Ratched (2020) s01e08 Episode Script

1
[1940s instrumental music playing]
[Louise] Mrs. Helmstetter?
[breathing heavily]
Hello.
[in spooky voice] I'm Shrunken Apple.
I'm so thirsty.
It's important for me to be hydrated.
No, please! Just-- Just go away!
What is wrong with you?
Do you have any idea how long
it took me to make these things?!
[Bucket] Louise.
Can I see you in my office?
Louise, let me be crystal clear.
I have a soft spot in my heart
for a fidgety, faded,
alcoholic flapper like yourself.
Which is why I gave you a job
as a candy striper,
because I felt your life could use
a little direction.
But I will not tolerate you terrorizing
patients who are already fragile.
So
if they don't want your craft therapy,
you just say, "Have a nice day,"
and move on.
[breathes heavily]
Uh Understood.
[Bucket] Okay.
Roger that.
[scoffs]
[groans]
It's just that I'm so enthusiastic
about being here.
[chuckles]
Finally, I got something more
than just a job.
I have a career.
I just can't thank you enough.
Okay.
I almost forgot.
[sighs]
Your newspaper.
Look at that.
Oh.
Yes, I heard.
[clears throat]
The governor is hell-bent on reelection,
so he is rushing that through the system.
Now, it's a smart move, probably
get his campaign across the line.
If you ask me,
it is an absolute disgrace.
But, come election day
I think Tolleson will be dead.
[theme music playing]
[1940s popular music playing]
[faint moaning]
Oh, I'm sorry.
Oh, I'm sorry.
[Gwendolyn retches]
[coughing]
[toilet flushes]
[water running]
[breathing heavily]
[shuts off water]
[exhales deeply]
[gasps]
-Hey.
-Hi.
I didn't see you there.
I had to
I'd like to keep going but
I think I'm gonna need an intermission.
[both chuckle]
[taps toothbrush]
[exhales deeply]
I know
the chemotherapy's just started
but I can't believe
how awful I feel already.
What?
You have a plan
rattling around
in that brilliant little head of yours.
I felt I couldn't talk about it
until I knew what was going to happen
with Edmund.
And now
Now that that's settled
this chapter of my life
will have come to an end.
And you and I can just pack our bags.
We'll drive south.
Along the coastline,
all the way to Mexico.
Mexico?
Oh.
Oh, that'd be nice.
[Gwendolyn] And when the time comes
we'd be sitting on a balcony
a hacienda on the beach.
Margaritas in hand.
[glass shatters]
And I could just slip away
While the sun sets over the ocean.
And that
will be the end
of a particularly beautiful chapter
in what I know is going to be the long
and thrilling life of Mildred Ratched.
[sniffles]
Don't talk like that. [sniffles]
I mean it.
This has been the most
astonishing
luminous month
of my life.
Now you listen to me.
I've done some research.
I've heard about some brilliant doctors
who are having the most
extraordinary results
putting terminally ill cancer patients
into remission,
and they're in Mexico.
We can cure you, Gwendolyn.
Both of us will be getting on
with our lives
together.
Oh, Mildred.
Mildred.
Oh.
That does sound like heaven.
Doesn't it?
-[1940s instrumental music playing]
-[indistinct chatter]
[Mildred]
You've done a great job here, Betsy.
The hospital seems to be
running quite smoothly.
I must say that the way
Dr. Hanover ran things
set a rather low bar.
-Mm.
-[Bucket chuckles]
Oh.
I've hired a woman doctor.
Isn't that incredible?
I know you're here about your brother.
You probably want me to talk you through
what it's going to be like for him
the execution?
Yes.
[chain rattling]
[Bucket] He'll be brought down a long
hallway to the execution chamber.
He'll be strapped to a gurney,
and an IV will be inserted into his arm
as well as a backup
in case the first line fails.
-[priest speaking in Latin]
-He'll be given his last rites.
In his case, by a priest.
It's ironic.
At this point, Edmund will be asked
if he has any last words.
I'd just like to say
[shudders] I'm sorry for what I did.
I hope that my death
can provide you some comfort.
An injection of sodium thiopental
will render him unconscious
in a matter of seconds.
The second injection
is potassium chloride
which will stop his heart.
Usually, within a few minutes.
[sighs]
Mildred, you have done
everything you could for him.
What's important to remember is
that he has two more weeks left here,
and I want to make sure that his last days
have a semblance of dignity about them.
Dr. Hanover's barn is finished.
So I want to make sure
he spends an hour a day in there
to do a little work,
commune with the animals.
[chuckles faintly]
Why? [sobs]
[Bucket] I'm so very, very sorry.
I'm here for you, Mildred.
I'm here for both of you.
[Mildred continues sobbing]
It's a lovely day, isn't it, Mr. Tolleson?
These fatheads won't let me soap anymore
when I shower.
Mmm.
Hygiene is the least of your problems.
As you know, in two weeks,
you will be executed.
And despite your ghastly crimes,
you are a human being who must not spend
the entirety of his final days
confined to a cold, dark, sodden cell.
[inhales deeply]
And as a Christian,
I believe it is my duty
to give you every final chance
to make peace with God
and His beautiful Earth
that you took for granted.
Which is why every day,
I will allow you to come out
into the sunshine
and the fresh air and connect with nature.
-Did Mildred put you up to this?
-[chuckles]
Today you will spend time in the barn.
This barn was Dr. Hanover's dream.
He often talked about the ancient Greeks,
who were the first to use animals
to lift the spirits of the seriously ill.
And he spoke of horses,
believing that they could tell
a man's true character
from one interaction.
-[animals vocalizing]
-Gentlemen, if you please.
You have one hour.
[locks click]
[animal sounds]
[cocks gun]
[nervously] Any issue, and we've been
authorized to shoot you dead.
[guns cock]
Easy, fellas.
I'm not after no trouble today.
[chuckles]
[Edmund grunts]
[whispering] Oh, look at that.
Oh.
You take good care of that egg.
That's your egg.
Whatever you do,
don't let them take it away from you.
[pig grunts]
[chuckling]
[chuckles]
They ought to call you Porky.
[snickers]
Hi, Porky. [snickers]
You're a sweetheart.
[snickers]
Hm.
[horse whinnies]
Wow.
Hello.
Hi.
It's okay. Don't be afraid.
Look at me.
You see me?
[chuckles]
I'm not afraid.
I'm not afraid.
[shuddering] I'm not afraid.
I'm not afraid.
[shuddering]
[gasping]
[gasping]
[sobs]
[indistinct shouting]
[Wilburn] Case Hitchen.
You got any last words for the relatives
of little Jimmy Stratton?
Uh
Yeah, I-- I do.
I'm real sorry for what I done--
Thank you, Mr. Hitchen,
that was very moving.
Can you just, uh,
turn him around for me there?
[clears throat] Son
My name is George Wilburn,
I'm the governor
of the great state of California.
And I want to tell you,
when I was informed
that you were facing death
by lethal injection
for killing that seven-year-old boy,
I said to myself, "Well
he doesn't deserve that."
That you deserve this.
You know what they used to call
this old contraption?
-Big Sparky.
-[Case sobs]
[chuckles]
They put him away for awhile,
but it's time we brought him out,
put him back to work. Now look,
you can blubber all you want,
like that little boy did
when you slit his throat from ear to ear.
Or you can sit in the chair, be a man,
and get what's coming to you.
[Case gasps]
Mr. Hitchen is now taking his seat
in the chair.
Atta boy.
Looks like the governor is going
to address the family of the victim.
Ladies and gentlemen, friends and family
of that dear little boy, Jimmy Stratton
I
I want you to know
I share your pain.
As long as I am governor,
the state of California will be
a place of law and order.
You're gonna want to hear this.
Every law-abiding citizen will be able
to sleep soundly at night
knowing that their elected officials
protect their family
from bloodthirsty criminals.
-[grunts]
-And we'll do everything in our power
to make good on that promise.
-[camera flash clicks]
-Thank you.
Warden, hold on a second,
may I do the honors?
And now it looks like the governor
is going to throw the switch himself.
Well, son.
May God have mercy on you
because I ain't gonna.
[electrical zapping]
[gasping]
[reporter]
The governor has thrown the switch.
The prisoner is
Lord help us.
[gasping]
Why didn't they
Something is wrong.
Something is terribly wrong, this is
This is simply beyond description.
[Case screams in agony]
[electricity crackling]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, calm down, calm down.
Everything's fine, you just relax.
Everything's good.
[reporter] This man is
just burning before our eyes.
Why won't he stop this?
[electrical zapping stops]
The-- The, uh
The prisoner is, uh
The body is utterly unrecognizable.
He's been Well, he's still burning.
-Lord have mercy on--
-[shuts off]
[camera flash clicks]
Time of death: 8:21 a.m.
[jazz music playing]
Hello, Governor.
Gwenny, it's good to see you.
You remember Mildred Ratched?
Miss Ratched.
What a fine surprise. [inhales deeply]
Now, Gwendolyn didn't mention anything
about your presence
when we agreed to this get-together.
Oh. I hope it's no intrusion.
Oh, it's no intrusion.
The luckiest man in the world
to be in the company of two stunners.
Miss Ratched, with your legs,
Gwenny's rump,
together, you could give Ginger Rogers
a run for her money.
-Hey, sit down.
-Thank you.
Yup.
What can I do you for?
Well, Governor, we're here because I
I've
We believe in humanity.
It's about Edmund Tolleson.
Well, if you've come here with a plea
to spare a man's life
who killed five of my citizens,
then you're barking up the wrong tree.
We aren't here
asking for a stay of execution.
Mm.
I understand that
he deserves this sentence,
but I don't understand why it can't be
carried out through peaceful means,
like lethal injection or the gas chamber.
Why must it be this spectacle?
We aren't Romans where a man's death
is used as public sport!
I think what Mildred is trying to say,
is the state is making so much progress,
and that's because of
your forward-thinking policies.
To reinstate something as barbaric
as the electric chair,
it just throws us back to a time when
we were no better than heathens.
-Mm.
-I can't--
[waiter] How was it, sir?
Oh.
Tender as a supple woman.
If I was so inclined,
I'd eat two of them. [chuckles faintly]
Yup.
[sips]
[coughs]
The current climate of politics right now
is not about policy anymore.
It's about who stands up, who can
cut through the clutter of a crowd
and deliver his message
in a way people will listen.
I'm not a politician, I'm a Well
a performer.
Now, I'm always listening.
I'm listening to the audience to see
what they want me to play next.
You gotta listen.
[whispering] Listen.
They want a spectacle.
-They want that man in the chair!
-[thuds fist]
And I'm gonna give it to 'em,
'cause I'm a winner.
And come November ninth, well
I'm gonna win.
Ladies.
Been nice being in your company.
Edmund is my brother.
Mm-hm. Well, then, I recommend
you don't listen to the radio.
Gwendolyn,
I'm sad that you've gone so soft.
You won't be killing him.
You will be torturing him to death.
I cannot allow that to happen.
Do you hear me?
-For his sake and for yours, please.
-Darling, darling.
It's no use. It's no use.
Let him go.
Well, I'll be damned.
Couple of sapphos right under my nose,
and I never even sniffed it out.
Gwendolyn?
Now I know why you never slept with me.
Makes sense.
Look, jeez, I
My sister
well, she's
She's like the both of you.
And it's a hard life,
and I understand.
Good luck.
And don't forget,
when November ninth comes
vote for yours truly.
I'm sorry.
I don't know why I thought
that ever would have worked.
[door opens and closes]
What do we do now?
Sloppy joes, I swear each nurse had one
in that musty break room.
It took all my self-control
not to hurl right there and then.
So, Mrs. Mayfair,
who is the hospital's benefactor,
we've become very close.
I mean, she's a whiz at Parcheesi.
[Inhales deeply]
She said, "No, Betsy, I insist.
From now on,
all your lunches will be catered."
Betsy.
I need to talk to you about Edmund.
Um
How aware is she of
You don't know me well, Nurse Bucket--
Oh, no, I know you quite well.
You nearly bled to death
on this very carpet.
Scrubbing someone's blood out of
Saxony pile is a rather intimate act.
She's aware
of what he means to me and why.
The fact is, the governor has gone mad
with this electric chair.
He started frying people
to win points with the voters,
and Edmund is next in line.
You know I can't let that happen.
I am going to need your help.
He can't burn, Betsy.
This must be humane somehow.
I agree.
I mean, he is still our patient.
And anyone with a brain in their nut
can tell he's mentally ill.
And our job as nurses is to
treat the ill
with as much care and humanity
as possible.
No matter what they've done.
Angels of mercy.
Yeah, but what do you mean by "mercy"?
We bring him out to the barn.
And we'll arrange for no guards
to be inside this time.
He'll be appreciative.
It shows that we trust him.
And when the guards ask
why they're not needed,
I'll tell them because
Betsy Bucket says so.
Oh, well, they'll listen to that.
I mean, believe me.
-[Edmund] Hi.
-Who's this?
Hi. [chuckling]
This is Porky, my favorite.
[Mildred] He'll be caring for the animals.
Talking to them.
Then Huck will come up behind him
and inject him with sodium thiopental
to sedate him.
-He will fall to the ground
-[gasping]
and slowly lose consciousness.
[gasping]
[breathes deeply]
I'm so sorry, my sweet brother.
[breathes deeply]
I'm sorry this had to happen to you.
[breathes deeply]
As long as I'm alive, you will be with me.
You are part of me, Edmund.
[distant horse whinnies]
[pig grunts]
[Mildred] After it's done,
we merely say he got unruly,
so we had to give him a sedative,
and he had a bad reaction.
As you know, that happens all the time.
[clicks teeth]
As a nurse
I can't say I'm in love with the idea
of taking an action that will end a life.
I suppose we
We have to face the ghastly horror
of what would be the alternative.
[exhales deeply]
Maybe I should deliver the lethal dose.
That way you won't have to witness it.
Thank you.
But no.
I have to give it to him.
[sighs]
All right.
Thank you.
[metallic thud]
[door clicks]
[echoing thud]
Where have you been?
What's that? My last supper?
What's going on?
Nothing's going on.
I simply thought you might enjoy
a really special dinner.
[sets lids down]
Things that were your favorite
when we were kids.
Salisbury steak with mashed potatoes,
peas and carrots, and lemon meringue pie.
[Edmund chuckles]
That's ancient history, Mildred.
Take off your rose-colored glasses.
You're the only one left who hasn't
figured out what I really am.
I'm the only one who does know
who you really are.
Please do not eat with your fingers,
Edmund.
You could say, "Thank you, Mildred."
Fuck that. You're relieved, I can tell.
I'm gonna be dead in two weeks.
It is two weeks, isn't it?
You didn't have to put some rat poison
in here, did you?
Shame on you,
for even suggesting such a thing.
[Edmund scoffs]
You broke my heart, Edmund.
I had it all planned out.
And you ruined it.
And for what?
For love, Mildred.
I was a man in love.
Well, why didn't you just love me?
Why?
[voice wavering]
I'd sacrifice my life for you.
Well, I sacrificed my life for you,
and you abandoned me, just ran away.
Edmund, you told me to.
So you're done with me?
Oh, Edmund.
You don't know, do you?
You don't know
how grateful I am to you.
For what?
For killing them.
And saving my life.
That is why I did what I did.
To make up for leaving you there.
I didn't know what to do.
I was just a little girl.
I didn't [sobs quietly]
I'm sorry.
But I will never be done with you,
Edmund.
That will never happen.
I want us to spend some time
outside of this hellhole.
I've convinced Betsy to grant us
permission to have an hour together.
In the barn, just you and me.
You can introduce me to that pig you like.
[chuckles]
That's great. That's fantastic, Mildred.
There are so many amazing animals
I want to show you.
Oh, yeah?
[both chuckle]
Like what?
-Oh, well, there's a cow.
-A cow.
-And then a goat, and, um--
-What kind of goat?
[woman] Nurse Bucket?
Charlotte Wells is in the lobby.
[jazzy 1940s music playing]
Hello.
[in deep voice] Hello.
Can I help you?
Of course you can help me.
It's your job.
Follow me, it's important.
[scoffs]
Charlotte?
What?
What's happening, right now?
I don't know what you're asking me.
Where's Dr. Hanover?
Is this a riddle?
No.
You're looking at him.
I am Dr. Richard Hanover.
And I have very pressing matters
to attend to.
Okay.
Nurse Bucket, I admire you.
You're a beautiful woman
[scoffs]
and you have been a great asset to me.
But I cannot stay here much longer.
People are after me, dangerous people.
I need to leave here. Escape.
Find somewhere new
to start a brand-new facility
where I will be free
to chart a brave, new course
into the science of the mind,
and help patients like Charlotte Wells,
truly cure them.
Do you understand?
Oh, I'm
I'm very confused.
Tolleson. I need him.
He's my star patient.
Once I cure him, they will finally
understand what I am capable of.
I won't allow him to be put to death.
It simply will not stand.
Charlotte?
[in soft voice] Who?
-Charlotte?
-[in deep voice] What?
What?
You're in love with me, aren't you?
Okay. [chuckles]
Here's the thing, Dr. Hanover.
Please make yourself at home.
Well, it is your office, after all.
And I will do my job
as your trusty aide-de-camp
and go and get Edmund for you.
I'll just be a minute.
Good.
[sniffs] Thank you, Nurse Bucket.
All my work.
I must take it all.
Huck, come with me, I need your help.
[Charlotte] They will see my genius.
Charlotte Wells is here.
She's lost her mind.
She's lost several of them, I think.
Close the doors,
we don't want to disturb anybody else.
We can handle this.
That is not Edmund Tolleson.
Huck, I've made a mistake.
I think we should open those doors.
Not one step.
Uh Charlotte?
Dr. Hanover!
Can't you recognize your superior?
Neither of you would even have jobs
if it wasn't for me.
You with that Halloween mask for a face.
And Nurse Bucket, with your persistent
ineptitude and pathetic advances.
Which of you will take me to Edmund?
Um
Dr. Hanover.
Of course. It's nice to see you again.
Lucia hasn't been the same
without you here.
I said not another step.
You think I'm scared?
This is nothing
compared to when a Nazi scumbag
put a Colt 1911 to my temple.
He pulled the trigger, but the gun jammed.
Seconds later a mortar hit,
blew him to 50 pieces.
Only scalded half my face.
Charlotte.
Remember the dance?
I am not Charlotte.
I am Dr. Hanover,
I am your superior, and you
You are trying to manipulate me.
I'd never seen you so happy
dancing with Harold.
Remember?
[in soft voice] Yeah.
[voice wavering] Yes.
I remember his eyes.
-Those kind, sweet eyes, and
-[big band music playing]
how he looked at me like
I was a normal woman.
[echoing scream]
Then he killed him
[inhales deeply]
[sobbing] right in front of me.
[stops sobbing]
[sighs]
-[gunshot]
-[gasps]
What the hell was that?
[Bucket gasping]
-Oh, my
-Edmund has done some monstrous things.
But it is my job to understand why.
You sh-- shot You shot Huck. You shot--
Take me to him, Nurse Bucket. Now.
Look what you've done.
-You've killed him.
-Nurse Bucket!
[sighs]
Not that way!
[guard 1] Oh, my God. It's Huck.
[door opens]
[guard 2] Hey.
Hey.
Nurse Bucket, are you okay?
Who is that with you?
-[Charlotte] Tell him it's all fine.
-I think I'm gonna faint.
-Tell him.
-[gasping]
It's fine, Mikey.
Hey, who's your friend?
Hey, I said, who are you?!
[grunts]
[Bucket gasps]
I was first chair violin
of the London Symphony Orchestra,
you shit.
I played Mendelssohn
for Prince Louis II of Monaco.
Who the fuck are you?
[gasps]
Nurse Bucket.
My, you look white as a ghost.
Oh [forced chuckle]
And you look
Oh, I don't know, uh
huskier than a bear
stocking up for the winter.
[Bucket chuckles]
Thanks to your apple pies.
Best in the state.
Well, thank you, kind sir.
We just want to pop down to see
Mr. Tolleson just for a little second.
Who is she?
Isabelle. Isabelle, mm.
Isabelle Blankley, yes.
She's a liaison
for the Office of Prisoner Rights
from the American Civil Liberties Union.
The, uh, Civil Liberties Union.
Yes, yes.
She's-- She's here to do a quick check
to make sure that he's being adequately
cared for, despite his imminent demise.
Of course, Miss Blankley.
I think you'll see he's being treated
with the utmost respect, ma'am.
Who are you calling "ma'am"? You priss.
[elevator bell dings]
[guard] Nurse Bucket, I'm sorry, I've been
told there was a security breach.
[Charlotte] Release him.
Release Edmund Tolleson.
[guard] You know I can't do that.
Now, let's-- let's calm down,
we can talk this out.
[Charlotte] He is my patient.
This is my hospital.
And yet everybody is talking to me
like I am some petulant child!
[guard] You wanna release Edmund Tolleson?
Then you're gonna have to shoot me.
-[echoing gunfire]
-[Bucket gasps]
Jesus Christ.
-Get the keys. Let him out.
-[gasps]
[gasps]
Ooh!
[buzzer rings]
[door clicks]
[door thuds]
[Bucket breathes heavily]
Where's Mildred?
Who is she?
I am Dr. Richard Hanover, you idiot.
And I have risked everything
to get you out of here,
because you and I,
we have unfinished business, my boy.
[chuckles]
So you're a lunatic?
Fine by me.
-[Charlotte] Where are you going?
-[Edmund] Just a sec.
I got a question for Nurse Bucket here.
Get in that cell!
Uh-- Uh-- I'll let myself in.
[Bucket gasps]
-Where is she?
-[Bucket gulps]
Where's Mildred?
I-- I-- I don't know.
-What did you do to her?!
-Nothing, Edmund.
Mildred's a friend.
Why is this lady breaking me out
instead of her?
Is this her plan?
No, no. No, she
This-- This wasn't her plan at all.
I mean, that's if she has a plan.
I-- I have no idea.
You lie to me one more time, I'll paint
your brains all over this fucking cell.
What was Mildred's plan?
I knew she had one.
-What was Mildred gonna do with me?
-No!
I don't-- I don't know!
-Bullshit!
-Oh!
She was going to kill you.
She knew you'd get the electric chair,
and she didn't want
to watch you suffer, so she
So what?
She was going to euthanize you.
Yeah.
[breathing heavily]
[door shuts loudly and locks]
[Edmund] Let's go.
[elevator bell dings]
Well, I hope everything was up to snuff,
Miss Blankley.
[gasps] Shit!
Don't kill me.
I have children.
I've got their pictures in my wallet.
-If you just let me show you.
-Don't move those fucking hands.
I'm sorry.
Oh, God.
Leave him.
You've done enough.
[gasps]
You don't have kids.
-[wallet thuds on floor]
-Coward.
[grunts]
This way.
[Edmund breathes heavily]
Nice wheels.
My first purchase after I recently
came into some money.
Courtesy of Nurse Ratched.
You don't say.
[engine revs loudly]
[tires screech]
I look forward to continuing
our work together
Dr. Hanover.
As do I, Mr. Tolleson.
Together we make a fine team.
-[stomps on brake pedal]
-[tires screech]
[mariachi music plays]
Good morning.
-Morning.
-[chuckles]
Anything?
Truman's ordered the 24th Infantry
into North Korea.
Forty-six Americans dead.
At Osan, 130 wounded or missing.
You know that's not what I was asking.
I do realize that.
This line of questioning
has become a morning ritual.
So, no.
It's been more than two years
and no one has seen him.
He escaped the hospital and disappeared,
Mildred.
He's gone.
[knocking]
Oh. She made good time.
Yes.
Well, well, well,
look what the cat dragged in.
Mildred. Oh.
[chuckles]
Oh, my heaven.
This place is positively divine.
[gasps]
It's so good to see you, Betsy.
You, too.
[both chuckle]
[Bucket] I don't believe it. Mistletoe.
I mean, I'm not out of the woods yet,
but the doctor said that the treatment is
going better than she could have expected.
She's her star patient.
Well, I have to say
that is just the most fantastic news.
-Thank you.
-The wonders they're working these days
with brand-new medications.
Did you know,
they've discovered that
a tuberculosis medication called Isoniazid
can treat melancholy?
-Hm.
-Or "depression,"
they're starting to call it.
When I think of some of the things
I was doing,
like the hydrotherapy, I shudder.
It is so nice to be rid of them.
Who?
Men.
Oh.
Oh, I know neither of you
have much use for them, but
[chuckles]
But look at us.
Sitting here, sipping cocktails
on a glorious Mexican beach.
Not a fellow to be seen.
[Gwendolyn chuckles]
Enjoying the lives
that we've made for ourselves,
three strong, independent women.
I think it's just great.
Mildred, you're awfully quiet.
I appreciate all the optimism.
I really do.
But I don't feel quite
free from the past
the way you might.
Well, I know him.
He is my brother.
He's not finished.
And he won't be finished
until he comes for me.
Where are you going?
I'm going to get my book.
[shuddering]
[pounding on door]
[gun clicks]
Who is it?
[pounding]
Who is it?
[gasps]
[breathing heavily]
Hello, Nurse Ratched.
I just came to tell you
that I am completely cured.
And how did that happen?
Oh.
It's a marvelous thing.
I started
bathing in the blood
of the people I kill along the way.
It's absolved me of all my sins.
Where's my brother?
You should try it.
You've done a lot of killing, too.
[screaming] Where is my brother?!
I find it so interesting
that you've returned to the water.
Tell me or I will shoot you.
Why
he's right behind you.
What are you doing here?
Oh, sis.
Don't ask questions
you know the answer to.
I'm here to kill you,
and then I'm gonna kill myself.
Put us both out of our misery.
You and I, we can't go on the way we are,
we have too much damage on our insides.
Edmund!
No, no, it's the way it's got to be.
You betrayed me, Mildred.
The one person I loved.
[sighs]
How can I go on?
How can you?
We can't run from it forever,
so I figure
how about we just fucking end it?
Now you listen to me, little brother.
I am going to end it.
[gun clicks]
[shuddering]
-[gun clicks]
-[Charlotte grunts]
-[gun clatters]
-Eva Braun, huh?
[cackles]
I killed your man and I'll kill you, too!
Think you're gonna fucking kill me twice?
-[groans]
-Is that what you're gonna do?!
-[gasping]
-What is it? What is it?
Darling. Darling, what is it?
It's all right. It's all right.
You're here.
You're here, nothing is wrong.
Nothing is wrong.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's all right.
[loud knocking]
It's okay.
She's just early.
[door opens]
-Betsy, come on in.
-[Bucket] Hello. Oh, thank you.
[groans]
Well, that drive took positively forever.
-[sighing]
-[Gwendolyn chuckles]
My God, you look fabulous.
Ah. Mistletoe. Can you believe it?
[mariachi music playing]
God, I could live down here.
Mexico.
Who would have thought it?
Though I have to say,
I'm very happy where I am.
Mrs. Mayfair, what a doll.
She put her foot down and insisted that
I be made permanent head of the hospital.
That doubled my salary
right then and there.
[Gwendolyn chuckles]
And now I know where I'm spending
my two weeks' vacation every year.
Down Mexico way ♪
[Gwendolyn chuckles]
Enjoy, ladies.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
Oh, sorry.
Your newspaper.
Oh, thank you.
Anything?
She asks me that every day.
Mmm.
[Gwendolyn] Hm.
That's interesting.
What is it?
Multiple murder in Chicago.
[Bucket] What's so interesting about it?
They were seven nurses.
[telephone rings]
[man] Sorry to bother you, Miss Ratched,
but you have a telephone call.
Hello, Edmund.
How'd you know it was me?
Because I know every thought in your head
the moment you have it.
I knew you wouldn't stop.
And I knew you'd do something
to try to get my attention.
Did you like my tribute?
The nurses' massacre?
It was a clue.
Well, Edmund.
You have my full attention.
Aren't you wondering how I found you?
I know that someone I know sold me out.
And when I find out who that someone is
I will make them pay dearly for it.
You ought to listen to me now, sis.
I don't have to.
You're going to tell me
that I betrayed you.
And that you're coming for me.
And that I should be very afraid.
Well, let me tell you something,
little brother.
You are the one who should be afraid.
Because I am coming for you, Edmund.
[hangs up phone]
[hangs up phone]
[breathes deeply]
[Charlotte] I was first chair violin
of the Vienna Philharmonic.
If Mozart heard you,
he'd take that hat off your head
and shove it up your ass.
-Ha! Can it, will ya?
-[1940s popular music playing]
Why are you always laying into me?
I didn't say anything.
I just asked you to change the radio.
["Don't Fence Me In" playing]
Okay, ladies.
Let's hit the road.
Oh, give me land, lots of land ♪
Under starry skies above ♪
Don't fence me in ♪
Let me ride through
The wide open country that I love ♪
Don't fence me in ♪
Let me be by myself ♪
In the evening breeze ♪
♪And listen to the murmur
Of the cottonwood trees ♪
Send me off forever
But I ask you, please ♪
Pop, oh, don't you fence me in ♪
