Outer Banks (2020) s02e08 Episode Script

The Cross

1
That was epic.
Did you guys see Kelce's face?
Bomb drop!
- Another broken couch.
- You gotta sleep there.
I always sleep there. Hey.
- Well, hello, princess.
- What's up?
Shouldn't you be on Figure Eight
with your little group of polo players?
Or did you break up with Topper?
We're just friends.
He's just a friend. You have a
lot of friends, Sarah Cameron.
Yeah, and it seems like you've
got some of your own too.
All right, what are you doing here?
I'm here for Pope.
I think I found the island room.
Guys, listen to this.
The diary says the cross
holds the most holy relic
in all of Christendom,
the Garment of the Savior.
So wait, he saying there's a
holy garment inside the cross?
Yeah. It says the garment is
capable of healing the sick
from any malady.
Mmm, yeah. "If only I may touch
His garment, I shall be made well."
What? I went to Sunday school.
Sure.
Well, that explains why Limbrey
would want the cross so bad.
She thinks it can heal her.
What else does it say?
"Many feel that we have sinned
to steal such a sacred thing,
and God will strike
His vengeance on us."
Thing is, God did have His vengeance.
He sent a hurricane to sink the ship.
Only Denmark survived.
Whoo!
This place still freaks me out.
Yeah, same.
Pope, look.
Whoa! You've got to be kidding me.
Yeah. I know, right?
It's the island room.
Incredible.
It's been here this whole time.
No freaking way.
- This definitely means something.
- Wow.
- Jeez.
- Dang!
This is incredible.
Yo, this is a map of the whole island.
Yeah, John B, I think you're right
because this is Rixon's right here.
And then, there's the lighthouse.
Guys, look, Parcel 9 and the well.
So, if that's Parcel 9,
and then if that's Rixon's,
then that's gotta be
the surf break at Mase.
Right. And look.
Pope, come here. This is Denmark's
handwriting for sure.
The drawings, they match up.
Holy shit.
Denmark, you genius!
These are all his drawings. He
he painted this entire room.
Yeah, question is why.
What's he trying to tell us?
It's gotta have something to
do with the key, right? Right?
Yeah, but what?
- How did you know to uncover this?
- I didn't.
- It was like this when I got home.
- What?
Okay, then who did it?
I don't know.
The freaks.
Wheeze!
What freaks are we
talking about, Wheeze?
Uh that sick lady and her attack dog.
They they showed up last night,
and they wanted to talk to Rafe.
- Okay.
- Wait. Pale blond lady?
- She have crutches?
- Uh-huh.
- It's gotta be Limbrey.
- Wh what happened?
First, they searched the whole
house looking for something,
and then Rafe told me to go upstairs.
But I didn't wanna miss out,
so I listened through the grate.
We looked all over the house.
This is the last room to check out.
Well, look.
Is this what you were talking about?
Yes! That's it! That's it! That's it!
This is it. All right, let's get
the rest of this wallpaper off.
Holy shit.
- Work on the other wall.
- All right.
Yes!
It's a church.
We found it. We finally found it.
And they were talking about
getting across the sand flamingo.
That's code for something.
The cross. The Cross of Santo Domingo?
Yeah, that's it. Oh, and they
were talking about angels.
- A lot of angel talk. I don't know.
- Angels?
Guys, Denmark's famous last words.
He buried the real treasure
at the foot of the angel.
They're looking for an angel.
We have to find the angel in the room.
- Start looking.
- Spread out.
- There's a church over here.
- Yeah, check the church.
- Looking for an angel.
- Could this be an angel?
Maybe maybe
What's what's going on?
Are you guys gonna tell me?
- The lighthouse maybe?
- Maybe it's heat-sensitive.
There's a cemetery
Yeah, because
It's still there. Hey, yo! Hey, guys,
I think I found something.
Come here. This humongous
tree is still on Goat Island.
You know what it's called?
Angel Oak.
- Look there. There's the keyhole.
- Wait.
That means the cross is buried
at the foot of the angel.
Wow, that must be where he put it.
That must be where they are
right now! We have to go!
I think I'm Sherlock Holmes, all right?
You're welcome by the way.
Yeah. Hurry up, Sherlock.
Guys, we're coming up
on Freedman's Church.
The church Denmark built
for all the slaves he freed.
There it is, Angel Oak.
Oh, shit! Tide's coming in.
- Um
- Hey, wait a second. Look.
They already came through here.
Those have to be Limbrey's tire tracks.
- Guys, we gotta go.
- Mmm, what do you think, chief?
I'm thinking it's
looking a little dicey.
Yeah, I'm gonna have to
agree with that statement.
- Yeah.
- Okay, clearly, they made it. No?
In a two-wheel drive?
I don't know about that.
Why are y'all acting like you're
not gonna do it anyways?
Like when have y'all ever
done the safe thing?
- She's got a point.
- Speed is your friend here, okay?
So, put her down in second
and hammer down, brother.
Stick to the ground in the middle.
All right, ready? Here we go.
Come on. Punch it.
Speed is your friend.
You're not going fast enough.
- I'm in second.
- It's gonna slide.
- You're fishtailing already.
- I know.
Not to put any more pressure on you,
but if you don't make it through,
we'll be stuck here forever.
Put your head back, okay?
- I told you we'd make it.
- That's my girl.
All right, right here. That's good.
Angel Oak is right through here.
All right, so word to the wise,
definitely know that
gators nest back here,
so keep your eyes peeled, okay?
You don't wanna step on a mama gator.
That's the last thing you want.
They have nests?
Seems like a good place to park.
All right. You don't wanna
be a Pat Womack.
She had her calf chewed off by a
gator, right? You know that, right?
That's actually not true.
Pat Womack was injured in a
car accident, but I hear you.
Okay, just live in ignorance.
But like, she had her calf
chewed off by a mama gator.
I know that for a fact.
They like the brackish water.
- Wait. Hold on. I see something.
- What are you doing?
Right. Wake them up. That's smart.
I was just making sure it wasn't
a gator. That's all, all right?
Okay, I just wanna
make this crystal clear
so you don't lose your shit
and cause another riot.
I am here for Pope and not you.
- You're here for Pope and not me?
- Yeah.
- That the case?
- Mm-hmm.
Then why are you back here walking
with me, huh, Sarah Cameron?
- I don't know. Why am I?
- Seriously?
Hey.
I don't see shit.
- You sure this is the right spot?
- Hey.
It's there. The garment
will be in the cross,
and the cross will be
at the foot of the tree.
Well, whatever we find, I get my cut.
The actual garment.
You understand the significance.
I do, Carla. Completely.
One touch of it, and I'll be healed,
and this long nightmare will be over.
Your lips to God's ears.
I know you don't believe it,
but countless stories over
millennia prove that
miracles happen.
Hey! Wait!
Stop! Stop. Please stop.
Did you hear it?
Hey, get in there, boys. Do it by hand.
Oh. This has gotta be the cross.
It's smaller than I thought.
- It looks like a
- Casket.
He put it in a casket.
- Denmark put it in a casket. Get it up.
- Let's go.
Here. Come on.
They got the cross? What do we do?
- What do we do?
- What can we do?
Be careful.
Don't touch anything inside!
Don't touch anything inside!
It's just a corpse.
Sorry, Carla.
We must have missed something.
Of course. Of course, yeah.
Of course it's just a dead body. Jesus!
We just got the wrong place.
We'll go back to the island room.
We're going back! We're
going back! It's not over!
Pope. Pope, wait. Wait! Shit.
Wait, wait. Yo.
Cecilia Tanny, Denmark's wife.
He wasn't talking about the cross.
He buried her at the foot of the angel.
The true treasure.
His wife.
Denmark was hung for burying his wife,
and now they defiled her grave.
This must have been from Denmark.
Her wedding ring.
- We can't leave her like this.
- We won't.
I just don't get it. I mean,
you guys saw the map.
He hides his gold so no one
finds it for 170 years.
And then he sends a message
to his son Robert
to come here to his mother's grave,
but the message never gets to him.
Denmark wanted him to find the cross.
I know we're in the right spot.
- It just feels like
- Like we missed something?
Guys.
Come here.
- There he goes.
- Whoa.
- That looks like
- The painting in the island room.
It's worth a shot, right?
- Yeah.
- Let's do it.
- Go for it.
- No chance.
You do it!
Sorry. I I went in
the storm drain so
She did go in the storm drain.
Yeah. No, I'm gonna do it. It's just
- He's scared.
- I'm not scared, dude.
You seem scared.
There's something in here.
Wait.
Come here!
Oh, you asshole.
Oh, man! I got all of you on that one.
Oh, yeah, real original.
Wait, but seriously,
there's something in here.
Let me see it.
HMS Royal Merchant.
Give it to the captain.
Here we go. It's a spyglass.
There's something on the ends.
An inscription right there.
Look at that shit.
Oh, what does it say?
"You've come this far."
"Do not falter. The cross is
on the Freedman's altar."
"Freedman's altar."
The cross is at the church!
- What are we doing here, guys?
- Come on!
- We got it!
- Woogity-woogity.
Ah, crap! The tide!
Oh, this doesn't look good.
- How deep is that?
- I dunno. The road's gone.
Tide rose faster than
I thought it would.
Just a little bit.
Uh, John B, how high
are the spark plugs?
- They're good. We're fine.
- How high are they?
Oh, um
Uh, just above the taillight.
Okay, so that's, what, three feet?
That's three feet. Yeah.
It can't be three feet deep.
Then what's the problem?
Not a problem.
No, we're good. We're good.
- She'll make it.
- Yeah. Fasten your seat belts.
Hold on to something.
We're going into hyperdrive.
- I'll say a quick prayer.
- Three, two, one.
Okay.
You got this! You got this!
- Faster! Faster!
- Whoa! Whoa!
Speed is your friend.
Speed is your friend, John B.
- You got it! You got it!
- Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
Ah! Shit! Oh!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I think we miscalculated.
I knew I should have driven.
Okay, maybe we can walk from here.
What? And leave the Twinkie?
The the tide's coming in.
- So then what are we supposed to do?
- Not stay here.
I can take my dad's truck.
Kie, are you sure?
How much worse can it get, you know?
We need something to pull her out with.
There's the winch at the Chateau.
That's, like, two miles.
Yeah, that's a good idea.
- If you're gonna do it, let's go, okay?
- All right.
Tide's coming in.
Twinkie's going underwater.
Double time, Kie. We gotta move.
- Hey, where's Rose?
- She left.
What do you mean, she left?
She packed a bag and
left for the mainland.
Oh, and she said something
about meeting lawyers.
Wait. Out out of town? Lawyers?
What are you talking about?
She said she'd call tomorrow.
What do you care? We hate her. Remember?
She left you willingly with me. Yeah?
Yeah. You're an adult, right?
Huh.
That's weird.
He's not in there. We're good.
Are you sure you wanna do
this, a little Dad Theft Auto?
No.
All right, here we go.
Go, go, go, go, go.
Okay.
- It was good.
- Not good.
- It was good.
- Look at this.
This is not good chicken.
All right, let's see
- It smells good.
- Maybe.
- Maybe.
- Right.
Are you gonna feed me
little bits of bread?
Hmm.
Just might.
Hey.
This'll only take a sec.
I think it's in the surf shack.
Yeah. It's in the surf shack.
I'll be right back. Got it.
Be right out.
I'm okay!
There it is.
J, J, J, it's me. It's your
father. Stop fighting me.
I don't want anybody to know
I'm here, all right? All right.
Get off me!
- How'd you get out?
- Work release.
Good behavior. Can you believe that?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Busted a window in a pharmacy.
Busted that pharmacist too.
Look, I gotta get out of here.
That pharmacist, he can ID me.
JJ!
I gotta get off this island.
So you gotta help me,
and I'm done with Kildare.
I'm taking Malcolm's boat,
and I need to get to the
other side of the island.
J! J!
- Dad, get off me!
- Listen to me.
I should've had the Phantom,
but I don't because of you.
I got your restitution hanging
over me. This is your fault.
Look at me.
You telling me you're not
gonna help your own blood?
What the frick? No. Immediately, no.
- What is this?
- Just get in the truck.
I'm sorry. The Twinkie's
drowning right now, JJ.
- What is the plan? What is this?
- Listen to me. Listen to me, okay?
I need to get into the marina
at the Island Club.
There's a boat there he can take.
You got the sticker on your truck.
Twenty minutes, that's all I need.
The Twinkie's gonna be a
submarine in 20 minutes.
- I know, Kie.
- Leave him, and we can come back!
The cops are after him!
If I do this now, maybe I will
never have to do it again.
Don't look at me.
How long does it take to go
two miles and back in a car?
They're taking a minute.
Should I go look for them? Should
I go find them and bring them back?
I don't I don't I don't know.
Just give me a sec.
Damn it! Every time!
Why do we got to send JJ and Kiara,
the slowest people on earth?
Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!
This is always happening to us.
Like, we're always right there,
and then it's bullshit.
Okay. Okay. So, here's something
I think we can do.
We can find something
to leverage the Twinkie,
and you can drive it out.
- Let's do driftwood.
- Driftwood will work.
All right, all right.
Be safe, all right?
Let me know if you find anything.
I will.
- Hey, Pope!
- Yeah?
Hey, nothing smaller than three
feet, all right? Big pieces.
Got you. Yeah.
Hey, pull up to Home Food here.
I'm gonna need provisions.
Crackers and baked beans
and tuna, all right?
And some salt and pepper.
- Yeah.
- Five days' worth.
I know.
You're a terrible father, you know that?
Yeah, preach it to me.
Set me straight.
Do you have any idea
how special your son is?
Like, even a clue?
He's a thief is what he is.
What are you?
You're just a wasted local
salt who never did shit
but get messed up and hustle people.
Not exactly impressive.
You know, you sound just like your mama.
She was just like that in high school.
Always thought she was
better than everybody else.
Kook princess.
You know, I bet you're
a lot like your mama.
Slumming with the bad boys.
Are you an ungrateful shit like she was?
I bet you are.
Miss Figure Eight,
hopping up there on your high horse,
riding around in Daddy's car.
Don't talk about my family.
Hey.
- Let's get this over with, yeah?
- Yeah.
Gross.
Oh, come on.
That'll work.
Hey, Pope, come help me out!
Give me a second. I'll be over there.
John B?
Help!
Pope! John B!
Pope! I need help!
John B! Hold on!
Sarah, what's happening?
- Pope, hurry!
- John B! Hey!
Pope, a gator has him!
John B.
John B!
You okay, man? Holy shit!
- Come on.
- Let's go.
- Go!
- Get to the Twinkie, now!
Hey, why don't you tell your mom hi?
Shut up.
Make it quick.
Come on.
Hey, Luke.
Go. Go!
Did you have to do that?
Did you have to go after her like that?
I told her the truth.
She didn't like it.
Everything, hmm.
Everything I have, you fricking ruin.
I don't try to. Just happens naturally.
You got a full tank of gas
but I reckon that's only gonna
get you to Jacksonville.
- You got money for gas, right?
- What do you think?
Yeah, no. I'll figure it out.
Dad.
Hey. Come here, son. Come here.
I know I could've been better.
I hadn't exactly been perfect either.
Well, hey, perfect don't matter.
You got a good heart.
No, no. Come on.
Can't let it end like this.
I'm going to Yucatán.
I might never be coming back.
It'll all work out.
No, it's not.
But maybe in the next life.
Come on, J. Don't be like that.
Take care, Dad, okay?
Where's the cross, Denmark?
Come on. Come on.
She really believe that shit
about the magic bathrobe?
Full-on. She got nothing else
to believe in. Why not that?
But the cross, that exists, yeah?
Did at some point.
That's a historical fact.
And it's valuable?
It's seven feet high, plated in gold,
and full of diamonds. You tell me.
I was just asking.
Shit.
Hey, Rafe. Got no beef, man. I'm,
uh I'm just here to meet Sarah.
Sarah's not here. Go go
chase her somewhere else.
What do you mean, Sarah's not
here? I talked with her earlier.
Supposed to meet her here,
supposed to pick her up.
How would I know where
my sister is, huh?
And one thing you
should know, Top, is
is I got nothing against you,
even though you totally
punked me the other night.
Really? Uh Were
were you too coked-out
to remember the fact that you
were drowning your sister?
Drowning? I wasn't No.
I wasn't drowning her.
- I was provoked, all right?
- All right, man. You know what?
You think you think I want
her with John B? Huh?
Is that what you really think?
Is that where she is?
Is she with John B?
Where the hell else would she be? Huh?
Unless she found some
other sucker. Yeah?
I can just track her.
I completely forgot.
- I can just track her phone.
- Are you spying on her?
No, I'm not spying on her.
Rafe, I just care about her.
I want to make sure she's safe.
- Can I see that? Oh, yeah.
- Jeez.
Give give me my phone back.
What? Calm down, all right?
What the hell is she
doing out on Goat Island?
Shit.
- What?
- Of course.
- Rafe!
- Go home.
Trust me. You do not wanna
be near her right now.
Hey, Renfield, I got
something. Let's go.
Careful. I'm pretty sure
that'll get infected.
Yeah!
Yeah, you're lucky. It didn't
cut into muscle too much.
Lucky I got bit by an alligator
and my car is underwater.
Do you have something to wrap it with,
stop the bleeding? It can
Oh, and speak of the fricking devil.
Look who it is,
the tortoise and the tortoise.
Just a couple hours late.
Where the hell were you guys?
Paternal complications.
Luke was at the Chateau.
Oh, great! While you were having
family time with your pops,
John B got bit by a gator.
- Like, for real?
- Does it look like we're joking?
Okay, what the hell happened?
- What happened? I got bit by a gator!
- He got bit by a gator!
I dunno why I'm being yelled at.
I put my ass on the line.
You're being yelled at because
it was 20 minutes
We got here as fast as we could.
Shut up!
Seriously, guys, I can't
take it anymore, all right?
Everyone just cut it out for a second.
Look, I just helped my dad
leave this island for good.
Like, he's not ever coming back.
He's straight up like the Spanish.
Just, "Bon voyage."
That's not the right language.
All we got
And I know for a fact all I got
is you guys, okay? You're it.
And I've come too close
to losing you, all of you.
I mean, shit, like you almost drowned.
Pope, you were kidnapped.
Sarah, you've been shot.
John B, you were almost dinner
for a freaking gator, bro.
So, this blaming each other is
some Kook-ass bullshit, all right?
We don't do that.
Okay? We're Pogues.
Sorry, that was a lot right now.
I didn't mean to
Yeah. All right.
- Well-done.
- I gotta be honest.
That was the best freaking
speech you have ever given.
Also, you should think about,
like, a Rosetta Stone
because your Spanish and
French are flip-flopped.
We should bon voyage out of here.
All right, let's get this damn
Twinkie out of here.
Keep it coming. Keep her
coming. She's almost out.
Keep it going. Easy! Easy! Easy!
Sarah, to the right.
- Straighten out.
- I am!
- Whoo! The Twinkie lives!
- Whoo!
The Twinkie lives! Let's go, boy!
Okay, you're telling me Denmark Tanny
decided to hide the cross here?
- Mm-hmm.
- Everybody, just spread out.
Okay, well, if I was a cross
and wanted to be hidden
in an old church,
where would I hide?
Are you sure that Denmark
hid the cross here, Pope?
Like, are we at the right church?
It's gotta be here somewhere, guys.
What if we have to push a secret button
or, like, play, like,
a a certain chord,
and then, all of a sudden,
the ground beneath us reveals
the catacombs or something
on which we stand?
How about we try to find obvious clues?
It's not an escape room.
- It's gotta be in here.
- Sorry. I'm sorry.
Come on.
I can't see where they'd
hide a giant cross here.
No, no. There's no way he would
set us up on a freaking goose chase
that would lead us to a
church that has nothing.
Yes, I get it. I don't know
what to tell you, man.
The clues led us here.
The cross is in this church.
Pope, it'll be all right.
We've had setbacks in the
past, and we figured it out.
- We're gonna find it.
- He's right.
We've just gotta think about
this logically, all right?
Where else would you hide a
seven-foot-tall cross made of gold?
What?
Oh, my God! Look at that.
Pope.
- Hey, no!
- Now Pope's climbing the wall.
- Wait. Pope, wait. This is crazy.
- Pope, this church is old.
- I'm just gonna
- Like really old. This isn't safe.
Yo! This church gots to be
at least 200 years old.
He's right. It's too dangerous.
Yo, let me just be real.
You're not the most coordinated
person on planet Earth.
- Pope? Pope!
- You hear me? What are you doing?
All right, this one's solid wood.
I'm gonna try the other beam.
Pope, that's rotten as
shit right there, okay?
Hey, easy!
Pope, I hate to break it
to you, but that's wood.
No, no. It has to be here. I know it.
Bro, just look out
for that giant wasp nest
right above your head.
Yeah.
Hey, just just move slow, all
right? Nice and easy, all right?
- Whoa, hey! Yo!
- God!
Look!
It's hollow.
- Go get me a crowbar!
- What are you gonna do, Pope?
I don't want this entire church
to collapse on top of us.
That's all I'm saying.
- Sarah!
- Hey. Pope.
- Throw it.
- Okay.
- Oh, for real?
- Watch your heads.
- Wait.
- Ah.
Got it!
Not bad.
Hey, Pope, Pope, there's the
wasp nest right up there, okay?
- Just move slow, all right?
- Got it.
Hey, uh
What is that?
Do you guys see that?
Shit.
Holy shit.
It's here. Oh, my God.
- You did it, buddy.
- What is that?
- Holy shit! Holy
- Oh, my God! Oh!
We did it!
Ah!
Yeah!
- Oh, my God!
- Keep going!
- Yeah!
- Holy shit!
- I thought you were crazy.
- We did it! We did it!
Okay, they're stinging now. Ow!
- Take it easy!
- Ow!
Hold on, Pope!
- Wait!
- Cushions.
- Move the pews! Move these!
- John B!
Pope, hold on!
I can't hold!
Hold on!
- Pope!
- Hang on!
- Hold on!
- Hold on!
- I'm slipping, guys.
- Hang on! Hang on!
Pope, are you okay?
- Are you good?
- Are you okay?
- Anything broken?
- Do you feel good?
You okay?
You did not tuck and roll, for sure.
