01x01 - Friday the 13th

[bunniefuu]

There once was a little tree
growing in the forest.

And this tree wanted so bad
to grow up

and be the best tree
it could be,

so it did everything

good little trees
have always done.

It drank water
through its roots, and it grew.

It bathed in the sunlight,
and it grew.

It sheltered families
of birds...

Little animals, and it grew.

And then one day,
a woodcutter came along,

and he said,
"Well, I'm gonna cut you down."

"Oh, no," said the little tree.

"No, because I'm gonna grow
big and tall."

"And anytime anyone
looks up towards me,"

"they're gonna think
of heaven."

But with one swoop of his axe...

ooh, that woodcutter just
chopped that tree right down.

And that tree was so sad.

But then it was cut
into beams...

and made into a cross.

Jesus' cross.

And now anytime
anyone looks at that tree...

they think of God.

So next time you're sad

because you didn't get
what you want,

you just wait.

Because God has something
even better for you.

The kids are gonna love it.

Oh, hi.

Go, go, go, go, go.

Go.

I just didn't realize
today was Friday, I guess.

It's just, why do you have
to go on the weekend?

It's not right.

Honey, it's M.

It's our biggest account yet.

I can't just ask them
to shut down

their entire phone system
during business hours

just to fix the system
that we installed.

Honey...

I'm sorry.

I just think my...

my stomach is starting
to act up again...

You're getting yourself
all worked up.

I'm sorry.

I know you hate it
when I have to leave.

Well, Christina will be
back later.

You can play with the puppy.

I'm just so scared.

If I'm pregnant again,

there goes teaching
next semester.

Did you take the second pill?

And the vacation
is gonna be ruined.

Betty, stop.

Hey.

I really don't think
you're pregnant.

Just take the second pill.

You're torturing yourself
for no reason.

I don't like when you leave.

It's just a few days.

When I get back, we'll really
get down to brass tacks.

We'll make a list...

All the things we did before

and all the things
we want to do that we missed.

We'll practice our French.

Ca va?

Yes.

Can we go back to the place
where there were no sheets?

Yeah.

Maybe we can look
and see if... if the spoon

is still there that we hid

under the rock
next to the stream.

It's been ten years, Betty.

I don't know what came over me.

I just... I just took it,
and you...

oh, you laughed and laughed.

Said you didn't know

that you had married
an international thief.

I should've suspected,
the way you stole my heart.

Everything's gonna be fine.

Say, "Bye, Daddy."

Okay. Okay.

But it all went boom, remember?

Becky, glasses.

When he dropped
the thing, it was like...

Yeah, but Vader wasn't
on it, remember?

He was out chasing
the good guys and Luke

on his little ship.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, my gosh, that means
Vader could be in this one.

I don't know, maybe.

Mom, can I have braids?

Baby, I don't think
your hair is long enough.

Let's do earmuffs.
Is that okay?

Jason,
only those on the Dark Side

don't use their utensils.

Leave him. He's eating.

And can Christina come?
She has to come.

- Where?
- New Star Wars.

Okay, eat your breakfast.

Pat.

What you think?

I don't have a problem with it,

but do you really think
Betty's gonna agree?

I don't think Betty
will have a problem

with Christina
staying another night.

I mean, she's got her hands
full with that baby.

That's not what I meant,
and you know it.

If we don't take her,
she will never see it,

and it's not harmful.

Betty is just
an overprotective homebody.

Poor thing.

I don't really think
she has any fun

unless she's with us.

Christina, how would you
like to go see

The Empire Strikes Back
with us and stay another night?

Well, I take it
you've cleared your schedule.

Yes. I just have swim today.

Okay, I can take you there, hon.

But I don't have my suit.

Of course,
I will swing by your house,

and I will pick it up

while the three of y'all are
at bible school.

Sound good?

Jason, may the fork be with you.

Hello?

Oh, hi, Betty. It's Candy.

Listen, the girls are
just having so much fun

and just begged
for another night,

and I know we never do
two nights in a row,

but I just figured
you had your hands full

with that darling baby
and that you wouldn't mind.

The thing is, I'm just gonna
have to swing by

and pick up
Christina's bathing suit

for the swim lesson,

so is there a time
that's good for you?

Um, noon.
Noon.

Hmm, yeah, I suppose
I could make that work.

You know, so much to do.

You... you'll also need
peppermints

because I give her one
during the swim lesson

- when she puts her head under.
- Peachy.

All right, see ya, hon.
Bye.

Oh, no. Not me!

Okay, wait! Hold on!
Yes, you! Yes, you!

Totally!

Can you please
stop sitting on me?

The sun is actually back.

All right, y'all, let's go.

Watch out.
It's Friday the th.

Extra bad luck.

Morning, Candy!

Hey, morning.

Good morning, Ron.
How are we today?

- Reverend.
- Reverend Ron.

I'm so sorry.
That old habit is a doozy.

Mrs. Montgomery, you know,
I prefer if you knock.

You know, I just thought
I'd pop in to see

if maybe, possibly, you were
gonna make an appearance today,

because this is our last day
and we haven't seen you yet.

I think vacation bible school
is best left to the mothers.

Don't you?
No, I do not.

Jackie used to come
and pray and sing...

Reverend Ponder's
no longer with this parish.

Yes.

Oh, you know...

Sherry Cleckler and I just
started a decorating business...

The Cover Girls.

We could really help you out
with all this.

Oh, the one thing I do know is,

I-I do not want
a feminine touch.

Okay.

Well, if you change your mind,
just give me a call.

See you soon.

Fetch.

- Allan.
- Yeah.

Betty just called.

To give me hell about
sending you out in the field.

I'm sorry. It's fine.

It's all fine, really.
She's just...

She's a little emotional
right now, but... I'm sorry.

Go by Cossetta's on th
while you're out there.

Bring her back something sweet.
I will.

Thank you.
I'm sorry.

I told her
not to do this anymore.

So next time
when you're feeling sad

because you didn't get
what you want,

you just wait...

'cause God has something
even better for you.

I have to call Sherry
and tell her

I can't drop off the card table.

She can swing by the house
and get it.

But if I leave now to get
Christina's bathing suit...

Oh, Betty told me
to come at noon,

but now works better for me,
when I think of it.

Miss Betty... Jesus forgive me,

but I can never tell
if she loves children too much

or not at all.

Oh, she just needs to loosen up.

Mm.

No, besides, if I leave now,

I might have time
to stop at Target

and pick up Father's Day cards

for the kids on the way back,
then pick up the kids,

then home to change,
then go to the pool,

then back home to change again

before we meet Pat for dinner
and the movie.

Lord, you make me tired
just listening to you.

But look at you...
You can do it all, Miss Candy.

Well, it's nothing
if I can keep it all straight.

Well, just mind you get back
in time to see the pageant.

Should be cute.

Oh, I will be back for that.
Should only be an hour or so.

That's why I'm going
to the Plano Target.

Mm, smart.

All right, well, I'm gonna git.

Hey, y'all.

Smile big.

Yes, dear.

Have you seen my mother?

I know she had
some things to do,

but she said she'll be back.

Okay, everyone,
we're about to get started.

Bears, cats,

cows...

- Aiden...
- Lions...

Penguins.

Giraffes, dinosaurs.

Bunnies...

elephant.

Christina!

Candy, oh, my God,
where have you been?

Becky noticed
that you missed the pageant.

Not sure if little Jason did
'cause he was...

Well, Betty and I
got to talking,

and then I went down
to the Target in Plano,

like I said,
and you will not believe,

when I got there, I realized
my watch had stopped,

and then I felt like
I had been gone too long.

So I didn't even go in.
I just came right back here.

And now I guess I'm just gonna
have to make it up to 'em.

Okay, well, calm down, now.
Nobody's judging you.

Can't be perfect all the time.

Oh, aren't your little
sneakers so darling?

I'm used to seeing
your old b*at-up shower shoes.

Thank you.

- Here you go, hon.
- Thank you.

Oh.

- Mom.
- Hi, baby. I am so sorry.

I went to get
Christina's bathing suit

and then to the Target in Plano
to get your Father's Day cards,

but my watch stopped,
and I lost track of time,

and I got here
as soon as I could.

I wanted to pick out
my own card.

Oh, well, of course.

Let's go do that
after we're done eating, okay?

Okay.

- Ooh! Ooh! Mom?
- Third world babies.

Aw.

Come on,
let's get something sweet.

Becky, help Christina
get ready for swim.

- Pat Montgomery.
- Hi, hon.

Oh, hi, hon.
What's going on?

Uh, Christina will be coming
to the movie with us tonight

and spending the night again,
and I was wondering

if you could go to the bank
and get some more cash

'cause I'm just not gonna
have enough time,

because I got to talking
to Betty, and I just...

I ran later than I thought,

and then when I went
down to Target

and, when I got there,
realized my watch had stopped,

and I didn't even go in.

I just went straight back
to the church,

and I missed the kids' pageant,

but I did get
Christina's bathing suit.

And now we're back here
at the house, and I'm just...

Got to get these kids
out to the pool.

And then I got to find time
to go get gas

before we head down to see you,

and then of course
we're gonna come back

to the house to change
after the pool before,

so do you think you could
make it to the bank?

Sure.
That's a lot.

You okay?
I'm fine. I'm fine.

Just some suburban car calculus.

Yeah, we're living the dream.

We are.

Hey, do you know where
Allan Gore's working today?

No.
Why?

Never mind.
Bye.

Bye.

Good afternoon, sir.
How can I help you?

Uh, I would like to buy
some traveler's checks.

Of course.

How much would you like to spend

and in which denomination?

British pounds, please.

Do you hold an account with us?

Oh.

Yes, of course.
Here's my card.

My wife is gonna be so pleased
to get these check numbers.

I think it's gonna make
the trip more real for her,

you know?

Lovely.
Going to England?

No, Switzerland.
Sort of a second honeymoon.

We were there, uh,
shortly after our wedding.

I was, uh, on a work assignment.

One of the happiest times
of our life.

Might as well go back, right?

They say you can always go back.

Do they?

Yeah... yeah, where is that from?

I don't know,
but, uh, I've heard it.

Yeah. Well, it works for me.

Now, do make a note
of the numbers on these checks.

If they are lost or misplaced,

they can be canceled
and replaced.

Yes, I am going
to call my wife right now

and give her these numbers.

Thank you.

Hey, y'all.

- Hey.
- Hi, hon.

You know, I was thinking
about it,

and I think we're meant to hate

Kristen's Ewing Oil condo,
but I don't know.

I mean, I know that it's dated,

but what's so wrong
with... with old things?

I mean, people thought they
were beautiful at one point.

But besides that,
that whole affair is just... hoo!

Sometimes I think even I could
go for a-a strong, bad man

who goes after what he wants,

even if it is
his wife's evil sister.

And that mother of theirs...

So overbearing, sweet Jesus.

My, my, what is wrong?

- Nothing.
- What?

No, come on now,
miss girly-girl.

You tell me everything.

Just too much coffee, I suppose.

Well, I'm not buying that, hon.

All right, look, let me get
the in-laws out of the house,

and then when I come back
and return the table,

we'll have a nice long gab
about whatever this is.

- I'm fine.
- All right, kisses.

Final boarding for flight ,

Minneapolis, Saint Paul...
Gate B.

Hey. Hey. Hey!

Remember that guy who was
roller-skating down the hall,

and he turned around,
and he went like this...

Mom, he's doing it again.

What does that mean?

It's bad, and he's not
supposed to be doing it.

Mom.

I'm gonna do it to baby Valerie.

All she does is cry.

You getting a quick nap?

- Daddy!
- Yeah.

Oh, ew.

I didn't think
the kids would be here.

No!

We're going to see
Star Wars, remember?

We said that this morning.

I know. I'm joking, sport.

Hey, : hasn't started yet,

and there are
still tickets left.

Why don't we go see the movie
now and eat afterwards?

Yeah? All right.

- Come on!
- Okay, let's go.

I'm sorry I'm taking so long.

- Let's go.
- Climb on out here, buddy.

Oh, you guys, you're so excited.

- You got your lightsaber?
- Come on!

All right, be careful with that.

- Wait for me, Becky!
- Come on!

All right, perfect.
Thank you.

Hey, you mind
if we wait on dinner?

I got to get a jog in.
I brought my Tigers.

They got reflectors in the back,

in case it gets dark.

You're welcome to join.
No, that's all right.

I'm gonna head upstairs,
try Betty again,

but just give me a call
when you're ready to eat, yeah?

Yeah, okay.

Hello, Operator?

I'm wondering if you could
help me place a call.

I'm having a bit of a hard time
getting through.

Wylie, Texas.

Allan Gore residence.

Thank you.

Oh, um... no, thank you.

I-I'll just try back later.

All right.

But Dad, is Han dead?

No, they wouldn't do that.

- I cut off your hand!
- No!

Why does Princess Leia
hate him so much?

I don't think she hates him.

I think she might love him.

No, I don't want the love stuff.

Jason, I am your father,

and I love you.

No!

You okay?
You look like you're limping.

Oh, uh, I cut my toe
on the storm door earlier.

You know, the one
I asked you to fix?

Oh, you did.
I'm sorry.

This weekend, I promise.
Okay.

Hey, I forget.
Does anybody like tacos?

Tacos, tacos, tacos!

All right, I'll pick 'em up.
I'll meet you at home.

- Okay.
- I want to come.

Yeah, I'll take him.
You take the girls.

Yep.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.
I'll see you at home.

Mom, when we get home,
can we play dress-up?

Mm-hmm.

Can you do my makeup?

Yeah, I'm good at it.

My mom says
ladies pinch their cheeks.

They don't use rouge.

That's ridiculous.

Four miles.

I'm really getting
my conditioning up.

- Proud of you, baby.
- Thank you.

- Hello?
- Hey, Candy, it's Allan.

Oh.

Well, hi, Allan.

W-where are you?

Oh, I'm in, um...
I'm in Saint Paul.

Hey, have you seen Betty
at all today?

Uh, well, I did see her
this morning

when I went to get
Christina's bathing suit.

She's here with us,
staying another night.

I...

Did she seem all right?

Well, yeah, she seemed fine.

Christina's here with us,
staying another night.

Would you like to speak to her?

Um... yes.
Thanks.

Christina,
your daddy's on the phone.

Come say hi.

Just a sec.

Yep.

♪ It's tearing me apart ♪

- Hi, Daddy.
- Hey, sweetheart.

- Are you having fun?
- Yes. Candy...

Miss Candy.

Miss Candy took me to swimming,

and then I went under
and had a mint.

Well, I hope you had
some dinner, too.

- Yes, we had tacos.
- Good.

Well...

night-night.

Okay, love you.

- Hey, Allan.
- Hey.

- Is everything all right?
- I'm sure it is.

Betty's not answering the phone.

Oh.

Would you like me
to go over there?

No, I'm sure everything's fine.

I'll have a neighbor
do that, though.

Well, okay.

If you change your mind...

Oh, I'm sure everything's fine.

Thanks, Candy.

Oh, you're welcome.

- Bye.
- Okay, bye.

What was that all about?

He just said Betty wasn't
answering the phone.

I mean, she seemed fine
when I saw her this morning,

but then I went to Target,
and I realized

my watch had stopped.

I didn't even go in. I just...

Just went right back
to the church to get the kids.

You said that before.

Did I?

Hmm.

Hello, I'm... I'm looking
for a phone number

for Richard Parker
in Wylie, Texas.

Oh, sorry.
Hang on one second.

Yeah, go ahead.

Okay.

Perfect.
Thank you so much.

Hello?

Hey, Richard, this is Allan Gore

from, uh, across the street.

Uh, hey, Allan.

Hey, I'm really glad
you're home.

Could I ask you for a favor?

I was wondering if you
wouldn't mind just popping

across the street
and checking on Betty for me.

- Uh...
- She's not answering

the phone, and, um...
I'm a little worried about it.

Yeah, uh, I got
the kids here, Allan.

I promise I wouldn't ask
if it wasn't important.

It's the wife's
bridge night, so...

I get it.

Richard, I'm in Saint Paul
on business,

and, you know,
I've been calling her all day.

She always answers the phone,
and, um, she's not.

So I could really use
your help, Richard,

if you don't mind.

Uh, yeah.
Okay.

Okay.

I can't, uh... I can't do it
just right yet, Allan,

but, uh, I will.

Hello?

Sid.

Yeah. Yeah, of course.
I'll be right down.

- Hey.
- Hey.

You ready? I called.

The restaurant's still serving.

Hi. Uh, Allan Gore, room .

I'm wondering if you could have
any calls that come in for me

just forwarded
to the restaurant.

- Yes, sir.
- Thank you.

Man...

I really worked up an appetite.

Oh. Yeah.
Yep.

Good evening, gentlemen.
What can I bring you?

Uh, I'm Allan Gore.

Just in case
a phone call comes in.

Has a phone call come in for me?

Not that I know of,

but we'll keep
an ear out for you.

Can I get you something to eat?

Yeah, um, it's not on the menu,

but could I possibly just have

some steamed chicken...
Just, like, a half chicken.

- Okay.
- Vegetables.

Or baked... baked is fine,
but steamed, if you can.

Uh, I'll go check and come back.

I'm sure we can
work something out.

And for you, sir?

Oh.

I'm... I'm not really
that hungry right now,

but maybe...

Maybe just a slice
of cheesecake.

All right,
that is my kind of dinner.

Cheesecake.

Man, I wish
I could eat like that,

but those pounds,
they're not gonna

keep themselves off, you know?

- Uh, you look great.
- Thanks, buddy.

You know, it makes
the soreness worth it.

You try her friends?

Oh, she doesn't really
have any friends.

She never leaves
the house at night, so...

Uh, Mr. Gore,
the front desk said

a Richard Parker called for you.

Said to call back when you can.
Thank you.

Uh, I'm gonna... I'm gonna go.

What about your cake?

You can just have them,

uh, send it up to the room,
I guess.

Thank you.

- Hey, Allan.
- Hey, Richard.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Uh, yeah,
I, uh, knocked real hard there

a couple times, and, uh...
Okay, and?

Nothing, uh, but your
small car is gone, though,

so she must be out.

Um...
do you have a phone book...

Nearby?

Would you mind
just flipping through

and giving me a couple numbers?

Give me the number
for Medical City

and, uh...

maybe the Wylie Police?

Just a sec.

Hello?

Candy.

Allan, is everything all right?

Did you find Betty?

No, I, uh...

I called the hospital
and I called the police,

and neither of them know
where she is,

or the baby.

I should go over there.

Do you want me to go over there?

No, I'm gonna have
a neighbor go again.

Oh, Allan.

Thanks, Candy.

Good night.

Good night.

Hello?

Hey, it's me again.
I'm so sorry, Richard.

Would you mind just going
over there one more time?

Maybe she fell.

And just check all the doors?

Please?

Yeah.
All right.

Um, just hold on.
Thank you.

Hey, Allan?
Yeah.

Uh, her car is there.
I just hadn't seen it before.

It was pulled all the way up.

Now, the lights are on,

but it doesn't seem
like anyone's home.

I need you to get
into that house, Richard.

I don't care how you do it.

Uh, okay.
Yeah.

Um, you know, I might still
have my, uh, realtor's key.

Break a g*dd*mn window
if you have to.

Just get into that house.

Richard?

Christ, Jerry,
what are you doing here?

Allan called, asked me
to check out the house.

Same here.

I don't know about this.

I feel it too.

Ruth insisted I bring it.

Good.

Whoa, whoa, it's me, Lester.

What are you doing here?

Ruth called. She was worried.
Asked me to come back you up.

What's going on here?

Trying to find out.
It's weird.

Allan can't get ahold of Betty,
but the car is here

and the lights are on,
and no one's opening the door.

I got my key ring.
I'll see if one of these works.

How about you two go out back

and see if there's a window
or something?

Watch your step.

Jerry! Lester!

The door was unlocked.

Betty?

Hey, Richard.

Oh, my God.

Baby, come here.
Oh, get her out of here.

Oh, Jesus.
Oh, no.

Oh, poor thing.

I got you.
I got you, baby.

Honey, take her.

- Lord, what's going on?
- Just see to her, all right?

Call the police, and you
send 'em to the Gores' house.

Oh, what...
What are you getting that for?

Stay inside
with the doors locked

till I come back, you hear?

Tell me what's going on, baby.

Just lock the door behind me.

Oh, my God. Jeez.

What is it, Lester?

Good God almighty.

Hello?

Hello?
This is Allan.

Allan.

Allan, Jerry here.

Hey, Jerry.

Listen...

it's not good.

But the baby's okay.

What about Betty?

I'm sorry, Allan.
It looks like she's been sh*t.

sh*t?

We don't even own a g*n.

Hello?

Candy.

Allan.

It's Betty.

She's dead.

She's been sh*t.

Wait, sh*t?

W-with a g*n?

Yeah.

Everything's gonna be all right.
