Saving Grace s03e19 Episode Script

I'm Gonna Need a Big Night Light

You win.
I'm turning my life over to God.
I don't believe you.
Shit, Earl.
Where you off to? Baltimore.
# So pretty and, oh, so bold # # Got a heart full of gold on a Ionely road # - # She sald, "I don't even thlnk that God can save me"# - # Save me # # Am I galnlng ground Am I loslng face # # Have I lost and found my savlng grace # # Thankful for the glft my angels gave me ## You ever see Neely catch a lobster? I saw her rassle a 20-pounder into submission by rubbing its tummy once.
Hour later, she served It up wlth a perfect Gray Rlesllng.
Which did you enjoy more? The lobster or watching Neely pole dance? Truth, Earl.
Neely was a girl of many extraordinary talents.
She just didn't have the strength for the pain in this life.
You were a good friend to Neely bringing her home to New Orleans, to her parents.
I know it would have made her happy.
- You wanna say a prayer or something? - Do you? We should get back on the road.
Oh, I figured we'd hit Bourbon Street tonight.
Shit.
You and me on Bourbon Street.
How much fun would that be? But we can't.
We don't have tlme.
- What's in Baltimore? - I don't know.
I just know that's where I gotta go.
What happened when you were in the ocean? When you were underwater? Angel Cop? Grace Hanadarko? Rocky Porter.
Bullshit.
No, I am.
I'm Rocky Porter.
Let me see some I.
D.
This is Crazy.
Yeah.
I never thanked you for finding my sister.
I was just doing my job that day, like you.
All of us were.
You want a beer? I came here to have a beer with my wife.
Breast cancer.
I'm sorry.
- What about you? - I'm here for a friend.
And we run into each other, middle of nowhere.
What are the odds of that? Will you tell me? About Mary Frances.
How you found her? Not what you told my family.
I know what you told my family.
Same thing I told the families of the two people I found.
- You want to know? - Yes.
Your sister's eyes were wide open.
She was looking towards the sky.
And I remember thinking how her necklace made her eyes look so beautiful.
I don't know why I thought that, but I did.
Then it got real, real dark.
A storm came.
Yeah.
I looked up to the clouds and when I looked back, her-her eyes were closed.
I must have shut them.
I don't know.
But your sister was at peace.
And all addressed to "Angel Cop.
" And according to the chief, it's only a fraction of what the post office has been holding for us.
- Have you talked to Grace? - No.
Has Rhetta talked to Grace? - I haven't talked to Rhetta today.
- I will take that as a no.
I was thinking about giving her a call.
I tried her this morning.
Her voice mail's full.
- She'll call when she's ready.
- Meantime, we just hope she's okay? Grace accidentally killed a kid, okay? She's not okay.
She needs time.
Captain? You want to sit down? - No, I'm good.
- Sure? One of you had maple syrup today.
Sorry.
Look, I'm the one who told Grace to take as much time as she needs but I'm with Butch I want to know she's okay.
You are cops.
Find her.
The nose of a pregnant woman is scary.
Perry Is one step away from maklng thls an offlclal case.
Grace doesn't need the calvary coming.
Cavalry.
What did Rhetta say? Give her space and pray.
- For how long? - We talked to her two days ago.
- You're not worried? - Yes, I'm worried.
But I trust her.
Grace can take care of herself.
She left Gus alone, didn't ask anybody to take care of him.
Something's wrong.
She knew Clay would do it.
If Clay couldn't, I would or Rhetta or even you, asshole.
Guys? Perry wants you all In her offlce.
Something about Hanadarko.
- That was Rocky Porter.
- Yeah, I heard.
- You hear anything about Baltimore? - Nope.
Nothlng Ilke a road trlp to satlsfy an angel's soul.
I've about got the rest of our trip mapped out.
I'm glad you're coming with me.
What would Hope be wlthout Crosby? Venus without Adonis? Cheech without Chong? First up, little side trip to Donaldsonville try to get Mr.
Boo to fry us up some catfish.
We don't have time for catfish.
We jump on the l-10 East toward Slidell, then get on l-59 towards Hattiesburg.
Only if you wanna miss the best crab boil this side of the Virgo Cluster.
It's about 13 miles outside Tallahassee.
Tallahassee's like 250 miles out of the way.
But only a stone's throw from Jacksonville where I know another little shack, and you like crawfish.
You hungry or are you trying to keep me away from Baltimore? I'm just trying to spend time with you.
- You ever been to Baltimore? - No.
Well, it's, uh, illegal to throw a bale of hay out a second-story window inside the city limits.
Good to know.
I gotta find a phone.
Call Rhetta and Ham.
Patty in Cleveland gave it to me.
Going through a tough time.
Wanted to be able to call me.
She can just call you? I could've called you all this time? Well, sure.
But you never said anything about exchanging numbers.
Ohh.
Hey, Ham.
I'm in New Orleans.
Okay.
Tell me.
Is Gus okay? Is this some kind of test? That's not how God works.
Somebody did this to hurt you.
You can feel him.
You remember this? I brought that back to you from Baltimore.
Grace.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm tryin' to find my guns.
I found your badge.
I've got it at the lab.
Run it down for me.
The fire started this morning about 8:00 a.
m.
Your neighbor across the street called it in.
- Was Leo here? - Yeah.
Right now, the fire department thinks it's electrical.
It started at one outlet and moved through the wires to three others.
Do they think it was an accident? Grace? Clay came over to walk Gus, and he was inside when the fire started.
- He's okay, and so is Gus.
- Gus is at my place.
Clay is at Blessed Heart.
Bobby was just with him.
- If Clay's okay, why is he at the hospital? - Clay's stable.
- He's lost a lot of blood.
- How? He was cut by some glass that made his blood pressure drop.
They're worried he may have affected his kidneys.
They'll know more in a few days.
He described seeing this man outside your house before the fire.
Shit, Grace.
You know this guy.
Twenty-five people, three engines, a ladder and two chiefs.
We pulled the preconnect, but it didn't do anything.
We took a two and a half in there, but we ended up having to go defensive.
I don't give a shit about my house, Leo.
If it could've been saved, you would've saved it.
I just need to talk to Clay.
The doctor said he's being overcautious, that Clay will be home in a couple of days.
Thls Is not your fault.
Clay's gonna be flne.
Gus Is flne.
I need to know how the fire started.
It was electrical.
Right, Leo? Leo? There's just some things that don't make sense.
Where have you been? I've been trying to call you.
Mexico and New Orleans.
Nobody knew where you were.
I'm sorry.
I'm okay now.
I promise.
We've been praying for you, Grace.
I hear I hear you're my hero for saving Gus.
I guess.
Tell me about this guy.
When I rode up on my bike he was walking across the street in front of your house.
He had on shorts.
It was freezing.
- Is there any more Jell-O? - You ate it all, buddy.
How about I bring you some more? What color? Red.
Talk to me.
Some real weird shit went down during that fire.
Talk to me with manners.
Yes, ma'am.
I put the leash on Gus and tried to open the front door.
It wouldn't open, but I hadn't locked it.
I could see flames on the front porch.
So I dragged Gus towards the back door but the fire was there too.
Then the fire was everywhere.
And smoke I couldn't see, couldn't breathe.
I was in total darkness.
What did you do? I started crawling on the floor.
I remembered Uncle Leo telling me that's where the most air will be.
But the smoke was so black.
Until this incredible blinding light sort of blew it all away.
Go on.
I tried to crawl toward the light.
But it seemed like it was getting further away.
That's when the sofa flew through the window, and l um, saw a man.
The man you saw outside? No.
This is a different man.
I can't remember what he looked like but he was wearing an OU T-shirt.
Was the man you saw about 60? Salt-and-pepper gray hair? Big, bushy eyebrows, beautiful green eyes? Or maybe they're hazel? l It's okay.
You're okay.
I can't stop thinking about my mom.
If she was alive after the bomb went off I know what she was feeling.
I know how scared she was.
I have a story to tell you.
About the man who found your mom.
I'm checking hotels, motels, flophouses, but I got nothing.
BOLO's got nothing.
Maybe Hut Flanders isn't local.
- Grace asked me to check Baltimore.
- Why? She didn't say, but there's no Hut Flanders anywhere in Maryland.
Canvass was a total bust.
- Grace call you from New Orleans this morning? - Uh, yeah.
- What time? - About 9:00.
She got to her house around 1:00.
How'd she drive 725 miles in four hours? Her angel drove her.
It's true, man.
Her angel drove her.
- Maybe he flew her.
- No, he didn't fly her.
They drove.
- Dewey.
- What? What? Do I believe Grace has an angel? Yeah, man, yeah.
I do.
And angels can do magical shit.
You're looking at a guy who believes in spirit guides.
- Grace mention anything about Baltimore? - No.
- What was she doing in New Orleans? - Bury a friend.
- How's she know Hut Flanders? - He's the writer.
He interviewed her.
- That's it.
- What do you mean? Why'd he burn down her house? He didn't like how she answered his questions? The last time she talked to Hut Flanders was in this office six days ago.
- She told him to stay away from her.
- Maybe that pissed him off.
I got a friend in New Orleans P.
D.
I'm gonna call him.
See if he's ever heard of Hut Flanders.
Boomer? Sooner.
Thank you.
For the record, they're not hazel or green.
They're blue, as the sky I've been told.
You were in New Orleans with me.
How did you save Clay and Gus? It's all a mystery to me too, Grace.
While you were with Clay, I was in Cleveland with Patty.
Wow.
Thls Is who burned down my house.
Do you know him? No.
But you know something.
If this is what I felt at your house, then you need to, uh What? I need to what? How do I find him? You don't.
Evil will find you.
Please don't go to Baltimore.
It's not like I can hide from evil.
We see it every day.
We don't see the devil every day.
Earl didn't say Hut was the devil.
Oh! God, oh! Grace, you slept with him.
- You slept with evil.
- He was a man.
If he comes from the devil, he can take any form he wants.
Rhetta, don't look at me like that.
But if my head starts spinning around Bleh! Look at this.
Those are from the ashes of your house.
Ammonium nitrate? I saw those all over the Murrah Building.
Shit.
The Celtic translation for Baltimore means "God's place.
" - It does not.
- Yeah, it does.
- Baltimore means God's place.
- In Celtic, yeah.
You're supposed to confront evil in God's place.
- That's it.
- That's what? - God's big plan.
- Shit.
- What Earl's prepared you for.
- Shit.
- I don't want you to go.
- What about the washing machine? - What if it was just a wave? - That was not a wave.
This is crazy, right? You put yourself in God's hands, look at what happened.
Rocky Porter, Gus and Clay, You can remember what Earl looks like.
- My house burned down.
- Yeah, except for that.
It's the only thing that survived the fire.
- Did you open it? - No.
- I didn't.
You told me not to.
- Go ahead.
Why haven't you opened it? I forgot about it.
I did.
Earl gave it to me two years ago.
He told me to open it when I was ready.
Go on.
Go ahead.
You open it.
Earl said this is another mystery.
Why it survived the fire? He made me promise to burn what's inside.
What? He brought you cigars from Baltimore? Earl is just FedEx, delivering the cigars.
- God wanted you to have cigars? - I think he did.
So do you think Hut Flanders was sent by Satan? I don't know about Satan.
Why do you think he's in Baltimore? You already think I'm crazy.
I'm going with you.
I'm going with you, Grace.
What's Earl like? Funny.
Kind.
And silly.
- Does he have wings? - Yeah.
- They're beautiful.
- Does he fly you places? No.
What does he have to say about Hut Flanders? Not much.
"Be sober-minded.
Be watchful.
"Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion seeking someone to devour.
" Peter 5:8-9.
I gotta be sober? I love you.
Recognize me? Maybe my touch will help you remember.
I wore the collar of a priest.
I drove a Ryder truck.
I went to a bar.
One drink and you were my whore.
Sí, señorlta.
I give you a ride, and you take my wallet, puta? Sometimes things are so simple.
Glvlng drugs to a drug addlct.
Tossing a ball to a little girl so she can't reach it.
The F.
B.
I.
wants us to believe that all four security cameras just happened to malfunction at the same time before the blast and then they all started working again within minutes of 9:02.
Wish we'd found Mary Frances's necklace.
It'd be nice for Clay to have it.
Give to his wife one day.
Doug isn't even sure if she was wearing it.
She always wore it.
Shit, Leo.
Whiskey.
It's 5:00 a.
m.
You're talking about your angel, washing machines and demonic forces.
What do you expect? What else you want to know? Didn't you tell me about some Secret Service documents said two guys got out of the truck? Yeah.
An agent wrote It Immedlately after the bomblng right after viewing the security videotapes - which don't exist.
- Uh-huh.
He said a Ryder truck pulled up, parked, suspects exited the truck.
Yeah.
And there were other witnesses said there were two men.
The F.
B.
I.
calls them trauma victims, so their accounts aren't reliable.
Easy to blow off.
Yeah.
McVeigh always said he was alone.
McVelgh was playlng mlnd games up untll the day he was executed.
What happened? Oh.
Uh, Gus was happy to see me.
This is who set my house on fire.
You know if he's ever been in Junction City, Kansas? He's not the same guy.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Why not? Never been found John Doe #2.
They don't look anythlng allke.
They look enough alike.
That's why it's called conspiracy theories.
Not conspiracy facts.
Here.
Read this.
It's from the Washlngton Post.
Thirteen years ago.
"Maybe John Doe #2 will be the one who got away.
"The mystery man at the center of countless conspiracy theories.
"It's possible that he never lived.
It's likely that he'll never die.
" Sounds like evil to me.
Any conspiracies in that file mention Baltimore? Yeah.
Couple of months ago, they found high levels of ammonium nitrate - in Baltimore's air.
- What's that mean? Well, it means a national terror alert.
"Four tons of ammonium nitrate fertilizer were stolen just outside of Baltimore.
" Thls Is Detectlve Grace Hanadarko, Oklahoma Clty Pollce Department.
It's 7:55 your time.
Give me a call at Area code 405-555-0163.
Hey, you seen Grace? No, I just got here.
I saw her upstalrs a few mlnutes ago.
Want me to tell her you're looking for her? No.
No, thanks.
- Everything okay? - Yeah, yeah.
- How you been doing? - Good.
Does Grace seem different to you? No.
Kind of.
Why? - This ocean thing.
- The washing machine.
- Yeah.
- Pretty amazing, huh? Not if it's gonna get her killed.
What's it like being best friends with someone knowing that they were chosen by God to have an angel? Weird.
Wondrous.
Scary.
I know God has his hand on all this and I shouldn't worry, but I do.
- Yeah.
- What's it like being in love with Grace knowing she was chosen by God to have an angel? - Freaks me out.
- Yeah! Imagine how Joseph felt.
What, you saying I'm Joseph, and Grace is Mary? That is not even remotely what I'm saying.
First, Mary was a virgin.
Hello! Second, that would make me Elizabeth, and I'm not having a baby when I'm 80.
Yeah.
No, right? I want you to Check this out.
- Oh, Ham! It's beautiful.
- Yeah.
Hey.
Morning.
Reading some of your fan mail? Post office is bringing us 50 bags a day until we can find a warehouse.
I'm gonna get 'em out of here.
They're my letters.
I'm going to be reading them all.
No way you're ever gonna read them all.
I don't know.
A bag a month.
Okay.
That's 12 bags a year.
Say there's a thousand bags - There's a thousand bags? - Captain says we're gonna need a warehouse.
I'd have to live 84 more years.
I'm not gonna be able to meet all of 'em.
- But I could send good thoughts.
- Pray for 'em? Dance for them? Why is Grace at the federal building? The F.
B.
I.
monitors sale of ammonium nitrate fertilizer.
Also anyone who buys It In bulk.
We sent the sketch of Hut Flanders to 28 rural stores.
No luck.
Captain, you okay? It's morning; therefore, I'm sick.
Hell, maybe doughnuts aren't a good idea.
You ever been pregnant? You ever have morning sickness? You shouldn't speak to something you know nothing about, Detective.
- What else? - Bobby? Uh, there's no Hut Flanders on record anywhere in the country.
I recanvassed the neighborhood.
Found a neighbor who saw Hut Flanders at Grace's house last Wednesday.
You said the last time Grace saw Hut was here at the office, six days ago last Tuesday.
He might have been over to her house.
It doesn't mean that Grace saw him.
- Neighbor said Grace was home.
- What neighbor? Guy across the street.
He remembers because it was the day of Esperanza Soto's funeral.
Forget this shit.
Look, this is Yeah.
We have not been able to get the full story 'cause we can't investigate this.
We can't do shit because we're looking for Satan.
Okay? I mean, not Satan.
I mean, you know, evil.
We're looking for evil.
I mean, you know, evil.
We're looking for evil.
- An evil arsonist.
- And we'll find this guy, man.
No! Listen to me, man.
I'm telling you.
We are not looking for a man.
Hut Flanders is not human.
Okay? We're looking for darkness, for evil.
What do you mean he's not human? - I mean he's not human.
- Says who? - Says me! - You mean, Grace.
- Popcorn.
- Popcorn.
- Bullshit.
- I do not think we can find him.
I do.
When the sun goes down, darkness will be everywhere.
Maybe we should go back to the fire, look for tail prints, horn prints.
Hoofprlnts too, I guess.
- Grace says he's not human? - Why not? The good angel, he drives her back here from New Orleans in a pickup truck and the angel cast aside the bad one sets her house on fire.
- You need to check yourself.
- You need to stop believing the bullshit.
You saying that God and angels and the devil and evil is bullshit? No.
Just Grace.
Hey! What's your problem? What is your problem? I know Grace has been through hell, and I got her back just like you.
But if this is bullshit, we got other cases we need to be working, man.
Where is she? She's not even here.
She's working on the case.
She's talking to the F.
B.
I.
Or maybe she's on her way back down to Mexico.
Hey! You better watch your mouth, man.
Why? Because you're in love with her? I've been there, man.
If I could have accepted half the shit you have, there wouldn't be a you and Grace.
Do something, Detective.
Well, how big is it? No, l-I need bigger than that.
Well, thanks.
Thanks anyway.
Help me find someplace to put all these letters, will you? Then we gotta hit the road.
You know, light erases the dark no matter where you are.
Ask any child with a night-light.
I'm gonna need a big night-light.
You are the night-light.
A mountain of mailbags is proof of that.
I'm gonna gas up the truck and get us some snacks.
Okay.
I got a pot roast in the Crock-Pot.
You wanna come over for supper? - I got something for you.
- Hmm? Who is this? Earl.
I sat with a sketch artist for a few minutes.
He did a good job.
His eyes are bluer than that.
As the sky, according to him.
He's beautiful.
- Yeah.
- So beautiful.
- Oh, my God.
- What? I gotta go.
I love you.
- There she is.
Can you see her? - Hmm.
I think so.
Right - She's right there.
- Ohh! - My baby girl.
- You got a name picked out? - Grace.
- What? After my soon-to-be husband again's grandmother, who raised him and my grandmother who saved me.
I know Hanadarko is never gonna believe it.
She's gonna think I named my baby after her.
I'm never gonna hear the end of this.
- Hey, where's Grace? - She hasn't come in.
What happened to all the mailbags? Grace found a warehouse.
She sald she's gonna read all of them.
And now we got St.
Grace.
I love this.
I don't love this.
Anybody know why Grace left her badge on my desk? Got my iPod all loaded up.
Big & Rich, Spirit Behind, Carrie Underwood.
And the Stones, of course.
U2, Barry White.
Baltimore's right here in Oklahoma City, Earl.
Sorry.
- No road trip.
- Unless you tell me not to go.
You know I can't tell you what to do.
You be good.
- Grace.
- What? Will this table be all right, ma'am? Feeling a certain Cinderella-Prince Charming thing here.
What's going on? A walk before dinner? Tell me something beautiful, Earl.
I don't know how much more beautiful anything could be than you in that dress and God's eye looking down on us.
I like to think of it that way.
In the ocean, there's tears for those he can't help.
I wanna stay this way forever.
You and me both, kid.
- Now where you going? - Chase me.
Well, why would I do that? So you can catch me.
In these duds? Oh, I swear, Earl.
If your wings didn't get in the way Uh-uh.
I know where this is going.
Take it easy.
Sex with an angel.
A gal's got to wonder.
It was absolutely the most amazing feeling I've ever had.
The pressure from the water It was like I was caught up in a washing machine tossing and turning, and my body was doing things I didn't know it could do.
And I was completely free, but I knew I was safe.
And that answered all your questions? Washed away your pain? - Have another beer.
- And more chili cheese fries.
Yeah.
No, I still got questions, still got pain.
It hurt when I was underwater.
My lungs were bursting until I just let go, and I took a breath.
And I went with the water.
What you gonna do now? You know what I'm gonna do.
You can't stop evil, Grace.
I can stop Hut Flanders.
What if you're wrong? I'm about to bet my soul I'm not.
I love you.
I love you too.
Look at all those letters.
- All that falth.
- All that love.
- I see you found me.
- You're not hard to flnd.
Nelther was the drug addlct the little girl, your sister.
Struck out on the boy though.
Thought I had him locked inside like you are now.
Didn't count on anyone getting involved.
Guess that answers my first question.
You do bleed.
Cold-blooded murder? You? Talk about evil.
750 bucks for this cigar.
That's a Gurkha.
It's worth It.
You're gonna have to keep shooting.
Is thls what God wants, Grace? You a servant of the people? A servant of God now? - I turned in my badge.
- And that absolves you? That was your last bullet.
And you dldn't klll me.
Ammonlum nltrate fertlllzer.
Doused In my fuel oll of cholce, nltromethane.
Where's your God now? Your angel now? I'll make you a deal.
I unlock these doors, and you walk out of here.
And you? I take my lawn food and save it for another pretty spring day in Oklahoma City.
You're gonna bleed to death soon.
You think so? I was the one who closed her eyes.
