"yeah." "He won." "sam... you coming to bed?" "*..." "Without it, there's no gain, only pain *" "Yeah." "I, um..." "I'll be in in a minute." "*..." "On the shelf *" "* I'll give my love to someone else * * if you see me walking by * * hand in hand with another guy * * know that it's true * * ooh, ooh * * it could've been you *" "my god." "we were supposed to just have dinner" "Like normal people." "We ate." "I ate." "Cooper." "Do you..." "Do you think we should talk about what this means?" "You think it means something?" "Do you?" "You want to just do it again?" "Okay." "Mm." "* oh * * don't wanna wait *" "Hey." "I thought you had the day off today." "Uh, yeah." "Uh, maya's got a history exam tomorrow," "So I'm doing her ultrasound today." "Oh, you're so sweet." "I just got some really good news." "Oh, god." "Oh, no." "What?" "The bitch is back." "The woman who threw the cup of coffee at my head?" "Yeah." "She's here?" "She's waiting for me in my office" "With her husband right now." "God." "Why they'd even bother" "To do marriage counseling again." "You know she calls that poor sweet man the weasel?" "Violet, she threw a coffee cup at my head." "I have a scar." "she's got anger issues." "Yeah." "you know, I mean, deep, unresolved anger issues." "Oh!" "look at you." "I know." "Crazy, huh?" "Your mom's on her way up." "You ready?" "Oh, you were gonna tell me something?" "I'll tell you later." "Are you still, uh, not talking to me?" "Okay." "I had sex with charlotte last night." "It was supposed to be just dinner," "But it became dinner with sex." "I don't know what to do." "I had to do it, violet." "I couldn't lie on the stand." "Come on, really?" "I need to talk to you." "Talk to somebody else." "H-hello?" "Dr. Turner?" "It is so good to see you." "Mm." "Oh." "It's great to see you, too, claire." "Um... yeah." "She's happy." "Yes, I can see that." "No, I mean, really happy." "Irwin thinks I have dementia." "Sweetie, I don't think that." "It's just, you're usually not a happy person," "And you changed, just overnight." "Something's wrong." "Oh, just say it, irwin." "Come on, say it." "I was a bitch." "Right, dr." "Turner?" "It's okay." "I was a huge bitch." "right?" "But I am not anymore." "I'm feeling better." "And I'm doing charity work." "That--that's wonderful." "She gave away all of our money..." "Uh-huh." "To a church." "Didn't need it." "And now she's--well, we're having a lot of sex now." "You think he'd be thrilled." "I am, I am." "I..." "It's not her." "You know my wife." "Well, uh, c-claire, how would you explain" "This, uh, t-transformation?" "I can feel him in my soul..." "Inside me." "God." "I have found god." "I have been touched by the hand of god." "Stop staring at me like I'm about to keel over." "I'm fine." "I just--I just wish you wouldn't be so stubborn." "You know, you need to be resting." "I'll rest later." "Hey, guys." "Pete." "William, good to see you." "How you feeling?" "Oh, let's just say I'm glad to be home." "Uh..." "If you'll excuse me," "I have some work to do in my office." "Okay." "The flight from switzerland really took" "A lot out of him." "Is there anything I can do?" "Uh, I'm consulting with some a-list specialists," "See if the's something else that we can try." "He has to keep fighting." "I can't let him give up, not now." "Well, that's what you want." "What about what he wants?" "I think he's come back to die." "Thank you." "Hello." "I'm dr." "Montgomery." "Hi, I'm george walters." "This is my daughter kim." "Hi, kim." "The e.R. Doctor" "Says you're having a lot of back pain." "It started a few days ago." "It says here you're at 30 weeks." "You haven't had any prenatal care?" "We live on a farm." "It's difficult for us to get into the city." "Okay." "Uh, well, let's take a look here." "Is my baby okay?" "She's the appropriate size for her dates." "She?" "It's a girl?" "Oh, y-yes." "I'm sorry." "I" "I'd appreciate it if you could make it as quick as possible." "I'd like to take my daughter home." "Okay." "Weird how?" "I don't know." "Just weird." "You'll see." "Hi, I'm dr." "Bennett." "I'm a rdiothoracic specialist." "I'd like to speak with you about your scans." "Uh, if you'd like, your father can wait in the lounge." "I'm fine here." "Okay." "Well..." "Uh, what you have is an aortic aneurysm." "Uh, it's an abnormal widening" "Of the large artery in your abdomen." "We're going to need to do surgery." "We're hoping to avoid it until the baby's further along," "But we will need to keep you here under observation." "How long?" "I don't know." "Uh, we've ordered some repeat ultrasounds." "And we're going to need to review" "Your family medical history-- mother, father, siblings." "My mother's dead." "Why do you need all that?" "It's standard." "A medical history helps point us in the right direction" "When we're trying to evaluate a problem." "You and I can talk further" "While your daughter's undergoing the test." "No, I'm going with her." "Didn't your mother teach you, it's not polite to stare?" "Gabriel..." "I know you'rset with the way we left things." "But william needed me." "Hey." "I get it." "Any woman in your position would've made the same choice." "In this corner" "Angry, sarcastic guy in a wheelchair," "Who, obviously a dynamo in bed," "Can't exactly sweep you off your feet." "And in this corner, you got old moneybags," "Who, if you marry real quick, well, let's just say," "You'd make for an extremely attractive," "Not to mention wealthy widow." "I want you to try the a.L. S. Protocol on william." "The one that still needs f." "D.A. Approval?" "The one that would be completely delegitimized if we use it?" "Yes." "Will you do it?" "Wow." "Amazing." "Little miss moral compass" "Is suddenly willing to blow off everything she believes in." "Gabriel..." "I'm asking you to think about it." "Okay?" "Just think about it." "Hey." "So, uh, based on kim's repeat scan," "I recommend surgery now." "Oh, but the fetus is only 30 weeks." "It's too risky." "Yeah, well, blowing the aneurysm could be riskier." "Kim tested positive for the gene" "Associated with fibrillin disease?" "Yeah, it explains the aneurysm." "But it's an autosomal dominant disease." "I mean, it's inherited from the father." "Is she adopted?" "Well, george never mentioned it in his family history." "He doesn't have the disease." "He's not her father." "He can't be." "Well, then who is he?" "She says she feels god," "And it changed her." "Just like that, she changed?" "Just like that." "People don't change." "Of course they do." "They modify." "They adjust." "But underneath, we are who we are." "That's not true." "I-I know it's not true." "My entire career is based on" "Helping people become who they can be." "People do change." "I've seen it." "People just get better at covering up their flaws." "There." "What is that?" "that..." "Is claire's god." "Don't you guys have your own cereal downstairs?" "naomi doesn't let us" "Buy the kind with marshmallows in it." "Hey." "How do you get someone to talk to you" "That won't talk to you?" "charlotte?" "Uh, no, not this time." "Actually, we're doing okay." "It's violet." "She's being..." "I don't know, mean to me." "She's being mean to me, and she's never mean to me." "And I said I was sorry." "Well, just, uh, keep on keeping on." "Is that the best you can do?" "'cause I can get that from a bumper sticker." "She's hurt, cooper." "You can't expect her to come around" "As soon as you apologize to her." "Because even if she understands your explanation intellectually," "She, uh, still has to accept it..." "Emotionally." "And that takes time." "So keep on keepin' on." "Exactly." "Okay." "Hey, uh, you want to hear something pretty cool," "Something I haven't told anybody else?" "I got into u." "C.L. A. Medical school." "Oh, my god!" "oh, oh, oh, okay." "That's fantastic." "Congratulations." "Yeah, I have no idea how I'd pay for it, but" "Hey." "Oh, I'm sorry I'm late." "I hope I didn't miss all the fun." "No, we're just getting started." "Hey, mom." "Hey." "Thanks for having me here, hon." "Wow." "Three weeks to go." "Yeah." "Everything looks great." "Heart rate is strong." "Yeah?" "Yeah." "Oh, I remember my last month with you." "I was so nervous, kept looking up" "Every possible obstetric complication in the book." "I was driving your dad crazy." "It can be a little scary, you know?" "So do you have any questions?" "I'm fine." "You have a plan?" "I've got it all worked out- totally natural birth..." "Dell's doing the delivery here." "Uh-huh." "I do my squatting exercises in the morning," "My relaxation techniques in the afternoon." "That's so I won't need an epidural." "Um, my bag is packed," "And dink made a mix cd for my birthing music." "I'm so ready." "wow." "Wow." "You've just- you've thought of everything." "You don't have to worry about me, mom." "You not being around actually helped." "It gave me a chance to grow up," "Figure things out on my own." "Thanks for doing the consult, sheldon." "Ordinarily, I'd ask violet, but things have been" "A little weird since the tri" "Sheldon?" "I know, stopping elevators is your thing," "But today, I..." "I need to change things up a little." "Wait." "You need help..." "From me?" "Sheldon, you sent me a bill last time." "When I asked for elevator advice, you charged me." "All right." "Well, I'm gonna send you a bill, and I'm expensive." "I have many board certifications." "Only eight people in the world do what I do." "I can give you a pap smear, operate on your uterus" "And perform surgery on your baby before and after he's born." "Are you gonna listen to me or not?" "All right." "Spill it." "It's about charlotte." "I've been giving her advice" "On how to get back together with cooper, but the thing is," "I think about her, addison." "When she's not around, I think about the way she smiles," "The way she looks at me." "I-I..." "My god, I spend half my day coming up with lame reasons" "To go up and visit her." "D-do you know how many times I've borrowed stamps from her?" "I don't even use stamps." "I pay my bills electronically." "Listen to me, sheldon." "You want her?" "Go get her." "You have to try." "If not, you're gonna spend" "The rest of your life kicking yourself" "And wondering why you didn't man up and go for it." "Thank you." "Do you have the test results?" "Can we go home now?" "Actually, the results were inconclusiv" "We're gonna need her for one more test." "You can stay here." "Why?" "I want to be with her." "We need her for radiology, some x-rays." "You're not allowed in the room." "It's all right." "She'll be right back." "I'll be waiting for you here, kim." "Appreciate it." "God is in a brain tumor?" "I'm sorry." "That sounds ridiculous." "Well, it's actually a well-known phenomena." "The temporal lobe" "Contains the emotional engine of our brains." "It's the center of all of our feelings." "So anything--rage, lust, anger, passion, bliss" "Anything that stimulates that part of the brain" "Can elicit those feelings." "But they're not real." "They're just misdirected neural impulses." "They're..." "Random short circuits." "You're wrong." "They are real." "I can feel it." "It's happiness." "I've never felt it before, but..." "It's like I-I had this giant weight on my sulders" "And--and now the weight is lifted." "That doesn't just happen, that's not just..." "Chemical reactions in my brain." "And you know what?" "If it takes a magic bullet in my head to do god's work," "Then that's his plan." "It's a slow-growing tumor." "With surgery, your chance of recovery is excellent." "But without it..." "What, you're saying this tumor's gonna kill my wife?" "Without the surgery, you will die." "I spent three years" "In intensive therapy with dr." "Turner," "And I didn't have a happy bone in my body." "Now I've found god." "He's in me." "If dying is god's plan, then so be it." "I thought we were going to radiology." "Uh, we are." "I just wanted you to consult with one more doctor, kim," "Before we do your test." "Hi, kim." "I'm dr." "Wallace." "Nothing?" "Nothing?" "Did you- -did you check with n.I.H.?" "Yeah, I know, I know." "I knew it was a long shot." "Thank you for trying, dr." "Klein." "Okay." "What do I have to do, gabriel?" "Do I have to beg?" "Okay, I will beg." "What you're asking is unethical and illegal." "The protocol is not approved." "If I give it to william, it will never be." "And I am still askg." "No." "If you don't help him, he is going to die." "Well, then I guess he's going to die." "She's rational and oriented." "There's no evidence of delusional thinking." "She's entirely capable" "Of making decisions about her own treatment, so-- she can't decide." "She thinks she has a personal pipeline to god." "This woman was miserable her entire life until now." "And you are telling her to accept a treatment" "That would bring all that pain back," "To just live with it." "I-I may not agree with her decision," "But I certainly understand her refusal" "To let you do that to her." "Why would anyone choose to feel worse?" "Because without the surgery, she will die." "And claire understands that." "She believes it's part of god's plan." "If god is not gonna do his job," "I guess I'll have to do it for him." "So you don't remember your mother at all?" "No." "Well, how old were you when she died?" "I'm not sure." "You keep looking at the door." "Are you afraid your father's gonna come in?" "Or hoping he'll come in?" "Do you have plans for your future?" "Do you want to go to college or..." "My dad doesn't think I need it." "Well, the two of you, you're very close." "We have a special relationship." "How so?" "When's my dad gonna be back?" "Soon." "Kim, this abnormality you have," "It's a condition you inherit from a father" "Only from a ther- and george doesn't have it." "My dad says doctors don't kn" "What they're talking about half the time." "Well, your father..." "He seems to know everything." "Of course he does." "He's my dad." "Her answers felt rehearsed, you know, and planned." "And she's been extremely isolated." "She doesn't watch tv or use the internet." "She can't even remember the last time she left the farm." "I think we should call the police." "The police?" "I'm not 100% sure, but I think we may be witnessing" "A kidnapped girl and her abductor." "what?" "We're leaving." "Kim, get out of bed." "Get your stuff." "We're going home." "no, george." "You can't leave." "No, george." "Whoa." "This is my family, and we are leaving." "George." "G-george." "All right." "No." "George." "You're not going anywhere." "What are you doing?" "!" "get back into bed, kim." "Kim." "Let him go!" "Kim!" "Yes, I need security." "3-0-1 east." "You're hurting my father." "I love you." "Please." "You're going to hurt him." "We're family." "You have to get back into bed." "Sam!" "Sam, a little help here." "She's unconscious. okay." "She's bottoming out." "Call the o.R. We got a triple-a that's bleeding out." "Okay." "Easy." "Are we gonna talk about this?" "Huh." "I guess we're not gonna talk about this." "There's gotta be something else." "Naomi..." "We've been through this." "Whatever time I have left, I want to spend it with you..." "I..." "Enjoying each other..." "Not chasing some impossible cure." "There's nothing left to do." "* now I'm feeling different *" "You can't leave." "What?" "I've made my decision." "Irwin and I are going home." "But you-- please don't try to convince me." "I'm happy." "I'm finally happy, and I don't wanna go back." "I understand how you feel." "No, you couldn't possibly." "My father was murdered." "My brother and I were there when it happened." "I-I was just a kid at the time." "I..." "But the bottom fell out..." "Of my whole world." "I-I was... *..." "Time *" "There was a dark place, and I was in it." "Until one day, this friend" "Gave me a pill." "And..." "I took it," "And all of a sudden..." "I felt okay," "Better than okay." "I felt good." "And so I kept taking them." "And I felt..." "Great." "And when people would try to get me to stop" "And tell me that it wasn't real, I would just laugh," "Because it was real." "How I felt--it was better." "It was better..." "Than being miserable." "But it almost killed me." "I was dead for three minutes." "And let me tell you, when you are lying on a stretcher," "Gasping for what you think are your last breaths," "You don't think that dying happy is better than living sad." "Dying..." "Sucks." "* 50 crying all the times *" "It hurts..." "In a way that I can'tescribe to you." "And, no..." "I don't believe that people can change." "I don't believe that you'll change." "But maybe I'm wrong." "And, hell, maybe you will wake up from that surgery" "And you will be happy." "But if you're dead, if you are rotting in the ground" "From some tumor that ate your brain," "You don't get a chance to find that out." "* is it gone?" "Is it gone?" "Or is it floating... *" "And one more thing, and then I will go." "I'm..." "I'm not a religious person." "I..." "Don't believe in god." "But if I did..." "I wouldn't believe in a god that wanted you to die" "The horrible, painful death that you will experience" "From a giant tumor that will take away your ability to speak" "And see and go to the bathroom and breathe on your own." "That can't be god." "*..." "A little more delicate *" "Okay." "Wait a minute." "Claire." "No, no, it's too dangerous..." "And god is telling you" "See, maybe she's right." "Maybe this is what god wants." "All right?" "I'll do it." "I'll do the surgery." "*" "* oh, no, where did all... *" "We're losing her, sam." "All right." "Hang another 4 units on the infuser." "Suction." "She's bleeding out." "Cross-clamp the aorta." "There's too much blood in the field." "I can't see a thing." "Give me your hand." "Give me your hand." "* that was handed to... *" "Okay, you feel that?" "Right there." "You feel it?" "No." "Move closer." "*..." "Make sense *" "Okay, now push down." "Right there." "Don't stop." "* is trying to find a way to let you know *" "Okay, more suction." "All right." "2 centimeters to the left." "Got it." "There we go." "Debakey clamp." "* can't it just be over?" "* pressure's coming up." "* cry until it's all gone *" "Okay." "* time for us to... *" "So cire is in pre-op." "She said I'd find you here." "* I'm tired of trying to find a reason why *" "You know, dr." "Shepherd is an excellent surgeon." "It'll be okay." "No, it won't." "No, you were there." "You were in therapy with us." "It was hell living with her." "*..." "Thinking 'bout my life *" "You know, suddenly, I find" "The woman I've always dreamed of," "And in aew hours, she might be gone." "I'm not sure I have it in me" "To love the old claire anymore." "See, I love her the way she is now... with that damn tumor in her head." "*..." "Yesterday * * but the hardest part... *" "I don't know" "What's gonna happen after the surgery." "But we've seen claire for who she can be." "And I do believe the joy she feels now" "Comes from a deeper place than a lesion in her head." "Somewhere inside of her..." "That part must exist." "Do you really believe that?" "* and we'll just cry * * cry, cry until it's all gone * * been holding on for too lon*" "You may be smart and insightful and some kind of super shrink," "But I know cooper, and I shouldn't have listened." "Charlotte" "He is who he is." "He's funny, neurotic in that way" "My mama warned me wouldn't be cute after a while" "And a freak between the sheets, but he's not any more than that," "And he isn't gonna be." "* cry *" "Well, I will be..." "More to you." "I..." "I will be." "You're right." "You should expect more." "Atrust and emotional supporte, and intellectual stimulation." "And you should expect that he'll be there for you" "Unconditionally, no matter what you do," "No matter what life brings you," "And--and sex, too--great sex" "Plus a great recipe for haggis." "I mean, you should get everything." "I'll give you everything," "The whole package, right down to the picket fence." "I'll give it to you." "Sheldon wallace." "I'm throwing my hat in the ring." "Have dinner with me..." "Tonight." "*..." "A reason why *" "You were great." "I was great." "Yeah, we did good." "Good?" "We saved two lives today" "Two for the price of one." "I mean, how often do you get to say that?" "I mean, can you imagine dropping that at a dinner party?" "We saved two lives today." "I mean, who's gonna top that?" "Yeah." "We're always good together." "When it's just us..." "We're great together." "But we live in the real world," "And it's taken me a while, but I'm--I'm okay with it." "We'll be friends." "We'll be neighbors." "But we can never beore than that." "Naomi told me that you're refusing to give william" "Your a.L.S. Protocol." "Protecting my research." "One day, when this drug is approved by the f.D.A." "And saving thousands of lives," "Naomi will realize it was more important" "Than the life of just one man." "Really?" "That's your reason?" "Because if it is, that's good." "If you're saying no because you want to get naomi..." "Mind your own business." "Does she know that you're in love with her?" "Oh, screw you." "You're pathetic." "Oh, coming from the guy who dragged violet through a trial?" "I didn't drag violet through a trial." "She dragged me." "You turned her friends against her." "Are you kidding me?" "And now you're keeping her away from her child?" "You're gonna call me pathetic?" "Go on, hit me." "You think I can't take a punch in the face?" "You're not worth it." "You know what?" "I am so sick of being the guy in the chair." "The guy in the chair never gets the girl." "And this time, I am getting theirl." "So screw the chair." "Come on." "Hit me." "Who's the bigger man now, pete?" "Come on." "Hit me." "You're letting william die so you can have naomi." "The chair is not what makes you the smaller man." "Get out." "Not until you listen to what I have to say." "Okay, then I'll get out." "Okay, when you sent sam into my office" "The first weeks that we worked here to fake fire me" "For looking atdult web sites on my computer, I forgave you." "Oh, cooper." "Are you kid- when you told annie mersel," "Who I'm pretty sure I was falling in love with," "That I wasn't the marrying kind because" "You couldn't picture us together in 20 years, I forgave you." "Cooper" "Puking in my new car, puking in my old bed" "Or using the 1910 silver dollar my grandfather gave me" "For my bar mitzvah to pay the pizza guy..." "But that's what friends do." "They screw up," "And sometimes, they hurt each other..." "And you forgive them." "That's what friendship is." "That's what love is." "I'm going to leave you now." "But I leave you with this..." "You once told a woman I had just started dating" "That I have a very small nightstick," "Which was unforgivable and also..." "A lie." "And I let it slide." "Mm." "What..." "What happened?" "Your aneurysm ruptured," "But we were able to repair it." "My baby?" "She's doing great." "Kim, we spoke with the fbi." "They're trying to track down your biological parents." "Where's george?" "He can't hurt you." "We have a police officer stationed at the door." "You are safe here." "No." "You don't understand." "I need to see him." "I love him." "The procedure went well." "I'll probably send claire home in a few days." "And the rest?" "We'll see." "where the hell are they- -the damn doctors?" "I am tired of waiting." "I'm sorry." "I can't." "Claire." "You lied to me, you bitch." "You pushed me to do this." "Now I have nothing." "Nothing!" "You shoulda let me die happy." "he kidnapped her, assaulted her" "And kept her away from her real family," "And she still wants to see him?" "The police said george held her captive for 15 years." "He's been the only person in her life," "Putting clothes on her back and feeding her" "And making all the decisions in her life." "To her, he is her real family." "It's the only love she knows." "Oh, it's just too perverse to comprehend." "Well, all kim sees is that he took care of her," "Protected her." "Have they located her family, her parents?" "I mean, maybe when she sees them" "She's been totally cut off from the world." "And over time, that old love she knew" "Became vague, faded memories." "And eventually, in order to survive," "His beliefs become her belief" "And his reality becomes her reality." "*..."

"And part of it's not my fault." "Part of it's what happened to me," "But there's this- there's this other piece," "And..." "You loved me." "And I should've leaned into that." "I should've let you take care of me." "But I didn't..." "Because..." "Because I don't know how." "You know, I'm that person." "I'm a shrink." "I take care of other people, but" "And I should've let you take care of me..." "But I didn't." "So when I asked you to share lucas with me," "Of course you said no." "I-I shouldn't have been hurt."
