02x01 - Spasticity

[bunniefuu]

HANK: Last season
on Royal Pains.

How about today'
we save two for
the price of one?

ADMlNlSTRATOR:
You let a billionaire
hospital trustee die

to save some kid
off the street.

l made a judgment call.
You made a mistake.

EVAN: This trip is
going to get you
back on your feet.

HANK: What trip?
EVAN: To the Hamptons.

Boris Kuester
von Jurgens-Ratenicz.

Stay in my guest cottage
for the summer.

Be my concierge doctor.

JlLL: Concierge doctor to
the rich, and an on-call
doctor to the rest of us.

A Robin Hood of medicine.

Jill Casey.
Hospital administrator.

So that happened.

ADAMS: You and I have been
down this road before, Jill.

And which road
is that' Dr. Adams?

The one with your
personal life on one side'

your professional life
on the other.

Pick a lane, Ms. Casey.

My ex was
a local doctor' too.

So he's a doctor
and l'm a doctor.
That doesn't make me him.

I'm Divya.
Divya Katdare.

l'd like to be your PA.

My PA.
Physician assistant.

Your mother hired me
to help plan your
engagement party.

Your what?

DlVYA: You couldn't possibly
understand my situation.

ls this an
arranged marriage?

What ifshe gets engaged
and moves to London?

What are we
going to do?

ls Boris sick?

You can't let go
of my hand' can you?

No' l can't.

This thing you have'
it's genetic.

And as you've so
diligently discovered'
Hank' quite fatal.

You've known
your whole life.

How it would end? Yes.

My family medical history.

You don't want
your dad to see
how far you've come?

We worshipped him.

But then
when our mom got sick
and we needed him most'

he just walked out on us.

l don't give a damn
what he thinks.

Apparently' the check
you wrote them

for our new portable
EKG machine just bounced.

What's up?
We're broke.

What do you
mean' broke?
We got scammed.

By who?

I can't believe
you didn't tell me

that Dad took
all our money.

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHlNG]

Mr. Kuester von...

Boris will do.

l'm short on time.

l'm Divya Katdare.
l work for Hank.

l know who you
are' Miss Katdare.

And in a manner of speaking'
Hank works for me.

So' l'm hoping
at least one of us
knows where he is.

l'm sure he's
with a patient.

Well' we had
an appointment
21 minutes ago.

Shall l grab a copy
of Us Weekly

and take a seat
in the waiting room?

l'll see if l can
track him down.

Hank' Divya. Again.

Where are you?

[EXHALlNG]

[CELL PHONE RlNGlNG]

l can't seem to get
a hold of you.

So' l'll cover the visit

and try you again
when l'm done.

DlVYA: Any
other symptoms?

Yeah' l've had' uh'
pins and needles
in my hands and arms.

Hmm. What line of work
are you in' Mr. Fisher?

l produce and
star in a bunch of
silly infomercials.

Have you been working
very hard lately?

Actually' l've been
playing hooky.

My dad passed
away recently

and left me
this house.

Well' my condolences.
Thank you.

lt's been a lot of work'
sorting through everything

and l have not been
sleeping much lately.

Actually' that's
a symptom' right?

Not sleeping much lately?

lf you want
to put that down.

What do you think
might be wrong?

l think the sleeplessness
is causing anxiety.

And l think anxiety
is causing everything else.

l'm going to prescribe you
a low dose of Ativan.

That should
do the trick.

Great. Okay. Thank you.

Oh. l was
actually wondering...

Just out of curiosity.
ls there an actual
Hank in HankMed?

There is. But he's...

Ah. He's playing
hooky' too.

[RlNGlNG]

Hey. You've reached
Evan R. Lawson,
CFO of HankMed.

Please leave a message.
Thanks a lot.

[KNOCKlNG ON DOOR]

Dad.

The first vacation
he took us on

was a 20 minute drive
to New York City.

He called it the
''ultimate island getaway.''

This is where we stayed.

And this is where
you tried finding him
a few years later'

after he left on his
permanent vacation.

lt's not so
permanent anymore.

Dad's at the bank
right now.

He's getting us
our money.

Really?
Yeah.

And how long ago
did he leave?

He left 20 minutes ago.

He left a couple
of hours ago. Okay?

l woke up.
He'd left a note.

Look at that.
He stole your move.

[SCOFFS]

Come on' Ev.
Let's go home.

You made a hell of
a mess out there'

and you can't clean
it up from here.

No. l'm not
going home.

He's coming back
this time.

l guarantee it.

How long have you
been in touch with him?

What? He's our father.

Despite my best efforts'

it looks like
there's still one sucker
left in this family'

ready to buy
whatever Eddie R.
Lawson has to sell.

Last chance.
You coming or not?

Okay.

[DOOR SLAMS SHUT]

Have you seen
a green folder?

lt was right here
on the counter.

You mean it disappeared?
Without notifying you?

Again' sorry about that.

lt's fine.

l was just worried
about you guys.

Well' a little less
about Evan.

Somewhere deep
inside me
[SlGHlNG]

l probably knew
he was sitting in a
suite at the Waldorf.

[LAUGHS]

Sorry. l have not
seen a green folder.

Okay.

Any chance you can
help me decipher our
CFO's balance sheet?

How bad is it?

lt is the accounting
version of Pig Latin.

No' l meant financially.

Well... Because
we're net sixty

and our vendors
are net thirty'

we depend on
our reserves to
stay in the black.

ln English?

lf we don't find
some fast cash soon'
we are in trouble.

[SlGHlNG]

Evan.

Don't blame him.
Blame me.

My paycheck bounced.
l blame him.

No' l let him put us
in this position.

l should have
known better.

But l guess family can
cloud your judgment.

Tell me about it.

You want to talk about it?

You mean about my party?

About my involuntary
engagement?

About my impossibly
complicated future?

Yeah.
Not at all.

We have bigger
fish to fry.

l.e. your rain check

with your displeased
patient/landlord.

SPENCER: Are you sick
of trying to make
drinks at home

thatjust don't
end up right?

Ew. Yuck.

Whenever I try
to make drinks at home,

the proportions
are all wrong.

Well, not anymore.

[CELL PHONE RlNGlNG]

[SlGHlNG]

Well' tell me.
How does freedom taste?

Freedom?

Sorry to hear
you had to leave before
the actual ceremony.

I know. Me, too.

Must have been
something important.

lt was' uh...
lt was business.
And personal.

So, how did Raj handle
being left at the altar?

l really don't have time
for chit-chat' Evan.

l can't interpret
your kindergarten
level handwriting'

let alone your
Byzantine system
for insurance codes.

Whoa. Don't get your
scrubs in a bunch.

Everything's going
to work out just fine.

You need to get back here

and dig us out of the hole
that you put us in.

And you need to do it now.

This is the worst
possible time

for you to throw
into jeopardy

the one thing that
still makes any sense.

Oh' my God.
You went through with it.

Didn't you?

You got engaged.

Div...

SPENCER:
The Electronic Bartender
is yours now

forjust four easy
payments of $19.95.

[SPEAKlNG SPANlSH]

ls there any language
you don't speak fluently?

Hank.

[SPEAKlNG SPANlSH]

When you want to acquire
exquisite Cuban roses'

you have to go
where they are and
learn the language.

Well' you must have
imported them before
the '63 embargo.

You know your history.

What about my history?

Uh' l haven't finished
reviewing your file.

And not just
because l lost it.

l had to deal with
a family situation.

That's an explanation'
but not an excuse.

You know' Hank'
this is not a quid pro
quo arrangement.

You're welcome
to stay here as
long as you like.

Thank you.

But perhaps l'd be
better served by
another physician.

One with
fewer distractions.

Boris' you can trust me.

Yeah. Unfortunately'
l don't know
who you can trust.

You don't have the file'
Hank' because l have it.

l found it laying out
in the guest quarters'

like some coffee
table accessory.

Your file wasn't read.

Your privacy
wasn't violated.

And your trust
wasn't broken.

l had a rough morning
and missed an appointment.

And for that' l'm sorry.

Because quid pro quo or not'
you deserve better from me.

[SlREN BLARlNG]

NURSE: Thank you for
your help' Dr. Blair.

Uh' Jill? Can l speak
to you' please?

Hey' Liz. Uh' what are
you doing down here?

Funny. That
was my question.

l guess we're both used
to seeing the ER docs
handle this kind of work.

Too bad you seem
to be systematically
terminating them'

one by one.

That's rumor
and exaggeration.

You didn't fire Dr. Madden
at the horse show?

Oh' no' l did.

And before even
replacing him'

you didn't ax Dr. Casey?

Charlie said l fired him?

Do you have
a secret plan to
start cutting back

on patient emergencies'
as well?

Because if not' Jill'

l see a serious math
problem in our future.

[GASPlNG]

Maybe we should
discuss this later.

l understand that
we've just received

the latest
Press Ganey scores.

Patient satisfaction up 10%.

Thanks to your
efforts' l'm sure'

to integrate the
records systems

and streamline
the referral process.

Congratulations.
Thank you.

But l'm a highly-trained
Gl surgeon'

called down here
to run errands far
below my pay grade.

l'm also a member
of the board'

obligated to make sure
that surgeons like me

aren't wasting our time.

What are you saying?

What l'm saying is
that l'm really happy

that the patients
are so satisfied.

But the doctors aren't.

And that's a problem
that you need to fix.

Quickly.

DlVYA: And given
the projected income
from this...

Hi' Dieter.

Bye' Dieter.

And given the
projected income

of this week's rather
light schedule...

We'll be even worse
off in seven days
than we are now.

Sorry to paint
such a rosy picture.

What are we
going to do?

You're going
to do three things.

First' you're going
to stop worrying
about money'

because that's my job.

Second' you're going
to take a break

and replenish your body's
essential inventories
of sugar and caffeine.

And third' you are
going to join me

on a little magic
carpet ride

l like to call the HankMed
Emergency Staff Meeting.

You're about six
hours late for it.

Yeah' why are
you running so
behind today' Ev?

Because l had a meeting'
and l got stood up.

And l'm sorry for that.

But what l lack
in punctuality'

l will more than
make up for in vision
and in leadership.

l feel inspired already.

Over the next
couple of minutes'

you're going to hear all
about my turnaround plan'

which will restore
HankMed's fiscal health
and employee morale.

The first step
in the turnaround
plan is to...

[MUMBLlNG]

The first step is
to face reality and
manage expectations.

The truth is'
as word of our setback
begins to spread'

the phones will
temporarily stop ringing.

[CELL PHONE RlNGlNG]

Look at that.
Reverse psychology.

The phone falls for
that trick every time'
l find.

Hello' HankMed.
And how can we make you
feel so much better today?

Okay' calm down.

Do we know
a Spencer Fisher?

Yeah' we do.

He's at home.
He had an accident.

Okay. Very...
Just... Calm down.
Help is on the way' okay?

This is a
horrible connection.

Great' just stay
right where you are.

See' the rainmaker is back.
The rainmaker is back.

l just had to show up.
See what happens?

Then' stay here
and make it pour.

No security. No staff.

This guy sure digs
his peace and quiet.

Or he did.

Evan?
Why are you here?

l'm here to help re-boot
HankMed's finances

in any way
humanly possible.

Then' why don't
you sell that ''Hey'
check me out'' sign

you drive around in?

[CHUCKLES]

Wait' are you
being serious?

HANK: Yeah.

[BUZZER SOUNDlNG]

Whoa.

So' l brought our
new and improved
retainer agreement.

And why didn't you
tell me we were treating
''Spencer the Spaz''?

''We''?

''Spencer the Spaz''?

DlVYA: He's an
infomercial salesman.

EVAN: No' no' no' no' no.
He's the infomercial salesman.

This is the guy
who brought us the
Electronic Bartender.

Cha-ching.

Along with a parade
of other user-friendly
novelty blockbusters.

Hey' look. Our own
infomercial scholar.
How useful.

You never heard
his catch-phrase?
His mantra?

''Well' if l can do it'
anyone can.''

Mr. Fisher?
lt's HankMed.

SPENCER: l'm downstairs!

Just follow the lights.

What lights?

[LlGHTS CHlME]

That's the coolest
thing l've ever seen.

SPENCER:
They light up
as you go by.

This is insane.

SPENCER: Keep
following the lights.

Oh' l know that one.
SPENCER: Keep going.

Keep going. ln here!

l threw my back out'
and l can't move.

You're in where?
You're in the
giant fireplace?

Whoa' whoa' whoa.
That's a laser beam.

Ah. No' laser...

[EXCLAlMS SOFTLY]

What the hell?
Look at all this stuff.

SPENCER: Excuse me.
A little help' please?

DlVYA: Oh' my goodness.
EVAN: What the...

Grab this ladder' guys.

HANK: Let's get
his back against
this wall right here.

Okay.
Here we go.

Lower him down.
Whoa' whoa' whoa.
Good.

SPENCER: Oh' this
is a nice position.

HANK: l'm glad.
This is a good position.

Are we moving
from this position?
Yeah.

Because that
was a good one.

Here we go.

Okay. Gently down.
Okay. Keep your
back straight.

Careful.
Watch the neck.

All right. Easy.

[SPENCER GROANlNG]

Here you go' pal.

Wow. You're
''Spencer the Spaz.''

[CHUCKLES] Today
more than ever' huh?

Did you invent
all those products
in this room?

No' my dad did.

HANK: Divya filled me in
on your dad's passing.

l'm sorry for your loss.
Thank you.

They think it was
kidney failure.

But my dad died
like he did everything
else in his life.

Behind a veil
of secrecy. So...

Mr. Fisher' how did
you hurt yourself?

Uh' silly...
l was up in the ceiling'

trying to fix
some of the wiring'

and my back just
locked up on me.

Every time
l move' it hurts.

Well' that's got
to be normal' right?

With your level of spasticity'
you must be getting
injured all the time.

''Spasticity''' l've never
heard that one. That's good.

You know'
l'm not really a klutz.

That's just a
marketing strategy.

A way to sell more
self-cleaning sponges.

He's a genius.
You're a... That's...

You're more than
a genius' my friend.

You're' like' omniscient.

My dad had the
genius' believe me.

l just brought it
to the world.

HANK: Could you
wiggle your toes?

Okay. Does the pain
go down either or
both of your legs?

No. lt's just
a big' big ache
in my lower back.

Would you push
against my hands
with your feet?

Okay. No abnormalities
in the deep-tendon
reflexes or strength.

No bony tenderness
or deformities so far.

Let's log-roll him.
Oh. Like a log?

HANK: Here we go.
One' two' three.

Oh. Okay.

All right.
Any of this hurt?

No.

[SCREAMlNG]

Okay' here we go.
lt's just a muscle spasm.

You're a lucky man'
Mr. Fisher.

Okay. l'll trust
you on that.

[HYDRAULlCS HlSSlNG]

Whoa.

Look at these.

You tell me
these are not begging
to be pressed.

lt's okay.
Welcome to my
father's office.

lt's very...homey.

Open panic room door.

[HlSSlNG]

Wow.

Uh' all right.
Let's get him up.

We're just going
to pick you up.
Oh.

Any ulcer or diabetes
or allergies?

No.

Okay. 60 milligrams ketorolac.
And continue the Ativan.

That should help the
pain and the spasm.

Okay. ls there anything
l can do to prevent this
from happening again?

Yes. Avoid one-man
construction jobs.

And as Divya
recommended yesterday'
try to get some sleep.

And the muscle relaxants
will impair your
judgment and reflexes'

so no hard labor at all.

Especially not with tools.

Guys. You should
check this out.

Whoa.

l mean' either your dad was
trying to set up his own
concierge medicine business...

Or he was prepared
to spend a very long
time in this room.

Listen. Between you
and you and you and me

l'm not down here
to update this room.

l'm down here
to dismantle it.

As my dad got older'
he got more and
more eccentric.

He worked and
practically lived in between
these impenetrable walls.

lt's time for the panic
room to be retired.

lf you need any of
those medical supplies'
please take them.

You'd be doing me
a huge solid.

Yeah' it's just
that we don't...

We don't really
have a need for
these supplies.

lf only you knew
someone who was trying
to start up a free clinic.

[CHATTER ON PA]

Dr. Blair.

l understand
you filed a formal
complaint against me?

Yes' l did.

ln advance of tomorrow's
board meeting.

l can't just keep
waiting for you
to right this ship.

l've always
considered you
not just a colleague'

but the person
l'd turn to for guidance
in a situation

exactly like the one
you're putting me
in right now.

l'm sorry.

But my loyalty is
to Hamptons Heritage.

And when did you
start doubting mine?

l didn't fire Charlie.
He quit on me.

Professionally
or romantically?

You know' sometimes'
with you' Jill'

it's difficult to tell
just which one
we're discussing.

ln fact' l heard
that your relationship
with Hank Lawson

has been added
to the health
services curriculum

as a case study
in bad judgment.

First off' my judgment
has served this hospital
pretty damn well.

And secondly'
my relationship with
Hank Lawson is over.

So' the hospital board
is finally going to have
to find a new talking point.

Ms. Casey' Dr. Lawson
is waiting for you
in your office.

Hey.

Hey.

Everything okay
around here?

Not according to
our hospital's most
powerful surgeon.

She thinks l've pretty
much ruined the place.

[JlLL SlGHlNG]

Did you stop by my
house the other night?

l did.
But this isn't that.

This is just business.

Oh.

No' no' no. l don't
want you to think
l came to your workplace

to rehash our relationship
or lack thereof or
whatever the...

Hank?
Yeah.

Charlie's gone.

l've finalized the divorce.

Finally.

Wow.

lt sounds like
you've got
your hands full.

l do.

But you came here
on business.

So what's up?

Oh. You have time
to take a ride?

Ms. Newberg, it's Evan.

Let's talk
Newberg business.

Evan R. Lawson.

The CFO of HankMed.
Ms. Newberg...

Hello' Allison.
Hey' ciao' ciao.
How are you feeling?

lt's Evan R. Lawson'
CFO of HankMed calling.

We did the TB testing
for the staff at
your restaurant?

No' no' no.
The results are
still negative.

Well' that's
an interesting choice
in hold music.

Sounds a lot
like a dial tone.

And l thought
we might do some
consulting for you.

Like' maybe design
a HankMed approved healthy
page for your menu.

Yes' l can stick it.

Oh. There's that
catchy hold music again.

[EXCLAlMlNG lN FRUSTRATlON]

Hey' Spencer.
lt's Hank.

l just wanted
to let you know

that l'm headed over
there with Jill Casey

so she can take a look
at that equipment.

Hello? Hello?
What's that sound?

Uh' Spencer' you're not
operating power tools

under the influence
of sedatives' are you?

Hello?
Can you hear me?

Everything okay?
l doubt it.

l don't get why that
guy is so obsessed

with ripping out
part of his own
house by hand.

Maybe it's not the room'
but what it represents.

lf l could demolish
every trace of Charlie
in my house...

You'd be living
in the driveway?

Spencer?

Help.

[GASPlNG] Oh!

A nail g*n? Really?

Hank' l swear.
The spaz thing really
is just an act.

Okay.

That's it.
''Spencer the Spaz.''

l love your infomercials.

Thank you.

Jill' could you prep me
a syringe of lido?

Sure.
Thanks.

What's wrong with me?

These accidents
are connected

to my headaches
and pins and needles'
aren't they?

Well' we'll start monitoring
for cervical disc disease
or spinal stenosis'

but l think your anxiety
and your traumas
are two separate issues.

Anyway'
how come l'm not
screaming in pain?

Well' the medications
you're on' for one.

Also' the nerves
near the puncture
were compressed

by the swelling and
became anesthetic.

But just to be extra'
extra safe... Thank you.

...l'm going to give you
a shot of lidocaine.

Okay.

That stuff that
you're looking for
is back there'

if you want to
take a look.
Yeah.

Uh' do you have
a pair of pliers?

Yes.

Where might they be?

Over there' by my
dad's thermostats.

Thank you.

Whoa. lt... That's
how this works?

That's how this works.
Oh' man.

On the count of three'
l am going to pull
this nail out.

Okay. On three or
right after three?

ls it three' two... Ow!

Oh. You're good.

Thank you.

Are you sure
l can have all this
equipment for my clinic?

SPENCER: lt's all yours.

Oh' by the way'
there's a bunch of
meds back there

that you can look at.
They're on the shelf.

Yeah' l don't think
these are meds.

l think these are
old chemical vials.

lt's probably part
of your dad's lab.

Oh. That makes
sense' l guess.

Yeah' some of
these need to be
handled carefully.

l'm going to go
call my friend on
the Hazmat team.

But the rest'
l can store in the
hospital's dungeon'

along with 20 years'
worth of other
useless antiques.

Keep this out of
the line of fire'

and it should
heal just fine.

There you go.

Thank you.

Spencer' l know you
don't like this room.

But we've really got
to stop meeting like this.

My dad had two
sides to him.
All right?

One was the brilliant'
industrious side.

l called that
his bright side.

And the other side?

The reclusive'
paranoid side.

That's the side
no one else knew about.

Now' clearly'
the bright side wasn't
passed down to me.

You know?
l'm no genius' Hank.

l'm just a salesman
with good product'
and l know that.

So' you're afraid
you're destined to
inherit his other side.

What if l end up going
crazy like he did?

Can you assure me that
his mental illness
isn't genetic?

No. l can't.

And l get wanting
to distance yourself
from your dad's legacy.

Believe me' l do.

But' Spencer'

if you want to nip
insanity in the bud'

l'll be honest with you.

Trying to get rid
of this room
seems way crazier

than just staying
the hell away from it.

Do you want
to hear this?

No.

You don't even know
what it is.

Sorry. You're right.
What is it?

lt's the script
for HankMed's
first infomercial.

To air on local stations.

Really?
Yeah.

All right' you
want to hear it?
Definitely not.

''Hello' Fellow Denizens
of the Hamptons.

''Are you sick
of waiting rooms
and exam rooms?

''Are you tired of
rude receptionists
and negligent nurses?

''Well' the next time
you're ill or injured'

''stay right in your
own living room.

''Because we will
come to you.''

How is it hitting
you so far?

Like a wave of acute nausea.

Acute nausea.
l can actually use...

That's good.
l can use that
at the end.

Okay. So...
Evan' please. Stop.

This could be our ticket
out of the doldrums.

l'd rather be
in the doldrums

than be hawking
physical exams on QVC.

You don't have
to hawk anything.
l'm the talent.

Oh.
Our newest patient...

He could be my
performance coach.

As long as there's a Hank'
there will be no
HankMed infomercials.

All right.
All right.

Furthermore...
Furthermore...

Just because
you're back to normal

doesn't mean
that HankMed is.

And it doesn't mean
that we are. Okay?

So' how about
you stop worrying
about our media plan

and you start worrying
about getting us through
the week without any cash.

Hi.
Wow.

Hi.

The cold w*r
is still raging?

Yeah. He wouldn't
even hear my pitch.

''Fellow Denizens.''
Denizens...

Evan?

lt is time to ease off
the hard sell.

You need to regain
Hank's trust first
as his brother'

then as his CFO.

And you were right.

l didn't call off
the engagement.

l figured that giant ring
wasn't a consolation prize.

What happened?
Did you just chicken out?

l didn't chicken out.

What l realized at the
last possible moment

was that l had
to let a dream go

and face the reality
in order to embrace
what's most important.

Family.

Look' Evan' l know
that you want Hank
to forgive your father

and welcome him
back with open arms.

But if you keep
pushing your dream'

despite the reality'

you are going
to lose what matters
most to you.

Separate working quarters?

ls this what
it's come to?

Please don't
leave me with him.

l'll help you find
a great replacement'

and l'll train them
to whip Evan daily'
just like l do.

That would be great.

And trust me' l don't
want to move to
Raj's flat in London.

Yeah' but you have to.

Yes' l do.
Do you know why?

They're just not
embracing your
accent over here?

[LAUGHlNG]

Because sometimes'
you have to meet
family halfway.

Even if you don't get
where they're coming from.

You could argue
London is more
than a halfway point.

[CELL PHONE CHlMlNG]

Mmm. Spencer Fisher.

Hello' Mr. Fisher.

Mr. Fisher?

The signal dropped.

He probably stuck
his finger in an
electrical outlet.

Yeah' or got his head
caught in a vise.

Don't worry.
l'll take this one.

Great. As long
as you take
that one' too.

[MEN CHATTERlNG]

Going for the old
summer cut' huh?

lt has to go'
sooner or later.

l've reviewed your file.

Yeah' a real
page-turner' huh?

The story of a true
aristocratic dynasty

going back 500 years.

Yeah' the glamour and
majesty were intoxicating.

l'm ready to try and help.

[SPEAKlNG SPANlSH]

[CLEARlNG THROAT]

How will you help?

As you know now'

l've spoken to leading
researchers and
scientists from...

[LAUGHS]

Sao Paulo' Singapore'
Tel Aviv' Gstaad'
Beijing' Sydney.

Minnesota.

You name the place'
l've flown there.

With hope.

And come back
empty-handed.

You've spoken
to an awful lot
of experts' Boris.

But as far as l can tell'
none of them have
spoken to each other.

See' what you're
missing' l believe' is
a global perspective.

Someone to examine
the big picture

and' l hope'
tie it all together.

With your permission'
l'd like to start
making some calls.

Talking to these doctors
and researchers'

and asking some questions.

And l'd like to do so
as your primary
care physician.

Your...quarterback.

Quarterback.

Well' where will you start'
Quarterback?

At the beginning.

Dr. Marisa Casseras
of Havana Hospital.

Think about it.
Let me know.

Luigi.

Here.

EVAN: Just trust me.

You won't even
know l'm here.

Hmm. Unlikely.

l just want to pitch him
my infomercial
very discreetly.

And' uh...

That's weird. Huh.

l still can't believe it.

Selling a state-of-the-art
panini maker can buy you
a house like this?

No' that you're engaged.

Thanks for the reminder.

Look. l know that
parents can put their
own interests ahead

of what's best
for their kids.

But that's the beauty
of an engagement'
is that it's open-ended.

lt's not too late.
Until you set a date.

The wedding
is in 60 days.

Oh. Yeah'
you're screwed.

l'm kidding.
Kind of.

[SPENCER GROANlNG]

[GROANlNG]
Call Hank.
Then' call 91 1 .

Help me. God.
Help me.

[SCREAMlNG]

Hey!

The EMTs are
five minutes out.

One-oh-one over 49
and pulse of 1 13.

Okay. Multiple wide-bore
lines of saline.

Spencer' on a scale
from one to ten' tell me
what your pain level is.

We're going to need
a bigger scale.

Dude' the door
is crushing him.

We made the
observation' Evan.

Uh' so' why don't
we just try to open the...

No' no' no.
The pressure of the door

is what's
keeping him alive.

What?
lt's acting as a tourniquet.

lf we release it now'
he could bleed
out internally.

Okay' right. Okay.
Tourniquet. Yeah.

Okay' weak
and very fast.

Hank.

l know' pal.
You're not really a spaz.

[BREATHlNG SHALLOWLY]

EVAN: What...
What is... What...

He's going into
hemorrhagic shock.

Okay. So am l.
Uh' now l know why
they call it a panic room.

Where the hell
are those EMTs?

You're going to
be okay' buddy.
lt's going to be okay.

Some rhonchi
at the base of the right'
near impact site.

Can you reach for
the pedal pulses?

l can't get past his knees.
All right.

Try for the popliteals.
Okay.

[BREATHlNG SHALLOWLY]

Okay' bud. lt's okay.

Okay. Stronger on the
right than the left'

but both very weak.

Spencer' we'll
be right back.
One second.

Major laceration.

Helps explain
the hypotension
and tachycardia.

l figured it was only
internal bleeding.

Fluids will only go so far.

Eventually' he'll bleed
out his own supply'

and then he'll bleed
out the saline faster

than we can pump it in him.

And if we open the door'
he'll die even faster.

Mmm-hmm.

[SlGHlNG] lf only
we could take him to
the hospital like this.

Jesus. How can
we help' Doc?

HANK: All right.
We need more saline'

we need the
stretcher ready'

and then we need to haul
ass to Hamptons Heritage.

Soon as we
open that door'

it will be a
scoop-and-run
against the clock.

Okay.
Go. Go' go' go' go.

Hank. Even racing down
an empty Montauk Highway'

how will he ever make it
that far in time?

With a little luck'
all we'll need
is some help

from Jill's basement
full of useless antiques.

As l stated
previously'

l did not terminate
Dr. Casey.

This formal complaint'
Mrs. Casey'

is not just about
the loss of another
respected ER doctor.

What's it about' then?

We want to offer
you a chance

to keep this review
off your record.

By tendering
my resignation.

By avoiding an
ugly proceeding.

[CELL PHONE BUZZlNG]

Well' l appreciate
your concern for my
resume' Dr. Blair.

But l assure...

l'm sorry. l need
to excuse myself.

[LAUGHlNG HUMORLESSLY]

What could be
more important than
saving her job?

According to inventory'
we do have one.

But the last time
it was used l was
in junior high.

Okay.

lt's got to be in
here somewhere.

What does it
look like?

lt should say
MAST on the side.

M-A-S...

Got it.
Great.

Who is the fastest driver
at your hospital?

Let's see.
Okay.

We're saving him
using M.C. Hammer
memorabilia?

They're inflatable trousers.

They were developed by
the military in the '60s.

They'll help
stabilize his BP

while we transport
him to Heritage.

SPENCER: God!

Hank. 90 over 40.
One twenty-five.

Open up all lVs.
Crank up the fluids

and give him two milligram
boluses of morphine
every five minutes.

Push it slowly.

l just found a
shortcut to Route 27.

Should shave' like'
three minutes off
our problem.

No' no. lt's a
summer Saturday.

Route 27 is our problem.

l'll go see what else
we can do to buy some time.

Okay.

We're ready to open
the door and move
Spencer now.

SPENCER: God.
Okay. Yeah.

You' me' and the 91 1
beefcakes are going to heave
that door right off him.

No' no. Evan' the door
is six inches thick and
weighs 800 pounds.

The front line of
the New York Jets

couldn't open it
with bare hands.

Okay. So... Uh...

Fortunately' there is a
big green release button

inside the panic room.

No way.

l... l'm not physically
qualified for that' Hank.

Look at me.

lf that door snaps
shut on my frail
and slender body...

Don't worry.
As a precaution' l ordered
a second pair of trousers.

ln your favorite
color' salmon.

This is revenge
for the Dad thing'
isn't it?

Not even a little bit.

But if you're looking
for a way out of
the doghouse...

l might find it
through that door.

HANK: You can do it.
[SPENCER GROANlNG]

EMT 1 : Sorry' buddy.

All right.

All right' here we go.
Push me.

All right.
All right.

Oh' God. Oh' my God. Yes.
You got it? You got it?

[GRUNTlNG]
Oh' yeah.

You okay in there?
Yeah' l'm good.

l'm just counting
extremities. Okay.

Yeah. l'm all right. Okay.

lt's working.

HANK: Okay.
Guys' on three.

Evan' on three.

On three or' like'
right after three?

Whatever.
Okay.

One...two...three!

Get in there.

Turn him over. Okay.

Let's get his shoulders.

Let's get him
over there.

Okay.

Okay. BP's in freefall.

Okay. Trauma shears.

HemCon bandage.

Okay. The chitosan
in the gauze will adhere
to the red blood cells

and form a tight clot
very quickly.

How quickly?

That quick
enough for you?

Gauze. Tape.

All right. Now' we wrap
and velcro the trousers.

Here we go.

Abdominal belt.
Good. Okay' inflate.

Careful not to
puncture the suit
with anything sharp.

We don't have a backup.

Okay.
Pressure stopped dropping.
Seventy over palp.

Okay. lt's working.

Slow down the fluids.
150 cc's per hour'

and four more
of morphine.

How long will this thing
keep him stable for?

Let's not find out.
All right.

HANK: Hi' there. Could
you grab this corner?
EMT 3: Got it.

HANK: All right' guys.
Let's get him in there.

This is all the help
you could scare up?

Where's everyone else?

Sealing off Montauk
Highway for us.

EMT 2: Ready to go' Doc!
Nice.

[SlRENS WAlLlNG]

EMT: Coming through!

ELlZABETH:
Whoa' whoa' whoa.

What the hell is this?

lt's an emergency' Dr. Blair.

Can you untangle
these' please?

Ah. And you would
be Dr. Lawson.

l am. And you are...

Amongst my other duties'
l am now acting Chief
of Emergency Services.

So' l'll take it from here.

Perfect. Just pull
the plugs to deflate.

Oh' and make sure you
don't miss any bleeding
vessels during embolization.

Otherwise' you'll be
pulling the plug on more
than just the suit.

He's all yours.

Maybe you'd better
come with us.

Maybe l'd better.
ELlZABETH: Great.

Let's go' guys.
Move it.

All right. Careful'
careful' careful.

Nice job back there.

Yeah? [LAUGHS]
You' too.

You want to talk
about him?

About Spencer?

Eddie R.

Uh... lt's just...
lt's complicated
family stuff.

Yeah? Well' what would
l know about that?

[lNHALES DEEPLY]
All right.

[EXHALlNG]

l started talking
to my dad again
about a year ago.

He called me on
my 30th birthday.

And l hadn't talked
to him in 20 years'
mind you.

You know what
the first thing
he said to me was?

What?

''How's Hank?''

l'm sorry to hear that.

Yeah.

That's just how
he's started every
conversation since.

''How's Hank?''

[SlGHlNG]

Hmm.

l guess l really
needed to tell
someone that.

lt says a lot
about your father.

Yeah' it says a lot
about my brother.

But it says the most
about you.

Yeah?

What does it say' exactly?

That you're caught
between your rock
and your hard place.

[SlGHlNG]

And rather than just
trying to squirm out

you've been trying
to make everything fit
together comfortably again.

l guess l really
needed someone
to tell me that.

Well' don't let it
go to your head.

l'm... What?
[LAUGHlNG]

How fast can you
get me back to change?

l have an important meeting
with a young heiress.

lt's nice to have
you back.

Well' yeah.

Am l going to be okay?

Yeah.

And not just in
the short-term.

l was thinking about it.

One of the chemicals
Jill found in your
dad's lab was mercury.

That's why he had
all those old thermostats
lying around.

He probably used
the mercury to
manipulate the gold

for some of
his experiments.

He was building a
next-generation robot'

operated by the lnternet.

Which sounds
incredibly cool.

Unfortunately' when
inhaled in large doses
over long periods of time'

mercury can
cause psychosis.

And kidney failure.

So' it wasn't
the mental illness

that sent my dad
into that room.

No. lt was the
other way around.

That's why he grew
increasingly paranoid
and distant.

And in smaller doses'
exposure can lead
to headaches'

fatigue'
tingling sensations'
sleeplessness'

and incoordination.

Or in layman's terms'
''spasticity.''

Yes. Spasticity.

So' l really am
going to be okay?

Yeah.

As long as you
hire a contractor for
all future renovation.

Yes' Doctor.

So' l can contact
Dr. Casseras?

You can give it
your best shot.

Okay.

lf you reach her'

tell her when
l look at the roses'

l think of Cristobal Square.

She'll know
what it means.

Hank.

All right.

[UPBEAT SONG PLAYlNG]

[SlGHlNG] l really
hope she's good to you.

l'm sure
she will be.

l was talking
to the car.

[LAUGHS]

Bye.

What's with the Johnny
Cash fashion tribute?

l'm in mourning.
Henrietta.

l just sold the
only valuable thing
l've ever owned.

Oh. Well' look on
the bright side.

Since you got it for free'
you cashed out at 100% profit.

One could argue
that l timed the market
perfectly' then.

One could' indeed.

One could also argue
you've begun to
repent for your sin.

[SCOFFS] Ha.

l don't know.
l think sin is a
slight exaggeration.

Really?

l think it's an
understatement.

Shall we agree to disagree?

Like we always do.

So' is ''Spencer the Spaz''
going to be all right'
or what?

Yeah. Turns out not
so spastic after all.

Yeah' the problem
was mercury poisoning.

l thought it was that
giant door slicing into
him like a pinata.

No' l meant...
Never mind.

Go deep.

All right.
Deeper.

Like old times.
All right.

Deeper.

[SlGHlNG]

Hey' kiddo.

Look at you.

What?

All right' so it took
a little longer
than l thought.

lt's still the same
shade of green.
