02x03 - Gerry's Return

[bunniefuu]

Richard will die in the big house.

- He's free as long as you bring me Walsh.
- Deal.

Looks like you're going to Beacon.

Terminate Walsh. I'll
take care of the traitor.

I noticed I'm missing a finger.

What the [bleep]

This is wrong!

I will find a very special
job for you, Gerry.

Hey, pretty lady. Aah!

Gerry.

I hate getting maced.

Yeah, I know, Gerry, everyone does.

But that's what you get
for creeping up on me...

and at night?

Sorry, but... Oh, yeah, it still hurts.

Yeah, yeah, stay down.

Where were you?

We were supposed to meet at
the diner to talk about us.

Gerry, I showed up.

But I was just at the diner.
And you weren't there!

What? You were there just now?

Yeah. Like we said.

I waited almost an hour.

No, no. Gerry, we were supposed
to meet four days ago.

Four days? No.

If it's been four days,
then my beard would've...

My beard grew.

Lost time.

I lost mother-effing time!

Do you realize what this means?

- You were abducted?
- I was abducted!

We got to get the group back together!

It is back together.

Wow! That's good news.

What a difference four days makes.

Uh, yeah, it is good news for you,

but it's bad news for us...

You know my whole thing about
dating other experiencers...

You don't date other experiencers...

Ohh. I'm an experiencer.

Yes. Yep.

Somebody stole your finger?

Not my finger.

A finger.

Well, uh, check out the lost and found.

We got sunglasses, got a

Sorry. No finger.

[Cellphone rings]

Hey, I got your text.

Yeah, we should get
together and catch up.

I'm starting to feel ready to
show my face in public again.

Let's meet at the abandoned
construction site

on the north side?

The one that's about / mile

from the taco place with
the -foot churros.

I'll text you the time. Great.

I think I'm done.

Hey!

Not bad, Glimmer.

That was fun.

That was my first time ironing a face.

Remember, I get two hours with him,

then you arrest him.

- Sound fair?
- I'm sorry,

was it fair that Walsh
stole thousands of dollars

- So an hour?

Was it fair that he lived
on a yacht he bought

with people's life savings?

- Half an hour?
- That's fine.

- Thank you.
- But I have to be there.

All right, but I think you're
gonna be disappointed.

I'm just gonna be talking
to him about alien stuff.

Sure. Whatever. Fine.

I'll set it up and I'll text you later.

"I'll text you later"?

No. This isn't an online date, Ozzie.

I'm sure that line works
with your various "Ambers"

and all your little
"Tiffanis" and whatnot,

but I'm not letting you out of my sight,

until I get Walsh.

Ozzie: If you're gonna
follow me to group,

you might as well
handcuff yourself to me.

I feel like you're flirting
with me right now,

and I want you to know
it's just not the time.

Not flirting. Never the time.

Unh-unh.

Hey, why's there a cake?

Gerry: I brought the cake.

- Gerry!
- Oh, Gerry!

- Gerry!
- Hey! Gerry's back!

- Yeah. Yep, I see him.
- Welcome.

Gerry, where ya been, man?!

Indeed, Kelly. Where have I been.

Who here has been on a spaceship?

Please show your hands.

Ka-bam! That's right!

I'm officially a member of StarCrossed.

Wow. Gerry, please, sit.

We really honor your excitement,

and... and I don't want
to "dis your bliss."

Sometimes you want something so bad

that you think it's actually real.

Like... Like a hysterical
pregnancy, or...

No, Gina, it's real.

I'm having all the classic symptoms

of an abduction... Headaches.

An uncontrollable craving
for citrus fruits.

Random nosebleeds.

- It's great!
- It seems great,

but if it is in fact true,
then you have a long,

therapeutic journey ahead of you.

Exactly. I'm excited.

Which is why I have to
find a sponsor ASAP.

[Exhales]

Kelly, before I cross you off the list,

- can I ask you a question?
- No, just take me off the list.

Very well.

Do you think that we are far
enough away from Beacon?

I don't think there's
anyone we know here.

That's why I made the reservation

under "Susannah Marmalade."

[Chuckles] It's clever.

Should we order some wine,
or are you sick of wine?

Because priests drink a lot of wine.

We... Uh, to be honest,
I'm more of a beer guy.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Oh, see, I didn't know that.

Okay, now you ask me something.

Okay. Um... how did you
meet your husband?

Is that weird?

- No, no, it's okay.
- Are you sure?

Yep. Um...

we met at the Miss Connecticut Pageant.

I was a runner-up.

What was your talent?

Speed painting.

I would've loved to have seen that.

Do you want to hear something silly?

- What?
- Before I was married,

I wanted to become a...

A veterinarian.

Okay. That's not silly.

You'd make a great veterinarian.

Really?

Margaret... you're an

That's why you can't be my sponsor.

Well, I just don't know where

Let's not rehash this argument.

Okay. Oh, hello.

Sorry, I don't have you on my list.

Are you a new member?

No. No, I'm... I'm not a member.

I'm a Special Agent with the FBI.

- Alex Foster.
- FBI, huh?

Are you here to
investigate my abduction?

- Who kidnapped you?
- Aliens.

Then no.

No. I'm here to find Jonathan Walsh.

This one thinks that Walsh is
a "white-collar criminal."

But, Gerry, you were right...
He's a reptilian.

I saw his lizardy, reptilian face.

Also, Ozzie and I discovered

that we might all have
been abducted as kids.

- We're lifers.
- We are?

Well, no, no. Everyone but you.

Oh, come on! That's not fair.

I finally get abducted,

and now you're telling me
you guys were, like...

- extra abducted?
- I'm really sorry, Gerry.

- It wasn't our choice.
- No, apology not accepted.

Today is my day, and damn it,

I'm getting the full deal.

Gina.

Hypnotize me.

- Oh, okay. That's fair.
- I-I can't see anything.

Move. Move over. I want to see this.

Come on.

Well, I had a great time.

Yeah, me, too.

Yeah.

I guess it's good night.

Yep. I guess so.

Gonna get in my car.

You should get in your car.

We'll drive our separate ways.

- Yep.
- Okay.

Okay, so, we'll get a
room and keep talking.

Yep. Just talk.

Gerry, focus on my finger.

Oh, she's really doing it.

You know, hypnosis has been debunked.

I-I'm sorry, but I don't
walk into your FBI office

and tell you how to do your FBI things.

You're right. I'm very sorry.

- Thank you.
- I mean, this is crazy,

and it has been debunked. But go ahead.

I know that you think
that hypnosis is fake,

but it really can unlock
the mysteries of the mind

when it's used by a skilled therapist...
and that's me.

So, prepare to have your
mind blown, Agent Foster.

Yeah... by my mind.

Nine, eight, seven, six...

[Snoring]

- Has Walsh texted yet?
- Shh!

Please. Thank you.

Okay, Gerry, where are you?

- I'm in my car.
- Good.

It stopped! Wait.

Oh, no! Bright lights!

Is it a spaceship?

It's a truck.

Someone's getting out. A nice man.

[Ken's voice] Looks like you broke down.

A mechanic. He offers to fix my car.

He takes me to a... cabin.

- Oh, my God.
- I'm sorry, what are...

What are... What are we doing h...

- I'm just... I'm confused.
- I honestly don't know.

It sounds a little more like
the start of a fairy tale.

Okay, you know what? You
have to be patient, okay?

This is a birthing process.

Everybody's story takes its time.

And Gerry's will come
out when it's ready.

Gerry's very fragile
mind is in my hands,

and we really need to focus.

Gerry, what's happening in the cabin?

Gerry: The old man's wife is there.

She brings me nachos.

Don: Delicious nachos.

Delicious nachos for Gerry.

Nachos for Gerry. Nachos for Gerry.

He shows me a board game.

He says, "Would you like to play?"

I roll a .

He says...

You are special.

- Oh, my God. That's... Oh.
- Okay.

- Oh, my God. I got chills.
- That's it. That's it.

- Now we're getting somewhere.
- Why is that a big deal?

Because that's what the
aliens always said...

"You are special." They
said it to all of us.

Richard: Yeah.

What... What dream?

To get out of Beacon.

And you did it.

I'm proud of you.

But what are you doing here?

I'm here for the... baptism.

Oh, okay.

Uh, are you two together?

No, I'm in town for...

a horse surgery. I'm a veterinarian.

And I will be paying in cash.

- Two separate rooms.
- Sure, yeah, I can do that.

Gerry, you're making progress,

but you're still in the cover memory.

What's really going on?

I miss Yvonne.

The people are nice, this game is fun...

but I can't stop thinking about Yvonne,

and how much I care about her.

Okay, so...

Gerry, I'm just gonna ask you right now

if you could just, please,
just focus on the cabin.

Like that time we made love.

It was so tender.

- That...
- That's... specific.

And then we made love again.

Oh, m... Okay.

I have to go to the
bathroom, but I'm gonna...

Is this normal for you guys,

just sit in a church and talk about sex?

Man on TV: Hundreds

women's marches around the world...

Okay, Nancy, I'm almost done
with your neural network.

...marching for women's
rights, reproductive rights

and gender equality in the workplace.

It was the largest single-day
protest in America.

I just need to connect this here...

[Electricity crackles, powers down]

Whoops.

...to the strength of our communities.

- The feminist movement is now...
- Oh, that goes there.

Oh, okay, good. I was worried.

But I think I erased
half your programming.

How do you feel?

I feel amazing.

I don't need you to do
anything else for me.

In fact, take your hands off me.

...realizing that only they can
create the change they seek.

Wait, I was just trying to help.
What's come over you?

Women are taking matters
into their own hands...

- Glimmer: Hey. ...And
- advocating for their equality.

Uh, remember when I told you

that I used to have a
lot of gambling debts?

- Yeah.
- Well... Well, they're back.

A-And I just want to say that
I-I wouldn't have done this

unless they offered a lot of money.

What did you do?

"Friend" is not a word
that I take lightly...

- Glimmer!
- I told them where you are.

"Them"? Which "them"?

The bad them.

But I'm giving you a head
start, which is good.

Head start. How much time do I have?

I have a gambling disease, right,

and it's really bad, and
I can't control it...

- minutes.
- minutes!

Starting timer... minutes.

Calculating escape routes.

Probability of survival... %.

Higher if I wasn't wearing heels.

Gerry?

You're coming back, Gerry.

Whoa. That was wild.
