03x13 - My Back to the Future

[bunniefuu]

Previously on Royal Pains...

When are you going back to Uruguay?

I am going to tell the hospital tomorrow

and help them find and train
a replacement.

My parents feel entitled to restitution.

My parents cut me off, Raj.

I can't even afford the gratuity on this.

Next date, no helmets.

There's not going to be a next date.

I have a fully fleshed-out business plan.

Is this about you wanting
a bigger business?

Or is this about you wanting

to make this a bigger business for Paige?

The anti-DNA test came back
positive for lupus.

In your profession,
positive is a negative.

Jack, we can fight this together.

Okay, well, we'll fight it
together later.

I've got a lesson.

Jack's proteins are plus-three.

His lupus is more advanced
than we thought.

It's attacking his kidneys.

[Giggles]

Oh. [Clears throat]

At this time,

I would like to ask the immediate family

and close friends to please come forward

to join in the blessing

known as true loving kindness.

Thank you.

This demonstrates our continuing concern

for the deceased

as we assure their final journey
will be complete.

[Groans]

You shouldn't be working
with your bad back.

Aye. Aye-yi-yi.

- So, Henry...
- Yeah?

If you move any slower,

some people are gonna show up

and they're gonna start
harvesting your organs.

Okay, you don't have to be here.

Why are you here?

Because I'm trying to get you to realize

that we have a very busy schedule

for the next few days,

and Divya alone can't cover
all of our patients.

I'm fine, okay? I'm fine.

- You're fine?
- Yeah.

This is fine?

Right.

What can I do to make you go away?

Just admit that we need to hire a B.U.D.

- A what?
- Backup doc.

I'm narrowing down the candidates.

Just... just let me proceed.

It's not necessary. Okay?

You're overreacting.
[Groans]

[Screams]

Ow, ow!

[Grunting]

All right, you can proceed.

But first, how about giving me a hand?

So what did the auction house say?

They seem interested.

I have an appointment
later on this afternoon.

That's great.
Do you want me to go with you?

You don't mind?

Not at all.

I'm actually kind of curious

to see what it's worth.

[Clears throat]

Hmm.

Hello, Paul.

Mm, perfect.

It's full-bodied, piquant,

- with just a hint of...
- What are you doing here?

I am Hank for the day... or two.

So you just happened to send your resume

to where Divya works.

I'm sorry.

You were probably just talking to her.

So you just happened to send
your resume to where I work?

Well, a headhunter told me
that Evan was looking,

and yeah, it didn't hurt
that I knew you worked here.

I thought it would be fun.

And that's it?

What else is there?

Unless I mispronounced "piquant."

I've heard it two different ways.

Okay, so if you guys are done

with awkward social hour,
do you mind if we...

While Hank is moving in slow motion,

Dr. Van d*ke will be filling in
for him for the next few days.

Here are the schedules.

Patients with asterisks
next to their names

are potential retainer clients.

Any questions? No?

Good. Staff meeting adjourned...

in record time.

All right, ladies, do us proud.

Great.

You ready?

Wait, isn't Divya coming with me?

No, no, she's got her own patients.

I'm coming with you because
I have to show you the ropes.

It's gonna be awesome.

Okay.

You're the boss.

Hmm.

Hi.

What happened to you?

I woke up yesterday with a bad back.

Well, have you been doing
anything differently lately?

Yeah, I took golf lessons.

Oh, yeah, well, see, that's what happens

when you swing like a girl.

No offense.

Mm. Okay, that's not gonna work.

So what are we doing?

So the plan today

is to sit down with your nephrologist

and discuss your treatment options,

given that your kidney biopsy

confirmed lupus nephritis.

Any questions before we go in?

Yeah, you ever watch that '80s sitcom,

"U.F.O. My Gosh!" ?

About the alien girl who stayed

with the perfect American family

who beamed a weekly life lesson
back to her home planet

at the end of every episode,

whose catchphrase was,

"I'm outta here!" ?

- That's the one.
- Never heard of it. Why?

[Laughs]

Okay, I'm, like, only 87% sure

that my nephrologist, Dr. Nina Greene,

is actually Nina De Crinis, the actress

- that played the little girl.
- Come on.

Check it out.

All: Thank you, Vicky. Thank you.

I'm outta here!

Jack, we're ready for you.

You must be Dr. Lawson.

I'm Nina Greene.

Nice to meet you.

I've heard a lot about you.

It's mutual.

All right. Right this way.

- That's not her.
- That's definitely her.

- No, it's not.
- Yes, it is.

Shut up. Ow.

Is this a company car?

No. No, it's my car.

What, you got a problem
with minivans, man?

No, no, I think they're great

if you're a soccer mom

and if your favorite movie
is "Eat, Pray, Love"

and you like listening to Coldplay.

Well, she drives like a cloud.

Good, good.

That'll make it more comfortable

while you're dropping off orange slices

and water bottles for the kids.

[Scoffs]

Just a FYI, you don't need the coat.

Um, Hank keeps things pretty casual.

Just... it's more personal.

His patients don't even call him doctor.

That's great for Hank,

but I think that someone in need

of medical attention
doesn't want a guy to come in

and say, "hi, I'm Paul."

So what's the emergency?

It's a mole check.

Good God, man.

What are we doing standing here?

So, Edie, I don't see anything here

that you need to alert
your dermatologist about.

And I've uploaded your file,
so he's got a record.

Wow, that's great.
Thank you, Dr. Van d*ke.

Mm, "doctor."

So do you and your sister spend
a lot of time in the sun?

Actually, Laura's not my sister.

She's my stepmother.

That's my sister Cecilia.

And yeah, we do spend
a lot of time in the sun.

I know. Bad, right?

No, no, I think you guys
should keep tanning.

My dermatology colleagues
have mortgages to pay,

and they make a lot of money
cutting growths

off of people's faces and
repairing them with skin grafts.

Maybe you should do
a mole check on my sister too.

Just curious. How many people
are in the family?

All together, five.

You know, you might save
a little bit of money

if you become a Hankmed retainer client

rather than pay for each visit.

Why don't you talk
to our CFO, Mr. Lawson,

while I examine Cecilia?

Thanks.

Hi.

It's very unusual to find
a complete service for 12

in such good condition.

Come with me.

It's been in my family

for generations.

As far as I know, it's never been used.

If I can physically inspect it
to guarantee

its authenticity and condition,

I'm pretty sure I have a buyer

that would pay a tidy sum for it.

How tidy?

Here is what a similar set
went for last year

at auction.

When do you think you could bring it in?

Tomorrow. She'll bring it tomorrow.

How's noon?

Noon is great.

How's noon?

Let's see.

Dude.

That was awesome.

You were awesome.

You got them to sign a retainer.

They had an asterisk.

That's right. That's right. They did.

- They did.
- That's my job.

You are running a business here, right?

Yes! Exactly.

How am I the only one
who understands this?

See, I assumed

when you came along
that that was the plan.

Isn't that what you and Hank do?

Well...

[sighs]

You like cars, huh?

I like my car.

You want to drive tomorrow?

That's a great idea.

We'd be able to see
twice as many patients.

What's next?

Triplets. They need physicals
for summer camp.

Are they a retainer client?

- No.
- Well, they will be.

Can I just say something?

You are the Yin to my Yang.

Like, seriously, you're the salt
to my pepper.

You... you're...

If you say I complete you,
I'm out of here.

I would never say that. Come on.

But you do.

[Laughs]

Divya, how great is this?

Too bad you didn't do it sooner.

Yeah, I guess.

Oh, please tell me that you're not having

second thoughts about selling your china.

I'm not.

I just regret that no one in my family

ever used it.

We weren't allowed to.

What's sad is I forgot I even had it

until I moved.

Well you know what, by noon tomorrow,

you'll have a boatload of cash.

Thank you, Floyd.

Uh, excuse me, this is a 20.

Parking's only $5.

Why don't you keep the change?

Wow.

Thank you.

Okay, so your current
classification of lupus

is class IV.

There are a number
of different treatment options.

Yeah, the conventional
treatment is steroids

and cyclophosphamide.

That could give you years
before you even have

to think about dialysis.

Yeah, on the other hand,

since you've never had
any treatment before,

you are a perfect candidate
for a clinical trial.

Is it a double blind?

Yes.

Okay, okay, which means
he could get a placebo.

A placebo, right?

Come on, doc. Look at this guy.

Can you... can you give him, like,
something for his pain?

I'm fine. I'm fine.

[Mocking] "I'm fine. I'm fine."

Jack. [Clears throat]

Well, if you want a sh*t of valium later,

relief is just 2 milligrams away.

Um, I'm good, everyone. So where were we?

Clinical trials.

There is an experimental drug
called nephrostatin,

and it's showing very good results

in prolonging kidney function.

What are the side effects?

Well, they're not too dissimilar

from traditional therapy.

But as I said before,
it's a double blind trial.

If he gets a placebo,
that means he wouldn't receive

any treatment for at least the
first six months of the trial.

I mean, I think it's better
to be on something

rather than risk the possibility
of being on nothing.

What is it?

You're her, aren't you?

Who? [Laughs]

Nina De Crinis,
the girl from U.F.O. My Gosh!

[Laughs] From where?

What was Tom Bosley like?

- Oh, God.
- Was he all hands?

He was probably all hands.
Was he all hands?

- Was he trying...
- Come on.

- Hmm?
- This is serious.

We can lay out your options,
but at the end of the day,

it's your decision.

So what you're saying is both have risks,

so I might as well just flip a coin.

Um, that's not exactly what we're say...

Who wants to call it?

All right. Let's do this.

Hank! Thank Heaven you're he...

You're not Hank.

Yeah, Ms. Newberg, this is Dr. Van d*ke.

He's filling in today.

And he's excellent.

Like, Harvard excellent.

But where's Hank?

His back is out.

Don't worry. I will take
very good care of you.

Very good?

Hank takes excellent care of me.

Ms. Newberg,
you said it was an emergency.

What's the emergency?

I think I'm dying.

- Hey, grandma, you made it.
- Yeah.

Look, I hope you're not here
to talk me out of this,

because I'm already at page 9
out of, oh, 400,

so there's kind of no turning back.

[Groans]

I am not here to talk you out of it.

I'm not even here as one of your doctors.

I'm here as your friend.

Oh, then as my friend,

would you sign these for me?

Real friend would.

Jack, you're not taking this seriously.

Why, because I flipped a coin
to make a decision

about something
I'm now not reading about?

Yeah.

It's risky, Panky. I get it, okay?

I get it, but...

It's how I live my life.

Oh, what do you know?

You know what, I'm listing you

as my "in case of emergency" contact.

People don't typically put
their doctor there.

That's usually for family.

Yeah?

Well, I only see my family at
Easter and Christmas.

Kind of a rule.

They live in San Diego.

I live out of a suitcase.

It's been that way
ever since I joined the tour

out of college.

Never had the urge to settle down?

Well, I did settle down.

I was married.

Yeah, married at 24,

divorced at 24 1/2.

Hey, at what age you think

people should stop using the "half"?

I'm 9 1/2... 10.

- 10.
- Hmm, okay.

By the way,

I'm not listing you
because you're my doctor.

I'm listing you because you're my friend.

You already said you were my friend.

You can't take it back.

[Dishes clatter] Careful.

My china's back there.

It's wearing a seat belt.
I'm pretty sure it's safe.

Come on.

Almost ready.

Could you have a seat, please?

Sure.

Roll up your sleeve.

Oh, of course.

This is going to pinch a little.

Can you believe you still need
a polio sh*t to go to India?

Which reminds me,
I'm leaving for the airport

in 15 minutes.

We'll be done by then, right?

Yeah.

Perfect.

Thank you.

Mr. Mackintosh.

This red bump,

how long have you had this?

I don't know, a week or two.

It's just a mosquito bite.

Probably got it in Panama.

Do you have any duct tape?

I'm sure I do. I wouldn't know where.

I'd have to ask my handyman.

How about bacon?

What is that?

Have you ever heard of botflies?

They're the only fly that use
humans as host to its larvae.

The larvae burrow
under the skin of the host,

where they grow.

And they love breakfast meats.

No. Bacon makes a good seal.

And draws it to the surface.

It starts with a radiating
pain at the base of my spine

and then it works its way up to my neck.

Okay. Are you feeling it now?

No.

But it comes and goes almost at random.

And how long has this been happening?

Maybe a few weeks.

But it did go away when I went
to see Eddie in Florida.

Do you think it's spinal meningitis?

Probably not.

Um, has there been any change
in your daily routine?

No, except that I've
been renovating my house

because of storm damage, which
is why I rented this place.

Have you been doing
any heavy lifting, Ms. Newberg?

Did you just meet me?

That's a good point.

Go ahead, you can tell me.

It's serious, isn't it?

You know what, so far I haven't been able

to find anything wrong,
serious or otherwise,

but to be sure, let's run
a full battery of tests.

Huh. Full battery.

See?

A botfly? Seriously?

I mean, for a second there,
I felt like I was back

in El Puertito.

It was so nasty awesome.

You miss being there, don't you?

I do.

And the more I think about it,

the more I'm sure
it's where I want to be.

Divya.

Did you leave your car door open?

That's odd.

- Is that Floyd?
- Who?

The valet from yesterday.

Oh, my God, he's got my china.

- Okay, what do we do?
- Okay, wait, wait, wait.

He's... he's getting in his car.

- Come on, come on, come on.
- Okay, okay.

So how does this work?

- We chase him.
- Okay, until what?

Until we catch him.

- Okay, then what?
- I don't know.

I've never been in hot pursuit

of stolen cups and saucers
before, but drive!

Drive. Go, go, go.

I mean, where is he going?

I don't know, but try to stay with him.

Okay, we're losing him.

Well, then g*n it, Divya. g*n it.

Go, go, go.

Ah!

[Crash]

What was that?

Slow down, slow down.

- My grandmother's China.
- I'm so sorry, Divya.

Oh, my God.

Call 911.

[Coughs] What happened?

You've been in a car accident.

Your jeep went through a fence.

An accident? I don't remember...

Do not move. My name is Divya.

I'm a physician assistant.

I'm gonna help you until the EMTs arrive.

Divya, here's the morphine
and the other supplies.

How can I help?

Talk to him. Keep him alert.

Hey, Floyd, Floyd, hey.

I need you to look at me.

How long were you following us?

How long were you following Divya?

Okay, by questions, I meant
things like, um, I don't know,

"What's your name? What year is it?"

- "Who's the president?"
- Okay, you've got your way.

I've got mine.

So how did you even know where she lives?

I got her address
out of the glove compartment

and I heard...

Heard us talking
at the valet stand, okay.

So you knew she was coming back

to the auction house today, didn't you?

Is that a fence post
through my windshield?

Stay with me.

Is that a fence post through me?

- No, no, Floyd.
- Get it out!

- Get it out!
- No! Floyd, listen to me.

There is only one rule
for this kind of injury.

Never remove the impaling object
until you get to the E.R.

I know that it seems
counterintuitive, okay?

But trust me.

Hey, Floyd, try and focus on your family.

- Okay?
- That's not my family.

And this isn't your car, is it?

Okay, what is the ETA on the ambulance?

I don't know. My calls kept dropping.

Maybe I should drive
until I do find service.

Okay, no, I don't think

that we have time
to wait for an ambulance.

He's looking more diaphoretic,
which means

that his blood pressure is dropping.

I think that we have to get him

to the E.R. ourselves.

Okay, how do we do that?

[Groaning softly]

[Door opens]

Hey.

- Hey.
- How are you doing?

So you will let


pool in your head, but you
won't take any medication.

- That's right.
- That's just not you.

That's just not me.

That's some good doctoring.

Hope Jack fared better than you.

So far so good.

You know, for Jack, at least.

What's that?

Now I can barely understand

what you're saying. Huh?

You're gonna make me do this.

Okay. Coming down.

Ow. You're not...

[exclaims]

Jesus.

Okay, okay, I'm fine.

I'm feeling a little better.

- Yeah, you look a lot better.
- Yeah.

Henry...

just take the dr*gs.

- I don't need meds.
- Oh, God.

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

I've been bombarded all day
with prescription confirmations

and test results. What's going on?

And why did Divya send Newberg
for an MRI?

She didn't. Dr. Van d*ke did.

Dr. Van what?

Yeah, he was also the one
who called in the tests

and the prescriptions.
I hired him as our B.U.D.

Are we talking about Dr. Paul Van d*ke?

Hamptons Heritage Van d*ke?

That's the guy. He's awesome.

Why would you hire him?

Because you told me to proceed.

Yeah, proceed meant to get

a list of candidates together
and show me.

I would then interview, review,

and approve the potential candidate.

That is so not the definition of proceed.

How'd you even manage to hire
Van d*ke in, what,

like an hour's time?

What kind of CFO would I be
if I didn't have

a contingency plan for a guy

who works with sick people all day, huh?

I would fire myself
if I didn't have a plan.

Yeah, and that I would approve!

Approve.

Henry, just relax.

[Groans] Can't.

He scored five retainers.

Our patients love him,
especially Newberg.

So you just get better
when you get better, okay?

Seriously.

Don't rush it.

Evan, Evan, come back here, young man.

I'm not done talking to you.

Let's talk upstairs.

Can't. Can't. Can't.

I found the cast cutter.

Great.

Okay, we can use it to cut the post off,

and then we're gonna pull him
out of the car.

[Saw buzzing]

Wait, wait, wait, stop, stop.

What?

Do you smell that?

It's gasoline.

It's leaking all over the place.

We can't risk any sparks.

No, we can't. Do we have a plan B?

Are you sure about this?

The morphine should help.

He's barely conscious,

so hopefully he won't register the pain.

Well, you did say never to remove

an impaled object... ever.

I know, but his vitals are crashing,

so we have no choice.

If we don't remove the pole
and cauterize the wound,

he will go into hemorrhagic shock.

On three, Jill.

Okay. One...

two, three.

[Straining]

Here's a new way to apply quikclot.

Faster. He's coming to.

Like pulling out one cork
and replacing it with another.

Exactly.

[Screams]

He's still breathing.

Okay, good. Good.

Divya, nice work.

Hank would be proud.

Let's get him to the E.R.

I'll get the car.

Oh, God. Where...

Oh, yeah.

[Groans]

[Sighs]

Okay.

[Laughs]

Relief.

Just 2 milligrams away.

[Grunts]





Ow, ow, ah.

Oh.

That's not good.

Look, I know you think this is my fault.

Ah, because it is.

It is your fault.

[Knocking]

[Knocking continues]

You k*lled Hankmed.

You happy?

I k*lled Hankmed?

What... what are you talking about?

You wouldn't let
the business grow, Henry.

You wouldn't water it.

- I...
- So it withered and it d*ed.

It d*ed, Dr. Lawson.

How could you do this, Hank?

You know how much I needed this job,

especially now that I'm broke.

[Laughter]

I can't help you out, Panky.

I don't even know what I'm doing here.

What's gonna happen
to the clinic patients?

You were their only hope, Hank.

You were their only hope.

Jill, I...

What?

Don't look at me for support.

I agree with them, Panky.

Both: Aagh!
[Gasps]

I mean, look,
I know her tests show nothing,

you know her tests show nothing,
but she doesn't know that.

- We're here, aren't we?
- Yeah.

But she's probably been
up all night worrying.

You really should have just...
you should have called her

right away, that's all.

Well, I told you, I make my phone calls

at the end of the day.

That's when I was gonna call her.

What if she has questions?

Are you serious?

I'm dead serious.

Our business is face-to-face,

being there 24/7.

It's what Hankmed's all about.

All right. Let's just do this.

That's my line.

What do you mean "nothing"?

How could it be nothing when it
happened again this morning?

See? Questions.

Well, how are you feeling?

Fine.

But when I went to get
a mani-pedi in town,

I felt it again, the radiating pain.

Okay, and are you experiencing
this pain now?

- No, but...
- Well, you should call

if anything changes.

You have our numbers.

Wait.

I'll be right back.

Hey, hey, hey.

What are you doing?

You can't just leave like that.

- She's still upset.
- It sounds psychosomatic.

There's nothing we can do here.

Yeah, okay, but we're Hankmed.

We don't walk out on our patients,

and we never leave a case unsolved.

Okay, I'm a physician,

not the mentalist.

Look, I get that concierge doctors

have to hold their patients'
hands some of the time,

but since when do they have
to carry them around?

Wait, is that how Hank hurt his back?

Oh, that's funny.

Look, you have to do something.

What would you like me to do?

Run some tests, ask some questions.

I don't know, I'm not a doctor.

No, you're not.

Hey, look.

She's not only my dad's girlfriend

and Hankmed's first official patient.

She is one of the kindest, craziest,

most generous people

you will ever have the pleasure
of knowing.

She's awesome, and she's scared.

Is it possible that Hankmed
gets too involved

- with its patients?
- Absolutely.

Yeah, is it possible that you
don't see patients as people?

Yeah.

Sure.

So now that we've got that cleared up,

I've got your busy schedule to keep.

Are you coming, boss?

Yeah, but just...

Hank would never do this.

I'm not Hank.

No, you're not.

Come on.

Hey.

Hello, Floyd.

We just wanted
to see how you were feeling.

Surprisingly good.

The emergency splenectomy I had
to have pretty much sucked,

but the doctors all say I'll be fine.

And the jell-o's not bad.

How about an apology first?

So I do hope, Floyd,
that you will not steal again.

"Steal" is such a harsh word.

And what word would you prefer?

Liberate.

I like to think of myself
as a modern day Robin Hood.

So you rob from the rich
and give to the poor?

No, I don't give to the poor.

That's the "modern day" part.

But I do only steal from those

who can afford to be stolen from.

Plus, it's all insured, right?

My china was not insured.

Well, it's not a perfect system.

Worst apology ever.

You're right.

Thank you, Divya.

Thanks for saving my life.

Better.

Could you?

Hey, before you go,

I have something for you.

After we brought Floyd to the E.R.,

I went back to the accident site

and grabbed a few of the bigger pieces.

You glued this back together for me?

Well, I had a little help.

My nephew Luke, he's great at puzzles.

And in his defense,

there were a lot of pieces missing.

[Laughter]

I'm really gonna miss you.

I'm gonna miss you too.

[Clatter]

Could you?

Both: Bye, Floyd.

A little help, please?

Are you sure this is a good idea?

Yes, taking you to see Hank
is a great idea.

I just wish I'd thought of it sooner.

Do you mind if we turn this music down?

Sure. Just don't ask me for help.

I don't know how anything
in this car works yet.

It's too high-tech.

Yeah, it's pretty high-tech. There we go.

Oh.

What is it? What's wrong?

Did you really mean

all those nice things you said
about me to Dr. Van d*ke?

Yes. Every word.

You know how much my family
adores you, come on.

Then I finally have
a man who understands me,

children who care about me,
and all at the same time.

Now I can die happy.

Ms. Newberg... Ms. Newberg,

you're not gonna die.

You're not gonna die.

Hank will make sure of that.

It's too late.

My symptoms, they're back.

They're...

By any chance, does this pain
start in your lower back

and radiate up to your neck?

Yes.

Did it begin shortly
after we left your house?

Yes.

Does the pain kind of feel like heat?

[Sobbing] Yes.

- Are you serious?
- Yup.

You've been driving around
with your seat warmers on.

And judging by how hot my neck is,

you probably... neck warmers!

So...

I'm not gonna die.

You are not gonna die.

- Oh, thank God.
- Yeah.

I am so not ready to go.

Yeah.

So, uh...

It's me. Open up.

Come on, Jack. I know you're in there.

Go away.

I'm with a woman!

[In feminine voice] I'm Brittany.

I'm here with Jack.

So thank you. Leave us alone.

Okay, open the door, Brittany.

[Feminine voice] Oh, okay.

[Clears throat, returns to normal voice]

So this is embarrassing.

For both of us.

Is that what I think it is?

It is.

Dumb door.

U.F.O. My gosh!. Where did you find this?

You don't look so good, Jack.

How are you feeling?

Oh, better now, thanks to this.

Seriously. All the five seasons?

- Score.
- Jack, have a seat.

Let me see you.

You're jaundiced,
and you're running a fever.

Anything else?

Does Dr. Greene know about this?

Nope.

You could jeopardize your health, Jack,

and the others in the trial
by not reporting this.

We need to get you to the hospital.

Whoa, Hank, Hank.

You remember when I flipped
the coin earlier

in Nina's office?

Mm-hmm.

It didn't matter
if it ended up heads or tails.

The clinical trial was always gonna win.

Why is that?

Because I heard what she said.

In my mind, it all added up

to one perfect thing... a silver b*llet,

something that would make
the lupus disappear

and I would be done with it forever.

I was going for the hole in one.

So I aimed for the pin.

And then, pfft.

I shanked it out of bounds.

I'm sorry it didn't work out.

Yeah.

Yeah, me too.

But what we need to do now

is get you out of this trial

and to the E.R. so they
can treat these symptoms.

I have a better idea.

Oh.

Heads, I'll go to the E.R.,

but tails, I stay in the trial

and you treat me here.

[Both chuckle]

You know what, Jack,

no matter what you call,
the E.R.'s gonna win.

You had a type III
hypersensitivity reaction

to the nephrostatin.

As a result, your liver
stopped functioning properly.

It's fine now, but unfortunately

it was a known risk in the trial.

But if you were gonna suffer
any adverse affects,

earlier's always better than later.

Hank was right to bring you in, Jack.

Had he not, you could have gone
into acute hepatic failure.

Blah, blah, blah, blah.

Acute hep... you know what?

You guys should come with subtitles.

Was there any good news in there?

Both: - Yeah.
- Oh.

Go ahead.

Well, the good news

is that now you can start
with traditional treatments

without any doubts or reservations.

- What were you gonna say?
- The exact same thing.

- Oh.
- "The exact same thing."

[Higher-pitched] "The exact same thing."

So cute.

You guys should go ahead

and get a room, shouldn't you?

You know what, actually,
I'm done with this one.

Take mine.

All right.
Any more questions before I go?

Yeah.

Just one, but it's important.

What kind of treatment would I get

if I lived on the planet West Anivoc?

We'll talk later.

I'm outta here.

- It's her.
- It's not her.

- It's definitely her.
- It's not.

- So her.
- That's enough.

Hey. Thought you might need

some help getting out of the car.

I told you, I'm fine.

You took the dr*gs, didn't you?

No.

Admitting you took dr*gs when you were

in pain does not make you
less of a man, Henry.

All right, I took the dr*gs.

You wuss.

Ev...

you were right to want
a contingency plan.

We need it for times like this.

I mean, having a backup doctor, a B.U.D.,

makes good business sense.

I'm happy you feel that way.

But it's not always about the money.

Who are you

and what have you done with my brother?

It's not.

It's also about the level
of care we've established.

You've established.

Dr. Van d*ke,

he's a good doctor.

But he's... he's not you.

So if I'm gonna look for another B.U.D.,

I'll have my work cut out for me.

This time we're gonna proceed together?

Evan?
