02x18 - Listen to the Music

[bunniefuu]

l'm pregnant.
You're going
to be a father.

l promised myself
that this disease
would die with me.

Sometimes,
promises have to be broken.

Maybe after the wedding,
l shouldn't stay in London,

because maybe
l could kiss
another patient.

Divya?

Ms. Newberg and l
are moving in together.

You invested in companies
that didn't exist.
Okay, let's start there.

Allegedly didn't exist.

Yeah, you're
going to jail, Dad.

lf you desire for your father
to have a less stressful
environment,

l can make those arrangements.

l was just thinking that,
l mean, it's been a while.

Maybe we should
get together.

l'd like that.

EVAN: Marisa's not
moving out, huh?

No.
Looks like we are.

What kind of man kicks
two wonderful kids
out of his house?

We're not kids
anymore, Dad.

You are to me.

And wherever l have a home,
you'll always have one, too.

You mean
wherever Ms. Newberg
has a home?

Yeah.
l'm just kidding, Pop.

Thanks for
taking us in
off the streets.

Yeah, we wouldn't last long
out on the rough beaches
of Southampton.

Oh, and when l join
Ms. Newberg in Manhattan,

her place is all yours
until next summer.

What?
That's awesome.

Uh, given what we're
about to walk into,

you might want to
hold off on relocating
to Fifth Avenue.

Please.
lt's gonna go my way.

Absolutely, Dad.
l know it.

All right.
Well, let's go find out.

[TANGO MUSlC PLAYlNG]

Filmmaker.

Documentarian.

Raj, please.

Hardly a way
to support a family.

He doesn't do
it for the money.

Why not?

He doesn't need to.

RAJ: Ah,
Adam comes from money.

ls that what
attracted you to him?

Can we please change
the subject?

Now that's passion.

Listen to the music.

Destiny has rhythm.

And it's clear you two
are fated for each other.

[EXHALES]

What are you doing?

Well, we feel fated
to take a break.

A break?

Divya, this is
tango boot camp
for your wedding.

You did not hire
a world-famous choreographer
to watch you take a break.

So for the next two days,
there are no breaks.

There is only tango.

Now dance.

Where'd you find
this guy again?

He was a patient.
Earlier this summer,
he dislocated his toe.

Technically, l shouldn't
have told you that.

Well, add it to the list.

RlCHARDS: Thanks for agreeing
to this interview, Jill.

So, ever hiked
the Appalachian Trail?

Well, uh...

There's no wrong answer,
in case you're wondering.

Then, no, l haven't.

Well, put it at the top
of your to-do list.

l'd still be up
on the Franconia Ridge

if there wasn't
important work
to be done here.

At your annual
MS fundraiser.

That is one half of my agenda.

And the other half?

You.

l thought
this was an interview.

lt was.
Now it's an offer.

Help me launch
a South American fleet

of my mobile
medical clinics, Jill.

[CHUCKLES]

Just like that?

You've improved a hospital,
founded a community clinic,

and the worst thing
l've heard about you

is that you got drunk
one night recently

and woke up with a tattoo?

lt's just a little...
A flower.

Shoulder. l know.

You do do your homework.

And l'm sorry.
l didn't mean
to sound skeptical.

Well, l didn't say
there wasn't a catch.

l need you to start Monday.

That's a pretty catchy catch.

Yeah, you'll be in D.C.
for a two-week orientation,

then Montevideo
for six months.

Montevideo?

Southernmost capital city
in the Americas

and home of the
world's longest carnaval.
You'll love it.

Well, l'll have
to think about that.

And l'll have to
look over this agreement.

l'm sure your lawyer
will find it more
than reasonable.

And l have to
get a lawyer.

Here.

[CLEARlNG THROAT]

Well, l was gonna
walk you through it myself.

Unfortunately, um,
my vision just
became blurry.

lt happens
every now and then.

Can l contact
your doctor for you?

The one l trust the most
is in Tokyo at the moment.

Well, the one l trust
the most is much closer.

l don't understand.

Which part?

What just happened?

lt didn't go
your way, Dad...

Our way.

Didn't Sid
make a good case in there?

Not good enough, apparently.

All right,
what about an appeal?

l don't think
an appeal's gonna...

No, no, no, l got
to figure out
my next move.

Dad, look at me.

What?

There are no moves
left to make.

ln 48 hours,

you're going to prison.

Can you tell me
a little bit about
what you're experiencing?

lt's a flare-up
of my relapsing-remitting
course of MS,

blurry vision,
weakness,
numbness in the limbs.

l self-administer
44 micrograms of
interferon subcutaneously

three times a week.

Um, l also get achy joints,
and l'm a little hungry.

[CHUCKLES]

l guess you can tell me
a lot about what
you're experiencing.

l was diagnosed as a sophomore
at the University
of New Mexico.

l've lived with it a while.

MS diagnosis in college,

that's not easy.

Yeah, l wanted
to drop out,

but l also wanted to become
the first college graduate
in my family.

So you stuck it out.

Yeah.

Prescribe her
100 milligram PO, BlD,

and schedule a follow-up
in two weeks.

Done.

And done.

And...

Done.

Yeah. That is it
for all old business.

Thanks for
a great summer, Divya.

We couldn't have done it
without you.

Okay.

Okay.
Good.

Okay.

HANK: Okay.
EVAN: All right.

So moving on
to new business.

Yep, yep, yep.
What do you got, bro?

Well, first thing
on the post-Divya agenda...

ALL: Surprise!

[SlGHS]

That was cruel!

[LAUGHlNG]

But still
kind of awesome.

Totally awesome.
Yeah.

JlLL: Evan wrote the script.

DlVYA: And designed the cake.

And, uh, Evan has got
one more surprise for you.

While Hank stays here
and holds down the fort,

l will be representing HankMed
at your wedding.

Shut up!

[LAUGHS]

l can't believe l'm so happy
about this, but l am.

Paige is gonna be my plus-one,

and we will both have
the sea bass, please.

Thank you, guys.

Really, for... [CHUCKLES]

For all of this.

Divya, you may have seen
your last patient
of the summer,

but you will always,
always be a part of HankMed.

Group hug right now,
Golden Girls style.

Do it. Let's do this.
Come on.

Hey.

HANK: Dad.

EVAN: Pop?

l'm worried about him.

Me, too.
ls he gonna be okay?

Yeah, he'll get better.

ln prison?

A prison without fences.

lt's got dormitory housing,

a computer library
and shuffleboard.

l just don't want to
see him waste his
final hours of freedom

feeling sorry for himself,
you know?

l should go talk to him.

lsn't prison
punishment enough?

[LAUGHS]

l'm gonna miss you.

So what do you
think about Ben?

Pretty remarkable.
Manages to do well and
do good at the same time,

takes charge of
his own health,

and he's a role model
for people with
a very tough condition.

l'm not impressed.

Yeah, his motto
is so simple,
yet so powerful.

''You are not your disease.''

Yeah, he's
a very inspiring guy.

Which is probably
why my board

seems so willing to
give me a six-months
leave on short notice.

They're trying
to score points with him

and his well-endowed
foundation.

So l guess
the question is...

What do you think of Ben?

l think he's a unique guy

offering me
a unique opportunity.

Okay, so why
are you having doubts?

Well, l worry
about who's gonna
run our clinic.

Don't.

l'm happy to clinic-sit
for you while you're away.

How short's the notice?

Huh?

You said ''short notice.''

How short?

l'd leave in three days.

Oh!

That is short.

Yeah.

[TANGO MUSlC PLAYlNG]

The woman
must demand the passion,

and the man must
create it, especially
for a strong woman.

DlVYA: Thank you, Niko.

Listen to the music.

You must burn
in her fire.

Prove yourself, Raj.

Burn in her fire?

That's right.

And prove yourself.

[COUGHlNG]

[CLEARS THROAT]

Are you okay?

l'm fine. l'm fine.

You do feel a little warm.

Yes, from burning
in your fire.

[SlGHS]
Or from coming
down with a fever.

Life is fever.
Love is fever.

[COUGHlNG]

Maybe Niko's right.

You tried to tell me
what you needed.

l didn't listen.

Raj, you shouldn't live
without passion either.

Tell that to your father.

He works me to within
an inch of my life
six days a week.

Doesn't leave much time
or energy for passion.

Well, that beats
his plan for me...

For us.

Wedding, babies,
more babies.

Yes,

that plan.

l guess we're fated to it.

Fate and obligation
are two very
different things, Raj.

Nicely done.

Now you are
dancing the tango.

[COUGHlNG]

Okay, Mr. Life ls Fever.

l need to examine you,
listen to your lungs.

l assure you it's nothing.

l must have caught
a cold from Olga,
my new protégé in the Ukraine.

When were you with her?

Two days ago in Kiev.

But now l am here, and l'm
ready to begin my vacation,

as soon as l've
taught you both
how to dance properly.

Your health
is more important.

lf l can tango,
l'm healthy.

And if you can't tango,
l will be sick.

Hey.
So how'd it go with Dad?

Um, to be honest,

l thought l spoke
with great wisdom
and eloquence.

l'm sure it was
the Gettysburg Address

of pre-incarceration
pep talks.

And?

l don't think
he heard a word of it.

lf he did,
he didn't let on.

He was just
staring at the wall
the whole time.

Don't worry, Ev.
He'll be fine.

Yeah. Yeah.

Hank?

l have a confession.

No. No.
Don't have a confession.

Why must you always
have a confession?

[GROANS] Okay. All right.

Like a Band-Aid,
let's go.

So after Dad got out
of the hospital...

Mmm-hmm.

...Boris approached me.
Okay.

And he offered
to send Dad

on an all-expenses-paid
vacation.

And now that Dad
could actually use the help,

we're dead to Boris.

You're pissed
l didn't tell you.

No.

l'm glad you
didn't tell Dad.

What? Why?

l don't want to see Dad
go to prison,

but he's going.

He can pay for his mistakes
and then start a new life.

Not a life in hiding
or on the run,

never being able
to see his family again.

So you think
l did the right thing?

By not presenting him with an
irresistible temptation?

Yeah, Ev, l do.

Good morning, kiddos.

Hey.

Pop, what's going on?

Evan convinced me
to stop sitting around and
feeling sorry for myself.

Gettysburg, anyone?

Good call, Dad.
Yeah.

So what are you gonna do?

l'm gonna hit
the sandwich shop.

Then maybe some golf
with me and Paige later?

All right, l'll tell you what,
l'll meet you in one hour.

Awesome. Dad. Hank?

l got to see a patient
before his fundraiser starts,

and then l'll meet you guys
as soon as l can.

Awesome.

l'll go set it up.
l'm gonna call Paige.

Dad, l want you to know
how proud of you l am
for going through with this.

[SCOFFlNG]
You're proud of me
for going to prison?

No, l'm proud of you
for taking responsibility.

Well, the credit
goes to my boys.

You know, when
l'm on my own,
Hank, l'm weak.

When you boys
are there for me,

somehow l find the strength
to do the right thing.

l'm really happy
to hear that.

Enjoy your
smoked ham and brie.

l will see you
on the links.

You bet.

[SPEAKlNG SPANlSH]

Excuse me.
Am l interrupting?

Yes, you are.
No, you are not.

l was just about to leave.

No, Marisa...

l understand
how you feel about this.

Perfecto. Now call me
when you respect
how l feel about it.

l will be in Manhattan
until then.

No, Marisa...

Boris, uh, l'm here because...

Yes, once again,

l know exactly why
you're here, Mr. Lawson.

Of course you do.

You know,
it's a very generous offer.

You're taking
an enormous risk for me.

l'm not doing it for you.

Well, who are you
doing it for?

For those who would be
better off in your absence.

You're doing it for them.

When do you
turn yourself in
to the federal marshals?

My boys are taking me
at 6:00.

My driver can
pick you up at 5:00.

[SlNGlNG MELLOW BALLAD]

Dr. Lawson.
Good to see you,
Mr. Chairman.

Hey. John Legend.
That's crazy.

l know. He's amazing.

Hey, so, um...

l'm taking the job.

Oh. Okay, great.

Yeah.
Congrats.

Thank you.
Thank you.

lt was a really
tough decision,

but l ultimately
realized that...

RlCHARDS: Hi, there.

l'd like to, uh, talk
to you both,

but, um, l should
probably start with Hank.

Of course. Sure.

Please let me know
if there's anything
l can do to help.

What's going on?

My leg weakness is increasing,

even with that
high dose of steroids.

Um, okay,
well, there's literature

on the benefits
of plasmapheresis

when the steroids
begin to fail.

l will consult the specialist
at Hamptons Heritage.

l always knew
it was a progressive disease,

and l've always
been prepared for this.

l just hoped it wouldn't
happen this soon

and certainly not right before
l'm supposed to go onstage

in front of 200 people

and tell them
not to be afraid of MS.

Well, Ben,
you don't look scared to me,
not even a little bit.

And those 200 people,
well, they still need
to hear it.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Are you ready
to seek my center?

Mmm, if l'm not too busy
chasing my desire.

[CHUCKLES]

We're not gonna be ready
in time for the wedding,
are we?

lt'll be like everything else
in our relationship.

We'll fake it.

[RlNGlNG DOORBELL]

[NlKO COUGHlNG]

How long have you
been like this?

l was coughing all night.

And this morning?

l couldn't get up.

What happened
when you tried?

My legs wouldn't hold me.

[COUGHS]

Here, here...

[GASPlNG]

Get my bag
from the car, please,

and on your way out,
call 91 1 .

l first hiked the Appalachian
when l was 19.

Greatest
experience of my life.

Well, hello.
Hello.

RlCHARDS: A month later
when l was diagnosed,

l remember the first thought
that went through my head,

l'd never hike again

because that's what
my disease meant to me,

sacrifice, inability,

a slow decline into
a meaningless existence.

But l woke up the next day

and decided
l was not my disease.

And every summer since then,
l've done two things,

raise money for MS

and walk 100 miles
of the Appalachian.

l am not my disease.
No one is.

Tens of thousands of people

are diagnosed
with MS each year.

Uh, rude much?

Uh, l'm searching
his medical history.

Why?
RlCHARDS: Tens of thousands
of people...

Just one sec, Jill.

RlCHARDS:
...lose hope each year.

Tens of thousands of people
start that slow decline

into a meaningless existence.

[CHATTERlNG]

Hank.

Just a sec.

No, Hank,
something's not right.

People like you and me,
we have the resources

to help bring these people

out of despair

and help them proclaim,

''l am not my disease.''

Thank you.

l think he just went blind.

And l think l know why.

Are you gonna tell me
what you're thinking,

or are you
gonna make me guess?

l'm thinking
about his diagnosis.

Well, what about it?

Well, he was 19
when he got it.

Yeah, a lot of MS patients
become symptomatic
around that age.

Yeah, only a few weeks
after hiking through
the Appalachian Trail?

What are you saying?

His meds aren't working.

He has chronic joint pain,
which doesn't
line up with MS,

and l'm starting
to wonder about something.

Okay.
What's the next step?

l need your lab to run
one more test on his blood.

So how's your vision?

Uh, it's back,
though a bit blurry.

You're Jill Casey, right?

[LAUGHS]

Well, hopefully
it'll keep improving.

lt never got
that blurry before.

Yeah.

So l guess l should
speak to my neurologist

about plasmapheresis.

Actually,
l'd hold off on that.

Why?

l combed through
your medical history,

and it looks
like you were never
tested for Lyme disease.

l'm pretty sure
l was tested for everything.

They probably just ran
out of room on my chart.

Yeah. Right.

Right, but do you
specifically remember
being tested for Lyme?

What's your point,
Dr. Lawson?

You may not have MS.

That's absurd.

Maybe, but Hamptons Heritage

is running a Lyme titer,
just in case.

You think
you're the first doctor

to have a hospital
run my blood?

l think the doctors
who diagnosed you
20 years ago

may have overlooked
a disease not endemic
to New Mexico.

The Appalachian Trail,
on the other hand...

And every
specialist l've seen?

They may have simply
accepted the diagnosis
you walked in the door with

because most of the time
that's just the way it works.

l have MS. lt's a fact.

Why?
Because look at me!

l am MS!

A lot of people would be
surprised to hear that
coming from you.

Can you offer
proof of diagnosis?

Not yet, but...

Then all you can offer
is wild speculation

and false hope,

which l learned to ignore
a long time ago.

EDDlE: Great sh*t, Paige.

[PAlGE LAUGHlNG]

l'm sorry, guys.
lt was the only tee time
left in the Hamptons.

l think it's adorable.

Yeah, and you know
how much l love windmills.

l do, as a matter of fact.

Oh, excuse me.

l have to go putt through
the mouth of a giant lobster.

Enjoy.

You told her.

Told her what?

How you feel about her.

l did, actually.
Mmm-hmm.

The other night.

Turns out
she feels the same way.

About you?
Who wouldn't?

How did you know that?

The look on your face.

There's a look
that says that?

Oh-ho!
There's a look.

l'm gonna miss playing golf
with you, Dad.

Yeah, l don't think
l'm gonna miss the golf,

because l've got shuffleboard
to fall back on.

Right.

Nailed it.

But l am gonna miss
spending time

with the hottest couple
in the Hamptons.

PAlGE: No, you won't.

Tell him.

We are gonna bring
the heat to you.

You are?

Yep, we're already
planning our first trip
down to Coleman, Florida.

But don't worry, Eddie.
We'll let Hank
and your shmoopy tag along.

Yeah, shmoopy can come.

You know, whether
you come to visit or not,

l can't tell you how much
the thought means to me.

[PHONE BEEPlNG]
Dad...

And l'm so grateful

for the time we get to
spend together right now.

You have a problem?
ls that Hank?

Yeah. Yeah.
He had an emergency,

so he'll meet us
at Newberg's, all right?

But he'll be there
by the time you
need to ship out.

Your clinical diagnosis
is pneumonia,

probably bacterial.

Or you admitted me
because you couldn't face
your final lesson.

Your doctors here
will examine your sputum
and continue antibiotics.

And all l can do
is lie here.

No, no.
You can contact Olga.

lt's likely that she
has pneumonia as well,

and she should get treatment
wherever she is.

l will call her right away.

Divya,

l felt indebted to you
after you fixed my toe.

Now you rescued me from this.

Well, l guess
l was fated to.

l wish you two
the very best.

Now, please, go practice.

[CHUCKLES]

So he'll be okay?

Well, now that he's here,
he should be.

You were right
about his coughing.

What did you assume?

That you were simply
suffering separation anxiety
from your job.

Well, they are not
mutually exclusive.

My point is l'm impressed.

l hospitalized
a man with a cough.

l'd never seen you
in action before.

Taking control,
making decisions,

in your element.

Well, l love what l do.

l could tell.

And l see just how much
you're giving up

for us.

Well, l guess we both
have a lot to learn.

Starting with the tango.

[CAR APPROACHlNG]

HANK: That's Boris' car.

EDDlE: l wasn't sure
you were gonna make it.

l'm sorry
l wasn't here sooner,

but l'm here now.

And so am l.

We're both here

with you, for you.

Whether that really
does make the difference,

well, that's for you
to decide.

You sure you don't want
to be there for me
on a tropical island?

What? l'm kidding.

l was just checking.

Let's catch a plane.

l can't wait.

Here you go, tiger.
Buckle up.

Thank you.

What's this?

Proof of diagnosis.

My Lyme titers are elevated.

Look, take your time
processing all this.

l wonder when exactly
l started living in ignorance
of my own advice,

when l let MS become
not just my disease,

but my identity.

l know this is a shock, Ben,
but it's also a reprieve.

Your prognosis
just took a turn
for the better.

Lyme disease can be treatable.

ln fact, there's a sh*t you
could be symptom-free after...

A couple of months
of ceftriaxone.

l've been
doing some homework.

Something tells me
you're gonna get to know
Lyme disease

every bit as much
as you did MS.

Dude, do you really need
to take all that?

l'm prepared
for every contingency.

Oh, okay, good.

Except for my girlfriend
being late.

You don't take off
for six hours.

l know. l want
to take full advantage

of the business-class lounge.

They've got hot towels, man,
and free lnternet.

Mmm. Thank God for airports.

Oh, and don't forget,
Dad's gonna call at some point
in the next 24 hours,

after he gets processed.

You know how l'll remember?
My phone'll ring,
so that'll help.

But thank you.

Can you believe
Dad's in prison?

l know.

lt's definitely surreal.

Yeah.

l'm just glad
he made the right decision.

He did that
because of you, you know.

You always understood him
better than anyone.

You knew all his tricks.

You're the one
who was right about him,

from the day he
got out here,

about giving him
a second chance.

Maybe it doesn't matter
who was right
about the man he used to be.

He's a better man now.

Amen to that, brother.

Dude.
EVAN: Hey.

You're such a diva.

All right, guys, l guess
l don't need all this stuff.

Yeah.
Actually, you might.

What's that supposed to mean?

l had a crazy thought.
Evan's favorite kind.

What if we made
a few quick stops
on the way back from London?

Quick stops where?

l don't know,
Paris, Rome, Athens.

Shut up.
Yeah.

That sounds amazing.

That sounds
ridiculously amazing.

But l can't.
Why not?

Yeah, why not?

'Cause l... HankMed...
l can't go AWOL right now.

We're already
short a Divya.

Uh, Paige,
will you excuse us a sec?

Just one sec.
Could we?

Hold on. One sec.
Yeah.

Uh, dude,
what are you doing?

What? l can't just
leave you high and dry.

l'll be low and wet
till you get back, trust me.

The summer's over.
Business is slowing down.

This is the opportunity
of a lifetime, man,

especially of your lifetime.

Take it.

Please.

Wow.
You really mean it.

lf you don't go with her,
l will.

[CHUCKLES]

l'm about to leave
on my dream vacation

from my dream job
with my dream girl.

Thank you, bro.

Evan?

Thank you.

The birthplace of HankMed.

l never took you
for the nostalgic type.

l couldn't think
of a better place

to thank you for your vision.

lt was hardly a vision.

Well, your projections
were convincing.

Well, they were based
on, uh, creative math.

l know.

[LAUGHS]

l wanted to thank you, too,
for believing in me,

betting on me.

lt paid off, big-time.

The keys to
the HankMed mobile?

You'll look after it for me?

[SlGHS]

Selling it
was harder than l expected.

The market for an SUV
full of medical supplies
is limited?

Extremely limited.

Well, l'm pretty attached
to my current vehicle,

but l'll keep yours safe.

Maybe drive it
to a follow-up
from time to time.

Please don't forget
to follow up with Niko.

l don't know.
Something's bothering me

about the timeline
of his illness.

Divya...

They should test
for strep pneumonia.

l mean, maybe even
Legionnaire's.

Divya.
Yeah?

This table does
funny things to you.

lt's gonna be
an adjustment, huh?

l've just got
to listen to the music.

Uh, what music?

lt is the first rule
of tango,

listen to the music.

Any second
it can change on you.

You have to be
ready to pivot

and move in an
entirely new direction.

Best of luck
in your new direction.

l know it'll take you
to amazing places.

So how are you gonna keep
yourself busy?

Well, there's the clinic.

And, apparently,
not everyone out here

jumps ship after Labor Day.

[SlGHS]

Yeah, l can't believe
the summer's over.

l can't believe
you're leaving the Hamptons.

l know.

There's a first time
for everything.

Yeah, just
when we were starting...

Yeah.

Let's not focus on that.

lt's too painful for you.

l get it. lt's cool.

No, l'll miss you.

A lot.

But l don't want to end
our last day together
talking about that.

l just want to enjoy
being here.

With you.

Right now.

l love that idea.

Oh, l'm glad
l didn't miss you guys.

So Jill's still coming?
Good.

What, you thought
she got cold feet?

lt's a big job.
l've been left standing
at the heliport before.

Anyway, l'm glad
you made it also.

l want to thank you
for everything,

starting with the fact
that l have no achy joints

for the first time
since l can remember.

l am so happy
to hear that, Ben.

You know, l'm always looking
for great doctors, too.

You know any?

[CHUCKLES]

Seriously,
if you get bored here
and want to see the world...

Well, l appreciate the offer,
but l'm still getting
to know the Hamptons.

[CELL PHONE RlNGlNG]

This is Hank.

[CELL PHONE RlNGlNG]

Didn't we say
our goodbyes already?

HANK: Are there
a lot ofpeople around you?

What do you mean
are there a lot of
people around?

lt's an airport.

Divya, Niko doesn't have
a community-acquired
pneumonia.

He has an infection

caused by Yersinia pestis.

Everything okay?

Are you or Raj symptomatic?

No. No symptoms so far, no.

You know you can't get
on that plane, right?

l understand.

l assume that
you have notified the CDC?

[SlREN WAlLlNG]

Never mind.

l will keep you posted.

No need. l'll get there
as soon as l can.

Divya, what's going on?

We are going
into quarantine.

Quarantine? Why?

Because we need
to make sure

that we didn't catch
what Niko has.

Hi. l'm Divya Katdare.

Thank you, ma'am.

Pneumonia?

The plague.

The plague,
in the 21st century?

Pneumonic plague,
to be specific.

That still sounds pretty bad.

ls it deadly?

Only if left untreated.

So what happens now?

Well, they'll, um...

They'll get us
prophylactic antibiotics.

And they'll monitor us.

For how long?

[EXHALES]

At least a week,

longer if we develop symptoms.

We'll have to postpone
the wedding.

Raj...

We have to cancel
the wedding.

Cancel?

What are you saying?

l'm saying
that it's the plague.

Did you need the locusts
and the hail as well?

Look,

l'm sorry, but l can't
go through with this.

The universe has sent me
one message too many.

What happened
to our obligation?

lgnoring my obligation
will be hard.

But ignoring my fate
would be harder.

But ignoring my fate
would be harder.
