Hello.

Could I get a shot of
espresso and a cup of coffee?

Would you like to try our
chocolate banana empanada?

Specialty of the house.

Should I have dessert for breakfast?

Live a little.
Let me think about it.

Come on, have one for me.

I miss my earthly delights.

Sure, I'll try one.

She's too young for you.

Oh, no.

Keep it.

Did you know this
was my favorite place?

I used to sit here every day.

Hmm.

Kate.

Are you on a date?

Dr. Holt.

She calls you doctor?

You must love that.

I got you a cup of coffee.
Thank you.

Not sure how you take it.
Black.

Then it's perfect.

Is, uh, is that for me?

Yes.

I hear they're very good.

Thanks.

None for you?

No, thanks.

Mm, wow, that is delicious.

Let me guess, you're a, uh,

more like a brown rice,
birdseed kind of guy?

Ha! More like red wine, red meat.

I want to thank you for
reconsidering the Clinica job.

I was surprised you had
the guts to ask,

after that horrible pitch
you gave me last week.

So what made you change your mind?

Your ex-wife accomplished
a lot on a shoestring

at Clinica Sanando.

She really served the community.

Anna will be missed.

And she married you,
so you can't be all bad.

So that's a yes?

Yes.

I would be honored

to follow in Anna Paul's footsteps.

Oh, that's great. Really.

I'm-I'm ready to get to work.

I'll walk you over, I got a little
more time before my first patient.

Great. Let me just, uh,
let me get a top up,

'cause I have a mild
caffeine addiction.

I like her.

She seems smart and tough.

If I have to be replaced,

and I do...

Are you ready?

Yeah, let's do it.

So, a family clinic--

that's what you've been
holding out for?

I quit the HMO

to bring good health care to
people who can't afford it.

And here's where you'll do it.

Clinica Sanando.

Bet you don't even
know what that means.

Sandy clinic.

No?

Healing clinic.

Necesita aprender Espanol si
quiere trabajar in el 'hood.

Wow.

You know, I've driven
past here for years.

Kept meaning to walk in.

I work ten blocks away and I
never even knew it was here.

Guess we see
what we need to see.

- Oh, my God!
- Mommy!

Oh, my God, a car
crashed into the clinic!

Are you okay?
Is anybody hurt?

Sync and correction by Mlmlte

A car crashed through the
front of Clinica Sanando.

- We need an ambulance.
- Everybody okay? Anybody get hit?

Cuts and bruises, nothing
critical. Car... check inside.

Ma'am, you okay?
Yes.

- Can you move your arms and legs?
- I'm okay. What about my kids?

You all right back here?
Anybody hurt?

We're okay.
Right, Tasha?

I think so.

They're okay.
Easy, easy.

It's a good thing you were

wearing your seat belt, huh?

Let's get everyone into an exam room.

I feel terrible.

After everything Dr. Anna did for me.

Take a deep breath for me.

So you were coming here?

I work the night shift.

Davion had a stomachache.
He looked damn near green.

Tasha didn't sleep all night.

Thought I should bring them in.

My mom brought me here
'cause I'm sick.

Where is she?

Well, Dr. Michael is
looking at your mom

to make sure she's okay,
and then you get to see her.

Is that good?

- Does your neck hurt?
- A little.

Okay, tell me where.

It feels funny in the back.

You might have pulled a muscle.

It's called whiplash.

Just move your neck slowly.
Follow my finger.

Move your neck nice and slow.

And here.

That's good.

What about you, sir?
Any neck pain?

Numbness, tingling?

No. But my stomach hurts.

Okay, does it hurt in a kind
of poking, stabbing sort of way

or more like a I-may-need-to-
throw-up kind of way?

More like I-might-need-
to-throw-up kind of way.

I think I got the flu.

My heart is still beating so fast.

I swear it wasn't my fault.

That guy on the bike...

he just flew out of nowhere.

Well, you have
a very reliable witness.

Me.

Michael, can you come out
here for a second?

Uh, sure.

Be right back.

What's up?

Look at what Officer Smythe

found on the floor of the back seat.

Your driver was drinking.

Lucille did struggle with drinking.

She even lost her kids for a while.

Anna helped her get back on track,

but maybe she fell off the wagon.

That's odd. I didn't smell
any alcohol on her breath.

I still got to give her the test.

Lucille, this is Officer Smythe.

- He needs to give you a Breathalyzer.
- Why?

I haven't had a drink in over a year.

Then why was this in your car?

I have no idea...

You all right?

Here, take it easy.

Sit up here.

Hand me an ophthalmoscope.

Have you felt dizzy
since you've been here?

No.

You got to believe me.

I'm on probation.

I can't lose my kids
again; I just can't.

Any papilledema?

No, but she has extensive
hypertensive retinopathy.

In English.

Damage to the retinas
due to high blood pressure.

We're lucky we caught it.
She could've stroked out.

BP's 230/140.

You been taking any
blood pressure medication?

I was, until
the prescription ran out.

You should have refilled it.

I needed the money
for the kids' school supplies.

Put her on a labetolol drip,

until you can rule out a
hypertensive emergency.

- Doc, I still have to administer the test...
- Go ahead. But she's not drunk.

Dr. Sykora, can I talk to you?

So the cop found a beer
bottle in the car.

Mom was drinking?

No, her only problem was

she stopped taking
her ace inhibitors.

I think someone's flu
just became a hangover.

Hey, man, so the cops found
an empty beer bottle

in your mom's car.

My mama doesn't drink anymore.

That's what we think, too.

Mr. Davion?

Me and my boys might have gone
for a ride last night,

- and had a few.
- Oh, Davion,

you're gonna get it...

Shut up, Tasha.

Hey, eyes here, pal.
Underage drinking, joyriding...

you're going to have
to face the music.

I'll go get a mop and a bucket.

Get a EKG on Lucille,
and keep her on the drip

till her pressure's back to normal.

You're leaving?

Got to go to work.

Anna.
Go away.

- You know I don't like to cry in front of you.
- You don't need to see this.

And there are so many people around.

Check it out... I'm pretending
to talk on my phone.

Hey.

Kate really took charge in there.

Almost reminds me of someone.

That's just it... I'm not someone.

I can see what's happening,

and I can feel what's happening,

but there isn't a damn thing
I can do about it.

It's like if you were in the O.R.

and you're about to take out a tumor,

and then you find yourself
behind three feet of glass.

That sounds like hell.

It's not heaven.

Let's see if I can do something.

Hello.

Dana.

Let me guess...
you're canceling dinner.

Why would you assume that?

Because I'm your sister,
I sort of know you.

Listen, I'm calling about
your friend Anton,

the shaman-- isn't he
a carpenter, too?

Yeah, he does beautiful work.
Why?

Well, I got a job for him.

It's more like fast and cheap,

but it's for a good cause.

Tell him to come over
to Clinica Sanando

- and find Dr. Kate Sykora.
- Thanks, Michael. That's very cool of you.

And I will see you tonight.
Okay, fine.

There you go, I hired someone.

So now you don't have
to hang around here...

anymore.

What happened to you?
Flat tire?

You'll be happy to know
I'm done with the clinic.

They have a new director.
Good.

Now you need to tidy up
for your 10:00 a.m.

Samir Patel, 18.

Suffering from frequent headaches...

and his poor parents are suffering

from that damn video game.

So tell me about
your headaches,

Samir.

They started several months ago.

Samir is a senior in high school.

His college applications
will be due soon.

He'll apply for early
admission to Yale...

premed.

My wife says that Samir is going
to be a great doctor, like you.

Thank you.

Go, go, go... Yes!

This game is his obsession.

Apparently, it distracts
him from the pain,

but I wonder,

could this be the cause
of his headaches?

Prolonged exposure
to video games can do that.

Samir, you having a headache now?

Samir?

Samir...

Samir, do not ignore us.

You must answer
the doctor's question.

Now!

You will not be disrespectful.

- Hey, I need that. I need it!
- Once you learn to act like an adult.

You know, I'd love to speak
to your son alone.

Samir, let me show you my video game.

Can you please tell them
that I'm 18 and not eight?

That's what parents
are for, my friend.

To treat you like a kid
even when you're an adult.

Board activated.
So how's your headache?

Right now, it's gone.

So was it your parents that
wanted you to become a doctor?

No, that was all me.

Really?

Check this out.
Whoa.

Yeah.

It's a picture of a neuron

with its dendrite and axon...

They're brain cells.

That's right.

Two-photon calcium imaging
superimposed on a Brainbow.

That's so cool.

Right?

Did you know
that the medulla oblongata

has two sensory and motor axons
that crisscross?

That's why, when someone has a stroke

on the left side of the brain,

they become paralyzed on the right.

Yeah.

You do want to be a doctor.

Try it.

Really?

Yeah. Give it a go.

Sweet.

This thing rocks.

As much as your video game?

Well, I don't know.

You know, Planetary Playground's
pretty awesome.

You'd totally dig it. I saw the
Hubble photos in your office.

Didn't think you noticed those.

My avatar, he's this genius...

uber-nerdy, but he totally kicks ass.

I named him the Boy.

Why do you need to play so much?

I guess it just helps
my mind to shut up.

I mean, whenever I stop playing,
my headaches get worse.

Does the pain ever make you
nauseous or dizzy?

Yeah, I had a dizzy spell
a few weeks ago.

Uh, school nurse sent me home.

She's hot, by the way.

Show me where the pain starts.

It's kind of like right here.

Describe what it's like.

I don't really like essay questions.

I'm more of a multiple choice man.

Me, too.

A: Piercing, B: Throbbing,
C: Stabbing.

I'd have to say D:
None of the above.

It's more like loud.

Like music or, uh,
Planetary Playground?

I can't tell you.
Samir, you're 18.

You're legally an adult.

Whatever you tell me is confidential.

My headache... it has a voice.

It talks to me.

Shut up! Shut up!

Lie still, please.

But my headache
is really loud right now.

All right, stop.

What's it saying?
That I should get out of here.

Okay, just try to relax.

What if we take these pictures

and my brain looks normal?

Just do the test.

I can't!
It's too quiet in here.

You don't know what it's like

to have a voice in your head.

You can't understand.

I need you to talk to me!

I am talking to you.
No, in here.

Okay, so what do you want
to talk about?

I don't know.

Why'd you become a doctor?

Uh, when I was a kid,

my dad gave me a, uh,
Visible Man model.

I thought it was really cool.

I had one of those.

I like looking
at the inside of the body.

I like looking at the brain.

Yeah, I wanted to
know how it worked...

chemistry, the wiring, rewiring...

so I chose neurosurgery.

Uh... then I took a detour.

What kind of detour?
No talking, okay?

I guess it wasn't a detour.

It was a woman.

She wanted to be

a family doctor, so...

I switched specialties.

Followed her all the way
to the frozen tundra of Alaska.

We had some adventures there.

Sutured a polar bear bite.

Did an emergency delivery
of an Inuit baby in an igloo.

Then it was over.

And I came to New York,
and I built this.

Dr. Holt?

The patient's asleep.

Figures.

Was a boring story.

Not for me.

Samir's MRI shows a mass on the nerve

connecting the brain
to the inner ear.

Now, this nerve

controls balance and hearing,

which explains the headaches
and the dizziness.

What is this mass?

Uh, most likely a tumor called
a vestibular schwannoma.

A tumor-- so this is cancer?

A schwannoma is usually benign,

but I can't say for
sure until I operate

and biopsy the tissue.

And what if you don't?

If left untreated, it
can lead to deafness.

Are there risks if he has the surgery?

There are always risks.

Surgery itself could leave Samir deaf

in the affected ear.

My success rate is 100%.

It's your decision.

If there's something in my head
that shouldn't be there,

I want you to get it out.

Then we'll operate tonight.

I hear you need a carpenter.

How'd you hear that?

Michael Holt...
he called a friend of mine.

Yes.

Hi.
Hi.

Kate Sykora.

Anton Little Creek.

Little Creek, huh?

You know, Sykora actually means

"little bird" in Czech.
Oh.

So you know Michael.

Does that mean
that you knew Anna Paul?

We, um...
we've crossed paths.

Well, you came
through the waiting room,

so you know what a big job it is.

This place has amazing energy.

I feel so blessed to be here.

That's great.
Just, uh, dive right in.

I'm buried under bills.

I'm, uh, still trying
to find the insurance policy.

Is this it?

Thank you.

Tavo said I'd find you hiding here.

Didn't get the memo, Dr. Barnes?

Those things are bad for you.

They'll kill you.

How are your patients?

Lucille's on a drip.

BP's going down.

Tasha says she feels weird, though.

Weird how?

She's sleepy, but she can't sleep,

and every time she
yawns, her neck hurts.

Well, she doesn't have whiplash.

Probably still freaked out,
the poor thing.

What's up with you?

I've been going
through Anna's paperwork.

The insurance policy
she took out on the clinic...

it has a $75,000 deductible.

That's too high.

But the monthly payments were low.

You don't seem surprised.

Anna had amazing skills.

We were all in awe of her.

She was generous to a fault.

The day-to-day running
of the business?

She let things slide a little.

Things got tight,
she'd go off salary,

eat Cheerios for a while.

You know, uh...
Yeah.

Well, the board's going
panic about this

Think they'll shut us down?

Maybe. They have
to cover their asses.

Maybe you should hit up Anna's ex.

Holt's been coming around,
and he looks flush.

No. I've been in tight binds before.

I know how to hustle for funds.

You sound like Anna.

We're going to get through this,

even if I have to eat Cheerios.

Do you see the tumor?

Right where I knew it would be.

Scalpel.

Pickups.

And good-bye, schwannoma.

Wow. You don't see this every day.

Michael, what the hell is that?

Something extremely rare.

Does that thing have teeth?

Yes, it can have teeth, even hair.

It's called a chimera.

It's the beginnings of a human being.

The tumor was Samir's twin.

Sometimes, in utero,

one embryo dies and is absorbed
into the other one.

It's called a chimera
or a vanishing twin.

It's grown larger recently,

which has been known to happen.

The increased pressure on the nerve

is what was causing
Samir's headaches.

This news is difficult for my wife.

After Samir was born,
we tried for many years

just to have another
child, but could not.

Perhaps we put too much
pressure on Samir.

Dr. Holt, I want to tell you something.

When I became pregnant, I could feel

two babies inside my belly.

Identical twins.

I even named them.

Samir...

and Amit.

In Hindi, Amit means "infinite."

How could you not tell me this?

Do you remember "the Boy?"

Samir mentioned him to me.

He said it was the name

of his avatar.

It was also something else.

When Samir was a child, he had...

what do you call it?

An imaginary friend.

We often heard Samir talking to him.

He called him "the Boy."

My husband thought it was sweet,

but I discouraged Samir
from having these conversations.

I told him to make real friends.

So, now, I must wonder, Dr. Holt,

could this boy have been the
spirit of my other son Amit?

With Samir speaking

to his brother?

Sorry to interrupt.

Samir's awake.

I think something's wrong.

Excuse me.

Go away. Go.

Samir? Samir, are you in pain?

Samir?
No, it's too loud!

Shh...
What does he mean?

Get out.
Get out! Get out!

Did you leave part
of the tumor inside?

No, the surgery was a success.

Make him stop!
Samir!

Listen, you need to lie still.

I trusted you!

You said you would help me!

I did, okay? The tumor is gone.

No, it's the voice.

He's still here.
He's screaming at me!

You didn't get him out.

Samir has been having
auditory hallucinations.

You knew this and
did not let us know.

He's an adult.
What he tells me is confidential.

What can you do for this?

We have an excellent neuro-psychiatrist
on staff... Dr. Baxter.

We'll assess your son's mental status

and prescribe medication if needed.

Dr. Holt, in India, we knew
a woman who practiced Ayurveda.

Rita, no.

It's all right.

Samir will meet
with your psychiatrist.

Come.

Tough case.

The margin was clear.
The mass is gone.

The tumor's incidental.

I'm sure you're right.

Why? Why are you sure?

Uh...

because you always find the answer.

The answer's in that family.

Got a dad who pushes him

and a mother who suffocates him.

No wonder the kid needs
that voice to drown them out.

Speaking of fun family dynamics,

did you forget about dinner
with your sister?

If he wakes up and he's agitated,

just give him one
milligram of lorazepam.

No, it's not gonna stop
the voice in his head,

but it'll put him to sleep. Yep.

Who has a voice in their head?

I can't discuss my patients with you.

Maybe your patient has an Anna.

No, he's got a lot of problems.

I've done all I can.

The mother wants to do an Ayurveda,

whatever that is.

It's traditional
East Indian medicine.

Wow...
you really freak out

when things defy logic, don't you?

There's a medical explanation for it.

Mm.

It's like a phantom limb.

A guy loses an arm,

but the arm still hurts.

Anyway, psychiatric case now.

You know, sometimes people

think mental illness is misdiagnosed.

Anton works with people
who thought they were sick,

and then the energy healing...

Don't start.

You sound just like Dad.

This case has nothing to do with you.

You remember last year,
I was having a really hard time,

and Milo was getting into
all those fights at school?

You kept saying, "You're
the parent, he's the kid..."

It's true.
Like that helped.

And then I lost my job,

and I really started
to unravel, remember?

I didn't tell you this

because I didn't
want you to judge me,

but I went on a retreat.

Another one?
It was different.

I met Anton.

And he really helped clear

all the heavy stuff.

That's why I thought he could
help your patients.

Look, I get it
that it worked for you,

but I do real medicine.

Hey, Lucille, you headed home?

Dr. Zeke says I am.

BP's normal, drip worked.

That's good news.

On one condition,
you come in

here every day this week
so I can check your BP

and make sure
you're taking your meds.

I will. I won't be any more
trouble, believe me.

There's a problem with Tasha.

What happened?

She was drawing a picture

and she started to cry.

My neck still hurts,
more than before.

Baby, it's gonna be all right.

Show me where it hurts.

Here. And my arm feels tingly.

Zeke, let's get her
into an exam room.

Come on.

Sorry about before.

You're not like Dad.

He never would have tried
alternative healing.

But then again,

he never had a visitation
from the other side.

Uh, maybe when he was really blasted.

Yeah.

Daddy did have his demons.

This is Dr. Holt.

Michael, it's Kate Sykora.
We have a neural emergency

with a patient from the car wreck.

Did Lucille stroke out?

I told Zeke to keep her on the drip.

Lucille is fine.
It's her daughter Tasha.

How does she present?

Stiffness in the neck,
yawning makes her cry,

her left arm is numb,
and now she's unconscious.

All right, get her to Holt right now.

She's starting to posture.

Penlight.

Pupil is blown.

Michael, I think her brain
is herniating.

Okay, listen to me.
You're gonna have

to relieve her intracranial
pressure right now.

How? We can't open up her skull
here-- we don't have

that kind of equipment.
Zeke, get some

I.V. tubing and a spinal needle.

Kate, you're going to do
a ventriculostomy.

Temporal bone is thin enough to
punch through without a drill.

Listen, insert the needle
two centimeters superior

and anterior to the pinna.
What am I aiming for?

Temporal horn
of the lateral ventricle.

Be careful...
if you're off, you'll tear

through the sylvian fissure.

Okay, I feel the spot.

Great.
Now insert the needle.

Any fluid coming out?

Did I miss the mark?

Kate, talk to me.

She stopped posturing.
It worked!

Great.
Get her an ambulance,

I'll meet you at Holt.

I decompressed her posterior
fossa by removing areas

of the skull and spinal column.

What are you finding?

Your patient has
a Chiari Malformation.

I'm opening the dura.

I've never seen a Chiari before.

Lower brain gets displaced downward

causing obstruction and compression.

She's had it since birth.

So it was a
congenital condition.

Accident probably aggravated it.

And that's why she had pain
from yawning

and a stiffness in her neck.

She's lucky she was at the clinic.

You and Zeke saved her life.

Pretty cool, right?

Yeah.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

It's really impressive.

Movie night at Holt Neuro?

No, they're actually
called "brainbows."

They help us understand
neural connections.

Hmm. They make the brain
look really beautiful.

What you did for Tasha was amazing.

Yeah. Just glad she's okay.

Can Lucille see her?
I'm sure she's worried sick.

Already had the nurse go get her.

She can sleep over if she wants,
either in Tasha's room

or we can get her her own suite.

Her own suite.

Not exactly the accommodations
we have at the clinic.

We try.

Yes, it must be very hard.

So, did you always want
to be in family medicine?

Actually, I thought about
becoming a cardiologist.

A woman who wants
to understand the heart.

Yes, it is almost as clich�

as a man who is all about the brain.

So, you, uh, you figure 'em out yet?

You know, every time I think I do,

I realize I'm just a beginner.

Yeah. Heart's kinda the same way.

Good morning, good morning.

Hi, Dr. Mike.

Hey, Tasha.

Get some sleep?

Mm-hmm.
Good.

Well, she's gonna be fine.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Just glad we caught it in time.

This is a miracle.

Oh, right, you're a doctor;

a scientist; you probably
don't go for miracles.

Not really.

When I got clean, my sponsor
told me to get friendly

with my higher power.

I was so low, I lost my faith.

But now I believe.

There's gotta be a plan, right?

Why else would I barely
miss that bike messenger

and crash my old junk heap
into Dr. Anna's clinic?

I don't know.

So that my sweet baby
could get her surgery...

from the best.

Dr. Baxter evaluated Samir
and prescribed medication.

Good.
He'll come back

for a follow-up appointment
in two weeks.

I'm sorry to bother you,
but I think you're

the family I'm looking for.
Are you the boy with the voice

in his head?
Christina...

Who are you?
I'm Dr. Holt's sister.

And I want to talk
to you about your son.

You told her about Samir?
No, no, he didn't.

I overheard him.
And I want to tell you

about a healer
that I know, a shaman...

Excuse us.

You have no right
interfering here, Christina.

Michael, you can help this kid.

Anton can release the voice
in his head.

Leave. Now.
Wait! Please!

Dr. Holt, I would like to hear

what your sister has to say.

So would I.

All right.

Dad, are you coming?

Did I just hear your sister's
voice at reception?

Carries, doesn't it?

You're not dressed
for your next consult.

Yeah, I know. Cancel it.

I gotta clear my head.

Michael, I know you're relieved
to be done with that clinic,

but I got a call
earlier from Zeke Barnes.

He said he thought

you'd want to know
that they're having

an emergency board meeting
over there tonight.

He said, uh, "Kate doesn't
want to bother you,

but there's a problem
with the insurance."

You know what?

Zeke should listen to his boss.

Momentito.

Can I help you?

Got a big bump on your head, huh?

We're looking for Anton Little Creek.

Our carpenter?

I do other work, too.

You sure you're cool
with this, brother?

Hey, I'm open-minded.

I'm a Pisces.

So what exactly are you gonna do?

It's an Incan healing technique.

It's called an extraction.

Samir is gonna release

the energy of his twin

into this.

I'll locate the energy
and loosen its hold.

Sage will clear the space.

The crystal is like
a first-class ticket

for intrusive energies.

They get a nice ride home.

The energy of your twin has
found a safe place in you.

It wants to let go,

but he's scared.

I want you to think of Amit
just going down your arm

and right into the crystal.

Is the spirit out?

What are you so mad about?

You always used to go running
when you were pissed off.

Or when I wanted to be alone.

You think I'm an idiot?

I hired people
to deal with your clinic,

and it's a sinking ship.

The Clinica was my life's work.

I didn't have children and
a husband, I had my patients

and my staff; they were my family.

Well, then you should've
taken better care of them.

I did the best I could

under difficult circumstances.

You never got your act together.

Just like Alaska,
you make rash decisions,

you don't prioritize.

Oh, don't bring up the jade earrings.

You bought gifts for our patients

when we couldn't even
pay the gas bill.

Grandma Leah deserved something nice.

She wasn't your grandma!

Don't lecture me, it's too late.

Why can't you face your mistakes?

All right.

I screwed up.

I bounced checks, I
maxed out credit cards.

You know better than anyone else.

And now your family is in trouble.

Yes.

And what a shock...

who do you come to to bail you out?

Dr. Holt!

Samir.

Well, you look, uh, you look better.

You guys leaving?

Uh, yeah.
Dad's waiting for us.

You know, it worked.

The voice is gone.

Anton's gonna build a bonfire tonight

to help release Amit's spirit
to the other side.

Wish I could be there.

We'll talk about it.

Okay.

I'm like you, Dr. Holt,

I don't usually go for

all this mystical business.

But thank you for everything

you did for my family.

Of course.

Thanks.

There are no words.

Wait a minute.

For you, Dr. Holt.

So, Christina brought
my patient to you.

Samir did some
heavy lifting in there.

But he's clear.

He told me.

So, maybe now you
understand what I do.

No.

But if you believe it,
Samir believes it...

It's called the placebo effect.

Sometimes, a sugar pill
works as well as meds.

No one knows why.

You are one stubborn cat, Dr. Holt.

I think this was meant for you.

It's the Hindu god Ganesh.

He removes obstacles.

Right gift for a shaman.

Surgeon could use it more.

Come in.

You need a new nameplate.

Ah, you certainly got
dressed up to tell me that.

You must be dressed up
for the board meeting.

How do you know?

Heard there was a problem

with the insurance.

Ah.

Zeke ratted me out.

He was just trying to help.

So, why didn't you come to me?

Michael, I don't want your money.

And besides,
it would only be a Band-Aid.

So what are you going to do?

Uh, well, I have connections
at foundations.

I can apply for emergency funds.

I mean, while I'm out
doing the legwork,

the board will probably close us down

for a while.

Unless...

You saved a girl's life yesterday.

You helped.

That's my point.

We did it together.

Michael, I really need a team here.

We are so understaffed.

I have a job.

I know. And when I saw you
performing surgery

last night, I really wanted

to let you off the hook.

But if I could
tell the board that we had

a new doctor on staff...
not a new doctor, you...

you could make all the difference.

I'll give you five hours a week.

Fifteen.

Don't you want the clinic to survive?

All right, ten.

Really?

You'll work with me?

Yes.
