All language subtitles for Twice in a Lifetime s01e04 Ashes to Ashes

Now for Double Jeopardy and two free
weeks in Chichicastenango.

In our 37th week, patient M is admitted
with contractions every five minutes. Is

it false labor or is it early labor? You
are prepping and scrubbing her for

what?

For cesarean section.

Your patient's hemorrhaging and you're
going in after a preemie with a knife.

that your answer, is it? Dr. Grant,
report to obstetrics.

Yes. Yes,

it is.

Ladies and gentlemen, cast your eyes on
an obstetrician in the making.

Placenta previa can induce early labor
resulting in stillbirth or morbidity.

when your patient is showing these
symptoms, there is only one way, one, to

her baby and her life.

Don't blink.

Cut. This.

This is what is the instrument of
healing. This is what you are here to

use.

Section 8 grand rounds tomorrow.

And people don't be late.

Dr.

Grant, there was a note in my box to see
this morning. You missed your DR shift

last night, Lisa.

Yeah, sorry. My grandmother's been sick.

Anyway, Dad felt so bad that, you know,
he wanted you to sit up with her. Right.

Dad's devastated she's so ill. He really
appreciates your understanding.

All right.

I'll excuse it.

Once.

Don't let it happen again.

No, I won't. Promise.

Thank you, Doctor.

What are you looking at?

Sonny?

You've got to hurry. You don't want to
be late for the Board of Directors

reception. Go home.

Change. It's your big night.

If I get the promotion.

Got any aspirin? Top drawer.

You'll get it.

You will be the new chief of medicine.

Does that mean I'll have to bow when you
come in?

Dr. Brickner, what brings you to Middle
Earth?

Oh, just passing by.

Can you excuse us for a moment, please,
Rachel?

Certainly. Oh, by the way, Sam called.
He said it was important.

How is Sam? I heard he was let go from
that software company.

He never had a real feel for computers.

How's he taking all this? My, uh...

Retirement, your imminent promotion.

What's on your mind, Dan?

You didn't come all the way down from
Elysium just to jaw about my husband.

Senior resident says that Lisa Rudinsky
cut a deliver room shift.

He's threatening to resign if she's not
disciplined.

Resign? Over one absence?

It's her fifth.

Didn't you check her permanent file?

Sorry, I didn't know.

I just excused her. I remember when
cutting a shift cost your husband his

career.

That was a long time ago, and the
situation was different.

Yes, very.

Sam's father isn't a voting member of
the board. You think I'd excuse that

because of her father?

Would you have excused Lisa's absence if
her father wasn't on the board?

Dammit, her father had nothing to do
with... I don't deserve this, Dan.

I hope not.

I'll see you tonight.

Sam, is that you?

So? It's really coming down.

Didn't Rachel tell you I called?

Oh, Sam, I'm sorry. I forgot.

Crazy day.

How do I look?

You dazzle.

Sure you don't want me to come with you?

Oh, I don't want to put you through a
long and boring evening.

My wife making chief of medicine is
hardly boring.

Oh, God, the time. Sam, don't wait up.
I'll give you a blow -by -blow in the

morning.

Grace.

You finally made it.

Will you be happy now?

Happy? Sam, we're grown -ups. What kind
of question is that?

It's not going to be enough, is it?

We've sacrificed everything for you to
get to this place.

We're not going to go through that no
family thing again, are we?

Weren't two miscarriages enough? Those
weren't misses.

They were work -related, stress
-induced, spontaneous abs.

Sam, I'll do the diagnosing in this
household.

And besides, what did you expect me to
do? Curl up in bed for nine months?

I have got an obstetric unit to run. And
after tonight, it will be a whole

hospital.

I am tired of feeling as if I am letting
you down.

Get a job, Sam.

Get a life.

You sucker. Keep coming, Grace. You're
almost there. Get a job, Sam.

Get a life.

Welcome,

Grace.

Hey

there.

Where the hell am I?

Actually, that's where you're not.

All in good time.

Where on earth?

Nowhere on earth.

I've seen you.

You were at the hospital, but how
could... Predestination.

I was inspiring what you said about the
great instrument of healing being the

human hand.

But what about the human heart?

Strongest muscle in the body. Would you
mind telling me where I am? I have got

an appointment and I should call...
Where's my cell phone?

The way beyond the coverage area.

Wait a second.

I was coming to the railroad crossing.
The lights were blinking. I hit the gas

and... Wait.

I didn't make it, did I?

Not even close.

But...

But the car had an airbag and I always
used my seatbelt. This is ridiculous.

I can't be dead. I've got so much to do.

Dr. Grace Grant Hastings, I presume.

You're up.

Come on.

That's your name with a hyphen in it,
lady?

Yes.

Are you God?

Made in his image, same as you.

It says here that you are a self
-confessed secular

humanist.

Another new dick.

Your Honor, Dr.

Grant has healed thousands of sick
people.

She's brought hundreds of children into
the world.

For substantial fees, I would assume.

Well, let's cut to the chase here,
Jones.

How do you intend to counter the
argument that your charge here is vain,

self -centered, proud, ambitious,
arrogant, judgmental?

And it's someone who is known to have
calculated and

clawed her way up every rung of the
ladder of success.

She's a 90s woman?

Oh, Johnsy. What is it you're looking
for here? We're asking for a life

sentence, Your Honor.

What? Are you out of your mind?

No, no, it's not what you think.

But I never committed a crime.

You never betrayed your husband?

No, I never cheated on Sam.

On the night of August 24, 1979,

were you in delivery room...

Two? Of the Detroit General Hospital?

Probably. I'm there most nights.

Well, something went terribly wrong that
night. It changed your husband's

destiny.

Marred his life forever.

Remember?

What's the matter with you?

I'm sorry, Dr. Wiggins.

What? I'm not equipped to do this right
now.

Are you drunk?

Yeah, I think I must be. Get out of the
living room right now. Grace, take over.

Yes, sir.

What are you gaping at? I've got a woman
in labor here. Get back to work.

It's not my fault he was in no condition
to operate.

Not your fault.

An ambitious young woman is lover.

And his rival.

Why are we watching this?

Perhaps it's crucial to the case.

Will you marry me?

Yes.

Watch out!

Dr.

Hastings! I'm sorry!

Yes. She said yes.

I'll go get dry.

Don't move, Grace.

I see congratulations are in order.

Oh, how'd the hospital find out so fast?

There you go.

Hello? The future Mrs. Dr.

Grant Hastings here.

Dr. Hastings?

Yes. Dr. Brickner wants you ASAP. It's
for an emergency delivery.

Not Dr. Grant?

Is this Dr. Hastings?

Tell Dr. Brickner that Dr. Hastings is
on the way.

To us?

I need to call the hospital check. Oh,
Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam.

You don't think I would pour you a glass
of champagne if I hadn't already

checked in.

To us.

Forever.

You think you have to concede? It seems
rather an open and shut case.

When you chose ambition over love, you
sentenced yourself

and your husband to a life of emptiness
and guilt.

I thought he'd call in sick, get a
reprimand.

To tell the truth.

I didn't understand what it would do to
him.

Todd, it's not what I meant to happen.

Suppose... Suppose you could change what
happened that night.

What?

Suppose you can go back and help that
young woman make the right choice.

Could I do that?

Could I go back?

I have to change what happened.

Tell me how.

The case made against you, by your own
admission, is strong.

Touched by your pain.

Therefore, you will have three days and
three days only to undo the harm you

have done your husband's life.

No one will recognize you.

You are a free agent in the universe
with the blessing of God Almighty and

court.

And are thereby sentenced to life.

What is it? What's happening?

There appears to be an emergency.

What's going on?

Just rolled in with a 20 -year -old
woman in her seventh month. I was going

say she fell down the stairs.

Well, get her up to deliver her in three
steps. Where is the doctor on call?

Excuse me, you.

What do you think you're doing?

You don't give the orders. I do.

Remember that, nurse.

Nurse?

I like your name.

Very earthy.

You've got... To be kidding. You sent me
back here as a nurse?

I don't make the rules. I simply try to
enforce them.

How will I get influence over her as a
nurse? And a nurse named Daisy to boot?

Nurse?

Nurse?

Bradford, are you L &D qualified?

Yes. Well, stop talking to yourself and
come on then.

You heard the doctor. It's your second
chance.

Move.

Shoot her five pieces of deline and swap
this IV for saline and glucose. You.

What the hell's your name?

Daisy. Get her tight and pull two units
of whole blood. We'll get her

stabilized, then I'll induce. What the
hell are you doing?

This woman's got two cracked vertebrae.
What are you yammering about? Where's my

pitocin? You induce labor. The
contractions could sever her spinal

might never walk again.

Do I have to get it myself? Wait,
please.

Right.

Check it out.

Get her into X -ray.

Don't you just love Susan Ritchie?

Yeah. She's a shoe -in for an Emmy.

I thought she'd win last year.

No one wins the first time they're
nominated.

1979 will be different.

Three days.

How am I going to change her in three
days? Did you see her face in there?

You just saved her from a costly mistake
and kept the woman from being crippled

on her watch.

You've earned her respect.

She will never forgive me for showing
her up. I know.

You were out of line.

I was about to diagnose a final injury
when you jumped in and took the words

of my mouth.

You're right. I wasn't sure that... It's
not your place to be sure. It's mine.

And you know more than the other RNs.
You went to med school, didn't you?

Yeah.

What happened?

Maybe I had an attack of pride.

Maybe it wasn't enough to heal.

I had to be top of my class.

Nothing else mattered. Not friendship.

Certainly not love.

Sound familiar, Grace?

No.

You didn't make it and I did. You
bounced out and wound up an RN instead

MD.

I'm going to make chief of obstetrics.
Then one day chief of medicine.

I'll forget what you did today.

Just don't forget your place again.

Physician, heal thyself.

Does, um, everyone get a chance to go
back and change their life when they

Why should they?

People can change their lives anytime
they want.

There's no statute of limitations on
saying I'm sorry, I was wrong, I made a

mistake.

But how can I get Grace to learn in two
more days what I never learned in a

lifetime?

Your life's about the choices you make.

You can make the choice that it's
impossible.

If I were you, I'd start thinking with
my heart and feeling with my brain.

The answer will come.

Oh, nurse.

Nurse Bradford.

I thought you'd like to know the woman
with the fracture is in ICU.

She'll be okay.

And she'll carry her baby to term.

Great. Thanks for letting me know.

I think you should tell the police.

You don't think her injury was an
accident?

I've seen her too many times. My feeling
is spousal abuse.

Let's check her x -rays for old
injuries.

Thanks.

By the way, I'm Sam Hastings. Daisy
Bradford.

Who are you?

I don't think so.

I haven't seen you in delivery before.

Where have you been hiding?

Uh, cardiology.

Their loss is our gain.

You were incredible in there today.

And you stared down Dr. Grant, and she
blinked.

That's a first.

I hear she's a great doctor.

Yes. Really?

What about you?

I'm a good doctor, but I don't have what
Grace has.

Total confidence, total courage that I'm
right. You had the courage to consider

what a lowly nurse had to say.

You saved that woman and her baby.

Not Dr. Grant.

I'm not sure I deserve that credit, but
I'll take it. Thank you.

Do you want a ride?

What? No, no, no. Thank you.

I live in the neighborhood.

I'll walk.

I love to walk.

I'd feel better if you dealt with that
battered woman.

And maybe talk to the police.

Right. Again.

Any more advice?

Yeah.

Try making up with Dr.

Grant.

She's not a happy camper.

Thanks, Daisy.

By the way, I'll take a rain check on
that walk.

Hi.

What's wrong?

What's wrong is that you seem more
interested in your new friend than the

who... Loves me?

Why won't you say it, Grace?

We work together. We live together. Dr.

Brickner is going to make one of us
chief resident in two days.

Why get it complicated?

It's something you either do or you
don't.

I have work to do, Sam.

I think she's finally getting it through
her head that she loves him. I mean, I

think I'm starting to make headway.

Really?

Classic case of nurse burnout.

You do not get that jealous unless you
have really fallen for a guy.

I am warning you, Sam. If you go through
with this, you're going to regret it.

Is that correct, Dr. Grant? Take it any
way you want, but take it seriously.

You were saying?

After what I told you last night, how
could you even think of this?

Let me understand this.

You told me you love me. Therefore, I
shouldn't talk to Brickner about Daisy.

Tell me the logic behind that one. You
need to get your priorities straight,

Sam. Concentrate on your own career
instead of promoting Daisy Bradford.

Daisy.

Just who I was looking for. Come with
me.

What? What are you looking at?

I told Dr. Brickner what you did in the
delivery room yesterday.

He wants to meet you.

Dr. Brickner?

But I'm happy being a DR nurse. I don't
want some big new assignments.

Just keep an open mind, okay?

Wait here.

The plot thickens.

I've made everything worse.

Grace will never forgive Sam for helping
me. She'll find a way to cost him his

residency just like she did before.

Interesting.

You're more concerned with Sam's career
than your own.

I'd call that progress.

Dr. Brickner wants to see you, Daisy.

Sam, I can't.

Sam, thank him, but I really have to get
back to my shift.

Why would Sam do something like that for
my career? He knows it'll infuriate

her. Me.

Because it was the right thing to do?

I know, I know.

Two days to go. There it was.

Did you see the way Sam was looking at
you?

I just think he wants a friend.

Well, I think he wanted more than that.

Don't be ridiculous.

He loves her. Sam is just angry at Grace
because of the situation I created. So,

I'll fix it. Good.

How?

I don't know.

I'm not a shrink. I'm a OBGYN. Jones,
I'm losing Sam.

That's my future. Sam and medicine.

Can you say both?

Isn't that why I'm here?

Is it?

A day and a half ago, I threw him away.
Why does it hurt so badly now?

Because you finally discovered that the
heart is more than a muscle.

Yeah.

A lifetime too late.

So, this is my punishment, right? So
this is why I was given a chance to come

back to pay for what I did in another
lifetime.

You want to know why God gave you a
second chance, Grace?

Because he loves you.

Daisy, Dr. Hastings is in room three.

Tell him I'll be right there.

I'm not losing him without a fight.

Tell your boss that for me.

Never saw a seizure like that before.

What the hell was she high on?

Angel dust.

Angel dust?

What's that?

Phencylonide.

Veterinarians use it as a tranquilizer.
Kids call it rocket fuel because it

sends their heads into orbit. It's the
next big thing.

That's a good tip. I'll go look it up.

I'm sure there'll be a next time.

Thanks, Daisy.

Why are you always trying to show me up?

Are you that desperate for Sam?

Is that what you think?

It is pathetic.

You could be his mother.

Do you honestly think you could take him
away from me?

I don't have to.

You're giving him away.

You're so...

Busy knowing everything that you have
nothing to learn.

I'm going to be chief resident at a
leading hospital. I do nothing but

You heal bodies, but you know nothing
about the human heart.

And you're losing the only person who
could possibly teach you. You see Sam as

your private, personal property and your
competition, but he is so much more.

He is kind, he is caring, and he has a
moral compass that you are missing.

You're in love with him, aren't you?

Does that matter?

It's how you feel that counts.

Love him.

Really love him.

Believe him, B.

But I won't let you destroy him again.

I've got to take a miracle to reach her,
and I am fresh out, but I am not

leaving here until I know Sam is
protected.

You think Grace could still sabotage
Sam?

More than ever. She is so self
-centered, she can't imagine that she

Sam. But when she does, she'll
retaliate, and I've got to find a way to

her. Maybe Sam isn't meant to be a
doctor.

Of course he is.

All these years, I thought that I was
better than him. I excuse Raleigh

I was the brilliant one.

There is one person that young Grace
can't fool. Me.

And there is one person I know will
listen to the truth.

Brickner. Ray, don't do it.

Whatever you're planning, don't do it.
Listen, Jones, you sent me back here to

save Sam. And that is what I am going to
do, come hell or high water.

Pray for rain.

What's going on between you and Daisy?

Nothing. So why did you go to Brickner
and try to get her a new position?

Because I think she'd be great.

What is it exactly you're feeling for
her? Because I don't understand what's

going on. Well, I don't understand
either. I feel

drawn to her.

Drawn to her?

She has something.

Something I'm missing in my life. What?

A woman's heart.

I get off in an hour.

How about catching a movie with me in
Valencia? We could grab a bite

What do you say?

Sure, yeah. You're on.

I'm at 427 Crescent.

Pick me up at 8?

Well,

the lines are still there, but by God, I
earned them.

Last date with my husband. What could be
sinful about that?

He's not your husband.

He never will be if you throw it all
away for one night.

Listen, Jones.

I know I've blown it and I have a pretty
good idea where I will end up after

tonight, but... All my life...

today, please.

Let me have this one night with the only
person I've ever loved.

After all, it has to last me for an
eternity.

I think I've died and gone to heaven.

You ready?

It's now or never.

I bet Sally Field gets an Academy Award
for that.

Oh, she was better in places than the
heart.

You must have missed that one.

How could you? She got her second Oscar.
Oh, you liked me. You really liked me.

I don't get it.

That wasn't until 1984.

Are you sure?

Yeah, I'm sure.

What did you say the name of that other
movie was?

You're forgetting rule one.

You're the only person who can see and
hear me right now.

Oops.

Movie called Oops?

The Flying Nun.

I'll make coffee.

Oh, that was such fun.

It's been years since I actually sat in
a theater to watch a movie instead of

running a video.

What?

It's pouring out there.

Always rains on every important night of
my life. You're gonna get soaked on the

way home.

I saw you, it was like I'd known you for
years.

Like a piece of me was missing, and I
didn't know it until you filled it.

You feel it too, don't you?

Every time you look at me, I see it in
your eyes.

Is it that easy to forget Grace?

She doesn't love me.

She loves her career.

You called me crazy.

I did?

Oh, Daisy.

I'm sorry.

Do you still love her even after the way
she's acted?

Stupid, isn't it?

I don't know what it is.

I'm too weak to let her go, I guess.

if she really deserves you.

We have a choice on who we love.

No. No, we don't.

Go. Go home, Sam.

This isn't our time.

I don't understand it.

I don't want to leave you, but I know I
can't stay.

Oh, for goodness sake, Sam, go home.

Before, uh...

before I do something with both regrets.

Can't believe it.

Susan Lutz, she didn't win an Emmy.

Third time lucky.

She'll win an 80.

I heard you were getting transferred.

Who told you?

I got it from some intern called Jones.

Hiya, Dr. Grant.

Hiya, Thelma. Could I speak to Daisy
privately?

Sure, whatever you say.

Come on, Louise.

So it's true you're going.

You've ruined my relationship with Sam,
you know.

Oh, I think you could have done that all
by yourself.

In fact, I'm sure of it.

Why'd you lead him on, knowing you were
leaving?

Is that what you're worried about?

Sam's feelings. I am not a monster.

Sometimes I get over -focused, and it's
called chronically self -centered.

Sam says you have a woman's heart.

What does he mean?

Why don't you ask him?

Because... Because...

I'm afraid of what he'll say, that he'll

expect more than I can give him, or
worse, that he won't want anything

from me at all.

I've never heard you say a woman's
heart. I think what Sam means is that he

wants you to care about him. I do. More
than yourself?

I love him. I want him back.

More than your career?

Why?

Why do I have to choose?

Because only one of you can be chief
resident.

And I know that you want that more than
anything, including Sam.

That is not true.

I love Sam.

You have to prove it.

What do you think she'll do?

Doesn't matter.

I know her, and it's all here, and Dr.
Brickner will choose Sam.

You're almost out of time, Grace. Are
you sure?

Once you put that envelope down, your
fate is sealed.

You lose everything.

Not everything.

For once, I'll have my dignity.

And Sam will have his life back.

Sorry.

It's okay.

Just water.

I'll go get dry.

All right.

Don't move, Grace.

Grace.

There's a phone call for Dr. Hastings.

Oh, thanks, Maggie.

And, uh, bring a bottle of champagne.

It's celebration time.

It's agony to see this playing out
again.

You made a choice.

I know how the story ends.

I can feel her ambition. It's inside me.
It's a part of my memory, too.

Maybe it was destiny.

There isn't destiny.

There are only choices.

And I can't let this happen again twice
in a lifetime.

Grace, don't. There's no time.

Oh, no, God, please.

I can't. I can't be fixed. Not yet.
Excuse me, Dr. Grant. Can I talk to you?

Yeah. Jones, where are you? Dr. Grant.

Dr. Grant, there was a note in my box to
see you this morning.

What?

Oh.

Yes,

you missed your DR shift last night.

Yeah, sorry. My grandma's been sick.

It's my father's mother, and I know
they're very close, so... So you took

night off to sit up with her.

Yeah, right, right.

Wrong.

Well, you were out playing.

or at a rock concert, or with your
boyfriend.

We were playing life and death here
without you.

Now, your daddy may be a big shot, but
lady, if you cut another shift, I will

blow your butt out of this hospital.

Now do we understand each other?

Doctor! Yes.

Yes, I'm sorry.

How does that feel?

happened to me.

I'm changed.

I can feel it.

I'm still a doctor here.

I made it.

What happened to me?

Your expense counts are ready for
signing.

The director's reception is at seven.

Go home.

Change. It's your big night.

Oh, forget that.

Have I had any calls?

Calls. You, the head of obstetrics?

Calls? Has my... Has Sam called?

Sam?

No, Sam.

Oh, you mean Sam, your husband?

Yes, he called.

Oh, Rachel!

Cancel it!

You don't have any!

Good. I'm going home.

Everything was different.

What?

You can't go to Becky's house until you

finish your paper on Hamlet.

Mom, do I have to?

Yes.

Yes, you have to. Mom, Mom, I got my
first Bobcat badge.

Amy?

Was that your mom's car?

Yeah, right here, Dad.

Oh, stranger.

What time you got here?

Hey.

Hey, I'm upset. I'm so upset.

Oh, how I love you.

Sweetheart, I love you, too.

But look at the time. You have to get
dressed.

Tonight's the night.

Tonight? Dr.

Grace Grant Hastings. Dr. Sam Hastings.
Co -chiefs of medicine at Detroit

General.

What a perfect idea.

That went rather well, considering.

Mr. Jones?

Where are you?

Here.

Well, I guess I finally made the right
choice.

Yes.

Yes, you did, and he is very pleased
indeed.

I didn't even believe in him.

But he believed in you.

I'll never see you again, will I?

Oh, I don't know.

Never's a long time.

But I have a hunch you won't need me
again.

And when I leave, Grace, I will take all
your memories of this adventure with

me. Your old life will never have
happened.

I'll miss you.

No, you won't.

Because you won't remember.

I'll still miss you.

I'll miss you, too.

We gotta go.
