Previously onRoyal Pains:
What are you doing here?
I've left your father.
I got fired.
Why didn't you tell me?
Because you've been preoccupied
ever since I stepped through the door.
- Close the gate! - Stay where you are!
Get the truck! Stay there.
- Are you suggesting... - Are you offering?
Yes, he is, and yes, you are.
Okay, let's make this official.
To the return of the living Hankmed.
I didn't hear a thing.
Hank, an intruder has breached the perimeter.
I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you're too late.
I've got a pulse.
Call 911.
Looks like he's been shot in the heart.
He's bleeding profu...
I've lost his pulse.
All right, we need to open his chest.
Anyone here have combat medicine experience?
I need help now.
Okay. Here, bag him.
Glove up.
Either of you have a flashlight?
Good, thank you.
Making the incision.
Hank... What are you doing?
He may be losing blood too fast.
If I don't stop it, he'll bleed to death
before the ambulance gets here.
Hold this open.
Spread the ribs as much as you can.
Now!
That's it.
Okay.
Yup, there's the hole. The bullet's embedded.
Must've sent him into v-fib.
- Will you remove it? - It's in the left ventricle.
Yep, there it is.
Okay. Good.
He's bleeding too fast.
I need to plug the hole with my finger till he's in an O.R.
I'm pumping it to get the blood circulating again.
Come on, beat.
There we go. He's alive.
Yes.
Removed a small-caliber bullet from the left ventricle.
My finger's in the hole to prevent him from exsanguinating.
You're gonna have to keep it there while we prep him.
I'll cancel my dinner plans.
- Dr. Lawson? - Yeah.
Detective Mellecker, South Hampton P.D.
Hi.
Hi. We need to get statements from you and the victim.
Oh, well, he'll be in surgery for a few more hours,
and I don't know what I can tell you.
I heard the shot from the guesthouse,
ran up and found Mr. Kuester Von Jergens Ratinecz
and a few guards.
- One shot? - Yep.
- Do you know who fired it? - No.
Did the victim have a weapon?
- I-I-I don't know. - Okay.
We still need a detailed statement for the report,
but we can wait until tomorrow.
- Okay. - Nice work.
Thank you.
I think you were just showing off.
- Hey. - So what'd they say?
They just asked questions...
That I don't have answers to. Mm.
You know, one of the nurses knows a cop
who told her the guy is a John Doe.
He got in with an hvac crew to case the place.
Dumbest burglar in the Hamptons breaking in there, right?
Yeah.
Uh... Yeah.
I'm supposed to meet my ride outside,
but uh... Okay.
How is this place so empty?
I don't get it.
When we left here earlier,
there were flashing lights.
There were squad cars, yellow tape.
Maybe they've already finished.
No, not that fast. Something is going on.
Dad, nothing is going on.
Whoa! Dad.
Be careful, will you?
We've had enough drama for the night.
You know what, do me a favor.
Just get out here.
Okay? It's a long day. I'm a little tired.
- You got it. - Okay, I love you.
I'm gonna get some sleep.
Hello. Unh.
- Good night. - Love you, pop.
- I love you, boys. - Love you.

all right, ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to Hankmed 3.0.
Yeah, it's so exciting.
So obviously we've expanded the staff, but...
hey, before we start, I got a couple ideas.
So how is that before we start?
That's starting.
- Who is he again? - Uh, Ken Keller.
He invested when it was just me.
Right, so that's agenda item three, and...
agenda item number one should be my ideas.
Keller, you're a silent partner,
so... Well...
shush, shush. Silent.
Do you prefer Ken or Keller? For my notes.
Jeremiah, later, later.
All right, as I was saying,
we are gonna need the expanded staff
to meet the demands of our insanely expanded patient load.
Muffin break.
These are flourless, but you'll never tell.
I have blueberry...
babe, babe, um, I love you and thank you.
They look awesome, but we haven't even
started the meeting yet. Really?
I heard "agenda item three."
I know. It was a misfire.
- Oh. - Muffin time will be later.
- All right. - Great.
So where was I?
Yes, the expanded patient load.
Wow, you're having a party.
Can I join?
What smells so good?
It's Paco Rabanne.
I think he meant the muffins.
Keep telling yourself that.
That's blueberry. Take a seat.
- Great, yeah, have a muffin. - Thank you.
Everyone situated? Good. So...
is there any news about the burglar?
Still unconscious, but alive.
All right, everybody, can we...
let's just get through one agenda item...
- Yeah, that'd be great. - Together.
So here we go, agenda item number one...
Mrs. Katdare. What a surprise.
I hope I'm not intruding.
No. Well, you're not intruding per se.
Excuse us. Mom, what are you doing here?
I'm so sorry to interrupt,
but I was afraid you might need this.
I can't believe I left my phone.
I'm just gonna go ahead and adjourn the meeting.
I was just in such a rush
to get to this important meeting!
- You don't have to take notes. - You must be Divya's mother.
Muffin? Yes. Thank you.
They're flourless.
All right, so, uh... Well...
This is supposed to be agenda item number four,
but how about you and Divya see the new patient,
Veronica Sullavan? Her address is in there.
Sounds like a plan.
So the meeting...
Kinda got out of control.
Yeah. Kinda reminded me of my old
Brooklyn hospital meetings.
Way too much talking, and nothing gets done.
So basically the exact nightmare scenario
you pictured when I pitched expansion?
Well, it helped that you were suffering
through the meeting, too.
No, no, growing pains. Those are growing pains.
All right, from now on I'll email an agenda in advance.
I'll limit all comments to ten seconds or less,
and I'll require that all refreshments are consumed
prior to the meeting... how's that?
It's a start.
Wow.
Please tell me that we have somewhere to get to.
That post-meeting was worse than the actual meeting itself.
We do. Let's get to it.
Hi. Thank you for coming.
My regular doctor is in Manhattan,
but I have so many clients in the Hamptons
that I just don't like to leave
unless absolutely necessary.
- Do you perform weddings? - No, I don't.
I perform introductions.
I'm a matchmaker. This is my wall of fame.
Are you two single?
I have some space on my wall still.
I'm married to my work.
Haven't gotten around to buying the ring yet,
but I will.
And are you open to... No.
Just checking.
Hazard of the job.
Oh, you hit the remote. Let me fix that.
Thank you. Yeah.
Ooh...
There's that again. Sorry, light-headed.
That's been happening all morning.
I also have a flutter in my chest,
like a hummingbird.
Which is something that a woman in my condition
has to actually take seriously.
You're referring to your s...
wait.
I hear two heartbeats.
Maybe it's the stethoscope.
Maybe it's my two hearts.
You had a heterotopic heart transplant?
Yes, but you shouldn't be able to hear them both.
They should beat as one.
It's far more romantic that way.
Not to mention healthier.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
I want to do an EKG. Fun.
Ugh, if I had a nickel for every time I had an EKG,
I would have a metric butt load of nickels.
I was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy nine years ago.
Two years on the transplant list,
seven years as a transplant patient.
And a month after my surgery,
I had to have an EKG every other day.
That's like 15 nickels right there.
I could probably do it myself,
but I wouldn't be able to read it.
Well, let's see if I can.
I've never done one on two hearts.
Yeah, I get that a lot.
Why did your doctors add a heart
rather than perform a replacement?
They couldn't find a perfect match,
so they put in a second to help mine pump.
After the surgery, I was "all heart,"
so I decided to start a matchmaking business.
No one ever likes that joke,
but feel free to be the first.
It's all right.
Uh, the complexes in one heart appear normal,
but the other shows intermittent svt.
Definitely wouldn't have been able to read that.
I'd like to take you to a local specialist
just to be safe.
Ah, the life of a transplant patient!
The doctor will probably want to look at your medications,
so you should bring them.
I hope you have a big backseat.
She has a great attitude, don't you think?
Admirable.
So it's her sense of humor you don't care for?
I saw you roll your eyes. I did not roll my eyes.
Div...
Fine.
I rolled my eyes.
I have a problem with her profession.
My parents, they played matchmaker with me and raj.
It didn't matter that we weren't in love...
Real love...
The kind you find without third-party meddling.
I tried to make them understand. You see where it got me?
Yeah, well, from the looks of things this morning,
it seems like they're coming around.
- Just my mother. - It's a start.
- She left my father. - Wow.
That's... how do you feel?
Honestly? Responsible.
Why would you be responsible?
Hank, I encouraged her to do it.
- I actually... - I'm ready!
- Uh... - Later.
Okay.
Boris. Yeah. Hank.
I'm not gonna apologize for saving that man.
I took an oath... I know, I know.
I have come to thank you.
I acted emotionally last night
out of concern for my family.
Your family?
The man was discovered
under Carlos' bedroom window.
I have no illusions about what he was after.
And with all you've witnessed this summer, do you?
You wanted him to die.
I was angry, Hank.
You know my family's history.
I will not let it reach my son.
But...
I should have known asking you to compromise your integrity
would be...
Futile.
So thank you.
You're welcome.
I'm glad we can put this ugly mess
behind us now.
Hi.
Wow.
What... what's all this?
You have a crazy workload today.
I wanted you to be properly fed.
This is, uh... this is totally unnecessary.
It's very sweet, though.
I get sweeter.
I also copied the schedule for all your doctors.
Oh, and I got you some extra phone chargers,
so now you'll have one for your house
and one for your car and one for my place.
You are getting too many important calls
to run out of battery.
Wow. That's amazing.
You don't sound amazed.
No, I mean, it's...
okay, are you being a little... Extra... Paigey?
I don't know what that means.
Like, you're always very supportive, right?
But after the muffins yesterday
and the 90-minute deep-tissue massage last night
and now this, you're being even more supportive than usual,
which is already maniacally supportive,
so I can't help but think something's off.
Maybe it's you,
because I am the perfect amount of me.
- Ah. - And I had a brainstorm
about yesterday's staff meeting.
The problem is that the staff hasn't bonded.
Oh. Well, babe, it's a little early
for a corporate retreat, don't you think?
I was gonna suggest a mixer.
That's actually a really good idea.
But I can't... I mean, I'm so...
no, I know, you're busy. But I can plan it.
How are you gonna have time for that?
You've got art school coming up in three weeks.
You've gotta find a place... It's under control.
This is more important right now.
So what do you say?
Yeah, it sounds perfect.
Great. I'm gonna get started.
Excellent. Mwah.
Wait, after breakfast... Paige?
Dr. London found that both your hearts
are pumping adequately.
That's good.
Did I mention that he's a client now?
Brilliant cardiologist, easy on the eyes.
No, thank you.
The tests also showed no signs
of your body rejecting the heart
or any ischemic or valvular heart disease.
He did put a couple of new pills in my regimen.
Did I mention that he's also interested in photography,
fine wine, and iyengar yoga?
I mean, I'd have to get to know you first,
but I have a really good feeling about this.
You know, Ms. Sullavan...
I am really not interested.
Is that the only reason that you called?
No. I'm nauseous.
I know that side effects are side effects
of most medications, but...
Is there something you can do about it?
Well, let me confer with Hank and Dr. London.
Maybe there's something else that we can give you.
Most people don't think matchmaking is for them,
but then, once they try it... I did!
I did try it.
You pair people up simply because
it looks good on paper.
I believe in love.
I believe in romance.
I believe in something real and lasting.
These people are not paper dolls to me.
I get to know everything about my clients, outside and in.
I believe that's the only way that you can find a match
that's real and lasting.
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said anything.
No, I'm glad you did.
Look, before my surgery,
I was stuck in a lousy marriage,
I had a lousy job.
I didn't believe in love. I didn't believe in happiness.
But then this woman I didn't even know,
she gave me her heart.
I got a second chance at life.
And I realized that lousy just wasn't gonna cut it any more.
I wanted to find what made me happy,
and it turns out that helping other people
find happiness, find love... that makes me happy.
I'm really good at it.
How is the burglar?
He's still in a coma from the initial hypoxia,
but his vitals are stable, so we're hopeful.
Oh, what did the police say?
I haven't talked to them yet.
Maybe Boris snuffed him out.
I think that would've made the news.
Yeah.
All right, that's it.
Eddie doesn't want to meddle in your lives, so I will.
We think you should move in with us.
What?
It's not safe at shadow pond.
Even the name sounds shadowy.
Ms. Newberg, I think we're okay.
We're surrounded by guards, like, all the time.
Guards who shoot people.
Look, they were defending Boris's family.
- Oh, come on. - No, no, that man
pretended to be on an hvac crew
so he could sneak onto the property.
- Dad? Dad, are you okay? - Mm-hmm.
I think I'm good.
Ms. Newberg, would you mind getting dad's heart medicine?
Yeah, they're in the car, honey.
Between interviews for book publishers
and now a shooting, he's worn himself out.
Yeah.
We only made love once today.
Thank you for sharing that.
Mm.
Be right back.
Hvac did you just say hvac?
You seem better.
Yeah, I did. What's wrong?
Okay, you know what, I wasn't going to say anything,
because Hank told me to stay out of Boris's life,
and then Boris made the same suggestion,
but that was before it happened.
- Before what happened? - Okay.
I'm trying to give Boris a copy of my book.
He takes off. Then all of a sudden,
from out of the trees come these guys with guns blazing.
I'm telling you, they were chasing down the driveway,
trying to stop this hvac truck.
It was like a spy movie thing. Wait a sec.
This is the day before the break-in?
Yes.
They were holding him a full day before they shot him?
What the heck were they doing to him?
Relax, Evan, I don't think that's what dad was saying.
That is exactly what dad is saying.
Maybe they shot him when he was trying to get away.
Stay out of it, okay?
Henry, the guy had a shark tank in his basement.
I mean, a torture chamber wouldn't be out of the realm...
Evan, we're staying out of it.
Oh, excuse me. Hi. You made it.
Of course. You called.
Are you not feeling okay?
No, I'm fine. Stop being such a doctor.
I invited you to lunch, so come on, let's eat.
Actually, I just ate lunch. When I got your message,
I assumed it was a medical appointment.
You're a workaholic.
That's what you suffer from, workaholism.
- Oh, is that your diagnosis? - That's why you're single.
I did some research on you, Hank.
Hi, Harper!
- Hey. - Harper, this is Hank.
- Hi. - Hank, Harper.
Glad you guys could join me for lunch.
I actually hate eating alone.
Oh, my gosh, I think I see Nick Lachey.
I'm gonna go say hi.
See you guys later. Okay.
Gee, I, uh, wonder if this is a setup.
What do you expect from a matchmaker?
Yeah, I don't, because I didn't hire her,
but apparently I've been drafted.
So less a blind date, more a blindside.
Yeah, exactly.
So what brought you to Veronica?
I wasn't having a lot of dating luck myself,
so I'm giving this a shot.
Is anybody here a doctor?
Both: I am.
Excuse me, coming through!
Veronica!
No pulse. Yeah.
Both: I need a defibrillator.
You bag her, I'll do compressions.
Just so you know, she had a heterotopic heart transplant.
Two hearts. Good to know.
One and two and three and four...
An ambulance is on its way.
Okay, take over for me. Thank you.
Six, seven...
What's the matter? It's not working.
- But it's brand new. - Well, it...
- take over for me. - Okay.
I need a knife.
You're gonna cut her open right here?
Get me a knife now.
One, two,
three, four, and five, and six...
All right, she's not responding.
I'm gonna do a precordial thump.
Wait, wait, what are you doing to her?
It can cause an electrical discharge
which can put her back into normal rhythm.
Mm...
By the way, it helps to have the plastic off the battery.
Now it's working. Nice.
- Nice. - Veronica?
You went into cardiac arrest,
but your hearts are beating again.
Now we need to get you to the hospital.
It's gonna be okay.
- Early wedding planning? - Ah ha ha.
Giant Hankmed launch party planning, actually.
Paige went rogue.
- Does Hank... - Nope.
- You know the last thing he... - Yep.
- He's not gonna like... - Oh, I know.
Can I please finish my sentence?
He's already anxious about the expansion of Hankmed,
and after that horrendous first staff meeting...
yes.
I would've had the same thought, if you'd let me complete it.
Okay, maybe you could...
Strategically place the flowers around the house,
and Hank wouldn't notice them.
He wouldn't notice them?
It's like the poppy field
from the wizard of oz in here, Divya.
Look, it's...
Then you'll have to be honest with him.
Oh, God. Well, it looks like
you're going to get your wish, Divya.
It'll be all right. I'll back you up.
No. I'll handle it.
You guys haven't set a date
and you're already picking flowers?
All right.
What...?
Paige invited 300 people to the Hankmed launch party.
Give or take.
I'm sorry, did you just say "launch party"?
- Hank, it's not Evan's fault... - Bugger off, Divya.
Thank you.
- Mm-hmm. - I'll be going.
Byebye. Launch party?
I know, I know, it ballooned into something unwieldy.
- 300 people. - Give or take, okay?
Give or take. I would've shut it down,
but that would've meant shutting Paige down,
and for God knows what reason, she seems to really need this.
She needs a party for 300 people?
I know, give or take. Look, Hank,
something's going on with her, and I don't know what it is,
because she won't admit that something's going on with her,
so I'm...
I'm gonna shut it down. I'll shut it down.
No. No, no, no.
Evan... Don't shut it down.
- Really? - Really.
We'll have a big launch party.
Why don't you look relieved?
Because... What if this relaunch party doesn't fix her?
Like, what if... what if this party's
just like a gateway party into even bigger parties,
like celebrations and galas?
Then you'll be there for her,
just like she'll always be there for you.
For the record, I like this one.
It does that.
I was told the John Doe was here.
He was. He's being transferred.
- Transferred where? - Got me.
How long ago did they take him?
Just happened.
They might still be in the ambulance bay.
- Okay. - Why?
Okay.
Excuse me, where are you taking him?
I-I-I'm a doctor. I said, I'm a doctor.
This patient just had open heart surgery.
Hey, why is he being moved?
Ask dispatch. All I know is I've got the transfer papers.
This is unit 547, transporting patient to foxtrot Mike.
Well, there isn't much difference
between the past and the present, then,
if I can't control it, is there?
I see. Yeah.
Good, then, do it!
Okay. You seem troubled, Hank.
I'm confused.
All right, you tell me, then. Good.
The John Doe was moved,
I'm pretty sure by the government.
Why would you say that?
Well, the paramedics who put him in the ambulance
said they were taking him to "foxtrot Mike."
Last I checked, New York paramedics
don't use phonetic alphabets.
Very good, Hank.
Very good.
You see, "foxtrot Mike" is fort Meade.
The NSA has taken your John Doe.
He wasn't shot breaking in, was he?
He was shot breaking out.
I had assumed we had put this in the past, yes?
I don't like being lied to.
This man was caught planting listening devices.
You understand? Bugs, everywhere in my house.
I am hosting a meeting in the near future,
to which it seems some parties would like to be privy.
So this had nothing to do with the safety of your son.
Who knows what else he was going to do?
These are dangerous people, Hank.
They do dangerous things.
Why didn't you just tell me?
I assumed you... Wouldn't want to be involved.
Hank, in your profession,
you see a problem and you treat it, yeah?
It is a controlled environment.
Everything is primarily black or white.
For me... Not so simple.
I've read about a patient with two hearts,
but I've never had a chance to work on one.
We had to get a specially modified pacemaker
with two leads. Unbelievable.
Yeah, I know, it's very exciting stuff.
Veronica has a temperature of 100.5.
I mean, she may be fighting some type of infection.
It's a slight fever, but her arrhythmia's more pressing.
Both of her hearts need pacemakers,
or she's staring at another cardiac arrest.
What is it?
I think there's more to this than Veronica's hearts.
Now, you said she had nausea.
- And now a fever. - When I saw her at the club,
she was wearing sunglasses inside.
And when we first went to her house,
a lot of the shades were drawn. Mmhmm.
Do you think she's photophobic?
Conditions that present
with both arrhythmias and photophobia...
- Q fever. - Typhoid.
Veronica!
Here, get her feet. I've got the line.
Easy, easy.
Get me 2 milligrams of lorazepam.
I'll get her on oxygen.
Wait, wait, wait, wait. Seizure's subsiding.
Hey, welcome back. What happened?
You had a seizure.
I'm gonna call neuro for a consult.
But we will have to postpone your pacemaker surgery.
Don't sound so disappointed.
Don't you have other defected hearted patients?
First we need to figure out what's going on with you.
Yay, I'm special.
I'll be back to check in on you.
Thank you.
Veronica, your seizure, along with your other symptoms,
may be signs of an underlying condition.
What?
Has the light been bothering your eyes?
They've been sensitive.
Like a flash like when you...
Open the curtains in the morning.
That's called photophobia. It's a symptom, too.
- Of what? - Hank, take a look at this.
- What? - It's petechial rash.
What is it?
I'm pretty sure you have something called
rocky Mountain spotted fever.
It's a potentially lethal infection
spread by ticks.
It can have severe effects on your respiratory
and central nervous system, and your hearts.
But... I've never been to the rockies.
You can get it pretty much anywhere.
And we'll have them put you on doxycycline right away.
And the good news is, if you have it,
we can treat it.
So it's not related to my transplant.
No. If I'm right,
all of your symptoms have been the result of the infection,
but with antibiotics, you and both your hearts
should be okay.
I understand this mixer
is for us all to get to know each other.
I'll start.
I was born in Richmond, Virginia.
I spent the last nine years
in a research laboratory with my mentor.
And when... when he died...
I-I couldn't... Navigate the politics, I guess,
and I lost all of his funding.
Your turn.
- Wow, that is so sad. - Uh-huh, yeah.
Man, I think... I'm gonna need another.
This is the best concierge medicine relaunch party
in the history of concierge medicine relaunch parties.
Yeah, I've got a gift.
And doing it for Hankmed... for you...
makes it all the more fun. Fun is good.
You know what else is good?
Talking. Now, I was thinking...
I should postpone art school.
Postwhat? Why would you do that?
With this new launch, you need me.
So I will postpone school until you're on your feet.
Evan, it is not every day
you get an opportunity to follow your dream.
That's what this is about? You getting fired?
Paige, people get fired all the time,
successful, talented...
me, in fact, right before I moved to the Hamptons.
I... and I'll tell you all about it another time,
but getting fired is just a thing.
It happens all the time.
I, um...
I told you that they fired the director
and let us all go, but that's not what happened.
Then what happened?
The director...
Tried to sleep with me.
That's the only reason I was hired.
I thought the director was a woman.
Oh.
Well, listen, I thought
it was because I was talented, but I'm not a real artist,
so I should stick to what I'm good at...
being there for the people who need me,
my mom, my dad, and you.
Okay. Screw all that.
Listen to me.
Paige Collins, you are not a fraud.
You're not.
I couldn't love you this much if you were,
which is why you are going to school
to follow your dreams,
not your mom's or your dad's or mine.
Evan R. Lawson,
I love you so much.
So much.
Oh-all right.
- hi there. - Hey.
What are you doing here?
Is that how you welcome all your guests,
or am I special?
Oh, no, I... what I meant to say was... Hi.
Better.
I think the invitations went out to pretty much
every medical professional in the eastern time zone.
Yeah, it's not a small party.
I prefer a more intimate get-together myself.
Me, too.
And yet we're both here.
Veronica says I need to put myself out there more.
Well, she does seem highly qualified.
Except I told her I don't date doctors.
Right.
Well, we are horrible people.
Despite that, it was very nice to meet you...
Surprisingly nice.
Bye, Hank.
Bye? What...
what do you mean, "bye"?
That's it?
I guess that's it.
Hey.
- Hey. - Hey.
- You're here. - Yeah.
I thought for sure you were gonna be a no-show,
given the sheer enormity of this thing.
It's not that big.
- Can we talk for a minute? - Yeah, sure, come on.
I'm having a great time.
I'm glad, but mum...
I admit, I'm not quite sure what to say about you and daddy.
I know.
But we're here now, and being here means so much to me.
It does?
You're an important member of this business.
Your independence, your courage, helped get you here.
So... Are you happy?
Yes.
I don't know.
You stood up to us so that you could find your own happiness,
and you found it here in your business.
Maybe it's time you find love, too.
Ugh.
I don't need a man to be happy.
It sure didn't help you.
Divya, I have never been in love.
I hope when you're my age, you cannot say the same thing.
So after the giant staff meeting
and now here at this giant party,
I realized that I am walking on eggshells around you,
and I don't like it.
Well, then don't. You shouldn't.
Well, sometimes you don't leave me a choice.
You overreact.
Like when I bought those shirts from Boris's cousin
and you quit.
It's not that simple, Evan.
You weren't listening to me.
You weren't listening to me either.
I don't want to start a fight now about it.
It's just, if we're gonna be partners again,
I want to get the bad blood out.
Okay. Okay.
You cannot make any medical decisions without my approval.
You cannot withhold approval without a really good reason.
You have to show better judgment.
You have to stop being so controlling.
I'm controlling?
I am controlling?
Yeah, maybe I am controlling.
Yeah.
In fact, maybe I was so controlling,
I didn't realize what you were capable of.
I think it took us being apart
for me to see how much you brought to our company.
You created a new business while I struggled.
I am so impressed with you, Evan.
You're really good at what you do.
I'm proud to be your partner
and your brother.
I think I really needed to hear that.
Good.
Okay, everyone,
it's time for the staff meeting to come to order.
Everyone?
Isn't it a little quiet for a Hankmed 3.0 staff meeting?
Yeah, shouldn't there be one more investor,
two more doctors, and five kinds of flourless muffins?
While I do miss the muffins,
I have made an executive decision.
- Hm. - From now on,
staff meetings will be for senior staff only.
All those in favor, say aye. Good!
Moving right along to the first order of business...
Divya's Hankmed shares.
They will be held in escrow
until she is in a position to buy them back.
That way, I am no longer the majority owner.
No one is. Evan, you don't have to...
- Evan, you bought those shares. - Great, it's unanimous.
I don't think you know what unanimous means.
Moving right along to the schedules...
Wait, before we do, I have a business item for the agenda.
That's adorable, Hank.
Thank you. I signed a retainer.
Don't toy with me. That's... Divya...
You put him up to this, right?
I did no such thing.
Though I am intrigued. Who is it?
Veronica Sullavan is now a client of Hankmed.
I've never been more proud of you in my life...
Except for yesterday
when you told me you were proud of me.
Detective Mellecker.
- Dr. Lawson, can I come in? - Of course.
There's something I was hoping
you could clear up for me. Sure.
We heard from the emts that you removed the bullet
from the gunshot victim. I did.
Crime scene investigators can't find it.
Do you have it?
- No. - Okay.
Thanks. Yeah.
So are we still staying out of it?
- Hello. - Hi.
How are you feeling?
Oh, this sunlight is heavenly.
Then the doxycycline is working.
Yay!
As you know, Dr. London assured me
that you won't need a pacemaker
or a new place on the transplant list.
To say that I'm relieved would be such an understatement.
Thank you.
I'm looking forward to getting back to work.
I have so many clients that still need to be paired off.
Okay, maybe I... Jumped to the wrong conclusion
about you and your business.
Really?
I want to find love.
And I'd like to hire you to help me.
Oh, my God!
I'm so excited!
Would you care to join me, Hank?
- I can set a place for you. - No, thank you.
You look determined.
I removed the bullet from that man's heart
and then I dropped it,
but the police say they didn't find it.
I want to know what you're hiding...
Besides evidence from a crime scene.
You are insatiably curious, Hank.
Please sit down.
No.
Do you really want to know?
Yeah, I do.
Perhaps my assumption about you was wrong.
Perhaps you are not so predictable.
You've been very generous to me. And to Evan.
You opened your home to us.
Gave me credibility when no one out here had any idea who I was.
You're right, my world is black and white.
Yours isn't.
But I always assumed we were more alike than different.
Now I'm starting to wonder.
Okay, if I'm gonna work with you, I need to be sure
it doesn't make me a part of something I don't believe in.
Then find out.
How?
I need your help.
Would you be interested in joining me in an adventure.
I'm listening.
