Lilith!

Sheriff! Sheriff Mills!

It's okay.

I'm right here.

I'm right here.

You don't have to
fight it anymore.

What is it?

We lost another one.

I'll go tell Dr. Forrest.

It was Dr. Forrest.

This thing's getting
too big for us.

We need help.

ORIGINAL AIR DATE ON NBC: 2004/11/05

We've got a bad one on our hands.

- How bad?
- Don't bother sitting.

We're leaving for Deering,
Virginia in ten minutes.

Never heard of it.

It's a small town
two hours from here.

And getting smaller, fast.

Three people dead,
12 more presenting.

What are the symptoms?

It's a rapid onset of fever,
chills, headache,

muscle and eye pain.

Followed by a cough that becomes
more productive and blood-tinged

until the lungs fill up with fluids

and the victims die
of respiratory arrest.

So they drown in
their own fluids? / Yeah.

Sounds like we're looking
for something viral.

Could be, but for now, let's
keep all our options open.

What about a toxin?

maybe carbon monoxide exposure?

Not likely.

It wouldn't produce
fever, chills and shaking.

Bacterial?

Could be legionnaires'.

Lots of people were down
at once from that.

Whatever it is, it's Kick-S
with a short incubation period.

Early reports say the onset
is rapid, one to two days.

Progression to death,
Two to three.

What does the local doctor say?

Unfortunately, he was
the third to die.

Who called NIH?

Town sheriff, named Mills.

From the cracks in his voice,

I'd say he's undermanned
and overwhelmed.

Deering is pretty isolated
from surrounding communities.

Hopefully, whatever this is
hasn't spread from there.

Key word. Hopefully.

I want everyone on prophylactic
doses of antibiotics and antivirals.

Load up the SUV with amantadine,
a spectrum of antibiotics,

I.V. solutions, culture materials
and protective gear.

Sounds like we're going
back into combat.

We are.

But this time, we don't know
what we're headed into.

Load up.

DEERING, VIRGINIA

Only one thing spreads faster
than an outbreak like this...

Yeah. Fear.

Where is everybody?

Before he died, the town doctor
quarantined anyone

presenting to an old hospital
on the edge of town.

How long has this place
been shuttered?

Three, four years now.

What happened to it?

Same thing happening to
small towns everywhere.

Population dwindles, tax base shrinks,

malpractice insurance increases.

Couldn't afford to keep it open.

Dr. Forrest was the only
one who stayed.

Lord knows we could've
used him now.

I thought you said there were
only a dozen sick. / There were.

What percentage of
the population is down?

I'd say less than ten.

Ten percent? / So far.

I want oxygen and masks
on all the patients.

I want gloves and gowns
on anyone attending.

Miles, triage these patients.
Draw blood. / All right.

Powell, get some deputies,
go door-to-door,

look for anyone
who might be presenting.

If they are, get them down here
as soon as possible.

- Got it.
- Emily, calm down.

Don't tell me to calm down.

If Dr. Forrest is dead, then
who's gonna look after my boys?

Hi, there.
How can I help you?

Are you a doctor?

From the national institutes of health.

NIH?

What's happening, Arnie?

That's why we're here
to try to find out.

- What's wrong with your sons?
- Uh, fever and chills.

They haven't been able to keep their
food down for a couple days.

Hey, guys.

My name's Dr. Connor.

You guys can call me
Stephen, okay?

You guys look too strong to be sick.

Can I see your hands?

- I just want to check something.
- Go ahead.

All right, let me see your hands.
Are you ready?

one, two, three, squeeze.

Wow, that's a good, strong grip.

Let's see your arms now.
Come around.

You got some strong biceps, huh?

You guys must play
a mean game of football.

I quarterback, he tackles. / Yeah?

My son's a quarterback.

He started playing when he
was about your age.

All right, here's what
we're gonna do.

Why don't you guys stick around?

I'm gonna get a doctor over here
to see if we can help you feel better.

Get you back playing
on the field again.

Thank you.

Why don't you find a nice
comfortable spot for your sons.

I'll have someone come over
as soon as possible.

Okay, thank you.
Let's go. Come on.

Bye, guys.

Their lymph nodes are swollen.

They're burning up
with a fever, too.

Stephen, we can't handle this alone.

We need to get these people
to a working hospital.

That'd be Riverside memorial.

It's 75 miles of
single lane from here.

- We're not moving them anywhere.
- Look at the conditions.

There's not enough equipment
in this facility to properly treat a cold.

We don't know what
we're up against,

but with this percentage
of the population down,

this thing most likely transfers
from person to person.

We have to contain this thing here.

Eva, call the navy.

Get a rapid-response mobile unit to

chopper in equipment and
more personnel.

- And don't take no for an answer.
- I never do.

We need to see the deceased.

Lucky the AC still worked in here.

What's with the pictures?

Thought you might want to see
what they looked like before.

That's Dr. Forrest.

Who's that?

Name's Tucker. Owns
the local grocery store.

And down there?

Down there, that's
William Gulman, lawyer.

You know, if it weren't
for these photos,

you wouldn't know these men
were all white.

The blackening of the skin
can happen

in the case of severe
respiratory distress.

As they struggle for breath,

their blood vessels start
to rupture and hemorrhage.

The RR unit will be airborne
in 30 minutes.

You're a miracle worker.

I do my best.

Oh, my god. / Yeah.

- What are we up against?
- Could be anything.

There's no way I can do a proper
post-mortem here to find out for sure.

I'll have the RR unit
chopper the bodies,

the patient's culture,

the blood samples,

and you back to NIH.

I need an I.D. on what's
killing these people ASAP.

Stephen...

What do you got?

The lawyer's got a good-sized
laceration on his left hand,

looks like used sutures.
It was infected.

I assume the dead doctor
did the sewing.

Who was handing him the thread?

Lilith!

Donnie...

I can't breathe. / Okay.

I can't breathe.

Just calm down.

It'll, It'll pass, okay?

It's okay. I'm a doctor.

Let him help you, all right?

There we go. Now just try
and breathe in slowly, okay?

In and out.

That's it.

That's good.

That's good, Donnie.
You're gonna be okay now, okay?

Just relax.

Okay, now just lie back,
try to breathe normally.

I'll come back and check
on you in a minute, okay?

Thanks.

That's pretty damn scary.

That's certainly understandable.

I'm sure everyone's scared.

You must be one of the NIH guys.

Sorry. Uh...

My name's Miles.

Lilith. / Hi.

Are you really a doctor?

Yeah, I'm a doctor.

Can you guys figure out
what's going on?

That's what we're here for.

Well, we're really glad
you're here.

Thank you.

By the way, I never
would've guessed.

Guessed what?

That you were a doctor.

I mean, you hardly look
old enough to vote.

Well...

Lilith.

Dr. Connor needs to speak with you.

I'm not sure how I can help.

I'm not really a nurse.

I just answered the phone,
ran the doctor's office.

Did you transcribe
his patients' notes?

Sure. From his dictation.

Then you knew as much about what
was going on in his world as he did.

The first patient to
die of this disease, uh,

Mr. William Gulman.

Was he a patient of Dr. Forrest's?

Well, most all of us have been,
at some time or another.

Mr. Gulman was in to see
Dr. Forrest just last week.

I think he came in to...

to get a cut on his hand
stitched up.

Yeah.

Do you know where that cut came
from or how it happened?

The lechwe.

Sorry? Lechwe?

It's some kind of antelope.

Mr. Gulman was big into hunting,

all around the world kind of stuff.

Even though the cut on his hand
was really painful,

he was still was bragging that

day about the lechwe
he killed in Africa last month.

But the cut on his hand
is more recent than that.

Mr. Gulman was into taxidermy.

Mounted his own trophies.

Said he got his cut in

the workroom of his house
on the antler of his latest prize.

Did you see any other symptoms of
illness on Mr. Gulman that day?

That day, no.

But when he came in
a few days later,

he had a fever, chills...

and then it went from there.

Miles,

while I'm gone, you're in charge.

A navy RR unit is on its way,
but until they get here,

administer amantadine and
levofloxacin to anyone presenting.

Yeah.

Start Lilith and sheriff Mills
some amantadine also.

They've been around this thing
since the beginning.

I'll take care of them.

Can you use a hand?

I know everybody.
It may make them more comfortable.

That'd be great.

THE GULMAN RESIDENCE

You can just settle yourself...

right there.

This isn't what it looks like.

This is.

Look, I'm a doctor from the
national institutes of health.

And I'm the caretaker
of this property.

It still doesn't give you
reason to steal from a dead man.

I'm not. I'm trying to find out
what killed him,

so I can stop it from killing others.

Foolish old man.

Put down that gun.

We've been taking care
of this property

through three generations
of Gulmans.

We've been living out in the guest
house since June 3, 1938.

Two days after we got married.

So when did you first notice
that Mr. Gulman was sick?

I didn't.

This foolish old man did.

I was visiting my sister
over in Jennings for a few days.

Mr. Gulman started feeling under
the weather about a week ago.

Thought he'd caught a bug
on his safari.

But what hit him was more than that.

I took him to Dr. Forrest
a couple of times.

but once the chills set in
and he couldn't hold his food...

he didn't want to get in the truck
no more, which was fine by me.

The man threw up all over my seat.

and you know that's hard
to clean in this heat,

if you know what I mean.

He'd been sick for three days
when I got home,

and Mr. Gulman was coughing
up something awful.

There was even blood in his spit.

The doctor came and took him
to the hospital,

and the rest you know.

So you both took care of
Mr. Gulman when he was ill?

Hell, we changed his diapers
as a baby, why wouldn't we?

I want you guys to get down
to the hospital.

I want to take some tests.

You may have been exposed
to what made him ill.

We know what's going on.

And since neither one of us
is feeling bad,

we'd kind of like to
keep it that way.

Excuse me.

Connor. / Stephen,

I've isolated the same viral particles

from the lung tissue of the doctor,
the lawyer, and the grocer.

It looks like influenza-A.

This is not just a flu.

No, it's not.

I tested the viral particles
against a panel of antibodies

to identify the subgroup.

And? / None of the
antibodies recognized it.

Are you sure?

I ran it three times, Stephen.

Whatever it is, we're up against
an incredibly aggressive mutation,

one that we have never seen before.

Stanley, Iris...

I need you both to get down
to the hospital.

Excuse me.

Connor.

You've got to get back here now.

Donnie, no!

ET tube now. / Yeah, I got it.

Let me get in there. Okay.

Miles, intubator.

Coming in with it.

Hold on. Give it to mouth.

Come on, come on.

Hold still, Donnie.
Hold still.

Hold on, hold on.

Come on. Stay with me, buddy.

Stay with us.

Just try to hold still.

Come on. / Donnie. Donnie!

Miles...

Start chest compressions now!

Miles...

It's no use.

He's gone.

A mutated influenza is an
epidemiologist's worst nightmare.

I thought the flu mutated
every year. / It does slightly.

That's why there's a different
vaccine every season.

In 1918, an outbreak of influenza
swept across Europe and

the entire planet like wildfire.
It was called the spanish flu.

As quickly as it erupted,
it stopped.

Even though millions around
the world died from it,

word of its impact was minimal

because it happened during
World War I.

The spanish flu killed more humans
than any other disease of its kind.

To this day, they still don't
know where it came from.

Or where it went.

That's why when, SARS flared up,

the government in Hong Kong called
in the cavalry from around the planet.

They were scared it was back.

Do you think this could
be the same disease?

We don't know what this is.

No other cases have been reported

in any other hospital
within a 200-mile radius.

Natalie, what about the wild antelope
that infected the lawyer's hand?

Could that be the source of it?

I'm not sure yet.

The culture from the antelope
came back negative for the virus,

but positive for brucellosis.

What's brucellosis?

It's a bacteria found
in animal carcasses.

I found the same bacteria
in the hand wound.

A bacterial infection shouldn't
have exacerbated the influenza.

Well, Donnie was the
last patient to die,

and it went through him
in less than 48 hours,

So that means the incubation period

on this thing is shorter than we thought.

A bad flu strain will kill
some people in hours.

Others in days, others in weeks.

So we may never know if the doctor,
the lawyer or the grocer was patient zero.

But they're still our best shot
at finding out the source.

Eva, delve into the lives of
these three men, cast a wide net.

I want to see if anything
connects them to each other

- and everyone else in the town.
- Got it.

Miles, monitor the progression
of it. / Yeah.

Natalie, call every lab
doing viral research.

See if they have anything
that can help us.

I'll start with the local labs.

Dr. Connor...

she fell ill this morning.
She's burning up.

How are you feeling?

I'm 83. I haven't felt good in 15 years.

But today's worst than most.

Trenton. / Yep.

This is Mrs. Price.

Do everything you can to make
her comfortable as she can be.

Yes, sir.

This way, ma'am.

She always says I'm
a foolish old man. She's right.

I should have listened to you
and brought her in here yesterday.

If the wife has it, can the
husband be far behind?

We've got to find the source
of this thing and

make sure it never leaves this town.

All right, we get a culture
and swab the grocer's life.

You start at his store,

I'll go to his house.

Find out where he's been.

If he stepped foot out
of this town, we're screwed.

All right.

Man.

What?

You catching that?

Yeah, it's coming from over here.

Flies, lots of them.

That's never good.

Oh, man.

Damn.

What are you thinking?

Hong kong flu of '97
mutated from chickens.

Government had to slaughter over
a million of them just to shut it down.

The spanish flu?
also came from fowl.

Who's to say this didn't
start the same way.

Yeah.

Let's bag them and
chopper them to NIH.

"Foul's" definitely the key word here.

Hey. You okay?

The oxygen saturation in Emily's
two boys is lower than I'd hoped.

And I'm seeing respiratory distress in

more patients at this stage
than I'd like.

Other than that, everything's cool.

Come on.

I'll show you something
that'll make you smile.

Over 90% of the people in this
town were born in this hospital.

Donnie was and Emily's boys were.

And you?

I spent my first night
in this room right here.

This little town must have
been nice to grow up in.

I hated it.

In high school, I was so sure

I knew more about life than my parents

or any of these small-town hicks,

that the day I hit 18,

I bolted for the big city
and swore I'd never come back.

Yeah, I couldn't wait
to get away either.

Especially from my dad.

He's always preaching
these liberal values

but in reality, his whole life
was about making money.

I just wanted to make a difference.

Well, maybe, when you
grow up, you will.

Yeah, maybe.

So when's the last time
you went home?

It's been a while.

So what about you?
Why'd you come back?

Well, my dad got sick and I came
back to see him before he died.

He passed away upstairs.

I'm sorry.

You know people who say you can
never go back home again?

Sure.

They're wrong.

I spent my whole life running
from where I belonged.

And it's important that you go...

before it's all gone.

With all the shots and vaccines
and pills we see on TV,

I thought this sort of thing
was something of the past.

Like the stories of
communities getting sick

my mama told me when I was a boy.

How's she doing?

It's a battle,

but she's fighting.

Let me see your arm.

How are you feeling?

As useless as tits on a boar hog.

Your pulse is just fine.

So is she gonna...?

I don't know, Stanley.

We ain't been apart
hardly a day in 67 years.

We're gonna do everything
we can to help you make 68.

- How they doing?
- They're starting to cough.

You think you can help them?

Dr. Connor.

Natalie on line one.

We're doing everything we can.

Connor.

Unfortunately, colonel Sanders
has nothing to worry about.

The chickens are not the source.

Are you sure? / Positive.

They died of dehydration.
No one's been home to care for them.

I have tested every experimental

antiviral NIH and CDC has against
this mutated virus.

Nothing works.

Nothing kills this thing.

You better find something.

Emily Harris has started presenting.
So has sheriff Mills.

They're not the only ones.

Why didn't you tell
me you were sick?

People been asking me that
my whole life.

Yeah.

Listen.

I'm serious.

You were shorthanded.

I wanted to help while I could.

Well, you're done helping.
I want you in bed now.

Whatever happened
to dinner and a movie?

Come on.

Are you gonna be one of
those unruly patients?

Maybe.

- Well, at least take these.
- More antivirals?

Yes, and something that hopefully
will make you feel better.

I'm gonna be okay, Miles.

Yeah.

Now, go do your job.

You do it well.

Miles...

War room.

We're running out of time
and we're back to square one.

I think I may have found
something that can help.

Check this out.
I think she's onto something.

Okay.

I did my own version of an autopsy

into the lives of the doctor,
the lawyer and the grocer.

- Talk to me.
- I looked at everything,

billing records, workout
schedules, itineraries,

romantic and professional lives,

patterns, habits, vices, everything.

and I found one commonality
that's very telling.

What is it?

If their customers couldn't come
to their place of business,

they'd go to their customers.

Talk him through the details.

Okay, this map represents
our sick little town.

These blue dots are homes

where people live who
are exhibiting symptoms.

The yellow lines represent
grocery deliveries

made by Kenny Tucker
during the last month.

The green lines are house-calls

made by Dr. Forrest
during the same period,

and the red lines are clients

the lawyer dropped papers
and contracts off to.

They went house-to-house
infecting everyone.

Mutated viruses direct to you.

What's the story with
that house up there?

That's the only place that all
three went in the last month,

and they went there frequently.

Who owns it?

A woman named Michelle Carpenter.

Let's go pay her a visit.

Can't. She died three weeks ago,

but not of the flu.

She had brain cancer.

People said she was suffering
with it for years.

Just because she was
dying of brain cancer...

Doesn't mean she died
of brain cancer.

We need an exhumation order.

It's 2:00 in the morning.
Where are we gonna get one?

Judge Henry?

You know what time it is?

My name's Dr. Stephen Connor from
the national institutes of health.

NIH.

There's a potential epidemic
in your neighboring town of Deering.

It is vital I get an exhumation order
for a woman I need to autopsy.

Can't you wait till morning?

It is morning, and four people
have already died.

Well, we don't have any protocol.
There's no order to sign.

I can get you protocol
in the morning.

But with one phone call, you
can order the exhumation tonight.

And who would I call?

The cemetery manager.

His name is John.
I already dialed.

Look at her lungs.

There's evidence of fluid.

They're so consolidated,
it looks like her liver.

It's consistent with the flu
and the lung damage

of the other three victims
who were on this table.

That's why maybe cause
of death is flu or cancer.

If it wasn't the flu,
it would've been eventually.

Let's open her skull
just to make sure.

Okay.

Surgical area looks normal.

No indication the tumor
eroded into the brain vessels.

Or increased pressure to
herniate her brain stem.

I'll have to check the lung
samples to be sure,

but I'm betting cause of
death is the flu.

Forceps.

What do you see?

Radiation pellet.

Her oncologist must have been

using radiation implants
to try to cure her cancer.

Wait a second.

There're several of them in there.

You thinking what I'm thinking?

Besides attacking the cancer,

the radiation was strong enough

to mutate the flu virus into
a more aggressive virulent form.

Michelle Carpenter is
the source of the mutation.

I'll have to run the tests,

That's my call.

A mutation we don't
know how to stop.

Hey.

Hey, how you feeling?

Like going out dancing.

Maybe when you're feeling better.

Rest now. / Okay.

Natalie's test proves
the cancer victim, Michelle Carpenter,

was most likely the source
of the viral mutation.

And being good samaritans,

the doctor, the grocer and the lawyer

all caught it from her as they
stopped in to check on her.

Yeah, then they went out
and spread it all over town.

All right, so we know what this
thing is and where it came from.

But we still don't know
how to stop it.

History proves that nature is random.

Influenzas rise and then
vanish just as quickly.

Well, luckily we have
this one contained.

Are you sure about that?

Well, no one left Deering
who was infected.

We retraced the three men's steps

and all the people they
had direct contact with.

And?

And they're all here.

We're missing something.

A single mother takes
her kids shopping

at the end of an exhausting day.

A loyal employee going
above and beyond

gets infected trying to help others.

A couple that's taken care of a man

literally from cradle to grave
could end up losing their lives.

It's been right in front
of us the whole damn time.

What? / Stanley Price had close
contact with William Gulman

since the moment he got sick
till the time that he died.

He said the guy even
puked in his truck. / Okay.

His wife comes back
from visiting her sister.

She had limited exposure to
Gulman, yet she got sick.

Doesn't make sense, does it?

Stanley's the frailest,
oldest person in there.

Why didn't Stanley get sick?

So, Stanley,

tell me about your life.

You're looking at it.

Least, this last 67 years.

How you feeling?

I ain't feeling sick,

if that's what you're asking.

I mean during your life?

Tell me about your
history of illness.

Well, for a man my age,
I've been lucky, I guess.

Coughs, colds, the usual
things everybody has.

Suffered with a bit of glaucoma,

arthritis in the hands.

Prostate ain't worth a damn.

Left knee's been hurting since 1968.

How about as a child?

Well, measles, mumps, chickenpox.

The usual.

Mama said I was very sick though,

when I was only two.

Did she say what kind
of sickness it was?

Something bad swept through.

Said she thought she was
gonna lose me

because everybody that had
the same thing were dying.

Stanley, you were
born before 1918?

Two years.

I arrived April 1, 1916.

That's why Iris calls me foolish.

Born on April fool's day.

And Iris, she's younger than you?

Five years. Born in '21.

That mean something?

Natalie, test Stanley Price's blood.

- I already have.
- Do it again.

This time don't run it for flu virus,

test it for flu antibodies.

Antibodies?

Mr. Price, he was exposed as
a child to the 1918 pandemic.

The spanish flu?

And he's the only person with
repeated exposure to this mutated virus

that doesn't show any of the symptoms.

I'll call you back.

Connor.

You were right.

Stanley's blood has the antibodies.

Stanley...

you ever flown in a helicopter?

Why? / I need you to go to
our lab in Bethesda.

I can't do that.

I can't leave Iris, especially now.

Stanley, you may be the only one
that can save her life.

What are you doing?

Well, Mr. Price,

this machine's gonna help me take
several units of your blood plasma,

from which we'll strip your
antibodies, purify them,

then introduce them into
the other victims

as a form of passive immunity
to the virus.

We'll then immortalize your lymphocytes,

the part of your white blood cells

that are manufacturing the
antibodies to the virus.

so they can be used again,
in other patients,

as a form of passive immunization.

Do you know what she's saying?

It's like chicken pox or the measles,

how once you get them, you
almost never get them again.

This flu virus is close enough to the
one you were exposed to as a child,

that there's stuff in
your blood that fights it.

Dr. Durant is gonna take
some of it out and give it to Iris

and the other people who are sick and

hopefully it will make them get better.

Exactly.

Three vials, that's all?

Natalie busted her ass
to produce this much.

She said she'd have
gallons in 48 hours.

We don't have 48 hours, and
that's not enough for everyone.

Producing antibodies
usually takes much longer.

We're lucky to have
this much antiserum.

Lucky for whom?

For those who get to live.

Which brings us to the harsh
realities of rationing it.

Are you with me, Miles?

Yeah.

Rationing. I don't like
the term nor the concept.

We treat the most patients we
can with the antiserum we have.

Who gives us the right
to decide who gets it?

Who gives us the
right to play god?

This isn't about god or morals.

It's about being doctors.

Our job is to compartmentalize
our emotions

and rationally save as
many patients as possible.

And how do we decide
who they are?

By being dispassionate scientists.

Look,

we know there are those patients
in there with low viral loads

that will survive until
the next batch of antiserum.

That's the easy choice to exclude.

And then there are those in there
who are too far gone to save.

Patients that we could give it all to,
and they still won't survive.

It's the ones in the middle
that we give this to.

And we just ignore
every other factor?

Like what? / Like age.

Lilith is 24 years old.
She has her entire life ahead of her.

And I'm sorry, but
Mrs. Price is in her 80s,

and at best, we buy
her a few extra years.

We can't triage based on
potential life expectancy

or quality of contribution to society.

That can only leads
to passing judgment

on the value of someone's life.

But how can we ignore a value
that's so real?

Because we work with finites,

facts, measurable quantities.

Because we triage based on
medical necessity alone.

Look...

you've monitored the progression
of this illness

through these patients
more than anyone.

You make the call.

No, you should keep that on.

It messes up my hair.

So I hear there's not enough
medicine to go around.

No.

Make sure Emily's boys get some.

They will.

Lilith...

I'm not afraid, Miles.

You're gonna be a good doctor...

soon as you start looking
a little older.

And you tell your parents
you love them...

before it's too late.

Yeah.

Her fever's come down
and her lungs are clear.

So she's gonna be okay?

She needs plenty of rest, but yes,

I believe she's gonna
make a full recovery.

Don't look so surprised,

foolish old man.

You did good work, Miles.

Doesn't feel like it.

You ever wonder why I'm such
a son of a bitch at times?

Me and everyone else.

When I was about your age,

I could figure out any disease
they showed me.

I was young, invincible,
filled with promise...

and pride.

And then...

someone very dear to me came down

with a bacterial infection in their lungs.

Defied everything
the doctors threw at it.

So I flew home,

I told the doctors I can fix this.

I had to save this one person.

I couldn't.

See, nature doesn't care about

how much training we've had
or how smart we think we are.

Nature doesn't give a damn.

So my advice to you is this.

Either learn how to
deal with it or quit.

But I think you're too good
a doctor to walk away from this.

Dr. Connor?

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Come on, let's go.

Ready to go?

Yeah, I'll be with
you in a minute.

Hey, Dad. It's Miles.

Listen, I'm thinking aboutcoming home for a visit.
