Identical Love (2021) Movie Script
1
I hate these things.
Need a hand?
No.
The McCormicks told
Mom and Dad they're
gonna bring a huge gift.
The grill?
I doubt it.
It's probably
something that Charlotte
put on the registry anyway.
What's with you today?
Nothing.
You want me to call Dad over?
No.
We have a little time still.
I know.
Still got time.
You want me to get you a drink?
Yeah, sure.
All right.
Are you feeling okay, Elijah?
Yeah, always.
I'll, uh.
I'll be right back.
Hey, Dad.
Elijah seems tense.
Yeah, I noticed.
Are you sure you don't know
what's going on with him?
Just because we're
twins doesn't mean
I can read his mind.
You look beautiful,
Charlotte, but listen,
I don't think I can
go through with this.
And I know you
feel the same way.
What?
We don't really love each other.
But Elijah, I do love you.
That's why I said yes.
You don't have to say that.
I mean it.
Where is this coming from?
How long have you
felt like this?
A while.
Then I kept pushing
back what I was feeling.
I mean, there's so much I want
to do and focus on my career.
I'm on the rise,
and could be a senior
manager soon and.
I got to thinking,
I'm not ready, and I
didn't want to hurt you.
Do you need more time?
I don't think I do.
Well, what changed?
Is there someone else?
Did I do something?
No, no, no, nothing like that.
No, it's just.
I don't want to make a mistake
we'll both have to live with.
You understand, don't you?
Thank you.
Hey, Abigail.
Still on for lunch?
I'm ready when you are.
Oh.
Any changes in bed five?
Some pain complaints.
He's asking for a higher dosage.
Take your time, no rush.
Thanks.
Hey Mark, I hear the
pain isn't letting up.
Yeah.
Well, where do you think
you're at on the pain scale?
Probably about a six.
I'm sorry.
Well, I want to take a look
at your blood work, okay?
Now is the pain
staying in the same area?
Yeah.
Okay, that's a Berry Blast
smoothie and a Protein Mango.
9.82.
- Oh.
- Got it.
There you go.
Still carrying this around?
Yeah, I haven't quite
figured out what to do with it.
- Sell it?
- Here's that.
Thank you.
Your order will be right out.
I've been going
over personnel files.
Ooh, that's exciting.
Did you know 20% of doctors
haven't taken their vacation
time in nearly two years?
Guess who that includes?
I'll get to it.
You realize it's paid time off?
Go somewhere exotic and relax.
Uh, but I had a
nice trip planned
and you know what happened.
So, the honeymoon
didn't pan out.
You could still enjoy a break.
My patients need me.
It's not like you've formed
lifelong friendships with them.
You have a revolving door
of people who need care
for a while and
then they move on.
And it never ends
so why should I?
So you don't burn out.
I'm not burned out.
You never took time to deal
with the wedding and Elijah.
I don't need to.
There you go.
- Thank you.
- Thanks.
So, who were the other doctors
who haven't taken a vacation?
Oh, the other workaholics?
You can probably guess.
Dr. Cranston.
For sure.
Charlotte.
Elijah.
How are you?
I'm fine.
You?
Good.
Yeah, we're just gonna
grab a bite to eat.
You want to join us?
I'm good.
My parents keep
asking about you.
I'm sure they'd love it
if you stopped by again.
Thanks.
I'll try to keep in touch.
With them.
Good.
It was good to see you.
You take care, all right?
- Wow.
- Yeah.
- Are you?
- I'm fine.
Have you seen him much since?
Yeah, I run into him
every now and then.
Too often.
Things will calm down though.
Yeah, but not in time.
It's just not gonna work out.
Can you back out of it?
It's volunteer.
I mean, it's my
time on the line.
Everything all right?
James is gonna cancel
the medical mission
he's supposed to go on.
Come on?
Don't make me sound
like a villain.
Why the change?
My dad took a bad turn.
His heart again?
Yeah, I can't be
on the other side
of the world if things go south.
You're gonna leave
that medical foundation
in such a lurch.
It's not like I'm
vacationing instead.
What foundation is it?
They're out of the Philippines.
Small outfit.
I think they started
a year or two ago.
But I had a friend who went
and it sounds pretty cool.
Too bad you can't go.
I will try to go another time.
Have you told 'em yet?
Nope, but I will.
Don't cancel.
Okay, why not?
I am using my vacation time.
Oh, good.
When, are you
going anywhere fun?
Well, I am taking
Dr. Lewis's place
with the Ariana Sallow
Medical Foundation,
and I leave in a week.
Okay.
Why?
You were the one telling
me to go somewhere.
Well, I'm not complaining.
I have to try to
cover your shift.
Not really.
Dr. Lewis can take my
schedule since he's not going.
Okay, are you sure
you want to do this?
It's four weeks.
I was thinking you
should relax, not work.
I know, but treating
people halfway
around the world sounds good.
Much better than
dwelling on the past.
When you put it that way.
Bring me a souvenir.
Of course.
Is this the right place?
Ariana Sallow
Medical Foundation?
Yep.
You found us.
Welcome, I'm Henry.
Hi, Charlotte Hudson.
Thank you so much for coming.
Thank you for having me.
Sorry, I was expecting
the address to take me
to some medical
clinic or something.
No, no, not here.
Yeah, the foundation's
still pretty young
and a little smaller than
others you may be familiar with.
But we still make an impact.
I'm sure.
Listen, I hope you don't mind,
but I do have the
visiting doctors
stay with me in my home here.
It makes it easier
leaving for clinics
on those early mornings,
hope that's okay.
Sounds great.
Perfect.
Well, let me grab your stuff
and I'll show you around.
Thank you.
Wow, this place is incredible.
I know, thank you.
Yeah, my wife, Ariana
and I lived here.
This was her family home.
And when she passed
away, I just.
I didn't want to let
go of the memories.
I'm sorry.
So the foundation is
named after her then?
Yeah, my inspiration.
A lot of the people around here
don't have access to doctors.
Sometimes it's the distance,
especially those out on some
of those less-populated islands.
Or they simply don't know when
to get help until it's critical.
You'll see.
We'll go around to
different villages.
We'll set up a makeshift
clinic for a day or two
and then onto the next one.
Sounds busy.
Yeah.
Well, it's a lot
of constant work,
and that's just
bringing doctors out
for a month every quarter.
I retired from my career
to focus solely on this,
but honestly, I don't
know that it's enough.
Well, I'm sure
it's a great start.
So, how many doctors
are here right now?
Three.
Yourself, an ophthalmologist
and a dentist.
In fact, I think one of
them's recently arrived
from your neck of the woods.
Over here.
This is Dr. Solis,
our ophthalmologist.
Oh, hi ya.
Charlotte Hudson.
Maya, lovely to meet you.
You too.
Elijah?
What are you doing here?
No, no, this is our
volunteer dentist.
Dr. Seth Adkins.
Seth.
Hi, Charlotte.
You two know each other?
Yeah.
I didn't expect to see you here.
Me neither.
I mean, you being here.
Well, good to see you.
Okay, well, your room
is just up this way.
I can take ya.
Long story.
Yeah, I bet.
All the more reason why you
need to tell me immediately.
Uh.
Charlotte's a friend, kind of.
Ex-girlfriend?
No.
What, a sister of some evil
dentist, you know back home?
She's my twin
brother's former fiancee.
Oh.
Yeah.
I hope this will be acceptable.
It's wonderful, thank you.
Okay, so you've got all day
tomorrow to get rested up,
get settled in and then
we'll go visit a clinic
not far from here
day after that.
Sounds good.
Alrighty.
Oh, and be sure to enjoy the
island while you're here.
Get out, see some sights,
relax a little when you can,
you know.
Thanks, but I'm here
to work, not vacation.
Well, everyone
comes for a reason.
Though often for different
reasons than they think.
Hey!
I'm going to go grab some lunch.
No, no, no, I got
food for everyone.
Come, eat.
- You sure?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Thanks.
Can you believe this view?
No.
Still hasn't worn off.
How long have you been here?
Three days.
I came a little bit earlier,
wanted to get my bearings.
And then Dr. Adkins
came in the day after,
and now you're here.
So, where are you from?
Auckland.
London originally,
but, how 'bout you?
Georgia.
Is this your first
medical mission?
No, I've done one in Latin
America and one in Africa,
which was amazing.
You done one before?
This is my first one.
You're a newbie.
You will love it.
It's probably different from
anything that you're used to,
but it's a challenge,
in a good way.
If that makes sense.
Good, I could use
a good challenge.
Seth said you guys
know each other.
Ah, what did he say?
Only that you were his
brother's ex-fiancee.
Only, huh?
Yeah.
Elijah broke things
off on our wedding day.
No.
Was it another woman?
That's what I thought at first,
but apparently that wasn't it.
I guess he just didn't
love me anymore.
Oh, come on, he had to
have said more than that.
Nope, not really.
I'm sorry, that is.
That's awful.
Yeah, that's why I came
here, to get away from him.
All of it.
But it's hard to
do that when I keep
seeing him everywhere I turn.
Speaking of.
Hey guys.
Come and eat, we've
got loads of food.
Thanks.
So I hear we might be
going up North tomorrow.
Any idea what it's like?
No, I mean, I did a
little exploring round here
but that was about it.
Mosquitoes are out already.
Think I'll eat inside.
Oh, all right.
See ya.
I'm so sorry.
I just wasn't prepared for this.
It'll be all right.
I mean, at least he
seems like a nice guy.
Good morning.
Well, good morning.
You two sleep okay?
Great, thanks.
Sorry to keep you all waiting.
Not a problem.
Shall we go?
Well, this is where you'll
be working out of today.
You'll each have an area.
I know it's a
little bit run down,
but it does provide a little bit
of privacy for your patients.
Isaiah here will be
doing triage for you.
And he'll be with us actually
at most of the clinics.
If you need something
translated, give him a holler.
For supplies, we pretty
much have everything you
need here in the room.
But if you find you
need something else,
just let us know and
we'll do our best.
Sounds good.
Well, nothing like a
new adventure, right?
Let's hop to it.
You doing all right?
Yeah, is this the exam table?
Yeah, that's it.
Don't worry, it'll
work well enough.
Thank you.
You ready?
Yeah.
Alrighty, I'll grab
your first patient.
Hi, please sit.
I'm Dr. Hudson.
Can you tell me what happened?
Oh, right.
Can you tell me what happened?
Sorry, I don't know
why I'm yelling.
You need a translator?
Yes.
Isaiah, Dr. Hudson
could use your help.
- Hi.
- Yes, doctor.
I'm just trying to figure
out what exactly happened.
When he arrived,
he told me he slipped
on a pier when he was fishing.
Oh, that sounds painful.
Well, let's take a
look at it, all right?
Yeah, real slow.
There we go.
Oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh.
Okay, I just need to look
at mommy's eyes really,
really, really quick.
Just a minute, just a minute.
Perfect.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Hey.
Hey, why don't you come with me?
I have something I want
to show you really quick.
You're gonna love this.
Hurry, come over here.
Okay.
Let's try again, will
you look at this ear.
Much better, thank you.
That right there,
and another one.
Now you have, yeah.
You blow it.
Well that should do it.
You'll be sore today,
but you'll start
to feel better tomorrow.
Be sure to rinse
gently with salt water.
Thank you.
Do you have any questions?
No.
Now just make sure you're
taking some prenatal vitamins
and getting the proper
nutrition for you and the baby.
This should help
you get started.
Just take one every
day with food.
- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.
Well, that's your
last patient for the day.
How'd it go?
Good, but it was
definitely an adjustment.
Yeah, it always is.
Some things are
pretty basic but.
Well, basic as long
as you have what you
need to take care of them.
Well, and if I can
communicate with them.
Yeah, it's pretty tricky.
And there's so many dialects.
I just barely get by
with limited topics.
And that's after living
here for several years.
Well, thank
goodness Isaiah was nearby.
They're nice people.
Yeah.
I just wish there
was more I could do.
How about dinner out tonight?
Oh, that sounds so good.
Henry, you'll join
us, won't you?
Oh, thank you, but uh.
Oh, come and join us.
It's just that I've
got a lot to arrange.
Tomorrow we're
going to a village
on one of the more
remote islands,
and I want to make sure
the charter boat is set.
They haven't had anyone come
since I was last there
three months ago.
Okay.
What about you Charlotte?
Come on, we'll swap
med school stories.
It will be fun.
Sure, yeah.
Just give me a minute to change.
Yeah.
Charlotte, what
time is it there?
Oh my goodness,
I totally forgot.
You're lucky I was on
the night shift tonight.
Sorry.
Is everything okay?
No, not really.
I mean, it's fine, except I
think maybe this was a mistake.
How bad are the
conditions out there?
It's not that.
I mean, sure, it'd help
if I spoke the language,
but it's a foreign country.
I expected that.
Then what?
Elijah's brother
Seth is out here too.
Seth.
And now you can't
not see Elijah.
Exactly.
Well, is he being a jerk
or making things difficult?
No, I mean, he's nice and all,
but now I can't go anywhere
without seeing Elijah.
Would it look bad for the
hospital if I came home early?
No, but do you really
want to throw in the towel?
No, it's just.
You've barely been there.
You're probably
still jet lagged,
and I'm guessing things
won't seem so bad
once you get some rest.
Yeah.
You're probably right.
Not a bad first day right?
Yeah, it was fine.
That was one of the
nicer clinics I've been to.
When I was in Africa,
that was pretty rough.
It was mostly tents.
Oh.
I'll get you a new one.
No, it's fine.
That's not a problem.
Really, I.
I'll be right back.
I'm sorry, I've got to ask.
How well did you know Seth,
before, when he was your
future brother-in-law?
I'm still trying to wrap my
head around that one.
I mean, I saw him at family
dinners, a few holidays
and things when Elijah and
I were dating and engaged.
Yeah, but like what
was the relationship?
Were you friends,
did you get along?
With Seth?
Oh.
I mean, I guess.
A little.
Last Christmas, I was supposed
to bring the dessert to
the family get together.
Supposed to?
I had just gotten
off a double shift.
I was hurting as
it was and forgot.
Elijah's mom wanted everything
perfect for Christmas.
And was a little
stressed, I think.
But Seth quickly spoke up
that the dessert I chose
was best served fresh,
and that I had called to see
if I could make it there.
He covered for you.
He helped me make it too.
It was nice of him.
Not just helping make it,
but saving me from
the embarrassment.
So what did you guys make?
Some fruit crisp.
Apple cranberry, I believe.
Yeah.
And fortunately your
mother didn't notice
we used up the last
of her cranberries.
Here.
Thanks.
So Seth, where did
you go to dental school?
I went to Augusta.
Is there anything
fun you guys want
to do while we're out here?
I imagine the snorkeling
would be amazing.
Oh yeah.
We should ask Henry.
See if there's
anywhere he recommends.
I also read about whales and
dolphins that swim through.
It would be pretty
awesome to see them.
Oh, can you imagine?
What about you, Charlotte?
Anything on your must-do list?
No, I don't know.
You didn't look up the
things the minute you
decided to come out here?
No, not really.
I was more focused on
leaving than coming here.
Ah, there you all are.
Hi.
Just wanted to let you know
we'll be leaving in
the morning about 7:45.
We will be ready.
And thanks again for
another good day, really.
Wait, come, relax
for a little bit.
Oh.
Yeah, sorry, habit.
Whenever I have doctors here,
I try to make the most of it
and not miss out on
any of the clinics.
So, how often are you
having doctors come out now?
Every three months, yeah.
Like to get to a point
where we have them come
out every month, but
take a lot of volunteers
to get and arrange.
A lot of donated
supplies to hope for.
You know, when I worked for
that Latin American foundation
I found them on this medical
charity listing site.
There's these
organizations out there
and they'll compile all
of the medical charities.
And they'll list
everything that they do.
How the average person
or a corporation
can donate or help.
How doctors can get involved,
all sorts of things.
Hm, really.
I mean, it's up to
you, but if you wanted,
we could try and get
your foundation listed
with one of those sites.
I could show you how.
That'd be great.
Really, anything we could
do to expand our reach here.
Thank you, Maya.
Of course.
Hey, Henry.
Hey.
Does Henry ever rest?
I doubt it.
It's sweet though 'cause
you can tell he really
cares about everyone here.
I think he still
really misses his wife.
Maybe that's why
he's so dedicated.
Do you know anything about her?
Just that she was from
here in the Philippines,
and that they met while
he was out here for work.
What type of work?
The biography on his
foundation website said
that he ran or they owned
some kind of a tech company.
Oh, I assumed he had some type
of background in medical work.
Can you imagine going
from that to doing this,
all in her name?
Losing a loved one
can be devastating.
I guess so.
But at some point you've
got to move on, right?
Live again.
Can I join you?
Um.
I guess.
It's hard to
believe we're here, isn't it?
Yeah.
No, I mean in a
place so beautiful.
Not that it's you and
me of all people here.
Oh, I thought you
meant the second one.
I'm not surprised.
Sorry.
So, what made you
decide to come here?
Well.
My practice is doing great,
and I recently brought on
another dentist to help.
So, I can actually leave
every now and again.
That's good.
Yeah.
Yeah, I used to worry that my
patients would have no one to
go to if I wasn't around
and now that's not an issue.
But why here?
I'd get letters from
different foundations,
asking me to come help.
At first, I'd just
toss them in the trash.
Too busy, not my problem.
That sort of reaction, you know.
But with the other
dentist around,
I'm finding myself in the
office only three days a week.
Nice.
Yeah.
Yeah, I started to
feel a little guilty.
The timing, everything,
lined up well.
I got a letter from Henry's
foundation a couple months ago,
along with a couple of
others I had started saving.
And you chose here?
Yeah.
Something about this place.
It felt like this is
where I was needed.
Was it the same for you?
No.
I, uh.
I actually need to
finish getting ready.
Anything else to pack up?
Oh, that should do it.
How are we looking on time?
We're good if we leave
in the next few minutes.
So, how you holding up so far?
Good.
Yeah, yeah, It's nice here.
Different pace.
Yeah.
Yeah, the more remote we get,
the slower it gets,
in a good way.
Do you ever miss the big city?
You know, the faster
track lifestyle?
No, I used to think
I did, but not anymore.
So.
How are things between
you and Dr. Hudson?
They could be better.
I don't know the details,
but is there anything I can do?
I keep asking what I can
do, but it's a bit tricky.
It won't affect our work though.
Oh no, no, I'm not
worried about that.
So, what makes it tricky?
More that it's
out of my control.
I have a twin brother.
He's older by four
and a half minutes,
and despite the stereotype
of older and wiser, he's.
Not?
There's been more
than a few occasions
where I'm left to
clean up after him.
Wow, that's tough.
Yeah.
But you don't have to
clean up after his missteps?
Yeah.
I'm telling myself
that a lot lately.
Habit over the years.
It's just, it's not
easy to ignore those
he leaves in his wake.
Where's Isaiah, is he coming?
No, he went over yesterday
to get things set up.
Alrighty.
We should probably get going.
Here, take these.
Thanks.
Everybody see it?
Take a look in this area.
Oh, it's dolphins!
Where?
They're beautiful.
How does anybody
leave this place?
So do you always see
dolphins like that out here?
Yeah, pretty much every trip.
Is it the same pod?
Oh gosh, I don't know.
I'd like to think so, but
I'm not about to name them.
Oh, I named 'em.
Ocean, Oceana, Little
Blue and Captain Henry.
Just over here.
This is, uh.
Small?
Yeah.
You'll love it.
- Henry!
- Hey!
Welcome.
Good to see you, Tobias.
Let me introduce
you to my team here.
This is Dr. Hudson, Dr.
Solis, and Dr. Adkins.
Thank you for coming.
Come, come.
Henry.
Tobias is eager for
you to meet his sister.
Oh no.
Lucky for you she's visiting
family on another island.
Don't be surprised if he asks
you to come back for her.
Listen, how do you say
no matchmaking in Tagalog?
You hungry?
Yeah.
We should probably eat now.
Isaiah said some more families
will be coming by soon.
Thanks.
Is it safe?
Uh, Henry's eating it so.
Can you imagine living this
far away from everything?
No doctor, no store, no...
Movie theater?
No, I can't.
They seem happy though.
Maybe there's something to that.
Yeah, could be.
Still.
Not for you, huh?
At least it's eye opening.
So, why did you come out here?
I mean, don't take
this the wrong way,
but it doesn't really
seem like it's your thing.
Are you saying I'm too
self-centered to volunteer?
See I told you
not to take it the wrong way.
No, what I mean is you
seem very committed
to the hospital back home.
Very focused.
I was.
Then why?
Do you really expect
me to say it out loud?
No.
I was hoping it wasn't
the reason I thought.
Well, sorry to disappoint.
My reasons for being here
aren't as selfless as yours.
I'm not him.
I know you know that,
but you're still
taking what Elijah
did out on me.
I'm not.
I'm trying not to.
It's hard when you.
Yeah.
Look, I know Elijah hurt you.
Believe me, my parents
and I were upset
with him breaking things
off the way he did.
But, can't we move past that?
It's awkward.
So, it's awkward.
We both know it, now
let's leave that behind.
You really think it's that easy?
I'm hoping it can be.
Regardless of my brother,
can't we be friends?
Yeah, I guess.
Yeah.
Oh, oh!
Still think it's safe?
Seth.
What?
Whales!
Slow it down.
Let me guess, you see
these all the time too?
Yeah.
Really?
Well, you've never
really experienced whales
until you've seen
things from their level.
Anybody up for a swim?
Seriously, can we?
Did you see that?
That was amazing.
Looks like you got your wish.
Even better.
These photos are brilliant,
if I do say so myself.
Aw, send me some.
I will, I will.
Oh, Henry, I sent you
a foundation's website
to some of those
organizations I mentioned.
Really, already, thank you.
It will massively
increase exposure
and hopefully attract
some more doctors for you.
And funding.
Actually, I can
handle the costs okay.
It's the medical supplies
that are a bit of an issue.
I could talk to the
hospital I work at.
They donate excess supplies
to other causes all the time.
Why not yours?
That'd be great.
You think I'd have all
this figured out by now.
It's not like it's easy.
I just hope I
can keep up with it all.
Anyway, tomorrow we
have nothing planned.
So, please just enjoy your day.
Henry, thank you for today.
It was incredible.
Well, I'm glad you liked it.
Hey Abigail,
you're at work early.
I thought I'd check on
you before my day got busy.
How are you?
I'm good.
You're still there
so I'm assuming
things are better.
Yeah.
Yeah, they are.
The people are really nice
and I can see the need here.
Any tricky cases so far?
Nothing I couldn't
handle but that's good.
There are only so many
resources and supplies.
Speaking of, the foundation
could really use some more.
Any chance you can
arrange something?
Yeah, I think so.
I'll see what I can set up.
Really?
Oh, that's great, thank you.
So, how are things with Seth?
Still awkward.
Although he's, he's nice.
So what, you're friends now?
Oh, not quite, but
maybe getting there.
- Morning.
- Morning.
You headed out somewhere?
The market.
I think we passed it yesterday
on the way to the marina.
Can I come, I
need some groceries.
Is that all right?
Sure.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
These look good.
I was hoping
to find some cereal here.
It's not that kind of market.
Here, try mango.
It's healthier.
Oh, wow, are those pearls?
Pretty color.
You should get it.
Oh, I don't need it.
Jewelry is not about need.
Do you want a bracelet?
Well, all I'm
saying is live a little.
Here.
Oh no, no, no, it's fine.
- Thanks.
- Mm-hmm.
You know, I could
have bought that myself.
But you wouldn't have, enjoy.
Thank you.
So, what's Elijah
up to these days?
Last I heard he was
trying to move up at work.
Yeah, the thrilling field
of investment advising.
I'd love to say he got fired,
but he's just been
doing his thing,
living the dream, whatever.
Why would you want
him to be fired?
Karma.
Just kidding, kind of.
So, is he seeing anyone?
No one consistently.
Oh good.
I mean, not good, but good.
He's getting out there and
you know, meeting new people.
Yeah.
Have you?
What?
Gone out there
and met new people?
Well, I'm here, aren't I?
I mean dating, not just work.
I've been busy.
It's been over three months.
Yeah, and it's been
a busy three months.
All right.
So, what should we do
for the rest of the day?
I think I may go take a nap.
No, you didn't come all the way
out to the Philippines
just to sleep.
Fine, what do you have in mind?
How about horseback riding?
Oh no, I probably shouldn't.
What?
Henry might need my help.
Nice try but we both know
that guy's got it under control.
Let's get changed,
I'll meet you in 10.
Oh hello, name?
Seth Adkins and Charlotte.
Yes, yes, come, come.
I have horse for you.
Here.
- This one?
- Yeah, up, up.
Okay, up, all right.
No.
Okay.
It's harder than it looks.
You've never
ridden horses before?
Not since I was a teenager.
Come, pull,
pull, use muscles and pull.
Muscles and pull, okay.
Yeah, there you go.
- You are big.
- Here, come, here.
Woo, I.
- You teach him.
- Okay.
Okay, let's go.
So, where does this take us?
I can't remember.
I have no idea.
You don't know?
Well, what are we
supposed to see then?
I can't remember
what the brochure said
but it doesn't matter.
It's about the journey, right?
The experience.
Bonding with nature
and your horse.
Great.
Don't you like horses?
Do you?
Yes, but I love all
animals, always have.
Yeah, you should have been
a veterinarian, not a dentist.
I actually wanted to be a vet.
Really?
Why didn't you?
Ah, it wasn't enough.
What do you mean?
Elijah was going into a
lucrative and successful field.
My parents, well,
they never said it,
but I felt like they expected
something more prestigious
from me than working
with animals.
Surprised you let
that dissuade you.
Elijah would tease
me about the idea.
So, I began to think I
should do something else.
Eh, you could always
have a second career,
a midlife crisis or something.
Ditch your dental practice and
learn how to treat animals.
I could, but being
a dentist isn't bad.
Besides, I'd rather interact
with animals in this way.
I have gotten a
bunch of inquiries
about my foundation already.
Really?
Whatever you did is working.
Good.
Is it mostly donations,
volunteers, bit of both?
No, it's mainly volunteers.
Everybody seems to have a
different availability though.
It's kind of making me dizzy,
keeping it all straight.
The foundations I worked
for before had entire teams
doing what you're trying
to do all by yourself.
I have Isaiah.
Yes you do.
And Isaiah is great.
I just, I don't think
that's going to be enough.
Well, it'll have to do for now.
I just, I can't focus on
bringing on someone new.
I still have to make sure
I can keep things going
as they are, while adding
more doctor rotations.
All right, listen.
Will you just promise me one
thing, that as this gets busier
and the foundation
continues to grow,
take a minute every now
and again and just relax.
Breathe.
I promise.
I do try to fly back to
the US every Christmas
to be with my family.
You do?
Yeah.
My mom lives with my
sister and her family.
I have a brother who's
on marriage number four.
Oh.
- And then there's my son.
- Oh.
Yeah, he's in college
back in Virginia.
So when you go back, how
long did you get to stay for?
Two or three weeks,
then right back here.
I bet they miss you when you go.
It's always good
to see the family
and spend a bit
of time together.
But I love coming back here.
So, this is home for you.
Yes.
Yeah.
What about you?
You're from New Zealand, yeah?
Yep, and London before that.
So which is home and
which is the place you live?
Um.
Well, I've lived in
Auckland for 15 years now.
And it's the place
I live, I think.
But to be honest, I felt
the same way about London.
So I don't know.
You have kids?
No, I was married once
before, when I was younger.
I was too young, turns out.
I'm sorry.
I feel like I've got a
sense of freedom now though.
Like I can go to new places
and see new cultures and
make new relationships.
That's good, yeah.
Fantastic.
Pineapple is big business.
Lots of use for
fruiters and plant.
Stop here, you
can take pictures.
Your horses rest for a minute.
Should we?
Yeah, might as well.
So did you ever want to be
something other than a doctor?
No, only in the
first couple of years
when I was exhausted.
Still like it then?
Yeah, why wouldn't I?
I'm just thinking
about that story you
told Maya the other day,
what happened last Christmas.
Thought maybe it was
becoming too much.
No, I just, I didn't want to
disappoint your mom or Elijah.
Did I ever thank you for
helping me out of that?
Yes, yes, you did.
Good.
They miss you, you know?
Yeah?
Yeah.
I get the sense
that if they could
pick a daughter-in-law,
it would it be you.
What about you?
Any future
daughter-in-law prospects
you'll be bringing home to them?
Nope, and thanks for
reminding me of a topic
my father likes to bring
up whenever I see him.
Your dad?
I'd assume it'd be your
mom bringing it up.
Nah, nah.
She's still hemming and hawing
over Elijah's life choices.
Oh, there's your karma.
Now, at least it spares me
from her fixating
on my love life.
So can I ask why no one
special has caught your eye?
I guess that's just it.
No one special
has caught my eye.
I don't know.
Maybe I'm too caught
up with everyday life.
Get up, go to work.
See patients, cavities,
root canals, come home,
catch a game with some friends
and do it all over again.
Through it all, no
one's really stood out.
So, what are you looking for?
I don't know.
Oh, come on.
Blonde, brunette, auburn,
athletic, tall, petite, bookish?
I'm not sure any of
that really matters.
I'm just looking for that.
That moment.
Beyond the carefree
decision of sure,
let's grab a coffee sometime.
The spark.
Who knows?
Maybe I'll let you
know when it happens.
Okay, let's go.
Hey, Maya!
Hi, how was horseback riding?
It was fun.
Enlightening.
So you coming in?
This water is amazing.
Thanks, maybe next time.
All right.
I had fun.
Thanks for suggesting it.
Yeah, I'm glad you came.
What's the matter,
you all right?
Just.
My brother was a
fool to let her go.
Do you need some motion
sickness meds again?
Sorry, this place
is a little out there.
Even farther than
the island village?
Well, there are
degrees, I guess.
Kumusta?
All right, these people are
mostly waiting on vaccines.
This is my first time here.
Another village referred
them to the foundation.
Let's get started then.
Yeah.
There you go.
Okay, you're all set, thanks.
Next.
Hey, Henry!
- Yeah.
- Come here.
Hang on.
Yeah, what can I do for you?
Put those on.
Okay.
They can be a little
tricky to get on.
Now when you're ready, I'm
going to have you take this.
There you go.
Now here, insert with
the needle like this,
and pull the plunger back
to fill it, 0.5 milliliters,
Okay, like that?
Good, now keep the tip of
the syringe in the liquid
and careful not to draw on
any air if you can help it.
Right, okay, like that?
Uh huh.
- Good?
- Great.
Ready to give it a try?
What?
We've got a line of people here.
Oh yeah, no, they they've
come to see doctors,
not a computer geek.
You'll be fine, come on.
We'll start by
cleaning his skin.
How are you?
- Fine.
- All right, thank you.
Yeah.
I'm just gonna
slightly grab the arm,
a wide pinch, if you will, and.
All set?
There.
Are you feeling okay?
Yeah, I'll be fine.
- Do you need to sit?
- Yep, mm-hmm.
- I'll take that.
- Maybe you oughta.
Yeah.
I didn't think it
would bother you.
Yeah, no it shouldn't.
I am a fully grown man.
But needles have
always made me queasy.
There goes my
career in medicine.
Just take a
deep breath, you'll be fine.
Embarrassing.
Okay, do you see my earring?
Can you just look
right there for me?
Hi-five.
Good job.
Oh!
I mean, I could
see you turning green
from across the room.
You did well, Henry.
Just don't make me watch
anything with needles anymore.
Doing all right there, Seth?
Seeing anything
interesting outside?
Just green blurs.
I feel like if I can
keep my focus out there
it doesn't bother
my stomach as much.
Oh, that's not good.
What is it?
Sounded like something
hit the undercarriage.
Well, whatever it was, the
truck is no longer working.
Sorry, guys.
That's all right.
It was an accident.
Do you have
any service out here?
No.
What, no jungle
cell phone tower?
Afraid not.
I didn't see anybody
on the way out here.
Or on the way in.
Do you know how
far out we are still?
Oh, 40 kilometers.
35 to the nearest village.
And 25 kilometers back to
the village we just were at.
The sun'll be set by then.
I think we're just
gonna have to wait it
out here tonight.
How will anybody find us?
Well, hopefully somebody
will come along the road,
but if not, we are
scheduled to meet up
with Isaiah at a different
part of the island tomorrow.
He'll know something's up.
He'll come for us.
Well, what do we
have to work with then?
Does anybody want
something to eat?
I've got granola bars,
packets of crisps, water.
Water'll be good.
Let's just bring the...
Always be prepared, right?
Yeah.
We could stand to be a little
more prepared than we are.
It's fine.
It's like an adventure, right?
Yeah, you have a healthy
sense of optimism there, Maya.
To be honest, these are
better camping conditions
than I had growing up.
Yeah, you camped a lot?
No, And I'll tell you why.
There was always a bug or
creature in my sleeping bag.
Like what?
Once there was a gecko,
that wasn't so bad.
Another time, a dead mouse.
In your sleeping bag?
A spider, centipede.
Ugh, gross.
Oh, the worst was a snake.
- No.
- Why?
You just have the worst
luck in all the land?
Close.
I had a mischievous brother.
No, he didn't.
In his defense, at least
the snake was a garter.
And harmless.
You ever do any camping, Maya?
No, and apparently I
wasn't missing out on much.
How about you Charlotte?
Yeah.
Fortunately, I don't have
a brother to torment me.
One of my favorite things though
was looking up at
the stars at night.
Oh, well, you might
want to look up.
Don't want to miss these.
Wow.
It's beautiful.
One of the many
things I love here.
Did anyone come?
No, it's early yet.
Oh, uh, Seth got
a little restless.
Went to look for food.
Really?
Like I said, restless.
Morning, what'd I miss?
I'm going to go check on Seth.
Okay.
Be careful, don't get lost.
Honk, if anyone comes.
You got it.
Oh, I hate the jungle.
Hate the jungle.
Seth?
Seth?
What are you doing out here?
Henry said you were
coming to look for food.
Did you find any?
Yeah.
Yeah, I found some
fruit or something.
Why, you hungry?
Just curious.
Well, I didn't know what
it was, so I left it behind.
You didn't even try it?
No, what if it was poisonous?
What?
You're kind of paranoid.
Okay, says the
girl scaring herself
from noises in the jungle.
Okay, I'm not being
critical, it's just.
Elijah would have eaten
the fruit without thought.
Yeah, he would.
Well, it's a good
thing I'm not him then.
Being bold isn't a bad thing.
No, so long as you balance it.
Elijah doesn't.
Wow.
What?
I didn't realize you two didn't
get along as well as I thought.
We get along fine.
It's just, Elijah can
be impulsive, like with.
Nevermind.
Like when he dumped me?
Being impulsive isn't
a bad thing, you know.
Are you defending him now?
No, I'm just saying being
impulsive can be good.
You know, I'm surprised at
how you talk about Elijah.
Nevermind, how you reacted
when you saw me here
and treated me just
because I look like him.
And now you're talking
like what he did is okay.
Trust me, it's not.
Good.
I'm sorry, I shouldn't
have brought it up.
It's just, even I resent
what he did to you.
And I don't know, hearing
you talk about him like that.
I guess, I just think you
should still be upset with him.
I am.
Sort of.
More than anything, I'm.
I don't know why he backed
away and why I didn't see it.
I mean, what did I miss?
Was it really him
and his career?
Was it because he feels
threatened because I'm a doctor?
Did he just not love me?
Sorry, forget I said anything.
No, no.
It was just as much
of a surprise to me.
Charlotte, what's wrong?
What happened?
It's all right.
It doesn't look all right.
What did you do?
What I had to.
I broke things off.
You what?
Why would you do that?
It wasn't right.
Not now, maybe not ever.
Elijah, it's your wedding
day, her wedding day.
I know, bad form
and all that, right?
She'll be fine.
Any improvement?
No.
Didn't think there
would be, just.
Can't help checking?
Yeah, and hoping.
Well, you're kind of a have
to stay busy type, aren't ya?
Yeah, I think I get a little
bit restless if I don't.
Ariana was just like that.
Always fixing something up,
organizing, straightening.
Yeah, maybe it's a woman thing.
Maybe.
Only time I could
ever get her to stop
was when we were traveling.
What happened to her?
She got sick.
Ariana had always wanted to
visit a lot of the islands.
So we decided to do it.
Take a couple of weeks,
just go from place to place.
It was a chance for her
to see her home country
in a new way.
Yeah.
We were on this tiny Island.
I mean, smaller than the one
we were on the other day,
if you can believe it.
Really?
And she started feeling ill.
It just happened so fast.
Still don't know if it was
some bug she'd picked up,
or something she ate,
something she touched.
There was no plane, only way
off the island was a boat.
And she was just in so much
pain, it wasn't an option.
No one could help her.
Maybe I should have
tried the boat,
but I just couldn't stand
the thought of.
By the time I realized
that we had to risk it,
it was too late.
She passed away right
there on that island.
I'm so sorry.
Yeah, me too.
But you found a wonderful
way to keep her memory alive.
I mean, you've turned a tragedy
into something good,
something wonderful.
It's got a long way to go still,
but I think she'd be proud
of what I've done so far.
He came, you were right!
Hey, guys!
Isaiah!
Elijah has a
self-centered streak.
To outsiders he seems driven
and bound for success.
And that often comes at
the expense of others.
I saw it over and over
again growing up with him.
And if there was a problem,
I usually had to clean it up.
I'm not a problem.
No, that's not what I meant.
I only mean, he's moved on,
and not seen the
consequences of what he did.
I wonder if the only
way he'll learn is if he.
Goes through the same
heartbreak he put you through.
I don't know.
All I know is I don't
want anyone to go
through the same heartbreak
if they can avoid it.
It's Henry.
Oh, somebody came.
Yeah.
Alrighty, thanks again, Isaiah.
Next time, take a better car.
Yeah.
Ah, it's good to be
back in civilization.
Yes, running water is my friend.
Oh, since we didn't make
it to today's destination
we've rescheduled
it for tomorrow.
Sounds good to me.
Listen, after we
get back tomorrow
let me take you guys all out
to some nice place for dinner.
Oh, you don't have to do that.
Oh no, no, I want to.
If you're sure.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, yeah.
Seth, Maya?
- Yeah.
- Count me in.
Okay.
See you later?
Yeah.
- Hey!
- Hey.
What's up?
Just wondering,
what do you think
the dress is for dinner tonight?
I haven't even thought about it.
You could ask Henry if
you want to be sure?
No, no, no, that's all right.
What are you wearing and I'll
just pick based off of that.
I have no idea.
Well, what are your options?
What are we working with?
See for yourself.
Here?
Oh, this is lovely,
you should wear this.
I was thinking I'd wear pants.
No, you should dress up tonight.
Why?
Well, Seth might like it.
Why should that matter?
It's not like we're
involved or anything.
Oh, come on.
The way you two get along,
you must've at
least considered it.
No.
Oh, that would be so awkward.
I, everyone would think we
had some forbidden romance
before, when I was with Elijah.
Did you?
No!
I'm just saying, there'd
be looks and rumors
and the odd family gatherings
when Elijah would be there too.
Oh yeah, you've not given
this any thought at all,
have you?
I'm just thinking out loud.
Well, throw Elijah
out of the situation.
It's just you and Seth.
No awkward history,
nobody else's opinion.
Would you go out with him?
Sure, why not?
No, I don't just
mean a simple date.
Could you see him being your
boyfriend or maybe more?
But if I could,
isn't that strange?
No, why would it be?
Because I was engaged
to his twin brother.
Okay.
Maybe on the surface, but I
mean, if you have feelings
for him then none of
that should matter.
I always say, learn the
lesson, forget the rest.
No regrets.
Well, what about you and Henry?
I can tell you admire him.
No.
Is it obvious?
Only if you know what to
look for, but don't worry.
I think he's clueless.
Yeah, he's pretty clueless, huh?
Yeah.
I just, I don't
want it to be awkward.
I mean, I know it's
been several years,
but I feel like he's still
mourning his wife on some level.
I think he always
will, that's normal.
Yeah, I just, I don't, I
don't want to be insensitive.
I feel like I'm stomping
on her memory or something.
No, I don't think
you're doing that at all.
Just give him time.
I don't think he's
really thought
of moving forward
with his heart.
Yeah.
Right, so for dinner are
we talking fancy ballroom,
or boring doctor soulless?
Ah, how dressed up
are we really talking?
I have an idea, I shall return.
You just, you wait right there.
Okay.
Wait, is the
restaurant that far or?
This is the restaurant.
What?
I thought a sunset dinner
cruise might be a nice change.
- Oh, I love it.
- Yeah, please.
That is a nice
dress on you, Maya.
Oh, thank you.
Something I should know there.
You can probably guess.
- Here.
- Oh, thanks.
So how soon until you have
the next doctors coming out?
Two months.
And then I have another
group coming in three months,
thanks to you.
Really?
Yeah, I just hope I
can get it all arranged.
Well, good news.
The administrator at my hospital
is already working
on donating supplies.
Thank you.
You know, we could get more.
Didn't you use to work
in the tech industry?
Yeah.
That's a great idea, Maya.
Yeah, they have deep pockets
and like to donate
to good causes.
They do.
I mean, is there anybody
you're still in contact with,
someone you'd feel
comfortable reaching out to?
Yeah, I already have a little.
I'm just not
terribly bold when it
comes to things like that.
Well, I mean, if it's
something that you want,
you've got to ask for it.
Mm-hmm.
Here, let me grab your.
Oh yeah, I can help.
- Thank you.
- Oh, I'll help.
Come on.
What?
Let's check out the
view from the bow.
Isn't it rockier up there?
I took something
for motion sickness
the second I saw the boat.
Ah.
Whoa!
You okay?
I'm not great on my feet
on land, much less out here.
You should see me dance.
Oh, I can imagine.
Elijah, let's just say
he didn't like dancing.
Ah, so it's true then?
You made Elijah
take dance lessons.
He told you.
You thought the
traditional first dance
as a couple wouldn't wow anyone.
Um, I did not say that.
Hey, I'm just repeating
how Elijah put it.
He did hate it, and that's fine.
I just, I wanted
everything to be perfect.
Not that it ended up
mattering anyway.
Well, the cake was really good.
Was it?
I didn't even get to try it.
Well, my mom chastised
me for taking a slice,
saying it was bad luck.
But I figured that ship
had already sailed.
Wow, I am glad the event
wasn't a total loss then.
I had leftovers for weeks.
Oh, but hors d'oeuvres
don't keep well.
Yeah, the caterer tried
to get me to take some home
as if that would
make me feel better.
Did it?
Yeah.
Kidding, I threw the
food away as soon
as I walked in the door.
- Oh.
- I'll get that, thank you.
Thanks so much.
Hey, if you wanted my
help with the foundation
I'd be willing to stay and help.
That's nice.
I couldn't ask you to do that.
Why not?
It's too much.
You're already
sacrificing a lot.
No, it's not a
sacrifice, I like it here.
Well, what about your
practice back in Auckland?
I could figure something
out, make arrangements.
Just, it feels good here.
Thank you.
But I'm not really sure
what I'm going to do yet.
Yeah.
It's just an option,
something to think about.
Yeah, okay.
Thank you.
- Yeah.
In spite of it all, was
there any good that came of it?
I guess being here.
Using my profession to help.
I don't know if I would've
have considered it otherwise.
It's been nice here.
Till I showed up.
Even that's not been
as horrible as I feared.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Good.
When we went horseback riding,
I told you that I'd let you know
if I ever felt that
spark for someone.
I remember.
Is that okay?
Mm-hmm.
I'm sorry.
I can't.
Oh, what was I thinking?
Stupid.
I'm stupid.
You okay?
Yeah, oh yeah.
Is Dr. Solis.
Maya.
Is she?
Am I reading that right?
I wondered when
you would notice.
Wow.
Well, I guess I've
really gotten blind
to seeing things like that.
What kind of things?
Emotional type situations.
Matters of the heart?
Thank you, that sounds better.
Well, she is an eye doctor.
Maybe she can help
you see again.
Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know that
it's such a good idea.
Why not?
Conflict of interest.
We're employer, employee.
It's hardly that.
She's a doctor, and a
volunteer, and a good person.
Maybe you could
use a fresh start.
Charlotte.
I'm sorry, I overstepped.
I shouldn't have.
- No, it's not your fault.
I just can't.
I want to think I can look
past everything, but I can't.
I'm not strong
enough, and you're.
It's just too hard.
Maybe I rushed
things between us,
but that doesn't mean
you don't feel something.
I do feel something.
I feel hurt and
angry and confused.
What about hope
and happiness, love?
It doesn't matter.
I don't trust my
heart when I see you.
Do you ever think you'll be able
to look at me and
not see Elijah?
Okay.
Looks good, you're all set.
Let me just get you.
Thank you.
- Thank you.
Yeah.
All right, you're all set.
Hey, Isaiah?
Can I get your help
over here real quick?
Yes.
Thanks.
Would you mind asking
her really quick?
I just wanted to
check something.
Charlotte, perfect timing.
We were just
sitting down to eat.
Oh, what are we having?
Seth grilled up some chicken,
and I got a cassava
cake from the market.
I'm good, but thanks.
You guy go on ahead.
You two all right?
Yeah, yeah.
Dr. Adkins looks at you a lot.
Oh?
Hi, everything all right?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Do you have any big
plans for the weekend?
You've all been busy.
I haven't even thought about it.
You know, no one
would think twice
about taking a
little time to relax.
I know, it's just not
important to me though.
All work, no play.
When you first arrived here,
you thought you'd come just
to, to volunteer, to help.
Yeah, I'd like to think
that I'm that dedicated,
but we both know I
came here to escape.
Did that work?
No, not really.
I'm sorry if I've seemed
distracted or unfocused.
Oh no, no, no.
Everything's been fine there.
No, I just bring
it up because you,
you don't seem happy.
Yeah.
You know, I came
here to find closure.
But instead I feel even more
uncertain about everything.
Yeah, closing the
door on your past
doesn't mean you have to
block out your future.
That sounds wise.
But it's too complicated.
Seth and I,
we couldn't have a future.
Oh.
That's too bad.
Dr. Hudson?
Doctor?
Henry, what's wrong?
I'm so sorry to wake you.
I got a call from Isaiah.
His son, apparently he got hurt.
They are hurrying over to
that clinic to meet us.
Yes, of course.
I'll grab my things.
- Thank you.
Is everything all right?
Sorry, I didn't mean
to disturb either of you.
It's Isaiah's son,
he needs help.
- Oh no.
- I'll get dressed.
Me too.
How serious?
I don't know.
He said his son Datu
fell and he's bleeding.
He said he has a hurt leg.
I could hear him crying.
Do you get many of
these midnight calls?
No, not often.
I have trained myself
to be a light sleeper
so when they come in but.
The worst is when I get a call
and there's no doctors here.
Well, we're going
to change that.
We're getting close.
Thank you.
Let's get everything set up.
I'll get the lights.
Maya, could you get
the ones over there?
On it.
I'll wait for him outside.
Do you want
to help me with this?
Yeah.
I thought I heard them coming.
Is that them?
Okay.
- He's here.
Over here.
Put his head this way.
Can you tell me what happened?
My son, Datu, he sleepwalks.
I heard him crying outside.
He fell on some rocks.
Datu, can you
tell me what hurts?
Leg.
Are you having any
trouble breathing?
So you sleepwalk, huh?
You know, I used to do
that when I was your age.
I need a.
Thank you.
- I can clean it.
It's gonna need a few stitches.
- I got it.
- Okay.
Datu, can you tell me what's
going on with your wrist?
Hurt.
Can you move it
at all, like this?
Ow, ow.
Okay, yeah, that's good.
We'll just let it rest.
Sprain?
I think so, but it's
gonna have to wait.
I have ice packs.
Great.
Isaiah, could Isaiah
stand on his leg at all?
No, too much pain.
Okay.
Thank you.
Henry, could we
get more ice packs?
Yeah, of course.
What is it?
Most likely a broken leg.
Okay, that's not
a huge deal, right?
Well, it depends
on how it broke.
I don't have an x-ray here.
I mean, it could be a
simple greenstick fracture,
but if it's not, I
can't tell how bad it is
or if what I'm doing is enough.
Don't we just
splint and cast it?
Yeah, well, is it
properly aligned?
It's swollen, so visually
I just can't be sure.
I'm just, I'm guessing.
Henry, is there an x-ray
machine anywhere on the island?
No, not that I know of.
Okay, so you don't have
what you normally need
in this situation, but Datu
has you and you have us.
Okay.
What do you need us to do?
Finish cleaning and
stitching the head wound.
Maya, could you
bandage his wrist?
Yes.
Henry, can I get a splint?
Yep, I've got one.
Doctor.
Everything's gonna
be all right, Isaiah.
Datu, I think you
broke your leg.
I'm gonna touch it, okay?
I know.
- You're okay.
I know.
Is this where it hurts the most?
Is it numb?
Tingling?
Tingling, does he
know that word?
Okay, that's good.
Can you feel my fingers
on your ankle here?
That's good.
We're gonna make sure
you're feeling better.
I'm gonna start by
splinting your leg, okay?
Thank you.
Okay, nice and easy.
- Better?
- A little.
You did well on those stitches.
Yeah, they're not so bad.
Try doing that in
someone's mouth.
Datu will be sore,
but keep his leg
elevated for a couple of days.
We can cast it once
the swelling goes down,
but I'd like to take a look
at it on an x-ray first
to be sure.
We can get a charter to a
larger island with a hospital.
I can arrange that.
- Thank you, Henry.
- Yeah.
Thank you, Dr. Hudson.
Thank you, everyone.
Thank you.
I am just so glad
that you were all here.
Us too.
Do you need any help
setting up the boat charter?
No, no.
No, I can handle
that, you all rest up.
Hopefully there won't be
any more excitement today.
Sounds good.
- See you in a minute?
- Yeah.
You doing all right?
Knowing that Datu
will be okay, yes.
That's the important thing.
Yeah.
Poor boy.
You know, it's just a shame
we didn't have any
diagnostics equipment.
I know.
We could though, you know.
Well, we travel around
from place to place.
But they make portable versions
of most machines nowadays.
I mean, not everything, but
take an x-ray, for example.
What if we had had something
like that there tonight?
Can you imagine the difference
that could have made?
Yeah, I dunno.
It sounds great, but
how do I get all that?
It doesn't have
to be all at once.
We just.
We'll keep taking in donations,
and we'll eventually buy
the machinery that we need.
And then that will help
us to treat the patients
more effectively
and more accurately.
In fact, it is a great way to
help the foundation expand.
What?
I'm sorry.
I just, I didn't expect
you to be so involved.
Why not?
I guess I thought it
was asking too much.
Oh.
You were serious about
wanting to stay here.
Very.
Well, I've been thinking
and I think it would be nice
for you to stay.
Really?
Yeah, I mean, you
know, you were right.
I can't really handle the
foundation anymore by myself,
with the incoming doctors and
the funding and the machines.
Trying to keep the clinics
open on all the islands.
It's, it's.
And it's something
I don't think I even
want to try to keep doing
alone, anymore, really.
Do you want me to stay?
Yes.
But only if you're sure it
won't disrupt your practice
or your life back home.
It's completely up to you.
Okay.
Okay, you're staying
or, or you're thinking?
Yeah, I don't, you know what?
I don't need an
answer right now.
Just take your time.
I don't need any more time.
I want to stay here to help.
With you.
Yeah, I'd like that.
Okay.
Someone looks happy
for staying up all night.
Henry asked me to stay.
What?
Then he kind of tried to
talk me out of it again,
but I ignored that part
and I'm gonna stay.
I'm gonna help him
with the foundation.
There is so much good
that we can do here.
And who knows what else
might come out of it.
I'm happy for you.
Thank you.
What, what's the matter?
Nothing.
It was a good night.
Is that enough?
Come on, think I haven't
noticed you and Seth
avoiding each other
like the plague?
I know.
Oh, it's been awful, but
for a moment tonight,
even though it was tense
and Datu needed our help,
I was just happy to
be working together.
It felt like the
most natural thing.
So what does that tell you?
Hmm?
I mean, you think you
can't be happy again,
but you want and
deserve another chance.
I know, but.
But what?
You're afraid, of what exactly?
I'm afraid that history
will repeat itself.
That somehow things will end
up like they did with Elijah.
And yet
I'm also afraid I'll
regret letting him go.
You have got to talk to him.
I know, but what if, what if he?
What did I say?
No regrets, remember?
It's so hard not
to crush on you
It's so hard not to
fall right through
I keep trying to
build a wall of bricks
But low down 'cause
it's only made of sticks
I don't wanna crush on you
I don't want to
get crushed into
Pieces that might not
come together again
I don't wanna rush into
Something I haven't
thought through
But I'm so careful what if
I'll never get to you
It's so hard not
to crush on you
I never thanked you for
coming to help with Datu.
Of course I was gonna come.
I know.
I was glad you were there too.
You helped me.
A lot.
Look Seth, I.
I haven't exactly handled
this whole trip right.
And it isn't fair to you.
It's not as if I
don't understand though.
All I am is a painful
reminder for you.
No, you're not.
Can you honestly say that?
Okay.
It was a shock at first and
it wasn't easy for me.
You know, when I first
saw you here, I almost left.
Me too.
I know Elijah was
reckless with your feelings,
and I didn't want to put
you through more heartache.
The heartache
wasn't because of you.
If anything, you've helped
me let go of the hurt.
I've seen sides of
you that have made me
admire you more and more.
When we were at the
clinic with Isaiah's son,
you were my colleague,
but also a comfort.
And before that,
you've been the part
of me that's been missing.
I tried not to see it.
I convinced myself
it wasn't possible,
but I keep seeing something
in you that I didn't expect.
What?
You.
Not Elijah, not Elijah's
brother, but you.
I didn't want to
dwell on it before,
but last Christmas,
when you helped me,
I just wished Elijah
had thought to stand
up for me or to cover
for me like you did.
You were a kinder
soul than my fiance.
Elijah did me a favor.
He didn't love me enough
and I loved him so much
that I ignored the things he did
that hurt the people
closest to him.
Whereas you,
you go out of your way for
people because you care.
For them and for me.
I do you care for you.
More than I thought possible.
Then what?
I just keep thinking what
if we make a mess of things?
I don't want us to get hurt...
I am just as scared
about that, believe me,
but I've decided I've
gotta get over it.
I'm willing to risk it.
- You are?
- Yeah.
Who knows how this will end up?
I sure don't but
I want to find out.
Just promise me that
if it comes down to it
we'll figure out good
ways to handle Elijah,
if he's around or any
weird looks people
give us back home or.
Let's not let any
of that worry us.
We'll face whatever we face,
but none of it matters.
The only thing that
matters to me is you.
I believe you.
I always thought he
was a fool to let you go.
But now I'm so glad he did.
Me too.
See anything interesting?
Yes.
Charlotte, Seth!
It's time to go!
Patients waiting.
We better get going.
All right.
I hate these things.
Need a hand?
No.
The McCormicks told
Mom and Dad they're
gonna bring a huge gift.
The grill?
I doubt it.
It's probably
something that Charlotte
put on the registry anyway.
What's with you today?
Nothing.
You want me to call Dad over?
No.
We have a little time still.
I know.
Still got time.
You want me to get you a drink?
Yeah, sure.
All right.
Are you feeling okay, Elijah?
Yeah, always.
I'll, uh.
I'll be right back.
Hey, Dad.
Elijah seems tense.
Yeah, I noticed.
Are you sure you don't know
what's going on with him?
Just because we're
twins doesn't mean
I can read his mind.
You look beautiful,
Charlotte, but listen,
I don't think I can
go through with this.
And I know you
feel the same way.
What?
We don't really love each other.
But Elijah, I do love you.
That's why I said yes.
You don't have to say that.
I mean it.
Where is this coming from?
How long have you
felt like this?
A while.
Then I kept pushing
back what I was feeling.
I mean, there's so much I want
to do and focus on my career.
I'm on the rise,
and could be a senior
manager soon and.
I got to thinking,
I'm not ready, and I
didn't want to hurt you.
Do you need more time?
I don't think I do.
Well, what changed?
Is there someone else?
Did I do something?
No, no, no, nothing like that.
No, it's just.
I don't want to make a mistake
we'll both have to live with.
You understand, don't you?
Thank you.
Hey, Abigail.
Still on for lunch?
I'm ready when you are.
Oh.
Any changes in bed five?
Some pain complaints.
He's asking for a higher dosage.
Take your time, no rush.
Thanks.
Hey Mark, I hear the
pain isn't letting up.
Yeah.
Well, where do you think
you're at on the pain scale?
Probably about a six.
I'm sorry.
Well, I want to take a look
at your blood work, okay?
Now is the pain
staying in the same area?
Yeah.
Okay, that's a Berry Blast
smoothie and a Protein Mango.
9.82.
- Oh.
- Got it.
There you go.
Still carrying this around?
Yeah, I haven't quite
figured out what to do with it.
- Sell it?
- Here's that.
Thank you.
Your order will be right out.
I've been going
over personnel files.
Ooh, that's exciting.
Did you know 20% of doctors
haven't taken their vacation
time in nearly two years?
Guess who that includes?
I'll get to it.
You realize it's paid time off?
Go somewhere exotic and relax.
Uh, but I had a
nice trip planned
and you know what happened.
So, the honeymoon
didn't pan out.
You could still enjoy a break.
My patients need me.
It's not like you've formed
lifelong friendships with them.
You have a revolving door
of people who need care
for a while and
then they move on.
And it never ends
so why should I?
So you don't burn out.
I'm not burned out.
You never took time to deal
with the wedding and Elijah.
I don't need to.
There you go.
- Thank you.
- Thanks.
So, who were the other doctors
who haven't taken a vacation?
Oh, the other workaholics?
You can probably guess.
Dr. Cranston.
For sure.
Charlotte.
Elijah.
How are you?
I'm fine.
You?
Good.
Yeah, we're just gonna
grab a bite to eat.
You want to join us?
I'm good.
My parents keep
asking about you.
I'm sure they'd love it
if you stopped by again.
Thanks.
I'll try to keep in touch.
With them.
Good.
It was good to see you.
You take care, all right?
- Wow.
- Yeah.
- Are you?
- I'm fine.
Have you seen him much since?
Yeah, I run into him
every now and then.
Too often.
Things will calm down though.
Yeah, but not in time.
It's just not gonna work out.
Can you back out of it?
It's volunteer.
I mean, it's my
time on the line.
Everything all right?
James is gonna cancel
the medical mission
he's supposed to go on.
Come on?
Don't make me sound
like a villain.
Why the change?
My dad took a bad turn.
His heart again?
Yeah, I can't be
on the other side
of the world if things go south.
You're gonna leave
that medical foundation
in such a lurch.
It's not like I'm
vacationing instead.
What foundation is it?
They're out of the Philippines.
Small outfit.
I think they started
a year or two ago.
But I had a friend who went
and it sounds pretty cool.
Too bad you can't go.
I will try to go another time.
Have you told 'em yet?
Nope, but I will.
Don't cancel.
Okay, why not?
I am using my vacation time.
Oh, good.
When, are you
going anywhere fun?
Well, I am taking
Dr. Lewis's place
with the Ariana Sallow
Medical Foundation,
and I leave in a week.
Okay.
Why?
You were the one telling
me to go somewhere.
Well, I'm not complaining.
I have to try to
cover your shift.
Not really.
Dr. Lewis can take my
schedule since he's not going.
Okay, are you sure
you want to do this?
It's four weeks.
I was thinking you
should relax, not work.
I know, but treating
people halfway
around the world sounds good.
Much better than
dwelling on the past.
When you put it that way.
Bring me a souvenir.
Of course.
Is this the right place?
Ariana Sallow
Medical Foundation?
Yep.
You found us.
Welcome, I'm Henry.
Hi, Charlotte Hudson.
Thank you so much for coming.
Thank you for having me.
Sorry, I was expecting
the address to take me
to some medical
clinic or something.
No, no, not here.
Yeah, the foundation's
still pretty young
and a little smaller than
others you may be familiar with.
But we still make an impact.
I'm sure.
Listen, I hope you don't mind,
but I do have the
visiting doctors
stay with me in my home here.
It makes it easier
leaving for clinics
on those early mornings,
hope that's okay.
Sounds great.
Perfect.
Well, let me grab your stuff
and I'll show you around.
Thank you.
Wow, this place is incredible.
I know, thank you.
Yeah, my wife, Ariana
and I lived here.
This was her family home.
And when she passed
away, I just.
I didn't want to let
go of the memories.
I'm sorry.
So the foundation is
named after her then?
Yeah, my inspiration.
A lot of the people around here
don't have access to doctors.
Sometimes it's the distance,
especially those out on some
of those less-populated islands.
Or they simply don't know when
to get help until it's critical.
You'll see.
We'll go around to
different villages.
We'll set up a makeshift
clinic for a day or two
and then onto the next one.
Sounds busy.
Yeah.
Well, it's a lot
of constant work,
and that's just
bringing doctors out
for a month every quarter.
I retired from my career
to focus solely on this,
but honestly, I don't
know that it's enough.
Well, I'm sure
it's a great start.
So, how many doctors
are here right now?
Three.
Yourself, an ophthalmologist
and a dentist.
In fact, I think one of
them's recently arrived
from your neck of the woods.
Over here.
This is Dr. Solis,
our ophthalmologist.
Oh, hi ya.
Charlotte Hudson.
Maya, lovely to meet you.
You too.
Elijah?
What are you doing here?
No, no, this is our
volunteer dentist.
Dr. Seth Adkins.
Seth.
Hi, Charlotte.
You two know each other?
Yeah.
I didn't expect to see you here.
Me neither.
I mean, you being here.
Well, good to see you.
Okay, well, your room
is just up this way.
I can take ya.
Long story.
Yeah, I bet.
All the more reason why you
need to tell me immediately.
Uh.
Charlotte's a friend, kind of.
Ex-girlfriend?
No.
What, a sister of some evil
dentist, you know back home?
She's my twin
brother's former fiancee.
Oh.
Yeah.
I hope this will be acceptable.
It's wonderful, thank you.
Okay, so you've got all day
tomorrow to get rested up,
get settled in and then
we'll go visit a clinic
not far from here
day after that.
Sounds good.
Alrighty.
Oh, and be sure to enjoy the
island while you're here.
Get out, see some sights,
relax a little when you can,
you know.
Thanks, but I'm here
to work, not vacation.
Well, everyone
comes for a reason.
Though often for different
reasons than they think.
Hey!
I'm going to go grab some lunch.
No, no, no, I got
food for everyone.
Come, eat.
- You sure?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Thanks.
Can you believe this view?
No.
Still hasn't worn off.
How long have you been here?
Three days.
I came a little bit earlier,
wanted to get my bearings.
And then Dr. Adkins
came in the day after,
and now you're here.
So, where are you from?
Auckland.
London originally,
but, how 'bout you?
Georgia.
Is this your first
medical mission?
No, I've done one in Latin
America and one in Africa,
which was amazing.
You done one before?
This is my first one.
You're a newbie.
You will love it.
It's probably different from
anything that you're used to,
but it's a challenge,
in a good way.
If that makes sense.
Good, I could use
a good challenge.
Seth said you guys
know each other.
Ah, what did he say?
Only that you were his
brother's ex-fiancee.
Only, huh?
Yeah.
Elijah broke things
off on our wedding day.
No.
Was it another woman?
That's what I thought at first,
but apparently that wasn't it.
I guess he just didn't
love me anymore.
Oh, come on, he had to
have said more than that.
Nope, not really.
I'm sorry, that is.
That's awful.
Yeah, that's why I came
here, to get away from him.
All of it.
But it's hard to
do that when I keep
seeing him everywhere I turn.
Speaking of.
Hey guys.
Come and eat, we've
got loads of food.
Thanks.
So I hear we might be
going up North tomorrow.
Any idea what it's like?
No, I mean, I did a
little exploring round here
but that was about it.
Mosquitoes are out already.
Think I'll eat inside.
Oh, all right.
See ya.
I'm so sorry.
I just wasn't prepared for this.
It'll be all right.
I mean, at least he
seems like a nice guy.
Good morning.
Well, good morning.
You two sleep okay?
Great, thanks.
Sorry to keep you all waiting.
Not a problem.
Shall we go?
Well, this is where you'll
be working out of today.
You'll each have an area.
I know it's a
little bit run down,
but it does provide a little bit
of privacy for your patients.
Isaiah here will be
doing triage for you.
And he'll be with us actually
at most of the clinics.
If you need something
translated, give him a holler.
For supplies, we pretty
much have everything you
need here in the room.
But if you find you
need something else,
just let us know and
we'll do our best.
Sounds good.
Well, nothing like a
new adventure, right?
Let's hop to it.
You doing all right?
Yeah, is this the exam table?
Yeah, that's it.
Don't worry, it'll
work well enough.
Thank you.
You ready?
Yeah.
Alrighty, I'll grab
your first patient.
Hi, please sit.
I'm Dr. Hudson.
Can you tell me what happened?
Oh, right.
Can you tell me what happened?
Sorry, I don't know
why I'm yelling.
You need a translator?
Yes.
Isaiah, Dr. Hudson
could use your help.
- Hi.
- Yes, doctor.
I'm just trying to figure
out what exactly happened.
When he arrived,
he told me he slipped
on a pier when he was fishing.
Oh, that sounds painful.
Well, let's take a
look at it, all right?
Yeah, real slow.
There we go.
Oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh.
Okay, I just need to look
at mommy's eyes really,
really, really quick.
Just a minute, just a minute.
Perfect.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Hey.
Hey, why don't you come with me?
I have something I want
to show you really quick.
You're gonna love this.
Hurry, come over here.
Okay.
Let's try again, will
you look at this ear.
Much better, thank you.
That right there,
and another one.
Now you have, yeah.
You blow it.
Well that should do it.
You'll be sore today,
but you'll start
to feel better tomorrow.
Be sure to rinse
gently with salt water.
Thank you.
Do you have any questions?
No.
Now just make sure you're
taking some prenatal vitamins
and getting the proper
nutrition for you and the baby.
This should help
you get started.
Just take one every
day with food.
- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.
Well, that's your
last patient for the day.
How'd it go?
Good, but it was
definitely an adjustment.
Yeah, it always is.
Some things are
pretty basic but.
Well, basic as long
as you have what you
need to take care of them.
Well, and if I can
communicate with them.
Yeah, it's pretty tricky.
And there's so many dialects.
I just barely get by
with limited topics.
And that's after living
here for several years.
Well, thank
goodness Isaiah was nearby.
They're nice people.
Yeah.
I just wish there
was more I could do.
How about dinner out tonight?
Oh, that sounds so good.
Henry, you'll join
us, won't you?
Oh, thank you, but uh.
Oh, come and join us.
It's just that I've
got a lot to arrange.
Tomorrow we're
going to a village
on one of the more
remote islands,
and I want to make sure
the charter boat is set.
They haven't had anyone come
since I was last there
three months ago.
Okay.
What about you Charlotte?
Come on, we'll swap
med school stories.
It will be fun.
Sure, yeah.
Just give me a minute to change.
Yeah.
Charlotte, what
time is it there?
Oh my goodness,
I totally forgot.
You're lucky I was on
the night shift tonight.
Sorry.
Is everything okay?
No, not really.
I mean, it's fine, except I
think maybe this was a mistake.
How bad are the
conditions out there?
It's not that.
I mean, sure, it'd help
if I spoke the language,
but it's a foreign country.
I expected that.
Then what?
Elijah's brother
Seth is out here too.
Seth.
And now you can't
not see Elijah.
Exactly.
Well, is he being a jerk
or making things difficult?
No, I mean, he's nice and all,
but now I can't go anywhere
without seeing Elijah.
Would it look bad for the
hospital if I came home early?
No, but do you really
want to throw in the towel?
No, it's just.
You've barely been there.
You're probably
still jet lagged,
and I'm guessing things
won't seem so bad
once you get some rest.
Yeah.
You're probably right.
Not a bad first day right?
Yeah, it was fine.
That was one of the
nicer clinics I've been to.
When I was in Africa,
that was pretty rough.
It was mostly tents.
Oh.
I'll get you a new one.
No, it's fine.
That's not a problem.
Really, I.
I'll be right back.
I'm sorry, I've got to ask.
How well did you know Seth,
before, when he was your
future brother-in-law?
I'm still trying to wrap my
head around that one.
I mean, I saw him at family
dinners, a few holidays
and things when Elijah and
I were dating and engaged.
Yeah, but like what
was the relationship?
Were you friends,
did you get along?
With Seth?
Oh.
I mean, I guess.
A little.
Last Christmas, I was supposed
to bring the dessert to
the family get together.
Supposed to?
I had just gotten
off a double shift.
I was hurting as
it was and forgot.
Elijah's mom wanted everything
perfect for Christmas.
And was a little
stressed, I think.
But Seth quickly spoke up
that the dessert I chose
was best served fresh,
and that I had called to see
if I could make it there.
He covered for you.
He helped me make it too.
It was nice of him.
Not just helping make it,
but saving me from
the embarrassment.
So what did you guys make?
Some fruit crisp.
Apple cranberry, I believe.
Yeah.
And fortunately your
mother didn't notice
we used up the last
of her cranberries.
Here.
Thanks.
So Seth, where did
you go to dental school?
I went to Augusta.
Is there anything
fun you guys want
to do while we're out here?
I imagine the snorkeling
would be amazing.
Oh yeah.
We should ask Henry.
See if there's
anywhere he recommends.
I also read about whales and
dolphins that swim through.
It would be pretty
awesome to see them.
Oh, can you imagine?
What about you, Charlotte?
Anything on your must-do list?
No, I don't know.
You didn't look up the
things the minute you
decided to come out here?
No, not really.
I was more focused on
leaving than coming here.
Ah, there you all are.
Hi.
Just wanted to let you know
we'll be leaving in
the morning about 7:45.
We will be ready.
And thanks again for
another good day, really.
Wait, come, relax
for a little bit.
Oh.
Yeah, sorry, habit.
Whenever I have doctors here,
I try to make the most of it
and not miss out on
any of the clinics.
So, how often are you
having doctors come out now?
Every three months, yeah.
Like to get to a point
where we have them come
out every month, but
take a lot of volunteers
to get and arrange.
A lot of donated
supplies to hope for.
You know, when I worked for
that Latin American foundation
I found them on this medical
charity listing site.
There's these
organizations out there
and they'll compile all
of the medical charities.
And they'll list
everything that they do.
How the average person
or a corporation
can donate or help.
How doctors can get involved,
all sorts of things.
Hm, really.
I mean, it's up to
you, but if you wanted,
we could try and get
your foundation listed
with one of those sites.
I could show you how.
That'd be great.
Really, anything we could
do to expand our reach here.
Thank you, Maya.
Of course.
Hey, Henry.
Hey.
Does Henry ever rest?
I doubt it.
It's sweet though 'cause
you can tell he really
cares about everyone here.
I think he still
really misses his wife.
Maybe that's why
he's so dedicated.
Do you know anything about her?
Just that she was from
here in the Philippines,
and that they met while
he was out here for work.
What type of work?
The biography on his
foundation website said
that he ran or they owned
some kind of a tech company.
Oh, I assumed he had some type
of background in medical work.
Can you imagine going
from that to doing this,
all in her name?
Losing a loved one
can be devastating.
I guess so.
But at some point you've
got to move on, right?
Live again.
Can I join you?
Um.
I guess.
It's hard to
believe we're here, isn't it?
Yeah.
No, I mean in a
place so beautiful.
Not that it's you and
me of all people here.
Oh, I thought you
meant the second one.
I'm not surprised.
Sorry.
So, what made you
decide to come here?
Well.
My practice is doing great,
and I recently brought on
another dentist to help.
So, I can actually leave
every now and again.
That's good.
Yeah.
Yeah, I used to worry that my
patients would have no one to
go to if I wasn't around
and now that's not an issue.
But why here?
I'd get letters from
different foundations,
asking me to come help.
At first, I'd just
toss them in the trash.
Too busy, not my problem.
That sort of reaction, you know.
But with the other
dentist around,
I'm finding myself in the
office only three days a week.
Nice.
Yeah.
Yeah, I started to
feel a little guilty.
The timing, everything,
lined up well.
I got a letter from Henry's
foundation a couple months ago,
along with a couple of
others I had started saving.
And you chose here?
Yeah.
Something about this place.
It felt like this is
where I was needed.
Was it the same for you?
No.
I, uh.
I actually need to
finish getting ready.
Anything else to pack up?
Oh, that should do it.
How are we looking on time?
We're good if we leave
in the next few minutes.
So, how you holding up so far?
Good.
Yeah, yeah, It's nice here.
Different pace.
Yeah.
Yeah, the more remote we get,
the slower it gets,
in a good way.
Do you ever miss the big city?
You know, the faster
track lifestyle?
No, I used to think
I did, but not anymore.
So.
How are things between
you and Dr. Hudson?
They could be better.
I don't know the details,
but is there anything I can do?
I keep asking what I can
do, but it's a bit tricky.
It won't affect our work though.
Oh no, no, I'm not
worried about that.
So, what makes it tricky?
More that it's
out of my control.
I have a twin brother.
He's older by four
and a half minutes,
and despite the stereotype
of older and wiser, he's.
Not?
There's been more
than a few occasions
where I'm left to
clean up after him.
Wow, that's tough.
Yeah.
But you don't have to
clean up after his missteps?
Yeah.
I'm telling myself
that a lot lately.
Habit over the years.
It's just, it's not
easy to ignore those
he leaves in his wake.
Where's Isaiah, is he coming?
No, he went over yesterday
to get things set up.
Alrighty.
We should probably get going.
Here, take these.
Thanks.
Everybody see it?
Take a look in this area.
Oh, it's dolphins!
Where?
They're beautiful.
How does anybody
leave this place?
So do you always see
dolphins like that out here?
Yeah, pretty much every trip.
Is it the same pod?
Oh gosh, I don't know.
I'd like to think so, but
I'm not about to name them.
Oh, I named 'em.
Ocean, Oceana, Little
Blue and Captain Henry.
Just over here.
This is, uh.
Small?
Yeah.
You'll love it.
- Henry!
- Hey!
Welcome.
Good to see you, Tobias.
Let me introduce
you to my team here.
This is Dr. Hudson, Dr.
Solis, and Dr. Adkins.
Thank you for coming.
Come, come.
Henry.
Tobias is eager for
you to meet his sister.
Oh no.
Lucky for you she's visiting
family on another island.
Don't be surprised if he asks
you to come back for her.
Listen, how do you say
no matchmaking in Tagalog?
You hungry?
Yeah.
We should probably eat now.
Isaiah said some more families
will be coming by soon.
Thanks.
Is it safe?
Uh, Henry's eating it so.
Can you imagine living this
far away from everything?
No doctor, no store, no...
Movie theater?
No, I can't.
They seem happy though.
Maybe there's something to that.
Yeah, could be.
Still.
Not for you, huh?
At least it's eye opening.
So, why did you come out here?
I mean, don't take
this the wrong way,
but it doesn't really
seem like it's your thing.
Are you saying I'm too
self-centered to volunteer?
See I told you
not to take it the wrong way.
No, what I mean is you
seem very committed
to the hospital back home.
Very focused.
I was.
Then why?
Do you really expect
me to say it out loud?
No.
I was hoping it wasn't
the reason I thought.
Well, sorry to disappoint.
My reasons for being here
aren't as selfless as yours.
I'm not him.
I know you know that,
but you're still
taking what Elijah
did out on me.
I'm not.
I'm trying not to.
It's hard when you.
Yeah.
Look, I know Elijah hurt you.
Believe me, my parents
and I were upset
with him breaking things
off the way he did.
But, can't we move past that?
It's awkward.
So, it's awkward.
We both know it, now
let's leave that behind.
You really think it's that easy?
I'm hoping it can be.
Regardless of my brother,
can't we be friends?
Yeah, I guess.
Yeah.
Oh, oh!
Still think it's safe?
Seth.
What?
Whales!
Slow it down.
Let me guess, you see
these all the time too?
Yeah.
Really?
Well, you've never
really experienced whales
until you've seen
things from their level.
Anybody up for a swim?
Seriously, can we?
Did you see that?
That was amazing.
Looks like you got your wish.
Even better.
These photos are brilliant,
if I do say so myself.
Aw, send me some.
I will, I will.
Oh, Henry, I sent you
a foundation's website
to some of those
organizations I mentioned.
Really, already, thank you.
It will massively
increase exposure
and hopefully attract
some more doctors for you.
And funding.
Actually, I can
handle the costs okay.
It's the medical supplies
that are a bit of an issue.
I could talk to the
hospital I work at.
They donate excess supplies
to other causes all the time.
Why not yours?
That'd be great.
You think I'd have all
this figured out by now.
It's not like it's easy.
I just hope I
can keep up with it all.
Anyway, tomorrow we
have nothing planned.
So, please just enjoy your day.
Henry, thank you for today.
It was incredible.
Well, I'm glad you liked it.
Hey Abigail,
you're at work early.
I thought I'd check on
you before my day got busy.
How are you?
I'm good.
You're still there
so I'm assuming
things are better.
Yeah.
Yeah, they are.
The people are really nice
and I can see the need here.
Any tricky cases so far?
Nothing I couldn't
handle but that's good.
There are only so many
resources and supplies.
Speaking of, the foundation
could really use some more.
Any chance you can
arrange something?
Yeah, I think so.
I'll see what I can set up.
Really?
Oh, that's great, thank you.
So, how are things with Seth?
Still awkward.
Although he's, he's nice.
So what, you're friends now?
Oh, not quite, but
maybe getting there.
- Morning.
- Morning.
You headed out somewhere?
The market.
I think we passed it yesterday
on the way to the marina.
Can I come, I
need some groceries.
Is that all right?
Sure.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
These look good.
I was hoping
to find some cereal here.
It's not that kind of market.
Here, try mango.
It's healthier.
Oh, wow, are those pearls?
Pretty color.
You should get it.
Oh, I don't need it.
Jewelry is not about need.
Do you want a bracelet?
Well, all I'm
saying is live a little.
Here.
Oh no, no, no, it's fine.
- Thanks.
- Mm-hmm.
You know, I could
have bought that myself.
But you wouldn't have, enjoy.
Thank you.
So, what's Elijah
up to these days?
Last I heard he was
trying to move up at work.
Yeah, the thrilling field
of investment advising.
I'd love to say he got fired,
but he's just been
doing his thing,
living the dream, whatever.
Why would you want
him to be fired?
Karma.
Just kidding, kind of.
So, is he seeing anyone?
No one consistently.
Oh good.
I mean, not good, but good.
He's getting out there and
you know, meeting new people.
Yeah.
Have you?
What?
Gone out there
and met new people?
Well, I'm here, aren't I?
I mean dating, not just work.
I've been busy.
It's been over three months.
Yeah, and it's been
a busy three months.
All right.
So, what should we do
for the rest of the day?
I think I may go take a nap.
No, you didn't come all the way
out to the Philippines
just to sleep.
Fine, what do you have in mind?
How about horseback riding?
Oh no, I probably shouldn't.
What?
Henry might need my help.
Nice try but we both know
that guy's got it under control.
Let's get changed,
I'll meet you in 10.
Oh hello, name?
Seth Adkins and Charlotte.
Yes, yes, come, come.
I have horse for you.
Here.
- This one?
- Yeah, up, up.
Okay, up, all right.
No.
Okay.
It's harder than it looks.
You've never
ridden horses before?
Not since I was a teenager.
Come, pull,
pull, use muscles and pull.
Muscles and pull, okay.
Yeah, there you go.
- You are big.
- Here, come, here.
Woo, I.
- You teach him.
- Okay.
Okay, let's go.
So, where does this take us?
I can't remember.
I have no idea.
You don't know?
Well, what are we
supposed to see then?
I can't remember
what the brochure said
but it doesn't matter.
It's about the journey, right?
The experience.
Bonding with nature
and your horse.
Great.
Don't you like horses?
Do you?
Yes, but I love all
animals, always have.
Yeah, you should have been
a veterinarian, not a dentist.
I actually wanted to be a vet.
Really?
Why didn't you?
Ah, it wasn't enough.
What do you mean?
Elijah was going into a
lucrative and successful field.
My parents, well,
they never said it,
but I felt like they expected
something more prestigious
from me than working
with animals.
Surprised you let
that dissuade you.
Elijah would tease
me about the idea.
So, I began to think I
should do something else.
Eh, you could always
have a second career,
a midlife crisis or something.
Ditch your dental practice and
learn how to treat animals.
I could, but being
a dentist isn't bad.
Besides, I'd rather interact
with animals in this way.
I have gotten a
bunch of inquiries
about my foundation already.
Really?
Whatever you did is working.
Good.
Is it mostly donations,
volunteers, bit of both?
No, it's mainly volunteers.
Everybody seems to have a
different availability though.
It's kind of making me dizzy,
keeping it all straight.
The foundations I worked
for before had entire teams
doing what you're trying
to do all by yourself.
I have Isaiah.
Yes you do.
And Isaiah is great.
I just, I don't think
that's going to be enough.
Well, it'll have to do for now.
I just, I can't focus on
bringing on someone new.
I still have to make sure
I can keep things going
as they are, while adding
more doctor rotations.
All right, listen.
Will you just promise me one
thing, that as this gets busier
and the foundation
continues to grow,
take a minute every now
and again and just relax.
Breathe.
I promise.
I do try to fly back to
the US every Christmas
to be with my family.
You do?
Yeah.
My mom lives with my
sister and her family.
I have a brother who's
on marriage number four.
Oh.
- And then there's my son.
- Oh.
Yeah, he's in college
back in Virginia.
So when you go back, how
long did you get to stay for?
Two or three weeks,
then right back here.
I bet they miss you when you go.
It's always good
to see the family
and spend a bit
of time together.
But I love coming back here.
So, this is home for you.
Yes.
Yeah.
What about you?
You're from New Zealand, yeah?
Yep, and London before that.
So which is home and
which is the place you live?
Um.
Well, I've lived in
Auckland for 15 years now.
And it's the place
I live, I think.
But to be honest, I felt
the same way about London.
So I don't know.
You have kids?
No, I was married once
before, when I was younger.
I was too young, turns out.
I'm sorry.
I feel like I've got a
sense of freedom now though.
Like I can go to new places
and see new cultures and
make new relationships.
That's good, yeah.
Fantastic.
Pineapple is big business.
Lots of use for
fruiters and plant.
Stop here, you
can take pictures.
Your horses rest for a minute.
Should we?
Yeah, might as well.
So did you ever want to be
something other than a doctor?
No, only in the
first couple of years
when I was exhausted.
Still like it then?
Yeah, why wouldn't I?
I'm just thinking
about that story you
told Maya the other day,
what happened last Christmas.
Thought maybe it was
becoming too much.
No, I just, I didn't want to
disappoint your mom or Elijah.
Did I ever thank you for
helping me out of that?
Yes, yes, you did.
Good.
They miss you, you know?
Yeah?
Yeah.
I get the sense
that if they could
pick a daughter-in-law,
it would it be you.
What about you?
Any future
daughter-in-law prospects
you'll be bringing home to them?
Nope, and thanks for
reminding me of a topic
my father likes to bring
up whenever I see him.
Your dad?
I'd assume it'd be your
mom bringing it up.
Nah, nah.
She's still hemming and hawing
over Elijah's life choices.
Oh, there's your karma.
Now, at least it spares me
from her fixating
on my love life.
So can I ask why no one
special has caught your eye?
I guess that's just it.
No one special
has caught my eye.
I don't know.
Maybe I'm too caught
up with everyday life.
Get up, go to work.
See patients, cavities,
root canals, come home,
catch a game with some friends
and do it all over again.
Through it all, no
one's really stood out.
So, what are you looking for?
I don't know.
Oh, come on.
Blonde, brunette, auburn,
athletic, tall, petite, bookish?
I'm not sure any of
that really matters.
I'm just looking for that.
That moment.
Beyond the carefree
decision of sure,
let's grab a coffee sometime.
The spark.
Who knows?
Maybe I'll let you
know when it happens.
Okay, let's go.
Hey, Maya!
Hi, how was horseback riding?
It was fun.
Enlightening.
So you coming in?
This water is amazing.
Thanks, maybe next time.
All right.
I had fun.
Thanks for suggesting it.
Yeah, I'm glad you came.
What's the matter,
you all right?
Just.
My brother was a
fool to let her go.
Do you need some motion
sickness meds again?
Sorry, this place
is a little out there.
Even farther than
the island village?
Well, there are
degrees, I guess.
Kumusta?
All right, these people are
mostly waiting on vaccines.
This is my first time here.
Another village referred
them to the foundation.
Let's get started then.
Yeah.
There you go.
Okay, you're all set, thanks.
Next.
Hey, Henry!
- Yeah.
- Come here.
Hang on.
Yeah, what can I do for you?
Put those on.
Okay.
They can be a little
tricky to get on.
Now when you're ready, I'm
going to have you take this.
There you go.
Now here, insert with
the needle like this,
and pull the plunger back
to fill it, 0.5 milliliters,
Okay, like that?
Good, now keep the tip of
the syringe in the liquid
and careful not to draw on
any air if you can help it.
Right, okay, like that?
Uh huh.
- Good?
- Great.
Ready to give it a try?
What?
We've got a line of people here.
Oh yeah, no, they they've
come to see doctors,
not a computer geek.
You'll be fine, come on.
We'll start by
cleaning his skin.
How are you?
- Fine.
- All right, thank you.
Yeah.
I'm just gonna
slightly grab the arm,
a wide pinch, if you will, and.
All set?
There.
Are you feeling okay?
Yeah, I'll be fine.
- Do you need to sit?
- Yep, mm-hmm.
- I'll take that.
- Maybe you oughta.
Yeah.
I didn't think it
would bother you.
Yeah, no it shouldn't.
I am a fully grown man.
But needles have
always made me queasy.
There goes my
career in medicine.
Just take a
deep breath, you'll be fine.
Embarrassing.
Okay, do you see my earring?
Can you just look
right there for me?
Hi-five.
Good job.
Oh!
I mean, I could
see you turning green
from across the room.
You did well, Henry.
Just don't make me watch
anything with needles anymore.
Doing all right there, Seth?
Seeing anything
interesting outside?
Just green blurs.
I feel like if I can
keep my focus out there
it doesn't bother
my stomach as much.
Oh, that's not good.
What is it?
Sounded like something
hit the undercarriage.
Well, whatever it was, the
truck is no longer working.
Sorry, guys.
That's all right.
It was an accident.
Do you have
any service out here?
No.
What, no jungle
cell phone tower?
Afraid not.
I didn't see anybody
on the way out here.
Or on the way in.
Do you know how
far out we are still?
Oh, 40 kilometers.
35 to the nearest village.
And 25 kilometers back to
the village we just were at.
The sun'll be set by then.
I think we're just
gonna have to wait it
out here tonight.
How will anybody find us?
Well, hopefully somebody
will come along the road,
but if not, we are
scheduled to meet up
with Isaiah at a different
part of the island tomorrow.
He'll know something's up.
He'll come for us.
Well, what do we
have to work with then?
Does anybody want
something to eat?
I've got granola bars,
packets of crisps, water.
Water'll be good.
Let's just bring the...
Always be prepared, right?
Yeah.
We could stand to be a little
more prepared than we are.
It's fine.
It's like an adventure, right?
Yeah, you have a healthy
sense of optimism there, Maya.
To be honest, these are
better camping conditions
than I had growing up.
Yeah, you camped a lot?
No, And I'll tell you why.
There was always a bug or
creature in my sleeping bag.
Like what?
Once there was a gecko,
that wasn't so bad.
Another time, a dead mouse.
In your sleeping bag?
A spider, centipede.
Ugh, gross.
Oh, the worst was a snake.
- No.
- Why?
You just have the worst
luck in all the land?
Close.
I had a mischievous brother.
No, he didn't.
In his defense, at least
the snake was a garter.
And harmless.
You ever do any camping, Maya?
No, and apparently I
wasn't missing out on much.
How about you Charlotte?
Yeah.
Fortunately, I don't have
a brother to torment me.
One of my favorite things though
was looking up at
the stars at night.
Oh, well, you might
want to look up.
Don't want to miss these.
Wow.
It's beautiful.
One of the many
things I love here.
Did anyone come?
No, it's early yet.
Oh, uh, Seth got
a little restless.
Went to look for food.
Really?
Like I said, restless.
Morning, what'd I miss?
I'm going to go check on Seth.
Okay.
Be careful, don't get lost.
Honk, if anyone comes.
You got it.
Oh, I hate the jungle.
Hate the jungle.
Seth?
Seth?
What are you doing out here?
Henry said you were
coming to look for food.
Did you find any?
Yeah.
Yeah, I found some
fruit or something.
Why, you hungry?
Just curious.
Well, I didn't know what
it was, so I left it behind.
You didn't even try it?
No, what if it was poisonous?
What?
You're kind of paranoid.
Okay, says the
girl scaring herself
from noises in the jungle.
Okay, I'm not being
critical, it's just.
Elijah would have eaten
the fruit without thought.
Yeah, he would.
Well, it's a good
thing I'm not him then.
Being bold isn't a bad thing.
No, so long as you balance it.
Elijah doesn't.
Wow.
What?
I didn't realize you two didn't
get along as well as I thought.
We get along fine.
It's just, Elijah can
be impulsive, like with.
Nevermind.
Like when he dumped me?
Being impulsive isn't
a bad thing, you know.
Are you defending him now?
No, I'm just saying being
impulsive can be good.
You know, I'm surprised at
how you talk about Elijah.
Nevermind, how you reacted
when you saw me here
and treated me just
because I look like him.
And now you're talking
like what he did is okay.
Trust me, it's not.
Good.
I'm sorry, I shouldn't
have brought it up.
It's just, even I resent
what he did to you.
And I don't know, hearing
you talk about him like that.
I guess, I just think you
should still be upset with him.
I am.
Sort of.
More than anything, I'm.
I don't know why he backed
away and why I didn't see it.
I mean, what did I miss?
Was it really him
and his career?
Was it because he feels
threatened because I'm a doctor?
Did he just not love me?
Sorry, forget I said anything.
No, no.
It was just as much
of a surprise to me.
Charlotte, what's wrong?
What happened?
It's all right.
It doesn't look all right.
What did you do?
What I had to.
I broke things off.
You what?
Why would you do that?
It wasn't right.
Not now, maybe not ever.
Elijah, it's your wedding
day, her wedding day.
I know, bad form
and all that, right?
She'll be fine.
Any improvement?
No.
Didn't think there
would be, just.
Can't help checking?
Yeah, and hoping.
Well, you're kind of a have
to stay busy type, aren't ya?
Yeah, I think I get a little
bit restless if I don't.
Ariana was just like that.
Always fixing something up,
organizing, straightening.
Yeah, maybe it's a woman thing.
Maybe.
Only time I could
ever get her to stop
was when we were traveling.
What happened to her?
She got sick.
Ariana had always wanted to
visit a lot of the islands.
So we decided to do it.
Take a couple of weeks,
just go from place to place.
It was a chance for her
to see her home country
in a new way.
Yeah.
We were on this tiny Island.
I mean, smaller than the one
we were on the other day,
if you can believe it.
Really?
And she started feeling ill.
It just happened so fast.
Still don't know if it was
some bug she'd picked up,
or something she ate,
something she touched.
There was no plane, only way
off the island was a boat.
And she was just in so much
pain, it wasn't an option.
No one could help her.
Maybe I should have
tried the boat,
but I just couldn't stand
the thought of.
By the time I realized
that we had to risk it,
it was too late.
She passed away right
there on that island.
I'm so sorry.
Yeah, me too.
But you found a wonderful
way to keep her memory alive.
I mean, you've turned a tragedy
into something good,
something wonderful.
It's got a long way to go still,
but I think she'd be proud
of what I've done so far.
He came, you were right!
Hey, guys!
Isaiah!
Elijah has a
self-centered streak.
To outsiders he seems driven
and bound for success.
And that often comes at
the expense of others.
I saw it over and over
again growing up with him.
And if there was a problem,
I usually had to clean it up.
I'm not a problem.
No, that's not what I meant.
I only mean, he's moved on,
and not seen the
consequences of what he did.
I wonder if the only
way he'll learn is if he.
Goes through the same
heartbreak he put you through.
I don't know.
All I know is I don't
want anyone to go
through the same heartbreak
if they can avoid it.
It's Henry.
Oh, somebody came.
Yeah.
Alrighty, thanks again, Isaiah.
Next time, take a better car.
Yeah.
Ah, it's good to be
back in civilization.
Yes, running water is my friend.
Oh, since we didn't make
it to today's destination
we've rescheduled
it for tomorrow.
Sounds good to me.
Listen, after we
get back tomorrow
let me take you guys all out
to some nice place for dinner.
Oh, you don't have to do that.
Oh no, no, I want to.
If you're sure.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, yeah.
Seth, Maya?
- Yeah.
- Count me in.
Okay.
See you later?
Yeah.
- Hey!
- Hey.
What's up?
Just wondering,
what do you think
the dress is for dinner tonight?
I haven't even thought about it.
You could ask Henry if
you want to be sure?
No, no, no, that's all right.
What are you wearing and I'll
just pick based off of that.
I have no idea.
Well, what are your options?
What are we working with?
See for yourself.
Here?
Oh, this is lovely,
you should wear this.
I was thinking I'd wear pants.
No, you should dress up tonight.
Why?
Well, Seth might like it.
Why should that matter?
It's not like we're
involved or anything.
Oh, come on.
The way you two get along,
you must've at
least considered it.
No.
Oh, that would be so awkward.
I, everyone would think we
had some forbidden romance
before, when I was with Elijah.
Did you?
No!
I'm just saying, there'd
be looks and rumors
and the odd family gatherings
when Elijah would be there too.
Oh yeah, you've not given
this any thought at all,
have you?
I'm just thinking out loud.
Well, throw Elijah
out of the situation.
It's just you and Seth.
No awkward history,
nobody else's opinion.
Would you go out with him?
Sure, why not?
No, I don't just
mean a simple date.
Could you see him being your
boyfriend or maybe more?
But if I could,
isn't that strange?
No, why would it be?
Because I was engaged
to his twin brother.
Okay.
Maybe on the surface, but I
mean, if you have feelings
for him then none of
that should matter.
I always say, learn the
lesson, forget the rest.
No regrets.
Well, what about you and Henry?
I can tell you admire him.
No.
Is it obvious?
Only if you know what to
look for, but don't worry.
I think he's clueless.
Yeah, he's pretty clueless, huh?
Yeah.
I just, I don't
want it to be awkward.
I mean, I know it's
been several years,
but I feel like he's still
mourning his wife on some level.
I think he always
will, that's normal.
Yeah, I just, I don't, I
don't want to be insensitive.
I feel like I'm stomping
on her memory or something.
No, I don't think
you're doing that at all.
Just give him time.
I don't think he's
really thought
of moving forward
with his heart.
Yeah.
Right, so for dinner are
we talking fancy ballroom,
or boring doctor soulless?
Ah, how dressed up
are we really talking?
I have an idea, I shall return.
You just, you wait right there.
Okay.
Wait, is the
restaurant that far or?
This is the restaurant.
What?
I thought a sunset dinner
cruise might be a nice change.
- Oh, I love it.
- Yeah, please.
That is a nice
dress on you, Maya.
Oh, thank you.
Something I should know there.
You can probably guess.
- Here.
- Oh, thanks.
So how soon until you have
the next doctors coming out?
Two months.
And then I have another
group coming in three months,
thanks to you.
Really?
Yeah, I just hope I
can get it all arranged.
Well, good news.
The administrator at my hospital
is already working
on donating supplies.
Thank you.
You know, we could get more.
Didn't you use to work
in the tech industry?
Yeah.
That's a great idea, Maya.
Yeah, they have deep pockets
and like to donate
to good causes.
They do.
I mean, is there anybody
you're still in contact with,
someone you'd feel
comfortable reaching out to?
Yeah, I already have a little.
I'm just not
terribly bold when it
comes to things like that.
Well, I mean, if it's
something that you want,
you've got to ask for it.
Mm-hmm.
Here, let me grab your.
Oh yeah, I can help.
- Thank you.
- Oh, I'll help.
Come on.
What?
Let's check out the
view from the bow.
Isn't it rockier up there?
I took something
for motion sickness
the second I saw the boat.
Ah.
Whoa!
You okay?
I'm not great on my feet
on land, much less out here.
You should see me dance.
Oh, I can imagine.
Elijah, let's just say
he didn't like dancing.
Ah, so it's true then?
You made Elijah
take dance lessons.
He told you.
You thought the
traditional first dance
as a couple wouldn't wow anyone.
Um, I did not say that.
Hey, I'm just repeating
how Elijah put it.
He did hate it, and that's fine.
I just, I wanted
everything to be perfect.
Not that it ended up
mattering anyway.
Well, the cake was really good.
Was it?
I didn't even get to try it.
Well, my mom chastised
me for taking a slice,
saying it was bad luck.
But I figured that ship
had already sailed.
Wow, I am glad the event
wasn't a total loss then.
I had leftovers for weeks.
Oh, but hors d'oeuvres
don't keep well.
Yeah, the caterer tried
to get me to take some home
as if that would
make me feel better.
Did it?
Yeah.
Kidding, I threw the
food away as soon
as I walked in the door.
- Oh.
- I'll get that, thank you.
Thanks so much.
Hey, if you wanted my
help with the foundation
I'd be willing to stay and help.
That's nice.
I couldn't ask you to do that.
Why not?
It's too much.
You're already
sacrificing a lot.
No, it's not a
sacrifice, I like it here.
Well, what about your
practice back in Auckland?
I could figure something
out, make arrangements.
Just, it feels good here.
Thank you.
But I'm not really sure
what I'm going to do yet.
Yeah.
It's just an option,
something to think about.
Yeah, okay.
Thank you.
- Yeah.
In spite of it all, was
there any good that came of it?
I guess being here.
Using my profession to help.
I don't know if I would've
have considered it otherwise.
It's been nice here.
Till I showed up.
Even that's not been
as horrible as I feared.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Good.
When we went horseback riding,
I told you that I'd let you know
if I ever felt that
spark for someone.
I remember.
Is that okay?
Mm-hmm.
I'm sorry.
I can't.
Oh, what was I thinking?
Stupid.
I'm stupid.
You okay?
Yeah, oh yeah.
Is Dr. Solis.
Maya.
Is she?
Am I reading that right?
I wondered when
you would notice.
Wow.
Well, I guess I've
really gotten blind
to seeing things like that.
What kind of things?
Emotional type situations.
Matters of the heart?
Thank you, that sounds better.
Well, she is an eye doctor.
Maybe she can help
you see again.
Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know that
it's such a good idea.
Why not?
Conflict of interest.
We're employer, employee.
It's hardly that.
She's a doctor, and a
volunteer, and a good person.
Maybe you could
use a fresh start.
Charlotte.
I'm sorry, I overstepped.
I shouldn't have.
- No, it's not your fault.
I just can't.
I want to think I can look
past everything, but I can't.
I'm not strong
enough, and you're.
It's just too hard.
Maybe I rushed
things between us,
but that doesn't mean
you don't feel something.
I do feel something.
I feel hurt and
angry and confused.
What about hope
and happiness, love?
It doesn't matter.
I don't trust my
heart when I see you.
Do you ever think you'll be able
to look at me and
not see Elijah?
Okay.
Looks good, you're all set.
Let me just get you.
Thank you.
- Thank you.
Yeah.
All right, you're all set.
Hey, Isaiah?
Can I get your help
over here real quick?
Yes.
Thanks.
Would you mind asking
her really quick?
I just wanted to
check something.
Charlotte, perfect timing.
We were just
sitting down to eat.
Oh, what are we having?
Seth grilled up some chicken,
and I got a cassava
cake from the market.
I'm good, but thanks.
You guy go on ahead.
You two all right?
Yeah, yeah.
Dr. Adkins looks at you a lot.
Oh?
Hi, everything all right?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Do you have any big
plans for the weekend?
You've all been busy.
I haven't even thought about it.
You know, no one
would think twice
about taking a
little time to relax.
I know, it's just not
important to me though.
All work, no play.
When you first arrived here,
you thought you'd come just
to, to volunteer, to help.
Yeah, I'd like to think
that I'm that dedicated,
but we both know I
came here to escape.
Did that work?
No, not really.
I'm sorry if I've seemed
distracted or unfocused.
Oh no, no, no.
Everything's been fine there.
No, I just bring
it up because you,
you don't seem happy.
Yeah.
You know, I came
here to find closure.
But instead I feel even more
uncertain about everything.
Yeah, closing the
door on your past
doesn't mean you have to
block out your future.
That sounds wise.
But it's too complicated.
Seth and I,
we couldn't have a future.
Oh.
That's too bad.
Dr. Hudson?
Doctor?
Henry, what's wrong?
I'm so sorry to wake you.
I got a call from Isaiah.
His son, apparently he got hurt.
They are hurrying over to
that clinic to meet us.
Yes, of course.
I'll grab my things.
- Thank you.
Is everything all right?
Sorry, I didn't mean
to disturb either of you.
It's Isaiah's son,
he needs help.
- Oh no.
- I'll get dressed.
Me too.
How serious?
I don't know.
He said his son Datu
fell and he's bleeding.
He said he has a hurt leg.
I could hear him crying.
Do you get many of
these midnight calls?
No, not often.
I have trained myself
to be a light sleeper
so when they come in but.
The worst is when I get a call
and there's no doctors here.
Well, we're going
to change that.
We're getting close.
Thank you.
Let's get everything set up.
I'll get the lights.
Maya, could you get
the ones over there?
On it.
I'll wait for him outside.
Do you want
to help me with this?
Yeah.
I thought I heard them coming.
Is that them?
Okay.
- He's here.
Over here.
Put his head this way.
Can you tell me what happened?
My son, Datu, he sleepwalks.
I heard him crying outside.
He fell on some rocks.
Datu, can you
tell me what hurts?
Leg.
Are you having any
trouble breathing?
So you sleepwalk, huh?
You know, I used to do
that when I was your age.
I need a.
Thank you.
- I can clean it.
It's gonna need a few stitches.
- I got it.
- Okay.
Datu, can you tell me what's
going on with your wrist?
Hurt.
Can you move it
at all, like this?
Ow, ow.
Okay, yeah, that's good.
We'll just let it rest.
Sprain?
I think so, but it's
gonna have to wait.
I have ice packs.
Great.
Isaiah, could Isaiah
stand on his leg at all?
No, too much pain.
Okay.
Thank you.
Henry, could we
get more ice packs?
Yeah, of course.
What is it?
Most likely a broken leg.
Okay, that's not
a huge deal, right?
Well, it depends
on how it broke.
I don't have an x-ray here.
I mean, it could be a
simple greenstick fracture,
but if it's not, I
can't tell how bad it is
or if what I'm doing is enough.
Don't we just
splint and cast it?
Yeah, well, is it
properly aligned?
It's swollen, so visually
I just can't be sure.
I'm just, I'm guessing.
Henry, is there an x-ray
machine anywhere on the island?
No, not that I know of.
Okay, so you don't have
what you normally need
in this situation, but Datu
has you and you have us.
Okay.
What do you need us to do?
Finish cleaning and
stitching the head wound.
Maya, could you
bandage his wrist?
Yes.
Henry, can I get a splint?
Yep, I've got one.
Doctor.
Everything's gonna
be all right, Isaiah.
Datu, I think you
broke your leg.
I'm gonna touch it, okay?
I know.
- You're okay.
I know.
Is this where it hurts the most?
Is it numb?
Tingling?
Tingling, does he
know that word?
Okay, that's good.
Can you feel my fingers
on your ankle here?
That's good.
We're gonna make sure
you're feeling better.
I'm gonna start by
splinting your leg, okay?
Thank you.
Okay, nice and easy.
- Better?
- A little.
You did well on those stitches.
Yeah, they're not so bad.
Try doing that in
someone's mouth.
Datu will be sore,
but keep his leg
elevated for a couple of days.
We can cast it once
the swelling goes down,
but I'd like to take a look
at it on an x-ray first
to be sure.
We can get a charter to a
larger island with a hospital.
I can arrange that.
- Thank you, Henry.
- Yeah.
Thank you, Dr. Hudson.
Thank you, everyone.
Thank you.
I am just so glad
that you were all here.
Us too.
Do you need any help
setting up the boat charter?
No, no.
No, I can handle
that, you all rest up.
Hopefully there won't be
any more excitement today.
Sounds good.
- See you in a minute?
- Yeah.
You doing all right?
Knowing that Datu
will be okay, yes.
That's the important thing.
Yeah.
Poor boy.
You know, it's just a shame
we didn't have any
diagnostics equipment.
I know.
We could though, you know.
Well, we travel around
from place to place.
But they make portable versions
of most machines nowadays.
I mean, not everything, but
take an x-ray, for example.
What if we had had something
like that there tonight?
Can you imagine the difference
that could have made?
Yeah, I dunno.
It sounds great, but
how do I get all that?
It doesn't have
to be all at once.
We just.
We'll keep taking in donations,
and we'll eventually buy
the machinery that we need.
And then that will help
us to treat the patients
more effectively
and more accurately.
In fact, it is a great way to
help the foundation expand.
What?
I'm sorry.
I just, I didn't expect
you to be so involved.
Why not?
I guess I thought it
was asking too much.
Oh.
You were serious about
wanting to stay here.
Very.
Well, I've been thinking
and I think it would be nice
for you to stay.
Really?
Yeah, I mean, you
know, you were right.
I can't really handle the
foundation anymore by myself,
with the incoming doctors and
the funding and the machines.
Trying to keep the clinics
open on all the islands.
It's, it's.
And it's something
I don't think I even
want to try to keep doing
alone, anymore, really.
Do you want me to stay?
Yes.
But only if you're sure it
won't disrupt your practice
or your life back home.
It's completely up to you.
Okay.
Okay, you're staying
or, or you're thinking?
Yeah, I don't, you know what?
I don't need an
answer right now.
Just take your time.
I don't need any more time.
I want to stay here to help.
With you.
Yeah, I'd like that.
Okay.
Someone looks happy
for staying up all night.
Henry asked me to stay.
What?
Then he kind of tried to
talk me out of it again,
but I ignored that part
and I'm gonna stay.
I'm gonna help him
with the foundation.
There is so much good
that we can do here.
And who knows what else
might come out of it.
I'm happy for you.
Thank you.
What, what's the matter?
Nothing.
It was a good night.
Is that enough?
Come on, think I haven't
noticed you and Seth
avoiding each other
like the plague?
I know.
Oh, it's been awful, but
for a moment tonight,
even though it was tense
and Datu needed our help,
I was just happy to
be working together.
It felt like the
most natural thing.
So what does that tell you?
Hmm?
I mean, you think you
can't be happy again,
but you want and
deserve another chance.
I know, but.
But what?
You're afraid, of what exactly?
I'm afraid that history
will repeat itself.
That somehow things will end
up like they did with Elijah.
And yet
I'm also afraid I'll
regret letting him go.
You have got to talk to him.
I know, but what if, what if he?
What did I say?
No regrets, remember?
It's so hard not
to crush on you
It's so hard not to
fall right through
I keep trying to
build a wall of bricks
But low down 'cause
it's only made of sticks
I don't wanna crush on you
I don't want to
get crushed into
Pieces that might not
come together again
I don't wanna rush into
Something I haven't
thought through
But I'm so careful what if
I'll never get to you
It's so hard not
to crush on you
I never thanked you for
coming to help with Datu.
Of course I was gonna come.
I know.
I was glad you were there too.
You helped me.
A lot.
Look Seth, I.
I haven't exactly handled
this whole trip right.
And it isn't fair to you.
It's not as if I
don't understand though.
All I am is a painful
reminder for you.
No, you're not.
Can you honestly say that?
Okay.
It was a shock at first and
it wasn't easy for me.
You know, when I first
saw you here, I almost left.
Me too.
I know Elijah was
reckless with your feelings,
and I didn't want to put
you through more heartache.
The heartache
wasn't because of you.
If anything, you've helped
me let go of the hurt.
I've seen sides of
you that have made me
admire you more and more.
When we were at the
clinic with Isaiah's son,
you were my colleague,
but also a comfort.
And before that,
you've been the part
of me that's been missing.
I tried not to see it.
I convinced myself
it wasn't possible,
but I keep seeing something
in you that I didn't expect.
What?
You.
Not Elijah, not Elijah's
brother, but you.
I didn't want to
dwell on it before,
but last Christmas,
when you helped me,
I just wished Elijah
had thought to stand
up for me or to cover
for me like you did.
You were a kinder
soul than my fiance.
Elijah did me a favor.
He didn't love me enough
and I loved him so much
that I ignored the things he did
that hurt the people
closest to him.
Whereas you,
you go out of your way for
people because you care.
For them and for me.
I do you care for you.
More than I thought possible.
Then what?
I just keep thinking what
if we make a mess of things?
I don't want us to get hurt...
I am just as scared
about that, believe me,
but I've decided I've
gotta get over it.
I'm willing to risk it.
- You are?
- Yeah.
Who knows how this will end up?
I sure don't but
I want to find out.
Just promise me that
if it comes down to it
we'll figure out good
ways to handle Elijah,
if he's around or any
weird looks people
give us back home or.
Let's not let any
of that worry us.
We'll face whatever we face,
but none of it matters.
The only thing that
matters to me is you.
I believe you.
I always thought he
was a fool to let you go.
But now I'm so glad he did.
Me too.
See anything interesting?
Yes.
Charlotte, Seth!
It's time to go!
Patients waiting.
We better get going.
All right.
