01x09 - They Come Knocking

Post by bunniefuu »

Get the f*ck off me.

How do you know that there's no way to save her?

You're not God!

Nathan!

You're just the one who's k*lling her!

There's these weird things called human beings and we get hungry at lunch time.

Here, this sh*thole?

Yeah, no thanks, I'll sit this one out.

Dad said be inside in five minutes.

Hey, close the door!

How nice is this?

Three of us on the open road.

There's three of us?

Be nice.

Dad, she hates us.

She does not hate us.

She's just a teenager.

Kind of goes with the territory.

You'll understand one day when you're her age.

k*ll me if I ever get that moody.

I swear you two couldn't be more different, and yet you're both just like your mama.

She would have loved this.

Dad?

Huh?

I don't want you to die.

Hey.

I'm not going anywhere.

What if something bad happens?

Nothing bad is gonna happen.

I promise.

Pinky swear?

Come on.

Would you like me to top it off?

Be quiet.

Psychic powers require maximum focus.

You're holding up...

Three fingers!

Wrong.

- You cheated!

- You cheated!

You had three fingers and you put one down.

How do you know that?

That means you were peeking through the fingers then.

I was not peeking through my fingers.

- Then how did you know?

- You switched it.

How do you know, are you psychic?

So you're saying that you're actually a psychic.

Maybe I am, maybe I am.

All right, then I need to know who's gonna win the game this weekend.

- Here you go, honey.

- Thank you.

- Thank you so much.

- Mm-hm.

You sure you don't want anything?

- Nope.

- Want some pancakes?

Nope, I'm not hungry.

You feel okay?

Yup.

You gonna have any pancake with your syrup, or you're just...

gonna go straight liquid?

Don't judge me.

I like syrup.

Do you just want me to take the lid off so you can just pour it all directly straight on there?

Might be easier.

What?

Uh, are you afraid someone's gonna steal it?

Why, does it bother you, Sissy?

Firstly, Nathan, can you not call me "Sissy" because I'm not seven.

Can't you call him "Dad" even on Father's Day?

Hey, you remembered!

All right, what'd you get me?

A super big hug.

Get out of here.

- You want a hug?

- Oh my God.

You...

oh...

no!

You guys are so weird.

Happy Father's Day.

- Oh, thank you.

- Uh huh.

Look at that.

A little Father's Day milkshake.

As you can see, we have a wide range of receptacles.

What do you think, girls?

They're ugly.

I don't think she'd have liked any of them.

Is there a particular color that she was fond of?

She always loved a good red.

Miss?

Keep the change.

Hm.

Hey!

Why don't you ride up front with us?

I like it back here.

Isn't it bumpy?

Did you get my marshmallows?

It's quiet.

But it's not that safe.

Thank you so much for your understanding.

I don't think it's legal.

We'll try not to hit any potholes!

Cut it out!

So this is the...

the spot.

It's really something, isn't it?

There's no service.

Are you gonna tell us the story?

So, 17 years ago, when I met your mama, we took a road trip following the same path we're on now.

Same gas station, same diner.

Did Mom have the pancakes?

You know she had the pancakes.

See, we didn't know where we were goin', and that was kind of the idea.

We just wanted to be on the open road, total freedom.

So we stopped here.

We drank a bottle of wine together.

And then I walked Mom...

right there where Claire's standing...

I didn't have a ring or anything, but...

I asked her to marry me.

So, no, there wasn't anything special about this place.

But there is now.

And this is where we'll lay her to rest.

Yeah, about a year late.

All right.

Let's get unpacked.

Mags, why don't you grab your jacket since it's gettin' a little chilly?

Grab mine too, would you?

Hi baby.

I'm not gonna be back from work till after six, so can you please make Maggie some dinner?

There's pasta in the fridge.

All you have to do is literally just heat it up.

Um, I will be back for bedtime.

Dad'll be home, but you know what his cooking is like.

And...

I'm sorry about last night.

That was a stupid fight.

I know you love me.

And I love you.

Okay, I gotta go.

I love you, sweetheart.

Hurry up, you've been in there an hour!

One second, Maggot!

Oh, f*ck.

Hello?

Hey Mom.

We made it to you and Dad's favorite spot.

Miss you.

- Hi.

- Hey.

You okay?

I'm good.

Help me make dinner?

Sure, in a second.

Okay.

Are you in a movie?

Uh huh.

Are you a woman?

No.

Wait.

No.

Are you human?

Nope.

Are you a robot?

Yes.

Is your best friend a robot?

Maybe.

Does your best friend boss you around?

- Yep.

- Oh my God.

Just say it already!

Are you...

Dad wins once again!

Shocker...

Boom!

Ah, you're just bitter 'cause you're on your period.

All right.

Oh God, I don't know how you and Mom could stand it out here.

It's freezing and it's June.

Well...

We had each other and we snuggled.

- Ew!

- Ew!

- Hey Dad?

- Hm?

Can I smell your beer?

Can you smell my beer?

Mm-hm.

Don't get excited, I'm just curious.

Ew!

It smells like Claire.

Shut up, Maggot.

Hey Sissy?

Nathan?

What you writing?

Probably a letter to her stupid boyfriend.

Were you put on this earth to make me wanna k*ll myself?

If I was, would you do it?

Isn't it past your bedtime?

I don't have a bedtime.

Isn't it past your bedtime?

Yeah, you do, No, 'cause I don't have one.

I don't have a bedtime.

Yes you do!

- Yes...

no I don't!

- Don't!

I don't have a bedtime, you admit it!

So this boy.

Is he special?

To me he is, yeah.

Then why haven't we met him?

Because I want him to like me.

Ouch.

What?

My lips are dry and I don't have any chapstick.

Your mom and her lipstick.

I don't know if you remember.

You were little.

But you used to sit with your mom, both of you plopped down in front of the mirror, and you guys would put on your makeup together.

Yeah, I remember.

Mom looked so beautiful.

And...

I looked like a clown.

Cute clown.

Mom was gorgeous.

Yes, she was.

Claire!

Sissy.

Get the f*ck off me.

I didn't want to let her go, Claire.

You have to know that.

I don't wanna talk about this.

How do you know that there's no way to save her?

- How do you know that?

- It was the hardest decision I've ever had to make knowing that you two girls...

I said that I don't want to talk about this.

You're not God, Nathan!

You're just the one who's k*lling her!

Claire.

We have to talk about it.

She was in so much pain, honey.

That's not what this trip is about.

I just want you to..

Sweetheart, don't go inside.

Hey Claire.

Claire!

I don't know how to fix this, Val.

Sissy?

What are you doing?

Honey?

Hey, you okay?

Hey, shh, it's okay.

Come on, let's lie down.

You're okay.

Come on.

What is it, honey?

- There's somebody...

- There's someone on the roof!

- What?

- I saw someone.

I saw someone just...

Just now on the...

What?

Baby, nobody can get up there.

What...

Dad?

- What is that?

- I don't know.

Come over and sit down next to your sissy.

Hello?

We've got a g*n in here.

Please let us in.

Who's out there?

Dad?

It's okay, honey, all right?

Jesus.

Please will you open the door?

What's the problem?

We want to show you something.

They look really weird.

Don't.

What if they really need help?

Shut up, Maggie!

Don't...

don't open it.

I saw her at the gas station.

I think that she followed us.

That was like 50 miles back!

Listen, um...

We can't let you in.

You know, it's late.

If you guys need a phone, uh, you might want to make your way up to the highway.

We'll make you come out eventually.

That's not gonna happen.

You don't know that.

It's just kids.

Shut up, you little...

- Hey, Claire!

- What?

You dragged us all the way out here, and now we're stuck in the middle of nowhere with who knows what outside.

Just so you know, nobody wanted to go on this trip.

Claire, this trip was for Mom.

Right, well, guess what?

Mom's dead.

Mags...

real nice.

Hey Mags.

Honey.

What are you doing?

I'm gonna go make sure they're gone.

- Don't go...

- Why don't you go back there and apologize to your sister?

Maggie, can you come out?

Maggie...

Go away!

Hey!

Maggie, I'm sorry.

Maggie.

Think they're gone.

I'm sorry.

All right, guys.

Hopefully we scared 'em off.

Let's go back to bed.

There?

No.

No way.

Do you want to take the bunk?

What about you?

I am gonna keep watch.

In case those punks come knocking again.

We'll give 'em a mouthful of teeth.

Get some rest.

Tomorrow's a big day, okay?

All right.

Hey, Claire.

Shh.

Come on.

It's okay, come on.

The kids?

Who else?

- f*ck!

- Watch your mouth.

All right.

Highway's just a few miles back.

Soon as I get reception I'll call for help or I'll flag somebody down.

You're leaving us here?

Mags can't make that hike.

And don't tell her about the truck.

Hopefully I'll be back before she wakes up.

Hey.

I need you to stay here with your sister.

What if they come back?

You're gonna get in that trailer and you're gonna lock the door and you're gonna stay in there till I get back.

Okay?

One, one, one, one, one.

Okay.

All right, you guys just stay in the trailer.

I'll be back before breakfast, okay?

Uh, hey?

Uh...

What is it?

Um, it's, uh, nothing.

- You sure?

- Yeah.

Okay.

What are you doin'?

None of your business.

Telling your boyfriend you can't live without him?

What do you want?

Where's Dad?

Uh, he went for a hike.

He said he'll be back for breakfast.

Well, I'm hungry now.

And why didn't he wake me up?

I would have gone with him.

He said that he wanted you to stay here, and he's the boss, so..

Something's going on you're not telling me.

I'm not a kid.

Yes, you are...

a kid.

Okay, do you want to try him on the walkie?

Yeah.

Just...

Dad, do you read?

Over.

It's Maggie.

Try saying "over" again.

It's Maggie.

Over.

Why isn't he answering?

You there?

Over.

Uh, he must be out of range.

You don't know that.

What if he got lost?

Or fell?

Or got bit by a snake?

Did you know rattlesnakes can strike up to three meters in under one second?

- Maggie...

- That's way faster than Dad can even move.

Maggie, it...

It'll be fine, okay?

Just go and get dressed.

Nathan, you there?

Still worried?

What do you think?

He'll be back soon.

Can I play?

It's not a toy.

No figure of Mom, huh?

It's really nice.

You think so?

Do you keep it with you all the time?

Yeah, so?

I think that's really smart.

That way Mom can always look out for you.

Want to help me make a dog house for the yard?

We don't have a dog.

No, but a girl can dream.

Okay.

Made the dog's face so far.

The dog's blue.

- Yeah.

- Okay.

Hello?

Hello?

Maggie, getting hungry?

Maggie?

Maggie?

Maggie?

Maggie?

Maggie, where are you?

Maggie?

sh*t.

Maggie, this isn't funny.

Maggie?

f*ck.

Maggie?

Maggie?

Maggie?

Hello?

Hey!

Maggie?

Maggie?

Who's out there?

Please let us in.

We've got a g*n in here.

Please will you open the door?

That's not gonna happen.

We'll make you come out eventually.

Claire?

Claire?

Claire, do you hear me?

Nathan!

Claire!

Claire!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Hey, come here, come here.

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.

There's something in there.

There's something in there.

It looked like it was Mom, and...

I think I'm going crazy.

I think I'm going crazy.

I was...

I was just...

I was looking for Maggie, - because she...

- Maggie?

- She left the...

- Where's Maggie?

- She left the trailer and I...

- Where's Maggie, Claire?

I don't know, I mean, I don't know, she...

What do you mean you don't know?

Maggie!

Maggie, baby!

Maggie!

- Maggie?

- Dad.

Where the f*ck were you?

Stop cussing.

Come here, come here.

- Hey.

- I thought I heard you outside and I went out there.

And I lost one of my figures.

Listen, you cannot leave this trailer.

When I'm gone, Claire's in charge.

Do you understand?

Here's your doll.

You said you'd never leave me, you promised.

Maggie, I was coming back.

I was just trying to go find signal.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Listen, you cannot leave this trailer unless you're with me.

That goes for both of you.

What do we do now?

We can't leave.

Truck won't start.

So, we'll stay here tonight.

And then tomorrow morning, all of us will hike up to the road.

What about saying goodbye to Mom?

She's gonna have to wait.


When I went on the hike earlier today, I found a trailer and there was a dead man inside of it.

What happened to him?

He, uh, he k*lled himself.

But I think those kids made him do it.

It's like they were daring him to go outside.

What do they want?

I don't know.

What made you go to the junkyard?

Maggie was missing and I heard her voice up there.

I found her doll.

I don't understand what's going on.

I think they're trying to lure us out.

If they come knocking again tonight, you two do not leave this trailer.

No matter what.

What you workin' on?

A party.

Oh yeah?

What kind of party?

A welcome home party for Mom.

What do we have here?

Oh, yeah, she'd love that.

Are they the lights?

Mm-hm.

It's pink, I thought she would like it.

Do you think these are too sparkly?

Is there a such thing as too sparkly?

And it's a surprise, so don't say anything.

Oh.

It's almost bed time.

Can we clean this up and finish tomorrow?

Okay.

Grab Maggie, go to the bathroom, stay there.

Dad?

Hey.

You go back with your sister, and I'll be right back, okay?

Promise?

Promise.

Lock the door.

Okay, come on.

Is Dad okay?

We've got a g*n!

If you guys don't quit messing around, somebody's gonna get k*lled.

Will you play with me?

Ow.

Ow.

You hurt me.

Hey...

What's taking him so long?

Okay.

Just let me in.

No!

Claire.

Claire, can you hear me?

Claire, can you hear me?

Claire?

Yeah, yeah, we're here.

Are you guys okay?

Kind of, yeah.

Are you okay?

Kind of.

I'm trapped in the truck, but I'm okay.

Listen, I still don't know what they want, but they can't come in unless you invite them, okay?

- No, no, no.

- Dad!

- We can't hear you.

- Dad!

Just stay put.

Hello?

Hello?

Claire?

Why isn't he answering?

Why isn't he answering?

Hang on, just stay here.

What?

No!

- Lock the door.

- No, don't go!

I just...

I have to get within range, I'll be right back, I promise.

Two minutes, give me two minutes.

Claire, can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

Claire?

Nathan?

Nathan.

Nathan.

Can you hear me, Nathan?

Nathan?

Claire.

Just let me in.

Mommy!

Maggie.

Why can't you do it?

Why?

You're so f*cking selfish.

Stay the f*ck away from us!

You can't even protect our babies.

That's not Val.

Can I come in?

Leave us alone!

That's not Val.

Come on, come on.

What's the matter, Maggie bear?

Don't you want to play with mama?

You are not going crazy.

No.

You're not real!

You are the reason I'm dead.

Is it really you, Mommy?

Of course it's me, baby.

Claire?

Hey, Claire...

Can you hear me?

I love you.

I thought you were gone forever.

- Why did you leave us?

- Maggie?

Oh, Mommy, I missed you!

I'm right here.

Maggie, who are you talking to?

Claire, can you hear me?

Just let me in, my love.

Claire.

Claire?

Maggie.

Maggie, open the door.

Maggie.

Maggie, open the door!

Maggie!

Maggie!

Hey, you little m*therf*ckers.

Come on.

You wanna play?

Come on in, come on!

Unlock the door, Claire!

Unlock the door, Claire!

Unlock the door, Claire!

Come on, baby.

It's okay, it's okay.

Maggie?

Where's Maggie?

- Maggie?

- She's in the tub.

She's in the tub, she's dead.

- What?

- She's dead.

Maggie?

Come on out, honey.

Maggie!

Honey?

She was right here.

I saw her body.

That's what they want you to think, honey.

Maggie!

They're after the kids.

Never had anything to do with us.

- What?

- Come on.

- What?

- It was never about us.

They wanted Maggie all along.

Come on.

Maggie?

Maggie!

Claire, come on!

Maggie!

Maggie!

But I saw Mom.

I saw Mom, too.

It's not just that.

Maggie, I heard her talking to her through the door.

It's just games they're playing with us, honey.

Okay, listen!

I think she's trying to tell us something.

- Why'd you bring this?

- I don't know, I just...

Woo!

Come on, Daddy!

Maggie!

Maggie!

- Maggie!

- Come on, Daddy!

Woo-hoo!

- I'm over here, Daddy!

- Honey?

You'll never catch me!

Maggie?

Maggie!

"Daddy, come get me!

You'll never catch me!

Maggie?

- Come on.

- I can't.

Are you sure?

Okay, I'll be right back.

Nathan?

Claire?

Maggie?

You're here.

You came back for me.

You're not real.

Where's Maggie?

She's here.

She's safe.

Why?

You betrayed us.

Our family.

Me.

You let me die.

- Why, Nate?

- Oh, Val.

You were suffering.

You gave up.

And now you're trying to throw my memory away.

No.

I don't want to.

You don't have to.

You don't have to.

We can be together again.

We can be a family again.

Stay here with me.

Nathan...

Nathan...

I don't want you to worry about me.

Take care of each other.

Nathan!

Promise me, when the time is right, you'll let me go.

You're not my Val.

My Valerie's gone.

Nathan!

- Hey.

- That's Claire.

Nathan!

No, no, no!

Claire?

Claire?

Throw me the bottle, Claire!

Dad!

You have to let me go.

Take care of each other.

What are you doing?

What we came here to do.

Maggie.

Come on.

- Maggie...

- Daddy!

It's okay, it's okay.

Daddy, they got me!

Here, let me see.

- You okay?

- I saw Mommy.

She was there, she was outside of the trailer, I saw her, and she told me to come with her and I did.

No, that wasn't Mommy.

I was so scared, Daddy.

I know.

I know.

I know.

Shh, but you're okay.

You're okay, we're together.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Next time we go on a trip, can we just stay in a hotel?
