Frankie and Alice Page #6

---

You're gonna fix her, right? You better!

Try to think of a place she might go

when she wasn't acting like herself.

We like to call our servants "staff."

Quite often, we would treat them like family.

Wait, Alice. Maybe I knew your aunt.

Why, sure I did.

Jemima?

Or perhaps it was your uncle.

Did you have an uncle named Tom?

- Thank you for my drinks, gentlemen, but I...

- Hey hey, Alice, wait. I was only fooling.

- Excuse me.

- You haven't finished your drink.

- Sit down.

- Alice!

I'm sorry I'm so late.

Let's go.

Hey. Hey!

Who's gonna pay for her drinks?

It's a curious thing,

but the thought of breaking your nose

is almost as satisfying as actually doing it.

You came for me?

Of course I did.

Thank you.

You came for me.

Give that necklace back to me! ifs mine.

- It's mine! Give it back to me!

-Mama!

No! Mama!

I know he died.

It's something you have to face.

We was in love, then a car killed him.

What else you want to know?

I don't remember that much about it really.

Well, maybe she does.

That's her?

Does that name mean anything to you?

But I want to see her.

Is that something you can help me do?

Yeah.

HOW?

Sh*t.

You don't have no idea, do you?

You're not alone.

Well, no sh*t!

You lied to me, Doc.

- No, I didn't.

- Yeah. You did.

You ain't tell me that

I didn't have to be here by law.

Well, I withheld some information.

Yeah, well...

That's okay.

If we're gonna keep workin' on this thing,

there's somethin' I'm gonna need.

Dr. Oz, is that all?

Yes. Thank you.

What's this?

Where'd you get that from, Doc?

You steal that sh*t?

Can you put those away?

Sorry.

You should try this though.

Really good!

I want you to concentrate on the light.

Focus solely on the light.

There's nothing but the light.

And you're no longer here.

It's no longer now.

We're going back to your youth...

Going back to Georgia.

What are you doing?

This is my brother!

Get out of my house, you filthy degenerate!

Get out!

We had to leave.

Because of what happened with Pete?

He was gonna take me to a place

where nothing mattered.

Not money...

Not family...

Not the skin color.

He loved you?

You came for me.

He loved me so much.

But he died?

Miss? Miss, can you hear me?

His hand,

I want to touch it,

but I can't touch it.

What happened after the accident?

After he died, what happened?

Mama.

Your mother? Edna?

Mama.

It hurts, Mama. It hurts!

Frankie?

She lied to me.

She made me a promise and she broke it.

What kind of promise?

Why the only promise that really matters!

Alice, what promise?

What's happening, Frankie? Where are you?

Can you tell me where you are?

"With skin and flesh you clothed me,

with bones and sinew, you knit me together.

"Your hands have formed and furnished me.

Will you then turn and destroy me?"

Who wants to destroy you, Alice?

Mama!

Is it coming, Mama?

What is it? What's coming?

Frankie, what's coming?

Mr. Oz?

Is that you, Mr. Oz?

Yes, Genius. It's me.

She's hurting.

I know. I know she's hurting.

She's hurting!

- And she's crying!

- Yeah.

She's crying.

The pain will go away, Genius.

Frankie will be okay.

It's not Frankie.

-It's not Frankie!

- Then who is it?

- No, Frankie!

- Who is it, Frankie?

- Mama, is it coming?

- Yes, baby, it's coming.

Just breathe, Frankie. Just keep breathing.

Push...

-it hurts, Mama. It hurts.

- I know. Push, baby.

Push. Push.

Mama... Is it coming, Mama?

- Mama! Please, make it stop!

- All right, baby. Just come on, now.

Can you see it?

- Tell me what it is!

- Come on. Come on.

Me and Pete,

we got names picked out.

Emmett if it's a boy, and if it's a girl...

Frankie...

Okay, baby. Okay. Thank God.

- Mama, is it out?

- Yes, baby.

Tell me what it is. Is it a girl?

What? Mama, what's wrong?

Mama? What's wrong?

Mama, why isn't he crying?

Let me see my baby.

Wait, Mama! Where are you going?

No, Mama!

Mama!

No!

Mama!

Mama!

With skin and flesh you clothed me.

With bones and sinew, you knit me together.

Your hands have formed and furnished me.

Will you then turn and destroy me?"

Who wants to destroy you?

Mr. Oz?

Is that you, Mr. Oz?

Ifs me.

She's hurting.

I know she's hurting.

And she's crying!

- Frankie...

- I saw a hand move.

My mama killed it.

Our memories are not always trustworthy.

Maybe the child

wouldn't have survived anyway.

Perhaps your mother just tried

to protect you from that.

Protect me?

Every dream I had was in that baby.

It's the only thing I had left of Pete.

Me and Pete,

we got names.

If it's a boy, we gonna name it Emmett...

And if it's a girl...

Alice.

We were going to call her Alice.

Do you think my mama killed her?

I think all of us have to face

something we've done,

mistakes we've made,

things we've allowed to happen.

The things that would've happened anyway.

But I don't think it's the blame

that's important.

I think it's the facing of it.

If we don't, there's no chance ever for us

to become whole.

Are they gone?

No.

But so long as you continue to experience

simultaneous co-presence,

you have a chance of achieving

successful integration.

In English, Doc?

You'll have to learn to live together.

Wall Street, Tina baby. Wall Street.

I will be putting it on your mid-term.

Like a fresh start. Well, I can work with that.

ls Alice going to let me be me?

That's between the two of you.

You have to understand,

treatment is indefinite.

And integration is only the beginning.

The ultimate goal is acceptance.

How long will that take?

Honestly?

I don't know.

Guess we'd better get started.
