Don't Say a Word Page #3

Let's do exactly what he says.

- Nathan, why don't we caII the police? | - Because we can't.

Because I believe him.

Happy Thanksgiving.

A**hole.

- Aren't you and Jessie hittin' the parade? | - She's got a cold, Danny.

No signs of sexual assault.

I see evidence of injury in her neck.

Signs of bleeding in the | strap muscles overlying her Iarynx.

I don't know, Syd. This girI | does not match any of my missing persons.

AIso evidence of a fracture | on the Ieft tip of her hyoid bone.

Syd. How'd she die?

No blunt instrument here.

- Her neck was snapped in two. | - By what?

By two hands.

Syd. Same technique used | on this Battery Park floater?

Same dislocation of the skuII.

And the splotches on the body?

Cigarette burns. He was tortured.

And he had prison tats? OK.

I'm also gonna need fingerprints | and dental x-rays on our Jane Doe, pronto.

You know this is Thanksgiving?

You're right.

Hope her family isn't waiting on her | to carve the turkey.

Cassidy, I'm not susceptible | to your guilty-me buIIshit.

She probably helped | her mom with the dishes.

Fingerprints and dentals. Then I'm outta here.

Thank you, Syd.

SIow it down.

Come on.

RoII down your window, sir.

- Officer, I'm a doctor. | - Congratulations.

- See that tuba player roIIing off your hood? | - I need to get through this parade.

I need an escort to | the Bridgeview Psychiatric Hospital.

Do I Iook Iike a freakin' helicopter? | Use 57th Street Iike everyone else.

- He's talking to the cops. What do we do? | - Be patient.

There's a young girl who could die.

So, Officer, you can either | help me save this girl...

Or not.

Get outta here. Move on. | Can I have two of you?

Let's go. Right over there.

Hold the band right there.

Open those gates for me, guys.

The son of a b*tch. He just picked up | a police escort and cut through the parade.

I like that.

- What? | - The police escort. I like it a lot.

- You didn't teII me the context of the number. | - She knows.

This girl has a decade | of pathology to unravel.

Even if she knows, | your five o'clock deadline is absurd.

In my experience, people are at their best | facing unreasonable deadlines.

You can'tjust flick a switch in her head.

Trust me. It does not | work that way in these cases.

The money's bad, I know. | But you have family obligations right now.

And Nathan? Don't Iose the phone.

- The doctor has Ianded. | - Did he double-alarm the car?

- Nope. | - Good. We pot him focused.

- Do you have the key to Dr Sachs's office? | - Yeah.

- Open it, please. | - But Dr Sachs isn't here.

Open it.

I thoupht Nathan explained the rules | very clearly. Put the cellphone back.

There's no percentape | in breakinp those rules.

You sick son of a b*tch.

- You hurt my Iittle girl and I'II... | - You'll do what?

You were about to say something personal.

I think.

- No. | - That's pood.

If your husband is on his game today, | you've nothing to worry about.

There's a good side, Aggie. This wiII bring | you much closer than the occasional ski trip.

Or sponpe bath.

The remote is to your Ieft. Pick it up.

Pick it up.

Good. Now turn it on.

Try HBO.

No. I've seen this. A bit too violent.

Try a nice family drama.

- Nathan. What are you doin' here? | - You're not supposed to be here.

- How'd you get in? Who let you in? | - You're supposed to be in Greenwich.

Why are you here on Thanksgiving?

Why am I here? I gotta testify | in a double homicide on Monday.

I thought I'd come to my office | to do a Iittle research.

You broke into my files. | Those are my pers...

- I woulda given you the key, man. | - Have you gone through aII of this?

No, it just got here. But I've been through the | master file. It's a swamp of misdiagnosis...

- I think she's overlaying. | - Overlaying?

She is a briIIiant mimic. | That's why Rockland couldn't figure her out.

She's highly adaptive. She takes on | the symptoms of other patients.

She's Iike a counterfeit schizophrenic, maybe.

I can't believe it's aII smoke and mirrors.

That would place her | in the malingerers' haII of fame.

I gotta believe there's | some genuine pathology beneath it.

She has classic post-traumatic | stress symptoms. Her PTSD is real.

Seeing her father die, that was ground zero.

And she also believes that | something or somebody is after her.

That is why she stayed institutionalised these | past ten years. She wants to stay inside.

So, 20 different hospitalisations,

20 different diagnoses.

AII overlaying. Nathan, that would make her | a very talented young Iady, wouldn't it?

Or desperate.

- Louis? | - Yeah?

Does anybody know I'm treating | EIisabeth Burrows besides you?

Everybody. I put it up Iast night after you Ieft.

Figured you might be back. | Wanted you to have clearance.

I also reinstated your password. Gate, please.

EIisabeth, good morning.

Are you feeling better?

I brought you something.

A chocolate turkey.

The sugar'II help you metabolise | aII those meds they've been giving you.

Do you Iike Thanksgiving? | It's my favourite holiday.

Wanna touch?

- Sorry? | - I saw you Iooking.

I know what you're trying to do. | You want to embarrass me. It won't work.

The other doctor?

- Dr Sachs. | - Yeah.

- I don't Iike him. | - I can understand that.

Very f***ing funny.

EIisabeth, there's something | important that I have to ask you.

But first I wanna show you something.

I have a daughter. She's eight.

Going on 18.

Her name's Jessie.

I have some of her favourite things here.

This is Horton Hears a Who!

I've read it to her so many times, | it's pretty worn by now.

And this... | She Ioves to draw weird pictures of me.

And this.

This is SaIIy.

Would you Iike one of those?

I'II make sure the hospital lets you keep it.

Butyou can only choose one.

- What the heII is this? Toys "R" Us? | - Want me to choose foryou?

- Dr Conrad? | - Yes?

Get out.

No.

I wantyou to leave.

No. We're not finished talking, EIisabeth.

I know what you're trying to do.

You wanna embarrass me. It won't work.

What's your name?

Your hair's really Iong.

My hair used to be that Iong | but my mom made me cut it.

What's that thing on your neck?

It's kind of impolite | not to answer someone's question.

It's a symbol.

- What's it mean? | - Don't talk.

EIisabeth, there's something I need to know.

Jessie.

Jessie? That's my Iittle girl's name.

Wanna see a picture that Jessie drew?

I'II make you a deal. I'II show you | the picture if you answer my question.

Is it worth just one answer? | I don't mean a yes or no answer.

Maybe.

I'm gonna ask my question now, EIisabeth.

Is the man that you hurt in Rockland...

Did that have anything to do with the terrible | thing that happened to you in the subway?

Come on, run.

Come on, honey, run.

- I didn't know what you were talking about. | - Run.

I didn't know who "they" were | or what "they" wanted.

- Now I do. I know how bad they wanted it. | - Leave.

I know how important it was | for you to hold onto it.
