미디엄 지난 이야기

지금 내가 얘기하는 건
조도 모른단다

난 매우 아프단다

살 확률은 60%야

어머님에 관한 꿈을 꿨어요

우린 그로스 포인트의
어머님 집 거실에 있었어요

에리얼, 브리짓, 마리

브리짓이 막 대학을 졸업한 거에요

잘 한 거야

거짓말을 했는대도요

그건 걱정말거라

안녕, 밥

안녕, 톰

일할 준비 됐어?

그럼

24,838번째 날을 시작해볼까?

사무실 멋진데

당신들 여기서 일하는 거야?

누가 들여보냈는지 몰라도

여기 있는 건
멋지지 않아

이번엔 경고로 끝내겠지만

다음번엔 사라지는 게 좋을 거야

조명 멋진데

여기 전구는 얼마나 자주 가는 거야?

너희 둘 뭐가 문제야?

이 친구 얘기 못 들었어?

가라고

뭐 때문에 화가 난 거야?

이웃에 새로 와서
인사하려는 것뿐이야

이웃에 새로 와?

이건 이웃이 아니야
여기 있어서도 안 돼

왜 안 돼?

안 좋은데

본부에 전화해야겠어

본부에 전화한다고?

멋진데!

걔네들이 우리한테
피자를 시켜줄까?

얘네들 정말 빠르게
증식하고 있어

피자라구?

파인애플 얹은 거
좋아하는 사람 있어?

계속 신호만 가고
아무도 받지를 않아

손 들어볼래?

파인애플 원하는 사람?

나가

나가라구!

너흰 여기 있으면 안 돼

너희 모두 여기 있으면 안 돼

나가!

너희들 다 여기 있으면 안 돼!

너희 모두
우릴 내버려둬

나가!

정말 유감이에요, 마저리

이렇게 빨리 심하게
나빠질 줄은 몰랐어요

바라고 기대한 진단이
아닌 거 압니다

들은 거에 대해 질문 있으시거나
생각하실 시간이 필요하시다면...

아뇨

괜찮아요

정말이요

정말요?

물론이요

엄마?

여긴 7시도 안 됐다구요

괜찮은 거에요?

잠시만요

쟤한테 무슨 말하는지
너도 알지?

걱정말라고 얘기하고 있지

별일 아니고
검사 조금일 뿐이다

집으로 전화했을 때
안 받아도 걱정하지 마라

하지만 너랑 난
진실을 알지

그러니 조가 전화를 끊으면
가보라고 말하거라

오늘

왜요?

뭘 아세요?

너도 아는 걸 알지

그녀가 아프고
좋지 않다는 걸 알지

하지만 그외에는
자세히는 모르겠구나

난 그녀와 너무 가까워

그런 식으로 되는 거거든

오늘이야.. 앨리

말하거라

엄마가 병원에 있대

별거는 아니고 그냥
검사를 조금 받는 거래

혹시 내가 엄마한테 전화했을 때
안 받는다고 걱정할까봐

짐을 꾸려

가보는 게 좋겠어

무슨 얘기야?

뭐 아는 거 있어?

아무것도 몰라

그냥 당신이 짐을
꾸려야 한다는 건 알아

비행기를 타야한다는 건 알아

이해가 안 되요

할머니가 정말 아픈게 아니라면
아빠는 왜 가는 거에요?

아빠는 그냥 걱정되는 거야

그리고 병원에 있게 되면
곁에 누군가 있는 게 좋단다

그래, 2시간 반 후에 비행기가 있어

표값은 묻지도 말라고

언제 돌아와요?

모르겠구나, 얘야

어쩌면 내일

어쩌면 모레
확실치 않구나

아무튼 바라기에는 그래

할머니께 키스 전해줄래요?

그래

저도요

나도

이봐

도착하면 전화해

알았어

와줘서 고마워요

여기 수수께끼가 생겼어요

어때요?
괜찮아요?

네. 아뇨

시어머니가 편찮으세요

조는 아마 지금쯤
미시간으로 이륙했을 거에요

제가 도울 일이라도 있나요?

아뇨. 고마워요

그래 여기 무슨 일이죠?

열차가 역에 들어설 때
선로에 떨어졌죠

뛰어내렸거나
떠밀린 것 같아요

모르겠어요

떠밀려요?

듣자하니 아침에 어떤 노숙자가
플랫폼에서 구걸하고 있었다는군요

이 사람 근처에 서있었다고
몇 사람이 진술했어요

곧바로 사라진 것 같아요

보안 카메라에도
거의 잡히지 않았어요

물론 사람들 모두 제각각이에요

키, 머리색, 다부지다, 왜소하다

일치하는 건 분명히 지독한
악취가 났다는 것뿐이에요

암내, 찌릉내

그가 제대로 해낸 것 같네요

악취로는 지명 수배할 수도 없고
이 남자가 누군지도 모르죠

무슨 소리에요?
직장과 이름이 아담인 걸 아는데요

무슨 소리죠? 어떻게
아담이란 이름과 직장을 안다는 거죠?

이 사람 옷에...

바로 저기 있었어요

좀 전에 봤을 때 써져 있었어요
"버거 팰리스. 안녕하세요 아담입니다"

알았어요

하지만 좋은 양복을 입었네요
버거나 뒤집는 사람의 옷 같진 않네요

뭐라 말해야 할지 모르겠지만
내가 본 걸 알 뿐이에요

지점장이거나
자신의 가게일지도 모르죠

좋아요
확인해 보죠

엄마?

계세요?

오지 말랬잖니

왜 그렇게 쳐다보니?

링거 때문에?

여기선 이게
유행이더구나

내걸 자랑하러
한바퀴 돌았어

엄마

얘야, 그렇게 심각한 거 아니야

엄마 좀 안아줘봐

두통 때문에
오셨댔잖아요

그래

두통이 있고
좀 힘도 없고

식욕도 떨어졌지

다 두통 때문인 것
같긴 하지만

의사들은 뭐래요?

의사들은 검사들을
하겠다는구나

일부는 했고
일부는 남았고

머리 예쁘게 잘랐네

깔금해 보여

생각을 좀 해보니...

우리 집 열쇠야

가려면 택시를 타야겠구나

하지만 그후엔 내 차를 쓰도록 해

왜?

왜 그렇게 쳐다보니?

엄마가 걱정되요

안 좋아 보여요

그러지 마라

틀림없이 아무것도 아닐 거야

괜찮아질 게 분명해

이제 집에 가서

짐 풀고 집사람한테
무사히 도착했다고 전화해

엄마, 같이 있으려고
여기 온 거에요

얘야, 정말 착하기도 하지

정말 고맙단다

하지만 지금 당장은
한숨 좀 자야겠어

그러니 집에 가서 짐 풀고

저녁 때 다시 오거라

내 젤로를 나눠줄게

괜찮아, 조

엄마 말 들어야지

실례합니다

닥터 채프먼인가요?

조 드브와에요

저희 어머니를 치료하시죠

만나서 반갑습니다

어머니는 멋진 분이시죠

검사를 하고 있다고 하던데요

언제쯤 결과가 나올지
알고 싶어서요

검사요?

두통이요

원인을 찾는 중이라고 하던데요

뭐 잘못 됐나요?

죄송합니다만 그건...

모친께서 전부 말할 생각이
아닌 것 같아 유감이군요

사실은 여기 들어온 날
검사를 했습니다

몇 시간 후 상태를
진단 내렸습니다

전두엽에 성상 세포종이 있습니다

뇌종양이요

이미 아시겠지만
어머님의 태도가 놀랍죠

누구도 걱정하기를
원치 않으세요

심지어 의사까지도요

그렇군요

그럼 어떻게 치료하죠?

수술하실 건가요?

드브와 씨
그럴 시기는 지났습니다

암이 너무 진행되었습니다

수술로 치료 가능한
시점은 지났습니다

죄송하지만
이해가 안 되네요

치료할 수 없다는 말인가요?

엄마는 죽는 건가요?

치유 불가능한 암 같은 건
사실 없습니다

4기 암에서 회복되는
사람들도 있죠

단지 통계학적으로

어머님 연세의 환자가
회복하는 경우

이상치(outlier)라고 부르죠

잘 일어나지 않는 경우요

이상치가 뭔지 저도 압니다

미안합니다, 드브와 씨

상황을 알려 준 사람이
없는 줄 몰랐습니다

읽어보실 인쇄물이나
연구들이 있죠

우리 직원이 가져다 드리도록 하죠

통계를 직접 살펴보실 수 있을 겁니다

이름은 아담이죠
당신이 맞았어요

아담 탤미지

하지만 버거 팰리스에서
일하진 않아요

데니슨 컨설팅의 회계사죠

불행히 아침 7:20 특급 열차에
부딪히기 전까지는 그랬죠

직장의 좋은 승진에서
막 밀린 참이라더군요

잘 받아들이지 못했다고
상사가 그러더군요

뛰어내렸다고
생각하는 건 아니죠?

가능성은 있다고 봐요

한밤중에 온갖 이상한 메일을
동료들에게 보냈죠

하지만 그 노숙자가 나타나 설명하지 않으면
정말로 무슨 일이 있었는지 모르겠죠

조 전화에요
받아야겠어요

괜찮아요
그냥 알고 싶어할 것 같아서요

시어머니가 괜찮으시길 바래요

조, 다 괜찮은 거야?

모르겠어

안 좋은 것 같아
정말 안 좋아

자기, 잠깐만

좀 조용한 곳을 찾아야겠어

무슨 일이야?

뇌종양이래

엄마가 뇌종양이야

조, 정말 안 됐어

수술 치료도 안 된대

오 저런

방사선 치료를 하고 있대

화학 요법을 견딜 수 있게
튼튼하게 만들려 노력 중이야

화학요법을 이겨낸다면

여기서 준 인쇄물에 따르면 어쩌면..

최고 1년이나 18개월이래

어떻게 견디고 계셔?
정신적으론 어떠셔?

완전히 부정하고 계셔
다 잘 될테니 걱정하지 말래

좋은 걸지도 몰라
나쁜 게 아닐 수도 있어

어쩌면 자신에 대해
뭔가 아는 지도 몰라

어쩌면 견뎌낼 걸
느끼는 지도 몰라

여보, 수술도 안 된다구

여보, 우리가 뭐 해야 할 건 없어?

그러니까 어쩌면

애들 데리고 내일 비행기로 간다던지

모르겠어

아니

어쩌면 다음 주
화학 요법 시작할 때

병실로 다시 가야겠어, 알았지?

알았어

이봐 사랑해

나도 사랑해

죄송합니다

그래 마시 나야

트레버한테 9시 회의에
늦을 거라 전해줘. 알았지?

얼마나 늦을진 모르겠어

기차가 언제 도착하느냐에 달렸지

복 받으실 거에요

그래 마시 나야

트레버한테 9시 회의에
늦을 거라 전해줘. 알았지?

얼마나 늦을진 모르겠어
기차가 언제 도착하느냐에 달렸지

명심해
너무 긴장하지 마

그 친구를 보면 위치를 말해줘

여자에게 접근할 때까진 잡지 마
그래야 체포할 수 있어

모두들 알았습니다

신호를 기다리겠습니다

미안해요
늦었어요

괜찮아요
아무것도 놓치지 않았어요

왠 수행단이죠?

조가 떠나 있어서요

학교 데려다 줄 사람을
못 찾았어요

내가 말한 거 명심해

브리짓, 기차가
들어오는 소리가 나면

마리 손을 붙잡고

너희들은 돌아서서

이 포스터를 바라보는 거야

다시 돌아서라고 할 때까지
알았지?

왜요? 설마 우리가 본 적 없는 걸
보게 될 거라 생각하는 거에요?

- 엄마. 우린 케이블도 있다구요
- 맞아요

얘들아 그냥 시키는대로 해

이봐요, 저기 우리의 숙녀분이에요

남자는 아직 못 봤어요?

남자는 보이지 않고
냄새도 나지 않네요

좋아 얘들아
손 잡고 뒤돌아

누가 상황 좀 알려주겠나?

여자를 주시하고 있습니다만
남자는 안 보입니다

아무것도 안 보이는데
어떻게 돼가지?

그녀에게 접근하는 사람은 없습니다

그녀는 열차에 탔습니다

그녀는 좋은 자리에
잡은 것 같네요

아직 노숙자는 안 보입니다

돌아서도 되나요?

그래. 돌아서도 돼

이해가 안 돼요

오늘이어야 한다구요
확실하다구요

네

당신이 조군요

전 변호사입니다, 조

대부분 회사일을 하지만
부모님 일도 처리했죠

아무튼 도움이 좀 필요합니다

무슨 일이죠?

어머님 유언장이요

좀 더 정확히는
부족한 유언장이요

- 유언장이 없다는 건가요?
- 아뇨

유언장은 있습니다
부모님의 이혼 직후 작성했죠

하지만 수년간 수정되지 않았어요

그 때문에 무슨 일이 생기면
재산의 상당 부분이 누락되죠

그럼 그 재산들은 몇년간
법정에 묶일 수 있어요

알았어요
유언을 수정하실 거에요

바로 그거에요
안 할려고 해요

입에도 못 담게 하죠

괜찮아질 거라며 고집을 피워요

나아지면 그때 하겠다고요

엄마는 진단을 받아들이 게
어려우신가 봐요

알았어요. 괜찮아요

제가 얘기할게요

수정하시게 할게요

엄마

좀 어때요?

좀 피곤하구나

절 위해 뭐 좀 마실래요?

널 위해?

여깄어요

예쁘구나

이럴 필요 없는데

제가 가져온 게 아니에요
샘 딜러요

주무시는 동안 들렀어요

엄마? 유언장에 대해
얘기하려 했다던대요

그래 그랬지

그 사람은 그 얘기만
하고 싶어하는구나

중요한 거에요

나아질 거라
생각하시는 거 알아요

저도 그래요

하지만 신중히 해야 할 건...

신중함에 대해 설교하지 마라

네가 본 건 나도 읽었어

통계도 알아

- 그래서요?
- 그래서 그건 신중해야 할 일이지만

꼭 필요한 일은
아닌 것 같구나

엄마, 확신할 수 없는 거에요

- 확실하단다
- 어떻게요?

굉장한 권위자가 확인을 해줬어

3년전에 내가 처음으로
겁내던 때 기억하니?

검사 결과를 기다리는 동안
널 보러 갔었지

네 집사람이랑 얘기를 나눴단다

내 미래에 대해
말해줄 수 있냐고 물었지

그애가 꿈을 꿨어, 조

내가 브리짓의 졸업 때
있는 꿈을 꿨대

가족 모두와 축하를 하고 있었대

그건 앞으로 몇년 후 일이야

엄마...

그러니 지금 새 유언장에 대해
걱정할 필요가 없지. 안 그러니?

여보세요

안녕

조, 당신한테 전화했었어

음성 메시지로 넘어가더라구
괜찮은 거야?

모르겠어
머리가 어지러워

그리고 병원에서 핸드폰을 사용하면 사람들
건강을 위협한다는 표지를 보고 있지만

뭐, 상관 안 해

조?

브리짓이 고등학교 졸업하는 건
보실 거라고 당신이 말했다며

어머님은 아프셨어

기억하잖아

검사를 받으시고 걱정하셨어

어머님에 대한 꿈을
꿔달라고 애원하시는데

그런 식으로 되는 게 아니란 걸
이해시켜 드릴 수 없었어

그래서 거짓말 했어?

희망을 드리려고 한 거야

조?

이겨낼 거라고 생각하고 계셔

당신이 그렇게 했어, 알아?

4기 뇌종양에서
살아날 거라고 생각하셔

당신이 말해서 말야

제대로 된 유언장도 안 만드셔

알았어. 내가 말해볼게

내가 이해시켜드릴게

아니. 내가 이해시킬 거야

미안해. 사랑해

여보, 사랑해

애들은 어때?

애들은 좋아

알았어
가야겠어

조, 정말 미안해

알아

모두들 알았습니다

신호를 기다리겠습니다

미안하네 앨리슨

이 남자가 부랑자인 척 했다는 건가?

잡으려고 잠복근무 중인 걸 알아챈 거죠

그는 주차장으로 돌아갔어요

그 뭐냐 코스튬?을 벗었어요

좋은 옷을 입고 있었어요

이발도 잘 했고요

차는 제 차보다도
깨끗했어요

하지만 앨리슨
이 남자를 본 사람들은

그의 모습 뿐 아니라
찌릉내가 지독했다고 했네

좋아요. 아무도 모습을 기억 못하게
하는 좋은 방법이 뭐겠어요

사람들이 주목하지 않는
사람으로 변장하는 거죠

사람들이 외면하는
종류의 사람으로요

주위에 있는 걸
견딜 수 없는 사람으로요

미친 소리 같겠지만
이 사람이 용의자에요

우리가 찾는 남자라구요

앨리슨 용의자가
존재하는지도 모르겠어요

우리가 아는 한 아담 탤미지는
열차 앞으로 일부러 뛰어들었어요

그 사람은 살해됐다는 얘기에요

역에서 여자를 죽일 계획하던
같은 남자한테 살해당했어요

같은 방법으로요

이 그림을 배포하세

아담 탤미지의 죽음과 관련해
물어볼 것이 있다고 하는 거지

실제 존재한다면
누군가 신고할지도 모르지

내가 할 수 있는 최선일세, 앨리슨

좋은 아침

좋은 오후에요

정말 심하게 주무시던데요

모르겠구나

간호사가 말하길
어젯밤 힘들어 하셔서

쉬실 수 있게 뭔가 좀 줬대요

식사 가져다 드려요?

아니

그냥 잠시 앉아 있자꾸나

엄마, 샘 딜러한테 전화했어요

유언장에 대해 얘기하러
좀 있다 들를 거에요

왜? 집에 돌아가면
처리한다고 말했잖니

엄마, 집에 가지
못하실까봐 걱정돼요

왜 그런 식으로 말하니?

말했잖니...

말씀하신 건 알아요

앨리슨이 말했던 건...

꿈 꿨다고 말해준 것들은요

모두 꾸며낸 거에요

엄마가 겁내하는 걸 알고

안심하게 하려고
그런 말을 한 거에요

내 화장품 가방
좀 가져다 줘

화장품요?

샘이 온다니 화장을 좀 해야겠구나

화장품 가방을 가져와

앨리슨, 자네에게 사과를 해야겠네

아담 탤미지의 죽음은 결국
살인인 듯 하네

그리고 용의자를 확보한 것 같네

정말이요

지금 내려가서 그를 살펴볼 참이네

같이 가겠나?

어젯밤 울혈성 심부전으로 사망했습니다

순찰 돌던 경찰이 8번가 골목에서
시체를 발견했죠

그냥 노숙자인 척 한 거라고
당신이 말했지만

그랬다면 굉장히
잘 하고 있었던 거죠

경찰이 이 사람 물건으로 가득 찬
쇼핑 카트를 옆에서 발견했어요

확실히 밖에서 생활한 걸로 보였어요

신원은 아직 모르지만

그저 시간 문제이길 바라고 있죠

이 사람이 아니에요

아담 탤미지를 죽인 사람이 아니에요

제 생각은 달라요

당신의 묘사와 정확히 같은
코트를 입고 있었어요

탤미지가 죽은 아침에
3명의 목격자가 본 것과 같아요

그리고 탤미지의 손목 시계를
쇼핑 카트에서 찾았어요

뭐가 더 필요하죠, 앨리슨?

이 남자는 분명히
어떤 변장도 안 했네만

증거는 그가 아담 탤미지의 죽음에
연루됐다는 걸 보여주네

자네가 본 걸 잘못
이해했을 가능성도 있진 않나?

모르겠어요
어쩌면요

이 사람 이름은 제리인 것 같아요

뭐라고?

- 제리
- 왜 그렇게 생각하나?

이름표가 있어요

이름표요?

바로 여기 있었어요

버거 팰리스라고 써 있었어요

아담 탤미지가 가지고 있던 것과
같은 종류의 이름표였어요

이름은 제리라고 써있었어요

버거 팰리스의 제리요?

좋아요
확인해 보죠

여기 제리는 오랫동안 직업이
없었던 걸로 보이긴 하지만요

여보세요

이봐 나야

오, 조

발신자에 어머님 이름이 떠서

당황했어

그래, 엄마 집에서 거는 거야

여러 일들이 있는데
혼자 여기 있으니 정말 이상해

어머님은 어떠셔?

똑같아

얘기 좀 나눠 봤어?

그랬지

그래 어땠어?

굳건하셔

상황을 받아들이고는
화장을 하시고

변호사를 만나
유언장을 수정했지

정말 미안해

아직도 너무나 후회돼

애들을 정말 보고 싶어하셔

모두 보고 싶어 하셔

때가 된 것 같아

알았어

전화 끊고 컴퓨터로
아침 첫 비행기를 예약할게

그러면 엄마가 기뻐하실 거야

정말 죄송하다고
다시 말씀 드려줘

그리고 정말 뵙고 싶다고도

그럴게

당신이 정말 보고 싶어

나도 보고 싶어

잘하면 내일 보겠네

그럼 물론이지
내일 보게될 거야

사랑해

미안해 제리
겁주려던 건 아니었어

이 망할 놈의 기침

나야 데이빗 오스트로스키

몇년 전에 버거 팰리스에서
같이 일했잖아

버거 팰리스
기억하지

맞아
88년 여름이었지

넌 튀김 기계를 맡았지

아담 탤미지는 그릴을 맡았고

난 계산대를 맡았지

2주 전에 왔었잖아

내 재킷을 샀잖아

그래 제리
네 재킷을 샀지

그걸 돌려 주러 왔어

안 돼

싫어

거래는 거래야

게다가 받은 돈은 이미 썼어

돈은 돌려 받지 않아, 제리

그냥 재킷을 돌려주려는 거야

더 이상 쓸 수가 없거든

쓴다고?

그래

처리해야 할 일이 좀 있었어

이제 끝나서 돌려주는 거야

여기

입는 거 도와줄게

괜찮아

괜찮아, 괜찮아

데이빗...

앨리슨?

어머님

여보세요?

이봐

밤 늦게 미안해

막 병원에서 연락 왔어

엄마가 돌아가셨어

오스트로스키 씨
안녕하세요

마누엘 드발로스입니다
급한 연락에 와주셔서 감사합니다

기침이 심하시군요
괜찮으신가요?

항상 이렇죠

만성적인 거에요

조금 혼란스럽네요

찾으시는 게
저 맞나요?

무슨 일로 절 찾는지 모르겠네요

질문 몇개면 됩니다

오래 걸리지 않을 겁니다

죄송합니다

누군지 잘 모르겠네요

이름은 아담 탤미지입니다

두분은 몇년 전 챈들러의
버거 팰리스 지점에서 같이 일하셨죠

저희 조사에 의하면
1988년 여름이던가요?

오래 전이네요

탤미지는 최근에 살해당했습니다

며칠 전 누군가
통근 열차 앞으로 밀었죠

정말이요

그 얘기 들었어요

하지만 아는 사람인지는
모르겠네요

어떻게 도울 지 모르겠네요
정말 그 사람 기억이 안 나요

그해 여름에 버거 팰리스에서
일한 사람이 많아서요

정확히 14명이었습니다
확인해봤습니다

제리 쏜튼입니다

또 다른 동료죠

네

그렇다고 하신다면야

하지만 20년 전과는
다르게 보이네요

쏜튼 씨는 거의 10년간
노숙자로 지냈죠

요전날 밤 죽은 채 발견됐죠

처음엔 심부전으로 보였습니다

통상적인 독극물 검사를 했습니다만
특별한 건 없었죠

그렇군요

그러다 좀 더 자세히
조사해야 한다는 제보를 받아서

몇가지 추가 검사를 했죠

당신의 옛친구는
인슐린 과다 투여로 죽었더군요

그걸 과다 투여하게 되면
저혈당 쇼크 반응를 일으키죠

사인은 심부전으로 보이게 되죠

뭘 찾아야 하는지 모른다면요

그렇군요

그 말을 믿도록 하죠

하지만 왜 제게 얘기하는 거죠?

잠시만 더요

잉그리드 마티네즈입니다

그녀도 당신과 같이 일했었죠

누군가 이번 주 초에 그녀를 열차 앞으로
밀 계획을 가지고 있던 것 같습니다

추가로 경관들을 배치해서
그 일은 일어나지 않았죠

그렇군요

세 사건이 모두 관련있다고
믿습니다. 오스트로스키 씨

죄송하지만 어떤 식으로요?

88년 여름에 같은 곳에서 일해서요?

미친 소리 같겠죠

하지만 1988년 여름에 일하신
버거 팰리스 주방의 단열재에

석면이 사용된 것 아셨나요?

아실거라 생각합니다

결국 버거 팰리스를 상대로
소송을 제기하셨죠

파이프 속의 석면이 기침을
유발시켰다고 주장하면서요

네 사실입니다
소송을 했죠

뭐 잘못 됐나요?

아뇨 전혀요

매우 설득력 있는 소송이죠
사실 너무 설득력 있어서

버거 팰리스는 법정으로
가고 싶지 않았어요

그래서 합의를 제안했죠

당신과 합의를 한다면

1988년 지점에서 일한 모두가
소송을 할 거란 걸 깨닫게 되죠

그래서 집단 합의를 제안했죠

석면에 노출된 모든 직원이
나눠 갖을 전체 금액을 제시했죠

그들의 변호사들 얘기를 들으니
당신에게 선택권을 줬죠

집단 노선을 받아들이지 않으면

수년간 법정에서 소송이 묶이도록
온갖 수를 쓰겠다고요

그들은 큰 회사에요. 강경한
태도를 보이고 있죠. 그래서요?

그래서 합의금을 나눌 사람이 적으면

당신 몫이 커진다는 걸 안 거죠

우리 생각엔 제거된 각 사람이
당신에겐 약 백만 달러의 가치겠죠

증명할 수 없을 걸요

재킷 오른쪽 팔꿈치의
얼룩을 보세요

점액일 거라 생각합니다

오른쪽 팔꿈치로 입을 가리시죠

석면증으로 기침을 할 때요

당신의 DNA와 재킷에 묻은
DNA를 조사하면

일치하겠죠

여보

데리러 못 가서 미안해

여보, 뭘 도울까?

어젯밤 자긴 했어?

당신이 자는 침대 같은 데서 말야?

자긴 좀 쉬어야 돼

그럴 수 있으면 좋겠지만
추모사를 써야 돼

내가 후회하는 거 알아?

당신이 엄마한테 전화하도록
안 한 게 후회 돼

두 사람이 얘기를 못한 게 후회 돼

엄마는 당신을 좋아하셨어, 앨리슨

내가 당신과 결혼한 걸
기뻐하셨어

그 거짓말은 이해하실 거야

확실해

오히려 감사하실 거야

이제

당신은 좀 쉬어

긴 여행길이었잖아

좋아

난 거실에서 엄마 삶을
요약하며 좀 있을게

오, 지금 돌아왔어?

누구랑 얘기하고 있어?

아름다운 추모사를 쓰고 있더구나

정말 좋은 아들이지

정말 좋은 남편이기도 해요

걱정했어요

어젯밤 절 보러 오셨을 때요

오셨다가 바로 가셨잖아요

화나셨을까봐 걱정했어요

아냐, 그냥 혼란스러웠어

막 무슨 일이 일어났는지
이해를 못했어

너무 기분이 좋으면서도
동시에 너무나 슬펐어

우스워. 삶의 어떤 것도
죽음을 준비시켜주지 않아

제가 한 일이 정말 후회돼요

어머님을 속이고
헛된 희망을 드렸잖아요

괜찮아. 알고 있었어

어떻게요?

그냥 알았어

네가 말해준 첫날부터 알았어

깊은 곳에서는
거짓말이라고 생각했지

이건 아름답고 다정한 거짓말이다

하지만 마음에 들었어
그래서 그렇게 살았지

어쨌든 가능한 만큼은

진실보다 훨씬 좋은 것 같았어

내 아들을 잘 부탁한다
그리고 손녀딸들도

살짝 보니 앞에 어두움이 있구나

무슨 뜻이세요?

어떤 어두움이요?

미안하구나
그러지 말았어야 했는데

멋진 인생이 될 거야

잠시만요

- 어두움에 대해 말해 주세요
- 앨리슨

누구랑 얘기하고 있어?

아무것도. 아무도 아냐

Joe can't know what
I'm about to tell you.

I'm pretty
sick, Allison.

My odds are 60%.

I was having a dream
about you.

We were,

we were in your living room
in Grosse Pointe.

It was, uh, it was
Ariel, Bridgette, Marie.

And-And Bridgette had just

graduated
from college.

You did a good thing.

Even though I lied.

Ah, don't worry about it.

Morning, Bob.

Morning, Tom.

Ready to
get to work?

You betcha.

Let's go for
day number 24,838.

Cool offices!

What are you guys
working on in here?

Look, I don't know
who let you in,

but it's not cool
for you to be here.

Now, I'm gonna let you
off with a warning,

but the next time I look up,
you best be gone.

Nice light.

How often you guys have
to change the bulbs in here?

What is the matter
with you two?

Did you not
hear my friend?

Hit the road.

So what are you guys
getting all upset about?

We're just new
to the neighborhood,

wanted to say "hey."

New to the
neighborhood?

This isn't your
neighborhood.

You're not even
supposed to be here.

Why not?

This is bad.

We should call Central.

On it.

You're calling Central?

Awesome!

Hey, you think they'd call out
and get us some pizzas?

Oh, my God.

They're multiplying
really fast.

Pizza?

Anybody interested in
some pineapple on top?

It's just ringing
and ringing.

Nobody's picking up.

Can I see a show of hands?

How many for pineapple?

Get out.

Get out!

You're not supposed
to be here!

None of you are
supposed to be here!

Get out!

None of you are
supposed to be here!

Leave us alone,
all of you!

Get out!

I'm truly sorry, Marjorie.

We had no idea things had gotten
this bad this quickly.

I know this isn't the diagnosis
you were hoping for,

the diagnosis you expected.

If you have any questions
or if you just need time

to think about everything
you've been told...

No.

I'm fine.

Really.

Are you sure?

Absolutely.

Mom?

It's not even 7:00 here.

You all right?

Hold on, hold on.

You know what she's
telling him, don't you?

She's telling him not to worry.

She's saying it's no big deal,
just a few tests.

"Don't be concerned if you call
the house and you can't get me."

But you and I know the truth,
don't we?

So when Joe gets
off the phone,

you tell him that he needs
to get out there.

Today.

Why?

What do you know?

I know what you know.

I know that she's sick,
I know it's not good.

But beyond that,
I... I can't see too much.

I'm too close to her.

You know how that stuff works.

Today... Ally.

Tell him.

My mom's in the hospital.

It's no big deal.

It's just some tests.

She was afraid I might call
the house and not get her

and didn't want me
to be alarmed, so...

I want you to pack a bag.

I want you to go out there.

What are you talking about?

Do you know something?

I don't know anything.

I just know
you need to pack a bag.

You need to get on a plane.

I don't get it.

If Grandma's not really sick,
then why is Daddy going there?

Well, Daddy's just
worried about her.

And sometimes when people
are in the hospital,

it's good to have
somebody around.

Okay, I'm on a flight
in two and a half hours.

Don't even ask
what the ticket cost.

When will you be back?

I don't know, honey.

Maybe tomorrow.

Maybe the next day;
I can't be sure.

That's what I'm
hoping, anyway.

Will you give Grandma
a kiss for me?

Yes.

Oh.

Me, too.

Mm.

Me, too.
Mm.

Hey.

Call me when you land.

Okay.

Thanks for coming.

We got ourselves
a head-scratcher here.

How you doing?
You okay?

Yeah. No.

Joe's mom is
not well.

He's taking off for Michigan
probably right about now.

Anything I can do?

No, no, thanks.

So what do we
have here?

Fell on the tracks
just as the train

was pulling into
the station.

May have jumped, may
have been pushed.

We just don't know.

Pushed?

Apparently, some homeless guy
was, uh, begging for change

on the platform this morning.

Couple people reported that he
was standing near this fellow.

For the moment, he seems
to have disappeared.

Security cameras didn't
catch much of him either.

Of course, everyone's
all over the place on, uh,

how tall the guy is, color of
his hair, stocky, slight.

The only thing
everyone can agree on

is that apparently the guy stunk
to holy hell.

Body odor, urine.

Guess he had it
all going on.

But since we can't

put an APB out
on a stench

and since we don't even
know who the guy is...

What do you mean?
We know where he works

and we know
that his name's Adam.

What do you mean?
H-How do we know

where he works
and that his name's Adam?

Well, he's wearing...

It was just there.

When I was looking a second ago,
it said, "Burger Palace.

Hello, my name is Adam."

Okay.

But, uh, he's
wearing a nice suit.

Doesn't look like the kind
of thing a guy who works, uh,

Burger Palace flipping
burgers would wear.

I don't know what to tell you,
I just know what I saw.

Maybe he's a district manager,
or maybe he owns the franchise.

Okay, I'll, uh,
I'll check it out.

MAN Michael Crawford,
340. Michael Crawford...

Mom?

Hello?

WOMAN Paging Dr.
Stateman. Dr. Stateman, please.

I told you not to come.

MAN Michael Crawford,
please call 340.

Well, what are you
looking at me like that for?

Is it the IV?

'Cause I'll tell you,
it's all the rage around here.

I just took a lap
to show mine off.

Mom.

It's not that serious,
sweetheart.

Come give your mother a hug.

You said you were here
for headaches.

And I am.

I get headaches,
I-I'm feeling a bit weak...

and my appetite
seems to be gone.

Although I'm sure that's
all about the headaches.

What do the
doctors say?

Oh, the doctors say
they're going to run tests.

And they have, and they are.

I like your haircut.

It's very smart.

Oh, now, while...

while I'm thinking
about it, um... um...

The keys to my house.

Hmm?

You're gonna have to
take a taxi there,

but then you can use my car.

What?

Why are you
looking at me like that?

Sorry, I'm worried about you.

You don't look well.

Well, don't be.

I'm sure this is nothing.

I'm sure it'll pass.

Now, you go back
to the house,

get settled, call your wife

and tell her you arrived
safe and sound.

Mom, I came here to be with you.

Well, that's very nice,
sweetheart.

I appreciate that, I do.

But... right now,
I could really use a little nap.

So go to the house, unpack.

Come back for dinner.

I'll share my Jell-O with you.

It's okay, Joe.

Listen to your mother.

Uh, excuse me.

Are you Dr. Chapman?

My name is Joe Dubois.

You're treating
my mother, Marjorie.

Nice to meet you.

Lovely woman,
your mother.

Uh, so-so she said that
you were running some tests.

I was wondering when we might
actually see the results.

Tests?

For her headaches.

She said that you were
trying to determine the cause.

Is there something wrong?

I'm sorry, it's just...

I'm afraid your
mother is not

being entirely
forthcoming with you.

The truth is, we
ran tests on her

the day she checked
herself in here.

We diagnosed her condition
within a matter of hours.

She has an astrocytoma
in her frontal lobe.

Brain cancer.

As I'm sure you've noticed,

your mother's attitude
is quite remarkable.

She doesn't want anybody
to worry about her.

Not even her doctor.

Okay.

So... what's the treatment?

Are we looking at surgery?

I'm afraid we're
past that, Mr. DuBois.

The cancer's too far along.

It's well beyond the point
where a craniotomy would help.

I'm sorry, I don't understand.

Are-are you saying
it's incurable?

Is my mom gonna die?

There's really no such thing
as an incurable cancer.

People do recover
from stage four illnesses.

It's just...
statistically?

Those kinds of recoveries,
in a patient your mother's age,

they're... well, we call them
outliers. That means...

It means it hardly ever
happens, yeah.

I know what an outlier is.

I'm sorry, Mr. DuBois.

I didn't realize nobody'd
explained the situation to you.

There's some literature
you should read. Studies.

I'll make sure our staff
gets them to you.

You can have a look at
the statistics for yourself.

The guy's name's Adam.
You were right about that.

Adam Tallmadge.

Doesn't work at the
Burger Palace, though;

he's a CPA with
Denison Consulting,

or he was, until his
unfortunate run-in

with the 7:20 express
train this morning.

Apparently, he just
got passed over

for a big promotion at work.

His boss said he didn't
take it too well.

You don't think he jumped in
front of that train, do you?

Well, I think
it's a possibility.

He'd been sending all kinds of
strange emails to his colleagues

in the middle of the night.

But I also think, unless
this homeless guy turns up,

and starts to explain things,

we may never know
what really happened.

Oh, Lee, I gotta
take this. It's Joe.

Yeah, no problem. I just
thought you'd want to know.

Uh, listen, I hope everything's
okay with your mother-in-law.

Hey, Joe.
Is everything all right?

Uh, I don't know, it's...

It's bad, I guess,
it's really bad.

Sweetie, hold on a second.

I'm going to try to
find someplace private.

Hey, what's going on?

She has brain cancer.

My mom has brain cancer.

Oh, Joe. I'm so sorry.

It's not even operable.

Oh, my God.

They're giving her radiation.

They're trying to get her strong
enough so she can... have chemo.

And then if she survives
the chemo, then...

according to the literature
they gave me, she's got maybe...

a year, 18 months, tops.

How is she handling it?
How's her state of mind?

She's in total denial.
She's telling me not to worry,

that everything's
going to be okay.

Maybe that's good.
Maybe that's not a bad thing.

Maybe-maybe she knows
something about herself,

maybe she can sense that she's
going to pull through this.

Honey, it's inoperable.

Honey, is there anything
that you need us to do?

I mean, maybe I should just...

pack the girls up, we should
fly out there tomorrow.

I don't know.

No, I mean...

Maybe next week, when...
they start the chemo.

I'm going to go back
in the room now, okay?

Okay.

Hey, I love you.

I love you, too.

Excuse me, sir.

Yeah, Marcie, it's me.

Tell Trevor I'm going to be late

for the 9:00
staff meeting, okay?

I don't know how late.

It depends on when
the train gets here.

God bless your
heart, ma'am.

Yeah, Marcie, it's me.
Tell Trevor I'm going to be late

for the 9:00 staff
meeting, okay?

I don't know how late. Depends
on when the train gets here.

Hey. Remember, don't be
overanxious.

If you see our friend,
tell me where he is.

We don't want to pick him up
unless and until

he makes a move on that woman,
so we can arrest him.

Everybody copies that.

We're just waiting
on your signal.

Hey. Sorry I'm late.

It's all right, you
haven't missed anything.

What's with the entourage?

Joe's out of town.

I couldn't find anyone
to take them to school.

Okay, remember what I told you:

Bridgette, when you hear the
train come into the station,

you're going to
hold Marie's hand.

You guys'll just
turn around and...

stare at that poster, and...

until I tell you to
turn back around, okay?

Why? What is it
you think we'll see

that we haven't
seen already?

Mom. We have cable.

Yeah.

Girls, please just
do what I ask.

Hey, hey. That's our lady.

Have you seen the man yet?

Ain't seen him,
ain't smelled him.

Okay, girls.
Hold hands, turn around.

Can somebody get me
an update, please?

We're on the woman.
No sign of our guy.

Hey, I can't see anything, guys.
What's going on?

Nobody made a move
on her. She, uh...

she just got on the train.

Looks like she got
a pretty good seat, too.

Still no homeless guy, either.

Can we turn around now?

Yeah. Yeah, you
can turn around.

I don't understand.

It was supposed to be
today, I'm sure of it.

WOMAN
Paging Dr. Bender.

Yep.

You must be Joe.

I'm an attorney, Joe.

Mostly corporate work,

but I did handle your
parents' affairs for them.

Anyway, I need you
to help me with something.

What's that?

Your mother's will.

Or, more accurately,
the lack of one.

You're saying she
has no will?
Oh, no, no, no.

She has a will. It's something
I drew up for her

right after your
parents divorced,

but it hasn't been
amended in years.

Because of that, if
something were to happen,

there'd be a substantial portion
of her estate unaccounted for.

And those assets
could stay locked up

in estate court for years.

Okay. So she'll
amend her will.

Well, that's the thing.
She won't.

She won't even entertain it
as a topic of discussion.

She just keeps insisting
that she's gonna be fine,

she'll take care of it
when she's feeling better.

My mother seems to be having
trouble absorbing her diagnosis.

Uh, okay, no, it's fine.

I-I-I'll talk to her.

I'll get her to attend to this.

Hey, Mom.

How are you feeling?

I'm a little
bit tired, mm-hmm.

Will you drink
something for me?

Hmm. For you?

Mm-hmm.

There you go.

How beautiful.

You didn't have to do that.

Oh, they're not from me.
Sam Diller

came by while
you were asleep.

Oh.

Hey, Mom?
He says he's been trying

to talk to you about your will.

He certainly has.

It seems to be all
that he wants to talk about.

Well, it's important.

I know you think you're
going to get better,

and I do, too.

Nevertheless, the
prudent thing to do...

Don't lecture me about prudence.

I've read the same
studies that you have,

and I know all the statistics.

Well, then?
Well, then, it might be
the prudent thing to do,

but I don't think
it's necessary.

Mom, you can't be sure.

Of course I can.
How?

Because I have been given
assurance by a higher authority.

You remember three years ago,
when I had my first scare?

I came to see you while I was
waiting for the test results,

and I talked to your wife.

I asked her if she could tell me
anything about my future.

And she had a dream, Joe.

She dreamt that
I was at Bridgette's graduation,

and that I was celebrating with
all of you, the whole family.

And that's years from now.

Mom...

So, I don't really
need to worry

about a new will
right now, do I?

Hello?

Hi.

Joe, hey.
I-I just tried to call you.

It went right to voicemail.
Is everything okay?

I don't know.
My head is spinning.

Plus, I'm staring at
a sign that's telling me

I'm compromising people's health

by talking on a cell phone
in a hospital,

but I don't care.

Joe?

My mother said that you told her
that she was going to live,

at least long enough to see

Bridgette graduate
from high school.

Well, she was sick.

You remember.

She was having tests done,
and she was worried and...

She kept begging me
to dream about her.

And I just couldn't get her
to understand

that it doesn't work that way.

So you lied?

I was trying to give her hope.

Joe...?

She thinks she's going
to beat this.

You get that, right?

She thinks she's gonna come back
from stage four brain cancer

because of what you said.

I mean, she doesn't even
have a proper will.

Okay, I will talk to her.

I will make her understand.

No, I'll make her understand.

I'm sorry. I love you.

Honey, I love you.

How are the girls?

The girls are fine.

Okay. I should go.

Joe, I'm so sorry.

I know.

Everybody copies that.

We're just waiting
on your signal.

I'm sorry, Allison,.

you say that this man
disguises himself as a vagrant?

Look, I'm saying he spotted the
stakeout we set up for him.

He went back
to the parking lot.

He took off his,
what, costume?

He had on nice clothes.

He had a nice haircut.

His car is cleaner than mine.

But Allison, everybody
who has had any kind of
contact with this fella

says not only does he
look the way he does,

but he also reeks of urine.

Okay, what better way
to make sure

no one remembers
what you look like

than to disguise yourself
as one of the kinds of people

that people don't notice?

The kind of person that
people just turn away from.

The kind of person that no one
can bear being around.

I know it sounds crazy,
but this is our suspect.

This is our man.

Allison, we don't even know
if there is a suspect.

For all we know,
this guy Adam Tallmadge

jumped in front
of the train on purpose.

I'm telling you
he was murdered.

He was killed by the same man

who planned on murdering
that woman

at the train station
the same way.

You know what, let's
distribute this sketch.

Say this man is wanted
for questioning

in relation to
Adam Tallmadge's death.

If he does exist, maybe
someone will turn him in.

It's the best I can do, Allison.

Good.

Good morning.

Good afternoon.

Wow. That's some
serious sleeping.

Hmm...

I had no idea.

The nurses said
you had a rough night,

so they gave you a little
something to help you rest.

Can I order you some food?

No, no.

Just-- let's sit
for awhile.

Listen, Mom, I
called Sam Diller.

He's coming by
in a little while

to talk to you
about your will.

Why? I told you I'd take care
of that when I got home.

Mom, I'm just worried that
you're never going to get home.

Why would you say
something like that to me?

I told you...

I know what you told me.

Listen, the things
that Allison said--

the dreams that she said
that she had--

she made them all up.

She knew you were scared,

so she told you these things
to make you feel better.

Go get me my makeup bag.

Your makeup?

If Sam's coming over,
I want to put on some makeup.

Go and get my makeup bag.

Allison, it seems I may
owe you an apology.

It appears likely that
the death of Adam Tallmadge

was a murder, after all.

And we think we've
located a suspect.

You're kidding.

I'm about to go down and
take a look at him now.

Would you care
to join me?

He died of congestive heart
failure sometime last night.

A beat cop found his body
in the Eighth Street alley.

I know you said he was only
pretending to be homeless,

but if he was, he was
doing a hell of a job.

Cop found his body
beside a shopping cart

full of the guy's stuff.

It sure as hell looked like
he was living out of there.

We don't have an I.D. yet,

but hopefully it's only
a matter of time.

That's not him.

That's not the man who
killed Adam Tallmadge.

I beg to differ.

He was wearing the exact
same coat you described.

The same one three
other witnesses saw

the morning Tallmadge died.

And we found Tallmadge's watch
inside his shopping cart.

What else do you need, Allison?

This man obviously
wasn't wearing

any kind of disguise.

But the evidence
does indicate

that he was involved in
Adam Tallmadge's death.

Is it possible that you somehow
misinterpreted what you saw?

I don't know, maybe.

I think his name was Jerry.

Excuse me?

Jerry.
Why do you say that?

Well, he's got a name tag.

Name tag?

It was just right here.

It said "Burger Palace."

It was the same kind
of name tag that
Adam Tallmadge had.

It said his
name was Jerry.

Jerry, huh, from
the Burger Palace?

All right, I'll
check it out.

Although it doesn't look
like Jerry here's

held down a job
for quite some time.

Hello.

Hey, it's me.

Oh, hey, Joe.

I saw your mom's name come up
on the caller I.D., and...

and I panicked.

Yeah, I'm calling you
from her house.

It's so weird being here
by myself,

with everything that's going on.

How is she doing?

She's the same.

Did you guys get a chance
to talk?

We sure did.

So how did it go?

Well, she's a rock.

She absorbed it,
and then she put on makeup

so she could meet her lawyer
and revise her will.

I'm so sorry.

I-I still feel
terrible about this.

She really wants
to see the girls, Al.

She wants to see all of you.

I think it's time.

Okay.

I'm going to get off the phone,
get on the computer

and I'll book us a flight
for first thing in the morning.

I think
that would make her happy.

Please tell her again
how sorry I am.

And I really look forward
to seeing her.

Of course I will.

I really miss you.

I miss you.

Hopefully I'll see you tomorrow.

Yeah. Honey, of course you're
going to see us tomorrow.

I love you.

I'm sorry, Jerry.
I didn't mean to scare you.

Oh, this damn cough.

It's me, it's
David Ostrowski.

We worked together
years ago-- Burger Palace.

The Burger Palace--
I remember.

That's right, summer of '88.

You worked the
fry-o-later,

Adam Tallmadge
worked the grill.

I handled the register.

You came to see me
a couple weeks ago.

You... bought my jacket from me.

That's good, Jerry. Yes,
I did buy your jacket.

And now I'm here
to give it back.

No.

Uh-uh. No!

A deal's a deal.

Plus, I already spent
the money you gave me.

I don't want the
money back, Jerry.

I just want to give
the jacket back.

I can't use it anymore.

Use it?

Yeah.

I had some stuff
to take care of,

and I'm finished now,
and so I'm giving it back.

Here.

Let me help
you put it on.

It's okay.

Okay, it's okay. It's okay.

David...

Allison?

Marjorie.

Hello?

Hey.

I'm sorry to call so late,

but I just heard
from the hospital.

Mom's gone.

Mr. Ostrowski,
good morning.

Manuel Devalos. Thank you
for coming on such short notice.

That's a nasty cough, sir.
You feeling all right?

It's always like that.

It's a chronic thing.

I'm a little confused.

Are you sure you have
the right Ostrowski?

I can't imagine what you folks
could want with me.

We just have a
few questions.

Shouldn't take long. Please.

No. I'm sorry.

He doesn't look familiar to me.

His name is Adam Tallmadge.

The two of you
worked together years ago

at a branch of the Burger Palace
in Chandler.

I believe our research indicated

it was the summer
of 1988?

Wow. Okay.

That was a long time ago.

Mr. Tallmadge was
killed recently.

Someone pushed him in front of a
commuter train a few days ago.

Seriously?

I heard about that,

but I had no idea
that I knew the person.

Look, I don't know
how I can help you guys.

I honestly don't remember him.

There were a lot of us
who worked

at the Burger Palace
that summer.

There were 14, actually.
We checked.

That's Jerry Thornton.

He's another coworker.

Okay.

If you say so.

But he obviously didn't look
like that 20 years ago.

Mr. Thornton's
been homeless

for the better part of a decade.

We found him dead
the other night.

Initially, it looked like
a simple case of heart failure.

We did a routine tox screen,
and nothing unusual came up.

Okay.

Then I received a tip

suggesting we look
a little closer.

We ran some additional tests.

Turns out your old friend died
from an insulin overdose.

If you give someone too much
of the stuff,

it causes
a hypoglycemic reaction.

Cause of death appears
to be heart failure...

unless you know
what to look for.

Okay.

Uh, I... I'll take
your word for it.

But why are you telling me this?

Indulge us for another moment.

That's Ingrid Martinez.

She worked with you, too.

We think that someone
was planning to push her

in front of a train
earlier this week.

It didn't happen
because we placed

extra law enforcement
at the station.

Okay.

We believe all three
of these events

are connected, Mr. Ostrowski.

I'm sorry. Connected how?

Because they all had
the same summer job back in '88?

I know--
sounds crazy.

But did you know
that during the summer of 1988,

the insulation
in the Burger Palace kitchen

where you worked
contained asbestos?

I think you must.

After all, you filed a
suit against Burger Palace

alleging that the
asbestos in the piping

caused that cough of yours.

Yes, that's true.
I did file a suit.

Is something wrong with that?

No, not at all.

And from what I understand,
it's quite a compelling case.

So compelling,
as a matter of fact,

that the Burger Palace
didn't want to take it to court.

Which is why
they offered to settle.

They realized that if they
did settle with you,

they would face lawsuits
from everybody

who worked at that franchise
in 1988.

Which is why they offered
you a group settlement.

One lump sum, to be divided
among all the workers

who were exposed
to that asbestos.

Now, to hear their lawyers
tell it,

they gave you a choice.

Accept the group route or...

they would use
their considerable resources

to tie your suit up in court
for years.

Well, they're a big company.

And yes, they're playing
hardball. So?

So, you knew
that the fewer people around

to claim their piece
of the settlement,

the larger your share would be.

Our guess is that

every member of the group
that was eliminated

is worth about
an extra million to you.

You can't prove any of that.

I urge you to take
a look at the stain

on the right elbow
of that jacket.

We believe it's mucus.

The right elbow--
that's where you tend

to cover your mouth
when you're hacking up phlegm

from your asbestosis,
isn't it?

If we were to test your
DNA against the DNA

on that portion
of the jacket,

we'd find a match,
wouldn't we?

Hey.
Hey.

Oh. Oh, honey.

I'm sorry
I couldn't pick you up.

Honey, how can I help you?

Did you get any

sleep last night?

You mean, like, in a bed,
where you close your eyes?

Sweetie, you need
to get some rest.

I would that I could,
but I got a eulogy to write.

You know what I regret?

I regret that I didn't let you
make that call.

I regret that the two of you
didn't get to talk.

She loved you, Allison.

She loved that I
was married to you.

And I think she understood
about the lie.

I do.

I even kind of think she
was grateful for it.

Come on.

You get some rest.

It was such a long trip.

Okay.

I'm going to be in the
living room for a little bit,

trying to sum up a life.

Oh. Did you just get back?

Who are you
talking to?

♪ ♪

He's writing
a beautiful eulogy.

He's really
a pretty terrific son.

He's a pretty terrific
husband, too.

God, I was worried about you.

Last night,
when you came to see me,

you came and went so quickly.

I was worried
that you were angry.

No. Just confused.

I didn't really understand
what had just happened to me.

I felt wonderful
and wonderfully sad

all at the same time.

It's funny-- nothing in life
prepares you for death.

I feel terrible
about what I did--

deceiving you like that,
giving you false hope.

It's okay. I understood.

But how could you?

I just did.

I knew from the first day
you told me.

Deep down, I thought...
this is a lie.

This is a beautiful,
generous lie.

But I liked it, so I lived it.

As long as I could, anyway.

It seemed so much nicer
than the truth.

Take care of my boy
and my granddaughters.

I've peeked,
and there's some darkness ahead.

What do you mean?

What kind of darkness?

I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have done that.

It's going to be
a wonderful life.

Well, wait.

Tell me about the darkness.
Allison.

Who you talking to?

Nothing. No one.
