My husband and brother were in an accident.
Could you hold?
Please understand the gravity of the situation.
I-I haven't been able to speak with them. I-I-I don't even know if they're okay.
Look outside, ma'am.
You're not the only person trying to connect with a loved one.
You're going to have to wait.
They put me on hold.
Listen, I don't want to upset you, but I need to know what happened to them.
Don't worry about it, Dorothy.
Everything's gonna be okay.
I'm sure they'll come home to you in one piece.
Mrs. Turner?
Yes, I'm here.
I'm ready for you now. Please give me the patients' names.
Um, okay. Sean Turner and Julian Pearce.
- I can patch you up there if you want. - Oh, yes. Yes, please. Thank you so much.
- - Please hold.
Hello?
Sean. Oh, Sean.
Thank God. Are you okay?
Dorothy, I'm okay. Listen, Dorothy, I need to see you.
There's something we need to talk about.
Anyone hear us?
Well, I'm with Leanne.
Honey, what are we gonna do?
I can't leave the house.
Honey,
I don't think I'll be discharged anytime soon.
The hospital's crowded.
How long do you think?
I don't know. Days. Maybe a week.
Sean, I don't think that's gonna work.
Listen, Dorothy, let me send you something.
Tobe can bring over a basket of food, so you don't have to worry.
I don't need food. I need you home.
- I can't do that right now. - No.
Let me do something for you.
Prosciutto, black truffles, all your favorites.
No, Sean.
I know, honey.
Listen, 8:00 a.m. Tobe will stop by and bring the food.
Don't forget.
Trust me. Everything's gonna be okay.
- I love you. - Yeah.
We're okay as long as we're close together.
We can't let her see that we're afraid.
We can pretend, okay?
- -
Hello?
Hi, Dr. Wodell.
It's Dorothy Turner calling again.
Oh, hi, Dorothy. Just a sec.
Dorothy?
How are you feeling?
Leanne?
Did Dr. Wodell tell you how close the knife was to your artery?
It's a miracle you're still alive.
Dorothy's stronger than both of us combined.
She'll fight you.
Rest well, Sean.
After you heal, you're gonna have to build yourself a whole new life.
That'll take some effort.
Dorothy?
I'll just stay here tonight.
The storm might scare Jericho.
I know that you're afraid without Sean.
- - We're all right.
We're all right. Okay.
I thought it made more sense to have the sofa facing the television.
When did you do this?
Couldn't sleep. I was too excited.
I thought that maybe the three of us could watch a movie.
Okay.
Only if you want to.
No, I want to.
Great.
That'll be Tobe.
Could you get the door?
I think you should get it.
Tobe and I--
I need to use the bathroom anyway.
- -
I'm coming.
Yes. Thank you so much, Tobe.
Oh, we do miss them, but the doctors say they're healing well.
Yes.
Okay, I will. I'll tell her.
Okay, thanks again. See you soon.
Tobe says hello.
- - Could you help me with that basket?
Mmm.
What should we watch?
I'm fine with anything.
Well, you pick.
You can set it up upstairs, and Jericho and I'll be up in a moment.
Don't you think I know you by now?
You're trying to distract me so you can leave.
Like you always do.
Look outside.
You really think Jericho and I could get anywhere in my condition?
If I could've left, I would've.
We'll watch in here.
Rainy days really are the best movie days.
Should we watch something scary?
No, it was an accident. I didn't mean to kill anybody.
Well my little pretty, I can cause accidents too.
Aren't you forgetting the ruby slippers?
The slippers, yes! The slippers!
Leanne?
Yes?
I'm really not feeling great.
They're gone!
My back. My legs.
I think I should probably take a pill and knock out for a bit.
Would you mind watching Jericho for a bit?
Like, give him a bath, read him some books.
You sure you don't mind giving him to me?
Of course not.
I know you love him.
- ...You have no power here. - Begone, before somebody drops a house--
Why don't you go get the bath toys?
You can bathe him in yours while I rest. Yeah?
Sure.
Jericho, Mommy just has to go outside and talk to Daddy,
and then I'll come right back for you. I promise.
I just have to talk to Daddy, and then I'm gonna get us out of here.
We'll never have to see her again.
You just be strong for a little while.
I love you more than I've ever loved anything.
Hey. You ready?
- Yeah. - Okay.
We're-- We're gonna go have a bath.
Ooh.
There you go.
There you go.
Rest well, Dorothy.
Say, "Bye, Mama." Mmm.
Bye. Bye.
- - Mm-hmm.
Come here. Let me wash your hair.
Jeri, put your head up like this. What's that?
Come here. Come here. No.
- -
What are you doing?
- - What? That one?
That one?
Oh, yeah. That one. You want that.
Hey.
- Hi. Hi. - Dorothy.
- God. - Hey.
Oh, my God.
- - Oh, my God. I'm sorry. Oh, God.
What happened to you both? Leanne do this to you?
Kind of. She's fucking crazy.
That's what I've been trying to tell you, Juju.
- Yeah. - I missed you.
I didn't think I was gonna make it.
That basket.
What if Leanne had gotten to it before I did?
Tobe said she's, um, been avoiding him recently,
so I figured if she heard his name, she'd let you go to the door alone.
He means something to her.
Dottie.
Sean... we need to do this.
I know.
What?
Dottie.
There's something we need to talk to you about.
Maybe we should have this conversation someplace else.
Let us take you to Frank's.
Kidding? I'm not leaving.
I know what I'm asking of you. But you gotta trust me on this one.
Trust you? Jericho's in there with her.
Dottie.
No comments yet. Be the first to leave one.
