A couple of men of leisure hitting some tennis balls on a saturday afternoon. That's us. Feels weird to me, you know... Scheduling my day around court times and martini lunches, nowhere to report? Does it feel weird to you? No, but that's probably 'cause I still have my job as a united states senator. Go on. Get up there. I'm serving. All right, these go. oh! yes! Sarah, that was on my side. I didn't think you had it. I know how to play tennis. It's gonna be a long day. Let's go, kev. Buck up. Here we go. I know technically, you're still working. But what's next? I mean, you don't have anything lined up? Don't worry. I'll think of something. You're the most ambitious person I'll ever know. That's why I can't figure out why you're so cool playing tennis on a saturday afternoon. Well, we all have to enjoy our lives. Love-15. Bring it on. ¶ right down to the bone ¶ yeah!
Nice try, babe. Don't patronize me. You know what? Maybe you're right. I mean, why am I so high strung? If you can handle the easy life, i'm sure I could. I just need to learn how to chill. Right? You need to learn how to play that net. Okay. 15 all. ¶ you might get away with it ¶ ¶ it's a risk, it's a risk, yeah ¶ ¶ too big for my heart ¶ oh! That's my partner! Nice shot, kev. Thanks, rah. That's what I'm talking about. You know what? That did feel good. I should play more tennis. Here we go. All right, kev. Let's do it. All right. ¶ a loss of the senses ¶ ouch. I had it. It was my ball. Why don't you play singles? ¶ they ride in your suit ¶ aha!
A point. Don't get cocky. Nice shot. ¶ don't think, don't think ¶ ¶ don't talk, don't think ¶ just out. What? No, no, no, no, no. There is no way that was out. Well, it was too close for me to call. I think it was out. Yeah, well, of course you do. What is that supposed to mean? Luc, come on. You question my tennis game, my parenting. Maybe you and my mother should play together, because it feels like you two are in agreement about a lot of things lately. Sarah, I think it was out. That's all I'm saying. You know what? Let me play forehand. Hey, you know, I have an idea. You guys have such a great history on the court. Why don't you guys play together? And, luc, you come over here for a minute. Fine by me. Works for me. A thousand thank yous. You kidding me? Been there. And there's my move, so it's your turn. aha.
Which move will it be? There. You see? You really have to think about this game. You have to strategize. You have to suss out your opponent. There! I took you. I like "galactic showdown" better. You fly space ships and shoot bad guys, just like uncle justin did in the war. It was so cool. He saved his friend by dragging him through the desert. And then there were real-life helicopters. He got to jump out of one once. It was so cool. Yes, I know. He was very brave. Okay. There, it's your move. King me, grammy! I'm not going to king you. You have to earn that. Don't you think? mmm. These biscotti are amazing. I feel like I'm sitting on a piazza in florence. God, I'm good. oh. mmm. Hello, boys. Ooh, working on our menu?
Kevin... You have to taste these biscotti. They're fantastic. I can't. I'm in training. I thought you were working on contracts. Where have you been, wimbledon? Maybe next year. I whizzed through my contracts, and then I tripped the light fantastic at the altadena country club. You're kidding. They let you back in after the incident? Oh! That was one stupid harassment suit from a disgruntled tennis pro. Oh, and guess what. What? Kevrah lives. Kevrah? Don't ask. You should've seen us on the court today, uncle saul. Like riding a bicycle. I was venus to sarah's serena. Were venus and serena drinking? 'cause you seem very relaxed all of a sudden. Mm. Actually, I did have a glass of wine with lunch. You know what I've realized? I've worked since I was 15. That's 23 years without a break. And for what? Money.
Yeah, and I'll work again, but right now, no one's exactly beating down the door to hire me. So you know what? This might be a blessing in disguise. No one actually needs my help, not even you guys. Oh, kevin, stop it. If you want to get involved in the restaurant, you can. I just assumed that you... No, no, no. That's your passion. Now I have my own passion. Really? And what might that be? Tennis. So if you'd excuse me, i'm gonna go and soak because I need to be nice and loose and limber for my big game tomorrow. Kevrah for match point. Walker serves. Aces. Crowd goes wild. Who knew unemployment could be so much fun? hey. Hey. How did it go? Uh, okay. Okay. Good call on the, uh, soup. She, uh, she really liked it. Oh, good. I'm glad. ohh. So...
Justin... Yeah. The house was amazing. I mean, absolutely amazing. A huge backyard, a swing on the front porch, built-ins in every room... It was perfect. Cool. I'd really like for you to come see it with me tonight. Uh, rebecca, listen, I was kinda hoping we could just chill and watch a movie. Okay, well, the thing is... I know I was supposed to be window-shopping, that the money should be back in my account by monday, and there were other buyers that were interested, so... I put an offer in. Wait. You made an offer? We don't have to pay them anything. Whoa. Time-out. Time... Rebecca, you made an offer on a house that I haven't even set foot in yet? No, I know. And, justin, obviously, if you don't like it, we're not... We're not gonna buy it. I just want you to come and see it with me. It's perfect and... This is crazy to me, rebecca. Well, I don't understand. What is so crazy about us wanting to buy a house together? I mean, I don't even know where this is coming from. You know what? Fine.
You don't get it. Then it explain it to me, because, justin, this morning, you said that you were fine and you seemed to be dealing with this. So obviously, this is hitting you a lot harder than you're willing to admit. Okay, what do you want from me? All right? My friends are dying. I'm having trouble thinking about houses and blenders. All right? Justin, calm down. And the degree I'm gonna get in seven years. Calm down. I'm sorry. I know that jake was your friend, but think about it. The last thing he would want you to do is stop living your life, and if you're trying to shame me into not wanting a comfortable future with you, then... Then you're right, I don't understand. All right. Fine. I-I have nothing else to tell you. all right, let's stretch it out. I got you. Really feel it. There you go. Okay, when I say "we are," you say "champions." We are... Champions. We are... Champions. We are... Champions. You in this, sis?
yep. You have to say it. Oh, yeah, sorry. To win it, bro. All right. What's up? Cooper's play date canceled. Mom's bringing him to watch the game. There is no way he's gonna sit still that long. Sarah, she raised five of us. Yeah, but we didn't have to deal with a strange frenchman moving into our house. There was that one exchange student. Look, she's, like, the child whisperer, okay? Let her focus on cooper. You focus on the match. We'll be fine. Okay. Okay? Go, team kevrah. Where are those guys? I don't know. You think we scared them off yesterday? Robert? Doubtful. Senator. Bill stanton. Good to meet you. It's a beautiful day for a good cause, wouldn't you say? Yeah, I'm... Just happy to be here to help out.
Yeah, you know, I was sorry to hear you're not running for reelection. Ah. You got a line on what's next? That's sort of the $1-million question. Well, don't tell me it's golf. That'd be a prime waste of national resources. Well, now, now. You should wait until you see my short game before you say that. Well, maybe we should play sometime. Maybe we should. It's a nice club you have here. You're not a member, are you? No, no. I'm surprised they let me in at all. I think I've passed bills with less paperwork. Yeah. Well, sorry about that. Bureaucracy, right? Indeed. Well, next time, call me up. I'll walk you straight in. Or I could join. I'd be glad to sponsor you. Here. Try my cell if you're interested. Thank you. Pleasure, senator. I don't want to watch tennis. Why couldn't I have just stayed home with evan and his nanny?
It's gonna be fun. Hold on. Hold on. I want to put more block on your nose. Here. Mom. You already lathered him up in the car. It's hot out. I missed his nose, justin. All right, never mind. Just wear this. How's that? no. You know, I wore a hat every day in iraq. You did? Mm-hmm. Everybody did. That's awesome. Did you also tell him you ended up in a hospital in germany? All right. Call it. No need. You can serve. Okay. So they have a great bar here. What do you want me to do? I ran into him. When it comes to bill stanton? Be rude and ignore him. He's the host.
It's his charity event. Right. So write a check. Don't schmooze with the prince of darkness, okay? I mean, what did he want, help on votes for a contract? We were talking about golf. I just hope no one got a picture, 'cause that would be bad publicity. I thought you didn't work for me anymore. For kitty, I mean. But you're right. I don't work at all. So let's play tennis. Mccallisterandlaurenttoserve, first set. ah. Ooh. Nice serve. 15-love. Where the hell did that come from? Lucky shot. That wasn't a lucky shot. That was an ace. Hey. Sorry rebecca couldn't come today. Yeah. Is she busy? Uh, yeah, yeah, she was. Hey, coop, while you're in there, you want to grab me a granola bar, buddy? Okay. Out. 15 all. yes. Grandma? Yeah.
Why do you have an umbrella? Shh. It's, um, it's not for the rain. It's for the sun. It's like your hat, only bigger, way bigger. Cooper, stop it. I'm just shooting luc. 15-30. Justin, would you grab that from him? You're the one who started it. What did I do? You think he got the idea to turn that into a gun all by himself? Uh, yes, mom. He's a boy. You take away the umbrella, he'll use a stick. You take away the stick, he'll use his hand. I had nothing to do with it. I'm gonna get a soda. Would you like anything? No, thank you. You should really knock that off. Cooper, stop it. 30 all. Hi, honey. How did you miss that? Sorry, I got distracted. Kevrah was undefeated in 17 years, okay? I'd like to keep it that way. oh. Nice shot.
40-30. Cooper, stop it. Cooper. Cooper. Cooper, what are you doing? Cooper. I'll handle this. He's throwing balls at the court. This is not cool. Listen, you talking to him now is only gonna make things worse. They're not gonna get any better if you keep butting in. What? He's my son. Yes, he is. And where do i fit in? Look, I don't know, but he already has a father, who, by the way, is not exactly thrilled about you, and obviously, neither is cooper. I'm stuck in the middle. I'm trying to figure it out. Well, you let me know when you do. Till then, we're not gonna be able to play as a team. Coop. Cooper. My... Sorry. It was an accident. Okay... Listen to me, that was no accident. The corkscrew, the swimming pool, this... None of it was an accident, was it, cooper? Hmm?
Okay, you're coming home with me. Oh, I... Mom, this is my job, not yours. Sorry, kevin. We gotta forfeit. What? Get outta here. ow! hey. hey. Come on. We're leaving. What, already? Who... Who won the match? No one. It was a forfeit. Come on. Well, where is cooper? He's with sarah, so let's go. What, you know what? Time-out. What... What's the deal? Are you mad at me or something? No, I'm not mad at you. I'm onto you, justin. Wh... You're on... The funeral, the dog tags, all these war stories to cooper...
I know where this is headed. Don't put words in my mouth. You want to go back to this hideous war. I don't want to go back, mom. I just want to... Don't lie to me, justin. I've been through this before. You went there twice. The last time almost killed you. Why would you go back? Your life is great. You're in med school. You have a wife who loves you. Yeah, and I love her, too, mom, and there's noth... You made a commitment to stay with her. You can't walk away from your life, justin. You can't. mm. that feels good. Wow. Andy roddick passed out on my couch. Roger federer's a better player. Yeah, but roddick is cuter. Oh, I'm flattered. But we both lost the big game. Well, I bet you played hard and gave it your all. Why are you being so nice to me? Maybe I feel guilty. I haven't exactly been paying attention to you lately. That's all right.
I'm not a child. Although I have been behaving like one recently. We're having a baby in seven months. I need to get a job, any job. It's not about the job. Okay, I need to make money. It's not really about the money either. You need a purpose. And it's not tennis. Can we just leave all the purpose to you, just for a moment? I really want you to open this restaurant. Maybe that's my purpose, encouraging you. Do you know what I miss? What? The old kevin walker... Who ran towards his purpose. So why am I running away from it now? Because you don't know what it is and you hate uncertainty. At least i'm certain of you. Now I know we talked about luc moving in, and you were excited about the idea of it. But now there's a whole new member of the family, and we think you might be finding it a bit challenging. hmm? It's different than what I expected. I get that. You know, for me, too. But he's here now, so it's time that we all learn... How we're gonna get along. Now I love luc, okay? So when you hurt his feelings, you hurt my feelings, the same way that I'd be hurt if somebody hurt you. You know what I'm talking about?
yes. Good. So do you have something you might want to say to luc? I'm sorry, luc. Thank you, cooper. Okay, now you go brush your teeth, start a chapter, and I'll be in to tuck you in, okay? I love you. Mwah. Nicely done. Thank you. I wonder if he's upset that he's not the man of the house anymore. You know, he used to... Come and cuddle and fall asleep and... He always had me all to himself. Speaking of cuddling... You know, I don't think cooper is the only problem here. I think you need to deal with your own issues. You're right. I'm so sorry. Okay, here's the deal... What if the only reason we've been deliriously happy is because we've been living in a fantasy? And now it's... Real. Yeah. Real is good, right? Real is real. It's paint colors and temper tantrums and... And the emotional lives of 8 year olds. I don't want to mess this up, luc. For me, this is...
This is a huge deal. And it's a huge deal for me, too. I want to be a family with you. But you think cooper's tough? Try living with a 13-year-old girl who hates you. You're so relaxed about it. I don't think you really have thought through the stress that children put on a relationship. What if it's just too hard? Now I can deal with you breaking my heart. But I can't deal with you breaking theirs. I'm not gonna break anyone's heart. But we don't know that, do we? I love you, sarah. And I'm not trying to be their father or anything. No, I know. But do you know who you do want to b your partner, a very positive role model for the kids. And for that, i'm gonna need to have my own relationship with them. Then we are very, very, very lucky. Hello. hi. What have you got there? Oh, I just wanted to thank you for taking care of evan for so long. Oh, don't be silly. I'm his grandmother. I love it. Oh, I know. That's why it's not cash. Oh. Well, thank you. Sure. So, um...
He's asleep in the living room right now in his playpen thingy. The nanny left right after we got back from the game. I'm just packing up all of his stuff right now. Okay. Robert, can I ask you something? Sure. Did justin talk to you about wanting to go back to afghanistan? Oh, god. He did. Look, nora... Oh, please tell me you didn't say anything to encourage him. No, I just listened. To what? Nora, the first time you enlist, it can be about a bunch of things. But if you reenlist, it's personal. It's about wanting to get back to people who you love and who understand you in a way that nobody else possibly can. Oh, that's easy for you to say. You're not going back to war. Well, we all go to war in different ways. But I don't want my son to go back to this war ever again. I understand. But that pull is awfully strong. And that's your son. Maybe you want to go take care of him. Oh, hey. Oh, my gosh. You would not believe the traffic out there. The 101 is... Is bumper-to-bumper ridiculous. Where's the little guy?
Oh, he's... He's... Oh, shoot. Just got him down. So... No, no, no. First of all, just tell me, who won the match? Oh, luc and I won. You're kidding me? You beat kevrah? Yes, in a forfeit. Wait a minute... Cooper had a meltdown, so sarah had to leave. oh. so? So... Here's to my endorsements. I got 'em both. That is fantastic. It was a long shot, but I worked my magic, and as soon as hix caved, I called mccarty and... It's like I always say. What? What do you always say? Never bet against my wife. Oh. Mm. So how was the rest of your weekend? Anything important? Nothing to tell. Rebecca.
Hello? hey. hey. ¶ it can be a real long road ¶ i, uh, I've been calling you. Yeah, I just needed to get out of the house so I took a run. At night? That's a little, uh, unsafe. Good thing I have reflectors on my shoes. oh. ¶ when you're on your own ¶ you want to talk? You know what, justin? I think you should do the talking. I don't know how to help you. Okay. ¶ it can be a real long ride ¶ rebecca, ever since the funeral, I've been thinking about how much jake and the other guys mean to me. And it's so much more than anything that's going on in my life right now. See, i, um... I don't think I want to be a doctor anymore. It just... It doesn't feel right. You know, it's all about being the best and... And not a team. And... There's one place where I felt like I belonged to a team... Where guys had my back. Don't. Don't you dare. No, no, look, let me talk, all right? Just because I'm feeling it doesn't mean I'm gonna act upon it, okay?
So talk. ¶ don't hold back ¶ i'm not happy. What? Is it me or... No, no. Is it the house? No, no, it's... Justin, i'm sorry I got so excited. I mean, that house would mean nothing to me without you in it. Rebecca, you don't have to explain all that, okay? 'cause you are the only thing that works in my life. You are the one true thing. ¶... Where you end ¶ I just want to feel... Like I belong somewhere else, too. ¶ when I'm looking in your eyes ¶ and you will. ¶ give me just one more chance ¶ come here. mom. I'm leaving. Mom? Are you trapped under something heavy? no. mom? ¶ don't hold back ¶ what are you doing in here? Nothing. ¶ when the time is right ¶ you're alone in the pantry. What is it? If you're upset about me and luc, don't be. We had a really good chat last night.
We're gonna be fine. It's not that, is it? No. I... I was just thinking. Oh. Okay. Sarah. hmm? I want to tell you something. Motherhood never gets easier, even when they're grown. No one ever told me that, and I... I just wanted to make sure I- I told you. Thanks, mom. Hiya! Hiya! What the hell is that? Oh, you gotta see this. It might even cheer you up. Come. Hiya! Hiya! Hiya! Hiya! Hiya! Hiya! So you must visualize the attack and use the move to defend yourself. Hiya! Hiya! Hiya! Hiya!
Hiya! Hiya! Hiya. Hiya. Hiya! Hiya! Hiya! Osu. Osu. Good job. What are they doing? Good job. Keep practicing. Having their own relationship. Again. Hiya! Hiya! Hiya! Hiya! God. I didn't even know mom was in town. Did you know she was in town? Yeah I did. She was visiting Eunice. - She called you? - Nora, I called her. The point is that... That she's doing great. It's a miracle that it's only a sprained ankle.
What the hell is she doing with her hair these days? Maybe she changed salons or her girl moved away. I remember... I don't know who you are. Your mother takes to wandering the streets, she gets hit by a bus and you talk about is who's doing her hair? Hospitals make me anxious. Hospitals or mom? Both. Mr. Holden. Dr. Lewis, hi. This is my sister Nora. Your mother's doing fine. Can you tell us what happened? We don't have much to go on. It wasn't until an hour or so ago that she was speaking coherently. Really? Can you... Tell us a little bit more about this disorientation? Tell me, how has she been? Has she seemed confused? She would call me and, with questions about things that I thought she should've known the answer to. Actually, the truth is, we both live here. - She lives in New Mexico... - Alone. That's gonna have to change. Disorientation like this is a serious problem... She's a danger to herself. She's a danger to others. God forbid, she has one of these episodes, she gets behind the wheel of a car... So what you're saying is that we should either send her to a home
- or, a live-in nurse. - I recommend 24-hour care. What that looks like is up to you and your mother, but I will say this... It may be more than either of you want to take on by yourselves. But I cannot release her until I know what your plan is. - Thanks. - Thank you. Just take your time. So who gets to tell her? Wake up. - What is it? Is it Evan? - No. Evan is fine. Evan is asleep. But you are not gonna believe this. It started. - What are you doing up? - I've a fund-raiser in Anaheim at 8:00. Do you not remember anything? I mean, come on, Robert. Get with the program and read this. "Too sick to serve"... All about my cancer, all about your heart attack. And they use the word "hubris" a lot. Bummer. Did you just say "bummer"? This is exactly the kind of thinking that just cost you a job. - Wow - Yeah, right?
Carver hit a walk-off in extra innings. I shouldn't have turned that game off. You're talking about baseball? Honey this is serious. - What do you wanna do about it? - I can think of a couple of things that I would like to do about it. Why are you taking this lying down? Because it's 5:30 in the morning. Just let this go. That's it? That, and I've gotta have more faith in the team. What are you doing awake? It's still dark outside? So when you think of Robert {\and you think of}me, do you think about death? Why? What happened? The blogs are just calling us "the catastrophe couple of California." And you want to hear the weirdest part? Robert is flatlining. He's not even taking it in,{\He's not even} reacting. He's pretending that he's concerned about the baseball scores. - That doesn't sound like Robert. - Thank you. Robert just lost a job because of this kind of discrimination. You can't not hire somebody because they have heart surgery. - Look at Dick Cheney. - Ah, Dick Cheney. There's a reason I should move to France with Luc. Why don't you and Luc get married? I've been through this.
I'm not gonna let Luc's visa - be a reason I get remarried. - Have you made any more appeals? Are you kidding me? We've done everything we can. He's even in a lottery for a green card. I've written letters, e-mails, left messages. God knows if they ever get them. Easy does it. It's all gonna work out. You {\and Luc}are completely committed to each other. He's leaving his stuff there? Which, when this doesn't work, I'll have to ship all the way back to France. Listen, you guys are gonna visit each other. It's gonna be great. Visit? Come on. Big whoop. You know as well as I do that absence does not make the heart grow fonder. It just makes you realize that you can live your lives without each other. I don't want to live my life without him, and now I'm gonna cry again all over my spreadsheets. I cried in three meetings yesterday? One of them was to raise capital at a merchant bank. Maybe I just need to get my period. Gosh. Hang on. It's Kevin. - Hi. What are you doing up? - I couldn't sleep, I need some advice.
Be quick about it cause I've got Sarah on the other line. When you were pregnant, what was your HCG level? What? I can't hear you? I have to be quiet. I promised Scotty I wouldn't go online, but I can't stop reading these forums. Your HCG level, what was it? - I don't know. I just peed on a stick. - Ours is 53. Michelle's going for a second test{\ today}, but it has to be double. It'd be so much easier if we were straight? We'd do a daily boob check and see if she was pregnant or not. - That's it. - What's it? - I gotta go. - Wait... Did you just tell me that you haven't gotten your period yet? - No. And it's not helping things. - Cause you know what? You and I are on the same cycle, I got mine, like, a week and a half ago, so you are late. You are very, very late. Really? You haven't been this emotional since you were pregnant with Cooper. The love of my life is moving to the other side of the world. Besides, come on, I'm 43. I'm more likely to be perimenopausal than I am to be pregnant. Please. People get pregnant in their 40s all the time.
Not me... because I happen to be part of the catastrophe couple, but you... I'm not having this conversation. My God. This is gonna be so much fun. This is perfect. Evan's gonna have a new little playmate. Okay. Good-bye. Hello? If you called her at this hour to have her assess the tenderness of her breasts - I'm gonna kill you. - I'm not even on the phone. You are googling HCG levels, aren't you? It's better than what most people do at odd hours on a computer. Did you know 73% of people 10 days post-transfer who get a 53 end up with a BFN? Big fat negative. You heard what the doctor said. We're supposed to stay off the internet. Our situation is unique to us. Everybody's results are {\gonna be}different. - I heard the doctor. - Okay. Then why don't you look up movie times? It'll take our mind off things until Michelle calls. Okay, fine. What do you want to see? Want to go to a psychic? How's that gonna take things off our mind? You wanna ask a stranger if {\she thinks}we're pregnant? No, but, you know, it'd be fun.
Ms. Nadine... World renowned... Psychic to the stars. World renowned? Why do you want to know the gory details? Because, mother, you could've been killed. Now we just want to know what happened. That's all. Fine. I left Chicago... Chicago? No, mother. This is Los Angeles. The show, you morons. The musical "Chicago"? Eunice and I went with her senior citizens group. Now if we could just please fill out this damn form so that I can get home. The doctor said that you couldn't remember anything about what happened, so... What's going on? Nothing, mommy. We're worried about you. That's all. You should honestly try to call us when you're thinking of coming to town. - Saul knew I was here. - Only because he happened to call you. At least someone calls me. We have to think about the future. What about it? Mother, listen. The doctors...
They feel that you shouldn't be living by yourself any longer. Why, because I sprained my ankle? No, because apparently, you were in the middle of the road and didn't even know it. {\They said that}You weren't yourself for hours. They're worried that this could happen again. I lose my way for a couple of hours in a city I don't know, and you want to box me up and send me to a nursing home? That's where this is headed, right? You need help. Fine, Sauly. I'll move in with you. I don't think so. My house is small, I have work, and I just don't think you'd be happy there. You can live with me. Please, mother. Please live with me. I'd like that. I would rather live in a nursing home. Yes, I'm sorry you feel that way. But you're coming home with me. {\fade(2500,100)}{\1cHFF9933}Season 04 Episode 21 Where There's Smoke... {\***pub***}{\pos(192,220)}We got the bread maker that we registered for. {\pos(192,220)}The bread maker?

And you sunk millions into our family business. No, I know. I'm just fantasizing for a moment. {\pos(192,220)}We'll definitely get some shelves. What? {\pos(192,220)}A buddy in my unit in Iraq was, killed in Afghanistan. {\pos(192,220)}My God, Justin. I'm so sorry. The funeral's tomorrow. I should go. {\pos(192,220)}I didn't even know he was still in. Here we go. Don't help me so much. I just need a little support. - Stop it. - I'm giving you a little support. {\pos(250,268)}Put your hand on the railing. Okay. Here we go. Yes, come in. {\pos(192,220)} - Are you okay? - I'm fine. {\pos(192,220)}Aren't we, mother? {\pos(192,220)}What are you doing up there? {\pos(192,220)}
- Your sister left me here. - What? {\pos(192,220)}It's all right. It's all right. I can do it. {\pos(192,220)}I'm fine. I've got it. I can do it alone. {\pos(192,220)}I'm just fine. - You okay? - Yes, I'm fine. {\pos(192,220)}We have just taken too many unnecessary trips up and down the stairs. {\pos(192,220)}This time she wanted her book. I said, "mother, I'll go get it for you." {\pos(192,220)}She said, "No, I don't want you in my things." {\pos(192,220)}So there we went, up mount Everest again. {\pos(192,220)} - But I talked to Susan O'malley... - From your cancer center. {\pos(192,210)}She's now the head of the cent... Would you please slice this for me? {\pos(192,220)}Very thin. No, very, very thin. {\pos(192,220)}I remember. {\pos(192,215)}So I talked to Susan, and she told me where I could get her a walker. {\pos(192,215)}And she also told me that her mother is living with her, too. {\pos(192,220)} - So we now have mah-jongg on the books. - Nice. {\pos(192,215)}Every Friday.
{\pos(192,215)}So you can just stop worrying about this arrangement. {\pos(192,215)} - We are flourishing. - Great. I'm not gonna worry. {\pos(192,215)}What about you? What about me? {\pos(192,215)}Come on, this isn't exactly company for the weekend. Have you ever thought about what you're giving up here? {\pos(110,220)}You heard what the doctor said, that this could very easily {\pos(192,215)}go downhill quickly from here, {\pos(192,215)}then what have you consigned yourself to, {\pos(192,215)}and why, for what? {\pos(192,215)}So you could have a second chance at a relationship with mother? {\pos(192,215)}What is this? {\pos(250,215)}God. What... Are you worried about losing your favorite child status? Is that it? Listen to me. {\pos(192,215)}You get a bigger apartment, and she can come live with you. How's that? Give me a break. You know that's not the reason that I can't have her live with me. And what would be the reason for me to tell her. - At this point in my life that I'm gay? - It's the truth. - Nice. Nice. - I'm gonna call the kids.
I'm gonna tell 'em they have to have dinner with us tonight. We have to, all of us, get used to the idea that Ida's gonna be staying here, hopefully for a very, very long time. I'm seeing a journey. A voyage of some sort. Are these the stars you referenced in your ad? I'm sorry. I've never seen these people. I'm sorry. You were saying something about a journey? It's not for you, but for someone close, perhaps a family member... My God. That's totally Luc. My sister-in-law's boyfriend, visa issues. Doe's that ring a bell? - I think you just rang it for her. - That would make sense, but before he leaves something else is coming. Don't tell her. This thing I see coming... It's a big, dark cloud. I can't tell you what it is, but it's going to bring turmoil and maybe... Even smoke. Smoke? I thought psychics only brought good news. That's a fortune cookie. But for what it's worth, I am sensing new life. Like a baby? What? That's what we're here for. Now that I know what it is, yes, it's a baby.
Kevin, did you hear that? I was just about to get you that sales report. Actually, could I ask you a question? Do you remember that meeting last month where I kind of flipped out - because... - your nonfat dry cap wasn't very dry? PMS. Do you remember when that was exactly? - March 11th. - Wow. You're good with dates. It was my birthday. Sorry. My God. Six weeks. I wish we could have lunch, but they've got me on this ridiculous schedule, I have to be back at the state department first thing in the morning. No, that's okay. It sounds worse than the campaign trail. I hear you've got a good shot at the primary. Ann, I need a favor. If you're looking to secure more RNC funding, - I've already targeted you... - No, actually, it's about Robert. What about him? I'm guessing that you know that he was tapped for a high-level appointment concerning national security. And... He went through the whole process, and they practically told him that he had the job, and then at the last minute, they rejected him because of some leftover scar tissue from his heart surgery and... - Right. - Wait a minute.
Did you hear something different? If that's what Robert told you, then he's in the best position to know. If he is interested in a think tank or a seat on the board... Please don't change the subject. What is going on? Look, all I'm gonna say is that there are plenty of people in worse health than Robert at the highest levels. A little scar tissue isn't usually a deal breaker. I'm sorry. I have a car waiting. You did this. You killed the job. You had me blackballed. Look, if you'd taken that appointment, you'd have been gagged. You'd take an oath of silence and never be able to help us. We couldn't let that happen. There are plenty of people who could help you do this. You know you're the perfect candidate. Even if I wanted to, my wife is running for senate. There's no way that I'm gonna jeopardize... Your loyalty is admirable. Family is important, but your country needs you. - My country? - Yes. Your country. Joe, find someone else. {\***pub***}200 bucks down the drain, and I still don't feel distracted. {\pos(192,220)}But you should be relieved. Kevin, we're totally pregnant. {\pos(192,220)}What, is that based on the tenderness of my breasts? {\pos(192,220)}She was dead-on about a lot of things.
Luc... {\pos(192,220)}- cause you told her about Luc. - She said "journey" first. {\pos(192,220)}And then there was that whole thing about new life. {\pos(192,220)}And could she have been any more generic? My God. The wicked witch of the west is in town. - Who? - Grandma. She's gonna be at mom's.{\ tonight.} Wait. Ida's here? She's the dark force. She's totally the dark force bringing turmoil. Ida's cranky, okay? A dark force? Kind of a stretch. - Smoke... What was that about? - Clouds. We could paint clouds on the ceiling of the nursery. I don't think predictions count if you make them come true. Plus, we don't have a nursery. Kevin, I just want to believe. So... Are you all set here? All set. There's nothing else that you need? That's what is meant by "all set." You know, mom... You really could come with me.
I'm just shopping for dinner, and it would be like old times. Remember when we used to shop at Hannigan's and we used to sample all the candies? Don't patronize me. If you're afraid that I'm gonna wander out in the street and get hit by another bus, just say so. I really wasn't patronizing you. It would be nice to have your company. We could spend some time together. Were you planning on carrying me around the market or do I just sit in the car with bingo? Bingo died. I had no idea. When? Just, you know, a little while ago. Listen to me. I would really, really like you to come with me. I'd rather not miss my programs. So you have my cell phone number. Okay. What time should I feed bingo? Go shopping. It was a joke. Good. Hello? - What's going on? - Not much. Just thought about emptying the trash. Actually, you really should be getting ready, because we shouldn't be late tonight. Grandma's coming. Did I tell you that? Have you met Ida? Don't be crazy.
{\Of course}You haven't. What am I talking about? - What? - You're so nervous. Yeah, a little bit. But I'm holding it together. Babe, I'm gonna call you every night. It would be lunchtime for you. That way we can have lunch together. You know people do move on with their lives. I'm worried we might get distracted. No, I'm not gonna get distracted. Do you remember when we met the first time? You just appeared on my doorstep. Come on. We're meant to be together. Let's make the most of the time we have left? No. You know what? Sex is not always the answer. It can have very serious ramifications. - What? - Come on, I shouldn't really have to explain to you... The birds and the bees, kids. Kids. What do you mean? Do you want to have a baby? - No. Why?
Do you? - I don't know. I'm leaving in a day. - I don't think it's really practical... - Exactly. You're leaving tomorrow. It's not practical. You should go get ready for dinner. I take out the trash. No, I'll get it. Got it. Let me take out the trash. Please. I'm here one more day. Could you please stop saying that? Let me take out the trash, then. God. Mom? {\***pub***} - Thank you. - No problem. Thank you so much. I promise I'll be careful next time. Never let it happen again. {\pos(192,220)}You could have told them I did it. {\pos(192,220)}I don't think they would have locked me up. No, mother, it's not your fault. You did turn the burner on and walk away, but I should not leave so much stuff around. This could have happened to anyone. Fine.
We'll play it your way. Ah, jeez! Just don't say it. Don't say it. Don't say it. We're fine. Everyone is fine. We needn't change our plans. You couldn't call me? I had to hear it from Sarah? I knew you were coming over for dinner tonight. - It's not like I'm keeping it a secret. - I'm just glad everything's okay and the house is still standing. Mommy, you okay? I'm peachy. It was her fault. We're having pizza tonight. Was there a fire? Everybody's okay. - It's true. - Everybody's safe. It's fine. - So there was smoke. - Can you smell that? I love you. It's true. It's really true. Excuse me. Is there something wrong with the two of you? No, we're just glad everyone's okay.
Is there a chip or something? I'm just checking to see if it's the same company that we registered for. I've been obsessed with dinnerware. We've received so many wedding gifts, we've no idea where to{\we're gonna}put everything. Buy a house. You're married. That's what people do. Actually, there is this one house that we love. I didn't know med school paid so well. We're not actually in the market. Who knows? If things turn around with Ojaï. But I mean, we love our apartment. Don't get me wrong. There's plenty of room. Our place is tiny, and we're adding a baby to the mix. - You've heard? Did you hear something? - No. I just meant at some point. And hopefully, the fates are with us. Sarah, you okay? I'm just... - Gonna get wine for the table. - There's a bottle right here. I was so sorry to hear about bingo. Your dog. Your mother mentioned that he passed recently. Grandma... Bingo passed away about 20 years ago.
I didn't say it was yesterday. No, you said "recently." Why, so that I would feel better? I don't know. Is that such a bad thing? No, of course not, dear. It's one of the wonderful things about you. - You're such a pleaser. - Mom, come on. Like taking blame for the fire that I caused. Mother, look, everyone is safe. No one got hurt. It doesn't matter whose fault it was. It matters to me, damn it. - Hello? - Kitty, come in here. Did you take the test? I bought the test, but then Luc came home. I had to throw it in the trash. {\Wait a minute.}Are you telling me that Luc doesn't know? - You have to tell him. - Tell him what? What's there to tell? There's nothing to tell. Even if there was, - he's leaving tomorrow. - I am here to tell you that this is not something that you should be keeping from your partner. You are in a committed relationship. You don't keep secrets from each other. No wonder you think the long-distance thing isn't gonna work.
I might be hormonal, but it feels like you're being really mean to me. - He's French. I have two kids. - I know. I'm sorry. It's not you, okay? It's not you. It's me. It's me. I went to see this woman today... to confront her about why Robert didn't get the job. You went to see Ann Waterman? Have you been eavesdropping outside that door? - A little. At the end. - Wait a minute. Did Robert ever tell you anything about some sort of job in intelligence? The job? The big secret job? God, yeah. What about it? I went to see Ann Waterman today, because I wanted to talk to her about how I thought it was discrimination that Robert didn't get the job cause of his heart surgery, she looked at me like I was crazy. Meaning? I think there's another reason why Robert didn't get the job. You think there's a scandal that you don't know about? Let's just turn the dial down on the drama queen. - Maybe he was embarrassed. - You know him. He doesn't get embarrassed. He wasn't born with the ability to get - What?
- Can we not talk about birth, please? Right. Right. Sorry. Sorry. Has Scotty said something to you two? About what? My God. Are you pregnant, too? What do you mean, "too"? Who else is pregnant? I don't know. - Who's pregnant? - Nobody I never said anybody's pregnant You said "too." "Too" implies somebody else is pregnant. It was... I meant "boo." So who's the first person? Kevin? - What? - Are you pregnant? We went to a psychic, and she predicted a "new life." But maybe that new life isn't ours. Maybe it's one of yours. So tell me, is it? Is it? Is one of you pregnant? So the birds and the bees... You were serious? It is you. - Maybe.
I don't know. - But it might be? - That would be amazing. - It's not amazing. It's not amazing. You're leaving tomorrow. And we were careful. We were really, really careful. - I thought we were. - You thought you were being careful? - What {\the hell}is your problem? - Are we okay in here? No, we're not. The new life? - It's her. It's Sarah. - What? She stole our baby. You're... - Ma, you want some more salad? - Bye, mom! Bye, gram! - What, is Kevin leaving? - It sounded like that. - Excuse me. - What's going on? Nothing. Thank you for the dinner. We just really have to go. You guys aren't leaving, too.
Justin's getting the ice cream. The sitter... We have to relieve her. I thought the kids were with their father this weekend. - Right. Good night. - Good night. I'm gonna find out what's going on. I honestly don't know where that instinct comes from. What instinct is that? The one that tells you that you have to fix everything. Who knows what's going on out there? They're adults. If they need you, they'll ask you. Come on. It's perfectly understandable for Nora to want to find out - what's happening. - I'm sorry, if I don't do things the way you did. I just want to be there for my children, that's all. You're right. We've always done things differently. Can we not do this now, please? We're going to do this now. I don't want to live in this house with you for the next ten years of my life. There's a place called fair willows. - We've been over this. - You have been over this. Allow me the dignity to make my own choices. Allow me that, before it's too late. {\***pub***}Please, don't try and get my hopes up again.
You should have left me to my blogs and {\pos(192,220)}my "dreams of motherhood" forums full of ectopic pregnancies, BFN's {\pos(192,220)}and people just acknowledging what a huge miracle it is to get pregnant. {\pos(192,220)}At least that way, I'd have been able to manage my expectations {\pos(192,220)}wrap my head around the disappointment. {\pos(192,220)}{ o,}You wouldn't have. Even if she turns out not to be pregnant, Ms. Nadine or no Ms. Nadine, it's still going to hurt. There's no way to soften that blow. I don't think I can handle it without it being softened. Yes, you can, because I will be right here with you. Maybe this is just a sign that it's not meant to be. You're trying to soften again. If we really wanna be parents, maybe we could get a dog. I like dogs. For a woman who is supposedly diminished, she certainly knows how to turn it on when she wants to. She sure does. But she's right, Nora. She is. It's her choice how and where she spends the rest of her life. She doesn't want to live here with me. That's what this is about. I know that you want to have a relationship with her, but you've tried. You've tried. But then I'll never have a relationship with her like you do. What do I have with her? Tell me. I have a lie. The only reason you think that I'm close with mother is cause I don't fight her. I can't live honestly in front of her.
I've never been able to. But you do. You're yourself. And I envy that, because that's something I'll never have. Really? Yeah, really. - If I send her off... - When you send her off. - When I send her off... - Right. We can't let this be a new precedent in the family. Because I'm gonna live with Kitty or Sarah. Better yet, I'm living with Kevin. No one's gonna ship me off. Okay, I'll have the family bylaws revised on monday... And I'll make sure it says that. Looks like you and Evan had some fun. He is gonna be a drummer pretty soon. How was dinner? Dinner... was fine. You know, dinner with my family. You know how it is. Wait a second. You had Ida, Nora and Saul all in the same room, so it must have been great so spill it. I went to see Ann Waterman today. - Why would you do that? - Cause I think you're lying to me. - What exactly did Ann tell you? - Nothing.
She didn't tell me anything. It was very clear that she was hiding something, so I'm assuming you are, too. Someone intervened... and prevented me from getting the job. The heart attack was just an excuse. Who intervened? People. Powerful people. - You knew that they did this? - Not until today. They lied to me, too. I don't understand. Who's "they"? Who'd wanna prevent you from getting this job? - I can't get into it. - Come on. I am your wife. Remember? We promised we weren't gonna keep any secrets from each other? Here I am in the middle of a campaign, and I wanna know. Is something gonna come out,{\all of a sudden} something that's gonna surprise me? {\Why is exactly why you cannot know anything about this.} - Stay away from it. - There's going to be an investigation? They want me to help them with something... Having the job would prevent that. It's not like there aren't good motives behind what they're doing. It's just that I... Am not sure that I wanna be a part of it. You need to tell them that... you don't want anything to do with it and they should get somebody else. I did.
I told them exactly that. I'll get him. - So you doing it? - I should have had more to drink. I was trying to avoid the wine. You know that, women in France, - drink wine when they're pregnant. - That explains a lot. I'm sorry, but... I just can't believe this. I didn't know I wanted a family. I already have a family. I know you do. One that includes me. Sarah, that could be such a great thing. And like you said, the distance is so hard. - But now we... - But what? You said you thought this would be no problem. I know. But the truth is, it will be a little hard. People get busy, move on with their own lives. What are you saying? You think we need a baby to help keep us together? - What happened to all your optimism? - Look, I'm nervous, too. But a baby... A baby will hold us together no matter where we are. We'd be a family. That's what I really want for us.
I'm sorry to hear that because it's negative. I'm not pregnant. It's such a shame it's so un-PC to buy a dog. - Look at that goldendoodle. - My God. So cute. - Maybe we can rescue one. - I don't think goldendoodles need rescuing. Hi, Michelle. Wait... Before you say anything, we just... We want you to know, we're so grateful for everything you're going through for us, and no matter what happens, there's no blame, there's no... - 461? - 461? - That's her HCG level. She's pregnant. - We're pregnant! - My God. - We're pregnant. Just enjoying the perks of being without child. I was just... Don't tell me that you were trying to make me feel better{\about that, too,} cause then I'll have to reevaluate everything you've ever said{\to me}. I wasn't. I was excited. This is not the first time I thought I got someone pregnant. Not what I need to hear right now. But this is the first time I felt the way I felt. It's because I'm in love with you. And this is why it's gonna work. But neither of us actually believe that 100%, do we?
I'm moving 6,000 miles away. - It's gonna be a big change, but... - It's gonna suck. No, we're going in eyes wide-open. But this is what I want. - You want this, right? - Of course I do. So then we're gonna make it work. You're right. I'm sorry. We will. {\***pub***}You really do come to all of these? As much as I can. He seems like he was a hell of a soldier. He was. Since I've been back, he's done three tours of duty. Three. A place like this, sometimes it's hard not to feel guilty for what you have. It makes me wonder, since I've been back what the hell I've been doing. You served your country with honor. You're studying to be a doctor. But there are a shortage of medics out there now. Sometimes I feel this call to serve, something bigger Than my little corner of the world, you know? Yeah, I do know. Okay, we're almost set. I just have to find my damn cell phone. I spoke with the nicest lady at fair willows, and she... Eunice, slow down. What?
It's a charter bus. They're not gonna leave without us. And the show doesn't even start till 2:00. Mom, it's me, Nora. Yes. Thank you. My daughter. I gotta call her. If she knew that I was here in California and didn't call her... Though she's probably got a million things going on... Always so busy. And I don't ever want to become a burden to her. Maybe she's not so busy that she wouldn't love to hear from you. It's those children. They're fully grown, but they still keep her on her toes. But... They're wonderful. How could they not be with a mother like that? Baby names? When did you have time to get these? A couple weeks ago. Look at you, Mr. Quietly confident. I knew all along. Forget Ms. Nadine. Looks like you find your calling. Okay, you're all packed, pretty sparingly. I won the lottery. You what? I won the lottery. - You got a green card.
- It just arrived. You got a green card. - Harmony Wandell. - Augustus Walker. - You know what? - We're never agree on a baby name? No. Ms. Nadine's predictions... There's one outstanding... You know, the one about a loved one making a journey. It's gotta be your grandma. I guess. Okay, I've got everything. Do you want to wear your coat or shall I pack it? If I wanted to pack it, I would have packed it. Use your head. Good point, mom. Good point. I'm glad to get your call. I'm wheels up in five. - I don't have much time. - I changed my mind. Why? I started thinking that I should be worrying about something bigger than my corner of the world. - Are you sure? - I'm in. You've made the right decision. Let's hope so. {\fade(2500,100)}{\1cHFF9933}The Walker Team Pour
WOMAN: I have to be honest. I'm starting to tire of the dry chicken dinners. Every year I find myself in the same stuffy room, sitting on the same uncomfortable chair, being asked to open my checkbook yet again. Now, I support this facility, I really do, but I have to ask, Dr. Proctor: When can we expect MT1 to stand on its own two feet. PROCTOR: It's a good question... Ms. Davis. Ms. Kimberly Davis. Uh, Ms. Davis. Um... I'm sure I'd be, uh, more articulate if I were doing this in a surgical mask, but, um, Dr. Willis here insisted that bringing potential donors into the operating room would be both unhygienic and... more than a little odd. So, um... why have a... trauma-only facility when it costs so much, uh, to keep open and, um, uses... so many resources? (exhales) (chuckles softly) What's the first thought that comes into your mind when you drive by an accident? (girls laughing) Most people think, um... "What happened?" In the past tense. (tires screech) Whoa, hey! Watch it! (tires screech) In their minds, the accident's already over. Those of us who work in trauma we see the... flashing lights of the ambulance, and we think, "What's happening?" In the present. 'Cause for us, it's only just the beginning. â™a Who's in a bunker?

Auto versus bike versus auto. You have a run-in with Juan Valdez? (laughs) Yeah. Did I mention I spilled a macchiato in front of the very tasty waiter at my diner? Mucho, mucho embarazada. Uh, "embarazada" is "pregnant," Chris. But yes, (laughs) embarazado. Embarrassing. Hey, you two get your flu shots yet? Uh-uh. Cathy's down. Churny called in sick with a fever. In that case, looks like I'm getting a flu shot. Because to become sick and yurk all over the place would be very embarazado. Hey, Dr. Zambrano, did you, uh, lose something? Oh, God, no. Oh, it must have fallen off. It's my mother's earring. It's the only thing of hers I still have. It must have (beeping) fallen off at the diner. (sighs): I-I-I got to go. I got to go change. No, no. You go get on incoming. I'll take care of Goodwill; you make a mental list of everywhere the earring might have fallen off. I love you.
You know that, right? Yes. I-I've left you three messages, Matt. Which I ignored, because you used the word "fund-raiser"" Which is something I promised I wouldn't do when I took the job.

Heart rate: 130. Three fingers. Three fingers. How you doing, Eric? Was he riding without a helmet? Came off when he flipped his bike. He took a direct impact. He hasn't stopped answering how many fingers am I holding up since I asked him on the scene. Okay, on my count-- one, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three. He's perseverating. Eric... One, two, three. One, two, three. Your brain is rebooting itself over and over again. We'll sort that out as soon as we can.
Someone page Neurosurge, have mannitol standing by. Eric, is there anybody we can contact, a family member? No Mom. Not Mom. Br-brother Joey. Not Mom. Joey. Got it, Eric. Do you have his cell phone, Kleebus? With his stuff. I'll find a Joey. Agniska Vivika, mid-20's, restrained passenger in an MVA with a crush injury to the abdomen and pelvis, right leg fracture and a deep arm laceration. Given five of morphine. Agniska? Doesn't speak English. (speaking foreign language) Russian? DELEO: I don't know, a lot of consonants-- maybe Czech? Passport says she's Polish. DELEO: Arm bleed stopped with pressure, but it's definitely gonna have to be explored by Vascular in the O.R. Also, a lot of bruising on the abdomen. Agniska, we're gonna get you a translator as soon as we can, okay? (speaking Polish) She has diffuse guarding. (crying in pain) Yeah, pelvis is really unstable. It's definitely gonna need surgery. Let's get another five of morphine.
And a call to Admin. For a trans... for a translator. ZAMBRANO: You okay? Yeah. I'm fine. Oh! Oh! And the flu strikes again, huh? I'm so sorry. Don't worry, just... just go home, okay? Tuck will get someone to cover. And I'll start the ultrasound while you go and clean up. No, I'll... No, no, I got it. Just, uh, go. Go. (chuckles) (scoffs) This day couldn't get worse. (sighs) Oh, sir. You can't be in here. Your foot. Please... I don't want to use this. That makes two of us. Where was I? There was a gun in Trauma? Don't you people have security?
So this is how the foot injury became a trauma case? Are you taking notes? Oh, absolutely. I'm gonna figure out who died. Pretty sure it's the homeless guy. Always the guy you least expect. Yes, gun. Yes, in Trauma. Yes, security, but not enough. And even if we had run the homeless guy through a metal detector, it wouldn't have found the weapon. Why not? Sorry. I don't mean to scare you. Well, it'd help if you put the gun down. I can't do that. Okay. Could I at least take a look at your foot? Stay back. I'm just trying to help. That's what they said at the other building. You mean the ER? They said that they were going to fix my foot, then I saw the cameras-- they were watching me! Are there cameras in here, too? ER wants us to keep an eye out for a foot laceration who skipped out. Think I found him. Yup. Think so. Stay back. Hey, hey, why don't you take it easy. What do you say we put the gun down before someone ends up needing to go to a trauma hospital.
See, that's why I didn't want to come back here. What do you mean, back here? You been here before? Hey, I know you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You were there when they did this to me. It's a water gun. (Zambrano cries out) Are you okay? You all right? Yeah, yeah. I'm fine. Go, go. Whoa-whoa-whoa, sorry, sorry. Hey, someone stop that guy! Hey! Someone call security! I went through Eric's cell. I couldn't find a number for the brother, Joey, but I found one for his mother, Leslie. Thanks, Kleebus. Mrs. Schwartz? I'm Dr. Warren. You're a doctor? Yes, a first year resident. Eric's in critical condition. He was injured on his bike. Oh, God! But his vitals are stable and his head CT scan shows no bleeding. Now, he does have significant brain swelling, so we're prepping him for surgery to relieve that pressure. Our chief, Dr. Proctor, is in surgery with Eric.
I'm going to scrub in, and as soon as we have any update, I'll let you know. Does she know anything about Eric? Uh, D-Dr. Warren was just giving me an update. You're a doctor? Dr. Warren, this is my son, um... Joey, right? Joey? How do you know about Joey? Eric gave Joey It's okay, Mom. as a contact. Why would Eric be asking for Joey? Relax, Mom. I'm Eric's younger brother, Scott. I've been staying in town with my mother since... Joey died in an accident six months ago. I'm really sorry. LESLIE: Please, Dr. Warren. I can't lose another son. I understand, Mrs. Schwartz. (monitor whooshing) How's Agniska doing? Agniska's got fluid pooling behind her liver. Her bladder looked irregular. Ruptured? What happened to your face? Just... water gun incident. Don't ask. Bladder rupture, liver laceration.
DELEO: Pelvic and tibia fracture, brachial artery injury. Let's get a retrograde urethrogram to confirm the bladder rupture and have ortho, urology and vascular scrub in for the other issues. (speaks Polish) Can we get a damn translator in here? (speaking Polish) Whoa, sir. (speaking Polish) Are you the translator? No, Bolek Dabrowski-- he's the husband of the driver of the car. I was told that my wife was taken here, but I can't find her anywhere. We only got two cases from the crash. What about the ER? If you can help us translate with Agniska, we'll find out where your wife's been taken. Of course, of course. (alarm beeping) Pressure's dropping. Let's move it, people. Lynn. I need an O.R. for Agniska Vivika and ortho, urology and vascular. Already paged. Oh, Tuck asked me to make some calls about your mother's earring. I talked to the diner where you had breakfast and the gas station. So far nothing. (sighs) Thanks for trying, Lynn. His name is Jackson Russel. Who? Our missing Mr. Water Gun. Trach scar got me thinking, so I went to Admin.
Mm-hmm. Bravo Team did the intake nine months ago-- gunshot to the back-- but I discharged him. Guy hummed constantly. He hummed? If it's the same guy, yeah. Same tune over and over. Can't remember what it was, but I was able to pull his medical records. Bullet went to the heart. We put in a mechanical valve. And he's on a blood thinner-- warfarin-- which the ER confirmed with an INR before he went AWOL. Wait. Levels are way too high. Warfarin toxicity. Well, if he's a psych patient, he may be double-dosing on his medication. With that level of blood thinner, his foot won't clot. I mean, he can bleed out within a matter of hours. Put out an internal APB. Guy's got to be here somewhere. And if he is, I'm gonna find him. PROCTOR: Mr. Schwartz. we're going to do a ventriculostomy, put a tube into your brain to drain some of the fluid and reduce the pressure. Not Mom- - Joey. It's okay, Eric. Just try to... (dull banging) Wait a minute. I'm not doing that. Focal seizures. Follow my finger.
He's got a fixed gaze. Get him intubated and prepped. Tell the anesthesiologist to start lorazepam for the seizures. Let's take a look at his latest CTs. Brain swelling's too severe to do a ventriculostomy. Let's page Neurosurge, prep his belly. His belly? Uh-huh. We're going to do a hemi? Yeah. We're going to do a hemi. DAVIS: Hang on, I'm confused. What's a hemi? A hemicraniectomy. The top of the skull is removed, and the opening is secured by sewing the dura and the scalp together. And this allows room for the brain to swell without damage. But why open the belly if the swelling is in the brain? I can show you. Excuse me. Okay, so let's imagine, the chicken is your head, right? And the baked potato is your belly. First, we slice off the top of the chicken like so, and we set it aside. So what happens when we leave chicken out for too long? It rots, right? We could freeze it, but then frozen chicken never tastes quite the same, does it? So, we slice open the belly, (clears throat) make a little room. And we put the skull inside. This allows room for the brain to expand, decreasing the pressure, and the skull can stay viable inside the body cavity-- a bit like a warmer-- until we're ready to reattach it.
So now we got two critical patients and two O.R.s running. Anyone here play dominoes? In, uh, O.R. 1, we brought in Dr. Rasual from Neurosurge to, uh, take off the top of the skull of our cyclist, while Dr. Warren and I created the abdominal pouch to store the bone. Meanwhile, in the other O.R., Drs. Zambrano and Deleo repaired the liver lacerations on the passenger from the car. Dr. Sullos from Orthopedics set her fractured tibia, and Dr. Goodman from Vascular did the reconstruction on her damaged brachial artery. On deck, surgeons from Urology were set do a bladder reconstruction. Ten doctors, all working to try and save two lives. Which brings us back to our missing homeless guy. You think he's in there? We have any other homeless foot lacerations on the loose today? Wait. Shouldn't you wait for security? He was armed. With a water weapon. I think he's only a threat to the Wicked Witch of the West. Jackson? Some more blood on the floor. He couldn't have gone anywhere. The footprints only lead in. David Blaine has nothing on this guy. PROCTOR: Abdominal dressing is in place. WARREN: And vital signs all look good. Let's get Eric into the ICU for close monitoring. (alarm beeping) It's wide complex tachycardia. I'll grab paddles to shock. No, no, no.
Hold on. It's not a shockable rhythm. Look at the twisting pattern of the QRS complexes. It's not V tach. It's torsades. Try overdrive pacing to take control of his heart. Push two migs of magnesium, get him back into rhythm. WARREN: Overdrive pacing now. (monitor beeping rhythmically) Watch his rhythm. He's back in sinus. His brain swelling shouldn't trigger torsades. Did we miss a heart trauma? No, he had a chest CT and an echo-- both totally normal. So you think the heart dysrhythmia is unrelated to the trauma? I don't know. Let's find out. I'll get him moved, you get a full medical history, including exactly how his brother Joey died. All right? Just got a hold of Dispatch. They finally tracked down Agniska's cousin, Gosia Dabrowski. Mm-hmm. She was taken to Lashbrook Community Hospital. Lashbrook? Mmm. They're only a level 3 trauma center. I know. Paramedics misrouted her to the nearest hospital.
What happened now? (sighs) Vascular stuck me with a scalpel. It was clean. God, you are having a day. Gosia Dabrowski? At Lashbrook? Yeah. I'm going to tell the husband, and I've paged the attending there to see if I can find out more about the case. I've got no time, Carl. No time. You've got to have time, Matt. Technically, I'm your boss. Technically, I've got a patient whose heart just stopped beating for no reason. Got to go. Fine. I'll keep talking while you do. So, about the fund-raising presentation. (sighs) It'll only take an hour, and all you have to do is be charming. Which I won't be, Carl. 'Cause I yammer, pick fights, use food as inappropriate props. Give me a scalpel and some sutures, fine, but stumping up for a new wing... This is not about a new wing. (buzzer sounds) Trauma has two sources of funding. I know how Trauma is funded. One is government, the other is private. The feds are pulling back, the state has a $3 billion budget shortfall, the city can't even pick up the trash. And that brings us back to private citizens.
What about the head of Bravo Team? Ronson has the flu. Verduga from Charlie Team has done it four years running. Nobody wants to hear from me. Which leaves us with the mysterious new guy who everyone is dying to meet. I did this three times in Maryland, and three times I couldn't raise a dime. Matt, we're considering cutting back surgeons, laying off staff. Okay. I'll get you some talking points. (elevator whirring) Talking points are fine. But if you're expecting me to save people's jobs tell them to update their resumes. But Eric's a triathlete. He's never had anything worse than a cold. What about with his heart? His heart? Mom, it's okay. But-but I thought he has a brain injury. He does, but during surgery, his heart showed an abnormal rhythm. We need to know of any pre-existing conditions or injuries. Eric's as healthy as a horse, same as Scott. What about Joey? I'm sorry to have to bring it up, but it would be really helpful to know how your son died, in case it might have any bearing on Eric. Joey drowned. It was off the coast near Sommerville, South Carolina. I still say he was hit by a boat. He was too strong a swimmer. Ma. He had a couple of beers; tide was going out. That's it.
Are you bleeding? Oh, no, he-he's not. But you are. Look out! I need a lift team and a gurney! LESLIE: Scott! What's wrong with him? Scott! Why is he shaking like this? Make that two lift teams and two gurneys! STEPHENS: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. The passenger in the car, the homeless guy, the bicyclist and now the brother of the bicyclist? You said three patients before. Did I? Well, now there are four. ZAMBRANO: How the hell did he get in the ceiling? Ductwork in the back of the supply closet. Guy must have crawled 400 feet through three-by-three tubing. Pressure's 60/30. Severely anemic from blood loss. Blood bank says it'll take an hour to thaw fresh frozen plasma to reverse the anticoagulation. Can't wait for the FFP. Bag of factor IX complex and I.V. vitamin K and keep transfusing. Where... where am I? Hey, there, Jackson. (exhales, gasps) I-I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry. I hope I didn't scare you too much. No apology necessary. Just let us take care of your foot, okay? Can you breathe deeply for me, Scott? I'm fine. You were passed out and twitching. Because some guy almost fell on me. "Guy almost fell on me" is not a known cause for twitching and fainting. EKG looks fine. BP's normal. Everything normal. I told you I'm fine. Infected. He's been running around in dirty gauze all day. (gasps) Hey, hey, ckson, you were right. We do know each other. We do? I was the discharge nurse when you got shot. You hummed your way right out of the door. I don't think I've ever hummed in my whole life. Maybe I'm confused. Maybe I'm confused. (chuckles) I'm on so many meds. Sometimes I'm not sure what's real. You ever have that problem? Wound can't be closed here. Infected area needs to be debrided. I'll call up and have an O.R. prepped.
Hey, Jackson, we're gonna fix your foot up. You're gonna be just fine. It's not my foot... my mind. Please, fix my mind. Update on the two brothers: Eric's abdomen incision site looks good. His vitals are stable, but his brain is still swelling to critical levels. Nothing we can do now but wait and hope. Scott's also stable. No signs of seizures in either. Eric, Scott, Joey. Where did you get the dominoes? In a bag in the break room. Eric has seizures and heart dysrhythmia. Scott, maybe seizures and no dysrhythmia. and Joey... accident. Unless it wasn't. (chuckles) Mediocre minds think alike. Speak for yourself. So he's swimming, he has some sort of episode, and he drowns. No one does an autopsy. Let's assume Joey had seizures. Scott has seizures. Scott said he'd never had seizures before. Underlying condition that's been lying dormant, brought to the surface by the stress. We know Eric has seizures. Eric's seizures were caused by increing pressure in his brain. What if the seizures were triggered by the pressure but the condition existed all along? So, epilepsy. Worth a test, right?
GRACEFFA: I talked to a Dr. Ebel over at Lashbrook. Gosia Dabrowski is in critical condition with a severe liver injury and a pelvic fracture. It's the same as our patient. But they don't have an in-house trauma team, and the surgeons won't be there for 50 minutes. 50? We're 20 by ambulance. Tell 'em to pack her. We'll have an O.R. prepped and free. Bolek. I'm going to see Gosia. No, you don't have to go anywhere. We're having her transferred here. Here? Yeah. We've determined we can take better care of her here than where she was. And Agniska? She's in ICU recovering. Gosia and I, we have a new baby, Danusia, two months old. And today was the first day Gosia was even away from her. How does a thing like this happen? Excuse me. I'm l turned around. I got a call. I'm looking for Jackson Russel. You next of kin? Yeah, I'm his wife. Jackson used to own a landscaping business. Everything he touched bloomed. Nine months ago, he was making a deposit at an ATM when he, uh...
He got shot. We know. After his surgery, he got pretty depressed. There was just a lot of stuff he couldn't do. He had to stop working. He lost the business. We went to see doctors, lots of doctors. And now he has these episodes where he just disappears. I haven't seen him in three weeks. Do you know what medications he's on? What is he not on? They're divided by days of the week. I don't even know what they are. There's red round one, the blue oval one and the diamond-shaped pink one that he takes twice a day. Did... Did he ask for me? I'm not sure. Did he say anything at all? He asked us to heal his mind. Yeah, I've kinda given up hope for that. ZAMBRANO: Oh, and I'm supposed to get a page as soon as Jackson Russel's in the ICU with antibiotics running. And I think we should get new labs on Agniska... Oh! Look out! Oh, God. I'm sorry, Dr. Zambrano. Sorry. It's okay. (chuckles)
You need to just go home before you get hit by lightning. (sighs) Eva... you really are having a bad day. Let me see. Is your toe broken? This about your mother's earring? Getting all puked on? (laughs) A nail. I was talking to Kleebus. He said all these people's lives were upended by one nail. Can it really all be that random? Do you want the truth? No, Chris, lie to me. Probably, yeah. Well, it makes it very hard to sleep at night. See, I solved that problem years ago. How? I don't sleep. (both chuckle) SCOTT: This isn't so bad. I thought it was gonna hurt. PROCTOR: We could get your mom to watch if you think it'd help. No. No, I'm trying not to completely freak her out. Ever since Joey drowned, she's got to have me in her sight, like, 24 hours a day. She calls Eric, like, every 15 minutes. She just hasn't been able to accept what happened.
I'm fine. Just go back to working on Eri... (rapid beeping) Scott? ! He's out again. I see it. Scott! Mr. Schwartz? So epilepsy. You were right. No... I was dead wrong. Totally, completely 100% wrong. (rapid beeping) There's no twitching. The EEG shows no seizure activity. That's because it isn't a seizure. Scrap the EEG. Run the EKG. We already did. It was normal. Flecainide, please. Let's see how it reads after I push this. Eric's seizures were related to his trauma. And Scott's seizures, they weren't seizures at all, but the three brothers' problems were linked. Linked by what? Sudden unexpected death syndrome. Sudden unexpected death syndrome-- or Brugada-- is a genetic disease. It wasn't even recognized until 1992. There are no symptoms, no prior warnings until it presents as a heart arrhythmia brought on by severe physical or emotional stress: a head trauma... long swim.
Someone crashing through a ceiling next to them. Now, Brugada effects less than one percent of the population, but it's the exact demographic into which the three brothers fall. So what can you do about this? Implant an internal defibrillator which will give a shock if it senses an abnormal heart rhythm. LESLIE: Could you say that again in English? We're sending Scott to be fitted with a special pacemaker that will regulate his heart and ensure that this won't happen again. And as soon as Eric has recovered from his head trauma, he'll be fitted for one, too. So both my boys have this Brugada thing? Actually, we think all of your sons may have had it, Mrs. Schwartz. And that's why Joey drowned? We think he may have had an attack while swimming. At least that's our theory. Mrs. Schwartz, um, we can't guarantee that your two sons won't be hit by a bus but we can guarantee they won't die of this. (laughs) Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, too. That's okay. TUCK: I'm no psychiatrist, but there's no way he should be taking three antipsychotics and two antidepressants along with his warfarin. The worse he got emotionally, the more doctors he saw, the more pills he got. I'm gonna schedule a Psych consult with Dr. Minyard. He'll be better at sorting this thing out. He talk about cameras? About people following him? But didn't mention me? I mostly justried to keep. And I think I may have mistook him for someone. Who?
Patient we once had, guy hummed a lot. Hummed? Mr. Russel just woke up. Page Dr. Zambrano. I'll be right back. How are you feeling? A little shaky. We're working on that. Your numbers look good, Mr. Russel, and Dr. Zambrano is on her way to see you. In the meantime, is there anything I can do? Can you turn that thing off? I don't like people watching me. Anything else? No. I have a... I have a wife. I don't like her to see me when I get this way. If you could call her and let her know where... Ah, Katie. Oh, Jackson. I'm kind of a mess here. Nurse Brody and I have been talking about that. He thinks he might be able to hook us up with a doctor, one doctor, who might help clear things up. Really? We're gonna see what we can do. Mr. Brody? The humming? Was it this... (hums "My Funny Valentine") (humming continues) Yes.
â™a My funny valentine â™a Our wedding dance. You used to hum that every morning while you loaded your truck. Yeah. I did... I used to hum. â™a You make me smile â™a I miss that guy. â™a With my heart â™a â™a Each day is Valentine's Day. â™a DAVIS: Wait. I don't get it. The brothers get pacemakers. The Polish woman is in ICU. And the homeless guy's foot is healing. So, who died? Anybody? The one who didn't get there in time. (siren wailing) (siren continues wailing) Gosia Dabrowski, 27 years old, transferred from Kendall Community. Multiple abdominal injuries, BP is 40 palp with a weak pulse. She'll never make it upstairs. Pressure's too low. Let's go into Trauma 2. Abdomen's filled with blood. Should've been in an O.R. an hour ago. She's bradying down. DELEO:
Asystole. (flatline beeping) Damn it. Starting CPR. DELEO: Get a crash cart. Give her one of epi and atropine. Open up a thoracotomy tray. We have to cross-clamp the aorta. I'm on it. Give me a rib spreader. I was paged to the O.R. Yeah, didn't make it that far. Patient arrested. Heart's not beating. Give me a clamp. Got it. (flatline beeping) Heart's still not beating. PROCTOR: Starting internal compressions. Keep the blood flowing. Gosia, come on. PROCTOR: We worked for an hour and a half... (flatlining continues) ...but we couldn't get her stable enough to get her to the O.R. Now, I know you resent the, uh, same stuffy room, the uncomfortable chairs. Being asked, yet again, to open... your checkbooks. Do you know what I resent? I resent having to tell the father of a two-month-old baby that his wife is dead, because the trauma facility to which she was sent didn't have the resources to save her. You know the, uh, process of treating a trauma patient is, um... is a bit like these dominoes. Three patients, three trauma suites, two O.R.s,
17 specialists, all less than five minutes away. Now, if everything goes according to plan then each element will fall into the next and, uh, three patients are saved. But if not... or if we don't exist and that patient is just sent to the closest hospital... Gosia Dabrowski. Born 23rd of March, 1979, Warsaw, Poland. Died 4:58 p.m. yesterday, Miami... Florida. Thanks for your time. (meowing) Don't start. I'm down to lost and found clothing. Hmm. Well, speaking of cats... and dogs. Oh, no. Ugh, my car! I forgot I had the top off. It's soaked! I can give you a ride home. Yeah, I swear, everything I have has either been spilled on rained on or puked on. You can look inside your Goodwill bag for something. Sorry, I didn't get around to it. That's totally fine. Somewhere between my fashion mistakes from the '90s and my ex-boyfriend's junk, I'm sure I'll find something to wear. (clattering) Eva? Oh, it's hideous, but at least it'll get me to your car, right? Eva.
(gasps) It fell out of the bag. My mother's earring. If I hadn't had my rotten morning, I would've made it to Goodwill. If I hadn't been puked on, never would've run out of clothing. If it hadn't been raining, never would've reached in that bag. If I hadn't reached in that bag... Eva finds meaning in the chaos. I don't know about that but... at least I'll sleep tonight. â™a Can you see me now? â™a â™a Hanging on by a thread â™a Sorry, Carl, I went off script. Well, the dominoes were a nice touch. So, um, how'd I do? You are no longer the guy who's never raised a dime. But... how many dimes? Better than Ronson? Better than Verduga? Look, Matt, what's important is that you were willing to step up at the last minute. Dr. Willis? This is for you. Oh, thank you. Thank you. And you dropped this. Keep it as a souvenir. See you next year? Yeah. Sure. Same uncomfortable chairs.
Same dry chicken. â™a Can you hear me now? â™a Dr. Willis? Yes. A moment please. Thanks. â™a Hanging on by a thread â™a â™a Are you coming to my rescue? â™a (helicopter blades whirring) â™a Will you be the one to save me? â™a â™a Are you? â™a â™a Are you going to save me? â™a Hey, Jack. - Did you dye your hair? - No. No. So how was your New Year's? Wonderful. My dear friend, the deep-sea explorer Bob Ballard, Brought over a 2,000-year-old amphora of wine From a sunken Phoenician trading vessel. The wine turned out to be quite toxic. My guests and I spent the stroke of midnight in my garden... vomiting. - Oh, my god, sorry. - Don't be. The whole night... the purging, the new year, The vivid hallucinations of Astarte... The Phoenician goddess of sex and war...
It all wiped the slate clean. So... Nancy Donovan... What happened before Christmas was a mistake. She hasn't contacted me since, so clearly she agrees it's over. Well, that's healthy. A clean break. Exactly. A clean break. So what about you, Lemon? Is your 2010 off to a good start? Well, I spent New Year's eve with my family, Which was actually very special. My cousin Randy, This kid from this rural coal mining town, Came out to us. And I think old Liz Lemon had a little something To do with that. Randy's gay, everybody! He's gay. I think everyone knew. Finally! Over the break, I forgot what floor I worked on. Six, Tracy. Six! I knew it was a character from Blossom, But I couldn't find the Joey Russo button. Hold the door! You guys, I had the most amazing New Year's. I met James Franco's manager.
It was like a fairy tale. My client, James Franco, he's actively looking For a relationship with a human woman To dispel certain unsavory rumors. Are you available for a fake romance with a movie star? Does chewing on a sponge trick your brain's hunger center? Yes! Yes! A million times yes! So this is some arranged Hollywood relationship? With James Franco. Can you believe they went to me Before Ayilla from The Real World: Cancun? I think it's great. The exposure will do wonders for you and TGS. Lemon, I want you and Jenna to have a meeting With James Franco and make sure his manager doesn't screw her. Too late! Wait, which way did you mean that? I had a pretty amazing New Year's too. My wife and I are trying for a daughter, And on New Year's eve I think I got Angie pregnant. No, no, no, no. Okay, but I was gonna describe it real good. How was your New Year's, sir? Perfect. Oh, my god! As you know, on New Year's, I finally met my birth parents.
So... thank you for asking about that! - I called her, Lemon. - What? I called Nancy on New Year's eve at 3:42 a.m. Damn that Phoenician wine! And you don't remember doing it? The last thing I remember is going into a closet And switching clothes with Bob Ballard. Look, I don't think you actually spoke to her. You hit pound after the number. I think you left a message. Cerie, get on her YouFace page. - Lemon, do you mind? - No. One second. Okay. Okay, her YouFace page says they're on vacation. They're borrowing a friend's condo in Florida. Oh, what have I done? The woman is on vacation with her husband as we speak, Probably having beach sex, which is the third best sex After elevator and White House. Is there any chance that she hasn't heard it yet? As a frequent leaver of drunken messages, I can tell you no good can come of this. As a frequent receiver of drunk messages, They are not cute, even when they're from Liz. Da da da... Good lord, I've Lemoned the situation with Nancy!
I've got to erase that message. "Lemoned"? That's not a thing People are saying now, is it? Cerie? Lemoned. Doing it awesome. Here's the general idea, Jenna. You and I pretend that we met while filming a movie Called Space Attack. My title. This movie will never be released Because my performance will be deemed "too provocative for America." Oh, I wish I lived in France. But out of this experience, We found each other, et cetera, et cetera. Five dates a week, one fight a month. And because of a product placement deal with Jamba Juice, The fight will be in a Jamba Juice. I love Jamba Juice! And this is the non-disclosure agreement Regarding anything you two may learn about each other During the course of the relationship. Yeah, what exactly is Mr. Franco covering up here? i - Liz, are you familiar with Japanese moe relationships, Where socially dysfunctional men develop Deep emotional attachments to body pillows With women painted on them?
I am not, James. Neither am I, Liz! Which is why it's so weird The tabloids are running all these stories Saying I'm in love with a body pillow. I mean, it's crazy! Then why is that here? Why? I mean, why is this table here? I mean, why is that lamp here? Kimiko is-- It is here like any other object. Objects are made by men and used for many purposes. But we never love objects. Where do I sign? Hello? Liz? It's Randy, Randy Lemon. Oh, hey, Randy. What's up? Well, my parents and I are kind of fighting right now. Because you spilled orange soda on the couch? No, because of the gay thing. - So now I'm here in New York. - Wait, you're in New York? Yeah, I figured I'd come stay with my cool cousin Liz. Besides, what better place for me to be Now that I'm a homo? Is that the one we call ourselves? Nope.
Get a cab, okay? Go to my apartment. 168 Riverside Drive. Okay. Uh, actually there's a guy here Who offered to drive me if I helped him move a couch Into a van. Nope. That's a serial killer. Just get a cab. I'll pay for it. You have Amish here? Just get in the house, Randy. Kenneth, Jonathan, I need one of you to help me With a very special assignment. I hope it's me. But I'm honored just to be standing here with you. I'm going to drive up to Waltham, Massachusetts, Break into a woman's home, And erase a potentially embarrassing and destructive Answering machine message. The home in questions has a doggy door. That will be our way in... Using these hangers. Prove that you are lithe enough to accompany me to Waltham. It's Kenneth! You sicken me. I did it! Angie just called. She's pregnant.
- That's awesome. - Congratulations. Yes. And it gets better. I just had a burrito! Well, now you just have to hope that it's a girl. I know it's a girl, Liz Lemon, Because I yelled "Susan B. Anthony" - At the moment of conception. - Well, that'll do it. We're gonna name her after the place That she was conceived. It was a pretty wild night. So we gonna name her either Virginia, Netjet, or bathroom at Teterboro airport. Oh, Liz, I'm in love. You're really not. James and I just had lunch at The Spotted Pig. The paparazzi were everywhere. The gossip blogs are calling us "James." It's a combination of Jenna and James. Jenna, look, I'm glad that you're having fun, But is this really all that you want? I mean, you and I are not getting any younger. You don't know that thing I sleep in isn't working. Don't you want more than some fake boyfriend? Don't you want to be happy? Liz, I am happy. All this attention, getting my picture taken, Having ice-cold diarrhea from drinking too much Jamba Juice...
It's everything I ever wanted. Sorry, sir. That happens sometimes when I unhinge my pelvis. Oh, I was afraid of this. It's not an answering machine, it's a voice mail. Okay, well, we just need to look for clues To her password. It'll be like the Da Vinci Code. Ehh... albino monk! That's a mirror, Kenneth. She must have written it down somewhere. Try on the computer. Okay. Search... Oops! I just took my picture with that little camera thing. - Kenneth! - All right. I just need to erase that picture. Whoops, I just made it the desktop image. How did I do that? Wait a minute. Wait a minute! Ah! Nancy's husband has been sleeping on the couch. "emailing image to address book"? What is wrong with me? - Hey, Liz. - Oh, thank god. Randall Lemon, where were you?
I'm sorry, I met these two guys And they just dropped me off. Well, I'm glad they brought you home, but... That's where I'm meeting them later... A bar called "Home Butt." - No, you're not. You came to New York to see your cool cousin, Not run around with strange gentlemen. You don't have to be so protective of me. This is New York City, Randy. Liz, you know how hard it was growing up gay In Methenburg, Pennsylvania? The local TV station edited Will Grace down so much that it was just called Karen. Being in New York, this is the first time I've ever felt like myself. And I want to go out and enjoy it, have fun. Oh, we're gonna have fun. We're gonna stay here and make nachos And see who can fall asleep the earliest. Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun! This is nice. Your hand feels like a pillow that's been in the microwave. Thanks. Okay, well... I'll see you tomorrow. Wait. Oh, it's okay.
You can stop. - I was wrong. - What? I thought it was a paparazzo, But it's just some loser taking a picture of his kid. Oh... Right. Of course. That was fake. Did you know "paparazzo" is singular to "paparazzi"? Kimiko taught me that. I'll see you at dawn so you can get caught coming out of my apartment. I'll loan you a shirt. Try to look like you just got drilled. You know the deal. Sir, this computer is not helping with our search. If you type "Nancy's secrets" into the internet, Do you have any idea what comes up? A store that sells wig extensions. I've seen all this before, Kenneth. The separate beds, the empty closets, The brave public face. This is just another Irish Catholic couple Who won't admit to the world that their marriage is over. Sir, you don't know that. They're on vacation together right now. Are they? Nancy Donovan, still so organized. In German class, Mr. Kruger always chose her To sort the students.
He was eventually arrested by Israeli commandos. Hmm. Look. On the 30th she took flight 1470 to RSW. He left the next day for CVG. They have to be different cities. Uh, Fort Myers and Cincinnati. Did you not learn your nation's airport codes in high school? She's at the beach house alone! That's the most divorced sentence I've ever heard. Mr. Donaghy, this snooping has to stop. We came here to erase... oh! I just took a picture of both of us. Good morning. Is that glitter? Oh, my god, did you go out last night After I won the sleeping contest? I forgot to wash my face, didn't I? I meant to do it at the club, But when I got into the bathroom, Everything started up again. Okay, that's it, I am taking you To the Port Authority. To get on a bus home, not to meet people! God! Look, you've had your fun. You've seen New York. You've made some really neat friends. Maybe that's enough for a first step. Okay?
Yeah. Okay, you're right. But I'm not going home Until I give my cool cousin a makeover! i - Is it gonna be fierce? It would be if it was 2006. Well, I do have this one cardigan That I've been kind of afraid to wear. Well, let's see it, girl. I'm not going back to Methenburg! Randy Lemon, you open this door right now! Okay, I do appreciate the irony That I'm the one stuck in the closet now. - Is that irony? - Not really. The sun is up and we are still in these people's home. God can see us now. We have to find that voice mail code. It's on the dry-erase board above the phone. What? I saw it there a few hours ago. But I wasn't done looking around. I'm ready to hear the message now. Sir, I don't mean to swear, But I am irritated right now. 5-5-2-8-7. Thursday, December 30... Thursday. Friday, January 1st.
