Transplant (2020–…): Season 2, Episode 6 - Liberty - full transcript

Any interest in a part-time
resident practice?

It's not fair.

How you see me.

The committee agreed that I won't

be working hands-on with patients.

- I didn't know...
- No, you don't know!

You know nothing!

About my dad.

I'm not up to date on his
condition because we don't talk.

I wish we got to stay
where we were.

Live our lives from then.



Nah, you serve coffee all day.

Amateur.

Soy butter?

Amira seems really intent
on giving up meat, huh?

Are these pads?

What?

Nothing.

You don't trust me to handle it?

No, I'm glad that you were
there for her, I just thought

you would have told me.

Rania.

- Ah, there's my bag.
- Lunch is packed.

I'll walk you to school.

Have you seen Dr. Hunter?



Not since you asked me five minutes ago.

Hi, uh...

I'm just transcribing here,
but do you know why Dr. Hunter

keeps saying to ad lib?

At liberty.

As in, I'm at liberty to remind
you they teach that in first year.

Are you hiding from your student?

I forgot how much work
it was managing people.

- Preach.
- Juney!

Oh, hi, Charles.

I thought I said I would call you.

Yeah, and you didn't,
but we need to talk.

Okay, so this is Mags and Theo.

Well, that was half an introduction.

Good to meet you guys, I'm Charles,

- June's little brother.
- Mags, June!

GSW coming in!

- Sorry, gotta go.
- Uh...

You think I should
start calling her Juney?

Oh. Well, that depends,

do you consider yourself
a smart man, Theo?

Dylan Carter, 19, gunned
down while filling up his car!

Counted two entries,
but there could be more!

Wrapped what we could, gave
him saline and morphine.

Hang on, Dylan. You're in a hospital.

- We're going to help you.
- This kid's only 20?

Activate MTP, I need two large bore IVs,

two litres of saline
and one gram of TXA!

He's got a right-sided pneumothorax,

I don't see any fluid in
the belly on the eFAST.

Where does it hurt most, Dylan?

- My chest.
- Okay, I have, uh...

one entry in the right side
of his chest and another

in the abdomen, right lower quadrant.

- One more in his thigh!
- His head wound is superficial!

Dylan, can you feel your arms or legs?

I didn't see who shot.

Okay, log roll, check
for exits! Quickly!

Okay, one, two, three.

Okay, three entries,

I have an exit on his chest and abdomen.

Nothing on the leg,
bullet rule's uneven.

One, two, three.

Someone call my gran?

- Is he gonna make it?
- Dylan?

LOC is decreasing!

Let's shoot a chest and pelvis
to look for fragments or bullets.

Before you move him,
I'll need a blood sample.

This kid's no victim.

I need a DNA sample
before anything else.

Officer, we don't have time for
that and you don't have consent. Out!

- He's crashing!
- You heard him.

Start oxygen, push fluids
and more blood products.

Let's give him a chance.

Colton Parker, seven years old.

Heart rate is 150, BP is 80 over 50,

bradypneic breathing
at every 10 minutes.

He ate the parents' edibles.

They're Heather's edibles, not mine.

- You mean cannabis?
- I keep them locked up!

I only use them to fall asleep.
I don't know how he found them!

- How much did he ingest?
- I don't know!

I brought the empty package
with me, but don't remember

how many were in there.
He must've thought they were candy.

What's important right now is
that we get Colton breathing.

Once we have him stabilized,

we can assess the toxicity
in his system, okay?

We'll update you when we know more.

Dylan's BP isn't moving. 80 over 60.

Let's run it down in order.

Head wound seems minor,
we'll CT to be sure.

The bullet wound to the chest

has caused an extremely
large pneumothorax.

X-rays are showing a distance of more

than three centimeters to the apex.

He's got persistent hypotension,
and his shock index is 1,6.

Abdo's positive now,
significant internal bleeding.

He needs the OR or an
emergency laparotomy.

- And the bullet he kept?
- Trauma film shows

it's subcutaneous on
the posterior left thigh.

Where it's clear of his femoral.

But still remains a risk
until we know how close.

One wrong shift could kill him.

Choices made now dictate
his options in the future.

I've seen a pneumothorax
this large before.

He needs a VATS to make sure
his lung doesn't recollapse.

No, the pneumo should be
drained now to stabilize him,

then thoracics can do
a VATS. He needs the OR

for uncontrolled bleeding and
we can get him there safely

- if we decompress his lung.
- I think you're wrong.

It's Dr. Hamed's
patient so it's his call.

And her?

Chest tube first, then
you and I will talk to her.

His O2 SATS aren't climbing.

We need to intubate now. Laryngoscope.

Move, Jake.

Did you do any that reading I gave
you on difficult airway intubation?

- Yeah.
- Good. Next steps?

- Uh, lift the epiglottis?
- Stabilize the larynx.

I can't get a good visual.

His neck's stiff as a
board, paralytic wore off?

Could be an atypical seizure.

Stiffening of the muscles
can happen with THC ingestion.

I can't risk going in there
without damaging his airway.

Damn it! Bag.

If his neck's too rigid, we need
to make the tube more flexible.

We need a gum bougie
and more paralytic agent.

Give him 30 of succs.

Doesn't that mean going in blind?

A messy solution's
better than no solution.

That's too big for a pedes patient.

Urinary catheter with a coude tip.

Urinary for intubation?

It's more flexible
for smaller windpipes.

Just stand back and watch, Jake.

Take over.

Off the bag.

I'm past the epiglottis.

And then, past the larynx.

Grab the tube, Claire.

Slide it over the proximal tip.

Good.

Good, almost there, hand
back control and we just...

Rotate anti-clockwise
and re-route?

You got it.

Okay. We're in.

Inflating the balloon.

SATS are climbing.

He needs an OG tube
and activated charcoal.

No way to know the damage
until we run more tests.

And the parents?

I'll loop in a social worker.

Hey, did I see Mr. Willis is back?

Yeah. Right. He is.

Patellar instability after
tripping over his sleeping cat

sent him down the stairs
three weeks ago.

Page ortho, he might be
a candidate for trochleoplasty.

You keep all that at
the top of your brain?

- Still can't find Dr. Hunter?
- No.

He wants me to redo some reading.

So I don't think I'm
impressing him much.

Well, then maybe you need to
find a way to be more impressive.

Okay, wait, hold up. Hold up, hold up.

- I can't.
- You're the tough love type.

I appreciate that.

How do I do that?

Well, for starters, if
Dr. Hunter doesn't need you,

find someone who does.
Use this place to, you know, expand.

Practice running every
differential you can.

No one's gonna open doors for you, Jake,

so don't be afraid
to open them yourself.

Did you...

- I'll consider that.
- Is everything okay?

- Sorry. This room was empty.
- No, it's fine.

Sit down. Did you burn yourself?

Just had a minor fight
with the pressure washer.

Hmm, well, steam burns even
hotter than boiling water.

And, perfect place to get it looked at.

I still have four floors to do.

Oh no, trust me, people
come in for way less.

And you don't want to mess with a burn.

I'll be quick, I promise.

Dylan Carter's in surgery now.

Does that mean he'll survive?

Depends how he responds, but we hope so.

You do realize this is
gangland retribution.

There are two actually innocent
bystanders at St. Luke's

because of the choices the suspect
you're protecting made in life.

We're treating a patient.

How he got shot has nothing
to do with our duty of care.

Dylan's known associates are responsible

for a house party shooting where
three people died last month.

Witnesses put him there too,
but his DNA could tie him to it.

- Is he under arrest?
- No, he's not.

We have our protocol, you have yours.

You want his blood, show us
you have a legal right to it.

Kid requires multiple surgeries.

He's not going anywhere.

Meanwhile, my father's waiting
a year for a hip replacement.

I'll be back with a warrant.

Thanks for backing me up.

Patients first, Dr. Hamed.

You're not even gonna sit?

I've been here 10 days

and you already managed
to break two dinner dates

and not call me once.

I've just been busy, with the new role.

And I'm working remotely
from a city I don't live in,

taking care of an increasingly
cranky father,

being an absent husband...

Oh, and the Facetime parent
to the nephew you never see.

- Okay.
- And yet I'm still making time

- to come visit you.
- Easy on the guilt trip, right.

Besides, it's not like
you're here to see me,

you're here to ask me about Dad.

There's supposed to be perks
to having a doctor for a sister?

His, um...

his treatment's getting complicated.

That's why I hired him a nurse.

Who he promptly pissed off
and now refuses to come back.

I thought about giving her mom's number

so they could compare complaints.

- Sounds like a you problem.
- I'm flying blind here.

This is me asking, not Dad.

I've already told you,

I don't want anything to do with him.

He's dying, Juney.

You didn't know.

They say six months barring
some kind of miracle.

I just... I don't...

I don't know what it changes, so...

That's cold.

Even for you.

I have patients I have to go see.

I've put a little extra
milk in there for you.

Working doctors tend to brew it strong.

Shockingly, I have missed
our monthly check-ins.

Well, we are heavy on bed occupancy,

but we've been turning them around fast.

We've been running
effective simulations on...

trauma protocols.

I've been reading the reports.

- Everything upstairs okay?
- The usual.

Plenty of ideas, very little money.

Should I keep making small talk, Joan?

Because it's like I tell my
residents, time is function.

Take this in before you react, Jed.

The board wants you to start
thinking about who should lead,

once you step down.

You've built this department
from the ground up.

It's a reflection of you and
you should be proud of that.

But the last thing we want is
for that growth to stagnate.

We need to stay ahead of the curve.

We've been functioning perfectly
in the three weeks I've been back.

This is not about performance.

But at the same time.

You've had two major health
incidents in one year.

How long have you known this was coming?

Why did you even bring me back?

The best way to protect what you created

is for you to a part of
the transition process.

By choosing my own replacement?

By choosing your own eventual successor.

And by shaping
the future of this department.

If this is really about
preserving institutional knowledge,

there are less drastic
ways to go about it.

Why don't you take some time
to get your head around this,

but we'd like to have a name to float

when the board meets next quarter.

How long was your hand in the steam?

Not even sure.

I guess it took a second to register.

I'm always telling the new
people to double-check the valves,

but you know, do as I say and all that.

How long have you been working here?

I took this job after my
divorce because I needed the money.

Somehow that was 10 years ago.

You're gonna want to notify
your health and safety rep

and fill out an incident report.

Is that necessary?

It's standard protocol
for workplace injuries.

They'll want to fix the pressure
washer so no one else

gets hurt the same way.

Veronica, is someone going to
give you a hard time about this?

I've seen people get edged out for less.

But it's not your fault if
a piece of equipment threw a tantrum.

If you need backup, they
can come see me, okay?

You're all done. And don't be invisible.

If you need something stronger
for the pain, you let me know.

His lung collapsed twice during his lap

and I just had to eat it from thoracics

'cause they had to redo his
chest tube to correct placement.

- But he pulled through.
- Barely.

If you want me to tell the
surgeons it was my call...

I don't care about that.
The kid nearly died, Bash.

Now his recovery might be twice as long.

You were there.

We had two bad options.

Punishing me for picking the
wrong one won't help Dylan.

That's not what I'm doing.

His health card is in here somewhere.

You can just give it to
the triage nurse, Ms. Carter.

Rita.

Found it.

I think it's expired
though, does that matter?

Got him that shirt for Christmas.

Little punk wore it once.

Four bullets and he's still alive?

He had surgery to repair
a lacerated appendix

and a collapsed lung.

We need time to see how he responds.

I haven't seen or heard
from Dylan in two months.

I've seen the cops though,
they've been here too, I bet?

They don't care who did this to him.

One less problem for them if
he gets what's coming to him.

When can I take him home?

Rita, even if the surgery goes well,

the recovery will...
it will be involved.

I'll take care of him. I always do.

Look, he's been living
with me since he was 12.

I love my grandson, but I'm not blind.

Shoplifting at 14, carjacking at 16.

Drugs, violence. I could
say he comes by it, honestly,

knowing his dirtbag parents
as I unfortunately do,

but he made his choices.

A lot of people been by
lately, looking for Dylan.

Some of them cops,

some of them definitely not.

He needs someone he can
trust taking care of him.

When he came in, finding
you was all he wanted.

Because it's the one
thing I could do for him,

the one rule we had.

No matter what, he
could always come home.

You make it so he still can.

Bottom line is Colton
is extremely lucky.

The charcoal's having
a neutralizing effect

and we're not seeing any
signs of brain damage.

So he's going to be okay?

We need to observe him for
the next six to eight hours.

And, uh...

I would like to introduce
you to Iris Kowalski.

She's a social worker here at Memorial.

I knew it. You called Children's Aid?

I just have to ask a few questions.

Has Colton ever been exposed to
your marijuana products before?

Never. I only bring
them out when he's asleep

and we keep them in the highest cabinet.

I've told Heather it was a hazard
to even keep them in the house.

So is alcohol or a hot stove or...

Which is why we keep alcohol locked
in the cabinet and the stove off!

You promised me you
would be more careful!

- I thought I was!
- Yeah, clearly not enough!

Whoa!

Look. Colton is recovering
well. Let's all just calm down.

Look, I do have to notify CAS,

but since you have no history
of endangering your son,

I doubt they'll pursue
any formal action.

But we will come up with
a prevention plan before you leave

to make sure this doesn't happen again.

Thank you.

Both of you.

Well, that was intense.

I mean, yeah. Can you blame them?

Not at all.

But I was talking about you,

throwing it down with the husband.

He was out of line with
his wife. Wasn't he?

So you're a pediatrician

who fixes the marriages of strangers?

Interesting cross-practice.

Was that how I came off?

I'm going through a split.

Then you have a lot
to be pissed off about.

- Divorce can be ugly.
- Ours isn't.

I've just been trying to
keep it from bleeding over,

though my student would probably
say my success has been varied.

Well, I gotta get back.

Have you ever been to Wreck Bar?

Uh, nah, I've never heard of it.

Unsolicited advice?

Blow off some steam.
Tonight if possible.

I'll email you the address.

Hey, uh, she's interesting, isn't she?

Iris.

Uh, I guess, sure.

Gown and glove reqs.

We go through almost
double during flu season.

I just need you to approve
next month's overages.

On my desk. I'll deal with it later.

Come on.

How does this work?

- Do I need to know about this?
- Well, one of our cleaning crew

burned herself on a pressure
washer. And I treated her,

but I hate the idea that they're
working with something so unsafe.

Did she report it to her supervisor?

I advised her to, but
she's scared it'll backfire.

I thought maybe I could do it
for her, keeping her name out.

So you're Health & Safety Rep
for the cleaning department now?

How many other departments
do you plan on joining?

I guess that means you
don't want me taking

some of Dr. Fisher's
cardiology patients?

Because she assures me that
emerg would take absolute priority

and she hasn't heard back
from you on sign-off, so...

You can't solve every
problem in the building, Mags.

How are you feeling, Dylan?

They said I took four bullets?

Feels more like eight.

I tried to stand, but I couldn't.

Doctors had to remove your appendix,

re-inflate your lung
and repair a tear in it.

What about my leg?

The bullet stays in for now.

It's not an immediate threat
to your femoral artery,

but our vascular surgeons
will need to reassess

once you're feeling stronger.

- And what about the police?
- Gran.

They were here, he spoke to them.

He's not gonna talk in front
of me unless you say he can.

Yeah. She's cool.

What did they say?

We told them they'd need a warrant
to take a blood sample

and they said they'd be back with one.

When?

Then I need to get him home before
they get back. Is that possible?

No. I'm not coming home with you, Gran.

And what are you gonna do?

Go to your idiot friends for help?

The cops will just come
find me at your place.

So let them!

This doctor's been telling me
all day how serious this is.

You're gonna need
someone to look after you.

The people who put me here,
they're gonna try again.

I don't want you
getting mixed up in that.

I can take care of myself.

I can take care of both of us.

No, you can't!

Not anymore!

We're way past you helping me, Gran!

What, you wanna get shot for me?

Aren't you even gonna
ask what they think I did?

If you think you can
scare me into letting go,

you're dumber than I thought.

Will he be ready to leave before
that cop gets back tomorrow?

Given Dylan's condition, I'm not
comfortable making any promises.

Just get him to where you
can, leave the rest to me.

And I don't want to hear anything
from you but "yes, ma'am".

Okay, Gran.

Okay.

Hi, uh.

I'm looking for Wreck Bar.

You found it.

Pick your poison.

Sorry, one sec. I think
I'm in the wrong place.

20 bucks for as much as
you can fit in the basket.

Yeah. It's not for me.

Found it!

I had the form a week, but forgot.

I need to bring it back
signed to practice tomorrow.

You have a dance
competition in Peterborough?

Next month, the 15th.

Yeah, we'll all go.

Family trip.

Is that okay?

There's a pool at the hotel
where they're holding rooms,

but they did say one room per family.

That's no problem.

I'm sure there's a couch there too.

Dylan, you have to be in bed.

Okay, if you want something just ask.

Get this tube outta me
or I'll do it myself.

Even if I thought you were ready
for that, you still need monitoring.

No, Dylan, hold on.
Just stop. Just stop!

That cop could be back any second!

She said she'd have a
warrant this morning, right?

Think about how serious this is. Okay?

Your lung could collapse
again, or your wound could tear

or the bullet in your
leg could be infected?

At the very least, wait
for Rita to come back.

No! I meant it when I
said she can't be involved!

Is running from this
really what you want?

You heard Rita, she's
never going to let me go,

and I can't be the reason
something happens to her.

You can try and get in my
way, man, but I'm leaving.

Just please. No, no, no, no.

Stop, stop, stop. Please. Five minutes.

Okay, just five minutes.

So you think it's a good idea

to take out his chest tube?

No, but it's better than
if he leaves with it in.

Okay, I checked his charts and
drainage is less than 10 cc's per hour

for the last four, and no
increased work of breathing.

Yeah, okay, but he's still
recovering from multiple surgeries.

He made it clear he's going, June.

But what if he did what the
cops really suspect of him

and he shot someone?

Look, I don't know what
you're asking me to do here.

I don't know if you want
me to talk you out of this

or if you want me to help you.

Maybe both.

It's fine, June, I'll deal with it.

Wait, wait.

So, Wreck Bar's totally not a bar.

I never said it was.

So what'd you break?

I prefer to find more constructive
ways to deal with things.

Admirable.

I wish I was half that
restrained when I found out

my wife was cheating on me.

Yeah, that place saved me
from destroying my own TV

multiple times over.

I will keep it in my back pocket.

- Hey!
- I don't know where Theo is

if that's what you're wondering.

He's on his way to a staff meeting.

You said that I need to figure
out myself inside this place,

but I feel like that's
half the equation.

You've got this bank vault of a brain,

you remember every
patient you've ever seen.

How do you manage to keep that up?

Are you ever not working?

Are you running a differential on me?

You said to go in on
everyone that I can.

- This is so not what I meant.
- It's just...

- Nah.
- I'm done work, I shut off.

I see family, I see
friends, I play basketball.

No wonder you're behind on your reading.

Hey, woman in five said you
saw her yesterday for a burn?

Veronica's back?

Uh, can I tag along on this one?

- Just keep learning?
- Don't say anything.

You're back. Is it the pain?

No. By this morning,
it had stopped hurting.

But it looks like this.

Veronica. There's no
way this is a steam burn.

You have to tell me
exactly what happened.

I spilled ammonia on it.

This is a chemical burn?

We used to get the solutions prediluted.

Someone decided it would
be cheaper to order in bulk

and have us mix it ourselves.

The containers are heavy and it slipped.

Go get Claire to help you book an OR

for a possible debridement.

You think I need surgery?

When ammonia gets in your tissue

it kills the cells, necrosis.

I have to assess how far in it went.

But I googled it after the spill.

It said to flush it, which I did.

But chemical burns need
prolonged irrigation.

Why didn't you tell me the truth?

I didn't want my supervisor
knowing I messed up.

Can you feel this?

Well, you have what's
called a full thickness burn.

The ammonia got through
every layer of the tissue.

A simple debridement won't be enough.

What do you mean?

It'll be up to the surgeons, but likely

they'll try something
called an escharotomy

to release the pressure and
try to save some tissue, but...

There is a possibility that
they'll have to amputate.

I'm sorry, Veronica.

I'll be back.

Warrant to take bodily substances

for forensic DNA analysis.

- Where is he? Where's Dylan?
- Ms. Carter.

You said you'd help him
and you let him leave?

Wait. Dylan Carter's gone?

You told me he needed
medical assistance for days.

It's been 24 hours! How is he gone?

Oh, don't act like you care about him!

Rita, he told us he was leaving
whether we wanted him to or not.

It's not our job to hold suspects
for you and you know that.

Ma'am, if you really
care about your grandson,

you'll work with me to find him.

Oh, piss off!

He didn't shoot anyone!

You seriously think I'd help you?

You failed him.

All of you!

Ma'am.

You took out his chest tube

when his condition was still acute?

We did. He said he was
gonna leave either way

and it was the right thing to do.

Sir, there wasn't
enough time to ask you.

Would you not have done the same?

Yes, but it wasn't me,
Dr. Hamed, it was you.

- Amira! What happened?
- She tripped at dance

and hit her head on
the edge of her stage.

Why didn't you call me?

I was rushing to bring her here!

Amira?

Okay. It looks like one
wound, lots of blood.

Let's do a neurological
exam to make sure.

I don't think that will be necessary.

We'll get someone to stitch her up.

Look, sir, I need to do this, okay?

Bashir, you can't with
family. You know this.

We'll ask Dr. Hunter, shall we?

Very dramatic way for us to get
a visit from you, young lady,

but we'll take it.

So you are telling me
you did this dancing?

Sure you didn't join a fight club
since the last time I saw you?

Ha ha ha.

- Was that a pity laugh?
- Definite pity laugh.

Well, I will take it.

Hey, uh, why don't you give
your brother a little wave there

so he gears down?

How you liking the new place?

Must be nice having another girl around.

I miss you.

I miss you too.

Alright.

Let's take a look. Wow.

It looks pretty badass.

How about I bandage
that up and then uh...

maybe you and me, we... we go in there

and we let him off the hook?

Can I stay here a few more minutes?

You wanna learn how to apply a dressing?

Sir, Veronica Garcia
lied about her burn.

She spilled ammonia on her hand

and was too afraid of
losing her job to tell me.

It was chemical? Now it's progressed?

Full thickness with
necrosis from the radius

to the proximal phalanx of
the thumb and forefinger.

Sensation?

- Minimal. Circulation too.
- What's the plan?

Escharotomy, but given
the prognosis, the surgeon

is considering amputation.
He says it would take a miracle

to save her hand now.

This woman spent the last 10
years making our jobs easier

and if she hadn't burned herself,
I wouldn't even know she existed.

And I know you said we can't
solve every problem in this place,

but this place is
going to cost her a limb

and I have a hard time...
What are you doing?

Well, we can't solve the
problem in the hospital,

we have to widen our reach.

With an analog phonebook?

Dr. Karen Balaji.

She's a plastics
specialist at St. Luke's.

I've published with her.

They call her the tissue resurrector.

So you'll ask her?

No, you will.

While I speak to
maintenance about chemicals.

It's good for you to build
these relationships, Mags.

But this thing with Dr. Fisher...

Haven't we both lived through
the perils of biting off

more than you can chew?

That's not what this is, sir.

I mean, I don't exactly
know what it is yet, but...

Do you not think I should do it or...?

I want you here.

With us.

You better get on that.

- Time is...
- Function.

She's alright.

We'll need to do some more imaging,

but it's likely just a small concussion.

Thank you for getting her here.

It wasn't fair to shout at you.

Rania.

If you don't love me
anymore, you need to tell me.

Hey, uh, thanks for
taking care of Amira.

Of course.

Hey, why don't you
guys come by for dinner?

I'll make comfort food.
You can bring Rania too.

Amira should rest.

She, uh...

mentioned that things at
home were kinda tricky.

You doing okay?

- What did she say?
- Nothing.

No, just that you and Rania
are still figuring things out.

You talk to her about that?

No, I wasn't trying to talk to her.

All she needed was sutures, Theo.

Look, Bash, I'm just saying.

They read things.

God knows my daughters
are full of questions,

especially now that their
mother and I are just talking

- to lawyers...
- I'll take care of it myself.

Thanks.

Yeah, fine! Sorry I stepped
in where I'm not needed.

Dr. Balaji's seen your imaging
and spoken to our team.

If she thinks she can save
your hand, that means she can.

Your sister's gonna
meet you at St. Luke's,

and I'm gonna call in once
you're through to check in.

Thank you, Mags. For everything.

Of course. And I know they
have better food there,

but don't get too comfortable,
we want you back.

What?

Are you free tonight?

Free for what?

Dinner.

Drinks. Anything you want
really, that's just not here.

Are you asking me on a date?
You're asking me on a date.

You're the one who said to
find doors and open them,

so that's what I'm doing.

Okay!

It's, uh, torture trying to figure out

what's going on in your head right now.

Well, right now it's
whether I find you charming

- or annoying, I...
- Okay.

Which way are you leaning?

Two sugars.

I hope there's a better
reason you called me back here

than a crappy apology coffee.

I'm not apologizing.

You can call me cold if
you want, it's up to you.

I don't need you to
understand my choices with Dad.

But seriously, Charles,
you know that doesn't mean

that I don't want you in my life, right?

So if you can separate
the two, I know I can.

Yeah.

- Is he dead?
- No, no.

That's not why I'm here.

Then, why the hell are you here?

I haven't seen him.

Not that I'd tell you if I did.

I just wanted to give you this.

Stocked with sterile
gauze, gloves, antibiotics,

antiseptic, and a list
of things to watch for

in case you do see him.

I know that letting him go
was your way of helping him.

What are the chances
he'll need that stuff?

He's strong.

The fact that he got up
after surgery the way he did

- is encouraging, but...
- He'll need to be looked after.

I kept telling myself
that it was a good thing,

keeping my house safe for him.

Was it just me enabling him?

I'm not ready to lose him.

Thanks for this.

Is it a bad idea to date a med student?

You talking about Jake?

Politically, probably.

Personality-wise...

Probably.

Did he ask you out?

Yeah.

- Okay.
- I think I'm gonna say yes.

Okay.

Your brother seems nice. You two close?

You know if you ever need to talk.

Okay.

Good night.

My dad's dying.

Hi.

I've been made redundant.

They told me yesterday to start...

start thinking about a transition plan.

They're pushing you out?

When?

As soon as I choose my
replacement, according to them.

I'm so sorry, Jed.

I don't know what to say.

I'm not done, Claire.

Amira?

She went to sleep an hour ago.

Look, uh, I know this...

this hasn't been fair to you and, uh...

I'll do better.
