Whatever you think you know,you've made a mistake.
I saw the car in your garage.
AKAugust Kellerman
First of all,my home and my vehicle are my own business. Beyond that, I had an accident.So what?
So what? So you nearly killed my son and a good friend.
AKAugust Kellerman
You're wrong. I swerved to miss some deer, and I hit a light pole.
You hit a car, Kellerman, on the Gabel Bridge, and then you drove away and left two people drowning in the river when the levee broke.
AKAugust Kellerman
I didn't...
You didn't what? You didn't do it, or you don't remember doing it, considering the empty bottle of bourbon I found underneath your front seat?
AKAugust Kellerman
You're making a mistake.
Okay.So, you had an accident the night of the big storm, you smashed the front of your late-model maroon Grand Wagoneer, and then you drove away without anybody seeing. Meanwhile, a different late-model maroon Grand Wagoneer crashed into my son's car on the same night at around the same time, and then also drove away. And the eyewitness is mistaken.
AKAugust Kellerman
I have nothing else to say to you.
Well, I have something to say to you. My son was trapped inside that car. He was scared, and he was alone, and you left him there. His godmother nearly died that night in front of his eyes. And you could have helped them, but instead, you slipped into the shadows like a coward. Well, I'm about to shine a light into those shadows because I know what you did, and you know what you did. And this is going to be made right by you or by me. You think about that.
I can't believe they're gonna tear down the Rivercourt. It's gonna be so weird not to have it here. It's sad. It reminds me that we're not who we used to be anymore.
I got an offer to go to New York.
A job offer to move to New York and design.
Is that something that you'd consider?
Victoria thinks I should...Maybe it’s good that the Rivercourt will be gone. When we see it, it just reminds us of what’s gone, who we thought we would be someday.
So, Kellerman came to see me yesterday. He admitted that it was him. He resigned his teaching position, and he offered to pay any costs associated with the accident, and he apologized.
I'm not defending him, Julian. I just wanted you to know what happened. He said that he was hoping we wouldn't go to the cops, but if we did, he would accept whatever happens.
You see, this is what I'm talking about, Nate...so now it's on us? So I got to feel guilty if we turn in Kellerman for getting drunk and driving like an idiot? Great! That's on me now.
And me.What do you think?
I don't know. What do you think?
I think Kellerman's life was academia, and he just lost that. But if you want to turn him in, I'm completely fine with that, too.This has nothing to do with Ian or Fortitude.
I know that, but I want to talk to him.
August Kellerman. I want to look him in the eye and hear his side of things.
My name is Julian Baker. My wife, Brooke, was in the car you hit.
AKAugust Kellerman
I'm sorry for that.
And you think that's enough? I watched her lungs fill with water because of what you did. I watched her eyes go dim.
AKAugust Kellerman
I said I was sorry.
Well, "sorry" isn't enough. You insensitive jerk, that's my wife...you understand?...I nearly lost my wife. Nathan nearly lost his son. Do you know what that feels like?
KKellerman
Yes I do. I've lost both.
