Cecilia Kass
[Emily comes to visit Cecilia at James's house]

This is not fair. I asked you not to come over. He knows where you live. He will follow you.

Emily Kass

Yes, well, I have some news.

Cecilia Kass

There is no news that justifies this. Okay I have a plan. And I just, I need you to go along with it, and just not being in control for one second.

Emily Kass

I'm not trying to control you, boo. I'm desperately trying to tell you that you don't need to cut me off anymore. Because he's dead.

Cecilia Kass

What? [after finding out Adrian died from an apparent suicide] It just doesn't make any sense. He was in complete control of everything, you know? Including me. He controlled how I looked, and what I wore, and what I ate. And then it was controlling when I left the house, and what I said. And eventually, what I thought. And if he didn't like what he assumed I was thinking, he would...

James Lanier

He'd what? He would hit you?

Cecilia Kass

Amongst other things. He wanted to have a baby. And I knew that if we did that, that I would never be able to get away from him. So I took birth control without him knowing it. But, um, that can only go on for so long, so I called you.

Emily Kass

Hey. You are here with us now. And you're safe. He's gone.

Cecilia Kass

James. Tell me you don't think I did this. Tell me you know that. I may as well have done it, though.

Cecilia Kass
[James shakes his head]

I brought Adrian into her life. I did that.

James Lanier

I shouldn't have walked out on you and left you alone. I failed you.

James Lanier

Hey, hey. You okay?

Cecilia Kass

It's okay...

James Lanier

You okay? What...

Cecilia Kass

I'm okay. I'm okay. James, look at me. I'm okay. He killed himself. He cut his own throat. There's security camera video of it.

James Lanier
[James sees Cecilia carrying the invisibility suit in her bag making a soft and rapid clicking sound]

You never did want to get him to admit anything on tape, did you?

Cecilia Kass

Of course I did. I just didn't know he was that unstable.

Cecilia Kass
[James stares at Cecilia]

You heard it, right? James? What'd it sound like to you?

James Lanier
[hesitates]

It sounded a lot like he killed himself.
