[Noah] Eli.
[distorted dialogue]
[voices whispering, overlapping] What have you done?
[Lynn] You're leaving?
I can't do this anymore.
Liar.
[screaming]
[gasps]
- [person breathing] - [whimpers]
[distorted] Knock, knock.
Knock, knock.
[nurse] Good morning.
Get away from him, Charlie.
You were supposed to say, "Who's there?"
You're Linda, right?
Listen, there's been a misunderstanding.
I'm really not supposed to be here.
I had a-- an infection, you see,
and it caused a-- a temporary febrile psychosis.
But I'm okay now.
The doctor will be in soon, Eli.
I am the doctor.
Come on, Linda. Don't be ridiculous. You know me.
And we're gonna take good care of you. Look, breakfast.
But I have a patient who is in extreme distress,
who I really have to get back to.
You can discuss that with the doctor.
Fine.
I'll just discharge myself.
[Eli sighs]
[door rattling]
Could somebody open the door, please?
Eli, let's go back to your room.
It's Dr. Adler, and I need to make a phone call.
Hey, me too. I-- I-- I'd like to make a phone call too.
Look, there's been a big misunderstanding.
- I don't belong here. - We don't belong here.
Okay, everyone, take it easy. Let's all head back to our rooms.
- [shushing] - [babbling]
[speaks gibberish]
What is it, sweetie? What are you trying to say?
Just talk. Just talk to me, please.
Eli.
Good morning, Eli.
Jane. Thank God.
[sighs]
We just need to make sure there's nothing more serious going on.
As you know, even a minor brain bleed can induce psychosis.
Fine, but I don't have to be committed in order to run some tests.
It's a temporary hold, just while we get you assessed.
You're lucky, you know?
If Cleo hadn't insisted you be brought back to St. Benedict's,
you might have ended up on a long-term hold somewhere upstate.
[sighs]
Speaking of, what exactly were you doing at that farmhouse?
I think that farmhouse is the root of Noah's trauma.
- So, I thought if I saw it for myself-- - Would you listen to yourself?
You've lost all objectivity, Eli.
It's perfectly normal to care about a patient.
Well, he's not your patient anymore.
I'm the only one with insight into what's going on with him.
Inventing connections between yourself and your patient is a delusion,
and it's one that allows you to avoid dealing
with what's actually going on in your life.
[Jane] Noah's being transferred to Ithaca today.
He's going to be in good hands.
[Eli] No, he'll be a body in a bed with a number.
They will medicate him into a vegetable.
Please don't do this, Jane. Please don't do this. It's not too late.
It is. He leaves at 4:00.
[voice whispering] What have you done?
[Lynn] What have you done?
[echoing] Liar.
[babbling]
Denise, the doctors are here.
Oh, thank goodness.
You must be Noah.
You ready to meet your new friends today in Ithaca?
- Excuse me. Um-- Where's Dr. Wilkinson? - [Noah babbling]
She's with another patient.
[scoffs] Okay.
Uh, listen, he is not doing well, okay?
He is freezing. His lips are turning blue--
- He's having-- - Not to worry.
Uh, we'll do a quick physical,
make sure he's nice and comfortable for transport.
How's that sound with you, Noah?
[panting]
Ah, geez.
Dr. Wilkinson's waiting for you in therapy room A.
Yeah. J-- James. James. James.
- It's okay. It's all right. No, no. - All right. Easy there, doc.
- Doctor's orders, okay? - I'll take it from here. It's okay.
- It's the doctor's orders. - I know where I'm going.
It's my fucking ward.
Hi. I--
You called them?
We really need to talk about your mental health, Eli.
I'm fine.
Actually, I'm glad that you're here, Barbara,
because you're authorized to check me out.
Dad, I'm not here to bring you home.
I'm here because I'm really worried about you.
- [sighs] Are you fucking kidding me? - [Barbara] Dad.
Sit down, Eli.
Everyone in this room really cares about you.
Yeah. Okay. Listen, I-- I-- I get that you're worried,
but I'm a board-certified psychiatrist,
and I can tell you with all the certainty of my medical opinion
that I'm not a danger to myself or anyone else.
I have no fucking business being here!
I mean, look at me, I'm fine.
Dad, you're not fine.
[stammers] Do you even remember what happened up there?
Yeah, it was-- it was no big deal.
I-- I just got carried away, cleaning out my infection.
Cleo said that you were incoherent.
The paramedics had to call the cops just to get you in the ambulance.
She said that you really scared her.
There was blood everywhere, and you were shouting,
and I thought you were gonna run into traffic.
I'm really sorry, Dr. Adler, but I didn't know what else to do.
All right. Okay. All right. Listen. [sighs] Oh, boy.
Um, I wasn't taking care of myself,
and I developed a bad infection in my hand.
I should have known better,
but I've had a course of antibiotics and I'm feeling great now,
so there's no reason to hold me here any longer.
I am completely sane.
Is that why you said you killed Mom?
What?
That's what he said.
Right, Cleo?
Why would you say something like that?
All right, Barbara, listen.
Why don't we talk about this at home,
- just the two of us? - No. Why would you say that?
I said it because it's true.
[Eli sighs]
I found her after she had tried to kill herself, but it didn't work.
I thought you said that she was gone when you found her.
I thought you said that she was at peace.
I lied. She wasn't at peace. Not even close.
No, she was still alive. Barely.
What was I supposed to do?
She begged me not to leave.
She begged me to stay with her. To help her.
- How? - No.
- How did you help her? I need to know. - No.
[inhales shakily] Please.
I did it with my hands.
[breathes shakily]
Barbara, don't go. Barbara.
Barbara, please, don't go.
Please. Barbara. Do-- [sighs]
[buzzing]
- [grunting, gasping] - He's arrhythmic. Could be why he's so cold.
Page Dr. Wilkinson. We'd like to administer 2 of haloperidol
- and an IV drip during... - [Denise] But he's freezing,
and his heart's rhythm is messed up.
How is a sedative...
[distorted dialogue]
But they gave him haloperidol yesterday... [distorted dialogue]
[doctor] We just need him stabilized for the ride.
We'll run some tests once we get him checked into our facility.
What's happening? Noah. Noah.
I'm canceling the transfer.
Excuse me?
I said I'm canceling the transfer.
[Jane] Good news, Eli, your MRI came back clean.
Look, I know how much you want to get out of here,
but I got a few more tests I wanna run.
Maybe you were right, Jane.
Maybe I really am delusional.
Eli, that situation with Lynn,
that's an impossible choice to make.
And the trauma from that could cloud anyone's judgment.
Can we just not talk about it anymore?
Dr. Wilkinson, they need you in peds.
Um, Cleo said you left this in the ambulance.
She said it was important to you.
I'll be back.
- [whimpers] - [Denise] They can't help Noah.
They don't have a clue what's going on with him.
- None of you do. - All right. Denise--
No. No one is touching him. He's going home with me. That is it.
No, I'm afraid that's not your call anymore.
You've signed away your rights.
Yes, but just temporarily.
You said I had to, so he could get the help he needed.
Denise, you are not his guardian anymore.
Well, then I changed my mind.
I'm really sorry, but that's not how this works.
Noah belongs to the state now.
[Noah whimpering]
[clock ticking]
- Just keep it quick, okay? - Okay. Thank you.
Dr. Adler?
Oh, I'm s-- I'm sorry. [stammering]
They told me you were in here and I-- I didn't realize that--
- [chuckles] - Are you okay?
I just needed a little R and R.
- Are you cold? - Mm-hmm.
[sighs] Noah's cold too.
It's warm in here, and you both are shivering.
Why is that? What is going on with you two?
Transference, mass psychogenic illness, I guess? I don't know.
Okay. [sniffles]
[sighs] Look, I made a huge mistake.
I gave them permission to take Noah up to Ithaca.
He's running out of options, Dr. Adler.
He needs you.
I don't have any clue as to what's going on.
But you have a theory, right?
It's more of a feeling.
[scoffs] Oh, boy. How crazy does that sound?
So what? Just-- Just tell me, please.
'Cause-- 'Cause maybe this could help him.
[sighs]
It's a feeling that Noah knew my wife...
- and me in a previous life. - Eli.
Previous lives, actually.
[speaks Dutch]
And I think my wife had a sense of it too
because as she got closer t-to dying,
she said it was coming to her in dreams that she was putting in a book.
But I wasn't listening.
[sighs]
[exhales sharply] Okay.
Okay. So, um, what do you think your wife was trying to tell you?
That something bad happened to Noah, a long time ago at a farmhouse.
That we were all there.
Me, Noah, Lynn.
That somehow, we're three souls connected through time,
trapped by a long-ago trauma.
And that whatever happened then
is why Noah can't get better now.
Listen, I don't know what's going on,
but I do know that this child came into my life for a reason.
I knew it the second I saw him.
I'm telling you, Dr. Adler, he needs us,
and he is going to die
if you don't do something to help him.
Even if they would let me out now, Denise,
I wouldn't know how to help him.
- [sighs] - I'm sorry.
But what if you're not crazy?
What if you're the only one that sees the truth?
[phone buzzes]
- Hello? - Sophie?
Oh, hi. It's Grandpa.
Are you sick?
Mommy says we can't have Grandpa day tomorrow 'cause you're sick.
Oh, I'm sorry.
W-We'll do it another time, okay?
Gran wants to talk to you.
- No, Sophie, stop. It's-- - If you listen, you can hear her.
[Eli] Sophie? Hello?
Lynn?
[Barbara] Hello?
[breathes deeply] Barbara.
Dad. [sighs]
Hey, listen, I just wanted to say I'm sorry. For everything.
I guess I-- [inhales shakily]
I just don't understand why you didn't help her sooner.
[stammers] What do you mean?
Dad, I knew Mom wanted to die on her own terms.
For, like, a year before she passed.
She was in so much pain.
So, why didn't you help her sooner?
Look, I-- I loved her so much. I just--
[stammers] I didn't know what to do.
Why didn't you just give her whatever she wanted?
You had access to whatever she needed.
You're a doctor.
That's-- That's just it.
I'm a doctor. I'm supposed to save people.
But you were her husband.
I kept trying, but I couldn't figure it out.
I didn't know how to save her...
and without an answer, I couldn't let her go.
I-- I was frozen.
I guess she was right.
Mom always said that your blinders were your main strength
and also your biggest weakness.
[gasps]
[clock ticking]
[Noah whimpering]
[pen clicks]
[clicking]
[ticking continues]
[Jane] He leaves at 4:00.
[clicking]
[clicking amplifies]
[Jane] At 4:00.
[Charlie] Knock, knock.
[Eli sighs]
[clicking stops]
Knock, knock.
All right. Who's there?
Hal.
Hal who?
Hal will you know if you don't open the door?
[clicking continues]
[grunts]
[Lynn] Eli.
[breathes shakily]
[Noah muttering indistinctly]
[muttering continues]
[muttering indistinctly]
[doctor] Okay, buddy, we'll hit the road in just a minute.
Why hasn't he been moved to the OR? I don't want any delays on this.
He's prepped for surgery. The surgeon just wants imaging to make sure
there's no major damage to the ulnar artery.
Okay.
How you doing, Eli?
Where is he?
He was just here five minutes ago.
[panting, muttering]
Hey, hey!
Are you taking me home?
We're both going home.
