Hope continues to question the bartender.
Hope: Please... I have good reasons why I need to know a few details of their stay here. I know they were together.
Bartender: Look... I sympathize with you. It must be your husband and you are probably worried that he took this girl to the bar and...
Hope: No! It's not my husband... It's my brother.
Bartender: Well either way... It's still a family affair and I won't be in the middle of it.
Hope: Look... If you prefer the cops showing here then...
Bartender: Whoa! The cops?
Hope: A girl had sex with my brother in this hotel. First they drank at your bar. She doesn't remember a thing...
Bartender: But...
Hope: There is no "but"... Or you will talk to me... Or the cops will be here tomorrow. I bet that it wouldn't be good for this place image.
Bartender looks down.
Hope: Okay, I guess you prefer the police to show up.
Hope prepares to leave.
Bartender: Wait... Please don't go to the police. It's my uncle's business. He worked very hard for it.
Hope: This girls life is absolutely broken because of what happened here so I need you to tell me everything.
Bartender: So these two were here together some days ago. The guy was drinking less... The girl was having one drink after the other. She seemed depressed.
Hope: Yeah... She was sad. Continue...
Bartender: So the guy is your brother?
Hope: Yes...
Bartender: What I will say might give him problems...
Hope: Tell me.
Bartender: So they really had sex?
Hope: Yes...
Bartender: Well then she was really raped.
Hope: What do you mean?
Bartender: I was sure that they are a couple... So when I saw that she is completely wasted I told the guy about our rooms. He booked one. I helped him to carry that girl upstairs.
Hope: So she was absolutely wasted?
Bartender: Yeah... Unconscious. There was no way that she could consent... I had no idea what when I will carry that girl to the room... That.... That she will be there with a guy that isn't her boyfriend and that will take advantage of her. He seemed sincerely worried about her.
Hope starts crying.
Bartender: You need a tissue?
Hope: No, I'm fine...
Bartender: Please... Deal with your brother in private... I told you everything.
Hope: Don't worry. I'll deal with him.
Next scene: Karen and the doctor talk in Caroline's presence.
Karen: I told you Dean... I told you there is hope.
Dr Dean: I'm amazed... You are incredibly lucky, but we still don't know if she'll wake up and if she won't be very disabled.
Karen: She has to wake up. She has a son.
Dr Dean: Karen, you kept him here for weeks hoping that Caroline will wake up... Now he is with a new mother.
Karen: Douglas has just one mother and it's Caroline. Hope is a... A substitute.
