Hi.

My name is Merritt Tryon.

I'm 27 years old...

[sighs]

...and when you're as big as me,
not much fits,

but I think I am
the perfect fit for your show.

-[Lois] No, do not do it...
-Mom.

...like that.

No.

-No, no, no. You sound a mess.
-Mom, please.

[phone chimes]

You-you-you sound stiff,
like a robot.

[in monotone]
"My name is Merritt.

This is my story."

And why you got this filthy
hospital curtain up here?

Okay, it's my backdrop.

Let's record again.

Do not interrupt me.

Okay, Ms. Diahann Carroll.

-I won't say nothing.
-[phone chimes]

[whispering]
Take two.

[sighs]

Ever since I was a little girl,

I've had a problem with food.

I mean, or...

at least, what I thought
was a problem.

[fading]
It was what I ran to

when I felt scared or sad...

or trapped.

But I'm starting
to realize that maybe

that food wasn't
the only problem.

It was that anxiety
and depression--

Christ on a cracker.

All right, you're done.

Thank you. No, thank you.

Merritt, why do you
have to debase yourself? Why?

-They want a story.
-Tell them how smart you are.

Tell them you graduated at 16.

Tell them you got
a perfect score on the SAT.

Want to know why?
That is a story.

They don't want
to hear that, okay?

They-they want to hear about
adversity and hardship.

Okay, I have seen a lot of
victims in my life, Merritt,

and believe me when I tell you,
baby, you are not one of them.

Mmm. Well,

you can go. Thank you.

-[scoffs]
-Please, go.

-I will.
-Mm-hmm.

Let the goddamn light in

and let everybody see

how wretched
and horrible your life is.

Mm-hmm.

All right, go.

You're still here...
so that's funny.

Okay, baby girl, I'm-a go.

But Mama is literally
cooking you up something

-you gonna love.
-Mmm.

Mm-mm-mmm.

Oh, so, wait.
Let me get this straight.

You're making me a turducken.

You bet.

-[laughs]
-Mm-hmm.

-Wow.
-We have the makings of

a fresh full-fat turkey

with a layer of
andouille sausage stuffing,

then, a very good Muscovy duck,

carefully deboned
and gently placed

within the turkey's cavity.

And then last,
but certainly not least,

an organic free-range
motherfucking chicken

within that,

all layered with this
andouille sausage stuffing,

if you dare.

Oh, I dare.

How did you learn how to
make a turducken,

and why did you wait so long?

Listen, I told you,

I would help you
actualize your dreams

of worldwide fame.

This dish has over

12,000 calories,

so if you eat that over
four days, that's, like...

It's like 3,000 a day.

Ding, ding, ding.

But I intend to eat this in one,

possibly two days. [laughs]

[Merritt rubbing hands together]

Here's the deal.

You don't give me shit
about what I like to drink.

Understand me?

Vodka, martinis, any of it.

In exchange, I'll help you

get where you want to be,
weight-wise.

Take it or leave it.

It's a deal.

Can I watch you make it?

Can you fill 'er up first?

I don't want to get raw poultry
on the vodka bottle.

This is where it gets delicate.

You need steady hands,

We got to make it
look like a turkey again,

not flattened roadkill.

So, we...

...sew up the back.

Then we truss the fowl,

like roping a calf.

And finally, a simple

shoelace knot,

and voilà,

one engastrated turkey.

Wow.

Wait. I'm sorry,
you said, "castrated"?

Engastrated.

It means the remains
of one animal

are stuffed inside
of another animal.

How do you even know that?

Lately, I can't sleep at night,

so I read cookbooks, girl.

Huh.

That's interesting.

Well, how long
is this thing gonna take,

because I think
I will need a snack.

Will you now?

About three hours.

But if that's too hard for you,

I can make you
an omelet or something.

Ooh, yeah. What kind?

I think we got some morels left.

A little mascarpone,
a little Jack.

Pour Mama another drink,
could you?

["Dedicated to You"
by John Coltrane playing]

[Merritt]
Mmm. Mmm.

Mmm. This is the greatest thing

ever invented,

and the kindest thing
you've ever done for me.

You know, I was gonna make

cherries jubilee for desert,

but I can't.

Oh, that's okay.

I'm gonna have some more
of that turducken for dessert.

[chuckles]

Okay.

Mmm.

So, what's this all about?

I mean...

...uh, you used to put out
a frozen lasagna,

-if anything.
-Okay, relax.

Now, my domestic skills,
I admit,

were slow to develop.

I do miss
your father's cooking, though.

All those layered flavors.

See? I knew you missed him.

I know you miss him.
You have to.

Okay, I miss
certain things about him

that made me stay
as long as I did.

I mean, those are things
from long, long ago.

That's nostalgia, baby.

Well, tell me the story

-of how you and Daddy met.
-Oh, my God.

Why do you want
to hear that story again?

Because I want to hear it again.

I've told you this
a thousand times before.

Make it a thousand and one.

-Okay, okay.
-Thank you.

I was working in Riverside
near the university.

Taking classes during the day,
working at night.

Ooh, I loved being there.

I could've done this
for a living.

[indistinct chatter]

And Marshall
comes in with his students,

like, every Friday night,

which I start
really looking forward to.

...into the real.
That's when the truth--

I got you some extra dumplings.

You're a goddess, Lois.
You're a goddess.

And was Lacan right
in his notion

that we are the words we speak?

Lois, are we not
the words we speak?

You're a wise woman.

I don't know about that,
but I do think

you get the face you earn

and the ass you work for

Who had the extra chili paste?

You? Oh, you want one, too?

Your kindness is noted.

[Lois]
I love his table.

His students love him.

They light up the place,

Mmm. Now, where were we?

Cheers, Ms. Lois.

To the end of the day
and the end of the night.

[Lois] And he would stay after
so we could talk.

We loved it.

Maybe we were
the words we speak.

That's good.

Wait a minute,

I saw you on campus

You... you're a student there,
aren't you?

-I am, indeed.
-Hmm.

My daddy wants me
to be a lawyer,

and I'm straining
to be interested. Pre-law.

Why don't you just change
your major to something else?

Like philosophy?

[laughs]

I love philosophy.

I know you do.

-People need it.
-Mmm.

They don't realize it,

I am interested in the law,

just not interpreting it,

parsing it, using it.

I would much rather defend it.

-You bad, girl.
-Yes.

There is something about

And he was so right.

All I've ever wanted

was to live

Solve all the chaos.

I don't, I don't know

Truth is, I know

You be on guard to be careful

about what love can do.

It can turn a soft soul hard

It is sad.

But it's also survivable.

God. All of it.

[Lois sniffling]

[indistinct announcement
over P.A.]

[Redd]
I am not unsympathetic.

You, hunted

by this demonic killer.

It's hard.

But still...

there are things
that must be accomplished

and I'd like to offer one way.

What is this?

Give me power of attorney
over Marshall.

You just can't do it, can you?

Not like this.

Are you insane?

Have you lost your mind?

Why would I?

Because I care about him
more than you do.

And you know that to be true.

So just let him go, hmm?

Walk away.

Nobody will blame you.

Everyone will understand.

[whispers]
You're in an alcoholic's haze.

You should
check in to our rehab.

It's just here.

28 days.

Oh, yes, 28 days

with nothing else but drying out

on your poor addled mind.

Hmm?

-No?
-No.

He's my husband.

I'm not gonna abandon him.

But you already have.

Look, I have my ways.

I could get a court order.

I could get you
declared incompetent,

have you held,
you'd lose your job.

This case that you're on,

this case that is all
you seem to care about,

as if this killer
were an atomic bomb

waiting to be detonated.

He is.

I think you'll sign
this power of attorney.

Or else risk losing
so much more...

...than our dear Marshall.

[wind chimes tinkling]

-[birds singing]

[sighs]

[lighter flicks open]

Thank you, handsome.

What's your name?

Ed. Ed Laclan.

But you can call me Eddie.

Eddie.

Something tells me
when you're done

with your
little ciggy break here,

you're gonna want to get
the hell out of here.

And I don't blame you.

But should you be driving?

Probably not,

but I'm going to anyway.

-Of course you are.
-Of course I am.

-Windows down...
-Mm-hmm.

Hair blowing in the wind.

You know it.

A little Earth, Wind
& Fire on the radio?

[laughs]
Don't act like you know me.

I know a little something.

You want to go with me?

Only if I can drive.

[groans, chuckles]

Miss Sassy Pants.

Flirting with orderlies.

Whoa, whoa,
who is the one flirting?

You are lighting cigarettes
in the wind.

And smiling like a cartoon cat.

Mr. Eddie Lac...

-[Eddie] Laclan.
-Laclan.

Yes.

You are oddly beautiful.

Or beautifully odd.

I can't seem to figure it out,
but I sure want to.

Do you now?

Mm.

And does that line always work?

"Oddly beautiful
or beautifully odd"?

-Only when it's true.
-Talk your talk.

[chuckles] Miss...?

Lois. Lois Tryon.

[wind chimes tinkling]

It's like heaven, isn't it?

It sure is.

But we're not allowed
out there, Lois.

In that case,

I'm gonna leave, Fast Eddie.

[chuckles]

Listen, I really don't think
you should be driving right now.

I can tell your reflexes
are off a little bit.

I don't want you
to have any regrets.

Who doesn't have regrets, Ed?

Come on now.

Lois?

[coughing]

Lo?

Mm?

[Hanover]
Lo.

Oh, God...

[clinking]

Am I actually handcuffed?

You were arrested.

Blood alcohol 13.

Highway patrol found you
on Pearl Blossom.

Oh, God.

I'm trying to make it go away.

Why would you do that?

'Cause none of the other
assholes at the precinct

can solve this one.

-[knock at door]
-[door opens]

Hello, ma'am.

I have something for you that
looks like it's meatloaf.

Enjoy.

I have to go and try and explain
to highway patrol

why this should go away.

So, congratulations,
you've managed to do

what countless bribers
and politicos couldn't:

you turned me dirty.

[groans softly]

Damn it.

[Eddie] Ouch, that was rough.
How you doing?

Notice I didn't say
"I told you so"?

You just got here.

There's a keyring in my purse.
It has a cuff key on it.

Use it. I'm police.

I just figured that one out.
Yeah, thank you.

An you want me to be complicit
in a crime with you too now?

Tell me,

why should I help you?

I'm trying to catch a killer.

On the hunt, huh?
That old excuse.

Yeah.

Try something else, Sassy Pants.

Come on.

Fast Eddie.

-"Fast Eddie."
-Please?

-[chuckles]
-Help a sister out.

[sighs]

I am such a sucker
for you problem child types.

There's just
something about you.

-Powerless.
-[handcuffs clicking]

Totally powerless.

-Thank you.
-Mm-hmm.

Um...

Can you help me get out of here?

Help you get out of here?

If you make it quick.

Because any moment, some
asshole's gonna barge in here...

...with a lot of orders,
and a bunch of testosterone.

And that's just
the candy-striper.

Now, where are your clothes?

Over there.

-Hmm.
-Okay.

Need any help getting that on?

I do not.

I just, um, if you could...

turn around, I got it.

All right.

And don't peek.
