00:05After that little scare with Anna, I just got this knot in my chest every now and then.
00:11I have decided to step away from teaching because I already found the best possible replacement.
00:17Me?
00:17You must have some kind of protege who's ready to take the reins.
00:20What happened?
00:21I'm thinking about retiring.
00:23I haven't had a panic attack since medical school.
00:27I'm in the candle at both ends.
00:28I started to volunteer at a suicide hotline.
00:31Being the guy on the other end of the line, I don't know, it kind of helps.
01:19Greater Chicago Lifeline, this is Dan.
01:22What's going on tonight?
01:28Hello?
01:31Are you there?
01:32Did I lose you?
01:38I'm here.
01:39Oh, there you are.
01:41Tell me what's happening.
01:44I want to die.
01:48Thank you for your honesty.
01:51I also appreciate you saying that out loud because that's not easy to do.
01:58It's all I can think about.
02:00My brain just keeps, I don't know, running in circles.
02:05It always comes back to that.
02:07I can't eat.
02:08I can't sleep.
02:11Not sleeping absolutely sucks.
02:14Do you mind if I ask your name or at least, you know, what you'd like me to call you?
02:22It's Gio.
02:23Gio.
02:25Okay, Gio.
02:27It was an accident.
02:29It was my fault.
02:31What was?
02:32What was your fault?
02:36I killed my girlfriend.
02:40Okay.
02:42Think it might help to, um, tell me what happened?
02:47Why?
02:48Why?
02:48How would that help?
02:50Well, you know, you said that it was your fault and that it was an accident, which is interesting
02:55because, you know, I mean, accidents are, well, I mean, they're accidents, right?
02:59I mean, they're not on purpose.
03:03We went to a holiday party.
03:05By the end of the night, she was pretty hammered, but I only had a few beers, so I drove
03:11us home.
03:13She started feeling sick, so I was driving pretty fast.
03:18I didn't want her to puke in the car, you know what I mean?
03:20Oh, I sure do.
03:20That's the worst.
03:22Yeah.
03:25We were coming up on a big intersection when the light turned yellow, so I gunned it.
03:34And out of nowhere, a woman stepped into the crosswalk early.
03:40I slammed on my brakes.
03:42I tried to see around her, but the car spun out of control and slammed into a traffic pole on
03:51the passenger side.
03:57When I looked over at her, her eyes were open, but she was gone.
04:07Man, I'm just so sorry, Gio.
04:09That sounds awful.
04:11I mean, awful.
04:12It's like a tape loop in my brain.
04:15It hurts so much, and it never, ever stops.
04:18I need to make it stop.
04:21Okay.
04:21You know, there is a big difference, though, right, between being involved in an accident and intentionally causing someone's death,
04:30right?
04:31And I want you to trust me on this.
04:32Like, grief and guilt are really, really good at blurring the difference.
04:37It was my job to get her home safe.
04:41You want to know what the cruelest thing is about accidents that happen really quickly?
04:45It's that after the fact, we slow them way down, and then we start to play them over and over
04:52again in our head, which creates the illusion that we might have done something differently, right?
04:58That we could have somehow created a different outcome, when the truth is that that was just never, ever going
05:04to happen.
05:09Look, you're clearly a nice guy, but none of this stuff is going to bring her back.
05:15No, it's not.
05:16And I can't even imagine how difficult it must be to accept that.
05:22Gio, can I ask you, do you have anything with you that you might use to hurt yourself tonight?
05:29I couldn't.
05:31Got it.
05:32And, uh, where is the gun right now?
05:37Okay.
05:40Look, I'm going to ask you to do something for me, all right?
05:42And that is, I just want you to put it somewhere, just for now, put it somewhere where you can't
05:47see it.
05:52You still there, buddy?
06:00Sometimes it can actually help to talk about people that we've lost, right?
06:06You think that might help to talk about her a bit?
06:08I mean, there is no wrong answer to this question.
06:11I'm-I'm just asking.
06:15Her name is Darby.
06:20She's gone.
06:22Forever.
06:25You know what?
06:26This-this is a mistake.
06:28What is?
06:30What-
06:31Gio, look.
06:32It's so important that you feel this stuff.
06:35Look, you-
06:35It is.
06:36You can't possibly understand.
06:38It's torture.
06:39Buddy, listen.
06:40And I can't do it anymore.
06:41No, no, you look-
06:42No, no, I'm sorry.
06:44Gio, listen.
06:45Lost like this brings a kind of pain that-that can't be solved or explained away.
06:50You just got to talk about it.
06:51You just got to feel it, right?
06:52But just because you're feeling it doesn't mean you have to act on it.
06:55Feeling guilty doesn't mean you don't deserve-
06:59Gio.
07:23I don't know.
07:25I'm running in circles and it always comes back to that.
07:27I can't eat.
07:28I can't sleep.
07:30I can't sleep.
07:49Hi.

09:30to do with me this is about you whenever you start fixating on my life it means something's going on

09:41that one okay how about this you go to work i'll wash my clothes and we'll pretend this conversation
09:47never took place okay so could your supervisor trace the call using his phone number only emergency
09:57services is allowed to do that and get this once we make that move right once we escalate it that's
10:03it
10:04no follow-up allowed whatsoever it's a legal thing right we are not allowed to find out what happened
10:09one way or the other damn that's brutal tell me about it yeah but look you did everything you can
10:14and you don't know what happened and maybe that's a good thing you also know what you signed up for
10:20right of course i do so come on daniel you can't save everybody why not
10:32oh hey do you have a moment i do talk later maybe a little cocktail after work yes please
10:40all right i have a patient that just came in travis abbott says he fell and hit his head
10:46but he's been knocked around pretty bad uh there was blood and perineal lacerations near his rectum
10:52and his tox screen came back positive for ghp oh okay you're thinking sexual assault yeah but
10:58he won't go there lead the way i don't know what the big deal is all right i i i
11:04had too much to

11:08a
11:09concussion and dr ripley said i don't so should i please go home now here's the thing we do need
11:14to
11:14inform you that we are legally obligated to reach out to law enforcement and provide you access to
11:20counseling when we're confronted with evidence wait i'm fine okay
11:30you know um my dad he wasn't around long but uh he did teach me to handle pain with silence
11:38because that's what real men do right someone kicks your ass you suck it up someone makes you cry
11:43you suck it up but that crap eats you up inside trust me it's not worth it you gotta learn
11:55to
11:56ask for help
12:03oh that was super moving but none of it applies to me
12:09got it i really just have one more question screw you go fuss over somebody else who do y'all
12:19think
12:19you are my model
12:20you creeping on your daughter's facebook page dr charles
12:33i'm not creeping on anything it's my it's my daughter and it's a public platform i last checked
12:38how about you mind your own business
12:44what do you mean how do you know that well because i follow her and you don't
12:57well if you must know i think she might have a new boyfriend and i'm just worried he's a little
13:02sketchy anna has a new boyfriend what she's got a new new boyfriend how many boyfriends does she have
13:09dr charles you available for a consult yeah okay 32 year old sage ellison she claims she's
13:19in searing abdominal pain and is demanding i perform exploratory surgery and she
13:24put him in a real show too i ran every test under the sun and i didn't find anything so
13:29what
13:30you're saying is you think we might have a big time hypochondriac in there definitely thank you
13:36thank you so could you give me just a rough idea of when you first became aware of of the
13:43pain
13:44about two years ago okay and always pretty much been concentrated in your digestive system yeah it
13:53always starts off as minor but inevitably it always gets a lot worse i keep losing weight because
13:59eating is torture i mean it sucks sounds like it anything i don't know stressful going on in your
14:08life at the time there it is what skepticism you're a psychiatrist so you think i'm either drug seeking
14:18or it's all in my head the only thing i was thinking is that you didn't answer my question
14:25are you okay sage
14:29do you really care actually i do
14:35no nothing emotionally stressful happened in my life that triggered me
14:42but i get it i'm a woman i'm used to men discounting my physical pain
14:49all right i hear that but what i was about to say was people tend to start making moral judgments
14:57you
14:58know when we can't identify traditional sources of pain and as far as i'm concerned you know like pain
15:04it's pain do you know how many stories i've heard of doctors discounting a woman's pain only to later
15:10discover that she had cancer and that by then it was terminal because too much time had been wasted
15:17are you worried that this could be cancer that's my point i don't know
15:23but my stomach feels like it's being ripped apart by a chainsaw and nobody seems to care
15:29so please find someone who does or even better just send someone down here to prep me for my surgery
15:44oh it's like a table with my brain oh it hurts so much and it never ever stops i need
15:51to make it
15:59oh come on
16:04what's the problem
16:06naomi just schooled with me on wordle again what's the word lunar

21:01three times well he hasn't posted in like a month and a half i hope he's okay what do you
21:07mean do you
21:09think he relapsed alara i am very well aware of how busy you are and so i just wanted to
21:17uh thank you
21:18again for taking the time to come in and talk to me about your sister i really appreciate it just
21:22understand i don't want to see sage and she can't know i was here you have my word
21:30so it sounds to me like maybe you guys aren't really in touch right now not for the last five
21:35years you mind if i ask why let me guess why i'm here sage is an unbearable pain and she
21:47wants
21:47emergency surgery to fix it but you can't seem to find anything wrong okay so this has happened before
21:58sages my kid sister we grew up in the foster system musical families some nice some not so nice
22:10but when they weren't nice i was always there to protect her but when i aged out of the foster
22:15system
22:16One kid cracked her skull with a bat,
22:18and she had emergency surgery.
22:21The doctors and nurses knew her situation,
22:23so they showered her with attention to make up for it.
22:27She's been chasing that high ever since.
22:31Did it ever occur to you the possibility
22:33that Sage's pain might be real to her?
22:37You're giving her too much credit.
22:39The mind can be extraordinarily adept
22:41at creating physical pain, Allura. It can.
22:44She's not in any pain.
22:47She's just a liar.
22:48Well, the attention-seeking behavior you're describing
22:52is at the core of a very serious condition
22:54called factitious disorder,
22:55or, as it's more commonly known,
22:58you know, Munchausen syndrome.
23:00I don't care what it's called.
23:02I just know I can't deal with it anymore.
23:04I blamed myself for a long time.
23:07Maybe if I'd taken her with me when I turned 18,
23:09she'd be normal.
23:14Sage kept me on the hook with that guilt.
23:16Well, she kind of weaponized it, didn't she?
23:18You're damn right.
23:19I believed her lies.
23:22Enabled her.
23:24Defended her to doctors who knew better.
23:27Until I realized
23:28I had to cut her out of my life
23:30if I was ever going to actually have one.
23:39It was my fault.
23:43I killed my girlfriend.
23:46Hi.
23:47I'm Dr. Charles.
23:48Dr. Frost asked me to stop by.
23:50Lee Holloway.
23:51But I'm not the patient.
23:53Who?
23:54He is.
24:03Well, hello there.
24:05What is, uh,
24:07what is your name?
24:08You know cats don't talk, Dr. Charles.
24:11Excellent point.
24:12What is this, uh,
24:13this kitty's name?
24:15Slater.
24:19But I'd call him Adelaide
24:21for your own safety.
24:22Adelaide it is.
24:23Uh, Lee brought him in
24:25with chronic vomiting.
24:26He's been eating cat food.
24:28Uh-huh.
24:29And, um,
24:30how long has Adelaide
24:31been doing that for?
24:32Three days.
24:33Since our cat died.
24:35Oh.
24:36Well, I'm so sorry.
24:39Adelaide was my
24:40partner in crime
24:41for 18 years.
24:43I adopted her
24:44my freshman year at DePaul.
24:45Pre-husband,
24:46pre-motherhood.
24:48She got me through
24:49many breakups.
24:51But it's a pretty extreme way
24:53of trying to make me feel
24:54better, isn't it?
24:55Lee, would you mind
24:55if I just had a moment alone
24:57with Adelaide?
24:58Would that be all right?
25:00Of course.
25:01Just follow me this way.
25:07Adelaide, why don't you just,
25:08um,
25:09want me to jump up on the bed?
25:10There's a lot of fleas
25:11on the floor.
25:16Wow.
25:17So, look,
25:19I am gonna ask you
25:21a few questions,
25:23okay?
25:23And how about,
25:25if the answer is yes,
25:26you meow,
25:28and if the answer is no,
25:30you just don't say anything.
25:33Sound good?
25:35Okay.
25:37Maybe the reason
25:38that you turned into a cat
25:39was because your,
25:41your mom was so sad
25:42and you wanted
25:43to make her feel better?
25:46Hmm, okay.
25:47Well, look,
25:48I think it's so wonderful
25:49how hard you're working
25:51to make your mom feel better.
25:52But I want to let you
25:53in on a little secret.
25:55Moms actually love
25:56their kids more than anything.
25:58Anything in the whole wide world,
26:00even their favorite pet.
26:03So,
26:04what I think
26:05is that who mom
26:06actually misses the most
26:09is Slater.
26:18It was my fault.
26:20What was your fault?
26:21Mommy had Jersey chocolates
26:23on the top shelf
26:25of the pantry.
26:26I'm not supposed to know
26:28because she doesn't want me
26:30eating too much sugar.
26:32Hmm.
26:33So I snuck in the pantry
26:36after she went to bed
26:37one night
26:38and ate with you.
26:39But I forgot
26:40to put the chocolates
26:41back on the shelf.
26:44I left them on the floor.
26:47Oh,
26:48I see.
26:49And Adelaide found them.
26:52Mommy found her dad
26:53in the morning.
26:56She'll never forgive me.
26:58Yes,
26:59she will.
27:00I promise you that.
27:02But
27:03first,
27:03we have to tell her
27:04what happened.
27:05I know that that sounds scary,
27:07but I'm going to help you.
27:08Okay?
27:09And after we do,
27:12trust me,
27:13everybody's going to feel
27:14so much better,
27:16especially you.
27:23What kind of doctor
27:24are you?
27:25Why do you ask?
27:26I thought I was going to
27:28have to be a cat forever.
27:30Oh.
27:30Well,
27:31I'm really glad
27:31that I could help.
27:34Should we talk to Mom?
27:35Okay.
27:37Okay.
27:37Okay.
27:39Okay.
27:45Okay.
27:50Any luck?
27:51Any leads on Gio's phone?
27:53Don't worry, Dan.
27:54I kept your name off him.
27:56Since his life was
27:56at an imminent risk,
27:57I was able to use
27:58accident circumstances
27:59to trap the phone.
28:01Fantastic.
28:02And?
28:03And
28:04it was purchased
28:05at a 7-Eleven.
28:06Okay,
28:07as you go.
28:08No database
28:08can ever hit the number,
28:09so I got up quick
28:10on a trap and trace
28:11ping order,
28:12but it was turned off
28:14right after your hotline.
28:15Oh.
28:17Phone to your ping.
28:18Got an area downtown,
28:19but it's so dense
28:20with high rises,
28:21and the ping has
28:22a 1,000-meter range
28:24of error.
28:24So it's like
28:25kind of a needle
28:27in a haystack thing.
28:28I did my best.
28:28I tried to track
28:29every Gio,
28:30every Giovanni.
28:31Nothing.
28:32So,
28:33what are you thinking?
28:33Kind of a dead end?
28:35Wish I had more for you.
28:37Look, buddy,
28:38I knew this was
28:38a long shot.
28:40I just really
28:41appreciate you
28:42looking into it for me.
28:43Really, I do.
28:44Okay?
28:45At least I can do, Doc.
28:46So you're calling me
28:47a liar?
28:48No.
28:49You just told me
28:50my pain isn't real.
28:51It's not what I said
28:51at all.
28:52What I said was
28:53just because there
28:53could be
28:54a psychological element
28:55at play here
28:56doesn't mean that
28:57this is any less
28:58real to you.
29:00Okay, yeah,
29:00Great Mother Teresa,
29:02but...
29:02but our nervous systems
29:04can learn
29:05to express
29:06emotional pain
29:07in the form
29:08of physical symptoms.
29:10There it is again.
29:12What did I tell you?
29:13It's all in my head.
29:14I know what I'm saying.
29:14What I'm saying is
29:15that your body
29:16and your mind
29:17could be colluding
29:18in ways you're not
29:19even aware of
29:20because it's not voluntary.
29:21Stop hiding behind
29:22all your fancy
29:22double talk
29:23and send me someone
29:24who will actually listen.
29:25Sage,
29:26trust me I'm listening.
29:27You're so full of it.
29:28I mean,
29:29do you actually know
29:30how full of it you are?
29:31I understand
29:32the power of attention.
29:34Trust me.
29:35You know,
29:36medical attention included
29:37for people
29:38who feel lonely
29:39and abandoned.
29:41Oh,
29:42I'm lonely
29:43and abandoned,
29:45am I?
29:46Well,
29:47you're a human being.
29:48Okay.
29:49Well,
29:50if I need medical attention
29:52to feel whole,
29:54do you know
29:55what that makes you?
29:56I don't know.
29:57What does that make me?
29:59The freak
30:00who needs sick people
30:02like me
30:03to feel whole
30:03because fixing us
30:05is how you feel important.
30:09You should see your face.
30:12I nailed it,
30:13didn't I?
30:15You need me.
30:17I'm the damn drug
30:19you're strung out on.
30:20You need us
30:21so that you can feel useful,
30:23so you can BS yourself
30:24into believing
30:25you're actually helping.
30:30Come on,
30:31Dr. Charles.
30:32Hit me with some more
30:33of your fancy crap
30:34so you can feel better
30:35about yourself
30:35and feed your delusion.
30:39Because the truth is
30:41you're a useless fraud
30:44and you want to know
30:45what's really sad?
30:47Everybody knows it
30:49but you.
30:59Look,
30:59you're a truly nice guy.
31:01None of this
31:01things are gonna
31:02bring her back.
31:03Oh, sorry.
31:04I'm sorry.
31:05Head it out.
31:06Uh, yeah,
31:06my boyfriend and I
31:07are grabbing
31:07deep dish at Pequod's.
31:09Oh,
31:10well,
31:10you're not gonna regret that.
31:11Yeah,
31:11I can't wait.
31:18Incoming.
31:23Doris,
31:24I noticed
31:24your friend requested
31:25my new boyfriend today.
31:29Oh,
31:31yeah,
31:31I
31:33don't know.
31:34She was snooping
31:34on my behalf.
31:35I put her up to it.
31:37Yeah,
31:37I put that part together
31:39all by myself.
31:40You said he wasn't
31:41your boyfriend.
31:42I think we should talk.
31:44Yeah,
31:44let's talk.
31:53You are many things
31:54but internet sleuth
31:55is not one of them.
31:56Honey,
31:56maybe I
31:57overstepped
31:58a little bit.
31:58Oh,
31:58maybe?
31:59Honestly,
32:00I was freaked out
32:00by our conversation
32:01this morning.
32:02Of course,
32:02you were entitled
32:03to a private life.
32:04Oh,
32:04thanks so much
32:05for getting that,
32:05Dad.
32:06But I mean,
32:06just so you know,
32:07the program
32:07of Alcoholics Anonymous
32:08actively discourages
32:11relationships
32:11in the first year
32:12of sobriety,
32:13okay?
32:13Because it's just
32:14a very risky proposition.
32:17Wow.
32:18This from the man
32:19who spent years
32:19preaching non-judgment
32:20of recovering addicts.
32:22I'm not judging anybody.
32:22I'm trying to protect you.
32:23You know,
32:24bad idea for you,
32:25terrible idea for him.
32:26Dr. Drake
32:26would have said
32:27the same thing
32:27about Johnny.
32:29Jake,
32:29because after all,
32:31didn't the poor fellow
32:31just relapse?
32:32Dad,
32:33he had a couple of drinks.
32:34That's called a relapse.
32:35He's fine.
32:35He's going to meetings again.
32:36Great.
32:37Does he know
32:38about your situations?
32:39Does he know
32:39about your history?
32:40About, you know...
32:41My suicide attempt?
32:42Yes, Dad, he does.
32:44Good.
32:45Honey,
32:46I'm just...
32:47You gotta...
32:48Oh, let me guess.
32:50Dealing with such
32:50complex emotions
32:51and attachment
32:52could lead to a relapse
32:53of depression
32:53or worse,
32:55suicidal ideation?
32:57Is that what
32:58you were going to say?
32:58I almost lost you.
33:00Okay?
33:03Sharon called me
33:04and told me
33:04you'd been in an accident
33:05and that you were
33:06in critical condition.
33:07So Robin and I,
33:08we got in the car
33:09and we drove here.
33:11And it was the longest
33:1215 minutes of my life
33:13because I was terrified
33:14that I would get here
33:16and find you dead!
33:17So you just be careful
33:19around this topic
33:20and you cut me some slack!
33:24Please!
33:27Please!
33:28Please!
33:29Please!
33:31Please!
33:42Please!
33:44Stop!
33:49Hi, Dr. Charles.
33:52You okay?
33:53I'm fine.
33:56And clearly
33:57not as good as you two,
33:58but, uh,
33:59thank you for asking.
34:21Dr. Charles?
34:23What are you doing?
34:24Looking for the Big Dipper?
34:26No.
34:27It's a surprise for Naomi.
34:31Oh, wow.
34:32Yeah, but her shift ends any minute,
34:36and she's going to walk in here, so...
34:38Buddy, I think I might have just seen her leaving the hospital.
34:41Wait, really?
34:42Yeah.
34:43Do you have any idea where she went?
34:45Mm-mm.
34:47Damn it.
34:49Okay.
34:50If you must know, I was taking your advice.
34:54I know it's kind of corny, but I was trying to,
34:58I don't know, make her day.
35:02Well, if it's any consolation, um,
35:06I think you might have just made mine.
35:09Thanks.
35:13Excuse me.
35:14Yeah, go ahead.
35:21Hi, Sharon.
35:22Where are you, Daniel?
35:23I am right behind the doctor's lounge.
35:27Listen, I need you to come up to my office right away.
35:32Something wrong?
35:33We have a situation, so don't talk to anyone.
35:36Just come straight up here.
35:39I'm on my way.
35:46It's torture, and I can't do it anymore.
35:50You know what?
35:51This is a mistake, this thing.
35:53I have some distressing news.
35:56St. Allison just filed an official complaint against you.
36:02Daniel?
36:05Daniel?
36:07What?
36:08Are you okay?
36:10Yeah, I'm fine.
36:11What's going on?
36:12Sorry, what were you saying?
36:13Sage Ellison just filed an official complaint against you.
36:18On what grounds?
36:19Well, she claims you verbally abused her a few hours ago.
36:23That is a steaming load of crap.
36:25Well, she also claims you accused her of faking her abdominal pain for attention.
36:30I promise you, the only person who got abused in that room was me.
36:35You do know I have to go through the motions of processing this complaint.
36:41Why?
36:43Sharon, nothing happened.
36:45Do you not believe me when I tell you that?
36:46Yes, of course I believe you, but this is about optics.
36:51Come on, you dismiss this kind of stuff all the time.
36:54Daniel, it's a little different when the accused is your best friend.
36:59Now, wouldn't you say?
37:00Come on.
37:01This is unbelievable.
37:02This is unbelievable.
37:03Okay, what is wrong with you?
37:05What are you not telling me?
37:09What's that supposed to mean?
37:10Not telling you what?
37:14You don't believe me.
37:15You don't believe me.
37:16Wait.
37:16No, no.
37:17You don't believe me.
37:18Daniel, wait a minute.
37:20Just slow down.
37:21I'm worried about you.
37:23This is not like my friend.
37:24Yeah, well, right back at you.
37:26Maybe your friend doesn't like being called a liar.
37:27Okay, you know what?
37:28Maybe you need some more personal time.
37:31How about that?
37:31No, what I need is maybe take Howie's offer more seriously.
37:35That's what I need.
37:36Okay, so you were considering it?
37:38You were just lying to me this morning?
37:39I have never lied to you.
37:41Never.
37:44And I was not considering it, not for a second.
37:48But I sure as hell am now.
37:59Hey, yo, right here.
38:00Can you all stand by one second?
38:02Yeah, thank you.
38:03OR3 is ready for her.
38:05What happened?
38:06Uh, Sage just swallowed some drain cleaner.
38:08What?
38:09Cleaners were here earlier.
38:10She must have stolen it off the cart.
38:12She was screaming at the top of her lungs when I came in.
38:15On exam, she had significant erythema and ulceration in her mouth.
38:18Who knows what her esophagus looks like?
38:20What was she screaming about?
38:21Crazy stuff.
38:22Something about her dad, I think.
38:23Am I sick enough for you now, Pop?
38:27Does that mean something to you?
38:31Is, um...
38:32She couldn't make it.
38:33If she didn't just put a huge hole into her esophagus or stomach
38:36and she doesn't start to hemorrhage in the next ten minutes, maybe.
38:38Let's get her upstairs to surgery.
39:12Let's get her upstairs.
39:18Oh, my God.
39:40I'm ready, Mr. President.
39:46I'm ready.
39:46I'm ready again.
39:48I said what again?
39:49I'm going to start.
39:51Is that ready?
39:53You're on me.
39:54I love the size before the man.
39:55I want to get home in time to start working.
39:57I'm covered.
40:01Mr. Johnson.
40:03Mr. Johnson.
40:04Mr. Johnson.
40:04Mr. Johnson.
40:04Mr. Johnson.
40:06Mr. Johnson.
40:31Danny?
40:35Is that you?
40:37Oh, hi, Mom.
40:39What are you doing here?
40:41You tell me.
40:45I don't know.
40:47I'm gonna assume that I'm dreaming.
40:50You sure it's not a nightmare?
40:59Oh!
41:03Oh!
41:37Oh!
41:39Oh!
41:54Oh!
41:54Oh!
41:55Oh!
41:56Oh!
41:57Oh!
41:59Oh!
41:59Oh!
41:59Oh!
41:59Oh!
