so I just closed down.

I just thought you

didn't want me anymore.

That's crazy.

I pulled away.

PHOEBE:
We both did.

You're here now.

Ice cream?

You said you wanted some.

I did?

In the ambulance.

Oh.

I couldn't get your favorite.

He can't have that.

We're about to cut

open his abdomen.

[coughing]

Can I just...

can I smell it?

Of course you can.

Go ahead.

Hey, would you

get me some water?

Mhm.

That's cold.

Will you stay?

Of course.

Give me a kiss.

Nurse!

Mark!

What's going on with him?

He's diaphoretic.

For

And bradycardia.

Mark, can you hear me?

Mark.

Mark.

Probably autonomic

dysreflexia.

Check under here for any tubing.

- Anything under the sheets here?

- Nothing.

All right, do we

have a cath in him?

No.

All right, let's intubate

and take him to OR now.

100 milligrams of

succinylcholine.

Tell Schiabarassi we're bringing

him in for anaesthesia now.

We need you to clear

out, if you don't mind.

Get that catheter in him now.

Let's prepare for intubation.

Patient 7.5 ET tube,

the MAC 3 blade.

Hang in there.

Tube.

I see the cords.

Connect the ambu bag.

What's going on?

Sometimes when a patient

has a spinal injury,

too much stimulus can

over-run the nervous system.

ROBERTS:
Squeeze out

bilateral chest inflation.

We're clear.

ROBERTS:
All right.

Let's get him to OR.

So let's work on

some upper balance.

Look straight ahead.

Try to keep your chest up tall.

I'll move your legs for you.

Straight ahead, up tall.

How's it going, Batiste?

Nothing's working right today.

Aw, come on.

We gotta show these physical

terrorists what we're made of.

I can't.

Enough of this.

We've got goals.

We gotta walk under

our own steam.

Don't puss out.

Get real.

I'll be better next time.

[groaning]

Wake up!

Stop it!

[panting]

Yeah, I'm sorry.

I was making noise again?

Yeah, again.

Just try to go

back to sleep, OK?

I will if you shut up.

I still can't go out at night.

And I'm always waiting for

something terrible to happen.

How about you, Lauren?

Oh, well, I had

a little victory.

For the first time, you

know, since Henry got shot,

we went to a show, and

we were able to stay

through the whole show.

And then after he kind of

got stuck in the bathroom,

you know, dealing

with his catheter.

And I thought, "oh man, I'm

gonna have a panic attack."

You should try some

anti-anxiety meds.

Ativan.

They helped for me

the first few months.

Let's remember

this is a place just

to listen, not to give advice.

You know, we're all

trying to just figure

out a way to cope with this.

How are things with Mark?

I think about him a lot.

I mean, he hasn't

even wanted to see

me since he got out of rehab.

And then all of a

sudden, he wants

to take me out for a

night out on the town.

I mean, he's all over the place.

[jazz music playing]

SONG:
They call

it stormy Monday,

but Tuesday's just as bad.

They call it stormy Monday,

but Tuesday's just as bad.

Wednesday's worse.

Thursday's also sad.

Lord have mercy.

Lord, have mercy on me.

Lord, have mercy.

I just got a call from school.

You've been skipping out?

You know I've been

working at the market, ma.

School is more

important than that.

Yeah, more Important

than the electric bills?

School doesn't give

a sh*t about me,

so long as I keep my mouth shut.

Miguel, I care

that you graduate.

All right, what

about those ADD pills?

Keep me up.

We're not doing that.

Your brothers asthma pills are

enough drugs for one family.

Come to church with me.

What's that gonna do?

Please?

Look, I made some dinner.

You can have some before you.

God has a plan for you.

I'm not sure about that.

Maybe you're not

listening hard enough.

Maybe I don't

like what I hear.

Hey, be careful with

those jalapenos, huh?

Don't stick your

finger in your eye.

Ah.

Can I get you anything else?

Hi.

Hey.

Shall I remove this chair?

Yes, please.

Sorry.

The assisted cabs take a little

longer than they promise.

Well, I ordered for us, and

I got you an old-fashioned

ye old cup of ice.

I got you a gift.

Took me forever to find it.

I figured, since

you probably saved

my life with the last one,

you should replace it.

It's not quite the same.

It's almost the same.

It's better.

But are you sure?

I mean, with all your expenses

and bills that you should even?

No, no.

It's all... it's all good.

I sold my bike on eBay.

Dessert first?

Why not?

You know, chocolate was used

as currency by the Mayans.

And the flavenols

are said to improve...

Mouth feels.

How's the boys?

Batiste?

He's gonna ride a horse.

Hippotherapy, It's called.

Sounds like he should be writing

a hippo, but it's a horse.

It's supposed to be

very good therapy.

Well, you could do it too.

You OK?

I thought it would be

a good idea to come out.

Now I'm not so sure.

Mark.

Hey.

Que pasa, cabron?

Little talk.

How you doing?

Like the new whip?

Yeah.

Cool, right?

Been a good boy?

Have you been a good boy?

Dude, yeah.

All right.

- Yeah!

- All right.

All right.

Well, maybe one day

I'll let you drive it.

Cool.

Take care, man.

[knocking on door]

Is that you?

Yeah.

- Hello.

- Hi.

Come on in.

You found the place.

Yes.

Any trouble?

No.

This a lot better than

you made it out to be.

Oh yeah, it's a palace.

Put that right there.

Are you hungry,

Not really.

Thirsty?

I'm good.

You look good.

Thank you.

You want a tour?

OK.

After you.

You're now in the kitchen.

Yes, I see it.

Approaching the bedroom.

Ah, Bedman is here.

I'm glad he's still around.

Always.

I... I brought

you Eagle Pacino.

Ah!

I know you gave him to me,

but you seemed to love him.

- I did give him to you.

- Most.

I do love him

the most, though.

I remember when we got that.

We were in Monument

That's right.

And it was really, really hot.

Too hot.

Um, and this guy?

Thank you.

It's a match set, yes.

Where do you want it?

How about

on top of the book case?

You want me to

hang this one up?

Hm.

Are you offering?

Well, if you're offering,

I'm gonna accept.

But I should warn you

that, as you can see,

there's a ton of

sh*t to hang up,

so I'm gonna put you to work.

There's a hammer and

nails in the desk.

OK.

MARK:
You don't

have to do it now.

Well, no.

I can do it.

Not... not that.

The other side, other drawer.

Is that a gun?

Yeah.

You're not planning on

doing anything stupid?

No, I mean, you

see where I live?

It's home protection.

Yeah, well, even

the best shot is

not gonna stop a random bullet.

Well, most bullets

aren't random.

And this is just for safety.

And if you don't

mind me saying so,

you should think

about getting one too.

Not a chance!

Come on.

Mark, guns in the house?

That causes accidents

and suicides.

OK, OK, I don't need...

I don't want a lecture, OK?

This didn't happen to you, so...

No, it didn't.

It didn't.

But I'm still affected.

Do you get that?

Everyone is affected.

Everyone pays.
