Will Trent (2023) s04e08 Episode Script

1
[WILL] Previously on Will Trent…
Get down!
[GUNSHOT]
Amanda took a bad hit.
How bad is it?
[GRUNTS, COUGHS]
[WILL] Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey.
You know there's no shame
in the next chapter, Amanda.
Anybody who's been through
what we've been through
has a monster inside.
[WILL] The fear. The rage.
- [GRUNTS]
- You can't let it win, Will.
[CALEB] It's probably the fuel pump.
No, I just checked that last
month. It's the gas out here.
What about our gas?
Whenever I have dinner with
you, I can't find pure gasoline,
so I need to fill up with ethanol gas,
now my carburetor's all messed up.
It's gonna be hours before
my tow guy gets here.
Or maybe it's the fuel
pump and you just missed it.
I rebuilt this car from scratch.
I think I know how to
check my fuel pump.
Oh, wait, you rebuilt this from scratch?
Maybe mention that, like,
another 30 or 40 times.
Why are you dressed like that?
I coach Calvin's baseball
team on Sundays.
- You coach a Little League team?
- Yeah.
I coached my daughter's softball
team too when they were young.
You ever play sports?
- No.
- You got airbags in this car?
'Cause I'm not sure I like you driving
all the way out here without airbags.
There is no substitute for a Porsche.
There's no substitute for Will Trent.
Why don't you just get a truck?
Oh, that's a brilliant idea.
Right, so I could be the
one that's crumpling people.
Now, tell me something, do you even see
the pedestrians before
you mow them down?
No, I don't even feel them.
I just drive straight through.
[PHONE RINGS]
Roussard.
No kidding. All right, Kenny.
They found a dead body at the drive-in.
I guess our dinner date's gonna
have to wait. You wanna come along?
Okay.
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYS]
Is this the position the body
was in when it was found?
Yes, sir. The drive-in staff found
her when they arrived at work today.
Said they didn't touch her.
[CALEB] It's weird.
It's like she's in a coffin.
She's got two little
puncture marks on her neck.
- No way.
- [CALEB] Does she look pale to you?
[WILL] There's no blood pooling.
No way.
- It's possible she's been exsanguinated.
- What's exsanguinated?
- Drained of blood.
- Why didn't you just say that?
Freaky pose. Bite marks
on the neck. No blood.
- Exsanguinated.
- You fellas thinking what I'm thinking?
No, we are not.
Don't say it, Kenny.
- Vampire.
- Okay, give me back my dog. Come on.
Her little body makes me
feel calm when I hold her.
- I know.
- This paint looks fresh.
We need a better view.
Let's see it from up there.
Can you get the keys, Kenny?
We've been having problems with
theft, so we had to change the locks.
Now our projectionist and I
are the only ones with a key.
He's usually here by now.
- I can't believe this happened to Avery.
- Y'all think she was murdered?
You saw how we found her.
She didn't die on her own like that.
I'm not asking you, Landon.
Okay… [EXHALES] …Appreciate it.
What exactly would
people try to steal in here?
You never know. Um, I mean,
the film reels in these
cases are very valuable.
Do you have any lights
you can turn on out there?
Yeah, sure thing.
[WILL, CALEB] Pentagram.
Huh.
- Wow.
- Wow.
Oh, geez.
[BARKS]
Maybe Kenny is right.
[WILL SIGHS]
- Would you two give us a minute?
- Sure.
Pentagrams are associated
with all kinds of things:
witchcraft, Satanism, astrology.
You know what they're
not associated with?
- Vampires.
- A satanic vampire, then.
Oh, not a thing. Please pick a thing.
This is a psychotic killer.
It's not gonna all line up.
[EDUARDO] Location of
Porsche has changed. Moving east.
What? The tow guy's not there
yet. Someone's stealing my car.
No, no, no, I called my buddy Mike,
he's towing it to his shop for you.
You did what? Is he using a flatbed?
Will, your prissy foreign
car is in good hands.
Why must you be like this?
Helpful? Generous?
You overstepped.
You're an "overstepper."
What can you two tell me about Avery?
She was a good employee,
always showed up on time.
She was nice to everyone.
Enemies?
Avery? No.
She have any particular
interest in vampires?
What?
Well, if you wanna
talk about vampire stuff,
you should maybe talk to Viktor.
He's our projectionist.
Why should we talk to him?
[CHUCKLES] You'll see.
[WILL] So, would you say
you're interested in vampirism?
I'm more than interested.
It's my whole life.
I don't understand.
Who would kill Avery?
I mean, she was, like, the only
person who's ever been nice to me.
Viktor, we
- It's Viktor, with a K.
- "Vikter."
- Viktor.
- "Viktar."
- Viktor.
- Viktor.
Okay. Whatever.
Vik, why didn't you
show up to work today?
- I was riding my bike there…
- [BETTY WHINES]
…when some asshole in a
pickup threw a milkshake on me,
so I had to come home and change.
- Into that?
- [BETTY YAPS]
- [BARKS, GROWLS]
- [WILL] Does that happen to you often?
Yeah, but…
[STUTTERS] People have
a hard time with all of this.
You're a vampire?
- Yes.
- For how long?
Since I was 12.
But you don't look 12.
- You're a vampire who ages?
- [WILL SIGHS]
I didn't kill Avery.
Someone is setting me up.
- Do you drink blood?
- Caleb.
What? It's relevant. We have
a body that was exsanguinated.
I get my blood from the
same place as you do.
A juicy burger, a steak.
Tell me about your
house. It's… It's beautiful.
Well-lit. Um, how do you afford it?
The house belonged to
my great-aunt. I inherited it.
Some of these pieces were hers.
The rest are Facebook Marketplace.
What do your parents think of all this?
They're dead.
There's a lot of deaths in your family.
From natural causes or werewolves?
- Caleb.
- Excuse me, I must rest.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
I'm arresting that guy.
What? On what grounds?
On the grounds that the vampire
committed the vampire murder.
Look, I don't think he has the
fortitude to kill someone. Okay?
[STUTTERS] And besides,
what about the-the pentagram?
This guy knows vampires.
Whoever did it is trying
to pin it on him and badly.
Oh, my God. Is there any freak
you will not empathize with?
You know what? This is my case now.
Like hell it is. GBI has to be
invited in just like a vampire.
You invited me when you
brought me to the crime scene.
I'm in charge. We're leaving now.
Viktor.
- Mm-hmm?
- Don't leave town.
Okay.
[KNOCKS ON DOOR]
How's it going, Ms. Wagner?
Um… [CLEARS THROAT]
It's not quite right, Tamara.
No problem. Can I get you
another color? The mustard maybe?
It's not the color. It's just a no.
Okay. Call if you need anything else.
It's been a while since I've seen you
in the store. I hope you've been well.
Yes. Thank you.
[EXHALES, SNIFFLES]
- [GLASS SHATTERS]
- [BURGLAR 1] Give me your wallet right now
- and get on the ground!
- [PEOPLE SCREAMING]
- [BURGLAR 1] Nobody move!
- [BURGLAR 2] Empty your purses now!
[GUNSHOTS]
[PEOPLE SCREAMING]
[BURGLAR 2] The hell
did you shoot him for?
[BURGLAR 1] He had a gun, dumbass.
Hey! Put that phone down.
Back up. Get against the wall.
[BURGLAR 2] Empty
your purses now! Let's go!
The jewels, right there.
Give me the jewels.
Yo. Don't be talking over here.
Geez.
Hey, bitch. I said don't move.
[WHIMPERS]
Are you thinking of trying something?
What's going on?
Mom?
[GRUNTS]
GBI! Arms out, ankles crossed.
Call 911.
[PANTING]
All right.
Hey, how's she doing?
I can't treat her if she won't
come out of the dressing room.
All right, we'll talk to her.
- Come here.
- Yeah.
You okay, ma'am?
Amanda?
[AMANDA] I just need a minute.
Oh, hey, is Wagner in there?
I got some questions for her.
Jesse from Robbery. Just who I
wanted to talk to. You got kids, right?
- I wanted to ask you about day care. So…
- [STUTTERS] Okay.
- So, yeah, is it two kids? Boys?
- [JESSE] Yeah, two kids.
Ma'am.
[AMANDA] I can't let
them see me like this.
Okay. Well, it's just
you and me now, so…
[INHALES] …you can
unlock the door. I got you.
[LOCK CLICKS]
[MICHAEL EXHALES]
[AMANDA WHIMPERS]
[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]
You should know that everyone
out there thinks you're a hero.
[WHIMPERING] I'm not a hero. I froze.
I almost died. Again.
- No. No, you stopped a violent situation.
- [CRYING] No.
You saved a girl's life. Yes, you did.
And now you're in shock,
and that's a completely normal response
for something like this. Trust me.
[EXHALES]
You just need a little
oxygen and some water.
I'm gonna help you, okay? Come on.
- I got ya.
- [GRUNTS, EXHALES]
Will, what are we doing here?
This doesn't need to be our case.
He was gonna arrest the
wrong guy. I had to, Faith.
That's right. I was
gonna arrest a vampire.
- Why are you so close to me?
- I'm trying to get in the picture.
Well, you don't need
to be in the picture.
This is a GBI meeting. Don't overstep.
Why are you still out there, Will?
My car's in the shop, and I
had to sleep at Caleb's last night.
Bettina made pancakes.
Yes. With strawberries,
whipped cream and sprinkles.
Would anyone like to
know the cause of death?
Yes, please.
Blood loss. Victim had an
anticoagulant in her system.
She has two small
wounds to her carotid here,
which is where she
was exsanguinated from.
Did you pay him to say that?
Bleeding her must have taken
a while. Was she sedated?
Overstepping. Major.
Pete. Was she sedated?
She was. Look at this.
- Fentanyl patch.
- Applied shortly before death.
No signs she was a regular drug user.
[FAITH] Hmm.
What are these ligature
marks on her ankles?
[PETE] Uh, my guess, she was hung
upside-down to facilitate the bleeding,
maybe from a hunting rack.
One last thing, this
was in the vic's pocket.
Uh, movie ticket.
Hmm. The back of it says, "2:00
p.m. Sunday, 3644 Black Deer Road."
That's the afternoon she died.
Avery was gonna meet someone.
That address is in
the middle of nowhere.
You guys wanna go check it out?
Faith, this is a GBI case
now. You and I should go.
You're not gonna get up Black
Deer Road without a four-wheel drive.
Well, it seems like you
two have it under control.
No. No, Faith
- Have fun, you two. Bye-bye.
- Faith!
Hey, there's nothing like a
break in the case. Let's go.
[WILL] This must be it.
[EERIE MUSIC PLAYS]
Will. Hunting rack.
Hey. GBI. Show me your hands.
I don't understand. Avery's dead?
Seems like you
understand perfectly well.
I didn't have anything to do with that.
Why don't you tell us about
this, uh, bucket of blood?
[STUTTERS] I was bleeding this boar.
It came on my property, I
killed it. You gotta bleed a boar.
No, that's true. You
have to bleed a boar.
We're gonna need a sample
of that blood, though, to test it.
Where were you yesterday afternoon?
I was here.
Any idea why your address
was in Avery's pocket?
She's gonna bring my son around. Viktor.
Viktor is your son? He told
us his parents were dead.
Yeah. Well, I deserve that.
Is Viktor's mother alive too?
[VIKTOR'S FATHER] Um…
No.
What happened?
I made a mistake, a big one.
Family was in a tight spot.
I took my buddy's gun,
held up a gas station.
Linda was waiting in the car,
and I got in with the money.
We were driving away, and
the owner shot into the car.
She died instantly.
You went away for it. Felony murder.
Viktor was 12. He blamed me.
He's refused to speak to me since.
And Avery was gonna help you reconnect.
Why did she get involved?
She liked Viktor, I think.
She said she just wanted to do
one nice thing for him before she quit.
She was gonna quit her job?
Yeah. She said she's having a
problem with her boss, uh, Pam.
Really?
Hello, Walton Moreland
of Gainesville, Florida.
How do you know who I am?
You gave your name to the
nurses when they checked you in.
Um. I'm on pain meds.
You're not allowed to talk to me.
Walton Moreland, you're
under arrest for armed robbery.
Your partner shot and killed a man.
You help us find him,
and we can help you.
Someone killed someone?
Oh. That's so sad.
Hey, do you think I can
get out of here by tonight?
Why? You got plans?
Yeah, Delphine.
Delphine. Who is that?
You ever meet someone
so perfect for you,
it makes you believe in destiny?
Oh, man. I'd love to feel that
way someday. Tell us more.
I can tell Delphine anything.
And she always understands.
This is great. And you're supposed
to meet up with her tonight, you were?
Yeah. If I don't show
up, she'll be so hurt.
Her love language is quality time. Pfft.
Mine, words of affirmation. [CHUCKLES]
[CHUCKLES] Yeah. Such a good boyfriend.
Walton, we could, uh, get a
message to Delphine if you like.
- Yeah.
- Just give us her address.
We got you, Walton.
Thanks, man. How do you know my name?
[BURGLAR 1] Are you thinking
of trying something? Don't move!
I said put your hands up, bitch!
[SCREAMS]
- [GUNSHOT]
- [AMANDA SCREAMS]
[PANTING]
[FAITH] Amanda?
Are you okay?
Oh.
[BREATHES HEAVILY] I…
I think I need to sit.
Yeah, that's probably a
good idea. Where's your cane?
I hate that cane… [BREATHS HEAVILY]
…I probably don't need it anyway.
Well, you can always
hold my hand. Let's go.
Deputy Director Wagner.
Just who I was looking for.
It's not a good time, Appleyard.
Oh.
Is everything okay?
Y-You look a little bit
What do you need?
I was sorry to hear about your incident.
I'm sure you're worried about
how this will be perceived.
What do you mean?
She saved a child's life.
Yes, and it's commendable.
We all wanna make sure the
record shows this was a clean shoot.
So Internal Affairs will be
contacting you for their investigation.
I'm sure it will be a relief when
their report officially clears you.
Always looking out
for me, aren't you, Bill?
I do try.
Good day, ladies.
I hate that guy.
- He's a vulture. He'll peck at anything.
- Hmm.
Pam! Pam, you in there?
I didn't know Ethan had ADHD.
Left field's not right for him.
Let's try him at catcher. He'll love it.
All right, Chuck, thanks,
buddy. I'll see you at practice.
Well, sounds like you really
care about your players.
There's a position out there for
every kid. You just gotta find it.
You're an inspiration to all of us.
Where's Pam anyway?
You want to try again?
Yeah.
Can I help you?
Yeah. Uh, can I get a matinee ticket?
To a drive-in? On foot?
Yeah.
She didn't pick up again.
Hey!
What was that?
She wanted a matinee ticket
until she saw your uniform.
Fast runner.
Matinee tickets sound like code to you?
Sure does. Someone's
dealing drugs out of this drive-in.
We gotta get in this ticket booth.
[GRUNTS]
Okay, I'll boost you.
Nope, I still have my
dignity. I'll boost you.
- [INHALES, GRUNTS]
- Fine.
One, two, three.
- [CALEB] Push.
- Wait. Hold on, I'm… [GRUNTS]
- Whoa. Wait.
- You gotta twist.
I can't twist. I'm stuck.
- You gotta twist yourself.
- No, no, no.
- I'm-I'm coming back. Pull me back.
- Too late now.
- Pull me back. No!
- Can't pull you back now.
[RATTLING]
Will? Will, talk to me.
Next time I boost you.
Get in here and look at this.
Fentanyl patches.
New theory.
Pam was dealing drugs out of
the ticket booth. Avery found out.
Pam killed her to protect herself,
knocked her out with her own fentanyl,
then exsanguinated her to frame Viktor.
It is possible.
- [GUNSHOT]
- [CALEB] Jesus!
[GUNSHOT]
You hooligans better
leave my stash alone!
[GUNSHOTS]
Oh, it's Pam.
Pam, stop shooting!
Jesus.
It's Will Trent, GBI!
[PAM] What?
- [WILL] Put the gun down, Pam!
- Aah.
Okay. Okay. Okay.
You're under arrest.
It's just a little misunderstanding.
We've been having robberies.
I told you… [STUTTERS]
…I didn't know it was you.
- [CALEB] We found the drugs, Pam.
- [VIKTOR GROANING]
[PAM] What drugs?
- Viktor!
- I don't know anything about any drugs.
[GROANING]
Was I just shot?
Yeah, you're gonna be okay,
Viktor. Keep pressure on it.
I'm gonna get you some help.
I'm not sure what I'm doing here or
why you guys have all of my things.
Well, Delphine, we have your boyfriend,
Walton Moreland, in
custody for armed robbery.
He wrote a note for you. It's a
little hard to read his handwriting.
Yeah, we think it says, "I
love you, mon petit flipper."
He thinks Delphine means
dolphin in French. [CHUCKLES]
Okay, um, we're looking for his partner.
Do you know his name?
Where he lives? Anything?
Mmm. Partner? Nothing's coming to mind.
Yeah.
Okay, Delphine, we recovered
$80,000 worth of stolen goods
from your apartment.
They were gifts. I mean, is it
my fault that I inspire generosity?
- If you knew they were stolen? Yes, it is.
- Actually, yeah.
And now you're facing jail time.
I wish I could help you. Me and
Walton barely know each other.
Really? Because he says
he knows your love language.
Does he, though?
[CHUCKLES] All right.
Wow. Wait a second.
That is a real nice watch.
That's funny. It looks a lot like one
of the ones that was stolen last night.
Wow. You know, you're right, Polaski.
And that's really interesting
because we've had Walton
in custody since the robbery.
[CHUCKLES] Delphine, you cunning scamp.
- [SCOFFS]
- You're dating them both?
I haven't done anything wrong.
Yeah, well, your second
boyfriend sure as hell has.
Killed a security guard last night.
So if you know where he is,
you're abetting a murderer.
- Tell us his name!
- Okay, fine.
I'll tell you, but I want
to keep all my stuff.
No.
Fine, just this bag, this necklace.
- Flipper!
- O-Okay, fine.
His name is Seamus DeMario.
I don't know where he lives, but
he took me to a storage unit once.
He let me pick out whatever I
want. I can give you that address.
Thank you so much, Delphine.
[ANNOUNCER ON PA] Calling
Dr. Downs. Dr. Downs to cardiology.
Just confirmed, Pam was at an
AA meeting at the time of the murder.
She's not our killer.
Hey, Viktor. How's your arm?
They said that it missed
everything important.
- As if my left arm isn't important.
- Hmm.
And they're gonna take
the stitches out in two weeks.
Seems like a perfectly normal
human amount of time to heal.
Hey, give the kid a break.
[DOOR OPENS]
Viktor. I heard what
happened. Are you okay?
Landon, I was carrying the film
when it happened. I dropped it.
There's two cases of film that's just
lying out in the middle of the road.
Can you please help?
That's what you're worried
about right now, man?
- Yeah.
- [VIKTOR'S FATHER] I'm looking
for Viktor Langley. W-Which
room is Viktor Langley in?
How does he know that I'm here?
When I filled out the forms,
it asked for next of kin.
Why would you do that?
They haven't talked in ten years.
Oh, wait, I know why.
Habitual overstepper.
You think you know what
everybody needs, don't you?
The form said kin. I wrote down kin.
How does that make me the bad guy?
Viktor, you okay?
No, I don't wanna see you.
Please. I I want
to be a father to you.
It's too late, you can't. It's over.
I just want to know you.
Vampire stuff and all.
Don't you dare make fun of me.
I'm not. I…
My teeth might be fake, but you will
always be the man who killed my mom.
- I'll give you a ride home, all right?
- Please.
[VIKTOR] Don't follow me!
- [PHONE RINGS]
- See what you did?
Oh, I got to take this.
What?
Hi, Cynthia. Thank
you for calling me back.
- Yeah, I know, little Hudson.
- [ELECTRONIC FEEDBACK, HEARTBEAT THUMPING]
I know he's still a little
afraid of the ball, but it's okay.
[DISTORTED] It's perfectly natural.
We're gonna help him find his guts.
He's gonna make a great shortstop
Oh.
[NORMAL] Holy hell! Will!
Cynthia, I gotta call you back.
What was that for?
I I don't know. I apologize. Um…
Now I gotta call Cynthia back!
Yeah, no, of course. Go-Go ahead.
Her son's had a really
hard year. His dog died.
Hudson can go to hell!

You and your stupid Little League team.
You're mad at me because
I'm coaching Little League?
I'm mad because you didn't coach me.
[EXHALES]
I was just a little kid getting kicked
around in a dozen different homes.
All the while, you were, what?
[STAMMERS] Living in your big house.
With your Little League team and
your whipped cream and your sprinkles.
- I didn't know you existed!
- Well, you should've!
Well, I didn't!
And by the way, you gotta step into it.
A little too much

- [WILL] Ow.
- [CALEB EXHALES]
[GRUNTS]
[CALEB] You okay?
Yeah, I mean, you barely touched me.
- You?
- Same. Totally fine.
[EXHALES]
I'm sorry I hit you. You
don't have to forgive me.
I forgive you.
I get it. I hope one day
you'll be able to forgive me.
Should we go back to
talking about the case?
It's probably safer, yes.
[EXHALES]
[BOTH EXHALE]
Viktor said he was carrying
two film cases to the office.
Yeah.
- When we went to the projection booth…
- There were three cases in there.
Exactly. Think that's something?
Could be.
Good talk.
[ANGIE] You get that thing open already?
There's a thousand keys here,
Polaski. I'm trying the best I can.
I've just gotta pee.
Again? You know, it's starting
to feel like dereliction of duty,
- the amount you pee these days.
- [EXHALES, CHUCKLES]
Yeah, right. Pretend you
know what dereliction means.
Oh, sure, make fun of Ormy.
Everyone loves to make fun of Ormy.
[CHUCKLES] Ormy
saves the day, once again.
Whoa.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
Hey! Who the hell are you?
Oh, um. I'm just in the market
for a new TV. You got any?
Whoa!
Hey!
Stop!
Hey! I said stop!
Say derelict again, I dare you.
[PANTING] Ormewood
does not save the day.
You wanna cuff him?
Gotta pee again.
- God!
- [GRUNTS]
[EERIE MUSIC PLAYING]
There's the third film reel.
Okay, so if you aren't the
movie Viktor was screening,
then what are you?
Oh.
- Look at this.
- Is that Avery?
Yeah.
- Oh, my God.
- Yeah.
- It's
- But what about
You go.
And you stay, in case
Yep.
[SIREN WAILING]
Viktor! Viktor!
Viktor! Viktor!
- Viktor.
- Sheriff!
Gotta find Viktor Langley.
Last seen in the company of
Avery's suspected murderer.
Ah. No way. You're saying
the vampire didn't do it?
Doesn't look like it.
Viktor. Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Viktor!
Faint pulse. Pinpoint pupils.
Oh. Fentanyl. He's overdosing.
Kenny, there's Narcan
in the truck. Go get it now.
Come on, kid. Come on, stay with me.
Okay, you want me to
say it? I'm gonna say it.
Are you hearing me?
You're a vampire, okay?
You're a vampire! You cannot
die! You will not die, okay?
Viktor. Viktor!
I'm not losing you, kid. Come on.
I need you to get back in the game!
[GASPS, PANTING]
I It was Landon.

[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]
Landon.
You worked concessions with Avery.
You were obsessed with her.
You didn't know how to tell
her, so you made this movie.
Did you show it to her, Landon?
She was my muse.
Yeah, but she didn't wanna be.
I made something beautiful
for her, because of her,
and she said that it
was weird and creepy,
and that she didn't want… work
the same shift as me anymore.
She rejected you. So you killed
her and framed your coworker.
I could have made her a movie star.
[SIREN BLARES]
Come on. You're under arrest. Let's go.
Come on.
[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYS]
[GRUNTS]
Hey.
Hey, just, uh, came
by to check in on you.
It's good to see you feeling better.
Yeah.
Oh.
Uh, I have to say, I miss the fangs.
[CHUCKLES] Yeah, me too.
But they made it really
hard to eat a sandwich.
Yeah.
Cutting back on some
of the vampire stuff.
I think I will keep the coffin, though.
You know, what's the
deal with the coffin anyway?
When I was a kid, I
was scared of the dark.
And sometimes at night, I used
to climb into bed with my parents.
Once they were gone, I had to figure out
how to deal with the darkness myself.
You became a vampire.
Once I explored the darkness,
it wasn't so scary anymore.
Mmm. Exploring the darkness.
[INHALES] Sounds dangerous. [EXHALES]
It doesn't have to be.
[AUTOMOBILE APPROACHING]
Uh…
Hey, uh, your father's here.
You want me to go talk to him?
Oh, no. I called him.
- You did?
- Yeah.
After Landon put those patches on
me, I started losing consciousness.
And my last thought was,
"I can't believe I'm going to die
before I talk to my dad again."
[CHUCKLES]
[MELANCHOLIC MUSIC PLAYING]
That's, uh… it's very
brave of you, Viktor.
Thanks. I'll see you.
[SIGHS]
[EXHALES]
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
[CALEB] I love all my
kids unconditionally,
but I can't always
say I understand them.
What you doing?
I'm, uh…
exploring the darkness.
I can see that.
I've been doing that lately.
- How's that going?
- Mixed.
I lost my temper earlier.
It's been happening a lot.
It's not fair to you.
Will, I get it.
The fact that I had a son out there
in the world that I didn't know about,
who went through what you went through…
it's the tragedy of my life.
[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]
You know, in a weird way…
it was easier when I
didn't know I had a father.
I had accepted that.
But now you're here.
And all I see is
everything I missed out on.
[EXHALES]
[SMACKS LIPS]
It's hard not to be angry.
I'm sorry I wasn't
there, but I'm here now.
[GULPS]
Help me get out of here, will you?
Mike called.
Your car's ready, and you're
right, it was a carburetor.
Let's get you over there
so you can pick up your car,
and you can get out of this town.
Hey, um, what about that
dinner you still owe me?
Great. Let's eat.
Heard you caught the second guy.
We got him.
Thank you.
It was, uh, a relief to
hear he was in custody.
Yeah, it was.
You wanna sit?
[BREATHES DEEPLY]
[SIGHS]
You… you saw some
action in Afghanistan, right?
I did, yeah.
Wait, but how did you…
When you got back. Did…
Well, at first, I
couldn't talk about it.
I didn't want to relive
it, so I ignored it.
And all that did was make me angry.
You know, I got to the point
where I'd look in the mirror,
and I didn't know who
the hell I was looking at.
[AMANDA BREATHES DEEPLY]
And then Gina… [INHALES]
…she found a meeting that I
could go to, and that helped.
I actually think if I'd
have gone earlier,
my marriage might have been better.
Might not have done some of
the things I'm ashamed of now.
Yeah, talking helps.
[WHIMPERS]
[BREATHES HEAVILY]
When that man had his gun to my head,
I knew I was dead.
I froze.
In that moment…
I froze.
And it got me killed. [SNIFFLES]
But that's not what happened, is it?
No.
What happened?
Say it.
A child appeared.
That's right. And then what?
I protected her. [INHALES]
No one else died.
And what happened to you?
[CHUCKLES] I lived.
[CHUCKLES] I lived. [SNIFFLES]
