Jenny: I want you to tell me what happened, Ian.
Dr. Peterson: I don't follow.
Jenny: I studied all of your reports, and at the beginning of your career, you were, you were thorough and you were sharp, and then- and then something changed.
Dr. Peterson: Nothing changed.
Jenny: Something changed around ten years ago. You started acting erratic, you were sloppy, you didn't dig deep into anything.
Dr. Peterson: I've lost my appetite suddenly.
Jenny: What was it? Was it, I mean, was it the divorce? Were you sick? I mean, were you drinking? Like, just say something mitigating and I will give you a job recommendation right here, right now, because you are a good pathologist.
Dr. Peterson: I am a, I am a great pathologist.
You know, If I were gonna use a radioactive isotope to murder someone, I said if, I'd wanna make sure that it did the trick, and that means getting it inside their body, inside their bloodstream, ideally.
Dr. Peterson
Dr. Peterson: Where was your mother?
Jenny: She was in, uh, she was in Palm Beach since I was eight.
Dr. Peterson: Explains why you didn't have an abortion.
Jenny: I'm sorry, what?
Dr. Peterson: You didn't wanna be a deadbeat like your own mother, so you kept the baby to re-right her wrongs.
Jenny: How does your wife cope with you?
Dr. Peterson: Oh, she doesn't. She u,m she left, right after Emmett went off to university.
Jenny: Sorry.
Dr. Peterson: Don't be. Everyone deserves to be happy. Even ex-wives.
Jones: I so despise a staged home.
Greer: Isn't it so that you can imagine yourself living here? Why they stage it?
Jones: Fake art and furniture that'snever been lived in? No, no, I wanna ... see I wanna see every nook and cranny. I wanna see ... every loose floorboard. I wanna learn its secrets. you know, where it's vulnerable.
Greer: People want their houses to be solid.
Jones: Well, I think of flaws as character, uh, vulnerabilities as an oppurtunity.
Greer: Why is that? are you a contractor of or something?
Jones: No, no, no, no, no. I'm still trying to figure out what I am. I've been away for a long time.
Greer: Have you seen the ravine out back? It's a real selling point.
Jones: Hm, yeah, yeah, no it's, my god it's wonderful. If you wanna get murdered in your own home. I'm sorry. That's a terrible joke from someone you just met. I'm Gerald Henry Jones. Do we know each other?
Dr. Peterson: I was right about her. Camilla said that she's been head of Health and Safety for three years. Spencer said that they'd been married for three years. That is not a coincidence.
Jenny: Yeah, well, maybe you just have a problem with women being in power,
D. Peterson: Well, I'm here, aren't I? Helping you when no one else would go near you?
Jenny: Okay, what happened to you, to make you like this?
Dr, Peterson: You fired me, and you destroyed my career.
Jenny: No, actually, you destroyed your career. I just noticed.
Sabina: I'm not used to being ghosted. And, when I didn't hear back from you after Thanksgiving -
Alison: Yeah, about that -
Sabina: No, you don't owe me anything. I just, I wanted to make sure you're okay. That I didn't overstep.
Alison: Sabina, I'm gonna tell you something that will probably make me seem unhinged, but I think you deserve to know, so I'm just gonna say it. Sometimes I feel like there is a finite amount of happiness I can have in my life.
Sabina: You don't seem like a pessimist.
Alison: No, I think I'm more of a realist, especially since it took me eight years, and most of my savings, to get pregnant with this baby, which has made me happier than I've ever been. And then that night that we ...
Sabina: Thanksgiving?
Alison: Yes, that night. It made me even happier. Which made me really scared. Does that sound dumb? That's dumb, right?
Sabina: The way you feel is the way you feel. I'm just glad you're okay.
Alison: Come home with me.
Sabina: What, like right now?
Alison: No, we're still in lockdown, but um, after. I made a mistake, I want a do-over.
Sabina: You gonna call me in the morning?
Alison: No, because you'll still be there. I mean, if you wanna be.
Jenny: You know what? I'm just gonna have to figure this out myself.
Dr. Peterson: While you're locked in this room.
Jenny: Yeah, well, can't be harder than passing med school with a seven-year-old at home.
Dr. Peterson: Then I'd like to help. Let's start over. Hi, I'm Ian, and I stole Glen King's personal effects.
Dr. Peterson: They still don't know how, when or why Glen King got exposed to the radiation.
Jenny: Well, what's taking so long?
Dr. Peterson: The CNSC and CSIS are battling for jurisdiction. Everybody's strangling in red tape. It's like an acronym orgy. You're stuck here until somebody wins.
Jenny: Yeah, well you don't exactly win an orgy now, do you?
Sabina: I was coming up to meet Jenny for lunch, um, then the whole place was put on lockdown so, I'm kinda stuck here,
Alison: Well, uh, seeing you here it's making me feel a lot better.
Sabina: Okay. Great. 'Cause I didn't know how this would go, considering -
Alison: The body downstairs? The radioactive one? I passed by it like ten times this morning. So, to be honest, I'm completely freaking out right now. I just keep thinking of that part in Terminator 2 where all the kids in the playground get vaporized. And I'm worried that that's what's happening to my baby right now.
Sabina: Alison, listen, you're obviously fine, which means your baby is fine. And if you weren't would all these suits just leave you standing here?
Jenny: Hey, Alison, it's me. Is your, uh, os your cell working?
Alison: No one's phone's working. The signals are scrambled.
Jenny: What do you mean, scrambled?
Alison: Like eggs. Terrifying eggs! CSIS showed up.
Jenny: The feds are here?
Alison: And they don't want any information leaving this building. Jenny, they're saying the decedent could be a terorist or a spy of some ther risk to national security.
Dr. Baitz: Wonder why he ran outside instead of calling 9-1-1?
Dr. Allen: Maybe his cell was dead.
Dr. Bairz: This is why you shouldn't live alone.
Dr. Allen: I am not getting back with my ex just so I have someone around in case I have a heart attack. I'd rather get a landline.
Dr. Baitz: Your funeral.
My name is Glen King, and if you're seeing this, it's already too late. It's too ... too late.
Glen
