Mary Kills People (2017) s02e02 Episode Script
The Connection
1 You kill people, don't you? I go to this border town for a little R&R.
Kill or be killed.
And I've been using your place as a safe house.
I hope that's okay.
I thought perhaps your partner going to prison may have given you pause.
People kept needing me.
We don't murder perfectly healthy individuals who happen to be a bit sad.
Buddy, no! Well, in Switzerland, a doctor would give a patient such as yourself a lethal dose of sodium pentobarbital, to drink.
Jess, I have some of your dad's things that he left here.
Would you see that he gets them, please? Sure.
And I don't think we should only help people when it's easy for us.
We also have to be able to sleep at night.
The first death I do with you ends with a woman flinging herself off a balcony, and then you welcome Grady's sister into our lives.
I didn't.
She took advantage of me.
I'm gonna need you to kill my husband.
Mary she said it was it was either him or me.
I'm the woman who killed your brother.
A cop killed my brother.
A cop may have pulled the trigger, but I let Grady bleed out and die.
If you ever mess with me or Des again, I will kill you too.
Just a bad couple of days.
It's growing pains or something.
I just want to help people, Des, and when I do it alone, I can.
You'll feel a rush through your body, and then a warm feeling of peacefulness will take you slowly into sleep.
You can press it again and again.

[both singing in a foreign language.]
[applause.]
[indistinct chatter.]
[speaking in a foreign language.]
What does it mean? Don't be afraid.
Love does not kill.
It's life itself, and it shines with heavenly joys.
That's beautiful.
Mm.
It's my first time.
I had no idea it was so powerful.
We haven't even gotten to the good stuff.

To the finale.

Mary Kills People 02x02 The Connection ==sync, corrections by dcdah== [light music.]
[knocking.]
Sorry I'm late.
Has she contacted you? Who? Grady's sister, Olivia.
- No.
- Good.
You can't see her again.
If she tries, ignore her.
Oh, is that what I should do, mumsy? I'll do my very best.
Can we be civil? Everything your cold, dead heart desires is right there.
Civil enough for you? - What's this? - It's called pentobarbital.
It's a barbiturate.
In smaller doses it slows down brain activity.
In larger - Des.
- Yes, Mary? - I meant where's the rest? - I've decided to keep half.
For what? I'm opening up a pharmacy called "Desmond's Drugs.
" What do you think? Oh, and I'm keeping all the Champers, 'cause you can buy more with all the money you made while I was, you know, rotting away in prison for you.
- Des.
- Why do you keep saying my bloody name? If you have something to say, then please just say it.
Did you ever think maybe I was doing this for you, to protect you? Is that it? Is it? Because I thought this was all about you not having anyone to answer to, but my mistake.
No, if this is about your sacrificing everything for the greater good, for me, well, then thank you.
Thank you for protecting me.
In the immaculate heart of Mary I trust.
You know, I had this dream the other night, It was just you, me, the death retreat.
It could have been stunning.
That was always your dream, not mine.
Good luck, Des.
No, Dr.
Harris, good luck to you.
"Before you came along, I thought I'd be alone forever, but then you unleashed in me a love that could not sever.
" Oh, that's beyond tragic.
Yeah, who knew your dad was such a romantic, huh? - What else is in here? - I don't want to know.
Now, why would she give these back? Oh, my God, no, no.
I might not recover from this.
Extra large.
No, that's too much information.
Oh.
[bleep.]
, my mom's home.
I promised her I'd make a salad before she got here.
You do that.
How's that salad coming along? - I'm on it.
- I'm just asking.
I'm just answering.
Oh, perfect timing, Dinner's almost ready.
Kevin, Jess was supposed to do that.
- Well, what are fathers for? - Nobody seems to know.
Don't condone her behavior.
Let her make the salad.
- It's okay.
I'm happy to help.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
- What is this? Oh, yeah, some guys came bay and delivered it this morning.
I wasn't sure where you wanted it, so Why do we need a fridge with an app? Well, because we're living in the future, kid.
Well, they must have delivered it to the wrong house.
Is there a receipt or something? Yeah, it's right there on the counter.
Oh, no, no too much.
Not too much lemon.
All right.
Put this in.
It's just a mistake, that's all.
I'll call them tomorrow.
Perfect, perfect.
Sex tape? Threesome? Do you have any questions? Yeah, yeah, why a drink and not injections? 'Cause I researched it, right, and it's it's better.
It's a smoother exit.
Mm-hmm, young Joel brings up a valid point.
Well, I think doctors feel it's important for patients to choose their death.
Oh, okay, I get it.
I got to pull the trigger.
This is obviously a very serious decision.
Yeah, I know that.
[light music.]
Okay, picture this: cabins right here with that view.
There's one for each patient but with enough room for loved ones who want to stay as well.
Up here there's an old fishing lodge.
We can use it as a communal kitchen with an onsite chef.
We'll put picnic tables all along the water.
So how do you expect to get away with all of this? We register as a hospice.
That way when there's a dead body, no one will ask any questions.
It will all seem legit.
Ex-con running a hospice, sounds legit to me.
It'll be a little piece of heaven to transition you to the real thing, you know, if that's what you believe awaits you.
We'll encourage a culture where death doesn't have to be so scary, that we're all in this together.
Okay, I get it.
How much do you want from me? I need 50K for a deposit.
I know, I know, it seems like a lot of money, but not really when you think about what you'll be making in return.
I should be able to pay you back plus interest within a month of being up and running.
- What about Mary? - Mary who? You guys are serious about this breakup? Dead serious.
Well, without her, where are you gonna get the rest of the money? You're gonna start feeding me patients.
Am I? What's Mary paying you, 2 grand a pop? I'll give you three.
More money, more money.
Mary didn't say I have to be exclusive with her.
'Tis called the free market.
Okay.
Joshua Yang, nice kid, he was in the ICU a little while ago, stage four bowel cancer.
He's only 21.
A shame.
I'll take him.
I think this could be the start of something beautiful.
- Shall we christen the land? - Really? No.
The way I see it, you have a choice.
You can believe in nothing, or you can believe in something, and I choose something.
What about you? I was raised by atheists.
I'm a godless child.
You know, you don't have to believe what they believe.
What are you guys talking about? - God.
- Seriously? What, you're just walking around talking about God? It's thrilling, really.
Do you believe in anything, Naomi? Well, I believe in Prada, marrying rich, diamond divorcee, but who cares? We all end up as dust anyway, so - That's bleak.
- I'm a realist.
Can you not make any plans tonight? I have to tell you something.
Um, Heather and I already made plans.
Well, cancel them.
This isn't a joke, Jess.
There's something that I really need to show you, and it's kind of confidential, so - I - What? Naomi, me and Jess, we're hanging out tonight without you.
We'll hang out later, 'Kay? Oh, sure, whatever.
- Curls suit you.
- When I was five.
Keep it straight.
You know, you'd think since you were the one asking for my help that you would be extra nice to me right now.
Nicole, seriously, no curls.
Okay, so it's simple.
You're a cash business.
All you have to do is add in a few clients here and there, and no one will question it.
And what is a few to you? Oh, my God.
Have you lost your mind? How much is in here? 200 grand, give or take.
I've never made this kind of money.
You're expanding your business.
You can offer more services.
Oh, yeah? Like what, legal advice? I'm not talking literally, just on paper, and you don't have to do it all at once.
- Baby steps.
- Baby steps? What's in it for me? - I'll give you a cut.
- Obviously.
What else? What else, what else? I want to come with you on a death.
I just told you I broke up with Des, that I'm better off doing this on my own.
I know, I know, you're a lone wolf.
I heard you.
I just I'm just curious.
You know what curiosity did to the cat.
That cat was so stupid.
I'm being serious.
I think it would be too much for you.
I can handle it, Mary.
I've seen a dead person before.
Do you remember? [doorbell rings.]
Hi, Mary Harris? No, I don't want it.
I don't want it.
You take it back, and you take the fridge while you're at it.
I was told not to leave unless delivery was accepted.
I'm not accepting.
Is everything all right? Yeah, everything's great.
Okay, what's the verdict? Am I coming or not? Not.
- What's that? - Nothing.
Come on, Mary.
It's a simple quid pro quo.
I do something for you, you do something for me.
I don't think that's too much to ask.
Which one of us do you think is older? [laughter.]
You're not only beautiful, but you're smart too.
I'm not so sure about the beautiful part, but I'll take the smart.
You're stunning, Estelle, and she knew because I introduced you as my younger sister.
You two remind me of me and my sister.
She died a few years ago, but back in the day we were inseparable.
- I'm sorry.
- Uh.
Are you okay? Do you want to sit? Yeah.
- Is this where you want to be? - Yeah, it's perfect.
It's perfect.
Ready to sing my swan song? We played in a band together, my sister and I.
- Do you still sing? - Mm, it's not so much fun without an audience.
We loved it, different city every night.
Same man though.
Mm, that sounds like a story.
I don't kiss and tell.
Hell, yeah, I do.
[laughter.]
I was a cliché, falling in love with the guy who plays guitar.
He wanted to settle down, but I kept going.
He didn't follow.
- Well, he was nuts.
- Yeah, he was.
I was cute.
You should have seen me before I let myself go.
Are you kidding me? I would kill to have your bone structure.
Mm, cancer gave me the cheekbones I always wanted.
You know, Nicole does hair and makeup.
She's really an artist in her own right.
- Is that so? - Yeah, come on.
Let me do you up.
I would be honored.
Guess a little blush wouldn't hurt.
Shit.
What? I hate to do this to you, Joshua, but do you happen by chance to have a drinking glass? Uh, how about this one? This? Yeah, my parents never really throw anything out.
Well, I'm okay with it if you are.
What do I care? When did you move back in? I was diagnosed about a week ago.
I moved back home the same day.
You were only diagnosed a week ago? That's rather fast to have arrived at this decision.
Yeah, well, when you're given three weeks to live, things kind of speed up.
Your records say bowel cancer.
Yeah, Joshua Yang, 21, died from bowel cancer; that's pretty pathetic.
Ah, well, technically you're gonna be dying from a lethal drug overdose.
Ah, I guess so.
[gagging.]
Josh, come on.
You know, a lot of people choose to do this outside, fresh air, nature, the whole returning to the earth.
What do you say we change locales? Boop.
You want to take a look? Oh, you are an artist.
You look beautiful.
I do, don't I? Well, is that time already? Only if you want it to be.
We're on your schedule.
I'm ready.
- You ladies join me for a drink? - Oh, of course.
I can't drink on the job.
[somber music.]
Cheers, honey.
Oh, here I go.
You two are so lucky to have one another.
We're here with you.
You made me love you I didn't want to do it I didn't want to do it You made me want you And all the time you knew it Yes, you always knew it Give me, give me, give me, give me, give me Give me what I cry for [somber music.]
Is she? Yeah.
Okay, we have to go now.
What? We're just gonna leave her here? Yes.
We can't just leave her.
Nicole, we have to go.
Now.
So you're sure you don't want your parents here with you? They're with their therapist right now.
Apparently this whole thing's been very hard on them.
So they don't know that you're doing this? Oh, they know.
They just don't agree.
It could be good for you to have people you know here with you when you take this journey.
Well, you're here.
But I don't know you.
Already told you, Joshua Yang, 21, dying from bowel cancer, a BA in Fine Arts.
I'm a virgin.
Virgin? What, a good-looking lad like you? How is that possible? Just never really happened for me.
I mean, I had my chance with Kailey Christinziano, but I messed it up, because I'm a total idiot, so now the joke's on me.
- No.
- What? What are you doing? - You're not ready, Josh.
- Wh yes, yes, I am.
I don't want your money, at least not for now.
Tell your parents.
Tell Kailey Christin-whatever- her-name-is that you like her.
No, it's too late.
Josh, I know this terrible diagnosis feels like it's the lowest of the low.
I get it, but there's still time for you to learn and grow.
Just go and live a little more.
Get laid, all right? Okay, what happens if I can't function anymore? Well, call me.
I'll happily kill you then.
Besides, when you tell Kailey that you're dying, oh, she'll be all over you.
You think? I know.
She's gone, that beautiful lady.
She was in a lot of pain.
Yeah, I know.
It's just Just happened so quickly.
Like, one minute she's alive, she's talking, and then nothing forever.
It's just - It's life.
- You're acting like we didn't just kill another human being.
Look at you, not a care in the world.
Of course I care, but Nicole, I'm a doctor.
You learn how to compartmentalize.
You have to.
This is not about you being a doctor.
Then what are we talking about? Mom.
- I knew you'd bring her up.
- This is obviously about her.
What I do is about helping people.
It's about them.
Did you compartmentalize your self-awareness? Mom has everything to do with this.
It's like you're justifying the way she died, just over and over again.
Hey, Sigmund, stop psychoanalyzing me.
All right, whatever you want to tell yourself, but I don't want to be your launderer or whatever.
I don't want anything to do with it.
- But Nicole, you were the - Aunt Nicole! - Mm.
- Hi.
Hey, little warrior.
How goes the battle? You know, it goes.
Mom, can Heather stay for dinner? Yeah, of course.
Oh, any allergies I should know about? Just gluten, dairy, avocados, and carrots.
I'm kidding.
I eat everything.
Oh.
[laughs.]
[doorbell rings.]
I'll get it.
You know I love you, right? And I love you.
And I get that you want to help people, but at the end of the day, like, who is helping you? - Is your mom home? - Mom, it's for you.
You got to be kidding me.
Get it out of here.
Just sign here.
I'm not signing anything.
I don't want it! I'll sign it.
Why does it say, "Tick-tock, Mary?" - What? - Ow.
I'm sorry, baby.
Who's Olivia? Just someone playing a little joke on me.
Just go.
It's not that funny.
You know what, Cambie? You're right.
[tense music.]
[machinery whirring.]
Hello? You must be Mary.
Randall, it's nice to meet you.
I want to see Olivia.
Follow me.
I promise you we're ahead of schedule.
There's nothing to worry about.
My next appointment just arrived.
I'll be in touch.
Mary, hi.
Found her wandering around downstairs.
I came to tell you to stop sending me appliances.
I'm happy with mine.
Randall, will you tell the boys downstairs to stop with all the noise? I can't hear myself think.
Pat, Justin, stop Randall, do I not have a voice? I can stand here and yell at people.
Okay.
Thank you so much for coming.
I'm not going to kill your husband.
All right, guys, take a break.
- Do you believe in karma? - Karma? You know, what goes around comes around? How our actions manifest themselves into reciprocal actions in the future? Consequences? - No, I don't believe in karma.
- I didn't think you would.
You're gonna kill my husband, Mary, and you're gonna do it tonight.
I already told you I'm not going to do that.
I'm not a killer.
But that's not what you told me.
In fact, you told me that you let my brother bleed out and die, so whether you believe it or not, you brought yourself to this moment.
Hey, why can't you just do it yourself? You're smarter than that, Mary.
Everyone knows the first person the police suspect is the spouse.
You'll be a suspect regardless.
Not when you make it look natural just like you do with all your patients.
I can make it look natural because my patients are already dying.
You really are a saint, Mary, helping people die with dignity.
[machinery whirring.]
It's like I'm talking to myself.
Randall? Randall? Did I not ask you to make them stop? Yeah, I did.
I'll tell them again.
No, you know what? Don't bother.
I actually like the sound of banging.
[gunshot.]
You were saying? You already have the gun.
It would be so easy for you to just kill him yourself.
But I want you to be my gun, Mary.
Where do I go? It's the alarm code to my house, 2009.
It's the year my daughter was born.
It goes by so fast.
How old's your youngest? She's around 12? Yeah.
We should have a playdate sometime.
[laughs.]
That's funny.
You're funny.
I like that.
Travis will be home by 7:00, drunk.
He'll pour himself one more rum and Coke and then pass out in front of the TV by 8:00.
Make it look like a heart attack, whatever it is you normally do, and I'll expect you back here around 9:30.
- What's your cat's name? - This is Casper the Second.
- The Second? - Yes.
- How does that work? - Uh, long story short, my mom's a liar.
Okay, long story long this time? Um, last year my mom told me and Cambie that she had to put our cat Casper down because he had cancer.
I am so sorry.
That's the worst.
No, don't be, because then this cat comes along who happens to look exactly like Casper the original.
- I don't get it.
- Yeah, neither did Cambie.
She thought that he was a totally different cat sent to us from the gods.
We named him Casper the Second, and, uh, yeah, but you never died, did you, Casper? Why would your mom lie about that? I don't know.
It's pathological, I think.
You really let people affect you, don't you? Well, yeah.
She's my mom, so she affects me.
- Same with Naomi.
- What do you mean? Is there something between you two? Yeah, there used to be, but it's it's over.
I've I've moved on.
To who? I like you, Jess.
Are you lying? I can't tell.
No, no.
[alarm beeps.]
[alarm beeps.]
[keypads beeping.]
[alarm beeps.]
Hello? [alarm beeps.]
Honey, I'm home.
You want a drink, man? Yeah, you know it, buddy.
[light music.]
Where it all began.
I'm far less original than I like to think I am.
No, no, you are definitely an original.
Look, I'm only here 'cause I'm hoping to talk some sense into you.
I didn't call you for sense.
I'll have a vodka martini, dirty, no olives, and the Aussie will have? Brit, I'm British.
I'll have a Shirley Temple, straight.
Don't go through with this.
Don't kill your husband.
Do you ever feel like you're a bad person? I do bad things sometimes, but am I a bad person? I I don't know.
I'd like to think not.
What about you? Your brother Grady, there's someone I bet was born bad.
If my parents were here, they would disagree with you.
He was their pride and joy.
[phone rings.]
Don't say a word.
- Hi, Puffin.
- Hi, Mommy.
I wanted to say good night.
Guess what.
Gran made breakfast for dinner.
- Lucky girl.
- But I miss you.
Will I see you tomorrow? - You sure will.
- Promise? I promise.
Okay, sweetie, Mommy's got to go now, but I love you, I love you, I love you, love you, love you.
- Mwah! - Bye.
- What? - You love your daughter, so maybe don't kill her father.
He's not her father, And he could already be dead for all I know.
What? I'm having my husband killed right now.
- Who? - Dr.
Mary Harris.
Don't you dare touch me! - What the I didn't - I am a married woman.
- What the hell? - Thanks for the alibi, Des.
It was good to have someone to talk to.
Wow, this is a nice place you got here, Travis.
Thank you.
Keep this party going.
Rum and Coke, yeah? I'm more more of a bourbon man, myself, if you've got it.
Great, more rum for me.
A bourbon man, eh? Eh.
- Now, that is a cute kid.
- Yeah, stepdaughter.
- Well, is she here? - Nah, her mother sent her to her grandma's for the weekend, thank bloody Christ.
The kid's a little shit.
Your wife's pretty hot though, if you don't mind me saying.
Eh, looks fade, I'm telling you, Matt.
Is shit that bad between you guys or what? Ah, the wife, it's work, but I got it under control.
Nice.
Cheers.
Where's the music, man? [upbeat music.]
- So what's the work? - Appliances, wholesale.
Appliances? Yeah, washing machines, stoves.
You need a new dishwasher? - Oh, no, no, no.
- I'll hook you up.
No, man, I'm I am good.
I am good.
Hey, would you mind if I, uh? Do I mind? Shit, you should have said something earlier.
Why, you got something harder? Yeah, man.
Put that hippie shit away.
All right, all right.
What you got? Oh, I got it all, the purest of pure straight from Colombia.
Colombia, huh? You got connections? No, I am the connection, brother.
Wait here.
I'll be right back.

Kill or be killed.
And I've been using your place as a safe house.
I hope that's okay.
I thought perhaps your partner going to prison may have given you pause.
People kept needing me.
We don't murder perfectly healthy individuals who happen to be a bit sad.
Buddy, no! Well, in Switzerland, a doctor would give a patient such as yourself a lethal dose of sodium pentobarbital, to drink.

I'm the woman who killed your brother.
A cop killed my brother.
A cop may have pulled the trigger, but I let Grady bleed out and die.
If you ever mess with me or Des again, I will kill you too.
Just a bad couple of days.
It's growing pains or something.
I just want to help people, Des, and when I do it alone, I can.
You'll feel a rush through your body, and then a warm feeling of peacefulness will take you slowly into sleep.

It could have been stunning.
That was always your dream, not mine.
Good luck, Des.
No, Dr.
Harris, good luck to you.
"Before you came along, I thought I'd be alone forever, but then you unleashed in me a love that could not sever.

I might not recover from this.
Extra large.
No, that's too much information.
Oh.
[bleep.]
, my mom's home.
I promised her I'd make a salad before she got here.
You do that.
How's that salad coming along? - I'm on it.
- I'm just asking.
I'm just answering.
Oh, perfect timing, Dinner's almost ready.
Kevin, Jess was supposed to do that.
- Well, what are fathers for? - Nobody seems to know.
Don't condone her behavior.
Let her make the salad.
- It's okay.
I'm happy to help.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
- What is this? Oh, yeah, some guys came bay and delivered it this morning.
I wasn't sure where you wanted it, so Why do we need a fridge with an app? Well, because we're living in the future, kid.
Well, they must have delivered it to the wrong house.
Is there a receipt or something? Yeah, it's right there on the counter.
Oh, no, no too much.
Not too much lemon.
All right.
Put this in.
It's just a mistake, that's all.
I'll call them tomorrow.
Perfect, perfect.
Sex tape? Threesome? Do you have any questions? Yeah, yeah, why a drink and not injections? 'Cause I researched it, right, and it's it's better.
It's a smoother exit.
Mm-hmm, young Joel brings up a valid point.
Well, I think doctors feel it's important for patients to choose their death.
Oh, okay, I get it.
I got to pull the trigger.
This is obviously a very serious decision.
Yeah, I know that.
[light music.]
Okay, picture this: cabins right here with that view.
There's one for each patient but with enough room for loved ones who want to stay as well.
Up here there's an old fishing lodge.
We can use it as a communal kitchen with an onsite chef.
We'll put picnic tables all along the water.
So how do you expect to get away with all of this? We register as a hospice.
That way when there's a dead body, no one will ask any questions.
It will all seem legit.
Ex-con running a hospice, sounds legit to me.
It'll be a little piece of heaven to transition you to the real thing, you know, if that's what you believe awaits you.
We'll encourage a culture where death doesn't have to be so scary, that we're all in this together.
Okay, I get it.
How much do you want from me? I need 50K for a deposit.
I know, I know, it seems like a lot of money, but not really when you think about what you'll be making in return.
I should be able to pay you back plus interest within a month of being up and running.
- What about Mary? - Mary who? You guys are serious about this breakup? Dead serious.
Well, without her, where are you gonna get the rest of the money? You're gonna start feeding me patients.
Am I? What's Mary paying you, 2 grand a pop? I'll give you three.
More money, more money.
Mary didn't say I have to be exclusive with her.
'Tis called the free market.
Okay.
Joshua Yang, nice kid, he was in the ICU a little while ago, stage four bowel cancer.
He's only 21.
A shame.
I'll take him.
I think this could be the start of something beautiful.
- Shall we christen the land? - Really? No.
The way I see it, you have a choice.
You can believe in nothing, or you can believe in something, and I choose something.
What about you? I was raised by atheists.
I'm a godless child.
You know, you don't have to believe what they believe.
What are you guys talking about? - God.
- Seriously? What, you're just walking around talking about God? It's thrilling, really.
Do you believe in anything, Naomi? Well, I believe in Prada, marrying rich, diamond divorcee, but who cares? We all end up as dust anyway, so - That's bleak.
- I'm a realist.
Can you not make any plans tonight? I have to tell you something.
Um, Heather and I already made plans.
Well, cancel them.
This isn't a joke, Jess.
There's something that I really need to show you, and it's kind of confidential, so - I - What? Naomi, me and Jess, we're hanging out tonight without you.
We'll hang out later, 'Kay? Oh, sure, whatever.
- Curls suit you.
- When I was five.
Keep it straight.
You know, you'd think since you were the one asking for my help that you would be extra nice to me right now.
Nicole, seriously, no curls.
Okay, so it's simple.
You're a cash business.
All you have to do is add in a few clients here and there, and no one will question it.
And what is a few to you? Oh, my God.
Have you lost your mind? How much is in here? 200 grand, give or take.
I've never made this kind of money.
You're expanding your business.
You can offer more services.
Oh, yeah? Like what, legal advice? I'm not talking literally, just on paper, and you don't have to do it all at once.
- Baby steps.
- Baby steps? What's in it for me? - I'll give you a cut.
- Obviously.
What else? What else, what else? I want to come with you on a death.
I just told you I broke up with Des, that I'm better off doing this on my own.
I know, I know, you're a lone wolf.
I heard you.
I just I'm just curious.
You know what curiosity did to the cat.
That cat was so stupid.
I'm being serious.
I think it would be too much for you.
I can handle it, Mary.
I've seen a dead person before.
Do you remember? [doorbell rings.]
Hi, Mary Harris? No, I don't want it.
I don't want it.
You take it back, and you take the fridge while you're at it.
I was told not to leave unless delivery was accepted.
I'm not accepting.
Is everything all right? Yeah, everything's great.
Okay, what's the verdict? Am I coming or not? Not.
- What's that? - Nothing.
Come on, Mary.
It's a simple quid pro quo.
I do something for you, you do something for me.
I don't think that's too much to ask.
Which one of us do you think is older? [laughter.]
You're not only beautiful, but you're smart too.
I'm not so sure about the beautiful part, but I'll take the smart.
You're stunning, Estelle, and she knew because I introduced you as my younger sister.
You two remind me of me and my sister.
She died a few years ago, but back in the day we were inseparable.
- I'm sorry.
- Uh.
Are you okay? Do you want to sit? Yeah.
- Is this where you want to be? - Yeah, it's perfect.
It's perfect.
Ready to sing my swan song? We played in a band together, my sister and I.
- Do you still sing? - Mm, it's not so much fun without an audience.
We loved it, different city every night.
Same man though.
Mm, that sounds like a story.
I don't kiss and tell.
Hell, yeah, I do.
[laughter.]
I was a cliché, falling in love with the guy who plays guitar.
He wanted to settle down, but I kept going.
He didn't follow.
- Well, he was nuts.
- Yeah, he was.
I was cute.
You should have seen me before I let myself go.
Are you kidding me? I would kill to have your bone structure.
Mm, cancer gave me the cheekbones I always wanted.
You know, Nicole does hair and makeup.
She's really an artist in her own right.
- Is that so? - Yeah, come on.
Let me do you up.
I would be honored.
Guess a little blush wouldn't hurt.
Shit.
What? I hate to do this to you, Joshua, but do you happen by chance to have a drinking glass? Uh, how about this one? This? Yeah, my parents never really throw anything out.
Well, I'm okay with it if you are.
What do I care? When did you move back in? I was diagnosed about a week ago.
I moved back home the same day.
You were only diagnosed a week ago? That's rather fast to have arrived at this decision.
Yeah, well, when you're given three weeks to live, things kind of speed up.
Your records say bowel cancer.
Yeah, Joshua Yang, 21, died from bowel cancer; that's pretty pathetic.
Ah, well, technically you're gonna be dying from a lethal drug overdose.
Ah, I guess so.
[gagging.]
Josh, come on.
You know, a lot of people choose to do this outside, fresh air, nature, the whole returning to the earth.
What do you say we change locales? Boop.
You want to take a look? Oh, you are an artist.
You look beautiful.
I do, don't I? Well, is that time already? Only if you want it to be.
We're on your schedule.
I'm ready.
- You ladies join me for a drink? - Oh, of course.
I can't drink on the job.
[somber music.]
Cheers, honey.
Oh, here I go.
You two are so lucky to have one another.
We're here with you.
You made me love you I didn't want to do it I didn't want to do it You made me want you And all the time you knew it Yes, you always knew it Give me, give me, give me, give me, give me Give me what I cry for [somber music.]
Is she? Yeah.
Okay, we have to go now.
What? We're just gonna leave her here? Yes.
We can't just leave her.
Nicole, we have to go.
Now.
So you're sure you don't want your parents here with you? They're with their therapist right now.
Apparently this whole thing's been very hard on them.
So they don't know that you're doing this? Oh, they know.
They just don't agree.
It could be good for you to have people you know here with you when you take this journey.
Well, you're here.
But I don't know you.
Already told you, Joshua Yang, 21, dying from bowel cancer, a BA in Fine Arts.
I'm a virgin.
Virgin? What, a good-looking lad like you? How is that possible? Just never really happened for me.
I mean, I had my chance with Kailey Christinziano, but I messed it up, because I'm a total idiot, so now the joke's on me.
- No.
- What? What are you doing? - You're not ready, Josh.
- Wh yes, yes, I am.
I don't want your money, at least not for now.
Tell your parents.
Tell Kailey Christin-whatever- her-name-is that you like her.
No, it's too late.
Josh, I know this terrible diagnosis feels like it's the lowest of the low.
I get it, but there's still time for you to learn and grow.
Just go and live a little more.
Get laid, all right? Okay, what happens if I can't function anymore? Well, call me.
I'll happily kill you then.
Besides, when you tell Kailey that you're dying, oh, she'll be all over you.
You think? I know.
She's gone, that beautiful lady.
She was in a lot of pain.
Yeah, I know.
It's just Just happened so quickly.
Like, one minute she's alive, she's talking, and then nothing forever.
It's just - It's life.
- You're acting like we didn't just kill another human being.
Look at you, not a care in the world.
Of course I care, but Nicole, I'm a doctor.
You learn how to compartmentalize.
You have to.
This is not about you being a doctor.
Then what are we talking about? Mom.
- I knew you'd bring her up.
- This is obviously about her.
What I do is about helping people.
It's about them.
Did you compartmentalize your self-awareness? Mom has everything to do with this.
It's like you're justifying the way she died, just over and over again.
Hey, Sigmund, stop psychoanalyzing me.
All right, whatever you want to tell yourself, but I don't want to be your launderer or whatever.
I don't want anything to do with it.
- But Nicole, you were the - Aunt Nicole! - Mm.
- Hi.
Hey, little warrior.
How goes the battle? You know, it goes.
Mom, can Heather stay for dinner? Yeah, of course.
Oh, any allergies I should know about? Just gluten, dairy, avocados, and carrots.
I'm kidding.
I eat everything.
Oh.
[laughs.]
[doorbell rings.]
I'll get it.
You know I love you, right? And I love you.
And I get that you want to help people, but at the end of the day, like, who is helping you? - Is your mom home? - Mom, it's for you.
You got to be kidding me.
Get it out of here.
Just sign here.
I'm not signing anything.
I don't want it! I'll sign it.
Why does it say, "Tick-tock, Mary?" - What? - Ow.
I'm sorry, baby.
Who's Olivia? Just someone playing a little joke on me.
Just go.
It's not that funny.
You know what, Cambie? You're right.
[tense music.]
[machinery whirring.]
Hello? You must be Mary.
Randall, it's nice to meet you.
I want to see Olivia.
Follow me.
I promise you we're ahead of schedule.
There's nothing to worry about.
My next appointment just arrived.
I'll be in touch.
Mary, hi.
Found her wandering around downstairs.
I came to tell you to stop sending me appliances.
I'm happy with mine.
Randall, will you tell the boys downstairs to stop with all the noise? I can't hear myself think.
Pat, Justin, stop Randall, do I not have a voice? I can stand here and yell at people.
Okay.
Thank you so much for coming.
I'm not going to kill your husband.
All right, guys, take a break.
- Do you believe in karma? - Karma? You know, what goes around comes around? How our actions manifest themselves into reciprocal actions in the future? Consequences? - No, I don't believe in karma.
- I didn't think you would.
You're gonna kill my husband, Mary, and you're gonna do it tonight.
I already told you I'm not going to do that.
I'm not a killer.
But that's not what you told me.
In fact, you told me that you let my brother bleed out and die, so whether you believe it or not, you brought yourself to this moment.
Hey, why can't you just do it yourself? You're smarter than that, Mary.
Everyone knows the first person the police suspect is the spouse.
You'll be a suspect regardless.
Not when you make it look natural just like you do with all your patients.
I can make it look natural because my patients are already dying.
You really are a saint, Mary, helping people die with dignity.
[machinery whirring.]
It's like I'm talking to myself.
Randall? Randall? Did I not ask you to make them stop? Yeah, I did.
I'll tell them again.
No, you know what? Don't bother.
I actually like the sound of banging.
[gunshot.]
You were saying? You already have the gun.
It would be so easy for you to just kill him yourself.
But I want you to be my gun, Mary.
Where do I go? It's the alarm code to my house, 2009.
It's the year my daughter was born.
It goes by so fast.
How old's your youngest? She's around 12? Yeah.
We should have a playdate sometime.
[laughs.]
That's funny.
You're funny.
I like that.
Travis will be home by 7:00, drunk.
He'll pour himself one more rum and Coke and then pass out in front of the TV by 8:00.
Make it look like a heart attack, whatever it is you normally do, and I'll expect you back here around 9:30.
- What's your cat's name? - This is Casper the Second.
- The Second? - Yes.
- How does that work? - Uh, long story short, my mom's a liar.
Okay, long story long this time? Um, last year my mom told me and Cambie that she had to put our cat Casper down because he had cancer.
I am so sorry.
That's the worst.
No, don't be, because then this cat comes along who happens to look exactly like Casper the original.
- I don't get it.
- Yeah, neither did Cambie.
She thought that he was a totally different cat sent to us from the gods.
We named him Casper the Second, and, uh, yeah, but you never died, did you, Casper? Why would your mom lie about that? I don't know.
It's pathological, I think.
You really let people affect you, don't you? Well, yeah.
She's my mom, so she affects me.
- Same with Naomi.
- What do you mean? Is there something between you two? Yeah, there used to be, but it's it's over.
I've I've moved on.
To who? I like you, Jess.
Are you lying? I can't tell.
No, no.
[alarm beeps.]
[alarm beeps.]
[keypads beeping.]
[alarm beeps.]
Hello? [alarm beeps.]
Honey, I'm home.
You want a drink, man? Yeah, you know it, buddy.
[light music.]
Where it all began.
I'm far less original than I like to think I am.
No, no, you are definitely an original.
Look, I'm only here 'cause I'm hoping to talk some sense into you.
I didn't call you for sense.
I'll have a vodka martini, dirty, no olives, and the Aussie will have? Brit, I'm British.
I'll have a Shirley Temple, straight.
Don't go through with this.
Don't kill your husband.
Do you ever feel like you're a bad person? I do bad things sometimes, but am I a bad person? I I don't know.
I'd like to think not.
What about you? Your brother Grady, there's someone I bet was born bad.
If my parents were here, they would disagree with you.
He was their pride and joy.
[phone rings.]
Don't say a word.
- Hi, Puffin.
- Hi, Mommy.
I wanted to say good night.
Guess what.
Gran made breakfast for dinner.
- Lucky girl.
- But I miss you.
Will I see you tomorrow? - You sure will.
- Promise? I promise.
Okay, sweetie, Mommy's got to go now, but I love you, I love you, I love you, love you, love you.
- Mwah! - Bye.
- What? - You love your daughter, so maybe don't kill her father.
He's not her father, And he could already be dead for all I know.
What? I'm having my husband killed right now.
- Who? - Dr.
Mary Harris.
Don't you dare touch me! - What the I didn't - I am a married woman.
- What the hell? - Thanks for the alibi, Des.
It was good to have someone to talk to.
Wow, this is a nice place you got here, Travis.
Thank you.
Keep this party going.
Rum and Coke, yeah? I'm more more of a bourbon man, myself, if you've got it.
Great, more rum for me.
A bourbon man, eh? Eh.
- Now, that is a cute kid.
- Yeah, stepdaughter.
- Well, is she here? - Nah, her mother sent her to her grandma's for the weekend, thank bloody Christ.
The kid's a little shit.
Your wife's pretty hot though, if you don't mind me saying.
Eh, looks fade, I'm telling you, Matt.
Is shit that bad between you guys or what? Ah, the wife, it's work, but I got it under control.
Nice.
Cheers.
Where's the music, man? [upbeat music.]
- So what's the work? - Appliances, wholesale.
Appliances? Yeah, washing machines, stoves.
You need a new dishwasher? - Oh, no, no, no.
- I'll hook you up.
No, man, I'm I am good.
I am good.
Hey, would you mind if I, uh? Do I mind? Shit, you should have said something earlier.
Why, you got something harder? Yeah, man.
Put that hippie shit away.
All right, all right.
What you got? Oh, I got it all, the purest of pure straight from Colombia.
Colombia, huh? You got connections? No, I am the connection, brother.
Wait here.
I'll be right back.
