00:00Elio, oh my god!
00:03What happened?
00:05Will called me and said you collapsed at home.
00:08Yeah, I'm okay. I'm okay now.
00:12The preliminary test, Will said that they found something serious with your heart.
00:17The doctor said I might need a transplant.
00:20No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. This could not be happening.
00:25I should have noticed something. I should have seen a sign.
00:30Baby, how long have you been feeling symptoms?
00:32A few weeks. Maybe a month.
00:36I just don't want to worry you, babe.
00:38Don't worry about that. I am taking off work.
00:41I'll be here every day.
00:43Whatever you need, baby. We'll get through this together.
00:46You don't have to do that.
00:47Yes, I do. You're my husband and I am not leaving your side.
00:54Sorry to interrupt. I need to check vitals.
00:57Can you describe your symptoms for me? When they started?
01:02Chest pain.
01:03Sharp.
01:05Radiating down my left arm.
01:08And dizziness.
01:09It's been coming and going.
01:11How long have you had these episodes?
01:13A few weeks.
01:16I need to speak with you outside about your shift coverage.
01:19Just for a minute.
01:20Can it wait?
01:22It's important.
01:25I'll be right back. I promise.
01:43Have you noticed anything strange about Elio's behavior lately?
01:46I mean, what does this have to do with his heart?
01:49Just asking.
01:51He's been stressed. I mean, we've both been. Money has been tight since his business failed.
01:56Okay, because something doesn't add up in his chart.
02:00Okay, what do you mean?
02:01His symptoms seem inconsistent. The EMS report says...
02:05Are you suggesting he's faking?
02:07I'm saying I'm worried about you.
02:08I need to get back to him.
02:10Dr. Stevens, the one Elio mentioned, is on vacation this week. He's not handling any patients.
02:16Okay. What?
02:22Elio's EKG is normal. Cardiac enzymes, normal. Everything's normal.
02:26An EMS note says he was conscious and alert the entire ambulance ride.
02:29His table of vitals threw out.
02:32Mary, I could be wrong, but something's not right here.
02:35All right. I need to talk to him.
02:50Tell me exactly what happened from the beginning.
02:55I already told you. I had severe chest pains and I collapsed.
03:02The EMS report says you were alert the whole time.
03:06No, no. It's all kind of fuzzy. I don't remember much.
03:10Dr. Stevens is on vacation. He's not seeing patients this week.
03:14No, because I met Dr. Patel. I got comfortable.
03:16Stop. Just stop lying to me.
03:19I'm not lying to you.
03:21I'm a nurse, Elio. I can read charts.
03:23Your EKG is normal. Your cardiac enzymes are normal.
03:27Everything is normal.
03:30Are you even actually sick?
03:33Or is this just some kind of game?
03:38I wanted to see if you really loved me.
03:42If you'd be there when I needed you.
03:44What?
03:46I overheard your mom.
03:48She said you settled for me.
03:51I needed to know if it was true.
03:54I needed to know you'd stay.
03:59I've been working myself to exhaustion.
04:03Double shifts, extra hours to pay off your debts
04:07from your failed business.
04:11And you repay me by faking a terminal illness to test me.
04:15Well, I just needed to know that you-
04:17If you needed to test my love, then you don't trust me.
04:20And without trust, there's no relationship.
04:23Don't say that. Mary, please don't say that.
04:25For years, I have sacrificed everything to support you.
04:30My time, my energy, my career opportunities.
04:33I've even given you everything I have.
04:36And you play mind games with me?
04:38You fake a medical emergency to watch me fall apart?
04:42I'm sorry.
04:43I'm sorry.
04:44Mary.
04:44I'm done.
04:47Mary.
04:47Wait.
04:48Please.
04:48Look.
04:48We can fix this.
04:51Mary.
04:53Mary.
05:08Mary?
05:12He admitted it.
05:14He faked it all to test whether I love him.
05:17I'm sorry.
05:19I've given him everything.
05:21Everything.
05:22And it's not enough.
05:24It'll never be enough.
05:25This isn't the first test.
05:27There's been smaller ones.
05:29The times when he needed me to prove myself, cancel my plans to stay home with him because he felt
05:34insecure.
05:35He even skipped family events because of it.
05:38This was just the biggest.
05:40What are you gonna do?
05:42I can't be here when he's discharged.
05:45I need space.
05:47Time to think.
05:49That's completely understandable.
05:52Listen, you take care of yourself.
05:54Okay, you've been taking care of everyone else for too long.
06:16You see Mary?
06:17She left the hospital.
06:18Did she say when she's coming back?
06:20No.
06:22You don't understand our relationship.
06:24I understand enough.
06:27Have you been there for Mary?
06:29When she works 16 hour shifts and comes home exhausted?
06:32Are you supportive?
06:34Or do you make her feel guilty?
06:35That's not-
06:36Mary's told me about the financial stress.
06:39Your failed business.
06:41That she's been paying off.
06:43How you get upset when she picks up extra shifts even though you need the money.
06:47She's constantly proving her devotion while you just take and take and take.
06:54You have feelings for her.
06:58That's what this is about.
07:00You're trying to break us up.
07:01Okay.
07:03Now whether or not that's true, it's irrelevant.
07:06Okay, this is about your actions.
07:08Mary loves you.
07:10But love has limits.
07:12And you might have just found hers.
07:15Yeah, I need my phone, Changer.
07:16I left it at home in a rush.
07:17That's not my problem.
07:19You're free to go.
07:30Will.
07:31Will wait.
07:34You think she'll come back?
07:36I don't know.
07:37She has to.
07:38We're married.
07:40Maybe your mother-in-law was right.
07:42Maybe Mary did settle.
07:45That's what I was afraid of.
07:47Not because you're not good enough.
07:49But because Mary gives you so much, she settles for receiving scraps in return.
07:54Instead of rising to meet Mary's level of devotion, you tested it.
07:58Pushed it.
07:59Took it for granted.
07:59If you really loved her, or if you really love her, you'll respect whatever she decides.
08:06Even if that means letting her go.
08:08Yeah.
08:10Look.
08:12Can I borrow your phone?
08:13To call her?
08:14No.
08:16No, you can't.
08:17Mary asked for space.
08:19You need to give her that.
08:20You right.
08:22Can you at least give me a ride home?
08:23Look, I have no way to get home.
08:25Alright?
08:26Where was Mary when you needed to ride to your emergency doctor appointments over the past
08:31month?
08:32The ones where you set up this fake illness.
08:35Mary drove you every time, didn't she?
08:38Yeah.
08:39Then you'll figure it out.
08:56Mary, thank God I've been waiting for you because-
09:00I came back from my shift.
09:01Mary, I'm so sorry.
09:03I'll do anything to fix this.
09:05Anything.
09:06I've thought about it.
09:08I want a separation.
09:09What?
09:10No.
09:10I need time away from you to figure out what I am without constantly proving myself.
09:16Mary, please.
09:17I made one mistake.
09:18You made a calculated decision to manipulate my emotions.
09:22You faked a medical emergency.
09:25You wasted hospital resources.
09:27And you traumatized me into proving my love.
09:31That's not a mistake.
09:32That's who you are.
09:33I was just scared of losing you.
09:35The ironic thing is, you weren't losing me.
09:38I chose you every single day.
09:42But now after this, you are actually losing me.
09:46You created the exact thing you feared.
09:51Okay.
09:53Will you at least give me a ride home?
09:56No.
09:57Eh.
09:58Mary.
09:59I'm done taking care of you.
10:00You are a grown man.
10:02You can figure it out.
10:03I have no way home.
10:05No phone.
10:05My phone dead.
10:06I have no money.
10:07You wanted to test if I'll be there for you in an emergency?
10:10Well, now you know.
10:13When the emergency is real, and it's your own making, I won't be.
10:19Come here.
10:21Ma'a…
