Gray (2023) s01e03 Episode Script
Abbott
Will you at least share the
information you received?
One of the people in
contact with the mole
is Vladimir Orlov.
Orlov was ruthless
when it came to gaining
US intelligence for the Russians.
That's Andrei Levitsky.
He must've told Gray about Orlov.
Maybe I will never be ready,
maybe I'll be ready
tomorrow. But no matter what,
I don't want my daughter to
get hurt the way that I was.
Tessa had a lot of secrets.
Your father told me.
I found this in one of her shoes.
- Is that Russian?
- Code.
My step mother had coded communication.
(TRAIN HORN BLARING)
I wasn't the only one watching
you two at the storage unit.
You want to use the
IEP on Cornelia Gray?
You want to kill her.
You're not the mole, though.
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
(TENSE MUSIC)
(GRAY): Hey.
(SIRENS WAILING)
(BLIPPING)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
I need your help.
You're the only person
around here I trust.
If I give you a list
of my former contacts,
can you track them down?
Mm-hmm.
I also need a peek at
Abbott's financial records.
- Okay. Anything specific?
- All of them. Past 20 years.
- I'm on the computer in the conference room.
- But
(KEYBOARD CLACKING)
Come to my office.
(INDISTINCT WHISPERING)
(TENSE MUSIC)
(CHIMING)
You know, we never really got
to know each other back when.
I hope that changes.
Your attack dog needs to be leashed.
Keep Gray out of my operations.
You know, I'm really confused, Wendell.
Why don't you talk to Chase?
He's invited her for a
personal meeting tomorrow.
He gave her autonomy.
I'm not running Gray.
You run Sara. You run Rousseau.
Gray's in your guest house.
It's on you.
God, I hate him.
I'm looking for Emmerson Miller?
Emmerson? Cornelia Gray.
I don't know if you remember me
(CHUCKLES)
Just a little help. Um
I need information on
an associate of ours,
I think you knew him
about as well as anybody.
Wendell Abbott.
(SIRENS WAILING)
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
(MYSTERIOUS MUSIC)
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
Do they make Andy travel?
Uh, it depends. If
it's somewhere nice
Greece, Antigua, a
senior attorney takes it.
But if a witness needs to be deposed
in the Everglades, that's Andy.
Thought about children?
- Was that too personal?
- No it's just
Well, Andy has two
brothers and a sister.
His parents had four. He wants four.
And he wants them now. But
if four human beings
are coming out of me,
then they are going have to wait.
Don't wait too long.
Ooh.
You just move the paper
in a circular motion
and let the scissors do the work.
- Do you want to try it?
- No way. I'd so cut a finger off.
The first thing my grandmother
had me make was a cat.
A blob with a tail.
I was very disappointed.
And when I asked her if I
could give her eyes, she said,
"She has eyes,
sweetheart, they're closed.
She's sleeping."
And what happens if you make a mistake?
Do you start again? Or
do you try and fix it?
What do you mean?
Well, you barely look at
the paper half the time.
What happens if you slip?
I don't slip.
(CHUCKLES)
Uh, so I sent you a list of
those names you asked about.
A few are dead. Henderson, last year,
and Zeller's been gone fifteen.
Any luck with the code?
Not yet.
You know, I realize, by asking you
to help me, I've put your
life in terrible danger.
I'm being followed. Are you?
Have you had your apartment swept?
For what, devices? No.
Well, when we moved in,
someone came from Cerberus.
Who?
Tagg sent someone.
I don't mean to make you paranoid
Well, shouldn't you
actually be out looking?
I don't look.
I poke, I prod.
I stay perfectly still.
The mole comes to me.
Like a spider in the center of the web.
That doesn't make sense. Surely all
they have to do then is stay hidden.
If they had patience,
yes. But they don't.
Each head of Cerberus is
aggressive in his or her way.
Their only choice is to kill me.
So your plan is to wait and be killed?
Being killed isn't part of the plan.
(SIZZLING)
(GASPS) Oh!
(SIGHING)
Chinese?
(TENSE MUSIC)
Oh! Wait, wait, wait!
I told you we'd forget!
See you later.

What?
What?
Oh, my God.
- Hey.
- Hey.
What do you have in mind?
(CHUCKLING)
You did the whole baby thing
once, what do you think?
David insists on glass bottles.
Hospitals use plastic.
Use it once, throw it
away. No germs. Am I right?
Who knows better than the hospital?
David makes you wash them, doesn't he?
There are millions of them!
Lydia never stops, I
don't know where she
(CHUCKLING) Cornelia?
Sorry. Oh, God.
I came out to ask how your meeting went.
My meeting with Chase is tomorrow.
Tell me the truth.
Am I going to have sex with him?
I want to know what kind
of underwear to wear.
(SCOFFING)
No. (CHUCKLING) No, no, you
missed all that. (CLEARS THROAT)
Two, three years ago,
there were a slew of accusations.
Staff, interns, an ATF agent
The powers that be,
they put Chase straight.
What? Wait. Who did?
Well, whoever Chase answers to.
Who has he ever answered to? (LAUGHING)
I don't know.
But he had a "come to Jesus" moment,
so, trust me on this, he's not gonna
step out of line with you.
And what happened to the accusations?
They went away.
Well, I'm still gonna
wear nice underwear.
Okay, I confess.
I did not come down to talk about
glass bottles or Chase Cornet.
I saw how upset you were on the phone.
Talk to me.
Did you get bad news?
Levitsky's dead.
(SINISTER MUSIC)
(CHOKING)
Well, what does that
do to what you're doing?
(SIGHING)
- (GLASS SHATTERING)
- (DAVID): Fuck! Kevin!
Oh, Jesus. David!
I'm taking care of it!
(GRAY): I forgot how
beautiful your house is, Chase.
(CHUCKLING)
(CHASE): Just before
you got here, I received
some intelligence about
our friend, Levitsky.
Oh.
I don't know why it hit me so hard.
I'd been under the assumption
he'd been dead all these years.
Cerberus only found out he was alive
when they learned it from me.
A week later, he's murdered?
That confirms that the mole is
one of the heads of Cerberus.
I need your help with two things.
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
Sewn into my clothes.
Did you do the sewing?
Those are expensive.
Planted in my car.
Oh, this one, I dug out
of the sole of my shoe.
(CHUCKLING)
- If I'm gonna find your mole
- Mm-hmm.
I can't be followed and tracked.
What else?
Abbott.
Hmm.
Let's get a drink.
You'll never hear a bad
word from me about Abbott.
We always stayed out
of each other's way.
He was my top op before I
installed him in Cerberus.
As valuable to me as
you were to Beckham.
Though there were always red flags.
How red?
Well, he altered his grades in school.
Anomalies on his lie detector.
Deviations in his
personality assessment.
- Nobody's perfect.
- No.
His father owned a
restaurant in Sag Harbor.
The government thought
he was laundering money
so they harassed him until
he blew his brains out
in his empty dining room.
Hmm.
Wendell scrubbed the
walls and the ceiling
by himself to get the
place ready to sell it,
to pay back the tax debt.
Someone like that might hold a
grudge against the government.
I took a chance.
Mmm.
And I got myself an agent
with no entanglements,
- no family, no friends
- No life?
Like you.
(SOFT MUSIC)
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
Have you heard of the
Celia H. Foundation?
It's all over Abbott's financials.
No.
He fancies a garrote sometimes.
Do you think he killed Levitsky?
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
- (PHONE RINGING TONE)
- Sara?
I need you to track
down one more person.
I just saw his picture on Chase's wall.
His name is Jacob Aimes.
A-I-M-E-S.
Okay, on it. (CLEARS THROAT)
(BREATHING DEEPLY)
She wants information on someone.
She's using you. Well, that's great.
Am I her "handler" now?
Sara, you're not her
handler. You're her friend.
She trusts you.
Your job is to do anything she asks,
and swear to her
you won't tell a soul. Hmm?
And then come tell me right away.
You want me to be a snitch?
You're not a snitch!
You're a spy. Look
If you worked for the IRS
and you seized somebody's life savings,
would you be a thief? No.
You'd be a civil servant.
And we all know there's
nothing more honorable
than a civil servant,
now is there, Sara? Hmm?
Who did she ask for?
Uh, Jacob Aimes.
(TENSE MUSIC)
Jacob Aimes
Oh now, there's a can of worms.
(GRAY): Beautiful house.
I have nothing to hide,
but nothing to give you.
No time, less patience?
Why did you call Emmerson Miller?
I didn't. Did someone
call him posing as me?
If you think Emmerson knows
anything about me, he doesn't.
And if he did, he wouldn't say
anything. It's why I didn't call.
No one ever says anything
about you, do they?
Let's not play games.
You and I used to get along by
staying out of each other's way.
Let's go back to that relationship.
That's not really a relationship, is it?
It's the opposite.
You know, I support what you're doing,
and whomever you may take down.
If it's Tagg, fine.
Gold, better.
- Hmm.
- Both? Kudos.
Yeah, but your assets
have been the hardest hit.
Do you feel the person
leaking the information
- is targeting your operation?
- No.
- Targeting you personally?
- No.
I mean, do you ever discuss your
operations outside of Cerberus?
I don't discuss my
operations inside Cerberus.
Any friends? Spouse?
- No.
- Psychiatrist? Priest?
Lover?
Prostitute?
(CHUCKLES) No.
Why does Chase think you're the mole?
He doesn't.
- Practically said so.
- No, he didn't.
- He did.
- You misheard.
Do you think he's that loyal to you?
- I think he's that afraid.
- Afraid? Chase?
He's your mentor. He
gave you your start.
I gave myself my own start.
Hmm.
Who killed Winston Beckham?
The same person who
killed Andrei Levitsky.
Hmm.
We done?
Thank you.
(SIGHING) Oh, do you play the piano?
No.
(PROPELLORS WHIRRING)
(VEHICLES HONKING)
(SNIFFS)
Gray left early this morning.
Did she come see you?
Uh, yeah, she's still focused on Abbott.
And she's seeing Ben today. Her son.
And, uh ?
And, uh
She showed me how to do Scherenschnitte.
Did you get her to talk about Levitsky?
Never came up.
About meeting Chase Cornet?
No, sir.
Are you going with her to see her son?
No. I mean, why would I?
That's private between her and Ben.
There has never been a distinction
between Cornelia's
personal life and her work.
Why is that so difficult to understand?
(DRAWER CLOSING)
Okay.
Since she's off to see her son,
I have something else for you.
Take Rousseau.
We had a look at your work on Gray.
You looked at it?
I had someone look at it, yes.
What, you had another
analyst look at my data?
You're a field agent
now, you don't have time,
I had Connors look through it.
Do you Do you not like Connors?
No, I like Connors.
Well, there's an issue.
With my data?
With money.
The money doesn't add up.
Gray's motives don't add up either.
What did she do with all that cash?
In the interrogation,
Gray admitted that she hid
a stash of cash before
she went underground.
She used the cash to
purchase the house in Marlboro
and the tea room, before she eventually
- settled as Janet Lester.
- Okay
Okay, and matching her declared earnings
against her expenses, she should have
four to six thousand dollars left.
So?
So she didn't use banks,
she had no time to stash
the cash before the raid,
and nothing was found in your search.
So where's the money?
Why don't you just ask
her? Aren't you two besties?
You know, I will admit it. She
has a way of making you feel like
the most important person in
the world, like she's helpless
and you're the only one that can
help, do you know what I mean?
She's got you figured out.
It's my job to make her think that.
Anyway, Connors generated a
list of seven storage facilities
within a 50-mile radius
of Janet Lester's house
in Marlboro that accept cash on rentals.
Now, I doubt the
analysis of the numbers.
I don't think there's any
money left. But here we are.
I saw those men again.
What men?
Men watching you and Gray that night.
Not Gold's men, the other ones.
Who are they?
I don't know, but if I were you,
I'd watch my back.
(JAZZY MUSIC)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Mom?
(TENSE MUSIC)
- Hi! Hello.
- Oh, hi.
Excuse me, um, this is going
to sound maybe a bit weird,
but my aunt, she was in a
car accident over in Florida,
and well, she left her old
address book in a storage locker.
But the thing is, well,
her memory isn't quite right
so she can't actually
remember the name of the place
or, um
This is her photo.
Does she look familiar?
- I never forget a pretty face.
- Mm-hmm.
It's Virginia Kerr.
Thank you.
I'm sure you have a lot of questions.
What are you studying?
I still haven't picked a major.
Well, what do you like?
You'll figure it out.
Dad says that.
I bet you don't remember
when we used to come here.
You were too too little.
You used to take me for
allergy shots across the
street every Saturday.
And we had that cat with
the wonky eye, Loops.
We'd come here after.
Just you and me.
We sat here.
Definitely, right here, more than once.
And that table a few times.
I don't really remember
when we stopped getting
the shots exactly
We gave Loops to your
father's cousin, Ann.
And she claimed the cat
destroyed her drapes.
It hurt too much
having them stick you week after week.
Didn't hurt.
It hurt me.
What a memory you have.
You know what else I remember?
That time that I was sick.
You know, in the hospital?
And that next day, that you went away.
I told them.
I told Dad.
I told those government
guys, I told everyone.
I'm sorry.
Then two, three times
a year, someone from
some agency would pull me out of class
or stop me in the mall
or come to the house
And they all asked me the same thing.
(BEN SIGHS)
How would I know?
Maybe she slipped out for an hour?
Killed Beckham then.
I always told them the same thing.
I knew you were there all night
because I never let go of your hand.
I didn't care if they believed me.
I never let go.
Tell me I told them the truth.
(SNIFFLING) I never let go, Ben.
(SOFT MUSIC)
I never let go.
Thank you.
You know what? I think she
might've been working out of here.
Hey, Connors was way off.
It's gone now.
But from these wrappers,
I'd guess there was several
million dollars here.
(PROPELLORS WHIRRING)
(TENSE MUSIC)
(SIGHING)
(GRAY): Tessa had a lot of secrets.
(DIGITAL BEEPING)
(SIGHING)
Come on
Hmm.
Just move the paper in a circle.
Circular combination cipher. Holy shit.
The Cyrillic is double encoded.
(TENSE MUSIC)
No.
(PHONE RINGING)
Hey.
Jacob Aimes?
I still haven't found anything.
Could be another country,
under a different name.
Or dead like most of
the others. Keep trying.
Oh, also, I need the address
of the Celia H. Foundation.
Hmm
Okay, check your messages.
The foundation's not far from
your old place in Marlboro.
Talk to you soon.
(SOFT MUSIC)
(CHURCH BELL RINGING)
(BRAKES SQUEALING)
- Ma'am.
- Thank you.
(GEESE SQUAWKING)
(SOFT MUSIC)
Hi. You must be Celia.
It's so nice to meet you.
(TENSE MUSIC)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
(KNOCKING)
Oh, my God!
We thought we'd never see you again!
I was starting to think so, too.
You look great.
Thanks. I'm back in the
city, back at my old job.
What happened? Jesus,
that was frightening!
I mean, it was like a bad dream!
Uh Look, we just had
dinner. Do you want some coffee?
No, no, no, I can't stay.
I wasn't that far
away, and I thought I'd
swing by and say hi to
my favorite neighbors.
I'm so sorry about everything.
It's not your fault.
Apparently, the woman
they're looking for,
Cornelia something, uh
she'd stolen my identity.
I had no idea.
Oh my God, that happens.
That happens to people.
Hello, Elizabeth.
Did you come to take Mittens back?
(CHUCKLING) No, no, no.
I-I came to see if she
could stay here with you.
If it's okay with your parents?
She's so wonderful.
Yeah, they are. (CHUCKLING)
- Well
- Thank you.
God, Janet, I'm just
glad it all worked out.
Thanks for dropping by.
Made Elizabeth happy.
(BIRDS CALLING)
(INDISTINCT BACKGROUND CHATTER)
You look nice.
How did you know I'd be here?
The trackers Tagg hid in your car.
Oh, I thought I'd found them all.
So you know where I've been.
Yes.
Hmm.
(TENSE MUSIC)
I know what it's like.
My mother died of Alzheimer's.
Your mother is so dear.
Deep down inside, she's still there.
She loves her son so much.
Loves her little boy.
I'm so sorry
for what you've been through, Wendell.
You crossed a line.
How quickly could I end your life?
In the blink of an eye.
You don't think you could stop me?
No.
It wouldn't matter,
you're much stronger.
So then you know.
You're alive because I
allow you to be alive.
- I know.
- I allow you
to be alive.
- We're so much alike.
- I didn't invade your family.
I wanted to know you.
- You wanted an advantage.
- No.
We've both been hurt
by the life we chose.
The one that chose us.
We could make each other
feel so much better.
We don't have to be alone.
We don't.
Are you afraid to look at me?
Are you afraid to see yourself?
Hmm?
You don't have to look at me
to know I'm here.
I'm here.
I'm right here.
I'm right here.
Have you
ever heard
of Jack Unterweger?
Playwright.
Television host.
1970s.
I've never heard of Jack Unterweger.
He loved women.
At least 12.
Women (SIGHING)
He made love to women.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
And he killed women.
(GRUNTING)
He killed them with their own bras.
(PANTING)
The underwires broke their hyoid bones.
Less pressure compresses the carotid,
you'll have the orgasm of your lifetime.
More pressure, and the underwire
(CHUCKLING)
I'm having the best day
of my life.
(PANTING)
You want to know
You want to know the difference
between us, Wendell?
(GASPING)
You brought a weapon, I wore one.

(CHUCKLING)
(CHASE): Just before
you got here, I received
some intelligence about
our friend, Levitsky.
Oh.
I don't know why it hit me so hard.
I'd been under the assumption
he'd been dead all these years.
Cerberus only found out he was alive
when they learned it from me.
A week later, he's murdered?
That confirms that the mole is
one of the heads of Cerberus.
I need your help with two things.
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
Sewn into my clothes.
Did you do the sewing?
Those are expensive.
Planted in my car.
Oh, this one, I dug out
of the sole of my shoe.
(CHUCKLING)
- If I'm gonna find your mole
- Mm-hmm.
I can't be followed and tracked.
What else?
Abbott.
Hmm.
Let's get a drink.
You'll never hear a bad
word from me about Abbott.
We always stayed out
of each other's way.
He was my top op before I
installed him in Cerberus.
As valuable to me as
you were to Beckham.
Though there were always red flags.
How red?
Well, he altered his grades in school.
Anomalies on his lie detector.
Deviations in his
personality assessment.
- Nobody's perfect.
- No.
His father owned a
restaurant in Sag Harbor.
The government thought
he was laundering money
so they harassed him until
he blew his brains out
in his empty dining room.
Hmm.
Wendell scrubbed the
walls and the ceiling
by himself to get the
place ready to sell it,
to pay back the tax debt.
Someone like that might hold a
grudge against the government.
I took a chance.
Mmm.
And I got myself an agent
with no entanglements,
- no family, no friends
- No life?
Like you.
(SOFT MUSIC)
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
Have you heard of the
Celia H. Foundation?
It's all over Abbott's financials.
No.
He fancies a garrote sometimes.
Do you think he killed Levitsky?
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
- (PHONE RINGING TONE)
- Sara?
I need you to track
down one more person.
I just saw his picture on Chase's wall.
His name is Jacob Aimes.
A-I-M-E-S.
Okay, on it. (CLEARS THROAT)
(BREATHING DEEPLY)
She wants information on someone.
She's using you. Well, that's great.
Am I her "handler" now?
Sara, you're not her
handler. You're her friend.
She trusts you.
Your job is to do anything she asks,
and swear to her
you won't tell a soul. Hmm?
And then come tell me right away.
You want me to be a snitch?
You're not a snitch!
You're a spy. Look
If you worked for the IRS
and you seized somebody's life savings,
would you be a thief? No.
You'd be a civil servant.
And we all know there's
nothing more honorable
than a civil servant,
now is there, Sara? Hmm?
Who did she ask for?
Uh, Jacob Aimes.
(TENSE MUSIC)
Jacob Aimes
Oh now, there's a can of worms.
(GRAY): Beautiful house.
I have nothing to hide,
but nothing to give you.
No time, less patience?
Why did you call Emmerson Miller?
I didn't. Did someone
call him posing as me?
If you think Emmerson knows
anything about me, he doesn't.
And if he did, he wouldn't say
anything. It's why I didn't call.
No one ever says anything
about you, do they?
Let's not play games.
You and I used to get along by
staying out of each other's way.
Let's go back to that relationship.
That's not really a relationship, is it?
It's the opposite.
You know, I support what you're doing,
and whomever you may take down.
If it's Tagg, fine.
Gold, better.
- Hmm.
- Both? Kudos.
Yeah, but your assets
have been the hardest hit.
Do you feel the person
leaking the information
- is targeting your operation?
- No.
- Targeting you personally?
- No.
I mean, do you ever discuss your
operations outside of Cerberus?
I don't discuss my
operations inside Cerberus.
Any friends? Spouse?
- No.
- Psychiatrist? Priest?
Lover?
Prostitute?
(CHUCKLES) No.
Why does Chase think you're the mole?
He doesn't.
- Practically said so.
- No, he didn't.
- He did.
- You misheard.
Do you think he's that loyal to you?
- I think he's that afraid.
- Afraid? Chase?
He's your mentor. He
gave you your start.
I gave myself my own start.
Hmm.
Who killed Winston Beckham?
The same person who
killed Andrei Levitsky.
Hmm.
We done?
Thank you.
(SIGHING) Oh, do you play the piano?
No.
(PROPELLORS WHIRRING)
(VEHICLES HONKING)
(SNIFFS)
Gray left early this morning.
Did she come see you?
Uh, yeah, she's still focused on Abbott.
And she's seeing Ben today. Her son.
And, uh ?
And, uh
She showed me how to do Scherenschnitte.
Did you get her to talk about Levitsky?
Never came up.
About meeting Chase Cornet?
No, sir.
Are you going with her to see her son?
No. I mean, why would I?
That's private between her and Ben.
There has never been a distinction
between Cornelia's
personal life and her work.
Why is that so difficult to understand?
(DRAWER CLOSING)
Okay.
Since she's off to see her son,
I have something else for you.
Take Rousseau.
We had a look at your work on Gray.
You looked at it?
I had someone look at it, yes.
What, you had another
analyst look at my data?
You're a field agent
now, you don't have time,
I had Connors look through it.
Do you Do you not like Connors?
No, I like Connors.
Well, there's an issue.
With my data?
With money.
The money doesn't add up.
Gray's motives don't add up either.
What did she do with all that cash?
In the interrogation,
Gray admitted that she hid
a stash of cash before
she went underground.
She used the cash to
purchase the house in Marlboro
and the tea room, before she eventually
- settled as Janet Lester.
- Okay
Okay, and matching her declared earnings
against her expenses, she should have
four to six thousand dollars left.
So?
So she didn't use banks,
she had no time to stash
the cash before the raid,
and nothing was found in your search.
So where's the money?
Why don't you just ask
her? Aren't you two besties?
You know, I will admit it. She
has a way of making you feel like
the most important person in
the world, like she's helpless
and you're the only one that can
help, do you know what I mean?
She's got you figured out.
It's my job to make her think that.
Anyway, Connors generated a
list of seven storage facilities
within a 50-mile radius
of Janet Lester's house
in Marlboro that accept cash on rentals.
Now, I doubt the
analysis of the numbers.
I don't think there's any
money left. But here we are.
I saw those men again.
What men?
Men watching you and Gray that night.
Not Gold's men, the other ones.
Who are they?
I don't know, but if I were you,
I'd watch my back.
(JAZZY MUSIC)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Mom?
(TENSE MUSIC)
- Hi! Hello.
- Oh, hi.
Excuse me, um, this is going
to sound maybe a bit weird,
but my aunt, she was in a
car accident over in Florida,
and well, she left her old
address book in a storage locker.
But the thing is, well,
her memory isn't quite right
so she can't actually
remember the name of the place
or, um
This is her photo.
Does she look familiar?
- I never forget a pretty face.
- Mm-hmm.
It's Virginia Kerr.
Thank you.
I'm sure you have a lot of questions.
What are you studying?
I still haven't picked a major.
Well, what do you like?
You'll figure it out.
Dad says that.
I bet you don't remember
when we used to come here.
You were too too little.
You used to take me for
allergy shots across the
street every Saturday.
And we had that cat with
the wonky eye, Loops.
We'd come here after.
Just you and me.
We sat here.
Definitely, right here, more than once.
And that table a few times.
I don't really remember
when we stopped getting
the shots exactly
We gave Loops to your
father's cousin, Ann.
And she claimed the cat
destroyed her drapes.
It hurt too much
having them stick you week after week.
Didn't hurt.
It hurt me.
What a memory you have.
You know what else I remember?
That time that I was sick.
You know, in the hospital?
And that next day, that you went away.
I told them.
I told Dad.
I told those government
guys, I told everyone.
I'm sorry.
Then two, three times
a year, someone from
some agency would pull me out of class
or stop me in the mall
or come to the house
And they all asked me the same thing.
(BEN SIGHS)
How would I know?
Maybe she slipped out for an hour?
Killed Beckham then.
I always told them the same thing.
I knew you were there all night
because I never let go of your hand.
I didn't care if they believed me.
I never let go.
Tell me I told them the truth.
(SNIFFLING) I never let go, Ben.
(SOFT MUSIC)
I never let go.
Thank you.
You know what? I think she
might've been working out of here.
Hey, Connors was way off.
It's gone now.
But from these wrappers,
I'd guess there was several
million dollars here.

Hmm.
Just move the paper in a circle.
Circular combination cipher. Holy shit.
The Cyrillic is double encoded.
(TENSE MUSIC)
No.
(PHONE RINGING)
Hey.
Jacob Aimes?
I still haven't found anything.
Could be another country,
under a different name.
Or dead like most of
the others. Keep trying.
Oh, also, I need the address
of the Celia H. Foundation.
Hmm
Okay, check your messages.
The foundation's not far from
your old place in Marlboro.
Talk to you soon.
(SOFT MUSIC)
(CHURCH BELL RINGING)
(BRAKES SQUEALING)
- Ma'am.

Hi. You must be Celia.
It's so nice to meet you.
(TENSE MUSIC)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
(KNOCKING)
Oh, my God!
We thought we'd never see you again!
I was starting to think so, too.
You look great.
Thanks. I'm back in the
city, back at my old job.
What happened? Jesus,
that was frightening!
I mean, it was like a bad dream!
Uh Look, we just had
dinner. Do you want some coffee?
No, no, no, I can't stay.
I wasn't that far
away, and I thought I'd
swing by and say hi to
my favorite neighbors.
I'm so sorry about everything.
It's not your fault.
Apparently, the woman
they're looking for,
Cornelia something, uh
she'd stolen my identity.
I had no idea.
Oh my God, that happens.
That happens to people.
Hello, Elizabeth.
Did you come to take Mittens back?
(CHUCKLING) No, no, no.
I-I came to see if she
could stay here with you.
If it's okay with your parents?
She's so wonderful.
Yeah, they are. (CHUCKLING)
- Well
- Thank you.
God, Janet, I'm just
glad it all worked out.
Thanks for dropping by.
Made Elizabeth happy.
(BIRDS CALLING)
(INDISTINCT BACKGROUND CHATTER)
You look nice.
How did you know I'd be here?
The trackers Tagg hid in your car.
Oh, I thought I'd found them all.
So you know where I've been.
Yes.
Hmm.
(TENSE MUSIC)
I know what it's like.
My mother died of Alzheimer's.
Your mother is so dear.
Deep down inside, she's still there.
She loves her son so much.
Loves her little boy.
I'm so sorry
for what you've been through, Wendell.
You crossed a line.
How quickly could I end your life?
In the blink of an eye.
You don't think you could stop me?
No.
It wouldn't matter,
you're much stronger.
So then you know.
You're alive because I
allow you to be alive.
- I know.
- I allow you
to be alive.
- We're so much alike.
- I didn't invade your family.
I wanted to know you.
- You wanted an advantage.
- No.
We've both been hurt
by the life we chose.
The one that chose us.
We could make each other
feel so much better.
We don't have to be alone.
We don't.
Are you afraid to look at me?
Are you afraid to see yourself?
Hmm?
You don't have to look at me
to know I'm here.
I'm here.
I'm right here.
I'm right here.
Have you
ever heard
of Jack Unterweger?
Playwright.
Television host.
1970s.
I've never heard of Jack Unterweger.
He loved women.
At least 12.
Women (SIGHING)
He made love to women.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
And he killed women.
(GRUNTING)
He killed them with their own bras.
(PANTING)
The underwires broke their hyoid bones.
Less pressure compresses the carotid,

More pressure, and the underwire

I'm having the best day

You want to know
You want to know the difference
