Honestly, who gives a shit.

Why the hell should we let the

- Hey, Yen, I'll call you back.

What is it now?

ANA: Of all the places in Portland,

you took me to the only

DAIMON: Yeah.

But they have a pretty
good biscuit-wich.

A biscuit witch?

It's a local delight that hexes
people with gluten sensitivities.

I just remember you always
liked biscuits with gravy.

When I was seven.

My palate's a little more refined now.

Can I have the Fruity Surprise Platter

I'm just gonna have

[CHUCKLES]

So, why do you want to see Mom?

[SIGHS]

I might need a kidney someday.

And you texted. I figured it must be
pretty serious if you reached out.

I always reach out.

Holidays. Your birthday. You're
the one who never responds.

And yet, here I am, responding.

In the flesh.

Seriously. How bad is she?

Bad.

The... thing that's got a hold of her,

her body can't take it much longer.

Is that why you texted?

Are you finally ready to let go?

Actually, I was thinking that maybe

we could try together
to pull it out of her.

That's not how it works.

I could kill her. Is that what you want?

No. Of course not. I just...

Don't you want to know that we did

everything we could to try and help her?

Even if... it's just for
some kind of closure.

Closure?

It's dramatically overrated.

Stop.

It's me, okay.

We've been through things that
no one else on Earth can understand.

I think I've been through
a bit more than you have.

And if you'd ever care to open
up about it, I'm right here.

I always have been.

Look. Dad's dead.

And Mom, when she's gone,

it's just gonna be the two of us.

It'd be nice if we had
each other's backs

instead of just pretending
like we're related.

Pretending is so much easier.

Well, maybe for you.

Meanwhile, I've been dealing with Mom

by myself for years.

That's your job,

as Mother's favorite little martyr.

Oh my God, you're unbelievable.

Why are you here?

A-an-and don't bullshit me.

I can always tell.

You wouldn't be here if
you didn't want something.

You're right.

If Mom really is at the end,

there's some stuff I'd
like to get off my chest.

And as it turns out, I don't
have visitation privileges

like my dutiful older brother.

So I'm here,

very fashionable hat in hand,

to ask for your permission

to see her.

Alone.

I don't think that's a good idea.

I don't give a shit what you think.

You've had 20 years of
one-on-one time with Mom

to unburden yourself.

I never did.

After everything we've been
through, I think you owe me that.

You can see her tomorrow.

Thank you.

I'll call Dr. Hastings at the hospital

in the morning before my class
and tell her you're coming.

Your class? What are you taking?

I'm a teacher.

Ethics.

Oh, "Ethics".

How awful.

If you need a place to stay,
I have a guest room.

All due respect to your futon,

I booked a suite at The Nines.

I spoke to your brother this

I told him it was a bad idea.

And what did he say?

I'm telling you it's not a good time.

Your mother had a rough night.

Then maybe letting me see
her would cheer her up?

I think she's a little
past "cheering up".

Well, we're not gonna know

You've been failing her for two decades,

Over the years, your

You hit Mom?

And I got tossed across the

No, I'm not.

- Are you okay?
- I'm fine.

I'm fine, too, thanks for asking.

Is there an explanation coming or...

I was simply trying to get a response
from what's left of our mother.

But let's face it, she's a
sock puppet at this point.

I thought maybe you might have
softened a little bit over the years.

But no, you're incapable of that.

And you're incapable of moving on.

Mom is in there clinging to the
