01x06 - How Does It Feel to Be So Beautiful

[bunniefuu]

Previously on "Clarice"...



CLARICE: Angela Bird, Tess Laughty, Sandra Bishop, and Rebecca Clark-Sherman.

They were not random victims of a serial k*ller.

Those women were whistleblowers, and Rebecca was gonna tell their story.

RUTH: Catherine thinks you're the only one who can help her.

Please start returning her calls.

- Can you sleep?

- [Gasps]



Or do moths wake you up?



There's no one for you.

- Just me.

- [Gasps]

Separating was about stopping drinking, and I have.

The kids stay with me.

And no judge in America is gonna say any different.

Rebecca was looking for a Dr.

Marilyn Felker, who was the lead physician at the Lockyer Labs clinical trials the whistleblowers were in.

We wanted to talk to you about your sister.

We may be twins, but Marilyn and I haven't spoken in a few years now.

[Gasps]

MAN:

Get me whatever the FBI knows.

The reporter... Rebecca Clark-Sherman.

- [Paddles whining]

- Tell me everything she told you about me and the clinical trials.

- She didn't say anything.

- Sure, she did.

FBI! There was a man.

I couldn't see his face.

CLARICE: I wasn't dreaming.

ARDELIA: No.

It happened.

I see you.

I hear you.

It happened.

There was a man there.

He hit me.

I just...

I couldn't...

I can't remember his face.

That's not unusual.

But if we're gonna find him...

Oh, believe me.

I'll find him.

You dug in and held on to a piece of him.

He can't hide.

He's there, under your nails.

His DNA.

Mandy's been meeting with every divorce lawyer in the District.

He reached out.

And he's well recommended.

I hope that means he's a prick.

He has a reputation.

Congressman Gant sent a letter demanding an audit of the DOJ.

- Yeah.

Clarice, what are you doing here?

Afternoon, ma'am.

I was wondering if you could spare a few minutes.

Sure.

If I over-rule Krendler, and all existing protocols, by the way, I risk putting you out there when you're far from %.

You need to take a minute.

Ma'am, I know what I need, and it is not to take a minute.

- But it's not about you.

- No, it's not.

It's about justice for those whistleblowers, but they don't get to fight for it.

- I'm still here.

- Barely.

You're practically a martyr to the victims.

Respectfully, isn't that why you brought me in, ma'am?

You're pretty savvy for a country girl.

Not savvy enough to see that you should stop avoiding Catherine.

I know she's still calling you.

Why won't you talk to her?

I suspect it would do you both good to talk to someone who's...

been there.

I don't think I can help her.

You could certainly try.

If you're asking me to risk my reputation on your behalf, then you can damn well come to dinner.

We're here regarding Marilyn Felker.

We're looking for an associate of hers and anyone at your company she may have been connected to.

Agents, we have every intention of cooperating with any investigation that you're putting forward, but it's our policy that investigators must comply with investigative norms, which include the procurement of subpoenas and warrants.

Wow.

The assistant U.S. Attorney there is expecting you and can help you with those subpoenas.

Thanks for your time.

You know, they're pumping her full of stuff, and she's crying, not because it hurts, not because her hair's falling out or she's turning green or her teeth are...

She's crying because she's scared if she lives, to have a baby.

She's afraid that her body's scorched-earth radioactive, and Big Pharma says, "No.

Just wait two years after chemo.

Wait five years after chemo, and you won't have a monster." She's crying, and they're telling her everything's gonna be fine.

"You don't have to give up your dream of having a family.

But your baby might have congenital problems.

Or your baby might die after six months." So she's apologizing to her parents.

I'm watching him die.

He's bleeding from the mouth.

He's saying, "How does it feel to be so beautiful?"

CATHERINE: Hello?

Hello?! Are you alive, you bitch?!

[Crying continues]

Hello?! Please, God, are you alive?

CLARICE: How could I have seen this?

LI: Why?

Because the darkness felt so much thicker than this.

Then let it go dark.

Crawl.

Crawl for your life.

There's a man up ahead.

Don't look away.

I'm not.

I'm not looking away.

Do you see him?

[Exhales sharply]

Yes.

Do you see him clearly?

I see...

I see his face.

[Gasps]

Do you know him?

♪♪ No.

KRENDLER: I know it's gonna be a fight, but I'd like to inflict as little damage as possible.

It's no way for my kids to live, seeing their mother like that.

I want sole custody.

HUDLIN: [Crunching]

I'd like to retain you.

- I'm grateful, Paul.

- [Bag crinkles]
