We're going to hell for what we did. Do you know what hell is? It's not fire and devils. All that stuff they taught you when you was little. We make our heaven and our hell while we're alive, [♪♪♪] every time we cause pain, every time we cause suffering. [PHONE LINE RINGS] CICERO [OVER PHONE]: Cicero. Hey, it's me. Did I wake you up? No. You said on your message to give you a call, so... Okay, here's the deal. Both of our victims were informants. Could be something there, right? COP: Yeah, could be. Nice work. CICERO: Okay, I need you to follow up on it. I gotta be in court, but I really think we're getting close. It's gotta have something to do with how they got set up. Did you hear about that stabbing in Henderson? Yeah, yeah, what about it? I got a hunch it might be our guy. It's not his m.o. Our guy's a shooter, not a stabber. Like I said, I got a hunch. Yeah, so did Quasimodo.
Look where it got him. I'm gonna go ask a few questions. After you do the follow-up, right? Got it cleared with the Henderson IC. I'm headed up there now. I have to be in court all day. I am asking you to do this. It's my case. [LINE DISCONNECTS] [SIGHS] WOMAN [ON RADIO]: --bring us nothing but the same politics as usual. I have fought to keep government honest, save you money and to lower your taxes. Above all, I will be someone who listens to you. The choice is simple, vote Margie Pageant. MAN 1: In local news, a Henderson man is fighting for his life after being brutally attacked at a gentlemen's club. The man is suffering from stab wounds. Doctors describe his condition as critical. MAN 2 [OVER PHONE]: Hello? [♪♪♪] [PHONE BEEPS] DOCTOR: Sponge. NURSE: Sponge. MAN [OVER HEADSET]: We think he'll be heading back. Your position?
Tehachapi. Try the hospital in Clark County. His third victim survived the hit. He'll be wanting to finish the job. Where are you? MAN: Good night. NURSE: Doctor. [GUNSHOTS AND MAN YELLING] MAN: What the hell is that? [PEOPLE SCREAMING] COP: Back in the room, back in the room. Police officer, get back. Police. NURSE: He went that way. COP: I'm a cop. Where'd he go? He went downstairs, officer. [SIGHS] [GUN CLATTERS] [DOOR SLAMS] [PHONE RINGING] BO Y [OVER PHONE]: How do you have my dad's phone? He asked me to call you.
Are you the one who killed him? Yes. I'm gonna find you and I'm gonna kill you. Do what you need to do. But you better be sure, because it's a long, dark road you're headed down. [♪♪♪] [HORN HONKING] [HORN HONKING] [GROANING] [GUNSHOT] [GUNSHOTS] [PHONE RINGING] I lost him. MAN [OVER HEADSET]: Client wants to pull the job. No. No way. You tell him to back off. I've got this under control. All right? You're running out of time. Where's the old man? Dead. Don't lie to me. I'll show you the damn grave. How long ago? I don't know. Three or four years. WOMAN: Hold still.
[♪♪♪] Okay. MOTHER: How long you been out? Couple of days. And why are you here? Came here to kill the old man. Why? Because he set us up. What makes you think that? Gary went to him for advice on the bank job and he wanted full share. Gary wouldn't give it to him. So do you think the old man was capable of murdering his own son? Yeah. No. Mm-mm. Nope. He couldn't have. What makes you so sure? I just... I just know. Tell me. Say it. Mom. Because... he loved your brother too much. I'm sorry. And that's the truth and that's not your fault. It wasn't like I could pretend you were his. He was reminded of that every time he looked at you. You never stood a chance.
Sorry that I couldn't... That I didn't protect you. The beatings and... [SOBBING] Gary was the only one who ever cared for me. Why'd he pull you in on that job? You were never a part of what they did. When his driver fell out, I volunteered. Why? He owed the wrong people a lot of money. And he needed me. If it wasn't the old man, then who set us up? [♪♪♪] [MAN SPEAKING INSISTINCTLY ON RADIO] EVANGELIST [ON RADIO]: Driven by his passions and desires. You will never truly be free unless you freely forgive. Hate is like a chain around your neck that leads you to places you don't wanna go. It'll lead you into darkness and desolation. You become a slave to that hatred, and it'll only lead to your own destruction. You must break free. WOMAN: Hey, cowboy. You okay, man? COP: Yeah. MAN 1: You laid eyes on him at least. Hey, well done. Thanks, man.
I gotta call you back. MAN 2: Still in one piece. MAN 3: Good job. Good lead, cowboy. You almost got him. We got close. Yeah. It was a good hunch. Well, even Quasimodo has his day. And don't ever hang up on me again. Roger that. I hate to spoil your moment. Got something I wanna show you. I think we may have caught a break. You said "we" again. I did. CICERO: Our latest victim was a Cl too. COP: So all three are informants. CICERO: Mm-hm. All got records, armed robbery, rape, assault. But none did any serious time. They all snitched their way out of the joint over and over. What are the odds of that? Slim and none. I'm waiting on the informant logs now.
COP: Who are these? Former accomplices of the victims. Let's split them up, check them out. I'll take these. EVANGELIST [ON RADIO]: And I know there's not a man, woman or child in this church today that has not sinned. But God did not bring you down on this Earth to be perfect. No. God wants you down here to be saved. [CROWD CHEERS ON RADIO] And when you're down with God, God is eternally down with you. [♪♪♪] EVANGELIST [ON RADIO]: When Jesus knew his time was near, when he knew he was gonna die, when he knew they would not take that cup from his lips, his thoughts were not upon his own. His thoughts were for those that he loved. WOMAN: Amen. EVANGELIST: That's right. His thoughts were for those that he loved, preparing them. EVANGELIST: Why is that? He used the example of his birth. That's right. Here it is. Jesus told them how a woman goes through pain and sorrow in the throes of childbirth. But then as soon as she has delivered, there is no more anguish. [CHEERING] After all the screaming, after all the pushing, after all the blood and the tears, there's only joy that a new child has been born.
WOMAN 1: Hallelujah! And I'll tell you my-- WOMAN 2: Amen! Amen! [CROWD CHEERING] WOMAN 3: Amen. WOMAN 4: Amen. Amen. Amen. WOMAN 5: Hallelujah! Amen! MAN: Amen! Sing me a song! [CHEERING] [BAND PLAYING GOSPEL MUSIC] [SINGING "TROUBLE IN MY WAY"] [SINGING INSISTINCTLY] EVANGELIST: I was wondering when you were gonna show up. You've been the subject of many of my sermons these past few days. I heard. You heard. But did you listen? Everything okay, baby? Everything's just fine, honey.
I was just catching up with an old acquaintance. You go on home now. Let's take a walk. [♪♪♪] Was that your son? Adopted. One of five. Wayward boys. Not unlike me or you at that age. You turned your life around. Doesn't change what you did. I wouldn't want it to. I know it sounds cold, but every good I've done hinged on the evil I did. Who set us up? I don't know. I never did find out how they knew about your safe house. When I got the call, "Easy money," they said. All I had to do was guard the door, be the lookout. I was in a dark place in my life. Numb to the chaos and-- Right here. But when they cut that boy's throat... Oh, Jesus, man. No. That boy they killed was my brother. I can't bring him back. And in my heart I'm sorry. I still took my cut, spent it on drugs and women. Ended up in prison. But it was there that I found my calling. To save and help boys like me.
And like you. It was there that I gave my life to God. God can't save you from me. But maybe he could save you from yourself. I know there's good-- You don't know me. I know the devil got your heart twisted with vengeance and hate. The Lord is merciful. He sees in your soul. Fragile, ain't it? That moment, that sets us on our road to Damascus. Sermon's over. Can you at least find it in your heart to forgive me for what I did? I can't. That's all right. That's all right. Because I forgive you for what you're about to do. [SINGING "JOHN THE REVELATOR"] Lord, see into this man's heart. He's good inside. Oh, Lord, save this man's soul. I know you see his heart. [EVANGELIST CONTINUES SINGING] Release him from the bondage of hatred and vengeance, Lord. [CONTINUES SINGING] [EVANGELIST GRUNTS] Go back to your family. [♪♪♪] That's one hell of a peashooter you got there. How's the recoil? [♪♪♪]
[RINGING] Yeah. CICERO: Where are you? Inyo County at the reservoir. They're here. Both of them. What? Did you call for backup? There's no time for that. Okay, don't do this. I'm sorry I keep stepping on your case. CICERO: I don't care about that. Want you to do me a favor. If I don't make it out of this, tell my son that his daddy went out like a man. I am on my way. Please, just wait for me. I'm just going with the flow. Damn. [FAX MACHINE BEEPS] Aren't you gonna reach for it? Come on. Sporting chance. I've got nothing against you. I've been trying to kill you for days and you've got nothing against me? I'm starting to think you don't take me very seriously, friend. DRIVER: What do you want from me? How about a little respect?
Hey? A little professional courtesy from a peer. Some acknowledgment of my skills. You've got issues. Screw you. I win. [KILLER CHUCKLES] You think you're done? You can't put it together, can you? There must be one more. The one who hired me. He's still alive. I'm gonna kill you all. Drop the gun. Don't move. Slowly. Put the gun down. No. Put the goddamn gun down. No! This is my job! I finish my job. How you gonna finish this when you're dead? So you're the guy that hired me. You shouldn't have done that. I had to finish what I started. Why'd you hire me then? I didn't think I was up to it. After you missed him, I figured I should get involved before he came gunning for me. He didn't even know about you.
I figured that out when he didn't finish me off at the hospital. His brother's girlfriend was my informant down in L.A. She told me about the job. Hired some more of my informants down there. They helped me take down their score. So, what now? Now? I ride off into the sunset. Hey. I forgot to pay you. You know, I don't get you. Why do you put yourself through all this shit for one lousy dollar? It's my price. Call it a hobby. You know what, keep it. I didn't earn it. Don't contact me again, I'm done. Yeah, me too. [LINE RINGING] MALLORY [OVER HEADSET]: Detective Cicero? CICERO: Yeah, I can't reach him. Okay, hopefully he'll turn up. We've got units en route, we'll see you shortly. CICERO: Wait a minute. You didn't flip him this case, did you? I didn't flip him the case. Is that what you thought?
He asked for it, right? He begged for it. And I felt sorry for him, so I caved. Is there a reason why we're talking about this right now? No. No reason. Okay, I'll see you shortly. "Go with the flow," my ass. Marina? Hey, it's me, honey. Well, I got him, I closed the case. Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. As a matter of fact, I feel perfect. Better than I ever have. MARINA: Yeah? Yeah, and I'm gonna get rid of the other stuff too. Don't you worry, I promise. I'll be home in a couple hours. Listen, you're not gonna believe this. I've been reading up on women, and I think I got you figured out. We're gonna be fine. Yeah, honey, it's over. I wanna start brand-new, honey. [GUNSHOT] [COUGHING] [COP GRUNTING] How? Metal plate. I can't feel anything.
I created my own hell. And I'm the demon who crawled up out of it. [LINE RINGING] LILY [OVER SPEAKERPHONE]: Hello? KILLER: Baby. LILY: Where are you? KILLER: I'm coming home. [CICERO SIGHS] [THE HEAVY'S "SHORT CHANGE HERO" PLAYS] Today, I wanna talk to you about forgiveness. [♪♪♪] ‎- ‎! ��‎, �� ‎.�� ؟ ‎.�� ‎.�� ؟ ‎.�� ‎.‎.‎. �� ‎.�� ‎.�� ‎.�� ‎.�� ‎.��

"Of the good in you, I can speak, but not of the evil. " You are only good when you are at one with yourself. What you went through in here I wouldn't wish on any man. But you survived. You didn't ask for trouble. But you didn't back down from it either. It was as if you were born to the darkness in this place. [CLOCK ticking] I hope to God that this day, you put that darkness behind you. [speaking lNDlSTlNCTLY] I want you to know there is help on the outside. So if you get to thinking it's too much and you can't handle the pressure, please call one of these numbers. Do you have any questions? Where's the exit?

What do we got? Yeah, I caught the case. ClCERO: No, you didn't. Yeah. You couldn't have. Why is that? Because Mallory would never put you on my case. I don't like this any more than you do. I'm weeks away from retirement, got paperwork up my ass. So when the supervising sergeant tells me to jump, I just go with the flow, baby. You can't smoke in here. Sorry. ClCERO: Get me a good tight shot of that exit wound. MAN [ON TV]: It is being reported that a gunman entered a downtown Bakersfield building this afternoon and opened fire, killing an employee.

Can you take some time off? killer: No, no, that's not an option.
My business is important. You haven't told me what it is you do now. I'm a surgeon. I remove cancer. Well, I'll have to take you at your word. You know, I have other patients in the medical field. They find it hard to handle the stress associated with their jobs. There's a lot of pressure when you have someone's life in your hands. [sighs] Morning, Detective Cicero. Sergeant Mallory. Don't be mad. You should've told me. MALLORY: You're right, you should've heard it from me. I'm sorry. I should've told you. Let him help you with the case though. [¶¶¶] COP: So, what do we got? You play fast and loose with that "we" shit, cowboy. We got our shooter. We? I got a call from the warden at Murdoch. He recognized our guy in the news. Apparently, he made a lot of money running contraband in prison. Any gang affiliations? Nope, did his whole 1 0. No protection. A walk-alone. They kept coming after him.

[DOOR OPENS] [GASPS] [¶¶¶] [LOCK clicks] [engine STARTS] [tires screeching] OLD MAN: Smile for the camera. I'm gonna kill you all. ClCERO: They killed him. What do you mean they killed him? He was dead. At least for a little while anyway. The hospital pronounced him DO A. [¶¶¶] DOCTOR: Can you hear me? Bullet hit, ricocheted around his skull, came out his cheek. He's got a plate holding the back of his head together. I mean, this guy refused to die.
And now, he must be going after everyone in that video. [¶¶¶] You said you wouldn't be late. Where have you been? I caught a case. You're supposed to take Tommy to his game. You made me late for my class. I'm sorry, it's a big deal, this case. I saw it on TV. I do not wanna hear about it. You want me to have full custody? I will take custody. COP: You know I don't want that. Then take him to his baseball game. Okay. All right. What's up, champ? What position they got you playing? Don't play much. Well, you got an arm like a cannon. I don't know why they wouldn't let you. I know. Maybe I should have a talk with that coach. Maybe pinch-hit or something. What do you say? [PHONE ringing] Hello? ClCERO: Hey, it's Cicero.
There's been another shooting. This could be our guy. Yeah. Mallory wants you down at the scene. Okay, I'll be there in a little bit. 40 45 Danson Road. Got it? I'll be there in an hour. [line disconnects] Hey, you know what, I'm not gonna make it in today. I'm taking my son to a baseball game. It's really important that I be there. Well, you know what? That's just too bad. All right, bye. Good grief. Can you imagine that? I already told them I had a ball game to go to today. [¶¶¶] [CAMERA SHUTTER clicks] Incredible. You're a full two hours late. John, did you--? So, what do we got? What do you got? Guy did the world a favor on this one. Found out who shot our snuff films. Excuse me. So we got a telemarketer, a sex offender. What's next, a lawyer? Whole shebang just got a lot weirder.
Witnesses placed a second shooter at the scene. After our suspect whacked Mr. Rogers, he had a little shootout in the hall. Maybe an armed neighbor. Uh-uh. No one recognized this dude. They exchanged gunfire then disappeared. Both of them. COP: The second shooter, any description? The word "beautiful" came up. Beautiful? Like a movie star. killer: He punked me. He's really that good? killer [OVER HEADSET]: Good's not even the right word. I mean, you know, the dude's completely artless. I mean, there's no sophistication to him whatsoever. But he's pure, you know? No fear, no hesitation. There's nothing. He as fast as you? No, he's faster. You'll get him. How can you be so sure, hey? Because you always do. killer: Baby. Yeah?
Marry me. MAN: Hey, mister. [inaudible dialogue] Goddamn it. Shit. [laughing] is that what I think it is? Oh, the tattoo? Yeah. Tattoo. Yeah, I was in the L.A. Crash Unit before I got transferred up here. Guns blazing, ass-kicking cops with porno mustaches? That Crash? Yeah, is it so hard for you to believe? Yeah. Can I get in there? That's where l met Marina, actually. She was my Cl. You married your snitch? Dude, that is wrong on so many levels. Well, she was in really bad shape. Got in rehab and we fell in love and there you go. Was she the only one in rehab? That's ancient history. You sure about that, Hoss? Listen, I got 1 0 days to retirement. Full benefits for me and my family, so why would I screw that up? It's all I got. COP:
All right. Let's go. How long you been clean? Since my son was born. Good for you. [DOOR OPENS] MAN: David, come on. WOMAN: David, did you forget something? You forgot my hug. BO Y: Love you, Mommy. [¶¶¶] [engine STARTS] Good job. [DOOR CLOSES] [FOOTSTEPS] [BAB Y babbling] Oh, my God. You can't do this. Why did you come? There's nothing for you here. Why did you make me stop coming to see you in prison? I didn't see any sense of three wasted lives. Three? Was that him? The boy? David? You shouldn't think...
You did a dime. David's 8. Do the math. When you cut me off, I gave the baby up. Did you find a good family? I had an abortion. I'm sorry. [sobbing] [¶¶¶] [BAB Y crying] All right. They know what you're doing. I saw it on TV. I hope you kill them all. [¶¶¶] priest: Shall we begin? [GUNSHOTS] [laughing] Fair enough. Fair enough. [laughing] Let's start a family. Family? Yeah. What's gotten into you? We'll sell the house by the lake, and we'll get a Craftsman in Pasadena. Fresh start. You're serious about this, aren't you? Yes.
And what about your work? Oh, um... Well, what about it? Would you quit before this job? Absolutely. I will quit absolutely. Just like that? Just like that. Marina. Let me in for a second, I need to talk. I'm gonna stand here all day, so you may as well. Marina. [LOCK clicks] WOMAN [ON TV]: --killed, the first victim was gunned down less than an hour after the suspected gunman was released from prison. While the second victim was shot-- What are you doing here? Thought you didn't care about my case. REPORTER: --to a bank robbery at Bakersfield 1 0 years ago. Look, I do not need you coming here and dragging us down again. Marina, if you just-- No. I am getting my associate's degree. I am trying to make something better for Tommy and me. Please take me back. It'll be okay. It's not okay. Marina, I'm begging you. I'm begging you, please. God.
Get off your knees. Marina, please. Just please-- Don't touch me. Do not touch me. Give me the dope. I don't have any dope. Give it to me. Okay. Here. It's all I got. Look, I'll go to rehab. I swear to God I will. Let's go. Let's go right now. After the case, I gotta finish the case. Well, I can't just walk out on that. I just wanna be with you for one night. I mean, you know, with Tommy and-- Please. Just one night. [MAN singing in spanish ON radio] MAN 1 [ON radio]: Radio-- MAN 2: Twenty-five dollar gift cert-- evangelist: Brother, put down that bottle.

So precious to each one of us. Why? The night is far gone, the day is at hand. Those that live by the sword will die by the sword, unless they learn to forgive. God made life so fragile and so precious for each one of us. You will never truly be free unless you learn to-- BOUNCER 1 : Yo, I gotta take a leak. I'll be right back. BOUNCER 2: Hold up, big man, I gotta check you. Arms up. [inaudible dialogue] BOUNCER 2: Got any weapons on you besides these guns here? I'm only kidding, man. Go on, have a good time. cashier: Welcome to the gentlemen's club. It's a two-drink minimum tonight, baby. [rich ROSSl'S "LEAN'N" playing OVER SPEAKERS] My man. Hey, what's up, big dog? I'm great. Right. [speaking lNDlSTlNCTLY] Wake up, Joe. Huh? [¶¶¶] BOUNCER:
I've been expecting you. Joe. Joe. Huh? Oh, Shelly. Go outside and watch the door. Only one of us is gonna make it out of here. No matter who it is, Joe, you didn't see a damn thing. Go on. All right, then. [GRUNTlNG] [gasping] I got a son. Tell him I said I'm sorry. I'm begging you. He's speed dial number three. I'm sorry. He made us take you down. [line rings] BO Y [OVER PHONE]: Hello? Hello? Your father's sorry. Who is this? is he okay? Did something happen? Yeah. Something happened. [¶¶¶] I thought you said you were done.
I have to finish this one first. You promised me you were quitting. And I will. I will quit. But after this one. No, this isn't fair. I didn't ask you to marry me. I'm sorry. You're sorry? Mm-hm. What if I told you you had to choose? Don't. You used to be attracted to what I do. I'm your wife now. What if he kills you? Lily. [SOBS] Daddy? Yeah? I know I suck at baseball. You don't have to pretend like I'm good. You'll get better. You just need to practice. Maybe you and I can throw the ball around one day. How's that? Okay. I gotta tell you a secret first, though. What, Daddy? I suck at baseball too. [BOTH LAUGH] [CLATTERlNG]
You go to sleep, okay? I'll be back. Jesus Christ. [GROANS] Oh, Jesus. Are you okay? Look at me, look at me. Why did you do this? I'm afraid. What are you afraid of, honey? We're going to hell for what we did. Do you know what hell is? It's not fire and devils. All that stuff they taught you when you was little. We make our heaven and our hell while we're alive, [¶¶¶] every time we cause pain, every time we cause suffering. [PHONE line rings] ClCERO [OVER PHONE]: Cicero. Hey, it's me. Did I wake you up? No. You said on your message to give you a call, so... Okay, here's the deal. Both of our victims were informants. Could be something there, right? COP: Yeah, could be. Nice work.
ClCERO: Okay, I need you to follow up on it. I gotta be in court, but I really think we're getting close. It's gotta have something to do with how they got set up. Did you hear about that stabbing in Henderson? Yeah, yeah, what about it? I got a hunch it might be our guy. It's not his m.o. Our guy's a shooter, not a stabber. Like I said, I got a hunch. Yeah, so did Quasimodo. Look where it got him. I'm gonna go ask a few questions. After you do the follow-up, right? Got it cleared with the Henderson lC. I'm headed up there now. I have to be in court all day. I am asking you to do this. It's my case. [line disconnects] [sighs] WOMAN [ON radio]: --bring us nothing but the same politics as usual. I have fought to keep government honest, save you money and to lower your taxes. Above all, I will be someone who listens to you. The choice is simple, vote Margie Pageant. MAN 1 : In local news, a Henderson man is fighting for his life after being brutally attacked at a gentlemen's club. The man is suffering from stab wounds. Doctors describe his condition as critical. MAN 2 [OVER PHONE]:
Hello? [¶¶¶] [PHONE BEEPS] DOCTOR : Sponge. NURSE: Sponge. MAN [OVER HEADSET]: We think he'll be heading back. Your position? Tehachapi. Try the hospital in Clark County. His third victim survived the hit. He'll be wanting to finish the job. Where are you? MAN: Good night. NURSE: Doctor. [GUNSHOTS AND MAN yelling] MAN: What the hell is that? [PEOPLE screaming] COP: Back in the room, back in the room. Police officer, get back. Police. NURSE: He went that way. COP:
I'm a cop. Where'd he go? He went downstairs, officer. [sighs] [GUN CLATTERS] [DOOR SLAMS] [PHONE ringing] BO Y [OVER PHONE]: How do you have my dad's phone? He asked me to call you. Are you the one who killed him? Yes. I'm gonna find you and I'm gonna kill you. Do what you need to do. But you better be sure, because it's a long, dark road you're headed down. [¶¶¶] [HORN honking] [HORN honking] [groaning] [GUNSHOT] [GUNSHOTS] [PHONE ringing] I lost him. MAN [OVER HEADSET]: Client wants to pull the job. No. No way. You tell him to back off. I've got this under control. All right?
You're running out of time. Where's the old man? Dead. Don't lie to me. I'll show you the damn grave. How long ago? I don't know. Three or four years. WOMAN: Hold still. [¶¶¶] Okay. MOTHER: How long you been out? Couple of days. And why are you here? Came here to kill the old man. Why? Because he set us up. What makes you think that? Gary went to him for advice on the bank job and he wanted full share. Gary wouldn't give it to him. So do you think the old man was capable of murdering his own son? Yeah. No. Mm-mm. Nope. He couldn't have. What makes you so sure? I just...
I just know. Tell me. Say it. Mom. Because... he loved your brother too much. I'm sorry. And that's the truth and that's not your fault. It wasn't like I could pretend you were his. He was reminded of that every time he looked at you. You never stood a chance. Sorry that I couldn't... That I didn't protect you. The beatings and... [sobbing] Gary was the only one who ever cared for me. Why'd he pull you in on that job? You were never a part of what they did. When his driver fell out, I volunteered. Why? He owed the wrong people a lot of money. And he needed me. If it wasn't the old man, then who set us up? [¶¶¶] [MAN speaking lNDlSTlNCTLY ON radio] evangelist [ON radio]: Driven by his passions and desires. You will never truly be free unless you freely forgive. Hate is like a chain around your neck that leads you to places you don't wanna go. It'll lead you into darkness and desolation. You become a slave to that hatred, and it'll only lead to your own destruction.
You must break free. WOMAN: Hey, cowboy. You okay, man? COP: Yeah. MAN 1 : You laid eyes on him at least. Hey, well done. Thanks, man. I gotta call you back. MAN 2: Still in one piece. MAN 3: Good job. Good lead, cowboy. You almost got him. We got close. Yeah. It was a good hunch. Well, even Quasimodo has his day. And don't ever hang up on me again. Roger that. I hate to spoil your moment. Got something I wanna show you. I think we may have caught a break. You said "we" again. I did. ClCERO: Our latest victim was a Cl too.
COP: So all three are informants. ClCERO: Mm-hm. All got records, armed robbery, rape, assault. But none did any serious time. They all snitched their way out of the joint over and over. What are the odds of that? Slim and none. I'm waiting on the informant logs now. COP: Who are these? Former accomplices of the victims. Let's split them up, check them out. I'll take these. evangelist [ON radio]: And I know there's not a man, woman or child in this church today that has not sinned. But God did not bring you down on this Earth to be perfect. No. God wants you down here to be saved. [CROWD CHEERS ON radio] And when you're down with God, God is eternally down with you. [¶¶¶] evangelist [ON radio]: When Jesus knew his time was near, when he knew he was gonna die, when he knew they would not take that cup from his lips, his thoughts were not upon his own. His thoughts were for those that he loved. WOMAN: Amen. evangelist: That's right.
His thoughts were for those that he loved, preparing them. evangelist: Why is that? He used the example of his birth. That's right. Here it is. Jesus told them how a woman goes through pain and sorrow in the throes of childbirth. But then as soon as she has delivered, there is no more anguish. [cheering] After all the screaming, after all the pushing, after all the blood and the tears, there's only joy that a new child has been born. WOMAN 1 : Hallelujah! And I'll tell you my-- WOMAN 2: Amen! Amen! [CROWD cheering] WOMAN 3: Amen. WOMAN 4: Amen. Amen. Amen. WOMAN 5: Hallelujah! Amen! MAN: Amen! Sing me a song! [cheering] [BAND playing GOSPEL music]
[singing "TROUBLE in MY WAY"] [singing lNDlSTlNCTLY] evangelist: I was wondering when you were gonna show up. You've been the subject of many of my sermons these past few days. I heard. You heard. But did you listen? Everything okay, baby? Everything's just fine, honey. I was just catching up with an old acquaintance. You go on home now. Let's take a walk. [¶¶¶] Was that your son? Adopted. One of five. Wayward boys. Not unlike me or you at that age. You turned your life around. Doesn't change what you did. I wouldn't want it to. I know it sounds cold, but every good I've done hinged on the evil I did. Who set us up? I don't know. I never did find out how they knew about your safe house. When I got the call, "Easy money," they said. All I had to do was guard the door, be the lookout. I was in a dark place in my life. Numb to the chaos and-- Right here.
But when they cut that boy's throat... Oh, Jesus, man. No. That boy they killed was my brother. I can't bring him back. And in my heart I'm sorry. I still took my cut, spent it on drugs and women. Ended up in prison. But it was there that I found my calling. To save and help boys like me. And like you. It was there that I gave my life to God. God can't save you from me. But maybe he could save you from yourself. I know there's good-- You don't know me. I know the devil got your heart twisted with vengeance and hate. The Lord is merciful. He sees in your soul. Fragile, ain't it? That moment, that sets us on our road to Damascus. Sermon's over. Can you at least find it in your heart to forgive me for what I did? I can't. That's all right. That's all right. Because I forgive you for what you're about to do. [singing "JOHN THE REVELATOR"] Lord, see into this man's heart. He's good inside. Oh, Lord, save this man's soul.
I know you see his heart. [evangelist continues singing] Release him from the bondage of hatred and vengeance, Lord. [continues singing] [evangelist GRUNTS] Go back to your family. [¶¶¶] That's one hell of a peashooter you got there. How's the recoil? [¶¶¶] [ringing] Yeah. ClCERO: Where are you? Inyo County at the reservoir. They're here. Both of them. What? Did you call for backup? There's no time for that. Okay, don't do this. I'm sorry I keep stepping on your case. ClCERO: I don't care about that. Want you to do me a favor. If I don't make it out of this, tell my son that his daddy went out like a man. I am on my way. Please, just wait for me. I'm just going with the flow. Damn.
[FAX machine BEEPS] Aren't you gonna reach for it? Come on. Sporting chance. I've got nothing against you. I've been trying to kill you for days and you've got nothing against me? I'm starting to think you don't take me very seriously, friend. driver: What do you want from me? How about a little respect? Hey? A little professional courtesy from a peer. Some acknowledgment of my skills. You've got issues. Screw you. I win. [killer CHUCKLES] You think you're done? You can't put it together, can you? There must be one more. The one who hired me. He's still alive. I'm gonna kill you all. Drop the gun. Don't move. Slowly. Put the gun down. No. Put the goddamn gun down. No!
This is my job! I finish my job. How you gonna finish this when you're dead? So you're the guy that hired me. You shouldn't have done that. I had to finish what I started. Why'd you hire me then? I didn't think I was up to it. After you missed him, I figured I should get involved before he came gunning for me. He didn't even know about you. I figured that out when he didn't finish me off at the hospital. His brother's girlfriend was my informant down in L.A. She told me about the job. Hired some more of my informants down there. They helped me take down their score. So, what now? Now? I ride off into the sunset. Hey. I forgot to pay you. You know, I don't get you. Why do you put yourself through all this shit for one lousy dollar? It's my price. Call it a hobby. You know what, keep it. I didn't earn it. Don't contact me again, I'm done. Yeah, me too. [line ringing] MALLORY [OVER HEADSET]:
Detective Cicero? ClCERO: Yeah, I can't reach him. Okay, hopefully he'll turn up. We've got units en route, we'll see you shortly. ClCERO: Wait a minute. You didn't flip him this case, did you? I didn't flip him the case. is that what you thought? He asked for it, right? He begged for it. And I felt sorry for him, so I caved. is there a reason why we're talking about this right now? No. No reason. Okay, I'll see you shortly. "Go with the flow," my ass. Marina? Hey, it's me, honey. Well, I got him, I closed the case. Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. As a matter of fact, I feel perfect. Better than I ever have. marina: Yeah? Yeah, and I'm gonna get rid of the other stuff too. Don't you worry, I promise. I'll be home in a couple hours. Listen, you're not gonna believe this.
I've been reading up on women, and I think I got you figured out. We're gonna be fine. Yeah, honey, it's over. I wanna start brand-new, honey. [GUNSHOT] [coughing] [COP GRUNTlNG] How? Metal plate. I can't feel anything. I created my own hell. And I'm the demon who crawled up out of it. [line ringing] lily [OVER SPEAKERPHONE]: Hello? killer: Baby. lily: Where are you? killer: I'm coming home. [ClCERO sighs] [THE HEAVY'S "SHORT CHANGE HERO" PLAYS] Today, I wanna talk to you about forgiveness. [¶¶¶] The End NARRATOR: Previously on Nip/Tuck. - Why are you with me, Christian?
You think I'm stupid. You hate yourself like I do. I always go back to you because you hate me the best. Will you marry me? SEAN: Christian loves you, and he is faithful to you. I don't know who he is. I don't know who I am. KIMBER: We're bad. Like, this is really bad. - How come I don't feel guilty? Curtis, I gotta tell you, I was shocked when I heard you won the Poland Award. We're lucky though, you know, Sean? Most poor bastards they never get to find out what their true purpose in life is. Usually we ask our new clients what they don't like about themselves but in this case I think we can figure it out. - What happened, a car accident? JOEL: Physics. Hundred-seventy pound man falls 245 feet quickly reaching a maximum velocity of 86 miles an hour before he hits the water four seconds later. Which doesn't sound like a long time, but it's a freaking eternity. - And was this a suicide attempt? - Yeah. At the most clichéd spot on the planet, the Golden Gate Bridge. And you survived the fall. You heh, must be one in a million. Close. About 1200 people have jumped from the bridge. A conservative estimate. The current's so strong, they assume more have jumped without being seen and been swept out to sea or taken by sharks.
Only about 40 of us have lived to tell the tale. Why'd you do it? What my partner means is we're gonna need a complete psychological picture before we can agree to operate on you. I don't mind talking about it. I'm as sane as the next guy. My psychiatrist agrees. - You ever try and kill yourself? - No. - What about you, Dr. Troy? - You know, I've had rough patches but I guess I've always been able to find pleasure in my life somehow. Well, that's lucky. Yeah, I guess I'm just kind of a naturally depressive personality. Heh. Which, I guess, is obvious. Just... Life's just been, you know, hard for a while. My son died of leukemia. He was 14 years old. You know, marriages don't survive that kind of thing and I just felt this kind of darkness building up inside me. The edges of it disappeared and it felt like it kind of swallowed me up. Wasn't even painful anymore. Everything just was so hard. Except jumping. Heh. Jumping was easy. JOEL: I remember I didn't want anybody to see me go over the rail like I didn't wanna get in trouble somehow. And I went over the rail, and there's a lip, and I stood there and then I just stepped. I mean, the way, you know, you step out of bed in the morning. I stepped.
And I thought to myself, "No, not this. Go back. Stop, go back!" By second two, I knew I wanted to live. I've never been so sure of anything in my life. - What did you do? - Um... Well, most of the people who have survived landed feet first. So I somehow managed to flip myself over and hit the water like a blade of grass. I mean, it still felt like a cinder block to the balls, though. Broke two vertebrae in my pelvis and, you know, obviously the reason I'm here. Broke all 14 bones in your face, but your jaw is remarkably intact. Mr. Seabrook, ahem we may not be able to make you look the way you looked before. I don't care about that. I just wanna look normal. Jumping gave me a second chance to live my life, to follow my dreams. I wanna go back to school, maybe become a therapist start dating again. You know, maybe have... [CHUCKLES SOFTLY] Maybe have another kid. You must be in a lot of pain. You know how they say when you die, your life flashes before your eyes? It's not true. You don't see all the things you've done. You see all the things you're never gonna get a chance to do. All the opportunities you're gonna lose. I didn't jump to my death. I jumped to my life. I just need you to help me live it. [MOANING]
Baby, that feels so good. [EXHALES] Okay, come inside me. [EXHALES] Aren't you? No. I mean, no, I'm good. I don't need to. You do it. Come on. [MOANING] [KIMBER MOANING] Oh, my God, Sean. [MOANING] [BOTH SIGH] Oh, my God, that was insane. [CHRISTIAN GRUNTING] That was weird. Why? I'm not used to you not coming. Well, I don't always need to come. [SIGHS] I do. Honey, we're married. We have, like, a lifetime of orgasms ahead of us. We're good. It's good. It's all good. [SIGHING] SEAN:
Why stay with him? - Are you suggesting that you and I...? - No. I wanna know. Why stay with him if it makes you so unhappy? I don't know. The same reason you do, I guess. Gotta feel sorry for the guy, huh? Unlucky bastard. He survived a fall from the Golden Gate Bridge. How's that unlucky? He went from being depressed and suicidal to completely delusional in 700 feet. - He really thinks he's gonna change his life. - You don't believe him? How many times have you sworn off drinking and wake up with a hangover? Having a hangover and attempting suicide are not the same thing. You would know, I guess. What's that supposed to mean? People don't change because they think they're gonna die and then get a second chance. - You had cancer. You thought you were gonna die. That didn't give you courage to look at life differently? For about a week, yeah, maybe, all right? I think there's no way you can't change after something like that. So tell me, how is your life so different since you swam out to the buoy? At a certain age, you accept who you are and stop thinking there's something better. You're right. You haven't changed at all. You married Kimber and still screw around every chance you get. Which reminds me, I was having lunch at Shutters the other day.
Picked up these two hot sisters who both wanna go up two cup sizes. They're coming in on Thursday. Unbelievably hot, trust me. I told them that'd be cool. Is that cool with you? Why don't you finish up here? I forgot I have a meeting I need to get to. We have a consult after this. CHRISTIAN: Tell me what you don't like about yourself, Mr. Wise. Don't get the wrong idea. I wasn't trying to kill myself. Mr. Wise, the gash around your neck was clearly made by a belt. Probably spiked, from the sharp indentations left at perfectly spaced intervals. The skin's been ripped and twisted, not a surprising consequence when you try to hang yourself. - Kudos, Sherlock. Spiked belt it was. Although you haven't solved the case just yet. I wasn't trying to commit suicide. I was masturbating. Autoerotic asphyxiation. Gone awry. My bad. I just need you to fix this so that I can stop wearing scarves and turtle necks when it's 80 degrees outside. I liked you better when I thought you tried to kill yourself. You risked dying for an orgasm? It wasn't just an orgasm. It was the orgasm, of a lifetime. [CHUCKLES] You have no idea. [SIGHS]
Cutting off the blood supply to the brain provides an amazing high. - I do have an idea, actually. - Better than any drug you've ever had... I've ever had. Heh-heh. Includes quite an extensive list, I can tell you. - Don't knock it if you haven't tried it, doc. - Thanks but I can usually find someone to help me out. - Call it the perks of being married. - Oh, all right. Been there, divorced that. All I'm saying is you cut off the flow of blood and oxygen to the brain, your dick gets unbelievably hard. It's why these guys who are hung get these huge boners and ejaculate when they die. It's called induced... Induced cerebral anoxia, I know. That's right. You get this euphoria. It's like having one foot in heaven. So I take it you're gonna continue with this practice even after I repair the damage to your neck? Don't worry, doc. I'll stick to silk ties from now on. Same high without the ring around the collar. Look, I'm asking you to fix this, not how I choose to come. Judge not. Right? [SPEAKS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE] - Excuse me. - May I help you? Yeah. I'm looking for Dr. Ryerson.
- Is he expecting you? - We spoke earlier on the phone. - I'm Sean McNamara. - Oh, Dr. McNamara. Yes. I'm Nsolo. Curtis told me you were coming by. You and your partner were the only recipients of the Poland Award this year. Congratulations. Follow me, please. Hey, Sean, thanks for coming. Hey, how was your drive? - Just fine. Fine. - Good. Let me know if there's anything you need while in San Diego, anything at all. Thanks. Nsolo stepped on a landmine in Angola. He was a beggar at the airport when we met him and now he practically runs the center when I'm on the road which is about 10 months of the year. - I'm glad you were in town. I've been wanting to see your operations since we talked. Here it is, in all its glamour. - Not exactly Beverly Hills, but... - That's a good thing. So what's going on with Christian? Oh. He's still sucking the champagne and caviar out of life. After the ceremony, you took off so quickly I thought... Sorry, I had to jump on the next flight. There was an emergency at the office.
I cannot tell you how many trips I've had to cut short and hop on a plane. I remember once, a crop duster came and picked us up on the Serengeti on the way to a malaria outbreak in Darfur. An angry herd of wildebeests chases us down the runway. I kid you not. Barely got out of there with our necks. Wow. Heh. The closest I've come to anything like that would be bumper to bumper on the 405 with Christian, who's in a bad mood because he's late for his massage. [LAUGHS] That's why I called you. I'm here because I wanna help. So, what can I do? Well, we are flying a 12-year-old girl in from Jakarta on Thursday. Her husband cut her face with a machete when she fought off his rape attempt. What we need is a surgeon and an OR. Consider it done. You sure about this? I mean, maybe think about it? Talk to Christian? No, I don't need to talk to Christian. This is something I wanna do. Something I probably should have done a long time ago. All right. Well, I'll set it for Thursday. Great. This is really gonna make a difference, Sean. What are you doing? - I wanna make my baby happy. - But I'm half as... If my baby's not happy then I'm not happy.
- I'm half asleep. - Look. Just tell me what you want. Anything. I want you. - Don't worry about me, I'm fine. - You don't seem fine to me. Come on. [CHRISTIAN GRUNTS] [CHRISTIAN MOANS] - Yeah, Kim, baby. - Ah! - What are you doing? - Trust me, trust me, trust me, baby. You gotta trust me. You're gonna have the come of your life, I promise. Okay? Trust me. [BOTH MOANING] - Look at me. Look at me. Trust me. - Oh. Okay. [GASPING] [SCREAMS] Oh, my God. Aah! Aah! Oh, my God.
Yeah. [COUGHS THEN CLEARS THROAT] That's my baby. [PANTING] Next time, you're doing me, baby. Oh... [SIGHS] Sorry, partner, I was performing a "slipindicktomy." Heh. We in high school? You have to brag about having sex with your wife? We are not talking about sex, partner. I gave Kimmie the orgasm of her lifetime, okay? I mean, Kimmie's toes curled up like the wicked witch of the east. That's all because of Mr. Wise in there. Seriously. We were having a marital problem. The sex was all, whatever. Anyway, I took his advice and tried erotic asphyxiation. You choked your wife? Come on. It's not like I'm O.J. I know how to deal with the pressure. - I'm a doctor. - Oh, you're right. It's very romantic. - Trust me. Kimber loved it. - Not as much as you did though. - What's that supposed to mean? - Everything is about power for you. You're not satisfied unless you're dominating your partner.
You live with your hand on her throat, might as well screw her that way. - Jeez, what's up your ass today? - Kimber deserves better than this. If you're having problems, try talking about it. Okay, Mr. Marriage-Counselor-Guy. You're giving me advice, right? Last time I checked, you've been divorced... How many times? Same as me, right? And since when do you care about Kimber so much? Guys, are you clean enough? The guy's been under for six minutes. [SIGHS] [KNOCKING] Sean, what...? Sean? - No, no, no. No talking. No talking. - Well... Mmp. Oh. Mmp. - Isn't that what you like now? - No. Sean. Sean. Ah. Sean, stop it! [SIGHS]
Jesus. Kimber. Hey, look, I know about the choking. He told me. I just wanna know if you're okay. It's fine. It's not as bad as it looks. [SIGHS] Maybe you should get somebody to look at that, you know? Sean, stop it. I really... I really don't want you to touch me right now, okay? I came here because we need to stop doing this. [SIGHS] Okay. Okay? Just okay? What do you want me to say, "Stay, we can work it out"? I would have thought maybe you'd have a little bit more feeling than that for me. It's never what this was about. You know that. Okay. Then I guess that's it. - You're not going back to him, are you? - He's my husband, Sean. You deserve better. I know. The only reason why I haven't been able to get it is because I'm fooling around with his best friend. And I am just as much to blame for my own unhappiness as anybody. And if I'm gonna get what I deserve I need to take a little bit of responsibility, refocus on my marriage.
Even if that means being completely honest with him. How long you been going behind my back, you cheating bastard? I come in this morning expecting to be waist deep in double-D's. Instead, I find my two bimbos out in the lobby trying to reschedule. Oh, cool your jets. We'll fit your bimbos in and I promise this won't cost you a penny. - Good to see you, Christian. - I don't give a shit. If you're operating on somebody who needs it, fine. - There's a first. CHRISTIAN: And what about him? I mean, where did he come from? The last time we saw each other, you were too embarrassed to say goodbye. Now you're working together in our surgical suite. Curtis said he needed some help and I jumped at the opportunity. - And you forgot to tell me? - I didn't think you'd care. Bullshit. You knew exactly what you were doing. - Why don't you scrub in? You can help us. - No, thank you. I have no desire to be around Sean while he's got his tongue so far up your ass. Sorry about that. Guess you never got around to telling him you're gonna be gone to Africa for a month. [CLEARS THROAT] Sorry to interrupt. We really do need to get a "do not disturb" sign on that door. Nurse Linda has to come in, she needs to take your vitals.
That's fine. I'm... I'm through. Yeah, maybe you should go finish off in the bathroom. Really, it's not worth the effort. I've had farts that were more exciting. [CHUCKLES] Why don't we take a look, huh? - How's it look? - Looks pretty good. Very good, in fact. How's the patient doing? - Depressed. - That's just the anesthesia wearing off. - You'll be fine in a couple of days. - Bullshit. I've been rubbing myself raw, fantasizing my ass off. Sex without asphyxiation is about as exciting as... Day without sunshine? Right. I forgot. Heh. - You like me better suicidal. - Oh, no, no. I don't. I mean, I did, but... I don't. [CHUCKLES] I've been having some trouble in my marriage and I think you might have just helped it. She was a little scared at first.
Thought I was trying to choke her to death or something. - And? - It worked. [LAUGHS] Probably the greatest orgasm I've ever seen. How was it when she did you? Blow your mind or what? No, no, no. Better at giving than receiving. Well, it depends what you're receiving. Believe me, if you wanna discover your capacity for limitless ecstasy go beyond what you ever thought possible, get her to return the favor. [CHUCKLES] Your marriage will last forever. Well, I think the neck's coming along fine. As long as you stay off the windpipe for a couple of months, maybe forever you'll be good. Do you know what it's like to have experienced heaven and now be denied entry? You know, I think I'll get you a couple of girl-on-girl action videos. I'll talk to my anesthesiologist, get a recommendation. [DOOR CLOSES] [SIGHS] - Hey, handsome. - Hi, honey. I'm just gonna jump on the treadmill before we get to dinner. - Yeah? - Mm-hm. - What? - Come over here. - What? - Sit. What are you doing?
You look like a bitch in heat, Kimmie. - Do I? - Yeah. Well, I'm actually a tigress, and you are a tortoise. - Tortoise? - Mm-hm. - That's exciting. - I've been reading the Kama Sutra book. [BOTH LAUGH] You're not the only creative lover. Oh, I like creative. Why don't you get me off like I got you off? Well, I'm not really into that sort of thing. Come on. - Mm-mm. - No? But I want you to lay back. Spread your legs. [UNZIPS] [BOTH MOANING] Give me your hands. Come on. Come on, tighter. Yeah. Oh! Oh! Oh, Christian. Oh, that's so good. Oh! - Oh!
- What are you doing? What? You don't come like that with me. That's... But I'm having an orgasm. You faked that. - No, I did not. - Yes, you did. Bullshit. - Filthy old porn trash. - Oh, thanks. I'm sorry. This is the only time I've done it, okay? I've never done it before. Why should I believe that? Because I'm not into the choking thing. It freaks me out. - Why didn't you tell me? - I feel guilty. Guilty? What the hell for? [DOOR SLAMS] [ELEVATOR BELL DINGS] [ELEVATOR BELL DINGS] I think that you have made the right decision. There's not much choice. It's peach or blueberry. I overheard Ryerson on his cell after you two worked on that girl the other day. You're going with him to Africa. I just want you to know I think it's really great.
I mean, I do hate you for leaving, but I do understand. And by the way, when the hell were you gonna tell me? I mean, should I update my résumé? It hasn't sunk in yet. What did Christian say? - I haven't told him... - Oh. ...yet. - Hmm. Don't say anything, okay? You know, it's funny after all these years of you changing people and you being the one who needed it. [EXHALES] [INHALES DEEPLY] Ah... [BREATHING HEAVILY] CHRISTIAN: Shit head was right. Feels like an orgasm everywhere. My feet, my shoulders. Oh, God, I'm gonna come. [CHRISTIAN GASPING] Get up and take the belt off. Oh, shit, I can't move. There's not enough... I can't feel... I can't breathe. Stand up and the take the goddamn belt off. Get up. Get up. [DOOR OPENS]
KIMBER: Christian. Christian. Christian. Jesus Christ. Baby, oh, my God. Oh, no. [GRUNTING] Baby? Baby? Christian, honey? Christian? Christian. Christian? Jesus Christ. Hi, can you come right away, please? [KIMBER'S VOICE ECHOING] - No. - Are you okay? Are you sure you don't want them to come? Did you try and kill yourself? What is it, the choking thing, honey? If it is, I don't care. I'll do it. I'll do whatever you want. I'll be a slave if you want. - I don't want a slut. - I didn't mean it like that. - That's not what I meant. - Yes, it is.
I had this moment of clarity just before I lost consciousness. [CHRISTIAN SIGHS] You'll never make me happy. I can never love you enough. - Baby, you are not thinking clearly. You don't have enough oxygen in your brain. You don't know what you're saying. I've never felt so clear. Christian, we've hit a rough patch. You don't break up because of it. We said for better or worse, remember? Yeah. - I can't do that part. - Okay, then look, this is my fault. It's my fault. I've been a bad wife and I've done really bad things but I'm so sorry, and I'll make it up to you and I know that you'll love me again. Can you hear what you're saying? I'm not good for you. I'm meant to be alone. [SNIFFLING] [KIMBER SIGHS] KIMBER: He kicked me out. That's it, it's over. He's done with me now. I've heard that before. How many hundreds of times? [SNIFFLES] No, it's different this time. You should have seen the look on his face.
We're like two strangers. I mean, the guy doesn't even like me. Good. He's doing you a favor, Kimber. It's a gift. [CRYING] But I don't want that kind of gift. I want one that includes him. One for us. - I mean, he's where I belong. - Not anymore. Maybe you never did. All right? Maybe it was just your fear of not belonging anywhere that made you so stuck. It doesn't matter now. All that matters now is what are you gonna do? This is your opportunity, Kimber. Jump. Take the leap. Find out who you are without him telling you're not good enough pretty enough, smart enough. Do it, before you get too old and you can't. I'm not like you Sean. I don't hate Christian. And I certainly don't wanna be him either. [DOOR CLOSES] [WOMAN LAUGHING] Sit down. Take a load off. Don't drink too much. [INDISTINCT CHATTER AND LAUGHTER] MIKE:
Hey. Hi. What's with the bad mood? [SIGHS] Well, I don't really enjoy hanging out with a bunch of Hollywood skanks. Oh, come on, they're nice girls, Kimber. You said we were gonna be alone. You'll get your turn. There's more than enough Mike to go around. [WHISPERING] Just give me a second, I'll be right there. I believe April is next. Excuse me. I thought I was the one you wanted to spend the rest of your life with. So did I. Wow. Crazy times, huh? I tell you, it's a good thing you kicked my ass to the curb that final time. I mean, it's taken a shit load of curves, but I think I finally got the message. I'm sorry about that. It was shitty. And I don't have an excuse other than I was obsessed with Christian. But I don't feel that way, and you're so good to me and we're good together, and I just... I really, in my heart, feel that two people that are right for each other need to spend the rest of their lives together. Honey, I've got more bumps and bruises than a rodeo clown. I can handle the pain, but after a while you just get tired of being laughed at. [SIGHS] Listen do me a favor, will you, Kimber? I've got a Chateau Mouton-Rothschild 1986 over at the bar. Would be a sweetie and go get it?
[WOMEN LAUGH] And bring a corkscrew. MIKE: Hey. Kimber, the wine? Not yet. I'm planning to take him to his favorite strip club and drop the bomb there, let naked women soften the blow. Uh... No, not anymore. He kicked his wife out. Listen, Curtis, I was thinking we could author an article together based on this trip. I have an idea for a new procedure on patients with neurofibromatosis. Great. Okay. Yeah. We'll talk about it when I see you in a few days. Ah. I gotta go. Okay, bye. What? [SIGHS] Kimber fell off a boat last night. She's... She's missing. What? Whose boat? Mike's. Coast Guard thinks she... Thinks she's dead. Wait, I don't understand what happened.
She... She slipped and fell off the boat? - Mike thinks she jumped. - Jumped? Yeah. Suicide? But the Coast Guard is still searching, so they could still find her. Well, it's been 12 hours and you can't survive in the water that long, you know? [SCOFFS] I kicked her out last night. [VOICE BREAKING] I told her I wanted her out of my life. [EXHALES] I should have... [MUTTERS] [SOBBING] I don't know what to do. There you are. Dr. McNamara? I wanted to thank you and Dr. Troy for the excellent care I've received here. - Is he around? - No, he's... You look like you're healing well, Mr. Seabrook. I feel great. Today really is the first day of the rest of my life. I'm not gonna let a day pass doing things I don't wanna do or feeling ways I don't wanna feel. Good for you. I wish you luck with everything. Hope the same for you, Dr. McNamara. All right. Goodbye.
[ENGLISH SDH] Previously on nip/tuck... Why are you with me, Christian? You think I'm stupid. You hate yourself like I do. I always go back to you because you hate me the best. Will you marry me? Christian loves you, and he is faithful to you. I don't know who he is. I don't know who I am. We're bad. Like, this is really bad. Heck if I don't feel guilty. Curtis? I got to tell you, I was a little shocked when I heard you won the Poland award. We're lucky, though, you know, Sean? Most poor bastards, they never get to find out what their true purpose in life is. Usually, we ask our new clients what they don't like about themselves, but in this case, I think we can figure it out. What happened? Car accident? Physics. 170 pound man falls 245 feet, quickly reaching a maximum velocity of 86 miles an hour before he hits the water 4 seconds later... which, I know, doesn't sound like a long time. But it's a frickin' eternity. And was this a suicide attempt? Yeah, at the most cliched spot on the planet... the golden Gate bridge. And you survived the fall. You... must be one in a million.
Close. About 1,200 people have jumped from the bridge. Conservative estimate... the current's so strong there, they assume more than that have jumped without being seen, have been swept out to sea or taken by sharks. Only about 40 of us have lived to tell the tale. Why'd you do it? Uh, what my partner means is, we're going to need a complete psychological picture before we can agree to operate on you. I don't mind talking about it. I'm as sane as the next guy. My psychiatrist agrees. You ever try and kill yourself? No. Uh, what about you, Dr. Troy? You know, I've had, uh, rough patches, but I guess I've always been able to... find pleasure in my life somehow. Well, that's lucky. Yeah. I guess I'm just kind of a naturally depressive personality. I guess, obvious. Just... life's just been kind of hard for a while. My son died of leukemia. He was 14 years old. You know, marriages don't survive that kind of thing. I just felt this kind of darkness building up inside me. The edges of it disappeared, and it felt like it kind of swallowed me up. Wasn't even painful anymore. Everything just was so hard. Except jumping. Jumping was easy. I remember, I didn't want anybody to see me go over the rail... like I didn't want to get in trouble somehow.
And I went over the rail, and there's a lip, and I stood there, and then, I just stepped... I mean, the way, you know, you step out of bed in the morning, I stepped. And I thought to my self, "no, not this. Go back. Stop. Go back!" By second 2, I knew I wanted to live. I've never been so sure of anything in my life. What did you do? Um, well, most of the people who've survived landed feet first. So I somehow managed to flip myself over and hit the water like a blade of grass. And it still felt like a cinderblock to the balls, though. Broke 2 vertebrae in my pelvis and, you know, obviously, the reason I'm here. Broke all 14 bones in your face, but your jaw is remarkably intact. Uh, Mr. Seabrook, we may not be able to make you look the way you looked before. I don't care about that. I just want to look normal. Jumping gave me a second chance to live my life, to follow my dreams. I want to go back to school, maybe become a therapist, start dating again. You know, maybe, uh... Maybe have another kid. You must be in a lot of pain. You know how they say when you die, your life flashes before your eyes? It's not true. You don't see all the things you've done. You see all the things you're never going to get a chance to do, all the opportunities you're going to lose. I didn't jump to my death. I jumped to my life. I just need you to help me to live it. Oh.
Baby, that feels so good. Ok. Come inside me. Well... Aren't you... No. I mean, no. I'm good. I don't need to. You do it. Come on. Oh! Oh, oh, my gosh, Sean! Oh! Oh, my God. Oh. Oh, my God. That was insane. Mmm. That was weird. Why? I'm not used to you not coming. I don't always need to come. Well... I do. Mmm. Honey, we're married. We have, like, a lifetime of orgasms ahead of us. We're good. It's good.
Oh. Mmm. Why stay with him? Are you suggesting that you and i... No. I want to know. Why stay with him, if it makes you so unhappy? I don't know. The same reason you do, I guess. Kind of feel sorry for the guy, huh? Unlucky bastard. He survived a fall from the golden Gate bridge. How is that unlucky? He went from being depressed and suicidal to completely delusional in 700 feet. He really thinks he's going to change his life now. And you don't believe him. How many times have you sworn off drinking and then wake up with a hangover? Same thing, right? Having a hangover and attempting suicide are not the same thing. You would know, I guess. What's that supposed to mean? I'm just saying that people don't change just because they think they're going to die and then get a second chance. You had cancer. You thought you were going to die. You're saying that didn't give you the courage to look at life a little differently? For about a week, yeah, maybe. All right? I think there's no way you can't change after something like that. So tell me, how is your life so different since you swam out to the buoy? At a certain age, you just accept who you are and stop thinking there's something better out there.
You're right. You haven't changed at all. You married Kimber, and you still screw around every chance you get. Which reminds me, I was having lunch at shutters the other day, picked up these 2 hot sisters who both want to go up 2 cup sizes. They're coming in on Thursday. Unbelievably hot, trust me. I told them that'd be cool. Is that cool with you? Why don't you finish up here? I forgot. I have a meeting i need to get to. We have a consult after this. Tell me what you don't like about yourself, Mr. Wise. Uh, don't get the wrong idea. I wasn't trying to kill myself. Mr. Wise, the gash around your neck was clearly made by a belt, probably spiked, from the sharp indentations left at perfectly spaced intervals. The skin's been ripped and twisted. Not a surprising consequence when you try to hang yourself. Kudos, Sherlock. Spiked belt it was, although you haven't solved the case just yet. I wasn't trying to commit suicide. I was masturbating. Autoerotic asphyxiation. Gone awry. My bad. I just need you to fix this so that I can stop wearing scarves and turtlenecks when it's 80 degrees outside. I liked you better when i thought you tried to kill yourself. You risk dying for an orgasm?
It wasn't just an orgasm, it was the orgasm of a lifetime. You have no idea. Cutting off the blood supply to the brain provides an amazing high. I do have an idea. It's better than any drug you've ever had... I've ever had. Includes quite an extensive list, I can tell you. Don't knock it if you ain't tried it, doc. Thanks, but, you know, I can usually find someone to help me out. Call it the perks of being married. Oh. Right. Been there. Divorced now. Look, all I'm saying is, you cut off the flow of blood and oxygen to the brain, your dick gets unbelievably hard. That's why these guys who are hung get these huge, stonking boners and ejaculate when they die. It's called induced... induced cerebral anoxia. I know. That's right. You get this euphoria. It's like having one foot in heaven. So, I take it you're going to continue with this practice even after i, uh, repair the damage to your neck? Don't worry, doc. I'll stick to silk ties from now on. Same high without the ring around the collar. Look, I'm asking you to fix this, not how I choose to come. Judge not, right? Excuse me. May I help you? Yeah.
I'm looking for Dr. Ryerson. Is he expecting you? We spoke earlier on the phone. I'm Sean McNamara. Oh! Dr. Mcnamara. Yes. I'm nsolo. Curtis told me you were coming by. You and your partner were the other recipients of the other Poland award this year. Congratulations. Follow me, please. Hey! Sean, thanks for coming. Hey, how was your drive? Just fine. Good. Let me know if there's anything you need while in San Diego, anything at all. Thanks. Nsolo stepped on a land mine in Angola. He was a beggar at the airport when we met him, and now, he practically runs the entire center when I'm on the road, which is about 10 months out of the year. Well, I'm glad you were in town. I've been wanting to see your operation since we talked in Miami. Well, here it is, in all its glamour. Not exactly Beverly Hills, but... That's a good thing.
So, uh... What's going on with Christian? Oh, he's still sucking the champagne and caviar out of life. After the ceremony, you guys took off so quickly, I thought maybe... sorry about that, Curtis. I had to jump on the next flight. There was an emergency back at the office. So... I cannot tell you how many trips I've had to cut short and hop on a plane. I remember once, crop duster came and picked us up on the serengeti on the way to a malaria outbreak in darfur. An angry herd of wildebeests chases us down the runway, I kid you not. Barely got out of there with our necks. Wow. The closest I've come to anything like that would be bumper-to-bumper on the 405 with Christian, who's in a bad mood 'cause he's late for his massage. That's why I called you. I'm here because... I want to help. So what can I do? Well, we are flying a 12-year-old girl in from Jakarta on Thursday. Her husband cut her in the face with a machete when she fought off his rape attempt. What we need is a surgeon and an o.r. Consider it done. You sure about this? I mean, maybe think about it, talk to Christian. No, I don't need to talk to Christian. Just something I want to do, something I probably should have done a long time ago. All right. Well, I'll set it up for Thursday.
Great. This is really going to make a difference, Sean. What are you doing? I want to make my baby happy. If my baby's not happy, then I'm not happy. I'm half asleep... look, just tell me what you want. Anything. I want you... don't worry about me. I'm fine. You don't seem fine to me. Come on. Ahh. Mmm. Ohh. Yeah. Get it, baby. Oh. What are you doing? Oh, trust me. Trust me. Trust me. Trust me. Trust me, baby. You got to trust me, ok? You're going to have the come of your life, I promise. Ok. Trust me. Oh. Look at me.
Look at me. You got to trust me. Oh. Ok? Ok. Oh. Oh. Oh! Oh! Oh, my God! Oh! Oh, my God. Yeah. Yeah. That's my baby. Next time, you do me, baby. Oh. Sorry, partner. I was performing a slipindicktomy. Are we in high school? You have to brag about having sex with your wife? We are not talking about sex, partner. I gave Kimmie the orgasm of her lifetime, ok? I mean, Kimmie's toes curled up like the wicked witch of the east, and it's all because of Mr. Wise in there. Seriously. I mean, we were having marital problems. The sex was all, you know, whatever. Anyway, I took his advice and tried erotic asphyxiation. You choked your wife? Ok, come on.
It's not like I'm o.j. Or something, all right? I know how to deal with the pressure. I'm a doctor. Oh, you're right. That's very romantic. Trust me. Kimber loved it. Not as much as you did, though. What's that supposed to mean? Everything is about power for you. You're not satisfied unless you're dominating your partner. You live your life with your hand on her throat, might as well screw her that way, too, right? Jeez, what's up your ass today, huh? Kimber deserves better than this. You know, if you're having problems, why don't you try talking about it? Ok, Mr. Marriage counselor guy. Ok. You're giving me advice, right? Last time I checked, you've been divorced... how many times? Same as me, right? And since when do you care about Kimber so much? Guys, are you clean enough? The guy's been under for 6 minutes. Hey. Sean... Sean... no, no, no, no. No... don't talk. Don't talk. Ow.
Mmm. Isn't that what you like now? No. Sean. Sean! Ugh! Sean, stop it! Jesus. Kimber... Hey, look. I know about the choking. He told me. I just want to know if you're ok. It's fine. It's not as bad as it looks. Oh. You should get somebody to look at that, you know? Sean, stop it. I really... i really don't want you to touch me right now, ok? I came here because we need to stop doing this. Ok. Ok? Just ok? What do you want me to say? "Stay, we can work it out"? Well, I would have thought maybe you'd have a little bit more feeling than that, or for me. It's never what this was about. You know that. Ok. Then I guess that's it.
