Connie Tapos.

her boyfriend almost killed her last year

when she tried to leave.

She's scared to death to press charges-

- Hello!

- Hi.

- Connie Tapos?

- Yes.

My name is Ben Thomas.

I'm with the IRS.

But I always pay my taxes.

Yes, this is more of a general inquiry.

I don't understand ...

- Beautiful

- Gracias

What are you talking about?

You know what I'm talking about.

No, I have no idea what you are talking about

You say you were from the IRS

but you are lying to me.

- No.

- You're not telling me the truth. Who sent you here?

You're coming to my house and talking to me about

"Mi caso y mi boyfriend?"

- Your children are in danger here.

You don't know what you're talking about.

You don't have to live like this, I can help you

You don't know me. Get out of my

house now or I'm gonna call the police.

- Okay, okay ...

- Who are you?

- I want you to take my card.

- I don't need your help.

- You can call me anytime. I'm gonna leave it right here.

- I don't need it.

- You're not helpless.

- Can you just leave my house, this is my house.

- Get out of my house now

I can't talk right now.

No! I need to talk with you immediately.

Where are you?

- I'm nowhere.

- Listen' I'm gonna meet you at the house okay?

No, not at the house.

I'm traveling.

- I'll talk to you next week.

- No, we need to discuss this right now!

- How are you doing you two?

- I'm good.

- What a big day.

- Yes. No more dialysis, George.

- See you in the OR.

- Yes.

I'll see you there aswell.

- Yes, sir.

- Thank you.

So I've heard you've raised enough-

money to give a couple of the

kids partial scholarship to college.

Eh, it's no big deal.

I just convinced a couple of big wigged donors

that what the world really needs to see is

More latinos on ice

You know, Ben,

I keep asking you this,

but why me?

- Because you, are a good man.

- No, really.

Even when you don't know

that people are watching you.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello!?

Uhm, okay I can't hear you

so try back again.

I'm gonna hang up now. Bye!

Mr Thomas?

We're ready for you.

These are beautiful!

Oh, Banana peels. who knew?

Emily?

Can I get you a refill?

- Susan?

- Yes.

- How is Ryan?

- He's good. He's with his dad this weekend.

Will you tell him for me that

I'm ready whenever he is for free lesson.

Yeah, alright. Things are kinda crasy

right now in school but, maybe when schools up.

That's perfect.

How's the pie?

It's good.

You're gonna ask her out?

The waitress.

No.

You never know.

I don't think she sees me.

Good night, Ezra.

Hello?

Ben?

Hi, sorry I call so late.

Did anyone from the IRS contact you?

No. I just ...

I was having trouble breething

After I took Duke for a walk.

And I fainted.

An ambulance had to take me to the hospital.

I'm so sorry. I don't know

why I even called you, I'm sorry.

It's just that I have your card with me ...

Ben.

- You still there?

- Yes.

Do you ever think about dying, Ben?

Every now and again.

My face is, blueish.

It's not exactly a good sign.

You should try to rest.

Just see if you can get some sleep.

I like talking to you.

I like, talking to you too.

Would you tell me a story, please?

Okay.

Once upon a time,

There was a little boy named ...

How lucky me, just got

it on reserve like that, okay-

Let me guess.

His name was Ben.

- No, actually, this little boys name is Tim.

- I like the name Tim.

Go on.

Tims little brother was always

pestering Tim

To make him paper airplanes,

because he was really good at it.

But, Tim had much bigger dreams than that.

Okay. Then what happened?

One day, Tim went out to the backyard

And he put leaves and taped branches to his arms

and started climbing their big oak tree.

His little brother said,

"Tim, you can't fly!"

And he said, "Ye you just watch."

He got all the way to the top ...

... and jumped.

How tall was this tree?

It was pretty tall.

He broke his arm.

Oh my god, this is a horrible story.

No, no!

It gets better.

From that experience,

Tim realized that he wanted to fly.

So he dedicated his life to making space ships.

I thought you said this was a good story.

Oh well, that is ...

... until the dragons showed up .

Okay, I see. Now it's getting better.

I like dragons.

Especially dragons in space.

Yes, and these were fire breething

space dragons with really bad attitudes

I see ...

I have an idea.

Why don't you try to fall asleep,

and when you do. I'll just hang up.

- Okay. Ben ...

- Yes.

Thank you for listening ...

and for talking.

Try to fall asleep.

Good night, Ben.

Good night, Emily.

Emily ...

Emily?

I lied to you.

I think about dying every day.

Dr. Khane to NICU Dr. Wesley Khane to NICU

Hey.

When did you get here?

Last night, after we talked.

You slept here?

Good morning.

How is our patient?

- Morning. Better.

- Good.

- Hello.

- Hi. Ben, Is that right? IRS?

- Yes, how are you?

- Good thank you.

- I'll leave you two ...

- No, stay, please don't go.

- He can stay.

- Whatever you want.

You fainted because your heart was to weak-

-to pump enough blood to your brain.

It's the ( ) starting to shut down.

How long?

It's entirely up to your heart.

Could be ...

... six weeks could be a month.

But we've upped you to status 1B.

- At least I'm on the list.

- Not only that, but ...

We're giving you this pager.

And when it goes of, means you have a donor.

The energic drug I started you on

Is gonna stabilize your blood

preasure within 24 hours.

- And then what?

- We wait.

- Can I do that at home?

- Once you're stable, you can.

Okay.

I'm gonna run to the cafeteria

and I'm gonna get you something.

If you want something else,

I can get you something else.

Would you stay?

Unless you got something else

to do ...

I'd really like it if you'd stayed.

I don't have anything.
