03x01 - The Book of Kevin

Post by bunniefuu »

So many of our loved ones
were lost three years ago.

140 million people disappeared.

Two percent of the world's population.

The Guilty Remnant.

A year ago these people
didn't even exist.

Now there's almost 50 of them.
What do they want?

We are living reminders of what you try
so desperately to forget.

People went away
from everywhere except here.

This place is chosen.

Welcome to Miracle.

So, are you moving in?
I'm John. We're right next door.

Something bad is gonna happen... To you.

It's all bullshit, right?

- Don't open it till I'm gone, okay?
- Back by 11.

Evie didn't come home last night.

She was out with her friends and...

- they're gone, too.
- Gone?

- I've been seeing someone.
- Who?

Patti Levin. She ran the Guilty Remnant.

But she's dead.

What you were seeing is not real.

If you wanna get rid of her, I can help.

- How do we do this?
- You die.

Kevin, stop!

Goodbye, Patti.

Holy sh*t!

Whoa! Stop!

It's the three girls.

Pull back! Too many of them!

Why would she do this to us?

- Maybe she didn't.
- What?

Love you.

(g*nsh*t)

(GASPS)

- What are you doing here?
- What are you doing here?

I live here now.

I k*lled you.

- Nope.
- I don't understand what's happening.

Me neither.

You're home.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

WOMAN: Heaven and Earth will disappear,

but my words remain forever.

But no one knows the date
now when the end will be,

not even the angels.

No, nor even God's son.

Only the Father knows.

The world will be at ease...
banquets and parties and weddings,

just as it was in Noah's time before
the sudden coming of the flood.

People wouldn't believe
what was going to happen

until the flood actually arrived
and took them all away.

So shall my coming be.

Two men will be working
together in the fields

and one will be taken, the other left.

Two women will be going about
their household tasks.

One will be taken, the other left.

So be prepared, for you don't know
what day your Lord is coming.

Morning.

You can talk. It's okay.

(MEG SCOFFS)

You're much better at this than me.

Maybe you should be in charge.

You like Siegfried and Roy,
the magic guys in Vegas?

They did tricks with
those beautiful tigers.

Every night, a tiger disappears

and the tiger comes back.

They made calendars with those tigers.

They just laid right on top of
them like they were carpets.

Excuse me. Officer, do we

Uh, yeah. There's a campground

- MAN: Excuse me!
- TOMMY: ...in our town, okay?

He's departed. He's not... I don't
care who it is, all right?

There's a height ordinance.
Nothing above 15 feet.

You gotta take it down.

That dude on the pillar's
over 15 feet, man!

KEVIN: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hang on.

The guy on the pillar
was grandfathered in.

- Hey, Chief.
- What's going on?

These gentlemen don't seem to wanna
deflate their little joke here.

All right, no, no. It
is not a joke, okay?

Mr. Gary Busey's coming back
from heaven on the 14th.

How is he gonna know where to land?

KEVIN: All right.

Here's what I'm gonna do.

I'm gonna let you keep Gary up there,

but you guys have to be my deputies.

You see anyone or anything
that seems remotely dangerous,

call me personally.

Nuts, man. f*cking nuts!

You never underestimate the spirit.

MAN: Yeah, man.

- That was smart.
- Yeah.

See what happens when you
make people feel important?

Should I be writing this down?

Listen, we're already over our number.

We're a few bodies short
down at the bridge.

You mind running down
there till role call?

- No, not at all.
- And we got dinner tonight. 6:00 sharp.

- Don't forget.
- 5:30 works a little better for me.

- Well, 6:00 works better for me.
- Oh, okay.

6:00 it is. You guys do remember
it's my birthday today, right?

- Get to the bridge.
- All right, Chief.

(BOTH LAUGH)

MATT OVER P.A.: The king
of Babylon had a dream,

and that dream was terrifying.

So Daniel comes. He cracks his knuckles.

"Okay, tell me what you've got."

"I dreamed," says the king,

"of a great tree stretching
all the way to the heavens.

A tree that provides all
things to all people,

but then it was cut down, destroyed."

Daniel nods. "Ah."

"You know what it
means?" asked the king.

"You are the tree," says Daniel.

"I am?" says the king.

"You are," answers Daniel.

"And you getting cut down
isn't the worst part either,

because once you are down,
you will lose your mind.

You will go mad, my king.

You will live amongst the wild animals

and eat grass like an ox.

"Forever?" asked the king.

"No," says Daniel.

"Just for seven years."

"Deuteronomy"... every seven
years, you must cancel all debts.

"Genesis"... seven years of famine begat.

"Ezekiel"... they shall burn
them with fire for seven years.

So, what will happen on October 14th

just a couple of weeks from now?

Probably nothing.

But if something were to happen,

it would happen here in
Jarden, Texas, in Miracle.

Because I get a feeling
in this place sometimes,

the same feeling I got when my
wife awoke from a three-year coma

the day I brought her here.

- Mary.
- (CHEERING)

The same feeling I had after
being told by countless doctors

that Mary could not bear a child.

- (APPLAUSE)
- But she bore one here.

- Noah's a little shy like his dad.
- (LAUGHTER)

My friends, I've got that feeling again,

so if something does
happen on October 14th...

you've all come to the right place.

- MAN: Amen to that. Amen to that.
- Hallelujah.

CONGREGATION: Hallelujah!

MATT: I see a lot of new faces. Welcome.

If you wanna be baptized
here in Miracle,

just come on down tomorrow morning.

We'll be at the spring on
the east edge of town,

which the good Lord has seen
fit to replenish with water.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

You watching p*rn?

What?

Oh, when people are
watching p*rn, they shut...

Ah, never mind. Forget it.

Okay. (CHUCKLES)

You coming tonight? I
told Tommy 6:00 sharp.

Mm-hmm.

- Hey there, Chief.
- KEVIN: Hey.

Mm, what are you two talking about?

- Just Tom's party.
- Oh. Yeah, can't wait.

I'm sorry about the church.
I know we're over capacity.

It's just so many people wanna come.

Yeah, well, then look. Maybe you
should, um, stop advertising.

What's that?

The address for the
church is right on it.

No one loves handing out
flyers more than you do.

I swear I didn't do this.

You heard what I said in there.

No, I heard what you said in there,

and you said nothing's
gonna happen on the 14th

unless everything happens on the 14th.

I can't afford to have this
place explode again, all right?

Just tone it down.

Of course. You're right. Will do.

Will do?

If you're asking me to
tone it down, Kevin,

I'll tone it down.

Good.

Good.

Good.

Good.

Did he see it?

KEVIN: Okay, everybody. Settle down.

Listen, we are two weeks
out from the 14th,

and currently our estimates are low.

We are looking now at an influx

of anywhere from 5,000 to 10,000
pilgrims between then and now.

(ALL GROANING)

As of now, you're all approved

for permanent OT, effective immediately.

(ALL CHEERING)

NORA: Am I late?

No, you're right on time.

Agent Nora Durst from the DSD

is gonna tell us about
procedures moving forward.

So, everybody, listen up.

Thanks, Chief.

Can you guys hear me okay?

- OFFICERS: Yeah.
- Okay, great.

So, I know we went over this
a couple of months ago,

but there's been some confusion.

So, let's talk about the "D" word.

- (ALL GRUMBLING)
- Yes, I get it.

If a guy says his girlfriend
vanished into thin air,

there's a good chance she's
decomposing in his trunk.

But as frustrating as it is
to indulge the bullshit,

there is a process in place
that we all must go through.

If a suspect asks for a
lawyer, you get a lawyer.

If a suspects says
departure, you get me. Cool?

- (ALL AGREEING)
- MAN: Got ya.

Dismissed, assholes.

- (CHATTER)
- Walk you out, Agent Durst?

Absolutely, Chief Garvey. Thank you.

Tommy knows.

Kevin, there's no such
thing as a surprise party.

- Then why the hell are we doing it?
- Because it's fun to pretend.

Hey, help me out. Between the blades.

(MOANS) Oh, yeah. Ooh, higher.

(CHUCKLES) I'm gonna miss this cast.

Yet you never asked to sign it.

- Bye.
- Bye.

MAN: Hey, Chief.

A guy just came in and says
he needs to talk to you.

Is he Tinfoil Hat or a Kenneth?

Neither.

Knows you from New York.

Says you guys were hunting buddies.

Christ, it's good to see you.

- (CHUCKLING)
- Good to see you, too.

- Well, you remember me, right?
- Yeah.

- Dean.
- Of course. Dean, yeah.

What can I do for you?

Uh, you know, probably I...

I should hold back on the details

until I can provide you
with unassailable proof,

but if I'm being completely honest,

it's... it's a little out there.

Sure.

I tried to keep you out of this,

but I gotta regretfully inform you

that our prey...

previously unsophisticated
and easily killable...

- (g*nsh*t)
- (DOG YELPS)

has adapted.

So, Wyoming Senator Y. Woodrow Huffman...

the incumbent, mind you...

has a swanky fundraiser a week back.

Food's high-class, all right?

Crab cakes, Cornish game hens.

But this m*therf*cker Huffman,

he asks me for a peanut butter sandwich.

He asked you for...

Yeah, I was undercover
on the catering staff.

Well, the senator was a guest
of honor, the man of the hour,

so f*cking A right, we
got him his sandwich.

You know, peanut butter.

Man, they loved that sh*t.

And he's the only one who touched
it, only one who bit it.

His saliva.

So, when you test it, you
know that it's uncorrupted.

Test it for what?

Canine DNA.

Now... now, I know what you're thinking.

All right? Why take on human form?

What do they want, right?
Today, it's the senator.

Tomorrow, it's the Secretary of,
you know, g*dd*mn Agriculture.

And then it's the president.

The leader of the free f*cking world.

And that, my friend, is how the
world ends two weeks from now.

That's how they get their
finger on the button.

Paw.

Sorry?

That's how they get their
paw on the... the button.

So, you... you don't believe me.

What you're thinking is happening...

isn't.

It's all in your head, man.

It's not real.

Look, Valdivia tells me

you're staying down by the trailer park.

So tomorrow, I'm gonna come by...

(BLOWING SOFTLY)

and we're gonna talk.

but, uh, my wife made me come here.

And I don't really believe
in any of this sh*t.

Yeah.

Well, you already paid, so you might
as well hear what I got, man.

(CHUCKLES) So, what?

You just, uh... you
look at my palm print?

You talk to my dead father?

Don't you think you should
light some candles, you know?

Maybe get out a Ouija
board or something?

Pat Benatar.

Now, how'd you know about that?

Look, I can't talk to your dad, man.

It's more like turning a radio
dial and seeing what you pick up.

But you ask the right questions,
you usually get something back.

So, what do you wanna know?

Why did he do it on my birthday?

(DOOR OPENS)

- (DOOR CLOSES)
- (CLEARS THROAT)

I'm sorry to interrupt.

I'm gonna grab something upstairs.

- No problem. I'll see you later, Kev.
- Yeah.

- Mm-hmm.
- All right.

All right.

JOHN: Okay, now listen.

I know there's a part of you

that's hoping that he didn't
even know it was your birthday.

But there are some things you
need to know about him first.

(KNOCKS)

LAURIE: He believed
himself to be a failure.

- He believed himself to be a failure.
- He...

- LAURIE: He failed his family.
- JOHN: He failed his family.

He failed at his job.

He failed at being the man
that he wanted to be.

He was... he was sad.

He was always sad.

Didn't want anyone to know,

especially his kids.

He hid it from...

He hid it from Anne Marie and Billy

and you.

I'm so sorry,

but the truth is he was so broken

that he didn't even know
it was your birthday

when he took his life.

He was only thinking about one thing...

escaping.

So, that's what he did.

- He escaped.
- JOHN: And that's what he did.

- He escaped.
- Okay. You can hug him now.

They won't believe it unless it's harsh.

Jeez, now I know why I quit therapy.

(CHUCKLES)

What brings you by, Kev-o?

We got a problem.

We gotta keep it between you and me.

Okay.

Apparently, dogs are
taking on human form

and they are infiltrating the
highest levels of our government.

And... and where did you come by
this information, Chief Garvey?

A guy I used to know in
Mapleton a few years back.

Maybe we sh*t some dogs together.

You were in the GR.

I was coping.

So, this is my fault?

No, it's his fault 'cause
he's f*cking crazy.

Did you tell him he was crazy?

Maybe.

You never tell someone

who is experiencing a delusion of that
magnitude that they are delusional.

You told me I was delusional when I
told you I was talking to Patti.

And then you went and drank poison.

I'm better now.

Of course you are.

Just please talk to this guy?

I'm worried about him.

- You got it.
- (DOOR OPENS)

- Hey, man.
- How you doing, man?

You and Nora need any help
setting up Tommy's thing?

- KEVIN: Yeah, that'd be great.
- Yeah?

(WHIRRING)

How much is that?

It's 80 bucks.

- You just...?
- (WHIRRING)

She's good, isn't she?

She's the best.

(CHUCKLES)

- Pat Benatar.
- Pat Benatar. (CHUCKLES)

Whoo! Let's party.

- (CHATTER)
- (MAN LAUGHS)

Okay, shh!

He's coming, he's coming, he's coming!

Okay, okay.

- ALL: Surprise!
- Oh, my God.

A party? (CHUCKLES)

ALL: ♪ Happy birthday, dear Tommy... ♪

Happy birthday, buddy.

♪ Happy birthday to you! ♪

(SQUAWKS)

Go on, make a wish.

A wish, huh? What should I wish for?

Let's see. That's a lot
of responsibility, Dad.

I could wish for world peace.

That's always a classic.

- Boo.
- No need to ask for a bigger family

since everybody seems to
be marrying each other.

(ALL CHUCKLING)

I always wanted a little
brother, by the way, dude.

Or I could... I could give it away.

Anyone need anything?

It's your wish, honey.

All right. I got it, I got it.

- NORA: Oh!
- (LAUGHING, APPLAUDING)

(BANGING AT DOOR)

- TOMMY: Someone's at the door.
- Those are so annoying.

This the house where all
the f*cked up people live?

- (ALL LAUGHING, CHEERING)
- LAURIE: What?! What?!

TOMMY: Wishes do come true!

- LAURIE: Oh!
- (TOMMY LAUGHS)

Mary and me were in "Huatemala."

- "Huatemala"?
- You don't pronounce the "G," Thomas.

That's the first thing they
told the missionaries.

What they didn't tell us was
not to eat the cow brains.

I threw up for five days straight

and apparently hallucinated multiple
conversations with a burning bush.

- What did it say?
- Well, my Spanish wasn't so great.

Something along the lines
of, "Please put me out."

- Where were you, John?
- JOHN: Uh, well, let me see.

I was about a mile and a half that way.

Erika was in med school

and I was working at a liquor store.

- MATT: Uh-oh.
- Yeah.

Which didn't turn out to be so good.

Uh, your turn, Kev-o.

Oh, me at 25? Jesus.

I was... I was a cop. I worked
for my dad, the chief.

And, uh, this was long before he decided
to go off the grid and move to Australia.

But on my 25th birthday,

I was... I was driving
through an intersection...

and bam, the back of my
cruiser gets clipped.

I jump out of the car and
the airbags have gone off.

The woman who hit me, she's
shaken, but she's okay.

And I go over to her car.

There's a little two-year-old
boy in a car seat.

And he's just calm as can be.

He's just smiling at me.

Must've liked the uniform.

- Wait, that was Laurie?
- KEVIN: Yeah.

A year later, I married her,
adopted smiley over here.

- MICHAEL: Oh!

All because we both thought
we had the green light.

And it turned out that
the switcher was busted.

So, you know.

Well, divine intervention. (CHUCKLES)

What do you mean?

You know, like karma
or kismet, whatever.

You know?

(CHUCKLES) What?

Oh, nothing. I... I never
heard the story before.

It's lovely.

To being in the right
place at the right time.

- Yeah, right place, right time.
- JOHN: Right place, right time.

(CHATTER)

(JILL LAUGHS)

KEVIN: Sure you wanna
drive back to campus?

You could stay here with us tonight.

If I stay with you guys, it'll
just hurt Mom's feelings.

Then stay with her and John.

It's not like it's a far walk.

Yeah, but if I stay with her,

she'll just keep me up
all night apologizing.

So, this is the last time we're
ever gonna see each other, huh?

- What do you... what do you mean?
- Just the world is ending.

Oh, yeah. Well, right. (CHUCKLES)

How's Nora?

She's great.


She ever talk about Lily?

No.

Should I try and get her to?

What do I know?

- You still got your crown on.
- I know I do.

(ENGINE STARTS)

(SIGHS)

What were guys talking about out
on the porch? Your penises?

No, we were talking about what
we were doing when we were 25.

And I told the story about how when
Laurie crashed into the back of me.

- Oh, how romantic.
- (BOTH CHUCKLE)

It's more romantic than when
we met in divorce court

and you told me f*ck my daughter.

That's not where we met.

We met at the Christmas dance

and you told me you
cheated on your wife.

- We gotta work on our story.
- Mm, yeah.

- (SCOFFS)
- Here, let me get that.

I got it.

- Come here.
- Thank you.

When do you get your cast off?

Um, day after tomorrow.

I was watching you from
the porch with Noah.

Mm, yeah. He's yummy, isn't he?

Mm-hmm.

(MOANS)

(CRICKETS CHIRPING)

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

Good morning.

- What time is it?
- It's Sunday morning. Sleep in.

I'm just gonna go for a ride.

I should get on the bridge.

Suit yourself, Sheriff.

Everybody knows you just
like to ride that horse.

- (CHUCKLES)
- Giddyup.

- I love you.
- I love you, too.

(SHOUTING STOPS)

(CHOIR SINGING)

The water's fine.

- (BARREL SPLASHES)
- It's a prank.

The water's safe. It's a stupid prank.

Trust me.

Do you accept Jesus Christ
as your Lord and savior?

What?

Do you accept Jesus Christ
as your Lord and savior?

Yes.

Then I baptize you, Kevin Garvey,

in the name of the Father, the
Son, and the Holy Spirit,

buried in the likeness of his death

and raised in the likeness
of his resurrection.

(CHOIR SINGING)

He is saved.

(PEOPLE CHEERING)

That didn't count.

Want me to put the air on, dry you out?

That's very funny.

Those kids with Evie on their shirts,

they were telling the truth
about what happened.

On the morning of October
15th, three years ago,

there was an unexpected gas
leak at the visitor center.

As the result of a cigarette being lit

by a member of the Guilty Remnant

who were occupying the center
at the time, the gas ignited

and the building and the people
inside were incinerated.

We pray for the families
of those that were lost.

And that's the story, Tommy.

But it's bullshit.

How'd you know the
water wasn't poisoned?

I just knew.

That's bullshit, too.

- (g*nsh*t)
- Oh, sh*t!

(TIRES SCREECH)

(sh**ting CONTINUES)

- (g*n CLICKING)
- f*ck!

(g*nsh*t)

Tommy!

- Tommy!
- (g*nsh*t)

You changed, you son of a bitch.

(g*nsh*t)

(PANTING)

I got him. (PANTING)

MAN ON BULLHORN: Folks,
this is a crime scene.

- (SIREN WAILING)
- Stay behind the yellow tape.

(CHATTER)

Let me bum one of those.

You have to talk to someone.

I gave Billy my statement.

No. You gotta talk to a shrink.

I was just doing my job. I'm fine.

I was just doing my job
when I k*lled someone.

It still f*cked me up. You gotta talk.
Talking helps.

You k*lled someone?

- (g*nsh*t)
- (SCREAMS)

(BODY THUDS)

Yeah.

A, um... a woman.

I had to.

She, um, you know... she had
armed security with her

and I... well, I k*lled them, too.

- (DOG BARKING)
- MAN: Hey, get away from there!

- (GROWLING)
- Stinkin' mutt!

It's a sandwich.

(CHUCKLES)

(TV PLAYING)

(DOOR CLOSES)

- Hey.
- Hi.

What's going on?

Can I tell him?

Mary's leaving.

She and Noah are going back to Mapleton.

What?

Well, when?

Now. Tonight.

We've got a flight out of Austin.

For how long?

Ever, Kevin.

We're going forever.

Uh, I don't... I don't understand.

Without Matt?

All of those years that
he took care of you?

He loves you.

(SIGHS)

Did you know that Matt won't
let me cross the city limits?

He thinks if I go over that bridge,

the magical spell that woke
me from my slumber will break

and I'll go back into a coma.

Listen, I know Matt
can get carried away,

but his heart's in the right place.

He's writing a book about you.

He what?

A book.

He thinks the New
Testament's getting old.

I've only read some of it,

but you figure fairly
prominently, Kevin.

- Did you know about this?
- No, I did not.

He got pretty excited when
you rose from the dead.

Where the f*ck is he?

Chief.

Can you give us a second, Michael?
I gotta talk to Matt.

He knows.

What do I know?

- Michael.
- He knows, Matt.

(SIGHS) Was it Mary?

Or whatever she said? She's
very upset right now.

- She just, um...
- Where's the book?

Can we just take a moment here?

You don't even know what
it is you're asking for.

Am I in it?

Yes.

Is it about my life?

Yes.

Just give it to me.

I can't. There's only one copy.

- Written by hand.
- I don't care how many copies there are.

'Cause whatever little story
you're making up is bullshit.

I'm not making anything up.
It's all true.

It all happened.

It's still happening.

(DOOR OPENS)

Brought y'all some supper.

What's going on?

Well, John, I'm glad you asked,

'cause what's going on is Matt and your
son are writing a gospel about me.

Oh.

"Oh"?

I sh*t you in the chest...

point-blank.

- (CHOIR SINGING)
- And you got up,

walked back into town,

didn't even go to the
hospital until the next day.

MATT: You tried to drown yourself

and an earthquake saved your life.

MICHAEL: You drank poison.

I buried you and you went
to the other place...

and came back.

You told them about the, uh, hotel?

It seemed important.

I'm not, um... (CHUCKLES)

I can die.

Of course you can.

Just not here.

What?

Here.

You can't die here in Miracle.

And that twisted bullshit, Matt,

is why your wife is taking
your son and leaving you.

"If you come to me, but
will not leave your family,

you cannot be my follower."

Is that from your book?

- No, Kevin. That's Jesus.
- (SCOFFS)

- Well, I'm not f*cking Jesus.
- I'm not saying you are,

but, uh, the beard looks good on you.

- (GRUNTS)
- JOHN: Go get the book!

Where the f*ck is the book, Michael?

MATT: No, no, no! He's not ready.

- He'll destroy it!
- JOHN: No, he won't.

The f*ck I won't, John!

JOHN: All right, then so be it.

Him I understand, but you?
Come on, John.

Well, we can't just be
going through all of this

for nothing, man.

You're going through this
because your daughter d*ed.

We don't know that!

We don't know that.

KEVIN: What?

I'm supposed to believe she's gone

just because they say her
dental records match?

- Y-yes.
- No.

No, man!

Evie did it before.

Maybe she did it again.

(DOOR OPENS)

I am trusting you with this, and I
know you'll do the right thing.

I haven't put your baptism in yet,

but it's pretty much up-to-date.

You're insane.

There's, um, glass in your hair.

(COOING)

I was worried you had forgotten.

Don't usually get so
many so close together.

Love is in the air.

Um, a little extra for your trouble.

Sarah, does the name Kevin
mean anything to you?

No.

I need to go to Australia. It's for work.

You mind if I borrow this?
I need something to read on the plane.

You busting my balls?

- Can holy balls be busted?
- (CHUCKLES)

On the seventh anniversary,
a great flood will come.

- You're scared.
- I am.

I have 20,000 dollars in cash
dropped in my pocket.

You have anything else
you want to tell me about?

Maybe.

Everything in my life
I've done for a reason.

There has to be a reason.

Why?

My daughter might still be alive.

Tell me I'm crazy.

These are crazy times.

Storm's coming.
