Ghosts (2021) s02e10 Episode Script

1
We're hosting Christmas at
our house. This is the dream.
Yeah, well, it's just my sister
and probably a bag of
her laundry, but sure.
Thor hate Christmas.
Are you gonna bring Nigel by
for a special holiday treat?
Well, we're not really
ones for public displays.
So y'all haven't kissed yet?
I don't owe any of you an explanation.
I think our relationship should end.
Oh, I hope it's okay I
brought someone. This is Eric.
Who's this schmuck?
Would you let Trevor possess your body
- so that we can be together?
- I'm in.
When Eric gets electrocuted
he'll fly back into your body.
Bela's trying to get
Eric possessed by Trevor.
I'm going to bed.
Merry Christmas.
I should screw that back on.
Aah!
Mmm.
Sam? Did you just take a large
bite out of a stick of butter?
No. Normal bite.
Okay.
Oh, my God.
Sass, you won't believe
what just happened.
I was fixing a light and I got shocked
and then I think Thor possessed me.
Yeah, I was starting to
put those pieces together.
Okay, I just have to do what Jay did
when Hetty possessed him.
I've got to get into the car,
then drive through the ghost boundary,
and then Thor will
just pop out of my body.
Okay, where are my keys?
Just throwing this out there.
What if you didn't
eject Thor right away?
You know, what if you
let the big guy hang out?
You know, let him live it up a little?
No. I'm taking care of this right now.
Oh, come on.
He's been a ghost for a thousand years.
Just give him a few hours.
You're always talking
about the Christmas spirit.
This is literally a spirit
you can help on Christmas.
No, I'm sorry.
At least let him have some cod.
Cod? Where cod?
Thor, is that you?
Yes. Help me, Sass.
Sam no want to let me live.
Okay, we need to consult an expert.
Someone who knows about possession.
You have come to the right place.
By the end of my time inside Jay,
I had learned to fully
suppress the host.
Lessons I will impart unto you
for a price.
What she mean?
I think she wants something
in return for helping us.
Yesterday, Jay showed me a
video that rocked me to my core.
When I asked Samantha to replay
the short lumberjack
film for me, she refused,
saying that she needed her
phone for personal affairs.
So you want Thor to use Sam's hands
to play the video for you?
Of the muscled man and his wood, yes.
This is ridiculous.
You are all gonna be in so much trouble.
Thor, run toward the light.
Run toward the light and
close the door behind you.
Hetty, are you helping
him? Why are you doing this?
You had your chance
to do the right thing.
Now, Thor, the light. Run!
- It working. Thor back.
- Yes!
Good! Now, her phone is
downstairs charging in the kitchen.
Thor on it.
Ah, right.
Meant to warn you about
the solid wood doors.
That was a lovely dinner.
It was a pity the
Bradfords couldn't make it.
They were busy, my dearest?
Oh, no. Last week they
all died of smallpox.
Oh, that's a relief.
I thought they were avoiding us.
You know, next week's our anniversary.
- And I must say it has been another blissful year.
- Indeed.
One delight after another.
Although, if I were to
lodge one small complaint,
it's that you're a big gay liar.
Excuse me?
Your mother's also a tad nosy,
but, yes, I'd say, overall,
the worst part about
our marriage is that it's a total sham
because, again, you're a big gay liar.
Wh Uh
- Greetings!
- Oh.
Greetings and salutations.
Ben Franklin, what are you doing here?
Well, I happened to be passing by,
and I couldn't help but overhear
the words "big gay liar,"
so I automatically assumed
that someone was discussing
my old pal Higgintoot.
You know too? I mean, no, I-I'm not.
Well, I, uh,
not discovering any
electricity between you two.
It was only a dream.
How you feeling, Trev?
Sorry you didn't get to possess Eric.
Oh, it would've been
the second greatest thing
a Jew ever did on Hanukkah.
It would have been the
Maccabees and then T-Money.
Where the hell is all the butter?
Well, Eric left.
I woke up to a note saying
he was taking the afternoon
train back to Boston.
And he apologized for ruining Christmas.
I'm sorry, Bela.
The guy just left his car for her?
I appreciate what this
guy was gonna do for me,
but he is a total tool.
Look, I know from where you're
standing this all seems nuts.
I get it, I'm not an idiot.
But Trevor and I had a real connection.
It's true. We both love
Hamptons share houses
and partying at Surf Lodge.
Okay, it's not exactly Romeo and Juliet,
but it's a start.
You're lucky, Jay.
You found the love of your life
and you get to spend every day with her.
I don't have that.
And now, thanks to you,
I don't even get to be with
the one guy I like for one day.
Hello.
Is Sam.
What?
Just ask what's happening.
What happen?
Can't literally just repeat what I said?
Jay will fill you in.
I'm going upstairs.
Merry Christmas.
You okay, babe?
You sound a little funny.
Have cold.
Aw, man, on Christmas? That's a bummer.
Uh, what's going on?
Thor accidentally possessed Sam
and Hetty taught him
how to stay in there.
Seriously? That is so unfair.
Eric is at the train
station. He's leaving.
Let me ask you something.
Do you think I was too hard on Bela?
Yes. Yes, tell him yes.
Keep it brief, okay? If
he figures out you're Thor,
he'll drive you across
the ghost boundary
and you'll be out of Sam's body.
- Well, Sam?
- Yah.
"Yes." The word is "yes," Thor.
- I was too harsh?
- Yes.
I did it.
Is that a ghost thing?
- Yes.
- So what should I do?
Tell him to go to the train
station and get Eric back here.
That's too many words,
man. He'll figure it out.
Get Eric.
Like, from the train station?
That could That's kind of fun.
It's like at the end of
Single and Ready to Kringle,
when Derek chased down Holly
at the North Pole airport.
Yes. And bring back cod.
Okay, my girl wants Christmas dinner.
We'll make it happen.
Oh, move over, Judah Maccabee.
There's a new Hanukkah hero in town.
Stupid little man. No idea.
Evil tree, decorated to mock my people.
Whoa.
Ghost power still work inside Sam.
Pretty cool.
I guess the rumors are true.
- This a wacky turn of events.
- Yes. Watch this.
Thor can eat now.
Oh, boy, I'm happy for you, buddy.
How is that Christmas cookie?
This Christmas cookie?
But is amazing.
That's the thing about Christmas.
It's got the best foods.
And not just desserts.
Honey baked hams, turkeys.
Trevor was telling me his
family used to do Chinese food.
What your family eat?
Well, we're Italian, so
we did something called
the Feast of Seven Fishes.
Shut up!
No, I'm serious.
It was like, uh, fried
cod, baked halibut.
Ooh, have you heard of calamari?
I've heard tales.
Okay,
so Christmas food pretty good.
- Is this what you like about it?
- I mean,
partly, but honestly,
the best thing about
Christmas is family,
being with the people you love.
Thor do like family.
Thor miss celebrate
holidays with family.
Well, in a way, I mean,
the ghosts, Sam and Jay,
we're all sort of like your family.
So if you did feel like celebrating,
you could celebrate with all of us.
That would be
very nice, but
of course, Thor no into Christmas.
Right, sure.
That's too bad.
Damn.
This cookie good.
Eric? Eric! Hey!
Oh!
Thank God I caught you.
Jay, what-what are you doing here?
I'm here to ask you to come
back to the mansion with me.
Ah, fancy pants over
here's got a mansion,
wants everyone to know.
My wife inherited it.
Wait. I don't need to
get into the whole story.
Jay, I'm really sorry, it's
just, things got too weird.
I think it's best if I just go.
- No.
- Yeah.
Look, can-can we talk
somewhere privately?
Uh, I-I would, it's just,
I don't want to lose my place in line.
If I end up with one of
the backward-facing chairs,
I'm gonna get trainsick.
Fine.
I realized I was too judgmental
about that thing that you wanted to do
with my sister last night.
- Whoa!
- Come on, man! Grow up!
Look, I just want Bela to be happy.
- Yeah, that's all I want too.
- Okay, great,
so will you come back with me?
Oh, uh
Is it gonna hurt?
Honestly, yeah, man, a little bit.
But once they're fully inside,
it's not that bad.
Come on, man, it's frickin' Christmas.
This guy.
I just don't know how Thor's
pulled this off for so long.
I mean, at some point,
Jay's gonna notice
- Sam's not using a lot of verbs.
- Seriously.
I saw Sam carrying a
rotisserie chicken like a baby.
That's got to raise some red flags.
- Everything okay, Isaac?
- Well, no.
I had the most troubling nightmare.
Ooh, tell me.
I'm really good at interpreting dreams.
It was kind of my thing in the cult.
That and tracking down runners.
Well, in the dream, my dear Beatrice
accused me of being a "big gay liar,"
and saying that I wasted her life.
Hmm, this is a tough one.
Did you have all your teeth?
It-it wasn't your
fault, though. I mean,
you were still figuring
things out yourself.
Yes, but I still trapped
her in a sham marriage.
Maybe that's why you haven't
been able to kiss Nigel.
Because you feel guilty.
You're right.
Why should I be happy
when she never got to be happy?
- This is great news. Now you know what the problem is.
- Yeah.
The problem is that I wronged somebody
who died 200 years ago
and there's nothing I can do about it.
That's very useful
information. Thank you, Pete.
You are my little chicken baby.
Yes, you are.
But I will eat you!
Okay, it's kind of weird, but
I like seeing this maternal side of Sam.
Now watch me handle my wood.
Split it.
Split that log.
Yes, a decisive blow.
Again.
Alexa, add mead to shopping list.
I have put mead on your shopping list.
- Yes!
- Okay, uh, now do, uh, frozen pizzas.
Alexa, now add frozen pizzas.
I put frozen pizzas
on your shopping list.
Yes!
Hey, have you seen Jay?
Yes. Many times.
Good one.
You should really take
some DayQuil for that.
Oh! Did you get the
ghosts Christmas presents?
Huh. So sweet.
Well, it's Christmas day.
Should we open any for them?
Are any of them in here?
Thor.
You want to do the honors?
What is it?
Sam would know what it is.
Jay get.
Good save.
Is nice, feeling of
anticipation and mystery.
Did you get into the eggnog?
You sound a little loopy.
This for me.
Is what Thor said.
Does he like it?
Thor love it.
Merry Christmas, big guy,
wherever in the room you are.
He says thank you.
Look who I found.
Merry Christmas.
What the hell, Jay?
Did you get Eric from the train station?
I don't know if you
and Trevor have a future
or what you see in him.
I don't know why Eric
is signing up for this,
but you're my sister and it's Christmas.
So let's get a ghost in this dude, huh?
Yes!
Are you sure about this?
It's what you want, and
that's what's important to me.
This guy is a mensch.
I'm gonna do some pushups
when I get in there.
I'll leave your body
better than I found it.
Okay, are we ready?
Hetty, they're gonna zap
him! You want to come watch?
I'm good!
Really? It's a possession!
I'll catch the next one!
Okay, proceed.
Oh, my God. Eric,
are you okay? Trevor, are you in there?
Uh, nope.
Oh, my God. He doesn't have a pulse.
That not good.
My God.
Did it work?
Uh, no, dude. You're dead.
Oh, no.
Hi, I'm Flower.
I wandered over to the property
from a music festival in the 60s,
and then I tried to befriend a bear.
Drugs were involved.
And he's staying.
- Eric! Come back! Eric!
- Okay, I got the defibrillator!
Everybody stand back!
I just have to check
a quick YouTube video.
Hurry, Jay!
Why would you put an ad in
front of something like this?
So, uh, you must be Trevor?
Yeah, bro. Thanks for the effort.
Oh, yeah.
He's gonna regret that reindeer sweater.
Thor, take the body, weigh it down,
throw it in the lake with Trevor.
I'm so sorry, Eric.
I should have given you a chance.
I'll regret it for the rest of my life.
That is unfortunate timing.
If I yell "clear,"
will it know what to do?
Move aside, small man!
Oh, thank God.
I'm so sorry, Eric. Are you okay?
I don't want to do that again.
You don't have to. Come
on, let's get you upstairs.
I think I saw Trevor.
Impressive jawline.
He's a really great guy.
Whoa, whoa. What the hell was that?
Uh, what you mean?
I think it's time to
give it up, big guy.
Okay, I am Thor.
But you weren't Thor
last night, were you?
No, it-it was me. But really?
A whole day, Jay? You didn't notice?
Well, I mean, I had a lot going on.
Bela, Christmas. I
went to a train station.
Get the car keys, Jay.
We're driving through
the ghost boundary.
Aah!
Was fun,
but I missed wolf urine.
Mmm.
Is good to be back.
So, how's he doing?
I think he's gonna be
okay. That was so scary.
Yeah, it was a pretty
crazy thing Eric did, huh?
Definitely not the actions
of a safe, predictable guy.
So you're saying Eric
is kind of dangerous?
I'm saying Eric
is deeply unstable.
Huh.
Well, I successfully removed myself
from the unrelenting
grip of the TikToks.
It mustered all my
self-control, but I did it.
Sam took her phone back, didn't she?
Very first minute she could.
What is that on your handkerchief?
Hmm? Oh, it's a cricket.
Beatrice embroidered it on there.
That was her nickname for me.
She said I had a tendency to
chirp endlessly like a cricket.
Huh. Cricket.
I remember during the war
when you were here,
dying on the property,
there was a woman who came to visit,
and she called you cricket.
Are you saying Beatrice came
to visit me on my deathbed?
I was in the medical
tent, seeing if anyone cool
was gonna become a ghost,
when I saw something strange.
I must see Captain Higgintoot.
I've come a long way.
A woman, who I assume was a nurse,
was adamant about changing
you into your uniform
before you passed.
I'm here now, Cricket.
Let's get you out of these filthy rags.
Beatrice came all that way
just to change my clothes
and be with me in my final moments?
Seems like your wife really
cared about you, Isaac.
Doesn't sound like someone who
thought you ruined her life.
But she knew.
She-she had to have known.
And yet she came. What
does that tell you?
That she forgave me.
And if she forgave you then,
don't you think she'd
want you to be happy now?
Oh
Oh, thank you, guys.
You got it, Cricket.
Oh. God, it's so funny.
I thought my men were the
ones who changed my clothes.
They checked in on me
frequently, I assume.
Oh, yeah, yeah. A
lot-lot of checking in.
This is such a relief.
Oh, I feel such a flutter.
No, that is the dysentery.
Morning, Sam.
It is Sam, right?
How do you feel about Danes?
Honestly, I don't know
anything about them.
That's my girl.
How you doing?
Glad to be alone in my body,
but sad to have missed Christmas,
and not loving the fish burps.
Yeah, you ate a lot of haddock.
In retrospect, the signs were there.
Oh, my God,
it's snowing.
Aw, one day too late, huh?
I'm dreaming of a white ♪
What's that?
Coffee?
No, the singing.
Oh, I don't hear any singing,
so I'm guessing ghosts?
I used to know ♪
Where the treetops glisten ♪
And children listen ♪
To hear ♪
Sleigh bells in the snow ♪
What is this?
We felt bad that you missed Christmas.
And we wanted to make it up to you.
Because Christmas isn't
just day on calendar.
It is time with people you love.
Hey, babe, somebody ripped
the head off a Santa.
That was before I learn lesson.
This is the best Christmas ever.
I'm dreaming ♪
Of a white Christmas ♪
With every Christmas card I write ♪
I write ♪
May your days be merry ♪
Ooh, ooh! For me.
And bright ♪
- Oh, Isaac. Did you wish to talk?
- I think we've talked enough.
Christmases be white ♪
Huh. Sam, look.
I did it.
Great job, babe.
Well, it wasn't exactly the
wholesome Christmas movie I wanted,
but we got there.
I just hope he doesn't sue us.
We should probably get
him to sign a waiver
or something before he goes home.
Samantha, Thor have great idea.
What if we make me possessing you
Christmas tradition?
I'm gonna say hard no to that.
Don't answer now. Think about it.
Merry Christmas, everyone.
Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.
And happy Hanukkah.
Happy Hanukkah, right.
That was some day, huh?
Aye, indeed it was.
I was so close.
I I'm happy for Bela.
I just
I'm just a little
revved up, if you know what I mean.
Sorry, I shouldn't say
that in front of you.
No, no, I know exactly what you mean.
To lust for one just out
of reach, it's torture.
Tell me about it.
Leaves you feeling hungry.
Starving.
Ravenous.
Horned up.
How dare you?
Did I go too far?
Not nearly far enough, you pantless
son of a bitch. Come over here.
