Being Erica (2009–2011): Season 3, Episode 8 - Physician, Heal Thyself - full transcript

Erica:
Previously on "Being Erica":

Adam:
I had a really great time today.

Erica.

I just don't think of you
that way.

Sam:
Mom, you home?

Oh my God.

And this was the last time
that I saw my daughter.

Let go of me!

Sarah!

Forget it, dad!
I'm never coming home.

Dr. Tom:
I mean, I didn't know
if she was dead or alive...



And I still don't.

♪ Now you waited so long ♪
(So long)

♪ So long ♪
(So long)

♪ To be my number one ♪

In a few weeks,
I come back to 2010...

Okay.

And while I'm here
we sleep together.

We sleep together?

Yeah.

Dr. Tom:
That's the story, Darryl.

That's the story
that you keep telling yourself.

"You're awkward,
and you can't talk to women."

It's not a story,
it's the truth.

I know it's hard.



It was hard for me
to go back to school.

But this one over here,
she gave me a push

and look how it turned out.

Rebecca:
Adam's right.

You've gotta be willing
to take a chance and fail.

You know this, Darryl.

Okay. I'll try.

Right now,
before I lose my nerve.

(Group chuckles, pleased)

And that concludes our session
for today.

Thanks, everybody.

Adam:
Man, I love Darryl.

That guy is so much tougher
than he realizes.

It's good you pushed him.

Hey.
I learned from the best.

Well,
I'll see ya next time.

Yeah. See ya.

Erica:
Life, they say,
is a series of moments:

big and small;

joyous and tragic.

It is these moments
that give our lives shape

and meaning;

that call us to examine
the path we've taken

and what the future holds.

Dr. Arthur.

Six is too many, Tom,

even for you.

Erica was my last
one-on-one patient.

Now that she's in group,
I have space.

You have the heaviest caseload
of any doctor I work with

and now you wanna
take on more.

It's... it's not wise.

Why not?

There are more patients
than doctors available

to help them.

That's beautiful detail.

It's Balinese, right?

Dr. Tom:
(Annoyed breath)
Right.

Dr. Arthur,
if your concern

is that I won't be able
to provide

the same level of care
to all my patients...

That's not the issue.

You know, the Balinese
have a philosophy

called "tri hita karana."

It holds a life in balance
as the key to happiness.

I know about Balinese
philosophy;

I've read many books
on the subject.

Yes, books,

I see that you have
many books.

But, uh...

When's the last time
you took a holiday, hmm?

Had an adventure,
met a woman...?

What is this about?

It's about your life
outside of work.

I don't need a life
outside of work.

I don't want any life apart
from the one I'm living.

Isn't that the definition
of happiness?

Perhaps.

You know, Tom,
in my experience,

sooner or later,
life has a way of finding us,

whether we want it to
or not.

Nevertheless,

I won't stand in your way.

Arrangements will be
made for you

to take on
an additional patient.

Oh.
Well, thank you.

And I'll let you
answer that.

(Phone rings)

(Office door opens and closes)

Hello?

Woman:
Tom?

Marjorie?

Sarah's come home.

She's back, Tom.

Hey.

Where is she?

Hi, dad.

Sarah?

Yeah.

Oh my...
Oh my God.

Oh, Sarah.
Oh my God...

Why don't you just start
at the beginning.

Sarah, we are not going
to judge you

or anything
that you tell us.

Okay?

(Clears throat)

Um, you remember Martin?

Yeah.
Your boyfriend.

Last time that we saw you,

uh, you were going on a trip
out West with him. Right?

Uh, yeah.
So we got to Vancouver

and then, um,
we kept going.

We made it all the way
to Santa Fe

and wound up living
out of his van.

Our plan was to find
an artist colony.

But then one morning
I woke up

and Martin was gone.

He just left with everything.

Well, honey,
why didn't you call us?

Because I was...

Scared that you'd say
you told me so.

And not long
after Martin left,

uh...

I met these guys...

And I started using heroin.

And are you still?

Yeah.

But I wanna get clean;
That's why I'm here.

Right.
Well, that's good then.

That's really good.

How did you live?

You had no money,
no job.

You were addicted to drugs.

I...

(Hushed)
I figured it out.

What?

You figured it out?

I'm sorry,
what does that mean?

It means that I did
what I needed to do to get money

when I needed it.

(Phone rings,
message tone beeps)

Dave:
Hey, Kai,
it's me, Dave, calling...

Again.

I can hear you
on the radio,

but it'd be even better
to talk to you for real.

Bye.

I think he forgot,
cub-cake.

Ivan.
I've seen it
before.

Remember Grismer?

Yeah, of course
I remember Grismer.

He works out,
grows a really...

luscious pair of biceps,

and suddenly
he's all a-list

and I'm chopped off
his bear411 friend list.

That's what Kai's done
to you,

just with music
and not with biceps

and pecs,
and... oh, delts.

Okay, enough.
I get it.

And you're wrong.

Kai's just busy.

Kai's gonna be
snorting cocaine

off a lady
of the night tomorrow

instead of being here
performing.

Face the music,
sweets.

Judith:
God. A Saturday morning off
feels like such a luxury.

Erica:
Mmm! So where did Anthony
take Max?

Hey, Dave!

Where we go every weekend -
breakfast at Luna's,

and a walk through
Trinity Bellwoods.

That sounds fun.

- Brunch for two?
- You know it.

- Right over here.
- Thanks.

It is.

But sometimes
you just need a break.

Yeah. It's part of our therapy
to take time for ourselves.

Since when did they start
serving brunch here?

Oh, um,
Ivan loves french toast.

Dave:
Ivan loves french toast
a little too much.

(Chuckles)

Uh... well then,
I'll try that.

You know what?
Make that two.

Erica: Thanks, Dave.
Dave: Okay.

So?

How's it going anyway,
the... the therapy?

It's going.

Jude,
you look miserable.

Is there anything
that can I do?

This.

Just have brunch with me

and, uh, tell me about
all your single girl

juicy gossip.
(Chuckles)

You meet anyone lately?

No. No one.

I am taking
a self-imposed break

from anything man-related.

Like a man-cleanse.

Exactly.

I'm just...

I'm sick and tired
of second-guessing men

and trying to read
their mixed signals.

So I am not looking.

I'm not letting anyone
set me up.

I am being single
and happy with my life.

- Good for you.
- Yeah.

You know what, Erica,

you know, this might seem
weird saying it, but, uh...

I'm so proud of you.

Oh, Jude.

No, I mean it.
It's just...

You know,
things have changed so much

and...
Yeah.

You're in such a good place
and I'm uh...

Hey.

Look, don't worry.

It's gonna get better.

Hope so.

Hey, there.

Hey, Sam.

I've been looking for you.

I'm off tomorrow.

- Oh yeah?
- Mm-hm.

So am I.

I know. I checked.

I was wondering
if you're not busy,

maybe we could do
something.

Is it gonna involve seeing
your parents naked again?

God, no.
Lenin!

Sorry,
I couldn't resist.

Uh, yeah!

Yeah, I'd love
to do something.

How's dinner?

Dinner sounds good.

Okay, I'll call you.

We'll, uh...
We'll figure it out.

Great.

Male doctor:
Excuse me.

Someone spilled a juice
or something

in the resident's lounge,

you need to go
clean it.

Slipped
and almost broke my neck.

Okay, I'll get right to it,
doctor.

You should really go
do it now.

This can probably wait.

Samantha:
Hey.

He's working as fast as he can,
so tone it down.

Dr. Strange,
I was just asking.

No, you were shooting orders
and being rude.

It's fine, Sam.

Sam:
No, it's not fine.

You're a resident,
right?

Who's your attending?

Look, I'm sorry
if I was harsh.

I've been up for 30 hours-

Lenin:
It's okay.
You're right, this can wait.

I'll, uh...

I'll go clean up that mess
right now, doctor.

(Indignant)
Ugh!

I had this fantasy
that I would, um...

clean myself up,

go back to school,

come back this huge success.

It was really hard to face
the reality;

that that wasn't
gonna happen.

Things weren't gonna
work out that way.

But I just reached a point

where I realized things
weren't gonna get better

and I needed to do something
about it.

(Deep reflective sigh)

And coming home

felt like the scariest thing
I could do, so...

Well, you did the right thing,

and we are gonna help you.

Thank you.

Sarah, you are gonna
get through this

and you are gonna turn
your whole life around.

And it's gonna be hard,

but your mother and I are
gonna be supporting you

through that entire process.

Think of it
as a fresh start.

But, Sarah,
you have to make a commitment

to see this through to the end,
no matter what.

Can you do that?

(Sighs heavily)

Yes.

"Whatever your past has been,

you have a spotless future."

Melanie Gustafson.

Kai, it's me.

I've left five messages.

The show is tomorrow night.

If you don't call me back,

or show up here
in the next...

How long do I have?

Kai!

Hallelujah!

(Grunts)
Yeah!

What, you don't call,
you don't write...

I'm sorry, man,
I was slammed.

I've been doing
wall-to-wall gigs.

I did Montreal last night,
I did Ottawa the night before.

So what's this?
What happened here?

Oh, renovations.
Ivan.

Well hello, Mr. Booker.

Well hello, Ivan.

You're looking good,
man.

So what,
you got anymore tats?

Oh, wouldn't you like
to know...Where.

Hi. I'm Jody,
Kai's manager.

Uh, so how many people
are you expecting

at this, uh...

Open mic night?

So we're still on
for tomorrow night? For sure?

Yes.
Yes, of course we are.

Great! See?

Uh, so,
Kai's headlining

and that means we're gonna
have a packed house.

Okay,
I'm gonna be a dick

because that's my job.

Head has one of the hottest
singles right now

and Kai's doing you
a huge favour, so...

We're gonna need to go through
a few things, okay?

Erica:
But I do have to give
Julianne credit,

because she's...

Erica.

Kai.

Uh, Judith,
it's good to see you.

Long time no see.

Yeah.
I've been busy...

Jody:
Busy becoming a rock star.

Come on, bro,
we're talking business here.

Kai:
Yeah, okay,
well talk away;

I'm catching up
with my friend.

In the original timeline,
I just blew Dave off.

200 people showed up here
to see me play

and I never turned up.

Ouch.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, that guy used to
lend me money for groceries;

he used to let me
borrow his car

whenever I needed it.

That's how I repaid him.

So, I'm guessing you're gonna be
playing here tomorrow night.

Yeah.

Good.
Yeah. Whether Jody likes it or not.

(Deep breath)

Both:
(Laugh)

It's weird
to be back here.

Last time I saw you,
you were sitting out there,

I was playing
"Alien Like You"

and you were smiling.

Yeah.

I guess that was the last time
that you saw me.

- Crazy.
- Yeah.

So how's Ethan?

(Clears her throat)
He's fine.

So tell me what songs

you're gonna sing
tomorrow night.

Erica.

Ethan and I,
we broke up.

You did?

When was that?

It was four months ago.

The night that you left.

The night that you went back
to the future.

(Door opens)

Jody:
Kai. Come on, buddy.

If you're serious about doing
this thing tomorrow night,

there's a lot we gotta do,
okay?

Yeah. Um...

You should probably go.

We'll catch up later.

Go.

(Chatter over police radio)

What's wrong?

Sarah...

What is it?
Is she okay?

She's gone.

She said she was going upstairs
to take a nap,

and I went to get groceries.

And when I came back
she was gone.

She took everything:

Money, my jewelry...

Everything.

Kai.

What're you doing here?

Do you have any idea
how hard it was to shake Jody?

First thing I did
when I got back to 2019

was fire his ass.

Good.
I never liked that guy.

Come in.

(Clears throat)

So, I guess
if you're here,

that means that therapy
is going well?

Yeah, it is.
I'm...I'm learning a lot.

- Part of my....
- Do you wanna grab...

No, yeah...
Sorry.

Come in.

I was just...

Look, I was gonna say, um...

One of the things
I've learned

is that I need to take
chances.

Emotional chances.

Okay.

So, um...

So, I'm just gonna
say this:

I think you're gorgeous

and original and brave...

And I haven't stopped
thinking about you

since the day I left.

And I wanna be with you.

Say something.

I don't really know
what to say.

It's...

Just seeing you again
like this, it's...

It's really intense.

Yeah. For me too.

Look, Erica,

I'm not asking
for a relationship.

I know...

I know that's impossible.

I just want...

What?

I just want one night.

Oh.

Oh, Kai.
I just need to...

I just need
to think about it.

Okay.

(Door creaks open)

(Door closes)

Kai?

(Whoosh)

(Clears throat uncomfortably)

Where's Dr. Tom?

(Door slams)

Dr. Tom:
Sorry, I was delayed.

But we can go ahead.

Let's begin.

Erica:
The problem is,
is that, a few weeks ago,

Kai came back on a regret

and told me that
the next time he saw me,

we would...
We would sleep together.

Camilla:
Kai told you
about your future?

My future, his past.

So, it's already happened
for him.

Can he do that?

Tell you about your future?

Dr. Tom?

Oh, apparently, he can.

So please, continue.

Erica:
It's just now I'm, you know,
I'm really confused.

Can I even change this?

I mean, can I avoid
sleeping with him?

'Cause Kai said
it was going to happen,

which means it's already
happened for him,

which means...

Darryl:
You have to go through with it
to avoid creating a paradox.

Darryl,
this isn't star trek.

That's a "back to the future"
reference actually.

Rebecca:
You think it's like fate?

Like you can't stop it
from happening?

Of course
she can stop it.

The whole idea of fate
is bullshit.

Darryl:
He's right;

we prove that each
and every time we go back

and change our past.

Adam: Yeah.
Erica: True.

So the real question is,

do you wanna be with him,
Erica?

Um...

I don't know.

Dr. Tom:
I don't think that's true.

I don't think you're being
honest with what you feel.

Camilla:
If a rock star came to me

and said what he said,
the way he said it...

We wouldn't even be having
this conversation.

Erica, if you wanna do it,
do it.

What do you think,
Dr. Tom?

What?

To sleep with Kai
or not sleep with Kai?

(Mordant chuckle)
Really?

Is that why we all came
together here today?

To solve this important problem?
Seriously?

Adam:
Dr. Tom, I think Erica has
the right to ask the question.

Oh, we all have the right
to ask questions, Adam,

even if they are utterly banal.

I don't think that
that's exactly fair.

Erica,

there are people in this world
with real problems,

and this is not
a real problem.

Excuse me.

Erica...

What're you doing?

No, what are you doing?!

I want you to tell me
how is it possible, okay,

after two years,
two years,

that you cannot resolve
something like this on your own?

Please explain this to me.

Why are you yelling
at me?

Because I'm disappointed!

That's why.

Because I expected more
from you.

Look, I didn't call
the session.

Dr. Tom:
Erica, if you don't possess
the sufficient insight,

I mean, if you really need
this kind of hand-holding

at this stage,

then maybe I was wrong

and maybe you're not ready
to be in group.

Okay, I don't know
what's going on,

but this is not like you.

Are you not hearing me?!

You need to leave.

Go.

(Sniffles,
stifling tears)

Hey.

Hey.

(Change jingles)

You need a loonie?

(Loonie clatters
into machine)

(Keypad beeps,
snack clunks in machine)

How come you're allowed
to keep coming to my rescue,

and the minute I step in
to defend you,

you give me
the death stare?

Defend me from what?

It's 'cause you're a guy,
right?

I bruised your ego.

No. No, this is because
it wasn't called for.

That doctor didn't do
anything wrong.

He was ordering you
around.

He was being rude
and treating you like a-

like a what?

A janitor?

This job is a means
to an end for me.

Same way as being
an esl teacher in Japan was,

or, or the year I spent
bartending in Australia.

I work, I make money,
and I move on.

Being a janitor
doesn't define me.

I know.

You really need
to let this go, Sam,

and just enjoy
the adventure.

I like adventures.

You wanna have one
right now?

Like now?

Like...

Right now?

Yeah. Yeah, come on.

What're we doing?

Have you ever been kissed
in a supply closet?

No.

Would you like to be?

(Pool balls clack)

Bartender:
What can I get you?

Dr. Arthur:
Uh, whatever you've got on tap,
please.

Dr. Tom:
And another scotch. Neat.

Bartender:
Coming up.

Dr. Arthur:
(Exhales)

You wanted to talk
to me?

I can't save Sarah.

No.

She needs more help
than I can give her.

She needs to find
her own way.

(Derisive laugh)

Her own way.
Yeah.

(Chuckles)

Bartender:
Here you go.

(Slurps)

And what if she fails?

Then she fails.

Well,
I can't accept that.

(Huffs)
You don't have a choice.

No, you do though.

You have a choice:

You could make her
a patient,

give her a doctor.

Give her the chance
that I was given,

that we all were given.

No, Tom, I can't.

That's not how this works
and you know it.

Wow, you know...
What a goddamned life.

I failed at marriage,
I failed at fatherhood...

You're an excellent doctor.

(Yelling) I'm screaming
at my patients!

I'm drinking away my problems
in some dump here.

Is that what excellent
doctors do?

Bartender:
Hey, buddy. Keep it down.

(Whispering)
Don't tell me
to keep it down.

Just go and get me
another scotch. Thanks.

Tell you what.

Why don't you
get outta here?

Both of you.

Eh. Come on.

Dr. Tom:
(Sighs) What's happening to me?

What does it mean
when history repeats itself?

It means that we've failed
to learn from it.

(Whoosh)

(Startled gasp,
unsteady panting)

Hello, Tom.

Where... where am I?

You're in my office.

(Breathing shakily)
Something happened...

I'm in your office...

I just, um...

I jumped from a building.

Who are you?

I'm a doctor;

a therapist, actually.

Tom:
Dr. Naadiah.

What,
you're my ctor?

I could be,
if you'd like.

(Breathing shakily)

Nah, I jumped.

No, I remember.

I jumped and I remember
falling through the air

and then...

(Stammers, flabbergasted)

What, I survive?

No.

This is what happens
when you die?

This is what happened
to you.

I don't understand you.

Let's just say this is not
your standard destination.

Well, then why am I here?

Because you're being given
an unusual opportunity, Tom.

And now you have a choice
to make.

It's up to you to accept
or not accept my help.

Uh... uh...

And uh...

And what does "accepting"
involve exactly?

Commitment;

to see things through
to the end.

And if I, uh... say yes

and if I choose to commit,
then...

Well, what happens then?

Then we begin.

Dr. Arthur:
Look at that man in there.

Look at how far he's come;

how much you've changed.

So why are you falling apart
all over again?

Because my daughter's back

and she needs help
and I can't give that to her.

No.

That is an old story.

There's more to it
than that.

I don't know
what you're talking about.

Watch. Listen.

Dr. Naadiah:
So tell me, why did you decide
to end your life?

Because I don't have
a life.

Why?

Why do I have
to answer this?

This is what we do,
Tom.

Because...

Because I'm useless,

that's why.

Because I failed at,
uh...

Well, everything.
(Mordant chuckle)

I failed my wife,

I failed my little girl,

and I failed myself.

And that's why, okay?

I don't want
to watch this.

This is pointless,
Dr. Arthur.

I know all this;
I lived it.

Tell me why you jumped off
that building.

You just heard me
tell Dr. Naadiah.

I wanna hear it
from you.

I was a failure.

(Laughs)

It's deeper than that,
Tom.

How can it be deeper
than that?

I couldn't save
my daughter's life.

And so you deprived yourself
of your own life, then,

just as you are doing now.

No.

No, that's not the same.

No,

you couldn't save her,
Tom,

so you've devoted
every waking moment

to saving others.

You're diligent
and tireless

and compulsive
in your efforts;

you do nothing else.

You send me back
to 2010.

Don't you see, Tom?
It has no end.

Saving others will not erase
the guilt you feel.

At most,
it's been a distraction,

and since Sarah
has returned,

she's brought it all
roaring back,

hasn't she?

You have no life
of your own.

You hate yourself so much

you're right back
where you started again.

Look.

Tom:
That's all.

That's all we need.

So tell me about
regret number two.

"Killing myself."

Tell me why
you want to undo that.

Undo?

You mean I don't
have to die?

Yes, Tom.

You've been given
the chance to live.

You've been given
the chance to live,

so live.

(Knocking at the door)

Adam.

Hey.

Hi, come...
Uh, come in.

What are you
doing here?

I was worried about you.

I've never seen Dr. Tom
act like that.

He just...
He just lost it.

Yeah, well, you missed
the grand finale.

'Cause he followed me
in here right after

and said that he was having
second thoughts

and that maybe I'm not ready
for group after all.

He said that?

Mm-hm.

You know, apparently,
at this point in therapy,

I should have
sufficient insight

to be able to figure it out
on my own.

(Exhales)
That's insane.

So what're you gonna do?

I don't know,
but...

The next time I see Dr. Tom
it's gonna be awkward.

No, I meant with Kai.

Oh, um...

I don't know, I just...
I haven't decided yet.

Well...

Well, for what it's worth,

I don't think you should
go through with it.

- Why not?
- I dont know.

Kai sounds messed up.

I think you deserve someone
a lot better.

Don't look at me
like that.

- Like what?
- Like that.

Like how you're
looking at me.

I wasn't.

No, you were.
And you know what?

Don't show up
at my front doorstep

and tell me not to sleep
with Kai, all right?

It is none of your business.

Erica, I was just making sure
you were okay.

(Exhales)

You know what?
Kai, he may be screwed up,

but at least he's honest.

And isn't that
your big thing?

(Imitating Adam)
You know, "being honest

in front of a roomful
of strangers,

it's really hard, Erica."

Okay.
I don't need this.

At least Kai
is not a coward.

You are.

And you're really
full of yourself.

Go to hell.

Dave
superhero.

Super. Hero.

Fooooossh!

Why do I have to be in love
with a wannabe

Shakespeare comic book nerd?

Dave:
Human and yet more than human.

Hey. You haven't seen
Erica, have you?

No, no, no,
she, um...

She said this wasn't
her "scene."

I can't say I blame her.

In your glow,
I am redu-ced

to human

Ivan: Woo!
Dave: Thank you.

(Polite applause
throughout room)

Thanks.
Thank you.

Uh, everybody,
up next, Kai Booker,

lead singer of "Head."

(Applause, cheers
and whistling)

Hey. Um...

I'm wanna start off
with a song...

With a song I wrote
for a strange girl.

(Knock at the door,
buzzer buzzes loudly)

(Chatter over police radio)

(Door rumbles shut,
buzzer buzzes)

(Exhales heavily)
Hello, Sarah.

(Huffs)

Where's mom?

At home.

Why are you here?

Why am I here?
Because...

I'm here because
there are so many things

that I want to say to you.

But I don't know if now
is the right time.

Say whatever you want.
I deserve it all.

(Sighs)

I love you, sweetheart.

And I have never,
not for one day,

stopped thinking about you.

And seeing
what's happened to you,

that breaks my heart.

I mean, I...

I wanna help you,
but I'm afraid that I can't

and that even if I did,
that that wouldn't be enough.

(Exhales, stunned)

Why are you being so nice to me
after what I did?

Because I'm letting go
of the outcome.

Because I can't fix this
for you,

and I can't take
responsibility for it.

I never asked you to.

I know that.

I know.

I want more than anything

for you to put your life
back together, Sarah.

I don't know if I can.

Guard:
Time's up, sir.

I have to go.

Thank you.

I have to go.

(Buzzer buzzes)

Bye.

Bye.

(Ignition turns,
engine whirs)

(Cab roars off)

Dr. Tom:
Erica.

I came to apologize.

(Exhales shakily)

I should never have said
those things.

I know that doesn't
make it better.

It makes it
a little better.

You really hurt me.

I know.

I should have explained to you
what was happening.

Actually, what I should've done
is just cancelled the session.

Sarah came back yesterday.

Oh my God.

And it was a very difficult day.

But I shouldn't have
taken that out on you,

and again, I apologize.

And I hope that
you can forgive me.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

You know, if you need
to take time,

it's, it's fine.

I get it;
You have a life.

(Amused chuckle)

I have a life.
Indeed.

Thank you, Erica,
for understanding.

Dr. Tom, you have
been there for me,

and if you need anything,

I want to be there for you.

Okay, well,
I'll see you in group.

Okay.

(Exhales slowly)
