You scared me!
Who scared who?
You left my front door open.
I thought someone broke in.
Well, I wouldn't have to
worry so much about you
if I could see you more often.
I know, I know, I'm sorry.
I'm just so tired and overwhelmed.
Things are just piling on right now.
I have this huge test coming up.
It's not enough that
you're a full-time nurse.
You gotta be in grad school too?
Eneh, it's too much.
You're not taking care of yourself.
I only have three more months to go.
Once I'm finished with this MBA
in Healthcare Administration,
I can actually really
start helping people
get the care they deserve.
And this is amazing. Thank you.
What are you doing?
Come see.
I still don't know what I'm
supposed to be looking for.
The beads.
- Weren't those there before?
- Huh?
You know this is actually your altar,
not mine though.
If you didn't come change
the plantains every week,
the whole thing would just
turn into a fruit fly factory.
Blasphemy.
If you're going to work
yourself into the ground,
you're going to need all
the protection you can get.
I actually can't believe we're twins.
We're like night and day.
That would make us
two halves of a whole.
Ooh, maybe you'll be happy
with what else I dug up.
Remember this?
_
Tell me when to stop.
Stop.
"The Two Brothers".
"Once there were two brothers
who could talk to each other
"without using their mouths.
"All day long they would tell each other
"jokes at school using...
"Only their minds."
"But one day, the younger
of the brothers fell very ill
"and passed away
suddenly without warning.
That's the part that always made me cry.
They didn't have Shango to protect them.
You see how that works?
Oh, my gosh.
The unfortunate brother
was buried and put to rest.
But soon the older brother began
to hear sounds in his head.
That not even the doctor could explain.
You okay?
Yeah.
Just a headache.
I'm tired though.
You can go crash in the guest room.
Maybe sleep now and we finish
the story tomorrow, hmm?
Okay.
Adaora.
What's wrong?
What's wrong?
Let me... Hey, let me see?
Let me see.
Adaora!
This is ridiculous.
You should've been seen by now.
Please sit down.
Three hours is BS.
Are you kidding me?
I saw that woman in the waiting room.
She got here at least an hour after us.
This is...
Excuse me, doctor.
My sister may have had a stroke
and we've been waiting here
for almost three hours and...
I'm sorry ma'am, but you have
to understand there's a triage.
I'm a nurse, I know what triage is.
I also know that I've seen
patients who got here after us,
and yet they've been seen.
I'm going to ask you to calm down.
You know,
it's great that you're a nurse,
but you're not a doctor.
She complained of a headache,
she's been listless,
might have lost motor functioning
on one side of her...
I appreciate your diligence,
and when the attending comes,
they will too.
You're not hearing me.
She does not appear to be an emergency.
They would've noted that at intake.
And as a nurse you must
know there are many things
which can present as a stroke.
- Anxiety, insomnia, drug use.
- Drug use?!
Do you really think I haven't
noticed how this hospital
has been treating its black patients?
I do not appreciate your insinuation.
Now your sister will
have to wait her turn
just like everybody else.
Or you're welcome to
go to another hospital,
one where you'll feel
more... comfortable.
Oh, my God!
Adaora!
Stroke of the basilar artery,
permanent vegetative state.
It didn't have to happen this way.
If you had just listened to us.
If you had just believed me.
We know how difficult this is,
but you're going to have
to make some decisions.
Given her condition you
may want to consider...
No.
I'm not giving up on her.
Well in that case, your best
bet is probably a hospice facility,
as we don't offer those services here.
With patients such as your sister,
we often refer them to Serenity Valley.
That's probably your best bet.
Serenity Valley.
Eneh...
Help me!
In the dark...
Don't want to be alone...
When, when, when the shadow comes.
Excuse me, hi. Lucy, right?
The poor woman in my
sister's room had this food
just festering by her bed,
and I'm pretty sure she's
developing pressure ulcers
from not being moved enough.
This here is completely unacceptable!
Honey, I hear you.
I do the best I can. I really do.
But I know it's not enough.
Two nurses on a floor of
30 patients is a crime.
Management just doesn't care
about anything but cutting costs.
Why the hell is it so understaffed?
Why do you think?
Is this management?
Mm-hmm.
Right, I'm going to have a
little conversation with them.
You go ahead.
I think I can tell you what he'll say.
"You're welcome to go somewhere
"where you feel more comfortable."
It won't be the first time.
Your twin is lucky to have you.
A lot of folks don't have
anybody advocating for them.
People never guess we're twins.
Really?
I just feel it.
There's a lot of energy
between twins, you know?
Of course you know.
You guys have powers.
Well, she's my best friend.
But I don't know about powers.
I've been working in
hospice a long time,
and let me tell you,
I've seen things that
defy logic and science.
You keep talking to her
just the way you always do,
and maybe one day
it'll help wake her up.
_
Adaora, tell me when to stop.
Lucy! Lucy!
She moved her finger.
Keep talking to her.
No, no, no, no. Please, no...
Please no, no, no, it hurts...
No.
Eneh!
Eneh.
Help me!
Hey, hey.
After he's done with me,
he's coming for you next!
Adaora, move your feet
for me if you can hear me.
I know you can hear me.
Please, please, please.
My sister, please.
Just wake up.
I'm trying, Eneh!
I am so scared.
You okay?
Don't give up hope.
She needs you to be strong for her.
"The brother opened the door,
but there was no one there.
"The knocking he heard
was just in his head.
"It was his brother.
"Knocking, knocking,
"trying to tell him
that he was still there.
"Let me in.
"Let me into your mind."
Adaora.
Eneh, hurry. Help me!
Eneh, hurry. Help me!
Eneh, hurry.
Eneh, help me.
Help me.
Adaora!
Adaora, I can't get in!
Adaora!
Adaora, you moved
my body with your mind!
How did you do that?
Shango, help us!
Help us!
Adaora, are you there?
I'm here Eneh, my sister.
I feel your strength.
It's too strong!
I don't know what to do.
Pray with me.
Shango, great God
of thunder look over us.
May you hear us now in our time of need.
We, your daughters, cry out to you.
Shield us from this evil.
Please somebody help me!
Please somebody help me, please!
Serenity Valley, Lucy speaking.
Oh, yeah.
Absolutely.
Okay, thank you so much.
The residents really love her.
She pays so much attention to them.
It's a miracle to see
how well she's doing.
We split the difference.
Will you bring me some tea, sis?
Maybe a little snack?
