NYPD Blue (1993–2005): Season 10, Episode 10 - Healthy McDowell Movement - full transcript

PREVIOUSLY ON "NYPD BLUE"...

ARE YOU USING?

NO, I'M NOT USING.

'CAUSE I CAN'T DO THAT AGAIN.
I WON'T DO IT.

I'M CLEAN NINE MONTHS.

DID I. A. B. FLIP YOU‐‐
WHEN YOU WERE IN THAT JAM?

ARE YOU WORKING SOMETHING OFF
FOR INTERNAL AFFAIRS?

DAD,
WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?

WHAT THE HELL
ARE WE GONNA DO NOW?!

[ Crying ] I DON'T KNOW.

WE'RE GONNA MOVE IN
WITH CONNIE AND THE BABY.



THEO,
THIS IS A GOOD THING.

NO, IT'S NOT!

DON'T RAISE YOUR VOICE.

I DON'T WANT TO!
THEO. THEO?

WHERE YOU GOING?
THEO?

[ SIGHS ]

A PART OF THE CARPET
WAS COMING AWAY

FROM THE WALL
IN THE BEDROOM.

I PEELED IT BACK AN INCH‐‐
HARDWOOD FLOORS.

I'M MORE OF A CARPET GUY.

I HAVE A FLOOR PERSON
WHO DOES AMAZING WORK.

THAT'S STEP ONE
WHEN I MOVE IN.

IT'S SO BRIGHT
IN THE MORNING.

THE WINDOWS WILL TAKE
A SHADE IF YOU WANT ONE.



OH, THAT'S THE LAST THING
I'D DO.

THE LIGHT'S WONDERFUL.

YEAH, WE FELT THE SAME.

[ CLEARS THROAT ]

I PUT IN A CHANGE OF ADDRESS
TO EVERYTHING‐‐

ALL BUT THE DEPARTMENT.

GREAT.

THEY SEND AN OCCASIONAL
PENSION STATEMENT‐‐

UNION LETTER.

THEY DON'T CLOG THE BOX.

IT'S JUST ME AND HER
HAVING THE SAME ADDRESS

IS A POTENTIAL JACKPOT.

YOU'LL GET ANY MAIL THE MINUTE
IT'S DELIVERED, AND...

THE SECRET'S SAFE WITH ME.

HOW MANY YEARS HERE?

EIGHT.

THAT'S A LONG TIME.

YEAH, IT'S HELD UP.

A LOT'S PASSED THROUGH HERE‐‐
GOOD AND BAD...MOSTLY GOOD.

I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH
FOR SUBLETTING IT TO ME.

IT'S PERFECT.

HERE.

AND THE DOOR'S ALWAYS OPEN.

I'LL WAIT IN THE HALL.

[ SIGHS ]

[ SIGHS ]
I JUST GOT HERE.

GENE CARDILLO
IS SAYING HIS SON CAME BY

AND TORE HIS APARTMENT UP.

HIS SON'S NAME IS MICHAEL,
25, SCHIZOPHRENIC.

THAT'S ALL I GOT SO FAR.

WHERE'S CONNIE?

ON THE PHONE
WITH THE SQUAD.

YOUR SON PRONE
TO THESE OUTBURSTS?

NO.

WHERE CAN WE FIND HIM?

HE'S A STREET PERFORMER‐‐
BASICALLY HOMELESS.

WHO ELSE LIVES HERE?

NO ONE.

WHERE'S HIS MOM?

SHE DIED FROM CANCER
WHEN HE WAS 5.

LISTEN, I DON'T WANT TO
PRESS CHARGES.

CAN YOU JUST TALK TO HIM?

WE'LL SEE WHAT WE CAN DO‐‐
GET HIM SOME HELP.

John:
WRITE DOWN YOUR SON'S INFO.

D.O.A. OVER ON 12th.
WE GOT TO HELP GREG AND BALDWIN.

OKAY.

ANDY...

I'VE BEEN THINKING,
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT

WHERE IN THE LIVING ROOM
TO PUT THE ARMOIRE.

YOU RENEGING
ON THE AQUARIUM NOW?

NO, I'M TRYING TO GET A
FLOOR PLAN IN MY HEAD HERE‐‐

THE AQUARIUM'S GOING UP.

I NEVER SAID IT WASN'T.

I HAD THEM FISH A LONG TIME.

RELAX.
THIS IS GONNA WORK OUT FINE.

OKAY?

[ SIGHS ]

I'M SEEING TWO TRAINS
COMING TOGETHER WITH THIS MOVE.

YEAH.

THANKS FOR THE INSIGHT.

ANGELA, THOUGHT WE HAD
A BREAKFAST PLANNED,

BUT YOU DIDN'T SHOW.

MAYBE I GOT MIXED UP.

SAME MESSAGE IS ON YOUR CELL.
CALL WHEN YOU GET THIS.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

CHECKED THE SON'S REGULAR PLACE.
THERE'S NO SIGN OF HIM.

WORD OUT TO PATROL?

THEY GOT HIS DESCRIPTION
AND PHOTO.

KID'S GOT A SHEET?

[ SIGHS ] YOU RAN HIM.
HE GOT A SHEET?

NO COLLARS.

BUT HE'S A HEAD CASE.

IN AND OUT OF HOSPITALS,
ON AND OFF HIS MEDS.

AND NOW HE'S OFF?
LOOKS LIKE IT.

WE GOT UNIFORM
WATCHING THE COFFEEHOUSE

IN FRONT OF WHERE HE PLAYS
IN THE EAST VILLAGE.

CLOSE THE DOOR BEHIND YOU.

[ TELEPHONE RECEIVER RATTLES ]

[ TELEPHONE KEYS CLICKING ]

[ DOOR CLOSES ]

[ SIGHS ]

YOU KNOW...

I MOVED OUT OF MY APARTMENT
THIS MORNING‐‐

AN APARTMENT I HAD
A FEW FOND MEMORIES IN,

AND I'M MOVING
INTO CONNIE'S APARTMENT

WHERE FOUR OF US
ARE GONNA BE LIVING‐‐

EITHER LIKE PEAS IN A POD
OR LIKE CATS AND DOGS.

NOW, THE REASON
I'M TELLING YOU THIS, JOHN,

IS BECAUSE
WHAT I DON'T NEED TODAY

IS MY PARTNER GIVING ME
THE SILENT TREATMENT, OKAY?

SO EITHER YOU SNAP OUT OF IT
OR YOU TELL ME WHAT IS GOING ON.

THIS STAYS
BETWEEN YOU AND ME.

ALL RIGHT.

LAST WEEK I WENT OVER‐‐
[ SIGHS ]

IT'S OKAY, KID.

[ SIGHS ]

IT'S ALL RIGHT,
JUST TAKE A MINUTE.

TAKE A DEEP BREATH.

[ EXHALES SHARPLY ]

WHAT'S GOING ON?

MY DAD.

I FOUND OUT THAT
WHEN HE GOT JAMMED UP

WITH INTERNAL AFFAIRS
OVER THAT HOOKER,

THEY REALLY
PUT IT TO HIM, AND...

THEY FLIPPED HIM.

FRAKER THREATENED TO TAKE
MY DAD'S PENSION.

HE THREATENED TO PUT ME
BACK IN THE BAG.

WHEN THESE COPS DOWNSTAIRS
GOT CALLED INTO I. A. B.

ON THAT OTHER THING...

I MENTIONED THE CASE TO HIM
THE NIGHT IT WENT DOWN.

HE TOOK IT TO I. A. B.?

AW, JOHN.

ANDY...

ANDY, IT'S KILLING HIM‐‐
THE GUILT.

IF IT GETS OUT,
HE'S DONE.

IT'S ALL ANYBODY
WILL KNOW HIM BY.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

WE'RE GONNA GET MARTENSE IN
HERE‐‐ SEE WHAT HE KNOWS.

EVEN THOUGH HE'S INTERNAL
AFFAIRS, HE'S STAND‐UP.

HE'LL GIVE US A CLEAR READ.

THAT'S OUR FIRST STEP.

OKAY.

WE'RE GONNA WORK THIS OUT.

Okay.

COME ON.

D.O.A.'s VICTORIA WALSH.
HER FRIEND FOUND HER.

Connie:
WHAT'S THE STINK?

THERE'S A LUMP OF BURNED‐UP
PLASTIC IN A FIREPLACE.

LOOKS LIKE A VIDEOTAPE.
WE DIDN'T TOUCH IT.

WE'LL TAKE THE FRIEND.

PAULA SCALERO.

I'LL START A CANVASS.

UH, EXCUSE ME‐‐

DETECTIVES MEDAVOY
AND JONES.

PAULA, WHAT BROUGHT YOU HERE
THIS MORNING?

[ Voice quivering ] WE WERE
GOING SHOPPING, THEN LUNCH.

DO YOU THINK SHE SUFFERED?

IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT.
WERE YOU TWO CLOSE?

I ONLY KNEW HER
A FEW MONTHS.

WE TEMPED
AT THE SAME COMPANY ONCE.

DOES SHE HAVE A BOYFRIEND?

NOT REALLY.

SHE EVER SAY ANYTHING
ABOUT SOMEONE BOTHERING HER?

WE DIDN'T TALK
ABOUT THOSE KINDS OF THINGS‐‐

SERIOUS THINGS.

WHAT DID YOU TALK ABOUT?

SHOES.

I MEAN, WE DIDN'T KNOW
EACH OTHER THAT WELL.

SHE'S GOT A LOT
OF PARTY PICTURES HERE.

SHE LOOKED POPULAR.

SHE DID LIKE TO PARTY,

BUT SHE KEPT THINGS PRETTY,
UH, SURFACE.

YOU STUCK TO SHOES?

PRETTY MUCH.

[ CLEARS THROAT ]

NO SIGN OF ROBBERY.
NO STRUGGLE.

LAMP WAS THE WEAPON?

I'LL GET CRIME SCENE
ON IT.

WE NEED TO CALL THE LAB
ON THAT TAPE IN THE FIREPLACE.

IT'S STILL WARM,

AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT
MIGHT BE PARTIALLY INTACT.

♪ I'M GONNA LEAVE YOU
WHEN I'M FAMOUS ♪

♪ I'LL BE UP BEFORE THE DAWN ♪

♪ I'M GONNA LEAVE YOU
WHEN I'M FAMOUS ♪

♪ AND YOU'LL MISS ME
WHEN I'M GONE ♪

♪ THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR... ♪

WELL, NO CRAZY PEOPLE HERE.
HEAD BACK?

THIS IS GONNA BE A TREAT.

♪ THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR ♪

♪ AND STAY AWAY FROM GANGS
AND CRACK ♪

MICHAEL CARDILLO?

♪ HARK, WHO GOES THERE? ♪

♪ WHAT DO YOU NEED? ♪

PUT THE GUITAR DOWN,
PAL.

♪ JELLYBEANS
AND OLD BLUE JEANS ♪

COME ON. COME ON.
IT'S OKAY.

YOU'RE MICHAEL CARDILLO?

MY NAME IS MIKHAIL.

LAST NAME'S "CARDILLO,"
THOUGH?

[ CHUCKLES ]
YES.

YOU GO BY YOUR DAD'S
APARTMENT TODAY?

YES.

YOU VANDALIZE IT?

I DON'T WANNA LIE.
I DON'T LIKE LYING.

COME ON,
LET'S TAKE A RIDE.

ANGELA.

[ DOOR KNOCKER RAPPING ]

ANGELA.

OH.
[ CLEARS THROAT ]

TONY. [ SNIFFS ]

ANGELA...

YOU ALL RIGHT?

WHAT TIME IS IT?

IT'S 10:30.
WHAT WERE YOU DOING?

SLEEPING.

IN YOUR CLOTHES?

I, UH, I MUST'VE DOZED OFF.

I'VE BEEN CALLING YOU
ALL MORNING.

WE'RE SUPPOSED
TO HAVE BREAKFAST.

OH, MY GOD.

I MUST'VE DOZED OFF.

WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON,
ANGELA?

I WAS JUST DOING SOME
PAPERWORK AND GOT TIRED.

DON'T BULLSHIT ME.

I SWEAR TO GOD.

YOU'RE HIGH.

NO, TONY...

YOU THINK YOU CAN FOOL ME?
ME?!

WHAT HAPPENED?

I DON'T KNOW.

YOU GOT DRUNK,
AND YOU GOT HIGH.

I CAN SMELL IT ON YOU.

I JUST WENT FOR A DRINK
WITH A FRIEND.

YEAH, AND WHEN
DID THE BLOW COME IN, HUH?

[ Voice breaking ]
I'M SO SORRY, TONY.

WE'RE DONE.
WE'RE FINISHED.

I'M NOT DOING THIS AGAIN.

LOOK, I'M DIFFERENT NOW!
I...JUST MADE A MISTAKE.

PLEASE DON'T RUN AWAY
FROM ME.

PLEASE, TONY.

I'M SORRY.
I DON'T WANT TO LOSE YOU.

I WANT HELP.

I CAN'T HELP YOU, ANGELA.
YOU NEED A PROGRAM.

CAN YOU HELP ME WITH THAT?

I AM SO SORRY.

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

[ SIGHS ]

BEEN TRYING TO FIND SOMETHING
THAT RHYMES WITH "KARAOKE."

DID YOU VANDALIZE YOUR DAD'S
APARTMENT THIS MORNING?

THERE'S "ANNIE OAKLEY."

OH, BUT THAT HAS AN "L."
I DON'T WANT TO USE IT.

WE NEED TO TALK TO MICHAEL.

IF WE GET MIKHAIL,

WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO TAKE
A RIDE DOWN TO BELLEVUE.

NO!
THEN START MAKING SENSE.

DID YOU VANDALIZE YOUR
DAD'S APARTMENT?

I WAS ANGRY.

WHAT ABOUT?

I DON'T KNOW.
I JUST BECAME VERY ANGRY.

DID YOU GET IT
OUT OF YOUR SYSTEM?

I THINK SO.

NO, YOU NEED TO KNOW SO,
MICHAEL.

THIS NEEDS TO BE OVER WITH.

YES, YOU'RE RIGHT.

IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN,
YOU GET LOCKED UP.

IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.

GOOD.

YOU NEED TO KEEP THAT PROMISE.

OH, SHE CAN'T BREATHE.

WHO CAN'T BREATHE?

SHE CAN'T BREATHE!

MICHAEL,
WHO WE TALKING ABOUT?

REMEMBER WHAT WE SAID
ABOUT TALKING COHERENT.

I REMEMBER.
IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.

OKAY, NOW, WHAT'S THIS
ABOUT "SHE CAN'T BREATHE"?

A RHYME FOR A SONG.
CAN I GO NOW?

YEAH.
GO AHEAD.

PEOPLE OUT THERE
WALKING AROUND LIKE THAT.

YEAH.

VICTORIA WALSH...

DUMPED HER PHONE‐‐

LOTS OF CALLS
TO A DR. JANE HENDERSON,

THE D. O. A.'s PSYCHIATRIST
IN CHELSEA.

JONES AND MEDAVOY
ARE BRINGING HER IN.

THAT BURNED‐UP VIDEOTAPE'S
STILL AT THE LAB.

HER FAMILY BEEN NOTIFIED?

THEY'RE ON THEIR WAY UP.
THEY DON'T KNOW WHY YET.

YOU KICK
MICHAEL CARDILLO YET?

"MIKHAIL," YEAH‐‐
BACK TO WONKA LAND.

I THINK HE GOT THE POINT.

LIEUTENANT, A PHILLIP McHENRY
FROM THE CLEAN LIVING CENTER.

DO ME A FAVOR.
DON'T ADVERTISE MY CALLS.

I'M SO SORRY.

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

15th SQUAD.

HOLD, PLEASE.

DETECTIVE...

...the movers.

SIPOWICZ.

UH‐HUH.

UH‐HUH.

WELL,
IT FIT THROUGH MY DOOR.

NO, WAIT. NO, NO.
FORGET IT.

YOU‐‐ WORK IT OUT
ON YOUR END.

WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?

MY COUCH WON'T FIT
THROUGH YOUR DOOR.

THEY WANT TO CHARGE 100 BUCKS
TO TAKE YOUR DOORJAMB OFF.

[ SIGHS ]
LISTEN, WE'LL GIVE YOU 50.

ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU.

[ RECEIVER CLICKS ]

RELAX.
EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE FINE.

[ SIGHS ]

MARTIN WALSH.
THIS IS MY WIFE, HELEN.

WE WERE CALLED
ABOUT OUR DAUGHTER, VICTORIA.

HI.
UH, LET'S TALK IN HERE.

SO WHAT'S GOING ON HERE‐‐
OR SHOULD I JUST GUESS?

EASE IN, HELEN.

I WON'T BOTTLE THIS,
MARTIN.

SO, DID SHE HURT
SOMEONE AGAIN‐‐ VICTORIA?

WHY DON'T WE ALL
HAVE A SEAT?

HAS SHE HURT PEOPLE BEFORE?

ACCIDENTALLY.

ATTACKING YOUR THERAPIST
WITH A CHAIR

AND THEN SMILING
ABOUT IT AFTERWARDS

IS NOT AN ACCIDENT.

THAT'S SOCIOPATHIC
BEHAVIOR.

IT HAPPENED ONE TIME
WITH OUR THERAPIST,

WHO SHE DOESN'T RELATE TO WELL,
AND THINGS EXPLODED.

ANY OTHER INCIDENTS?
NO.

OF VIOLENCE.

BUT SHE'S ALWAYS
BEEN INCORRIGIBLE‐‐

VERY...
INSIDE OUT BEHAVIORALLY.

Rita: DOES SHE RUN
WITH A LIKE‐MINDED CROWD?

SHE DOESN'T RUN WITH ANYBODY.
SHE NEEDS FRIENDS.

DECENT FRIENDS‐‐
SMART PEOPLE.

I'VE ALWAYS BEEN
TELLING HER THAT,

BUT SHE'S BEEN A LONER
SINCE SHE CAME TO US.

CAME TO YOU?

ADOPTED AT AGE 8.

DRUG‐INFESTED HOME.

WE THINK THAT SHE MAY HAVE
SOME FETAL ALCOHOL SYNDROME,

BUT THE RECORDS ARE LOST.

I DON'T NEED THE RECORDS
TO SPOT F. A. S.

SO, UM,
DOES SHE NEED AN ATTORNEY?

IS IT THAT SERIOUS
OR WHAT?

UH, WE'VE GOT SOME BAD NEWS
FOR YOU.

OH, BELIEVE ME.
WE'RE USED TO IT.

VICTORIA WAS FOUND DEAD
THIS MORNING.

THAT'S...CRAZY.

WE'RE SORRY.

YOU'RE SERIOUS?

I CAN'T DEAL WITH THIS.

WHAT HAPPENED?

SHE WAS MURDERED.

WHAT?!

HOW CAN YOU JUST SIT THERE?
WHO DID IT?

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING
TO FIND OUT.

DO YOU KNOW OF ANYTHING
THAT MIGHT HELP?

WHAT ARE YOU ASKING ME FOR?!

DO YOU KNOW ANYBODY
SHE WAS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH?

AM I SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE
TO SIT HERE

AND ANSWER QUESTIONS
ABOUT MY DAUGHTER RIGHT NOW?!

IS THAT NORMAL BEHAVIOR?

I NEED TO TALK TO CORY.
I'M GONNA HYPERVENTILATE.

CORY?
OUR THERAPIST.

DO YOU WANT TO CALL HIM?

[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]

THAT WAS THE LAB.

THEY PULLED A FRAME
OUT OF THE BURNT VIDEOTAPE.

IT'S THE D. O. A. NAKED
ON HER BED.

THEY'RE TRYING TO SALVAGE
SOME OTHER FRAMES.

THEY'LL SEND OVER WHAT THEY GOT
WHEN THEY'RE DONE.

MAKE SURE McDOWELL
AND ORTIZ ARE HIP.

YOU GOT IT.

MR. CARDILLO.

WHY DON'T YOU SIT DOWN?

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?

MICHAEL.

HE HIT YOU?

I WAS CLEANING UP THE APARTMENT.

I OPENED THE DOOR,
AND HE ATTACKED ME.

AND THIS IS RECENT‐‐
HIM GETTING VIOLENT?

FROM OUT OF NOWHERE.
I DON'T KNOW WHY.

AND YOU'RE SURE ABOUT THAT?

THERE'S NOTHING ELSE GOING ON
HERE THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?

NO.

I'VE DONE EVERYTHING TO TRY
AND HELP HIM,

BUT IT HASN'T WORKED.

NOW I'M AFRAID OF HIM.

WE'LL GET HIM SOME HELP,
SIR.

WE'LL GET OUT THERE
LOOKING FOR HIM RIGHT AWAY.

TELL HIM...

DETECTIVE...

I'VE ALWAYS TREATED YOU DECENT,
HAVEN'T I, MARTENSE?

SHOULD I HAVE BROUGHT
BACKUP?

I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU EXIST.
I ACCEPT IT.

SOME GUYS AREN'T MEANT
TO BE COPS.

BUT WHEN YOU SWOOP DOWN ON A GUY
WITH 26 YEARS ON THE JOB

OVER SOME RINKY‐DINK
INFRACTION‐‐

WHO ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?
MY DAD.

THERE WERE NO GUNS POINTED
AT ANYBODY'S HEAD.

THREATENING TO TAKE
HIS DAD'S PENSION AWAY?

THREATENING TO LEAK THAT HIS
DAD WAS I. A. B. IF HE RETIRED?

THREATENING TO PUT JOHN
BACK IN UNIFORM?

I WASN'T IN THE ROOM.

YOU KNEW FRAKER GOT HIM,

AND YOU COULD'VE GIVEN US
A HEADS‐UP.

MOST OF OUR FIELD ASSOCIATES
AREN'T IN A BIG HURRY

TO HAVE FELLOW COPS
KNOW THEY'RE WORKING FOR US.

GIVING US A HEADS‐UP WOULD'VE
GOTTEN YOU A LOT MORE IN RETURN

THAN WHATEVER JOHN'S DAD
WOULD'VE GIVEN YOU.

WHAT DO YOU WANT,
SIPOWICZ?

HOW'S HE GONNA GET OUT
FROM UNDER THIS?

WHY AREN'T YOU TALKING
TO CAPTAIN FRAKER?

DON'T PLAY GAMES WITH ME,
MARTENSE.

FROM WHAT I CAN TELL...

IF YOUR DAD HAPPENED TO
PUT HIS PAPERS IN,

LIKE, OH, I DON'T KNOW,
SAY, TODAY...

HE MIGHT FIND OUT THAT FRAKER
WAS BLUFFING.

THIS IS A GUY WHO NEVER DID
A WRONG THING HIS WHOLE CAREER.

MAYBE HE WASN'T THE FIRST
THROUGH THE DOOR,

MAYBE HE WENT BY THE BOOK
TOO MUCH,

BUT HE NEVER DID ANYTHING

TO DESERVE GETTING
WORKED OVER LIKE THIS.

YOU TELL FRAKER HIS EMPTY
THREATS NEED TO STAY EMPTY.

IF ANYTHING HAPPENS
TO THAT KID OR HIS DAD,

IT'S COMING BACK
TO HIM DOUBLE.

I'M YOUR MESSENGER BOY NOW?

FRAKER'S GIRLFRIEND
ON THE SIDE‐‐

THE ONE YOU TOLD ME ABOUT‐‐

PLAY IT HOW YOU WANT TO PLAY IT,
BUT YOU LET HIM KNOW.

HEY, SARGE...

[ SIGHS ]

THAT WHOLE THING
WITH THE AUXILIARY COP‐‐

WE MADE PROMISES THE GUYS
DOWNSTAIRS WOULD STAY IN‐HOUSE

IN EXCHANGE FOR THEM COMING
CLEAN, WHICH THEY DID.

ANDY AND I HAD NO INTENTION
OF GIVING THESE GUYS UP TO YOU.

I'M AWARE OF ALL THIS.

[ SIGHS ]

LAUGHLIN RESIGNED
AT OUR SUGGESTION,

BUT NOW HERE HE IS GETTING
JAMMED UP WITH YOU GUYS

BECAUSE OF INFORMATION
THAT WENT THROUGH ME.

CAN YOU DO SOMETHING
FOR HIM?

NEED YOUR CAR DETAILED,
TOO?

LISTEN,
I'M NO FAN OF THIS GUY,

BUT WE MADE PROMISES TO HIM
WHICH WEREN'T KEPT.

I'LL LOOK INTO IT.

IF IT'S JUST A MATTER
OF HIM

GETTING A REP
AND SOME PROBATION,

I'LL BLOW IN
HIS DELEGATES HERE.

I APPRECIATE IT.

I SHOULD HOPE SO.

I HAVE TO ADMIT,
I'M A BIT IN SHOCK.

I'M PRETTY NEW
TO PRIVATE PRACTICE.

I NEVER LOST A PATIENT BEFORE.

WHEN'S THE LAST TIME
YOU SAW VICTORIA?

TUESDAY.
SHE WAS IN GOOD SPIRITS.

IS THAT GENERALLY
NOT THE CASE?

IT DEPENDED.

BUT SHE WAS DEFINITELY
IN THERAPY FOR A REASON.

VICTORIA'S SESSIONS ARE COVERED
UNDER DOCTOR‐PATIENT PRIVILEGE.

IT DOES CONTINUE AFTER DEATH.

OKAY, BUT IS THERE ANYONE
YOU CAN THINK OF

WHO MIGHT HAVE DONE THIS?

I CAN'T DISCUSS
HER CONVERSATIONS.

YOU REALIZE WE CAN GET
A COURT ORDER AND FORCE YOU TO?

YES.
BUT I TOOK AN OATH.

WELL, WE GOT A DEAD GIRL HERE.
IT'S YOUR PATIENT.

WHO I TOOK AN OATH
TO PROTECT.

RIGHT NOW,
ALL YOU'RE DOING

IS PROTECTING THE GUY
WHO KILLED HER.

I COULD LOSE MY LICENSE
FOR THIS.

WELL, WE'RE GOOD
AT KEEPING SECRETS.

[ CHUCKLES ]

SHE WAS SLEEPING
WITH AN OLDER MAN.

HE WAS GIVING HER MONEY,
PAYING HER RENT‐‐

REALLY MANIPULATING HER
EMOTIONALLY.

DID YOU GET HIS NAME?
SHE WOULDN'T TELL ME.

IT WAS A BREAKTHROUGH
GETTING HER TO ADMIT THAT.

DID HE EVER THREATEN HER?

NO. I WOULD'VE MADE HER
GO TO THE POLICE OR GONE MYSELF.

THAT'S PART OF THE OATH, TOO.

THERE'S NOTHING ELSE.
MAY I GO?

WE APPRECIATE IT.

HEY, JOHN.

POP.

[ SIGHS ]

EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?

I MADE SOME PHONE CALLS,
LOOKED INTO IT‐‐

THAT THREAT HANGING OVER YOU,
WE CAN WORK AROUND IT.

ACCORDING TO WHO?

TRUST ME.

SO WHAT WE GOT TO DO NOW IS
YOU NEED TO RETIRE RIGHT AWAY.

WHO'D YOU TALK TO?

I SPOKE TO A‐‐
A BOSS OVER THERE.

NOW, I MADE AN APPOINTMENT
FOR YOU WITH THE PENSION BUREAU

TO PUT IN YOUR PAPERS
TOMORROW 9:00 A. M.

JOHN, THEY SAID IF I RETIRED,
THEY'D RUIN MY NAME.

IT WAS A BLUFF.

NO, LET ME WORK IT OFF
MY OWN WAY.

TELL YOUR PARTNERS
THIS IS YOUR LAST DAY.

DOWN THE ROAD,
THERE MAY BE A RACKET.

TONIGHT, YOU'RE INVITING PEOPLE
OUT FOR DRINKS‐‐ JUST FRIENDS.

I GOT TO THINK ABOUT THIS.
DAD!

THERE'S NOTHING
TO THINK ABOUT.

IT'S OVER.
THE APPOINTMENT'S MADE.

LET YOUR PARTNERS KNOW

AND BRING ALL YOUR GUNS
HOME TONIGHT.

ALL RIGHT, DAD.

I'LL SEE YOU TONIGHT.

YEAH.

THE CLEAN LIVING CENTER
IN BROOKLYN‐‐

THERE'S A SPOT OPEN.

OKAY. GOOD.

I CALLED IN A LOT OF FAVORS.

I CAN'T TELL YOU
HOW MUCH THIS MEANS TO ME.

SO, IF THIS IS NOT A HAND JOB,
DON'T WASTE MY TIME.

I‐‐ I'M SERIOUS
ABOUT THIS, TONY.

I NEED HELP.
I WANT IT.

I'M READY.

I KNOW YOU'RE DISAPPOINTED,
BUT YOU'VE GOT TO UNDERSTAND.

I WAS SOBER FOR NINE MONTHS.
I CAN DO IT.

BUT THEN WHAT?

THE WEATHER CHANGES,
THE STARS LINE UP WRONG?

RELAPSE IS
PART OF THE PROCESS.

YOU DON'T NEED TO EXPLAIN
THE PROCESS TO ME.

I WAS HAPPY...
BEING BACK WITH YOU.

IT GOT ME THINKING
THAT I WAS OKAY

AND THAT I COULD HANDLE
A DRINK.

BUT I CAN'T.
I SLIPPED.

I'VE NEVER WANTED TO BE SOBER
SO BAD...

OR HAD A REASON TO.

YOU'RE GONNA
HAVE TO PROVE THAT.

I KNOW.

I WANT TO.
I'M GOING TO.

YOU CHECK IN TONIGHT.

UH, OKAY.
WHERE DO I GO?

BROOKLYN HEIGHTS.
I'LL TAKE YOU IF YOU WANT.

YOU'VE DONE ENOUGH.

I'LL TAKE YOU.

I'LL BE AT YOUR APARTMENT
ABOUT 5:30.

PACK FOR ABOUT A WEEK,
MAYBE MORE.

OKAY.

I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU.

5:30.

ELLA DODSON'S ON HER WAY UP.

WHO'S THIS?

IT'S A FRIEND OF THIS NUT CASE,
MICHAEL, MIKHAIL, WHATEVER.

A VOLUNTEER AT ONE
OF THE HOMELESS SHELTERS

THAT HE FLOPS AT
GAVE US HER NAME.

SO, HE'S STILL IN THE WIND?
YEAH.

POLICE LAB JUST DROPPED OFF

THE STILLS
FROM THE BURNED‐UP VIDEOTAPE.

Tony: THEY'RE LYING NAKED
ON THE BED, RIGHT?

THEY GOT ANOTHER ONE
OF HER HAVING SEX.

GET ON THIS.

ELLA DODSON.

DETECTIVE CLARK CALLED ME ABOUT
MICHAEL CARDILLO‐‐ MIKHAIL.

WHAT'S GOING ON
WITH MICHAEL?

WHY DO YOU NEED
TO TALK TO ME?

WE'RE LOOKING FOR HIM.

WHY?

HE ASSAULTED HIS DAD.

MY GOD.
IS MR. CARDILLO ALL RIGHT?

YEAH.

IS HE GONNA GET ARRESTED
FOR THIS?

WE'RE GONNA TRY
AND WORK IT OUT.

HE STAY WITH YOU SOMETIMES?

HE COMES BY ON SUNDAYS TO CLEAN
UP AND GET SOMETHING TO EAT.

HOW YOU KNOW HIM?

SINCE JUNIOR HIGH.

SO, HE WAS...NORMAL
ONCE UPON A TIME?

YEAH. UP UNTIL
SOPHOMORE YEAR IN COLLEGE.

HAS HE BEEN VIOLENT
IN THE PAST?

NO, HE'S A TOTAL SWEETHEART.

EVER SINCE HE BECAME A STREET
ARTIST, HE'S BEEN HAPPY?

YEAH.

HE'S NEVER BEEN VIOLENT
BEFORE?

YOU KNOW, TWO WEEKS AGO,

WHEN HE CAME
TO MY GRANDMOTHER'S FUNERAL,

AND AFTERWARDS,
BACK IN MY APARTMENT,

HE STARTED BREAKING PLATES.

BUT IT WAS OVER REAL QUICK.

THAT'S THE ONLY TIME
I'VE SEEN HIM ANGRY.

WHEN WE TALKED TO MICHAEL
THIS MORNING,

HE SAID, UH,
"SHE CAN'T BREATHE."

HAS HE EVER SAID THAT
AROUND YOU?

LAST SUNDAY.

YOU ASK WHAT HE MEANT?

SURE, BUT HE DIDN'T TELL ME.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

MICHAEL VANDALIZED
HIS DAD'S HOUSE AGAIN.

UNIFORMS HAVE HIM DETAINED
AT THE SCENE.

MY GOD.

THANK YOU FOR COMING IN.

SO, WHAT NOW?
I SHOULD BE WITH MY WIFE.

YOUR‐‐ YOUR RELATIONSHIP
WITH VICTORIA, MR. WALSH‐‐

UM, WAS IT PRETTY TRADITIONAL,
FATHER‐DAUGHTER,

OR, UH, DID IT GO BEYOND THAT
DUE TO HER BEING ADOPTED?

SHE WAS OUR DAUGHTER.

AND YOU, UH, TOOK CARE OF HER
FINANCIALLY?

SUBSIDIZED, MORE LIKE.
WHAT IS THIS ABOUT?

WAS THERE A BARTER SYSTEM
INVOLVED

IN THIS SUBSIDY, MR. WALSH?

LIKE, WERE YOU HAVING SEX
WITH HER FOR IT?

WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?

[ SIGHS ]

YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND

SHE WAS
VERY PSYCHOLOGICALLY ADEPT.

SHE PLAYED MEN
LIKE CHESS PIECES.

THE WAY WE HEAR IT,
YOU WERE PLAYING HER.

I HAVE A SEX ADDICTION...
DIAGNOSED.

BEATING HER BRAINS IN
WITH A LAMP‐‐

YOU'RE ADDICTED
TO THAT, TOO?

DID SHE WANNA BREAK IT OFF?

I DIDN'T KILL HER!

DID SHE THREATEN
TO TELL YOUR WIFE?

THIS IS RIDICULOUS!

DID YOU GO TO HER APARTMENT
TO TALK ABOUT THE VIDEOTAPE?

I WASN'T THERE.
QUIT LYING, MARTIN!

I GOT TO WORK AT 6:00 A.M.
I WASN'T ALONE.

WHO WAS WITH YOU?

NAMES...AND WHERE
THEY CAN BE CONTACTED.

I NEED TO SEE MY LAWYER.

WE CAN'T HELP YOU
IF YOU DO THAT.

I NEED TO TALK TO MY LAWYER!

HEY, I'M SORRY FOR ALL THIS.

THAT'S OKAY.

HE STARTED THROWING ROCKS
AT THE WINDOWS.

MICHAEL?

MICHAEL!

I DIDN'T LIE WHEN I SAID
THAT I WOULDN'T COME HERE AGAIN,

'CAUSE AT THE TIME,
I DIDN'T THINK I WOULD.

BUT...I DID, AND I'M SORRY
'CAUSE I DON'T LIKE TO LIE.

WE'RE GONNA GET YOU
SOME HELP, OKAY?

OH, NOT BELLEVUE!

NO, SHE CAN'T BREATHE!

WHO?

SHE CAN'T BREATHE!
I SAW IT!

SHE NEEDS OUR HELP!
WE NEED TO HELP HER!

WHAT IS HE TALKING ABOUT?

MICHAEL, WHO CAN'T BREATHE?
WHO NEEDS HELP?

LET'S GO.
THAT'S IT, THAT'S IT.

LET'S GO. THAT'S IT.
COME ON.

NO! NO!

HAVE A SEAT, DR. BARISH.

IS THIS ABOUT MARTIN WALSH?

HELEN SAID
THAT YOU BROUGHT HIM IN.

WE'RE NOT GONNA LIE TO YOU.

HE'S OUR PRIMARY SUSPECT
IN THE HOMICIDE.

REALLY?

DOES THAT COME
AS A SURPRISE?

OF COURSE.

YOU WEREN'T AWARE

OF ANY ANIMOSITY
BETWEEN MARTIN AND VICTORIA?

WE'RE GETTING INTO
PRIVILEGED TERRITORY.

WE KNOW THAT MARTIN AND VICTORIA
WERE HAVING SEX.

WE ALSO KNOW THAT VICTORIA
PLANNED TO END IT SOON.

YOU CONFRONTED MARTIN
WITH THIS?

HE ADMITTED TO THE SEX,

BUT THEN HE STOPPED
TALKING TO US.

WHAT WE NEED
TO KNOW FROM YOU IS,

HAS MARTIN BEEN AGITATED
RECENTLY?

AGAIN,
THAT WOULD BE PRIVILEGED.

WE'D RATHER NOT HAVE TO GET
A COURT ORDER, DOCTOR.

SORRY.

HOW DOES THIS PROTECT
YOUR PATIENT?

EXPLAIN THAT TO ME.

WHEN YOU EXPLAIN HOW MUCH YOU'LL
CONTRIBUTE TO MY LEGAL DEFENSE

WHEN MARTIN WALSH SUES ME
IN CIVIL COURT.

[ CELL PHONE RINGS ]

I NEED TO TAKE THIS.

I'LL FILL IN THE BOSS.

ANYTHING FROM THE SHRINK?

CLINGING TO
DOCTOR‐PATIENT CONFIDENTIALITY.

IS THE MOM LAWYERED UP?

WE CAN CHECK.

IF SHE ISN'T, BRING HER IN
AND CONFRONT HER

ABOUT HER HUSBAND
BANGING HER DAUGHTER.

MAYBE SHE'S BEEN PROTECTING HIM,
AND SHE'S TIRED OF IT.

WHERE'S MICHAEL?

TAKING A LEAK.

JUNIOR'S MAKING SURE
HE DOESN'T DO ANYTHING STUPID.

HE'S A COLLAR?

WE'RE GONNA GET AN ARREST NUMBER
FROM CENTRAL BOOKING,

THEN TAKE HIM OVER
TO BELLEVUE PSYCHIATRIC.

CAN YOU EVEN CONTEMPLATE

A $40,000 TAB
FOR MALPRACTICE INSURANCE?

TOO BUSY THINKING
ABOUT A DEAD GIRL.

I'M SORRY I COULDN'T HELP.

WHO'S THIS?

FAMILY OF THE D. O. A.‐‐
THEIR PSYCHIATRIST.

YOU GOT HALF A CONSCIENCE,
OR IS IT ALL ABOUT THE DOUGH?

I'M A BUSY MAN.

CAN YOU SPARE A MINUTE TO TALK
TO A GUY ON ANOTHER CASE‐‐

A SCHIZOPHRENIC?

WHAT KIND OF CASE?

MAYBE A HOMICIDE.
WE DON'T KNOW.

IF YOU WANT ME TO ELICIT
A CONFESSION, THERE'S NO WAY‐‐

WE'RE LOOKING AT HIM
AS A POTENTIAL WITNESS.

WE JUST CAN'T GET THROUGH
ALL THE MUCK IN HIS HEAD.

OR DO YOU NOT GIVE A DAMN?

I'D NEED MORE INFORMATION.

COME ON.

I UNDERSTAND
YOU PLAY THE GUITAR.

WOULD YOU RATHER BE DOING THAT
RIGHT NOW?

YES.

BECAUSE YOU'RE SCARED.
I UNDERSTAND THAT.

WHAT YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND IS,
IF YOU TALK TO ME,

I CAN HELP YOU
BE LESS SCARED.

IF YOU TELL ME
WHY YOU'VE BEEN BEHAVING

THE WAY YOU HAVE
WITH YOUR DAD,

I CAN HELP GET YOU BACK
TO PLAYING GUITAR FOR PEOPLE.

MIKHAIL...

WHO IS IT THAT CAN'T BREATHE?

I SHOULDN'T BE HERE.

ELLA'S GRANDMOTHER,
WHOSE FUNERAL YOU WENT TO‐‐

IS IT HER THAT CAN'T BREATHE?

[ SNIFFLES ]

I CAN HELP YOU
BE LESS SCARED, MIKHAIL,

BUT YOU HAVE TO TALK TO ME.

I SHOULDN'T BE HERE.

I KNOW YOU'D RATHER BE PLAYING
FOR PEOPLE ON THE STREET,

BUT WE NEED TO HELP THIS PERSON
WHO CAN'T BREATHE.

SHOULDN'T BE HERE.

BRING HIM THE GUITAR.

HE'LL SING "HAPPY, JOY"
FOR TWO HOURS.

BRING IT TO HIM.

[ SOBBING ]

WILL YOU PLAY SOMETHING?

DO YOU WANT TO SING

ABOUT ELLA'S GRANDMOTHER
OR YOUR FATHER?

I SHOULDN'T BE HERE!
I SHOULDN'T BE HERE!

SHOULDN'T BE
IN THE POLICE STATION?

I SHOULDN'T BE SEEING THIS.

SEEING WHAT?
HE SAID NOT TO BE HERE.

HE SAID, "GO OUT AND PLAY."

YOUR FATHER?

HE SAID, "GO PLAY OUTSIDE,"

BUT I WANT TO HIDE
IN THE CLOSET.

IS THAT WHERE YOU ARE NOW?
MM‐HMM.

WHAT CAN YOU SEE?
SHE CAN'T BREATHE.

WHO?
HE WON'T LET HER!

YOUR FATHER?
HE'S PUTTING A PILLOW ON HER!

ON WHO, MIKHAIL?
LEAVE HER ALONE!

[ SOBBING ]

MOM, PUSH HIM OFF!

OH, MAKE HIM STOP!
PLEASE, PLEASE, MAKE HIM STOP!

YOU SAW YOUR FATHER
WITH A PILLOW ON YOUR MOM

WHEN YOU WERE IN THE CLOSET?

SHE CAN'T BREATHE.

[ SOBBING ]

HOW'S MICHAEL?

A LOT MORE LUCID.
HAVE A SEAT.

SO, HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S DONE?

YEAH.

HE'S NOT GOING
TO JAIL, RIGHT?

HE'S GOING TO A HOSPITAL.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.

WE GOT A PRETTY GOOD IDEA.

YOU DO?

A MEMORY CAME BACK TO HIM
RECENTLY.

THAT'S WHAT'S GOT HIM
ALL AGITATED.

WHAT MEMORY?

YOU PUTTING A PILLOW
OVER HIS MOTHER'S FACE.

OH, MY GOD.

IS THAT WHAT HAPPENED?

OH, MY GOD!

MR. CARDILLO,
IS THAT WHAT HAPPENED?

RECORDS SHOW SHE DIED AT HOME
OF NATURAL CAUSES.

MR. CARDILLO, WHAT HAPPENED?!

MY WIFE HAD TERMINAL CANCER.

SHE WAS...

SHE WAS IN SEVERE PAIN.

THE DRUGS WEREN'T WORKING.

SHE MADE ME PROMISE I WOULDN'T
LET HER SUFFER ANYMORE.

SHE DIDN'T WANT MICHAEL
TO SEE HER WASTE AWAY.

I WAS TRYING TO HELP HER...

AND PROTECT HIM.

HE SAW?

[ SIGHS ]

I'M GONNA TALK TO THE D. A.,
SEE WHAT WE CAN DO.

ABOUT WHAT?

[ SIGHS ]

FOR KILLING YOUR WIFE, SIR.

SHE WAS DYING.

SHE WANTED ME
TO END HER SUFFERING.

WE'LL TALK
TO THE D. A.'s OFFICE.

YOU'RE ARRESTING ME?

STAY HERE.

I SHOULD BE HOME.
THIS IS A REAL CRISIS.

WE JUST HAVE
A FEW QUESTIONS‐‐

MAINLY ABOUT YOUR HUSBAND'S
RELATIONSHIP WITH VICTORIA.

IT WAS FINE.

I'M ALSO A LITTLE SEDATED.

DID YOU KNOW YOUR HUSBAND AND
VICTORIA WERE HAVING SEX?

THAT'S A LIE.

THIS IS A STILL PHOTO

FROM THE BURNED‐UP VIDEOTAPE
IN VICTORIA'S FIREPLACE.

[ SIGHS ]

YOU ALL RIGHT?

[ SIGHS ]

YOU DIDN'T HAVE ANY IDEA?

NO.

WHEN'S THE LAST TIME
YOU SPOKE TO VICTORIA?

IT'S BEEN AT LEAST A WEEK.

SINCE YOU SAW HER IN PERSON,
OR ON THE PHONE, TOO?

BOTH.

HELEN, SHE MADE CALLS

FROM HER APARTMENT
TO YOUR CELL PHONE LAST NIGHT.

TWO 5‐MINUTE CALLS.

TELL US WHERE YOU WERE
THIS MORNING.

BREAKFAST WITH A GIRLFRIEND.

HER NUMBER?
WE NEED TO CONFIRM.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

THOSE CALLS FROM VICTORIA‐‐

DID SHE ASK YOU
TO COME OVER THIS MORNING?

I DIDN'T GET
ANY CALLS FROM HER.

THAT'S NOT THE WAY
TO PLAY THIS, HELEN.

EVERYTHING WE'VE GOT
SAYS "SPUR OF THE MOMENT."

THAT'S MANSLAUGHTER.
DON'T GO DOWN FOR MURDER.

[ SCOFFS ]
I DIDN'T MURDER ANYBODY.

DID YOU EVER TALK
TO YOUR SHRINK, DR. BARISH,

ABOUT VICTORIA?

THAT'S BETWEEN ME AND HIM.

WE'LL GET A COURT ORDER

TO DISCLOSE
THAT PRIVILEGED INFORMATION.

THEN, IT'S GONNA BE
BETWEEN ALL OF US.

EVERYTHING YOU'VE SAID
ABOUT VICTORIA IN THE PAST,

ANY SUSPICION YOU HAVE
ABOUT HER AND YOUR HUSBAND,

THAT'LL ALL COME OUT TO A JURY
IN SUPPORT OF A MURDER CHARGE.

SO CLEAR THE FOG, HELEN,

'CAUSE IF YOU THINK
THISIS A CRISIS,

TRY IT IN A COURTROOM!

SHE WAS ALWAYS
A VERY CONFUSED LITTLE GIRL.

SHE SHOWED YOU THE TAPE THIS
MORNING OF HER AND YOUR HUSBAND.

SHE WAS IN RAGS
WHEN WE ADOPTED HER.

RAGS.

AND WE CHANGED HER LIFE.

AND FOR THAT,
SHE SEDUCES MY HUSBAND

AND THREATENS TO TELL THE WORLD

BECAUSE SHE IS
UNABLE TO MAKE

MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS
WITH PEOPLE?

WELCOME TO THE CLUB, HONEY!

SO YOU HIT HER?

I DIDN'T MEAN TO KILL HER.

WE LOOKED INTO IT.

EVERYTHING SUPPORTS
WHAT HE SAID.

SHE HAD TERMINAL CANCER.
SHE WAS DOWN TO 85 POUNDS.

SHE HAD TOLD HER DOCTOR
SHE DIDN'T WANT TO LIVE ANYMORE.

HER HUSBAND'S A DECENT GUY,
AND THIS WAS 20 YEARS AGO.

EVEN IF YOU COULD MAKE IT,

YOU REALLY WANNA GO TO BAT
ON A EUTHANASIA CASE?

NOT PARTICULARLY, NO.

WHAT CAN WE DO?

WE'LL PUT IT
IN FRONT OF THE GRAND JURY.

THEY'LL COME BACK
WITH "NO TRUE BILL."

GOOD.

WHAT ABOUT THE SON?

THE DAD WAS THE COMPLAINANT.

YOU'RE LOOKING
TO CUT HIM SOME SLACK, TOO?

IF WE COULD, YEAH.

VOID THE ARREST, USE MY NAME,
AND WE'LL DECLINE PROSECUTION.

HE'S GOING TO BELLEVUE?

YEAH. HE NEEDS TREATMENT.

LET'S GO TALK TO HIM.

UH, MY DAD IS RETIRING.

WE'RE GETTING TOGETHER
FOR SOME BEERS

AFTER WORK TONIGHT‐‐
JUST A FEW PEOPLE.

IF ANYBODY'S INTERESTED...

Baldwin: WHERE AT?

THIS BAR UP IN HIS PRECINCT.
I'LL GET YOU THE ADDRESS.

I'M THERE.

MICHAEL...

WE TALKED TO YOUR DAD.

WHAT HAPPENED WAS,
YOUR MOM WAS REALLY SICK.

SHE HAD CANCER.

SHE WAS DYING.
DID YOU KNOW THAT?

WAKE UP AT 7:00,
MEDS FIRST THING,

THEN BREAKFAST AT 8:00.

EXERCISE FROM 9:00 TILL 10:00
OUTSIDE.

YOUR DAD PUT YOUR MOM
OUT OF HER PAIN.

THAT'S WHAT YOU SAW.
HE WAS TRYING TO HELP HER.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

LUNCH AT NOON.

THEN, THE DOCTOR ASKS QUESTIONS
AT 1:00.

NAP AT 3:00.

MICHAEL...
WE'RE GONNA BRING YOUR DAD IN.

HE WANTS TO SEE YOU.

DINNER AT 8:00.

ASK NICELY
FOR SECONDS ON PUDDING

IF THEY HAVE PUDDING.

MICHAEL, I KNOW
YOU CAN HEAR ME.

MEDS AT 9:00.
TV FOR AN HOUR.

LET THEM WATCH
WHAT THEY WANNA WATCH.

DON'T ARGUE.

BED AT 11:00.

I LOVE YOU, MICHAEL.

I AM SO SORRY...

BUT YOUR MOM, SHE‐‐
SHE COULDN'T FIGHT IT ANYMORE.

NO WALKING AROUND AT NIGHT.

THAT'S ASKING FOR TROUBLE.

MICHAEL?

MICHAEL?

SHE CAN BREATHE NOW.

YEAH, SHE CAN BREATHE NOW.

ANGELA, IT'S TONY.

ANGELA!

ANGELA!

ANGELA!

IT'S 5:30.
I'M AT YOUR APARTMENT.

WHERE ARE YOU?

HEY.
HEY.

DON'T WORRY, IT'S‐‐
IT'S NOT AS BAD AS IT LOOKS.

[ SIGHS ]

[ CLEARS THROAT ]

I CAN'T FIND MY GAME BOY.

HEY, KIDDO.
HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR NEW ROOM?

I CAN'T FIND MY GAME BOY.

I'M SURE IT'S
IN ONE OF THESE BOXES HERE.

HELP US UNPACK.
WE'LL FIND IT.

I'M UNPACKED IN HERE.

[ SIGHS ]

MR. McDOWELL?

NO. LOOK, YOU GOT
THE DRESSER?

IT'S IN THE TRUCK STILL.

FIRST, I GOTTA GET
THE PACKING FEE.

I PREPAID THIS.

IT'S $200 OVER THE ESTIMATE
'CAUSE IT'S A DELICATE.

[ CLATTER ]

Connie: SORRY.

DELICATE?
IT'S A SOLID‐WOOD DRESSER.

BRING IT UP.

HEY, NO FEE, NO DRESSER.

I DON'T SEEM TO HAVE THE CASH
ON ME RIGHT NOW.

DO YOU MIND TAKING AN IOU?

ALL RIGHT, I GOT IT.
WE'LL GET THE DRESSER.

ANDY, I CAN'T FIND
THE AQUARIUM PUMP.

IT'S EITHER BURIED
UNDER ALL THIS,

OR IT'S IN THEO'S ROOM.

I'LL CHECK THEO'S ROOM.

OKAY.

[ VIDEO GAME BEEPING ]

FOUND THE GAME BOY, HUH?

NEAT, HUH‐‐ YOUR OWN ROOM?

I'M PLAYING.

COULD YOU STOP FOR A SECOND?

YOU OKAY?

FINE.

LOOK, THEO, I KNOW THIS IS
ALL NEW AND EVERYTHING,

BUT YOU GOTTA KEEP YOURSELF
OPEN TO IT.

YOU'RE GONNA LIKE THIS
A LOT BETTER THAN OUR OLD PLACE.

NO, I WON'T.

COME ON, THEO.

I WON'T! I HATE IT!

[ BABY CRYING ]

[ SIGHS ]

DON'T WORRY, OKAY?
EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE FINE.
