Nurse Jackie (2009–2015): Season 4, Episode 8 - Chaud & Froid - full transcript

Previously on Nurse Jackie...

Let's get you divorced.

We need to demonstrate
that Kevin is an unfit custodian.

If I'd wanted a
partner, I'd have one.

That's not what I want.

Well, then what is it?

If I can help, let me help.

Your file is empty.

Shit.

Wait, you're the
friend from rehab?

What did he have?



A Vicodin smoothie for lunch. I
don't know what happened after that.

Gotta wake him up.
His breathing is slow.

Charlie, eyes open.

Come on, stay with me.

Stay with me, Charlie.

Just turn on the water.

Come on, stay with me.

That's hot! I'm sorry!

That's fucking hot!

Jesus, shit. These
knobs are in French.

Come on. Come on,
buddy. Eyes open.

Are you awake?
Come on, eyes alive.

Come on. Sit up, sit up.

You sit up.



Look at me. Talk to me.
Where did you get the drugs?

Let's hold off on the questions.

Back off!

You know, it's hard to get shit.

I don't work at a hospital
fucking a pharmacist.

Where are your towels?

Hi. Hi. They're out.

But I let them watch Dirty
Dancing edited for TV.

No swears, no abortion scene.

Great. Listen, I'm
kind of tied up here.

Are you on a hot date?

Yeah, sure.

The guy's an oil baron.

Oh, my God, I was
kidding. You are?

Can you talk? What's going on?

Listen, can you get the girls
off to school in the morning?

Just tell them I
took a night shift.

On it. Lunches are already made.

All right. Thanks, Zoey.

Want to take another walk around
the apartment, move around a little?

No.

So, what, now
you're on the outside

and it's the whole rehab
cover-for-me buddy system?

How could I possibly know it
was your kid? It's anonymous.

Nobody's covering for anybody.
We met in rehab, we go to AA.

You're pissed. I get it.

You get it?

Great. I'm playing
cards with two addicts.

Well, I am completely sober.

Yeah? Well, good for you.
How come you and not him?

Charlie, honey, is
there any part of you

that's willing to
go back to Wexler?

Come on, how many
times are we gonna do this?

As many times as it takes.

You guys can sort your
shit out. I'm going to bed.

Sit back down.

You need to go back in.

Charlie, your dad
is sitting right here.

I've always told you the truth,

and I'm telling you what
I think you should do.

That's all I got.

Will you go?

Promise me you're
not gonna fire her.

Yes, I promise.

Then, yeah, I'll go.

I don't want to
tell you what to do,

but you might want
to take his phone.

Hey. Give me your phone.

Hey, fourth time's a charm.

It's my fifth.

Fifth time's a charm.
We're getting there.

Yep, me and my
chronic relapse bullshit.

How about you?
How are you doing?

You know, one day at a time.

Hey. What?

You want to hug me?

Yeah.

Don't, okay?

I'll see you on Sunday. I'll
fucking hug you on Sunday.

Why don't you take the train?

Really? I think
it's better that way.

Yeah, you're right.
It's probably faster.

It's hot as balls in here.

You want some fan?

How are you not
sweating? So jealous.

Don't be. Diabetic nerve damage.

Sometimes my sweat
glands don't work. It's a joy.

Still,

I start to sweat when I worry
about people noticing my sweat.

Gloria, can't you do something?

I no longer have the
authority to fix such a problem.

You know what's
great about the train?

You have a chance
to grab a cup of coffee.

Be very careful about
how you talk to me today.

I'm trying to keep
a promise to my kid.

Oil baron.

What are you talking about?

Why is it so hot in here?

You tell me.

You remember the
last time there was

a mandatory drug
screening for the nurses?

Yes. Date?

Um... October 14th. See?

Because I drew
a little cup of pee.

Yeah, I'd like to review
the security footage

for the week of
October 14th, last year.

The ER, yeah.

I've got clearance.

I'm the one who
grants clearance.

Oh, yes, I'm sure that doesn't
line up with your protocol.

We divert to the pharmacy
on three with a Post-it?

If Eddie's going to have
somebody cover the ER,

he's gonna have to
do better than this.

You know, I have a lot of
experience with maintenance,

and I'm sure if I work with them

on this air-conditioning
situation.

Surely there's someone other
than you who can handle this.

I'm sure there is.

Good luck finding them.

Ah.

And again.

Ah.

All right, when did you start
having trouble swallowing?

A week ago.

BP's a little high.
It's 130 over 90.

That's better than
it was yesterday.

Right, Mrs. Zimberger, I think
we should start with a tonsil biopsy.

Just take them,
dear, will you, please?

Beg your pardon?
Just take them out.

You can do that, can't you?

Well, you know,
elective surgeries

aren't usually
covered by insurance.

I'm 87.

I should get to spend my money
the way I want to, don't you think?

I'll check the schedule.

How about a popsicle?

Yeah. I don't like grape, and I
prefer cherry or banana to orange.

But if you only have
orange, that's fine.

Okay.

Make sure the banana
is not lemon-flavored.

Okay. They're both yellow.

Yeah. Yeah.

I'll see what we have.

Thank you.

I think Cruz is
going to fire me.

Why do you say that?

Because he knows about rehab. He
knows more about me than he should.

He's not gonna fire
you for getting treatment.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

Did you go out
and buy that dress?

Yep, the minute I came in here.

I refuse to be more
uncomfortable than I already am.

Oh, by the way,

I've got my scan today.
Any chance you're free later?

Today? No, not
with Cruz on my ass.

Yeah, no. Got it. You've got a
job to keep. Totally understand.

I'm sorry.

It's fine.

What do you got there? Ooh.

Returning her books. That's
sad, man, but a healthy step.

No, it's mine.

Dude, no, no, no.

This is not a time
to Eat, Pray, Love.

This is a time to sleep
with hot yoga instructors.

Look, I know it's a chick book,

but every page I
read is like, "Exactly."

I'm going to Greece. My cousin
lives there. I can stay with him for free.

Bought my ticket.

Hi.

Lenny's going to Greece.

When? You're leaving?

Temporarily.

Not just because of you.

I'm getting a little burned
out on helping people

who usually scream at me.

But how are we going to be
awesome exes if you're not here?

You can be awesome without me.

I thought he was doing better.

Yeah. Well, sometimes you
go to sleep thinking you're okay,

and then you're
like, "Wow, not okay."

Hey. I need security
footage from the HR office.

Yeah, now.

You never witnessed
Jackie Peyton

taking drugs in
front of her children?

Not once? No.

Look, I don't want to be difficult
here, but I'm under oath, right?

Right.

Who initiated the
affair four years ago?

That would be her. She did.

I really don't want to
get into the specifics.

Do we need to know this?

Establishing pattern.

Mr. Walzer, when did she
disclose that she had a family?

Jackie doesn't disclose things.

You find shit out.

Listen, man,

I told you I'd come here and
tell your lawyer what I told you.

I did that.

Can we be done here?

Because I want to
be done with you.

Okay, so I think one is lemon and
one is banana, so I brought you both.

You're a doll.

Mmm.

Banana.

You were with my
husband when he was here.

Oh, God, that's right.

I'm sorry I didn't
remember sooner.

That's all right.
It happens a lot.

We were married for so
long that it's hard for people

to remember me without him.

Mrs. Zimberger, are you sure you
want to go through with this surgery?

Honey, how old are you? 35?

You're sweet.

Well, I'm not 35.

And I tell you,
if I have cancer,

I have no intention
of treating it.

My kids live out on the West
Coast and I miss my husband.

So if I get in there and it turns
out this body can't handle...

I don't know,
what do you call it?

Tonsillectomy. Mmm.

Then maybe it's my time.

Thank you for the popsicle.

So left hip looks good.

I know. Otherwise,
I couldn't do this.

You're cute.

Now, put that away.

So you're a dancer.

I'm on tour with Lady
Gaga. Best job ever.

And then my fucking hip
gives way in rehearsal.

It's fine, right?
Well, it's not good

and I don't think hip
resurfacing's gonna do it,

so we should
discuss replacement.

No, no way. No replacement.

Okay, then no
walking. Call ortho.

Excuse me.

Hey, I know you
had a rough night.

Don't take it out
on everybody here.

"See me."

You believe this shit?

Yeah.

Listen, Kevin's lawyer
deposed me today.

What? You've got
nothing to worry about.

What kind of fucking
character witness am I, really?

I fucked the guy's wife, I
pretended to be friends with him.

Where are you going?
Jackie, listen. Hold on.

Just hold on, okay?

Here's what I didn't tell them.

When I went over there, when
Kevin beat the crap out of me,

the girls were there.

I mean, they were playing
that dance video game,

but they were there
maybe 10 feet away.

There you go.

There's blood in the water
now. Your lawyer, she'll bite.

No, darling, of course
I understand. Yeah.

Yeah.

I've got to dash, all right.

I know.

Did you sound even
more Britishy just then?

My sister.

Your sister? Is she
coming for holiday?

Don't.

She was. She canceled.

Bummer. You sad?

Mmm.

What's that?

Oh, What To Expect
When You're Expecting.

Well, I don't need this. I'm
expecting to have a baby.

No, keep it. I
annotated it for you.

I think the
expectations are yours.

Hey, I don't see you surrounded
by a lot of people right now.

I'm trying to be supportive. But
if you don't need anything, I'll go.

Drink that.

Thought you might need this.

Oh! You're a godsend.

Listen, are you by any chance
free after your shift today?

Nope. Gotta work a
double. Keep hydrating.

Shit.

We've been working with
the DEA and the NYPD

on an internal narcotics
shrinkage investigation,

and I have reason to believe that
you're a big part of my problem.

You've been working
here a long time

and I fully expect
your cooperation,

even after you're fired.

I'm fired?

I left the pharmacy
for three hours today.

It's not about today.

Security is gonna walk you
out of here, but before they do,

you're gonna talk
to a few people.

I've been spending
the whole fucking day

talking to people I
don't want to talk to

about things I don't
want to talk about.

Fine, bring them in.

What am I gonna do, say, "No"?

Ask your questions.

Everybody that I know
who's had a hip replacement

comes out beautifully.

Thanks, but I'm not 80.

Which is why you'll be fine.

Suzanne Farrell, Bebe
Neuwirth, Rudy Galindo,

a bunch of Alvin Ailey dancers.
See? You're in good company.

Seriously?

When I was diagnosed with
type 1, I was all criabetes.

Knowing famous people had
it, too, made me feel better.

I don't know what to do.

You just keep going.

Sometimes you don't get to keep
everything you started out with.

Here.

Shut up. Here.

They're euros. I
think it's, like, $30.

I waited in line at the bank.

Damn it.

Awesome exes.

No matter where you
go, I'll be right here.

So creepy.

I think I'm gonna puke.

Me, too.

I'm so sorry.

I got the tickets
four months ago.

No, Book of Mormon
trumps unborn child, got it.

I just love that you are
walking me to my car.

Oh, ask him.

Just go and watch your
musical and stop making trouble.

Are you done for the day?

Put a fork in me.

Are you doing
anything right now?

No, nothing. Totally free.

Would you be willing to come
to my anatomy scan with me?

Really?

You don't even have to
ask. You know that, right?

I thought you were gonna ask
me to carry something heavy.

I'll get in the front.

We're having a baby!

You wanted to see me?

Yeah. Hey, come
on in. Close the door.

Take a look at this. Come here.

Tell me what I'm looking at.

Uh... A security feed
from six months ago.

That's a hallway.

That's HR.

And that's Gloria Akalitus
dumping your urine specimen.

You don't know
that. I do, actually.

Date, time stamp.
It's all right there.

You can't be surrounded by
people who enabled your habit,

handed you drugs,
covered your tracks.

And I can't have people
like that working for me.

Yeah, okay, well, they also
enabled me to get better.

Please, I know how it looks.

How it is, not how it looks.

Just a minute.

If you're gonna fire
me, then just do it.

I'm not gonna fire you. You're
gonna watch this, though.

Come on in.

You had me paged?
Yeah. Hey, Gloria.

Come on in. Have a seat.

No, Gloria, don't
have a seat. Jackie,

a little respect.

So I've finally figured out
why Jackie doesn't have a file.

This is security footage
from six months ago.

I'm gonna need your badge and
you'll have to leave immediately, today.

We'll figure out a date with
HR for you to come back in,

and pick up your stuff,
have your exit interview.

Your pension will remain intact

because I do, in
fact, have a heart.

You'll be difficult to
replace. I do know that.

Difficult to replace? Really?

Do you have any fucking
idea what you're talking about?

Jackie, it's fine. It's a job.

No, it's not all right.
She's been here 30 years.

Do you know how many
idiots have tried to fire her,

only to realize what
a stupid idea that is?

Many, many have tried.
You're the first to succeed.

Finally.

I've been waiting
for the air all day.

Look, fire me, okay? It
wasn't her, it wasn't Eddie.

That's not a good idea

in the middle of
a custody battle.

He's right.

Gloria, I didn't know.

I didn't say anything.
He just found...

Jackie, I know that.
Let's not do this here.

I will take a few minutes to update
my charts and hand off my patients.

You won't say
anything to anyone.

It's not your news to give. I
don't need any more chaos today.

Understood, Dr. Cruz. You forget
I was an administrator once, too.

To a fresh start.

You can go now.

The snacks are for
the pregnant people.

They said it was fine.

He's not the father.

You told me that already.

So we're going to get started

and then the doctor will
come in and talk to you

after we get a look, okay?

We're both doctors, so it's
like the doctor is already here.

Stop talking.

Oh, my God, I can't look.

Holy shit.

You can see his face.

He looks like an old man
with a beautiful mouth.

Are you looking?
You have to look.

He looks just like you.

I do not look like that.

A little.

Listen,

there is a long list of names
that I run through in my mind

before I even get to yours.

Jackie, my sister,

my neighbor, Joan, who
I've only met three times,

but with whom I feel a
certain kinship. However,

if you wouldn't mind
being fifth in line

to be backup person to be in the
delivery room, that would be fine.

Really?

Never gonna happen. But it could

and that's what counts. I...

Oh, my God, you
can see his spine.

No way. It's on again.

Dirty Dancing.

Have you seen it?

Okay, we're watching this.

I don't know why I'm ringing the
bell. What did you say to my lawyer?

Where are the girls? My
sister's watching them.

You know, if you're gonna
beat the shit out of somebody,

you probably shouldn't
do it in front of the girls.

They didn't see anything.

Your building has security
feeds, security guards.

There's enough there to put it
together without anybody saying a word.

Who are you?

Zoey.

Why are you making that
face? You think this is funny?

No, I'm... No, I'm... I was trying
to look away and not move.

Kevin, you need to leave.

I've got a laundry list of all the
shitty things you've done, okay?

I'm sure you do.
And you know where

we're gonna talk
about it from now on?

At a long, shiny wooden
table at my lawyer's office.

And if you are lucky,
you'll get joint custody.

And you know it.

Nobody wins here, Kevin.
You think we can stop this now?

You know what, babe?

Even when you're
telling the truth,

it sounds like a lie.

Yeah, we can stop.

I think I should find
another place to live.

I think you're a private person

and I'm kind of
worried that if I'm here

and I see things that you're
not used to people seeing,

that you're gonna like me less.

You won't mean to,

but I think that will
happen, you know?

A friend from rehab relapsed
last night, went back into treatment.

I don't want to do that.

You won't.

Please stay?

Okay.
