Hawthorne (2009–2011): Season 2, Episode 4 - Afterglow - full transcript

I just don't feel right
leaving.

You know what?

You've done everything
that you can do.

You should go home
and get some rest.

That's the best thing for you.

I'm looking at
the best thing for me.

What is this?

Step back, please.
Ohh.

You okay?

Dr. Shaw, he's in for surgery.
He's seizing.

Uh, excuse us.
I've got Dr. Tom Wakefield.



Thank you.
Okay.

Okay, one gram of dilantin
over an hour.

Let's hang another liter
of normal saline.

CBC, metabolic panel, ua,
tox screen, head ct scan.

I need
these handcuffs off.
Not gonna happen.

Can you at least
take one off

So we can turn him
if he seizes again?

Can't do it.
We were waiting
at the loading dock.

Who changed plans?

Well, he had a seizure
on the way over and
another when we got here,

So the emts thought
we should bring him to the E.R.

Why were you bringing a patient
through the loading dock?

Well, he was a direct admit
to ICU.

Dr. Clegg is operating
in two hours.



I was trying to avoid mayhem.

Nice try.

Let that bastard die!
Excuse me.

That son of a bitch
deserves to die!

You need
to calm down right now!

You want to get arrested?
Is that what you want?

I want to see him!
Hey, settle down!

I want to see him!
That's enough!

I want to see him!

Marcus, call a code green.

I want to see him!
Come on!

Enough. Let's get
this patient up to ICU.

Please.

Code green, E.R.
Code green, E.R.

What the hell was that?

His name is Calvin Jenkins.

He's an inmate at Sussex state.

He's also
a well-known humanitarian.

Isn't he on death row?

We got people
in the waiting room

Who can't afford band-aids

And the state is gonna
foot the bill to save this guy

Just to kill him?

Yes.

Mr. Jenkins
started having seizures

About a week ago.

The doctors at the prison
gave him an MRI

And diagnosed
chiari malformation.

The surgery required to treat it
was beyond their capacity.

Mr. Jenkins?

You think a murderer
deserves that kind of respect?

All patients do.

Respect is earned.

Money is earned.

If we successfully manage
this case,

We stand to gain
a substantial contract

With the bureau of prisons.

So you mean to tell me

There are gonna be convicts
and drug dealers

Parading through this hospital
every week?

If it helps pay the bills, yes.

This is good for James River.

Calvin Jenkins
has a lot of supporters.

Npr did a piece on him.

He did turn his life around.

We're trying to turn
this hospital around.

He's been here for 10 minutes
and the place is a mess.

I need you
to Shepherd him through.

Oh, no. You gave the ICU
to Gail, so it's her handle.

She's out sick,
so Calvin Jenkins falls to you.

Thank you.

You look like hell.

How do you feel?

I've been better.

I didn't know Paul well,
but I know you were close.

He was well-respected.

He'll be missed.

Thank you.

Go home, get some rest.

You know, he's right.

You need to get some rest.

So take me home.

I would love to, but I can't.

I was serious, Christina.

This...
this life is just...

I mean, look at Paul.

Let's stop screwing around.

Marry me.

I like screwing around.

I wish I could show you
how much, but I have to work.

Do me a favor.
Go home.

Okay?

Get some rest.

I'll check on you every hour.

You'll do that?

Mm-hmm.

Okay.

Okay.

You don't call.
You don't text.

Sorry.
It's okay.

Marcus told me what happened.

Kind of weird
not having you home.

Yeah, it was a late night.
I was here with Tom.

Are you okay?

Yeah, fine.

How's Tom?

He's good.

Tell him,
you know...I'm sorry.

Did Dr. Hyun have kids?

Yeah, he did.

Um, yeah.

So, clothes, toothbrush.

Figured you'd be pretty ripe.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

But looks like
you already changed.

Yeah.

I had some sweats
here in the office.

You sure you're okay?

Yeah, I'm just tired.

'cause, you know,
when you're lying,

Your left eyebrow
twitches a little bit.

Camille, give me a break.
I'm exhausted, okay?

Mm-hmm.

Totally twitching.

Can I have 20 bucks
to grab a bite?

Uh [sighs] yeah.

Here, take $40.

Thank you.

Uh, Dr. Wakefield?

What are you doing?

I was just gonna go
check on a patient.

You know, actually,
I think that's my patient.

Oh, sorry.

Listen, I, um...

I just wanted to say that
I am really sorry about Paul.

He was one of the first people
to reach out to me here.

Yeah, Paul was like that.

So, uh, how's that elbow?

It's fine.

The truth.

Hurts like hell.

So what are you doing
checking on patients?

Uh, I need to be here.

All right, I'll be back.

There it is.

She's on the board.
There's no turning back.

Of course James River
must seem like a
John Tesh concert to you.

Huh?

His music could be used
as an anesthetic.

His music was used
to inspire our troops.

right.

Oh, you're serious.

I missed you, Ray.

You did?
Yeah.

Is that why you're back early?

You couldn't bear to be
without me for another minute?

Yeah, let's go with that.

Hey, Marcus, do me a favor.

Can you look up with some links
or articles on Calvin Jenkins

Since he's been
behind bars?
Consider it done.

Okay, thanks.

Are we gonna talk
about your text?

What about it?

Well, like,
did he get down on one knee?

He's handcuffed to a bed.

Yeah, I'm talking about Tom.

There was no knee.
There was no ring.

I didn't even know he was
serious until this morning.

Sounds like some great sex.

It was.

But his friend just died.

You know, you can't make
a decision like this

After something like that
happens.

His head can't be
in the right place.

Maybe his heart is.

I mean, what if we get married
and then in two weeks,

He wakes up and he's like,
"what did I do?"

Do you love him?

It's fast.

Took you a year and a half
to sleep with him.

What's your idea of slow?

Okay, it's a little fast
for...You.

But it's also spontaneous,
exciting...

Romantic.

It was romantic.

Christina.

This is Calvin Jenkins.

Wow.

- Get off me!
- No.

You don't know me like that!

I cannot let you in here,
ma'am.

Step off!
I got people up in here!

Ma'am,
I cannot let you in here.

Look, I said I got people
up in here!

It's okay. It's okay.

Okay.

Well, if it ain't
the one-legged wonder

And the tiny terror herself.

Oh, look at you, Isabel.
Starting trouble already.

You look good, girl.
Come here.

Thank you.

Feel great, too.

Ain't nobody give me the memo
about the move.

I ain't got no hurt feelings,
though.

From the looks of things,
y'all slumming it worse than me.

This place is a pit.

How's your baby boy?
Have you been visiting Moses?

Yeah.

Yeah, he growing so fast.

His first word was "ball,"

So you know he following
in his mama footsteps.

He gonna have some game.

What?

Damn.

At least y'all got
a little eye candy out here

To balance out
this Guantánamo vibe.

Yeah, the River is not without
its perks.

Oh, the River's got problems.
Y'all been outside?

There's all kind of folks
out there fighting each other

'cause y'all got Calvin Jenkins
holed up in here.

Y'all have heard him blow?

He got a crazy lip.

You think you can get me
an autograph?

Or maybe a conjugal?

Uh, no.

Wh... what the...

Swarm of bees nesting
in the drop ceiling.

Damn freak show up in here.

Some help here, please!

Getting ugly out there.
Somebody threw a bottle.

What's your name?

Darius.

Okay, Darius,
I need you to hold this

Against your forehead,
okay?
All right.

Can you make it over here?
Yeah.

Darius, do you feel like
you have any other injuries?

Nah, I'm cool, man.
Okay.

We've got another protester,

This one's having
an asthma attack.

You guys call rt.

Sir, can I just see
your inhaler?

Right, let's get him started
on xopenex and atrovent.

What's going on out there?

The old bill
just arrived.
The what?

The police.
That son of a bitch
deserves to fry.

What you talkin' 'bout, man? You
don't know nothin' 'bout him.

Let's keep it outside.

I know murders increased
about three times
in Columbia heights...

You be quiet and let me listen
to your lungs.
...After he killed
pastor Tompkins.

Shut up, man.
Calvin's a genius.
Hey, stop it.

Pastor Tompkins was a hero,
a leader.

Okay, guys, can you help me
get him out of here?

Getting kids
out of the life.
We'll go to exam 3.

That place is a war zone now!

So is this.

Calvin, I'm Christina Hawthorne,
director of nursing.

I've a itch on my ankle
that's driving me crazy.

Do you think you could, uh...

Is it your right ankle?

Oh, damn thing.

Damn thing.

They say it's 'cause my brain
is sliding down my spinal canal.

Or karma.

Yeah, some people think
a man like me can't change.

Can you blame them?

I'm from the heights.

Neighborhood went to hell

After you murdered
pastor Tompkins.

Look, I-I've been living
with this for 25 years.

Let me get my violin.

Look, I ain't making
no excuses.

You know, I know what I did.

I've spent every day
trying to make up for it.

That won't bring
the pastor back.

No, it won't.
Of course not.

I mean, this is why I speak out.
This is why I write books.

You know,
just do anything I can

To help young brothers
avoid the path to ruin.

Your murder

Put most of those brothers
on that path in the first place.

I've done terrible things.

But redemption is possible.

You know,
st. Paul was... was blinded
on the road to Damascus.

So now you're a man of God?

I'm close.
I'm a musician.

So I've heard.

I met a trumpet player,
Skeeter Jackson, inside.

He taught me
how to play the horn.

He encouraged me to...

To get a degree
in music philosophy.

I mean, folks just need
to find their thing in life,

And just...
just like you have.

You know, helping people.

You know,
Skeeter changed my life.

I just want to help
change the lives of others.

That's all.

Everything all right?

Peaches and cream, darlin'.

Question is,
how are things out there?

Eh, it's a little crazy,
but Morrissey's handling it.

How's Calvin?

I'm not free to talk about
other patients.

I gather you're a supporter?

I'm more than a supporter.
I owe that brother my life.

What are you, 17?

He's been locked up
since before you were born.

Yeah, and a few years back,

I was just another thug
on the streets.

I mean, you couldn't
tell me nothing, you feel me?

By now, I'd be locked up
or dead somewhere.

My counselor took me
to hear Calvin speak, and...

I don't know.
He just really opened my eyes.

Well, my friend, we'll get you
properly cleaned up,

And you are all set.

Good luck at Juilliard.

Juilliard?

Full ride.

After hearing what Calvin said

And then listening to him blow,

I just picked up
the upright bass, and...

Ended up being my ticket
out of Jackson ward.

That's impressive.

Sounds like
you got yourself to thank.

I couldn't have done it
without Calvin.

You know, we were constantly
waiting on supply shipments,

So we had to improvise,
like using a Foley catheter

To get a foreign body
out of the esophagus.

Wow, that's a far cry
from draining urine.

yeah.

It was trial by fire,
but I loved it.

I'm thinking about
getting certified

As a trauma specialist.

Oh, that's great.
And med school?

You know, actually,
I've been thinking
about it since we spoke.

And?
And I'm seriously considering
taking my mcats again.

I think that's great.

Good for you.

Wow.

Look who's back.

It's the first day.

Isn't that nice?

Clicking the morphine,

But my arm's still killing me
and my chest won't stop burning.

You know what?

We're gonna do everything we can
to help you with that.

Yeah, sir, we're gonna set up
a conscious sedation for you

So you're not gonna feel
any pain when Dr. Marshall here

Changes the dressing
on your wound, okay?

Wake me up
when the damn thing's healed.

Think about this...

If you could take a vacation
anywhere in the world,

Where would you go?

That's easy.
Brazil.

The women walk around
in two band-aids and a cork.

All right, close your eyes,

Think about it,

And...Describe it to me.

Me too, please.

I'm walking on the beach,

And the water is...

And...Thank God we don't have
to hear any more of that.

Tweezers.

B.P. Is 110 over 70.

Irrigate with normal saline.

Got it.

Mm-hmm.

Oh, that reminds me
of the I.E.D. Injuries I saw.

Scissors.

I mean, the stuff
that we were doing

To manage pain over there
were amazing.

Oh, really?

Yeah, well, you know,
you treat each pain differently

Instead of just giving
one narcotic.

Oh, for God's sake,

I-I realize we don't
all have the benefit

Of your
transcendent experience,

But give it a rest, will you?

If I wanted a commando Barbie,

I would have ordered one
on ebay.

- Down now!
- No!

Come on!
No!

Hey, hey!
What is going on in here?

He won't let me put in
a Foley catheter.

I paged Dr. Clegg.
Look, I told you,
I don't need that thing.

Okay, why don't we just
give it a minute, okay?
Okay.

I didn't spend 25 years
inside the prison

To be offed in some hospital.

Calvin, I need you
to settle down, okay?

We're here to help you.

How do I know I can trust you?

We're nurses, not guards, okay?

You know,
I just met a kid downstairs

That says he's going
to Juilliard because of you.

Little Darius is downstairs?

And a whole bunch
of other folks.

You've made quite an impact.

Music moves people.

So I see.

How many more lives you think
you can save with nine months?

I ain't never gonna be able
to play my horn again anyway.

You let us get you right
and you will.

I hope that's a promise
you can keep.

She was a stripper,

And she wanted to go from
a "b" cup to a triple "e."

Crazy.

Um, it was my first case
as head of the committee,

And so we had to decide
if it was ethical
to give her breasts

That could potentially cause
major back problems.

Oh, Paul must have loved
that one.

Oh, actually,
he abstained from voting.

Said he couldn't concentrate
on her tits

'cause he was more
of an ass man.

excuse me.

chest X-ray's back
for patient one.

Okay, thank you.

How you feeling?

Good. Thanks.

Nurse practitioner to
obstetrics, room 6325.

Nurse practitioner to
obstetrics, room 6325.

Did Dr. Clegg
return my page?

His office called.

He's finishing up
an intracranial hematoma,

But Marshall's covering.

I could page her if you want.

No. Just find out how long
clegg's gonna be for me, okay?

You got it.

Why are you still here?

You were supposed to go
and get some rest.

I don't want to go home.

what do you mean
you don't want to go home?

Tom, you are physically
and emotionally exhausted.

I'm really worried about you,
okay?

The most important thing
for you right now

Is to just take care
of yourself.

No, the most important thing
is us.

I can't even think right now.

I don't even know how you can.
I mean, I've got some...

We've been dancing
around this for a year.

I know what I want.

So sorry.

I thought you might
want to know,

Clegs surgery
is just wrapping up.

Thank you.

okay.

We'll talk later.

Okay.

Look, one more.
One more.

I'm telling you,
I'm gonna make this one.

Got to have a lighter touch
if you want to be a doctor.

Let's see what you can do.

Nothing but...

Ahh.

The basket's what?

Marcus,
did you get the labs back

On my abdominal pain in three?

Gave them to Dr. Shaw

And already paged
a surgical consult.

Not that it's not great
to see you,

But I can't have you hanging out
in the E.R. All day long.

Actually, um,
I been hanging around

'cause I-I got a problem
with some skrilla.

What is that, like crabs?

Nah, girl.
I'm talking about money.

I got a line on a room,
and I-I need a loan,

Some cash to lock it down.

What kind of cash
are we talking about?

800 bones.

But before you start,
it's all legit.

I can cover the rent
with my job at the shelter,

But on account of my history,

They... they want
a security deposit, too.

I got to think about this,
Isabel.

Okay, I understand.

Could you think faster?

There's not a lot
of inventory out there

For people in my situation.

I'll try.

Marcus, can you refill
the 18-gauge hep locks?

In exam two.

And I already called
central supply.

They're on their way.

Hey.

Take a break, grab lunch?
My treat.

My two favorite words.

Hector's covering.

I just got to drop these off
at radiology,

And I've got
a 40-minute window.

Sweet.

Walk with me?
Yeah.

I see that Calvin's surgery

Is not posted on the ICU board
or this one.

I've decided to remove myself
from the case.

Just like that?
No, Morrissey's aware
of the situation.

Morrissey's aware that you're
abandoning your patient?

I received a threatening message
on my machine.

I was fully prepared
to treat Calvin,

But not at the risk
of my own life.

Can you guarantee my safety?

He's about to be executed
anyway. It's not worth it.

So, what do you think?
Burgers, burritos, hot dogs?

Hot dogs?
Yeah.

Have you seen
what's in those things?

total test.
You passed.

Good, 'cause I try to steer
clear of regurgitated cow scraps

Disguised as
the all-American snack.

The ingredients in
those things are nuts.

My dad used s, um,

"if you can't pronounce it,
don't eat it."

Smart n.

Yes, he was.

Wow.

This is insane.

Yeah, it's been building up
all day.

You know, it's weird.
You miss the most random things.

Like, my dad used to
take me to the carytown
watermelon festival

And I hated it.

I thought it was so lame.

But now all it takes
is for me to see a watermelon

And I start to tear up.

Pretty stupid, huh?

I totally get it.

I mean, it must be hard
not having him around.

You close with your dad?

Last we spoke, he was in Texas.

He's always chasing
some get-rich-quick scheme.

Sucks.

Yeah.

I seen a lot worse
come through the River.

So I guess I just got
to focus on my life

And keep moving forward.

Portable X-ray to E.R.

Hey.
Hi.

Hey, Erin, how are you?
Good. How are you?

Listen, I need to bring a case
to the ethics committee,

And I need it heard
as soon as possible.

Okay, well, what's the case?

Dr. Clegg and his refusal
to operate on Calvin Jenkins.

Well, we can't force a doctor
to operate.

It's within his rights.

It's not unethical.

Listen, if the state
wants Calvin dead,

That's on them, not us.

Dr. Clegg has had threats
against his life.

There's nothing I can do.

I'm sorry, Christina.

It's... it's not a question
of ethics.

Sorry, doll.
Cart's got a mind of its own.

Anyone in here want a magazine?

Apparently the wall
fell in Berlin.

What do you give me
on wizards/Lakers?

Magic men plus 10.

God bless ya.

Are you making book?

Just peddling papers.

800 bucks.
Whoo, that's quite a big chunk.

Yeah, but I talked
to her social worker

And the woman
who runs the boardinghouse

And it seems legit.

She's come a long way, huh?

Yeah, I know.
I'm proud of her.

So, where are you leaning?

Well, this is also
the same Isabel

Who stole my leg
for no good reason.

Well, it's also the same Isabel

That threw down to get it back.

Has anybody seen Marcus?

I need him to restock the epi
on the crash cart in 16.

Damn bees.

You know what?
I'll talk to you later.

Okay.

Hey.

So, where are we standing
on getting Calvin the surgery?

on a thin ledge.

Dr. Raker's in Mexico helping
doctors without borders.

What about a surgical resident?

They can't handle this.

All right, so what's the plan?

I'm arranging a transfer.

You're what?

This cost us money.

So that's it?

that and the stack
of red tape on my desk.

doesn't that sting?

Yes. Yes, it does.

I got your 911.
Which patient?

You.

I think it's time
we take care of that arm.

I thought I've been doing that.

Well, the concern with
an elbow injury is nerve damage,

And I made a few phone calls,
and I was able to get you

An appointment
with Dr. Asheesh danee.

He is one of
the finest neurosurgeons

When it comes
to ulnar nerve injuries.

I-I really appreciate that,

But I'm not really
in the mood for a
three-hour drive right now.

Well, I'm not a chauffeur, so
I've got something else in mind.

Seriously,
what is Marshall's problem?

I don't know, but she's
had something up her ass

Ever since she started here.

Hey, you!
Welcome back.

Oh!
I don't know whether
to hug you or salute you.

I'll take a hug.

Hey, what is this,
a private party?

No, this is an
"I'm so glad to see candy,

"you look amazing,
love your hair,

I'm so proud of you
I could burst" party.

Now, if we're done
bashing Marshall,

I'm going back to my sudoku.

You GU...
you guys were bashing Marshall?

We were commiserating

About her
less-than-cheerful demeanor.

So you were
bashing Marshall.
Yeah.

Can't you do us a favor

And hit that
in the on-call room?

Turn that frown upside down.

I'll get on that
right away.
There you go.

No way.

Do you really do it at work?

What?

Oh, no.
You didn't break up, did you?

You and Marshall?

Seriously?

Oh, I am so sorry, Ray.

I thought everyone knew.

Give me 20 minutes.
They will.

I'm so sorry.

I've already been away
much longer than I should have.

You're that guy

Who never ditched class
in school, aren't you?

I ditched.

Yeah, right.

W... hey.

You're a bad influence,
Camille Hawthorne.

It's my turn to play doctor.

Calvin,
there's been a change in plans.

I heard.

The doctor won't do
the operation.

Well, what's most important

Is that you're getting
the operation, not who does it.

So we're gonna transfer you
tonight to vcu, okay?

Is your arm going numb?

This...One.

My left side.

Calvin?

It smells like burnt toast.

Code blue, ICU.
Code blue, ICU.

Help me turn him on his side.
We have to keep his airway open.

Screw him.
Let the son of a bitch die.

Save the taxpayers
a pile of money.

Will you just do your job?

My job's guarding the door.

Ray.
Yes?

Lorazepam,
two milligrams, I.V. Stat.

This thing is progressing fast.

Yeah, he doesn't get into
surgery soon, he's gonna die.

- It's been too long.
- Yes, it has.

Dr. Danee, I'd like you to meet
Dr. Tom Wakefield.

I enjoyed your lecture
on peripheral neuropathy

At Georgetown.

I enjoyed giving it.

Erin, tell your father
I look forward to seeing him

On the greens at sebonack
this summer.

Well, you better be ready.

He has taken two strokes
off his game.

Well, I've laid out everything

That you requested
in your e-mail.

The concern is the ulnar nerve.

Dr. Wakefield,
are you experiencing

Any abnormal sensations
in your fingers?

Uh, there's a...

There's a slight burning
in my ring finger.

Dr. Jameson,
please take the pin

And test for response
in that area.

Okay.

Okay.

Do you feel that?

No. Nothing.

Now poke near the index finger.

Ow.

Now take the brush and
lightly run it from the wrist

Down to the fourth
and fifth fingers.

Do you feel anything?

No, not really. They're...
they're... they're pretty numb.

One final test.

Please take a nut and try
to attach it to the bolt.

Um...

It's okay?

Yep, just grab my wrist.

Okay.

I got it.
Okay.

Damn it.

I got it.

It's all right,
Dr. Wakefield.

I-I've seen what I need to.

W-which is what?

I-I cannot lose dexterity.

We should schedule surgery.

Slow down.

I want to get an emg
and allow another day or two

To see if the swelling
subsides.

Then we'll reassess.

No need to make a decision
today.

It's always good
to take a little time.

Dr. Clegg.

Your persistence is admirable.
I have to give you that.

Calvin's condition has changed.

Well, luckily for him,
there's a very good team

Waiting for him over at vcu.

Yeah, well,
he just had seizure, okay?

He's dying. He will never
survive that transfer.

I'm sorry to hear that.

I know your life
has been threatened,

And I understand
why you canceled the surgery,

But if you give in,
then the extremists win.

This is the first time
I've ever been scared

To walk into an operating room.

I understand,
but we took an oath.

He's already had his judge
and jury.

But if you do nothing,
that is essentially murder.

You want that on your hands?

How are you doing,
Mr. Standish?

Pain's still pretty bad.

Other than that,
I'm doing okay.

Dr. Marshall,
I skyped a doctor

That I worked with overseas
about this case.

He suggested a local block

That would help with the pain
of the crushed arm.

And he also suggested ssris
for the tingling and burning.

You know what?

If it's good enough
for our troops,

It's good enough
for James River.

Thank you, nurse Sullivan.
I will go write up the order.

Wow, she took that well.
Mm.

She's like a whole new woman.

You guys didn't...

No.

Not at work.
Of course not.

What do you call
French fries?

Chips.

Then what do you call
potato chips?

Crisps.

Okay, James Bond,
what you call the bathroom?

'cause I got to go.

We call that the loo.

Damn.

Y'all sure can talk.

Y'all even make
the toilet sound sexy.

Ow! Ohh, ohh.

You all right?

What is it, your knee?

Always.

Do you want me to take a look?

Yeah.

My vagina hurt, too.

Okay, stop
before I have to get the hose.

On that note,
I'll, um...Yeah.

I definitely got to get
my butt to England.

Why don't you stay here
and get yourself a room?

Here's 800 bucks.

Miss cha-cha-cha
coming through with the moolala!

B girl, you my hero.

Thank you.

How about after work, you come
by and check out my spot?

Don't you need some time
to settle in first?

Girl, it's one room.

Trust me...
It'll be ready.

Well, then, I'll be there.

Thank you.

Officer Reed,
if this is your attempt

To stop me from reporting you,
you are wasting your breath.

This is Emily Tompkins.

Calvin Jenkins
murdered my father.

I'm very sorry about that.

Won't you come in?

You can have a seat right here.

I won't take up
much of your time.

No, no worries.

Thought you should know
everything about Calvin.

I was 16.

My dad was the pastor
at fellowship baptist.

Calvin ran in
after the Sunday service.

He stuck a knife
in my dad's face,

Said he wanted the money
from the collection plate.

My dad told him to take it.

Then he jabbed the knife...
In his throat.

He pulled it so hard,
it almost sliced his head off.

Emily, you don't have to...

He could have just
taken the money...

But he grabbed my hair.

His eyes were all crazy.

And then he stabbed me
in my stomach.

Threw me down...

Started kicking me...

And he just kept kicking me.

I curled up in a ball

Then I felt this burning pain

In my back...

Again...
And again and again.

They told me he stabbed me
17 times.

that animal...

Is treated like a celebrity...

And my kids never got
to meet their grandfather.

Thank you for your time, ma'am.

I know that face.

I spent my life...

Getting news from people
with that face.

The hardest part is waiting.

At least now I know.

I met Emily Tompkins today.

What did she tell you?

She showed me.

I'm not that man anymore.

You're gonna get your surgery.

Good luck.

It ain't no deluxe apartment
in the sky,

But...It's home.

Yeah.

Bobbie, I couldn't have
done this without you.

You actually have Christina
to thank as well.

She ponied up half the cash.

Oh, then I better get on
this repayment plan real fast

'cause I wouldn't want
mighty mite

Going all boogie down Bronx
on me.

That's to keep me focused.

Figure if I can lock down a job
for a year

And show social services
that I'm stable...

Then maybe...

Hey.
Good news.

Frank Standish... doing great
on the new pain med.

Well, candy really hit it out of
the ballpark with that one.

Yeah.

It's a good thing she was able

To skype that doctor overseas.

Mm-hmm.

You know, I have no clue
how that works.

Are you familiar with skype?

Mm, not really, no.

What is it,
some kind of e-mail or...

No, I think it's... it's
more like a video thingy,
I think.

You think or y-you know?

I know.

Do you happen to know

Why it's all over my computer?

Because someone
was skyping Afghanistan.

You know, I see
the way you look at her.

I thought this was so good.

I mean, how can I compete
with her?

Hey, you're the one

That I-I think about
all day, okay?

Mm-hmm.

You're the one that I love
to curl up with at night.

Brenda, listen to me.

You have nothing
to feel threatened about.

You're incredible.

You're the one
that I want to be with.

You're the one
I want to be with, all right?

got it!

What's going on?

We were being tormented
by a rogue bee.

Hopefully, it's the last one.

When I was in the peace corps,

I was once swarmed
by a colony of red ants.

You know, you got a lot
of crazy stories.

All of them true.

So, has it calmed down
out there?

Richmond's finest
made a couple of arrests.

So now everyone's willing
to give peace a chance.

Nice. Nice.

Well, I'm out of here.
Have a great evening.

All right, you too.
All right.

Hey.
You headed out?

I am.

I love you.

And last night was great.

Hey, when it's right,
it's right.

I thought that love
was a one-time thing,

And this whole "marry me"
thing, I just...

I see us together, and...

I really want to be with you.

Christina, I love you.

What...
what else do you need?

Tom, I don't want
to mess this up.

You understand?

No.

Wh...
what are you saying?

I'm saying no.
