The beast is yet to come!
# In Trinidad there was a family.
# With much confusion as you will see.
# There was a mother and a father
and a boy who had grown.
# Who wanted to marry
have a wife of his own.
# He met a young girl
who suited him nice.
# He went to his father
to ask for advice.
# His father said
"Son, I have to tell you no.
# The girl is your sister
but your mama don't know"
# Woe, woe is me.
# Shame and scandal in the family...
Tonight.
Dori... Dori, listen, I don't know.
- Yes, please, please. You have to.
- No, listen to me. Listen.
I don't think... Oh, no.
Um... No, thank you.
Land here is extraordinarily
valued at millions of dollars.
Agriculture really
isn't the way to go anymore.
- The real value is in tourism.
- Thank you.
I... No, thank you.
I'm seeing hotels, resorts, casinos,
the works, you know?
If you're really serious about this
here's my card. Call me anytime.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome. Oh, honey.
I want you to meet Dr. Matthew Hope.
Doctor, this is my honey
and partner, Scott.
How do you do?
I've just been considering
your lady's real estate, um... Tips.
Such a pleasure.
Wicked, girls.
All alone, Tina? Not for long.
All I want is jerk chicken,
jerk fish, jerk pork, jerk...
More jerk chicken, sir?
She's a work of art,
isn't she, superintendent?
Which I will own someday.
- I don't believe she's for sale.
- Everyone is for sale, doctor.
Really? How's your jerk?
Attention, everybody, please.
Settle, everybody.
Settle.
Thank you.
Now we've all gathered here today
for a very special occasion...
...my baby brother Wesley's birthday.
Now I know you were
all looking forward.
...to partying with the
island wildman, as I was...
...but unfortunately Dr. Winsvold
has informed me.
...that Wesley is feeling
a bit under the weather.
So if you'll join me in a toast
to Wesley's good health.
- To Wesley.
- To Wesley.
Rock on.
Dori, listen, I know I said I'd help you.
...but it's just too dangerous right now...
You said it would be easy
to do a DNA test.
...to tell who the father of the baby is.
It's too dangerous.
No, stop this, please. Dori, I...
Come on, please, you promised.
Dori, this is very dangerous.
Oh, my God, Dori, this...
Dori, we shouldn't be doing this.
Dori, we should... Just...
God.
Please, please, please. The test first.
- No, no.
- Yes, sir.
I'll be more relaxed when I know, yeah?
Yeah? Please?
Uh-huh.
Oh, dear.
Oh, God.
My God. Oh, my God.
Aah!
Aah! Aah!
Aaaah!
Aaah!
Doctor?
Doctor?
He's dead.
Move, move, move, move!
Squeeze my hand.
Hey.
Help me.
I will, honey.
How close are we to maximum dosage?
We're there.
Dr. Javitz.
Dr. Javitz.
Oh, Alice, you're going down?
- No. Dr. Javitz, it's Jenny Garcia.
- I know. Nothing's working.
I know you said no to the Raptomycin,
but we've got nothing to lose.
Alice, for God's sake, that's enough.
The review board takes a long time
to determine compassionate use...
...and you don't want me
to repeat my speech.
...on the use of non-FDA-approved drugs
and disastrous career consequences.
- This child is not gonna make it...
- Do not turn me into the heartless...
...crusty head of a department
who's going to be making speeches.
...about liability and insurance companies
and all that crap.
You know better.
Hey, Phil, can I have
an amp of Raptomycin?
Dr. Javitz and the review board gave you
the thumbs up for compassionate use?
- Do you have it in writing?
- Phil, I'm in a huge hurry.
I don't have time for this.
I got the approval.
You know what they say...
...no good deed goes unpunished.
It's a chance I'll have to take.
Code blue!
If you expect me to jump on a chair,
don't hold your breath.
Help me.
"Dear Dr. Dodgson.
You are a talented doctor...
...a caring person,
and under no circumstances.
...should you blame yourself
for Jenny's death.
However, by prescribing Raptomycin.
...and disobeying my specific instructions...
...you have compromised
this institution's legal standing.
I have no choice but to recommend
that your license be suspended.
...for no less than two years.
Yours, Dr. Javitz. "
Dr. Javitz.
Yes, it's... it's Alice Dodgson.
Yeah, I'm calling to...
to ask you for a favor...
...if you think that's appropriate.
Um, I realize that I can't practice
medicine for the next two years...
...but there is a medical referral service...
...and they're offering
an overseas position.
which doesn't require a license.
Yeah, the patient was diagnosed
with atypical lymphocytosis...
...slipped into a coma twice last year.
Lives in Jamaica
in some out of the way place.
They want someone
to give supportive care.
Well, I'm calling you because...
'Cause I...
Well, they do ask for a reference.
And although I do have other references...
I... I think that they should know
why I had my license suspended.
...before they decide whether or not
they want to hire me.
Welcome. Welcome.
Welcome. Welcome to Jamaica.
Hope you enjoy your stay.
Hey. How you doin'?
I am fine, baby girl.
And you're very fine, too, you know.
But me at work now.
Normally, I would love
to make your acquaintance.
...and show you a good time...
...but me have to work.
I'm... I'm Dr. Dodgson.
I'm J.B. I'm sorry. Can I help you?
No, I'm fine.
- Yes.
- Actually, very fine.
