Champagne!
[indistinct chatter]
‐ Can you spin it?
There we go. Fruit in the front.
Gorgeous.
Stewy tells me that you
have a new project.
‐ Oh, don't you start, too.
I like helping people.
‐ You're a tourist.
You holiday in the wreckage
of other people's lives.
‐ And encourage them to grow.
‐ Mm.
‐ Like saplings.
‐ Mm‐hmm.
Which one is she?
‐ Over there by the drinks.
She was waiting tables
at this fish place that Stewy likes
that I think is gross,
but I let him drag me.
But there's a story there,
because her name tag says Jennifer,
but I overheard the restaurant manager
call her Toni.
Hi. Hi.
JENNIFER:
Hi.
Hey.
‐ Hi. Jennifer, right?
JENNIFER: Yeah.

and look at her now.
You got the house and the cars
and the husband
That's all.
‐ Mm, okay.
‐ Oh, stop. I'm just saying,
you've come a long way.
That's all. You're an inspiration.
Tell her.
Tell her.
‐ Okay.
Um, I left home when I was 15.
My father was a drunk
who put my mother through
a sliding glass door.
So, that's pretty much the story.
Y'all have to excuse me.
I gotta go check on Marta.
Make sure she's not drowning
in hors d'ouevres. Enjoy.

[dishes clattering]

Still haven't burned

GIRL:
diagnosed with Eisenmenger syndrome.
My parents took me to
the Ochsner Center,
where we met Dr. Keller
and his incredible team.
I was able to receive a new heart,
and a new lease on life.
Now, I'm a normal high schooler,
and I even play varsity basketball.
[laughs]
CROWD: Wow!
GIRL:
Joe
Thank you for all that you do
for children like me.
And congratulations on receiving
the Kayhart Award for medical research.

I'm sorry, do I know you, Frank?
I, I, I can't seem to remember
where we met.
‐ We, we've never met before.
But my sister told me
about the award you won.
I, uh, didn't know there'd be a party.
JOE: [chuckles]
I didn't know there'd be a party.
‐ Do you remember my sister?
Julie White?
She remembers you.
‐ Um, I'm sorry. I, I can't place her.
FRANK: Oh.
‐ Excuse me. Um, this is a private event
to celebrate my husband.
So, if you aren't on the guest list
Think it might be time for him to leave.
FRANK: Uh
ANNIE:
Yeah.
‐ Oh. Sorry. Oh.
‐ That is why you do not do drugs.
PROFESSOR: Hey, is, uh, this thing on?
[chuckles]
Uh, Joe, you are good guy,
but you better stay
the hell away from my sister.

Can we start the music, please?
‐ Thank you, Marta.
You should see the other guy.
I'm fine.

see that for themselves.
[footsteps departing]
‐ Thanks for a great evening.
Thank you.
‐ Get this one home.
‐ Thank you. Congratulations.
‐ Yeah.
‐ You, too. You drive safe, okay?

‐ Oh. Okay, you come by
for breakfast, okay?
We'll get a run in before the flight.
‐ Yeah, will do. Bye.
JOE:
Mm.
‐ Mm. Bye‐bye.
ANNIE: I've steeled myself,
so you don't need to talk around it.
So, Julie White.
‐ Um, she was a resident.
‐ At Ochsner?
‐ Yeah. So, 13, uh, 14 years ago, um
[Annie groans]
‐ I always thought that
we had a partnership.
Different than other marriages.
Maybe it was too unspoken‐‐
‐ We did. We, we do.
But
She thought we were in love.
And, uh, I
don't know what I thought.
‐ You thought something.
‐ Yes. Uh
But by the time I had self‐corrected,
the board got wind, and everyone
just wanted a clean break.
Me and her.
‐ They fired her.
‐ It was a strategic restructuring.
I'm not proud.
‐ No. Why should you be?
You know, men everywhere,
good men, not all of them, but some,
are going down for less than this.
And I could have shielded the blow.
‐ Oh. What?
I thought you'd be‐‐
You aren't upset?
‐ Yeah, of course I'm a bit shocked‐‐
‐ You do understand,
it was, I mean, it was an affair‐‐
‐ You don't have to say the word.
[sighs]
You should have told me at the time.
Not a decade late.
After everything that I've invested‐‐
‐ Well, it's easy to say‐‐
‐ Are you gonna fight me, Joe?
‐ No. But we were still
in the making.
And on top of all the stuff with George,
that would have wrecked us.
‐ What stuff with George?
‐ Uh, his nightmares.
And not sleeping.
Crying about monsters
that go bump in the night.
He didn't sleep for months.
He thought the whole place was haunted.
You, you were next to losing your mind.
‐ Right.
[sighs]
I'm gonna be dead for the flight.
‐ Hmm?
‐ Have you packed?
‐ Uh, no. Not yet.
‐ Well, you'd better get to it.
Gotta look sharp when
they hand you that award.
‐ That's it?
‐ I don't know. Is it?
‐ For me, yes.
‐ Yeah. You did the best
that you could at the time.
So
Just leave it.
It was a good party.
‐ [chuckles]
Yeah.
‐ Good night.
‐ Yeah. Good night.

Last night, a woman named Julie White
uploaded a video onto her Twitter account.
‐ Okay.
‐ The contents of the video
were sensitive in nature.
‐ Oh, it's okay.
Uh, we spoke about this last night.
‐ Yes. Joe had a time
with another doctor.
She made a video?
‐ Julie White is 19.
She's studying drama at NYU.
‐ Um, I think I'm a little confused.
‐ Since the video went live last night,
several other women have come forward.
And I've been told
even more are in the wind.
‐ So, I'm lost.
There are two Julie Whites?
KATE: In the world, possibly.
This one was Joe's patient.
‐ Hmm.
KATE: I pulled the chart at
the hospital this morning.
Most of the other accusations
are outside the statute of limitations.
Except one.
She's eleven.
‐ Eleven what?
‐ Years.
JOE:
Well, that's because of the award.
KATE: Yes. Unfortunately,
the Kayhart Foundation
called this morning.
The award's been revoked.
‐ Without proof?
‐ Annie, please.
‐ No, I'm sorry.
Kate, I, I‐‐
KATE: It's a lot. It's okay, it's a lot.
‐ [huffs]
You'll have to forgive me,
but I am a wife and mother of a son.
Why are they doing this? Money?
‐ They may seek restitution. Yes.
‐ Will he lose his license?
He's saved lives.
And I know that
this is not popular to say,
but how is a man
supposed to move through life
with accusations at the drop of a hat?
‐ The problem is
the accusations are usually spot‐on.
‐ [scoffs]
‐ Except here, of course.
And we can fight it.
‐ Joe?
‐ When you said to me last night
that we were partners,
did you mean that?
‐ Yes. Of course.
‐ [sobs] Oh.
‐ Oh, baby, come here.
I know it's not true. I believe you.
It's okay. We're gonna fight this.

NEWSCASTER:
Pediatric surgeon
and LSU med school
professor Joe Keller
has been accused of sexually assaulting
his former child patient, Julie White.
[phone ringing]
Since the release Miss White's video
on social media,
more than 40 other female patients
have come forward,
making this one of the biggest cases
of sexual abuse
in medical history.
[reporters clamoring]
JULIE WHITE: I was eight years old
when Dr. Keller sexually assaulted me.
[phone ringing]
He was a trusted doctor
who saved my life,
only to destroy it again.
He took advantage of my trust.
He manipulated me and my loved ones.
[phone continues ringing]
Everything‐‐ my relationship
with my parents,
my friends,
has been affected by this event.
It has destroyed my family
NEWSCASTER: Neither Dr. Keller
nor his personal attorney
have responded for comment.
ANNIE:
Oh, thank God. Nancy.
I'm losing my mind.
NANCY [on phone]: Are you okay?
ANNIE: Did you have any sense
that something like this was going on?
NANCY: Uh, no‐‐
ANNIE: Because when we met him,
Joe was so good to us.
He really pulled us out
of a bad situation,
you know, money‐wise,
and I just keep thinking,
do you remember the festival
in the French Quarter
just right after we got married?
Do you remember what you said to me?
NANCY: Uh
ANNIE: You said that I was different.
NANCY: Annie, I‐‐
‐ What, because I was shy,
or because I‐‐
I grew up poor
NANCY: Annie
ANNIE:
Or because I was too naive
to see what was really going on with him?
I mean, how did I miss this?
GEORGE [on voicemail]:
Hey, it's George. Leave a message,
and I'll get back to you
as soon as possible.

when you were a child?
[object clinking on floor]
‐ Mom?
‐ Um, someone was here last night.
‐ Who was?
‐ Broke the window.
‐ Yeah, well
Joe made the Catholic Diocese
look like holy fathers of the year.
People are pissed.
‐ No, it wasn't people.
It wasn't a person.
It, um
You remember the monster?
When you were a kid,
you couldn't sleep.
You, you had nightmares.
Always scared of the monster.
‐ Yeah. Yes.
‐ I took you to that woman‐‐
‐ You mean the shrink?
Yeah, I remember.
‐ And?
‐ And
Kid stuff.
‐ No. We
We block things out
as we get older, because it's easier.
And the facts
Maybe you forgot what was real.
‐ Are you
Are you asking if
I didn't forget anything.
Your message said that
you'd done something terrible.
‐ My head is all turned around.
I just
I am very sorry, George.
You cannot know how very‐‐ v‐‐
‐ Sorry for what?
‐ [Annie sniffles]
You were a child,
and I did not believe you.
I could not, um

was too big.
The weight of it.
You understand?
It is real.
‐ It?
‐ The monster.
‐ Are you ?
Have you taken something?
‐ What?
‐ Drugs, or, or, or did you drink?
‐ No. No! You, you know‐‐
‐ Because I know all of this is hard.
‐ I would never‐‐

but you listen to me, okay?

‐ Just sit, so we can‐‐
‐ It was here.
It broke this one and the one upstairs.
‐ Sit down, so we can‐‐
‐ And the shed, and the lock.
And, uh, the teeth. It was like‐‐
‐ S‐‐ Sit down!
Just give me a minute.
‐ What are you‐‐
‐ Just‐‐
I want to talk about what happened.
At the parade.
In the French Quarter.
Right after we, we had‐‐
just moved in with Joe.
‐ Okay. [inhales]
‐ Did you want to say something?
‐ I don't know what to say.
It was such a long time ago.
‐ Jesus.
Mom, are you gonna make me do it?
You're the parent, you know.
‐ Do what?
George
‐ At the parade.
‐ [Annie scoffs]
‐ Those girls. The ones that Joe
That's me, too.
Do you understand me?
Joe hurt me.
At the parade, and I‐‐
I think we need to talk about it.
‐ You hurt your wrist?
‐ Yes. That was part of the,
uh, getting away.
‐ [inhales, exhales sharply]
What about the monster?
‐ What?
‐ At the parade. You said
that it was chasing you.
It had black eyes. It wanted to eat you‐‐
‐ No, Mom, I need you to stop avoiding‐‐
It was a lie.
‐ You were pale.
In shock‐‐
‐ You wouldn't believe the truth.
The monster wasn't real.
The monster was Joe.
Do you want me to walk you through it?
We went to the parade‐‐
‐ [screams] No!
No!
‐ Mom.
‐ Enough!
[stomping]
Aah!
‐ [glass breaks]
[running footsteps approaching]
GEORGE:
We need to talk.
‐ Stop. Please wait.
I can't. I can't.
‐ No. No more waiting. It's now.
We went to the parade,
and I, I wanted dessert. Ice cream,
or I don't remember what. But we left.
Me and Joe.
And, and we stopped at the bathroom,
and then he took me into a stall.
‐ Honey
Honey!
‐ And that's when‐‐ No, listen to me!
‐ That never happened!
‐ I found you in the crowd,
and I told you.
[fireworks pop]
How can you act like
that didn't happen?
I spent so long trying,
trying to understand why.
‐ I love you.
‐ Trying, trying to make sense
‐ I love you, but we had nothing.
I was minimum wage,
flipping couch cushions,
searching for change.
And now there is nothing that you need
that you don't have.
Money, and, and, and UCLA.
‐ I'm failing.
I'm flunking every class.
Academic probation.
That's what I'm telling you.
This hurdle I can't get over.
I
I need you to say that you knew.
‐ But I didn't.
I don't remember.
‐ Aren't, aren't you ashamed,
or guilty, or ?
I mean, all those girls.
That's why, that's why he married you,
you know.
A low‐class hotel maid
he met on a work trip?
A desperate single mom
looking for a handout,
and he knew you would
keep your mouth shut.
He paid you off, with this big house,
and clothes, and, "Keep quiet, George."
‐ [laughs]
‐ "We don't mention this
to anyone, George."
‐ I don't remember!
‐ You do, because I am still him.
Scared, and huddled in the basement,
just hiding, and, and, and praying
his stepdad doesn't show up
in the middle of the night.
I mean, can't you see, Mom?
