S1 E15Unfinished Business

[to Bel] No man is sane who doesn't know how to be insane on the proper occasions. Madness is a prerequisite for any good journalist.

[about Freddie] God, he's so frustrating! He really is! Well, don't smile. Why are you laughing?

Because for someone so brutally honest with everyone else, you display such blatant deceit when it comes to yourself.

Freddie's...

Back. I hear his wife is still away. Well, you always did have a penchant for the married man.

I wrote you two letters. One from San Diego, one from New York. - And I said...

Freddie.

... just get on a plane. Just get on a plane and come. And I said... And you, you didn't write back. And I told myself, of course, it's because you love news more. That doing this would always be more important than any man. So I will see you tonight at El Paradis. Because this is what we do.

I just... I can't do this. I can't be this.

Yes, you can. There's more to life than chasing history.

No, there isn't. The truth is something you don't have to lie about.

You are not impossible. Impossible is just what hasn't been done. It's not impossible when it's possible.

We need to talk. We haven't...

Haven't what?

We haven't... About us.

No, we don't, we need to stop talking, we talk too much. Instead, we have to do something.

[He kisses her.]

I am tired of it not being possible, it is possible. You are possible. You are possible with me.

[Hector is sterile. Marnie doesn't know.]

Hector, um... I think, well, I'm sure I'm...

You're sure you're what?

I'm... three weeks gone. Hector...

[Hector is silent and shocked for a while.]

Well, isn't that wonderful? Isn't that what you always wanted?

Yes.

Well, then, aren't you clever, Marnie? You got what you wanted.

You got a fascist as your first recruit! That's impressive.

NPNorman Pike

You do like to rile.

I confess I do.

[voiceover, reading a letter] Dear Freddie, So I got your letter. San Francisco? Amazing. I'm sorry it's taken me so long to write back. "There are life's natural heroes and then there's you." Your words. You always believed somewhere deep in you that there is a coward. I wish I had told you that that's not true. Because you leapt, while I stayed, feet first, into the unknown. Why should I have expected anything less than fearlessness from you?

[Cut to Freddie bleeding.]

Money...

But I am not as brave as you. I want to write and say I'll be there, I'll get on a plane, I'll come right now. I really do, but I can't. Not because I don't love you. I love you, Freddie Lyon.

Money...

But because you won't even get this letter.

Money...

Because I won't ever send it. I'm the coward, Freddie, not you. So instead, I'm sending this prayer out there.

Moneypenny...

Just hoping that somehow you'll know to come home. Just please come home, now, soon. And maybe your courage will make me brave, too. Just come home and I will leap, too.

Moneypenny...
