Ghost Wars (2017) s01e11 Episode Script

- Previously on Ghost Wars - She's in there.
- I see her! - Come here.
Oh, God.
You have to tell us what happened so we know how to help you.
[screaming.]
She's not my sister.
Last night in the church, it was good to see you.
Norm, my life's messy enough.
Daphne, we have no idea what these things are, what they're capable of.
We don't know what it's doing to Dr.
Jones, - if he's even in there.
- [moaning.]
These souls were accepted into God's chosen after life.
Where's your God now? What a mess.
And you're sure this is Paolo, Sophia, and Father Dan? Yeah.
I'm sure.
What were they doing down here? Who knows? Who knows what the ghosts put in their heads? Oh, this is gonna destroy the town.
Someone needs to tell Karla about Paolo.
What, me? No.
No, no, no.
No, no, no.
Billy is the sheriff.
And even if Billy was here I wouldn't get him to do it.
What am I supposed to tell her? The truth.
Ghosts killed Paolo.
Fucking ghosts, man.
[sighs.]
Fine.
Fine.
There's more to this.
Yeah, no shit.
It involves Abigail.
[knocking.]
Karla, it's Norm.
I'm coming in.
Karla? You got a second? Can you come back later? It's important, Karla.
It's about Paolo.
Okay.
I'm a little busy right now, Norm.
Karla, are you okay? [vomiting.]
He's dead, isn't he? [retching.]
I'm sorry, Karla.
[retching.]
Karla, open the door.
I'm fine.
You don't sound fine, so just let me in.
No.
Okay, then I'm gonna break down the door.
Go away, Norm! [retching.]
Karla What the hell? I'm gonna have a baby.
He tried to warn me about Sophia and pods.
I didn't listen.
Dan wanted to destroy the pods, and anyone who had contact with them.
Abigail.
They're using our bodies, Val.
But it's someone else's consciousness in there.
Jesus Christ.
Do you know what you're saying? Yes.
You spent time with Abby and you told me that she was fine.
I'm sorry, that was wrong.
Look, if people find out about this, about Abigail, you need to protect your family, okay? You said she was fine! - This couldn't wait 'til Val got home? - No, no, no.
I'm sorry, Marilyn.
This is an emergency.
Can you at least tell me what's wrong with Karla? No, I really can't.
Um, I mean, I could but it would make me sound crazy.
As opposed to how you sound now? Trust me, I know how this sounds.
Just, please.
Hey, Karla.
Hey, Dr.
M.
- Sorry to bother you.
- No, it's no problem.
[buzzing.]
Okay.
You are pregnant.
And, uh, from the looks of it you are about four months along? - How long have you known about this? - Yesterday.
You only realized it yesterday? No, I got pregnant yesterday.
Where's Paolo? He's, um he died last night.
Oh.
Karla, I'm so sorry.
He gave me this gift before he left.
Okay.
We should do an ultrasound in the next couple of days, check everything out.
But until then, you look healthy.
That's it? Well, for now, yeah.
It's gonna take me a bit of time to get a generator to power up the equipment at the clinic.
Until then, eat, sleep, do all that good stuff.
Yes, ma'am.
Thank you.
Doc, uh, so you don't think there's anything weird about that? Uh, honestly deputy, this is one of the most normal things I've experienced lately.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Um, but she's pregnant and she wasn't pregnant yesterday.
Well, she wasn't showing yesterday.
What about that whole story about Paolo? She's in shock.
She just lost her husband.
If that's the story she has to tell to make it all okay then I say let her.
I'm I'm just I'm I'm worried that this baby isn't normal.
It's gonna be fine, deputy.
Go on in.
Where have you been? I was worried.
I had a couple patients to see so I brought the girls.
- Can I go outside? - No.
We're gonna have dinner soon.
Can you sit in the sun room, please? Izzy, in your room.
What's that all about? Roman gave that to me.
It's a letter from Dan.
Is this for real? He was going to kill Abigail.
Because she was in that pod? Izzy's been trying to tell us that Abby's not her sister.
Maybe she's telling the truth.
What do we do? Nothing.
Not 'til we know exactly what we're dealing with.
There's only one way I can think of to find out.
Me too.
Are you sure? I don't see what other choice we have.
[gasps.]
Norm.
You have to stop staring.
I'm sorry, I can't help it.
I just I can't imagine what's inside you.
That's a terrible thing to say.
But whatever's happening here is just I don't get it.
All right, let me try to explain it to you.
Sometimes, when a girl and boy love each other very much, or have had too much to drink, they get naked - and do a thing called "the nasty".
- Come on, Karla.
- [laughs.]
- This isn't funny.
What do you want me to say, Norm? You don't think I know how fucked up this is? I don't know.
I don't know what you think.
I mean, you've barely said two words to me since I told you Paolo was dead.
There's no right way to do this, you know.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
So So what? What're you gonna do? Uh, I'm gonna see if there's enough gas in the generator to watch "The Bodyguard".
Come on, Karla.
I mean what're you gonna do about the baby? - That's none of your damn business.
- That's not what I meant.
Do you know how long I've wanted this? And you have the nerve to suggest that I terminate? No, I didn't say that.
I think you should leave.
What I meant was do you want my help? You shouldn't have to do this alone.
Do you mean that? Yeah.
Yeah, of course I mean it.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Hey, Norm! Don't suppose you could spare any of that fuel? Burned through most of my tank on burial detail yesterday.
Can't do it, Winston.
It's for Karla.
Oh, yeah, Paolo.
One of our unlucky customers.
A real shame.
Yeah, it was.
At least you found the upside to the apocalypse.
What the fuck is that supposed to mean? Huh? Don't mean nothin' by it, Norm.
I'm helping out a friend.
That's it.
Course you are.
Karla still sick? Still sick.
Any idea when the Chieftain is gonna re-open? All right, I'll see you around, Winston.
Hey, have a nice day! [generator sputtering.]
[cocks gun.]
Jesus, Norm! What're you doing here? I thought someone was stealing my generator.
Well, I thought you could use a fill-up.
Listen, you shouldn't be out here, okay? This the exhaust from the generator, it's it's not good They're not gonna do anything to this tough little guy.
Yeah, well anyway, you're good now.
- Should last 'til tomorrow.
- Thank you.
- How're you doing for food? - Oh, my God, I'm starving.
- Yeah? Okay.
Okay.
What do you want? - Steak.
[laughs.]
You gotta be kidding me.
I'm craving red meat.
And I happen to have about seven pounds of it in my downstairs freezer.
Karla Kowalski, have you been hoarding? Mmm, maybe just a little bit.
Steak it is, then.
Let's go.
We know what happened here with Paolo.
And yet you're here with your wife instead of a police escort.
Was Dr.
Jones in one of those pods? Yes.
And did you do tests on him? Take tissue samples and blood samples? We took everything that we could.
I'd like to see the results of those tests.
That data is worth millions of dollars.
- I can't just hand it over.
- We're not corporate spies.
We just wanna know what happened to our daughter.
We're asking for your help.
Bring your daughter to Lambda.
We'll examine her, share the results.
It's the best I can give you.
I don't like it.
I stay in the room the entire time, and if I say "stop", it ends.
Of course.
[tin can rolls.]
- Hey, Winston.
- Hey, Norm.
Robbing your neighbours? That's pretty low, even for you.
Wait, now.
Wait a second.
Somebody else broke in.
Oh, so you just decided to help yourself to the leftovers? Well, we all gotta survive somehow.
Put down the box.
Dammit, Norm.
I haven't eaten in three days.
- I'm not gonna ask you again.
- Shit.
Goddammit.
You happy? Here.
Now.
Manhattan-style clam chowder? Would you rather have nothing? I'd rather have the beef stew.
Get out.
Nobody eats this shit.
Fuck.
I'm surprised you let Winston go.
Ah, arresting him would have just been more work for me.
You should have killed him.
What? I said I hope you fed him.
That's not what I heard.
What'd you hear? It it doesn't matter.
I gave him the Manhattan clam chowder.
Mmm.
Good.
Nobody likes that shit.
Oh, this is so good.
Is there any more? Are you serious? You've had three of those.
Norm, you heard Dr.
M.
I'm pregnant.
I need to eat.
Okay.
Okay.
Um, just one more though, okay? 'Cause you gotta make this last.
Oh, don't worry about that.
I know where we can get a ton of food.
And by "we" you mean me.
You know the Heatons? They live out on Eagle Ridge Road? He's a hunter.
He makes his own jerky.
He's always trying to get me to sell it at the bar.
He has freezers full of meat.
Karla, what you're talking about? That's looting.
No it's not, silly.
Okay, what's the difference between that and what Winston did? Heaton's dead.
You said you wanted to help.
Now go and get me that steak.
Holy shit.
What the [choking.]
[gasping.]
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
What the hell? What the fuck? Norm? What is it? Everything all right? I thought the generator was on fire.
It looks fine to me.
Yeah, yeah, but but from the road, okay? I I saw black smoke.
I don't see anything.
I swear to God, Karla, there was smoke! Okay.
Gosh.
I mean, do you think maybe the ghosts are messing with you? No.
No.
No, no, no.
I know what I saw.
Okay, listen.
I'm fine, the baby's fine.
But your concern is appreciated.
Now, did you get me my meat? Come on.
Oh, my God, this is so good I can hardly stand it.
What is it, again? It's uh caribou.
Mmm.
More caribou, please.
Jesus Christ, Karla.
How many babies do you have in there? - That's a good question.
- All right, here you go.
Mmm, thank you.
You know, I should check in with Marilyn about getting into that clinic for an ultrasound.
Oh, don't bother her.
I'm sure she's got a lot on her plate.
- Nah, it's her job.
- I said drop it, Norm.
[sighs.]
Sorry.
I'm sorry.
These hormones I didn't mean to bite your head off.
[gasps.]
The baby just kicked.
Here.
Feel that right there.
What? Uh, noth nothing.
It was just just felt a little strange.
[laughs.]
You think it felt strange? I feel like a soccer ball being kicked from the inside.
You know what? I'm gonna let you get some sleep, it's late.
Wait, don't don't go.
Don't worry, I'll be back in the morning.
Hey, um when you come back you should, um, bring an extra set of clothes.
We made this mistake once, I don't wanna make it again.
Um what what about Paolo? Paolo would wanna know that I was taken care of, and happy.
This is our destiny.
It was meant to be.
Hey, Norm.
Hey, Marilyn.
Listen, it's taking me a lot longer to track down a generator for the clinic than I expected so I brought these by for Karla.
Thanks, she'll appreciate this.
Hey, do you wanna come in and just check in on her? Oh, I can't.
I'm in a rush.
How is she? Well, um her appetite is is is out of control.
I mean, it's it's like she's eating for five people, you know? I've never seen anyone eat this much in my life so is that normal? Yeah, it's all a part of pregnancy.
So just keep feeding her then? As long as she wants to eat.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's not a problem.
Is there something else, Norm? Well, it's just I can't get it out of my mind, that whole claim about Paolo.
Yeah.
You're worried about the baby? Who wouldn't be, under these circumstances? Karla's lucky to have you.
You know where to find me if you need me.
Yeah? It's gonna be fine.
Thanks for these.
[stomach growling.]
Somebody's hungry.
Well, somebody didn't eat her breakfast this morning.
Somebody wasn't hungry.
Has loss of appetite been an issue? This is stupid.
Why are we here? Love, I told you.
Mommy V and I wanna be sure you're just as healthy as can be, and they have equipment here at Lambda that I don't have at the clinic.
- Why isn't Isabel getting tested? - She is, love.
You're just going first.
How will we know if there's a problem? We managed to collect and examine a number of samples from Dr.
Jones before they deteriorated.
- Ow! - Careful.
Of course.
I'm so sorry.
Okay.
Sounds like our patient may have had enough for the day.
Understood.
- See? - Now what? My people get to work and as soon as we know something, you know something.
Okay.
Caribou.
Caribou.
Bison.
Caribou.
Caribou.
Caribou.
Bison.
[growls.]
[screaming.]
Fuck me! It's okay that you cared.
Every decision that I make is coming at a cost.
Father Dan make his own choices.
Yeah, he did.
And if I had chosen to forgive him he might still be alive.
Or you'd be dead, as well! Maggie, it's just too much.
You're gonna have to be strong to get what you want, okay? So, what do you think? Shut up, I'm eating.
So, I was thinking that Heaton has so much food squirreled away down there, I think we should share it.
Why would we do that? Oh, come on.
There's more than enough.
And I don't know, I was just I was thinking about Winston today and If there's a person who doesn't deserve a hand-out, it's Winston.
Well, maybe not, but if he's hungry that means other people are hungry, too.
I said drop it, Norm.
Babe, what's wrong? Uh, the the the food is um It's absolutely delicious.
I um I lost my appetite.
Hey.
Good morning.
How long have you been staring at me like a creepy stalker? Probably since the ninth grade.
- That sounds about right.
- Mm-hmm.
How're you feelin'? Guess.
You are hungry.
Is the correct answer.
Guess what you've won? The privilege of making you breakfast.
Two for two.
I had another nightmare last night.
Oh, no.
What was it this time? I was in the ocean, swimming, and all of a sudden there were there were corpses everywhere.
There were so many of them I could I couldn't even see the water anymore.
And then I was underwater and I I couldn't push through the bodies to get up to the air.
I have some news that will cheer you up.
It's a boy.
How do you know? I just do.
He's a reminder, Norm.
That everything's gonna be okay.
A miracle baby.
Our miracle baby.
I'm gonna name him Paolo Norman Jones.
After his fathers.
Are you sure? Of course I'm sure.
So you're telling us that our daughter isn't human? I'm telling you that thing isn't your daughter.
- There's a difference.
- No, not to us, there isn't.
I understand it must be difficult to see things how they are but ignoring the truth is only delaying the inevitable.
The inevitable what? When's the last time your daughter ate? She had breakfast this morning.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
What're you doing? I suspected you wouldn't accept the test results.
[squeaking.]
[squeaking.]
[squeaking.]
Hey baby, where's all the food? Sorry, I had a bit of a craving last night.
You ate it all? Can you pick up some more? Uh, no, no, no, no.
I I really hate going there.
I think it's why I'm having all these nightmares.
Okay, I mean, if you don't wanna go, - I'll do it.
- No, no, no.
No, no.
I'll go.
I'll go.
[sighs.]
I love you! I'm sorry, mommies.
I didn't mean to hurt the rat.
We know, sweetheart.
It's all right.
Please don't be mad at me.
Don't be mad.
I'm not mad.
It was Isabel's fault, she did this to me.
Okay.
- No! - Shh.
Shh.
Shh.
It's okay.
Come on.
- You got her? - I got ya.
We're taking our daughter home.
- What're you doing, Norm? - Oh, hey, man.
Listen, about the other day? I owe you an apology.
- I get why you did what you did.
- What I did? Yeah.
Karla's pregnant.
She's eating for two.
Marilyn says that's normal but I dunno, man.
I've never seen someone pack away so much food in my life.
Luckily, Heaton's place is on the grid and his basement is so stuffed with meat, so no hard feelings? - Is that what you're uh - Yeah, it's caribou.
I mean, I find it a little gamey myself but I don't know.
Karla loves it, so You can't feed that to Karla.
Well, it's a little old, Winston, but it's fine.
It's not caribou, Norm.
- And I'm not Winston.
- [echoing.]
And I'm not Winston.
Do you understand? Quit fucking around, Winston.
Do you want this meat or not? Norm, look.
What do you see? I told you, it's game meat.
No.
You're hallucinating, okay? They're screwing with you.
What, you think you can trick me, Winston? Huh? You think you can take my food? Norm, I can try and help you, okay Woah, woah.
Calm down.
Calm down, buddy.
We can work together.
I was willing to share this with you, Winston.
But I need it for Karla.
It's not what you think it is, Norm! Quit messing with my head! Just take my hand, okay? [groans.]
I warned you, you stupid son of a bitch.
Are you okay? Karla! Karla! Hey, baby.
Baby, we gotta go, okay? It's not safe here anymore.
I don't think it's a good idea, Norm.
It's starting.
Okay, well that's exactly why we gotta go, - because they are coming for you.
- What? Who's they? Everybody! Everybody, the whole town.
Winston just attacked me outside of the old Heaton place.
- What? - Okay? So we gotta go.
Okay, come on.
Come on, here we go.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Are you okay? He kept talking about the old Heaton place and then he pulled out his gun and he hit Roman in the head, tried to I was gonna stop him, but then next thing I know - he was getting into his car and - Okay.
Okay, okay, okay.
The old Heaton place? I've never heard of that.
Where is it? It doesn't exist.
Norm he had a corpse in his trunk.
Okay, uh, can you go find my brother, tell him what's going on? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Thanks, Shane.
- Okay, let's go find Norm.
- Well, I think we should go find Karla.
Norm said that Karla's pregnant.
She's what? Yeah.
Wait, you didn't know about this? Norm said that Marilyn's been treating her.
No, Marilyn, she hasn't seen a patient in in a while.
We've been Right, yeah.
We gotta find Karla.
All right.
The contractions are getting closer together.
Let's get you on the table.
- Here we go, here we go.
- Oh, it's cold.
Yeah? Okay, we'll get you some sheets.
- [gasps.]
- All right.
Norm, please.
Don't leave me.
[winces.]
- Oh, God, it hurts.
- Here.
Here, here.
Is it supposed to hurt this much? Just look at me.
Look at me.
Look at me.
Okay, what's the worst pain you've ever felt? - This.
- No, no, no.
Think about it.
- Christ, Norm.
I don't know.
- I do.
Remember that time we went cliff jumping in Harrison Lake? You remember that? You hit that rock underwater and shattered your arm? How the hell do you remember stuff like that? How could you forget that? [moaning.]
You got this.
You got this.
Karla? Karla? Norm? We're coming in! [buzzing.]
[vomiting.]
Okay, you're doing great.
You're doing great.
Okay, just just breathe.
Breathe, okay? You ready? You ready? Okay.
Okay, and push! - Okay, here we go.
And push! - [moaning.]
Push! Oh, my God, the baby's coming! The baby's coming! The baby's coming! He's coming! - Okay.
- Okay.
The baby's coming.
Oh, my God.
The girl's mutation shows the same instability we saw in Dr.
Jones.
We're also seeing indications that the decay cycle is accelerating.
She's dying.
How long? Well, depending on how much sustenance she can gather, a few weeks.
So this mutation, it's a flawed process.
Or it was never meant to be permanent.
There! There! There! That's his car.
- Okay.
- [moaning.]
Okay, keep going! Keep going, breathe! - You're doing so good.
- Okay.
You're doing so good, okay? Are you ready? Push! [moaning.]
Okay, he's coming.
He's coming.
Keep pushing! Keep pushing! - [muffled moaning.]
- Shit.
Ready? - Push! - Oh! What the actual fuck? - Tell me we're hallucinating.
- No, this is real.
No, no, no.
You you can't be in here! Norm.
Norm, you have to listen to me, okay? You leave us alone or I will kill you, I swear to God.
Norm.
See? See, buddy? Look.
Look.
[gasps.]
[moaning loudly.]
[retching.]
Oh, sweetie.
The fuck? Oh, Paolo.
Sweetheart.
He's got your eyes.
You're so beautiful.
[choking.]
[cocks gun.]
[gunshot.]
