Servant (2019) s02e03 Episode Script

Pizza

[DOROTHY.]
He's gone.
So is Leanne.
We need to canvass the neighborhood.
- Anything? - Nothing.
If we can find Leanne, she will lead us to Jericho.
You know what I'd do.
What any good mother would.
- Roscoe, what day is it? - Monday.
- Roscoe, it's Friday.
- It's Friday? There's a 12-second video.
It may have caught audio.
[ROSCOE.]
Please, make it stop.
- [LEANNE.]
There's no need to be afraid, Roscoe.
- Is that Leanne? If anyone has seen Leanne or has any information on her whereabouts, please contact me here at the station.
- [LEANNE.]
Why is she looking for me? - [SEAN.]
Where are you, Leanne? Why haven't you told her what she did? [CHILDREN CHATTERING IN DISTANCE.]
[WHIMPERS.]
[CHATTERING CONTINUES.]
[WHEEZES.]
[WHISPERS.]
Oh, no.
No.
Please, please, please.
[SOBS.]
No! [SEAN.]
See? There's nothing to worry about.
[WOMAN.]
Actually, there's a lot to worry about.
Your placenta is lying low and covering your cervix.
Placenta previa.
It's marginal, but any movement or activity could make it acute and put you into early labor.
No hospitals.
- Sean, tell her.
- Yeah, we've seen a lot of hospitals.
We want that little boy to have the best chance, don't we? Which means keeping you off your feet for the next month.
Well, I'll just stay right here in bed.
Won't I, Sean? If those feet touch the ground, you're coming into the hospital.
A month in bed? Easy-peasy.
[FOOTSTEPS.]
[DOG BARKING IN DISTANCE.]
Anything? Roxborough sighting turned out to be some skinny stoner who works in PetSmart.
Apparently his colleagues have had it out for him for months.
Chestnut Hill was a much better likeness, but not her.
[SIGHS.]
See, this is the problem with asking the public for help.
- The public are not always reliable.
- [PHONE THUDS.]
[SIGHS.]
And Old City was a bust, so I sent Julian out to West Chester.
I should check in on him.
Leanne is on this list.
I can feel it.
[PHONE LINE RINGING.]
[RINGING CONTINUES.]
- [CHIMES.]
- Sean.
There's no fucker home.
Well, have you tried knocking hard enough? Not an option.
I buzzed the gate, but no reply.
What do you want me to do now? Hang tight.
I'm gonna find out who lives there.
This is a fucking disaster.
Yeah, but she seems like she's back to her old self.
And this is smart, you know.
It might turn up something.
And then what? Let me see the house again.
[SIGHS.]
It's fucking enormous.
Is that one house? Yeah.
I took a satellite peek.
It's disgustingly excessive.
I want one.
Okay, the owners of the house are the Marino family.
They're something in electronics.
Heavy churchgoers.
Who needs this much security? [SEAN.]
Rich people.
People in hiding.
Someone's coming.
- Well, what is it? A message? - [JULIAN.]
Hang on.
[IGNITION INDICATOR DINGS.]
It's a fucking take-out menu.
That's it.
I've been driving all night.
I'm coming back, and I expect breakfast with bacon.
None of that low-sodium bullshit.
There's no post on social media for four days.
It's not like her at all.
She's always putting pictures up of the two sons of hers.
Maybe they're on vacation or busy.
May Markham could be holding that family prisoner in their own home.
Or worse, they could be brainwashing them with their sick beliefs.
- [FOOD PROCESSOR WHIRRING.]
- Possible sighting of Leanne.
One of a dozen.
You saw how the others panned out.
- Why are you so pessimistic? - [WHIRRING STOPS.]
This is the closest we've been to our son in over a week.
He could be on the other side of those gates, and you're making hummus! Let's say you're right.
We head over there, you start screaming and shouting.
What happens to him? No, of course.
You're right.
I'll head over there tomorrow, make some inquiries.
But for now, we should just stay put.
[FOOD PROCESSOR WHIRRING.]
[SEAN.]
It's just a house.
Oh, nine bedrooms.
That is not a house.
It's a barracks.
It's the perfect place to build and train an army.
[SEAN.]
The neighbor says he thinks they're out of town.
The neighbor? The neigh You never trust the neighbor because every time they find a basement full of bodies, it's always, "The neighbor suspected nothing".
Hold on.
There's movement.
What is it? Groceries? Yeah, it's delivery.
Which means they're home, and they have hungry mouths to feed.
[SEAN.]
What do you want me to do? Come home.
Burgers.
Burgers don't travel well.
Sushi.
We could get beautiful fish here in an hour.
Oh, guys, let's keep it simple and just go with pizza.
Marino.
It's Italian after all.
I don't wanna open a fuckin' pizza parlor.
You're not opening anything.
You're just writing a menu so we can get buzzed inside the gate.
Cheezus Crust.
Get it? - What? Religion doesn't sell? - Why aren't you typing? "The most authentic pies in Philly".
"From God's oven to your lips".
- And gluten-free available on request.
- Hold on.
Move over.
I'll do it.
[SHUTTER CLICKS.]
[SEAN.]
Slowly, slowly.
Slowly, work it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's good.
[IGNITION INDICATOR DINGS.]
Congratulations.
We're officially in the carb delivery business.
[DOROTHY SIGHS.]
This had better work.
Those are good pies at competitive prices.
If they're in there, they'll place an order.
Well, drop some more menus at the neighboring houses - before you come back.
- Why? So it doesn't look suspicious.
[SIGHS.]
Now what? Nothing.
We wait.
[VIDEO RECORDER BEEPS, CLICKS.]
[WALKER.]
Now, if you're a regular viewer, you may have noticed that our own Dorothy Turner has not graced our screens for the past couple of weeks.
That's because of a medical emergency that has her under doctor's orders to rest up.
But joining us now live by telephone is our own Dorothy Turner.
Dorothy, good evening.
Good evening, Walker.
So, how you feeling, Dorothy? Well, it was quite a scare, I can tell you that.
But the medical staff was amazing, and I am taking their wise advice to rest up before the birth.
And that's gotta be tough because you're always so active.
Yes, well, sometimes in life we have to just put our feet up and accept that nature knows best.
Well, listen, we're all wishing you a very speedy recovery, Dorothy.
Oh, thank you, Walker.
And a special thank you to all the viewers out there who sent cards and flowers.
My husband and I were just so touched.
So, God bless you all.
[BELL RINGS.]
Fuck, I'm right here.
You can call my name.
- Did you record that? - Yeah.
- I wanna see.
- Whoa, whoa.
You're not going anywhere.
[GROANS.]
It's been two weeks.
I feel fine.
I didn't just wipe your ass a thousand times for you to give up now.
You could carry me down.
You heard what the doctor said.
As long as my feet don't touch the ground.
Captain Clumsy here? You said you had this.
But if you want, I can call the hospital.
They got a bed waiting.
You're a bully.
I'm out of calamari.
I'll make you some more tomorrow.
I want more now.
Do you have any idea how long the batter takes? I mean, the flour's in Amsterdam.
Why can't you just be a normal person and do nothing? [WATER DRIPPING.]
[PHONE RINGS.]
[RINGS.]
Sean? [RINGS.]
Cheezus Crust, can I take your order? And can I take your address, please? - 1406 Hyacinth.
- [SCOFFS.]
Yeah, we'll be an hour.
Thank you.
[PHONE BEEPS.]
You're charging too much.
It's costing us $30 to produce every $13 pie.
Well, then why haven't they placed an order yet? I don't know! But the neighbors all love it.
Fungo e tartufo.
Porcinis, truffle oil, heavy on the burrata.
Yes, Chef.
- Hey, Chef? - Yeah? Why are we getting into the takeaway game? I wanted the challenge.
Yeah, but pizza? You ever eat pizza with someone you love? I've had dates that end in pizza.
Right.
Pizza's made to be shared.
You know, way back when, all food was, but the pack feeds together.
We break bread.
[RINGS.]
Sean? [RINGS.]
[BEEPS.]
Yes, Cheezus Christ Crust.
Where are you? [BLUES MUSIC PLAYING.]
We're in.
[SIGHS.]
Is it ready? I'm illegally parked in that fucking bike lane they painted.
He's been fannying around with basil for the last 20 minutes.
If they cancel this order, I am gonna fucking kill him.
What are you wearing? I was at the opera.
I have a life.
- Natalie hates the opera.
- Good for her.
You can't deliver pizza in tails.
Sean! Are you sure it's them? Twenty cheese pizzas.
There's a horde of hungry people in that house.
Not one of them has a lick of individuality.
I got six more on the way.
We've only got one oven.
What the fuck are you wearing? They're never gonna believe he's delivering food.
We're gonna have to send Tobe.
- Tobe? - Gimpy? [DEVICE CLICKS.]
- [CAMERA BEEPS.]
- It's just a regular delivery.
With the added excitement we will be right there with ya.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is in violation of my employee rights.
Yeah, how about you stop bitching for two minutes and accept a cash tip? [JULIAN CLEARS THROAT.]
What the fuck are we gonna do if it's them? No matter what, we keep Dorothy here.
[ALARM BLARING.]
Sean! [ALARM CONTINUES.]
Honey? [ALARM CONTINUES.]
[ALARM CONTINUES.]
[SIGHS.]
Uh, it's 9780 Spruce Street.
[SCOFFS.]
I can't.
I can't leave the bed.
[ALARM CONTINUES.]
[SIGHS.]
Is he there yet? It's moments away.
[SIGHS.]
[TURN SIGNAL CLICKING.]
[CRICKETS CHIRPING.]
[BEEPS, LINE RINGS.]
What's taking so long? Why aren't they answering? - [BOY.]
Yeah? - [TOBE.]
Yeah, pizza.
[LINE CLICKS.]
[BEEPS.]
Oh, it's opening.
[GATE CLANGS.]
[SWALLOWS.]
Is this corked? I can't taste.
Well, the least you could do is change it.
- You fucking change it.
- Okay.
[BREATHING HEAVILY.]
[CRICKETS CHIRPING.]
Did I miss anything? [DOORBELL RINGS.]
[DOORBELL RINGS.]
[TOBE.]

[TOBE COUGHS.]
- [TOBE.]
Hey.
- Thanks.
[TOBE.]
Uh, yeah, there's more pizzas in the car.
- [CHATTERING.]
- [TOBE.]
Hey.
Are they all children? [TOBE.]
Hey, I I need paying.
[BOY.]
Oh, they're upstairs.
[SEAN.]
It's just a party? - It's just a kids' party.
- Where's he going? I'm call him, tell him to come home.
Wait.
[TOBE BREATHING NERVOUSLY.]
[FLOORBOARDS CREAK.]
[METAL CLINKS.]
[TOBE.]
Leanne? I found you.
- [TOBE.]
Uh - Why are you here? [TOBE.]

[FOOTSTEPS DEPARTING.]
No.
No, no, no, no.
Follow her.

[TOBE GASPS SOFTLY.]
[TOBE.]
I'm sorry.
They They sent me up here for money.
[WOMAN.]
Oh.

[TOBE.]
Right, yeah.

[CHUCKLES.]
Shh.
My husband was reading to me.
He's exhausted.
[MONITOR BEEPING.]
We're wasting time! - Stop her! - Just [SIGHS.]
- Dorothy, wait.
Wait, wait, wait.
- No.
- Dorothy, wait.
Wait, wait, wait.
Wait.
- Oh, move aside! You can't just burst in there like a tornado.
She could have Jericho! But she doesn't! Leanne took a job with a family that is overwhelmed.
Do you think they want a baby in there with that woman in that condition? I don't know.
I don't know.
But I can't Don't tell me to just sit here and do nothing! You found Leanne.
Now we have to strategize.
We have to be cautious.
We need her to bring Jericho to us.
Right? [TOBE.]
That poor woman.
Do you think it's cancer? [SIGHS.]
Do I look like a fucking oncologist? And why didn't you tell me Leanne was here? We couldn't be certain.
Until now.
You sent me to spy on her, didn't you? Mission accomplished.
Welcome to the CI-fucking-A.
Hey.
[SIGHS.]
[TABLET CHIMES.]
[SNIFFS.]
They just ordered another pie.
One margherita.
[JULIAN.]
Leanne's panicking.
Okay, she doesn't want Tobe running back here saying he saw her.
- Well, should I deliver it? - Mm.
Mm-mmm.
- Talk to her? - Right now, she doesn't know what we know.
So, until we have something that resembles a fucking plan, let's just keep it that way.
You okay? You look like shit.
- I'm fucking grand.
- How's Natalie? Oh, my God.
Natalie, Natalie, Natalie.
Everyone keeps fucking on about Natalie.
I've literally never mentioned Natalie.
I have no idea how she is.
[SEAN.]
You think she's okay? You wanna go out there and make it yourself, don't you? She wants to be involved.
She wants to feel like she's doing something.
So [DOORBELL RINGS.]
[LEANNE.]
Come in.
Will you join me? [TOBE.]
What are you doing here, Leanne? I wanted to say goodbye.
But I thought that you would try and talk me out of leaving.
[TOBE.]
Would you have listened to me? - Maybe.
- [TOBE SIGHS.]
But I had to go.
I didn't have a choice.
[TOBE.]
Did something happen with the Turners? [LEANNE.]
It was Dorothy.
I couldn't live with her for another day.
I've heard enough of this.
Leave it.
She's not like she is on the television.
She's selfish, and she's cruel.
She's mean.
- Dorothy.
- I just need a minute.
Call me if anything happens.
[ALARM BLARING.]
[WHIMPERS SOFTLY.]
[ALARM CONTINUES.]
[MURMURS.]
[SCREAMS.]
[GRUNTS.]
[SIGHS.]
[WHIMPERS SOFTLY.]
[ALARM CONTINUES.]
You came all the way down? Why didn't you call? - [ALARM CONTINUES.]
- [SIGHS.]
[SEAN COUGHS.]
Don't worry.
I handled it.
She didn't mean that.
Hmm, I get it all the time.
People wanting to be my friend, but I don't have space for them.
They get jealous, petty.
It's nothing new.
Let me help.
I can do it myself.
[DOROTHY INHALES, SIGHS.]
About how much longer do you think? Ninety seconds.
Great.
Be a dear and bring it through when it's done.
[TOBE.]
I'm sure they'd let you back.
If you wanted.
Mrs.
Marino treats me very well here.
[TOBE SCOFFS.]
What about Jericho? Bet he misses you.
You mustn't tell them that I'm here.
Promise me.
Tobe? Look, they were just worried about you.
What have you done? [TOBE.]
Hey.
I I I Whoa.
What What's What's wrong? I stood up too fast.
Leanne? Leanne? Leanne? Leanne? - Leanne! - Take me off mute.
- [TOBE.]
Uh Okay, um - Tobe.
Can you hear me? Uh, yeah.
Uh, she just collapsed, Ms.
T.
I gotta call 911.
I wouldn't recommend that.
You've just entered a private residence and drugged a young woman with pizza.
Wha What? This is what I want you to do.
Pick her up off the floor, put her in the back seat of your car, and drive her here.
If you don't do that, I'll call 911 myself.
But [DOROTHY.]
Don't worry.
I handled it.
[SIGHS.]
Slice.
