- Good morning.
- Morning.
- Reservation?
- Lancaster for two.
- Certainly. Right this way.
- Thanks.
It is so nice to be back in the city.
- Are you visiting?
- No, no. Boston's my home.
Thank you.
- Hello, sweetie.
- Mom.
Traffic was crazy this morning.
Oh, really? I hadn't noticed.
Glad to have you back home.
You know, Walter did want to come,
but his doctor felt that he should rest
just until all the swelling goes down.
Luckily it's just a fracture.
I still can't believe what happened.
Bit much, even for Sully.
Is someone else joining us?
Sorry I'm late.
Hello, gorgeous.
Hi, I didn't know you were coming.
Well, your mother wanted
it to be a surprise.
- I told you she hates surprises.
- What about work?
Honey.
We're in this together, remember?
I've ordered us a round of mimosas.
- (CHUCKLING) A little early for me.
- Oh, nonsense.
My baby girl is home, okay?
We're going to celebrate.
You know what? You should
try the crab Benedict.
- I hear it's incredible.
- Oh, I don't eat crab, remember?
Oh, right. Uh
I think I'm going to have
the nicoise salad maybe.
Okay, good choice.
What's going on?
- I have no idea what you're talking about.
- Mom?
Oh, fine. Tell her before I spoil it.
Uh, all right. (CLEARING THROAT)
I accepted the job here
at Boston Commonwealth.
Isn't that wonderful?
You two can finally
live in the same city.
I I thought you said
they'd rescinded the offer.
They did, but Walter made
a few calls on my behalf.
I was going to wait to tell
you until after the deposition,
but your mother insisted.
I just thought you
needed some good news,
and this is wonderful, isn't it?
Of course.
Should I have waited to tell you?
No, of course not.
Time for a toast.
To new beginnings.
To new beginnings.

Sully?!
Hello?!
Are you in there?!
What?
You were supposed to be at
the store a half hour ago!
I'll be right there.
I have to leave to take
Frank to the doctor, remember?
Are you okay? You're never late.
Can't a man sleep in once in
his life without an inquisition?
I'll be there as soon as I can!
You better have a good explanation
for what you did to Walter.
Will you go away already?!
I'm going, but this
conversation isn't over!

(SLAMMING LID)
He overslept!
Said he'd be here soon.
You give him a chance to explain
before you jump all over him.
He punched a man in the face, Frank.
There's no excuse for that.
We just get Maggie back and
he's driven her away again.
That's not fair.
It's not, I know.
And she'll be back.
I hope so.
And we're going to be late.
We don't have time for this.
Edna, I got it covered.
Okay, fine, but you tell
Sully I want a word with him
when he gets back. Okay.
- And tell Sully I want those hung up.
- Will do.
EDNA: Oh, and mind your numbers!
(SCOFFING)
I'm here for my follow-up lesson.
Or did I mix up the days?
Oh, it's all good.
Can you just give me a
couple minutes, though?
I gotta wait for Sully to get back.
Yeah, sure.
So, what are we doing today?
I thought we could head
over to Morrison's Peak
for the first climb.
Morrison's Peak?
That doesn't sound slow to me.
Yeah, it's just a little hill.
I don't know why they call it that.
We're just going to go over the basics.
Did you draw all these?
Oh.
Are you an artist?
No, um
I just draw to help me relax.
I don't like people looking at them.
Those are great.
I'd kill to have talent like that.
Hey, Sully.
(SIGHING, CLEARING THROAT)
(EXHALING)
(SIGHING)
Where's Edna and Frank?
They left.
You climbing today?
Well, it's a nice day. You
should take the day off.
- I'll handle things.
- Are you sure?
Yeah, get out before I change my mind.
- Oh, uh, Sully.
- What?
Edna told me to tell you
that she wants a word with
you when she gets back.
Is that so?
And she left some stuff
for you on the chair.
(DOOR CLOSING)
(SIGHING)
Subtle, Edna.
♪
Didn't you like your meal?
Just a little tense.
You're not going to have one of
your anxiety attacks, are you?
Maggie used to get them all the
time when she was a little girl.
Really?
Now, the doctors said it's
because she was so driven
- and has such a high IQ
- Mom.
I didn't know you had panic attacks.
WOMAN: I just love this place.
That's just Maryam from
work. Just give me a sec.
I want to say hi.
MARYAM: Yeah, he should support her
Maryam, hey.
Oh, Maggie. Hey.
- I wasn't expecting to see you here.
- Yeah.
How are things at the hospital?
Fine. Thanks for asking.
I'm just here with some friends.
So, if you don't mind.
Right, of course.
Well, it was nice to see you.
Is that the doctor that
misdiagnosed the Markiff boy?
Yeah, and I heard she was
involved in mailing fraud, too.
Everyone is talking
about her at the hospital.
But, you know what? I've actually, um
I actually had my eye
on a place already.
Fantastic! Well, that's
really wonderful to hear.
Did you hear that, Maggie?
I'm sorry. I can't
- Maggie? Maggie!
- Maggie!
(DOOR OPENING)
Morning.
(SIGHING)
Sure is a beautiful day out.
Uh-huh.
Got it.
Need a patch kit.
Found a hole in my tent.
Can't go out camping
like that, now can I?
10$ even.
There you go.
You heard from Maggie?
Uh Will that be all?
Yeah, um
- Thank you.
- Mm-hm.
On second thought.
Maybe we should get started
on one of those projects
you've been wanting to get to.
You know, clean out the eaves troughs
and fixing that faulty burner.
I'd love to, but, uh, I just
I just I really have a ton of things
that I have to do today, so.
You sure? I'm happy to help.
You know, um, if you're
looking for something to do
Why don't you run by
Roy's, check in on him?
Lola said he's been lonely. So.
Yeah, I guess I will just be going.
All right, you have a good day.
(DOOR CLOSING)
Maggie. Wait. Whoa, whoa,
whoa. Please. Please. Honey.
What happened? What happened back there?
I can't do this.
You can't do what?
The looks, the whispering,
this deposition.
It's just It's It's too much.
Hey. No, no, no, no.
It's going to be okay. It's
going to be okay. I promise.
How do you know that?
'Cause it doesn't
matter, whatever happens.
As long as we're together, right?
- Yeah.
- All right?
♪
I think I know something
that's going to cheer you up.
Thank you.
I'll never understand why
you love those things so much.
Comfort food.
How about I book you a massage?
My treat. Just to help you relax?
I just really want to
go home. Go for a run,
but rain check?
Sure, just promise me
you won't overdo it?
We should get back.
Before your mother
calls the national guard.
Tonight, dinner. Just the two of us.
Okay.

(KNOCKING)
- Cal!
- Hey, Roy.
How nice to see you again.
Did I forget that you were coming by?
Not at all. I was wondering,
if you're up for it,
you and me and a game of chess?
Of course! Come on in.
All right.
- (CHUCKLING)
- Sully says hi.
Oh, great.
Oh, and can I offer
you anything to drink?
Lemonade? Uh iced tea?
Lemonade for me, please.
You won last time. I'm
going first this time.
Okay.
If you don't mind me asking,
why do you want to spend your
time with an old codger like me?
I'm sure there's other
people you could be
spending your time with.
- Not at the moment.
- Oh. Well, what about, uh,
Sully's girl, Maggie?
- Is she busy today?
- She's out of town.
Oh, too bad.
Yeah, you two make a cute couple.
Maggie and I are just friends, Roy.
Are you sure?
Didn't seem that way
from where I was sitting.
I may be old, but I'm not blind.
Well, not yet anyway.
Yeah. Positive.
All right, I'm here to play chess, Roy.

(CRYING)
Well played, my friend. Well played.
I call that the Gunderson Gambit.
I really appreciate you coming by.
Well, the pleasure is mine.
It's about time I had a worthy opponent.
Oh, Lola's pretty good, too.
I taught her when she
was just a little girl.
It was the only thing
that could make her smile
after her mother died.
When did she die?
My daughter was
diagnosed with lung cancer
when Lola was only 16.
She didn't want to worry anyone.
So, she didn't tell us
until it was too late.
We didn't even have a
chance to say goodbye.
I'm so sorry.
There are no words to describe
what Lucy and I went through.
And Lola, losing her mother like that
she just
just went through so
much after the accident.
- What accident?
- Oh,
when Lola was seven,
she was hit while out
riding on her bicycle.
Whoever did it didn't
have the decency to stop.
- No one was ever charged?
- No.
(DOOR OPENING)
I'm back!
- Here, let me give you a hand with that.
- Oh!
Was not expecting to see you here.
- Let me give you a hand with those.
- Thank you.
He came by for a game of chess.
That's very sweet.
He thought he could beat
me, but I showed him.
All right, well, uh, I'm
going to get out of here.
It's almost dinner
time. So, I'll see you
We'd love it if you
could join us for dinner.
Right, Grandad?
- Yeah, Lola's an excellent cook.
- No.
She learned that from her grandmother.
I really appreciate it, I do,
but I don't want to intrude.
We insist.
We could have a rematch.
How do I say no to that?
Wonderful. Why don't you
come back in a couple hours?
- See you soon.
- Okay.

Closed? Really, Sully?
Maybe he heard your
truck. Made a run for it.
- Oh, funny.
- (CHUCKLING)
(HAMMERING)
Well, it sounds like
you're healthy enough
to mind the store then. (KISSING)
Where you going?
Where do you think?
Where you going?!
I already know what you're going
say, but he was asking for it.
That online article wasn't enough?
You had to punch one of our guests, too?
That man was no guest, and you know it.
Well, let's hope Walter keeps
what happened to himself!
Oh, what's it matter? It's
not like we got a flood
of customers coming our way.
It matters if he
charges you with assault!
He wouldn't dare.
- Would he?
- I hope not.
Aw, Jesus.
Did you hear from her?
(SIGHING)
God, I really blew this, didn't I?
Yup.
That man always did know
how to push your buttons.
I can't believe I let
him get to me this way.
Sully!
Her car is still here.
Oh, she's just going to
send somebody to get it.
Well, then call her.
She's back in Boston where she belongs.
There's nothing I can say
that's going to bring her back.
- MAGGIE: Thanks for coming.
- WALTER: Yeah, no problem.
That looks painful. Does that hurt?
No, it's just hard to breathe.
Oh, uh, tea, right?
- Yeah, please.
- We don't have to do this right now.
We can wait until you're feeling better.
Nonsense. Your deposition's next week.
Anyway, this won't take long.
But I want to make sure
I'm really prepared.
What for? It's cut and dry.
Doesn't feel like it.
Ah, that's because you overthink things.
My career is on the line.
Everybody feels that the first time.
Trust me, you're going
to forget all about this.
It's, uh It's meaningless. Thank you.
A woman thinks that I killed her son.
It's not meaningless.
All right.
(TAPPING) Come here.
You can't make this personal, Maggie.
Come on, remember what they
taught you in med school.
Don't let your emotions get in the way.
Now this This Mrs.
Markiff, that's her name?
She's a woman in pain,
obviously, I get that,
but she is looking for someone to blame,
because she can't face the fact
it might be her fault.
Didn't you tell me her son drove her car
into that telephone pole? Hm?
Her car.
(HORNS HONKING)
Thank you very much.
Uh, I don't
I don't understand.
- What is all this?
- (CHUCKLING)
(CLEARING THROAT)
We are celebrating.
Celebrating what?
My new job.
I thought we'd do all
this after the deposition.
Come on. Let's have a drink
together. (CORK POPPING)
- You look beautiful.
- (CHUCKLING)
Cheers.
Mm.
Let me give you a hand with all this.
Oh, no. Don't worry about that.
It's okay. Thanks, though.
(SNORING)
- CAL: Chess master's down for the count.
- (CHUCKLING)
Roy really likes you.
Thank you, by the way.
I can't remember the last time I
had a home-cooked meal like that.
There's no one at home
waiting to cook for you?
Mm, nah.
I love how close you are
with your grandfather.
Oh.
I never knew mine, so
it's nice to watch.
My grandparents were the only
family I had after my mom died.
Yeah, Roy was telling me about that.
About your mom. I am so sorry.
That had to be so incredibly hard.
Yeah, yeah. It was.
I don't know what we would have done
if Sully hadn't offered to take
us in during her treatments.
Everything she went through
with the chemo and the radiation.
By the end I didn't even
recognize my own mom.
Having to watch her slip away like that
and knowing that there was nothing
I could do about it was just
I'm sorry.
Hey, it's okay.
It's not the way to
end such a nice evening.
It's fine, really.
Just going to go check on Roy.
- Isn't this place great?
- Mm-hm.
You have got to try these.
(CHUCKLING)
Sea scallops and artichoke hearts.
- Remember?
- Of course.
I've missed this.
Uh, sorry. Be right back.
Are you okay?
Are you sure you don't want
a hand getting Roy up to bed?
Yeah, no. It's okay.
He's just going to wake up
and want to watch TV anyway. So.
Well, thanks again for dinner.
Yeah, of course.
- Goodnight.

There's something I
really need to tell you.
Is there, is there somewhere

You can't be serious.
Let me make this perfectly clear.
I never want to hear from you again.
Let's go, sweetheart.
I wish I'd never met you.
♪
(PHONE RINGING)
Hey.
Hi. Um, I hope it's okay I called.
I just want to let you know
I'm heading into the deposition.
Thought it'd be nice to hear a
friendly voice before I go in.
Yeah. You know, I gotta be honest,
I was a little worried when
you didn't respond to my text.
- Oh, I didn't get any text.
- Really?
MAN: Maggie!
I have to go. Wish me luck.
You're going to be great. You got it.
Just remember what I told
you. Find your centre.
Thanks, Cal.
Hot one today.
You chewing gum?
Yeah, what's it to you?
Hey, did Edna mention
anything about the Rainbow Club
cancelling their booking this year?
They've been coming here
every summer for 12 years.
Not anymore.
♪
The night Kevin Markiff
was brought into the ER,
you were called in for a
consult, is that correct?
- Yes.
- And who were you called in to examine?
- Jamal Patterson.
- Why?
He suffered head trauma in
a motor vehicle accident.
And when did you first
examine Mr. Markiff?
When he started yelling.
Why was Mr. Markiff yelling?
He was in pain.
And what was wrong with Mr. Markiff?
Upon examination it appeared
that he suffered a
compound tibial fracture.
And did you check Mr. Markiff's
pupillary dilation response?
Yes, I did.
Before or after you examined his leg?
I believe it was before.
Dr. Sullivan, do you
know Maryam Roberts?
- Yes.
- And who is she?
She's the head nurse in the ER.
We have a sworn affidavit
from Mrs. Roberts stating that
you did not in fact check
for a pupillary response
before you examined Mr. Markiff's leg.
So, I'll ask you again. Are
you sure that you examined
the pupillary response
before you observed the leg?
May I remind you, Dr.
Sullivan, you are under oath.
Asked and answered.
Dr. Sullivan, I'll ask you again.
Are you sure you checked Mr.
Markiff's pupillary response
before you checked his leg?
I don't know.
Did you order a CT scan?
I ordered an x-ray for his leg.
So, you didn't check
for a pupillary response
and you didn't order a brain scan,
even though you knew Mr. Markiff
had crashed his mother's car
- into a telephone pole?
- I don't recall.
You're badgering my client.
You killed my son and
you don't remember.
I didn't kill anyone.
I think we should take a break.
Can we agree to resume in 10 minutes?
(SCOFFING)
You're doing great.
How can you say that?
I practically admitted I
didn't examine him properly.
Well, trust me, it's going fine.
- Uh, meet you back inside in five.
- Mm-hm.
You okay?

How can you stand to look at yourself?

Well, of course you don't.
I just want you to understand
what it feels like for me
every day waking up to know
that my son is dead,
that someone could have
saved him and didn't.
That's not true. No, I
didn't everything that
I could under the circumstances.
Oh, under the circumstances.
Kevin was no just a
patient, Dr. Sullivan.
He was my only family.

What do you mean?
We're going to trial.
Mrs. Markiff blames me for
taking her son from her.
Can't blame a parent
