Alphas (2011–2012): Season 1, Episode 5 - Never Let Me Go - full transcript

Ahhh!

Come here.

Where are you going?

Did you hear that?

Nice try. I don't
scare that easy.

Yeah.

You okay?

Oh, my God, Mr. Howard?

Don't take no for an answer

There's no telling
where we've been

Because people don't
understand, understand, understand



People don't understand

People like me

Oh, my God! SAM: Oh!

I said, "No. No." International.

International. Agreed.

Yes, exactly. Yes.
International, absolutely.

If anything could
taste that good.

Whoa.

Yeah, well, it's
my friend's place,

but she's, um, she's
letting me stay here.

You know, I still can't understand
how you managed to figure out

the recipes to
everything we just had

simply by tasting them.

I mean, that's incredible.



I, uh, I have a super
sensitive palate.

No kidding.

Well, I was thinking that...

Maybe we could...

Before you get your own
show on the Food Network...

We could, um, I don't
know, whip something up.

Just you and me.
Whip something up?

Yeah.

Oh, I'm... I'm sorry...

Did I... Did I do
something or...

No. I need you to go.

Yeah, sure. Could you
please just leave now?

You okay? Please. No, no,
no, don't touch me, please.

Okay. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry,

Can you go... Just
please go. Okay.

Rachel... For the
50th time, Nina,

I'm not going to talk
about my date with Sam.

Fine. But if you
suddenly decide to spill,

just remember, I
have plans tonight.

I won't spill. Rachel!

Morning, everyone.
I come bearing gifts.

Oh, let me open it. All right.

Let me open it, please.
No, I want to open.

Oh, yeah, let me
open it, please.

It's the sound of red tape being
cut courtesy of Agent Sullivan.

Oh, it's badges.

That's official cover, right?

Nail on the head, Cameron.

I get to keep this
one. It's my photo.

Apparently, we all get one.

Now we both have badges, Bill.

DCIS? Look at your picture.

Agent Sullivan said this is going to
help us with our investigatory hurdles.

I thought I was the answer
to our investigatory hurdles.

Here's yours, Bill.

What does DCIS even stand for?

It says, it's Defense
Criminal Investigative Service.

Yeah. Still no idea.

Hello. This is Zahra
Pirzad. Rachel?

Please leave a message
after the tone. Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm interrupting. No, no,
it's fine. Please come in.

Was that... That Sam fellow?

Does everybody here know
everything about my life?

It's an office, Rachel,
that's what happens.

People watch out for each other,

and a first date is
quite a milestone

in any young
woman's life. Please...

Dr. Rosen, I'm not
going to talk about this.

Not with Nina and
certainly not with you.

All right, if you change
your mind... Thank you.

I'm here. I will let you know.

How would you like to
go on a little road trip?

To where? Fenton, Pennsylvania.

Agent Sullivan called
about a situation there

and I think your abilities
might come in handy.

According to Sullivan,

Fenton's been hit
by a rash of deaths.

Three so far.

The victims suffered
rapid onset organ failure.

The CDC found abnormalities
in the victims' brains,

but no pathogens that
could have caused them.

Of course, the CDC
doesn't know about Alphas.

Now it's our turn.

I wouldn't have guessed
we'd need to employ our...

Our new cover so quickly.

I don't know.

I think I liked it better when we
were seeking out math experts

and violin prodigies. I know.
It's a bit of an adjustment.

An adjustment? Well, our
mandate is changing, Rachel.

You know the saying,
reward for success is...

Well, we shouldn't
get ahead of ourselves.

We don't even know if we're
dealing with an Alpha yet.

That's why I need my
best forensic investigator...

I smell fear.

Whatever's happening here,

this whole town
is scared to death.

Yeah, they said
it's right up here.

It's radiation from that
nuclear plant upriver.

I read an article about electromagnetic
fields caused by power lines,

cancer clusters.

Terrified. Just like
the others. Hmm?

Seem to have a bit of a chicken
or the egg thing going here.

Dr. Rosen? Yes.

Yes. Miss Pirzad? Pirzad, yes.

I'm Dr. Calder, CDC.

I was under the impression

that the CDC had
already ruled on this case.

Yeah, we're just pulling
up stakes as we speak.

But when I heard they
were sending in the DCIS,

I thought that I might
do the hand-off myself.

Oh, that's very
considerate of you.

Now, I've read your reports.

Are there any
further developments?

With all three victims, the damage
was centered in their amygdalas.

The... The
structures in the brain

that process fear and stress.

It's as if they were subjected to a
sudden and really severe shock.

Are these people afraid
because their neighbors are dying

or is it the fear
that's killing them?

Uh, chicken or egg?
Mmm? Good luck.

Three people are dead
and we need answers.

How's my team supposed to focus

when all they can think about
is who's going to drop next?

You've gotta calm down.
I've told you everything I know.

You haven't told
me a damn thing.

Look, I swear, Marty, if
you're holding out on me...

Don't threaten me.

That was a lot of testosterone.

Sheriff Handell.

Hi. I'm Dr. Lee Rosen.

Rachel Pirzad.

Marty. Sorry about that.

Coach Zelanski
gets a little passionate

about his football
team. Passionate?

I heard they were
sending more people, so...

Exactly, who are you folks?

Oh, sorry. DCIS.

Come on back.

So how'd this end up
at Defense Department?

Are we looking at terrorism?

Well, I wouldn't jump to
any conclusions just yet.

Sheriff, um, I'm sorry, were there
any links between the victims?

Ned Burton died first. He
was David Burton's dad.

David... David is a local
football star. Ned was a realtor.

Watts was our bank manager.

And James Howard, a guidance
counselor at Fenton High.

Those bodies looked
half-melted inside.

But there was no infection
and nothing on tox screens.

Tell me what I'm missing. I
mean four deaths in four weeks is...

Is way out of my league.

Did you say four deaths? We
were only informed about three.

Yeah, the fourth was unrelated.

Just a freak accident.

What kind of freak
accident? Car crash.

Chris Elkhart slammed
into a telephone pole

on his way home from school.

It was a horrible tragedy.

Autopsy? In a small town
like this, when a kid hits a pole,

it's probably drugs
or alcohol, but...

Why put the family though that?

Besides, this had nothing
to do with the other deaths.

Probably have to see the
body in order to be certain.

I assume, we'll need a
court order to exhume.

Chris's mother has
been through hell.

I promise we'll be as
considerate as possible.

Exhume Chris?

Uh, I don't understand.

I'm a father, Mrs. Elkhart,

but I can only begin
to imagine your pain.

But, um, given the
circumstances of Chris's accident,

we've asked Sheriff Handell

to help us look into
things a little further.

Isn't that right, Rachel?

I'm sorry, Mrs. Elkhart, how
long was it just the two of you?

Chris was 12 when his
father passed. Cancer.

That must have
been a difficult time.

Chris helped me get through it.

I know most teenagers don't want
to hang out with their mother, but...

Chris always told me
that I was his best friend.

He always called
us "the dynamic duo".

I'm sorry I have
to ask this but,

um, around the
time of the accident,

was there anything
out of the ordinary

happening in Chris's life?

Was he exhibiting
any odd behavior?

Chris tried out for the
football team this year.

It's a religion
around here. Yes.

But he wasn't big enough,

so Coach Zelanski made
him equipment manager.

We ran into the coach earlier.

He was very, uh, passionate.

He's a thug.

He used to get on
Chris for everything.

He'd shout at him
to move faster,

do a better job.

I told him to quit, but he didn't
want to let the team down.

They all showed up
for his funeral, though.

Players and coaches. That
must have been very comforting.

Chris would have liked it.
He was finally one of them.

I'm... I'm so sorry. This is...
This is so unprofessional.

Chris... Chris was so lucky to
have such a loving mother like you.

Oh, that is so
sweet of you to say.

All right, um, if you think
exhuming his body would help...

But could we please
get this over quickly?

Rachel, are... Are
you all right with this?

I need you to be honest with me.

Look, I know, I lost
it in there, Dr. Rosen.

I will not let that
happen again.

But it will. And that's okay.

You know, I'm glad we
have this chance to talk,

because you've been
feeling pretty sensitive

since you moved out of your
parents' home, haven't you?

My mom won't even
return my calls, Dr. Rosen.

So, seeing what a
loving relationship

Mrs. Elkhart had with her son

has probably made
you feel... It hurt.

Look, I just... I
just want to find out

whoever did this to her, okay?

Whoever took her child
away from her. Mmm-hmm.

That coach seems
like a real nightmare.

Fear and stress,
right, Dr. Rosen?

Yes, well, we need to
find out everything we can

before we confront
anybody, but yes,

that sheriff was not a very
big fan of Coach Zelanski.

Sheriff?

This is odd. Is anybody here?

I smell decay.

One heartbeat. Back there.

Rachel.

Sheriff Handell?

Sheriff Handell?

The smell. It's everywhere.

Rachel, wait!

Help!

Are you all right? I don't know.

Sheriff? Can you hear me?

I should've listened.
Who did this to you?

I should've stopped it.

Please, just call me back.

Is Rachel joining us?

I told her, her food
was getting cold, but...

Well, if she feels
anything like I do,

I imagine she's quite rattled.

I'm just gonna have to
take one for the team.

Tea, Bill?

Eggs, cheese, bacon, pancakes,

you sure these folks around
here didn't just die of heart failure?

Heart failure?
Because of the food.

Maybe they were
just bored to death.

Hey, I grew up in a town like this.
- Of course, you did.

This is where you
made your name, Hicks.

What were you, the
star quarterback?

No, star pitcher, right?

What can I say, I peaked early.

Well, I can say with confidence

that none of these people
died from boredom or poor diet.

Cortisol levels in
Sheriff Handell's blood

were five times higher
than I've ever seen.

Hmm, cortisol, makes sense.

Come on, what's cortisol about?

It's a hormone produced when
the body undergoes stress.

At chronically elevated levels,

it can shrink the amygdalas,

even eat away at
muscles and organs.

Now imagine that on a
radically amplified scale.

Can I get you anything else?

DCIS. You don't ask questions.

We ask questions.
We ask and you tell.

Gary, that's impolite.

So you really are Feds.

Put it away. I knew it.

It's a serial killer, isn't it?
- You tell us.

- Respect the badge.
- Gary. Gary.

Bill is laughing. WAITRESS:
Well, what else could it be?

I mean, I know they
didn't find poison,

but there's untraceable
poisons, right?

Or maybe it's
something in the water.

Ma'am, I promise you,

we're looking into anything
and everything related to these...

These victims. And when we find out
what caused this, we'll let everyone know.

Ah! Meet Coach Kent Zelanski.

He's... Grease.

Thank you, Gary.

So, he's connected
to four of our victims.

He's the guidance counselor,

the football player's
father and Chris Elkhart.

And Rachel and I saw him
in conflict with the sheriff.

Mmm. I don't know what
our next steps should be.

You know murder investigations

aren't exactly a
cornerstone of my practice.

Well, I'm sure you don't think

I just came here
for a vacation, right?

I got you. Thank you, Bill.

Nina and I will start
with Coach Zelanski.

I want the rest of you
to canvas the school.

Be very, very careful. We don't
know how this Alpha is killing folks, so...

If there is an Alpha.

Yeah, well, we still want
to be on alert, people.

I can't believe we still
have cheer practice

when people are dying.

Miss Rue was all up in
my grill over that trig test.

Up in my grill.

Try to concentrate on the
ones with Coach Zelanski, okay?

Yeah. Ooh! My jacket
doesn't have leather sleeves.

I want a patch on
my jacket, a "G".

Okay, I'm going to
get you a "G". For Gary.

For Gary. I'm going to
sew it on myself. Yeah!

You just focus for a couple
minutes, okay? Yeah. Okay!

Hey, Cameron, you're
up in my grill now.

You got to get out
of my grill. Okay.

Coach Zelanski
sends mean emails.

There's one to Rich Wallace

and there's three,
no, there's four,

to David Burton. David Burton?

Burton, isn't that the name
of one of our dead guys?

DCIS. No!

What? Eyes to yourself.

Yes!

What does my
relationship with Ned Burton

have to do with his death?

Like I said, we're just trying to
get a better sense of the victims.

You think I don't see
where this is going?

You tell me. Where's this going?

You know, you better
be pretty sure of yourself

before you come into my school

and accuse me
of being a part of...

Listen, listen. Nobody is
accusing you of anything, yet.

Do you know what
I do for this town?

In case you haven't noticed,

Panthers Football is Fenton.

My team gives people hope
and you come in here insinuating

I had something to
do with these deaths?

I never insinuated anything.

You are a damn
liar. Just stop it!

You need to sit down, lose the
attitude and answer questions.

Right!

Right. I'll answer your questions.
What do you want to know?

I'd like to see these
fancy badges do that.

Coach Zelanski is an ass
and he's definitely not an Alpha.

And you're certain about
that? I could be wrong.

Maybe it is the water. Bill,
CDC's been very clear about that.

So, assuming it is an Alpha,

someone who's using fear and
intimidation to kill these people.

Have you come across
anyone who fits that profile?

There was one football player

that kept popping
up in Handell's files

for fighting, vandalism,
also bullying.

He bullied... Hold on.
Hold on. Where's Gary?

David Burton.

No one likes David Burton.
Not the coach. Not anyone.

He punched you? Yeah.

Did you see Burton freakn out?

"Freakn", F-R-E-A-K-N.
That's not a word.

Guy's a psycho.

"Doosh!"

Get out of my hallway, wuss!

Oh, hey, you're David Burton.

Killer scares people.
You scare people. Kill...

Since when are they letting
retards into this school?

I'm not. I'm not a...

Hey, you shouldn't use
that word. I'm autistic.

You're a retard. You
look pretty retarded to me.

Thirty two on the CARS
scale. You have bad breath.

Yeah. Carly
Wellin, she said that

she'd rather lick a
toilet seat than kiss you.

It got 47 retweets.

Hey, don't touch me. I
don't like to be touched.

Yeah? Well, that's really
too bad for you, man.

Hey, hey, back off!

Hey, leave my boys alone.

That's David Burton,
the Alpha! Stop him!

Let me borrow this.

FBI. Out of the way!
Excuse me! Out of the way!

Jeez.

Doc!

I just tried to trip
the kid, not kill him.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry!

I didn't mean to.

Cameron, you did not do this.

He is not an Alpha. He's another victim.
- How?

I mean, where's
the Alpha who did it?

There's a hospital about
15 miles from here, Kathy,

I need you to
secure an MRI suite.

Yes, I want to run some tests,

see if I can isolate the cause.

His jacket's getting
caught on the door.

It's too bulky. You
should take it off.

Gary. Gary, back
up. Let me wear it!

Gary, Gary, you're
gonna get hurt.

Uh, the lever right there.
Come on. GARY: It's stuck!

I think our being here

has accelerated
the killer's time table.

I would appreciate
some help now.

Yes, we're on our way.

Bill, Cameron, I think you
should stay here and keep looking.

It might be a good idea to
retrace David's last few hours.

Dr. Rosen, I'd like
to stay, too. Okay.

Gary, are you
okay? Gary, get in.

No. I have bruises in my hair.

So, David's family's saying he
left at the same time as usual,

walked through the neighborhood.

No one at school saw anything
strange up until the fight.

We're coming up
empty. Not so fast, kids.

The exhumation on
Chris Elkhart is done.

We got the whole deal,
we have the autopsy

and we got the County
Medical Records,

the accident reports the
school files I requested.

Now Rachel, you said that in
all the victims the amyg... The...

Amygdalas. Thank you, Dr. House.

They shrunk on all
the vics, right? Yeah.

Well, that's not the
case with Chris Elkhart.

So, it was just an
accident? I don't know.

The accident
report's not adding up.

Hicks, that
temporal-spatial-whatever thing you do.

That can come in handy. I
need you to come with me.

It's nice to feel wanted. You
know what? You guys go ahead,

I'm going to go talk to the mom.

Gary, take that
off. It's not yours.

No. It looks better
on me. I'm a baller.

How do you even know
that word? It's the right word.

Nina. Nina. Same symptoms
as all the other victims.

Cortisol levels
through the roof.

And when we flushed his system,

his body continued
to produce cortisol

as rapidly as we
could get rid of it.

Well, maybe David was pushed

and it just keeps
triggering him.

Yeah, maybe Nina's the killer.

Are you the killer,
Nina? It'd be a surprise.

Because for the levels to
remain so high for so long,

they would have to be
triggered continuously.

These readings are
consistent with a...

A drug addict.

That's why his body is
producing so much cortisol.

He's in withdrawal.

Withdrawal? But
what's he addicted to?

Well, there were no foreign
substances indicated in his blood.

I think he's
addicted to a person.

They all were. The
patterns were all the same.

Addiction and then
withdrawal. Fatal withdrawal.

He's non-responsive to
meds, just like all the others.

I really feel we need
to quarantine this kid.

It won't be necessary.

Whatever is making him
sick, it's not contagious.

Dr. Calder, hello again.

I asked the hospital if they would
call me if anyone else fell ill. May I?

We need to initiate
support therapy right away.

Start a dilaudid drip.

What did you just do to
him? I... I just took his hand.

It seemed as though
he needed some contact.

Let go. Just for a moment.

Okay, okay, take
hold again. Both hands.

I don't get it. Why
is this helping?

By holding his hand, Nina, she's
giving David exactly what he needs.

It's a chemical secreted
by his own brain.

It's oxytocin. It's often
called the love hormone.

It's critically important in bonding
people to the ones they love.

And conversely, it causes the very real
pain people speak of when separated.

That's where the
cortisol comes in.

Yes. We need oxytocin
right away. Okay.

There's something I
think I can add to that.

Will you help me?

Nina, someone in David's
life has done this to him.

A serial killer who formed
an unnaturally strong bond

and then severed that bond.

Our Alpha.

He's flatlining!
Nina, hold tightly.

Crashing here!

Based on the medical evidence,

it doesn't look like Chris
was a murder victim,

but my colleagues
are still looking into it

and we should have
answers for you very soon.

But you had a
suspect? David Burton.

I read David's file.

I know that he bullied
Chris, but now he's dying.

Well, you'll excuse me
if I don't shed any tears.

Not after what David and
his friends did to my son.

What exactly did they do?

Jessica, we need
to know everything.

They thought he was weak
because he couldn't make the team.

He didn't like the
same music they like.

Stupid things.

So they ridiculed him,

spread rumors about him
on the Internet, beat him up.

The worst part for Chris was
that he idolized those boys.

He couldn't understand
why they had targeted him.

I'm sorry for dumping
all of this on you.

You were very kind to come here.

When did you say your
friends were coming back?

Oh! Well, they're at
the accident scene,

so half-hour, maybe
45 minutes. Oh!

You could wait here. I
could make you a snack...

Sorry. No, it's okay.

It's a habit. It's just a habit.

I guess in some ways
you remind me of him.

You're so sweet.
I won't keep you.

No, it's okay.

I'd love to stay.

Really? Yeah. Snack sounds good.

This is the spot, huh?

You know, I am fully literate

in accident reports,
Hicks. Did you know that?

Was it raining? An
oil slick or something?

No. It was a clear
day, overcast,

so no sun in his
eyes like today.

How fast was he
going? Report says 65.

But he had good brakes
and new tires, so...

Plenty of room to maneuver.

I'd expect to see swerve
marks if it was an accident.

What you got?

This is no accident.

Oxytocin seems to be working.

Your instincts may very
well have saved David's life.

I still don't understand the
addiction to the oxytocin.

I mean, does your team have
any idea what's causing it?

Um, yes. We do.

Okay.

Just the glaring silence
of government work.

Something you seem
to be familiar with.

It's been a pleasure. Thank you.

I need to see...

I need to see
her. Tell her I'm...

I'm sorry...

And I didn't mean to hurt her.

Who do you need to see, David?

Who didn't you mean to hurt?

Just let me know if anything
changes, please. Sure.

Yes, Bill.

Doc, I think we have our Alpha.

Who? How?

According to Hicks, Chris
Elkhart did not die in an accident.

Look, he crashed
on purpose, Doc.

The kid floored
it right into a pole.

I got this, okay?
This is what I do.

Put it on speaker. We matched
the autopsy with the police report

and the facts are not
matching the conclusions.

I mean, this kid
died of a suicide.

And why wasn't
that in the reports?

No idea, Handell covered it up.

He covered up a lot of things,

like that... That football
kid, David Burton,

apparently he'd been
bullying Chris something awful.

According to Chris's file,

his mother raised
holy hell about it.

The guidance counselor, Dave's dad
and that team booster Marvin Watts.

Yeah, and Sheriff Handell.

No one did anything about it.

So there's your
motive and opportunity.

Yeah, a grieving mother,
entire town to blame.

Yep. Rachel.

What? Rachel just went
to that woman's house.

Oh, my God.

Come on!

Is that nutmeg and cayenne?

I'm impressed.

I only used a pinch of
cayenne for the whole batch.

That was Chris's favorite.

You really loved
him, didn't you?

He was my son.

My parents, um...

Think I'm a freak.
Oh, I can't believe that.

The cayenne. That was nothing.

I can taste every ingredient.

This blanket, alpaca and silk.

Plus 5% performance fleece.

I can tell you that
just by touching it.

All my senses are that
strong. That's amazing.

Have you always been like that?

You should hear
what my parents say.

I hear them.

They think I'm sick because I
can't stand the sight of germs.

Because sometimes I won't eat.

They pray that they
can find someone,

anyone to marry me.

But I can't even
handle the kiss.

Who's going to want to
marry someone like that?

The only thing I'm good for
is being a walking crime lab.

Have you told your
mother how you feel?

She won't talk to me about it.

In fact, she won't talk to
me about anything right now.

That's, um...

That's, uh, Agent Harken.

He probably knows
something about Chris.

I should get that. Rachel.

It can wait.

I'm here for you.

Aw.

Angel.

There, there.

There.

How do you feel?

I feel wonderful.

No, no, no, wait. What?

Small town.

Whatever.

Anything? No. All clear.

I'll try Rachel.

Rachel.

I am so glad that I can
finally talk to someone.

I don't know why, but I feel
like I can trust you with anything.

You can.

I want to trust Dr. Rosen.

I do, but...

Sometimes I think all he
cares about is my Alpha ability.

So all of your team
members are Alphas like you.

Yeah. Everybody
except for Dr. Rosen.

Where are we going?

Well, we have to make one stop

and then I'll need
your help to get away.

Away? Away from what?

Nina, has Gary pinged
Mrs. Elkhart's cell phone yet?

Sir, you can't touch
that. Hey, that's illegal.

DCIS. A little room, please.

Any luck, Gary? No.
I've got signal overload.

Doppler radar truck's
in the neighborhood.

I hate Doppler 2000 and 3000.

And 4000. Okay, you heard that?

If I think back Rachel was
drawn to that woman immediately.

She could die.

From what you said, this Jessica
has no reason to hurt Rachel.

I don't think Mrs.
Elkhart's fully rational.

The oxytocin bond
works both ways

and I think Chris's death
triggered something akin

to psychotic
post-partum depression.

And Rachel's incredibly
vulnerable just now.

Not just emotionally, but
physically because of her ability...

Okay, I found her.
The Doppler's gone.

They're moving east
on Cross Creek Road.

Hicks and Harken are close.

Get Harken and Hicks.
Put them on. Put me on.

You killed those people.

Why?

How? When Chris was born,

I felt this overwhelming
rush of love.

And from that point on, I could
make other people feel that way, too.

I don't see how that
could hurt anybody.

Neither did I until
Chris's funeral.

David's father came to me crying

about what his son had done.

And I comforted him.

Then he told me he knew
about the bullying and did nothing.

I told him I never wanted
to see his face again.

The next day, he was dead.

That's when I knew how I
could make things right for Chris.

You're talking about murder.

I'm talking about justice.

Jessica, please, stop this. No.

You're a good
person. I begged them

to stop David and his friends...

I begged them and
they blamed Chris.

They blamed him, said
that he was too sensitive.

That I should... I should
take him to a therapist.

I should toughen him up.
Dr. Rosen can help you.

I don't need his help!

It hurts.

I'm sorry, Rachel, but you're
supposed to be helping me.

If you help me,
you'll feel better.

Okay, yeah, they're
heading east. Just head east.

Okay, no, wait, go right.

Are you sure?
Yeah. Go right now.

Through the woods? You
should have let me drive.

Yeah. you know
what? It's my car.

Okay. You can cut them
off at the next intersection.

Floor it!

Damn boondocks. Hello?

Damn it, Gary! I broke my axle.

I told you, you should
have let me drive.

That's not my fault. You
can drive safe and fast.

- Hands at ten and two.
- Yeah, whatever.

So, now what?

I don't know about
you, but I'm going to run.

What is it?

What do you see that I can't?

Rachel. It's Bill.

The others can't be far behind.

What are you doing? I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. What?

I'm sorry, but I've run
out of time. Look at me.

I don't love you.

I want you to die.

Rachel! Rachel!

Rachel!

Oh, Jessica, thank goodness.

I am so glad that you called.

With the Feds taking David
and all these people dying,

I just feel like I am losing it.

But if we can talk, I know
I'll feel so much better.

It always helps so much.

I won't be here long. Why not?

You murdered my son, Kent.

You and the rest of them. No.

And now I want you to
spend your last few hours

dying alone.

Doc, she's not responding! What
do... What do I do? Hold her still, Bill.

Hold her still. Rachel.

What is that? It's oxytocin.

Something to
counteract the withdrawal.

This doesn't look
like withdrawal, Doc.

I mean, it's happening too fast.

For anyone else.
But not for Rachel.

She's not anyone
else. Come on, girl.

Oh, my God. It's not working.

She's not breaking
the pain cycle.

Maybe she can. Rachel.

Rachel, listen to me.

Focus on my voice.
Hold her. Hold her tight.

Focus on the feeling of
our hands. Just that feeling.

Block everything else out.

Feel the comfort. I need her.

Her love is not real.

Real love is
unconditional, Rachel.

Listen to me, I care about
you more than you'll ever know.

You're like a daughter to me.

You always have been
and you always will be.

Concentrate. Concentrate.

We love you, Rachel.

We love you, Rachel. All of us.

Rachel, listen to the doc.

You can do it. You can do it.
- You okay?

Come on. You can do it. Focus
on the feeling of our hands.

It's working. She's doing it.

She's doing it. You're doing it.

- You're doing it.
- Can I put her...

Yeah, come here.
Yeah. Dr. Rosen.

Yes, we're right
here. We're all here.

You did it. Good girl.

Oh!

Don't do this, okay? I love you.

I would do anything to
bring Chris back. Anything!

Little late for that.

I know things got out of
hand, okay? I admit that.

But if Chris
wanted to play ball,

he needed to be a whole
lot tougher than he was.

Nobody thought he would
drive into a telephone pole.

Nobody. Always comes
back to that, doesn't it?

Always comes back to,
it's always Chris's fault.

It's Chris's problem. I am...

I am so sick of hearing
that. Tell me what...

What do you want
me to do, Jessica?

Just tell me and I will do it.

I swear, I will do it.

Burn in hell.

Hold it right there.

Right there. Don't move.

Don't let her touch
you. No, no, no.

We need an ambulance
at 57 Poplar Way.

No, no, no. Where are
you going? Don't let him...

Don't help him!
He let my son die!

I'm sorry to hear that.

Killing someone else is
not going to help you, is it?

Jessica, stop.

Chris wouldn't have wanted
you to hurt anyone, not for him.

I... I miss him.

I know.

I miss him.

So, what did you tell
everyone this time?

I kept it simple.

Jessica poisoned her victims,

which is true, to a point.

She's going away, isn't she?

To Binghamton. Yeah.

Yes. And I hope this isn't the
portent of more such cases to come.

It's the danger.

That said, how are you?

We should have that
printed up on T-shirts.

I'm alive, thanks to you.

Thank yourself, Rachel. It was
your own ability that saved your life.

You're a very
capable young woman.

More than you know.

What do you say
we... We go home?

Home sounds good.
