"Doctor, you wouldn't be the first angel of mercy to help end patients' suffering." "Hold on, doctor." "I thought you were fact-finding." "I am." "So if there's something you want to tell us, you should tell us now." "Like what?" "That I'm going around with a syringe full of bacteria infecting these people on purpose?" "All right, that's it." "Let's adjourn." "The Chicago Police will be contacting you." "You might want to think about hiring counsel." " Is that your dog?" " Yeah." "Speedy." "He's lost." "Somebody order crayons?" " Oh, thanks." " You're welcome." "Did you finish your shift?" "I'm waiting for Luka." " Is it always like this?" " Pretty much, yeah." " I really admire what you do." " Oh, you get used to it." "No." "I meant you." " I always wanted to be a nurse." " Really?" "At the hospital where my mother died, the nurses treated me like their daughter." "They gave me ice cream and dolls to play with." " They were like angels." " Have you seen my patient?" " Which one?" " Wes." "The one you met." " I talked to him maybe an hour ago." " He's gone." "You finished stitching his hand, right?" "Yeah, but the social worker has to see him." "Maybe he didn't want to get that tube removed." "I didn't tell him I wanted to do that." " Did you?" " No." "I didn't say anything." "Abby, if you see Adele, could you tell her that my patient eloped?" "Sure." "Don't worry." "He'll be okay." "He's on the street with a serious coagulopathy, drug habit, no money." " Well, if he left home, I mean" " What?" "And stayed away this long, maybe he doesn't want to be found." "Rachel?" "!" "Damn it!" "Rachel!" "It's okay, sweetie." "It's okay." "It's okay." "It's okay." "I know." "Oh, it's all right, darling." "He's cute, but don't you think he should cut his hair?" "Rachel, turn off the music and get off the phone!" " Two seconds." " Hang up!" "I gotta go." "My dad's wife is freaking." " What's wrong?" " You're supposed to be babysitting." " I am." " Ella was screaming." " Oh, sorry." " Did you feed her?" " I wasn't supposed to until she woke up." " Well, she's up now, isn't she?" " You want me to feed her now?" " Yes, I want you to feed her now." "Listen, I want you to be responsible." "To think about something other than yourself." "I said I was sorry." "I didn't hear her crying." "You didn't care to listen." "You were playing that crap and talking about rubbish to your friend." "If you're so worried, then why don't you stay home with her?" "I mistakenly thought that you were reliable enough to do it." "Well, then forget it." "I'm calling Lynn back." " No, you don't." " Elizabeth!" " Warm up that milk." " No!" " Now!" " She's your kid." " You're living in my house." " You can't tell me what to do." "Oh, yes, I bloody well can." "You know what?" "You need to chill out." "This is my house." "You can't talk to me that way." "Boy, my dad sure can pick them." "Rachel, you do not want to battle with me." "You'll lose." "I guarantee it." " Your shift's over, isn't it?" " Yeah." "What are you, a med student again?" "I sent him home." "I loved being this age, having a crush on a guy, finally meeting him at a party." "She probably went home all excited, wondering what would happen next." "She has a chance." "Yeah." "I just want to be here whichever way." "Don't stay all night, okay?" "Dr. Lewis, there's a woman on line two calling from Omaha." "Thanks." " Good night." " Good night." "You make me drive all the way over here?" " What is your problem?" " You'd know if you'd take my calls." "I have 100 things to do during the day." "More important than your son?" "More important than refereeing you and Jackie." "I was 20 minutes late." "She uses that to keep me from him?" "We need to rethink the visitation thing." "It's complicated." " It's Jackie who's messing things up." " Jackie is his aunt." "And I'm his father!" " His what?" " I'm one of his fathers." "Look, Roger, I..." "I appreciate you caring for Reece." "I thought this time was important to make a transition." " Transition?" " But right now, you know what?" "You need to let go." "Peter, look, I'm willing to work out a schedule or something." "No." "Reece has one father, and that's me." "We both know that's not true, don't we?" "Carla said you're not his real father any more than I." " You want to back up with that." " So don't think you can just dump me..." " ..." "like you're more important to him." " I am more important to him." "You don't call me anymore." "You don't come near the house." "Stay away from Jackie and stay the hell away from my son." " Are you gonna do it again?" " Seriously, I think it worked." "It feels much better." " Needles in your back?" " Yeah." "It was a bonus." "I didn't realize you were a masochist." "Whatever works." "I should run home and get my whip." "Yeah, you do that." " You almost off?" " Yeah, 15 minutes ago." " What are you still hanging around for?" " And miss this late-night stroll?" "It's starting to get a little chilly out here." "I got asked out by a fireman today." "Really?" " Ankle guy?" " Yeah." " Hard to believe?" " No." " He's good-looking." " Big?" " Yeah." "Funny." " Invite me to the nuptials." "All right." "You gotta help me out." "I don't know what to do." "Rub your back?" "I'm just not exactly sure what I'm supposed to do here." "I'm not exactly sure how I'm supposed to comment on your love life." "I said no because I was waiting for something to happen..." " ... with us." " You've been waiting?" " Yeah." " You weren't doing much..." " ... to move it forward." " No, you gave me an ultimatum." "You gave me an ultimatum, and I did what you asked and you've done nothing." " What did I ask you to do?" " I broke up with Luka." "First, you didn't break up with Luka for me." " I didn't?" " No." "Second of all..." " ... you didn't break up with Luka." " I'm pretty sure I did." "Well, then why do you care so much about what he does or what he thinks or-?" "I dated the guy for a year." "There's gonna be some history." "Maybe too much history." "Well, yeah, I had a life before John Carter." "If you want someone with no history you're gonna have to find yourself a virgin." "No." "I'll settle for someone who isn't hung up on somebody else." "You don't have to settle for anything, Carter." "I talked to her." "She's at Andrew's." "And?" "He said he'd have her back by 10." "End of a great day." "That investigator was totally out of line." " He all but accused me of homicide." " It's crazy." " What if people believe him?" " They won't." "You know what's really crazy?" "I feel guilty." " Elizabeth." " I do." "Four people are dead." "I was their doctor, and I can't explain what happened." "Well, the answer certainly isn't that you were euthanizing people." "Then I come back home, and I take it out on a 14-year-old." "That's a fair fight." "She didn't do what she said she was gonna do." "That's worth a conversation." "I'm gonna have that with her." "I don't think I can handle this, Mark." "I was barely handling working and looking after the baby." "You can." " I can't." " Oh, hey, hey, hey..." "We'll work this out." "Okay?" "We'll lay down the rules for Rachel." " We'll get you a lawyer if we have to." " Oh, God!" "We got fights ahead of us." "We know that." "But we're together." "And we got children." "We're happy." "That's a lot." "That's a lot." "Hey." "I called your mom." "She's flying in." "You had us a little worried." "Subtitles by SDI Media Group"
