00:28You know, we used to make things in this city.
00:31We made steel.
00:33We sent it down the river to become buildings and halls for boats and 747s.
00:39And all the while, here at Sydney's Jazz Lounge, we made music.
00:47My father played on this stage with Lena Horne.
00:50We had culture.
00:53We made legends.
00:54And tonight, on this stage, there's a legend to be made.
00:58Ladies and gentlemen, I have seen them all, but I have never seen anything like Annabelle Lee.
01:06There it is.
01:08Ha ha ha ha ha.
01:10Whoa.
01:11Okay?
01:11Yeah.
01:12Yeah.
01:14Yeah.
01:43That's how it was, you know, that's really how it was.
01:45You play like that at 11 o'clock, and that talent scout from Atlantic won't know what hit him.
01:50He'll have no choice but to sign you.
01:53Scout?
01:55Signer, what you talking about, man?
01:56What is this, 1975?
01:58You still got record, scout.
02:00I got one coming on down to Pittsburgh.
02:03Five, so the sun is over at CMU.
02:06But the point is that he's going to be here tonight.
02:10Annabelle, you all right?
02:12Yeah.
02:13Yeah, I'm just going to go splash some water.
02:15I'm just going to start my face.
02:17She could go splash some water.
02:19So I'm saying it's a dirty, dirty.
02:20Run around.
02:21Got to find a few.
02:26No, no, you're going to the hospital.
02:30No, no, no, no.
02:31I'm fine.
02:31I'm fine.
02:32I'm not going to miss my shot just to sit in the ER for hours.
02:35You don't have to sit there.
02:36You can go in through the VIP, though.
02:38Amy's got a kid that works.
02:39No, not John.
02:40Not my son.
02:41I know the medical director over there.
02:43Mary will get you back on time.
02:46Shinwa, take that to pathology.
02:50Hmm.
02:52Is there an issue?
02:54Usually when I take delivery of fingers in a bag, there are no doctors present.
02:59Not licensed ones, anyway.
03:01I see.
03:02I still don't get why the patient wouldn't have gone.
03:05There are obvious benefits to having six fingers on each hand.
03:08Well, what's had a competitive bowler tell me it was the secret to his topspin?
03:12Exactly.
03:13He had a leg up on his rival.
03:14I think you've got your anatomy wrong there.
03:16I'm going to skip the amputated fingers banter if it's all the same to y'all.
03:19Do you mind if I go home?
03:20I have a video call with Uncle June to plan his visit.
03:24Uncle June.
03:24I can hear those scare quotes.
03:27How is he related to you again?
03:28He was married to my birth mother's younger sister.
03:30So not a blood relative.
03:32Convenient.
03:33I'm just saying it's harder to verify.
03:35Otherwise, you could steal a hair and run his DNA.
03:38Hypothetically, of course.
03:39His wife died of leukemia early this year.
03:40I'm his only other family member in the States.
03:44But it's been nice.
03:45June's going to give me cooking lessons.
03:46He used to run his own Chinese place in New York.
03:48Has he mentioned other Sashas?
03:51June says that my birth mother is still in China, but he's just following my lead.
03:55So I figured I'd get to know him first, see where it goes from there.
03:57Okay, Sasha, you can go home.
03:59Shinwell, deliver those fingers.
04:00If anyone needs me, I'll be down in the ER.
04:03Is everything good?
04:03I hope so.
04:05My father just showed up there.
04:09He has a father?
04:11Hamish is fine.
04:12He's not the patient.
04:13It's his protege.
04:14He wanted me to bump them to the front of the line.
04:16I've already made arrangements, but I wanted to loop you in.
04:20Yeah, but why didn't he just call me?
04:21We have a good relationship.
04:24What?
04:25You both say that a lot.
04:27When's the last time you talked?
04:28Last Sunday.
04:29When I called my mother, he told me...
04:32All right, fine, fine.
04:33She told me that he wanted to invite me to a late night set at the club.
04:37Layla and I are going to try to make it.
04:39Well, thankfully, I am no longer the designated interpreter for the two of you.
04:43Look, he's in with a patient.
04:45If you want to know why he didn't call you, why don't you ask him yourself?
04:51How are you, Hamish?
04:54Hamish?
04:56What happened to Dad?
04:58A divorce judge happened.
04:59Forget about all that.
05:00Come give me a hug.
05:08Hey, Dad.
05:09John!
05:10Oh, good of you to come.
05:13It's, uh...
05:14Yeah.
05:15It's good to see you.
05:15I didn't want to pull you away from your research.
05:17Your mother's always talking about how busy you are.
05:20I'm seeing mostly patients now, so...
05:23Yeah.
05:25Hey, Annabelle.
05:26Have the ER doctors been in here to see you here?
05:29Uh, a resident came in and said she would be back soon.
05:32That was 30 minutes ago.
05:34Ooh, someone needs to talk to management about that.
05:38Well, I can examine you now.
05:40Save you additional weight.
05:43How about I take you on a tour of you, Hop?
05:46Give you the lay of the land.
05:47Queen and her domain.
05:49More like an overworked administrator.
05:53He brags about you.
05:54To everybody.
05:56My son is the greatest geneticist in the world.
06:00He just can't tell you that.
06:02You gotta have something to work for after all.
06:05Yeah, you got that right.
06:07Well, anyway, it's good to see you again.
06:09I think the last time I saw you was at a recital when you were, like, had to be about
06:1312 years old.
06:14Oh, yeah.
06:16Don't remind me.
06:17I think 12 is when I peaked.
06:19It's all been downhill from there.
06:21Tell me what happened tonight.
06:23Uh, I just got a little lightheaded and took a spill after the show, but I'm fine now.
06:28Did this happen when you fell?
06:30Uh, no.
06:31That was earlier.
06:32I tripped over a stand.
06:36Has there been anything else that's been bothering you recently?
06:39No.
06:40No?
06:42Not even the intermittent numbness in your right foot?
06:50The wear pattern on the soles are uneven.
06:54I'd say this has been going on for, I don't know, maybe three, four months now.
06:58That's why you stumbled twice tonight.
07:02It went away.
07:04I mean, it always goes away after, like, a minute or two.
07:07But numbness and weakness could be signs of something more serious.
07:11Why would you hide those kinds of symptoms?
07:14There's a record scout coming to the show tonight.
07:16Hamish made it happen.
07:17I really have to get back on stage.
07:19I'm sorry, Annabelle.
07:20I need to run some more tests.
07:21I will come back right after my performance, and you can run whatever test you want.
07:26Yes.
07:27You've got to be careful.
07:28No, I'm admitting her to the hospital for an expedited workup.
07:31This has been going on for months, and it's just getting more severe.
07:34Tonight was evidence of that.
07:35That's why I didn't come to you first.
07:38Mary doesn't make mountains out of molehills.
07:41And neither do I.
07:41Annabelle passed out because she's dehydrated and tired.
07:45And I've seen it happen with musicians before.
07:47Once the show is over, she'll be fine.
07:50Can you help me here?
07:52No, I'm Switzerland.
07:54Post-divorce version of Switzerland.
07:56I don't take sides.
07:57No, no, no.
07:57Listen to me.
07:58Annabelle's talent is not going anywhere.
08:00Yes, you might know musicians, but I'm her doctor now.
08:03Now, worsening numbness and weakness means this isn't just fainting.
08:07And I'm not just going to let her walk out the door and risk her life because you want her
08:12to play music.
08:29Why would a 22-year-old musical prodigy develop recurrent numbness, weakness, and blackouts seemingly out of nowhere?
08:37Is the musical prodigy part relevant?
08:40Maybe yes, maybe no.
08:41Well, you tell me.
08:47This is the part where we all trade ideas.
08:50We've all Googled you aggressively and extensively.
08:55Everybody knows that your father is a local legend.
08:57Why haven't you said anything?
08:59Why would I say anything?
09:00Hamish Watson is a renowned tenor saxophonist and jazz educator.
09:05Wikipedia says that he was mentored by John Coltrane.
09:08Is that why they named you John?
09:10You're not a musician, though.
09:12I played the alto saxophone.
09:14Same as Annabelle.
09:14But you don't play it now.
09:16Otherwise, he'd be invested in your career instead of hers.
09:19Is Hamish Watson disappointed in you?
09:22Let's focus on the patient.
09:24Not only is she suffering from physical decline, she's dealing with immense stress from her career.
09:30She has a major label behind her.
09:33She has a hard-driving mentor with some very unrelenting expectations.
09:38I can't imagine what that's like.
09:39It'd be too much for any one person to bear.
09:42But to deal with that at that young of an age, it's crushing.
09:46You sure we're still talking about Annabelle?
09:47Stop.
09:48We have a good relationship.
09:51The differential, please.
09:53Could still be a stroke.
09:55Overnight CT is negative.
09:57But the definitive study for diagnosis is an MRI.
10:00An MRI could also help evaluate for multiple sclerosis.
10:03A young woman in her 20s with episodic weakness is practically textbook.
10:08MS is also worsened by emotional and physical stress.
10:11Excellent point, Dr. Levick.
10:12The pressure from auditioning could have triggered that attack.
10:16Ingrid and Stevens, get an MRI.
10:19Check for a stroke and multiple sclerosis.
10:21Sasha and Adam, go to Annabelle's apartment.
10:24See how she's been dealing with all this stress.
10:27Where are you going?
10:28I'm taking Shinwell to my father's club.
10:31Maybe we can find some clues.
10:39Woman, you are a lifesaver.
10:42You know you didn't have to sleep here overnight.
10:45John would have let you stay at his place.
10:47I promised Annabelle's parents I'd stay with her in the hospital.
10:50They're visiting her sister down in Australia.
10:58This is my guy from Atlantic.
11:01He's going to be in town for a couple of days as he wants to come back to the club
11:04to see Annabelle.
11:05Ah, she must be special if he's willing to go through all that trouble.
11:08She ain't just special.
11:10She is it.
11:11When that child plays, she forces people to pay attention.
11:16It's like she's saying things for them that they can't say for themselves.
11:23You really think they'll sign her?
11:25Hmm.
11:26The label knows she can break through.
11:29She's a kid.
11:30A kid who wants to play jazz in 2025.
11:34She ain't no fossil with double hip replacements.
11:44Last night I thought I was going to sign my first record deal.
11:46Now I might have MS.
11:48How can I play the saxophone if I can't even lift my hands?
11:55I just thought I had more time.
11:59I thought I was just getting started.
12:01So, um, how does women become a musical prodigy?
12:05Anyway, did your parents start you young?
12:09No, Tiger Mom's here.
12:11My parents were too busy making ends meet.
12:13They didn't have time to think about our hobbies.
12:19It was Hamish.
12:20I was six.
12:22Mom got a second job as a receptionist at a music school.
12:25And I would sit on the benches and wait for her to finish work.
12:30I could hear Hamish giving lessons in his office.
12:34And I would memorize the melodies he'd play.
12:38And then I would sing them back to myself and pretend I was playing too.
12:44He heard me one day.
12:47And he told my mom I had a great ear.
12:51And he offered to teach me for free.
12:54He's been my teacher ever since.
12:56He helped me get a scholarship to Pitt and gave me a spot in his band after graduation.
13:02Doesn't sound like he gave you anything.
13:05You're wrong.
13:10If he hadn't heard me that day, I never would have known.
13:13I would just be singing in the shower.
13:18Hamish changed my life.
13:22This whole scene.
13:24My dad's club.
13:27Oh.
13:28If I can keep the club open for another six weeks.
13:33And I can get Annabelle set up.
13:37It'll all be worth it.
13:39You're going under?
13:40Does John know?
13:41No, no, no, no.
13:42We're good.
13:43It's the club that's sick.
13:46Same as Annabelle.
13:49Is she going to be okay?
13:51John won't stop until he finds an answer.
13:59I mean, I get Sasha's excited.
14:02But this guy comes out of the woodwork claiming to be a relative.
14:05And now she's inviting him into her home.
14:08She's done her homework on Uncle June.
14:10He doesn't have a criminal record.
14:12Everything he's told her so far checks out with the adoption paperwork.
14:15Yeah, there are other ways he could have found that information.
14:17Look, I'm her boyfriend.
14:20I'll be her bodyguard, but only if she wants that.
14:25I've got my eye on the situation.
14:28But she's happy.
14:30I'm not getting in the way.
14:33Annabelle's MRI is done.
14:38There's no evidence of a mess or a stroke.
14:41What?
14:42It's completely negative.
14:43We're no closer to figuring out what's wrong with her.
14:53Oh, my God.
14:55J. Hamish Watson.
14:57The genius of the human genome.
14:59Eddie Hans.
15:00This is the master of the 88 keys.
15:03Yeah, right.
15:04Look how far that got me.
15:05I'm back here polishing stemware for the night shift.
15:08Shemuel Johnson.
15:08I'm Dr. Watson's assistant.
15:11A side man.
15:13Eddie Hans.
15:14Hamish's piano player and club manager.
15:16I've known your man since we were both 12.
15:19Yeah.
15:20You and Dr. Watson play music together.
15:22Oh, no, no.
15:22Hamish would never let me play with Eddie.
15:24This man has got some real talent.
15:27Talent which led me to polish your next stemware.
15:30Eddie, you mind if I look around?
15:31I'll be my guest, man.
15:34So, listen, Eddie, did you notice anything strange about when Annabelle fell yesterday?
15:37Is there any type of abnormal movements that could be a seizure?
15:41I don't think so.
15:42What about when she was performing?
15:43Did you notice anything?
15:44I was just trying to remember the changes, man, so Hamish didn't have my heart.
15:48You know how he kisses.
15:49Oh, don't I know it?
15:51Would it help for you to see a video?
15:54You recorded the performance?
15:55Hamish wanted it for the website.
15:57I will get it now.
15:58Oh, definitely.
15:59Long time, boy.
16:00Good to see you, man.
16:01Always good to see you.
16:07A lot of history here.
16:09Yes, my grandfather Sidney right there.
16:11He opened up this place after he stopped touring with Coltrane.
16:14That's my father and my grandfather in the same picture.
16:17You don't talk about him much.
16:19You're dead.
16:22Heard all about your mom and the museum.
16:26Imagine it must have been difficult being...
16:30You, with a family like this.
16:33I was good at something.
16:35It took me a while to find it, but...
16:38It's more than most people can get.
16:44Annabelle's apartment is so cool.
16:47Wow.
16:49There's nothing in this place that isn't geared towards music.
16:51It's like her sole mission in life.
16:54Stevens ever tell you about our junior high rock band?
16:57No.
16:59Lasted half the summer.
17:01I couldn't decide on my musical direction.
17:03I wanted to be Fish.
17:04He wanted to be The Strokes.
17:07And now you're back.
17:09Side by side at the Holmes Clinic.
17:11I made better doctors than musicians.
17:14What about you?
17:15Did you ever play anything as a kid?
17:17I begged my mom for singing lessons.
17:19Thought I'd be Leanne Rimes.
17:20Then I switched the next thing that caught my fancy.
17:25Dang.
17:26This girl makes residency look like vacation.
17:29Eight hours of practice on top of rehearsals.
17:33Even I couldn't handle that at 22.
17:38Screws on this outlet cover are stripped and there's wear on the plate.
17:43Looks like someone tried to open it with a coin or maybe a butter knife.
17:50An outlet box is a good hiding place.
17:52I hear about them all the time in meetings.
17:54You bring that thing everywhere you go?
17:57Before Watson, I used to think doctors only carried stethoscopes.
18:08Oh, Adam, you good?
18:11I don't want to touch that.
18:19I think I know how Annabelle's been handling the pressure.
18:27Did you know about this?
18:30Don't be such a prude.
18:33A prude?
18:34A cocaine-induced TIA explains all of Annabelle's symptoms.
18:39The numbness, the weakness, the blackouts, many strokes caused by drug use could even explain
18:44her negative MRI.
18:45Well, that's not what happened.
18:47You're a music teacher, not a doctor.
18:50You know, I have worked with dozens of strung out players.
18:57This is how they deal with the stress, the travel, the haunting.
19:03What's the haunting?
19:04There's the art form.
19:07There's standards.
19:08Then there's you.
19:10The haunting is that feeling of not being able to measure up.
19:14I confronted Annabelle about this months ago.
19:17She stopped then and there.
19:19Oh, so that's like your professional opinion.
19:21You're confronted.
19:22Did you give her a drug test?
19:24This is so much fun.
19:25You two have a good relationship.
19:27Who wouldn't want to spend as much time as possible around that?
19:30John, if you're worried that Annabelle is still using cocaine, why don't you talk to her directly?
19:37What were you hoping cocaine would do for you?
19:41I wanted to play the way I'm supposed to play.
19:43If there's a powder or syringe that can help me do that, I'll try all of it.
19:49Am I looking at me like that?
19:50Run your tests.
19:51I quit.
19:52And for the record, the numbness and the weakness, that all started before I got high.
19:58I was worried that my symptoms would start affecting my playing, and it was distracting me during shows.
20:06Everyone said, Coke helps you focus.
20:08So I tried it.
20:11Like I said, I'll try anything.
20:13You've been spending too much time around my father.
20:15Hamish?
20:17No, he turned his back on his talent.
20:19He gave up everything for you.
20:22What?
20:24Hamish could have been a legend.
20:28Instead, he's in Pittsburgh.
20:32Man, I don't blame my father for this.
20:34We're doing fine.
20:37What's with the face?
20:38This is a perfectly neutral expression.
20:41I'm not mad at him.
20:43I'm not.
20:44I'm telling you, I'm not, okay?
20:45It's not my father.
20:47It's who?
20:51It's kind of silly.
20:54My problem is with the universe.
20:57Well, that's always a productive stance.
20:59I mean, look, he didn't do anything wrong.
21:02I just want to know when I can finally stand there with my father and feel like me.
21:07Who do you feel like now?
21:10Like an eight-year-old kid who knows he needs to get better at the auto sex.
21:18Annabelle's talk stream came back negative.
21:21She can't have done cocaine in the past five days.
21:25We're at a bit of a dead end.
21:27Figured we hit a fresh tomorrow.
21:29Mm-hmm.
21:31You good?
21:32I'm fine, Dr. Darien.
21:34Just spend some time with my patient.
21:36I'm fine, Dr. Darien.
21:38I'm fine, Dr. Darien.
21:41I'm fine, Dr. Darien.
21:47I'm fine, Dr. Darien.
21:47I'm fine, Dr. Darien.
21:49I'm fine, Dr. Darien.
21:49I'm fine, Dr. Darien.
21:50I'm fine, Dr. Darien.
21:50I'm fine, Dr. Darien.
21:51I'm fine, Dr. Darien.
21:51I'm fine, Dr. Darien.
21:52I'm fine, Dr. Darien.
21:52I'm fine, Dr. Darien.
21:53I'm fine, Dr. Darien.
21:55I'm fine, Dr. Darien.
21:56I'm fine, Dr. Darien.
21:57I'm fine, Dr. Darien.
21:59I'm fine, Dr. Darien.
22:03I'm fine, Dr. Darien.
22:10I refuse to ask for water.
22:13I take it, you've eaten many Hunanese food before.
22:18I'm fine. I'm fine.
22:20You know, spicy food runs in your blood.
22:22That's why our region produced so many revolutionaries.
22:27The chairman Mao Zedong was from Hunan, too.
22:29Wow.
22:30No wonder I can never win an argument with you.
22:35It's been special to share this time with you, Sasha.
22:38I've really enjoyed it, too.
22:40Thank you so much for coming all this way to see me.
22:42I want to give you this gift to Mark this occasion.
22:56Is that her?
23:00Is that my mom?
23:01Yes.
23:03You look remarkably like her.
23:07Oh.
23:08Oh, dear.
23:10Okay, okay, okay.
23:12You all right?
23:13Please, have some.
23:19Oh, those guys look familiar.
23:22Where are they from?
23:24Oh, um, I got a few moles removed to medical school.
23:27My physical exam lab partner, she pointed them out.
23:30Good thing she did, too.
23:32Doctor said I must have run my family.
23:34I remember your mother had something like that.
23:41I stopped touring after John was born.
23:44My dad asked if I want to take over the club.
23:49Seemed like a good idea at the time.
23:52Sometimes I wonder.
23:56Hey, John, come and join us.
23:59Shinwell and I pilfered your finest whiskey.
24:02No, it's no use.
24:04I know that face.
24:05Dr. Watson is in work mode.
24:08How does she do it?
24:09I mean, how does she physically do it?
24:14Well, she's playing in the altissimo register, the highest on the saxophone.
24:21In those notes, they require time to develop.
24:26It needs an increase in air and intensity.
24:33Why?
24:34What is it?
24:35It's music, her ambition.
24:38It's you.
24:40If I'm right, Annabelle's jazz career is killing her.
24:52Puff a smoke.
24:53Or, as the Japanese would call it...
24:55Moya Moya.
24:56She has Moya Moya disease.
24:58Very good, Dr. Darian.
24:59Now, would you care to explain what that is?
25:02Moya Moya is a rare disorder that results in the narrowing of a major blood vessel in her brain,
25:07which limits blood flow.
25:07The body forms abnormal collateral vessels to compensate.
25:11Like finding an alternate route home when there's traffic on the four-pit bridge.
25:14The puff of smoke sign can only be seen on an angiogram, not an MRI, which is why it escaped
25:20our notice at first.
25:21How did you know to look for it?
25:23That video of her playing.
25:25Annabelle started getting dizzy at the end of her solo.
25:28It was something about how she was playing music that caused Annabelle to black out.
25:33She went to your dance, I helped.
25:35Yes, he explained that in order for her to hit the high notes, Annabelle had to increase the speed of
25:39air that she was sending to the saxophone.
25:41She blew up all her CO2.
25:42She was basically hyperventilating.
25:44Which decreased the flow to her already blood-starved brain.
25:49Yes, Annabelle is having many strokes, just not due to the drugs.
25:53Every time she pushes herself while playing, she puts herself at risk for another one.
25:58If this is Moyamoy, it's not just TIAs we need to be afraid of.
26:02We're lucky she hasn't had a major stroke by now.
26:04You're right.
26:05But the good news is, Moyamoy is one of the rare causes of stroke that is actually treatable.
26:12You want me to have brain surgery?
26:15You and I have different definitions of good news.
26:18A neurosurgeon can take part of the blood vessel from your scalp and reconnect it inside your brain.
26:24It will bypass the blockage from your Moyamoy.
26:27With a consistent blood supply, you shouldn't have any more numbness, weakness from the mini-strokes.
26:33And you'll also significantly reduce the risk of having a full-blown stroke.
26:37Isn't there something less invasive we could try first?
26:40Medications, maybe?
26:41I don't recommend that.
26:43Worsening neurologic symptoms means that your brain is already being impacted.
26:47But I feel fine outside of these episodes.
26:49I'm playing better than I ever have.
26:51I mean, I'll just take a break from high notes.
26:54That's not a fix, Annabelle.
26:55Plus, knowing you, that's not sustainable.
27:03If you mess with my brain, will it affect my musical abilities?
27:06The surgery would be on the left side of the brain.
27:09I mean, music is mostly controlled by the right.
27:12Mostly.
27:14But not entirely.
27:18We think that musicality resides in the left brain.
27:25You want to remove the soul from my music?
27:28Okay, Annabelle.
27:28Any effects from the surgery should be temporary.
27:31A stroke could result in permanent disability or even death.
27:35But you can't even say for sure that I'll have one.
27:37And if I do, it could be in five, ten years from now.
27:41I wouldn't take that bad if I were you.
27:42But can you guarantee that this surgery won't affect my talent?
27:45Because being a musician is so much more than just playing notes.
27:48It's about making people kill them.
27:52I'm sorry.
27:54I can't promise you that.
27:56It's brain surgery, Annabelle.
27:58Then I don't want it.
28:03Annabelle.
28:08You have your entire life ahead of you.
28:12You're more than just a musical prodigy.
28:16This is about staying alive.
28:22Haven't you ever wanted to change the world, Dr. Watson?
28:26Make your mark and leave this place better than you found it.
28:34I have.
28:34I can't save lives like you.
28:37But I can impact them with my music.
28:41I can bring people joy.
28:43I can bring them to tears just with the way that I play.
28:48But all of that goes away if you cut my talent out of my head.
28:59You okay?
29:02You've been distracted ever since dinner.
29:05I'm fine.
29:05I just...
29:07I can't stop thinking about my birth, Mom.
29:10What did your father say?
29:11That he wished I were still that baby he carried back to Dallas 35 years ago.
29:16That photo brought back all his memories.
29:19So it's definitely you, huh?
29:21Which means it's definitely her.
29:23There's just something else that Uncle June said.
29:25I'm just saying.
29:26People can have a second calling.
29:27Look at Chinwell.
29:29Look at me.
29:30I thought my life was over after my diving injury.
29:33Do not equate your situation to hers.
29:35You are a moderately talented collegiate athlete.
29:38She is a jazz virtuoso at 22.
29:40She could be the next Charlie Parker.
29:42I get it.
29:42She don't want to look back and wonder what might have been.
29:45I don't blame her.
29:46We all want our chance at greatness.
29:48That's why we work for Watson.
29:50Would you risk your intelligence, even if it meant saving your life?
29:53You guys are all wasting your time.
29:55Are we?
29:57Trying to convince Annabelle to get the surgery.
29:59It's not her that we need to convince.
30:02It's him.
30:03Do you even realize the power that you have?
30:06What are you talking about?
30:08I own a failing jazz club, and I'm living off your mother's saviors.
30:12But none of that matters.
30:13Not to Annabelle.
30:15To someone who wants your approval, you are like music itself.
30:22Your opinion means everything to her.
30:24If you told her to have the more and more of surgery, she'd do it.
30:33Dad, this is her life.
30:38Music is her life.
30:41I know that that's important to her.
30:44But it's not the same thing.
30:46Okay?
30:47It can't be the same thing.
30:48She's afraid of losing something that is as vital to her as grieving.
30:54That's why she won't risk it.
30:58I'm sorry, John.
31:00I'm not going to pressure her into making that kind of decision.
31:03That's hers and hers alone.
31:06She's not making this decision for herself.
31:08She's making that decision for you.
31:13You wanted her to be this prodigy.
31:15You wanted her to uphold your legacy.
31:19And she wanted so badly to please you.
31:23She wouldn't put herself aside if it meant making you happy.
31:27If you care about her, if you really care about her,
31:33stop putting that burden on her and let her live her life.
31:35I told Annabelle what she could do, who she could be.
31:41She does not want to have the surgery, John.
31:46Oh, you know, if you were a musician, you'd understand that.
31:56I was so happy when you wanted to have lunch before I took the bus back.
32:01You did it!
32:08Something wrong, Sasha?
32:10I used to wonder what my birth mom looked like when I was a kid.
32:14But, thanks to you, now I know.
32:18It's good to know family.
32:21That's how you know yourself.
32:28The skin condition I have, F-A-M-M, it's autosomal dominant.
32:33That means you only need one effective parent to inherit it.
32:36The other night, you said that she had it.
32:38But when I look at this picture again,
32:40I notice that my mother's shoulders were clear.
32:42That means she could be a child.
32:43She couldn't have given it to me.
32:45Which means you lied.
32:47Just like you lied about being my uncle.
32:50Why'd you do it?
32:52You found out my family had money,
32:54planned to ask for a little bit here and a little bit there,
32:56and the next thing I know, I'm out 50 grand.
32:58I can explain.
32:59I already have an explanation.
33:05Do not contact me again.
33:07Ross will call the police.
33:10I'm not your uncle.
33:13But I don't want the money.
33:15I have enough.
33:16Aren't you wondering how I got that photo of you and your birth mom?
33:20I know I can find her identity.
33:29I'm lonely, Sasha.
33:32I'm alone.
33:34That's why I did this.
33:37If you ever want to see her,
33:39I can help.
33:49What did we already say?
33:51Does he still want to come hear me play?
33:53Yeah, he's coming to the club tomorrow evening
33:55on his way to the train station.
33:56Okay, I think I should start with Misty.
33:58He's going to be expecting a burner,
33:59so a ballot will really take him by surprise.
34:01It'll be like an homage to the Hill.
34:08Annabelle, about this surgery.
34:15Maybe, maybe you should do it.
34:20Yeah, I mean, I'll think about it later.
34:23I might not get another chance.
34:26It's going to be okay.
34:28It's okay.
34:30I'm going to get some help.
34:32John?
34:35There's something wrong with Annabelle.
34:44What happened?
34:45She wanted to play.
34:47Annabelle, you have to slow your breathing.
34:49Can you do that for me?
34:50All right, here we go.
34:50In and out.
34:53Good job.
34:56Very good.
35:00Annabelle?
35:00Annabelle?
35:01What's wrong?
35:02John, John, what's wrong with her?
35:03She must have triggered a stroke.
35:06Get that crash car.
35:1422-year-old female with more and more disease.
35:16Symptoms are concerning for an acute stroke.
35:18Steven, where are we with the bolus?
35:19I'm giving it now.
35:20Very good.
35:20We need to raise her blood pressure
35:22to promote the blood flow to her brain.
35:23If this is a stroke,
35:24it'll prevent it from spreading.
35:26Radiology knows we're coming.
35:27They've got the scanner ready for her.
35:28Everybody, get ready to move.
35:29John, where are you taking her?
35:31Because I really...
35:31I need you to step back.
35:32I can update you later,
35:33but right now,
35:34we need to save Annabelle's life.
35:35Yes, yes.
35:36All right.
35:36Stand by with the 20-year-old.
35:3815-year-old.
35:3815-year-old.
35:3915-year-old.
35:4015-year-old.
35:4015-year-old.
35:4015-year-old.
35:4115-year-old.
35:4115-year-old.
35:4215-year-old.
35:48I've been looking for you.
35:51John and his team
35:52were able to treat Annabelle
35:53four-stroke.
35:56She's sleeping in the ICU.
35:58You can see her if you like.
36:06John was right.
36:07I should have just said it.
36:09Do the surgery.
36:11There's still time.
36:12Call that damn pressure.
36:18I almost killed her
36:20with my selfishness.
36:31Annabelle is special, Hamish.
36:34She knows that because of you.
36:37Don't try to make me feel better.
36:38You see the potential in people.
36:41Every kid needs to know
36:42that someone believes in them.
36:44And that's who you were for Annabelle.
36:48wherever she goes from here,
36:50she'll have you to thank for that.
36:53What am I going to tell her parents?
36:58Tell her parents
37:01that your boy,
37:02John Watson,
37:04saved their daughter's life.
37:06Hmm.
37:16Oh, no.
37:17Stay.
37:18Stay.
37:27You know, when you were a kid,
37:29I used to close my eyes
37:32during our lessons
37:33just to hear you play.
37:36Sometimes I forget
37:37that I was supposed
37:38to be teaching you.
37:41I'd tell myself
37:43this girl
37:44was touched by God
37:46with talent.
37:48And I was humbled.
37:51Humbled to see
37:52someone so bright
37:54who loved the music
37:56that meant so much to me.
37:59You made me believe
38:00that everything was possible again.
38:03Hmm.
38:11I was wrong to do that.
38:15I was wrong
38:17because I made you think
38:19that was all
38:20that I cared about.
38:22And your music,
38:25your music wasn't the gift,
38:27Annabelle.
38:30The gift was always you.
38:47I'll have the surgery.
39:00We are not going to study mucus, Adam.
39:02It's a waste
39:03of valuable clinic resources.
39:04The mucinome's already being used
39:06to develop experimental treatments
39:07that could one day
39:08replace antibiotics,
39:09or is that what you're afraid of?
39:11I'm obviously a patient
39:12on a follow-up visit.
39:13Tell Annabelle
39:14or break a leg.
39:15My father's saving seats
39:16in the front for all of you.
39:17We wouldn't miss it
39:18unless these two keep us hostage
39:19all night to argue about snot.
39:21Watson, one more thing.
39:23Father's Wikipedia page.
39:26Someone updated it.
39:28Hamish Watson is the father
39:29of noted geneticist John Watson.
39:35It was Sasha's idea.
39:37The internet should be accurate.
39:41You know, squeeze these fingers
39:43as hard as you can.
39:45All right?
39:48I'm doing okay?
39:49I'm going to be okay?
39:50You're doing better than okay.
39:51You're doing amazing.
39:53Go get what's yours.
39:54You've earned it.
39:54Okay.
40:06You think the scouts
40:07are going to show up tonight?
40:09Yeah, I do.
40:10I do.
40:11Annabelle's life
40:12is going to change
40:12after tonight.
40:14Hmm.
40:17You going to watch the show?
40:18Yeah, I'm coming with Layla.
40:20Mary's bringing a date
40:21the fellows are coming to.
40:22Hmm.
40:23Hmm.

40:53Hmm.
40:55Hmm.
41:00That was pretty good, kid.
41:03Not bad.
41:04Not bad.
41:04Should I try again, Dad?
41:06Absolutely.
41:08Go on, John.
41:10Just make it easier on my ears.
41:12Yeah, I can get it.
41:14I wouldn't mind
41:15having a real amazing.
41:16Okay, we're just now blowing it up.
41:22I see you, son.
41:25I stood in that room when Annabelle was dying and watched you tell everyone what had to happen.
41:34Watched you save the life of a 22-year-old.
41:38Annabelle wouldn't be playing tonight if you weren't there.
41:42Even if you were playing tonight if you weren't there.
41:44It's taking way too long.
41:48but i see you now i brag on you i know what it means to have a kid as a
