Episode 6
1
I know with every fibre of my being
that our daughter is gonna live.
You gotta trust me.
(DOORBELL RINGING)
- You can't go on tour.
- What?
You have to see a doctor right away.
I'm gone for the week.
I'll see the doctor when I'm back.
Just stop! It wasn't a premonition, OK?
- I've already lived this.
- OK, that's enough. Let me go.
(DR. KOONAR): You were right.
She has a urinary tract infection.
It's in her kidneys.
If you hadn't gottten here when you did,
things could have been way worse.
We got the infection in time.
Your baby is gonna be fine.
- You're giving me the firm?
- It's all yours.
We're millionaires.
Our kids are gonna have
everything they need.
- She's coming.
- I see her.
- One more push!
- Oh my God! Oh my God!
You see? You're never gonna
have to worry about a thing.

Good morning, my love.
Oh, "my love?"
Well, I've never felt this way
about anyone else before.
Um
No, I thought I was clear.
I'm leaving for Prague.
Yeah, well, I thought maybe
maybe I'll wait for you.
(WHISPERING): Please don't.
(NORMAL VOICE): Don't.
Oh God!
You up for tonight?
Uh, where is this party?
The Old Port.
The whole gang will be there.
Um, I have to drop by
my brother's work thing first.
I haven't seen him in a year.
Don't bail on me.
Well, he started a law firm.
Not exactly my type of party.
(CHUCKLING)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Look at you!
Oh my God! I'm so glad you could come.
Are you kidding? Highlight of my week.
I'm legit now. My own firm.
I was always gonna be
a lawyer or criminal.
- It was a toss-up for a while.
- Hey, come meet my new partner.
- Yeah.
- Phil.
Hang on, excuse me. Yeah?
I want you to meet my sister Evelyn,
the real genius of the family.
She just graduated
with distinction in music
from the University of Ottawa.
Ev, this is Philip Grimmer,
my new partner.
He's about to become the most
powerful lawyer in Montreal.

- Hey, Melanie.
- (WHISPERING): Hi.
Ev.
(BABY GRUNTING)
Evelyn.
- Hmm?
(SHUSHING)
(WHISPERING): I just got her to sleep.
(SHUSHING)
I th
I thought that we agreed
that we'd be breastfeeding.
Well, I'm not making enough milk.
We talked about this.
I mean, every effort needs to be made
to give her the best possible start.
Sure, but you're not the one
who has to make the effort.
Yeah, if you only knew.
If I only knew what?
Or you just know everything, right?
No, baby.
(SHUSHING)
Hey, it's OK. I got her.
Come here, Charlotte. I got you.
I got you. I got you.
(SHUSHING)
As a father,
I can imagine the pain that
comes with having a sick child,
the helplessness, the despair.
Well, at the Grimmer Foundation,
together,
we're going to try to prevent
the unthinkable from happening.
From this point on,
it is going to be my sole aim
to ensure that kids
across this city have access
to state-of-the-art
paediatric health care.
(CAMERA SHUTTERING)
Now, in my life,
I've been called obsessive.
But to this end,
I consider that obsession
my most valuable strength,
because I am here today to swear to you
that I will not rest
until every sick and suffering
child in this city
is given a chance at a swift recovery
and a new lease on a long
and beautiful life.
Thank you.
(CROWD APPLAUDING)
Thank you for coming.
Thanks for coming.
That was inspiring.
Oh, thanks.
Um, are you gonna work for
the foundation full-time now?
I'm not coming back to the firm, Pat.
Well, but, say say
you did miss practicing law
I just got to a point
in my life where I
Where you want
to make a difference. I get it.
We can shut down more mines
if that gives you a boner.
I gave you the firm. Run with it, OK?
We were such a good team.
What do you need? Money?
(SCOFFING)
Can't I just miss my partner?
Have you seen your sister?
Yeah. Yeah, she's, uh,
she's just next door.
OK. Great, thanks.
(PHIL SCOFFING)
Drinking again?
Fuck, Phil, it's one glass.
- Yeah, but
- I don't care anymore.
What's that supposed to mean?
(SIGHING)
You're suffocating me.
Well, Ev, your behaviour
is concerning me.
Because you know best.
Don't you?
I know I can be intense.
- But it's only because
- Because what?
You're gonna tell me
why you're so confident,
that you know exactly
what to do all the time?
You wouldn't believe me if I told you.
Try me.
I know things because
I discovered a travel agency.
Plan B.
They offer trips
to the past.
What?
You call this number and, uh, you pay.
And the next day,
this van shows up with these two twins.
And the next thing I know,
I wake up in the past
except I can remember everything
that's gonna happen, so
so I can change it
for the better.
(LAUGHING)
(SCOFFING)
I've already made several trips.
(EVELYN INHALING DEEPLY) Yeah, OK
First to save our marriage
then to save our daughter.
Charlotte was born premature, Ev.
She didn't make it.
How would I have known
about the infection
if I hadn't already lived through it?
O-o-or the lottery, right?
And how could I have won?
I already knew the numbers.
OK.
Then I want to use it too.
(CHUCKLING)
What could you possibly want to change?
You want to know what I would change?
Yes.
I never would have joined
the firm as a paralegal.
I never would have given up
on my cello, my music,
my orchestra.
I never would have lived
in such a big, cold house.
I never would have had a baby when
When what?
Actually, I never would have
had a baby with you.
(EXHALING SLOWLY)
There it is
the truth.
You're not capable of loving
anybody but yourself.
Not even your own daughter.
Va chier.
I love her more than anything
in the world.
It's you. You're the problem.
Right. I've given you everything, Ev.
I'm not a bad mother,
even if you think I'm incompetent.
Who are you calling?

You said you didn't want a child.
You said that!
Are you gonna breast feed her?

- Thank you.
- Have a good day.
You too.
(ELEVATOR BEEPING)
You really want full custody?
It's a bit overkill, don't you think?
You have to go through my lawyers, Pat.
I'm your friend.
I know your "friend" technique.
- I'm not playing.
- And neither am I.
I want full custody.
Ev gets visiting rights. That's it.
(SCOFFING)
Why are you making Charlotte
pay for your break-up?
I have more free time, more resources.
- I can afford staff to help.
- I won't let you do this.
Wait a minute, you're her lawyer?
Ooh, I'm scared.
(CHUCKLING)
You faked an accident
just to get her back.
How do you think a judge will take that?
Ev neglected to go to the doctor
when she had a fever.
Witnesses saw you drive like a maniac
to stop her from going on tour.
She cares more about her career
than she does her own daughter.
Her friend saw you push Ev
down the stairs!
That was an accident!
Look, she said it herself
that she regrets
having a child with me.
She doesn't even want Charlotte.
And if she cared about her so much,
then why then why'd she leave
in the first place?
I get it.
I get it, you're hurt.
You know how this goes.
Custody battles get ugly.
Is that really what you want?
Two hundred K.
What?
More?
All right, I'll give you $500,000
to convince her to give me full custody.
Oh my God!
- You've got to be kidding.
- Name your price, Pat.
- I know you have one.
- She's my sister.
What the fuck is the matter with you?
Absolutely not!
Phil

if you keep acting like this,
Ev will never want
to speak to you again,
let alone let you see your child.

It's nice to see you.
Hi, Charlotte.
Hello.
- Hi.
- What a nice surprise visit!
Yeah.
Um, actually, I'm ready to come back.
Uh, there's no rush.
You still have a couple months
left on your mat leave.
Well, things have changed.
Phil and I It's over.
Well, that's great.
I mean, to have you back.
It's so good to see you.

Hey.
I, uh, was wondering
if maybe I could take Charlotte.
Just take her for a walk
just around here, like,
the park maybe.
Ev, I don't want
to go through lawyers
Phil, you filed for full custody.
I withdrew.
I think you and I can do this together,
the right way, for Charlotte's sake.

She had a hard time
falling asleep last night
so I, uh, I had to take
one of your sweaters

Guess it was the smell or something.
Did you miss Mommy?
So, listen, uh, it's not a big deal,
but you still have
a lot of stuff at the house.
I don't know if you want me
to pack it up and drop it off,
or if you want to come by.
I'm still sorting out my living
arrangements if that's OK.
Yeah. Yeah, of course.
OK.

Should we, uh,
finalize the divorce agreement?
Uh, there's no rush.
Hmm, it's been a month.
I don't want to rock the boat, you know?
Well, in, uh, in my experience,
it's best to get it over with

That way, you can both move on.

But I could tell that she was
having trouble breathing.
She was so stuffed up.
So I tried to use
one of those sucker things,
but every time I got it near her,
she started squirming.
Yeah, you have to hold her arms up.
Ah
Well, I ended up using my mouth.
Wait, you sucked out her snot?
Yeah, I had to.
You wouldn't have?

No.
This will help her breathing.

Put this over her nose and mouth.
