And Tommy -- I don't know what he's talking about
half the time.
The other night I come home from work.
I'm like, "I am beat.
Maybe we can go to the mountains this weekend."
y a word.
"The mountains -- they got ticks that could kill you."
It's like he's talking in code.
Seriously, if you feel like you're talking
different languages sometimes,
it's because you are.
Lu, we are American as baseball,
hot dogs, apple pie, and Chevrolet.
No, I'm not talking about other languages
as in countries.
I'm talking
nders.
You're saying guys and gals got different languages?
Yeah, we talk. They grunt.
No, I mean, that's not so far off, girls.
Guys are all about how to solve the problem, you know?
All you're trying to say to Tommy is,
"I want to spend some time alone with you."
Yeah. Duh.
But what he's hearing is,
"You're a bum. You never take me anywhere."
So he's got to go off and solve this problem
that you want to go away for a weekend he can't afford.
The solution? Can't go -- killer ticks and Lyme disease.
Got to get a live-in translator
to talk to my own boyfriend, I guess.
You think he's acting like a jerk,
it's probably 'cause he doesn't understand
that what you really need from him is, "I love you, Mol.
Everything's going to be okay."
Weekend in the Poconos wouldn't be bad, either.
Come on in. Everybody's welcome.
Thanks. Just waiting for --
Hey, Juno. Here you are.
Hey, Dr. Stowe. Good thing you got going here,
raising a little consciousness and all.
Oh, chat room is my partner's baby.
Dr. Delgado, this is --
Juno Bouvoir. Yeah, I know, I know. I love your paper,
especially your "Gal Power" column.
It's just a filler between the liposuction ads.
So, what do you say, Dana?
Shall we go strike another blow for women's health?
With every battle is won the war.
What's going on? You're limping.
Wow. How long has this been going on?
A while.
A podiatrist might have been a better call.
-
If you can't handle a little gym shower fungus,
who can?
Uh, Juno, this isn't athlete's foot.
s like
Juno, you're pale and you're losing weight.
You're injecting drugs between your toes.
Now, Juno, you're smart enough to know
that I'm smart enough to know that
the moment I saw your foot.
So that tells me you wanted me to find out.
Are you smart enough to figure out how to help me stop?
'Cause I'm not, Dana.
I'm not.
Hey, hey.
seen that man around here lately --
That gorgeous man.
I'm hiding him, keeping him all to myself.
Don't want to share.
Oh, I can't say that I blame you.
Although...
Although what? What, what, what?
I was thinking I might want to share Jack with Marc.
Oh.
I was thinking I might want
the two most important men in my life
to get to know each other, you know?
It's a big step -- the boy meeting the boyfriend.
Is that him...
[ Deep voice ] Or him?
Nope...
[ Deep voice ] And nope.
[ Laughs ]
[ Crying ]
Man: Lars Hamberg, 36.
Sunny, 31,
now.
There was a fire in their building.
Smoke inhalation.
Pulse ox on the baby's 92, respiration 48.
Okay, on my count.
1...2...and...
I want a chest film and blood gas on that baby.
I'm here, Sunny.
Sunny, it's okay. I'm here.
Lu, help Amelia.
I want to know the baby's carboxyhemoglobin level now!
There was fire everywhere.
Doctor, I got second-degree burns on Dad's arm here.
Baby's tachy, Doctor.
Pharyngeal injection and diffuse bronchi.
Okay, get Lars' arm dressed right now,
continue to roll at 100% oxygen,
and change the fluids for all of them.
I need a pulmonologist down here now for a consult,
and somebody get me an interpreter.
What language, Doctor?
American sign.
af.
Juno, I want to help you,
but addiction isn't really my field. Why me?
Look, I've tried with all those rehab hacks before,
and it's always the same --
A couple of days of fever, barfing,
capped by me on the bathroom tile
with a belt around my bicep.
Well, why -- why now?
Why is this time any different?
I...
missed my mother's funeral.
I'm sorry.
We hadn't spoken in -- in years.
My dad begged me to go down to Florida
for the funeral, so I went.
The morning of the funeral,
I couldn't leave my hotel room.
I missed it.
I missed my own mother's funeral.
Juno...
So that's it.
I know I have to quit, time,
but I can't go through withdrawal again.
It almost killed me last time,
or I almost killed myself.
I don't even know anymore.
You're the smartest woman I know, Juno.
That's saying a lot.
Why?
What could I tell you?
You're smart. You're bored.
se.
You try it. You like it. You want more.
More's better, then it's not,
n't do o.
Then when you don't fix, you get sick.
So it's just cop shoot cop,
and you're just...
stuck.
How do you keep this from your work?
Don't your friends --
My friends I don't want
How about methadone? Have you --
Dana, if you haven't used,
you just don't know how lame those maintenance drugs are.
There's no joy in Mudville without it.
No joy.
So that's it?
*** is just so...
so...
So what?
Good.
[ Laughing ]
How you doing, baby?
Hey, Mama. Ohh!
Good news, partner. Good news.
You're kidding.
Would I kid about $11,442?
I don't believe it!
Whoo-hoo! Show me, baby. Show me.
Okay, okay, okay.
11-23-37-39-51.
That's five out of six numbers.
That's $5,721 apiece
before Uncle Sam takes his piece.
Hello? Off of what?
A $2 investment.
Lana, these are your numbers.
None of my numbers came up.
Well, so what?
We went in on a ticket together.
You gave me your dollar.
So what if only my numbers came up?
We're partners, baby, win or lose.
And we won, Peter. We won.
Lana, you won. That money's yours.
right .
g,
Nobody turns down that kind of money.
Now, if the universe decides
when it's right for me to win, I will.
Well, it did. We did, and Lana decided.
It doesn't work that way, but I am happy for you.
Congrats.
Peter.
Man, all that writing about female empowerment,
and she's a slave to her own appetite.
It's unbelievable.
She said she can't kick, that she'd rather die
than go through withdrawal symptoms.
I just don't think checking her into another rehab
is going to do the trick.
Guess you need a new bag of tricks.
Got any in yours?
Does Juno know she might not have to go through withdrawal?
Not in the conventional sense, anyway.
Are you talking about R.A.A.D.?
She could sleep through it.
[ Laughs ]
Gil, tell Lars that his arm's going to be fine.
I just want to keep Amelia for a couple days
for observation, make sure there's no permanent damage
to her lungs from the smoke.
Lars, you know that your landlord is obligated
to provide you with a smoke alarm detector
that flashes, right?
Well, he didn't.
You ever think about happened
if the super hadn't told the firemen
to check your apartment?
I would have smelled smoke.
But you didn't, and you never heard the sirens or the alarm.
Don't mind Lars, Lu.
He's just worried about Amelia.
Yeah, yeah.
I am, too.
That's why I'm wondering if you guys
have ever thought about cochlear implants.
We can surgically implant one in the inner ear
that sends impulses representing sound
direct to the auditory nerves.
It could be a lot better than hearing aids.
But we could never have bought those.
Well, that's the great thing
about this clinic being here at the hospital now.
I could see if I could get the procedures
funded for the three of you as part of a pilot program.
to hear your baby laugh?
[ Laughs ]
That was, uh,
really nice.
Especially the part when you kicked me in my head.
Oh.
Ow! It's a good thing
there was a doctor in the house.
Oh. Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Oh, my. So, what time I got to be gone?
Well, you don't have to worry about it,
because Marc is at his dad's
till tomorrow.
But I was thinking that
maybe the next time you come over
he could be here...
and you could wear pants.
[ Laughs ]
So you really want me to meet your kid, huh?
Yeah. I mean...
he's a part of my life,
you're a part of my life.
A big part, I hope.
Not that big.
Oh, see, now you're in trouble.
I didn't mean it like that.
Aah!
[ Laughing ]
[ Siren Wailing ]
Juno, as we discussed,
rapid anesthesia assisted detoxification
may be relatively new,
but with Dr. Pepper's help here,
we should be able to get you through withdrawals
without you having to re-experience
ptoms.
really nice fruit baskets.
You're going to be under a general anesthetic
for four to five hours...
God, it's like watching "Titanic."
During which you'll be constantly monitored.
Then we will observe you for 24 hours
after you wake up.
While you're under,
intravenous infusions of naloxone
awal.
, o experience
the nausea, chills, sweats, and pain that you had
when you tried to quit cold turkey on your own.
So I won't have to fix as soon as I wake up?
m
What about my mind?
There's help.
There are programs,
and I'll be there for you, Juno.
Sunny, Lars, Dr. Milstein's going to
take us through the audiological test results.
Sherman.
Mr. And Mrs. Hamberg,
cochlear implantation is a very delicate process,
and the technology's improving every day.
Get to the point.
Unfortunately, only one of you is a suitable candidate for --
I'm sorry, Lars.
The tests show only Sunny would benefit
from the implant.
Why just me? Why not Lars?
Well, Sunny, you still have some residual hearing
left from after your childhood meningitis.
His whole life,
he's never heard uage.
ble
t
to separate speech from the environmental sound.
ke
What about the baby?
Mrs. Hamberg,
age,
your daughter may be an excellent candidate as well.
Yeah. As soon as we know
that Amelia is in the clear for her smoke inhalation,
we're going to test her tomorrow probably.
Lars heard that cochlear implants
can destroy what little hearing
a deaf person may have.
It's not the implant,
g
-
Lars, Sunny, it's true.
The surgery will rob
of any residual hearing that he or she may have.
So if the implant doesn't work out for me,
for Amelia?
Well, there's a lot of research that says there's a good chance
that your experience of hearing will be greatly enhanced
sibility
that if you don't get any benefit, you'll hear...
absolutely nothing.
Juno, I want you to call me Zane.
Now tell me, how are you feeling?
Uh, drug-free, Zane.
Well, let's see if we can figure out a way
for Dr. Grays to keep you that way.
Juno, as Dr. Stowe told you,
the naltrexone tablets she prescribed for you
will keep you from feeling
the physical craving for ***.
As a psychologist, it's my job
to keep you from feeling the emotional craving.
So what, then? I have to go to narcotics anonymous
or some other 12-steppy thing?
We'd recommend it strongly.
Oh.
Now, the fellowship you'd find there
might be an enormous help to your ongoing recovery.
I want you to feel free to call me
anytime, day or night.
Dr. Grays is available to you for one-on-one counseling,
so if you would like assistance
getting to the root causes of your addictive behavior.
The root causes of my addictive behavior
is that I like ***.
I like the way it makes me feel
when I'm on it.
How is that, exactly?
Like I don't have a care in the world,
like I am floating in a warm amniotic bath.
Oh.
Did I just say "Warm amniotic bath"?
Someone get the editor an editor.
Look, you guys, what is the plan?
I have to get back to work.
We talked about this.
You know, Juno, I really think
to rest.
I don't know.
I think I got to concentrate on something to distract me,
you know?
Juno, even though you were asleep,
your body did go through
the debilitating process of withdrawal.
I agree with Dr. Stowe.
Rest is the order of the day.
And I need to check that abscess,
so you need to come in and see me tomorrow, okay?
Check yourself before you wreck yourself...again.
Zane, dawg, you have been listening
to way too much hip-hop.
Hmm?
What's this?
Looks like your little kit bag.
Right, but what's this?
Sterile gauze and latex gloves.
And next to that?
Ha ha. That's money.
Now, where did that money come from, Lana?
Your lottery jackpot.
You mean your lottery jackpot.
Now, I thought we talked about this.
We did talk about this, Peter,
but Lana was not satisfied with what one of us said.
This money is yours, Lana. Spend it well.
And I choose to spend it on you, Peter. Come on, now.
How am I supposed to enjoy my half
if you're not enjoying yours?
You're ruining this whole lottery thing for me.
Fate didn't smile upon me directly.
It would be a karmic error of tremendous proportions
on your good fortune.
What the hell does that mean?
Sorry if I overcooked it a little bit, guys.
Oh, no, it's real good, Mom.
Yeah, I never had a piece of meat
that was cooked so, uh, thoroughly.
Ahem.
All right, you guys, we're ordering in Chinese.
No, Mom, Mom, stop. I'm not finished, Mom.
Come on, Lu. You're overreacting.
No, no. It's okay, it's okay. I know when I'm beat.
Hey, I was meant to heal, not...meal.
This toast -- it's toast.
O-Okay.
You, uh, you work ction, right?
Yeah, a few years now.
Bet it's cool standing all the way up there
h?
Can I tell you a secret?
Yeah, yeah, sure. I guess.
Actually, it's kind of scary.
Really?
Oh, man. I mean, sometimes you're so high up
people look like ants,
and the wind is blowing
e, ."
First, you admit to yourself that you're scared.
Accept the fact that there ain't nothing wrong with that.
You got responsibilities, people depending on you.
Haven't you ever done anything
that you've been really scared to do?
I had this math test last week
that you would not believe.
Math test, huh?
Am I missing the party or what?
No. Jack was just saying how
sometimes you got to do stuff that's kind of scary,
even though you have to do it.
you guys .
[ Laughs ]
Anita? Hey, you feeling all right, Anita?
It's okay, Lu. I'm okay. Be out soon.
You know, just because you see a commercial
for weight loss medicine on TV
doesn't mean you have to take it.
Where'd you get those fat blocker pills, anyway?
They're my sister's prescription.
nough
pills
that aren't even prescribed to you,
you don't even bother to read about the side effects
of undigested fat passing through you.
You mean, oily discharge
and an inability to control it?
Yeah.
Yeah, but my wedding's in 10 days, Lu.
If I don't lose 15 pounds,
I'll never fit into my mom's dress.
You ever think maybe this particular dress
isn't the way to go?
I didn't even see you there.
Well, it would be easier for you to sneak up on me,
I think.
Thank you for all the tests, Lu.
I'm glad Amelia and I check out.
Yeah, I'm sorry that Lars isn't a good candidate
for the implants.
That's okay.
The baby and I aren't going to get them.
I think we should talk in my office.
The doctor said you can't predict
how well the implants will work, or at all.
I know, but with the conventional hearing aid,
there's a chance that --
I don't want to lose
the little hearing that I have, Lu --
The operation alone will do that.
Yeah, but with the implants turned on,
you're both going to have a chance to recognize
a lot more speech with a lot less speech reading.
You're going to hear sounds in the environment
you can't hear now.
When Lars and I decided to have a baby,
we knew there was a chance the baby could be born deaf.
Lars said it didn't make any difference.
Secretly, I wanted her to be hearing,
but I could never tell Lars that.
Why is this all about how Lars feels?
What about what you want?
It's just too risky.
Lana, is Juno Bouvoir
When I got back from lunch, the temp had signed her in,
but she wasn't around.
Where was I? In the E.R.
Why didn't you get me?
You want me to pull you off an emergency
for a patient that's not here?
Let's try her on the phone, okay?
I need to check that abscess.
It's ringing.
[ Cellular Phone Rings ]
[ Ring Ring ]
That's funny.
Yeah.
[ Ring Ring ]
It's coming from in here.
[ Ring Ring ]
You didn't hang up, did you?
No. It's in here somewhere.
[ Pager Beeping ]
[ Microwave Beeps ]
[ Ring Ring ]
It's back here.
[ Ring Ring ]
[ Ring Ring ]
Over here? It's in here.
[ Ring Ring ]
Juno?
Is it locked?
Okay.
[ Ring Ring ]
Juno?
Move back. Uhh!
See if it'll open. See if it'll open.
Juno.
[ Ring Ring ]
[ Ring Ring ]
[ Ring Ring ]
Lars!
Yo!
Is something wrong with Amelia?
No, the baby's doing fine, getting better.
Interpreter: Well, then what is it?
I'm working here.
I want to know why you won't let
Sunny and Amelia get the implants.
nt them r better?
Look, I know you're both afraid
that Sunny and Amelia are going to lose
what little hearing they have,
but a high percentage of the implantees
vastly improve their hearing once they get the operation.
Sunny and Amelia may have --
May have. It's all mights and maybes, Lu.
Why are you so determined
to turn us into something we're not
just to make life easier for you?
You people all want the deaf to hear
so you don't have to learn our language.
You want to erase our culture
so we can be just like you.
No, that's not true.
I want you to be able to live safer
with your family in this dangerous world,
to be able to cope.
We cope just fine without being forced
to speak English out loud for your convenience.
that needs to be cured.
It's not.
My wife, my daughter, me...
we're not sick.
You don't need to fix us.
You don't need to stick metal machines
inside our heads.
You can take your implants
and shove them in your ear.
Lars, wait!
What -- What's he saying?
Sorry. I can't hear you.
Juno.
I'm sorry.
It just --
It's so hard not to.
You know, I got here.
The receptionist was at lunch, and
And they said you were in the emergency room,
and I waited.
And I got bored,
and I saw all this stuff lying around.
Lying around? In locked cabinets?
Look, I know I didn't have to have it, but --
You asked for my help.
That took courage and strength.
I know you have the strength to stay clean.
I don't want to.
You want to be hooked on ***.
ling me?
Look, it's not like
I'm the only functional middle-class junkie
walking around this world.
Plenty of people use their whole lives,
and their habit is just another part of their life
like walking the dog or breathing.
You understand, Dana, at all?
I understand I can't help someone
who doesn't want to help herself.
That's not true.
If you want to help me, you still could.
You could give me clean needles.
Juno, Rittenhouse doesn't do needle exchange,
and I can't just go around dispensing syringes
without writing a prescription.
And I'm not going to write a prescription
for something that will do more harm than good.
So, you'd prefer I pick up ***
or get hepatitis
from some needle I share with my drug buddies
rather than keep me healthy
by supplying me with clean disposables?
I would prefer that you take responsibility
for your actions
and stop killing yourself one spoon at a time.
Dana: Lu, we have a serious problem.
How does a patient just reach into a cabinet,
grab a vial of narcotics and a needle to shoot it with?
What are you two doing all day?
Are you trying to turn us into security guards?
No, I'm trying to turn you into professionals.
No, no, no. Look.
A cabinet key in the potted plant.
Like you've never reached in and grabbed it for yourself.
Lana, Peter, I'm going to talk to my partner in private.
See you guys tomorrow. Dana.
Dana. Dana. Locks are for honest people.
You and me, we see a lock and we go,
"Okay, it's off limits.
If I go in there, I'm going to get in trouble."
A burglar looks at a lock,
all they see is the jewelry in a case.
he drugs
See? Open. Okay, open.
There's nothing you or me or anyone is going to do
to prevent them from getting what they need.
Yelling at us isn't going to help your patient.
I'm sorry. It's just I don't know what to do.
She won't stay on the wagon.
Now she wants a prescription for clean needles.
She's trying to take care of herself in some way.
You think I should write her a scrip?
You didn't?
Would you have me just toss her into an open grave?
The road to recovery is long and tricky.
Juno isn't ready to clean up now,
but you got the chance
to keep her as healthy as you can until she is.
Clean needles could buy you both
the time she needs.
I should aid and abet illegal drug use.
I think you should be as compassionate
n be.
Pharmacy.
This is Dr. Dana Stowe.
Peppermint or spearmint?
Marc is at his dad's tonight.
Don't you want to be all minty fresh before bedtime?
I don't think I should stay over tonight, Lu.
How come?
Marc's dad.
What we do is none of bill's business.
I know that. I meant Marc's dad is --
I can't be Marc's dad.
Jack, Marc has a dad. No one is asking you --
I know, I know.
It's just Marc is such a terrific kid.
That I shouldn't have to remind you
you said you wanted to meet.
I did, okay, but now --
Now what?
Hey, what is it you're trying not to say?
I don't think we should see each other anymore, Lu.
What?
I think we should break up.
I'm not ready to be a dad, Lu,
at least not to someone else's kid.
Don't you think you should have thought about this
before you said you would meet him?
I mean, do you think I ever would have asked you if --
Did you ever think what he might think?
I was curious to meet him, okay?
I wanted to see what kind of incredible babies you'd make.
I want kids of my own.
And I'm thinking, you -- you already got one.
With the clinic and all,
you're not going to want to have another one.
Not right away, anyway, right?
I didn't think about what it might mean to Marc
until after I met him.
I didn't think about the fallout
till I was sitting there talking to him.
You know what, Jack?
You're right.
Not about how many kids I may or may not want to have,
but that we shouldn't be together,
not if my son
is the last thing that occurs to you.
If you're going to be with me,
you got to think about Marc
before you think about me or --
Or anything,
especially yourself.

He walked into the ward. I didn't know who he was.
I didn't know he couldn't hear me say,
"Wait, visiting hours are over,"
and I grabbed his shoulder,
and he pushed me away and I called security,
and when they came, he wouldn't come out.

Okay, clear her airway, bag her.

No pulse.

Clear!
Nothing, Doctor.
Still in defib.

I don't think this patient is coming back.

I'll have your license. Move! Now!

I have a pulse.
I have a pulse.
Let's get her on the ventilator.
Doctor, there's no brain activity.
Her pupils are fixed.
I want the machine breathing for her.
Dana, what are you --
Lu, get out of here.
I want her on the ventilator.
Dana, this isn't right. Let her go.
She's not ready. I'm going to bring her back.
To what?
You know Juno's brain went too long without oxygen.
This woman was all about her brain --
Her insight, her smarts, her humor.
What kind of life are you going to bring her back for?
The life of a vegetable?
Dana...
please...
who are you trying to save her for?
f?
See if she can breathe on her own.

Thank you, everybody.
Time of death, 9:44.
So, every four hours, okay? Don't forget.
And I'll see you next Tuesday. Okay.
We want to thank you for convincing the hospital
not to file charges, Lu.
I told them it was
and our staff could use a little sensitivity training.
to
nk
'cause he wanted to see his daughter.
She's okay. She's good to go home.
We can get her right now.
I don't want to take her home yet.
Are the implants still available for us?
For Sunny and the baby?
Yeah, Lars, I think they can be,
but why the change of heart?
I can't bear the thought of Sunny and Amelia
going through what I did last night
just because -- only because they're deaf.
The humiliation, the danger.
I've made my choice.
I don't want to hear.
I don't want to speak your language.
But if hearing and being bilingual
will help keep my wife and my daughter safe,
then I want you to do this for them.
I want them to get the implants.
Will you do it?
Yes, Lars,
we will.
Yes.
Lana, I've been thinking, money's a tool, right?
To do good things with.
Mm-hmm.
It's not all greed.
Maybe I just hadn't seen my way clear
to accept this gift from you,
or the lottery commission,
the universe, whomever,
and doing something positive with it.
It's all gone.
What?
I spent it all.
You didn't. Sure as shootin'.
On what? How could all that money
slip through your fingers so fast?
Well, now, let me see. I sent some to my boys
so they could each get themselves a little something,
and, of course,
ha ha,
there's always a few little things for Lana.
Ha ha ha.
And the rest, I invested.
As in the stock market?
As in an aggressive growth biotech fund
that's up 89% this quarter.
And just how much did you invest in this fund?
Half...your half.
My half?
Why do you think the paperwork's done
in your name, kid?
I don't know what to say.
Well...
it ain't all tao, baby.
Sometimes...it's the dow.
Ha ha ha.
Ha ha ha.
Oh. Hey, Mom. Got any tasty cakes?
Yeah, but just one,
and don't spoil your appetite before dinner, huh?
I won't. Is Jack coming to eat with us?
No.
He's busy.
Well, when's he coming again?
Jack's not coming over anymore.
Him and me aren't going
to be seeing each other anymore.
How come?
Because -- Because of me?
No. I --
He -- we weren't really getting along anymore,
and we both want different things
out of a relationship, and...
Honey, Jack isn't ready to be part of our family.
He needs a family of his own.
You know, we like each other --
Hold this --
Maybe even love each other, but you're my family
and you're the most important thing in the world to me,
and Jack's a long way from understanding that.
Do you understand?
Yeah. Seems like he just would have been cool
to hang out with, you know?
Yeah, he would have. He was.
Hey, so are you.
You okay?
When I prescribed the needles, I told her,
"You can't use the same dosage
as before the detox,"
that her body wouldn't have the tolerance.
I know you wanted to help her. You did help her.
Junkies just don't make the best listeners.
Yeah, but if I hadn't stuck my nose in,
taken her through rapid detox, she'd still be alive.
She would, just minding her own business,
not bothering anybody,
just another functional middle-class junkie.
She asked for your help.
She was in pain, she was in misery.
I sure put her out of it, didn't I?
Well, it's been four weeks since the surgery.
I guess today is the big day, huh?
Whenever you're ready, Karen.
It'll be just a minute, Doctor.
So, Sunny, I guess you'll be next.
Any idea when you're going to schedule?
I'm not doing it, Lu.
What?
Interpreter: I want Amelia ve every chance,
but I don't want to leave Lars alone.
Do you understand?
Yes.
Karen: Here we go.
[ Tone Sounding ]
No change from the pre-op base line?
No, doctor.
Let me try up a few D.B.'s.
[ Higher Tone Sounding ]
Did you see that?
That means Amelia heard the tone.
Thank you, Doctor.
