Ep 2: Old Wounds


Flashback 3 months earlier:
Dorchester penitentiary, hospital wing. A badly beaten Slaney awakens to find Pattinson sitting beside his bed. The detective has a plan to get Hearn & wants to make a deal with Slaney.

Slaney crawls from the wrecked car. Patterson was thrown clear but is in some distress.
Slaney helps him but then walks away saying "deals off''

Williams has been checking up on Patterson & their convo gives us further insight into his background. She agrees to help him.

Hearn is on phone with Lefevre, (Saul Rubinek) an old investor from Montreal. He's looking for more money from Lefevre & a new passport for Slaney.

Slaney checks into a hotel.

With a towel wrapped around his waist, Carter steps out of the bathroom in time to catch Ada snooping through his wallet. T
hey briefly mention his old job, as a dentist, & the family he left behind, tho Cyril insists they are "well taken care of"

Carter shows a softer, more vulnerable, side as he admits his ongoing infatuation with Ada. One thing leads to another..... then Hearn walks in!
He's completely unapologetic for the interruption & just starts talking about the upcoming deal. He also asks Carter to perform some dentistry work.

The sound of sirens wake Slaney, who was dreaming of Jennifer. Police are converging on his hotel.

Split screen : Patterson & Williams searching / Slaney running.

Slaney finds himself in a brides room & ends up helping to fix her dress. Though she realises who he is, she delays opening her door to the cops, giving Slaney a chance to run.

(Admin note: This is one of my favourite snippets in the book, I'm so glad they kept it in)


Williams & Patterson discover something about Slaney & Jennifer that sets them on the road to Montreal.

Slaney arrives in Montreal. He calls Hearn, who fills him in on the next step of the plan & updates him on Jennifers  current situation. Though clearly against Hearns advice/ wishes, its obvious Slaney intends to visit her.

Flashback 1971
Hearn & Slaney run into Jennifer ( whom they havent seen since school days) down by the bay.  She's with her baby & buying icecream. Its a lovely scene between Slaney & Jennifer in which he admits he's had a crush on her for a long time.


Slaney watches Jennifer from afar, as Williams & Patterson also look on!

Just as Ada starts to question Hearn, Carter walks in. He kisses her, takes another hit of coke & then moves to extract Hearns tooth.There's a little more blood than he expected & asking Ada to help out, he leaves to get more gauze. Ada uses this situation to try to get more info from Hearn but he's not falling for her flirtatious ways! 

More of Agent Williams' background is revealed as she & Patterson continue their stakeout & tail Slaney to a warehouse.  Williams spies on the exchange between Slaney & Lefevre. Slaney gets his fake passport, but not the cash. That's to be picked up later, at a cemetery. He grabs a new doll, from its box, on his way out. 

Williams poses as an encyclopedia salesperson in order to gain entrance to Jennifers house and plant a listening device.

Shortly after, Slaney knocks on her door. A tearful Slaney chats to Crystal & gives her the doll. She runs off to play with it. Emotions are running high between he and Jennifer


**SPOILER WARNING**


A beautiful, & ultimately heartbreaking, scene unfolds.


 

*SPOILER AHEAD**

 Slaney & Jennifer passionately reconnect, but then she reveals a big secret.


Years ago, she was raped by Hearn!  

The conversation that follows is filled with emotions. The anger, the blame, the hurt. What ifs, maybes, & regrets. Their love for each other shines through, but is it enough?



Slaney goes to meet Lefevre at the cemetery to pick up the money.  Williams & Patterson look on.

Suddenly another car screeches into the area. A man with a gun exits the vehicle, followed by a 2nd man. Slaney is clearly panicked as they start to walk towards him ......
