Royal Pains s03e16 Episode Script

This One's For Jack

Previously on Royal Pains Wanna go fishing tomorrow morning? Didn't you just say you have an appointment with Dr.
Greene tomorrow morning? He never came in for the procedure.
What? - How's Jack? - Not so hot.
I had him rest while we head back to shore.
I have a fully fleshed out business plan.
I know that's your plan.
But what if it's not my plan? It's my job to grow the business.
Not this business.
Not this way.
I purposefully kept the family away from this event, Claudette, so what are you doing here? The Rateniczes thought that a christening was the ideal place to extend an olive branch.
Your parents cut you off, and his parents stuck you with the wedding bill.
It's not right.
Here's my pitch, I buy your 1/3 stake in Hankmed.
- Evan - The moment you can buy it back, it's yours again.
Sure there are more than enough medical professionals to keep an eye on me overnight.
I'm not staying as your doctor.
I'm staying as your friend.
We lost him.
Jack's dead.
So I I'm supposed to fly to London tomorrow, but someone's passed away, and I need to change my plans.
Yeah, I'll hold.
Let's just move Jill's nephew to next week.
Luke starts camp next week.
Okay, then, uh you see Luke, and we'll just move the Grants to next week.
The Grants are leaving for Hawaii this weekend.
Wow, okay, so why don't there's the, um this is harder than Sudoku.
Can't Dr.
Van Dyke fill in again? He wasn't Hankmed material.
No follow-through.
You know, if I'd had more time to mentor him, yeah, he could've become a world-class concierge doctor Yeah, hi, I need to postpone my flight.
No, please don't put me on hold again.
Or just do it anyway.
Babe, you didn't even know him, so you don't have to be there.
Are you gonna be there? - Yeah.
- Then so will I.
Yes, hi, I'm here.
Okay, why don't you just tell me which clients are in town next week.
Okay, I am talking yeah, the the red-eye Friday could work.
What are you guys doing? We're, uh, just changing some plans around.
Why? Well you took a two-hour walk yesterday, and an even longer one this morning, so So? Henry, I didn't know Jack very well, but I know you.
I know what you're feeling right now, and I know why, so Just let me handle everything.
Seriously.
At least till after the funeral.
First of all, Evan, I don't need you to handle anything, and second of all, there won't be any funeral.
I checked with Jack's attorney, and Jack's attorney checked Jack's will.
It specified that he didn't want a funeral.
Well, I guess that does sound like Jack.
The will prohibited moping too.
Hmm? Hmm? This is Hank.
How can I make you feel better today? Bobby not able to push out.
It's okay, Mrs.
Sesumi.
It's okay.
Let me just take a look.
- Hey, guys.
- Hey.
Whoa.
Okay.
Can you guys tell me how he did it? We were just making our little movie down in the woods.
Uh, we took a lunch break, and the next thing we knew, Bobby was sucking face with this chocolaty beverage.
Shut up! I'm Devon.
Uh, I got your number from my friend Tucker Bryant.
We don't need an ambulance, okay? If I can break the suction, I should be able to remove Bobby's tongue.
Hold that, Bobby? Okay.
Okay, I'm gonna anesthetize the inside of your mouth.
- Mm! - All right.
I know it pinches a little bit.
- Ow! - Okay.
Good job, bud.
Here we go.
One, two, three.
- Ah! - I know, I know.
There we go.
Okay, okay.
That's in.
That's it.
There we go.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Okay, Mrs.
Sesumi, okay.
Bobby.
So, uh, which one of you is older? I'm the ranking brother here.
That's a big title, Devon.
That means it's your job to take better care of your little brother.
'Cause I'd really rather not be back here this weekend.
Got it? - Got it.
- Okay.
- That was perfect.
- Yeah.
- Nina.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Hank.
Um did you get my messages? Uh, yeah, I did, I did.
I'm sorry for not calling back.
Well, I, um I just I thought maybe you might wanna debrief.
You mean talk? Yeah.
I mean talk.
- You okay? - Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, it's it's never easy with with someone so young and full of life.
And you? Yeah, yeah.
I'm working through it.
Hank, you did everything you could.
Yeah, then I guess there's not much to, uh debrief about.
Sorry, I gotta run.
But I'll give you a call later.
Oh.
Can I help you? No, sorry.
I'm good.
Royal Pains 3x16 - This One's For Jack Original air date February 22, 2012 Peaceful relations are important to the entire family.
That might have been considered before the attempt on my life.
Not to mention the attempt on Marisa's.
Neither of which was orchestrated by the Von Jurgens.
Which is why I am here to set things right.
Yeah.
Well, your branch of the family has always been known for its diplomacy.
Thank you.
Nein, Friedrich, danke.
It's also been known for its naked ambition, shall we say? So, then, Claudette, why else are you here? Money.
Venture capital, to be specific.
Voila.
So the tradition of the Von Jurgens approaching Kuesters with their hat in hand is alive and well.
It's an intriguing idea.
But I'd like to vet it.
Vet it how? By watching you present it to a potential client.
Evan, I'm here.
- Okay, close your eyes.
- What? - Close your eyes.
Close 'em.
- Okay Close.
Whoa.
What's this for? So I uploaded all my pictures of me, and then I set the display so you're gonna get per hour, 24 hours a day, for the full eight weeks you're in Britain.
And just so you won't be staring at me the whole time, put some pictures of us in there.
Aw.
Thank you.
- It's awesome.
- So where are the rest of your bags? What do you mean? This is it.
- What about my checklist? - Evan, I am gonna be painting the whole time I'm there in jeans and a T-shirt.
Did you pack a raincoat? Um Are you kidding me? You're kid England invented rain.
Fine.
I'll take yours.
You'll be glad you did.
Okay.
For what it's worth, you were right about the rain thing.
And I made you some tea, by the by.
Thank you.
Wait, why are you admitting I was right about something? I owe you one.
I mean, a big one.
I can't tell you what a relief it is to wake up in the morning without that debt to Raj's parents just weighing on me.
You don't owe me anything, okay? The only thing you owe me is bringing back vintage Divya, 'cause this is starting to feel like The Twilight Zone.
Hankmed.
Hi.
Yes? Uh, I understand.
I will be there.
Great.
Boris wants to have a Hankmed business meeting.
I gotta go.
What about Hank? Hank, uh, has enough to deal with.
You don't think that, uh, Hank can grieve and do business at the same time? Trust me, I've seen this before.
Recently? Nope, about 20 years ago.
Hey, Evan, I I hope you don't mind me saying so, but isn't there a difference between losing Jack and losing your mum? Hank doesn't deal with tragedy well.
The day our mom died was the day his childhood ended, and ever since then, he's taken responsibility for everyone and everything, and he always refused to share it.
So this time, I can help carry the load.
Good luck at the meeting, then.
Okay.
Okay, so please stop being so nice to me.
It's making me feel very uncomfortable.
Thank you.
Babe, I'll be back soon.
I love you, bye.
Love you too.
Miss you already, bye.
- Ha.
Hey.
- Hey, what's up? Not much.
I just, uh can't really socialize 'cause I'm running late.
Late for what? Now I'm even later.
Evan.
I have a meeting with Boris.
Really? About what? I don't know.
I'll tell you after the meeting.
He set a meeting with you.
One-on-one.
He asked for Hankmed's business expertise, so I figured I'd cover for you, because you've got enough to deal with.
Evan, I'm fine, thank you, and if there's a Hankmed meeting with Boris, business or otherwise, I'm gonna be there.
- Okay.
- Okay.
All right, let's go, then.
Come on, Richard.
Isn't that all a spring shoe needs? A sense of whimsy and a pointed gold toe? De belles chaussures.
I'll call you later.
The editor of French Vogue and I disagree on what women are lusting after this year.
Ah.
Ce n'est pas un probleme.
So, Ms.
Adams, I see that Dr.
Van Dyke examined you last week when he was working with us.
He did, but he never called me back with my test results.
Let me apologize on his behalf.
I see that your coronary artery disease is stable.
Are you still taking the sublingual nitroglycerin - for chest pain? - I am.
But why are tightness and pressure so bad in the morning? Well, well, let's find out, shall we? Head back.
- Ah.
- Ah.
- Ah.
- Ah.
Are you ever sleepy during the day? At night, I wake up every two hours to a call about a fashion emergency in some far-flung corner of the world, so, yes.
I'm always tired during the day, but that's the life of a fashion consultant.
Did anyone ever tell you that you have a deviated septum? No, but I don't let too many people have a look around in there.
Well, it may be giving you obstructive sleep apnea, which, in conjunction with your coronary disease, could be causing nocturnal angina, and that could put you at risk for arrhythmias, and, uh, even a heart attack.
So I'd like to take you to a sleep center so we can monitor you at night.
I'm sorry.
That's not gonna be possible.
I have a new men's collection to critique and review.
Okay.
Then I'll just bring the sleep center to you.
As you can see, we've already established ourselves in the E.
U.
, but we all know that real success requires penetrating the American market.
And we all know that concierge medicine and technology go hand in hand.
Your practice is all about portability and efficiency, is it not? - Uh-huh.
- Yeah.
This is our sales brochure.
Thank you.
I mean, Europe does always get the coolest gadgets first.
Mr.
Lawson, you're the C.
F.
O.
Tell me from a corporate and strategic perspective, what do you think of this technology? I think it's awesome.
Hank? What about you? I think it's worth discussing.
We'll get back to you, Claudette.
Yeah, uh, while we're here thanks for your time.
So that's the smart scale.
Uh, she's also got a smart band-aid that can monitor your vitals and even call your doctor for you.
And she's got a smart phone that can double as a stethoscope and an ECG, it's insane.
You see big opportunity, I can tell.
How can you tell? Because when you get excited, you talk.
And you're talking a lot right now.
I guess I just wanna talk about anything right now except you leaving.
Yeah, I don't wanna say goodbye either.
Come on.
This job is gonna be a life-changing experience for you.
Mm-mm.
It'll be an experience.
Evan, my life is perfect right now.
I don't need it to change.
You're scared.
Paige.
Is this your first real job? Like, ever? I dated an American idol.
They paid us to show up at nightclubs.
I wouldn't put that on your resume if I were you.
Evan, I just I've never had to report to anyone before.
You know, let alone had anyone report to me.
I've never had to navigate workplace politics, and I've never had to make anyone happy that they hired me.
I just I All you have to do is trust your instincts.
They're the reason you got this job.
They're the reason you're gonna crush this job.
And they're the reason you ended up with me.
Instead of Kris Allen? Let's not start naming idols.
- He's the only one I know.
- Okay.
- Besides Kelly and Ruben.
- Yeah.
And Fantasia.
And Carrie.
And Taylor, Jordin, David, Lee, and Scotty.
You know.
Them.
Boys, they say to me it's a poison.
- A poison? - Yeah.
From the o o oak.
Oh.
No.
This isn't poison oak, Mrs.
Sesumi.
These are burns.
Aren't they, brothers Sesumi? - Burn? - Mm-hmm.
How you boys burn? What you burn? Why you burn in house? Not in the house, grandma.
Don't get hysterical.
We were out back, - making our little movie.
- Yeah, guys, tell me again, what kind of little movie are you making exactly? Romantic drama.
Comedy.
Musical.
It's a romantic dramedy with music.
Uh-huh.
Okay.
After I'm done with you, I'd like a set visit, please.
You're delayed? For how long? I miss you already.
Feels like you've been gone forever.
It's been 131 minutes.
Yeah.
Paige, I'm gonna call you right back, okay? Yeah.
Bye.
Hi, Claudette.
And please come on in.
I was just looking for a pen so I could leave you a note.
- Okay.
- I wanted to follow up on our meeting, see if you had any questions.
None so far.
And I also had a thought.
What kind of thought? Maybe I could accompany you on a house call.
Oh, you wanna see Hankmed in action.
The better I get to know your clientele, the better I can recommend products to help them, and help you.
Okay, sure.
Uh, we'll just find a good time Let's say this afternoon, shall we? - This afternoon - I'm looking forward to it.
Huh.
So I'm guessing you do really stupid stuff and film it, taking full advantage of your grandma, who has no idea what's going on back here.
And that's how Bobby got his tongue stuck in the bottle? No, he just didn't wanna share his drink.
I only yelled "action" after it happened.
Guys, I wanna see your movie.
You and everyone else, hopefully, once we upload it on YouTube.
I mean now, Devon.
So what did you think? I think you're taking some pretty big risks for your little movie.
My dad built 100 cell phone stores by taking risks.
That's impressive.
And if you like, as soon as he gets back from safari, I can tell him all about your attempts to take after him.
You have no idea how lucky you are to walk away with only minor burns.
And if you wanna put yourself in harm's way, that's bad enough.
You shouldn't be putting your brothers there with you.
Sorry, guys, time to shut down production.
Okay, Panky.
What are our three rules for teeing off? Okay, swing through the ball, not to it.
Through the ball.
Keep the clubface square.
And most important, breathe.
Let's see it.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Zero out of three ain't bad.
Panky, let's see it again, champ.
What? I'm sorry.
That's not professional.
I just you know what, Panky? You're just gonna have to get used to being my abused little student, because you, my friend, might just be a lifer.
Okay, in and out.
Again.
All right, one more time.
Good.
This is my first time doing a camp physical.
My first time going to camp.
And it's a very competitive camp.
All chess camps are competitive, aunt Jill.
Okay.
I'm gonna need you to fill that up for me, grand master.
All right.
So how are you doing? Hanging in there.
It's not just the sadness, Hank.
It's also the guilt.
What do you feel guilty about? Well, I I keep replaying the boat over and over in my head, and the second I realized how sick he was, why why didn't I force him back to shore? Jill, you got a hold of me as soon as you could, which is the only reason Nina and I were there waiting as soon as you docked.
And then you got him rushed to the hospital.
There was nothing else you could've done.
Thanks.
So how are you doing? I'm, uh Yeah.
Yeah.
It's not like losing a patient in the E.
R.
, is it? I never get the chance to know those patients.
Lucky for you.
Yeah.
Remind me again why she's here.
To observe, that's all.
You know, though, the patient didn't have to agree to this.
And neither did you, and then you remembered that you owe me one.
You said that I didn't owe you one.
And I was wrong.
It happens.
Look, when my C.
F.
O.
instincts speak to me, I have to listen to them.
What are they saying, exactly? They're saying that this could be a very lucrative opportunity for Hankmed.
In fact, it's too bad you sold me all your shares in the company.
I think we're about to go Google.
So, Grace, how did it go last night - with the sleeping monitor? - Fabulous.
- Fabulous, really? - Yep.
The test was incomplete.
Did you have trouble attaching the device? No.
But I did have trouble sleeping with it.
So by fabulous I mean horrendous.
We'll try again tonight.
But this time, I'll be here to monitor you myself.
This is my company's smart shirt.
Embedded within the fabric are respiration sensors that measure the patient's breathing patterns.
- Very clever.
- Yeah.
I'm dying to see how it works.
Excellent.
I'm sorry, I you may have taken me too literally.
I assure you, it's just a shirt with some wires.
- It's 100% safe.
- Um I'm sure it is.
At least 90%.
So, uh how does it transmit? Just like your sleep monitor.
But it's cordless, and far more comfortable.
Well, how long has it been in use? For three years in five different markets.
Ugh! Whoo! All righty.
Oh, I like the Flashdance thing.
Oh, this is It's surprisingly cozy.
This lets a medical professional download the data set for analysis.
Well, it seems like great technology.
But I couldn't just hand it off to a patient.
I'll need to find the right time to discuss it with Hank.
Yeah, yeah.
I'll handle that.
I'd also like to be there, uh, myself to monitor its use.
Of course.
I completely understand.
I'll stop by tomorrow to follow up on this.
Thanks.
I'll go call Grace.
Hey.
Hey.
Why are you wearing a smart shirt? You know what this is? Yeah, I read about it recently.
Sounds like great technology.
- Yeah.
- So I got a message from Divya ripping into me for not following up with a patient.
Grace Hay Adams? Yeah, she told me.
Don't sweat it.
I know follow-up isn't really your strong suit.
Well, that's what I came by to tell her.
I did follow up.
With Hank.
I left him a message yesterday, I figured that, as her primary of record, - he would wanna call her.
- Oh.
Yeah, absolutely.
Uh, yesterday was a pretty rough day for him, so I appreciate you coming by to let me know.
I came by to let Divya know.
Right, right.
Uh, yeah, she's out on the patio.
- Thanks, dude.
- Yeah.
Huh.
Hi, Mrs.
Sesumi, you called again.
I try make boys be more safer, but all they want is, uh, shoot, shoot, shoot movies.
And, uh, and shoot self.
And with now big wheels.
I worry.
Mrs.
Sesumi, your grandsons are very stubborn.
I wish there was something I could do, but I I just I don't know what that is.
Please, doctor.
My only family.
Okay, okay.
Let me let me see what I can do.
Uh, when you said "big wheels" Devon, stop! No, Devon! Whoa! Whoo! This is awesome! Yahoo! Aw, cool! Whoo! - Devon! - Devon! Devon! Devon! Not responsive.
Okay.
We need to logroll him.
Here, you get your hands under his body there.
You get your hands under his leg.
On three.
One, two, three.
Roll That's it.
Easy.
Okay.
Good.
Okay, Devon Okay, Devon, you need to lie still.
Okay.
Do you have pain anywhere? Guys, I need you to grab me those bungee cords and a surfboard.
Are you gonna do a stunt for us? No, I'm gonna stabilize Devon's spine.
Go! Okay, Devon, can you feel this? Yes.
Can you feel this? Okay, can you move your hands and feet? Can I get up now? No, Devon, you have to relax.
But I think I know what went wrong.
I gotta try it again.
Devon, you could've severely injured your spinal cord, and that could mean permanent paralysis.
As in no more stunts or walking ever.
You need to stop this now.
Doc, I'll be more careful this time.
This isn't a negotiation.
I'm the doctor, and you're the patient.
- But I wanna - No! No more buts.
You have to listen to me, Jack.
Who? Was the smart shirt uncomfortable? Actually, it was surprisingly cozy, and a very slimming color.
So then I have to video chat with a client in Sydney.
How do you manage it? Keeping all those plates spinning 'round the world? After my car accident I was told that I would never be able to walk down a runway again.
I thought my career was over.
Hearing that was more painful than the crash itself.
I hated that pain.
And, being hyper-competitive, I needed to beat that pain.
I had expertise to offer, so I applied for jobs.
But I had to compete against people who didn't need ramps built just for them.
So I went to work for myself.
And for the first time in my life, I became truly independent.
I know.
I know it sounds crazy.
No, not at all.
I guess sometimes you find strength and independence in the last place you want to look.
According to your newest fashion statement, you do indeed suffer from sleep apnea.
Look, the results are measured in apneic spells per hour.
How often you stopped breathing.
Anything over five times an hour is considered abnormal.
You averaged 20 times.
I don't remember waking up that many times.
Because of your deviated septum, not enough oxygenated blood is getting into your heart.
Can we fix it? Mm-hmm.
Luckily, a rhinoplasty can correct the deviated septum, and help prevent the nocturnal angina.
What are the odds anyone in my business will believe I got a nose job for medical reasons? Hey.
Hey.
You're here early.
Uh, yeah, I was in the E.
R.
all night waiting to run tests on a teenage patient.
Lucky for him, he's almost as indestructible as he thinks.
Good.
I think.
Uh, yeah.
He's he's fine.
But it's not why you're here, is it? No, it's not.
How are you, Hank? I'm pissed.
At him.
So pissed.
For going fishing instead of getting his dialysis.
For for not listening to me.
But mostly just for dying.
He was an infuriating patient.
- Yeah, yeah, he was.
- But to you, he he wasn't just a patient.
You lost a friend, Hank.
Yeah.
The, uh the downside of concierge medicine.
He was my friend.
I just miss him, you know? I miss him.
Me too.
Remember when you brought him to my office for the first time? Yeah, when we gave him his treatment options.
Whoa, what was Tom Bosley like? Was Bosley all hands? Was he like - was he like - Come on, Jack.
This is serious.
I mean, we can lay out your options, but at the end of the day, it's your decision.
So what you're saying is, they both have risks, so I might as well flip a coin.
Uh, that's actually not what we're saying.
Who wants to call it? Sorry, but I have an issue with making major life decisions by coin toss.
- I share his issue.
- Yeah.
Come on, guys.
Everything in life is a 50/50 proposition.
Either it happens or it doesn't.
Why not leave it to a coin toss? Yeah, no, sure.
And for anything more complicated, we can just bust out the magic 8-ball.
Come on, Panky.
I look Serious things, they don't always have to be serious.
Even a half-robot, half-alien knows that.
I never did get to confess to him.
Con confess? Uh, yeah.
That, uh I was the child actress in that ridiculous little sitcom.
- Really? - Yes.
Yeah, I know.
I know.
He had me pegged from the start.
Yeah, he did.
But he really wanted to hear me admit it, didn't he? - Almost more than anything.
- Mm-hmm.
I think I just figured out a way to make it up to him.
Just because he didn't want us to mourn his death, doesn't mean we can't celebrate his life.
Here we go.
Okay.
This one's for Jack.
You hit it fat, Panky.
- I did indeed.
- Mm, yeah.
I think Jack would've wanted you to have a mulligan.
So about Claudette's smart shirt.
Please tell me it didn't kill the patient.
It diagnosed her.
And rather brilliantly.
I knew it would.
That's why I got three more from her.
I have them in the van.
In case we stumble upon an apnea epidemic on the back nine.
You never know.
And I've just begun browsing Claudette's catalogue too.
Well, you were right to trust your instincts, Evan.
I'm proud of you.
Okay, uh, Divya please.
You have to stop - being nice to me.
- Hey, what are you guys yapping about over there? Uh, sorry, Divya was hitting on me.
It was very awkward for everyone.
Yeah, speaking of awkward, remember that time that Jack stopped by the guest house when I was trying to break up with you? Yeah.
That was some good times.
Jack was the uninvited guest you never wanted to see go.
The opposite of Evan.
She's back.
Okay.
This one's really for Jack.
And most important breathe.
So how old was he anyway? He was 40.
Maybe that's why this was so hard for you.
Ev, this was nothing like that.
- She was the perfect patient.
- No, I remember And what happened to her was totally beyond her control.
I remember that too.
I'm not I'm not comparing Jack to mom, I'm just saying you know, it's gotta bring back some painful memories.
Right? It was the last time either of us lost someone - that we really cared about - Ev, I I really don't feel like being psychoanalyzed right now, please.
All right.
What are those? Um, those are smart shirts.
They diagnose sleep apnea.
Yeah, no, I know what they do.
I read Claudette's brochure.
Why do you have three of them in the trunk? Because after the successful test on Grace Hay Adams, I figured I'd stock up.
Wait, wait, I'm I'm sorry.
You used this on a patient? - Divya would never agree to use - Don't blame Divya.
I told her I was gonna talk to you about it, and then I didn't, because I I was I wanted to give you some space, that's all.
But I'm not an idiot.
I researched the hell out of it to make sure it was safe, and Hank, it works.
That's not the point.
You used a a new device on a patient without consulting me.
If I consulted you, you would've said no.
Yeah, you're right, I would have, because we run a medical practice, not a Sharper Image franchise.
Okay.
I think this is something we have to pursue.
As a company.
We we in fact, I know it is.
It's it's Hank when we settled out here, you had nothing to lose.
I gave up a lot.
I I gave up my job, I gave up my life, basically, because I believed in you.
I believed in my brother.
When's it gonna be your turn, huh? To believe in me, even a little bit? Evan, I am done fighting with you about the expansion of Hankmed, and not just 'cause your timing sucks.
Sorry to remind you, but I have the letters M.
D.
, so I'm in charge.
- Great.
- Great.
Wait a minute.
So there's something else I haven't had a chance to tell you.
Divya needed some money so I bought her shares in Hankmed.
Which means I now own 2/3 of the company.
- What? - Yeah.
So now that I think about it, I'm in charge.
Well, you're about to increase your ownership even further.
You can have my third too.
But you may wanna change the name of the company.
I quit.
Good.
Hank.
Evan.
You wanna talk about Jack some more? Is Hankmed here to rip into me again? Not exactly.
I want to talk about a job.
