Original subtitles

Stop!

- I need help. - Maggie?

Right now. She's lost a lot of blood.

We're going to trauma 1.

Pulse ox is dropping. Damn it.

Come on, Ms. Goodwin.

You saved my life.

I want you to promise me that you'll

tear up your resignation.

Gaffney needs you, Dean.

After I got sober, it took my family

a while to trust me again.

But they did, except my sister, Lizzie.

Hey, I know you really don't want to talk to me,

but love you.

Your spleen has been lacerated.

I can't, in good conscience, release you

back into police custody.

Thank you.

Who wants to be a doctor like his Uncle Rip?

He's a natural.

Yeah.

Who would have thought he'd like babies so much?

I don't like babies.

Just this one. Just you.

- Dr. Stano. - Dr. Ripley. Can we chat?

Yeah.

Your friend's injuries seem to be healing up.

Yeah. Yeah.

He's giving me hell all the time,

which is usually a good sign.

Yeah, well, unfortunately, it also presents a problem.

If the injuries he sustained from the fight are healed,

we have to discharge him.

You're going to send him back to jail?

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Sorry, that's just...

I understand his situation,

but I can't hold him any longer.

I'm sorry.

There's got to be something we can do.

Hey, Sully had a splenic lac when he came in, right?

Yeah.

OK, well, technically, whoever was

the ED surgeon when he was admitted

is still a consult on Sully's care team.

Which means they'd have a say in his care.

If you can convince them to have a different opinion

than Stano's, then they can mandate

Sully stay in the hospital.

Yeah. Yeah, you're right.

Hey, can I take a look at that?

Thanks.

Lenox.

What is that?

It's Goodwin's get well card. You sign?

Oh, thank you.

How about you, Mags?

I bought the card, Doris.

Really? You sure?

Because I've been telling people I did.

Yeah, I heard her.

She sounded pretty confident.

- Hey. - Hey.

So listen, about dinner tonight,

thought we'd go someplace special, Le Manchot Ivre.

Oh, that's pretty fancy.

OK, true.

But I thought we could reenact our first date.

I'll even spill wine on my shirt.

Mispronounce coq au vin.

Hmm?

Sounds good.

Great.

Incoming!

What do we got?

- No. - Sloan Hunter,

experiencing upper back pain.

- Lucas... - BP 130 over 80.

- No, no. - O2 is good.

She called 911 for back pain?

Yep.

You are only saying that because you are

lousy at your job.

The thing is, her on-call doctor is in the Maldives.

And Sloan doesn't like to wait in line.

Plus dividends.

And that's not even including dividends.

So, Ms. Hunter, could you describe your pain for us?

Lucas, I swear to God, if you get your group to divest...

All right, Ms. Hunter, we need you to listen...

I'm going to come to your house personally,

and I'm going to give you an enema...

All right, she'll call you back.

All right, let's try this again.

So where exactly are you experiencing discomfort?

I have back pain.

It started this morning, and it's only getting worse,

which is why I'm here for you to give me drugs

so that I can feel better.

Is that enough info?

Well, it's not really the way things work around here.

When you come in with pain, we try to figure out

what's causing it.

CAT scan, 1,500 milligrams of Robaxin.

Fine.

When can I have my phone back?

When I leave the room.

Dr. Lenox, hey, do you have a minute?

Ripley, good. Come with me.

We have twins in the ambo bay, and one of them

is having trouble breathing.

Why are they in the ambo bay?

All right, what have we got?

Powell and Elijah Hughes, 34.

Elijah had difficulty breathing.

He said it felt like someone was sitting on him.

They were able to get into the ambulance.

- But on the way here... - Elijah collapsed.

He can't stand.

And we don't have a gurney big enough

to get them inside the hospital.

Scissors.

Average run-of-the-mill case.

Transpo's working on a gurney.

- Vitals? - For which one?

Why don't we start with the one who can't breathe?

BP 85 over 43, O2 87%.

This ever happen before?

No, but Elijah has cancer, angiosarcoma.

We're supposed to have surgery here in three weeks at Gaffney.

There's no breath sounds in the bottom half

of the right lung.

We have a large pleural effusion.

Run and get 40 milligrams of Lasix.

- What's that mean? - Fluid in the chest.

Do you guys share lungs?

No. Two sets of everything.

It's just our hearts that are fused.

It's worse.

Can't breathe.

Elijah, look at me. It's OK.

Don't panic.

They're going to fix you.

I'm always looking at you. No choice.

Look, no more jokes, all right?

Save your energy.

I'll have to put in a chest tube.

We don't have a kit, only an OB pack.

That'll work.

We have to relieve the pressure now.

We'll do a finger thoracostomy.

They're joined at the chest.

How do we even know where to cut?

Figure it out.

We get it wrong, we puncture a lung or hit the heart.

We can't risk waiting.

His respiratory system is going to collapse.

We need a scalpel.

We'll do this together.

I'll listen.

You cut.

OK.

Now move the blade a little higher.

Remember fourth intercostal space.

OK, a little over.

Over again.

Hurry, please. He's choking.

You have to do something.

OK, stay above the rib.

- Please. - There. Go.

Any chance you can turn that way a little?

I guess I could try to...

No, you don't need to move.

You just almost died.

I think I had a few more minutes.

Sorry, did you call Dr. Hayes?

Dr. Hayes?

You know him?

By reputation.

Yeah, he's kind of a rock star.

Well, he's the one sawing us apart.

Wait, he's separating you two?

It's the only way to be able to access Elijah's tumor.

X-ray.

Well, how do we look?

Let us touch base with Dr. Hayes.

He's much more familiar with your case.

And we'll talk again.

- Fresh from Taipei. - Yes!

Did your grandma send these for the Lunar New Year?

Let me get one.

Oh, I dream about these every year.

- Thank you. - Mags?

No, thanks.

- OK. - Turning down free sweets?

I feel like I don't even know you.

She got to save her appetite for Le Manchot Ivre

tonight, right?

Hey, I just remembered I have to run some

blood cultures over to the lab.

She seems a little off today, right?

Hmm?

Maybe, but the nurses have been working hard.

Might just be tired.

Yeah.

Hey, Han.

Hi.

What are you doing here?

- Is everything OK? - Oh, yeah.

No, I'm good. I'm fine.

I... I came here to see you.

Hey, I'm Hannah's sister, Lizzie.

- Oh. - Hi. John.

Hey.

Wait, are... are you the boyfriend?

- Oh, no. - Oh, no, no.

- No. - No, no.

- Just like regular friends. - No.

- Got it. - Yeah.

OK.

- Well, it's nice to meet you. - You too.

OK. Yeah. I'll see you.

- Mm-hmm. - OK.

I got your message, and I was hoping we could talk.

Yeah, of course.

You know, I just need to finish up with a patient,

and we can have coffee in the café.

Sure. OK. Yeah. I'll grab us a spot.

OK.

Well, he said he'd be down momentarily, so... yeah.

You OK?

You seem nervous.

Oh, no.

No.

Just suddenly very aware of my hands.

Right.

Well, while we have a moment, I wanted to...

Oh, Dr. Hayes.

I'm Dr. Lenox.

This is Dr. Ripley.

Nice to meet you.

I heard you had a fun morning with my favorite duo.

Which room are they in?

Actually, before we go in, we wanted to discuss something.

We did an X-ray and an updated CT.

The sarcoma has grown exponentially.

The tumor has invaded the vena cava and spine.

Caused the pleural effusion in his right lung.

It's still a local invasion now,

but if it keeps growing at this rate,

it'll be to the heart in a matter of days,

and they'll be dead.

You'll need to move up the surgery.

To when?

To now.

Are you serious?

Do you have any idea the scope of this procedure?

We've been planning it for nearly six months.

So then you should be prepared.

We'd need to gather the team immediately.

I'm not even sure who's in town right now.

I took the liberty of making a few calls

while we were waiting for you to arrive.

Most people are able to make themselves available.

What did you say your name was again?

Dr. Lenox.

And do you have a first name?

Caitlin.

OK, then, let's update the twins.

And then we'll gather the troops.

- Dr. Archer? - That's me.

Sloan was asking, and I know this is going to sound

absurdly privileged and insane, if you have any kind of

protein wrap or... charcuterie.

Not since we changed chefs.

I know, dumb question, but had to ask so I don't

get freaking murdered in my sleep.

Mm. Tough boss, huh?

- Oh, she's a lunatic. - Ah.

Well, then, you know, why stay?

That barracuda in there has real influence, power.

I want that.

And if I hold my nose for a few years,

I'll be on the path.

I mean, why should these bastards get to make

all the important decisions?

I often ask that myself.

Speak of the devil.

Hello.

Sloan? Sloan?

Sloan? Sloan!

BP 68 over 38.

She's in V-tach.

Wait, what's going on?

I don't feel a pulse.

All right, get the crash cart.

What's happening? Is she going to be OK?

Charge to 120.

Clear.

Still no pulse.

All right, get lidocaine 100.

Charge 200.

- Oh, my God. - Clear.

She's back to sinus rhythm.

Blood pressure coming up.

What the hell was that?

You're saying once they're separated,

you want to go in through his side?

Yeah, to remove the tumor and repair the spine.

If I go in through the abdomen, I'm going in blind.

Well, the problem is the tumor

has invaded the vena cava.

If we go in through the side for you,

we could cause catastrophic bleeding that we can't control.

You ever seen this many alphas in a room at once?

What if we prepare for bleeding

with endovascular access?

How do you mean?

Occlude the aorta to staunch any acute bleeds.

Get vascular control from the inside out.

And then repair the vessel.

And where have you ever seen that work?

The Helmand River Valley in Afghanistan.

We got pretty good at finding ways to stop bleeding.

Creative.

But if we leave it too long,

we get distal ischemia or thrombosis,

end up with heart attack or stroke.

So we only use it intermittently.

Take it down periodically to allow blood flow.

Sam?

Yeah, that could work.

Look, we can troubleshoot the procedure all we want,

but what about numbers?

We're short doctors.

What's your specialty, Dr. Lenox?

General surgery.

But as I mentioned, I did a fair amount of vascular

- when I was deployed. - Great.

Would you be available to scrub in this afternoon?

Absolutely.

There's one.

I'm sure we can find others.

Still two creams?

Thanks.

It's been a while, I guess.

Yeah.

So how are you?

Dad said you've been temping at a law firm?

Oh, no, that...

that ended.

I'm back waitressing now at Cozy Corner.

Where Matt and I used to take hot pepper flakes

and crush them up and put them...

And put them in the salt shakers and then

watch people freak out when they put it on their food.

- Yeah. - Oh, my God, we were terrible.

You lost me a lot of tips.

You know, I'm really glad you came by.

Me too.

I told him not to buy illegal fireworks.

Luckily, it looks like you jumped back just in time.

These look like second-degree burns, so with proper care,

should heal up in a couple weeks.

And the eyebrows?

They should grow back.

But I'm not going to lie, it might be a tough few months.

My girlfriend's going to kill me.

Look, I'll check back with you guys in a few.

All right? Thanks.

- Hey, Maggie. - Mm-hmm?

Let's get him dressed with Xeroform, please.

Yeah.

I hate holidays with fireworks.

So your heart issues and your back pain

both stem from an underlying issue...

an aortic aneurysm with a dissection.

And that means your aorta is ballooning out

and tearing right near your heart.

We'll need to get you in for surgery to repair it.

But then she'll be OK?

Provided the surgery is successful, yeah.

What does that even mean?

It means that while it's the best option,

it's a serious procedure.

The aneurysm is affecting the coronary arteries.

And that means that there's a high risk of heart attack

in the operating room.

So you're saying I could just die either way?

I'm not trying to scare you, Ms. Hunter.

I just want to make you aware of the risks

going into surgery.

OK.

Hand me my phone.

If you're telling me that I might only have

a few hours left on this Earth,

then there are some people that I would like to talk to.

Of course.

I'll leave you to it, then.

Good news.

We've coordinated with your team,

and we can move up the surgery.

That's amazing.

To when?

We're still finalizing some things,

but hopefully by this afternoon.

However, there are some added complications.

The progression of the sarcoma

means we'll have to resect the tissue

around Elijah's spine and the vein

bringing blood to his heart.

Powell's chances of survival are unchanged.

But Elijah's...

What... what are my chances?

I would say less than 50%.

Then we're not doing it.

Powell, I know you don't think we should...

We're not doing a surgery where the likeliest

outcome is you dying.

If the cancer is untreated, it will spread.

It will kill you both.

So we'll do chemo or radiation.

I know that this is scary, but we've been over this.

Angiosarcoma doesn't respond to that kind of treatment.

It would take a miracle.

Well, that's just fine.

The fact that Elijah and I are alive to begin with

is a miracle.

Right?

So we'll just bet on one more.

Well, what about you?

Are you... are you seeing anybody?

No.

No, I was...

I was kind of seeing this woman for a while,

but I broke it off because she doesn't want kids,

and I really do.

Mm.

In fact, that's actually something

I've been working on for the last year or so,

doing IUI and then IVF.

Lizzie, that's amazing.

You're going to be the best mom.

Yeah, except it hasn't worked.

I was actually sort of hoping that maybe

you could help me out with some medical stuff.

Yeah, of course.

What do you need?

I need you to diagnose me with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Wait, you... you have PCOS?

No, but... but my insurance won't cover IVF.

And after the last cycle, my savings are

just pretty much wiped out.

But PCOS patients apparently get the same drugs.

So if... if you diagnose me and then

- you write me the script... - Lizzie...

Then I can afford another round.

And I really feel like I know some things

that I did wrong before.

So I think that this time, it'll take.

What you're asking for is... is medical fraud.

Are you going to lecture me about rules?

I'm not.

I'm sorry.

I don't want to... I don't want to take us back there.

It's just... it's just,

you know how much I've always wanted this.

And I want you to have this.

I do.

I can't jeopardize my career.

Sure, yeah, I get it.

It was a long shot.

Listen, I should get going.

No, Lizzie, there's...

I had something I had to get to anyway,

but it was so nice to see you.

And I'm so glad things are going so well for you, really.

Lizzie, that's...

So I may be completely off base here,

but I feel like something maybe is bothering you.

Why would you say that?

Well, I guess normally, we have a certain witty

repartee between us, a light banter, if you will,

which I've always kind of considered our thing.

But today, you don't seem to be enjoying it quite as much.

Well, maybe you need better jokes.

See, now, that can't be it.

Come on. What's going on?

I'm sorry.

I just... it has nothing to do with you.

It's just that, uh...

I'm breaking up with Loren tonight.

Wait, you're breaking up over dinner?

That's a terrible idea.

Why?

No, I... I want to end on good terms.

And I want to give him a chance to say what he needs to.

And we have to work together.

Mm-hmm.

I don't want it to be weird.

Oh, it's going to be weird...

for you, for him, for all of us,

no matter what he says.

All right, so skip the dinner.

Just get it done fast.

You know, I'm regretting talking to you.

I'm just saying, all right, it's like a Band-Aid.

- Mm. - Get in. You break his heart.

Get out.

All right?

Frustrating, everyone moves heaven and Earth

and then the patients decline surgery.

Did you need something?

Yeah, actually, I've been wanting to talk to you.

I was trying to find a better time,

which this obviously isn't.

What is it?

I want to discuss my friend Sully.

- Up on the seventh floor? - Right.

Well, he's being discharged tomorrow,

but I'm not sure I agree with Dr. Stano's assessment.

I feel we could do another CAT scan,

make sure he didn't develop a splenic artery,

pseudo aneurysm.

Feels like a reach.

But you know that.

Your friend goes back to jail if he gets discharged, right?

Look, he's like a brother to me.

And I can't just sit here and watch him get ripped

away from his family again.

So if you could just talk to Stano.

Sorry, the answer's no.

You're letting your emotions cloud your judgment.

OK, I get emotion is a vice for you.

So take emotion out of it.

Make it about standard of care.

Where do you think Sully's going to get better treatment,

here or Cook County?

The care he receives in jail isn't my purview.

I can't solve all the world's problems.

I'm not asking you to.

Just this one.

Look, I'm just saying, if you at least suggested

they run more tests, it would pause things,

buy him a little more time.

Because there'd be no consensus.

Exactly.

If nobody agrees, they can't discharge him.

We need to talk to the twins again.

What?

Goodness.

Look at the time.

What is that?

It's a Patek Philippe Twenty-4.

- I just looked it up. - It's diamonds?

- Yes. - Looked it up.

Where... where did you get that?

Well, I went in to check on that lady,

and she just gave it to me.

And I apologize.

I never should have said that.

Now, your son goes to DePaul, right?

OK, that's it.

That's it.

Everybody out.

I need to speak to the patient.

You're supposed to rest before surgery.

I am trying to tie up loose ends

before I go under the knife.

I might not have enough time left.

And there are things that I need to say.

To all of Chicago?

I know it may seem hectic.

But when my heart stopped, I had an experience.

So you saw God and you want to spread the word,

the pearly gates and such?

No.

I didn't see God.

But I did see where I was going.

And there was no white light.

Oh, you mean...

I'm going to hell when I die, Dr. Archer.

Hell?

Unless I can buy it back

with whatever time I have left.

Sloan's asked me to reach out to everyone she's wronged

to make amends.

Turns out, it's...

it's quite an extensive list.

Mind if we speak with you a minute?

If you're coming to talk to us

about seeing me socially outside of the hospital,

I accept.

Are we being discharged soon?

Not yet.

There's something we need to find first...

a consensus.

Like with the other doctors?

No.

Between the two of you.

I think we were pretty clear.

I think you were pretty clear.

You were mostly quiet.

I don't understand emotion very well.

So when I was a kid,

I would just say what I knew to be true,

no matter the consequences.

And there was a price to be paid for honesty.

My teachers hated it.

And other kids made fun of me.

And my parents, you know, begged me

to keep my mouth shut.

But when I tried that, it just made things worse,

because I was still ostracized.

And I just had this pit in my stomach

of all the things that I hadn't said.

Then I found medicine, this world where speaking up

is essential, where patients' lives depend on it.

And even if people still said mean things,

I was fine, because I realized that the price for honesty

is worth every penny because you get to live

a life without regrets.

Elijah, this right now is the most important decision

you will ever make.

And after today, you can't take it back.

Don't you want a say in it?

Listen, I'm happy you found your spirit animal or whatever.

But this is our life.

And we've made a decision.

So finish the papers to discharge us...

- Powell... - So we...

She's right.

We don't have a consensus.

What are you talking about?

You're opinionated,

and I go along with it

because you're strong and selfless.

And I never know what to say except to make a joke.

Elijah, we can't agree to this.

But...

I can't be the reason that you die.

I can't just sit here beside you

knowing that I'm slowly killing you.

We need to do the surgery.

It's just...

I don't know how to live without you.

I know.

I'm awesome.

But you know I'm right.

OK.

What he said.

Excuse me.

Quite the crowd. Have they started?

No, they're still setting up.

The red caps are Powell's team, yellow are Elijah.

Hey, any luck with Lenox?

Trying to build up the courage to tell Sully.

Hey, how was coffee with Lizzie?

Well, she wants me to diagnose her with a disorder

she doesn't have so I can prescribe her medication

she doesn't need so she can get pregnant.

I say don't do it.

She doesn't talk to you for, what, five years,

and then shows up just to use you?

- Screw that. - I don't know.

It's like, I can't be her doctor

and her sister at the same time.

So then don't.

What do you mean?

I mean don't.

Forget about being her doctor.

Just be the best version of her sister.

And if that's not good enough, then that's on her.

Ladies, gentlemen.

All right, I think we're ready.

What about you two?

Ready?

Well, I guess it'll be good to finally get some privacy.

See you on the other side.

Yeah.

See you.

Hi.

OK, so the surgery was a success.

She should make a full recovery.

And you'll be able to see her in a few hours.

Oh, my God, I was so nervous.

I'm so glad, especially after all the smack

I talked about her earlier.

- And then she was so nice. - Mm.

I felt like the worst person in the world.

Well, you're not.

And now you don't have to worry.

Hey, can I ask you something?

Yeah.

Do you think it matters why people change?

Like if they're only doing the right thing out of fear?

I... I think that if...

if you have a moment of clarity

and you see a better version of your life,

don't ask too many questions.

Just run at it, and don't look back.

Yep.

Hey, you got a second?

Mm-hmm.

Oh, I'll give you a minute.

I didn't realize that you were...

It's nothing you haven't seen before.

Going to get changed for dinner?

I was thinking that maybe we could skip it.

OK.

You know, you're amazing, um, obviously.

I mean, just going back to the restaurant

where we had our first date, and I appreciate

how thoughtful and romantic you are.

I think we should break up too.

Wait, you want to break up?

No.

But I can tell you're not feeling this.

You know, I told myself that

maybe it was stress or something, but...

but it's been evident for a while.

I'm not wrong, am I?

No, you're not wrong.

Yeah.

I really wanted it to work, to be right and...

Wait, you're leaving?

You don't want to talk about this?

I can't change how you feel.

It did have its moments, though.

I hope you find what you're looking for, Mags.

You too.

They blacked out the Bulls game.

You think I can call the station?

Do, like, a Make-A-Wish thing?

Get them to air it?

Don't love that look.

Guessing no luck buying me some more time here.

Look, I was...

I was trying to talk to a colleague, but that...

that didn't pan out.

But I have... I have a call in with a lawyer.

And there's another colleague I can...

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down, slugger.

We knew this was coming.

And honestly, the fact that I got any time at all,

I mean...

I got to hold my kid, sit with Lynne.

You gave me that.

So stop feeling guilty.

And today isn't tomorrow, right?

So might as well enjoy it.

Yeah.

You know, Lynne's coming by later

with something I've been meaning to give you.

You should... you should come up.

Yeah.

Sounds good.

Arterial cannulas in on both, venous in.

Everything looks good.

Start bypass.

Let's get cross-clamps ready.

Amazing, isn't it?

Yeah, their hearts beat in unison.

See that band of scar tissue?

It conducts electricity between them.

Powell's heart acts as a pacemaker for Elijah's.

It's hard to imagine being that close to somebody.

Something to shoot for, though.

We're on bypass.

Ready to cross-clamp.

Arterial cross-clamp in.

Administer cardioplegia and stop the heart.

What's happening?

Powell's pressures are steady.

The venous flow is decreased.

Venous pressure still dropping.

The sarcoma must be invading the vena cava

more than we thought.

Flow still stable on Powell.

We need to recannulate the venous line,

- go around the tumor. - It'll take too much time.

And the risk of stroke will be through the roof.

It doesn't matter.

If we don't do this now, Elijah's not going to make it.

Scalpel.

So what's up?

So I thought about what you said.

I can't diagnose you with something you don't have.

But I wanted to give you this.

25 grand?

I can't accept it.

Yes... yes, you can.

You know, growing up without Mom was...

I mean, it was hard on all of us.

But secretly, I always felt a little guilty

because it wasn't as hard on me.

Not because I didn't know her, but because I had you.

You always took care of me, made me feel safe.

It would be a tragedy if you never got to be a mom.

So I will do everything I can to support you,

because you taught me that that's what sisters do.

Thank you.

Oh, my God.

Look at that.

What? What?

Why are you looking like that?

Did you not get all the cancer?

No, it's not that.

Powell.

Though the initial separation was successful,

when he came off bypass,

your brother suffered a massive stroke.

His brain swelled and herniated.

No, no.

We did everything we could, but he lost all function.

Powell!

He's on life support now.

Powell!

Elijah...

he's gone.

Sorry.

No.

No.

Bring me to him.

I don't want to be alone.

I don't want to be.

Hey, you did the right thing.

If it weren't for you, they'd both be dead.

I was thinking about your friend Sully,

and you were right.

We... we should run more tests.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

A CT angio should get us a bit more information.

And he'll just have to stay in the hospital

a little longer.

Thank you.

OK, now you're just making excuses.

Where is that cap table?

Sorry, I'm looking.

Ah, what is going on?

I was giving post-op instructions, but...

I'm going to have to call you back.

I'm not going to let you end my call again.

I learned my lesson.

Oh, did you?

What happened to making amends?

I figured you'd just given me a new lease on life.

I have 40 years to atone.

But my shareholders' meeting is next week.

We got to keep our eye on the prize, right, Meg?

Yeah.

All right, then, so regarding your recovery,

there's a few important rules for the first few days.

No lifting, no pushing or pulling over 10 pounds.

Hey.

Meg.

Are you writing this down?

- Meg? - Yeah.

I... I mean, no, actually, no, I'm not.

What?

Sorry, it's... just I...

I quit.

You almost died today.

And now you're back to being the same horrible person.

And that's not even why I'm quitting.

I'm quitting because out of everyone

you tried to buy back today, I was the only one

in the waiting room.

Yeah, for all your money and your power and influence,

no one would have cared if you died on that operating table.

And I thought I wanted what you have,

but you have nothing.

I think I found a moment of clarity.

I think you might need to write this down.

It's freezing up here.

It'll be worth it.

Just saying it's supposed to start, like, soon, right?

Hey.

Hey.

What are you doing up here?

Don't you have a dinner to go to?

I ripped off the Band-Aid.

Ah, that's tough.

Sorry.

Hey, all right.

Told you it'd be worth it.

I thought you hated any holiday that had fireworks.

Yeah, well, I guess I'm turning over a new leaf.

Kind of perfect with the New Year.

Yeah.

New Year, new you.

Mm.

Hey, I got good news.

I think we bought...

I wasn't here.

They said he had a... a blood clot,

and... and it happened so fast, they couldn't save him.

- Hey. - And I wasn't here.

- Hey. - I wasn't here.

Yeah. It's OK.

I wasn't here.

It's OK.
