Off The Map s01e11 Episode Script
Everything's as It Should Be
Previously on "Off the Map" Ay, mira.
Dr.
Brenner, this is my son Mateo.
You're going to make house calls to our farm, where we grow I know what you grow, but I get it.
I get it now.
- Gracias.
- De nada.
We had sex.
You're my home.
And I'm really scared that we screwed that up.
Yeah.
Benshe not a patient.
She's my wife.
She's been gone for five years, and I've still got her hooked up to machines.
You see that.
Aah! What is the big deal?! Because it was my care package! A dozen bagels my mother had shipped from New York City, - and you ate all of them?! - I'm sorry! I have insomnia, and carbs help me to sleep.
I'll buy you more bagels.
No! You can't buy bagels in the jungle! You guys are so normal right now.
You're not being all awkward and silent.
It's like being home with a normal brother and sister, except when they're not having sex with each other, so, like, a normal brother and sister.
Oh, this is good.
Everything's as it should be.
Oh, sorry.
I interrupted.
"Can't buy bagels in the jungle.
" Go.
Worst roommate ever.
Me? Me? I'm not the one who makes us live with a dirty ass little chicken! Oh, please! That chicken is ten times more hygienic than you'll ever be, and she has a name.
Her name is dinner! Hey, loca.
I've got somethin' for ya.
What now? Flowers? Chocolates? Just urine sample.
You, uh, left it in the ward.
Yeah.
See, um, I'm I'm done chasing you, making a fool out of myself.
I mean, what's the point? Now I know you love me, and I know you know I love you, so the only thing holding you back, far as I can tell, is fear, and all the gifts in South America won't fix that.
- And tell me, what am I so scared of? - Getting hurt again.
Right, because if a woman doesn't want to jump your bones, she's petrified.
Plastics, Minard, the church group's building a school in a remote village downriver.
Called in some scrapes and whatnot.
Nothing serious, but bring water.
It's a hike.
You know what's good on a hike? Carbs.
Ohh! I told you I would get you some more, - Okay? - Well, zabar's is about 3,000 miles that way! "Zabar's is about 3,000 miles that way!" Ugh! Everything's as it should be.
Right.
Stiff upper lip now.
Sir, I don't know how many times I can ask you to leave.
It's not okay for you to just - come in here and - Is there a problem, clark? Well, I'm just trying to explain to this man here that we normally let the doctors treat the patients.
And I'm trying to explain that just because I don't have that fancy plastic badge, it doesn't mean I'm not a doctor here.
Is that dental floss? Yep.
I use it all the time in the field to suture wounds.
That's a damn nifty trick.
Look at that.
It is.
Good as new.
Look, you can't just come in here and start You don't work here.
This isn't your clinic.
See, now that's where you're wrong.
Jonah Simpson! What the hell are you doing here? Hey, hey, hey! Benji boy! How are ya, mate? - I'm good.
- "Benji boy"? Thought you were in Ecuador.
Yeah, no.
I finished the relief effort last week.
Thought I'd swing over and - visit our little Clinic.
- Uh, guys, Jonah Simpson.
Don't hold the Aussie thing against him.
- He's all right.
- Oh, nice.
Oh, this is the Aussie you went to Med school with? Yeah.
He came down here with Abby and me.
- Hi.
- Laid the very foundations you're standing on.
I tried to convince him to stay on, but oh, but I don't like to be tied down.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bloke's been everywhere.
Has done everything.
He's treated amputees in Haiti, refugees in China.
Mate, you've done pretty damn well for yourself here.
Heard you built a fully functioning O.
R.
- Is that right? - Oh, yeah, we do all right.
We did a whipple last year, didn't we? Ever done a kidney swap? Well, I don't know if we're ready for a transplant just yet.
- I mean, maybe one day.
- How about today? Clinic's first kidney transplant.
What do you say, keeton, old boy? Wanna make some history? Had an O.
R.
scheduled last week, but they booted us at the last minute.
We won't get into a major hospital for months.
With diabetes and hypertension, he doesn't have months.
Kidney recipient's on antirejection meds.
Donor's his niece.
She's a match.
I've got 'em both set Uprea.
We don't even have a dialysis machine.
Yeah, if something goes wrong he's dead in a week anyway, doctors.
Ugh.
It's a risk.
You don't have to take it.
Of course not.
Benji, there's no pressure, mate But you remember what Abby said the first time we opened these doors? "Every day we have a chance to do something great here.
" Sentimental as any chick, but smart as a whip, that woman.
We're this man's last shot.
We can't turn him away.
Virgen MarÃa! Ten days cooped up here.
All right.
Before you leave enoxaparin.
Prevents blood clots from the Lupus.
- Got it.
- Now say what you need to say, and, uh, then we can go.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Ay, Bolo! That's it? - That's all you have to say to this gorgeous doctora? - Mamá.
Who has sturdy hips, and I heard she can cook? The nurses talk.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure they were talking - about someone else.
- And you you have nothing to say to my handsome soon-to-be lawyer son who has big músculos Okay, mamá.
That's enough.
Es tu vida.
It's not my problem if you want to waste it.
Quite the matchmaker, your madre.
Oh, well, she just really likes you, and she doesn't understand why we're not still I keep telling her there's a little problem called the Coca leaf.
Right.
That tiny, internationally banned narcotic.
I told her that ship has sailed, but Hey, we gave it a shot, right? We did.
Well, I'll stop by later in the week to check on her.
Thank you For everything.
His músculos aren't that big.
I've seen way bigger.
Well, I got something to cheer you up.
I'm fine.
I don't need anything to cheer me up.
Keeton's doing our first er kidney transplant, - and he wants you to scrub in.
- Except for that.
I put him to bed last night like always Then I find him this morning asleep on the front stoop like a stray cat, his leg twisted like a picarone.
How did you get outside, Domingo? - No sé.
- You don't know, papÃ? That's all he says these days.
It's like living with a parrot.
- Is it broken? - His artificial hip is dislocated, and I'm gonna have to pop it back in.
- It's just the two of you.
- I moved back in when my mother died.
I thought I'd teach him to cook and then be on my way.
That was 30 years ago, and he still can't boil an egg.
- Basta, papá! Stop scratching! - Matilda.
You're going to give yourself a rash! Matilda, can you please wait outside until I'm finished? Ayúdame, por favor! Pon Las manos asÃ.
Okay, Domingo.
Vamos a empezar.
I just have to get the femoral bone lined up with the hip socket.
- Where did you get those bruises? - No sé.
Domingo, you have bruises on your neck, - and they look like finger marks.
How did you get them? - No sé.
- Señor Perez, if someone is hurting you, I can help you.
- No sé.
Está bien.
Aah! Hey, I'm all for these church groups building schools and whatnot, but can't they bring their own band-aids? I'm getting tired of these million-mile hikes.
Just be grateful they're not high school kids.
If they're adults, they're being careful.
You sure about that? Oh.
It's Woodstock.
Reese, run Dylan's hammer back up to him, will ya? Dylan! You gotta stop dropping your hammer, man! Hey, uh, you sure you want so many people up there? - It doesn't look very safe.
- I think I got things under control.
- How can I, uh, help you folks? - Mina Minard.
This is Tommy Fuller.
We're doctors from the clinic.
Awesome.
Thanks for coming.
Uh, yeah, nothing serious.
Just some bumps and bruises mainly, uh, but we're getting a lot of 'em.
Uh, I'm foreman Pher.
Fur? Uh, it's short for Christopher.
Listen, Pher, there is a reason that you're getting all these injuries and it's - that this is a disaster.
- What are you talking about? You've got people using power tools without goggles, and you're not even wearing shoes.
That's crazy.
Carpenters who don't wear shoes I can think of one in particular.
Lived about 2,000 years ago.
Listen, you're not in Portland.
This is the third world.
- You could contract tetanus or - Went by the name of Jesus.
Is that guy drinking from the river? Poor kid's had the runs ever since we got here.
- I told him to hydrate! - The stream is full of parasites.
That's why he has the diarrhea.
So sort of a chicken and egg kind of thing.
Who knows what came first? No, we know! Parasites came first.
- The parasites always come first.
- Okay.
- That's how it works.
- So we're not professional builders.
We're volunteers, but what we lack in experience, we make up for in raw passion.
- Whoa.
Hey.
- We're just trying to make this crazy ass world a little bit better.
- Hey, everybody watch out! - Aah! So Dr.
Simpson said you're Eduardo's only family.
He had one sister my mother.
She died when I was a baby, so Eddie took me in, raised me as his own.
Tú eres bastante.
He says she's all the grief he needs, real daughter or not.
Has Dr.
Simpson explained the surgery? We're removing your left kidney today.
I know what I'm getting into, Doctora.
It's normal to be nervous, Ana.
What you're doing for your uncle is an amazing thing, but it's permanent, right? There's no going back.
When my uncle got sick, he didn't want me to donate.
I said, I'm cutting my stupid kidney out, whether he wants it or not.
This man gave me life when mine was all but over.
Hell if I'm not gonna do the same for him.
Well, he needs his rest, so you can start filling this out for him.
His name, date of birth, address Dr.
Simpson he had me do the forms already.
He said everything was all set.
Oh, I know.
It's just clinic policy.
Just write down what you know.
Maybe I am a little nervous.
What do you need? What don't I need? I'm out of sutures, kerlix and are you really splinting his leg with duct tape? We didn't pack for this kind of disaster.
- Hey, Mina Minard, you got a minute? - Do I have a minute? - Yeah.
- Yeah, maybe I would have a minute.
Maybe I would have one more piece of gauze to treat your crew if you didn't run The most irresponsible, incompetent, just airheaded, um are you okay? When the scaffolding fell, I I-I lost something.
What are those? I think they're my toes.
Oh, god.
Yeah.
Maybe Jesus did wear shoes.
Yeah.
Okay.
Ohh.
And donor kidney is out.
We're on our way, people.
Feels good being back in the saddle with you, mate.
When was the last time we cut together? Oh, it was a caiman attack.
Yeah, that riverboat driver almost lost his face.
You remember? How could I forget? This dumbass cowboy jumps the river, wrestles the thing off the guy.
Someone had to, mate.
You were back on the boat, crying like a baby.
- When was this? - Oh, it was years ago.
- In fact, we'd just put the last wall of the clinic up - mm-hmm.
And then Abby decides we need a damn - fountain out in front.
- There was no arguing with Abby.
She always knew what she wanted.
Yeah, well, her one mistake was marrying you, kiwi.
Ohh! Abby was his wife or is wife.
How's her condition these days? No change in her EEG For months.
Yeah, figured that was the case, seeing as you got the new girlfriend now.
Kidney looks good! All flushed.
You didn't want to scrub in? And have to listen to that bromance novel going on in there? "Hello, benji boy.
" "Throw another shrimp on the Barbie.
" "G'day, mate.
" "Cheerio, guv'nor.
" And why aren't you in there? He was clearly close with Abby.
And there it is.
I know Keeton still loves her.
I know that.
I just never felt like the other woman until today.
Hey, guys.
What's this? A case of elder abuse.
He's been in five times in the past year with a sprained wrist and a bruised shoulder.
I think it's the daughter.
She has zero patience with him.
Loca, loca.
Old people fall, all right? It's not our job to get all up in everybody's biz.
I should call Social Services.
Oh, funny thing they don't exist in the jungle.
- Now who's free to help me? - Heart condition.
Not it.
Ay! Don't worry.
I'm not gonna make any accusations.
- We're just gonna question them both separately.
- That's good.
Should use the advanced interrogation tactics.
Pressure and elevation's not working.
- His heart rate's up to 140.
- His blood's not clotting.
Are you taking any medication? I don't take Western pharmaceuticals Well, maybe he has a clotting disorder or something.
Just herbs Willow's bark for when I get headaches, - St.
John's wort when I'm sad, Ginkgo for libido.
- Yeah.
Those are all anticoagulants.
We have to use a tourniquet.
We're hours away from the clinic.
If we cut off circulation now, we won't be able to save the foot.
Well, if we don't, he's just gonna keep bleeding.
The scaffolding made a clean cut.
I'm not gonna let him lose his foot! I'm not gonna let him bleed out through his toes! Glue! C-construction glue.
We can temporarily reattach his toes and use them to stop the hemorrhaging till we get back to the clinic.
- Pullin' a Keeton.
- Sorry, guys.
I don't have glue.
It's a construction site.
How do you not have glue? Petroleum products feed the corporate beast.
- I was taking a stand.
- Are you kidding me right now?! Wait.
Um You hold this.
Apply pressure and don't let up, okay? You try to stop bleeding.
And you come with me.
Hey.
- Huh? - Is she single? Wh n-no, she's well, n Uh, no.
No.
Hey.
The surgery went great, Ana.
How are you feeling? Me duele.
Me duele.
Quiero irme a casa.
Llamen a mi madre para que me pueda ir.
She wants you to call her mom so she can go home.
- You sure that's what she said? - It is my first language.
I thought your mother died when you were a baby.
I no.
I never said that.
You said Eduardo was your mother's brother.
You told me he raised you.
I meant my father's brother.
That's what I meant.
I-I my English is not perfect.
Your English is perfect.
I asked you to fill out the information, and you only wrote down his first name.
What's his last name? I Ana, what's your uncle's last name? Where does he live? How old is he? He's not your uncle.
You said write what I know.
Why are you doing this? No one gives up a kidney How much is he paying you? A lot.
We have a successful transplant, people.
Hey! Zee once mentioned this medicinal tree sap.
It's, like, dragon's hair or dragon's breath.
Yeah.
Toe of frog.
Eye of newt.
I pretty much just sleep during all of Zee's lectures.
It's some kind of natural bandage that's got antibacterial and hemostatic properties.
We can use it to glue the toes back on, stop the bleeding.
This is the wrong kind of tree.
Oh, great.
We've only got 3 million more to check.
Yeah, well, I was all for the tourniquet.
You're the one that wanted to save his foot.
Well, how else was he gonna hacky sack? Seriously.
I mean, pher? Pher.
"Chris" is also an abbreviation of Christopher.
So is "Topher.
" "Toph" would even be acceptable, right? You know, Brenner's right.
It's not weird.
Not that weird between us.
Not like what we're doing here isn't weird, you know? Oh, it's just Hey! Uh, red sap.
I got red red sap.
Yeah! Uh, um dragon's blood.
Sangre de dragón.
That's what it is.
See, I wasn't that far off with eye of newt.
No.
Are you accusing me of hurting my own father? I'm not accusing you of anything.
I do everything for that man.
I peel his grapes so he can chew them.
I hang his shirts by the Jerusalem Thorn.
It cuts me to shreds, but he likes the scent on his collar, so I do it.
How do you explain the bruising? Or any of the other injuries that he's had? Caregiving can be a very stressful job, I know, and sometimes if we lose our temper Hold up a second.
Uh I just, uh, spoke to Domingo, and, uh, he's not being abused.
Of course he's not.
- Yeah, he's he's having sex.
- What? What? Yeah.
Look, the man's getting laid, loca.
Ohh.
I'm sorry.
Some things don't change.
Eh? I see you're still partial to celebrating with our friend Jack.
You're right.
You want a glass? I like it straight from the source.
Some things don't change.
Clark, you joining us? No, if I start drinking now, I won't make it back to work, - but, uh, you two go ahead.
- To Abby.
To those we love.
Dr.
Keeton, he's not her uncle.
They don't even know each other.
He's paying her.
And how long have you known these people? About a year.
They came into the local clinic in Guayaquil.
They were together.
I didn't suspect a thing.
What do we do now? - Nothing.
- Nothing! What can we do? We all got screwed, but it's done now.
I-I just transplanted a black market organ, all right?! We could all lose our licenses! They'll shut us down! Urine bag's empty.
The kidney's not functional.
Damn it! - What is happening to him? - PVCS on the heart monitor.
Santa MarÃa! He cannot die! I have not been paid! He's either clotted the renal artery or he's - rejecting the kidney.
- Well, rejection doesn't make sense.
The labs at the hospital in Guayaquil - showed compatibility.
- Either way, he needs dialysis.
- Well, that's not an option here.
Gurney! - You cannot let him die! Dr.
Simpson, please! You said this would work.
Calm down, Ana.
It's gonna be fine, okay? Okay, push calcium and bicarb.
We need to get him into surgery now.
What did she mean, "you said this would work"? They might not be a perfect match.
You said you did all the screening tests before you came.
I did, except the cytotoxic crossmatch.
I didn't have the time or the facility.
So you knew there was a chance - that he would reject the kidney? - A very small chance.
- But you knew! - Everyone knew.
Eduardo knew! The man had no other choice.
- He was willing to take the risk.
- But why would you? I don't have to explain myself to you.
The hell you don't! Okay, this is my Clinic And we did this thing in my O.
R.
! Jonah, I've known you for 20 years, mate.
You're a great doctor.
- Why would you - Because he's paying me 10,000 bucks! Okay? I brokered the damn deal.
Grow up, Benji boy.
Kidney looks mottled and cyanotic.
It's hyperacute rejection.
we've gotta get it out now.
If we can keep his potassium level down and get him to San Miguel For dialysis within hours, we may have a shot.
Metz.
Oh, watch it, mate.
You pop his artery, and we're screwed.
I think that train's already left the station.
Well, to be fair, the transplant itself was a success.
This kind of complication could happen anywhere.
Is that what you're telling yourself these days? Does it help you sleep at night? No hospital could - find him a match, Ben.
- He would've died anyway.
- Oh, at least you gave him a shot, right? - That's right.
- No, it's crap! Look, I don't know how long you've been an organ broker, but I don't run a chop shop here! I don't use people for parts.
Now if this man dies, it is not a complication.
It's murder, and it's on us.
V-Tach.
Potassium's rising.
I've lost the pulse.
Okay, bag on 15 liters.
Charge to 200.
Okay.
Clear.
Cheese and rice! You sure that red stuff's gonna hold? I mean, what if I want to go jogging? I mean, I don't jog, but if I wanted Pher, we're not actually reattaching your toes.
We're just using them as a sterile dressing - until we get you back to the Clinic.
- I'm afraid those toes have seen the last of their outdoor music festivals.
How did you know that was my thing, Mina Minard? Just a hunch.
Okay, Pher.
Last one.
Do you worst.
I can take it.
Oh, crap.
Cheese and rice! I was wrong, completely outof line, and you have e She's my age the neighbor he is sneaking out to see in the middle of the night.
Meanwhile, I am home changing his bedpan like a tonta! You're just trying to be a good daughter.
I had someone, too Once Maybe 30 years ago.
He worked at the bakery.
I would go pick up papá's cassava.
And he would ask me on a date, every week like clockwork.
Fool was a dog with a bone.
I know someone like that.
He says, "come dance with me.
" I say, "I can't leave papá alone all night.
" Then he says, "come sail with me.
" I say, "if I drown, papá drown, too.
" Then he says, he knows a waterfall A beautiful place to jump.
And you blamed that one on papá? No, this time I say, "are you crazy?" Okay.
"I'm not jumping off a waterfall.
" And the next time? There was no next time.
He stopped asking.
I stopped going.
But why? I can't remember anymore But I'm sure it was a good reason.
Doesn't feel good, being right.
No, it doesn't.
Dr.
Keeton, you can't.
- He's been gone - Give me 360 again.
- Stop this now.
- Just give me 360.
Charged.
Clear.
How long? He's been gone for 58 minutes.
If we, uh If we report this, they'll come after all of us.
Benji.
Benji.
Don't call me that.
Time of death 5:28.
He did not make it, did he? The kidney wasn't an exact match.
You think I'm a bad person? No, I I don't think that.
My madre and me we already sold everhing else our jewelry, our bed.
Dr.
Simpson he came to the barrio.
He said "Pero se puede vivir sin un kidney.
" You can live without a kidney.
Yeah, you can do th but you shouldn't have to for money.
It's illegal, what he did, not to mention unsafe.
He shouldn't have taken advantage of you.
No, I took advantage! Down here, we don't get a lot of chances, so if someone offers you a shot to start over, if you don't take it, then you're the victim.
I'm sorry that rich man died, but I am not sorry for what I did.
I am not sorry I took my shot.
Your wound looks good.
You're gonna be fine.
You give your patients in America money from your wallet? I've done a lot of things down here I thought I'd never do.
All right, just a couple more stitches, and you should be good to go.
It's not my most cosmetic work.
I like it.
It's like my foot's saying, "hang loose.
" Hang loose, Mina Minard.
Yeah.
Thanks.
Your, uh, balance and gait should be fine.
It's my it's my ax.
I had one of my workers bring it over.
Mm.
I Am gonna write you a song.
Oh, that's not necessary.
Well, you saved my life today, Mina Minard.
Yeah, I kinda helped with that, too.
and I can't pay you 'cause I'm kinda broke.
- Free clinic, so - Mina Minard Let's see.
Mina Minard - I met a Minard named Mina Minard - Please don't.
she glued on my toes her boyfriend sewed 'em closed He's not my boyfriend.
he said he was if he's not maybe you'll be free tonight to dance with the moonlight So you said that you were my boyfriend? No, I said that you were not single, okay? And you can't dance with the moonlight, dude.
maybe we start simple and meet for a drink at midnight cantina closes at midnight - I am single! - I know, but it's not like you're gonna date this dude, okay, so I was just doing you a favor.
I only said midnight because it rhymed with moonlig Eleven is all right, too.
oh, Mina - Why can't I date him? - 'Cause he's just not right for you.
Who is, then? I don't know.
You? Because we had sex once? No.
No, I that I don't know.
Maybe.
Wh-why? Is that so crazy? - You're jealous? - No! - You're jealous! - Unh-unh.
- I thought that we were back to normal.
- We are.
No.
No! This is not normal.
Kinda.
Mina Minard Minard! Where are you going?! Oh, oh, Mina Think she liked my song? This is curcuma for your bruises.
They should fade in a week, but can you please try to be more careful with your amiga? No more sneaking out of the house through windows.
He will not need to do that anymore.
Dr.
Alvarez, this is LucÃa, our very friendly neighbor.
She will need to know how to take care of papá his medications, his rash creams, how to have sex with him without killing him.
Ay, dios mÃo.
I didn't mean to lie.
I thought you would be upset.
You were so close to mamá.
Mamá has been gone for 30 years, papá.
She would want you to be happy.
So do I.
So I am going to Rio.
I have always wanted to live by the beach.
Keys to his house.
The doorknob sticks.
You're abandoning me, hija? I am forgiving you, papá.
I just need a little time for myself to do it.
You said you didn't jump.
Hey, Lily, do you have a few minutes? Uh, I just got paged.
Mateo's mother's out of breath.
I'm worried she might have thrown a clot, so I'm gonna make a house call.
Oh, sexy farmer's back in the picture not.
- Kinda bumming about that? - God, I'm fine.
Why does everyone keep asking me that? - Sorry.
- What do you want? Uh, I just wanted to talk about something, but we can we can do it later.
You sure? Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
I-it's Minard! It's Minard.
You remember that guy in college with the dirty feet and played guitar, and all the girls went bananas over him, and you just could not understand why? No? It's like that song, okay "you don't know what you got till it's gone.
" Well, in this case, it's more like, "you don't know what you could've had until you had drunken mistake sex in a pile of plants.
" Fuller, I really have to go.
I don't want her dating this guy, okay? I don't want her dating any guy.
I want her dating me, I think.
So? Isn't now the time where you turn into practical Brenner, and you explain to me all the reasons why making a move on Minard would just be so utterly idiotic - Do it.
- What? Yeah.
Make your move.
Take your shot.
We don't get that many.
I didn't call the authorities, if that's why you're worried.
Far as I'm concerned, it never happened.
I appreciate it.
It's not for you.
It's for the Clinic.
Yeah, they'd shut us down.
You I'd throw to the wolves, if I could.
You know, I'm not so bad really, Ben.
I meet people who need help, and I help them.
All right.
It's that simple.
My first was a lawyer in Belize whose liver was shot, and no one would give him one, 'cause he couldn't give up the booze.
What, did you shoot a homeless person for it? I found a guy out of work for years.
I took a piece of his liver, and now he provides for his family.
Okay? It's win-win.
I go to local clinics, look up blood types, see who's willing.
Look at you.
You used to - call yourself a humanitarian.
- I still do, Ben.
The money I make funds aid all over the world.
You know, Clark needs a new heart.
She's on the bottom of the list in New York.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Really? It's people like you that screw people like her.
She's doing the right thing.
- She's waiting.
- She's hoping for a miracle.
Oh, while you're off selling to the highest bidder.
'Cause there's a lot more of those than there are miracles! You know what, mate? We're all selfish bastards here, aren't we? I mean, look at you.
You got a wife in a coma, girlfriend on the side.
All right.
Don't talk about Abby.
Does she still have that pesky trust? When she dies, the money goes - back to her family, right? - Shut the hell up.
You are still using her to fund the place.
Wow.
- Mate, pot, meet kettle.
- I said, "shut up!" Here's what I don't get, right? You say Abby was a woman who knew what she wanted, so you've gotta know you have to know there's nothing she would hate more than where she is right now hooked up to machines, feeding tubes.
How do you get off taking one of the most talented, beautiful doctors and use her as a bloody ATM! 100 pesos to bet.
No win on a draw.
Charlie, what are you doing Cole! What are you Cole! Hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Enough! Ben! You've been working out, mate.
Get outta here.
She was fine all day, and then suddenly Normal heart rate and pulse ox.
Looks like a false alarm.
Ay! Ay.
It could happen again.
Maybe you should stay.
You know, just to be sure.
Forget the Lupus, woman.
I'm gonna kill you myself.
Well, she can't go home hungry.
Mamá.
Pachamanca it's a traditional Peruvian stew baked underground with hot rocks to allow the flavor of the earth to remain with the food.
I hope you didn't go to too much trouble.
This is Just something I whip up.
Dig a pit, heat the river rocks, bury the meats and vegetables, then cover the whole thing with the rocks and cook for many hours, while my hands burn and my eyes tear up from the heat and the onions.
No trouble at all.
So take your time.
And, uh, enjoy.
- Did she really cook it underground? - Culturally we like to make things very difficult for ourselves.
Yeah, well, see, we're the opposit in Minnesota, this would be called a casserole, and it would be made from canned soup and frozen vegetables.
I'm sorry.
Uh She's just never really been a subtle woman.
She likes to give a hint what was that? Me taking it.
Yeah, no.
If you sing another song about me, I will leave.
That's cool.
Uh, two more of these, barkeep.
Why are your hands all dirty? Oh.
I went down to the river, buried my toes.
Felt like I should say good-bye.
Although I think a squirrel ate one of 'em.
It's the circle of life and all that.
I know I am a joke to you.
I am to most people.
I'm weird, but I'm cool with that, so Well, I'm not in a position to throw stones about being weird, and I-I don't think that you're a joke.
Your boyfriend does.
Ohh! He's not my I think he wants to be.
Well, that's not gonna happen.
He's, I mean, my best friend.
I'm not ruin that by Let's have another.
Mm.
Okay.
Mm.
This would really be so much easier for me if I could just call you Chris.
Mm.
No can do, Mina Minard.
Cheers.
A toes-t.
These are all safe sexual positions that won't aggravate the hip joint.
You would lie here, and LucÃa would lie there.
Is that the man or the woman? I don't know.
The print is so small.
All right.
Señor, I'm the artificial hip in this dance.
And Dr.
Alvarez here is the lovely LucÃa.
Uh ¿En serio? SÃ.
Now she is going to lie back like so One leg straight, the other bent, so that you can slide into place and she can wrap her leg securely around you.
Qué humillante.
Mm.
Uh, Domingo, your legs can be straight or bent, but no more than 90 degrees, so as not to strain your acetabulum.
That's one down.
Only ten more fine positions to go.
- What the hell got into you? - I'm jumping, lindo.
I'm jumping.
- Hell, yeah, you are.
- Ohh! I know he was your friend.
I'm sorry.
Yeah.
He was right about one thing, though.
What I'm doing with Abby With you It's okay no.
It's not.
It's not fair on you.
It's not what she would want.
She'd want me to let her go But I can't.
This may hurt a little.
Hey! Minard! Hey! I got bagels! Not bagels, but next best thing doughnuts.
Actually they're not even doughnuts.
They're some fried Latin thing that Charlie says is edible, so I figured Awesome, man.
I'm starved.
Uh, you're getting your dressing all wet.
Uh, actually, um, I wrapped it in plastic, so we're good.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, we're good.
Dr.
Brenner, this is my son Mateo.
You're going to make house calls to our farm, where we grow I know what you grow, but I get it.
I get it now.
- Gracias.
- De nada.
We had sex.
You're my home.
And I'm really scared that we screwed that up.
Yeah.
Benshe not a patient.
She's my wife.
She's been gone for five years, and I've still got her hooked up to machines.
You see that.
Aah! What is the big deal?! Because it was my care package! A dozen bagels my mother had shipped from New York City, - and you ate all of them?! - I'm sorry! I have insomnia, and carbs help me to sleep.
I'll buy you more bagels.
No! You can't buy bagels in the jungle! You guys are so normal right now.
You're not being all awkward and silent.
It's like being home with a normal brother and sister, except when they're not having sex with each other, so, like, a normal brother and sister.
Oh, this is good.
Everything's as it should be.
Oh, sorry.
I interrupted.
"Can't buy bagels in the jungle.
" Go.
Worst roommate ever.
Me? Me? I'm not the one who makes us live with a dirty ass little chicken! Oh, please! That chicken is ten times more hygienic than you'll ever be, and she has a name.
Her name is dinner! Hey, loca.
I've got somethin' for ya.
What now? Flowers? Chocolates? Just urine sample.
You, uh, left it in the ward.
Yeah.
See, um, I'm I'm done chasing you, making a fool out of myself.
I mean, what's the point? Now I know you love me, and I know you know I love you, so the only thing holding you back, far as I can tell, is fear, and all the gifts in South America won't fix that.
- And tell me, what am I so scared of? - Getting hurt again.
Right, because if a woman doesn't want to jump your bones, she's petrified.
Plastics, Minard, the church group's building a school in a remote village downriver.
Called in some scrapes and whatnot.
Nothing serious, but bring water.
It's a hike.
You know what's good on a hike? Carbs.
Ohh! I told you I would get you some more, - Okay? - Well, zabar's is about 3,000 miles that way! "Zabar's is about 3,000 miles that way!" Ugh! Everything's as it should be.
Right.
Stiff upper lip now.
Sir, I don't know how many times I can ask you to leave.
It's not okay for you to just - come in here and - Is there a problem, clark? Well, I'm just trying to explain to this man here that we normally let the doctors treat the patients.
And I'm trying to explain that just because I don't have that fancy plastic badge, it doesn't mean I'm not a doctor here.
Is that dental floss? Yep.
I use it all the time in the field to suture wounds.
That's a damn nifty trick.
Look at that.
It is.
Good as new.
Look, you can't just come in here and start You don't work here.
This isn't your clinic.
See, now that's where you're wrong.
Jonah Simpson! What the hell are you doing here? Hey, hey, hey! Benji boy! How are ya, mate? - I'm good.
- "Benji boy"? Thought you were in Ecuador.
Yeah, no.
I finished the relief effort last week.
Thought I'd swing over and - visit our little Clinic.
- Uh, guys, Jonah Simpson.
Don't hold the Aussie thing against him.
- He's all right.
- Oh, nice.
Oh, this is the Aussie you went to Med school with? Yeah.
He came down here with Abby and me.
- Hi.
- Laid the very foundations you're standing on.
I tried to convince him to stay on, but oh, but I don't like to be tied down.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bloke's been everywhere.
Has done everything.
He's treated amputees in Haiti, refugees in China.
Mate, you've done pretty damn well for yourself here.
Heard you built a fully functioning O.
R.
- Is that right? - Oh, yeah, we do all right.
We did a whipple last year, didn't we? Ever done a kidney swap? Well, I don't know if we're ready for a transplant just yet.
- I mean, maybe one day.
- How about today? Clinic's first kidney transplant.
What do you say, keeton, old boy? Wanna make some history? Had an O.
R.
scheduled last week, but they booted us at the last minute.
We won't get into a major hospital for months.
With diabetes and hypertension, he doesn't have months.
Kidney recipient's on antirejection meds.
Donor's his niece.
She's a match.
I've got 'em both set Uprea.
We don't even have a dialysis machine.
Yeah, if something goes wrong he's dead in a week anyway, doctors.
Ugh.
It's a risk.
You don't have to take it.
Of course not.
Benji, there's no pressure, mate But you remember what Abby said the first time we opened these doors? "Every day we have a chance to do something great here.
" Sentimental as any chick, but smart as a whip, that woman.
We're this man's last shot.
We can't turn him away.
Virgen MarÃa! Ten days cooped up here.
All right.
Before you leave enoxaparin.
Prevents blood clots from the Lupus.
- Got it.
- Now say what you need to say, and, uh, then we can go.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Ay, Bolo! That's it? - That's all you have to say to this gorgeous doctora? - Mamá.
Who has sturdy hips, and I heard she can cook? The nurses talk.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure they were talking - about someone else.
- And you you have nothing to say to my handsome soon-to-be lawyer son who has big músculos Okay, mamá.
That's enough.
Es tu vida.
It's not my problem if you want to waste it.
Quite the matchmaker, your madre.
Oh, well, she just really likes you, and she doesn't understand why we're not still I keep telling her there's a little problem called the Coca leaf.
Right.
That tiny, internationally banned narcotic.
I told her that ship has sailed, but Hey, we gave it a shot, right? We did.
Well, I'll stop by later in the week to check on her.
Thank you For everything.
His músculos aren't that big.
I've seen way bigger.
Well, I got something to cheer you up.
I'm fine.
I don't need anything to cheer me up.
Keeton's doing our first er kidney transplant, - and he wants you to scrub in.
- Except for that.
I put him to bed last night like always Then I find him this morning asleep on the front stoop like a stray cat, his leg twisted like a picarone.
How did you get outside, Domingo? - No sé.
- You don't know, papÃ? That's all he says these days.
It's like living with a parrot.
- Is it broken? - His artificial hip is dislocated, and I'm gonna have to pop it back in.
- It's just the two of you.
- I moved back in when my mother died.
I thought I'd teach him to cook and then be on my way.
That was 30 years ago, and he still can't boil an egg.
- Basta, papá! Stop scratching! - Matilda.
You're going to give yourself a rash! Matilda, can you please wait outside until I'm finished? Ayúdame, por favor! Pon Las manos asÃ.
Okay, Domingo.
Vamos a empezar.
I just have to get the femoral bone lined up with the hip socket.
- Where did you get those bruises? - No sé.
Domingo, you have bruises on your neck, - and they look like finger marks.
How did you get them? - No sé.
- Señor Perez, if someone is hurting you, I can help you.
- No sé.
Está bien.
Aah! Hey, I'm all for these church groups building schools and whatnot, but can't they bring their own band-aids? I'm getting tired of these million-mile hikes.
Just be grateful they're not high school kids.
If they're adults, they're being careful.
You sure about that? Oh.
It's Woodstock.
Reese, run Dylan's hammer back up to him, will ya? Dylan! You gotta stop dropping your hammer, man! Hey, uh, you sure you want so many people up there? - It doesn't look very safe.
- I think I got things under control.
- How can I, uh, help you folks? - Mina Minard.
This is Tommy Fuller.
We're doctors from the clinic.
Awesome.
Thanks for coming.
Uh, yeah, nothing serious.
Just some bumps and bruises mainly, uh, but we're getting a lot of 'em.
Uh, I'm foreman Pher.
Fur? Uh, it's short for Christopher.
Listen, Pher, there is a reason that you're getting all these injuries and it's - that this is a disaster.
- What are you talking about? You've got people using power tools without goggles, and you're not even wearing shoes.
That's crazy.
Carpenters who don't wear shoes I can think of one in particular.
Lived about 2,000 years ago.
Listen, you're not in Portland.
This is the third world.
- You could contract tetanus or - Went by the name of Jesus.
Is that guy drinking from the river? Poor kid's had the runs ever since we got here.
- I told him to hydrate! - The stream is full of parasites.
That's why he has the diarrhea.
So sort of a chicken and egg kind of thing.
Who knows what came first? No, we know! Parasites came first.
- The parasites always come first.
- Okay.
- That's how it works.
- So we're not professional builders.
We're volunteers, but what we lack in experience, we make up for in raw passion.
- Whoa.
Hey.
- We're just trying to make this crazy ass world a little bit better.
- Hey, everybody watch out! - Aah! So Dr.
Simpson said you're Eduardo's only family.
He had one sister my mother.
She died when I was a baby, so Eddie took me in, raised me as his own.
Tú eres bastante.
He says she's all the grief he needs, real daughter or not.
Has Dr.
Simpson explained the surgery? We're removing your left kidney today.
I know what I'm getting into, Doctora.
It's normal to be nervous, Ana.
What you're doing for your uncle is an amazing thing, but it's permanent, right? There's no going back.
When my uncle got sick, he didn't want me to donate.
I said, I'm cutting my stupid kidney out, whether he wants it or not.
This man gave me life when mine was all but over.
Hell if I'm not gonna do the same for him.
Well, he needs his rest, so you can start filling this out for him.
His name, date of birth, address Dr.
Simpson he had me do the forms already.
He said everything was all set.
Oh, I know.
It's just clinic policy.
Just write down what you know.
Maybe I am a little nervous.
What do you need? What don't I need? I'm out of sutures, kerlix and are you really splinting his leg with duct tape? We didn't pack for this kind of disaster.
- Hey, Mina Minard, you got a minute? - Do I have a minute? - Yeah.
- Yeah, maybe I would have a minute.
Maybe I would have one more piece of gauze to treat your crew if you didn't run The most irresponsible, incompetent, just airheaded, um are you okay? When the scaffolding fell, I I-I lost something.
What are those? I think they're my toes.
Oh, god.
Yeah.
Maybe Jesus did wear shoes.
Yeah.
Okay.
Ohh.
And donor kidney is out.
We're on our way, people.
Feels good being back in the saddle with you, mate.
When was the last time we cut together? Oh, it was a caiman attack.
Yeah, that riverboat driver almost lost his face.
You remember? How could I forget? This dumbass cowboy jumps the river, wrestles the thing off the guy.
Someone had to, mate.
You were back on the boat, crying like a baby.
- When was this? - Oh, it was years ago.
- In fact, we'd just put the last wall of the clinic up - mm-hmm.
And then Abby decides we need a damn - fountain out in front.
- There was no arguing with Abby.
She always knew what she wanted.
Yeah, well, her one mistake was marrying you, kiwi.
Ohh! Abby was his wife or is wife.
How's her condition these days? No change in her EEG For months.
Yeah, figured that was the case, seeing as you got the new girlfriend now.
Kidney looks good! All flushed.
You didn't want to scrub in? And have to listen to that bromance novel going on in there? "Hello, benji boy.
" "Throw another shrimp on the Barbie.
" "G'day, mate.
" "Cheerio, guv'nor.
" And why aren't you in there? He was clearly close with Abby.
And there it is.
I know Keeton still loves her.
I know that.
I just never felt like the other woman until today.
Hey, guys.
What's this? A case of elder abuse.
He's been in five times in the past year with a sprained wrist and a bruised shoulder.
I think it's the daughter.
She has zero patience with him.
Loca, loca.
Old people fall, all right? It's not our job to get all up in everybody's biz.
I should call Social Services.
Oh, funny thing they don't exist in the jungle.
- Now who's free to help me? - Heart condition.
Not it.
Ay! Don't worry.
I'm not gonna make any accusations.
- We're just gonna question them both separately.
- That's good.
Should use the advanced interrogation tactics.
Pressure and elevation's not working.
- His heart rate's up to 140.
- His blood's not clotting.
Are you taking any medication? I don't take Western pharmaceuticals Well, maybe he has a clotting disorder or something.
Just herbs Willow's bark for when I get headaches, - St.
John's wort when I'm sad, Ginkgo for libido.
- Yeah.
Those are all anticoagulants.
We have to use a tourniquet.
We're hours away from the clinic.
If we cut off circulation now, we won't be able to save the foot.
Well, if we don't, he's just gonna keep bleeding.
The scaffolding made a clean cut.
I'm not gonna let him lose his foot! I'm not gonna let him bleed out through his toes! Glue! C-construction glue.
We can temporarily reattach his toes and use them to stop the hemorrhaging till we get back to the clinic.
- Pullin' a Keeton.
- Sorry, guys.
I don't have glue.
It's a construction site.
How do you not have glue? Petroleum products feed the corporate beast.
- I was taking a stand.
- Are you kidding me right now?! Wait.
Um You hold this.
Apply pressure and don't let up, okay? You try to stop bleeding.
And you come with me.
Hey.
- Huh? - Is she single? Wh n-no, she's well, n Uh, no.
No.
Hey.
The surgery went great, Ana.
How are you feeling? Me duele.
Me duele.
Quiero irme a casa.
Llamen a mi madre para que me pueda ir.
She wants you to call her mom so she can go home.
- You sure that's what she said? - It is my first language.
I thought your mother died when you were a baby.
I no.
I never said that.
You said Eduardo was your mother's brother.
You told me he raised you.
I meant my father's brother.
That's what I meant.
I-I my English is not perfect.
Your English is perfect.
I asked you to fill out the information, and you only wrote down his first name.
What's his last name? I Ana, what's your uncle's last name? Where does he live? How old is he? He's not your uncle.
You said write what I know.
Why are you doing this? No one gives up a kidney How much is he paying you? A lot.
We have a successful transplant, people.
Hey! Zee once mentioned this medicinal tree sap.
It's, like, dragon's hair or dragon's breath.
Yeah.
Toe of frog.
Eye of newt.
I pretty much just sleep during all of Zee's lectures.
It's some kind of natural bandage that's got antibacterial and hemostatic properties.
We can use it to glue the toes back on, stop the bleeding.
This is the wrong kind of tree.
Oh, great.
We've only got 3 million more to check.
Yeah, well, I was all for the tourniquet.
You're the one that wanted to save his foot.
Well, how else was he gonna hacky sack? Seriously.
I mean, pher? Pher.
"Chris" is also an abbreviation of Christopher.
So is "Topher.
" "Toph" would even be acceptable, right? You know, Brenner's right.
It's not weird.
Not that weird between us.
Not like what we're doing here isn't weird, you know? Oh, it's just Hey! Uh, red sap.
I got red red sap.
Yeah! Uh, um dragon's blood.
Sangre de dragón.
That's what it is.
See, I wasn't that far off with eye of newt.
No.
Are you accusing me of hurting my own father? I'm not accusing you of anything.
I do everything for that man.
I peel his grapes so he can chew them.
I hang his shirts by the Jerusalem Thorn.
It cuts me to shreds, but he likes the scent on his collar, so I do it.
How do you explain the bruising? Or any of the other injuries that he's had? Caregiving can be a very stressful job, I know, and sometimes if we lose our temper Hold up a second.
Uh I just, uh, spoke to Domingo, and, uh, he's not being abused.
Of course he's not.
- Yeah, he's he's having sex.
- What? What? Yeah.
Look, the man's getting laid, loca.
Ohh.
I'm sorry.
Some things don't change.
Eh? I see you're still partial to celebrating with our friend Jack.
You're right.
You want a glass? I like it straight from the source.
Some things don't change.
Clark, you joining us? No, if I start drinking now, I won't make it back to work, - but, uh, you two go ahead.
- To Abby.
To those we love.
Dr.
Keeton, he's not her uncle.
They don't even know each other.
He's paying her.
And how long have you known these people? About a year.
They came into the local clinic in Guayaquil.
They were together.
I didn't suspect a thing.
What do we do now? - Nothing.
- Nothing! What can we do? We all got screwed, but it's done now.
I-I just transplanted a black market organ, all right?! We could all lose our licenses! They'll shut us down! Urine bag's empty.
The kidney's not functional.
Damn it! - What is happening to him? - PVCS on the heart monitor.
Santa MarÃa! He cannot die! I have not been paid! He's either clotted the renal artery or he's - rejecting the kidney.
- Well, rejection doesn't make sense.
The labs at the hospital in Guayaquil - showed compatibility.
- Either way, he needs dialysis.
- Well, that's not an option here.
Gurney! - You cannot let him die! Dr.
Simpson, please! You said this would work.
Calm down, Ana.
It's gonna be fine, okay? Okay, push calcium and bicarb.
We need to get him into surgery now.
What did she mean, "you said this would work"? They might not be a perfect match.
You said you did all the screening tests before you came.
I did, except the cytotoxic crossmatch.
I didn't have the time or the facility.
So you knew there was a chance - that he would reject the kidney? - A very small chance.
- But you knew! - Everyone knew.
Eduardo knew! The man had no other choice.
- He was willing to take the risk.
- But why would you? I don't have to explain myself to you.
The hell you don't! Okay, this is my Clinic And we did this thing in my O.
R.
! Jonah, I've known you for 20 years, mate.
You're a great doctor.
- Why would you - Because he's paying me 10,000 bucks! Okay? I brokered the damn deal.
Grow up, Benji boy.
Kidney looks mottled and cyanotic.
It's hyperacute rejection.
we've gotta get it out now.
If we can keep his potassium level down and get him to San Miguel For dialysis within hours, we may have a shot.
Metz.
Oh, watch it, mate.
You pop his artery, and we're screwed.
I think that train's already left the station.
Well, to be fair, the transplant itself was a success.
This kind of complication could happen anywhere.
Is that what you're telling yourself these days? Does it help you sleep at night? No hospital could - find him a match, Ben.
- He would've died anyway.
- Oh, at least you gave him a shot, right? - That's right.
- No, it's crap! Look, I don't know how long you've been an organ broker, but I don't run a chop shop here! I don't use people for parts.
Now if this man dies, it is not a complication.
It's murder, and it's on us.
V-Tach.
Potassium's rising.
I've lost the pulse.
Okay, bag on 15 liters.
Charge to 200.
Okay.
Clear.
Cheese and rice! You sure that red stuff's gonna hold? I mean, what if I want to go jogging? I mean, I don't jog, but if I wanted Pher, we're not actually reattaching your toes.
We're just using them as a sterile dressing - until we get you back to the Clinic.
- I'm afraid those toes have seen the last of their outdoor music festivals.
How did you know that was my thing, Mina Minard? Just a hunch.
Okay, Pher.
Last one.
Do you worst.
I can take it.
Oh, crap.
Cheese and rice! I was wrong, completely outof line, and you have e She's my age the neighbor he is sneaking out to see in the middle of the night.
Meanwhile, I am home changing his bedpan like a tonta! You're just trying to be a good daughter.
I had someone, too Once Maybe 30 years ago.
He worked at the bakery.
I would go pick up papá's cassava.
And he would ask me on a date, every week like clockwork.
Fool was a dog with a bone.
I know someone like that.
He says, "come dance with me.
" I say, "I can't leave papá alone all night.
" Then he says, "come sail with me.
" I say, "if I drown, papá drown, too.
" Then he says, he knows a waterfall A beautiful place to jump.
And you blamed that one on papá? No, this time I say, "are you crazy?" Okay.
"I'm not jumping off a waterfall.
" And the next time? There was no next time.
He stopped asking.
I stopped going.
But why? I can't remember anymore But I'm sure it was a good reason.
Doesn't feel good, being right.
No, it doesn't.
Dr.
Keeton, you can't.
- He's been gone - Give me 360 again.
- Stop this now.
- Just give me 360.
Charged.
Clear.
How long? He's been gone for 58 minutes.
If we, uh If we report this, they'll come after all of us.
Benji.
Benji.
Don't call me that.
Time of death 5:28.
He did not make it, did he? The kidney wasn't an exact match.
You think I'm a bad person? No, I I don't think that.
My madre and me we already sold everhing else our jewelry, our bed.
Dr.
Simpson he came to the barrio.
He said "Pero se puede vivir sin un kidney.
" You can live without a kidney.
Yeah, you can do th but you shouldn't have to for money.
It's illegal, what he did, not to mention unsafe.
He shouldn't have taken advantage of you.
No, I took advantage! Down here, we don't get a lot of chances, so if someone offers you a shot to start over, if you don't take it, then you're the victim.
I'm sorry that rich man died, but I am not sorry for what I did.
I am not sorry I took my shot.
Your wound looks good.
You're gonna be fine.
You give your patients in America money from your wallet? I've done a lot of things down here I thought I'd never do.
All right, just a couple more stitches, and you should be good to go.

maybe we start simple and meet for a drink at midnight cantina closes at midnight - I am single! - I know, but it's not like you're gonna date this dude, okay, so I was just doing you a favor.
I only said midnight because it rhymed with moonlig Eleven is all right, too.

Who is, then? I don't know.
You? Because we had sex once? No.

Kinda.
Mina Minard Minard! Where are you going?! Oh, oh, Mina Think she liked my song? This is curcuma for your bruises.
They should fade in a week, but can you please try to be more careful with your amiga? No more sneaking out of the house through windows.
He will not need to do that anymore.
Dr.
Alvarez, this is LucÃa, our very friendly neighbor.
She will need to know how to take care of papá his medications, his rash creams, how to have sex with him without killing him.
Ay, dios mÃo.
I didn't mean to lie.
I thought you would be upset.
You were so close to mamá.
Mamá has been gone for 30 years, papá.
She would want you to be happy.
So do I.
So I am going to Rio.
I have always wanted to live by the beach.
Keys to his house.
The doorknob sticks.
You're abandoning me, hija? I am forgiving you, papá.
I just need a little time for myself to do it.
You said you didn't jump.
Hey, Lily, do you have a few minutes? Uh, I just got paged.
Mateo's mother's out of breath.
I'm worried she might have thrown a clot, so I'm gonna make a house call.
Oh, sexy farmer's back in the picture not.
- Kinda bumming about that? - God, I'm fine.
Why does everyone keep asking me that? - Sorry.
- What do you want? Uh, I just wanted to talk about something, but we can we can do it later.
You sure? Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
I-it's Minard! It's Minard.
You remember that guy in college with the dirty feet and played guitar, and all the girls went bananas over him, and you just could not understand why? No? It's like that song, okay "you don't know what you got till it's gone.
" Well, in this case, it's more like, "you don't know what you could've had until you had drunken mistake sex in a pile of plants.
" Fuller, I really have to go.
I don't want her dating this guy, okay? I don't want her dating any guy.
I want her dating me, I think.
So? Isn't now the time where you turn into practical Brenner, and you explain to me all the reasons why making a move on Minard would just be so utterly idiotic - Do it.
- What? Yeah.
Make your move.
Take your shot.
We don't get that many.
I didn't call the authorities, if that's why you're worried.
Far as I'm concerned, it never happened.
I appreciate it.
It's not for you.
It's for the Clinic.
Yeah, they'd shut us down.
You I'd throw to the wolves, if I could.
You know, I'm not so bad really, Ben.
I meet people who need help, and I help them.
All right.
It's that simple.
My first was a lawyer in Belize whose liver was shot, and no one would give him one, 'cause he couldn't give up the booze.
What, did you shoot a homeless person for it? I found a guy out of work for years.
I took a piece of his liver, and now he provides for his family.
Okay? It's win-win.
I go to local clinics, look up blood types, see who's willing.
Look at you.
You used to - call yourself a humanitarian.
- I still do, Ben.
The money I make funds aid all over the world.
You know, Clark needs a new heart.
She's on the bottom of the list in New York.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Really? It's people like you that screw people like her.
She's doing the right thing.
- She's waiting.
- She's hoping for a miracle.
Oh, while you're off selling to the highest bidder.
'Cause there's a lot more of those than there are miracles! You know what, mate? We're all selfish bastards here, aren't we? I mean, look at you.
You got a wife in a coma, girlfriend on the side.
All right.
Don't talk about Abby.
Does she still have that pesky trust? When she dies, the money goes - back to her family, right? - Shut the hell up.
You are still using her to fund the place.
Wow.
- Mate, pot, meet kettle.
- I said, "shut up!" Here's what I don't get, right? You say Abby was a woman who knew what she wanted, so you've gotta know you have to know there's nothing she would hate more than where she is right now hooked up to machines, feeding tubes.
How do you get off taking one of the most talented, beautiful doctors and use her as a bloody ATM! 100 pesos to bet.
No win on a draw.
Charlie, what are you doing Cole! What are you Cole! Hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Enough! Ben! You've been working out, mate.
Get outta here.
She was fine all day, and then suddenly Normal heart rate and pulse ox.
Looks like a false alarm.
Ay! Ay.
It could happen again.
Maybe you should stay.
You know, just to be sure.
Forget the Lupus, woman.
I'm gonna kill you myself.
Well, she can't go home hungry.
Mamá.
Pachamanca it's a traditional Peruvian stew baked underground with hot rocks to allow the flavor of the earth to remain with the food.
I hope you didn't go to too much trouble.
This is Just something I whip up.
Dig a pit, heat the river rocks, bury the meats and vegetables, then cover the whole thing with the rocks and cook for many hours, while my hands burn and my eyes tear up from the heat and the onions.
No trouble at all.
So take your time.
And, uh, enjoy.
- Did she really cook it underground? - Culturally we like to make things very difficult for ourselves.
Yeah, well, see, we're the opposit in Minnesota, this would be called a casserole, and it would be made from canned soup and frozen vegetables.
I'm sorry.
Uh She's just never really been a subtle woman.
She likes to give a hint what was that? Me taking it.
Yeah, no.
If you sing another song about me, I will leave.
That's cool.
Uh, two more of these, barkeep.
Why are your hands all dirty? Oh.
I went down to the river, buried my toes.
Felt like I should say good-bye.
Although I think a squirrel ate one of 'em.
It's the circle of life and all that.
I know I am a joke to you.
I am to most people.
I'm weird, but I'm cool with that, so Well, I'm not in a position to throw stones about being weird, and I-I don't think that you're a joke.
Your boyfriend does.
Ohh! He's not my I think he wants to be.
Well, that's not gonna happen.
He's, I mean, my best friend.
I'm not ruin that by Let's have another.
Mm.
Okay.
Mm.
This would really be so much easier for me if I could just call you Chris.
Mm.
No can do, Mina Minard.
Cheers.
A toes-t.
These are all safe sexual positions that won't aggravate the hip joint.
You would lie here, and LucÃa would lie there.
Is that the man or the woman? I don't know.
The print is so small.
All right.
Señor, I'm the artificial hip in this dance.
And Dr.
Alvarez here is the lovely LucÃa.
Uh ¿En serio? SÃ.
Now she is going to lie back like so One leg straight, the other bent, so that you can slide into place and she can wrap her leg securely around you.
Qué humillante.
Mm.
Uh, Domingo, your legs can be straight or bent, but no more than 90 degrees, so as not to strain your acetabulum.
That's one down.
Only ten more fine positions to go.
- What the hell got into you? - I'm jumping, lindo.
I'm jumping.
- Hell, yeah, you are.
- Ohh! I know he was your friend.
I'm sorry.
Yeah.
He was right about one thing, though.
What I'm doing with Abby With you It's okay no.
It's not.
It's not fair on you.
It's not what she would want.
She'd want me to let her go But I can't.
This may hurt a little.
Hey! Minard! Hey! I got bagels! Not bagels, but next best thing doughnuts.
Actually they're not even doughnuts.
They're some fried Latin thing that Charlie says is edible, so I figured Awesome, man.
I'm starved.
Uh, you're getting your dressing all wet.
Uh, actually, um, I wrapped it in plastic, so we're good.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, we're good.
