We just got your aid addition
ready. [ Indistinct ]
You wanna take a look?

All right.

[ Chattering ]

His handiwork, I assume.

Mahatma Gallagher.

He mentioned something
about Shintoism.

Celebration of nature's
spirits and ancestors.

Nice touch.

So, what's his story
anyway?
What do you mean?

Divorced? Attached?
Fugitive from the law?
C.I.A. mole?

He's currently unattached.
Severe commitment disorder.

Exercise junkie.
Peter Pan syndrome.

Not that I've paid
much attention.

He has a seriously
smokin' body.

Not that I've noticed.

Hey, guys.
Beautiful day, isn't it?

So, are you ready
for some patient-doctor bonding?

Well, we're ready for rounds.
We usually begin in Six North.

Great.
Then I'll be outside--

And the director
usually accompanies us
on the rounds.

Gotcha.

It's sort of a wait and see
situation. I'm going to give
you this prescription--

Doctor,
I need a little help.
Talk to me, gorgeous.

Ranier, Melissa.
Third trimester.
Here visiting relatives.

She was alone, shopping at the
Grove, when she just started
having contractions and fainted.

Just took her B.P.
She's slightly hypertensive.
Okay, thank you.

You busy later?
Mm-hmm. But I'm pretty sure
you're not.

[ Snickers ]
Ouch.

Melissa.

I'm Dr. Moore.
How you doin'?

I started
getting contractions.

And then I got
so light-headed.

I'm only seven months,

and I'm so scared.

I-- Is my baby okay?

Well, let's take a look.

[ Carl ]
Where are the patients?

[ Veronica ]
Uh, what's going on?

[ Veronica ] Relay races?
Is this supposed to take
the place of morning rounds?

Of course not.
Rounds are good.

Uh, actually,
Veronica,

instigating
a morning fitness regime
is not a bad idea.

Exercise has been
shown to elevate brain-derived
neurotrophic factors.

Right. But this is more
than encouraging the patients
to work out.

This is a trust exercise.

Trusting other patients?

No.
Trusting their doctors.

The three-legged race
is up next.

Wait. W-We're--
You mean, we're supposed to--

[ Veronica ]
You can't be serious!

Uh, actually,
it looks like fun.

Unfortunately,
my back--

I'm in heels.

Guys, whether
these patients are here
on a 72-hour hold...

or they've committed
themselves voluntarily,

they've all put
their well-being
in our hands.

If they don't believe
that you're willing to get
down and dirty with them,

how can you expect them
to confide in you?

And, people,
this is not a suggestion.

This is going to be
a little cold,
and I'm sorry.

It's okay. I've done
this a million times.

[ Click, Beep ]

[ Electronic
Ultrasound Noises ]

[ Exhales, Shudders ]

[ Groans ]
[ Click, Beep ]

I'm going to get you something
to stop those contractions,
okay? Back in a flash.

[ Whistle Blows ]

[ Man ]
Ready?
[ Patients Shouting ]

On your mark... set--
[ Whistle Blows ]

[ Cheering, Whooping ]
[ Applause ]

[ Woman Laughing ]

[ Laughing ]

Races, huh?

That's cool.
[ Chuckles ]
Yeah.

I called you.
I need you at the E.R.
for a psych consult.

Really?
Yeah.

Absolutely.
Let's go.

So what's up?

The patient informed us
she was seven months along.

She fainted
when contractions started.

She has hormone levels
that are raised
and cervical softening.

Then why are you asking
for a psych consult?
Call an OB-GYN.

Take a look
at the ultrasound.

What's wrong
with this picture?

I don't get it.
I can't even see a baby.

[ Whistle Blows ]
There is no baby.

[ Typing ]

[ Dings ]

- It's hysterical pregnancy.
- Is she still in the E.R.?

- I ordered some blood work.
- Why?

Just to buy some time.

I read about this in med school,
but I never thought I would
actually see it firsthand.

- She actually looks pregnant?
- Not just looks.

She has all the classic
symptoms, right down to hormonal
levels, water retention.

- The mind speaks,
the body answers.
- Yeah, but for seven months?

- Is there a husband?
- She's wearing a ring.

[ Arturo ]
What should we do with her?

I told her there was no room
in Maternity. I wasn't sure how
far to push at the intake.

We should go easy on her.
Something tells me we shouldn't
burst her bubble just yet.

Let's get her to the psych ward.
Is there any other business?

Want to grab some
breakfast? I'm buying.

Thanks. I have
a budget meeting.

Try not to, uh, piss anybody
important off today.

Really good-- Oh!
Hey, baby cakes.

Oh! [ Chuckles ]
Hey, Denny. Uh, Maria.

Um, what's going on?

What's goin' on?
It's Thursday.

I have a standing engagement
at the hospital, remember?

Yeah, but, uh, you told me
you had a studio gig today.
Yeah, I blew it off.

You know, I'd much rather play
for the kids here, and--

What's the matter?

What about those producers
you said were really hot?

Those guys are all the same.
They're all part of
the same corporate machine.

They make a ton of promises,
and they never deliver.

So, what?
You want me to go?

No.

I just-- I just question
your priorities, that's all.

Hey, if you think
I'm being irresponsible,
just say so.

Hey, Denny.
Hey, we'll set you up
outside.

I called down
to Pediatrics to let them
know you're here.

Great.
Thanks, Malcolm.
[ Phone Ringing ]

I gotta go.
[ Beep ]

You gonna come by later
and hear me play?
Yeah, if I can.

Melissa.

So I understand
you're from out of town.
Yes.

Florence, Arizona.

And we're here visiting
my husband's family.

How long
have you been married?

It'll be two years
this spring.

Is this
your first pregnancy?

Yes.

And, uh, have you--

have you picked out
a name?

Sean.
Oh, that's nice.

Tell me, Melissa, have you
experienced any other discomfort
during your pregnancy?

Morning sickness?
Spotting?

No. Actually,
everything has been pretty easy,
up until this trip.

Were you working
when you got pregnant?

Yes. I was waitressing
when I met Richard.

We, uh, started dating.

Went on this whirlwind trip
around Europe.

We got married
at the Hotel Cipriani.

That's in Venice.
Yes.

It's a beautiful hotel.
Isn't it?

And, well, a month later--

[ Chuckles ]

We both wanted
a big family.

I come from one.
Richard's an only child.

Is Richard on his way here?
Yes.

They called him from the E.R.
and left him a message.
He'll be here soon.

[ Phone Ringing ]
[ Beep ]

Becky?
Can you hold on a minute?

Excuse me.

- Sure.
- I'll be back very soon.

Becky, hold on a minute.
The reception is no good inside.

Do you have any children?

[ Laughs ] Ohh--
Oh, well, I'm-- I'm--

My husband and I have
talked about it, of course.

And, uh, even though
the clock is ticking,
and it's ticking,

there just never seemed
to be the perfect time.

Is he a doctor too?

No.
Uh, he's a musician.

Oh, wow.
How wonderful.

What does he play?
Uh, the piano.
Jazz piano.

And he composes too.

Must be amazing
to have talent like that.

I wish I did.

We've been playing Beethoven
and Bach sonatas for the baby.

Oh, that's nice.

So, Melissa, uh,
do you have the name
of your OB-GYN at home,

so we can get in contact
with him or her?

Um, actually,
it's Richard, my husband.

Okay.

* He's got the whole world
in his hands *

* He's got the whole wide world
in his hands *

* He's got the whole world
in his hands *
** [ Singing Along ]

* He's got the whole world
in his hands *
[ Jack ] Becky.

Thanks for not hanging up.
I'm outside in the garden area.
It's really nice.

[ Rebecca Sighs ]

There's jasmine here, Beck.
Loads of it.

It's a bit like
the Isle of Wight.
You remember?

You said you loved the smell
and you never wanted to leave.

[ Rebecca Sighs ]

Rebecca, you know,
I was thinking, um,

it'd be really nice
if you could stop by.

We could--
[ Line Clicks ]

[ Beep ]
* He's got the whole world
in his hands *

* He's got the whole world
in his hands *

* He's got you and me, brother
in his hands *

* He's got you and me, brother
in his hands *

* He's got you and me, brother
in his hands *

* He's got the whole world

* He's got the whole world *

* In his hands *

** [ Ends ]

[ Children Cheering ]
All right!

It's the perfect alibi.
I know.

What is?

Having your husband
as your OB-GYN.

That's assuming
the husband actually exists.

It could be
just another delusion.

Well, we'll know
soon enough.

Dr. Delusion
is on his way over here.

It's just so sad, believing
you're about to give birth
when you're not.

It's also
incredible.

Cessation
of a menstrual cycle,
abdominal enlargement,

breast enlargement,
quickening, gallactorrhea,

cervical softening,
uterine enlargement.

Yeah, but how is it possible
that the abdominal enlargement
is so massive?

Excess bowel gas,
uterine distention,
uh, bladder retention.

Could be a lot of things.
She's not going to be able
to keep this up much longer.

Help! Help!

My water just broke!

- Hey, Melissa.
Feeling better?
- Yes, thank you.

I told you already,
I'm looking for my wife.
Richard!

Richard!
Melissa?

Oh, Richard.
Oh, thank God you're here!

I'm so sorry.
Are you okay?
Yes.

Uh, she's, uh, fine now,
Mr. Ranier.

- I'm Doctor Hayden-Jones.
This is my--
- It's Dr. Ranier.

- Who's in charge here?
- Jack Gallagher.

You the idiot who put my wife
in the psych ward? What the hell
is wrong with you people?

I want her transferred.

I need an SMA20, CBC, beta-hCG
and abdominal ultrasound, stat.

Why are you just standing there?
My wife is 7 months pregnant.
This baby could be in distress.

Have you all
lost your minds?

I need to speak to
the hospital administrator.

Now.

Good idea.
I'll call her.

Stay with them.

Are you okay?
Yes.

Yes?
You feel all right?
I'm so glad you're here.

You look so beautiful.

[ Laughs ]
No way.

This guy's legit.

Dr. Richard Ranier.
Licensed physician with
an impeccable reputation.

I suppose it's possible
he never examined his own wife.

She told me she'd been
under his care exclusively.

She's allegedly
had regular checkups.
She's even had an amnio.

And we're absolutely sure
that she's not pregnant?

Yes, Carl, we're sure.

How could he
have lied to her
for seven months?

- He probably kept her
pretty isolated.
- So now what?

- Well, he's not going to let us
hold his wife without a fight.
- So don't fight it.

In a couple of months, they'll
figure out the whole thing
without our interference.

It's not interference, Carl.
It's called treatment.

Just let 'em go.
[ Jack ] Nice, Carl.

Let her give birth,
raise the kid,
send it off to college,

- and sit back and wait for
the imaginary grandkids?
- [ Phone Ringing ]

Oh, he's screaming his head off
and asking for you again.

Well, might as well
face the music.

It's pure folly
to keep this farce alive.

You're a genius, Carl.
Pure folly.
That's exactly what it is.

Follow my lead.

I'll follow you
anywhere.

Because that very
important person you weren't
supposed to piss off today--

that would be me.

I am so sorry for
all the confusion,
Dr. Ranier.

I'm Nora Skoff,
Departmental Administrator.

We, of course, welcome
all visiting physicians
to Wharton Memorial,

and I promise you will
receive the full measure
of our professional courtesy.

The maternity ward,
unfortunately, remains full.

Are those her tests?

The, uh, fetus does
not appear to be in distress,

and, um, I can assure you
that the birth is not imminent--
there's been no dilation.

Uh... well, the blood work
can't be right.

Melissa said
that you did an ultrasound?

Yeah.
Thank you.

Whoever did this ultrasound
is a moron. The image
is so blurred, it's useless.

I personally did an ultrasound
on Melissa just days ago.

Uh, I have it--
Here it is.

Okay.

There you go.

Sweetheart, I'm so sorry
I couldn't get here earlier.

It's okay.
I'm fine.

The baby's fine.
I just--

I lost control of my bladder,
and I thought that
my water had broken.

It happens.

Sweetheart, there's
no reason to be ashamed.

Come here.

It's a good thing that
your water didn't break.

It's too soon.

The baby is protected,

and there's no chance
for infection.

Sean is healthy and happy.

What you need now is rest.

I'll make the arrangements
to take you home.

Be right back.

[ Exhales ]
Well, my wife
has had quite a scare.

But I know her well and she's
ready to travel, so if you'll
give me the release forms--

Actually, we'd like to
keep her overnight,
just as a precaution.

No. No, I've already put up
with gross incompetence
on behalf of this hospital.

- That ultrasound was--
- Shoddy.
You're absolutely right.

We'll schedule another one
tomorrow morning.

And there are liability issues.
I'm sure you can
understand, Doctor.

Fine. Fine. I'll do
the ultrasound myself.

Today.

Excuse me.

May I?

I'd rather you didn't.
I'm expecting a call
any minute.

Oh, I don't mind.
[ Phone Ringing ]

Hey, honey. I'm just
taking a quick lunch break.

How'd the opening go?

That's great.

I miss you too.
Is it snowing there?

Perfect. The weather's
always perfect here,
but it's not New York.

[ Straw Squeaking ]
I know.
I can't wait.

I gotta go too.
I'll call you later.

Love you.
[ Beep ]

Long-distance romance.
Doomed to failure.

Unless--

Unless what?

You have a lot of meaningless
but hot sex with skilled, but
emotionally detached partners.

I am available.

Arturo, seriously,
what do you think
is going to happen here?

Seriously? I think
that you're going to come to
your senses and realize that--

Do you honestly believe
that you're the personal panacea
to my lesbianism?

That I'm suddenly going to
realize I'm straight
and want to jump on top of you?

Yeah.
One night.

It's all it will take.
Maybe two.
I can work with you on that.

Stand up.

Stand up.

Drop your pants.

I want to see it.

Show me what I'm missing.
Rock my world.

Not that I'm shy, honey,

and God knows I have
no reason to be, but...

that would be
highly unprofessional.

Exactly.

Unprofessional.

Like you coming on to me
at every opportunity.

[ Electronic
Ultrasound Noise ]

There!

There's the head.
[ Ultrasound:
Heart Beating ]

Oh.

[ Ultrasound: Heart
Continues Beating ]

It's beautiful.

Melissa, look. Look.

There's a hand.

Healthy heartbeat.

Healthy fetus.

Okay. Get dressed.
We're leaving.

I'm sorry, Doctor,
but I can't allow your wife
to leave just yet.

You don't have
that authority.
I absolutely do.

- We're leaving.
- No, you're not.

Melissa is my wife, okay?
You don't tell me what to do!

Melissa is your wife,
but this is my ward.

I say when a patient
is discharged.

Right.

[ Veronica ]
Security!

Will he live?

Probably. But he's never going
to play the trumpet again.

[ Chuckles ]

Glad you guys are enjoying this.
He did say he wouldn't leave
without a fight.

You're fine.
Later, slugger.

Doctor, uh, that thing
you asked me about earlier--

The thing--

Oh, no, I--
I'll find you.

Security is holding him.
He's claiming self-defense.

[ Laughs ]
Yeah, right.

And just so as we're clear,
if he hadn't sucker-punched me
I could have taken him easy.

- Jack, you can press charges.
- No, no, no, no, no. Come on.

Guy's got enough problems.
[ Arturo ]
You're right.

"Folie à Deux."
Translation from the French:
Folly for two.

"A rare, shared
psychotic disorder...

when an otherwise healthy
person, the secondary partner--"
Melissa.

"Begins believing the delusions
of someone with whom they have
a close relationship,

"the primary partner--
Richard.

who is already suffering
from a psychotic disorder
with prominent delusions."

So Melissa believed
she was pregnant, and he came
to believe it as well?

Other way around.
Richard's the primary.

He convinced her she was
pregnant.

He was her doctor,
so she had no reason
to question him.

Took the bait. Wham, bam!
She's got a bun in the oven.

If Richard's
the dominant partner,

then Melissa's delusion
is more fragile.

Easier to convince her
that the baby's not there.

With Richard, it's going
to be a lot more tricky.

But what put this in motion?
Melissa couldn't get pregnant,
so he just invented it?

That is exactly
the right question.

Why don't you grab Chloe
and do some digging?

[ Door Closes ]

[ Woman On P.A. ]
Any teaching nurse,

please call Nurses' Station
Three West.

I can't keep doing this.

I can't keep being with you,
then going home to Denny.
You know that.

If you say so.
No, wait.

I really mean it
this time.

It's over.

[ Phone Ringing ]

You don't believe me,
do you?

[ Phone Beeps ]

No.

[ Clears Throat ]

[ Exhales ]
Christ.

Dr. Ranier quit his practice
in Phoenix seven months ago,

presumably when he found out
his wife was pregnant.

He told everyone that he wanted
to spend every moment with
Melissa until she gave birth...

to insure the health
of their child.

According to Phoenix General,

the ultrasound Richard gave you
is not two days old,
but almost two years old.

So this ultrasound?
It's not hers.

Melissa told me and Veronica
this was her first child.

She also said she got pregnant
a month after her honeymoon,
which was almost two years ago.

Looks like we have some
more digging to do.
Goody, goody.

[ Elevator Bell Dings ]

All right, try to
stretch out your legs
a little bit.

Hey, Wendy.
How are you doing?

Do you think you might
be able to put your head
underwater today?

[ Typing ]

Oh, I--
Oh, no, I don't think so.

Well, that's okay.
That's okay.

You can always
try again tomorrow.

- Veronica.
- Hey!

Ultrasound
taken two years ago?
Definitely hers.

She has a child?
It was never carried to term.
It was a molar twin.

Oh, God.
When did you give Melissa
the neuroleptic?

About an hour ago.
Should be working by now.
Good.

When you're done here,
let's go have
a chat with her.

Heard about
the Folie à Deux.

Interesting, huh?
Very.

I spoke to Nora
about possibly writing up
a journal article.

Good advertising
for the hospital.

Taking one
for the team, huh?

[ Scoffs ]

Uh, actually,
if I were the attending,

I might see it
a little differently.

The first thing I'd do is,
I'd separate them.

The husband and wife,
they're just feeding
off of each other.

Merging in their, uh, mania.

Under some circumstances,
you might be right,
but not this time.

Well, you are in charge.

Yeah.

I am.

Okay.

Hi, Melissa.

How are you feeling?

I'm sleepy.

And, uh--
And a little warm.

That's the medication
we gave you.

It's supposed to
relax you a little bit.

Melissa,

do you remember
when we asked you if this
was your first pregnancy?

Yes.

Actually--

[ Sighs ]
there was another.

But I'd rather not
talk about it.

We know what happened,
Melissa.

Richard was so happy.

I got pregnant
right after we got married.

This isn't
his first marriage.

He tried with his ex-wife,

but she couldn't conceive.

You should have seen
his face...

when the tests came back.

All of his life
he delivered babies,

and now he's finally
going to have one of his own.

I lost this baby too,
didn't I?

This time...

there was no baby.

It's okay, Melissa.

[ Sobbing ]

[ Nora ]
A molar pregnancy.
[ Jack ] Mm-hmm.

It's pretty horrific.

Two sperm
fertilize the same egg,

producing one healthy fetus and
one mass of cells without the
genetic material to form one.

That mass of cells,
growing quickly,

can overwhelm the healthy fetus,
literally devouring it.

That would shake
anybody's world.

It unhinged Richard,
that's for sure.

I'd say that's what
set all this in motion.

If his delusion is so
deep-seated, how are you
going to break it?

I'll think of something.

Why doesn't that give me
a warm and fuzzy feeling?
[ Phone Ringing ]

[ Beep ]
Becky?

Can you hang on
a minute?

Becky?
Rebecca, I'm inside.
I can't hear you.

Rebecca?
[ Heavy Breathing ]

[ Line Clicks ]

[ Beep ]

Damn it.

She's still calling.

You'll find her.

Is my husband still
being held in Security?

Yes, he is.

You know, maybe you
should press charges.

Maybe
he belongs in jail.

Look what he did to me.

He wasn't just my husband.
He was my doctor.

I mean,
he knew I would believe
what he told me.

I'm so stupid.

I guess that's what
he was depending on.

He's incapable of
depending on anything.

Even his own mind.

He wants a baby very badly.

And that's
not such a bad thing to want.

He divorced his first wife,
because she couldn't give him
what he wanted.

He married me--

a younger woman,
a breeder--

because he was sure
I could do better.

He doesn't
love me.
Of course he does.

All this is just
a product of his disease.

To him, this all
seems very, very real.

No.

He doesn't love me.

He loves the baby more.
That's not true.

Let me prove it to you.

[ Jack ]
Dr. Ranier.

Dr. Gallagher.

I regret--
No time for that now, Richard.
Thank you. It's okay.

Melissa's having
contractions again
and she's hypertensive.

The baby's in distress
and needs to come out now.

- Where is she?
- In the O.R., being prepped for
an emergency C-section.

We have an anesthesiologist
and a surgeon on standby.

- I presume you want to be
present at the delivery.
- Yes. Of course. I'll scrub in.

You okay?

- [ Cooing ]
- I'm going to be a father.

Why so happy, Arturo?

Dr. Gallagher has invited us
to be present at the delivery
of the Ranier baby.

The imaginary Ranier baby?

Yeah,
that's the one.

Well, better get going.
Wouldn't want to be late.

You aware of what's
about to happen?

Vaguely.

And you intend to
let him proceed?
For now.

Have you anticipated what
the board's reaction will be
to this ill-conceived charade?

I hadn't planned on
discussing it with the board.
Are you suggesting I should?

Undoubtedly someone will.

I'm trying to
protect you, Nora.

And I appreciate that, Carl.
Thank you for your support.

You put more than
your reputation on the line
when you hired him.

- Whatever do you mean?
- You know what I mean.

I seriously doubt you can handle
that kind of financial hit.

How did you find that out?

Do you honestly believe there's
anything going on in this
hospital I don't know about?

I suppose not.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ]

Hmm.

Is that all?

No.

[ Door Closes ]

[ Monitor Beeping ]

Are we ready?

Yes, Doctor.

Is the fetal heart monitor on?
Yes, Doctor.

Stabilize
two mics per kilo.

[ Ultrasound:
Heart Beating ]

[ No Audio ]

[ Jack ]
Richard.

Perhaps you'd like to
make the first incision.

[ Exhales,
Breathing Heavily ]

[ Nurse ]
You're going to feel
sleepy now.

[ Nurse ]
Doctor?

Just wait.

[ Jack ]
We can't wait. Richard,
the baby is in distress.

- It needs to come out now.
- Check the heart monitor.

And the fetal monitor.
Something's not--
It's not right here.

[ Jack ]
This is what you wanted.
Make the incision.

[ Gasping, Panting ]

[ Nurse ]
Doctor?

No.
[ Gasping, Panting ]

No, no, no, no.
Please stop. Just stop.

[ Sobbing ]
It's not right.
Please.

[ Sobbing Continues ]

It's okay.
I'm sorry.

It's okay.
It's over now.

I would never let
anyone hurt you, ever.

I love you.

[ Typing ]

I love you too.

Dr. Ranier voluntarily
committed himself?

He knows he's sick.
Worst part's over.

Aren't you going to
say anything?
About what?

Oh, about the fact that
you booked a working O.R. at the
cost of thousands of dollars...

and were about to perform
an unauthorized C-section?

That you had real
surgical instruments
in the room...

and tried to put
a deadly weapon in the hands
of a mentally ill person?

No.

[ Beep ]

Sorry I'm late.
Hey.

I have something
I want you to listen to.

** [ Pop ]
Oh.

Is that new?
Mm-hmm.

Wrote it for you.
** [ Continues ]

* Talk about
social imperfections *

Is everything okay,
baby?

** [ Continues ]

* Think about
the comical directions *

Uh, God, Denny, I-- I--
I don't know what to say.

I was so mad when
you came by today, and I--

And then I just saw you
with the kids, and, uh--

They're great kids.

You know, maybe--

I don't know.
Maybe we should start
havin' some of our own.

You'd make a great mom.

** [ Continues ]

* And it's me
that wants it all *

* To be loved
To be somehow perfect *

* It's me
that wants it all *

Wharton Memorial.
Oh, Dr. Gallagher.

Yeah.

Uh, yes, she--
she has been admitted.
Thanks, Malc.

Look, I assure you,
we have--

Who left this?

A lady. She asked
if you were here
and dropped it off.

When?
A couple of
minutes ago.

What was she wearing?
Damn it, Malcolm,
this is important.

What was she wearing?
I'm sorry. I was so busy,
I didn't even notice.

* ...understand
the life you chose *

* Mm-mm-mmm *

* 'Cause it's me
that wants it all *

Rebecca?

* To be loved
To be somehow perfect *
Becky!

* Me that wants it all *
Sorry.
I'm so sorry.

* To be right *

* To be
something sacred, yeah *

* Sacred, yeah **
