The Last Smile

Look, I have been waiting here

for the past two hours.

- And sir, I just told you we cannot release the records

unless we have written from the patient.

How am I to get the written permission?

- I'm sorry, it's not only the hospital policy

but the state requires it.

I am his father, for heaven sake!

- The patient is an adult and the patient privacy

applies to all adult patients.

My son is dead.

He is dead! (taps)

Don't you understand.

How do you suggest I get his permission, huh?

Sir, you don't have to raise your voice.

I'm only stating hospital policy.

Is everything okay here?

I'm sorry.

It's all right.

- This picture of my son was taken two days before he died.

He looked so happy.

Something went wrong, terribly wrong.

I just want to find out.

Please help me.

Please.

I can't release the records, I'm sorry,

but try this number and they'll be able

to help you.

Thank you.

So do you know how old you are today?

Yeah, I'm 17.

Yeah, that's pretty grownup.

I know.

- It's very grownup. - Baba, what about,

can I go?

So you better shape up

and make plans and see what you have to do in your life

'cause life is not easy, it's very tough.

- Baba, Baba. - Too short.

- You can't bring homemade food in everyday.

The local restaurants depend on us.

Tell you what, if you're not hungry, I'll just help myself.

Ah, curried potatoes.

Lentils, my favorite.

My thanks to your missus.

Thank you.

Lindsay and I went to a Bollywood movie the other day.

The heroine reminded me of this Indian girl

from my undergrad days.

She was something.

The house across

the same street sold for higher

than the listed price.

That shouldn't be a problem.

We really like this house.

It is a very good property.

Actually, we're expecting another baby.

Congratulations.

It's a very good school district.

Quiet neighborhood.

Ah, just, thank you.

You need to stop moving.

You have a lot of plaque.

This is what happens

when you miss your appointments.

Phil, I need your help.

- Susan, would you finish him up for me please

and set up an appointment for him in six months,

and don't miss it or I'll be pulling all your teeth out

and trust me, you'll find that a lot more painful.

Floss once in a while.

I'm glad you came.

There's a new restaurant in town, great reviews.

Not this time, Phil.

I've got something important.

It's addressed to Amit.

Read it.

- "Dear Amit, we hope you are enjoying a healthy lifestyle

"and continuing to benefit

"from our weight loss supplements."

I don't get it.

Why was he worried about weight loss?

Kareeba Health Sciences.

- Okay, people, it's time to bring up a man

you've been waiting for.

The one, the only, the rockstar.

Put your hands together and make some noise for Drexel King.

How are you guys?

Woo!

Thank you, thank you, friends.

Thank you.

Thank you, thank you so much.

Drexel!

I love you, too.

Thank you.

This is our 10th successful year

of championing healthy living and I couldn't be prouder

to announce the launch of our next generation

of weight loss product, Kareeba Ultra.

Ultra, ultra, ultra!

Dr. Lawrence.

Yes?

I was waiting to speak with you.

Do I know you?

- Not exactly but you knew my son, Amit Raina.

You were his GP for many years.

I'm his father Kapil Raina.

What can I do for you?

My son was taking these pills.

What are these?

Weight loss supplements.

I wanted to find out if they had any effect on his body.

I tried to get his health records but, you know.

- Yeah, you can go to the medical records department

at the clinic.

I did, I did and they sent me (coughs)

a whole lot of information, some from when he was 17

and bruised his hand.

I just don't know what to make of all this.

- I'm sorry, I don't know how I can help you.

- Well, I was hoping you could check his files

and check his blood work in the ER, you know,

to see if these pills had any effect on his body.

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

Doctor, you knew my son for many years.

You can access his records.

I can but I would lose my job over that.

I'm very sorry, excuse me.

- Sorry, may I get a glass of water, please?

Well, I'm very sorry for your loss.

- I've been here since four in the morning.

I can't sleep.

Actually, that's been happening for the last two years,

slowly eating away at me.

Your daughter?

Yes, she's 14.

Such a pretty girl.

I loved my son very much.

Don't do it for me, do it for him.

Please.

Oh for Christ sake.

I don't want your money, just put that away.

Please.

No promises, okay.

And no one else can know about this,

you understand that, right?

I appreciate it.

- Just for the record, I don't like being stalked.

- Your Mrs. Sharma should get an antenna put in her head

so she can have a 24 hour news service.

I'm fed up with these people, I tell you.

What were you doing at the hospital?

Kapil, your silence is not going to solve any problems.

I went to get his medical records.

I'm telling you, Rashmi, there was something wrong

in those pills that he was taking.

How long will you go on like this?

Just let him go.

He's happy wherever he is.

We could have saved

But we didn't.

Just accept it.

- What did you get from worshiping your God

for all those hours, huh?

You know what your problem is?

No, tell me.

Look, I just want answers.

Now can we drop this subject

and I can finish eating my khana.

- You're looking for answers when you don't even know

what the question is.

Where were you?
