WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE, SAM?

I DON'T KNOW.

AND I TRY-- I MEAN, I KNOW I CAN'T,

BUT I TRY TO PUT MYSELF IN CHARLOTTE'S SHOES,

AND I TRY TO IMAGINE HOW YOU DEAL WITH SOMETHING LIKE THIS,

AND I JUST... I CAN'T.

AND I KEEP THINKING-- HOW DO YOU GO ON FROM IT?

HOW DOES CHARLOTTE...

BECOME CHARLOTTE AGAIN?

I REALLY... I DON'T KNOW.

AND COOPER? I MEAN, WHAT ABOUT COOP?

HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW. WHAT IF SHE NEVER TELLS HIM?

I MEAN, WHAT'S THAT GONNA DO TO THEIR RELATIONSHIP?

I MEAN... DO YOU THINK IT SURVIVES THIS?

I DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THESE QUESTIONS, ADDISON.

I KNOW.

BUT DID WE DO THE RIGHT THING...

GOING TO THE POLICE?

THAT I KNOW.

WE DID THE RIGHT THING.

YOU'RE SAFE.

CHAR? I'M GONNA WAIT HERE.

I GOT A BUNCH OF E-MAILS TO GET THROUGH.

THEY ASKED TO SEE YOU, NOT ME. WELL, GO ON IN AND FIND OUT WHAT THEY WANT.

I'LL BE HERE.

OKAY, I KNOW YOU'RE SCARED,

BUT YOU'VE COME THIS FAR. LET'S JUST GO RIGHT IN THERE,

FIND OUT WHAT THE NEWS IS ON THE CASE,

AND THEN WE CAN GET OUTTA H-- I'M NOT SCARED. I'VE GOT E-MAILS. I'M BUSY.

YOU GO.

HER FRIENDS CARRIE AND BECKY STARTED YEARS AGO.

AND I'M FOUR MONTHS OLDER THAN BECKY. WELL, EVERYTHING LOOKS JUST FINE.

YOU KNOW, IT'S NORMAL TO START YOUR PERIOD

ANYWHERE BETWEEN AGES 10 AND 16, AND YOU ARE ONLY 15, JULIE,

SO DON'T WORRY. IT'LL HAPPEN.

HERE.

WHAT DO YOU CARRY IN THAT THING?

JUST MY BOOKS AND HOMEWORK FOR ALL MY CLASSES,

AND MODEL U.N. STUFF,

AND SHEET MUSIC FOR JAZZ BAND, AND A SOCCER UNIFORM--

SHE WON'T LET ME LEAVE IT IN THE CAR. MY WHOLE LIFE'S IN THERE.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING'S THAT NOTEBOOK.

I JUST--I LIKE TO WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN.

IT KEEPS HER BUSY SO I DON'T...

SHARON. CAN WE GET SOME HELP IN HERE?!

DON'T WORRY, JULIE.

SHE'S JUST HAVING A SEIZURE.

JUST CLEAR HER AIRWAY TO MAKE SURE SHE CAN BREATHE.

LIFT HER JAW, OPEN HER THROAT. SHE WAS LATE TAKING HER MEDS

THIS MORNING. SHE WAS 00,

30. IT'S ALL IN MY NOTEBOOK. ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

IT'LL PASS IN A MINUTE. IT ALWAYS DOES.

IT'S OKAY. HEY.

I WANT TO KILL MY KID.

LITERALLY, I WANT TO KILL HIM.

YOU KNOW THE ONLY REASON I DON'T?

IT'S 'CAUSE SOME ACTRESS WOULD PLAY ME

IN THE MADE-FOR-TV MOVIE, AND I DON'T WANT...

UNLESS IT WAS MERYL STREEP.

DO YOU THINK MERYL STREEP COULD PLAY ME?

'CAUSE THEN I'M DEFINITELY KILLING MY KID.

I DON'T THINK MERYL STREEP DOES MADE-FOR-TV MOVIES. DAMN IT.

SOMETIMES KIDS JUST HAVE A HARD TIME SLEEPING.

OH. AND YOU KNOW THIS WHY?

I WAS A KID ONCE. I'M TAKING LUCAS TO SEE COOPER.

AND COOPER IS GONNA TELL YOU THAT YOU'RE CRAZY. I'M CRAZY BECAUSE OF LACK OF SLEEP.

UH, SOMEONE'S HERE TO SEE YOU, DR. WILDER.

HE--HE DOESN'T HAVE AN APPOINTMENT.

WHAT?

WHO IS IT?

I THINK...

I THINK THAT'S MY BROTHER.

PETE.

UH, IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU.

YEAH, YOU, TOO. IT'S BEEN--

A LONG TIME.

UH, I'M--I'M VIOLET.

PETE'S MARRIED TO ME,

AND, UH, AND WE HAVE A SON--LUCAS.

I'M ADAM.

IT'S NICE TO MEET YOU.

WOW. SO I'M AN UNCLE.

WH--UM, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

WELL, IT'S ABOUT MOM.

I GOT WORK TO DO. PETE--

UH, LISTEN, OUR-- OUR MOTHER IS VERY SICK.

AND SHE...

WE NEED HIS HELP.

I STIMULATE DIFFERENT AREAS

BETWEEN THE ELECTRODES UNTIL SHE SEIZES,

AND THEN KNOWING WHERE THAT ELECTRODE IS,

I CAN PINPOINT THE SOURCE OF THE SEIZURES ON THE E.E.G.

NEUROSURGEONS GET ALL THE COOL TOYS.

HOW LONG HAS SHE BEEN HAVING 'EM?

SEVEN YEARS. SINCE A CAR ACCIDENT.

SHE'S HAD EXTENSIVE NEURO EVALS AND TREATMENTS,

BUT NOTHING'S HELPED. WHAT IS WITH THE NOTEBOOK?

SHE RECORDS EVERYTHING HAVING TO DO WITH HER MOTHER'S CARE--

MEDS, DIET, THE DURATION AND PROXIMITY OF SEIZURES.

THAT'S A LOT OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR A KID.

WHERE'S DAD? HE DIED IN THE CAR CRASH.

JULIE SEEMS TO HANDLE IT PRETTY WELL.

SHE'S 15.

SHE'S TOO YOUNG TO BE HANDLING ANYTHING.

MM, SHARON SHIELDS HER FROM IT AS BEST SHE CAN.

THE GIRL HAS A SEIZURE NOTEBOOK, ADDISON.

THAT IS NOT A NORMAL LIFE.

I GOT IT. CHECKING THE TRACINGS.

WHAT'S WRONG? SHE DOESN'T NORMALLY DO THAT. GIVE ME 5 OF LORAZEPAM

AND A PHENYTOIN PIGGYBACK. RIGHT AWAY.

YOU HAVE TO HELP HER. SHE'S NOT BREATHING!

NO. IT'S OKAY. IT'S OKAY, MOM. IT'S OKAY.

IT'S NOT WORKING. IT'S NOT WORKING.

SHE'S GONNA BE OKAY, JULIE.

IT'S OKAY, MOM. DID YOU FIND IT?

DID YOU LOCATE THE LESION? Yeah, I got it.

IT'S OKAY.

IT'S OKAY.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME? PETE, I SWEAR--

I ASKED YOU NOT TO CONTACT HIM--

AND I DIDN'T. I DIDN'T.

BUT NOW THAT HE'S HERE,

I ASKED HIM TO STAY IN THE LOBBY.

YOU SHOULD TELL HIM TO GO.

HE SAYS YOUR MOTHER'S VERY SICK,

THAT SHE HAS A SERIOUS HEART CONDITION,

AND THAT THE CARE SHE'S GETTING IN--I--

PRISON.

MY MOTHER'S IN PRISON FOR KILLING SOMEONE.

YOU CAN SAY IT.

I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS.

WOULD IT HURT TO HEAR HIM OUT?

YEAH, IT WOULD.

I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO IT ALONE.

I'LL BE HERE.

I WILL BE RIGHT HERE.

HEY. UM, GREAT NEWS.

YOU READY TO GO?

THEY THINK THEY CAUGHT THE GUY.

HE SAY ANYTHING?

HE SAY WHAT HE DID?

NO, HE HASN'T SAID A WORD. SO YOU READY TO GO?

NO, UH, I'M SORRY. I DON'T THINK YOU UNDERSTAND.

UM, HE'S IN THERE,

SO ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS I.D. HIM.

YOU PICK HIM OUT OF A LINEUP, AND THEN THEY CAN CHARGE HIM.

I.D. HIM? YEAH.

I'M GOING BACK TO WORK. NO. WAIT, CHARLOTTE. NO, YOU NEED TO--

I NEED TO WHAT?

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO, COOPER?

I-I... I'LL BE RIGHT NEXT TO YOU THE WHOLE TIME.

THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO PUT THIS GUY AWAY,

AND THEN THIS IS OVER. IT'S ALREADY OVER. I'M NOT GONNA DO THIS.

YOU COMIN'? CHARLOTTE--

THEN I'LL GO WITHOUT YA.

THERE'S A RELATIVELY NEW PROCESS.

IT INVOLVES INSERTING A PROBE INTO YOUR BRAIN

AND LOOKING FOR THE SCARRING THAT INITIATES THE SEIZURES.

THE PROBE IS TRIGGERED TO TRANSMIT RADIO WAVES,

WHICH HEAT AND ABLATE THE SCAR.

SHE'S GONNA BURN MY BRAIN?

I'M GONNA REMOVE THE TROUBLE SPOT.

THE IDEA IS NO MORE SCAR, NO MORE SEIZURE, BUT--

YOU CAN JUST MAKE THEM STOP? BUT IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE.

THE SCARRING THAT'S CAUSING YOUR MOM'S SEIZURES IS ALSO

VERY CLOSE TO THE MOTOR CENTER OF THE BRAIN.

WHAT--WHAT-- WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? DR. SHEPHERD CAN EXPLAIN THE RISKS.

YOUR MOM COULD WIND UP PARALYZED IN THE ARM OR FACE.

SHE COULD HAVE AN APHASIA-- DIFFICULTY SPEAKING

OR PROCESSING SPEECH--

AND IN VERY RARE CASES, THERE IS PARTIAL BLINDNESS.

BUT THESE ARE WORST-CASE SCENARIOS.

MORE LIKELY--I CUT, THE SEIZURES STOP, YOUR MOM IS FINE.

AND IF I DON'T DO THE SURGERY?

WELL, THE SEIZURES COULD GET WORSE.

THEY PUT YOU AT RISK FOR HEAD INJURY AND FALLS.

AND IF THEY CONTINUE

WITH THE INTENSITY THAT WE'VE WITNESSED,

YOU WILL LIKELY HAVE IRREVERSIBLE BRAIN DAMAGE.

PARALYZED TODAY OR DEMENTED TOMORROW--

LOVELY CHOICE.

HOW LONG BEFORE THE SEIZURES CAUSE PERMANENT BRAIN DAMAGE?

10, 15 YEARS.

WELL, IN TEN YEARS,

YOU'LL BE 25.

SO IF YOU DIDN'T WANT TO DO THE SURGERY NOW, YOU COULD...

DO IT IN A YEAR, FIVE YEARS FROM NOW.

AND BE THAT MUCH WORSE OFF. IT DEPENDS ON WHEN YOU WANT TO TAKE THE RISK.

I'M OFFERING YOU A CURE.

NO.

NO SURGERY.

LOOK, IS THERE A CHANCE FOR AN ADVERSE RESULT? YES.

BUT... I MEAN, THERE IS A BETTER CHANCE

THAT I CAN MAKE YOU BETTER, COMPLETELY.

I THINK THAT SHARON WAS CLEAR.

YOU AND ME...

WE'RE DOING ALL RIGHT THE WAY THINGS ARE, RIGHT?

YEAH.

YEAH, WE ARE.

YOU ARE NOT A NEUROSURGEON.

YOU WERE PROMISING HER A CURE.

BECAUSE I CAN GIVE HER ONE BECAUSE I AM A NEUROSURGEON.

LOOK, I DON'T TELL YOU HOW TO HANDLE VAGINAS.

OKAY. IF YOU CUT AND IT GOES BAD, WHAT HAPPENS TO JULIE?

IF I DON'T CUT, WHAT HAPPENS TO THE MOTHER?

RIGHT NOW, NOTHING THEY CAN'T HANDLE. HOW RISKY IS THE PROCEDURE?

WELL, IT'S RISKY ENOUGH THAT THE MOTHER COULD WIND UP

PARALYZED OR BLIND,

WHICH MEANS THAT HER 15-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER

WOULD WIND UP TAKING CARE OF HER INSTEAD OF THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

I MEAN, LOOK, BETTER THAT THEY HAVE FIVE OR TEN

GOOD YEARS TOGETHER THAN NONE AT ALL. I AM OFFERING THEM A LIFETIME TOGETHER,

NOT JUST A FEW YEARS. DOES THE DAUGHTER EVEN WANT THE SURGERY?

NO. BECAUSE SHE'S TAKING THE LEAD FROM HER MOM.

NO, AMELIA. SHE HEARD YOU.

SHE HEARD BOTH OF US, AND SHE MADE A DECISION. YOU STACKED THE DECK.

STACKED THE DECK? I GAVE THEM MY PROFESSIONAL OPINION--

LIKE I SAID. YOU ARE NOT AN NEUROSURGEON.

DID EITHER OF YOU TELL COOPER?

WHAT? NO.

ABSOLUTELY NOT, CHARLOTTE.

I DIDN'T TELL COOPER, BUT I-I TOLD THE COPS.

THE POLICE BROUGHT ME IN

TO INTERVIEW A GUY ON THE NIGHT OF YOUR...

HE ADMITTED TO HAVING ATTACKED A WOMAN.

HE WAS--HE WAS ARRESTED NOT FAR FROM THE HOSPITAL.

SHELDON KNOWS.

IS THERE ANYONE YOU PEOPLE HAVEN'T TOLD?

I...

I SENT THE POLICE PELVIC WASHINGS THAT I TOOK.

I KNOW YOU SAID NO RAPE KIT, BUT--

PLEASE TELL ME YOU DID NOT DO THAT. YOU WERE IN SHOCK, CHARLOTTE.

I WANTED TO PRESERVE ALL OF YOUR OPTIONS-- SHUT UP.

JUST SHUT UP.

THEY CAN'T JUST ARREST THE GUY?

WE CAN'T GET HIM OFF THE STREETS WITHOUT CHARLOTTE'S HELP.

SO THAT'S WHY YOU'RE HERE... BECAUSE OF MOM?

WELL, IT'S NOT LIKE I HAVEN'T THOUGHT ABOUT GETTING IN TOUCH.

I'M SURE YOU HAVE, TOO.

SHE'S DYING. SLOWLY, BUT SHE'S DYING.

AND NO ONE IN THERE GIVES A DAMN.

BUT YOU CAN HELP HER. HOW?

YOU KNOW WHAT A HUMANITARIAN RELEASE IS,

RIGHT?

YOU KNOW, I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT CALLING YOU.

WHATEVER PROBLEMS YOU AND I HAVE ARE BECAUSE OF HER.

BUT FOR YOU TO SHOW UP HERE AFTER ALL THESE YEARS

AND TRY TO GUILT ME INTO SOME-- I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO DO ANYTHING WRONG. PLEASE...

JUST GO SEE HER.

THAT'S ALL I'M ASKING.

HEY. I WANT YOU TO CONVINCE HER TO DO THE LINEUP.

COME ON, COOPER. MAYBE SHE'LL LISTEN TO YOU.

SHE SURE AS HELL WON'T LISTEN TO ME. IT'S NOT MY PLACE TO TELL CHARLOTTE TO DO ANYTHING.

SHE HASN'T ASKED ME FOR HELP. LIKE THAT'S EVER STOPPED YOU.

IT'S THE RIGHT THING. YOU WENT AFTER KATIE. I WANTED REVENGE.

SO WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT?

WELL, IN THE END, THAT WOULD'VE HURT ME MORE,

SO I FORGAVE HER AND I LET IT GO.

WELL, I WANT CHARLOTTE TO HAVE THE SAME OPTION.

I KNOW HER, VIOLET. SHE NEEDS TO LOOK THAT BASTARD IN THE EYE

AND SAY, "IT WAS YOU."

HEY. HEY.

HEARD YOU, UH, HAD A VISITOR.

HARD TO KEEP A SECRET AROUND HERE.

YEAH. I WAS SURPRISED. YOU, UH...

YOU NEVER MENTIONED YOU HAD A BROTHER.

I HAVEN'T TALKED TO HIM IN A LONG TIME,

NOT SINCE MY MOTHER...

MY MOTHER'S IN PRISON... FOR MANSLAUGHTER.

FOR...

OH. I, UH... I CAN'T IMAGINE.

NOW SHE'S SICK. HE SHOWS UP OUT OF THE BLUE.

HE WANTS ME TO HELP HER GET A HUMANITARIAN RELEASE.

ARE YOU GOING TO?

I DON'T KNOW.

WHAT'S YOUR MOTHER LIKE?

UH... MY--

I DON'T KNOW. SHE'S, UH, SHE'S A MOM.

MY MOTHER JUST... DIDN'T REALLY GIVE A DAMN.

WELL, MY MOM USED TO SAY,

"PEOPLE DO THE BEST THEY CAN WHEN THEY CAN."

HER BEST WASN'T ANYTHING.

YOU THINK SHE CHANGED?

I DON'T KNOW. WELL, SOMETIMES PEOPLE CAN SURPRISE YOU.

HOMEWORK?

OH. MY MODEL U.N. SPEECH.

MM. THAT'S A LOT OF WORK...

ON TOP OF WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOUR MOM.

I'VE BEEN THROUGH WORSE.

MY DAD DIED WHEN I WAS 5.

AND SUDDENLY, I WAS ALWAYS WORRIED ABOUT MY MOM...

YOU KNOW, HOW SAD SHE WAS

AND HOW MUCH SHE MISSED HIM.

AND I STOPPED BEING HER KID.

YOU KNOW, SHE WAS ALWAYS TRYING TO KEEP ME BUSY,

THINKING THAT... YOU KNOW, THEN I WOULDN'T WORRY.

SAME. BUT THEN I WAS JUST BUSY AND WORRIED,

AND AFTER A WHILE, IT...

WELL, IT WAS ALL TOO MUCH.

I WORRY EVERY DAY.

JULIE, LISTEN TO ME.

THIS PROCEDURE...

YOUR MOM COULD LIVE THE REST OF HER LIFE

WITHOUT EVER HAVING ANOTHER SEIZURE.

MY MOM THINKS THE SURGERY IS A MISTAKE.

AND I-I...

I WANT WHAT SHE WANTS.

KEEP YOUR EXPECTATIONS LOW, OKAY?

AND IF YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND, YOU KNOW,

YOU CAN ALWAYS LEAVE WITHOUT SEEING HER. THAT'S OKAY.

NO HARM DONE. YOU SURE YOU DON'T WANT ME TO GO WITH YOU? NO, THAT'S OKAY. I'LL BE FINE.

BUT THANKS. OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE I CAN DO FOR YOU?

WHEN I GET HOME TONIGHT,

I'M GONNA... WANT NUDITY,

ALL KINDS OF NUDITY.

ABSOLUTELY.

I'M PROUD OF YOU.

WHAT?

I NEED TO SAY SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE NOT GONNA WANT TO HEAR.

THEN HOW ABOUT YOU DON'T SAY IT?

CAN YOU LISTEN, PLEASE?

YOU GOT 60 SECONDS.

OKAY.

UM...

WHEN THEY PROSECUTED...

MY RAPIST,

UM, THERE WAS THIS WOMAN

IN THE GALLERY OF THE COURTROOM.

AND SHE WATCHED, AND SHE LISTENED

TO WHAT I HAD GONE THROUGH, AND SHE CAME EVERY DAY.

AND THEN AT THE END OF THE TRIAL,

SHE, UH, INTRODUCED HERSELF TO ME,

AND SHE THANKED ME FOR, UH,

FOR HAVING THE COURAGE THAT SHE DIDN'T HAVE.

TURNS OUT THAT HE HAD... RAPED HER, TOO,

ABOUT SIX MONTHS BEFORE.

AND I STARED AT HER

AND I JUST WANTED TO...

SLAP HER,

BECAUSE I KNEW THAT IF SHE HAD COME FORWARD

THEN MAYBE--MAYBE--

I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN RAPED.

SCREW YOU, VIOLET.

CHARLOTTE... THE LINEUP IS IMPORTANT.

NO MATTER HOW HARD IT IS, I CAN TELL YOU FROM EXPERIENCE

THAT IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO.

TIME'S UP. GET OUT.

HI, MOM.

HI.

HELLO, FRANCES.

I WAS HOPING YOU'D COME.

YOU LOOK GOOD, PETER. YOU FILLED OUT.

IT'S PETE NOW.

OH, THAT SUITS YOU BETTER.

OKAY. ANY CHEST PAINS, PALPITATIONS?

ADAM TELLS ME YOU'RE REMARRIED

AND YOU HAVE A SON.

I'D LOVE TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR FAMILY.

WELL, HIS WIFE'S A DOCTOR.

VIOLET. AND THEIR LITTLE BOY LUCAS.

LUCAS. MM-HMM.

THAT'S A GOOD NAME FOR A BOY.

WELL, YOUR CHART IS A MESS.

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD ANY OF YOUR DOCTORS TALK ABOUT

ELEVATED BLOOD PRESSURE, HIGH LEVELS OF CHOLESTEROL,

OR TRIGLYCERIDES? I HARDLY EVER SEE A DOCTOR.

THEY DON'T PAY MUCH ATTENTION TO ME.

YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'RE OLD AND IN PRISON,

SOMEBODY COMES AND CHECKS TO SEE YOU'RE BREATHING,

THEN THEY JUST MOVE ALONG. UH, AND THAT'S WHY PETE'S HERE,

'CAUSE I TOLD HIM HOW THEY TREAT YOU IN HERE

AND--AND HOW BAD YOU'VE BEEN FEELING.

LET HER TALK FOR HERSELF, ADAM. YOUR BROTHER'S RIGHT.

HE'S TRYING TO DO HIS JOB. JUST LET HIM.

YOU STILL SMOKING AND DRINKING?

NOT OFFICIALLY. SOME THINGS DON'T CHANGE.

NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY.

I--IT'S JUST THAT WE'RE ALL TOGETHER AGAIN.

YOU'RE A DOCTOR.

AND HE'S A LAWYER.

WOULD YOU EVER IMAGINE?

IT'S NICE.

I'M SORRY. I WON'T...

I'M SORRY.

HEY.

OKAY.

OKAY WHAT?

I'LL DO THE LINEUP.

I WILL CALL DETECTIVE PRICE. WHEN DO YOU WANT TO GO IN?

I THOUGHT I'D ASK VIOLET TO GO WITH ME.

OH. WHY?

WELL, SHE'S BEEN THROUGH THE SYSTEM... WITH KATIE.

I THOUGHT IT WOULD MAKE THINGS EASIER FOR ME

TO HAVE HER THERE.

IS THAT OKAY?

SURE. OF COURSE. WHATEVER IT TAKES.

SHE'S DIFFERENT, RIGHT?

35 YEARS IN JAIL, IT CHANGED HER.

HOW COULD IT NOT?

IT DOESN'T CHANGE WHAT HAPPENED.

I'M NOT SAYING IT DOES.

BUT WE CAN'T LET HER DIE IN THERE.

WASN'T ALL BAD.

REMEMBER THE SWIMMING?

SHE USED TO LET US SWIM IN MR. KRAMER'S POOL

WHENEVER HE WENT OUT OF TOWN. WE WERE BREAKING AND ENTERING.

YEAH, BUT IT WAS STILL SWIMMING.

YOU LOVED IT. WE ALL DID.

A HOT SUMMER NIGHT,

JUST THE THREE OF US, SWIMMING AND LAUGHING.

STOP IT. STOP WHAT?

STOP TRYING TO SELL HER TO ME LIKE A USED CAR SALESMAN.

I WAS THERE. I REMEMBER EVERYTHING. THAT'S THE PROBLEM.

I REMEMBER EVERYTHING. WELL, MAYBE SHE'D DO IT DIFFERENTLY IF SHE COULD.

MAYBE SHE WOULDN'T. I DON'T KNOW.

YOU KNOW SOMETHING? YOU HAVE A CHANCE

TO DO SOMETHING RIGHT FOR THIS FAMILY.

SO IF YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT HER, THAT'S FINE.

BUT YOU DO THIS FOR ME.

HEY.

HEY.

SO I SPOKE TO JULIE,

AND I THINK SHE WANTS HER MOTHER TO HAVE THE SURGERY NOW.

FIRST OF ALL, YOU HAD NO RIGHT TO TALK TO HER

WITHOUT HER MOTHER'S CONSENT. SECOND...

HOW DO YOU KNOW?

WELL, IT WASN'T EXPLICIT, BUT I COULD TELL.

EVEN IF YOU'RE RIGHT, SHARON DOESN'T WANT IT.

SHARON DOESN'T WANT IT BECAUSE OF JULIE,

BECAUSE YOU SCARED HER AND MADE HER FEEL LIKE

SHE WAS PLACING HER DAUGHTER IN A TERRIBLE POSITION. AMELIA--

NO, IF WE DO NOTHING, JULIE IS GONNA WAKE UP IN TEN YEARS,

AND HER MOTHER IS GONNA BE A VEGETABLE. BUT JULIE WILL BE AN ADULT.

I'M AN ADULT.

DO YOU THINK THAT MEANS I MISS MY FATHER ANY LESS?

HE NEVER SAW ME BECOME A SURGEON.

HE IS NOT GONNA WALK ME DOWN THE AISLE.

HE IS NOT GONNA SEE MY KIDS.

I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING, ADDISON...

ANYTHING TO HAVE HIM.

YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT 10 OR 15 GOOD YEARS.

I AM TALKING ABOUT A LIFETIME.

IF SOMEBODY WOULD'VE GIVEN ME THE CHANCE

TO HAVE HIM FOR ALL OF THAT...

EVEN IF SHE'S CHANGED,

IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WHAT SHE DID DIDN'T HAPPEN.

BUT IT ALSO DOESN'T MEAN SHE CAN'T BE FORGIVEN.

I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN GO THAT FAR.

YOU FORGAVE ME.

OH! I GOTTA WORK ON MY TIMING.

WELL, AT LEAST I GOT MY PANTS ON THIS TIME.

YEAH. THANK YOU.

NO, THANK YOU. HEY, HUSBAND NUMBER TWO.

STEP FORWARD.

WHICH, UH, CHEEK DID HE KISS?

WHAT IS THAT FOR?

FOR TALKING TO CHARLOTTE.

YOU DID TALK TO HER? YOU CONVINCED HER?

I SPOKE TO HER. OH, THANK YOU.

WHAT TIME ARE YOU GOING TO THE STATION?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

FOR THE LINEUP.

OH, CHARLOTTE WANTS YOU TO TAKE HER. DID SHE NOT SAY ANYTHING?

UH, OH. THEN I WILL. OF COURSE. I WILL.

YEAH.

HEY.

HI.

YOUR MOM SAID YOU WERE DOWN HERE DOING YOUR HOMEWORK.

YEAH, I AM. I WAS.

I'M JUST-- I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT

IF MY MOM'S SEIZURES ARE HAPPENING CLOSER TOGETHER.

I-I-I THINK THEY ARE.

YOU TAKE GOOD CARE OF HER, DON'T YOU?

WE TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER.

SHE'S MY MOM, YOU KNOW?

I DON'T, ACTUALLY.

I'M NOT REALLY... UH, BIZ--MY MOM AND I,

WE'RE NOT, UH... WE'RE NOT CLOSE.

SO TO ME, HAVING TEN GOOD YEARS WITH YOUR MOM,

WELL, THAT SEEMS LIKE A LOT.

BUT, YOU KNOW, THE KIND OF RELATIONSHIP

THAT THE TWO OF YOU HAVE-- YEAH, MY MOM'S AMAZING AND BRAVE.

I DON'T MIND DOING THIS.

I REALLY DON'T.

I'M SURE THAT THAT'S TRUE,

WHICH IS WHY I THINK

THAT YOU'VE EARNED THE RIGHT TO HAVE A SAY IN THIS.

IF IT WERE UP TO YOU, WHAT WOULD YOU WANT?

NUMBER 1, STEP FORWARD.

NO.

NUMBER 1, STEP BACK.

NUMBER 2, STEP FORWARD.

STEP BACK, NUMBER 2.

NUMBER 3, STEP FORWARD.

NO.

NUMBER 3, STEP BACK.

NUMBER 4, STEP FORWARD.

HE'S NOT HERE.

ARE YOU SURE?

YES. I'M SURE.

HEY.

DID SHE PICK OUR GUY? SHE LOOKED HIM STRAIGHT IN THE EYE

AND SAID HE WASN'T THE ONE. BUT SHE SAW HIM.

SHE KNOWS HE'S THE GUY. WELL, NOT ANYMORE.

WELL, WHAT HAPPENS TO LEE?

ASK HIM YOURSELF.

YOU CAN'T SEEM TO GET ENOUGH OF THIS PLACE, CAN YOU, DOC?

THERE'S PLENTY OF OTHER PLACES I'D RATHER BE.

WELL, THEN YOU AND I, WE GOT SOMETHING IN COMMON.

YOU'LL DO IT AGAIN, LEE.

YOU'LL RAPE ANOTHER WOMAN.

YOU DON'T HAVE ANY PROOF THAT I DID IT.

AND EVEN IF I DID DO IT, IT DOESN'T MEAN I'D DO IT AGAIN.

YOU THINK IF YOU KEEP TELLING YOURSELF THAT, IT WON'T HAPPEN?

THOSE FEELINGS? THEY DON'T GO AWAY.

AND WHEN THEY SURFACE? WELL, WE BOTH KNOW WHAT HAPPENS.

YOU DON'T KNOW ME.

THAT WAS HIM, WASN'T IT-- NUMBER 4?

NO.

I SAW YOU, CHARLOTTE--

THE WAY YOU REACTED WHEN HE STEPPED FORWARD,

THE WAY YOU LOOKED AT HIM.

THAT WAS THE GUY THAT ATTACKED YOU.

I SAID NO.

YOU DIDN'T BRING ME HERE FOR MORAL SUPPORT, DID YOU?

YOU WANTED A WITNESS TO GO TELL COOPER THAT YOU HAD TRIED,

BECAUSE IF HE HAD BEEN HERE,

HE WOULD'VE SEEN HOW YOU REACTED,

AND HE WOULD'VE KNOWN, TOO. CHARLOTTE, LISTEN TO ME.

I HAVE BEEN THROUGH THIS, AND THIS IS HARD--

I AM SO SICK AND TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT YOUR RAPE.

THAT WAS 20 YEARS AGO,

AND YOU'RE STILL TALKING ABOUT IT, HOW YOU GOT OVER IT.

YAY, YOU. IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR? NO, IT--THAT--

IF YOU ASK ME, YOU ARE NOT SO WHOLE AND NORMAL.

YOU ARE NOT SO PUT TOGETHER.

YOU ARE HIGH-STRUNG, NEUROTIC,

AND YOU STICK YOUR NOSE INTO OTHER PEOPLE'S BUSINESS.

THAT IS WHAT YOU DO, AND I AM TIRED OF IT!

HEY.

I'VE BEEN LOOKING AT MY MOTHER'S CHART.

I THINK I FOUND SOMETHING.

ALL RIGHT, I SEE SOME MILD C.O.P.D.

AND EVIDENCE OF ATHEROSCLEROTIC HEART DISEASE,

WHICH IS PRETTY STANDARD

FROM A LONG-TERM SMOKER YOUR MOTHER'S AGE.

I SEE RECURRENT IDIOPATHIC V-FIB.

WELL, THAT'S A POTENTIALLY LETHAL CONDITION,

AND I DON'T SEE ANY INDICATION OF THAT.

RECURRENT V-FIB REQUIRES

A SURGICALLY IMPLANTED AUTOMATIC DEFIBRILLATOR,

WHICH THEY CAN'T MONITOR IN PRISON.

IF SHE NEEDED IT,

THEY'D PROBABLY JUST RELEASE HER ON HUMANITARIAN GROUNDS.

THEY WON'T ACCEPT A MEDICAL RECOMMENDATION FROM ME.

I'M FAMILY. BUT THEY WOULD ACCEPT ONE FROM YOU.

I KNOW WHAT I'M ASKING.

HERE'S MY LETTERHEAD.

WRITE WHATEVER YOU WANT ON IT, AND I'LL SIGN IT.

ALL RIGHT. I'M GONNA GET A DRINK OF WATER.

WHOA. WHOA.

HEY, HOW ARE YOU?

DADDY! WHAT'S UP, BOY?

COME ON. HI.

HOW WAS YOUR DAY, BIG GUY? GOOD.

YOU SLAY ANY MONSTERS? YEAH?

IF I GIVE THIS TO SAM, HE SAID HE'D SIGN IT.

I THINK I CAN GET HER OUT.

YOU SURE THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT TO DO?

I THINK SO.

YES.

AND YOU'RE OKAY WITH THE FACT THAT IT'S-- IT'S A LIE?

IF I WANT TO GET HER OUT, I DON'T HAVE A CHOICE.

WELL, SOMETIMES LIES HURT PEOPLE,

AND SOMETIMES THEY PROTECT PEOPLE.

CHARLOTTE DELIBERATELY DIDN'T IDENTIFY HER ATTACKER

IN THE LINEUP. SHE LIED.

WHY?

BECAUSE SHE COULDN'T FACE UP TO IT,

AND NOW SOMEONE ELSE MIGHT GET HURT.

WELL, MY MOM IS NOT GONNA HURT ANYONE ELSE.

WELL, MAYBE YOURS IS A GOOD LIE.

HEY.

HEY.

YOU READY, BABE?

DR. SHEPHERD'S JUST SIGNING MY DISCHARGE PAPERS.

ACTUALLY, UH, JULIE HAS SOMETHING

THAT SHE WANTS TO SAY TO YOU.

WHAT IS IT?

I THINK YOU SHOULD HAVE THE PROCEDURE. WHAT?

ARE YOU INVOLVED IN THIS?

ACTUALLY, I SPOKE WITH JULIE.

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT-- NO, MOM... NO.

THIS IS ABOUT ME, TOO.

I KNOW THAT YOU WANT TO PROTECT ME.

BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MANY DANCE LESSONS

OR SPORTS OR CLASSES THAT YOU SIGN ME UP FOR...

I NEVER STOP BEING SCARED.

SO I NEED YOU TO TAKE THIS CHANCE.

I NEED YOU TO HAVE THE SURGERY.

WHAT IF SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS?

WE'LL--WE'LL DEAL WITH IT LIKE WE ALWAYS DO,

FIGURE IT OUT TOGETHER.

BECAUSE I DON'T WANT JUST TEN MORE YEARS.

OKAY?

OKAY.

WHEN CAN YOU DO IT?

HEY.

WHAT HAPPENED?

HE WASN'T THERE. WHAT?

HE WASN'T IN THE LINEUP. REALLY?

DETECTIVE PRICE WAS SO SURE.

WELL, IT'S OKAY. WE'LL GET HIM NEXT TIME. NO.

NO NEXT TIME.

I'M DONE, COOPER.

THERE ARE STILL SOME HOOPS TO JUMP THROUGH, BUT I MIGHT

BE ABLE TO GET YOU OUT OF HERE BEFORE THE END OF THE MONTH.

YOU SURPRISE ME.

WHY?

I DIDN'T THINK YOU'D COME THROUGH.

YOUR BROTHER ALWAYS DID, BUT, YOU KNOW,

HE WANTS TO BELIEVE THE BEST IN PEOPLE, BUT YOU--

I HAVE TO BE CERTAIN... ABOUT PEOPLE.

HOW CAN I MAKE YOU CERTAIN?

I NEED TO KNOW THAT YOU'VE CHANGED.

WELL, I LIKE TO THINK I HAVE.

I-I NEED TO KNOW...

ARE YOU SORRY THAT YOU KILLED HENRY?

WELL, MAYBE IT WAS THE DRINKING OR THE DRUGS.

I NEVER SAW THE GOOD IN HIM THAT YOU DID.

IF I SAY THAT I'M SORRY FOR KILLING HIM,

YOU WON'T BELIEVE ME.

YOU'LL THINK I'M LYING.

AND IF I SAY I'M NOT SORRY, THEN YOU'LL THINK I HAVEN'T CHANGED.

EITHER WAY, I'M STUCK IN HERE. YOU SEE THAT?

SO WHO DO YOU WANT ME TO BE, PETE? JUST TELL ME.

WELL, I'M NOT EVEN SURE THAT IT MATTERS ANYMORE.

I-I--MY WHOLE LIFE,

I JUST WANTED YOU TO BE MY MOTHER, BUT...

WELL, I WAS NEVER VERY GOOD AT BEING THAT, WAS I?

BUT IF YOU'RE WILLING TO DO THIS, TO HELP ME NOW--

THEN WHAT?

THEN YOU'LL START TO CARE?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WANT FROM ME.

DO YOU WANT ME TO TELL YOU THAT I LOVE YOU,

THAT I REGRET EVERY SINGLE THING I EVER DID TO YOU?

I DON'T KNOW. I...

I JUST KNOW THAT THIS...

IT CAN'T BE SOME KIND OF A DEAL.

DON'T LIE FOR ME.

AND I WON'T LIE FOR YOU.

WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?

NOTHING.

LEE HAS A GIRLFRIEND...

AND A LITTLE BOY.

HE HAS PEOPLE IN HIS LIFE WHO HE COULD HURT

OR TEACH TO DO SOME TERRIBLE THINGS.

WHY WOULD YOU TELL ME THIS? I THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW.

I AM TIRED OF PEOPLE TELLING ME WHAT I SHOULD KNOW.

WE'RE ALL TRYING TO HELP.

YOU'RE NOT.

WELL...

IF YOU FIGURE OUT HOW I CAN...

SO I MADE A PROMISE,

BUT I CAN'T KEEP IT...

BECAUSE, UH, AS A THERAPIST,

I KNOW THAT KEEPING THAT PROMISE

IS DAMAGING CHARLOTTE MORE THAN SHE'S ALREADY BEEN DAMAGED.

WH-WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

SHE WAS RAPED... COOPER.

CHARLOTTE WAS RAPED.

SO YOU NEED TO BE VERY GENTLE WITH HER,

BECAUSE... WHAT SHE NEEDS IS SOMEONE TO LOVE HER,

NO MATTER WHAT,

EVEN IF SHE CHOOSES TO DO THE WRONG THING.

HEY.

HOW IS SHE DOING?

WELL, AT THE RISK OF SOUNDING IMMODEST,

SHE'S GREAT.

ADAM.

WHY ARE YOU NOT HELPING HER?

IT'S COMPLICATED. NO, ACTUALLY, IT'S NOT.

YOU GET THE PAPER. YOU GET THE RIGHT PIECE OF PAPER,

AND YOU GET HER OUT OF THAT HELLHOLE. IT WOULD BE LYING.

AND WHO WOULD THAT HURT, PETE? SHE'S OLD, AND SHE'S SICK AND--

SHE KILLED HENRY.

SHE KILLED HIM...

RIGHT IN FRONT OF US.

SHE IS STILL OUR MOTHER. SHE WAS NEVER A MOTHER TO US.

SHE DESERVES TO BE WHERE SHE IS.

YOU--DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT?

I KNOW IT, ADAM.

LOOK, I--

I'M TO BLAME FOR PART OF THIS.

I SHOULD'VE PROTECTED YOU FROM HER, FROM ALL OF THIS,

OR I SHOULD'VE DONE MORE-- ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT. JUST-- JUST DO SOMETHING NOW.

HELPING HER IS NOT THE SAME AS HELPING YOU.

SHE'S GONNA DIE IN THERE.

BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU AND I...

WE SHOULD TRY TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP.

TRY WITH HER.

COME ON--COME ON IN. HAVE A DRINK.

VIOLET IS HERE, AND LUCAS-- HOW CAN I PRETEND TO BE OKAY WITH A BROTHER

WHO TURNS HIS BACK ON HIS OWN MOTHER AND ON ME?

ADAM, I-- NO, NO, PETE, IF YOU'RE NOT GONNA HELP HER...

I'M GONE.

WHOA.

HEY, COOP. HOW ARE YA?

CAN I TELL YOU, I HAD THE MOST AMAZING DAY?

I KICKED SOME SERIOUS NEURO ASS.

I-I WANT TO CELEBRATE. HEY, LET'S GO FOR A DRINK.

WELL, I CAN'T DRINK, BUT YOU CAN.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

YOU KNOW WHAT I WAS DOING WHEN THAT MAN HURT CHARLOTTE?

I WAS DRINKING WITH YOU. I WAS FLIRTING WITH YOU.

SO, NO, I DON'T WANT TO HAVE A DRINK WITH YOU RIGHT NOW...

OR EVER.

LEAVE ME ALONE, OKAY?

LEAVE ME ALONE.

I WANT A BABY.

WHAT?

A BABY, I WANT ONE...

SOON.

AND I DON'T...

I DON'T NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT.

IN FACT, I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT. I JUST...

OUR LIFE IS GOOD. WE'RE GOOD.

BUT I JUST THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW...

I WANT A BABY.

I WANT TO BE A MOTHER.

AND I'M NOT GONNA BE INTERESTED IN WAITING.

I DID THE RIGHT THING.

I DID.

TELL ME I DID THE RIGHT THING.

YOU DID THE RIGHT THING.

YOU'RE LYING.

SOMETIMES LIES ARE GOOD.

SOMETIMES LIES ARE NOT LIES.

THEY'RE LOVE.

YOU KNOW.

COME HERE.

I LOVE YOU.

I AM IN LOVE WITH YOU. I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER...

NO MATTER WHAT.

THIS DOESN'T...

I'M YOURS. OKAY?

I'M YOURS.

I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU CAN'T...

I.D. THAT MAN.

I GET IT.

YOU DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH THAT.

I UNDERSTAND. I DO.

BUT HE CAN'T GO FREE.

THAT MAN--HE CANNOT GO FREE.

YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO SLEEP AT NIGHT.

YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO BREATHE,

TO BE YOU.

HE CAN'T GO FREE.

SO I DON'T WANT YOU TO WORRY. YOU WILL BE PROTECTED.

I WILL...

GET A GUN...

MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A MUGGING.

I-I...

THAT MAN IS NOT GOING FREE.

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT HAPPENS TO ME.

THAT MAN IS NOT GOING FREE. I AM NOT GONNA LET YOU--

IT'S NUMBER 2.

ARE YOU SURE?

IT'S NUMBER 2.
