IT: Welcome to Derry 1x6

1. Shh.

2. I don't want to go.

3. Oh, there's nothing to be afraid of down there.

4. Come on.

5. Good girl.

6. What's your name, dear?

7. Mabel.

8. So, Mabel...

9. this is where the clown told you to meet him?

10. You can tell me.

11. It's okay.

12. Sweetheart, it's okay. It's just a balloon.

13. Duck and cover, kiddos.

14. What you don't understand is,

15. I could have killed you down there.

16. But instead, I had to send my best friend home

17. in a box.

18. Because you disobeyed me.

19. Come on, Dad. That's not fair.

20. You know what killed Uncle Pauly.

21. What I know is I have a son that has no goddamn sense.

22. - Okay, Leroy. - Charlotte, I'm sorry.

23. You have to stay out of this. You were not there.

24. This thing could change its shape.

25. Like, it could see inside my head.

26. - How is that possible, Lee? - I don't know.

27. But I do know these weren't mind games.

28. This was real. This was solid.

29. - It killed trained soldiers. - Dad, I know what it can do.

30. It's come after us a bunch of times,

31. and it's not gonna stop.

32. Well, it can't touch you out here. Outside of Derry.

33. So, from now on, you don't leave your room

34. without my permission.

35. Do you understand?

36. No.

37. Baby, mind your daddy now.

38. No! You always told me

39. that a man should never hide from trouble.

40. That what makes life count are the friends you make

41. and the risks you take. Well, I've got friends now, Dad.

42. I've got friends and they need me,

43. and I'm gonna be there for them, just like you would.

44. You are not me.

45. Yeah, I know that. I know I'm not you

46. 'cause I would never let my friends die.

47. Leroy!

48. - I'm sorry, son. - It's gotten to you too.

49. It's gotten to your head.

50. No.

51. - Come here, son. - Get away from me!

52. What is that?

53. It was under the water

54. when the clown was coming after me.

55. It started to glow, and...

56. and he looked at it almost like...

57. like he was afraid.

58. Afraid? Really?

59. Yeah.

60. Then he backed away and just...

61. disappeared.

62. Can I see?

63. I'll hold it.

64. Fine.

65. They look like hieroglyphs.

66. I thought those were Egyptian.

67. All ancient civilizations have hieroglyphs.

68. It's a Greek word.

69. Exactly.

70. Whatever it is, if this thing is scared of it,

71. maybe we can use it.

72. We go back down there, all of us together,

73. and we kill it.

74. You really expect us to listen to you?

75. You're the one who dragged us down there

76. in the first damn place.

77. We almost died.

78. And now you want us to go back?

79. You are crazy.

80. What did you call me?

81. Lilly?

82. - Just give it— - Don't touch it!

83. You think I wanted this?

84. If I could go back, I'd never have gone to your house

85. in the first place.

86. You were up in the booth. You didn't see.

87. I was the only one who made it out of that theater.

88. And for Matty to come back and tell us

89. there was a chance that Phil was still alive?

90. What was I supposed to do?

91. If you hadn't come to my house that day,

92. they probably would still be alive.

93. And the cops wouldn't be hunting my daddy

94. like some kind of animal.

95. All I wanted was to help you.

96. A lot of good it did. I wish I never tried.

97. - Guys— - And I wish I'd never met you, Lilly Bainbridge!

98. Can't you see?

99. This is what it wants! To turn us against each other.

100. They should have never let you out of Juniper Hill!

101. I'll go make sure she's okay.

102. - She didn't mean that. - Don't.

103. Just... Just leave me alone.

104. Hallorann?

105. Where you been?

106. Can't tell you.

107. Okay. Place looks good, huh?

108. Yeah, we're gonna get something going later tomorrow night,

109. bring some ladies, some music,

110. break this place in.

111. Yeah, it's gonna be a real good time.

112. Shit.

113. You need this?

114. More than you know.

115. You good?

116. Yeah.

117. Fuckin' ice box leakin'. Need to replace that.

118. Floorboard is rottin'.

119. I'm gonna polish off this bottle of Pap,

120. catch myself a couple Z's in the back.

121. Y— You can't.

122. We got something we gotta talk about.

123. Tell me.

124. Can you believe her? It's like she won't stop

125. until one of us is dead.

126. We barely made it out of those tunnels alive,

127. and now she's trying to serve us up to that thing again?

128. She must have snapped her cap!

129. You agree with me, right?

130. Yeah. Definitely.

131. You think I went too far?

132. I mean...

133. Maybe I did, but...

134. I'm just tired.

135. I'm tired of being scared.

136. I know.

137. Me too.

138. William Dubois Hanlon?

139. Get your disobedient behind in this car right now.

140. Dubois?

141. You too, little miss.

142. Me? Why?

143. Y'all think y'all grown?

144. Mm-hmm.

145. Oh shit.

146. Are you— Is that who the fuck I think that is?

147. Yeah, but—

148. They got posters of the man all over town, Reggie.

149. They got— got rewards for this man and everything.

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

151. - Please, I— I— Please. - No, no, no. No. No!

152. Mrs. Hanlon asked if we could hide him here.

153. What was I supposed to say?

154. I think that you are inviting a whole lot of hurt up in here.

155. She says she's got a plan to get him out of town.

156. Just needs a couple days to get it all straight.

157. Like, what do you expect me to do?

158. Turn him over to some lynch mob?

159. Look, I'll— I'll stay out of sight.

160. I'll stay out of sight. I— I— I promise, sir.

161. I won't leave this room. Please.

162. Please.

163. I don't need this shit right now.

164. Where is he? Daddy?

165. - Ronnie? - Daddy!

166. Ronnie! Ronnie!

167. - Daddy! - Oh God! Oh God!

168. Oh, baby.

169. Oh, I missed you! Let me look at you.

170. - You okay? Let me see you. - I missed you.

171. - I missed you so much. - I missed you too.

172. We've been looking for you everywhere.

173. It's all right, baby. No one knows about this place.

174. Just a few colored airmen from the base.

175. I'm so sorry.

176. - I'm sorry I left you. - Hey.

177. Thank you for doing this.

178. Leave me out of this.

179. I'm so sorry.

180. How'd they find you?

181. A friend of mine reached out to— to Mrs. Hanlon for me.

182. - Who? - It's a long story, baby.

183. What's important is that we're together

184. and we're gonna stay together.

185. Ain't no one gonna keep us apart ever again.

186. Hmm? Ever again, okay?

187. Yeah, let 'em try. Okay?

188. Oh, I missed you.

189. I missed you.

190. You wanna talk about what happened this morning?

191. I'm here for you. I got you.

192. My baby girl.

193. It's gonna be all right.

194. You're safe. You're safe, okay?

195. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay, baby.

196. Hey.

197. Hey.

198. You scared me.

199. Sorry.

200. I didn't think anybody would be here.

201. Um, what are you doing here?

202. Still haven't landed one on Main Street.

203. - Want to try? - I have to redress my eye.

204. - The tape is hard to take off. - Want some help?

205. I was a Webelo for a couple years.

206. I know the trick to taking a bandage off

207. without it hurting.

208. It's really gross.

209. Ew, what are you doing?

210. What? If you wet it a little, it'll slide right off.

211. - Not with your spit. - It's fine.

212. Saliva actually has antiseptic properties.

213. - I don't think that's true. - Who knows?

214. Science is constantly changing. That's what Will says.

215. You should hear him talk about it.

216. See? Easy...

217. peasy.

218. It's awful, isn't it?

219. No, it's the coolest thing I've ever seen.

220. Whoa.

221. I can handle it from here. Thanks.

222. That was crazy before, huh?

223. Lilly and Ronnie really went at each other.

224. Yeah.

225. Yeah, I just...

226. I just get a bad feeling. Like...

227. this thing's not done with us.

228. And if we have to face it alone, then...

229. I know.

230. What if Lilly's right?

231. About that thing she found?

232. What if it really is the only way we can stop this?

233. Don't we have a better chance if we're together?

234. I'm not the one who needs convincing.

235. And Ronnie seems stubborn.

236. I got it.

237. Here goes nothing.

238. Oh shit.

239. Hallorann, are you in there?

240. Major.

241. Where you been?

242. You need a drink?

243. Drink. Drink, drink, drink.

244. New orders from Shaw.

245. Dead soldiers or not, he's still on the hunt for those pillars.

246. Ah, makes sense.

247. But if I was Shaw, I would stop that shit before he f—

248. I'll fuckin' look at it later.

249. Dick, what happened down there?

250. I think we pissed it off.

251. I meant you.

252. You stayed in those tunnels for hours.

253. What happened?

254. This thing I got,

255. when I was little, let me see things.

256. Okay.

257. What kind of things?

258. Dead ones.

259. My grandma had some of what I got.

260. Not as strong, but she had some, so...

261. she realized I wasn't sleeping, and why,

262. and she taught me this trick. Told me...

263. Said, "Dick, think of a great big ol' box.

264. And imagine putting all the things

265. you don't want to see no more inside the box.

266. Closing it up."

267. So I did.

268. I took all them dead things,

269. threw them in that box in my mind,

270. and I shoved that goddamn lid on tight.

271. I was nine.

272. I ain't seen them since.

273. 'Til yesterday...

274. when that goddamn thing...

275. It forced itself into my head, ripped that lid off,

276. and laughed as it all came spillin' out.

277. Are they here now?

278. Can you see them?

279. My grandma, she used to tell me that

280. the dead, they— they always wander back

281. to where they died.

282. Look like one or two of 'em met their maker right here.

283. Do they talk to you?

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

285. Long as I don't regard them, they don't even notice I'm here.

286. But, man, if I open my mouth...

287. the voices, they don't ever stop.

288. And they know things, things we don't.

289. Things the living aren't meant to know.

290. Like what?

291. Like how to find what we're looking for?

292. Did you hear a word I just said?

293. Look.

294. I just buried my wingman.

295. Okay, my best friend. And I almost killed my own son.

296. So, no disrespect,

297. but we both got skin in the game.

298. And I know it's asking a lot, but at the end of the day,

299. you're an airman first class of the United States military.

300. When shit gets real, it's the job.

301. Mm.

302. If this helps complete the mission,

303. just do it this one time,

304. and then you can— you can

305. put it all back away, just like it was before.

306. Okay, so what— what happens

307. if I can't shove it all away like before?

308. Hmm? You don't know. You don't know, do you?

309. Or you don't give a fuck.

310. Either way, all this shit is about what you want.

311. It's about doing what's right.

312. Oh, get the fuck out of here with that.

313. You know what? Shaw's calling,

314. needs his boot shined, you fuckin' bootlicker.

315. Man, you don't talk to me like that.

316. I'm your superior officer.

317. I don't give a fuck!

318. Get out!

319. Get out!

320. Now you think about whether you want to do your sworn duty,

321. or get dragged out of here in handcuffs.

322. Get some rest.

323. Charlotte.

324. Char?

325. What's going on? Where's Will?

326. Probably with his friends,

327. who are about the only people he can trust right now.

328. And you know what? I don't blame him.

329. Okay, hold on a minute.

330. No, you hold on a minute.

331. You put hands on our boy.

332. I know.

333. And I'm sorry, Char, but you know that—

334. that wasn't me.

335. It wasn't. My head was just...

336. It was all messed up

337. because of what happened down in that sewer.

338. And wh— what happened to Pauly.

339. I'm sorry.

340. I'm sorry, Char.

341. I'm just...

342. trying to protect this goddamn country.

343. This country?

344. What?

345. You put us in a cage with a goddamn monster!

346. I didn't know.

347. I didn't know that.

348. Yeah, well, there's a lot you don't know.

349. Wait, wait, wait, wait.

350. What the hell is that supposed to mean?

351. Hank Grogan's at the Black Spot.

352. How'd he wind up there, Charlotte?

353. I put him there.

354. You—

355. Mm-hmm.

356. Yell, scream, stomp,

357. do whatever it is you need to do,

358. won't make a lick of difference.

359. Tomorrow morning, I'm getting him

360. out of town. Safe.

361. And then Will and I are headed back to Shreveport

362. with or without you.

363. I have a mission to finish, Charlotte.

364. I can't just walk away from that.

365. Well, then I guess you'll join us

366. when you can find the time to make things right.

367. Can't you see that's what I'm trying to do here?

368. Not with me.

369. With your son.

370. You convinced everyone

371. to come and see me.

372. Because you're such a good friend.

373. But such a bad daughter!

374. If you all take out your textbooks and turn to page 61.

375. Okay, so Sally has 2X the number of apples.

376. Who's gonna help you now, crazy?

377. You'll die if you try!

378. Stay away!

379. Lilly Bainbridge!

380. Sit back down this very instant!

381. Where do you think you're going, young lady?

382. Her dad? Are you serious?

383. That's why she's not here.

384. Will said his mom took 'em there yesterday,

385. and Ronnie hasn't left his side since.

386. He said he'll take us there later,

387. but we can't tell anyone.

388. You think we can change her mind?

389. I don't know. We gotta try.

390. I could barely sleep last night.

391. When I brushed my teeth, I thought I heard voices

392. - in the pipes. - Voices in the pipes?

393. You too?

394. I wouldn't even go in there to pee.

395. So what, you just held it in?

396. Are you kidding?

397. I couldn't even do that if I tried.

398. I just put it—

399. Never mind. Doesn't matter.

400. Oh, come on. Please. You're the only person

401. I've shown my oozing eye scab to.

402. Fine.

403. I put a jar next to my bed, and I emptied it this morning.

404. Huh.

405. In medieval times, they called it a chamber pot.

406. Everyone peed in them, even knights.

407. Knights? Cool.

408. They also fought in duels and rescued fair maidens.

409. Oh, hey, I got you something.

410. Here it is.

411. Dug it out of my attic.

412. Supposedly, it belonged to a corsair

413. my ancestors knew back in Cuba.

414. I figured, I don't know, you might like it.

415. I love it.

416. I've always wanted to be a pirate.

417. Look at us. A pirate and a knight.

418. Guess we got next Halloween all figured out, huh?

419. It's a date.

420. - Oh. - No, I know.

421. - I didn't mean to say— - I didn't— I didn't think you meant—

422. Sorry.

423. Hey, Margie. If I didn't know any better,

424. I'd think you were avoiding us.

425. Oh. Hi, Patty.

426. Everyone's still talking about how you escaped

427. the jaws of death.

428. At least Loony Lilly didn't stab both your eyes out.

429. That's not what happened.

430. Well, why don't you tell us about it over lunch?

431. At our table.

432. Unless you'd rather stay here

433. with Ricky Ricardo and the other freaks.

434. Patty?

435. Margaret?

436. I am a freak.

437. Stop!

438. Rhon? Oh my God, Rhonda. Just breathe! Oh my God!

439. How much further?

440. Almost there, I think.

441. Will! Wait up!

442. This is it.

443. Now we gotta convince Ronnie we have to stick together

444. to fight this thing.

445. Um, quick question. What if she says no?

446. Say a prayer she doesn't.

447. I don't know, man.

448. Last time I said a prayer, my dead tío almost killed us.

449. Okay, well, um... no prayers then.

450. Oh. Oh, Lord.

451. Wow. What is this place?

452. It's like a clubhouse for some of the airmen from the base.

453. So kind of like the Standpipe, but for grownups.

454. Who is it?

455. It's Will.

456. Rich. Come on.

457. Hello?

458. Mrs. Kersh?

459. Lilly?

460. What are you doing up here?

461. Uh, the— the door was open.

462. Oh, it's— it's fine. I just wasn't expecting anybody.

463. Are you okay?

464. I'm all right. It's just...

465. Well, we went down to the tunnels and—

466. Oh, Lilly.

467. - I begged you not to go. - We didn't have a choice.

468. And Matty...

469. Matty, he...

470. Oh, darling.

471. Oh. It's all right.

472. It's okay. Whatever it is, it's all going to be okay.

473. I just— I didn't know who else to go to.

474. You're in the right place. All right?

475. It's okay.

476. It's okay.

477. There, there.

478. Oh, Lilly, you're safe here with me.

479. Lilly, what's the matter?

480. Have you seen him?

481. You saw him.

482. Oh, my word.

483. You did it.

484. Oh, sweetheart, you did it.

485. You did it.

486. Oh, Lilly.

487. Of course, it was you.

488. Oh, this is...

489. I know you don't understand,

490. but you brought him back.

491. It's my old costume.

492. You followed us?

493. Yes. Yes.

494. I thought he might appear that night in the cemetery.

495. You kids were on your bikes,

496. and I was worried I might miss him

497. if he— if he showed himself to you.

498. So— So that was you.

499. But— But why?

500. My father was a carnival performer.

501. He called himself "Pennywise the Dancing Clown."

502. I adored him.

503. And he was taken from me.

504. The carnival moved on, but I stayed in Derry.

505. I suppose you could say I felt... drawn.

506. Your parents are very concerned.

507. They don't believe me...

508. about Pennywise.

509. He says he wants to show me his carnival.

510. He's here in the pipes.

511. He tells me to come down to the basement at night.

512. There are no such things as clowns in pipes.

513. Clowns live at the circus.

514. Good girl.

515. It's okay, sweetheart. It's okay. It's just a balloon.

516. Hello, Mabel.

517. You finally came.

518. And you brought a friend.

519. Papa?

520. Don't look back!

521. There, Mabel!

522. - Help! - I'm trying! It's stuck!

523. Please, open the door!

524. Open the door!

525. Oh God! No!

526. Leave her alone! Oh no, please! Please!

527. Mabel—

528. No!

529. Pumpkin, it's me, Papa.

530. Oh, how I've missed you all these years.

531. No, no, don't be scared.

532. I can explain everything.

533. Just open the door and let me in.

534. That's right.

535. Open it.

536. Let me in.

537. Everything's gonna be all right.

538. It was him.

539. Different, perhaps changed

540. by whatever he'd been through, or wherever he'd been.

541. Oh, but it was him all the same.

542. A daughter knows.

543. And...

544. suddenly I...

545. oh, I felt whole again...

546. for the first time since that awful day.

547. But every time that he would return,

548. this shadow would steal my father away.

549. I... I had to find a way to free him.

550. So I did what I had to to see him again.

551. If he could just see me once more as his Periwinkle,

552. remind him of the love that we shared,

553. I know that he'll be able to break free.

554. Please don't hurt me.

555. Hurt you?

556. I would never let anything hurt you.

557. And my friends?

558. Oh, Lilly.

559. You above all people should understand.

560. If you could see your father again, hold him,

561. be his little girl...

562. wouldn't you do everything you could

563. to make that happen?

564. My father is dead.

565. Oh, you know what they say about Derry, dear.

566. No one who dies here ever really dies.

567. Come with me tonight.

568. Let me show you.

569. Lilly!

570. If we're gonna go after this thing,

571. it needs to be all of us.

572. Uh-uh. I'm not going anywhere until I know my dad is safe.

573. Hey, your dad, he's gonna be fine.

574. Nobody knows that he's here.

575. I'm not getting separated again.

576. You guys do what you want. I'm staying.

577. - Well, she's stubborn. - I told you.

578. Yeah, well...

579. so am I.

580. Will—

581. All right, now. Here we go.

582. One, two. One, two, three, four.

583. Maybe we should wait outside.

584. Nah, I think... I think here's good.

585. If this thing Lilly found in the sewers

586. really scares it like she said,

587. it's a chance it can stop it. Like, for good.

588. But we think we'd have a better chance

589. if we could all be together until—

590. Enough.

591. You really expect my dad to let me go back down there?

592. No, you're not going anywhere,

593. but I get it.

594. He's worried about you.

595. Right?

596. Well, yes, sir. But that's— that's not—

597. You really care about my daughter, don't you?

598. Uh... Yes, sir.

599. We have that in common. That's why I can't let her go.

600. So, what, the two of you

601. been spending a lot of time together then?

602. - Daddy. - Hush up, now.

603. You have a new gentleman friend.

604. I'm your father. I should know him a little better.

605. Let me ask you something, William.

606. What's your favorite movie?

607. That kiddie killer's still out there.

608. Where the hell else can we look?

609. We've already covered the Barren's.

610. There's a whole sewer system he could be hiding in.

611. I say we go in, split up, and search it all again.

612. How about that area outside the rail yards

613. where the hobos used to come through?

614. Tomorrow, we get the others, the Boone brothers, maybe,

615. - some dogs— - He's not there.

616. Grogan.

617. I know where he's hiding, and it ain't the rail yards.

618. - You serious? - Uh, yeah.

619. A lady called in a tip.

620. Didn't leave her name, but, uh,

621. well, considering the nature of the place

622. she was pointing at, I'd say it's a pretty safe bet.

623. Are you gonna arrest him?

624. Well, there's a problem.

625. See, when the tip came in, I was cleaning out my desk

626. 'cause the deputy mayor

627. just relieved me of my duties.

628. Seems, uh, they've lost confidence in my ability to...

629. serve and protect.

630. So, no. No, I couldn't even...

631. couldn't even give him a parking ticket.

632. What are you telling us for?

633. Look who made it.

634. What's happening, man?

635. Here you go. Careful now, she's got some sting.

636. Thanks.

637. Ah! Young Master Will's friends.

638. - Whatcha drinkin'? - Two Cokes.

639. Two Cokes coming up.

640. What are they doing?

641. Uh, I think they're dancing.

642. What kind of dancing is that?

643. Two Cokes?

644. Thank you.

645. I think there's something wrong with this Coke.

646. Well, nah, you got a...

647. Air Force Coke.

648. Tastes kind of funny.

649. That's the taste of freedom, son.

650. Freedom tastes weird.

651. Oh, they did play War of the Worlds

652. at the rec center on base last year.

653. - I— I— I like that. - Great answer.

654. You seem like a bright young man, William.

655. Truth is...

656. if anything were to happen to me...

657. it's good to know someone of your character

658. is looking out for my baby girl.

659. Nothing's gonna happen to you or Ronnie, sir.

660. Not on my watch.

661. Oh shit.

662. Not even the old Hanlon charm, huh?

663. I tried. She won't budge.

664. Oh man. That sucks.

665. - What are we gonna do now? - Hey, Sticks, you play?

666. I don't know. A little.

667. Look, we're about to swing out,

668. but our drummer's a little bit, uh...

669. indisposed.

670. What do you say? Wanna sit in?

671. Oh, come on!

672. I've never seen you play before. What's a couple more minutes?

673. What are we playing?

674. You know how to use these?

675. - Wanna go dance? - Oh yeah.

676. I love Air Force Coke.

677. Go, Rich!

678. It's kinda nice out here, huh?

679. Just the two of us.

680. Can finally hear each other talk.

681. And, girl, let me tell you something.

682. I can listen to the sound of your voice till sunup.

683. You sure you don't mean the sound of your own?

684. Oof.

685. Come on. Light me up.

686. You guys expecting more people tonight?

687. No.

688. Goddamn.

689. Say, you wanna kill those headlights, jack?

690. What's wrong with these people?

691. Get behind me. Now.
