01x06 - Now You Must Be Still

[bunniefuu]

[ENGINE STARTS]

[DANNY] This is five, over.

[MALE OFFICER] This is base,
over. What's up, Danny?

Everything is quiet at the Landon house.

I'm gonna go home and get some shut-eye.

Beckman, - at : a.m. Got it.

I'm gonna swing by her sister's
house on my way. She's...

She's away.

[BEEPS]

[WAVES CRASHING]

[MAN] If he gets too close,
I want you to stick him.

Right into his neck. Okay?

I love you, Daddy.

[MAN] I love you too, kiddo, eh.

[RUSTLING]

[LISEY] Amanda...

this is hot, so I'm gonna
hold this for you, okay?

Scott gave me a drink, but not cocoa.

It was cool water.

It was beautiful water.

[LAUGHING IN DISTANCE]

[YOUNG AMANDA, DARLA, LISEY]
It's the Hollyhocks! Go faster!

[YOUNG AMANDA, DARLA, LISEY]
It's the Hollyhocks,

it's the Hollyhocks, it's the
Hollyhocks, it's the Hollyhocks.

[YOUNG AMANDA SQUEALS, LAUGHS]

Lisey.

Lisey.

[WHIMPERS] Lisey.

Yes.

Pictures. Lighthouse.

Amanda.

I'll help you, Lisey.

Only bring me home.

Bring me home, Lisey. Bring me home!

[SOBBING]

- Yes. Yes. I'll bring you.
- [CRIES, SIGHS]

- Good.
- [LOW GROWL]

[AMANDA] Help me.

[WIND WHISTLING]

[DARLA] Hey.

You okay?

He was here, right?

Okay, well, if he comes back,
we are well stocked.

So this is what I found.

This, which I think is a pepper spray.

And... [SIGHS]

Um, this is a kind of Mace, I think.

Our sister was really fond of Mace.

This is also... it's like a Mace g*n.

k*ll him with some Mace.

This seems interesting to me.
It's called a screecher,

and I think it makes a big sound

and maybe we can scare him off

or make him go deaf or something like...

Um, and this is, uh, the taser
that I was telling you about, so...

"Thanks, Darla." Oh,
you're welcome. Okay.

How you doing?

I'm sure I could've found other things,

but her house is even creepier
without her in it, so...

Wow. You've really packed a lot up.

You're making progress. That's good.

You could be an anchor too.

I can't risk having both of my
sisters stranded over there.

Right. Right.

I haven't had my coffee yet. Um...

[WATER RUNNING]

[GASPS]

Lisey? [PANTS]

Lisey?

Come on. Where'd you go?

Oh, sh*t.

Lisey. Lisey, Lisey!

[LISEY] The flowers.
Can I touch them? Is it safe?

[SCOTT] I took one back
once, but it d*ed right away.

[DARLA] Lisey!

- [LISEY] Darla.
- [SCREAMS]

Lisey, what just happened?
Where did you go?

I knew that you wouldn't believe
me without a demonstration.

Scott was right. Water is best.

- How?
- I was in Boo'ya Moon.

- No, no, no.
- Yes.

Amanda's there too. Part of her, anyway.

Yeah, okay, okay. You... You...
You're starting to s-scare me now.

Look, I brought this back for you.

- It's a trick, right?
- No.

- I really hate this, Lisey.
- I know. I know you do.

- I'm so sorry.
- I want to go home.

- No. No.
- I want to go home for a little while.

- I want to get back into bed.
- No, I need you, and I need Amanda.

I need my sisters.

He's gonna k*ll us.

- Dooley?
- Dooley.

This is real.

[LINE RINGING]

[RINGING]

- [DASHMIEL] Yes?
- Professor Dashmiel, it's Lisa Landon.

I don't want to talk to you.
I've explained already.

Um, I just wa... I just...

I just wanted to tell you that I'm...

I'm considering lodging
a suit against you

for half a million dollars
for harassment.

Miss Landon, I, uh...

My lawyers want it to be
three millions dollars,

but I was like, "There's no way
that he can ever make that.

But half a million, I mean if he,
like, you know, sells some stock

and empties out his IRA
and gets rid of his house,

well, he can do that, right?"

Miss Landon, I apologize.

- I'm so sorry.
- Oh, God.

You know what Scott would say?

He would say, "If sorry were rain,
the Sahara would be underwater."

[SIGHS]

But there are some
things that you could do

that would make me change my mind.

Of course. Anything.

Okay. So if Dooley contacts you...

Miss Landon, I told you...

Listen to me! Listen
to me, listen to me.

Listen to me.

If Dooley gets in touch with you,

tell him that I have changed my
mind, I've regained my senses,

and he should meet me tonight in
my husband's study at : p.m.

You sound like a person

that's about to get herself

into a great deal of
trouble, Mrs. Landon.

Well, you... you'd know
about that, wouldn't you?

Okay, so here's the second
thing. It's a flat lie,

but I figured since you've
been telling everybody

you saved my husband's
life all these years,

that you'd be okay with that.

I want you to call the Cleaves
Mills Police Department,

talk to Chief Richards,

and tell him that your
pet maniac called you

and said he was scared
off by the police.

Do you understand what
I'm asking you to do?

- Yes, I... Uh... But...
- You do, you understand.

Do you understand me?

Well, your thr*at's empty.

I engaged a lawyer and he said...

Oh, you have a lawyer?
Ah, yeah, well, I have a bunch.

I also have $ million,

so if we decide to ass f*ck you,

you're gonna be bleeding
for a long time.

[BEEPS]

[CLICK]

Mr. Dooley, it's Lisa Landon.

I'm gonna visit my sister in Auburn,

- but then meet me here at : p.m....
- Okay, stop. No, no, no.

- [CLICKS]
- Rewind. That was terrible.

[TAPE REWINDING]

- [CLICKS]
- [STOPS REWINDING]

[CLICKS]

Mr. Dooley, it's Lisa Landon.
Please don't hurt me.

You win, you can have it all.

Um, meet me at : p.m.,
and I promise I won't... Uh...

- I hate that. I can't do that.
- It's not good.

[TAPE REWINDING]

- [CLICKS]
- [STOPS REWINDING]

[CLICKS]

Mr. Dooley, it's Lisey Landon.

You win. I'll give you
whatever you want.

Meet me here at : p.m.

I won't call the police, but
please just don't hurt me.

Don't hurt me anymore.

[CLICKS]

That was good.

No, none of... none of this is good.

[DARLA] You know what
you're doing, right?

Whenever Scott started a speaking
tour to promote one of his books,

he always began his
talks with the same idea.

Talked about the struggle.

Said that every novel is a struggle
between the writer and the story,

and the writer always tried to hold on,

but at a certain point,

he had to let go and let
the story tell itself.

And that's what I'm trying to do now.

This story has a happy ending, right?

I don't know.

Hi. We're here to see our sister.

Of course. Oh, uh, you
might want to know.

Amanda, Miss Debusher, was talking
a little, but now she's stopped.

And Dr. Gold says we may
have to catheterize her

because she's not moving.

Okay. Okay, thanks.

Well, of course she's not moving.

She's in that other place.

- Boolie Moon, right?
- Yes. Yes.

Lots of others like her, thousands.

But she's also here.

Yes, because she's a double.

- Don't forget she's also an anchor.
- Yes.

Sorry, I don't get any of this.

You don't have to understand.

- No, I don't have to, but I'd like to.
- God, just stop it, okay?

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

[DARLA] Hey.

Hey, Amanda, it's Darla. [KISSES]

Won't you look at me?

Pirate ships are fine for little girls.

That was a long time ago.

We need you back.

Is this how your story ends?

With her living here for the next
years and peeing in a bag?

Scott knew you for what
you are, didn't he?

He knew you were a cutter.

Just like him.

He knew that you were one of the gone.

He went after you the
last time you went away.

He did something, but he knew
that it might happen again,

so he reserved a place for you here.

I think he foresaw everything.

Including Jim Dooley.

Will you let me know if you hear me?

What did he do, Amanda?

How did he bring you back?

[SCOTT] In the bad.

That's when you cut.

To let it out.

I know all about it.

Learned it a long time
ago. When I was a kid.

This is just between us.

Kissed me.

- What?
- Shh.

It was cool water. Beautiful water.

He said it was from the pool.

The one in Boo'ya Moon.

[GRUNTS, COUGHS]

[COUGHING]

[NO AUDIBLE SOUND]

[SOBBING]

How? I can see you.
I can see... I can see you.

Couldn't get up. It was so awful.

- [CHUCKLES]
- It was awful.

But he said that you would...
you would come for me,

because you came for him,
and you came for me.

- You did.
- Scott? Scott?

Scott told you that?

When... When did he tell you that?

It was some... It was, um...

It was after my last break
and not long before he d*ed.

But he said that...
that I should come back,

and that I should come home,
because you needed me.

- I do.
- You do need me.

I do need you. [SNIFFLES]

I need you. I need you.

I need you both, because
someone is trying to hurt me.

- Someone... Someone is trying to k*ll me.
- What?

Okay, what are we gonna tell the doctor?

What? What would Scott have told him?

Scott...

[COUNTRY SONG PLAYING]

- [MUSIC STOPS]
- Scott?

[SCOTT] Hey.

Hey.

What you doing?

Is that The Night People?

Yeah. I just got it back from
Carson, my esteemed editor.

Look at this.

[GASPS] "Creaks a bit,
old boy"? [CHUCKLES]

Can't believe he said that.

Are you gonna fix it or fight him?

Fix it, probably. He's right.

The, uh, reunion scene's
a little unbelievable.

On the other hand, look at this.

[GASPS] That is so cute.

I don't know what it has to
do with your editor, though.

Well, what would he
say if Ralph the corgi

turned up in one of my books?

Well, he'd probably say that
it creaked a bit. [CHUCKLES]

[CHUCKLES] We novelists, you know,
we have to worry about motivation,

beware of coincidence,

you know, and describe the
situations, which is total bullshit.

Life doesn't work like that. Never did.

Reality is a f*cking dog that
somehow travels , miles

and turns up at home after three years.

- [CHUCKLES] Ralph is reality.
- [COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYS]

Mmm, that would make
a good bumper sticker.

Dance with me, babyluv.

No, I have to go downtown
and run some errands.

- I'll be back this aft...
- f*ck downtown. f*ck errands.

Life is short. Dance with me, babyluv.

[CHUCKLES]

[SONG CONTINUES]

[CLICKS]

Ralph.

[KISSING]

Oh. Uh...

Okay. [SIGHS]

Okay, careful. We're
going down now. Down.

[DARLA] It's okay, it's okay.

[DARLA] There you go.

Miss Debusher.

We'd like to see, um,
Dr. Alberness, please.

I'm leaving.

We were visiting with
her. We were just...

We were just talking to
her, as you suggested,

and... and she came around.

Is that really what happened?

Yes, and I need to go home now.

I don't think that would
be the wisest course of...

Hey, is that you?

Uh, yes.

You're in good shape.

[CHUCKLES] Thank you.

Um...

what's the last thing you
remember, Amanda?

I, um... I cut myself.

I was in my house.

I cut myself, Lisey came, then Darla,
may... maybe both of them,

and then I woke up... here.

That... That's what
it was like waking up.

And I'm, um... I think
because they called me back.

[SIGHS] I...

I have heard of such things.

I mean, there... there are cases
in Jung's Psychological Types.

But I've never seen one.

[CHUCKLES] Well, frankly,
I'm... I'm amazed.

[DARLA] Whoa! Bruce Springsteen?

That's... That's The Boss. I mean...

You... You actually met him?

Yes, yes. Backstage passes.
Um, Amanda...

So, was he, like, nice,
or was he all show-bizzy?

Oh, very nice.

Um, Amanda, I... I think
you should stay a few days,

just to make sure everything's okay.

I appreciate the... the care that
you have given me, Dr. Alberness,

but I... I need to go now.

We will be with her day
and night, Dr. Alberness.

- Hugh.
- Hugh.

And, of course, I'll arrange
for her ongoing care.

Well, I hardly think I'm gonna be
needing any ongoing care, though...

No, I think you're gonna
need some ongoing care,

so I'm gonna talk to Hugh
and the doctors about this.

- [AMANDA] No. Lisey...
- That's what you're gonna need.

- Fine.
- [ALBERNESS SIGHS]

Okay. This is highly irregular.

Now, I think I should
at least do a few tests.

No!

[LISEY] Hugh, do you know what
Scott would've said about this?

"Don't analyze. Utilize."

Accept the gift.

[WHISPERING] Accept the gift.

[DARLA] Ooh, Al Gore. I love him.

I voted for him.

He's done such great things.
You know he actually won an Oscar?

Did you treat him? I know you
can't say, but I'd love to know.

Scott loved him too.

It's a good sh*t of you.

Very handsome.

Here we go. Is he a
prick or is it just me?

- He's a prick.
- Mm-hmm.

Al Gore.

My panties are all getting damp.

Yep, forgot how restful and peaceful
it was when you were catatonic.

Okay. She's out. That's the
important thing. We got her out.

No, no, it was a voluntary committal.

They couldn't keep me.

Dear God, here comes the gratitude.

I am grateful.

You'll never know.
Thank you, both. Thank you.

All right.

[SOBS]

Yeah. [SIGHS]

- No, no, no, no. This way.
- No, no, no, sweetie.

[LISEY] Car's this way.

[SIGHS]

[SOBS]

[SNIFFLES]

[SOBS]

[SOBS]

[SNIFFLES]

[SOBBING]

[SNIFFLES] And I knew that I was going,

and I just... I couldn't
stop it, and then...

I thought that I would
be there forever and...

[SNIFFLES] Oh, God.

You rescued me, Lisey.

Because she needs you. We both do.

We love you, you troublesome old thing.

[GASPS] Pull in, Lisey. Here, please.

- Pull in, pull in. Lisey, pull in here.
- What? No. No.

- It's gonna rain a bitch.
- No, I want to watch the storm.

- Pull over, please, Lisey. Please.
- Okay. Okay, okay.

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

And I want you to tell me everything.

Before the rain comes.

[SIGHS]

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

So, do you understand
everything that I've told you?

He's your basic loony.

He's jealous of you, also hot for you.

What's not to understand?

And you understand why she
can't go to the police, right?

Yeah, I... Yeah. I get it,
I get it. I have a g*n.

No, you don't have a g*n because
Darla threw it in the river,

- so you don't have a g*n anymore.
- You are nuts, both of you.

You want to call it Banella,
you want to call it Boolie Moon.

- It doesn't exist.
- Darla, you saw me go there.

I saw you regurgitate
water in her mouth.

Oh, is that it? That's it?
That's what you saw?

- Stop, okay?
- [LISEY] No.

No! He hurt me! He f*cked with me!

And the next time he fucks with me

is the last time he fucks with anybody.

That's right. You were
the steel in his spine.

Always, from the very beginning.

Oh, Scott had plenty of spine.

Yes, in his whole childhood,

he used it to get out
of his childhood alive.

What did he tell you, Amanda?

- What did he tell you?
- He could've k*lled me.

- Here comes the rain.
- What?

He could've k*lled me.

- [THUNDER RUMBLING]
- It wasn't just the...

the light was on or there
were dishes in your sink

or the bed was unmade,
there were crumbs every...

There was food on your counter
'cause he was eating your food, Manda,

like f*ckin' Goldilocks.

My house? He was in my house? He...

- We have to k*ll him.
- [DARLA] And there was a smell.

I don't know if it was
his sweat or feet.

There was a smell and...

Dooley was there. He was there
when I went to get the g*n.

Probably was there.

He probably was there,
because he's a f*cking idiot.

I bet he was watching me the whole time.

Either he was under
the bed or in the closet.

We have to k*ll him.

Amanda, Jesus!

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

[DARLA] Damn it!

Lisey.

You think you could really k*ll him?

Yes.

And get rid of the body in that place?

[CHUCKLES] Yes!

- Can I help?
- Yes!

Yes!

- Amanda!
- Yes! Yes.

- Amanda!
- Amanda.

Will you help us k*ll him?

Yeah. I got no problem with k*lling him.

[LAUGHS] Let's f*cking k*ll him.

- Let's f*cking k*ll him!
- f*cking k*ll him!

- Let's f*cking k*ll him!
- f*cking k*ll him!

[TOGETHER] Let's f*cking k*ll him!

- Yeah!
- Let's f*cking k*ll him!

f*ck yeah! Let's f*cking k*ll him!

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

[LINE RINGING]

[RINGS]

Mr. Dooley, it's Lisey Landon. You win.

You can have whatever you want.

Meet me here at : p.m.
I won't call the police.

Just don't hurt me anymore, please.

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

[BIRD SQUAWKS]

[VEHICLE DOOR CLOSING]

[BIRD SQUAWKS]

[SNIFFS]

Looks like you got caught out.

Yeah, I did, and I enjoyed
it too. How are you?

- Fine.
- Yeah?

Uh, Chief Richards says that this
nonsense is about to be over.

Uh, he spoke to the professor

and he said that fella that was
stalking you has left the area.

That's wonderful news.

Yeah.

But do you believe it?

You're the one who always says
these guys are show and go, right?

[DANNY] Yeah, but he
could be playing us.

Look, the station is spread
a little thin tonight.

I-I don't mind sticking around.

You should get some rest.

All right. Well, you have
my number on speed dial,

and the station too, yeah?

Yeah. Well, I'll call you first
if anything happens, okay?

- All right, that's a deal.
- Thanks.

Now dry off. And you have a safe night.

Uh-huh.

[ENGINE STARTS]

Told him I'd call him if I needed him.

I hate to put you guys in danger.

I think we'd be in less danger

if Darla hadn't thrown
my g*n in the river.

Let's just forget the g*n, okay?
We're clear on the plan, right?

Yeah, he's not gonna be
expecting three against one.

- No.
- Okay, yeah.

The only thing, Lisey, is the, uh,
the path you want us to walk on

has got poison ivy on both sides.

Oh, my God, then don't touch it.

And just... And bring her
back to... to your house.

Don't... Don't go to Amanda's.

Right. I'm not an idiot.

And the diner downtown first.

I want a cheeseburger and fries
the way I like them, burnt black.

Yeah. I know how you like it.

I know how you like it.

What are you talking about?

- Officer in uniform.
- Oh, my God.

- You flirted with the cop.
- I did not! I... [LAUGHS]

[LAUGHING, CHATTERING]

Don't make fun of me.

[LAUGHING]

[BIRD SQUAWKS]

He'll come.
