00:21I'm sorry you have to go through this pain, I love you.
00:31That's my prayer, I promise, my identity.
00:41I love you, Anita.
00:48Did you get the all clear text yet?
00:51By the time we're done with our frittata, she'll have her face on for us.
00:55I never imagined daddy playing bouncer at our childhood home.
00:58At least we have your little lady on the inside.
01:01Which has been good for them and for Kat.
01:04How's she doing with the roomy withdrawal?
01:07Change is not Princess Kat's first language.
01:11But faced with what grands are going through, she's snapped too.
01:17They're her entire focus.
01:19Everyone's stepping up.
01:21When Bill Hamilton showed up on mother and daddy's doorstep yesterday.
01:25And he got past daddy?
01:27He came bearing a sweetener.
01:28He had the construction stopped at Leslie's house.
01:31Ah, so he came by to preen.
01:33Daddy asked him to do it, so he did it.
01:34For now.
01:37What else did Bill do?
01:40He stopped by my place after.
01:43Hoping to get rewarded for his good deed with some of your sweetness?
01:47No.
01:49He was actually shook by how mother looked.
01:53We joked, but he's had some real distance and he was struck by the difference between the last time he
01:59saw her and now.
02:01Had him reaching back to his OG trauma.
02:04His mother's depression?
02:06Yeah.
02:07He knows it's not the same, but watching her sink to the depths, no matter how hard he tried to
02:13love her.
02:15You are not going to make me feel bad for Bill.
02:18Wouldn't dream of it.
02:20And of course he's hit.
02:22He's got an extra layer of guilt.
02:24Our parents took him in like their own son, and he repaid them by breaking your heart.
02:29Mother and daddy got the two bad son-in-law special.
02:33Mm-mm.
02:34We are not taking this to the Ted place.
02:37I am in very happy single woman mode.
02:40Now that's where I want to go.
02:42Tell me something good.
02:43Oh, do we have to?
02:45We must.
02:46We must.
03:08Max Rodriguez.
03:09He's the courier, room 6.
03:11There are guys waiting for him outside the main entrance and they're not packing balloons and candy.
03:15He best avoided.
03:21Hurry up.
03:57Hey, ladies.
03:58Hey, yourself.
04:01Was the guy in six already taken down for tests? No one's home.
04:06Roger, you guys? Stab wound?
04:08Yeah, that's the one. Patel wants me to rerun his blood.
04:11I just processed Rodriguez's discharge papers.
04:15Now, root on me this, Romeo.
04:17What's Dr. Patel thinking ordering new tests when the patient's already out the door?
04:26Good morning, again.
04:29I'm sorry I dozed off on you.
04:31You needed the rest. Don't get up.
04:34No, we have, uh, we have a date with our daughters.
04:38And they can wait.
04:39No, there's so much to do.
04:41Not when you're in more pain today than yesterday.
04:45I can see it now, and I can see it when you were asleep.
04:49Well, then I'm just gonna have to give back those shiny statues with my name on them.
04:53Best actress, my...
04:55Oh.
04:58That's it. We're going.
05:00No. No.
05:02If I go in the hospital, I might not come out.
05:11How was the drop?
05:13To be determined.
05:14What do you mean? Were you clocked?
05:15Not me. Rodriguez.
05:17Yes.
05:18They put another hit on on Max?
05:19Look, all I know for sure is there were made men outside of Garland.
05:22I recognize one from the truck driver.
05:24He's not picking up.
05:26Well, I need to go over there.
05:27I think I got a message to him.
05:29You think?
05:30Wren already got his pound of flesh.
05:32We can't have him or one of his thugs from the red market ring circle back to finish.
05:36We have to get him out now.
05:38Wait, wait, hang on.
05:39I asked Grayson to tell Max so he can find a quarter exit.
05:42You told Grayson about Max?
05:44Yeah, man, I didn't have a choice.
05:46The Rashad facade works out here, but on the third floor of Garland, they see right through it.
05:50Hell of a way to figure out who Grayson Perez really is.
05:53When Max's life depends on the answer.
05:56Patel says job by job.
05:59I was just changing. I would check again.
06:01Will do.
06:06I bet the lab's receptionist and Patel's nurse just got their wires crossed.
06:11Hmm. We'll see about that.
06:26Max Rodriguez.
06:28That was fast.
06:30I wouldn't normally ask for anything, but it hurts like hell.
06:33I'm not here with your prescription.
06:35I'm here with a message.
06:39I read received, okay?
06:41Relax.
06:42This is from Rashad.
06:44This isn't making any kind of sense.
06:46There's no order for blood at all.
06:48Hmm.
06:49Well, Dr. Patel's nurse must have deleted it.
06:51I'll catch Grayson.
06:52Rodriguez doesn't need to spill more blood.
06:54Hmm.
06:55There's a surface elevator at the end of the hall.
06:57You're gonna take that down to the loading dock.
06:59From there you get on the main road and you disappear.
07:02Knock, knock.
07:04Mr. Rodriguez?
07:05I, uh, am here to rescue you from this guy.
07:07Hey, Dr. Patel, uh, deleted that additional order for blood work.
07:10Oh, yeah. Thank you for catching that.
07:12Yeah.
07:13Um, I'll just get a chair in here and we can wheel you out.
07:15Uh, no.
07:15No?
07:17Uh, Mr. Rodriguez is waiting for his prescription.
07:20Oh, gosh.
07:21Of course.
07:21You know what?
07:22Um, just, just give me a few minutes.
07:29Thanks.
07:32You can thank me by keeping your mouth shut.
07:34If anyone finds out that I tipped you off...
07:36You and I both will end up back here.
07:39No.
07:39No, you're not gonna have to worry about the guys out there.
07:41I'll finish the job myself.
07:43Now go.
07:53I let my fears get the better of me yesterday.
07:56Don't follow that example.
07:57No, I'm being realistic.
07:58You're refusing to see the state I'm in.
08:00Do you agree that you're in pain?
08:02I don't want to go.
08:04Have you been able to keep any of your medications down?
08:06Vernon, listen to me.
08:08I am listening to you and what I hear is the chemo talking.
08:11The hospital is...
08:12The hospital is where you can get the help you need.
08:15Where they will manage these side effects and give you some relief.
08:18Mm-hmm.
08:19Please, Anita.
08:22I...
08:23It's not what I want.
08:26Well, you can tell me how wrong I am when we're on the way.
08:30But we're going.
08:32All right.
08:35I'll go, not because I'm agreeing with you, but I just don't have the energy to fight you.
08:42I'll have Titus bring the car around.
09:02One sec.
09:02I just, um, I need to wrap up with Rodriguez.
09:05Uh, he said his ride was here.
09:07I would have pulled him to wait, but he was getting anxious.
09:11Poor thing.
09:12Mm-hmm.
09:12Well, I know he can get that prescription at any pharmacy, but I would have wheeled him
09:15past ours on the way out.
09:17Well, however he got stabbed must have been traumatizing.
09:20He was so shaken.
09:21He was glad he didn't bolt out of here in his gown.
09:24Yeah.
09:25Poor guy.
09:28I thought you had the night shift.
09:30Yeah, I just want to finish some charts.
09:33The chief gave me a little nudge.
09:36Leah's giving you trouble.
09:37Yeah.
09:37She just wants to light my fire.
09:39If I want to move up, I have to be perfect.
09:42You already are perfect.
09:44But I get keeping our boss happy.
09:48I should get back to the lab.
09:49You can make me happy.
09:51Lunch.
09:53You just pulled an all-nighter.
09:54I can rally.
09:58Brain check.
09:59I got a lot more going on today than I expected.
10:07Max got out clean.
10:08I'm going to take him someplace safe.
10:10All right, yeah.
10:11I'll come with.
10:11No, Rashad.
10:12You've already taken enough risks for one day.
10:14Look, I'm still the cop here, remember?
10:16And besides, I don't need you taking any more chances.
10:18I'll watch my back.
10:21Max is my source.
10:23And he helped us.
10:23I'm not going to let anything happen to him.
10:26I have to go.
10:27He's waiting.
10:29Just take care of yourself out there, man.
10:37Chelsea Cat's a little more Chelsea and a little less Cat right now.
10:40You guys okay?
10:43Chelsea's on board.
10:45And living in my own wing at the Grands,
10:48if Naomi, Chelsea, and Martin weren't married or engaged,
10:52all the third gen would fight to move in.
10:54I'd pay to see that Dupree Fight Club.
10:56I'm small, but I'm scrappy.
10:58Yeah, you are.
10:59But you don't have to put on your brave face for me.
11:03She just has to get through this rough patch.
11:07But when you said it would be hard seeing her struggle up close...
11:10I wish I'd been wrong.
11:12I wouldn't trade it.
11:14Gran's go-to is to close ranks
11:17and not let anyone see her like this except for Granddad.
11:21But...
11:23she's starting to get used to me being there
11:25and letting down her guard.
11:28Is it okay for me to say I'm proud of you?
11:31I honestly feel so honored to be there.
11:35I feel honored being able to talk to you like this.
11:39Let me be where you relax and let loose.
11:41We'll do whatever you need.
11:42We can go out or stay in.
11:45Sansa or slow dance.
11:47We can work out or eat breakfast.
11:49Tell me what you need.
11:51And I'll make it happen.
11:53If Carlton and Kyle were cars,
11:54who would you drive for 100,000 miles?
11:56It is not a competition.
12:00It is more of an exploration.
12:03Oh, okay.
12:04If Andre weren't the best thing I had ever tasted,
12:07I would be pulling up a chair next to you at the sexy man buffet.
12:10Dani!
12:10Where is the lie?
12:11We both spent way too long on our starter husbands.
12:14No.
12:15No.
12:15We have to be honest now in this post-Bill and Ted's not so excellent adventure.
12:20So I am checking in.
12:22Where's your heart?
12:26Intellectually, physically, Carlton and I line up.
12:30We love to see movies, plays.
12:33He's funny and sweet.
12:35And after I see him, I want to see more.
12:39You know?
12:39And with Kyle?
12:41It's like no other man exists.
12:44Oh.
12:46Conceivably, you could keep both.
12:48But I don't think Carlton would keep his cool that long.
12:51He is the one who wants to be Mr. Nicole.
12:54Actually, Kyle made a couple of surprising moves himself.
12:58In the bedroom?
13:01He just signed a lease at Barrington Towers.
13:04That new building that is oh so close to Fairmont Crest?
13:09And he gave me a key to his place.
13:12So someone ended up catching feelings after all.
13:15He said it didn't have to mean anything.
13:17And he just wanted me to have full access.
13:20No strings, no expectations.
13:22Just whatever I wanted.
13:24Just full access.
13:26Sounds like there is a front runner in the Nicole bracket.
13:31I don't want to do Carlton like that.
13:33He has been good for me.
13:35But?
13:38Kyle is giving me something that I've been looking for.
13:42An open door.
13:44Complete with your own key.
13:48Mrs. Dupree.
13:50Mrs. Dupree.
13:50Senator, what happened?
13:52Yesterday she hit her wall.
13:54It's been worse by the hour.
13:56New medication?
13:57Can't keep it down.
13:59All right.
13:59Well, we'll get you admitted and contact Dr. Bauer.
14:02With your permission.
14:05Thanks.
14:06Tell me what you're experiencing.
14:09The fatigue and nausea have intensified.
14:12So has the pain.
14:14Where does the rank of the pain happen?
14:17From one to ten?
14:18Ten, ten.
14:19Make that a fifteen.
14:22We'll get you comfortable, okay?
14:24Dr. Bauer?
14:25I'm with his office.
14:27Would you please stay in case he has any questions?
14:30Of course.
14:31Right behind you, my love.
14:38No.
14:40Did Max make it out okay?
14:42Yeah.
14:43Good.
14:45But that wasn't cool dropping that on me on the elevator.
14:47Listen, man, I owe Max.
14:49And I couldn't make it to him without raising suspicion.
14:51But you?
14:52You could.
14:53So no harm, no foul.
14:55That's not entirely true.
14:56One of those guys made it inside?
14:58No.
14:58Ashley walked in on me right after I warned him.
15:00And Shanice's spidey senses were going up.
15:03But you handled it.
15:05But this is where this ends.
15:06I don't owe anyone anything.
15:08Look, relax, man.
15:09Everything's gonna shake out the way it's supposed to.
15:11Are you messing with me?
15:13They didn't just Nick and Max, okay?
15:14They marked him out good to teach him a lesson.
15:17Same thing could happen to me, or worse.
15:20So don't stand there talking like you could stop something that's already happening.
15:26Daddy!
15:27Just tell Mother to throw in some lip gloss.
15:30We're at the hospital.
15:32Can you tell your sister?
15:33She's with me.
15:34What happened?
15:36She had a bad night.
15:38And a worse morning.
15:40We're on our way.
15:40Don't try to stop us from coming, because...
15:42Come!
15:43But there's no rush.
15:44They're admitting her.
15:45The doctor's here.
15:46Bye, baby.
15:48As you know, Anita asked me to consult.
15:50Dr. Bauer?
15:52Is unavailable at the moment, but he'll be here as soon as he can.
15:55I'm so grateful to have someone of your expertise on Anita's team.
15:59What can you tell me?
16:00Well, until we get the blood work and run scans, you know more than I do.
16:04Fill me in.
16:04I need to see Anita.
16:07We can talk while you take me to her?
16:09Yes.
16:15Hi.
16:16We'll get you hooked up to some pain meds as soon as possible.
16:21It comes in waves, right?
16:23More like squalls.
16:26When it hits, just inhale.
16:28And exhale.
16:30Through the squall.
16:35Yeah, that's it.
16:38Thanks.
16:40Your heart rate's slightly elevated.
16:42BP's a little low.
16:44You have a low-grade fever.
16:46Your vitals aren't cause for alarm, though.
16:48No.
16:49Just my entire body.
16:55Okay, Probyrus ordered blood panel and a urinalysis, plus an IV drip for fluids, fever and pain.
17:01I'll pull your IV and get you started.
17:03If you don't want any water, how about some juice?
17:06No.
17:07But I do need something.
17:09Is Vernon out there?
17:10Yeah, he's in the hallway talking to Dr. McCormick.
17:12I can grab him.
17:13No, no.
17:14No.
17:15I have the right to update my file without anyone being informed, correct?
17:24Yes.
17:25You control what information is disseminated.
17:28Good.
17:29Good.
17:30Because I want a sign that do not resuscitate order.
17:37Max is safe, man.
17:38You don't got to pop off.
17:40I thought I could get my mom into a good place without this thing changing me.
17:44What happened?
17:45I warned him.
17:47I warned Max not to tell our friends outside about me.
17:50Come on, man.
17:50Max doesn't even know your name.
17:51He knows my face and he knows I work at Garland.
17:54Max wouldn't rat.
17:56Yeah, the look on his face after I threatened said as much.
18:00Made me sick.
18:02Grayson, man.
18:04You know, I justified doing this thing by telling myself that I would never get my hands bloody for real.
18:13But this is who I am now.
18:16I may not have laid a hand on Max, but I might as well have.
18:51We've taken blood and that drip's starting to make her comfortable.
18:54She's miles from comfortable.
18:56The medicine takes time, but you can go hold her hand and work your own magic.
19:05Can I talk to you?
19:07Yes.
19:14I know you hate being hooked up to all these, but I hope you can see now that it was
19:22best to come here.
19:26Hiding out was no answer.
19:29We have to face this.
19:35I haven't seen that look since my sister told you no spring flame.
19:40What I wouldn't give to have those kid problems again.
19:43I was updating the forms.
19:45We have patient sign, insurance, medical history, medical directives.
19:50You don't have to mind your HIPAA with me, Shanice.
19:53Mrs. Dupree asked me to consult.
19:55She wants to change her advance directive.
19:57She wants to stop treatment and sign a DNR.
20:00And that is her right.
20:03Patients can make that choice at any time, so long as they have the capacity to understand the risks, benefits
20:08and alternatives.
20:10Our impersonal beliefs should not be a factor.
20:13It is in my professional opinion that she was under extreme duress and that temporary pain shouldn't determine if she
20:19stays in the world.
20:20Please, just, just make sure this is what she really wants.
20:24I'll do what I can.
20:26Thanks.
20:27But I want the forms on hand.
20:33Good thoughts, Sissy.
20:35She's mother. She'll be fine.
20:36Yes, she will.
20:38Oh, Kat. I don't want her to be blindsided when she shows up at home and nobody's there.
20:45Hey, Mom.
20:46Granddad had to take mother to the hospital.
20:50Did the pain get worse?
20:51Yes, but we don't know anything else.
20:54Okay, um, should I light up the Dupree family phone tree on my way over?
20:59No, I'm with your Aunt Danny. Let us get the lay of the land first.
21:03Tell Grand.
21:06Tell her I'm on chapter three and she's right.
21:11Agatha Christie is a bona fide genius.
21:13I will tell her you love her.
21:16We have rules about excessive fawning.
21:19We can make an exception.
21:21Oh, I'm about to get on the elevator.
21:24I love you, Mom.
21:26I'll keep in touch.
21:30She's in the hospital.
21:31I heard. I'm so sorry.
21:47I'm so sorry.
22:02I'm sorry.
22:02My love, I don't want you to end up in this bed with me.
22:10You think I won't jump in there?
22:12I know you will.
22:15Please, Danny and Nicole might have questions.
22:27You spoke to Shanice.
22:29First, I need to ask you some questions.
22:32I'm not going anywhere.
22:35Is the medicine reaching your pain at all yet?
22:38It is slightly less intolerable.
22:45It's going to decrease.
22:48All these years of research and we're still guessing at pain.
22:52The medicine could or should sometime.
22:58You know what I know for sure?
23:02I can't go through another day like this.
23:05I wish I could tell you that tomorrow will be better.
23:10But the pain may even get worse before you turn the corner.
23:15Well, then what's the point of putting myself and my family through that if I'm just going to die anyway?
23:20Daddy, how is she?
23:24She's a...
23:27Just give me a minute.
23:43Oh, thank you.
23:46Initiating a hunger strike until you get back to mother?
23:49Borderly to 415.
23:52The Dupree's are in good hands.
23:54Mine and my auntie's.
23:56I don't want to interrupt them, but I just...
23:58Go home.
23:59I'll tell them I'll call you if they need anything.
24:01Dr. Roberts dial 821.
24:05I'll be texting you.
24:19You did this to help your mom.
24:20It doesn't change who you are at the core.
24:23You did the right thing.
24:24The rest was just you trying to self-protect.
24:25Don't put a shine on it.
24:28It's done.
24:29But we're not.
24:30We're still in this.
24:32And we have to rely on each other or we're both going down.
24:35One close call doesn't make us friends.
24:37Alone means you can't watch your back.
24:40Yeah, I've gotten used to alone this year.
24:42You've been in this for a year?
24:44Yeah.
24:46Well, I'm still new.
24:48And I'm still trying to figure out how deep this goes.
24:51How many people at Garland are involved in this ring?
24:55The ring's designed just so you know what you do.
24:57Nothing else.
24:59Well, you've got to have a contact there, right?
25:02I'm only contacting through text.
25:04Because that's how the guy at the top likes it.
25:06And that's the way I like it.
25:10I don't even like knowing you.
25:13I gotta get back to the lab.
25:21Granddad was so sure she'd be okay
25:22if I would have known.
25:24Hey, what could you have done
25:26that your grandfather didn't do?
25:28Since you don't know anything for sure,
25:31stop what if-ing.
25:32And focus on helping when your gran gets home.
25:34Yeah?
25:37If she comes home.
25:41Cancer's a thief.
25:44Stealing every which way that she can manage.
25:48She can't read because her fingers hurt.
25:53She has to lean on me to take even a few steps
25:56because she won't use the walker.
26:00And this morning...
26:05this morning, she could barely sit up at all.
26:08We're glad you got her here, Daddy.
26:10What is Dr. Bauer saying?
26:12He's not here yet.
26:14Monica's with her.
26:15Monica?
26:16Dr. Monica McCormick.
26:18She's Shawnice's aunt.
26:20She's head of one of the oncology departments
26:23at MD Anderson.
26:24Oh.
26:25That's one of the largest cancer centers in the world.
26:27And this Dr. McCormick,
26:29she's given her something for the pain?
26:32Then she'll feel better.
26:34And can accept
26:35that the rest of her extraordinary life
26:38is just on the other side of this dark chapter.
26:42I'm not so sure about that.
26:48This is not the time to underestimate yourself.
26:52I keep waiting to hit bottom
26:56that worst day
26:59before this turning point you mythologized.
27:03But it does not come.
27:05I had a patient who compared it
27:07to being in a holding pattern on a plane.
27:10You don't jump out of a plane
27:12because it's circling.
27:14Especially when there are still many moves to make.
27:17There are medications
27:19used with your current treatment
27:22that can mitigate the side effects.
27:25But first, I want to pinpoint the cause of your pain.
27:28Pain isn't usually associated
27:30with your current regimen.
27:32So, what?
27:33I have some other kind of cancer
27:35or something else entirely?
27:36I mean, I don't want to know.
27:38Even if it could end this pain?
27:42I have never
27:43been more certain
27:46that the body and spirit
27:49are separate things.
27:51I have loved this body.
27:53It has served me well.
27:58This is the body I've enjoyed and employed.
28:02The one that wined and dined
28:04and traveled and ran and swam.
28:09The one that danced all over those stages
28:11and belted out all that music.
28:15The one that Vernon worshipped
28:17and gave me my children.
28:22But right now,
28:24this is a house
28:25of pain
28:27and it's smoking me out.
28:31And heaven helped me.
28:33My spirit wants to be free of it.
28:36And what about that man out there
28:38and your big, fabulous family?
28:41If Vernon keeps watching this,
28:44he will not only climb in this bed with me,
28:46he will climb into my grave.
28:48Isn't it up to him how much he can handle?
28:50Up to all of them?
28:52I can't keep watching my family hurt
28:55because I'm hurting.
29:00This morning,
29:04this morning,
29:08I
29:11felt myself
29:13losing that last piece
29:15that ties me to this body.
29:18What piece is that?
29:21My
29:23I
29:26tried to sing
29:30but the chemo
29:31has left my throat
29:32raw
29:35and
29:36scorched.
29:39There was only this dry,
29:41burning whisper
29:44that used to be
29:46where my music lived.
29:51every breath
29:52scraped across my throat
29:53like glass.
29:58My voice
30:00is
30:01me
30:03and it's gone.
30:06I'm already gone.
30:09My family just doesn't know it yet.
30:13Now,
30:14why don't you let me see
30:16what's in that file?
30:18Are you going to continue
30:19to stand there
30:20and act like I don't know
30:21my own mind?
30:31I got Mack settled.
30:33Now he can start mending up.
30:35Thank goodness.
30:37Thank Grayson.
30:38How's he?
30:40Wow, I'm tight.
30:41But I made some headway.
30:43I pressed him for some info
30:44in the hierarchy
30:45but he told me
30:46he's completely in the dark
30:46that he only gets his messages
30:48through text.
30:49And you don't believe him?
30:51Nah,
30:51he's been at this for a year
30:53so I'm assuming
30:54he's met or seen
30:55his contact at Garland
30:56at least once.
30:58Well,
30:58keep working him.
31:00Something's got to give
31:01and hopefully
31:02that's Grayson.
31:02this could just be a setback
31:05not the setback.
31:08You're right.
31:10And you're late.
31:12You shouldn't have to sit here
31:14and watch me worry.
31:15There's no place
31:16I'd rather be.
31:19Nothing's more important
31:20than you.
31:25Wow.
31:27You called me
31:28the Anita Whisperer
31:30once.
31:32Yesterday
31:33I tried to shout down
31:35your mother's fears.
31:36You had a fight.
31:38I was trying
31:39to lift her up
31:41but I had
31:42the opposite effect.
31:44If mother didn't have
31:45bad days
31:46through all of this
31:47I would be worried.
31:49This is different.
31:52Then maybe it's time
31:53we send this
31:54red devil packing
31:55and get a new medicine.
31:57It's more than that.
32:00I know that woman's will.
32:05I'm afraid
32:06she's giving up
32:07her fight.
32:12Here's the DNR
32:13but I want to make sure
32:15that you understand
32:15what no extraordinary measures mean.
32:18If your heart stops
32:19there is no CPR
32:20or any
32:22resuscitation attempts.
32:24And then there is
32:25the question of nutrition.
32:26Shanice filled me in
32:28on all the
32:28inglorious details.
32:31I had a patient
32:32Charlotte
32:33who had the same
32:34initial diagnosis.
32:35Her cancer metastasized.
32:37Name a cancer
32:38she had it
32:40and we treated it
32:41and she fought.
32:42She was cured?
32:46Her tumor shrunk enough
32:47for her to go home
32:48but 18 months later
32:50they roared back.
33:03Oh, that's your idea
33:06of an uplifting story?
33:09Every patient
33:10wants a cure
33:12but my goal
33:14is time.
33:15Charlotte wanted to meet
33:16her granddaughter.
33:18She made it to her
33:19first birthday.
33:21Aren't there
33:22to pre-events
33:23milestones
33:24that you want
33:25to be there for?
33:28So many.
33:30But how does that work?
33:31Me having a
33:33coughing fit
33:34or passing out
33:35while my
33:36great-granddaughter
33:37is dancing
33:38at her cotillion?
33:39I will not
33:40pull focus.
33:41So then you don't
33:42want to be there
33:42at all?
33:42It's quality
33:45of time
33:46that matters.
33:49With any grace
33:51I can laugh
33:53rather than
33:55grit my teeth
33:57in pain
33:57or I can hug
33:59instead of
34:01nearly breaking
34:02at my husband's touch
34:03or maybe
34:06just maybe
34:09I'd be able
34:10to sing
34:10at my granddaughter's
34:12wedding.
34:13What if I were
34:14to tell you
34:17that this too
34:18shall pass
34:18with certainty?
34:20Would that be
34:21worth today's pain?
34:27Charlotte
34:28had a year
34:30and a half.
34:31You could have
34:32so much more time.
34:34The operative
34:35word there
34:36is
34:36could.
34:41You're
34:42Anita Dupree.
34:43You have
34:44built your
34:45life
34:46on defying
34:46every rule
34:47and that is
34:48a double-edged
34:49sword
34:50because
34:50you have
34:51broken down
34:52every barrier
34:53and then
34:53everything fell
34:54into place
34:54and on the
34:55other side
34:56you've been
34:57used to
34:58being the
34:58exception
34:59to the rule.
35:01Cancer
35:01does not
35:02care
35:02what your
35:03name is.
35:03We are
35:04trying to
35:04give you
35:05more time
35:06but you
35:07need to
35:07give us
35:08the opportunity
35:09to find
35:09the right
35:10medicine
35:10to find
35:11the right
35:12treatment
35:12time
35:13for you
35:14not to
35:15give up.
35:17But no
35:18guarantees
35:18right?
35:20You'd have
35:21a chance
35:21and you
35:23are
35:23Anita
35:24Dupree
35:25and lady
35:26I'd take
35:27those odds
35:28any day.

35:36up here?
35:37All set.

35:40on you.

35:50coming down
35:51from the
35:51pain?

36:00hug their
36:00mother.
