Nip/Tuck (2003–2010): Season 3, Episode 4 - Rhea Reynolds - full transcript

PREVIOUSLY ON NIP/TUCK...

DID HE RAPE YOU?

NO.

WE'VE GIVEN OUR
LIVES FOR THIS FAMILY.

YOU DON'T HAVE THE
RIGHT TO WALK OUT ON IT.

WATCH ME.

OH, NO.

OH, MY GOD.

TELL ME WHAT YOU DON'T LIKE
ABOUT YOURSELF, MRS. HARKNESS.

MY HUSBAND TREATS
ME LIKE A STRANGER.

WE DO GOOD WORK HERE,
BUT WE CAN'T PROMISE



TO SAVE OUR PATIENTS
FROM INSENSITIVE SPOUSES.

NO, I MEAN IT LITERALLY.

MY HUSBAND HAS ALZHEIMER'S.

HE DOESN'T RECOGNIZE ME ANYMORE.

DO YOU THINK YOU COULD
MAKE ME LOOK LIKE THIS?

THIS IS THE WOMAN HE REMEMBERS,

THE WOMAN HE LOVES.

HE TOOK THAT PHOTO ON OUR
20th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.

DO YOU THINK YOU COULD
MAKE ME LOOK LIKE THIS AGAIN?

MAYBE IT WOULD JOG HIS MEMORY.

HERE'S MY PROBLEM.

IT WOULD TAKE SEVERAL SURGERIES

TO RECREATE THIS FACE,

AND THEY'D ALL HAVE
TO BE DONE AT ONCE



IF YOU'RE RACING AGAINST

YOUR HUSBAND'S
MENTAL DETERIORATION.

WE'D HAVE TO PUT YOU
OUT FOR MANY HOURS,

AND, FRANKLY, WE DON'T
LIKE TO KEEP PATIENTS

YOUR AGE UNDER
ANESTHESIA FOR THAT LONG.

ADDITIONALLY,
AFTER ALL THAT WORK,

YOU STILL RUN THE RISK OF HIS...

OH, I KNOW. I KNOW.

HE... HE MIGHT NOT RECOGNIZE ME.

I'VE BEEN ALL THROUGH THAT.

IT'S WORTH THE RISK.

I NEVER SAID THIS
OUT LOUD BEFORE...

BUT IT'S MY FAULT.

I KNOW IT IS.

HE'S FORGOTTEN ME
BECAUSE I ABANDONED HIM.

MOST OF OUR MARRIAGE,
I WAS ALL ABOUT CARL.

AND THEN, AFTER MENOPAUSE,

I GOT THIS SUDDEN
SURGE OF ENERGY,

AND I JUST STARTED WRITING
THESE LITTLE MURDER MYSTERIES.

AND CARL WAS VERY
SUPPORTIVE OF ME.

HE EVEN READ MY DRAFTS FOR ME,

BUT THEN WHEN HE EXPRESSED
FEELINGS OF MISSING ME,

I WAS PRETTY MUCH,
"DON'T RAIN ON MY PARADE."

AND THEN I CALLED
HOME ONE NIGHT...

I WAS ON A BOOK
TOUR IN LONDON...

AND HE CLAIMED NOT
TO KNOW WHO I WAS.

HE SAID HIS WIFE HAD RUN AWAY...

AND I BECAME ANGRY,

AND I TOLD HIM HIS SENSE OF HUMOR
WAS VERY PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE.

AND THEN, 3 DAYS LATER,

MY SON CALLED AND TOLD
ME THAT THEY FOUND HIM

WANDERING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD

IN HIS PAJAMA BOTTOMS,

FILTHY AND DEHYDRATED,

AND HE COULDN'T REMEMBER
WHICH HOUSE WAS HIS.

AND, BASICALLY,

HE'S NEVER RECOGNIZED ME AGAIN.

I AM SO SORRY.

DOCTOR...

HAVE YOU EVER HURT
ANYONE YOU LOVED

IN SUCH A WAY THAT
DOESN'T EVEN SEEM LIKE YOU?

BUT THEN YOU
CAN'T GO BACK AND...

AND MAKE IT DIFFERENT.

IT'S A KIND OF PAIN I
NEVER COULD'VE IMAGINED.

I DON'T SUPPOSE THERE'S
ANY WAY I CAN CONVINCE YOU

TO COME WITH ME AND MEET HIM,

AND SEE HOW IT IS WITH US?

MRS. HARKNESS, YOU
SEEM LIKE A LOVELY WOMAN,

AND I'M MOVED BY YOUR SITUATION.

IF I COULD CONVINCE MYSELF

IT WAS MEDICALLY SOUND,

I'D DO THE WORK IN A HEARTBEAT.

BUT I CAN'T JUSTIFY
TAKING THAT BIG A RISK

WITH SO LITTLE CERTAINTY.

WELL... THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME

AND YOUR HONESTY.

DR. McNAMARA?

YEAH?

YOU GOT SERVED.

CAN WE JUST ORDER IN?

I'M NOT FEELING
VERY SOCIAL TONIGHT.

LET ME CALL YOU BACK.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

MATT JUST SERVED ME
WITH A RESTRAINING ORDER.

I'M NOT TO CONTACT HIM

OR COME WITHIN 200 YARDS OF HIM.

COMING!

WHERE'S MATT?

I'VE ASKED YOU TO
CALL FIRST, SEAN.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT
THIS RESTRAINING ORDER?

RESTRAINING ORDER?

HE TOOK OUT A GODDAMN
RESTRAINING ORDER AGAINST ME.

DON'T ACT SURPRISED.

HE DIDN'T SAY A WORD TO ME.

BUT, I MEAN, FRANKLY, SEAN,

I'M NOT THAT SURPRISED.

YOU'RE BREAKING THE LAW.

MATT... WE GOTTA
TALK. WE'RE FAMILY.

WE DON'T TREAT EACH
OTHER LIKE CRIMINALS.

WELL, YOU SHOULD'VE
THOUGHT OF THAT

BEFORE YOU ACTED LIKE ONE.

OR DIDN'T YOU KNOW
IT WAS AGAINST THE LAW

TO BEAT YOUR CHILDREN.

I CAME TO APOLOGIZE.

MATT, I LIE IN BED AT NIGHT

RELIVING THAT
MOMENT WHEN I HIT YOU.

SOCIAL SERVICES TOLD ME
YOU'D PROBABLY SHOW UP

AND TRY TO MANIPULATE ME

INTO DROPPING THE CHARGES.

THEY ALSO SAID
THAT IF YOU DO THAT,

I SHOULD REPORT YOU.

THEY SAID THESE EVENTS
ARE NEVER ISOLATED,

AND YOU KNOW
WHAT? THEY'RE RIGHT.

I TOLD THEM HOW YOU
ALMOST CHOKED MOM

WHEN SHE TOLD YOU ABOUT
CHRISTIAN BEING MY FATHER.

HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT?

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?

DID YOU TELL THEM ABOUT
YOUR OWN VIOLENCE, MATT?

YOU THINK YOU CAN
IGNORE YOUR OWN BEHAVIOR

BY DEMONIZING ME?

CUTTING ME OUT OF YOUR LIFE?

THAT'S ANOTHER THING THEY SAID.

ABUSERS ALWAYS
TRY TO MAKE YOU THINK

THAT THEY'RE THE VICTIM.

YEAH, HI. I'D LIKE TO
REPORT SOMEBODY

WHO'S IN VIOLA...

I THINK YOU SHOULD GO NOW, SEAN.

I'M HERE TO... PLEASE...

IT DOESN'T MATTER
WHY YOU CAME HERE.

THIS IS ABOUT MATT.

YOU NEED TO LEAVE NOW, SEAN.

THIS IS VINDICTIVE.

LOOK, I UNDERSTAND YOUR PAIN.

BUT UNTIL YOU CAN EXPRESS IT

WITHOUT FRIGHTENING US,
YOU'RE NOT WELCOME HERE.

THIS IS MACHIAVELLIAN BULLSHIT!

YOU'RE JUST SETTING ME UP

TO GET SOLE CUSTODY OF THE KIDS.

YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME

ABOUT THE RESTRAINING ORDER.

REMIND ME, WHY DO WE BOTHER

TO REPAIR HER WHEN SHE'S ONLY

GONNA CUT HERSELF ALL OVER AGAIN

WHEN BIKINI SEASON IS OVER?

I DATED A WOMAN WHO
WAS INTO SELF-INJURY.

SHE SAID SHE FELT SOME
KIND OF RELEASE AFTERWARDS.

RELEASE FROM WHAT?

EMOTIONAL PAIN, IN HER CASE.

HER FATHER WAS
AN ABUSIVE BASTARD.

MAKES A WEIRD POETIC
KIND OF SENSE TO ME.

YOU TREAT ONE KIND
OF PAIN WITH ANOTHER.

EXTERNAL INJURIES
ARE MANAGEABLE.

I MEAN, THEY CAN BE
SEEN AND TREATED,

WHEREAS EMOTIONAL PAIN
IS ELUSIVE AND SHAPELESS.

IS THIS SURGERY OR OPEN MIC
NIGHT AT THE LESBIAN COFFEE BAR?

UM, I THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW.

THERE'S BEEN
ANOTHER CARVER VICTIM.

SHE JUST CALLED. I
PUT HER ON THE BOOKS.

I REFERRED THE CARVER
VICTIM TO IAN SAKS.

I POLITELY EXPLAINED THAT WE
HAD HANDLED OUR SHARE OF CASES,

AND THAT HE DOES VERY GOOD WORK.

THAT'S PROBABLY FOR THE BEST.

YOU KNOW, IT'S OCCURRED TO ME

THAT WE HAVEN'T REALLY
TALKED SINCE THE BEACH.

HOW'S THE COUNSELING GOING?

HOW ARE YOU FEELING ABOUT
THAT RESTRAINING ORDER?

I FEEL SHITTY AND PRETTY
GODDAMN HOPELESS. YOUR TURN.

I DIDN'T TAKE THE
COUNSELING ROUTE, SEAN.

I'VE BEEN FINE.

EXCEPT FOR SOME PHYSICAL ISSUES

I THOUGHT WOULD ABATE OVER TIME.

ANYWAY, I HOPE
THEY FIND HIM SOON.

WHAT KIND OF PHYSICAL ISSUES?

DON'T WE HAVE A
BRACHIOPLASTY IN 30 MINUTES?

YOU HAVEN'T ANSWERED
THE QUESTION.

MY ASSHOLE IS KILLING ME, OK?

IT HURTS WHEN I STAND,
WHEN I SIT, WHEN I SHIT.

IN FACT, IT HURTS JUST
ABOUT ALL THE TIME.

GLAD YOU ASKED?

HAVE YOU SEEN A PROCTOLOGIST?

YOU'RE STILL THE ONLY
ONE THAT KNOWS, SEAN.

THEN LET ME EXAMINE YOU.

I THINK THAT PRETTY MUCH
DEFINES THE WORD "INAPPROPRIATE."

WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?

WHAT PART OF YOU BEING OR
HAVING AN ASSHOLE COULD SHOCK ME?

BREATHE OUT, CHRISTIAN.

I DON'T SEE ANYTHING AT ALL.

NO FISSURES? NO...

NOT EVEN HEMORRHOIDS?

NOTHING.

I'M NOT AN EXPERT, BUT, UH...

MY GUESS IS THAT THIS IS
SOME KIND OF PHANTOM PAIN.

WHO DO YOU CALL
FOR PHANTOM PAIN?

GHOSTBUSTERS?

EMOTIONAL TRAUMA CAN BE
EXPERIENCED AS PHYSICAL PAIN.

THAT'S NOT JUST NEW
AGE MUMBO JUMBO.

IN OTHER WORDS, IF I
EMBRACE MY INNER PAIN,

MY PAIN IN THE ASS WILL GO AWAY.

I'VE BEEN DREADING
THE INEVITABLE MOMENT

WHEN I'D HEAR ABOUT
THE NEXT VICTIM.

HOW WOULD I FEEL?
WOULD I COME APART?

AND NOW HERE SHE IS,

NEEDING TO BE
HEALED JUST LIKE ME.

AND I'M AVOIDING IT.

I THINK THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY.

I WANT TO TREAT HER.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT.

IT'S EXACTLY WHAT I NEED.

IF I HELP HER THROUGH HER
PAIN, I CAN EXPERIENCE MY OWN.

LET IT GO.

I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING WE
BOTH NEED TO WORK ON, SEAN.

PICK UP THE PHONE, MATT.

PLEASE.

DON'T PRETEND I'M NOT HERE.

WE HAVE TO TALK.

THIS IS THE WRONG WAY TO...

I'VE BEEN TO SEE 3
OTHER SURGEONS.

THEY ALL TURNED ME DOWN.

I CAME BACK TO YOU BECAUSE I KNOW
YOU ARE AN UNDERSTANDING SOUL.

I AM VERY SYMPATHETIC,
MRS. HARKNESS...

COME WITH ME TO MEET CARL.

NO PROMISES.

JUST AN HOUR OUT OF YOUR LIFE

THAT MIGHT CHANGE
MINE COMPLETELY.

CARL? YOU HAVE VISITORS.

HI, SWEETHEART. I BROUGHT
SOMEBODY TO MEET YOU.

THIS IS DR. SEAN McNAMARA.

THIS IS CARL.

GOOD TO MEET YOU, CARL.

WOULD YOU JOIN US OVER HERE?

HAS HE EATEN ANYTHING TODAY?

NO, AND IF HE DOESN'T
START EATING SOON,

WE'RE GONNA HAVE
TO PUT HIM ON AN I.V.

WE DON'T WANNA DO
THAT, DO WE, CARL?

CARL? I BROUGHT
YOU A GUAVA PASTRY.

YOU LOOK WORRIED, CARL.

I DON'T KNOW HER.

CARL, I'M YOUR WIFE ELLIE,
AND I COME EVERY DAY,

AND TODAY I'VE BROUGHT YOU
YOUR FAVORITE PASTRY FROM ALBA'S.

REMEMBER ALBA'S? WE USED
TO WALK THERE EVERY DAY,

AND WE'D GET A CORTADITO
AND A GUAVA PASTRY.

I JUST KEEP TRYING.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO.

CARL, YOUR WIFE
WORRIES ABOUT YOU.

SHE WANTS YOU TO EAT MORE
SO YOU KEEP YOUR STRENGTH UP.

DO YOU KNOW MY WIFE?

SHE'S THE LOVE OF MY LIFE.

SHE NEVER COMES TO SEE ME.

YOU MUST BE VERY LONELY
WITHOUT YOUR FAMILY, CARL.

JUST ONE LITTLE BITE,
SWEETHEART. COME ON.

IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME, YOU TWO.
I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF A MOVIE.

I'M SO GRATEFUL YOU TOOK ME ON.

IT'S THE LEAST WE
COULD DO, MS. REYNOLDS.

SORRY. DR. McNAMARA
HAD ANOTHER APPOINTMENT,

AND HE ASKED ME TO SIT IN.

HI, I'M DR. COSTA.

I WAS JUST TELLING DR. TROY

HOW YOU'VE ALL BEEN SO AMAZING IN
THE WORK YOU'VE DONE ON THE VICTIMS.

OH, WELL, THAT IS THE DIRTY
LITTLE SECRET WE DOCTORS SHARE.

IT FEELS GOOD TO HELP OTHERS.

OH, I COULDN'T AGREE MORE.

AFTER I GAVE MY
STATEMENT TO THE POLICE,

I PICKED UP THE PHONE
AND I CALLED STAND-UP.

YOU KNOW, THE
VICTIMS' RIGHTS GROUP?

YOU'VE HEARD OF THEM?

YES, OF COURSE.

THEY DO SUCH GOOD WORK.

ANYWAY, A LADY CAME RIGHT OVER.

SHE STAYED WITH ME ALL NIGHT.

SHE HERSELF HAD
BEEN BRUTALLY STABBED

BY HER HUSBAND 16 TIMES,

SO SHE KNEW HOW TO RELATE TO ME.

HOW FORTUNATE.

SHE TOLD ME THIS QUOTE.

"VICTIMS ARE BUT LITTLE
LOWER THAN THE ANGELS."

SHE WAS SAYING WE DON'T
NEED TO BE DESTROYED SOULS,

THAT GOD HAS CHOSEN US,

GIVEN US AN OPPORTUNITY
TO COME BACK STRONGER,

MORE COMPASSIONATE
THAN EVER BEFORE.

I THINK THIS ATTACK MAY
HAVE BEEN THE MIRACLE

I'VE BEEN LOOKING
FOR ALL MY LIFE.

MIRACLE?

IT GAVE ME PURPOSE.

AFTER YOU FIX ME, I'M GOING
TO TAKE THE TRAINING PROGRAM,

AND DEDICATE MY LIFE
TO HELPING OTHER PEOPLE.

A WORD OF ADVICE, MS. REYNOLDS.

DON'T QUIT YOUR JOB BEFORE
YOU'VE LANDED BACK ON PLANET EARTH.

I'M SORRY.

HAVE I OFFENDED YOU, DR. TROY?

NO, I'M JUST UNCOMFORTABLE

WITH ALL THIS
TRANSFORMATIONAL RHETORIC.

IT FEELS LIKE YOU'RE
AVOIDING SOMETHING.

I'M AVOIDING HELPLESSNESS.

I'M AFRAID MY
COLLEAGUE PLAYED HOOKY

DURING THE BEDSIDE MANNER
COURSE IN MED SCHOOL.

MS. REYNOLDS, SHALL WE
MOVE ON TO THE SURGERY?

BASED ON YOUR CARDIO WORK-UP,

5 HOURS IS THE MAXIMUM
TIME I WANT YOU UNDER.

SO I'VE CHOSEN THESE PROCEDURES

FOR OPTIMUM RESULTS
IN A LIMITED TIME FRAME.

ARE YOU SURE YOU
WANT TO HEAR ALL THIS?

I'D SAY 90% OF OUR PATIENTS
PREFER TO REMAIN IN THE DARK.

THIS SURGERY IS MY LIFE
NOW. I THRIVE ON EVERY DETAIL.

OK.

WE START WITH THE FAT DEPOSITS
AND SKIN OVER THE EYELIDS.

WE WON'T TAKE OUT ALL OF IT

SINCE WE KNOW FROM THE PHOTO
YOU'VE ALWAYS HAD SLIGHTLY HOODED EYES.

♪ ONCE UPON A TIME,
THERE WAS A TAVERN... ♪

WE'LL JUST CUT ALONG
THE LOOSE SKIN HERE.

MY PRADA BAGS, AS MY
DAUGHTER-IN-LAW CALLS THEM.

♪ REMEMBER HOW WE
LAUGHED AWAY THE HOURS ♪

♪ AND DREAMED OF ALL THE
GREAT THINGS WE WOULD DO ♪

♪ THOSE WERE THE ♪

THAT LEAVES US ABOUT 3 HOURS AND
15 MINUTES FOR YOUR RHYTIDECTOMY.

♪ WE'D LIVE THE LIFE WE CHOOSE ♪

RHYTIDECTOMY SOUNDS
LIKE A WILD ANIMAL IN AFRICA.

NOT QUITE. IT'S YOUR FACELIFT.

AFTER THE INCISION, WE
USE A TISSUE EXPANDER

AND THEN, MY FAVORITE

WE USE BLOOD WE'VE
TAKEN FROM YOU EARLIER,

I HOLD IT IN PLACE

ANY QUESTIONS?

JUST ONE.

ARE YOU THIS KIND
TO ALL YOUR PATIENTS?

YOU ASKED ME IF I EVER
HURT SOMEONE CLOSE TO ME

IN A WAY I DEEPLY REGRET.

I'M LIKE YOU.

I WANNA BELIEVE IN
SECOND CHANCES.

MS. REYNOLDS, BEFORE I
SEND YOU OFF TO SURGERY,

I... OWE YOU AN APOLOGY.

BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE ME?

I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST
YOU. YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE A CONTRIBUTION

TO YOUR VICTIMS'
RIGHTS ORGANIZATION.

THANK YOU.

I ALSO FEEL AN OBLIGATION TO...

TELL YOU THE TRUTH
ABOUT SOMETHING.

I WAS ALSO A VICTIM
OF THE CARVER.

OH, GOD.

I HAD NO IDEA.

LISTENING TO YOUR STORY
WAS DIFFICULT FOR ME.

IT WAS HARD FOR ME TO ACCEPT

HOW REMARKABLY YOU'VE
DEALT WITH YOUR ATTACK,

WHEN I'M STILL RESENTFUL AND
STRUGGLING WITH RESIDUAL ISSUES.

I WAS HARSH, AND I'M SORRY.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

I DON'T THINK I
CAN TALK ABOUT IT.

WOULD YOU MIND IF
WE DON'T TALK ABOUT IT?

I'M SORRY, I THOUGHT YOU SAID

TALKING ABOUT IT
MADE YOU FEEL BETTER.

IT'S JUST WHEN I START
TO TALK ABOUT IT, I FEEL...

REALLY SICK.

UM, I FEEL FOR YOUR
PAIN, YOU KNOW?

BUT I HAVE TO TAKE
CARE OF MYSELF.

I'M ABOUT TO GO
INTO SURGERY HERE.

I CAN'T GET ALL EMOTIONAL.

OF COURSE.

NOW, ABOUT MY FACE,

I WANTED TO ASK YOU
SOMETHING ABOUT MY NOSE.

I'VE ALWAYS HATED IT.

DO YOU THINK YOU
COULD MAKE IT PRETTIER,

SINCE I'M GONNA BE UNDER ANYWAY?

AFTER EVERYTHING
YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH,

I'D SAY A RHINOPLASTY IS
THE LAST THING YOU NEED.

WHAT ABOUT MY LIPS? COULD
WE PLUMP THEM UP OR SOMETHING?

MS. REYNOLDS,

I THINK WE SHOULD
DISCUSS ELECTIVE SURGERY

AT A LATER DATE.

DADDY, WHY DO THEY
CALL IT "HIGH TEA"?

I DON'T KNOW, SWEETHEART.
WE'LL HAVE TO ASK THE WAITER.

GOOD AFTERNOON. WE'RE
FROM FAMILY SERVICES.

I'M MS. JAMES, THIS IS MR. RISKIN.
ARE YOU MR. McNAMARA?

DR. McNAMARA.
HOW CAN I HELP YOU?

WELL, WE RECEIVED A CALL FROM ONE
OF OUR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CENTERS

REPORTING AN INCIDENT
INVOLVING YOU AND YOUR SON.

THIS ISN'T A GOOD TIME. MY
DAUGHTER AND I ARE ON OUR WAY OUT.

WHEN ONE OF THESE
REPORTS COME IN,

WE'RE REQUIRED BY LAW TO
QUESTION OTHER FAMILY CHILDREN.

WE'LL NEED TO SPEAK
WITH YOUR DAUGHTER.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

ANNE KATHERINE McNAMARA.

HOW'S YOUR HEARING?
NOW'S NOT A GOOD TIME.

NOW IS THE ONLY TIME,
MISTER... DR. McNAMARA.

WE NEED TO DETERMINE WHETHER
OR NOT ACTION HAS TO BE TAKEN.

ACTION? WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT? WHAT ACTION?

WE NEED TO DETERMINE
WHETHER OR NOT

YOUR DAUGHTER IS AT
RISK BY STAYING WITH YOU,

SO IT WOULD BE HELPFUL
IF YOU COOPERATE.

WHERE IS A GOOD PLACE FOR YOUR
DAUGHTER AND I TO SPEAK PRIVATELY?

SWEETHEART, YOU AND MS.
JAMES GO INTO MY BEDROOM.

IT'S OK.

DOES YOUR DADDY
EVER GET MAD, ANNE?

DOES IT FRIGHTEN YOU?

OF COURSE, I GET
ANGRY. DON'T YOU?

IS GETTING ANGRY
AGAINST THE LAW?

ANNE, I'M GONNA HAVE TO CHECK
YOUR BODY FOR BRUISES NOW.

I TOLD YOU HE
NEVER HIT ME! NEVER!

YOUR SON SAID YOU
ALMOST KILLED YOUR WIFE.

HE SAYS THERE'S A DENT

IN THE REFRIGERATOR
DOOR WHERE HER HEAD HIT IT.

TELL ME ABOUT THAT.

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING
TO PROVE HERE?

HOW'D YOU GET THIS BRUISE, ANNE?

PLAYING SOCCER.

DON'T! THAT HURTS!

OW! STOP!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING
TO MY DAUGHTER?!

I TOLD HER YOU
DIDN'T HIT ME, DADDY.

SHE HAS A CONTUSION
ON HER LEFT THIGH,

HER RIGHT SHIN, AND A
SCAB BY HER RIGHT ELBOW.

SHE PLAYS SOCCER, YOU MORON!

YOU GET YOUR HANDS
OFF MY DAUGHTER,

YOU GET OUT OF MY
HOUSE! BOTH OF YOU!

I'M AFRAID IT'S NOT GONNA
BE THAT EASY, DR. McNAMARA.

HOW'D THE APOLOGY GO?

SHE'S LYING. SHE MADE
THE WHOLE THING UP.

RHEA REYNOLDS IS NOT
A VICTIM OF THE CARVER.

WHAT ARE YOU
SUGGESTING, HER CAT DID IT?

MY BEST GUESS?

IT'S A UNIQUE PRESENTATION
OF MUNCHAUSEN'S SYNDROME.

SHE DID IT TO HERSELF
TO GET ATTENTION.

MUNCHAUSEN'S.

AND YOU WOULD
KNOW THIS BECAUSE...

BECAUSE SHE ASKED
ME TO DO HER NOSE.

WELL, I WOULDN'T CALL
THAT MUNCHAUSEN'S.

I WOULD CALL THAT
REALISTIC SELF-ASSESSMENT.

I THINK WE SHOULD DO IT.

YOU DON'T GET IT.

"BEAUTY IS A CURSE
ON THE WORLD."

THAT'S WHAT THE CARVER
SAYS TO HIS VICTIMS.

HE'S LOOKING TO DEFACE BEAUTY.

SHE DOESN'T HAVE AN
ATTRACTIVE FEATURE ANYWHERE.

HAVE YOU CALLED KIT
ABOUT YOUR THEORY?

DETECTIVE McGRAW IS NO
LONGER ON MY SPEED DIAL.

CHRISTIAN,

JUST BECAUSE SHE ISN'T
FEELING THE SAME PAIN AS YOURS

DOESN'T MEAN HERS
ISN'T LEGITIMATE.

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

I'LL LET FRIC AND
FRAC FILL YOU IN.

HELLO, MRS. McNAMARA.

LYNN JAMES, CHILD
PROTECTIVE SERVICES.

AS YOUR HUSBAND MENTIONED
TO YOU ON THE PHONE,

WE CAME BY TODAY TO
TALK TO YOUR DAUGHTER.

IT'S MANDATED BY YOUR
SON'S RESTRAINING ORDER.

WHERE THERE'S BEEN
VIOLENCE IN A HOME,

WE WANNA MAKE SURE THERE
AREN'T ANY OTHER CHILDREN

WHO ARE BEING VICTIMIZED.

BUT YOU DIDN'T FIND
ANY VICTIMS HERE,

SO WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?

WELL, WE DETERMINED
THAT YOUR DAUGHTER'S

SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECTED BY
HER FATHER'S ANGER PROBLEM.

I NEVER SAID THAT!

I ASSURE YOU, MRS. McNAMARA,

WE ARE TRAINED TO DETECT
SUBTLETIES AND UNSPOKEN FEARS.

UH, GO GET YOUR
STUFF, SWEETHEART.

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO PUT
OUR DAUGHTER THROUGH THIS.

SHE HAS NO FEARS,
UNSPOKEN OR OTHERWISE.

SOMETIMES IT'S HARD TO SEE THESE
THINGS WHEN YOU'RE CLOSE TO THEM.

IT'S OUR JOB TO
PROTECT THE CHILDREN.

YOU ALREADY SAID THAT.

EXCUSE ME, BUT DO EITHER
OF YOU EVEN HAVE CHILDREN?

HERE'S THE BOTTOM LINE.

UNTIL MR. McNAMARA COMPLETES
A COURSE IN ANGER MANAGEMENT,

OR THE RESTRAINING ORDER
IS MAGICALLY RESCINDED,

ANNE MUST NOT BE
LEFT ALONE WITH HIM.

I REALLY CAN'T BELIEVE THIS.

EASY, JULIA. CAN'T
HAVE 2 VIOLENT PARENTS.

SAY GOOD-BYE TO
DADDY, SWEETHEART.

I DIDN'T SAY
ANYTHING BAD, DADDY.

YOU BELIEVE ME, RIGHT?

IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT, BABY.

WILL THERE BE MUCH
PAIN AFTERWARDS?

'CAUSE AFTER WHAT
THAT MONSTER DID TO ME...

I DON'T KNOW HOW
MUCH MORE I CAN STAND.

I THINK IT'S SAFE TO SAY THAT YOU'LL
ONLY BE MILDLY UNCOMFORTABLE, OK?

COUNT BACKWARDS
FROM 10 FOR ME, OK, RHEA?

10, 9, 8...

CHANGE OF HEART, DOCTOR?

THIS IS STILL McNAMARA/TROY.

HOWEVER THEY WERE CAUSED,

THIS PATIENT'S SCARS
NEED TO BE ADDRESSED.

AAH!

ELLIE? WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I GOT ANXIOUS.

WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?

I DON'T KNOW. I JUST WOKE UP

AND ALL I COULD THINK
ABOUT WAS HOW MANY DAYS

I'D HAVE TO BE AWAY FROM CARL.

SO YOU THOUGHT YOU'D MAKE
TIME FLY BY RIPPING OUT YOUR JUT?

YOU'VE TORN SOME
OF YOUR STITCHES OUT.

THERE'S A HEALING
PHASE. IT'S CRUCIAL.

YOU CAN'T JUST SKIP
TO THE GOOD PART.

LIFE ISN'T LIKE THAT.

I'VE BEEN FIGHTING TIME SO LONG.

IT JUST SUDDENLY
GOT THE BEST OF ME.

OH, I'M SO EMBARRASSED.

HOW BADLY HAVE I SCREWED
UP YOUR BEAUTIFUL WORK?

I CAN FIX IT.

BUT AM I GONNA HAVE TO
PUT YOU ON A 24-HOUR WATCH?

AM I JUST FULL OF DRUGS,
OR DIDN'T YOU TELL ME

YOU WERE GONNA SPEND
TODAY WITH YOUR DAUGHTER?

IT'S, UM...

DIFFICULT WITH MY
FAMILY AT THE MOMENT.

I GUESS IT'LL TAKE
A WHILE TO HEAL.

THE REAL PAIN IS IN
THE WAITING, ISN'T IT?

THAT LOOKS THAT WAY.

Rhea, thinking: MY TOES
ARE COLD. I CAN FEEL 'EM.

WHEN DOES THE
ANESTHESIA KICK IN?

W-W-WAIT! WAIT A
MINUTE! THAT BURNS.

WHY AM I FEELING THIS?

CHECK IT OUT.

Rhea, thinking: AHH, OH, MY GOD!

WHAT ARE YOU
DOING?! STOP! PLEASE!

IT ISN'T A CLEAN CUT.

THERE'S AVULSION OF THE
UNDERLYING TISSUE AND MACERATION.

I CAN FEEL THIS!

JESUS.

THIS MUST'VE BEEN DONE
WITH A SERRATED KNIFE.

STOP! PLEASE!

Quentin: YOU'RE
GONNA HAVE TO EXCISE

A WIDER MARGIN OF
TISSUE TO GET RID

OF THOSE JAGGED EDGES.

THE CARVER NEVER USED
A SERRATED KNIFE BEFORE,

DID HE? I THOUGHT
HE LIKED PRECISION.

I TOLD YOU, SHE
DID THIS TO HERSELF.

LOOKS LIKE SHE USED
A GRAPEFRUIT KNIFE.

WHO CARES WHAT
IT WAS, SHITHEAD?!

STOP! I CAN FEEL IT!

I CAN FEEL THE PAIN!

I CAN'T TAKE IT! I
CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!

STOP! PLEASE!

I CAN FEEL THIS!

I CAN... STOP! I CAN FEEL IT!

I CAN FEEL THE PAIN!

AAAAHH!

AAAAAAH!

AAAAAAH!

I'M REPRESENTING MS. REYNOLDS IN
HER SUIT AGAINST McNAMARA/TROY.

SHE WAS TRAUMATIZED DURING
HER SURGERY, AND SHE CALLED ME.

I DO PRO BONO WORK FOR STAND-UP.

TRAUMATIZED IN WHAT SENSE?

I TOLD YOU, I FELT THE
WHOLE THING. EVERY SECOND.

MY CLIENT DIDN'T RECEIVE PROPER
ANESTHESIA DURING HER PROCEDURE.

SHE WAS AWAKE
DURING THE OPERATION.

THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE.

SHE CLAIMS SHE WAS PARALYZED

AND UNABLE TO
COMMUNICATE WITH YOU.

SHE'S LYING. SHE
DOES THAT A LOT.

MY CLIENT HAS NO
REASON TO LIE, DR. TROY.

SHE'S CLEARLY SUFFERING FROM
POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER

AND IS THUS ENTITLED
TO FINANCIAL RESTITUTION

FOR THE PAIN AND SUFFERING
INFLICTED ON HER ON THESE PREMISES.

YOUR CLIENT IS NOT
JUST A LIAR, MR. BAERWITZ,

SHE IS A FOUNTAIN OF
GRISLY, INSANE FABRICATIONS.

I AM ONTO YOU.

YOU JUST WANT OUR MONEY SO YOU
CAN RUN OFF AND BOOK THAT NOSE JOB

AND THAT BREAST AUGMENTATION
THAT YOU'VE BEEN DYING FOR.

LET ME BE CLEAR.

WE WILL NOT GIVE YOU ONE DIME.

YOU HATE ME.

YOU'VE ALWAYS HATED ME.

EXCUSE ME. MS.
REYNOLDS, WHY DON'T YOU...

PLEASE, JUST TELL US
IN YOUR OWN WORDS

WHAT YOU EXPERIENCED
DURING THE SURGERY.

HE DID IT TO ME BECAUSE HE
WANTS EVERYONE TO SUFFER

JUST LIKE HE DID.
HE ADMITTED IT.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S JUST TRY TO
REMAIN AS RATIONAL AS WE CAN HERE.

LET'S JUST STICK WITH
THE FACTS. ALL OF US.

HERE ARE THE FACTS, DOCTOR.

I WAS LYING THERE AWAKE
AND COMPLETELY PARALYZED

WHILE YOU TWO EXCISED
A WIDER MARGIN OF TISSUE.

DOES THAT SOUND FAMILIAR?

IT FELT LIKE YOU WERE
TEARING MY FACE APART.

WE'LL CHECK THE STATS
WITH OUR ANESTHESIOLOGIST,

CONFER WITH OUR LAWYER,
AND GET BACK TO YOU.

THIS ISN'T GOING AWAY
BECAUSE YOU WANT IT TO, DOCTOR.

YOU WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

AND WHAT ABOUT YOUR CLIENT?

BRAYING TO THE MEDIA ABOUT
WOUNDS SHE INFLICTED ON HERSELF,

MOCKING THE PAIN
OF THE REAL VICTIMS.

I WAS A VICTIM HERE.
I FELT MY SURGERY.

TO DO WHAT YOU'VE DONE,
YOU COULDN'T FEEL ANYTHING.

CHRISTIAN. CHRIS... I FELT IT.

THE ONLY THING YOU FEEL IS
THE GLARE OF THE LIMELIGHT

YOU THINK WILL VALIDATE
YOUR OWN EXISTENCE!

YOU SAID I USED A
GRAPEFRUIT KNIFE,

BUT I DIDN'T! I USED
A BREAD KNIFE.

AND THAT PAIN WAS NOTHING
COMPARED TO HOW I FELT ON YOUR TABLE.

I COULDN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE.

BEING INVISIBLE, LIKE A GHOST.

I COULDN'T STAND WALKING
INTO A BAR ONE MORE TIME

AND SITTING DOWN AND
HAVING NO ONE EVEN LOOK AT ME.

IT'S NOT LIKE THEY
THINK I'M UGLY.

IT'S LIKE I'M JUST NOT THERE.

THAT'S WHAT REALLY
HURTS MORE THAN ANYTHING.

SO, YEAH.

CUTTING MY FACE DID HURT...

BUT IT ALSO FELT SO GOOD LATER,

ON THIS OTHER LEVEL.

PEOPLE WERE SO
UNBELIEVABLY KIND TO ME

WHEN THEY THOUGHT I
WAS A CARVER VICTIM.

EXCEPT FOR YOU.

WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO
MAKE ME SUFFER LIKE THAT?

Woman on TV: LET MET
GET YOU ANOTHER DRINK.

WE'LL WALK OVER TOGETHER.

AND IF THINGS GO AS WE
HOPE, I WILL DISAPPEAR.

THE HAIR'S NOT TOO MUCH?

ELLIE, YOU LOOK
BEAUTIFUL. INSIDE AND OUT.

HELLO, CARL.

HELLO.

YOU'RE VERY PRETTY.

DO I KNOW YOU?

MY MEMORY'S NOT VERY GOOD.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME AGAIN?

I'M ELLIE.

ELLIE?

THIS IS MY GIRLFRIEND, TRUDY.

PLEASED TO MEET YOU, TRUDY.

Trudy: HELLO.

IF IT WOULD BE ANY
COMFORT AT ALL,

I WOULD BE TRULY HONORED
TO HAVE DINNER WITH YOU.

THANK YOU.

BUT I'M GONNA STAY HERE AND...

VISIT WITH CARL AND TRUDY.

JESUS, MATT, YOU SCARED THE...

I CAME BY TO TELL YOU THAT I
STOPPED BY THE COURTHOUSE TODAY

AND RESCINDED THE
RESTRAINING ORDER.

THANK YOU, MATT.

YOU MADE THE RIGHT DECISION.

YOU WON'T BE
SORRY, I PROMISE YOU.

A TOAST...

TO DéTENTE?

I DID IT FOR MOM.

YOU AND ME...

WE'RE PRETTY MUCH DONE.

COME BACK HERE, MATT.

WHY?

SO YOU CAN HIT ME AGAIN?

NO.

YOU HIT ME.

COME ON.

COME BACK HERE AND
GIVE ME YOUR BEST SHOT.

PAIN FOR PAIN.

THEN WE'LL BE EVEN.

COME ON. HIT ME.

I'M BEGGING YOU.

YOU'RE VERY SAD.

I THOUGHT I MIGHT FIND YOU HERE.

THE BOTTLE OF DIPRIVAN
THAT I USED ON RHEA REYNOLDS

HAS DISAPPEARED INTO THE GREATER
DADE COUNTY SANITATION SYSTEM,

BUT I AM SENDING THE BATCH THAT
IT'S FROM TO THE LAB FOR ANALYSIS.

WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT, LIZ.

BEFORE OR AFTER
SHE GOES TO THE MEDIA,

AND MY MISTAKE BANKRUPTS WHAT YOU
AND SEAN HAVE SPENT A LIFETIME BUILDING?

I WANT YOU TO SUSPEND ME

UNTIL THE LAB TESTS COME BACK.

WHY?

BECAUSE THEN AT LEAST IT
APPEARS WE'RE TAKING SOME ACTION.

IT GIVES THE APPEARANCE OF A
RESPONSIBLE INTERNAL INVESTIGATION,

WHICH IS WHAT WE
NEED TO DO, CHRISTIAN.

YOU WANT TO HELP BOTH OF US?

TEST IT ON ME.

IF ANYBODY KNOWS WHAT IT'S LIKE

TO BE PARALYZED AND
STILL HAVE FEELINGS,

IT'S ME.

I CAN'T DO THAT, CHRISTIAN.

YES, YOU CAN.

I COULD USE A FEW
MOMENTS OF OBLIVION.
