All language subtitles for Picket Fences s03e07 Rebels with Causes

It is not over until it's over.

We got a shot.

I thought this court was conservative.

It is very, but I believe in big upsets.

Scalia here.

We'll do most of the questioning.

Assuming that he can keep Bader Ginsburg
quiet, he could help us. He's the

Reagan judge.

He is a strict constructionist on the
Constitution.

He could be an ally.

Kennedy and Rehnquist, forget about.

Sandra Day O 'Connor, too.

It would be up to them. They would do
away with the Miranda.

Breyer's new. We don't know anything
about him yet.

What about Thomas?

Never speaks. Not one word from the
bench in two years. He just sits there

with his Diet Coke.

Mr. Wambaugh, are you sure we have a
chance?

I mean, we're trying to overthrow a
murder conviction with a technicality.

is the Supreme Court of the United
States.

They don't consider the Constitution a
technicality.

I have to take command.

When I go into the Great Hall, I have
to... I have to rise up to the occasion.

Mr. Wamba?

I have to rise up.

Up. Mr.

Wamba?

What in the devil are you doing? I'm all
right. I'm all right. Let me up. Let me

up. Listen, if we just take you to
Jill's, will you shut up? All right. All

right. All right. Let's just take him to
Jill's. Come on. Hurry up. Hurry up.

You got to talk to Rehnquist. Watch it
coming through this door. I got to talk

to Briar. Okay? Got it. They're all
waiting for me in the Supreme Court.

Take care of the office. I'll be right
back.

Hurry. Hurry.

I didn't think he was breathing.

He's conscious.

He just went down. I was standing right
there and he just dropped. Paramedics

thinks he's fine. We have Jill waiting
for him and an ambulance standing by to

take him to the air if necessary. Okay,
thank you.

Honey, why don't you come with us to the
station?

No, I have work. There's the Supreme
Court next week and oral arguments.

you're upset.

You shouldn't be alone.

A heart attack.

I'm only 72.

Well, KJ indicated.

No wombo has ever had a heart attack.

Well, you had some kind of coronary
episode. I know this for sure.

It's over.

Prescribe me some nitroglycerins and we
can be done with it. You had a heart

attack. You can't just be done with it,
you oaf. Oh, all right. Now, that

doesn't help.

Look, I want to take you to Chicago.

What? Chicago? Yes. There's a hospital
there with the most advanced testing.

It's way ahead of Thayer.

I don't want to take any chances.

You're talking like this is serious.

What's this?

Oh, Kenny wanted to take another look at
the Engram's crime scene. He had these

pictures blown up.

Why?

Well, I was thinking in case the guy
could be innocent.

The man's not innocent.

I'm just saying, what if he is? There's
no harm in me taking another look.

What?

Did Wambaugh ask you to do this?

Well, what difference does that make?

This case goes to the Supreme Court next
week. If the Supreme Court thinks we

reopen it, Kenny, they're going to doubt
us. Don't you get it?

Wamba positioned you.

All right, look.

As far as Wamba goes, he doesn't know we
did anything, does he, Kenny? No.

So let's keep it that way.

Wamba never needs to find out that we
reopened this case.

Which it wasn't, officially.

So we're fine.

Nobody says anything.

He never finds out.

We're fine.

Since you started working for Wambaugh,
you've taken my head off any time I've

tried to take advantage of our father
-daughter relationship.

Mm -hmm.

You're in my office today as my
daughter.

You were upset, and I brought you here
out of concern, so you've learned what

you've learned as a direct result of our
father -daughter relationship.

Daddy, it's not that simple. It is that
simple. You know what you know

because... The problem is I do know it,
and I have an obligation to the client.

You're not a lawyer. You're just an
assistant. You're like a secretary,

Kimberly. You don't have obligations to
the client.

Is that right?

No, I'm feeling much better, Daddy. I'm
going to go home.

Kim.

Jimmy, can I talk to you alone for a
second?

You and I have always been friends.

I don't mean to take advantage of that,
but...

You're the one that convinced me to dig
into the case.

First thing I gotta know is, was I set
up like Jimmy says I was?

I honestly don't know.

Wamba asked me to ask you. I admit that.

Maybe he was using you.

But I wasn't.

I promise.

Kimberly, my neck is hanging out far
enough on this already.

First with the confession.

Please, don't tell Wamba what I did.

I don't want to tell him.

Especially if he did set you up.

But even though I'm not a lawyer, the
obligation to the client extends to me,

too. And I have information here that
can help Brian Latham. How can I not use

it? I can't believe it.

I don't have a choice.

Something's wrong. The PKG looks normal.

Hello, I'm Dr. Geiger. Hello, I'm Dr.
Brock. This is Douglas Wambaugh.

Hi. How old are you? He's 72.

I've looked at the other tests, but with
what I see now, you've probably got

coronary spasm. I was thinking of
putting him on a printable.

Well, you'd be thinking wrong. Even
though the spasm's in the heart, the

problem's in his brain. What?

I'm sorry, you are again? I'm Dr.

Brock. I brought this patient here. I'm
the primary.

Oh, well, we got him now. You can go.
No, I'm going to stay.

Fine. That could be a lesion. I want to
schedule an MRI, see what's up there.

There's nothing up there.

I'm Douglas Wambo, and I'm a lawyer.

I know all about your big city
hospitals, where you schedule

operations to qualify for federal
grants. There's nothing in my head, and

not going in there. Look at his shoes.

I'll schedule the MRI for tomorrow.

Hope you enjoy your stay.

That was not a nice man.

So, you told him.

As I explained, I had to.

Your job.

Yes, my job.

Eighteen years old.

Student in high school, still living in
this house under my roof.

Point. You're a member of this family.
You can be a member of the workforce.

But while you're under this roof, family
should come first.

Where are you going?

To the office.

Isn't that where you go when you don't
like what's going on here under this

roof?

What are you doing here?

I was working in Wambaugh's office.

Big case next week, you know.

Uh -huh.

Anyway, I just came by to first say
again that I wasn't trying to use you or

you up.

I can't speak for Mr. Wambaugh, but my
motives were... Kim, I know.

Okay.

The other thing, I...

wanted to say thank you.

For what?

Well, my father is punishing me for
sticking by the client.

He doesn't think my job is real.

But you do.

I appreciate that.

Can I ask you one thing?

What? Well, you mentioned earlier how
we've always been friends.

Which is true.

But you were looking at me like...

I don't know, like we have this kind of
connection.

Actually, it's something I've always
felt, but hearing you say that today was

the first time I was sure you felt it.

Do you know what I'm talking about?
Because I sort of don't.

It's getting late, Kevin, man.

You should probably go home.

Good night.

How's Doug doing?

Oh, they're in Chicago.

My mom thinks he's going to be okay, but
she just wants to be sure.

You're a senior in high school, and
you're my boss's daughter.

I know.

I apologize. I was feeling a little
weak.

So it's over and done. It'll never
happen again.

Do you want it to be over and done?

You're a senior in high school. I work
for your father.

Yes. This you've said.

Kenny. I don't know, you know, whether
I... Look, I'm going to be

honest. I've been replaying that kiss
last night over and over in my mind. I

can't stop thinking about it.

That's not saying that I want something
to happen between us because it can't.

It shouldn't. It can't.

But I also want you to know that I ain't
walking away from it because I'm not

interested. That isn't it.

Okay. I admire your honesty.

Do me a favor. Stop admiring me, would
you?

That's sort of probably what's affecting
me.

People don't look up to me too often
these days.

Just do me a favor and don't admire me,
okay?

Okay. It never happened. It was just a
slip.

That's good.

A slip.

The slip.

We're just friends.

Just friends.

Mm -hmm.

I'm not sure.

Something doesn't feel right.

What do you mean?

I'm sure you're a very busy man.

I am. But even so, you don't just ride
into a patient's room like a freight

train and tell me it's a brain tumor.

Oh, I apologize. I only do that when a
patient could have a brain tumor. Well,

that's ridiculous.

It was a mild coronary.

You sure about that?

How long did you take to look at the
test results?

About a minute and a half.

Well, I took two hours. I've also
treated this patient for six years.

But a minute and a half, you're right.
I'm wrong.

Actually, after 30 seconds, I knew you
were wrong. The extra minute, I was

deciding what to do.

Dr. Geiger, I'm not... Look, Dr. Brock,
I'm sure you're a very good little

physician. I firmly believe more med
students should go into general

You're to be applauded. But this isn't
Green Acres. You're at Chicago Hope, and

the most profound contribution you could
make here would be to step aside. I

mean that in a good way. I am the
attending. I will participate in all the

decisions from now on. I will not step
aside. Do we understand?

I think so.

You don't like being wrong, and you
resent me for being right.

Oh.

We have a lovely cafeteria. Perhaps you
could go there, get yourself a nice cup

of coffee, ponder all the possibilities
of aspirin or whatever other miracle

drug supports your practice.

In the meantime, I'll try to save your
patient.

You're an arrogant bastard.

That was very rude, wasn't it?

I feel like a fly or something.

Here's the deal.

I think you like me, and I know I like
you. The question is, what are we gonna

do about it?

What do you want to do about it?

I want to see you, but it's not so
simple.

What do you want to do, Kenny?

I want to see you.

Then see me.

I'm not gonna sneak around.

I went the secret route with Rachel
Harris, and I promised I'd never do it

again, and I won't.

I admire that.

Sorry.

The thing is, if it ever gets out,
people are going to flip, especially

father.

But maybe not if we go to him.

If he hears it from us, he'll respect
it.

Are you out of your mind?

If he finds out by some surprise, he'll
go nuts.

So if we just tell him... He'll just
fire me.

He knows you. He likes you. He trusts
me.

Maybe he'll surprise us both and be
happy about it.

Jimmy, you heard what I said.

I think he heard.

Nothing has happened between us.

We're just here to tell you that we're
interested in dating.

We know it'll be a little controversial,
and out of respect to you, we just

wanted to tell you beforehand.

You want to date my daughter?

Yes, sir.

I know she's only 18, but she's also
pretty mature for her age, probably more

than me, so the age difference isn't a
big deal.

I'd like your permission.

But I'm not here to ask for it.

We're just here to inform you.

You two?

Together?

Yes, sir.

We may not even end up liking each
other, but... Jimmy, I know you gotta be

of freaked, but you have my word you can
trust me.

That's a promise from me to you.

A promise.

But that aside, I'll have you shot dead
if you go near her.

Daddy, that's not funny.

Look, I know I can't control my
daughter. My deputy, that I can.

So much as hold her hand, Kenny, and you
are fired.

I feel like I'm in Disneyland.

Just try to stay still, sir.

The acoustics are fine.

Do you mind if I sing?

I like to hear my voice in here.

Plus, if a man can sing a song, then
he's not sick.

Do whatever you want, sir. Just try to
remain still.

Be prepared.

That's the Boy Scout's solemn creed. Be
prepared.

I'll get an error to confirm, but see
that tissue patch?

Demyelination. Yeah.

That's the dorsal nucleus of the vagus
nerve. I know what that is. I didn't say

you didn't. I heard your tone. I don't
need your attitude.

If you want to be Ben Casey, go to
Hollywood.

So give me your opinion, doctor.

I don't know.

He's 72 years old. It doesn't make
sense.

I could have got it a long time ago.

Remits. But wouldn't there be symptoms?

Mild case, not a lot.

But the way he walks and that tremor and
that lesion there, there's no doubt

your patient has multiple sclerosis.

I didn't realize I had permission to
leave.

I didn't dare take a step without
getting your consent first.

He's ten years older than you. There's a
difference in maturity. Daddy, do you

really mean to pick maturity as the
issue? Now, so maybe we should define

term first. What's the standard? Would
it be statements like, date my daughter

and I'll have you shot dead?

Is that a level of grown -up maturity
I'm just not capable of? You're not a

grown -up.

to talk to me like that, young lady.
Yeah, Daddy, I am, and you just refuse

get that. I'm old enough to make my own
decisions. I'm even old enough to call

you an ass, should you ever act like
one, not that you ever would.

I am not a secretary -type thing whose
job is meaningless.

I am so sick of you treating me like I'm
ten.

I can date the men I choose to date, and
today I choose Kenny.

And then what? You fall in love?

I suppose he wants that. He's 29 years
old.

He might be ready for marriage.

Now, what about college, Kimberly? How
are you going to go to college raising

children? We just want to go to a movie.

It's never just a movie. Not with Kenny.

You'll dress nice. You'll share popcorn.

He's not going to stop at buttered
flavoring. The man heats up.

Are we on candid, Kim?

He's going to want more.

Daddy, first of all, I am...

Totally capable of consenting or not
consenting. And unlike you, Kenny will

respect me. And second, I've already
done more with boys than share popcorn.

No, never. You're not... I know you'd
still like to believe that I'm a virgin,

but it has to be difficult.

Particularly because you were the one
who caught me in bed with Billy O

'Connell. But, Kimberly, you might end
up liking him!

Are you on medication?

You won't date Kenny Lacos.

Oh, I will.

Then I'll fire him.

Do you want that to happen?

Him?

I'll pick you up at 8.

What the hell are you doing?

Taking your daughter to the movies.

You're fired!

What?

You heard me. You're fired!

Wear something nice.

There's nothing wrong with my brain.

You're just trying to keep me from going
to the Supreme Court.

There's nothing wrong with my brain.

Mr. Wambaugh, you have multiple
sclerosis.

I couldn't have that.

Tell him Jilly's wrong.

He says that because I'm Jewish.

Excuse me?

Doug, I'm afraid he's right.

It was the MS lesion on your brain that
could have triggered the artery spasm.

Yeah, this is a doctor conspiracy.

You get a big referral fee, he gets to
operate, and another lawyer gets to go

Washington.

Next, you'll be calling me paranoid.

Where's Miriam?

I sent her to Temple.

Somebody has got to pray.

What is this?

This multiple sclerosis?

It affects the central nervous system.

Mainly the brain, the spinal cord, and
the optic nerves.

What causes it?

We don't know.

Well, how do you get rid of it?

You don't.

It isn't curable.

Then I don't have it.

I can't even pronounce it.

Here's what I think.

The only thing that you know I got for
sure is insurance.

So you invented the big disease with the
big name so you could build my carrier

and keep me away from Sandra Day O
'Connor. You can't.

I waited too long.

You can't make me sick.

You and Kimberly?

Doesn't involve you, Max.

Kenny. Doesn't involve you, Max.

Look. I don't mean to pass judgment,
but... But what?

Come on, she's a beautiful girl, I know.
And what man wouldn't be tempted?

But to ruin a career because of maybe
too long of a dry spell?

You gotta think with your head.

If I wanted to jeopardize work for the
sake of some sex fun, I would have done

it with you.

Let's face it, Max, we've been wanting
to rip each other's clothes off for

years. And we both know how good it
would be, right?

Well, I've never thought about it.

Much?

Me neither.

We're not meant to be together, you and
me. But Kim, we get each other.

Are you in love with her?

Of course not. We haven't even had a
date yet.

Well, then why?

Why risk everything? I can talk to her.

You know what the biggest lie of all is,
Max?

Plenty of fishing to see, that one.

I'm 29 and I've never met anybody.

Kim, maybe she's a possible.

I don't know, but a possible's a
possible.

I'm lonely.

You know what that's like?

I've read about it.

People think I'm stupid to go for Kim.
So what? They think I'm stupid anyway.

Especially Jimmy.

So the choice is here to be stupid and
lonely?

Just be stupid.

Did you stop him?

What? Kenny, Matthew says you're
stooping.

Well, Matthew is lying again.

What's stooping?

You wouldn't tell me that part.

What's it mean?

Uh... Well, it's when two people

share the same library card.

What's the big deal about that?

Nothing. And that's Matthew always
making a big deal about nothing.

You like Kenny?

Yeah, I do.

Kenny like you?

I think so.

Then maybe you should be like boyfriend
and girlfriend.

She's 18 years old.

They just...

want today, Jimmy. I can't believe you
are condoning this.

You know what?

Kenny's right about one thing.

The big guarantee that sooner or later
everybody meets Mr. Right?

Not true.

Most people settle on Mr. Close after
they give up on Mr. Right.

Kenny is Mr. Right for Kimberly?

I'm not saying that they're made for
each other.

When I was 19,

I fell in love with this guy.

He was 26.

And my father did just what you're
doing. He said, forget it.

19? No way.

And I listened to him.

And now, here I am, nine years later,
wondering if I'll ever...

Loneliness.

Lives up to its horrible reputation,
Jimmy.

I hope you never know it.

There is no justice in this world.

No justice for Brian Latham.

He was railroaded into this conviction.

The Rome police decided that since he
was a drifter, he's not entitled to

rights.

It isn't fair.

Life should be fair.

It has to be fair.

Things are in pair.

Are you nuts?

You just decked the Chief Justice.

I want to leave this hospital.

You can leave tomorrow, after we finish
the tests.

Maybe even tonight.

But first, you should probably speak
with our house psychiatrist.

You're talking to giant posters?

I had them sent.

I have to prepare.

For my own education, they ever talk
back?

Look, stop making fun of me.

I'm sick of people making fun of me. I
made it to the Supreme Court, and I'm

going to be there.

Then you'll all have to stop laughing,
everybody.

If you have no objection, I'd like to
have you sedated, because I believe

a kook.

Excuse me, what are you telling this
patient?

Only that he's a little wacko, but I'm
sure he already knew. You've just been

diagnosed with a lesion on his brain.
You have the insensitivity to stand

Don't yell at me.

Volume has no effect. Who the hell do
you think you are?

Who am I?

I'm $2 .3 million a year. That's who I
am.

I make that much because I've got a very
busy practice, and I have taken time

out from that practice to treat a
patient who talks to cardboard judges,

his physician keeps interfering when she
should be back in Rome, Wisconsin,

tending to her veterinary practice.

Please have the decency to appreciate my
effort. Well, let me tell you

something, Mr. 2 .3 million. Is that
after taxes? I am a board -certified

general surgeon. I am qualified to work
here in your precious Chicago Hope

Hospital. I could work here. Do you know
why I don't? Our preference of patients

survive? No, I would like to be a real
doctor. I want to know my patients.

I don't want to be a specialist meat
cutter who does body work. I want to

my patients. Oh, I'm sure that brings in
profound joy. But bottom line, you

didn't know what this patient had. I
did.

Look, I don't know much about where you
people come from. What the hell gives?

He's punching out posters. You, I don't
know what you're acting out against.

But you're both very strange people.

You're very strange.

You only say this because I'm Jewish.

I'm Jewish?

Uh -huh. He says it because he's Jewish.

I can't give you another doctor. Jeffrey
Geiger has to cause more coronaries

than he fixes.

I've never met a more antagonistic
personality. What does that say about...

also have never met anybody with more
talent.

What is it with you people? You think
you're so special. This may not even be

the best hospital in Chicago, much less
the rest of the country.

More people go to that other... What's
its name? We've never mentioned the

one.

Please.

Look, Dr. Brock, you have a nice life in
Rome.

Family, kids.

Yeah.

Well -rounded life.

What's your point?

My point is that Dr. Geiger is a
specialist. His entire life is in this

hospital. While you're reading to your
children, he's perfecting his artificial

heart. While you're attending PTA
meetings, he's digging into a sixth

procedure of the day.

He doesn't have time to run for mayor of
his town.

I'm sure you would have made a great
mayor.

I have no doubt you're a wonderful
mother. I can see firsthand you're a

doctor. But you're not him.

It may make you angry that you're not
him.

Please have the sense not to let that
anger compromise your patient.

Do me a favor, Matthew.

Don't fill up Zach with a lot of crap.

This is hard enough on me already
without you adding to it.

If it's so tough, why are you doing it?

This is betrayal.

I came to pick up Kimberly.

She's not ready.

Won't you come in?

I'd love to.

I'd like to know why.

I don't have to explain myself to you,
consenting adult.

Well, how about you explain it to me?

Out of respect, you've been my second in
command.

Respect is a two -way thing.

Where is this coming from?

At what point did we stop being friends?
I mean, what the hell... We've never

been friends.

You've been a boss, I've been an
underling. You give orders, I take them.

that your idea of friendship?

What the hell is wrong with me dating
Kimberly?

That I'm older?

That I'm too grown up for her? We both
know that's a lie.

You of all people know that I'm not too
grown up for your daughter.

Maybe you're mad because what you really
prefer is that I'd be Zach's playmate,

son of a bitch.

Max told me about that little fit you
threw last year against Jill's father.

You went nuts because he didn't think
you were good enough for his daughter.

Well, who's judging who today?

This has nothing to do with how I feel
about you.

Don't lie to me.

You don't think I'm good enough for
Kimberly.

God forbid she should end up with a
village idiot.

Well, your daughter is going out on a
date with the office clown.

How does that make you feel, Jimmy?

Is that why we're going out?

For you to get back at my father?

No.

Yes, it is.

I think I'll take a rain check.

Kenny, I'm talking to her. This is my
house!

Call the cops.

If I wanted to upset your father, I
would have stayed on as deputy and

screwing up his cases.

See, that's it, Kenny. You feel like a
screw -up and you're mad at him for

making you feel that way, so dating his
daughter is payback.

Where the hell did you come up with
that?

Easy, I'm doing the same thing.

Look, I'm not saying that I'm not
attracted to you. I have been for a long

and maybe you with me, too, but... I
don't know.

Isn't it a little funny that we both
decide to act on it when we feel

Or isn't it a little strange that the
person making us both angry is my

He's never taken me seriously as
Wambaugh's assistant. He does treat me

child, so I try and act unchildlike with
one of his deputies.

And you, he's treating you like an idiot
at work. So you go seeking approval or

affection or whatever from his daughter.

This isn't about us.

This is about him.

We're both punching him.

Why?

I haven't done anything to either one of
you.

Daddy, you parent us to death. Life is
more about making you proud.

I swear, Daddy, trying to live up to
your... It's like living in a prison.

I want you to be disgusted with me. You
hear me?

If you were ashamed of me, it would be
such a relief. The pressure would be

I don't want to be perfect, damn it. I
hate that you're perfect. I just hate

Where you been, young man?

Library closed at 7 .30.

I had to wait for Cynthia Parks.

I'm stooping her.

Get some restraints. No, no restraints.

Would you shut up? What the hell is
going on here? What is going on is I

erratic patient who is agitated by a
devastating diagnosis delivered by this

despicable, contemptible, cardiothoracic
act. Hold it.

Already she knows? You know, this may be
a great hospital, but you people are no

better than anybody else. You ask me,
you people suck.

Yes, we do. Let's go, Jeffrey. Well, let
me tell you about her. Keep those

doctors out of here. All they care is
creating a big bill. What's wrong with

you? Didn't you hear? I'm sick in the
head. Oh, Doug. You want to create a big

bill. That's the problem. MS isn't the
end of the world.

Do you realize you may have had this
since you were in your 20s?

You said yourself, the gait, the
frequent need to urinate, that's been

for 50 years.

Well, I just thought big feet, small
bladder.

Well, the point is that it hasn't
progressed, and if it hasn't by now, I

think it's going to.

I know. Every time I trip a slower word,
I'm going to think it's because of a

lesion on my brain.

Oh, you're just the same as you've
always been.

We're going to give you medicine for
your heart.

The only difference between today and a
week ago is today you know.

Can I still go to the Supreme Court? Oh,
of course you can.

I have to go. I must.

Why?

Why the sudden quest to go to the
Supreme Court?

To make the world stop laughing at you?

This ridicule that you say you feel,
where is it? Because I don't see it.

You mean I just think it because I'm
sick in the head?

You know, when I first came here to this
hospital, I saw all the things that I

was missing out on.

And then when I misdiagnosed you, I just
hated Rome again.

And I suddenly felt inadequate, and
that's why with Geiger...

But I don't need to work in a big
Chicago hospital to prove that I'm a

doctor. And you don't need to go to the
Supreme Court to prove that you're a

great lawyer.

You're a very smart man. I know this.

Judge Bone knows it.

And you should know it, too.

Your husband doesn't.

He said to Kimberly, don't set your
standards by wombo. I heard him.

Well... Jimmy sometimes questions your
choices, but never your intelligence.

So why does Henry Bone always yell at me
to shut up?

Why does he always tell me to get out?

And why did they throw me out of the
temple last year?

Because you're exasperating.

Part of the fun of having you in the
room is trying to throw you out. But

believe me, I promise you, we're always
glad that you're in the room.

With every Douglas Wambaugh for the
frogman, Douglas Wambaugh for the

steamroller, we all smile inside.

You're a character.

So go to the Supreme Court and make
yourself proud if that's what you want.

But believe me, You have nothing to
prove to the rest of us.

Kimberly, I have never demanded you be
perfect.

Daddy, you ooze that demand every day.
It's with every look you give me. It's

your voice every time you open your
mouth.

Don't let you down. Don't let Daddy
down. Whatever you do, make sure he's

of you.

Well, I'm tired of that.

Maybe that's the reason I went to work
for Wamba.

Maybe that's what I'm doing with Kenny.
Maybe I want to disappoint you. I don't

know. But the thought of dating the man
that you like or going to college and

being successful to make you proud,
giving you all the credit, that's

to me.

I don't know what I'm hearing here.

And I don't know exactly what I'm
saying.

But when I fail, I feel it's me. It's my
doing. When I succeed, I feel it's your

doing because you brought me up to be
perfect. You demanded it.

Well, it's killing me, and it's going to
kill Matthew, and it's going to kill

Zach.

I don't know how you got this way, Mr.

Moral and Mr.

Righteous.

It's like you're living in a prison.

Why do you always have to be perfect?

Do you think we're going to love you
less if you're not?

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I
stand before you today with a lesion on

brain. A good lawyer can always adjust.

Checking out tonight?

We want to leave early on account of you
being such a horrible person.

That's my mission, to free up the beds.

Mr. Wambaugh, take your medication.

You'll be fine.

I was never sick.

Right. Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Hold this.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

I feel so well. It's off to Washington.

I heard the things you were saying to
me.

You're some doctor.

I mean that.

Thank you.

You need to summon that guy up.

Yeah.

Maybe one day I'll get to know my
patients.

I doubt that many of them would like
you.

Kenny has his job back if he wants it.

Good.

Kimberly, when I...

When I fell in love

with your mother, I was still married to
Lydia.

Your real mother. Well, your biological
mother. Anyway... Whatever

my problems with Lydia... I was
nonetheless guilty of infidelity.

And... There was a two -year -old

child involved.

You.

The day Lydia moved out...

She was standing in the doorway.

And I saw the way she looked at you.

And I saw the look on your face.

You knew.

After Lydia left, you said to me,
where's Mommy going?

I never got over that.

How could I cause Lydia so much pain?
How could I hurt my own two

-year -old child?

That day, I promised that I would
thereafter try to be perfect, to be

promised that I would never do anything
to cause that look

on my children's face.

Daddy, that was a long time ago. When
are you going to get over it?

When are you?
