Nine Perfect Strangers (2021) s02e08 Episode Script

1
She is fucking with our minds!
This group has been specifically culled
to complement each other.
We're not here to be comfortable.
Zauberwald, I want it to be yours.
What?
[MARTIN] If Masha wouldn't have
duped my mother on her deathbed,
then I would be the one in charge.
No, I think your mother knew
exactly what she was doing.
I'm worried about Martin.
- [MARTIN] Am I a bad person?
- [GLASS SHATTERING]
What I'm trying to understand is
am I capable of doing evil?
Hello. I've missed you.
It's like all these satellites
firing away,
they're useless unless you have
the technology to guide them.
I found that.
Then why don't you give up
the military contracting
and all of these things that you do?
He needs to atone for what he has done.
- Or you could choose to forgive him.
- No.
That forgiveness
isn't solely mine to give.
This won't be easy,
and it might be painful,
but you will grow from this.
[EERIE MUSIC PLAYING]
Each of you has a connection
to David Sharpe.
Some of you are already aware,
such as Brian,
who had the unique experience of
being covered by David's news programs.
Children's TV host
slash certified lunatic,
Brian Tumkin, showing the world
his true colors.
No one films on my set
but me, motherfucker!
[MASHA] Just one of the many souls
whose worst moment
was covered and dissected endlessly
on his broadcast.
Hold on, h-hold on.
You think I I personally have time
to oversee my news team's coverage?
Tumkin?
What kind of fucking name is that?
He's meant to be
a children's fucking entertainer.
He's meant to look after the kids.
You can't just scream at them.
Must be nice to delegate
such trivial things.
But that that's part of the gig. I
- Is there anything wrong with that?
- [MASHA] Not necessarily.
You like to keep your hands clean.
That's why you use your charities
to launder your name with the public.
Like the scholarship program,
the one for young musicians
that would never have
been able to study,
were it not for your generous support.
I'm not sure which one
you're referring to.
[MASHA] The program is gone
because a change in state tax law
meant that Signal Op
could no longer write it off.
Twenty young talented musicians,
just gone.
But I'm sure Wolfie
could tell you how that felt.
Everyone in the whole program
had to drop out.
And we weren't given
any kind of an explanation.
What, you think I I've got anything
to do with the scholarship plans
- that my company funds?
- [WOLFIE SCOFFS]
[DAVID] I'm sure we would
have shifted the money
into some other worthy cause.
I don't decide what's tax deductible.
I don't make the laws.
[MASHA] No, of course not.
It can't be you, I mean, it's
it's the system, isn't it, David?
- Yeah.
- [MASHA SCOFFS]
It's the
[DISTORTED] it's the system.
But no one plays the system better
than David Sharpe.
Agnes, you saw the results of that.
Mother Irene,
she ran war-zone hospitals.
[NUNS PRAYING INDISTINCTLY]
But her adherence to strict dogma
caused preventable deaths.
[PATIENT GASPING]
They were preventable.
It wasn't just you, Agnes.
David Sharpe's company
funded her humanitarian work.
His satellite technology
was used to bomb the victims,
and he funded the hospitals that claimed
to heal their wounds.
We did the exposé on her.
We were the ones that put her away.
That was only after you learned
the other media outlet
was preparing an exposé.
You had to beat them. You had to win.
How long before that did you know
about these atrocities?
[SISTER AGNES] Everyone involved knew.
You had to know.
What, so I'm on trial
for protecting myself?
Are you serious?
Every one of you would have done
exactly the same thing
if you'd been in my situation.
Oh, no. I don't think so.
Now
Matteo.
But Matteo here lost more
than any of us can imagine.
His parents and his three siblings
lost their lives to a "smart bomb."
The "smart" refers
to a satellite guidance technology
that was created by Signal Op.
- [PEOPLE CHATTERING]
- [BABIES CRYING]
[PATIENT COUGHING]
I need to speak with you. In private.
Anything you need to say, Victoria,
please, you can say to the group.
[WHISPERING] No.
Brian, you're in charge.
- I'm in charge?
- Where the hell are they going?
[WIND WHISTLING]
Come. Come, come, my darling.
Oh.
It hurts me to see you
be so cruel to yourself.
Was I too strict in raising you?
[MARTIN WHIMPERS] No
You're everything I could
ever want in a child.
There isn't a thing
I would change about you.
[MARTIN SIGHS]
Except perhaps how cruel
you can be to yourself.
How?
[WHISPERING] I don't know how.
Mommy?
Mommy?
Oh no.
Mommy?
[SOBBING]
Please don't leave me!
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
[GROANING, CHEWING]
Imogen is a smart girl.
Once she realizes who created
the satellite technology
that guided those bombs,
it won't take her long
to realize the real reason
her father killed himself.
Brian, you want your show back?
I can make that happen, prime time,
and I can make it so no one
will remember why you lost it.
[WHISPERING] Just untie me.
You're not tied.
Oh.
[DISTORTED] Oh.
Oh, fuck this, then.
[GROANING]
[DAVID GRUNTING]
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
[SIGHS]
Shit, I'm back here again.
[DOOR CLOSES]
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
[MARTIN BREATHING SHAKILY]
[VICTORIA] David Sharpe exploited
my husband's brilliance.
The poor man couldn't live with it.
- You knew that?
- No, I only knew he sold it
to some anonymous holding company.
There is value in the truth.
You know, sometimes as a mother,
the lies that you let your child believe
are just as important as the truth.
Please don't dredge this up for her.
It's my prerogative to ask you this.
As a mother.
You were a mother.
I bet you were a good one.
[OMINOUS MUSIC CONTINUES PLAYING]
Mommy, stop!
I miss you.
I miss you so much. So much.
I'm tired of waiting. Bring Daddy.
- We can be together.
- [BREATHING HEAVILY] No.
No
- Please?
- I have work to do.
You're a bad Mommy!
I hate you. I hate you.
I hate you! I hate you!
I object to this.
Tina, what is it? You're uncomfortable?
Yeah, I feel uncomfortable
because this is supposed to be
a fucking wellness retreat
and we've spent all week,
all week dealing with our pain,
and it's been it's been really hard.
But this, this is not healing.
This is about you.
This is your fucking
psychedelic witch trial.
And what? You're gonna tell me
fucking Lord Voldemort's the reason
why I can't play piano?
No. That's not the reason you're here.
Then why the fuck am I here?
Because you're with her.
What, she's here with me?
I thought I was only
here because of her.
[TINA SCOFFS]
Great. So, I'm the plus one.
Alright, can we
can we go now, please?
I'm staying.
You can go. I'll see you in the room.
[SCOFFS]
Fuck this.
Mm. This is a voluntary exercise.
Anyone else that wants to leave,
please feel free.
[OMINOUS MUSIC CONTINUES]
[WHISPERING] Imogen?
Good.
And now, for the fun part.
[FOOTSTEPS THUDDING]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
[DOOR SLAMS SHUT]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES]
[MARTIN MUTTERING]
And a truly meaningful form of therapy
can help to heal the individual,
but it can also,
in a small way, heal the world.
And sometimes you shouldn't deal
with pain gently.
Sometimes you're gonna need to grab it
and punch it in the face.
[MARTIN] Mama?
[HELENA] Ugh. What do you want?
I'm in the middle of something.
What? Hi.
What did you want?
Why are you bothering me?
- I
- [MOCKINGLY] "I I I I"
[BLOWS RASPBERRY]
Use your big boy voice, Martin.
- [SHAKING] Okay.
- You look ridiculous.
I just wanted to see you.
Mm-hmm? You think I wanted to see you?
That's the one good thing with death,
not having to look
at your stupid face every day.
No, no, no, no.
No. [LAUGHING]
No, no.
You wouldn't say something like that.
It's just
- No, no.
- No?
Oh, this is not real.
Well, I was thinking it.
Why do you think I didn't want you
running this place, huh?
You wanted me back so badly.
Oh!
But now, you can't stand the kind
of truth I always gave you in life.
- [MARTIN GASPS]
- You remembered my love.
You've forgotten my cruelty.
[MARTIN PANTING]
[HELENA LAUGHING]
Don't laugh at me!
Such a big man pointing his big gun
at his mother, hm?
If there's anyone you
should be angry at,
it's the people you've let steal
our family's property.
The people who supplanted you, huh?
Masha and her little pet billionaire.
[SCOFFS]
So ineffective, such a loser.
[LOUD GUNSHOT]
[MUFFLED MUSIC PLAYING ON HEADPHONES]
I invited you all here
because we are all connected
through lies,
and exploitation, and pain.
I wanted to give you
a full understanding
of how this man's life
has affected all of your lives.
And now, I invite you all together
to decide on the proper remedy.
I will pass the floor over to you all.
Please.
[OMINOUS MUSIC CONTINUES PLAYING]
Look, I've sat here patiently.
I've listened to all of this.
Do I get a chance to defend myself?
- Masha?
- If you all wish to hear from him,
then let him speak.
Good.
Now, I've made mistakes.
I'm sorry, this is such
a fucking cop out, come on.
- Are you hearing this bullshit?
- Just let him say his piece.
- Just let him say his piece.
- What happened to letting me speak?
[BRIAN] Okay.
Let's hear it.
Well, the more power you have,
the more opportunity you have,
whether you like it or not,
to hurt people.
Now, you blame me for these bombs
that my company's technology created.
But I didn't start the war.
I didn't call in the airstrike.
I-I'm not sitting in the cockpit
pulling the, uh
you know, the [SIGHS]
- trigger, trigger.
- [DISTORTED VOICE WHISPERING]
- What did you say?
- [BRIAN] What? Nothing.
I don't think anyone said anything.
You're hearing things.
Okay, uh
Sorry. Where was I?
You were deflecting,
blaming everyone else.
Hey, I have a really bad feeling
about tonight.
[DAVID] I'm here with you.
- Okay, we gotta get the fuck outta here.
- [DAVID] I've been here
- the whole time
- Babe, either sit down or leave.
- [DAVID] doing all of
- Wolfie?
- whatever Masha says for us to do.
- The vibes are not good.
[DAVID] And now you're just gonna
follow her in attacking me?
[DAVID] Masha's given you
a comprehensive rundown
of all the terrible things
I'm supposed to have done.
But please, don't forget,
I'm just a person.
- [BRIAN LAUGHING]
- Isn't that what this is all about?
Aren't we all just people,
flawed people, doing our best?
- I mean, I've had trauma!
- [VICTORIA] Oh!
- [BRIAN LAUGHING]
- I've had trauma just like you.
What about all the good things
I've done? Nobody talks about those.
- How I overcame a terrible childhood.
- Fucking hell.
And became an amazing father to my son.
[PETER] You know what?
I'm not gonna just sit here
and listen to this bullshit.
[DAVID] Peter?
Oh, cut the fucking waterworks, okay?
No one believes you.
And you.
Why would you think
that putting some sort of narcissist
at the center of a morality play
would be a punishment?
Okay, he wants to be the main character.
He revels in it.
You've made him the star.
You think those are real tears
that he's crying?
- What are you talking about?
- Come on, Dad.
You learned how to cry on demand
for some 60 Minutes fluff piece.
I remember watching at the dinner table
with your performance coach, practicing.
Do you really hate me that much?
You have to believe I care, Peter.
I love you with all my heart.
I don't believe a word you say anymore.
It's all bullshit.
Oh, okay, well, maybe you
don't believe that then.
Fine.
Well, just fucking kill me then.
I I can't do this anymore.
Just do it already.
I mean, you've got
the firing squad right here.
There must be a gun somewhere
in this godforsaken castle.
It's clearly what she wants,
so why don't you fucking do it?
I'd like a word.
[DAVID] You? Why?
What have
what have I ever done to you?
- I think you knew my father.
- Immy, don't.
- Jonathan Auclair.
- [DAVID] Uh
I can't remember.
I can't picture him, to be honest.
You know what, David?
Sometimes neither can I.

I'm so sorry for the things I've done.
- Swear to God, I had no idea.

What can I do to stop you crying?
[PETER] Why don't you
stop building bombs?
Stop building bombs?
I've come to terms
with you being a shitty father,
but there's still time for you
not to be a shitty human.
Stop building bombs?
Well, it's just a small part
of the business, Dad.
It is.
It is only a small part of the business.
Are you telling me
that's all it would take
to wash my hands of all this death?
Right. Starting immediately,
Signal Op is getting out of the business
of weapons production, completely out.
We will not spend another penny
on hurting anybody.
In fact, we'll move
all of the money and the staff
from weapons production into charity.
In fact, we'll move everything
into charity.
Then, we can build better hospitals.
We can make better music programs.
How do we know
you won't change your mind tomorrow?
You will know
because I'm gonna do it right now.
I'm gonna call everyone right now.

- Oh.
- Um, but I assume
you come to New York often.
I love New York. I I do.
Um, I've been once or twice.
One would imagine more, but I No.
Okay.
You know what? Fuck it.
I'm just gonna spit it out, okay?
Look, I can't for the life of me
wrap my head around
not being able to see you again.
So, I'm thinking
in a couple months' time
- Mm-hmm.
- if you're in Europe,
or if I'm in the States, maybe we can
My daughter will make herself
available to you,
any time or any place.
Just send the private jet.
[IMOGEN] Mom!
Don't ever send a private jet.
It's a great idea.
Okay.
Imogen.
- Mm.
- Okay.

Starting immediately,
Signal Op is getting out of the business
of weapons production.
Completely out, we will not spend
another penny on hurting anyone.
In fact, what we'll do is we'll
move all of the weapons

In fact, we'll move
everything into charity!

[DAVID] [ON PHONE] You have no idea
how badly you've
just fucked yourself!
Hm, I thought I might hear from you.
You think this is gonna work?
I will find a way out of this
and you will have wasted your reputation
on a stupid fucking prank.
We'll have to see if you're right.
[DAVID] Oh, my God,
you are a fucking snake.
You fucking two-bit jumped-up
Communist fucking drug dealer.
Uh, let's talk later.
I feel like you need
a little time to process.
No, no, no. No!
Hang up this phone, I swear to God.
- You'll what? Hm?
- I'm serious.
- Okay.
- Masha, Masha, I'm serious.
Oh, I can't hear you.

[DAVID SIGHS]
You dragged me all the way back to
Bavaria to meet me in a McDonald's?
You said you wanted a neutral location.
- You look better.
- I feel better. Hm.
You've had a busy month.
Well, you destroyed
nearly a billion dollars
of my net worth, did you know that?
Mm, you still have five billion left.
Well, more like six,
but the point stands.
[CHUCKLES] Small price to pay
for the amount of love you received.
No, I'd rather be hated
and have the extra billion.
- [CHUCKLES]
- But you didn't give me that option.
- What's this?
- Well, now we've eliminated
the defense side of the business,
we're doing a bit of
corporate rebranding.
I've decided I do want to open
a new wing of the company
focused on psychedelic therapy,
and I want you involved.
Although, knowing how you behave
without oversight,
I wanted some protections.
$100,000?
That's it?
That's what you think I'm worth?
Oh, it's plenty to live on.
No equity, no meaningful controls.
That's absolutely right.
You know I can't sign this.
Oh, I think you can.
And I think you will.
- What's going on?
- It's okay. She's having a little seizure.
[IMOGEN SCREAMING]
And what is this?
Well,
that looks to me like a video record

- [SCREAMING]
lovingly documented
by the criminal herself.
You took this off my personal servers?
- Of course.
- You hacked me.
- No, nothing nothing so sinister.
- That's illegal.
All it took was a payment,
a rather puny one at that,
to our old friend, Martin.
And he felt guilty about it,
but I can't blame him
because he's gotta keep the lights on
at the old family
property down the road.
I suggest that next time
you surround yourself
with people you can trust.
Now,
the public doesn't need to see this.
[CLEARING THROAT] And it won't,
if you sign it today.
I can fight you.
I can make it very ugly for you.
Yeah,
but I've got a whole army behind me,
and you've got nothing but debts.
I just have to snap my fingers,
I've got a whole corporate division
devoted to ensuring you spend the rest
of your sad, penniless life
crawling from courtroom to courtroom
like a slug.
Why did you come to Zauberwald?
I told you, for my son.
I don't buy it.
No?
No.
You said to me
you never forgot that night in Prague.
Well, that's true.
I don't think it's 'cause
I was a spectacular lover.
I think it's because
finally, someone saw
the good person in you
the person you were afraid to be.
And you came back to Zauberwald
because you wanted to be forced
to do the right thing for once.
Oh, and is that why you pissed me off?
Because you wanted to be forced
to behave like a sane person for once?
Okay. You want me to sign this?
You're gonna regret it.
Oh.
I'm counting on it.
You know we're stuck together,
you and me, we're family.
- Are we?
- Yes.
We share a daughter. Always will.
And you may not love your family.
But you can't get rid of them.
