666 Park Avenue s01e11 Episode Script

Previously on 666 Park Avenue I was driving home, out of my mind.
I think I hit somebody.
Do you remember what you said to me that night? That I would do anything to walk again.
Welcome to anything.
You've made your mother very happy.
But if you hurt her again, We're gonna have a problem.
Are you Harlan Moore? That would make him I have to find a door to let Libby out.
The problem with opening doors You never know who's gonna walk through them.
She did it.
So voter demographics in this district Have changed a lot in the last six years.
We're talking about a 32% increase In middle-income families.
I've noticed.
It's mostly due to some redistricting That Sullivan pushed through.
The point is, Cocktail parties alone won't cut it these days.
I think Henry needs to be out there in the community.
Well, it's a little cold for a soapbox in central park.
Gavin, I was thinking less soapbox, more pulpit.
Interesting idea except for the fact that it's illegal.
Religious organizations are nonprofit.
Right, which means they can't endorse a political candidate, but Henry's this district's resident hero.
The public should just meet him, hear him speak.
So he just happens to be running for the council seat.
The speech would be personal, not political.
Sell the man not the message.
I like it Gavin.
It'll get me talking to the community about my values, My character.
It's a smart idea, Laurel.
Good.
I think we should start with the largest church Saint Thomas.
I'll put in a call to the cardinal as soon as we're done.
The cardinal? Gavin, full disclosure, I'm kind of a lapsed catholic.
Well, you'll be fine.
The cardinal owes me a favor.
Good.
All right.
Are you ever gonna tell me why we're trying To get Henry elected to city council? Because he's a good man with a bright future.
I wish you'd start trusting me, dad Even just a little.
I do trust you a little.
That's why you're in our lives.
You want more.
Convince me.
I know I've made mistakes.
But I'm gonna fix things.
You'll see.
I look forward to it.
We're all damned.
The demons that haunt you Can be expelled, father.
How? Please tell me.
Slay the dragon.
The dragon? I don't understand.
You have to kill Gavin Doran.
Episode 1x11: Sins Of Our Father Was this before or after Dubai? It was before Dubai and after Malaysia.
God.
It Seems like a lifetime ago.
I'm just happy to be home.
New york greatest city in the world.
And the drake its shining jewel.
I hope I'm not interrupting something.
Speaking of shining jewels, Allow me to introduce our resident manager Jane Van Veen.
Jane, this is Patrick Corey.
He's moving in today.
Uh, today? Charmed.
Um, thanks.
Uh, Gavin, Which apartment is Mr.
Corey moving in to? 2d.
Maris' old apartment? But, uh Wh-what about the renovations? We haven't even started yet.
Now you can work directly with the tenant.
There are demons in this world, Walking among us, Destroying us One soul at a time, Gaining power and influence over us.
You mean Gavin Doran.
How can you be sure? He has an appointment with the monsignor.
When you meet him, you can decide for yourself.
I bought this From a dealer in Rome.
It's a grimoire From the 16th century.
It gives three instructions on destroying evil.
I assume you read latin.
"Only the hand of the cloth may slay the dragon.
On holy ground must its blood be spilled.
" A priest, on hallowed ground, Using a blade anointed with the blood of a king.
That's the third part.
The blood of a king? I know how to obtain a knife like that.
You want me to kill a man? This is crazy.
It's wrong.
Papal law gives a holy dispensation To soldiers of god.
The sin of murder In the act of destroying evil is absolved.
That's a law from the time of the inquisition, Ms.
Harris.
There's no absolution for murder.
I can't stop him alone, father.
I need your help.
Too many people try and justify evil acts In the name of god.
Not many people see what you see.
We ever gonna talk about this? About you getting wasted And embarrassing yourself the other night? No.
Not until you admit you have a problem.
You know what? You're right.
I do have a problem.
I don't know how many times you want me to tell you, All I took that night was one aspirin.
I got the news that they wanted to do my show, And you were so wasted, you could hardly stand up.
Brian, I'm sorry I wasn't there for you.
Maybe consider who made it possible For you to write this play in the first place.
Not like you've been working your ass off to pay rent Like I have for the last five years.
Nice.
And thank you For reminding me what a loser I am.
Brian.
Wait.
Hey, we're not done here.
Yeah, we are.
The kitchen and the bathroom need the most work.
My plan was to gut them both and start over New fixtures, plumbing, tiles.
Sounds like a good plan.
And what what do you do for work, Mr.
Uh, Corey? Oh, a little of this, Little of that.
You're a curious girl, Jane, With a sad beauty.
Quite intoxicating.
Thank you, I think.
Well, I will do my best to make this renovation as painless as possible for you.
Well, what's a little pain between friends, right? You know, on second thought, I think I'm going to do it myself.
Uh, I'm sorry.
Do what yourself? Renovate.
And don't worry your charming little head about it.
Gavin gave his blessing.
When I'm done, I'll have you up for cocktails And we'll get to know one another.
How's that sound? Sure.
Excellent.
Welcome to the drake, Mr.
Corey.
Hey.
Hey.
Where you been? Uh, there's a new tenant moving in.
I had to show him the apartment.
God, the guy's a total whacko.
He talks like he's something out of an old Warner brothers movie.
And he's insisting on doing his own renovations.
Yeah, definitely sounds like a psycho.
Look at you, Off to relive your glory days as an altar boy.
Calm down.
I'm just going to church to save my immortal soul.
Henry, I want you to always stay who you are.
Remember that.
It's the most important thing.
Where is this coming from? - Are you worried about me? - Yeah, I worry about you.
Don't.
I just feel like everything's happening so fast, The way it's all falling into place for you.
Don't let anyone compromise what you believe is right.
Jane, stop.
Are you sure Gavin didn't plant that story about Sullivan's affair? That's what this is about? I'm just asking.
Of course he didn't.
Hey, don't worry about me.
Hey, Henry.
Yeah.
I'm proud of you.
Blessed virgin, Please forgive this poor sinner.
I don't know what to do.
Help me to see the path.
I Oh, God.
Only you can stop him.
No! Mr.
Corey! Mr.
Corey Hi.
Patrick.
Door.
Miss Van Veen.
What a surprise.
Hi.
Uh, your neighbors are complaining About the loud music.
Oh, dear me.
I suffer from enthusiasms over a good stride piano.
I needed to hear it over the hammering.
I'm sorry.
You've already started construction? Well, they say idle hands Are the devil's playthings.
All renovation plans need to be approved Before you start construction.
Oh, I thought I'd surprise you.
Well, maybe I can take a look now.
Uh, miss van veen, while I appreciate your pluck, Now isn't a good time.
Perhaps later you can join me and, uh, what's her name Shannon.
Me and Shannon for martinis.
I'm sorry.
I-I'm busy.
Just try to keep the music down, okay? Wait.
Don't move.
Make a wish.
Beautiful, Marla.
Beautiful.
Great.
Think we got it.
Go change wardrobe.
Okay.
Alexis, let's reset, Uh, before we freeze out here.
Oh, these shoots are the worst.
Guess that's what happens when you piss off Elle magazine.
Is Brian still upset? Brian thinks I'm a selfish bitch, so yeah.
Well, I think he's just stressed about his play.
Oh, right.
His play.
I took a peek at it, by the way.
It's not that good.
Not like his old stuff.
I think it's great, actually.
He asked you to read it? Yeah.
Um, is that okay? Sure.
I'm sorry.
It's not your fault.
Monsignor, it's nice to see you again.
Gavin, how are you? Great.
I'd like you to meet father Douglas.
Gavin is the prime benefactor of the children's hospital.
Without him, the new wing never would've broken ground.
Nice to meet you.
Well, I'm just along for the ride.
This is Laurel Harris.
Father Douglas.
Monsignor Williams, allow me to introduce Henry Martin.
Soon to be this district's newest council member.
The hero himself.
Pleasure to meet you, monsignor.
Very impressive, what you did at the mayor's house.
I want to hear all about it.
By the way, Gavin tells me you're a scratch golfer.
Um, I I do all right.
You'll have to join us for a game sometime.
Yeah, I'd like that.
Please, everyone, come inside.
I have some fresh coffee on.
I think ms.
Harris and I should let you all get acquainted.
But don't be too easy on him.
"A shining light in a city of shadows.
" - What does it mean? - I don't know, But it's all over Peter Kramer's journal.
I mean, half that thing's in some kind of code Or weird alphabet.
Okay, how is there no clue to deciphering this text? Is this the only file on the order of the dragon? You know what? In that one, too.
I've looked through it before.
Never saw any mention of that phrase Or code or anything.
Oh, my god.
It's him.
Who? A man named Patrick Corey Moved into the drake today.
Now I know it sounds crazy, but this is him in the picture.
I swear.
It's the same guy.
What are you gonna do? I-I-I don't know.
I He killed Libby, so obviously he's dangerous.
I-I need to figure out what he's doing in that apartment.
Henry's wrapping up.
That night Your mother had already gone to bed When the police called, But I was still awake.
They wouldn't give me any details, but I knew it was bad.
Can we please not talk about this here? It's ironic now.
When they told me you'd been killed, I refused to believe them.
How could you possibly be taken away from us? It didn't make any sense.
When I saw that burning wreck of a car, I Never felt so powerless.
A few days later, I buried you My only child Right here.
I'm sorry.
I love you, Sasha.
No matter what.
I always have.
And I always will.
I love you, too, dad.
Hello, father.
You mind if join you? No, please.
The monsignor is very nice.
I'm gonna speak in the congregation tomorrow.
When did you last attend mass? It's been a while.
I mean, I-I was raised catholic.
It's part of who I am, but I don't know.
Maybe I have more doubts now.
Faith can be a challenge, Even for the most devout.
God tests us.
But when we're called, it's up to us to answer.
I feel a calling to public service.
You know, I have since I was pretty young.
Now you have someone Like Gavin Doran opening doors for you.
What do you mean, someone like Gavin? He's He's been a good friend to me.
Be careful of him, Henry.
The path you've been called to is rife with temptation.
Your soul will be tested.
Stand fast against evil Wherever you find it.
Okay.
I I see things in people, the truth Of who they are.
I can see That you are a good man.
I try to be.
Henry.
Ready to go? Excuse me.
If you confess your sins, I can absolve you now.
Tomorrow you'll speak before god with a clear conscience.
I have to go, father.
- Allow me to help you with that.
- No, that's all right.
I got it.
Nonsense.
Please be careful.
That's camera gear.
Safe.
Patrick Corey.
2d.
Just moved in.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Louise.
And you look like you could use a drink.
And lucky for you, I'm hosting a little cocktail party upstairs.
You, me, a bottle, and your camera.
I'm married.
Excuse me.
I'd never tell.
Sleazebag.
All right? Yeah, thanks, Tony.
Hey, some weather we're having today, isn't it, Mr.
Corey? Yeah.
Tell me, Tony, What's a fella like you doing in a job like this? Just trying to stay out of trouble.
You like to get into trouble? Not particularly.
Listen, Tony.
An obscene amount of items I've purchased Are going to be delivered this afternoon.

Gentleman on my right.
I guess my husband's not coming home.
He didn't call? He's not that considerate.
Well, I think he's going through a lot.
What does that mean? What about me, Lex? Good night, Lou.
No.
Unh-unh.
I want to know what you meant by that.
All day All you do is complain About how Brian is not there for you, How he doesn't understand you, how he doesn't believe you.
No wonder he doesn't want to come home.
The Louise show is exhausting.
You have this great guy who loves you.
You just won't see it.
Well, Whatever you said, the monsignor Really took a shine to you.
Good job.
That's funny.
I think we talked more about golf than we did about god.
He's kind of a zealot in that regard.
How was, um Father Douglas? Kind of intense.
Said he feared for my soul.
Why, after all these years, Do priests still make me feel guilty? Guilt is something I choose not to Feel.
It's liberating.
So Olivia has never made you feel guilty about anything? I'm sorry.
I didn't know we were talking about women.
What did you do? I lied to Jane.
About leaking the Sullivan affair to the press.
I lied right to her face When she asked me if you were involved.
'Cause you didn't think she'd understand.
That's right.
Stop protecting her.
Next time tell her the truth.
Make her understand The man you need to be.
Mr.
Corey.
Mr.
Corey? Anybody home? Hello, Harlan.
You're Harlan Moore.
How'd you figure it out? I'd rather not say.
You're a special girl, Jane.
I can tell this place likes you.
Why is this door padlocked? I'd rather not say.
You murdered Libby Griffith.
Right.
Poor Libby.
Why did you do that? Selfish reasons.
We thought we could become like Vanderbilt and Carnegie.
It was foolish.
Libby was innocent.
Not as innocent as little Jocelyn.
Your grandmother was the one we were supposed to offer.
Murder.
Supposed to murder.
Murder Yes.
We, uh, Called up something Terrible that night, Something we couldn't control.
It took over the drake, And then one by one, it destroyed us.
Why did you come back here? Because Now I'm I'm free from the prison Of my decaying body.
I've a-a second chance to right my wrongs.
That is what I intend to do.
Well, I'm sorry if I don't believe you.
You know what you are, Jane? A shining light in a city of shadows.
You wanted to know how to read Peter's journal? That phrase is key.
It's a cipher text.
And a-a gesture of my good intent.
Esmeralda physically can't write u-unless she's with him.
I mean, it's like a-a creative paralysis.
So when he says he's moving to Brazil, it It destroys her.
Exactly.
It, uh, like, renders her just catatonic.
Brian, you have a visitor.
Um, you know, why don't we just break for lunch? That's 30, everybody.
30.
Hello? I asked the stage manager to change the lights.
Something about being here makes me want to dance.
Why'd you ever quit? It doesn't matter.
What matters is, I'm gonna start dancing again.
Thanks to you.
What did I do? You inspired me to.
We have a special connection, Brian.
I think you know that.
What if everything that's happened between us Is actually a lot simpler than we thought? What do you mean? What if it's love? Henry? What's going on with you? Jane, look, I, uh I have a confession to make.
Okay.
I don't want to keep any secrets from you, And I should've told you what was going on.
Gavin did leak the Sullivan story to the press, And I knew about it.
So What you said to me this morning You lied to me? Yeah, I didn't think you'd understand.
You're right.
I don't understand.
The guy cheated on his sick wife with an intern.
I didn't make him do that.
The story needed to get out there quick Or else we'd miss our window.
It's dirty politics, Henry, Something you said you'd never be a part of.
Jane, you don't get to city hall by being an altar boy.
Oh, that'll make a great campaign slogan.
- Jane, where are you going? - I'm sleeping on the couch.
Jane I can't believe you lied to me.
Is that it? Gaius Julius Caesar So hated for his tyranny That he was murdered by his own people.
May god forgive me for what I'm going to do.
May god also forgive me.
So I took your advice And I told Jane the truth about the whole Sullivan thing.
Ah.
I'll hazard a guess That's why she's not here, too.
She slept on the couch last night.
Growing pains, Henry.
She won't stay mad for long.
Okay, so Harlan was right.
It is a cipher text, But this is all I've managed to get so far.
And there are pages and pages of this stuff.
It's gonna take a while to decode.
That's okay.
We'll split it three ways.
You, me, and cooper.
I thought cooper was in the dog house.
No, I'm afraid the only person in the dog house Is my dear Sweet Henry.
What did he do? Nothing.
Never mind.
So I'm mature enough to handle Mysterious codes from dead murderers, But not a little relationship drama? He Lied about something.
Okay? So? I mean What does he think you're doing right now? Well It's different.
You know, I-I'm worried he's turning into somebody I won't recognize.
Look, Jane, I'm no expert, But it sounds like you're suffering From what Dr.
Phil calls "projection.
" Really? Changes, keeping secrets.
But hey, I'm only 16.
As I mentioned at the beginning of our service, We have a local hero with us today.
We've read a lot about him in the papers.
I'd like to invite Henry Martin Up to the podium to say a few words.
Henry.
"The eyes of god are in every place, "beholding the evil And the good within all of us.
" My dad used to tell me that.
We try and convince ourselves That we can hide from those eyes, That when we do something wrong, we won't be judged Deliver me from evil, father.
Or held to account.
But my dad impressed upon me That we always were And we always will be.
And he also impressed upon me the grace of forgiveness.
That we must forgive those who we love And hope they find the grace to forgive us as well.
Do you know the story Of Jephthah and his daughter? Remind me.
Jephthah was an ancient warrior Who made a deal with god.
"Allow me to win in battle," he said, "and I'll sacrifice the first person To walk out of my house upon returning home.
" Do you know who he saw? I remember now.
His only daughter.
That is stunning.
But this frame is atrocious.
I think we have a much nicer one Downstairs in the basement.
We should look.
Hello, father.
Shall we get this over with? In the name of god She used you, father.
Hey.
Hey, uh, babe, can I Can I talk to you for a second? Yeah, yeah, sure.
- Listen, I - No, let me go first.
Jane, you were right.
I messed up.
I never should've lied to you.
And when you walked into that church, You made me realize that I'm better than that.
- No, Henry - Jane Will you marry me? Our love Is my light in the darkness.
I would be lost without you.
Will you please spend the rest of your life with me? Yeah.
Y uh, yes.
Yes? Yes.
Oh, my god.
Oh, I love you.
After you, mom.
I seem to remember the frames being Back here somewhere.
Your father should be returning from the service soon.
Actually, I don't think so.
Put it down, Sasha.
It's all over.
You can't hurt me here.
Put that down.
You'll never make it out of the drake.
Please, mom.
Sweetheart, why? Everything you gave me, you took from innocent people.
No.
None of them were innocent.
Least of all father Douglas.
So what are you gonna do? You gonna kill me, Your only daughter? Step back.
Oh, my god.
There's only one way out If you want to live.
Where does it go? For you To a whole new life, A fresh start.
Somewhere beautiful.
I don't believe you.
Sasha You're my daughter, and I love you.
But you can't stay here.
And you can never come back.
Mom Please.
Don't be afraid, my love.
Mother! You want something done right, You just have to do it yourself.
No mistakes this time.
No excuses.
Hi.
Is it too late to take you up on that drink? It's never too late for a drink, doll.
Great.
