Chicago Med (2015) s10e22 Episode Script
...Don't You Cry
1
Dr. Hayes used his hand
to move down my body,
pinning me against the table.
Because this is the first
accusation against him,
his privileges won't be revoked.
I understand how you feel
exactly how you feel.
Dr. Archer is aware
of our family history.
Oh, that we have
a 50/50 chance of inheriting
a cruel and sudden death?
Can't keep hiding from the truth.
We'll face it together.
I'm very sorry to say
we cannot approve you
as a surrogate at this time.
It's something we found
when we ran your labs.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
The surgery's been canceled.
He rigged the system somehow.
He took the lungs from my patient
and gave them to his own daughter.
I did what I had to do
to give my daughter a chance.
Would you rather have me
just sit and watch her die?
Thank you for coming.
I didn't think you would.
Neither did I.
So what is it you want to say to me?
Um
I've had a lot of time to think
about what I did to you.
I was obviously not of
right mind after Wendy died.
But I've been put on an antipsychotic,
and and I've accepted
Jesus Christ into my heart.
I asked you to come here today
because I wanted to tell you
how deeply sorry I am
for the pain that I caused you.
And I wanted to ask
if you could find it
in your heart to forgive me.
Stop.
Uh-uh.
You don't get to preach to me, ever.
And no, I don't forgive you.
Forgiving you won't erase
the scar on my stomach.
It won't erase the fact
that I see your face
when I close my eyes at night.
I have to live with
what happened to me every day.
[SOFT TENSE MUSIC]
And so should you.
I'll pray for you.
Pray for yourself.
I'm good.
♪
[DOOR BUZZING]
You're pregnant?
Yeah.
Um
does Mitch know?
You're the first person that I've told.
Look, I am so sorry.
This, um this wasn't planned.
Do you do you not believe me?
Of course I believe you.
But it's just typical Hannah.
Okay, look, Lizzy, I can have this baby,
and then I can still be your surrogate.
Oh, come on. How is that gonna work?
You will have a baby.
That will be your focus, your life.
I should have known better
than to trust you again.
Oh, come on. That's not fair.
Fair? Are you kidding?
I've spent years watching out
for you, after Mom died,
when you went to med school,
when you got hooked on heroin.
I have done everything that I can
to help you on this journey
to have a baby.
Oh, do you want some extra credit?
Lizzy!
I have been in this
with you from the start,
and I have worked my ass off
to make up for all of those
horrible things that I did!
This baby?
This baby isn't that.
Isn't there isn't there some
some small part of you
that's actually happy for me?
Once again, it's my fault.
[DOOR OPENS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
Stop.
[BANGING]
You're a child.
Yeah, proudly.
Uh, I don't wanna keep you in suspense.
You're negative for GSS.
Congratulations.
Oh, my God.
Wait, wait, wait. I see the
blue envelope in your pocket.
What does it say, Caty?
Also negative.
Thank God.
Oh, God!
I just assumed that we were
- Me too.
- [SIGHS]
[LAUGHTER]
Wait, so what caused the weakness?
The same thing that caused your tremor.
Your brother has
a severely herniated disk.
He's responding to steroids.
You should follow up with Dr. Abrams,
but he'll make a full recovery.
And I'm I'm
I'm very happy for you, Caitlin.
Yeah, but what about me?
Yeah, I'm just less invested.
Oh. [CHUCKLES]
Violet, you're going to Trauma 1.
- What have we got, Novak?
- Auto versus tree.
19-year-old female,
the driver and sole occupant.
BP 129/60, heart rate 75.
She hit it going 50.
Had to use the jaws of life
to pry her out.
Multiple abrasions
to the face and chest.
Feels like she could have
a couple of broken ribs.
GCS was 13 to 14 on the ride in.
Call Dr. Charles.
Why?
This is his daughter, Anna.
[TENSE MUSIC]
Has anyone called her
mother to let her know?
I did.
Susan's catching the first flight.
- Sharon, how's she doing?
- She's holding her own.
CT scan found a nasal bone
fracture, but no brain bleed.
Okay. Is she awake?
Uh, Dr. Ripley still has her sedated.
- Oh, my God, Anna.
- Dr. Charles.
What's the status, buddy?
What what are we looking at?
I'm watching her concussion closely.
She, uh she slammed
her head pretty hard.
She also sustained three broken ribs
and a left distal radius
fracture I reduced.
[SOMBER MUSIC]
♪
What's going on?
Why was my surgery canceled?
Noah, unfortunately,
the ODA has changed course,
and they are giving the lungs
to another recipient.
Wait, what?
But how can they just do that
after they already said
they're giving the lungs to Noah?
I mean, how can they just do that?
No, they can't. This isn't right.
Just I need you to explain to us
what happened so I can fix this.
Mr. Macron, I wish there was
something I could do, okay?
And I tried my very best
to argue our case
as strongly as I could.
Try harder.
I'm sorry.
So what do we do now?
Well, given the circumstances
of Noah's lung function,
we need to buy some more time.
And the best way to do that
is to put you on ECMO.
A machine that breathes for me?
Hey, look, I know that's scary, okay?
But you are still at the top
of the transplant list.
Like that actually means something.
Walter, stop.
Okay, we need to do
what it takes right now
to give you the best shot to be ready
when the next set of lungs come along.
Okay, but you said that ECMO
could carry other risks
that might make transplant
more difficult.
I did, yes.
We don't have any other choice.
And ECMO could give
your lungs more time to heal.
How long can he survive
on ECMO without new lungs?
A few weeks, maybe a month.
How soon does he have to go on it?
Within the hour.
I'll be okay, Dad.
Yeah.
Yeah, you're gonna be good.
You're gonna be okay.
Sweetie, you're doing great.
I
I heard Griffin Lancer removed you
as Alea's primary physician.
Uh, yeah.
Yeah, he did.
The guy's an entitled egomaniac,
but I don't really blame him one bit.
Why?
'Cause you'd do
the same thing for your kids?
Yeah.
In a twisted way, he's just being
the best dad he knows how to be.
When you love someone that much,
it opens you up to so much pain.
They say it's like having your
heart run around outside your body.
Yeah, it makes you wonder
if it's really worth it.
Anna's oxygen saturation
continues to improve,
using her incentive spirometer.
Okay, well, that that
sounds like really good news.
It's a step in the right direction.
The pulmonary contusion must not be
so bad under her rib fracture.
So the seat belt broke her ribs?
Uh, no.
Anna wasn't wearing a seat belt.
That doesn't sound like Anna.
She actually broke her ribs on
the steering wheel upon impact.
Okay.
Makes sense.
When when can we see her?
I'll call when she's ready for visitors.
- Thank you.
- Thanks, Mitch.
Yeah.
[SIGHS]
It's gonna be okay, Dad.
Oh, I know. I know.
I'll feel a whole lot better
when we can talk to her, you know?
I know.
You wanted to see me?
The board's been discussing some cuts
for the upcoming fiscal quarter.
I'm sorry. Where's this coming from?
The expected future loss of
revenue from losing Dr. Hayes.
Well, your tone suggests
that Dr. Hayes's departure
was somehow my fault.
Obviously, it was Dr. Hayes's fault,
though the very public nature
of his departure
did leave Gaffney a little flat-footed.
I didn't leak
the Hayes bombshell, Miranda.
I'm not saying you did, Sharon.
But it doesn't change
the financial reality.
It's a list of approved cuts
you're expected to execute ASAP.
And I see Dr. Washington's
name is on here too.
Hard times mean hard decisions.
So you're gonna fire
our highly respected
chief of oncology who's
been here nearly two decades?
I know that your ongoing relationship
with Dr. Washington might
make this more complicated.
Complicated?
How?
If you'd like
someone else to handle this
I'll handle it.
Thank you for your
professionalism, Sharon.
Uh-huh.
I just hope this is
a kick in the ass for Kip.
He needs to move forward
and no longer has prion as an excuse.
Yeah, well, he'll figure it out, right?
Well, Kip generally resists
figuring things out.
He prefers to drift.
What about you?
What about me?
Well, this changes things for you too.
This changes nothing.
I simply go back to work.
Ah, don't underestimate the significance
of a negative result.
Your future is more certain now.
Sure, if I don't drown in a lake
or have a sudden fatal heart attack.
You know what you should do, though?
You should travel.
Yeah, get out of here.
Just take a leave,
one to two months, you know.
Just sit on the Spanish Steps in Rome
or just look out at Barcelona
from the top of the Sagrada Familia.
Are these things that you've done?
So the point is that
an emergency department
is like a Vegas casino.
It tricks you into believing
that time isn't passing.
It is.
Well, vacations make me anxious.
I'm always too hot or too cold.
I don't speak the language,
and my credit card bill explodes.
And I always end up just
counting down the days
until I can get back to work.
That is deeply sad, but very on brand.
Cold, dead hearts, remember?
There you go.
I hear that Dr. Masukawa
and her surgical team
will be by soon to get you prepped
and transferred to the OR.
Is it true?
Is what true?
Did my dad steal my lungs
from somebody else?
I overheard someone in the hallway.
Organ donation is
an imperfect process, Alea.
There's all kinds of conflicting factors
that can affect who gets them.
But there's never enough
organs to go around,
so what's a miracle for you
will always be a heartbreak
for someone else.
That sounds like a yes.
Your father loves you.
I know.
Save your strength and get some rest.
Focus on your surgery.
That's excellent advice, sweetheart.
I thought you weren't going to be caring
for my daughter anymore.
You only asked
for Dr. Ripley to step aside,
and there are just so many nurses.
I like Maggie.
I want her to stay.
[SOFT MUSIC]
Don't worry about anything
except what needs to be done next.
You just focus on conquering
each obstacle in front of you
until, eventually, you win the race.
And what if the race is unwinnable?
♪
No such thing.
Is it time to sedate me?
When you're ready.
You doing okay?
I'm fine.
You know, you don't
have to be fine, Noah.
It's okay to be scared.
You know that, right?
That's the thing, Dr. Frost.
I'm not scared.
I'm tired.
So, so tired.
I don't wanna die, but
the thought of going to sleep
and not waking up
is not not so bad.
But I can't tell my parents that.
It would break their heart.
I have to be strong for them.
Especially Dad.
Hey, I can understand all of that,
okay, but here's the thing.
I think you still got
some fight left in you.
I need you to do something
for me, Dr. Frost.
Anything.
If I die
will you tell my parents
it's not their fault?
Hey.
Hey, how are you, buddy?
Hey, Grandma and Grandpa
send love and strength.
Okay, Dr. Frost.
Oh, please, wait.
Wait.
Noah, the next time we see you,
you're gonna have a new pair of lungs.
Yeah.
Hey, the thing I'm proudest of
in all the world
is being your dad.
[VOICE BREAKING] I'm scared.
Me, too, buddy.
But you're hey, you're gonna be fine.
I love you both so much.
We love you, our precious boy.
More than you can possibly imagine.
Okay.
I'm ready.
Hey.
I'm gonna see you soon, okay, Noah?

Good timing.
- Dad.
- I'm right here, sweetie.
How you doing? Are you all right?
- How's my girl?
- Much better.
I'm keeping a close eye on her
O2 sats for the rib fractures
and her neuro checks for the concussion,
but, um, all things considered,
she's very lucky.
Um, I feel kind of out of it.
Pain meds, honey.
Just they're gonna make you groggy.
That's all it is.
I'll check back in a little later.
[SIGHS] Do you even
remember what happened?
Oh, I don't know.
I I think I hit a patch of gravel,
and the car just
kind of got away from me.
I'm just curious why you
didn't have your seat belt on.
That is so unlike you.
When you were a little kid,
you wouldn't
you wouldn't even let me start the car
unless everybody was buckled up.
I don't remember. I guess I forgot.
I'm worried about you. I am.
Ever since you you came home,
and you told me
you dropped out of school.
- I don't even
- Dad
I do not under
no, no, I just don't understand
why you didn't feel like
you could talk to me.
Dad, you're the last person I would want
to talk to about anything.
What?
[SOFT TENSE MUSIC]
We we were always pretty good
at having those conversations.
That was a long time ago, Dad.
It was?
I don't need you analyzing me
and giving me advice
based on some patient you just had,
who you've just suddenly
decided to compare me to.
I'm not your puzzle to solve.
I'm your daughter.
Dad, can I talk to you for a moment?

Anna drove into that tree on purpose.
She's been home with you
for, what, a month?
I mean, did did you know
she was depressed?
I suspected.
And you didn't think
to clue me in, Robin?
You know all about our family history.
I never imagined that it was this bad.
Instead, I get this dog and pony show
with luggage about being
late from the airport
for Granny's funeral
'cause of all the traffic?
I didn't tell you because
Anna didn't want you to know.
She's my sister.
I was respecting her privacy.
- I'm her father.
- That is the problem.
Honey, she just tried to kill herself.
Dad, I'm sorry,
but it is not as easy to talk
- to you about this stuff
- Oh, Jesus Christ!
- You too? You too?
- Yes. Me, too, Dad.
There is a line
between you being our dad
and you being a shrink,
and sometimes you can't stop
yourself from crossing it.

- Hey, there.
- Hey.
Mm!
Everything okay?
Uh, Dennis, I wanted to let you know
that the board is concerned
about the budget
in the wake of Dr. Hayes's dismissal.
And I'm on the chopping block.
You are, yes.
I lose my title and take a salary cut?
Well, it's a fairly minor salary cut
if you factor in a higher annual bonus.
I know it's not ideal.
That's an understatement.
It'll keep you at the hospital, Dennis.
[SCOFFS]
My title is everything, Sharon.
It's what I've worked for over a long
and distinguished career.
And you know that.
It's the best deal I could get, Dennis.
Oh, really?
Did you threaten to walk?
Offer to take a pay cut yourself?
A lesser title?
I didn't think so.
The only one out here on a limb is me.
And I'm caught
between you and the board,
and I'm paying a pretty steep price.
You're right.
You'll have my resignation on your desk
by the end of the day.
I'm pretty sure that Anna
Tried to kill herself this morning.
She, um, won't talk to me,
for the first time ever.
And, um, I don't know what to do.
I'm so sorry, Daniel.
But I'm really glad you reached out.
♪
Both Anna and Robin, earlier
today, in their own way,
told me maybe I'm not so
easy to talk to,
confide in, as perhaps I thought I was.
[SCOFFS] Sound familiar?
Take it easy on yourself.
I mean, I always knew
I left a lot to be desired
in the husband department, but I mean,
I thought I was a pretty good dad.
Apparently, I've let
the shrink part get in the way,
despite my best efforts.
Would you consider the possibility
you're a good dad
because you're a shrink?
No, I wouldn't, especially not today.
Sarah, I didn't come here
so you'd let me off the hook, okay?
Well, it's clear to me
you are not interested
in being let off the hook by anyone,
least of all yourself.
I'm just wondering why that is.
[PENSIVE MUSIC]
'Cause it's my fault.
Why?
When I was locked in my
30-year cold war with my mom,
I swore to myself
my relationship with my kids
would be different,
that they would always know
that I was there for them,
that that I was their friend,
and that they would talk to me.
But I think that the sad truth is,
I just have no tolerance for their pain,
and it's my desperation to fix it
maybe drives them away.
Daniel, all we can ever be is our best.
And as far as Anna,
what I'm hearing is that
she needs you to completely
put the shrink away.
What she needs right now is her dad.
Hey.
Uh, any update on the transplant team?
Dr. Masukawa said they'd be
down here within the hour.
No, actually, I was told
that Alea wanted to see me.
I have some questions
about my condition.
Then you should ask
Dr. Masukawa, not a nurse.
Dr. Masukawa avoids my questions
because she's afraid to piss you off.
[SIGHS]
Maggie, come in.
I wanna know more about the kid
my dad took the new lungs from.
She didn't say a word, Dad.
I have eyes and ears.
Well, after my doctors
assessed your current condition,
yes, the ODA determined that
you were a better candidate
for the donated lungs,
and they were reassigned to you.
Meaning you bent them to your will.
You need those lungs more than that boy.
Is that true, Maggie?
[TENSE MUSIC]
Those lungs could buy him
another 30 years.
Well, you just threw your
career away, didn't you?
Stop bullying everyone
for telling me the truth, Dad.
I hate that part of you.
[SOMBER MUSIC]
♪
How much time would the lungs give me?
[SIGHS] Okay.
Alea, I'm not a doctor,
but maybe a few months.
But I'm not trying to stop you
from having the surgery.
The lungs are yours, and you deserve
a chance to live
as much as that boy does.
But those are the facts.
Thank you, Maggie.
Okay.
It's simple math.
No, Alea.
People always use statistics
and opinions
to tell you something's impossible.
The world has no lack of cold water
to throw on fresh ideas
that have the possibility
of beating the odds.
I got to where I am by only
trusting my own counsel.
I taught you to do the same.
I do trust my own counsel.
Which is why I'm not taking the lungs.
You will. You will take them.
- Yes, you will.
- Look at him.
Look at Noah.
No, there there
there are no other options.
Look at the life you're taking.
I will not allow you to die.

the way I spoke to you earlier.
I got personal.
I wasn't playing fair.
Well, I understand your anger, Dennis.
I do. You are collateral damage.

I've got some anger of my own,

This is about Alex.
Well, that's why I moved out.
You know, we had been
together over a year,

I explained why I kept it from her.
You made excuses, Dennis,
that still don't hold water for me.
- Sharon
- You know
you asked me to let you into my life,
and I did, because I believed in us.
But you didn't give me the same respect.

I made a mistake,
which I apologized for.
You're choosing to hold onto this.
Well, what would that say

What would that say
about our relationship?
Now
I think it's time
we went our separate ways.
Sharon, can I be honest with you?
Please.
You went through a traumatic

can you tell him where I am

I tried calling him,
but he forgot his phone.
Yeah, go. I'll let him know.
How you feeling, honey?
I mean, it hurts when I breathe,
but other than that, better.
Oh, good. Good.
Um
sweetie, I've been thinking
about what you said, and, um
I'm a shrink.
You know, and it seems that
as hard as I try
to not let that bleed
into my parenting skills
or lack thereof, I have failed.
Dad, you don't have to try to
You know, honey, I actually do.
I overreacted in a really
inappropriate way earlier,
and I'm sorry.
Sincerely, honey, I apologize.
It's just that, you know,
we've got this history
of depression in our family,
and you seem to be
in a dark place, and
Dad, I'm not depressed.
Do you mind do you mind
just hearing me out for a bit?
So, you know, when I was a kid,
my dad seemed to be
in a dark place a lot, right?
We didn't use the word
"depression" in my family.
It was always like,
oh, Dad's a little blue.
You know, Dad's just
really, really tired.
I know the story already.
Yeah, but you don't know all of it,
and I promised myself
I'd tell you as soon as
you got a little older, and I just
well, anyway, I loved my dad, right?
And I was pretty sure that
he was depressed, right?
So I just read any book
I could get my hands on
that might teach me how to
I don't know help him.
Yeah, and that was your first
step toward becoming a shrink.
And then, one weekend, um,
I came home from college.
It was a Saturday morning,
and I slept late.
And I guess Mom had
already left the house,
and so I went down, and I
I made myself some breakfast.
And that's when
that's when I smelled
the, uh, the fumes.
The, uh, garage was
right off the kitchen,
and I opened up the door,
and then all the

All the smoke just
started to billow out.
And, um
you know, Dad had
rolled up all the windows
and used a garden hose
and some duct tape,
piped the exhaust in through
the driver's-side window,
and been dead for hours, honey.
And my entire life,
I just have regretted
not being more proactive
about reaching out,
saying, Dad, you know, what's going on?
You know?
I regret so much that I
succumbed to this ridiculous,
you know, "we don't talk about
that kind of thing" taboo BS
that was rampant in my household.
You know, if only I'd have known
how much pain he was in,
how alone he was,
how much shame he was
made to feel for something
that wasn't his fault.
[CRYING] Dad, I'm so sorry.
I didn't know what was
happening to me, and I
I thought I could just
hold on a little longer
and maybe it would all go away.
And it didn't,
and I felt like such a freak.
And I thought about calling you.
I did. But I was so embarrassed.
And I know that Stanford isn't cheap,
and I didn't wanna disappoint you,
and at Granny's funeral,
I could see that I had.
Honey, honey, honey, look at me.
Look at me.
You are incapable of disappointing me.
I didn't know what else to do, Dad.
When I got in my car this morning,
it just seemed like the only option.
It has for a while now.
[SOBBING]
You have any idea how proud I am of you
- for saying that out loud?
- I'm sorry.
You have nothing
to be sorry about, honey.
Look, we're gonna figure this out.
I do need you, Dad.
And I will always be here to talk to you
about whatever you wanna talk about.
But how about this?
Let's say if ever we start
to stray into this area,
I promise you
from the bottom of my heart,
all I'm gonna do is listen.
Okay?
Okay.
Oh.
It'll be okay.

No. No.
Thank you. In six or seven hours.

Easy, okay, Walter? Come on.

Noah needed lungs, and we were
told to get in line,
so we did, because that's the system.
And it's supposed to be fair, right?
So we waited years
while Noah wasted away,
praying for a miracle.
And then one day, we got the call.
We got the miracle.
Until you cut the line.
I was protecting my child, same as you.
We're not the same.
I tried to protect my son,
but I don't have the money
and the power like you do.
Walter, listen to me, okay?
Noah is alive.
That's why he's gone
and my daughter is still here.
Walter.
Noah still needs you to fight for him.
And that's what I admire about you.
Not every parent would fight
for their child
the way that you do.
And this transplant?

has more years ahead of him
than he's already lived.
I don't want you to miss any of that.

Well, given the circumstances

we need to buy some more time.
And the best way to do that
is to put you on ECMO.
A machine that breathes for me?
Hey, look, I know that's scary, okay?

could carry other risks

piped the exhaust in through
the driver's-side window,
and been dead for hours, honey.
And my entire life,
I just have regretted
not being more proactive
about reaching out,
saying, Dad, you know, what's going on?
You know?
I regret so much that I
succumbed to this ridiculous,
you know, "we don't talk about
that kind of thing" taboo BS
that was rampant in my household.
You know, if only I'd have known
how much pain he was in,
how alone he was,
how much shame he was
made to feel for something
that wasn't his fault.
[CRYING] Dad, I'm so sorry.
I didn't know what was
happening to me, and I
I thought I could just
hold on a little longer
and maybe it would all go away.
And it didn't,
and I felt like such a freak.
And I thought about calling you.
I did. But I was so embarrassed.
And I know that Stanford isn't cheap,
and I didn't wanna disappoint you,
and at Granny's funeral,
I could see that I had.
Honey, honey, honey, look at me.
Look at me.
You are incapable of disappointing me.
I didn't know what else to do, Dad.
When I got in my car this morning,
it just seemed like the only option.
It has for a while now.
[SOBBING]
You have any idea how proud I am of you
- for saying that out loud?
- I'm sorry.
You have nothing
to be sorry about, honey.
Look, we're gonna figure this out.
I do need you, Dad.
And I will always be here to talk to you
about whatever you wanna talk about.
But how about this?
Let's say if ever we start
to stray into this area,
I promise you
from the bottom of my heart,
all I'm gonna do is listen.
Okay?
Okay.
Oh.
It'll be okay.
Where is he? Where's my son?
No. No.
Thank you. In six or seven hours.
Lancer!
You selfish son of a bitch!
Take a step back.
Hey!
I think you need to walk away.
Look at me! Admit what you did!
Admit that you killed my son!
- Gun!
- Got the gun!
[GUNSHOT]
Get the hell away from me!
Dad? What's happening?
Everything's gonna be fine, sweetie.
You need to calm down.
I I didn't want this, any of this.
You're clearly not up to speed.
What what are you talking about?
My daughter gave
those lungs to your son.
He's up in surgery right now.
No, you're just saying
whatever you need to
to get me to put the gun down.
He's telling the truth, Walter.
All right, Noah's alive,
and the surgery is going really well.
Just put the gun down.
All right, let me take you
upstairs to join your wife.
Stop lying to me.
My son is gone,
and I don't know how
I'm gonna live without him.
Walter, I would never lie to you.
Whoa, whoa. Hey, whoa, whoa.
Easy, okay, Walter? Come on.
You don't understand.
Noah needed lungs, and we were
told to get in line,
so we did, because that's the system.
And it's supposed to be fair, right?
So we waited years
while Noah wasted away,
praying for a miracle.
And then one day, we got the call.
We got the miracle.
Until you cut the line.
I was protecting my child, same as you.
We're not the same.
I tried to protect my son,
but I don't have the money
and the power like you do.
Walter, listen to me, okay?
Noah is alive.
That's why he's gone
and my daughter is still here.
Walter.
Noah still needs you to fight for him.
And that's what I admire about you.
Not every parent would fight
for their child
the way that you do.
And this transplant?
All right, it means that Noah
has more years ahead of him
than he's already lived.
I don't want you to miss any of that.
So come on.
All right? Please, put the gun down.
♪
Hey, Mister?
If I don't get the chance,
tell Noah to use those lungs
as much as he can.
I'll tell him, sweetie, I promise.
Thank you.

Hi. You might not remember me,
but we met when I got stuck in a well,
and you cut off my leg.
Nope.
Sorry, not, uh, not ringing any bells.
Uh, picture me
with more dirt on my face.
Oh, Sadie.

Hey.
We need to talk.
You know, there's something
Maya Angelou once said
that kept ringing in my ear.
"When someone shows you who they are,
believe it the first time."
I didn't wanna believe
what I felt, but
[CHUCKLES] Who am I to question Maya?
So today,
I chose to believe
what I already knew to be true.
I'm finding forgiveness harder
as I get older.
It's just too easy.
[CHUCKLES] And yet I feel
I feel hopeful.
Um, I did almost die.
And yet, here I am, alive.
