But we're not gonna

get into the network

to change medical files.

We have to destroy the network.

There's something else.

What?

We can't get any

enzyme from Wilks.

Apparently he had two prior mis.

You didn't know that Wilks

had a couple of heart attacks.

It wasn't in his file, and

it wasn't in his physical.

We are so close.

We just need one more subject

to extract enzyme from.

Legro.

Well that'd kill two

birds with one stone.

Mm-hmm.

You know what happens when

you're stung by a jellyfish?

There's pain and then paralysis.

Hey, Brittany.

I'm sorry, I can't do this.

What-what's-what's wrong?

She is, she's all wrong.

Sarah.

Shh.

Uh, well, I'm doctor Barnard.

I remember you.

Yeah.

Yeah, so, what did

you do to Brittany?

She asked me if I would

accept Jesus into my heart.

Really, what'd you tell her?

An honest and deeply

religious answer.

Oh, I see.

How long will I

be strapped here?

The straps are part of

our suicide precautions,

much like Brittany.

Brittany is a cause of

suicide, not a precaution.

So I have to ask,

do you still want,

do you think, Do you wanna be

a part of the world, our world?

Use grown up words.

Okay, how do you feel?

Please rephrase the question

so a concrete

answer is possible.

Okay, do you still

wanna kill yourself?

Not until you walked in.

I'm putting that

down as progress.

South union cardiac er.

Thank you.

Doc.

What? This patient

needs isolation?

You're no guiding light, Flem.

They take out the

trash every Tuesday.

Who's the resident on tonight?

Doctor Jenner.

She the one sleepin' with Legro?

I don't know, you

want me to ask her?

Uh, no.

Get her to handle this junkie.

How'd you get that?

Crack pipe blow up in your face?

I have to make an appointment

to see the cardiologist?

Okay, do you have insurance?

Yes, Michigan

blue cross blue shield.

- Okay, that should be a $200 copay.

- Okay.

Okay, we will get back

with you in a couple days,

and give you an appointment.

Sounds good, thank you.

- Okay, have a great day.

- You too.

My heart gently weeps.

You know, I was a dancer once.

Square dancer?

Ballet in Michigan, then

New York for four years.

What happened?

Fell in love with my director.

That's not good.

He likes to push

people as hard as he can.

And I, being naive,

did anything he wanted.

He pushed, and he pushed.

Until you broke.

No...

Yeah, I guess.

Are you aware of what crick did?

He replaced the

infected aortic valve.

That's the same valve that

stopped you from dancing.

The one with the birth defect.

Right.

So when crick

replaced the valve,

he treated both your problems.

Really, so it's all good now?

As long as it heals properly.
