Hemlock Grove

Glad you decided to come, Maggie Sue.

The road's a lonely place.

The wife isn't much of a traveler.

The wife isn't a lot of things.

What if love has passed me by.

Well, it's nothing to be afraid of.

It's just a part of plain old, everyday lovemaking.

I remember when the president said

it wasn't even sex, really, more like a form of greeting,

a show of affection between friends.

Son of bitch!

Jesus!

Oh, fuck. Oh, fuck.

Oh, fuck.

Oh, fuck.

Shit.

Shit.

It's OK.

Don't try and move.

I'm gonna call for help.

Our father who does art in heaven,

deliver me from evil, with liberty and justice for all.

The idea is that like attracts like.

Why it's called the law of attraction.

Focus on... focus on positive things,

and you'll end up with positive results.

Focus on the negative, and you'll

end up with more of the same.

My recent illness, for instance, or this shithole

I'm living in, direct manifestation

of negative thought.

Thankfully, I put that awful disease behind me.

Soon, this dreary dump will be a thing of the past.

But I am grateful for all of it.

Wake up calls, really, to get me to change my doom and

gloom outlook and step into the light

of my own joyous prosperity.

That's the promise I made myself.

You, of all people, know I live up to the promises I make.

I want to thank you, Michael.

Without your encouragement, Norman might never

have shown his true colors.

Whining, pathetic man, angry and empty.

Still, I drew his negativity to me, I suppose.

Law of attraction.

You see how it works, Michael?

You willed bad things for me, but

you only brought on bad things for yourself,

just like that little sister of yours.

Well, I have a houseguest coming,

so it's time for you to go now.

Bon voyage, as they say.

It must have hurt like a motherfucker.

For a second, I thought you really were dead.

You have to commit if you want to sell it, my friend.

You got some giant balls taking a hit like that.

The Romantics are world renowned for their

testicular girth.

1,000 thank yous for what you did.

Yeah, well, you saved my life.

Anyways, it was great being out with you guys.

Full moon.

Felt good.

- As well it should. - All right.

Cheers, boys.

These are your people.

You're one of us.

Seeing as how this worked out so well,

I've got something else in the pipeline.

No, I can't.

Miranda and Nadia are still out there.

Understood.

I don't mean to push.

I totally get it.

You're sure that no cops are going to come

looking for this truck?

Not in a million years.

That is the beauty of thieving from thieves.

50 crates at 200 pounds per.

Flip it cheap to move it fast.

So conservatively, we're looking at right

around 1.2 million and change.

You fellas did good.

Well, he was the brains behind the whole thing.

But you, Peter, were a rock star.

I'll store it here while you work a deal.

You're reaching out to our regular buyers.

We've got it handled.

Who wants another beer?

Did you see her?

Briefly.

I try to talk to her as often as I can,

but she moves around so much.

Sometimes I think things are harder for her

over there in the old country than she lets on.

How did she look?

Peter, listen to me.

Your mother is well.

She misses you, but she's surrounded by family,

people who love her, too.

She told me to give you this, said you were expecting it.

This belonged to my grandmother.

Thank you.

I know you went to a lot of trouble.

Trouble is what our people live for.

You, you OK, bro?

Yeah.

Linda approves.

So do I. Now you have permission

to ask my cousin to marry you.

OK.

I will make her a queen.

You better treat her right, or I'll fucking kill you.

Welcome to the family.

I'm getting absolutely nothing.

All we can do is keep trying.

I had a case out in LA once.

Wife went missing, suspected homicide, and the family

brought in a clairvoyant.

Never did find the woman, but, man, I tell you,

that psychic, mad skills locating the client's wallet.

Mm-hmm.

I have a special gift for divining assholes.

Well, far be it for me to cast aspersions,

but when you're trafficking in the realm of the unseen,

there are those who might want to take advantage,

grifters and so forth.

Present company excepted, of course.

I gotta go.

All right. Thanks, D.

Mm-hmm.

OK, smart guy.

What do you got?

Transcripts.

My interviews with every patient in Spivak's practice.

Unremarkable for anything out of the ordinary.

Traveled the world a little bit doing

some pro bono medical stuff, was not banging his nurse.

Better man than I am, real dime piece.

What else?

Spivak got his medical degree at Leipzig University

in Germany.

He studied immunology at the University. Of...

He's German?

Beats me.

Traced him as far back as med school.

Dead ends there.

Well, what about Mirinda's family?

Father's deceased.

Tracked down the mother in Provo, Utah.

Hadn't spoken to her daughter in 10 years.

Contacted every morgue and hospital

up and down the East Coast.

No Jane Doe's matching the description.

Same with the baby.

So basically, you show up here empty handed,

expecting to get paid.

I put in the hours.

I get paid.

That's how it works.

Sounds like a grift to me.

You care so much about these folks.

I gotta ask.

Why me?

Why not go to the police?

Police get involved, things get public.

And you're looking to be discreet.

I understand.

This baby you got me searching for,

there's no birth certificate.

Technically speaking, it hasn't been born.

People hire me to find shit out, mostly,

where's the money, who's fucking who, so forth.

What is it that you're not telling

me about this kid, this girl?

I gotta know.

Otherwise, I can't do my job.

This is all the information you need.

Keep digging on Spivak.

I expect results.

Dr. Price, there's an anomaly.

Anomaly?

That tells me nothing.

But it would be an anomaly, I suppose,

if you actually communicated meaningful information.

The specimen is experiencing an excessive amount

of chromosomal deletion, which is causing it to...

I know what it causes.

Did you try the, the...

Blinsky, you know what I asked you to do, the amniotic...

the, the thing, you know.

Had no effect.

Did you get any sleep last night?

That's no concern of yours.

How did this happen?

I suspended the safety protocols, as you asked.

But the amount of growth hormone required...

Creeping mother of Jesus, what are you trying to say?

We should dispose of the specimen and start over.

Give up, in other words.
