Kindred (2022) s01e04 Episode Script

1
No, no, no, Dana!
Dana!
- Carlo, Carlo!
- What?
Look no further than his Twitter feed.
This should be no surprise to anyone.
- What am I looking at?
- They were just there.
Hermione, don't you think you're
getting a little crazy about this?
But something happened.
Something just happened.
What? What what does that
mean? What just happened?
Do not call me crazy.
Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ.
Hello?
- Dana?
- Hermione
- Jesus Christ. They're fucking.
- I don't think
that's what they were doing!
They had clothes on, they
- They were fighting.
- Let's go right now!
- No, you don't understand.
- You're right, I don't.
Dana.
- Can't breathe.
- Dana! Water. Water, water.
She told me to get you water.
Okay, stay, stay, stay.
Drink, drink, drink, drink, drink.
What do you mean she
told you to give me water?
She pulled me aside
when we first got in.
- You knew she was gonna do this?
- No, no, no!
I didn't know what she
was talking about at first.
I just put it together.
Oh, God.
Oh, my God.
- Oh, my God.
- Drink.
Dana.
She figured out how to send you back.
She poisoned me.
Do you know how scary
that was? I could've died.
- I I don't think it was really poison.
- What do you mean?
She said you would be fine. That
that you would only need water.
And and you are fine now, right?
But what if you hadn't
remembered what she said?
What if we didn't
land back at the house?
The point is, you know
how to send yourself back.
You don't have to wait
for someone to scare you.
- We can just
- Just what?
Shoot me and then hope
I don't bleed to death?
Actually trying to send
me home could kill me.
This can never happen again.
Ever.
Promise me.
Okay.
Where are our clothes?
- Alan.
- What's wrong?
I've been calling you.
I've been asleep.
I need you to go check on Dana.
- I thought y'all were fighting.
- We were. Then she just called
asking all these bizarre
questions about her mother
- and what happened to her.
- Maybe she was on something.
Alan
this is serious.
She didn't sound right.
And there was some strange
sounding man in the background
and I'm worried.
Is this happening all the time
to people all over the world
and we're just the last to know?
When did you even manage to take these?
Last night. I didn't really
know what I was doing.
But they might mean something, right?
- Could help us.
- I don't know, Kevin.
Those look like they
could've been taken anywhere.
We just like, fell
through the Matrix, Dana.
There just has to be some way that
that we can prove that this is real,
that this actually happened.
Prove it to who?
And what would that do? Make it stop?
No.
What if you never go back?
What if Rufus is fine?
It happens when he panics.
I'm definitely going back.
It's just a matter of when.
I keep feeling like it's gonna
happen again at any moment.
And I'm just
waiting. I I don't know what to do.
But what about your mother?
She needs you to figure
out how all this works.
You're her only hope.
- Right.
- There's gotta be rules to this thing.
There's gotta be a reason why this
is happening to the two of you.
Whoa.
What?
- What, Kevin?
- It's it's the food.
What food?
The Thai food I ordered, like
three days ago.
It's the same night?
Look, he's not only blaming the media,
which is a strategy of most politicians
but alleging voter fraud before
the vote has even been taken.
They're done.
Hermione, stop it.
We're done.
So the time before last
time that this happened,
I was gone for a minute?
Yeah. I I mean, even
less. It was like seconds.
For me, it was like an hour, which means
multiple years passed in almost an hour.
Which means he'll be a
grown man by tomorrow.
You need supplies.
- Supplies?
- Before we disappear again.
I feel like if that's gonna
happen, it's gotta happen right now.
Have you also noticed that
every time I've come back,
I've always come back to that same spot
in the middle of the house,
no matter where I leave from?
It maybe you're right.
Maybe it is the house.
What about your mother?
She never lived here.
Right.
And she was driving when she vanished.
- Wait a minute. This is where you live?
- Yup.
Wow. Princess.
What?
Nothing.
I'll be right back, two seconds.
I'm just gonna grab some clothes.
Okay, sounds good.
So are you, like, a
squatter or something?
Uh, no. I am not squatting.
I live with my sister.
Oh.
- Where is she?
- At her boyfriends, I don't know.
Gimme a sec.
- This is cute.
- Thanks.
Maybe it stops once Rufus
meets my other ancestors
Yeah, but who is that?
Maybe I'm supposed to help find her.
Um, just stay here. I'm just
gonna grab one more thing.
Okay.
Hello?
Oh, hi.
Sorry, I
- I'm just waiting for
- Kevin. Yeah.
I figured.
- Uh, he mentioned me?
- Oh, no, no. Not really.
He th You know, that's Kevin.
Oh, my God, you're
Oh, no, I'm fine.
You want Do you want some ice?
No, no, no. No. It
Um, I'm good, I'm good.
It's old, days old.
Okay.
- I'm Dana.
- Hi. Penny.
Is this, like, your
first date or something?
Uh, sort of.
I'm so fucking nosy.
But I just have to ask.
What happened with your eye?
I got in a fight.
- Okay.
- Hey, you're here.
Yeah, I live here.
Didn't realize you'd be home so early.
What were you doing back there?
Uh, I was just just
grabbing this book for Dana.
It's two a.m.
- Yeah, well, we should be going.
- Mmm-hmm.
What You You're going out again?
- Yeah. Is that okay?
- Yeah, it's okay. I just
- Seriously?
- Don't don't give me that, I just
- You're being kind of weird right now.
- Oh, really?
I've been weird in this
30 second interaction?
Don't be like that. I
Are you getting yourself
into any kind of trouble?
Because you can tell me if you are.
But I cannot help you
if you don't tell me.
We gotta get going.
- You said You said What Go where?
- Bye, Pen.
Kevin! Be safe, please.
So you're not gonna
explain any of that to me?
There's nothing to explain.
My sister is overdramatic.
She seemed really concerned.
She's always concerned about something.
I pay rent, by the way.
I'm not a total loser.
I never thought you were a loser.
Oh, you thought I was a squatter.
Okay. Drunk sober.
Baby, I don't need dollar
bills to have fun tonight ♪
I love cheap thrills ♪
Baby, I don't need dollar
bills to have fun tonight ♪
I love cheap thrills ♪
I don't need no money ♪
Worth more than
diamonds, more than gold ♪
Okay, I think this is enough.
- How's all this gonna fit in one bag?
- Well, we can use two bags.
Oh, shit, I need Pedialyte.
Half those people died
of, like, dysentery.
Come on, come on, turn the radio on ♪
It's Saturday, and I won't be long ♪
Hmm. Definitely gonna need two bags.
Is everything okay?
Suddenly I just feel like I'm
going kind of nuts, don't you?
I mean, I guess I've just
been in that space for a while.
Let's just get inside.
By the way, I texted my
aunt about the Weylin thing.
She still hasn't responded.
Kevin Eleven?
Are you insane? What are you doing?
- What are you doing?
- Did you actually imply
on the freaking Neighborhood app
that I was a member of the Ku-Klux-Klan?
People know who I am
in this neighborhood.
You have no right to say
those things about me.
And I'm sorry. What is going on here?
There is all of this
screaming and this wild
- I mean, are you being harmed?
- No.
- What happened to your face?
- Okay.
Look, if you are in some sort of danger,
just say something. It's okay.
You don't have to be afraid of this man.
Um, please leave us alone.
I'm sorry, but something
is obviously going on here.
You're screaming, you're injured.
Hey!
I will call the cops.
Please, lady, just fuck off.
Sorry, did you just tell me
to fuck off?
- Yep. Fuck off.
- Kevin, get inside. Now.
I'm sorry, but please, I I'm fine.
Thank you.
- What the fuck is Neighborhood?
- It's this dumb app,
I usually only use it
to get free stuff, but
you know, sometimes
it devolves into this
- white flight bullshit and
- What was she saying?
Oh, all this nonsense about,
you know, suspicious activity.
- When was this?
- It it started just before we left.
And you didn't say anything to me?
- You you weren't on the app.
- So what?
I didn't ask you to defend me.
She was drawing attention
to us. I shut it down.
So you're telling me that
what just happened on the lawn
didn't draw attention to us?
- What what are you saying?
- You have to communicate with me.
This is the same thing that happened
back at the farm with Olivia.
Neither of us can afford
to go rogue like this.
I'm not I'm not going back with you.
What?
I just I've been
thinking about this a lot,
and it doesn't make sense for me to
um, and, you know, it's like
we barely know each other.
And and I don't mean that
I don't care because I don't know you.
It's just that
that experience
um, isn't good for me, and
I really don't know how
to help you over there.
But, also, I can stay
here in the present
and be here for you when you get
back and make sure you're okay.
Also
Brought this for you to take back.
What the fuck, Kevin?
I got it from Penny.
It's for your protection.
My protection?
I've never shot a gun in my life.
Kevin!
- Get your asses out here!
- Shit. What do I
- what do I do with this?
- I don't know, it's your gun.
I think it's the neighbor's husband.
What is wrong with these people?
What should I do?
Uh, go outside and calm him down.
He's making a scene,
I'll be right there.
Hey, asshole.
Did you tell my wife to fuck off?
Did you or did you not
tell my wife to fuck off?
Your wife was harassing
me and my friend,
just like you are right fucking now.
Jesus, fuck.
That's the future mother
of my children, man.
Don't you ever talk
to her like that again.
You understand me?
- Carlo!
- Kevin, what are you doing?
- Oh, my God.
- He's assaulting him. Get off!
Carlo!
Help! Get off of him!
- Alan?
- This is a good neighborhood.
We have lived here for
seven years, asshole.
- Everybody on this block is our friend.
- Hey, hey, break this up.
We are not the problem.
Get the get the
What the hell is this?
Get back. Get back.
- Get the fuck off of me.
- Stay back. Stay back.
Hey, slow down.
Hey, what the fuck
Wait a minute. I know you.
Well, it's good to see you again, sir.
Who the hell are you?
I'm this young lady's uncle and LAPD.
And I believe you're trespassing.
So I suggest you fly
your narrow ass back
to whatever coop you fell out of.
Get out of here.
- Come on. I'm fine.
- Are you okay?
- Get outta here, you fucking Dracula-looking motherfucker.
- Hey, stop!
Don't you know when to shut up?
Inside! Now!
- How do I know you?
- Oh, I had the pleasure of serving you
- the other night at Olamines.
- Uh-huh, yeah.
Uh, I can't thank you
enough for your help, sir.
Tho Those people have been
terrorizing us the whole night, so
What the hell happened to your face?
- This motherfucker hit you?
- No, no, he did not hit me.
- I I would never hit her.
- Shut your mouth.
Why don't you wait outside a
minute while I talk to my niece?
No, no. You do not get
to talk to him like that.
He does not have to leave.
Can you wait for me
in the bedroom, Kevin?
Well?
Dana, I'm gonna need to know
exactly what happened to your face.
- I slipped.
- You slipped.
- In the shower.
- Yeah?
How stupid do you think I
am? What the hell is going on?
And why is the waiter from two
nights ago here at three a.m.?
- That's none of your business.
- And what the hell kind of scene
did I stumble upon out
here with the neighbors?
Alan, I literally do
not have time for this.
- Why are you here?
- Oh, and you think I want to be here?
But your aunt is worried about you
and this is what happens
when Denise gets worried:
I get sent here, so get used to it.
Are you kidding me?
And then what happens?
What are you gonna do? Arrest me?
Have a good night, Alan.
- Who are you calling?
- The chief.
Who knows if that
guy's even really a cop.
- He's probably her pimp.
- He had a badge.
Yeah, guys like that get
fake badges all the time.
You know what? There's
a guy in my poker game
whose dad is a higher up
in the officers' union.
I'm gonna call him, see
what he thinks we should do.
- Carlo, Carlo, I I I just really do not
- What?
You're the one telling me these
people are suspicious, right?
All night you've been saying it.
You got nowhere, so
now I'm gonna handle it.
- He gone?
- I don't know.
I, um
I'm really sorry for the
way I handled things earlier.
I I I could have
been better about it.
It's fine. I'm just lightening my load.
In fact, you're right to not
want to come back with me.
I mean, why the hell
would you want to do that?
I shouldn't have assumed anything.
I just got caught up in our
Doesn't matter.
Yeah.
- I already told you.
- Dana.
- Dana.
- If you're not gonna listen to me,
maybe you'll listen directly to her.
- Dana?
- Yes?
Hi, honey.
I sent Alan to check on
you because I was worried.
Glad you're okay. But
listen, I need to see you.
I get the sense that
something is happening to you
that I might have some context for
and I feel like there are
things about your mother
that may have been kept from you,
and you deserve answers.
I know we left each
other on nasty terms,
but you shouldn't be
going through this alone.
I'm asking Alan to bring you here. Okay?
Hey.
I, uh, I can stay here at the house,
be your mission control
I can be here, for
you when you get back.
To help.
Whatever you want to do.
Wait! Wait!
I never got your number. Fuck.
- Aren't you tired?
- Not really.
All you James women are
the same, night owls.
Your grandmother. Denise, obviously.
I used to joke with Denise
that all you all needed
was a good night's sleep.
If y'all got a full
eight hours of sleep,
you wouldn't have had
half the fight you did.
I know what you must think of me, Dana.
I'm some washed-up asshole cop your
aunt made the mistake of marrying.
You don't want anything to do with me.
- I didn't say that.
- You didn't have to.
Look, I know I'm not the
easiest person to get to know.
You probably think I'm what kept
Denise away from you all these years.
Why she didn't come to New
York when your grandma got sick.
Am I wrong?
When I met Denise, we
made a deal with each other
to keep our drama to a minimum.
When I moved her to
California, it saved her.
Saved her from trying to
make a family out of a mess,
from trying to get someone
to see her who never would.
I'm talking about your grandma, Dana.
Yeah, well no one was
ever good enough for Grandma.
Well, your daddy was.
He could do no wrong.
Until he met your mother, anyway.
So, yeah, I told Denise
not to go back to New
York when Regina got sick.
Now, Denise may still feel
guilty, but I sleep easy at night,
knowing she did the right thing for her.
My only regret is that you
fell through the cracks.
I know you felt like we abandoned
you out there in New York,
but it wasn't about you.
Your aunt loves you.
Hey, Penny, um, I need a favor.
Jesus Christ, Kevin. You can't do that.
You can't just fucking
act all crazy at two a.m.,
leave in a rush, and
stop answering your phone.
Okay. Okay, okay, okay.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
And who was this girl, Daniella
Her name is Dana. I met her a
few days ago. Or, like, tonight.
It's It's it's a little
complicated right now, okay?
Listen, um, Penny, do
you believe in fate?
What?
Like, do you think that
things happen for a reason?
Do you think I don't
know, do you believe that
there might be some logic to
things that we don't know about?
Because, um, like, a lot of things
have been happening
here recently, and
and at first, I just thought I'd
happened into a crazy situation
that had nothing to
do with me, and now
now I feel like it does
have something to do with me.
Kevin, what the fuck
are you talking about?
Okay, before I tell you what I know
I just need to know what
is going on with you, Dana?
I don't know how to explain it.
Well, you Just say it.
You don't need to figure
anything out. Just say it.
'Cause you asked me about your
mom and about family stuff.
Why?
What do you know about
my mother's mother?
She was a troubled woman.
Not quite in her right mind either.
She disappeared, right?
She she just vanished.
Olivia's mother up and left
when she was just a baby, but
Dana.
Where are you getting all this from?
My mother is alive.
Yeah, she's alive.
She's trapped. And
Something happened to her back in '92
when she was driving with my father.
She disappeared and and she got
pulled back in time and and
I think the same thing
happened to her mother
and it just happened to me,
and I've met her she
she's pulled back in
the past on a plantation.
On the plantation where I think
our family were owned
as slaves by the Weylins.
And I don't know how or why.
But she's trapped there
and she needs our help.
Ooh. Okay, you know what? This is
This is a lot of information
we need to process.
Let me tell someone to cover for me.
I think I just need a
little coffee or something.
- Do you want anything?
- Sure. Yeah.
Yeah? Okay. I'll I'll be
right back, all right? All right
So please, just call me in an hour,
and if you don't hear from me,
find my iPhone and send help, okay?
Kevin, you're scaring me.
- Uh, yes.
- Okay. Because I really want you
- to take a hard look at what you're doing
- Okay, Penny, Penny, Penny.
I'm here, I gotta go, but, uh uh,
call me back in, uh, in an hour
- You're where? Kevin?
- if you don't hear from me, okay?
Hey. Uh, Mister, um uh Alan.
- What the hell are you doing here?
- Um, I got something
that I really need to give to Dana.
Listen. I don't know what you're
on, or what game you got going,
or what you got going on
with that girl, but drop it.
Whole damn family full of crazy.
I got this dude
motherfucker doing some shit.
Stay away from her.
Can I at least get her phone number,
I just want to make sure she's okay.
No. Find yourself another
girl to mess with, Romeo.
Okay.
There you go.
Okay.
- Mmm. All right, so let's just
- take it back Um
All right. Just tell me again, um
where exactly did you go?
You don't believe me, do you?
I believe that
you believe that what you
are going through is real.
And
that you were at a
plantation in the past.
And that this Rufus
was there, and your mom.
I believe that you believe that.
But
your mother and my
brother died in an accident
when she drove her car
into the East River.
And that happened because when
she was talking like this
I didn't do enough.
And when my mother was sick,
I didn't do enough either.
And I'm not gonna make the
same mistake with you, Dana.
I love you too much.
Just
- Oh, shit.
- Oh, no, no, no, no,
- No, no, no, it's okay.
- I'm sorry.
It's all right, I'll just
go get some paper towels.
- Sorry.
- Okay. All right.
Just, um
Yeah, I see you, okay.
- Kevin, I'm so stupid.
- What happened?
What happened, what's wrong?
Why do I keep letting
them do this to me?
Why do I feel like
anyone would actually
believe me? I
I'm feel so stupid.
- I feel so alone.
- You're not.
You're not alone, I'm here,
and and I'm the stupid one. I
Whatever's happening to us,
Dana, it is something profound.
And I never should have
turned away from it.
I never should have
turned away from you.
Code violet.
We have a code violet for Dana James.
Code violet for Dana James.
We should get out of here.
Okay.
Maybe maybe maybe
I actually should stay.
What?
Maybe I'm actually sick.
If you're sick, I'm sick.
But I don't want to stay here,
and I need you to come with me.
Code violet.
We have a code violet for Dana James.
Code violet for Dana James.
Hold up! You go west!
- Hold them up!
- Dana!
Let's go, Denise!
Dana!
Fuck, fuck, fuck.
- What are we supposed to do in here?
- Uh, I I don't know,
- I thought there'd be a window or something.
- Let us in!
- Do we just wait it out?
- There are cameras everywhere.
- What are you even doing here?
- Oh, your mom
she gave this to me.
- I think it means she can come back with you.
- Let us in!
- Dana, just don't hurt yourself.
- What?
- Dana.
- My stomach. It's happening.
No, no, no. No, no, no.
Oh shit. Dana. Okay. It's okay.
You just gotta get your mother.
You tell her she can make the trip
if she hangs onto you.
It's gonna be okay.
Dana? Dana.
Dana. Dana!
Don't hurt yourself,
Dana. Come on, please.
Yes, the keys.
Dana?
