Kim: How'd you find me?

Amanda: I'm a cop, Kim.

Kim: I'm not supposed to talk to you, so--

Amanda: We need some sister time, me and you.

Kim: I know you're upset, and I'm--I'm sorry.

Amanda: You're sorry. You put me in jail.

Kim: I didn't mean to. That Mr.
Tucker, he said it was me or you.

Amanda: Did you tell Jeff to come to New York?

Kim: No. Maybe. Look, I was-- I was lonely.

Amanda: Did you call him that night and tell him to come over? Was he even trying to rape you? You know what?

Kim: Stop it, all right? You always do that.

Amanda: I do what?

Kim: You make me feel like everything is my fault.

Amanda: No, you know what? You don't get to do that right now. You don't get to go there. It's true. You set me up. You set Jeff up. You wanted me to kill him.

Kim: He was a bad man, Amanda.

Amanda: Oh, my God.

Kim: He beat me. When you walked in, he was hurting me.

Amanda: Oh.

Kim: You know what your problem is? You're too big for your britches. You've always thought you were better than us.

Amanda: This is not happening.

Kim: Mama used to say that all that ambition would get you in trouble some day.

Amanda: Are you even pregnant? How can you even ask me that? Don't--just--

Kim: I thought I was. I was a week late.

She leaves and goes to her therapist. Her therapist answers the door.

Therapist: Detective, I'm just about to start a session.

Amanda: My sister set me up. I'm being charged with murder. Well, you said if I felt any anxiety..

Therapist: We can set up an appointment.

Amanda: Oh, right, yeah.

Therapist: I do work for NYPD, but I can recommend someone outside the department.
