Pieces of Her (2022) s01e08 Episode Script

1 That money's evidence, and your uncle wants to get a hand on it.
Sorry.
Mike? I got you.
Call 911! Tell me if I'm wrong You're not an only child from Rhode Island.
You have a brother running for vice president, and the other one was in some cult that killed your father.
What was I supposed to say? Your father is wanted by the FBI? As long as I am alive, I can testify against him.
- Where are you going? - You have to trust me.
Why the fuck would I do that? Nick is here somewhere.
He's been out there 30 years.
Why come back? People have long memories.
You're on your own, you brood on the past.
That feeling connects you to something, you hold on to it.
Charlie! Who are you? Nick Harp.
Your father.
Hello? Hello, Jane.
I saw your message.
Nick.
I wondered if you'd see the interview.
I've been keeping up on the news.
Ever since you stole my move in the diner.
And then you sent your friend.
Should have come yourself.
You'll remember I'm a fucking fugitive.
I've been thinking how to make things right between us.
Yeah? And how would you do that? I give you what you want.
You leave me alone and I never testify.
Owning Jasper is my consolation prize? You don't want to own the next vice president? Where should we meet? The last place I saw you.
How did I get here? There was an accident.
You hit your head pretty hard.
I heard the crash and found you calling for help.
Where's Charlie? EMS was taking a man to the hospital.
Who's Charlie? My friend.
There was a woman who took care of me.
Clara.
She's long gone.
Are you cold? There's no electricity.
You trying to decide? If there's any resemblance? It's the eyes.
And the way you hold yourself.
Must be quite a shock to see me.
Who did she say your father was? Did you love her? Yes.
I'm sorry that happened.
You always beat up your pregnant girlfriends? I had no idea you existed until I saw you.
That day in the woods You remember that? I do now.
You were this perfect - Perfect little creature.
- Why didn't you take me with you? I wanted to.
That was no way for a child to live.
In hiding.
That is how I lived.
I just didn't know it.
Jane didn't tell you a thing, did she? She told me enough.
- I know what you did.
- Do you? And what did she say about me? That you hurt people.
I never wanted anyone to die, Andrea.
That's not what we were trying to do.
I'm not the big bad wolf.
Then who are you? You haven't noticed that men like your grandfather strip-mine the world? Someone had to fight back.
Uh, things haven't changed much.
You're part of a very wealthy, very corrupt family.
They're not my family.
You'll have to decide what to do about that.
- You don't know anything about me.
- I know you want the truth.
That's something your mother can't give you.
What do you want from her? We have unfinished business.
- What did you do to her? - She's fine.
Are you gonna behave? Oh, thank God.
Are you all right? I'm okay.
I'm sorry.
I tried to keep you out of this.
Is that why you ditched me? Jane's an expert at making an exit.
- Charlie knew you'd come here.
- Charlie? What Where is he? We were trying to find you.
There was an accident.
An accident? They took him to the hospital.
Come on.
Let's sit down.
Blonde suits you, Jane.
When I first met your mother, I thought she belonged in a convent.
Then I looked again.
Is that what this is? You're gonna take that money and run off together? What? You know, sometimes I wake up and I think I'm in Andrew's old apartment.
And I can feel you breathing beside me.
I've forgotten all that.
You're really going to pretend our daughter doesn't remind you of me? Of course she reminds me of you.
You've been there.
Looking back at me every fucking day.
When did you know you were pregnant? Just before Oslo.
And why didn't you tell me? You sent me back to the house to spy on my father.
We barely saw each other.
That's not an answer.
My father and I were sitting at breakfast when this wave hit me.
I barely made it to the bathroom.
Mrs.
Barfield bought me one of those drugstore tests.
What did Martin say? I knew it was the last thing he wanted.
Of course it was.
You know our daughter disapproves of me.
She thinks I ran a cult.
She hasn't noticed she's already in one.
Family is the real cult, isn't it? I'm on the FBI's most wanted list.
But the Quellers They weren't exactly innocent, are they, Jane? So where is it? What is that? What is that? You'll take over the company.
The responsible son.
Jasper, I'm telling you It's too dangerous.
Just get Alex Maplecroft invited to Oslo.
I'll do the rest.
No one will know you had any part of this.
This is insane.
We can't pull it off.
You'll take over the company.
The responsible son.
Jasper, I'm telling you, the board won't even blink.
I want him out, but - Not like this.
- Trust me.
He'll resign.
He'll have to.
He'll have no choice.
Look, I know you know he's got his eye on Jane.
I don't know, maybe she could run it all.
Maybe she is the one.
You're sure about Grace Juno? She'll do whatever we ask her to do.
I don't want to know the details.
Just Just Give me two weeks.
You knew Jasper was involved.
No.
Not till later.
But you've had that, this whole time.
- Yeah, to buy my life back.
- You've had a life.
What are you gonna do? Blackmail your way to a pardon? We'll see.
Jasper's had a good run.
He's the only one of us who got what he wanted.
Well, now you have what you want.
Not yet.
I wanted to see you, Jane.
You sent a man to kill me.
No, I didn't.
He was supposed to bring you to me.
I couldn't exactly show up in Belle Isle.
I don't believe you.
There are things I'd like to know.
I think our daughter would too.
Charlie.
Hey, Charlie, come on.
Hey.
What happened in Oslo, Jane? What happened in Oslo? - You know what happened in Oslo.
- I didn't give Grace that gun.
Right.
Just like you don't know what happened to Charlie.
Oh, God.
Andy, no! No, Andy! No! Don't move! Don't move.
Honey, you're okay? Mom.
Mom.
Okay.
Okay.
Let me see your arm.
You're okay.
Stay here.
You've been waiting to do this.
I know you have.
Do it.
Come on, go ahead.
Come on.
Come on, go ahead.
Mom.
Andrea, no.
Oh, God, I told you to stay there! What are you waiting for? Jane You don't have to do this.
It's over.
Please don't do this.
- US Marshals! Drop your weapon! - Everybody on the ground, now! - Drop the gun, now! - Drop your weapon! Everybody on the ground, now! Thanks for coming out here.
I needed to see you were in one piece.
I can't believe Charlie's gone.
I used to resent Charlie.
That he knew my wife more than I did.
Now you know everything.
I read everything I could.
Martin.
Oslo.
Concert reviews.
Everything.
Thought it would help explain things, but it doesn't.
Not really.
Dad You wanna change your name? I What do you mean? I'm revising your mom's will.
She's legally a Queller now, so you should probably I don't want anything from them.
Listen, Andy.
It's your legacy.
Your mom wants you to have it.
You're gonna have to make your way back to her.
It's different for you.
You can't avoid your mom.
Anything you need me to say, I'm ready.
Good.
Government's been waiting 30 years to get this guy.
- Oh, well, I've waited too.
- Fair enough.
But after you give your testimony, Mr.
Harp will be heading straight to a supermax.
Let him rot.
- Mr.
Queller.
- Hey, Marnie, could I borrow my sister? - We'll be in touch.
- Thank you.
What are you doing here? - You didn't answer my calls.
- Andy was in the hospital.
Hey, how is she? I heard the, uh I heard the whole thing was pretty brutal.
Are you wondering about the tape? Well, it's gone.
Everything burned in the fire.
You don't believe me? The, uh The Feds are willing to work with us as to when and how the news breaks about Nick.
Oh, he already has an attorney.
- So? - So, he'll find a way out of this.
I don't think so.
He's responsible for the death of a US Marshal.
Not to mention our father.
We need to find out what he's telling that lawyer.
Don't you think? You can make that happen.
I'm sorry? Find out what he's saying.
Do you, do you even hear yourself? You-You're asking me to interfere in the justice system.
In a case involving our family when I'm about to be You really are incredible.
Wow.
Hey.
Hey.
Sorry, I'm, uh I'm not here for work.
Uh, are you all right? What did the doctor say? They found a needle mark.
Some kind of respiratory paralytic.
They said if you didn't start CPR, I wouldn't have made it.
So, thank you for saving my life.
Well, we're even.
Uh What are you doing here? I'm, uh, I'm driving up to DC.
Figured I'd stop by on the way.
What's in DC? Ask Internal Affairs.
- I didn't get you fired, didn't I? - I did what I did.
We'll see what they say.
How's your arm? It's fine.
How are you doing with all this? I don't know.
- It's hard to sleep.
- Hmm.
I'll send a couple of Feds up to your house to keep an eye on you and your mom.
If you like.
I'm picky about my stalkers.
Right.
You know, I am passing back through in a couple of days, so We could grab dinner.
- Like normal people? - Yeah.
Yeah.
Do you think we could do that when I'm a little more Sure.
I'm glad you stopped by.
Even if Belle Isle isn't on the way to anything.
I don't know.
I'm kind of coming around to this place.
The scenery's not so bad.
Wow.
Hi.
Nothing sparks joy? It's all junk.
We haven't talked.
I thought maybe you needed some time.
But you can ask me a question.
Ask.
Why'd you want to see Nick? I wanted him to leave us alone.
He could have killed you.
I know.
Sounds like you don't even care.
He's been killing me every day.
I just needed to get him out of my head.
Sometimes I would become so fucking enraged, I just wanted to burn the house down.
I always thought I'd done something wrong.
No! Oh.
God, no.
I I never wanted you to see me like that.
That's why I would go to the beach.
And I'd think, "What would Laura do?" Like she was a real person.
She was real to me.
I know.
I'm trying to let her go without losing everything else.
I remember something and then I think Andy, our lives here with Gordon, all those years You won't lose that.
I just wanted you to have your own life.
I mean, is it better knowing all this? Yeah, I know how I got here.
I know what happened.
I know who you love.
And what do you want from Nick? What? - Nothing.
I just I - What? I'm glad I know who my father is.
Is that so terrible? I wish you'd never met him.
- I wish I hadn't - You're mad at me.
- For stopping you in the woods.
- He has nothing to give you.
- He destroys people.
- I know what he does.
No.
- You don't.
- I didn't do it for him.
I don't give a fuck about Nick.
I care about you, Mom.
Do you get that? I want you to have your own life.
What would that look like? - Good afternoon.
- Hi.

As if he has a say in whether she exists.
He tried to hurt her.
He'll try again.
He'll do anything to stop her from being born.
People treat him like he's some kind of king.
The ambassador met us on the tarmac.

I-I know it's early.

Um Most of it.
What do you want to know? I've been thinking about Grace Juno.
Did she, uh Did she leave a suicide note or anything? No.
But, uh, it was pretty clear she blamed QuellCorp.
Then Nick put a gun in her hand.
Oh, how did they How did they know Grace didn't bring it herself? The security, they They checked her bag when she walked in.
Did anyone see Nick give Grace the gun? Besides my mom? I'm sorry.

And I have to say, I expected more of you, professor.
- You can blame capitalism all you want - I blame you.
Professor Maplecroft, please.
When things go wrong, we all like to point fingers, make it someone else's fault, but that's not how the world works.
And that is why you are all here.
Reality check.
And reality is complicated.
It's easy for academics to criticize pharmaceuticals for being Hello, Jane.
Jasper? There'll be an announcement soon.
I'm Senator Shepherd's running mate.
Congratulations.
I took your advice about Nick.
I thought it would be good to know what was on his mind.
And he talked a lot about you.
Oslo.
What you did.
I've never understood you, Jane.
But we're family.
I can keep it quiet.
What do you want? I'll be in touch.

We can start over.
You okay? I thought you'd gone.
No, I just couldn't sleep.
You know, I didn't want to move here.
And then the day we arrived I saw the ocean for the first time.
Just ran straight into the water.
I thought maybe this place will be okay.
Do you wanna walk for a bit? Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
