might have been that dog?

That's why I'm here.

Hmm, well...

What year

was the accident?

- It was 2007.

- 2007.

Hmm.

[woman] Hmm.

Hmm. [clears throat]

Well, let's see,

we got him in ninety... um...

When did we get him?

[classical music playing

in headphones]

[door closes]

Oh, hi. Valerie.

[Valerie] Jonah?

Yes.

Nice to meet you in person.

Would you happen to have a spade

or a small shovel?

[Jonah] Springtime.

They tend to run head-first

into their own reflections

thinking they're being

protective.

Snap their necks.

Something about their color

makes them prone.

I... I don't know.

I understand that there's

no confidentiality

between myself

and Jonah here.

And do you understand why?

Oh, and I understand why.

Thank you.

Uh, so we're clear,

you said that there's

no confidentiality

- between us and...

- Is that wrong?

No, not wrong,

not incorrect

in the sense

that I have to report

anything incriminating

you might say

but incorrect in that there's

a great deal of confidentiality,

and you can trust that anything

we talk about is private

unless there are

extreme circumstances

where the law

needs to get involved.

Should I just record

that again?

Oh, no need.

I drank green tea for years.

Never knew about

the antioxidants. [chuckles]

Thank you so much

for making a house call.

A perk of you

not having a license.

Is this, uh...

are you new to the field?

No.

Oh.

Never been asked that before.

I just have no

frame of reference.

Uh, so, um... you know,

I have a fair number of

questions that I have to ask you

and others

that I'd like to ask you.

But is there anything

you'd like to ask me?

I'm sorry, I don't have

any more questions.

Okay. So, first off,

is there any chance

of you returning to work

at the plant in any capacity?

I would assume no.

Do you like working in sales?

[Zoe]

Is that stuff good?

This? It's the best.

Mmm. I've heard that.

Yeah?

So you have a lawn then?

No, I don't have a lawn.

I like your plaque.

Thanks.

I can put you in touch

with my guy if you want.

You want to walk?

I'm gonna walk.

[Mark] Where to?

[Zoe] Mm...

[speaks indistinctly]

[Jonah]

You're still married?

Uh, well, yes, technically.

Technically, yeah.

But you're, um...

you'll be staying here

in this house alone?

For now.

You're comfortable

living alone, I assume?

Yes, yes. Mm-hmm.

Um, living alone,

are there any concerns

that come to mind with that?

Carbon monoxide.

[chuckles softly] Huh.

Seriously,

what do you feel

is the number-one threat

to your freedom?

Well, I guess I would

have to say you, wouldn't I?

Not the answer

I was thinking of, but, uh...
