"Ow!" "Damn it." "You okay?" "Yeah." "I'm okay." "What are you doing?" "I'm making lucas a Halloween costume." "I'm trying to make lucas a Halloween costume." "Ow!" "Uh, you know, I think they sell costumes." "My mother made" "These really great Halloween costumes." "My fourth-grade sunflower won first prize." "No, and then one year, I was raggedy ann," "And she made these authentic pantaloons" "With a wig made out of red yard." "And well, she actually sewed me into the pantaloons," "And then she told me that I couldn't get out of them," "So, um..." "I peed my pants trick-or-treating" "And was humiliated because she's a sadistic narcissist" "With serious intimacy issues," "But she made really great costumes." "Did you-- did you dress up?" "You ever go out trick-or-treating" "With your brother?" "Uh, adam and I used to egg trick-or-treaters." "Oh." "Was that fun?" "I'm late for the e.R." "Hey, big man." "Aw." "Bye." "Uh-oh." "You smell good." "I know." "I taste even better." "Mm." "Mm." "What are you doing?" "It's called foreplay." "Stop looking at my stomach like that." "Like what?" "Like you're trying to picture a baby in there." "Oh, I'm doing no such thing." "Oh, charlotte." "Oh, don't be that way." "he's been coming every day for how long?" "two years ago, weekend ski trip," "Georgie hit a tree, never regained consciousness." "None of the neuro guys gave him much hope." "But you're always good with referrals," "And so I just thought maybe-- we could help him come to terms with this." "He hasn't let go at all." "Amelia will be honest with him." "Oh." "Uh, bright lights don't do much for georgie." "But she likes being talked to." "See?" "You can say it's just a reflex." "All the other doctors did." "But I know it's more than that." "The trauma to your wife's head" "Damaged her reticular activating system," "Which controls her level of consciousness." "Like waking up." "I know." "Then you also know" "That it is hard to determine how extensive the damage is." "Which means I could be right." "She hears me and responds to me." "It's possible, but georgie is only manifesting" "Very primitive reactions" " I mean, a twitch, a blink." "After all this time, that doesn't bode well." "Look, I can run a bunch of tests, but-- then run them." "I don't want you to get your hopes up, mr." "Schwartz." "Um, my hopes are already up." "They have to be." "Run the tests?" "what have we got?" "m.V.A., car versus pole." "2 males, jacob deever, 43 years old," "Wearing seat belt, minor facial lacerations" "And a bruised arm." "22 year old, evan arnold, unrestrained," "Closed head trauma, and possible fractured tibia." "Hey, look, uh, really, I'm fine." "I" " I don't need to be here." "Mr. Deever, I'm dr." "Wilder." "We're gonna help you out," "But I need you to relax for just a minute" "While I examine the other driver." "We were in the same car." "He, uh..." "Evan-- he hit his head on the windshield." "Okay, let's get a c-spine," "Chest, a pelvic trauma panel, and a head c.T." "Either of you have anything to drink?" "What?" "No." "No, no," "I" " I just happened to take my eyes off the road for a second." "What about drugs, prescription or otherwise?" "No, no." "God, no." "Y- you know what?" "I have an appointment that I need to get to, so-- okay, let me just get someone" "To clean up that scrape on your head, and-- oh, no, no, no." "It's good." "It's good." "I'm actually fine." "I just need to go." "Mr. Deever, you have the right to refuse treatment, but you're" "Going to have to talk to the police about the accident." "Why don't you wait for me" "At the nurses' station, mr." "Deever?" "I'll get your statement, then you can go." "He seems pretty antsy." "Should we hold him for a tox screen?" "That's not why he's nervous." "I know this guy that he's with." "Arrested him a couple times the past few months." "He's a prostitute." "hey." "You want to see something funky?" "33-year-old woman, georgie schwartz," "Persistent vegetative state for over 24 months." "Ugh." "Looks like the case study for my neuroanatomy final." "I hated neuroanatomy." "Just skip down to the labs." "Her t.S.H. Is low," "But her thyroid levels look fine." "I don't get it." "Hmm." "Iron-deficient anemia." "Mm." "You're focusing on the wrong organ." "Your patient's pregnant." "All I did was put my hand on her stomach," "Which is usually the prelude to a little somethin' somethin'." "She's got me boxed in." "I know the feeling." "You and pete aren't having sex?" "Uh, no." "We have a lot of sex." "Sorry." "No, I just meant the boxed in part." "Okay, I'm gonna, um..." "I am gonna tell you something," "But you can't ever-- never ever-- tell anyone." "Never ever." "Okay." "Never ever." "Never ever." "Pete's mother..." "She's in prison." "What?" "What, like prison "prison"?" "What'd she do?" "Is she like a bunny boiler, or like bonnie and clyde?" "I don't know." "He won't talk about her." "He's got a brother." "He won't talk about him." "Which is obviously wrong." "He should tell me this stuff." "I should know about it, right?" "I mean, I'm his wife." "What'd you do?" "Nothing." "Violet maryann turner." "Okay, I googled." "There are 33 adam wilders." "Mm-hmm." "So you think we can start trying?" "Oh, you're healed from your bladder reconstruction," "And your kidney function's back to normal." "I think you'd be crazy not to." "Laying in that hospital bed, this always felt so far away." "Sometimes I thought it would never happen." "But now I'm ready." "Oh, we're ready..." "For a baby." "If you want my advice," "Forgbout ovulation days and thermometers" "And just have fun." "I can't wait to tell my husband." "Hon." "Uh, dr." "King, this is my husband jacob." "Nice to meet you." "So nice to meet you." "You okay?" "Yeah." "Good." "Enjoy." "Thanks again." "Hey, charlotte." "Do you know that guy?" "He's the husband of one of my patients." "Is something wrong?" "He-- he was in the e.R. A couple of hours ago" "With a male prostitute." "Are you sure?" "They were in a car accident, same car." "Angela just spent a year in hell having her bladder reconstructed" "So she could have a baby with that man." "But if he's out there rubbing on some guy, she needs to know." "All right, before we destroy both their lives," "Don't you think we should figure out exactly what's going on?" "A married man gets into a car wreck on his lunch hour" "With some hustler in the other seat." "Yeah." "Let's give him the benefit of the doubt." "So I narrowed it down" "To three adam wilders." "Oh, no." "That is so him." "Do you think so?" "Yeah." "Is that pete in college?" "See?" "What?" "Well, we're looking for pete's brother-- cooper!" "Did you remember "never ever"?" "Never ever." "Sorry." "Never ever will I mention this." "Thank you." "Is he missing?" "He's-- he's-- he's-- he's estranged." "Maybe not for long." "Pete doesn't know that you're doing this?" "Well, there's-- there's no harm in looking." "Well, what would pete's response be?" "W- well, if I told him it was for his own good" "Well, then I'd say why are you the one doing this?" "And once you find him, wh-what's the plan?" "I- is that-- the baby's heartbeat." "I'm sorry." "Oh, my god." "Can I talk to you for a minute?" "Yeah." "I don't know how this happened." "It's pretty clear how it happened." "We've never had a problem like this here." "We screen every staff member." "We do background checks." "And I've helped take care" "Of a lot of their patients." "It's not that kind of a place." "You still need to call the police." "Please." "If you can just give me a chance" "To figure this out." "Someone here had sex with a comatose woman." "That's a crime." "Well, georgie's not the only victim here." "What does that mean?" "Look at her husband." "The man's destroyed." "Our primary interest here" "Should be in doing what's best for the couple." "They've already been through one trauma," "So instead of putting them through another," "Which bob would have to handle on his own," "We need to protect them, addison." "Don't even think about it." "Do not shut that door." "Do not close those blinds." "Cooper, do not take your pants off." "we're in the middle of a fight." "Calling a truce." "Good luck with that." "What?" "You know what?" "I do?" "We should've called the police." "Oh." "You're still talking about the case?" "I was right, and you were wrong." "Okay." ""okay," I was right?" ""okay," you have your opinion, I have mine." "That was at work." "We're at home now." "So let's not talk about it any more until we're at work again." "What?" "What is that?" "Does that actually work for you, leave work at work?" "Well, yeah." "That's what me and naomi-- I am not naomi." "I know." "I know that, I know-- all right, I am mad, sam." "and my mad doesn't go away just because I'm at home." "I take my work home with me." "Addison, come on." "I was right, and you were wrong." "You know what?" "Go home to your own bed." "No sex for you." "Wait, wait, wait." "So you're punishing me" "For having an opposing professional opinion" "By withholding sexual favors, really?" "No sex for you." "Good night, addison." "Look, uh," "You know, I" " I really appreciate" "You not calling angela." "You know, I..." "If she knew about..." "It was just a lapse of judgment." "I was at the gas station." "He asked for a ride." "And he seemed harmless, so" "Mr. Deever, don't talk to me like I'm an idiot." "Well, what exactly do you think happened?" "Evan's a prostitute." "I think you paid him for sex." "you think..." "Look, I-I've been married to my wife for almost 20 years." "I love her." "I would never cheat on her." "And with a man?" "That's disgusting." "A-are you kidding me right now?" "I'm not here to judge you." "I just want you to understand" "That dr." "King is ready to talk to your wife." "you leave angela out of this." "She is none of your business." "And, dr." "Wilder," "Nothing happened between me and that man." "You hear me?" "Nothing." "this..." "It-- it-- it doesn't seem real." "You must feel..." "Actually, I don't know how you must feel," "But I want you to know that I will do" "Everything I can for your wife." "I'd like to do a full examination as soon as possible," "And then I don't see any reason" "Why we can't terminate the pregnancy immediately." "W- wait." "W-w-why?" "Oh, I'm..." "Sorry." "I" " I didn't even ask about your religious beliefs." "I" " I..." "I just assumed" "That given how this happened to georgie-- no, why are you talking about this" "Like it's a-a terrible thing?" "Mr. Schwartz, do you understand" "That georgie is pregnant" "Because someone went into her room and..." "Impregnated her?" "Not someone, dr." "Montgomery." "Me." "The woman is in a coma, sam." "She can't move or speak, which means she cannot consent." "They're husband and wife." "Wh-- you think that being married" "Means you don't have the right to say no?" "No, I'm not saying that." "This man climbed on top of a comatose woman" "All right, I-I am not defending what bob did." "But the man is broken." "I mean, you look at him-- you see how he interacts with her." "He needs counseling, a- a way to accept" "That she's not coming back." "Bob schwartz is a sick, twisted pervert, right?" "Please tell him." "The husband could be using sex as an outlet for his grief." "Or, if he truly believes his wife can feel" "And that she can respond, then" " I've seen it before" "With the families of comatose patients." "They suffer a loss that they cannot accept," "And they try to ignore it." "These situations are complicated" "It's not complicated." "We call the police, and they arrest this guy." "Oh, come on, addison." "He is god knows how far" "Into an emotional breakdown." "He-he's not out to harm her." "He's deluded." "He bathes her." "He-- he feeds her." "He-- he violates her," "And now he's actually expecting her to have this baby." "I mean, I have seen a lot of things" "Since I became a doctor, but this is unimaginable." "Have the baby?" "What, is that possible with her in a coma?" "Probably not." "It's happened." "Rarely, and georgie is already at risk of throwing an embolism." "Pregnancy would increase that tenfold." "Well, I'm not saying I necessarily think" "That georgie should have the baby-- well, unfortunately, georgie doesn't have a say in this." "And after I'm done, neither will bob." "What are you gonna do, take him to court," "Try and strip him of medical power of attorney?" "If I have to, yes." "Addison-- you really disagree with me on this, sam?" "Really?" "Let me talk to him." "Maybe I can help him understand" "Why he's doing what he's doing." "I'll chaperone." "We're all pushing in the same direction, addison." "all right." "I'll give you a day, one day." "And we're not all pushing in the same direction, sam." "I am right." "You're wrong." "How'd your meeting go with jacob?" "He claims he didn't know evan was a prostitute." "You believe him?" "Should I?" "I tested jacob's blood for h.I.V." "Charlotte, you can't test someone's blood" "Without their permission." "He came in to my hospital." "I'm the chief of staff." "That doesn't give you the right to t-- he's positive." "And in case your curious," "I checked angela's blood, too." "She's negative." "We have to tell her." "They're actively trying to have a child." "It can't come from us." "They made a damn law that allows us to do it, pete." "Allows, doesn't require." "why are you still trying to protect this guy?" "I'm not, but yanking jacob out of the closet" "Isn't gonna help either of them." "You and I both know how devastating that would be." "Give me time with jacob." "Let me get him to see that he has to be the one to tell her," "That he owes it to her, to himself, to tell the truth." "How's the investigation?" "Adam wilder." "Lawyer in valencia." "Mm-hmm." "He looks okay, doesn't he?" "Seems normal." "Pete's been so elusive." "I was expecting america's most wanted." "Okay." "Read that." "Uh, "my name is violet turner," "And I am married to your brother pete."" "Yeah." "No, you cannot send this e-mail." "Pete wants this." "He just-- he just doesn't know that he wants it." "Oh, come on." "It'll be one of those things" "I'll do it, and he'll get pissed," "And then he'll thank me for it later on." "This is pete!" "You remember pete?" "The man still hates his dead wife." "Not a forgiver." "He's in pain, cooper." "No, you should've seen him." "He's-- he's in pain, and I want to help him." "I have to help him." "Is this helping?" "You press "send," that is contact." "You can't undo it." "So am I sleeping here tonight or next door?" "Whatever." "So what, we're ignoring each other now?" "I am trying not to say things I can't take back." "addison, bob schwartz" "I am trying not to say things I can't take back." "Bob schwartz..." "Has nothing to do with you and me," "Here and now." "How can you act like nothing's wrong," "Like today didn't even happen?" "We disagreed about something." "A huge something." "Look, addison, if working with you means" "We can only be together when we agree, then-- sex." "You want to have sex." "Is that all you think about?" "Yeah, addison." "That's all I ever think about, all day long," "How I can't wait to get home and have sex with you." "Okay." "Then let's do it." "Come on." "Let's have sex." "I'll lie here dead and still," "And you can have all the sex you want with my body." "Go ahead." "Knock yourself out." "Have a ball." "We'll be just like bob and georgie schwartz." "Or is that something that you and nai used to do, too?" "I told you I was trying" "Not to say things I can't take back." "You shoulda tried harder." "You know what I love about this place?" "None of this toting around thermoses." "Just good ol', environmentally unsound," "Nonbiodegradable," "Here-for-a-thousand-years plastic bottles." "Where are you off to all cheerful this morning?" "Sheldon and I are gonna go talk to your buddy, bob schwartz." "Is sam going with you?" "Shouldn't you know that?" "We're fighting over that case." "Seriously?" "He..." "He is wrong." "And he compared me to naomi." "Well..." "He didn't really, but he kind of did." "And then I..." "Whatever." "We're arguing about the case, and he's wrong." "You know he has a right to his own medical opinion?" "If I could come home to a guy like that," "I would not be wasting my time arguing about work." "Why can't you just stay out of my life?" "Please." "You didn't return my call." "Okay, you are not listening to me." "You're h.I.V. Positive." "What?" "what are you talking about?" "We took blood from you when you were in the e.R." "Well, that just can't be." "So..." "What?" "god." "What am I supposed to do now?" "There's someone I'd like you to talk to." "bob, what happened?" "Uh, she started bleeding." "At first, just a little, and then-- we're having trouble keeping her pressure up." "Okay, start a second line and get her to st." "Ambrose." "I'm calling addison." "Are you sure she's the best one?" "If you love your wife, mr." "Schwartz, she's the one." "I was just curious." "It..." "Only happened one time." "That's it." "you couldn't already be h.I.V. Positive" "From whatever happened with you and that guy in the car." "There's nothing wrong with having sex with men." "but there is something wrong" "With you living a lie like this." "I'm not lying." "So you know, withholding the fact" "That you're h.I.V. Positive from your sexual partners" "Could land you in prison." "Oh, please." "Look, look, jacob, jacob..." "Do you enjoy being intimate with your wife?" "You know, I enjoy making my wife happy." "That's not really the same thing." "I" " I just don't want to hurt her, okay?" "That's it." "I want everything that everyone else wants." "And I want to be happy..." "Be normal." "You can." "You can be happy and normal..." "And gay." "But as long as you're hiding this," "How can you really be happy?" "And until you're honest with angela, you" "No, no, no, no." "No, e-everything that we have" "Our marriage, maybe even a baby" "I just" " I can't take that away from her." "But she's never really gonna have that anyway." "And if you were honest with her, th" "How?" "Oh, god." "How can I tell her?" "Shouldn't be much longer now." "Georgie hates hospitals." "she's not gonna like it here." "Bob, you talk about georgie like she's present." "She is present..." "For me." "Physically, yes, but emotionally..." "I'm sure it's very difficult for you." "The hardest part..." "Is her not being able to talk." "Whenever anything bad happens, she always knows what to say." "You know, what the silver lining is" "And..." "I always wonder what she'd say about this." "She's be appreciative," "I'm sure, of everything you're doing." "But you understand that, even after the tests" "That dr." "Shepherd ran," "It's very unlikely that georgie" "Will ever be anything like the woman you married?" "Are-- are you trying to get me to walk away from her?" "I'm trying to get you to think realistically" "About your future." "She's my best friend." "I've never ever..." "She was my first, and she's supposed to be my last," "Till death do us part." "I can't just..." "She's my best friend." "I" " I can't abandon her." "We're-- we're-- we're supposed to die in each other's arms." "If she loved you half as much as you say," "She wouldn't want this for you." "She'd want you to be loved by someone who can love you back." "She'd want you happy." "I'm not saying give up on her, bob." "I'm just saying..." "Don't give up on yourself." "Hi." "Hi." "Nice job with jacob today." "Thanks." "Look what I bought." "it's a pumpkin." "And it's not plastic or cheap." "It's a handmade pumpkin costume." "So that lucas can have all the happy childhood memories," "And you can keep your thumbs." "I found adam." "What?" "Your brother." "I know who adam is." "He lives in-- stop talking." "Why are you so obsessed with this?" "It's my job to care." "You're shrinking me?" "No, as..." "As your wife." "It's my job to care as your wife." "Look, I know this is difficult, but-- but he's your family." "We're strangers, violet." "We were split up as teenagers." "We went to different houses." "I haven't talked to him since." "So maybe this is a good time to reach out." "Okay, um..." "For a second, uh, I will be a shrink." "All right?" "This emotional disconnect from your past," "From who you were, it's damaging." "It's unhealthy." "And it can affect your relationships down the line," "With-- with a child," "With a spouse." "I have to go back to work." "Your wife is okay, mr." "Schwartz." "Her cervix dilated, and the placenta detached," "But she's alive." "And the baby?" "We lost him." "I'm sorry." "You think jacob's ever gonna come back here and tell him?" "I think he's a little more concerned" "About telling his wife." "Then allow me." "Mr. Arnold..." "Do you practice safe sex with all your tricks?" "Always." "That's good, 'cause the man" "You got into the accident with-- jacob deever" "Tested positive for h.I.V." "We'd be happy to test you if you'd like," "But if you're telling the truth about using condoms," "It's not likely to be a problem." "No, you don't understand." "I said I practice safe sex with my tricks," "Not with the man I love." "Hey." "How's georgie?" "She's stable." "Bob's with her." "Great." "Unfortunately, he's less stable." "How much less stable can he be?" "Well, losing georgie," "For the most part, anyway, and now the baby," "I mean, these are profound losses." "He's confused and hurting." "But I talked to him about coming in" "To start working on his recovery, so..." "Good luck." "Right." "Come on, addie." "They give child molesters their kids back" "If they get enough counseling." "Really?" "You're starting to sound like sam." "Sam is not all wrong." "I have to go check up on georgie." "'cause you and I, we never give up." "We stick it out." "W- we never let anything get in the way of us." "sweetie..." "I'm sorry to tell you..." "We lost our baby." "There was nothing they could do." "But you know what?" "Don't worry." "'cause w-we'll keep trying." "We're gonna have a family one day, georgie." "charlotte just hung up on me." "She literally hung up the phone while I was mid-sentence." "I mean, I'm horny." "And she's mad..." "And horny." "What am I supposed to do?" "Uh, well, when you're boxed in, you need to get out of the box." "How do I do that?" "Do something you've never done before." "Like what?" "I don't know, coop." "I" " I got stuff on my mind." "Can you just figure it out for yourself?" "You finished the e-mail to pete's brother?" "Yeah." "I don't know what to do." "Do I send it?" "Do I erase it?" "I think you need to figure that out for yourself." "I just" " I just think, with adam, we could have a family." "You know, a real family." "Pete could have a brother," "I could learn more about who pete is" "And okay, that was about me, and I know this isn't about me." "Well, it's a little bit about me." "Violet" "I mean, pete might get mad." "Okay, he will get really mad." "And what if he and adam don't like each other as adults?" "What if adam doesn't like kids, and he's not nice to lucas?" "What if he's mean to lucas?" "I'm staying silent." "But a real family-- that's worth fighting for, right?" "And I-- and I think pete's-- I think he wants to fix this." "It's the right thing to do." "I know it is." "It's the right thing to do." "Mnh-mnh." "Mnh." "What did you do?" "Press "send." done." "Ship sailed." "You're mad?" "Do you know what this is gonna do" "To my marriage, to pete?" "D- d-- have you lost your mind?" "I didn't send it." "Ow!" "I was just trying to help you make up your mind." "I know." "I'm just..." "I'm frustrated." "Why won't pete talk to me?" "so is everything okay?" "Please tell me it's not my bladder again." "No." "I didn't call you in to talk about getting pregnant." "Angela, I do love you." "I've always loved you." "I love what we have together." "But what evan and I share is, uh..." "It's-- it's different." "I don't expect you to understand that" "Jacob, I know." "I've always known." "Not about evan, but about who you really are." "you don't spend 20 years with someone" "And not know." "Okay." "You have to know, I didn't mean to hurt you." "I know I should be enraged." "I know I should be screaming." "But all I can think about... is how hard this must have been for you..." "All the pretending, living two lives..." "Not being yourself." "god." "I'm so healthy." "I was gonna say..." "Listen, I wasn't completely pretending, okay?" "My feelings for you are real." "I just didn't know." "When we first met, I didn't know who I was." "Okay?" "Or maybe I did and I just didn't want to know." "I just didn't want to know." "But now you know." "And that's good." "That's a good thing." "I'm sorry." "I'm so sorry." "We will always be friends." "It's okay." "I'll be okay." "Take care of him." "I will." "Thank you." "I'm going to, um..." "I'm going to go." "There's something else you need to tell her, jacob." "Evan and I..." "We are both h.I.V. Positive." "you're negative, angela." "We'll test you again in six months." "Angela, please" "Hey." "What are you doing at your house?" "Well..." "I wasn't having much luck at your house." "You wanna try again?" "Do you?" "I called the police on bob." "I turned him in for molesting his wife." "All right." "Uh, give me a sec." "I'll be right over." "What, you're not mad?" "You think I'm right?" "No." "I'm furious." "You were wrong." "That man needed counseling," "He needed..." "I was right, and you were wrong." "But..." "That was at work." "We're at home now." "I'm gonna practice what I preach," "And, uh..." "I'll yell at you tomorrow." "So tomorrow we'll fight?" "But tonight?" "Sex for me." "Sex for you." "Okay." "I only got a half an hour, 'cause I'm supposed to meet cooper drinks." "Then we better make it count." "Hold that pose." "I'll be right over." "Sex for me." "I just need to see a doctor!" "I just need to see-- you need to take it easy." "Are you-- are you a real doctor?" "I need a" "I told you to pipe down." "Now sit down and wait your turn." "Someone will be with you in a minute." "Lively in here tonight, huh?" "Halloween brings out the crazies." "Mm-hmm." "What's that?" "Oh, this?" "Uh, this is a miniature alabama lane cake." "It was made just for you." "Is that how we make up now, with sweets?" "No, no." "This is a bribe." "This is how we make up." "I'm sorry." "I am so sorry." "I'm so, so, so sorry." "There's be no more baby talk, no pressure." "I mean, I don't even want to see a baby." "Ew." "Babies." "Mnh-mnh." "I just want to see you..." "Happy." "You're very cute when you're lying." "And maybe..." "We can practice not making a baby." "I'd plan on that." "Okay." "One, two, three." "Whoo!" "Isn't this fun?" "actually, it is." "I can see the merits of your family tradition." "Well, I thought Halloween wasn't your thing." "But it's your thing, so now it's our thing." "hey." "Okay..." "Go ahead." "Lucas, go with hannah." "Go with hannah." "Yeah." "There you go." "Okay, um..." "I'm going crazy." "I'm not enjoying this." "I know I should be, but I'm not." "I, um..." "I almost sent an e-mail today to your brother." "Violet-- you have to give me something." "I mean, I need to feel like I know you." "I need to feel like you want me to know you." "Please." "I mean, obviously your mom did something" "To land herself in prison, but your brother..." "What is it about your family that makes you so angry?" "I'm gonna tell this story once," "And I'm never gonna tell it again, okay?" "My mother... she liked to have a good time." "She was a party all by herself." "And my brother adam made excuses for her" "Because he thought she was..." "I was the one that cleaned the vomit off the floor." "I was the one that woke her up twice a night" "To make sure she was still breathing." "She was a drunk, and she was..." "Beautiful." "So there were men..." "Lots of men." "And I don't even know..." "Who my father is." "Anyway, finally, there was henry." "I have no idea what he saw in her," "But he was..." "The first man I ever met who didn't ignore me." "I was 13, and he was the first good man I ever knew," "Which, now I think..." "He-- he took us to ball games," "Helped me with my homework, told me I could be a doctor." "And things were steady." "Things were good." "But even though henry was living with us," "Even though he wanted to marry her," "There were a lot of men again, and-- and, uh," "One morning, she came in the kitchen" "She'd been out all night" "And he was there, packing to leave, 'cause I guess he'd had it, and she starts screaming." "I didn't know what was happening." "And-- and then they're in the kitchen, she's screaming," "And then she's hitting him, he's defending himself," "And then she gets a knife," "And then..." "And then he was dead, and..." "He was a good guy." "Then I called the cops on her." "And adam..." "He lied for her." "He testified for her." "That's why she only got manslaughter." "You think there's good in everyone, violet." "That's not true." "There's no good there." "My family is garbage." "And I won't go back." "Okay?" "O- okay." "Hi." "Hi, bud." "Hi." "Are we done?" "'cause I have a shift in the e.R.," "And, uh, I wanna go start work early." "Yeah, we're done." "Okay." "yeah."
