AGATHA AKEELA ARTHUR BLAKE BRIAN DASH FETTS GABBY GAGE KATIE KENNY STEW VEGA WALLY BRIAN You don't look like a horse thief. AGATHA I'm not. BRIAN Steady. Steady. She's not broken. AGATHA That's good, right? BRIAN Depends on who you ask. For her, maybe so. Keeps getting out, but I can't put a bridle on her. You know horses? AGATHA Just this one. She have a name? BRIAN Mercury. Do you? AGATHA Agatha. BRIAN Agatha. Well, I'm Brian. Are you looking for work, Agatha? Not too many people have a way with animals. If you're interested, I could teach you more. AGATHA Is it always this quiet around here? BRIAN Yeah. That's what I like about it, too. AGATHA GABBY No, Katie! BRIAN You're okay. Katie! Katie! KATIE No! No! AGATHA Brian. AKEELA Up all night again? VEGA No, I was just, um. AKEELA Obsessing over your father's case files? VEGA It's just, there's nothing in any of these about the blind drug dealer Dina Winter talked about, Lycon. AKEELA Because the files are just shells. Most of the data didn't get converted during the system upgrade 15 years ago. So until someone syncs the two, the old evidence might as well be stuck on Mars. VEGA We know how to get to Mars. AKEELA We do. But who knows this system better than me? Look, we're gonna get this guy, Lara. I promise. You need to get away from this. I'll let you know if I find anything. DASH You're early. ARTHUR You're late. There's only one ferry a day to the island, and we still have a car ride to make. DASH I'm almost ready. Brian Stanton's daughter? ARTHUR Nine years old. DASH Agatha- how's she holding up? ARTHUR It's her first death in a decade, and it's her old boss's kid, to boot. How do you think? DASH If you're coming along, she must be pretty shaken up. ARTHUR She is. Ready? VEGA DASH Now I am. VEGA So, uh road trip. ARTHUR Seriously? DASH She's a professional. We're gonna stop this, we'll need help. ARTHUR If you think Agatha's shaken up now, ooh, you just wait. VEGA There's no signal. DASH Don't expect much service on Fiddler's Neck. People out here like peace and quiet. VEGA There's peace and quiet, and then there's the Stone Age. ARTHUR More like the age of climate change. Ice caps melt, waters rise. A peninsula becomes an island. Rough on the condo market. DASH And then the government gave up, more or less. VEGA So if there's no government, then who makes the rules? Who's in charge? DASH They're called the Guard. ARTHUR They named themselves. A little much, if you ask me. DASH They make sure no one brings in any contraband- Gmos, nanotech, anything that's dangerous to the island's more natural way of life. ARTHUR And they don't much like outsiders here either, so just follow our lead. KENNY Come on, move along. Let's go. All right, move along. FETTS Well, look who came to visit. Arthur, been forever. ARTHUR Fetts. FETTS Slash. DASH Hello. ARTHUR You're in the Guard now? FETTS We all got to grow up sometime. Just took me until I was 36. ARTHUR Too bad. I liked you as a young idiot. FETTS Eh. Who's your friend? And, uh, what's that? VEGA Police issue. Don't worry. It's nonlethal. I mean, unless I shoot it at you. FETTS Cop. DASH Detective Vega's here to start fresh. Can't sleep in the city anymore. Angry all the time. We told her that Fiddler's Neck was just the place for new beginnings. FETTS Well, if you two vouch for her. I'll see you around, boys. VEGA Slash? DASH It's a nickname. ARTHUR It's meant to be ironic. VEGA DASH Don't worry. She's gonna like you. ARTHUR Unless she jumps into your future and sees you betray us. VEGA She still believes that? Maybe after this, she'll trust me. ARTHUR Right. VEGA Guess that's gonna happen a lot this weekend. AGATHA I saw you through the window. VEGA Oh. AGATHA But I didn't see this coming. DASH You called for help to stop a murder; that's what Vega does. AGATHA I called you. ARTHUR I wasn't crazy about it either, Ag. VEGA Can I interview the witness? Please? AGATHA The murder hasn't happened yet. There are no witnesses. VEGA There's one. VEGA I know you don't work like them, that you see what the victim sees. AGATHA And I feel what the victim feels. VEGA That you become her for a moment- the moment. AGATHA You could call it that. I die. VEGA We call that an eyewitness. So you're in your bedroom. Is it day or night? Can you tell what time it is? AGATHA I heard a whip-poor-will. It's a local bird that makes its call just around sunset. DASH That gives us until tomorrow night, at least. ARTHUR Or it already happened. AGATHA It didn't. VEGA What else did you see? BRIAN You hang in there, okay? Please. AGATHA Parents leaning over me. GABBY It's okay, sweetie. AGATHA They look so scared. GABBY Everything's gonna be okay. AGATHA I'm afraid, too. AGATHA I don't think anyone killed me yet. I'm just sick. My stomach. DASH Sick? But you wouldn't see anything unless it was a murder. VEGA But your stomach hurts. Poison. Did someone poison you? Did someone give you drugs? Maybe your mom or your dad? AGATHA My mother doesn't believe in drugs. VEGA What about your father? Was it him? Did he poison you? It was him, wasn't it? AGATHA Brian? VEGA The father. AGATHA You don't know what you're talking about. VEGA Then tell me. Are you sure it isn't him? How do you know? AGATHA Because I know Brian, and he would never do that. Excuse me. VEGA How well did you know Brian? AGATHA I'm not sure who you think you are. VEGA A cop, trying to stop a little girl from being poisoned. And it matters. What are you hiding? Was he married at the time? AGATHA No. VEGA Do Dash and Arthur know you were in love with him? AGATHA No. VEGA Well, they came a long way to help you, so you better tell them. We need to work together if we want to save this child. BRIAN Agatha, you should have come. AGATHA How was she? BRIAN She was beautiful. I thought the last of those cows had gone extinct. I mean, even when I was a kid, you didn't see Randall Linebacks anymore. People stopped eating real beef 'cause that vat-grown stuff was so cheap. But there she was. AGATHA BRIAN Sorry. Sometimes I go overboard. AGATHA You love your work. BRIAN Well, there's more possibility with you here. There's just so many things I don't have to explain to you. That's why I used to work alone. AGATHA That isn't why. BRIAN I'm sorry? AGATHA I know you keep some things from me. It's okay. I don't want to talk about the past. I like the present better. BRIAN Well what do you know? AGATHA That you'll kiss me back. AGATHA There's Katie and her mom Gabby. I'm sure Brian's around. VEGA Does she know about you two? AGATHA I don't think so. And I'd prefer she never did. VEGA Okay. You and I go talk to the mom. You chat her up while I use this. DASH What is that? VEGA Tox screen. See if she has any poison in her system already. Only need a sample. Let's go. KATIE DASH There she is, Katie Stanton. GABBY Katie, cover your mouth, please. DASH Gabby Stanton? Dash. Some people called me Slash. GABBY Oh, right. Right. Haven't seen you in a while. DASH I moved to the city. You sure don't get produce like this where I live now. VEGA Yeah, but why is it so small? I mean, corn should be, like. GABBY It's natural. We also make our own soups. Chowders, split pea. Try some? VEGA No, thanks. DASH Mm. No, that's okay. GABBY You're from the city. VEGA Thinking of moving to the island though. GABBY If you're looking for a place to rent, we have guest quarters at the farm. VEGA Oh. I'd love to check that out. And who is this? And what's she eating to get so pretty? KATIE Katie. GABBY Honey, I said cover your mouth. VEGA Is Katie sick? GABBY People bring these things in from the mainland. Here. Take the lozenge Dr. Gage gave you. VEGA She's seeing a doctor? GABBY Herbalist. The kind of medicine that doesn't rot our bodies from the inside out. AKEELA You got a sec? BLAKE Yeah. AKEELA There's been a breach in the system. BLAKE Our system? AKEELA Mostly trolled files, but Sisi said they tried to hack into Hawk-Eye but couldn't get in. BLAKE We got to bring this upstairs. AKEELA Before you do that, they've been poking around for stuff. On you. BLAKE Me? AKEELA Yes. Case files, HR reports, anything with your name or badge. I took the breach personally, so I back-hacked by planting a beacon on the invader. BLAKE Find anything? AKEELA No. The I.P. addresses were hardcoded in the malware that originated from Kuala Lumpur. Do you have any enemies there? BLAKE Everywhere but. You saw D.I.A. around the other day? They're vetting me. AKEELA A D.I.A job? I could have just sent them the files upon request. BLAKE Akeela, that's how you vet. You dig into people's private lives without them knowing, and that's where the gold is. I was born to work there. We got to get out in front of it. AKEELA We? BLAKE Yeah. Shake some trees. Maybe there's something I don't know about. See what you can find. ARTHUR I understand why you kept Brian a secret. 'Cause you kept telling Dash and I not to get involved with people. You were a hypocrite. AGATHA Yes. ARTHUR What I want to know is why it ended. Was it you or him? AGATHA That's personal. ARTHUR Come on, I tell you everything about my girlfriends. AGATHA I know. I wish you wouldn't. I'm going to talk to him. ARTHUR Wait. Good to go. AGATHA Hi. BRIAN Agatha. AGATHA Hello, Brian. Katie's getting big. BRIAN Yeah, they grow up fast. AGATHA How is she? BRIAN Gabby has her up to ninth-grade quantum physics, string theory. AGATHA Wow. And how's her health? BRIAN Gabby's watching everything she eats. What's this about? AGATHA Nothing. I. Just you've been on my mind. BRIAN Should probably get back to my family. DASH Everything okay? AGATHA Yeah. Did you learn anything? VEGA Mother's protective. And Katie's cough seems like more than a cold. ARTHUR : What about the tox-screen? VEGA No poison detected. ARTHUR So we're exactly nowhere. VEGA Unless she really does die of an illness. ARTHUR If she's sick, how is that a murder? Why would Agatha see that? VEGA Maybe they know she's sick, but they won't give her the help that she needs. What about that doctor? She said there was a doctor on the island. DASH Yes. Sort of. AGATHA Why don't you pay him a visit? DASH Dr. Gage? GAGE I used to see you a lot when you first moved here. You were a real hypochondriac. DASH I didn't have a lot of friends. You take 'em where you can get 'em. GAGE Why are you still living in the city, Dash? DASH Oh, I kind of like it. GAGE Hmm? Mm. I mean, I got to give you the stats on illness in metropolitan areas. Humans weren't designed to live that way. Nearly killed me. I was 260 pounds. Then I moved here. So, what is it with you? Lungs? Indigestion? DASH Actually, I'm here about a friend. GAGE You know that lying causes stress, right? Which kills. Wh-What's been the single biggest health event of the 21st century? DASH I'm not lying. GAGE 2031. Every person on the planet had their entire digital footprint made public. E-mails, search histories. Best beach reading ever. DASH It was before my time. GAGE The stress levels went through the roof. Divorce, alcoholism. 15 million deaths were attributed to that one hack. Okay, I'm telling you, it is madness to have those damn things in a home. Hmm. DASH Um, I wanted to ask you about Katie Stanton. I heard she was sick. Her father was a good friend of my sister's. GAGE Yeah. Brian came to see me, disturbed. Nearly a panic. Poor girl came down with malaria. A-and you can thank the flooding of the Chesapeake for that. DASH Malaria? But there's a vaccine for that. GAGE A vaccine? The city air is going to your brain. The-the malaria vaccine did this world more harm than good. DASH You won't give her any medicine? GAGE Now you sound like Brian. Luckily, the girl's mother has more sense. She and I are working on a holistic cure. You know, we're gonna wipe this whole infection away in no time. VEGA Katie just needs malaria medicine, but her doctor and parents. DASH Mostly her mother. VEGA are stopping her from getting it. Would you feel that as a murder? AGATHA It's possible. VEGA Well, first things first- we need to get the girl her medicine. DASH Melindan. Gates Foundation. 2022. I have a head for history. VEGA The question is how do we get it? The next ferry isn't till tomorrow morning. ARTHUR Leave it to me. You think this will be the first time I snuck contraband onto the island? You'll have it before sunset. VEGA The hard part is convincing crazy mom to give it to her daughter. AGATHA That's where you come in. VEGA No. You. You two get the medicine, and by the time you've done that, hopefully we've convinced Gabby, and you can meet us at her house. You're coming with me. ARTHUR You girls have fun. Use your words. Let's go. WALLY You want me to find dirt on a cop? AKEELA I have Blake's permission, but I can't risk having it being traced back to me from Metro, so I need to outsource it. WALLY What's in it for me, besides jail time? AKEELA You're a rebel. You live for this. It's not like you're in this for the money. Obviously. Unless, of course, you don't think you're up to it. WALLY Uh. DASH You ever wish we still lived here? ARTHUR Never ever. You do? DASH You got to admit, it's peaceful. ARTHUR Sure. Only children get murdered. If you love it so much, why don't you move back? DASH I've thought about it. Let me ask you a question. If you could lose our gift, or curse, or power, whatever you want to call it, would you? ARTHUR I'll go with "curse," and yes. Powerful people want to put us back in a milk bath prison. Maybe our government, maybe another. We're always gonna be hunted. I'd prefer that wasn't the case. You? DASH I'd keep it. ARTHUR Why? Seeing people get slaughtered and not make a dime? DASH Yeah, that part's tough. But I have a chance to save them. Not many people do. FETTS Hey, guys, what's going on? ARTHUR Fettsy. Sorry, we're, uh we're fishing this spot. FETTS Oh, yeah? Where's your poles? You're talking about that stork coming in. KENNY Weird-looking thing. STEW Wonder if it's good eatin. FETTS One way to find out. ARTHUR Why'd you do that, Fetts? FETTS You arrived with a D.C. cop, Arthur. Just doesn't add up. DASH Why are you afraid of the cops? Aren't you the law around here? ARTHUR If you're the law, it's easier to break the law, right? FETTS Well, somebody had to pick up where you left off. ARTHUR Fetts, don't worry about that D.C. cop. She's on my payroll. I guarantee you, she won't be a problem. Let me just get my stuff, and I'll. FETTS Stop. KENNY Titanium. I need the body open to check it out. ARTHUR What are we doing? FETTS Opening up your drone, making sure there's no cameras, infrareds. ARTHUR Come on. FETTS Shut up. You've always been real good at taking care of yourself. Just making sure that you're not selling me out. And you're staying with me until I am. Let's go. BRIAN Did you see that house back there? The red one? AGATHA Yes, it's cute. BRIAN It's in a great spot, but I'd open it up a bit, knock down a few walls in the front, give it some space. AGATHA You'd need more space? BRIAN We might. Haven't you thought about it? A family? I'm sorry. I pushed. You once said you knew I had a secret. You know what it is? AGATHA I never asked. BRIAN Prison. I spent six years in one for grand theft. And when I got out, I came here and spent my days thinking about how I could have done things differently. But since I met you I've been thinking about what can be. I see us living in that little red house. You painting the walls in the nursery when the baby comes. Maybe a daughter. We'll name her Katherine, Katie. She plays out there in the fields with all the horses. Can you see? AGATHA No. BRIAN Maybe it's too soon. AGATHA No, I can't see that at all. BRIAN What is it that you're afraid of? AGATHA You don't understand. There are things. BRIAN Tell me. Please. AGATHA I can't. I'll only get you hurt. Anybody close to me. This was a mistake. BRIAN No, it's okay. Agatha, let's just talk about this tomorrow. AGATHA I won't see you tomorrow. You'll wake up, and you'll go to the barn. You'll touch Mercury on the nose, and you'll tell her that I'm gone. In time, she'll forget. And so will you. We all forget. BRIAN What are you talking about? Agatha. AGATHA Good-bye, Brian. BRIAN Agatha! VEGA So when are we gonna talk about it? AGATHA About what? VEGA Your vision. The one that has you so upset. Maybe it's a misunderstanding. AGATHA That's not how these things work. VEGA So how do they? AGATHA I don't get many visions anymore. Not this far away. The night Dash left for the city, I saw one, and it was the three of us- Dash, Arthur and me. Hooked into their system. And now I've seen you there, too. VEGA Doing what? AGATHA Standing above us. Staring. Like we're held captive. VEGA I thought you didn't see your own futures. Maybe I'm trying to help you. AGATHA Maybe. VEGA Or maybe we can change that future. That's what Dash and I do. I promise, I won't let you or Dash or Arthur get hooked up in the milk bath again. AGATHA And I will feather my bed with all of your good intentions, Detective. They don't matter. You only appeared in my vision after you met Dash. The events are already set in motion. KATIE Good. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Come on. Come on. VEGA Should I go alone? AGATHA No. I want to be here. KATIE VEGA Hi. Katie? Right? KATIE Yeah. VEGA I'm, uh, Lara, from the market. KATIE Um what's your name? AGATHA I used to work here. I'm Agatha. Is Mercury to pasture? KATIE We lost her last winter. AGATHA Sorry to hear that. GABBY Katie? Hello again. Can I help you ladies? VEGA Hi. I was, uh, hoping I could check out those guest quarters you have for rent. Uh, this is my friend. KATIE She used to spend time here. AGATHA Work. I worked here. GABBY Katie, will you check on the soup, please? KATIE Yeah. GABBY You're her. You are the one he never talked about. What do you want? BRIAN What's going on? VEGA I came to see the rental. GABBY Sure. I'll show you. BRIAN I can do it. GABBY No, you two need a chance to catch up. BRIAN Why now, Agatha? Why would you come here now? AGATHA Dash's friend needs a place to stay, and you guys have. BRIAN Last I checked, there are 23 places in town. We offer the fewest amenities. Yet you drag your friend here. Why? AGATHA The stars are brighter out here. BRIAN Stop. AGATHA I'm worried about you. About Katie. BRIAN What? What are you doing? AGATHA You're lying. BRIAN What are you talking about? Hey. Where are you going? Agatha! Get out of there! AGATHA The medicine. You hide it from your wife. BRIAN Hey, you give that back. AGATHA You're giving it to her. Gabby doesn't want to treat her 'cause she doesn't believe in medicine, but you're giving it to her anyway. BRIAN How? Look, stop. I don't understand how you do what you do... but please don't tell Gabby. AGATHA I won't. I knew you wouldn't y-you couldn't hurt her. BRIAN Now, Agatha, tell me what's going on. AGATHA Now I don't know. AKEELA Why do you live alone like this anyway? You're worth hundreds of millions. WALLY I am a one-percenter- I give away 99%. Look it up if you don't believe me. AKEELA I did. I also know that you're from Albany, you are the son of a genius architect, your mother was a microbiologist. You like calico cats and cashmere socks. And you were once married for two years to an ex-nun named Diana. WALLY You think stalking social media is a skill set? You have seven stocks and seven bonds your grandfather gave you worth $958,000 as of 2:00 today. You still have a six-year-old voice mail saved from a boyfriend in Morristown describing what he would do to you with his fingers and his toes, and I can't believe a systems operator for a police department uses passwords from Beatles songs. I'm good, Akeela. You're a high school freshman. Ow! Seriously? AKEELA That was a violation. I was violated. WALLY Said the pot to the. Whoa. AKEELA What is it? WALLY There's a D.I.A investigation into Blake. Dogs fully unleashed. AKEELA What did he do? WALLY He didn't do anything. They're looking into his Hawk-Eye program. They want to know how his cops are getting such great arrest numbers. AKEELA Well, that's easy. Detective Lara Vega is secretly working with a Precog. WALLY If they keep looking, it won't stay secret long. GABBY Looks like you're in a hurry. You sure you're ready to move to a place like this? VEGA It's exactly why I need to move to a place like this. GABBY The inside is lovely, simple. But it has everything you need. VEGA What happened here? GABBY Nothing. A a bird flew into it. VEGA So, a .44 caliber bird flew in? Gabby, who shot into this house? GABBY You're not looking for a place to rent. VEGA I'm a police officer. And I have reason to believe that your family is in danger. STEW Let's go. Move it. KENNY No surveillance, just this. ARTHUR Malaria medication for a local kid. FETTS Medicine. Wow. You've changed, too. DASH Tobacco? ARTHUR Cash crop. Ever since that amendment passed making it illegal. Never saw you as a farmer, Fetts. FETTS I deal mainly in distribution, security. We outsource the growing. ARTHUR Who? FETTS Local famers. Vogel. DiMeesas. Nunis brothers. You know, some like to make a buck, others are, well, less enthusiastic, but where there's a will, there is a way. DASH What about Brian Stanton? FETTS Tougher nut to crack. DASH His wife would not want tobacco growing on their land. FETTS We're negotiating. DASH Is that what these are for? Or is there really that big a pest problem drying tobacco? KENNY That's not the pest were dealing with. FETTS Kenny! Outside. FETTS Lock 'em up. Join him in there, Arthur. You boys sit tight until we figure out what to do with you. DASH They're gonna poison the Stanton family. That's how Katie dies. ARTHUR You know what I'd like to have right now? DASH Phone service? You meditating now? ARTHUR Two, six, one, five. DASH Please tell me that's the combination. FETTS Kenny, you run your damn mouth too much. Now they're asking about the Stantons. You see, that could be a problem. If they figure out what we're trying to do here. Hey! KENNY Hey, come back here! FETTS Son of a bitch! Get in the damn car! BRIAN Yeah, I've been beefing with some thugs who want to grow tobacco on my land. But why do you think Katie could somehow be in danger? AGATHA You just have to trust her, Brian. She wants to help. VEGA Is that? AGATHA A whip-poor-will. GABBY Brian! Brian! VEGA What happened? GABBY He was fine. He was. VEGA Poisoned. The water. AGATHA That must be how she gets sick. BRIAN How who gets sick? VEGA Katie, no! AGATHA Katie! VEGA Stop! Katie, stop! Katie! DASH No! KATIE What? I was thirsty. ARTHUR It's the water. VEGA At least we stopped it. DASH We're not done. Fetts and his guys, they're coming. ARTHUR Five men, three shotguns, two have Glocks. 36 rounds of total ammunition. DASH Okay, we have a sonic pistol and a spatula. VEGA Brian given how friendly your neighbours are, you must own a firearm. GABBY Given his criminal record, I thought it best he didn't. AGATHA We are not without skills, Detective. VEGA Take Gabby and Katie to the guest quarters, and stay quiet. GABBY I'll get Katie. BRIAN Once they're safe, I'll come back to help. AGATHA No. I did see it. Our future. Had its moments- they were nice. But I also saw them, and I saw how happy you would be with them for the rest of your life. You need to protect that. VEGA Agatha. They're coming. FETTS Get in the house. You two, over there. Look around the other side! BRIAN I got to go back. STEW Where you going? BRIAN Easy. STEW Back up. Don't want any nasty accidents. Hey, Fetts, I got the farmers. FETTS Make it look like an accident. We'll get the others. DASH Seven footsteps. VEGA What? DASH I'll tell you when. FETTS You three should've stayed home today. FETTS Up against that wall. Stew! Make sure they don't escape around the back. You know, I'm glad y'all showed up though, 'cause I have always wanted one of these. Alright. Let's finish this. See you on the other side. VEGA Hands in the air! Nice move. Want to do the honors? AGATHA Sure. VEGA Get up. Let's go. ARTHUR You know what I love about this place? DASH No. ARTHUR Me neither. Hey, sis, how about next year, my place for Thanksgiving? AGATHA Thank you. Be careful. DASH I'm more worried about you. AGATHA Don't be. VEGA Well, I'm looking forward to getting back home. AGATHA And I'm looking forward to seeing you again, Lara. And this time, we'll see who's right about all this.
