This Close (2018–…): Season 2, Episode 1 - Look Both Ways - full transcript
Kate and Micheal's friendship is strained. While waiting at the hospital Kate gets into a fight with the Ryan and Danny over Micheal. The tension is heightened by the hospital's lack of knowledge about how to care for deaf patients.
Sir, can you hear me? Sir!
Sir, do you know
what's happening?
He's deaf.
Are you in pain?
- He's deaf.
- Ma'am, please back away.
I'm just trying
to tell her that he...
Michael.
What happened?
Don't move your arm.
It looks like
it's the collarbone.
Grab the stretcher!
Are you his partner?
- Yes, I'm his wife.
- No.
I'm his husband.
That's not legal.
Whatever you two are,
only one of you can climb in.
Kate,
do you wanna go?
Really?
I mean, obviously you wanna go.
Go ahead.
You're
his best friend.
You've been inside him.
I have not, so...
Come on, people.
Who's going?
Me.
I'm gonna have to check
his hips.
Tell him I'm
cutting off his jeans.
Kate!
Hey, hey, Kate!
Kate, hey, hey!
Hey.
Is... Is he okay?
I don't know.
I think so.
Okay. Um...
I love you.
Hi. I'm looking
for Michael Rosen.
Sorry?
Michael...
Yeah.
Uh, sorry. We're looking for our
friend, Michael Rosen.
Your friend
is in room 208.
Um, room 208.
I know.
I'm here for you.
- Whoa.
- No, don't look.
I said don't look.
I-I'm fine. That...
That was one time.
It was a lot more
than one time.
Um, I better go.
Wait.
Hey.
Just let me come with you.
I can help translate.
Oh.
Yeah. I-I wanna help.
Well, I have an app,
and I did the flashcard...
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Fuck.
Oh, good.
Is that for the pain?
Oh, sorry. We have to wait 'til
his blood alcohol level goes down
before we could administer
anything beyond fluids.
Oh, he's deaf.
Yeah.
Well, we need to get
some tests done,
but we're pretty sure
it's the collarbone.
And that
could mean surgery.
Are you
his legal partner?
It's family only
in the ICU and recovery,
but, you know, I'm cool to give
you a few minutes together.
But Ricardo's on next,
and he's a dick.
Okay. Thank you.
Can I say
I told you so?
Look, I know that I need
to sign better.
The... The app just
wasn't enough, okay?
I'll download another app.
I'll download more apps.
I'll do it right now.
Oh, wait. Oh.
Excuse me. Do you know
the Wi-Fi password?
I think you
have a concussion.
Nah, I don't...
Oh, ma'am.
Sorry. Uh, the password
to the Wi-Fi?
She's a doctor,
so she's a little busy.
Should just post it
on the wall or something.
Can you just please
forget... forget the app?
Yeah. Okay.
I'm sorry I haven't been
trying the way you want me to.
I don't want to break up.
I'm not sure
I do either.
It's just not...
I need to check
on Michael.
No, no, no, no.
Just stay here.
I'll be back, okay?
I promise.
Dr. Forrest, dial 183.
Dr. Forrest...
No. I looked, but...
Okay.
No, no, no. He's...
He's sleeping, so...
Maybe just wait
a little bit.
Kate, you are
not his family.
Hey, Kate,
why is it
he got hit by a car
and you didn't?
Need me to pray
for anybody?
I got time.
Thanks.
What?
Stop moving.
Hou
just lose someone?
Sir, he was moved.
He's not lost.
Okay, but nobody
can tell us where he is.
I understand that,
and I'm just waiting on my colleagues...
- This is bullshit.
- Okay.
They don't know
anything.
Is there a note in his
file that says he's deaf?
And where is
the interpreter?
I've made all
the appropriate calls, ma'am,
so if you guys can just
go have a seat over there.
Why is this taking
so fucking long?
Because
it costs double
to get an interpreter at
this time of the night,
so they're
probably waiting.
Are you kidding me?
If you don't get an
interpreter here soon,
I'm gonna have
to call the ACLU.
This is a violation
of his civil rights.
Do not threaten me, ma'am.
Oh, it's not a threat.
Take it off!
Hey.
Where were you?
Sorry. Sorry.
Uh, no, no, I...
It's for, um...
No, I'm kidding.
Feel better.
I'm... I'm gonna go home.
He's too good for her
anyway, so...
It's after visiting hours.
Family only.
Time to go.
Okay, go get yourself
a cup of coffee.
When you come back,
we'll be family.
Whatever, man.
Hey, hey, wait. Wait.
Hey, hey. Wait.
Would you please...
Would you
please just wait?
That is literally
what I've been doing all night.
I've been sitting downstairs,
waiting for you for over an hour.
And I know I'm blah
or whatever, but...
Look, I'm...
I'm sorry I didn't come down earlier.
No, you forgot me.
We lost Michael,
and I had to...
Yes! Exactly, see?
Kate, I'm done.
Are you
breaking up with me
after I broke up
with you?
I can't keep coming
in second to Michael.
Are you for real making
this about Michael?
Yes! Look,
I knew the two of you were close,
but your friendship
is fucking weird!
What?
It's weird.
Like, weird.
You understand that? Weird?
It's not weird.
Oh, yes, it is.
It's the weirdest thing
I've ever fucking seen,
because you would do
anything and everything
for him at any time,
and he would never do
the same thing for you.
That's not true.
- You're wrong.
- Yeah? Yeah?
Okay, you call me
when you realize I'm right.
Call you? Wow.
Fuck you.
So fucking text me.
Whatever.
Ready or not.
Are we ready
to do this?
Yep.
Will you please
tell Michael that I
am honored to
perform this ceremony
and that I come to
him full of openness
and grace and love
and all that stuff?
Yes. Uh, he can
lip-read you.
Oh. Sorry.
Then I'm sorry about that.
Hope that was not
completely offensive.
Um, so we are
gathered here
to bring together
Ryan and Michael.
Do you guys have some...
You have some love vows,
maybe, you'd like to
share, something?
Oh, um...
Uh, we can come up
with something.
Perfect.
Maybe we just say whatever
pops into our heads.
- Okay?
- That's good.
- Okay?
- I like it.
Who's gonna
shoot first?
Um, me.
I just...
I keep thinking
about your socks.
Yeah.
I kept finding
your socks
in, like,
weird corners...
for months
after you left.
And, um... and now
I get to ask you
for the rest
of our lives,
why can't you just throw
them in the damn hamper?
No, no, no, no!
Don't... Don't do that!
That... Save that.
Save the kiss.
Sorry.
Didn't mean to yell.
It's okay.
Your turn.
Great.
Now by the power vested
in me by woman and God,
whose love
knows no boundaries
and whose patience
is infinite,
I now pronounce you
husband and husband.
We're married.
Sir, do you know
what's happening?
He's deaf.
Are you in pain?
- He's deaf.
- Ma'am, please back away.
I'm just trying
to tell her that he...

Sorry?
Michael...
Yeah.
Uh, sorry. We're looking for our

is in room 208.
Um, room 208.
