It's funny the things
that you remember from school.

One of my history teachers
told me

that after the Indians
killed Custer,

two squaws shoved needles
in his ears

so that he'd learn to listen
better in the afterlife.

You should've listened better.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Where is everyone?

"Everyone"?

You're supposed to call
the station, bring backup.

Trust me when I tell you, Gino,
they would not have come.

Do you have my gun?

Is this the place?

It's right down there.

All right.

Okay, what are you doing?

What are you talking about
what am I doing?

No, this is not
how it works, Gino.

Okay, I can handle this.
You stay here.

Excuse me, that fucker
tortured me.

I'm gonna be a part of this.

No, you're not.

I am coming with you.

And the longer you sit here
and think about it,

the more likely it is that Henry
is gonna get killed.

Jesus fucking Christ.

You want to be
fucking Rock Hudson?

You're not going in without
Susan Saint James.

Jesus.

What are our lives
gonna be like

when we're not
hunting serial killers?

Boring and pointless.

Eating pasta every night
and watching Hollywood Squares.

That sounds kind of perfect.

Oh, shit.

Okay, okay...

All the sudden,
I'm starting not to like this.

Oh, come on, Gino.

You're a reporter.

Treat it like
one of your stories.

Somehow, in journalism school,
I missed the course on

breaking into
the murderer's lair.

What's that?

Is he alive?

Yeah, he's still alive.

Jesus.

Fucking holy mother of God.

*AMERICAN HORROR STORY*
Season 11 Episode 07

Episode Title: "The Sentinel"
Aired on: November 09, 2022.

Damn it.

I can't believe
this is happening.

Got to get out of here.

Well, there's an idea.
I hadn't thought of that.

We should get out of here.

Patrick!

Don't. Don't do that.

It doesn't help.

Also...

He's too young for you.

What?

I'm just saying, in my opinion,

a gentleman of your élan
should be with someone

who's a more suitable,
sophisticated life partner.

I... I should've listened
to him more.

I shouldn't have been
so unforgiving.

God, this lament.

Oh, why couldn't he have taken
my other ear?

Fuck!

Fuck!

Fuck.

Thank God you're alive.

I didn't think
you were coming back.

I'm sorry about the tenderizer.

I just... I had to have something
that would work really fast.

I-I gauged my swing so I
wouldn't tenderize your brain.

And the gag, I-I don't like
hearing people scream in pain.

That's not why I do this.

I wanted to get you alone
so we could talk.

I just have to tell you...

I'm a fan.

I admire you so much.

Must be hell being
in that precinct.

What you go through on a daily
basis, I can only imagine.

And even though we're kind of
working at cross purposes,

I made a little change of plan.

I already gave him a heart.

But it's a heart from someone
of no consequence.

But a sentinel,

a beacon of hope
for the entire community,

deserves better...

Don't you think?

So, I'm going to give him
your heart.

A noble, beating heart.

I hope you realize
what an honor this is.

But please bear with me first.

I've got to correct a mistake.

What could you possibly
be laughing at?

That's a viscera chart.

Look.

That chart, it shows all
the parts they threw away.

That's what this room was for.

That's why he put us here,
what he thinks of us.

Fuck.

What are you doing?

Destroying my hand
is what I'm doing.

It's really gonna cut down
on my self-love.

Oh.

Jesus, you did it.
You fucking did it.

Shh, shh, shh.

Not so quick, Tinkerbell.

Oh, this other one is too tight.

- It's not gonna loosen up.
- God.

Then get something
to get us free.

Keys, on the wall.

And these tables don't move.

Try to find a-a small knife,
something to pick the lock.

Who am I? Houdini, suddenly?

Jesus.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

Hurry.

These tools aren't sharp enough
to cut through this metal cuff.

Oh, I don't want to do that.

Ooh, goddamn it,
I don't want to do that.

Wh-What are you talking about?

Do what?

Oh, fuck it.

I guess I deserve it.

No. No, no.

None of us deserve this.

I could've stopped this fucker
a long time ago.

Deep down, I knew it was him.

But I just buried my head
in the sand.

I just decided that it didn't
affect me,

and so...
I let people die.

My people.

Our people.

Well, this is where...

...I give something back.

Henry, what are you doing?

Henry?

Henry, what are you...?

No, Henry.

No.

No!

Hey.

Hey!

So, you're making a beacon
of hope for our community.

You really love
our community, huh?

It's all I care about.

Yeah?

How many of us
do you have to butcher

to make that... thing?

The Sentinel has to
come from us.

What would you have me use?
Straights?

Some sacrifices were necessary.

The deaths of our unfortunate
brothers proved something.

Yeah, what?

That no one cares about us.

That no one cares
what happens to us.

Especially the police.

I think I proved my point,
don't you?

You really think this ugly
lump of dead meat

is going to make a difference
to anybody?

He won't be dead.

You've heard stories
about people

who've fallen beneath the ice

and survived for 20 minutes
before being revived?

Right now he's being kept
fresh by embalming fluid,

but once your heart is in place,

I'll drain the fluid,
transfuse some of my blood,

an injection of adrenaline

and a hit of the paddles...

The blood will flow,
the heart will pump,

and he'll live again,

ready to take his place
among the world.

It's all very exciting.

Hey.

There we go.

Out with the old...

...and in with the new.

Get back, you sick fuck!

I said get the fuck back!

You should've killed me while
you had the chance, Whitely.

Right?

We're gonna make you pay

for what you did
to those people.

They died for the greater good.

I'm doing something glorious,

something that will
change the world.

How did shoving needles
under my fingernails

help you to change the world?

I wasn't torturing you,
I was testing you.

It's like that man
in the leather bar.

I just knew right away
he wasn't worthy.

And-and the parts that
I didn't use,

I left for the police to find.

To show how powerless they were,

and how little
they cared for us.

You're going to tell me
that you didn't get off

on all that just a little bit?

I have my demons.

I faced them that night

you hired me to cut up
that boy, Henry.

I confess, I enjoyed it.

And that's the part of me that
needs to get burned away.

No.

All of you needs to
be burned away.

The Sentinel is our salvation.

He will save us.

He will show the world our
suffering and will redeem us.

The only one who needs
redemption is you, buddy.

But you don't get it.

Officer Read,
how's it feel to be a gay cop?

I'm just as shocked as you are.

But what can you
expect from a...

"department that treats gays

"like they don't exist,

or worse, that they
shouldn't exist."

You know, you surprise me,
Mulcahey.

Because I'm reading a fag rag?

No. I didn't
know that you could read.

I would offer to
clear out my desk,

but I'm pretty sure
that's painted shut.

I don't need your badge,
Detective Read.

Give it to someone who does.
Would you hang on a second?

Have a seat, would you?

There's nothing left to say.

Oh, yeah, that-that's
the truth right there.

You pretty much said it all.

Made us sound like
a lost division of the SS.

You know, believe it or not,
I get where that comes from.

Some of these guys, they, uh...

Well, I don't need to tell you.

Just wish you hadn't
gone to the press.

You know?

Doesn't mean you're
getting fired.

What makes you think
I'm not quitting?

Well, I hope you'll stick around
and help us fix this mess.

Relations with your,
uh, community.

You know, you can head up
a sort of outreach.

You must be getting a lot of
heat from upstairs, huh?

Look, whether I am or not,
I'm sincere about this.

"Sincere."

Why don't we start with
reopening every single case

you swept under the rug because
one of the victims was gay, huh?

And I'm just thinking off
the top of my head here.

How about that poor teenage boy

who was beat half to death
in the Bronx?

Or the couple who were
kissing in public

and got pelted with bricks
in the street?

Or the assholes who turned up
with baseball bats

to a private party
and smashed the place up?

And where are we, huh?

Where the fuck are we with the
gay bar fire investigation?

No?

Not that sincere?

Fuck you.

Fuck this whole department.

Detective Read.

Nah, it's not "Detective"
anymore.

No, sir.

It's just Read now.

Hey. Sorry about the wait.

Had a little issue upstairs.

So, uh, like I said, this is...

This is going to be
extremely difficult.

You sure you want to do this?

I'm ready.

All right.

Let's go.

There is, uh,
considerable damage

to the postmortem
of these bodies,

so I'm really not
expecting you to identify

any of your friend's remains.

But, uh,
we got to take a shot.

What did he do to them?

He was taking them apart

and using the pieces to
make his own creation.

Targeted intellectual guys
for the organs,

and beautiful men for
the physical features.

Nothing about this
is gonna be easy.

- You ready?
- Yeah.

You, uh, you know,
you're very good to do this.

Would you believe
we've only ever had one family

come forward to
identify remains?

Guess they preferred their sons
dead than gay, huh?

You just described it
to me, but...

I still can't believe it.

How could...?

How could anybody
do something like this?

What the fuck is wrong
with people in this city?

Take your time.

I don't see anything
of Sully here.

If he's here,

or anywhere, I...

I can't tell.

You tried.

That's all we can do.

How many men are a part
of this thing?

We think maybe seven bodies.

Well, there are
a lot more murders

and missing guys than that.

Where are they?

Could it be fatal?

It's... hard to say.
Whatever this is,

it's now affecting
our platelets and T cells.

And the others?
Are-are you tracking them?

Half of my patients with these
same symptoms have disappeared.

What?

I couldn't legally disclose
this before, but now

that we know that Sully wasn't
a victim of the Mai Tai Killer,

I feel like I have to tell you.

- Sully was one of my first patients.
- What the fuck, Hannah?

When I first heard he went missing,
I assumed he went home

to be with his family because
he was sick and...

Sully would've told me that.

He...

He disappeared in
the park that night.

I'm just as confused
as you are, Adam.

No.

This doesn't make sense.

How could this illness
be related

to all of these disappearances?

I don't know.

And I don't have
the resources to find out.

I'm sorry. I wish I did.

Oh, my God.

Have you tried contacting
any bigger labs or companies

- that could help?
- 47 unanswered phone calls.

Even my university colleagues
won't touch this.

Without funding,
no one gives a shit.

I wish I were surprised.

And the worst part is
it's not just one illness.

What Adam and I have is viral,

but what KK has
is a bacterial infection,

similar to the deer on
Fire Island.

It's the ticks. I told you,
it's biological warfare.

Probably the CIA.

We should write an article
about this.

Put it in the Pride issue,
start building interest now.

Absolutely.

There's still too much
research that needs to be done.

Insect bites, rashes,
fevers, disappearances.

It's all just too
convoluted right now.

We'll only print the facts.

Let the readers make up
their own minds.

We can't trust the public

to come to a rational conclusion
on their own.

Half-baked science always
leads to conspiracy theories.

Sully didn't go home
to his parents. I checked.

I hate to say it, but I
think that there could be

more victims of
the Mai Thai Killer

that just haven't been
found yet.

Or there's another
killer out there.

Do you hear yourself?

There's a leather daddy who's
stalking people

with blood disorders?

I mean, this is crazy.

We caught the killer.

It's over.

I'm not crazy, okay?

I know what I saw.

And there is space, here,

for an article about this,

even if it's just
a little blurb.

Adam.

Before all of this took over
our lives,

Patrick and I put down a deposit
on a Fire Island rental

and it comes up this weekend.

I refuse to let it go to waste.

So why don't you join us?

Take a break from
all of this insanity.

We're trying to get on
with our lives

and-and I think that
you should, too.

I can't.

Theo and Hannah are helping me
reignite the search for Sully.

I-I can't just... leave.

Bring them with you.
It's a big house.

I think the ocean air
will do us all good.

- Hey.
- Hey.

You okay?

- Uh-huh.
- Good, good.

I'm exhausted. I think
the beach is gonna do us both good.

Right.

We are not gonna
allow this to destroy us.

- It's destroyed us already, Gino.
- No.

- It's broken.
- We just got to get somewhere away from these four walls.

- Barbara died.
- I understand.

She's a good person.
It's my fault.

It's... Patrick,
it's not your fault.

- It is my fault.
- It's not.

She knows it.
I just saw her, Gino.

You saw who?

I saw Barbara.

I saw Barbara on
the street, just...

What?

Oh, my God, I'm going out
of my fucking mind.

Hey. Hey. Hey.

I'm going out
of my fucking mind, Gino.

Hey, no, no, no. Shh.
Come on, breathe. You're safe.

It's okay. It's okay.

- We're gonna be okay.
- It's not okay. It's not okay,

Gino, we're not gonna be okay.

Look at our fucking lives.

Look at our lives.

Every day,

something terrible
is gonna happen.

You're safe, you're safe.

I'm not.

And we're not safe, Gino.

You're safe.

Hi. You've reached
Adam and Sully.

Leave a message.

Adam, it's me.

Uh, I'm not gonna be able
to make it to Fire Island.

The way I'm feeling right now,

I'm just too goddamn pregnant
to handle that ferry ride.

I'm really sorry. Rain check?

Hey, Mom. It's Hannah.

I know we haven't talked
in a while,

but I just... really needed
to hear your voice.

There's this disease
going around

and... I'm afraid that I have it.

It's my immune system.

My white blood cell count
is really low.

I don't need to get
into the details, but...

I'm just really scared, Mama.

I was wondering if
it'd be okay if I came

and stayed with you
for a little while.

Okay.

Okay.

I love you.

I'll see you soon.

Pride.

What does the word mean
in the face of so much death?

Pride is a construct,

something we summon
to unite us

when we feel tired and weak.

Pride takes work,
but death comes easily.

Death is an old friend,

someone every gay person
has known their whole lives.

As we walk the streets,
in our jobs, and in our homes,

we have seen how
quickly the world's hatred

towards us can
escalate to violence.

In a glance or in a kiss,

death is always lurking
around the corner.

Some of us drown out death's
low roar with sex,

some drown it out with
drugs or food or work.

But no matter our vices, when
that low roar grows to a rattle,

and when that rattle ruptures,

we can no longer ignore
the seismic terror

of our daily dance with death.

Something is coming,

something evil on the horizon.

Yes, the Mai
Thai Killer was a sick man.

But was there some
ounce of virtue in his impulse

to build a Sentinel,

to protect the very
people he hurt?

Was this his Pride?

For those of us
on the outskirts...

The unseen, the abused,
the demeaned,

and the impoverished...

The terror of our mortality

leads us to destruction.

We lash out,

we hurt ourselves,
and those who love us.

We lie, we steal,

and if we are driven to it,
we kill.

Who am I to judge those who
have gone down this path?

Aren't their impulses
the same as mine?

Isn't their rage justified?

Did they simply choose death

because it was closer
than Pride could ever be?

The hypocrisy is untenable.

Homosexuals must be treated
like criminals.

What if we
found value in our trauma?

Listened to it,
rather than ignored it?

Could the force of
our collective anger

actually become our savior?

As I laid bound to the table
of the killer,

looking death in the eye,
I didn't see evil.

I saw suffering created
by the world who gave a man

no other choice
but to destroy.

Imagine if we enlisted our
gay rage as our Sentinel.

If, rather than sinking
into the abyss of our despair,

or painting over
our wounds with Pride,

we used anger as our compass.

Where would it lead us?

What could it do for us?

I saw a man who
become a monster

because it's who the world
expected him to be.

It's time we acknowledge
that this monster

has been implanted in all of us.

And the only way to release him

is to release society's
expectations

of who and what we should be.

This is our freedom.

This is our way out.

This is our Pride.

This is our Sentinel.
