Well, as of now, it hasn't progressed to the point where my damn life is over.

I hope it's okay.

Uh, she wanted to show you something.

What is this? More deals?

Answers to what?

What does all this mean?

Uh, it's a website for a new program in Germany.

It shows some promise with undifferentiated sarcoma.

She... she wants him to keep fighting, but he's done fighting.

You think that's what's happening?

What, it's not?

What's happening is that he needs a friend, but she doesn't see him like that.

No.

Of course she does.

I don't have much time left, Kathy.

I'm gonna give you two more weeks, that's it.

I'm not quitting. I'm dying.

This isn't an action item, Kathy.

You can't fix it...

Told you.

... with memos or bring in H.R.

Or appeal to the shareholders.

It's final.

Oh, she turns around when she doesn't wanna listen anymore.

Perfect. [Sighs]

I've known about Guthrie for several weeks.

Don't suspend Malaya.

Not her fault. I told her not to say nothing.

You knew?

I-I knew something was wrong.

I just didn't know what.

What you did violates the law.

That puts this hospital at risk.

Most importantly, it puts patients at risk.

I know.

Do you have anything to say in your defense?

No, I just rather you fire me than suspend Malaya.

[Sighs]

I don't have a choice, Jesse.

I have to do both.

How you feel?

If you're gonna lecture me, remember your rank, Colonel.

Oh, I do.

You know, when I first deployed, I was scared to death.

I thought, there is no way I'm gonna last two days, let alone six months.

And then I looked at you and I thought... that guy... that's what I need to be.

I've always been honored to serve under you, so much so that I probably couldn't see what was going on.

But that was my instinct, to serve.

Guess it's a hard thing to turn off.

And you thought you could exploit it.

'Cause that's why you're really here. Right?

There's no job offer.

There can be.

Give me a chance to make this right.

You wanna make this right?

You let me help you.

You see?

I can't shut it off.

Hi, Daddy.

[Whispers] Hey, baby.

[Sighs]

My head hurts.

I know.

Am I going to die?

Yes... when you're 98.

Maybe 99, but not before you're old and ugly.

[Both laugh]

[Bells tolling]

No.

You're gonna be fine.
