Asthma?

I'm trying to help you,

but you have to answer my questions.

- Who gave you this Triphase?

- Teddy Dolson.

He saved my life. The two of us.

Okay. But I need to...

You go to The Room.

You ask Teddy Dolson. He can tell you.

You go to The Room.

But listen, I'll go to The Room.

I'll talk to Teddy Dolson,

but at this moment...

Help me.

Please.

He's talking?

I'll help you.

I just don't want to give you something

to make you worse.

- Steady, steady.

- Hold him down!

Hands!

Valium. Hit him with another 20. Go.

They're on the line.

Jason, have you got him?

Got it.

I've got a patient who says he's

on Triphase. Did you ever hear of it?

No, no. Triphase with a "T".

Could it be a street name

or something like that?

Start CPR. I need a milligram

of epinephrine now!

What'd you put on the death certificate?

Unknown.

Next of kin?

No. We don't have anything.

We'll let the medical examiner

worry about it.

Jeff, did you ever hear

of something called Triphase?

No. What is it?

It's this thing he said.

Why won't this new system

accept my security code?

I know I'm not supposed to say this,

but I could've screwed up somewhere.

Right. You shouldn't be saying it.

Maybe we should have someone

look it over.

Why?

Because I've never seen anything

like this in my life.

Maybe we should check

it's not something new.

What's new? He's homeless, cold,

stoned on God knows what, he dies.

It's more than that. You had to see it.

I've been here 800 years, Guy.

Believe me...

...I've seen it.

You look like sh*t, my friend.

Get some rest.

By the way, I heard about the NYU thing.

Congratulations.

Hi, Guy. It's me...

...ringing to congratulate you.

What do I have to do to catch up?

I'd like some of my money back, please.

Give me a ring. We're all very excited.

Dad keeps reading the paper.

Anyway, call me back.

And can you tell me what neurology is?

I don't know and I've got people

asking me about it.

Don't know why. Anyway...

...give me a ring sometime, yeah?

I'm back in London.

Talk to you then. Soon. 'Bye.

Watching a rat running

on a treadmill might not be...

...everyone's idea of fun.

But to some American

and Swedish scientists...

...it's justification

for breaking out the champagne.

We were watching that.

Do me a favor. Get your grandpa.

After years of research...

Okay, listen up, everyone!

Listen up! Thank you.

As the only braggart in this family,

I won't let you leave this house...

...without hearing this telegram.

Stay where you are, Dad.

It's from the White House.

"We were delighted you were awarded

the Wainwright Medal. "

"To have worked so long, so brilliantly,

with so little regard...
