[dramatic music]
[violin music]
Mommy.
Mommy!
Mommy.
Mommy!
Mommy.
Help me, Mommy!
I need your help!
Don't care.
You can hide and
seek all you want.
Don't care.
Mama doesn't care.
What the fuck?
Doctor Russo, get it together.
Happy New Year
from Wuhan!
Jackie, I really think
you should
have come.
I know you have your.
You're trying.
But look,
Elizabeths fine.
Elizabeth, say hi
to Mommy!
Why can't we see her?
Well, were make a
recording for her.
Say hi!
Hi Mom, Chinas so
pretty and cool.
I know, she said pretty,
not gritty.
You're lying.
And I know you think
I forced her to say that,
but I didn't.
I didn't force her.
See, she didn't hear your.
Anyways, we're doing fine.
We're doing great.
One day you're
going to be able to do this too.
Elizabeth's fine, right?
Hi mom!
What does he think?
I want to go to a country.
Youre lying.
Where there's
diseases everywhere.
Why is she even there?
I don't understand,
I dont understand.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday,
dear Elizabeth.
Happy birthday,
Elizabeth.
Happy birthday,
my baby girl.
Happy birthday.
Happy birthday,
Elizabeth.
Why are you not here?
I missed you
so much.
Where are you?
You keep coming
and I never see you.
You don't like
my drawing.
[Jackie cries]
Hello?
Elizabeth?
Elizabeth.
I just wanted to make
sure everything's okay.
I heard something loud.
I was just
watching the TV,
it was very loud.
Oh, you have a package.
Don't touch that!
Drop it!
Sorry.
Now I cant even
open it for 24 hours.
Harper!
How do I know youre not sick?
It might be in,
-Are you kidding me!
in your blood.
You do not go outside.
Look at me.
I told you this before.
Get back in the house.
Where are you?
Coming to get you.
I know where you are.
It's your favorite game.
I know where you are.
Elizabeth.
Elizabeth.
Where are you?
[dramatic music]
Why wont you call me?
Where are you guys?
I miss you so much.
[phone ringing]
Mom, you look great.
I know, Im, I'm so sorry.
I want to come there
and see you, but
I know you're alone,
but I can't.
Mrs. Duff?
What are you doing?
Please.
Mom?
Mrs. Russo,
your mother needs
rest right now.
Who is that?
Why, why are they
saying that?
You were told
she was going
to go on a ventilator.
No, this is
-Your mother cannot
Doctor Russo.
be on the phone right now.
Please, Mrs. Russo, please.
Well, I need to know
what's going on
with her
-Mrs. Duff? Are you okay?
right now
Mrs. Duff!
So she has a tube
down her throat?
I thought she just
had an oxygen mask.
You were informed
she was going on a ventilator.
This doesn't even
make any sense.
How can you not
tell me about this?
Your mom is not
in a position
to speak on the phone
right now, please!
[Jackie screams]
What's happening to her? Please!
Breathe. Breathe.
Look at me.
No, please.
Then what are you afraid of?
I'm afraid of too
much peanut butter
getting stuck into
the roof of my mouth.
No. I'm serious.
What are you afraid of
more than anything?
Dying alone.
But it won't happen
because I have you.
Stop it!
What is wrong with you?
Stop it, stop it, stop it!
Leave me alone!
[frame breaks loudly]
What am I losing
my whole family?
I miss you
so much.
And you're going to
come home to me.
Youre all going to
come home to me.
Momma misses you
with all her heart.
I love you
so, so much.
Gonna be okay.
Its gonna be okay.
Hello.
This is 911.
What is your emergency?
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to call you.
Ma'am, do you have
an emergency?
No, it was a mistake.
I'm sorry.
If you don't have an emergency
at your location,
you should not be
calling this number.
I was sorry I said
it was a mistake.
Alright, please make
sure to only call
this number for emergencies.
I understand.
Hello.
You've reached Saint Luke's?
Hi, I'm calling to
check up on my mother.
And what was
your name again?
It's Doctor
Russo.
Doctor Russo, yes,
I see youre not
currently listed as
Mrs. Duffs physician.
I'm not.
I'm her daughter.
Of course. Of course. I see.
Jackie Russo.
Doctor Jackie Russo.
Correct.
I see, it seems
there's a situation
that the charge nurse
will call you about.
No, no, no, no, no,
I gotta know what's
going on with her.
Please tell me I need,
I need something,
something, anything.
I see, well.
Youll just have to wait.
Its my mother,
It's my mother.
I completely understand, Maam.
How can you not tell me
something about my mother?
It won't let me go there.
I can't drive there.
I can't do anything.
But I just need
some information.
Unfortunately, the charge nurse
is currently dealing
with the situation
and well have to get
back to you
as soon as we can.
No, please.
I just want some
information about.
Mommy, you didn't find me.
No, I can't find you.
I dont know
where you are.
[person coughing]
Oh. I'm sorry.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
Oh my god,
you have COVID! Fuck off!
Oh, fuck.
You're getting
pretty close, dude.
Hey, do you have toilet paper?
I only have one left.
I mean,
we can use that one.
You look scared shitless.
Oh, my God, look at her.
Look at her!
You know what?
Fuck you.
[Aiden and Finn laughing]
Oh.
Dude, don't mess up,
all right.
Ive got a Zoom date.
[phone ringing]
Hello?
Hello, Mrs. Russo.
I'm a representative
from Saint Luke's.
How's my mom?
Shes critical but stable.
Oh, what does
that exactly mean?
Well, Mrs. Russo, its,
its unfavorable.
However, how her body
behaves through the night
will be very important,
she will need
to fight.
So, do you think
shes going to
be okay?
Im not able to
give you an
answer to that.
Im sorry.
But, she is
currently stable and
once she fights
through it,
we can give you
an update.
You know,
she asked me to
come there.
I understand Mrs. Russo,
but you cannot
come here.
I know that.
I just.
I just don't
want her
to be alone.
We completely understand,
were currently taking the
best care of her that we can.
Could someone please
stay in the room
with her, please?
Were currently
monitoring her 24/7
but we are
very packed,
Im not sure
if we can have
one of our personnel
spend all of their
hours to be with her.
Youre not even
trying to find me.
Stop it!
Mom. Mom!
I told you to
stop it right now!
Mom!
You have to find me.
You have to find me.
You have to find me.
Okay.
Stop this.
I'm not doing this
game with you anymore.
Not happening,
not happening.
I know where you are,
but I'm not looking for you.
I don't care where you are.
Don't care.
You can hide and
seek all you want.
Don't care.
Mama doesn't care.
What the fuck?
Come on, none of you
fucking people answer!
Hello.
Thank you for calling
State Department of the
United States of America.
Due to these
unprecedented times,
we are experiencing
exceptionally long
wait periods.
If this is an emergency,
please hang up and dial 911.
If you would like
us to call you back
when an officer is available,
hit 8.
Hello?
Hello.
No, no, no, no, no.
Do not fucking hang up.
Please do not hang up, dont.
I can't do this,
Im never gonna see them again.
I cant get through
to the government
I cant get through to anyone.
I don't even know if
my fucking family is alive.
I don't fucking know anything.
[Jackie cries]
Will you stop!
Stop!
Get away from me!
Get away from me!
Get away from me!
Youre everywhere!
Hi babe, Im actually glad
youre not here right now,
theres a lot of
people getting sick.
Theres some sort of
weird, like, virus
or cold going around.
But I dont want you to worry.
Im fine, Elizabeths fine.
Say hi to Mommy!
Why cant we ever see her?
I told you that its a
long distance, say hi!
Hi Mommy miss you!
Mommy, you didn't
finish watching my video.
I can't hear you.
I cannot hear you.
But right now I
miss you so much.
You stay in my head.
Like never.
Ever hugged me.
Its the hardest day of my life.
Where do you keep going?
You talk to me and you
just, just disappear.
And Mommy loves
you so much!
I dont understand
whats happening.
I dont understand
whats happened.
[dramatic music]
[Jackie cries]
[dramatic music]
Good, you're all here.
Good. You're all here.
Wait. Rebecca's missing.
Shes probably dead.
Christ, Bob!
Gosh!
Bob, I've told you
a million times
not to say this,
because it's not nice.
And you say this
out of your fears.
Why do you say that, Bob?
Its what we all were thinking.
Thats enough!
We're here to share
and to support each other.
Fine. Dennis. You're up.
What do you have to say?
No.
Why do you even ask him?
We always give everyone
a chance to share.
If I didn't participate
like Dennis,
would you still sign my papers?
Participate my ass.
Come on, guys,
we can do this.
Wait, I will share something.
Um.
Have you guys
been hearing the
cheers that happen
every night at 8:00?
Wait, the 8:00 Howl?
Is that what it's called?
Oh my gosh. Yes.
And I love it.
I love it, too.
Well, uh
I guess I just want to say
that I think it's nice.
It's a reminder
that we're all in this together.
It's the only time I don't feel
alone.
Thank you, Dennis.
Veronica,
is that a breathing tube?
Wait, are you in
the hospital, Veronica?
No.
Being sick and all.
You're in the high
risk group, aren't you?
[Veronica coughs]
Yes, I'm fine.
Fine?
Babe, you're on a respirator.
It's not a respirator.
They don't have enough
to get you a respirator.
I don't need.
[Veronica coughs]
Did you even check in
with your primary physician?
Wait, everybody.
That reminds me.
Do not take ibuprofen
if you start
getting sick or have a headache.
What, we should take
fish tank cleaner
or just inject Lysol instead?
What? No, ibuprofen
is not safe, okay.
I saw a video by a doctor
who said everyone who's died
that wasnt already
sick or elderly were
found to have ibuprofen
in their system,
and it actually makes
the virus worse.
I heard that it can live on
the bottom of your
shoes for five days.
None of us are safe.
Actually, Doctor Russo,
I would like to share
a different way,
if that's okay.
Yes. That's okay, Veronica.
I wrote this.
[somber piano music plays]
[Veronica gasps for breath]
[Veronica gasps for breath]
[Elizabeth laughs]
[Elizabeth cries]
No!
Shes dead.
Should I go over there?
Oh, my God, did you hear the way
she was fucking breathing?
Wait. She doesn't
live too far from me.
Maybe I should go
and check on her.
Call 911 and have
them send an ambulance.
I'm ending the session now.
Hello?
This is Officer Brown
from the Department of State.
Yes. Hi, this is Doctor Russo.
Oh.
No, no, no, don't oh me.
Look, Doctor Russo.
I don't need you to take.
Look at that, look at yourself.
I've been calling
you for months.
You're barely
answering me.
I have my
family missing.
What is wrong with you?
We're in the middle
of a crisis right now.
Im in a fucking crisis too!
Ma'am, calm down.
How would you feel
if your family was missing?
Your daughter,
your son, your wife,
or anyone?
I'm alone here
and I don't know where they are.
I mean, have you
even contacted, like,
contacted anyone?
Like anyone in China?
Your case has been assigned.
To who?
I'm going to need to
put you on hold.
No, do not put me on hold!
Do not put me on fucking
God damn hold!
Fuck!
[dramatic music]
Are you playing on
Daddys computer?
No.
No?
What are you doing?
Working.
Working!
I know you love animals.
You think its
gonna be 10 years?
Doctor Russo,
am I interrupting anything?
No.
Don't touch your face.
Don't worry. It's fine.
It's just a reminder.
It's good. Thank you.
I haven't seen
you look like this
since you started
seeing me.
You haven't thought about
or tried to hurt
yourself again, have you?
Yeah.
I just can't deal with my hair
and shaving anymore.
I mean, what's
what's the point, right?
We are not even
allowed to go out, so.
When was the last time
you took your medication?
This is going to be our
last session, Doctor Russo.
I don't think that's
a good idea at all.
Yeah, well,
it is what it is.
I know you don't like it
when I bring up your medication.
It has nothing to do
with those damn pills.
Those damn pills
that you haven't been taking?
They take away my
creativity and energy,
which I need to run
my innovative business
and function
in my fucking life.
I will promise you,
you will not lose
your creativity.
They make me feel
blind and I cant feel
blind and get
in the fucking zone.
It's common for people
with bipolar disorder,
especially creative and dynamic
people like yourself, Suresh!
I hate that word.
Look, I need to be in the zone
to wake up in the morning
to lead my team,
to deliver projects.
I need to be in
that fucking zone.
And you lose track
of all the space
and the time in the process
means you're actually
in a dangerous place.
I was doing fine.
I was perfect before.
How much are you sleeping?
I don't know.
Pulling all-nighters?
Yeah. Sometimes.
You know I don't
need as much sleep.
We've talked about this before.
Come on.
Well, I bet you're probably
sleeping a lot now.
Yeah, probably just catching up
on all the sleep.
Well, studies show
that you cant actually
catch up or make up
for previous lack of sleep.
Well, studies are stupid.
We know that, right?
Are you experiencing
racing thoughts?
Look, I'm an idea, man.
It's, its, natural for
me to brainstorm
and get excited about ideas.
Okay?
So yes.
So, I don't know.
Impulsive spending?
No.
Well, yeah, sure.
But it was all an investment
in my business.
It was nothing exorbitant
or reckless.
Well, It sounds a
little exorbitant to me
for a small startup.
Look, it's not like I was hiring
prostitutes or passing caviar.
Speaking of prostitutes.
I should have
never told you about that.
It happened once. Once.
Years ago.
I'm just asking
if your sex drive increased.
Are you engaged
in any risky sexual activity?
I'm not talking
about my sex life
with you anymore.
That's clear.
Okay, okay. That's fine.
Did anyone complain
about you talking
too fast or ask
you to slow down?
I'm a fast talker.
Not right now.
Only when I like the topic.
I think it's clear
that you're in a state of,
of hypomania.
Really, I was doing great.
I was doing fine.
And for the longest time,
I had no big mood swings.
[dramatic music]
Okay, so the
longer period of mania.
I thought you agreed
not to use that word.
You're right, you're right.
The longer period
at the top of the mood spectrum,
the bigger the crash
to the bottom.
We saw this coming.
Nobody saw this coming.
It's not like I'm crazy
or have ridiculous mood swings.
I never said you were crazy.
I don't like that word.
Nor do I describe
your mood swings as ridiculous.
It's this fucking virus.
Nobody saw this coming.
The economy was booming.
My business was doing great.
I had signed that Murphy's Deal
I told you about.
Murphys Deal.
More like fucking Murphy's Law!
I invested everything in it,
even borrowed against it.
Well, that sounds risky.
No, it wasn't.
It wasn't. Everything was fine.
We had signed the deal.
It was going to be a
game changer for me.
But then this fucking
pandemic happened.
And now my business is
ruined and my life is fucked.
No, it's going to be okay.
But you just need to take care.
Don't!
Don't what?
Don't you dare
tell me to take my medication.
And don't tell me that
things will be okay.
Suresh, I promise things.
Things will be okay?
Yeah. That's what you were going
to say to me again?
Things will be all right.
No. Things will be okay for you.
You sit all smug in your cute
little home office
watching cutesy
videos on your phone.
You charge $350 for 45 minutes
just to see us
poor, crazy people
on video chat.
And for what?
Just to tell us to
take our medication.
Yeah. Things will be okay
for you, right?
You haven't gone through
a single thing I have.
I had to shut down my business.
That I invested everything in.
Everything.
You don't even understand
what that word means.
I had to lay off all
my employees who trusted me.
And now they don't even.
They're not even eligible
for unemployment.
Are they going to be okay?
So I have my rent
due in a few days.
If I pay it, I won't
have any money to buy food.
But I'm going to be okay, right?
So I have a few
more months before
I'm officially homeless.
They need to let the young
and healthy like me
and my team
go back to work and quarantine
only the sick and elderly.
Maybe then things will be okay.
You know what?
I think I'll take those pills.
I think that's a good idea.
Yeah, I'll take all of them
with a fifth of Jack
and some bleach.
And I'll add in some ibuprofen
for good measures.
That's not funny.
Yeah, I know.
I need to know that you're
not going to do that.
Well, since this is
our last session,
I guess you'll never know.
That's going to be a
great way to catch up
on all the sleep, right?
Right, doc?
[Suresh hangs up phone]
Oh.
Suresh?
Hello?
Suresh?
Gotcha! This is
just a recording.
Dont worry
everybody falls for it.
Leave a voicemail.
Youve got to be kidding me.
You gotta be kidding me!
He doesnt want to
call you back.
And you, stop talking to me!
Why are you wasting
your time on him?
I need you!
I'm not listening to you.
Im not listening to you!
911, what's your emergency?
Hello? Can, can you hear me?
911. What's your emergency?
Hello?
911, what's your emergency?
I need help right now.
Like right now, right,
right, right this second.
I see, what's your emergency?
I have a client right now.
-Mommy!
Hes gonna kill himself.
-Mommy!
And overdose right this second.
If you dont help him.
I don't know what
he's going to do.
I have a client.
Mommy.
-Mommy.
And he's.
He's overdosing right now.
Alright, I understand, ma'am.
Please calm down.
Is he threatening you
or someone else?
No, we got to save his life
right now.
He's all alone. No one can help
him right now. Please.
He's going to have a suicide.
I need someone to
go to his house right now.
Yes ma'am, I understand.
Please calm down.
Is he sick?
Im not going to calm down
and hes not sick!
Hes.
He needs help, like right now!
I understand, ma'am.
-He doesnt want to be found
I don't have time
-but I do!
for a phone call,
And we don't have time
to keep talking to you. Go.
Go to his house.
All right, ma'am,
I just need his address.
I don't know his address.
Alright ma'am, I can't help you
if you don't know his address.
I can give you the address
to my office.
And then in the files,
you'll find his name.
Suresh Rash.
Right there youll find it.
And then you get his address.
You go right there and save him.
They are so close to each other.
Please, maam
don't let another person die.
Please.
Ma'am, there must be dozens,
if not hundreds of Suresh Rashes
in the Los Angeles area.
I'm going to need.
I'm telling you
where to go right now.
Go to my office.
Get the fucking files
and go and save a life.
You can save a life right now.
How can you not do that?
Ma'am, you need to calm down.
I cannot help you
if you do not tell
me how to help you.
Have I not told you
how to help me?
Literally. Like honestly what?
What do you want more from me?
Please, just.
Once you get his address, please
call us back and
we'll be able to help.
I already told you
the only address
we have is 355 Marine Drive, LA.
Ma'am.
No, no, no,
we go there right now.
Know his name.
You have to save him,
he's going to die.
Alright, so he's at that
address right now?
Yes, please.
Not your office?
Yes.
No, no, no, that's my office.
I don't know his address.
So I'm telling you
to go to the office.
I told you his name.
Ma'am.
I'm sorry we cannot help you
unless you can tell
us where he is.
I don't know the address.
I keep telling you that
I don't know it.
You have to go to my office.
533 Marine Drive.
Ma'am. We.
No, you've got to go.
And you go in there
and youll find Suresh Rash.
Go there! Now!
Ma'am, we cannot go there
if we do not have his address.
Please find it and call us back.
Oh my God.
He doesn't want to
be found, but I do.
Hello?
911. What's your emergency?
I just called you.
Ma'am, I cannot help you
if you do not have his address.
Please only call back
if you have his address.
Do you have his address?
Please,
go to my office
and get his file.
You'll get the address
and then go save a life.
You're taking more time.
Alright, ma'am,
you need to calm down first.
Im not coming down.
He could be dead by now.
He's overdosing.
Ma'am, we cannot go to a place
if we do not have the address.
If you find that address,
call us back.
[Jackie mumbling]
You can't go out there.
But its been 24 hours.
Five days on the
sole of your shoe.
Youre not real.
Its.
Mommy, Mommy, listen to me.
Mommy.
Oh, I can do it.
I cant do it.
What is it you
always say to me?
You can do anything
you put your mind to.
[Jackie mumbling]
We need you.
I have to get outside.
Get outside.
Get outside!
Okay.
Maybe you could
focus on finding me.
[Jackie mumbling]
No, no, no, I can't do this.
Cant do it.
I cant do this.
Cant do this.
I'm your daughter.
And what about Daddy?
Those are mine!
What's going on?
What are you doing?
Huh?
Like what?
Why are you throwing marbles?
I need your help.
I can't hear you. What?
I need your help.
Can you take off your mask?
Youre over six feet away?
We cant hear you.
I need your help.
Okay? What do you need?
With what?
Okay. Listen to me.
Yeah.
Yeah, we're listening.
There is a man
that's going to die.
Oh, what?
Why is he about to die?
I need his profile.
Because I need his
address to save him.
Oh. How are we supposed
to help you with that?
I will give you the keys.
No, come on.
Heres the keys to my office.
Heres the keys.
No, don't, don't, don't,
don't throw them now.
I know what you're doing.
You're trying to sell
us something, right?
No, Im not!
Please!
Its another
psychological trick.
Okay. Wait.
Okay. It's okay.
Don't, dont, pick them up!
Save a fucking life!
LAPD open up!
Okay, is there someone
actually going to die?
You are going
-Yes!
to die if you go there.
-Yes!
Why are you going there?
Go!
Okay, fine, Ill do it!
What's going on there?
You see that?
You see this?
Whats she doing?
Is that the police?
No.
That's the police.
Is she coughing?
I dont know?
LAPD, open the door.
She has COVID.
Don't!
I dont know.
She has COVID.
No she doesn't.
She wouldve said something.
What is she deaf?
Put your mask on.
I don't need a mask.
[Officer Landau bangs on door]
Open the door.
I got it.
[Officer Moon bangs on the door]
This is LAPD.
If there's a homeowner inside,
we need you to come to the door.
We're here to help.
[police banging on door]
Dont open it, Mom!
No.
That's not a good idea.
Please open up the door, ma'am.
No, I cannot open up the door.
What?
She might be sick.
It's not safe.
No?
Okay. You talk to her.
Lock it up, partner.
Relax.
Maam, you called 911
three times and hung up?
Well, maybe 1 or 2 or.
Yeah, 3 times.
Okay, then
prank calling 911
is a serious thing.
You really think I was pranking?
Those lines are only
for emergencies, ma'am.
Is this,
or is it not an
actual emergency?
[Jackie coughing]
She looks sick.
[Jackie coughing]
All right.
Ma'am, your number
has been flagged.
What?
Why would that, what? Why?
What is that, why?
Flagged, because
we need to ascertain
if there really is
an emergency or not
an emergency going
on in there.
This is the last time
I'm going to ask you.
Please open up the door.
Im not opening up the door.
I said no.
Okay.
Ma'am, if you had
some type of sick delusion.
Are you putting
your mask on?
If you had some type
of sick delusion in
calling 911, you
shouldn't be doing that.
We're going to
leave you with a warning.
[Jackie coughs]
Please only call 911,
if you have an emergency.
Lets get outta here.
And tell us if you're sick!
I promise, police officers.
[Jackie coughs]
You didn't tell us
you were sick.
I'm not. I'm not sick.
We heard you inside,
saying you were sick.
And the coughing.
No I just said that so the
police would leave here.
So are you lying to us?
Or are you lying to him?
Im lying to them.
Im not lying to you guys.
Yeah right.
I bet your parents are fine
in a house in the hills.
That's so not true.
You guys are so wrong.
I don't even think
you have a daughter
and a husband in China.
I absolutely have a husband
and a daughter.
She dont.
You don't know
what you're talking about.
Okay, you know. This is stupid.
Here, theres COVID
on the metal surface.
You know that, right?
God, just take it back, alright.
We don't want to deal with it.
We don't want to

Then call them!
Why? What are you hiding?
What's going on in there?
I need your help!
Oh, why?

If I do this for you.
Will you shut the hell up?

[dramatic music]
Where are you guys?
Where are you?
Why I can I not find you?
I feel so alone.
I dont understand
whats going on.
Ive missed you.
Ive missed you so much.
[phone ringing]
Hello?
Hello, is this Mrs. Russo?
No.
No?
Doctor Russo.
Dr. Russo,
I'm officer Eric Scott
Douglas from the
Department of State.
Did you find my family?
I am the officer who was
assigned to your case.
You found my
husband, my daughter?
No.
What do you mean, no?
Your husband and daughter
were never in China.
That's impossible.
No, no, no,
they definitely are in China.
Ma'am,
I looked for airline tickets
for Nolan and Elizabeth Russo.
I looked for credit card
activity from Nolan Russo.
I looked for phone activity
under Nolan Russo's name.
I found nothing, and that's
what made me suspicious.
What do you mean, suspicious?
That makes no sense.
Of the fact there
is no phone number
registered to Nolan Russo.
At least not
your Nolan Russo.
What do you mean,
not my Nolan Russo?
Could you tell me why
you don't have a
phone line for your husband?
I'm sorry, sir, but I don't
know why you're giving me such
a hard time right now.
When I'm the one
that's losing my family.
I can't find them.
How would you feel?
Do you have a wife?
Do you have kids?
Ma'am.
How would you feel
if you can't find your family?
And you're calling me
and telling me this?
That they don't even exist?
I understand, there
was something I found on them,
Doctor Russo.
Well, then what did you find?
I found exactly why
you don't have a phone line
for your husband.
I'm sorry, I, I, I.
I don't understand.
Ma'am, you know what I'm saying.
No I don't.
I found your husband
and daughter's
death certificates.
What?
You must be calling
the wrong person.
I think you have
the wrong number for sure.
I found your husband and
daughter's death certificates.
That's impossible.
They're there. They're in China.
I know they are.
I have videos.
Hello?
Maam, it is a federal crime
to waste State Department's
time with false claims.
False claims?
[Jackie coughs]
Youre telling me
that you can't find my husband,
my daughter?
That they're dead?
And false claims?
Dr. Russo, I suggest
you don't call the
State Department
again, understand?
No, I don't!
I don't under fucking stand!
Hello?
Are you still there?
Oh, okay.
Oh, no. Oh.
Okay.
Okay.
I have videos.
I have videos.
I have videos.
Come on. Where are you?
Where, where are you?
No, no, no, no, no.
Theyre not there.
Stop it!
Stop it!
Stop talking to me like that.
You know, I have videos,
you stop it.
I don't even think you
have a daughter and
a husband in China. [memory]
Stop it!
I have videos.
Don't you run away from me.
Go to your room!
Go to your room right now!
You need to get punished!
Go to your room.
Mommy!
You're being a bad girl.
[police siren sounds]
Denial.
It's just denial.
No.
I don't. I don't want.
You seen this before,
Doctor Russo.
No.
Think, a psychotic break
from reality.
Delusional disorder.
Obsessive compulsive disorder
can lead there when there
are more stressors than
the brain can accept.
You are not here.
Confabulation.
Convenient lies
the mind tells itself.
No.
No. No.
Youve seen this before,
Doctor Russo!
[dramatic music]
Hypocrite!
Hypocrite! [echoing]
What did you say to me?
Hypocrite!
Hypocrite! [echoing]
I'm a hypocrite?
I'm a hypocrite?
Im not a hypocrite,
I can't even find you!
Where are you?
I would do anything
in the fucking
world to have you next to me.
Im so sorry.
You look like a proper lady.
Yeah.
Beautiful.
All right, you ready?
Let's take on this
to the math fair.
It's awesome.
Taking all this.
Which one's your favorite?
I like this one.
That one.
Awesome, the bear
likes it also.
Amazing, are you happy?
I'm going to the fair.
You're beautiful.
Oh my goodness!
-Hi!
Look at my baby girl!
Mommys here!
Look at my family!
Hi, baby.

Wow!

Smile.
Smile!
Aw, give me a big kiss.
Come on!
I love, love, love, love, love,
love you, my baby girl.
Yeah, baby. How are you?
Thank you.
We're going to the math fair.
Talking about the math fair. Um.
Mommy's sorry, but she's not
not going to be able to make it
because she has to do
a really good thing,
and she has to help
another client out this time.
I can quiz while I drive.
Yeah. Daddy can do it.
Yeah. I'm a multitasker.
Yeah.
Im a multitasker.
Right?
You're going to be great.
And you know what
Mommys just going to try to do?
She's going to try
to make it there
for your opening
of your presentation.
She's coming.
You're never here for me.
Why are you never here?
Well, I am here for you.
And I love you.
And I'm always here for you.
But I don't want you sad.
Leave me happy.
Come on. Smile at Mommy.
One day.
You know how very lucky
you are to have a Mommy
that dedicates herself
to going out there
and helping other people.
No, you wont.
That's one of the qualities
that made me fall
in love with her.
See? You're the best daddy
in the whole world.
And Mommy loves you so much
and has the best baby. Ever.
I love you so much.
Yeah.
I love you so much.
Look at Mommy.
You can go now and
and help your patients.
Okay.
[Jackie blows kisses off screen]
I'll see you both soon.
Bye.
No,
because I'm never
gonna see you again.
Chow my loves.
Are you ready?
If you're gonna
save your patient
while I'm here,
you better do it when I'm not.
I don't hear you.
You're not here.
You are not here.
I have to go.
I have to go and fix my patient

Mrs. Duff?
What are you doing?
Please.

Please, Mrs. Russo, please.
Well, I need to know
what's going on
with her
-Mrs. Duff? Are you okay?
right now
Mrs. Duff!
So she has a tube
down her throat?
I thought she just
had an oxygen mask.
You were informed
she was going on a ventilator.
This doesn't even
make any sense.
How can you not
tell me about this?
Your mom is not
in a position
to speak on the phone
right now, please!
[Jackie screams]
What's happening to her? Please!
Breathe. Breathe.
Look at me.
No, please.
Then what are you afraid of?
I'm afraid of too
much peanut butter
getting stuck into
the roof of my mouth.
No. I'm serious.
What are you afraid of
more than anything?
Dying alone.
But it won't happen
because I have you.
Stop it!
What is wrong with you?
Stop it, stop it, stop it!
Leave me alone!

However, how her body

So, do you think

Im not able to
give you an
answer to that.
Im sorry.
But, she is
currently stable and
once she fights
through it,
we can give you

You know,

I understand Mrs. Russo,
but you cannot

very packed,
Im not sure

one of our personnel
spend all of their
hours to be with her.

Will you stop!
Stop!
Get away from me!
Get away from me!
Get away from me!
Youre everywhere!
Hi babe, Im actually glad
youre not here right now,
theres a lot of
people getting sick.
Theres some sort of
weird, like, virus
or cold going around.
But I dont want you to worry.
Im fine, Elizabeths fine.
Say hi to Mommy!
Why cant we ever see her?
I told you that its a
long distance, say hi!
Hi Mommy miss you!
Mommy, you didn't
finish watching my video.
I can't hear you.
I cannot hear you.
But right now I
miss you so much.
You stay in my head.
Like never.
Ever hugged me.
Its the hardest day of my life.
Where do you keep going?
You talk to me and you
just, just disappear.
And Mommy loves
you so much!
I dont understand
whats happening.
I dont understand
whats happened.
[dramatic music]
[Jackie cries]
[dramatic music]
Good, you're all here.
Good. You're all here.
Wait. Rebecca's missing.
Shes probably dead.
Christ, Bob!
Gosh!
Bob, I've told you
a million times
not to say this,
because it's not nice.
And you say this
out of your fears.
Why do you say that, Bob?
Its what we all were thinking.
Thats enough!
We're here to share
and to support each other.
Fine. Dennis. You're up.
What do you have to say?
No.
Why do you even ask him?
We always give everyone
a chance to share.
If I didn't participate
like Dennis,
would you still sign my papers?
Participate my ass.
Come on, guys,
we can do this.
Wait, I will share something.
Um.
Have you guys
been hearing the
cheers that happen
every night at 8:00?
Wait, the 8:00 Howl?
Is that what it's called?
Oh my gosh. Yes.
And I love it.
I love it, too.
Well, uh
I guess I just want to say
that I think it's nice.
It's a reminder
that we're all in this together.
It's the only time I don't feel
alone.
Thank you, Dennis.
Veronica,
is that a breathing tube?
Wait, are you in
the hospital, Veronica?
No.
Being sick and all.
You're in the high
risk group, aren't you?
[Veronica coughs]
Yes, I'm fine.
Fine?
Babe, you're on a respirator.
It's not a respirator.
They don't have enough
to get you a respirator.
I don't need.
[Veronica coughs]
Did you even check in
with your primary physician?
Wait, everybody.
That reminds me.
Do not take ibuprofen
if you start
getting sick or have a headache.
What, we should take
fish tank cleaner
or just inject Lysol instead?
What? No, ibuprofen
is not safe, okay.
I saw a video by a doctor
who said everyone who's died
that wasnt already
sick or elderly were
found to have ibuprofen
in their system,
and it actually makes
the virus worse.
I heard that it can live on
the bottom of your
shoes for five days.
None of us are safe.
Actually, Doctor Russo,
I would like to share
a different way,
if that's okay.
Yes. That's okay, Veronica.
I wrote this.
[somber piano music plays]
[Veronica gasps for breath]
[Veronica gasps for breath]
[Elizabeth laughs]
[Elizabeth cries]
No!
Shes dead.
Should I go over there?
Oh, my God, did you hear the way
she was fucking breathing?
Wait. She doesn't
live too far from me.
Maybe I should go
and check on her.
Call 911 and have
them send an ambulance.
I'm ending the session now.
Hello?
This is Officer Brown
from the Department of State.
Yes. Hi, this is Doctor Russo.
Oh.
No, no, no, don't oh me.
Look, Doctor Russo.
I don't need you to take.
Look at that, look at yourself.
I've been calling
you for months.
You're barely
answering me.
I have my
family missing.
What is wrong with you?
We're in the middle
of a crisis right now.
Im in a fucking crisis too!
Ma'am, calm down.
How would you feel
if your family was missing?
Your daughter,
your son, your wife,
or anyone?
I'm alone here
and I don't know where they are.
I mean, have you
even contacted, like,
contacted anyone?
Like anyone in China?
Your case has been assigned.
To who?
I'm going to need to
put you on hold.
No, do not put me on hold!
Do not put me on fucking
God damn hold!
Fuck!
[dramatic music]
Are you playing on
Daddys computer?
No.
No?
What are you doing?
Working.
Working!
I know you love animals.
You think its
gonna be 10 years?
Doctor Russo,
am I interrupting anything?
No.
Don't touch your face.
Don't worry. It's fine.
It's just a reminder.
It's good. Thank you.
I haven't seen
you look like this
since you started
seeing me.
You haven't thought about
or tried to hurt
yourself again, have you?
Yeah.
I just can't deal with my hair
and shaving anymore.
I mean, what's
what's the point, right?
We are not even
allowed to go out, so.
When was the last time
you took your medication?
This is going to be our
last session, Doctor Russo.
I don't think that's
a good idea at all.
Yeah, well,
it is what it is.
I know you don't like it
when I bring up your medication.
It has nothing to do
with those damn pills.
Those damn pills
that you haven't been taking?
They take away my
creativity and energy,
which I need to run
my innovative business
and function
in my fucking life.
I will promise you,
you will not lose
your creativity.
They make me feel
blind and I cant feel
blind and get
in the fucking zone.
It's common for people
with bipolar disorder,
especially creative and dynamic
people like yourself, Suresh!
I hate that word.
Look, I need to be in the zone
to wake up in the morning
to lead my team,
to deliver projects.
I need to be in
that fucking zone.
And you lose track
of all the space
and the time in the process
means you're actually
in a dangerous place.
I was doing fine.
I was perfect before.
How much are you sleeping?
I don't know.
Pulling all-nighters?
Yeah. Sometimes.
You know I don't
need as much sleep.
We've talked about this before.
Come on.
Well, I bet you're probably
sleeping a lot now.
Yeah, probably just catching up
on all the sleep.
Well, studies show
that you cant actually
catch up or make up
for previous lack of sleep.
Well, studies are stupid.
We know that, right?
Are you experiencing
racing thoughts?
Look, I'm an idea, man.
It's, its, natural for
me to brainstorm
and get excited about ideas.
Okay?
So yes.
So, I don't know.
Impulsive spending?
No.
Well, yeah, sure.
But it was all an investment
in my business.
It was nothing exorbitant
or reckless.
Well, It sounds a
little exorbitant to me
for a small startup.
Look, it's not like I was hiring
prostitutes or passing caviar.
Speaking of prostitutes.
I should have
never told you about that.
It happened once. Once.
Years ago.
I'm just asking
if your sex drive increased.
Are you engaged
in any risky sexual activity?
I'm not talking
about my sex life
with you anymore.
That's clear.
Okay, okay. That's fine.
Did anyone complain
about you talking
too fast or ask
you to slow down?
I'm a fast talker.
Not right now.
Only when I like the topic.
I think it's clear
that you're in a state of,
of hypomania.
Really, I was doing great.
I was doing fine.
And for the longest time,
I had no big mood swings.
[dramatic music]
Okay, so the
longer period of mania.
I thought you agreed
not to use that word.
You're right, you're right.
The longer period
at the top of the mood spectrum,
the bigger the crash
to the bottom.
We saw this coming.
Nobody saw this coming.
It's not like I'm crazy
or have ridiculous mood swings.
I never said you were crazy.
I don't like that word.
Nor do I describe
your mood swings as ridiculous.
It's this fucking virus.
Nobody saw this coming.
The economy was booming.
My business was doing great.
I had signed that Murphy's Deal
I told you about.
Murphys Deal.
More like fucking Murphy's Law!
I invested everything in it,
even borrowed against it.
Well, that sounds risky.
No, it wasn't.
It wasn't. Everything was fine.
We had signed the deal.
It was going to be a
game changer for me.
But then this fucking
pandemic happened.
And now my business is
ruined and my life is fucked.
No, it's going to be okay.
But you just need to take care.
Don't!
Don't what?
Don't you dare
tell me to take my medication.
And don't tell me that
things will be okay.
Suresh, I promise things.
Things will be okay?
Yeah. That's what you were going
to say to me again?
Things will be all right.
No. Things will be okay for you.
You sit all smug in your cute
little home office
watching cutesy
videos on your phone.
You charge $350 for 45 minutes
just to see us
poor, crazy people
on video chat.
And for what?
Just to tell us to
take our medication.
Yeah. Things will be okay
for you, right?
You haven't gone through
a single thing I have.
I had to shut down my business.
That I invested everything in.
Everything.
You don't even understand
what that word means.
I had to lay off all
my employees who trusted me.
And now they don't even.
They're not even eligible
for unemployment.
Are they going to be okay?
So I have my rent
due in a few days.
If I pay it, I won't
have any money to buy food.
But I'm going to be okay, right?
So I have a few
more months before
I'm officially homeless.
They need to let the young
and healthy like me
and my team
go back to work and quarantine
only the sick and elderly.
Maybe then things will be okay.
You know what?
I think I'll take those pills.
I think that's a good idea.
Yeah, I'll take all of them
with a fifth of Jack
and some bleach.
And I'll add in some ibuprofen
for good measures.
That's not funny.
Yeah, I know.
I need to know that you're
not going to do that.
Well, since this is
our last session,
I guess you'll never know.
That's going to be a
great way to catch up
on all the sleep, right?
Right, doc?
[Suresh hangs up phone]
Oh.
Suresh?
Hello?
Suresh?
Gotcha! This is
just a recording.
Dont worry
everybody falls for it.
Leave a voicemail.
Youve got to be kidding me.
You gotta be kidding me!
He doesnt want to
call you back.
And you, stop talking to me!
Why are you wasting
your time on him?
I need you!
I'm not listening to you.
Im not listening to you!
911, what's your emergency?
Hello? Can, can you hear me?
911. What's your emergency?
Hello?
911, what's your emergency?
I need help right now.
Like right now, right,
right, right this second.
I see, what's your emergency?
I have a client right now.
-Mommy!
Hes gonna kill himself.
-Mommy!
And overdose right this second.
If you dont help him.
I don't know what
he's going to do.
I have a client.
Mommy.
-Mommy.
And he's.
He's overdosing right now.
Alright, I understand, ma'am.
Please calm down.
Is he threatening you
or someone else?
No, we got to save his life
right now.
He's all alone. No one can help
him right now. Please.
He's going to have a suicide.
I need someone to
go to his house right now.
Yes ma'am, I understand.
Please calm down.
Is he sick?
Im not going to calm down
and hes not sick!
Hes.
He needs help, like right now!
I understand, ma'am.
-He doesnt want to be found
I don't have time
-but I do!
for a phone call,
And we don't have time
to keep talking to you. Go.
Go to his house.
All right, ma'am,
I just need his address.
I don't know his address.
Alright ma'am, I can't help you
if you don't know his address.
I can give you the address
to my office.
And then in the files,
you'll find his name.
Suresh Rash.
Right there youll find it.
And then you get his address.
You go right there and save him.
They are so close to each other.
Please, maam
don't let another person die.
Please.
Ma'am, there must be dozens,
if not hundreds of Suresh Rashes
in the Los Angeles area.
I'm going to need.
I'm telling you
where to go right now.
Go to my office.
Get the fucking files
and go and save a life.
You can save a life right now.
How can you not do that?
Ma'am, you need to calm down.
I cannot help you
if you do not tell
me how to help you.
Have I not told you
how to help me?
Literally. Like honestly what?
What do you want more from me?
Please, just.
Once you get his address, please
call us back and
we'll be able to help.
I already told you
the only address
we have is 355 Marine Drive, LA.
Ma'am.
No, no, no,
we go there right now.
Know his name.
You have to save him,
he's going to die.
Alright, so he's at that
address right now?
Yes, please.
Not your office?
Yes.
No, no, no, that's my office.
I don't know his address.
So I'm telling you
to go to the office.
I told you his name.
Ma'am.
I'm sorry we cannot help you
unless you can tell
us where he is.
I don't know the address.
I keep telling you that
I don't know it.
You have to go to my office.
533 Marine Drive.
Ma'am. We.
No, you've got to go.
And you go in there
and youll find Suresh Rash.
Go there! Now!
Ma'am, we cannot go there
if we do not have his address.
Please find it and call us back.
Oh my God.
He doesn't want to
be found, but I do.
Hello?
911. What's your emergency?
I just called you.
Ma'am, I cannot help you
if you do not have his address.
Please only call back
if you have his address.
Do you have his address?
Please,
go to my office
and get his file.
You'll get the address
and then go save a life.
You're taking more time.
Alright, ma'am,
you need to calm down first.
Im not coming down.
He could be dead by now.
He's overdosing.
Ma'am, we cannot go to a place
if we do not have the address.
If you find that address,
call us back.
[Jackie mumbling]
You can't go out there.
But its been 24 hours.
Five days on the
sole of your shoe.
Youre not real.
Its.
Mommy, Mommy, listen to me.
Mommy.
Oh, I can do it.
I cant do it.
What is it you
always say to me?
You can do anything
you put your mind to.
[Jackie mumbling]
We need you.
I have to get outside.
Get outside.
Get outside!
Okay.
Maybe you could
focus on finding me.
[Jackie mumbling]
No, no, no, I can't do this.
Cant do it.
I cant do this.
Cant do this.
I'm your daughter.
And what about Daddy?
Those are mine!
What's going on?
What are you doing?
Huh?
Like what?
Why are you throwing marbles?
I need your help.
I can't hear you. What?
I need your help.
Can you take off your mask?
Youre over six feet away?
We cant hear you.
I need your help.
Okay? What do you need?
With what?
Okay. Listen to me.
Yeah.
Yeah, we're listening.
There is a man
that's going to die.
Oh, what?
Why is he about to die?
I need his profile.
Because I need his
address to save him.
Oh. How are we supposed
to help you with that?
I will give you the keys.
No, come on.
Heres the keys to my office.
Heres the keys.
No, don't, don't, don't,
don't throw them now.
I know what you're doing.
You're trying to sell
us something, right?
No, Im not!
Please!
Its another
psychological trick.
Okay. Wait.
Okay. It's okay.
Don't, dont, pick them up!
Save a fucking life!
LAPD open up!
Okay, is there someone
actually going to die?
You are going
-Yes!
to die if you go there.
-Yes!
Why are you going there?
Go!
Okay, fine, Ill do it!
What's going on there?
You see that?
You see this?
Whats she doing?
Is that the police?
No.
That's the police.
Is she coughing?
I dont know?
LAPD, open the door.
She has COVID.
Don't!
I dont know.
She has COVID.
No she doesn't.
She wouldve said something.
What is she deaf?
Put your mask on.
I don't need a mask.
[Officer Landau bangs on door]
Open the door.
I got it.
[Officer Moon bangs on the door]
This is LAPD.
If there's a homeowner inside,
we need you to come to the door.
We're here to help.
[police banging on door]
Dont open it, Mom!
No.
That's not a good idea.
Please open up the door, ma'am.
No, I cannot open up the door.
What?
She might be sick.
It's not safe.
No?
Okay. You talk to her.
Lock it up, partner.
Relax.
Maam, you called 911
three times and hung up?
Well, maybe 1 or 2 or.
Yeah, 3 times.
Okay, then
prank calling 911
is a serious thing.
You really think I was pranking?
Those lines are only
for emergencies, ma'am.
Is this,
or is it not an
actual emergency?
[Jackie coughing]
She looks sick.
[Jackie coughing]
All right.
Ma'am, your number
has been flagged.
What?
Why would that, what? Why?
What is that, why?
Flagged, because
we need to ascertain
if there really is
an emergency or not
an emergency going
on in there.
This is the last time
I'm going to ask you.
Please open up the door.
Im not opening up the door.
I said no.
Okay.
Ma'am, if you had
some type of sick delusion.
Are you putting
your mask on?
If you had some type
of sick delusion in
calling 911, you
shouldn't be doing that.
We're going to
leave you with a warning.
[Jackie coughs]
Please only call 911,
if you have an emergency.
Lets get outta here.
And tell us if you're sick!
I promise, police officers.
[Jackie coughs]
You didn't tell us
you were sick.
I'm not. I'm not sick.
We heard you inside,
saying you were sick.
And the coughing.
No I just said that so the
police would leave here.
So are you lying to us?
Or are you lying to him?
Im lying to them.
Im not lying to you guys.
Yeah right.
I bet your parents are fine
in a house in the hills.
That's so not true.
You guys are so wrong.
I don't even think
you have a daughter
and a husband in China.
I absolutely have a husband
and a daughter.
She dont.
You don't know
what you're talking about.
Okay, you know. This is stupid.
Here, theres COVID
on the metal surface.
You know that, right?
God, just take it back, alright.
We don't want to deal with it.
We don't want to
deal with anything.
You know what? Fuck you!
You're like the boy
who cried wolf.
Dont turn the stories I
read to you against me.
She's crazy.
She's freaking nuts.
Lets go back!
[dramatic music]
Come on!
[Jackie hits wall noise]
Fuck you!
[Hitting wall noise]
How does that feel?
How does that fucking feel?
[Hitting wall noise]
[Jackie screams]
[Jackie squeals]
What the fuck is going on there?
[Jackie hits wall noise]
You need professional help!
You dont hear me.
I don't even hear myself.
So fuck you.
[Jackie squeals]
I even hurt myself.
Fuck you.
Theres COVID on
the metal surface. [Memory]
On the metal surface. [Memory]
[dramatic music]
[dramatic music]
Help!
I need help!
Help!
Please!
Someone help me!
Help!
Help!
Help!
What the fuck is
going on in there?
I need your help.
No, you need professional help.
With all this crazy ass
-I am a professional.
noise youre making!
No!
If you keep
screaming like this,
I'm going to call the police.
Then call them!
Why? What are you hiding?
What's going on in there?
I need your help!
Oh, why?
I give you these keys.
-Go to my office.
What are you talking about?
If I do this for you.
Will you shut the hell up?
Yes, I promise.
Because you've been
scaring my daughter.
Im not scared!
Harper!
Look, step back!
I don't want to
scare anyone.
Give me the keys, then.
You can do it.
Give me the keys.
Its sanitized.
She's not sick. It's fine.
I'm not.
It's okay.
You can do it.
Give me the keys.
[Harper sneezes]
She's not sick!
I can't do it!
I can't do it.
Oh my God.
She's not sick.
Shes sick. Shes sick!
She is not. She has allergies.
She's sick.
She's got.
-I just saw her sneeze.
Look, you know what, Harper?
I want you to stay
away from this woman
and stay away
from her apartment.
[dramatic music]
Where are you guys?
Where are you?
Why I can I not find you?
I feel so alone.
I dont understand
whats going on.
Ive missed you.
Ive missed you so much.
[phone ringing]
Hello?
Hello, is this Mrs. Russo?
No.
No?
Doctor Russo.
Dr. Russo,
I'm officer Eric Scott
Douglas from the
Department of State.
Did you find my family?
I am the officer who was
assigned to your case.
You found my
husband, my daughter?
No.
What do you mean, no?
Your husband and daughter
were never in China.
That's impossible.
No, no, no,
they definitely are in China.
Ma'am,
I looked for airline tickets
for Nolan and Elizabeth Russo.
I looked for credit card
activity from Nolan Russo.
I looked for phone activity
under Nolan Russo's name.
I found nothing, and that's
what made me suspicious.
What do you mean, suspicious?
That makes no sense.
Of the fact there
is no phone number
registered to Nolan Russo.
At least not
your Nolan Russo.
What do you mean,
not my Nolan Russo?
Could you tell me why
you don't have a
phone line for your husband?
I'm sorry, sir, but I don't
know why you're giving me such
a hard time right now.
When I'm the one
that's losing my family.
I can't find them.
How would you feel?
Do you have a wife?
Do you have kids?
Ma'am.
How would you feel
if you can't find your family?
And you're calling me
and telling me this?
That they don't even exist?
I understand, there
was something I found on them,
Doctor Russo.
Well, then what did you find?
I found exactly why
you don't have a phone line
for your husband.
I'm sorry, I, I, I.
I don't understand.
Ma'am, you know what I'm saying.
No I don't.
I found your husband
and daughter's
death certificates.
What?
You must be calling
the wrong person.
I think you have
the wrong number for sure.
I found your husband and
daughter's death certificates.
That's impossible.
They're there. They're in China.
I know they are.
I have videos.
Hello?
Maam, it is a federal crime
to waste State Department's
time with false claims.
False claims?
[Jackie coughs]
Youre telling me
that you can't find my husband,
my daughter?
That they're dead?
And false claims?
Dr. Russo, I suggest
you don't call the
State Department
again, understand?
No, I don't!
I don't under fucking stand!
Hello?
Are you still there?
Oh, okay.
Oh, no. Oh.
Okay.
Okay.
I have videos.
I have videos.
I have videos.
Come on. Where are you?
Where, where are you?
No, no, no, no, no.
Theyre not there.
Stop it!
Stop it!
Stop talking to me like that.
You know, I have videos,
you stop it.
I don't even think you
have a daughter and
a husband in China. [memory]
Stop it!
I have videos.
Don't you run away from me.
Go to your room!
Go to your room right now!
You need to get punished!
Go to your room.
Mommy!
You're being a bad girl.
[police siren sounds]
Denial.
It's just denial.
No.
I don't. I don't want.
You seen this before,
Doctor Russo.
No.
Think, a psychotic break
from reality.
Delusional disorder.
Obsessive compulsive disorder
can lead there when there
are more stressors than
the brain can accept.
You are not here.
Confabulation.
Convenient lies
the mind tells itself.
No.
No. No.
Youve seen this before,
Doctor Russo!
[dramatic music]
Hypocrite!
Hypocrite! [echoing]
What did you say to me?
Hypocrite!
Hypocrite! [echoing]
I'm a hypocrite?
I'm a hypocrite?
Im not a hypocrite,
I can't even find you!
Where are you?
I would do anything
in the fucking
world to have you next to me.
Im so sorry.
You look like a proper lady.
Yeah.
Beautiful.
All right, you ready?
Let's take on this

Talking about the math fair. Um.
Mommy's sorry, but she's not
not going to be able to make it
because she has to do
a really good thing,
and she has to help
another client out this time.
I can quiz while I drive.
Yeah. Daddy can do it.
Yeah. I'm a multitasker.
Yeah.
Im a multitasker.
Right?
You're going to be great.
And you know what
Mommys just going to try to do?
She's going to try
to make it there
for your opening
of your presentation.
She's coming.
You're never here for me.
Why are you never here?
Well, I am here for you.
And I love you.
And I'm always here for you.
But I don't want you sad.
Leave me happy.
Come on. Smile at Mommy.
One day.
You know how very lucky
you are to have a Mommy
that dedicates herself
to going out there
and helping other people.
No, you wont.
That's one of the qualities
that made me fall
in love with her.
See? You're the best daddy
in the whole world.
And Mommy loves you so much
and has the best baby. Ever.
I love you so much.
Yeah.
I love you so much.
Look at Mommy.
You can go now and
and help your patients.
Okay.
[Jackie blows kisses off screen]

Bye.
No,
because I'm never
gonna see you again.
Chow my loves.
Are you ready?
If you're gonna
save your patient
while I'm here,
you better do it when I'm not.
I don't hear you.
You're not here.
You are not here.
I have to go.
I have to go and fix my patient
because you're not here.
