01x13 - Memento Mori

[bunniefuu]

Dad. Dad! Dad!

- Okay. Watch it. Come on.
- Dad.

HAMID: Dinah. Dinah?

I need your help.
He needs your help.

- Please, he's barely breathing.
- Who is this man?

- I'll explain it later.
- What have you brought to our door?

- He needs a doctor. Please.
- MICRO: Please.

- Put him on the bed.
- BOTH: Thank you.

- Do you know who that man is?
- Everything else can wait.

- MICRO: One, two, three.
- How did he get these injuries?

- Stay back.
- He was beaten.

He was tortured.

- Hold on to this.
- Okay.

He's not what they say.

(IN FARSI) "They"? Who are they?

The people you work for?
The government?

(IN ENGLISH) I made a choice.

(IN FARSI) Seems you've made it
for all of us.

- (IN ENGLISH) We're breaking the law.
- We're not, yet.

- HAMID: Farah.
- Technically.

Darling.

(IN FARSI) We know better than most,

sometimes a criminal's
a freedom fighter.

(IN ENGLISH) Yes.
But we didn't take sides.

- (GAGGING)
- Whoa. What's happening? Frank!

What's happening?

HAMID: He has
a severe trauma to the chest.

I think he has a broken rib
that has punctured his lung.

It causes tension pneumothorax.

If we don't treat it,
your friend will die.

MICRO: What do we do?

- HAMID: Give me that.
- (CHOKING)

Frank? Frank?
He can't breathe.

DINAH: sh*t.

MICRO: Please, please,
please, please, please.

(GASPS)

- (COUGHING)
- HAMID: That's it.

- MICRO: Oh, thank God.

(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

(BLOOD PRESSURE CUFF PUMPING)

His volume is increased,
thanks to you.

And his breathing is
much better now.

Just matter of time.

Madani. (SIGHS)

Where's Russo?
Did you get him?

Uh, no. He got away.

MARION: Tell you what.

Looks like he got
hit by a train.

I can't find it in my heart
to have much sympathy.

Any word from Madani?

No.

MARION: Russo's running amok
and your pet agent just disappeared

with the most wanted man
in New York.

- (RAFI SIGHS) We don't know that.
- Don't we?

(SIGHS)

I think purple might be your color.

- (SCOFFS)
- Really matches your eyes.

Look, uh... (CLEARS THROAT)

Got you a little something.

It's kind of like
a thank you for after.

Where'd you get this?

Well, same as everything.

(IMITATES TYPING)
(CHUCKLES)

It's a lot of money right there.

Yeah, well, I...
I stole it from bad guys, you know.

Learned that from you.

You had access to money like this,
you made us live in that sh*thole?

Use it.

Get out of the city.

Have a life.
You've done enough, yeah?

I've gotta finish this, right?

How do you feel?

I feel like sh*t.

- Frank...
- I think we, um...

(CLICKS TONGUE) Let's not, you know?

- Where's the van?
- Uh, it's where we left it.

- Where we agreed.
- Okay.

Madani, I appreciate
everything you did here.

You know.

I apologize if I caused you or...
you know, your family any grief.

Well, the good thing is, so much sh*t

just exploded that everyone stinks.

But they'll be coming.

You should take Lieberman's
little gift and disappear, fast.

You don't have a monopoly on
payback, Castle.

Could just keep hold of these.

Yeah.

(FRANK GRUNTS)

If I ever see you again
after you walk...

out of this door,
then all bets are off.

I will take you in,
or I will sh**t you down.

I'll see you around, Madani.

DINAH: Don't waste
the chance I've given you.

(SIGHS)

RAFI: Dinah, you let Castle go.
Please don't pretend differently.

It took two men painted as
criminals and traitors

to do what none of you
was willing to do.

- We didn't know.
- Bullshit.

You didn't want to know.

Castle risked his life to give us
all the evidence we'd ever need.

Where's Castle?
Where did you take him?

I was taking him into custody
when he overpowered me and escaped.

(SIGHS) The man looked half dead.

- Maybe he was faking.
- Dinah, cut the sh*t.

You assisted a wanted t*rror1st
in his escape.

Did I?

We all need to be wary of
accusations without proof.

Like, say, someone accusing
a decorated CIA official

of running an illegal heroin
operation and assassination program.

Or that government departments
colluded to keep it quiet.

RAFI: Dinah...

- What have you done here?
- I did what was right.

Now, you have a choice.
You can arrest...

me or you can let me do my job.

Do you know where they are, Dinah?

No.

But maybe that's for the best, Rafi.

I mean,
do you really want either of

them in custody,
telling their story?

She's not wrong, Rafi.

Go and start writing up your
report on the raid, all of this.

You do anything else,
you're finished here. Am I clear?

Yes, sir.

- MARION: She's a piece of work.
- Yes, she is.

I think I like her.

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

(DOOR OPENS)

I... (WHISPERS) Oh. Hi.

Home sweet home.

(CHUCKLING) Yeah, right?

SARAH: Where were you?

You know, you can't just disappear
like that. I was worried sick.

(INHALES SHARPLY) Yeah, yeah, yeah,

yeah. Well, I'm back, you know.
And...

- (SARAH SCOFFS)
- It's okay.

Is it?

I...

It's gonna be, like,
a readjustment period, obviously, but...

Couple days.

(SIGHS)

(SIGHS)

How's Frank?

He's alive.

Ah.

He's gone.

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

Looking for this?

(GRUNTS)

How you doing, Billy?

I've had better days.

Yeah. I've seen you on the news.

"Armed and dangerous."

They have no idea, huh?

Wilson kid do that to your face?

Yeah.

Still... I'm getting old.

Figured the scars will just
give me character.

What do you think?

I think I'd have sh*t the little
bastard before he got the chance.

Yeah, yeah, of course.
Go ahead.

(GRUNTS)

(SIGHS) Wow, Billy.
You look ready for action.

Well, I got a few scores to settle.

Is that why you're here?

No.

No. You've done me no wrong,
as far as I know.

I got a couple of
questions for you, though.

How long did you know
Frank was alive?

Hmm?

Did you know back when we were
getting drunk at his grave?

Yeah.

Hmm.

So, one of my friends is
trying to k*ll me,

and the other one has been
lying to me this whole time.

Man, that sh*t hurts.

Billy, you did some
really bad sh*t.

- You need to get help, brother.
- Is that right?

What you want me to do?

You want me to come sit in
your little circle, share...

tell stories, talk about...

how I got myself
all turned around?

Did you, Billy?
Did you get turned around?

No.

You mind if I make some coffee?

Sure.

I could use a cup myself.

I kept Frank's secret
because he asked me to.

And I would have done
the same thing for you.

And you know what
the crazy thing is?

Frank didn't want you
to know he was...

alive because he wanted to
protect you.

(BILLY SCOFFS) Frank is a dumb,
stubborn son of a bitch.

(STAMMERS) None of us needs to be
in this situation.

You wanna blame somebody for this...

you blame him.

What?

Come on. Who gives a sh*t? dr*gs?

They're gonna come in somehow,
might as well be us.

And what,
we k*lled a couple Afghans.

That's all they do.

They k*ll each other.

I was never hurting him.

You know, you two...
You two are almost exactly alike.

There's just one difference.

Frank would never
betray a brother.

Yeah, well...

that's why I'm here, Curtis.

I'm gonna make you
betray a brother.

Where's Frank?

So what?
You gonna k*ll me with my own g*n?

Nah.

I'll probably just sh**t you in your

good leg a bunch until you tell me.

Hmm.

(g*n FIRES)

(g*n FIRES)

You peg-leg bastard!

God damn it.

(GROANS)

(PANTING)

(g*n FIRES)

You there?

Come on, don't tell me
I k*lled you now.

(BREATHING HEAVILY) Yeah, I'm here.

I'm gonna be honest...
I'm taking this kinda personally.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Well, I wonder who that could be.

Go ahead, answer it.

Answer it!

(CELL PHONE CONTINUES RINGING)

Yeah.

FRANK: You all right?

Took one in the shoulder.
Bleeding pretty bad.

Put him on. Go on.

He wants to talk to you.

Now, if I give you this phone,
are you gonna sh**t me?

Not right now.

Do you promise?

I'm not the one's been lying
all this time, Curtis.

Send it over.

(GRUNTS)

Frank.

sh*t, we know each other so well,
we saw each other coming.

Let's end this, Bill, hmm?
No one else needs to get hurt.

I will happily hurt
everyone you ever

gave a sh*t about
until I get to you.

You want me, come get me.
I'm right here.

Let him go, Bill.

I'll let you walk out that door.
I give you my word.

That still means something.

Now that's easy for you to say.

You got the higher ground
and all the advantages.

So maybe I just stay here,
wait for Curt to bleed out.

FRANK: Then my next
call is to Homeland.

Come on, Bill.
Let's just finish it, you and me.

Any way you want.

All right.

I'm gonna trust you.

Soon as I hear that magazine and
cartridge eject from your r*fle.

Okay.

You happy?

Let's meet tonight.
Midnight.

How about by your painted
ponies, Frankie?

How you feel about that?

Finish this
where it all started.

Call yourself an ambulance.
My word means something, too.

- (GIRL CHUCKLING)
- MAN: Honey, look.

Wanna give it a sh*t?

(CHUCKLING) They're gonna be
too old for this.

Ah, stop that.

- They're growing up fast.
- Yeah.

BILLY: Yo! Yo!

Come get it while it's hot!

- MARIA: Look at these two.
- FRANK: Yeah.

Two peas in a pod.

Hey, you.

- Hey, back.
- Hey.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

LISA: Can I get a real horse now?

I'm just saying, little Frank,
I think...

it shows a lack of imagination.

I mean, your dad is
a good guy and all.

I just think he could have
named you something different.

FRANK JR.: You hear Uncle Billy?

It's impossible not to hear
your Uncle Billy, bud.

He talks very loud
and very often.

See, now, I was named after
the most famous outlaw that ever lived.

Oh, Jesse James?

(CHUCKLES MOCKINGLY) No.
Billy the Kid.

And Billy the Kid was
the fastest g*n in the West.

He was an orphan just like me,
from New York.

Then he went out West
and he survived on

nothing but his wits
and his bravery,

and nobody could catch him,
'cause he was too smart and too badass.

- (CHUCKLES)
- Then what happened?

Pissed off the wrong people.
They k*lled him for it.

Don't listen. Your father has
no sense of the romantic.

- Just ask your mother.
- (LAUGHS)

What? He was betrayed by
his friend for money and fame.

- That sucks.
- It does suck.

About the worst thing in
this world that can happen.

- Uncle Bill...
- Mm-hmm?

If you were an orphan,
how do you know...

you were named after Billy the Kid?

(FRANK AND MARIA CHUCKLE)

FRANK: Attagirl. Well done.

Lisa... you are way too smart
to be your dad's kid.

(ALL LAUGHING)

I do not know the answer to that.

Aw!

This is all the family you need.
Right here.

- Oh, thanks. That's nice.
- (LAUGHS)

(SCREAM ECHOES)

MICRO: There you go.

LEO: Do you have any queens?

- Take 'em.
- (CHUCKLES)

- ZACH: Do you have any nines?
- LEO: Go fish.

ZACH: Dang.

I'll take those nines of yours now.

- (CHUCKLES)
- Thank you.

You guys know anybody else
that's ever been in a safe house?

- Who'd want to?
- (CHUCKLES) Yeah.

We gonna be here long?

MICRO: Uh... No.

(SIGHS) More like a sh*t house.

(SNICKERS)
(CHUCKLES)

(CHUCKLES)

LEO: Okay. Zach, do you...

Hey, you know what, kiddos, um,

I gotta talk to your dad
about something important.

Can you play without him for a second?
Come here.

- No.
- Okay.

All right.
I'll be right back.

- Play on your own.
- Any eights?

- You just cheated! (LAUGHS)
- Says the cheater.

- ZACH: Give me 'em. Thank you.
- LEO: Okay.

- Come here.
- Look...

I don't think I can just...

(SARAH MOANS)

(SARAH BREATHING HEAVILY) Yeah.

(SARAH PANTING)

- (GRUNTS)
- Shh!

(BOTH MOANING)

Ah, ah, no, hold on,
hold on, hold on. (CHUCKLES)

(BOTH BREATHING HEAVILY)

(CHUCKLES)
(LAUGHS)

sh*t, sorry.

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

(BOTH BREATHING HEAVILY)

Oh, I missed you.
I missed you.

I missed you.

WOMAN: Had a good time?

- BOY: Yeah.
- WOMAN: Good.

(CHUCKLING)

Carl, stop.
Come on, seriously, stop.

Just take this, okay?

All right, come on.
We have to finish

packing up before
Mr. Pritchard gets back.

Carl, I'm serious.
He's gonna be so pissed if he finds us.

Yeah, like he's gonna show up right now.

- We have the place all to ourselves.
- Oh, very romantic.

- You're so bad.
- (BOTH CHUCKLE)

Excuse me, guys.
Sorry for the interruption.

You shouldn't be back here, mister.

I was wondering
if you could help me with something.

(TYPING)

(CELL PHONE VIBRATING)

Jesus, Frank.

- (ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)
- RAFI: Dinah.

Dinah!

(HAYLEY SOBBING)
(MUFFLED YELLING)

(CELL PHONE VIBRATING)

Yeah?

BILLY: You out there, Frankie?

Yeah, of course you are.

They're bleeding out.

- (MUFFLED SCREAMING)
- Remind me how it goes again.

Ticktock, ticktock, right?

Guess two more kids are
gonna die for you.

- (MUFFLED) Help!
- (MUFFLED SCREAMING)

(GRUNTS)

(FRANK SCREAMING)

(HAYLEY AND CARL CONTINUE SCREAMING)

(GRUNTS)

(MUFFLED SCREAMING)

(SCREAMING CONTINUES)

(SHRIEKS)

Guys like us, Frank, we need this!

It's all we're good for.

Just a couple of assholes who thought

we could have the good things in life.

But we are not good people, Frank.

We never were!

(HAYLEY CRYING)

What happens when we're dead?

(CRYING)

BILLY: Nothing.

Who mourns us, huh?

Nobody.

Me and you,
Frankie... we're the same.

(GRUNTS)

(GRUNTS)

(GROANING)

(SCREAMING)

(b*llet CLATTERS)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

All right, that's enough, Frank!

I said that's enough of this sh*t!

(FRANK BREATHING HEAVILY)
(MUFFLED YELLING)

(PANTING)

BILLY: You come out.

You come out where I can see you,

or I k*ll these kids right now.

(HAYLEY WHIMPERS)

You beg.

You beg my friend Frank

to come out and save
your lives right now!

Beg!

- (WAILING)
- CARL: Just do it. Please.

(CRYING) Do what he says, please.

Please just do it.

Bill... let 'em go.

Lose the g*n, Frank.

Toss the g*n, nice and far!

(HAYLEY CONTINUES CRYING)

FRANK: Okay.

Kn*fe, too.

(CARL SNIFFLES) What are you doing?

Shut up,
or I put a b*llet in you right now!

(BREATHING HEAVILY) Bill... let 'em go.

Bill... let them go.

Attachments are a weakness, Frank.

I never had anybody.

(FRANK GRUNTS)

(BREATHING HEAVILY) You had us, Bill.

The Punisher?

What a crock of sh*t.

You always did care too g*dd*mn much.

CARL: Please, lady.

(HAYLEY YELLS)
(FRANK SHOUTS)

(BOTH GRUNTING)

(FRANK YELLING)

(BILLY GROANING)

(BOTH GRUNTING)

(BOTH STRAINING)

(FRANK SCREAMING)

(BILLY GRUNTING)

Look at yourself.

Pathetic.

(GRUNTS AND GROANS)

(BILLY GRUNTS)

(GROANS)

(FRANK MUTTERING)

(GASPS)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(YELLING)

(GROANS)

(GRUNTS)

No, no!

(SCREAMING)

(GRUNTING)

(FRANK BREATHING HEAVILY)
(GROANING)

(GAGGING)

k*ll me.

(GRUNTS) Do it!

(BILLY GRUNTS)

I'm not gonna let you die today.

Please.

Dying's easy.

(BILLY GASPS)

You're gonna learn about pain.

(BILLY GROANS)

You're gonna learn about loss.

(GASPING)

Every morning...
I look for 'em, Bill.

I look for 'em...
but then I remember.

It's gonna be the same for you.

When you look at your
ugly, m*nled face,

you're gonna remember what you did.

You'll remember, Bill.

(GRUNTS)
(BREATHING HEAVILY)

You're gonna remember me! (YELLING)

(PANTING)

Yeah.

(HAYLEY CRYING)

Help us.

Please, please, please.

(CRYING) Please.

(SIRENS WAILING IN THE DISTANCE)

God damn it, Madani.

I got you.

I got you.

(SIRENS WAILING)

Thank you.

RAFI: Uncuff him.

Thank you.

Well, you took a b*llet to
the head and you're still kicking.

(MUMBLES) Never cease to
amaze, Madani.

Maybe that b*llet was
meant for me, huh?

But you saved my life.

It would be a shame for us
to take that from you.

- You got a pass, Mr. Castle.
- Pass?

The country owes you a debt
it can never repay.

And for that, I am sorry.

(STAMMERS) What are you sorry for?
Is it the debt or is it the pass?

What is this, a payoff?
You want me to keep my mouth shut?

Pretty much.

We've redirected the narrative
for recent events.

Lewis Wilson and Russo

are the only suspects
anyone needs right now.

You're officially still at large...

but we wiped your prints and DNA

from the criminal justice system

and replaced them with
those of a dead man.

We've done what we can
to give you your life back.

Pete Castiglione is a free man.

You were betrayed.

Some kind of justice was done,

and we hope that's enough for you.

I tell ya, I'm surprised
you didn't just k*ll me.

You must have thought
about it, right?

This is what Dinah wanted for you.

The men I wanted have
all been punished.

And maybe knowing where the bodies
are buried is a good thing.

Enjoy your freedom, Mr. Castle.

Though I do wonder what freedom
means to a man like you.

(SCOFFS) Pleasure.

What about Russo?
What happened?

Kept him under the Kn*fe
for 11 hours.

He should live,

but they have no idea
if he'll ever

regain significant
brain function,

or to what degree.

He could wake up
tomorrow or never.

Remember everything,
or not even his own name.

DINAH: I hope he does.

I hope he remembers everything.

So that when I stand
in front of him...

he knows I played my part.

SARAH: Smell that.

- LEO: Oh, that smell.
- ZACH: So good.

You guys, come here.

- LEO: Oh, coming, coming.
- (GRUNTS)

- LEO: Oh, that looks so good.
- Yeah.

ZACH: Oh, my God!
This is gonna be great, Mom.

SARAH: Hold it.

- LEO: Oh, my God.
- SARAH: You put it over there, Leo.

Three days of depositions
and testimony...

and walking Homeland
through all that stuff,

and I'm, like,
just thinking about this moment, right?

Now, I'm...

(CHUCKLES)

Oh!

I'm nervous.

(SIGHS)

(CHUCKLES)

- Am I being an assh*le here?
- Yeah.

(LAUGHING)

Yeah.

Okay.

- All right, let's do this.
- David, I'm not coming.

You know... You know why I can't.

(SCOFFS)

Do it, buddy.

(ENGINE STARTS)

(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

- They're here. Come on.
- Okay.

(SNIFFLES)

(ZACH AND LEO GIGGLING)

- Hi.
- Dad!

Hi.

(SIGHS)

Where's Pete?

Come on.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

Curt. How's it going?

You know what, Frank?

I've come to the
conclusion that you are

a sh*t magnet of
the highest order.

(CHUCKLES) Yeah, well...
you might be right, Curt.

Might be right.

(SIGHS) You sure about this?

Yeah, I'm sure. It's time.

You're safe here, Frank.

We keep each other's secrets.

That's the only way this works.

You know,
long as I was at w*r...

you know,
I never thought about, uh,

what would happen next.

What I was gonna do
when it was over.

But I guess that's it, you know.

I think that might be
the hardest part, the silence.

The silence when
the g*nf*re ends.

How do...

How do you live in that?

I guess... (SIGHS)

I guess that's what
you're trying to figure out, huh?

It's what you guys are doing.

You're working on it.

I respect that.

I just...

Um...

If you're gonna look at yourself,

really look in the mirror,
you gotta...

yeah, you gotta admit who you are.

But not just to yourself, you gotta...
admit it to everybody else.

(SIGHS)

First time, as long as I can remember,
I don't have a w*r to fight.

And I guess,
if I'm gonna be honest, I just...

I'm scared.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
