01x04 - Run Along Little Lamb

Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on Revival.

So, what's your story, Dead Girl?

- A ring?
- Your ring.

I woke up and I threw this up.

That's not mine.

This is May Tao following up
on the strange occurrences

that shook the citizens
of Wausau last night.

- Can I call you sometime?
- Okay.

- Did you hear it?
- There's something out there.

You happy now, Wayne?

Locking up the people
you're supposed to protect.

Oh, what you looking up
the Check Brothers for?

- I'll take the deal.
- Tell me my family's safe.

Who's ready for a holy w*r?

Everyone was really sad when you died.

- What do all of these mean?
- I don't know.

I want to find out what happened to you.

And I can.

Aaron?

That you?

You know, maybe let's just go.

What if those brothers
or the guy you saw on the bridge

come after you again?
We could use your sister's help.

Who's Lip Ring?

Dana, I have to tell you something.

All right.

Em, why didn't you tell me

you were sleeping with your professor?

Yeah...

Because I wasn't.
Where-where...?

Look what Nella found.

- You went through my phone.
- Yeah.

I'm a detective. I was detecting.

I thought you were trying
to find out who m*rder*d me.

Not completely violate my privacy.

Em, you know the main
suspect is always the ex.

- He wasn't my ex!
- He was just a fling.

- None of my business.
- You do you, babe.

- Since when do you have flings?
- Is he a fling?

No, I'm Rhodey.

Rhodey?

Uh-uh.

I remember something.

There was somebody
on the bridge that night.

He spoke to me.

- Can you remember who?
- Can you, can you describe him?

He was the same guy on the news,

the same guy who torched Arlene.

Blaine Abel?

You're telling me Blaine Abel

was on the bridge
the night that you died?

Okay, well, that's where I'm headed.

That's where I'm going, too!

No!

It's too dangerous.

I can't just sit here and do nothing.

Em, one of us is a police officer

and one of us is 20. Okay?

Cooper'll be home from
school in a few hours.

Just stay here.

It'll make him so happy to see you.

Don't fling my sister.

Cool. Does that mean I get to
hang out with your nephew?

No.

We're following her.

I, uh, need to speak to Mr. Abel.

Yeah, well, this is private property

so you better run off and get a warrant.

That's cute. It's a real
good repartee you got going.

What's repartee?

A smart or wise comment,
which is why you don't know it.

What the hell are you doing here?

I told you to stay put.

You can't tell me what to do, Dad.

- It's okay, gentlemen.
- g*ns down.

There's nothing to fear from the law.

The Lord will judge her, as all mankind.

If he deems her unworthy,
then he will smite her down.

Sounds painful.

Where were you on the
night of December 18th?

We all know where we
were on December 18th.

I saw you on the bridge
by Bull Falls that night.

I was called to tow a vehicle off

Lester Majak's property.

A car had been left in
the woods near the falls.

- So why were you on the bridge?
- Hey, hey, jeez. Quiet.

Why were you on the bridge?

I was looking for the vehicle.

So you responded to a call,
you drove to Bull Falls,

got out of your truck and...

you went on foot
to look for the vehicle?

That is what I said.

- What did you do to me?
- Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Do you remember seeing her
on the bridge that night?

Yeah. No, I saw her.

Well, did you find it weird
to see someone like this

on the bridge that night,
in the dark, in the cold?

No, I didn't because
she was high. Right?

I could see it in those eyes.

And then what happened?

I left.

I found the car around the bend,

I hitched it up and took
it back to the garage.

- Which lot?
- Alonzo's, on 12th.

What time did you bring it
back to Alonzo's?

Whoo.

Did you see or speak to her again?

No. There was something
like an expl*si*n.

You saw it.

What are you talking about?

The light!

Happened deep in the woods.

Lit up the night sky in a flash.

You were right there.
You must have seen it.

- All right.
- Personal space, man.

- Okay. Thank you, Mr. Abel.
- That'll be all.

You run along, little lamb.

The end of days are near.

No, no, no, no. Not now.

Soon,

but not now.

Do you know what he was talking about?

Some light?

No, I don't.

I don't remember anything like that.

What's the next step?
Do we get a warrant?

- Are you kidding?
- No! There's no we.

He knows something!
Come on, you don't really believe

that tow truck excuse, do you?
He was there!

Em, if Blaine had something
to do with what happened to you,

then there are steps to this

and I, and I can't mess this up.

Do you understand?
I need to do this right.

I need to make sure I can
put him away for good.

I get it.

And I trust you. You'll get him.

I know it.

Guy's spooky.

with the county office.

Non-registry will result in
severe penalties,

including incarceration.

Please be aware that
the sheriff's office may come

to your home or place of business

to ensure cooperation.

If you suspect someone
of being a Reviver,

please alert the authorities
immediately.

I have to let Dana do this

and do it right.

When she first became a cop
she was on the Blackdeer case.

The guy that k*lled his daughter?

Jesus! Dana!

You knock just like...

Dad?

What are you doing here?

- What am I doing here?
- I'm with my friend. What are...

What are you doing here?

I'm alerting all registered Revivers

about the new mandate.

You're dating one of them?

His name's Rhodey.

Oh. I'm going to need to see your ID.

- What? Why?
- Because all Revivers

need to have their IDs stamped.

I'm not going to ask you a second time.

Uh...

Since when do Revivers
need to carry this around?

Governor's orders.

Hm.

Are you going to be at
your appointment tomorrow?

What appointment?

This is why you need to stop
ignoring my phone calls.

I left you a voicemail, too.

Okay, I'm sorry, Dad,

but why do I have to
go to an appointment?

Because, Martha, you broke
that woman's nose at Nella's.

You're damn lucky that she
didn't seriously injure you.

Yeah, but she didn't.

Yeah, but she did charge you
with as*ault. Okay?

You're lucky your father's the sheriff

and I do have some influence.

Had your punishment reduced;


and the first session
is tomorrow at 9:30,

so do not be late.

Light a candle, dude.

- Bro.
- Your family is intense.

I kind of think Sheriff Dad
could use some of that

anger management therapy himself.

♪ Oh, baby, I'll never let you go ♪

- Marshmallow?
- ♪ Oh, baby ♪

Flip.
♪ Only me ♪

Did you hear that?

♪ ...me, baby, I love you ♪

What was that?

I don't know.

Thanks for letting me
stop by on short notice.

- No problem.
- How's the coffee?

Uh, it's good.

Thanks.

So, what brings you by?

Uh, actually, I am, uh,
running into a bit of a problem.

Um, I can't seem to get anywhere
with your sheriff father

and, uh, I'm out of ideas,

so I was wondering if maybe you could...

- You're looking...
- You're looking for advice

from me on how to get along
with Wayne Cypress?

- Well, you're his daughter.
- Aw.

- Thought maybe you could...
- Well, whatever it is,

you're better off talking to JP.
He's the reasonable one.

Well, unfortunately, it's the sheriff

who's got Governor Harris' ear
and not JP, so, yeah.

And the CDC has its own jurisdiction,

but somehow I feel like I got,
uh, red-taped into a corner.

All right, well, listen,
my dad's pretty simple.

I mean, he's not easy to deal with,

but he's simple.

He just wants to feel like
he's being helpful.

Yeah.

Helpful.

Treating Revivers like
second-class citizens

is helpful?
Marking their IDs is helpful?

Threatening them
with jail time is helpful?

Yeah, I'm sorry.
I know, I know he's your father,

but I just, I feel like that's
just a bit ridiculous.

- No, don't apologize.
- That was hot.

I get it.

But in his mind that's being helpful.

I don't know what you're
up against, but I've never once

successfully got Wayne Cypress
to change his mind, so...

best of luck.

God.

Listen, just let me deal with
the kids and I'll be right back.

- Yep. You gotta do your thing.
- Okay.

He's a scientist who invented
the anti-matter ray.

It would definitely
work on the thing in the woods.

- All right, guys.
- I let you stay up late

in that tent. Time for bed.

Brush your teeth?

Yes, Mom.

Let me smell.

Very good.

Jordan, are you going to be comfortable?

- Can I get you anything?
- I'm okay.

I don't really sleep anymore.

It freaked my parents out
so I just pretend.

Well, you don't have to pretend here.

And I'm sorry if anyone
made you feel like

you can't be yourself.

Well, what if they're right?

I feel like there's
something missing in me.

No.

There is nothing wrong with you.

You're special and you are so brave.

And if anyone doesn't
think that you are perfect,

then that's their problem, not yours.

Right, Coop?

Yeah.

You, sir, do need to get some sleep.

You have to make sure
he gets some sleep!

- Yeah.
- Thank you.

Hey, um...

Can I, um, can I buy
you dinner tomorrow?

Uh, yeah, just give me a minute.

I'll only be a minute.

What... Diane.

Did Ken send you here?

So only the mayor can speak to

the almighty sheriff of Wausau?

- Ken doesn't know I'm here.
- What is it, Di?

I don't know how else to say this, so,

I'm a Reviver, Wayne.

I'm so sorry.

I didn't know.

How did it happen? When?

Oh my God. Diane, you didn't...?

And now you know, so, um...

so maybe we can
keep my registry off the books?

Oh, yeah, um...

I can't just pick and choose who...

Will you help me or not?

Look, I have an obligation to the town.

I have to keep everyone safe.

Safe from me?

All I'm asking is for
you to be a friend.

Just like I was to you
when you lost Patty.

That's not fair, Diane.

We stepped up for you, Wayne.

We looked after your girls
and your house!

Don't act like Ken didn't look
the other way during that time.

And we did it happily
because you needed help.

I need help now, Wayne.

Please.

I'm sorry.

Oh my God.

Hello, Martha. Come in.

ur?

Is there anything
that you feel like discussing?

Honestly, Martha, I'm not
about forcing a dialogue.

If you want to leave,
I'll sign your court forms

and I won't stop you.

How do you think being a Reviver

has impacted your emotions?

Aaron... Dr. Weimar...
is my husband and he told me.

Your secret is safe with me.

He just wanted to help.

Does...

doctor-patient confidentiality cover...

this?

It does.

I have other clients
who are also Revivers.

But Martha, I also think that
you could use some help.

Perhaps your recent violent outburst

is tied to the fact that you

went through the greatest trauma
anyone can experience.

You died.

Now do you remember what happened

the night of Revival Day?

- Bits and pieces. I was high.
- I was high a lot back then.

People in pain self-medicate.

Were you self-medicating?

I guess you could call it that.

I lost my mom.

And it was an awful accident
and it might have...

been my fault and I-I got hurt and I...

I went there that night...

on her birthday and I just,
I had to get high

to get through it.

And what were you doing
that you needed to be high for?

I don't know.

Saying goodbye?

You were in a very vulnerable place.

I'm sure that there were
a lot of choices

that felt logical in that moment...

- Yeah, I know.
- My sister thinks I...

k*lled myself or OD'd, but I don't...

I don't know. I'm really...

starting to think that someone hurt me.

So your sister knows
that you're a Reviver?

Who else knows?

With these new mandates
you need to be...

No, I know.

It's a secret and I'd...

really like to keep it that way.
My dad doesn't even know.

Well, that sounds like something.

Why not tell your dad?

I think...

After losing my mom

I just don't know if he could handle it.

Besides, you've seen how
he's reacted to the whole town

and he's always seen me as fragile

and I don't know if knowing I died

would make that worse somehow.

Sorry, I just find it
surprising that anyone

would see you as fragile.

To be fair,

I have a condition called O.I.

Brittle bone disease, so they always

had to be careful with me.

We do a lot to protect our loved ones.

But I don't think that
we acknowledge enough

that it hurts when an illness

changes our relationship with them.

How they see us as weak,

even if it's from a lens of love.

I'm, I'm sorry.

My mom had cancer too.

Oh.

Well, then she must have been
a very strong woman.

That's right, Blaine dropped it off

around 10 p.m. '99 Accord.

Okay, who rented the car that night?

Let's take a look.

You don't keep your records
on a computer?

My daughter, she tried to get me

one of those Macintoshes.

I told her, throw them all away.

IBM, Dell... doesn't matter.
They all emit, uh, radio waves.

- You know what that is?
- Do you know what that is?

- Gives you tumors.
- Sure.

- Gotta take care of the brain.
- It's why I do a crossword

every day. Ah!

James Anderson. Paid $75 cash.

I kept the deposit
because he dumped it instead of

- bringing it back.
- Where's the driver's license?

He ain't got one.

You rented a car to a guy
without a driver's license?

No ID, no credit check.

I ask no questions, you get a car.

And I pay a little more
on my girl's student loan.

- k*lling me, Alonzo.
- Can I see the car?

Yeah. For sure.

There you go.

You're so nice, but you're so stupid.

Thanks.

Nobody has ever given me
a massage before.

Like that? Like, are you sure?

It's okay?

Yeah.

I can still press a little harder.

- Okay, try harder.
- Okay.

Em, um, we don't have to.

We can just chill or whatever.

You're not gonna break me.

- Are you all right?
- Did I hurt you?

- No, Rhodey, I...
- I remember on the bridge,

someone grabbed me.
They put a cloth over my face

and I felt woozy
and they knocked me out.

- Blaine?
- No.

No, he left in his truck
and this guy's hands were clean.

There were no scars,
no tattoos but he...

He was wearing...

This!

Knew I wasn't crazy.

The morning I woke up, I threw this up.

This is my k*ller's ring.

But do not be fooled.

The dead do not return without cost.

Their presence is a test

and most have already failed.

I have seen the truth
beneath their skin.

And I say to you now lock your doors.

Guard your souls for the Deceiver

is within the gates of Wausau.

Good! And down.

Excellent, Wanda! Excellent!

Wanda's our living inspiration
that even death

is no excuse to skip cardio.

Good class, everyone.

Old age only begins

when you look backward
rather than forward!

See you next week!

It's one of them.

Just let me go.

Where? Back to Hell?

Thank you.

The wrath is coming!

It's really any patient
who would've registered

past 6:47 pm on the 18th.

- I have David Kreutz at 6:48.
- 6:50, Olivia Yazden...

What about a James Anderson or...

Weimar?

- Oh, yes.
- Nithiya Weimar at 6:51.

Was her husband with her?

Um, yes, her husband's always with her.

So, could you see what
time they left that night?

Oh, I don't have an exact time.

Her chemotherapy is usually
scheduled for five hours,

so they probably left
close to 12 midnight or so.

So if Nithiya was here 'til 12

but the car was dropped off at ten...

He left.

He's using the chemo sessions
as an alibi.

Sorry, an alibi for what?

Did something happen to the Weimars?

Not yet.

- This is Professor Weimar.
- Leave a message.

Mr. Weimar, this is
Officer Dana Cypress again.

I just came from your office.
They said you were at home.

Now, let me guess,
you're back at the office?

You need to call me back, ASAP.

We're closing up.

Why don't you try Donaldson's
on Seventh?

We've been. You're literally
the last pawn shop we're trying.

ID.

Uh, sh**t, you know, I, uh...

I forgot mine at home.

Here.

- What can I get you?
- Do you sell rings here?

Do I sell rings?

I sell everything here, hon.

Sold anything...

...like this recently?

- Uh-huh.
- Normally you'd be SOL,

but with this quarantine,
I've only had the one buyer.

Who'd you sell it to?

Now, look, I wasn't officially open

during the 30-day lockdown,
you understand?

I don't need Dillisch siccing
the business lobby on me.

Come on, man, do we,
do we look like feds?

Had this gentleman email me
saying he needed to replace

his wife's wedding ring.

Told him I couldn't order one in
'cause of the quarantine

but he was desperate.
Didn't want his wife to find out

he lost it. Offered to pay me double.

In cash.

I got one adjusted
from what I had in stock.

Do you remember
what he looks like, or his name?

Never met him.

Left an envelope of cash
in the store mailbox.

That's where I dropped off
the ring when it was done.

I do have his email, though.
One second.

James dot Anderson at UWMC dot com.

- James Anderson.
- Who the hell is James Anderson?

Wait, that...

That's Aaron's TA.

That as*h*le lied to me.

I got to go speak to him.

- Okay. Wait.
- What are you going to do?

I need to get him alone.

- Em, how?
- I'll follow him.

sh*t, sh*t, sh*t!

I've had enough of this.

I know it was you!

Yeah, or someone you've paid.
What's the difference?

He was in the house with my wife.

This is going beyond crossing a line.

Well, I kept up my end of the deal!

I didn't tell anyone.

Of course not.
Nithiya doesn't suspect a thing.

Don't forget,

I can take you down with me.

Go to bed.

No. Tell me what's going on.

Why was that officer at our house?

Look, it's not good,
but I'm taking care of it.

The last thing I wanted
was for you to worry.

What do you mean you're
taking care of it, Aaron?

I'm taking care of it! Just...

Go to bed.

Please!

At the first morning birth,

there are no shadows
in the lightness night.

And the prey rejoices
as the K*llers retreat.

I envy the sleepers,

the never were

And the long dead,

...denied this moment.

Each dawn's a question,
the same without you.

Why does the night end

and bring the mourning?

Em, I don't think
this is such a good idea.

Huh.

It's the best idea I've ever had.

Maybe we just stay back
and think things through.

No.

I'm done playing it safe.
You with me or not?

Um...

I don't need you.

I don't need anyone.

Oh, hey.

Huh. Is, um...

Is your mom ready?

She's freaking out.

- I am not freaking out!
- I just couldn't find

my other earring.

You, um...

You look stunning.

You look nice.

Yuck.

Hey. Told the babysitter
no video games past nine!

I know, Mom.

- You're still staring.
- Is this good staring

- or bad staring?
- Oh, no. No, no, no.

Um, just, uh, don't
take this the wrong way,

but part of me thought
when I showed up that

you would still be in uniform.

Well, I always try to make an effort

when someone's buying me a lobster.

Buying a lobster.

Uh, who said anything about lobster?

I was thinking the Lick-a-Chicken

down the-the road.

It's Tony.

Hey, brother.

Got news.

Boss is thrilled with
the new business opportunity

in Wausau and he wants us
to help him run it.

Yeah? Check Kings, baby.

Shut the hell up, Andrew.

There's a problem, though.
I talked you boys up enough but

ain't no way in hell you're
running this operation,

so you need to get me
back over the border.

You still play poker with
that piece of sh*t Irish cop?

- Yeah, he's around.
- Good. Good. Overpay.

Get him back on the line.

That'll get me back in there.
And this is important:

You want Ma to die in that
termite-infested sh*thole?

'Cause I'd like to see her
in a real house,

one with a painting studio.

For God's sakes, hurry up!

Excuse me.

I'm done waiting.

What is with the hostility, brother?

It's an emergency.

Oh. It's an emergency?

- Yeah, hang on.
- Ah!

Give Mom my love.

You're going to make sure my wife is

taken care of, then we're even.

Yeah, well, screw me over
and you'll go down with me.

Turn left. Turn left up there.

Yeah, but the GPS says
to take a right ahead.

GPS doesn't know what I know.

It knows exponentially more.

- It does not.
- Save the insults for tonight.

Come on.

Whoop, whoop.

Uh, go straight, actually. Go straight.

- But the GPS says that...
- Oh, this?

- Oh, whoa.
- We don't know what it says.

- Okay
- Yeah.

- This is more interesting.
- Okay.

- Where the hell are we going?
- Just...

Found you.

What the hell!?

Have you been following me?
What are you doing?

Who me?

This is about what you did!

- Look, I already...
- YOU'RE A LIAR!

I know what you did
and you're not going to talk

your way out of it this time!

This is a really bad time.

Yeah, it's always a bad time, Aaron!

I found this in me, so tell me

what the hell you did to me,
you sick freak.

Look...

Look, I'm sorry.
I-I-I didn't mean to hurt you.

You?

You k*lled me.

Right there?

- Yeah.
- All right.

You sure about this?
This is pretty spooky, Dana.

Um... Ah

Okay, so, like in the car
is like a thing for you?

I can, um, I can be into that for sure.

Oh, gross miscalculation on my part.

Why would you bring a g*n on a date?

Just wait for me.

Be right back.

You don't understand.

I didn't k*ll you.

You're right, I was there.
I took you from the bridge,

but I didn't k*ll you.

I'm sorry.

You were special and I'm...

Aaron?

Aaron!?

Oh, sh*t.

Aaron?

Em.

What did you do?

Uh, Dana?

Oh, Dana!

Dana. It's okay

SOMEBODY HELP!

HELP! SOMEBODY HELP!

Hey. Look, it's okay.

You're going to be okay.
It's okay. I'm with you.

Dana. Dana?


Please.
