Three Rivers (2009–2010): Season 1, Episode 13 - Status 1A - full transcript

Andy puts his patient Kuol at the top of the donor list to receive a new heart after his condition takes a turn for the worse. However, his transplant is put in jeopardy when the cops threaten to seize the money that was raised for Kuo's surgery.

I don't see nothin Sarge.

Two suspected insurgents were
spotted here 20 minutes ago.

They took off when
they saw the drone overhead.

What do you think it is
they were doing?

Catching up on old times.

Planting an IED I guess.

Yeah. Where do you guess it is?

That dirt over there, it's dark
like it was just turned over.

Sarge, wouldn't this be a good time

to be wearing bomb suits?

Only if it goes off.



Holy moly.

Got an artillery shell,
definitely a bomb.

Talk to me, Crockett.

Dazzle me with your
wisdom and insight.

Uh, the bad guys could've
buried the wires

and strung 'em down a ways.

But if they took off
when they saw the drone,

they probably didn't
have enough time,

so either the bomb isn't armed

or the detonator's
in here with it.

Got something here, Sarge.

This is Alpha two.

we got a hot one--

cell-phone activated.



Keep your head on a swivel.

What's your plan?

I need to gator clip a bypass

from the red to white wire.

That detonator's rigged
to a mercury switch,

so try not to move it.

Parker, what's your 20?

Standing by at the vehicle.

Any activity?

Negative.

Belay my last. Affirmative.

Girl on a moped.

She sees us. She's slowing down.

How's it going with that bypass?

I'm having a tough time
stripping the wire

without moving anything.

She's got a phone!

She's got a cell phone!

Tell her to drop it right now!

Don't look at me!

Bridge that wire!

Put down the phone or I'll shoot!

Damn it!
Keep going!

Do the bypass!

Do it now!

Congratulations!

Everyone within 50 meters
is dead.

I'm sorry, it got crazy.

I got distracted.

Distracted?!
What do you think

it's going to be like
out there in the field?

There's going to be more chaos
than you ever imagined.

You need to stay focused
at all times!

I know.
No, you don't!

Your brothers are
depending on you.

You bring that level of game,

they all end up in body bags,
you got that?

You get that through
your thick skull?

Sarge, you okay?

Get out of my sight.

I'm fine.

Hospital visitor Stuart Scott,
please meet your party...

Andrew, thank you
for doing this.

No problem, Luc.

Is she your first patient

since you took on Dr.
Robinson's caseload?

Yes. Yes.

And I thought it might be helpful

if you could introduce me to her.

Look at you, trying to see
patients as people,

instead of test subjects.

It's adorable.

You been brushing up on
your bedside manner, too?

I just wish I had a bedside
manner to brush up on.

Hi, Dorothy.
I'm Dr. Yablonski.

Yeah, I remember.

How are you?

My heart's crapping out
from the cardiomyopathy,

and I'm back here again.

You tell me.

We're going to sort
that out, all right?

Now, Dr. Robinson is on leave,

so Dr. Bovell here

is going to be treating you.

He's an excellent physician,

so you'll be in great hands, okay?

If you say so.

I do.

So, Ms. Cooper.

How are you?

He just asked me that.

Kuol.

If you're trying to
achieve inner peace,

I'd pick a different room.

There's a lot of despair in here.

Kuol?

Can you hear me, Kuol?

Nurse! Nurse!

I need a gurney in here now.
Yes, doctor.

Andy...
Kuol.

I could hear you,
but I couldn't speak.

Or move my body.

What is happening to me?

It's okay, Kuol.

It's going to be okay.

♪ Tired of walkin' ♪

♪ tired of sleep ♪

♪ the earth is burnin' ♪

♪ and my tape deck eats
the cassingles ♪

♪ I found in a warehouse... ♪

today, I attempt to jump
over not ten,

not 12, but 13 cars.

This is it.

This is my Waterloo.

Wait, is that, is that right?

My Waterloo?
No.

Your "waterloo" is your defeat.

This is your crucible.

"Crucible." That...

Would I even say that?
Your crucible.

Your ultimate test.

Why can't I just say
"my ultimate test"?

'Cause you said that last time.

I'm just trying to mix it up
a little here, man.

Whatever, let's just shoot.

Okay, ready.

This is it-- my ultimate test.

Crucible...

Yeah! Whoo! Whoo!

The moment is at hand.

This is Roger's partner
in crime, Craig Dirkin,

bringin' it to you...
All the way.

To recap for all you
Internet fans out there,

Roger's last jump
was two weeks ago,

when he and Melissa tried
to clear ten cars.

Now that Roger's tailbone
is all healed up,

he's all set to face
his latest challenge--

his crucible--

a jump over 13 cars.

Now, some of you may say,

"well, Rodge didn't make ten
cars, so why's he gonna try 13""

thirteen...

Is his lucky number.

Anyways, the burning
question at hand is:

What is going to propel Rodge
over 13 cars

besides raw courage

and a little Humboldt gold?

A rocketooster.

It'll provide him the extra thrust

to propel him to greatness.

This one's for you, ma!

His battle cry.
And so it begins.

Roger Banks about to attempt a feat

never before attempted.

Great start off the line.

As he approaches the ramp,

he will activate the booster.

Whoa!

Uh...

Houston, we have a minor malfunction.

Whoa.

Check that out.

Uh-oh.

♫ Three Rivers 1x13 ♫
Status 1A
Original Air Date on July 3, 2010

Craig Dirkin has gone
to meet his final destination.

The rocket that felled him
lies far away

in a field of trash, laughing.

Claiming victory
over this brave soul--

Craig Dirkin.

Oh, wait, hey--
are we getting out now?

Okay, let's get him inside.

Get him in.
Let's get him in.

Knoxville General.

We meet again.

Give me the bullet.

25-year-old male, motorcycle
stunt accident.

Head, neck, chest trauma,

altered mental status, GCS 12.

BP 110/60, pulse 120,

resps 30, pulse ox 95
on five liters.

And multiple lacerations and burns
on his neck and shoulder.

Was he driving the motorcycle
with his face?

No, no, he wasn't driving,
I was.

He's my, uh, videographer,
Craig Dirkin.

Okay.

How'd your friend get these burns?

He got hit by a rocket.

A rocket?

Yeah. The Defiler 3000.

Just, like, blew right off my bike.

It's actually right here
on video, if you want--

you know what?
I get the picture.

You need to stop filming in here.

Dude, no way.

Craig would've wanted his
last moments on videotape.

No one's saying these
are his last moments.

Doc, you don't have
to lie to me, okay?

I'm going to do this in his honor

as my final tribute.

Dude?

Dude!

It's a miracle.

Craig has just risen
from death's jaws.

What do we got?
Male, 52-year-old,

collapsed after a military
training exercise.

Blood pressure: 250/150,
pulse 120, resps 20.

He was complaining of chest pressure
and severe headache.

Gave him two nitro sprays
and five of morphine,

but it didn't touch the BP.

Medical records?
The army's faxing 'em over.

All right, one, two...

Three.

Sir, what's your name?

Do you know your name?

Do you know what day it is?

No.

We need a neurology consult

and a priority-one head CT.

Hang a nipride drip.

Send off a CBC, cardiac panel,

let's get an EKG and
chest X-ray as well.

He's seizing!

All right, Ativan,

one milligram I.V. push.

Thank you all for making this
meeting on such short notice.

In case you haven't heard,

Kuol experienced transient
neurological deficit.

When?

A couple of hours ago.

Looks like a small blood clot
in his brain

caused a ministroke.

The CT shows no damage

and he seems to have
recovered full function.

But his blood work shows

he's in a hypercoagulable state.

Well, that explains the stroke.

What's causing this-- infection?

We're still running some more tests.

Look, I thought the VAD
would buy him more time.

But now he needs a new heart,

and he needs one soon.

Bottom line:
I want to up his status to 1a.

A hypercoagulable state

can indicate cancer.

Maybe we should
make sure he's clear

before we change his status.

This patient's in a dire situation.

The sooner he's listed
as status 1a, the better.

If he has cancer,
we'll deal with it then.

That's right.

Kuol's out of options.

We need to move fast on this.

I think the issues are clear.

All in favor
of making Kuol status 1a?

Thank you.

Andy?

How is he taking this?

I haven't told him.

Mr. Estes.

Hello. I am Dr. Jordan.

Call me Sarge.

Military. What branch?

Army.

E.O.D. that stands for...

Explosive ordinance disposal.

You are looking

at the daughter of a gunnery sergeant.

Oh, lord, I'm in trouble.

Well, not unless

you start shooting your mouth
off about the Marines.

Mmm, so, uh,
what's wrong with me?

Our tests show your body
has stopped making urine.

Well, maybe
I'm not drinking enough water.

Gotta get in the habit anyway.

I'm heading back to Afghanistan.

I'm not so sure about that.

Your high blood pressure

has done extensive damage
to your kidneys,

and your potassium level
is high,

which is causing a heart arrhythmia.

I'm on medication
for the blood pressure.

I don't know why
that's a problem.

I don't know, either;
But until we can figure it out,

we need to put you on dialysis.

Dialys-- uh, uh, for how long?

However long it takes
to turn this thing around.

No, no, look, uh,
I can't be on dialysis.

I got a bunch of kids that
are heading into a war zone.

I need to finish training them.

Well, I'm sure
the army can find somebody

to fill in while you recuperate.

Well, you're wrong.
I'm responsible for these boys'

lives, and they're responsible
for the lives of our troops.

Okay, sergeant,
you need to calm down.

My men are deploying
in two weeks,

and I will be with them.

You understand, doctor? Huh?

Do you understand?

Craig, dude,
tell the fans how you are, man.

I'm...

Oh, man...

You're okay?

Right? Like, give 'em
a thumbs up or something.

My chest...

Can't... I can't breathe.

Oh, dude. Dude!

Pulse ox?

Down to 89,
pulse up to 125,

sinus tachycardia;
Resps are 32 and labored.

Okay, cyanosis of

the lips and the fingertips.

Wh-what does that mean?

You need to step back, please.

Okay, decreased breath
sounds on the right

with neck distension and
a tracheal shift to the left.

He's got
an acute tension pneumothorax.

Get me a 14 gauge.

Anesthesia?
No.

No time.
I'm going in at

the second intercostal
space, midline.

Here we go.

Three, two, one...

Whoa.

I don't even feel sick.

It's as if nothing happened.

I know, but the tests show

you have a condition called
factor 5 Leiden syndrome.

It sounds like something
from Star Trek.

What it means is, your blood
tends to clot too much,

it soundsand that's bad, because
fromclots can create a blockage.

Such a blockage
caused my stroke?

That's right.

We need to control your clotting,

and then get you a heart.

So, my VAD is no longer working?

It's working fine,
but the problem is,

the VAD is a foreign object
in your body,

and it can become a locus for clots.

And thin your blood.

I see from your face,
it is not so simple.

No, it isn't.

There are risks involved
with using blood thinners.

They can create

bleeding in your brain, which is
where you had the mini-stroke,

so we need
to introduce them slowly.

In the meantime,
I could have another stroke.

One that could kill me.

And this could occur
at any moment.

Yes.

How are you doing?

My chest stopped hurting.

Finally.

Morphine will do that for you.

Where's Roger?

Is he okay?

I'm afraid not.

When Roger fainted,

he hit his head on the gurney

and sustained a lethal head injury.

L-lethal?

You mean, like, it could kill him?

It has.

He's been declared brain dead.

No... no way, man.

I've seen Roger fall off a
roof and hit cement, okay?

He skated
into oncoming traffic one time.

Got thrown 30 feet in the air.

He would have walked away
from that,

except he broke both legs.

He can't...

He can't be dead.

Not from something this lame.

I am sorry.

If you need anything, ask.

Otherwise,
try and get some rest, okay?

Hey, doc...

...I'm gonna need
that video camera.

After much reflection,
I have made a vow.

I will have no more strokes.

I think that's a great call.

It's gonna make my job
a lot easier.

I believe
this is yet another challenge

we will overcome together.

Sounds good.

Okay, his clotting
numbers aren't moving.

Let's increase his Coumadin
from five to seven migs.

Got it.

How bad is it, Andy?

We need to get that VAD out
and transplant him.

But if we don't fix
his clotting issue...

...He'll stroke out
before a heart ever shows up.

Dr. Weiss, please report
to Radiology.

Dr. Weiss to Radiology.

Dr. Yablonski?

That's right.

Detective Sandefur, Pittsburgh P.D.
I'd like a word.

Can this wait? I'm kind of in
the middle of things right now.

Let's talk in here.

This is quite a place.

You've come a long way
since Mt. Washington.

You put me in this room

so everybody could see
I'm in here with a cop.

Wow.

I'm intimidated.
You know why I'm here?

Your parents engaged

in an act of love,
and then, nine months later...

This is about
your slime-bag Uncle, wise ass.

Michael Zelasko.

He's the focus
of a criminal investigation.

We know
you had contact with him.

Is that against the law now?
No.

But loan sharking is.

So is theft and racketeering.

Come on, I don't know
anything about that stuff.

He gave 130k
to a fund for that Sudanese kid.

So?

So the money's dirty.

I can get a court order
to seize it, and I will.

My patient needs that money
for a heart transplant.

I don't care.

I don't care that you're married to Rena,

I don't care that you patched up
Phil Lombardi.

None of that means jack to me.

Do I lock up the money, or
are you gonna cooperate with me?

I need an answer.

You want me to rat out my Uncle?

I'm gonna need a little time
to think about that.

Don't take too long.

I'll be back.

Are you feeling
a little better, Sarge?

Well, I'll feel better when
I'm not hooked up to a machine.

Well, the dialysis seems
to be working.

But we still don't know why
your blood pressure's spiking.

Am I going to be able
to get back to work?

Not until we figure this out.

I owe you an apology
for the way I acted before.

I don't know what came over me.

You're under a lot of pressure,

and you don't feel good.

Honestly, the last six months,

this has been happening
more and more.

I have these sudden bouts
of anger.

Have you suffered a head trauma
in the last year?

Concussion?

Um... nothing like that.

A lot of headaches, though.

Hmm. I'm going
to order a CT scan.

Let's see if you're having
neurological issues.

What, like a brain tumor?

I'm not going to speculate.

Let's just see if we find anything.

Hey.

Hey. How's Kuol?

Oh, he's, uh, still the same.

Listen, Sophia...

Sophia. That's a sure sign
you want something.

That 150 grand that we
have raised for Kuol--

it's being held by our foundation, right?

And you're one of the trustees?

Oh, I don't like the sound of this.

The cops are threatening to seize the money.
Seize it?!

If they do, he'll be dropped from the transplant list.
I know.

Did he do something wrong?

No, absolutely not.

This is because of me.

Do I need to know about this?
No.

It's a long story.
Listen, the point is,

I need you to protect that money.

Transfer it to another account, something.

I don't have the authority to do that.

The trustees make decisions as a group.

Can you talk to them?

I'll see what I can do.

Hey, hey, wait up.

Wait up.
Ryan! Ryan!

Has a heart...
Heart come in for Kuol?

Kind of.

What do you mean,
"kind of," Ryan?

Kuol's back-up.

Okay. Who's the primary?

All the donor information
is electronic.

I must say, Brian,
this is extraordinary.

It's Ryan.

It's a marvelous heart.

I'll take it.

Mind if we discuss that first?

I'm accepting a heart
for Dorothy Cooper.

What's there

to discuss?

I'm gonna go hustle up
a procurement team.

You know you have the
option to pass on this heart

and let it go to Kuol, right?

Have you ever done that?

Yes, I have.

When there's been a patient
in greater need.

Dorothy is higher on the list.

Yeah.

Only because
she's been on it longer.

You know Kuol's situation.
He's in much worse shape.

Let's not split hairs here,
Andrew-- she's status 1a.

She needs a transplant.
She can wait.

The inotropes are working.
She could go for months.

She's a difficult match,
with antibodies to a broad range

of HIA antigens.

If I pass now,
another compatible heart

may not come along.

He could throw a clot

while we're standing here.

You told Dorothy
she's in good hands.

And she is.

This heart belongs to her
and she's going to get it.

Where's Miranda?

She said she's meeting us
at the helipad.

What is with you and that
thing-- are you obsessed?

I'm monitoring a couple
situations, seeing if a heart

comes in for Kuol.
We've gotta do something,

or he's not going to make it.

There's nothing we can do.

We have to accept
whatever's coming.

I-I'm sorry, what is that?

Some kind of Zen BS to try
to distance yourself from Kuol?

You care about him
as much as we do.

That's right, Ryan, I do.

Let's go.

These are the doctors

who will help Roger

achieve his dream of
becoming an organ donor.

I asked him once, "Roger,
why would you tempt fate

"by signing up as a donor?"

Roger said,
"that's just me, man.

"I'm all about the karma

and the little guy
and being awesome""

and he was.

Hey, look, I'm sorry,
you can't be in here.

Oh, no, it's okay,
my friend's in there.

It's just, I'm just filming
a video tribute of him.

Yeah, but still, you're
not allowed in the O.R.

Especially with a camera.

I'm sorry.
Oh, okay.

Uh, well, can I interview you?

About what?
About Roger.

I didn't know him.
No, no, it's okay.

You can just say anything, you
know, you're gonna be, like,

the last person to see him,
you should say something.

All right, um,

your friend, Roger, yeah?

Uh, he's going to save
some lives tonight.

Which is a really good thing.

Uh, keep going?

By him becoming an organ donor
makes me think

that he was probably
a really good guy, okay?

Good.

And thus...

The circle of life is complete.

Roger.

I don't see any brain tumor.

Me, neither, but I do
see something here

I don't quite understand.

What is that,

a growth on the eye?
Looks like.

We need to get a biopsy on that.

He's seizing!
Again?

Roll him on his side.

Get me ativan, one
milligram, I.V. push.

Mr. Estes? Sarge?

Sarge, hang in there.

I'm right here with you.

Two of the trustees
are on vacation.

I wasn't able to get an
answer on Kuol's money.

Thanks for trying.

After all he's been through,

I, uh, I don't think
he's gonna make it.

It's the first time I've felt this way.

How do you deal with it?

You need balance, Andy.

A life outside of this hospital.

Someone to love.

Someone to hold you
when you cry.

Who's that for you?

I said you need balance;
I didn't say I had it.

No one?

Not since Dr. Foster?

We're veering off course here.

I'm-I'm-I'm just surprised,
that's all.

You know I have my work.

That's enough, most of the time.

Maybe you should take
your own advice.

I'm gonna talk to you later.

Mrs. Rodriguez
to volunteer services.

Mrs. Rodriguez
to volunteer services please.

Excuse me?

Oh, man, it's you!

How you doin'?
I'm fine.

How can I help you?
Yeah, I came to see

the person who got
Roger's heart.

You know, to like,
put them in the film.

Hoping to upload

to Youtube tomorrow.
Well, I'm sorry,

but I don't think you're
going to be able to see her.

She's not up for seeing
visitors right now,

especially people
she doesn't know.

But I'm Roger's bud--
I'm pretty sure she'll want to meet me.

And I understand, but that
is a personal decision,

and one she may not be
up for making right now.

Um, can you ask her?
Please?

I just want to finish
the film and, you know,

like, get on with my life.

All right, wait here.

Sweet.

I think I know what's going
on with your blood pressure.

You have a rare genetic disorder

called Von Hippel-Lindau
Syndrome.

It causes the growth
of small, benign tumors,

like the one we found on your
right eye during your CT scan.

Von Hippel-- what's that got
to do with my blood pressure?

Well, 20 percent of VHL patients
have pheochromocytomas.

That's a different kind of tumor

that secretes
large amounts of adrenalin.

It overstimulates
the fight or flight instinct,

which brings on
malignant hypertension.

It can also cause angry,
sometimes violent outbursts.

And I've got one of these...

Pheochromocytomas--
Yes, you do,

on your adrenal gland.

But once we remove it,
your blood pressure

and your kidney function
should return to normal.

It's a risky surgery.

Manipulating the tumor can cause

a surge of adrenaline
and a dangerous spike

to your blood pressure.

We have to pre-medicate you,

which means
when the tumor's removed,

there is the possibility
of a crash.

It's a balancing act,

but we don't have another choice.

Well, I've stared down a lot
of bombs in my day, doctor.

I bet you have, too.

So, let's go.

Hey.

Pam said you wanted
to see to me.

You remember the vow I made?

No more strokes.

I don't think I can keep it.

Andy, I want you to take this.

What is it?
A letter

to my Omaha family.

Some thoughts on how to dispose
of what few belongings I have,

names and addresses
of my relatives

in Sudan who should be told.

I'll tell you what.

Why don't you hang on
to this for awhile?

It's time.

You don't know that.

Did I ever tell you
about my friend Lam?

Yeah.
The guy you traveled with

to the refugee camp
in Ethiopia.

We walked for weeks,

hiding from soldiers
who wished to kill us.

Starving.

Living on whatever we could.

Lam was never quiet when
we walked, but this day he was.

I asked him why.

"I'm going to die," he said.

I tried to tell him the many
reasons this might not be true.

I tried to make jokes.

He didn't laugh.

And that night,
we slept in the jungle.

The next morning,
I tried to wake him.

He was dead.

I don't know why.

Perhaps he was sick
and never told me.

But I now understand
how he knew.

Death is close, Andy.

I can feel it...
Hovering like a bird.

I'm not going to let you die.

That's what I told Lam.

A heart could still come in.

You have done all you can.

More than I ever dreamed possible.

You are a great friend, Andy.

We have had a grand
adventure, you and I.

I'm not going to give up.

And you can't, either.

I am at peace.

Be at peace with me.

Scopes are placed.

Locating the tumor.

There it is.
I'm going to resect.

Run of V tach.

He's having an adrenalin surge.
V fib.

Defib at 200.

Charged.

Everybody off.

He's coming back.

Hang an amiodarone drip.

Still having PVCS.

I've got to get this thing
out before he arrests.

Resecting.
Give five migs

phentolamine
at one MIG per minute.

Got it.

Tumor is out.

BP down to 90 systolic.

D/c the nipride.
He's cratering

now that the tumor's out.

Systolic down to 50.
Bolus him with saline.

Put on the pressure infuser.

Start dopamine, we can always

titrate his blood pressure back up.

Pulse is bradying down.
BP down to 36.

Damn. Give atropine,
point five migs.

An amp of epi.

Atropine in. Epi in.
BP's coming up.

Run of seven.
Push Lidocaine, 100 migs.

Okay, we are back
in sinus rhythm.

Let's get him off the table.

I'll call you if anything changes.

You should go home
and get some sleep.

I can't.

For what it's worth,
I'm praying for Kuol.

Would it make me a hypocrite
if I prayed for him, too?

We got a code blue.
Kuol?

Dorothy Cooper!

Any hearts in the pipeline?

No.

What's the situation
with Dorothy Cooper?

She had a cerebral hemorrhage.

Massive brain damage.

That heart could have saved Kuol.

Maybe.

Or maybe he would
have had post-op

problems, too.

There's never any way to know.

Ah. I was wondering
if I was going to see you today.

I thought maybe since
you figured out what was wrong,

you might have gotten bored.

Well, you made me work for it,
but the surgery was successful.

Your blood pressure is
back down to normal,

and your kidney
function is improving.

Everything goes
according to plan,

you will be discharged from
the hospital in a few days

and able to get
back to active duty.

Armed with an excuse for why

I've been in such a bad mood
all year?

Your body was so flooded
with chemicals,

it put you in panic mode.

It overrode your ability to reason.

Well, now that
I've regained that ability,

I've actually been thinking how...

30 years in the military
might be catching up with me.

In what way?

Well, it's hard

to have a life outside of the E.O.D.

Joke is, it stands for:
"Every one's divorced."

Never had kids.

Thought of my soldiers
as-as my kids,

but of course,
you know, they're not.

How about you? You have kids?

I have residents and fellows.

Staff surgeons.

Ah.

Sophia.

Yes.

Would you like
to have dinner with me?

I am your doctor, sergeant.

It's Harold, and...

...It's just dinner.

Maybe you could take off
the lab coat,

and I could put on a suit, and

we could see

what normal people are like
for one night.

You are my patient.

Not much longer.

I'm gonna come back
and check on you later.

Think about it.

Tell UNOS we'll take
any heart for Kuol.

Luc, I'm sorry about Dorothy.

Yeah. First time I treat one
of Dr. Robinson's patients,

and this is the outcome.

Not exactly an inspiring debut.

Wasn't your fault.

I saw the scan.
She had a weak vessel.

Well, in any case, uh,

maybe something positive
might come out of it.

Like what?
Well, she's brain-dead.

It's been confirmed
by two other doctors.

She's on a ventilator, Andrew.

Wait a minute.

Was she a registered donor?
Indeed, she was.

Well, technically, Kuol is still
back-up on that heart.

And the heart is still good.
Call UNOS.

Make sure they're okay with this.

Has my doctor come
to say good night?

I just saw a young man
get a new heart.

This kid, he...

He walked out of a nightmare

to get here.

Now that he has a life
to look forward to,

I know he's not going
to waste a single minute of it.

I would love to have
dinner with you.

Hmm. I'll call you...

As soon as my doctor releases me.

Good night, Harold.

Good night, Sophia.

Just the man I wanted to see.

So, you with us on this?

I can't help you.

Then that money
is as good as gone.

No. It's already gone.

It's spent on the heart
I just put in Kuol.

You just made the worst mistake
of your life.

Can you find your own way out,
or should I call security?

No, you'll be fine.

Hi.

I brought a visitor for you.

Are you Craig,

the friend of my donor?
Yeah, man.

You must be "cool," right?

Craig, remember, I told you

it's pronounced Ku-ol.

Kuol.
Yeah.

Listen, I'm gonna give you guys

some time, okay?

How you doing, man?

Uh, you look good.

I-I don't know what you

normally look like,

but for a guy who just had
a new heart put in him,

you look pretty awesome.

Yeah, I feel pretty awesome.

I wanted to show you this.
It's a...

Video tribute I made of Roger.

Roger always wanted
to do something great.

I was supposed to be there
to catch it on video.

He did something great.

He saved the lives of six people.

One of them, mine.

I will never forget him.

Thank you.

It's nice to meet you, man.

Have a good time
with Roger's heart.

Okay?

And-and if you ever want
to hang, you know, like...

Do you skate?

I mean, because we could
do a little parkour.

There's a sweet construction
site by my mom's house.

You know, we could just...

Tons of things to jump off.

I doubt I will be jumping
anytime soon.

Oh.

But I appreciate the invitation.

Okay, dude.

You're awesome, man.

Couple of people want
to celebrate your transplant.

Hello, my friends.

Hi.

Got a surprise.

Party time.

Get ready to make a wish.

It's not my birthday.
Oh, well, it kind of is.

We can't start without Dr. Jordan.

She'll fire us all, so, just...

I heard that, and I'm here.

Okay.

To Kuol.

To the great Dr. Yablonski.

And the team

from Three Rivers for giving me life.

I thank you all.

Yeah.
Yes!

So, how'd it go
with your donor's buddy?

Oh, Craig is a lovely young man.

But I have a question.

Shoot.

I've heard stories

that recipients sometimes

take the traits of their donors.

Is there any possibility
that I might...

Become a stoner idiot?

I doubt it.

If you ever

see me perched
atop a tall building

with a jet pack strapped
to me...

I will personally come
and pull you from the edge.

This heart needs to last you

a while, my friend.

And so it will.

Hey, hand it over.
Where's my piece?
