01x06 - If I Were A Sick Man

[bunniefuu]

I'm Hank.
I was your typical
emergency room doctor.

Until I got fired.

ADMINISTRATOR:
You let a billionaire
hospital trustee die

to save some kid
off the street.

I made a judgment call.

You made a mistake.

HANK: This is my brother.

I'm Evan R. Lawson, CPA.

HANK: He took me away
from my troubles
and to the Hamptons.

And suddenly,
I had a chance to become
a whole new kind of doctor.

It turns out the wealthy
and not so wealthy out here

could use a guy who
makes house calls.

So, I've got a second chance
to do what I do best.

HANK: So.

So.

So that happened.

Finally.

Not that I was getting
impatient. I just
meant that... That...

Never mind.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

Boy, I'm relieved.

That it finally happened.

[LAUGHS] No. That you're
even worse at having this
conversation than I am.

[LAUGHS]
Happy to help out.

Hmm.

I've got to ask.
What is that tattoo about?

[CHUCKLES]
It's from my crazy days.

You know,
sowing my wild oats,
acting on impulse.

You know how it is.

Not really.

Wait. You're telling me
that you never went through
a rebellious phase?

I didn't go to an
lvy League med school.
Does that count?

You have to have
a rebellious phase,
Hank. Everybody does.

I disagree.
I mean, why?

So you can have an
awkward conversation
about it

the morning after
you sleep with someone.

Well, we were doing that
just fine before all this.

Now, that,
we agree on.

I can think of something else
we will definitely agree on.

Breakfast in bed.

No. That's
too much trouble.

Well, a couple of
bowls, spoons, a box,
and some milk.

Okay. You're right.
That isn't
any trouble at all.

See?
Was that so hard?

Tucker.
What's going on?

Uh, I know this is kind of
an aggressive move,
showing up at your doorstep,

but I have an
aggressive dilemma.

No, no, no.
Come on in.

Uh, you know what?
Why don't we, uh...

Why don't we
go outside? Okay?

Come on.

EVAN: Eighty-seven dollars.

Wow. That's more than
I spent buying women
cocktails last night.

Keep it, man. Ciao.

[GRUNTS]

I really need a car.

Why would you think
Libby's cheating on you?

Because after
she borrowed my laptop,

there were pregnancy websites
in the browser history.

And she's been moody,
and she's been tired.
And her...

Chestal area has
undergone, like,
an extreme growth spurt.

And how is it
you know these are
pregnancy indicators?

From the pregnancy websites.

You read them, too?

Yeah, well...
When in Rome...

Okay. Look.

Even if she is pregnant,
that doesn't mean
she's cheating on you.

Well, it does if we've
never slept together.

Oh. Yeah,
that kind of does.

I love her, Hank.
Or I... Or I did.

HANK: Then talk to her.

And listen to what she says,
even if it isn't
what you want to hear.

Because maybe this
is a misunderstanding
and maybe it's not,

but either way,
you can't solve it alone.

Hey.

Well,
good morning, Jill.

Good morning. Um...
Have you seen Hank?

He's outside. In an EMBM.
Early Morning
Business Meeting.

Oh.

Looks like you had
fun last night.

Mmm. Looks like
Hank did, too.

I'd expect a more
mature reaction from
someone eating Fruity Puffs.

Actually, Fruity Puffs
are high in calcium.

They help strengthen
your bones and teeth.

That's the milk.
Really?

Yeah, really.
Okay, these are
horrible for you.

TUCKER: Hey, Jill.
Jesus.

Tucker.
Hi, how are you?

Uh, in an existential
crisis. You?

[CELL PHONE BUZZING]

[EVAN EXCLAIMS]

Wait for it.

[BEEPS]

It's urgent.

Uh, lz-May Ewberg-Nay.

Ms. Newparts Newberg?

Mmm. Hell of an
encryption system.

I'm operating
on very little sleep.

I'll let you guys
get to work.

I'll walk you
to your car.

So, yeah. We've never
officially met. But I've
heard a lot about you.

Evan R. Lawson.
CFO of HankMed.

Tucker Bryant, 16.

Cool. So, that's your
Ferrari outside, huh?

Yeah. One of them.

Oh, my God.
That must be nice.

Last night, I was
at this club. I was hitting
on the hottest girl there.

Like, by far,
the hottest girl there.
She's a model from Wilhelmina.

And I was right about
to close the deal. Like,
right, right, right there.

And then she found out
I didn't have a car.
You know what she said?

Wait. Hold on.
You don't have a car?

That's exactly what she said.
Like, that's...
Even the way she said it.

I heard that, like,
three times last night.

Well, listen.
Dad does a lot of business
with Bridgehampton Motors.

Tell them
Marshall Bryant sent you.
They'll hook you up.

Really?
Yeah.

Thanks, man. Wow.

No problem, dude.
It was nice to meet you.
I've got to go.

Okay.

You know what? Uh...

Let me return the favor
by dropping some of
my lady knowledge on you.

Your lady knowledge?

Yeah. Knowledge about ladies.
Not just stuff ladies know.

You know, lady knowledge.
Yeah. I get around.
Without a car?

Let's not dwell
on that, okay?
Let's just move past that.

Thank heaven you're here.

Oh.

Sore throat,
cough, fever, mucus.

It started
a couple of days ago,
and I'm worried, Hank.

She's my right hand
and my left.
And sometimes my brain.

Esperanza,
I told you to go to bed.

You should be
convalescing,
not cleaning.

And let your tchotchkes
go undusted? How could
I live with myself?

And I told you,
I don't need a doctor.

[COUGHING]

NEWBERG: Hank is
more than a doctor.
He's family.

Now, sit down,
and I'm going to get you
something to drink.

All right, Esperanza.
Let me have a look at you.

Why don't you
sit down over here?

Okay. Would you
open your mouth, please?

[SNIFFLING]

Deep breath in.

[INHALES]
Out.

[COUGHS]

And again.

[INHALES]

HANK: I hear crackling
in the right base.
Sounds like pneumonia.

[THERMOMETER BEEPS]



Okay. Rest, fluids,
some antibiotics,

and you'll be
back on your feet
in no time.

No time is
too much time.

I need to be better
by tomorrow. To help
Ms. Newberg with the event.

You need to stay in bed.

It's a religious
rite of passage.

And it's important to her.

She needs me,
and I'm not going
to let her down.

HANK: Yeah.
One sec, Esperanza.

If she exerts herself
in this condition,

we'll be back here
in 24 hours looking at
a more severe case.

I mean, there
has to be a way
we can help her.

A liter of five percent
dextrose and normal saline.

Two milligrams
magnesium sulfate.

A hundred mils thiamin,
a mil of folic acid...

Banana bag.
Exactly.

If it gets me on my feet,
I'll eat six bags.

[CHUCKLES] Esperanza,
you don't need to do
anything but lie there.

You sound like my husband.

HANK: Okay.

I'll find a place
to hang it.

Okay. You're all set.
I'll check on you tomorrow.

The doctor says I'll
be okay by tomorrow.

Oh, Hank. My man.
My miracle worker.

You're always there for me.
Come to the Bark Mitzvah.
I insist.

I'm sorry. Did you say
"Bark" Mitzvah?

Yes. For our good
little boy, Koufax.

Tomorrow, he's a man.

But today, he's a dog.

NEWBERG:
Nevertheless, he's family.

My husband was Jewish,
and this is how we agreed
to raise the children.

So, you'll come?

Uh, mostly to keep
an eye on Esperanza.

And to see your dog
become a man.

[KOUFAX BARKS]

HANK: Delicious.
But I bet they don't make
a bowl of cereal like I do.

JILL: I bet
they make it faster.

Again,
I'm sorry about that.

And again, it's okay.
It's not like you
want to be interrupted.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]
Right.

Or is it?

What I haven't told you
is this isn't
actually a phone.

It's an alarm that's
set to go off whenever
I get dangerously relaxed.

I'm sorry. I've got
to do a follow-up.

It's okay.

Oh, hey. You want to
go to a party tomorrow?

What kind of party?

A Bark Mitzvah.
A what Mitzvah?

Yeah. It's when
a Jewish dog turns 13
and is required to...

I'm not seriously
trying to explain this.

It's a party.
I've got to go.
I will call you later.

Bye.

Good morning, Ms. Casey.

Dr. Adams.

See you at the
board meeting later?

Oh, you know I love
a good board meeting.

[LAUGHS]

Now, tell me. Was that
Hank Lawson you were having
breakfast with just now?

Do you know him?
I know he had
a fairly easy time

borrowing
our MRI truck.

I know you offered him
the ER job,
which he turned down.

And I know that 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,

and a very thin,
blurry line running
down the middle.

Just pick a lane, Ms. Casey.
It's safer that way.

So, why don't you
just, uh, drop me
at the dealership,

do your follow-up call,
and pick me up
on your way back?

Because that would
deprive us of
valuable bonding time.

Okay. Great. Cool.
What do you...
What would you like to...

Evan. It's because they're
in opposite directions.

I was being sarcastic.

Yeah. Right. Yeah.
Well, it's hard to tell
with your accent sometimes.

So, uh...
That's cool. Sorry.

It's locked.

[WOMAN COUGHING]

Hello. Ms. Day?

[GROANS] Yes?

Hi. We're from HankMed.
I'm Divya Katdare,
and this is...

Evan R. Lawson.
Hi. CFO.
Nice to meet you.

Divya Katdare.
What are the odds?

What are the odds
of what?
Your mother hired me

to help plan
your engagement party.

[CHUCKLES] Your what?

Evan, go wait in the car.

In fact, I just got the
mock-up of the invitation.
Where is it? Ah. Here we go.

I'm sure
you are mistaken.

You're saying there's
two Divya Katdares
in the Hamptons?

Yeah, the odds
of that would be...

Evan. Go wait in the car.

So, I'm going to
go wait in the car.

Uh, it's been a pleasure
meeting you, though. Bye.

Look. I'm sorry if
I spoke out of turn.

Quite all right. Evan?

Yeah?
DIVYA: Car.

All right.

[SIGHS]

If you want, um...
This one's extra.

You can take it
and decide if you
like the design...

Thank you, Ms. Day.

But I'm sure whatever
my mother selects will
be perfectly acceptable.

[COUGHING]

Now let's listen
to your lungs,
shall we?

NEWBERG: Antoine
was asleep when you came.

Otherwise, I would
have had you
look in on him then.

I thought he was just
jetlagged. But apparently,
he's sick, too.

And who exactly
is Antoine?

He's my Tunisian decorator.
Oh, he's fabulous.

And he's family,
just like you.

Antoine, meet Hank,
my on-call magician.

How long have
you felt sick?

Uh...
A week, perhaps.

Antoine travels the world
searching for only the most
fabulous things for my houses.

Coming from Paris,
I was seated in the last row
of the business class,

next to the curtain.

But the germs,
they do not
respect the curtain.

Yeah, germs are like that.
Would you breathe in for me?

[INHALES]

And again?

[INHALES]

Hmm. Well, I know
you weren't
searching for it,

but what you've found
is this fabulous case of
pneumonia that's going round.

This explains why
it has been so painful
when I smoke.

No. No smoking, Antoine.
And no party tomorrow,
either. Just rest.

You're probably
still contagious.

No smoking.
No drinking.
Alone in bed.

I am a disgrace to France.

[CHUCKLES]

Can you get post-traumatic
stress disorder
from sticker shock?

Only if you can
afford the car.

Otherwise, it's called
delusions of grandeur.

[LAUGHS SARCASTICALLY]

Look. What you
heard back there,

I want you to forget it.
Understood?

Um, I would.
Like, I really want to.

Except this invitation
keeps reminding me.

You rifled through
a patient's file, Evan?

No. I did not.

It was sticking out of
a folder that you
threw in my lap, actually.

And PS, it's not rifling
if you know what
you're looking for.

Whatever it is you think
that you know about me,
you know nothing.

Well, if that was some
kind of Jedi mind trick,
it didn't work,

because I still know
you're engaged.

You couldn't possibly
understand my situation.

Frankly, sometimes
I don't understand it.

But, please.
Just let it go.

Why are you so clinical?
Divya, it's not a situation.
It's a wedding.

It's...
It's two people in love,

forcing their friends
to dance to We Are Family.
You know?

[STAMMERING]
It's...

Wait a minute.
Is this an
arranged marriage?

Why? Why,
because I'm Indian?

Why, that's...
That's quite an
unenlightened stereotype.

Yes. It's a
strategic marriage.

I knew it.
I can't believe it.

Like, have you
even met this guy?

Rajan Bandy...
Bandyopad?

Ban... Bandyopad.

Bandyopadhyay.

Yeah,
I would have got it.

Of course
I've met him.

Well, that's good.

Oh, my God.

Is he buying you?
Is this, like,
a mail-order thing?

No.
Oh, thank God.

I grew up with him.

And he is wonderful.
And handsome. Smart.
Successful. Kind.

Do you want to
marry him?

You're the first person
who's asked me that.

People don't usually
ask questions they
don't want the answers to.

Thank you.
Mmm-hmm.

Evan?

Yeah.

If you breathe a word
of this to anyone,

I will find a medically
plausible way to k*ll you.

And get away with it.

JILL: Is Newberg's dog
or dog years?

HANK: You know,
I was wondering
the same thing,

until I realized it's
a dog party, and we have
better things to think about.

Hello? Can you hear me?
Where the hell
are my yarmulkes?

Yarmulkes? The beanies
without the propellers?

Ms. Newberg.
Hi! Shalom.
And, uh, mazel tov.

Thank you so much
for having us.

[SPEAKING YIDDISH]

Yes, it is.
Uh, it is long-a.
Trust me.

Oh, Hank!

I believe you
know Jill Casey.

Hello, Ms. Newberg.
Of course.

I didn't know
you two were a couple.

Well, we're...
Not.

Well, it looks like
you might have
some things to discuss.

Uh... Yeah, so,
how's Esperanza doing?

Tip-top, thanks to you.
You saved us again.

[CHUCKLES]

You feel a little warm.

That's because
I'm simmering
with excitement.

This is a big day
for Koufax.

Yes, it is. Mazelruff.

[LAUGHING]

Hey, Tucker.

Oh. Evan.
What's up, man?

Nothing.

Good to see you.
You a friend
of the family or something?

Yeah, uh, kind of.
Fleming and Koufax

were in obedience class
together, so...

Fleming?

Libby's dog.

Oh. But Fleming
is his name?

Yeah, it's like the guy
who invented penicillin.

Oh. Of course. Wow.
So, did you, uh,
take my advice?

No, man.
I cannot r*fle
through her stuff.

Again, it's not rifling
if you know what you're
look... Okay.

Dude. If you
don't trust her
enough to snoop

because you think you're
going to find something bad,
you don't trust her at all.

Which means that
the real insult would be
to not go through her stuff.

Hi.

Hi. Here,
show some respect.

[SPEAKING HEBREW]

How many are the things
you have made, O Lord.

The fish of the sea.
The beasts of the field.

The birds of the air...

About before...
With the couple thing?

What couple thing?

The "us" couple thing?
Shh.

I thought there was
no "us" couple thing.

You're mad.

Mad? No, I'm not mad.
I'm just confused.

Shh.

RABBl: With wisdom,
you made them all.

The earth is full
of your creations.

It's just...
Do we really need a label?

Shh.

[COUGHING]

Will the Bark Mitzvah boy
please come up?

Yeah, I like labels.
They let me know
what things are.

[PEOPLE EXCLAIMING]

Find an ice pack.
I need my bag.

HANK: Breathe out.

[COUGHING]

[GROANS]

Okay, your
lungs sound awful.

Just like Antoine's
and Esperanza's did.

What does that mean?

It means you ought to
end this party and go to bed.

[GROANING]

These are not
breath mints,
are they?

I'm sorry, dude.

Um... What are you
doing in there, Tucker?

Yeah. Actually,
what are you doing?

Are you insane?
Give me that.

You owe me
an explanation.

I think you
owe me an apology.

What are you doing
with birth control?

[SHUSHING]
What are you doing
going through my purse?

Finding birth control,
for one thing.

A woman's purse
is sacrosanct, Tucker.

It's a virtual extension
of her person.

How can I
trust you now?

Oh, that's really,
really funny you should
say that, Libby.

Because I was just
wondering the
exact same thing.

Okay, so, guys, um...

Now that we've
established the fact that
we have trust issues...

Who the hell
are you?

I'm, uh, Evan R. Lawson.
CFO of, uh, HankMed.

[CLEARING THROAT] I'm
going to leave you to it.
So, Tucker, talk later.

How's
Ms. Newberg doing?

Dehydrated,
feverish, coughing,

and insisting the party
continue without her.

So... Can we
talk about things?

Okay.

My job isn't
like yours, Hank.

I deal with perception.

And with a small community
where people might wonder

if my relationship with you
could compromise my judgment.

Well, does it
compromise your judgment?

No.
Okay.

So, then, who cares
what people think?

I know I shouldn't.
But I do.

[SIGHS]

My ex was
a local doctor, too.

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

But I'm the same person.

Making good
professional choices,

bad personal ones,
and paying the price for it.

And at some point, I...
I may just need to
learn from my mistakes.

Oh, okay.
So, now,
we're a mistake.

No. It's...

It's a long story,
and we don't have time
for long stories right now.

Okay. So,
what are you saying?

For now, I'd just like
to keep "us" between us.

EVAN: Hank!

What happened?

She started coughing
and passed out.

She told me yesterday
she's a diabetic. Where's
her blood sugar equipment?

Uh, on the kitchen counter.
The insulin's in the fridge.

I'll get it.
Next to the Botox!

Her breath's fruity.
Because of fruit?

No. Because she's
a diabetic in ketoacidosis.
Help me get her up.

All right. I need to get
some fluids in her. My bag?

Thank you.
Hold that.

Whatever this
respiratory thing is,

it threw her sugars
out of whack
and sent her into DKA.

What is it? The flu?

Well, I thought it was
pneumonia, only it hasn't
responded to antibiotics,

and it's moving
through this place.

Antoine, Esperanza,
Newberg...

Bonnie Day.

Bonnie Day?

My party planner.

Divya treated her
in town yesterday.

And what was
Divya's diagnosis?

That I should
wait in the car.

I diagnosed her
with walking pneumonia,
prescribed antibiotics,

and advised
rest and fluids.

HANK: [ON PHONE] And
how are you feeling?

Fine.
Uh, what can I do?

Get here quick
with oxygen, a foley,
a urometer, a green top tube,

and plenty of ceftriaxone
and azithromycin.
Then hope one of them works,

because so far, nothing has
on anyone whose had extended
contact with Patient Zero.

DIVYA: And
who is Patient Zero?

So, Antoine,
are you feeling
any better?

[SPEAKING FRENCH]

[SIGHS]

I feel like crap.

Even without my high
school French, I could
have translated that.

When you were in Paris,
were you in contact
with anyone who was ill?

No. It wasn't Paris.
It was 20 hours in the air.

Why did it take you
New York from France?

Because I was coming
first from China.

And what were
you doing in China?

Buying things.
Ceramics from Guangdong,
silks from Hunan...

Hunan?
Hunan Province?

Oui. Filthy place.

Chickens everywhere.
Does that matter?

I'm afraid it might.

TUCKER: Why won't you
just admit that you're
cheating on me?

LIBBY: Because
I'm not, Tucker.

The only person
who's done anything
wrong here is you.

I only went through
your purse because
I trusted you enough

to think that I
wouldn't find anything.

But I did find something,
which means that you're
the one who violated my trust.

That's the most twisted,
asinine thing you,

and possibly anyone,
has ever said, Tucker.

I'm done. We're over.
I'm out of here.

JILL: What did
you find out?

That this thing seems
to have originated
with Newberg's house guest

after his recent trip
to Hunan Province in China.

China?
So what are you thinking?
SARS? Avian Flu?

Doubtful,
and I don't want to
jump to any conclusions,

but we can't afford
to rule anything out.

Hank, I really,
really need to leave.

Actually, Libby,
I don't think that's
such a good idea.

Okay, everyone,

please bear with me
until we can be sure
that when we do leave here,

we're not taking
anything with us
but the gift bag.

So, anyone feeling sick,
stay in the living room.

Everyone else, outside.

[PEOPLE GROANING]
Thank you.

Shouldn't we get
the critical patients
to the ICU?

Well, how many
free beds do you have?

At the moment? Two.

No. Then,
we're past that.

You'd be boarding
patients in the ER
from the word "go"

and risk infecting
the hospital.

So, right now
this is the hospital.

Uh-huh.

Hello.
This is Bridgehampton,
not North Korea.

Why aren't you
telling us
what this is?

Because we don't know
what it is yet.

Well, I feel feverish.
I feel lightheaded.
I just got a chill.

Oh, my God. Here it comes.
It's Legionnaire's, isn't it,
Hank? Just tell me if it is.

Libby, level with me.
Are you really feeling sick?

Yes.

Okay. Um...
Are you currently
on any medication?

Birth control.

So, it's unlikely
you're pregnant.

Assuming the whole
immaculate conception deal
was just a onetime thing,

I'm going to say,
yeah, highly unlikely.

Oh. Well, okay. Good.
Very responsible of you
and Tucker.

We're talking the pill,
not a purity ring.

I know. Uh, look.
Stay in the living room, rest,

and let me know
if your symptoms
progress. Okay?

[MOUTHING]

If this is worst-case
scenario, we should
be calling County Health.

And if it's not,
that's the last thing
we should do.

They'll wrap us in red tape
and lock us down
for three days

while they
wait for the CDC.

This is so not the time
for your rebellious phase.

I'm not rebelling.

I'm saying why jump
to conclusions and create
panic before we diagnose this?

You can't have it
both ways, Hank.

You can't confine people
because it might be serious,

but not report it
because it might not be.
There is protocol.

Or should I ignore it
because it's you asking?

Look, I'm not trying to
compromise your judgment.
We just disagree.

Yeah, but this isn't
awkward pillow talk.

This is a house full of
people, and we have no idea
what's threatening them.

Okay, fine.
Then, you follow your
instincts and call County.

And while they mobilize,
I'll follow mine. Okay?

Fine. Yeah.
Great.

HANK: I'm not sure if
it's viral or bacterial.

Well, whatever it is,
I should be in there
assisting you.

Sorry, that's not happening.
You need to keep
a safe distance.

Oh, okay, and do what, Hank?
What, stand by?

HANK: I need you to get
some sputum cultures
over to Hamptons Heritage.

Fine. Will do.

You're missing
quite the party in there.

It's totally sick.
Not in a good way,
obviously.

But, uh, sick,
nonetheless.
I know, distance.

Believe me,
I'd happily trade
places with you.

[CHUCKLES]
Thanks for the
medical gear, Divya.

Here's your sputum cultures.
Don't spend them
all in one place.

I feel useless out here.
Is that what it's like
to be you?

Wow. Do you treat patients
with that bedside manner?

You know, I could have
a fatal disease right now.

It wouldn't k*ll you
to say something nice,
you know.

I know.
But why risk it?

So, what exactly
is this illness we
can't risk spreading?

I'm notifying County Health
right now to determine that.

We should call the police.

Who will call the hospital,
who will call County Health,

who, as I just said,
I'm notifying.

Well, I think
this constitutes
unlawful imprisonment.

And I'm an attorney.

You're an
entertainment attorney.

I'm leaving.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait.

If you leave,
you will put not only
your health at risk,

but possibly
the entire community.

Now, do you really
want to do that?

[CELL PHONE BEEPING]

Oh. My doctor
just texted me.

He says I should
be allowed to go.

Oh, okay.
Are you kidding?

Wait. Wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

Hello?
Hello. Hi. Um...

Come on, boy. I...
Look, I've got a job
to do here.

Oh, sure, the dog
gets the doctor.
I got his assistant.

Physician assistant.
She's a medical professional,
not a secretary.

Well, whatever she is,
I feel like hell.

Come on, Koufax.
Down, please.

[WHIMPERING]

[MAN COUGHING]

Did you... Did you
know Koufax is sick?

I know he was.
Last week.

No, he is. He's hot.
His breathing is
labored and constricted.

We took him to the vet.

NEWBERG: They said
it was kennel cough.

He's been taking pills
since then.

He's pretty much
stopped coughing.
I thought he was better.

There's a dull spot
right here in his chest.
It's probably an empyema.

A what?

It's an accumulation
of pus in the lungs.

He isn't coughing
because it's so painful

that it's forcing him
to take shallow breaths.

I need to see
his meds right away.

JILL: Stop. People.
Can you please just
give me one minute?

Give us our keys
or we will sue you.

Please, I have
a theory about
what this is.

You do?
And I think I can test it.

Oh. So, uh...
Yeah. So, don't leave.

I know you're tired.
I know you're frustrated.
So am I.

But you don't want
to walk out of here

if it means you risk spreading
this to your friends,
your family, your neighbors.

So, what's it going to be?

[SIRENS WAILING]

MAN: East side!
Set up a perimeter!

COP: [ON LOUDSPEAKER]
Okay. Nobody move any further.
Stop right there.

What is that thing that
you wanted me to do after
I dropped off the cultures?

Keep your distance.

Oh, right.

[CHUCKLES]

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

Jill Casey.
Got it.

They want us back inside.

All right, let's go.
Let's go, let's go.

They want us
back inside.
Move. Go. Go.

Yeah. I understand.
And I will get right
back to you with an answer.

Okay, they really
want to come in
and join this party.

If you need me
to hold them off,

I need you
to give me this theory.

Okay, here's
what I'm thinking.

Koufax doesn't
have kennel cough.
He never did.

He has the same thing
that's going around here.

And despite being on
antibiotics and anti-virals
for about a week,

he has it worse.

Which leads me to believe
that Antoine isn't
our Patient Zero,

Koufax is.

Koufax made us sick?

Yes. And based
on the severity
of the symptoms

he passed it to Antoine,
who passed it to Esperanza

who passed it to Bonnie
and then to you.

Indicating an
incubation period
of around a week.

Explaining why
today's guests are only
beginning to show symptoms.

Yeah, but doesn't a dog
have to bite you
to get you sick?

With this, coughing
or licking your face
would be enough.

But what is "this"?

That's what we're going to
find out. Ms. Newberg,
I need to operate.

On me?

No. Believe it
or not, on him.

Wait. What are you saying?
Shouldn't we call a vet?

It's too late for that.
If we're going to diagnose
this and save Koufax,

we need to do it now.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

Yeah.

Hank, you haven't
failed me yet.
Don't start now.

No. No, we just
need a little more time.

Yes. I trust his judgment,
and I take full
responsibility for it.

Laryngoscope?

Tube?

Thank you.

[CLEARING THROAT]

Oh, my gosh.

Patient intubated.
Scissors?

Okay, bag him.

We're going to need
a microscope. Do we have
a microscope in the truck?

Why would we
have a microscope?

HANK: For situations
like this.

There's never been
a situation like this.

How about your pals
in the driveway?

They're here to evacuate,
not evaluate.

Okay. I'll figure
something out.

All right, Betadine.

All right,
once we drain the empyema,

we should be able
to culture and
diagnose this thing.

Lidocaine?

What's going to happen
to Koufax?

He's going to
feel a lot better.

Scalpel.

Don't worry.
When I was in med school,
my first patient was a dog.

Oh, yeah.

Wow.

Okay. Inserting tube.

Good boy, Koufax.

Very good boy.

Okay.
Now, if we could just
see this stuff up close.

Can you guys
give me a hand
with something?

I am not doing
anything with him.

[SCOFFS]

All these diamonds.
She must have
dozens of jeweler's loupes.

Yeah.

Look, you should know
that Tucker only
went through your purse

because of my advice.

I don't believe you.

Why not?

Because Tucker is smart.

Why would he go to you,
a not smart person,
for bad advice?

So, because he's smart,
he could give himself
bad advice?

I guess you're right.

Okay. So, why would
you tell him to
go through my purse?

And why would he do it?

[SIGHS] Because,
I don't care
how smart a guy is,

when it comes to women,
every one of us is,
or has been, a moron.

So, you can break up
with Tucker if you want
and move on to the next guy.

But eventually,
that guy is going to do
something stupid, too.

It's how we're built.

Ah. Bingo.

Okay.

Okay. Here,
hold this under the plate.

Perfect. All right.

Good news.
It isn't viral,
it's bacterial.

Which means it isn't
SARS or Avian Flu.

So, why isn't it
responding
to antibiotics?

Well, that's
the bad news.

It's methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus.

Staphylococcolus?
I'm not a doctor, guys.

What does that mean?
Are we going to be okay?

MRSA. It's a
staph infection that doesn't
respond to most antibiotics.

Except vancomycin.

Which we should
have in the truck.

Which we do
have in the truck.

Good. Because
I don't think
I could build that.

[SIRENS WAILING]

You're going to be fine.
All right, you can take over.
Go right down there.

So, thank you
for a lovely party.

Ah, and thank you for
saving me. And Koufax.

HANK: Well,
he's a little man now.

[CHUCKLES] This experience
is changing me, Hank.

Mark my words.

Sure. You're
going to slow down,
have fewer parties,

focus on what
really matters.

No, I'm going to fill
my social calendar
to overflowing.

If a disease like this
can take you
in ten minutes,

you've got to make hay
while the sun shines.

You know, you are
just as stubborn
as this one over here.

Esperanza?
What do you mean?

Well, I told her
yesterday to
go to bed,

but she insisted
on working the party

because she didn't
want to let you down.

Well, she is family.

Some family.
I never got a party.

[CHUCKLES] Listen to her!
I'll give you a Quinceañera.

At my age?
You'd have to
throw three.

[CHUCKLES]

If it's all the same,
Ms. Newberg,

I've decided not to list
this event as a reference.

[SIGHS]

Bye, Doctor.
Bye, Bonnie.

Yo. Uh...
I need a ride home.

I have some more
cultures to do,
then I'm taking Jill home.

So, you can wait,
or you can
find another ride.

Oh. I really need a car.

Libby? You have to
listen to me.

It's okay, Tucker.
Hey, I know you're
not a bad person.

You're
just a moron.

Okay. I'm definitely
getting mixed
signals here.

You can trust me,
Tucker.

I'm not going anywhere.
I'm not going
to let you down.

I'm not your dad.

Okay. Well, then,
you just tell me what
the birth control is for.

Because...
Okay, I know what
it's for, but...

Yeah, it was...
But...

Uh, it's for...
For us. Us.

But we don't...
I mean, we've never...

Tucker, you know me.
I'm a planner.

[CHUCKLES] Well, I didn't...
I didn't know
you were planning that.

[LAUGHING]

Okay. Listen.
I promise I'll never...

I'll never do something
stupid like go through
your purse ever again.

Yes, you will.

It's how you're built.

Hey, Divya.
So, I just wanted to say,

if you ever need anybody
to talk about
your situation with...

Mmm-hmm?

Uh, I'm your guy.
Or, if you want, I can just,
you know, I can listen.

I'll keep that in mind.

Yeah. Because women
really like it when a man
listens, or so I've heard.

Then listen to this.

I don't want to
discuss my situation.

I don't want you
to discuss my situation.

And the last thing
I want is to discuss
my situation with you.

But, thank you.

You're welcome.

Is there any way
that I could
get a ride home?

Of course.
Call a taxi.

Thanks.
Mmm-hmm.

[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]

So.

So.

Look, I'm sorry
I questioned
your instincts.

Yeah, I'm sorry I keep
complicating your job.

And look,
whatever mistakes
you've made before, I...

You know we're surrounded
by every health worker
in the county, right?

I'm over the whole
perception thing.

You are?
Yeah. I'd rather
take the heat

for being with the right guy
than play by the book
with the wrong one.

Right guy, wrong guy...
I mean, do we
really need labels?

[BOTH CHUCKLING]

So, how does pizza
and a shower sound?

Like the crust
would get soggy.

So, is now a good time
for a long story?

Hmm.

His name is Charlie,
and he worked at
Hamptons Heritage.

It cost me my marriage,
it almost cost me my job,

and it was just one
of the many, many things
wrong between us.

Did you guys ever
disagree on how to
quarantine a party?

No, I can't say we did.

So, we've got
that going for us.

We do.
Which is nice.

[BOTH LAUGH]

Why do you think
you never had
a rebellious phase?

I just never
saw the point.
You know?

Guys piercing stuff,
smoking stuff,
stealing stuff.

It just seemed like
a lot of posing to me.

Hmm.
It probably was.

But what I'm talking
about is doing what
you believe in,

even though everyone
around you
thinks you're crazy.

Maybe this is
my rebellious phase.

[CAR HORN HONKING]

EVAN: Hank! Hank!

Look at this! Look at it!
How awesome is this thing?

Zero to sixty
in 3.9 seconds!

And it's electric, baby!
It's electric!

[CHUCKLES]
Where did you get it?

I didn't. Hank did.

"Dear Hank, I can
never repay you
for saving my life,

"but that doesn't mean
I can't try. Shalom,
Koufax Newberg."

He even signed it
with a little paw print.
So cute.

Can we take it for a spin?
You take it for a spin.

Yes!

In fact, just take it.

Take it, like, for a...
Take it, like...

What do you mean?
Take it, like, how?

Like, it's yours.

Henry, do not play games
with my heart. I am not...

I'm not playing
with your heart.
I have a car. You don't.

I don't like people
staring at me. You do.

Oh, my God. Really?

[LAUGHING]

[EVAN LAUGHING]

I love you so much.

Oh, my God,
I love you so much

I don't even know
what to do with myself.
I love you so much.

I love you, too.

I was talking to the car.
