The Vatican Tapes Page #2

Yeah, well, to my dad, murder and living

with a guy in sin are the same thing.

What, is your dad, like, super religious?

He's Irish Catholic.

He believes in heaven and hell.

Wait. So... So, he doesn't like me?

He's not psyched about us living together.

You have to understand,

my dad is from a different era.

Is he telling you to tell me to marry you?

You think highly of yourself.

He wants me to move out.

I need to take a leak.

"A leak"?

Well, stay away from the wine coolers.

Hey, Ange, where's the...

Where's the steamer?

Ange.

Angela.

Angela!

Did you get lost

on your way to the bathroom?

Hey. Wake up.

I need the steamer.

Ange. Hey.

Ange, wake up.

Roger! Roger!

- What is it?

- I can't wake her up.

She was acting really strange a minute ago.

Go get the pills that the hospital gave her.

And turn the lights on.

Sweetie.

Angela, I need you to wake up.

Can you do that for me?

I need you to wake up.

Wake up, wake up, wake up.

Get the pills! Bring me the pills!

There's nothing here

says this is a side effect.

I came back.

I've got you, I've got you, I've got you.

- I came back. I can't breathe!

- Sweetheart, calm down.

I need you to breathe, sweetheart.

I need you to breathe.

Look at me, look at me.

Breathe in. And out.

In.

That's it. Out. In. Out.

I've got you, I've got you.

I've got you, sweetheart.

I've got you. I've got you.

Okay. Okay, sweetie, I've got you.

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.

It's okay. Daddy's got you.

It could certainly be a lot of things,

but everything we did on our end

was standard procedure.

I want to run a couple of tests

to rule out any problems.

I think it's best, Angela,

if we keep you overnight.

Are you okay, sweetie? It's okay.

Hi.

What's that?

That's strange.

These were perfect a second ago.

What a rip-off. I'm going to toss them out.

No, no, it's fine.

- They're all floppy. Are you sure?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

- Let's go home.

I think we should file for a malpractice suit.

I'm serious. I talked to a buddy of mine.

He's pre-med. He said it's a no-brainer.

- What's so funny?

- Nothing.

Well, you know, my daughter,

she likes to earn her money.

Dad!

I didn't say that she didn't.

What do you mean?

Malpractice is one of the stupidest ideas

I've ever heard.

Hey, hey. The argument that didn't happen

between you two earlier

is not going to happen now, okay?

We're going to eat and smile and that's that.

- I'm just trying to say...

- Yeah, but don't.

Can you just...

- Hey, Ange, I'm...

- Hon, okay.

I'm fine.

Okay. I'm sorry.

- Ange, what are you doing?

- Angela!

Stop! Stop!

Get away!

Stop!

Watch out.

- Jesus.

- Bay four.

On the left, sir.

Colonel?

She slipped into a coma.

Get the paddles ready.

10 cc's of epinephrine. Here we go.

Here's what we have.

She's got severe lacerations,

a broken collar bone,

contusions on her right arm

and both her legs,

and increased cranial pressure.

The other passengers

are just suffering minor injuries.

What about the taxi driver?

He still can't recall the incident,

but the girl's father said it was an accident.

You're gonna have to make

an official statement, Doctor.

Of course.

- Well, Father, thanks for joining us.

- Of course.

I know you spent some time with the family.

That's right, I have. Yeah.

Well, this has been very troubling.

How's the dad doing?

Okay.

Well, let's get into this.

She's been with us for nearly two months.

There are 42 days in the coma, I believe.

- Actually, my report says 40 days.

- Well, my mistake, 40 days.

There's been no brain activity

and she's on full life support.

Then, Father, perhaps it's time

you talked to the family.

You look like an angel.

I know why you're here.

Roger, these things are never easy.

The last rites

are given to those

not only who are about to pass

but also as a celebration of life.

Father,

the car crash wasn't an accident.

Our Father who art in heaven,

hallowed be Thy name.

Thy kingdom come.

Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread

and forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive those

who trespass against us.

Lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

What is that?

It's just the body's normal process

when it shuts down.

Don't let it alarm you, Mr. Holmes.

What?

Hold on a second.

Miss Holmes, can you hear me?

She's breathing.

Are you alive?

Get a cart in here! We have to stabilize her.

Come on!

I can't believe it.

- She's responsive.

- It's a miracle.

Just give her space.

Let her breathe, let her breathe.

I thought I lost you, honey.

Well, it looks like everything is normalized.

Miss Holmes! Miss Holmes!

Get her!

Hold on to her!

I got her. I got her.

- Hold onto her arm.

- I didn't do anything! It wasn't me!

It wasn't me!

- You got her?

- I've got her. Hold her up.

The IT guys, they can't restore

the footage of her walking in and out.

Who left the room unattended?

According to the computer,

those doors were locked

until security opened them.

Who is in Angela's bed?

Obviously, these cameras are out of sync.

We have to get the police involved.

Angela Holmes?

- Hang on, hang on, hang on.

- That's my daughter.

- I understand.

- Officer, that's my daughter.

We just have to ask her a few questions.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Hello, Angela.

My name is Detective Simmons.

I just want to ask you

some questions about last night.

The hospital wants to press charges

against you, Angela.

It's a very serious offense.

Aggravated assault on a minor.

It's a felony.

Do you want to tell me why you did this?

Trent.

Do you mind?

- Go right ahead.

- Well, thank you.

Hey, sweetie.

What are you doing with that?

What are you doing?

Jeez, what are you... Trent!

What are you doing? Stop it!

Man, stop it! Stop!

Help! Help! Somebody!

Oh, my God.

Code trauma. Code trauma.

I need somebody to call code trauma stat.

You have to understand,

this is only temporary.

This is one of the best facilities

in the state for evaluation.

I'm more than sorry

about what happened to that man,

but my daughter didn't do that.

She didn't touch the guy.

It's an evaluation. As soon as she's clear,

she can go back home.

- I don't understand this.

- I understand.

The hospital is being cautious.

Cautious? She just came out of a coma.

And now what, all of a sudden,

she's supposed to be crazy?

It's just an eval.

She's my daughter.

And I know my daughter.

This isn't Angela. I know her!

Have faith.

I need more than just faith, Father.

I need a...

I'm going to be here every day. I promise.

Roger, God is going to

see you through this.

- She's not even here on time.

- Good morning, everybody.

Thank you, David.

You can sit down. You can sit down.

Morning.

- Can I start today, please?

- Control freak.

Don, let's not do that, okay?

Everyone gets a turn.

Well, she went first yesterday!

She went first the day before!
