HEY. HEY.

SO PETE MUST BE HAPPY.

WHAT?

CUSTODY OF LUCAS. OH.

YEAH, YEAH, I THINK SO. I MEAN...

I GUESS. WELL, HE WON, RIGHT?

YEAH. HE WON.

SAM...

YOU COMING TO BED?

YEAH. I, UM... I'LL BE IN IN A MINUTE.

MY GOD.

WE WERE SUPPOSED TO JUST HAVE DINNER

LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE. WE ATE.

I ATE.

COOPER.

DO YOU...

DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD TALK ABOUT WHAT THIS MEANS?

YOU THINK IT MEANS SOMETHING?

DO YOU?

YOU WANT TO JUST DO IT AGAIN?

OKAY.

MM.

HEY. I THOUGHT YOU HAD THE DAY OFF TODAY.

UH, YEAH. UH, MAYA'S GOT A HISTORY EXAM TOMORROW,

SO I'M DOING HER ULTRASOUND TODAY. OH, YOU'RE SO SWEET.

I JUST GOT SOME REALLY GOOD NEWS. OH, GOD. OH, NO.

WHAT? THE BITCH IS BACK.

THE WOMAN WHO THREW THE CUP OF COFFEE AT MY HEAD? YEAH.

SHE'S HERE? SHE'S WAITING FOR ME IN MY OFFICE

WITH HER HUSBAND RIGHT NOW.

GOD. WHY THEY'D EVEN BOTHER

TO DO MARRIAGE COUNSELING AGAIN AFTER LAST YEAR...

YOU KNOW SHE CALLS THAT POOR SWEET MAN THE WEASEL?

VIOLET, SHE THREW A COFFEE CUP AT MY HEAD.

I HAVE A SCAR.

SHE'S GOT ANGER ISSUES. YEAH.

YOU KNOW, I MEAN, DEEP, UNRESOLVED ANGER ISSUES.

OH! LOOK AT YOU.

I KNOW. CRAZY, HUH?

YOUR MOM'S ON HER WAY UP. YOU READY? OH, YOU WERE GONNA TELL ME SOMETHING?

I'LL TELL YOU LATER.

ARE YOU STILL, UH, NOT TALKING TO ME?

OKAY. I HAD SEX WITH CHARLOTTE LAST NIGHT.

IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE JUST DINNER,

BUT IT BECAME DINNER WITH SEX. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

I HAD TO DO IT, VIOLET.

I COULDN'T LIE ON THE STAND. COME ON, REALLY?

I NEED TO TALK TO YOU. TALK TO SOMEBODY ELSE.

H-HELLO?

DR. TURNER?

IT IS SO GOOD TO SEE YOU. MM.

OH. IT'S GREAT TO SEE YOU, TOO, CLAIRE.

UM...

YEAH.

SHE'S HAPPY.

YES, I CAN SEE THAT.

NO, I MEAN, REALLY HAPPY.

IRWIN THINKS I HAVE DEMENTIA. SWEETIE, I DON'T THINK THAT.

IT'S JUST, YOU'RE USUALLY NOT A HAPPY PERSON,

AND YOU CHANGED, JUST OVERNIGHT.

SOMETHING'S WRONG. OH, JUST SAY IT, IRWIN.

COME ON, SAY IT. I WAS A BITCH.

RIGHT, DR. TURNER?

IT'S OKAY. I WAS A HUGE BITCH.

RIGHT?

BUT I AM NOT ANYMORE. I'M FEELING BETTER.

AND I'M DOING CHARITY WORK.

THAT'S--THAT'S WONDERFUL.

SHE GAVE AWAY ALL OF OUR MONEY... UH-HUH.

TO A CHURCH. DIDN'T NEED IT.

AND NOW SHE'S--WELL, WE'RE HAVING A LOT OF SEX NOW. YOU THINK HE'D BE THRILLED.

I AM, I AM. I... IT'S NOT HER.

YOU KNOW MY WIFE.

WELL, UH, C-CLAIRE, HOW WOULD YOU EXPLAIN

THIS, UH, T-TRANSFORMATION?

I CAN FEEL HIM IN MY SOUL...

INSIDE ME.

GOD.

I HAVE FOUND GOD.

I HAVE BEEN TOUCHED BY THE HAND OF GOD.

STOP STARING AT ME LIKE I'M ABOUT TO KEEL OVER.

I'M FINE.

I JUST--I JUST WISH YOU WOULDN'T BE SO STUBBORN.

YOU KNOW, YOU NEED TO BE RESTING. I'LL REST LATER.

HEY, GUYS. PETE.

WILLIAM, GOOD TO SEE YOU. HOW YOU FEELING?

OH, LET'S JUST SAY I'M GLAD TO BE HOME.

UH... IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME,

I HAVE SOME WORK TO DO IN MY OFFICE.

OKAY.

THE FLIGHT FROM SWITZERLAND REALLY TOOK

A LOT OUT OF HIM.

IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO?

UH, I'M CONSULTING WITH SOME A-LIST SPECIALISTS,

SEE IF THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE THAT WE CAN TRY.

HE HAS TO KEEP FIGHTING.

I CAN'T LET HIM GIVE UP, NOT NOW.

WELL, THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT. WHAT ABOUT WHAT HE WANTS?

I THINK HE'S COME BACK TO DIE.

THANK YOU. HELLO. I'M DR. MONTGOMERY.

HI, I'M GEORGE WALTERS. THIS IS MY DAUGHTER KIM.

HI, KIM. THE E.R. DOCTOR

SAYS YOU'RE HAVING A LOT OF BACK PAIN.

IT STARTED A FEW DAYS AGO.

IT SAYS HERE YOU'RE AT 30 WEEKS.

YOU HAVEN'T HAD ANY PRENATAL CARE? WE LIVE ON A FARM.

IT'S DIFFICULT FOR US TO GET INTO THE CITY. OKAY.

UH, WELL, LET'S TAKE A LOOK HERE.

IS MY BABY OKAY? SHE'S THE APPROPRIATE SIZE FOR HER DATES.

SHE?

IT'S A GIRL?

OH, Y-YES. I'M SORRY. I--

I'D APPRECIATE IT IF YOU COULD MAKE IT AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE.

I'D LIKE TO TAKE MY DAUGHTER HOME.

OKAY.

WEIRD HOW?

I DON'T KNOW. JUST WEIRD. YOU'LL SEE.

HI, I'M DR. BENNETT.

I'M A CARDIOTHORACIC SPECIALIST.

I'D LIKE TO SPEAK WITH YOU ABOUT YOUR SCANS.

UH, IF YOU'D LIKE, YOUR FATHER CAN WAIT IN THE LOUNGE.

I'M FINE HERE. OKAY. WELL...

UH, WHAT YOU HAVE IS AN AORTIC ANEURYSM.

UH, IT'S AN ABNORMAL WIDENING

OF THE LARGE ARTERY IN YOUR ABDOMEN.

WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO DO SURGERY. WE'RE HOPING TO AVOID IT UNTIL THE BABY'S FURTHER ALONG,

BUT WE WILL NEED TO KEEP YOU HERE UNDER OBSERVATION.

HOW LONG? I DON'T KNOW. UH, WE'VE ORDERED SOME REPEAT ULTRASOUNDS.

AND WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO REVIEW

YOUR FAMILY MEDICAL HISTORY-- MOTHER, FATHER, SIBLINGS.

MY MOTHER'S DEAD.

WHY DO YOU NEED ALL THAT? IT'S STANDARD.

A MEDICAL HISTORY HELPS POINT US IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

WHEN WE'RE TRYING TO EVALUATE A PROBLEM.

YOU AND I CAN TALK FURTHER

WHILE YOUR DAUGHTER'S UNDERGOING THE TEST.

NO, I'M GOING WITH HER.

DIDN'T YOUR MOTHER TEACH YOU, IT'S NOT POLITE TO STARE?

GABRIEL...

I KNOW YOU'RE UPSET WITH THE WAY WE LEFT THINGS.

BUT WILLIAM NEEDED ME.

HEY. I GET IT.

ANY WOMAN IN YOUR POSITION WOULD'VE MADE THE SAME CHOICE.

IN THIS CORNER--

ANGRY, SARCASTIC GUY IN A WHEELCHAIR,

WHO, OBVIOUSLY A DYNAMO IN BED,

CAN'T EXACTLY SWEEP YOU OFF YOUR FEET.

AND IN THIS CORNER, YOU GOT OLD MONEYBAGS,

WHO, IF YOU MARRY REAL QUICK, WELL, LET'S JUST SAY,

YOU'D MAKE FOR AN EXTREMELY ATTRACTIVE,

NOT TO MENTION WEALTHY WIDOW.

I WANT YOU TO TRY THE A.L.S. PROTOCOL ON WILLIAM.

THE ONE THAT STILL NEEDS F.D.A. APPROVAL?

THE ONE THAT WOULD BE COMPLETELY DELEGITIMIZED IF WE USE IT?

YES. WILL YOU DO IT?

WOW. AMAZING.

LITTLE MISS MORAL COMPASS

IS SUDDENLY WILLING TO BLOW OFF EVERYTHING SHE BELIEVES IN.

GABRIEL... I'M ASKING YOU TO THINK ABOUT IT.

OKAY?

JUST THINK ABOUT IT.

HEY.

SO, UH, BASED ON KIM'S REPEAT SCAN,

I RECOMMEND SURGERY NOW.

OH, BUT THE FETUS IS ONLY 30 WEEKS.

IT'S TOO RISKY.

YEAH, WELL, BLOWING THE ANEURYSM COULD BE RISKIER.

KIM TESTED POSITIVE FOR THE GENE

ASSOCIATED WITH FIBRILLIN DISEASE? YEAH, IT EXPLAINS THE ANEURYSM.

BUT IT'S AN AUTOSOMAL DOMINANT DISEASE.

I MEAN, IT'S INHERITED FROM THE FATHER. IS SHE ADOPTED?

WELL, GEORGE NEVER MENTIONED IT IN HIS FAMILY HISTORY.

HE DOESN'T HAVE THE DISEASE.

HE'S NOT HER FATHER. HE CAN'T BE.

WELL, THEN WHO IS HE?

SHE SAYS SHE FEELS GOD,

AND IT CHANGED HER.

JUST LIKE THAT, SHE CHANGED?

JUST LIKE THAT.

PEOPLE DON'T CHANGE.

OF COURSE THEY DO.

THEY MODIFY. THEY ADJUST.

BUT UNDERNEATH, WE ARE WHO WE ARE.

THAT'S NOT TRUE.

I-I KNOW IT'S NOT TRUE.

MY ENTIRE CAREER IS BASED ON

HELPING PEOPLE BECOME WHO THEY CAN BE.

PEOPLE DO CHANGE. I'VE SEEN IT.

PEOPLE JUST GET BETTER AT COVERING UP THEIR FLAWS.

THERE.

WHAT IS THAT?

THAT... IS CLAIRE'S GOD.

DON'T YOU GUYS HAVE YOUR OWN CEREAL DOWNSTAIRS?

NAOMI DOESN'T LET US

BUY THE KIND WITH MARSHMALLOWS IN IT.

HEY. HOW DO YOU GET SOMEONE TO TALK TO YOU

THAT WON'T TALK TO YOU?

CHARLOTTE? UH, NO, NOT THIS TIME.

ACTUALLY, WE'RE DOING OKAY. IT'S VIOLET.

SHE'S BEING... I DON'T KNOW, MEAN TO ME.

SHE'S BEING MEAN TO ME, AND SHE'S NEVER MEAN TO ME.

AND I SAID I WAS SORRY.

WELL, JUST, UH, KEEP ON KEEPING ON.

IS THAT THE BEST YOU CAN DO?

'CAUSE I CAN GET THAT FROM A BUMPER STICKER. SHE'S HURT, COOPER.

YOU CAN'T EXPECT HER TO COME AROUND

AS SOON AS YOU APOLOGIZE TO HER.

BECAUSE EVEN IF SHE UNDERSTANDS YOUR EXPLANATION INTELLECTUALLY,

SHE, UH, STILL HAS TO ACCEPT IT... EMOTIONALLY.

AND THAT TAKES TIME.

SO KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON.

EXACTLY.

OKAY.

HEY, UH, YOU WANT TO HEAR SOMETHING PRETTY COOL,

SOMETHING I HAVEN'T TOLD ANYBODY ELSE?

I GOT INTO U.C.L.A. MEDICAL SCHOOL.

OH, MY GOD! OH, OH, OH, OKAY.

THAT'S FANTASTIC. CONGRATULATIONS.

YEAH, I HAVE NO IDEA HOW I'D PAY FOR IT, BUT--

HEY. OH, I'M SORRY I'M LATE.

I HOPE I DIDN'T MISS ALL THE FUN.

NO, WE'RE JUST GETTING STARTED. HEY, MOM.

HEY. THANKS FOR HAVING ME HERE, HON.

WOW. THREE WEEKS TO GO. YEAH. EVERYTHING LOOKS GREAT.

HEART RATE IS STRONG. YEAH?

YEAH. OH, I REMEMBER MY LAST MONTH WITH YOU.

I WAS SO NERVOUS, KEPT LOOKING UP

EVERY POSSIBLE OBSTETRIC COMPLICATION IN THE BOOK.

I WAS DRIVING YOUR DAD CRAZY.

IT CAN BE A LITTLE SCARY, YOU KNOW?

SO DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?

I'M FINE. YOU HAVE A PLAN?

I'VE GOT IT ALL WORKED OUT-- TOTALLY NATURAL BIRTH...

DELL'S DOING THE DELIVERY HERE. UH-HUH.

I DO MY SQUATTING EXERCISES IN THE MORNING,

MY RELAXATION TECHNIQUES IN THE AFTERNOON.

THAT'S SO I WON'T NEED AN EPIDURAL.

UM, MY BAG IS PACKED,

AND DINK MADE A MIX CD FOR MY BIRTHING MUSIC.

I'M SO READY.

WOW.

WOW. YOU'VE JUST-- YOU'VE THOUGHT OF EVERYTHING.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ME, MOM.

YOU NOT BEING AROUND ACTUALLY HELPED.

IT GAVE ME A CHANCE TO GROW UP,

FIGURE THINGS OUT ON MY OWN.

THANKS FOR DOING THE CONSULT, SHELDON.

ORDINARILY, I'D ASK VIOLET, BUT THINGS HAVE BEEN

A LITTLE WEIRD SINCE THE TRI--

SHELDON?

I KNOW, STOPPING ELEVATORS IS YOUR THING,

BUT TODAY, I...

I NEED TO CHANGE THINGS UP A LITTLE.

WAIT. YOU NEED HELP... FROM ME?

SHELDON, YOU SENT ME A BILL LAST TIME.

WHEN I ASKED FOR ELEVATOR ADVICE, YOU CHARGED ME.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, I'M GONNA SEND YOU A BILL, AND I'M EXPENSIVE.

I HAVE MANY BOARD CERTIFICATIONS.

ONLY EIGHT PEOPLE IN THE WORLD DO WHAT I DO.

I CAN GIVE YOU A PAP SMEAR, OPERATE ON YOUR UTERUS

AND PERFORM SURGERY ON YOUR BABY BEFORE AND AFTER HE'S BORN.

ARE YOU GONNA LISTEN TO ME OR NOT?

ALL RIGHT. SPILL IT.

IT'S ABOUT CHARLOTTE. I'VE BEEN GIVING HER ADVICE

ON HOW TO GET BACK TOGETHER WITH COOPER, BUT THE THING IS,

I THINK ABOUT HER, ADDISON.

WHEN SHE'S NOT AROUND, I THINK ABOUT THE WAY SHE SMILES,

THE WAY SHE LOOKS AT ME. I-I...

MY GOD, I SPEND HALF MY DAY COMING UP WITH LAME REASONS

TO GO UP AND VISIT HER.

D-DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I'VE BORROWED STAMPS FROM HER?

I DON'T EVEN USE STAMPS. I PAY MY BILLS ELECTRONICALLY.

LISTEN TO ME, SHELDON.

YOU WANT HER? GO GET HER.

YOU HAVE TO TRY. IF NOT, YOU'RE GONNA SPEND

THE REST OF YOUR LIFE KICKING YOURSELF

AND WONDERING WHY YOU DIDN'T MAN UP AND GO FOR IT.

THANK YOU.

DO YOU HAVE THE TEST RESULTS?

CAN WE GO HOME NOW? ACTUALLY, THE RESULTS WERE INCONCLUSIVE.

WE'RE GONNA NEED HER FOR ONE MORE TEST.

YOU CAN STAY HERE. WHY? I WANT TO BE WITH HER.

WE NEED HER FOR RADIOLOGY, SOME X-RAYS.

YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED IN THE ROOM.

IT'S ALL RIGHT. SHE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

I'LL BE WAITING FOR YOU HERE, KIM.

APPRECIATE IT.

GOD IS IN A BRAIN TUMOR?

I'M SORRY. THAT SOUNDS RIDICULOUS.

WELL, IT'S ACTUALLY A WELL-KNOWN PHENOMENA.

THE TEMPORAL LOBE

CONTAINS THE EMOTIONAL ENGINE OF OUR BRAINS.

IT'S THE CENTER OF ALL OF OUR FEELINGS.

SO ANYTHING--RAGE, LUST, ANGER, PASSION, BLISS--

ANYTHING THAT STIMULATES THAT PART OF THE BRAIN

CAN ELICIT THOSE FEELINGS.

BUT THEY'RE NOT REAL.

THEY'RE JUST MISDIRECTED NEURAL IMPULSES.

THEY'RE... RANDOM SHORT CIRCUITS.

YOU'RE WRONG.

THEY ARE REAL.

I CAN FEEL IT. IT'S HAPPINESS.

I'VE NEVER FELT IT BEFORE, BUT...

IT'S LIKE I-I HAD THIS GIANT WEIGHT ON MY SHOULDERS

AND--AND NOW THE WEIGHT IS LIFTED.

THAT DOESN'T JUST HAPPEN, THAT'S NOT JUST...

CHEMICAL REACTIONS IN MY BRAIN.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT?

IF IT TAKES A MAGIC BULLET IN MY HEAD TO DO GOD'S WORK,

THEN THAT'S HIS PLAN.

IT'S A SLOW-GROWING TUMOR.

WITH SURGERY, YOUR CHANCE OF RECOVERY IS EXCELLENT.

BUT WITHOUT IT...

WHAT, YOU'RE SAYING THIS TUMOR'S GONNA KILL MY WIFE?

WITHOUT THE SURGERY, YOU WILL DIE.

I SPENT THREE YEARS

IN INTENSIVE THERAPY WITH DR. TURNER,

AND I DIDN'T HAVE A HAPPY BONE IN MY BODY.

NOW I'VE FOUND GOD. HE'S IN ME.

IF DYING IS GOD'S PLAN, THEN SO BE IT.

I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO RADIOLOGY. UH, WE ARE.

I JUST WANTED YOU TO CONSULT WITH ONE MORE DOCTOR, KIM,

BEFORE WE DO YOUR TEST.

HI, KIM. I'M DR. WALLACE.

NOTHING?

NOTHING? DID YOU--DID YOU CHECK WITH N.I.H.?

YEAH, I KNOW, I KNOW. I KNEW IT WAS A LONG SHOT.

THANK YOU FOR TRYING, DR. KLEIN.

OKAY.

WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO, GABRIEL?

DO I HAVE TO BEG? OKAY, I WILL BEG.

WHAT YOU'RE ASKING IS UNETHICAL AND ILLEGAL.

THE PROTOCOL IS NOT APPROVED.

IF I GIVE IT TO WILLIAM, IT WILL NEVER BE.

AND I AM STILL ASKING.

NO.

IF YOU DON'T HELP HIM, HE IS GOING TO DIE.

WELL, THEN I GUESS HE'S GOING TO DIE.

SHE'S RATIONAL AND ORIENTED.

THERE'S NO EVIDENCE OF DELUSIONAL THINKING.

SHE'S ENTIRELY CAPABLE

OF MAKING DECISIONS ABOUT HER OWN TREATMENT, SO-- SHE CAN'T DECIDE.

SHE THINKS SHE HAS A PERSONAL PIPELINE TO GOD.

THIS WOMAN WAS MISERABLE HER ENTIRE LIFE UNTIL NOW.

AND YOU ARE TELLING HER TO ACCEPT A TREATMENT

THAT WOULD BRING ALL THAT PAIN BACK,

TO JUST LIVE WITH IT.

I-I MAY NOT AGREE WITH HER DECISION,

BUT I CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND HER REFUSAL

TO LET YOU DO THAT TO HER.

WHY WOULD ANYONE CHOOSE TO FEEL WORSE?

BECAUSE WITHOUT THE SURGERY, SHE WILL DIE.

AND CLAIRE UNDERSTANDS THAT.

SHE BELIEVES IT'S PART OF GOD'S PLAN.

IF GOD IS NOT GONNA DO HIS JOB,

I GUESS I'LL HAVE TO DO IT FOR HIM.

SO YOU DON'T REMEMBER YOUR MOTHER AT ALL?

NO.

WELL, HOW OLD WERE YOU WHEN SHE DIED?

I'M NOT SURE.

YOU KEEP LOOKING AT THE DOOR.

ARE YOU AFRAID YOUR FATHER'S GONNA COME IN?

OR HOPING HE'LL COME IN?

DO YOU HAVE PLANS FOR YOUR FUTURE?

DO YOU WANT TO GO TO COLLEGE OR...

MY DAD DOESN'T THINK I NEED IT.

WELL, THE TWO OF YOU, YOU'RE VERY CLOSE.

WE HAVE A SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP.

HOW SO?

WHEN'S MY DAD GONNA BE BACK?

SOON.

KIM, THIS ABNORMALITY YOU HAVE,

IT'S A CONDITION YOU INHERIT FROM A FATHER--

ONLY FROM A FATHER-- AND GEORGE DOESN'T HAVE IT.

MY DAD SAYS DOCTORS DON'T KNOW

WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT HALF THE TIME.

WELL, YOUR FATHER...

HE SEEMS TO KNOW EVERYTHING.

OF COURSE HE DOES.

HE'S MY DAD.

HER ANSWERS FELT REHEARSED, YOU KNOW, AND PLANNED.

AND SHE'S BEEN EXTREMELY ISOLATED.

SHE DOESN'T WATCH TV OR USE THE INTERNET.

SHE CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER THE LAST TIME SHE LEFT THE FARM.

I THINK WE SHOULD CALL THE POLICE.

THE POLICE? I'M NOT 100% SURE, BUT I THINK WE MAY BE WITNESSING

A KIDNAPPED GIRL AND HER ABDUCTOR.

WHAT?

WE'RE LEAVING.

KIM, GET OUT OF BED.

GET YOUR STUFF. WE'RE GOING HOME.

NO, GEORGE. YOU CAN'T LEAVE. NO, GEORGE. WHOA.

THIS IS MY FAMILY, AND WE ARE LEAVING. GEORGE. G-GEORGE.

ALL RIGHT. NO. GEORGE. YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!

GET BACK INTO BED, KIM. KIM. LET HIM GO!

KIM! YES, I NEED SECURITY. 3-0-1 EAST.

YOU'RE HURTING MY FATHER. I LOVE YOU.

PLEASE. YOU'RE GOING TO HURT HIM. WE'RE FAMILY.

YOU HAVE TO GET BACK INTO BED. SAM! SAM, A LITTLE HELP HERE.

SHE'S UNCONSCIOUS. OKAY.

SHE'S BOTTOMING OUT. CALL THE O.R. WE GOT A TRIPLE-A THAT'S BLEEDING OUT.

OKAY. EASY.

ARE WE GONNA TALK ABOUT THIS?

HUH.

I GUESS WE'RE NOT GONNA TALK ABOUT THIS.

THERE'S GOTTA BE SOMETHING ELSE.

NAOMI... WE'VE BEEN THROUGH THIS.

WHATEVER TIME I HAVE LEFT, I WANT TO SPEND IT WITH YOU...

I...

ENJOYING EACH OTHER...

NOT CHASING SOME IMPOSSIBLE CURE.

THERE'S NOTHING LEFT TO DO.

YOU CAN'T LEAVE.

WHAT? I'VE MADE MY DECISION.

IRWIN AND I ARE GOING HOME.

BUT YOU-- PLEASE DON'T TRY TO CONVINCE ME.

I'M HAPPY.

I'M FINALLY HAPPY, AND I DON'T WANNA GO BACK.

I UNDERSTAND HOW YOU FEEL.

NO, YOU COULDN'T POSSIBLY.

MY FATHER WAS MURDERED.

MY BROTHER AND I WERE THERE WHEN IT HAPPENED.

I-I WAS JUST A KID AT THE TIME. I...

BUT THE BOTTOM FELL OUT... OF MY WHOLE WORLD.

I-I WAS...

THERE WAS A DARK PLACE, AND I WAS IN IT.

UNTIL ONE DAY, THIS FRIEND

GAVE ME A PILL.

AND... I TOOK IT,

AND ALL OF A SUDDEN...

I FELT OKAY,

BETTER THAN OKAY.

I FELT GOOD.

AND SO I KEPT TAKING THEM.

AND I FELT...

GREAT.

AND WHEN PEOPLE WOULD TRY TO GET ME TO STOP

AND TELL ME THAT IT WASN'T REAL, I WOULD JUST LAUGH,

BECAUSE IT WAS REAL.

HOW I FELT--IT WAS BETTER.

IT WAS BETTER...

THAN BEING MISERABLE.

BUT IT ALMOST KILLED ME.

I WAS DEAD FOR THREE MINUTES.

AND LET ME TELL YOU, WHEN YOU ARE LYING ON A STRETCHER,

GASPING FOR WHAT YOU THINK ARE YOUR LAST BREATHS,

YOU DON'T THINK THAT DYING HAPPY IS BETTER THAN LIVING SAD.

DYING... SUCKS.

IT HURTS...

IN A WAY THAT I CAN'T DESCRIBE TO YOU.

AND, NO...

I DON'T BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE CAN CHANGE.

I DON'T BELIEVE THAT YOU'LL CHANGE.

BUT MAYBE I'M WRONG.

AND, HELL, MAYBE YOU WILL WAKE UP FROM THAT SURGERY

AND YOU WILL BE HAPPY.

BUT IF YOU'RE DEAD, IF YOU ARE ROTTING IN THE GROUND

FROM SOME TUMOR THAT ATE YOUR BRAIN,

YOU DON'T GET A CHANCE TO FIND THAT OUT.

AND ONE MORE THING, AND THEN I WILL GO.

I'M... I'M NOT A RELIGIOUS PERSON.

I... DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD.

BUT IF I DID...

I WOULDN'T BELIEVE IN A GOD THAT WANTED YOU TO DIE

THE HORRIBLE, PAINFUL DEATH THAT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE

FROM A GIANT TUMOR THAT WILL TAKE AWAY YOUR ABILITY TO SPEAK

AND SEE AND GO TO THE BATHROOM AND BREATHE ON YOUR OWN.

THAT CAN'T BE GOD.

OKAY.

WAIT A MINUTE.

CLAIRE.

NO, NO, IT'S TOO DANGEROUS...

AND GOD IS TELLING YOU--

SEE, MAYBE SHE'S RIGHT.

MAYBE THIS IS WHAT GOD WANTS.

ALL RIGHT?

I'LL DO IT. I'LL DO THE SURGERY.

WE'RE LOSING HER, SAM. ALL RIGHT.

HANG ANOTHER 4 UNITS ON THE INFUSER. SUCTION.

SHE'S BLEEDING OUT. CROSS-CLAMP THE AORTA. THERE'S TOO MUCH BLOOD IN THE FIELD.

I CAN'T SEE A THING.

GIVE ME YOUR HAND. GIVE ME YOUR HAND.

OKAY, YOU FEEL THAT? RIGHT THERE. YOU FEEL IT? NO.

MOVE CLOSER.

OKAY, NOW PUSH DOWN.

RIGHT THERE. DON'T STOP.

OKAY, MORE SUCTION.

ALL RIGHT.

2 CENTIMETERS TO THE LEFT.

GOT IT.

THERE WE GO. DEBAKEY CLAMP.

PRESSURE'S COMING UP.

OKAY.

OH, IT'S OKAY.

SO CLAIRE IS IN PRE-OP.

SHE SAID I'D FIND YOU HERE.

YOU KNOW, DR. SHEPHERD IS AN EXCELLENT SURGEON.

IT'LL BE OKAY.

NO, IT WON'T.

NO, YOU WERE THERE. YOU WERE IN THERAPY WITH US.

IT WAS HELL LIVING WITH HER.

YOU KNOW, SUDDENLY, I FIND

THE WOMAN I'VE ALWAYS DREAMED OF,

AND IN A FEW HOURS, SHE MIGHT BE GONE.

I'M NOT SURE I HAVE IT IN ME

TO LOVE THE OLD CLAIRE ANYMORE.

SEE, I LOVE HER THE WAY SHE IS NOW...

WITH THAT DAMN TUMOR IN HER HEAD.

I DON'T KNOW

WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN AFTER THE SURGERY.

BUT WE'VE SEEN CLAIRE FOR WHO SHE CAN BE.

AND I DO BELIEVE THE JOY SHE FEELS NOW

COMES FROM A DEEPER PLACE THAN A LESION IN HER HEAD.

SOMEWHERE INSIDE OF HER...

THAT PART MUST EXIST.

DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT?

YOU MAY BE SMART AND INSIGHTFUL AND SOME KIND OF SUPER SHRINK,

BUT I KNOW COOPER, AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE LISTENED. CHARLOTTE--

HE IS WHO HE IS. HE'S FUNNY, NEUROTIC IN THAT WAY

MY MAMA WARNED ME WOULDN'T BE CUTE AFTER A WHILE

AND A FREAK BETWEEN THE SHEETS, BUT HE'S NOT ANY MORE THAN THAT,

AND HE ISN'T GONNA BE.

WELL, I WILL BE...

MORE TO YOU.

I... I WILL BE.

YOU'RE RIGHT. YOU SHOULD EXPECT MORE.

AND FROM THE MAN IN YOUR LIFE, YOU SHOULD EXPECT EVERYTHING--

TRUST AND EMOTIONAL SUPPORT AND INTELLECTUAL STIMULATION.

AND YOU SHOULD EXPECT THAT HE'LL BE THERE FOR YOU

UNCONDITIONALLY, NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO,

NO MATTER WHAT LIFE BRINGS YOU,

AND--AND SEX, TOO--GREAT SEX--

PLUS A GREAT RECIPE FOR HAGGIS.

I MEAN, YOU SHOULD GET EVERYTHING.

I'LL GIVE YOU EVERYTHING,

THE WHOLE PACKAGE, RIGHT DOWN TO THE PICKET FENCE.

I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU. SHELDON WALLACE.

I'M THROWING MY HAT IN THE RING.

HAVE DINNER WITH ME... TONIGHT.

YOU WERE GREAT. I WAS GREAT.

YEAH, WE DID GOOD.

GOOD? WE SAVED TWO LIVES TODAY--

TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE.

I MEAN, HOW OFTEN DO YOU GET TO SAY THAT?

I MEAN, CAN YOU IMAGINE DROPPING THAT AT A DINNER PARTY?

WE SAVED TWO LIVES TODAY.

I MEAN, WHO'S GONNA TOP THAT?

YEAH. WE'RE ALWAYS GOOD TOGETHER.

WHEN IT'S JUST US... WE'RE GREAT TOGETHER.

BUT WE LIVE IN THE REAL WORLD,

AND IT'S TAKEN ME A WHILE, BUT I'M--I'M OKAY WITH IT.

WE'LL BE FRIENDS.

WE'LL BE NEIGHBORS.

BUT WE CAN NEVER BE MORE THAN THAT.

NAOMI TOLD ME THAT YOU'RE REFUSING TO GIVE WILLIAM

YOUR A.L.S. PROTOCOL.

PROTECTING MY RESEARCH.

ONE DAY, WHEN THIS DRUG IS APPROVED BY THE F.D.A.

AND SAVING THOUSANDS OF LIVES,

NAOMI WILL REALIZE IT WAS MORE IMPORTANT

THAN THE LIFE OF JUST ONE MAN. REALLY? THAT'S YOUR REASON?

BECAUSE IF IT IS, THAT'S GOOD.

IF YOU'RE SAYING NO BECAUSE YOU WANT TO GET NAOMI...

MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS.

DOES SHE KNOW THAT YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH HER? OH, SCREW YOU.

YOU'RE PATHETIC. OH, COMING FROM THE GUY WHO DRAGGED VIOLET THROUGH A TRIAL?

I DIDN'T DRAG VIOLET THROUGH A TRIAL. SHE DRAGGED ME. YOU TURNED HER FRIENDS AGAINST HER.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? AND NOW YOU'RE KEEPING HER AWAY FROM HER CHILD?

YOU'RE GONNA CALL ME PATHETIC? GO ON, HIT ME.

YOU THINK I CAN'T TAKE A PUNCH IN THE FACE? YOU'RE NOT WORTH IT.

YOU KNOW WHAT? I AM SO SICK OF BEING THE GUY IN THE CHAIR.

THE GUY IN THE CHAIR NEVER GETS THE GIRL.

AND THIS TIME, I AM GETTING THE GIRL.

SO SCREW THE CHAIR. COME ON. HIT ME.

WHO'S THE BIGGER MAN NOW, PETE? COME ON.

HIT ME. YOU'RE LETTING WILLIAM DIE SO YOU CAN HAVE NAOMI.

THE CHAIR IS NOT WHAT MAKES YOU THE SMALLER MAN.

GET OUT. NOT UNTIL YOU LISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE TO SAY.

OKAY, THEN I'LL GET OUT. OKAY, WHEN YOU SENT SAM INTO MY OFFICE

THE FIRST WEEKS THAT WE WORKED HERE TO FAKE FIRE ME

FOR LOOKING AT ADULT WEB SITES ON MY COMPUTER, I FORGAVE YOU.

OH, COOPER. ARE YOU KID-- WHEN YOU TOLD ANNIE MERSEL,

WHO I'M PRETTY SURE I WAS FALLING IN LOVE WITH,

THAT I WASN'T THE MARRYING KIND BECAUSE

YOU COULDN'T PICTURE US TOGETHER IN 20 YEARS, I FORGAVE YOU. COOPER--

PUKING IN MY NEW CAR, PUKING IN MY OLD BED

OR USING THE 1910 SILVER DOLLAR MY GRANDFATHER GAVE ME

FOR MY BAR MITZVAH TO PAY THE PIZZA GUY...

BUT THAT'S WHAT FRIENDS DO.

THEY SCREW UP,

AND SOMETIMES, THEY HURT EACH OTHER...

AND YOU FORGIVE THEM.

THAT'S WHAT FRIENDSHIP IS.

THAT'S WHAT LOVE IS.

I'M GOING TO LEAVE YOU NOW.

BUT I LEAVE YOU WITH THIS...

YOU ONCE TOLD A WOMAN I HAD JUST STARTED DATING

THAT I HAVE A VERY SMALL NIGHTSTICK,

WHICH WAS UNFORGIVABLE AND ALSO...

A LIE.

AND I LET IT SLIDE.

MM.

WHAT... WHAT HAPPENED?

YOUR ANEURYSM RUPTURED,

BUT WE WERE ABLE TO REPAIR IT.

MY BABY? SHE'S DOING GREAT.

KIM, WE SPOKE WITH THE FBI.

THEY'RE TRYING TO TRACK DOWN YOUR BIOLOGICAL PARENTS.

WHERE'S GEORGE? HE CAN'T HURT YOU.

WE HAVE A POLICE OFFICER STATIONED AT THE DOOR.

YOU ARE SAFE HERE.

NO.

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

I NEED TO SEE HIM.

I LOVE HIM.

THE PROCEDURE WENT WELL.

I'LL PROBABLY SEND CLAIRE HOME IN A FEW DAYS.

AND THE REST? WE'LL SEE.

WHERE THE HELL ARE THEY--THE DAMN DOCTORS?

I AM TIRED OF WAITING.

I'M SORRY.

I CAN'T.

CLAIRE.

YOU LIED TO ME, YOU BITCH.

YOU PUSHED ME TO DO THIS. NOW I HAVE NOTHING. NOTHING!

YOU SHOULDA LET ME DIE HAPPY.

HE KIDNAPPED HER, ASSAULTED HER

AND KEPT HER AWAY FROM HER REAL FAMILY,

AND SHE STILL WANTS TO SEE HIM?

THE POLICE SAID GEORGE HELD HER CAPTIVE FOR 15 YEARS.

HE'S BEEN THE ONLY PERSON IN HER LIFE,

PUTTING CLOTHES ON HER BACK AND FEEDING HER

AND MAKING ALL THE DECISIONS IN HER LIFE.

TO HER, HE IS HER REAL FAMILY.

IT'S THE ONLY LOVE SHE KNOWS.

OH, IT'S JUST TOO PERVERSE TO COMPREHEND.

WELL, ALL KIM SEES IS THAT HE TOOK CARE OF HER,

PROTECTED HER.

HAVE THEY LOCATED HER FAMILY, HER PARENTS?

I MEAN, MAYBE WHEN SHE SEES THEM--

SHE'S BEEN TOTALLY CUT OFF FROM THE WORLD.

AND OVER TIME, THAT OLD LOVE SHE KNEW

BECAME VAGUE, FADED MEMORIES.

AND EVENTUALLY, IN ORDER TO SURVIVE,

HIS BELIEFS BECOME HER BELIEF

AND HIS REALITY BECOMES HER REALITY.

WAS THERE SOMETHING YOU WANTED?

I WANT TO ASK YOU TO FORGIVE ME.

I MEAN--I MEAN, NOT NOW.

I MEAN, I DON'T EXPECT YOU TO FORGIVE ME RIGHT NOW, BUT...

I RAN OUT ON YOU...

WHEN I SHOULD'VE LEANED IN.

I GAVE YOU MY BABY AND... I RAN.

AND PART OF IT'S NOT MY FAULT.

PART OF IT'S WHAT HAPPENED TO ME,

BUT THERE'S THIS-- THERE'S THIS OTHER PIECE,

AND...

YOU LOVED ME.

YOU LOVED ME...

AND I SHOULD'VE LEANED INTO THAT.

I SHOULD'VE LET YOU TAKE CARE OF ME.

BUT I DIDN'T...

BECAUSE...

BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW.

YOU KNOW, I'M THAT PERSON. I'M A SHRINK.

I TAKE CARE OF OTHER PEOPLE, BUT--

AND I SHOULD'VE LET YOU TAKE CARE OF ME...

BUT I DIDN'T.

SO WHEN I ASKED YOU TO SHARE LUCAS WITH ME,

OF COURSE YOU SAID NO.

I-I SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN HURT.

I SHOULDN'T HAVE TAKEN YOU TO COURT.

I LOST MY HAPPINESS,

AND I DIDN'T ASK FOR HELP.

I DIDN'T LEAN IN.

SO HOW COULD I POSSIBLY EXPECT YOU

TO LEAN INTO ME...

TO... TO TRUST ME...

TO BELIEVE IN ME?

AND SO I...

I'M SORRY.

AND I UNDERSTAND.

YOU DID WHAT YOU THOUGHT WAS RIGHT.

BUT I HOPE THAT SOMEDAY...

YOU CAN FORGIVE ME.

WE COULD START WITH OVERNIGHT VISITS

FOR LUCAS...

UNTIL...

HE GETS USED TO IT--

UNTIL I GET USED TO IT--

IF THAT'S OKAY.

I WISH I HAD SAID NO TO YOU FOR THE RIGHT REASONS.

INSTEAD, I SAID NO FOR THE WRONG ONES.

I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU.

AND EVEN IF I WORK

THE--THE POOR CRIPPLED GUY ANGLE,

I CAN'T COMPETE WITH A DYING MAN.

SO I SAID NO SO THAT HE WOULD JUST DIE ALREADY

AND BE OUT OF THE PICTURE.

BUT THE THING IS, I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU,

AND WILLIAM DYING WOULD HURT YOU.

AND I CAN'T HURT YOU. I CAN'T.

IF YOU WANT SOMETHING, I WANT TO GIVE IT TO YOU...

BECAUSE YOU DESERVE TO BE HAPPY.

BECAUSE EVEN IF I HATE WILLIAM,

I CAN'T BE HAPPY UNLESS YOU'RE HAPPY.

GABRIEL...

I'M HAVING THE PROTOCOL PREPARED.

IT'LL BE HERE WITHIN THE HOUR TO ADMINISTER TO WILLIAM.

I'M SO VERY SORRY...

ABOUT YOUR RESEARCH

AND THE... COMPROMISE I'M ASKING YOU TO MAKE.

I HAD A CHOICE TO MAKE.

I MADE IT AND NOW I GOTTA LIVE WITH IT.

I HOPE YOU CAN LIVE WITH YOURS.

I USED TO WATCH CARTOONS.

I'D GET UP EARLY ON SATURDAY MORNINGS

AND SNEAK INTO THE LIVING ROOM.

I KEPT THE VOLUME LOW SO I WOULDN'T WAKE ANYONE UP.

IT WAS THE ONLY DAY MY MOM AND DAD GOT TO SLEEP IN.

I FORGOT ABOUT CARTOONS.

WELL... IN TIME, I'M SURE THERE'LL BE LOTS OF THINGS

THAT YOU'LL REMEMBER.

HE LOVES ME, YOU KNOW?

BUT SOMETIMES PEOPLE CONFUSE OTHER THINGS FOR LOVE,

LIKE... NOT WANTING TO BE LONELY

OR... AFRAID OR HURT.

WE'RE HAVING A BABY TOGETHER.

I KNOW. AND YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE THAT BABY.

BUT NOT WITH GEORGE,

BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT YOUR DAUGHTER

TO GO THROUGH WHAT YOU WENT THROUGH,

BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT HIM

TO DO TO YOUR DAUGHTER WHAT HE DID TO YOU.

BECAUSE THAT'S NOT LOVE.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

JUST CHECKING UP ON YOU.

I THOUGHT MAYBE WE COULD TALK.

I WASTED THREE YEARS OF MY LIFE TALKING TO YOU.

I'M NOT WASTING ANYMORE.

YOU'RE UNHAPPY.

I CAN HELP YOU.

I AM JUST SO TIRED OF YOU HELPING ME.

WHERE HAS IT GOTTEN ME, HUH? LOOK AT ME.

I'M HERE ALONE IN A HOSPITAL ROOM

WITH A--WITH A HOLE IN MY HEAD.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE ALONE.

YOU HAVE HAD A RARE EXPERIENCE, CLAIRE.

YOU GOT TO LOOK THROUGH A DOOR TO THE OTHER SIDE OF YOUR SOUL.

AND NOW YOU'RE AFRAID.

YOU'RE AFRAID THAT DOOR IS CLOSED FOREVER.

BUT IT ISN'T.

IT'S--IT'S THERE WAITING FOR YOU.

YOU JUST HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO WALK THROUGH IT.

HOW DO YOU SUGGEST I DO THAT?

WE CAN TRY NEW THINGS,

ALTERNATIVE THERAPIES.

AND WE'D DO IT TOGETHER.

I'M AFRAID.

I KNOW.

HEY. WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG? I CALLED AN HOUR AGO.

I CAME AS SOON AS YOU CALLED. WHERE'S DINK? BAND PRACTICE. HE CAN'T HEAR HIS CELL.

CORINNE? SHE WENT TO SAN FRANCISCO TO VISIT A SICK AUNT.

SHE LEFT YOU HERE ALONE? MY DUE DATE'S NOT FOR THREE WEEKS.

SHE DIDN'T THINK I'D-- OH, MY GOD. THAT HURTS. WELL, YOU'RE DEFINITELY IN LABOR.

OKAY, I'LL TAKE YOU TO THE BIRTHING SUITE. I WANT TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL.

THAT'S NOT A PART OF THE PLAN. SCREW THE PLAN.

MAYA-- I'M NOT WAITING HERE!

I WANT TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL LIKE A NORMAL PERSON

WHERE THEY HAVE DOCTORS AND PAIN MEDICINE.

SO GET YOUR KEYS AND LET'S GO NOW.

OKAY?

LAINEY?

LAINEY?

L--

YOU THINK SHE'LL EVER GET OVER SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

HOW COULD SHE?

I MEAN, RIGHT OR WRONG,

SHE JUST LOST THE ONLY PERSON SHE LOVES.

HEY, DELL.

WHAT--HOLD ON. SHE WANTS ME TO DELIVER...

OH, OKAY.

HOW--HOW FAR APART ARE HER CONTRACTIONS?

IS THAT--IS IT M--

OKAY.

UH, YEAH, T-TELL HER THAT WE WILL MEET HER AT THE E.R.

AND, UM, AND T-TELL HER THAT WE LOVE HER, DELL.

OKAY. YEAH. DRIVE SAFELY.

BYE.

SO IT'S, UH, IT'S HAPPENING.

THIS IS HAPPENING. OH.

UH, I HAVE TO GO DELIVER YOUR GRANDCHILD. YES. YES, YOU DO.

OW! OH. WE'RE ALMOST THERE.

OH, OW!

HEY, W-- HEY.

WHAT'S SO IMPORTANT?

I HAVE... MACARONI AND CHEESE WITH SUGAR ON TOP,

EGGPLANT PARM, EXTRA SPICY,

STRAIGHT FROM TANA'S,

I HAVE PUMPKIN PIE, WHICH IS ACTUALLY

INCREDIBLY HARD TO GET THIS TIME OF YEAR,

AND I HAVE THAT SWEET SUGAR CANE STUFF

THAT WE DRANK IN THE SAN JOSE AIRPORT

THAT WE DIDN'T KNOW WAS ALCOHOL BUT MADE US INCREDIBLY DIZZY. GUARO!

GUARO! GUARO!

OKAY.

NOW...

TALK TO ME ABOUT CHARLOTTE.

YOU KNOW WHAT? CAN WE JUST EAT?

I SAW HER LEAVING WITH SHELDON.

SHE WAS DRESSED UP.

HMM.

DO YOU LOVE HER?

THEN GO GET HER.

NOW, COOPER.

I MEAN GO GET HER NOW.

OH!

OH.

ALL RIGHT.

OKAY.

NAOMI WILL BE HERE SOON.
