All language subtitles for Doc (US) - 02x08 - He Loved You.FENIX.English.HI.C.orig.Addic7ed.com

Previously, on Doc.

I had a car accident,
lost a lot of my memory.

This is too hard.

- I'll retire the cape!
- I would settle for you

committing to a therapist.

I've been having memory seizures.

- She prescribed something?
- One milligram of Lorazepam.

- I need you to change it to 10.
- Is something wrong?

She screwed up a dosage yesterday.

- I can't even practice.
- For how long?

Joan's assigning me a new neurologist,

he'll be the one to assess.

This one's from Liz,
and she's definitely flirting!

We have surgery with
the vascular team for you.

I'm not doing it, Dr. Heller.

Not with Ruby gone.

(KETTLE WHISTLING)

(GENTLE JAZZ MUSIC)

(KISSES FINGERS)

Morning, my dear.

(PHONE RINGING)

(RUBY'S VOICE): You've reached
the home of Ruby and Dante.

Please leave a message after the tone.

(BEEP)

(WILL OVER MACHINE): Hey, Pops!
Just checking in.

I'm surprised you're not
watching Mom's soap operas,

but hoping maybe you're
getting out of it?

Anyway, I spoke to Bobby and Erica,

- and we were thinking...
- (SIGHS)

...maybe we all come up there
in a few weeks?

A little family reunion?
Everybody really misses ya.

Call when you can, okay, Pops?

- (DIAL TONE)
- Will...

(MACHINE WHIRRING, BEEPING)

There, in the medial prefrontal cortex,

- that's a new locus of activity.
- Huh.

And that's what's causing
my memory seizures?

It's certainly suggestive,

but real-time data will allow us

to correlate this area of brain
activity with your symptoms.

You understand that I need
to keep pursuing my memories.

I just want to stop the
seizures, and the side effects

- from the treatments.
- I do, Dr. Larsen.

Let's just be patient.

(GENTLE MUSIC)

Still looking for something to nail her.

Keep scrolling.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! That one.

What?

It's an email from Dr. Walker,
that's her shrink.

To a Dr. Marks. Our girl's just cc'd.

(INTRIGUING MUSIC)

Those are her memory recovery sessions.

This is gonna be fun!

We knew he'd be back here like this.

Yeah. He knew it too, I just
wish he had more fight in him.

Hey, Dante.

You're having a heart attack.

That's why you're in so much pain.

But we're starting meds to ease that.

I know you have a DNR and you
want comfort measures only.

I promise, we're going to make
this as painless as possible.

Who would you like us to call?

I have your, your son Will
and your daughter Erica

- as your emergency contacts now.
- Ungh.

Re-reunion.

Reunion?

Reunion.

Okay, what does that,
what does that mean?

(EXHALING LIGHTLY)

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Going home? That's a good sign!

Hospitals are lots of fun,
unless you're the patient.

Well, it's the doctor part
I want to talk about.

I got a new therapist,

and I'm on the books three times a week?

Plus, we're transitioning
Amy's care to Dr. Marks,

and I'm planning on spending
more time with my wife.

You're not in the hot seat, Gina.

Then why do I feel like
you just came back

from Max's office?

Dealing with other people's suffering

all day, everyday, can wear anyone down.

Even a superhero can
end up doing something

self-destructive, like
confronting a violent abuser

in their apartment.
That's what I told him.

So, compassion fatigue,

as opposed to me being
crazy and out of control.

I've known you for 24 years,

I believe it's an accurate diagnosis.

So, my plan sound okay?

Sounds fine.

In addition to a weekly debrief with me.

- Ooh, hoo.
- (PETER PANTING)

You look fairly miserable,
what's going on, buddy?

Spare me your feigned
compassion and just

- gimme some pills!
- Okay, for what?

Kidney stones, flank pain
started this morning

and it's coming in waves, yup!

Argh! I went out last night,
had a couple of pops.

- Mm-hmm.
- A bit dehydrated,

that's what brought it on.

I can hydrate, flush these out at home.

Just be a sport, write me some Vicodin.

Out of curiosity, have you run
a diagnostic urinalysis?

- No!
- Here you go.

I'm not wasting my time with this!

And I am not prescribing
a Schedule I narcotic

without a proper workup.

Just get Jake, he'll do it!

Dr. Heller's busy with a case,
and I'm sure he wouldn't do it.

I'm a doctor, I know my own body!

And right now, you're a patient.

So shut up,

and pee in the damn cup!

Hey, why aren't you in school?

A second semester senior
who already got into college!

(GIGGLING)

I figured you could use the company.

That's very sweet, but you
really don't need to worry.

Did I say I'm worried?
I'm just here to support you.

Are you gonna use one hertz or two?

Well, I find one hertz works
best for temporal interference

deep-brain stimulation.

And you can reach the medial
prefrontal cortex?

Easily. Most patients
experience only mild tingling

starting now.

(BREATHING DEEPLY)

- Notice anything?
- Nope.

(COMPUTER BEEP)

Now?

- Still nothing.
- (COMPUTER BEEPS)

Oh, yeah. That's, that's something.

Uh...

(TENSE MUSIC)

(EXHALES)

Danny!

- I saw Danny?
- I'm sorry, who's that?

Uh, he's, he's my son.

That's the first time I've seen him.

Interesting.

And, other things, too.

So, so many, all from
that missing period.

Well, we have confirmation,
then. The area that we saw

in the FMRI is definitely
active, and contributing

to your latest episodes.

(GROANING)

Are you alright?

Yeah, yeah. Uh, I just...

- Oh!
- Oh!

This is not what usually happens.

I'm shutting this down.

Yeah, uh, we, we can start
again in a minute.

No. We need to avoid
further stimulation.

Phenobarbital will calm the area.

And stop the memory recovery!

For now.

No, you, you don't understand. I, uh...

(SIGHS) I-I lost my son,

and, and these were new memories,

from the last year of his life.

- And I'm sure...
- Please, I can take the pain!

What did we say before?
About being patient?

Pill?

Uh...

(SIGHS SOFTLY)

Now!

(JAKE): Hey, is this Will?

Yes?

Hi, this is Dr. Heller
over at Westside Hospital.

Um, we have your father here.

Oh God, how bad is it?

He's having a heart attack,
and I'm sorry to say

the situation's dire.

I'll be on the next plane.

Listen, your father's heavily medicated

and he's barely verbal,

but he did say one thing to us.

What's that?

The word "reunion."

Um, that's all he could get out.

Yeah, I uh. I left a message
for him this morning.

Me and my sisters
are planning a family reunion.

I'm sure you know this, but..

he did refuse surgery a few months ago,

and he has a DNR, so I'm just
trying to figure out

if maybe he changed
his mind about things?

Is surgery even possible now?

I'm not sure, to be honest.

It was very risky then,
and the situation's

much more acute now, so...

Well, if there's any chance,
please. Just do what you can.

Rachel's here, she says it's urgent.

Uh, listen, I'm very sorry
about this, Will.

Just get here when you can,

and I'll stay in touch
about the options, okay?

Thanks, Doc.

(SIGHS)

Hey, is Mia okay?

She's fine. It's your dad.

Our home phone number

is still listed
on his healthcare proxy form.

He had a stroke on the golf course.

Uh, okay, well, um.
Where's he at, which hospital?

I didn't want you to hear
it from a random person

on the phone, so I came here.

I am so sorry, Jake.

He's gone.

(SOMBER MUSIC)

(TENSE MUSIC)

(LAUGHING)

(DRIPPING WATER ECHOES)

My dad's in town tonight.

Oh, that's okay. We can make
other plans for dinner.

Or he could just join us.

Um, yeah. It's been a while
since I met the parents!

Well, he lives in Arizona,
and I don't know when

he's gonna be back,
so I don't know, I just,

I thought it was time for him to,

you know, meet my boss.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)

You ready to go? I can drive.

I'm gonna stay here.

What do you mean?

I gotta take care of a patient.

Can't someone cover?

It's, it's important.
I'll, look, I'll be fine.

Do you want me to call the cemetery,

or I could ask Ally to do it.

No, no, my sister,
she can't, um... I'll handle it.

Um, and...

Can you not say anything to Mia?

I want to tell her myself.

- Of course.
- Yeah.

Is everything alright?

Yeah, but there's a, a family thing,

nothing to do about it now.
We need to get Dante

- to the cath lab.
- What for?

I spoke with his son Will,

he said his family's planning
a reunion for this summer,

so clearly, Dante wants to be
there for that.

Well, he was so medicated,
he was barely even conscious.

Let's get him into better shape,

- and we can find out for sure.
- He has a triple A.

Okay, radial artery approach,
we just bypass it.

This'll be his fifth surgery
in six years,

there's no way his body can take it,

and he told us a few months ago
that he didn't want it.

Obviously, things can change.

I love him too, Jake,
but you know it won't work,

we should just keep
him alive long enough

for his kids to get here
and say goodbye.

He could die, any minute,
one way or the other.

We're doctors,
this isn't palliative care.

- (CELLPHONE BUZZING)
- This is his daughter.

Oh, just, I...

Erica, can you just hold on one minute?

I think that we should
talk to Dr. Ridley.

No, no. I'm Chief Resident,
this is my patient.

I'm ordering the procedure,
so call Dr. Patel

and you tell him it's urgent.

He's the head of the department!

Yeah, I know who he is!

Just, see if he's available.

Erica, I, um...

This is Dr. Heller,
I already spoke with Will,

I'm not sure if he told you
what's going on.

Dad!

Katie! Is something wrong?

It's about Mom. She has a full
day of neuro tests,

and it's not going well, at all.

Okay, slow down,
tell me what's going on.

I don't know, but she came out
of the lab with a nosebleed.

Well, that can happen
with all the stimulation,

but Dr. Marks is excellent.

Trust me, she's in really good hands.

I don't want her to be alone today.

Will you come, please?

We're her only family.

Is watching me do this

everything you hoped it would be?

And then some!

Okay, you're done.

(EXHALES)

You alright?

I had a memory of Danny.

Just now? I, I thought
you took the medication.

No, this morning.

During the temporal interference.

It was his seventh birthday,

and I could see the cake,
and the candle,

- he was blowing it out.
- (TENDER MUSIC)

Whoa.

If I could just get back
that last year with him,

I mean, that's one of the things
that's been torturing me.

Yeah, of course.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Amy?

Yeah. I...

it's just a lot, right?

(AMY OVER RECORDING): I just
don't know how

I'm supposed to shake off Michael.

(KEYBOARD CLICKS)

So, this Michael guy is the
CMO and she was married to him,

and then after they divorced,
she started dating

a different doctor at Westside?

Dr. Heller, and she dated him twice!

Before and after her accident,
and she was his boss.

They must've kept it hidden.

This woman's a mess!

This is how we're gonna get her.

(CHUCKLES)

I've never seen left and right
medial prefrontal cortex

so reactive.

Is that new damage
from the TMS treatments?

Or her brain's trying to
regenerate circuitry on its own.

Causation is always elusive.

But the meds should be
shutting down the reactivity.

At this locus,

I need to finish full connection's

- brain mapping to know for sure.
- Well, one thing we know

for sure, she's on the road
to losing her ability

to practice medicine
if she keeps pushing

herself the way she was.

At some point, she might have to choose

- what's more important to her.
- (CELLPHONE BUZZING)

Oh, I gotta take this.

Hi, Dr. Rose. Yeah, thanks
for getting back to me, I...

Yeah, I, I have been
feeling a bit fatigued,

but my hand is steady, and I just...

want to make sure
it's okay for me to operate.

- Ungh!
- You rang?

I am looking for a reasonable
doctor who will give me

pain meds for the kidney stone
that I very obviously have!

Will you just prescribe me
a narcotic and let me go home?

His urinalysis shows no red cells.

Normal pH, no crystals,
stones, or bacteria.

Did you repeat the test?

Three times. All negative!

I tried to explain to him that
it could be negative

with an obstructing stone!

Sure, but then try a CT scan.
Have you discussed that?

Naturally!

You are getting the scan,

and you're gonna have to wait
like everybody else because

radiology's backed up today.

Thanks, Sonya.
Knew I could count on you!

(GROANS)

I'm having his body flown
in now from Arizona,

I want him in the plot
next to my mother.

No, I can, I can come in in the morning,

and pick out a casket.

Yeah.

Thanks, I'll call you back in a few.

His artery's open,
and there's reasonable flow.

Okay, great. And his troponins
are flat, so that's good.

Well, there's no muscle
damage, but Dr. Patel

still won't support a triple A.

What, did you talk to him about it?

He's the cardiologist.

Well, that was for me to advocate.

It's not a question of who advocates,

he doesn't believe Dante
will survive it,

and you'll never find a surgeon.

And I'm sure he felt
your opinion in there.

I didn't sway him, Jake!

I'm gonna ask you to step aside.

What is going on with you today?

Did you hear me? If you're
not part of the solution,

you're part of the problem.

(TENSE MUSIC)

(CLICKS PEN RAPIDLY)

(MACHINES BEEPING)

So, you owned a sporting goods store?

Yeah, I took it over from my father.

I would have passed it on
to Jake, but he had other plans!

You know, I think you're
the only Jewish dad in America

who's disappointed
that his son became a doctor!

If hospitals had jerseys,
I may have felt differently.

You had plenty of years
of me wearing jerseys, Dad.

What an athlete he was!

Three sports, captain of all of 'em.

- Oh!
- Nope, that's not true.

I was captain of baseball
and lacrosse, that's it!

- Batted 400 his senior year.
- No. That's also a lie, 398.

I'm rounding up!

(AMY): Yeah, let him bask in your glory!

He would've played in college, but uh,

then he got caught up with Rachel, so...

Dad.

Okay, okay.

He's never been a fan of my ex.

- Why not?
- Shh, shh, shh.

I can see the smoke
coming out of his ears.

That's not fair!

Fathers always think they know
best, let's just,

we'll leave it at that.

Ouch!

(CELLPHONE BUZZING, CHIMING)

It's the ER.

Ida Lincoln's back in with
congestive heart failure.

Levine's on call, she can handle it.

Yeah, but you know, Ida,
she's demanding and complicated.

It's better for everybody if I'm there.

But he's leaving in the morning!

I know, I know. Look, I'm sorry Dad,

I'll be back as soon as I can.

You don't go stealing
my girl now, you hear me?

We'll see!

(CHUCKLING)

Dante, can you hear me?

I spoke to Will,
he told me about your...

your family's plans for that reunion.

I feel like maybe that's what
you were trying to tell me?

That you want me to do
whatever I can to get you there.

(SOFT MUSIC)

If I'm right, I want you
to squeeze my hand.

Okay, that means surgery.

Very risky surgery, but you
wanna live, right, Dante?

His triple A's infrarenal,
it's not seven centimeters,

it's grown a centimeter and
a half in the past six months.

And you believe
that qualifies as operable?

I do, yeah.

That's why you're not a surgeon.

His aorta's gonna explode on the table.

Yeah, probably, but if it
doesn't, we get him years!

I'm not gonna be his
executioner, Dr. Heller!

His family will sign off
on this, if that's

- what you're worried about.
- I'm not worried.

Okay, I would think you'd
welcome the challenge, then.

Just make him comfortable,

give him all the time he has left.

(50S TV SHOW MUSIC)

- Do you know about Danny?
- Who? I don't...

I just heard on one of the
tapes that when Amy was married

to the CMO, they had
a seven-year-old son,

and he died on a school
field trip from heart issues.

So?

- Charlie, she lost a kid!
- Hannah, don't get mushy

- on me now!
- No, I'm just saying

the punishment should fit the crime!

The crime is that our dad is dead!

And we are a long way
from an eye for an eye.

Mapping visual cortex now.

I saw that one.

And that one, and that one.

You can indicate by just
raising your right index finger.

Okay.

Like, like that?

I saw your finger move,
no need to confirm.

(MACHINE HUMMING)

You okay, kiddo?

(TENSE MUSIC)

(DISTORTED BELLS RINGING)

(INAUDIBLE)

I'm seeing
increased brain activity here.

Are you experiencing anything?

No.

Headaches? Seizures?

Not at all. No.

(CELLPHONE BUZZING)

Dr. McLain, hey.
I-I was hoping I could...

You badgered everyone in the department,

and you came to me last.
Not a good start

- to a sales pitch!
- Come on, look.

He's fully recovered
from his cardiac event.

I already looked at the scan, Jake.

If Becky Coolidge is gonna turn
it down, you can count me out.

I swear, what is it you guys?
You're just

worried about protecting
your numbers, aren't you?

- I'd watch your mouth.
- Right. Yeah,

while, while you're killing
him with your cowardice!

(TENSE MUSIC)

You must be tired,
why don't you get some rest?

I, I didn't tell you this
before, but one of the things

I keep seeing, it keeps
overtaking my memories of Danny.

That man, in the Christmas market.

Now, I'm seeing him in a white coat.

He's a doctor. At Westside!

And he's arguing with me in my office.

When you were Chief?

Yeah, he had a, a mask
dangling around his neck,

so it must have been during Covid.

Do you have any idea who that could be?

Um, no, I mean,
I think you had conflicts

with a lot of people.

But these flashes are so
insistent and repetitive.

I know my brain is trying
to warn me about something.

I'm sorry, I just don't know.

- During Covid?
- Mmm.

I was living with Dad,
and we weren't talking much.

Oh.

You guys must be starving.

Why don't you go get something to eat?

I think I will lie down for a bit.

Everything's looking good
to go for the surgery,

we're just working on
lining up the surgeon now.

Thank you so much
for everybody you're doing.

Of course.

You know, my father speaks
so highly of you, it's just...

Are you sure this is
what he really wanted?

Because this is what Will
has been pushing for.

No, I completely understand,

but Will did not push
your father into this.

He wants to live.

For all of you.

(SIGHS)

(EXHALING DEEPLY)

Word around town is you've
been accosting surgeons

left and right!

I call it advocating for my patient.

And you fully dressed down McLain!

Yeah, well, all any of them

care about is just covering their asses.

I am disappointed in you, Dr. Heller.

You should have just come to me!

You'll do it?

Images are coming up now.

Great! Let me know when you see them.

Oh my God! Peter,
I just heard. Are you okay?

- (CLEARS THROAT)
- Yeah, I'm, I'm fine.

I just, it's just a kidney stone.

Oh, you poor thing!
Is there anything I can do?

Uh, not at the moment?

Um, can I hit you back later?

Sure, sorry! Um, text me, okay?

- Okay!
- Sorry!

(PETER BREATHING SHAKILY)

A little young, no?

- (PETER): She went after me, man!
- Sure, of course!

Peter, can't help crapping
where he eats!

14 hours a day, six days a week.

I guess this is where
everybody hooks up.

Speaking of, what's going on with Liz?

Hah, both kidneys and ureters
clear, no dilation.

Definitely not a kidney stone!

I'm just saying, she's not
gonna wait around forever!

Switching to bone windows.

And I think we've been over this, Sonya.

I know you guys are talking
about me in there!

And, but, it was a mistake,
okay? So much pressure

to perform, and she may not
look it, but she was wild!

I mean, like, up was down,
forward was backward!

Okay, can we just turn off his mic?

- (PETER LAUGHING)
- It was like

being on a rollercoaster
with no safety bar.

And of course, I couldn't have
her coming back to work saying

- I wasn't up to the task, so...
- Gladly.

Wait, wait, wait. Uh, Peter?

That all sounds really exciting,

but uh, did you say it's like
a marathon session?

Oh gosh, yeah! It must have
been like three hours,

I thought I was gonna pass out!

Testicular torsion!

Mmm, explains everything,

and a simple exam
will clinch the diagnosis.

Mmm, one of us has to go
in there and uh, handle them?

And if you're right,
this is gonna hurt like nothing

he's ever felt before, isn't it?

Oh yeah!

I'll spare you the trauma!

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(HIGH-PITCHED RINGING)

(DISTORTED MUSIC)

(TENSE MUSIC)

(LOUD CRASHING)

- Mom!
- Amy?

- Oh my God!
- Amy!

- What's happening to her?
- Amy.

She's still breathing, get a crash cart.

I mean, I lost my wife
at a young age, but uh, a child?

It is unimaginable.

And your marriage couldn't survive it.

No.

But I still have a daughter.

She's, um...

Well, she lives with her dad.

I screwed that up,

I haven't figured out how to fix it yet.

Will there be anything else for you two?

Hmm, we're practically
shutting the place down.

We'll just take the check, please.

Oh, your son already took care
of it on his way out.

- Oh!
- Right.

Thanks.

Sometimes he overdoes it. I mean,

you gotta let your old man pick
up a check when he's in town!

I'm sure he's just trying to thank you.

For everything you've done for him.

No, no, he's just always been
so damn self-sufficient.

Even at 14.

When his mother died?

Never missed a school assignment.

Got himself to all his practices.

Took care of his younger sister.

I put a roof over their heads
and food on the table, but...

I didn't really do the other
part of the job,

the "being there" part.

And so, by the time
he went off to school,

you know, sort of like that song,

"Cat's in the Cradle."

Well, I, I know how much he loves you.

Yeah, sure, but love's
the minimum, right?

End of the line,

you kind of hope
for something more, don'tcha?

(TENSE MUSIC)

You know where you are?

Westside Hospital.

And I am?

Dr. Marks. What, what happened?

You collapsed.
Do you remember any of it?

I was scrolling through
the physician directory.

Looking for that doctor?

I, I thought if he was still

- at Westside...
- I'm sorry, what doctor?

Someone that I keep
remembering, a doctor

who is angry at me, and I just,
I thought

if he was in the directory,

then I could match his face to,
to the image

that I have in my mind.

I've tested your phenobarb
level, it's at zero.

Which means you cheeked the pill!

So you could track this doctor?

No! I told you that I saw
my son, and that's,

that's why, it was for him.

But then I didn't get any more
memories of him,

I, I just keep seeing this man.

Well, the IV has meds in it now,

so the seizures will dissipate for sure.

But I need to figure out who he is!

The fact that you collapsed,

tells me that you could be
headed for cerebral edema,

hemorrhages, or even a stroke

if you continue with this
non-compliance!

- Are you hearing me?
- Mom!

Yes. Yes, I understand.

The loading dose will sustain
you for the rest of the day.

Going forward, you need to take
an oral dose daily.

I'll be checking your levels
to make sure you stay on track.

I will take it, I swear!

Enough is enough, kiddo.

(GENTLE MUSIC)

I know, I went too far.

No, it's not too far, Mom,
it's in the wrong direction!

You're looking backwards,
when you need to move forward!

I promise, I, I'll let it go.

(SIGHS)

(TEARFULLY): I know you can hear me.

Just want to thank you

for being the best dad
that a kid could ever want!

I'm here too, Dad,
with all of your grandkids!

And Will's on his way from St. Louis.

(ECG MACHINE BEEPING)

His BP's dropping, we gotta
get him to the OR now.

But Will isn't here yet.

I'm really sorry, we just
can't wait any longer.

Daddy, we love you!

We love you so much, Pops!

Wait, wait! Do you want
to write something?

Oh, get some paper.
We need paper and a pen.

- Here.
- Thank you.

Here, Daddy.

(BREATHING SHAKILY)

(SNIFFLING)

For Will?

Okay, okay!

(WATER SPLASHING)

Dr. Ridley's one of the best
surgeons in the country.

If this was my father,
this is who I'd want in there.

I'll come out and give you an update

as soon as I know anything...

I'm sorry I'm late, flight got delayed.

Can I see Dad now?

We waited as long as we could,
but he just went under.

Under what?

He's anesthetized.
The surgery's started.

(TENDER MUSIC)

No, no.

Hey. Dad knew you were coming,
Will. He wrote this for you.

He knew how much you
loved him, Will. He knew.

(WILL CRYING)

The urologist will take you

to the OR soon, to untwist you,
then you should be fine!

Don't give me that Pollyanna crap!

If the twist crimps off
the artery, it's all over.

Dead testicle. No sperm, no kids.

Kids?

Why not?

You don't seem the type!

Who the hell's the type?
Every man's gotta be a dad.

(JOAN): Optimal oxygenation.

(ECG MACHINE BEEPING)

Scalpel.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Hemodynamically stable.

Open.

Ready?

Moment of truth.

Yup.

Cooly clamp.

(MACHINES BEEPING)

(TENSE MUSIC)

Start the clock.

(SOMBER MUSIC)

I think even if he was down
to his last dollar,

he wouldn't want you
picking up the check.

I'm just trying to show
my appreciation for everything

he's done for me.

You should tell him that.

I think he knows.

He doesn't, Jake.

He kind of thinks he failed you.

- What?
- Just that, he wasn't

around enough when you were a kid.

And, ah, he really misses you.

Okay, well, he's the one
that moved to Arizona.

Yeah, Minnesota's cold!

True.

He wants to spend more time with you.

Talk more.

He mentioned that song,
"Cat's in the Cradle."

"When you comin' home, son?
I don't know when.

We'll get together then, Dad."

So, just don't wait for "then," Jake.

(SOMBER MUSIC CONTINUES)

(GASPING)

Please tell me you have good news.

- The surgery went well.
- (SIGHS OF RELIEF)

It was extremely complicated,

his aorta, it was like tissue
paper, but Dr. Ridley stitched

it together masterfully.

- (EXHALING)
- Incredible!

Can I see him now?

He hasn't woken up yet.

But, but he will, right?

The operation required more
anesthesia than we had planned,

so he is slowly regaining consciousness.

And we're not gonna know for
sure that he's out of the woods

until he does wake up.

So, he, he might not wake up at all?

That's correct.

Okay, when will we know?

Two to three hours.

Well, Casanova, surgery was a success.

Yeah, looks like some
unlucky kid'll be calling

- you Daddy someday!
- Peter Junior, baby! Let's go!

- (LAUGHTER)
- Peter, thank God!

I was so worried!

Oh! Oh, okay, okay! Uh...

Okay, then! We'll leave you two alone.

(INAUDIBLE)

(LAUGHING)

Is it me, or was that just too much fun?

No, no, no, that was as good as it gets!

(LAUGHING)

Hey!

If the hospital gossip's true,
I want to hear everything!

Yeah, it doesn't get much
better than that,

but I think I'm still bound by HIPAA.

Ah damn! (LAUGHING)

Listen, I've been
wanting to talk to you.

Here I am.

I like you, Liz.

You are beautiful, smart,

and you seem like the kind of
woman any guy in his right mind

would want to go out with.

Just not you.

Let's just say
a workplace relationship can

really twist things up.

And I would hate for things
to get weird between us.

So...

friends?

Yeah, friends. Of course.

Cool.

(MEDICAL MACHINES BEEPING)

Hey.

How's he doing?

Um, well, no change since the OR.

There's still time.

Fingers and toes crossed.

Well, whatever happens,
whether he makes it or not,

thank you. You were a rockstar in there.

And you gave him a shot.

Who is he to you?

A father.

Those kids want more time with him.

(SIGHS)

(GENTLE PIANO MUSIC)

I'm still here!

You're still here.

And you're gonna be here
for a while now.

Reunion!

Hey.

(GASPS)

I love you, Pops!

I love you so much.

(ELEVATOR DINGS)

So, you pulled it off.

Uh, yeah, well,

I think I had some help from
the man upstairs on this one.

The man?

Look, um. About earlier, I'm sorry.

I think things just got
a little personal.

No, but...

if there is something going on,

you know I'm here, right?

Yeah, yeah. Of course.

Thank you.

(GENTLE MUSIC)

You gotta hear this!

Got something good?

(TAPS KEYBOARD)

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

(TAPS KEYBOARD)

(CHUCKLES)

You realize we can blow up all
of her relationships with this?

(INTRIGUING MUSIC)

She barely touched her food.

I think this is all too much for her.

That's how this day started.

She came to me because
she was overwhelmed.

She shouldn't have to worry
about taking care of her mother.

Especially not after everything
she's been through.

Yeah, she's had to grow up fast.

But sometimes she thinks
she can handle too much.

Maybe she needs to go home
with you, just for a bit.

But the last thing I want
is for her to feel like

- I'm pushing her away, I...
- She's 18,

and pretty damn smart.

Why don't we just talk
to her about it honestly,

and let her decide?

Yeah, that'd be great.

(INHALES DEEPLY)

Thank you, Michael.

I'll go get her.

(SOFT PIANO MUSIC)

So, it means you're gone

and we won't be able to see him again.

Not ever?

No.

Not ever, but...

We try and keep him in our hearts.

That we can do for as long as we live,

and then it's kind of like
they're still here with us,

but they're just inside of us.

Hello?

Hey, it's uh, Jake.

I know. Caller ID.

Oh yeah. Um... (SNIFFLES)

I heard you had a rough day today.

Intense. But I'm okay.

I saw Katie and Michael there with you?

Yeah, Katie kind of dragged him into it.

She was worried.

And then I had some memories of Danny.

Wow, wow, was it, was that,
was that the first time?

Yeah.

Well, I could see why
you'd wanna chase those.

Yeah, the whole thing kind of
freaked Katie out,

so she went back to Michael's for a bit.

I'm sorry, that must be really tough.

(INHALES SHAKILY)

Are you okay? You sound...

I don't know.

(TENDER MUSIC)

Um...

My dad died this morning.

Oh! I'm so sorry, Jake.

Yeah. Yeah, it was a stroke.
He wasn't even sick.

I don't suppose I ever met him?

Uh, you did, yeah. Once.

Oh. I wish I could remember that.

We, uh, we all went out
to dinner one time,

and I guess he kind of opened up to you,

'cause you told me
there were some things

I needed to tell him.

And did you?

Uh, no.

Nope, um, and that was
the last time I saw him.

Just, I always thought
I had more time, you know?

Yeah, we always do.

Till we don't.

(EXHALES DEEPLY)

I really missed you today.

I miss you every day.

Do you think you could be there,

at the, at the funeral?

Of course!

You know, even though he only
met you that one time,

my dad, he, he really loved you.

Well, if he's anything like his son,

I'm sure I loved him.
