Hemlock Grove

I'm glad you decided to come, Maggie Sue.

The road's a lonely place

and the wife isn't much of a traveler.

The wife isn't a lot of things.

Oh, it's nothing to be afraid of.

It's just a part of plain ol' everyday lovemaking.

I remember when the president said it wasn't even sex, really,

more like a form of greeting, a show of affection between friends.

Son of a bitch! Fuck!

Oh, fuck, oh, fuck, oh, fuck, oh, fuck.

Shit. Shit!

It's okay. Don't try and move.

I'm going to call for help.

Our Father who does art in heaven...

deliver me from evil, with liberty and justice for all.

The idea is that like attracts like.

That's why it's called the law of attraction.

Just focus on positive things and you'll end up with positive results.

Focus on the negative and you'll end up with more of the same...

my recent illness, for instance, or this shithole I'm living in.

Direct manifestation of negative thought.

Thankfully, I've put that awful disease behind me.

Soon, this dreary dump will be a thing of the past.

But I am grateful for all of it.

Wake-up calls, really. To get me to change my doom and gloom outlook

and step into the light of my own joyous prosperity.

That's the promise I made myself.

You of all people know I live up to the promises I make.

I want to thank you, Michael.

Without your encouragement, Norman might never have shown his true colors.

A whining, pathetic man... angry, empty...

Still, I drew his negativity to me, I suppose.

Law of attraction. You see how it works, Michael?

You willed bad things for me, but you only brought on bad things for yourself.

Just like that little sister of yours.

I have a houseguest coming, so it's time for you to go now.

Bon voyage, as they say.

Must've hurt like a motherfucker.

For a second I thought you really were dead.

You have to commit if you want to sell it.

You've got some giant balls, taking a hit like that.

The Rumanceks are world renowned for their testicular girth.

A thousand thank-yous for what you did.

Yeah, well, you saved my life.

Anyways, it was great being out with you guys... full moon.

It felt good.

- As well it should. - All right. Cheers, boys.

These are your people, you're one of us.

Seeing as how this worked out so well, I've got something else

- in the pipeline that... - No. I can't.

Miranda and Nadia are still out there.

Understood. I don't mean to push. I totally get it.

You're sure that no cops are going to come looking for this truck?

Not in a million years.

That is the beauty of thieving from thieves.

Fifty crates... at 200 pounds per...

flip it cheap to move it fast.

So, conservatively,

we're looking at right around one point two million and change.

Whoo!

You fellas did good.

He was the brains behind the whole thing.

But you, Peter, were a rock star.

I'll store it here while you work a deal.

You're reaching out to our regular buyers?

We've got it handled.

Did you see her?

Briefly.

I try to talk to her as often as I can, but...

she moves around so much.

Sometimes I think things are harder for her over there

in the old country than she lets on.

- How did she look? - Peter, listen to me.

Your mother is well.

She misses you, but she's surrounded by family,

people who love her, too.

She told me to give you this. Said you were expecting it.

Mm.

This belonged to my grandmother.

Thank you. I know you went to a lot of trouble.

Trouble is what our people live for.

You-you okay, bro?

Yeah.

Lynda approves... and so do I.

Now you have permission to ask my cousin to marry you.

Okay.

I will make her a queen.

You better treat her right or I'll fucking kill you.

Welcome to the family.

Ah.

I'm getting...

absolutely nothing.

All we can do is keep trying.

I had a case out in L.A. once,

wife went missing, suspected homicide,

and the family brought in a clairvoyant.

Never did find the woman, but, man, I tell you that psychic...

mad skills locating the client's wallet.

Mm-hmm.

I have a special gift for divining assholes.

Far be it from me to cast aspersions,

but when you're trafficking in the realm of the unseen,

there are those who might want to take advantage...

grifters and so forth...

present company excepted, of course.

- I gotta go. - All right. Thanks, Dee.

Mm-hmm.

Okay, smart guy. What do you got?

Transcripts of my interviews with every patient in Spivak's practice.

Unremarkable for anything out of the ordinary.

Traveled the world a little bit doing some pro bono medical stuff.

Was not banging his nurse. A better man than I am, real dime piece.

What else?

Spivak got his medical degree at Leipzig University in Germany,

studied immunology at the University of Maine...

- He's German? - Beats me.

I traced him as far back as med school, dead ends there.

What about Miranda's family?

Father is deceased.

Tracked down the mother in Provo, Utah.

Hadn't spoken to her daughter in ten years.

Contacted every morgue and hospital up and down the East Coast.

No Jane Does matching the description. Same with the baby.

So basically, you show up here empty-handed expecting to get paid.

I put in the hours, I get paid. That's how it works.

Sounds like a grift to me.

Hmm.

You care so much about these folks.

Gotta ask, why me? Why not go to the police?

Police get involved, things get public.

And you're looking to be discreet. I understand.

But this baby you got me searching for, there's no birth certificate.

Technically speaking, it hasn't been born.

People hire me to find shit out, mostly where's the money,

who's fucking who, so forth.

What is it that you're not telling me about this kid? This girl?

I gotta know, otherwise, I can't do my job.

This is all the information you need.

Keep digging on Spivak. I expect results.

Dr. Pryce...

- there's an anomaly. - Anomaly, tells me nothing,

but it would be an anomaly, I suppose,

if you actually communicated meaningful information.

The specimen is experiencing an excessive amount of chromosomal deletion,

- which is causing it to... - I know what it causes.

Did you try the...

Blinsky, you know what I asked you to do... the amniotic...

- the-the thing... you know. - It had no effect.

- Did you get any sleep last night? - That's no concern of yours.

- How did this happen? - I suspended the safety protocols,

as you asked, but the amount of growth hormone required...

Creeping mother of Jesus! What are you trying to say?

We should dispose of the specimen and start over.

Give up, in other words.

I promoted you because I thought you were a problem solver, and it turns out

- you're just a gutless quitter. - Dr. Pryce...

- What?! - Your meeting started 20 minutes ago.

My meeting? What meeting?

The one I reminded you about an hour ago.

Right. Fix it.

We need to make this jury understand

that there is absolutely no correlation

between our product and the deaths caused by liver failure their lawsuit alleges.

Apologies. Urgent matter. Continue.

To do that we need to take a long, hard look

at who these so-called victims actually are.

- You look like shit. - We need to shine a light...

You've inherited your mother's charm.

Fuck you. What have you found out?

We're in the process.

I assume that's code for nothing.

- You promised me you'd have answers. - And I will.

It just takes a little patience.

Gentlemen...

if there's anything that you don't understand,

perhaps you've missed, I can help you through...

Spare me the hand job, Ghanz.

This poor people's march will save the company 100 mil,

well and good... But I...

I...

That is to say, I...

Get out.

I said get out. Go.

Leave us alone.

You really need to dial back on the caffeine there, buddy boy.

I'm nearly done mapping the genome from the skin sample

we found in Spivak's office.

How long does it take? It's been six weeks.

- I thought you were a fucking genius. - I am a fucking genius.

It took 13 years to map the human genome, and I'm getting close...

I want my kid back.

- Roman, I'm trying to help you. - I know.

I'm almost out of nutrient.

There'll be a new batch ready this afternoon.

I have to get your sister ready.

I swear if this fucking hearing goes sideways, I'm going to...

We have to let this play out.

I hate lorazepam.

Makes me feel like my brain's made out of chewing gum.

It will help you relax.
