All language subtitles for American Gothic 2016 S01E08 Kindred Spirits 1080p WEB-DL DD5 1 H 264-R2D2_track3_[eng]

Previously,
on American Gothic...
I need help. So do you,

and Jack needs to be
with stable people.
Go ahead.

(child screaming)

What the hell is
in our genes, Tess?

MODERATOR:
Jenny Windham, Channel 12.

I'm happy you changed your mind.

(gasps)

You got me all wobbly.

I never thought
that you would...
What?

Trust you?
No, mean something to me.

He left this little piece
of ivory at the crime scene.

Car takes off as soon
as the door shuts.

Someone else is driving.

The Silver Bells Killer
wasn't one person.

It was two.

GARRETT: Well, what if

I do want to tell
the truth?

What would you do?

It's just a lot of money.

GARRETT:
And you've confirmed

that the funds are available.

So, what's the problem?

I'd like to call
Mrs. Hawthorne directly.

$200,000?

Y-yes, and he said
to tell you that

he thinks it's
in the family's best interest

that you approve
this transaction.

Uh, is Christina here?

Uh, Dr. Morales is
taking some time off.

Are you the guy who...

Do you have a safe?

Pardon?

That's for the clinic.

You should probably put
that in the safe.

Thank you.

What did you do
with all that money?

I gave it away.

What? Why?

Uh, it felt like
the right thing to do.

I'm gonna take a stab

at this whole being
part of the family thing.

You forged a check for 200 grand

in the spirit
of family togetherness?

Well, there's some
atoning to do...

don't you think?

ALISON:
Jennifer Windham

strikes again.

A staffer just texted me.

JENNIFER:
Has the shadow of

Silver Bells claimed
yet another victim?

My inside source tells me

Mitchell Hawthorne's son, Cam,
has just entered rehab

for drug addiction. Coupled
with the new revelation...

Is she wearing
a turtleneck?

...of Cam's drug abuse,
it leaves

this reporter to wonder,
what did the Hawthornes know...

We're being harassed by
a woman in a turtleneck.

...about their father...
Okay, last week

it's "Hawthorne Concrete

in dire financial
straits," then it's

"Staffers jumping ship

at the Hawthorne estate,"
now this.

Where is this woman getting
all these stories?

Well, uh, this is
sensitive information.

It has to be someone
close to us.

Maybe it was Naomi.

She must feel bitter

about getting fired.

No, she wouldn't do that.

How do you know?

I know her.

Well, this woman

can't seem to get
enough of us, so...

what if we just give her
what she wants?

I know who you are.

Ah...

well, everyone does,
thanks to that tacky reporter.

Oh, no, no, I didn't mean that.

Um, you created
my favorite comic strip.

I love Roger's Cube.

Oh... really?

Yeah.

I'm April,

one of the nurses here.

Cam.
Hi.

Cute kid.

Oh, yeah, he is.

Um, that's my son, Jack,

and that's, uh,

Sophie, she's my...

uh...

Who needs labels?

So, can I have the inside scoop?

What's gonna happen
to Roger next?

Um...

I'm stuck.

Cartoonist's block.

Mm.

Feel like the drugs
helped you draw?

Sadly, yeah.

How long have you
been an addict?

Hmm... since I was a teenager.

I just found out
my grandma was, too,

so, it's in my genes,

along with...
who knows what else.

Well, I think

the great thing is that

we don't have to stay
what we are.

Being a frog aficionado,
you must know all about that.

I'm not really sure I know
what you're getting at,

but I want to.

(chuckles)

Okay, so,
West African frogs,

they flip their gender
whenever they want.

They don't let a fundamental
truth they've been dealt

dictate their whole lives.

If they want to change,
they just... do.

So, they just give
genetics the finger?

Yeah, masters of transformation.

West African frogs.

Jack's gonna love that.

(chuckles)

Good news is SBK drove
an '85 Cadillac Fleetwood.

Bad news is Mitchell Hawthorne
never owned one.

Neither did any
of his family

or any of his
known associates.

(sighs)
I got a list

of 164 people
who owned this car, 164

potential suspects.

(Linda sighs)

This is gonna
take months.

You know, it would only take
us hours if the lieutenant

would authorize additional
manpower for this lead.

You ever get the feeling
you're talking to a wall?

You see this?

Where the light bounces
off right there?

Where?

Car's got a dent.

Right rear panel.

A dent could
mean a crash.

A crash might mean
an accident report.

Accidents involving navy

Cadillac Fleetwoods
between 1985

and 1999.

If this works,

just remember
it was my idea.

(chuckles)

Here we go.

Accident report from 1991,

damage to the left
quarter panel.

Registered to
a James Canby of Saugus.

If we're right about this,

this could be the other half
of Silver Bells.

You never said we
were stopping anywhere

on the way to camp.

It won't take long,
like 20 minutes,

then straight to camp.

Okay.

I can make it.

Patience is a virtue.

That's from Psychomachia,
fifth century.

NURSE: The doctor will
see you now.

Okay.

Okay, I'll be right back.

Okay, don't be alarmed.

I can't find a heartbeat
right now,

but that happens
sometimes early on.

Does that mean
I'm not pregnant anymore?

Don't worry, we'll schedule
an ultrasound in a couple

of days to put your mind
at ease, okay?

Okay.

Will Brady be able
to make it to that one?

Yes, I hope so.

He's been really,
really busy lately.

But he does know
you're pregnant?

Yes, of course.

¶ ¶

JACK:
I'm most excited

about learning
which plants are edible

and which are poisonous.

Or medicinal.

Those, too.

MAN:
Welcome to Baindu Academy.

Do you know what
we do here, Jack?

Teach survival skills?
In a way.

We help young folks
like yourself

find better ways to handle
certain challenges.

Is this like therapy?

Because my mom said
there's nothing wrong with me.

And your mom

is right.

You're simply built

in a different way
than others.

So are some of our
best and brightest.

Politicians,
surgeons, CEOs...

Medical examiners?

Yeah.

After I talk to your
aunt here for awhile,

we'll take you on a tour
of the whole facility.

How's that sound?

Could you take Jack

outside for a bit?

I know this must be
such a difficult time,

but it's actually helpful to
know Jack's... family history.

You mean my father.

Mm-hmm.

Psychopathy
can be genetic.

It's actually called
the "warrior gene", MAO-A.

Monoamine oxidase A,
linked to violent,

or let's say aggressive,
behavior.

I see.

In order to devise
a treatment program,

it's useful to know
if a child's tendencies

are more nature

than nurture.

(doorbell buzzes)

ALISON:
I'm sure you can

understand how painful
your constant reports

are for this family.

Have I reported
something untrue?

Because if I have, I'll issue
a retraction immediately.

Oh, good.

Accuracy is extremely
important to me.

Surely an

intrepid journalist,
such as yourself,

wants the real story.

If you stop your reports,
that's what we'll give you.

An exclusive sit-down interview
with the two of us.

(clicks tongue)

Pass.

It's nothing personal.

There's just no

controlled, PR-approved version

of an interview that can trump

what I'm getting
from my inside source.

You're tormenting

a family that has been

deeply traumatized.

You want to talk
about traumatized families?

Your husband
killed six people.

He brought this scrutiny
on you, not me.

So, I'm gonna keep
doing my job,

and the more you harass me
for it, the less inclined

I'm gonna be to hold back.

And I have been holding back.

(sighs)

I hope your grandson's

doing well at his camp
for troubled children.

(scoffs)

I have to get out of here.

Uh, you just need

to get used to it is all.

These people are nuts.

I don't care
how mad you are,

you can't pee
on the other campers.

Just try and enjoy the nature.

Yeah, I am.

You're actually pretty close
to where I used to live.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.
It's at the southwest

tip of the lake.

You might even be able

to see it from your camp.

Sometimes when the sun sets,
you can

see it reflecting
off the green tarp

on the roof.

I have to go now, Uncle Garrett.

I'm Sadie.

Jack.

(sighs)

Well, that went nowhere.

All we did
was poke the bear.

It's only gonna get worse.

Tell you what--
I'll help you.

You will?

How?

We'll find her source.

(Cam grunts)

(laughs)

Just try.
Try me.

(both grunting)

(laughs)

(chuckles)

Oh!

The streak
continues.

Oh! We were just, uh,

This is April.
April, this is--

Sophie.

Hey, good to meet you.

I'll just leave
the table for you guys.

Go for his left edge.
It's always wide open.

It's not my game.

How you doing?

I'm all right.
And you?

Hey, I was thinking
of something I want to do

when I get out of here.

Move into that place
down the cape?

Write a graphic novel,
you know?

Give Roger a bigger world
to hop around in.

New people,

new places--
what do you think?

I think it's
a great idea.

Yeah, I can't take
total credit for it.

That counselor
suggest it?

The nurse.

Well, I-I got to say

it seems like you're
really getting

the support
you need in here.

I mean, three days in,
and you look well.

You know?

Clear. (chuckles)

(chuckles)

I like it.

Maybe I should
give it a whirl.

Getting clean.

Really?

Yeah.

I mean, you and Jack
are both off in rehab.

(chuckles)

I feel left out.

I thought you said that
it was a racket engineered...

Maybe I was wrong.

(sighs)

You know I'm always game
to try something new.

(chuckles)

I like it when we're
on the same page.

(chuckles)

(car doors close)

(pans clattering)

How the hell
did Mitchell Hawthorne

get mixed up with this guy?

Boston PD. Open up.

Open the door now.

(door creaks)

May I help you?

Detectives Ross
and Cutter.

Boston Police.

Uh, may we come in?

You should ask
my permission

before taking photos.

Right, ma'am. My apologies.

We're looking for

a James Canby.

That's my husband.

May we speak with him?

Only if you have a Ouija board.

(sighs)

When did he pass away?

Oh... going on 27 years.

Ma'am, did he own
a 1985 Cadillac Fleetwood?

Yes.

I kept it after he died,

but it was stolen
from this property...

oh... maybe 20 years ago.

But you didn't report that
as stolen.

Why is that?

I didn't see the point.

I wasn't exactly using it.

Mitchell and his accomplice
must have stolen the car.

This is a dead end.

Did you or your husband know
a Mitchell Hawthorne?

I don't recognize that name, no.

Really?

He's the Silver Bells Killer.

It's all over the news.

As it happens,
I don't read the papers.

Thank you for
your time, ma'am.

You know you've been at that
for three minutes.

Oh.

Have you ever
heard of MAO-A?

It's a gene.

People who inherit it

have a greater tendency
towards violence,

(scoffs)
aggressive behavior.

Don't worry.

You don't have it.

But what if I...

pass it on?

I'm pregnant.

What?

You are?

(chuckles)

Tess, that's...

That's great news, right?

It's great news.
Right?

I should be over
the moon, but I'm...

I'm scared.

Don't you ever wonder
what's in our DNA?

You'll be fine.

Please don't tell anyone
about this.

I haven't even told Brady.

He doesn't seem to
have time for me,

much less...

And I haven't heard
the heartbeat.

I have to go back to
the doctor to check.

So if I don't
hear it, I-I...

When's the appointment?

(sighs) 2:00 p.m.
on Thursday.

Okay.

You want some backup?

We've got to go somewhere.

Go where?

Anywhere.

This place bums me out.

My uncle Garrett has a cabin
nearby here.

He told me where it was
over the phone.

That sounds kinda lame.

He's super weird.

For a while,
the police suspected

he was a serial killer.

His girlfriend
even stabbed him.

You should have led with that.

So, how are your, um,
withdrawal symptoms?

(knocking on door)

What can I do for you?

Can I talk to you?

I think I need your help.

I always pictured
a stakeout

as more exciting.

I mean, this is boring.

Aren't you bored?

I lived alone in the
woods for 14 years,

so for me,
this is pretty exciting.

Right.

Come on, Jennifer.

Do something.

(sighs)

This is Shawmut Street,
right?

Mm-hmm. 1600 block.

Yeah. Sidewalks are cracked.

I'm going to get Public Works
down here to fix them.

Yeah, you're going
to make a great mayor.

You think so?

Oh, yeah.

You are, without a doubt,

the biggest pain in the ass

I've ever met.

(laughing)

Hey, we should go.
Try something else.

Really?
Yeah.

We might miss something.
No, we'll try...

ALISON:
Tom.

Tom is the source.

I, uh, got your text.

What's...
So that's where
Jennifer Windham's

getting her stories?

Pillow talk?

No.

Didn't we agree our
arrangement is over?

Didn't I fire Naomi?

We did.

And it is over.

So you didn't sleep
with Jennifer?

Ali.
(scoffs)

Honestly, Tom.

A reporter?

What were you thinking?

Why couldn't it be a nanny
or an intern

like a regular person?
I was pissed off

the day you decided to stay

in the campaign after all.

Revenge sex.

That's mature.
It was one time.

It didn't mean anything.
I saw you there today.

I was trying to find information

on where she was getting
her stories.
I see.

And did the kissing help?

I got involved
with the wrong person.

I thought it was a casual fling,

but... it put us at risk.

So what, we're even?

If this marriage has any chance
at all,

we need total transparency
from here on out.

You're absolutely right.

Okay.
Okay.

So start talking.

BRADY:
It's so weird.

Until this belt turned up,
the only worthwhile piece

of evidence the police
ever had was this

ivory chip, and that
never led anywhere.

You don't think
that's odd?
Mitchell and

his accomplice
were nearly perfect

at scrubbing the murder scenes.

Maybe.

What are you getting at?

Maybe the reason that
we're not finding any evidence

is because someone
doesn't want us to.

I mean, we're
hitting dead ends,

we're being
denied resources.

You think that...

what, there's a conspiracy
in the department?

If we don't
solve this case,

it's on us.
Why don't you take off

your tin foil hat and focus
on what's in front of you.

We need to get back
to Hawthorne.

He is the key to finding
the accomplice...

and we need to comb through
every detail of his life.

From here... to here.

What's this?

It's, uh, Mitchell Hawthorne's

funeral program.

You were there.

No, I was late.

I didn't get one.

That's Mitchell Hawthorne's
funeral program.

So, the old
blind lady lied.

She did know him.

So, why did you get
sent to camp?

I was collecting
fingernails.

I made a denture puppet.

Plus, my mom ran
over a raccoon,

and I dissected it.

Well, I cut off
a cat's tail.

A vet sewed it
back on, though.

Did the nerves regenerate?

That's what I wondered.

Look.

My uncle said his cabin had
a green tarp on its roof.

Your uncle lived here?

He doesn't like
people much.

Neither do I.

Except maybe you.

Whoa.

Here.

Put this on your head.

I'll shoot it off.

You first.

I haven't got
to shoot it yet.

So disappointing.

Let's go back to camp.

Your wife tried to get me fired.

Uh-oh, what happened?

She went to my

supervisor and said that I...

was trying to insert myself
in your professional life

with an eye
toward my own monetary gain.

That I suggested
you write a book

so I could have
a piece of it.

(laughs)

It doesn't really matter
what she said.

I mean, the boss has been
at this for decades.

She knows how to spot a... user
lying to get what they want.

I'm sorry

she did that.

I'll have a talk with her.

No, it's okay,
it's not really about her.

It's... about you.

I'm...

Tell me about your relationship
with heroin.

Hmm... okay.

I love it.

I hate it.

I crave it.

I resent the hold
that it has on me...

and I can resist
its grip for awhile,

and then I can't,
and when I finally give in

I'm glad that I did...

and then I hate myself.

I mean, it's the single
best thing in the world,

yet it screws up
huge parts of my life.

It demands all my attention.

Now tell me about

your relationship with Sophie.

It's destructive.

I crave her.

She has a hold on me.

Oh, I see the pattern here.

Go on.

Um... yeah, I mean...

you know, when we make up
after a breakup I'm elated,

and then... I hate myself.

Bring it home.

She's dynamic and incredible

and doesn't care how she screws
up huge parts of my life

and demands all of my attention.

Cam is to heroin

as Cam is to Sophie.

Yeah.

JENNIFER:
The tendency toward violent
and aggressive behavior

can be passed down.

It's called MAO-A,
or the psychopath gene.

I only talked to you
about this and neither of us

talked to her.

What is going on?

But what about those
among us who already

possess a predisposition
to psychopathy?

My source tells me that
Mitchell Hawthorne's

youngest daughter, Tessa,

is particularly concerned

about carrying on
the family line

because she's pregnant.

What?

Is this true?

Only Garrett and my doctor
knew about this.

Oh!
I haven't told Brady.

I have to reach him.

Oh, please,
don't go to voice mail.

Where were you

standing when you told me that?

What?

When you told me you
were pregnant, where...

You were standing here.
Yeah.

I'm so sorry

I didn't tell you, Mom.

It's all right.

Are you okay?

MADELINE:
It's all right.

It's all right.

What are you doing?

What is that?

The inside source.

She bugged us.

How did she get
in the house?

I got to go call Alison.

Well.

Here's a chance
to practice transparency.

Did you have sex
with Jennifer Windham...

in my mother's kitchen?

(sighs)

The pantry.

(scoffs)

She planted a bug...

while she was there.

That's how she's
getting her stories,

straight from our mouths.

Thanks to you.

¶ ¶

LINDA:
Mrs. Canby?

Mrs. Canby.

LINDA:
Somebody realized
we were closing in

and shut her up.

Damn.

I thought this was over.

(sighs)

Hey, Ross,
congrats on the good news.

Good news?

Your wife.

What about my wife?

(door opens and closes)

There you are.

I tried to reach you.

You're pregnant?

Tess.

The lieutenant knew
before I did.

It's in the news.

Because Jennifer Windham
bugged my mom's house.

What do you mean? How?

It doesn't matter.

It's over now.

Still, that means that you
told someone before you told me.

I tried to tell you,

Brady, but you've been busy.

Well, try harder, Tess.

Grab my attention!

Okay.

I don't know if I want it.

What?

Look at my father.

Look at Jack.

There is something
not right in our gene pool.

I mean, what sort

of environment would we...
Oh, my God.

...be bringing a child into?

A media circus,
a horrific family legacy,

an absentee father...

An absentee father?

You're never here, Brady!

You are never here with me.

You're obsessed with work!

Tess, it's just
this case.

SBK?!

How?!

It's over.

It's over,

isn't it?
(sighs)

We think that your dad

may have been working
with someone.

That's why I've been
so preoccupied.

It never ends.

(Brady sighs)

I don't know
how to do this.

Tess, the baby.

This is the good
part, you know?

This is what
we wanted.

I'm so sorry.

For sleeping with my husband
in my mother's house?

Or for illegally bugging us?

Both.

Both, good.

It's been really easy, lately,

to get caught up
in my own issues.

Then I remember...

...it could be worse.

It could be someone

who traffics in misery.

Who revels in the
misfortune of others.

Feeds it.

Profits from it.

Whatever hurdles I have

in my life,
I take solace from knowing

at least I'm not you.

Thank you for that.

Now, as for the bug...

if we decide to press charges,

you could face
five years in prison.

Please.
I'll keep you

posted on our plans.

I mean, it will really come down

to what you decide to report on.

I won't cover your family
anymore, I promise you.

Oh, yes.

You will.

"The resilient family,
heroically rising from the ashes

after unspeakable tragedy."

That kind of thing.

(laughing): I'm really
looking forward to it.

There's just one more
thing before I go.

Take off your shirt.

What?

Take... off...

your shirt.

Put it back on.

That's better.

Take care.

I'm going to say this
without anger,

without judgment.

Is this some technique
you learned here?

In a way.
Mm-hmm.

We're through.

You and me.

Over.

If this is about that thing
with that April girl...

No, no, no.
Listen to me.

This is...

the entire landscape.

This isn't me...

accusing you

or blaming you.

This is me
taking responsibility

for my part in everything,

and making a decision

that I will not reverse.

We always do this.

We even scream

and throw things,

and we always, always

wind up back together.

Because all
of the screaming

and throwing things

is part of our dysfunction.

It fuels us.

This is not what
I want anymore.

You are not what
I want anymore.

And we'll figure out
the Jack thing

when I'm out of here.

Cam.

$12,000 couch
ten feet away,

and you're sitting
on a wooden stair.

You're one to talk.

You tried to sleep in the shed

when you first got here.

Touché.

This is my spot

to think.

Hmm.

You know you're
going about

this whole baby thing
all wrong.

Really?
Mm-hmm.

Okay.

Look, maybe...

Maybe the kid will
have this MAO-A gene.

Maybe we all got it;
I don't know,

(sighs)
but listen to me.

It's also going to
have you as a mother.

Okay?

So now all of a sudden
you're talking about

someone who's
compassionate,

kind, nurturing.

And then you throw
Brady in the mix.

He's committed,
moral, upstanding.

So really, when
you break it down,

you two kind of
owe it to humanity

to have this baby.

(laughing)

No pressure.

Thank you.

Give it a second.

There we go.

(whooshing heartbeat)

Now that's
a healthy heartbeat.

(sighs)

Wave for the camera.

Right there?

Looks like a lima bean.

(laughing)

Oh. Hi, baby.

(laughing):
Hi.

(kissing)

I'll see you at 12 weeks.

(chuckles)

Thank you.

Oh.

(Tessa chuckles)
There it is.

I want to take a picture.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh.
What?

Jack got kicked out of camp.

I have to go pick him up.

What happened?
(scoffs)

Who knows? It's Jack.

Oh, right, okay.

Uh, well, I'll
drive you up, yeah?

No, you know what?

I'd rather you
stayed here and worked.

I want you done with this case.

I want it to be over.

Me, too.
So we can finally move on.

Me, you...

and the lima bean.

JENNIFER: Finally, some good
news for the Hawthornes.

Sources say Alison Hawthorne-
Price's mayoral campaign

has been reinvigorated
as supporters rally around her.

She now seems
poised for a comeback.

I also heard the Hawthornes
just donated $200,000

to an urgent care clinic

servicing low-income families.

It's a testament to one family's

commitment to community...
Finally.

A bright spot.

We should relish this.
(chuckles)

...Bill Conley
throughout the campaign...

Thank you.

Well, it was
a team effort, right?

You got rid of the turtleneck.

(laughs)
No,

we owe this to you.

I want to toast

my big brother.

Okay, you're going
straight to bed.

Brush your teeth first.

What happened?

He was found with a knife.

Did he hurt anyone?

No, thank God,

but the camp has a
