"capture:frm@çòçò sync:frm@ó²°î°î" "Sounds like you're enjoying that." "Mm-Hmm." "So you would say it was worth the unscheduled stop." "Mm-Hmm." "Because i'm just saying, if you could have waited," "We could have been home by midnight." "There's plenty of food in the fridge." "I get it." "You're nervous." "It's your first night out since you had Hope." "I know it's totally irrational." "Especially since I know I can trust Alison." "She's been sitting for J. J. Since he was a baby." "If it makes you feel any better," "I got a vision off of Alison's backpack." "She puts Hope to bed early." "She lets J. J. beat her at Uno." "And then she watches notting hill and repeats every Julia Roberts line perfectly." "Where's the ketchup?" "Oh, I threw it in the backseat." "Oop!" "There's the ketchup." "Oh!" "This just in." "There's another cheeseburger in there." "Oh, yeah!" " Go for it." " Oh, I will." "Do we really have to listen to this again?" "We just saw him perform." "Oh, come on, I just wanna hear this one song again." "And again." "And again, and again." "Remember that concert in '94 we went to?" "Oh, Elvis Costello at Great Woods." "That was a fantastic show." "In fact, that whole weekend was pretty fantastic." "Wasn't all fantastic." "Somebody forgot that the Sox got swept by the Orioles that weekend." "Oh, come on." "I'm not that bad." "Are you okay?" "Yeah, I'm fine." "I bet you're regretting having that second burger now." "Sarah, we're in the middle of nowhere." "What are you doing?" "You are burning up." "You can hardly breathe." "I'm getting you checked out." "You're overreacting." "I don't think so." "Come on." "I can't stay here." "Johnny, you need to see a doctor." "I'll wind up in a coma." "Johnny." "Help!" "Somebody help!" "Seems like you have a small staff here." "Cutbacks." "We have to run a smaller staff on the night shift." "But the doctor on call tonight is the best." "102." "I'm gonna page the doctor." "You're not leaving until the doctor sees you." "Lions...flowers..." "Lions." "Flowers." "You're seeing lions?" "Lions and flowers." "Flowers." "Lions." "Dr. Cole's on his way." "Are you familiar with his medical history?" "What do you need to know?" "Any major illnesses, surgeries, hospitalizations in his past?" "He was in a coma for six years after a car accident." "And he just...woke up one day?" "It was unexpected." "Sounds like a miracle." "Okay." "Who should I put as his emergency contact?" "Me." "Sarah Bannerman." "And your relationship to Mr. Smith?" "Friend." "You sure about that?" "It's" " It's complicated." "I know how that goes." "Hi, there, Mr. Smith." "I'm Dr. Cole." "All right, let's see how you're doing." "Excuse me." "I'm gonna try a little something." "Does it hurt when I press here?" "No." "How 'bout now?" "Aah!" "Okay, okay." "If you'll excuse me a minute." "Uh!" "I gotta keep moving." "I know you want to go, but let's wait to see what the doctor says." "He's gonna kill me." "He's gonna kill me." "Looks like appendicitis." "We're prepping the operating room." "You're gonna operate now?" "Well, can't we just wait till we get him back to the hospital at home?" "I need to get in there before it bursts." "Don't worry" " If everything goes well, you'll be on your way home tomorrow." "Ohh..." "He's burning up." "I'm gonna get the doctor." "Turner." "What?" "Call Turner." "You want me to call sheriff Turner?" "Okay." "That is the fever talking." "I promise, Johnny, nothing bad will happen to you here." "Let's just get you better, okay?" "It's freezing in Reno." "It's freezing in Reno." "Shh." "I'm sorry, but this is as far as you can go." "Don't worry." "He's in great hands." "Dr. Cole is amazing." "Thank you." "And you're sure you're all right to spend the night, Alison?" "And the kids are okay?" "Okay, well," "I'll let you know when I hear news." "Thank you." "Oh, excuse me, Dr. Cole?" "Is Johnny out of surgery?" "Oh, yes." "I thought Carrie had told you." "I would have found you myself, but this patient needed my attention." "So is everything okay with Johnny?" "His appendix was inflamed, but not ruptured." "So his recovery shouldn't take too long." "He'll probably be awake and talking in the next half hour or so." "Oh!" "That's great." "Well, I can't wait to ask him about all that crazy stuff he was saying before he went into surgery." "Freezing in Reno?" "Oh, there was more." "Lions, flowers." "Something about calling the sheriff." "Lions and flowers and the sheriff." "Oh, my!" "I should write a book of all the things people have said when they have a fever." "I could do a whole chapter on Elvis alone." " Miss Bannerman, if you'll excuse me." " Oh, of course." "Thank you, Dr. Cole." "Alison, good news." "Sorry." "That's okay." "I must have drifted off." "Hmm." "He should be awake by now." "Let's see what's going on." "Paging Dr. Cole to room 114." "Dr. Cole, 114." "I paged the doctor to take a look at him." "You think something's wrong?" "His pulse seems a little slow, but i'm sure he's fine." "I just want the doctor to confirm it." "Okay." "Thank you." "How long have you two been friends?" "All our lives." "You must be so close." "Sometimes I think it doesn't matter when we met." "We'd still feel like we've known each other forever." "Doctor, why isn't he awake yet?" "Well, let's take a look." "Mr. Smith?" "I thought this was routine surgery." "It was." "So what aren't you telling me?" "With Mr. Smith's medical history, there's an increased risk for complications from the anesthesia." "Complications?" "You said everything was okay." "He's not responding to stimuli." "There appears to be some impaired cognitive function." "So what are you saying?" "Mr. Smith seems to have slipped into a vegetative state." "You mean... a coma?" "I'm so sorry, Johnny." "I can't believe we're back here." "I never thought I'd have to face losing you again." "I thought we'd have more time." "Good morning." "I'll need you to look these over and fill them out." "Can it wait a little bit?" "Of course." "I was thinking-- We should try an FMRI, see if any part of his brain's receptive to stimuli." "You know, maybe we could-- We could jumpstart" "I'm sorry, Mrs. Bannerman." "There are no shortcuts for regaining consciousness." "He'll probably just wake up on his own." "Maybe I should get a second opinion." "No offense." "None taken." "In fact, it's a good idea." "Maybe one of his doctors from before will have some insight that can help us." "That's what I was hoping." "In the meantime," "I have an excellent record of caring for patients in persistent vegetative states." "If you'd like to look at our facilities..." "That won't be necessary." "Johnny won't be here for long." "Dr. Gibson's on vacation?" "Well, is there anyone else available?" "Yes, this is an emergency." "Okay, well, have her contact me when she can." "Thank you." "You're watching me like you play." "Oh." "I studied cello." "A million years ago." "But you... at least you know what you're doing." "Yeah, my pops used to tour with Charlie Parker." "I guess a little something rubbed off, huh?" "When I was eight," "I told them I preferred classical over jazz." "That was my way of asserting my independence." "Your husband, he's recovering from his appendectomy?" "No, he's not my" "No." "He took a turn." "He's... in a coma." "I'm sorry." "Maybe you'd like to bring him in here with the others." "These are the long-term PVS patients?" "Um, I'm just not ready to see Johnny with this group yet." "You think they can hear you?" "Absolutely." "How long have they been in here?" "Well," "Laura and Jerry got here about two years ago, a few months apart." "Neither one of them's had any visitors." "No friends or family?" "No." "Just seems the world forgot about them." "So I brought them in here, started playing." "I figure... spending some time together, sitting in the sunshine, listening to some piano can't do them any harm." "And the other woman?" "Oh, that's Marcy." "She's been here about six months." "She's the only one that's had a visitor." "Yeah?" "Yeah." "This guy came by a couple days ago, said he was her brother." "Spoke to Dr. Cole about moving her closer to home." "West Virginia." "Haven't seen him since, though." "Then they're all alone." "Sorry to steal Mr. Clark away, Dewey, but he needs a CT scan." "You can keep playing for Ms. Lyons and Ms. Flowers, though." "Sure." "Lions and flowers." "What were you trying to tell me?" "You're holding up great." "Well, I figure I can either fall apart or I can help him." "But I can't do both." "He's lucky he has you." "Sometimes I wonder if there's anyone in my life who worries about me like that." "Aren't you and Dr. Cole together?" "Am I that obvious?" "It's sweet." "It's a cliche." "I graduated from nursing school a year ago, moved to a town where I didn't know anyone, and fell for the first doctor who took an interest in me." "But I couldn't help it." "He was so smart and... compassionate." "It seems like there's a "but" coming." "Sometimes I wonder why someone his age has never been married." "Never even been close." "What about him?" "Why isn't there a ring on his finger?" "He was engaged once." "He's even luckier than I thought." "You're still right here by his side, complications and all." "He would do the same for me." "Then you're lucky too." "Dr. Cole." "I know you don't want to try the FMRI, but there has to be something we can do to try to wake johnny up." "The best thing we can do right now is monitor him." "Well, I'm sorry, but that sounds an awful lot like doing nothing." "Maybe I should move him to another hospital, one that's more aggressive." "Transferring him is not advisable." "Why not?" "He's stable." "We don't know if he's stable after just a few hours." "Moving him requires sedatives and paralytics, which, at this stage, might hurt his recovery." "This must be very hard on you, especially given Mr. Smith's history." "Please, keep coming to me with your concerns and ideas." "We need to work together if we're gonna do what's best for him." "I will." "He's bad." "He's a bad man." " What?" "Who?" " The doctor." "Uh" " What?" "Dr. Cole." "You have to save me." "Okay, calm down." "I'll go get someone, okay?" "No." "No." "Gotta keep moving." "What did you say?" "He'll kill me." "He'll kill me." "Johnny, what did you see?" "I can't believe I'm doing this." "Yes, I need to speak to sheriff Turner." "It's urgent." "I hope you don't mind me asking, but why is the Penobscot county sheriff interested in a hospital outside of her jurisdiction?" "Just doing a favor for my friend here." "Not to worry." "Dr. Cole, what was wrong with that bald patient that I saw you with earlier?" "What bald patient?" "The bald man that you were pushing in the wheelchair last night." "When I asked you if Johnny was out of surgery." "Mrs. Bannerman called me because she was concerned about this man." "I'd love to help, but I don't have a bald patient." "Well, yes, you do." "And he told me that you were going to kill him." "Exactly like Johnny said he would." "M" " Mrs. Bannerman..." "You've had a very stressful night." "Believe me, it takes its toll." "You sound like you're in shock, remembering events that never happened." "I'm not imagining things." "Look, you know, um, maybe you should get checked out." "You seem a little...off." "You told me that you believed me when I said Johnny had" "Let's just talk about that later, okay?" "Mrs. Bannerman," "I really think you should let me examine you." "No." "I'm fine." "Why did you cut me off out there?" "Dr. Cole didn't need another reason to think you're crazy." "All right." "So what's the next step?" "I'm gonna get in my car and drive an hour and a half back home." "What?" "We can't give up now." "Sarah, there's nothing going on here." "Yes, there is." "Johnny had a vision." "And isn't he always right in the end?" " So this is about Smith." " Yeah, of course it is." "That makes this a medical issue, nothing I can help you with." "You can help me to save Johnny." "Save him from what?" "That is what I'm trying to figure out." "You know what I think?" "I think he didn't have any visions." "He had appendicitis." "And Dr. Cole is right." "You're in shock." "You just lost your husband," "And now you're about to lose the real love of your life." "I" " I'm sorry." "I shouldn't have said that." "You are trashing Walt's memory with your investigation." "Do you really think that I would have called you if Johnny hadn't seen that I needed to?" "What do you want me to do?" "Does that mean you're actually going to help me?" "Look, I've learned not to ignore Smith's visions." "So if you really believe that this guy" "I do." "Dr. Cole was lying about that patient." "I guess it can't hurt to look into the doctor." "Thank you." "Look, I know you and I got off on the wrong foot because of the investigation." "And I hope you know it's nothing personal." "I wish you didn't think of me as the enemy." "I appreciate your help." "I'm gonna go make a call." "I'll let you know what I find out about Dr. Cole." "Freezing in Reno." "Doctor..." "Cole..." " Sheriff, you need" " He's clean." "No malpractice claims." "No suspicious gaps in his employment history." "He and his wife even funded a library for their kids' school." "He's married?" "No crime in that." "In fact, there's no evidence that Dr. Cole's anything other than an upstanding citizen." "Yes, there is." "No, no." "I know he was here." "I saw the doctor leave this room." "And then I found him." "I watched him die." "You're accusing Dr. Cole of murder?" "That's gonna be hard to prove without a body." "I'm telling you, there was one." "Well, who knows where the bodies go?" "You're looking for what?" "A body." "A man, about 35, bald." "Have you seen him?" "Okay, never mind the corpse." "Does it sound like any patients you've seen around here?" "Doesn't sound like any...patient." "It sounds like Marcy's brother." "The man who was here a few days ago but hasn't been back?" "Yeah." "Uh..." "Look, I took this so Marcy would have some memories when she went back to West Virginia." "There." "That's him." "Marcy's brother tried to move her to a different facility, so Dr. Cole killed him." "When I wanted to move Johnny," "He said that it wasn't in Johnny's best interests." "He doesn't want to give up control of his patients." "That's hardly a motive for murder." "Yeah, but you have to admit he's guilty of something." "I am suspicious." "So, show him that photo." "See what he says." "Dr. Cole has an answer for everything." "There has to be someone else around here who knows that he's up to something." "I have an idea." "You're wasting your time." "He's a good man." "He's a liar." "Well, he's never lied to me." "Yes, he has." "He's married, Carrie." "Married?" "No way." "I would know." "So then you know about his three kids." "Three kids?" "Let me guess" " You always go to your place because his bachelor pad is unfit for company." "You can never take a vacation because it would look suspicious if you two were away at the same time." "Oh, God, I've been so stupid." "He's hurt you, Carrie." "And i think he's trying to hurt Johnny." "Stop trying to protect him." "Where's the body?" "What body?" "The patient that Dr. Cole murdered." "M" " Murder?" "He wouldn't kill anyone." "He's just after money." "Money?" "He's defrauding the insurance companies." "And what else?" "What else, Carrie?" "When trauma victims come in, he does research into them." "If they're wealthy, he forges a power of attorney form and gets complete control of both their care and their bank accounts." "And then steals their money?" "But only if they don't have any family." "See, this way, he keeps away any friends or relatives who are trying to come in and check in on their loved ones." "But then somebody's brother showed up." "And if he relocated his sister to another hospital, they would have figured out what Cole was up to." "That he was controlling their money by putting them in comas." "That sounds like a motive for murder." "Oh, my God." "When Johnny came out of surgery," "I told Dr. Cole that he wanted me to call you." "He thought Johnny was on to him." "That means he must have put him in a coma to try to kill him." "And it's all my fault." "There might still be time." "He must control the coma through the IV." "If it's unhooked, then" "I'll check on Johnny." "You go look for Dr. Cole." "Get away from him." "Mrs. Bannerman" "I know what you've been doing." "Get away from him." "Get out!" "Johnny." "I just had a vision of this." "We gotta stop Cole." "We don't have much time." "Good morning." "I'll need you to look these over and fill them out." "Can't it wait a little bit?" "Of course." "I'm sorry." "Do you mind if I have a few more minutes alone with him?" "Of course." "It's okay." "He didn't see it, did he?" "What are you doing?" " Johnny." " I'm fine." "I gotta do this." "Get back in that bed." "You just woke up from an induced coma, not to mention appendix surgery." "Listen, a man's life is in danger." "I'm just trying to save him." "Johnny, you saw the whole day in a vision." "Why don't you tell me what to do?" "You need to rest." "Look, we're wasting time arguing." "I'd rather be a moving target for cole." "If Dr. Cole was giving you drugs through an IV to keep you in a coma, how'd you wake up?" "In the vision, you uncovered Cole's plan," "Because you were fighting so hard for me." "The last thing I saw was Dr. Cole trying to attack you to protect his secret." "He was attacking me?" "Yeah, he was trying to kill you." "Then I woke up." "Wait" " Just like that?" "I wouldn't let anything happen to you." "Okay, so where are we going?" "We need help." "Who do we trust?" "The last person you trusted in my vision." "No." "No, there's no way he would hurt his patients." "Please, you have to trust us." "If johnny says that Dr. Cole's about to hurt" "Marcy's brother." "It's the man who stopped by here a couple days ago to move her." "You know Marcy's brother?" "No." "But I know he's in danger from Dr. Cole." "Oh, and how could you possibly know that?" "The same way I knew your idea of acting out was to tell your pop you preferred classical music to Charlie Parker." "I think it's about time we get you back to your room." "Please." "Would you rather take the chance that we're wrong?" "I'll be damned." "Let's get him out of there." "Here, take these off." "Johnny!" "He's coming around." "He's gonna be okay." "He used a slow-release drug on you and Lyons" "So it would look like you died of natural causes." "They're still trying to figure out how involved the nurse is." "But, based on what you said, sounds like she's an accomplice." "Not on the attempted murders." "Once they tell her Dr. Cole's married and has a family, she'll be a very helpful witness, I'm sure." "So you really figured all this out in a coma, Smith?" "No, not exactly." "I started getting vision flashes as soon as I got here." "I would get glimpses of things that I didn't understand because of the fever." "And then Sarah..." "It was like I was having a vision through her." "Then all the pieces started coming together." "Okay, well, I'll take your word for it." "So she actually helped me in your vision?" "You guys made a great team." "Really." "Would I lie to you?" "I don't know how to thank you." "Oh, don't worry about it." "How are you doing?" "I'm still trying to understand everything." "But..." "I'm glad my brother's here to help me." "He's all I've got." "Take care, guys." "I know this is a lot to take in all at once, but, uh, anything I can do to help." "You've already done plenty." "We're gonna go somewhere where we can sit in the sunshine and listen to the piano." "We wanted to thank you for all your help." "Oh, don't mention it." "Must be nice, huh?" "Coming out of something like that and... realizing the person you needed most has been right there beside you all the time." "Put your seatbelt on." "I'm getting you home safely." "What?" "You kissed me." "Oh." "It's just..." "Tell me." "I've been really happy staying with you these past few months." "And you've been such a help with J. J." "and Hope." "It's like I woke up one day and I realized that I was living this life" "that I haven't dreamed about in a dozen years." "And then you were in a coma, and... and suddenly I thought that I was gonna lose you all over again." "No." "No, no, no, no, no." "Sarah." "Sarah." "Your kiss saved my life."
