Spasticity
HANK: Last season on Royal Pains.
How about today' we save two for the price of one? ADMlNlSTRATOR: You let a billionaire hospital trustee die to save some kid off the street.
l made a judgment call.
You made a mistake.
EVAN: This trip is going to get you back on your feet.
HANK: What trip? EVAN: To the Hamptons.
Boris Kuester von Jurgens-Ratenicz.
Stay in my guest cottage for the summer.
Be my concierge doctor.
JlLL: Concierge doctor to the rich, and an on-call doctor to the rest of us.
A Robin Hood of medicine.
Jill Casey.
Hospital administrator.
So that happened.
ADAMS: You and I have been down this road before, Jill.
And which road is that' Dr.
Adams? The one with your personal life on one side' your professional life on the other.
Pick a lane, Ms.
Casey.
My ex was a local doctor' too.
So he's a doctor and l'm a doctor.
That doesn't make me him.
I'm Divya.
Divya Katdare.
l'd like to be your PA.
My PA.
Physician assistant.
Your mother hired me to help plan your engagement party.
Your what? DlVYA: You couldn't possibly understand my situation.
ls this an arranged marriage? What ifshe gets engaged and moves to London? What are we going to do? ls Boris sick? You can't let go of my hand' can you? No' l can't.
This thing you have' it's genetic.
And as you've so diligently discovered' Hank' quite fatal.
You've known your whole life.
How it would end? Yes.
My family medical history.
You don't want your dad to see how far you've come? We worshipped him.
But then when our mom got sick and we needed him most' he just walked out on us.
l don't give a damn what he thinks.
Apparently' the check you wrote them for our new portable EKG machine just bounced.
What's up? We're broke.
What do you mean' broke? We got scammed.
By who? I can't believe you didn't tell me that Dad took all our money.
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHlNG) Mr.
Kuester von Boris will do.
l'm short on time.
l'm Divya Katdare.
l work for Hank.
l know who you are' Miss Katdare.
And in a manner of speaking' Hank works for me.
So' l'm hoping at least one of us knows where he is.
l'm sure he's with a patient.
Well' we had an appointment Shall l grab a copy of Us Weekly and take a seat in the waiting room? l'll see if l can track him down.
Hank' Divya.
Again.
Where are you? (EXHALlNG) (CELL PHONE RlNGlNG) l can't seem to get a hold of you.
So' l'll cover the visit and try you again when l'm done.
DlVYA: Any other symptoms? Yeah' l've had' uh' pins and needles in my hands and arms.
Hmm.
What line of work are you in' Mr.
Fisher? l produce and star in a bunch of silly infomercials.
Have you been working very hard lately? Actually' l've been playing hooky.
My dad passed away recently and left me this house.
Well' my condolences.
Thank you.
lt's been a lot of work' sorting through everything and l have not been sleeping much lately.
Actually' that's a symptom' right? Not sleeping much lately? lf you want to put that down.
What do you think might be wrong? l think the sleeplessness is causing anxiety.
And l think anxiety is causing everything else.
l'm going to prescribe you a low dose of Ativan.
That should do the trick.
Great.
Okay.
Thank you.
Oh.
l was actually wondering Just out of curiosity.
ls there an actual Hank in HankMed? There is.
But he's Ah.
He's playing hooky' too.
(RlNGlNG) Hey.
You've reached Evan R.
Lawson, CFO of HankMed.
Please leave a message.
Thanks a lot.
(KNOCKlNG ON DOOR) Dad.
The first vacation he took us on was a 20 minute drive to New York City.
He called it the ''ultimate island getaway.
'' This is where we stayed.
And this is where you tried finding him a few years later' after he left on his permanent vacation.
lt's not so permanent anymore.
Dad's at the bank right now.
He's getting us our money.
Really? Yeah.
And how long ago did he leave? He left 20 minutes ago.
He left a couple of hours ago.
Okay? l woke up.
He'd left a note.
Look at that.
He stole your move.
(SCOFFS) Come on' Ev.
Let's go home.
You made a hell of a mess out there' and you can't clean it up from here.
No.
l'm not going home.
He's coming back this time.
l guarantee it.
How long have you been in touch with him? What? He's our father.
Despite my best efforts' it looks like there's still one sucker left in this family' ready to buy whatever Eddie R.
Lawson has to sell.
Last chance.
You coming or not? Okay.
(DOOR SLAMS SHUT) Have you seen a green folder? lt was right here on the counter.
You mean it disappeared? Without notifying you? Again' sorry about that.
lt's fine.
l was just worried about you guys.
Well' a little less about Evan.
Somewhere deep inside me (SlGHlNG) l probably knew he was sitting in a suite at the Waldorf.
(LAUGHS) Sorry.
l have not seen a green folder.
Okay.
Any chance you can help me decipher our CFO's balance sheet? How bad is it? lt is the accounting version of Pig Latin.
No' l meant financially.
Well Because we're net sixty and our vendors are net thirty' we depend on our reserves to stay in the black.
ln English? lf we don't find some fast cash soon' we are in trouble.
(SlGHlNG) Evan.
Don't blame him.
Blame me.
My paycheck bounced.
l blame him.
No' l let him put us in this position.
l should have known better.
But l guess family can cloud your judgment.
Tell me about it.
You want to talk about it? You mean about my party? About my involuntary engagement? About my impossibly complicated future? Yeah.
Not at all.
We have bigger fish to fry.
l.
e.
your rain check with your displeased patient/landlord.
SPENCER: Are you sick of trying to make drinks at home thatjust don't end up right? Ew.
Yuck.
Whenever I try to make drinks at home, the proportions are all wrong.
Well, not anymore.
(CELL PHONE RlNGlNG) (SlGHlNG) Well' tell me.
How does freedom taste? Freedom? Sorry to hear you had to leave before the actual ceremony.
I know.
Me, too.
Must have been something important.
lt was' uh lt was business.
And personal.
So, how did Raj handle being left at the altar? l really don't have time for chit-chat' Evan.
l can't interpret your kindergarten level handwriting' let alone your Byzantine system for insurance codes.
Whoa.
Don't get your scrubs in a bunch.
Everything's going to work out just fine.
You need to get back here and dig us out of the hole that you put us in.
And you need to do it now.
This is the worst possible time for you to throw into jeopardy the one thing that still makes any sense.
Oh' my God.
You went through with it.
Didn't you? You got engaged.
Div SPENCER: The Electronic Bartender is yours now forjust four easy payments of $19.
95.
(SPEAKlNG SPANlSH) ls there any language you don't speak fluently? Hank.
(SPEAKlNG SPANlSH) When you want to acquire exquisite Cuban roses' you have to go where they are and learn the language.
Well' you must have imported them before the '63 embargo.
You know your history.
What about my history? Uh' l haven't finished reviewing your file.
And not just because l lost it.
l had to deal with a family situation.
That's an explanation' but not an excuse.
You know' Hank' this is not a quid pro quo arrangement.
You're welcome to stay here as long as you like.
Thank you.
But perhaps l'd be better served by another physician.
One with fewer distractions.
Boris' you can trust me.
Yeah.
Unfortunately' l don't know who you can trust.
You don't have the file' Hank' because l have it.
l found it laying out in the guest quarters' like some coffee table accessory.
Your file wasn't read.
Your privacy wasn't violated.
And your trust wasn't broken.
l had a rough morning and missed an appointment.
And for that' l'm sorry.
Because quid pro quo or not' you deserve better from me.
(SlREN BLARlNG) NURSE: Thank you for your help' Dr.
Blair.
Uh' Jill? Can l speak to you' please? Hey' Liz.
Uh' what are you doing down here? Funny.
That was my question.
l guess we're both used to seeing the ER docs handle this kind of work.
Too bad you seem to be systematically terminating them' one by one.
That's rumor and exaggeration.
You didn't fire Dr.
Madden at the horse show? Oh' no' l did.
And before even replacing him' you didn't ax Dr.
Casey? Charlie said l fired him? Do you have a secret plan to start cutting back on patient emergencies' as well? Because if not' Jill' l see a serious math problem in our future.
(GASPlNG) Maybe we should discuss this later.
l understand that we've just received the latest Press Ganey scores.
Patient satisfaction up 10%.
Thanks to your efforts' l'm sure' to integrate the records systems and streamline the referral process.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
But l'm a highly-trained Gl surgeon' called down here to run errands far below my pay grade.
l'm also a member of the board' obligated to make sure that surgeons like me aren't wasting our time.
What are you saying? What l'm saying is that l'm really happy that the patients are so satisfied.
But the doctors aren't.
And that's a problem that you need to fix.
Quickly.
DlVYA: And given the projected income from this Hi' Dieter.
Bye' Dieter.
And given the projected income of this week's rather light schedule We'll be even worse off in seven days than we are now.
Sorry to paint such a rosy picture.
What are we going to do? You're going to do three things.
First' you're going to stop worrying about money' because that's my job.
Second' you're going to take a break and replenish your body's essential inventories of sugar and caffeine.
And third' you are going to join me on a little magic carpet ride l like to call the HankMed Emergency Staff Meeting.
You're about six hours late for it.
Yeah' why are you running so behind today' Ev? Because l had a meeting' and l got stood up.
And l'm sorry for that.
But what l lack in punctuality' l will more than make up for in vision and in leadership.
l feel inspired already.
Over the next couple of minutes' you're going to hear all about my turnaround plan' which will restore HankMed's fiscal health and employee morale.
The first step in the turnaround plan is to (MUMBLlNG) The first step is to face reality and manage expectations.
The truth is' as word of our setback begins to spread' the phones will temporarily stop ringing.
(CELL PHONE RlNGlNG) Look at that.
Reverse psychology.
The phone falls for that trick every time' l find.
Hello' HankMed.
And how can we make you feel so much better today? Okay' calm down.
Do we know a Spencer Fisher? Yeah' we do.
He's at home.
He had an accident.
Okay.
Very Just Calm down.
Help is on the way' okay? This is a horrible connection.
Great' just stay right where you are.
See' the rainmaker is back.
The rainmaker is back.
l just had to show up.
See what happens? Then' stay here and make it pour.
No security.
No staff.
This guy sure digs his peace and quiet.
Or he did.
Evan? Why are you here? l'm here to help re-boot HankMed's finances in any way humanly possible.
Then' why don't you sell that ''Hey' check me out'' sign you drive around in? (CHUCKLES) Wait' are you being serious? HANK: Yeah.
(BUZZER SOUNDlNG) Whoa.
So' l brought our new and improved retainer agreement.
And why didn't you tell me we were treating ''Spencer the Spaz''? ''We''? ''Spencer the Spaz''? DlVYA: He's an infomercial salesman.
EVAN: No' no' no' no' no.
He's the infomercial salesman.
This is the guy who brought us the Electronic Bartender.
Cha-ching.
Along with a parade of other user-friendly novelty blockbusters.
Hey' look.
Our own infomercial scholar.
How useful.
You never heard his catch-phrase? His mantra? ''Well' if l can do it' anyone can.
'' Mr.
Fisher? lt's HankMed.
SPENCER: l'm downstairs! Just follow the lights.
What lights? (LlGHTS CHlME) That's the coolest thing l've ever seen.
SPENCER: They light up as you go by.
This is insane.
SPENCER: Keep following the lights.
Oh' l know that one.
SPENCER: Keep going.
Keep going.
ln here! l threw my back out' and l can't move.
You're in where? You're in the giant fireplace? Whoa' whoa' whoa.
That's a laser beam.
Ah.
No' laser (EXCLAlMS SOFTLY) What the hell? Look at all this stuff.
SPENCER: Excuse me.
A little help' please? DlVYA: Oh' my goodness.
EVAN: What the Grab this ladder' guys.
HANK: Let's get his back against this wall right here.
Okay.
Here we go.
Lower him down.
Whoa' whoa' whoa.
Good.
SPENCER: Oh' this is a nice position.
HANK: l'm glad.
This is a good position.
Are we moving from this position? Yeah.
Because that was a good one.
Here we go.
Okay.
Gently down.
Okay.
Keep your back straight.
Careful.
Watch the neck.
All right.
Easy.
(SPENCER GROANlNG) Here you go' pal.
Wow.
You're ''Spencer the Spaz.
'' (CHUCKLES) Today more than ever' huh? Did you invent all those products in this room? No' my dad did.
HANK: Divya filled me in on your dad's passing.
l'm sorry for your loss.
Thank you.
They think it was kidney failure.
But my dad died like he did everything else in his life.
Behind a veil of secrecy.
So Mr.
Fisher' how did you hurt yourself? Uh' silly l was up in the ceiling' trying to fix some of the wiring' and my back just locked up on me.
Every time l move' it hurts.
Well' that's got to be normal' right? With your level of spasticity' you must be getting injured all the time.
''Spasticity''' l've never heard that one.
That's good.
You know' l'm not really a klutz.
That's just a marketing strategy.
A way to sell more self-cleaning sponges.
He's a genius.
You're a That's You're more than a genius' my friend.
You're' like' omniscient.
My dad had the genius' believe me.
l just brought it to the world.
HANK: Could you wiggle your toes? Okay.
Does the pain go down either or both of your legs? No.
lt's just a big' big ache in my lower back.
Would you push against my hands with your feet? Okay.
No abnormalities in the deep-tendon reflexes or strength.
No bony tenderness or deformities so far.
Let's log-roll him.
Oh.
Like a log? HANK: Here we go.
One' two' three.
Oh.
Okay.
All right.
Any of this hurt? No.
(SCREAMlNG) Okay' here we go.
lt's just a muscle spasm.
You're a lucky man' Mr.
Fisher.
Okay.
l'll trust you on that.
(HYDRAULlCS HlSSlNG) Whoa.
Look at these.
You tell me these are not begging to be pressed.
lt's okay.
Welcome to my father's office.
lt's veryhomey.
Open panic room door.
(HlSSlNG) Wow.
Uh' all right.
Let's get him up.
We're just going to pick you up.
Oh.
Any ulcer or diabetes or allergies? No.
Okay.
60 milligrams ketorolac.
And continue the Ativan.
That should help the pain and the spasm.
Okay.
ls there anything l can do to prevent this from happening again? Yes.
Avoid one-man construction jobs.
And as Divya recommended yesterday' try to get some sleep.
And the muscle relaxants will impair your judgment and reflexes' so no hard labor at all.
Especially not with tools.
Guys.
You should check this out.
Whoa.
l mean' either your dad was trying to set up his own concierge medicine business Or he was prepared to spend a very long time in this room.
Listen.
Between you and you and you and me l'm not down here to update this room.
l'm down here to dismantle it.
As my dad got older' he got more and more eccentric.
He worked and practically lived in between these impenetrable walls.
lt's time for the panic room to be retired.
lf you need any of those medical supplies' please take them.
You'd be doing me a huge solid.
Yeah' it's just that we don't We don't really have a need for these supplies.
lf only you knew someone who was trying to start up a free clinic.
(CHATTER ON PA) Dr.
Blair.
l understand you filed a formal complaint against me? Yes' l did.
ln advance of tomorrow's board meeting.
l can't just keep waiting for you to right this ship.
l've always considered you not just a colleague' but the person l'd turn to for guidance in a situation exactly like the one you're putting me in right now.
l'm sorry.
But my loyalty is to Hamptons Heritage.
And when did you start doubting mine? l didn't fire Charlie.
He quit on me.
Professionally or romantically? You know' sometimes' with you' Jill' it's difficult to tell just which one we're discussing.
ln fact' l heard that your relationship with Hank Lawson has been added to the health services curriculum as a case study in bad judgment.
First off' my judgment has served this hospital pretty damn well.
And secondly' my relationship with Hank Lawson is over.
So' the hospital board is finally going to have to find a new talking point.
Ms.
Casey' Dr.
Lawson is waiting for you in your office.
Hey.
Hey.
Everything okay around here? Not according to our hospital's most powerful surgeon.
She thinks l've pretty much ruined the place.
(JlLL SlGHlNG) Did you stop by my house the other night? l did.
But this isn't that.
This is just business.
Oh.
No' no' no.
l don't want you to think l came to your workplace to rehash our relationship or lack thereof or whatever the Hank? Yeah.
Charlie's gone.
l've finalized the divorce.
Finally.
Wow.
lt sounds like you've got your hands full.
l do.
But you came here on business.
So what's up? Oh.
You have time to take a ride? Ms.
Newberg, it's Evan.
Let's talk Newberg business.
Evan R.
Lawson.
The CFO of HankMed.
Ms.
Newberg Hello' Allison.
Hey' ciao' ciao.
How are you feeling? lt's Evan R.
Lawson' CFO of HankMed calling.
We did the TB testing for the staff at your restaurant? No' no' no.
The results are still negative.
Well' that's an interesting choice in hold music.
Sounds a lot like a dial tone.
And l thought we might do some consulting for you.
Like' maybe design a HankMed approved healthy page for your menu.
Yes' l can stick it.
Oh.
There's that catchy hold music again.
(EXCLAlMlNG lN FRUSTRATlON) Hey' Spencer.
lt's Hank.
l just wanted to let you know that l'm headed over there with Jill Casey so she can take a look at that equipment.
Hello? Hello? What's that sound? Uh' Spencer' you're not operating power tools under the influence of sedatives' are you? Hello? Can you hear me? Everything okay? l doubt it.
l don't get why that guy is so obsessed with ripping out part of his own house by hand.
Maybe it's not the room' but what it represents.
lf l could demolish every trace of Charlie in my house You'd be living in the driveway? Spencer? Help.
(GASPlNG) Oh! A nail gun? Really? Hank' l swear.
The spaz thing really is just an act.
Okay.
That's it.
''Spencer the Spaz.
'' l love your infomercials.
Thank you.
Jill' could you prep me a syringe of lido? Sure.
Thanks.
What's wrong with me? These accidents are connected to my headaches and pins and needles' aren't they? Well' we'll start monitoring for cervical disc disease or spinal stenosis' but l think your anxiety and your traumas are two separate issues.
Anyway' how come l'm not screaming in pain? Well' the medications you're on' for one.
Also' the nerves near the puncture were compressed by the swelling and became anesthetic.
But just to be extra' extra safe Thank you.
l'm going to give you a shot of lidocaine.
Okay.
That stuff that you're looking for is back there' if you want to take a look.
Yeah.
Uh' do you have a pair of pliers? Yes.
Where might they be? Over there' by my dad's thermostats.
Thank you.
Whoa.
lt That's how this works? That's how this works.
Oh' man.
On the count of three' l am going to pull this nail out.
Okay.
On three or right after three? ls it three' two Ow! Oh.
You're good.
Thank you.
Are you sure l can have all this equipment for my clinic? SPENCER: lt's all yours.
Oh' by the way' there's a bunch of meds back there that you can look at.
They're on the shelf.
Yeah' l don't think these are meds.
l think these are old chemical vials.
lt's probably part of your dad's lab.
Oh.
That makes sense' l guess.
Yeah' some of these need to be handled carefully.
l'm going to go call my friend on the Hazmat team.
But the rest' l can store in the hospital's dungeon' along with 20 years' worth of other useless antiques.
Keep this out of the line of fire' and it should heal just fine.
There you go.
Thank you.
Spencer' l know you don't like this room.
But we've really got to stop meeting like this.
My dad had two sides to him.
All right? One was the brilliant' industrious side.
l called that his bright side.
And the other side? The reclusive' paranoid side.
That's the side no one else knew about.
Now' clearly' the bright side wasn't passed down to me.
You know? l'm no genius' Hank.
l'm just a salesman with good product' and l know that.
So' you're afraid you're destined to inherit his other side.
What if l end up going crazy like he did? Can you assure me that his mental illness isn't genetic? No.
l can't.
And l get wanting to distance yourself from your dad's legacy.
Believe me' l do.
But' Spencer' if you want to nip insanity in the bud' l'll be honest with you.
Trying to get rid of this room seems way crazier than just staying the hell away from it.
Do you want to hear this? No.
You don't even know what it is.
Sorry.
You're right.
What is it? lt's the script for HankMed's first infomercial.
To air on local stations.
Really? Yeah.
All right' you want to hear it? Definitely not.
''Hello' Fellow Denizens of the Hamptons.
''Are you sick of waiting rooms and exam rooms? ''Are you tired of rude receptionists and negligent nurses? ''Well' the next time you're ill or injured' ''stay right in your own living room.
''Because we will come to you.
'' How is it hitting you so far? Like a wave of acute nausea.
Acute nausea.
l can actually use That's good.
l can use that at the end.
Okay.
So Evan' please.
Stop.
This could be our ticket out of the doldrums.
l'd rather be in the doldrums than be hawking physical exams on QVC.
You don't have to hawk anything.
l'm the talent.
Oh.
Our newest patient He could be my performance coach.
As long as there's a Hank' there will be no HankMed infomercials.
All right.
All right.
Furthermore Furthermore Just because you're back to normal doesn't mean that HankMed is.
And it doesn't mean that we are.
Okay? So' how about you stop worrying about our media plan and you start worrying about getting us through the week without any cash.
Hi.
Wow.
Hi.
The cold war is still raging? Yeah.
He wouldn't even hear my pitch.
''Fellow Denizens.
'' Denizens Evan? lt is time to ease off the hard sell.
You need to regain Hank's trust first as his brother' then as his CFO.
And you were right.
l didn't call off the engagement.
l figured that giant ring wasn't a consolation prize.
What happened? Did you just chicken out? l didn't chicken out.
What l realized at the last possible moment was that l had to let a dream go and face the reality in order to embrace what's most important.
Family.
Look' Evan' l know that you want Hank to forgive your father and welcome him back with open arms.
But if you keep pushing your dream' despite the reality' you are going to lose what matters most to you.
Separate working quarters? ls this what it's come to? Please don't leave me with him.
l'll help you find a great replacement' and l'll train them to whip Evan daily' just like l do.
That would be great.
And trust me' l don't want to move to Raj's flat in London.
Yeah' but you have to.
Yes' l do.
Do you know why? They're just not embracing your accent over here? (LAUGHlNG) Because sometimes' you have to meet family halfway.
Even if you don't get where they're coming from.
You could argue London is more than a halfway point.
(CELL PHONE CHlMlNG) Mmm.
Spencer Fisher.
Hello' Mr.
Fisher.
Mr.
Fisher? The signal dropped.
He probably stuck his finger in an electrical outlet.
Yeah' or got his head caught in a vise.
Don't worry.
l'll take this one.
Great.
As long as you take that one' too.
(MEN CHATTERlNG) Going for the old summer cut' huh? lt has to go' sooner or later.
l've reviewed your file.
Yeah' a real page-turner' huh? The story of a true aristocratic dynasty going back 500 years.
Yeah' the glamour and majesty were intoxicating.
l'm ready to try and help.
(SPEAKlNG SPANlSH) (CLEARlNG THROAT) How will you help? As you know now' l've spoken to leading researchers and scientists from (LAUGHS) Sao Paulo' Singapore' Tel Aviv' Gstaad' Beijing' Sydney.
Minnesota.
You name the place' l've flown there.
With hope.
And come back empty-handed.
You've spoken to an awful lot of experts' Boris.
But as far as l can tell' none of them have spoken to each other.
See' what you're missing' l believe' is a global perspective.
Someone to examine the big picture and' l hope' tie it all together.
With your permission' l'd like to start making some calls.
Talking to these doctors and researchers' and asking some questions.
And l'd like to do so as your primary care physician.
Yourquarterback.
Quarterback.
Well' where will you start' Quarterback? At the beginning.
Dr.
Marisa Casseras of Havana Hospital.
Think about it.
Let me know.
Luigi.
Here.
EVAN: Just trust me.
You won't even know l'm here.
Hmm.
Unlikely.
l just want to pitch him my infomercial very discreetly.
And' uh That's weird.
Huh.
l still can't believe it.
Selling a state-of-the-art panini maker can buy you a house like this? No' that you're engaged.
Thanks for the reminder.
Look.
l know that parents can put their own interests ahead of what's best for their kids.
But that's the beauty of an engagement' is that it's open-ended.
lt's not too late.
Until you set a date.
The wedding is in 60 days.
Oh.
Yeah' you're screwed.
l'm kidding.
Kind of.
(SPENCER GROANlNG) (GROANlNG) Call Hank.
Then' call 91 1 .
Help me.
God.
Help me.
(SCREAMlNG) Hey! The EMTs are five minutes out.
One-oh-one over 49 and pulse of 1 13.
Okay.
Multiple wide-bore lines of saline.
Spencer' on a scale from one to ten' tell me what your pain level is.
We're going to need a bigger scale.
Dude' the door is crushing him.
We made the observation' Evan.
Uh' so' why don't we just try to open the No' no' no.
The pressure of the door is what's keeping him alive.
What? lt's acting as a tourniquet.
lf we release it now' he could bleed out internally.
Okay' right.
Okay.
Tourniquet.
Yeah.
Okay' weak and very fast.
Hank.
l know' pal.
You're not really a spaz.
(BREATHlNG SHALLOWLY) EVAN: What What is What He's going into hemorrhagic shock.
Okay.
So am l.
Uh' now l know why they call it a panic room.
Where the hell are those EMTs? You're going to be okay' buddy.
lt's going to be okay.
Some rhonchi at the base of the right' near impact site.
Can you reach for the pedal pulses? l can't get past his knees.
All right.
Try for the popliteals.
Okay.
(BREATHlNG SHALLOWLY) Okay' bud.
lt's okay.
Okay.
Stronger on the right than the left' but both very weak.
Spencer' we'll be right back.
One second.
Major laceration.
Helps explain the hypotension and tachycardia.
l figured it was only internal bleeding.
Fluids will only go so far.
Eventually' he'll bleed out his own supply' and then he'll bleed out the saline faster than we can pump it in him.
And if we open the door' he'll die even faster.
Mmm-hmm.
(SlGHlNG) lf only we could take him to the hospital like this.
Jesus.
How can we help' Doc? HANK: All right.
We need more saline' we need the stretcher ready' and then we need to haul ass to Hamptons Heritage.
Soon as we open that door' it will be a scoop-and-run against the clock.
Okay.
Go.
Go' go' go' go.
Hank.
Even racing down an empty Montauk Highway' how will he ever make it that far in time? With a little luck' all we'll need is some help from Jill's basement full of useless antiques.
As l stated previously' l did not terminate Dr.
Casey.
This formal complaint' Mrs.
Casey' is not just about the loss of another respected ER doctor.
What's it about' then? We want to offer you a chance to keep this review off your record.
By tendering my resignation.
By avoiding an ugly proceeding.
(CELL PHONE BUZZlNG) Well' l appreciate your concern for my resume' Dr.
Blair.
But l assure l'm sorry.
l need to excuse myself.
(LAUGHlNG HUMORLESSLY) What could be more important than saving her job? According to inventory' we do have one.
But the last time it was used l was in junior high.
Okay.
lt's got to be in here somewhere.
What does it look like? lt should say MAST on the side.
M-A-S Got it.
Great.
Who is the fastest driver at your hospital? Let's see.
Okay.
We're saving him using M.
C.
Hammer memorabilia? They're inflatable trousers.
They were developed by the military in the '60s.
They'll help stabilize his BP while we transport him to Heritage.
SPENCER: God! Hank.
90 over 40.
One twenty-five.
Open up all lVs.
Crank up the fluids and give him two milligram boluses of morphine every five minutes.
Push it slowly.
l just found a shortcut to Route 27.
Should shave' like' three minutes off our problem.
No' no.
lt's a summer Saturday.
Route 27 is our problem.
l'll go see what else we can do to buy some time.
Okay.
We're ready to open the door and move Spencer now.
SPENCER: God.
Okay.
Yeah.
You' me' and the 91 1 beefcakes are going to heave that door right off him.
No' no.
Evan' the door is six inches thick and weighs 800 pounds.
The front line of the New York Jets couldn't open it with bare hands.
Okay.
So Uh Fortunately' there is a big green release button inside the panic room.
No way.
l l'm not physically qualified for that' Hank.
Look at me.
lf that door snaps shut on my frail and slender body Don't worry.
As a precaution' l ordered a second pair of trousers.
ln your favorite color' salmon.
This is revenge for the Dad thing' isn't it? Not even a little bit.
But if you're looking for a way out of the doghouse l might find it through that door.
HANK: You can do it.
(SPENCER GROANlNG) EMT 1 : Sorry' buddy.
All right.
All right' here we go.
Push me.
All right.
All right.
Oh' God.
Oh' my God.
Yes.
You got it? You got it? (GRUNTlNG) Oh' yeah.
You okay in there? Yeah' l'm good.
l'm just counting extremities.
Okay.
Yeah.
l'm all right.
Okay.
lt's working.
HANK: Okay.
Guys' on three.
Evan' on three.
On three or' like' right after three? Whatever.
Okay.
Onetwothree! Get in there.
Turn him over.
Okay.
Let's get his shoulders.
Let's get him over there.
Okay.
Okay.
BP's in freefall.
Okay.
Trauma shears.
HemCon bandage.
Okay.
The chitosan in the gauze will adhere to the red blood cells and form a tight clot very quickly.
How quickly? That quick enough for you? Gauze.
Tape.
All right.
Now' we wrap and velcro the trousers.
Here we go.
Abdominal belt.
Good.
Okay' inflate.
Careful not to puncture the suit with anything sharp.
We don't have a backup.
Okay.
Pressure stopped dropping.
Seventy over palp.
Okay.
lt's working.
Slow down the fluids.
and four more of morphine.
How long will this thing keep him stable for? Let's not find out.
All right.
HANK: Hi' there.
Could you grab this corner? EMT 3: Got it.
HANK: All right' guys.
Let's get him in there.
This is all the help you could scare up? Where's everyone else? Sealing off Montauk Highway for us.
EMT 2: Ready to go' Doc! Nice.
(SlRENS WAlLlNG) EMT: Coming through! ELlZABETH: Whoa' whoa' whoa.
What the hell is this? lt's an emergency' Dr.
Blair.
Can you untangle these' please? Ah.
And you would be Dr.
Lawson.
l am.
And you are Amongst my other duties' l am now acting Chief of Emergency Services.
So' l'll take it from here.
Perfect.
Just pull the plugs to deflate.
Oh' and make sure you don't miss any bleeding vessels during embolization.
Otherwise' you'll be pulling the plug on more than just the suit.
He's all yours.
Maybe you'd better come with us.
Maybe l'd better.
ELlZABETH: Great.
Let's go' guys.
Move it.
All right.
Careful' careful' careful.
Nice job back there.
Yeah? (LAUGHS) You' too.
You want to talk about him? About Spencer? Eddie R.
Uh lt's just lt's complicated family stuff.
Yeah? Well' what would l know about that? (lNHALES DEEPLY) All right.
(EXHALlNG) l started talking to my dad again about a year ago.
He called me on my 30th birthday.
And l hadn't talked to him in 20 years' mind you.
You know what the first thing he said to me was? What? ''How's Hank?'' l'm sorry to hear that.
Yeah.
That's just how he's started every conversation since.
''How's Hank?'' (SlGHlNG) Hmm.
l guess l really needed to tell someone that.
lt says a lot about your father.
Yeah' it says a lot about my brother.
But it says the most about you.
Yeah? What does it say' exactly? That you're caught between your rock and your hard place.
(SlGHlNG) And rather than just trying to squirm out you've been trying to make everything fit together comfortably again.
l guess l really needed someone to tell me that.
Well' don't let it go to your head.
l'm What? (LAUGHlNG) How fast can you get me back to change? l have an important meeting with a young heiress.
lt's nice to have you back.
Well' yeah.
Am l going to be okay? Yeah.
And not just in the short-term.
l was thinking about it.
One of the chemicals Jill found in your dad's lab was mercury.
That's why he had all those old thermostats lying around.
He probably used the mercury to manipulate the gold for some of his experiments.
He was building a next-generation robot' operated by the lnternet.
Which sounds incredibly cool.
Unfortunately' when inhaled in large doses over long periods of time' mercury can cause psychosis.
And kidney failure.
So' it wasn't the mental illness that sent my dad into that room.
No.
lt was the other way around.
That's why he grew increasingly paranoid and distant.
And in smaller doses' exposure can lead to headaches' fatigue' tingling sensations' sleeplessness' and incoordination.
Or in layman's terms' ''spasticity.
'' Yes.
Spasticity.
So' l really am going to be okay? Yeah.
As long as you hire a contractor for all future renovation.
Yes' Doctor.
So' l can contact Dr.
Casseras? You can give it your best shot.
Okay.
lf you reach her' tell her when l look at the roses' l think of Cristobal Square.
She'll know what it means.
Hank.
All right.
(UPBEAT SONG PLAYlNG) (SlGHlNG) l really hope she's good to you.
l'm sure she will be.
l was talking to the car.
(LAUGHS) Bye.
What's with the Johnny Cash fashion tribute? l'm in mourning.
Henrietta.
l just sold the only valuable thing l've ever owned.
Oh.
Well' look on the bright side.
Since you got it for free' you cashed out at 100% profit.
One could argue that l timed the market perfectly' then.
One could' indeed.
One could also argue you've begun to repent for your sin.
(SCOFFS) Ha.
l don't know.
l think sin is a slight exaggeration.
Really? l think it's an understatement.
Shall we agree to disagree? Like we always do.
So' is ''Spencer the Spaz'' going to be all right' or what? Yeah.
Turns out not so spastic after all.
Yeah' the problem was mercury poisoning.
l thought it was that giant door slicing into him like a pinata.
No' l meant Never mind.
Go deep.
All right.
Deeper.
Like old times.
All right.
Deeper.
(SlGHlNG) Hey' kiddo.
Look at you.
What? All right' so it took a little longer than l thought.
lt's still the same shade of green.
How about today' we save two for the price of one? ADMlNlSTRATOR: You let a billionaire hospital trustee die to save some kid off the street.
l made a judgment call.
You made a mistake.
EVAN: This trip is going to get you back on your feet.
HANK: What trip? EVAN: To the Hamptons.
Boris Kuester von Jurgens-Ratenicz.
Stay in my guest cottage for the summer.
Be my concierge doctor.
JlLL: Concierge doctor to the rich, and an on-call doctor to the rest of us.
A Robin Hood of medicine.
Jill Casey.
Hospital administrator.
So that happened.
ADAMS: You and I have been down this road before, Jill.
And which road is that' Dr.
Adams? The one with your personal life on one side' your professional life on the other.
Pick a lane, Ms.
Casey.
My ex was a local doctor' too.
So he's a doctor and l'm a doctor.
That doesn't make me him.
I'm Divya.
Divya Katdare.
l'd like to be your PA.
My PA.
Physician assistant.
Your mother hired me to help plan your engagement party.
Your what? DlVYA: You couldn't possibly understand my situation.
ls this an arranged marriage? What ifshe gets engaged and moves to London? What are we going to do? ls Boris sick? You can't let go of my hand' can you? No' l can't.
This thing you have' it's genetic.
And as you've so diligently discovered' Hank' quite fatal.
You've known your whole life.
How it would end? Yes.
My family medical history.
You don't want your dad to see how far you've come? We worshipped him.
But then when our mom got sick and we needed him most' he just walked out on us.
l don't give a damn what he thinks.
Apparently' the check you wrote them for our new portable EKG machine just bounced.
What's up? We're broke.
What do you mean' broke? We got scammed.
By who? I can't believe you didn't tell me that Dad took all our money.
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHlNG) Mr.
Kuester von Boris will do.
l'm short on time.
l'm Divya Katdare.
l work for Hank.
l know who you are' Miss Katdare.
And in a manner of speaking' Hank works for me.
So' l'm hoping at least one of us knows where he is.
l'm sure he's with a patient.
Well' we had an appointment Shall l grab a copy of Us Weekly and take a seat in the waiting room? l'll see if l can track him down.
Hank' Divya.
Again.
Where are you? (EXHALlNG) (CELL PHONE RlNGlNG) l can't seem to get a hold of you.
So' l'll cover the visit and try you again when l'm done.
DlVYA: Any other symptoms? Yeah' l've had' uh' pins and needles in my hands and arms.
Hmm.
What line of work are you in' Mr.
Fisher? l produce and star in a bunch of silly infomercials.
Have you been working very hard lately? Actually' l've been playing hooky.
My dad passed away recently and left me this house.
Well' my condolences.
Thank you.
lt's been a lot of work' sorting through everything and l have not been sleeping much lately.
Actually' that's a symptom' right? Not sleeping much lately? lf you want to put that down.
What do you think might be wrong? l think the sleeplessness is causing anxiety.
And l think anxiety is causing everything else.
l'm going to prescribe you a low dose of Ativan.
That should do the trick.
Great.
Okay.
Thank you.
Oh.
l was actually wondering Just out of curiosity.
ls there an actual Hank in HankMed? There is.
But he's Ah.
He's playing hooky' too.
(RlNGlNG) Hey.
You've reached Evan R.
Lawson, CFO of HankMed.
Please leave a message.
Thanks a lot.
(KNOCKlNG ON DOOR) Dad.
The first vacation he took us on was a 20 minute drive to New York City.
He called it the ''ultimate island getaway.
'' This is where we stayed.
And this is where you tried finding him a few years later' after he left on his permanent vacation.
lt's not so permanent anymore.
Dad's at the bank right now.
He's getting us our money.
Really? Yeah.
And how long ago did he leave? He left 20 minutes ago.
He left a couple of hours ago.
Okay? l woke up.
He'd left a note.
Look at that.
He stole your move.
(SCOFFS) Come on' Ev.
Let's go home.
You made a hell of a mess out there' and you can't clean it up from here.
No.
l'm not going home.
He's coming back this time.
l guarantee it.
How long have you been in touch with him? What? He's our father.
Despite my best efforts' it looks like there's still one sucker left in this family' ready to buy whatever Eddie R.
Lawson has to sell.
Last chance.
You coming or not? Okay.
(DOOR SLAMS SHUT) Have you seen a green folder? lt was right here on the counter.
You mean it disappeared? Without notifying you? Again' sorry about that.
lt's fine.
l was just worried about you guys.
Well' a little less about Evan.
Somewhere deep inside me (SlGHlNG) l probably knew he was sitting in a suite at the Waldorf.
(LAUGHS) Sorry.
l have not seen a green folder.
Okay.
Any chance you can help me decipher our CFO's balance sheet? How bad is it? lt is the accounting version of Pig Latin.
No' l meant financially.
Well Because we're net sixty and our vendors are net thirty' we depend on our reserves to stay in the black.
ln English? lf we don't find some fast cash soon' we are in trouble.
(SlGHlNG) Evan.
Don't blame him.
Blame me.
My paycheck bounced.
l blame him.
No' l let him put us in this position.
l should have known better.
But l guess family can cloud your judgment.
Tell me about it.
You want to talk about it? You mean about my party? About my involuntary engagement? About my impossibly complicated future? Yeah.
Not at all.
We have bigger fish to fry.
l.
e.
your rain check with your displeased patient/landlord.
SPENCER: Are you sick of trying to make drinks at home thatjust don't end up right? Ew.
Yuck.
Whenever I try to make drinks at home, the proportions are all wrong.
Well, not anymore.
(CELL PHONE RlNGlNG) (SlGHlNG) Well' tell me.
How does freedom taste? Freedom? Sorry to hear you had to leave before the actual ceremony.
I know.
Me, too.
Must have been something important.
lt was' uh lt was business.
And personal.
So, how did Raj handle being left at the altar? l really don't have time for chit-chat' Evan.
l can't interpret your kindergarten level handwriting' let alone your Byzantine system for insurance codes.
Whoa.
Don't get your scrubs in a bunch.
Everything's going to work out just fine.
You need to get back here and dig us out of the hole that you put us in.
And you need to do it now.
This is the worst possible time for you to throw into jeopardy the one thing that still makes any sense.
Oh' my God.
You went through with it.
Didn't you? You got engaged.
Div SPENCER: The Electronic Bartender is yours now forjust four easy payments of $19.
95.
(SPEAKlNG SPANlSH) ls there any language you don't speak fluently? Hank.
(SPEAKlNG SPANlSH) When you want to acquire exquisite Cuban roses' you have to go where they are and learn the language.
Well' you must have imported them before the '63 embargo.
You know your history.
What about my history? Uh' l haven't finished reviewing your file.
And not just because l lost it.
l had to deal with a family situation.
That's an explanation' but not an excuse.
You know' Hank' this is not a quid pro quo arrangement.
You're welcome to stay here as long as you like.
Thank you.
But perhaps l'd be better served by another physician.
One with fewer distractions.
Boris' you can trust me.
Yeah.
Unfortunately' l don't know who you can trust.
You don't have the file' Hank' because l have it.
l found it laying out in the guest quarters' like some coffee table accessory.
Your file wasn't read.
Your privacy wasn't violated.
And your trust wasn't broken.
l had a rough morning and missed an appointment.
And for that' l'm sorry.
Because quid pro quo or not' you deserve better from me.
(SlREN BLARlNG) NURSE: Thank you for your help' Dr.
Blair.
Uh' Jill? Can l speak to you' please? Hey' Liz.
Uh' what are you doing down here? Funny.
That was my question.
l guess we're both used to seeing the ER docs handle this kind of work.
Too bad you seem to be systematically terminating them' one by one.
That's rumor and exaggeration.
You didn't fire Dr.
Madden at the horse show? Oh' no' l did.
And before even replacing him' you didn't ax Dr.
Casey? Charlie said l fired him? Do you have a secret plan to start cutting back on patient emergencies' as well? Because if not' Jill' l see a serious math problem in our future.
(GASPlNG) Maybe we should discuss this later.
l understand that we've just received the latest Press Ganey scores.
Patient satisfaction up 10%.
Thanks to your efforts' l'm sure' to integrate the records systems and streamline the referral process.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
But l'm a highly-trained Gl surgeon' called down here to run errands far below my pay grade.
l'm also a member of the board' obligated to make sure that surgeons like me aren't wasting our time.
What are you saying? What l'm saying is that l'm really happy that the patients are so satisfied.
But the doctors aren't.
And that's a problem that you need to fix.
Quickly.
DlVYA: And given the projected income from this Hi' Dieter.
Bye' Dieter.
And given the projected income of this week's rather light schedule We'll be even worse off in seven days than we are now.
Sorry to paint such a rosy picture.
What are we going to do? You're going to do three things.
First' you're going to stop worrying about money' because that's my job.
Second' you're going to take a break and replenish your body's essential inventories of sugar and caffeine.
And third' you are going to join me on a little magic carpet ride l like to call the HankMed Emergency Staff Meeting.
You're about six hours late for it.
Yeah' why are you running so behind today' Ev? Because l had a meeting' and l got stood up.
And l'm sorry for that.
But what l lack in punctuality' l will more than make up for in vision and in leadership.
l feel inspired already.
Over the next couple of minutes' you're going to hear all about my turnaround plan' which will restore HankMed's fiscal health and employee morale.
The first step in the turnaround plan is to (MUMBLlNG) The first step is to face reality and manage expectations.
The truth is' as word of our setback begins to spread' the phones will temporarily stop ringing.
(CELL PHONE RlNGlNG) Look at that.
Reverse psychology.
The phone falls for that trick every time' l find.
Hello' HankMed.
And how can we make you feel so much better today? Okay' calm down.
Do we know a Spencer Fisher? Yeah' we do.
He's at home.
He had an accident.
Okay.
Very Just Calm down.
Help is on the way' okay? This is a horrible connection.
Great' just stay right where you are.
See' the rainmaker is back.
The rainmaker is back.
l just had to show up.
See what happens? Then' stay here and make it pour.
No security.
No staff.
This guy sure digs his peace and quiet.
Or he did.
Evan? Why are you here? l'm here to help re-boot HankMed's finances in any way humanly possible.
Then' why don't you sell that ''Hey' check me out'' sign you drive around in? (CHUCKLES) Wait' are you being serious? HANK: Yeah.
(BUZZER SOUNDlNG) Whoa.
So' l brought our new and improved retainer agreement.
And why didn't you tell me we were treating ''Spencer the Spaz''? ''We''? ''Spencer the Spaz''? DlVYA: He's an infomercial salesman.
EVAN: No' no' no' no' no.
He's the infomercial salesman.
This is the guy who brought us the Electronic Bartender.
Cha-ching.
Along with a parade of other user-friendly novelty blockbusters.
Hey' look.
Our own infomercial scholar.
How useful.
You never heard his catch-phrase? His mantra? ''Well' if l can do it' anyone can.
'' Mr.
Fisher? lt's HankMed.
SPENCER: l'm downstairs! Just follow the lights.
What lights? (LlGHTS CHlME) That's the coolest thing l've ever seen.
SPENCER: They light up as you go by.
This is insane.
SPENCER: Keep following the lights.
Oh' l know that one.
SPENCER: Keep going.
Keep going.
ln here! l threw my back out' and l can't move.
You're in where? You're in the giant fireplace? Whoa' whoa' whoa.
That's a laser beam.
Ah.
No' laser (EXCLAlMS SOFTLY) What the hell? Look at all this stuff.
SPENCER: Excuse me.
A little help' please? DlVYA: Oh' my goodness.
EVAN: What the Grab this ladder' guys.
HANK: Let's get his back against this wall right here.
Okay.
Here we go.
Lower him down.
Whoa' whoa' whoa.
Good.
SPENCER: Oh' this is a nice position.
HANK: l'm glad.
This is a good position.
Are we moving from this position? Yeah.
Because that was a good one.
Here we go.
Okay.
Gently down.
Okay.
Keep your back straight.
Careful.
Watch the neck.
All right.
Easy.
(SPENCER GROANlNG) Here you go' pal.
Wow.
You're ''Spencer the Spaz.
'' (CHUCKLES) Today more than ever' huh? Did you invent all those products in this room? No' my dad did.
HANK: Divya filled me in on your dad's passing.
l'm sorry for your loss.
Thank you.
They think it was kidney failure.
But my dad died like he did everything else in his life.
Behind a veil of secrecy.
So Mr.
Fisher' how did you hurt yourself? Uh' silly l was up in the ceiling' trying to fix some of the wiring' and my back just locked up on me.
Every time l move' it hurts.
Well' that's got to be normal' right? With your level of spasticity' you must be getting injured all the time.
''Spasticity''' l've never heard that one.
That's good.
You know' l'm not really a klutz.
That's just a marketing strategy.
A way to sell more self-cleaning sponges.
He's a genius.
You're a That's You're more than a genius' my friend.
You're' like' omniscient.
My dad had the genius' believe me.
l just brought it to the world.
HANK: Could you wiggle your toes? Okay.
Does the pain go down either or both of your legs? No.
lt's just a big' big ache in my lower back.
Would you push against my hands with your feet? Okay.
No abnormalities in the deep-tendon reflexes or strength.
No bony tenderness or deformities so far.
Let's log-roll him.
Oh.
Like a log? HANK: Here we go.
One' two' three.
Oh.
Okay.
All right.
Any of this hurt? No.
(SCREAMlNG) Okay' here we go.
lt's just a muscle spasm.
You're a lucky man' Mr.
Fisher.
Okay.
l'll trust you on that.
(HYDRAULlCS HlSSlNG) Whoa.
Look at these.
You tell me these are not begging to be pressed.
lt's okay.
Welcome to my father's office.
lt's veryhomey.
Open panic room door.
(HlSSlNG) Wow.
Uh' all right.
Let's get him up.
We're just going to pick you up.
Oh.
Any ulcer or diabetes or allergies? No.
Okay.
60 milligrams ketorolac.
And continue the Ativan.
That should help the pain and the spasm.
Okay.
ls there anything l can do to prevent this from happening again? Yes.
Avoid one-man construction jobs.
And as Divya recommended yesterday' try to get some sleep.
And the muscle relaxants will impair your judgment and reflexes' so no hard labor at all.
Especially not with tools.
Guys.
You should check this out.
Whoa.
l mean' either your dad was trying to set up his own concierge medicine business Or he was prepared to spend a very long time in this room.
Listen.
Between you and you and you and me l'm not down here to update this room.
l'm down here to dismantle it.
As my dad got older' he got more and more eccentric.
He worked and practically lived in between these impenetrable walls.
lt's time for the panic room to be retired.
lf you need any of those medical supplies' please take them.
You'd be doing me a huge solid.
Yeah' it's just that we don't We don't really have a need for these supplies.
lf only you knew someone who was trying to start up a free clinic.
(CHATTER ON PA) Dr.
Blair.
l understand you filed a formal complaint against me? Yes' l did.
ln advance of tomorrow's board meeting.
l can't just keep waiting for you to right this ship.
l've always considered you not just a colleague' but the person l'd turn to for guidance in a situation exactly like the one you're putting me in right now.
l'm sorry.
But my loyalty is to Hamptons Heritage.
And when did you start doubting mine? l didn't fire Charlie.
He quit on me.
Professionally or romantically? You know' sometimes' with you' Jill' it's difficult to tell just which one we're discussing.
ln fact' l heard that your relationship with Hank Lawson has been added to the health services curriculum as a case study in bad judgment.
First off' my judgment has served this hospital pretty damn well.
And secondly' my relationship with Hank Lawson is over.
So' the hospital board is finally going to have to find a new talking point.
Ms.
Casey' Dr.
Lawson is waiting for you in your office.
Hey.
Hey.
Everything okay around here? Not according to our hospital's most powerful surgeon.
She thinks l've pretty much ruined the place.
(JlLL SlGHlNG) Did you stop by my house the other night? l did.
But this isn't that.
This is just business.
Oh.
No' no' no.
l don't want you to think l came to your workplace to rehash our relationship or lack thereof or whatever the Hank? Yeah.
Charlie's gone.
l've finalized the divorce.
Finally.
Wow.
lt sounds like you've got your hands full.
l do.
But you came here on business.
So what's up? Oh.
You have time to take a ride? Ms.
Newberg, it's Evan.
Let's talk Newberg business.
Evan R.
Lawson.
The CFO of HankMed.
Ms.
Newberg Hello' Allison.
Hey' ciao' ciao.
How are you feeling? lt's Evan R.
Lawson' CFO of HankMed calling.
We did the TB testing for the staff at your restaurant? No' no' no.
The results are still negative.
Well' that's an interesting choice in hold music.
Sounds a lot like a dial tone.
And l thought we might do some consulting for you.
Like' maybe design a HankMed approved healthy page for your menu.
Yes' l can stick it.
Oh.
There's that catchy hold music again.
(EXCLAlMlNG lN FRUSTRATlON) Hey' Spencer.
lt's Hank.
l just wanted to let you know that l'm headed over there with Jill Casey so she can take a look at that equipment.
Hello? Hello? What's that sound? Uh' Spencer' you're not operating power tools under the influence of sedatives' are you? Hello? Can you hear me? Everything okay? l doubt it.
l don't get why that guy is so obsessed with ripping out part of his own house by hand.
Maybe it's not the room' but what it represents.
lf l could demolish every trace of Charlie in my house You'd be living in the driveway? Spencer? Help.
(GASPlNG) Oh! A nail gun? Really? Hank' l swear.
The spaz thing really is just an act.
Okay.
That's it.
''Spencer the Spaz.
'' l love your infomercials.
Thank you.
Jill' could you prep me a syringe of lido? Sure.
Thanks.
What's wrong with me? These accidents are connected to my headaches and pins and needles' aren't they? Well' we'll start monitoring for cervical disc disease or spinal stenosis' but l think your anxiety and your traumas are two separate issues.
Anyway' how come l'm not screaming in pain? Well' the medications you're on' for one.
Also' the nerves near the puncture were compressed by the swelling and became anesthetic.
But just to be extra' extra safe Thank you.
l'm going to give you a shot of lidocaine.
Okay.
That stuff that you're looking for is back there' if you want to take a look.
Yeah.
Uh' do you have a pair of pliers? Yes.
Where might they be? Over there' by my dad's thermostats.
Thank you.
Whoa.
lt That's how this works? That's how this works.
Oh' man.
On the count of three' l am going to pull this nail out.
Okay.
On three or right after three? ls it three' two Ow! Oh.
You're good.
Thank you.
Are you sure l can have all this equipment for my clinic? SPENCER: lt's all yours.
Oh' by the way' there's a bunch of meds back there that you can look at.
They're on the shelf.
Yeah' l don't think these are meds.
l think these are old chemical vials.
lt's probably part of your dad's lab.
Oh.
That makes sense' l guess.
Yeah' some of these need to be handled carefully.
l'm going to go call my friend on the Hazmat team.
But the rest' l can store in the hospital's dungeon' along with 20 years' worth of other useless antiques.
Keep this out of the line of fire' and it should heal just fine.
There you go.
Thank you.
Spencer' l know you don't like this room.
But we've really got to stop meeting like this.
My dad had two sides to him.
All right? One was the brilliant' industrious side.
l called that his bright side.
And the other side? The reclusive' paranoid side.
That's the side no one else knew about.
Now' clearly' the bright side wasn't passed down to me.
You know? l'm no genius' Hank.
l'm just a salesman with good product' and l know that.
So' you're afraid you're destined to inherit his other side.
What if l end up going crazy like he did? Can you assure me that his mental illness isn't genetic? No.
l can't.
And l get wanting to distance yourself from your dad's legacy.
Believe me' l do.
But' Spencer' if you want to nip insanity in the bud' l'll be honest with you.
Trying to get rid of this room seems way crazier than just staying the hell away from it.
Do you want to hear this? No.
You don't even know what it is.
Sorry.
You're right.
What is it? lt's the script for HankMed's first infomercial.
To air on local stations.
Really? Yeah.
All right' you want to hear it? Definitely not.
''Hello' Fellow Denizens of the Hamptons.
''Are you sick of waiting rooms and exam rooms? ''Are you tired of rude receptionists and negligent nurses? ''Well' the next time you're ill or injured' ''stay right in your own living room.
''Because we will come to you.
'' How is it hitting you so far? Like a wave of acute nausea.
Acute nausea.
l can actually use That's good.
l can use that at the end.
Okay.
So Evan' please.
Stop.
This could be our ticket out of the doldrums.
l'd rather be in the doldrums than be hawking physical exams on QVC.
You don't have to hawk anything.
l'm the talent.
Oh.
Our newest patient He could be my performance coach.
As long as there's a Hank' there will be no HankMed infomercials.
All right.
All right.
Furthermore Furthermore Just because you're back to normal doesn't mean that HankMed is.
And it doesn't mean that we are.
Okay? So' how about you stop worrying about our media plan and you start worrying about getting us through the week without any cash.
Hi.
Wow.
Hi.
The cold war is still raging? Yeah.
He wouldn't even hear my pitch.
''Fellow Denizens.
'' Denizens Evan? lt is time to ease off the hard sell.
You need to regain Hank's trust first as his brother' then as his CFO.
And you were right.
l didn't call off the engagement.
l figured that giant ring wasn't a consolation prize.
What happened? Did you just chicken out? l didn't chicken out.
What l realized at the last possible moment was that l had to let a dream go and face the reality in order to embrace what's most important.
Family.
Look' Evan' l know that you want Hank to forgive your father and welcome him back with open arms.
But if you keep pushing your dream' despite the reality' you are going to lose what matters most to you.
Separate working quarters? ls this what it's come to? Please don't leave me with him.
l'll help you find a great replacement' and l'll train them to whip Evan daily' just like l do.
That would be great.
And trust me' l don't want to move to Raj's flat in London.
Yeah' but you have to.
Yes' l do.
Do you know why? They're just not embracing your accent over here? (LAUGHlNG) Because sometimes' you have to meet family halfway.
Even if you don't get where they're coming from.
You could argue London is more than a halfway point.
(CELL PHONE CHlMlNG) Mmm.
Spencer Fisher.
Hello' Mr.
Fisher.
Mr.
Fisher? The signal dropped.
He probably stuck his finger in an electrical outlet.
Yeah' or got his head caught in a vise.
Don't worry.
l'll take this one.
Great.
As long as you take that one' too.
(MEN CHATTERlNG) Going for the old summer cut' huh? lt has to go' sooner or later.
l've reviewed your file.
Yeah' a real page-turner' huh? The story of a true aristocratic dynasty going back 500 years.
Yeah' the glamour and majesty were intoxicating.
l'm ready to try and help.
(SPEAKlNG SPANlSH) (CLEARlNG THROAT) How will you help? As you know now' l've spoken to leading researchers and scientists from (LAUGHS) Sao Paulo' Singapore' Tel Aviv' Gstaad' Beijing' Sydney.
Minnesota.
You name the place' l've flown there.
With hope.
And come back empty-handed.
You've spoken to an awful lot of experts' Boris.
But as far as l can tell' none of them have spoken to each other.
See' what you're missing' l believe' is a global perspective.
Someone to examine the big picture and' l hope' tie it all together.
With your permission' l'd like to start making some calls.
Talking to these doctors and researchers' and asking some questions.
And l'd like to do so as your primary care physician.
Yourquarterback.
Quarterback.
Well' where will you start' Quarterback? At the beginning.
Dr.
Marisa Casseras of Havana Hospital.
Think about it.
Let me know.
Luigi.
Here.
EVAN: Just trust me.
You won't even know l'm here.
Hmm.
Unlikely.
l just want to pitch him my infomercial very discreetly.
And' uh That's weird.
Huh.
l still can't believe it.
Selling a state-of-the-art panini maker can buy you a house like this? No' that you're engaged.
Thanks for the reminder.
Look.
l know that parents can put their own interests ahead of what's best for their kids.
But that's the beauty of an engagement' is that it's open-ended.
lt's not too late.
Until you set a date.
The wedding is in 60 days.
Oh.
Yeah' you're screwed.
l'm kidding.
Kind of.
(SPENCER GROANlNG) (GROANlNG) Call Hank.
Then' call 91 1 .
Help me.
God.
Help me.
(SCREAMlNG) Hey! The EMTs are five minutes out.
One-oh-one over 49 and pulse of 1 13.
Okay.
Multiple wide-bore lines of saline.
Spencer' on a scale from one to ten' tell me what your pain level is.
We're going to need a bigger scale.
Dude' the door is crushing him.
We made the observation' Evan.
Uh' so' why don't we just try to open the No' no' no.
The pressure of the door is what's keeping him alive.
What? lt's acting as a tourniquet.
lf we release it now' he could bleed out internally.
Okay' right.
Okay.
Tourniquet.
Yeah.
Okay' weak and very fast.
Hank.
l know' pal.
You're not really a spaz.
(BREATHlNG SHALLOWLY) EVAN: What What is What He's going into hemorrhagic shock.
Okay.
So am l.
Uh' now l know why they call it a panic room.
Where the hell are those EMTs? You're going to be okay' buddy.
lt's going to be okay.
Some rhonchi at the base of the right' near impact site.
Can you reach for the pedal pulses? l can't get past his knees.
All right.
Try for the popliteals.
Okay.
(BREATHlNG SHALLOWLY) Okay' bud.
lt's okay.
Okay.
Stronger on the right than the left' but both very weak.
Spencer' we'll be right back.
One second.
Major laceration.
Helps explain the hypotension and tachycardia.
l figured it was only internal bleeding.
Fluids will only go so far.
Eventually' he'll bleed out his own supply' and then he'll bleed out the saline faster than we can pump it in him.
And if we open the door' he'll die even faster.
Mmm-hmm.
(SlGHlNG) lf only we could take him to the hospital like this.
Jesus.
How can we help' Doc? HANK: All right.
We need more saline' we need the stretcher ready' and then we need to haul ass to Hamptons Heritage.
Soon as we open that door' it will be a scoop-and-run against the clock.
Okay.
Go.
Go' go' go' go.
Hank.
Even racing down an empty Montauk Highway' how will he ever make it that far in time? With a little luck' all we'll need is some help from Jill's basement full of useless antiques.
As l stated previously' l did not terminate Dr.
Casey.
This formal complaint' Mrs.
Casey' is not just about the loss of another respected ER doctor.
What's it about' then? We want to offer you a chance to keep this review off your record.
By tendering my resignation.
By avoiding an ugly proceeding.
(CELL PHONE BUZZlNG) Well' l appreciate your concern for my resume' Dr.
Blair.
But l assure l'm sorry.
l need to excuse myself.
(LAUGHlNG HUMORLESSLY) What could be more important than saving her job? According to inventory' we do have one.
But the last time it was used l was in junior high.
Okay.
lt's got to be in here somewhere.
What does it look like? lt should say MAST on the side.
M-A-S Got it.
Great.
Who is the fastest driver at your hospital? Let's see.
Okay.
We're saving him using M.
C.
Hammer memorabilia? They're inflatable trousers.
They were developed by the military in the '60s.
They'll help stabilize his BP while we transport him to Heritage.
SPENCER: God! Hank.
90 over 40.
One twenty-five.
Open up all lVs.
Crank up the fluids and give him two milligram boluses of morphine every five minutes.
Push it slowly.
l just found a shortcut to Route 27.
Should shave' like' three minutes off our problem.
No' no.
lt's a summer Saturday.
Route 27 is our problem.
l'll go see what else we can do to buy some time.
Okay.
We're ready to open the door and move Spencer now.
SPENCER: God.
Okay.
Yeah.
You' me' and the 91 1 beefcakes are going to heave that door right off him.
No' no.
Evan' the door is six inches thick and weighs 800 pounds.
The front line of the New York Jets couldn't open it with bare hands.
Okay.
So Uh Fortunately' there is a big green release button inside the panic room.
No way.
l l'm not physically qualified for that' Hank.
Look at me.
lf that door snaps shut on my frail and slender body Don't worry.
As a precaution' l ordered a second pair of trousers.
ln your favorite color' salmon.
This is revenge for the Dad thing' isn't it? Not even a little bit.
But if you're looking for a way out of the doghouse l might find it through that door.
HANK: You can do it.
(SPENCER GROANlNG) EMT 1 : Sorry' buddy.
All right.
All right' here we go.
Push me.
All right.
All right.
Oh' God.
Oh' my God.
Yes.
You got it? You got it? (GRUNTlNG) Oh' yeah.
You okay in there? Yeah' l'm good.
l'm just counting extremities.
Okay.
Yeah.
l'm all right.
Okay.
lt's working.
HANK: Okay.
Guys' on three.
Evan' on three.
On three or' like' right after three? Whatever.
Okay.
Onetwothree! Get in there.
Turn him over.
Okay.
Let's get his shoulders.
Let's get him over there.
Okay.
Okay.
BP's in freefall.
Okay.
Trauma shears.
HemCon bandage.
Okay.
The chitosan in the gauze will adhere to the red blood cells and form a tight clot very quickly.
How quickly? That quick enough for you? Gauze.
Tape.
All right.
Now' we wrap and velcro the trousers.
Here we go.
Abdominal belt.
Good.
Okay' inflate.
Careful not to puncture the suit with anything sharp.
We don't have a backup.
Okay.
Pressure stopped dropping.
Seventy over palp.
Okay.
lt's working.
Slow down the fluids.
and four more of morphine.
How long will this thing keep him stable for? Let's not find out.
All right.
HANK: Hi' there.
Could you grab this corner? EMT 3: Got it.
HANK: All right' guys.
Let's get him in there.
This is all the help you could scare up? Where's everyone else? Sealing off Montauk Highway for us.
EMT 2: Ready to go' Doc! Nice.
(SlRENS WAlLlNG) EMT: Coming through! ELlZABETH: Whoa' whoa' whoa.
What the hell is this? lt's an emergency' Dr.
Blair.
Can you untangle these' please? Ah.
And you would be Dr.
Lawson.
l am.
And you are Amongst my other duties' l am now acting Chief of Emergency Services.
So' l'll take it from here.
Perfect.
Just pull the plugs to deflate.
Oh' and make sure you don't miss any bleeding vessels during embolization.
Otherwise' you'll be pulling the plug on more than just the suit.
He's all yours.
Maybe you'd better come with us.
Maybe l'd better.
ELlZABETH: Great.
Let's go' guys.
Move it.
All right.
Careful' careful' careful.
Nice job back there.
Yeah? (LAUGHS) You' too.
You want to talk about him? About Spencer? Eddie R.
Uh lt's just lt's complicated family stuff.
Yeah? Well' what would l know about that? (lNHALES DEEPLY) All right.
(EXHALlNG) l started talking to my dad again about a year ago.
He called me on my 30th birthday.
And l hadn't talked to him in 20 years' mind you.
You know what the first thing he said to me was? What? ''How's Hank?'' l'm sorry to hear that.
Yeah.
That's just how he's started every conversation since.
''How's Hank?'' (SlGHlNG) Hmm.
l guess l really needed to tell someone that.
lt says a lot about your father.
Yeah' it says a lot about my brother.
But it says the most about you.
Yeah? What does it say' exactly? That you're caught between your rock and your hard place.
(SlGHlNG) And rather than just trying to squirm out you've been trying to make everything fit together comfortably again.
l guess l really needed someone to tell me that.
Well' don't let it go to your head.
l'm What? (LAUGHlNG) How fast can you get me back to change? l have an important meeting with a young heiress.
lt's nice to have you back.
Well' yeah.
Am l going to be okay? Yeah.
And not just in the short-term.
l was thinking about it.
One of the chemicals Jill found in your dad's lab was mercury.
That's why he had all those old thermostats lying around.
He probably used the mercury to manipulate the gold for some of his experiments.
He was building a next-generation robot' operated by the lnternet.
Which sounds incredibly cool.
Unfortunately' when inhaled in large doses over long periods of time' mercury can cause psychosis.
And kidney failure.
So' it wasn't the mental illness that sent my dad into that room.
No.
lt was the other way around.
That's why he grew increasingly paranoid and distant.
And in smaller doses' exposure can lead to headaches' fatigue' tingling sensations' sleeplessness' and incoordination.
Or in layman's terms' ''spasticity.
'' Yes.
Spasticity.
So' l really am going to be okay? Yeah.
As long as you hire a contractor for all future renovation.
Yes' Doctor.
So' l can contact Dr.
Casseras? You can give it your best shot.
Okay.
lf you reach her' tell her when l look at the roses' l think of Cristobal Square.
She'll know what it means.
Hank.
All right.
(UPBEAT SONG PLAYlNG) (SlGHlNG) l really hope she's good to you.
l'm sure she will be.
l was talking to the car.
(LAUGHS) Bye.
What's with the Johnny Cash fashion tribute? l'm in mourning.
Henrietta.
l just sold the only valuable thing l've ever owned.
Oh.
Well' look on the bright side.
Since you got it for free' you cashed out at 100% profit.
One could argue that l timed the market perfectly' then.
One could' indeed.
One could also argue you've begun to repent for your sin.
(SCOFFS) Ha.
l don't know.
l think sin is a slight exaggeration.
Really? l think it's an understatement.
Shall we agree to disagree? Like we always do.
So' is ''Spencer the Spaz'' going to be all right' or what? Yeah.
Turns out not so spastic after all.
Yeah' the problem was mercury poisoning.
l thought it was that giant door slicing into him like a pinata.
No' l meant Never mind.
Go deep.
All right.
Deeper.
Like old times.
All right.
Deeper.
(SlGHlNG) Hey' kiddo.
Look at you.
What? All right' so it took a little longer than l thought.
lt's still the same shade of green.
