The Mentalist (2008–2015): Season 3, Episode 5 - The Red Ponies - full transcript

Sam's blocking me
from joining the practice.

- Sam is not blocking you.
- Oh, please.

Violet doesn't care
if you give the partnership to Godzilla.

Addison would say it to my face.

And since I'm paying what you owe, you'd
be a fool to block me. That leaves Sam.

Everybody's really busy.
We just haven't had time to discuss it.

You're my man on the inside.

Work your magic.

Wanna play Python in the Forest?

I'm gonna stand up very slowly now.
Would you let go?

- You really want me to?
- No, Charlotte. Come on.



- I'm really late.
- Mm.

I want this, Cooper.
I wanna join the practice.

I have to go.

You feel sick now,

but you get on the stand, and you just
look straight at the prosecutor.

Only at him. That's what I did. Okay?

You don't have to do this
if you don't want to.

- No, I do. I do. I want to.
- Okay.

Violet Turner.

Hey.

Sorry I'm late.

Please raise your right hand.

Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth,
the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?

Dr. Turner.



It's customary to say, "I do."

Uh, I can't do this.

L...

I can't do it.

- Any word on the trial?
No, not yet.

But Violet's on the stand all day.
Oh, uh, I heard back from Stan Parsons.

- Ooh, and?
- He is happy where he is.

Ugh, Stan really would've fit in well here.
We could use another ortho guy.

Yeah, well,
we could use any doctor at this point.

Look, what if...?
Just keep an open mind here.

What if we just went with Charlotte?

You cannot seriously think
that she would fit in here.

She's skilled. She's connected.
She has a specialty we don't have.

Hey.

What happened? Why are you back?

Wha...?

- She refused to testify.
- Oh.

- Did you try to talk to her?
I tried.

Well, she needs support, Cooper.
It's hard.

I know it's hard, and I am supporting her,
but she won't talk to me about it.

She won't talk to me either.
She won't talk to Pete.

So looks like it's your turn.

If she won't talk to them,
she's not gonna talk to me.

What the hell are you doing here?

No. They told us
that you'd left the practice.

They promised us
that you'd left the practice.

- You people lied to us.
- Zoe, you have this all wrong.

I do not work here anymore.

You screw up our implantations,

and then you force us
to carry each other's babies. I'm sorry.

Just sit. I have high blood pressure.

- That's why you're here?
- No. Our obstetrician...

Thinks there might be something wrong
with the baby.

- Which one?
Mine.

Sorry. The baby that I'm carrying.
Her son.

It gets a little confusing sometimes.

Dr. Carey said
that we needed a consult, surgical,

and the only one he recommended
was you.

Uh, Amelia, while you're here, we'll go
and get your blood pressure checked.

- Zoe, why don't you come on back?
- Okay.

Okay.

I'm sorry that I blew up.

I thought I was okay with everything,
but it's been hard.

My pregnancy, Amelia's pregnancy,
and then seeing Naomi again, I just...

- Something is wrong, isn't it?
- Give me a second.

- Dr. Carey deflected all my questions.
- I won't do that.

- Oh, my God. What is it?
- It's a teratoma. It's a kind of tumor.

Sometimes when the stem cells
differentiate into cartilage, bone or flesh,

they end up where they don't belong.

And in this case,
the tumor is large enough

that it's taking over
the baby's blood supply.

What I'd like to do is operate,
try to separate the tumor from the fetus.

- And will that fix it?
- Well, it's not that simple.

Sometimes it works,
sometimes it doesn't work.

- But without surgery, the baby will die.
- Well, this is Amelia's last embryo, so...

I have to tell you that if I do the surgery,
I'll need to perforate the uterus.

Sometimes that can affect your ability
to carry another child.

I know it's an awful choice.

You'll wanna talk it over
with your husband, with Amelia.

Uh, no. Martin left.

He never liked it,
the having-each-other's-baby thing.

And he didn't understand the bond
between Amelia and I.

It's like both babies
belong to both of us.

I can't do it.

Martin will come back,
and we've always wanted a big family.

I just can't.

Well, then I'd recommend
terminating the pregnancy.

Oh, my God.
What will that do to Amelia?

And if we do nothing,
it's gonna die in the womb?

Yes.

Then I think I should let it,
and get Amelia further along. L...

I can't have her think that I just gave up.

I think it's better for her
to think that it's an act of God,

- whenever it happens.
- This is Amelia's baby.

- She has the right to know.
- It's in my body, and I'm your patient.

You can't tell her without my permission.
You can't tell her.

You look like somebody shredded you.
You talk to Violet again?

No, no. I just, uh...

Can you remind me
never, ever to go upstairs again?

No, I didn't talk to Violet.
I didn't know what to say to her.

- You gonna have another run at her?
- Nope. I'm done.

I tried. I pushed.
I've had no effect on her.

So if she wants to let Katie walk...

No, Katie is not
gonna walk away from this.

No, but the defense will line up experts
who will say she was crazy.

Yeah, well, wasn't she?

"Not guilty by reason of insanity"
is not guilty, and Katie is guilty.

Six months in a nut farm, some meds,
a little therapy, after what she did?

- That's unacceptable.
- You don't know how long it's gonna be.

She could be in there for years.

I got on the stand
and told them about the wound,

the blood, the baby gone,
thinking Violet was dead.

But unless Violet tells the jury
what it was like,

unless they hear it from her...

But if Violet
is gonna be too traumatized...

Then she'll just keep being stuck.
She'll never be Violet.

And I'll still have a son

whose mother can't bring herself
to care about him.

She's missing everything.

The little sound he makes
when he smiles.

The way his eyes
try to take in the whole world at once.

It's gonna take time, Pete.

Well, she can have as much
as she wants. I'm done.

- Cooper put you up to this?
- No. We're all concerned for you, Violet.

Why does it matter if I testify or not? Why
should I have to sit there and relive it?

Why am I the only person who can
make sure that Katie gets punished?

- It's not about Katie. This is about you.
- That's right.

So sitting there for eight, ten hours a day
on the stand with Katie staring at me?

That would be like
living through it all over again.

Aren't you doing that anyway?

And don't shrinks always say
it's good, uh, to talk?

Well, what do shrinks know?

I know facing her will be hard.

Being on the same planet with her
is hard.

All right. We could all chip in

and get her one of those guest trips
to the space station.

One-way. We could probably get
a discount if it's one-way, right?

Dr. Turner,
there's someone here to see you.

- Who is it?
- A Mr. Kent.

- He says to tell you he's Katie's father.
- Uh, could you give us a second?

All right, Violet.

Violet. If you had a patient
in this situation,

would you tell your patient to face it
or to run away?

All right. You see that chair?
I'm gonna be sitting in it.

If you need help,
you look at me, you blink,

and I'll come riding to the rescue.

Okay? You can still blink, can't you?

Can you? Okay.

When Dr. Wilder testified,
what he found... To hear...

It's horrifying.
I can't apologize to you enough. Just...

You helped her.

Well, if that were true,
we wouldn't be sitting here.

No. No.
She couldn't stop talking about you.

How you just knew.

You knew that all she wanted
was to have her baby

and be not sick anymore.

She told me
I was going to be so proud of her.

She said, "You'll see, Dad,
I'm gonna be just like Mom."

If that jury sends her to prison,
she'll disappear.

This illness will eat her alive.

Why are you here?

Katie wants to see you.
She wants to talk to you.

She says you're the only person
who understands.

Violet talked to you?
Yeah. I guess she was ready.

Well, yeah, but to you?

Look, do you wanna hear
what she had to say or not?

She doesn't wanna testify,
because she's terrified of facing Katie.

- That's the revelation?
- We were interrupted.

Katie's father showed up.

- Why? What did he want?
- I don't know.

But when he left,
she went and hid in the ladies' room.

- You got a minute?
- Uh, yeah. Just, uh...

- In one minute.
- I was talking to Sam.

- Oh, uh, we're in the middle of...
- It'll only take a second.

I am a damn fine doctor
with an established patient base,

and, as I made clear,
I have ideas for expanding it.

I have the cash to buy in.
I'm chief of staff at St. Ambrose,

so I can steer you so many heart surgeries
you'll beg for mercy.

Why are you stalling?

Because I just don't think
you're the right fit here.

You know, we're all friends.
We respect each other.

- We get along.
- Uh-huh.

I guess that would be why Naomi and Pete
couldn't get out of here fast enough.

We need someone
who is great with patients,

someone who's great with staff,
someone who's calm...

- Oh, you want Naomi?
- Okay.

I don't wanna be mean,
but I just don't like you.

Oh.

Well, good grief.
What does that have to do with anything?

Excuse me.

I need to talk to you
about Amelia and Zoe.

Okay.

Place is like kindergarten. If somebody's
offering you something you need,

don't you just grab at it
instead of whining about your feelings?

What on God's green earth
do feelings have to do with anything?

It's good for you, or it isn't.

You agree with me?

- Sure.
- Something needs doing, you just do it.

Otherwise, what good are you?

It's Amelia's baby.

Ethically, it doesn't matter.
It's in Zoe's body.

Zoe's my patient.
I can't breach confidentiality.

I hate this. I hate that this baby is sick.

I hate that Zoe won't let me
even try to fix it.

That I'm lying to Amelia.

- That Naomi's caught up in this again.
- We're all caught up in it.

If this baby dies,
then the settlement goes out the window.

It's based on these two women bringing
these babies to term and then switching.

If that can't happen,
then we're facing a malpractice suit.

So, no.
Lying to Amelia will only make it worse.

I know that.
I tried to get Zoe to change her mind.

- Look, Naomi knows them...
- Don't even think it.

You saw how hostile Zoe is.

- Do not bring Naomi in.
- I just meant to ask her.

If litigation starts again,
they smell that Naomi's been involved...

- They'll go after her first.
- They'll go after her first.

Nobody knows what Katie's father said to
Violet except Violet, and she's not talking.

Except to Sam, and not about that.

I didn't get a babysitter
to talk about Violet.

- What do you wanna talk about?
- Anything but that.

Uh, well, we could talk about,
uh, Charlotte, my benefactor.

You're upset
because she paid your way?

No, I love being emasculated.
Okay, no Violet talk, no Charlotte talk.

- You wanna bet on the game?
- If you lose, do I collect from Charlotte?

If you could've seen her face.
Who knew Charlotte had feelings?

- Cooper.
- Thanks. That helps a lot.

You can't tell your friend's girlfriend
that you don't like her.

I know. I tried to dodge her,
but she backed me to a corner

and kept on telling me
all the reasons why we should hire her.

We should hire her.

- You don't actually like her?
- I like her check.

I like that hiring her
would make Cooper happy.

I like that we would be moving forward
in at least one area.

And I like her specialty.
It could be good for business.

Look, we have a problem.
She is our solution.

- All right, fine. Let's just get it over with.
Addie?

Hey. Up here.

- Oh, I'm interrupting.
Mm-mm.

I was just leaving. Really.

Uh, Amelia came
to see me this afternoon.

I was surprised too,
given what happened this morning.

But, um, she thinks there's
something wrong with the baby,

and she thinks that you and Zoe
are lying to her about it.

Okay, look,
I know I'm supposed to be out of this,

but she looks like
she's about ready to explode, so...

Is she right?

- Are you lying to her?
- There is a problem.

- That we can't tell you about.
- Okay. How serious is it?

- Nai.
- Can it be corrected?

This is ridiculous.
We're playing 20 Questions.

They were Naomi's patients.
Like it or not, we are all in this together.

We either all sink, or we all swim.

It's a sacrococcygeal teratoma,
and it's on the baby that Zoe's carrying.

- Well, can't that be operated on?
- I'd like to try, but Zoe said no.

Well, that can't be the end of it.

- I know you don't want me involved...
- Not a good beginning of a sentence.

Amelia came to me,
and I have to do something.

I mean, Zoe's mad,
but she was my patient. I do know her.

So get me into a room with her,

and maybe I can get her
to change her mind.

You guys have to let me try.

Thank you for coming.

I'm on my meds. I'm myself.

I've heard that.

So you wanted to see me.

L...

How are you?

Dr. Turner, I'm...

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Please tell me you know it wasn't me
who did that to you.

- Please tell me you know that.
- Why?

So that I'll know you understand
that I'm not a monster.

- That's why you wanted to see me?
- That, and I want you to testify.

When Dr. Wilder was on the stand,
the jury looked at me like I am a monster.

And you think my testimony
would counteract that?

I think if you testify, the jurors will know.
They will know that I was crazy that night.

- And you'll avoid prison.
- I won't get help in prison.

I'll slip. I'll be crazy again.
I don't ever wanna be crazy again.

I'm scared. I'm scared of that person,
that person who did that.

It's... It's not about avoiding punishment.
It's just, I need help.

I need someone on my side.

You... You... You...

You gutted me like a pig.

You ripped my baby out of my body.

You left me there to bleed to death,
and now I should be on your side?

I should care about how sorry you are?

I should give a damn
about what happens to you?

You made my life hell.
You made me crazy.

And now you want a free pass
from me?

Please, Dr. Turner.

Please.

Dr. Turner, please.

Thank you for agreeing to see me.

I know how angry you are,

and, uh, how much you blame me,
and rightfully so.

I don't want your apologies.

Dr. Montgomery said that you had
something that you needed to say to me,

so why don't you just say it?

Amelia came to see me.

- You told Amelia?
- No, I told you I wouldn't.

Amelia came to me.
She knows you're hiding something.

She knows there's something wrong
with the baby.

So now you wanna atone by talking me
into something that I don't wanna do?

Zoe, listen. When all this happened, I did
not want to talk you into keeping the baby.

All I wanted
was for you to see things from all sides.

It was not about me.
This was so you could feel as okay

with what was going to happen
as you possibly could,

given what we did to you.

Given what I did to you.
What I did to you.

I wasn't the one
who changed your mind.

It was Amelia, and it was you,

knowing that it was the best thing,
given the circumstances.

If the situation were the other way around,
wouldn't you want to know, Zoe?

Don't you see?
It is the other way around.

This is my baby too. They're both mine.
They're both hers.

If I tell her now,

tell her that I'm going to end
this pregnancy, it will be bad for her.

Her blood pressure.
She's already at risk for eclampsia.

- I may lose both babies. We'll lose both.
- Or I could do the surgery.

At least try.

Okay, if you're gonna choose
not to have the surgery,

then you're gonna have to let Addison
end the pregnancy.

If you ever wanna be pregnant again,
it is the safest choice.

And that means telling Amelia.

Okay, I'll tell her,
but you have to explain to her

why the surgery can't be done.
You cannot put that on me.

About Charlotte.

She was in a bitch of a mood
when I got home last night.

- I'm sorry.
- I don't want your apology.

Just make a decision one way or another.
Is she in, or is she out? Come on.

We did. Yeah.
We called her this morning.

She...? She didn't tell you?

Uh, no. I left early for rounds.
What is it? Yes or no?

She's moving into Pete's old office
right now.

You could've called me.

- Congratulations.
- I wanted to surprise you.

Just anywhere. Except for that one.
Goes on the desk.

Wow. Ha, ha.

This is, uh...

This is gonna be great.

Wait till you see
what I got going on in here.

- Um, is this what I think it is?
- Yes.

- What is this for? I mean, why is it here?
- New job, new specialty.

- Porn shop?
- Sexual dysfunction.

- You're a urologist.
- That, and now more.

Look. I hired a web designer.

You'll be able to click on a condition,
get information.

You can do an e-mail consultation.

You can order stuff.
You can make an appointment to come in.

Wait. This didn't happen
since last night, right?

- You been thinking about this for a while?
- Yes.

Didn't think to mention this to me?
It slipped your mind?

It's a work in progress.

And what do you call it? What do you...?
Is it, uh, genitology? Can't-functionology?

- Sexology.
- Is that what it's gonna say

on your business card?
"Dr. Charlotte King, sexologist"?

Kind of sounds a little bit like a hooker,
or a dominatrix.

- You did not just call me a hooker.
- No, I said it sounds...

For God's sakes. Cooper.

- This is a legitimate medical specialty.
- Really? This?

How old are you?
Some people have trouble with sex.

They need a doctor's help.
I emphasize "doctor."

You know what? Um, let's table this.

Violet Turner.

All right. Pick a fist.

Come on. Pick a fist.

Oh, good. "Yes." See, that means
you have to answer one question.

- You still don't wanna talk to me?
- No, it's not that.

I'm just afraid you're gonna pressure me
into doing something I don't wanna do.

- Yeah, but Sam. You talked to Sam.
- No pressure.

I will not pressure you. Promise.

Okay.

What's the question?

Why did Katie's father
come in to see you?

To tell me that Katie wants to see me.

And did he really think
you were gonna go?

I did go.

I thought that if I could face her, just us,
then I could face her in the court.

Why didn't you tell me?
I would've gone with you.

How'd it go?

I wanted to rip her lungs out,
but the deputy was there.

Well, that's probably a good thing.
For Katie.

She wants me to testify.
She wants me to say that she's crazy.

And what do you want?

Well, Dr. Turner thinks she needs help.

But Violet wants her dead.

You can have conflicting emotions
about a person.

- I speak from experience.
- Yeah. But only one of us can testify.

What should I do?

Well, I think
Dr. Turner's the best psychiatrist I know.

But I want what's best for Violet.

The teratoma
depletes the baby's blood supply,

and the fetus can't develop or thrive.

- And the baby dies.
- Amelia, I wanted to tell you...

And is there anything that we can do,
except for the surgery?

I wish there were.

- If I thought that there was a way...
- No, I understand. I do.

Okay.
- I do.

- Amelia?
Uh-huh?

- Are you okay?
- I'm okay.

- I'm a little lightheaded, I think.
- I'm gonna go ahead

and take your blood pressure, okay?

Okay.

When we first found out
we had the wrong babies, I was afraid...

I was afraid that you wouldn't try
to make it work.

Thank you for trying.

So, what do we do now?

I think termination is best.

I wanna be there.

- I'm sorry.
- No.

I know...
I know this must be hard for you.

If you... If you feel... If you feel anything
like the way that I feel...

- Amelia.
- Her pulse is weak and thready.

Get four liters of oxygen.
I'm gonna get an IV patch.

- You just breathe. Just breathe.
- Okay. Okay.

All right, lean back. Easy.

- Slow breaths.
- I'm okay.

- Is the baby okay?
- Yes.

Just had a transient rise
in blood pressure.

It slowed your heart down,
but you're okay now.

Oh, thank God.

Ha-ha-ha. I am such a mess.

You just need to avoid stress,
and rest so it doesn't get any worse.

And I am going to call your regular ob-gyn
and see about adjusting your medication.

- I wanted to be stronger for her.
- You are, Amelia.

- Is she still here?
- Of course she is. I'll go get her.

How's Amelia and the baby?

Amelia's gotta be careful,
but they're both going to be fine.

Good. That's good.

I changed my mind.
I wanna have the surgery.

I want you to try, as soon as you can.

- Zoe...
- No, I know what I said.

But she is putting her health at risk
for my baby. She's doing it for me.

I need to do it for her.

Did Violet decide
whether or not she's gonna testify?

She will.
I don't know what she's gonna say.

- I think that she should. L...
- lx-nay on the lolet-vay.

- Lx...?
- I've backed off.

Will she? Won't she?
It's not my concern.

- If you wanna try to change her mind...
- Not me. Katie.

Katie wants her to testify,
tell the jury that she was crazy.

Is Violet actually considering...? I mean,
can we talk about something else?

Charlotte, uh, is going into sexology.
How crazy is that?

- I don't think it's crazy at all.
- She didn't tell you?

- What, you knew?
- Of course we knew.

- She didn't tell you?
- No.

Work on your communication skills.
Besides, I think she'll be good at sexology.

- I mean, I'm assuming.
- That is exactly the problem.

- It's a medical specialty.
- That is so not the point.

- You said you wanted her in the practice.
- As a doctor, Sam. As...

Excuse me.
May I have another one of these, please?

Hey, listen, uh, uh.

It's Brad? If your girlfriend told you
that she was gonna be a sexologist,

would you be okay with that?

Where have you been?

I had a party.

- Gin party?
- Yep.

- Brad the bartender.
- Hmm.

Did you kill anybody on your way home?

I'm a responsible adult. I took a cab.

You know, I decided it's a good thing
that you're a sexologist.

- Really?
- Yeah.

It's gonna be like a peep show for me at
work. You can put on your leather teddy,

and I can watch through the window
while you do what you do

the way that you do it,
because you're really good at it.

And you really should be putting your skills
to good use.

Just please wear a condom.

- You're a nasty man when you're drunk.
- I'm not drunk. I'm clear.

And I'm happy for you. I'm just...
I'm confused.

How do I introduce you now? Because
there's no page on this in Emily Post.

I mean, how about this?
"This is my girlfriend, Charlotte.

Do you need help with your erection?"

You know this is my bed, right?
That I paid for.

Oh, yeah. Take it all, Charlotte.

Leave me nothing
but shame and mortification.

- Mass is almost as big as he is.
- You've done it before.

But usually, when I go in,
I'm trying to save one baby.

In this case,
I feel like I'm trying to save two,

and one's not even in the room.

Look, if I lose the baby...

Then you will have done everything you
possibly could, which is what we wanted.

Wanted to try everything.

If this doesn't work,
it won't be good for you.

Don't put that on yourself. Just go.

It's not your mistake that got us here.

You know what she's gonna do?

- Hey.
- Hey.

Glad you're here.

All rise.

Should it be taking this long?

Addison will come and get us
just as soon as there's news.

God, I hate waiting.
I felt this way every time we finished

another implantation
and I came in for a pregnancy test.

Just panic. Sheer panic.

Amelia, I am so sorry
for what I've put you both through.

- Oh, I didn't mean to bring up...
- No, no, no. Please, please.

Don't try and make me feel better
for what I've done.

It was hard at first, for all of us.
But Zoe and I...

It's crazy, after the way it happened,

but I'm closer to her
than I've ever been to anybody before.

You did that too.

Addison.

Zoe's fine, but I couldn't save the baby.
I'm so sorry.

I did everything I could.

I do.

- Are you comfortable, doctor?
- Are you kidding?

I appreciate you coming back.

I know this is hard on you,
so I'm gonna get right to it.

Can you tell us what happened
on the night in question?

The defendant rang my door,

and when I answered it,
she jabbed me with a syringe.

You know what was in it?
- No.

I remained conscious,
but I couldn't move.

And then she told me
what she was going to do to me.

And what did she say that was?

That she was going to cut my baby
out of my body.

And she did.

Will you tell her it's gonna be okay?
She doesn't believe me.

You're gonna get through this, Zoe.

I just feel like I failed you.
I feel like I lost my baby.

It is not your fault.

Listen, all of this, it just happened, okay?
Come here.

Michael is still here. Your baby is fine.

- He's in here kicking.
- Ha-ha-ha.

And we're a family,
so it's gonna be okay.

We can do this together. You'll see.

Zoe. My God, are you okay?

The baby?

- You come back now?
- Amelia.

No, this isn't right.

- Now that the baby's gone?
- No, Amelia. It's okay.

- He left you.
- No. I called him. I wanted him to come.

- Martin.
- Baby.

I'm so sorry
you had to go through this all alone.

I wasn't alone.

I just wanted
to say I'm sorry, and I love you.

I'm back.

- I'm sorry that I didn't call you sooner.
- No.

Yeah.

- Amelia. Amelia. I am so sorry.
- Oh, no. Oh, God.

- I'm just a surrogate.
- No, no. You're much more than that.

I thought I was. Her husband's back.
That's good, right?

- But I gotta go.
- No, Amelia.

They can have other children.

- Amelia.
- They can have other kids.

- Lots of kids.
- Amelia, he is not your baby.

You cannot just leave and keep him.

Yes, I can.

He's not yours.

He's all I have left.

The last thing I remember was
her walking out of the door with the baby.

Nothing more?

Just blood.

I remember the blood spreading out
all around me.

Thank you, Dr. Turner.

You and Dr. Wilder
were treating the defendant.

- Is that right?
- Yes.

And you felt it was safe
for her to stop taking her medications?

She refused to take them.

She was afraid they would harm the baby
she was carrying.

Did you understand that she had
an illness that required medication?

I understood she could benefit
from medication.

- Did she understand that she would...?
- Objection. Speculation.

The witness is not just a victim.

She was the defendant's psychiatrist.
She's an expert in mental aberrations.

I'll allow it.

Were you aware
that without proper medication,

your patient would likely lapse
into a delusional state?

"Likely" is not quite the right word.

Do you think it was possible
for her to become delusional?

Your Honor, counsel is trying to blame
the victim for not being clairvoyant.

I'll rephrase.
Dr. Turner, in your expert opinion,

on the night in question,
was the defendant delusional?

Yes.

Yes, she was.

Dr. Turner.

I hate what you did to me.

So do I.

So why?

Because you were right.

It wasn't you that night.

If I had said you were just evil,

it would be like denying everything I do.

More than anyone, I'm supposed
to understand that you weren't you.

And I do understand.

Because I'm not me either.

I hope you get better.

I hope you get better too.

Perfect. You give her our baby, she walks
away, and there's nothing we can do.

- God knows what she's gonna do to him.
- She's not gonna hurt the baby, Martin.

She stole our baby.
How can you be this calm?

Calm? I just lost a baby.

And we're gonna find her
and get it back.

Martin, I wasn't talking about that baby.
I was talking about the one I was carrying.

- Her baby.
- Hers. Mine.

I know it's hard for you to understand,

but when a child grows inside you,
you feel like it's yours.

You're defending her?
- I'm understanding.

- Martin.
- What?

What are you gonna say now?
You know the settlement's out the window.

This was never about that, Martin,
for either of us.

- Martin.
- What?

- That's our baby.
- And we'll get him back.

We will. She's a good person, Martin.
She'll look at him,

and she'll know the right thing to do.

How can you excuse her?

You rush in here after months of being
away, and you're just happy that I'm okay,

but Amelia was there for me through
the hardest thing that I've ever done.

She tried to make me feel better
when her baby died.

Martin, you're my husband, and I love you,
and I am so glad that you're back,

but she is my friend, okay?

And I know that
that is gonna mean something to her.

Just watched Violet testify. She did great.
Calm, focused.

She just said what happened.
That hell that happened to her.

And then she told the jury
that Katie was not mentally responsible.

I don't think I could've done that.

I'm sorry.

I love you, Charlotte.

I am too much woman for you.

I have more money. I picked a specialty
that makes you nervous.

I bought your way into the practice.

I'm strong, and I am comfortable
with being strong,

and I like that I'm strong.

And if that is too much woman for you,
if that makes your junk feel tiny,

I'm not gonna make myself smaller.

I'm not gonna put myself in a box
so that you feel like a big man.

I am a big woman.

And you either get used to it,
or you get out.

I'll get used to it. I will.
I will get used to it.

You're hot. Strong women are hot.

It's hot.

I mean it, Cooper. I am not...

I've given you space and time.

I've been raising our son by myself.

I quit my job to make things easier.

I did all these things so that you would
have time to get over what happened.

So you can move past it.
Today you had a chance.

You had a chance
to make a huge step past it,

and make Katie pay
for what she did to you.

And you... What? What...?
I mean, what? What was that?

- Did you want me to lie?
- She's always going to be dangerous.

She's gonna make someone else believe
that she's fine,

and there's a chance she could do this
again. That is an unacceptable risk.

- After what she did to you, you help her?
- I didn't do it for her, Pete. I did it for me.

What she did to you was unspeakable.

And she needs to pay for what she did.

She needs to... She needs to pay for it.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. I've been so in my head,

- I didn't realize that it...
- What?

That it happened to you too.

What Katie did to me
happened to you too.

I'm not the only victim.

You're the victim too.

Oh, my God. I'm sorry, Pete.
I'm so sorry. She...

She took something from you.

- She took me from you. I'm so sorry.
- Don't be sorry.

Just come back.

Come back to me.

Come back to me.

You have to come back to me, okay?

Just come back.

- I don't think I could be that forgiving.
- I couldn't either. But good for Violet.

It's gotta be a positive step.

- You think she'll get back to normal?
- I hope so.

- Yeah.
- Well, it won't be the old normal.

- Yeah, what is?
- Nothing, lately.

Which raises the question:

- Charlotte King? Really?
- What can I say?

You're hard to replace.

She has some interesting sex toys.

Uh, excuse me.

So, uh, I just wanted to apologize
for, uh, saying that I didn't like you.

That's an apology?

You're sorry you don't like me,
or you're sorry you said it?

No, uh, it's... Cooper likes you.
And, yeah, I just...

I wish that... I'm sorry.

- I'm making this worse.
- You know what, Sam?

I don't need everybody to like me.
But I'm here.

You onboard with that?

Welcome to the practice.

Dr. King.
