02x07 - Dawn of the Dead

Post by bunniefuu »

[DAWN] So, now that I
finished college, I

think this will be my last summer here.

[TALVINDER] If the Mayans are
right, it might be everybody's.

[DAWN] God, I hope so. I
don't want to grow up.

'Cause I want to be a
camp counselor forever.

I don't know. I think it'll
be fun to grow up, you know?

Finally have your own freedom.

Right, because an unpaid internship and

a musty basement apartment is freedom.

Like your parents would ever put
you up in a musty basement.

[CHUCKLES] I think we should
get a place together.

- Really?
- Yeah.

I'd love that.

And if the world did end, we would have,

like, the party bunker. Am I right?

[CHUCKLES]

Okay, confession. I was going
for, like, a sexy Katniss thing,

but you look like Anne of Green Gables,

so I'm gonna need one more sh*t.

- Okay?
- Yeah.

[DAWN LAUGHING] Okay.
Just shake out the hair.

You're gonna have to teach me
how to do that later. [LAUGHS]

God, your hair's beautiful.

[SCREAMS]

[SCREAMING]

- [PETER] Renée!
- Mark!

Look.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

- [GRUNTING]
- [ENGINE SPUTTERING]

[PETER MUTTERING]

[PETER] It's out of gas.

Oh!

- It's Renée.
- [KEIRA GASPS] What about Mark?

- Mark!
- Mark!

- Mark!
- Mark!

Mark!

Mark.

Oh, my God, you're bleeding. Okay.

Hold this up to it. It'll
help with the pain.

- Are you injured anywhere else?
- Uh...

[INHALES SHARPLY] My side here,
where he slammed into me.

[INHALES SHARPLY]

[GROANING]

Now, he's got the g*n!

- [SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
- [CONTINUES GROANING]

Where's Renée?

Oh, God. Oh, Jesus Christ.

What were you guys doing out here?

I...

Renée was looking for
something in there.

Proof or something. I don't
know. She wouldn't tell me!

We need to get you back right now.

No.

We need to find out whatever
she was looking for.

[KEIRA] I say it was Dawn.

And I'm not just saying that
because she coldcocked me.

[PETER] No.

[KEIRA] "No"? Just "no"?

Okay, let me ask you something.
Whose idea was it to come up here?

All of ours, Keira.

Well, somebody must have
suggested it first.

- That's what I thought.
- Dawn?

Organizing and carrying out the
execution of eight people?

She can't even pick up
her own dry cleaning.

I don't know. She seems pretty serious

about her self-defense, if you ask me.

Okay, well, are any
of the files missing?

I don't know. There are dozens here.

Are your files missing?

- [SIGHS]
- Still don't think it could be Dawn?

You should rest, Dawn. You're injured.

Judith, someone out there wants me dead

and has m*rder*d at least
six people already,

- so why don't you try and rest?
- Hey, Dawn.

I know that was harsh. I just
can't take much more of this.

Okay, we are headed to the archery

range. Yes, it's very, very exciting.

Let's stay together. Don't wander off.

That'd be a lot of
annoying paperwork for me.

Hello! Guys! Let's go.

- Okay. Hi! Hey.
- Hi.

Hey, guys. Everybody, line up. So,
there's an old wise saying...

in the ancient world of archery.

You miss percent of the
sh*ts... that you don't take.

So... don't be afraid
and trust your arrow.

I'm not afraid, Dawn.

Oh, okay. Why do I always get stuck
with the Jason Voorhees types?

- You're a treat.
- You gonna try your luck today?

- Me?
- Mm-hmm.

- Sure, yeah.
- Great.

We'll show these kids how it's done.

- All right, scooch over a little.
- Scooch?

Yes, scooch. All right, we're gonna
grab the bow in our left hand.

So, you wanna be perpendicular
to your target.

- Okay.
- So, straighten this arm out.

There you go.

- Okay.
- We're grab our arrow... like so.

We're gonna attach it to the bow string.

I'm not very helpful.

- I'm sorry. [GIGGLING]
- No, it's okay.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

Now, we're gonna take
these three fingers...

- Okay.
- And draw it back.

And whenever you're ready...

Okay.

[LAUGHTER]

Oh, my God. You are such a loser.

Okay, yes, I have fired more
than one arrow in my lifetime.

- You're a modern-day Robin Hood.
- [GIGGLING]

Oh, it's just I've taken many
private lessons growing up.

Um, like fencing and archery
and horseback riding.

- Usually somewhere in Europe.
- Wow.

I'm sorry. That sounded douchey
and way cooler than it was. I...

"Usually somewhere in
Europe" is code for

"my parents were trying
to get rid of me."

Especially after they got divorced.

You missed that first sh*t on purpose.

Why?

I don't know.

Guys don't like it when
girls upstage them.

[SCOFFS]

They don't.

I guess I just... I've
always thought like that,

you know, that-that I have
to act, like, the right way.

Dawn, I want you to be
you... when you're around.

I don't want you to be someone
else or try to be something less.

Seriously, just... be you.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Oh, sh*t, she's gonna be pissed.
Um, I have to go... [CHUCKLES]

But thank you for this.
It was, like, really...

- It was very different.
- Different?

It was a good different. It was a
good different. Um, I have to go.

Maybe, uh, after it gets dark, we can

just... we'll walk or something.

I can't.

Owen, you keep asking me
out and I keep saying no.

No. No, you keep saying that
you have other plans, but...

Which is the same thing.

Please, this is really starting to
make me feel uncomfortable now.

- Okay.
- And...

my friend is actually on
her way over, so I'll...

- Okay.
- I'll see you later.

- sh*t. Owen again?
- Yes.

And if you were here on time, you
could have saved me from him.

That freak asked me out again.

- Oh, no.
- Oh, yes.

If he keeps doing this, we
have to talk to Mr. Dubois.

Well...

In the meantime...

Okay, I'm sorry I was
late, but I just had

the most incredible moment with Ryan.

So, you ditched me for a guy.

Well, when you put it like
that, it sounds awful, but...

if you were there, you would
totally have understood.

Normally, I'd be trying to get
with him, like, yesterday.

That's always been my MO, but...

I don't know. It just never ends
well, and with him, it's different.

It's just a summer fling. Why make it

more complicated than it needs to be?

[DAWN CHUCKLES] It's always
complicated, trust me.

Speaking of...

Here.

An ex-boyfriend gave it to me.
It is bad juju. I don't want it.

So, I get your bad juju?

No! It'll look great on you, and
it cost him a fortune, so...

- Oh. In that case, bring it on.
- [CHUCKLES]

Okay.

- See, it looks gorgeous.
- Thank you.

You're welcome, babe.

You just... You just
sit right there, okay?

You ready?

[KEIRA] Okay.

[KEIRA SIGHS] Where's the rest of her?

I think it's Mark.

That Mark?

- No.
- He could be working with someone.

Yeah, and that someone ran
him over with a snowmobile?

And stole Dawn's g*n? Why?

It's a good cover story
is all I'm saying.

Hey, wait, you were the other woman?

I'm not proud of it, but,
um, technically... yes.

Okay, what was that like?

You have to promise not to judge me.

I promise.

The home that I wrecked was mine.

When I was , um...

I seduced my stepfather.

Dawn, I'm so sorry.

No, no, it wasn't...
it wasn't like that.

It wasn't like that at all. He wasn't...

He wasn't grooming me or anything. Um...

He and my mom...

They'd been married for,
like, less than a year.

I told her, I said... that she
had terrible taste in men.

And I proved my point.

I haven't had a relationship that
lasted more than six months.

I don't wanna add to my body
count, and so, with Ryan...

with Ryan, I wanna do it differently.

I don't know how to do that. [CHUCKLES]

You know what you need?

A wingwoman.

[LAUGHS]

I don't know what I'd do without you.

[CHUCKLES]

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

[CLEARS THROAT]

Mark, how's your head?

I've still got a
headache, but, at least,

my double vision is crystal clear.

You sure you should be drinking
that? You might have a concussion.

Anything to dull the pain. You
want one? There's a couple extra.

Sure, why not?

- Anyone else?
- Sure.

No, I'm good.

Thank you.

- Bottoms up.
- Thanks.

Here's to alcohol not being on
the We Live As One no-fly list.

[WREN WHISTLES]

Uh, why don't... why don't we play a

drinking game? Never Have I Ever?

I'm up for it.

We used to play it all the time
when we worked here. Um...

So... if you've done it, you
drink. So, um, like, if I said...

"Never have I ever dated
a woman named Andi"...

you would drink.

Are we starting now?

[DAWN] Yes, drink.

Mm. My turn. Never have I ever...

- put my finger in someone's assh*le.
- [KEIRA] Ha-ha.

I'm a nurse, so I've done
that. But I'm not playing.

- Never done it.
- I can't say that I have.

So... what if none of us have done it?

Well, in that case, the
person who suggested it...

uh, has to take two chugs
out of their bottle.

That's one.

Uh, never have I ever...
cheated on my partner.

Uh, never... Ever have I never...

Wait.

[INHALES DEEPLY] Mm.

You're quiet.

Everything all right?

- Yeah.
- [CHUCKLES]

Everything's fine. [CHUCKLES]

I have some news.

I'm moving in with Dawn.

With Dawn?

Yeah, once we finally get
back to civilization.

Which means that you and
me should talk about us.

Look, Peter, I've been patient.

And I get it. That's cool. This is not

the time to bring up any drama, but...

in a couple of weeks, we'll
be back to the real world,

and I think that it's a
good time to talk to Andi.

- I don't know.
- You don't?

No, you said that you were gonna
break up with Andi. You said.

- Yeah.
- Peter? Peter.

Peter. Peter, look at me. I love you.

It's just... Andi and I have a history.

And... And I owe it to
her and to myself to...

try and work things out.

Look, I didn't want to hurt you.

That's the last thing I wanted to do.

So, you're using me to figure
out your feelings for Andi?

No, no, no, of course not.

- That's...
- Were you gonna tell her about us?

Or am I just some big dirty secret?
Is that... Is that what this is?

I'm gonna tell her.

When?

Eventually.

- When?
- Eventually!

[DAWN] And today, I'm having
trouble pitching my tent, right?

And... And Ryan steps in to help,

except the thing is, he has no
idea how to pitch a tent either.

So, we're, like... we're both there,

we're trying to put together this tent.

It is completely lopsided, and all
of the sudden, I am struck...

with this vision of, like, the two
of us having our own place...

like, assembling IKEA
furniture together.

I had no idea you guys
were that serious.

Okay.

I think I can picture it with him.

And, like, I've never pictured
it with anyone before.

But we're still gonna
move in together, right?

Yeah. Like, I'm obviously getting
way ahead of myself. [CHUCKLES]

Obviously.

And if things progress with Ryan,
I can just, like, sublet my room.

Um...

Yeah. I'm so happy for you.

[DAWN CHUCKLES]

[GROANS]

What'd you do to me?

What is he talking about?

Answer me.

He's the k*ller. Renée found evidence,
hm? Didn't she? Didn't she?!

No! No, no, no! [STAMMERING]
That's just my...

- You poisoned me.
- No, it's just ketamine.

We found it in Glenn's room.
You're gonna be fine.

You spiked my drink!
You spiked my drink.

How much did you give him?

If you gave him too
much, he can overdose.

Look at me, look at me, look at me.

Peter, you're gonna
go lie down upstairs.

No!

- No! No!
- Peter, we can't take the chance.

[KEIRA] Get your f*ckin' hands off me!

- [LOCK CLICKS]
- What are you doing?

[GRUNTS]

Mark, he could die out there.

Oh, now, you care? You just
poisoned your own friend!

And now, he's out there
and he's gonna to die!

- So, you better be f*cking right!
- [DAWN] Okay.

This was not supposed
to go down like this.

We were supposed to tie him
up and control him. Mark.

You go out that door, we
will not open it again!

- Get your f*cking...
- All right, listen.

I know you've developed
feelings for Peter,

but how well do you really know him?

Where was he when the other
people were being m*rder*d?

- Why didn't he answer my questions?
- Because his friend was dying.

No, Noah was not dead yet.

Are you willing to bet your life

on someone who's admitted
to covering up a m*rder?

How well do you know Dawn?

Did you know it was her idea to
come here in the first place?

Is that why you brought the g*n? So

you could get rid of the evidence?

We're the evidence.

Mark.

[KEIRA SCOFFS]

[JUDITH] Keira, wait!

I'll go talk to her.

You think I'm heartless.

Everything that has happened here
has been because of the decisions

that you and Peter and your
friends all made on that day.

What you need to do...

is you need to take a long,
hard look in the mirror.

You need to stop standing there

and acting like this is something
that's happening to you.

You need to take ownership for how

you closed your heart to that girl.

Okay, so let him know I'm interested,

but please don't make me
look like a desperate loser.

[TALVINDER] Don't
worry. I got your back.

[DAWN] Thank you, T.

Okay, thanks. [CLEARS THROAT]

Hey, Ryan, I'm taking drink orders
for the party tomorrow night.

That fake ID came in pretty handy, huh?

So, do you want beer, something harder?

Do you want me to grab
something for Saudia?

- Saudia?
- Yeah.

- Everyone knows you two are a couple.
- Uh...

[CHUCKLES] No, I...
Saudia's cool, but...

we're just friends, and...

Really, everyone thinks we're together?

Don't worry, we won't tell Mr. Dubois.

No, that's... that's not it.

Then what is it?

[SIGHS]

Dawn...

You know her better than anyone, right?

She is my best friend, yes.

Has she ever, I don't
know, talked about me?

She thinks you're really
good with her kids.

Oh, um...

That's it?

Sorry. Look, don't look so down.

Maybe she just thinks that
you and Saudia are together.

Yeah, yeah, maybe. Um...

You think I should maybe
ask her out sometime?


Eventually, yes, but...

Between you and I, she has some
hang-ups when it comes to dating.

If you want some advice, go slow.

Pushing her could trigger her.

What do you mean?

Um...

her stepfather...

um...

Oh... Oh, God, that's...

that's terrible.

Honestly, I shouldn't
have said anything.

No, no, you're just... you're just
trying to be a good friend. God.

Promise me you won't say anything
to her. She would k*ll me.

Yeah, I... I promise.

Um, thank you... for the advice.

[WREN CLEARS HIS THROAT]

Judith.

Judith.

- I feel dead.
- Don't say that.

We're doomed.

There's no point.

There's no point.

This is the point.

- Hey.
- Hey.

I really hate birds.

[CHUCKLES] Okay.

I do. I don't... I don't even understand

why people want them as pets.

You know, it's like...

They spread diseases. They
don't let you sleep in.

They... sh*t on you when
you're not looking.

- It's rude.
- It's rude.

So... back when I was at camp...

and not with these guys,
like, when I was a camper...

I...

was out for a hike, and I felt...

like, a cushiony feeling under my foot?

And I'd-I'd stepped on...
I think it was a sparrow.

Like, one of those little brown
birds that hops around. Um...

I guess it had hopped under
my foot and I stepped on it.

And the thing is, um, that the force

didn't k*ll it instantly, you know?

It was still alive, so now
it's up to me to decide

if I'm gonna let it
suffer and die slowly,

and so I-I closed my eyes
and I stomped on it.

The thing is, I didn't really
hate birds before then.

I actually kinda liked them.

I want you to know that...

you're right.

Everything that's happened is on us.

And if I survive this, then...

I'm gonna own up to what I did.

[SOBBING]

[DAWN] Um, I'm gonna be
back in a little bit, okay?

- Hey. Hey, how did it go last night?
- Uh... it went well.

But these are some apartment
listings that I printed out for us,

and these are the ones
that I've cross-referenced

with the bed bug registry.

Tal, come on. How did it go?

He said... that you're not his type.

What do you mean?

He said he's not into curvy girls.

He's into those, like, skeleton,
toothpicky types, you know?

So, he thinks I'm fat.

Of course not. And you
know that you're not.

You deserve someone better.

And in the meantime, you and I are

gonna have our own version of Friends.

It's cool. It's no big deal. I'm
gonna go, um, round up my campers.

[TALVINDER] Dawn, wait...

[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]

[TALVINDER] Chug, chug, chug, chug!
Go, go, go! You're on... Whoo!

- Dawn! Get it, girl!
- [LAUGHTER]

[BOY] Oh, man.

[GIRLS CHEERING]

Thank you so much.

Good evening. Oh, my God!
[LAUGHING] I'm fine.

Don't... Don't worry about me.

I'm just wondering what
you're all talking about.

Um...

Archery, climbing, you
know, ropes and belaying.

Belaying. [LAUGHING]

I know you'd love to get "be-laid."

How about this pretty young thing?

I bet she has real good grip
strength, right? [BLOWING RASPBERRY]

Look... No, no, you don't have to get

up. I just wanted... [MUTTERING]

Look, I just wanted to say that
I... I came to say I don't care.

Can I say one more thing?
What is with the beanie?

This, I don't know about.

I just wanna know... 'cause it's
like... Are you hot, are you cold?

Why are you being like this?

I'm sorry for you 'cause I think you
can't handle all this... woman.

- Jesus, Dawn. I'm just...
- [GIGGLING]

I know what you are. You're
a superficial assh*le.

I know.

I'm respecting you and your problems.

My problems? What problems?

Look, I know about your
stepfather, how he molested you.

f*ck you.

f*ck you, that's not what
f*cking happened, okay?

Who the f*ck told you that sh*t?

[TALVINDER] Who's next?

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

Hey, do you mind putting
on a pot of coffee?

I guess we're gonna
be up all night, huh?

- Mm, yeah.
- Yeah.

Thank you.

- Open the door.
- Why should I do that?

Open the door.

- Why?
- I found something.

What is it? Just tell
me, tell me right here.

Dawn, it's f*cking cold
out here. Open the door.

Listen, listen, listen, listen.

This whole thing... This whole
thing... This whole thing... Listen.

It's not about Talvinder.

- It's not?
- No, it's about Owen.

- How do you know that?
- [GRUNTING]

Peter said he knows who the k*ller is.

Well, good thing Mark knocked him out

before we got the chance to ask him.

Unless you did that on purpose.

Are you accusing me of something?

You were there when Renée was k*lled.

I was unconscious.

- Yeah, you could have staged that.
- Okay, okay, okay.

If Peter knows who the k*ller is,
then-then we have to wake him up.

- We have to wake him up.
- We can't just wake him up!

He was lying to you.

He was just trying to draw you outside
so that he could k*ll you too.

Guys... is that Andi's hair?

Guys, why does he have that?

Maybe he wanted to keep it as a
memento. You know, a trophy.

The way that serial K*llers do.

[DAWN] Don't trust anyone.

That is the lesson here.

She fooled us all.

That girl sets feminism back
more than any man ever could.

She's not a girl. She's a plague.

She's worse than a plague.

Plagues don't choose to be plagues.

She's evil.

So, we all agree.

Something has to be done.

We could fill her hairdryer
with corn starch.

[SCOFFS] Um, well, corn
starch is pretty flammable,

so unless we want to set
her head on fire...

[SUSAN] Okay. So, we write
her a letter from her mom.

We say, "You're a huge disappointment.

I never loved you. I should
have had an abortion."

That's f*cked up, Susan. Jesus.

Remind me never to piss you off.

[SUSAN] Okay. Okay, fine, but...

we're not starting some
little prank w*r thing,

where we do something and
she does something back.

We need to scare the life out of her.

What about that "Talvinder
on trial" idea?

We get her to confess.

We take her out in the
middle of nowhere.

We make her walk back all by herself.

She'll sh*t her pants.

I'm so down for that plan.

Okay.

It's settled, then.

Let's destroy that lying bitch.

[CRYING] No, no, no, no, no!

No, no, no.

No, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no.

It can't be him.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

[WREN] Judith.

Don't do it.

Judith.

Put the g*n down.

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

What is it?

Judith is not in her room.

Well, where is she?

I don't know. I've searched
everywhere. She's not in this house.

There are some people...

on the forks in the road of life...

who persistently choose the wrong one.

Please don't do it.

Judith.

Judith!

How could I live now
that I know that you...

'Cause I love you.

I love you. I do.

And you love me.

It's not necessary. Give me the g*n.

Come on, Judith. What
do they matter? The

only thing that matters is you and me.

It's us.

Wren...

why?

- How could you?
- Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter.

Judith, Judith, focus.

- Hey, hey.
- [CRYING]

Do you love me?

Just be honest. Do you love me?

Yes.

Give me the g*n.

Just give me the g*n.

I love you so much.

[SIGHS]

So much.

I love you too.

[MARK] Judith!

Judith!

No! No! No! Don't do it!

No!
