Wolf Lake (2011) s01e08 Episode Script
Legend of Lost Lenore
Woman: This is how you write a letter to your mother who is dead.
Ask her how her day was.
Hope it was fine.
Tell her about your day.
About the wedge of geese you saw flying through the winter sky.
How they seemed to call her name, as the lines of their formation shifted, crossing like a skater's legs.
Remind her of what she promised.
About your knight in shining armor.
Shining armor.
Tell her that you're waiting for him, just like she told you to.
And pray that she wasn't lying.
Explain how you'll hate her forever if she was.
And forgive her for forgetting your name at the end.
And for going away without saying goodbye.
Man: Hey! Who's there? I'll take it.
(Music plays) So what are you gonna do? You gonna sit home in your room with your books and your telescope fighting off hormonal urges by chatting with death row inmates over the Internet? Is that what you want to do? That's me.
Wolf Lake's last virgin.
What a waste.
I just I'm trying to picture myself in the middle of what's supposed to be one of the most wonderful and passionate moments of my life, and then suddenly I let go and become - you know - An animal? It's pretty much scaring the crap out of me.
So you end up with two natures.
It's better.
You know, it's more powerful, it's more interesting.
It's sexier.
Maybe my dad's right.
Maybe I don't belong with the kids on the hill.
What are you talking about? Your dad doesn't notice the changes in you because he doesn't want to.
I have .
I'm not ready.
Sophia, you're gonna flip.
Whether you want to or not, it's gonna happen.
Sex just happens to speed it up.
And when the time does come, wouldn't you rather be with someone who you trusted? That is such a come-on.
And way beneath you.
Beneath me? I'm 17.
Okay.
All right, but you gotta remember one thing.
You are what you are.
And if you don't accept that pretty soon you're gonna go totally psycho I'm there now, Luke.
I'm just trying to figure out what to do about it.
( Knocking ) Tyler: Hey , Ruby .
You awake? I got you a present.
I'm tired and I want to go to bed.
Hi, honey.
I'm home.
Tyler, get out right now.
Here.
These are for you.
Had 'em helicoptered in from Seattle.
Yeah, I know what you're thinking.
What's this pimped-out showboat got up his sleeve? You know, if you really knew what I was thinking, you'd start carrying a gun.
I don't think I'd be giving away too much if I said I was definitely packing.
What's the last thing you'd believe about me? I'm tired and I don't want to play whatever game that you're playing now.
I'm disappointed.
That's not violent enough for you.
C'mon, twist the stiletto.
Draw some blood.
Go to your room.
One thing you wouldn't believe, anyone wouldn't believe Even me .
I have a heart.
I'm gonna be sick.
And it belongs to you.
You know there is nothing more pathetic than a drunk who discovered his sensitive side.
I fought and died for you.
That's supposed to turn you on.
- Come here.
- Stop it.
- Come here.
- No, stop it.
Stop it, Tyler.
Come here.
Don't Tyler, Tyler! No! Stop loving him! Stop loving John Kanin! Or you're going to love him to death! Stop it! Okay, okay.
So next time, maybe orchids.
( Creaking ) ( clanging, creaking ) ( knocking ) Okay! Okay, yeah, I'm coming! Hey ' Why that Sherman, he is slicker than a mud wrestler's ass.
Well, tell me something.
How much is he getting for this place? Three? Four? $650.
( laughing ) - Utilities? - NO.
Ooh I think you're gonna want to put some ointment on that.
Well, at least he's gonna fix it up for you, that's something.
Well, actually, I enjoy working with the various rooms.
It's It's relaxing, you know? It's therapeutic.
- Part of the deal, huh? - Yeah.
Yeah Well.
What's this? The perfect housewarming gift.
A Dot? To piss in.
Something you won't have after the first couple of months here of "relaxing.
" You know why they couldn't get anyone to live here? I thought people were falling all over themselves to get this place.
Oh, I think Sherman meant cops from Seattle, the entire population of which is made up by you.
Anyway, three people died here.
So what, now you're telling me this house is haunted? That's a big leap.
All I'm saying is that some folks, they just don't have the stomach to live in a place that reeks of death.
Ah A little pine freshener will take care of that.
Relax, I'll buy you a beer.
But not tonight.
Tonight we drink your beer.
Oh, killer view.
- Hi.
- Hey.
What's this? A choice.
So, Luke invited you to the Rave.
Way past bedtime, no? Mind your own business.
Listen zoo bait, what makes you think you're ever going to fit in with us on the hill? I may be zoo bait, but I've got your fish on the line.
Who are you calling a bitch? Wow .
You heard that.
It's finally happening, isn't it? Sophia's change has started.
- I mean, look out, Wolf Lake! - Back off, Presley.
That's why he's sniffing around.
Just remember, once you flip, the mystery's gone and so is he.
(Music plays) All right, John, what the hell did you do with your cell phone? ( Phone ringing ) ( phone ringing through floor ) I thought you'd want to come out here and talk.
You haven't said a word to me.
I wasn't entirely honest.
Oh? Well, why did we come out here? I'm not sleeping well.
Are we going to take a nap ? I can't think about it, or dream about it anymore.
I just have to get it over with.
Today.
Before I change my mind.
Today.
Cool.
I didn't know who else to ask.
Well, you know what? You picked the right guy.
I mean, I'm not a little girl anymore.
And it's time to grow up, even if it's scary.
It's just a fact of life.
Absolutely.
And just look straight into what's terrifying me.
Right on.
So, can I see it? Please? It? The transformation.
I want to see what it's like to flip.
Why What did you think I was asking? I thought that you meant, um - Oh.
- Yeah.
NO.
Um So can you show it to me? I'm not exactly used to doing it on demand.
Okay.
Well, at least one of us is going to get naked.
It's okay to be scared.
Just don't run.
( Like breathing heavily ) ( Luke growling ) Come with me.
(Music plays) (Music plays) Hey! Open UP, hey! (Music plays) Hungry? Who are you, what do you want? Thank you.
Ham Y! Don't what? Look at me.
I'm outta here, Rusty.
Night, Sophia.
(Music plays) Dad.
What are you doing here? You said you were going to Lucy's after work to study, I thought I'd give you a lift.
Thanks , but I don't need one.
Is this what you wear these days to hit the books? I wear what makes me feel good.
Ah.
It's just a little tight.
Could cut off that circulation to your brain.
You don't think I'm going over to Lucy's, do you? - I never said that.
- Yes, you did.
You are the king of Paranoia-ville.
And I'm instantly guilty and awaiting a sentence.
Why can't you just trust me for once? Go ahead.
Woman: Want to hear my favorite? Page 1,026.
"From childhood's hour I have not been "As others were, I have not seen "As others saw, I could not bring "My passions from a common spring.
"From the same source I have not taken " My sorrow I could not awaken "From heart to joy at the same tone "And all I loved, I loved alone.
" That's very beautiful.
Mother didn't like me reading Poe.
She said it was morbid.
What's your name? - Lenore.
- Lenore.
Lenore.
And you had two sisters.
Virginia and - Ellen.
- Ellen.
I'm sorry, I thought you were Reports of my death were greatly exaggerated.
Why are you doing this, Lenore Tell me.
(Music plays) Hey, you sharing that? Sophia! You're looking good.
Thanks.
Is this as loud as it gets ? NO.
It's better by the speakers.
Then what are we doing over here? Show me what you got.
Randy, do you know where Luke is? Um Wait, wait, wait.
( Growling ) wait up! Man: Come here, guys! ( Growling ) Lights out.
Good night.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Your two sisters die or they're murdered for some reason.
Your mother wants to protect you.
So she tells everyone that you're dead as well.
And then she builds you this room to live in.
Away from the world.
Away from anyone that can harm you.
Am I warm? You're smart.
I like that.
The question is, Lenore, why are you in such danger ? Do you think I'm one of the people who want to hurt you? NO.
Then let me out, open the door.
I won't tell a soul, I promise.
- No, no! - Wait, wait, wait! Why do you hide your face ? How come you wanted that picture of me? Tell me about Wolf Lake, Lenore.
You're all trying to cover something up.
What is it? Hey, I noticed your brushes.
They're remarkable.
My brushes? - Yeah, your collection.
- It's not a collection.
What are they for then? My hair, stupid.
( laughing ) All of them? I have very beautiful hair.
I know this is forward of me but would you like to touch it ? Feel how soft? I never wash it.
I comb sawdust through it to keep it clean, like the women in France.
It's lovely.
I'm very strong, John.
Don't do that again.
Yeah, I hear you.
Mother always said I had nice skin too.
(Music plays) I guess what they say is right.
Marriage is a full-time job.
Gotta keep working at it.
You're unusually quiet tonight.
You want me to be noisy? I can be noisy.
I want you to be yourself.
But I'm your wife now, I belong to you.
I wonder if that'll ever be true.
You're not really searching for the truth, are you Tyler? It's probably overrated.
Screw it.
(Music plays) Looking for this? There's three people in this bed: You, me and John Kanin.
And I'm not civilized enough to make this work.
All bets are off, Ruby.
He's gone tonight.
How to apologize to your mother.
Draw a peace sign.
Ask forgiveness for ever doubting her.
Whisper that she was,always right.
About everything.
Thank her for the gentleman caller, whose name is John, by the way.
And even though he's not too happy right at the moment, tell her that he's perfect in every way.
Hey ' I'm going in.
If he tries to run, save me his ribs.
Hey! Hey! I'm trapped down here! This is John Kanin! There's a hidden entrance under the porch! Can you hear me? ( John banging ) ( Tyler banging ) Oh, thank God .
( Knocking ) Wanna neck? ( Happy whistling ) Time for the big pep-rally.
He y' ' ' Hey: (Music plays) ( wolf whimpering ) ( growling, barking ) Look.
Got us a white one.
John! John Please Please.
Hurry.
It's me.
Lenore? Please don't be afraid, John.
Go this way! Hurry! This way! Please hurry! Come on, hurry! Lenore don't! This is my home! - Lenore! - I can't Not out there! You don't know what they'll do to me! The others! The skinwalkers! Skinwalkers? She's here, John.
She's alive.
Ruby Find her.
Save her.
Love her.
You were never mine.
Lenore, no! Sophia? What are you doing here? I thought you were spending the night at Lucy's.
Things got kinda turned around.
We're gonna do it another night.
You all right.
.
.
You look a little-- I'm fine.
How long you been sitting here? I don't know.
What happened, sweetie? God, what is it with parents? Do they think their kids are just someone they can, like, interview constantly for 25 years? That's not talking.
That's not communication.
All right.
I'll just listen.
I don't feel like talking.
You look like your heart's broken.
Did I have anything to do with that? Suddenly, I can't think of anything that doesn't sound like a question.
I'm not totally committed yet, but, I am leaning towards respecting your privacy on this one.
Whatever happened tonight, I'm so sorry it hurt you.
And I'm glad you came home.
( Crying ) I had a chance to become a fireman way back when.
Went for a career in education instead.
Who knew it would be a better way to get girls than teaching? ( laughing ) Luckily, I sent in my homeowner's premium on time for a change.
Should be a sweet little pay day.
I see a split-level wooden and glass kind of thing, big master, skylight.
Sexy Boom, boom, boom.
I'm gonna be fine, thanks for asking.
Mmmm.
You ever heard of Skinwalkers? Ah, it's a Native-American legend.
Actually, people all over the planet have a version.
Good folklore is highly marketable.
What are they exactly? Well, they're creatures of a dual nature.
Beings that can slip back-and-forth between human and animal forms.
Schizophrenics? Yeah.
With fangs.
Want a hit? (Music plays) ( howling ) Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode.
