1. You had a blast.
Copy !req
2. I didn't say
it wasn't fun,
Copy !req
3. but that decade
was a crime against fashion.
Copy !req
4. Tonight's club
is my pick, my vibe.
Copy !req
5. Ooh, which is?
Copy !req
6. Sophisticated ladies.
Copy !req
7. I can work with that.
Copy !req
8. Shaun?
Hmm?
Copy !req
9. Sure you don't feel
left out?
Copy !req
10. I use the time to study
less invasive
Copy !req
11. bowel resection
techniques.
Copy !req
12. Please be home by 11:30.
Copy !req
13. Hm.
Copy !req
14. He's got you on
a curfew?
Copy !req
15. Sex schedule.
Our window
ends at midnight.
Copy !req
16. It's like I slept
on gravel.
Copy !req
17. Well, that explains
your snoring.
Copy !req
18. Your mattress
should be burned.
Copy !req
19. It's time to end
the sleepovers
Copy !req
20. and for you to ditch
the bachelor pad.
Copy !req
21. You asking me
to move into your place?
Copy !req
22. I'm asking you to move
into a new place...
Copy !req
23. With me.
Copy !req
24. No neutral zone
to run to after a fight.
Copy !req
25. Making up's
the best part.
Copy !req
26. Well, it can't hurt to look.
Copy !req
27. This is Trent,
his mother, Carrie.
Copy !req
28. Signs of severe infection
on his left index finger.
Copy !req
29. I'm ordering a CT.
Copy !req
30. Sutures are inconsistent
and crude.
Copy !req
31. It's a minor upgrade.
Copy !req
32. I installed a magnet
in my finger.
Copy !req
33. Were you having trouble
holding forks?
Copy !req
34. It's body art.
Copy !req
35. Yeah, he's 17,
immune to common sense.
Copy !req
36. Art seems like
a poor descriptor
Copy !req
37. given the ugliness
of the infection.
Copy !req
38. The more appropriate term
is "biohacking."
Copy !req
39. I put Neosporin on it and took
ibuprofen for the swelling.
Copy !req
40. That's worked before.
Copy !req
41. Before?
Copy !req
42. Show them.
Copy !req
43. Hmm.
Copy !req
44. You wanted to see me?
Copy !req
45. Dr. Glassman,
this is Kayla Quinn.
Copy !req
46. She's been diagnosed
with major depressive
disorder
Copy !req
47. as well as chronic
neuropathic pain
Copy !req
48. from a neck injury
six years ago.
Copy !req
49. The pain and depression
are besties,
Copy !req
50. uninvited guests
that travel together,
Copy !req
51. make it so I can't work,
can't get out of bed,
Copy !req
52. can't even think.
Copy !req
53. That's why I'd like to do this
before their next visit.
Copy !req
54. An anterior cingulotomy
seems like the...
Copy !req
55. Excuse me.
Copy !req
56. She is a smart,
charming, successful
woman whose life...
Copy !req
57. Nice ambush.
Copy !req
58. She's had over a decade
of therapy,
Copy !req
59. five classes
of anti-depressants,
Copy !req
60. and non-invasive
neuro-modulation,
Copy !req
61. including C.E.S.
and full-on E.C.T.
Copy !req
62. She's desperate
for real relief
Copy !req
63. from her pain
and depression,
Copy !req
64. and she's well aware
of the risks.
Copy !req
65. Get me a complete medical
and psychological history
Copy !req
66. and a couple of residents.
Copy !req
67. We're just gonna
talk about it.
Copy !req
68. Not sure who's
struggling more,
Copy !req
69. the overwhelmed,
super-critical mom
Copy !req
70. or the sad,
self-harming teen.
Copy !req
71. Trent called it
an upgrade.
Copy !req
72. He's not trying to self-harm,
he is trying to self-improve.
Copy !req
73. Well, whatever
the terminology,
Copy !req
74. he cut into his finger
with an X-ACTO knife.
Copy !req
75. Okay. His technique
was primitive,
Copy !req
76. but considering
he lacks formal training
Copy !req
77. and used only one hand,
I am impressed.
Copy !req
78. Don't be.
Copy !req
79. Bony marginal erosion.
Copy !req
80. If the infection spreads,
he could lose that finger.
Copy !req
81. For starters.
Copy !req
82. It's the modern equivalent
of a lobotomy.
Copy !req
83. "Modern" being
the operative word.
Copy !req
84. We'd be burning lesions
into a key brain center.
Copy !req
85. That could alter
her personality,
Copy !req
86. impair
cognitive function...
Copy !req
87. Her depression
and reoccurring
acute pain
Copy !req
88. are already doing that.
Copy !req
89. Cingulotomies are effective
in 67% of patients
Copy !req
90. with Kayla's symptoms.
Copy !req
91. With a 20% chance
of adverse effects,
Copy !req
92. like loss of creativity,
it could be a big deal.
Copy !req
93. This is Kayla Quinn.
Copy !req
94. She launched
her own company
at the age of 18,
Copy !req
95. made millions designing
scrunchies and bangles.
Copy !req
96. I discussed this
with her.
Copy !req
97. Her focus
is quality of life.
Copy !req
98. Now, I'm sure
she feels that way now,
Copy !req
99. but once it's done,
it can't be undone.
Copy !req
100. Are there any alternatives
that Kayla hasn't tried
Copy !req
101. or should try again?
Copy !req
102. Okay.
Copy !req
103. Let's do the surgery.
Copy !req
104. Wait, possible amputation?
Copy !req
105. The infection
Copy !req
106. is in the bone
beneath the magnet.
Copy !req
107. It would have been better to
have brought him in sooner.
Copy !req
108. I'm a single mom.
Copy !req
109. Trent... Trent's father
isn't in the picture.
Copy !req
110. You made sure of that.
Copy !req
111. I got divorced last year.
Copy !req
112. Trent and I
were adjusting.
Copy !req
113. But then he started
hanging out with
these idiot biohackers.
Copy !req
114. Thanks, Mom.
Copy !req
115. We should remove
the infected implant
Copy !req
116. and start Trent
on IV antibiotics.
Copy !req
117. What about
the other implants?
Copy !req
118. Shouldn't you
take them all out?
Copy !req
119. No! The other implants
aren't infected.
Copy !req
120. Okay. This is not a decision
you get to make.
Copy !req
121. Once a patient is 16,
it is hospital policy
Copy !req
122. not to perform a surgery
that's been refused
Copy !req
123. unless that surgery is
medically necessary.
Copy !req
124. Leaving in
the other implants
Copy !req
125. means Trent's still
at risk for sepsis
and septic emboli.
Copy !req
126. Dr. Wolke is correct.
Copy !req
127. With your consent,
we can physically compel
Copy !req
128. the surgical removal of
all your son's modifications.
Copy !req
129. Good luck.
I'm outta here.
Copy !req
130. Trent.
Copy !req
131. Trent!
Copy !req
132. This is much easier
than chasing him.
Copy !req
133. Head frame is secure.
Copy !req
134. Stand by with
the Gamma knife.
Copy !req
135. Dr. Glassman,
please stop what you're doing.
Copy !req
136. This is Justin Quinn,
Kayla's conservator.
Copy !req
137. I have full authority
over my sister's
medical treatment,
Copy !req
138. and I won't allow
this surgery.
Copy !req
139. Kayla sees
her psychiatrist weekly,
Copy !req
140. and I check in
with her daily,
Copy !req
141. but clearly,
this is not
Copy !req
142. a weekend getaway
at a cabin in Tahoe.
Copy !req
143. A chance e-mail from
our insurance tipped me off.
Copy !req
144. She's never lied
to me like this.
Copy !req
145. I was 12
when my parents died.
Copy !req
146. My memories of them
don't seem real,
Copy !req
147. just clips
from a movie.
Copy !req
148. It was
our grief therapist who first
diagnosed her depression.
Copy !req
149. I was 22
and so out of my depth.
Copy !req
150. Justin and I
used to do
everything together.
Copy !req
151. It was us
against the world.
Copy !req
152. I called him Bro-dad.
Copy !req
153. She was
such a creative kid,
so talented.
Copy !req
154. She just had a vision
and wanted to run with it.
Copy !req
155. Who knew scrunchies
and glitter bangles
could be a business?
Copy !req
156. Just took off.
Copy !req
157. Eighteen years old,
all that money
and no guardrails.
Copy !req
158. She was out of control.
Copy !req
159. Clubs every night,
the booze, the drugs...
Copy !req
160. I couldn't help her.
I couldn't stop her.
Copy !req
161. It was during a blackout that
I fell and injured my neck.
Copy !req
162. Everything just got
worse after that.
Copy !req
163. The arrests piled up,
underage drinking,
possession, DUI.
Copy !req
164. I thought she was
going to prison.
Copy !req
165. The judge agreed to
a diversion program...
Copy !req
166. She's nearly O.D.'d twice.
Copy !req
167. called me
a danger to myself.
Copy !req
168. The judge ruled
she was incompetent.
Copy !req
169. Put my brother in charge
of everything.
Copy !req
170. He took away my life.
Copy !req
171. The conservatorship
saved her life.
Copy !req
172. All I needed
to piss off my parents
Copy !req
173. were fishnets
and heavy eyeliner.
Copy !req
174. Of course
you were a goth.
Copy !req
175. How many times
did you see The Cure?
Copy !req
176. Four.
Copy !req
177. Robert Smith was, like,
leader of our tribe.
Copy !req
178. Every lonely teen
needs a tribe.
Copy !req
179. I was lonely,
but I was not a rebel.
Copy !req
180. My rebellion
was just being honest.
Copy !req
181. My family
preferred the lie.
Copy !req
182. Meanwhile Trent is
damaging his relationship
Copy !req
183. with his mom
and his body.
Copy !req
184. That is not his fault.
Copy !req
185. She is his mother.
Copy !req
186. Mothers should
try to understand
their children.
Copy !req
187. Nice thought,
but teenagers are asses.
Copy !req
188. Scientifically proven.
Copy !req
189. Their prefrontal cortex
is underdeveloped,
Copy !req
190. leading to
excessive risk-taking
Copy !req
191. and lack of impulse control.
Copy !req
192. Margins in
the soft tissue look good,
Copy !req
193. but keep an eye out
for the infection.
Copy !req
194. Let's close.
Copy !req
195. Mr. Quinn.
Copy !req
196. Your sister's suffering.
Copy !req
197. It's a roller coaster
with her,
Copy !req
198. good days and bad days.
Copy !req
199. But your solution is to
fry part of her brain.
Copy !req
200. She could
lose her creativity,
her personality.
Copy !req
201. Her pain,
her depression.
Copy !req
202. Maybe.
Those other doctors
ran me through
Copy !req
203. the risks
and the numbers.
Copy !req
204. What if I could show you
how Kayla's issues are
hard-wired in her brain?
Copy !req
205. An fMRI could demonstrate
how the part of Kayla's brain
Copy !req
206. that handles emotional
and pain response
Copy !req
207. is functionally
abnormal.
Copy !req
208. It'll assure you that
"frying her brain"
Copy !req
209. means only frying
the part of her brain
that isn't working.
Copy !req
210. And it'll get you both
off of the roller coaster.
Copy !req
211. The scan's harmless.
Copy !req
212. Okay, do it.
Copy !req
213. I've got it. Oh, see?
I can spin it around.
Copy !req
214. I need to do
a post-op exam.
Copy !req
215. Oh. You have modifications.
Copy !req
216. I'm Dixie.
Copy !req
217. My right hand got messed up
in a car accident.
Copy !req
218. I had RFID chips put in so
I could unlock my front door,
Copy !req
219. store my medical info,
and do some
pretty cool tricks.
Copy !req
220. Are you attracted
to Dixie?
Copy !req
221. Are you concerned you'll
be less attractive to her
without your implants?
Copy !req
222. We're just friends.
Copy !req
223. I host a monthly
biohacker meet up,
Copy !req
224. and Trent's
become a regular.
Copy !req
225. The only people
who get me.
Copy !req
226. You found your tribe.
Copy !req
227. Incision sites look good.
Right wrist please.
Copy !req
228. It was not
until I came to work
here at St. Bonaventure
Copy !req
229. that I felt like
I was part of a community.
Copy !req
230. I've read about implants
that can operate prosthetics
Copy !req
231. and an
occipital lobe electrode
Copy !req
232. that receives visual images
for sightless people.
Copy !req
233. Oh, these technologies
are very exciting.
Copy !req
234. It's so cool, right?
Copy !req
235. I was thinking I should
be an engineer
Copy !req
236. and I can design tech
for people like Dixie.
Copy !req
237. Oh.
Copy !req
238. How's he recovering,
Dr. Murphy?
Copy !req
239. Hmm, oh, hello.
Copy !req
240. The surgeries went well.
Copy !req
241. Finger looks free of infection
and bacterial cultures
remain negative.
Copy !req
242. We still need to do an MRI
to assess his joints,
but I'm optimistic.
Copy !req
243. Great. Then once I'm 18,
I can get all my mods back in
Copy !req
244. by the pros who did Dixie's.
Copy !req
245. Meaning the tattoo artist
at the strip mall.
Copy !req
246. Tattoo parlors require
a public health permit.
Copy !req
247. Yes, that would be
much safer than
doing it himself.
Copy !req
248. Rain check for tonight.
Copy !req
249. Surgery?
Copy !req
250. A new patient reminded me
I need to spend more time
on my business ideas,
Copy !req
251. less time on the dance floor.
Copy !req
252. I see a sparkle in your eyes.
What is the product?
Copy !req
253. My ingestible sensor
that monitors gut bacteria
Copy !req
254. as it travels through
the GI tract.
Copy !req
255. Gross yet cool.
Copy !req
256. How are you gonna
collect the data?
Copy !req
257. Ideally,
real-time monitoring.
Copy !req
258. I'm looking at wireless
open-source programs.
Copy !req
259. You could
connect the sensor
Copy !req
260. with a smartphone
via Bluetooth.
Copy !req
261. That would be amazing.
Copy !req
262. But that code would be pretty
complicated to write.
Copy !req
263. Not for... me.
Copy !req
264. You'd have time for that
on top of your IT work?
Copy !req
265. Says the second-year
resident looking to disrupt
the med-tech business.
Copy !req
266. Ah.
Copy !req
267. I wouldn't be able to pay you,
at least not up front.
Copy !req
268. We could divvy up
the spoils.
Copy !req
269. 75%, 25% final offer.
Copy !req
270. Hell yes, partner.
Copy !req
271. Welcome aboard.
Copy !req
272. Put this
on your calendar...
Copy !req
273. May 2025,
yacht shopping.
Copy !req
274. Okay.
Yes!
Copy !req
275. Dr. Murphy?
Copy !req
276. Please stop
encouraging Trent.
Copy !req
277. Your interest
in his body modifications
Copy !req
278. comes across
as an endorsement.
Copy !req
279. Oh, I am interested.
Copy !req
280. Why would I pretend
that I'm not?
Copy !req
281. Not so long ago,
we were talking about
amputating fingers.
Copy !req
282. Someone has to talk
some sense into my son
before he does this again.
Copy !req
283. I'm happy to have
a chat with him.
Copy !req
284. He seems to connect
with Dr. Murphy.
Copy !req
285. If you talk to him,
he might listen.
Copy !req
286. I... would not be
very good at that.
Copy !req
287. Kayla,
next I'm gonna ask you
a series of prompts
Copy !req
288. to help us map
your brain activity.
Copy !req
289. I'll do my best.
Copy !req
290. Think of a nice memory.
Copy !req
291. Something from
a happy time.
Copy !req
292. You didn't like any
of the apartments
I sent you?
Copy !req
293. As predicted,
altered limbic activity
Copy !req
294. in the connections
to the cingulate cortex.
Copy !req
295. The apartments
are okay.
Copy !req
296. I'm shocked you're
so easy to please.
Copy !req
297. You're such a quibbler.
Copy !req
298. "Hate art deco."
"Low ceilings equal doom."
Copy !req
299. "Berber carpets
hurt my feet."
Copy !req
300. Well...
Copy !req
301. Kayla, now I need you to think
of an unpleasant memory.
Copy !req
302. Take it as a compliment
that I'm so picky.
Copy !req
303. Picky's fine,
passive not so much.
Copy !req
304. Send me some links.
Copy !req
305. More abnormal connectivity.
Copy !req
306. We're getting
motion artifacts.
Copy !req
307. She's moving around.
Copy !req
308. Kayla, can you try
and hold still?
Copy !req
309. I'm sorry.
Can we please stop?
Copy !req
310. Kayla? Where does it hurt?
Mm-hmm?
Copy !req
311. Everywhere.
Copy !req
312. It's back.
Copy !req
313. You never came to bed.
Copy !req
314. We were supposed to have sex.
Copy !req
315. Sorry.
Copy !req
316. Our sensor keeps
running out of power
Copy !req
317. halfway through
the digestive tract.
Copy !req
318. It's not on the schedule,
but we could have sex now.
Copy !req
319. I have to shower.
Copy !req
320. I shower first.
Copy !req
321. Okay. I will be flexible
and make you coffee.
Copy !req
322. Thank you.
Copy !req
323. Good morning.
Copy !req
324. How's Kayla?
Copy !req
325. In pain and on the edge of
a full depressive episode.
Copy !req
326. I upped her gabapentin
and started a low-dose
ketamine IV.
Copy !req
327. Smart.
Copy !req
328. Hmm.
Copy !req
329. You know we'll have to
get her off the ketamine
Copy !req
330. before we take another shot
at finishing the fMRI.
Copy !req
331. Do you not want to
move in with me?
Copy !req
332. I've been busy.
I have other patients.
Copy !req
333. Allow me to present
multitasking.
Copy !req
334. Look at that.
Three-bedroom,
two-bath,
Copy !req
335. courtyard building
with a pool.
Copy !req
336. We'd have a guest room for
Kellan, a shared office,
Copy !req
337. and it's 10 minutes
from the hospital.
Copy !req
338. Well, looks like
the master bedroom window's
overlooking the courtyard.
Copy !req
339. I know. Nice.
Copy !req
340. Not nice. Loud.
Copy !req
341. Then show me one
you do like.
Copy !req
342. Oh, hell no.
Copy !req
343. I'm gonna
update the brother.
Copy !req
344. You paged me?
Copy !req
345. Good morning, Shaun.
Copy !req
346. Lea and I missed
our sex night.
Copy !req
347. It is not a good morning.
Copy !req
348. Agreed.
Copy !req
349. Mine started with
a distraught mother
Copy !req
350. whose son
you refused to advise
against biohacking?
Copy !req
351. What he chooses to do
when he is 18 is up to him.
Copy !req
352. True, but you
could advise him
Copy !req
353. against the dangers
of further mods.
Copy !req
354. Trent enjoys
the connections
he has made
Copy !req
355. in the biohacking
community.
Copy !req
356. You really think
the emotional benefits
of belonging
Copy !req
357. outweigh
the physical dangers
for this kid?
Copy !req
358. Teens do many
dangerous things.
Copy !req
359. If he injured himself
skateboarding,
Copy !req
360. should I advise him never
to skateboard again,
Copy !req
361. which could alienate him from
his skateboarder friends?
Copy !req
362. Is there a potential
for medical harm?
Copy !req
363. Yes.
Copy !req
364. Then remind
your patient of that.
Copy !req
365. You have no trouble
being honest.
Copy !req
366. I'll do it, only
because you're my boss.
Copy !req
367. Case in point.
Copy !req
368. Justin's refusing to let me
finish Kayla's fMRI.
Copy !req
369. He thinks her being
in the hospital
Copy !req
370. is what triggered
this latest episode.
Copy !req
371. He...
He's totally dug in.
Copy !req
372. It's a judgment call.
Legally, it's his judgment.
Copy !req
373. I need you to talk to him,
get him to change his mind.
Copy !req
374. Because?
You're the surgeon.
Copy !req
375. If medicine could
persuade him,
Copy !req
376. we'd be in
surgery right now.
Copy !req
377. So I should just
give up?
Copy !req
378. I don't know.
Do you want to?
Copy !req
379. No!
Okay, then don't.
Copy !req
380. Go find another tactic.
Copy !req
381. Okay.
Copy !req
382. No, no, no.
I do the surgery,
you do the selling.
Copy !req
383. Okay, fine.
Copy !req
384. Look at it this way.
Copy !req
385. The brother has been
cleaning up after his sister
for years, right?
Copy !req
386. So instead of trying
to change his feelings
about the surgery,
Copy !req
387. maybe change his feelings
about his sister.
Copy !req
388. Future modifications
could result in sepsis,
Copy !req
389. severe arthritis,
pseudo-tumor formation,
nerve damage and paralysis.
Copy !req
390. Suddenly you're a guy
in a drug commercial...
Copy !req
391. "Side effects include
insomnia, rash,
dry cough, and death."
Copy !req
392. Sounds like
my mom got to you.
Copy !req
393. She tried.
Copy !req
394. It didn't work,
but then she went
to my boss.
Copy !req
395. That did work.
Copy !req
396. I think that it is nice
your mother cares about you.
Copy !req
397. Mine did not.
Copy !req
398. Mine used to.
Copy !req
399. My dad used to
travel a lot for work.
Copy !req
400. He was always off
pitching to investors,
conferences in Vegas.
Copy !req
401. And me and my mom
would hang out
all the time.
Copy !req
402. Every weekend,
she would take me
to the Boardwalk.
Copy !req
403. Never said no,
no matter how many times
Copy !req
404. I wanted to
ride the Cyclone.
Copy !req
405. The Cyclone
made me nauseous.
Copy !req
406. Now she's just
working all the time.
Copy !req
407. And whenever
we're together,
she's angry.
Copy !req
408. Never stops nagging me.
Copy !req
409. She doesn't
like you biohacking.
Copy !req
410. I don't think she'd like
anything I do.
Copy !req
411. Ohh, aah.
Copy !req
412. Is it your finger?
Copy !req
413. No, it's my wrist.
Copy !req
414. Kayla's biggest trigger
isn't being in the hospital,
Copy !req
415. it's your control
over her life.
Copy !req
416. I reviewed her
history in detail,
Copy !req
417. and over
the last five years,
Copy !req
418. Kayla's major depressive
episodes coincide
Copy !req
419. with major
life decisions
Copy !req
420. that you've made
on her behalf...
Copy !req
421. Changing meds
and moving homes,
Copy !req
422. making decisions
for the business.
Copy !req
423. You're saying
this is all my fault.
Copy !req
424. She's saying that being
in charge of my own life
would be better for me.
Copy !req
425. Until you get drunk or O.D.
Copy !req
426. That was years ago.
I'm not that person
anymore.
Copy !req
427. Because I've been
protecting you.
Copy !req
428. Because
the conservatorship works.
Copy !req
429. That argument means
I'll be in this forever.
Copy !req
430. If I'm doing well,
it proves you right.
Copy !req
431. If I'm a mess,
proves you right.
Copy !req
432. I'm tired of this, Justin.
Copy !req
433. I'm tired
of living the life
that you want me to.
Copy !req
434. You pick out my doctors,
you search my cabinets,
Copy !req
435. you test my urine
for drugs.
Copy !req
436. We can talk about relaxing
some of those things.
Copy !req
437. No! No.
Copy !req
438. I'm done negotiating
over my own life,
Copy !req
439. of having what
you think is best
rammed down my throat.
Copy !req
440. Kayla...
Think acting
like this is gonna
Copy !req
441. change my mind
about the surgery?
Copy !req
442. It shouldn't have to.
It's my life!
Copy !req
443. It's my messed-up brain!
Copy !req
444. This place is bad for you.
I need her discharge papers.
Copy !req
445. Stop telling her what to do!
Stop telling everyone
what to do!
Copy !req
446. Kayla, please...
Shut up!
Copy !req
447. I need 10 milligrams
of Haloperidol.
Copy !req
448. Stop it. Shut up.
Copy !req
449. The LED light
you've installed
in your right wrist
Copy !req
450. has irreversibly
damaged the joint.
Copy !req
451. You will never
regain full function
in your hand.
Copy !req
452. You'll need
physical therapy
Copy !req
453. until you can compensate with
your non-dominant hand.
Copy !req
454. Damn it, Trent.
How many times
did I tell you?
Copy !req
455. Thousands, okay?
Copy !req
456. But I'm such an idiot,
and I never listened.
Copy !req
457. I never said
you were an idiot.
Copy !req
458. I said to stop
hurting yourself.
Copy !req
459. Maybe some
family counseling
could help?
Copy !req
460. No, she's the only one
who needs counseling.
Copy !req
461. She's the one
who failed as a parent.
Copy !req
462. Your choices
are not my fault.
Copy !req
463. But I'm stuck
with yours.
Copy !req
464. Like how you
tossed Dad out.
Copy !req
465. He walked out on us.
Copy !req
466. I didn't want you
to hate him.
Copy !req
467. I hadn't realized that
the alternative was hating me.
Copy !req
468. Your father
was a schemer.
Copy !req
469. He kept flitting from one
big idea to the next,
Copy !req
470. chasing fantasies instead of
taking care of responsibility.
Copy !req
471. That's a lie.
You're a liar.
Copy !req
472. He was a self-absorbed
narcissist
Copy !req
473. who cared more
about himself than us.
Copy !req
474. That's not true!
Trent...
Copy !req
475. Leave me alone!
Get out!
Copy !req
476. Get out!
Copy !req
477. Lidocaine to numb you.
Copy !req
478. I figured you'd want me
to feel every stitch.
Copy !req
479. I'm used to being
the bad guy.
Copy !req
480. Bad guys don't
give up their lives
Copy !req
481. to care for
their little sisters.
Copy !req
482. Thanks for seeing that.
Copy !req
483. You feel that?
Copy !req
484. People idealize
what it's like
being a kid,
Copy !req
485. but, really,
childhood blows.
Copy !req
486. Being told what to do,
Copy !req
487. where to go,
how to behave.
Copy !req
488. Spoken like someone
who had a terrible childhood.
Copy !req
489. It wasn't my wheelhouse,
or my parents'.
Copy !req
490. Kayla's first try
at growing up,
she flamed out.
Copy !req
491. Doesn't she deserve
a second shot?
Copy !req
492. Maybe.
Copy !req
493. Leave it to Kayla to choose
elective brain surgery
for a maiden voyage.
Copy !req
494. Scares the crap
out of me.
Copy !req
495. Tell her that.
Copy !req
496. Jerome's
birthday is coming up.
Copy !req
497. I need to find him
a great gift.
Copy !req
498. Please don't distract me.
Copy !req
499. I am looking for a surgical
solution for Trent's wrist.
Copy !req
500. That's valiant,
but he's about
to be discharged.
Copy !req
501. I need a gift that says
"I'm really into you,"
Copy !req
502. but, mm,
without overdoing it.
Copy !req
503. We could attempt
a partial wrist fusion.
Copy !req
504. Not for another year.
Trent's still growing.
Copy !req
505. Jordan mentioned
you have some super cute
race car pajamas.
Copy !req
506. I could get
Jerome a pair.
Copy !req
507. They are classic cars,
and I'd prefer not to discuss
my sleepwear at work.
Copy !req
508. We could give Trent
a course of Methotrexate
to combat...
Copy !req
509. He'll adjust
to the bad wrist.
Copy !req
510. The bigger problem
is that mother and son
Copy !req
511. act like they
hate each other.
Copy !req
512. I have no idea how
to fix that.
Copy !req
513. He's managing
his feelings by turning
himself into a cyborg.
Copy !req
514. Trent is not
becoming a cyborg...
Copy !req
515. But maybe he could!
Copy !req
516. I can fix Trent's wrist.
Copy !req
517. This experimental surgery
uses a customized implant
to replace his wrist joint.
Copy !req
518. He will have
full use of his wrist.
Copy !req
519. Also, he will
be very happy,
Copy !req
520. because he'll have
a one-of-a-kind
body modification.
Copy !req
521. E-Experimental?
Copy !req
522. Would it be covered by
our insurance?
Copy !req
523. Mm, n-no.
Copy !req
524. I-It is quite expensive.
Copy !req
525. Which means I'm getting
a second mortgage
to pay for it.
Copy !req
526. If Trent keeps getting
other modifications,
Copy !req
527. could that cause problems
with this device?
Copy !req
528. Yes, his body could
reject the implant.
Copy !req
529. Okay, but...
Thank you...
Copy !req
530. Trent should
be able to follow
the post-op regimen,
Copy !req
531. including
no further modifications.
Copy !req
532. Or he'll keep seeing it
as a cool hobby
Copy !req
533. which allows him
to stick it to his terrible
and controlling mother.
Copy !req
534. I can fix
your son's wrist...
Copy !req
535. with your consent.
Copy !req
536. No.
Copy !req
537. Looks like our sensor's
gonna poop out
before it gets pooped out.
Copy !req
538. Maybe if we take another look
at the component specs.
Copy !req
539. I have drawn up
a list of house rules
that apply to Dr. Allen
Copy !req
540. when she is working
at our apartment.
Copy !req
541. One, no work
on scheduled sex nights.
Copy !req
542. I can get down
with that.
Copy !req
543. Two, no brushing teeth
in the kitchen sink.
Copy !req
544. Agreed.
Copy !req
545. Three, do not wear perfume.
Copy !req
546. Four, do not speak
in a loud voice.
Copy !req
547. Five, please avoid
eye contact.
Copy !req
548. Shaun...
I'm not finished.
Copy !req
549. Avoid eye contact?
Mm...
Copy !req
550. Yes.
Copy !req
551. Shaun, do you not like
having me at your apartment?
Copy !req
552. I don't like having
anyone other than Lea
at the apartment.
Copy !req
553. With Lea, I feel safe.
Copy !req
554. I am not obligated to
follow the guidelines
around social interactions.
Copy !req
555. By the time
I'm done with work,
Copy !req
556. I have had enough
of following guidelines.
Copy !req
557. Shaunie, I never knew.
Copy !req
558. We can work
someplace else.
Copy !req
559. The apartment
is half Lea's.
Copy !req
560. I am very happy
she has found
a friend and partner.
Copy !req
561. Dr. Allen...
Copy !req
562. you are part
of my tribe.
Copy !req
563. You are welcome
in our home.
Copy !req
564. As long as you
follow the rules,
including,
Copy !req
565. six, I am allowed
to ignore you
when you are there.
Copy !req
566. Does it ever feel to you like
we go round and round,
Copy !req
567. but we always find our way
back to this same, sad place?
Copy !req
568. I remember when we
first got here.
Copy !req
569. You were 12
Copy !req
570. on a school field trip
to the Municipal Garden.
Copy !req
571. And I got there
and watched you
sketch roses.
Copy !req
572. So confident,
Copy !req
573. at peace,
Copy !req
574. innocent.
Copy !req
575. Then I had to tell you
Mom and Dad were dead.
Copy !req
576. I swore that I'd do
everything I could
Copy !req
577. to keep you from being hurt
like that again.
Copy !req
578. I know you're just
trying to protect me.
Copy !req
579. I'm protecting me, too.
Copy !req
580. I've been so scared
that I could lose you.
Copy !req
581. During the fMRI,
Dr. Reznick asked me
to think of a happy memory.
Copy !req
582. Silvertop, Nevada.
Copy !req
583. Yeah.
Copy !req
584. You and me on that river
in the canoe.
Copy !req
585. That cabin
was such a dump.
Copy !req
586. It was.
Copy !req
587. And we were only there
'cause I screwed up
Copy !req
588. and forgot to sign you up
for that camp.
Copy !req
589. Camp Capistrano.
Copy !req
590. Yeah.
Copy !req
591. That was the first summer
after Mom and Dad died.
Copy !req
592. You had an excuse.
Copy !req
593. That was a good trip.
Copy !req
594. Best vacation
I ever had.
Copy !req
595. I want that again.
Copy !req
596. We can always go back.
Copy !req
597. Not the trip.
Copy !req
598. The freedom,
Copy !req
599. that happiness
Copy !req
600. without the next bout
of pain and depression
landing over me.
Copy !req
601. This is my chance.
Copy !req
602. Please let me take it.
Copy !req
603. Okay.
Copy !req
604. I'm dying to take
this next step with you.
Copy !req
605. Says the guy who's
sandbagging the search.
Copy !req
606. It's the money.
Copy !req
607. Between
Kellan's college tuition
and my med school debt,
Copy !req
608. there's not much left
at the end of the month.
Copy !req
609. And on top of that
Copy !req
610. my credit's a mess.
Copy !req
611. This is just
about money?
Copy !req
612. Just?
Copy !req
613. If you can't afford it,
I got you.
Copy !req
614. I pay my own way.
Always have, always will.
Copy !req
615. Your financial issues
are no reason to put
our plans on hold.
Copy !req
616. An easy thing to say
when you've never had
to worry about money,
Copy !req
617. but some of us have had to
live in the real world.
Copy !req
618. And if you had
the money and I didn't,
Copy !req
619. you wouldn't want to
improve both our situations?
Copy !req
620. This isn't about
the real world.
Copy !req
621. It's about your pride.
Copy !req
622. I have your prescriptions
and therapy referrals.
Copy !req
623. I can do it.
Copy !req
624. Then do it.
Copy !req
625. I'm guessing this
is my fault, as well.
Copy !req
626. Okay.
Copy !req
627. The way you behave
is very confusing
and frustrating.
Copy !req
628. It doesn't make sense at all.
Copy !req
629. You criticize
every choice Trent makes
Copy !req
630. and never ask
why he's making them.
Copy !req
631. See?
Copy !req
632. You deliberately
made choices you knew
Copy !req
633. your mother
wouldn't approve of,
Copy !req
634. and then were very angry
when she didn't approve.
Copy !req
635. Even he thinks you took
your biohacking too far.
Copy !req
636. She's been mad at me
since Dad left.
Copy !req
637. Oh, that's not true.
Yes, it is.
Copy !req
638. You don't like me.
Copy !req
639. You don't
like my friends.
Copy !req
640. I don't understand
your friends.
Copy !req
641. You never tried to.
Copy !req
642. You're just mad at me
because...
Copy !req
643. You're stuck with me.
Copy !req
644. I have been mad,
but not at you,
Copy !req
645. at your father
for leaving.
Copy !req
646. Afraid I couldn't take care
of you or support us.
Copy !req
647. You were so hurt
when your father left.
Copy !req
648. All I wanted to do
was make you feel better,
but I just...
Copy !req
649. I was too damaged
Copy !req
650. and jealous of
your new friends,
Copy !req
651. when I should've
been grateful.
Copy !req
652. But I was afraid of
losing you to them.
Copy !req
653. After all,
you like them.
Copy !req
654. You're my mom.
Copy !req
655. I'm not supposed to
like you.
Copy !req
656. Come here.
Copy !req
657. Can I do the surgery now?
Copy !req
658. You are gonna
like this.
Copy !req
659. Time to prep you
for surgery.
Copy !req
660. Before I go, um...
Copy !req
661. I got a little inspired.
Copy !req
662. I'll hang on to them
for you.
Copy !req
663. Ready?
Copy !req
664. Yeah.
Copy !req
665. Carpal resection
looks good.
Copy !req
666. What did you say
to change Carrie's mind?
Copy !req
667. I'm not sure.
Copy !req
668. I tried to understand them.
Copy !req
669. Maybe you could do
me and my father next.
Copy !req
670. Carpal and radial bones
prepped for the upgrade.
Copy !req
671. I'd say you
get the honors.
Copy !req
672. Resolving conflict
is a crucial skill
for an attending.
Copy !req
673. Nicely done.
Copy !req
674. Placing carpal ball onto
the distal component.
Copy !req
675. For the next few days,
expect some headaches
and fatigue,
Copy !req
676. but the post-op symptoms
should quickly pass.
Copy !req
677. Kayla, how do you feel?
Copy !req
678. Strange.
Copy !req
679. Something's missing.
Copy !req
680. The pain.
Copy !req
681. And I think I'm still me.
Copy !req
682. Bro-dad.
Copy !req
683. We have to
go see a judge.
Copy !req
684. It's time I was just
your brother.
Copy !req
685. The arthroplasty
fixed Trent's wrist
like I said it would.
Copy !req
686. You will need
significant therapy,
Copy !req
687. but your prognosis
is good.
Copy !req
688. And you better
take this seriously.
Copy !req
689. Take your meds,
do your rehab.
Copy !req
690. Invite that friend of yours,
Dixie, over for dinner.
Copy !req
691. Really?
Copy !req
692. Well, she seems
interesting.
Copy !req
693. These are the schematics
of your wrist implant.
Copy !req
694. The engineering specifications
are quite interesting.
Copy !req
695. Thanks, Dr. Murphy.
Copy !req
696. I'm glad my key
still works.
Copy !req
697. It was about my pride.
Copy !req
698. And I used that
as an obstacle,
Copy !req
699. instead of
being honest with you.
Copy !req
700. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
701. It's a big step,
but let's keep talking.
Copy !req
702. I'm sure I'll get
over myself, in time.
Copy !req
703. Can you do it
in a month?
Copy !req
704. Because I found a house
that I love.
Copy !req
705. Gorgeous.
Copy !req
706. Mm.
Copy !req
707. And at that price,
it should be.
Copy !req
708. I would be very grateful
for a studly roommate
Copy !req
709. who could cover
the utility bills.
Copy !req
710. What about rent?
Copy !req
711. I was thinking services
rendered, like...
Copy !req
712. Shirtless lawn mowing,
shirtless pool cleaning,
Copy !req
713. shirtless meal prep.
Copy !req
714. Well, certain studly men
would argue
Copy !req
715. if we don't start on
equal footing,
Copy !req
716. it'll never be
our house.
Copy !req
717. It'll be our home,
because we'll make it that.
Copy !req
718. A pool?
What about a hot tub?
Copy !req
719. Our power issue
is a software issue.
Copy !req
720. Because your data domain
requirements mandate
Copy !req
721. a specific chip that
requires way more power
than we can actually...
Copy !req
722. What if the sensor
had bad manners?
Copy !req
723. Shuts down when
it needs to rest,
Copy !req
724. ignores what
doesn't matter.
Copy !req
725. It works, it rests,
it works, it rests.
Copy !req
726. We could extrapolate
between the data points.
Copy !req
727. That could double
the sensor's life.
Copy !req
728. You're pure
inspiration, Shaun.
Copy !req
729. I am ignoring you.
Copy !req
