Yours.

Carlos is about to receive

- For what?
- My family's disease.

[CHUCKLES]

I'm surprised you could get off early.

Yeah, well, I've been
working late all week.

If I can't help my wife get
ready for a dinner party,

what kind of husband am I?

The kind who is also
trying to be a good boss?

I'm actually nailing it
in the boss department.

Everything hospital-wise
is running smoothly.

[TYPING ON PHONE]

[MESSAGE SENDS]

I'm all yours.

Two full-time jobs and you
still have time for us.

How are you pulling this off?

To be honest, I-I-I've
been ignoring HankMed.

- Oh.
- A lot.

Yeah, I just can't figure
out how to juggle it all.

Okay, so it's two out of three.

That's not bad.

Yeah, yeah, two out of
three I can handle.

As long as you rotate which two

are getting your attention, you're fine.

But that would mean every few days,

the family man would be the odd man out.

How do you feel about that?

As long as it's only every few days,

I can live with that.

Me too. I hope.

[SENTIMENTAL MUSIC]

All right, let's buy some lamb chops.

Okay, I'm so excited
to see Raj and Divya.

Oh, my God. You can
keep a secret, right?

- Yeah.
- You swear to God?

- Yeah.
- All right.

Don't ever tell anyone I told
you this, including her.

They're flying you to
Manhattan for the surgery.

Your finger's no worse for the wear,

and thankfully, you're still in

the time frame for replantation.

Is it too late to attach
bolt cutters instead?

You'll also be given supportive therapy

for the metal fume fever,

and your effusions of
the lungs and the chest

will clear in a few days
with the right medication.

- Stop for a sec.
- Mm-hmm.

Never thought I'd get sick
from cutting through metal.

Not that I am one to endorse
breaking and entering,

but if you use a respirator,
this won't happen again.

And the mask, it's necessary.

Eh, kinda ruins my
impossibly dashing image.

- Really, Win?
- Kidding, I'm kidding.

I'll... I'll wear the mask.

Divya, thank you.

My white whale lives
to fight another day,

but so do I.

And I owe you one.

You take care of yourself.

You think they'll let me fly the
helicopter back to the city?

Not with nine fingers.

I could fly with nine.

Could fly with eight fingers.

- Bye.
- Could fly with my feet.

- Bye.
- Okay, bye.

[UPBEAT MUSIC]

So, I am 100% certain that
a finger will not float,

but I'm glancing into the water,

so he won't freak out, and there it is.

Like, right in front of me.

- The finger?
- Mm-hmm.

- Just floating in the water?
- Yeah.

Oh, my God. If I ever lose a finger...

- Make sure it's in open water.
- Just not rapids.

Or quicksand. Avoid quicksand.

Yes, quicksand would be bad.

You know, modern medicine
today, it's amazing.

It's given us so many options

that were unthinkable before.

Mm-hmm.

So, you would agree, Raj?

Absolutely. My life's
been totally changed.

That arthroscopic knee surgery saved me.

- Oh, you had that?
- Yeah.

Yeah, and look at all the advances

in sports surgeries, too.

Tommy John has totally
transformed the MLB.

- Totally.
- What about the twins?

Are the twins into baseball yet, Raj?

Well, I hate to brag,
but even at age two,

Cal rolls a mean curve ball.

Aw, they're so adorable,
and even-tempered.

Have they always been so easy?

- Well...
- Actually, no.

But Divya and I have a pact

not to talk endlessly about our kids.

- It can get tiresome.
- I like that pact.

Oh, no, but I love to hear about kids,

and where they came from.

Yes, Raj, why don't you tell us

how Bea and Cal began?

Um, that could get a
little personal, now.

Not at all.

Unless you believe intimacy
belongs in the Petri dish.

Oh, your kids are the result of...

- IVF.
- IVF.

What was it like?

Well, if you really want
to hear about it...

Yeah, why don't you
tell us all about it?

Well, all of it may not be fitting

for the end of such a lovely meal.

It's not really something
a man can be proud of.

Never have I felt less essential.

Really? How come?

Where to begin?

The sticky old-school magazines
in the deposit room?

The nurse actually called
it "the deposit room."

Oh, my God, I'm having PTSD
from the time I donated sperm.

There was no way I was gonna

touch that remote, I'll tell you.

Luckily,

that short-lived moment led to...

Months of Karen crazed on hormones!

Suddenly I was shacked up
with a category 5 cyclone.

- I felt hormonal.
- Yeah, well, yeah...

One night, we'd run
out of whipped cream,

her best stabilizer, and I
was in a race against time

with the mixer on ten,

and I got the spoon twisted
up in the blades...

- That's funny.
- And I went outside

and howled at the moon.

Not my finest hour.

It may, in fact, well have been
the beginning of the end for us.

Yeah, well, it's over now, and, uh,

you got two great kids out
of the bargain, so...

And I couldn't love them more.

Though sometimes I still
do hold it against them.

- Wow, that's rough, man.
- I'm not proud of it.

Yeah, does anyone want any more coffee?

No, I think it's late. We have to go.

Is it? I mean, it's not even...

Why don't you take some pie with you?

I believe I owe the success
of this venture to you, Hank.

Oh, it was a team effort.

I would not have conceived
of the improvised implant.

Well, med school pranks
can still be useful.

It fits just below the epidermal layer.

How long before someone realizes
it's my blood, not yours?

We'll see.

Their next move could tip their hand.

Do you know who it is?

Unfortunately, at this moment,

I can imagine only one possibility.

And you won't tell me.

Because you think I can't be trusted

with that information?

No, because I pray that I'm wrong.

- Azul.
- Mm-hmm.

- Amarillo.LA BURGER - Uh-huh.

Y uno amarillo asi...

Oh! Aww.

Uno, dos...

BOTH: Tres, quatro!

[BOTH SPEAKING SPANISH]

It's wonderful to see
Carlos is doing so well.

The pediatrician is quite optimistic.

They've found an effective
dose with no side effects.

Your family's disease may
finally be under control.

Well, my generation may
well be the last, Hank.

That is something I dared not
HOPE FOR: a future for my son.

And his father.

Thank you, Hank.

I'm happy I could help.

Look at that.

Perhaps this city has it right, Hank.

Shed the past, move on.

- You sound hopeful.
- Ah.

A new sensation for me.

I shall attempt to get used to it.

Now that my family can look forward,

I appreciate the restless
momentum of Hong Kong.

I dare say, I feel a part of it.

Sounds like you're ready
for a night on the town.

Will you join us?

I'd love to, but tonight I have

my own forward momentum to ensure.

Oh.

I had her background-checked.

She is as she appears.

I'm going to pretend
you didn't say that.

Papa! Mira!

Carlitos.

Es un mono azul.

Mono.

- That was a great dinner.
- Yeah.

You know what? We should hang
out with those guys more often.

Absolutely.

- I've always liked Raj.
- Me, too.

I was kind of surprised
by his IVF rant, though.

Well, I think he was joking.

I mean, we did k*ll two bottles of red.

No, he just sounded a little insecure.

Us guys can have such fragile egos.

Really? About IVF?

Yeah.

It's just one more viable
way of making a baby.

Totally.

It's all about when you're ready.

Exactly.

Yeah.

You know...

I think I might be ready.

Well, that's awesome.

- Are you ready?
- Oh, I've been ready

for a couple of months now.

You know, with low motility,
it's recommended, right?

Why didn't you say something?

Because, you're the one
who's gonna have to

take all the dr*gs and
have the procedures.

I couldn't... push that on you.

You know, this one had to be your call.

That is so considerate.

[SENTIMENTAL MUSIC]

Thank you for letting me
come to this on my own.

I should never sell you short.

What does that mean?

Nothing.

It means I love you.

I am gonna ask Raj to lunch,

see if I can make him feel
better about himself.

That is a great idea.

Very thoughtful.

Why don't you text him?

And I will let Divya know what
a perfect evening we had.

Okay.

I still can't believe we met
halfway around the world,

and we'll practically be
living next to one another

in a month.

You can't believe it?

I haven't even started packing yet.

Well, once you're settled in,

I'd love to show you
around the Hamptons.

No maps needed.

Look, Hank, like I said,

my work comes first.

- Oh.
- I mean, this has been great.

And you're great. Ah, it's just...

the research environment at NYU
is just incredibly competitive.

And you won't have time to play hooky.

Not if I want to stay ahead.

Well, thanks for teaching me how.

Once my workload's settled,

I could probably steal a
few hours here and there.

I could meet you halfway.

I don't think so.

I'm looking for something
that goes beyond

a few hours here and
there, adds up to months,

hopefully years, and
then, well, forever.

You're a good guy.

I hope you find what you're looking for.

Thank you.

And we'll always have Hong Kong.

Yeah, well,
