01x10 - The Dead Come Back

[bunniefuu]

Abel says

there's a swamp monster.

[Jess] Well,

you don't know this place.

There's stuff there

bad stuff.

It was our eggs.

They took our eggs.

Some of us got infected.

Some of us became sterile.

[Mary] It's not her.

The body in Minnesota.

It's someone else.

She's not dead.

[Rose] She already hurt

a girl here. Jess Cairns.

She will never hurt

anyone else again.

[Emma] I'm making sense

of things,

and I'm starting to remember.

Can you tell me about Theresa?

[both grunt]

You think I'm gonna let you

keep his baby?

Before it was you and him,

it was me and him,

and it's always

gonna be me and him.

[theme music playing]

[suspenseful music playing]

[breathing heavily]

It's okay.

-[sushing]

-[groaning]

No, no, no.

[both groan]

That won't help you.

Get away from me.

I'll k*ll you. I'll k*ll you!

I will tear you to pieces!

Quiet, quiet, quiet.

[screams]

[panting]

I just want to talk to you.

Okay?

And then

And then I'm I'm gonna go.

[breathing heavily]

It doesn't have to be so bad,

okay?

Just tell me

what I want to know.

[breathes deeply]

Okay?

[chuckles]

[spits]

[groans]

Hey, hey. Just open your eye.

-Alright? [sushing]

-[muffled scream]

Let me get in this peeper.

Okay. Okay, that's good,

that's good.

That's good.

People with nothing to hide

don't wear lenses, Emma-Karen.

[breathing shakily]

[grunts]

No!

[sighs]

[voice muffled]

You don't have any options

[spits]

Emma-Karen.

This will all be so much easier

if you just

relax.

You want to start?

My boss has a lot

of questions for you.

Your boss?

So, you took

Mrs. Barlow's daughter,

and you k*lled her

with your boyfriend?

-No.

-Yeah. You did.

You You helped him

with all of his women.

No. I never helped him.

Who are you?

Why are you doing this?

[spitting]

[coughs]

You've been lied to.

She doesn't lie.

Misled. She's misled you.

I loved Kit.

-I loved him.

-Mm-hmm.

That's all I did.

I never took her daughter.

-Oh, shut up.

-I didn't help him.

I didn't know.

I didn't do anything.

Shut up!

It's true.

Everything she's told you

about me

-It's her daughter.

-Shut up!

You don't have to

be this person.

You don't have to do this.

Yeah, but, look.

If I let you go,

you're gonna tell on me.

Yes, Emma-Karen, yes, you will.

You'll pick up the phone

the minute I walk out that door.

You're gonna call the police.

You're gonna say

what I look like and where I am,

and then they're gonna

put me back

in that stinking place again.

I won't do that.

I won't.

Because I know what it's like

to be on the inside

of that place

when you don't deserve to be.

I know that, John.

I wouldn't do that to you.

I wouldn't do that to you.

[shuddering]

Do you promise?

I promise.

That's a frightened promise.

[grunts]

Don't lie to me.

[brakes squeak]

[suspenseful music playing]

[metal creaking]

[floorboards creaking]

[Mary] Oh, my God.

Karen? Karen? Can you hear me?

[Kit] Karen?

Karen.

Look who I brought to see you.

[cries]

[Freya fusses]

Come with us.

We can be a family.

[Mary] Karen, can you hear me?

[sighs]

Karen, wake up.

He's here.

No, no one's here. It's just me.

[tape crinkling]

[floorboards creak]

He's here.

It's gonna be okay.

[crying] Don't leave.

Don't leave. No.

[suspenseful music continues]

[door latches]

[insects chirping]

[floorboards creak]

[breathing shakily]

[screams]

[dramatic music playing]

[g*nsh*t]

[dramatic music continues]

[dramatic music intensifies]

[both grunting]

[both breathing heavily]

[object thuds]

[Emma] Pick him up.

I can't.

Pick him up.

I can't touch him anymore.

[grunts]

You sent a r*pist

to hunt me down?

You were a monster.

I needed another one

to find you.

Yeah, well, you found me, too.

[chuckles]

[breathing heavily]

[grunts]

[door closes]

[lock clicks]

[sighs]

[Mary] Did you take her?

My daughter?

'Cause I can't go on

without knowing.

Tell me the truth.

[Emma] What do you think

I'm gonna do?

I'm a hair stylist.

[chuckles]

I

I braid and highlight

and cut bangs.

I don't m*rder and abduct women.

You can love someone

and not know.

Or you can love him

and love what he did.

I'm talking about you.

What?

You love your daughter.

You don't know anything

about her.

Everything you put

at my door everything

Everything you thought was me

was her.

You said you didn't know her.

She walked into my salon.

She'd been watching me.

[scoffs] So, you're the victim?

[Emma] You want

to know the truth?

She was with Kit

before he was with me.

Bullshit.

Your picture,

the gas station in Nevada,

that was them

falling in love.

-Bullshit!

-[g*nsh*t]

No cellphone, no credit card,

no bank withdrawals,

no contact with anyone

at anytime.

She didn't need it!

You think my daughter

just fell in love

and ran away

and didn't bother to call me?

You think I believe that

for a second?

That is not who she was!

That's who she became!

That's who she became.

[breathing shakily]

[Emma] Mary.

She's a m*rder*r.

She k*lled that missing girl.

Amy Walker. I walked in on it.

-I saw it.

-My daughter is a m*rder*r?

My daughter is the kindest girl

you would ever know.

You think I'm gonna believe that

for a minute?

You're just saying that

to save yourself.

She tried to k*ll me.

-She did.

-[scoffs]

And what happened that night,

it's what blocked my memories.

But they've come back to me now

[stammers] in pieces,

in these, like, nightmares.

If your daughter is still

out there, Mary,

God help anyone

who comes across her.

Don't say that.

Don't you say that.

Your daughter,

she's the monster.

She ruined my life.

You ruined your own life

when you fell for him.

All those people you talked to

about Theresa

did they tell you

what she would say?

How she How she tried to

quit swimming

and you wouldn't let her?

I didn't make her swim.

[Emma] No, you did. You did.

You liked being the booster.

You liked her being

[stammers] a champion.

For her.

Not for me.

She was 13 when it started.

She was eight.

You don't even have

your story straight.

I'm not talking about swimming.

And every time

she wanted to quit,

you made her go back.

You made her go back to it.

No.

No.

Not my daughter.

Not my daughter.

You think you lost her

seven years ago.

I think it was a long time

before that.

Go ask.

Ask Honey.

She said she left everything

with someone named Honey.

I don't know what that means.

All I know is I had

to fight for my life

because of your daughter.

Mary.

The truth is the only

way forward.

What you do,

your work,

it's about compassion.

Tell the truth, Mary.

Tell the truth.

[ominous music playing]

[birds chirping]

[crying]

[grunting]

[object thuds]

[grunts]

[panting]

[Kit] "Beloved Theresa

I wonder how nose piercings

would affect a blow

to the face.

of tattooing butterflies

on drunk girls.

She picked the jewelry

herself

imagine how their bones

would snap

after a sudden blow

only for me

to crush it to death.

i This doesn't mean

that I don't love you

smashed straight

into her sinuses

suppose I express my loving.

I'll draw you a picture

in different ways.

If you ever feel down,

just think about

how much better

you feel in a few months,

when you leave it all behind.

Hope love

is treating you better.

With love, your Kit."

[briefcase closes]

[Mary] Hey, Jakey, it's Mom.

Where are you?

I'm, uh

I'm about to bury her,

just like Daddy wanted.

[clears throat]

But I can't do it without you.

I need you.

[sniffles]

Finally we have the truth.

Please come.

Please be here.

[fireworks exploding]

[lock beeps]

Hello?

[sighs]

Hello?

[breathing shakily]

Oh, God. Oh, God.

Tom. Tom.

Tom.

-Emma.

-Okay. Okay, okay.

[groans]

Oh, God.

We got to go.

No, he's gone. He's gone.

[groaning]

It's okay. Okay.

Come here.

Okay.

Okay. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

[crowd cheering and applauding]

[cheering stops]

For 300 years,

this night has commemorated

the saints who watch over us

St. Jerome,

who protects our children,

and St. James,

who protects our dead.

And now,

the queen of our festival

and of our hearts.

[crowd cheering and applauding]

Light it up, baby!

[crowd cheering and applauding]

[mimics wolf howling]

[cheering and applause fades]

[Abel] You did this!

You!

[crowd screaming]

Where you been?

I was with a patient.

You going somewhere?

I'm gonna take a break

for a while.

A break?

What are you talking about?

Like a vacation?

'Cause if

if you need a vacation,

-you should discuss it

-A break from you, Pete.

I need a break from you.

She isn't lying

and she isn't crazy.

Emma.

It's still happening there,

at St. Jerome.

You told me it was over.

We made a promise to walk away

and to never

let ourselves go back.

But I don't think you ever left,

did you, Pete?

I was never

in that storm shelter.

And you never lived there

as a kid,

so I don't know

how you would have played

w*r games in there.

It's not my book.

So, if it's not my book

and I was never there,

then whose is it

and who was in the shelter?

I know you don't believe

any of this

because it's crazy.

You're building these stories

in your head

that make absolutely no sense.

[scoffs]

[book thuds]

I don't know if we'll be back.

[Mary] For seven years,

I have turned to you

and shared every hope,

every fragile

shred of information

that could lead to the truth

about Theresa.

Four years ago,

when Christopher Parker

and Karen Miller were arrested,

I thought, "Finally

Finally, I would have

my answer."

And when Christopher Parker

took his own life, I was

I was scared that the truth

would die with him.

[camera shutter clicks]

But I didn't

I couldn't give up.

So, I kept I kept going,

I kept believing that, uh,

that the woman

who shared his life

had to know something more,

had had to know

what happened.

And I was right.

Because today I got my answer.

[sniffles]

Karen Miller

Karen Miller

brutally attacked me

after confessing

to the k*lling of Amy Walker

and many, many others.

She was not only complicit

in the crimes

of Christopher Parker,

she was willing and active.

Who knows how many other acts

of violence she has committed?

Karen Miller is is

is dangerous and violent

and living in the town

of St. James, Louisiana,

under the new name of Emma Hall.

And I demand justice now

for Karen Miller

to answer for these crimes

and for the disappearance

of my daughter,

Theresa Elizabeth Barlow.

[reporters clamoring]

[sirens wailing]

[crying]

[growls, screams]

[Mary] She was not

only complicit in the crimes

of Christopher Parker,

she was willing and active.

Karen Miller is dangerous

and violent

and living in the town

of St. James, Louisiana,

under the new name

of Emma Hall.

She's lying.

No, she's lying. She's lying.

She's lying.

Emma

No, I have to go. Oh, God.

Oh, God! She's lied!

And we'll prove it.

-No.

-We'll prove it.

No, I have to go.

I can't be here anymore.

No. No. No. No.

Emma, you're not leaving me.

You can't go.

I can keep you safe.

Trust me.

I will keep you safe.

You can't.

No one can.

[crying]

[line ringing]

This is Emma.

Leave me a message.

[sobbing]

She's come back.

Jess. She's all wet

and she's bloated

from the swamp,

and I didn't want to hurt her.

I just wanted to shut her up

and make her stop talking

about my daddy.

You don't need to talk to her.

I'm gonna make

everything go away.

You understand me?

I did it for you, Daddy.

I know you did.

She was saying

those terrible things about you,

about things you've done.

You brought pain on yourself

to honor your daddy.

And now I'm gonna honor you.

They were all lies,

weren't they, Daddy?

They were all lies.

God forgive you

for what you've done.

Get away from her.

Don't you take her.

You are not fit to raise her.

You said they were all lies.

[insects chirping]

[Mary] Oh, Saul.

[gasps]

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

[whimpering]

Oh, Jakey

Oh, no, no, no.

[crying]

You swore her body

would never come back.

But here she is,

back up for all to see.

Now I got to put things right.

I got to go see your girl

'cause she's gonna take

the fall, you understand me?

She's gonna take the fall

for how you messed this up.

What do you mean "my girl"?

You brought a child-k*ller

to the bayou, Peter.

Who do you think I mean?

Don't you touch her.

I've done everything

you ever asked me to do.

Everything.

I want out of this.

I want out of this, Bodie.

You're never getting out.

Neither is she.

[Bodie] Karen Miller?

Come on, now.

It's gonna be alright.

I know you can't live with what

you did to that little girl,

so I'm gonna deliver you.

Karen.

Come on now, Karen Miller.

It's gonna be alright.

Come to Jesus, baby.

No, you come to Jesus

Baby.

Wasn't sure you'd come.

Last time I saw you,

you were so

angry at me and my actions.

Mary, that was about you

in the context of the swim team,

not you as a person.

So, you were just

protecting the girls, huh?

Yeah, that's all

I ever try to do.

But none of that matters.

I saw the press conference.

My God.

Just tell me

what you need from me.

I want to show you something.

It's, um, it's a journal

of my daughter's.

[Ed] Theresa kept a journal?

[g*nsh*t]

[knock on door]

Can I help you?

I'm Karen.

Esther said that

that you would keep her safe,

and I am so grateful.

I just

I just want to see her.

Even if it's just five minutes.

You don't have to tell her

who I am.

I don't want to unsettle her.

I just need to

I just need to see her. Please.

No, no, she warned me

about this.

She said you'd come

and you'd say this.

Who Who said that? Esther?

No.

I'm taking about

Freya's birth mother, Karen.

No, I'm Karen.

I'm Karen. No. No. No.

-Karen came last week

-I'm Karen.

to take her home,

just like Esther wanted.

I'm Karen.

-This is Karen.

-I'm Karen.

-No, I'm Ka--

-This is Karen.

Karen's been visiting Freya

since she was tiny.

Freya's gone.

[Emma] Freya!

Freya!

Freya!

[Kit] Where is she? Our baby?

I asked you to bring her.

She's safe.

Well, I need to see her.

[exhales sharply]

You can't.

Kit, I saw her.

I saw that woman.

Her skull was

[voice breaking]

was beaten in.

You can't ever tell.

Then we lose everything.

You, me, our baby girl.

Please.

Karen, promise me

you have her safe.

[grunts]

[whispers] Now you need

to forget her.

Forget us.

[siren wailing]

[officer over speaker] Suspect,

get on the ground.

Face down. Stay down.

[Kit] Then you'll never be safe.

Neither will she.

Never.

Never.

[dramatic music playing]

[Emma] You are what I lost

all those years ago.

You are what I've been

trying to get back to.

I won't lose you again.

I won't have you hear the lies,

have you believe

what others say about me.

I'm not the person

they've made me into.

Their lies have made

a nightmare of my life,

and now I'll make

a nightmare of theirs.

And I will find you,

no matter what I have to do.

[engine starting]

[Theresa humming]

Did I ever tell you

you look just like your daddy?

You say that every time.

[Theresa] It's just you

and me now, for always.
