Chicago Med (2015) s07e10 Episode Script

1 Merry Christmas.
What happened, that was just for fun.
I'm sorry for the stress that I caused you - for wanting you here.
- I understand why you did it.
You had a daughter and you wanted to meet her.
Maggie Lockwood is my biological mother.
For every Vas-COM catheter the hospital ordered, Dr.
Cooper received a percentage.
I mean isn't this kinda like kickbacks? It's illegal.
- We can go to the FBI now.
- The board does not feel that is in the hospital's best interests.
Matthew Cooper, Jessa Rinaldi, you're under arrest.
Any and all fallout lands on me.
Believe me, Sharon, there will be fallout.
There she is.
Sharon Goodwin.
Dr.
Matthew Cooper is out on bail.
Vasik Lab is denying any knowledge of the alleged fraud schemes.
That it was the work of their rep, Jessa Rinaldi.
Government even have a case? Listen, I have no comment.
There are reports of impending civil actions from families and patients affected by the Vas-COM.
You've been named in any of these suits? - I said no comment.
- Excuse me.
Excuse me for a second.
Excuse me.
Thanks.
Yes I use used the Vas-COM for cardiac monitoring on some patients.
Eleanor Holt, now deceased, was one of those patients? - Yes.
- The hospital uses multiple cardiac monitoring devices, correct? Yes.
Still you opted for the Vas-COM? It was promoted as a better option than the competing devices.
It was getting talked up a lot by other doctors.
Anyone in particular? I've only been at Med a few months.
I know some faces but not many names.
Was one of those faces Dr.
Will Halstead? Why don't we come back to that question? I've already gotten a statement from Dr.
Halstead.
How's that 15 minutes going for you? What? Of fame? That was the last thing I was thinking about when I called the FBI.
And now all that hoopla out there.
I'm worried about the hospital, Daniel.
The feds are seizing files, computers.
They're interviewing board members and staff.
Look, it's a little crazy right now, okay? But the dust will settle, you know? It always does.
Sharon.
Just heard an interesting fact.
It turns out whistleblowers are entitled to a reward.
Six, even seven figures.
How 'bout that? Always a pleasure, Roger.
You got the chart? You up to speed? Yeah.
Lawrence Givens, 50, end-stage renal disease.
No longer tolerating hemodialysis.
Grafts keep clotting.
But he only has one kidney to begin with.
Yeah.
He donated the other to his father 25 years ago.
He also has kidney disease.
Turns out it's a genetic issue.
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.
Lawrence has it too.
Yet the doctor still took his kidney.
They missed it.
Either a misdiagnosis or the screening didn't pick it up.
Oh, man.
Chart says Lawrence has a son.
Luke, he's 19.
He hasn't been tested to see if he also has polycystic kidneys.
Okay, so if he doesn't have the disease, he could be a possible donor.
I've thought about testing him a few times and always shied away.
Why? It's complicated.
Hi, Luke.
It's Dr.
Blake.
You remember Dr.
Blake, don't you? She's helping fix Daddy's kidney.
I want to help too.
I know you do.
I know you do.
It's good to see you again, Luke.
This is Dr.
Marcel.
Hey, Luke.
Pleasure to meet you.
Luke, honey, let's let the doctor speak with your dad.
Come on.
All right, there we go.
Okay? Look, I can hold out.
I know there's a donor somewhere.
I mean, I've gotta be on top of the transplant list.
You are but time is running out.
I think we should consider Luke as a possible donor now.
At least test for polycystic disease, make sure he doesn't have it.
I want to be with Daddy.
He needs my help.
We're gonna help him.
I don't know.
You need a new kidney, Lawrence.
And I truly believe that Luke is your best, and possibly, last chance to get one.
Okay.
Luke wants to help his father.
- I can get behind that.
- Believe me, I want to also but his developmental ability I mean what are we talking about here? Look, it's not ideal, but we don't have a better move.
And Luke needs his dad.
I've known Lawrence for a long time now and Luke is always his first concern and he gave us the okay.
Okay.
So we're on safe ground legally.
What about morally? All right.
I'll take it to the ethics committee.
Get their opinion.
Negative CT and clinically improved for the patient in five.
He can be discharged.
- Want me to put it through? - I've got it.
It's okay.
A flu in two and dislocated shoulder in seven.
Can't believe you're her mom.
How'd you keep that so quiet? Easy, I didn't tell you.
Ha.
So who's the dad? Why don't you turn over five? Good morning, Will.
Oh, hey.
Another article in the Trib this morning about your takedown of corporate greed, yeah? Yeah.
My email's blowing up.
Well then, I guess you won't be needing this, huh? I thought you might want to cut out the article and use it in your yur scrapbook, you know, put it on your trophy display? I didn't do it for the accolades, Dean.
Hey, um, I got your back on this one.
I mean, you you went out on a limb for justice and you won.
Proud of you.
Truly.
Spent the morning with feds and they wanna talk again soon.
Thank you very much.
Hey, I'm sorry, Stevie.
Really.
I didn't I didn't mean for you get caught up in this.
Then why didn't you read me in on what was going on? Especially when it came to Eleanor Holt.
If I'd known what you knew, I might have treated her differently.
Halstead, Hammer, you're up.
You're going to treatment 3.
Chart's in your tablet.
Mr.
Sanon, I'm Dr.
Halston.
This is Dr.
Hammer.
Hi.
So I can see you got a bum arm and a lump on the head.
What happened? Um, he doesn't speak English.
I'm his son, Emmanuel.
Okay.
He says he's okay with me doing the talking.
Great.
French? Haitian Creole.
I've been in the U.
S.
a few years.
My father was finally able to join me.
He got out this past summer.
So, Emmanuel, what happened? Last couple of months, he's been a little off.
Dizziness, confusion.
But Chicago moves a lot faster than rural Haiti.
Yeah.
Culture shock must be staggering.
Yeah.
That's why I didn't think much of it.
But recently he's been clumsy too.
Today, he missed a step like he didn't know where it was, fell down the stairs.
Lungs are good, heart seemed normal but can't rule out a syncopal episode.
Let's get a chest X-ray, a 12-lead EKG, cardiac labs, CBC, BMP, and a head CT.
Um, he is asking if his fiancée, Fabienne, can come to the hospital? Of course, yeah.
Give the nurse her number.
Okay.
Merci.
You're welcome.
We'll check back soon.
How you holding up? Uh been better.
Put colleagues in an uncomfortable spot.
- Not what I wanted.
- I hear that.
- FBI speak to you yet? - Yeah.
Told me you made it very clear that I was working on your behalf.
I did because it's true.
We're gonna get through this.
Peter, really? Shutting me out of budget meetings? Well, the board can't fire you.
You're the hero.
And this is their plan to put me in purgatory? What do you expect? There's stink all over Med right now.
We're getting hammered by the press, donors are fleeing, doctors are getting poached by other hospitals.
Had three more resignations today.
These are department heads, Sharon.
Silencing me is not gonna clean up their mess.
I suspect the board knows that.
Suspect? Look, as a Sharon Goodwin ally, I'm out of the loop.
But if I had a guess, they're gonna come at you.
And I doubt it's gonna be from head-on.
- What'd they say? - The ethics committee's comfortable with moving ahead with Luke as a possible donor.
Look, do the tests.
See if he's even a candidate, then we'll go from there.
Sharon Goodwin? Yes.
Randall Shentu.
Can I help you with something? Oh, I assumed you'd be expecting me.
Nobody told you? Why don't we talk in my office? "The Shentu Group, health care consultancy?" We provide hospitals with practical guidance to navigate the ever-evolving healthcare landscape, whether it be regulatory, operational, fiscal, or reputational management.
You got a lot going on after your name.
President, CEO, MD, JD.
Impressive.
Why are you here, Mr.
Shentu? Board told me you don't mess around.
They've brought me on to help Med through this challenging time.
To establish a culture of transparency with vendors, device companies, reps, and especially patients.
You mean Med's business shouldn't happen behind closed doors? Exactly.
Well said.
I hope so.
It's been my mission at Med since I started here as a nurse 35 years ago.
I'm sorry.
I meant no disrespect.
And I need to acknowledge your leadership.
Exposing Dr.
Cooper's abuse of the Vas-COM was brave, admirable.
I'm not here to be an obstructionist, but right now Med's in trouble.
And, uh, if it gets worse, ultimately, it'll be the patients that suffer.
I don't want that.
Then we have something in common.
Mm.
I'm gonna take you at your word.
That's all I can ask for.
Thank you.
I look forward to working together.
It was nice to meet you, Mr Sorry, Dr.
Shentu.
Randall.
Please.
One more thing.
An ED resident upstaged Santa to announce that the ED charge nurse was her mother? Do I have that right? Dr.
Vanessa Taylor and Maggie Lockwood.
Wow, talk about left field.
Can only imagine your surprise.
Hey, Luke.
I'm Dr.
Marcel.
We met earlier.
Luke, I'm gonna take some blood from your arm.
Gonna feel a little pinch, but before you know it, we'll be all done, okay? Where's my daddy? He's in his treatment room right across the way.
I see him.
Sleeping.
That's right.
He's tired, honey.
- I don't wanna be here.
- It's okay.
I understand.
Ready to do it? Mm-hmm.
Okay, Luke.
Can I see your arm? - Come on - Here you go, bud.
I'm just gonna - roll your sleeve up, all right? - Don't wanna.
We're almost there.
- Cold.
- I know.
I'll pull it right down when I'm done, okay? Okay, this is a tourniquet.
No.
Tight.
It hurts.
Take it off.
I can't do that quite yet, all right? Just hang in there for me, okay? I don't like it.
It's cold.
Okay.
What's that? This is just a wipe to clean your arm.
That's it.
That's it.
Just hang in there for me, okay? No shot! No shot! I don't want a shot! - Daddy! - Right, need a hand? No, no.
Shutting it down.
That's it.
We're done.
All right, bud.
We're done.
- I want my daddy.
- Okay, all right.
- Daddy! - Come on, sweetie.
Come on.
Saw your patient's chart.
Wasn't that his best shot at a kidney? - Yeah.
- Yeah.
You got a plan B? No.
Take a deep breath for me, Claudia.
Can you tell me what happened? I was in class.
I couldn't really concentrate.
And my teacher let me go to the water fountain.
Okay.
Bilateral breath sounds, heart's good, regular rate and rhythm.
No murmurs.
I was really thirsty but when I leaned over to get a drink, I just got really dizzy and I fell and hit my head.
- Did you lose consciousness? - I don't know.
I just remember sitting on the floor with the school counselor, Ms.
Jones.
BNP, CBC, bolus a liter of saline and a 12-lead EKG.
Is my mom coming? I called her, no answer.
I left a message.
We'll keep trying your mom, Claudia.
Be right back.
She okay? Gonna run some tests but all signs just point to Claudia being dehydrated.
Oh, that's a relief.
I've been worried about her lately.
Her grades have slipped, absences have gone up.
I tried reaching out to her mom.
We've been looking for a time to sit down.
This is Claudia's backpack.
I know I shouldn't have looked inside but I did.
Found this.
- What are they? - Furosemide.
It's a diuretic.
It's sometimes used as a diet pill to lose water weight.
"Sarah Rey?" Claudia's mother.
Anel's cardiac labs and EKG were normal so unlikely he blacked out.
X-ray of his arm showed a distal radius fracture.
Page ortho.
Should be down soon to cast it.
Is that his CT? Not good.
Check out the hippocampus.
Diminished in size, significant atrophy, but there's no evidence of a bleed or stroke.
No.
Makes me think it could be Alzheimer's.
Could explain the confusion and the visual-spatial issues.
Yeah, but Anel's only 45.
Yeah, he might be one of the 5 to 6% that develops symptoms early.
Tell ortho to hold off on casting the arm.
Let's get a neuro consult first.
Scott, need extra hands.
Keith Varig, 35-year-old male, unrestrained driver, high-speed MVC.
GCS 8, BP 100/60, heart rate 124, grossly deformed left femur, intubated in the ambo.
Apparently, a truck kicked up a rock on the Eisenhower, flew across the divider, smacked through this guy's windshield, hit him in the head and sent him right off the road.
Or somebody's got it in for him.
All right, come on.
Let's go.
All right.
Transfer on my count.
One, two, three.
Watch his bag.
All right, good.
Multiple lacerations to the face, neck, and arms.
Likely closed femur fracture.
Belly's distended.
I do not like the way it feels either.
Quick fast, please.
Bilateral breath sounds.
Kathleen, let's set up for a chest X-ray.
Free fluid all over the belly.
Heavy internal bleeding.
Vitals? BPs dropping 90/55.
Heart rate's on the rise, 136.
Let's trigger the MTP.
2 units blood, 2 units plasma, stat.
Clear.
X-ray up.
Wow.
Chest X-ray's clean.
Lungs up, no hemothoraces.
Yeah, lucky us.
One less crisis.
This guy's still trying to die though.
Okay, Hank, call the O.
R.
Tell 'em we're coming up.
Come on.
Let's move, people.
Let's go.
Look, my feeling just because the ethics committee says we can use Luke as a donor doesn't mean we have to.
So there's another option? It's not a great option but yes.
Peritoneal dialysis, PD.
It's a slower type of dialysis, puts less strain on the vascular system.
Slower.
Well, given your clotting issues from regular hemodialysis, PD's the next best alternative until the kidney becomes available.
Doesn't sound too pleasant.
It's not but it buys time to keep working that transplant list, right? This, uh, this PD, it It won't involve Luke? Ever? No.
Then let's do it.
- Sharon.
- Yeah? I just got a call from HR.
They're asking me about my relationship with Vanessa.
What's this is all about? - Randall Shentu.
- Who? Compliance officer the board brought in.
You think they're gonna call Vanessa in too? I imagine so.
We were finally getting to a good place.
I'm sorry, Maggie.
Here.
Is that better? Uh, sure.
I'm sorry.
Lawrence.
I know it's uncomfortable, man.
- Dr.
Marcel? - Yeah.
Speak outside? Yeah.
I'll be right back.
- Peritoneal dialysis.
- Yeah.
He's dying, Crockett.
We had a path towards possibly saving him and you've blown that up.
Luke couldn't handle the blood draw.
What happens when it's time for surgery? That'd be torture.
We could help Luke with his anxiety.
What? Sedate him because we're inconvenienced by his emotions? That's not a solution.
Neither is PD.
It's a stopgap at best.
Transplant organs don't grow on trees.
Sometimes we have to go get them.
Yeah, well, not like this.
And Lawrence agrees.
Well, you better hope that decision doesn't cost him his life.
Is everything okay? He's asking about a prescription for him and his fiancée, Fabienne, for their, um, wedding night.
Oh.
Uh how about we talk about that later? - Merci.
- Okay? Um, what did the neurologist say? It's his opinion and ours as well that your father likely has early-onset Alzheimer's.
Okay.
Wow.
Um Okay.
Um, so how long until he's not him anymore? Hard to say.
Likely a few years but maybe more, maybe less.
There are medications.
One, Donepezil, we'd like to start today.
And going forward, neurology will devise a treatment plan.
But there's no cure? No.
I'm sorry.
With Alzheimer's, the best that we can do is slow it down.
He's asking about his fiancée? The nurse reached her.
She'll be here soon.
Merci.
Vitals had been stable but now BP's crashing.
Down to 94/60.
Heart rate's rising 130.
He's bleeding again.
A lot.
2 blood, 2 plasma stat.
Re-trigger the MTP.
Call the O.
R.
We're going back in.
We'll reintubate there.
Am I gonna die? Your injuries are severe.
You sustained incredible trauma.
I've already had to take your spleen and a good deal of your small intestine.
You're still bleeding internally.
- I'm sorry to be so blunt - No, I get it.
My family, my parents, my sisters, they're in Minnesota.
Yeah, I called 'em.
They're on the way.
His family, how long until they get here? They're three hours away.
Call 'em back.
They need to drive faster.
But you knew Vanessa Taylor was your daughter before you visited her at the medical school's residency fair, correct? Yes.
But I spoke to many other students that day, not just Dr.
Taylor.
How many of those students are now employed by the hospital? - None.
- Which makes it appear as if you had an ulterior motive when you visited the fair in the first place.
I wanted to meet my daughter.
But I had nothing to do with her being hired by this hospital.
She earned this on her own merit.
But that's not the issue right now.
We're talking about appearances.
Claudia Rey, 13, in the eighth grade, treating her for dehydration.
CT confirmed that her head injury was superficial.
But, look, I could use your help.
Tell me.
I don't want to call DCFS.
Okay.
Claudia passed out because she was using diuretic as diet pills, mom's prescription.
She says mom gave 'em to her but I just don't know if that's true or not.
Where is mom anyway? Still trying to get ahold of her.
Three calls, three voicemails.
Yeah.
Daughter in the hospital, no sign of mom.
I mean, it's not a great look.
I mean, notifying them might be protocol, but once that ball gets rolling, it's Look, I just want to get mom's side of the story before I start something that I can't undo.
I get it.
I mean, you really wanna be sure before you make that call.
Yeah.
Okay.
Uh, I'm gonna keep trying mom.
And once she arrives, do you mind talking to her? Why don't we talk to her together? Okay, Keith.
Let me scrub in and then we're gonna get started.
I'm finally gonna get what I deserve.
Ten years ago, I was at a bar.
I was drunk.
A guy hit on me.
I saw red.
I punched him and I walked away.
Later, I found out that when he fell, he hit his head.
He died.
No one knew it was me so I didn't tell.
I murdered a man.
And now it's time to pay.
A life for a life.
Everything all right? Yeah, yeah.
Pushing meds, 20 of etomidate.
Oh, fun.
Got another morning meeting with the feds tomorrow.
Dr.
Halstead, Dr.
Hammer, I think something's up.
I was just in Mr.
Sanon's treatment room.
Overheard him with this fiancée.
I speak French so it's not a one-to-one to Haitian Creole, but I'm pretty sure he was explaining that his son said the fall was just a balance issue.
That meds called Donepezil will take care of it.
Emmanuel didn't tell his father.
Yeah, looks that way.
Nancy, do you know where Emmanuel is? Waiting room.
I didn't tell him and I'm not going to.
Emmanuel, I know Alzheimer's was not the news that you were expecting today.
I'm so sorry.
But lying to your father is just I'm protecting him.
You can't understand.
In Haiti, all my father knew was poverty, hardship, and war.
But now there's freedom, joy, love.
He finally has everything to live for.
And I won't take that from him.
Emmanuel, the disease will progress so you you can't keep it a secret forever anyway.
Why not? Let my father live a few years in ignorant bliss.
When the time does come, he won't even remember this day happened.
Please.
No.
No way.
Anel should be the one to decide what's best for his life, especially when there's a time clock on it.
When the truth may do more harm than good, therapeutic privilege gives us some leeway to hold back info.
I mean, plus I imagine Emmanuel knows his father better than anyone.
We should consider his opinion.
Is it his opinion or yours? Seems these days, you're the one who's in charge of what people should or rather shouldn't know.
Fabienne doesn't know either, does she? Keeping the diagnosis secret affects her life too.
I'm doing what I think is right.
Okay, Emmanuel, I get that you want to preserve your father's happiness but he and Fabienne are engaged.
She needs to know her future may not be what she's envisioning.
Please tell her.
So Claudia's gonna be okay? Yes.
Her latest labs came back normal.
Small bruise on her forehead but she's now hydrated and feeling much better.
I had my cell in my pocket, but I was on shift.
There's a strict phone policy.
I didn't know it was the hospital.
Don't worry about it.
We, um, we found you and you're here and that's what's important.
Um, Claudia told me that you gave these to her.
I've struggled with my weight my entire life.
I was raised on fast food and huge portions.
And before I knew it, I was raising Claudia the same way.
I tried to break the cycle with lean recipes, meal prep, organic, but I I work two jobs and can barely make rent.
Eating right takes planning and money.
Must be frustrating feeling like, you know, all those All those healthy options are not available to you.
So could you tell us about the pills? I found them on the internet.
I was just trying to get to spring and nicer weather so we could walk again.
Right.
I've been Claudia, the overweight teenager, and kids can be cruel, especially when you get to high school and I just wanted to spare her that pain but I'm failing.
No, I don't see that.
I see a mom who's doing the best that she can.
You know, we have a couple of excellent educational programs here at the hospital.
The one I'm thinking about, Exercise and Nutrition, both online and in-person.
Is that something you think you might be interested in? Yes.
Thank you.
I can put together some info for you.
Can I go back and be with Claudia now? Yeah, of course.
It was very nice to meet you, Ms.
Rey.
So, holding off on DCFS, that was the right call.
Mothers and daughters have been on my mind a lot lately.
Well, came in handy today.
Good work, Doctor.
Keep it up.
Thanks.
Fabienne? Hi.
I'm Doctor Hammer.
I'm hoping Emmanuel told you about Anel's diagnosis? Yes.
It was a shock.
I understand.
I want to respect your space and I apologize for overstepping but Emmanuel has chosen not to tell his father.
How do you feel about that? Conflicted.
I love Anel.
Keeping a secret from him is not the way I want to begin our marriage, but I agree with Emmanuel that he doesn't need to know.
Oh.
Really? Anel is reunited with his son.
His world, at last, is at peace.
Telling him it's only a fleeting moment will destroy him far faster than the disease.
That's not the marriage I want either.
I support Emmanuel's decision.
But he's made it for both of you.
That's not fair.
It won't be easy, I understand, but I'm prepared.
In our culture, nothing is more important than family.
Emmanuel knows this because his father instilled it in him.
What's not fair, even more than the diagnosis, is that Anel will never know what Emmanuel is doing for him.
He would be proud of his son.
The damage was extensive.
It was a very difficult surgery.
We couldn't awaken Keith after the surgery and we gave him a CT, found that he had suffered a hemorrhagic stroke while he was on the table.
He's not gonna wake up? There are no brainstem reflexes.
Neurology will run an apnea test to confirm but the stroke was massive and catastrophic.
Keith's gone? I'm very sorry.
Keith spoke to me before he went under.
What did he say? Well, he said that if he were to die, he would want his organs to be donated.
Yes.
Yes, we'll donate.
Um if you'd like to spend some time with Keith.
Damn, man.
That's what he was saying? His exact words: "a life for a life.
" Well, my plan B isn't working.
Well then, new plan.
Got a patient on life support, no chance of recovery, blood type O-neg.
Kidneys being HLA tested right now.
Here are the preliminary numbers.
The family's agreed to direct organ donation.
If the kidney matches your patient, it's yours.
Yeah, I think this'll work.
Okay.
Look, I should've run PD by you before making the switch.
You're right.
It was a Hail Mary and it could've ended badly.
I get it if after today you want to drop me from your team.
Not drop you, Crockett, strangle you.
Mm.
The truth is I believe in you.
Hell, I even like you.
Maybe that's because you piss me off.
Thank you.
I guess.
Look, I'm not opposed to you wearing your heart on your sleeve, but you and I are strongest when we work together, got it? Got it.
And I like you too.
Let's go save Lawrence's life.
Vanessa.
I've been looking for you.
Sorry, I'm just taking a moment.
I had to sit down with HR today.
They're digging into how I met you and ultimately how you ended up in Med.
I'm so sorry.
I keep on getting in the way.
I never wanted to be a distraction.
But over and over, that's That's what I've been.
Anyway, uh, they're probably gonna reach out.
I don't care.
Let HR call.
You're not upset? You know, when When I first started at Med, I was just I was just so intimidated.
The early hours, the ten-year binder, the Adderall, that was That was just me trying not to feel like an imposter.
Like I belong.
But I know now I do belong.
And I wouldn't have figured that out if it weren't for you.
All you've been is supportive.
I don't know what to say.
You don't have to say anything.
Just know that I am so grateful that you're in my life.
I don't care who knows.
You know, when I went to the FBI, I really thought I was doing right by this hospital.
And now, I don't know.
Whoa, whoa, hold on.
For what it's worth, I, for one, am absolutely positive that you did the right thing.
I appreciate that.
So positive in fact, that I am gonna take you out for an incredibly expensive dinner right now.
Let's go.
Just so you know, the Vas-COM business, sneaking around, playing nice with the enemy, it sucked, but I needed to protect patients.
I had to help.
And if I had to do it again, I would.
So I'm sorry I didn't fill you in.
I wish I could have.
No, you were doing what you thought was right.
Yeah, I get that now.
- So we're cool? - Yeah, we're cool.
Um, hey.
The device rep, Jessa, did you sleep with her to get the information you needed? No.
Absolutely not.
Good.
Congratulations.
Another W.
Thanks to your 11th-hour heroics.
You saved us from an impossible choice.
Deus Ex Machina.
Dues Oh, "God from the machine.
" I like that.
Goodnight, Pamela.
Night, Dean.
Crockett.
Avery, hey.
What? Another follow-up? No, I'm working here just like you.
- Oh.
- My firm's been meeting with patients and families affected by the Vas-COM.
Oh, that's right.
Well, you got a case? Oh, yeah.
Good one.
- Nice.
- Speaking of, my mom filled me in on your big win.
- Ah.
- Way to kick ass.
You say so.
Are you refusing to pat yourself on the back, huh? That's pretty sexy.
What do you say, dinner then my place? Oh, not tonight.
Yeah.
Yeah, sure.
I get it.
Single in the city.
I know how it works.
Yeah.
Well, okay.
I'll see you around.
Yeah, see you around.
So what are you thinking? I don't know.
The duck, gnocchi, Spanish octopus.
Mm, you got a tough decision to make.
Me on the other hand, I have no such issue.
The Wagyu strip.
How'd you know? What about the The tasting menu? Ms.
Cooper.
I'm actually glad I ran into you.
There's something I've been wanting to say.
I'm not interested.
You come at me as hard as you want, okay? - It doesn't matter.
- Come on.
I'm gonna win.
You're gonna lose.
This is neither the time or the place, - all right? - That's it.
Enjoy your dinner.
