In Troy's Office
Troy is pulling out a file on PHENAVERITAS and then he has a flashback when he tells Nora that she doesn't understand how he feels about her and he would do anything for her.
Troy: (to himself) Alright, here goes nothing.
Nora walks into the office.
Nora: Hi! Got a sec?
Troy: Nora! Hey, come on in.
Nora: Thank you.
Troy: What are you doing here?
Nora: Um, incorporation papers! Uh, you need to initial a spot. Some how it got pass us.
Troy: Ah hah! Well I can't say I'm surprised. You seemed a little flustered when you stopped by my loft with the papers.
Nora: (handing him the papers) Here.
Troy: (initialing the papers) Look, Nora, I know it was a little awkward with Lindsay being there and all.
Nora: Done? (He hands them to her) Thank you.
Troy: You could have just messengered these over. So why the house call?
Nora: I brought these papers myself, because I wanted to speak to you personally.
Troy: I see. (He closes the door and gets a chair for her) Please sit down.
Nora: Um no, thank you. I . . . look it wasn't until I went to your loft that I realized just how far you would go to find out Lindsay's involvement in my drugging and kidnapping.
Troy: I told you, I'm willing to go all the way.
Nora: So to speak.
Troy: You're saying that you don't like my tactics huh..
Nora: No! You're having sex with Lindsay.
Troy: And that bothers you?
Nora: You could have anyone you want in your personal life, but . . . sleeping with Lindsay!
Troy: Don't you worry about it. I can handle her.
Nora: Alright well, something else I . . . need to discuss with you. You've been saying a few things to me recently that I've actually found very disturbing.
Troy: Okay, such as?
Nora: That you care for me. And that you're doing this for me.
Troy: Anything else?
Nora: And that you would do anything for me, and I don't want that!
Troy: I don't believe you!
Nora: Alright Dr. MacIver, you're going to do anything you want to do anyway, so I might as well come right out and ask you. If you get this, what you want, if you get Lindsay to confess to my drugging and kidnapping, what is it that you expect from me in return?
Troy: Is that the kind of guy you think I am? You think I do things for woman just so I could get something out of them later?
Nora: I don't know what kind of guy you are!
Troy: Right! Well you know you could've just ask.
Nora: You keep telling me you're doing this for me. I want to make something perfectly clear. I never asked you to do it. I'm with Sam now. And no matter what happens at the end of this, I will always be with Sam.
Troy: I know that.
Nora: I mean if you get Lindsay to confess . . .
Troy: Look Nora, lets get something straight here, okay! If I do get Lindsay to confess, I'm not just doing it for you. This is something that I need for me!
Nora: What, because of Colin?
Troy: Yes, and because of me.
Nora: Troy, just because you look alike . . .
Troy: (agitated, he walks around the desk) Look, I don't even expect you to understand Nora. I don't expect anyone to understand unless they've woken up every day of their lives and looked into a mirror and realized it wasn't a mirror. It was another you. Do you have any idea what it's like growing up with someone who knows you so well that most of the time, words aren't even necessary? Because you're thinking exactly the same thing.
Nora: Okay Troy, don't do this to yourself.
Troy: (leaning over the desk) I KNOW that what Colin did to you, terrified you. (Nora gets a terrified look on her face.) And you know how I know? Because I saw the expression on your face the first time that you saw me.
Nora: I've gotten pass that, and you know it.
Troy: And that's great Nora, but I haven't. Everytime I walk past a mirror, Colin is there. We were so much a part of each other's lives that it's almost as if . . . (sitting on the end of his desk) Look Nora, I want to help you, I do. But I have to prove that somehow Lindsay pushed my brother over the edge because when I think of what what my identical twin did to you, there had to be something else going on. Somehow Lindsay made him do it!
Nora: Okay, but do you see what's going on here Troy?
Troy: Yes, I do see what's going on! I'm getting closer to the truth.
Nora: At what cost? Troy you're sleeping with Lindsay! That's something that Colin would do. . . Troy, I understand why you are so desperate to find out what Lindsay did. And how much responsibility she had in what Colin did. But the way you're doing it, it's wrong!
Troy: It's time for Lindsay to pay! My brother paid with his life.
Nora: Yes, well, I made sure of that, didn't I?
Troy: Nora, you know I never blamed you for that. I know you had no choice in what happened to you. Just like Lindsay isn't going to have any choice in what happens to her.
Nora: Okay!
Troy: No, once I find out the truth Nora . . .
Nora: No, no I want you to stop now, because I don't want to know!
Troy: Okay.
Nora: No, not okay. Not okay! Whatever issues you have with Colin, they're far more complexed than I could ever understand. But what I do know is it's wrong and I don't want you doing it for me. Is that clear?
Troy: Absolutely counselor.
Nora: Thank you. Good-bye! (she starts to head out the door)
Troy: Ah Nora!
Nora: Yes?
Troy: You forgot something. (he hands her her briefcase) I will get the truth out of Lindsay. I guarantee you. (she leaves) With a little help from the pharmacy. (he picks up the file again and starts to read...PHENAVERITAS...The New TRUTH SERUM)
Later, Troy is reading the article.
Troy: The liquid form of PHENAVERITAS is still in the experimental stage. In clinical studies, patients have experienced profound loosenings of inhibitions and increased ability to contact the truth! (he's paged) Yeah hi, is the volunteer ready? Great, will you send her in please! (Gabrielle walks in)
