Royal Pains s02e04 Episode Script
Medusa
HANK: Previously, on Royal Pains.
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? To the Hamptons.
Boris Kuester von Jurgens-Ratenicz.
Stay in my guest cottage for the summer.
You can't let go of my hand, can you? No, l can't.
This thing you have, it's genetic.
Quite fatal.
l'd like to start making some calls as your primary care physician.
Yourquarterback.
Where will you start? At the beginning.
Dr.
Marisa Casseras.
Hey! You going somewhere? Boris.
Oh, yeah? Hey, what are you doing? Welcome to Pimp My Handbag, Henry.
What better ad campaign is there than us, right? l even got it monogrammed.
Look, that's your initials right there.
Yeah, you did.
Look, l got one for me, too.
Look, my initials.
And there's more.
Yay.
Huh? And Hank Pops.
You know, for kids.
l like my old-fashioned bag.
Well, you can keep using it.
And l will.
To store your old-fashioned business ideas.
Okay, okay.
l'll use the bag.
''Metropolitan Genetic Testing Associates.
'' Are you still trying to prove that we're not related? ''Boris Kuester '' Give me Did Boris inherit more than a European banking empire, Hank? (SlGHS) So he summoned you to the manor? No, to his winter residence.
l guess that's billionaire speak for the city.
Well, l'm going to the city right now.
You want a ride? Boris sent his car.
To take you to the city? To take me to the airport.
Boris also sent his plane.
What? Sorry, l'll take the bag, but not the baggage.
Boris' Henry.
Please take the baggage.
l will not take the baggage.
Please take the baggage.
You do know Manhattan is, like, 90 miles away, right? lt's gonna be, like, an 1 1-minute flight.
Yeah, only Boris would send a plane to do a helicopter's job.
All right, first of all, let's show some respect here.
lt's not a plane, it's a jet.
Okay.
And secondly, and this is my point, you'll never even know l'm there.
Like (STAMMERlNG) Look, he sent this thing so l could come quickly and go quickly, without any encumbrances.
No offense.
Hank, l have business in the city.
Oh, okay.
l gotta line up this swag for mass production.
Eddie R.
set me up with this guy who works for Scott Megur.
Scott Megur, Megur Merchandising, the promotional powerhouse? Oh, wait, wait, wait.
The Megur Merchandising? Yes.
The Megur Merchan Right.
Yeah.
Hank.
Hank! lf you leave me here, l'm gonna drive anyway.
Let's just jet pool and reduce our carbon footprint.
Think about it, Hank.
You could do the right thing here, or you could kill a polar bear.
All right, don't distract me.
Don't distract the pilot.
And don't show anyone any more HankMed tchotchkes.
Done, done, and done.
And don't do that, either.
Okay.
(CHUCKLlNG) Henry.
What? These seats are made of lambskin.
Oh.
What a relief.
How much do you think this costs? The seat or the plane? Dude, it's a jet.
Ugh.
With that Gentlemen, l can take lunch orders at your convenience.
Oh, thank you very much.
Shouldn't we be landing any minute? Where the hell are we going? Jesus! Did we land on the sun? Close, but no cigar.
Why, you know where we are? We're on a very exclusive island.
That is definitely an acceptable surprise.
HANK: Boris.
Hank.
Welcome to Cuba.
The jet was comfortable, l trust.
Yeah.
Must have been an expensive flight.
Especially the landing in Cuba part.
See? Told you it's called a jet.
Oh! BORlS: l don't want to overtax you, but we'll be heading into town soon, so This is so awesome.
l've wanted to see Cuba my entire life.
So where are we gonna start? Actually, Hank and l will be keeping to our own itinerary, thank you, Mr.
Lawson.
Consuelo.
Okay.
(SPEAKlNG SPANlSH) You Oh, right now? Okay.
Great.
l'll see you guys soon.
Good.
For the record l know you're a busy man, and sometimes l'll have to come to you, but l don't appreciate being renditioned.
Would you have willingly traveled to an embargoed nation, Hank? l guess we'll never know.
You'll be home by Monday.
l took the liberty of finding someone to replace you for the weekend in the Hamptons.
Really? Well, that is quite a liberty.
Doctors typically have some say in who covers for them.
Ours is not a typical situation.
Wouldn't you agree? Okay, let's discuss why l'm here.
l assume it has to do with the Cuban geneticist you saw, Dr.
Casseras.
She's put my markers to good use.
Dr.
Casseras has diagnosed me, Hank.
With what? Well, the naming board is still haggling over what to call it.
But it appears that l'm carrying a rare hereditary mutation in the ninth chromosome of the VCP gene.
Okay, genetics isn't my field, Boris.
lt means that one day, perhaps quite soon, my muscles will turn to jelly and my bones will become breadsticks.
Fortunately, once the dementia sets in, l'll be too oblivious to mind any of that.
But you didn't fly all the way down here just so she could tell you that.
No, l flew down here because she has a clinical trial for a very promising protocol.
Huh.
All right, well, in order to be cleared for something like that, you'd need a careful and thorough evaluation.
And that's why l'm here.
Blood tests, bone scans, cardiovascular evaluations.
The kind of fun l wouldn't want to enjoy without you, Hank.
l'm honored.
Let's get started.
Hi.
Uh, did you have an appointment? l have a few.
Dr.
Emily Peck.
Okay.
l'm Dr.
Lawson's replacement.
Replacement? (LAUGHS) Why would he need replacing? You must be Divya.
(SlGHS) Boris hired you? Mmm-hmm.
But Hank's just in New York for the day.
All l know is, l'm in this job for the weekend.
So Should we get started? Since we're already lagging.
Uh Lagging? When you're early, you're on time.
When you're on time, you're late.
And when you're late, you're fired.
At least, that's my philosophy.
(PHONE BEEPlNG) What is that? That is the sound of being majorly outside our coverage area.
l know.
ls he gonna be all right? That's what l've been brought down here against my will to determine.
l'm really sad right now.
Why? l thought we were gonna conquer this place together.
l was looking forward to it, you know.
Like take a dip in the ocean, maybe score some cigars.
Maybe sign a couple future Yankee shortstops or something.
l don't know.
l guess l'm on a solo mission.
l'd try not to use words like ''conquer'' and ''mission.
'' This is a police state with no diplomatic ties to America.
That was You sound like a Tom Clancy novel.
You read a Tom Clancy novel? l saw the movie.
Hmm.
Gotta go.
No international incidents, please.
Mmm-hmm.
EVAN: This is great.
So l'm loving the culture, mi amigo.
ls there a beach on this island, though? Beach? Beach, uh Agua grande.
(PEOPLE CHATTERlNG) Scuba, senor? Scuba? Si.
Si.
All right, yeah.
Scuba.
No, no.
What? No credit? ls it 'cause it's American Express? No, no, no.
(SPEAKlNG SPANlSH) l don't have any No English? Here.
Dos.
(BOTH SPEAKlNG SPANlSH) Okay.
Hey.
Did you just pay for me? Si.
What Gracias, very muchas.
Uh, you're welcome, muchas.
l'm Mindy.
Evan.
You're American? Canadian.
Really? Hmm.
Oh, l thought your people were more into ice fishing than scuba diving.
Well, l thought your people had tons of cash that you just carried around with you.
(LAUGHlNG) l actually flew in on short notice, a business trip.
What brings you down here? Well, lucky for you, my friends are lame, and they decided that it was too sunny today not to work on their tan.
They're gonna scuba tomorrow.
So, you get to be my dive buddy.
Well.
Lucky for you, l'm available.
Great, okay.
Shall we? Yeah.
Huh.
BORlS: Twenty laboratories, working in five major sections of genetic study.
HANK: You seem to know a lot about this place.
Ah! Dr.
Casseras.
May l introduce Dr.
Lawson.
Ah, it's nice to finally meet you, Doctor.
l called from New York and left a few voice mails, but never heard back.
Nothing personal.
lt's harder to call the US than to swim there.
Huh.
This is a very impressive facility.
You sound surprised.
No, not surprised.
Just lmpressed.
Well, l must thank you for encouraging Boris to pursue genetic testing as a road to diagnosis.
That's true, Hank.
lf it weren't for you, l wouldn't be here.
But l must say, l did not expect to find you here with him.
Oh, l'm only here to do his workup.
Hank was just drawing some blood.
But we're more than capable of doing the workup.
lt is, after all, our study.
Dr.
Lawson is my medical quarterback, so (SPEAKlNG SPANlSH) We both know you don't need my permission.
So Welcome to the team, Dr.
Quarterback.
Uh, Dr.
Casseras.
You mind if l review your protocol? l think she likes me.
Hmm.
(BOTH CHATTERlNG) (CAMERA CLlCKlNG) EMlLY: Thank you, Countess.
Okay.
Take care.
You, too! Bye, darling.
l can turn on the radio, if you want.
Sorry, did you say something? l'd be happy to play some music.
Oh, it's not music.
lt's my podcast.
You produce your own podcast? Welcome to the medicine of tomorrow.
Sorry to bother you.
l was just wondering when l might get that blood work back.
l will do my best to expedite it for you.
Thank you so much.
Congratulations.
You're lucky to have a generous man like Boris as a benefactor.
l understand why you would be suspicious.
As an American.
l know that, where you're from, hope is often sold to the highest bidder.
That is not how it works here.
Not in this country.
And certainly not in this building.
l'm not suspicious as an American, just interested as a doctor.
Hmm.
Have you read my protocol? l'm still, uh, getting through it.
Mmm-hmm.
Genetics is not your domain.
No, it's not.
But l have to make sure Boris doesn't endanger his life by trying to save it.
That's my domain.
(SlGHlNG) That was incredible.
Which part? The fish or the caves or the coral reef? Well, the best part for me was by far when your top came off.
(LAUGHlNG) And yet, l felt pretty comfortable with you down there.
That's good.
You know, l am a creature of the ocean.
Yeah? Yeah, l live in the Hamptons.
Uh-huh.
(COUGHlNG) That's hot.
Thank you.
(MAN SHOUTlNG lN SPANlSH) What is he saying? Medusa? l don't know That there's a mythical Greek gorgon in the water? What is There's a giant jellyfish right there.
What? What? That's a man-of-war! Quick! Quick! (MEN CHATTERlNG lN SPANlSH) MAN: You got it? (PANTlNG) Okay.
Oh, my God.
Oh! Oh, God! Oh, God! EVAN: Did l just sustain a scuba diving injury? On the boat? He should be here any second.
Don't worry, Evan.
You're gonna be okay.
There he is.
Hey.
Hey.
Thank God.
Okay, this is Mindy, my diving buddy.
Hi, Mindy.
What happened to him? (STAMMERlNG) l accidentally whacked him with my tank.
There was a lot of blood.
Did he lose consciousness? No.
Any Any nausea? No, it's just a crap load of pain.
All right, let me see.
(GRUNTlNG) Come here.
Any pain here? No, no, no, it's just around the hole in my head.
Look.
Oh, okay.
Follow my finger, please.
Good.
Okay, now, let's see that cut.
(lNHALES SHARPLY) Okay.
Huh.
These aren't the gloves and suturing kit l was hoping to find.
That's why l monogrammed the bags.
Great.
Okay.
Good.
Uh l need that beach bag.
Thank you.
All right, sorry, bro.
You're gonna get a little wet again.
That's all right.
Ooh.
(GROANlNG) That burns.
What are you doing? lt's called ''the hat trick.
'' l'm gonna twist hairs on both sides of the laceration to make braids.
Do you really think this is the right time for me to get my hair did, huh? lt's to close up your wound.
(EXCLAlMlNG lN PAlN) All right, Mindy, can you hold down this braid for me? Can you stop calling them braids, please? That's what they are.
Okay.
Thank you.
Mother (EXCLAlMlNG) Okay, all right.
There we go.
Wow.
That was impressive.
MlNDY: And the wound's gonna heal like that? Within 10 days, it should, yeah.
l'm guessing we can't say the same for my martyred beach bag.
(LAUGHlNG) Sorry about that.
Oh, Evan, l'm so sorry.
Can l Can l take you for a drink or something to make it up to you? Sure, yeah.
That sounds like reasonable compensation.
Actually, blunt force trauma and alcohol don't mix.
Sorry, bro.
Oh, well, at least you have a note from your doctor.
Well, if we ever meet again, though, like in Saskatchewan or Winnipeg or something, it's on.
Okay.
Bye.
Sorry.
Bye.
No, no, it's cool.
Nice to meet you guys.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
Come on.
Diagnosis, lateral epicondylitis, period.
Treatment, sling, naprosyn, Signed, Emily Dr.
Peck.
Here's what you need to know about our next patient, Alan Ryder.
He can be A handful.
He's impatient and squeamish and Period.
You went to Herricks? Mmm-hmm.
Wheatley.
Well, l assumed, what with the oversized contemporary mansion and all.
Hey, my dad made his own money, and he made me make my own, too.
Mmm-hmm.
Hope you followed that logic.
Might be a little complex for a Herricks grad.
(LAUGHlNG) Sorry to interrupt, but shall we get down to the business at hand? My migraines haven't gone away.
Have they changed in character since Dr.
Lawson saw you last? No.
But the medicine he prescribed only helped a little, and my wife's out of town, so no one is here to massage my temples.
Okay, well, let's explore this further.
Open wide.
Ah! That's great.
Okay.
(BEEPlNG) Sixteen point zero.
Order an MRl.
l also want a CBC, a SMAC-7, and an ESR.
l want to rule out temporal arteritis.
He's had these migraines for years.
l mean, why waste his time and money? Mr.
Ryder, you need to give the lnderal a real chance to work.
Alan, l believe in aggressive diagnostics.
lt saves time in the long run, helps you sleep better along the way.
So, we will call you and schedule those tests.
Okay.
Thank you.
Okay.
And before we leave Fill this up.
Hand it to Divya when you're done.
EVAN: Dinner was so good, Boris.
Thank you so much.
HANK: Yeah, thanks.
BORlS: People come from all over for that congri.
Yeah? You guys looked like you were enjoying your mojitos even more.
l think l'm the only person in the Caribbean on a cocktail ban.
Oh, sorry, Ev.
Like, who knows how far things could have gone with that girl? She was She was Canadian, Hank.
She was Canadian.
Yeah, l don't know what that means.
He's had his trouble with girls.
Who has not? So, where are we going exactly? l want to show you something.
l've lived on your property for weeks, and we've never shared a meal.
One night in Cuba, and we're taking a post-supper stroll.
l feel a powerful connection with this place.
Maybe because it's one of the few places l can walk around without bodyguards and Or maybe it's because Cuba and l are so alike.
How so? We're both waiting for the news that will change everything.
l understand how hopeful this diagnosis has made you.
What do you think of Dr.
Casseras' clinical trial? l support early-phase studies, and what l see so far is impressive.
l just need to finish my due diligence.
That is why l'm here, isn't it? Estobar Square.
This is what l wanted you to see.
(LATlN MUSlC PLAYlNG) Huh.
What's Marisa handing out? Broad-spectrum antibiotics.
Cefixime, doxycycline, azithromycin The shipment my father signed for.
Yeah, the one l informed you was not for my personal use.
That was right before you scolded me, l believe.
Yes, Richie, l know.
But l hired you to sell my house, not to give it away.
Problematic realtor? Yes.
You want to talk about it? Not even a little.
So what brings you by? Uh, well, l was l was just dropping off some lab work.
Figured l'd stop in.
To say hi.
Hi.
Do you know Dr.
Emily Peck? Hmm.
Doesn't ring a bell.
She just sort of came out of nowhere.
Huh.
No one comes out of nowhere.
Okay.
Dr.
Emily Peck, MD.
Uh, Princeton undergrad.
Finished third in her class at Johns Hopkins.
Merit scholarship winner.
Student board member, Amnesty lnternational.
You want l should go on? No.
l've got the picture.
Thanks.
Does she want to buy a house? (LATlN MUSlC PLAYlNG) (PEOPLE CHATTERlNG) She is smoking.
Like a Cohiba.
Yeah, nicely played, Boris.
Whoa.
ls Boris in a long-distance relationship? HANK: Yeah.
With the woman trying to save his life.
Oh.
l thought that was you.
Mmm, the benefits of concierge medicine.
We should do all the tests.
Right here in the hacienda, no? Any questions before l begin? No, l've had muscle biopsies before, Hank.
Okay.
Something's on your mind.
lt's the last test.
You have to pass.
There's a lot at stake here.
Yeah.
Additionally, you saw me dance with Marisa last night.
lt's raised some concerns for you.
Since you brought it up Yes, it did.
And while we're making a list, l'm not wild about the fact that you're funding her research, either.
But maybe you feel none of that is my business.
Perhaps that's exactly how l feel.
My sister works in the factory, it's true.
l don't believe Prove it.
Mmm-hmm.
Oh, my God.
(LAUGHlNG) l feel like l just opened the Ark of the Covenant.
Like, l feel like if l were a Nazi, my face would be melting off right now.
Um, Raiders of the Lost Ark.
''l throw you the whip, you throw me the idol.
'' l get it.
Yeah.
Wow, nice.
Okay My friend.
How many pesos? Don't you have dollars? MlNDY: Evan! Hey.
Okay, uh, dude, last time l saw this girl, l ended up with a purse on my head.
Doesn't matter, but l need to man up right now, and l have to impress her, so if you know of a place l could Oh, hey.
La Arena Y El Mar.
Great music place by the beach.
Women love it, and my sister Carmen runs the bar there.
Thank you so much.
You just said your sister works at a cigar factory.
l have many sisters.
Okay.
All right.
Don't go anywhere.
La Arena Y El Mar.
La Arena Y El Mar.
Thanks, dude.
Hi.
l was hoping l'd see you again.
You look so much better.
Uh, l'm so sorry.
Do l know you? 'Cause Ugh, this is so weird.
Due to a thunderous blow to the head yesterday, l'm suffering from memory loss.
lt's me, Mindy.
Mindy.
That's a really nice name.
Mindy.
Mindy, Mindy Canadian? (BOTH LAUGHlNG) Mindy! Come over here.
So, how about, like, an authentic Cuban bar tonight? l'm sorry, l l'd love to, but l My friends and l have to do this thing and Oh.
Okay.
Well, what l like things, if Sorry, l gotta go.
Sorry.
Good to see you, though.
Uh, La Arena Y El Mar is the name of the club.
lf you're near the beach.
Or not.
Okay, so Sorry, what was your name? Oscar.
Oscar, all right.
Let me see how much money l have.
Or don't have, for that matter.
You're a doctor? Why, would you charge me even more if l was? (SlGHlNG) Okay This is my final offer, and l'm only doing this because you're familiar with lndiana Jones.
You want to trade a phone for cigars? Are you kidding me? This has a 3.
8 inch touch screen display Oh Five-megapixel camera, of processing power, and if you don't want it, the offer ends in 10, nine, eight Okay, okay, okay.
Thank you.
(THANKlNG lN SPANlSH) lt's been a pleasure.
Walk away, walk away.
Go.
Hurry.
Your MRl showed no sign of aneurysm, inflammation, or hydrocephalus.
So, all tumors are ruled out.
Everything is normal.
l don't feel normal.
l have this relentless pain l can't get rid of.
Do you understand what that's like? Yes, l believe l do.
Yeah, unfortunately, tension migraines take several days to pass.
These injections should help.
Botox for headaches? EMlLY: lt's called lndelaTox.
Like Botox, but even better.
Why stop there? Maybe you could cure my gas with a tummy tuck.
(LAUGHS) lt's unorthodox.
But, trust me, it works.
Yeah, nothing says pain relief like getting jammed with a needle.
Whoa! lsn't the forehead injection for wrinkles? No.
No.
That's part of the migraine treatment.
But since you asked You still have about 50 units left.
You want me to erase some of those fine lines? DlVYA: Not to contradict Dr.
Peck, but HankMed does not do or recommend cosmetic procedures.
When you look good, you feel good, right? lt is totally your call.
Go easy, doc.
l don't want to get mistaken for Mickey Rourke.
EMlLY: Okay.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hank! Your lab results.
They just arrived from the lnstitute.
And? You're considered a strong candidate for the clinical trial.
Good.
(SPEAKlNG SPANlSH) So We schedule the bone marrow aspiration for tomorrow? Whoa.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
l like aspirating bone marrow as much as the next guy, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Well, the first step is stem cell extraction, yeah? For the trial, yes.
But my first step would be to locate and interview past participants.
All three of them? Look, l found similar studies in Europe.
We should do private reviews.
And l want to follow standard protocol and enlist a research committee to assess this trial Protocol, committee Hank, what you're talking about will take weeks, months.
No, l brought you down here to To protect you.
My plan will do that.
Without the same risk of infection, stroke, heart and kidney failure.
The list goes on and on.
Boris, it was only a few weeks ago you nearly went blind pursuing an ill-advised treatment That was fear.
This is medicine.
Which is why l'm not saying don't do this.
l'm just saying don't do this now.
Your levels are okay.
You're not symptomatic.
You feel fine.
Participating in this unproven trial could change all that.
And this time, l won't be here to help.
Look, you've already outlived your father and your grandfather.
You're ahead of the game.
Let's keep you there.
Well, your plan is thorough and reasonable.
lt makes sense.
Thank you, Hank.
Sure.
Okay.
(UPBEAT MUSlC PLAYlNG) So l don't want to worry you, but there's a slight possibility that the Cuban government might be following me.
Yeah, l can't imagine anyone showing that level of interest in you.
l l have to pee.
Okay.
Watch my back.
l'm watching it.
(SPEAKlNG SPANlSH) Hi.
l was hoping you'd say that.
Oh.
You were staring at me.
l was hoping you'd notice that.
You're American.
And it's come between us already.
Do you want something to drink? Where l'm from, the man buys, so Yeah.
What will it be? Okay, uh Mojitos.
(SPEAKlNG SPANlSH) Okay, look, so l know that you just want to decompress or whatever, okay? Okay.
But this is our last night on a beautiful island.
We're probably never gonna be here again, right? We have a few hours for all the hedonism we can manage under a communist regime.
Okay.
Let's enjoy this.
What What? Yeah.
Compliments from the woman who was checking you out earlier.
Well, that's very nice.
You'll have to thank her for me.
Dude, who was checking you out? To sending ourselves off, Cubano style.
Yeah, um Godspeed, and good luck.
Wait, wait, wait.
You're leaving? Sorry, bro.
Canada's calling.
Doctor! Oh, no, l'm not a doctor.
Susie needs your help.
What What is it? Come on.
l cannot believe this is happening.
EVAN: What did she do? lt's what she had done.
Chin implants, neck lipo.
breast lift.
Everything that needed to be fixed.
This third-world butcher totally screwed her up.
Will she be okay? Her pulse rate's over 1 20.
Low-grade fever.
Any pain here? (GROANlNG) Okay, move over.
Move over.
Get in, guys, get in.
(SPEAKlNG SPANlSH) Through there.
Dr.
Jose Avila.
Dr.
Hank Lawson.
(SPEAKlNG SPANlSH) SUSlE: (GASPlNG) lt hurts to breathe.
(SPEAKlNG SPANlSH) For a pulmonary embolism? Wouldn't you rather get a CT angiogram? Oh, you speak English Okay.
Uh, yeah, a CT angiogram.
That's perfect.
SUSlE: No.
This is as far as l can go, Susie.
No, please, Hank.
Stay with me.
Don't Look, l don't have any privileges here.
Please, Susie, just let them help.
Relatives are allowed, right? Hank's her fourth cousin.
By marriage.
A couple times removed.
lt works for me.
Let's go.
Great, nice.
Thank you.
Let's go! CT images show no clot.
(SPEAKlNG SPANlSH) Your medical Spanish is very good.
Comes with the territory when you work in a Brooklyn hospital.
Her surgery records.
l don't see any complications.
No, but there's still a chance of a peripheral blood clot or Ml.
(COUGHlNG VlGOROUSLY) Susie You okay? (COUGHlNG CONTlNUES) You're warm to the touch.
Yeah, my whole upper body's burning up.
Okay.
lt looks like the anesthesiologist increased oxygenation towards the end of the procedure.
Susie, have you been scuba diving? This morning.
How many hours before the surgery? At least six.
Does that matter? You have decompression sickness.
AKA the bends.
lt's what happens when divers surface too quickly.
See, nitrogen bubbles form in the blood and tissue.
My guess is that you didn't do a proper safety stop at the end of your dive.
l got separated from the group and came up on my own.
l don't understand.
l felt fine all day.
lt can take several hours for symptoms like this rash to appear.
What you need now is an oxygen treatment.
Where's the closest hyperbaric chamber? Second floor.
Okay, let's go.
(MEN SHOUTlNG lN SPANlSH) (GLASS SHATTERlNG) Hey.
Oh! Oh, hi.
Your brother said Susie's gonna be okay, so thank you.
l don't know what l did, but you're very welcome.
And l'm very sorry for being so vague.
They made Susie sign something.
You must think l'm a total nut job.
No.
Um, l mean, most women run away after they've gotten to know me, not before.
So, yeah, l just assumed that you kind of lost interest.
Well, l figured, ''There's no way this guy could like me.
''l mean, l almost cracked his skull open ''and now he's wearing ''part of a tote bag on his head.
'' Whoa.
Well, you see, l loved your story until you mentioned the word ''tote.
'' Let's talk about more important things.
Yes, let's.
Like what? Susie's gonna be resting for a few days, and Kerry can keep an eye on her.
So, l'm gonna have some free time.
You know, we could (SlGHlNG) Go zip lining or horseback riding.
Or we could start a revolution.
(SlGHlNG) l leave in the morning.
Can't change your flight? l doubt it.
Technically, l'm not even here, anyway.
Well, then, technically, this never happened.
Yeah.
Ah! The younger son also rises.
(WHlSPERlNG) Oh, dude, you have no idea.
Why are you whispering? So sorry l can't stay for break Oh! Hi, Hank.
Mindy.
Cute shirt.
Thanks.
Mmm-hmm.
Cute brother.
Thanks.
You slut.
Actually, l'll have you know, Mindy and l had a very meaningful vacationship.
A vacationship? Apparently it's a relationship with no strings and no small talk.
Her suggestion.
l was amenable.
When in Cuba, l guess.
Speaking of, the plane awaits.
l'm sorry, l mean the jet.
Nice.
(STAMMERS) l wish l had a little bit more time.
More time in bed? Yeah, in bed, in Cuba, with Mindy.
l'm l'm Why am l going back again? Because, contrary to public perception, you have a job.
Ah, God, l hate when you're right.
But you'll always have the memories.
(CLlCKlNG) l hope you framed out my trauma wound.
l didn't.
Get dressed, Ev.
We gotta go, now.
Whoa, wait, wait.
Whoa, whoa.
Okay l just had a vision.
We're not starting a HankMed franchise down here.
l need to trade your phone for another box of Montecristos.
Oh, how many cigars can you smoke? They're not for me.
They're for our top 10 clients.
Megur Merchandising can probably create a little cigar band that says HankMed on it.
You want to market our healthcare business using illegal carcinogens? No, l want to reward our most loyal patients using a status symbol.
My cell phone is not legal tender.
Yes, it is.
ln fact, okay, look.
But l'm gonna buy you a new phone the second we get back.
Don't let Boris leave without me.
l love you.
l'm a doctor.
l need a phone.
(BORlS SlGHlNG) What You changed your mind.
No, Hank, l made a decision.
(SPEAKlNG SPANlSH) What happened to my plan being thorough, reasonable, and making sense? lt was, but Marisa's plan also made sense.
So, l had to make a choice.
Follow her advice and increase the risk, or follow your advice and delay the benefit.
l chose to do something as opposed to wait for something.
You know me by now, Hank.
You're not really surprised, are you? What l am is concerned.
Stay here, then, through the clinical trial.
Monitor my reactions and allay your concerns.
l'm sorry.
l won't assist a course of treatment l don't yet support.
We need to talk! l will not convince him to quit my trial, to postpone his treatment until you feel comfortable with it.
Look, it's clear you still love him.
l wrote him for many years after he left.
He never answered my letters.
Now, thanks to you, l am his doctor again.
ls it ideal? No.
But l can help him.
We can both help him.
Together.
lt seems like he's already made his choice.
l think he has a new quarterback.
Goodbye, Dr.
Lawson.
(CAR ENGlNE STARTlNG) (DOOR CLOSlNG) Hank.
Finally.
Oh, l can't stay.
l just l'm playing doubles with Alan and his wife at the Maidstone.
l wanted to give you that.
Oh, and by the way, Alan feels better.
And younger, too.
l don't transcribe patients' notes.
Hank likes to handle that himself.
Oh, you, him, whoever.
l just need a hard copy and the recorder back by 5:00.
Oh, and l forgot.
What could this possibly be for? For the next time you guys need backup.
You can call me direct.
Dr.
Peck Schmoozing patients and pushing spa treatments on them are simply not hallmarks of being professional.
And professionalism is what this thing is all about.
So, thank you.
But if l were you, l wouldn't wait by the phone.
l shouldn't keep the Ryders waiting.
HANK: l like your ride, by the way.
BORlS: Oh, it's an efficient means of transport.
Well, time is important to you.
Time is important to everyone, Hank.
But, yes, it's especially important to me.
l'm sorry you won't be staying.
l'm sorry you won't be leaving.
But l hope you're right, and that everything works out.
l really do.
l don't know how long this will take or when l'll be back, but l'll Keep you posted.
Good.
And l'll keep searching.
A cure is out there.
You know, if not here, somewhere.
And if you need anything, just Don't worry.
l'll have you renditioned.
Again.
Adiós, Hank.
Adiós.
Good morning, Dr.
Lawson.
Good morning.
Something to drink? Uh, just water, thanks, Ria.
Sure.
Hey, have you seen my brother? You're the first to arrive.
Hey, uh (SPEAKlNG SPANlSH) Oscar, uh, he's a tall guy.
Red hair.
(TlRES SCREECHlNG) (SPEAKlNG SPANlSH) Whoa! Okay, okay.
Guys, guys.
(MAN SPEAKlNG SPANlSH) EVAN: You don't have to do this, okay?
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? To the Hamptons.
Boris Kuester von Jurgens-Ratenicz.
Stay in my guest cottage for the summer.
You can't let go of my hand, can you? No, l can't.
This thing you have, it's genetic.
Quite fatal.
l'd like to start making some calls as your primary care physician.
Yourquarterback.
Where will you start? At the beginning.
Dr.
Marisa Casseras.
Hey! You going somewhere? Boris.
Oh, yeah? Hey, what are you doing? Welcome to Pimp My Handbag, Henry.
What better ad campaign is there than us, right? l even got it monogrammed.
Look, that's your initials right there.
Yeah, you did.
Look, l got one for me, too.
Look, my initials.
And there's more.
Yay.
Huh? And Hank Pops.
You know, for kids.
l like my old-fashioned bag.
Well, you can keep using it.
And l will.
To store your old-fashioned business ideas.
Okay, okay.
l'll use the bag.
''Metropolitan Genetic Testing Associates.
'' Are you still trying to prove that we're not related? ''Boris Kuester '' Give me Did Boris inherit more than a European banking empire, Hank? (SlGHS) So he summoned you to the manor? No, to his winter residence.
l guess that's billionaire speak for the city.
Well, l'm going to the city right now.
You want a ride? Boris sent his car.
To take you to the city? To take me to the airport.
Boris also sent his plane.
What? Sorry, l'll take the bag, but not the baggage.
Boris' Henry.
Please take the baggage.
l will not take the baggage.
Please take the baggage.
You do know Manhattan is, like, 90 miles away, right? lt's gonna be, like, an 1 1-minute flight.
Yeah, only Boris would send a plane to do a helicopter's job.
All right, first of all, let's show some respect here.
lt's not a plane, it's a jet.
Okay.
And secondly, and this is my point, you'll never even know l'm there.
Like (STAMMERlNG) Look, he sent this thing so l could come quickly and go quickly, without any encumbrances.
No offense.
Hank, l have business in the city.
Oh, okay.
l gotta line up this swag for mass production.
Eddie R.
set me up with this guy who works for Scott Megur.
Scott Megur, Megur Merchandising, the promotional powerhouse? Oh, wait, wait, wait.
The Megur Merchandising? Yes.
The Megur Merchan Right.
Yeah.
Hank.
Hank! lf you leave me here, l'm gonna drive anyway.
Let's just jet pool and reduce our carbon footprint.
Think about it, Hank.
You could do the right thing here, or you could kill a polar bear.
All right, don't distract me.
Don't distract the pilot.
And don't show anyone any more HankMed tchotchkes.
Done, done, and done.
And don't do that, either.
Okay.
(CHUCKLlNG) Henry.
What? These seats are made of lambskin.
Oh.
What a relief.
How much do you think this costs? The seat or the plane? Dude, it's a jet.
Ugh.
With that Gentlemen, l can take lunch orders at your convenience.
Oh, thank you very much.
Shouldn't we be landing any minute? Where the hell are we going? Jesus! Did we land on the sun? Close, but no cigar.
Why, you know where we are? We're on a very exclusive island.
That is definitely an acceptable surprise.
HANK: Boris.
Hank.
Welcome to Cuba.
The jet was comfortable, l trust.
Yeah.
Must have been an expensive flight.
Especially the landing in Cuba part.
See? Told you it's called a jet.
Oh! BORlS: l don't want to overtax you, but we'll be heading into town soon, so This is so awesome.
l've wanted to see Cuba my entire life.
So where are we gonna start? Actually, Hank and l will be keeping to our own itinerary, thank you, Mr.
Lawson.
Consuelo.
Okay.
(SPEAKlNG SPANlSH) You Oh, right now? Okay.
Great.
l'll see you guys soon.
Good.
For the record l know you're a busy man, and sometimes l'll have to come to you, but l don't appreciate being renditioned.
Would you have willingly traveled to an embargoed nation, Hank? l guess we'll never know.
You'll be home by Monday.
l took the liberty of finding someone to replace you for the weekend in the Hamptons.
Really? Well, that is quite a liberty.
Doctors typically have some say in who covers for them.
Ours is not a typical situation.
Wouldn't you agree? Okay, let's discuss why l'm here.
l assume it has to do with the Cuban geneticist you saw, Dr.
Casseras.
She's put my markers to good use.
Dr.
Casseras has diagnosed me, Hank.
With what? Well, the naming board is still haggling over what to call it.
But it appears that l'm carrying a rare hereditary mutation in the ninth chromosome of the VCP gene.
Okay, genetics isn't my field, Boris.
lt means that one day, perhaps quite soon, my muscles will turn to jelly and my bones will become breadsticks.
Fortunately, once the dementia sets in, l'll be too oblivious to mind any of that.
But you didn't fly all the way down here just so she could tell you that.
No, l flew down here because she has a clinical trial for a very promising protocol.
Huh.
All right, well, in order to be cleared for something like that, you'd need a careful and thorough evaluation.
And that's why l'm here.
Blood tests, bone scans, cardiovascular evaluations.
The kind of fun l wouldn't want to enjoy without you, Hank.
l'm honored.
Let's get started.
Hi.
Uh, did you have an appointment? l have a few.
Dr.
Emily Peck.
Okay.
l'm Dr.
Lawson's replacement.
Replacement? (LAUGHS) Why would he need replacing? You must be Divya.
(SlGHS) Boris hired you? Mmm-hmm.
But Hank's just in New York for the day.
All l know is, l'm in this job for the weekend.
So Should we get started? Since we're already lagging.
Uh Lagging? When you're early, you're on time.
When you're on time, you're late.
And when you're late, you're fired.
At least, that's my philosophy.
(PHONE BEEPlNG) What is that? That is the sound of being majorly outside our coverage area.
l know.
ls he gonna be all right? That's what l've been brought down here against my will to determine.
l'm really sad right now.
Why? l thought we were gonna conquer this place together.
l was looking forward to it, you know.
Like take a dip in the ocean, maybe score some cigars.
Maybe sign a couple future Yankee shortstops or something.
l don't know.
l guess l'm on a solo mission.
l'd try not to use words like ''conquer'' and ''mission.
'' This is a police state with no diplomatic ties to America.
That was You sound like a Tom Clancy novel.
You read a Tom Clancy novel? l saw the movie.
Hmm.
Gotta go.
No international incidents, please.
Mmm-hmm.
EVAN: This is great.
So l'm loving the culture, mi amigo.
ls there a beach on this island, though? Beach? Beach, uh Agua grande.
(PEOPLE CHATTERlNG) Scuba, senor? Scuba? Si.
Si.
All right, yeah.
Scuba.
No, no.
What? No credit? ls it 'cause it's American Express? No, no, no.
(SPEAKlNG SPANlSH) l don't have any No English? Here.
Dos.
(BOTH SPEAKlNG SPANlSH) Okay.
Hey.
Did you just pay for me? Si.
What Gracias, very muchas.
Uh, you're welcome, muchas.
l'm Mindy.
Evan.
You're American? Canadian.
Really? Hmm.
Oh, l thought your people were more into ice fishing than scuba diving.
Well, l thought your people had tons of cash that you just carried around with you.
(LAUGHlNG) l actually flew in on short notice, a business trip.
What brings you down here? Well, lucky for you, my friends are lame, and they decided that it was too sunny today not to work on their tan.
They're gonna scuba tomorrow.
So, you get to be my dive buddy.
Well.
Lucky for you, l'm available.
Great, okay.
Shall we? Yeah.
Huh.
BORlS: Twenty laboratories, working in five major sections of genetic study.
HANK: You seem to know a lot about this place.
Ah! Dr.
Casseras.
May l introduce Dr.
Lawson.
Ah, it's nice to finally meet you, Doctor.
l called from New York and left a few voice mails, but never heard back.
Nothing personal.
lt's harder to call the US than to swim there.
Huh.
This is a very impressive facility.
You sound surprised.
No, not surprised.
Just lmpressed.
Well, l must thank you for encouraging Boris to pursue genetic testing as a road to diagnosis.
That's true, Hank.
lf it weren't for you, l wouldn't be here.
But l must say, l did not expect to find you here with him.
Oh, l'm only here to do his workup.
Hank was just drawing some blood.
But we're more than capable of doing the workup.
lt is, after all, our study.
Dr.
Lawson is my medical quarterback, so (SPEAKlNG SPANlSH) We both know you don't need my permission.
So Welcome to the team, Dr.
Quarterback.
Uh, Dr.
Casseras.
You mind if l review your protocol? l think she likes me.
Hmm.
(BOTH CHATTERlNG) (CAMERA CLlCKlNG) EMlLY: Thank you, Countess.
Okay.
Take care.
You, too! Bye, darling.
l can turn on the radio, if you want.
Sorry, did you say something? l'd be happy to play some music.
Oh, it's not music.
lt's my podcast.
You produce your own podcast? Welcome to the medicine of tomorrow.
Sorry to bother you.
l was just wondering when l might get that blood work back.
l will do my best to expedite it for you.
Thank you so much.
Congratulations.
You're lucky to have a generous man like Boris as a benefactor.
l understand why you would be suspicious.
As an American.
l know that, where you're from, hope is often sold to the highest bidder.
That is not how it works here.
Not in this country.
And certainly not in this building.
l'm not suspicious as an American, just interested as a doctor.
Hmm.
Have you read my protocol? l'm still, uh, getting through it.
Mmm-hmm.
Genetics is not your domain.
No, it's not.
But l have to make sure Boris doesn't endanger his life by trying to save it.
That's my domain.
(SlGHlNG) That was incredible.
Which part? The fish or the caves or the coral reef? Well, the best part for me was by far when your top came off.
(LAUGHlNG) And yet, l felt pretty comfortable with you down there.
That's good.
You know, l am a creature of the ocean.
Yeah? Yeah, l live in the Hamptons.
Uh-huh.
(COUGHlNG) That's hot.
Thank you.
(MAN SHOUTlNG lN SPANlSH) What is he saying? Medusa? l don't know That there's a mythical Greek gorgon in the water? What is There's a giant jellyfish right there.
What? What? That's a man-of-war! Quick! Quick! (MEN CHATTERlNG lN SPANlSH) MAN: You got it? (PANTlNG) Okay.
Oh, my God.
Oh! Oh, God! Oh, God! EVAN: Did l just sustain a scuba diving injury? On the boat? He should be here any second.
Don't worry, Evan.
You're gonna be okay.
There he is.
Hey.
Hey.
Thank God.
Okay, this is Mindy, my diving buddy.
Hi, Mindy.
What happened to him? (STAMMERlNG) l accidentally whacked him with my tank.
There was a lot of blood.
Did he lose consciousness? No.
Any Any nausea? No, it's just a crap load of pain.
All right, let me see.
(GRUNTlNG) Come here.
Any pain here? No, no, no, it's just around the hole in my head.
Look.
Oh, okay.
Follow my finger, please.
Good.
Okay, now, let's see that cut.
(lNHALES SHARPLY) Okay.
Huh.
These aren't the gloves and suturing kit l was hoping to find.
That's why l monogrammed the bags.
Great.
Okay.
Good.
Uh l need that beach bag.
Thank you.
All right, sorry, bro.
You're gonna get a little wet again.
That's all right.
Ooh.
(GROANlNG) That burns.
What are you doing? lt's called ''the hat trick.
'' l'm gonna twist hairs on both sides of the laceration to make braids.
Do you really think this is the right time for me to get my hair did, huh? lt's to close up your wound.
(EXCLAlMlNG lN PAlN) All right, Mindy, can you hold down this braid for me? Can you stop calling them braids, please? That's what they are.
Okay.
Thank you.
Mother (EXCLAlMlNG) Okay, all right.
There we go.
Wow.
That was impressive.
MlNDY: And the wound's gonna heal like that? Within 10 days, it should, yeah.
l'm guessing we can't say the same for my martyred beach bag.
(LAUGHlNG) Sorry about that.
Oh, Evan, l'm so sorry.
Can l Can l take you for a drink or something to make it up to you? Sure, yeah.
That sounds like reasonable compensation.
Actually, blunt force trauma and alcohol don't mix.
Sorry, bro.
Oh, well, at least you have a note from your doctor.
Well, if we ever meet again, though, like in Saskatchewan or Winnipeg or something, it's on.
Okay.
Bye.
Sorry.
Bye.
No, no, it's cool.
Nice to meet you guys.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
Come on.

He can be A handful.
He's impatient and squeamish and Period.
You went to Herricks? Mmm-hmm.
Wheatley.
Well, l assumed, what with the oversized contemporary mansion and all.
Hey, my dad made his own money, and he made me make my own, too.
Mmm-hmm.
Hope you followed that logic.
Might be a little complex for a Herricks grad.
(LAUGHlNG) Sorry to interrupt, but shall we get down to the business at hand? My migraines haven't gone away.
Have they changed in character since Dr.
Lawson saw you last? No.
But the medicine he prescribed only helped a little, and my wife's out of town, so no one is here to massage my temples.
Okay, well, let's explore this further.
Open wide.
Ah! That's great.
Okay.
(BEEPlNG) Sixteen point zero.
Order an MRl.
l also want a CBC, a SMAC-7, and an ESR.
l want to rule out temporal arteritis.
He's had these migraines for years.
l mean, why waste his time and money? Mr.
Ryder, you need to give the lnderal a real chance to work.
Alan, l believe in aggressive diagnostics.
lt saves time in the long run, helps you sleep better along the way.
So, we will call you and schedule those tests.
Okay.
Thank you.
Okay.
And before we leave Fill this up.
Hand it to Divya when you're done.
EVAN: Dinner was so good, Boris.
Thank you so much.
HANK: Yeah, thanks.
BORlS: People come from all over for that congri.
Yeah? You guys looked like you were enjoying your mojitos even more.
l think l'm the only person in the Caribbean on a cocktail ban.
Oh, sorry, Ev.
Like, who knows how far things could have gone with that girl? She was She was Canadian, Hank.
She was Canadian.
Yeah, l don't know what that means.
He's had his trouble with girls.
Who has not? So, where are we going exactly? l want to show you something.
l've lived on your property for weeks, and we've never shared a meal.
One night in Cuba, and we're taking a post-supper stroll.
l feel a powerful connection with this place.
Maybe because it's one of the few places l can walk around without bodyguards and Or maybe it's because Cuba and l are so alike.
How so? We're both waiting for the news that will change everything.
l understand how hopeful this diagnosis has made you.
What do you think of Dr.
Casseras' clinical trial? l support early-phase studies, and what l see so far is impressive.
l just need to finish my due diligence.
That is why l'm here, isn't it? Estobar Square.
This is what l wanted you to see.
(LATlN MUSlC PLAYlNG) Huh.
What's Marisa handing out? Broad-spectrum antibiotics.
Cefixime, doxycycline, azithromycin The shipment my father signed for.
Yeah, the one l informed you was not for my personal use.
That was right before you scolded me, l believe.
Yes, Richie, l know.
But l hired you to sell my house, not to give it away.
Problematic realtor? Yes.
You want to talk about it? Not even a little.
So what brings you by? Uh, well, l was l was just dropping off some lab work.
Figured l'd stop in.
To say hi.
Hi.

Huh.
No one comes out of nowhere.

Like a Cohiba.
Yeah, nicely played, Boris.
Whoa.
ls Boris in a long-distance relationship? HANK: Yeah.
With the woman trying to save his life.
Oh.
l thought that was you.
Mmm, the benefits of concierge medicine.
We should do all the tests.
Right here in the hacienda, no? Any questions before l begin? No, l've had muscle biopsies before, Hank.
Okay.
Something's on your mind.
lt's the last test.
You have to pass.
There's a lot at stake here.
Yeah.
Additionally, you saw me dance with Marisa last night.
lt's raised some concerns for you.
Since you brought it up Yes, it did.
And while we're making a list, l'm not wild about the fact that you're funding her research, either.
But maybe you feel none of that is my business.
Perhaps that's exactly how l feel.
My sister works in the factory, it's true.
l don't believe Prove it.
Mmm-hmm.
Oh, my God.
(LAUGHlNG) l feel like l just opened the Ark of the Covenant.
Like, l feel like if l were a Nazi, my face would be melting off right now.
Um, Raiders of the Lost Ark.
''l throw you the whip, you throw me the idol.
'' l get it.
Yeah.
Wow, nice.
Okay My friend.
How many pesos? Don't you have dollars? MlNDY: Evan! Hey.
Okay, uh, dude, last time l saw this girl, l ended up with a purse on my head.
Doesn't matter, but l need to man up right now, and l have to impress her, so if you know of a place l could Oh, hey.
La Arena Y El Mar.
Great music place by the beach.
Women love it, and my sister Carmen runs the bar there.
Thank you so much.
You just said your sister works at a cigar factory.
l have many sisters.
Okay.
All right.
Don't go anywhere.
La Arena Y El Mar.
La Arena Y El Mar.
Thanks, dude.
Hi.
l was hoping l'd see you again.
You look so much better.
Uh, l'm so sorry.
Do l know you? 'Cause Ugh, this is so weird.
Due to a thunderous blow to the head yesterday, l'm suffering from memory loss.
lt's me, Mindy.
Mindy.
That's a really nice name.
Mindy.
Mindy, Mindy Canadian? (BOTH LAUGHlNG) Mindy! Come over here.
So, how about, like, an authentic Cuban bar tonight? l'm sorry, l l'd love to, but l My friends and l have to do this thing and Oh.
Okay.
Well, what l like things, if Sorry, l gotta go.
Sorry.
Good to see you, though.
Uh, La Arena Y El Mar is the name of the club.
lf you're near the beach.
Or not.
Okay, so Sorry, what was your name? Oscar.
Oscar, all right.
Let me see how much money l have.
Or don't have, for that matter.
You're a doctor? Why, would you charge me even more if l was? (SlGHlNG) Okay This is my final offer, and l'm only doing this because you're familiar with lndiana Jones.
You want to trade a phone for cigars? Are you kidding me? This has a 3.
8 inch touch screen display Oh Five-megapixel camera, of processing power, and if you don't want it, the offer ends in 10, nine, eight Okay, okay, okay.
Thank you.
(THANKlNG lN SPANlSH) lt's been a pleasure.
Walk away, walk away.
Go.
Hurry.
Your MRl showed no sign of aneurysm, inflammation, or hydrocephalus.
So, all tumors are ruled out.
Everything is normal.
l don't feel normal.
l have this relentless pain l can't get rid of.
Do you understand what that's like? Yes, l believe l do.
Yeah, unfortunately, tension migraines take several days to pass.
These injections should help.
Botox for headaches? EMlLY: lt's called lndelaTox.
Like Botox, but even better.
Why stop there? Maybe you could cure my gas with a tummy tuck.
(LAUGHS) lt's unorthodox.
But, trust me, it works.
Yeah, nothing says pain relief like getting jammed with a needle.
Whoa! lsn't the forehead injection for wrinkles? No.
No.
That's part of the migraine treatment.
But since you asked You still have about 50 units left.
You want me to erase some of those fine lines? DlVYA: Not to contradict Dr.
Peck, but HankMed does not do or recommend cosmetic procedures.
When you look good, you feel good, right? lt is totally your call.
Go easy, doc.
l don't want to get mistaken for Mickey Rourke.
EMlLY: Okay.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hank! Your lab results.
They just arrived from the lnstitute.
And? You're considered a strong candidate for the clinical trial.
Good.
(SPEAKlNG SPANlSH) So We schedule the bone marrow aspiration for tomorrow? Whoa.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
l like aspirating bone marrow as much as the next guy, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Well, the first step is stem cell extraction, yeah? For the trial, yes.
But my first step would be to locate and interview past participants.
All three of them? Look, l found similar studies in Europe.
We should do private reviews.
And l want to follow standard protocol and enlist a research committee to assess this trial Protocol, committee Hank, what you're talking about will take weeks, months.
No, l brought you down here to To protect you.
My plan will do that.
Without the same risk of infection, stroke, heart and kidney failure.
The list goes on and on.
Boris, it was only a few weeks ago you nearly went blind pursuing an ill-advised treatment That was fear.
This is medicine.
Which is why l'm not saying don't do this.
l'm just saying don't do this now.
Your levels are okay.
You're not symptomatic.
You feel fine.
Participating in this unproven trial could change all that.
And this time, l won't be here to help.
Look, you've already outlived your father and your grandfather.
You're ahead of the game.
Let's keep you there.
Well, your plan is thorough and reasonable.
lt makes sense.
Thank you, Hank.
Sure.
Okay.
(UPBEAT MUSlC PLAYlNG) So l don't want to worry you, but there's a slight possibility that the Cuban government might be following me.
Yeah, l can't imagine anyone showing that level of interest in you.
l l have to pee.
Okay.
Watch my back.
l'm watching it.
(SPEAKlNG SPANlSH) Hi.
l was hoping you'd say that.
Oh.
You were staring at me.
l was hoping you'd notice that.
You're American.
And it's come between us already.
Do you want something to drink? Where l'm from, the man buys, so Yeah.
What will it be? Okay, uh Mojitos.
(SPEAKlNG SPANlSH) Okay, look, so l know that you just want to decompress or whatever, okay? Okay.
But this is our last night on a beautiful island.
We're probably never gonna be here again, right? We have a few hours for all the hedonism we can manage under a communist regime.
Okay.
Let's enjoy this.
What What? Yeah.
Compliments from the woman who was checking you out earlier.
Well, that's very nice.
You'll have to thank her for me.
Dude, who was checking you out? To sending ourselves off, Cubano style.
Yeah, um Godspeed, and good luck.
Wait, wait, wait.
You're leaving? Sorry, bro.
Canada's calling.
Doctor! Oh, no, l'm not a doctor.
Susie needs your help.
What What is it? Come on.
l cannot believe this is happening.
EVAN: What did she do? lt's what she had done.
Chin implants, neck lipo.
breast lift.
Everything that needed to be fixed.
This third-world butcher totally screwed her up.
Will she be okay? Her pulse rate's over 1 20.
Low-grade fever.
Any pain here? (GROANlNG) Okay, move over.
Move over.
Get in, guys, get in.
(SPEAKlNG SPANlSH) Through there.
Dr.
Jose Avila.
Dr.
Hank Lawson.
(SPEAKlNG SPANlSH) SUSlE: (GASPlNG) lt hurts to breathe.
(SPEAKlNG SPANlSH) For a pulmonary embolism? Wouldn't you rather get a CT angiogram? Oh, you speak English Okay.
Uh, yeah, a CT angiogram.
That's perfect.
SUSlE: No.
This is as far as l can go, Susie.
No, please, Hank.
Stay with me.
Don't Look, l don't have any privileges here.
Please, Susie, just let them help.
Relatives are allowed, right? Hank's her fourth cousin.
By marriage.
A couple times removed.
lt works for me.
Let's go.
Great, nice.
Thank you.
Let's go! CT images show no clot.
(SPEAKlNG SPANlSH) Your medical Spanish is very good.
Comes with the territory when you work in a Brooklyn hospital.
Her surgery records.
l don't see any complications.
No, but there's still a chance of a peripheral blood clot or Ml.
(COUGHlNG VlGOROUSLY) Susie You okay? (COUGHlNG CONTlNUES) You're warm to the touch.
Yeah, my whole upper body's burning up.
Okay.
lt looks like the anesthesiologist increased oxygenation towards the end of the procedure.
Susie, have you been scuba diving? This morning.
How many hours before the surgery? At least six.
Does that matter? You have decompression sickness.
AKA the bends.
lt's what happens when divers surface too quickly.
See, nitrogen bubbles form in the blood and tissue.
My guess is that you didn't do a proper safety stop at the end of your dive.
l got separated from the group and came up on my own.
l don't understand.
l felt fine all day.
lt can take several hours for symptoms like this rash to appear.
What you need now is an oxygen treatment.
Where's the closest hyperbaric chamber? Second floor.
Okay, let's go.
(MEN SHOUTlNG lN SPANlSH) (GLASS SHATTERlNG) Hey.
Oh! Oh, hi.
Your brother said Susie's gonna be okay, so thank you.
l don't know what l did, but you're very welcome.
And l'm very sorry for being so vague.
They made Susie sign something.
You must think l'm a total nut job.
No.
Um, l mean, most women run away after they've gotten to know me, not before.
So, yeah, l just assumed that you kind of lost interest.
Well, l figured, ''There's no way this guy could like me.
''l mean, l almost cracked his skull open ''and now he's wearing ''part of a tote bag on his head.
'' Whoa.
Well, you see, l loved your story until you mentioned the word ''tote.
'' Let's talk about more important things.
Yes, let's.
Like what? Susie's gonna be resting for a few days, and Kerry can keep an eye on her.
So, l'm gonna have some free time.
You know, we could (SlGHlNG) Go zip lining or horseback riding.
Or we could start a revolution.
(SlGHlNG) l leave in the morning.
Can't change your flight? l doubt it.
Technically, l'm not even here, anyway.
Well, then, technically, this never happened.
Yeah.
Ah! The younger son also rises.
(WHlSPERlNG) Oh, dude, you have no idea.
Why are you whispering? So sorry l can't stay for break Oh! Hi, Hank.
Mindy.
Cute shirt.
Thanks.
Mmm-hmm.
Cute brother.
Thanks.
You slut.
Actually, l'll have you know, Mindy and l had a very meaningful vacationship.
A vacationship? Apparently it's a relationship with no strings and no small talk.
Her suggestion.
l was amenable.
When in Cuba, l guess.
Speaking of, the plane awaits.
l'm sorry, l mean the jet.
Nice.
(STAMMERS) l wish l had a little bit more time.
More time in bed? Yeah, in bed, in Cuba, with Mindy.
l'm l'm Why am l going back again? Because, contrary to public perception, you have a job.
Ah, God, l hate when you're right.
But you'll always have the memories.
(CLlCKlNG) l hope you framed out my trauma wound.
l didn't.
Get dressed, Ev.
We gotta go, now.
Whoa, wait, wait.
Whoa, whoa.
Okay l just had a vision.
We're not starting a HankMed franchise down here.
l need to trade your phone for another box of Montecristos.
Oh, how many cigars can you smoke? They're not for me.
They're for our top 10 clients.
Megur Merchandising can probably create a little cigar band that says HankMed on it.
You want to market our healthcare business using illegal carcinogens? No, l want to reward our most loyal patients using a status symbol.
My cell phone is not legal tender.
Yes, it is.
ln fact, okay, look.
But l'm gonna buy you a new phone the second we get back.
Don't let Boris leave without me.
l love you.
l'm a doctor.
l need a phone.
(BORlS SlGHlNG) What You changed your mind.
No, Hank, l made a decision.
(SPEAKlNG SPANlSH) What happened to my plan being thorough, reasonable, and making sense? lt was, but Marisa's plan also made sense.
So, l had to make a choice.
Follow her advice and increase the risk, or follow your advice and delay the benefit.
l chose to do something as opposed to wait for something.
You know me by now, Hank.
You're not really surprised, are you? What l am is concerned.
Stay here, then, through the clinical trial.
Monitor my reactions and allay your concerns.
l'm sorry.
l won't assist a course of treatment l don't yet support.
We need to talk! l will not convince him to quit my trial, to postpone his treatment until you feel comfortable with it.
Look, it's clear you still love him.
l wrote him for many years after he left.
He never answered my letters.
Now, thanks to you, l am his doctor again.
ls it ideal? No.
But l can help him.
We can both help him.
Together.
lt seems like he's already made his choice.
l think he has a new quarterback.
Goodbye, Dr.
Lawson.
(CAR ENGlNE STARTlNG) (DOOR CLOSlNG) Hank.
Finally.
Oh, l can't stay.
l just l'm playing doubles with Alan and his wife at the Maidstone.
l wanted to give you that.
Oh, and by the way, Alan feels better.
And younger, too.
l don't transcribe patients' notes.
Hank likes to handle that himself.
Oh, you, him, whoever.
l just need a hard copy and the recorder back by 5:00.
Oh, and l forgot.
What could this possibly be for? For the next time you guys need backup.
You can call me direct.
Dr.
Peck Schmoozing patients and pushing spa treatments on them are simply not hallmarks of being professional.
And professionalism is what this thing is all about.
So, thank you.
But if l were you, l wouldn't wait by the phone.
l shouldn't keep the Ryders waiting.
HANK: l like your ride, by the way.
BORlS: Oh, it's an efficient means of transport.
Well, time is important to you.
Time is important to everyone, Hank.
But, yes, it's especially important to me.
l'm sorry you won't be staying.
l'm sorry you won't be leaving.
But l hope you're right, and that everything works out.
l really do.
l don't know how long this will take or when l'll be back, but l'll Keep you posted.
Good.
And l'll keep searching.
A cure is out there.
You know, if not here, somewhere.
And if you need anything, just Don't worry.
l'll have you renditioned.
Again.
Adiós, Hank.
Adiós.
Good morning, Dr.
Lawson.
Good morning.
Something to drink? Uh, just water, thanks, Ria.
Sure.
Hey, have you seen my brother? You're the first to arrive.
Hey, uh (SPEAKlNG SPANlSH) Oscar, uh, he's a tall guy.
Red hair.
(TlRES SCREECHlNG) (SPEAKlNG SPANlSH) Whoa! Okay, okay.
Guys, guys.
(MAN SPEAKlNG SPANlSH) EVAN: You don't have to do this, okay?
