Mary Kills People (2017) s02e06 Episode Script

1 Do you know what's going on with Dr.
Dunn in the conference room? He's leading an investigation into Betty Lisko's death.
And then a warm feeling of peacefulness will take you slowly into sleep.
Why did you have to kill someone at the hospital? If they figure it out, I'll deal with it.
Are you opening up a spa? A hospice.
This is for those who've come to terms with their illness.
They can come here to die in peace.
[sighs.]
You can stop the chemo.
And you can say good-bye the way you want.
I would want it to be a party.
A performance.
I know I've taken you for granted recently.
And I'm sorry for that.
[cell phone rings.]
Hello? Is this Mary? I need to talk to Mary.
I'm sorry, baby.
I really I have to go.
[grunts.]
Okay, you need surgery.
You do it, all right? Anything you want is yours.
Just help me.
I know how to get Olivia.
Hey.
[KROY's "Stay".]
Stay Stay with me for a while Ooh.
[both laughing.]
These are for reality stars with perfect skin.
You need a more realistic flower.
I wouldn't go that far.
[laughs.]
Carnations? I don't know.
Mmm.
They're filler flowers.
You deserve better than that.
[laughs.]
Well, what about these? I heard Madonna hates hydrangeas.
Mmm, relax, Madge.
She's just jealous.
So they're a maybe.
Mm-hmm.
I really can't figure these out.
They're so aggressive.
Oh, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Okay.
You need to sit down? - Mm-hmm.
- Okay.
Let's do that.
[clears throat.]
And take it all when you pack - Just walk slowly.
- It's okay.
I got it.
[grunts.]
Here you go.
You okay? [sighs.]
Mm-hmm.
Marigolds.
They're the flower of the Day of the Dead.
Well, that's on point.
They're perfect.
It's okay, babe.
I'm only dying.
Leave Leave this poor girl alone Mary Kills People 02x06 Fatal Flaw Leave You are no longer my home ==sync, corrections by dcdah== We should get our stories straight.
You didn't do anything wrong.
Yeah, but I am a big believer in guilt by association.
The hospital like to blame nurses when things go wrong.
Here's what you say.
That you saw me in the ICU Which is true, right? Yeah.
And I'll tell them I was visiting a patient that was transferred.
Remember when I told you that I admired that maverick attitude of yours? I take it back.
If we stick to the story, we'll be fine.
Do you really think you can get away with this? [door opens.]
Ready for you, Dr.
Harris.
Take a seat.
So, we're looking into the death of Betty Lisko, who died here in the hospital.
I know.
So you may know that we believe someone assisted in her death.
You were in the ICU that night.
I was visiting a patient, yeah.
And did you go into Betty's room at all? No, I didn't.
Did you see anyone else enter or leave the room? No.
So you had no contact with her at all, then? Why are you doing this? Because we believe someone killed Betty Lisko.
After she tried to kill herself.
If you wanna get into a debate about assisted suicide I'd love to.
Let's have a reasonable discussion about death.
You start.
Okay, I will.
Death gives life meaning.
Let's agree on that.
Let's agree that life is precious because it ends.
From what I hear, Betty Lisko died like everybody else who ever lived ever.
But she chose to take her own life.
And now you wanna prosecute someone for helping her do what she wanted to do.
So what you're really saying is, this wasn't her choice to make.
- Mary, calm down.
- No, she wanted to die.
Betty wanted to die.
She tried her best to do it.
She suffered catastrophic injuries.
The rest of her life would have been a physiological and psychological nightmare.
You know, people used to die from accidents.
They used to die suddenly.
But now in this country, almost everyone dies hooked up to machines designed to prolong their lives when there's no life left to live.
That's the system you're upholding by conducting this stupid, pointless, narrow-minded investigation.
So just stop it.
I wanna find out who killed Betty Lisko so the hospital doesn't get sued.
[dramatic music.]
I don't belong here.
I'll send you my resignation by the end of the day.
[door opens, closes.]
- Did you - No.
I quit.
Oh, my God.
It was a long time coming.
You know where to find me.
Yeah, but I'm not dumb enough to go there.
So, is this good-bye? Hardly.
You and Des still owe me 50 grand.
[chuckles.]
With interest, I assume.
Yeah, you know it.
So get cracking.
Have you seen your mom at all? No.
Not since that night.
Been at my dad's.
Ignoring her calls.
You know, at the end of the day, people disappoint you and let you down, so Okay, Holden Caulfield.
You think I sound crazy? No.
Actually, it sounds like you're trying to get all the toxic people out of your life.
Exactly, yeah.
Except for Naomi.
You're still talking to her.
Shit, do I sound jealous? No, it's okay.
I'm sorry.
She just gets under my skin.
Yeah, because she's a lunatic.
[laughs.]
Hey.
It's hard with Naomi because I feel like if I wasn't her friend, she wouldn't have anybody, and [stammers.]
She's damaged or something.
My dad says she gets it from her mom.
Heather, you don't need to be jealous, okay? [bell rings.]
[cries.]
[groans.]
Are you trying to hurt me? Always better to rip it off fast.
Sure.
You're healing well.
Patio looks good, too.
I see you've mopped up all the blood.
All you need is some bleach and a friend.
Or an assortment of terrified employees.
You think I'm friendless? You're wrong.
Mary's my friend.
Oh, I'm joking.
I know you both hate me.
We wanna talk to you about your offer.
Mmm? What'd you have in mind? Pentobarbital.
You want drugs? We're looking to expand, and we have patients in need.
Pentobarbital is not the easiest drug to come by.
And, as you know, my suppliers are a little unnerved at the moment.
I was actually thinking about getting out of the business.
We've done a lot for you.
Saved a life.
Ended a life.
You can look at it as good karma.
Before you retire.
How much do you want? Enough that we don't have to ask again.
[sighs.]
Okay.
For you.
Thank you.
How many people are you planning to kill? As many as possible.
I'm gonna kill them by the bucket load.
With their consent.
Your compassion is inspiring.
[door closes.]
[laughs.]
Look at that.
I can smell the testosterone from here.
This is like a man cave in the forest.
Oh, you really like chopping wood, huh? - Des.
- Oh, I'm just remarking.
It's a stark contrast to Olivia's.
It's very elegant where she lives.
I know, I've been there.
You have a better view.
She has a pool, though.
And matching cups.
So, what'd she say? She said she can make it happen.
So, we wait for her to call, and when she says she has the pento, you arrest her.
Eh, not exactly.
What does that mean? [sighs.]
I need you to wear a wire.
- Let's go, Mary.
- Wait, wait.
You never said anything about that.
We need proof of exchange.
Then I can arrest her.
Come on.
- Listen just a minute.
- No.
No, he doesn't get to change the plans all willy nilly.
It'll be safe.
I'll be watching.
I'll be listening the whole time.
Fine, I'll go.
Wire me up.
I agreed to help.
I'm in this as much as her.
Look, no offense, Desmond, but last time you wore a wire, it didn't go so well.
All right? It has to be Mary.
Olivia trusts you.
[dramatic music.]
Okay, so, when all of this is over, the police will leave us alone, right? No more charges, no more investigation? Yeah.
Once we have the supplier, it'll all be over.
You're sure? You don't have to worry, okay? And neither does your friend here.
Mary, I'm in this with you.
You have my word.
Okay.
That was all very cloak and dagger.
You do love the drama, don't you? You're one to talk.
The way you were swinging your dick around back there.
I'm not gonna change your mind, am I? Do you have a better idea on how to deal with Olivia? Not off hand, no.
But give me a couple of hours and a white board Das, she won't leave us alone.
We killed someone for her.
My daughter won't talk to me anymore.
She's ruining our lives.
This is a mistake you've made before.
- What? - Trusting Ben.
I'd be inclined to say it's your fatal flaw.
More like his is trusting me.
He's a cop.
That's his fatal flaw.
[indistinct chatter.]
Hi, guys.
Oh, my God.
I have to show you this video that my friend sent me the other night.
Hey, what are you doing? Stop.
We were actually trying to work.
I don't know why I just love cat videos so much.
I just I don't know.
Something about them.
It just gets me.
You need to think about it.
Do you have any questions? Yeah, why a drink and not injections? 'Cause I researched it, right? And it's better to What is this? This is your mom's extracurricular activity.
Well, I think doctors feel it's important for patients to choose their death.
I get it.
I gotta pull the trigger.
She kills people.
Okay, so how does it work, uh, the dying part? I thought you should know.
It's pretty toxic.
Well, in Switzerland, a doctor would give a patient a lethal dose of What would God think of this? Wow, you just lost the one friend you had left.
Congratulations.
Okay, fine.
It's a good plan.
I'm sorry, were we in the middle of a conversation? No, but I have a few notes, okay? We're gonna register the hospice in my name, and you and Mary are gonna be my very silent partners.
So you're in.
And the name's gotta go.
Heavenly Bridge? Heavenly Bridge sounds like a bloody cult.
[laughs.]
Well, I could change the name.
Deep Six Lodge? Dirt Nap Farm? - What? - End Game House.
You'll find it.
What the hell? You pitched hard, I said yes, and now I'm feeling, like, a vague sense of disappointment here.
Do you know what Mary's doing today? She's wearing a wire and walking blindly into the lair of a murderous drug lord.
Lady.
Drug lady.
She's insane.
My partner is insane.
You are a little late to the party on that one.
[sighs.]
[laughs.]
Of course.
She's my fatal flaw.
Hello? Sorry we're a little late.
Who is that? It's our first clients.
Will you stay? Please? A lethal dose of sodium-pentobarbital to drink.
There is no no pain, no suffering.
You just fall asleep.
An option is to go to Switzerland and be what they call a death tourist.
Fly there, die there.
What are you watching? I mean, go to Switzerland just to die? A snuff film starring you.
This is obviously a very serious decision, so Is this real? Tell you the truth Yes.
Who are these people? The man with the British accent is Des.
He's my friend and my partner.
- In crime.
- Assisted suicide.
And the other man is a police officer.
- You killed a cop? - No.
Jess, no.
He wasn't dying.
He was working undercover.
So but does that mean you're going to jail now? No, baby, I'm not going to jail.
- Jess, I'm so sorry.
- No.
No, how am I supposed to explain this to people? Yeah, my mom, she kills people on the side.
That's just no big deal.
She just You don't have to lie for me, ever.
That's all you've done to me.
I didn't know how to explain it.
I didn't know what you'd think.
I was afraid.
[solemn music.]
I'm your mother.
I'm supposed to be a role model.
A good person.
Are you? A good person, I don't know.
I have no idea.
You know about my mother, right? How she died? You killed her.
I helped her.
I helped her because I loved her.
She was in so much pain, Jess.
And she wanted it to end.
[crying.]
All I know is that this is a It's a big part of who I am now.
I wish you'd just told me, though.
I wish I had, too.
Before I lost you.
Mom, you always told me to be open.
And honest.
If this is really who you are, then stop lying about it.
Okay? Okay.
Jess, I'm taking care of all of this.
[kisses.]
Okay.
Thank you.
I'm seeing mandalas.
Mandela? Right, I'm an admirer.
Big fan, but what do you mean? Uh, photos of the great man? He means mandalas, sacred diagrams of the cosmos.
Yes, exactly.
I'm not sure if we The death retreat has the capabilities for sacred diagrams at this point.
They're just fancy circles.
I see everyone holding hands.
Yes.
And I'll be lying right here on the stage.
We'll need more marigolds for the trees.
Check.
Stage? A literal stage? [gasps.]
The crowd can gather here.
If I may interject, how many people are we expecting at this event? Because this is more of a, uh, clandestine kind of place.
Desmond, stop killing the vibe.
The marigolds are gonna be gorgeous.
Your sister told me about the Day of the Dead festivities.
I am very inspired by the whole thing.
Yes, let's talk about makeup.
Those eerie, you know, crazy skeleton faces.
Is that too much? Maybe a subtler version.
We're gonna need to find a makeup artist.
Well, I'm I'm a makeup artist.
I would love to help you, if you would like.
Yes, I would love that.
Let's discuss.
[chuckles.]
I can even show you some pictures, references.
You show me whatever you want.
[River Tiber's "California".]
Is this where they always go? It's one of the places.
Just in case you get a pat down.
Will that happen? No.
I mean, I would love to, but now's not the time, you know? You're shaking.
Mary, it's gonna be fine.
All right, as soon as you get into that warehouse I ask for the drugs.
We make the exchange.
You come in.
Exactly.
Gonna need a safe word, too.
Just in case.
Safe word like like in S&M? Kind of.
Something unusual that you could slip into conversation.
Karma.
Karma? It tends to come up.
Karma it is.
So, if you think that she's made you, or you're in any danger, you say the word and I will be there.
Oh, I'm so nervous.
Did you get scared? Undercover? I liked it.
Being afraid? Being clear.
Mary, I get to do all this crazy shit, too, but at the end of the day I know that I'm gonna be safe.
I know which side of the line I'm on.
To find the center My boss.
You good to go? - Yeah.
- Yeah.
Yeah, we're good.
[ominous music.]
Hi, Mary.
Hi.
You'll be happy to know I've been feeling great all day.
The body's amazing, isn't it? Just wants to heal.
As your physician, I'm delighted.
So, is my stuff here? [chuckles.]
You're not really that naive, are you? Where are we going? Do you really care? My mother told me never to ride with strangers.
But I'm not a stranger, Mary.
You've been inside me.
Do you want it or not? I want it.
Then get in the car.
[engine turns over.]
What do you think? Safe house? Stash? Yeah, maybe, but it's not part of the plan.
This is Fordham.
Follow vehicles to our location.
Where are we going? The promised land.
You know what I was saying before about getting out of the business? It was just a moment of doubt.
I could never really leave all this behind.
We are who we are.
It's just so much more fun out here on the fringes, don't you think? I don't know, my life is pretty normal.
Sure it is.
I have to thank you.
For what? You freed me.
From death.
From Travis.
From my brother.
He must have loved you.
He was all about brunettes.
And the tiny ones.
Can we change the subject, please? Did he love you, Mary? I barely knew him.
You were exactly his type.
And not just physically.
You were mysterious, calculated, a true Machiavellian.
Are we going to your safe house or something? You'll see.
You know, I actually really admire the way you keep your hands all nice and clean.
Why do the dirty work when you can have someone else do it Oh, just stop it, please.
Oh, come on, Mary.
"Cop pulled the trigger, but I let Grady bleed out and die.
" That's what you said to me the first day we met.
I got you to be my gun with Travis, just like you got that cop to be yours.
You think that, but you're wrong.
Am I? What the hell is she talking about? I don't know.
You looked me in the eye and told me you killed my brother.
I did everything I could to save him.
Stop.
You know what makes me crazy? Just wanna sit up on my throne, but there is always some bitch gunning for me.
I do believe in karma.
What? You asked me before if I believed in karma.
I do.
That's it.
That's her safe word.
I didn't hear it.
Ben, what are you doing? [tires squealing.]
[tense music.]
What are we doing? Getting a car wash, dummy.
And I was being so good to you, getting all your pento.
They can't hear us? Not in here.
[static.]
What's our play? Shit.
I was gonna let you walk away.
You were never gonna let me walk away.
It was never gonna be enough.
So you go running to the cops.
You actually think they're gonna help you? [scoffs.]
It was that or kill you.
Why did you save me, Mary? - Because that's who I am.
- Bullshit.
Don't pretend to be an angel.
You did it so you could watch me suffer.
You wanna know why I saved your life? Because I didn't wanna turn into you.
You crossed that line a year ago when you killed my brother.
This was my way back.
There is no way back.
We're in this together now.
Now we can finally have that play date.
In jail.
On visiting day.
I'm not going to jail.
Then we better get our stories straight right now.
[buzzing.]
Get out of the car.
Put your hands in the air.
Stop.
Turn around.
Slowly.
Am I under arrest? My boss wants to ask Olivia a few questions first.
Particularly about you.
And what we heard over the wire.
You feeling okay about that? What are you doing? Just giving you a chance to tell your side of the story, Mary.
Mary's my friend, that's all.
- We have daughters close in age.
- Mm.
Do you get pentobarbital for all your friends? Pento-what? I don't know what you're talking about.
Right.
Okay, then let me ask you about your husband.
Your friend Mary told us that you wanted him dead.
[scoffs.]
I was kidding.
Women joke about killing Their husbands all the time.
It was just a misunderstanding.
I'm sorry.
Good, so what happened in the car wash? [scoffs.]
So, after all of this, you're gonna align yourself with her? I'm not aligned with anyone.
[scoffs.]
You know what? I'm done protecting you.
Yeah, I got that.
Guess it's karma.
What Olivia said about Grady, you let him bleed out and die, the second I heard it, I knew it was true.
'Cause that's who you really are, isn't it? Are we done? Lift up your skirt.
Yeah, we're done.
I know you killed Travis.
I'm gonna prove it.
Okay, just relax.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
[heavy breathing.]
So? Does the beat go on? [serene music.]
- It does.
- [chuckles.]
It does.
Your vitals are good, but don't exert yourself too much today.
Okay? Lean on us.
It's what we're here for.
Mm.
Before, when I thought about my death, Ithe best I could imagine was buying a one-way ticket to Switzerland.
I would die there alone.
But this Surrounded by everyone I love.
I'll be eternally grateful.
We're grateful to you, too, Brendan.
Me? Why? For inviting us to the party.
Mm-hmm.
What up, bitches? All right, Mr.
DeMille.
Are you ready for your close up? A woman after my own heart.
[laughs.]
I'm next.
And just so you know, gold is my color.
Oh.
I'm so glad you're here.
[sighs.]
Me, too.
You crazy kids still need a name for this place? Well, Des's last pitch was Home of the Grave, so, yeah.
'Cause I was thinking, uh Joy's.
That's perfect.
I think Mom would like it.
I'll be back in a minute.
I would die here.
We'll put you on the wait list.
[sighs.]
I thought we were done with the appliances.
It's your pento.
Enough for a lifetime.
I'm a woman of my word.
Thank you.
So you're gonna kill someone here? It's a closed event.
Loved ones only.
I can respect that.
You really should.
I meant what I said, Mary.
I admire you.
In the middle of all of this, you never lost control.
And you got everything you wanted.
Made me realize I'd been far too dependent on other people.
Which is why you should know I kept a box of pento for myself.
Why? So I don't have to call you every time I have a problem.
And we've still got a few problems.
I'll see you around, Mary.
[engine turns over.]
There you are.
I just needed a minute.
You look nervous.
Yeah, well, what we're about to do is a little more elaborate than usual.
It does seem [sighs.]
A bit terrifying.
In our own messy way, it feels kind of Inevitable.
Last I heard, our stage manager was calling a rehearsal.
Hollering, more like.
- Shall we? - I'll be right there.
[Moses Sumney's "Doomed".]
Hollow one With inverted tongue How do I look? Perfect.
Thank you.
Hi, friend.
Hi.
Hi.
When I expel Thank you.
From this mortal shell Will I die for living numb Am I vital If my heart is idle Am I doomed Am I vital If my heart is idle Are you okay? Am I doomed Yeah.
I feel you But nobody else Though you're someone I can't see Yet you say nothing Of the stoic suffering That stirs lukewarm in me If lovelessness Is godlessness Will you cast me to the wayside Well I feel the peeling Of half-painted ceilings Reveal the covering of a blank sky Am I vital If my heart is idle Am I doomed Cradle me So I can see If I'm doomed They say in the moment before you die you see your life, a spat of film strip, the bad and good, nightmares and dreams, unfolding before you.
Your first dog.
Your first cigarette.
Your first love.
A friend who became a stranger.
[dog whines.]
The tree you planted when you were five.
These moments come up and grab you.
Live and steady.
And then they let go.
Receding into the past.
Before parting ways, your body is weightless, hovering in place for what feels like an eternity.
This is so you have enough time to say good-bye.
But you don't realize it.
Because it's all of a moment.
A speck in time in which you exist.
And then not.
Just a moment.
Before it's all over.
