Code Black (2015–2018): Season 2, Episode 8 - 1.0 Bodies - full transcript

[Indistinct conversations]

So I spoke to Dr. Rogers this morning.

He was very happy with your progress.

I-I passed all the neuro
exams. I feel good physically.

And I've run out of
shows to binge watch.

Mm.

Mike, I think you need more time.

- You're still recovering...
- You're wrong.

No, I'm not.

But it's not up to me. The board...

your father, in particular,



has decided you're ready.

- So here are the ground rules.
- Ground rules?

Take it slow.

No Center Stage, no major traumas.

You'll act in a supervisory role only.

And we'll re-evaluate in a few weeks.

[Sighs]

Okay. I can handle that.

- Welcome back, Dr. Leighton.
- [Laughs]

That's what he said? You're back?

Well, I'm not gonna be
running the residency program,

but I'm back at work.

[Pills rattle]

What?



Neurontin, amitryptyline.

Still having those
headaches and nerve pain?

I was in a coma for three
months. I take Topamax, too.

Relax, I got this.

All right.

Okay, come on. Let's do this!

Woman over radio: Angels
Base, 12 ambulances en route.

14 patients, all unconscious.

5 D.O.A., cause unknown.

[Sirens wailing]

[Indistinct conversations,
radio chatter]

We found him like this in a house.

Five D.O.A., two of ours
passed out on the scene.

- Maybe carbon monoxide?
- Maybe.

Center Stage for him,
please, and this one, too.

And any other criticals,
the rest I want...

- Was there any drug paraphernalia?
- None.

Leanne: I wanna know
what we've got here.

Bring it in here,
guys. Bring it in here.

[Monitor beeping erratically]

Man: Arterial pumper from a scalp lac.

Looked like this when he
tumbled down some stairs

when he lost consciousness.

Uh, what are those?

No clue. They're all wearing them.

Rest of their personal
effects are in here.

I got those.

What do we got?!

I don't know. That's what
we're trying to figure out.

All right, let's get
ready for a transfer.

- On my count. One, two, three.
- [Man grunting]

[Monitor beeping rapidly]

This patient's in respiratory distress.

Okay, you need to intubate, Dr. Dixon.

- Dr. Rorish.
- Yes?

You've got Paul Wentworth,

- 42 years old from Ohio.
- Got it.

I can't intubate. His
airway's swelling up.

You'll need to use a small E.T. tube.

- Risa, get him a 6-0.
- Yes, Doctor.

Dr. Willis, you've got Charlie Loffredo,

21, from Missouri.

Ready with the 4-0 Prolene.

Gonna need a C.T. scan when I'm done.

We need pacer pads over here.

Girl is Dana Albright,
19, from Colorado.

You sure you didn't find
these guys on a tour bus?

B.P. and heart rate are crashing.

I'll start a dopamine drip.

One, two, three.

- [Gagging]
- He's vomiting.

I need suction and Zofran, mama.

- Let's turn him.
- Jesse: Here you go.

Dr. Rorish, this one's in
respiratory distress, too.

Okay, put her over there by the counter.

- Dr. Leighton, can you get on that?
- Yeah.

[Indistinct conversations]

[Man continues grunting]

Why is he still seizing?

Those meds should be kicking in by now.

Yeah, they should.

Willis? Got any ideas?

Could be sarin gas.
It's the same symptoms.

Elliot: I still can't get the tube in.

Mike: Hey, his throat's
too swollen to intubate.

He needs to be criked.

Okay.

- [Emergency radio chatter]
- Watch it.

This patient's gonna code.

[Monitor beeping erratically]

- [Groans]
- Risa: Oh! Oh!

- Got a man down over here.
- Will: Somebody help him.

- Oh, God!
- Leanne: Elliot is down, too.

[Indistinct conversations]

[Monitor beeping rapidly]

Jesse: Gurney!

[Voice echoing] What
the hell's going on?

It's not a gas.

It's on them.

- It's in their clothing.
- It's a cholinergic toxidrome.

Okay, everybody, listen up!

We need to get all these
patients outside right now.

Quickly, but carefully.

And nobody touch them until decon.

Go, go, go, go!

When we get 'em out, cut
the clothes off all of them.

Bring as much atropine as you can get.

Can we clear a room in the hallway?!

Go, go, go! Go!

Clear it out, clear it out, clear
it out. Right here, right here.

Bring 'em in, bring 'em
down! Let's go! [Clank]

Will: Cut all their clothing off.

[Man continues grunting]

Still seizing!

Leanne: Okay, atropine should
start working any minute now.

Noa: What the hell?

Are you kidding me?

Guys, the bracelets
are connected to them.

What do you mean "connected"?

Do not remove the bracelets!

We need an X-ray of that.

What's going on? Where am I?

Where's Dana?

Dana! Dana!

Charlie! I'm here!

- I'm over here!
- Stay calm.

Dana, don't let them do anything!

Don't let them treat you!

[Grunting]

He knocked off his I.V. while seizing.

I can't get access for the atropine.

You want a new line?

No time. Just hold him down.

Come on, buddy, stay down!

- Easy!
- Push it!

[Yells]

Has anyone seen my wife?

Susan!

Susan? Susan!

I'm sorry. She died on the scene.

She made it.

She... she made it!

[Laughing]

She's made it!

Seems like they're wired to
median nerve fibers of the wrist.

What are they for?

Did anyone succeed besides my wife?

Five other people have died,

if that's what you mean by success.

What are those bracelets for?

Paul, listen to me,

the atropine has stabilized
you, but it is going to wear off.

We don't know what we're treating,

and... and it could
get much, much worse.

At least tell us what toxin you used.

[Man speaking indistinctly over P.A.]

[Loudly] I am exercising my
right to refuse treatment.

All: I am exercising my
right to refuse treatment.

Nothing creepy about that.

You are not to remove
the bracelet from my wrist

or provide me with any medical care.

All: You are not to remove
the bracelet from my wrist,

or provide me with any medical care.

I see you've succeeded in
poisoning their minds as well.

Poisoning?

No. We're transcending.

Transcending? Transcending what?

Our 1.0 bodies.

We're going to live forever.

- Sounds exhausting.
- [Laughs]

We should separate him from his flock.

- Agreed.
- I don't have a flock.

It's not a religion. It's science.

Science. Right.

Okay, let's wheel him
into a private room.

You're not part of all this?

Can I see Dana?

A couple questions
first. What did he use?

Was it a liquid? Was
it a gas? Did it smell?

Um, I think he said he was gonna
use some kind of fertilizer.

I don't know what.
And, um, horse shampoo?

Those are both organophosphates.
He made a homemade pesticide.

- We're gonna need 2-P.A.M.
- Yeah. A lot of it.

Got it.

[Telephone ringing in distance]

What about the bracelet?

Paul is a futurist.

A futurist.

And a neurosurgeon and
a biomedical engineer.

He's a genius, and he's also insane.

And the bracelet?

He thinks he found a way to upload
our consciousness to a super computer.

The bracelet's wired into
our central nervous system.

And at the moment of death,

it's supposed to transfer our
spirit into a virtual world...

where we await our next bodies.

And you believe that.

It was all theoretical in the beginning.

I didn't think we'd
really go through with it.

- But you did go through with it.
- No. Um...

Yeah. I, uh...

I-I mean, I stopped. I called 9-1-1.

And I saw Dana fall to the floor.

And he said we wouldn't be scared,
but I was. I was scared.

I dragged her outside.

I-I don't remember anything after that.

Is Dana your girlfriend?

[Whispers] Oh, my God. What did we do?

You're a shrink.

Is it that obvious?

Dana, can you tell me what led
you to the Children of Elysian?

Don't talk to her, Dana.

It's not a secret for me.

[Wheezing inhale] There's
nothing she can say.

If it's not a secret, then how
did a girl like you end up here?

I needed an answer.... [Wheezing inhale]

- and nobody else had one.
- And Paul had the answer.

He'd been asking the same question.

[Wheezing inhale]

If we can use technology to
advance ourselves in life...

[Wheezing inhale]

why can't we use it to
advance ourselves in death?

[Wheezing inhale]

- [Monitor beeping erratically]
- Dana?

I need help over here!

Jesse: Pulse ox is down to 72.

Pressure's 50 over 35.

Dana? Can you hear me?

You can't touch her.

Her atropine dose is wearing
off. She needs 2-P.A.M.

She said she doesn't want treatment.

- Nurse, shut the curtain.
- I'm witnessing you, Dana.

I'm here. Be brave.

- Did she refuse treatment?
- Yes. They all did.

- So what are you doing?
- She seem of sound mind to you?

Yes, she was very clear
and deliberate to me.

So joining a cult, soldering
wires to your nervous system,

drowning in poison is
evidence of clear thinking?

Jesse: I have got an ampule
of 2-P.A.M. right here.

No... treatment.

Okay, we need to discuss this.

We discuss this any
more, she's gonna be dead.

You're violating her rights!

Dr. Willis, she refused treatment.

She's hypoxic. She's getting
no oxygen to her brain.

- She can't make a decision.
- Guys, she's crashing.

[Monitor beeping rapidly]

[Monitor beeping steadily]

Beyond the moral implications,
there are also legal ones.

These people joined a cult

to e-mail themselves into the future.

Is that not the definition of insanity?

- No, actually. It is not.
- I agree with Ethan.

I don't think they're capable of
making the choice to refuse care.

Atropine is temporary. We don't
have a lot of time to weigh it.

Eventually, the damage
is gonna be irreversible

and the 2-P.A.M. isn't gonna work.

Some of these people may be there now.

Paul Wentworth is a doctor.
He calls them all his patients.

And we might not like
him or his theories but...

I've heard enough.

We're treating them.

Everyone gets 2-P.A.M. immediately.

[Sighs]
- [Door opens]

[Indistinct conversations]

Pretty good.

[Monitor beeping steadily]

Yes! They had them!

Yes! Thank you.

You know, for a guy who
dropped like a hot brick,

it's a interesting choice.

You know, everyone has their vices
when they get nervous or freaked out.

For some, it's a treadmill.
You know, some, it's meditation.

Others, it's Kanye.

- It's never Kanye.
- Mnh-mnh.

No, for you it's just Cheese Puffs.

Hey, is Eloise all right?

I heard that she, uh, hit her head.

Yeah, she's okay.

Right there.

You crushing on my nurse, sugar bear?

I'm just concerned, okay? Medically.

- Mm-hmm.
- Medically.

Guys.

Got a lot of patients who need doctors.

Grab a chart and save some lives.

You back running the program now?

- No, just back to kicking your ass.
- Oof.

[Indistinct conversations]

[Telephone rings]

Thought I'd take you to dinner...

Linda, what are you doing?

Shouldn't you be back east by now?

I thought we could get
to know each other better.

Better? [Scoffs] Linda,
I don't know you at all.

Let's fix that.

Okay, look, um... you seem nice enough.

It's just, I really don't
have time in my life for...

Family?

You're not my family. Okay?

You're my dad's girlfriend,
and now he's dead.

Look, I'm sorry.

I've got patients. I gotta go.

Mario, I'll be in town for a while.

Call me?

♪ ♪

[Woman voice echoes indistinctly]

[Monitor beeping steadily]

[Groaning]

[French accent] He shouldn't
have been climbing a tree.

I turned my back for one second.

- It's broken, isn't it?
- Yep.

- Boy: [Strained voice] It doesn't hurt.
- [Chuckles]

That's the adrenaline talking, bud.

I'll call your mom again, Keigan.

His mother is out of town.
She's going to kill me.

Hey, kids fall. Don't
be so hard on yourself.

He's tachypneic.

[Scoffs] Straight to voicemail.

Angus: Deep breath for me, Keigan.

That's it, and then another.

Jesse, that's a possible rib fracture.

Let's get him a chest
X-ray. I wanna see his lungs.

You got it.

Yeah, and pull up 10 of lido.

Keigan, I'm gonna numb your wrist

so we can fix it, okay, bud?

You're not gonna feel
a thing, I promise.

[Monitor beeping erratically]

Hey, hey, hey. We don't
need to do a hematoma block.

- Let's just sedate him.
- No, it's fine.

He's got a distal radius fracture.

Should reduce easily. Let me, um...

[Grunts] Damn it.

Uh...

Jesse, how you feel about sedating him?

2 milligrams per kilogram of ketamine.

Deep breath.

That's it.

[Monitor beeping steadily]

You can't stop me, you know.

Why do you wanna kill yourself so badly?

I'm not killing myself.

Then explain it to me.

You wouldn't understand.

Friend of yours wanted to say hi.

Dana.

How... how could you?

- I couldn't watch you die.
- I wasn't dying!

Sam is waiting for me,
and you took that away!

Sam?

Curiouser and curiouser.

Come on, Dana. He's not waiting for you.

There's nothing there but death.

And you know this how?

They teach you about quantum physics

at vocational school?

[Telephone ringing in distance]

- This isn't you, Dana.
- How would you know?!

You don't know anything about me!

This wasn't one of our best plans.

I know I love you, and
I know you love me, too.

- I know you do.
- [Laughs] Love you?

You're insane.

How many times do I have
to tell you this, Charlie?

- [Coughing]
- I'm married!

That's what this whole thing is about,

and you know it.

[Gags]

Oh, my God.

- Someone help him!
- [Coughing]

All right, let's get
him back to his bed.

- Need a wheelchair.
- [Coughing]

If you want me to go, I will,

but only 'cause I can't watch
you hurt yourself anymore.

Dana, what did you mean,

that that's what this is all about?

My husband is waiting for me...

in Elysian.

And where is this Elysian?

It's a virtual world that Paul created.

A place where...

where we can be together.

Aha.

Thank you.

[Siren wails]

[Indistinct conversations]

What are you looking
for, sweetheart? A vein?

Well, they're all sclerosed.

If you mean I've been poked
within an inch of my life

by my rad oncologist? Then, yes.

Ashley, it's Barbara.

Obviously, I'm not making the
meeting. Something came up.

- I'm sorry.
- There. Got it in.

I'm at the hospital.

I... uh, broke my ankle.

Anyway, we'll have
to reschedule. Uh-huh.

[Cellphone beeps]

Stepdaughter.

I'm trying to avoid her sympathy.

Well, the C.T. should tell us for sure

if it's a bowel obstruction.

They're pretty typical
in colon cancer patients.

Yes, if you could read,
you would see on my chart,

- I've had three.
- Hmm.

Okay, so, um, we'll be back
when Radiology's ready for you.

- Can't wait for that.
- How long you think?

Noa: Could be a couple hours.

[Sighs heavily]

Is there anyone else you
want us to call for you?

No. Nobody wants to
deal with this. Trust me.

[Telephone rings in distance]

[Monitor beeping steadily]

You think I'm crazy, don't you?

I think you did a terrible thing.

You and I are exactly the same.

We're both doctors.

When you learned about heaven,
did you think it was insane? I did.

But how do you know that
this isn't what God meant?

Just like he guided Moses to
Mount Sinai or Noah to the Ark,

how do you know he
didn't guide me to Elysian?

So you're a prophet?

Those are your words, not mine.

Your heaven...

what is it like?

There's no more guilt.

There's no more grief.

There's no more regret.

There's no more pain.

It's simply not in the program.

People like you have been promising
to magically alleviate pain

since the beginning of time.

- Let's talk about your pain.
- Let's not.

It's obvious. It's your albatross.

You don't have to bring
it with you to Elysian.

Your blood pressure is climbing.

- Do you have hypertension?
- I see you.

What do you see, Paul?

[Beeping quickens]

His blood pressure's skyrocketing.

- His heart rate, too.
- Paul.

- Oh! Get more Ativan.
- He's seizing.

I got it. Oh!

[Monitor beeping rapidly]

Okay, here we go.

[Monitor beeping steadily ]

Jesse: Okay. All right.

The seizure dislocated his shoulder.

Okay, let me give you a hand with that.

[Bones snap]

That was way too easy.

Your arm doesn't get loose like
that after just one seizure.

Maybe his problems are
bigger than the poison.

[Indistinct radio chatter]

[Vomits]

[Chuckles, sniffs]

[Door opens, closes]

So Dana's alive?

- Is she okay?
- She's stable.

When was the last time you
heard from your daughter?

About six months ago.

She sent us a note to tell us Sam died.

His poor mother.

When we tried to come to the
compound, we were turned away.

She wouldn't even talk to us.

Can you back up just a little bit?

Sam grew up down the street from us.

They were inseparable.

From the time they were 16,

they knew they were gonna get
married as soon as they were legal.

And then he was diagnosed.

Leukemia.

He was given a year to live.

They started looking into
alternative therapies.

Traveling from one quack to another.

- Of course, none of it worked.
- And then she heard about Paul

and the Children of Elysian.

He told them he couldn't cure Sam's
body, but he could free him of it.

And better yet, Dana could join him.

So she thinks she's gonna
see Sam in this Elysian.

We didn't raise her this way.

I don't know how my baby let
that monster hypnotize her.

Maybe you could file for guardianship.

But you may not get it.

Why not? She's clearly sick.

Because the court may
not deem her incompetent.

But they would if you recommended it.

Can we see her?

I'm sorry. She's refused.

[Crying]

[Indistinct conversations]

- [Door closes]
- I am a little curious

as to why you seem to be
on the wrong side of this.

I'm not trying to be.

But I also know that
when it comes to the mind,

people can't be forced to heal.

They have to choose it for themselves.

[Door opens]

[Door closes]

♪ ♪

Look at it.

You know how to read a C.T.?

- So everything I've seen...
- You haven't seen anything.

The seizures will stop
once we remove the tumor,

as will the visions.

[Scoffs]

That's funny.

I'm a neurosurgeon and
it never occurred to me.

Although, it makes perfect sense.

I need to tell them the truth.

They deserve to know.

[Click]

Oh.

I thought the pain meds
were supposed to help.

Still having abdominal pain?

Oh, like a scene from "Alien."

No rigidity, but your
white count's very high

- and your temperature...
- [Curtain rings swoosh]

Where's the cast?

So your broken ankle's actually what?

That brow lift you always wanted?

This is a county hospital, Ashley.

That Brown education
really was a waste...

- ... wasn't it?
- Don't. Not today.

Dad's estate has taken
over a year to settle.

- Oh, God forbid, you're gonna have
- We're finally gonna be done,

- no money for the weekend.
- and you blow off the meeting.

This isn't about the money,
Barbara, and you know it!

I want my parents' house.

- It's all that I have left of them.
- Yes, well, all of my stuff

is in it right now, because
your father left it to me.

You were a guest in that house.

- For 20 years?
- Yes.

Actually, your stepmother's
pretty sick, so...

Mario: So... [clears throat]

why don't you step outside
while we finish up our work, huh?

Just please get her out.

[Indistinct conversations]

Everyone...

listen.

The doctors have told me the truth.

I have a tumor.

It's been giving me seizures

and it explains my visions of Elysian.

My tumor... it was
another gift from God.

All right, that's enough.

- He gave me what I needed
- [Chuckles]

- to find the path to the future.
- Woman: Preach on!

- Unbelievable.
- [speaks indistinctly]

... to fulfill his highest aspirations.

- Get him out of here...
- That there is no more grief,

- no more guilt.
- Let's go, let's go.

- No more regret, no more pain.
- We won't give up.

- I love you all.
- We love you, Paul!

See you in Elysian!

Paul: I will see you in Elysian.

[Applause]

- [Monitor beeping rapidly]
- [Grunting]

His pulse ox is at 75.

What's wrong with him? Help him!

He's retracting.

Could be a complication
of a rib fracture.

- Put him on a non-rebreather.
- No, his chest X-ray was normal.

- Uh...
- Woman: It's going to be fine, yes.

No, it's not. He's got a
pneumo on the left side.

- Let me see that.
- I got it.

How could I miss that?

Woman: Is he going to be okay?

Yeah, we just need to put a tube
in his chest so he can breathe.

Prep a chest tube.

Dr. Leighton, get that chest tube.

Yeah.

[Monitor beeping steadily]

[Monitor beeping erratically]

[Switch clicks, defibrillator whining]

[Beep]

I am ready.

[Machine whirs]

I am brave.

- [Pads thunk]
- [Gasps]

[Staggered breathing]

Okay, here we go.

Do you hear that stridor?

That's weird, even for a pneumo.

Step back, Dr. Leighton.

- Is he going to be okay?
- Yeah, he's gonna be fine.

Then one more...

Scalpel, please. Thank you.

- Mike, just listen.
- Angus. Step back.

Okay, Keigan, you're gonna
feel a little pressure.

[Exhales]

Okay. [Exhales sharply]

- Okay.
- Wait, Mike. Stop!

What?

This isn't his X-ray.

That's not Keigan's X-ray.
You grabbed the wrong one.

[Distorted voice] His airway's closing.

I need 1 of epi and
125 of Solumedrol now.

He's got a rash.

His pharynx is swollen.
This is anaphylaxis.

What's happening?

Hang in there, pal. Hang in there.

- Push it.
- Okay.

Okay, his stridor's subsiding.

His pulse ox is coming up.

That's it. That's it.

- There you go, pal.
- I...

[Exhales]

Keigan's gonna be fine.

We're going to need to, uh,

- keep him for a few more hours, though.
- Okay.

[Telephone ringing in distance]

Yeah. Wait, hang on a second. Excuse me.

Hey. Where you going?

- I need to see him.
- No.

Okay, please? He took away my daughter.

- I understand.
- I need him to explain it to me.

I need to understand how this happened.

Listen to me. He can't
do anything for you.

You gotta focus on your daughter.

No!

Jesse!

[Curtain rings swoosh]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

- Here! Here!
- We gotta cut him down!

Gary: No, you are not dying.

Not now.

Jesse: Okay. Okay, let him down.

You are not dying, not now!

No Elysian valley for
you, you sick bastard!

Noa: How are you doing now, Barbara?

Barbara: The pain is getting... [groans]

- [Click]
- Oh, God.

[Sighs]

Are you still here?

You're in pain?

Tell me what's wrong with you.

My therapist has built
four houses thanks to me,

- trying to answer that question.
- Barbara.

Colon cancer.

How long have you known?

- About a year.
- And you never called.

It's not like you called either.

- I don't have cancer.
- [Sighs]

- How long did dad have Alzheimer's?
- Oh, God.

- Two years before you told me?
- I didn't know it was Alzheimer's.

Of course you did.

You shut down when things go bad.

You just pretend they're not there.

That's what I was to you...
just something else to avoid.

I'm the avoider?

I was the one there
with him day after day

as he kept slipping
further and further away.

I fed him, I bathed him,

and I never got so much as a thank you.

That's not fair.

I wanted to be there, but
you were always so hostile.

You hated me...

before I even stepped through
the front door of that house.

Why would I hate you?

Because I wasn't your mother.

[Monitor beeping steadily]

Barbara?

[Monitor beeping rapidly]

Barbara!

- She's going into shock.
- Barbara!

Rigid abdomen. She must
have a perforated colon.

Okay, let's start a high line now.

Call the O.R. and
clear the C.T. scanner.

Is she gonna be okay?

[Monitor beeping steadily]

Find a needle.

I'm sorry, Barbara.

[Groans]

She's hot. It's not
perforation, it's typhlitis.

Start her on pressors.

Can I ask you a question?

Did you ever grieve
for your husband Sam?

Why would I grieve?

He's not dead.

Right.

I wanna show you something.

Oh.

I see. You think I'm afraid to see her.

Sophia is home now.

She made it.

I'll be seeing her soon.

This isn't Sophia.

[Voice breaks] Charlie?

Dana...

do you know...

what death by organophosphate
poisoning looks like?

First, his airway closed,

like a hand over the throat.

Then he began to vomit uncontrollably,

drowning in it.

We shocked him with 360 Joules,

which is a horse kick to the chest.

His brain was still awake,

the smell of his own burnt
flesh in his nostrils.

His ribs cracked from the C.P.R.,

snapping free from the sternum

like ice breaking deep
beneath the surface.

There was no Elysian for Charlie.

There wasn't even dignity.

Now he's here in this ice cold room.

And if he isn't claimed,

he'll be buried in an unmarked
grave in Potters field,

and no one will ever remember him.

I'll remember him.

Are you sure?

Do you remember things in Elysian?

I know grief better than almost anyone,

and I can tell you one thing.

You can't go around it.

You can only go through it.

[Woman speaking indistinctly over P.A.]

Hi, Dana.

Dr. Rorish thought you might wanna talk.

I can't cry.

What do you mean?

I know I'm supposed
to, but I... I can't.

Am I even human anymore?

Of course you are.

How is she?

The surgeon successfully
removed her colon,

but, um, during the surgery,

they found several other
tumors on her spine.

We can make her as
comfortable as we can, but...

she doesn't have much time left.

You, um...

you can see her now.

I don't know what to say to her.

She's just the woman
that married my dad.

Seems she really loved him.

You have that in common, right?

She's not my family.

She's your father's family.

And maybe your family's
family is your family,

if that makes any sense.

- Hi.

[Whispers] I'm so sorry.

Did I die?

Does this look like heaven to you?

[Laughs] You're f... funny.

You were always so funny.

You were right before.

I never thanked you for taking
care of him when he got sick.

Thank you, Barbara.

It was a lot to take on,

and you did it without complaint.

Are you kidding? I bitched
about it constantly.

But I was glad it never
had to be strangers.

Truth is, I would've done
anything for that man.

I loved him like crazy.

[Crying] I know you did.

Oh, stop.

I'm not saying that you're not
an impossible person sometimes...

[Chuckles]

'cause you really are.

- What I'm saying...
- Hey.

I love you, too, kid.

[Sobbing continues]

I'm so sorry.

[Coughs]

[Wheezing]

Lot of people worked very
hard to keep you alive.

I'm sorry it's not going
to turn out as you'd hoped.

Just 60 years ago,

a doctor in this hospital
would've called me crazy

if I told him that he
could see a developing fetus

through the wall of the abdomen.

But in 1956, an obstetrician
did it using sound waves.

And now you use his
ultrasound every day.

You're right. Technology is amazing.

In fact, it saved you today.

But it wouldn't have
worked without human beings.

We're not saying that the
future is without humanity.

We're saying that it
will augment humanity.

There will be no more disease,

no more loss,

no more pain.

I want my pain.

Why would you wanna feel pain?

Because I wanna feel love.

I feel pain for the people I miss.

I feel it because I loved them.

I wouldn't trade that love for anything,

not even the pain.

I was surprised you called.

Yeah, well, I figured I drink coffee,

you drink coffee, so why not?

Great.

Don't get too excited.

Too late.

[Horns honking in distance]

Hey.

Hey.

[Siren wailing in distance]

Keigan had a bee sting.

[Chuckles]

That's what caused the anaphylaxis.

This is my favorite place right here,

thinking how many doctors
have climbed these stairs.

You know, I can feel the history.

Felt it when I climbed it
myself for the first time.

And I am.

I knew I was part of a legacy.

Mike, just give it a little more time.

You can do this, Mike.

Here.

Wait, wait, wait.

I tried to come back too soon, Angus.

And I've been trying
to get back to normal.

But the truth is, that
doesn't exist for me right now.

I'm not the same,

and I don't know when I wanna be.

[Crying]

That's yours now.
