00:16All right, here we go.
00:18You guys.
00:19Hey.
00:22I mean, honestly, we don't even know what to say.
00:27Thank you doesn't really feel adequate.
00:30Well, it was clearly meant to be.
00:32This is your baby.
00:36And look, I hope you don't mind us asking,
00:39but how'd you come to the decision?
00:41Um, well, we obviously had a lot we had to figure out about us first.
00:47I already lost to Marley once because I was an idiot.
00:51And, uh, I just couldn't lose her again.
00:55I just, I thought that if I'd committed to the baby,
00:58that that would, like, fix us.
01:02But, I mean, he's not a fix.
01:04We just had to be honest with ourselves
01:06about whether or not we could give him the life
01:08that we thought he deserved.
01:11And the honest answer is that we can't.
01:14We're just not ready.
01:16Um, I do have one request.
01:20Yeah, anything.
01:22Can we go back to the original birth plan?
01:24Will you be my midwife and deliver the baby?
01:27Absolutely.
01:28Now, do we have your word
01:30that you're going back to school?
01:33You're already sounding like a dad, Jack.
01:35Oh.
01:35Yeah.
01:36And, yeah, once the baby's born,
01:38we're moving to Sacramento.
01:39I hadn't even thought about you guys leaving.
01:43I'd...
01:43You know, obviously, we're...
01:46we're gonna keep in touch.
01:47We'll send you photos and videos of the baby.
01:52Not for a while.
01:57We're set in our decision,
01:58but it's not gonna be easy.
02:00So, um...
02:01So I'm gonna need a little time.
02:04Sure.
02:05Okay.
02:06We'll just...
02:07We'll follow your lead.
02:10And after he's born, um...
02:15We'd prefer not to see him.
02:17And we hope you understand
02:18it's not because we don't care.
02:20So...
02:23So that's why I want you
02:25to be the first faces that he sees
02:26and the first voices that he hears.
02:29That's the beginning I want for him.
02:33And for you.
03:05I forgot just how well I sleep when I'm next to you.
03:14I miss this.
03:16I'm sorry it took me so long to get us back here.
03:19Mm-mm.
03:20It does not matter.
03:23You're here now.
03:24Mm-mm.
03:27You know, it does matter.
03:30You know, this feels different.
03:32It feels more real.
03:35It feels more real.
03:36Just this.
03:38Us.
03:41But choosing each other for the right reasons is time.
03:46About this.
03:49Um...
03:49What is this exactly?
03:55We haven't really talked about that, have we?
03:59No.
04:00There hasn't been much talking.
04:03No.
04:04No.
04:06I don't want to screw this up.
04:08This means a lot to me.
04:11Me too.
04:14Okay.
04:16So, why don't we just hit reset?
04:19Start fresh.
04:20You know?
04:20Be more intentional with each other this time.
04:23Yeah.
04:23Kind of like we're dating all over again for the first time,
04:27but for the benefit of everything that we learned.
04:31I like that.
04:32Yeah.
04:36So, uh...
04:37Because...
04:38We are now...
04:41Dating...
04:42Again...
04:42Mm-hmm.
04:44I got a question for you.
04:46Okay.
04:47A question.
04:48Mm-hmm.
04:50Would you go to Founder's Day with me?
04:54Founder's Day?
04:55Yeah.
04:56Yeah.
04:57It would make this public.
04:59And...
04:59I guess that's what I'm asking.
05:02Can you know that?
05:10Hold that thought.
05:12Uh...
05:12Oh.
05:14Hi.
05:14Hey.
05:15How's it going?
05:16Good.
05:16Hope we're not bothering you.
05:19Uh...
05:20No.
05:20Not at all.
05:22How are you guys?
05:23What's going on?
05:24How it had to go with Marley and Eamon?
05:25Well, uh...
05:28Oh, my God.
05:30They want to move forward with the adoption, so...
05:32That's incredible.
05:34I know.
05:35You guys are finally going to be parents.
05:37Yeah.
05:38Oh.
05:38And I'm going to be an aunt.
05:40You are.
05:40And, well, let's be honest, no offense, Joey, Donna, and Mary, but I'm going to be the cool aunt, okay?
05:44I'm going to have candy in my purse all the time.
05:45I'm always going to let him stay up past his bedtime.
05:48Okay.
05:48You are definitely not babysitting.
05:49All right, fine.
05:50Well, don't worry about the legal part, okay?
05:52I called her adoption agency this morning.
05:54We'll get that conversation going again.
05:55Great.
05:56Thanks.
05:56Well, we appreciate it.
06:01Oh.
06:04It...
06:05I...
06:06I'm sorry.
06:06Are we interrupting something?
06:08You can come out.
06:10You're busted.
06:14Hey.
06:15Hey.
06:16Sorry to interrupt the moments, and congratulations.
06:21Yeah.
06:22Yeah.
06:23Seems like congratulations all around.
06:26Yeah.
06:27Yeah.
06:32Oh, you have done it again, Mayor McRae.
06:36Well, if today doesn't inspire the town to do the right thing, I don't know what will.
06:42Mayor?
06:44Mayor?
06:45Okay.
06:46Okay.
06:46So, uh, don't panic.
06:48I wasn't planning to.
06:49Oh, that's good.
06:50You could panic if you wanted to.
06:51Not like a full-blown panic attack, but I prepare for a mild freak-out if I...
06:55Yeah.
06:55You're scaring me and annoying me.
06:57I'm sorry.
06:58I'm sorry.
06:58Gladys called.
06:59She and Greg have the flu.
07:00Oh, I'll give him a call.
07:01Yeah, great.
07:02Anyway, they can't run the bonnet booth.
07:07Why aren't you freaking out?
07:08Because this is fixable.
07:11Just pull Dina and some of the materials from the quilting booth and combine them.
07:15Combine them?
07:16That's genius.
07:18Oh, Mayor, you are good in a crisis.
07:21You're like a young Margaret Thatcher.
07:23You know that?
07:24Mm-hmm.
07:24Yeah, yeah.
07:25Okay, let's go.
07:27No, this way.
07:27Come on.
07:27Over here.
07:28Follow me.
07:29God, I miss Lizzie.
07:31I'll be right back.
07:36Doug, can I help you with that?
07:38I am perfectly capable.
07:43This isn't about the horse, is it?
07:46I already explained it all to him.
07:48Horse or no horse.
07:49You have insinuated yourself back in my wife's life.
07:52And I want you to know I don't like it.
07:54And I don't trust you.
07:56Not one little bit.
08:00We have a problem?
08:02No, no.
08:03Not as long as you remember your place.
08:05My place?
08:07If you want to talk about my place,
08:10let me remind you that you are standing in my place.
08:12And I expect a little more respect.
08:14Oh, really?
08:15Respect?
08:16Respect is something that is earned.
08:18Boys, boys, boys.
08:20I'm going two minutes.
08:21Vernon, don't you have a clinic to get back to?
08:24Oh, I do.
08:25I do.
08:25But I just wanted to complete my conversation about respect.
08:28Be-
08:35You have nothing to worry about.
08:46Um...
08:50At this age, really?
08:52He started it.
09:16Welcome to your first Virgin River event.
09:18This place is really unreal.
09:20See, I told you.
09:22So do they do this kind of thing often or all the time?
09:26Yeah, okay.
09:27Hey, Jack.
09:29Enjoying the festivities?
09:31Oh, I got to check in at the Chuck Wagon.
09:33So you four have fun.
09:34See you later.
09:37All right.
09:38What do you guys want to do first?
09:39They have, um...
09:40They have candle making.
09:41Uh-huh.
09:42They have blacksmithing.
09:45Uh...
09:46Oh, no way.
09:47I think I see a sign for Sassper Willabar.
09:49I've always wanted to try that.
09:50Okay, all right.
09:51Okay, Sassper Willabar it is.
09:52There you go.
09:53Hey, Eamon, can you slow down a bit, please?
09:56I'm walking for two here.
09:58Uh-huh.
10:07Denny, you're losing good gold.
10:08It's harder than it looks.
10:10Will stop swirling so aggressively?
10:12You think you can do better?
10:14Be my guest.
10:15Oh, my hands are a little full.
10:16Mm-hmm.
10:17Why don't I take Coco for a little while?
10:19Give you two some alone time?
10:25You made it out today.
10:27No pressure.
10:32Okay.
10:34Here you go.
10:36Coco.
10:38Coco.
10:39Coco.
10:40Coco.
10:40I can't even introduce you to the town.
10:43Oh.
10:45Oh.
10:50It's cold.
10:51Come on.
10:52Come on.
10:58Oh.
11:00Oh.
11:03That's cold.
11:03Come on.
11:04Great.
11:05May the best pen win.
11:07Woo!
11:12Man, I cannot believe you are officially going to be a dad.
11:15Uh, thanks, brother.
11:17I can't believe this is going to be our last town event together.
11:20Uh, stop talking unless you want tears in the food.
11:22I need eight trail box bison burgers, two cheddar grits, four sides of prairie fries, and one hasty pudding.
11:29Right.
11:29Oh, man, they are loving this Westwood Fair.
11:32All right, let me give you a hand with that.
11:33Yeah, that's a lot.
11:39Well, you know, I'm happy for you, man, I really am, but, uh, it's not going to be the same
11:44without you.
11:48You remember when you offered me the job?
11:51Sure.
11:53That's when you first came up here to visit me, right?
11:55Yeah.
11:56Completely lost in life.
11:59Didn't know which way was up.
12:00Yeah, I remember.
12:03I gave you a tour of the bar.
12:06I hadn't even finished it yet.
12:07I was so proud to show you my menu.
12:09I can't believe I thought Sliders was revolutionary.
12:12Come on, now.
12:13Everybody loves mini burgers.
12:15Yeah, what?
12:16Did you start talking about, like, kale salad and brioche grilled cheese?
12:21I thought you were going to laugh me out of the place.
12:23Ah, come on.
12:23I trusted you.
12:27You made more than a menu, you know, you made that bar a place where everyone felt like they had
12:35a seat at the table.
12:36So, thank you.
12:43Well, you gave me a job.
12:46You know, a new life here.
12:49You know, you had my back and I'll never forget that.
12:53Hey, we had a good run, right?
12:55Here's to whatever comes next.
13:04So, the settlers finally crossed the Sierra Nevada mountains in the summer of 1875, weary from travel, but still searching
13:13for something they had not yet found.
13:15A place to rest.
13:17A place to build.
13:18A place of hope.
13:24I'm dying of thirst.
13:34Well, I reckon we're close to something.
13:37Yeah, death.
13:42Now, now, wait, wait, wait.
13:43I hear something.
13:45I hear water.
13:57Oh, thank heavens you found a river.
14:05No, no I didn't.
14:07I found a home.
14:09Well, what do we call it?
14:10Well, this place is so beautiful and pristine.
14:15That's it.
14:16We'll call it Virgin River.
14:24Not sure Pastor McCoy is gonna like that very much.
14:30All right, let's go.
14:31Go.
14:32Go, go, go.
14:32Move.
14:38Hey, are you okay?
14:40Oh, yeah.
14:41Just can't seem to get comfortable for some reason.
14:45Over 50 years later, after they settled, the people of Virgin River faced their biggest threat.
14:58Mountains' on fire!
15:01What do we do?
15:02Come on.
15:04Go.
15:15Even as the chief and only member of the fire department,
15:19I can't put this fire out alone.
15:25Did you hear?
15:27Come on now, people.
15:28Grab those buckets.
15:29Let's go.
15:30Let's go.
15:42Our pride in our town saved the community
15:45and became the foundation it was built on.
15:59Finally, in 1984, our first and only mayor, Hope McCray,
16:04officially led the incorporation of our town.
16:09I've lived in this town my whole life.
16:12I've seen it grow, change, stumble, and get back up again.
16:17Through it all, we have never forgotten the importance
16:20of self-sufficiency, tradition, and community.
16:37Every year, Founders Day gives us a reason to pause, reflect,
16:42and remember where we came from and where we're going.
16:47As some of you know, there are some folks, not from here,
16:50who look at our little slice of heaven and see opportunity,
16:55not community.
16:56We don't need people to come here saying they want to fix
17:00what was never broken in the first place.
17:07Because Virgin River is not just a dot on a map, it's our home.
17:14And it's up to us to make sure it stays just that,
17:19now and for every generation to come.
17:26Please sign this petition to protect Virgin River
17:31from outside corporations.
17:38Who's first?
17:43May I have the honors?
17:46You may.
17:47May.
17:54Thank you, Roland.
17:56Thank you, Roland.
17:58Thank you, Roland.
18:30So where are Marley and Eamon now?
18:33Uh, candle making, I think.
18:35They are really going all in on this Founders Day.
18:39Yeah.
18:40Yeah, kind of like you two and your whittling.
18:42Oh, well, there is nothing better than making something special out of a block of wood with
18:47a sharp knife.
18:48Yeah.
18:49Yeah.
18:50Must be a boy thing.
18:52So have you and Jack decided yet on a name for my grandson?
18:56Uh, no, not yet.
18:58You know, I have always been partial to the name Vernon.
19:03Have you?
19:03Oh, Vernon.
19:04Okay.
19:05No way.
19:06Everett.
19:07No, no, that's a name.
19:07Mel.
19:08Yeah.
19:09Uh, we might be ready to go home.
19:10Oh.
19:11Are you okay?
19:12I don't know.
19:13I just, I'm having a tough time catching my breath.
19:15Do you feel like you're having contractions?
19:17No, no, no, no, just the, just the breathing.
19:20I don't know.
19:33I don't know.
19:36I don't know.
19:38It's just the first reservation at your new joint.
19:40Yeah, deal.
19:42Which reminds me, this is the buyout agreement.
19:48All you got to do is sign it, get it back to me and I'll take care of the rest.
19:56Hey, Jack.
19:57Uh, Mel needs you.
19:59Is everything all right?
20:00Uh, yeah, yeah.
20:01It's Marley.
20:11And for us, we're a guy who rides a motorcycle and not a horse.
20:15Beginner's luck.
20:16No.
20:16Your turn.
20:17Okay.
20:18Uh, let me, uh, let me help you out.
20:20So, uh, what do you want to do?
20:23You're just trying to get in my head.
20:25That's definitely not what I'm trying to get in my head.
20:27Okay, you know what?
20:28What?
20:29This is a family event.
20:30Okay.
20:31We'll keep it, uh, PG.
20:39Oh!
20:39Whoa!
20:40Are you kidding?
20:41What can I say?
20:43You're not good.
20:44I'm not good.
20:48Oh.
20:48Oh, wow.
20:53Do I have to put out another fire today?
20:56Does this mean what I think it means?
21:00No cow fire.
21:02No cow fire.
21:04I'm so happy for you guys.
21:06Oh, thanks.
21:08Um, can we talk about this outfit right now?
21:11Yeah.
21:11Absolutely not.
21:12I mean, you were great up there, Chief.
21:13Are you Broadway bound, or...?
21:15I will settle for the sewing circle.
21:18Oh.
21:18Oh, yes.
21:20Oh, nice.
21:20That really completes it.
21:21I gotta get one for me.
21:26So, any regrets?
21:28About the sarsaparilla?
21:30No, about staying a few extra days.
21:33Well, my boss didn't seem too happy at first, until I explained the circumstances.
21:38What, uh, what circumstances are those?
21:41That I reconnected with this really hot cop I had a crush on a few years ago, and, uh, he
21:46asked me out on a date, and I couldn't say no.
21:49You're pretty honest with your boss.
21:51She's used to it.
21:52Yeah.
21:55Honestly, I'm actually gonna miss this place.
21:59Well, hey, you can, you can come back and visit, anytime.
22:03You ever get back down to L.A.?
22:05I haven't really had a reason to.
22:15Until now.
22:23Um, how about a hasty pudding?
22:26No.
22:27Alright, uh, let's head honesty.
22:29Sorry.
22:30Love it.
22:45Ah.
22:48There he is.
22:52Yeah.
22:53There's his little hand, right there.
23:02Okay, so I'm gonna measure your amniotic fluid.
23:06It's most likely why you're having abdominal pain and shortness of breath.
23:09I was hoping it was the prairie fries.
23:12You know, the fact that I'm roughly the size of a house.
23:16Well, it's not the prairie fries.
23:20Normal amniotic pockets measure two to four centimeters.
23:25Okay.
23:26Yours is at eight.
23:28Yours is at eight.
23:29You have polyhydramnios.
23:31It's an excess of amniotic fluid.
23:34Okay.
23:35So what do we do?
23:36I mean, can we drain it?
23:37I'm so close to my due date.
23:38We can get you some relief, but polyhydramnios sometimes means that there's something going
23:45on with the baby.
23:47Like what?
23:48Well, we don't know.
23:49The only way to be certain is to use more advanced equipment than we have here.
23:53So do we go to Grace Valley?
23:56No.
23:57I think I know somewhere closer.
24:06Dr. Hayes?
24:08Dr. Mullins, do I need to brace myself for round two?
24:11I see you brought backup this time.
24:13Circumstances have changed.
24:14We need your help.
24:16Ah, and you came here looking for the resources that we have readily available.
24:20Listen.
24:22We have a woman, 22.
24:25She's full term with polyhydramnios.
24:27She's our birth mother.
24:28We're worried something could be wrong with the baby.
24:30Can you please just, just help us?
24:35Please.
24:38We have the capacity to do a 40-fetal ultrasound in the unit.
24:42Great.
24:43All right, I'm gonna go get Marley.
25:06Mel, would you prefer to leave this?
25:11Yes.
25:36You mind giving us a moment?
25:37We'd like to talk to Marley in private.
25:39We're all in this together.
25:40So they can stay.
25:44Um, so we know what's going on with the baby.
25:48He has super-o inferior ventricles.
25:54It's a rare congenital heart defect where the two ventricles are positioned one above the other rather than side by
26:01side.
26:01Basically, his heart is struggling to pump blood effectively to the rest of his body, and since his body's working
26:08overtime, just to keep up with that circulation, he hasn't been able to absorb the amniotic fluid the way he
26:14should.
26:14Is he gonna be okay?
26:16Well, he'll have to have an operation, um, most likely a series of them.
26:23The goal is to reroute his blood and take the pressure off of his heart, and it's complex, but there
26:30is a path forward.
26:32These surgeries are rare for Grace Valley, so I'd recommend doing a quick search for a specialist to perform the
26:38procedure.
26:39I'm happy to start calling around right now.
26:41Please.
26:41Maybe we could work together on that, Dr. Hayes?
26:44Sure.
26:48Hey.
26:50Is Marley gonna be okay?
26:52Yes, yes, Marley.
26:53You're gonna be fine.
26:54Mel, Jack.
26:55I'm so sorry.
26:56Oh, my gosh.
26:57No, no, no, no.
26:57No, no, you don't.
26:58It's okay.
26:58It's okay.
26:59You don't have to do this.
27:00I can call the agency.
27:01You're under no obligation.
27:03Marley, listen to me.
27:05We are just gonna focus on the health of that baby right now, okay?
27:11Marley.
27:12Hey.
27:13Look at me.
27:15It's gonna be okay.
27:18It's gonna be okay.
27:19Okay.
27:44How are we gonna do this?
27:56We just keep going.
27:58Yeah, there's no guarantee how long this baby's life might be.
28:01I know, but there's never any guarantee with anything in life.
28:06You know, we both not have.
28:09Hey.
28:12This is our baby.
28:27This is our baby.
28:43This is our baby.
28:44It's our baby.
28:53This is our baby.
29:20We got the signatures for the ordinance.
29:25There's no way Grace Valley
29:28is ever stepping one foot in our town.
29:32What's wrong?
29:36Well, Mel and Jack,
29:39they got some unfortunate news today.
29:43The baby they're adopting has a congenital heart defect.
29:47Oh, no.
29:49Yeah.
29:51Is the baby gonna be okay?
29:54We don't know.
29:55They have some big decisions to make,
29:57and the good news is we caught it early.
30:01That's good.
30:02Yeah.
30:04And we caught it with the help of Dr. Hayes.
30:09Guess he's good for something.
30:11Yeah.
30:15And, you know, I've been thinking that maybe
30:18having him and Grace Valley here,
30:22that might be good too.
30:24What?
30:24I mean, not me working for the hospital, but working with them.
30:30You can't be serious.
30:33You left that world for a reason, Vernon.
30:36You know how they work.
30:37You can't care about people and money at the same time.
30:41That's been the cornerstone of the clinic.
30:43Yeah.
30:44You know, and I know it wouldn't be easy,
30:46but if I'm gonna do what's best for this community,
30:51maybe it's...
30:55It's the both of us working together.
30:59What do you mean, together?
31:01Well, he and I talked about a possible partnership.
31:05Talked?
31:08You've already had these discussions without me.
31:12Well, Hope, I haven't seen you all day.
31:14I mean, and I'm talking to you now.
31:16I thought it was us against the world, Vernon.
31:20It is?
31:21Bullshit.
31:25I fought tooth and nail for you and your legacy,
31:30and you gave up the fight
31:31without even having the decency to talk to me first.
31:34You knew exactly what you were doing,
31:38and you did it anyway.
31:40Oh, that is not fair.
31:41No, no, this is fair!
31:47The future of the clinic is now in your hands.
31:50And while you're thinking about it,
31:53why don't you sleep there tonight?
32:08Yeah.
32:12Okay, so I just got off the phone with Dr. Hayes.
32:15He and Doc talked to the Heart Institute
32:19at Children's Hospital Los Angeles,
32:21and they've agreed to do the surgery.
32:24That's good, right?
32:26I mean, they're the best in the country.
32:29Okay.
32:30But they want to move quickly.
32:34How quickly?
32:35They want us to drive to L.A. first thing in the morning.
32:39We'll induce at Cedars.
32:41I used to work there, so I still have delivery privileges.
32:44Then they will transfer him to Children's
32:47and perform the procedure there.
32:52Tomorrow?
32:54Yeah.
33:03What do you think?
33:07Okay.
33:08Okay.
33:14Let's do it.
33:36Oh.
33:37I brought you something.
33:40Here.
33:42What's this?
33:43My father.
33:45I can't throw him away, apparently.
33:47You can have each other.
33:49What the hell's getting into you?
33:51Vernon is partnering with Grace Valley.
33:54Despite all my efforts and everything it will mean for the town,
33:58he sold me out.
34:01What is it? Am I just a sucker?
34:03No.
34:04You're not a sucker.
34:06Then explain why this has happened to me three times in my life now.
34:11Where the men I loved the most screwed me over,
34:15including my own father.
34:19He didn't screw you over.
34:20Oh, stop defending him.
34:23Hope.
34:24It's not what you think.
34:26Really? Enlighten me.
34:29I can't.
34:31I mean a promise to Mac.
34:34Maybe you could ask his permission.
34:41McCray Timber was doomed to fold.
34:50What?
34:51What are you talking about?
34:57Your father.
34:59He got that place so under water that there was just no beating out the competition from the bigger outfits.
35:10It was dying on the vine.
35:12And he didn't tell me because of his pride.
35:16Because he knew you would fight for it.
35:20And he knew that you would just go down with the ship.
35:25He just loved you too much to let that happen.
35:32He loved you so much, Hope.
35:37Why didn't he just tell me this?
35:41Why didn't you?
35:43Because I knew he was right.
35:47And because I loved you too.
35:56I still knew.
35:57I still knew.
36:21I could see here and call her in.
36:23I don't know what he meant to be.
36:27I don't know anything.
36:33Yeah, you're a good boy.
36:37Yeah.
36:40Hey.
36:41Hey.
36:46Yeah, I'm just saying goodbye.
36:51Yeah.
36:53You okay?
36:54Yeah.
36:56Yeah, yeah, they're happy tears.
37:03He's gonna have a beautiful life here.
37:06I know it.
37:09He will.
37:11Yeah.
37:17Okay, let's go.
37:38You're up early.
37:39Couldn't sleep.
37:41Why?
37:42Because I can't stop thinking about you.
37:46I know you said you gotta work, but you also gotta eat.
37:50So what do you say?
37:52Spring by tonight?
37:53Make you dinner?
37:54I miss you doing that for me.
37:56I say yes.
37:58Perfect.
37:59I'll see you then.
38:09I'll see you then.
38:10Hi.
38:11We have Marley Thurston.
38:12The surgeon from Children's is here, and he wanted to speak with you all first.
38:16Okay.
38:21Okay.
38:28So, how's it been back?
38:31I don't know.
38:33It's like going back to high school.
38:36All those old feelings just rush back like they never left.
38:41Marley Thurston?
38:44Oh.
38:46Mel?
38:46Eli.
38:49What?
38:50Wait.
38:51You.
38:52Got old?
38:53No.
38:53Yeah.
38:54You, on the other hand, haven't aged a day.
38:56Sorry.
38:57You two know each other?
38:59Um, do you remember the doctor that I told you about that I worked with in Nurses Beyond Borders?
39:05The arrogant one you fell in love with?
39:07Oh, arrogant, huh?
39:09But I was still lovable.
39:11Uh, Jack, uh, Eli, this is my husband, Jack.
39:16Oh, good to meet you.
39:17Good to meet you, too, Jack.
39:18And just so we're clear, that was a lifetime ago.
39:20Oh, I think that's pretty clear.
39:22Great.
39:22So, why don't I start over?
39:24I'm Dr. Eli Kelly, pediatric cardiothoracic surgeon from Children's.
39:29I've dedicated my life to helping families just like yours.
39:32I've lived in this exact moment and done this procedure more times than I can count.
39:37And, um, I'm pretty good at counting.
39:40So, super-o-inferior ventricles is serious.
39:45Now, I could give you a mountain of stats and diagrams and medical jargon that would make this a little
39:51more palatable.
39:52But when it's your baby, this diagnosis is a tough pill to swallow no matter what.
40:00So, I'm just going to give it to you straight.
40:03This is going to be hard.
40:06I can promise you that.
40:08Maybe one of the hardest things you've ever been through.
40:12But the other thing I can promise you is that I will save your baby's life.
40:50Falling in slow motion, deeper than the ocean.
40:55And I was always hoping you'd wait.
41:02Underneath the weight of something in the water
41:07That I can see a shimmer fade
41:14Stay, stay, stay, stay, don't fade away.
41:48I could be the reason
41:50The changing of the seasons
41:53The fire when you're freezing
41:57Still
41:59If we were built for breaking
42:02If that's just how it goes then
42:05Give me one more
42:09With you
42:23W Mondays
42:25W Mondays
42:33I remember
42:36I remember
42:37Nothing
42:38I remember
42:38It
42:39To the world of grace
42:43And I'm proud of you
42:48And I'm proud of you
42:51May the ocean of grace
43:00There it is!
43:03There it is!
43:11He's so beautiful.
43:16He's so beautiful.
43:22Go.
43:24Go meet your son.
43:34Hey, little buddy.
43:40You're amazing.
43:42I love you.
43:44I love you, too.
43:46I love you.
43:47I love you.
43:51We should go.
43:53Okay, okay.
43:55Okay, okay.
43:56I love you.
44:02I love you.
44:14Stay with them and I'll be right there, okay?
44:15Okay.
44:16Okay.
44:27Okay.
44:28Okay.
44:29Okay.
44:30Okay.
44:46Let's go.
44:47Okay.
45:15Wait, wait, are you the nurse?
45:19I'm his mother.
45:47I'm his mother.
45:49I'm his mother.
46:10I'm his mother.
46:22I'm his mother.
46:34I'm his mother.
46:49I'm his mother.
47:18I'm his mother.
47:23I'm his mother.
47:28I'm his mother.
