"Ultimately,

this is about legacy.

What kind of world

are we leaving behind

for our children?

What kind of world do we want to

leave behind for our children?

Isn't our goal to advance

and shape the world

before we leave it?

To advance--

to advance and shape..."

What's that, Larry?

No-- nothing, honey.

I'm-- I'm rehearsing the, uh--

my speech for the art wing

dedication tomorrow.

"My grandfather was a doctor

who arrived at Ellis Island

with only a European accent

and a dream.

That dream was to help others

by developing cutting-edge

medicines and practices.

Fortunately, in America,

that dream became a reality,

and he started

a little company called KanMed.

Now, today,

under my supervision,

KanMed has become

one of the most

influential companies

in medicine

in the world.

"My sons..."

Cut that.

"My youngest son, uh, Jacob,

is, uh, in attendance

this morning,

and I just want to take

this opportunity to, uh,

tell him, uh,

'No pressure trying to keep

the family legacy alive,

kiddo.'"

Ah, hold for laughter.

"I stand before you today

as a proud grandson,

son,

father, husband,

who carries on

my grandfather's dream."

It's gonna be a hell of a day.

Thank you.

Nice speech you gave

to yourself this morning.

About family.

The press keeps saying

you knew all along.

This isn't going away.

It's on the front page.

Just say you didn't know!

Dad, come on, get up.

Come on, Dad, wake up. Wake up.

Dad?

Dad, wake up. Dad, wake up!

Dad!

And good morrow

to you as well, sir.

Dad, I can't be late again.

Come on,

have I ever let you down?

Hey. Don't answer that.

I'm up.

- I already packed my lunch.

- All right.

Just give me a second.

- Dad, come on.

- Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Give me a second.

Yes.

Come on!

Yeah. I'm on my way.

What are you looking for?

Ah, I was just, um...

looking for my sunglasses.

They're on your head, Dad.

Oh. You put 'em there?

-No.

-Did you?

-No.

-You lying to me?

No!

You know we have to stop

at Mom's first, right?

What? Why?

Dad, I have a game today

and I need my jersey.

Did you forget?

No! Come on, I didn't forget.

I'm just messin' with you.

You're like Amnesia Man.

That's that comic book

you're always

obsessed with, right?

Yeah.

He can't remember anything.

And he's always grumpy about it.

What are we talking about?

I forgot.

- Hey, Mom.

- Hi, sweetheart.

Here you go.

Right on Michael time.

15 minutes late.

-Got any more coffee?

-No.

You look like you could use

more than a coffee.

-Everything okay?

-Ah, thank you, Allison.

Everything's fine.

Your mother called me. Again.

They want to fly Scottie

to their place this weekend?

Why are you even talking to her?

She called me, Michael.

- Why?

Because she wants

to see her grandson,

and I'm assuming would like

to hear back from her son.

-We're not doin' this now.

-Yeah.

Okay, boys, it is time to go.

'Cause I don't wanna hear

from Mr. Trumble

about Scottie being tardy again.

Will I see you

at the game tonight?

I'll be there with pom-poms.

- Bye, Mom.

- Bye, buddy.

- There you go. Fixed it.

- Why can't you

just get me a new pair?

You just got these!

They're fine now, see?

Made it work.

-I need a new pair.

-No, you want a new pair.

It's nice to want things.

- You can buy some with your chore money.

- -Come on, Mom.

What did I tell you about

if you want something?

That I have to work for it,

there are no shortcuts.

That's right.

Stanley!

Get out of the bathroom,

your sister needs to get ready.

Go-- shoes on the table, no! Go!

Mom, we're out of coffee.

When'd you start

drinking coffee?

-Like, two years ago, at 15.

-Don't get addicted.

Mom!

Stanley stunk up the bathroom!

It's too early,

don't start, you two!

Mom.

I know.

Hey, hey, hey. Let me see.

Okay, go. Don't be late.

-What?

-I just got an email

from Columbia.

Well, what does it say?

It-- uh, it-- I can't tell

if it's good or bad,

it just says to log in

to see application status.

-Well, log in!

-What does it mean?

I got in.

Really?

I can't believe it, I got in!

I mean--

I always wanted to go,

but I didn't think

I could actually get in.

Of course you could!

I have to tell Dad.

-Yeah.

-I-- I can-- I can

call him later, it's fine.

-No, come here. Come here!

Congratulations, baby.

-Okay.

- Oh, congratulations.

- Mom.

You're smothering.

Congratulations.

- Yeah.

It's-- it's--

it's very exciting. Mm-hmm?

But I was wondering

what kind of scholarships

you provide

to help offset

these tuition costs.

Yes, there are a number

of financial aid programs

you can apply for.

Well, I'd prefer

the standard ten-year ARM,

since the rates keep changing.

So you plan

on keeping your-- Correct?

- Uh-huh.

- - You might wanna look at some options.

That doesn't really work.

- Uh-huh.

- Morning, queen.

...some interest on that place.

Yeah.

'Sup, doc?

You don't mind if I put this

coffee in an IV drip today?

-Late night?

-No.

Whatever, it was worth it,

he was cute.

Hey. You got a sec to chat?

I'm on the phone. Later.

I don't wanna hear it.

But I smell it.

But I redid the kitchen.

And the bathrooms.

These numbers

are from our last evaluation.

Well, doesn't that increase

the value of the house?

-We'd have to schedule

another home visit...

-Uh-huh.

...before it's determined

if we can increase

your property value.

-Okay.

-These would be

the next steps to go on.

So what's the maximum amount

you could lend me?

-We can't give you another loan

until you've paid--

-What?

Until you've paid for the ones

you've lapsed payment.

No, I understand.

Yup. No, no.

I-- I got it. Thank you.

Here you go.

All right, go, go, go!

Thanks for making me

late again, Dad.

How about thanks

for the ride, Dad?

-You're lucky

to take the bus here.

-Yeah, whatever.

Forget something?

Scottie? Don't whatever me.

-All right?

-It's just-- you're the one

who slept in late.

I'm going to get

in trouble for it.

I've been having trouble

sleeping lately.

-Yeah, I wonder why.

-You got something

you're trying to say to me?

-Do you?

-No.

Look, I'm gonna call the school,

I'm gonna tell them you're late

and it's my fault, all right?

Don't worry about it.

I love you. See you at the game.

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go!

Go, go, go!

Hi, this is Michael

calling again.

I'm on my cell.

I need to talk to the doctor.

It's an emergency.

Ah, fu...

How do you feel about mulligans?

Take as many as you need.

That's what I like

about you Democrats.

You're just so forgiving.

Remember, sir. Hinge for power.

Just put the ball on the green.

Grab that. Get 'em.

To be honest, I hate this game.

And it's a game.

Make no mistake,

this is not a sport.

I mean, look at this.

Man my age,

I'm walkin' around 18 holes.

I'm not breakin' a sweat,

I got some guy

carryin' my clubs.

I mean, how is this a sport?

You have a point there, sir.

Requires skill and patience,

neither of which I have.

I like the--

like the scenery, though.

-And the conversation.

-'Kay, well, man,

I'm gonna assume we're here

to talk about Kentucky.

Oh, no. No, no.

Kentucky's in the past.

I mean, yes.

We could have done better.

But, uh, we settled it.

Now, I'm here

to talk about mulligans.

Getting another sh*t?

I need you

to talk to the AG in Ohio.

-Ablees?

-Mmm.

He's his own man. He's--

he's trying to make

a name for himself.

Especially with all that money

I gave him to get elected.

To be fair, sir, you also funded

his Republican opponent.

Mmm.

Well, winners don't play fair.

What you need to do

is tell your AG to hold off

on these

individual state lawsuits.

Gotta push them

to multistate deal,

or I'm gonna die

from a million paper cuts.

Nicholas?

Roll, not hit, sir.

-Roll, not hit.

-It's, um--

it's hard to make promises now

on what

the Attorneys General will do,

because the president has made

the Opioid Epidemic Mandate.

-Hmm.

-He wants prosecutions.

Well, just prosecute

all the dirty doctors

and abusers you want.

It's hard to put

the genie back in the bottle.

Mmm.

You got a big race comin' up

in New Mexico soon, don't you?

-Uh, Kevin Larkin, yes, sir.

-Right.

Yeah, you know who I like?

I like that

young Republican, Mendez.

We at the Democratic

Attorneys General Association

do not wanna rock the boat

with KanMed.

Well...

...whether you like it or not,

you are in the boat.

And you better pull your weight

and start pluggin' those holes,

'cause this boat is a-sinkin'.

Now...

...I gotta cut this short.

And I'm gonna fly to Ohio...

to see Ablees myself.

So I suggest...

I suggest

you put a call in to him.

Lisa. My favorite lobbyist.

How are you?

You look beautiful.

-Thanks for meeting me here.

-Oh, my pleasure.

I was curious what

a $100 frittata tasted like.

Sorry, do you mind

if we sit at that table there?

-It's a little less crowded.

-Of course!

Well, I'm sorry

that my father couldn't be here.

Fortunately,

you're just, uh, stuck with me.

Oh, it's fine.

-Thank you.

-So, um,

how is the Pain Care Forum

coming along with our bill?

Well, it's well-written.

But, you know, I'm biased,

as I wrote it myself.

Sure. Do you think it'll pass?

My ex-colleagues at the DEA

are scared shitless of it,

-which is a good sign.

-Hmm.

And we have a lot of support

from cancer groups

who want less

pain medicine regulation.

What politician wants to get

between a cancer patient

and their medicine?

-Mmm. Exactly.

-Hmm.

Everything sounds great,

Lisa, so why the hell

are we meeting?

Hi, I'll have a macchiato,

she'll have a caviar frittata.

-Absolutely.

-Thank you so much.

-All right. No problem.

-Thank you.

It's hard to lobby the bill

under the current optics.

Optics?

Yeah, we-- we live

in an age of transparency.

And your father has baggage.

So what do you suggest, Lisa?

Maybe a changing of the guard.

Hmm. May I see your purse?

- I'm sorry, excuse me?

- Can you give me

the f*cking purse?

Okay.

Yeah, um,

I'm not recording this.

It's such a beautiful bag.

Hmm.

Great.

It's great to see you, Lisa.

Stand up. Give me a hug.

Hmm.

-Okay? It's fine.

-Okay.

-It's a beautiful color on you.

-Oh, thank you.

It's great seeing you,

I gotta go to Ohio,

but I want you to enjoy

that frittata,

because it is-- Mmm!

Doc.

-Yeah?

-Jeff from KanMed's here.

He brought you breakfast,

and sweet ass to match.

Inappropriate.

When's KanMed gonna take

the staff out

for another

educational dinner in the city?

-They don't do those

much anymore.

-It's probably 'cause I had

one too many

apple martinis that time.

I'm pretty sure

it's not 'cause of that.

Have you told Jeff

that you're not gonna

prescribe anymore?

-Not yet.

-Good idea.

Who wants rainbow bagels?

-Ooh, I do. Wait, wait, wait.

You ready?

-Uh-oh. All right.

Try one more.

- Work flex!

- Love it.

You should have seen the line

around the block for these.

Luckily, I know the manager,

boom, skipped the line.

Thank you, Jeff.

This is very sweet of you.

-Aww.

-We love your staff!

Next time,

can you bring me some of those

cream-filled Long Johns?

Sharon.

What? I--

I'm talkin' about donuts.

- I'm sorry.

- Yeah.

Oh, I brought some pens

for the office,

just in case you need.

You have enough pens.

Thank you.

-Can I talk to you for a sec?

-Yes.

-Oh, oh, that--

-Yeah.

I, uh...

...I also brought

a couple of these.

-For your little ones.

-Oh, you didn't have to do that.

I heard kids

like teddy bears, yeah?

Yes, they love these.

-Still?

-Thank you.

Oh, um,

do you mind signing this for me?

I gotta show proof I was here.

-Yeah, you got it.

-Thanks.

How you doin', Mar?

-You know. Doing my best.

-Yeah?

-We're real happy

with your numbers on our end.

-That's great.

Uh... Jeff, can we meet

for lunch today?

Uh, I'm pretty slammed.

I got a couple

more appointments.

Can you push 'em?

It's kind of important.

This can't be discussed here?

No, Jeff, it can't.

Push your meetings, please.

Okay. Okay.

All right, I gotta go.

-Enjoy. Hey, tag me!

Don't at me.

-I got you.

-Yeah, get that Vitamin D!

-Duh!

Would you get back

to work, please?

Good morning, Ms. Monroe.

Have there been

any new developments

since I saw you last month?

My grandson, Hector,

started playing tee-ball.

Look at him.

Isn't he the cutest?

Oh, yeah.

Hello. Hi. This is Michael,

I left a few messages.

-Morning, Michael.

-Oh, hey, Georges.

-You might want to know--

-I'm sorry, I just--

I need one--

-But Michael.

-Georges, please.

-How are you today?

- Good, sir, how are you?

- I'm good, thank you.

I just need a refill

on my prescription.

You need to make

an appointment.

-Well, can't you

just call in for me?

-No.

-He has to see you in person.

-Thank God.

Michael, open the door.

- f*ck off, please.

- Excuse me?

- No, no. Not you.

- Is there

anything else I can do?

Well, okay, well,

if this is about money,

that's not an issue.

- Yeah, I've been weaning off.

- That's good, sir.

Well,

when is the doctor available?

- Next week.

- Next week?

- Michael?

- Yup.

And here. Look at this one.

He started playing tee-ball.

I know, you just told me.

Oh, right.

I'm sorry, I...

...I'm just proud of him.

Once you have grandkids,

you'll understand.

Aw, I need to get

mine out the house first.

But maybe one day I'll be

showing you photos of grandkids.

So, what about

any changes to your health

since I saw you last month?

No changes.

Just the usual refill, please.

And the pain

in your hip hasn't subsided?

No. The medicine helps.

Have you been going to PT?

-Yes, three times a week.

-That's good.

Remember,

you only have two more months

on oxycodone left,

and it's half

the dosage this month,

and another half the next.

Is there any way we can keep

the prescriptions going?

If needed, I can provide you

with a treatment center

-to help wean you off the meds.

-No, no.

There's no need for all that.

-Yeah. You got it?

-Yeah. Thanks.

-All right.

-Bye.

- Michael.

- What?

We have a problem.

-The health inspector's here.

-m*therf*cker.

Tell the doctor

it's an emergency,

and I will call you back.

-Are you okay?

-Yeah, I'm fine. Listen.

-Something about an emergency?

-No, no. Everything's fine.

Oh, hi.

I'm, uh, Michael.

Owner of this establishment.

Sorry, I was in a meeting.

-You're out of soap

in the bathroom.

-Really?

Uh, well that's probably

because we make sure

our employees wash their hands

-twice every time,

to be thorough.

-Mm-hmm. Where's the kitchen?

Come on, guys, come on.

Close this!

Do you want anything

to drink or eat?

Branzino here is amazing,

super fresh.

Where's the kitchen?

Kitchen. Yeah. Right here.

Slippin'.

Better get your act together.

- Oh. You good, doc?

- Yeah,

I'm just stretching out.

Ah. Mechanic called.

Said your car's ready.

Okay. That was quick.

Your next appointment.

Thank you.

Thanks for seeing me.

I banged up my knee pretty good.

Ran through a table.

And when was the accident?

- Uh, 'bout three days ago.

Hurts like a m*therf*cker.

I'm sorry. Uh, like a bitch.

- Sorry, um-- -It's okay, it's okay.

- I know what you mean.

-Please, take a seat.

-I was chasing my little rugrat

around the livin' room.

Didn't see the damn table.

Mmm, gotten a few

parenting injuries myself.

No ring, though.

Nope.

Okay, let's take a look.

Can you pull up

your pant leg, please?

-Which one is it?

-Uh, the left one.

Just tell me where it hurts.

Ah! Yeah. Bingo. Right there.

On a scale of one to ten,

how bad is the pain?

-Ten being the worst.

-Uh, this is, like, an eight.

But honestly,

pain don't hurt me,

you know what I'm saying?

I'm also having trouble

sleeping lately, so I don't know

-if there's somethin'

you can give me for that, too?

-Sir, what do you want?

Uh, week's worth

of Oxy, Xany, and some Soma?

I mean, pretty please?

Look, it's cool.

I know, all the records

are digital now, just--

just let me get

seven days' worth for acute pain

or whatever, and, you know...

You were referred

by Ms. Santiago,

is that correct?

Yeah. Uh...

You got her those Oxies,

she said.

I don't know what

Ms. Santiago told you about me,

but I'm not running

that type of clinic here.

This is a pain relief clinic

for patients in need.

You want a pill mill?

You go somewhere else.

Well, technically,

I am in need, doc.

-You know what I'm saying?

-Don't ever come back here.

And you can tell Ms. Santiago

that she's not welcome here

anymore, either.

Yo, who you kiddin', doc?

I could have put you

onto mad business.

Whatever, you ain't

the only clinic in town

still prescribing.

Your loss.

No wonder you're single.

Stupid ass.

- What'd you just say?

- Forget it.

Sir, I'm gonna

need you-- Sir! Sir!

Are we in the position

to be turning down new patients?

We're not drug dealers, Kat.

Please, since when?

There are CDC guidelines.

You just can't overdo it.

The state is coming down

on clinics like ours,

so no new prescriptions

and we taper the old ones off.

We have to have standards.

How are you gonna make money?

You do know that you can help

these people and run a business

at the same time?

It don't have to be

one or the other.

Your catalytic convertor

was missing, so we replace.

What do you mean, missing?

Did it fall off?

No. Someone probably steal.

Why would someone steal that?

I see more and more now,

junkies steal for scrap.

They make $200 easy this way.

You are the fifth person

I replace this week.

Hmm, glad to hear business

is thriving for everyone.

How much do I owe you?

$2500?

-Can you come down at all here?

-I already give you

discount on labor.

Please.

-This no good.

-No, that one works.

Run it again.

Do you take checks?

Okay.

Mom, Jenny got into Columbia, too.

Maybe we could be roommates next year.

- That's great for Jenny.

- You don't sound excited.

No, I am, honey, I am.

I'm just with a patient.

Let me call you later.

Well, what are you gonna do?

Well, it would help

if you got a g*dd*mn job,

so I don't have to pay

for the children

and everything--

So you expect me

to pay for this?

I didn't tell her

to go to Columbia.

-Yeah, I need a copy of that.

-It's been done.

Good afternoon! How we doin'?

- Nice to see you.

- Mr. Kassar.

How are ya?

How you doin', Chuck?

How did it go with

the Pain Care Forum lobbyists?

Just as long as the checks

clear, they'll pass the bill.

Listen, what do you know

about this AG Ablees?

He wants to be a hero,

but I can cr*ck him.

You'd better

for what we pay you, come on.

Listen, um, I need you

to do something for me,

after we settle Ohio.

Uh...

...I need you to put in

a word for me with the board.

I don't know, Jacob.

Are you ready for this?

Your father won't step down

without a fight.

Now, change is inevitable.

Question is,

do you want to be ahead of it,

or behind it?

I agree, from a PR standpoint,

that a change in leadership

would be welcome--

KanMed needs a new face.

Does it not?

Even if it is the same family,

someone to clean up

our broken image,

and on some level,

my father understands that.

It would be smoother

for him to...

willingly step down, but--

You think he's gonna do that?

Dad.

I've missed a good w*r room.

- What are-- what you doing here?

- I'm finishing it.

No, that's, uh--

that's a bad idea.

Uh, Dana and I can be

the firewall in this,

and there's-- there's no need

for you to show face.

Mmm, Jacob,

if you could have settled this,

you would have by now.

Dad, I need you

to trust me here.

'Cause you're my son?

You know

that doesn't work for me.

How am I gonna earn it

if you don't give me the chance?

Look... ...it's--

this thing has gone on

long enough, all right?

You've had your chance.

Now, when they see me,

sitting across from them,

they're gonna know

we mean business, all right?

- Dana, brief me.

- Good to see you, sir.

Yes, they'll be three plaintiffs

families on the Ohio side.

Um, not to worry, I'll do--

You don't care that

this is technically illegal?

I don't really give a sh*t.

It's fun.

Sometimes.

Isn't it crazy,

how seeing someone, like,

outside their work environment

can just completely change

your perspective of them?

-Jeff?

-Yeah.

Don't ruin it.

Okay.

Oh, man, it's like seeing

someone in a parallel universe.

You know,

I'm not just a drug rat.

I'm not just a doctor.

-Jeff.

-Hmm?

I need you to put me back

on the lecture circuit.

Oh, what the f*ck, Mary?

Is that what this was all about?

-Yes and no.

-Look.

I'm sorry,

but KanMed doesn't want us

to promote oxycodone anymore.

-You know,

it means no more lectures.

-But I need those lectures.

I make the majority

of my income giving speeches.

And-- and, believe me,

I for one am extremely grateful.

You know, you help me

hit my quota every year.

-I wasn't doing it for you.

-Look, KanMed believes

it's not a good look for them

to be promoting opioids

when they're being blamed

for the epidemic.

I mean, look, it's terrible,

what's going on out there.

Half my colleagues

have been laid off.

-I'm lucky to still have a job.

-So what am I supposed to do?

Survive off your charm

and f*ckin' rainbow bagels?

Oh, sh*t.

Wouldn't k*ll you to use

a little charm yourself.

All right.

I'll be honest with you.

KanMed just got a new drug

approved by the FDA,

it's called NOX.

It's an opioid antagonist.

For overdoses.

Wow. You guys are getting paid

to k*ll them and save them, huh?

Ooh, I can't hear that.

It'll be rolled out

over the next couple weeks.

All right, I'm listening.

Think I have a sample

here somewhere.

Here. You can keep that.

It can be administered

through clothing.

KanMed wants the lecture circuit

to consist of first responders.

You know, police, EMTs, but...

I could pitch you forward, too.

I actually think it'd be good

to have some doctors

promoting it.

It's a little

out of my jurisdiction.

I know, but...

maybe it can help you get you

back to where you need to be.

Thank you.

And I'm sorry I was harsh.

I've been a bit stressed.

You don't have to

apologize to me.

And listen,

you need to blow off some steam.

Or maybe we shouldn't make this

too much of a regular thing.

I'm not good, huh?

I was gonna say,

I teach spin class.

You can come,

as my guest, anytime.

For free.

Wait, you're a spin instructor?

I told you,

I'm not just a drug rep.

Everyone's got a side hustle.

Ah, we do

what we gotta do, right?

Mm, another parallel universe.

Let's go over

the game plan, Mr. Kassar.

Want to try and talk

Ablees back into a multi-state,

but there is a good chance

they're gonna want

their own settlement.

And the mediation's sealed

from the public, Dad,

so no cameras.

When they bring up

their witnesses,

today, I need for you

to be stoic and steadfast.

Not a problem.

Dad, you've never been

face to face

with these plaintiffs.

Some of these testimonies

can get pretty...

-emotional.

-Yeah.

Nothing's gonna

change my position, son.

- Nicholas.

- Good.

Ohio is seeking $30 million.

We suggest

offering five million.

They expect us

to pay for heroin addicts,

and now we gotta pay

everybody's health care, too?

If they att*ck you

and say that you're insensitive

to the opioid crisis,

we pivot and say that KanMed

is now the leader

in abuse deterrent dr*gs.

Yeah, just tell 'em that

KanMed distributes millions

in prescription drug monitoring

programs, they eat that sh*t up.

That's not to stray

from the talking points

we've highlighted for you, sir.

We're gonna do

everything we can to keep them

from questioning you.

We would like

to wrap this up today.

-I'm sorry. I'm sorry, man.

-Excuse me.

-There's a line.

-Listen. I know.

It's an emergency.

- Hi, hi.

- -Sir, you're gonna have to wait in line.

I've been coming here

for years, that's gotta

count for something, right?

-What's the emergency?

-I-- I need

a refill on a prescription.

Yeah, don't we all, man?

Get in line.

That's okay, I can

schedule you an appointment--

No, hey. Look.

I don't care, I'll pay double.

Here, I have the money.

I don't care.

- I need to see the doctor.

- Okay, sir.

She is not in right now.

That's bullshit, what are

all these people doing here?

- Sir.

-Waiting in line, like you should be, man.

Would you please f*ck off?

-I didn't mean that.

-We're pushing each other?

-No, we're not pushing

each other.

-No, you just pushed me.

I'm sorry. I said I'm sorry,

all right? I didn't mean it.

-No, I'm sorry, too.

-Hey, come on. Stop. Stop.

Stop. Stop.

Hey, stop.

- Sorry, man!

- Stop!

Keep moving, honey.

-They're kicking each other,

-Mom.

Hey! Oh! Oh!

Hey! Hey.

What the hell's going on?

Both of you, get out of here,

or I'm calling the police.

-I need to see you.

-I'm sorry, there are no

appointments for you.

-Doctor, I'm getting sick.

-If you're sick,

then go to the hos--

I don't need a hospital!

Can you refill?

-You need to leave!

-Just give me a refill!

You are not welcome here.

Dale, get him out of here.

-You could write it right now!

f*ck you, Dale!

-Call the police!

Just get a pad,

I know it's right back there.

Please, just get a pad!

-Sir, please, leave!

-I'm not leaving. I'm not

leaving until you see me.

-Kat, call the police.

-I'm not leaving

until you see me.

-I will call the police, sir.

-Call them, I don't care.

-Call the police, right now.

-Really?

Call them right now. Yes!

f*ck, now I need

to go to a hospital.

You happy?

Yes! And you, please,

Dale, get them out of here.

- You heard her. Let's go.

- Are you okay?

- Oh, my goodness, Mary.

- What is happening?

I don't-- It-- I'm so sorry.

I am so-- Please.

I will be taking

appointments shortly.

-Have a seat.

-Come in, sweetie.

-Could you get the glass?

-I-- I got it, Mary.

Just take -- it's just,

we're sorry. It's gonna be...

-Did you call the cops?

-Of course not.

Okay, good.

-Hey, you can't park here!

-Yeah, yeah.

Okay, you're all set.

Just make sure

you keep your hand dry

for at least 48 hours,

then you can wash

with cold water,

two times a day.

Also, you get to take

two of these every four hours.

Well, this is Ibuprofen.

I was thinking maybe

you could give me something

a little stronger?

I'm sorry.

According to the Prescription Monitoring Registry,

you reached

your limit this month.

It's out of our hands.

Good afternoon, everyone.

My name is Carl Hicks.

I'll be your mediator today.

Our goal here

is to find a resolution

that both parties

are comfortable with.

I understand

this is a high-profile,

and highly emotional case,

for everyone involved.

But let's try to keep

an air of civility,

in order to find

a common goal of resolution.

Mr. Ablees, would you please

introduce the plaintiffs?

Thank you, sir.

We of the great state of Ohio

are seeking payment

for the damages

caused by KanMed,

with the misbranding

of oxycodone...

a prescription

opioid pain medication,

with intent to defraud

and mislead the public.

It's impossible

to put a price on the damage

KanMed has caused

to the families,

to the communities,

and to this state.

Families who will never see

their children again.

Communities who have lost

an entire generation to opioids,

where high schoolers have gone

to more funerals

that graduation parties.

And to this state,

that is on the brink

of bankruptcy,

because we can't keep up

with the health care costs,

due to the opioid crisis.

And for what?

All for the sake of greed.

Today, we demand

that KanMed pay $30 million

for the damages

they've inflicted

upon this state

and its citizens.

Thank you, Mr. Ablees.

The defense may now begin

with their opening statement.

Thank you, sir.

Good afternoon.

Today, we will hear

a lot of facts.

Yes, there are some facts

which say that KanMed

over-marketed oxycodone,

and these facts are true,

and KanMed is willing to take

responsibility for their part.

But this is a mediation,

and that means both sides

must take responsibility,

so that we can meet

in the middle.

Because there are also

some other facts

we will hear today.

Facts of how the FDA

approved the drug

they knew was highly addictive.

Facts about individuals

with substance abuse,

who were clearly

misusing the drug.

Facts of how inept doctors

became irresponsible,

because we understand that

there's an opioid crisis

in this country.

And KanMed

is committed to helping.

But pointing to one company

and one product

that never constituted

more than 3.6% of the total

opioid prescriptions

really misses the mark

on how to fix it.

All right, who's next?

Come on.

Excuse me, sir?

Do you have a cigarette,

by any chance?

Sorry, I don't smoke.

You sub or meth?

-What's that?

-Suboxone or methadone?

Uh, what they can give me,

I guess.

Oh, it's your first time.

- Yeah.

- Just one second, okay?

They ain't gonna see you today

if you're new. You should've

gone first thing in the morning.

-Really?

-Yeah. And then they gotta

piss test and swab you.

It can take days.

I don't even have hours.

What you need? H?

No, I don't do that.

I just need oxies.

Ugh, my stomach. Oh, my God.

I'm a good judge of character.

I'll tell you what. I got a guy.

It's not a problem.

I can bring you to him.

I'll hook you up.

I don't know. Maybe I should

go back to the ER.

sh*t, you must really like

waiting in lines.

- Rich person?

- Good luck with that.

Dude, you've got cash?

Yeah. I just need a few

until I see my doctor,

or another doctor, but...

can we go now?

Chill, man,

I gotta get my dose. But...

yeah, after that, sure.

I got you. Don't worry about it.

-Thanks for waiting.

-Oh, no problem.

Sorry about the mess

in the waiting room.

-Please, take a seat.

-I-- I can't.

So your lower back is in pain?

Yes, it's been hurting

for several weeks now.

I feel like

it's only getting worse.

Can I ask how you found me?

Oh, I found you on the Internet.

We don't usually see walk-ins

without a referral.

I understand-- I, um--

you're actually

the closest doctor

in my neighborhood,

and I can't really drive

at the moment,

or even sit in the car.

You got good reviews.

All right.

I'm gonna take a look.

Dez, man, what the f*ck?

Why the f*ck you bring this

dopesick white boy to my crib?

My block is

right around the corner.

He's got cash.

He's cool, Reggie.

Uh, sorry about that.

I'm Michael.

Oh, nobody give a f*ck

what your name is, man.

- You a cop?

- No.

Oh, he's got that super flu.

He ain't no cop.

What are you, some kind of

professor, lawyer, or some sh*t?

No, sh*t, he does kind of have

that scholarly vibe to him.

Dez. Shut the f*ck up.

Can't believe you brought

this sorry-ass dopesick

cop professor in here.

She said you had oxies.

"She said you had oxies."

f*ck is wrong with you, man?

-You got money?

-Yeah.

You know...

know if you a cop,

you'd have to tell me, right?

Not a f*cking cop, all right?

Nah, no, no, no, no.

I'm gonna need you to do

a little bit better than that.

Mm.

Go ahead, man.

Snort that sh*t.

Oh.

Thank you.

Oh, f*cking A, man.

Ah, man,

you ain't no f*cking cop.

Just another f*cking OC junkie.

I told you.

I sell it all on eBay.

Only put clean money

in the bank, feel me?

Reggie's got

the first Agent Unknown comic.

-You're gonna show it to him?

-No.

-Come on, I brought you a deal!

So just let me see it.

-No.

-I won't even

take it out of the plastic.

-No, Dez, no.

I'm not gonna let your

greasy-ass hands touch my sh*t.

You lucky I even let you

in my crib in the first place.

f*ck around and

give me bedbugs and sh*t.

f*ck is wrong with you?

Dirty ass.

Okay,

so how's this gonna work, man?

Do you hear this dude?

What do you want? 30s, 40s?

-Uh, 40s-- 40s is good, yeah.

-That-- that's 50.

Each.

Okay.

It's, like, $6 a pill

at the pharmacy, man.

Does this look like

a f*cking pharmacy to you?

All right, here.

That's-- that's 800, so.

Whatever that gets me.

Why are you so sweaty, man?

Come on, man, please.

I'll be right back.

And the comic, please.

Ah.

Man!

You said

it's been about five weeks,

so technically, we're not

talking about chronic pain.

Um, I'll take a look

at these X-rays.

Thank you for bringing these.

Okay, well.

These X-rays show

that you don't have

any broken bones

in your spine or hips.

Sounds to me

like a pinched sciatica nerve.

Now, medication can help

ease the pain,

but it's not a cure.

I would recommend you

go see our acupuncturist

or the physical therapist

that we work with.

I just...

I don't know

what to do about the pain now.

You know,

I just-- I just think about

ending it all,

I don't know, and...

...you have to make it stop.

Please.

How long have you been

off the oxycodone?

It's been three weeks?

Okay.

I'm gonna write you

a prescription for oxycodone.

Ten milligrams.

And I want you to take it

three times a day.

But you must do

physical therapy along with it.

- Promise?

- I promise.

- Thank you for understanding.

- You're welcome.

Hi, that'll be $150,

and we don't take insurance.

Okay.

He was just playing.

I don't have bed bugs.

Like, no way, uh...

I knew this one guy, though,

I think-- I think he was, like,

a schizo or something.

I used to cook up

with him in my tent,

and, um, one time

I was tying him off,

and I just saw all these bugs

crawling all over him,

just, like...

crazy bugs.

I thought I was, like, tripping.

Like some PCP sh*t or whatever.

I just-- and I just left.

I just left all my sh*t there,

clothes, everything.

And just never went back.

You know,

just so you know, like, ugh,

like, I have standards.

I'm not, like,

you know, dirty like that.

Yeah.

I didn't think you were dirty.

Yeah.

-All right, professor.

-Oh. Thank you.

-You all set, man.

-Thank you very much.

And, Dez. Hey!

Don't take that sh*t

out of the f*cking plastic.

-Okay.

-You're gonna f*ck up

the resale value, for real.

You got any Amnesia Man comics?

Nice one, Scottie!

He's been working

on his free throws all season.

Yeah!

Ooh.

-You're too late.

-Better late than never, right?

- Right.

- How's he doing?

He's crushing it.

-Maybe the coach

will start him now, huh?

-Yeah, I hope so.

- Back up, Josh!

- Let's go, guys!

-Michael, are you okay?

-I'm fine, I was just--

-There's traffic.

-You're sweating.

-Yeah, I--

-What's going on with your hand?

Just cut me some slack,

please, Allison.

We're divorced, remember?

I don't have to do that anymore.

The thing that you and I

need to do together

is show up on time for Scottie,

and you can't do that.

-Come on.

-Good boy, Scottie!

Come on, bud!

-Hey, is that--

-Just my prescriptions.

Are you seriously doing that

in front of the arena?

-At a nine-year-old's

basketball game?

-Okay, okay.

These are fake.

This assh*le ripped me off.

-What did you get?

-Nothing, I'm fine. Lay off.

-Lay off.

-Yeah, if being a total g*dd*mn

mess is fine, you're fine.

Hey, you see that, Coach?

Good heart, Scottie!

That is what I'm talking about!

What's it gonna take for him

to get some more playing time?

Coach doesn't know

what he's doing.

You know what?

Why don't you be a screw-up

on your own time, okay?

You wanna OD again on whatever's

in your pocket, fine by me.

Do not do it right now.

This is Scottie's time.

'Cause you don't have

a relationship with

your own parents

that you're constantly

trying to sabotage

your relationship with our son,

but I'm not gonna do this

with you anymore. My God--

Oh, my God!

Michael! Oh, I'm so sorry.

Jesus.

- Get me out of here, please.

- Okay. Oh...

Okay. Okay. Oh, I'm so sorry.

Come on, come on.

I'm so sorry.

That's Scottie's dad?

Scottie!

I'm sorry, Coach. Scottie.

Come here, baby, we gotta go.

Your dad's sick.

Come on.

Look at the freak.

'Sup, doc?

What a day, huh?

Oh, is it over yet?

So, lunch with Jeff?

-Did it go well?

-Stop sniffing around for clues.

Well, you gotta

give me something.

Did you know

he's a spin instructor?

Oh, God, I'm not surprised

with those buns.

And that is all I got for you.

Okay, um, I don't know

when's a good time,

so I'm just gonna

go ahead and say it.

I need a raise.

-Are you kidding me?

-What? We're back in business.

You are--

Wow.

Now's really not a good time.

Okay, when is?

Because I've been working here for three years,

and I've never asked you for a

raise or even an extra day off.

- Why today?

- -Because they're raising my rent.

I'm sorry, but what happens

outside the office

is not my responsibility.

So you're willing to replace me?

I like you, Kat,

I enjoy your company,

and you're a pleasure

to have around the office.

But you're not irreplaceable.

Please don't mistake

my kindness for weakness.

You know, I could

say the same thing to you.

What are you talking about?

You're a gynecologist

that runs a pain relief clinic.

You know, it's just

a small raise, that's it,

so I don't have to, like,

stress at every month.

I wouldn't know what

that's like, not to stress.

Ah, you wanna make a dent

in this patient line, or not?

Yeah, sorry.

Can we talk about this later?

Yeah. Yeah, for sure.

-Come on.

-Oh, yeah.

You played well today, Scottie.

Sorry I ruined your game.

It's fine, Dad.

I just want you to get better.

- Shouldn't we take him

to a hospital or something?

No, no, I'm fine.

It's just a cold.

It's okay, buddy.

Will you get your dad

a glass of water

and a blanket, please?

-God, everything aches.

-Michael.

-It's in my bones.

-How can I help?

I just need some pills, please.

Do you have any?

-No.

-Anything upstairs?

Anything, please?

-No.

-Do you-- Nothing upstairs?

-No, no more pills.

They're making you sick.

I'm calling the detox cen--

No, no, no.

I'm not going back there.

Maybe this time

will be different,

or we will find you

another place to go,

but you do not get to say to me

that you're not gonna go.

Come on.

How did this happen?

You were supposed to have

a minor back surgery.

That was it, and now

you're high all the time.

I'm not trying to get high,

okay? I'm trying not to be sick.

-Okay.

-You understand?

Yes, I understand. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

How many pills are you on a day?

I don't know, like, 40 or 50.

50?

I didn't know

it was this bad, I didn't--

The guilt trip is not helping,

Allison, okay?

I'm not trying to

guilt you, Michael.

I'm worried about you, okay?

I'm worried about Scottie--

Hey, baby.

I think we should,

um, take your dad

to lay down in the guest room.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-Come on.

-Yeah.

-You lay down in here.

-Okay.

Oh, you have a guest room.

That's fancy.

Yeah, it ought to be fancy.

You paid for it.

Here you go, Dad.

You're a good kid, Scottie.

Mmm.

Must have got it

from your mom's side, huh?

Come on, kid. Up.

Hey.

Hey, Dad?

Yeah.

When are you gonna get better?

I'm fine.

It's a cold, I told you.

- Dad.

- What?

You can't keep lying to me.

I can tell

there's something wrong.

Everyone can.

Look, I'm sorry, okay?

I'm sorry.

I don't need you to say

you're sorry anymore.

Sorry is just a word.

It doesn't mean anything.

What I need

is for you to get better.

To actually get better.

I, uh--

So that's what

it looks like, huh?

What?

Rock bottom.

Okay. Okay.

I'll do it. I'll get better.

- I'll go.

- Please--

I'll go. I'll go, come on.

- Wait-- -Okay?

I'm gonna do it, I promise.

I promise.

Please get him out of here.

-Okay. Baby, come here.

-Please.

Let's let your dad rest, okay?

Come on.

...against him, and the board--

What are we talking about?

We all good?

- Uh, yeah.

- Uh.

We're just plotting

our next move, aren't we?

Excuse me, we wanted to go over

some notes with the team

before we go back in.

Okay, so, uh, what's the plan?

Are we sticking with the five?

I'll tell you when I decide.

When you decide? Do you--

You wanna include me

in that strategy or what?

Oh, I know where you stand.

I know you want me out.

Uh, Dad. Dad.

That's not-- listen.

It's just a cosmetic cover-up.

You know, I might not have

started this company,

but I sure as hell

had the vision

to turn it into an empire.

-I know!

-I had a vision.

-I know that.

What do you got

besides blind ambition?

-You got a vision? Yeah?

-Yeah, I do, Dad.

If you would stop

doing everything on your own

and just listen to me,

then I could fix this.

-Will you back up?

-Let's take it outside.

-Dad? Dad, we're gonna be okay.

-KanMed will be

just fine, yes.

You don't need to look

for the tobacco companies

to see that.

But what about

after the settlement?

After the settlement?

What does that f*cking matter,

what are you talking about?

I remember

when you boys were children,

and you've always--

you always stole

your brother's toys.

It's not my fault he quit, Dad.

I'm the one who stuck by

your side in the trenches

while the walls were caving in.

I earned this.

You were born into it.

Yeah, well, f*cking so were you!

Survival of the fittest,

isn't that what you taught us?

China. Brazil.

We focus on unregulated markets

where we have

barely scratched the surface,

and while the US

takes a hit on oxycodone,

we rebuild here,

by focusing on anti-opioid

antagonist dr*gs, Dad.

You bought me the toolkit--

Antagonist dr*gs, Dad.

It's true that

we can do anything, Dad.

...anything, Dad.

Anything, anything.

Anti-opioid

antagonist dr*gs, Dad.

You gave me the tools.

Let me build.

I-- I'm so sorry.

We're back in now.

Yeah, we're not done here, Dana.

Yeah. We are.

Oh, no,

Ma'am. You can't go back there.

She's with a patient.

-Sorry, doc.

-It's okay, I can see her now.

No, no, there's others

who are waiting.

-It's fine. I'm sure

it'll only be a minute.

-I need the doctor.

It's okay, Ms. Monroe, I'm here.

What seems to be the problem?

M-- Ms. Monroe?

How many pills did you take?

-How many?

-Yes, since I saw you today?

I-- I didn't see you today.

You don't remember

your appointment

earlier this morning,

Ms. Monroe?

-Ms. Monroe?

-Did-- did I

tell you about Hector?

Yes, yeah, you told me

about Hector this morning.

Okay, she's off the reservation.

Hey. Ms. Monroe, Ms. Monroe.

-I need more.

-I don't know,

I think you've had enough.

Check her purse.

Ms. Monroe, stay with me!

Ms. Monroe?

- Yeah.

- It's empty, dated today.

-Oh! God, wait.

-All right, you got her?

- I got her.

- All right, I got her.

Okay. Okay, Ms. Monroe?

-She's not breathing.

-What?

-Should I call 911?

-No, let me try something!

Start-- Shh!

Come on, start breathing.

- Come on!

- Hey, come on.

Ms. Monroe! Come on.

- On her shoulder.

- You got her?

Got her, got her.

- Doc, she--

- Oh.

How long does it take

to start working?

I don't know.

Could be up to two minutes.

Two minutes!

Okay, so should we call?

-No, look--

-Are you crazy?

Okay, come on, let's go.

- Ms. Monroe!

- Wake up.

Come on!

She's not breathing.

-What's--

-Call. Call right--

- Ms. Monroe!

- Oh, there she--

- There we are.

- Hey, there she is.

- Thank God.

- You got it, Ms. Monroe.

-Just breathe. Yeah?

-Okay, then.

You all right? Mm-hmm? Come on.

-Take another breath.

-What happened?

I-- I don't-- I--

I don't know

how I ended up here.

How we doing in here?

You tell me.

Um, I have good news, bad news.

I found a detox center

that can take you.

-But?

-They're closing for the night.

They said you can come

first thing in the morning.

No, I can't wait

till the morning.

-That's too long.

-Yes, you can, Michael.

-You have to.

-No. You don't understand.

You promised him.

You have to.

- Okay.

- Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

- Come on.

- Mmm.

- Yeah?

- Mmm.

We were absolutely

terrible together, weren't we?

I'm not gonna marry you again,

if that's what

you're getting at.

In your dreams.

What's in it for me?

A lifetime of Nar-Anon meetings

and night terrors?

I think I've had

enough night terrors, thanks.

Hey.

I want you to look

in the pocket there.

You should give that

to Scottie for me, okay?

- This?

- Yeah.

Love that.

Why don't you give it

to him yourself?

-Scott--

-Hey, no, no, no. Babe, babe.

I don't want him to see me

like this again, okay?

Ever.

You give it to him.

You tell him.

Just tell him

I've been forgetful, and--

I'm sorry that--

But I'm getting better, okay?

Okay.

- Okay.

- Thank you.

I'll give it to him.

You gonna come

visit me in there?

I'll be there with pom-poms.

-You can do this.

-I know, I'm gonna be fine.

Man, I'll be amazing.

On behalf of the plaintiffs,

we'd like to bring up

one last representative.

Mr. Matthew Jenkins.

Oh.

Good afternoon.

Uh, or I should say,

good evening.

It's been a long day.

We've all been here for a while,

so I will try to be brief.

I-- I need

to start out by saying

that I have never

seen myself as a weak person.

On the contrary, I view myself

as a strong person.

Physically and mentally.

Um...

I was raised

in a really great home,

with two loving parents.

I, uh-- I have

a five-year-old son of my own.

All I ever wanted to do

was play baseball.

And I did.

I have a good arm.

I had a good arm.

Eventually, I played

Triple-A ball in Columbus,

and I'm not gonna lie,

I-- I made it to the show.

I got called up to Cleveland,

and that was a dream come true.

But as fate would have it,

I, uh--

I blew my elbow out

in the off-season,

and I elected

for Tommy John Surgery.

That's a procedure that, um,

usually helps most athletes,

and makes them stronger

than ever before.

Look, what you need

to understand is that...

when I started

to take oxycodone,

I did it exactly the way

my doctor told me to.

I didn't abuse it.

At the beginning.

No, I took it exactly

how he prescribed it.

But it got its hooks in me.

And once that... drug

was in my system,

my body became

physically dependent upon it.

Look, I didn't take oxycodone

to fill some kind of void

that was missing

in my life, okay?

That medication... was pushed...

on me by--

well, by doctors that I trust.

And that's not their fault.

That's not my fault.

That's your fault.

-Nice work today.

-Thank you.

Hey, Mommy.

Baby! What are you doing here?

- Hi, Sharon.

- Hey, girl.

Um, can we talk for a second?

Yes, of course.

So, I've been thinking,

if Columbia doesn't work out

and the scholarships

don't come through,

I don't have to go.

-Hush!

-I'm just happy

knowing that I got in.

I can still apply

to a state school.

-I'll be fine.

-No.

I will make it work.

I've got this. You're going.

-Really?

-Absolutely.

Don't worry.

-I'm gonna go.

-You're going. You're going.

I wouldn't have it

any other way, come here.

Thank you. Thank you.

I can't believe--

I'm so proud of you, baby.

I just...

I don't wanna suffer.

The pain was immense,

I don't know if any of you

have dealt with chronic pain.

But to be honest, it's--

it's boring.

It's monotonous, it's...

it's helpless.

No.

No, he's-- he's not in a car.

He has to be on foot,

he didn't have his car.

No, I-- I understand

that you are saying

I can't file a missing persons

report for 48 hours,

but you're not listening

to me, he was home!

And now he is gone.

I-- please,

you have officers

out on patrol all night.

And I'm just telling you

that I need help.

No, he's not a danger to others.

No.

We can't wait

for two days, what--

What does that even mean?

Um, red sweater,

uh, a blue jacket.

Coping.

Chronic pain. It's t*rture.

The irony is that...

...I tortured all the most

important people in my life.

My wife left me and took my kid.

Well, my parents, they, uh--

they abandoned me after my...

first stint

in rehab didn't stick.

Uh...

I was all alone.

To leave

a voice message, press one,

or just wait for the tone.

Hey, Dad, it's Michael.

It's been a while, huh?

Look, I...

so, I'm calling...

I don't know why I'm calling.

I'm call-- Okay.

I'm calling because...

so, I'm going back

into rehab, and...

I don't know,

this time it feels different.

I'm gonna be gone

for a while, but when I'm out...

I think it'd be nice

to get the family together

with Scottie.

Fresh start, you know?

At my lowest point, I, um...

I was living under a bridge.

Homeless.

Yeah.

Holding up a...

a cardboard sign,

at the end of an off-ramp,

asking for money.

But one day, a...

a car pulled over, and...

and the window

rolled down, and...

my parents

were inside of the back.

Two years before,

I was in the major leagues.

Excuse me.

I don't really, uh...

think I could possibly...

ever express the gratitude

I have for my folks.

They endured me going to rehab

four times before I got clean,

but I am proud to say that

today I am three years sober.

Yep.

Looks like something like that?

Possibly?

Hey, man.

-Man, f*ck you want, Professor?

-f*ck.

I don't care about before,

but I--

but I need the real sh*t now,

so can you help me, please?

Nah, man, I-- I can't

help you with that, dawg.

No, as in you can't

or you won't?

"No" as in get the f*ck

out of here, bro!

All right. Okay.

-f*ck out of here, man!

-All right, okay.

What you say, bitch?

Yeah, keep walking.

I promise.

-Hey.

-What you need, sexy?

-Trying to f*ck?

-No. Look--

Blowjob is 50,

but don't cum in my mouth.

I'm-- That's not

what I'm here for.

Yeah, baby. You okay?

You look sick as f*ck.

No. I need oxies.

Can you-- can you

find those for me along--

You don't have oxies

around here.

What do you think this is?

I don't know. I just feel

like I'm f*cking dying here.

Don't we all?

I was gonna tie off,

if you wanna join me.

Uh, no, I'm not--

I'm not into that.

Look.

You can snort it

instead of sh**ting it.

Besides, I ain't sharing

a needle with your ass.

I don't know.

Just give me 40.

There you go.

Wait here.

Look, I didn't agree to be here

to come scold you.

Certainly not to shame you.

I just...

I wanted to put a face...

to what an addict looks like.

Yes,

that's the sh*t right there.

Okay.

Give me your phone.

Here.

This should set you

straight till the morning.

There you go, baby.

Oh, my God. Yeah.

I know, you-- Oh.

You do that.

Wake up.

Yo, dude.

Wa-- wake up!

Wake up, please!

You're k*lling people.

I need a second.

- Can we take a brief recess?

- -Dad, where are you--

Yeah.

Let's-- let's take five.

Lawrence, it's Allison.

Um, the--

the police just called.

Michael's dead.

He overdosed.

I don't know what to do.

Well, it doesn't look like

we're gonna have time to

hear KanMed's response today.

We'll regroup in the morning.

There won't be

any need for that.

-What?

-Sir?

I was a child, I-- I dreamt

I caught a cloud in a jar.

And I was running through mist,

it was-- it was so thick

that I-- I couldn't even see

my hand in front of my face.

And when I held it,

the closed jar,

I held-- I--

when I held it up to the light,

the-- the cloud was gone.

Take the 30 million.

It's not enough to hurt me and--

and not enough to help you.

Uh, Da-- Dad? Dad.

Dad, what are you--

what are you doing?

Do you have any idea what kind

of precedent this is setting?

You're k*lling us, Dad.

You're k*lling people.

Shape and advance the world

before you leave it behind.

I-- it's useless.

You know, it's funny.

I always thought...

I would leave my son

the family business.

But unfortunately,

it's you, Jacob.

What is happening, Dad?

He's gone, Jacob.

Michael's gone.

Mr. Ablees,

would you agree to $30 million?

It's for your sister.

These are wrong, probably--

Do you mean--

Oh, ma'am.

We're not taking any more patients today.

Excuse u--

Mary Ambrose Davis,

I have a warrant

for your arrest.

You have the right

to remain silent.

Mary. Mary.

No, sir! You made a mistake!

- Where is your warrant here?

- -I'm not a doctor!

I'm not a doctor,

I'm just a nurse!

Mom, what is going on?

Hey, Dad, it's Michael.

It's been a while.

I'm going back into rehab.

When I'm out...

I think it'd be nice

to get the family

together with Scottie.

Fresh start, you know?
