The Night Shift (2014–2017): Season 3, Episode 3 - The Way Back - full transcript

I may not be able to make it.

Right.

Mom, I know
it's your anniversary,

but they may extend me
till October.

Well, it's a war.
I don't control it.

Right, I know. Mom... Okay.

Right, listen, I got to go.

My commander just came in.
We got casualties coming in.

Right.
Love you. Yeah.

I said,
"what are you doing here?"

Working.



I know that.

I thought maybe you were going
to take a week off,

you know, get settled back in.

I've lost four months
of my chief year.

I'm not taking
any more time off.

Okay.
Welcome back.

- Incoming!
- Who's that?

New intern, man.
She's something else.

What do we got?

Wedding photo at wedding island
gone wrong.

Bride tripped over her heels

bringing the groom with her
into the river.

I'm fine.
Just help my wife, please.

- Shannon.
- On it.



Hey, sit down, sir.

It's easier
if you don't fight us.

- Jordan.
- Drew, hey.

We'll catch up later, okay?

This is the bride.

Possible c-spine injury.

My neck... Really hurts.

I know it does, sweetie.
I'm Dr. Alexander.

I'm going to take care of you.

Can you tell me your name?

Kryztal.
Where's my husband?

He's already inside
getting treated,

so let's get you in there, too.

All right, drew, we got
another one coming.

So let me know
if you need any help.

I won't... Need any help.

The rest of the wedding party.

I got a major emergency here.

Pete here has got
a broken... Heart

from not getting
to nail the hot bridesmaid.

You think that's funny,

you bunch of entitled ass wipes?

Huh?

Hey, people die here, all right?

They bleed on the ground
you're standing on.

Drew, get the patient.
The patient.

I'm with the doc.
Bunch of frat boy a-holes.

This is Jorge,
father of the bride.

He's got a head laceration
and angulated wrist fracture.

Otherwise known as an Owie.

I'm fine, doc.
How's my little girl doing?

Let's get you cleaned up first,
then we'll check on her.

Will there be any celebrities?

Oh, of course, Mrs. Zia.
You'll be here.

Thanks for being here

and blowing off your date.

Oh, I didn't blow it off.
It wasn't a date.

Just going to meet her
later at her place.

My point is thanks
for being my buffer.

Just gotta show her a good time

and then she leaves bright
and early in the morning.

No problem.
I love your mom.

You wouldn't say that

if she came to stay
with you for a month.

It's almost over.
I get my life back.

Oh, this is so exciting.

I love the fancy casinos
in Atlantic city.

Here, guys.
Have a little fun on me.

Drink, gamble.

Maybe you'll find another
hot chick here tonight.

Maybe...

Or maybe not.

This place is a dump,
Christopher.

Why would you bring me here?

- Just keep her busy.
- I got you.

Come on, Mrs. Zia.
Let's go have some fun.

Okay, does this hurt?

No.

All right.
How about here?

A little.

All right.

K, you all right?

I'm fine.

Sorry, he wouldn't sit still.

Wanted to be with his wife.

It's okay. We're going to
take her to CT,

clear her cervical spine.

Is there any news on the father?

Don't waste your breath on him.

Okay.

Just, he ruins everything.

This... this is all his fault.

It's a long story.

It's the same story.

He says he's sober and he's not.

My mother passed last year,

and I just wanted someone
from my family at my wedding.

I... I should've known better.

And he... he... Kryztal?
Kryztal?

Kryztal?

What's happening?!
Help her.

Colles' fracture.

Orthopod should get here
in a few hours.

I'm fine.

All right, good.

Now let's take a look
at this cut here.

Heard the nurses talking.

Army doc, huh?
Where were you stationed?

This time, Bagram.

Was a medic in Iraq, back
when it was the wild west.

Those were the days.

You ever do patrol
on Al-Rashid street

- between Shuhada?
- And the Anhar Bridges.

That crammed bazaar there,

waiting any second
for someone to hit an IED.

That was the hairiest thing

I've ever been through
in my life.

Where were you?

'03, I was chasing down Saddam.

Back in '04 and '05.

Then Kandahar, '07 and '09.

Sounds like you should've
bought some property.

Yeah. Everybody needs
a good mud hut, right?

Yeah.

You married?

To another soldier.

Smart man.
My wife never did get it.

World goes on without you,
you know?

Yeah, I got a friend back there

that's missing her daughter's
13th birthday.

It's all she can think about.

I missed plenty of those.

Recitals, dances, soccer games.

Truth is, my daughter didn't
want me at her wedding.

Well, that sounds
a little harsh.

Yeah.

Irony is that every time
I was out there,

every single time, just
the thought of my daughter

was the only thing
that kept me going.

Yeah.

Please, help her!

Does she have a history
of fainting?

No, no way.

Is it possible she's pregnant?

I don't think so.

I mean, she...
She would've told me.

Any drugs, alcohol?

No. Yeah, actually.

She's taking anti-anxiety
medicine for the wedding.

She's so high-strung,

she was having bad dreams
and nightmares.

Okay. Can you tell me the names
of these medications?

I... I don't know.
I'm sorry. I don't know.

All right.
Let's get her to CT.

Can I go with her?

Once she's conscious, you can.

But we have to take her
for some scans, all right?

We'll be back.

I love you, k!

5.

No more underhand throws,
old man.

And no more lip, dollface.

Unless you want
to plant them on mine.

If you don't crap out,

I'll do whatever you want
with my eyes open.

Oh.

Who's this child?
Is that your boyfriend?

Maybe he is.
Maybe he isn't.

You just broke my heart.

- Ah. Come on.
- Easy 4.

She crushed me.
What can I say?

If you give him some love,
he'll get back on a roll.

Stop shooting blanks, old man.

I'll give you my number
if you roll me something good.

Well, now I got incentive.

No, no, you don't,
and no, you won't.

What's going on here?

I take one call from Janet,
and you're playing craps?

What happened to bingo?

Hey, your mother
won't be kept down.

I don't know.
She's good.

Bingo is boring.

Why would you bring me
to a casino to play bingo?

Look in my eyes.
Look in my eyes.

There you go.

Hard 10, yeah!

- Yes!
- Yes!

- Yes!
- Yes!

Oh.

- Oh.
- Oh, hey.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

No one touch this table.

- Hey. Hands off.
- Okay. Okay.

Hey.

Pulse is pounding.
150s, at least.

Regular rhythm?

Yeah, probably svt.

He's unstable.
We need to cardiovert.

Grab the defibrillator off
the wall, right there, now.

Go.

Let's go! Let's go!

Come on.
Thank you.

Okay, ready?

- Clear.
- Clear.

No battery?!
Come on!

I called the ambulance,

but they're coming
from the city,

at least half an hour.

Okay. Toph, he doesn't
have that long.

No, no, he doesn't.
Okay.

Hey, Jocelyn,
can you let me know

when Kryztal gets out of CT?

- Yes, Dr. Alexander.
- Thank you.

So what's up
with your fireman Sam?

His buddy Jonah tells me
you two went out again?

Your place or his?

Seriously, did we not
just have this conversation

about how when you're at work,

I am your supervisor,
not your friend?

Okay, I don't want to discuss
my personal life here,

and if I do happen to tell you
something personal off hours,

I don't want you
to discuss it here.

I've been the topic
of enough gossip

to last me a lifetime.

- Got it.
- Oh, yeah?

Nurse?
Can I get a little help?

My, um, my leg hurts.

Yeah.

You know what?

I'm going to let you
get that one.

Sure.
After my next patient.

- Jordan?
- Oh, hey.

- Hey, what's up?
- Hi.

I did not get to greet you
properly earlier.

- Yeah, there was a lot going on.
- Yeah.

What's going on with Kryztal?

Her dad wants to know.

He's been asking about her
every two minutes.

He wants to see her.

I think it would do him so good.

This whole wedding thing
has gotten him a little upset.

Yeah, I don't think
it's a good idea right now.

Why not?

Well, she made it
pretty clear from her part

that they're not that close,

and she feels like
he ruined her wedding.

Oh, did he push her
in the river?

I... I'm just saying
that I don't think

it's a good idea and that
we shouldn't get involved.

Why are you so upset by this?

'Cause I hate it
when people don't respect

what someone like him
has been through.

No one's saying that.

Yeah, he told me he missed
a lot of things,

but he was at war
defending his country,

so I think that's
a pretty good excuse

for missing
a few softball games.

I... I totally agree,
but from what she said,

it's more to do with him
being an alcoholic.

Yeah, I wonder if five tours

has anything to do with that.

Um... Okay, look, drew,
you... You just got back.

You're a little raw.

That's not what this is about.

I'm speaking up for my patient.

And I'm speaking up for mine.

Okay, she's high-strung,
she's fainting.

Please, let me fix my patient

before we decide to solve
any of the family issues.

For now, we'll just... we'll
have to agree to disagree.

You'd think after everything
you went through with T.C.,

you'd be on that guy's side.

I checked all four aeds,
all missing their batteries.

I found an amp bag.

Toph, his pulse
is getting weaker.

We need to get him back
in sinus asap.

Uh, what about
cold water immersion?

Stimulate his diving reflex.

Good idea.
Got...

All right.

Let's make some room.

Okay, make some room,
make some room, come on.

Give them some room.

The doctor says he needs room.

Here, hold this.

Ready? Let's go.

There we go.

There we go.

Thank you.

There we go.

Yeah, his pulse
is back to normal.

Amazing.
T.C. Saved him!

That was amazing.

It was all Topher's idea,
Mrs. Zia.

I was just the busboy.

You're too modest, Dr. Callahan.

We'll get you training
with Topher, man.

Little cycling,
we'll get you on schedule.

- That's...
- Look, no biggie.

That's great, man.
Hey, listen, one other thing.

I know you guys, I know
you like teasing Paul.

And I get that.

But I would really appreciate it

if you toned it down
just a little bit.

I just don't want it
affecting his work.

No problem.
I'll spread the word.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

Oh.
Hey, bro.

- Hey.
- How you doing?

Great. What was that...
That with Scott?

Uh, he... he wants me to...
He wants me

to train him,
get him back in shape.

You know, chicks love the abs.

Right, right.

So... so he wasn't saying
anything about me?

And before you answer,
I will remind you

that I have the hearing
of an elephant.

Okay, fine.

He asked us to stop messing
with you,

and I said we would.

He... he didn't need
to do that.

Makes me look bad,

like I can't take care
of myself, you know?

Hey, tell him, not me.

- T? T?
- Yeah.

I'm telling you, she loves you,
you love casinos.

Toph, Toph, if you leave now,

she will never let you
hear the end of it.

Yeah, that's true.

She's getting up there, man.

Come on, you complain,

but what if it's her last visit?

Hey, my mom, she's going
to outlive me.

Okay.

You know, I said
the same thing about my mom,

and you know when
I got to tell her

what she meant to me?

Over a respirator
on her coma bed.

Maybe she heard,
maybe she didn't.

Time to go, guys.

All right, you go, I'll stay.

Worst case, get drunk,
call an uber.

I've had enough people
in my life

trying to fix things for me,

you know, and I'm tired of it.

I get that.
I do, but you see my point?

I need the E.R. and
the surgical departments

to work well together and
if they don't respect you...

Well, they... they will.

Look, I'm... I'm not
the rah-rah guy.

I'm the lead by example guy.

They will follow me.
It just might take a bit longer.

You know, maybe... maybe
it's not your way or T.C.'S,

but, you know,
I could do it my way.

Okay. All right.
Let's see how that goes.

So what's up?

Just, um, something wrong
right here.

It hurts, so you might
need to examine it.

Okay.
Well, let me take a look.

Drop your pants, let's see it.

See it?

Yes. It. Your penis.

That's clearly what
you're hinting at, right?

I'm just letting you know
that my leg...

Come on, you started this joke.

Let's...
Let's see it through.

Let's... let's see
how big you are.

My guess is
you're an inch-worm.

Big-mouth guys
usually are.

Everything okay here?

Huh. Yeah,
I think we're good here.

Right, guys?

You've all learned
a valuable lesson

about wasting
a doctor's time, right?

And you, hipster dude,
give me your phone.

I know you were
taking a picture.

Come on.

You're lucky I don't break this.

Oh. Nice.
Crop shot.

Delete.

Holy.

This is one right
before she tripped.

Look, push in
and you can see her eyes

already rolling back
in her head.

Yeah, so she didn't trip,
she fainted.

Nice find.

So what does that mean?

Well, I'm going to
have radiology

read your scan right away,
so we can figure this out.

But for now, I'm going to have
Dr. Rivera stay with you, okay?

Let's scoot you over.

I can't get over
calling you Dr. Rivera.

You look like my age.

Well, I can't get over the fact

that you're my age
and you're married.

It just made sense, I guess.

You got anyone special?

You mean, someone
I've swiped right on?

Nah. Marriage is
the last thing on my mind.

Well, that may change when
you meet the right person.

I don't have time
for the right person.

I come from a small town,
like a really small town.

They paid for my med school

and they're sort of
depending on me,

so I don't have time for someone
special in my schedule,

until say, 2025.

I know what you're saying.

You think I'm drunk,
right? Huh?

I'm not good enough?

- Nobody's saying that.
- Everybody said it!

I heard them at the wedding.

Your labs came back clean.

I can tell you didn't drink.

All right, I'll tell them that.

All right.
It'll be fine.

- Jorge?
- You!

- Hey, what's going on?
- Not true, not true.

- No, listen.
- Get away from me!

- Get back!
- Hey, hey, hey!

Okay.
All right, all right.

- Get away from me.
- Okay.

- Get away from me!
- Everybody, back!

Stay in the rooms!
What happened?

No idea.
He just went crazy.

- Get away from me!
- Please drop the scalpel.

- Let us help you, okay?
- Get them away!

Drop the scalpel.

No, no, no.

Talk to us.
What's going on?

You see them?
Do you see them?!

- It's okay.
- Get them off of me!

Jorge, we will.

- I got this.
- No, no, no!

Get some restraints!

Okay, he's fully sedated.

Let's get him to trauma 3.

- What did he do now?
- He started another fight?

No, he didn't start a fight,
okay?

- He wasn't himself.
- What?

Your father's hurting
right now, okay?

You should reach out to him.
He needs you.

He needs me?

He wasn't there for me
when I needed him.

And who are you?

Okay. All right.
What the hell are you doing?

I was just explaining
her father's situation.

No, you were lobbying for him
and you need to back off.

- I don't feel very well.
- Jordan.

- What's wrong? Kryztal.
- She's out again.

She's in v-tach.
We need a crash cart.

I can't believe you rushed
a guy with a scalpel.

I don't know, man,
I just... I just reacted.

Yeah, I mean,
that's what I thought

last year at the accident.

Almost cost me my career.

Yeah, but look at you now.

Gonna be a bad-ass surgeon
just like your pops.

Hey, I'm... I'm proud
of you, man.

Uh-huh.

Yeah, this part of Scott's
request or something?

No, no, I'm being serious.

When you first got here,
man, you were like...

You were like a scared
little mouse, man.

You'd sweat,
your voice would crack.

Yeah, that's your compliment?

Yeah, that's my compliment.

- Got it.
- I'm saying how far you've come.

Thanks, man.
Uh...

That really means a lot.
You saying...

Come on, don't get
all emotional on me now.

No, no.
I'm... I'm not.

I'm just... with my hand
surgery, and the rehab...

It's all I've dreamed of
ever since I was 5.

Hmm.

You know, I guess... I guess
you just don't know

how much you really want
something

until you almost lose it,
you know?

Yeah, I do.

Yeah.

I figured I'd be finishing up
my NFL career by now.

But here I am.

Yeah, but I mean
you love being a nurse.

Yeah, I do.
I do.

But it wasn't my dream
since I was 5.

Come on.

Please, you got to help me.

Doc, you got to help me.

You called for a trauma consult?

Yeah, blunt head trauma
with worsening mental state.

May have sustained a brain bleed
or a concussion,

so we're going to get him a CT.

- Let's go.
- I don't feel good.

I don't feel good.

You just got to relax,
Jorge, okay?

- We're going to do a CT...
- No! Don't you touch me!

Don't you touch me!

Type and cross for 4.
Page GI. Let's go.

Her EKG is totally normal.

It shouldn't be, but it is.

You needed
a cardiac surgery consult?

Yeah. Where's Scott?

He's busy. Sent me.

Dr. Alexander?

Okay. We have a seemingly
healthy young female.

She fainted twice,
went into v-tach,

but now her EKG looks normal.

I agree.

Any other symptoms?

Yeah, anxiety.
Probably pre-existing.

I have a list of anti-anxiety
medications that she's on.

Okay.

And her husband mentioned
she's been having nightmares.

Nightmares?

Trouble sleeping.

You have an idea?

Yeah, I... I do.

Yeah.

So, ma, you have everything
you need

for your trip tomorrow?

Is that all
you're thinking about?

Getting rid of me?

No.

No.

Just... Lynn and the twins

really loved having you here.

That's because kids
respond to discipline,

not that Janet would know.

Stop! Stop!

Why do you have to be so...
So critical about my wife?

About my kids? About me?

I'm the one who found the save
for the old man.

I'm the hero!

Stop yelling.

It makes your face turn red.

There you go again.

Why are you like that?

You're so content to just be.

You're my son.

You're supposed to be better.

Better?

I'm a doctor.

I'm... no, I'm the chief
of the E.R.

At a major trauma center.

I was an army ranger.

I have not one,

but three beautiful,
intelligent daughters

and an incredible wife,
who, I'm going to tell you,

finds you as aggravating
as I do.

How can you say that

To your mother?
I raised you.

You...
You terrorized me.

And you're...
You're still doing it.

Nothing is ever good enough
for you.

I can't... I can't win.

I'm not going to... I'm not
going to take it anymore.

I mean, seriously, what'd
you ever do with your life?

Mom. Mom.

Hey. Thought you had
the night off.

Yeah, so did I.

An elderly patient
with hypotension,

svt, converted on scene.

Got to get him
to the Cath lab, stat.

Okay, I'll get somebody to...

Hey, I got this.

You ever known me
to pass off a patient?

- Nice to meet you, Sam.
- See you around.

So when was the last time
you had a drink?

I don't drink.

Yeah. Dr. Alister said
that your blood alcohol test

did come back negative,
but I'm going to ask you again,

when was the last time
you had a drink?

You puked up blood,
Jorge. You know why?

Because you got
ruptured varicose veins

in your esophagus.

They're called varices.

It's the result of drinking.
A lot of drinking.

Your shaking, your paranoia,
your delusions...

These are all symptoms
of delirium tremens,

which is a severe form
of alcohol withdrawal.

I'm sober.

Hey, we're trying
to help you here.

Okay?
Just tell us the truth.

I... I wanted to be clean
for her wedding.

I thought I could do it, man.

The last drink I had was
on the plane, I swear.

Okay.

All right, man.
That's good.

Admitting it is a good start.

And you can't stop
like that again, though.

You saw what happens.
Next time, it could be worse.

My daughter...

She saw me getting restrained,
didn't she?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Could one of you ask if I could
see her for a minute?

- Yeah.
- Of course.

Hello?

I'm a man, I'm a doctor,
and I'm looking for my mother.

I'm coming in.

Mom,
I... I'm really sorry.

I don't know why
I said that stuff.

I wasn't always nothing,
you know?

I know. I know.

You worked your ass off
at those restaurants.

I should be more grateful.

I was an engineer.

What?

Yes. I went to school
in Hong Kong

before you were born
to be an engineer.

Are you serious?

Yes.

We moved to the United States.

And it was hard.

The language.

And then your father died.

And I had to give it all up

to work at that crappy
dragon palace,

just to keep you
and your sister alive.

Do you think I liked that?

Who knows what I could've done.

Why didn't you tell me
that before, mom?

Because... It was my job
to make sure

you were given every opportunity
to do great things...

the things that I couldn't do.

And you did them.

And I am proud of you.

Can... can I hug you,
mom?

I know it's... It's weird,
and we don't really do that.

Kryztal, you have something
called brugada syndrome.

It explains why you're fainting

and why your heart
almost stopped.

It was actually the nightmares
that tipped me off.

It's a symptom.

It's an electrical problem
in your heart

that could cause
sudden cardiac death

if not treated.

So what do we do?
Is there a cure?

Yes. We treat it with
an implantable defibrillator.

You have to attach this
to my heart.

Is there another way?

I'm afraid there isn't.

And if we don't do this,

you could go into cardiac arrest
at any time.

Also, I think you should know

that there's a genetic component
to brugada syndrome.

It's... it's inherited.

And your father has
the condition, as well.

Kryztal, look, I know
that you're hurting,

and you're scared.

But your father is, too,

and he would really like
to see you.

Yeah.

Well, too bad.

On top of being a drunk
and ruining my past,

my dad's also ruined my future.

I never want to see him again.

Hey, I wouldn't jump
on that tuna sandwich.

It's been there
since bush was president.

Oh, that's gross.

Yeah.

So, I... I hear your night

of fun and debauchery got cut short.

Nothing says debauchery
like a casino

full of 80-year-olds
with air tanks and walkers.

Yeah.

Poor Toph.

His mom is really
driving him crazy.

- Yeah, she's still on his case?
- Nonstop.

Yeah.
How's your bride doing?

Well, she's on her way
to the O.R.

Instead of her honeymoon.

That's a big change of plans.

For better or worse, right?

Yeah.

See, that's where we were smart.

We spread our worst out
over eight years.

Yeah, we did.

But there was
a lot of good, too.

I really do want you
to be happy.

I want the same for you.

Hey.
Cardiology called.

The old guy only wants the doc
that dunked him in the water.

Okay.
I'll be right there.

I'm not even going to ask.

Yeah. Don't.

Okay.
One tuna sandwich.

Oh, you're not really
going to buy that, are you?

Oh, no, just making sure
nobody else does.

- Hey.
- Hi.

How you feeling?

Just tell me how I'm doing.

Don't be a pussy.
Spit it out.

You're going to need
open-heart surgery.

Let's do it.

Yeah. The problem is that
your heart stopped twice

during the Cath procedure, so...

You need the operation,

but you're probably not
going to survive it.

Yeah.

You got any... Friends
or family I can call?

All my friends, they're dead.

Family, never had one.

I was too busy...
Trying to get laid.

Don't look at me like that.

When I was your age, I was
better-looking than you

and I could kick your ass
with my eyes closed.

Oh, yeah.

I believe it.

Oh, man.
Holy cow.

You stay for awhile?

Sure.

I'll stay as long as you want.

Doctor, hold on.

Can I talk to him?

He's already sedated
for surgery.

Sorry.

Oh.

Go.

He looks so small... so worn.

You think I'm a terrible
person, don't you,

for not wanting to speak to him?

I think I have no right
to judge anybody on anything.

Hey.

Hey.

How's Jorge?

Not great.

Drew, I'm sorry about earlier.

I wasn't as sensitive to you
as I should've been.

No. I... You were
just trying to help.

Yeah, but you just got back
and...

Jordan, I know the hell
you went through

with T.C.
When he first came back.

- I'm sorry.
- It's okay.

Forget it.

This wasn't about me
coming back too soon.

This case just brought up
some other stuff

that I didn't want to admit to.

Like what?

I haven't told my parents
I'm back.

It's their 40th anniversary.
I'm supposed to go.

But I can't,
'cause I'm too scared

to tell 'em that Rick
and I got married.

Um... But they know
you're out, right?

Yeah.

See, growing up, my dad and I
used to be best friends.

We watched games together,
went to games together,

we played every sport.

We did everything together.

And then when I came out to him,

it's like he couldn't talk
to me anymore.

Honey, I'm so sorry.

It's the same
Steelers game, right?

I mean, what's the difference?

But to him, it had all changed.

So I figure
if I don't say anything,

maybe for a year or two...
You know,

maybe there's
that glimmer of hope.

Even if it's just 1% that...

he'll change and then things

can go back to the way
they used to be.

Drew, you know, your...
Your dad's getting older.

And how are you going to feel

if you don't get the chance
to talk to him?

He's crashing.
Get the crash cart now.

Look, I don't care if you
dated T.C. Or Dr. Clemmens.

Believe it or not, I may
have dated other women

before I went out with you.

- Hmm.
- Hmm.

I'm just saying that
some guys have a hard time

working with other guys
that have dated the woman

that they may or may not
be interested in.

Well, I'm not like
those other guys.

That's good.

And I'm definitely interested
in a woman

they may have dated.

In fact, I'd love to make her

a gourmet breakfast
this morning.

Oh?
A gourmet breakfast?

Hmm. How many times
have you used that line?

Oh, this is the first time.

- I swear.
- Uh-huh.

So what do you say?

Truffle omelet at my place
around 9:00?

Why don't you make it
8:45?

Dr. Alexander to recovery.

He was always the best
at everything.

You brought your mom.

You've been avoiding that
all month.

Yeah, what the hell?
Let her brag about her boy.

You know, I have to say,

it all turned out
pretty damn good.

We had a conversation.

I mean, I'm still glad
she's leaving,

but that conversation,

it opened up a whole new side
of our relationship.

By the way, how's...
How's the old man?

Clive?
He's all patched up.

He'll probably be back
at the casino in a week.

Cemetery... 3-6 months.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Yeah. Don't be.

He, uh, had an amazing life.

He gets to go out
the way he wants.

That's all we can ask for,
right?

Hey, the shift's about to end,
guys.

Remember what we talked about...
"ethey artypay orfay ewdray."

- What'd she say?
- I have no idea.

The welcome home party for drew.
Let's go.

Why... why didn't you
just say that?

Took us a little bit
longer than expected,

but your surgery went well,

and you should be feeling
like yourself in no time.

So the nightmare wedding
saved your life.

See? I knew
I was right marrying you.

And how was my dad's surgery?

The surgeons got into his heart

and the years of alcohol
had already destroyed it.

He's gone.

I'm so sorry, Kryztal.

Dad, hey.

Yeah, it's me.

Yeah, no, I know.
I just wanted to...

Right.

Dad, just... Yeah,
I just called,

'cause there's something
I need to tell you.

Drew?

Drew?

Hey.

I called my dad.

Okay.
How'd it go?

Oh, sweetie.
It's okay.

Come here.

- Surprise!
- Surprise!

- Aw.
- Sorry. Sorry.

I was... I was running late.

- Where's drew?
- Who knows?

But I'm starving,
so I'm not waiting.

But first, I... I'd like
to make a toast to my mom.

Thank you for reminding me what
it takes to be a great parent,

dedication to your family, and
putting them above all else.

To you, mom.

- Cheers.
- Thank you.

- Hear, hear.
- Cheers.

Mama Toph.
Speech.

Okay, well...

I've always known that
Christopher was the best

and brightest, but to hear
from his colleagues...

- He is.
- He's amazing.

It just helps me know that
I've made the right decision.

I'm so proud of my son Don't.

That I'm coming to live
with him permanently.

- Wow.
- Congratulations.

- Yeah.
- Good to have family around.

Son of a bitch.

Yeah.

She planned it.

Yeah.

She did it in front of everyone,

'cause she knew
I couldn't refuse.

She used all of us as a buffer.

- She played me, she played me.
- Yeah.

Nice catch tonight, Paul.

Like you said,
you're a leader by example.

- Surprise!
- Surprise!

Okay, I would like
to propose a toast, actually.

To having our family
back together again.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Uh, thank you.

You have... No idea
how much I needed this.

So thank you so much.

- Come on, come on, come on.
- Thank you.
