[narrator] Previously on Hard Rock Medical.

As you know, our first year cohorts have been

rolling up their sleeves for the last four months.

Clear!

[singing]

Embedded in pairs in a variety of challenging placements...

This place is nuts!

Welcome to your first full moon rodeo, honey.

I'm Cameron, this is Gina. We're med students.

How about I watch her until things warm up.

I dragged my wife down with me.

I think I might be able to help you out.

Are you having an affair?

You know what, get out of here!

Okay! Enough!

No double life, no affair.

I'm contributing this piece.

It's by Simmons.

-Put that down! -We're just fixing a tire.

I'm not going to say it again, chug.

Where is Dr. Healy?

I'd give up all my years of doctoring

if I could go back and have that one moment

to help Liam that day.

To adopt her two young beautiful boys.

-What did you say? -I'll take the kids.

My cancer's cured!

[opening theme music]

Have we met?

No, I don't think so.

Was there supposed to be two of you guys today?

The other guy, Charlie, he um...

had some family stuff to tend to.

I guess I'll have to file that in my report.

Seriously?

Hey man, I don't make the rules.

Better get in.

So, who'd like to begin?

I know what started all of this...

Go ahead.

Last term I was doing rotations at a prison farm.

Uh, there was this prisoner named Pete.

He was constipated...

Anyways, I figure I'd help out the guy, you know?

Uhuh?

-I mean, with his wife. -Right.

It was their wedding anniversary.

Anyways, their trailer had a grease fire,

-she needed clothes and stuff. -Okay...

And their dog needed an operation.

Charlie!

That is not it.

-It's not? -No!

-Is it the goat? -Oh my God!

Wow, that looks impressive.

It was very kind of Jason to offer it up for auction.

Uhuh. I like it.

The artist depicted the truth.

The roots are as important as what's above ground.

See, I know that, because Julie and I took that art history

course at the college, and we were telling you to take-

Oh my God!

Lazarus has risen from the dead!

-That bad, huh? -No! You look good!

Oh, and Dr. Healy, you smell even better-

Well, I'm preferring the sweet Italian cologne

over the hard Irish whiskey these days.

-Louise? -Yeah?

Do you mind if Fraser and I have a moment?

Sure.

-I'm so glad you're back. -Thank you.

[reflective music]

We should get this for them.

Yeah.

-[rings doorbell] -Hey, isn't this your dad?

-Yeah. -Wow.

That's a really generous thing he's doing.

And all the proceeds are going to the school.

Believe me, it's not generosity.

He's gonna get a huge tax write-off for it.

[guitar music]

It's not that black and white, Melanie.

Mylo is considered competent at her age.

She knows and understands

the risks and benefits of taking her medication.

She's choosing not to take them.

But without chemo, she...

Okay, then. Why don't we just bring in

Child Protective Services?

-Oh my God, Mel. -What?

'60s Scoop? Residential School?

Fine.

But we all know that if she goes back on chemo

she has a 95 percent chance of recovery.

And if she doesn't...

It's a delicate situation.

But you cannot force someone

to do something they don't want to do.

Even if it's for the good of their own health.

Sometimes it's better to have less thunder in the mouth

and more lightning in the hand.

We do the blood test, and let science be the judge.

Okay.

So you are 160 over 95.

Is it that high?

Are you anxious?

I- I need my pills.

-I need my pills. -Okay.

Okay. What pills have you not taken today?

I take- just what my husband, gives me, Roscoe.

Where is my husband? I- I need my pills.

See, I- I need my pills.

Okay, okay, I'm sure he'll be back soon.

I- I- I'll tell you a little secret about him.

He- He has two pieces of pie.

One at dinner, and then he comes down

in the middle of the night and has another one.

With whipped cream.

I'm sorry, I don't have your pills.

I know him!

I know him, he likes to hide them on me!

The stupid old fool!

[pills rattling around in drawers]

Oh my god, look at this...

She's on Coumadin,

Hydrochlorathiazide,

Digoxin...

Atorvastatin?

I mean, these should all be in blister packs.

I don't know how she's keeping track of all this stuff.

Ray.

I'm an alcoholic, okay? I always will be.

But I'm telling ya, I have beat those demons

and it's time for me to come back to work.

I needed time,

I just went to visit my brother for a little while.

Oh, you went to see your brother?

I thought he died when you were kids.

He did, yeah, he did!

So I visited him in spirit.

You want me to risk you falling off the horse again?

Wagon. It's wagon, you mean.

I mean, I'm sick of you pissing in my Cheerios.

It's corn- Yeah okay.

It's not only your neck on the line.

I already covered for you, with the board.

You did that for me?

[snorts] Don't flatter yourself.

I did it for them, for the program.

You gotta give me the chance, Ray, please.

Come on, I've worked way too hard to throw all this away.

-So have I. -I know.

Come on.

[sighs loudly]

[reflective music]

Come back.

And be the doctor you were trained to be.

Yeah, I can, I can.

And don't mess up.

[reflective music]

[door opening and closing]

You were gone forever!

Ah, we're out of bread and eggs...

Oh, did you get lost again?

Oh, and who are these folks?

Hi, Mr. McDougall...

Um, we're both med students.

-I'm Gina, and this is Cameron. -Oh, hi.

Hi, nice to meet you.

We're just following up.

-What about my pills? -Oh, boy.

[tense music]

[breathing heavily]

These aren't the damn pills!

You said you were gonna get the pills!

Where are they?

Ah listen, I gave you one this morning

and you get the next one at dinner.

Right now, you have to take your blood pressure pill--

Oh, screw you!

You bastard!

I know you hid them on me.

Where are they?

No, no, no, no...

[soft tense music]

[soft tense music]

Don't worry, I'm still here.

I'm so sorry, Erica, for not being able to spend more time.

I've just been on rotation in North Bay

-and with the 12-hour shifts-- -You're here now.

I have everything in place for the boys.

I've talked to a few neighbors

and we're gonna carpool for hockey.

I've requested some close to home rotations, so I...

-I won't... be... -Shh...

What?

There's been a change of plans.

What do you mean?

Nick, my ex-husband.

He heard about my condition, so...

He'll be taking the boys.

-Why? Wh-what do you mean? -Oh, Farida...

You're gonna be a wonderful doctor someday.

I don't want anything to get in the way of that.

[melancholic music]

Apple?

Um, no, it's okay. I got my own.

Jesus! Get those out of here!

-What? -The peanuts! Now!

Now!

No nuts allowed in the car!

You trying to kill me?

How am I supposed to know you're allergic?

It's a universal rule, you don't bring peanuts to school or work.

And you want to be a doctor.

Here we go.

[police siren]

Hey!

Hey!

Drop the hockey stick! Now!

Now!

Will you have a look at that?

Sergio...

Hey mate, let me take a look.

I need my pills... I need my pills.

How's it going in there?

Got it.

Hey, Lorazepam.

-Lorazepam? -Yes.

Come on.

Give me the damn pills!

Mrs. McDougall, can you please just give us a second?

I'm thirsty.

-Okay. -I'm thirsty, I need...

Okay, I'll get you some water.

Oh, thank you.

Oh, you have such nice eyes...

You're such a cutie. [laughs]

Don't let this one get away.

Thank you very much.

[reflective music]

Why are we doing this, anyway?

We're just checking on your progress

since you stopped your treatment.

I'm feeling way better.

I'm not throwing up, I have energy.

Look, my skin even stopped cracking.

Uhuh.

If only my hair would grow back.

You'll get there, sweetheart.

Yeah, we're all cleaned up.

Put your finger on that.

Do I still need this picc line?

Why don't you just leave it in a bit longer.

Just 'til you're in the clear.

This isn't a trick, right?

No trick.

I saw what I saw.

And I'm going to get better. You'll see.

Honey why don't you take that energy and...

go and clean your room.

I will have these sent to the lab.

The oncologist will analyze them.

And we'll schedule a follow-up appointment.

-Okay. -I'll see myself out.

Thank you, Dr. Cardinal.

[sighs]

Did you want to talk about the baby?

I actually asked one of the doctors the other day,

and they feel that Tara-

Um, well, she's struggling

with some type of postpartum depression,

which is very common with women that have had miscarriages.

That is not the problem!

I am not the problem, you are the problem.

How's that?

You were supposed to sell your Harley to help us out

and what did you do?

You took out a loan for a hundred thousand dollars

so you wouldn't have to sell your motorcycle.

That's not- that's not true.

I wasn't trying to keep the Harley,

I was just trying to help out some people

who had fallen on hard times.

Apparently you can be everything to everybody else out there,

and you're more concerned about other people

than you are about your own family.

I-

I'll- I'll be right back.

Looks like you go the short end of the stick in this game.

I'm married to his ex-wife and he's a sore loser.

He should accept defeat like a man.

Yeah, I remember that series in '03,

where Darby Potts was hacking away at Farraw.

Man, you schooled that meathead.

Yeah, I gave Farraw the room he needed.

He went on the score like 15 goals, and you guys won the Cup.

You don't wear your Cup ring?

Nah, went through a nasty divorce.

Had to pawn it.

You had to pawn it 'cause of that jerk over there?

Not exactly.

Yeah, well if he stole my wife...

Hey, he was the instigator here, right?

Yeah...

Whoa, wait.

Maybe I overreacted a little bit.

I got this.

So upon further review, I've come to the conclusion

that you both shake hands and just be on your way.

What? This maniac ran me off the road

and tried to take my head off with a hockey stick!

With all due respect, you were sleeping with his wife.

They're divorced!

She's my wife!

Okay, that's just uh... pedantics...

Semantics! She's my wife!

If you'd rather, I'll have you arrested and charged

and you can spend some time in a real penalty box

with some guys who make him look like Tinkerbell.

-No offense. -None taken.

Now shake, and be on your way.

[slow music]

-So, we good here? -Yeah, of course.

Hey, can I get an autograph for my nephew?

Yeah sure.

I got a pen in the car.

It is such a breath of fresh air to see her in such good spirits.

You know that Mylo didn't have a vision

or a conversation with Kokoomus, right?

She was likely hallucinating from the steroids.

How is it that you have no faith in our medicine?

I do have faith.

But I also have the facts now.

I'm just being a realist.

Yes, you're so very good at that.

All I'm saying is this could just be a honeymoon phase

and she's probably experiencing a bit of a bounce right now.

And all I'm saying is that for the last couple of days

she's been acting like a normal teenager.

You really have a great way of ruining my day.

I'm sorry, Bonnie,

I just don't want you to have any false hope.

False hope?

My child has cancer.

All I have is hope.

But you wouldn't understand that because you're a realist.

Hey, I think we're running a bit behind.

Maybe we should get back to the clinic?

Yeah.

[reflective music]

This isn't gonna work if you walk out of counseling.

There's nothing to work out, Charlie.

I'm not gonna wait another two years

for your to get your act together

while the bank comes and takes away our house.

Just let me explain, Tara.

I don't want to hear any more of your song and dance, okay?

I have all the records and the t-shirt.

The farewell tour is officially over.

What do you mean?

I think you should move out.

[slow music]

It's a small town.

I'm gonna hear about it sooner or later,

so I might as well hear about it from the horse's mouth.

It's a long story.

It's a beautiful day.

Back in the day, Bonnie and her husband Gordie

were part of our band.

Then an A&R guy

from a big record label approached us

and said he wanted to sign Kyle and I.

-Oh, just the two of you? -Yeah.

-Why? -Because they didn't think

Bonnie and Gordie were strong enough or marketable enough.

-Hey, Eva! -Hey, Rich.

You got my test results yet?

Not yet. When I do, you'll be the first to know.

So what happened?

Well, it didn't go over well,

so we went our separate ways.

Kyle and I went on the road, and Bonnie and Gordie stayed here.

-So Gordie's Mylo's father? -Yep.

Is he around?

No, he- he died.

Do you mind if we skip this stroll down memory lane?

Yeah, sure.

So, in Canada, hockey players get a free pass.

Watch your mouth.

Sergio does a lot of community work.

The kids love him, he doesn't need bad press.

He just whacked a guy in the head with a hockey stick.

I get that's okay on the ice,

but on the side of the open road--

Hey, Sergio's one of the good guys.

And he stepped up and made something of himself,

-like you're trying to do. -Like me?

Right. Instead of waving your eagle feathers

and banging your tom-toms,

complaining about what society owes you,

you know you're actually putting your nose to the grindstone

and trying to become a doctor, right?

Waving my eagle feathers...

Exactly.

Now you're getting it.

[slow music]

She's gotta get off the pills.

The problem is the withdrawal from Lorazepam

is like trying to come off heroin.

-Yeah. -Right.

Are you sure you don't want some tea?

No. Thank you, we're fine.

Mr. McDougall, Helen needs to come off of Lorazepam.

That's okay, I found a new hiding place.

No, Mr. McDougall, she needs help.

The type of help that you can't provide her right now.

We've been married for 62 years...

As long as I can tend to her needs, we're staying put

until- 'til they take us out in a box.

You don't understand.

Helen is addicted.

She's no different than a drug addict right now.

What-

What are you saying?

That she needs to go to rehab so we can wean her off the drugs.

But not a rehab facility,

we don't want her in with the crack addicts.

We need to get her admitted to a hospital.

They won't admit her to a hospital,

they'll just send her to a rehab center and she won't get a bed.

Unless...

she's suicidal.

Then we need to get her admitted to a psych ward.

That way her meds will be adjusted.

-Yeah. -Psych?

Mr. McDougall, um,

the emergency won't give her a bed,

but the psych ward will,

as long as we tell them what they want to hear.

That way she's properly cared for.

She- she can be such a sweet little angel,

then she turns into this person I don't even know.

I was just trying to help her.

We know.

[gentle music]

We need your permission to move forward.

[gentle music]

Okay.

Yeah, hi. We need an ambulance to 279 Pinter Street, please.

We have an elderly woman here who is... suicidal.

[reflective song]
