All language subtitles for Watson.S02E01.1080p.x265-ELiTE

I am not bragging.

It says "legendary"
right there in the recipe.

You wrote the recipe, mom.

I inherited the recipe.

"Legendary" came with it.

You can't... Tell me to
make them and then...

Deny me my own adjective.

I won't deny you your adjective.

Fair enough.

I can come by tomorrow.

Mom?

Are you there?

Are you with me, mom?

Mom?

Sorry... I los... I lost my place.

Mom?

I'm o... I'm okay.

Mom?

What's happening?

Are you there?

Mom.

Mom!

Thank you for coming, Dr. Bynum.

Thank you... For inviting me, Dr. Watson.

Okay, we've... Been dating
for, what, two months now?

Give or take.

And you have seen
me all the way naked.

Like, all the way.

When are we gonna stop
calling each other "doctor"?

I don't know. How about
when it stops being fun?

Okay.

This is quite the surprise.

You're supposed to be
on your way to monte Carlo.

I sent my regrets.

You're the keynote speaker
for a genetics conference.

And they have 300
geneticists headed their way.

- They'll be all right.
- Ditching

a conference last minute?

Is this like you?

I think it's like me right now.

It might be the babysitter.

I'm not going anywhere.

Actually, it's not mine.

Mary?

John, thank god.

It's my mother.

Watson, everything okay?

I'm on my way to uhop, Dr. Lubbock.

All hands on deck.

You up?

Watson needs us.

I'll get my car.

Fell asleep on these.

Don't let it happen again.

Mom?

Mom.

Mom, what happened?

Patient collapsed while baking.

- Elizabeth morstan. Is that...?
- Mary's mother, yes.

She's tachypneic with
acute altered mental status.

Is she having a stroke?

There's no facial droop.

Extremity exam is normal.

Did your brother get to the house yet?

The paramedics let
themselves in with a hidden key.

It's, in one of their pockets,
but the door's locked.

Tell him to kick it down.

The three imaginary planes

for dividing the human body are?

Sagittal, coronal, and transverse.

Yes. And excuse me, Doreen.

Sure.

Evening, Dr. Croft.

I need to kick through a door, shinwell.

Great.

So, is it a metal door?

Wooden door?

Particle board? I need particulars.

Is the patient your mother-in-law?

Ex-mother-in-law.

Is she experiencing memory loss?

No.

I don't think so.

There are notes everywhere.

How to start the car.

How to lock the door.

Her respiratory distress
is worsening, John.

We need something now.

- Any cognitive changes?
- No.

She can teach class tomorrow.

What was she baking?

- Nana's legendary tea cakes.
- Nana's legendary tea cakes.

The recipe lists a secret ingredient.

One teaspoon only. Don't duplicate.

Those are almond cakes.

Look for a small glass bottle.

- Probably no label.
- I see it.

Okay, smell it. Don't taste it.

Just smell it.

Almonds.

Bitter almond extract.

Very good, Sasha. And why can't

we buy bitter almond extract in stores?

Because it can contain a
deadly amount of cyanide.

Cyanide poisoning.

The patient's been making
her own bitter almond extract.

She needs the antidote.

Five grams of hydroxocobalamin.

Prepare that in a second dose
in case we need to repeat it.

Mom?

Hi, honey.

Thank god. You had us so worried.

Hi.

He saved you.

John, I was just telling
mom you saved her life.

Thank you, young man.

It's my pleasure.

Elizabeth, I want to talk
to you about some notes

that we found in your home.

There were some instructions
on how to start your car.

A-Are you one of my doctors?

I'm just helping out. But
I'm interested, of course.

Wh-what do they call you?

Excuse me?

I raised my daughter to
respect doctors, young man.

We're not on a first-name basis just yet.

So you don't know who I am?

I don't. Unless I'm
missing something, you...

You and I never met before.

Morning, shinwell.

- Morning, guv.
- Morning, Dr. Lubbock.

Good morning.

- Watson.
- Morning, Dr. Croft.

- Hey, Watson.
- Dr. Croft.

New scientist want to interview you.

Certain questions about cloning.

Tell them I send my regrets.

Passing that along. Once again.

Dr. Ishikata of Tokyo university, yeah...

we like him... he reached out

regarding a possible collaboration.

Okay. Well, tell him I send my regrets.

So is that the official policy
of the Holmes clinic then?

"Dr. Watson sends his regrets."

You feeling gun-shy, perchance?

I mean, after all the business

- with moriarty.
- We've got patients, shinwell,

and I got three brilliant
doctors down there

- waiting to treat them.
- Yeah.

Formerly four brilliant young doctors.

But... Your point is well taken.

Mary.

A month ago, Elizabeth
morstan was fine.

Two weeks ago, she
couldn't even recognize me.

Where'd you find this?

Got it from your house, Elizabeth.

It's been there for years.

I would know my own
son-in-law if I saw him.

She's already

experiencing what most
doctors would consider

moderate to severe dementia.

This feels so good.

You're so beautiful.

A-Are you one of my doctors?

And as of this morning,

the patient couldn't even
recognize her own daughter.

This process should have taken years.

Are we sure it didn't?

Cognitive decline sneaks up on people.

Mary visits her mother two times a week.

So you're talking the
medical director of uhop

just not noticing?

I don't see it.

We can give you our best assessment.

But that's really a
question for a neurologist.

If only we had one of those handy.

You can't keep me around here forever.

I'm too young for all this.

That's... I'm sorry,

can you just remind me again, Elizabeth,

how old are you?

I'm 25.

Too young to be... Hanging
around all these doctors.

Why?

How old do I look?

It's not a lie.

It's not a delusion.

It's... a confabulation.

Elizabeth morstan can't remember things

past a certain point in her life.

She explains that to
herself by concluding

that's how old she must be.

A 72-year-old woman believes she's 25.

Explain how that happens.

Symptoms are typically associated

with korsakoff syndrome.

It's unlikely. She's a non-drinker.

I know we could use a neurologist.

That's why I have
empowered the three of you

- to help me find one.
- We've recommended four candidates.

You've rejected them all.

Why don't you just tell
us what you're looking for?

I'm looking for a world-class neurologist.

No.

You're looking for an interesting subject.

Please explain this.

You tend to see the world
as an experiment in genetics.

Stephens and I, we were
interesting because we're twins.

Sasha was adopted from rural China

into a privileged suburb of Dallas.

And Ingrid was an actual
question of good or evil.

How are we supposed to top that?

I never asked you to top it.

No, you just reject every
candidate we send you.

You know the three of us now.

You need fresh meat.
So why don't you tell us

what mystery you're looking to solve

and we'll tell you who to hire.

- Guv.
- Could use your help.

I need a fresh perspective, shinwell.

From a first-year nursing student?

Go with the twins and
examine the patient.

There's been a recent change in her gait.

I want to revisit lewy body dementia.

Sasha, help me reorganize
everything that we got

from Elizabeth's house.

There's something... We're not seeing.

And... I'm not done with
you three yet, by the way.

Yes, you have proven
yourselves to be doctors,

true, but... You're still full of mysteries.

What's mine?

Help me find me a
neurologist and I'll tell you.

- Oof.
- Couple of lovely laps.

- All right, keep going.
- Okay.

- You're doing great.
- All right.

Go on.

Hold on to her compact, lads.

She thinks she's 25.

How's she gonna feel if
she gets a look at things?

Good.

Anastasia Petrov.

Neuro residency at Mayo
and fellowship at Sloan.

What's her mystery?

Looks like she might have one
brown eye and one blue one.

Isolated heterochromia?

I can hear Watson yawning already.

Madeleine Weaver.

She played basketball for penn.

One of the links on her
résumé says she's six-foot-eight.

A six-eight neurologist? That could work.

What do you make of
Watson the country doctor?

We treat patients from all over the world.

But he shut down the
lab three months ago.

He's not publishing.

Turns down every Grant.

I'm sure he's still hurting
after moriarty almost killed us.

Give him time, Stephens.

We have given him time.

Watson's been good to us.

But, you know, without the research,

we're just doctors in the rust belt.

I didn't sign up to
work at a regional clinic.

How long have you been up?

Two hours?

Just get a better perspective
when everyone is asleep.

What do you want?

It's not a "you and me" question.

We're too new for that.

It's a you question.

I've never heard you say

"I want this" or "I need this."

I've only ever seen
you give yourself away.

I can go first, if that helps.

Okay.

I want my son to thrive.

I want my patients to live.

And I want one of them to...

Think about me later and remember

someone cared about them
when they were up against it.

I want my life to mean something.

And... I want to have
the best sex I've ever had

to keep from worrying that it doesn't.

So, that's me.

Laila bynum.

How about you?

I'm sorry. It's Mary.

Her mother's had a change.

Saved by the buzz.

You owe me a statement of purpose.

Listen, I know this is a lot, all right?

But I was with Mary for a long time.

I can handle all of that.

I just want to know what you want.

How are you this morning, Elizabeth?

I'm fabulous. I'm glowing.

That's good. That's good to hear.

But I heard you're
refusing your medication.

And that's not good. We
need to keep you healthy.

You don't want to fill me with chemicals.

You might hurt the baby.

Didn't anyone tell you?

I'm having a baby.

What do you think? I made a list.

- Girls and boys.
- I see.

It's...

She's talking about me, John.

I don't have any siblings.

I know.

My mother thinks
she's pregnant with me.

Look at these.

Take a look.

This right here is your
mother's typical handwriting.

This is what she wrote this morning.

See the difference?

See the looping and the shaking?

This is motor dysfunction.

It's new.

I'm gonna order a kinematic analysis

to evaluate the changes.

Why? You think that
can change anything?

I think it can change everything.

Now, it's only a theory.

But if I'm right,

your mother doesn't have Alzheimer's,

lewy body dementia, or any
other nightmare diagnosis.

If I am right, this is reversible.

I can bring her back.

We have to get Elizabeth
morstan onto the unos list.

- She needs a new liver.
- What?

If I'm right, she doesn't have
a neurodegenerative disorder.

Elizabeth has covert
hepatic encephalopathy

due to undiagnosed cirrhosis of the liver.

We missed it.

Liver tests can come out normal

in the earliest stages of h.E.

- Cirrhosis.
- Isn't Elizabeth a non-drinker?

She is. But she also has a
history of type 2 diabetes.

Elizabeth's at risk for developing

nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

That's how she got cirrhosis.

If she has cirrhosis.

No, this is a good thing, Mary.

We can reverse her dementia.

First we'll confirm cirrhosis with a biopsy.

But then all we have to do is
treat your mother with lactulose

and rifaximin until she gets a new organ.

It was an intense fellowship.

Lots of late nights, lots of
dissecting human brains.

Lost a fiancé to the whole
deal, if I'm being honest.

But would do it again in a heartbeat.

Is there anything else I can tell you?

I do have one question, actually.

How tall are you?

Five-eight.

Is that relevant?

- Not at all.
- Not really.

It's just one of the links in your résumé

says "six-eight."

It's a typo.

Five-eight's a great height.

A perfect height. My own height.

Thank you so much for
coming in today, maddy.

Dr. Watson should have an
opening in his schedule soon.

Please reach out if he does.

Bye now.

- She's perfect. You don't have to be...
- She's boring.

Six-foot-eight to be
interesting, Stephens.

To Watson you do.

Set up the interview if you
like. He'll just turn her down.

Watson said we're all full of mysteries.

What did he mean by that?

Does it matter?

Well, I like to know I'm being evaluated.

Does he just want to know if
you and me are gonna make it?

Is that interesting?

I mean, it is to me.

But, like, on a... Cosmic scale.

- What?
- No, don't look.

It's her.

I don't want to have a conversation.

Stephens.

Adam.

And Sasha.

Good to see you all.

Hey, Ingrid.

You're here.

At... at uhop.

Just an appointment.

Don't worry.

I heard you took a job in Portland.

Agh came in with a competitive offer.

Got my sister set up
here, so... we stayed.

I read your book.

You did?

Thought it was well done.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

You look good.

Thanks.

Well, tell Watson I say hi.

Absolutely.

Is it me or is she in
suspiciously good form?

"Suspicious" being the operative word.

- Are these vitamins?
- Yes.

Let me help you.

They will help you stay healthy.

There you go.

Just have a couple more left here.

Do... Do I know you?

You-you come by every
day, but... Feels like...

Much more than that.

Yes, my name is John Watson.

Does that... Mean anything to you?

Well, you... Take good
care of me and miles.

Come by every day.

So I guess that's...
That all I need to know.

So you think you're having a boy?

Call it a mother's intuition.

How long has your stomach
been swollen like that?

For some time.

Mind if I take a look?

Sure.

Isn't he beautiful?

Your mother contracted
a urinary tract infection.

Now, she's responding to the antibiotics,

but her liver function's taken a hit.

The swelling in her abdomen
is from worsening ascites.

Mary, she can't wait anymore.

She's in acute liver failure.

We need to do a transplant right away.

She's still number four on the unos list.

That could be days.

It could be weeks.

- How long does she have?
- I don't know.

But if we wait too long, she could be

too unstable for the operation.

Use me.

I want to be a living donor.

Take a piece of my liver and
make a directed donation to mom.

It's my liver, John.

It regenerates. We're family.

There's less chance
she'll reject the tissue.

Okay, you need to understand every...

you say this can bring
her all the way back, right?

We have to do this.

It's her only option.

Okay.

First we have to be sure

that you're a candidate
to make that donation.

If everything lines up, then...

We'll do it as soon as we can.

But like you say, this is her only option.

When's the last time
you finished a movie?

Now, listen, it's just not fun for me.

I get hung up on diagnosing
all these crazy-ass actors.

- Have you seen some of these...
- seriously. They say I can't do it.

I just talked to the surgeons.

They say I'm a borderline candidate.

They won't let me donate
because they're worried

my liver isn't big enough to handle it.

Can you give us a second, please?

Sure.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Look, don't be sorry.

Just... do your thing.

You push boundaries.

This is what you do. Find me someone.

Find a surgeon who's
willing to harvest the tissue.

Can I see your workup?

I know how that looks, but I
am a borderline candidate,

not a nonviable one.

- I can't do it.
- I see.

When it's something you
want, you'll go to any risk.

- When it's for someone else...
- no, listen,

I agree with Dr. Rao's findings.

Okay? The risks to you, it's just...

They're just too high.

If you donate,

you're at risk for liver failure yourself.

And we can't lose both of you.

I can't lose both of you.

Then she's gonna die, John.

My mother's gonna die.

John?

You recognize me?

How long have I been like this?

You've been sick for a while now.

You're having trouble with your memory.

Mary and I, and all of
the other doctors here,

we're working to get you better.

I... I don't think that's going to happen.

Where's Mary? I want...
I want to say goodbye.

No, no. We are not there yet.

But Mary is here working.
Let me get her for you.

I want to see miles.

You don't have a son, Elizabeth.

It's just Mary.

I guess I-I don't.

Mary. Your mother wants to talk to you.

She knows where she is.

She's having a moment of clarity.

This isn't necessarily what you think.

Terminal lucidity.

This is what happens to dementia
patients right before they die.

Yeah, but her condition
isn't neurodegenerative.

We don't know why it happens, John.

You're right.

But we also don't know how long it lasts.

Hi, mom.

Do we know each other?

I'm someone who cares about you.

Can we sit together?

He'll be here soon.

Personally? I don't see it.

Ingrid's not really a "face
value" kind of person.

I say she's lying about why she's here.

She did have a visitor badge.

I mean, it's not like she makes up stuff

a hundred percent of the time.

May I make a suggestion?

I think we'd all do well to
remember that few of us

were without sin last year.

I betrayed Watson.

Dr. Croft had a relapse.

It was a fraught time,
plenty of blame for all comers.

Did Ingrid do wrong?

Yeah. Yeah.

But she also came forward with
the truth when it mattered most.

She admitted the worst
thing she's ever done

in front of a room full of people.

She also answered the question

that Dr. Watson was
most concerned with.

Ingrid's brilliant, right?

Question is: Is she brilliant like Holmes,

or is she brilliant like moriarty?

Well, I'd say we know that now.

I'd say we know that for certain.

But for all that, it was
Ingrid that lost her spot.

She's the only one that paid a
real price for what happened.

Now, has she bothered
us in the months since?

No.

She tried to turn the
situation to her advantage?

No.

Dr. Derian's fine.

She's just fine.

I say we leave her be
and focus on our work.

Of course you know about this place.

Why am I not surprised, shinwell?

Well, I do keep an eye on you, guv.

But I try not to bug
you when you're here.

A man needs a place to think.

Is that what I'm doing?

Elizabeth morstan keeps a file

about a chain of bakeries
called "the pastry mill."

I can't figure out why she'd do that.

Should I tell the fellows
you'll be along shortly, then?

The morning meetings.

You know, I love 'em
but sometimes I hate 'em.

You know? I got a room full of

the smartest people I can find, all just...

Looking at me.

Waiting for direction.

Sounds like a good way to go mad.

Myself, I think I'd retreat
to my own personal...

Whatever this place is,
and never come back.

No, this is... This is the old lobby.

When I was a kid, I used to run
through here, go see my doctor.

Tell them I'll have
direction for them soon.

John. Look, mate.

I'm not sure that I've
thanked you properly.

- For keeping me on.
- No, you've thanked me.

Comprehensively.

- Daily.
- But not properly, though.

I'm not sure that I even can.

It's a third chance. That's
what you've extended to me.

I'm not sure why, but I am grateful.

The world needs what
you have to give, shinwell.

Look, I know you don't
believe that yet. And look,

maybe you never will.

But you're kind.

In spite of where you came from,

in spite of what you did...
You're kind, and you care.

Yeah, of course, I mean, it
would have been easy for me

just to let you go.

But this place needs that.

Your patients need that.

And you owe them everything
that's good inside you.

Don't ever forget that.

Not when you're tired.

Not when you're sad, or in a bad mood.

Not ever.

That's your penance.

Yeah.

Thanks, guv.

And you're also not
allowed to say that anymore.

All right.

Miles.

- Beg your pardon, guv?
- Tell the fellows that

I will give them some
direction this afternoon.

But I gotta go.

I have places to be, John.
What are we doing here?

1983 was a really good year.

You know, "sucker mc's" came out.

Sunday in the park with George.

Only you would connect run
dmc with Stephen sondheim.

1983 was also the
year that you were born.

Mary Elizabeth morstan.

You were an only child.

Your mother was 29 when she had you.

But in her confabulations, she's 25

and about to have her first baby.

Mom has dementia, she's
not going to be consistent.

Elizabeth, she's building a reality

out of what's left in her memory.

And yes, she is in and out of believing

that she's pregnant, but every time

she does think that,
Elizabeth believes it's 1979,

and that she's 25.

Where is this going?

You might want to take a sip first.

I'm good, thanks.

Well, I have been doing some research.

I called in a favor from an old
homicide detective that I know,

- looked at some records.
- John, what is it?

I think that your parents got pregnant

before they were married.

I believe she had a baby in 1979.

What?

You've got a sibling, Mary.

When they got pregnant,

Elizabeth and your father,
they had to make a choice.

They knew they couldn't
be parents yet, so they

gave their child up for adoption.

I know this is a lot.

But if I'm right, there's
another potential match

for your mother.

Another candidate to
make a directed donation.

No, she would have told me.

Your parents, they made a promise.

They found a loving home for their child,

and they didn't interfere.

Meanwhile, your brother grew up,

succeeded, and started
a loving family of his own.

I've got two chocolats au
guémon, all warmed up.

Thank you. Excuse me.

Your name wouldn't be miles mcclung,

by any chance, would it?

It is. Do I know you?

Not yet. But I'd like to introduce you

to Mary morstan.

And if I'm right... She's your sister.

- What?
- What?

Are we being scammed?

Do you believe any of this?

I was married to John Watson for years.

Whatever this is, it's not a scam.

Are you adopted?

Do you happen to
have wide thumbnails?

Like maybe you got teased for it?

Me, too.

Can you crinkle up your
tongue to make it look like

a four-leaf clover?

Now how did you guess that?

Because I can do it, too.

Those are genetic traits.
We have them in common.

Look, I'm not saying John is right.

But I've also learned
not to bet against him.

Even if this is true, what
am I supposed to do?

Donate my liver to a stranger?

I-I'm not asking you to do that.

I had no idea why I was
even coming here today.

You're telling me my biological mother

is in the hospital.

That she'll die without
a directed donation.

You might not be
making a specific request,

but you're out here asking.

She is dying.

My mother is dying.

Wouldn't you do
everything you could to help?

Even if it meant asking
a stranger for something

you have no right to expect?

I would.

I'm married.

I got two daughters and a son.

This procedure, you're talking about

cutting out part of my liver.

There have to be risks.

There are.

The liver regenerates, but still,

something could happen to you
while you're under anesthesia.

Even if things go
perfectly, your quality of life

could be impacted.

All of that for a woman I've never met.

If you were me, wouldn't
you put your family first?

The family you know.

I would.

I will pray for your
mother. But I can't help.

My mom's been mentioning you.

I know she wasn't in your life,

but she knows about this place.

She knows your name.

If you have time, if you're willing...

I'm sure she'd love a visit.

I'm sorry.

I lashed out.

I can read my own workup.

I know I'm not a candidate
for a living donation.

You dug up a brother I didn't
even know was out there.

You did everything you could have.

You did everything anybody could have.

I started seeing
someone not too long ago.

I know.

I'm a detective.

All this with mom...

I was on the way to our
fifth date when it all started.

Annie said she wanted to stick in.

But she just kind of drifted away.

I haven't heard from her in two weeks.

When things go bad in a real way...

That's when you learn
who has that stubborn streak

inside them.

That's when you learn who's really there.

Thank you, John.

Your mother's worth it.

She is.

Excuse me?

I don't know your mother.

I mean, I called my parents,

they confirmed everything that you said.

She gave birth to me.

But I don't know who she is.

If she's asking for me... If she's dying...

I'd like to sit with her.

I'd like to say a prayer if that's okay.

Of course.

Good morning, young
man. How's your world?

Surviving and thriving. The usual?

You know it.

Good morning, young man.

How's your world?

Scratching and surviving.

Good morning, young man.

How's your world?

Surviving and thriving. The usual?

Yeah.

She came every day.

Your mother, she came
to see me every morning.

Six months in, I was
going to close the bakery.

She talked me out of it.

Told me to keep going.

She came every single day.

Mom?

Hi. Hi, honey.

You... you look tired.

A little bit.

Hi.

Sorry to interrupt.

M-Miles? What are you doing here?

You've been sick, mom.

He helped you.

Miles saved your life.

Come in. Join us.

Actually, I'm not alone, if that's okay.

Come on, baby.

Come meet your aunty Mary.

There you go.

And this beautiful
woman is your grandma.

Look at you. My goodness.

You made these? For me?

Thank you. Thank you, thank you.

Here you go.

Two options to be the next neurologist.

I think we found the
only candidate who's ever

going to make you happy.

If you don't find what
you're looking for in there,

I'm not sure we can help you.

Because I'm not sure you know.

I look forward to reviewing the files.

Actually, Watson, what's my mystery?

You still just looking to track
an adopted gal from the south?

I think I know who
you are by now, Sasha.

I mean, you've shown us all.

What is it, then?

You really want me to tell you?

I do, too.

Your mystery is the same as mine.

It's the same as everyone's.

So what's going to happen to you next?

What are you going to do when it does?

And who are you going
to be when it's over?

Something's different about you now.

I let some things go.

Are you doing okay?

I feel like nobody ever asks you that.

- Doing just great.
- Yeah.

I-I can see that.

- All right, good night, Watson.
- Good night.

I'm not ready for this.

I just...

Not today, okay?

This... this is uncomfortable.

It's uncomfortable because
this is where the work is.

We've been building towards this,

and I promise you: You're ready.

Ingrid, for the first time in
your life, you are surrounded

by people like you...

And you still haven't said it out loud.

You came here for a reason.

You want something.

Tell me what it is.

I want my life to stop blowing up.

That's it.

That's all.

Okay, well, you want
to control your behavior.

That is an important first step.

But you have to name it.

I'm Ingrid.

Ingrid derian.

I have antisocial personality disorder.

I'm ready.

To answer your question.

I'm ready to say what I want.

I've been chasing something
for as long as I can remember.

A place where I can
stand and no one can ever

question if my life mattered or...

If I made good choices.

I want something amazing
for myself, you know?

I got it.

I used every neuron
in my brain, and I got it.

But all of that came with a cost.

Love.

I gave up love.

I took it for granted, and I lost it.

Here, I have a chance
to live my life differently.

Sherlock?

My dear Watson.
