Complete story — includes the ending

Viktor ( David Hemmings ), a former member of the KGB, visits Cicely to sell Maurice (who is still working on his memoirs) his dossier, which contains some very embarrassing information. He also talks Joel into accepting the dossier of a Russian Jew also named Fleishman as payment for his treatment. Jason ( John Hawkes ), a dedicated young health inspector who once shut down his own father's establishment, gives The Brick its first checkup in more than thirty years. Uneasy, Holling encourages Shelly to go see a movie with Jason after Jason shows interest in her. When a colleague is killed on a flight that she was supposed to pilot, Maggie vows to live each day as if it were her last. She is nice to everyone, even Joel, but her body rebels.
