09x04 - Delicate

Post by bunniefuu »

In new york city's
w*r on crime,

The worst criminal offenders
are pursued

By the detectives
of the major case squad.

These are their stories.

- Having problems
with that foot again?

- What?
- Oh, I'm sorry.

Your alignment's all off--
I just assumed....

Never mind.

Thanks, background.

- I told you not
to call me that.

- But that's what you are.

- [claps]

All right, places.

Ten days till curtain.
Lots of work to do.

I'd like to see jessalyn
up first.

Are you ready? And...
[snaps fingers]

[dramatic ballet music]

- Reach up. Good.

Forward and back
to jete.

Nice.
One, two, down, go.

- [groans]
- stop. You see that?

[music stops]
see how she hesitated?

- But my foot--
I--

- Jessalyn, no excuses.
Fall back. You're not ready.

- Please,
let me try again.

- You're...Not...Ready.

Take over.

[snaps fingers]
and...

[music plays]
good.

[voice on tape]
yes. Beautiful.

See how she's centered
and almost floating midair?

[music paused]
it's delicate and powerful

All at the same time.

Now, let's learn
from each other.

[music plays]
riley, assess jessalyn.

- Well, her legs are straining.

- Fair. What else?

- And her head's
not centered, so...

- Her problem is that
she's terrified.

I mean,
look at those eyes.

She's totally holding back.

- Okay, and why do you think
that is?

- She blames everything--
her foot, all of us.

She needs to just suck it up
and do the work herself.

[jessalyn breathing
erratically]

- Jessalyn, it's okay.

- It's bad enough my parents
diss me all the time.

Now her!

- No, no, it will get better.
You'll see.

- No...
Not while that bitch is here.

[passionate breathing]
- you're so good.

You're so good.

- Yeah, I know.
- You're so good.

You're so good.
- I know.

- You're so good.
[moaning]

[catching breath]

Stay with me.
- I can't.

- Who--
who is it this time?

That wannabe dj kid?

- You don't own me.

- Oh, I'm sorry.
Am I upsetting you?

- It's just that I'd hate
for this to end badly.

- Who is this? Huh?
Who is this?

Do you think I'm an idiot?
Let's go.

- Let go of me.
- Let's go!

- Let go of me!

- Let's go.

- Cole, let go of me!

- Aah!
Get in the car.

- Let go of me.

Don't ever grab me
like that again.

- Who the hell is this "e"
calling you?

- It doesn't matter.

- Long as we're together,
it does!

- We're done.

- What do you mean we're done?
Come here.

[laughing]
come and catch me.

- Aah!

- [laughing]

- [grunts]
alona. Alona!

[clatter]

- What now?

- Custodians found her
around 7:00 a.M.

She's a student here
at the schuman.

Her name's alona landau.

- [sniffing]
hmm.

She was doing
some heavy drinking last night.

Yeah, she reeks
of alcohol.

- There's an obvious blow
from something with an edge.

- Mm-hmm.
- Her clothes are intact.

Slight bruising
on the pelvic bone,

But no blood,
no obvious signs of r*pe.

- All right,
look at these legs.

Very well-toned
and muscular.

Looks like a dancer.

T.O.D.?

- Well, by rigor
and lividity,

I would guess between 1:00
and 4:00 a.M.

Look how she's flat on her back,
body almost concave.

Landed
with the velocity of--

- Of somebody
who was pushed.

- I'm guessing she knew them.

- Yeah, she must have known
a whole bunch of people

Right here at the schuman.

A good place to start.

- Get it done. Go.
Do it now.

- Excuse me,
is this your class?

- Ethan johns,
department head.

I'm pretty busy.
What's up?

- Your student, alona landau,
was m*rder*d

On campus last night.

- Let's, uh,
talk somewhere private.

- Shall we?

- So gifted.

I can't believe this.

- Some people might have
envied her...Gift.

Anybody that you'd describe
as her enemy?

- People come here
to perfect their art.

And students clash
as part of the process.

- I see. Was clashing part
of yesterday's process?

- We had evaluations,
rehearsals...

Everything was fine.
Are we about done?

I have a roomful of students
I have to deal with.

- We'll be done when you tell us
what you did last night.

- [chuckles]

I'm done when I decide
to stop speaking.

But in the interest
of cooperation,

I was here,
as I am every night,

Honing our performance.

- Was there anybody with you?
- Yes.

My set designer,
till about 2:00 a.M.

Now, I have a roomful
of dancers

Who need me more
than you do.

- "people come here
to perfect their art."

What a pompous idiot.

- Yeah, let's,
let's go see how alona lived

While perfecting her art.

- Well, I owe my daughter
an apology.

Her room is pristine
next to this.

What's that smell?

There's a sickly sweet smell,
like rotten fruit.

- Yeah, it's something--
what is that?

It's like, uh...
Is it cheap rfume?

- I don't think so.
She shopped like an heiress,

Not a student.

You got chanel,
hermes, la mer.

- Huh...

- Hmm...What's this?

Someone was stroking
this girl's

Already healthy
self-esteem.

Clearly, she thought
a lot of herself.

- Well, you have to,
getting into a school like this.

- I almost went here myself.

My parents considered me
a piano prodigy.

- Must've been fun.

- Uh, it was tolerable,

If you exclude
command performances

At all their cocktail parties.

- Ooh.

- [sniffs]

What is that--
a vomit stain.

What's all this?
What, is she fighting

A flu or a stomach thing?

- I'd guess purging.
I had a good friend who danced.

What they do
to their bodies,

They practically t*rture
themselves.

- Yeah?
Well, not tortured enough

To skip a party.

So leco...Cole?

We understand that you were at
this club last night with alona,

And the bouncer there
told us that

You got a little bit, uh,
rough.

- He said she was kicking
and screaming,

Trying to get away from you.
- I don't care what he said.

I loved alona.
- Your love do that?

Looks pretty fresh.

- What we had together
was hot.

- Hmm, so if we find your dna,
no surprise.

- Look, there was some guy
named "e"

That kept calling her
over at the club.

That's why we fought.

- Oh, that's
a nice jacket, eh?

Jeez, it looks like a tear.

A little scrape.
This happen during the fight?

- Tore it when I fell over
a curb.

- Right.

- Before I came home,
I went to il vento's.

They know me at the bar.
I was there for a while.

- We're going to take this.
Okay? Thank you.

- Look, I didn't do this.

All right?

I cared about alona.

I gave her something
that no one

At that school ever could.

- Oh, yeah?
What's that?

- I gave her freedom.

- C.O.D. Was a puncture wound
to the skull.

Brain hemorrhaging was
so severe

That the impact with the ground
just finished the job.

- Thoughts
on the wound pattern?

- Well, it's a deep fracture
consistent with a sharp blow.

Tools and debris
left at the scene

Would have left
a larger bruise.

- Right.
This has a direct--

Direct point of entry.

Why is that?
It's like it's the--

It was just the tip--
the tip of something.

- Mm-hmm. Something metal
and very heavy.

- What did the tox screen say?

- Large quantities of alcohol,
no dr*gs.

But she'd been vomiting
for a few weeks.

The stomach lining's inflamed,

And there are acid stains
on her teeth.

- Have you done a full panel?

- Yeah, it's in the works.
Could take a few days.

But I did managed to pull
two semen samples.

- So you don't like
the boyfriend as the k*ller.

- Il vento's gives him
an alibi

That pretty much covers
the time of death.

- Cole talked about calls
she got from someone named "e."

Now, alona landau's phone
records show six calls

From ethan johns last night--

One close to the time
of her death.

- Did he offer an alibi?

- Well, he said he worked
till 2:00

"honing a performance."

Set designer confirms it.

- I still think we should get
a dna sample from him.

- It's not gonna be voluntary.

Last time we talked to him,

He was about half an inch
from lawyering up.

- So? You must know
a friendly judge.

- Oh, yeah, a dance instructor
who hits on his students...

We'll get a subpoena.

♪ ♪

- [sighs]
my foot!

I still get scared.

- There's nothing
to be afraid of, okay?

You can hit that
without an extra step.

- You're so confident.

- Hey, come here.
Come here.

All my confidence, okay?
It's yours.

I'm giving it to you
right now.

Right now.
Can you feel that?

Okay? Okay?

And now, take it.
Go on. Go on.

Starting from the previous
measure, all right?

Okay.

[dramatic piano music]

♪ ♪

[music stops]
- [laughing]

- Yes. Yes!
Look at you!

[laughing and chattering]

- He might be demanding,

But mr. Johns is generous
with his time.

His door is always open.

- And his time is only
about dance?

- Yes.

- What is that, for the--
the tummy?

You okay?
- I'm fine.

- Riley, we need
the true picture here.

- Look, I've said
what I know.

I can't get involved.

- Oh, riley,
you're already involved.

Everybody knows
you're talking to us.

What do you suppose they imagine
that you're saying?

- There was a bad scene
the day alona was k*lled.

It's very competitive.

Only with alona and jessalyn,
it was more than that.

- Jessalyn...
- Jessalyn kerr.

- Kerr?
What, the two of them, uh--

There was tension?
- They were always fighting.

Trying to one-up
each other.

Jessalyn started getting
really paranoid.

- About what?

- She hurt her foot
a while back--

Cut it real bad
on something,

And started saying
alona did it.

Maybe rigged her shoes.

[mellow piano music]

- Bravo.

[music stops]

Mm...Mm...

An epic tale
of unrequited love.

Brahms' symphony no. 3.

- Not brahms.
I wrote it.

- You wrote that?
[chuckles]

Well, you know, you may have
altered it slightly.

Here, take mr. Brahms'
opening phrase--

It goes like this.

[humming and playing notes]

And I think you did this.

[hums, plays slightly
altered version]

So what is that,
writing or appropriation?

What do you think, peanut?

- I'll find mr. Johns.

- No, we're actually here
to see jessalyn.

- Me? Why?

- I'll be right outside.

- So, jessalyn kerr,

We heard that you
and alona landau were, uh--

Were fightin'.

- It wasn't a fight.

She crossed a line
during truth circle.

- Truth circle?

- When we watch rehearsal tapes
and critique each other.

- Oh, that sounds,
uh, cold.

- It's just a part
of the creative process.

But alona made it
personal.

Especially with me.

- So you don't deny that
you two were rivals?

- Alona was everyone's rival.

But that's the way
she wanted it.

Look, I was
in my dorm room

All night that night.

You can check
with my r.A., okay?

- [claps hands]
jess, you're late for stretch.

I'll tolerate
the disruptive efforts

Aimed at my person,

But try not to impact
these young people

And their dedication
to art.

- That doesn't
make him guilty.

- A first-rate athlete
smashed on the head

And tossed two stories
to the ground?

- All right.

- Easy task for
a well-toned dance instructor.

- Or--or another
first-rate athlete.

The schuman is
intensely competitive, right?

These girls are under
a lot of pressure.

It's not a stretch to imagine
that one of them just cracked.

- I'm not denying that.

I know how teenage girls
can be.

All the wild emotions,
the crazy insecurities.

- That's right.
And this m*rder was impetuous

And passionate.

Ethan johns, he's like
the choreographer type.

You know, those guys are
into order and control.

- Right. Which gives him
all the power.

I think he couldn't control
alona, so he snapped.

- Why are you so certain
about this guy's guilt?

- In my first year
of college,

I thought I could
do anything, be with anyone.

I was dumb enough
to get involved with someone

Who was talented
and charming and...

Anyway, I'll go talk
to callas.

We should get
the rehearsal tapes and records

On all the students
from the schuman.

And I'm checking priors.

I'm betting ethan johns
has a history.

- You seem the least disturbed
by recent events.

That's a tribute
to your dedication.

You'll take alona's role
next week.

- [gasps]

[chuckles]

Really?

- You're ready, jessalyn.
It's time.

- Yeah.

- Alona's movement
was superior,

But you're far more
beautiful.

And with my help...

You'll be a star.

- I won't disappoint you.

I swear.

I sent you my feelings when
he told me I was dancing lead.

- I felt him coming on
to you,

Like I knew just
what you were going through

Right at that moment.

- I knew you were thinking
of me too.

- Nobody has what we have.

- We're so close.
Sometimes it's like...

Both: We're the same person.

- Yes.

[laughter]

- Oh, this is so amazing!
We have to celebrate.

- Mm. Ugh...I forgot!

I have this stupid dinner thing
with my parents.

- I thought you hated
your parents.

- I do, but they pay
for all this,

So I have to play nice
once in a while.

- Oh, um...
Yeah, all right.

Well, okay, we'll just
celebrate some other time.

- What are you talking about?

If I'm stuck with them,
so are you.

[giggles]

- Priors?

- Nothing.

- You know, sometimes
we hate the innocent

And like the guilty.

- He's a bad guy.

- But here--

Here, I found this student
with history--

Paulette bartol.

We met her with jessalyn.

This says, basically,
that she has been troubled.

- Not bad trouble if the schuman
still let her in.

- Well, she could have--

On the application,
she could have concealed that.

- But I reviewed
the dorm files.

Both were checked in
by 10:30 that night.

- Oh, yeah, but sneaking out
of your college dorm--

[cell phone ringing]

For creative students,
that's, uh--

That's no houdini move,
you know.

- Ethan johns' mitochondrial dna
matches one

Of the two semen samples.

He doesn't need priors.

We have physical evidence,

Witness testimony,
phone records.

It's all here.

- Okay.
Let's run it by the d.A.

And see if we can get
an arrest warrant.

[door slams shut]

- Your alibi checks out.

- Of course.

I was working on
finishing the sets

Until 2:00 in the morning.

- Right, and then
you were working on...

Miss cynthia tussley...
Till well after 7:30.

You know, you have an affair
with a rich socialite,

And then word gets out
that you're being questioned...

- Suddenly her attorney calls
wanting to protect his client.

Humiliating.

- [chuckling]

- I can see why you'd like
to keep it a secret.

- It doesn't matter.

It's not a crime.

You can't hold me.

- I know it's one role,
but things are changing.

I'll probably be dancing lead
from now on.

- Just don't get ahead
of yourself.

You know how dramatic
you can be.

- Still a long road
before abt.

- Mm. There's more foie gras,
paulette.

- Um, I'm fine, thank you.

- You know we can't eat
this crap!

- Excuse me?

- I'm two pounds over.

Maybe if you cared at all,
you'd know that.

- This is not the time
or the place.

- Since I was five, I've dreamed
of being a dancer.

That's all I've wanted.

All you do is ruin it
and make it ugly.

But ethan johns believes in me,
even if you don't.

That's all that matters.

Paulette, I'll wait here
all night if I have to.

- [crying]
I did it all for you.

I did it all for you!

- Slow down.
Just talk to me.

- You were supposed
to be happy!

I just wanted
to make you happy!

Because I thought that
if you were happy,

Then we could
be happy together.

But it's all wrong!

Everything's wrong!

Now you're gonna go
with ethan,

And I'm gonna
be alone again!

I'm gonna
be alone again.

But I did it for you,
jessalyn.

I did it for you.

Please say something.

- I don't have to.

You know what I'm feeling.

- That was beautiful.
Beautiful.

Very good.

- So we've got physical
evidence, phone records,

A dominating personality,

But a witness who places him
somewhere else.

- The dna may not
get him indicted,

But it could serve
another purpose.

- A guy like him,

Feeling empowered,
as he does,

There could be more than
one student in his past.

Riley thorson got
a little jumpy

When we brought up
his name.

- Yeah, don't release him
just yet.

And see if she's willing
to talk.

- Let's skip right to it.
Were you sleeping with him?

- It was six months ago.

Before he took up
with alona.

I'm so embarrassed.

[gasps]

- Uh, what's the matter?
You okay?

- Just this stomach thing.

It comes and goes.
Everyone's got it.

- Maybe food poisoning?
- That's what my doctor said.

But I don't know...
It feels different.

- Different like what?

- I'm wheezing
all the time.

And I can't get rid
of this really weird taste.

- Strange.
Let me smell your breath.

- Okay, I guess.

- Do, like, a...
[exhales quickly].

- Breathe out for me.
- [exhales]

- Smell her breath.
Smell her breath.

- [exhales]
- [sniffs]

Yeah, I know that smell.

- It's from alona's room.

- What is it?

- Ethylene glycol is
a dihydroxy alcohol derivative.

- It's antifreeze.

- It was masked
in the first tox screen

Because she'd been drinking.

- Mm.
- Just how elevated was she?

- Well, trace amounts.

But even a small mouthful
can throw the body off.

Skin goes pale,
breath rate increases.

- Pale skin, breath--
riley thorson.

And, according to her,
everyone else.

Jessalyn kerr
and paulette bartol...

They didn't mention it.

- [laughing]
this is so crazy!

In one week,
I'll be dancing lead.

[giggles]

Can you believe it?

- The world is yours.

- No, ours.
The world is ours.

What's in there, anyway?

Can I see?

- Well, I'll show you
a few things.

- [chuckles]

Hmm.

"today is the day.
I've never felt more free.

Because I know now
what I must do."

Uh, is this the day you...

What if someone finds out?

- Hey, come here.

Nobody knows anything, okay?
She's gone.

Gone.

[laughter]

- Paulette bartol
may be talented,

But she's also
emotionally unstable.

- She was kicked out
of high school

For stalking
another student.

- And her latest obsession,
jessalyn kerr,

Was the victim's rival.

- I thought the school backed
their alibis.

- Bed check had them
in their rooms.

- We're not happy with that.

- Well, jessalyn has
a past drug problem.

She requires a second bed check
from the resident advisors.

They confirm she was in
all night.

- Yeah, she was in.

But paulette bartol...
Different story.

Look at this.
Look at the tv.

Watch this.
Okay, teacher ethan.

Paulette bartol,
she has that tray of drinks.

She gives one to poor alona,
to this other girl in the pink.

And now she gives one
to jessalyn, and no--

She gives her water.
Water, okay?

Those sweet, sugary
sports drinks

Could cover the sweet taste
of ethylene glycol,

But you can't hide that
in water.

- She poisoned everyone
but jessalyn.

Good. That's very good.

So go on. Go see what else
she might be hiding.

So it was around 11:45. Ok,

so it turns out Paula was
a no show at classes today

and Jessalyn father
pulled her out of school.

- What's this?

What's in here?

You see all that?

Paulette has no idea that
she's being so helpful.

- You think?
I'm gonna check the bathroom.

Hey, you should get in here.

- What's up?
- Wastebasket.

Had receipts for antifreeze.

- I don't think
that's all we've got.

- You can't do this.

I will k*ll myself
if you keep me from paulette.

- You will not
be seeing her anymore!

- Honey,
it's for your own good.

[gasps]
oh, god!

- I can't believe
you just did that.

I'm calling paulette.
This is--

- No contact.
Do you hear me?

None!

- Oh, I hate you!

[knock on window]

How did you get here?
- Hi.

- I was thinking about you.

I'd hoped you'd come
and get me.

- I knew you needed me.
- Let's run away somewhere.

- Anywhere you want to go.
- I have a trust.

I can get money.
- No, no, it's okay.

As long as we're together...
- Nothing can stop us.

- Okay, go get your coat.

No.

- Let's go. Hey, you two,
come on. Let's go.

- No!
- Don't leave me, please!

[girls screaming]

- Quiet down.
- Quiet down.

- Jess, wait! No! Stop!

- Let go! Let go!
[girls screaming]

- Let me go!

- You are crazy.

First the dr*gs, now this.

Do you realize the trouble
that you are in?

- Galen, please.

- No, this is over!

I will not let you
do this.

You will not ruin
the hopes and dreams

That we have built for you.

Our lawyer is on his way.

We'll discuss some deal.

Whatever you want.
- There's no deal, mr. Kerr,

Until jessalyn tells us
everything she knows.

- I don't have
to say anything.

- We've got physical evidence,
paulette.

- It doesn't matter.

Only jessalyn and I
know the truth.

And we'll never tell.

I'm sharing that
with her right now.

[door opens]

- What?

What did you do?

- Get her out of here.

- No. No, I came
to help you.

- Get her out!
Get her out!

Now! Go!

- This whole thing
is my fault.

I should have kept her away
from all this.

This is not good for someone
as sensitive as paulette.

- You were a dancer once too?

- Yeah.

But I couldn't afford
a sitter,

So I would take her with me
to the theater,

And she would watch
for hours.

But can't pay the bills
as background, so I stopped.

- You had a child to raise.

- So what's gonna happen next?

- We are gonna use
jessalyn kerr's testimony

To build a case
against paulette.

- That may be tough.
- Why?

- At this point,
she's committed

To being part
of the m*rder itself.

- Yeah, but the evidence
will prove otherwise.

- These girls don't care
about evidence...

Or reality.

What's going on between them
is all that really matters.

- That's right.

They've escaped into this
whole world of fantasy.

- They're bonded
beyond all reason.

- They're in love, you mean?

They're in love,

But I think it's more
than that.

- Well, I don't know
what that is,

But we hand over two defendants
where only one is guilty,

And paulette's lawyer
is gonna use that

To confuse the hell
out of the jury.

It is a perfect setup
for endless mistrials.

- Look, more than anything,
they want to be together.

I think we should allow it,

And then land on them
with reality.

[knock on door]
- yeah. Come on.

Good. Use that.

- It's okay.
We're gonna go to paris.

- [whispering]
ah, paris. This is just a test.

- Yes.

- Nothing is ever going
to tear us apart.

We just have to
get through this.

- I tell you, I've been going
through this book.

Wow, it's really inspiring.

It's obvious you got
a lot of talent.

- We know.

- Oh, I was talking
about paulette.

I meant paulette.

This is yours, isn't it?

- It's ours.

Jessalyn's a part
of everything I do.

- Oh, yeah, I can see
you're very close.

- We can communicate in ways
others can't understand.

- Well, now,
what does that mean, exactly?

- We can feel
each other's energy,

And send thoughts
back and forth.

- Oh, what is it,
like mind-reading?

Sort of? Yes?
Really?

Can you read my mind?

- There has to be
an emotional bond.

- Well, it's just so amazing
that you two have found it.

- Nothing will ever
take it away.

- But you need to guard
against jealousy.

I meant your jealousy
of alona.

What was it
she called her?

It's in the journal there
somewhere.

- "the dark queen."
here it is:

"today is the day.
I've never felt more free.

"because I now know
what I must do.

The dark queen has struck
for the last time."

That's the day
that alona was m*rder*d.

- And what happened,
paulette?

The antifreeze didn't
make her sick enough?

- Antifreeze?

- Paulette was poisoning
the other dancers, jessalyn.

Giving them just enough
to weaken their skills.

- Everybody...But you.

- So she did it for me,
and I love her.

- Paulette doesn't feel
the same way.

- This is so small...

Yet it's so...
Powerful.

- We found this
in your room, paulette.

The imprints and blood samples
match the wound

On alona's head.

[loud bang]

We know you had
a second bed check.

You weren't there.

- It's cruel, paulette,
letting jessalyn go down

For something
that she didn't do.

- This is not the first time
you've hurt her,

Is it?

- I love jessalyn.

- Well, maybe you love
what she is.

What you know
you can never be.

- [sighs]
I don't understand.

What are they talking about?

- That day four months ago.

You knew there was
something wrong

As soon as you came down
on your toe.

- When you found
that shard of glass,

You must have been horrified.

- That was alona!
She did that.

- Well, look at here.
Oh, there it is.

"alona wants to
take jessalyn down.

"she's threatened by her.

"I told alona
I'd do anything to help.

"so I broke up a bottle,
and I took one of the pieces--"

- No, no.
That's--that's wrong.

That's a lie.

They're trying to tear us apart.
Can you feel that?

Just tell them that
it's not true.

- You can never understand.

- All right.

Well, then, help us.

Help us to understand,
paulette.

- It feels so lonely
when you walk into a room

And no one turns around.

But with them--

With them,
it's like the world shifts.

I wanted to feel that,
just once.

To know that I was
really special.

- That's the only thing
you've ever wanted...

Since you were
a little girl,

And you saw your mother
up on the stage.

- But your mother never
had the lead part,

Did she?

She never had that glory,
and that's what you want--

To be, uh,
up in the front.

- Your mother's dreams d*ed.

You wouldn't let
that happen to you.

- So you attached yourself
to jessalyn,

You attached yourself
to alona--the real stars.

- She was ungrateful.

- Alona?

- I risked everything.

I could have been expelled.

And then she turned on me!

- She humiliated you.

- She told me
I went too far.

She kept screaming,
"what kind of crazy freak

Puts glass
in someone's shoes?"

I'm not a freak.

- And after that
she dumped you for ethan,

And you moved on
to jessalyn.

All this time--

All this time,
you have been using me.

- No, jessalyn, no.
I was finally happy.

I didn't need
to be great anymore.

I just wanted
to be with you.

I couldn't let her hurt you...
Or us.

- I thought I knew
everything about you.

We were the same person.

- No...
No, we still are.

- No, not now.

Not after everything
you've done.

- No, no, no.

[whispering]
I can feel you leaving me.

- I'm sorry.
I have to.

- [crying]
no.

- I--I think--

Can I go now?

- Jessalyn?
Jessalyn!

[shouting]
jessalyn!

- We're gonna wait here
a minute.

Someone's coming down
for you.

- Please.

- Okay, give them a minute.

- [whispering]
I'm so sorry.

[sobbing]
I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

- You all right?
