06x05 - Goodwill Stunting

[bunniefuu]

HANK:
Previously on Royal Pains...

How much longer
will the ER be closed?

A week? A month?
All summer?

A company called Symphony is
negotiating to buy the hospital,

but the regulatory approval
is taking forever.

I'm taking a sabbatical
from Sutton and Chesterfield.

What? Why?

To do some private work

for a major client.

Jeremiah, how would
you feel about continuing

to be HankMed's
Medical Director?

Why do anything for me?

Because we're your family.

Everything worked out great.

[SIGHS] You must be so relieved.

I paid her.
What?

EVAN: So, is she staying
because of us

or is she staying
because of the money?

Hey.

Oh, hey.

HANK: You're up early.

Yeah, I thought I would
make us breakfast.

You know, sausage and bacon

and biscuits and gravy.
The perfect pre-cardio meal.

You know what? I will just
keep this warm for you.

Oh, no, no, no.
You know what?

I'll have a bite
while it's still hot.

Oh.
Smells amazing.

[CHUCKLES]

Mmm.

Oh, my God.

It is amazing.

Did your mom teach you how to cook?
Oh, my mom? No.

Oh, my gosh.
She was too busy working.

I learned from the cooks

at the restaurant
where I worked.

I learned everything from them.
Ah.

Don't feel bad. They
were excellent teachers.

And, you know, the
four of them really

took me under their wing.

They became my surrogate family.

Yeah, but still, you took
on a lot of responsibility.

And I know that wasn't easy.

See, I was the fill-in
for Eddie and for my mom.

And it was tough.
A lot of work.

It's probably why Evan
became such a good cook.

If he wanted a great meal, he knew
he wasn't getting it from me.

[LAUGHS]

Yeah. I mean, I never
minded the work.

In fact, I think the reason why I worked
at the diner so much was because...

Well, it was better
than being alone.

But, I mean, I'm sure
someone like you

never had that kind of problem.
[CHUCKLES]

Well, when Eddie left,
Evan and I had each other.

And even then, I felt
alone a lot of the time.

It's so weird.

I mean, Eddie was a con man
who walked out on you two,

and my mom was a con woman
who stuck around.

And yet, we both
felt the same way.

And we both turned out okay.

Maybe there is something
to that whole DNA thing.

Maybe.
[EMMA CHUCKLES]

You know, I wanted to be a
doctor when I was little, too.

Really?

Well, actually, I wanted
to be a paramedic.

You know, so I could run through all the
red lights and have a really cool siren.

Emma... I feel terrible that all of
us weren't in your life earlier.

And we are so happy
you're staying.

I am so happy you're here.

Me, too.

Hey, do you like to run?

Uh, run as in jog?
As in exercise?

Yeah. That kind
of running.

Isn't this great?

Yeah.
This is so great.

Ricky? Hey.

RICKY: Hey.
Are you okay?

Yeah. Hey, Hank.
I'm fine. I'm fine.

That was nothing.

Yeah, but you know, with your...

Oh. Yeah. Don't worry. I'm taking
my blood thinners every day.

[EMMA CLEARS THROAT]
Oh.

Uh, sorry. Ricky, this is
my little sister, Emma.

Emma, this is Ricky White.

He medaled in Sochi.

Yeah, well, you know, a lot
of people medaled in Sochi.

Landing a fourteen-forty
with two somersaults means

you don't have to
be modest, my friend.

You're right. He's right.
I'm fantastic.

But you did take
a pretty bad spill there.

If you want me to take a look,

we can do your annual
physical at the same time.

Yeah, uh.

Well, to be honest, I'm
not with HankMed anymore.

Oh.

Yeah, I signed up with Symphony.

They started offering
a concierge service

when they took over
Hamptons Heritage.

Awkward.

RICKY: They made me an offer
I couldn't refuse.

No hard feelings?

No. No, of course not.

I'm just glad you're
taking care of yourself.

Yeah.

Well, listen,
I'm having a barbecue

with some friends later.
You guys should come.

Ah. I'd love to,
but I have patients.

I don't.

Great.

Uh, well, here.

Give me your number and I'll,
uh, text you the address.

Okay. [CHUCKLES]

Yeah. So, this is...

The moldings are so beautiful.

RAY: I got them wholesale. But
still, they were crazy expensive.

PAIGE: Have you given much thought
about how you'd like to decorate?

I like those things Russel got
for that hedge fund guy's house.

The one in the
Hamptons magazine?

Think you can find me some stuff like that?
PAIGE: Of course.

But his house is modern
and yours is more classic.

What kind of style do you like?

What do I know from style?

My wife.

Technically, we're separated.

But not for long, since I'm
going to win her back.

[PAIGE CHUCKLES]
She thinks I'm too Jersey.

Uncle Ray, you want a water?

No, I'm good, Marco.

Well, we'd love to
find you some nice pieces.

Where would you like to start?

From the beginning. I need rugs.
Tables. Pictures. The works.

And I want the best. I want
it to feel like the Hamptons.

Well, don't worry. Russel Berger
is the best in the business.

[SIGHS]

Are you okay?

Yeah, I've been itching
like crazy lately.

I've tried Benadryl,
cortisone cream, olive oil.

Nothing's helped. Well, I know
someone who might be able to.

[HANK SIGHS]

Good morning. Hey, how's
the new nanny working out?

Shh. I don't want
to jinx it.

Can we start? We've
got a busy day ahead.

Henry, you'll be sitting
over here today. Why?

Ha!

How did you even lift that?

I hurt myself doing it.
Let's go.

Okay.
So.

So, I ran into Ricky White
this morning on the beach.

He said he signed up
with Symphony.

Yeah. We've lost a couple
of retainers to them recently.

They've started going after our
patients pretty aggressively.

How come I didn't know?

Because you said you didn't
want to know about business.

You just wanted to be a doctor.

Why, did you change your mind?
No. You're right.

I could follow up
with Gladys about that.

Gladys? Don't tell him.
He doesn't want to know.

Gladys is the director of
Symphony's community relations.

Ah. She loves hazelnut coffee.

The fact is, guys, we're in a
more competitive environment now.

So, we need to
think outside the box.

Nancy Conrad will
help us with that.

Who's Nancy Conrad?

I'm so glad you asked.
And I'm going to tell you

as soon as you sign these release forms.
Pass them down.

Hi, everyone.
Bye, everyone.

Whoa, whoa.
Where are you going?

Uh, meeting some friends
from work. Is that okay?

Oh, yeah. Sure.

So, I see your trainer's got you up and
running at the cr*ck of dawn, huh?

Yeah, running is
such good exercise.

I only said yes because I
thought he was kidding.

El Jefe doesn't kid
about running.

Do they not know I'm here?

A little heads-up
next time?

You got it.
Great. Squid?

Want to squid it out?
[BOTH VOCALIZING]

Okay, bye.

Why didn't you ask who these
friends were that she's meeting?

Why didn't you ask? I can't.
I'm the fun brother.

You're not the fun brother.
I'm the fun brother.

[CHUCKLES] Is that a joke?
And I didn't have to ask.

She's doing great.
She's working hard,

she gets up early
to run with me.

Yeah, how did you get her
to do that, by the way?

Did you, like, pay her?

Why would I do that?

I don't know. No reason.

Did you pay her
to do something, Evan?

Did I pay her to do something?
HANK: Yeah.

That's a pretty
weird question, Henry.

Why don't we
talk about it over there?

[SOFTLY]
Right now, please.

Did you?

I... I gave her some money, yeah.
To cover expenses.

Oh. When?

Before she saw Dad.

You bribed her.
EVAN: No!

I... I'm her brother. I gave
her money that she needed.

And then she saw Dad.

Evan, did she agree to stay
because you gave her money?

What? I don't...
Maybe.

Let's just say she did.
Okay? [SIGHS] Okay.

She got to know Dad.
She's living with you.

We're getting to know her. She's working.
It's great. What's the big deal?

The big deal is you got
things off on the wrong foot

with a girl who already has
a problem with the truth.

She doesn't know us. She
doesn't know who we are.

You need to talk to her.

Sorry to interrupt,
but can we please start?

Yeah, that's a good idea.
Yes, okay.

We've got some big
things happening today.

So, if you'll direct
your eyes to the giant screen.

This is Nancy Conrad

before she got sick.
She was a dance instructor

who used to have a popular
blog about dancing.

She put together a lot
of these dance videos.

Worked with a lot of kids.
HANK: Oh, that's sweet.

[LAPTOP BEEPS] This is the
home page of her blog.

And this is one of
the 10 Facebook sites

dedicated to her
since she got sick.

She has never asked for help
with her medical expenses.

People have just opened up
their hearts to her.

Oh, how did you hear about her?

Someone posted a link
on our page.

She lives upstate.

She's been sick for
a couple of years now

with a mystery disease
that is paralyzing her.

She's been to other doctors?

Dozens. That's the thing.

No one has been able to figure
out what's wrong with her.

Everyone has pretty much
just given up on her.

Except for us.
[LAPTOP BEEPS]

HANK: Oh, boy.

It sounds like
a P.R. Stunt.

It is a P.R. Stunt.

A stunt in which
we're helping someone

no one else has
been able to help,

and HankMed gets some great
publicity. It's a win-win.

I thought you weren't going to
judge how we run the business.

Okay, you're right.
You're right.

What's with the video camera?

I promised all the Facebook
groups I'd post daily updates.

What about patient
confidentiality?

Yeah, what about that?

Nancy's onboard. The more people
see it, the better for her cause.

"Her cause."
EVAN: Her words.

Forms, please.

Thank you. Oh, and
thank you very much.

Divya, noticing
you didn't sign it.

I don't have to because
I'm not going to be on camera.

Oh, yeah? Why is that?
DIVYA: Because I'm leaving.

Paige found us a new patient.
Ray Mazzarino.

Ray Mazzarino, the mob guy?

The guy who's building
a house on Tyson Lane?

You think he's in the mob because
he has an Italian last name?

No, I think he's in the mob
because he's from New Jersey

and he's in the waste
management business

and he has an Italian last name.

He's a dangerous guy.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Uh, hi, Gladys.

I don't know if you've
had your morning coffee.

You're not Gladys.

No. No, I'm not.

Oh, but this is her office.

Gladys transferred to Houston.

I'm the new Gladys,
Bill Cartwright.

Uh, Dr. Jeremiah Sacani.

From HankMed.

I'm glad you're here. You're
going to save me a trip.

So, Gladys isn't coming back?

No, but, uh,
I like hazelnut coffee.

Mmm.

Oh, that's good stuff.

What is this?

Uh, that's our new pricing schedule for
all the services that HankMed uses here.

The lab tests, the imaging...

But this is nearly four times
as much as we've been paying.

I know.

And I know that you had
a gentleman's agreement

with the previous administrator
about some special pricing.

But HankMed is no longer
a part of Symphony.

You're our competitors now.

Well, we have patients
who can't afford this.

Well, if you don't
like our new rates,

then you're of course free
to use other facilities.

You have the only imaging and
lab facilities in the area.

Yeah.

EVAN: Some people say, "Hey,
your place is like a castle."

But it is a real castle.
[NANCY CHUCKLES]

You should be able to fit
through here. I think.

NANCY: I've got it. I've got it.
EVAN: Keep it coming.

Well, hello, there.

EVAN: Nancy Conrad,
Hank Lawson.

Dr. Lawson, thank you
so much for seeing me.

Please, call me Hank. And
I'm so happy you're here.

So am I.

Evan here has been a godsend.

He's given me hope when I
didn't have any. All right.

Well, I've reviewed your charts.

But if you don't mind, I'd really
like to hear the story from you.

And if it's okay, while you're
telling me, I'm going to do an exam.

Oh, wait, wait.
[CAMERA BEEPS]

And, go.

Really?
EVAN: Yes.

It's for her cause.

Right. Okay.

Got it. Um.

We're going to start with
motor function. Okay.

If you could, uh, pull
your leg into my hand.

And again.

[SHOE THUDS]

NANCY: It started
about three years ago.

I was warming up
before a pip hop class.

I'm sorry, did you say
"pip hop"?

Uh, hip hop
for pip-squeaks.

Four-to five-year-olds.
So adorable.

[CHUCKLES] But anyway,
out of the blue,

I had this pain
in my lower back.

Was it localized in one area?

Yeah, it was.
It was right here.

All right, Ev. What are you...
EVAN: Sorry.

It's a cool sh*t.
I'm good.

Okay, Scorsese.

Um, did anything unusual happen

that day or that week?
No.

But I was in the hospital

about a year earlier
after a car accident.

But I bounced back from that.

Until this.

At first, my legs felt
heavier than normal.

And then,
they started to tingle.

And then, it was difficult
to even move my legs.

Until finally, my left leg was
almost completely paralyzed.

Right. Right.

EVAN: What do you think?

I... I'm not expecting
miracles.

If anyone can help you,
it's Hank.

He's amazing. He can do anything.
What are you going to do?

Um... Well, I'd like to
start with another M.R.I.

Okay.

And, cut.
[CAMERA BEEPS]

It's itching like crazy. I can't
focus on anything. DIVYA: Mmm.

You know, one of the most
common allergies is nickel.

What a lot of people
don't know is that

nickel is found in all
gold up to 18 carats.

Is that 14-karat gold?

Well, if it is, my jeweler
will be your next patient.

I'm kidding.

[CHUCKLES] Of course.

Mmm. I'm just going to
do a little scraping.

Your skin is definitely dry,

and there are some areas
of redness, as well.

Which makes me think
it could be eczema.

Though in a case like this, we should
definitely rule out scabies, as well.

I don't know what that is,
but it sounds disgusting.

Scabies are small mites
that burrow into the skin

and cause uncontrollable
itching.

I was right.

[EXHALES] No. Nothing there.

So, now, what?

I'm going to give you
a sh*t of Kenalog

and write a prescription
for anti-itching cream.

If you're not doing
any better tomorrow,

or you start to feel worse,

you can call me, and we'll
try something else.

It's just a little pinch.

[SCREAMING]

[OPERA MUSIC PLAYING]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

[MUSIC STOPS]

Russel. What a surprise!

Oh. Um, it's a little early
to celebrate, but, why not?

It is not every day
you land a gigantic client.

Oh, I'm just working on the
proposal for Ray's house.

He loved what you did
with the Sagaponack house.

So, I thought maybe we could do something,
you know, similar but different.

Is everything okay?

Sutton and Chesterfield
fired me.

What?

How could they do that to you?

Don't waste all your pity on me.
They fired you, too.

[M.R.I. MACHINE WHIRRING]

[METALLIC POUNDING]

Now that everything's very serious.
It looks very natural.

Okay. Ev, is this
really necessary?

The cause, Henry.
Oh. The cause. The cause.

And action on camera move.

So sorry.

I'm sorry. EVAN: That
didn't work very well.

When I say "action", look at the
screen like something cool happened.

I already am.

Something... Okay. Just, like,
something important happened.

"Oh, I found something."
Oh, like that.

Okay, and action.

That's great.
That's perfect.

Oh, what is it?
What's wrong?

Nothing.
Her M.R.I.'s clean.

Okay.

So, what's next?

More tests.

If we can't figure it out,

she's going to be in that wheelchair
for the rest of her life.

We're her last chance.

I know.

It just makes no sense.

You practically built their
Hamptons office. [SCOFFS]

I mean, you were their star.

I'd argue with you,
but you're right.

Well, then, why?
Jealousy.

I went off with Boris.

Everyone was jealous. Russel.
You have to fight this.

I know things
about the Chesterfields.

Those awful people.

[SOFTLY] What kind
of things? Tell me.

No.

What you should do
right now is go over there.

Cut the cord with me.

I'll tell them you did
all the work,

I just took the credit.

You can probably get
your job back.

There is no way I am doing that.

I can't imagine
being there without you.

Sweet, sweet Paige.

I mean, the whole reason
I took this job was to

work with and learn from
Russel Berger.

[IN ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION]
Berger.

Hmm?

I'm unemployed now.

They would have been
lucky to have you.

But you'll have to start
at the bottom again, probably.

Poor thing.

You must have thought, [EXHALES]
you had everything figured out.

And now, poof.
It's gone.

HANK: Thanks.

Hey, Ray.
It's nice to meet you.

You told me to call if it got worse.
It definitely got worse.

Okay. Tell me.
What's going on?

I'm tired. Achy.
I got chills.

Tell them about
your stomach, Uncle Ray.

Every time he touches it, it hurts.
Uh-huh.

Let me take a look.

Tell me if any of this
is tender, okay?

[GROANING]

Huh.

Have you ever had liver
problems, Mr. Mazzarini?

"O."

Mazzarino.

Mazzarino. [CHUCKLES]
Of course. Of course.

Nah. Booze has never
been my vice.

Liver conditions
can cause itching.

So, I'd like to do an ultrasound
to check for gallstones.

And let's draw blood for L.F.T. S,
CBCs, chem panel and hepatitis.

And let's also get
a urine sample.

Look, I don't know how
things work in the Hamptons,

but I want you to put a
rush on these test results.

Oh, don't worry.
We rush everyone.

Doc, I'm begging you. Please.

If you can stop this itching, I'll comp
you at my new restaurant for life.

Hell, I'll put your
kids through college.

Either of you two have kids? No!

No, I don't.

[SIGHS]

Don't worry.
We'll rush it.

Hold on a second.

Effective immediately?

What the hell is this?
This is crazy.

We'll never be able to pay these rates.
I miss Gladys.

Well...

I'll figure something out.

This probably wouldn't have happened
if Hank were still Medical Director.

No. You're wrong.

This would have happened
under anyone.

This is just business.

That's my territory.

So, Nancy, all the
tests were negative.

But your symptoms point to
idiopathic transverse myelitis.

Well, that sounds awful.

It's a neurological disorder caused
by inflammation of the spinal cord.

See? I told you
he'd figure it out.

What caused it?
Hold on.

Uh, well, "idiopathic"
is a fancy term

the medical community came
up with to basically say,

"We're not sure why
this is happening."

Wait, what?

But you can do
something though, right?

I'm going to prescribe some pain medication
and put you on a course of steroids

that may reduce
the inflammation.

"May"?

Nancy, there's no
definitive cure.

But will the
paralysis get worse?

It might stay just like it is.

But, yes, there is a chance your
condition could deteriorate.

Well, it's not the news
I was looking for.

But it's an answer.

Thank you, Hank.
Of course.

And, Evan, I will be forever
in your debt.

I feel so bad for her.
Yeah, I know.

But she doesn't
feel bad for her.

She's, like, happy.

That's amazing to me.

Would I react like that
if it were me?

The last time you had the flu, you begged me
to k*ll you and put you out of your misery.

I was kidding.
You specifically said

you weren't kidding and
that I should ignore you

if you said you were kidding.
And k*ll you.

Thanks a lot.
Yeah.

I get it.
I'm a wuss.

I didn't say it.

How do you do it?

How do I do what?

Not get emotionally crushed every time
one of your patients has a setback.

Who says I don't?

You know why I became a doctor.

Mom.

The hardest thing I ever had
to do was watch Mom suffer.

I didn't ever want to
feel that helpless again.

But you see people all the time.

Some of them you can't help.
What happens then?

It hurts.

I hurt.

Whoa! I could
never do that.

I'd be a basket case.

I have a good support system.

So does Nancy.

I'm going to personally
donate to her medical fund.

She's going to need all the help
she can get moving forward.

I am proud of my little brother.

I'm a big brother now.
That's right.

Yeah. Speaking of,
where's Emma?

At a barbecue at Ricky White's.

Sorry, what did you just say?

Ricky White? The snowboarder,
Ricky White?

That's the one. And you
think I'm irresponsible?

What the hell are you think...
She can't go to that.

Ricky's a really good guy. No,
you're missing the point.

I understand the point. And you should
understand that she's not a child.

She's a month away
from turning 18!

She managed to get halfway across
the country without our help.

We promised Dad we'd be
responsible for her.

Even if we hadn't done that,
we're her older brothers, Henry.

People at that barbecue,
we don't know who they are.

How old they are. What they're
like when they've been drinking.

Remember the trouble
I got into at that age?

That was when
you were watching me.

Oh, God.

Oh, hey, I'm sorry.
What's the score?

I'm going to take a picture of Ricky.
[CAMERA CLICKING]

[CHUCKLES]

You're probably not going
to get much for that photo.

Not unless there's a bong in it.

Oh. I was just going to put it on
Instagram for my friends back home.

Oh, I thought you were going to
try and sell it to Snarkhampton.

What is Snarkhampton?

It's a Hamptons gossip site.

If you've got dirt on a celeb,
they'll pay you to wallow in it.

Huh.

Ah! [GROANS]

Hank?

What are you doing here?

I thought you weren't coming.

No, uh, change of plans.

Sorry.

Ricky.

Hey, you made it. I need
to check out your leg.

Hank, it's not
that kind of party.

[CHUCKLES]
Oh, you're serious.

Please, have a seat.

Okay. Ah.

Okay.

[GROANS]
HANK: Yeah.

What's the pain like
on a one to 10 scale?

Nothing I can't handle.

Ricky?

Maybe an eight.

Why does my leg look so gnarly?

HANK: I think you tore your calf muscle
this morning when you wiped out.

And because of the blood thinner

you're taking for
your arteritis,

you're bleeding into the
muscle, creating pressure.

I need to reduce
that pressure right now

or you could develop
compartment syndrome,

and... Well, you could
lose your leg.

Hey, can you shut that door?

Emma, I'm glad you're here.
I'm going to need your help.

Okay. Do whatever
you've got to do.

My legs are my life.

Emma, I need you to grab the biohazard
container from inside my bag.

It's a red box.
Yeah, I got it.

Okay, good.

Okay. Also, I'm going
to need another...

Thank you.

And I'm going to need
some gauze and an ace wrap.

Nice.

Good.

How's the pain now?

It's better.
HANK: Good.

Thank you.

We're going to get you to the hospital
to evacuate the rest of the hematoma.

Wow, was that just luck? How did you
know something was wrong with my leg?

I saw you grabbing
your calf before.

Before when? I thought
you just got here.

Or did you?

Good morning.
What happened to you?

"Pappy Van Winkle." Nice.

Oh. Keep it.

I never want to see it again.

Here. Have a banana.

Plenty of water. Take two aspirin
and call me in the morning.

PAIGE: I think I'm going
to go lay down. Okay.

Yeah. Listen to Hank.

He knows it all.
PAIGE: Totally.

He even saved me from a
super dangerous barbecue.

If he hadn't shown up, I might
have had a second burger.

Emma, you know that... What
were you really doing there?

That's a good question.
What were you doing there?

I was checking up on you.

I don't need to
be checked up on.

Anyways, if you want to worry
about somebody, worry about her.

We are worried about her.
She's a patient.

Right. A patient who's lying.

Wow, that's harsh.
You don't even know her.

She's really nice.
Her name's Nancy.

She has idiosyncratic
parcoline...

What is it?

It's idiopathic transverse myelitis.
Elitis.

Okay. Is that hard
to fake?

It's impossible to fake, right?

Uh. Actually, no. I wouldn't
say it's impossible.

I mean, it's a diagnosis
of exclusion.

So, she wouldn't have to
fake any actual test.

But why do you think
she's lying?

Look at her.

She keeps touching her nose
and covering her mouth.

She keeps swallowing.

My mom might not have
taught me how to ride a bike,

but she did teach me
how to read people's tells.

Are you saying if you
swallow, you're a liar?

What, you think she's lying?

There is a test that would
prove it one way or the other.

Of course. Oh.
Thank you so much.

Yeah. Let me know
if you need anything else.

So, I was looking up
those steroids

you were going to give me.
Mmm-hmm.

They, uh, seem very expensive.

Oh, well, lucky for you, you've got all
those people online raising money for you.

Yeah. I'm very lucky.

You are.

There is one more test
I'd like to perform.

It's called a Hoover test.

I'd like to remove this blanket.

And I'll take down the footrest.

Okay.

Now, Nancy, I'd like you to lift
your right leg as best as you can.

Mmm.
And what does this test do?

Well, when you raise one leg,

you naturally put pressure on the calcaneus
of your opposite leg to gain leverage,

which creates downward pressure.

But only if you can
move your leg.

Nancy, your left leg
is not paralyzed at all.

What are you talking about?

What are you saying?

I think you know
what I'm saying.

Oh, my God.

You are just like
the other doctors.

You can't figure it out,
so you're blaming me!

You know, I thought
you were different, Hank.

Wait, Nancy. No. Please, I
would like to leave now.

I would like to leave right now.

[GASPS]

Oh, my God.

I'm so sorry.

HANK: Nancy?

Why did you... Why did you
pretend to be paralyzed?

I... I didn't set out
to do it. I...

It just happened.

"It just happened"?

I... I was in
a car accident.

And then I got all these
emails and posts on my blog.

And people seemed
to care about me.

Nancy, you do need help.

But not the kind I can offer.

I'm going to refer you
to a psychologist.

Okay.

HANK: Okay.

Ray said 3:00, right?
Mmm-hmm. On the button.

You wait here. I'm going
to check around back.

[ALARM RINGING]

[RAY GROANING]
Ray!

Ray!
RAY: Hank.

Where did all this
blood come from?

I yacked it up.
HANK: Ugh.

Help me, please.
I feel terrible.

Hematemesis.
What?

Esophageal varices.

Uncle Ray? Whoa.

Whoa. Whoa. What did
you do to my uncle?

Get away from him.

Marco, listen to me.

You know who I am.
You know I'm a doctor.

I'm not going to ask you again.

Either I save
his life right now,

or in an hour, you get to
tell your family how he d*ed.

Thank you. Call 911.

And for the love of God, someone
please turn off that alarm.

I've got the alarm.

We need to stop his internal
bleeding right now.

Marco, I need you to
hold this I.V. Bag.

MARCO: Yeah, okay.
Thank you.

B.P.'s 80 over 50.

Okay, I.V.'s wide open.

Pushing Octreotide
to divert blood flow.

It's not working.
He's getting worse.

Okay, um. Divya, I need two NG tubes,
two surgical gloves, and clamps.

You. I need
those pillows. Now.

Here.

Okay, Ray, I just need
to prop you up.

[RAY GROANS]
That's it.

First NG tube. Good.

Okay.

Second tube.

Okay, good.

Okay.

Okay, Ray, I need you
to open your mouth.

And now swallow.
[RAY GAGGING]

That's it.
Keep swallowing.

Okay.

Clamp. Thank you.

[EXHALING INTO TUBE]

Okay, good. Second tube.

Ray, I'm going to need you to
swallow again. [RAY GAGGING]

That's it. That's it.

Okay, second clamp.

Thank you.

Okay.

B.P.'s stabilized.

Good.

Ray. We're going to
get you to the hospital now.

You're going to
be all right, Uncle Ray.

[SIRENS WAILING]

Thank you.

JEREMIAH: Evan?
EVAN: Mmm-hmm.

Did you get my email?

What's that? No, I haven't
checked my email.

This is how I look when, uh,
things blow up in my face.

Nancy?

It's not going to be
the HankMed game-changer

I thought it would be,
that's for sure.

Turned out to be
a lose-lose.

What was that email about?

Oh. Um, well, I know that you
said that the price increase

would be a business problem.

But I put some thought into it,
and I may have a solution.

Yeah? I visited the
lab in Riverhead.

The quality is comparable
to Hamptons Heritage.

We can use a courier service and
send all our tests over there.

Obviously, it would add
to the cost,

but I... I think it would be
an acceptable amount.

That might work for the labs,

but we'll never get our patients

to drive an hour and a half
round-trip to get an M.R.I.

Think about it.

Our business model
doesn't work anymore.

How bad is it?

EVAN: I ran the numbers


If we have to absorb
these price increases,

this could be the last
summer of HankMed.

Okay. So, Ray,

the bile duct test
confirmed that you have

primary sclerosing
cholangitis, or P.S.C.

It's a disease that causes inflammation
and obstruction of your bile ducts,

in and outside your liver.

How did I get it?

We actually don't know
what causes it.

It just happens to some people.

More bad luck than anything.

So, what now?

We've got you on a three-week course
of broad-spectrum antibiotics.

And with careful monitoring,

you'll be able to resume your...

Your normal lifestyle.

Well, sounds like I'm going
to be a long-term customer.

Marco.
Uh...

What's this?

A down payment on
a HankMed retainer.

Oh.

You take cash, right?

Uh... Yeah.
I think we do.

Is that a picture
of Ricky at the party?

Yeah.

How did, uh,
Snarkhampton get it?

I guess someone sold it to them.

[SCOFFS]

Whatever happened to respecting
someone's privacy, you know?

Yeah. [CHUCKLES]

I mean, I'm just glad
that Ricky's okay.

Yeah. Me, too.
EMMA: He was lucky

that you were, uh,
in the neighborhood.

Okay. Okay.

So, maybe I didn't give you
the benefit of the doubt.

"Maybe"?

Probably.
"Probably"?

Okay, definitely.

I definitely did not give you
the benefit of the doubt.

I apologize. I shouldn't
have followed you.

The truth is, you've handled
yourself incredibly well.

You were pretty cool under
pressure at the barbecue.

I'm proud of you.

Thanks.

It's kind of nice having
someone else in the family

who doesn't faint
at the sight of blood.

Yeah. Well, uh, what do you expect
from a guy who drinks appletinis?

Oh! Squiddie.

Yeah. It's "squid out",
and we'll find our own thing.

Okay. Yeah, okay.

Hey.
Hey.

Hey.
Hey.

You didn't talk to her about that thing,
right? That thing we talked about?

Because I told you I was going
to handle it myself.

Uh, no. But now
might be the perfect time.

For what?

For Evan to talk to you

about something that he actually
has to talk to you about.

[CHUCKLES]

It's not... It's not,
like, a thing.

I just. I...

I might have given you
the wrong impression

when I gave you the, you know, back
in the... When I gave you the...

When you gave me what?

When he gave you money.
The money.

You said that was because
things were expensive here.

That's exactly... That's, that's...
Well, they are.

I thought that was a gift,

but if you want the money
back, I can totally...

No. No, it was a gift.
Absolutely not.

That's not why we brought it up.

Oh, my God.

You think I stayed
because of the money.

Because if you do,
you're totally wrong.

I stayed because I wanted
to get to know Eddie.

That's what I said.

EMMA: And now,
I really like it here.

So, does that
clear everything up?

It does.
Yes. It does.

I'm so sorry that
this is so awkward.

But, yeah.
Great.

So, good. I'm glad
we talked it out.

Yeah.
Cool.

What did I tell you? I told
you it wasn't a bribe.

Yeah, no.

I'd feel a lot better
if she didn't touch her nose

when she said it wasn't.

Good morning.

Hi, Ray. How are you feeling?

I'm fine, thanks
to Hank and Divya.

If you hadn't
referred me to them...

I don't even want to
think about that.

We're glad you're okay.
Look at you guys.

Already, you're working.

I knew I made the right
choice with you two.

About that.

Yeah?

We're really sorry, but we're not
going to be able to work with you.

We're no longer with
Sutton and Chesterfield.

Well, I could care less
about Sutton and Chesterfield.

But you signed
a contract with them.

That won't be a problem. You
just take care of my house.

I'll take care of the contract.

Why don't we work with you as your
private consultants, Mr. Mazzarino?

Yes. Yes, your
private consultants.

Call me Ray.

Then it's decided.

Lawson and Berger, you are
now employed directly by me.

[IN FRENCH PRONUNCIATION]
Berger

and Lawson.

BILL: Sacani!

Oh, that's him.
That's the new Gladys.

Oh. Hi, there. Evan R.
Lawson, CFO of HankMed.

Bill Cartwright.
Bringing in the big g*ns, huh?

Well, I think
kudos are in order.

What for?

You got your famous
snowboarder back.

I have to admit,
I underestimated you.

But at the end of the day,

when it comes to
labs and equipment,

we're still the only game
in town.

Game theory would suggest

there are always alternatives.

Well, uh, what are you
going to do?

You're going to start
your own hospital?

[CHUCKLES]

I wish we could start
our own hospital.
