04x08 - Crush

[bunniefuu]

Previously on “Haven "...

I know, Wade.
I saw the bodies.

I saw your dumping ground.

You're not gonna turn me in,
are you?

We're brothers.

No, stay here.
I need you.

I need a taste.

[Gasps]
Oh, my God.

Wade!

Don't make me do it.

I will k*ll you if I have to.

Wade!

JENNIFER: Oh, my God!

You had no choice.
He wanted it to end this way.

You saved my life.

Your trouble, it's gone.

No one can know about any of this.

Is that a mark that only I can see?

Maybe that's why her trouble
spread to other people.

That is not how the troubles work.

Yeah, but what if it's all changing?

Wade Osborn Crocker.

[Sighs]

You said yourself that Agent Howard
was a hard man to track down.

He controlled the barn, and Audrey,
and my adoption.

- How did you find --
- I was up all night.

I narrowed the list down
to six families.

You, Jennifer, were born
to one of them.

These families are all in Haven?

Turns out you're a local.

My birth parents are here?

Well, what if I've already met them
by accident?

No, the question is, are you ready
to meet them on purpose?

[Door opens, bell rings]

A word, brother.

I brought Cabot's journal.

I need you to read it.

Not now. I have to find Nathan.
He's not answering his phone.

Listen, Carrie Benson's
dream trouble became contagious.

That's never happened before.

It's a trouble, chicken little.

-[ Clears throat]
-[ Chuckles]

I can't feel the bowl.

I can't feel the whisk,
but I can feel that.

Well, can you feel that?

- Mm-mm.
-[ Laughs]

- Okay, yeah.
-[ Laughs]

Why did we wait so long?

Haven.

It's not an easy place.

At least Haven
has both of us again.

And if helping the troubles

is what I'm supposed
to do karmically --

that was a little bit
of a Lexie word.

Sorry, those creep in
every once in a while.

It's okay.

I've grown more fond of her.

- Have you?
- Mm-hmm.

Mm.

[Knock at door]

Um...

Lexie.

Vince.

It's a little early, isn't it?

Where's Nathan?

Uh...
[Chuckles]

Nathan.

Where have you been?

I was just looking for Duke.

You're here for Duke
while she's up there all alone?

You agreed to execute a plan.

You're supposed to make her
fall in love with you.

Ah, well, it's like the old
Phil Collins song.

You can't hurry love.

It's The Supremes.

I'm sorry to have to rush you
toward your own death, Nathan.

I really am,

but the troubles
are destroying this town,

and The Guards patience
is growing thin.

Get Lexie to fall in love with you.

[ Door opens]

MAN: You've reached
Driscoll Scuba and Salvage.

Leave a message.

Hey, Jack, it's Duke.

Listen, I need
my bilge pump back today.

Call me back.

- Hey.
- Hey.

How'd it go?

Fine.

I need you to get your stuff
off the rouge.

I'm -- I'm leaving town
as soon as my buddy

returns my bilge pump, so...

Oh.
When are you coming back?

I'm not coming back.

Well, are you really in the best
emotional state to make --

Look, Jennifer, I'm a businessman.

Now, some of my business
is above board, most of it not,

but the point is
it's all designed to benefit me.

And somehow,
I've become the schmuck

who helps everyone else.

And it just needs to stop.

- Yeah, but don't you think --
- Please.

Just get your stuff.

[Thud]

-[ High-pitched screech ]
- Ah.

[High-pitched screech]

Oh, come on.
Can't I just leave?

Hey!

- Ah.
- Ah!

Come on!

You okay?

[Somber folk music]

931.
What's your emergency?

There was some kind of accident

at the intersection
of Mills and Lumley.

At least one person injured.

Make that dead.

Duke.

I don't have your pump, but you
don't have to destroy the place.

Jack, you all right?

I'm breathing, which is more
than I can say for this guy.

Gotta be a trouble,

someone that can crush things
from a distance.

No, it's some kind of pressure.

MY ears popped.

Look at this.
His eardrums burst.

Watch face cracked.

It's pressure-proofed
to 300 feet. What --

It takes a lot more pressure
than that to shatter car glass.

This was like --

like a couple of thousand feet
underwater.

Yeah, without the water.

Gotta love Haven.

Yeah.

Say you love Haven, Duke.

Dave? You all right?

Get the f-fire ants off my neck.

My elbows gonna explode.

What the hell is wrong
with these two?

All right, confusion,

itchy neck, joint pains.

They -- they're acting funny
because of the pressure.

They got the bends.

I'm standing straight as an arrow.

No, you're really sick.

If we don't get you treatment,
you're both dead.

Someone subjected the area

to a crushing force,
like being deep underwater.

Oh, it's Lexie "do-it“.

- Dewitt.
- Yeah.

Anyway, from what I can tell,

the pressure grew like a bubble,
spreading outward.

Now there's less pressure
on the edge

and several thousand PSIs
right around here.

Cars exploded,
uh, streetlights --

No, imploded --

The glass flew inward
because of the pressure.

Any closed system --

a ball, or a bottle, or a car
with the windows rolled up --

implodes.

So does that mean that the people,
that their lungs imploded, too?

Well, technically speaking,
it's called a lung collapse,

which makes the brothers Teague
very lucky.

What, they survived the pressure?

Remarkably, yes.
They're tough old codgers.

But what got them was
the decompression after the att*ck.

It's like when scuba divers
come up too fast.

The bends.

How do you treat the bends?

A decompression chamber.

All right.

Brought 'em down deep again.

Now we just bring 'em up slowly,

and give their bodies time
to expel the nitrogen.

- Until then, they're drunk as skunks.
- Mm-hmm.

♪ The soft spot ♪

We ripped it wide open.

The Mi'kmaq prophesized doom,
Vincent.

[indistinct muttering]

What the hell are
they talking about?

I never know
what they're talking about.

Shut up, Dave.
You look like a turtle.

Drag me to Haven,
convince me to stay,

offer me room on your boat.

[Grunts]

How does this thing even float?

Hey.

Did you just see that horseshoe crab
with human-looking eyes?

I mean, the barnacles on them --

No, it had human eyes.

Oh, but what do you care?

You just want me off your boat
because you're bound for Timbuktu.

Timbuktu is landlocked,

and I'm not bound anywhere
until Vince and Dave are okay.

What?

There was a trouble.

We got 'em to safety,
but look, I just --

I wanted to come and say that I'm --
I'm sorry about how I handled --

You're so full of crap.
Do you know that?

Wow, who taught you
how to accept an apology?

You saved my life, Duke.

You've saved Lexie's life,
Nathan's life twice,

and now Vince and Dave.

Am I missing anyone?

I mean, there was the little girl
with the basketball, but...

You are a hero, Duke.

You're the guy who sacrifices
himself for other people.

That is why I have to leave.

Where have any of these sacrifices
gotten me or this town?

The chances are that little girl

is gonna activate her trouble
next week

and turn 10 people
into purple slime.

[Sighs]

The point is...

I'm done here.

Let Nathan and Lexie be heroes,

and just let me be me.

Is this about Lexie?

No.

It isn't.

Then just stay for a few days.

Why?

Never mind.

Great.

Well, it looks like
our troubled person

was near old Jill Nunis here.

The pressure damage on her body
is considerably more extensive.

Actually, I'm thinking
the troubled person

was in the car with her.

Other cars imploded,
like you said,

The glass rained inward.

But this car's glass is
all out on the road.

Right,
so the pressure started inside.

Fresh mud on the floor.

Our troubled person was
Jill Nunis's passenger.

Any of the witnesses see
who that was?

No, but apparently, Mrs. Nunis here
nearly ran over Vince and Dave

moments before
the pressure began.

So they probably saw
our troubled person.

Go sit down.
Take it easy.

Watch your step.

[Sighs]

[Groans]

Um, I know I'm new
to this whole trouble thing,

but this is
a deep-sea pressure curse.

Jack is a deep-sea diver.

Why is no one thinking of him
as the troubled person?

Jack's a Driscoll.

No Driscoll has ever had a trouble,

going all the way back
to the founding of Haven.

It's like saying that a man
is pregnant.

Don't you have a bilge to get?

Yeah.

Jack?

And you can't, I don't know,

pick up a new trouble
along the way?

No one ever has.

Driscolls and Crockers
have defended Haven

for hundreds of years.

Leaving's a big decision.

It's easier than you think.

At least we still have Wade

to carry on
the cr*cker family tradition.

My brother has your pump.

Great.
I'll see you.

Let him know
I'm heading over there now.

I don't think Aiden's up yet.

[Sighs]

I took him out celebrating.

You heard his wife's pregnant?

Yeah, I heard.

Don't worry, I'll give your spot
at the christening to Wade.

Yeah.

Hey, Duke.

God, thank you so much for helping
Vince and Dave back there.

- Yeah,
- Hey, Duke, hold up.

Hey, you're a scuba diver, right?

We could really use your help
on this case.

[Laughs]

You know, I liked it so much better
when you hated me.

How the hell did we get here?

Get where?

I'm supposed to be the selfish one.

Now all I do is put my ass on the line
for the two of you.

You're supposed to be the cops
who protect this town.

But lately, the only people you seem
to be protecting are yourselves.

What just happened?

[ Scoffs ]

Do you think he knows about us?

I don't know.
He might.

And what he said...

He's not entirely wrong.

Yeah. He is.

Jill Nunis almost ran us over
with her car.

We're pretty sure
the troubled person

was in her passenger seat.

Not possible.
She was with Jack.

The Driscolls aren't troubled.

Jack?

Jack.

Mud on his boots.

You were at the center
of the pressure att*ck,

but you weren't affected.

Oh, guess I got lucky.

Maybe it wasn't luck.

All signs point
to this being your trouble.

[Laughs]

What is it, April Fools?

I'm afraid not.

We think that you caused
this pressure.

No, I --

No way.
That's impossible.

It's happening again!

Jack, you're doing this.

We've got to get out of here.

Make it stop!

Nathan!
Seal me in.

AUDREY: Nathan! Ah!

Everyone all right?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Look at this.

2,000 feel of pressure.

10 times deeper
than most scuba dives.

No wonder people are dying.

I know we said you were immune
to the troubles.

You usually are,

but physical phenomena
can still hurt you.

[Knocks on window]

This can't be happening.
I'm not troubled.

My uncle was Reverend Driscoll.

My family's pride is
all about not being troubled-.

Listen, we'll figure it out.
I promise.

Okay, Carrie Benson.

Her trouble changed.

Before, it only affected
the women in her family.

Then she was kidnapped,

and her trouble spread
all over the county.

- This is what I was talking about.
- Shush.

Jack, there was a woman recently
whose trouble changed

when she was att*cked
by two men.

Were you att*cked?

I wish I could say no,
but it's possible.

I-I- passed out last night-.

I was drinking
with my brother Aiden,

and then I woke up in a ditch
by the side of route 4.

L-I hitched a ride into town
with Mrs. Nunis.

You didn't wonder
how you got there?

I've woken up in stranger places.

Take off your shirt.

They left a mark
on their last victim.

Turn around.

There it is.

It's there.
Someone gave him this trouble.

Go talk to Carrie Benson.
Make a sketch of her abductors.

Who are these guys
that can just change the rules?

And trouble a Driscoll?

I'm ready to read that journal now.

Mrs. Nunis nearly ran over
Vince and Dave.

It -- it freaked me out.

Okay, so an emotional pressure
caused a physical pressure,

but then it stopped.

What -- what did you do?

I used a scuba breathing technique
I know.

It helps you stay calm at depth.

All right, try that again.

[inhaling and exhaling]

It's working.

Hey, good, it's working.
Keep going.

So as he calms down,
the pressure lessens.

And the worse he feels,
the more it grows.

Don't think I'm gonna move
too far away from this door.

Ah, it's all right. You've figured out
how to control it now.

It?

You mean my trouble.

You'll be okay.

Never in a million years.

At least they got me
and not my brother.

I'm not gonna have any kids,

so the curse dies with me.

Aiden's gonna be a father.

Aiden's gonna carry on
the family name.

We'd better find him,
make sure he's okay.

Get up.

There's no sleeping here.

[Sighs]

What am I doing here?

Oh, my God.

I was abducted last night.

- Yeah, yeah.
- Yeah, no.

Uh, my brother and I --
There was these two guys.

Let me guess, their names were
Jim Beam and Johnnie Walker.

Get moving now,
or I'll have you cited.

- You're not listening to me.
- No.

- You're not listening to me.
- Hey.

- Now I'm arresting you.
- Why?

No, look, I was abducted!

Come on, why?

-[ Grunts]
- You all right?

[Gasps]

[Cries]

What's happening?

All units, officer down
at Founders' Square.

Something's happening in the park.

Aah!

[Screams]

- Aiden?
- Jack!

Stop!

- Back up!
- Why?

Just do it!

Gotta move back.

[Cell phone rings]

Hey, hey, Jack, what's going on?

I'll explain, but I need you
to stand still, okay?

Okay.

Did two guys att*ck us last night?

- You were there!
- Listen.

These guys, they --
they gave us both a trouble.

What's happening here,
you're doing it.

What?

- My phone broke.
- Don't move! We'll save you!

[Grunts]

Jack!

We can't leave him like that.

It'll make him feel worse,
and the worse he feels,

the more the pressure bubble grows.

But we can't get near him either.

Is there some way
we could dive down to him?

You'd need a very special suit,
one that I don't have.

Until we figure something out,

he's as alone as he would be
at the bottom of the ocean.

Laverne, I need all available units
down to Founders' Square.

We've got a full-scale evacuation
to execute.

You got it, Nathan.

Come on, Duke.
Pick up.

You've reached Duke.
Leave a message.

Come on.

-[ Branches breaking]
-[ Gasps]

Blind spot my ass.

Laverne, we need to evacuate
the 300 block of Elm.

I think this thing's
almost at the church.

We're gonna need more manpower.

As this pressure bubble grows,

the area we need to evacuate
expands exponentially.

[ Distant expl*si*n ]

That's the firehouse.

The generator must have exploded
from the pressure.

The hospital,
that has a generator, too.

Yeah, a big one. If that thing goes,
we're gonna lose half the town.

There's only one solution.

We need Duke.

What for?

You know.

Duke has to k*ll me.

No, you can't start thinking
like that.

We already have four dead.

If that hospital goes,
we're talking a lot more than that.

What if Duke k*lling you
doesn't cure Aiden's trouble?

Of course it will.

That's how the Crocker curse works.

Yeah, but you and Aiden
got a new trouble

from guys
who can change the rules.

I'm not just thinking about Haven.
I'm thinking about Aiden's baby.

I'll take the risk.

I'll die to make sure
he's not troubled.

You come to Haven,

maybe not happy,
but normal at least.

And given the circumstances,

I'm moderately pleased to see you.

[Cell phone rings]

[Sighs]

[ Scoffs ]

You're the one living Crocker
I can halfway stand to be with...

But I know.

I have to get you out of Haven
so you can live.

I sacrifice,

like Jennifer said.

And yet here you are,

dead...

...and still in Haven.

See, that's the thing
about this town.

In Haven, you always lose.

So why even bother trying?

[Cell phone rings]

Damn it.
Nathan, stop calling me.

Duke, it's Jack.
We found Aidan.

Come talk to me.

No.

Look what's happening out there,
Duke, We can stop this.

I said, "no".

Hey, Duke, I don't love the idea,
but we --

Who are you to talk?

That man is willing to die
to end one trouble,

while you --

you decided that your life is worth
more than all of the troubles.

- So don't.
- Hey.

-[ Grunts ]
-[ Gasps ]

Your trouble's gone.

How?

We cleared the ambulatory patients,

but moving the bed-bound is going
to take more time than we have.

Well, do whatever it takes.

I don't want anyone near the hospital
when that generator blows.

This pressure bubble is
over 1/4 mile across now.

I thought it would have
some kind of natural ending point,

but it just keeps growing.

Bodies are gonna start piling up.

Or you could k*ll me.

No.

Hey, guys.

I've looked everywhere for Duke.

I can't believe he abandoned Haven.

Whatever cruel god
gave us the troubles,

they designed the Crocker curse
exactly for this situation.

Duke's not an option.

We need another solution.

We need a deep-sea pressure suit,
but I don't know where to find one.

I do.

Okay.

- Ready?
- Yeah.

Don't worry, I'll be operating
your suit from here.

- Where'd you get these?
- Ah, I know a guy.

- You sure they'll work?
- Hope so.

- I've never worn one.
- AUDREY: I went snorkeling once.

It's hard to move.

They're made for the bottom
of the ocean.

You should be getting
in the pressure zone now.

Yup.

Should we check on that guy?

At this pressure,
he's already dead.

We're in deep now.

Not funny.

Wuornos, this is topside.

I'm seeing turbulence in your air.

Check your line.

Wuornos, I lost your reading.

My line's leaking.

I can't breathe.

Get him out of there.

I'm pullin' him out.

-[ Groans]
- Come on, Nathan.

[Gasping I

I can't breathe.

I can'! take your helmet off, either.
So let's get out of here.

Audrey, go on.

- But Nathan --
- I can help Nathan.

You have to get Aiden to stop this.

Go.

Go! We don't have a lot of time.

NATHAN:
I can't breathe. I need air.

DUKE:
Come on, you can make it.

Come on, Nathan,
a little bit further

and we'll be outside
the pressure bubble.

[Coughing ]

I know you're chokin', buddy,

but you take that helmet off here
and you're dead.

Jack?

Aiden, I'm here to help.

How can you help?

- I'm doing this.
-It's true.

You have a trouble,
but you know what else you have?

You have a brother and a wife,

and they need you
to stop this trouble.

My friend is running out of air
right now.

So listen to me,
and I can help you.

10 more feet.
Come on.

I heard you and your wife,
you got some good news recently.

Come on, Nathan.
We're almost there.

We're gonna have a baby.

But what does that have to do
with this?

Well, that baby?

That baby needs you
to learn to control this.

I don't get it.
A Driscoll can't have a trouble.

Okay, Nathan,
we're outside the pressure.

Nathan!
Just hold on a few more seconds!

Some truths are hard to accept,
but we have to accept them,

or we hurt the people we love,

the ones who need us
to do it for them.

NATHAN: I can't breathe.

DUKE: Nathan, hang in there.

What do I have to do?

You have to focus and just
breathe slowly to calm yourself,

the same technique
you learned as a diver.

You can do it.

[ Exhales]

[ Gasps, coughs ]

Good.

It's working.

You did it.

[ Panting ]

[Sighs]
Yeah.

Your trouble's gone.

Did you k*ll Wade?

I didn't have a choice.

What you said before...

Do you really think
Audrey should k*ll me?

How I feel about Audrey...

[Sighs]

...it's complicated.

But no.

I was angry.

I mean, I'm selfish,
but I'm not that selfish.

That's funny.

In so many ways, you're
the least selfish person I know.

Funny, that's the second time
I've heard that today.

Who else said it?

Someone a lot cuter than you.

First, you tell me to pack up
and move out

when you get
your precious bilge pump.

And then you call me,
"Bring your things back.“

God, make up your mind,
businessman.

Hi.
[ Clears throat]

NATHAN:
I can't stop thinking about it.

It's like you said to Aiden...

some truths are hard to accept,
but people need us to do it for them.

Haven needs us to do this.

I can't believe
we're actually talking about this.

Jack Driscoll wanted to sacrifice
himself to end one trouble.

My death ends 'em all.

How can we walk away
from something like that?

Especially now
that someone's altering the rules,

putting troubles in families
that never had them.

You know what that means, right?

It means it's getting worse.

Then how lucky are we

that we can make
everything better“.

...with one b*llet?

You're supposed to help people
with their troubles.

You're meant to do it karmically,
remember?

What better way
than to cure them all forever?

Mind if I bring your stuff back?

Thank you.

I'm an idiot.

What's all this?

It belonged
to my biological parents.

I went to their old house,

but it turns out they moved away
a long time ago.

The new owner gave me the stuff
they left in the attic-.

[Laughs]

- Old family treasures?
-[ Laughs]

No. Just old junk.

Jennifer?

- Jennifer.
- Oh, my God.

[Clears throat]

No, no, no, no, no.

Come on in, you're not
interrupting anything.

Sorry, Duke.
Did you find your parents?

Oh, don't start with that, Dave.

Start with,
"Sorry we abandoned you.“

You've just had a big day.

Sorry we got sidetracked.

Oh, Dave got you to read
whatever that is.

This is the handwritten journal
of the explorer Sebastian Cabot,

who spent the winter here in 1497
with the local Mi'kmaq Indians.

Yeah --
Oh, it's a fascinating account.

DUKE: I'm sure it is.
Get out.

Much of what he writes is accurate

to the troubles
as we know them today.

Cabot records
an ancient Mi'kmaq legend,

a time they considered the blackest
in their long history.

A time of great evil and suffering

that started when someone opened
an otherworldly door

that shouldn't have been opened.

The door that Lexie came through.

- You tried to stop it.
- Yeah.

And you thought
that when the Driscolls got troubled,

that this evil had come back.

I did, but for once,
I can say I'm thrilled to be wrong.

Well, mark your calendar.

How do you know you're wrong?

According to the legend,
the great evil

has specific harbingers
we haven't seen...

Mm.

Horseshoe crabs with human eyes.

[ Both laugh ]

Um...

I've seen them.

What?

Think of how many people
d*ed today.

Jill Nunis was married to Roger
for 20 years.

They loved each other,

just like us.

How can I go on living
when that's the cost?

Nathan's not picking up.

Yeah, I can't reach Lexie either.

Those crabs confirm the soft spot
has been ripped open.

The great evil is at hand.

An agony unlike we've ever known

is about to arrive here in Haven.

Okay, look,
let's just calm down and think-.

We need to tell Lexie and Nathan.

Maybe Lexie learned something
in the barn about this great evil

before she stepped
through that door.

Could be she knows something
she doesn't even know

she knows, you know?

Does that make sense?

Believe it or not, yes.

Then there's Duke.

He had to k*ll Wade,
his brother, because --

because the troubles haven't ended,
because you haven't k*lled me.

And his pain...

...the pain of everyone in this town,
it's on us.

Maybe you can see it
the way I do?

This is the most loving thing
we could possibly do.

[Sighs]

[Sighs]

I love you.

[Sighs]

Well, that's all it says.

Great suffering, agony, evil.

- But what kind?
-It doesn't specify.

Well, does it specify
something we can do about it?

A solution to suffering
beyond imagining

would be, you know, useful.

Well, the Mi'kmaq
only gave Cabot a riddle.

Now hang on,
let's see if I can find it.

"What was once your salvation
is now your doom.”

That's it?

Salvation is our doom?

What do we think's our salvation?

We think Nathan dying
will end the troubles.

That's our salvation.

But if this riddle is right,
then Audrey can't k*ll him now.

I agree.
She'd better not.

Wait a minute.

Why did you call her Audrey?

[Laughs]

[g*nsh*t]
