Mulligan

ADMlNlSTRATOR: You let a billionaire hospital trustee die to save some kid off the street.
l made a judgment call.
You made a mistake.
EVAN: This trip is going to get you back on your feet.
HANK: What trip? EVAN: To the Hamptons.
What you did to us back then was gutless and pitiful.
l understand that your life went south when Mom died.
You didn't leave when Mom died.
You took off when she got sick.
At some point, you're gonna have to forgive him.
At some point, you're gonna have to realize l won't.
JlLL: That's the guy who donated his kidney to his housekeeper? Divya, that ring on your finger l'm engaged.
lt's come to my attention that your father is a criminal.
He was prosecuted and convicted.
He became a confidential informant against me.
He's having a heart attack.
Call 91 1 .
This is the life.
All right, well, l don't know about you guys, but l am going in the water.
Have fun.
Come on, Ev, let's go.
l don't feel like it.
What's the matter, you scared? Yeah, l'm scared.
You scared? Yeah, l'm so scared.
Oh, sorry, your little world's been destroyed.
Hey! Come here! Let's go, baby! Oh, you're not gonna get me.
Don't go out too far! Boys! Boys! Henry, not so deep! BOTH: Whoa! Damn it.
Henry! Evan! Please.
Please, come on out.
Come on out.
Waves are coming in triplets.
They are? He's barely breathing.
(FADES lNTO HANK'S VOlCE) Pulse is weak and thready.
Pushing 100 milligrams lidocaine.
Henry, what are you talking about? Damn it, the lidocaine didn't work.
What does that mean? ls he gonna be okay? HANK: His BP is 50 and dropping.
What are you talking about? He's in V-tach.
Dad.
Dad! He's in V-tach arrest.
Charging.
(PADDLES POWERlNG UP) (DEFlBRlLLATOR BEEPS) Clear! Charging.
(PADDLES POWERlNG UP) (DEFlBRlLLATOR BEEPS) Clear.
(SCREAMS) (GROANlNG lN PAlN) Dad.
Dad.
Hank.
Hank.
(SlREN WAlLlNG) Divya.
Adam.
l thought you would have been discharged by now.
Man, it's a process.
Um Adam (STAMMERS) l know.
We should talk.
No.
l have to go.
lt's an emergency.
Oh, of course.
We can talk later.
Or perhaps Perhaps it would be best if we didn't.
What happened happened, and talking about it can't help that it never should have happened at all.
l'm sorry.
JlLL: The cath lab is prepped.
Hank, this is Dr.
Starnes, the Head of Cardiology.
Dr.
Starnes, Dr.
Lawson.
STARNES: Hi.
So where are we? The patient was initially in V-tach.
l pushed 100 milligrams lido, but his BP crashed.
He went into V-fib, so l shocked him with 200 joules, and he reverted to a sinus rhythm with ectopy.
Are you his primary? l'm his son.
Jesus.
Get in here.
HANK: Yeah, let's go.
He's stable.
(WHlSPERlNG) Can l touch him? No.
Just (SHUSHES) Hi.
Hi, Dad.
How you feeling, Dad? Woozy.
Tired.
Mostly ashamed.
Why? Because of all those bad things that Boris said to me.
And then before l got to tell my side of the story, l almost die.
lt kills me.
(CHUCKLES) So to speak.
We're glad it didn't.
Man, l tell you, it changed me, kiddos.
l'm a new man.
From now on, l'm telling the truth.
That's great.
l'm not kidding.
No, l'm not kidding.
That's Really, that's terrific, Dad.
l'll say.
Let's hear it.
But you just had a heart attack.
Undue stress should be avoided, so Stress? (SCOFFS) This won't be stressful.
lt's like lifting a weight off my shoulders.
lf you feel up for it, we're listening.
So l'm thinking that this began Yeah? l guess it all began Yeah? l guess it Dad? Dad, what's going (SNORlNG) Oh.
(LAUGHS) He's asleep, Ev.
You guess that it started You said (SHUSHlNG) Dad Evan.
Come on, let's go.
All right, well, if his status changes, call me.
Thank you, Dr.
Starnes.
Bye.
ls he all right? (EXCLAlMS) Whoa! Dude! Sorry.
l'm walking here.
Sorry, l didn't see you.
Well, be careful, man.
WOMAN: Have a good day.
(LAUGHS) Was she drinking scotch? (SlGHS) l don't know.
This just feels weird, going to work with Dad still in the hospital.
We were there all night.
We were there this morning.
The doc said the best thing for him right now is To rest.
lt's true.
We can't rest for him, right? l know, but just Sitting there watching him sleep, that's not gonna help him or anybody else, and HankMed's obligated to this golf tournament for the next three days.
So go, okay? Go.
Be obligatory.
The word is actually ''obliging.
'' Whatever.
We'll be with Dad later.
Right now, you need to work, and l need to get into Dad's legal situation and find out whether or not Boris wants to evict us.
Oh, oh, oh, l'd rather you wait for me to deal with all that.
Why, you don't want me to smooth things over? Mmm, you're more a ruffler than a smoother.
lf you don't think l can handle HankMed business, you should fire me.
Relax.
You should fire me or, preferably, ask for my resignation, 'cause it'll look better.
Fine, you deal with the Dad stuff, but l will deal with Boris, okay? Okay.
Not a word.
l said, ''Okay.
'' Don't even wave at him.
Not a word, not a wave.
l won't even think about him.
Good.
Okay.
Okay.
l'll see you later.
You're thinking of him.
(STAMMERS) l'm trying not to.
Yeah, his name is Edward R.
Lawson.
Just Edward.
Yeah, just how it sounds.
No, l'm not trying to be smart, ma'am.
l'm just not familiar with any other way of spelling ''Edward.
'' No, l don't know what court convicted him, that's why l'm calling you.
Edward R.
Lawson.
E-D-W You know what? You know what, Virginia? Forget it.
God.
Ladies and gentlemen, your tax dollars at work.
(NERVOUSLY CLEARS THROAT) (PANTlNG) Hey, Boris.
l understand your father has stabilized.
Yeah.
Yeah, he's supposed to be discharged tomorrow.
That must be a great relief.
lt is, yeah.
This is for your eyes only.
Examine it, will you? l'll call you to discuss.
You mean me and Hank.
lf l meant you and Hank, l would have said so.
Please don't miss my call.
l won't.
l'll even set up a special Kuester von Jurgens-Ratenicz ringtone.
Dokken? No.
Hoobastank.
No.
Night Ranger.
(LAUGHS) Oh, yeah, this is so Boris.
(UPBEAT ROCK MUSlC PLAYlNG) Ow! Oh! Ready? Whoa! (CROWD GASPS) (lNAUDlBLE) Nice.
Try to keep your clubface square at impact.
With nothing on the tee, it's hard to make any impact.
Don't be so sure.
Hi, l'm l know who you are.
You're Jack O'Malley.
Guilty.
You'll be disappointed to learn l am the pro you're playing with.
Hardly.
l'm Jill Casey.
Jack and Jill.
Whoever is doing the pairing clearly has a sophisticated sense of humor.
Hi, there! We're the other half of your foursome.
Nan Noonan, my husband Dick.
Hi.
Jack O'Malley.
Jill Casey.
Nice.
Would you autograph my balls? Maybe when l get to know you better.
l'll get a pen.
lsn't it exciting to be playing with such a famous golfer? Oh, yeah.
Do you know O'Malley's story? Actually, l do.
A couple years ago, he just came out of nowhere.
Yeah, l know.
Leading the Open by three strokes, one hole to play Mmm-hmm.
l was watching.
Then hooked his final tee shot out of bounds and misses, poor thing.
(SlGHS lN EXASPERATlON) Really? DlCK: Could have been somebody.
A thing like that would have driven me to drink.
There's a short trip.
(CHUCKLES) Scotch, Jill? (STAMMERS) lt's 1 1 :00 a.
m.
(LAUGHS) l'll have another snort.
Nice.
Wow.
Well, well, well, look who plays golf.
Well, when you work with doctors, it's sort of an occupational hazard.
Uh-huh.
And the tournament is benefiting the hospital.
Uh, Jack, this is Hank.
Hank, this is Jack O'Malley.
He's the golf pro that we're playing with.
Oh, yeah.
Nice to meet you.
(STAMMERS) l never shake till after a tournament.
Superstition.
Nice to meet you.
Oh.
Okay.
Well, uh, have fun.
Hank, l don't play for fun.
l play to win.
All right, then.
Here you go.
What do you say the four of us go out there and kick some charity-based ass? Uh, Jack, are your fingers okay there? l don't know, Doc.
You can watch my drive and you tell me.
Wow.
Nice.
EDDlE: Oh, l know it is, schmoopy.
l can't wait to see you tomorrow.
Your body is like a wonderland.
Oh, yes, it is.
Bye for now.
That was Ms.
Newberg.
Oh, really? l thought it was your proctologist.
Stop, stop, stop! They have this fancy cappuccino machine.
l'd like a, uh A double shot, please.
You want some? No, l don't want some.
Dad, has Dr.
Starnes explained the lifestyle changes you need to make once you're discharged? Lifestyle changes? No.
Can we finish old business before we start with new business? Hold on for a second.
What do you mean ''Lifestyle changes''? Diet, exercise, a daily statin or other medication to help lower your cholesterol.
The truth about everything? Remember that? Will you hold on for a minute? Do these have any sexual side effects? Um, sometimes.
But you won't know for another three to four weeks, once you're cleared to resume normal activities.
Shut the front door! Three to four weeks? Dad, you invested in companies that didn't exist.
Okay, let's start there.
Allegedly didn't exist.
Yeah.
And you were convicted.
l had a little legal trouble.
With With the SEC.
You want to tell the story? No.
Look, when a man makes a mistake, does that entitle the government to take everything he owns? ln North Korea, maybe, but not in this country.
Look, the money that l moved in and out of HankMed was merely to preserve the very little l had left.
And you made us look suspicious by doing that, Dad.
You You risked everything we've built here.
Evan, maybe now's not the time to get into You know what? lt would have been just fine, and then l signed for a box of drugs that was bound for Cuba and kaboom! l was back in the crosshairs again.
They wanted to know everything.
l knew nothing.
So l offered to help them figure out whether Boris was a good guy or a bad guy.
That's it.
You're going to jail, Dad.
No, l'm not.
Yes, you are.
You are.
Hey, you know what? Talk to my lawyer and ask him.
Give me his number.
l'd love to talk to him.
Don't get fresh with me.
(HEART MONlTOR BEEPlNG) Okay, everyone, just calm down.
Listen.
Look what's going on.
EVAN: l'm sorry.
Sorry.
Okay, deep breaths.
Deep breaths.
Evan, let's get him healthy.
Then you can kill him.
l have a good idea.
Let's get out of here.
Great idea.
Let's do that.
All right? l really feel like some eggs Benedict.
Dad, Dad What did l just You can't have that.
Right, right, right, right, right.
Remember, lifestyle changes.
EDDlE: l have to take the drugs first.
No, actually, that's not it either.
You just told me they lower my cholesterol.
l'm not getting this.
No, you're not getting it.
You're not getting it at all.
Try not to open your hips so much when you follow through.
So is this the part where you cozy up behind me and show me how to swing? No, that move's strictly for the amateurs.
(JlLL LAUGHS) Oh, come on.
What was that? That was a totally acceptable golf shot.
Acceptable? Mmm-hmm.
(SARCASTlCALLY) Yay.
(CHUCKLES) JACK: Do not be so hard on yourself.
Did you take a look at the standings this morning? We are in the hunt.
We are right in the hunt.
No, no, you You're doing great.
(SlGHS) Thank you.
You're welcome.
Do you put the flower in it or on the outside of it? ln.
Oh, we just got to play it safe and avoid catastrophe (JlLL EXCLAlMS) (JACK EXCLAlMS) (EXCLAlMS) (GROANS) Hey.
Hey, are you okay? Yeah.
Yeah, l'm fine.
l just A few cuts and scrapes.
(LAUGHlNG) That was dramatic.
(LAUGHlNG) Oh, Jack, you're bleeding.
Yeah, on your head.
Come on.
Minor laceration at the hairline.
Did you lose consciousness? No.
Only my pride was hurt.
(LAUGHS) Okay.
What's this? You don't know what that is? HANK: No, l do.
lt's just Pen.
Thank you.
Spell ''world'' backwards.
Why, you dyslexic? No, l'm not.
D-L-R-O-W.
Mental status normal, relatively speaking.
All things considered, not so bad.
(LAUGHS) Yeah.
Good thing l landed next to the branch and not on it.
So, uh, how'd this happen? They were coming right at us, and l just lost control.
Sweaty hands, l guess.
l make you that nervous, huh? Okay.
Would you walk with me a sec? l just want to make sure your balance is okay.
Yeah.
Thanks.
Um So, l don't mean to pry, but l think your hands have bigger problems than sweat.
The, uh The curvature of your pinkie and ring fingers l think you may have a condition called Dupuytren's contracture.
A progressive thickening of the connective tissue in my hand.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Yeah.
l've been living with that for about a year and a half.
So have you looked into radiotherapy, needle aponeurotomy? Or the series of 1 2 surgeries l could have? Yes, l have.
And? Look, Doc, l might be a golfer, (LAUGHS) but l don't make Tiger Woods money or his caddie's money or his caddie's caddie's money.
Look, Doc, l'm a minor-leaguer.
Yeah, minor or not, you still need your hands to golf, right? Yeah, l do.
But l would be sidelined way too long.
l would lose the few sponsors that l have.
l might never be able to come back.
Or you'd come back stronger.
You don't know.
l don't know, and that's what scares me.
l don't l don't have anything else to fall back on.
So the way l see it, l just got to make the most of the time l have left.
Great.
But one of these could help extend that time.
You know what people started calling me after l blew the final hole at the Open? No.
Captain Hook.
lronic.
Thank you so much.
Okay, l leave for London Thursday.
l return Monday.
l have juggled the schedule, so those should be relatively light days.
Divya, you're moving to London in, like, a month.
You really need to go there next weekend, too? Of course, Divya.
lt's fine.
Come here.
Take a look at this.
For your golfer's hand.
Yeah, let's give them a call, okay? Sure.
On it.
Hank, l think l just located Dad's attorney.
Wait, is this Dad's phone? Yep.
l stole it.
Briefly.
Just to find his lawyer.
All right.
Well, great.
That's it? l got a work thing here, okay? Okay.
Forgive me for thinking our father, who just had a heart attack and is most likely headed for federal prison, might interest you more than a work thing.
What do you want me to do, Evan? Maybe care a little bit.
l do care, okay? That's a funny way of showing it.
What do you want me to do, obsess? (LAUGHS) l see what this is.
This is you gloating.
What? What are you What are you talking about? You've been suspicious of Dad since day one.
l always said you were wrong, but you weren't wrong, you were right.
So now this is you sitting there being all right.
l am not gloating.
lt's just l don't need to know the gory details of how wrong you were or l was or he is.
lt won't fix anything, and it'll only make me angry.
And l am tired of being angry.
See, this right here, this thing, this might let me fix a guy's hands.
l like problems l can fix, Evan.
lt's why l'm a doctor.
Well, l'm not a doctor.
l want the details just in case there are any land mines out there we haven't stepped on yet, okay? Fine.
Just do yourself a favor and try not to get hurt, okay? Thank you.
Listen, you didn't hear it from me, but, um, you're family, your father trusts you, and l'm gonna assume that what l say stays between us, okay? Absolutely.
What you dug up is accurate.
Your father got caught up in a trading scheme in the spring.
All right.
And he was convicted? Maybe he deserved it, maybe he just got the wrong judge in the wrong mood, you know? But, uh, yeah.
And this happened before the summer, right? Before he cleaned out HankMed's bank account.
Yeah.
He was in a bad place when he got out here.
He didn't have any money, didn't know where to turn.
Right.
He was, uh He was set to flee the state in order to avoid sentencing.
What? He was going on the lam? Until he went to the Hamptons.
At which point he opted to work with the feds and try to make his sentence go away.
Why? Because of us? He said he had a shot at fixing things with his sons.
That, uh That you boys were the most important thing to him.
(EXHALES) Okay, um So his sentencing hearing He still has a chance of probation, right? Or maybe community service or something? l wouldn't count on it, son.
Well, l see you picking at your food, Ms.
Casey, but l don't see you eating it.
You're gonna need your strength out there.
Well, you know what? l'm not hungry.
l think l might be nervous.
Hey, guys.
Hey, Doc.
You want to join us? Um You know what? We have no time.
We have to go to the driving range.
Ah.
You know, we're only two strokes behind.
We're in the hunt.
We take golf very seriously.
Okay.
JlLL: And l like to win.
But, Hank, l could really use your help.
lf you like to win and you need my help, you're in trouble.
No, it's just l haven't played golf in a while, and after two rounds in two days, my back is really stiffening up.
How about you start with two Advil? Deal.
HANK: Okay.
All right, eat quick.
l'm gonna get the check, all right? Uh, really You don't No.
No, l got it.
Yeah, just let the girl pay.
Competitive, beautiful, buys me breakfast l like this girl.
Uh-huh.
So l did some reading up on Dupuytren's.
Don't waste your time.
And while the surgeries you mentioned are one way to go, there's a brand-new drug on the market.
Waste your time.
Your doctor might not know 'cause it was just approved by the FDA.
l haven't seen a doctor in a while.
Okay, well, it's an injection in your hand that basically melts the lesions that cause the ligaments in your fingers to tighten.
No surgery? No surgery, but no guarantees.
Nothing's guaranteed, but that's great.
Thanks, Doc.
l'll check it out soon.
How about now? lt could take a few hours to see results.
Okay, this may pinch a little.
Pinch away.
l've tried everything.
Nothing works.
Life doesn't offer too many mulligans.
Uh, mulligans? What kind of doctor are you? You too busy treating the patients to learn your golf terms? Mulligan, fresh start, do-over, second chance.
l guess we could all use a mulligan now and then.
Okay.
You are all set, my friend.
MAN: Fore! (CROWD EXCLAlMS) (WHOOPlNG) Nice shot.
Nice out, Casey.
Oh, man.
l hit it fat.
Oh, you knocked the back out of it.
That'll work.
Hey, everything okay? You called.
No, l did.
Guys, l'll meet you down there.
Hank, l need a shot of cortisone ASAP.
And you know what? Anything else you have in that bag of yours.
My back is in spasm.
l can taste victory.
Well, if everything hurts that much, stop tasting and get some rest and some ice.
Are you suggesting l quit? l'm suggesting you protect your body.
You were thrown from a golf cart yesterday.
But, Hank, l'm nine holes away.
Did you know it's bad form to injure yourself at a charity tournament benefiting a hospital? Hank, l want the win, and l want that trophy.
Okay.
Not to mention l have a partner, and l don't want to let him down.
Yeah, l'm not finding that argument very persuasive.
You jealous? Yeah, that you prefer golf to your health.
(LAUGHS) No, l'm not jealous.
Sit down.
How about we give you a TENS unit? Oh, you want to give me electrical nerve stimulation? All right.
l want you to take it easy, but since you're clearly gunning for the cover of Golf Digest, l'll settle for just making you feel better.
And in the future, sir, anger management may help.
Both for you and your five iron.
Thank you.
ADAM: l'm sorry to just appear like this, but l got worried when you ignored the texts l sent you.
Worried that l wasn't well? Worried that you weren't returning my texts.
No, please, hear me out.
Adam l'll l'll talk fast.
You're engaged and l knew that, and l never should have put you in the position that l did.
Adam Still talking.
So l'm sorry for that.
But l'm also l'm not sorry.
Because when we kissed, l don't know.
lt just lt felt good and right.
Please don't.
Look, if l'm wrong and you didn't feel anything, tell me.
And if you want me to stop texting you (LAUGHS) and stop showing up at random golf tournaments, just say so, and you'll never see me again.
When we kissed, l felt nothing except regret.
l'm sorry.
Cup right, all right? Mmm There's about a foot break.
You got it? Yeah.
Okay.
Piece of cake.
Ms.
Casey, you sink this little putt, our team goes ahead with one hole to play.
Yeah, no pressure, huh? NAN: No pressure.
Hey, champions thrive in the clutch.
Or so they tell me.
(EXHALES SLOWLY) (ALL CHEERlNG) Jill.
Her back's been bothering her.
JACK: And her stomach.
HANK: One more time.
(BREATHES DEEPLY) You know what, guys? l am feeling much better.
Yeah.
Yeah, maybe just some more of that electrical stimulation.
lt doesn't treat nausea.
Well, it's probably just a stomach bug.
Really, guys, l'm l'm fine.
Sit down.
Jill, we're not golfing anymore.
Yeah, l think this is more than just a strained back.
You may have suffered a splenic tear when you hit the ground after the accident.
We need to take you back to the tent and check your hemoglobin levels.
Well, Doctor, my spleen's been bothering me, too.
lt has? Well, how can you tell? l was in the accident as well.
Yeah, but, honey, she hit the ground.
We just went through some leaves and webs.
Your spleen is splendid.
Um, Jill, show me exactly where you feel the pain on your back.
lt's just under my shoulder blades.
Well, you were right about the bug, only it wasn't in your stomach.
What is it? So this should help with the pain.
DlVYA: This'll counteract the toxin.
l can't believe l didn't feel a spider biting me.
Well, you were thrown out of a golf cart.
Your mind may have been elsewhere.
A black widow bite isn't so bad if you catch it early.
You may feel groggy or even a little loopy.
Jack, l'm really sorry about this.
What are you apologizing for? Well, we were this close to winning.
You know what? We'll get 'em next year, killer.
Plus, now we don't have the pressure of having to repeat.
Repeat? Pardon? (GROGGlLY) Repeat.
Repeat.
Repeat.
Repeat.
(LAUGHlNG) Hank, that's funny, right? Uh, yeah.
''Uh, yeah.
'' How cute are you when your being all doctor-y? (GlGGLES) He's so cute.
lsn't he cute? He's like He's like this little puppy, you know? You want to scratch him behind the ears and scratch him on the belly.
Okay.
Um (JlLL LAUGHlNG) Clearly, someone's medication has kicked in.
Yeah, we're We're friends.
Hmm.
You know, Hank is the best.
He really is.
Hank.
You're the best.
And l miss you, Hank.
l really miss you.
You know, good friends.
Ah, we used to be more than that, Hanky Panky.
Really good friends.
Uh, and just for the record, that's the first time she's ever called me that.
Okay.
All righty, then.
(LAUGHlNG) Oh.
Hank, have you been working out? Uh, a little, but Oh, my goodness.
These are amazing.
Look, Divya Okay.
You know what, Jill? Why don't we lay you down for some rest? She should get some rest.
Yeah, Jack, why don't you That's a good idea.
Uh, yeah.
Please stop licking my hand.
HANK: Yeah, so that was a little Awkward.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But, you know, give her some time for the meds to wear off.
She'll be back.
Right.
Sure.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So how are your hands doing? Good.
Bad.
Oh.
Those injections didn't do anything.
Bummer.
l got to admit l was kind of getting my hopes up a little bit.
Here, let me try something else.
Give me your hands.
All right, this may hurt a little, okay? (LlGAMENTS STRETCHlNG) (GRUNTlNG) (GASPS) Okay.
Okay.

l'm glad you have a high pain threshold.
(STAMMERlNG) Hold on a second.
l can move l can move 'em.
Yeah.

And we'll also do a follow-up next week.
This This is amazing.
Looks like you need a new nickname, my friend.
You got that right, Hanky Panky.
And so do l.

Of course, now l guess l have to deliver.
Yeah, that's the thing about second chances.

l don't know how to thank you.
Well, you could shake my hand.
GlRL: Hit a hole in one, win a boat.
Anyone can play.
(CROWD GROANlNG) Hey, what's up? Oh, my God, what took you so long? l texted you 100 times.
We need to talk.

(UPBEAT ROCK MUSlC PLAYlNG ON CELL PHONE) (CROWD EXCLAlMlNG lN AWE) (CROWD EXCLAlMlNG) HANK: lt's in the hole! lt's in the hole! lt's a hole in one! (CROWD CHEERlNG) That was awesome! Dude! You Hello? You just won the boat.
You won it! Here.
Will you sign for me? l got to go.
l got to go.
What? (CLEATS CLACKlNG) (SlGHS) So l just want to begin by apologizing on behalf of the Lawson family for what my father did.
You needn't apologize.
Come.
This is (CHUCKLES) Do you know why l gave you that file, Mr.
Lawson? Um (SlGHlNG) No.
Well, Hank seems to understand your father.
l thought it might be time that you did as well.
All right.
Why are you being so nice to us after what our father did to you? Well, we are not our parents, are we? We cannot be held responsible for their actions.
Don't you agree? Good.
Evan, if you desire for your father to have a less stressful environment in which to recuperate Less stressful? there are climates more comfortable where Eddie R.
Lawson might convalesce.
And l can make those arrangements.
Well, you think about it.
So he just knocks the white off the ball.
lt goes sailing, bounces off the golf cart, and then, bam, right into the hole! l mean, how Evan is that? lt's so Evan! (LAUGHS) And now we have to watch him christen the boat, you know, pretend he's Captain Ahab, even though he's more like Cap'N Crunch.
l guess the upside is he could go off on a three-hour tour.
Nothing on that? (lN SlNGSONG VOlCE) A three-hour tour.
Hello? Hank.
l crossed an unacceptable line.
l became involved with a patient.
You did? l kissed him.
But l ended it.
And l will, of course, in no way continue to treat him medically.
That's why you're flying out to London tonight.
See Raj.
l can only imagine how furious you are with me.
lt was highly unprofessional.
And if you need me to, l will resign from HankMed, effective immediately.
Resign? Please.
l No.
l don't care about that.
What l care about is you.
Are you okay? No.
No.
l'm not.
But l've got it under control.
ls there anything l can do? (CRYlNG) No.
No, but, uh Oh, but thank you so much for being you.
(SOBBlNG) l'm sorry.
My point is that everything Dad did, he did to be with us.
Yeah, and my point is that you learned that from his criminal defense attorney.
You see, this is why people like me better than you, Hank.
You're a gray cloud.
l'm a silver lining, myself.
Wait.
People like you better than me? They will, when they find out about my new yacht! Oh, God.
l'm a yacht owner.
l own a yacht, a giant yacht.
What do you think about the name Fairway to Evan? Hmm.
You spend a lot of time on that one? Like two hours.
lt's a good use of your time.
And, Evan, it's a boat.
Just for that, l now have an extra spot at the christening.
No, please, please, let me come! Uh-uh.
No, no, nope.
Hey, Hank.
Hey.
Captain Stubing.
(ALL LAUGHlNG) Make that two extra spots.
This is for you.
Really? Thank you, Jill.
(LAUGHS) Um, knickers.
Yeah.
They're a consolation prize.
Why do l need to be consoled? l'm about to pick up my brand-new yacht.
Yeah.
About that Oh, l don't know where this is going, but l like it.
All right, what? JlLL: Uh While l was still loopy from the meds, l may have let it slip that you work for HankMed.
So? So tournament employees aren't eligible for prizes.
As well they shouldn't be.
Well l'm a l'm a yachtsman without a yacht.
l look freaking ridiculous now.
Yeah.
That's why you look ridiculous.
(WHlSPERS) Be nice.
l'm gonna go change.
Okay.
Don't forget your knickers.
Evan, l'm sorry.
(SlGHS) So You're taking up golf? Yeah.
Bam! lt's not so hard.
l don't see what the big deal is.
You want to play? l'll take you down.
(LAUGHlNG) Really? Nah, l can't.
l just wanted to give Evan his knickers.
And thank you for that.
Yeah, and to apologize for anything l may have said while loopy.
Oh, yeah, no No idea what you're talking about.
So l didn't say anything stupid? l'm afraid l can't say.
Doctor-patient confidentiality.
Oh, come on, Hank, l'm the patient.
No, that was a Jill l have never seen before.
You sure you don't want to putt? l can't.
Jack's waiting.
Jack? Jack.
Right.
Okay.
Yeah, no, that's cool.
Yeah.
So, you know, whether you heard or not, or whether l said it or not, l'm sorry for anything too stupid l may have let slip.
What if l may have kind of liked it? You may have? Yeah, l may have.
l don't know, with everything that happened with my father, l guess it's made me reassess things.
What kind of things? All kinds of things.
But let's not do this now.
Jack's waiting Yeah.
Yeah.
Another time? Yeah, some other time.
l miss you, too.
Who doesn't love the beach? (CHUCKLES) lt's calming.
That's good for you.
Yeah, but the Hamptons can be stressful, right? Which isn't good for you.
Dad, do you ever think maybe there's someplace else where you might be more comfortable? Yeah, no, 'cause, l mean, this is so grueling.
Wow.
Why would you want to stay here? Look, there are climates more comfortable where Dad could You know, could convalesce.
Why are you speaking like that? (STAMMERS) l got my two boys, Ms.
Newberg Look at this view.
Does it get any better than this? Come on.
Schmoopy! Oh, would you look at her? ls that a dream? (LAUGHS) Oh, you know what? Somebody should go and help her.
And my heart l would, but Oh, l got it.
No, no, l got to get another beer anyway.
Thank you, Evan.
Thanks, Evan.
l have a confession to make.
Oh, God.
Here we go.
What? l can't swim.
There, l said it.
Okay.
Eddie R.
Lawson cannot swim.
l can't even dog paddle to safety.
What are you talk We used to swim all the time when we were little.
l remember, we No, you remember me saying l could swim, me bragging about how much of a Like a fish l was.
That was just all talk.
All right, okay.
So you can't swim.
You're telling me this why? Because when l told you l could swim, that was the first lie l ever told you.
Okay.
So But why lie about that? l Because l didn't want to be the guy who couldn't do everything.
l wanted to be your hero.
We didn't need you to be our hero.
l needed it.
You know how some people have, like, um, a near-death experience, and it just changes their life? That happen to you? No, l'm too old to have anything change me.
But l swear to you, there was a moment when l saw you and Evan as little boys.
Yeah, when you had your heart attack, there was a moment l thought we were gonna lose you.
Really? Yeah.
And l realized l don't want to lose you.
l couldn't.
l can't.
l guess what l'm trying to say is, uh l want you to stick around to be our dad.
You're giving me a second chance.
Call it a mulligan.
