Candyman

Previously on Nurse Jackie-- Listen up, people.
Dr.
Roman's D.
E.
A.
number has been hijacked.
Nancy Wood.
Does that name ring a bell? That's the patient who stole Carrie's D.
E.
A.
number.
- This is Helen.
- She's a nun.
- They move Helen upstairs? - She said she was discharged.
Fuck.
- So when is the wedding? - We're thinking soon.
I had problems in my marriage, Jack.
I never said I didn't.
- You don't talk to your kids.
I didn't know that.
- I never lied to you.
- Hey, Frank, you've got to call your kids.
- Yeah, I know.
Oh, oh, oh.
You have to make the first move.
Maybe I will.
I had a really, really bad day, Mommy.
Can I stay here? I can't promise you I won't relapse.
- I am an addict.
- I gotta get some air.
Mom, there's peanut butter in this one.
Wow, really? It's a peanut butter and jelly filling.
Mmm.
I vote for that one.
Okay, guys, we do have to get you to school.
Sorry I didn't tell you we were tasting cakes.
Yeah.
It's not what I was expecting at 8:00 a.
m.
We had to get the order in today and I told them we could all choose the cake together.
- You want a bite? - No, no.
I'm fine.
Hey, Fi, easy with the frosting, please.
I just want to try the yellow one.
So, uh, hows it been going with Grace at home? Uh, good.
Considering the girls at school are still icing her out uh, we're getting along pretty well.
Did you get your invitation? - What, to your wedding? - Yeah.
We would really love for you and Frank to be there.
Oh, well, me and Frank are, uh- I guess we're going through a rough patch, so- - No.
Ugh, I'm so sorry.
- Are you okay? It's fine.
It's just one of those things.
We would love for you to be there no matter what.
And so would the girls.
Right.
Fi, honey, you've got to stop.
Hold on, Officer.
You're making a big mistake.
I'm cleared to park here.
There's a hospital personnel parking pass on the dashboard.
Excuse me, you need to stop writing that ticket and listen to me while I'm talking to you.
- Good morning, Gloria.
- ls it? Hey, look at you.
A week ago, your head was in a toilet.
You look fantastic.
- What, are you drunk? - What? No.
I'm being nice.
How you feeling? Great.
I just got invited to Kevin's wedding by his very considerate fiancee.
Oh.
You gonna wear something sparkly? Right.
It's Frank.
All right, I'll see you in there.
- Hi.
- Hey.
Look, I got a lot of people I love not talking to me right now.
- That's not my fault, Frank.
- I know.
D.
E.
A.
contacted my precinct about your E.
R.
Something about a physician's D.
E.
A.
number being stolen.
Okay, what's that have to do with me? Someone's coming over there today.
They're gonna screen everybody and it's gonna be thorough.
Well, it's a good thing I'm clean and sober.
Yeah, it is.
I miss you, Jack.
- I gotta go.
- Yeah, me too.
I gotta go.
What the hell? Why is this closed? I need gum.
It's so close.
This is not the way I want to start my day.
Hold.
What's that thing called when Mercury is going backwards? I don't know.
Well, it's happening because this day is a shit show already.
- So I can't get the day off? - No chance in hell.
- Oh, good, you're here.
- Yes, I'm here.
That runaway nun is in the waiting room.
- Helen? - The only person she'll talk to is you.
And she looks even worse than she did the last time, if that's possible.
Well, I'm glad you came back.
I feel like hell.
It hurts to move.
I'm almost too tired to drink.
Well, I get a second chance to help you.
I don't believe in second chances.
Dr.
Roman, you remember Helen.
Hi.
I threw up on you.
I remember.
- Vitals? - B.
P.
is 100 over 60.
- Mm-hmm.
- Pulse is 88.
And there appears to be a severe case of lice.
Oh, no wonder I'm so itchy.
Let's run a metabolic panel do a close examination of her scalp and just get her cleaned up.
Do you have 'em too? My God, I just found out.
The newsstand guy died.
What? Naeem? Yeah.
Wait, you knew his name? Naeem Reshamwala.
Of course I knew his name.
He's worked here forever.
Oh, that's terrible.
Okay, I will be right back.
Okay.
I never even noticed he was sick.
I'm just another jerk who wanted gum.
Do you see anything? Please tell me.
Do you see anything? There's nothing there.
You have a very clean scalp, though.
It doesn't feel like it.
Oh, my God.
- Stop squirming.
Let me finish.
- All right.
Stop it.
What? I'm grooming you.
Nothing.
Can you recheck? I still feel something.
Look, you're fine.
You haven't caught anything yet.
My first year, I got everything.
I got lice three times, strep, scabies, shingles- I-I was checking her f-for lice.
In her mouth? We're lucky we caught it in time.
Attention, this is an announcement.
There will be a memorial in the chapel at 3:00 p.
m.
sharp for Naeem Reshamwala our dearly departed newsstand proprietor.
Attendance is strongly encouraged.
You're right.
So many people check out and abandon their flowers.
I know.
But we're gonna need more.
Did you check Maternity? Maternity, I.
C.
U.
How many people are coming to this? I'm expecting a very strong turnout.
Naeem has a very large family.
- You called his family? - Yes.
So we're going to need to step it up.
The reason you're so tired is that you're profoundly anemic.
We need to do a blood transfusion.
It's gonna take a few hours.
Fine.
I got nowhere to be.
- Has anyone seen Gloria? - No, why? There's a tow truck out front.
It's about to haul her Mustang away in, like, two seconds.
- I tried talking to the guy.
- All right, thanks.
You have to wash her before you start the transfusion.
Wait.
I don't wash people.
It's like my one thing.
Please disrobe.
No, thanks.
You need to take off your clothes so you can get clean.
You take off your clothes.
ook, I'll turn around if that will help.
That will help.
Fuck.
Helen, wait.
Hey! Hey! Hey, I'll move it! Hey! She's moving the car! We'll move it! Thanks, lady.
- What'd you just do? - Gave the guy a hundred bucks.
Hey, Gloria, there's a spot right over there.
It's too small.
I'm just gonna put it in the lot.
There's plenty of room here.
Come on, I'll show you.
Back it up.
You've got room.
Go.
You're good.
Back it up.
Back it up.
Am I okay? Keep going? Uh, yeah.
Why don’t you keep going? Keep going.
Ow! Stop! Don't- No, no! Gloria, my fucking foot! Go, go, go! Oh, shit.
I feel terrible about this.
Can I at least get you a moon boot? They're toes.
I'll be fine.
Hey there, lady who took all my money with a full house, jacks high.
Hello.
- You ready? - For what? I thought you might want to hit the 12:30 meeting.
- Are you limping? - No.
Look, I don't mean to seem ungrateful but I would like to try this on my own for a while.
Oh, wow, okay.
What about the little trip to Miami we just took? Yes, exactly.
That was hard on all of us.
And I don't need to bring everyone I ever meet down into this.
Okay, Jackie- What? I will still go to meetings.
One day at a time.
Thank you.
Don't do that.
Don't thank me.
We've got to talk about this.
Oh, no, no.
no, no, no.
- I am not taking my clothes off.
- Helen.
Helen.
- Okay.
- No, no, no.
Helen.
Not many people have seen me like this.
I understand.
But we have to get you clean.
You comfortable? Not at all.
- Water warm enough? - Yes.
Thank you.
- What is that? - What? You have a bone protrusion on your back.
Did you break a rib? Probably.
I tried to jump in front of a cab last week.
Uh-huh.
Is that a regular thing? It's pretty regular.
All right, I'm gonna take a look at it, okay? Just let me know when it gets painful.
Everything is painful.
Yeah, that's painful.
Okay.
You're really in pain.
Yeah, you ran over my foot.
I need a psych consult for my nun.
You got it.
Anything else I can do for you? Well, I spoke to my sponsor.
Apparently there is a N.
A.
sponsor-approved plan for when someone in recovery is injured.
I'm listening.
It's pretty simple.
I get a prescription for pain medication from Coop.
You hold it and you administer it.
That's it? That's it.
I don't touch a thing.
That way, it won't interfere with my sobriety.
But I'm not gonna go to Coop unless you're okay with it.
Lei me think about it.
- I don't have anything to say.
- You're the chief.
Do something chief-like.
Make a small but meaningful speech.
Thor, I didn't even know the guy.
None of us did.
It was like he was invisible.
Mr.
Dr.
Cooper.
Hello.
Hello.
This is the Dr.
Cooper.
- We're, uh, very sad about Naeem but, uh- - Yeah.
We're very happy to meet you.
Aw.
Oh.
Oh, he told you.
Right this way.
She just went through detox.
And now she's pushing me away.
You don't isolate after you've gone through something like that.
Yeah, well, pushing people away is her specialty.
There's nothing you can do about it.
Oh, there's something I can do about it.
What does that mean? - I can go to her boss.
- Whoa, whoa.
No one's going to anyone's boss.
Hey, can I gel 600 milligrams of ibuprofen, please? - Yeah.
- Hey.
What are you doing here? Um, we're gonna go out.
I'm gonna take her out for a coffee.
Know a great place for an eight-dollar latte.
Ibuprofen, yeah? Sorry, I got to lock up.
Better be a good fucking latte.
It is.
You look good, Sister.
Yeah, I got a shower.
So, Helen, after your transfusion, we're gonna give you a full physical.
You don't need to keep helping me.
Do you still feel like you want to harm yourself? I don't want to harm myself.
I just want to die.
Good answer.
We're required by law to keep suicidal patients for 48 hours.
So you're in our care for a few more days.
We're going to start soon.
Oh, my gosh, Helen.
- You look so pretty.
- I do? - You really do.
I wish I had a mirror.
- Here.
See? Oh, my.
Nice.
- Want me to send it to you? - You can e-mail it to me- homeless.
nun@aol.
com.
You got a minute? I told Coop my arthritis is flaring up.
What'd you do that for? I didn't ask you to lie.
Jackie, given your history, the fewer people who know, the better.
Now I have them.
I'll hold them.
Is two enough? What are they, five milligrams? I think I'm gonna need three.
Thank you.
Welcome.
Tissues.
Hello.
Welcome.
- Welcome.
Tissues.
Hello.
Welcome.
- Thanks.
Welcome.

Hello.

Thanks.

Hello.
Welcome.
Did you hire a cellist? No, I traded that crazy street cellist on the corner a full body scan for his services.
Genius.
Welcome.
Juicy Fruit.
Excuse me? Juicy Fruit.
- How did you know? - I'm Ajay.
My father told me about all of you.
He would want you to have your favorite sweet today.
And you are the sugarless Gummy Bear.
I am indeed.
Thank you very much.
Hello, Mrs.
$100,000 Bar.
Yes, that's my candy.
Thank you.
Jackie, this is Naeem's son.
- I'm Ajay.
Hello.
- Hello.
I'm so sorry about your dad.
He was a very sweet man.
Thank you.
And this is for you.
Life Saver.
Let us all remember Naeem for the love and sweetness he brought into our lives.
I know he would be very touched by this wonderful service.
He loved working here.
His heart was full.
It just wasn't strong.
Would anybody like to say anything? What? You're the only one who knew his name.
Naeem Reshamwala- he was such a sweet man.
Uh many of us here, uh at the hospital knew him and some didn't, but, uh some- some of us knew him better than others but he was always there, was always a pan of our day.
He was always smiling.
And he, uh, has such a beautiful, loving family and, uh, they're all here today to, uh- And, uh- I'm sorry.
He was, uh, you know- I'm sorry.
It's just that he was- I'm sorry.
It's okay.
I'd like to read something.
“Who can take tomorrow dip it in a dream? Separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream? The candy man.
The candy man can.
Because he mixes it with love and it makes the world taste good.
” You were perfect.
- Oh, no.
- Oh, yeah.
People were crying and singing.
Really? Good.
Because I didn't want to recite something old and then walk away.
Hello.
Funerals are about life.
I need to say something.
- I don't have lice.
- I don't care about lice.
I-I don't want to sue you.
- God, I don't want you to sue me either.
- Um, so, okay.
Well, we're at work and I'm not supposed to touch you.
It's too late.
It's way too late.
We can't have sex in your office.
I don't want to have sex in your office.
It's, like- It's more than that.
We are not having sex in this hospital.
Oh, my God.
What are we gonna do? Come on.
You throw a good memorial.
- You can do mine.
- Thank you.
This day started out terrible and it's really turned around.
I love when that happens.
Can you tell me where I would find a Mrs.
“Alketus”? I'm Gloria Akalitus.
How can I help you? Dick Richards, D.
E.
A.
Diversion Control.
We're investigating the stolen D.
E.
A.
card of a Dr.
Carrie Roman.
Oh, wonderful.
Come with me.
You know the drill, people.
Well, I'm screwed.
You don't have to worry about anything, Jackie.
We'll delay your testing until your foot is healed.
I don't need you to cover for me.
Not covering anything.
I'm just allowing you to take a test when you're fully healed.
How is the pain? Need another pill? Actually, yeah, I think I do.
Meet me in my office.
It's nice when coffee turns into dinner.
That hasn't happened for a while.
Reading glasses.
No, sexy.
Yes.
And now that I can see, I think I'm going with the burger.
- Great.
- How about you? Um, just let me borrow them.
- Uh-huh.
- Thanks.
- Oh.
- Oh, you look great.
Oh, thanks.
I can't remember.
I think this place used to be a bathhouse or something crazy like that.
- Or a post office.
- Do you have a girlfriend? Uh, no.
Not really.
How long were you and Jackie sleeping together? You're pretty fucking direct.
I don't know.
About a year.
It's been over a lot longer than that though.
But you still seem so connected.
Yeah.
You familiar with dark matter? Particle physics? Sounds complicated.
Well, I like it complicated.
Hmm.
Oh, got it.
Okay, that's better.
Okay, wait.
There.
- I'm gonna- - Ow.
- I'm gonna touch your- - Touch it.
- Is that okay? - Oh, my God, just do it.
- Can I? - You can touch anything you want.
Mmm.
Oh, my God! Are we being busted by a traffic copter? They don't see us, we don't see them.
Electronic Tones .]
Um, excuse me.
What's going on here? Oh, hey, Mom.
This is Tommy.
Um, hello.
Jackie Peyton.
These are my boys, Tommy and Joey.
- I'm Joey, he's Tommy.
- Hey, Mrs.
Peyton.
Jackie, please.
Well, hey, guys.
I've heard so much about you.
You told me to call them.
It was hard, but I called my boys.
- Well, I'm glad to meet them.
- You know, it's 'cause of you they're here.
Hey, look, I'm not gonna pressure you, Jack.
I'm just gonna tell you I miss you.
And I know we've been through something, but this can still get great, you know? We can have all this.
Us.
Our kids.
You want that? Hey, Dad.
Don't go anywhere.
I got nowhere to go.
Hey, it's Jackie.
Want to go to a wedding with me?
