Previously on e.R.:

We do not need
A pediatric attending here.

Don't worry.
It's not going
To happen.

Think I can
Be an attending?

Of course.

You're a great friend.

But...

But there's
This other guy.

We're both adults.

We enjoy
Each other.

Why not?

None of you wants

The family involved
In your lives.

He's not going
To break my heart.

Men like him
Don't change.

Let's give her
A heart transplant.

Peter.

Aha.

Sleeping beauty awakes.

Hey.

I was just checking
My messages.

You didn't even stir
When the alarm went off.

Dead to the world.

Well, you know

It's not that often
That I get to sleep in.

Yeah, yeah,
Don't rub it in.

Some of us have
To work sundays.

Oh, please.

You know I've had
My share.

Well, you're welcome
To stay.

No reason to waste
A warm bed.

No, no, no.

Actually, I need
To get going.

There's tea and toast
In the kitchen.

You'll have to
Boil the kettle

But I think you
Can manage that.

No.

I've, uh, got
To go somewhere.

Not some other

Clandestine
Meeting, I hope.

Reese is getting
Baptized today.

Protestant
Or catholic?

Why?

Just curious.

A.M.E.

Look, I would have
Invited you...

Don't be silly.

It's a family thing.

Got time to go
Home and change?

Yeah.

Okay. Well, have
A good time then.

Hey, and could you
Lock the door

On your way out?

Sure.

Great.

Hey, peter.

It was really lovely last night.

( chuckles )

( chuckles )

What are you doing?

I'm hungry.

You can't start
Without her.

I knew this brunch
Was a bad idea.

She's a little
Bit late.

We should have met
On neutral territory.

I told you,
Deep down

Your mother likes me.

Keep dreaming.

( doorbell rings )

Finally.

There you go.

Hi.
Hello.

Hello.

What happened
To your front step?

Did you get
A flat tire

Or something?

Why are you late?

Javier, this is

My daughter carol
And her friend doug.

Nice to meet you.

I'm sorry
We're late

But I couldn't
Get her out

Of the house.

Excuse me?

You know how she can be--
Has to be perfect.

Allow me,
Sweet pea.

I'll get this.

Like something
To drink?

Do you have
Orange juice?

Yes, we do.

Two mimosas, please.

You brought champagne.

Aren't we celebrating?

Two happy couples

Right?

( chuckling )

Did you see the way

He kept touching
Her back?

Wasn't really paying
Attention.

You were too busy

Laughing at his
Stupid jokes.

He was funny.

If he called her
Sweet pea one more time

I was going to barf.

It was great.

Doug, they met
At the racetrack.

That was
A senior citizen outing.

So? They let anybody
In those groups.

Well, that's not true.

All I know is that
This is the nicest

Your mother's
Ever been to me.

You don't understand.

My mother hates men.

Hate's a strong word.

Yeah, but in her
Case, accurate.

Maybe she's
Getting some.

Oh, doug, don't
Even go there.

Hey, how was it?

In like flint.

You look like hell.

You got to love
Saturday nights.

The I.C.U. Is packed:

Two muggings,
Three bar fights

Four gangbanger
Drop-offs

And a bad stroganoff
From a wedding reception.

Don't forget
The guy

Who licked
The bottom

Of his girlfriend's shoe.

Why's that?

She asked him to.

I had to do
A tongue culture.

On that note,
Anybody hungry?

Nope.

Anna actually brought
Sunday doughnuts.

Oh, so cake isn't enough?

You have to deep fry it?

That's the point.

How long are you on?

20 minutes.

Medevac is incoming.

29-year-old,
Chemical accident.

Bad chemical burn.

Terrific.

Hold the elevator.

Going down?

Uh, up, actually.

Up's fine.

Surprised to see you
Here on a sunday.

I'm full of surprises.

Covering the e.R.?

Mm-hmm.

I've noticed
You signed up

For a lot of extra
Coverage lately.

You know, idle hands.

I know what you mean.

It's time you and I had
A little sit-down.

Is there a problem?

No problem.

Let me buy you lunch.

Is it about
The hemoaid study?

That and the future.

All right.

Good. Then, in
About an hour?

Mm-hmm.

You said hydrofluoric acid?

Yeah.

Not hydrochloric?

I don't think
So. Why?

I heard we had
A fire victim.

Actually,
Chemical burn.

How bad?

What do you got?

Paul canterna

31-year-old
Security guard.

Second and third-degree
Chemical burns

To the trunk, right arm
And legs.

Hydrofluoric acid.

What happened?

It was stupid.
The vat was leaking.

I tightened
The valve.

Lie back and relax.

I got in the shower
To rinse it off.

Gave him five of morphine,
Two liters saline.

You feeling
Any more pain now?

It's okay now.

Let's go.
Let's move him.

Good morning.

Herrguth:
Usually, significant

Improvement occurs within

The first
Three months.

He's working on motor skills.

Chase's progress has
Slowed considerably.

All the more reason
For aggressive therapy.

He can get
That at home.

Look, I just want what's
Medically best for my cousin.

Gamma, I think
This is a big mistake.

John, it's often wise to listen
To the perspective

Of those
Not personally involved.

Chase is
Getting worse.

He's lost nearly all function
On his left side.

No, he just favors his right.

You have to force him
To use his left.

I wish it were
That simple.

It is. Watch.

John, please.

Hey, chase.

How you doing?

How you doing?

You, uh,
You want to draw?

He was
Left-handed.

He was drawing
Last week.

You want to draw
Something?

John, this
Isn't necessary.

Hmm? Okay?

Okay?

Okay.

Okay. Why don't you
Take the pencil?

No, no.

Other hand.

Come on.

He can do this.

It's okay.
It's okay.

There you go.

You're all set.

What do you want
To draw, huh?

You.

Me? You want
To draw me?

Okay, go ahead.

I rushed him.

I rushed him.

You can't rush him.

All right?

There we go.

Let's try again.

Yeah.

Needs calcium chloride,
Ten percent solution.

Start with five amps.

Five amps?

And set up
An infusion--

One gram every
15 minutes.

So, mr. Canterna,
Feeling any more pain?

It's starting
To get numb, doctor.

Is that bad?

Our immediate concern

Is with the fluoride
In the acid.

Like toothpaste?

Not exactly.

The calcium can be drawn
Out of your cells.

What does that mean?

Well, it depends

How much has penetrated
Your skin.

Right now, we're giving you
Calcium intravenously

To counteract the effect.

Is there any family
You'd like us to call?

Is there something
You're not telling me, doctor?

Hydrofluoric burns
Can be serious.

Is there any family

You'd like us to call
In the area?

Nah, I don't really have
Family in chicago.

Okay. I'll
Be right back.

Carol, can you keep
An eye on him?

Make sure
He's comfortable

And watch
His heart rate.

Tell me
If his leg gets worse.

It's not his leg
I'm worried about.

Hey.

Hey.

You look nice.

Thanks.

Hey, is carla
Here yet?

Inside.

Hey, uncle peter.

Hey.

Where is she?

Who?

Your girlfriend.

Steven.

What? You said
He had a new girlfriend.

Well, I don't.

Well, dad said

He heard grandma
Turning over in her grave.

All right.
That's enough.

Both of you go in there

And get a seat.

Peter...

You remember roger.

How you doing, man?

Uh, hey, hey.

Uh, carla, can I talk
To you for a minute?

All set?

Yes.

We should do a
Little rehearsal

Before everyone
Arrives.

Um, mom and dad...

I'm the father.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Who's holding
The baby?

I am.

Okay. Now, listen

If you'd just
Step back here.

Yeah, come on, everybody.

Just kind of move around
And make way here, please.

Thank you.

No, no, over here.

That's good.
That's good.

Here you go,
Little pickle.

Yeah, mom in the middle.

Dad, dad, right here
On the end.

Right here.

Just move back.

Thank you. Okay.

Canterna:
I wasn't even supposed
To go into work today.

I was home
Restoring my car

And the weekend guy
Called in sick.

I figured I could use
The overtime, you know?

What kind of car do you have?

It's a '63 'vette.

She's an eyesore,
But she's got matching numbers.

I'm going to fix her up.

She'll be worth...

( gasps )

It's hurting under my skin.

I'm going to give you
Something more for the pain.

How long is this going
To hang me up for?

It's hard to say.

He's already
Severely hypocalcemic

And the leg
Is necrotic.

Any e.K.G. Changes?

Prolonged q.T.

He's at risk
For an arrhythmia.

What does toxicology say?

Hydrofluoric burns
Of this magnitude

Are always fatal.

There's no new treatment.

His family on the way?

He doesn't have
Any in town.

You might have time
To fly somebody in.

Yep.

Guess I better
Go tell him.

Mm-hmm.

This is really starting
To hurt, doctor.

We can do something
About that.

I'll give him
Another five of morphine.

You okay?

You don't look
So good yourself.

Mr. Canterna, the calcium
We're giving you

Can't reverse the
Chemical reaction

In your body.

What do you mean,
"Chemical reaction"?

The fluoride is binding
To your cellular calcium

To form calcium fluoride--

A crystal salt that seeps
Into your body tissues.

So what
Does that mean?

We're already starting
To see changes

In your cardiogram.

So now what?

As the calcium level
In your cardiac cells falls

Your heart's going
To begin to fail.

( stammering )

Are you telling me
That I'm going to die?

We're doing
Everything we can.

Is that a yes?

Yes.

How-how long?

Days?

Maybe 12 hours.

Is there anybody you'd like us
To call, mr. Canterna?

Mr. Canterna?

I don't feel that bad.

Well, you let me know
If the pain increases.

It hurts. I just don't feel

Like I'm dying
Or anything.

We'll do everything we can

To keep you as comfortable
As possible.

Maybe he's got it wrong.

Shouldn't you call
A specialist or something?

I feel like you guys
Are giving up on me.

We're not giving up
On you, mr. Canterna.

I promise you that.

We'll do everything we can.

You sure there
Isn't someone

We can call?

It's too late.

How far away are they?

She won't come.

Who won't?

My daughter.

Man:
21 years old.

Complains of neck, back...

We're full here.
Next room.

Neck, back and bilateral
Ankle pain

Following a 75-foot fall
Into the river.

From where?
The train bridge.

Sinus rhythm:
A and o times three.

E.T.O.H. On breath; sensory
And motor exam normal.

Okay, c.B.C.,
Dip a urine

Cross table c-spine,
Chest and pelvic x rays.

Does that hurt?

A little.

Okay, and lift.

What were you doing
On the bridge?

It's a long story.

How about here?

No.

B.P.'s 120/70.

Pulse is 112.

Is that bad?

No. We'll just check
To make sure you're okay.

Good peripheral pulse,
Normal cap refill.

Follow with bilateral
Ankle films

And, uh, call psych.

Psych? I don't need a shrink.

Relax. Everything's fine.

I didn't jump,
If that's what you think.

Okay.
No, I'm serious.
I didn't jump.

Take any drugs?

No. I was there
With my buddies.

We were just
Fooling around.

How much have you
Had to drink?
A couple beers.

You also have a couple
Of broken ankles.

Throw in a b.A.

We'll take care of
Everything. Relax.

Is everything okay?

Joker jumps off a bridge

And walks away
With a couple of
Ankle fractures.

You called psych?
Yeah.

I'll tell weaver.

Surgical consult?

Straight ahead.

He changed his mind.

He really wants
To see his daughter.

I thought he didn't have
Family in town.

No, he does.

He hasn't seen
Her in six years.

How old is she?

Six and a half.

I'll take care of it.

Go get some rest.

I should stick around.

There's nothing else to do

Except hold his hand,
Which is my job.

Get out of here.

Thank you.

Weaver:
And... Another
Breath in.

Got a sec?

Sure. I'll be right back.

C.B.C., pulse ox, lytes,
A.B.G. And a chest film.

Still waiting
For an I.C.U. Bed.

Pulse ox is
Falling slowly.

I didn't talk to him
About a vent yet.

I wanted to let
The news set in

And carol is looking
For the family.

All right.

Have a good sunday.

Thank you.

Sorry about that.

I know you're busy.

I don't usually come
To the emergency room

For the flu.

I can't beat this cough.

How long you been
Feeling fatigued?

About a month.

Yeah? Any weight loss?

I've been so stressed
Planning this wedding.

Oh! Congratulations.

Is that a daughter
Or a granddaughter?

( chuckling ):
Why, it's my wedding.

After four years

I told her it was about time
To make a commitment.

Well, good for you.

It gives me less than
A month to get better.

No promises. You might
Have pneumonia.

Pneumonia?

We'll know more
After a chest x ray.

Anna, you the one

Who had that voodoo
Woman yesterday?

She's back?
Yeah. Exam three.

Chief complaint: voodoo man
Has taken over her body.

Wait. My voodoo patient
Was 60-something.

I had a voodoo guy
Last week.

Oh, no.

Voodoo epidemic.

Sorry.

Yeah? Ma'am, your ex-husband
Is in critical condition.

I know you are at work.

He just...
Look, he's going to die tonight.

He just wants to see molli.

Anybody home?

What have you got?

Pedestrian versus auto.

Head contusion,
Brief l.O.C.

Broken arm,
Vitals are stable.

What's open, chuny?

Uh, curtain three.

Curtain three?

Cerebral palsy?

I don't know.

Somebody clipped
His wheelchair.

He couldn't tell us
If he was hurt.

No one was with him?

Nope. Found him
On the street.

Can you tell me your name?

( speaking incoherently )

You can't
Understand him.

He might have a subdural
That could impair his speech.

We should get a head c.T.

How do you do
A neuro exam?

It would help if we
Knew his baseline.

Sir, can you push in
Against my hand?

Let's start with a c-spine.

Carter, have you
Seen elizabeth?

No.

Wasn't she called down
For a consult?

I just got here.
Anna?

She's right there,
Actually.

Hey.

Peter, I thought you
Weren't coming in.

Uh, I wasn't,
But I decided to come in

And do some
Post-op notes.

You look dapper.

Thank you.

How was the baptism?

It was good.

Nothing afterwards?

Want to get something to eat?

I've got this thing
With romano.

What thing?

Lunch. I think it's about
My fellowship renewal.

Ah...

Did you really come in
For post-op notes?

Yeah. See you later?

Yeah. Hope so.

Canterna:
Call the military.

They might have an antidote.

A buddy of mine
Says they use stuff like this.

It's... Not really
The same thing.

I just want you to know.

All right.

( groaning )

Did you find her?

Uh, I talked
To your ex-wife.

What'd she say?

She said that she's
Sorry, but, um...

She's not going
To bring molli?

No.

She knows
What's happening to me?

That's okay.

Hey, it's for the
Best, I guess.

I'm sorry.

I was going to make it
Up to her, but...

I guess I ran out of time,
You know?

At some point,
You'll have to let us know

If you want to be put
On a ventilator.

Dr. Weaver,
Do you have a minute?

Yeah. Uh, what is it?

Auto versus pedestrian--
Possible head injury.

What's the problem?

Cerebral palsy.

He's tough to assess
And we don't want to hurt him.

All right. Call me
At the first sign of arrhythmia.

Are you sure it's c.P.?
He might be posturing.

No, he's conscious.

Well, is he
On any meds?

I don't know.

He has no family.

We can't understand
A word he's saying.

Let me grab this.

Yo! I need
A portable c-spine.

X ray, trauma two.
Sorry, maggie. I got him.

When did you call?

I didn't, but I need
To clear a neck.

Well, how bad is yours?
How bad is yours?

Benton:
I need a hand!

Doyle:
Carter, grab
That gurney.

Is he breathing?

Yeah. C-collar
And backboard.

Connie, get doug.

Why didn't you call 911?

I thought I'd
Get here faster.

How long was he unconscious?

He was awake
In the car.

Pulse is weak
And thready.

I had him for
The weekend.

We were washing
The car.

I didn't
See him.

I only backed up
A couple of feet.

We'll roll him.

Hang on. Roll him.

Did you drive over him?

I just didn't see him.

Doyle:
Get radiology!

Cap refill is poor.

Stiles:
What's going on?

Jeanie:
Pediatric trauma.

Chuny, get me a crit
And type and cross for six.

Put him on oxygen,
Ten liters by mask.

Dip a urine.

Pupils are...

Equal and reactive.

I got a line in.

All right, saline, 20cc's,
Uh, per kilo bolus.

That's... Uh, he's 30,
So that's 600, right?

B.P.'s 70/30,
Pulse is 144.

Abdomen is distended.

No bowel sounds.

Can't wait for a c.T.

Let's prep for
A peritoneal lavage.

I'll get a kit.

Pulse ox?

You okay in there?

I think so. Where are
The lavage kits?

Down and to the right.

What's lavage?

It's a procedure
To check if there's
Internal bleeding.

That sounds pretty bad.

Well, you never know.

Is it a boy
Or a girl?

It's, uh, it's a boy.

You could go in there
If you need to

'cause I feel...

No. They got it.

Can I ask you to do
Something for me, nurse?

Yeah.

I have a couple
Of thousand dollars

In my savings account.

Can you make sure
It gets to molli?

Sure. Do you have
A will or something?

No. I didn't get around to it

But I just want to make sure
I get her the money.

It's not much,
But I want to give it to her.

I can get a public
Notary to arrange it.

I'll take
Care of it.

You promise?

I promise.

Don't tell her
That it came from me.

I don't
Want her to think

I'm buying her forgiveness.

Sorry. Hallway's blocked.

Ross:
5.5 e.T. Tube.

Got the blood!

Hang a unit.
I'll start a second line.

Rapid induction.

.5 of pavulon, 75 of sux.

Got it.

Cricoid pressure,
Will you, please?

Marty, your daddy didn't
Mean to do this to you.

I didn't mean
To do this.

Lavage is...

Positive!

Benton:
Call the o.R.
We're on our way up!

Doug, are you done?

Almost. Hang on.

I got it.

We have to take
Your son upstairs

To do an exploratory
Laparotomy.

What's wrong with him?

We have to control
The internal bleeding.

Oh, my god.

I need you
To sign a release form.

Just don't let him die.

We do this every day.

He has a good chance.

Hold that elevator!

Connie, cover my patient
In trauma one.

You're leaving
Mid-shift?

Everything is
On the chart.

Where you going?

I'll be back
In an hour.

Carter:
Pulse is 80.

Chuny:
Second unit's in!

Benton:
Hang the
Second one.

Don't let him die! Please!

I need you
To sign here again.

Just don't let
Him die... Please?

I understand.

Please don't
Let him die.

Turkey burger, please,
No onions.

What kind of salad
Dressings do you have?

Caesar, ranch, italian,
Lo-cal italian

Bleu cheese,
Honey mustard, catalina

Oil and vinegar
And poppyseed vinaigrette.

I'll have the soup.

So...

So.

Enjoying your year?

It's been educational.

Mm, I bet.

Thoughts of staying
Come fall?

I've entertained
The idea.

Good.

Is that what you wanted
To talk about?

No. No, not exactly.

Must I guess?

Well, there's no way to say this
But flat out, so here goes.

Lizzie, our
Relationship

Has not moved
In a direction

I would have liked.

Now, partly that's

Because I have trouble

Communicating
These types of feelings

But the fact is I find you...
Very attractive.

Dr. Romano...

Let me finish.

Now, I don't know

What your long-term
Plans are

And I'm not foolish
Enough to think

That colleagues can have
A romantic involvement

Without...
Entanglements

But we obviously
Have a lot of
Common interests

And we share the same
Insane schedule

And it makes sense

So I would really like you
To consider, uh, a date--

Going out with
Me on a date.

What do you say?

I'm flattered,
Uh... And shocked.

Really? I would
Have thought

You could see
Right through me.

No. No, not at all.

Uh, however, um...

Seeing as I-I do
Work for you

I don't think it would
Be such a good idea.

Oh.

Uh, not that under
Other circumstances...

Oh, oh. Oh, I see,
You-you have a policy.

Yeah, yes.

No fraternization
With people at work.

Oh, well, okay,
I respect that.

Uh... Just pretend
I never said anything.

I'm sorry.

Oh, hey! Huh, I, uh...

Had to give it a shot.

You know what's funny?

For a while there, uh...
I really thought

I was competing
With peter benton.

Can you open your fist?

( mumbling )

How about your fingers?

Just... Do that?

( mumbling )

How about now?

Just your fingers...

What are you doing?

Weaver said to examine him
Like he's any other patient.

By pinning
His arm down?

I'm trying to isolate
Finger motion.

You're not afraid
Of hurting him?

Actually, yes.

( mumbling )

He's been trying
To tell me something.

Head c.T.'s normal.

No subdural bleeds.

No sign of brain abnormalities.

Hey, he opened his hand.

How about that?

Oh, he's got a bad lac.

Yup.

He might have
Cut a tendon.

They didn't teach this stuff
In med school, did they?

I guess we can call

A hand surgeon
Down here.

What did you do?
Nothing.

Is he having
A seizure or something?

I-I... I don't know.

The x ray indicates you have
What we call atypical pneumonia.

What does that mean?

Well, there's
Several kinds.

You don't by chance have any
Birds in the house, do you?

How did
You know?

Psittacosis pneumonia
Is carried by small birds.

What? Is it a parakeet
Or a dove?

A falcon.

A falcon.

Only thing daniel
Loves more than me.

That's not true.

I wanted italy

For our honeymoon.

He didn't want to leave sinbad
That long.

Who was going
To feed him?

What does he eat?

Partridges.

It's not pretty.

He doesn't eat them alive.

We kill
And clean them first.

That's where I come in.

Well, that's probably how
You contracted the pneumonia.

I'll get a blood test
To see what type

But we can treat it
With antibiotics.

Funny.

I thought I was
Covering the e.R.

( sighing ):
I was there,
So I took it.

What happened
To your post-op notes?

You know, I thought we
Were past these games.

Excuse me?

The adolescent
Competition.

He was in bad shape.

Give it a
Rest, huh?

I was simply
Commenting on...

You don't

Simply do anything, elizabeth.

Is something the matter?

The boy could bleed out.

I mean with you.

Has something happened

Since this morning?

No. I'm fine.

Dr. Benton.

I didn't know
You were working today.

Yeah, I am now.

Glad to hear I'm not
The only surgeon without a life.

Six-year-old male

Sustained a splenic
Fracture...

Bus tour?

Sandy mader?

Yeah.

Hi. I'm carol hathaway.

We spoke on the phone
About your ex-husband.

Look, I'm sorry.

I can't help you.

Just go right on.

I'm working, okay?

Look, I don't pretend
To know the history here.

That's right.

I just... Your ex-husband
Isn't going to make it

Through the night.

Paul walked out
On us, okay?

Here you go. Bus tour.

He couldn't hold a job.

He couldn't handle it,
So he just left.

I feel bad
For him, I do

But he's not part
Of our lives anymore.

All he wants to do
Is see molli.

He was never
There for her

But now he wants her

To hold his hand
And watch him die?

You really want him
To die alone?

Who are you?

This is none
Of your business.

I'm not putting my daughter
Through that, all right?

I understand
How you feel

And you don't know me,
But trust me

You're making
A mistake.

I was a little girl

When my father
Was dying in the hospital

And I couldn't see him.

I wasn't given a chance
To say good-bye.

You think
You're protecting molli

But she'll have

To live with this.

Did you know him?

Your father--
Did you know him?

I remember him.

Molli won't
Remember paul.

She has absolutely
No recollection of him, okay?

Now, I'm sorry,
But he chose this for himself.

Has anyone seen carol?

Uh, she had some
Administrative stuff upstairs.

On sunday?

Something
About payroll.

Mr. Canterna
Is asking for her.

He needs 40 lasix I.V.

I'll get it.

Kerry, your labs came back.

Mrs. Weinbach tested
Positive for hiv.

No, mrs. Weinbach
Is the older lady with the bird.

Yeah, I made them redo it.

I-I asked
For cold agglutinate

And antibodies, not hiv.

Are you sure?

It was marked
On the form.

Oh, my god.

It makes total sense.

I don't know why
I didn't think of it.

You want to do
Another one?

No, I can't do an hiv test
Without consent.

So now what?

He's been on methadone
Since birth?

Yeah.

No interruptions?
You haven't stopped and started?

Uh-uh. No.

Seven months is a long time.

Pretty tough
On neurological development.

They say to give him less,
But it doesn't work.

You still using?

What does that
Have to do with it?

If you breastfeed...

I don't.

Your baby has... A high fever.

He's sweating;
His pupils are dilated.

He has an abnormally
High heart rate.

These are all signs
Of withdrawal.

Now, why would that be?

I don't know.

You're the doctor.

When was his last dose?

Yesterday.

I ran out. My
Clinic is closed

On sunday, so I came here.

You want methadone?

It's what he needs, right?

You don't need it?

What are you
Talking about?

You're using your baby
To get methadone.

You're crazy.
I can get that for free.

If you're clean, you can.

You come here
When you can't score.

I don't need this.

He needs to be admitted.

No way. You'll call the cops.

You come in here
With this story

Because no place else
Will give you the stuff.

If you leave here

That baby won't get
The treatment he needs.

Then give me some
And let me go.

Until next time?

Vicky, you addicted your son.

You strung him out.

Don't you
Think it's time

To do something right?

( baby crying )

We should wait
For his family.

Someone will
Look for him.

What if he's
Homeless?

He couldn't survive
Out on the street alone.

The cops are checking
The neighborhood now.

He can't live
That far away.

Hey, take it easy.

Take it easy.
It's okay.

Why does he keep banging
Like that?

Maybe he is trying
To tell us something.

( mumbling )
I'm sorry;
I don't understand.

( mumbling )

What is that? Ring?

Ring what?

A-a-a phone?

You want us to
Call somebody?

Lie still if that's
What you want us to do.

If you want us to...

Yes.

Four?

Four, four, four what?

You giving us
Your telephone number?

Yeah, yeah.

Four is

The first number?

Yes, yes.

Here. Thanks.

Then what?

Four, then what?

Then two.

Two?

Yeah.

I'll tell the father

And I'll, uh,
I'll meet you in recovery.

Hi.

Yeah.

Your son sustained
Irreparable damage

To the blood vessels
Supplying his spleen.

Okay.

We had no choice
But to perform a splenectomy.

But... He's alive?

Yeah, yeah,
Oh, of course.

Oh, I'm sorry.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Thank god.

Look, in time, he'll
Make a full recovery.

Now listen to me.

He's going to be prone
To certain infections.

He's going to need to
Be vaccinated against...

Just... Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Yeah.

I made a mistake
About the birds.

You may have what's called
Pneumocystis pneumonia.

Is that worse?

Well, we need a sample
From your bronchial tube

To confirm it's p.C.P.

But since it's the defining
Illness of aids

We should do
An hiv test.

Aids?

That's a good one.

We need
To be sure.

You don't know loretta.

Can I speak with her alone?

Why?

No, it's all right.

Daniel's practically
My husband.

To tell the truth...
We made a mistake.

We need
Written consent

From our patients
To test for hiv.

However...
We tested you by accident

And it was positive.

I don't understand.

No, it's a mistake,
A mix-up.

Perhaps another test
Would remove any doubt.

I'll take care of this.

Doctor...

Just give her something
For the pneumonia

And we'll go.

I can't do that.

Don't make me report you.

Excuse me?

You tested her illegally.

Yes, but it would be unethical
To let her leave untreated.

I don't want to burden her
With this.

Have you been tested?

We're not talking
About me, all right?

There are drug programs

That would drastically
Enhance both your lives.

Can't you say they're...

For something else?

I think you should find a way
To explain it to her

Or I'll have to.

You disappeared on me.

I needed
To check on something.

Molli's still not coming?

I'm afraid not.

It's okay.

It's better this way.

She shouldn't see.

Do you want to write her a note?

I could take something down.

Yeah.

No, it's too late.

It wouldn't be fair.

I think she'd really

Like to hear something
From you, I really do.

I was going to make it up
To her, I swear.

I called her
A couple of times last fall.

You can guess
How that went over.

You know...

I figured it just needed time.

I'm so glad you called me.

I can't believe he was able
To give us your phone number.

Mr. Lorenzo,
I am so sorry.

I lost all
Track of time.

I got

Stuck with
The rejects.

( laughing )

Uh, I'm sorry.

John carter.

You understand him?

Katherine dunlap.

I'm mr. Lorenzo's
Personal assistant.

It takes a while
To get the accent.

Accent?

Slow, but I'll forgive them.

He says you're
A little slow

But he'll
Forgive you.

Thanks.

Uh, c-c-can you

Tell him that they need
To operate on his hand?

You just did.
He understands
English.

It's one
Of his many languages.

He's one
Of the leading experts

In hieroglyphics.

That's fascinating.

Liar.

I understood that.

Would you excuse me
For a second?

Thank you.

You're welcome,
Mr. Lorenzo.

Gamma.

Oh, john.

I'm sorry to bother you
At work.

What's wrong?

I'm not happy the way
We left things earlier.

Do you have a moment?

Uh... Yeah, sure.

Want to sit down?

No, thank you.

John, I respect
Your opinion.

If you think we should
Keep chase at the institute

I'll support that.

I can't guarantee you

That it's going to make
Any difference

But I'm not ready
To give up on him.

I never intend to.

Neither do I.

Well, I'm glad we've got
That straightened out.

Me, too.

John...

I understand the freedom

That comes with
Financial independence

But money or not

We're still your family.

I know.

You were always
Your grandfather's first choice.

He's much too proud
To come to you now

But he'd really like
You to come to him.

What are you asking me?

Finish your residency
If you must.

You can always

Practice medicine
Part-time.

But your family
Needs you, john.

We need you to
Run the business.

I don't know.

Please.

Think about it.

No. No. I don't need
To think about it.

Gamma, I can't.

I'm a doctor.

It's all that
I've ever wanted to be since...

Since your brother died.

Since I was a kid.

And there's
Nothing else for me.

You really love it
That much?

Yeah.

Yeah, I do.

Forgive me for asking.

I... I had to try.

I'll expect to see you

At your grandfather's
Birthday dinner.

You will.

I always wondered

What you'd be like
When you grew up.

( crying )

Hey, uh, connie,
Whose patient is this?

I think it's doug's.

Where's the mother?

I don't know.

Yeah, it's doug's.

Get him, will you?

Hi, sweetheart.

It's okay.

It's okay.

What happened?

Uh, I just found him alone.

Unbelievable.

This baby has a fever.

He's in heroin withdrawal.

The mother's been stealing
His methadone between fixes.

So she split?

I told her
To do the right thing.

Maybe she did.

Unbelievable.

It's okay, buddy.

Very good.

No. Please,
Leave it open.

Okay.

How much longer?

It's hard to tell.

Please.

Not long.

I'm scared.

I won't leave you.

Do you have things
You wish you did different?

Doesn't everybody?

You should fix it if you can.

Maybe.

Do you want me
To read you back the letter?

Yeah.

Okay.

"Dear molli:

( voice breaking ):
"You don't know me.

"I'm your father.

"I suppose I shouldn't
Even call myself that.

"You're the best thing
I ever did with my life.

"Leaving you was the worst.

"God knows I haven't done much
For you while I was alive

"But if there's
A place called heaven

"And they let me in

"I promise to always
Look over you.

"Please forgive me.

I'm sorry
I never got to know you."

Me, too.

I'm going to start
To worry about you.

First, you work
On a holiday.

Now, I find you alone

Standing out here
In the dark.

What are you
Doing out here?

Looking for you.

Well, you found me.

I have to admit
That brooding veneer

Is part of your appeal

But I thought I'd broken
Through most of it.

( sighs )

I'm supposed to be
At carla's restaurant

Celebrating
My son's baptism.

I see.

And you're here because...?

Ah...

I don't want to feel
Like an intruder, you know?

Like I have to share my son
With carla's boyfriend.

Do you?

He gets to spend
All the time with him.

How do I
Compete with that?

You're his father, peter.

You don't have
To compete.

Then I thought
I'd come and see you

But, you know, you had
That lunch thing, so...

Are you jealous?

Well, you know, your
Instincts were right.

Romano propositioned me.

Are you serious?

What'd you say?

I lied.

Said I don't
Date colleagues.

It's cowardly
Of me, I know.

Oh, that's okay.

I lied today, too.

What, about me?

Mm-hmm.

So much for a relationship

Without complications.

You know what?

Screw it.

Come on. Let's go.

Where?

To the party.
There's still time.

You don't have to prove
Anything to me.

Elizabeth, I know that.

Look, I just want to go.

Well, then you should go.

You should go alone
For your son.

This is his day.

Ah, yeah, you're right.

Hey, thanks.

Listen, um, if
It's not too late...

Hey, listen, I'll be up.

Are you kidding?

Hey!

Anna!

Hi, carter.

Want some cookie?
Yeah.

You off?
Yep. You?

Another six hours.
Bummer.

Did you discharge
Mr. Lorenzo?

Yes. He even gave me
His web site address.

Why? So you could
Feel like an idiot?

Max!

Hold on.

Oh, sorry.

( clears throat )

That's okay.

What time is it?

Uh, ten to 2:00.

You on call?

I'm waiting for carol.

She should be ready.

They called it
About a half hour ago.

Thanks.

Hey.

Hey.

I'll just be
Another minute.

That's all right.

Take your time.

( hathaway clears throat )

Tough one, huh?

You okay?

Yeah.

You sure?

Kept asking
For his daughter.

Never thought of it
Like that, you know?

Maybe he was asking for me.

Maybe he wanted to see me
And I never came.

Your dad was probably
In a coma, carol.

I don't know.

I've been living
My mother's version of it

For so long, I don't know...
What memories of him are mine.

What's her version?

Everything
Was all right--

That it was
An accident.

He was depressed, doug.

Well, maybe it's time
You talked to your mom about it.

After he was gone,
My mom used to go on and on

About how you can
Never depend on men.

( laughs )

Now she's
Head over heels

And I'm the one

Holding back.

How messed up is that?

( clears throat )

Keeps me on my toes.

I say I want time,
But the truth is...

I'm scared to death
Of losing you.

Don't be.

I'm so sorry, doug.

Don't be.

( whispering ):
I love you.

( whispering ):
I love you, too.
