Mr. Mercedes

Previously on "Mr. Mercedes...

You know what I don't get?

Why don't you finish the fucking job?

Mercy was my mistake.

Get your hands off me.

Time is money, right?

And you've got a lot riding on Brady's recovery,

you and your Chinese pharmaceutical affiliates.

You need to wake Hartsfield up before this

all blows up in our faces and it all gets shut down.

Trip? Where are we taking a trip?

I didn't say "we." Why not?

I'm in.

Someone broke into my house, stole my gun,

and then killed my dog.

Hey, Ma, I found a new toy.

Results came back from the blood on Library Al's car.

It's canine. - Police!

Let's see 'em!

Don't move!

You motherfucker!

You killed my fucking dog!

I didn't do anything!

Olly, olly, oxen free.

Come on out, Brady.

That's what we used to say as kids playing hide-and-seek.

This fucking procedure better work.

Did I say that correctly?

Perfectly.

Good morning.

Morning.

I mentioned to him several times

that he needs to get a new table.

And new cabinets, but...

he never gets rid of anything, so...

You think it's nostalgia or neglect?

I don't know.

I chose this table.

Oh.

Well, you know, it's very nice.

It's just... It wobbles. I know.

Well, it's not the table.

It's the floor.

It's just a little warped.

Oh, I never noticed that.

Guests don't notice that sort of thing.

Right.

Morning.

I should go. So...

I'll see you at work, Bill.

Bye. See ya.

Bye.Bye-bye.

Bye.

Good morning.

It really is a work of art, so help me.

Damn straight. Here.

Coffee? Did you get breakfast?

Oh, no, I'm running out of time.

But don't let me stop you.

Ugh, I'm not that hungry.

Yeah, that's what comes with obsessing

about Brady Hartsfield.

Brady who?

Well, better not carry that with you to Ireland,

not if I'm going with you.

You'll go? Will you?

Of course.

Body and soul?

Only way I roll these days.

"Only way I roll these days."

Don't say too "roll"!

That's too hip.

That's not who you are.

Yeah? Who's me?

Who is me? Who is me?

Old-school.

Make sure you get plane tickets. I'm not taking a boat.

You mean like a jet?

No, don't say "jet."

Jets not good either. Jet liner?

No, worse!

Hey. Well, I guess, uh...

I guess I'll dig up my passport then.

Okay.

See if I can find a travel agency.

Travel agency? Oh, my God.

Do they still have those?

I don't know.

Well, don't ever change.

Hey! Ida, good morning.

Hi there, Donna. Nice to see you.

You, too. You, too. I bet.

Bye.

See you later. See you later.

You good? Yep.

She's looking great.

Yeah.

Always has a good head on her shoulders.

Probably why she left me.

Have a good day. You, too.

Doctor.

As you can see, we're getting our strongest readings

yet on the EEG.

Electrode.

Okay.

I'm using a stimulating depth electrode to reconnect

the Wernicke's and Broca's region,

which should fully restore

the patient's capacity for speech.

Nurse Scapelli, I think we're ready.

As we establish the neurological connections,

we're gonna simultaneously introduce visual stimuli

to the patient, which should encourage him to speak.

This is why, of course, we've done an awake craniotomy.

He should be talking in no time.

Woman: Do you remember driving this truck, Brady?

Do you know what car this is?

Best German technology.

Do this have any significance to you?

Who's this woman, Brady?

Now the patient's reacting very strongly to the visual stimuli.

That's a short, concrete sign off progress.

How can it be that the left temporal lobe

appears completely regenerated on the MRI?

The patient has shown indications

of consciousness during the fMRI,

and you claim to have repaired this "broken circuit,"

yet the patient is still nonverbal?

Clearly, you're missing something.

Sir, you... you can't expect the patient

to give full sentences when he's on the operating table.

I can expect him to communicate as you claim

he did yesterday, however.

We left meetings in New York for this?

The patient is gonna need speech therapy

as well as a host of other treatments

before he's fully verbal.

Would you try to communicate

if you were facing trial for murder?

I expected expertise.

Instead, I get excuses.

Can I have a moment alone with the patient, please?

Now.

Brady, I don't think you realize
