"NARRATOR:" "Previously on Nip/Tuck:" "KIMBER:" "This is really bad." "Ooh." " How come I don't feel guilty?" " We need to stop doing this." "SEAN:" "You're not going back to him, are you?" " He's my husband, Sean." " You deserve better." "CHRISTIAN:" "You'll never make me happy." "I can never love you enough." "We've hit a rough patch." "You don't break up because of it." "He's done with me now." "Good." "He's doing you a favor, Kimber." "It's a gift." "CHRISTIAN:" "Kimber fell off a boat last night." "She's missing." "Oh, my goodness." "These are so good." "Here, I'll go get you some food, okay?" "SEAN:" "Weather report says it should be clear through the weekend." "That'll help." "It's been two days, Sean." "SEAN:" "If the Coast Guard's not giving up then we can't either." "MATT:" "You want some noodles?" "Jesus, what are you doing, Matt?" "Feeding the kid Thai." "It's spicy." "What's your problem?" "Take it easy." "You wanna get pissed at someone, be mad at Hamoui." "If the police didn't charge him with anything, what the hell am I gonna do?" "[CELL PHONE RINGING]" "Hello." "Hi, Brandie." "No, you're at the right place." "Okay, see you in a minute." "It's Kimber's mom." "Have you really never met her?" "Kimber kicked her out of her life a long time ago." " Didn't invite her to the wedding, so..." " What happened?" "[DOORBELL RINGS]" "Unresolved issues is what I heard." "[SIGHS]" "[SIGHS]" "Christian." "You made it." " Hi." " Hi." " Nice to meet you." " Nice to meet you too." "Hey, didn't you, uh, say you were bringing someone with you?" "Les is coming tomorrow." "He's got business, so I'm here." " Come in." " Wow, this is right on the water." " Brandie, I'm Sean." " Hello, Sean." "Hi, I'm a friend of Christian's and your daughter." "Hi." "Hey, I'm Matt." "You're Matt." "Oh." " So this must be Jenna." "MATT:" "Yeah." "Wow, this is a lot to take in son-in-law, a granddaughter, an ex son-in-law." "[BRANDIE SIGHS]" "I wish it could have been under different circumstances." "Well, the important part is we're all here now." "[CELL PHONE RINGING]" " That's right." "SEAN:" "Hey, little one you wanna go back and finish coloring?" "Okay." "I was just thinking on the way here that when Kimi was a little girl, I taught her how to swim in the lake that was near our house and she just loved the water so much you know, she was such a good swimmer." "I just hope that everything is gonna be all right, and she's tough." "Yeah, she is." "That was the Coast Guard." "They're, um, calling off the search." "[SIGHS]" "Jenna, sweetheart, it's time to go." "Go?" "Don't you think it's a little soon to be uprooting her?" "Uprooting her?" "I'm her father." "Yeah, but come on." "Please, act like an adult for once in your life." "You'd take her to your shithole?" "Who's gonna take care of her when you're looking for a job?" "Oh." "My shithole's a sunny studio in a great old deco building and I'm actually working right now." "Yes, it's as a barista at the coffee mill on Hyperion, but it's a job." "And FYI, I'm dating the manager." "Her name's Ramona." "She comes from a huge family and they all absolutely love my daughter." "So when are we gonna meet this Ramona, then?" "[SIGHS]" "Jenna, honey, Ramona is waiting." "She made us some meatball soup." "You wanna go?" "Give me a big, big, big hug." "Oh." "And a kiss." "I love you." "JENNA:" "I love you too." "You be a good girl, okay?" "I will." " Okay." "Take care." " I will see you soon." "I will see you soon." "Oh." "Let's go." "[DOOR OPENS]" "[DOOR CLOSES]" "[SNIFFS]" "[CRYING]" " Brandie?" " Sorry." " I'm so..." " No, no, no, stop." "I was just checking if you were okay." "I'm okay." "I just..." "I just wish that somehow we could have worked out our differences." "She was always so mad at me." "I mean, we were more like sisters in a way, because I had her when I was so young." "I just didn't..." "I didn't have a clue." "And I tried to reach out to her but she didn't want me to be a part of her big fancy life." "You know, you can't let the guilt take over." "I know it's hard but..." "[CHRISTIAN SIGHS]" "This isn't about us." "It's about Kimber." "We need to celebrate her and her life." "Yeah." "You're right." "Uh, tell me what you don't like about yourself, Mrs..." "Carlton." "Sheila Carlton." "Of course, I call her Shu-Shu." "I've been calling her Shu-Shu since we met in middle school or was it in high school?" "I don't even remember." "Seems like the years have flown by and I keep calling her Shu-Shu." "Well, it says here that the injuries to your face were caused by..." "Me." "It was because of me, that's why she's here." "Because I almost killed her." "It wasn't your fault, Jane." "Stop blaming yourself." "It was Wayne." "He's the one who did this to me." "He's an animal." " I'm sorry." "Wayne is your husband?" " Her monkey." "Chimpanzee." "He weighed over 200 pounds." "He had a big appetite." "Well, I'm gonna have to do a complete workup and talk to the surgeons who treated you after the attack." "But I would recommend that you do the reconstructive surgeries in stages." "Your body's already been through enough trauma." "And it's my fault." "Can you imagine being the one to cause your oldest friend such agony?" "Reminds me of that awful tragedy with Travis in Connecticut a few years back." " Jane, please." " I shouldn't have let him out of his cage." "He seemed unsettled that morning and I should have just..." "You saved my life, Jane." "Now stop it." "How did you?" "[CHIMPANZEE GIBBERING]" "JANE:" "I hit him with a frying pan." "[YELLS]" "And when he wouldn't release her, I stabbed him repeatedly  with a kitchen knife." "[CHIMPANZEE SQUEALING]" "I don't know how you can ever forgive me." "Why don't I have a nurse escort you to the exam room?" "You can change and we can do a thorough exam." "I want you to make her as beautiful as she was." "I don't care what it costs." " It's never going..." " He owes you this." "Wayne did some work in movies, uh, television shows." "He had such star appeal." "He was such a little performer." "I never spent a dime of his money." "I was saving it for his old age." "But I'm spending it now, every cent." "And everything I have as well, if I have to." "[DOORBELL RINGS]" "Where is she?" " Um, she's..." "BRANDIE:" "Les." "Come here, baby." "It's okay." "I'm here now." "BRANDIE:" "I can't believe it's true." " When did you hear for sure?" " Last night." "That why you didn't pick me up at the airport?" "Because that's what we originally planned." "[CLEARS THROAT]" "Les, I'm, uh, Christian Troy, Kimber's husband." " The plastic surgeon?" "Mm." " Yes." " My deepest condolences." " Thank you." "Please, uh, forgive me." "Was that your Maserati out there?" " Yeah." " Wow." "For somebody so concerned about appearances, to drive a foreign car..." "Pfft." " Excuse me?" " American economy needs our support." "I own the largest domestic dealership in Wisconsin." "Great deals." "You'd be surprised what your money can buy." "We ship anywhere." " You trying to sell me a car?" "LES:" "Ha-ha-ha." "I don't sell cars." "I make people happy." " Ready to get back to the hotel?" " Christian invited us to stay here." "Talking about the memorial service..." "I already booked the room for a week, remember?" "On points?" " Gotta try that Jacuzzi, huh?" " Yeah." "You don't wanna see her before she puts her face on in the morning." "Ha, ha." "There a bathroom around here?" "I had a couple of beers and my bladder's..." "Just back there." "Charming." "So how long you guys been together?" "Six years." "We break up, we get back together, we break up again." "He can be a lot to handle but I love him." "We have a connection." "Well, Kimber and I, we sure had our fair share of ups and down, you know?" "I understand exactly what you're talking about." "I guess it runs in the family, then." "[DOOR OPENS]" "That is such great soap you got in there." "I love it." "You ready?" " Okay, bye." " We'll call you, okay?" "And don't forget to tell me where you got that soap." "Love it." "[DOOR CLOSES]" "[SIGHS]" "CURTIS:" "I am so sorry to hear that." "Yeah, they were married about a year ago." "CURTIS:" "Oh." "Christian's taking it pretty hard." "Well, please, give him my condolences." "I just can't imagine what it would be like to lose Sarah." "And suicide, jeez." "That's difficult." "I guess you just..." "You can't know what's going on in someone's head even if you're married to them, right?" " Yeah." "I think in a way we all feel responsible." "How can you not?" "You know probably not the best time for you to be joining me in Africa, right?" "Probably not, Curtis." "I'm sorry." "No, I understand." "Life gets in the way sometimes." "We all have responsibilities." " And you can't leave Christian right now." " No." "You get back from this trip in what, three weeks?" " Mm-hm." " Tell me about the next trip after that." "We'll be building a new hospital in Basra this spring." " I'm in." " I've heard that before." "No, no, no, it's firm this time." "I am in." "I'll get the ball rolling while you're in Africa." "I won't let this be another Harvard." "Cheers." " I'll hold you to this one, buddy." " Yeah." "Your blood pressure's on the high side." "Are you under a lot of stress lately?" "You could say that." "You need to control it." "Iraq isn't really relaxing." "It's beautiful, yes but work there is really intense." "I think it's gonna be really good for me, actually." "It's exactly the kind of change I need in my life right now." "MALLORY:" "You couldn't have picked a better organization to help change your life." "The Savior Center is a great place." "Curtis often says it saves us who work here at least as much as it saves our patients." "So nice to meet you, Dr. McNamara." "I've heard so many good things." "Thank you, Mallory." "Dr. Kwinda." "I'm sorry to say I haven't heard as much about you." "That's just as well." "We keep very busy around here eyes on the prize, so to speak." " Mm." "Are you gonna be helping build the hospital in Basra?" "I'm afraid not." "I'll be here in San Diego with Nsolo spending most of my time fundraising, unfortunately." "Breathe deep, please." "Heart rate's a little elevated." "But we'll chalk that up to the excitement of a new job." "We're all excited about it, frankly." "You'll be our first reconstructive surgeon on staff, Dr. McNamara." "Often our patients with deformities are ostracized from their villages and their communities." "Your work will give them a chance at normalcy again." " Would you like your prostate examined?" " Excuse me?" "You're 45." "You need to check it every year." "Better safe than sorry." "Oh, no, no, it's all right." "We should at least be on a first-name basis before..." "I know yours, Sean." "I'm surprised my husband didn't at least tell you mine." "Oh, you're married to Nsolo." "No." "Curtis is my husband." "I'm Sarah." "Oh." "Am I disturbing you?" "Not at all." "What are you doing in this neck of the woods?" "Well, Les took me shopping at Neiman Marcus." "Bought a dress for the memorial." "And I was wondering if you would take a look at it to see if you think Kimber would approve." "Wow." "That Les, he's got an eye, doesn't he?" "Managed to pick the one dress in the world that would make you look like a whore." "Oh." "That's not very nice." "I'm sorry, but the guy's a tool, and I don't like the way he talks to you." "Well, he takes care of me, you know, Christian?" "I thought women liked a little class." "Kimber did." "Well, I'm not Kimber." "Kimber was a star even before she became one." "I'm just a Midwestern nobody." "What am I gonna do?" "I really wanted to make my baby girl proud." "I have an idea." "I have this laser machine that tightens the skin through soft cell coagulation and there's absolutely no healing time." "It's like a hi-tech facial." "I'd like to talk to Les first." "Oh." "No, no, trust me, it's exactly what Kimi would want you to do." " Really?" " Yes." "[BRANDIE SIGHS]" "Is this gonna hurt?" "I told you, it's like getting a facial." "I've never had a facial." "Never could afford one." "Sad, right?" "So Les always tells me that my skin is dry." "Is this gonna help with that?" " It should." "Ha-ha-ha." " Yeah?" "Yeah." "Okay, take a look over here for me." "[WHIRS]" "Oh." "I'm sorry, just a sec." "I, uh..." "I got..." "[CHRISTIAN SIGHS]" "I'm sorry I was never good enough for you either." "Something wrong?" "Yeah." "It's me." "You don't need this, Brandie." "Ha." "You look beautiful just the way you are." "Hmm." "Wow, Les doesn't say that to me anymore." "I haven't heard that in a long time." "I missed it." "Thank you." "SEAN:" "How do you get through that not suffer post-traumatic stress the rest of your life?" "What about her friend, knowing that she was responsible for this?" "It's not like she trained it to be an attack monkey." "It's what she's doing that counts." "Helping her friend deal with it, seeing her through these surgeries." "Maybe, but she's still gonna have to find a way to live with the guilt." "LIZ:" "I don't envy her." "That's great." "Yes." "Oh." "Here he is." "It's Curtis." "Yes, of course I will." "You too, darling." "I'll talk to you tomorrow." "Curtis sends his regards." " What are you doing here, Dr. Kwinda?" " I gave a talk at USC Med and I thought that rather than face the traffic back to San Diego I'd see if you were free for dinner." "Oh." "Uh..." "Sure." "I guess I'm available." "Yeah." "Great." "I'd love to hear your ideas on facial reconstruction for patients with neurofibromatosis." "[WOMAN MOANING ON TV]" "LES:" "Hey." " Hey." " How did you get in my house?" " Cleaning lady." "Just came to grab Brandie's makeup bag." "She left it in your bathroom the other day." "Is that what you're watching?" "Okay, confession time." "Uh..." "Look, I only found out about Kimber's career from Brandie recently and being somewhat of an aficionado, I couldn't help myself." "So you went snooping through my shit." "I know I could have gone on the Internet, but the hotel doesn't have Wi-Fi." "You wanna know something weird?" "Brandie and Kimber both make that same face when they're taking it from behind." "You're talking about..." "You're talking about my wife." "I meant no disrespect." "She gave me a chubby." "The ultimate respect." "Lucky I don't throw you off the balcony." "Wait, wait, I'm sorry." "You gotta admit, it's the one thing these Henry girls are good at." "Figured it'd be a way for us to bond." "Please get out of my house." "SEAN:" "Ah." "Got it." "You are being too overprotective." "Now, friends don't let other friends' wives drive drunk." "I'm not drunk." "I'm just relaxed." " Bathroom?" " Ah." "Right back here." " This?" " Yes, right in there, right here." "SARAH:" "Ooh." "Just twisting a little starboard there, matey." "SARAH:" "Believe me, this isn't drunk." "That night in Thailand when I had my fifth scorpion whiskey or sixth, now that was drunk." "Now, the sheets on the bed are actually fresh as of this morning so you're in luck." " And where do you sleep?" " On the couch." "Here, let me." "I had an easier time bivouacking on the side of Mount Kilimanjaro." "Uh..." "Towels are in this chest." "Aspirin's in the bathroom." "The water in the kitchen is filtered." " I don't..." " Ah, ah, ah." "Stop." "I'm gonna go to bed before you tell me about the time you boiled parasitic water from the Ganges." " Good night, Sarah." " Good night, Sean." "SARAH:" "Sleep tight." "[SEAN SIGHS]" "SEAN:" "What the hell?" "Hey." "Feel me, Sean." "[BOTH SIGH]" "That's right." "That's what you do to me." "Don't." "Please, just don't." "I know you want me." "[SIGHS]" "The way you looked at me." "And now I have tangible proof in my hand." "I can't, Sarah." "I mean it." "I can't." "What about Curtis?" "I love Curtis." "But these long separations in our marriage have forced me to be more polyamorous." "You have an arrangement, an open marriage?" "No, I mean I have no idea what Curtis does when he is away." "I can only assume that since our sexual encounters are at best sporadic he finds some other way of satisfying his needs." "Don't ask, don't tell." "He won't ask and I'll never tell." " Whew." "Wow." "Sarah you are a beautiful woman and I am attracted to you but I can't do this to Curtis." "Wow." "I never expected you to be such a Boy Scout." "I'm..." "I'm not." "Just that I've been there, done that before." "Slept with my best friend's wife and believe me no amount of pleasure can make up for the guilt." "[SIGHS]" "[SARAH SIGHS]" "[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]" "She's gonna be fine, you know." "I managed to reconstruct the floor of the orbit, and the orbital rim and rebuilt her ear and the nasal cavity." "There's gonna be some swelling, but we can deal with that later." "I keep seeing it over and over." "Give me something to help me sleep, please." "I can if you want but you might wanna talk to someone." "Your friend has forgiven you." " It might be time to forgive yourself." " How can I?" "Every time I try to sleep, I see  the knife plunging into his back  and the eyes staring at me pleading with me." ""Why, Mummy, why are you hurting me?"" "Did you know that 98 percent of their DNA is the same as ours?" "They can give us blood transfusions and vice versa." "He would comb my hair ever so gently." "And he'd make these little play statues while he sat in front of the TV." "So expressive." "I could see God in those statues." "I couldn't have loved him more if he'd been my own." "Sheila never approved." "He could sense that." "Maybe she was afraid." "In light of what happened, her instincts proved to be correct." "She didn't respect him." "She should've known that showing up in that new garish makeup would disorient him." "And teasing him with that toy?" " You don't torment an innocent animal." " Innocent?" "He practically ripped her face off." "He couldn't help it." "He didn't know what he was doing." "She was the one who was the grown-up, should have acted like one." "But it was my fault." "And I told him that." "After they shot him and he just lay there in all that blood I told him I was sorry." "He was still my good boy." "I would love him forever." "[CRYING]" "Someday, maybe she'll forgive me." "I don't know and frankly, who cares?" "I'll never be able to forgive myself." "[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]" "Hey, I was looking for you." "Is everything okay?" "Yeah, yeah." "I, um..." "I was thinking how good Kimber looked in this one black dress she has." "So beautiful, you know?" "Big tits, teeny little waist." "I'm such an asshole." "She really did love you." "Yeah, that was probably her biggest mistake." "Listen there's something that, uh I need to tell you." " Shoot." "I need to take some time off." "I mean, maybe we both do." "We should shut down the business for a while and take a vacation." "Where would we go?" "Well, I think we should go our separate ways for a little while." "You and I have been together for 20 years practically nonstop." "You're gonna work with Curtis." "Yeah." "Yeah, I am." "I'm gonna help the Savior Center build a hospital." "That's what I wanna do." "I don't wanna let another opportunity like this pass me by." "Then go." "But you go for a month you go forever." "Ahem." "Come on." "Ha, ha." "Does it fit?" "WOMAN:" "Ha, ha." "Well, you flatter me with a size 2, Christian." "Yeah, it fits." "Oh, yeah, it's perfect." "Did you buy this on Rodeo?" "[BOTH CHUCKLE]" "Here." " Try this." " Wow." "It's beautiful." " Wanna try it out?" " Yeah." "Of course." "Ha, ha." " May I?" " Yes." " What do you think?" " I think you look just as amazing as she did." "Did I do something wrong?" "I don't know." "I'm sorry." "I just..." " Um..." " We can go shopping for a new dress." "I don't know what I was thinking." "Just..." "No, no, no, it's good, it's good." "It's all good." "You've been so good to me, really, really." "I can't thank you enough." "It's just a little strange, but it's good." "[BOTH CHUCKLE]" "Just having you here has been a great comfort for me so..." "She loved you very much." "Yeah, maybe so, but something of which I'm not entirely worthy." "No, don't say that." "That's not true." "My mother?" "[SCOFFS]" "My mother?" "She is a lovely woman." "She's lonely." "She lost her daughter." "Come on, Christian." "What kind of woman sleeps with her daughter's husband?" "And really, that's even a new low for you." "We were giving each other comfort in a time of need." "It's human, it's normal." "Well, it's a good thing I'm dead, so this isn't the final knife in my heart." "Everything's a knife in your heart." "So, what are you gonna do now, Christian?" "Are you gonna take care of her?" "Give me a break." "You don't care about my mother." "You're just using her like you do everybody." "I am who I am, all right?" "You don't have a say in it." " You killed yourself." " You destroyed me." "[SIGHS]" "What is it?" "I really miss her." "I know." "I know." "I know." "[PHONE RINGING]" "Dr. McNamara." " Nsolo, how are you?" " Good." " What are you doing here?" " We don't leave for a few weeks." "But since it's a Saturday I thought I'd come down and volunteer for the day." "We can always use an extra hand." "We're helping the WHO with an airdrop into Kenya to help the people who suffered from flooding." "We have over 1100 units still to pack." "Show me where." "Curtis?" "I'll catch up with you." "I didn't think you'd be back yet." "Uh, something more pressing came up here." "Can I help?" "I've already told Christian." "So I'm officially yours in a couple weeks." "You know, you and Christian you guys are a lot more alike than I ever thought." "I mean, you come in here all eager like a puppy and then you piss all over the carpet." " Curtis, what's going on?" "I don't..." " Sarah told me, you asshole." "And when I got the call, I was holding a 3-month-old little girl severely malnourished." "Chances of survival, practically nil." "Her mother died of AIDS 20 minutes earlier than that." "One less doctor there means many less lives saved but I came home to save my marriage." "Curtis, I don't know what she said, but nothing..." "[WHISPERING] I mean, nothing happened." "Don't believe you." "[IN NORMAL VOICE] I mean, we went to dinner." "She got really drunk and..." " We both were..." " Oh, Jesus." "...but we both went right to sleep." "Nothing..." "Nothing happened." "Nothing." "I wouldn't do that to you." "I wouldn't do that to us." "Why would my wife lie about screwing an old friend from college?" "I have no idea but you gotta believe me." "No, I don't." "And as executive director you won't work at the Savior Center or any of its affiliate missions, so just get out of here." "Okay?" "Go back to Christian." "You two..." "You two are obviously meant to be together." "Curtis, you gotta let me..." "Okay." "Here we go." "Dr. McNamara is gonna be in today and then we can schedule your follow-ups." "Okay?" "SHEILA:" "May I?" "Oh, absolutely, you may." "You know that Jane has paid all your bills, you know that." "Oh." "You know, a lot of the swelling has not gone down and when it does, we will then know how to proceed." "[SIGHS]" "It was never going to be what it was." "They told me that." "But still, you hope." "I suppose I should take some comfort in becoming a poster child." "If anyone had any doubts about the State passing that ordinance requiring owners to cage their exotic pets, they only have to look at me." "Knock, knock." "Oh, my, look at you." "You look beautiful." "Well, you will look beautiful." "Of course you're still swollen and bruised, but that's not surprising." "I just knew they were the best." "I knew we picked the right doctors to come to." "You know, I was just telling her that she's gonna have to take it easy when you leave here tomorrow." "I'll make sure of that." "I've got the guestroom all made up." " It'll be like staying in a five-star resort." " Ha-ha-ha." "And I've got a surprise." "Oh, dear, that's not very relaxing, is it?" "Something to cheer you up." " Make sure all the..." "JANE:" "There, that's much better." "Wait till you meet Gunther." "He's hilarious." "Your favorite." "JANE:" "A little comedian in fur." "Gunther?" "Jesus, Jane, you didn't..." "He's just a baby, Shu-Shu." "He's nothing like Wayne." "He's just the most adorable thing you ever saw." "He's already using a fork and knife." " You got another monkey?" " Chimp." "Look at me." "Look at me!" "Look at what that animal did to me." " Look at what you did to me." " Shu-Shu." "You get rid of that ape, Jane." "Stop showering all your affection on these animals." "That's why you can't find love." "There's no room for anything human." "If you value our friendship, the 30 years we've known each other you have to choose:" "The monkey or me." "That monkey loved me unconditionally." "He never judged me and he forgave me even when I took his life to save yours." "You think your heart will ever be that big?" "SEAN:" "Hey." " Hey." " Do you mind if I have one of those?" " Sure." "[SIGHS]" "Where's Brandie?" "Wisconsin." "It's for the best." "She reminded me too much of Kimber." "Aren't you supposed to be getting dysentery shots or something?" "I'm not going to Africa." " Where's St. Curtis taking you?" " Nowhere." "Turns out he's kind of an asshole." "Well, you never were too good at picking partners." "Hm." "He accused me of sleeping with his wife." " Did you?" " No." "That's good." "Sleeping with your friend's wife is very tough on the relationship." "I'm staying." "That's good." "I'm thinking about selling this place." "Getting a place up in the hills, you know?" " A view of the city lights or..." " You can't beat this view." "Yeah." "I used to love it but now it's just like looking at a graveyard." "It'll pass." "It's good to have you back." "[ENGLISH SDH]"
