Ringer (2011–2012): Season 1, Episode 8 - Maybe We Can Get a Dog Instead? - full transcript

My name is Bridget.

I witnessed a murder.

Just get up on the stand and
tell the judge what you saw,

- and we'll protect you.
- You don't get it.

Bodaway wants me dead, I'm dead.

I ran to my sister,
Siobhan, for help.

Siobhan? Siobhan!

Siobhan killed herself,
and I assumed her identity.

It was so easy.

I saw a way out, and I took it.

They all think that I'm her.



Her husband.

The doctor's gonna check on the baby.

What?

Her stepdaughter.

Siobhan has a twin sister.

Oh, God.

There's two of them?

- Her lover.
- That baby is ours.

- Her best friend.
- It's ridiculous.

Aren't you supposed to be pregnant,
for crying out loud?

The only person I can trust.

I know you've been
in contact with Mr. Ward.

Well, he called me a few times.

He was concerned about Bridget.



Well, now there's reason
to be concerned about him.

He's missing.

Siobhan, we have a problem.

Bridget's still alive.

♪ I must keep movin' on
and on and on...

Relax, the first ultrasound's

always hard to read.

Baby is no bigger than a bean.

How's your head?

Sore.

Any idea why she fainted?

Vasovagal is the likely culprit.

She was in a hot,
crowded environment.

That's all it takes.

Will you shift to the left, please?

Everything okay?

Well, I'm not seeing anything.

What do you mean?

I, uh,

I don't see a baby.

But I, uh, I-I thought
this was a precaution.

The nurses assured me
my wife was fine.

I had some bleeding last week.

What?

- Why didn't you say something?
- I didn't want you to worry.

I-I thought that spotting was normal.

It can be.

Doctor, please, what happened?

I can't be certain.

But my guess?

An ectopic pregnancy.

It's when the embryo is
implanted outside the uterus,

and they're rarely viable.

So, uh, my wife is no longer...

No longer pregnant.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I'll give you a few minutes.

I can't believe this.

I'm really sorry.

You have nothing to be sorry about.

This isn't your fault.

You know that, right?

I'm just glad that you're okay.

I made you some tea.

Thank you.

Does it hurt?

No.

What does it feel like?

It doesn't feel like anything...

...Except sad.

Look, why don't we let
Siobhan get some rest?

And you let us know
if you need anything.

Okay.

Hey, bridge, it's Malcolm.

I'm at the motor inn
on 95th, room 610.

I need to see you.

I thought you were dead.

I thought I was, too.

What happened?

I just spent the last week
tied up in Bodaway's basement.

He's looking for you, Bridge,

and when I didn't tell
him where you were...

I'm so sorry.

How did you get away?

I shook him

after I made him believe
you were in Seattle.

Made it here in one piece...
For the most part.

Don't worry.

He didn't follow me.

I was careful.

I'm only worried about you.

I still can't believe
that you're here.

Yeah, well, I'm not
planning on staying,

and neither should you.

It's just as dangerous in New York.

We got to get the hell out of here.

I, I can't just leave right now.

Why not?

'Cause I sort of threw
Bridget under the bus.

I made the cops think
that she was somehow involved

in Gemma's disappearance.

Why the hell would you do that?

I didn't really have a choice.

That was the only thing
that I could think of.

I'm sorry, I-I didn't mean to
get you messed up in all this.

Well, I am.

You can't stay here.

This place isn't safe.

There's a hotel
right by the apartment.

I can get you moved in tonight

and still make it home
before Andrew wakes up.

You should just go.

But... you don't even know
where you're going.

I'll figure it out.

Are you sure you're okay?

Bridget, I just traveled 2,000 Miles

after getting my ass handed to me.

Cut me some slack, okay?

Sorry, um, I was just
worried about you.

I'll, uh, I'll call you
in the morning?

I grabbed this before I left.

It's your six-monther.

Thought you'd want it...

So you don't forget who you are.

My name is Malcolm,

and I'm an addict.

Hi, Malcolm.

Those words come easy now.

Took me a while to get there, though.

I had to hit bottom first.

We all did, right?

Yeah.

Sure did.

We have a new face here today.

Feel like sharing?

I'm good.

Felix, want to lead us
in the serenity prayer?

Shiv?

Everything all right?

Yeah, I'll be right there.

You don't have to worry about me.

I'm okay.

I took the day off
so we could spend it together.

I have a follow-up
doctor's appointment.

So I'll come with you.

I'd rather go alone.

We should be together
at a time like this.

I appreciate that, I-I really do.

Um, I just feel like
this is something

I want to do by myself.

Fine.

I'll see you later.

All right,

we'll finish up with an easy one.

What did the rabbits represent?

Seriously? Anyone?

Yes.

The rabbits represent
happiness for Lennie?

He likes soft things,
and the rabbits' fur is soft,

so, you know, they make him happy.

Very good, Juliet.

Now, for tomorrow...

Rich girl scores some brownie points.

Way to go, rich girl.

Course, rich girl's daddy
probably pays somebody

to read to her every night.

We tried to hire your mom,

but she couldn't
handle the big words.

Don't tell me, ladies...

You find the book so enriching,

you can't help but discuss
it amongst yourselves?

Oh, cool, finally.

Um...

Could you please
do something about Tessa?

It's-it's like she finds
some sort of sick pleasure

in torturing me.

I'll talk to her.

No disrespect, Mr. c,

but I don't think her
getting a talking to...

I said I'll take care of it.

It's just been a tough week for me.

I'm not getting my trust fund
till I'm, like, 25.

Is that because of your
little Fender bender?

Yeah, and something really bad
happened to my stepmom.

She had a miscarriage.

I'm sorry to hear that.

If you need to talk to someone

in the guidance counselor's office...

What if I want to talk to you?

There's a revival theater

in the village that's showing
of mice and men this weekend.

The original...
With Burgess Meredith.

I have the DVD.

Really?

Maybe I could come over
and watch it sometime?

You're going to be late
for your next class.

Yeah.

I fired the head of
European operations.

Oh. Good morning to you, too.

I had Henri Jeunet
escorted out by security.

Mon Dieu!

It's not funny.

Well, what on earth
did Mr. Jeunet do?

When I was in Paris, we had an
amazing dinner at Chez Julien

and he showed me 20% returns.

He lost transfer documents
with my signature on them.

He's blaming it on his subordinates,

but I think he's lying.

So, what are we going to do?

Don't worry.

I'm taking care of it.

Is something else bothering you?

Siobhan lost the baby.

Oh, God.

Oh, Andrew, I'm-I'm...
I'm so sorry.

You should

go home and-and be with her.

I offered, but she wasn't interested.

I... I guess she's dealing
with it in her own way.

And how are you dealing with it?

I don't know.

I guess we were pretty set

on not having kids, but...

Since shiv found out
she was pregnant, I was...

I was starting to warm up
to the idea.

Can't you try again?

That's a very good question.

Hello?

Hi, Juliet.

Oh, hey, Mr. Butler.
You, uh, looking for my dad?

No. Your stepmom, actually.

Is she around?

Uh, no. I think my dad said
she had a doctor's appointment.

Right, right, right,
first ultrasound.

Oh, I guess you didn't hear.

Siobhan lost the baby.

I spent three hours
in JFK long-term parking.

I found a few hairs
that probably belong to her,

but little else.

I'm sorry, I don't think

Gemma's car
is the key to finding her...

It's Bridget, right?

How long have you been clean?

What time is it?

Hey. You're here.

That's all that counts.

I'm here because I have to be,

not because I want to be.

Fair enough.

So what's your poison?

Mine was heroin.

Crushing and snorting.

Creative.

I don't like needles.

Listen, Bridget, I see
a lot of myself in you.

I had a tough time opening up.

And I can help you through it.

If I didn't know any better,

I'd think you were offering
to be my sponsor.

Hi.

Are you with me here?

I'm sorry.

My old sponsor's in town.

Oh. All right, yeah,
and you just wanted

to tell me
that you're shaking me loose?

No.

Not at all.

I like what we have.

Good.

You made me nervous there
for a minute.

You had that
"I want to break up" face.

No, no breakup, I promise.

I'm just a little stressed.

Having Malcolm here could...
Complicate things.

How so?

I just... I'm dealing
with a lot right now.

Not just Gemma.

My husband and I are, um...

...Going through some stuff.

Ah. And Malcolm doesn't understand?

It's not that. I...

I want to be there for both of them.

Okay.

Hey, just be honest with these guys.

Like you've been honest with me.

Remember, if you come clean...

You stay clean.
Yeah.

Yeah. Thank you. I mean it.

Okay, I gotta go.

Bye.

Yeah?

Malcolm ward is in New York City.

Does Bridget know?

She's the one who told me.

What is he doing there?

Don't know yet.

I'm trying to pace myself
with the questions.

I want to be supportive,
not intrusive.

Just following
the sponsor guidelines.

Just make sure
he doesn't mess things up.

Just so you know,

I'm gonna take a different
approach with this guy.

The Gemma thing got way out of hand.

When I signed on to this job,

I didn't know
that you were gonna make me...

Spare me the details.

I've spent
the last few weeks listening

to a man complain about his job.

I don't need to do it long distance.

I got to go. Just... take care of it.

All right, Cora, I'm
gonna ask one more time,

and then I promise I will shut up.

Are you sure you don't want
to go with me to Rome?

I mean, the company's paying.

I think I need to see
a little bit of Paris

before I start on Rome.

Hey, it's not my fault we
never leave the hotel room.

Oh, but it is.

Mmm. I feel like I would
just be a distraction.

You need to concentrate on work.

And why would you say that?

You need to go get dressed.

You don't want to miss your plane.

Fine.

This is Tyler.

Please hold for Mr. Martin.

Tyler. Andrew Martin.

Uh, hello, sir.

Oh, what can I do for you?

I just wanted to let you know

that Mr. Jeunet is no longer
with Martin/Charles.

Oh. Wow.

I just talked to him last night.

I'm so sorry to hear that.

Me, too.

So, what can I help you with?

I wanted to talk to you
about replacing him

as head of European operations.

Really?

Well, then I'm not so sorry.

Look, I know you're set
to fly to Rome,

but how about changing
your flight to New York?

I'd love to discuss this in person.

Oh, I'd like that, too, sir.

Excellent.

Hey.

Hi.

Is Andrew home?

Uh, no. He's still at work.

Is everything okay?

I called earlier, um,

to see if your guy
found anything in Gemma's car.

He didn't.

But we're not giving up.
I want you to know that.

Juliet told me about the baby.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean for you
to find out that way.

Well, I did.

You must be relieved?

Why would you say that?

Well, because it ties everything
up in a nice little bow.

You know, problem solved.

That's a really ugly thing to say.

Why?

It's the truth, Siobhan.

You know, I guess I should grateful.

For what?

Closure.

Henry, we said

good-bye at the beach.

I thought you let me go.

Yeah.

I just thought that, deep down,
when you had our baby,

it might make you change your mind.

But without it...

It is over.

... there for years!
What you need is mighty saw!

The fastest, easiest way to cut,
trim, prune and clear.

Just wrap it around, pull it through,

and mighty saw does
the cutting for you.

What do you want?

NYPD.

Lot of people been looking
for you, Mr. ward.

Cops found this on you.

I-I thought you had this beat, man.

What happened?

We've known each other,
what, seven months now?

You've been nothing but
honest and reliable, and...

A dependable sponsor...
And now you're skipping town

and getting high?

By the way, if you
really want to stay hidden,

don't pay for your motel
with a credit card.

And who would I be hiding from,
Agent Machado?

Well, I don't know,
Bodaway Macawi, maybe?

He's responsible for
the way you look, right?

He beat you...

Till you told him where Bridget is.

I don't know where Bridget is.

Malcolm, if that's what
happened, just tell me.

You know me.

You can trust me.

If you tell me what you know,

there's a chance we
could put this guy away.

And who'd believe me?

I'm a drug addict.

There's no evidence against Bodaway.

- My word against his.
- You're looking for Bridget in New York.

You can at least admit that.

I knew Bridget
hooked up with her sister.

But now she's gone.

I can't find her.
No one can.

You know I want to help her, right?

I'm not tracking her down
to punish her, you know.

I'm trying to protect her.

Right. You're selflessly
trying to come to her rescue.

You need Bridget.

Hey, I'm not denying that.

She's the only witness to a murder

that Bodaway Macawi committed.

I know how valuable she is.

I also know that she
trusted you with her life.

She's gonna reach out
to you at some point.

And when you do hear from her...

I just hope you do the right thing.

Hold him overnight,
and then kick him loose.

Kick him loose?
We got enough

to charge him for possession.

I'm not interested in a drug bust.

Malcolm ward's gonna take us
to Bridget Kelly.

Switching gears,
let's check the financial news.

Looks like
a little bit of an upswing...

Daddy's working late?

Yeah.

How's school?

It's school.

That girl still bothering you?

Yeah... but my teacher's
taking care of it.

He gets it.

You know, it sucks
about what happened.

With the baby.

I feel awful.

Why? It's not your fault.

I'm not gonna lie.

I was anti-baby in
the beginning, but...

Then I started to think
it'd be... cool

to have a little brother or sister.

You think you and daddy are
gonna try again or...?

I don't think so.

I really just...

I want things to go back
to the way they were.

Maybe we could get a dog instead.

Hey. Morning.

Morning.

I was thinking that maybe
we could have lunch today...

Do you mind?
I'm reading.

What's wrong?

Just doing what you want,

going back to the way things were.

When did I say that?

To Juliet.

Last night.

I heard you two talking.

We really need to get
some doors in this place.

I just meant I want things
to go back to normal.

Before Gemma, before my sister.

Trust me, the last thing that
I want is to be playing games.

Really?

You blew me off yesterday morning.

- I didn't mean to blow you.
- You tell Juliet you don't want to try again.

Because I thought it was too soon.

Siobhan...

We talked about it.

This baby changed things.

And without it, I just
don't know where we stand.

Take it, I've got to
go to work anyway.

Could we talk later?

I've got a business dinner later.

I would invite you, but I
know how much you hate those.

I don't. I just want us
to spend time together.

Well, you've got a very
funny way of showing it.

Take your call.

Where have you been?

I've left you, like,
a million messages.

I need to see you.

There's a coffee shop on 83rd
across from the park.

Meet me in ten.

I'll be there.

Yeah?

Mrs. Martin, this is Agent Machado.

I'm surprised to be hearing from you.

I thought you were leaving town.

Yeah. Change of plans.

Did you know Malcolm ward's
in New York?

Yeah.

Have you spoken to him?

Actually, I'm on my way
to meet him right now.

You think he knows
where your sister is?

I don't know,
but if I find anything out,

I'll be sure to call you.

I appreciate it, Mrs. Martin.

I have a better idea.

You can wear a wire,
and then I can watch you

from a surveillance van
across the street.

- I don't know if I'm comfortable with that.
- Oh, no, no.

Come on, Mrs. Martin, you've
been so cooperative lately.

Don't make me do this the hard way.

What, you're gonna throw me
in jail if I won't do it?

No. No, but I know
some things about you

and Henry Butler that
you want to keep quiet,

and I'd just hate to start
talking if I didn't have to.

You must be Malcolm.

Sorry I'm late.

Siobhan.

Siobhan.

I, uh, wish we were meeting
under better circumstances.

Excuse me?

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Are you?

I'm holding up all right,

considering the circumstances.

Oh! Aah! Goodness. Um...

Oh, that might stain.

Will you excuse me for one second?

Oh, come on.
You gotta be kidding me.

Sorry about that.

It's a sign I've already had
too much coffee today.

So, have you heard from Bridget?

Sir?

Can I interest you
in something to eat?

Just leave the damn menu
and get out of there.

I'm good. Thanks.

I'm fine.

No, I haven't heard from her.

That's why I came to New York.

To try to find her.

You know, if you do, you can tell me.

You can trust me.

It's not about trust.

I'm in the dark.

I was hoping you could fill me in.

This isn't going anywhere.

What the hell was that?

You didn't tell me

that Bridget's friend
was a drug addict.

We had your back.

I just needed to know what he knows.

My back? What about his?

You should have gotten him help.

You helped Bridget.

Bridget was a witness in my custody.

Malcolm ward's not my responsibility.

Oh. I get it.

Only help people if you have
a vested interest in them.

Malcolm?!

You lied to me.

It was the one thing you
said you would never do.

I'm sorry. Am I talking
to Bridget or Siobhan?

I didn't have a choice.

I told you, Machado
made me wear that wire.

So you're Bridget now?

Because I can't tell
anymore. Can you?

You think I like pretending
to be somebody else?

I hate it.

Well, I think
you're starting to like it.

The clothes, the money, the guy.

You're calling me a liar,

but you're the one that's full of it.

You know what?
This isn't about me right now.

This is about you.

You're using.

No, I'm not.
How could you do this?

I didn't do anything.

Bodaway did.

He got me hooked,
just to take it away.

He thought the withdrawal
would make me give you up.

Malcolm, why didn't you tell me?

Like that's so easy.

I'd been sober for five years.

And that piece of crap took
everything I worked for

away in a few weeks.

I barely got out alive,

and when I did... I wanted more.

But I can beat this.

I beat it once, I can do it again.

Let me help you, please.

I could use some more money.

No, I will not help you buy drugs.

I need to wean myself.

I can handle it.

No, you can't.

Come on, step number one...
Admitting you're powerless.

I don't need you
to remind me of the steps.

Well, apparently you do

because you think you can
beat this while still using.

Malcolm, come on.

This time let me be the one
that's straight with you.

How can you be the one

that's straight with me
when you can't even be honest

about who you are?

What the hell, Mr. c.?

Why did you transfer me
out of your class?

You and Tessa were becoming
a bit of a disruption.

But I thought you were going
to transfer her.

I don't, I don't get it.

I... I thought you liked me.

I do like you.

Just not that way.

You're a good kid, Juliet,
but this is for the best.

You should get going.

Seventh period is about to start.

♪ Can you remember
when it started to rain?

Tell me, Tyler, are you married?

Uh, no, but I am
sort of seeing someone.

Ooh, French women are
high maintenance.

Then you must be French.

Uh, actually,
my girlfriend's American,

but she's still high maintenance.

But she's worth it.

Well, look who's here.

You came.

Hey.

I hope you don't mind.

Your assistant told me
where you were.

Are you kidding me?
No.

Tyler, I'd love you to meet my wife.

Your... wife?

Hi, I'm Siobhan Martin.

♪ I'm never going
back out of my mind.

I'll have the poached salmon, please.

And I'll have the filet.

Oh, me, too. Rare.

She prefers her meat still
breathing, if possible.

I hope the bosses aren't
giving you a hard time.

I'm sorry, but we're out of filet mignon.

Oh.
Oh.

Oh, I'll take the orange roughy.

I didn't realize I was
sleeping with the boss's wife.

Excuse me?

Is that why you told
me your name was Cora?

So, what did we miss?

Ready?

Uh, yeah, I'm good to go.

Hi, how are you guys doing?

Can I take your order?

Our special tonight is lamb
with a Rosemary glaze.

All right, shall we?

He just took the money.

Hey!

I'm glad you came tonight.

I am, too.

And I meant what I
said... no more games.

No old Andrew and Siobhan.

You're right.

The old Siobhan would never have sat

through a three-hour business dinner

without a bottle of Pinot.

And just so you know, I
want this marriage to work,

baby or no baby.

Me, too.

Tyler?

I'm surprised
you even answered, Siobhan.

Excuse me?

No wonder you didn't want
to go to Rome with me.

Too busy flying to New York
to see your husband.

Wow, you... you are
an amazing actress.

Three full courses
of pretending like we never met.

Tyler, I'm coming back
to Paris tomorrow, we can...

Don't bother.

Tyler, please...

Oh, and you might want
to find yourself a new hotel.

Martin/Charles is done
bankrolling your stay.

Tyler...

...So, heaven.
Evening.

I think I need some help.

Andrew...

This is Malcolm ward.

Why didn't you tell me
the other night at the hospital

that you were a friend
of Siobhan's sister?

Your wife needed help.

Just didn't seem important.

Here.
Thank you.

I was kind of hoping
that we could give him

a place to stay for the night.

I know he was a friend of Bridget's,

and that's not exactly
a ringing endorsement,

but he was one of
the only good things

in my sister's life.

You can do this.

I know making amends is a scary step,

but after everything
you've been through,

this will be a piece of cake.

I'm just here for backup.

Hey, Siobhan, it's bridge.

Shiv, the man helped you out.

That's all the convincing I need.

Brought you an extra towel

and I put a trash can

right here, you know, just in case.

I know this is awkward,

but thank you.

I'm just here for backup.

You all squared away?

I'm set, thanks.

Are you coming, shiv?

It's okay.

Go to bed.

You know, just give me a second.

Of course.

Are you sure?

I don't want to mess
anything up for you.

You won't.

Malcolm, I need you to know

that no matter where I am

or who you think I am,
I'm always here for you.

♪ Look at all the leaves
in the fire

yeah, I mean, sign
language is a great tool.

I mean, even if you never use it,

you can impress your friends.

Think so?

Yeah.

Juliet.

This club's open to anyone, right?

Of course, yeah.

Come in.

You're going to get through this.

Siobhan.

This is my friend Malcolm.

He needs my help and I need yours.

Hi, Malcolm.
I'm Charlie.

You did the right thing coming here.

Come on in.
