What the f***?

Nobody's on to anything.

We are in... the... clear.

We're gonna kill this guy,

and then we're gonna go get

a f***ing martini, okay?

By the time Larry walks back in here,

he'll be toes up

on the slab downstairs.

You gotta be f***ing kidding me.

He knows something's going on.

I just wanna be on bypass

before Larry gets back.

You get no arguments there.

You gotta stand up.

You gotta stand up, Clay.

Take the tape off your eyes

and sh*t out of your throat,

and wake up.

...is if we suddenly

stopped the procedure.

That's it, there you go.

You can do it.

Just open your eyes, Clay.

Open your eyes.

[Puttnam]

I'm not doing this by myself.

[gasps]

I'm telling you,

if this thing goes sour,

if this guy looks like he's

figuring something out,

I'm pulling the plug

on this whole thing so quickly.

I'm not kidding, Eugene.

Hey, will you help me

with these stitches, please?

[Jack]

I'm too young to go to jail right now.

This ain't even worth it.

We're fine, Jack...

All right, now think.

Do you know how many

bullshit malpractice lawsuits

there are in this country?

Think, Clay.

Hard-working doctors, that's just...

Look closer.

You know how many I got?

- Four.

- Yeah, I know.

There's gotta be a way out of this.

All for trying to

save people's lives.

It's a disgrace.

You're gonna be okay.

You're gonna be all right.

You're not gonna die.

I'm sorry.

They called me out of nowhere.

I'll make it up to you, I promise.

Mm-hmm.

You know what? I'm gonna try

and find out what's going on.

- Yeah.

- Okay?

Sit tight. I'll be right back.

Hi. Excuse me.

I was wondering

if you knew the status

on the heart transplant patient?

Mr. Beresford?

Yeah.

I'll call you back.

He's doing just fine.

We're taking

good care of him. Don't worry.

Everything's going according to plan.

Really?

I just came from there.

What is it?

You're not a doctor at this hospital.

I mean, you don't work here, do you?

I'm Dr. Larry Lupin.

Pleasure to meet you.

Mr. Beresford's anesthesiologist.

Will you excuse me a minute?

Fitzpatrick got laryngitis.

They called me in from St. Matthews.

Oh.

I thought Fitzpatrick

was gonna be here.

Yes, me, too,

but we have Larry now.

The players may have changed,

but the game is still the same.

God, look how f***ing obvious.

I understand.

This is Dr. Puttnam.

Pleasure. How's the patient doing?

Okay.

Everything all right?

I don't get it, Jack.

Why?

Is she asleep?

Oh, no, no. Everything's fine.

Just, um, just give her a kiss for me,

and tell her I'll be home soon.

Good. Thanks.

Say that again.

Wife!

What'd I ever do to you?

What did she do to you?

Huh?

How the f***

could you do this to us?

[Puttnam]

What are you doing in here?

[Sam]

I wanted to see how it was going.

Sam.

How's it going? Is everything okay?

Yeah.

Sam.

They're trying to kill me.

I just had an interesting chat

with some guy named Larry.

Everything's fine.

You shouldn't be in here.

No, don't trust him, baby.

He's lying to you.

Are you sure everything's fine?

There is nothing wrong.

Everything's under control.

Bullshit.

What the hell's going on in here?

That's right. Come on, baby.

Where the f*** is Fitzpatrick?

I just spoke to him.

He's at home.

What do you mean, he's at home?

- He's backing out.

- He's backing out?

What?

He can't back out.

Do you want me to call him back?

No, he's an idiot.

We'll deal with him later.

What about this Larry guy?

Does he have a clue?

None. What about her?

Are you kidding?

She's ready to adopt me.

Everything's fine.

Everything is fine, right?

Right?

Jack, you okay?

Jack?

Get her a gown.

What about Larry?

I'll watch for him. Just hurry.

[Penny]

Guys, finish putting him on bypass.

Jack.

It was my idea, Sam. You know?

Jesus.

I can pull the plug if I want to.

Everything is working, Jack.

Okay?

There he is.

- I got him to marry me.

- The man of the hour.

The hard part's over.

[Jack]

This is Dr. Puttnam. Sam.

Sam, I've heard a lot about you.

[crash]

Christ, they know her.

Sorry, I'm late.

I had a hard time getting a sitter.

Penny Carver.

Pleasure to meet you.

Nice to meet you, too.

Sorry about him.

I'm used to it by now.

So...

How the hell do they all know her?

[Sam]

We didn't waste a year of our lives

for nothing, did we, Jack?

Nobody knows I worked your team.

What?

I changed my name.

We're clear.

We're totally in the clear.

[Jack]

Yeah, they're all mine.

Kind of depressing to know that

your whole life can just fit on one wall.

My dream is to one

day fill up this one.

Jack, you know how much

we owe from the lawsuits.

The insurance won't cover it.

I can't just kill him, Sam.

This is our only way out.

Without this money, we're finished.

He has to die.

I am f***ed.

It's just money, Sam.

I'd rather stay in debt than go to jail.

Jesus, Jack.

Grow some f***ing balls.

Hey, I started this

whole thing, remember?

He landed on my table, I brought you in,

I brought all y'all in.

It's my choice.

And I wasn't the one that nearly

screwed this whole thing up, was I?

[Penny]

He's right, you know.

I would've had that ring on my finger

in two months.

Really?

Well, if you hadn't got knocked up,

maybe you would've had

the chance, wouldn't you?

[Jack]

Just go, Penny, all right?

Jack, think about it.

No more triple shifts.

No more 30-hour days.

Even if we settle the will, we're rich.

You know what

He's a transplant patient, Jack.

They all die eventually.

Yeah.

They all die eventually.

Look at me.

This isn't about her.

I'm so sorry.

I'm not risking your life

on some second-rate doctor.

He's my friend, Mother. I trust him.

I really wish

you'd start trusting me.

[Jack]

Quickly. Watch the vein.

All right, it's almost there.

Oh, sh*t.

I got it.

All right, I need some suction.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Please, God, no.

- Just get that side, too.

- Okay.

Oh, no, please, God.

No.

Aah!

[Penny]

It's right here.

Thank you.

You sure Larry's not close?

[Penny]

We're fine. Don't worry.

[Puttnam]

We gotta hurry all the same, okay, Jack?

Let's just keep it moving.

[Jack]

All right, just pass over the new heart.

What?

Pass over the new heart.

But we haven't injected it yet.

Pass it over.

What are you doing?

Where's the syringe?

Give it to me.

Come on.

Move your f***ing hand.

Now, I want you to take this.

Inject the heart,

and put it in the body, okay?

You led us here.

Finish what you started.

Just do it, Jack.

Let's get this over with.

Sorry, baby.

He really loved you, Sam.

He didn't even know me, Jack.

We never even met.

Wait. Hold on.

Holy sh*t.

Oh, holy sh*t.

Is he okay?

Is everything okay?

They wouldn't say.

You were gone so long.

- I know.

- I started...

I know.

I'm scared, too.

Hey, guys.

Survive without me?

So far, so good. Smooth sailing.

Forceps.

Oh, you guys are flying.

- Yeah.

- Watch your flow.

Larry. Larry, Larry.

Look at my eye.
