CHANCE Winter admitted that his coping mechanism is killing. CHANCE He never actually said a number. He did name one though. Catherine. HYNES We have this friend Frank at the DA's office who doesn't completely hate him yet. I can ask him. LAMBERT Catherine Atkins. HYNES I'd like to know how she died and also, whether there were rocks in her throat. DI The first guy you picked, the drug dealer. CHANCE Spangler. DI Put his mom in the ICU, yeah. I told you that is not the type of guy who's going to be persuaded. KIRSTEN I found Wade Pardo. He was working in Daly City, at a garage - and then somebody showed up and threw him a beatdown. CHANCE Same thing happened to Matty Willis. Those who live by the sword, die by the sword. HYNES Don't you ever wonder? Why I would throw away a 30 year career and let my life go to shit over your boss? Come meet me right now and I'll tell you what you don't know. PEPPER Oh! CHRISTINA Pepper's parents are pressing charges. We'll figure this out. CHANCE There's a path here, Ryan. A path to becoming whole. WINTER What do I do? CHANCE Just walk into a police station. LAMBERT Ryan Winter. He was asking for somebody to come out to his house. He just said that he needed to talk to somebody. About the things that he's done. You deserve to be there, man. HYNES Where's Frank? WINTER He's right there. HYNES STEVIE YOUNG LAMBERT STEVIE Frank, no, don't YOUNG LAMBERT Probably should've thought about “Frank No Don't” before this, huh? Like before you started yapping your mouth about how that bike's not mine. I can't just go taking people's shit - like you're the fucking policeman of the world. STEVIE Stop it! Stop! YOUNG LAMBERT Hey, Matthew. YOUNG WINTER What'd he do? YOUNG LAMBERT Saw me take Chris Anton's bike. Said he was gonna tell the cops. And now he's for sure going to tell them. Aren't you, Stevie? STEVIE Stop it. Help! Please, anybody. Please help me. Anybody please. Please help me. Ah. Oh. YOUNG WINTER LAMBERT I was in bed but I wasn't asleep. Ryan. WINTER I was- I was in bed but I wasn't asleep. LAMBERT I, uh, I heard something out in the hallway. Footsteps. WINTER I heard footsteps in the hall. LAMBERT Not Lyndsay's. I know what hers sound like. So. I got worried. I got up. I went out there. WINTER I knew it wasn't Lyndsay. So I got my gun. LAMBERT No. Hey. Don't skate over this, buddy. 'Kay? Please. Please take this seriously. Now, we are so close to being done with this guy. And he just made it so easy for us. The only person who can fuck this up right now is you. HOME SECURITY Garage door open. LYNDSAY LYNDSAY Ryan, uh, I've been driving around for hours. Um. We need to talk. About things I, some things I, some things that I, we have to- WINTER I'm so sorry. Hey hey. I'm so sorry. LYNDSAY Ryan. Did you hurt. Is someone there? Who is that? WINTER LAMBERT This doesn't hurt us. We just need to rethink it. We need to rethink it, nail it down, call it in. But we can't wait too long. So. Here's what happened your faithful assistant, she tried to defend you, and Hynes killed her. You ran to her, and uh, y-you thought, you know, maybe there was time, so her blood, her blood on you makes sense. Okay. Go back to the beginning. Let's go. WINTER I was in bed but I wasn't asleep. I heard something in the hall. Lyndsay's voice. She was shouting something. Then it just.cut off. LAMBERT Good. WINTER I got scared, I got up, and I went out there. LAMBERT Again. GIRLS KYM Hey. I'm Kym. NICOLE Nicole. KYM Why're you here, Nicole? What'd you do? NICOLE Broke a girl's nose at school. KYM Why? NICOLE Just mean girl shit. A girl I thought was my friend did something to me. Spread rumors about me. KYM So you broke her nose? Cool. How? NICOLE With a book. KYM You hit her with a book? Shit. A big book? NICOLE Yup. KYM Well there aren't any books here, Nicole. So you won't be pulling any more stupid shit like that. NICOLE Probably not. KYM Definitely not. Say it. GIRLS KYM Say it. NICOLE GIRLS KYM GIRLS DI What? CARL You tell me. DI Tell you what. CARL There's something's going on. DI Something like what? CARL You want me to come over there? You just keep it the fuck up. You hurry out of here with the bags hanging off you cause your daddy found you. Now you're back here like nothing even ever happened. You're gonna tell me. Did you kill him? Is he dead? You know I don't care if he is. DI He's not. CARL W-Why not? DI Because we talked and came to an agreement. He leaves me alone forever he stays alive. CARL Oh. And you trust him to honor that? Should I conclude from that... there's been a shift in your view of the world? DI I wouldn't. LORENA Something happened. At the house. Something fucking bad happened at Winter's house. CHRISTINA Every time I feel like I know where I am with things, I'm wrong. One thing I know for sure is that I fucked up, somewhere. Obviously I fucked Nicole up. Before I even realized that fucking her up was a thing, I'd probably already done it. Really? Because being here, for this, isn't enough to shut it off? CHANCE I'm sorry. You didn't fuck her up. CHRISTINA Yeah, right. We did. CHANCE No, we didn't. I did. CHRISTINA Hmm. What does that mean? CHANCE She gets it from me. Everything she's done in the last year. Everything that's happened. I, uh, I passed it to her. It's filtered through her. CHRISTINA Right. Because you stalk people. You're a stalker, and. CHANCE Yeah, I am. I did. I was not much older than Nicole is now. It was a patient. An ER patient. CHRISTINA Stop it. CHANCE At Mass General. I was a resident and we dated. CHRISTINA Come on. CHANCE And when she broke up with me I stalked her. CHRISTINA CHANCE I was arrested. CHRISTINA CHANCE I was hospitalized. And I attempted suicide. It's not a joke. CHRISTINA You're telling me this now and.Have you told Nicole? CHANCE Yeah. CHRISTINA When? And she knows and I didn't? Did you even think of telling me first? Did you even think of telling me when met? When we were dating? When I maybe would have wanted to say, for my decision making process? CHANCE I was-I was afraid of how you would react. I didn't wanna drive you away. CHRISTINA Ya think? CHANCE I know this is a lot to take in. But this is, this is fixable. We can fix this. DONNA Hi, guys. Sorry. Come on in. DONNA Uh, so there has been a new twist. The prosecution's now asking for six months to a year in juvenile detention. CHRISTINA What? CHANCE A year? Wha- CHRISTINA No. CHANCE What about the-the mitigating factors. The social media stuff. DONNA Yeah, I said that. Um. There was an incident in holding with Nicole last night. CHRISTINA Oh my God! CHANCE What the hell happened? NICOLE It's okay. I'm okay. CHANCE So she gets beaten up in jail and it's a strike against her? DONNA Taken together with the assault charge, this looks like it speaks to a pattern of behavior. So, they're offering an open plea deal. CHRISTINA What does that mean? CHANCE It means she pleads guilty. DONNA Then the state will forget the fight in detention, take in consideration all your recent volunteer work, and hand your case directly to a judge. CHRISTINA Is that a good thing? DONNA She'd seem to be cooperating. It also makes it easier for the prosecution. Takes the case out of their busy hands. NICOLE I wanna take it. The deal. I wanna do it. CHANCE Nic- NICOLE Please. BAILIFF All rise for the honorable Judge Ronald Stavian. DONNA Come. JUDGE STAVIAN Please be seated. I understand the prosecution has offered an open plea deal. How does the defendant feel about that? DONNA The defendant, uh, has decided to accept it. Your Honor. JUDGE STAVIAN Great. Back for a sentencing hearing in two days. DI Lorena got to work and there were cops all over Winter's place. Plus a coroner's van. She saw 'em wheeling out two body bags. CHANCE And she doesn't know who was in them. DI She didn't think it was the best idea to start asking cops a lot of questions. Being illegal and all. CHANCE Where is she now? DI I sent her home. Told her to sit tight. Said I'd call if we found out anything. CHANCE Jesus. I'll call Hynes. See if he knows anything. DI Somebody better know something. MANS VOICE Hey. Who's this? CHANCE Eldon. A friend of Kevin's. Is he there? MANS VOICE This your cell you're calling from, Eldon? CHANCE Yeah. MANS VOICE How well do you know Kevin? CHANCE Well enough to know that he's a homicide detective, recently retired, and would not let anyone use his phone. MANS VOICE When was the last time you talked to him? CHANCE I, uh, I Yesterday. Is he okay? MANS VOICE This is Detective Solis, Eldon. SFPD. And I have some bad news for you. CHRISTINA I feel like we don't eat as well as we should. NICOLE Maybe. CHRISTINA I don't know. Feels like if we put good stuff in, uh, we feel better. NICOLE No, for sure. If I ate more organic food, no way I would've assaulted Pepper. CHRISTINA Honey. NICOLE Can we just not analyze me right now? CHRISTINA I think you need to give me a bit of a break. All right? I, uh, a mother never wants to feel the way I feel. Which is helpless. I, I don't know what to do. NICOLE Well. you've always been helpless. CHRISTINA You know this isn't actually about me. You did something awful. NICOLE No, what I did was dumb. But I stood up for myself. When have you ever stood up for yourself? CHRISTINA Hey. That's not fair. NICOLE Life isn't fair. CHRISTINA Yeah. DAVENY Over the past several years, Detective Hynes has waged a consistent campaign of harassment and stalking. My client made multiple official complaints against him. One just recently which resulted in Hynes being asked to leave the job. LT RESNICK I talked to Hynes's supervisor in Fremont. She confirmed that. LAMBERT Yeah. DA's office was also informed of that complaint at the time of Hynes's 'retirement. DAVENY Hynes underwent a mandated psychological evaluation three years ago off this issue. So I hope the SFPD has a good explanation as to why he wasn't let go then. LAMBERT Look, there's not a whole lot to debate here. Um. I spoke to my boss, and given what we've been discussing, she's not particularly inclined to bring charges against Mr. Winter. LT RESNICK And we're going to take our lead from them, so. DAVENY Glad to hear it. Now, if you could keep the press out of this, maybe my client can see his way clear to forgetting how mishandled all this was pretty much from the jump. LAMBERT Absolutely. DAVENY Let's go, Ryan. LT RESNICK We'll need your house for another 24 hours, Mr. Winter. If you don't have somewhere else to spend the night we can try to- DAVENY You don't have to worry about any of that. But thank you. LAMBERT I just wanna say, Mr. Winter, how sorry I am for all of this. WINTER What? LAMBERT Hey pal. Told you we'd be okay. Didn't I tell you? WINTER Yes you told me. LAMBERT Well now I'm going to tell you something else, pal. No more talking to Dr. Chance. You hear me? I said don't do it, and you did it anyway. And maybe it was fun for you while it lasted, but that is over. Do you hear me? WINTER I hear you. AUDIENCE LAMBERT Surprise. Uh, guys, can I steal him for a minute? Thank you guys so much. Come on. Hey! WINTER Frank? LAMBERT Yeah. You recognize? WINTER What are you, what are you- LAMBERT Come here! Bring it in. My god! It's been so long. WINTER Hey, did you watch that whole thing? LAMBERT Yeah! I did. I can't even program my own fucking remote and look at you. You're-you're like a wizard. Seriously, Matty, this is impressive. Oh. Sorry. I know-I know it's not, uh, not Matty Debbs anymore. It's, uh, Ryan Winter, right? WINTER How did you find me? LAMBERT I-I work for the DA's office here, believe it or not. And also, you haven't changed as much as you think. WINTER Hey, come here. LAMBERT Yeah. WINTER Come here. Come here. LAMBERT Absolutely. WINTER Um. LAMBERT Heh. What? WINTER Okay then why? Why did you find me? Do you want some money? LAMBERT No, no, come on, Matty, please. Don't insult me. WINTER I'm not trying to insult you. I'm just wondering what you're doing here- LAMBERT No. I just came to tell you something. Something that, uh, a couple detectives, they came into my office a few days ago and told me. It's about a woman. She was, uh, found dead up near Stinson. All right. Mother of three. Her throat was slashed wide open. And somebody had crammed a bunch of rocks down inside. Yeah. Now, I know it's sentimental probably. The rocks. And, and I get it. But. It's too specific, you know? It's too idiosyncratic. And it is too easy to identify. You understand? So, you can't use them anymore. Okay? Not unless getting caught is what you want. But if it's not, then you and I should talk. KIRSTEN Thank you, Mr. Spangler. For coming in. SPANGLER I'll be honest. It was, uh, pretty weird to hear from you. KIRSTEN Why? Because your mother was my patient? SPANGLER Yeah. I just hope you know there's been a lot of fucking water under the bridge since then. After what happened to me I got clean, I found clarity. I'm not that guy anymore, who could do that to her. KIRSTEN I'm glad, Mr. Spangler. That's what I wanted to talk to you about. The attack. You filed a police report. SPANGLER Sure. But they didn't do anything. KIRSTEN What did the man look like? SPANGLER Big. 6 foot, 300 and change. Bald, tattoo behind one ear. Beastmaster of a guy. KIRSTEN Had you ever seen him before? SPANGLER No. I thought he was gonna rob me. But then he starts talking about my mother. How I beat the shit out of her, to make her sign her house over to me. How did he even know about her is my first thought. But then I got too busy trying to defend myself. I deserved what he gave me, I know that now. I don't want to thank him, or anything but I do think about things a lot. WINTER Dr. Chance. I called. Lucy said you were expected in by 11. CHANCE What's going on, Ryan? You look very upset. WINTER Um. What we had talked about, what I was going to, um, I won't be able to now. To-to turn myself in. For what I.I'm really sorry. CHANCE Why? What happened? WINTER That cop, the detective Hynes. He, um, he broke into my house. Lyndsay tried to stop him. I was in bed but I wasn't asleep. I heard something out in the hall. She tried to defend me, and he he killed her. Hynes killed her. And then he attacked me. Came over to me. I didn't know what to do, I tried to fight him off so I shot him. CHANCE Why are you here? Why are you here? WINTER What do you mean? CHANCE What are you doing here? WINTER What do you mean? I just want to talk to you. CHANCE You shot him? WINTER I had to. CHANCE You shot him? WINTER He came after me. You don't understand what happened. CHANCE The last time we talked, you were ready to confess .You said you were going to. WINTER You seem very. CHANCE You were going to leave. You were gonna set your life in order. And then you come here and tell me this? WINTER You seem- CHANCE What happened between then and now? WINTER You seem very angry. Please don't be angry with me. Please- CHANCE I am angry because you're lying to me. WINTER I'm not lying to you. CHANCE Don't lie to me! What was Hynes doing at your house? Huh? What was he doing there? WINTER You said I could be whole but how can that happen now? I can't get there. Look what I did. I killed a cop! He's one of them. They're gonna make me burn, you don't understand- CHANCE Bullshit! You liar! WINTER PEOPLE WINTER I wanted to more than anything. Not for me. For you. You're the one I trust. But I can't. I just can't. I can't! CHANCE DI How bad did you hurt him? CHANCE Not bad enough. DI You think he'll tell the cops? CHANCE If I had to bet I'd say no. It's kinda strange, he actually, he apologized to me. And I think he meant it. DI Did he fucking apologize for killing Hynes? + CHANCE No. He no. DI He will. And then he'll be done. CHANCE Look. Hynes wanted everyone to know what Winter does. What he did. And he wanted Winter to be alive to tell them. We owe it to Hynes to do it the way he wanted. If we can. DI So then what? What the fuck are we doing? Tell me we're doing something. CHANCE Yeah, we are. We will. I have an idea. A hail mary pass. In the meantime, I need you to do something for me. You know the girl that Nicole hit? She pressed charges. Nic could go to juvenile detention for a year. If that happens, it's gonna happen tomorrow. DI That's not good. Wish I could help. CHANCE Yeah, well, you can. DI Remember location is more important than force when it comes to strikes. An open hand to your opponent's ear can be just as effective as a left hook to the jaw if you're trying to disrupt their equilibrium. You. Good. Every girl in the zoo is gonna be sizing you up. Trying to figure out where you fit in the pecking order. Like what happened to you in holding, but worse. You have to project confidence. Perception is reality and perception is formed right off the bat. You have to figure out who to impress, and who to knock off. NICOLE How? DI By paying attention. Who are people afraid of? Who's the enforcer? Who's sitting together at meals? And if you're ever in doubt about if somebody wants to hurt you, hurt them first. NICOLE So you've been in jail before? DI No. Arrested a couple times, but it never went that far. NICOLE Then how do you know all this? DI Because the rules in there are the same as they are on the street. But with higher walls. NICOLE I'm scared. DI That's okay. You should be. Just don't admit it. NICOLE I'll be right back. Just need to blow my nose. LORENA Hola, esto es Lorena. Deja un mensaje. MONICA Are you sure he really doesn't mind strangers in his house? LAMBERT Well, I'm sure that he's out of town, and so...it don't matter. Hey, here's the thing. He's fine with it. MONICA Okay, well, I can't stay too much later though. Because if I get back late, my sitter seriously gouges me, so. LAMBERT Back to the babysitter. Okay. Let's go. MONICA How did you, or where did you guys meet anyway, you're, uh, you're rich friend? LAMBERT Uh, well believe it or not, we knew each other as kids. And he wasn't always rich. He's just like me. Come on in. LAMBERT Here we are. MONICA Thank you. Oh. What's uh what, is something on the floor? Whoa. All right, I'm not into whatever this is! Let me go! Help! Don't! Help! LAMBERT Put her down. Cover her. Come on. CHANCE He met Josefa in group therapy at the Unit. I showed this picture to the detective investigating Josefa's death. Uh, McClendon. He told me that if Winter had no prior record of violent acts, he never threatened Josefa or anyone else, the police couldn't act on the information I was giving them. When he killed her, he posed her body to mimic this picture I had shown him as part of a psychological evaluation. LAMBERT Oh. I mean I see what you're talking about, but uh, fortunately it's the same for me. You know? You say he confessed to you, but you legally can't give me any specifics. And the truth is, without specifics, I'm-I'm basically hamstrung. I don't know what to tell ya. I feel bad. You go out on a limb, and the detective smacks you down, and here I'm smacking you down. But, uh, I don't know. I'm really sorry. So, can I ask you, is this how you and Kevin met? He was sniffing around on this Josefa Pefaur case because of Winter? CHANCE Uh, no. We, uh, we met last year. He was investigating a case, it was unrelated. LAMBERT Hm. CHANCE A psychiatrist was murdered in Berkeley, and he, uh, he wanted to know if I knew them. I didn't. LAMBERT I see. And then he reached out to you again when he found out that Winter was under your care at the hospital? Is that it? CHANCE More or less. LAMBERT This fucking guy. He was like a dog with a bone with this shit. CHANCE Yeah, but he was right. I thought he was crazy to begin with, but when I saw Josefa, I knew he was right. Way before Winter confessed to me. LAMBERT Yeah. It was hard not to believe in Kevin. And I tried. And he made it pretty hard to be his friend without getting yourself in deep shit with the powers that be. But, uh, he was a really good man. CHANCE Do you believe that Winter killed him in self-defense? LAMBERT Do I believe it? No. Can I explain to myself what happened any another way? No. CHANCE He said that, uh, he'd asked you to look into a couple of things. LAMBERT Yeah, he uh, he came by my office the other day and he was rambling. You know, he wanted me to check up on this for him, and-and make a call about that. But, what did I tell him? I told him, yeah, I would, but then I just bum rushed him out the door. I don't know, maybe if I'd made more time for him then, he'd still be here today. CHANCE Did he ask you about Winter's assistant? LAMBERT Lyndsay, right? Lyndsay? Yeah, he asked if, uh, God, he asked if she had a criminal record when she lived in Connecticut. What was that about? Did he ever tell you? CHANCE He thought that she might be Winter's accomplice. LAMBERT Really? Huh. Well, he never said anything about that to me. Did, uh, Winter say anything about it when he confessed to you? CHANCE No. LAMBERT Hm. What do you think? Do you think he do you think he had an accomplice? CHANCE I don't know. LAMBERT Listen, I've, uh, got a deposition, and uh, I gotta go. So, Doc, I want to thank you for coming out. It's, uh, it's nice to know that Kevin had somebody else in his corner. And I'm not closing the case on this or him. Not until I'm satisfied. CHANCE Me neither. LAMBERT Okay. Well, let's keep the lines of communication open. Either of us hears something, we'll let the other one know, okay? CHANCE All right. LAMBERT Great. Thank you for coming in. WINTER Hello? LAMBERT Yeah. We need to meet buddy. Right fucking now. MATILDA Lillie Coit, who the tower is named after, was an eccentric socialite. She smoked cigars, wore trousers, gambled. In a lot of ways she was like my first husband. LAMBERT You know, I'd say there's half a chance he's who choked you out, not Hynes. So that he could put you under his fucking therapeutic mind control. You know, I blame myself. I do. For thinking that you heard me. For not stepping in. For not realizing how fucking convenient it is that get jumped, you end up in the hospital, with a guy who suddenly makes you fucking wonder why you do things! It's so goddamn obvious. You know your Doctor Chance and Hynes, they were were friends, okay? Hynes told Chance everything he knew about you, and Chance told Hynes everything that you told him. Everything. You see, they were working together to bring you down. Don't you get that? WINTER That's why he was so angry with me. Why he beat me up. Because Hynes was his friend. LAMBERT What? That's what you're fucking thinking about right now? Jesus. WINTER I'm thinking about how stupid I was, about w-what he did, what he said, what he promised me. LAMBERT Shh. WINTER Trust, betraying trust. About all of it. LAMBERT Hey, there was no betray of trust, because there was no trust to betray. They were both trying to hang you. Fucking Chance still is. Okay? So what now? WINTER Those that are good must suffer the same as those that are bad. He has to suffer. Like I have. LAMBERT Good. Very good. JUDGE RAMOS Case 2-2-3-1-9-8-1. Nicole Chance. I looked at all the statements and been made aware of Ms. Chance's open plea to reduce the charges to battery causing serious bodily injury. I was prepared to issue a sentence when I got a call this morning from a colleague and friend who wished to speak on Ms. Chance's behalf. CHRISTINA What is she talking about? What's going on? JUDGE RAMOS And as it is too late to include her written statement in the file, I've asked her to appear and speak on the record. KIRSTEN I'm Doctor Kirsten Clayton. And I would like to say a few words about Nicole Chance. KIRSTEN It was nothing. I wanted to do it. Seriously. CHANCE It was not nothing. It made a big difference. Trust me. You wanna come over tonight after work? KIRSTEN Sure. CHRISTINA That was wonderful, and moving, and I will never be able to thank you enough. KIRSTEN I meant it. You can stay out of trouble for a year of probation, right? NICOLE Yeah. And thank you. KIRSTEN I'm just glad it worked out. I'll see you. CHRISTINA Thank you. CHANCE Mmm. I can breathe again. NICOLE Hm. Me too. CHANCE How do you feel? NICOLE Really good. CHANCE She was scary, wasn't she? I thought you were gonna get the chair. NICOLE She was. I know. CHRISTINA Would you just, uh, give us a second, sweetie? NICOLE Yeah. I'll meet you outside. And thanks, Dad. For everything. CHRISTINA I can't stop thinking about what you told me. About that girl, from your past. CHANCE Yeah. I know. CHRISTINA Do you? 'Cause I know now I was what you settled for. That there was just no danger of becoming obsessed with me. I was the low charge, that was just gonna keep you from shorting out. CHANCE Stop it. CHRISTINA It's no wonder I was so alone in our whole relationship. We're just gonna have to make some changes going forward. I'm gonna have to. CHANCE What do you mean? What changes? CHRISTINA I don't know yet. But I will. DI God damn it. Where is this fucking guy? CARL What about asking Lorena? She might know where else Winter might go. What? DI I can't get a hold of her. Been trying since she left the shop. First the calls were just going to voicemail, and now the phone's turned off. CARL Is that a cause for concern? DI She's pretty on the ball in general. And she's got stuff going on. It's not like she has to report back to me or whatever. I don't know. I think she probably should have called back by now. CARL I think you're right. CHRISTINA Nic. You know obviously I'm-I'm so happy that things turned out the way that they did. NICOLE Sounds like there's a but coming. CHRISTINA Just because you're not going to juvenile hall doesn't mean we can go back to the way things were. NICOLE So, what does it mean? CHRISTINA We need to make sure that you are presented with good choices now. Always. That you are surrounded with good energy and- NICOLE Mom, stop trying to not say whatever it is and just say it. CHRISTINA You're going to be spending less time with your father. NICOLE What? CHRISTINA Mm-hmm. NICOLE Why? CHRISTINA Because he told me about his past. About what he did. And I know that you know. NICOLE Well, so what? So that was like twenty years ago! And he needed help, and that's what he got- CHRISTINA And I went and I spoke to a family therapist. And until I'm confident your father can be a positive influence given everything that's happened- NICOLE You don't know what you're talking about. Dad actually gets all this. CHRISTINA Okay. Gets what? Talk to me, I'm right here. NICOLE I did what I did, not Dad! He was just trying to help me get through it! Better than you have ever been. Like if I had gone to juvie, Dad was making sure that I would know how to defend myself there. CHRISTINA What? What does that mean? What was he doing? Tell me! NICOLE Why? You won't understand! You never understand anything. And I'm not fucking listening to you! CHRISTINA CHANCE Through the nose. WINTER CHANCE Count of four. WINTER LUCY Hey! Uh, sorry we're late. We took a car but it's still kind of a hike from the road. WINTER Who's this? LUCY It's Willow! WILLOW LUCY My mom, she bailed on me last minute for pinochle club. WINTER Right. LUCY Oh, I'm-I'm sorry, I should have checked with you. But I thought if I told you I couldn't get a sitter, you'd just say don't come. She's really good. She honestly just sleeps. She's basically like a people larva. I swear it'll be fine. WINTER It'll be better than fine. It'll be perfect. Do you want to come in? LUCY Of course. LORENA Hola, esto es Lorena. Deja un mensaje. AUTOMATED MESSAGE The mailbox is full and cannot accept any messages at this time. Goodbye. PEOPLE WINTER It was a federation of children's charities. She was on the governing board. I pledged them some Class B mutual fund shares, and Lyndsay was the one I dealt with. And then she quit, to help just me. LUCY That's awesome. Like, you know, you had that. You're lucky. She must have really thought you were great. WINTER Does Doctor Chance know where you are right now? LUCY No. Nope. WINTER Does he know anything, about. LUCY Oh, I keep starting to tell him and then I don't. WINTER You care what he thinks about you? LUCY He's a good person. He's fucking crazy, but he's always been there for me. Maybe not exactly when I thought he should be, I guess. But times it turned out to actually matter, looking back. Before I left to have Willow I never saw it. But going away and being back now, I, um, can't believe that I didn't. The burnout. The weight on him. How he hears and sees what he hears and sees everyday and then he has to just go back to living in the world. I don't want to give him anything else bad to think about. I don't want to weigh on him. I won't. DANA Nicole. Wake up. My name is Dana. I'm not here to hurt you. NICOLE Mom? DANA We're just gonna take you with us on a little trip. NICOLE Fuck that. I'm not going on a trip, with you.
