BARTENDER BOY CARL CHANCE CHRISTINA DENNIS DI DOCTOR_LECHECK GIRL HYNES JASON JOSEFA JUNKIE KIRSTEN LUCY LYNDSAY MANAGER NICOLE NURSE PARDO PATROLMAN PA_SPEAKER PEPPER RECEPTIONIST WINTER WOMAN CHANCE Previously on "Chance” CHANCE I'm trying to help my patients by removing whatever source of ongoing trauma is preventing them from experiencing the benefits of therapy. DI The next asshole up should be that gay-basher. CHANCE Wade Pardo. NICOLE Is it cool for me to act like that or only you? CHANCE You think you're doing something that has an outcome you can't live with? Again? DI How long do you think it's gonna take the cops to figure out you and your job are the common denominator between these guys. HYNES Hey. HYNES Woman found with her throat cut, a kid shot in the head breaking into a car registered to Ryan Winter. I'm gonna need you to get into Ryan Winter's head for me. JOSEFA You must get tired. CHANCE What? JOSEFA Talking about so much and nothing happens. Nothing changes. HYNES You know, there's something different about you, Doc. There's something in your eyes. DOCTOR LECHECK It's all right Mr. Winter. We got you. You lost conscienceness there for a little bit. You hit your head. But we're taking care of it. Easy now sir. Hey, do we know where radiology's at? Shit. Shit. A little help here, please. Four milligrams of Lorazepam, now! NURSE Okay. DOCTOR LECHECK We might need to restrain him. CHANCE Mr. Winter? Mr. Winter. Look at me. It's all right. You're safe here. No one's gonna hurt you. Just breathe slowly. In through your nose, count of four, out through the mouth. In through your nose, out through the mouth. Good. You've activated your parasympathetic nervous system counterbalances the 'fight or flight' Call it 'rest and digest'. Giving you a very light sedative. CHANCE It'll help keep you calm during your MRI. All right? WINTER This was how Stevie felt. How he really felt. Now I know. CHANCE Who's Stevie? NURSE Radiology has cleared the backup. They're ready for him now. CHANCE Yeah? DI Fucking Hynes is obsessed. Whole timeline on his wall about murder and where this Winter was when. CHANCE Wall? DI Wall in his apartment. CHANCE His apartment? How do you know this? You broke in? You broke in to his place? DI Definitely keep asking me that. Really productive. CHANCE God damn it. What'd you find? I mean, having a timeline on his wall that could just be him being a dedicated cop. DI Yeah, he is. He's very dedicated and organized. Also he was transferred from San Fran P.D. to Freemont P.D. after a mandated psych eval because he's half a whack job CHANCE What? When? DI About six months after he started fixating on Winter. PA SPEAKER Doctor Thompson to Cardiology. Doctor Thompson. DI Pretty early for you to be at work already, isn't it, Doc? CHANCE I was just leaving. We need to talk. I'll come to you. PARDO Fuck you, Doc. Move! Move! DI I say sit tight, fucking Hynes says jump- And you jump. What the fuck, Doc? CHANCE I mapped out Winter's routine from Hynes's file. The place where I chose to grab him is right in the middle of Bay Area Memorial's catchment area. My domain. That the fuck. DI You got lucky. CHANCE I didn't- I made a plan, and it worked. DI So, what happened to your face? CHANCE Wade Pardo. Showed up, cold cocked me outside the hospital. DI Guess he made a plan, and his plan worked. CHANCE He was wearing a jumpsuit with Tyerman's Oil Change and Glass on the back. DI He's wearing this when he hits you? Awesome. He hasn't gotten any smarter. Where are you going? CHANCE Well you know, the car's been running a little rough. Thought I might take it for an oil change. DI Better idea is you take a couple of deep breaths while I get you some fucking water. CHANCE You know what, D? I'm not thirsty. DI Well, what the fuck are you then, Doc. Because you're something. CHANCE Okay, forget Wade Pardo. This Winter guy, is doing what Hynes says he is, he's gonna keep going. He's gotta be stopped. We have to stop him. DI Here's the deal. I don't get a hammer on this cop pretty fucking soon, I'm going back to plan A. CHANCE Which is? DI Stab him in the eye. Or stab you in the eye. And honestly? I could get the drop on you way fucking easier. NICOLE Okay. There. "Download complete". CHANCE So, what do I do if I want to start this up? Do I press the, uh. NICOLE God. You are so Amish. Just go to the app, hit the arrow. Magic. CHANCE Why do you make me feel like a chimp fishing for termites with a stick? When I was kid we didn't have all this stuff you have an unfair advantage. NICOLE I know, dad. When you were growing up this was all orange groves. CHANCE Orange groves, woolly mammoths trapped in primordial ooze. You look extra pretty today. NICOLE Well so do you. CHANCE This is why you should not read and walk at the same time. NICOLE No, but driving and lying's okay. CHANCE I'll try to be more careful. NICOLE Let me know how that goes. Love you. LYNDSAY Do I need to do something? I can - WINTER Like what? What would you do? LYNDSAY You can't stay here, for one thing. I mean. WINTER It's fine for now, Lyndsay. I will let you know when it isn't. LYNDSAY You doctor's here. I'll check back in with you later. CHANCE Mr. Winter. Much improved since last we spoke. Eldon Chance. Neuropsychiatry. We met briefly in the ER. WINTER You were the one who stopped them from restraining me. CHANCE That's right. You seem to be well oriented, laying down new memories. That's a good sign. WINTER So it's just this, then? CHANCE That and your current emotional state. You were attacked by a stranger. Targeted, for whatever reason. You could have been hurt a lot worse. Wear a choke like that for longer than forty seconds and you wouldn't be here. You'd be at the county morgue. So when you think about that, how do you feel? Do you feel anxious? Vulnerable? Depressed? WINTER Um Yes, yes and yes. Plus, pissed off. CHANCE Rage. Absolutely. If you can indulge me for a moment. I have some pictures I'd like to show you. Tell me what you see. WINTER Bad art. What's it supposed to be? CHANCE It's called a projection test. Gives me some sense of how you're feeling about the world. One of us in this room is brilliant and the other is just thorough. I know who you are, I know what you've done with your life. I just want to make sure we're doing everything we can to see that your brain is okay. What do you see. WINTER She looks spooked. He looks perverted. And this tells you what, exactly? CHANCE It goes to state of mind. What kinds of stories you might be telling yourself in the wake of an attack versus, say, a month from now. WINTER So, I'll have to do this again, you're saying. CHANCE It's a possibility. WINTER The radiologist last night said something about a Victims of Violent Crime Unit at this hospital. She said that because of what happened to me I would automatically be entitled to treatment there therapy, counseling, whatever. Is this part of that? CHANCE Uh, no. I'm actually on the staff there, but, no, this is different. WINTER But I don't have to do it. Do I? It's not mandatory. CHANCE It's absolutely not mandatory. WINTER Nobody's gonna make me do it. CHANCE No. WINTER But you work there, huh. Wow. What attracts you to victims of violent crime? CHANCE Helping them. Giving them back their power. WINTER That's amazing. One of us in this room is a very good man. CHANCE How about this. WINTER Well, he's got it coming. CHANCE In what way. WINTER Well, look at him sitting there, head down. He's guilty of something. Nobody has to take him to the woodshed. He's waiting there all ready. CHANCE Waiting to be punished then. WINTER You asked what I thought. You have to stop showing me this shit. CHANCE I don't disagree. Something about the black and white, maybe- WINTER No. Something about what they fucking are. Don't show me pictures of lonely, pathetic people. What's wrong with you? You said you want to give people their power back. Right? Well, do you actually know what it feels like to lose it? Much less have it taken by some asshole coward in the fucking dark. I think I need to lie down for a while. Please excuse me. CHANCE Sure. I'll, uh, check back. CHANCE Patient exhibited agitation, particularly in response to card number three. Collective reaction was one of increasing irritability, bordering on anger. Followed by a refusal to continue. Could be the result of being attacked from behind. Or, feelings of aggression aroused by the sight of a vulnerable woman. LUCY Hi, I'm coming in. I have the, uh, files that you asked for. CHANCE Just put them down there. LUCY What happened there? Did you get into a fight? CHANCE Yep. LUCY Well. All right then. These aren't your patients. Are their cases transferring to you? CHANCE Not yet. LUCY Sounds suspicious. CHANCE Yeah. I just got interested in the MCMIs. I wanted to see if our patients' psych profiles showed a shift after going through our program. LUCY Oh, man. I haven't seen these since college. CHANCE Yeah. I just tried those out on a patient. LUCY Is the patient an evil old-timey serial killer clown? They're just, you know, really old school for psychological profiling, aren't they? CHANCE You know what else is old school? Awesome things that work. CHANCE Excuse me, have you seen the patient that was in this room? Ryan Winter. RECEPTIONIST No, sorry. BOY And we're done. Crisis averted. WOMAN You should go. I can call a nurse if I need help. BOY And have them beat our best bathroom time? CHANCE Excuse me. What are you doing? Come on. Let's get you back to your own room. BOY Is he supposed to be here? What's he doing? CHANCE Nothing. Everything's fine. Excuse us. You all right? You look like you might be feeling light-headed. WINTER I wanted to hear them. I mean, really hear them. It made me feel kind of like you. CHANCE In what way. WINTER Seeing who a person is and they don't know you're even looking. They don't know they should hide. Or how. CHANCE That's eavesdropping. That's not what I do. Also I get consent. WINTER Do you, though? If someone has no idea what you're going to find inside them... How can they really consent? CHANCE They can't, exactly. Not in the way that you mean. But they want to know what's in there. And they have to trust me. And they can trust me. You could too. WINTER I think I'm going to leave. CHANCE Leave? WINTER The hospital. I'd like to be discharged. If that's not up to you, maybe you could talk to the person it is up to. Please. PEPPER They didn't know for sure but. NICOLE Wait, are you kidding me? PEPPER He secretly did and then I ran home. NICOLE You ran home? Did you really? CHRISTINA Wow, we're driving a party bus now. What's going on? NICOLE Nothing. Do we have any KFC left? PEPPER Uh, "nothing?" Jason Spencer is not nothing. NICOLE Okay. No, no. We're going inside. Stop. Come on. PEPPER No, I need to talk about this. Jason Spencer, listen to this, Jason Spencer the hottest boy of the entire Junior class is totally hitting on your daughter and she's being a total freak about it. NICOLE Oh my God, he's my lab partner. PEPPER Oh, my God. So? It's not like you're cousins! Look. NICOLE No, no, no stop! PEPPER Look, it's cute though, right? CHRISTINA Aww. PEPPER Yeah, there we go. CHANCE I saw him. This morning when I dropped you off at school he was waiting for you. PEPPER Cute couple, right? And she is totally leading him on. NICOLE No, I'm not. PEPPER Yes, you are. Oh, and not to mention the fact that half the girls are jealous of her because of it. Huge way to make an entrance to a new school, girl. CHRISTINA He looks sweet. Maybe, you should have him over. Maybe for dinner? CHANCE Yeah yeah. The four of us could Have dinner. NICOLE The things I hate in order right now are you, you and you. PEPPER Cool. I'm gonna go upstairs and find that romper you're lending me. NICOLE I know what you're thinking. CHRISTINA We're not thinking anything. CHANCE No, we're not. It's nice you've found someone you like. NICOLE You're worried. CHRISTINA No. We're not. We're not. NICOLE It's okay, I get it. But this is not that. It's different. I'm all right. Nothing's weird, or like before. I'm not leading him on, I'm not making an entrance, I'm not doing anything. I'm just, figuring it out. Like everybody else does. Okay? CHRISTINA That sounds like a plan. NICOLE Everybody cool then? CHANCE So cool. CHRISTINA What happened to your face? CHANCE I, um, there was a. CHRISTINA You know what? I for one am totally excited about this. I'm encouraged by it. You know, she's not rushing into anything. I-I-I think she's learning from her mistakes. CHANCE It's life. She can't hide from life. JUNKIE That looks like bomb-ass scat. DI Fuck off, buddy. For real. JUNKIE Come on, help a brother out. DI That help? Shit. HYNES I can't I can't really hear you. It's pretty windy where you are. You're what? Are you-Are you sure? Yeah, but that kind of ring's pretty common though. No, no, no, I'm fine. I'm fine. Where exactly in the Headlands? No, I won't. I promise I prom- Look, Sid, thank you. Thank you. CHANCE Hey. KIRSTEN Yes, as a matter of fact that is Ryan Winter. CHANCE I see that. How'd that happen? KIRSTEN He was here waiting when I got in this morning. Seemed pretty enthusiastic, so I figured you wouldn't mind if I did the intake. CHANCE Of course not. Just, surprised. When he left he never said anything about taking advantage of services. KIRSTEN Yeah, I would have figured someone with his resources, would go private. But his main point of contact here was you. And he's a pretty smart guy, if hadn't noticed. So I'm sure he realizes, he can spend the money, but it won't get him a better doctor. CHANCE That is a really nice thing to say. KIRSTEN I'm a really nice person. Cool bruise. CHANCE Went with the shirt. KIRSTEN Anyway. Good luck. Winter could buy this whole hospital with pocket change but. Don't let that intimidate you. CARL Ah, D, that gold leaf has come in. You can finish this French Empire piece, now. DI In the morning. Right now I need your help. CARL Are you in trouble? DI That remains to be seen. I'm doing a recon for the Doc. Tracking Hynes. I need you to do a little sneak and peek. CARL You want me to spy on Detective Hynes? DI Yup. He's been holed up in a bar for over an hour. CARL Why can't you do it? DI The place is small. I'd stand out. This op is all ready on the verge of compromise. CARL Is it possible that Detective Hynes could recognize me from that accident and those Romanians? DI That's phantom shit. You're clean. DI But if you're worried, put on your best battle rattle. If anyone can make shit look different it's you. CARL Okay. DENNIS I'm trying to move on like she'd want, Millie took care of everything. I don't even know the PIN for our debit card. Customer came in the other day. And I was counting back his change and suddenly I couldn't even tell the difference between the quarters and the dimes. I could see them, but I couldn't I couldn't. CHANCE Dennis. What you're experiencing is very common. It's a version of Complex PTSD. You think because you're not actively recalling the robbery, that you're not re-experiencing the emotions you had when it happened.but you are. You think you're just counting a customer's change.but you're doing it in the store that you built with your wife. The store that was robbed, where you were shot and almost died and your wife did die. Those associations are more than powerful enough to make you forget the difference between a dimes and quarters. Go easy on yourself. And eventually, I promise you, dimes will be dimes and quarters will be quarters again. Josefa, how's it going? Wanna give us a progress report? JOSEFA He caught me wearing makeup. My husband, Ronny I always take it off after work but, this time, I didn't. Maybe I wanted him to see? Maybe it was my way of standing up to him, I don't know. Anyway he dragged me into the bathroom and threw me in the tub. My head bounced off the tile. He ran the shower as hot as it would go, then he took a Brillo pad to scrape the makeup off. Funny thing is I had to use makeup on Monday for work. To cover it up. WINTER Why don't you leave him? CHANCE No, Ryan, In group therapy when someone has the floor, we don't interrupt- JOSEFA No. I want to answer him. I've got kids. Okay? I stay for them. I live with it for them. Cause I know if I stay.he won't kill me. WINTER I envy you. At least you know who to be scared of. I just would think there's, um, some comfort, in knowing. I never saw mine. Or even heard him, my attacker. One minute I was walking and then everything went black. CHANCE Okay. Uh, okay, Alex, you wanna? WINTER When I was a kid a baby bird fell out of its nest, onto the sidewalk in front of our house. So I took it and put it in a shoebox. And gave it water through a eye dropper, and fed it little bits of bread... But it just seemed, determined, to die. My mother said I was delaying the inevitable. So she took it and drowned it in a bucket of water. WINTER I remember it looked very peaceful after she, um. But we're all baby birds here, in a way. Aren't we? Fallen out of our nests, lying on the sidewalk. Not knowing who's coming, or if they're gonna feed us or drown us. It's terrifying. It is. It's-It's terrifying. CARL Vodka tonic with a twist, please. BARTENDER You've got it. BARTENDER Here you go. CARL Thank you. Brooks Brothers. Your blazer. Brooks Brothers. HYNES So what? CARL Quality product. Sensible, versatile. A good cover. HYNES A good cover? For what? CARL For the cheap slacks and shirt. Seriously, the jacket is a piece of clothing that's worthy scrutiny. No one will look past that to what's underneath as long the jacket makes a good impression. You splurged on a classic because you're sensible. And smart. HYNES You sound like an expert. CARL Actually, I am. I'm a pattern maker for a garment manufacturer. HYNES So you know your shit. Here's to you. I hope your company values your work. CARL I've been there forty years. It's not the perfect situation but I appreciate their loyalty. HYNES Loyalty. Something from a bygone era. CARL I don't find much of it myself, these days. I don't mean to pry but is something troubling you? HYNES No. I'm fine. It's just I just lost someone.meant something to me. CARL I'm sorry. It's always difficult. Can I get you another drink? HYNES Sure. Why not? CARL Can I have another round, please? HYNES You know. You have one of those faces. CARL What kind of faces? HYNES The kind that's vaguely familiar. CARL Brother. No one has ever accused me of being vaguely anything. To your friend. DI Then he just took off groceries in the cart, middle of the fucking aisle. I had to run to catch him. Bat out of hell, out to the Headlands. All the way to a crime scene. I couldn't get close enough to see much but I could tell they were digging something up. Someone. My first thought maybe that's is how the fucker gets off. Kills people, goes back to the crime scene to jack off. DI But then he starts crying and he bails, so I follow him to a bar. That's when I call Carl, 'cause it was his type of place. CHANCE What do you mean? A gay bar? Hynes is gay? CARL Deeply closeted, but yes. It was all very sad. He lost someone very dear to him. CHANCE Travis. CARL He didn't mention a name, not to me, but I could feel his loss. His pain was palapable. DI Who the fuck is Travis? CHANCE The confidential informant of Hynes's. Some street kid. He got shot in the head trying to break into a car that belonged to Winter. Got himself out of the hospital, then disappeared. Until now, apparently. DI For fuck's sake. So Hynes has a boner for a street kid who dies and now he wants payback? CARL D, this is not about a 'boner.' The man's a human being with a broken heart and you know better. CHANCE Speaking of 'boners', Winter got one in group therapy while one of my patients was describing in excruciating detail of physical abuse her husband had inflicted on her. DI I know twenty scumbags get hard for ugly shit like that. You want my advice? Drop it and find something we can hold over Hynes 'cause I'm this close to going back to Plan A. CHANCE Plan A's gotta wait. I have domain specificity here, D. That's your term. I've got Winter right where I want him. He's on my turf, my rules. Chinks in the man's armor are starting to show. I can feel it. There's more to come. I gotta go through with this, D. We have to keep going through with this, no matter what you say. How close am I to getting punched in the face right now. Wanna go punch Wade Pardo instead.? The 47 percent spike in car break-ins city-wide is probably why Tyerman's Oil and Glass stays open til midnight these days. I called. Wade's on the late shift. What do you say? CHANCE When Wade Pardo attacked him, my patient, Sam, had been to a restaurant in North Beach for dinner with his boyfriend. They'd been together ten months, but this was the first time they'd ever held hands in public. For Wade Pardo to- DI You need some glass replaced. MANAGER You the guy just called? CHANCE I am. MANAGER I only got one guy on shift tonight but I can probably take care of you myself, depending on what we're talking about. CHANCE That's great. That's uh. MANAGER Just let me check my stock. I'll be right back. CHANCE All right. MANAGER I got that replacement in stock. You wanna give me an hour? CHANCE Uh, you know what? It's getting kind of late. Maybe I can last another day. MANAGER All right. I'm here tomorrow. CHANCE Okay. NICOLE So are you guys going too? GIRL Yes! NICOLE Hey. So it sounds pretty fun. Friday night. The musical at USF? JASON Yeah.um, I'm not, um I'm probably not going to be going after all? NICOLE Oh. JASON A few of us might do this other thing instead. So I don't know. NICOLE Sure. That's cool. Is everything okay? JASON Yeah, um, you know shit came up. NICOLE Yeah, no, I get it. You're-you're just acting weird. JASON I don't know if it's gonna work. NICOLE What isn't? JASON I gotta go. PEPPER Hey. NICOLE Jason just totally flaked on me over nothing. I mean it's not a big deal, I barely talked to him. PEPPER Yeah, um, I don't know if it's exactly about nothing. NICOLE What the fuck does that mean? PEPPER People have been talking. Like, Jason and them. Something they heard about that happened at your old school? Look, whatever it is. It's out there, so. HYNES So, you're saying you came up behind him and choked him out. Where'd you learn a ninja move like that? I mean, it's fucking crazy to even picture it, but I like it. You know, you're a special onion, Doc. CHANCE Speaking of crazy, you lied to me. HYNES About what? CHANCE The fact that you were transferred from S.F.P.D. to Fremont. And why. HYNES How the fuck do you know that? CHANCE Winter didn't orchestrate it. It was a mental health issue. You had a breakdown. HYNES That's none of your business. CHANCE Yeah, see it kind of is my business because you lied to me. You lied to me to force me into this. HYNES Well, too bad. You get your hands dirty, you give people leverage and they work you. So I worked you. CHANCE You blackmailed me. HYNES Well, if blackmailing turns you on, then let's call it that. Okay? But here's the truth. The truth is the job won't let me take down this sick murdering fuck down the aboveboard way, so I'm doing what needs to be done. What's this shit? CHANCE Our entire conversation is now on the cloud. Don't ask me how. HYNES You're recording this? Okay. CHANCE So, you've got a hammer over me. Now I have one over you, mutually assured destruction. HYNES Well congratulations, Doc. But you've gotta be prepared to use it. And I don't think you will. CHANCE You lied about something else. HYNES Really? CHANCE Travis. You were in love with him. HYNES You watch your fucking step, Doc. CHANCE Okay, okay. HYNES And don't fuck with me. CHANCE Listen, I don't care. I don't care about your personal life. The fact that you're heartbroken And that's effecting your judgment about Winter. That matters to me. And I don't want to even want to think about attacking an innocent person. HYNES He's not innocent, shit. CHANCE All right. If you keep pushing I'm going to take away the one thing that you have that you still care about. Your job. No matter what the blowback is on me. HYNES You don't know what you're doing. CHANCE I know exactly what I'm doing. I'm leaving. CHANCE Josefa didn't show. Did she call? LUCY Nope. CHANCE Can you call her? Remember, if the husband answers, or you leave a message, you're the, um. LUCY Calling from Dr. Diamond's gynecological practice about a missed appointment. I remember everything about everything. CHANCE No doubt. LUCY Her voicemail's full. What are you doing? CHANCE Maybe I'll go by there. I'm gonna go over there. Can you write down her address? WINTER Hey. I was just coming to see you. CHANCE I've only got a minute. If we're talking, we should talk about whether group therapy is really the right step for you. WINTER Those cards you showed me, the, um, picture interpretation technique? I discovered that they have kind of a.kind of a darker purpose than you implied. CHANCE Does that upset you? WINTER It does. And it doesn't. You said you wanted a sense of how I see the world and what you were really trying to do is get in my unconscious. Pretty much exactly what you scolded me for. Peering into my psyche without consent. CHANCE My domain, my hospital, on the clock. I don't need your permission for that. WINTER Right. You need my trust. You need my trust. And I want to give it to you. I think it's possible I could be understood here. CHANCE What about you is hard for people to understand? WINTER The questions I've always wanted to ask, I can imagine asking you. I very much want to continue with the group. But I'm hoping there's room in your schedule for one-on-one therapy, as well. WOMAN WINTER So, you'll let me know. About your schedule. CHANCE Who's Stevie? When they brought you in, before they took you down for the scan. You said the name, Stevie. WINTER Buckle up, Doctor. I think we're going on an adventure. PATROLMAN Sorry, sir, You can't be here. CHANCE I'm looking for Josefa Pefaur. I'm her psychiatrist. We had an appointment. She didn't show. Is she inside? Is she all right? PATROLMAN I need you to go back downstairs, sir. Right now.
