00:00You know we used to make things in this city we made steel we sent it down the
00:28river to become buildings and halls for boats and 747s and all the while here at sydney's jazz lounge
00:38we made music my father played on this stage with lena horn we had culture we made legends and
00:48tonight on this stage there's a legend to be made ladies gentlemen i have seen them all but i have
00:54never seen anything like annabelle lee
00:59okay
01:04so
01:09But that's how it was, you know, that's really how it was.
01:37You play like that at 11 o'clock, and that talent scout from Atlantic won't know what hit him.
01:42He'll have no choice but to sign you.
01:44Scout?
01:45Signer, what you talking about, man?
01:47What is this, 1975?
01:49You still got record, scout.
01:50I got one coming on down to Pittsburgh.
01:53Fine, so I'm a little bit seeing you.
01:56But the point is that he's going to be here tonight.
02:00Annabelle, you all right?
02:02Yeah.
02:03Yeah, I'm just going to go splash some water in my face.
02:07She's going to go splash some water in my face.
02:08I'm so upset.
02:09So she's going to go out.
02:11Got to find it.
02:13No, no, you're going to the hospital.
02:19No, no, no, I'm fine.
02:20I'm fine.
02:21I'm not going to miss my shot just to sit in the ER for hours.
02:24You don't have to sit there.
02:25You can go in through the VIP, though.
02:26Hamish's got a kid that works good.
02:27No, not John.
02:29Not my son.
02:30I know the medical director over there.
02:31Mary will get you back on time.
02:34You shouldn't want to take that to pathology.
02:38Hmm.
02:40Is there an issue?
02:42Usually when I take delivery of fingers in a bag, there are no doctors present.
02:46Or licensed ones, anyway.
02:49I see.
02:50I still don't get why the patient wouldn't have gone.
02:52There are obvious benefits of having six fingers on each hand.
02:55Well, I once had a competitive bowler tell me it was the secret to his topspin.
02:59Exactly.
02:59He had a leg up on his rivals.
03:00I think you've got your anatomy wrong there.
03:02I'm going to skip the amputated fingers banter if it's all the same to y'all.
03:06Do you mind if I go home?
03:07I have a video call with Uncle June to plan his visit.
03:10Uncle June.
03:11I can hear those scare quotes.
03:13How is he related to you again?
03:14He was married to my birth mother's younger sister.
03:16So not a blood relative.
03:18Convenient.
03:19I'm just saying it's harder to verify.
03:21Otherwise you could steal a hair and run his DNA.
03:23Hypothetically.
03:24Of course.
03:24His wife died of leukemia early this year.
03:26I'm his only other family member in the States.
03:29But it's been nice.
03:30June's going to give me cooking lessons.
03:32He used to run his own Chinese place in New York.
03:33Has he mentioned other Sashas?
03:36June says that my birth mother is still in China.
03:38But he's just following my lead.
03:39So I figured I'd get to know him first.
03:41See where it goes from there.
03:42Okay.
03:42Sasha, you can go home.
03:44Shinwell, deliver those fingers.
03:45If anyone needs me, I'll be down in the ER.
03:47Is everything good?
03:48Hope so.
03:49My father just showed up there.
03:50He has a father?
03:55Hamish is fine.
03:56He's not the patient.
03:57It's his protege.
03:58He wanted me to bump them to the front of the line.
04:00I've already made arrangements, but I wanted to loop you in.
04:04Yeah, but why didn't he just call me?
04:05We have a good relationship.
04:06What?
04:08You both say that a lot.
04:10When's the last time you talked?
04:12Last Sunday, when I called my mother, he told me...
04:15All right, fine, fine.
04:16She told me that he wanted to invite me to a late-night set at the club.
04:20Layla and I are going to try to make it.
04:22Well, thankfully, I am no longer the designated interpreter for the two of you.
04:26Look, he's in with the patient.
04:28If you want to know why he didn't call you, why don't you ask him yourself?
04:31How are you, Hamish?
04:36Hamish?
04:38What happened to Dad?
04:40A divorce judge happened.
04:41Forget about all that.
04:42Come give me a hug.
04:49Hey, Dad.
04:50John!
04:51Oh, good of you to come.
04:54It's good to see you.
04:56I didn't want to pull you away from your research.
04:58Your mother's always talking about how busy you are.
05:01I'm saying mostly patients now, so...
05:04Yeah.
05:05So, um...
05:06Hey, Annabelle.
05:07Have the ER doctors been in here to see you yet?
05:09Uh, a resident came in and said she would be back soon.
05:13That was 30 minutes ago.
05:14Ooh, someone needs to talk to management about that.
05:18Well, I can examine you now.
05:20Save you additional weight.
05:23How about I take you on a tour of you, Hop?
05:25Give you the lay of the land.
05:27Queen and her domain.
05:28More like an overworked administrator.
05:30He brags about you to everybody.
05:35My son is the greatest geneticist in the world.
05:39I just can't tell you that.
05:41You gotta have something to work for after all.
05:43Yeah, you got that right.
05:45Well, anyway, it's good to see you again.
05:47I think the last time I saw you was at a recital when you were, like, happy about 12 years old.
05:52Oh, yeah, don't remind me.
05:55Uh, I think 12 is when I peaked.
05:57It's all been downhill from there.
06:00Tell me what happened tonight.
06:01Uh, I just got a little lightheaded and took a spill after the show, but I'm fine now.
06:06Did this happen when you fell?
06:08Uh, no.
06:09That was earlier.
06:10I tripped over a stand.
06:13Has there been anything else that's been bothering you recently?
06:16No.
06:18No?
06:19Not even the intermittent numbness in your right foot?
06:25The wear pattern on the soles are uneven.
06:31I say this has been going on for, I don't know, maybe three, four months now.
06:35That's why you stumbled twice tonight.
06:38It went away.
06:40I mean, it always goes away after, like, a minute or two.
06:42But numbness and weakness could be signs of something more serious.
06:47Why would you hide those kinds of symptoms?
06:49There's a record scout coming to the show tonight.
06:51Hamish made it happen.
06:52I really have to get back on stage.
06:54I'm sorry, Annabelle.
06:55I need to run some more tests.
06:56I will come back right after my performance,
06:59and you can run whatever test you want.
07:01Yes.
07:02You've got to be kidding.
07:03No, I'm admitting her to the hospital for an expedited workup.
07:06This has been going on for months,
07:07and it's just getting more severe.
07:08Tonight was evidence of that.
07:09That's why I didn't come to you first.
07:12Mary doesn't make mountains out of molehills.
07:15And neither do I.
07:16Annabelle passed out because she's dehydrated and tired.
07:19And I've seen it happen with musicians before.
07:21Once the show is over, she'll be fine.
07:24Can you help me here?
07:26No, I'm Switzerland, post-divorce version of Switzerland.
07:29I don't take sides.
07:30No, no, no.
07:31Listen to me.
07:32Annabelle's talent is not going anywhere.
07:34Yes, you might know musicians, but I'm her doctor now.
07:37Worsening numbness and weakness means this isn't just fainting.
07:40And I'm not just going to let her walk out the door and risk her life
07:43because you want her to play music.
07:50Why would a 22-year-old musical prodigy develop recurrent numbness,
07:54weakness, and blackouts seemingly out of nowhere?
07:58Is the musical prodigy part relevant?
08:00Maybe yes, maybe no.
08:02You tell me.
08:02This is the part where we all trade ideas.
08:10We've all Googled you aggressively and extensively.
08:14Everybody knows that your father is a local legend.
08:17Why haven't you said anything?
08:18Why would I say anything?
08:19Hamish Watson is a renowned tenor saxophonist and jazz educator.
08:24Wikipedia says that he was mentored by John Coltrane.
08:26Is that why they named you John?
08:29You're not a musician, though.
08:30I played the alto saxophone.
08:32Same as Annabelle.
08:33But you don't play it now.
08:34Otherwise, you'd be invested in your career instead of hers.
08:38Is Hamish Watson disappointed in you?
08:40Let's focus on the patient.
08:42Not only is she suffering from physical decline,
08:45she's dealing with immense stress from her career.
08:48She has a major label eyeing her.
08:51She has a hard-driving mentor with some very unrelenting expectations.
08:55I can't imagine what that's like.
08:57It'd be too much for any one person to bear.
08:59But to deal with that at that young of an age, it's crushing.
09:03Are you sure we're still talking about Annabelle?
09:05Stop.
09:06We have a good relationship.
09:08The differential, please.
09:10Could still be a stroke.
09:12Overnight CT is negative.
09:14But the definitive study for diagnosis is an MRI.
09:16An MRI could also help evaluate for multiple sclerosis.
09:19A young woman in her 20s with episodic weakness is practically textbook.
09:24MS is also worsened by emotional physical stress.
09:27Excellent point, Dr. Levick.
09:28The pressure from auditioning could have triggered that attack.
09:32Ingrid and Stevens, get an MRI.
09:34Check for stroke and multiple sclerosis.
09:36Sasha and Adam, go to Annabelle's apartment.
09:39See how she's been dealing with all this stress.
09:42Where are you going?
09:43I'm taking Shinwell to my father's club.
09:46Maybe we can find some clues.
09:47Woman, you are a lifesaver.
09:57You know you didn't have to sleep here overnight.
09:59John would have let you stay at his place.
10:01I promised Annabelle's parents I'd stay with her in the hospital.
10:04They're visiting her sister down in Australia.
10:07This is my guy from Atlantic.
10:14He's going to be in town for a couple of days as he wants to come back to the club to see Annabelle.
10:18She must be special if he's willing to go through all that trouble.
10:21She ain't just special.
10:23She is it.
10:24When that child plays, she forces people to pay attention.
10:29It's like she's saying things for them that they can't say for themselves.
10:33You really think they'll sign her?
10:37Hmm.
10:39The label knows she can break through.
10:41She's a kid.
10:42A kid who wants to play jazz in 2025.
10:46She ain't no fossil with double hip replacements.
10:55Last night I thought I was going to sign my first record deal.
10:57Now I might have MS.
10:59How can I play the saxophone if I can't even lift my hands?
11:03I just thought I had more time.
11:09I thought I was just getting started.
11:11So, um, how does one become a musical prodigy?
11:15Anyway, did your parents start you young?
11:19No, Tiger Mom's here.
11:21My parents were too busy making ends meet.
11:23They didn't have time to think about our hobbies.
11:25It was Hamish.
11:30I was six.
11:31Mom got a second job as a receptionist at a music school.
11:34And I would sit on the benches and wait for her to finish work.
11:37I could hear Hamish giving lessons in his office and I would memorize the melodies he'd play.
11:47And then I would sing them back to myself and pretend I was playing too.
11:50He heard me one day and he told my mom I had a great year and he offered to teach me for free.
12:02He's been my teacher ever since.
12:04He helped me get a scholarship to Pitt and gave me a spot in his band after graduation.
12:09Doesn't sound like he gave you anything.
12:11I mean, you're wrong.
12:17If he hadn't heard me that day, I never would have known.
12:20I would just be singing in the shower.
12:25Hamish changed my life.
12:29This whole scene.
12:31My dad's club.
12:33Oh.
12:35If I can keep the club open for another six weeks and I can get Annabelle set up.
12:41It'll all be worth it.
12:45You're going under?
12:46Does John know?
12:47No, no, no, no.
12:48We're good.
12:49It's the club that's sick.
12:52Same as Annabelle.
12:55Is she going to be okay?
12:56John won't stop until he finds an answer.
13:05I get Sasha's excited.
13:07But this guy comes out of the woodwork claiming to be a relative and now she's inviting him into her home.
13:13She's done her homework on Uncle June.
13:15He doesn't have a criminal record.
13:17Everything he's told her so far checks out with the adoption paperwork.
13:19There are other ways he could have found that information.
13:22Look, I'm her boyfriend.
13:25I'll be her bodyguard, but only if she wants that.
13:27Listen, I've got my eye on the situation.
13:32But she's happy.
13:34I'm not getting in the way.
13:37Annabelle's MRI is done.
13:41There's no evidence of a mess or a stroke.
13:44What?
13:45It's completely negative.
13:47We're no closer to figuring out what's wrong with her.
13:48Oh, my God.
13:57J. Hamish Watson.
13:59The genius of the human genome.
14:01Eddie, this is the master of the 88 keys.
14:05Yeah, right.
14:05Look how far that got me.
14:06I'm back here polishing stemware for the night shift.
14:09Shemmo Johnson.
14:10I'm Dr. Watson's assistant.
14:13A side man.
14:14Eddie Hans, Hamish's piano player and club manager.
14:18I've known your man since we were both 12.
14:20Yeah.
14:21You and Dr. Watson play music together?
14:22Oh, no, no.
14:23Hamish would never let me play with Eddie.
14:25This man has got some real talent.
14:27Talent which led me to polishing that stemware.
14:31Eddie, you mind if I look around?
14:32I'll be my guest, man.
14:34So, listen, Eddie, did you notice anything strange about when Annabelle fell yesterday?
14:38Any type of abnormal movements that could be a seizure?
14:41Don't think so.
14:42What about when she was performing?
14:43I mean, did you notice anything?
14:44I was just trying to remember the changes, man, so Hamish didn't have my heart.
14:48You know how he gets it.
14:49Oh, don't I know it.
14:51Would it help for you to see a video?
14:53You recorded the performance?
14:54Hamish wanted it for the website.
14:56I will get it now.
14:57Oh, definitely.
14:58Long time, boy.
14:59Good to see you, man.
15:00Always good to see you.
15:06A lot of history here.
15:08Yes, man.
15:09Grandfather Sidney right there, he opened up this place after he stopped touring with Coltrane.
15:12Going to ask my father and my grandfather in the same picture.
15:15You don't talk about him much.
15:17You're dead.
15:20Heard all about your mom and the museum.
15:24Imagine it must have been difficult being...
15:26You, with a family like this.
15:31I was good at something.
15:32It took me a while to find it, but...
15:36It's one of the most we can get.
15:41Annabelle's apartment is so cool.
15:42Wow.
15:46There's nothing in this place that isn't geared towards music.
15:48It's like her sole mission in life.
15:51Stevens ever tell you about our junior high rock band?
15:54No.
15:55That's at half the summer.
15:57I couldn't decide on my musical direction.
15:59I wanted to be Fish.
16:01You wanted to be the Strokes.
16:03And now you're back.
16:05Side by side at the Holmes Clinic.
16:07You made better doctors than musicians.
16:09What about you?
16:10Did you ever play anything as a kid?
16:13I begged my mom for singing lessons.
16:14Thought I'd be Leanne Rimes.
16:16Then I switched the next thing that caught my fancy.
16:20Dang.
16:21This girl makes residency look like vacation.
16:24Eight hours of practice on top of rehearsals.
16:27Even I couldn't handle that at 22.
16:32Screws on this outlet cover are stripped.
16:34There's wear on the plate.
16:35It looks like someone tried to open it.
16:40With a coin or maybe a butter knife.
16:44An outlet box is a good hiding place.
16:46I hear about them all the time in meetings.
16:48You bring nothing everywhere you go?
16:51Before Watson, I used to think doctors only carried stethoscopes.
17:01Oh.
17:02Adam, you good?
17:04I don't want to touch that.
17:05I think I know how Annabelle's been handling the pressure.
17:19Did you know about this?
17:22Don't be such a prude.
17:25A prude.
17:26A cocaine-induced TIA explains all of Annabelle's symptoms.
17:30The numbness, the weakness, the blackouts.
17:32Many strokes caused by drug use could even explain her negative MRI.
17:36Well, that's not what happened.
17:38You're a music teacher, not a doctor.
17:41You know, I have worked with dozens of strung out players.
17:47This is how they deal with the stress, the travel, the haunting.
17:54What's the haunting?
17:55There's the art form.
17:57There's standards.
17:58And there's you.
18:00The haunting is that feeling of not being able to measure up.
18:03I confronted Annabelle about this months ago.
18:07She stopped then and there.
18:09Oh, so that's like your professional opinion you confronted.
18:12Did you give her a drug test?
18:13This is so much fun.
18:15You two have a good relationship.
18:16Who wouldn't want to spend as much time as possible around that?
18:19John, if you're worried that Annabelle is still using cocaine, why don't you talk to her directly?
18:24What were you hoping cocaine would do for you?
18:29I wanted to play the way I'm supposed to play.
18:32If there's a powder or syringe that can help me do that, I'll try all of it.
18:37Why are you looking at me like that?
18:38Run your tests.
18:39I quit.
18:41And for the record, the numbness and the weakness, that all started before I got high.
18:46I was worried that my symptoms would start affecting my playing, and it was distracting me during shows.
18:53Everyone said coke helps you focus, so I tried it.
18:58Like I said, I'll try anything.
19:00You've been spending too much time around my father.
19:02Hamish?
19:04No, he turned his back on his talent.
19:06He gave up everything for you.
19:09What?
19:11Hamish could have been a legend.
19:14Instead, he's in Pittsburgh.
19:18Man, I don't blame my father for this.
19:20We're doing fine.
19:23What's with the face?
19:24This is a perfectly neutral expression.
19:27I'm not mad at him.
19:28I'm not.
19:29I'm telling you, I'm not.
19:30Okay?
19:30It's not my father.
19:32It's who?
19:36It's kind of silly.
19:39My problem is with the universe.
19:42Well, that's always a productive stance.
19:44I mean, look, he didn't do anything wrong.
19:46I just want to know when I can finally stand there with my father and feel like me.
19:52Who do you feel like now?
19:54Like an eight-year-old kid who knows he needs to get better at the auto sex.
19:58Annabelle's talk stream came back negative.
20:05She can't have done cocaine in the past five days.
20:09We're at a bit of a dead end.
20:11Figured we hit a fresh tomorrow.
20:12Mm-hmm.
20:15You good?
20:16I'm fine, Dr. Darian.
20:17Just spend some time with my patient.
20:19I'm fine.
20:49I refuse to ask for water.
20:54I take a young eating many Hunanese food before.
20:59I'm fine.
21:01You know, spicy food runs in your blood.
21:03That's why our region produced so many revolutionaries.
21:07The Chairman Mao Zedong was from Hunan, too.
21:10Wow.
21:10No wonder I can never win an argument with you.
21:15It's been special to share this time with you, Sasha.
21:18I've really enjoyed it, too.
21:20Thank you so much for coming all this way to see me.
21:22I want to give you this gift to Mark this occasion.
21:27Is that her?
21:39Is that my mom?
21:40Yes.
21:42You look remarkably like her.
21:44Oh, dear.
21:48Okay, okay, okay.
21:50You all right?
21:52Please, have some.
21:58Oh, those guys look familiar.
22:00Where are they from?
22:01Oh, um, I got a few moles removed to medical school.
22:05My physical exam lab partner, she pointed them out.
22:08Good thing she did, too.
22:10Doctor said it must have ruined my family.
22:12I remember your mother had something like that.
22:14I stopped touring after John was born.
22:22My dad asked if I wanted to take over the club.
22:25Seemed like a good idea at the time.
22:29Sometimes I wonder.
22:33Hey, John, come and join us.
22:35Shinwell and I pilfered your finest whiskey.
22:39No, it's no use.
22:40I know that face.
22:41Dr. Watson is in work mode.
22:44How does she do it?
22:45I mean, how does she physically do it?
22:50Well, she's playing in the altissimo register,
22:54the highest on the saxophone.
22:56In those notes,
22:58they require time to develop.
23:01It needs an increase in air and intensity.
23:08Why? What is it?
23:09It's music, her ambition,
23:12it's you.
23:14If I'm right,
23:16Annabelle's jazz career is killing her.
23:18Puff-a-smoke,
23:27or as the Japanese would call it,
23:29Moya-moya.
23:30She has Moya-moya disease.
23:31Very good, Dr. Darian.
23:32Now, would you care to explain what that is?
23:35Moya-moya is a rare disorder
23:37that results in the narrowing of a major blood vessel in her brain,
23:40which limits blood flow.
23:41The body forms abnormal collateral vessels to compensate.
23:44Like finding an alternate route home
23:45when there's traffic on the four-pit bridge.
23:46The puff-a-smoke sign can only be seen on an angiogram,
23:51not an MRI,
23:51which is why it escaped our notice at first.
23:54How did you know to look for it?
23:55That video of her playing.
23:57Annabelle started getting dizzy at the end of her solo.
24:00It was something about how she was playing music
24:03that caused Annabelle to black out.
24:05She went to your dance to help.
24:07Yes, he explained that in order for her to hit the high notes,
24:09Annabelle had to increase the speed of air
24:11that she was sending to the saxophone.
24:12She blew up all her CO2.
24:14She was basically hyperventilating.
24:16Which decreased the flow to her already blood-starved brain.
24:20Yes, Annabelle is having many strokes,
24:22just not due to the drugs.
24:24Every time she pushes herself while playing,
24:27she puts herself at risk for another one.
24:29If this is Moya-moya,
24:30it's not just TIAs we need to be afraid of.
24:32We're lucky she hasn't had a major stroke by now.
24:34You're right.
24:36But the good news is,
24:38Moya-moya is one of the rare causes of stroke
24:40that is actually treatable.
24:42You want me to have brain surgery?
24:45You and I have different definitions of good news.
24:48A neurosurgeon can take part of the blood vessel from your scalp
24:51and reconnect it inside your brain.
24:53It will bypass the blockage from your Moya-moya.
24:57With a consistent blood supply,
24:59you shouldn't have any more numbness,
25:00weakness from the mini-strokes.
25:02And you'll also significantly reduce the risk
25:04of having a full-blown stroke.
25:06Isn't there something less invasive we could try first?
25:09Medications?
25:09I don't recommend that.
25:11Worsening neurologic symptoms means that your brain
25:14is already being impacted.
25:16But I feel fine outside of these episodes.
25:17I'm playing better than I ever have.
25:19I mean, I'll just take a break from high notes.
25:22That's not a fix, Annabelle.
25:23Plus, knowing you, that's not sustainable.
25:30If you mess with my brain,
25:32will it affect my musical abilities?
25:33The surgery would be on the left side of the brain.
25:37Music is mostly controlled by the right.
25:39Mostly.
25:41But not entirely.
25:45We think that musicality
25:48resides in the left brain.
25:51You want to remove the soul from my music?
25:54Annabelle, any effects from the surgery
25:56should be temporary.
25:58A stroke could result in permanent disability
26:00or even death.
26:01But you can't even say for sure that I'll have one.
26:03And if I do, it could be in
26:04five, ten years from now.
26:06I wouldn't take that bad if I were you.
26:08But can you guarantee that this surgery
26:09won't affect my talent?
26:10Because being a musician is so much more
26:12than just playing notes.
26:14It's about making people
26:15feel them.
26:16I'm sorry.
26:19I can't promise you that.
26:21It's brain surgery, Annabelle.
26:23Then I don't want it.
26:28Annabelle.
26:32You have your entire life ahead of you.
26:36You're more than just a musical prodigy.
26:41This is about staying alive.
26:43Haven't you ever wanted to change the world,
26:48Dr. Watson?
26:50Make your mark and leave this place
26:52better than you found it.
26:57I have.
26:58I can't save lives like you.
27:00But I can impact them
27:01with my music.
27:04I can bring people joy.
27:06I can bring them to tears
27:07just with the way that I play.
27:10But all of that goes away
27:11if you cut my talent out of my head.
27:21You okay?
27:24You've been distracted
27:25ever since dinner.
27:26I'm fine.
27:27I just...
27:28I can't stop thinking
27:30about my birth mom.
27:31What did your father say?
27:33That he wished I were still
27:34that baby he carried back
27:35to Dallas 35 years ago.
27:37That photo brought back
27:38all his memories.
27:40So it's definitely you, huh?
27:42Which means it's definitely her.
27:44There's just something else
27:45that Uncle June said that...
27:46I'm just saying.
27:46People can have a second calling.
27:48Look at Chinwell.
27:49Look at me.
27:51I thought my life was over
27:52after my diving injury.
27:53Do not equate your situation
27:55to hers.
27:55You are a moderately talented
27:57collegiate athlete.
27:58She is a jazz virtuoso at 22.
28:00She could be the next Charlie Parker.
28:02I get it.
28:02She don't want to look back
28:04and wonder what might have been.
28:05I don't blame her.
28:06We all want our chance
28:07at greatness.
28:08That's why we work for Watson.
28:10Would you risk your intelligence
28:11even if it meant saving your life?
28:13You guys are all
28:14wasting your time.
28:15Are we?
28:16Trying to convince Annabelle
28:17to get the surgery.
28:18It's not her
28:19that we need to convince.
28:21It's him.
28:23Do you even realize
28:24the power that you have?
28:25What are you talking about?
28:27I own a failing jazz club
28:29and I'm living off
28:29your mother's savings.
28:30But none of that matters.
28:32Not to Annabelle.
28:34To someone
28:34who wants your approval
28:36you are like
28:37music itself.
28:40Your opinion
28:40means everything to her.
28:42If you told her
28:44to have the more and more surgery
28:46she'd do it.
28:50Dad.
28:51Hmm?
28:52This is her life.
28:53Music
28:56is her life.
28:58I know
28:59that that's important to her.
29:01But it's not the same thing.
29:03Okay?
29:04It can't be the same thing.
29:05She's afraid
29:06of losing something
29:07that is as vital to her
29:09as grieving.
29:11That's why
29:12she won't risk it.
29:15I'm sorry, John.
29:16I'm not going to pressure her
29:18into making
29:18that kind of decision.
29:20That's hers
29:20and hers alone.
29:21She's not making
29:23this decision for herself.
29:24She's making
29:25that decision for you.
29:28You wanted her
29:30to be this prodigy.
29:31You wanted her
29:32to uphold your legacy.
29:34And she wanted
29:35so badly
29:37to please you
29:38she would have
29:38put herself aside
29:39if it meant
29:40making you happy.
29:42If you care about her
29:44if you really
29:45care about her
29:47stop putting that burden
29:49on her
29:49and let her live her life.
29:50I told Annabelle
29:51what she could do
29:53who she could be.
29:55She does not
29:57want to have
29:58the surgery, John.
30:01If you were a musician
30:02you'd understand that.
30:09I was so happy
30:11when you wanted
30:12to have lunch
30:13before I took
30:13the bus back.
30:14something wrong, Sasha?
30:23I used to wonder
30:24what my birth mom
30:25looked like
30:25when I was a kid.
30:27Thanks to you
30:28now I know.
30:31It's good
30:32to know family.
30:33That's how
30:34you know
30:34yourself.
30:35The skin condition
30:41I have
30:42F-A-Triple-M
30:43it's
30:43autosomal dominant.
30:45That means
30:45you only need
30:46one effective parent
30:47to inherit it.
30:48The other night
30:48you said that
30:49she had it.
30:49But when I look
30:50at this picture again
30:51I notice that
30:52my mother's shoulders
30:53were clear.
30:54That means
30:54she couldn't
30:54have given it
30:55to me.
30:57Which means
30:57you lied.
30:58Just like you lied
30:59about being my uncle.
31:01Why'd you do it?
31:03You found out
31:04my family had money
31:05planning to ask
31:06for a little bit here
31:06and a little bit there
31:07and the next thing
31:08I know I'm out
31:0850 grand?
31:09I can explain.
31:10I already have
31:10an explanation.
31:15Do not contact me again.
31:17Ross will call the police.
31:20I'm not your uncle.
31:23But I don't want
31:24the money.
31:25I have enough.
31:26Aren't you wondering
31:27how I got that photo
31:28of you and your birth mom?
31:30I know
31:31I can find
31:32her identity.
31:34I'm lonely, Sasha.
31:42I'm alone.
31:44That's why
31:44I did this.
31:46If you ever
31:46want to see her,
31:47I can help.
31:53Good.
31:57What did I say?
31:59Does he still
31:59want to come hear me play?
32:01Yeah, he's coming
32:02to the club tomorrow evening
32:03on his way to the train station.
32:04Okay, I think I should
32:05start with Misty.
32:06He's going to be expecting
32:06a burner, so a ballad
32:07will really take him
32:08by surprise.
32:09It'll be like
32:09an homage to the Hill.
32:15Annabelle,
32:15about this surgery.
32:20Maybe,
32:21maybe you should do it.
32:23Yeah, I'll think
32:27about it later.
32:29I might not get
32:31another chance.
32:33It's going to be okay.
32:34It's okay.
32:36I'm going to get some help.
32:38John?
32:41There's something
32:42wrong with Annabelle.
32:42What happened?
32:51She wanted to play.
32:52Annabelle,
32:53you have to slow
32:54your breathing.
32:54Can you do that for me?
32:55All right, here we go.
32:56Good job.
33:01Very good.
33:05Annabelle?
33:05Annabelle.
33:06What's wrong?
33:06John, John,
33:07John, what's wrong with her?
33:08She must have
33:08triggered a stroke.
33:09Get that crash car.
33:1822-year-old female
33:19with more and more disease.
33:20Symptoms are concerning
33:21for an acute stroke.
33:22Steven, where are we
33:23with the bolus?
33:23I'm getting in now.
33:24Very good.
33:24We need to raise
33:25her blood pressure
33:25to promote the blood flow
33:26to her brain.
33:27If this is a stroke,
33:28it'll prevent it from spreading.
33:29Radiology knows we're coming.
33:30They've got the scanner
33:31ready for her.
33:31Everybody, get ready to move.
33:33John, where are you taking her?
33:34Because I really...
33:34I need you to step back.
33:36I can update you later,
33:36but right now,
33:37we need to save Annabelle's life.
33:38Yes, yes.
33:39I've been looking for you.
33:53John and his team
33:54were able to treat
33:55Annabelle four-stroke.
33:58She's sleeping in the ICU.
34:00You can see her
34:01if you'd like.
34:04John was right.
34:09I should have just said it.
34:11Do the surgery.
34:12There's still time.
34:13Call that damn pressure.
34:19I almost killed her
34:21with my selfishness.
34:23Annabelle is special, Hamish.
34:35She knows that because of you.
34:37Don't try to make me feel better.
34:39You see the potential in people.
34:41Every kid needs to know
34:42that someone believes in them.
34:44And that's who you were for Annabelle.
34:46wherever she goes from here,
34:50she'll have you to thank for that.
34:53What am I going to tell her parents?
34:58Tell her parents
34:59that your boy,
35:01John Watson,
35:03saved their daughter's life.
35:05Oh, no, stay.
35:16Stay.
35:24Yeah, when you were a kid,
35:26I used to close my eyes
35:29during our lessons
35:30just to hear you play.
35:32Sometimes I forget
35:35that I was supposed
35:35to be teaching you.
35:38I'd tell myself
35:40this girl
35:42was touched by God
35:44with talent.
35:45And I was humbled.
35:47Humbled to see
35:49someone so bright
35:51who loved the music
35:53that meant so much to me.
35:55You made me believe
35:57that everything
35:57was possible again.
35:59Mm-hmm.
36:02I was wrong to do that.
36:11I was wrong
36:12because I made you think
36:14that was all
36:15that I cared about.
36:18And your music,
36:20your music
36:21wasn't the gift, Annabelle.
36:25The gift
36:26was always you.
36:28I'll have the surgery.
36:42We are not going
36:54to study mucus, Adam.
36:55It's a waste
36:56of valuable clinic resources.
36:58The mucinome's
36:58already being used
36:59to develop experimental treatments
37:00that could one day
37:01replace antibiotics,
37:02or is that what
37:02you're afraid of?
37:04I'm obviously a patient
37:05on a follow-up visit.
37:06Tell Annabelle
37:07I'll break your leg.
37:08My father's saving seats
37:09in front for all of you.
37:10We wouldn't miss it
37:10unless these two
37:11keep us hostage
37:12all night to argue
37:12about snot.
37:13Watson,
37:14one more thing.
37:16Father's Wikipedia page.
37:18Someone updated it.
37:20Hey, Miss Watson
37:21is the father of
37:22noted geneticist
37:24John Watson.
37:27It was Sasha's idea.
37:29The internet
37:29should be accurate.
37:33Now squeeze these fingers
37:34as hard as you can.
37:36All right?
37:37I'm doing okay?
37:40I'm going to be okay?
37:41You're doing better
37:42than okay.
37:42You're doing amazing.
37:44Go get what's yours.
37:45You've earned it.
37:45Okay.
37:48Hey.
37:53Oh.
37:53That's good.
37:57You think the scouts
37:57are going to show up tonight?
37:59Yeah, I do.
38:00I do.
38:01Annabelle's life
38:02is going to change
38:02after tonight.
38:04Hmm.
38:04Hmm.
38:04You going to watch the show?
38:08Yeah, I'm coming with Layla.
38:10Mary's bringing a date.
38:10The fellows are coming, too.
38:12Hmm.
38:13Hmm.
38:16Listen, can I, um...
38:19Son, do you really have to ask?
38:21Hmm.
38:21Hmm.
38:34That was pretty good, kid.
38:50Not bad.
38:51Not bad.
38:52Should I try again, Dad?
38:54Absolutely.
38:55Go on, John.
38:57Just make it easier on my ears.
38:59Yeah, I can hear it.
39:00I wouldn't mind
39:02having a real amazing...
39:04Okay, we're just going to blow it.
39:09I see you, son.
39:12I stood in that room
39:13when Annabelle was dying.
39:16Watched you tell everyone
39:17what had to happen.
39:20Watched you save the life
39:22of a 22-year-old.
39:24Annabelle wouldn't be playing tonight
39:25if you weren't there.
39:26It's taken way too long.
39:34But I see you now.
39:36I brag on you.
39:38I know what it means
39:39to have a kid as a doctor
39:41at U-Hop.
39:42But I see you now.
39:47Yeah, but I am
39:47a horrible musician.
39:49Thank God for small mercies.
39:52The world saved you
39:54for something bigger.
39:56I'm going to go take on Annabelle.
40:04Yeah.
40:05Yeah.
40:18Yeah.
40:19Yeah.
