Fireflies

1 - (heart monitor beeping) - PARK: I'm still not seeing it.
FEMALE DOCTOR: All that blood's coming from somewhere.
PARK: Very helpful, thank you.
ANESTHESIOLOGIST: BP's still dropping.
PARK: It'll keep dropping until we that bleeder.
(heart monitor continues beeping) FEMALE DOCTOR: What did they use on him? He's gutted like a trout.
PARK: Hold the conversation and focus, please.
Yes, Dr.
Park.
- (heart monitor beeps rapidly) - Heart rate is spiking.
(medical alarms sounding) Goddammit, hang two more units, and push an amp of epi now.
(alarms continue) PARK: Get the crash cart charged to 300 joules.
(electricity whines) FEMALE DOCTOR: Come on, come on.
- (flat line) - He's crashing.
- Come on.
- We're losing him.
Retract here.
We're losing him.
(echoes) (lights buzz) WOMAN: Hello, Kyle.
Mom? (shudders) This isn't real.
I couldn't tell you.
Even a mother doesn't know everything.
Am I supposed to be dead? Is that it? You always did ask a lot of questions.
My curious boy.
I'm sorry, Mom.
I'm sorry that I brought that thing to you and that I tore it out after it was too late.
No.
That was a choice I made.
I coulda let that thing take me.
Just a few days of pain and surrender because I wanted to stay me.
For you.
It's too bad you don't have more of that fight in you.
- What? - You were given the power to stop this.
You weren't up for the job.
What are you talkin' about? You let that thing in Chief Giles get the better of you.
(electricity buzzing) - (squelching) - (groans) They'll come for your family next.
You can't do anything to stop it now.
- There's no one left to protect them.
- What? I'm so disappointed in you.
(grunting, yelling) (theme music playing) (coins rattling) So, what are you gonna have? AMBER: Chips, I guess.
Chips it is.
Here you go.
Dad doesn't like me to eat too much junk food.
Well maybe he'd make an exception this time.
He makes an exception most of the time.
Come on.
(indistinct chatter) Reverend Anderson? You can call me John.
John are you scared for my dad? No! No, of course not.
Sometimes I wish adults would talk to me like they talk to each other.
The truth is yes, I am.
You don't need to be.
He's fine.
And while he's getting better, I can help you.
I can do what my dad does.
(door opens) (door closes) What is wrong with this place? Shoulda had him stitched up and out of here hours ago.
It may be more serious than that.
- It's this hick town.
- Allison.
If we were in Charleston, in a real hospital, we'd be home by now.
I'm glad you and Kyle are a "we" again.
(door opens) - (door closes) - (sighs) (indistinct hospital chatter) What? PARK: Your friend ANDERSON: What? PARK: I'm so sorry.
We did our best.
(sniffling) - I want to see him.
- PARK: I understand.
Of course.
We'll contact you as soon as the Medical Examiner releases the body.
Release? He isn't yours to release.
That's that's not what I meant.
In these cases, we should do an autopsy.
Take me to my husband.
You'll be able to see him very soon, Mrs.
Barnes.
- Now! - Mrs.
Barnes, Mrs.
Barnes.
I need to see him.
I have to talk to him.
Mrs.
Barnes.
I understand you're under a lot of stress.
Mrs.
Barnes, please let go of me.
Mrs.
Barnes, if you don't let go of me, I'm going to call security.
Allison.
Come on, now listen, listen to me! Listen to me.
You'll see him, you will.
Please? Please, just this one last time.
I have to tell him I'm sorry, even if he can't hear me.
(sobbing) (phone rings) (door opens) (dog barking) Byron? That was Bill Tuttle at the station.
I'm on a permanent leave of absence.
I told him.
Honey, Kyle Barnes passed this morning.
Honey, it wasn't your fault.
It's over, Rosie.
That boy was the best chance we had of beating this thing.
Now, I guess we wait.
Just sit back and let it happen? Baby, I tried.
I tried to focus on you.
I tried to build a wall to block it out but it doesn't work.
(sighs) That's what I'm trying to tell you, Rosie, we can't fight this thing.
We can't fight.
Can't.
Byron, I vowed never to leave you.
I'd never break faith with my husband.
But the man that's talkin' right now (sighs) sayin' we should just sit here and let this flood roll over us? That's not the man I married.
What the hell is wrong with you? I'd be happy to show you.
SIDNEY: All right, Aaron, that's enough.
She's just being a tight-ass.
If you have to use my home, I'd appreciate a little respect.
SIDNEY: Oh, really? What else would you like? I have to get to work.
Keep up appearances.
Very wise, Evelyn.
Don't be so childish.
(door opens) - Isn't that why you like me? - (door closes) Now what's that supposed to mean? Why else are you keeping me here with you? What? You like playing "Daddy"? I'm protecting you.
Yeah, from that limp dick Anderson? From your own juvenile impulses.
You need to learn self-control.
Well, you didn't mind me killing the mayor for you.
Well, that was on-the-job training.
Well, blowin' heads off is exactly what we should be doing more of.
(coughs) You sure you're not getting too old for this shit? (sighs) Come with me.
The fuck? Do you know why I'm here, Aaron? In this deep-fried shit bucket you call a town? Has it ever even occurred to you to ask me? It was 30 years ago, a woman named Helen DeVere passed this way.
She was waiting for the same thing I am.
Something we call the "Great Merge.
" But when it comes? All the suffering and humiliation heaped on people like you and me won't even be a memory.
How's that sound to you? It's what I've been waiting for, too.
Well, Helen got tired of waiting and I believe she found a shortcut to make all that happen.
AARON: So, what does this have to do with it? SIDNEY: If Helen was right, this is gonna be a team effort.
- (rain pattering) - (thunder rumbling) What are you working on? It's for Daddy.
Sweetheart - your daddy is - They made a mistake.
I thought you might wanna get some sleep.
I need to run by my mom's, check on Holly.
No more pills.
Okay.
Every night in that psych ward, when I stayed awake thinking about how Amber might get along without me in her life, but now Hey, look.
- You're here now.
- If I'd just walked out of there one day earlier? Maybe he wouldn't have been there.
Maybe he wouldn't have charged into some he wouldn't have charged into some fight.
(sniffles) It wasn't a fight.
You said he got stabbed.
He was trying to help the Chief.
- Free him from one of those things.
- Oh, Jesus Christ.
I know.
You're telling me he got killed performing an exorcism? He didn't even go to church.
All of this stuff about dark forces pulling our strings? It just lets us off the hook for our own mistakes.
The biggest mistake we made was not believing him.
(gasps) (gasps) (breathing heavily) (grunts) Ow.
(lights match) (fire catches, crackles) ANDERSON: Byron.
Afternoon, John.
- What are you doing? - (sighs) Had me some nice Kansas City rib-eyes sitting in the freezer.
No point in saving 'em now.
- Owen is dead.
- Huh.
Sidney and Aaron shot him last night outside the school.
If you want to report a crime Laura Nuñez is sitting at my desk at the station right now.
I heard 'em talking.
Sidney said there was somebody else in the gym.
Somebody like Kyle only more powerful.
That's why it happened to you.
- Good thing it was nothing I did.
- Byron, what the fuck? The person who brought 'em here, they can send 'em back.
This thing is not over.
It is for me.
Listen to me.
There's some people out there I know can help us.
There's a church out in the woods.
It's called The Lighthouse, they were there last night.
So? So, they know they know something about this! Now, we need to talk to them.
Byron, I can't imagine what you just went through, but you'll come back from this.
Goddammit, you're the chief.
Twenty years as my friend, are you really that stupid? We've been thinking we're in charge of this town, that we can protect people.
- What are you talking about? - We can't even protect ourselves.
Fuck you, Byron.
Fuck you.
MEGAN: I shut him out.
- I told him it was crazy, too.
- Because it is.
You don't believe that.
Remember when you hurt Amber? - Was that you? - Stop it.
Well, can you feel your hands around her neck? - Stop.
- Was it you? I was sick! Well, then, go back to the fucking nuthouse where you belong! Something gets inside of people and poisons their minds.
Makes them do terrible things.
If you stand here and tell me the devil killed my husband He killed mine! What? It wasn't a car accident.
I did it.
I saw Kyle pull oh, I don't even know that thing out of Chief Giles.
Just like he got it out of me.
And you.
You know he did.
(tires screech) ANDERSON: Hey! Where is she? Where's Dakota? - Where's Dakota? - How 'bout our indoor voices, Reverend? He's here, isn't he? Your messiah.
I wish that were true.
I mean, but you're welcome to stay and wait with the rest of us.
What were you doing at that meeting last night? It was a town meeting.
Wait a minute.
What makes you think you're part of this town? Living out here, shitting in the woods.
Talking in circles.
Listen to me.
I know these people.
I serve them, I love them.
Now, if you're keeping something from me that could stop all of this, - so help me, I - What do you wanna know? Everything.
Why are you out here? All the people here are they like you? Recovering, yes.
And who freed them? The same one that freed you? Left that mark on your back? Some.
Others we picked up along the way.
So it is true.
There are others out there, like your messiah, that can send these demons back.
- There must be.
- But there's no one here now.
No one with the light, like Kyle? Why don't you bring Kyle out here? I'm sure we have a lot we could talk about.
Well, he spent the night on an operating table.
Didn't know that.
How is he? He died.
(engine starts) (breathing heavily) (grunts) (distant door opens) (footsteps) (panting) (moaning) Chief really did a number on you.
Where are we? Some place you'd get the care you deserve.
Where the fuck are we? (hisses) Take it easy, Kyle.
You don't want to split those stitches.
(coughing) (sighs) That thing is killing you, isn't it? Time will come we'll re-make this world.
We won't even need these bodies.
What do you mean "re-make"? Is that the Merge? Answer me, Sidney.
All right, be smart, Kyle.
Lashing out at any single one of us ain't gonna change things.
We're very team-oriented.
Here, here, sit down.
(panting) My family won't stop until they find me.
Oh, why would they even look for you? You died on the operating table.
By the time anyone realizes otherwise you'll be far away from here.
Now, come on, come on.
Let's get some rest Little Firefly.
(both grunting) (shouting, yelling) (sizzling) Ah! (screams) SIDNEY: Ah! (grunts) (coughing) (panting) (Kyle screaming) (groans) (sighs) Get Mr.
Barnes back to bed.
Make sure he's secure.
I may have to come back later for a little pick-me-up.
(Sidney coughs) Want some? Mmm? Here.
Here.
There you go.
Go on, eh? What the fuck do you want, huh? Go watch TV or something.
Or stick you head in here light a match.
Turn yourself into a walking stick of beef jerky like me! What's your story anyway? You look like one of those St.
Jude cancer ward creeps you see on those stupid commercials.
But you think you're better than me, right? Sidney thinks you're something special, otherwise he wouldn't have brought you home like a stray kitten.
Are you gonna be one too? Don't play dumb with me.
Go on, Make a Wish, you little shit.
Are you gonna be a demon? 'Cause I was in line first.
(water running) Kyle knew how important this was.
He knew what he needed to do.
Could you please explain that to his daughter who is in there writing Get Well cards for her dead father? I'm sorry but what he was fighting, what took him from us, it hasn't been stopped.
Now, Kyle might not be with us anymore, but there's still people out there who are willing to fight his cause.
Allison.
- People who have a gift.
- Oh, God.
Amber! - Hey, baby, we're leaving.
- Wait.
Just come with us.
Get Holly, get out of this place.
But they'll need you to see the b to see Kyle, even if you don't want to Look, I'm not leaving the country.
That Dr.
Park has my cell number.
The police can reach us wherever we are.
Wait, who did you just say? Police, everything's been handed over to 'em.
No, who told you that? - The surgeon who operated on Kyle.
- Dr.
Park.
"Park"? Park is one of them.
What? Kyle told me he came after him with a tire iron.
He was helping Sidney.
Who the hell is Sidney? We need to go talk to Park.
(yells) (nurse groaning) (groans) Excuse me, we need to talk with Dr.
Park.
(grunts) (shouts) I'm sorry, I have no idea what you're referring to.
MEGAN: You don't know what this family's been through.
ALLISON: You said my husband died.
PARK: Which is the single, hardest thing any doctor ever has to do.
- You're one of them.
- Come on.
ALLISON: Let's go.
(distorted) I'm sorry, Doctor.
MEGAN: We want to talk to someone else.
An administrator.
- Someone higher up.
- PARK: I'm the Chief of Staff here.
but now you're disturbing the entire floor.
- Get me Security on the line.
- Amber? Amber? (indistinct distorted hospital PA) (panting) Amber! What's wrong, honey? Come here.
(panting) (door opens, closes) (shouts) PARK: You can't go in there.
Why not? It's the old wing of the hospital.
It's been sealed off.
Please, you can't be here.
Open the door.
Even if I had the keys, it's not safe! Now, I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
All right, let's go.
Amber, honey, come on! He's in there.
(grunting, panting) ALLISON: Amber, let's go! Amber? Allison! - Amber, come on, let's go.
- No.
Amber.
Ow! Amber! (sizzling, screaming) (Park continues screaming) Give me the key.
Give me the key! Allison! - (thudding) - KYLE: Allison! - Kyle? - (screaming) - (keys jingle) - Let's go! - Allison! - Daddy! - Kyle? - Open the door! Allison, open the door! - (panting) - Jesus, Kyle.
Kyle.
Kyle.
We thought you were gone.
I wouldn't let that happen.
How did you find me? Fireflies can see other fireflies.
Kyle.
Please, he needs help.
ANDERSON: Come on! Can you walk? (Kyle groans) (coughs) I bought chicken strips.
Protein will be good for both of Did you get extra ranch dressing? They always forget.
(bag rustles) (sighs) What have you done? You and I have something going, and that little asshole thinks he can just walk right in here and ride along.
He didn't just walk in.
I brought him here.
You weren't in competition with him.
Not anymore we're not.
(chuckles) Mmm.
Is it Cajun? You short-sighted, impudent idiot.
You want to change? You want to become like me? You know I do.
I brought him here to help speed up your transformation, and you killed him.
All you had to do was wait.
But children Children can never be patient.
ROSE: Evelyn? Oh! Rose.
It's been ages.
Yeah, I'm I'm sorry to ambush you like this.
Any chance you have a minute? Of course.
It's a little chilly out here, do you mind if we get in? Sure.
Do you wanna go get some coffee? Oh, no, this will just take a minute.
I'm sure you want to get home to Peter.
I know he and Byron had words a few days ago.
Peter and I are taking a break.
I hadn't heard, I'm sorry.
I guess it can't be easy living with something like that.
I mean, living with that thing inside you.
Would you call this a "mixed marriage"? What do you want, Rose? My husband promised me a retirement somewhere warm where we could eat anything we want.
I've been looking forward to that for a very long time, because nothing makes me happier than being with Byron every minute of every day.
You'll get your retirement.
You and Byron can spend as much time as you want together.
You'll just be a part of something bigger.
I don't think so.
Rose! (breathing heavily) (Sidney sighs) Oh! (sighs heavily) He weighed more than I imagined.
I coulda helped you.
No, you've done enough already.
You could've let me die in that fire, but you didn't.
You saved me so I could prove myself, and I did.
Yes.
You did.
So we're back to waiting? Now that's up to you.
You've seen the complications of my life.
Given recent events, you still want to be like me? Fuck yeah.
- I thought we needed the kid.
- Well it would have been easier that way, but no, no.
I can attempt it.
Might be a little rough.
You ready? Hell, I was born ready.
Let's get started.
So what do I do? Just lie down there.
- Not gonna try and fuck me or anything? - (chuckles) No, it may hurt a little.
- First time always does, right? - Yeah, but it'll be over soon and after that - I'll be reborn.
- Yeah.
Just close your eyes now.
Thank you for this.
Yeah.
I'm just sorry I didn't think of this sooner.
I don't have plans and schemes And I Don't have hopes and dreams I don't have Anything Since I don't Have you I don't have Fond desires And I don't have - (knife clatters) - Happy hours I don't have Since I don't Have you I don't have happiness And I guess I'll never really love Again When you walked out on me In walked old misery And he's been here Since then I don't have Anything Since I don't Have you
