14x09 - Broken Wing

[bunniefuu]

You guys, this is too much.

It's not too much.

You'd do the same for us.

[Sighs]

I don't know about that, but...

This is...

This is great.

It's good. It's good to be home.

Finally.

Come on, it's good. I'm good.

Don't I look good?

I'm putting on some weight.

I have curves now... Again, which is nice.

Maybe we should stay with you tonight.

I mean, we could stay, right?

Absolutely, we can stay.

No. No way.

I am good.

Besides, the kids are coming in the morning.

I have to get up early.

Do you have a plan?

Oh, my god, do I?

We're gonna go for a hike, lunch at their favorite burger place.

Oh, and the ball game on Friday...

No, no, no, no. Bonnie...

Do you have a plan to get through tonight?

I've got a list of people I can call.

Bon, you need more than a list.

Why didn't they put you on Suboxone?

They did. I wanted to get off of it.

Because, yeah, it helps, but...

At a certain point, it's just another drug you have to kick. Right?

I'll be fine. I promise.

I love you, and I'm proud of you. Ok?

Ok.

And I love you, too.

Ok.

Bye.

Bye.

Lewis: And that is why the BAU finds that recidivism rates capture only a small percentage of all of the crimes that repeat sex offenders commit.

So, what can we do?

Well, for starters, we can work to address the backlog of... r*pe kits at the state and local levels.

This is a massive amount of forensic evidence that we can use to study them, their patterns, their habits, so that they can never hurt anyone again.

Thank you so much for your time.

Good night.

Woman: Thank you so much. Thank you.

Tara: Thanks for coming. Thank you.

That was a great presentation.

You only saw the last seconds.

Well, I've seen it before.

The Ted talk you gave is on YouTube.

"Daryl? Wow, it's been years.

What are you up to?"

"Well, I got my doctorate finally."

"You did?" "Yeah, I did

in addiction treatment modalities."

"Wow, that's great. Good for you." "Thanks."

Listen, I saw your name on the visiting speaker list, so...

Will you listen to me for just a second?

Hands off.

I need your help.

Well, I've heard that one before, Daryl.

Good night.

Look, this isn't about me.

I've been working in recovery and people are overdosing.

Well, I'm sorry, but you know better than anyone, that is a part of the disease of addiction.

Yeah, it is, but this is different.

I think someone's k*lling them.

Did you talk to the LAPD?

Yeah, I did, and they gave me a colder shoulder than you just did.

Look. Give me minutes?

Let me show you what I've found,

scientist to scientist.

You got married.

Yeah. I did. Last year.

Good for you. I mean it.

Um, she's actually the one that suggested that I reach out to you.

minutes.

Great. My office is right across campus.

[Sighs]

[Inhales and exhales slowly]

Fake it till you make it.

Fake it till you make it.

Fake it till you make it.

Fake it till you make it.

Fake it till you make it.

Fake it till you make it.

Fake it till you make it.

[Inhales and exhales slowly]

Hi. It's me.

Um... I'm not... I'm not feelin' so hot.

I was wondering, uh...

Could you come over?

Like right now?

Thank you.

Prentiss: Tara, go ahead. We're all here.

Guys, thanks for coming in. I know it's late.

There's been a strange spike in questionable opiate overdose deaths here in Los Angeles, and I think it's worth us taking a look.

We are right now. What do you see?

Lewis: Well, of the most recent cluster of ODs, there are cases that look suspicious.

All of them d*ed within hours of completing rehab.

Rossi: There are a lot of explanations besides homicide, though.

Yeah, most addicts go back to their original dose from before they kicked.

And their bodies can't tolerate it.

They go into shock.

Or their heroin could be laced with Fentanyl, which is to times more potent.

They only use a little, and that's all it takes to k*ll them.

Except we're not talking about heroin users here.

Arm tied off, fresh needle marks, complete system shutdown.

They look like heroin overdoses to me.

I'm talking about the reason they went to rehab in the first place.

They all checked in for different problems: cocaine, methamphetamine, alcohol.

But after treatment, they all d*ed of a heroin overdose.

At least that's the pattern that was presented to me.

Rossi: That is odd.

Most addicts relapse on their original drug of choice.

Tara, who presented this case to you?

Uh... a Dr. Daryl Wright.

He's my... he's my ex-husband.

He's your what what what?

Lewis: Look, guys, if there's no case, there's no case,

but I still would like to investigate this on my own.

No, you have a case. We're on our way.

So... Tara was married?

Please...

It's...

It's too much.

Don't leave.

Don't leave me.

[Door opens]

Don't...

Lewis: "If you don't know someone" who's had a problem with addiction, you will."

Dana Boente.

Prentiss: So the challenge of this case is determining if these victims are overdosing by their own hand or against their will.

Any overlap, Garcia?

Garcia: So, as you know, all men and women d*ed within a day of completing various inpatient addiction treatments, but that's the only common denominator.

The spectrum of treatments is bafflingly varied...

From tried-and-true methods to equine therapy and hot yoga to get the monkey off your back.

Less -step and more day spa.

Simmons: And there was one center in Oklahoma that forced its patients to work in a chicken coop.

Basically indentured servitude.

Since most insurance carriers cover rehab, treatment centers have been popping up all over the place, all without any consistent medical standards.

Prentiss: Then assuming we have an unsub, he has a target-rich environment in which to hunt.

His victims are vulnerable, and nobody bats an eye when they OD.

Garcia: I've just been notified of what I think is our most recent potential victim.

Name is Bonnie Sullivan. I'm sending you information now.

J.J., Dave, go to the M.E., see if she matches our victimology.

Matt, Luke, go to her home.

Conduct a psychological autopsy.

See if she was susceptible to overdose or su1c1de.

I'll set up with the L.A. division.

Well... Bonnie Sullivan makes ...

Unfortunately.

Yeah, and Bonnie was a tweaker.

- [Cell phone rings]
- She'd go out on meth, not heroin.

Well, that's not necessarily true.

I mean, stimulant-depressant speedballs have k*lled everybody from John Belushi to Philip Seymour Hoffman,

But it is a pattern that we should continue.

[Buzzing]

Daryl, just call your wife back. It's fine.

It's not my wife.

It's... guy I'm sponsoring wants to know if I've heard anything about Sarah.

Wait. Sarah Fielding? You know her?

Yeah. I took her through all steps.

And I'm telling you, she... she didn't relapse.

That's why I started looking into this.

So you're finally into sponsoring other addicts.

That's, um... that's good.

How long have you been sober this time?

years.

What was it that took?

I met my wife.

She in the program?

No. She's a normie, and...

She can have a glass of wine like a normal person, and it doesn't bother me.

Tara, look...

You know what, this tox screen on Bonnie Sullivan, it's... it's odd.

Is it consistent with the other victims?

What tox screen?

This tox screen. It doesn't make any sense.

You tested for dozen opiates, and you didn't get a positive?

No. Her stomach contents did test positive for coffee mixed with a benzodiazepine, but that wouldn't cause the body to shut down like this.

Jareau: Could be his M.O.

The benzo could make her compliant enough for him to inject her with whatever it is he's using.

That brings us to our second secret discovery of the day.

Take a look at this.

It's the only marking on her whole body, which is odd for addicts who...

Speaking in gross stereotypes...

Love, love, love to ink themselves.

None of this means it wasn't consensual.

The coffee, the benzo, the hidden drug, the hidden tattoo.

Even if someone did all that to her, she might have wanted it.

That's why I can't call it homicide yet.

When it comes to dr*gs,

I've see more bizarre deaths by misadventure than this.

Yeah, so have we.

Alvez: What have you got?

Simmons: Well, no signs of a break-in.

No signs of a struggle either.

Yeah, but look at this.

Got tickets to tomorrow night's Lakers game.

She has, what, kids?

Yeah. Got hiking today, basketball game tomorrow.

What does that tell you?

She wasn't withdrawing from family or isolating herself...

No precursor behavior that would point to su1c1de or relapse.

Funny thing about relapse.

Sometimes there's no precursor.

That's why they say you're powerless over your disease.

[Sighs] Look at this.

Bonnie made a call just after midnight.

Well, midnight is not a good time of the night for most addicts.

No. No, it's not.

So who did she call?

Man: It couldn't be a dealer. Has to be Vincent.

Who's Vincent?

Her old boyfriend.

He's the one that got her addicted.

Do you have a last name?

No. He was always just "that bastard Vincent" to me.

Does Vincent use or have access to opiates?

They appear to be the cause of death.

No. They only smoked meth together.

Are you certain?

She never used injection dr*gs?

Yeah.

Bonnie hated needles.

She wouldn't touch them.

Thank you. This has been very helpful.

Agent Prentiss...

[Sighs] Her kids.

What do we tell them?

When it's appropriate, tell them the truth.

Bonnie didn't overdose by her own hand.

She was m*rder*d.

Man: Why are you doing this to me?

Second man: You're not doing the work, Clay.

I'm doing the work. Molly, tell him!

He's on step . He's sharing.

I don't know what more you want.

It's not enough.

What is?

That's for you to figure out.

Fact that my insurance won't

cover more than days here.

That's what's not enough!

Man: That has nothing to do with it.

Now you're just making up more excuses.

You don't care about us.

This place... Doesn't care...

About any of us!

Woman: He won't make it. He's not ready.

How can you do this to him?

It was a staff decision, Molly.

We were working harder on Clay's sobriety than he was.

That's not recovery.

That's enabling.

Who feels like sharing next?

We got it, Emily. Thanks.

So this could be a possible signature for our unsub.

It looks like a wing.

If this is a signature, that means he does it to all his victims, right?

Yeah. We would have to check all the other victims, and some of them may have already been buried or cremated.

It's gonna take time.

What about the drug? Any leads there?

None. Whatever this guy's using,

it doesn't show up on any tox screens.

Hmm...

What?

You remember when you made me pee in a cup so you could test me?

You mean my proudest moment as a wife? Yeah.

Well, I cheated the test.

All right, Daryl, I'll bite.

How'd you cheat?

Cutting-edge chemistry.

Prentiss: Garcia, did you find the research chemicals Tara was talking about?

Garcia: Did I!

What are research chemicals?

They're chemical cousins of dr*gs,

easy to buy off the 'net from China, mostly.

They'd normally be illegal under the controlled substances act.

Garcia: Only they're not, thanks to some very imaginative lab rats who modified the molecules so they don't show up on tox screens, hence the term "research chemicals."

Also, they're hella-potent.

And when the lab knew what it was looking for, Bonnie's tox screen lit up like a sad, high Christmas tree.

Alvez: Doesn't make sense, though.

We're in the middle of an opiate crisis.

Why go through all that trouble to synthesize fake ones?

Because he's a forensically sophisticated serial k*ller. That's why. If you're an unsub and we can't even identify the drug you're using...

You stay in the shadows.

Prentiss: And our best lead, Bonnie's ex-boyfriend Vincent.

He's out. He's serving years for a botched robbery to pay for his habit.

Simmons: He doesn't fit our profile anyway.

It looks like someone is punishing addicts because he thinks they're gonna relapse.

He could be a moral enforcer or former addict who sees them as weak and not worthy to live.

Or the obvious. k*lling is his addiction.

He could be in recovery like his victims, only he's found a new drug.

I'm not ready.

I told them that, and they just threw me out like I was trash.

Want some more coffee, Clay?

[Sniffs] No. I've had enough.

It's not fair, is it?

[Sniffs] No. It's not.

So, what do they want from me?

They say, "in order to be sober",

"you have to be willing to stand on your head if that's what it..."

[Breathing hard]

"Takes."

[Breathing hard]

I was... I was willing.

I was willing.

Nobody...

Nobody believed.

[Crash]

To be fair...

I don't believe you either.

[Groggily] No...

N-no...

[Muffled] Mmm... mmm...

[Grunting]

Shh... shh...

Shh...

Victim's name is Clay Miller.

And if the unsub followed pattern, this might have some DNA on it, so we'll test for dr*gs and M-Vac for DNA.

Thank you.

What does the victim tell us?

Hold on a second, guys.

Definitely our unsub.

Perfect match to our last victim.

But there's more. Look at this.

Petechial hemorrhaging, but no ligatures or signs of strangulation.

He was smothered.

That's an escalation.

Suffocation is up close and personal.

Right, but we found the needle mark,

so Clay was gonna OD ayway.

Why the change?

Was Clay just discharged?

Yeah. Yesterday from... Sweetwater Springs rehab.

Let's get JJ and Alvez over there.

Man: That's everything we have on him, his intake evaluation, notes from the staff, everything.

Ok, can you tell us who he was close to in here?

No one. He was a loner.

He didn't do the work.

That's why we kicked him out.

Alvez: You kicked him out?

He didn't complete the program on his own?

That could be what attracts our unsub to his victims.

Yeah, it could be.

Quick question. Clay's insurance ran out yesterday.

Yeah.

And that had nothing to do with his discharge?

Terminal uniqueness.

That's why we let Clay go.

It's called terminal uniqueness.

What happens to a junkie who thinks he's exceptional?

He relapses. It's inevitable.

You guys FBI?

SSA Jareau and Alvez.

You are?

I'm Dr. Rob Smith. I run this place.

Phil here told me you've been asking some questions.

He's also not at liberty to give you Clay's file without permission from me or a warrant from you.

Privacy issues. You understand.

Doctor-patient privilege doesn't apply postmortem.

I'm talking about my privacy as a small business owner with centers around the city.

Jareau: Ok, well, we're trying to find a pattern

for a k*ller who is overdosing patients the day after they finish treatment, and now your centers might be our nexus.

I highly doubt it because you have

a fundamental misunderstanding

of what you're investigating.

You're focusing on the overdose. That's a symptom.

But what's underneath every decision

to pick up the Martini shaker, chop out a line, tie off an arm...

Selfishness.

Addicts are selfish,

and though I don't hate my patients,

I do hate their selfishness.

And if they don't like that, they can go off to their alley and die.

Because there are people here who want what we have,

unlike our dear departed terminally unique Clay.

[Cracks knuckles] So...

I think we're done here, Agents.

Alvez: I think it's time to turn Garcia's spotlight on Dr. Smith.

- What do you think?
- Oh, hell, yeah.

Hey, uh, give me a sec.

Hey, I'm JJ with the FBI.

I know. I'm Molly.

I'm sorry about Clay.

Me too.

Uh, you think you could help us out, Molly?

Maybe come down to the office, answer some questions?

I'm on lockdown. I'm not allowed off the premises.

But take this.

It's a journal.

I don't know if that's what you're looking for,

but if you want to know Clay, the real Clay,

read that.

Thank you.

We need to go see Tara.

Wright: I... I don't know when I'll be home.

Might be late.

Hey, uh, I'm sorry I was late.

Well, you're worth waiting up for.

Especially tonight because we have something to celebrate.

Shut up.

Shut up!

Say hello to the soon-to-be Dr. Daryl Wright.

I love you so much.

[Clink]

[Both chuckle]

Love you, too.

How's your wife?

Ooh, check out the profiler.

[Chuckles]

What... what are you doing?

Well, with something as personal as a signature like this,

I like to trace it with my non-dominant hand,

and it helps me see things that my rational mind might miss.

So, you... see anything?

Well, it's not a stamp.

It was hand-drawn in UV ink.

You know what that reminds me of?

Those UV stamps we used to get at that club near Dartmouth

when we were grad students.

Oh, my god!

Yeah, we wouldn't wash the back of our hands

so we could go back free the next time. Ha ha!

And I saved your ass there one night.

You were so trashed.

No, no. I was not trashed.

I was buzzed, and there's a distinct difference.

I had to drag you out of there.

You were screaming, "which one of you sorority b*tches wants to fight?"

Ha! Uh...

- [Glass breaks]
- Aah!

Listen to me, you stupid bitch.

Get your hands off me right now!

Aah!

Yeah. That story's not funny anymore.

Why not?

That night was incredible.

Yeah, but then the next week, you...

I what?

You don't remember.

The worst moment of our marriage,

the worst moment of my life.

The moment I knew we were over,

and you can't even be bothered to remember.

Tara, there was a lot of stuff I did back then that I just can't...

Stop it. Stop it.

No. Please.

- I need to say...
- Shut up.

I...

I need a second.

I need to call my sponsor.

Yeah. You should do that.

Alvez: What did you find out about Dr. Robert Smith?

Garcia: First of all, he's not a medical doctor.

He has his doctorate in business

from a non-accredited online university.

So, he's actually more like ex-con Rob Smith,

'cause I'm sending you his criminal record now.

Well, they're mostly drug and as*ault charges,

but he did some time for manslaughter.

"b*at a guy to death for calling him a failure."

Garcia: Calling him a slumlord would also work,

because as I was hacking and slashing through the financial machinations

of the sort-of-terrible, not-good-at-all doctor,

I discovered that of our victims went to his treatment centers.

Alvez: So we're dealing with someone

that has a history of v*olence and drug abuse.

He also hates addicts who don't work as hard as he does.

They make him feel like a failure, just like the guy he k*lled.

Prentiss: He's looking more and more like our unsub.

Bring him in for questioning.

Where is it?

Phil, where is it?

We've looked everywhere.

We found everyone's journal except Clay's.

Bring her in and close the door.

Molly.

Have a seat.

What did you do, Molly?

I don't know what you're t...

Don't... don't lie to me.

Clay's journal.

Did you give it to the FBI?

Tell me the truth, and I can still help you!

[Door opens]

Rob Smith, we need you to come with us.

Ok. Let me get my coat.

I'm on him!

You ok?

Oof!

You're under arrest.

For a man who's all about accountability,

you don't show much.

- You guys don't get it.
- Well, what we have

are victims from your rehabs.

Alvez: And you destroying evidence.

And you running from us, so what don't we get, Rob?

Why would I be k*lling my customers...

When I could be making money off them instead?

Simmons: Rob Smith is a con man

and he doesn't give a crap about his patients,

but he is not our unsub.

His whole business model counts on his patients relapsing.

He doesn't offer any significant medical or therapeutic treatment.

He wants them to rehab and relapse so he can charge their insurance repeatedly.

Alvez: He was worried that Clay and the others

were writing about it in their journals.

That's why he wanted to hide them from us.

Well, that takes motive off the table.

Prentiss: Did we get the other victims' journals with a warrant?

Yeah, we did.

Prentiss: We need to go through them page by page.

I think there's a victimology connection that we're missing.

Tara's already started.

You are not gonna believe this.

I think Clay wrote about the unsub in his journal, and...

- Hi.
- Hi.

I'm Mary. I'm, uh...

His wife. I know.

Where's Daryl?

He's uh...

He's a little upset...

At what he couldn't remember about what he did to you.

[Sighs]

Can... um, can we sit?

Yeah. Of course.

[Sighs]

Do you know the th of the steps?

I... I do.

Um... we made amends to those we harmed.

Unless doing so would injure them or others.

Daryl wanted to reach out to you to make amends,

but his sponsor said, "leave your ex-wife alone. Let her live her life."

Make your amends by doing better next time."

It looks like he has.

But... it bothered him,

not saying a simple "I'm sorry".

Until he stumbled upon people who were being m*rder*d that... that...

That this was how he could make his amends?

Only now he feels like he's made it worse.

If you could just tell me how you feel about all this,

we could help him get past it.

I just... I see what he has now,

what you have with him, and...

- And you're jealous.
- No.

No. I'm confused.

I k*lled myself to help him get clean.

Why couldn't he get sober with me?

I don't know.

But if it helps, I live scared every day.

That he'll relapse?

No. That he'll leave me for...

The way he talks about you.

He still loves you.

I don't want that.

I'm happy for him.

I'm really happy for you both,

but I do need him. Give that to him.

It'll tell him that he was right all along

and that I need his help to stop this k*ller.

Ok.

Prentiss: We have instances on our end, Garcia.

How many did you find?

Garcia: so far. References of broken wings, angels,

and the like across all journals.

of the victims say it's a metaphor for addiction

suggested by one of the staff.

That staff member could be our unsub.

But, Garcia, we ruled out the rehab staff, didn't we?

Yeah. Everybody on the books, anyway.

The unsub's use of modified opiates

may mean he's medically sophisticated.

It could be someone on the nursing staff that Smith pays indirectly.

Now the question is, will Smith help us?

Matt, Luke, see if you can get the temporary payroll information from Smith.

Garcia, start digging into temp and traveling nurses just in case.

Affirmative.

Man: Nice try, Agents,

but Dr. Smith's cooperation

only extends to your m*rder investigation.

How he pays his employees is off-limits.

It's the same investigation. He's hiding a k*ller.

[Scoffs] We're done.

How do you think it's gonna affect your brand

when we reveal that you employed someone who thought it was

ok to m*rder the very people you say you're trying to help?

Smith: You know what I think?

I think I'm going to call a meeting.

Have a sit-down with Molly, take her inventory.

That's a thr*at.

Smith: Hope you catch this guy. I really do.

So take it easy, fellas.

And when you need to get off steroids, come see me.

[Clucks tongue]

Geez... they all wrote about their k*ller.

Yeah, and now we have a pretty good idea of who this guy is,

from a profiling perspective anyway.

He's an angel of mercy.

Like a doctor or nurse who kills their patients?

Exactly. Elizabeth Wettlaufer believed God wanted her to k*ll.

Donald Harvey k*lled his patients to ease their pain.

Angels of mercy have the highest body counts

because they hunt in places where people typically die.

Yeah.

For this guy, it's all about the broken wing.

He gets them to see themselves this way,

and if they buy in and he believes they're truly broken,

they're never gonna get better,

I have to k*ll them to end their suffering.

Freeze.

What?

You still have yours.

Have what?

Y-yeah. I, um...

Yeah.

I keep mine because it's a...

Reminder of the wreckage of my past.

Tara, I...

You know, maybe he does, too.

I think that's what we've been missing here.

I don't get it.

Well, look, this guy, he inks his victims.

They're his signatures, his trophies,

but he wouldn't stop there.

You... you think he'd sign himself, too?

Look at the design.

It's one-half of a broken wing. Right?

I'm thinking he puts the other half on his body.

And that way, the wings are whole after his victims die.

They're complete.

[Buzzing]

[Buzzing stops]

I think this is the best one yet.

Check it out.

Man: Good.

Clay... he was...

special.

My insurance isn't up. I still have another weeks.

Molly, Molly, Molly.

What did you think was gonna happen?

You put your needs ahead of the group.

We can't tolerate that.

Rob, I don't think...

Oh, I... I think so.

No.

Phil. Phil, you know this isn't right.

Molly: Phil!

It's unfortunate.

How can they do this?

I don't know. I'm really sorry.

I'm gonna end up like Clay. I know it.

If you're that worried about it, I can give you a ride,

if that'll help.

Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, are you sure?

Yeah, I'm sure.

I do this job so I can help people.

Thank you.

Let me get that.

Garcia, we got your list of freelance nursing staff,

but did you cross-reference credit card records

with local tattoo parlors?

Yeah, I'm doing that now.

It looks like the freelancers were paid via some

national traveling nurses association.

Rossi: Focus on temporary hires

that fall in line with the rehabs Smith visits day by day.

Look for overlap between the two.

Garcia: Ok. I can see the matrix, people.

- [Beeping]
- Ah! There it is!

Uh, nurse of the male variety... Douglas Knight.

sessions at local tattoo parlors,

all within hours of each death.

Here's his work and home address.

Great work. Copy Tara on what you found.

Wright: This guy lost his wife Daphne years ago to an overdose.

That's what we call a stressor.

So why didn't he start k*lling years ago?

Well, because the trigger came later.

Does it say when he started working at Rob Smith's rehab houses?

Yeah, a couple years later.

Ok, in Al-Anon, since I couldn't help you,

I was told to look for the next person that I could help.

Maybe Douglas Knight did the same.

And he became a rehab nurse,

and he was surrounded by patients like his wife.

Right. Right. So he helped and helped until he broke.

That was his trigger.

Now he thinks he's putting these people out of their misery.

So we just sit here and wait?

No. I have a better idea.

Emily, did you find him yet?

[Crying]

No, no, no, no!

Aah...

This is what's best.

You'll see.

I'm doing this out of love.

Hey, where is Douglas Knight?

Is the FBI looking to get sued or what?

Douglas works for you. We need to find him right now.

Phil: He escorted Molly Witt out of the building.

- Phil, shut up!
- No!

This is over.

You won't have to feel any more pain.

You won't have to hurt anymore,

you won't hurt anyone else. Please, no!

But I will always remember you.

Douglas Knight? FBI!

Knight: You don't belong here!

Prentiss: Douglas, just wait...

And listen.

Lewis: Douglas, I know what it's like to lose someone to this disease.

I know what it's like to lose someone to this disease.

All your hopes and your dreams for the future

destroyed in the face of something that you can't predict.

...and you can't control.

Sometimes, I wanted to shake the man I loved.

I'd even get into fistfights with him...

Because I wanted him to see how much he'd hurt me,

until it got so bad that I had to let him go.

Even though that meant possibly...

Probably letting him die.

You know what that feels like, don't you?

Yes.

Yes, I do.

Douglas, this disease...

It's impossible.

...impossible to cure, impossible to predict,

but so many people eventually make it.

All I can say is, you have to give them a chance.

And Molly deserves that chance.

...because her disease isn't k*lling her.

You are.

You need to let her go.

Let her go.

Molly! I'm gonna give you a sh*t of naloxone.

It's gonna save your life, but it won't feel good.

[Gasps]

Ok, there you are. Ok.

All right. We got you.

It's beautiful, isn't it?

Beautiful.

Hey.

Thank you for believing in me.

I've told so many lies, I wouldn't have trusted me.

[Sighs]

Don't mess it up this time...

With Mary, all right?

I don't intend to.

And Mary told me a little bit about what you guys talked about,

about me not getting sober for you.

But, in a way, I did, because...

When you left me, that's when I hit rock bottom.

That's when I knew I couldn't go on that way anymore, and, uh...

My amends to you is not...

To say "I'm sorry," although I am.

It's to tell you that, uh...

You saved my life.

And, uh...

Hands off. I get it.

But, um...

Get in here, dummy.
