The Killings at Parrish Station (2026) s01e06 Episode Script

1
Can we try this again?
Margaret, would you mind?
Michael, do I still have you?
There have been some killings
that look similar.
Similar how?
I don't know, Frank.
Boyd is right, Katyushka.
Tolliver has done something.
There is something wrong
with this place.
Sometimes I can see things.
Since I died.
I died for four minutes.
This isn't one person.
This is an occult group.
Mum
-Ugh!
-Mum!
Get the child!
Kate Reynolds is alive.
-Georgia saw her die.
-I didn't.
-She's missing, my boss.
-Ugh!
Detective Inspector
Millie Farah.
Arggh!
That's a street kitchen van
from the church.
I've been in it.
I know who Kate Reynolds became.
-Francesca.
-Oh, Margaret.
I was a million miles away.
What's this?
A gift for your birthday.
I'm so lucky to have you.
-I have a watch.
-I know.
I thought this one
was a bit more grown-up.
Uh, do you like it?
See how it looks.
My mother gave me my watch.
And now I'm giving you this one.
You haven't seen your mother
in nearly a decade.
That's not the point.
I, um
Would you please
give us a moment?
-Dad?
-It's alright, love. I'm here.
Hey!
OK, you're OK. You're good,
sweetheart. You're good.
Where's Frankie?
She's safe, she's fine,
but she
Did they get him?
Who?
Callum Parrish.
Did they get Callum?
OK, you listen to me, alright?
It's just me talking now,
but it's not gonna just me
for too much longer,
so when the
when the cops talk to you,
you need to say
as little as possible.
You give me a chance
to find you a good lawyer.
I don't need to talk to
a lawyer.
-Stop, stop, stop.
-I need to talk to Charlie.
-I need to talk to
-Stop, stop fucking talking!
J-just
Just fuckin' stop talkin'. Stop.
What do you think happened
out there?
They had Kate Reynolds.
They were torturing her
-No, no, no.
-or something like that.
You shot two people.
You shot two people in front of
your little daughter!
-What do you mean, two people?
-You shot Callum Parrish.
He'll live.
Kate Reynolds is dead.
Who says that?
-Does Callum say that?
-Yeah, Callum.
Yeah, and Frankie.
They both say that.
Kate fucking Reynolds.
If you're gonna kill me,
kill me.
Frankie!
-Frankie!
-Hey, hey.
We don't know
that she's in danger.
What, you think Kate Reynolds
became my daughter's assistant
on a whim?
We don't know that Margaret
O'Connor is Kate Reynolds.
It's her. She and Callum
Parrish have taken Frankie.
-George.
-Frankie!
George!
Frankie?
-Frankie!
-Hi.
I'm Michael Thorne.
Are you gonna open the kitchen
or what? I'm fuckin' hungry.
We're with
the Police Department.
-Well, you're not a cop.
-Was a cop.
-I was a florist. Time, eh?
-Huh.
We're looking for a woman
named Margaret O'Connor.
-Do you know her?
-I don't like her.
She's the fuckin' devil!
Frankie?
Frankie!
OK.
Have you seen this guy around?
Hello? Frankie!
It's me.
Yeah, I seen him.
You sure? Where?
Come by the church a bunch.
Talkin' to her.
Didn't I tell you?
Callum Parrish has been visiting
Margaret O'Connor.
What more proof do we need?
When you said he came by
and talked to her,
who did you mean?
The minister. Frankie!
Oh, Frankie.
What have you done?
Kate Reynolds is dead.
She died 37 years ago.
F-F-Frankie!
Wh-what's going on?
I need you to listen.
Remember when you were
in NA, looking for a sponsor?
I do.
You were so lost, so confused.
But I helped you, didn't I?
I helped you become
what you are.
I told you God had a plan.
Now look.
Was I right?
Why me? Why did you come to me?
Well, you must realise by now
that you are special.
You see things, you feel things
from the other side.
And one day, we will do
extraordinary things.
-Do I have to?
-Yes, you do.
I can show you again
in the book
No, I
Four deaths to echo
the deaths from the past.
It's what was missing.
But I found it.
Now I understand.
Do you understand
the part you're going to play?
Yeah.
You are perfection.
Callum showed me
that I was special.
That I'd suffered for something.
That there was a plan to it all,
a purpose.
And this is it.
Your purpose was to kill
three innocent people?
It had to be done.
You don't understand,
but it had to be done.
Why don't you help me, Frankie?
Why don't you help me
to understand?
They didn't suffer.
They were numbed.
They were asleep.
And they weren't innocent.
A rapist, a con man
and a parasite.
They all deserved to die.
Do you know that things
that Damien Tovey said
about my mother on that show?
Oh, look, we'd all like to kill
a podcaster.
I had to do it.
Do you know why
it didn't work before?
Because the vessel
wasn't strong enough.
It killed Kate Reynolds
because she wasn't prepared,
but I'm prepared!
Echoing the deaths of the past,
it strengthens the vessel!
It's in the book.
Why are you laughing?
Oh, I don't know, Frankie.
It's just that I'm dead,
aren't I?
And you're fucking insane.
I want you to know
that they didn't suffer
when I killed them.
But you will.
Because you brought my mother
into this.
She was safe in there, Millie.
She was safe.
And you dragged her into this.
So you'll suffer.
Is Georgia still upstairs?
Yep.
Do you think she knew?
Bit of it, maybe.
Is she gonna be OK?
Probably not.
No-one really is in the end,
so
There's a car coming for her.
To take her back to Havenbrook.
Listen, I don't want to do this,
but
can you wait with her
till it comes?
I gotta head back.
-Gotta try and figure out
-I know where she is.
You're asking me
to convince my boss
to charter a plane
to a radio telescope that's been
abandoned since 1987.
I'll bet it's not abandoned
anymore.
Just wait with her, yeah?
Yep.
It's not your fault.
I should have protected her.
Callum will have her out there
at Parrish Station.
Yeah.
I tried to tell Hardy.
Don't know if it'll fly
with the brass.
But you'll go, though,
won't you?
I'm going.
-Yes.
-Yeah.
Yeah.
Who was Margaret O'Connor, then?
I think she was just
Margaret O'Connor. Just a lady.
Just a nice old lady.
Well, she wasn't that nice.
Oh!
He's got my baby.
He's twisted her.
And I don't know what to do!
What do I do?
How can I save her?
Well, George
I'm gonna go kill a guy
in the desert.
And you're welcome to come.
We're OK, thanks, Izzy.
You bash me now, I'm gonna
look like a real dickhead.
Lockwood's been trying
to reach you.
Your dad too.
You know he sprung for a silk, right?
That's a mortgage
on the house right there.
-I didn't ask him to do that.
-Yeah, well, he has.
He's telling me -
and fuckin' hell, George,
he has to have this wrong -
that you're demanding
to stand trial.
I am.
You have rigged
the indictment lottery here.
-I didn't kill anyone.
-Institutionalisation.
Take some meds. Chat to
a shrink. Paint a fuckin' mural.
Out in a decade. Less, maybe.
-Take the deal.
-I didn't shoot her.
Take the deal.
How'd she die?
Have you seen her body?
Has anyone?
Charlie? Or does Callum
run the place now?
I'm fuckin' sorry!
Is everything alright?
We're fine, Izzy. It's fine.
I can't
I cannot let this fuckin' thing
claim everyone.
Have you thought about Frankie?
What a trial would do to her?
Media attention?
They'll try to get her
to testify.
She says you shot Reynolds.
She's been through a lot.
Next year, you want her
visiting you for Christmas
in a place like this?
If you won't do it for yourself,
do it for her.
George.
You know, he's persuasive,
that Callum.
I just say this 'cause whatever
he's got Frankie believing,
she's not the first one.
I know.
Yeah. Reynolds. Tolliver.
Some very well educated people
believe that bullshit.
Yeah.
'Cause it is bullshit, right?
Might feel a little better
if I heard you say it,
that you know it's bullshit.
-Hardy.
-Where are you?
Where's Georgia? I just spoke
to a uniform at the rectory
and he said that
I dropped her back
at Havenbrook hours ago.
Thought I told you that.
Didn't I call you?
Called someone.
No, you didn't, but listen,
we've pulled
some airline records.
Frankie Webb has taken
five trips to Barrawin
in the past six months.
Barrawin's the closest town
to that
-I know where it is.
-Right, OK.
Well, it's not simple.
Could take me a few hours
to pull a team together.
What did you say?
Can't hear you.
Can you speak up, please?
-Just stay where you
-Hello? Hello?
Hello?
She'll die soon.
Are you still upset, Francesca?
What would I be upset about?
Well, your assistant,
uh, Mary, was it?
Margaret.
You didn't have to kill her.
She wasn't part of the plan.
Well, she made a choice.
I'm not sure that she did.
She chose to pry, to interfere.
That's a choice.
Just you and me now, hm?
It's simpler.
I've waited 37 years,
and it's time again.
Do you feel it?
The synchronicity?
Yes.
Are you ready?
I am.
I'm very proud of you.
Thought Frankie
might have had a shot
at a normal life.
What's that?
She never stood a chance.
Listen, Frank,
I know that some of the things
that have happened
over the past year,
some of the things
that I've done,
I know that
they're really confusing
What things?
Oh, look, love,
your mum's sick,
and that's why
she's in hospital.
She's gonna get better,
but when you're sick,
sick in the brain,
you do things that
I'm not sick.
You George.
And, Frank, if people try
and tell you that
-Oh, George!
-No, look at me. Frankie.
Hey.
If people try and tell you
that I'm sick, I'm not, OK?
-Frankie, when you're older
-Alright, we might
We might try this
another time, eh?
-Dad.
-Nuh. Some other time, I think.
Come on, love, let's go.
Frank, do you want to
do a check?
I've got 10:21
and 49, 50, 51
Frankie?
You're not dead.
Should be able to see it by now.
Yeah, well, I can't.
Yeah, well, I'm just saying
we should be able to.
-Here, give me that.
-Give me the fucking map.
Keep your eye
on the fuckin' road!
-Wait, I see it.
-Where?
Over there! Over there!
Can you see it?
The tower.
Just hold on!
Why'd you stop?
I didn't.
The car did.
Cavalry's coming.
Very soon.
Will you stay with me?
Wait.
Do you really think
there's someone out here, Hardy?
Just stay close.
Wait here.
-What?
-Do you feel that?
Yeah. In my knees, yeah.
Fuckin' hell.
No, no, that feeling.
What is that?
Are you really gonna kill him?
Well, I'm not here
for a haircut, Georgie.
What are you gonna do
when we find Frankie?
I'm gonna talk to her.
Well, she's gone insane.
You might want to factor that
into your approach.
She's just confused.
Yeah, she thinks
she's gonna birth a god.
I'd say she's a little more
than confused.
-And Farah?
-Farah might already be dead.
Whoa!
Oh!
That came from
underground.
-You wait here.
-Frankie could be down there.
She's the vessel.
She's in the tower.
-Just wait.
-OK.
-I'll come back.
-OK.
-You know, Georgie
-Yeah?
If I'd had your back in '87,
things would have
washed out different.
I don't know if this goes
any way to atone
It doesn't.
Go.
Georgie
we'll always have Parrish.
Oh, fuck off.
Terrible.
Just fuckin' terrible.
Fuck! Fuck!
-You're not here.
-There is no here.
There is no now.
What's gonna happen to me?
It sleepeth in the darkness,
dead,
with hunger of unended years.
Fuck it!
Callum!
Callum!
Callum!
Callum!
Frankie?
Frankie!
Frankie!
Frankie?
Frankie!
Why did you come?
You shouldn't have come.
You're OK.
You You'll be OK.
I'm OK.
He's still in here.
Michael Thorne,
as I live and breathe.
How the heck are you?
You have to leave.
I will. With you.
-Let's go. It's over.
-It's not.
He's gonna fix me.
He's gonna fix everything.
OK.
He's not. He's not, baby.
Whatever he's told you
is not true.
It's impossible.
You were there.
You were at the bonfire.
-You saw.
-I was unwell.
-You were just a kid.
-You saw!
OK, I saw.
I saw a woman in a lot of pain.
In agony.
Is that what you want?
It'll be different.
Callum told me. I'm prepared.
-I'm special, Mum.
-You are, my darling.
But what is it you think
is coming here?
It's God.
I'm glad we had
this chance to chat.
I feel things ended
rather badly between us.
So we know have a chance for
What is that trendy word?
Closure.
What do you think?
I know.
You think I'm insane.
No, I don't think you're insane.
I think you're a coward.
A coward?
You're afraid of it.
Whatever this is.
You've been chasing something
all your life
and you're still afraid of it.
Well
you're pathetic, you know that?
Pathetic.
Huh. Yeah.
I know.
You've got to go, Mum.
OK, Frankie, let's say
you're right. It's God.
Then why hasn't Callum
done it himself?
If it's such an honour,
why is he always
getting someone else
infected by it?
Because I'm not worthy.
It's time.
Put on the headphones.
Don't, Frank.
Do as I say.
You can leave or die,
it makes no difference to me.
Don't hurt her.
Quiet.
He won't hurt you, Frank.
That right, Callum? You can't.
You've worked too hard on her.
Francesca, do as I say
or I will kill her here and now.
I will shoot her.
Do you understand me?
I don't care, Frank.
I don't Run!
Oh!
Francesca!
She'll be back.
She will be back.
There's still time.
And then she's gonna be
a mother.
You should be very proud.
She is special, Georgia.
A lot of parents struggle
to see that in their children.
I don't know what this is.
If it's a signal, if it's God,
if it's nothing.
You don't understand the power.
If you're talking, don't bother.
I can't hear you.
But one thing I know
for certain,
whatever it is
you're terrified of hearing it.
I want to tell you
a story.
That's all I've ever
wanted to do.
Let those who have passed away
tell their stories through me.
I don't see myself
as a podcaster
or a journalist
or an entertainer.
I consider myself, in many ways,
a vessel.
And a DJ.
I didn't want to do this show.
It's been three months
since Damien died,
three months since the second
massacre at Parrish Station,
and we have, in a sense,
some closure now.
Michael Thorne died
in his rescue attempt
and will be remembered
in the media nationwide
as the hero of Moorland.
Millie Farah,
having survived the massacre,
is currently listed by
the Police Department
as being on extended leave.
I can actually
speak about this now.
I worked with Millie
during the search for Damien
three months ago.
I consider her a colleague
and a friend.
Callum Parrish's body
was found in the radio tower.
The official medical report
puts the cause of death
as heart failure,
although that report
is heavily redacted.
Unfortunately,
the only other two people
who might be able
to shed light on this
are unavailable for comment.
There we are.
All I've ever wanted to do
was tell stories,
because stories have power.
In this room, right now,
they're just sound,
vibrations in the air
passing from a speaker
to your ears.
But stories are the way
we understand the world
and ourselves.
But first
building a website
should be fun.
