Season Four Episode Six

In the late afternoon Audrey and Nathan walk into the police station. Inside the police station, Audrey and Nathan report to Dwight. It’s been months since the Jesus complex incident Nathan and Audrey have been systematically curing people with Vince, the guard’s, and Dwight’s help. Jordon wasn’t so happy to see them but happy that the people they needed to help were being helped. Dwight convinces them to slow down and take the night off, they haven’t taken any time for themselves.

As people walk along the streets of Haven, a man, hidden under baseball cap walks by Duke and bumps into him. “Watch it.” Duke says. As the man passes by the circular four person tattoo flashes in and out of his arm. He walks like he’s on a mission. Duke glares and moves on. The man as he passes a husband fighting with his wife about her “drama” passes his hand over the man and it casts a shadow on the husband. The husband fights louder and more angered telling her that he doesn’t want to hear any more drama.

Audrey and Nathan walk out of the police station and witness the fight.  They stop and stare until the man leaves. Then they look to each other, “thank goodness that’s not us.” Nathan says. Audrey nods.  They make a date to meet at the Gull.

At the Gull, Audrey and Nathan have dinner. It’s awkward there is silence. They talk about James, their son. They haven’t seen him recently Audrey admits she’s avoiding him because she promised to help him find his mother and now she has sympathy for Vince and Dave when they were keeping stuff from her. “But, what am I supposed to say I’m your mother and you were born in 1955?” Nathan is annoyed she’s keeping things from James, he would want to know something that important. She feels guilty she hasn’t told Nathan about the shooting, as is evident when she asks, “even if it made someone you love look awful?” Nathan says, “You don’t look awful, you just have to find the right time. We will.” He says placing his hand on Audrey’s in comfort. Audrey pauses looking away. She knows telling Nathan she shot him now isn’t the right time. She says, “I kind of promised to help him look tomorrow – he heard we were back in town and…” Nathan says he’ll go with her. Suddenly the same husband and wife from earlier enter fighting, the man is sick and tired of her not having done the grocery shopping. She’s angry with him about never doing the shopping either. They fight bitterly. Duke tries to get them to quiet down for the other customers. The husband says “never mind I’m done” he leaves the table throwing his ring at his wife. Audrey and Nathan stare. Audrey turns to Nathan and says, “Wow,” and Nathan nods, it’s awkward between them as they sit in silence. The wife walks away to the restroom.

In the hall, the wife holds her chest and falls to her knees her eyes turn pale.

Act I

In the morning Dwight is at the Gull, there’s a body, it’s a woman but not the wife. The woman’s heart was cut out. Duke’s upset it’s at his place. Sam comes by ready for her Bible Study, she texts the group to meet at the park instead of the Gull.  She prods Duke about joining them and he tells her to save it, she’s been trying this for months and he’s not interested. Dwight says he won’t be able to make the guard Bible study and commends Sam, calling her Reverend Lewis, for the work she’s doing with them. Duke says, that’s why he’s not part of Bible Study the guard doesn’t like him. Sam then corrects him, the Bible Study meeting in the park is not the guard Bible study but just one of many, he’s welcome to any of them. As a woman comes up to Sam, a man behind her, Duke simply walks away. Sam tells the man and woman the Bible study has been moved to the park and they should start without her. She stays at the Gull.

When Audrey shows up at the Harold Vince and Dave start to pry about her depressed mood and she relents talking about Nathan’s lack of attentions to certain matters, referring subtly to the lack of sex, revealing they haven’t yet. He dropped her off and left least night. She finally got him back and now it feels like she doesn’t have him. Nathan shows up before Vince and Dave can respond to Audrey. James is with Nathan.

At the Gull the coroner shows Dwight a rock shaped exactly like a heart and says, "This is either an extremely accurate facsimile of a human heart or..." Dwight continues, "Someone needed a replacement." The coroner nods.  Sam comes up to Dwight and asks if she can help. As people start to come to the Gull Dwight’s says he’s worried about the massive panic. Sam says she’ll take care of it, asks the coroner if they are filming – “yeah." He says. She then goes out front. Duke follows her. She writes on his chalkboard, “Closed for Filming”. People start to leave. He asks her, “Isn’t that a lie? Aren’t you not supposed to lie?” “Just call me Rahab.” “Rahab?” Duke asks. Sam looks to him, “She was a prostitute who lied to protect the Israelites.” “Prostitute Ha?” Duke raises his eyebrows. “She was also an ancestor of Jesus.” Duke stares at her “You are an interesting woman.” he says. “Thank you. I’ll take that as a compliment. You’re not so uninteresting yourself.” He chuckles. She continues, “You want to have a drink sometime?” Duke looks at her flabbergasted, “A drink?” He asks seriously thinking she can’t. “Oh I drink and dance in public and sometimes…” she leans in whispering to him in a mocking fashion, “I even cuss.” Duke laughs. “I don’t think you could keep up with me.” Duke says. “I could drink you under the table.” She says. Duke gives her an odd look like is this girl for real and what’s her angle, “Duke, I am asking you out on a date but if you’re intimidated I get it.” Duke shakes his head, “Oh no, that’s not going to work.” Duke scuttles away saying, “I have work to do.”

At the Haven Herald News Paper clippings are scattered about the table. Audrey, James, and Nathan continue to look over old files to find his mom but, a women with red hair from 27 years ago is all he knows. They find nothing. Nathan tries to encourage him to move on with his life, he’s got friends there. “Instead of looking in the past look to the future.” Nathan says to encourage him and Audrey says, “When I looked to the past I found out I was going to disappear in 40 days and then I kind of wished I’d made the most of the present.” James turns to them, “I’m sure there’s only one of you.” “Well,” Vincent says, “this is Haven.” Dave says, “You could die tomorrow from some sort of terrible trouble.” James shakes his head, “thanks guys this is making me feel great. You know if you don’t want to help me fine. But don’t discourage me. This is what I want.” Audrey and Nathan look down in surrender. Vince turns to James, “Now that’s no way to talk. I don’t know if I even want to help.” Dave looks to Vince, “Vincent stop it you’re being a poor sport for some little words. I mean look at Nathan and Audrey. He’s forgiven her for shooting him in the head.” Nathan pulls his hand out of Audrey’s upset, “What?” He says looking to her shocked. “You shot me.” Nathan says angry. Dave stares, “Oh I thought you knew.” Audrey looks to him guilty, “Is that why I didn’t remember anything.” He asks annoyed. “Probably but…” She says he interrupts, “When were you going to tell me this?” She looks at him in a closed lipped fashion that says she wasn’t ever going to tell him, “You weren’t going to tell me. I can’t believe this.” Nathan starts to storm out, opening the door. Audrey rushes to him, “Can we just talk about this.” “No, I don’t know who you are anymore.” Nathan gets up and walks away. As she starts to follow him he slams the door in her face.

Act II

Vincent encourages Audrey to go after Nathan. Audrey shakes her head, “No, he needs to be mad.” Dave apologizes for bringing it up. She forgives him, “I should have told him myself.” James looks at her staring, “why did you shoot him in the head and how is he alive?” Vince and Dave fight over who gets to explain it so Audrey explains, “I was told that if I killed someone I love, the troubles would be gone for good. So I shot him and he came back to life with the ability to cure people.” She continues to look through the old newspaper clippings, “what about this?” she asks James, showing him a picture of a woman, he looks at it not sure.

Nathan at the police station barges into Dwight’s door, demanding that there’s a case he can work on, someone who needs healing. Dwight presents the murder to him but says he’s on it. The corner then comes in, the chest wasn’t broken open with any weapon he’s familiar with, there was stone found in the wound. A trouble is involved. So Nathan’s on the case with Dwight. The first thing they need to do is talk to her relatives and they’re coming in.

Sam comes by, Nathan asks why. Dwight explains he asked her to come to talk to the dead woman’s mother, who is a prominent member of Sam’s congregation. Dwight glows about how Sam’s been really wonderful, having Bible study with the guard really helping them with their troubles. Nathan teases Dwight for liking her. Dwight denies it but it’s all over his face that he does. As they meet, Sam asks Nathan about Audrey. Nathan doesn’t want to talk about it so she knows something’s up.

In the interrogation room Dwight and Nathan, speak to the woman’s mother, who is sitting with Sam. She was at the restaurant with her daughter, who went to talk to that woman who had the fight with her husband, they are friends and she’d promised the girl’s mother, on her deathbed that she’d protect her from her husband. The woman suspects the man was troubled and as a former follower of Reverend Driscal, who wanted to kill all the troubles “cursed” people, the woman is looking down on the man.
In Dwight's office Dwight suspects that the girl’s mother knew the husband had a trouble. Nathan knows who the woman who had a fight with her husband is and says they need to talk to the husband. They are going to head to the house when. Stan informs them there’s been another murder, a heart stone left beside the body. Dwight says he’ll go to the crime scene and Nathan will head to the husband’s house, "if he’s troubled you’re the best one to deal with it". Dwight then tells Nathan to call Audrey. Nathan shakes his head revealing he’s mad at her and leans over to Dwight and whispers, “She shot me in the head…”. Dwight with his unsurprised reaction reveals that he knew and Nathan is upset Dwight didn’t tell him. Dwight knows they can’t talk about it now and says that he will talk to him about it later. Nathan leaves upset. Dwight sighs and leaves.

James escorts Audrey to the police station. She’s apologetic that they didn’t’ find anything. She says they’ll have more luck another time. She goes into the police station and asks Stan if there’s anything she can do. Another report of a murder comes in. She heads that way.

At a crimes scene, Dwight sees that another heart has been removed from a woman’s chest in seemingly the same manner. A stone heart beside the body.

Over the radio Nathan and Dwight both hear Audrey call in that a man’s heart was ripped out. She stands over the body of a man with his heart missing. A stone heart beside the body.

Nathan is at the husband’s place, he couldn’t have been the one to kill the others, he too is dead with his heart cut out. A stone heart beside the body. The wife hides in the kitchen, as she hears Nathan say the husband is dead she holds her chest and her eyes turn pale a marble like white spreads from her chest to her arms. She touches the door and it makes a thump noise. Nathan realizes he’s not alone and says so over the walkie’s Audrey on one end. He picks up his gun and goes after the woman who hides behind a door.

Audrey is worried at her crime scene. She runs out of the house.

Act III

Nathan goes through the house systematically getting closer and closer to the woman who is in pain as the marble like white continues to spread slowly from her chest to her arms. Audrey opens the side door, “Nathan” she yells worried about him. Nathan shots at the woman towards Audrey’s direction, but misses the woman upset to find Audrey there. She’s stunned he shot near her. The wife runs out the back door and through the backyard. Nathan and Audrey run towards the back and get in each other’s way, both going through the narrow door at the same time and almost getting stuck. They cannot see where the woman has gone. Nathan turns to Audrey and yells, “I had her.” Audrey gets mad, “You almost shot me.” “At least I didn’t shoot you in the head.” Nathan says. Dwight pulls up and overhears this. “Why are you even here?” Nathan asks annoyed. Audrey tells him she was worried about him.

As Dwight watches them fight he gets out of his truck angry. He finds out as they continue to quarrel about the woman getting away she got away because they were too busy quarreling. He tells them to go home and work it out. Nathan doesn’t want to. He refuses to work with her. Audrey says she won’t let their personal matters get in the way, Nathan did. It sets Nathan off. Dwight demands their guns and badges. Nathan is mad but hands it over as does Audrey. Nathan storms off ahead of her, still angry with her.

Dwight talks to Stan to put an APB out on the woman and her car.

Sam shows up at the Gull with some ice-cream. She sees Nathan in the bar. She pulls out her cell phone as she heads up to Audrey’s.

Nathan, at the Gull’s bar drinks heavily. James meets him there and talks to him saying Sam said he was there.

Sam sits with Audrey, who’s digging into the ice cream. She doesn’t know if Nathan will forgive her and she cries, “And ever since I shot him I’ve been so scared of losing him, dreaming about him being killed in front of me almost every night. I’m just so afraid. That’s not like me, which makes it worse.” – Sam suggests she talk to him, Nathan. Audrey shakes her head, “no, what I did was unforgiveable.” Sam leans in and says, “Nothing’s unforgiveable, nothing unless you don’t let Nathan forgive you.”

James sits next to Nathan at the bar who is bent over. He tries to get Nathan to leave and go home. Nathan’s obstinate. Duke says he’ll take care of it.

When Sam leaves Audrey’s the Gull is closed she runs into Duke downstairs. He asks how Audrey is with a tone that indicates he knows Nathan and her fought. When Sam asks how he knew he points to Nathan. He’s sitting at the bar very drunk. She asks him if she should get him home before he knocks him over the head with something. Duke chuckles saying he’ll do it –get him home. Nathan flaps his hand at Duke, “No, you will not touch me.” Duke leans over to Sam and whispers, “Once he’s finally passed out.” He comes outside to avoid Nathan closing the door behind him he asks again how Audrey is. Sam asks “Is it Audrey, is that why you shut me down for the drink. Do you love her?” Duke is uncomfortable with her directness and the fact she’s really interested in what he wants. “No,” he says, “I did once upon a time, but I got over it when she picked Nathan, they’re right for each other.” Sam nods. “Well, I guess you turned me down for no good reason then.” Duke smiles, “No, I have good reasons, many of them.” She leans into him, “And they are?” “My reasons.” He says. Sam nods and smiles slightly as if she’s in on some sort of secret. “Yes, they are.” As Sam leaves Duke watches her and says, “That’s trouble.” Sam gets into her car and pulls out.

As Duke wipes down the bar the wife, her body turning into stone comes to the Gull. Duke tells her they’re closed and seeing her he asks if she needs helps. He sets his hand on the bar ready to reach for the gun under it. Nathan looks at Duke’s hand right by his head. He sees his hand on the gun.

Act IV

Duke, at the Gull ready to reach for his gun is attacked by the wife. She grabs him and threatens Duke’s heart about to reach into his chest. Nathan sees and takes the gun from under the bar shoots the woman, and her arm falls off and smashes on the ground.

Audrey, in bed upstairs hears the shot and runs downstairs.

Sam, at her car, hearing the noise turns back.

Nathan falls over drunk. The woman struggles to move. She falls on the ground.

Audrey enters through the side and sees Nathan on the floor. She goes to him afraid he was shot.

Sam gets there and sees the woman on the floor and goes to her, but she can’t touch her she’s turning into stone. Sam, tells them the woman needs help. Audrey and Nathan to go to the woman, who is slowly turning into stone. Audrey helps Nathan get to the woman, but he can’t touch her skin since she’s turning into stone and the process hurts his skin. She dies asking them to find out who killed her husband. Audrey tries to explain she did. She says, “No, I didn’t.” as she dies.

Tag

At the Gull Nathan sits at the bar a coffee in front of him.

Dwight enters as the cops take the body away. Audrey asks Dwight if there’s any possibility she did not kill her husband. When Dwight looks at her questing why she’s asking, Nathan explains the woman insisted she didn’t kill him. Audrey insists the wife really believed what she was saying. Nathan says, “Perhaps she was delusional”. Audrey doesn’t think so. Dwight says he’ll check on it and places their badges and guns in front of them. “Before you take them I have to say something.” He says, “Audrey only did what she did to end the troubles, you wouldn’t have the ability to heal people and she would have gone in the barn if she hadn’t done what she did. You’re the one who said, you’d only let her go over your dead body.” Nathan nods and turns to Audrey, “I didn’t know.” Dwight lets them have their privacy. “That’s an impossible choice to make.” Nathan says. Audrey says, “I wasn’t going to do it at first but then I thought about all those people who’d die if I didn’t.” Nathan takes her hands, “You made the right choice.” He says. Audrey says, “Now, let’s get you home.”

Duke, over in the corner is icing his head. Sam asks if he’s okay. Duke, acts all tough and says it’s just a bump, but even though he’s trying to hide it he’s scared. Sam says “goodnight then”. Duke nods.

Later that night Duke’s is on his boat. Sam shows up with some whiskey, which gains her entrance. With the whiskey in front of them they start to talk. As he asks her why she’s there she says, she thought he wouldn’t want to be alone. He’s hesitant to admit it but says he didn’t want to be alone, especially die alone. She steps up to him, “or with Nathan passed out at the bar.” She says. He laughs and wonders out loud why he’s telling her this it’s like she has some power over him. As he admits this he hides his face in a glass of whiskey. She talks about seeing a dead body, it shook her up. Him too. She admits she’s seen dead bodies in China but it’s different. He asks about China, if she really saw evil spirits like Dave and Vincent’s article said. She nods. He thinks it is all bunk. “Really,” She says, “even after what you’ve seen?”

That night, in the morgue Audrey and Nathan come in. Dwight called them in since the morgue attendant wanted to see them. They look at the woman's body. They look at a body, there was a fourth victim with a heart missing, but the time of death and location the woman wouldn’t have been able to get there and to the Gull. None of the other wounds, besides the first one have stone in them and the others have this mark. It is the same mark on Shelby, the woman killed earlier that year. The stone woman only took one heart. They have a serial killer in town.

Sam speaks to Duke on his boat as they drink whiskey about how she pretended to be a Geisha to get out of China. Duke wants to see what that looks like, so she pretends that she holds a fan and shows him. She gets up close to him as if teasing him and she slips he catches her. She looks into his eyes and he stares into hers. She kisses him deeply. He kisses her in return. She kisses him pulling and pushing him towards the bedroom. On the bed they kiss vigorously.
