Original subtitles

I always shed their skin somewhere.

You think you have a mole?

Several. Previously on The Oak.

Victoria has been sleeping with everybody. He pimped himself out. It was

power move.

I've shown you all the evidence that you should need. I need a clear story from

both parties in order to craft the best narrative.

They're going to put together a statement about everything that's

give to the press.

What are you going to do, shoot me? I'm going to stab you.

I'm not scared of you.

Jason, no. Let her go.

Jason, let her go.

I want you to die. I want you to die. Stop it. Stop it. Let her go.

Let her go.

Dad, let me go.

Victoria. Victoria.

Jason, what did you do?

Jason, what did you do?

Victoria. Let me go.

Jason. Dad, just let her die. No.

Victoria.

Victoria. Die, bitch.

Stop it. Stop it. I want her to die.

Jason, she's going to die.

You can't do this.

Damn it, Jason.

Help me.

Jason, what did you do?

You hate her too, Dad.

Why are you doing this to her? Stop. Stop.

You can't kill her, Jason.

You can't do this.

I said just let her die.

No, Jason, not like this.

Victoria!

Help!

I'm bleeding out, Hunter.

Help! Let him go!

Damn it!

Don't let him go. I won't.

I won't, Victoria.

I won't. Hang on, Victoria.

Hang on. Just relax.

Try and relax.

Try and breathe deep. I know. I know it hurts. Just try.

Nobody's coming, Dad.

Just let him go.

Someone is coming.

Nobody's coming. They do. They're coming down. They have to feed us.

What's wrong with you?

You want her dead just as much as I do, right?

No, Jason. You don't understand.

I don't understand. No, you don't understand. First you want her on my

then you're on her side. You don't understand. You don't understand, Jason.

don't understand.

Help!

Help!

Keep screaming, Dad.

I'm not going to tell you again. Stop moving.

I will choke you out.

Stop it.

I won't do anything, okay?

Just let me go.

It's not going to happen.

He's not going to help.

I won't, baby. I won't. Just hold on.

Just hold on, Victoria. You can do this.

Look at her begging for me, Dad. I know.

But you did, Jason. Damn it!

You are going to die a slow and painful death.

No, you're not, Victoria. You're going to hang in there.

You're going to be there. You're going to be down here soon. Don't move so

Don't move so much. Make it a clean floor.

Oh, it's making it bleed more.

Keep screaming, Mom.

Stop screaming, Victoria.

I'll just keep screaming.

You have to relax.

Stop it.

Help!

No, you have to preserve your energy. I'll yell.

You just breathe.

Just focus on breathing.

Focus on trying to relax.

Bring down your blood pressure.

Just relax.

Relax. I know it, baby.

Just relax.

Look at all that blood.

Oh.

Not letting you go.

Victoria, stay with us.

I know. I know, baby.

Just relax.

It hurts.

I know. I know it does.

Look at all that blood.

Jesus. Why?

Why?

Just relax. Anything extra is going to make you bleed out faster.

No, I know. It's going to be okay. You're going to be okay. You're stronger

this. Kind of like the knife you put in our backs, Mom.

Shut up, Jason.

No. Shut up. What's wrong with you, Dad? No, what's wrong with you?

Hey, baby, let me see.

Victoria, baby, let me see.

I just want to see how deep it is.

Just don't push on it. Don't push on it.

Make it bleed more.

Yeah.

Yeah, let it see.

Just don't, don't, don't, don't push on it. Don't push on it.

Try and put pressure around it.

Try and stop the bleeding.

Don't you move, Jason.

How can I move when you're holding me?

Victoria, I need to get a closer look.

Mom, I think you should just pull it out. No, we're not going to do that. Do

pull it out. Just rip it right out. No, do not do that. It'll make it bleed even

more. Dad, that's what we want. No, it's not.

Pull it out.

Pull it out.

Just pull it out. No, pull it out.

Victoria, do not pull it. I know how much it hurts. Do not pull it out.

No, it's stopping the bleeding. It's stopping the bleeding right now. Just

it. Put pressure around it. Try and close the wound.

Damn it, Jason. Look at all the blood.

What? I don't have a skin.

What? Just be quiet. Don't touch me.

Okay, so I did her in, all right? She's your mother.

So? So what? Just shut up.

Where do you stand?

I stand with the family.

You don't stab your mother. What's wrong with you? Where the hell? is everyone?

They're not coming in here, Dad. Shut up!

Help!

Hey, you morons!

Get down here!

I don't understand this. You hate him, too, and now you're trying to save him.

You don't understand anything, Jason. Just be quiet.

Be quiet.

It's... It's just not that simple.

Why not?

Because that's the way life is. Just shut up. Mom, Dad, help. I cannot

you did this. Dad, help. Look at this!

Dad, I did you a favor.

I did both of those things.

I need you to help me understand right now.

What side are you on? Why are you acting like this?

Jason, you don't understand. This is not what should be happening right now.

This is not what you do. This is so wrong.

Can't you see how wrong this is? But, Dad. No!

You want me to drag the body a little bit? No!

Well, if I drag the body a little bit closer, you can get a little smarter.

Dad, come on. You're hurting my arm. Yeah, I am. Stop it. Yeah, stop moving.

Stop resisting. Stop trying to break away.

Why? Because I'm going to break your ribs if you don't.

Look at this.

I'm not letting go of you. Shut up. Stop moving.

Victoria. Yeah, I'm not letting you go. Because I know what you're going to do.

You're going to... What?

You think I'm going to finish the job?

Yeah. No, Dad.

Listen to me. I like to watch them die slowly. Don't.

Stop it. What's wrong with you?

Victoria?

Victoria! I'm not going to do that, Jason.

Victoria, hey, baby. Hey, hey, hey, stay with us. Hey, hey.

Thanks, Xander.

Oh, no, honey, it's okay. It's okay. You're going to be okay.

You're going to be okay.

That's because you've lost so much blood.

I like this feeling.

I know. Just relax a little bit. Just stay with us.

Stay conscious.

That's the devil coming for you, love.

Xander. That's one of the signs.

Are you feeling tired, mom?

Yes, yes.

That's the devil. He's coming for you.

I can't believe this.

No, no, Victoria.

No, don't give up.

Stay with us. Stay conscious.

No, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Nobody is coming. Dad, they are. They have to feed us. They have to come back

her. They have to check on us eventually.

Yeah, you keep believing that.

Victoria!

Stay with us, babe. Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Dad, nobody is coming, okay?

Someone is. Be quiet. Someone is. Just watch her die.

No, no. Hey, hey, hey.

Look at her, Dad.

No. I can see her heart.

Victoria. Why won't you just let me finish the job? No.

Well, you can't hold me all night. Yeah, I can.

No, you can't. Yeah, I can. Watch me.

You're going to get tired soon. I'll break your freaking neck before I get

tired.

Well, we'll see.

We have nothing but time.

Vic, hey, hey, Victoria.

Victoria, honey, hey.

Come on, wake up.

Jesus, what have you done?

Help!

Hey.

Did you hear that?

Dear watch, be quiet, be quiet. Listen.

What is it?

It sounds like somebody's screaming for help.

Donald, these walls are 19 inches thick. I'm sure you're hearing... Shh, shh,

shh. Just listen.

Help!

Shit. Maybe I do hear something.

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.

Help!

That sounds like Hunter.

Yeah, maybe.

Damn, what are they doing to him?

Maybe they're torturing him.

Then why would he be screaming for help?

He doesn't know how thick these walls are. He's just screaming for help.

Right.

That's a good point.

Let me ask you something.

What?

What, you want him?

What? No.

Stop lying, Kyle.

Wait, what? Do you want him?

Hell no.

Donald, are you lying to me? No, listen to me. I am attracted to intelligence,

okay? That man, he's stupid on every single level. He ain't got that.

Yeah, I agree.

If he'd have just... Been the president?

No, no, no. Just attended a cabinet meeting. That's it. Yeah, or done the

job. Didn't even have to do that, Kyle. I had everything covered. All of it.

Speaking of that... What?

Do you think they're going to get to do your job?

No.

Nobody can do my job. Yeah, I understand that clearly, but... I don't know.

Eli, he just... He's a freaking idiot. Is he? Yes.

We underestimated him?

You think so? Look where we are in that damn bitch you married. I

guess you're right about that.

Yeah.

And now we are in this situation with no way to reach help.

Wow. Except for your idiot plan. It's going to work. Yeah, well, good luck

that.

What do you think they're doing to him?

I don't know.

Torturing him would not be a good idea? Yeah, because he knows nothing.

At all?

Done as a box of rocks.

You should have been the president.

That was the plan.

Was it?

Yeah.

How?

I was gonna run in the next turn.

Against him? No.

No, Victoria's father was way tired of him.

Was he?

Yeah.

Yeah, he was gonna put me in and... Move him out.

Well, you don't think he's behind all this?

I don't know.

No, I don't even know if the man's still alive, Kyle. I don't. Donald.

You know something, you?

I don't. Yes, you do, Donald. You always have a plan.

Kyle, right now, I assure you, I am out of options.

Escape.

I don't even know, I don't even know the route.

Alan?

Yeah?

We need, we need to figure this out.

I know we do. I know. But until then, Kyle, I'm just going to sit here.

And I am going to rest, okay? I'm tired.

Yeah.

All right. Yeah, you do that.

What are you going to do?

I'm going to just watch your pretty face.

That's my boy.

We gotta get this money back.

Uh, why?

Because now they know we have it.

How do they know that?

I mean, it must be trackers on it or something.

Really?

Damn it, I should have thought about that. Like, we gotta get this back now.

Okay. Okay.

Damn.

What is it?

I don't know, but we need to get this money back. Come on. Answer it.

No, I'm not answering that.

Let's handle this money situation first.

Okay.

Are we sure?

Yes, Dale.

People are going to kill for this money. Like, come on, think.

Okay.

Well, Alan's going to be happy.

Why is that?

Because he wanted us out of here.

You know what?

I don't blame him.

Neither do I.

All right. Let's hurry this up.

All right.

Well, well.

Well, well what?

Doesn't it just feel great in here?

Yeah. No more drama.

Well... What?

They are still in the bunker. I know that.

Until they are out.

And all of this is out in the open. I know.

I just hope all of this is airtight.

Oh, it is.

Trust me.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Sola? Richard, trust me.

It's airtight.

She'll tell you, I have a lot of support.

It'll be fine.

Sola, we have to be careful.

It's fine.

Excuse me, if I'm not great, did this jump up in excitement yet?

That's fair. I understand.

Okay.

Now, how are you?

Why are you asking me that?

I just want to know how you're doing.

I'm fine.

Okay.

And I am not talking about Nancy.

Okay.

But you and Sam cannot leave her in jail.

She's out.

She is?

Yeah.

Really? Yes.

Sam had them release her.

Well, she didn't call me.

I don't know what to say about that.

Don't call her. It's fine.

Yeah, you do that.

Are you going to talk to someone, Richard?

About what?

This entire situation.

I am fine.

Holding all of this in is not good for you.

Sure, I already know everything you're about to say. Well, good. Do something,

because holding this in is only hurting you.

I am fine.

Richard, this is a lot to deal with. Just let it be, all right? I told you

fine. Okay.

Just leave it alone.

Okay.

You're so stubborn.

Are we going to have to clean the residence again?

Yes, we will.

When?

I'm thinking after the announcement.

Okay.

That'll do.

Can I just say one thing?

Am I allowed to not answer?

I just want to tell you that I'm here for you.

Thank you.

And that's it.

That's all.

Thank you.

Can I finish cleaning up? Yes.

There's still a lot of stuff that needs to be done in the kitchen.

I know how to do my job. Yeah, I know you know how to do one job, but do you

know how to do this one?

As I said, I'm here for you if you need me.

How's that?

I got to get it together. It's a get it together.

I'm not answering that.

Unknown number.

Okay.

Think it's Nancy?

Probably.

Hello? You have a collect call from an inmate. Press 1 to accept the call.

Hey.

Where are you?

Um, with a friend.

Are you with Dale?

Yeah, I am.

Can you two come get me?

You're out?

Yes. Put me on speakerphone.

Dale,

I need y 'all to come get me.

Okay.

I'm out of jail. I don't have any money to get a cab.

Okay, Miss Nancy.

Hurry up, please.

Be right there.

What are we going to do about the money?

We'll have to take it with us.

We're going to take it with us to go pick her up from jail?

Yep. Why not?

Okay, great.

We can just put it in the trunk, I guess.

Yeah, why not?

Yeah, I just need to get this back to some new place and fast.

Yeah, okay.

Dale?

Yes? You're not keeping any of it.

What are you talking about? Don't even try.

I'm not.

These people are looking for this money.

I know. I know.

Okay. And they will find you.

I know they will.

Okay. You better know that.

I will. Okay.

Sharon, I'm here to help you. We're just going to give them back the money and

they'll forget this ever happened.

So you go freshen up and I'll get your clothes and we'll go. Okay?

All right.

Okay.

Don't give me that damn attitude.

What do you want?

Just wanted to see if you'd like to have a drink tonight.

It's not what you wanted.

What are you talking about?

You wanted to know if I was still with Simone, don't you?

Uh, no, that's actually not what I wanted.

Yes, it is.

I just want to have a drink with a friend.

Oh. Are we friends now?

Really? Yeah, of course we're friends, Bobby. Don't be silly.

No, I don't.

Can you get to know her? You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying?

Wait, what's that?

You want me to do what?

I'm serious.

I know you are.

Just never thought I'd hear you say something like that.

Yeah, well, Eli wants to be sure there's nothing else we need to know about her.

And how is me flirting with her going to help that?

Because you're Bobby, baby, right? You know how the women do, boo?

So first you don't want me to sleep with any woman in this administration, and

now you're practically begging me to.

So I guess I'm just some two -bit whore or something, huh?

A three -bit whore, actually. And I'm your pimp, bitch. So don't talk back or

I'll slap a hoe. Got me? I got it.

And I thought about it.

And the answer is no.

Wait a minute.

Bobby doesn't want sex?

Bye, Max.

Hold on. Don't you want to at least see what she looks like? I know what she

looks like. And I'm not interested.

All right.

Bobby.

I don't really want to talk to Bobby right now. I want to talk to Bobby,

Bobby has a bad attitude.

Go to hell.

No, come on. Don't be that way.

I'm mad.

I'm trying to do you a favor, get you some sexy time.

Fine, I'll do it.

Really? You'll do it? No, bye.

It's a long story.

Okay.

Just take me home.

All right.

You need to get cleaned up.

We cleaned your house up.

Well, thank you.

Sure.

I need to stop by the funeral home. I need to handle some plans for Barry's

funeral. Okay.

Where is it?

It's on Jefferson and 8th.

Okay. I need to stop by home. I need to get him a soup.

Okay. I need to stop by the grocery store.

Okay, Ms. Fancy.

What?

What? Nothing.

Why do you keep saying okay?

No reason.

Look, I bought this car for you, and I bought it so you can take me where I

to go when I want to go there.

Okay, sorry.

You got to be real weird.

I'm not. We just had something to kind of do. Dale, what are you talking about?

No, we didn't. We had nothing to do. What do you have to do that's more

important than me burying my son?

He didn't mean it like that.

No, tell me. What do you have to do?

Look, Miss Nancy, I'm sorry. You know I love Barry, too.

You need to ask me.

Hey, I'm sorry.

I'm just going to shut up and drive.

Thank you.

Acting like that in a car outlaw. People can be so damn ungrateful.

I'm sorry.

You could have told the damn police what you thought.

I didn't want to be involved.

Good thing you're not, because they'd have locked you up, too.

Well, I'm glad they didn't.

Oh, people can be so selfish.

Drive, Bill.

Drive. Right, just drive.

Hey.

Hey, Sam.

What's going on?

Just running some intel.

What?

That Constance woman.

Constance? Mm -hmm.

You mean Constance Constance from the PR firm?

Yeah, that's the one.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, she's solid.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Okay.

Why are you running her name?

She wants to talk to the president and first lady.

Yes, she just did.

Hunter and Victoria.

I know Victoria. Why?

I don't know.

But Eli wants to cover all bases.

How do you feel about that, Sam?

I'm not sure.

Why not?

Why the hell does she want to talk to them?

Do you know her?

Yeah.

Why don't you ask her?

I think I will.

I'll call my mom.

Give her a call.

Constance, hey.

Sam, I'm over at the White House.

What do you want? I should hang this phone up on you.

Wait, wait, wait, now.

Why would you want to do that?

Because I just got an earful at the White House.

I don't believe all that you hear.

I believe the info I was told.

Okay.

I'm glad you called. You saved me a lot of time.

How's that?

I need to speak with you.

I agree.

You need to talk.

I need to speak with Priscilla, too.

How's that?

Look, I just heard a lot of shit at the White House. I need to make sure that

it's true.

Huh? Who are you talking to?

You know who I talk to.

Yes, and it's all true.

I need to meet with them.

I know you want to do that.

When can you make that happen, Sam?

I'll figure it out for you.

Just give me a little time.

When can you get started on this?

I have to talk to the president first.

Okay, make it happen.

Good morning.

Oh, Sam.

Who's the guy standing next to you?

Excuse me?

The one trying to vet me.

How do you know that?

Can I talk to him?

How the hell do you know someone else is here?

Let me talk to him.

Max.

Yeah? She wants to talk to you.

What? She has to talk to you.

It's Mac.

I've been vetted already.

I've got through top security clearance from three presidents.

So you can stop searching for me on your little computer.

Yes, ma 'am.

And look, if you want to know anything about me, you can ask one of the former

presidents.

Sure thing. Sure thing. I'll do that.

Okay. Thank you.

Sam, I'll see you in a bit.

Yes, ma 'am.

Uh, Sam?

Yeah?

How did you get here?

I'm not sure.

Okay.

I'm gonna go and talk to the president.

Yeah, we both should.

Okay. Let's go.

Hey, though.

You better get from behind that desk.

You haven't heard yet.

Heard what?

I'm the new chief of staff.

Man, get the hell out of here with that.

No, I'm serious, man.

Wow, are you serious?

Yeah.

The president made the call. What?

Oh, the acting president.

You ready for all that?

What do you mean?

I mean, this is, this is a lot.

I got it.

You sure?

I got it.

Okay, all right, well, congrats.

Thank you.

Wow. Hey, do you know how I can get into this computer here?

What do you mean?

Well, it's top secret, but I've really got to figure out how to get in here.

Hey, I don't think you need to get into that computer.

What do I say?

Think Sam can help me out?

Yeah.

Look, I'm the chief of staff now, all right? I got to know everything that's

going on.

All right, chief of staff.

I got you.

All right, well, have Sam come and see me, okay?

Yeah. Yeah.

What, man?

I mean, this is a shift.

Yeah, I know.

Just be careful.

Hey, Lazo.

This may all be a setup.

What do you mean?

If this all goes bad, they might blame you for it.

Blame me for what?

You're the chief of staff.

You make all the decisions.

So you don't think I got this job because I'm capable?

How would he know that?

He knows.

Think about it, Alan.

How would Eli know that if he's never around?

Dude, I don't know if Donald told him.

Hey, just be careful, okay?

Yeah, you don't need to tell me that.

I'm just trying to help.

You know, Zoe, sounds like you might be a little jealous.

I'm not. I'm not jealous.

No? No.

So why can't you be happy for me, man?

Okay, just a little bit. All right, you know what?

I'm sorry.

Yeah.

Have Sam come and see me.

Yeah, I will.

Thanks. Yeah.

Yeah. Ellen.

Yeah. Hi, it's Lily.

Hello, Mrs. Winthrop.

No, please, call me Lily.

Hello, Lily.

Can you come by for dinner this evening?

Dinner? Yeah, I want to show you something.

What kind of things?

Well, things... that can't be discussed over the phone.

Oh.

Uh, yeah, sure. Sure, I'll come by.

Okay.

What time are you done?

That depends, ma 'am.

Whenever the president is done with me.

Okay. Well, let me know.

Dinner will be ready at 6 .30.

Hey, can you give me some sort of hint here or something?

That's why I need to talk to you in person.

Yeah, well... What?

I don't know. I just think it's a little weird, no? You were just here. We were

talking. Now you want me to come there?

It's best that we discuss here.

Okay.

So I'll see you at 6 .30?

That depends, ma 'am, if the president is done with me.

He will be.

And how can you be so sure?

I'll see you at 6 .30.

I can feel your grip getting weaker.

It's not as it is.

No. You should just let me go, Dad.

It's not going to happen.

You should.

No.

Okay.

I'll wait.

Yeah, let's just do that.

Are you still waiting for someone to call?

Someone's gonna go. No, it's coming, Dad.

You can't believe it, Dad.

They can't just leave us down here forever.

Okay.

Victoria.

She's not dead yet.

Victoria.

She's lost a lot of blood, though.

Victoria.

She's, uh... She's bleeding a lot.

She's still breathing.

How did you tell?

Bye. Bye.

Hey, honey.

Hey.

Hey. Look at her struggling to stay alive.

She's pleading out so much, Dad.

Toria, I can't believe this.

What? Dad, are you going to be sick?

No, shut up.

You don't like blood?

No, shut up. I think you're getting a little squeamish, aren't you? What's

with you? Why are you like this? It feels like you're sweating a little bit.

Dad. Oh, that's a tight grip.

Yeah, I'm going to choke the life out of you.

Stop it. Okay.

Okay.

You think this is something?

Wait until you see what happens when the body starts to decompose. That's when

it gets really gnarly.

Nothing will happen. They're coming.

They're going to come. They're going to come in.

Vic, hold on, baby.

Yeah, you keep believing that.

What is wrong with you, Jason?

I just...

Understand how you don't see that this is wrong.

Dad, what is wrong with you?

Didn't you hang them?

Drop it.

Didn't you hang Mom in the opal all this time? I just did.

Garam, I knew they'd cut them down. Oh, so you talk a big game, but you don't

actually like to play the game? No.

I... Don't, Jason.

What do you like to stop it?

You need to make up your mind.

I don't make up anything.

Yeah, you do. You need to let him know where you stand.

No, I need to get you some help.

What? Do you want to... Do you want to get the body closer?

No. Do you want to get a little step? Leave her alone.

Come on. Dad. Hang in there, Victoria. Hang in there.

I don't want you to kill her.

So you want to do it?

No.

I can get the body closer to you, Dad.

Jason, stop it. You can get his dad in if you want.

I want you to shut up.

How can I do that? That would be way too much fun.

Please.

You two both try to kill me.

You both lied about it. I didn't. Yes, you did. No, I didn't, Jason. You lied

about Sam.

No, I didn't. Sam kept it from me. I explained that to you.

Dad, look at her now.

Dad, look.

I'm back.

That's it. She's dead.

She stopped breathing.

Oh, I got a hay spell.

Oh, I got a hay spell.

You can let me go now, Dad. She's dead. No, you can let me go now. Dad, no.

Dad, Jason.

Jason.

Jason, don't touch her.

Jason?

What? Jason, you stay away from her.

I'm going to take the knife out.

No. And show you how to dismember her.

No, Jason. No. No, stop it. Help!

Help! Somebody help!

I'm going to take out the knife.

No, Jason. No.

No.

Don't worry.

I'm going to start with the legs.

No, I'll pick up.

Next on, so you want to let me know what's going on over there? Look, I

know why your lover does the things that she does, okay?

The one thing I can't get out of my head is him in bed with that whore. So you

tell me how I'm going to do that.

You don't trust them. I don't trust any of you. How do things go at Concord?

You trust her. She's been cleared and vetted by four presidents.

They are calling in a crisis person.

Who? Definitely one of the best.

Son of a bitches are going to go live during crime time.
