Dead to Me (2019) s03e02 Episode Script
We Need to Talk
Jude, I I have to tell you something.
Um
And I shouldn't have to be
the bearer of this because
Blech! It's, um
It's hard.
But I love you so much,
and whatever happens we
are in this together, okay?
But there are shadows in your scans
that they found.
And and, you know,
it's probably nothing.
But you probably have cancer!
And you're gonna fucking die!
What?
- Nothing!
- Were you talking to me?
- 'Cause I didn't hear.
- Nope!
- Do you need me?
- No! Jesus, Judy, no!
Judy, how are you chin-deep
in cupcakes already?
We just got home.
It's still Charlie's birthday.
It's the least I can do.
You know your least
is better than my best.
Thanks.
It's vanilla chocolate
chip with a caramel ganache.
Why wouldn't it be?
Hey, Jude, um, can
you sit down for a sec?
I-I just need to talk to you.
Yeah, of course. I know,
we have to talk about it.
- Which part?
- That's Steve's been found.
Oh Yeah, right.
I mean, is it terrifying? Yeah.
Have I been having low-grade
diarrhea about it? Sure I have.
- You have?
- Yeah. It's nervous poops.
But I have to tell you,
I've been thinking about it,
and it might not be the worst thing.
No, that's true.
When we were at the hospital,
kept having this feeling like
another shoe was gonna drop.
Though I never understood why
it's a shoe or why it's dropping.
Maybe that's a regional thing.
Anyway, I was afraid you were the shoe.
Wait. Me? How how am I the shoe?
Because of your injuries.
- And you were the only shoe that I had.
- Okay.
But then when Ben told me about
Steve, I was like, "Ooh, there it is."
So Steve's the shoe?
Right.
- I know you're worried. Rightly so.
- Mm-hmm.
Natural response. But
maybe this is a good thing.
How could it be good?
Because we don't have to worry
about the Steve shoe dropping,
which was a lot of stress to
keep inside. It's not healthy.
You're right. It's not.
And now Ben and his family
can finally get closure.
That's true.
So, the way I see it,
it's really kind of a
relief more than anything.
Um,
Jude, I
Yeah.
I need to
have wine. Do you want some wine?
- Yeah, of course.
- And another pain pill.
- Yeah. Should I get some weed?
- Yes.
Let's grab all the numbing agents.
Why does this not
Just
- Jen!
- What?
Hey, what's up?
Oh, hi. Here's the birthday boy.
Did you kill Steve Wood?
What?
I read the letters that you wrote us.
Um, honey, I
All right. I can explain.
Explain what?
You torched Steve's car
because you were afraid the cops
were gonna find out you had it?
- What? No.
- Stop fucking lying!
You wrote us fucking goodbye letters!
- Honey.
- And really?
You were gonna leave us
with this fucking weasel?
After what happened with Dad?
You told him?
Did I?
Oh, my God.
Charlie.
I am so sorry.
I was gonna tell you
one day. I just, I
- I didn't mean
- You didn't mean to what?
Destroy our family?
I hope fucking my dad was worth it.
- What?
- What?
And I don't know if
you're protecting her
or getting bac
