Second Chance

Previously on "Second Chance"...

How'd you know about this place, anyway?

Her grandfather took her here.

If I catch you hanging around Gracie again,

I'm gonna snap your fingers off, drummer boy.

I know you don't like helping Pritchard,

but I do.

It makes me happy.

If we go in two directions, we will pull apart.

What's wrong? What happened?

Your blood...

it worked.

Her system is clear of cancer.

May I ask what we will do with Mr. Pritchard?

He'll be leaving.

This is weird, not having to do this anymore...

get hooked up.

Just kind of half getting used to it.

I know you didn't ask for any of this, but thank you.

For saving my life.

Hey, it wasn't all bad.

Got to live here and drive that car.

I should thank you for bringing me back from the dead.

Nobody's ever done that for me before.

You know, that day that you brought me back,

you said that Otto couldn't be without you.

I guess now you can go back to taking care of him.

I guess I'll find my own place to live.

Now that you're cured,

there's not really much point in me being here.

No.

Now that I'm cured, there's not.

Otto says he can move the tank wherever I go.

It's automated. Sends you updates or something.

I can have Alexa line up some places for you to see.

No, I can take care of it.

Of course you can.

Sorry.

You know, I never thought it would work...

...this cure.

Never thought I'd have to figure out

what to do with the rest of my life.

I know what you mean.

Cured. Not remission, but cured?

Yes. No need for further treatments.

Now I'll never get Lookinglass or Otto,

and without Otto, you can't have George.

You don't need Otto.

I snuck into the lab. I-I sent you the data.

It wasn't enough.

The information wasn't enough for my scientist

to reverse-engineer how he brought Pritchard back.

What do we do?

You mention here that Mary and Pritchard

have grown close, right?

Oh, they would never admit it,

but I can see it when they're together.

All right.

Oh.

You're gonna use Pritchard to take Otto away from Mary?

No, we're... we're just going to show Otto

that the man he brought back to save his sister

is taking her away from him.

- That's... - Mr. Graff...

sneaking into a lab is one thing,

but if Mary were to find out that we turned Otto against her,

her... her heart would break.

There's got to be another way.

Alexa.

Alexa, I realize you've grown very fond of Mary,

but you have to remember what your purpose was.

Otto brought you back to save her.

When he saw that you couldn't, that you were twisted,

that your blood wasn't right for her, he just threw you away.

You were unformed when I found you...

where Otto left you there to die,

but as soon as you could speak, you said one word.

You remember?

I said...

"George."

George.

George is your purpose now.

He's old.

And he's near the end.

But he doesn't have to be.

If you want George here with you,

you're gonna have to break Otto away from Mary.

Okay?

Alexa, where are we with the attendees

for the cancer cure meeting?

All Lookinglass department heads will be here in the office.

Legal, too.

Heads of Bio-Research from Stanford, Harvard, and M.I.T.

will be on the poly-com,

and reps from the F.D.A. will be on speaker phone.

Good.

James won't be living with us anymore,

but his blood is the basis for the cure,

so how often will he need to be at the lab?

We don't need him at the lab.

What do you mean?

Once I stockpile enough of his blood samples

as the basis for the research,

we'll never have to see him again.

_

_

It's really too bad.

What is?

Oh, that Mr. Pritchard won't be here with us anymore.

Why is that?

Well, it's silly.

I just... a little part of me thought

it wasn't just his blood that was saving your sister.

Of course it was just his blood.

What else could it have been?

Oh, I'm not a scientist.

I just thought, when they're together, Mary seemed...

I don't know, more alive.

You're right, Alexa.

You're not a scientist.

Oh, I almost forgot.

Connor Graff called.

He said he was free tonight

if you're in the mood for a game.

Yes.

I think I am.

Arrange it.

This is a nice part of town.

Not anymore.

Since when?

2004, 2005.

The whole place went to crap after I left the office.

What a surprise.

I don't know why you're moving out at all.

I thought you liked it there.

I did, but now Mary's cured,

there's no need for me to be there anymore.

What about the, uh...

the tank?

Oh, the egghead can move it.

See, this can't be right. 5 grand a month?

This area's all warehouses.

Not anymore. Lofts... high-end.

Yeah, exposed brick, open plan.

Since when?

A while.

But now that she's cured,

there's no other reason for you to stay there?

Why she might want you there?

No.

I know what you're getting at,

but, no, I was there for just one reason.

And I'm glad it worked out. I am.

But it is time for me to go.

Exposed brick, huh?

Open plan.

Open plan's when you...

live together but you're not married, right?

Sometimes I forget how old you are.

Well, I'm sorry. I haven't done this in a while.

I lived in the house that you and Helen grew up in

for 40 years,

and then after I left office, it was, uh...

Left office? Thrown out.

Resigned before that happened, thanks.

And then after your mom died...

you moved me into my place.

I just... I just... I don't know how this thing works.

Get a broker. You might like that.

Most of them wear skirts.

Oh, I-I do like skirts.

- Let me ask you something. - Mm.

You got this big house,

just you and Gracie rolling around in it...

I don't think you'd like it there.

Why?

Well, Gracie's always having friends over.

You know, teen girls, they get loud.

And there's your drinking and card playing, coming home late.

Well, just... Gracie would love to have me there, right?

And there's the tank.

Yeah, the tank. It's the kicker, isn't it?

Well, I could leave it where it is.

I could just go back and forth until I find a place of my own.

Well, if you're going back and forth,

then you might as well stay there, right?

You don't want me to stay with you.

I just think it would be problematic.

The only problem is you don't want me there.

In fact, now I come to think of it, you never did.

Oh, that's not true.

Is that why you tried so hard to move me after your mom died?

You never asked to stay with me.

I shouldn't have to. You're my son.

I was grieving and alone.

No, you... you were playing cards and drinking

and you never asked.

I shouldn't have to.

Agent Pritchard.
