Kill the alarm!

Hold up. It's not working.

Got to open him.

How long to go back on?

lt'll take me minutes.

Come on! Nothing.

Knife.

Internal paddles. Charge to .

Ready.

Hit it.

Go to .

Hit it.

No response.

Tom, I got to get back on bypass here.

Almost there.

Give me more minutes.

Come on.

Don't do this.

He's going.

He's not going anywhere.

Come on, don't do this!

Damn it, come on!

Tom!

Come on!

Mrs. Balford?

Where's the doctor?

- I'm the doctor.

- I'm sorry.

I operated on your husband.

How is he?

He didn't survive.

What?

We were able to restore

blood flow to the heart...

...but he developed a lethal arrhythmia

and we couldn't resuscitate him.

Wait. I'm sorry, I don't understand.

A what?

I'm sorry.

Excuse me. I'm sorry.

What did you say?

What?

Oh, my God!

On the table, on my table. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. What happened?

What happened?

A graft occlusion? What?

It was textbook. It was textbook.

I'm so sorry.

The room got so big.

I was so small.

How did I get so small?

I should've gone back on.

I should've massaged longer.

I should've gone back on.

Massaged longer. I lost it.

I lost it.

Have you ever been seen, Cassiel?

You're looking at me.

No, not by me, and not

by the dying or the delirious.

Have you ever been seen...

...like you were a man?

In a diner once, a blind woman

turned to me all of a sudden...

...and asked me to pass her the mustard.

- But she was blind.

- But she knew I was there.

That doctor in the operating room...

...she looked right at me.

She didn't see you, Seth.

She can't see you.

No one can see you

unless you want them to.

And if I want her to?

Why do you want her to?

To help her.

Open it!

Open it now!

Everybody down!

Do it! Do it!

Sh*t! Just give him the money.

Did I leave the lights on?

I left the lights on.

I should have gone to Ralphs.

- Do it!

- Relax. I'm doing it, okay?

I never saw the Grand Canyon.

I'll never see my grandkids again.

What am I doing?

Just be cool. Be cool.

Be cool, man.

Be cool.

Holy sh*t!

They don't need to see us.

You're early.

What's going on?

Ferris was looking for you.

Don't I have a mitral valve to do?

They canceled it.

Who canceled it?

Sheffield.

Why are you telling me?

He was busy.

He was chickenshit.

- Maggie, you're sick.

- I'm not sick.

You're sick.

You can't operate.

They've rescheduled for Monday.

An elective valve, no big deal.

It is unprofessional, and it

embarrasses me in front of my staff.

I saw the chart on Balford.

I'm on the committee.

It's on review.

- It wasn't your fault.

- I know.

Then what's the problem?

I don't know.

You put up a terrific fight.

We fight for people's lives, right?

Don't you ever wonder who

it is we're fighting with?

So I'm crazy and chemically imbalanced.

You're tired.

You have moments.

Why didn't you call me?

Because I never sleep

when you stay over.

You never sleep whether

I stay over or not.

You're good.

You know it.

Come back Monday

and get back on the horse.

Doctor?

I'll see you.

"As I walk along the stony shore

of the pond in my shirtsleeves..."

"...Amazon basin in the north,

once an island sea..."

"The highest truth on the

subject remains unsaid...

...probably cannot be said.

For all that we say is the far-off

remembering of the intuition..."

"...she begins to pull away from

the awareness she had once..."

"Commencing search."

Searching my soul.

What happened to the cards?

You could touch the cards.

She's been looking
