Nip/Tuck s03e14 Episode Script

previously on nip/tuck julia's pregnant.
what? it's your baby,sean.
i know.
dear christian,being your wife would only strip me of my dignity and sense of self.
I never went to see you again.
Why are you making me do this? it's good,baby.
Don't stop.
whoa.
You've got a goddamn dick.
relax.
i don't like being screwed with,ok? tell us what you don't like about yourself,ms.
Peck.
may i start at the beginning? whatever makes you feel most comfortable.
about three months ago, i met a guy at this bar that i go to.
He really knew how to treat a girl heas real sweet.
We went back to my place for a nightcap and started fooling around and everything was going great until he realized i was a pre-op.
He threw me to the ground and he kicked me until my ribs broke.
And then he started punching me in the face and destroyed it.
And then when i got my face fixed did a licensed plastic surgeon do this to you? i'm pretty sure he had a license.
He was vietnamese,so i didn't understand him all that much.
But my friend told me about him.
He did her breasts,and they turned out ok.
And,you know,he was cheap,and i didn't have much money.
I guess i got what i paid for.
I spent every penny that i had to get my face repaired.
Insurance wouldn't cover anything.
They said that i brought this on myself.
And then i lost my bartending job because they said i was scaring off the customers.
we'll be happy to rebuild your face the way you want it,ms.
Peck.
We have a long-term payment plan that might be your best option.
there's only one option,dr.
Mcnamara.
You're going to do my operation for free.
Or i'm going straight to the police.
excuse me? that real sweet guy that beat me up,he's your son.
I'm sorry i can't be more ladylike about this.
you dare threaten us after what you did to matt? i just want retribution for what he did to me.
and beating him to a pulp before pissing on him wasn't enough? Call the police.
You can use my phone.
They already know someone jumped him.
Now i can tell them who to arrest.
excuse me,dr.
Troy.
A package just arrived for you.
well,sign for it.
the package is bleeding.
no return address.
we need to check the serial numbers on these and cross-check them with our records.
you think they belong to one of our patients? this one's got something in it.
beauty is a curse on the world you were right.
These did belong to one of our patients.
They're kimber's.
Proudly Presents Nip Tuck every breast implant has a serial number in case of a recall or defect.
habeas corpus,christian.
We can't start an investigation when there's no evidence of any crime.
since when is a bloody implant from a woman who's been missing for weeks not evidence of a crime? well,how'd you know kimber didn't have them removed herself? because she loved them.
They were the first thing i ever gave her.
Our first surgery together.
speaking of surgeries,what do you think of my face? The surgeon who did agree to do it,did a pretty good job,don't you think? don't throw that guilt shit at me,kit.
After what you put me through, you're lucky i wasn't standing over you with a scalpel.
if i knew you were still stinging after being left of the altar this proves that i wasn't left.
Somebody took her,and somebody's keeping her hostage.
And somebody forced her to write that note to me.
well,that sounds like a hell of an effort.
Who would do that? quentin.
Look,he's always had it in for me.
Only a plastic surgeon would know about serial numbers on implants.
You know something? we've been investigating quentin since your release.
that's great.
Then bring him in.
we don't have anything solid yet.
It's all just circumstantial.
it didn't stop you from arresting me.
yes,and since then my superiors have kept me on a tight leash.
They don't want any more embarrassments.
look,if there's even a slight chance that kimber's alive and quentin knows anything about it, you have to bring him in for questioning.
hey,matt.
What's going on? mom's sick.
She's been throwing up all over the place.
I thought you might have a stash of that tamiflu around here.
i have some at the office.
I can take it over in the morning.
How's your girlfriend? we broke up.
a friend of yours dropped by the office today.
Cherry peck.
what did she want? she wanted us to give her a facial reconstruction for free.
I told her i would call the police if i ever saw her again.
is her face still messed up from what happened? she had reconstructive surgery already.
All she could afford was some strip mall hack.
so she still a complete mess.
it doesn't matter.
She tried to blackmail us.
Her cheek implants are too large.
There's some scarring on her forehead.
She needs to reset her nose.
i want you to fix her face,dad.
If someone doesn't,then she'll always look like a monster because of me.
she and her friends jumped you,matt.
She is a monster.
look,i know i shouldn't expect much from you.
I haven't exactly been a model son lately.
But i made a mistake.
And you're the only one who can completely help me correct it.
It would mean a lot to me.
you look terrible.
Has the morning sickness been that bad? i haven't been able to keep anything down.
well,i brought you some b6 supplements,some crackers,ginger ale.
Try and stay away from anything spicy,rich,or fried.
Like french fries or chocolate or sorry.
Just drink lots of fluids.
That's going to help the most.
And rest.
There is an upside though.
Some doctors have seen a correlation between miscarriages and a lack of having morning sickness.
So,in that regard,your vomiting is good.
Why are you dressed? You're not going to work,are you? of course i am.
The spa is full.
And i have to take care of my patients.
well,you're just going to have to get someone to cover.
lots of women work while they're pregnant,sean.
I was still taking a full load of classes when i was carrying matt,remember? yes.
But you were 22,julia.
A baby born to a woman over 40 has at least one in a hundred chance of downs.
And the odds of developing any kind of chromosomal abnormalities are even worse.
Now,we won't have to worry about that once we get the results of the cvs which i've scheduled for thursday with dr.
Fitzer.
fitzer's not my o.
b.
if were going to make this work, you're going to have to let me help you,julia.
Do things for you.
That's why i think you should move back into the house.
i'm not moving back into the the house,sean.
I mean this baby isn't some puzzle piece that's been missing from our relationship.
I've never misled you into thinking we were going back to what we had,sean.
the last time i saw you,my tongue was in your mouth.
Certainly much more pleasant than this.
Am i under arrest for something? i wanted to have a little chat with you about kimber.
kimber? Well,last i heard,she dumped christian at the altar.
Smartest move she ever made if you ask me.
she's missing.
And i think you have something to do with it.
you're joking? I couldn't have spent a long weekend with that mental midget.
I like women whose iqs are higher than their waist size.
really? I thought you liked her.
Had a thing for her movies if i recall.
i'm familiar with her catalog,so? So are hundreds of thousands of other guys.
what about rhea reynolds? You and christian were the only ones who knew she was a what did you call her,a fraud? It must have felt good to put her through a surgery without proper anesthetic.
that was liz's fault.
Her numbers were off.
i know you don't have an alibi for the night that rhea was killed or for the night you raped and carved me.
now why would i rape you? You were perfectly willing to spread your legs like a romanian gymnast for me.
rape isn't about sex,quentin.
It's about power.
And you felt like you'd lost it after i arrested christian and risked giving him all the glory for your butchery.
so i'm the carver now? Kit,if you want to catch this guy, may i recommend that you expand the scope of your suspects beyond those who know whether you're shaved,waxed,or natural? you neglected to use a condom when you raped me.
Thanks to your sloppiness, we now have a sample of the carver's semen on file.
When i match it with your dna, you won't be smiling anymore.
i hope you collect my dna yourself,kit.
Oh,god.
I'm so turned on right now.
- where's kimber? - i have no idea.
I'd check your ass, but you're so full of shit i don't think there would be any room for her up there.
i've issued a warrant with judge nixon.
When he approves it,you'll be forced to give us a dna sample.
you want me to jerk off right now? i'm going to do this all by the book.
When i bring you down, this case is going to be tighter than a vestal virgin.
heh.
Well,tread lightly,kit.
You've already botched this case once.
Another false arrest and you'll be back in london writing tickets to people for not picking up their dog shit.
you need to get him to talk.
no,i don't.
Kimber's been found.
how is she? an fhp officer found her naked wandering along alligator alley.
For some reason,yesterday he drove her out into the everglades and tossed her out.
can i see her? not yet.
bullshit.
She's my fiancee.
she doesn't want to see you,christian.
She doesn't want you to see her.
tell me what he did to her.
the breast implants were the least of his butchery.
He reversed every surgery you gave her.
Without anesthetic.
reversed? I must've given her at least 10 procedures over the last few years.
Tell me what he did to her.
after giving her the carver grin, he removed the segment of rib cartilage you used to fix her nose.
Then he sucked the collagen from her lips by removing a large portion of the saturated tissue.
At some point,he also burned her skin to recreate the sun damage you repaired.
Then he pumped rotten chicken fat into her midsection.
Antl-lipo.
It caused a pretty horrible infection that he didn't treat.
He removed her breasts as a final act of psychotic brutality.
i need to see her.
I need to tell her i can fix everything that animal did to her.
kimber identified herself by how she looked,christian.
She's barely holding it together as it is.
Seeing you could send her over the edge.
or bring her back from it.
well,i can't risk that.
Kimber is the best witness we have right now.
If she transgresses into shock and can't give us any more information, everything's she's been through will have been in vain.
dr.
Mcnamara? I wanted to thank you for reconsidering.
I think it's the right decision for all of us.
i'm not doing this surgery as a response to your threat of extortion,ms.
Peck.
then why are you doing it? because my son asked me to.
Matt seemed to think we've all suffered enough for what's happened.
We need to rebuild instead of allowing our past to haunt us any longer.
Count backwards from 10.
don't worry,i'm here.
It's all going to be ok.
Relax,julia.
Close your eyes and just relax.
This might be your last chance to get pregnant.
stop it.
It hurts.
skin is very elastic.
It will heal.
You are like a 20-year-old,after all.
Aren't you? why is that ticking so loud? Turn it off.
you don't want to turn off your biological clock just yet,julia.
I'm coming.
I'm coming.
By the way,you need a face lift if you're going to do this.
Otherwise,everyone will think you're the grandmother.
We'll start by removing these bags under your eyes then we'll pull back your forehead.
Oh,forget it.
It's too late.
Your water broke.
no.
put this on.
You're late for surgery.
we can fix it.
No one will ever know what she's done.
what have you done to my baby? we had to do a little work,that's all.
he have to make him respectable,julia.
you did a wonderful job,julia.
He's almost human.
so irresponsible,having a baby at 40.
we did the best we could to repair your work,sweetheart.
what did you do to my baby? Hi.
It's i'm julia mcnamara.
I'd like to make an appointment with dr.
Allenby as soon as possible.
i'm sorry,christian.
I'm just sorry.
i should've known she wouldn't leave me like that.
Kimber loved me.
this isn't your fault.
And blaming yourself isn't going to do her any good.
i just want to see her,you know? hi.
I'm dr.
Sean mcnamara.
I'm a plastic surgeon.
I just wanna give you one of my cards.
what for? nothing.
I just thought you might want to have that wattle taken care of.
You have a great profile.
who's there? it's me,sweetheart.
The guard wouldn't let me in.
So sean had to bribe is there anything special i can bring you,sweetheart? go away.
please don't say that.
I've missed you so much.
why didn't you come looking for me? i thought you'd left me.
I thought you'd come to your senses.
you left me to die.
You let him do this to me.
kimber,please.
Don't blame me for this.
he wouldn't have hurt me if you hadn't given me all those surgeries.
You made me think that i needed them for you to love me.
It's true.
Beauty is a curse on the world.
please don't.
Please.
Please don't let him poison everything we have with each other.
I want us to start fresh.
I want to rebuild our lives together.
you won't want me anymore.
I'm a monster.
On our first date, you said that i was an 8.
you were honest with me.
I need you to tell me what i am now, as honestly as you did then.
From 1 to 10.
i'll make you a 10 again,sweetheart,i promise you.
I'll make you a 10 again.
i'm glad you decided to do a cvs test.
I'm a big believer and the sooner we know of any abnormalities, the sooner we can prepare ourselves on how to deal with them.
i don't like to be superstitious about these things, but,you know,with my age and 2 healthy kids, i just feel like this baby is tempting god a little.
that's why we're here,julia.
To remove the unknown.
And we're still in the first trimester.
We have time.
Now i'm going to do an ultrasound to help guide the catheter through your cervix.
You know,we can video the ultrasound if you like.
i'd like a video,if that's ok? let me grab a blank dvd.
I'll just be a second.
look,sean,i know i was hard on you the other day,but you do have a role in all of this, and i'm gonna respect that.
Thanks for coming.
this baby's gonna grow up and be strong and healthy,julia.
how are matt and annie? I haven't seen them in forever.
they're fine.
Matt's a senior and annie's gonna start middle school next year.
they're growing up too fast.
i know exactly what you mean.
I feel like i have missed jessica's entire childhood.
I mean,what with work and sharing custody take a breath we only see each other when i'm driving her to her father's house.
Another reason why it's so nice to see you two back together.
ok.
Everything's good so far.
Now you're gonna feel a little prick when i insert the needle.
Does that feel all right,julia? yeah.
oh,my god.
Oh,jeez.
- how are we doing,sweetheart? - i gotta get out of here.
I can't all these tools, it's taking me back to that place.
you're having a post-traumatic stress reaction.
It's normal for somebody who's suffered the kind of trauma you've been through.
Ok? You're gonna be fine.
I promise.
Can we get her 10 ccs of versed.
I'm gonna take good care of you from now on.
Now,are you sure you want to do all the surgeries at once? The recovery is gonna be much less traumatic if we do them one at a time.
no.
I need you to fix everything.
I don't want to wait to be who i was.
i'll be right here when you wake up,ok? ok.
Wait.
Wait,christian.
Will you stay here until i fall asleep? of course.
keep applying this for the next 2 weeks.
It'll help your skin heal faster.
i just want to tell you how much i appreciate this.
you want to see how it looks? i'm beautiful.
hi.
You look really good,cherry.
did your father do your face,too? Yeah.
you did a fantastic job,dr.
Mcnamara.
yeah,i did.
Well,i'll leave you two alone.
i don't think he finished putting that stuff on.
oh,here.
I got it.
You know,i just wanted to say that you know,i really wasn't did you really tell your father to do my surgery? yeah.
i'm sorry,too,matt,for what we did to you.
Although you did kind of deserve it.
yeah.
you really think i look good? yeah,you know? Sure.
i'm planning on having my reassignment surgery sometime next year.
Been taking all the hormones.
that's great,cherry, but i don't think that it's ok.
It's just hard not to hit on a guy as cute as you.
thank you.
look at me.
I'm gonna need some new makeup.
a girl's gotta look her best,you know? what? This gooey stuff isn't what you had in mind? - no.
- really? drop your pants,quentin.
you first.
the scope of judge nixon's warrant is very broad,per my request.
If you don't provide us with everything we need, i'll be happy to arrest you.
then arrest me.
You're not gonna find anything to connect me to those carvings.
I'm an innocent man.
i'll be the judge of that.
Now drop your pants.
You've nothing to be ashamed of.
I've had you inside me,remember? Right before you carved my face.
I rarely forget a dick, particularly if it's raping me.
if we had sex, you'd remember me.
prove it.
hey,baby.
How did it go? it went perfectly.
You were amazing.
Let me get you a mirror so you take a look at yourself.
no,no,no.
I don't want any mirrors.
i understand.
You want to wait until the healing process is further along.
uh-uh.
No.
I don't want any mirrors ever.
I had you fix me so the rest of the world could see me and not run screaming.
I'll never be able to look at myself and not see the pain.
don't say that,sweetheart.
We're gonna get through all of this together.
And as soon as you've healed,we'll reschedule the wedding.
wedding? What are you talking about? i'm talking about not letting this monster take everything away from us.
but he already took everything away from me.
I can't do this anymore,christian.
I can't be this beautiful couple that spends $600 a month on tanning salons, who takes an hour to get ready just to go to the gym, who measure people's worth by their body fat percentage.
this is perfectly normal.
It's called stockholm syndrome.
Kidnapping victims sympathize with their captors.
It's a survival strategy.
he wasn't my captor.
You were.
Porn was.
He was just the man holding up the mirror to our beautiful,superficial lives, showing me how grotesque they were.
It's just ugliness hidden by a perfect mask.
How am i supposed to be with you when your job is to give everybody those masks? I'll give it all up.
We can go off and take care of lepers for all i care.
I need to be with you,kimber.
i know,baby.
But i need to not be with you.
what do you think of this one? it's a little pale.
you're right.
I'm a spring,and this makes me look like a winter.
Maybe this one.
There's a little more red in it.
can i help you? yes,hi.
What's your opinion on this foundation? well,it's hypoallergenic.
But it won't look good if you apply it that thick,honey.
i'm recovering from surgery.
I don't want the scars to show through.
this isn't a drugstore.
This product is very expensive.
Were you actually planning on purchasing a bottle or just tainting all our samples.
what's your problem,lady? You treat all your customers like shit? he is not a customer until he buys something.
I get your kind in here all the time.
They never buy a damn thing.
and we're gonna buy something from you now? Look,my friend was nothing but polite to you, and you treat her like she's a hooker? Let me tell you something.
She's more of a lady than you will ever be.
you didn't have to do that.
hey,you don't deserve that bullshit.
but i'm used to it.
here.
Try this.
What is that? well,isn't this a beautiful sight? It must be ladies night.
Try the bronzer,sweetie.
You really need it.
they don't sell nazi paraphernalia and jackboots in this section,ariel.
Get lost.
and miss this hallmark moment? Not a chance.
so,tranny, isn't matt fantastic in bed? Do you squeal with pleasure when he goes down on you? Because,you know,i always knew that he really liked dick.
i'm not with matt.
He's my friend.
you know you really beautiful,Ariel i almost too sorry for you i'm not the one dating a dude and a skirt,matt which cleverance school hear about this you won't make it out of life I shouldn't asked you to come No,it's cool She is a whack job ,no body believe word she said anyway you steal stash stuff up there for special occasions or One of us really need to get shit-faced so we drinking to heartache,regret To our profession The only field medcine of dedicated to both fixing what is broken and rebuilding the unrepairable and To my new son or daughter Julia You shit me I didn't even know you guys were sleeping together It only takes one time We're not getting back together or anything like that we have committed to work together trying not to screw it up too bad this time although I supposed the child we have from her and my gene pool turned out pretty well.
You see,christian, no matter how shattered a relationship is, as long as there's love, there's always the hope of putting it back together.
hello,boys.
I was hoping to find kimber here.
she went and checked into de la mer.
So,have you arrested quentin yet? to the contrary.
We had to let him go.
We came across some new evidence that rules him out as a suspect.
what could counteract the mountain of evidence against him? take a look for yourselves.
holy shit.
Is this for real? completely.
As you see,quentin can't be the person that raped me or left a semen sample behind.
He has no penis.
