Come on, man. Can you see that?

Why am I crying, huh?

Something's wrong.

Larry. Larry, look.

Come on, man. Look at my eye.

Come on, Larry, look!

[Jack]

Pull it back so I can see...

- Hold on.

- All right, here we are.

- Okay.

- Clamp that.

- Get me the suction.

- All right.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Hold on. Hold on.

Yeah. Yeah.

You got it. Come on.

I'm sorry, I can't

go to the game tonight.

My old lady and I have a date.

You f...

[indistinct chatter]

[Puttnam]

Why don't I give you both tickets?

- [Lupin] Really?

- [Puttnam] Sure.

You can take your old lady.

Make a night of it, go out on the town.

Something's wrong.

I can feel that something's wrong.

What is it?

I can't just sit here like this.

They should have told us something by now.

- Listen to me.

- No, you don't understand.

He's not just my son.

I was a kid when I had him.

He's going to be fine.

We've grown up together.

It's me and him.

He's not going to die.

Not now, not today.

He's going to live.

How can you be so sure?

Because he's got too much to live for.

Well, I've got a big

Halloween party tonight,

but how about

I sneak out afterward?

[Sam]

What's wrong with right now?

Well, I can't. I'm...

I know it's daylight

and all, but I missed you.

You look beautiful, Sam.

- I do?

- Look at you.

[Clay]

Yeah, you do.

I should tell you that more often.

What would the old man

think of you now?

You lost it all, Clay.

Everything he gave you, everything he made,

it's gone.

You gave it all away.

[Puttnam]

Heart's in.

[Jack]

All right, pressure down.

Pressure down.

Okay, release the clamp.

[Puttnam]

Cross-clamp released.

Wait a minute.

Wait, wait, wait.

Something's wrong.

Okay, re... re-clamp.

He's... He's fibbing.

You getting anything?

- Nothing.

- All right, all right.

Charge paddles n... now.

Come on. Now, Penny. Hurry.

You know, you really

shouldn't smoke these things.

It's not good for you.

Especially with your condition.

- My condition?

- Yep.

How do you know

about my condition?

So many details.

I know a lot more

about you than you think.

- I didn't even see.

- Is that a fact?

Of course.

Christ, I missed everything.

What was I looking at?

Was I looking at you?

I hope you're happy, Sam.

And I hope you get what you deserve.

Got nothing?

- Okay.

- Paddles to 20.

- Amio's running.

- Charge.

- [electrical crackle]

- Charge it again.

- [defibrillator charging]

- [Penny] Charge.

Are your lats okay?

Charge it to 40, please.

- [Penny] Jack.

- Jesus.

[Jack]

Charge it one more time, please.

Don't fight it.

[Jack]

Just charge it one more time.

[Penny]

Charge.

- [electrical crackle]

- Marry me.

What?

- Here we go.

- Tonight. Right now.

- Marry me.

- It's the middle of the night.

[Puttnam]

We're losing him.

[Puttnam]

We gotta get him back on bypass.

[Jack]

No, no, no, not yet.

Just one more time.

[Puttnam]

It's over, Jack. He's done.

We have to put him back on...

[Jack]

What about the adrenaline?

[Puttnam]

It won't make a difference.

A shot of adrenaline, please.

Please!

Come on, you son of a b*tch.

Jack.

- Sure there's no air?

- No air.

I'm looking at it.

There's no air.

[Puttnam]

It's over, Jack.

Sh*t.

[Penny]

I'm sorry, Jack.

[Jack]

It's my fault.

[Puttnam]

No.

[Jack]

It's my fault.

[Penny]

Jack, come on.

[Jack]

No, it is. It's...

There's gotta be

something I could have done,

something I could have tried.

Jack, you did everything

you could do.

Did I?

You did all you could do, Jack.

It was a bad heart.

[machines powering down]

We should tell the family.

Any volunteers?

I'll do it.

I'm the one that should

be talking to them.

- I'll go with him.

- Yeah.

Thank you.

So?

He rejected the heart.

We did everything

we could, but the...

the organ failed, and I am so sorry.

The organ failed?

Yes. It wouldn't respond

to the procedure.

But in cases like this,

it's not uncommon for...

Don't you mean you failed?

No, we...

we did everything that we could.

It's just an imperfect procedure.

Say it.

Say what?

I want to hear you say it.

I want to hear you say...

you failed my son.

It shouldn't have been you.

It should never have been you.

I f***ing knew it.

I'm... I'm sorry, Sam.

Um...

I'm afraid we're going

to need your permission

to take him off bypass.

What?

We'll need your permission.

I'm so sorry to have to ask.

I don't understand.

He's alive?

Yes, but his blood's being

pumped by a machine.

He has no heart.

Then get him another heart.

You don't understand.

His blood type's too rare.

We don't have one.

I'm sorry. It's... It's over.

Thank you.

I'll be in the hallway.

Lilith...

Could you leave me

alone for a minute?

Okay.

It's done.

Okay.

[Clay]

Hey.

Hey.

What are you doing?

Hey.

Just wanted to see

if you needed anything.

Wanted to see how you were doing.

I know it's hard to even think about

anything else right now, but...

Are you okay?

You okay?

What are you doing here?

I wasn't staying

out there without you.

She's in here somewhere.

Look around.

God damn it.

Bailey, call the code.

It's too late.

All right,

let's prep her for surgery.

I don't understand.

You're going to live, Clay.

Think I'll take it from here, Jack.

It's too late.

We did everything we could,

but the body rejected the heart.

Well, I think we solved that problem.

I have a strong heart, Clay.

[Neyer]

Let's go.

Let's prep her for transplant.

Always have.

You can go.

We've been prepped.

What do you mean?

You can run.

Police will be here soon.

What'd you use, Jack?

Formaldehy... No, wait.

Adriamycin.

Right.

Less residue.

[Penny]

Guys.

[Puttnam]

Jack, come on. Let's go.

Jack, what are you doing?

Let's go. Now, Jack.

What the hell happened to you?

I told you not to trust them.

I don't get it.

You're telling me that you knew?

No, no. Not at first.

I had no idea.

She did everything right.

And then, she made one little mistake.

She left her purse in the waiting room.

Forget ethics.

You got five minutes.

You know where I'll be.

I don't trust anyone else.

It has to be you.

The mail, Clay.

She still had her mail.

Wait. Jonathan?

Haven't I see you around?

[Lilith]

Only took me a second to put it together.

Sometimes you have

to hold the button down

for a while to get it to work.

[Lilith]

She'd been to that hospital before.

You're not a doctor at this hospital.

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

It's a pleasure to meet you.

[Clay]

Why didn't you just say something?

[Lilith]

There was no time.

You were dying, you needed a heart.

I had no choice.

[machine beeping]

[Neyer]

Get a DLP vent ready.

[Woman]

Doctor, how does he look?

Terrible.

He's been on bypass too long.

Let's prep the new organ.

Still going to attempt transplant?

Well, I might

have to do an autopsy.

Give me a knife and a flat vent.

Sorry, Lilith.

I'm so sorry.

[Woman]

I'm looking for it.

Okay, here we go. Here we go.
