TRANSCRIPT

"Perditus" is the 71st episode of Haven and the nineteenth episode of season 5.

Synopsis

Nathan receives otherworldly aid as he tracks down a killer. Duke has a terrifying vision of Haven's future.

Plot

Charlotte's body is loaded into Haven's newest version of a mortuary van, an ice cream truck. Gloria says that Charlotte was stabbed 15 times. Audrey is very upset. She barely got to know her mother.

Dave and Vince are trying to count the number of people whose memories Croatoan altered. Dwight runs in. He wants to put Croatoan down now. Audrey wants to help him, and to do it, Dave has to have another vision.

Duke is still in the middle of a field with guy who is giving him more riddles than answers about Haven. The guy talks about the Crocker history. All of the colonists of Roanoke we're actually troubled. Croatoan was supposed to come and collect the Troubles and return to the void, but he couldn't. He wasn't strong enough to escape the void, so he created the first Crocker to do it. He did it by killing every human being in Roanoke.

Dave has absolutely no desire to trigger another vision, even if he's rip roaring drunk when he does it. He does, however, agree to do it. Just because he wants to find Croatoan and kill him himself. Vince says he'll help Dave find Croatoan.

The guy talking to Duke starts to get up and walk away but Duke grabs him and says that can't be all. The man reaches back and says it isn't and touches Dukes head. Duke is suddenly in a weird world, one in which he is back in Haven.

Nathan, meanwhile, is with the Tarot reader's sister, who has been squatting at the police station. She tried to reach Charlotte in the afterlife. She says she thinks Charlotte must have crossed over because she can't reach her. A man comes over and introduces himself as Herb to Nathan. Nathan realizes this is Lainey's husband. Ona breaks the news to Nathan that all of the people he sees before him have been resurrected because her Trouble. She doesn't talk to the dead, she brings them back.

Duke is sent to Haven to see what has become of it since he left. The human eyed crabs are all around. He runs into Vicky, who is drawing on the sidewalk with crayons and says she's trying to put things back the way they were but it never works. She tells him Nathan and Audrey are in the cemetery, dead, with everyone else. Duke asks if everyone is dead. He mentions Dwight, Gloria, Dave and Vince. Vicki says she can take him Vince.

Nathan and Dwight and Audrey chat about bringing Charlotte back courtesy of Ona. Charlotte is back, but her memory takes a little time to catch up. Unfortunately for Audrey and Dwight, it doesn't take as long as it did for others, and she disappears, upset.

Duke talks to Vince and he says that since Croatoan came to Haven it's been a graveyard. Someone screams and Vince tells him it's too late because Croatoan is there. Vince tells him all they can do is die.

Audrey looks for Charlotte at Lanie's place. She finds Herb munching on Lanie. There is definitely a problem with the resurrection Trouble. Nathan finds the trouble in Duke's journal. Same thing happened in the past. As soon as the resurrected person remembers their death, they start to kill and eat the people closest to them.

When Dwight tries to get Charlotte to remember connecting Audrey's father with Croatoan, she balks.

Back at the station all of the resurrected people are now mindless zombies and trying to get to Ona. Audrey and Charlotte are blocking the entrances but she needs help from Dwight and Nathan.

Duke comes back from his vision in Haven and still can't find Seth. He walks over to a tree that is dripping blood. It absorbs into his skin and he turns around and snaps the neck of a man who suddenly behind him. He turns over the body to find himself. His double tells him he is the fulcrum, he will either save his friends or kill them all. Suddenly Seth kicks him and he wakes up. Seth asks if he's okay because he was mumbling in his sleep.

Audrey talks to Ona, telling her she has to let go of everyone. Charlotte comes over and talks to Ona about how it's important to have good memories. The dead break in and suddenly start collapsing, no longer alive. Charlotte tells Audrey about her father. Dwight goes in to talk to her. She tells him she loves him and she dies again, this time in his arms.

Nathan tells Audrey that Charlotte told him they need to go into the void to get the controller crystal for the barn, but there's no way to open a thinnie with the shroud surrounding the town.

Dwight comes out and says she told him how she died.

Seth comes out of a convenience store talking only to find Duke in another car. He says he's going back to Haven. Seth says he wants to go but Duke tells him no. Seth forgets about him as soon as Duke drives away.

Dave and Vince find Charlotte's bag in the Herald's office under a desk. Audrey, Dwight, and Nathan burst in, saying Dave killed Charlotte.

  Seth: And the van doesn't go in that direction because?
  Duke: 'Cause I'm going alone.
  Seth: Oh come on man. You know I could just follow you there except the second drive away...
  Duke: You forget all about me and the troubles and Haven and you'll live a full and happy life Seth.
  Seth: Come on Duke don't do this. [Duke starts the engine] Duke. [hesitantly pauses] Okay. [They give each other one last fist pump before going their separate ways]

• Dave: Why aren't we waiting for reinforcements? [Vince follows the location where the tracker is beeping. They look underneath the desk, only to discover Charlotte's CDC bag.] What?

Trivia

• Laura Mennell was originally not meant to appear in this episode as Charlotte but the previous episode Wild Card was going to her last. This however changed and her contract was renegotiated for this episode to be her last.
• The writers of this episode Adam Higgs and Gabriele Stanton were having a difficult time coming up with a name of this episode. Both writer though are fans of the series the West Wing and many titles in that series were just latin versions of a certain word. Adam and Gabriele then found a word they liked in latin that related to the episode which was trying to regain what was lost.
• The post apocalypse portion of this episode was something the production wanted to do since the start of Season 5 but they could not find the right episode to do it. It was originally planned to be a whole episode but the writers of the episode decided to instead only make it one part of this episode.
• The production was not allowed to use the word zombie in the script and instead they used ghouls.
• Duke picking up the cricket bat in the post Apocalypse dream sequence is a reference to the film Shawn of the Dead.

Notes

• "Perditus" and "Wild Card" both took place on the same day.
• Perditus is latin for lost.
