00:01Previously on Doc, I had a car accident.
00:03Lost a lot of my memory.
00:05This is too far.
00:06I'll retire the cape.
00:07I would settle for you committing to a therapist.
00:09I've been having memory seizures.
00:11She prescribed something?
00:12One milligram of lorazepam.
00:13I need you to change it to ten.
00:14Something wrong?
00:15She screwed up a dosage yesterday.
00:17I can't even practice.
00:19For how long?
00:19Jones assigning me a new neurologist.
00:21He'll be the one to assess.
00:22This one's from Liz, and she's definitely flirting.
00:25We have surgery scheduled with the vascular team for you.
00:27I'm not doing it, Dr. Heller.
00:29Now it will be gone.
00:45Good morning, my dear.
00:51You've reached the home of Ruby and Dante.
00:53Please leave a message after the talk.
00:56Hey, Pops.
00:58Just checking in.
00:59Not surprised you're not watching Mom's soul propers, but...
01:02Hoping maybe you're getting out of it?
01:04Anyway, I spoke to Bobby and Erica, and we were thinking...
01:07Maybe we'll all come up there in a few weeks?
01:09Little family reunion?
01:11Everybody really misses you.
01:13Call when you can.
01:14Okay, Pops?
01:15Will.
01:34There.
01:35In the medial prefrontal cortex, that's a new locus of activity.
01:38Hmm.
01:39And that's what's causing my memory seizures?
01:41It's certainly suggestive.
01:43But real-time data will allow us to correlate this area of brain activity with your symptoms.
01:47You understand that I need to keep pursuing my memories.
01:51I just want to stop the seizures and the side effects from the treatments.
01:55I do, Dr. Larson.
01:57Let's just be patient.
02:06Still looking for something to nail her.
02:09Keep scrolling.
02:12Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
02:13That one.
02:14What?
02:15It's an email from Dr. Walker.
02:17That's her shrink.
02:19To a Dr. Marks.
02:21Our girl's just CC'd.
02:25Those are her memory recovery sessions.
02:28It's gonna be fun.
02:30We knew he'd be back here like this.
02:32Yeah.
02:33He knew it too.
02:34I just...
02:35She had more fight in him.
02:37Hey, Dante.
02:38You're having a heart attack.
02:40That's why you're in so much pain.
02:42But we're starting meds to ease that.
02:44I know you have a DNR and you want comfort measures only.
02:47I promise we're gonna make this as painless as possible.
02:49Who would you like us to call?
02:51I have your son, Will, and your daughter, Erica, as your emergency contacts now.
02:59Re... reunion.
03:02Reunion?
03:04Reunion.
03:06Okay, what does that... what does that mean?
03:19Going home?
03:20That's a good sign.
03:22Hospitals are lots of fun.
03:23Unless you're the patient.
03:24Well, it's the doctor part I want to talk about.
03:26I got a new therapist.
03:28And I'm on the books three times a week.
03:31Plus, we're transitioning Amy's care to Dr. Marks.
03:33And I'm planning on spending more time with my wife.
03:35You're not in the hot seat, Gina.
03:36And why do I feel like you just came back from Max's office?
03:39Dealing with other people suffering all day, every day, can wear anyone down.
03:43Even a superhero can end up doing something self-destructive, like confronting a violent abuser in their apartment.
03:51That's what I told him.
03:52So compassion fatigue as opposed to me being crazy and out of control.
03:56I've known you for 24 years. I... I believe it's an accurate diagnosis.
04:01So my plans sound okay?
04:03Sounds fine. In addition to a weekly debrief with me.
04:12You look fairly miserable. What's going on, buddy?
04:15Spare me your faint compassion and just give me some pills.
04:18Okay, for what?
04:19Kidney stones.
04:20Flank pain started this morning. It's coming in waves. Yep.
04:24I went out last night with a couple of puffs.
04:27A bit dehydrated. That's what brought it on.
04:28I can hydrate, flush these out at home, just be a sport, write me some Vicodin.
04:34Out of curiosity, have you run a diagnostic urinalysis?
04:38No.
04:39There you go.
04:40I'm not wasting my time with this.
04:41And I am not prescribing a Schedule 1 narcotic without a proper workup.
04:45Dude, just get Jake. He'll do it.
04:46Dr. Heller's busy with a case, and I'm sure he wouldn't do it.
04:49I'm a doctor? I know my own body.
04:51And right now you're a patient, so shut up and pee in the damn cup.
04:59Hey, why aren't you in school?
05:01Second semester senior who already got into college.
05:05I figured you could use the company.
05:07Well, that's very sweet, but you really don't need to worry.
05:11Did I say I'm worried? I'm just here to support you.
05:15Are you going to use one hertz or two?
05:17I find one hertz works best for temporal interference, deep brain stimulation.
05:21And you can reach the medial prefrontal cortex?
05:23Easily. Most patients experience only mild tingling.
05:27Starting now.
05:31You notice anything?
05:32Nope.
05:35Now?
05:37Still nothing.
05:39Oh, yeah. That's something.
05:47Uh...
05:52Danny.
05:56I saw Danny.
05:58I'm sorry, who's that?
05:59Uh, he's... he's my son.
06:02That's the first time I've seen him.
06:04Interesting.
06:05And...
06:06other things too.
06:08So, so many.
06:09All from that missing period.
06:12Well, we have confirmation then.
06:13The area that we saw in the fMRI is definitely active and contributing to your latest episodes.
06:19Uh...
06:19You alright?
06:21Yeah, yeah, uh, I just...
06:24Oh!
06:24This is not what usually happens.
06:27I'm shutting this down.
06:29Yeah, uh, we could start again in a minute.
06:31Uh, no.
06:31We need to avoid further stimulation.
06:34Phenobarbital will calm the area.
06:36And stop the memory recovery.
06:38For now.
06:40No, you, you don't understand.
06:41I, uh...
06:44I, I lost my son.
06:46And, and, and these were new memories.
06:49From the last year of his life.
06:51And I'm sure that that's...
06:52Please, I can take the pain.
06:53What did we say before?
06:54About being patient.
06:56Pill.
07:00Uh...
07:05Now.
07:21Hey, is this Will?
07:22Yes.
07:23Hi, this is...
07:24Dr. Heller over at Westside Hospital.
07:26Um...
07:27We have your father here.
07:28Oh, God.
07:29How bad is it?
07:30He's having a heart attack and...
07:32I'm sorry to say the situation's dire.
07:34I'll be on the next plane.
07:35Listen.
07:36Your father's heavily medicated and he's barely verbal, but he did say one thing to us.
07:41What's that?
07:41The word reunion.
07:44Um...
07:44That's all he could get out.
07:46Yeah, I, uh...
07:48I left a message for him this morning.
07:50Me and my sisters are planning a family reunion.
07:53I'm sure you know this, but...
07:54He did refuse surgery a few months ago and...
07:57And he has a DNR, so I'm just trying to figure out if maybe he'd change his mind about things.
08:01Is surgery even possible now?
08:03I'm not sure.
08:04To be honest.
08:05It was very risky then and the situation is much more acute now, so...
08:08Well, if there's any chance, please...
08:11Just do what you can.
08:13Rachel's here.
08:14She says it's urgent.
08:15Listen.
08:16I'm...
08:16I'm very sorry about this.
08:18We'll just get here when you can and I'll stay in touch about the options, okay?
08:20Thanks, Doc.
08:27Hey, is me okay?
08:28She's fine.
08:30It's your dad.
08:31Our home phone number is still listed on his healthcare proxy form.
08:36He had a stroke on the golf course.
08:40Uh...
08:40Okay, well, um...
08:42Where's he at?
08:42Which hospital?
08:43I didn't want you to hear from a random person on the phone, so I came here.
08:48I am so sorry, Jake.
08:52He's gone.
09:08My dad's in town tonight.
09:10Oh, that's okay.
09:11We can make other plans for dinner.
09:14Or you could just join us.
09:16Um...
09:16Yeah.
09:17It's been a while since I met the parents.
09:20Well, he lives in Arizona and I don't know when he's gonna be back, so I don't know.
09:23I just...
09:24I thought it was time for him to, you know, be my boss.
09:37Are you ready to go?
09:38I can drive.
09:40I'm gonna stay here.
09:43What do you mean?
09:44I gotta take care of a patient.
09:46Can't someone cover?
09:50It's...
09:50It's important.
09:51I'll...
09:52I'll...
09:52Look, I'll be fine.
09:54Do you want me to call the cemetery or...
09:56I could ask Ali to do it.
09:57No, don't.
09:58My sister, she can't.
09:59Um...
10:00I'll handle it.
10:03Um...
10:04And...
10:04Can you...
10:05Not say anything to Mia?
10:08I wanna talk to myself.
10:11Of course.
10:12Yeah.
10:16Is everything all right?
10:18Yeah.
10:18That was, uh...
10:19A family thing.
10:20Nothing to do about it now.
10:21We need to get Dante to the cath lab.
10:23What for?
10:24I spoke with his son, Will.
10:25He said his family's planning a reunion for this summer, so clearly Dante wants to be there
10:29for that.
10:30He was so medicated.
10:31He was barely even conscious.
10:33Let's get him in a better shape and we can find out for sure.
10:35He has a triple A.
10:37Okay.
10:38Radiolottery approach.
10:38We just bypass it.
10:40This will be his fifth surgery in six years.
10:43There's no way his body can take it.
10:45And he told us a few months ago that he didn't want it.
10:47Obviously things can change.
10:49I love him too, Jake, but you know it won't work.
10:51We should just keep him alive long enough for his kids to get here and say goodbye.
10:54He can die.
10:55Any minute.
10:56One way or the other.
10:56We're doctors.
10:57This isn't palliative care.
10:58This is his daughter.
11:00Oh, I just...
11:01Erica, can you just hold on one minute?
11:03I think that we should talk to Dr. Ridley.
11:06No.
11:06No.
11:06I'm chief resident.
11:07This is my patient.
11:08I'm ordering the procedure.
11:09So call Dr. Patel and you tell him it's urgent.
11:11He's the head of the department.
11:12Yeah, I know who he is.
11:13Just see if he's available.
11:20Erica, I, um...
11:23This is Dr. Heller.
11:25I already spoke with Will.
11:26Not sure if he told you what's going on.
11:29Dad!
11:30Katie, something wrong?
11:32It's about Mom.
11:32She has a full day of neurotests and it's not going well.
11:35At all.
11:35Okay, slow down.
11:36Tell me what's going on.
11:37I don't know, but she came out of the lab with a nosebleed.
11:40Well, that can happen with all the stimulation.
11:42But Dr. Marks is excellent.
11:44Trust me, she's in really good hands.
11:46I don't want her to be alone today.
11:49Will you come, please?
11:51We're her only family.
12:00Is watching me do this everything you hoped it would be?
12:03And then some.
12:05Okay, you're done.
12:11You all right?
12:12I had a memory of Danny.
12:15Just now?
12:17I thought you took the medication.
12:19No.
12:19This morning.
12:20During the temporal interference.
12:22It was his seventh birthday and I could see the cake and the candle.
12:29He was blowing it out.
12:31Whoa.
12:32If I could just get back that last year with him.
12:36I mean, that's one of the things that's been torturing me.
12:39Yeah, of course.
12:47Amy?
12:49Yeah.
12:50I...
12:51It's just a lot.
12:53Right?
12:57I just don't know how I'm supposed to shake off Michael.
13:03So, this Michael guy is the CMO and she was married to him and then after the divorce, she started
13:11dating a different doctor at Westside.
13:13Dr. Heller.
13:14And she dated him twice.
13:16Before and after her accident.
13:18And she was his boss.
13:19They must have kept it hidden.
13:21This woman's a mess.
13:23This is how we're gonna get her.
13:27I've never seen the left and right medial prefrontal cortex so reactive.
13:31Is that new damage from the TMS treatments?
13:34Or her brain's trying to regenerate circuitry on its own.
13:37Causation is always elusive.
13:40The meds should be shutting down the reactivity.
13:42At this locus, I need to finish Full Connections brain mapping to know for sure.
13:46Well, one thing we know for sure, she's on the road to losing her ability to practice medicine if she
13:50keeps pushing herself the way she was.
13:52At some point, she might have to choose what's more important to her.
13:55Oh, I gotta take this.
14:00Hi, Dr. Rose. Yeah, thanks for getting back to me.
14:04I...
14:05Yeah, I have been feeling a bit fatigued, but my hand is steady and I just wanna make sure it's
14:11okay for me to operate.
14:15You rang?
14:17I am looking for a reasonable doctor who will give me patent meds for the kidney stone that I very
14:21obviously have.
14:23Will you just prescribe me a narcotic and let me go home?
14:26His urinalysis shows no red cells.
14:28Normal pH, no crystals, stones, or bacteria.
14:31Did you repeat the test?
14:33Three times. All negative.
14:35And I tried to explain to him that it could be negative with an obstructing stone.
14:39Sure, but then try a CT scan. Have you discussed that?
14:42Naturally.
14:43You are getting the scan and you're gonna have to wait like everybody else because radiology's backed up today.
14:48Thanks, Sonia. Knew I could count on you.
14:52Oh!
14:54I'm having his body flown in now from Arizona. I want him in the plot next to my mother.
15:02No, I can... I can come in in the morning and pick out a casket.
15:08Yeah.
15:10Thanks, I'll call you back in a few.
15:12His artery's open and there's a reasonable flow.
15:15Okay, great. His troponins are flat, so that's good.
15:18There's no muscle damage, but Dr. Patel still won't support a triple A.
15:23What, did you talk to him about it?
15:24He's the cardiologist.
15:25Well, that was for me to advocate.
15:27It's not a question of who advocates. He doesn't believe Dante will survive it and you'll never find a surgeon.
15:32And I'm sure he felt your opinion in there.
15:35I didn't sway him, Jake.
15:38I'm gonna ask you to step aside.
15:39What is going on with you today?
15:41Did you hear me?
15:42If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.
16:09If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.
16:11What an athlete he was.
16:13Three sports.
16:14Captain of all of them.
16:15Nope.
16:16That's not true. I was captain of baseball and lacrosse. That's it.
16:19Batted 400, senior year.
16:20Nope. Also a lie, 398.
16:22I'm rounding up.
16:23Yeah, let him bask in your glory.
16:25He would have played in college, but then he got caught up with Rachel.
16:30Dad.
16:31Okay, okay.
16:32He's never been a fan of my ex.
16:33Why not?
16:34Shh, shh, shh.
16:35I can see the smoke coming out of his ears now.
16:38That's not fair.
16:39Fathers always think they know best.
16:41Let's just leave it at that.
16:44Ouch.
16:50That's the ER.
16:52Ida Lincoln's back in with congestive heart failure.
16:55Levine's on call. She can handle it.
16:57Yeah, but you know, Ida, she's demanding and complicated.
17:00Better for everybody if I'm there.
17:01But he's leaving in the morning.
17:04You know, I know.
17:05Look, I'm sorry, Dad.
17:07I'll be back as soon as I can.
17:14You don't go stealing my girl now, you hear me?
17:16You'll see.
17:22Dante, can you hear me?
17:25I spoke to Will.
17:26He told me about your family's plans for that reunion.
17:31I feel like maybe that's what you were trying to tell me.
17:34That you want me to do whatever I can to get you there.
17:45If I'm right, I want you to squeeze my hand.
17:52Okay, that means surgery.
17:53It's a very risky surgery, but you want to live, right, Dante?
18:00His AAA is infernal. It's not seven centimeters.
18:03It's grown a centimeter and a half in the past six months.
18:05And you believe that qualifies as operable?
18:08I do, yeah.
18:09That's why you're not a surgeon.
18:11His aorta's gonna explode on the table.
18:13Yeah, probably.
18:14But if it doesn't, we get him years.
18:15I'm not gonna be his executioner, Dr. Heller.
18:17His family will sign off on this if that's what you're worried about.
18:20I'm not worried.
18:21Okay, I would think that you'd welcome the challenge then.
18:23Just make him comfortable.
18:25Give him all the time he has left.
18:39Do you know about Danny?
18:41Who? I don't...
18:42I just heard on one of the tapes that when Amy was married to the CMO,
18:45they had a seven-year-old son, and he died on a school field trip from heart issues.
18:50So?
18:51Charlie, she lost a kid.
18:53Anna, don't get mushy on me.
18:54No, I'm just saying the punishment should fit the crime.
18:56The crime is that our dad is dead.
18:58And we are a long way from an eye for an eye.
19:03Mapping visual cortex now.
19:07I saw that one.
19:09And that one.
19:11And that one.
19:12You can indicate by just raising your right index finger.
19:15Okay.
19:18Like that?
19:19I saw your finger move.
19:20No need to confirm.
19:24You okay, kiddo?
19:40I'm seeing increased brain activity here.
19:43Are you experiencing anything?
19:45No.
19:46Headaches?
19:48Seizures?
19:49Not at all.
19:50No.
20:12Dr. McClain.
20:13Hey, I was hoping I could talk to you.
20:14You badgered everyone in the department and you came to me last.
20:17Not a good start to a sales pitch.
20:19Come on, Walt.
20:19Look, he's fully recovered from his cardiac event.
20:21I already looked at the scan, Jake.
20:23I bet the Coolidge is gonna turn it down.
20:25You can count me out.
20:26I swear.
20:26What is it with you guys?
20:27You're just worried about protecting your numbers, aren't you?
20:29I'd watch your mouth.
20:30Right.
20:30Yeah.
20:31While you're killing him with your cowardice.
20:41You must be tired.
20:42Why don't you get some rest?
20:43I didn't tell you this before, but one of the things I keep seeing, it overtakes my memories
20:48of Danny, that man in the Christmas market, now I'm seeing him in a white coat.
20:56He's a doctor at Westside and he's arguing with me in my office.
21:02When you were chief?
21:04Yeah.
21:04He had a mask dangling around his neck, so it must have been during COVID.
21:09Do you have any idea who that could be?
21:11No.
21:12I mean, I think you had conflicts with a lot of people.
21:16But these flashes are so insistent and repetitive.
21:19I know my brain is trying to warn me about something.
21:22I'm sorry.
21:23I just don't know.
21:25During COVID?
21:26I was living with Dad and you weren't talking much.
21:31Oh.
21:39You guys must be starving.
21:40Why don't you go get something to eat?
21:42I think I will lie down for a bit.
21:50Everything's looking good to go for the surgery.
21:51We're just working on lining up the surgeon now.
21:55Thank you so much for everything you're doing.
21:57Of course.
21:58You know, my father speaks so highly of you.
22:01He's just...
22:04Are you sure this is what he really wanted?
22:08Because this is what Will has been pushing for.
22:10No, I completely understand.
22:12But Will did not push your father into this.
22:15He wants to live.
22:16For all of you.
22:25What around town has you been accosting surgeons left and right?
22:28I call it advocating for my patients.
22:30And you've fully dressed down McLean.
22:32Yeah, well, all any of them care about is just covering their asses.
22:35I am disappointed in you, Dr. Heller.
22:40You should have just come to me.
22:44You'll do it.
23:04Images are coming up now.
23:06Great.
23:06Let me know when you see them.
23:07Oh, my God.
23:09Peter, I just heard.
23:10Are you okay?
23:11Yeah, I'm fine.
23:13It's just a kidney stone.
23:14You poor thing.
23:16Is there anything I can do?
23:18Uh, not at the moment.
23:20Can I hit you back later?
23:22Sure.
23:23Sorry.
23:24Text me, okay?
23:26Okay.
23:27Sorry.
23:30A little young, no?
23:32She went after me, man.
23:34Sure, of course.
23:35Peter, can't help crapping where he eats.
23:38Fourteen hours a day, six days a week.
23:40I guess this is where everybody hooks up.
23:42Speaking of, uh, what's going on with Liz?
23:45Huh.
23:45Both kidneys and ureters clear.
23:47No dilation.
23:50Definitely not a kidney stone.
23:52Just saying.
23:52She's not gonna wait around forever.
23:54Switching to bone windows.
23:56And I think we've been over this, Sonya.
23:58I know you guys are talking about me in there,
24:00but it was a mistake, okay?
24:04So much pressure to perform.
24:06And she may not look it, but she was wild.
24:09I mean, like, up was down, forward was backwards.
24:11Okay, can we just turn off his mic?
24:14It was like being on a roller coaster with no safety bar.
24:17And, of course, I couldn't have her coming back to work
24:19saying that I wasn't up to the task, so...
24:20Gladly.
24:21Wait, wait, wait.
24:22Uh, Peter.
24:23That all sounds really exciting, but, uh, did you say it's like a marathon session?
24:28Oh, gosh, yeah.
24:30It must have been, like, three hours.
24:32I thought I was gonna pass out.
24:34Testicular torsion.
24:35Mm.
24:36Explains everything, and a simple exam will clinch the diagnosis.
24:40One of us has to go in there and, uh, handle them.
24:44And if you're right, this is gonna hurt like nothing he's ever felt before, isn't it?
24:48Oh, yeah.
24:49I'll speak of the trauma.
24:51Oh.
25:12Mom!
25:12Amy?
25:13Oh, my God!
25:14Amy!
25:15What's happening to her?
25:17Amy.
25:19She's still breathing.
25:20Get a crash car.
25:25I mean, I lost my wife at a young age, but, uh, a child.
25:30It is unimaginable.
25:33And your marriage couldn't survive it?
25:36No.
25:38But I still have a daughter.
25:42She's, uh...
25:42Well, she lives with her dad.
25:46I screwed that up.
25:47I haven't, uh, figured out how to fix it yet.
25:52Will there be anything else for you two?
25:54We're practically shutting the place down.
25:56We'll just take the check.
25:57Oh, your son already took care of it on his way out.
26:00Oh.
26:01Right.
26:04Thanks.
26:08Sometimes he overdoes it.
26:10I mean, you gotta let your old man pick up a check when he's in town.
26:15I'm sure he's just trying to thank you for everything you've done for him.
26:19No.
26:19No, he's just always been so damn self-sufficient.
26:23Even at 14.
26:25When his mother died?
26:27Never missed a school assignment.
26:30Got himself to all his practices.
26:32Took care of his younger sister.
26:34I put a roof over their heads and food on the table, but...
26:40I didn't really do the other, the part of the job, the being there part.
26:45And so by the time he went off to school...
26:49You know, sort of like that song, Cats in the Cradle.
26:54Well, I...
26:56I know how much he loves you.
26:59Yeah, sure, but love's the minimum.
27:02Right?
27:03End of the line, you gotta hope for something more, don't you?
27:13You know where you are?
27:15Westside Hospital.
27:16And I am?
27:18Dr. Marks.
27:19What happened?
27:20You collapsed.
27:21You remember any of it?
27:22I was scrolling through the physician directory.
27:25Looking for that doctor.
27:27I...
27:28I thought if he's still at Westside, I...
27:31I'm sorry, what doctor?
27:32There's someone that I keep remembering, a doctor, who is angry at me.
27:37And I just, I thought if he was in the directory, then I could match his face to...
27:43to the image that I have in my mind.
27:45I tested your phenobarb level, it's at zero.
27:47Which means you cheat the pill.
27:48So you could track this doctor?
27:51No.
27:51I told you that I saw my son.
27:55And that's...
27:57That's why.
27:58It was for him.
27:59But then I didn't get any more memories of him.
28:01I...
28:02I just keep seeing this man.
28:04Well, the IVS man's in it now, so the seizures will dissipate for sure.
28:08But I...
28:08I need to figure out who he is.
28:10The fact that you collapsed tells me that you could be headed for cerebral edema.
28:14Hemorrhages, or even a stroke, if you continue with his non-compliance.
28:18Are you hearing me?
28:20Mom!
28:22Yes.
28:24Yes, I understand.
28:25The loading dose will sustain you for the rest of the day.
28:27Going forward, you need to take an oral dose daily.
28:30I'll be checking your levels to make sure you stay on track.
28:33I will take it.
28:35I swear.
28:42Enough is enough, kiddo.
28:50I know.
28:51I know.
28:52I went too far.
28:53No, it's not too far, Mom.
28:54It's in the wrong direction.
28:56You're looking backwards when you need to move forward.
29:03I promise.
29:04I'll let it go.
29:08I know you can hear me.
29:09I just want to thank you for being the best dad that a kid could ever want.
29:14I'm here too, Dad.
29:16With all of your grandkids.
29:20And Will's on his way from St. Louis.
29:25His P.P.'s dropping.
29:26We've got to get him to the OR now.
29:28Will isn't here yet.
29:29I'm really sorry.
29:30We just can't wait any longer.
29:31Daddy, we love you.
29:33We love you so much, Pops.
29:35Wait, wait.
29:36Do you want to write something?
29:38Get some paper.
29:39We need paper and a pen.
29:40Here.
29:43Here, Daddy.
29:54For Will?
29:57Okay.
29:58Okay.
30:20Dr. Ridley's one of the best surgeons in the country.
30:23If this was my father, this is who I'd want in there.
30:26I'll come out and give you an update as soon as I know anything.
30:29Sorry, I'm late.
30:30The flight got delayed.
30:31Can I see Dad now?
30:32We waited as long as we could, but he just went under.
30:35Under what?
30:36He's anesthetized.
30:38He's anesthetized.
30:38Surgery started.
30:42Oh.
30:44Oh.
30:47Dad knew you were coming, Will.
30:50He wrote this for you.
30:55Who knew how much you loved him, Will.
30:58He knew.
30:59He knew.
31:02The urologist will take you to the OR soon to untwist you.
31:05Then you should be fine.
31:06Don't give me that Pollyanna crap.
31:08If the twist crimps off the artery, it's all over.
31:12Dead testicle.
31:13No sperm.
31:14No kids.
31:16Kids?
31:17Why not?
31:18Don't seem the type.
31:20Who the hell's the type?
31:21Every man's gotta be a dad.
31:25Optimal oxygenation.
31:31Scalpel.
31:42Hemodynamically stable.
31:52Open.
31:56Ready?
32:00Moment of truth.
32:02Yep.
32:08Cooley clamp.
32:17Start the clock.
32:40I think even if he was down to his last dollar, he wouldn't want you picking up the check.
32:47I was trying to show my appreciation for everything he's done for me.
32:49You should tell him that.
32:52I think he knows.
32:55He doesn't, Jake.
32:57He kinda thinks he failed you.
33:00What?
33:01Just that he wasn't around enough when you were a kid.
33:06And...
33:08He really misses you.
33:09Okay, well he's the one that moved to Arizona.
33:12Yeah, Minnesota's cold.
33:13True.
33:15He wants to spend more time with you.
33:18Talk more.
33:22He mentioned that song, Cats in the Cradle.
33:28When are you coming home, son?
33:30I don't know when.
33:32We'll get together then, Dad.
33:35So just don't wait for then, Jake.
33:55Please tell me I've given his...
33:56The surgery went well.
33:57Oh, my God.
33:59It was extremely complicated.
34:01His aorta, it was like tissue paper.
34:03But Dr. Ridley stitched together masterfully.
34:05Incredible.
34:06Can I see him now?
34:08He hasn't woken up yet.
34:11But, but he will, right?
34:12So the operation required more anesthesia than we had planned, so he is slow to regain consciousness.
34:17And we're not gonna know for sure that he's out of the woods until he does wake up.
34:22So he, he might not wake up at all?
34:26That's correct.
34:27Okay, when will we know?
34:29Two to three hours.
34:34Well, Casanova, surgery was a success.
34:37Yep, looks like some unlucky kid will be calling you Daddy someday.
34:42Peter Jr., baby, let's go!
34:45Peter, thank God, I was so worried.
34:47Oh, oh, okay, okay.
34:50Okay, then.
34:51We'll leave you two alone.
34:59Is it me, or was that just too much fun?
35:02No, no, no, no.
35:02That, that was as good as it gets.
35:05Hey.
35:08If the hospital gossip is true, I want to hear everything.
35:10Yeah, it doesn't get much better than that, but I think I'm still bound by HIPAA.
35:15Damn.
35:17Listen, I've been wanting to talk to you.
35:20Here I am.
35:22I like you, Liz.
35:24You are beautiful, smart, and you seem like the kind of woman any guy in his right mind would want
35:29to go out with.
35:32Just not you.
35:35Let's just say a workplace relationship can really twist things up.
35:40And I would hate for things to get weird between us.
35:46So, friends?
35:49Yeah, friends.
35:51Of course.
35:53Cool.
35:59Hey.
36:02How's he doing?
36:03How's he doing?
36:03Um, well, no change since he wore.
36:06There's still time.
36:09Fingers and toes crossed.
36:11Well, whatever happens, whether he makes it or not, thank you.
36:15You were a rock star in there.
36:17And you gave him a shot.
36:20Who is he to you?
36:22A father.
36:25Those kids one more time with him.
36:43I'm still here.
36:49You're still here.
36:51You're still here.
36:52You're here for a while now.
36:54Reunion.
37:00Hey.
37:11I love you, Pops.
37:14I love you so much.
37:26So, you pulled it off.
37:28Yeah, well, I think I had some help from the man upstairs on this one.
37:32The man?
37:35Look, um, about earlier, I'm sorry.
37:39I think this just got a little personal.
37:40No.
37:41But if there is something going on, you know I'm here, right?
37:45Yeah, of course.
37:58You got to hear this.
38:00Got something good?
38:20You realize we can blow up all of our relationships?
38:22With this?
38:33She barely touched her food.
38:35I think this is all too much for her.
38:40That's how this day started.
38:42She came to me because she was overwhelmed.
38:45She shouldn't have to worry about taking care of her mother.
38:48Especially not after everything she's been through.
38:50Yeah, she's had to grow up fast.
38:52But sometimes she thinks she can handle too much.
38:58Maybe she needs to go home with you.
39:02Just for a bit.
39:05But the last thing I want is for her to feel like I'm pushing her away.
39:09She's 18.
39:11And pretty damn smart.
39:13Why don't we just talk to her about it honestly and let her decide?
39:19Yeah, that'd be great.
39:23Thank you, Michael.
39:25I'll go get her.
39:36So it means they're gone and we won't be able to see them again.
39:39Not ever?
39:41No.
39:42Not ever.
39:43But we will try and keep them in our hearts.
39:46That we can do for as long as we live.
39:48And then it's kind of like they're still here with us, but they're just inside of us.
39:53Another chance to say goodbye.
40:00Say goodbye.
40:05Give me one more day.
40:10Another chance to say goodbye.
40:17Hello?
40:18Hey.
40:20It's Jake.
40:23I know.
40:24Call her ID.
40:26Oh, yeah.
40:30I heard you had a rough day today.
40:32Intense.
40:33But I'm okay.
40:35I saw Katie and Michael there with you.
40:37Yeah, Katie kind of dragged him into it.
40:41She was worried.
40:43And then I had some memories of Danny.
40:46Wow.
40:47Was that the first time?
40:50Yeah.
40:51Well, I can see why you'd want to chase those.
40:54Yeah, the whole thing kind of freaked Katie out.
40:56So she went back to Michael's for a bit.
41:00I'm sorry.
41:01That must be really tough.
41:04Are you okay?
41:05You sound...
41:06I don't know.
41:11Um, my dad died this morning.
41:17Oh.
41:18I'm so sorry Jake.
41:20Yeah.
41:21Yeah, it was a stroke.
41:24He wasn't even sick.
41:25I don't suppose I ever met him.
41:28Uh, he did.
41:29Yeah.
41:30Yeah, once.
41:31Oh.
41:32I wish I could remember that.
41:36We, uh...
41:37We all went out to dinner one time.
41:39And I guess he kind of opened up to you
41:42because you told me there were some things I needed to tell him.
41:45And did you?
41:47Uh, no.
41:50Nope.
41:51Um, and that was the last time I saw him.
41:54I just...
41:56I always thought I had more time, you know?
41:58Yeah, we always do.
42:01Until we don't.
42:09I really missed you today.
42:14I miss you every day.
42:20Do you think you could be there?
42:22At that, uh...
42:23funeral?
42:24Of course.
42:27You know, even though he only met you that one time,
42:28my daddy, he...
42:29he really loved you.
42:32No.
42:33If he's anything like his son,
42:35I'm sure I loved him.
43:04He loves you.
43:06He loves you.
43:06He hates you.
43:07No.
43:14I need to be careful.
43:14No.
43:19It's you.
43:23Oh.
43:26No.
43:28It's me.
43:29It's me, yeah, yeah.
