and he's gonna wake up.Copy !req
112. - Why don't I get an LP tray?
- I want to wait a few minutes.Copy !req
113. Give 900 of cefotaxime
after the cultures.Copy !req
114. Well, I love what you've done
with the place, Peter. Very Teutonic.Copy !req
115. None of the trappings of success
to interfereCopy !req
116. with your performing your new duties.Copy !req
117. Well, I requisitioned some furnitureCopy !req
118. but I hear the form's still on your desk
waiting for your signature.Copy !req
119. Well, you should see my in-box.
Must be 18 inches deep.Copy !req
120. - Are those admissions folders?
- Yeah.Copy !req
121. I thought I'd familiarize myself with them
before I met with the candidates.Copy !req
122. Don't bother. Kids come in, they're gonna
toss out a bunch of tired clichésCopy !req
123. about wanting to help people.
You could ask them their favorite color,Copy !req
124. you can ask them whether or not
if they like cheese. Doesn't matter.Copy !req
125. Step outside a minute, would you?Copy !req
126. He showed up in my office whining
about not getting an interview.Copy !req
127. So I thought you should shake his hand,Copy !req
128. since this sort of falls
under your purviewCopy !req
129. before you have Security toss him out.Copy !req
130. Hey. That's your man.Copy !req
131. - Dean Benton?
- Dr. Benton.Copy !req
132. William White.
Thanks for finding time to see me.Copy !req
133. - Yeah. Well, what can I do for you?
- I…Copy !req
134. I got this letter.
I applied to the medical school,Copy !req
135. but I didn't get an interview.Copy !req
136. Teacher doesn't have a signed
emergency consent form.Copy !req
137. - He's still not waking up.
- How long has it been?Copy !req
138. - Forty minutes.
- Zack? Zack, can you hear me?Copy !req
139. - He needs an LP.
- We don't have parental consent.Copy !req

146. - Mmm-hmm.
- He's still altered.Copy !req
147. I wanna do a spinal tap but the preschool
doesn't have an emergency consent.Copy !req
148. And we haven't been able
to contact a parent yet.Copy !req
149. - Any other signs?
- Well, x-ray looks like viral pneumonia.Copy !req
150. I can't assess for a stiff neck,
but there is photophobia.Copy !req
151. Where do you want me to sign?Copy !req
152. Oxygen saturation's only 78.Copy !req
153. - What should it be?
- Hundred.Copy !req
154. Seventy-eight sounds like a passing grade.Copy !req
155. Barely.Copy !req
156. Put him up to four liters.Copy !req
157. CBC, blood cultures, ABG,
sed rate and a portable chest.Copy !req
158. And hang a gram of cefotaxime
in case it's pneumonia.Copy !req
159. Pneumonia? I don't even feel
like I have a fever.Copy !req
160. The steroids prevent you
from having fevers.Copy !req
161. And push 125 of Solu-Medrol.Copy !req
162. You're giving me more steroids?Copy !req
163. You could have a flare of the lupus
with inflammation in the lung.Copy !req
164. There's also a chance
that you are throwing blood clots.Copy !req
165. Lupus makes your blood
coagulate more easily.Copy !req
166. Have you called your own doctor?Copy !req
167. No.Copy !req
168. - I'll call him.
- No.Copy !req
169. Why? Because you think
I'm easier to manipulate?Copy !req
170. I'm not nearly as Machiavellian
as you imagine me to be.Copy !req
171. I came here
because I prefer your care.Copy !req
172. - How's it going?
- Easy tap when they're unconscious.Copy !req
173. Looks pretty clear.Copy !req

Gram's stain and culture.Copy !req
176. He's got those shoes that light up
when you walk. How do think they do that?Copy !req
177. - Want to roll him back over?
- What is that?Copy !req
178. - What?
- That.Copy !req
179. You didn't tell me
he had a macular rash.Copy !req
180. It wasn't there half an hour ago.Copy !req
181. - It must be a viral exanthem.
- It could be measles.Copy !req
182. - Measles?
- Yeah.Copy !req
183. Fever, altered mental status,
pneumonia.Copy !req
184. More likely,
he has a virus with pneumoniaCopy !req
185. and had a febrile seizure
from the high temperature.Copy !req
186. That is a classic measles rash.Copy !req
187. Abby, can you hand me
a tongue depressor?Copy !req
188. - Have you ever seen measles?
- No. You?Copy !req
189. Of course not.
Nobody's seen measles.Copy !req
190. Can you…Copy !req
191. He's got Koplik spots
on the buccal mucosa.Copy !req
192. What?Copy !req
193. Or he bit the inside of his mouth
when he was seizing.Copy !req
194. Malik, there's a Nelson's in the lounge.
Can you grab it, please?Copy !req
195. Now.Copy !req
196. - Is Zack all right?
- This is Mrs. Woodman.Copy !req
197. I was in court. I have to turn off
my cell when we were in session.Copy !req
198. Oh, my God!Copy !req
199. I'm Dr. Chen. Your son had a seizure
and a high temperature.Copy !req
200. We've done a spinal tap
to rule out meningitis.Copy !req
201. Mrs. Woodman,
are Zack's immunizations up-to-date?Copy !req
202. - No.
- Has he had the MMR?Copy !req
203. He hasn't had any immunizations.
None of our children have.Copy !req
204. - I got it, Dr. Carter.
- Abby, put a mask on Zack.Copy !req
205. What's the matter?Copy !req
206. - What the hell's happening?
- Oh, my God.Copy !req
207. You gotta get him
into the Laminar Flow Room.Copy !req
208. Call the school.
Don't let anybody leave.Copy !req
209. What's the matter with my son?Copy !req
210. - Your son has measles.
- That's not too bad, right?Copy !req
211. One in 500 kids die from measles.Copy !req
212. Frank, I'm taking
the Luiz kid up now.Copy !req
213. Please send along the films
when you find them again, will you?Copy !req

215. - Hi.
- Hey.Copy !req
216. - So how'd it go?
- Fine.Copy !req
217. Fine? That's it?Copy !req
218. I laid down, they shot a couple billion
more rads into my skull, and then I left.Copy !req
219. And that's it.Copy !req
220. Hopefully, my irradiated head
won't screw upCopy !req
221. any navigational equipment
on our next flight.Copy !req
222. All right, all right.Copy !req
223. I have to go.Copy !req
224. - Lunch?

225. Okay.Copy !req
226. So did I hear right? You're done?Copy !req
227. Radiation treatment.
Just two more weeks of immune therapy.Copy !req
228. - Dr. Greene?
- Yeah?Copy !req
229. That's great. Did they give you
the tumor back?Copy !req
230. - What?
- Well, you know, when they took it out,Copy !req
231. did they give it back to you?Copy !req
232. Because my uncle Al,
he's got his on a mantle in a jar.Copy !req
233. Guy over there wants to talk to you.Copy !req
234. You know, Dave, I don't really want
a tumor on my mantle.Copy !req
235. Hi. Dr. Greene.
Can I help you?Copy !req
236. Robert Wilson.
Is there some place we could talk?Copy !req
237. - Actually, I'm on duty.
- It'd be better if we had some privacy.Copy !req
238. - I'm sorry, Mr…
- Dr. Wilson.Copy !req
239. Dr. Wilson. What is it?Copy !req
240. I work for the Illinois Department
of Professional Regulation.Copy !req
241. We've been asked
to evaluate your competencyCopy !req
242. to continue practicing medicine.Copy !req
243. - Where did he catch measles?
- Europe, I think.Copy !req
244. Mom was in Paris on business
two weeks ago, took the whole family.Copy !req
245. She some fringe lunatic thinks
immunizations are a conspiracyCopy !req
246. between doctors and drug companies?Copy !req
247. I don't think so.Copy !req
248. Talk to the mom, find out
if there are other kids at homeCopy !req
249. where the child's been, anyone he's had
contact with over the last week.Copy !req
250. How is he?
They won't let me back there.Copy !req
251. We had to move him to a room
with a special ventilation systemsCopy !req
252. so that he doesn't contaminate
the rest of the ER.Copy !req
253. - Is he awake?
- He's still unconscious.Copy !req
254. He has pneumonia.
And, in all likelihood, encephalitis.Copy !req
255. - What's that?
- Inflammation around the brain.Copy !req
256. Were you able to get in touch
with the preschool?Copy !req
257. Yes. All the children are still there.Copy !req
258. You need to make sure
that they've all been immunized.Copy !req
259. Their parents, their siblings,
anyone they've been in contact with.Copy !req
260. There's a phone at the desk.
Just tell Frank that Dr. CarterCopy !req
261. - said you could use it.
- Okay.Copy !req
262. Please.Copy !req
263. You have other children?Copy !req
264. Yes, a daughter. I called
my husband. He's coming with her.Copy !req
265. And she hasn't been immunized either?Copy !req
266. No. Is Zack gonna be okay?Copy !req
267. Well, he's in grave condition
with a highly contagious disease.Copy !req
268. I'm not an irresponsible parent.Copy !req
269. I read all the literature on the Internet,
the parenting magazines.Copy !req
270. - I discussed it with my pediatrician.
- And he didn't recommend the MMR?Copy !req
271. Breast fed. Zack's immune system
could have been weakenedCopy !req
272. from too many vaccinations.Copy !req
273. The immune system
is strengthened by vaccines.Copy !req
274. Kids are exposed to foreign
antigens everyday.Copy !req
275. Vaccines aren't completely safe.Copy !req
276. - I'm sorry, I don't want to get in…
- They aren't, and you know it.Copy !req

vaccinations and autism…Copy !req

282. Etomidate and sux. I need a 5-0 uncuffed
ET and a number two curved blade.Copy !req
283. Please, what's going on?Copy !req
284. The viral infection caused
so much lung damageCopy !req
285. that no oxygen
can get into his bloodstream.Copy !req
286. - What are you doing to him?
- We're going to put a tube down his throatCopy !req
287. and try and get him some more oxygen.Copy !req
288. You have to put him
on a machine to breathe?Copy !req
289. If we don't intubate him right now,
he's gonna die.Copy !req
290. - I'll do it.
- No, I got it.Copy !req
291. Not on your first day back.
Step out, doctor.Copy !req
292. - What?
- Step out, doctor! Give me some suction.Copy !req
293. - He's throwing PVCs.
- Oh, my God!Copy !req
294. Come on.Copy !req
295. - Okay, I got it.
- Good breath sounds bilaterally.Copy !req
296. - Pulse ox up to 88.

297. Let's keep him on 100 percent

299. Is that the Bishop's?Copy !req
300. - He says he's feeling better.
- The oxygen and the medication.Copy !req
301. So he'll be able to perform
the ordination this afternoon?Copy !req
302. - What?
- That's where we were headedCopy !req
303. when he became ill in the car.Copy !req
304. One of the kids that he baptized
at his first parishCopy !req
305. is being ordained as a priest today.Copy !req
306. Where do you think you're going?Copy !req
307. I feel much better.Copy !req
308. Your ABG shows
an oxygen level of 58.Copy !req
309. And your sed rate is 84.Copy !req
310. Eighty-four. Is that good?Copy !req
311. No, it's not good!
It's an indication of active lupus!Copy !req
312. Stop buttoning that damn shirt.Copy !req
313. Is Joe still outside? I think I'm gonna
need help getting into these pants.Copy !req
314. You need to be admitted
to the ICU for IV Cytoxan.Copy !req
315. It will only take me a couple of hours.Copy !req
316. If the inflammation
in your lungs continuesCopy !req
317. you won't get enough oxygen
to stay alive.Copy !req
318. If I skip the reception,
I can be back in here by six.Copy !req
319. You'll be dead by six!Copy !req
320. - It's in God's hands.
- God couldn't give a damn!Copy !req

330. Christy and I were having coffee.Copy !req
331. And I insisted
that she bring me down here.Copy !req
332. I'm sorry, but a bunch of us
were beginning to question your existence.Copy !req
333. We were all thinking about getting
together for dinner tonight. You game?Copy !req
334. You know, I don't think I can get off
in time. But thank you for asking.Copy !req
335. I checked your schedule.
You get off at 6:00.Copy !req
336. Don't worry. Nobody bites.Copy !req
337. Chief, can I get you to sign off
on this LOL? Head CT's clear.Copy !req
338. - 7:30?
- Okay.Copy !req
339. - Oh, great. We'll see you then.

on that little party, huh?Copy !req
343. You turned me in?Copy !req
344. This guy from the medical board here
questioning my competency.Copy !req
345. - Don't walk away!
- I'm not walking away.Copy !req
346. I don't wanna have this conversation
in the middle of the lobby.Copy !req
347. He wants to see my medical records.Copy !req
348. He's planning on interviewing
the staff to seeCopy !req
349. if I'm still fit to practicing medicine.
He can pull my license!Copy !req
350. I've been concerned about the changes
in your personality since the surgery.Copy !req
351. I tried to talk to you,
but you've chosen to ignore me.Copy !req
352. - So you call in the licensing board…
- Keep your voice down.Copy !req
353. They cut a tumor out of my head, Kerry.Copy !req
354. I'm sorry if I seem a little
different to you.Copy !req
355. I wouldn't come back to work
if I couldn't do the job.Copy !req
356. - What about the aphasia?
- It's getting better.Copy !req
357. And if you were in an emergency situation,Copy !req
358. and you couldn't think of the name
of the drug you wanted ordered,Copy !req
359. the nurses ask questions
while the patient dies?Copy !req
360. - Nobody's dying!
- You've been insensitiveCopy !req
361. - and argumentative.
- I have not been argumentative!Copy !req
362. You have been shooting from the hip.Copy !req
363. And I'm not the only one
who's expressed concern.Copy !req
364. For the safety of the patients,Copy !req
365. I felt I had to call the board
for an objective assessment.Copy !req
366. I want you to pass,
so that we can all get back to workCopy !req
367. confident in your abilities. Okay?Copy !req
368. Rich people think of all the poor kids
are immunized, then they don't have to be.Copy !req
369. I thought it stopped snowing.Copy !req
370. If everybody stops getting vaccinesCopy !req
371. then smallpox will be back,

Four years old, parents didn't vaccinate.Copy !req
429. - What's all this?
- Med school applications.Copy !req
430. Thinking about starting over?Copy !req
431. Is this your file?Copy !req
432. This black kid applied
and didn't get an interview.Copy !req
433. I went to Records to find out why
and found that.Copy !req
434. - Oh, yeah? Anything interesting?
- Yeah. My file wasn't with the rest.Copy !req
435. It was in the back with three others
filed under AA.Copy !req
436. Affirmative Action.Copy !req
437. - That surprised you?
- Hell, yeah!Copy !req
438. Look, my grades were good.
My MCAT scores were competitive.Copy !req
439. Yeah, but when I compared it
to the other applicantsCopy !req
440. that were accepted that year,
I shouldn't have gotten in.Copy !req
441. You're an excellent physician, Peter.
They were right to let you in.Copy !req
442. Oh, yeah?Copy !req
443. This is the file of the kid that didn't
even get an interview this year.Copy !req
444. William White.Copy !req
445. His grades, his MCAT scores,
they're better than mine were.Copy !req
446. Bishop Stewart?Copy !req
447. Damn it!Copy !req
448. I'm okay.Copy !req
449. How long have you been
having trouble breathing?Copy !req
450. I'm just gathering my strength.Copy !req
451. You have to go to the hospital.Copy !req
452. It's pretty, isn't it?Copy !req
453. The snow.Copy !req
454. So much beauty.Copy !req
455. Where's the phone?
I need to call an ambulance.Copy !req
456. No. Please, I only need a minute.Copy !req
457. You're dying.Copy !req
458. Evidently.Copy !req
459. As I was sitting here, I was reminded
of the night I chose to become a priest.Copy !req
460. I'd been struggling with it
for a long time.Copy !req
461. Several years.Copy !req
462. Anyway, that night, I couldn't sleep.Copy !req
463. So I got up
and went out for a walk…Copy !req
464. …in the woods
behind my father's house.Copy !req
465. It was snowing like it is now.
I don't have any idea how long I walked.Copy !req
466. But at a certain point,Copy !req
467. I suddenly realized
I didn't know which way to go.Copy !req
468. I'd gotten lost. I was frightened.Copy !req
469. As I looked up
into that dark night…Copy !req
470. …he came to me.Copy !req
471. I saw all those millions of snowflakes
drifting down toward me.Copy !req
472. So still.Copy !req
473. So peaceful.Copy !req
474. Perfect.Copy !req
475. And I was filled with the love
of our Lord Jesus Christ.Copy !req
476. Like pouring wine
into an empty glass.Copy !req
477. I'm afraid…Copy !req
478. …I may have wasted my life.Copy !req
479. For some reason, I never
accomplished the things I should have.Copy !req
480. What God wanted of me.Copy !req
481. And now I'm frightened.Copy !req
482. I'm afraid of dying.Copy !req
483. There. I said it.Copy !req
484. I am afraid to die.Copy !req
485. You have to go to the hospital.Copy !req
486. The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not want.Copy !req
487. He maketh me to lie down
in green pastures.Copy !req
488. He leadeth me
beside the still waters.Copy !req
489. Is he all right?Copy !req
490. - No.
- Yes.Copy !req
491. The procession is forming.Copy !req
492. What should I tell them?Copy !req
493. Tell them…Copy !req
494. …I think I have to skip
the processional.Copy !req
495. When did you lose your faith?Copy !req
496. I've found with most people,
it comes and goes.Copy !req
497. Like intimacy in a relationship.Copy !req
498. Sometimes it's so strong,
a passion, rapture.Copy !req
499. And then at other times
it's impossible, distant, lost.Copy !req
500. But that's not God. That's us.Copy !req
501. We put up our own barriers
with our egos…Copy !req
502. …and our pain.Copy !req
503. He's always there.Copy !req
504. No matter what.Copy !req
505. Bach.Copy !req
506. I love Bach.Copy !req
507. Well…Copy !req
508. that's my cue.Copy !req
509. So, Kevin, why do you
want to be a doctor?Copy !req
510. I've given that question
a great deal of thought.Copy !req
511. And I think it all boils down
to one thing,Copy !req
512. I really want to help people.Copy !req
513. My dad died of lung cancerCopy !req
514. and I was 12 and I vowed
I would work for a cure.Copy !req
515. My research in molecular biology
has been very rewarding.Copy !req
516. I except we'll see gene therapy
in our lifetime.Copy !req
517. I'm a people person.Copy !req
518. The bottom line is,
I really want to help people.Copy !req
519. I volunteered for the Pediatrics ward.
I'm very empathetic.Copy !req
520. When I saw my kitty suffering like that,
I knew that I had a calling.Copy !req
521. To help people in their time of need.Copy !req
522. And I think you have to combine
humanistic skills…Copy !req
523. With a passion
for making a difference.Copy !req
524. And I really just wanna help people.Copy !req
525. - I just wanna help people.
- I wanna help people.Copy !req
526. Help people.Copy !req
527. How dare you? Damn it, Kerry!
They sawed off half his skull.Copy !req
528. They inserted high-dosage chemotherapy
wafers into the empty cavity.Copy !req
529. It caused temporary swelling
right next to Broca's.Copy !req
530. Of course he had a little aphasia.
But that was six weeks ago.Copy !req
531. The swelling's gone down,
and he's back to normal.Copy !req
532. If anything, I find his honesty
rather refreshing.Copy !req
533. We could all do with a little more
candor around here.Copy !req
534. Candidly speaking then, are you sure
that you can be objective about this?Copy !req
535. Of course, I'm not objective!Copy !req
536. Look, I've been with him every moment,
and I can tell youCopy !req
537. he's making remarkable progress
and is no danger to anyone.Copy !req
538. Except perhaps easily threatened,
minor demigods.Copy !req
539. He may be endangering patients.Copy !req
540. I'm not unsympathetic
to his circumstancesCopy !req
541. but I have larger responsibilities.Copy !req
542. It's despicable, and you should be
ashamed of yourself.Copy !req
543. I hope that you end up with a possibly
fatal illness one day, KerryCopy !req
544. so that I can do absolutely
nothing to help you.Copy !req
545. What was that about?Copy !req
546. Oh, some days I really hate this job.Copy !req
547. Well, you, me and everyone else
around here. Are you ready?Copy !req
548. - Dinner?
- Right.Copy !req
549. Yes. I just have to drop this off.Copy !req
550. - You still got that leg lac.
- I'm on it.Copy !req
551. Get there by Easter,
would you please!Copy !req
552. Yeah, yeahCopy !req
553. - Hey, Malik?
- Yeah?Copy !req
554. - Is this the measles kid's film?
- Yeah, Woodman.Copy !req
555. How come it didn't go up
to the PICU with him?Copy !req
556. - I'll take it up.
- No, that's all right. I'll do it.Copy !req
557. I want to check on him anyway.Copy !req
558. Phi Beta Kappa, Yale.
GPA's 3.95.Copy !req
559. MCATs in the 97th percentile.Copy !req
560. - Yeah, sure.
- Peter?Copy !req
561. And Carpenter.
University of Georgia.Copy !req
562. Wait, was this the geek in the Smashing
Pumpkins T-shirt, with the lisp?Copy !req
563. - Sarah. Redhead, glasses.
- Oh. Yeah. Right.Copy !req
564. GPA, 3.79. 94th percentile
on the MCATs.Copy !req
565. - Finalist for the Falsberg Science Award.
- Whatever that is. We've got better.Copy !req
566. Peter?Copy !req
567. No.Copy !req
568. Okay, that's it for today.
We are recommendingCopy !req
569. two to the full committee
and rejecting 14.Copy !req
570. Great. I still might make it home
in time for SportsCenter.Copy !req
571. There is another candidate
I'd like to discuss.Copy !req
572. - William White.
- Who?Copy !req
573. His MCAT scores were only
in the 91st percentileCopy !req
574. but his GPA was 3.80,
and he was class president.Copy !req
575. - Wait, I don't see him on the list.
- We didn't grant him an interview.Copy !req
576. I met with him today and he asked me
to reconsider his application.Copy !req
577. Oh, no. Is this that whiner
I told you to get rid of?Copy !req
578. - Where did he go to school?
- University of Illinois, Chicago.Copy !req
579. My gardener could have
gotten a 3.8 at the U of ICopy !req
580. and he had his head was run over
by an ice cream truck as a kid.Copy !req
581. I went to the University of Illinois.Copy !req
582. His MCATs are well below
our admission standards, Peter.Copy !req
583. MCATs don't predict
how good a doctor you'll be.Copy !req
584. Just what you do
the first two years of school.Copy !req
585. - This kid is bright. He's dedicated…
- He's black.Copy !req
586. Yeah, he's black.Copy !req
587. Affirmative action's
against the law, Peter.Copy !req
588. Well, you know what, we didn't interview
one black or Latino candidate today.Copy !req
589. We have a colorblind admission policy.Copy !req
590. If he was good enough to get in,
he would've been here.Copy !req
591. Minority kids don't have the same
access to academic opportunities.Copy !req
592. You want to address that by advancing
underqualified applicantsCopy !req
593. at the expense
of our integrity and theirs?Copy !req
594. I want him to have an interview.Copy !req
595. Clear.Copy !req
596. - Still V-fib.
- What happened?Copy !req
597. Hypoxia, bradyed down to 20,
then he arrested.Copy !req

604. Lidocaine, amiodarone and dopamine.
You got any other ideas?Copy !req
605. Hold compressions.Copy !req
606. Vicki is dating guys now,
and Carol is getting married to one.Copy !req
607. Oh, both of these women marched in every
gay-pride parade for the past 15 years.Copy !req
608. - I don't get it.
- I do.Copy !req
609. You get society's blessing,
your family's…Copy !req
610. Survivor benefits, tax breaks.Copy !req
611. And all you gotta do
is lay there a few times a week.Copy !req
612. - I'm sorry. We're not usually this bad.
- Oh.Copy !req
613. - It's okay.
- Hey…Copy !req
614. do you realize that everyone
at this table has slept with Kim?Copy !req
615. - Oh, my God!
- Cut it out, you guys.Copy !req
616. I bet she brought a U-Haul
on your second date, right?Copy !req
617. I don't understand.Copy !req
618. It's a lesbian joke. A bad one.Copy !req
619. Do you want another drink?Copy !req
620. No. Actually, I gotta go.
I have an early shift tomorrow.Copy !req
621. - Kerry…
- It was really…Copy !req
622. It was really nice to meet you both.Copy !req
623. - Wait. Are you upset?
- No.Copy !req
624. Well, why are you leaving, then?Copy !req
625. I don't belong here.
I don't belong here.Copy !req
626. I dated Christy in college.
Kate and I dated for maybe a month…Copy !req
627. It's not that. This isn't me.Copy !req
628. I mean, my experience,
the jokes, your friends.Copy !req
629. I'm… I care about you.Copy !req
630. I'm not interested
in adopting a lifestyle.Copy !req
631. Wow, I can't believe
you just said that.Copy !req
632. I'll call you later.Copy !req
633. Just drive.Copy !req
634. Dr. Kovac.Copy !req
635. I was helping him off
with his dolman.Copy !req
636. He was very short of breath,
and he just collapsed.Copy !req
637. Oh, God!Copy !req
638. Bishop Stewart, can you hear me?Copy !req
639. Call 911. Tell them we have a man
with impending respiratory arrest.Copy !req
640. Mark?Copy !req
641. Mark, you home?Copy !req
642. Mark?Copy !req
643. Mark.Copy !req
644. Are you okay?Copy !req
645. He recommended
formal competency testing.Copy !req
646. Psychiatrists, neuropsychologists,
MRI, personality tests…Copy !req
647. It's gonna take five days.Copy !req
648. I'm so sorry.Copy !req
649. The good times just keep coming.Copy !req
650. Luka?Copy !req
651. What are you doing?Copy !req
652. I couldn't find a forest.Copy !req
653. What?Copy !req
654. You brought Bishop Stewart back in?Copy !req
655. How's he doing?Copy !req
656. He's dying.Copy !req
657. He might surprise you.Copy !req
658. We get enough miracles around here.
Why not one more?Copy !req
659. I'm freezing.Copy !req
660. - Ready to go home?
- Yeah.Copy !req
