00:26I
00:28You know, we used to make things in this city. We made steel. We sent it down the river to become buildings and hulls for boats and 747s. And all the while, here at Sydney's Jazz Lounge, we made music.
00:46My father played on this stage with Lena Horne. We had culture. We made legends. And tonight on this stage, there's a legend to be made. Ladies and gentlemen, I have seen them all, but I have never seen anything like Annabelle Lee.
01:16And that's how it was. You know, that's really how it was.
01:41You play like that at 11 o'clock, and that talent scout from Atlantic won't know what hit him. He'll have no choice but to sign you.
01:49Scout? Signer, what you talking about, man? What is this, 1975?
01:54You still got record, scout. I got one coming on down to Pittsburgh.
01:58Fine, so there's something a little bit of CMU. But the point is that he's going to be here tonight.
02:05Annabelle, you all right?
02:07Yeah. Yeah, I'm just going to go splash some water on my face.
02:11She could go splash some water on my face, you know what I'm saying.
02:14So she's going to go out and I've got to find a few.
02:18No, no, no. You're going to the hospital.
02:24No, no, no, no. I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm not going to miss my shot just to sit in the ER for hours.
02:29You don't have to sit there. You can go in through the VIP, though. I just got a kid that works.
02:32No, not John. Not my son. I know the medical director over there. Mary will get you back on time.
02:39Yeah. Shinwell, take that to pathology.
02:43Hmm.
02:45Is there an issue?
02:47Usually when I take delivery of fingers in a bag, there are no doctors present.
02:51Or licensed ones, anyway.
02:54I see.
02:55I still don't get why the patient wouldn't have gone.
02:57There are obvious benefits to having six fingers on each hand.
03:00Well, I once had a competitive bowler tell me it was the secret to his topspin.
03:03Exactly. He had a leg up on his rivals.
03:05I think you've got your anatomy wrong there.
03:07I'm going to skip the amputated fingers banter if it's all the same to y'all.
03:11Do you mind if I go home? I have a video call with Uncle June to plan his visit.
03:15Uncle June.
03:16I can hear those scare quotes.
03:18How is he related to you again?
03:19He was married to my birth mother's younger sister.
03:21So not a blood relative.
03:23Convenient.
03:24I'm just saying it's harder to verify.
03:26Otherwise you could steal a hair and run his DNA.
03:28Hypothetically, of course.
03:29His wife died of leukemia early this year.
03:31I'm his only other family member in the States.
03:34But it's been nice.
03:35June's going to give me cooking lessons.
03:37He used to run his own Chinese place in New York.
03:38Has he mentioned other Sashas?
03:41June says that my birth mother is still in China.
03:43But he's just following my lead.
03:44So I figured I'd get to know him first.
03:46See where it goes from there.
03:47Okay, Sasha, you can go home.
03:48Shinwell, deliver those fingers.
03:50If anyone needs me, I'll be down in the ER.
03:52Is everything good?
03:53Hope so.
03:54My father just showed up there.
03:58He has a father?
04:00Hamish is fine.
04:01He's not the patient.
04:02It's his protege.
04:03He wanted me to bump them to the front of the line.
04:05I've already made arrangements, but I wanted to loop you in.
04:09Yeah, but why didn't he just call me?
04:10We have a good relationship.
04:12What?
04:13You both say that a lot.
04:15When's the last time you talked?
04:16Last Sunday.
04:17When I called my mother, he told me...
04:20All right, fine, fine.
04:21She told me that he wanted to invite me to a late night set at the club.
04:25Layla and I are going to try to make it.
04:26Well, thankfully, I am no longer the designated interpreter for the two of you.
04:31Look, he's in with the patient.
04:33If you want to know why he didn't call you, why don't you ask him yourself?
04:39How are you, Hamish?
04:41Hamish?
04:42What happened to Dad?
04:45A divorce judge happened.
04:46Forget about all that.
04:47Come give me a hug.
04:54Hey, Dad.
04:55John!
04:56Oh, good of you to come.
04:58It's, uh...
05:00Yeah.
05:01It's good to see you.
05:01I didn't want to pull you away from your research.
05:03Your mother's always talking about how busy you are.
05:06I'm saying mostly patients now, so...
05:09Yeah.
05:10So, yeah.
05:11Hey, Annabelle.
05:12Have the ER doctors been in here to see you yet?
05:14Uh, a resident came in and said she would be back soon.
05:18That was 30 minutes ago.
05:19Ooh.
05:20Someone needs to talk to management about that.
05:23Well, I can examine you now.
05:25Save you additional weight.
05:28How about I take you on a tour of you, Hop?
05:30Give you the lay of the land.
05:32Queen in her domain.
05:33More like an overworked administrator.
05:35He brags about you.
05:39To everybody.
05:40My son is the greatest geneticist in the world.
05:44He just can't tell you that.
05:46You gotta have something to work for after all.
05:48Yeah, you got that right.
05:50Well, anyway, it's good to see you again.
05:52I think the last time I saw you was at a recital when you were, like...
05:56Had to be about 12 years old.
05:58Oh.
05:59Yeah, don't remind me.
06:00Uh, I think 12 is when I peaked.
06:02But it's all been downhill from there.
06:04Tell me what happened tonight.
06:06Uh, I just got a little lightheaded and took a spill after the show, but I'm fine now.
06:11Did this happen when you fell?
06:13Uh, no.
06:14That was earlier.
06:15I tripped over a stand.
06:18Has there been anything else that's been bothering you recently?
06:21No.
06:23No?
06:24Not even the intermittent numbness in your right foot?
06:27The wear pattern on the soles are uneven.
06:36I'd say this has been going off, I don't know, maybe three, four months now.
06:40That's why you stumbled twice tonight.
06:43It went away.
06:45I mean, it always goes away after, like, a minute or two.
06:47But numbness and weakness could be signs of something more serious.
06:50Why would you hide those kinds of symptoms?
06:54There's a record scout coming to the show tonight.
06:56Hamish made it happen.
06:57I really have to get back on stage.
06:59I'm sorry, Annabelle.
07:00I need to run some more tests.
07:01I will come back right after my performance, and you can run whatever test you want.
07:06Yes.
07:07You've got to be careful.
07:08No, I'm admitting her to the hospital for an expedited workup.
07:10This has been going on for months, and it's just getting more severe.
07:13Tonight was evidence of that.
07:14That's why I didn't come to you first.
07:17Mary doesn't make mountains out of molehills.
07:20And neither do I.
07:20Annabelle passed out because she's dehydrated and tired.
07:24And I've seen it happen with musicians before.
07:26Once the show is over, she'll be fine.
07:29Can you help me here?
07:31No, I'm Switzerland, post-divorce version of Switzerland.
07:34I don't take sides.
07:35No, no, no, listen to me.
07:37Annabelle's talent is not going anywhere.
07:39Yes, you might know musicians, but I'm her doctor now.
07:42Worsening numbness and weakness means this isn't just fainting.
07:45And I'm not just going to let her walk out the door and risk her life because you want her to play music.
07:50Why would a 22-year-old musical prodigy develop recurrent numbness, weakness, and blackouts seemingly out of nowhere?
08:03Is the musical prodigy part relevant?
08:05Maybe yes, maybe no.
08:06You tell me.
08:07This is the part where we all trade ideas.
08:15We've all Googled you aggressively and extensively.
08:19Everybody knows that your father is a local legend.
08:22Why haven't you said anything?
08:23Why would I say anything?
08:24Hamish Watson is a renowned tenor saxophonist and jazz educator.
08:28Wikipedia says that he was mentored by John Coltrane.
08:32Is that why they named you John?
08:34You're not a musician, though.
08:35I played the alto saxophone.
08:37Same as Annabelle.
08:38But you don't play it now.
08:39Otherwise, he'd be invested in your career instead of hers.
08:43Is Hamish Watson disappointed in you?
08:46Let's focus on the patient.
08:47Not only is she suffering from physical decline, she's dealing with immense stress from her career.
08:53She has a major label eyeing her.
08:56She has a hard-driving mentor with some very unrelenting expectations.
09:00Can't imagine what that's like.
09:01I said it'd be too much for any one person to bear, but to deal with that at that young
09:05of an age, it's crushing.
09:08You're sure we're still talking about Annabelle?
09:09Stop.
09:10We have a good relationship.
09:13The differential, please.
09:15Could still be a stroke.
09:17Overnight CT is negative.
09:19But the definitive study for diagnosis is an MRI.
09:21An MRI could also help evaluate for multiple sclerosis.
09:23Multiple sclerosis, a young woman in her 20s with episodic weakness, it's practically textbook.
09:29MS is also worsened by emotional physical stress.
09:32Excellent point, Dr. Lubbock.
09:33The pressure from auditioning could have triggered that attack.
09:37Ingrid and Stevens, get an MRI.
09:39Check for stroke and multiple sclerosis.
09:41Sasha and Adam, go to Annabelle's apartment.
09:44See how she's been dealing with all this stress.
09:46Where are you going?
09:48I'm taking Shinwell to my father's club.
09:51Maybe we can find some clues.
09:59Woman, you are a lifesaver.
10:01You know you didn't have to sleep here overnight.
10:04John would have let you stay at his place.
10:06I promised Annabelle's parents I'd stay with her in the hospital.
10:09They're visiting her sister down in Australia.
10:12Yeah.
10:16That's my guy from Atlantic.
10:19He's going to be in town for a couple of days as he wants to come back to the club to see Annabelle.
10:23Ah, she must be special if he's willing to go through all that trouble.
10:26She ain't just special.
10:28She is it.
10:29When that child plays, she forces people to pay attention.
10:34It's like she's saying things for them that they can't say for themselves.
10:40You really think they'll sign her?
10:42Hmm.
10:43The label knows she can break through.
10:46She's a kid.
10:47A kid who wants to play jazz in 2025.
10:51She ain't no fossil with double hip replacements.
11:00Last night I thought I was going to sign my first record deal.
11:02Now I might have MS.
11:04How can I play the saxophone if I can't even lift my hands?
11:07I just thought I had more time.
11:14I thought I was just getting started.
11:16So, um, how does women become a musical prodigy?
11:20Anyway, did your parents start you young?
11:24No, Tiger Mom's here.
11:26My parents were too busy making ends meet.
11:28They didn't have time to think about our hobbies.
11:30It was Hamish.
11:35I was six.
11:36Mom got a second job as a receptionist at a music school.
11:39And I would sit on the benches and we had to finish work.
11:42I could hear Hamish giving lessons in his office and I would memorize the melodies he'd play.
11:52And then I would sing them back to myself and pretend I was playing too.
11:55He heard me one day and he told my mom I had a great year and he offered to teach me for free.
12:07He's been my teacher ever since.
12:09He helped me get a scholarship to Pitt and gave me a spot in his band after graduation.
12:14Doesn't sound like he gave you anything.
12:18You're wrong.
12:22If he hadn't heard me that day, I never would have known.
12:25I would just be singing in the shower.
12:30Hamish changed my life.
12:34This whole scene.
12:36My dad's club.
12:38Oh.
12:40If I can keep the club open for another six weeks and I can get Annabelle set up, it'll all be worth it.
12:49You're going under?
12:51Does John know?
12:52No, no, no, no.
12:53We're good.
12:53It's a club that's sick.
12:57Same as Annabelle.
13:00Is she going to be okay?
13:01John won't stop until he finds an answer.
13:03I get Sasha's excited, but this guy comes out of the woodwork claiming to be a relative and now she's inviting him into her home.
13:17She's done her homework on Uncle June.
13:20He doesn't have a criminal record.
13:22Everything he's told her so far checks out with the adoption paperwork.
13:24There are other ways he could have found that information.
13:26Look, I'm her boyfriend.
13:29I'll be her bodyguard, but only if she wants that.
13:32Listen, I've got my eye on the situation.
13:37But she's happy.
13:39I'm not getting in the way.
13:41Annabelle's MRI is done.
13:46There's no evidence of a mess or a stroke.
13:49What?
13:50It's completely negative.
13:51We're no closer to figuring out what's wrong with her.
13:53Oh, my God.
14:02J. Hamish Watson.
14:04The genius of the human genome.
14:06Eddie Hines.
14:07This is the master of the 88 keys.
14:10Yeah, right.
14:10Look how far that got me.
14:11I'm back here polishing stemware for the night shift.
14:14Shemuel Johnson.
14:15I'm Dr. Watson's assistant.
14:17A side man.
14:20Eddie Hines.
14:20Hamish's piano player and club manager.
14:23I've known your man since we were both 12.
14:25Yeah.
14:25You and Dr. Watson play music together?
14:27Oh, no, no.
14:28Hamish would never let me play with Eddie.
14:30This man has got some real talent.
14:32Talent which led me to polishing that stemware.
14:36Eddie, you mind if I look around?
14:37I'll be my guest, man.
14:39Listen, Eddie, did you notice anything strange about when Annabelle fell yesterday?
14:43Any type of abnormal movements that could be a seizure?
14:46I don't think so.
14:47What about when she was performing?
14:48Did you notice anything?
14:49I was just trying to remember the changes, man, so Hamish didn't have my heart.
14:52You know how he gets.
14:54Oh, don't I know it.
14:56Would it help for you to see a video?
14:58You recorded the performance?
14:59Hamish wanted it for the website.
15:01I'll go get it now.
15:02Oh, definitely.
15:03Long time, boy.
15:04Good to see you, man.
15:05Always good to see you.
15:11A lot of history here.
15:13Yes, man.
15:14Grandfather Sidney right there.
15:15He opened up this place after he stopped touring with Cold Train.
15:17And that's my father and my grandfather in the same picture.
15:20You don't talk about him much.
15:22You're dead.
15:25Heard all about your mom and the museum.
15:29Imagine it must have been difficult being you with a family like this.
15:34I was good at something.
15:37It took me a while to find it, but it's more than most people can get.
15:46Annabelle's apartment is so cool.
15:49Wow.
15:51There's nothing in this place that isn't geared towards music.
15:53It's like her sole mission in life.
15:56Stevens ever tell you about our junior high rock band?
15:59No.
16:00That's it, half the summer.
16:02I couldn't decide on my musical direction.
16:04I wanted to be Phish.
16:06You wanted to be The Strokes.
16:08And now you're back.
16:10Side by side at the Holmes Clinic.
16:12You made better doctors than musicians.
16:15What about you?
16:15Did you ever play anything as a kid?
16:18I begged my mom for singing lessons.
16:19Thought I'd be Leanne Rimes.
16:21Then I switched the next thing that caught my fancy.
16:25Dang.
16:26This girl makes residency look like vacation.
16:28Eight hours of practice on top of rehearsals.
16:32Even I couldn't handle that at 22.
16:37Screws on this outlet cover are stripped and there's wear on the plate.
16:42Looks like someone tried to open it.
16:44With a coin or maybe a butter knife.
16:49An outlet box is a good hiding place.
16:51I hear about them all the time in meetings.
16:53You bring that thing everywhere you go?
16:54Before Watson, I used to think doctors only carried stethoscopes.
17:06Oh.
17:07Adam, you good?
17:08I don't want to touch that.
17:10I think I know how Annabelle's been handling the pressure.
17:19Did you know about this?
17:27Don't be such a prude.
17:30A prude?
17:31A cocaine-induced TIA explains all of Annabelle's symptoms.
17:35The numbness, the weakness, the blackouts.
17:37Many strokes caused by drug use can even explain her negative MRI.
17:41Well, that's not what happened.
17:43You're a music teacher, not a doctor.
17:46You know, I have worked with dozens of strung out players.
17:53This is how they deal with the stress, the travel, the haunting.
17:58What's the haunting?
18:00There's the art form.
18:02There's standards.
18:03And there's you.
18:05The haunting is that feeling of not being able to measure up.
18:09I confronted Annabelle about this months ago.
18:12She stopped then and there.
18:13Oh, so that's like your professional opinion.
18:16You're confronted.
18:17Did you give her a drug test?
18:18This is so much fun.
18:20You two have a good relationship.
18:21Who wouldn't want to spend as much time as possible around that?
18:24John, if you're worried that Annabelle is still using cocaine,
18:27why don't you talk to her directly?
18:29What were you hoping cocaine would do for you?
18:34I wanted to play the way I'm supposed to play.
18:37If there's a powder or syringe that can help me do that,
18:40I'll try all of it.
18:42Why are you looking at me like that?
18:43Run your tests.
18:44I quit.
18:45And for the record, the numbness and the weakness,
18:49that all started before I got high.
18:51I was worried that my symptoms would start affecting my playing,
18:56and it was distracting me during shows.
18:58Everyone said coke helps you focus, so I tried it.
19:03Like I said, I'll try anything.
19:05You've been spending too much time around my father.
19:07Hamish?
19:09No, he turned his back on his talent.
19:11He gave up everything for you.
19:13What?
19:16Hamish could have been a legend.
19:19Instead, he's in Pittsburgh.
19:23I mean, I don't blame my father for this.
19:25We're doing fine.
19:26What's with the face?
19:29This is a perfectly neutral expression.
19:32I'm not mad at him.
19:33I'm not.
19:34I'm telling you, I'm not, okay?
19:35It's not my father.
19:37It's who?
19:41It's kind of silly.
19:42My problem is with the universe.
19:47Well, that's always a productive stance.
19:49I mean, look, he didn't do anything wrong.
19:51I just want to know when I can finally stand there with my father and feel like me.
19:57Who do you feel like now?
19:59Like an eight-year-old kid who knows he needs to get better at the auto sex.
20:03Annabelle's talk stream came back negative.
20:10She can't have done cocaine in the past five days.
20:14We're at a bit of a dead end.
20:16Figured we hit a fresh tomorrow.
20:17Mm-hmm.
20:20You good?
20:21I'm fine, Dr. Darian.
20:22Just spend some time with my patient.
20:24I'm fine, Dr. Darian.
20:54I refuse to ask for water.
20:59I take it, you've eaten many Hunanese food before.
21:04I'm fine.
21:05I'm fine.
21:06You know, spicy food runs in your blood.
21:08That's why our region produced so many revolutionaries.
21:12The chairman Mao Zedong was from Hunan, too.
21:15Wow.
21:15No wonder I can never win an argument with you.
21:20It's been special to share this time with you, Sasha.
21:23I've really enjoyed it, too.
21:25Thank you so much for coming all this way to see me.
21:27I want to give you this gift to Mark this occasion.
21:40Is that her?
21:44Is that my mom?
21:45Yes.
21:47You look remarkably like her.
21:51Oh, dear.
21:54Okay, okay, okay.
21:55You all right?
21:57Please, have some.
21:58Oh, those guys look familiar.
22:05Where are they from?
22:07Oh, um, I got a few moles removed to medical school.
22:10My physical exam lab partner, she pointed them out.
22:13Good thing she did, too.
22:15Doctor said it must have run my family.
22:16I remember your mother had something like that.
22:23I stopped touring after John was born.
22:27My dad asked if I wanted to take over the club.
22:30Seemed like a good idea at the time.
22:33Sometimes I wonder.
22:38Hey, John, come and join us.
22:40Shinwell and I pilfered your finest whiskey.
22:44No, it's no use.
22:45I know that face.
22:46Dr. Watson is in work mode.
22:49How does she do it?
22:50I mean, how does she physically do it?
22:55Well, she's playing in the altissimo register,
22:58the highest on the saxophone.
23:01In those notes,
23:03they require time to develop.
23:06It needs an increase in air and intensity.
23:09Why, what is it?
23:15It's music, her ambition.
23:17It's you.
23:19If I'm right,
23:20Annabelle's jazz career is killing her.
23:23Puff-a-smoke,
23:32or as the Japanese would call it,
23:34Moya Moya.
23:35She has Moya Moya disease.
23:36Very good, Dr. Darian.
23:37Now, would you care to explain what that is?
23:40Moya Moya is a rare disorder
23:42that results in the narrowing of a major blood vessel in her brain,
23:45which limits blood flow.
23:46The body forms abnormal collateral vessels to compensate.
23:48Like finding an alternate route home
23:50when there's traffic on the four-pit bridge.
23:52The Puff-a-smoke sign can only be seen on an angiogram,
23:56not an MRI,
23:56which is why it escaped our notice at first.
23:59How did you know to look for it?
24:00That video of her playing.
24:02Annabelle started getting dizzy at the end of her solo.
24:05It was something about how she was playing music
24:08that caused Annabelle to black out.
24:10She went to your dance, I helped.
24:11Yes, he explained that in order for her to hit the high notes,
24:14Annabelle had to increase the speed of air
24:16that she was sending to the saxophone.
24:17She blew up all her CO2.
24:19She was basically hyperventilating.
24:21Which decreased the flow to her already blood-starved brain.
24:25Yes, Annabelle is having many strokes,
24:27just not due to the drugs.
24:29Every time she pushes herself while playing,
24:32she puts herself at risk for another one.
24:33If this is Moya Moya,
24:35it's not just TIAs we need to be afraid of.
24:37We're lucky she hasn't had a major stroke by now.
24:39You're right.
24:41But the good news is,
24:43Moya Moya is one of the rare causes of stroke
24:45that is actually treatable.
24:47You want me to have brain surgery?
24:48You and I have different definitions of good news.
24:53A neurosurgeon can take part of the blood vessel from your scalp
24:56and reconnect it inside your brain.
24:58It will bypass the blockage from your Moya Moya.
25:01With a consistent blood supply,
25:04you shouldn't have any more numbness, weakness from the mini-strokes.
25:07And you'll also significantly reduce the risk of having a full-blown stroke.
25:10Isn't there something less invasive we could try first?
25:14Medications, maybe?
25:15I don't recommend that.
25:16Worsening neurologic symptoms means that your brain is already being impacted.
25:21But I feel fine outside of these episodes.
25:22I'm playing better than I ever have.
25:24I mean, I'll just take a break from high notes.
25:27That's not a fix, Annabelle.
25:28Plus, knowing you, that's not sustainable.
25:30If you mess with my brain, will it affect my musical abilities?
25:39The surgery would be on the left side of the brain.
25:42Music is mostly controlled by the right.
25:44Mostly.
25:46But not entirely.
25:47We think that musicality resides in the left brain.
25:57You want to remove the soul from my music?
25:59Okay, Annabelle, any effects from the surgery should be temporary.
26:03A stroke could result in permanent disability or even death.
26:06But you can't even say for sure that I'll have one.
26:08And if I do, it could be in five, ten years from now.
26:11I wouldn't take that bet if I were you.
26:13But can you guarantee that this surgery won't affect my talent?
26:15Because being a musician is so much more than just playing notes.
26:19It's about making people feel them.
26:23I'm sorry.
26:24I can't promise you that.
26:26It's brain surgery, Annabelle.
26:28Then I don't want it.
26:33Annabelle.
26:37You have your entire life ahead of you.
26:41You're more than just a musical prodigy.
26:45This is about staying alive.
26:51Haven't you ever wanted to change the world, Dr. Watson?
26:55Make your mark and leave this place better than you found it.
27:02I have.
27:02I can't save lives like you.
27:05But I can impact them with my music.
27:09I can bring people joy.
27:11I can bring them to tears just with the way that I play.
27:15But all of that goes away if you cut my talent out of my head.
27:18You okay?
27:29You've been distracted ever since dinner.
27:31I'm fine.
27:32I just...
27:33I can't stop thinking about my birth, Mom.
27:36What did your father say?
27:37Daddy wished I were still that baby he carried back to Dallas 35 years ago.
27:42That photo brought back all his memories.
27:45So it's definitely you, huh?
27:47Which means it's definitely her.
27:49There's just something else that Uncle June said that...
27:51People can have a second calling.
27:53Look at Shinwell.
27:54Look at me.
27:56I thought my life was over after my diving injury.
27:58Do not equate your situation to hers.
28:00You are a moderately talented collegiate athlete.
28:03She is a jazz virtuoso at 22.
28:05She could be the next Charlie Parker.
28:07I get it.
28:07She don't want to look back and wonder what might have been.
28:10I don't blame her.
28:11We all want our chance at greatness.
28:13That's why we work for Watson.
28:15Would you risk your intelligence, even if it meant saving your life?
28:17You guys are all wasting your time.
28:20Are we?
28:21We're trying to convince Annabelle to get the surgery.
28:23It's not her that we need to convince.
28:26It's him.
28:28Do you even realize the power that you have?
28:30What are you talking about?
28:32I own a failing jazz club and I'm living off your mother's savings.
28:35But none of that matters.
28:37Not to Annabelle.
28:39To someone who wants your approval, you are like music itself.
28:45Your opinion means everything to her.
28:47If you told her to have the more and more of surgery, she'd do it.
28:55Dad, this is her life.
29:00Music is her life.
29:03I know that that's important to her.
29:06But it's not the same thing.
29:08Okay?
29:09It can't be the same thing.
29:10She's afraid of losing something that is as vital to her as grieving.
29:16That's why she won't risk it.
29:18I'm sorry, John.
29:21I'm not going to pressure her into making that kind of decision.
29:25That's hers and hers alone.
29:27She's not making this decision for herself.
29:29She's making that decision for you.
29:31You wanted her to be this prodigy.
29:36You wanted her to uphold your legacy.
29:39And she wanted so badly to please you.
29:43She wouldn't put herself aside if it meant making you happy.
29:46If you care about her, if you really care about her, stop putting that burden on her and let her live her life.
29:55I told Annabelle what she could do, who she could be.
29:59She does not want to have the surgery, John.
30:06If you were a musician, you'd understand that.
30:15I was so happy when you wanted to have a lunch before I took the bus back.
30:20You did it.
30:22Something wrong, Sasha?
30:27I used to wonder what my birth mom looked like when I was a kid.
30:32Thanks to you, now I know.
30:36It's good to know family.
30:38That's how you know yourself.
30:45The skin condition I have, F-A-Triple-M, it's autosomal dominant.
30:50That means you only need one effective parent to inherit it.
30:53The other night, you said that she had it.
30:54But when I look at this picture again, I notice that my mother's shoulders were clear.
30:59That means she couldn't have given it to me.
31:02Which means you lied.
31:03Just like you lied about being my uncle.
31:06Why'd you do it?
31:08You found out my family had money, planned to ask for a little bit here and a little bit there,
31:12and the next thing I know, I'm out 50 grand?
31:14I can explain.
31:15I already have an explanation.
31:20Do not contact me again.
31:22Or else I'll call the police.
31:25I'm not your uncle.
31:28But I don't want the money.
31:29I have enough.
31:31Aren't you wondering how I got that photo of you and your birth mom?
31:35I know, I can find her identity.
31:44I'm lonely, Sarge.
31:46I'm alone.
31:48That's why I did this.
31:51If you ever want to see her, I can help.
32:02What did I say?
32:04Does he still want to come hear me play?
32:06He's coming to the club tomorrow evening on his way to the train station.
32:09Okay, I think I should start with Misty.
32:11He's going to be expecting a burner, so a ballot will really take him by surprise.
32:14It'll be like an homage to the hill.
32:20Annabelle, about this surgery.
32:24Maybe, maybe you should do it.
32:31Yeah, I mean, I'll think about it later.
32:34I might not get another chance.
32:38It's going to be okay.
32:39It's okay.
32:41I'm going to get some help.
32:43John?
32:46Something wrong I've had about.
32:54What happened?
32:56She wanted to play.
32:57Annabelle, you have to slow your breathing.
32:59Can you do that for me?
33:00All right, here we go.
33:01In.
33:02And down.
33:03Good job.
33:06Very good.
33:10Annabelle?
33:10Annabelle.
33:11What's wrong?
33:11John, John, John, what's wrong with her?
33:13She must have triggered a stroke.
33:14Get that crash car.
33:2322-year-old female with more and more disease.
33:25Symptoms are concerning for an acute stroke.
33:27Stephen, where are we with the bullets?
33:28I'm giving it now.
33:29Very good.
33:29We need to raise her blood pressure to promote the blood flow to her brain.
33:32If this is a stroke, it'll prevent it from spreading.
33:34Radiology knows we're coming.
33:35They've got the scanner ready for her.
33:36Everybody, get ready to move.
33:38John, where are you taking her?
33:39Because I really...
33:39I need you to step back.
33:40I can update you later, but right now, we need to save Annabelle's life.
33:43Yes, yes.
33:55I've been looking for you.
33:58John and his team were able to treat Annabelle for a stroke.
34:03She's sleeping in the ICU.
34:05You can see her if you like.
34:11John was right.
34:14I should have just said it.
34:15Do the surgery.
34:17There's still time.
34:18Call that damn pressure.
34:24I almost killed her with my selfishness.
34:30Oh.
34:34Mm-mm.
34:36Annabelle is special, Hamish.
34:40She knows that because of you.
34:42Don't try to make me feel better.
34:44You see the potential in people.
34:46Every kid needs to know that someone believes in them.
34:49And that's who you were for Annabelle.
34:53Wherever she goes from here, she'll have you to thank for that.
34:56What am I going to tell her parents?
35:01Tell her parents that your boy, John Watson, saved their daughter's life.
35:10Hmm.
35:11Hmm.
35:19Oh, no.
35:20Stay.
35:21Stay.
35:21Stay.
35:21You know, when you were a kid, I used to close my eyes during our lessons just to hear you play.
35:37Sometimes I forget that I was supposed to be teaching you.
35:42I'd tell myself this girl was touched by God with talent.
35:49And I was humbled.
35:51Humbled to see someone so bright who loved the music that meant so much to me.
36:00You made me believe that everything was possible again.
36:04I was wrong to do that.
36:16I was wrong because I made you think that was all that I cared about.
36:23And your music, your music wasn't the gift, Annabelle.
36:30The gift was always you.
36:34Now I'll have the surgery.
36:58We are not going to study mucus, Adam.
37:00It's a waste of valuable clinic resources.
37:02The mucinome's already being used to develop experimental treatments that could one day
37:06replace antibiotics, or is that what you're afraid of?
37:09I'm obviously a patient on a follow-up visit.
37:11Tell Annabelle I'll break a leg.
37:13My father's saving seats in front for all of you.
37:15We wouldn't miss it.
37:15Unless these two keep us hostage all night to argue about snot.
37:18Watson.
37:19Hmm.
37:19One more thing.
37:21Father's Wikipedia page.
37:23Someone updated it.
37:24Hey, Miss Watson is the father of noted geneticist John Watson.
37:32It was Sasha's idea.
37:33The internet should be accurate.
37:38Squeeze these fingers as hard as you can.
37:41All right?
37:44I'm doing okay?
37:45I'm going to be okay?
37:46You're doing better than okay.
37:47You're doing amazing.
37:49Go get what's yours.
37:50You've earned it.
37:50You think the scouts are going to show up tonight?
38:04Yeah, I do.
38:05I do.
38:06Annabelle's life is going to change after tonight.
38:09Hmm.
38:12You going to watch the show?
38:13Yeah, I'm coming with Layla.
38:15Mary's bringing a date.
38:15The fellows are coming, too.
38:16Hmm.
38:18Hmm.
38:20Listen, can I, um...
38:24Son, do you really have to ask?
38:26That was pretty good, kid.
38:54Not bad.
38:56Not bad.
38:57Should I try again, Dad?
38:59Absolutely.
39:00Go on, John.
39:02Just make it easier on my ears.
39:04Yeah, I can hear that.
39:06I wouldn't mind my head being a little crazy.
39:09Okay, we're just going to blow it.
39:10I see you, son.
39:15I stood in that room when Annabelle was dying, watched you tell everyone what had to happen.
39:25Watched you save the life of a 22-year-old.
39:29Annabelle wouldn't be playing tonight if you weren't there.
39:31It's taken way too long.
39:35It's taken way too long.
39:39But I see you now.
39:41I brag on you.
39:43I know what it means to have a kid as a doctor at U-Hop.
39:47But I see you now.
39:52Yeah, but I am a horrible musician.
39:54Thank God for small mercies.
39:57The world saved you for something bigger.
40:06I'm going to go take on Annabelle.
40:09Yeah.
40:10Yeah.
40:10I'm going to go take on Annabelle.
40:28We'll see you soon.
40:29Bye.
40:33Bye.
