1. ER
Copy !req
2. Previously on ER...
Copy !req
3. They got you on oxigen?
Copy !req
4. I need help living my life, Mark,
you'll be the first person I call.
Copy !req
5. I mean, he did every crappy assignment
that the Navy wanted him to do.
Copy !req
6. And it didn't matter. He never got the nod.
Copy !req
7. - Oh. No, that's not what-
- You want to talk about this at dinner?
Copy !req
8. - I made you feel uncomfortable.
- You didn't.
Copy !req
9. Your father loves you very much, Mark.
Copy !req
10. He may not show it in the way
that you want him to, but he does.
Copy !req
11. "Family Practice"
Copy !req
12. Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to San Diego.
Copy !req
13. Remain seated until the aircraft
has come to a full and complete stop.
Copy !req
14. Flight 89 from Chicago has arrived.
Copy !req
15. We apologize for the delay...
Copy !req
16. and will begin boarding for
continuation in just a few minutes.
Copy !req
17. Mark?
Copy !req
18. Dad, I told you I'd rent a car.
Copy !req
19. Your mother appreciates you coming.
Wishes she could've called herself.
Copy !req
20. - They get her knee wired?
- And put in a cast.
Copy !req
21. I warned her not to use
that footstool like a stepladder.
Copy !req
22. Were you there?
Copy !req
23. I was out in the garage.
Copy !req
24. I don't have any bags.
We can go.
Copy !req
25. We've got to wait.
Your friend's coming.
Copy !req
26. She tried to catch up with you
at O'Hare, but she missed you.
Copy !req
27. What friend?
Copy !req
28. Surprise!
Copy !req
29. Hi, Mark.
Copy !req
30. Hi.
Copy !req
31. Dad, this is Cynthia Hooper.
Copy !req
32. I hope you weren't just being
polite on the phone.
Copy !req
33. Sounded like your hands were full,
and I just really wanted to help out.
Copy !req
34. It's nice of you.
Here, let me take that.
Copy !req
35. - Thanks.
- I got it.
Copy !req
36. - How was your flight?
- It was great.
Copy !req
37. Especially the landing.
I've never seen the Pacific before.
Copy !req
38. Do you have luggage?
Copy !req
39. I think I packed too much.
Copy !req
40. You look like your dad.
Copy !req
41. I can't believe they lost my bags.
Copy !req
42. Your mom will be disappointed
if you don't stop by.
Copy !req
43. - The new hospital looks nice.
- Best facility in the country.
Copy !req
44. I couldn't let you do this alone.
Copy !req
45. It's sweet, but what about
your shifts?
Copy !req
46. I left a message for Kerry Weaver.
Mark, this is family.
Copy !req
47. I know it's your family, but...
Copy !req
48. Mrs. Greene. Mrs. Greene, please.
Copy !req
49. - Be careful, please.
- No, don't make me stop.
Copy !req
50. I thought sailors loved the cancan.
Copy !req
51. - Hi, Mom.
- There you are!
Copy !req
52. Oh, I'm so glad!
Copy !req
53. - You okay?
- Look what I did.
Copy !req
54. I'm so mad at myself.
Copy !req
55. Well, accidents happen.
Copy !req
56. All I can do is cancan,
and the corpsman says I can't cancan.
Copy !req
57. Cancan.
Copy !req
58. What meds is she on?
Copy !req
59. Morphine and a benzo.
Copy !req
60. - Ativan?
- Dr. Sayers is tapering her off.
Copy !req
61. - Dr. Sayers? Is that her orthopod?
- He's the neurologist.
Copy !req
62. - Why does she have a neurologist?
- Can I fill in your son?
Copy !req
63. A mother has to have some
secrets, right?
Copy !req
64. - Could you get him?
- I'll see who's on call.
Copy !req
65. - Hello.
- Hi.
Copy !req
66. This is Cynthia Hooper.
Copy !req
67. Nice to meet you, Mrs. Greene.
Copy !req
68. - You're getting married?
- No, we're not...
Copy !req
69. thinking about that now.
Copy !req
70. - At least you're not a sourpuss.
- I hope not.
Copy !req
71. His first wife had a real sour streak.
Copy !req
72. Mark, as much as I hate to say it,
I'm afraid Rachel's got it too.
Copy !req
73. - You can visit tomorrow.
- We gotta say good night.
Copy !req
74. Okay, baby.
Night-night. Sweet dreams.
Copy !req
75. - I love you.
- You too. See you tomorrow.
Copy !req
76. - Nice meeting you.
- Good night. Bye-bye.
Copy !req
77. - Good night, Mrs. Greene.
- Bye, sweetheart.
Copy !req
78. I want to speak with Dr. Sayers,
on call or not.
Copy !req
79. - Your mother's heavily medicated.
- That's not my mother.
Copy !req
80. Did she hit her head
when she fell?
Copy !req
81. For the fifth time, I have no idea.
She didn't mention it.
Copy !req
82. Maybe something slid off
the shelf and hit her.
Copy !req
83. - Dr. Sayers says it's normal.
- I disagree.
Copy !req
84. - Looks like a little low-density to me.
- What would that mean?
Copy !req
85. - She wasn't acting like this before?
- You mean being emotional and all?
Copy !req
86. No, I mean being loony
and out of control.
Copy !req
87. She wasn't that bad.
Copy !req
88. It's the morphine.
That's what Dr. Sayers said.
Copy !req
89. With her blood pressure,
I don't want to take any chances.
Copy !req
90. Excuse me, Dr. Greene?
Copy !req
91. I have Dr. Sayers for you.
Copy !req
92. Dr. Sayers is a straight shooter.
Copy !req
93. I respect the man. Your mother's
getting first-rate care.
Copy !req
94. They owe her that.
Copy !req
95. Don't you worry about this.
Mark is gonna get to the bottom of it.
Copy !req
96. No, it doesn't look like artifact
to me.
Copy !req
97. That's not good enough. I want
the MRl done tomorrow morning.
Copy !req
98. What a nice, quiet neighborhood
you live in.
Copy !req
99. Got beer in the house?
Copy !req
100. Look. You may find a couple
in the garage.
Copy !req
101. May I please use your bathroom?
My eyeballs are ready to float.
Copy !req
102. Yes, ma'am. Through there.
Copy !req
103. Nobody says that anymore.
"Yes, ma'am."No, ma'am. "
Copy !req
104. It makes you feel better
just hearing it.
Copy !req
105. Yes, ma'am, it does.
Copy !req
106. Oh, I feel so much better.
Thanks for the shampoo.
Copy !req
107. Is this too weird?
Copy !req
108. No. Me in my old bed.
You in my mom's bathrobe.
Copy !req
109. Not weird at all.
Copy !req
110. I can take it off.
Copy !req
111. That's all right.
Copy !req
112. Do you think your dad minds
that I'm here? I think he likes me.
Copy !req
113. Of course he likes you.
What's not to like?
Copy !req
114. He's really beating himself up
over your mom.
Copy !req
115. That'd be a first.
Copy !req
116. I'm sorry. Just being here
brings out the adolescent in me.
Copy !req
117. Flip over. I'll do your back.
Copy !req
118. So this was your bed growing up?
Copy !req
119. From age 8.
Copy !req
120. We moved it from Jacksonville,
to Norfolk...
Copy !req
121. to Corpus Christi, to D.C.
Copy !req
122. So that's why you curl up
when you sleep.
Copy !req
123. Your feet are hanging over
the edge of the bed.
Copy !req
124. All through high school.
Copy !req
125. And during high school you would lie
in this very bed...
Copy !req
126. And think about Kate Jackson.
Copy !req
127. Kate Jackson? Not Farrah Fawcett?
Copy !req
128. No. Farrah Fawcett's too scary.
Copy !req
129. And Holly Fecteau.
The girl next door.
Copy !req
130. Who would one night...
Copy !req
131. sneak into this room...
Copy !req
132. pick up the covers...
Copy !req
133. and slide into the bed,
next to you.
Copy !req
134. What?
Copy !req
135. Nothing.
Copy !req
136. - We're late.
- I told you to give me a shout.
Copy !req
137. You took so long to get
cleaned up.
Copy !req
138. You don't just turn off a router
and walk away.
Copy !req
139. - There he is.
- Who?
Copy !req
140. Dr. Sayers.
Copy !req
141. Dr. Sayers!
Copy !req
142. You've caught me, sir.
Copy !req
143. It's addiction when you're running
late and stop for your morning fix.
Copy !req
144. This is my son, Mark.
Copy !req
145. Nice to meet you.
You get a few hours sleep?
Copy !req
146. A few.
Copy !req
147. I'd like a triple grande,
non-fat cap. Gentlemen?
Copy !req
148. - No, thanks.
- I'll take a tall latte.
Copy !req
149. - Coming up.
- We're Navy, but we're still California.
Copy !req
150. - And one of those almond buns too.
- Yes, sir. Coming up.
Copy !req
151. I know you're concerned.
Copy !req
152. Her history of high blood pressure-
Copy !req
153. And she has an upgoing right toe.
It suggests stroke.
Copy !req
154. CT didn't confirm that, and I didn't
detect hemiparesis or hyperreflexia.
Copy !req
155. That's why I wanted the MRl.
Copy !req
156. I was waiting to complete
a neuro exam before more tests.
Copy !req
157. - Mark, if that's better-
- Dealer's choice.
Copy !req
158. - My concern is giving your mom time-
- Time could be her worst enemy.
Copy !req
159. It's why we moved it up.
Copy !req
160. I'd like to be present
for the neuro exam.
Copy !req
161. You're tapering her off the narcotics,
but, frankly, I'm-
Copy !req
162. Present arms!
Copy !req
163. Mrs. Greene, we're going to begin
the first sequence.
Copy !req
164. Okay.
Copy !req
165. This will take about
a half an hour, Mom.
Copy !req
166. It's important that you don't move or
speak. Just take shallow, easy breaths.
Copy !req
167. This first sequence will take
21/2 minutes to shoot.
Copy !req
168. Beginning now.
Copy !req
169. Where did my dad go?
Copy !req
170. He said he'd be back after lunch.
Copy !req
171. Went back to his garage.
Copy !req
172. He's building a wheelchair ramp for
my mom when she comes home.
Copy !req
173. It's all he's worried about.
Copy !req
174. - It'll come in handy.
- Okay.
Copy !req
175. Hang in there, Mrs. Greene.
You're doing well.
Copy !req
176. No.
Copy !req
177. - No.
- Just relax.
Copy !req
178. - No!
- I'm here, Mom. I'm here.
Copy !req
179. Mark?
Copy !req
180. I can't stand it!
Mark, get me out!
Copy !req
181. All right, stop it.
I'm getting her out.
Copy !req
182. Oh, please! Oh, please!
Copy !req
183. It's okay. I'm here, Mom.
I'm here.
Copy !req
184. It's okay.
Copy !req
185. - Don't move your leg.
- I can't stand it!
Copy !req
186. What's the matter with me, Mark?
Copy !req
187. It's normal.
It's a normal reaction.
Copy !req
188. I was all alone!
Yes. I was all alone!
Copy !req
189. You're not alone now. I'm here.
I'm here for you, Mom.
Copy !req
190. You're a good boy, Mark.
Stay with me, please?
Copy !req
191. I'll stay. I'll stay. I'll stay.
Copy !req
192. Just like always?
Copy !req
193. Just like always.
Copy !req
194. How's that ramp coming?
Copy !req
195. Taking a break.
Copy !req
196. What did the doctor say?
Copy !req
197. Just presumptive diagnosis.
Copy !req
198. Doctor's best guess.
Copy !req
199. Her symptoms present like
a deep-tissue disease...
Copy !req
200. in the frontal lobe of the brain.
Copy !req
201. MRI and second CT don't indicate
stroke or injury.
Copy !req
202. Sayers is thinking...
Copy !req
203. multi-infarct dementia.
Copy !req
204. What's that?
Copy !req
205. Small infarcts, too small to detect...
Copy !req
206. in the brain tissue.
Copy !req
207. It could manifest as disinhibition...
Copy !req
208. and it fits with her history of
hypertension.
Copy !req
209. Can you explain that in English?
Copy !req
210. What's an infarct?
Copy !req
211. A series of very small strokes.
Copy !req
212. - What can they do about it?
- Not much.
Copy !req
213. Take a wait-and-see approach.
Copy !req
214. - Do you still box?
- No.
Copy !req
215. You always had the footwork for it.
Copy !req
216. I hated the whole thing.
Copy !req
217. You made that clear.
Copy !req
218. What do you think about this
wait-and-see for your mother?
Copy !req
219. I think the whole thing stinks.
Copy !req
220. Dad?
Copy !req
221. Dad?
Copy !req
222. Greene residence.
Copy !req
223. No, she's not.
Copy !req
224. Hold on just a second.
Copy !req
225. What was that? Stanley?
Stanley what?
Copy !req
226. What's this regarding?
Copy !req
227. Well, she may know,
but this is her son...
Copy !req
228. and she'll be tied up this week.
I don't think she's gonna keep...
Copy !req
229. her appointment, whatever it's for.
Copy !req
230. Right. Okay.
Copy !req
231. I'll pass it along.
Copy !req
232. It's like a foreign language.
You have to grow up in it.
Copy !req
233. Hey, good morning!
Copy !req
234. - My luggage didn't come, did it?
- Nope.
Copy !req
235. - Dad, do you know a Stanley Black?
- No.
Copy !req
236. - Where does Mom go every Thursday?
- What do you mean?
Copy !req
237. On her calendar, 2:00 is marked on
Thursday for the last few months.
Copy !req
238. Could be her women's group at
the Family Services Pavilion.
Copy !req
239. Which group is that?
Copy !req
240. Spouses of retired officers.
Wives get together.
Copy !req
241. Is that for bridge,
service projects, or what?
Copy !req
242. It's your mother's group.
I have no idea.
Copy !req
243. Who wants breakfast?
I'll make eggs.
Copy !req
244. You already got one burning.
Copy !req
245. You take that one, instead of
sneaking mine when I'm not around.
Copy !req
246. You counting cigarettes now?
Copy !req
247. I'll pass on breakfast, thanks.
Copy !req
248. I didn't start that.
Copy !req
249. He was in a good mood before.
Copy !req
250. What were those three items that
I asked you to remember earlier?
Copy !req
251. There were three.
Copy !req
252. Yes. One was a phone book.
Copy !req
253. - Were they important?
- Not really.
Copy !req
254. But do you remember?
A phone book...
Copy !req
255. an apple and...?
Copy !req
256. Banana?
Copy !req
257. No?
Copy !req
258. - Do I lose points for guessing?
- Not at all.
Copy !req
259. Let's move on.
Copy !req
260. I'm going to tell you a saying. It's
something that you've heard before.
Copy !req
261. - I want you to tell me what it means.
- Okay.
Copy !req
262. "People who live in glass houses
shouldn't throw bricks. "
Copy !req
263. Have you heard that one?
Copy !req
264. Yes, I have. I've heard it.
Copy !req
265. And what does it mean?
Copy !req
266. I should get this.
Copy !req
267. We've lived in lots of different
houses, haven't we, Mark?
Copy !req
268. Never a glass house.
Copy !req
269. "People in glass houses
shouldn't throw bricks. "
Copy !req
270. Well, people shouldn't throw bricks.
Copy !req
271. Even if it's close quarters,
and it usually is.
Copy !req
272. You've got to get along with
the other families.
Copy !req
273. They're all in the same boat you are.
Copy !req
274. The children are probably
the ones throwing the bricks.
Copy !req
275. And how do the mothers stop them
if the fathers aren't around?
Copy !req
276. It's always the mother's fault.
Copy !req
277. Even if she doesn't wanna have
the children in the first place.
Copy !req
278. That was a trick question.
Copy !req
279. But I think I've got it, sneaky.
Copy !req
280. If you live in a glass house...
Copy !req
281. there are no bricks to throw.
Copy !req
282. Right? Right?
Copy !req
283. - Dr. Greene?
- Yes.
Copy !req
284. Okay. I've got Corey-Bloom...
Copy !req
285. Acta Neurologica Scandinavia...
Copy !req
286. McLaughlin, Sandison and Flostein.
Copy !req
287. Thank you.
Copy !req
288. I'm off at 12, but you're
welcome to stay if you need to.
Copy !req
289. I will.
Copy !req
290. Hey.
Copy !req
291. I thought you were asleep.
Copy !req
292. I woke up.
Copy !req
293. - Sorry I got ahead of you.
- Don't you dare apologize.
Copy !req
294. I thought you were with me.
Copy !req
295. You are the most considerate man
that I've ever been with.
Copy !req
296. Every single time doesn't have
to be about me.
Copy !req
297. Still, I...
Copy !req
298. I don't know where you get it.
Copy !req
299. You know, being so generous?
Copy !req
300. If I had whatever it is
that your mom has...
Copy !req
301. and if I just said everything
that was on my mind...
Copy !req
302. I would thank both of your parents for
raising a son who's such a good lover.
Copy !req
303. You bring it out in me.
Copy !req
304. You lie.
It has nothing to do with me.
Copy !req
305. You take care of people.
Copy !req
306. Yeah.
Copy !req
307. That's me, the caretaker.
Copy !req
308. It's not a bad thing.
Copy !req
309. I'm like a magnet for needy people.
It's like they find me wherever I go.
Copy !req
310. Like I did?
Copy !req
311. No.
Copy !req
312. Yeah, Mark. I lean on you.
I mean, it must be a drag.
Copy !req
313. No.
Copy !req
314. It's just all this stuff with my mom.
Copy !req
315. Yeah. You're just overwhelmed
right now.
Copy !req
316. Very still, Mom. Very still.
Copy !req
317. What's this one for?
Copy !req
318. We want to rule out encephalitis.
Copy !req
319. It may be why you're not feeling
like yourself.
Copy !req
320. Isn't that why they scanned my belly?
Copy !req
321. That was to rule out Paraneoplastic
Syndrome.
Copy !req
322. Almost done.
Copy !req
323. How many more rule-outs are left?
Copy !req
324. Are you getting tired?
Copy !req
325. The other doctor said I could go home.
Copy !req
326. He signed off on the knee. They still
have to do an EEG tomorrow.
Copy !req
327. It doesn't have to be done.
Copy !req
328. If it's Jakob-Creutzfeldt,
I don't wanna mess around.
Copy !req
329. How about a brain biopsy
while we're at it?
Copy !req
330. I know I'm pushing you for a more
aggressive approach than you're used to.
Copy !req
331. I can be thorough without
being aggressive.
Copy !req
332. All done, Mrs. Greene.
Copy !req
333. - Can I go now?
- Probably in another day or two.
Copy !req
334. If my mother were in the ER, I'd
be terrible support for her.
Copy !req
335. I don't have the temperament for ER.
Copy !req
336. I don't have the temperament
for passive treatment.
Copy !req
337. Is your mother sick too, doctor?
Copy !req
338. No, my mother's fine.
Copy !req
339. Your indulging me in a few tests
is not enough.
Copy !req
340. I want a second opinion.
Copy !req
341. I'll ask the head of Neurology.
Copy !req
342. No. I'll find a civilian.
Copy !req
343. - She's been seeing this shrink.
- What for?
Copy !req
344. The guy wouldn't tell me
without a release.
Copy !req
345. I'm gonna meet with him
at the hospital tomorrow.
Copy !req
346. Sorry, son.
Are you a retired naval officer?
Copy !req
347. No, my father is.
We're meeting him here.
Copy !req
348. I'm afraid I'll have to
ask you to leave.
Copy !req
349. - Give me a break.
- It's club night.
Copy !req
350. You need to be with a retired officer.
Copy !req
351. He's on his way. He's late.
Copy !req
352. You'll have to wait for him.
Copy !req
353. You're wrong, pal. We're seated.
Copy !req
354. We'll have a draft and a margarita.
Copy !req
355. You got it.
Copy !req
356. - What are you buying me?
- I beg your pardon?
Copy !req
357. You're as stubborn as your old man.
Copy !req
358. Don't tell me you're
as cheap as he is too?
Copy !req
359. Admiral J. Jackson, retired.
Copy !req
360. You better be Dave Greene's son or I
just got myself into a hornet's nest.
Copy !req
361. That's right. Mark Greene.
This is Cynthia Hooper.
Copy !req
362. How do you do?
Copy !req
363. Your dad just called to say
he'd be late.
Copy !req
364. So, what are you drinking?
Copy !req
365. Not a drop more.
I'm late for dinner as it is.
Copy !req
366. Pleased to see you again, though.
Copy !req
367. We met your senior year.
You were considering Annapolis.
Copy !req
368. My dad was considering Annapolis.
Copy !req
369. Well, you can't blame your old man
for trying.
Copy !req
370. Turn down a flag billet
for your family...
Copy !req
371. you want your son to
make the grade.
Copy !req
372. - What's a flag billet?
- Admiral.
Copy !req
373. His dad was in line.
Middle of his command tour.
Copy !req
374. He took himself out of the running.
Copy !req
375. Why? Didn't he wanna be admiral?
Copy !req
376. Long story.
Copy !req
377. - Put their drinks on my tab.
- You're sure you don't wanna stay?
Copy !req
378. Admiral J., nice to see you, sir.
Copy !req
379. Sorry I have to run.
Copy !req
380. I could relive the Korean conflict
for you young folks.
Copy !req
381. How's Ruth?
Copy !req
382. - She'll be home tomorrow.
- She will?
Copy !req
383. That's what I said.
Copy !req
384. Lucy and I'll drop by
when she's feeling better.
Copy !req
385. - Nice seeing you, meeting you.
- Same here.
Copy !req
386. - What can I get you, Dad?
- Not a thing.
Copy !req
387. - Something wrong?
- Why'd you say Mom's coming home?
Copy !req
388. She's had her last test.
Copy !req
389. - No, she hasn't.
- Yes, she has, Mark. Syphilis?
Copy !req
390. - What?
- You tested your mother for syphilis?
Copy !req
391. - Are the results back?
- No.
Copy !req
392. No. I stopped the whole damn thing.
Whatever gave you the idea?
Copy !req
393. I need an explanation.
Copy !req
394. What the hell do you think
of your mother?
Copy !req
395. The symptoms fit.
Copy !req
396. What the hell do you think of me?
Copy !req
397. Settle down, Dad.
Why don't you use your inhaler?
Copy !req
398. - Is your oxygen in the car?
- Some damn nerve.
Copy !req
399. If the test is so unthinkable,
what's your fear?
Copy !req
400. - You're accusing me?
- No!
Copy !req
401. He didn't mean it like that.
Copy !req
402. - I need a diagnosis.
- You need someone to blame, like always.
Copy !req
403. Take it easy, Dad.
Copy !req
404. Don't you patronize me.
Copy !req
405. There's no need for you to meddle.
Copy !req
406. Should I get your oxygen?
Copy !req
407. - Insults your mother.
- Okay, great.
Copy !req
408. Go back to Chicago and
leave us alone. I mean...
Copy !req
409. she's going home!
Copy !req
410. Good. I'll tell that psychiatrist
she's been secretly seeing...
Copy !req
411. not to come to the hospital.
Copy !req
412. What the hell are you talking-?
Copy !req
413. She's going to a shrink,
not a sewing circle every Thursday.
Copy !req
414. - Why would she do that?
- Mark, come on.
Copy !req
415. Or is that me meddling?
Making too much trouble?
Copy !req
416. When her life with you is
so picture-perfect!
Copy !req
417. All right, Dad. Take a breath.
Take a breath.
Copy !req
418. Where's your albuterol?
Copy !req
419. - Shall I get the oxygen?
- Yes, go!
Copy !req
420. - He's not breathing.
- Get him on the ground. Call 911 for him.
Copy !req
421. All right. Let him down easy.
Copy !req
422. Your dad's peak flow improved to 250.
Has a pH of 7.38 on 10 liters.
Copy !req
423. His PO2's 65. His PCO2's down to 48.
Copy !req
424. It won't get better.
He's a heavy smoker.
Copy !req
425. Yeah. We've got him on
125 Solu-Medrol IV.
Copy !req
426. Captain Greene, do you feel better?
Copy !req
427. I feel fine.
Copy !req
428. I know you've been under stress
with your wife admitted upstairs.
Copy !req
429. That's right.
Copy !req
430. That may have brought on the attack.
Copy !req
431. We'll keep an eye on you here
in the ER for a few hours.
Copy !req
432. - Why don't you come back later?
- Thanks.
Copy !req
433. Kind of gave us a scare.
Copy !req
434. Is Cindy with your mom?
Copy !req
435. Drove her home.
She was asleep on her feet.
Copy !req
436. You're not going to bother
your mother with this?
Copy !req
437. No. She doesn't need to know.
Copy !req
438. I'm sorry if I upset you.
Copy !req
439. - About that test for your mom?
- It's canceled.
Copy !req
440. No. Draw the blood.
Copy !req
441. You need to know.
Copy !req
442. I was treating her depression
with Paxil.
Copy !req
443. She failed to mention her hypertension.
Copy !req
444. I should let you know...
Copy !req
445. I'm getting a neurological
consult from a colleague at UCSD.
Copy !req
446. Dr. Hemmings. She was with her
when I arrived this morning.
Copy !req
447. But I told her I agree with
Dr. Sayers' diagnosis.
Copy !req
448. Multi-infarcts dementia in
co-morbidity with her depression.
Copy !req
449. I know it's not the diagnosis
you're hoping for.
Copy !req
450. It's not about what I hope for,
it's about my mother's care.
Copy !req
451. I'm sure you've heard about how
stubborn the men are in my family.
Copy !req
452. I know it's confidential.
Copy !req
453. Your mother signed a release. You can
know about her psychiatric treatment.
Copy !req
454. If I wanna know about my mom,
I'll ask her.
Copy !req
455. Be sure you want the answers. In her
current state, she's liable to tell you.
Copy !req
456. Mark.
Copy !req
457. Mark!
Copy !req
458. - What's wrong?
- Nothing.
Copy !req
459. You were gone for a long time.
Copy !req
460. - I guess I needed it.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
461. Dr. Hemmings called. She wants to
push up your meeting to 3:00.
Copy !req
462. It's the neurologist I called in.
Copy !req
463. - She's an old friend?
- Yeah. Went to med school.
Copy !req
464. She wanted to know if I'd
be coming along.
Copy !req
465. I figured you'd want to
talk about your mom privately.
Copy !req
466. Yeah. It's about her condition.
Copy !req
467. Hey, take turns or you'll
both get a time-out.
Copy !req
468. Thank you, Josh.
Copy !req
469. They say girls are more mellow.
Please confirm that.
Copy !req
470. Don't ask me.
Copy !req
471. - You have Rachel.
- Not full-time.
Copy !req
472. I remember when Rachel was born.
We were third-year.
Copy !req
473. I was so envious of you and Jen.
Copy !req
474. You? You were the most
driven student in class.
Copy !req
475. Yeah, but you were the most together.
Copy !req
476. You knew you wanted a family
and you went for it.
Copy !req
477. And now you've lapped me.
Copy !req
478. Twice.
Copy !req
479. If I knew you were on maternity
leave, I wouldn't have called.
Copy !req
480. It was my pleasure.
Copy !req
481. I was a little taken aback
when I found out...
Copy !req
482. that your mom's a patient of
Andrew Sayers.
Copy !req
483. He's hot stuff.
Gaining a national reputation.
Copy !req
484. I haven't been that wowed.
Copy !req
485. I'm really surprised at you, Mark.
Copy !req
486. Josh, no. Please.
We don't throw sand.
Copy !req
487. I thought the ER would be
a brief detour.
Copy !req
488. I thought for sure you'd end up
in family practice.
Copy !req
489. Really? I was that boring?
Copy !req
490. You know I didn't think that.
Copy !req
491. We were 25.
Copy !req
492. I was busy showing how
independent I was...
Copy !req
493. and you were going to be
the family man.
Copy !req
494. Now here I am, and you're a cowboy.
Copy !req
495. I still haven't given up on
the idea of having a family.
Copy !req
496. Yeah. Cynthia sounded sweet.
Copy !req
497. Still know how to cut to the quick,
don't you?
Copy !req
498. You wanna hear about your mom?
Copy !req
499. Do I?
Copy !req
500. Your mom may not fully return
to the way she was.
Copy !req
501. That's gonna take some
getting used to.
Copy !req
502. How's she doing?
Copy !req
503. She was asleep when I arrived.
Copy !req
504. I owe you an apology.
Copy !req
505. No. It's your mother.
Copy !req
506. But still, I...
Copy !req
507. - It wasn't personal.
- You don't have to explain.
Copy !req
508. My dad was in the Navy too.
Copy !req
509. Chip on my shoulder's easy to read?
Copy !req
510. Plain as rank.
Strong, hard-working father-
Copy !req
511. Never there.
Copy !req
512. But you followed
in your dad's footsteps?
Copy !req
513. I wish I could tell you
it got me closer.
Copy !req
514. - Give me a hand!
- What's going on?
Copy !req
515. We gotta move your dad.
I got a mass cal coming in.
Copy !req
516. They had a chopper crash.
A CH-46.
Copy !req
517. Holds a platoon?
Copy !req
518. Just had her crew aboard
and one injured.
Copy !req
519. - How many?
- Three!
Copy !req
520. - Evac's landed.
- Let's move!
Copy !req
521. Ready, one, two, three!
Copy !req
522. Ready? One, two, three.
Copy !req
523. She's got an eviscerating abdominal
wound. Get O-neg on the infuser.
Copy !req
524. BP is 40.
Pulse is weak and thready.
Copy !req
525. Ready? One, two, three.
Copy !req
526. - How bad are they?
- Pretty bad.
Copy !req
527. Fib!
Copy !req
528. They're gonna defibrillate.
They're gonna shock her.
Copy !req
529. I tried to pull up,
but the stick got heavy.
Copy !req
530. Fractured ankle.
Copy !req
531. The stick, it wouldn't budge.
Copy !req
532. - We were 30 feet off the deck.
- Don't worry, son.
Copy !req
533. - Are the others okay?
- They're doing everything they can.
Copy !req
534. We pitched forward.
I couldn't pull back.
Copy !req
535. I couldn't budge the stick!
Copy !req
536. Just thank God you weren't full.
Copy !req
537. I gotta help my crew!
Copy !req
538. Settle down, son.
You did your best.
Copy !req
539. - Couldn't pull the stick.
- Sounds mechanical.
Copy !req
540. You got the best doctors and
nurses and corpsmen in the world...
Copy !req
541. working on your crew.
Copy !req
542. Stop blaming yourself
and let them do their work.
Copy !req
543. Can you hear me, son?
Copy !req
544. Hey, buddy.
This guy's not breathing.
Copy !req
545. - He was just talking.
- No carotid pulse. Bag him.
Copy !req
546. He's crashing!
Copy !req
547. Corpsman, take over here!
Copy !req
548. It's a tension pneumo.
Copy !req
549. You're right. 14 gauge.
Copy !req
550. Notify the surgical
and critical care unit.
Copy !req
551. Is he okay?
Copy !req
552. Good call.
Copy !req
553. - Need some help?
- Yeah, I'm prepping for an escharotomy.
Copy !req
554. - Ever done a chest tube?
- I've seen two.
Copy !req
555. Do you have staff privileges?
Copy !req
556. I'm not licensed here.
Copy !req
557. - Can you show her?
- No problem. Chest tube tray.
Copy !req
558. What Dr. Greene says,
consider it an order.
Copy !req
559. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
560. Get the gloves on. I'll assist.
You'll need a 36 French.
Copy !req
561. Is he okay?
Copy !req
562. Should be. How about you?
Copy !req
563. Fifth intercostal space.
Mid-axillary line.
Copy !req
564. 20 cc's of xylocaine.
Copy !req
565. That's right.
Copy !req
566. Home sweet home!
Copy !req
567. You guys were so fast.
Dinner isn't even ready!
Copy !req
568. Look at the azaleas!
They never looked so good.
Copy !req
569. I picked off all the dead ones,
like you like them.
Copy !req
570. It is so good to be back,
I'm telling you.
Copy !req
571. - Welcome home!
- Thank you!
Copy !req
572. No wonder you took a spill.
Copy !req
573. I had to start cleaning things up.
I don't know what's there.
Copy !req
574. - Look. Was this yours?
- Mr. Funny Bear.
Copy !req
575. You loved the fur off this thing.
Copy !req
576. What is this?
Copy !req
577. Not that fiasco.
Copy !req
578. You remember? You saw it in the PX,
and you begged and begged me for it.
Copy !req
579. We hung it from the ceiling
in his bedroom.
Copy !req
580. It was Dave's first tour of Viet-
Was it his first tour?
Copy !req
581. - Don't remember.
- Must've been.
Copy !req
582. Your father put you in the cockpit
before he left.
Copy !req
583. You looked at this thing every night.
Copy !req
584. Till he got home
and laughed his head off.
Copy !req
585. We got the wrong damn plane.
Copy !req
586. That's a Phantom. Dad flew A-6's.
"What's that doing in your room? "
Copy !req
587. - He wasn't angry with you.
- He tore it down.
Copy !req
588. No, you tore it down, remember?
You got a spanking.
Copy !req
589. The one he replaced,
I tore that down.
Copy !req
590. Somebody tore something down.
Anyway, I'm hungry!
Copy !req
591. I'm really sorry about dinner.
I wasn't used to your oven.
Copy !req
592. Let me make you-
Copy !req
593. Every woman's not cut out
for the kitchen.
Copy !req
594. My generation, we had to be
natural-born wives and mothers.
Copy !req
595. That doesn't sound so bad.
Copy !req
596. I think he's back.
Copy !req
597. Sex isn't enough to hold
a family together.
Copy !req
598. Dave and I got the sex part right.
Copy !req
599. Can't count on that,
if you are counting on it.
Copy !req
600. We're not counting on anything.
Copy !req
601. - We're not?
- See? She's counting on it.
Copy !req
602. - What are we talking about?
- Sex.
Copy !req
603. - Whether sex means more than sex.
- Leave me out of that conversation.
Copy !req
604. Why don't you want to talk?
Copy !req
605. - I know why. You don't have to say.
- I hope pizza's okay.
Copy !req
606. I'm not hungry.
Copy !req
607. I am so sorry.
Copy !req
608. You are a wonderful, beautiful person.
Copy !req
609. But you don't love me.
Copy !req
610. I don't know.
Copy !req
611. Then you don't.
Copy !req
612. I was an idiot to come out here
like I was part of your family.
Copy !req
613. No, no, no. It's my fault.
Copy !req
614. I should've told you.
Copy !req
615. I was just being selfish.
Copy !req
616. You mean a lot to me.
Copy !req
617. I never intended to lead you on.
Copy !req
618. I thought we were both
enjoying ourselves-
Copy !req
619. Stop. Please.
Copy !req
620. This may be new for you,
but I've heard it before.
Copy !req
621. Too many times.
Copy !req
622. So I guess I ask for it.
Copy !req
623. I never should've let it
go on so long.
Copy !req
624. You know, we should go.
I don't want to miss my plane.
Copy !req
625. - You really don't need to leave.
- Yeah, I really do.
Copy !req
626. I'll be back in Chicago in a week.
We'll talk more.
Copy !req
627. We don't have to talk.
Copy !req
628. You know, there's a lot
that's good about us together.
Copy !req
629. I mean, I feel that way.
I hope you do too.
Copy !req
630. At least I got to see the Pacific.
Copy !req
631. Ready, Mom?
Copy !req
632. Yep, I'm ready.
Copy !req
633. Put your arm around my neck.
Copy !req
634. Lean on me. Good.
No weight on that leg.
Copy !req
635. I don't know why I can't
use the walker.
Copy !req
636. Wait until the therapist gives you
your lesson. Okay?
Copy !req
637. Don't empty that.
I might need to use it again.
Copy !req
638. The nurse isn't gonna be here
for an hour.
Copy !req
639. You've gotta let Dad and I help.
Copy !req
640. I do. I am.
Copy !req
641. It's time for your pills.
Copy !req
642. I'm tired of pills.
Copy !req
643. Just take the pills, Mom.
Copy !req
644. I can't get Dad to pay attention.
Copy !req
645. He pays attention.
Copy !req
646. Yeah. In the garage.
Copy !req
647. Don't be like that.
Copy !req
648. Is it true that Dad had a shot
at making admiral?
Copy !req
649. Yes, of course he did.
You know that story.
Copy !req
650. Remind me.
Copy !req
651. It was that Leadbetter boy.
He was such a bully to you.
Copy !req
652. Tommy Leadbetter?
Copy !req
653. He used to beat me up every day
in sixth grade.
Copy !req
654. You were scared of school.
Copy !req
655. I don't remember that part.
Copy !req
656. I made your father come back.
Copy !req
657. Of course-
Copy !req
658. I didn't tell him he had to, but I
knew if I wrote enough, he'd come.
Copy !req
659. That's when he took
that desk job in Hueneme?
Copy !req
660. And, you know,
he never once complained.
Copy !req
661. Dr. Black says...
Copy !req
662. you and your father are
responsible for your own feelings.
Copy !req
663. But I know I started it.
Copy !req
664. I blamed him. I blamed you.
Copy !req
665. I didn't want a baby.
Copy !req
666. It was too soon.
Copy !req
667. We'd only dated a couple of times.
Copy !req
668. Of course, when I saw you,
I loved you.
Copy !req
669. And I tried to make up for it.
Copy !req
670. But I'd already spoiled everything
between you and your father.
Copy !req
671. And it just kept going wrong...
Copy !req
672. no matter how much
I loved you both.
Copy !req
673. David!
Copy !req
674. David!
Copy !req
675. - What's going on?
- I don't know!
Copy !req
676. She's not in bed.
Copy !req
677. David!
Copy !req
678. - Help me! Help me!
- Help your mom.
Copy !req
679. Hurry up! Hurry up!
Copy !req
680. Oh, God! Hurry!
Copy !req
681. Dad, get the wheelchair.
Mom, what happened?
Copy !req
682. I just thought a little broth
would be nice.
Copy !req
683. We'll get you up slowly.
Be careful.
Copy !req
684. Dad, give me a hand.
Copy !req
685. On a count. One, two, three.
Copy !req
686. Easy, easy. All right.
Copy !req
687. Is your leg okay?
Copy !req
688. Oh, gosh! What if I broke it?
Copy !req
689. Slide back. There you go.
Copy !req
690. That's why you can't use that walker.
Because this can happen.
Copy !req
691. Oh, dear. I forgot to go
to the bathroom.
Copy !req
692. I'll clean up. You go ahead.
Copy !req
693. We have a non-injury accident
in the right-hand lane.
Copy !req
694. Traffic is extremely slow
on the Bay Bridge today...
Copy !req
695. with the U.S.S. Long Beach
home-ported at North Island.
Copy !req
696. - Is that gonna hold us up?
- We' re not going on the Bay Bridge.
Copy !req
697. I heard you say we
won't be back for lunch.
Copy !req
698. That's right. No more clues.
Copy !req
699. You used to bring me down here.
Copy !req
700. There used to be something to see.
Copy !req
701. Every one of those docks
used to be full.
Copy !req
702. - Dad?
- No, thanks. I've stopped.
Copy !req
703. You what?
Copy !req
704. I gave them up for your mother.
Copy !req
705. - Since when?
- Since the hospital.
Copy !req
706. Have you seen me take a cigarette?
Copy !req
707. You smoked two packs a day
for 50 years.
Copy !req
708. You must be going through some
heavy-duty withdrawals.
Copy !req
709. We saw the Kitty Hawk here, remember?
Copy !req
710. Yeah. It scared me.
Copy !req
711. It's huge.
Copy !req
