Sullivan's Crossing

Hello?

(WHISPERING) It's a shame. Someone should've saved those boys.

We're losing him, Dr. Sullivan.

- What... Why is she here?

Dad.

Why are you here?

- (HEART BEATING LOUDLY) - (MACHINES BEEPING LOUDLY)

Don't go.

Don't go. (ECHOING)

: Hello?

Scott, it's... it's Maggie.

I've thought about it and I think I need to come home.

I can't just sit here and do nothing

while she tries to discredit me.

It's my reputation and...

: These situations tend to resolve quickly.

Listen. I'll call the hospital.

See what they wanna do.

I'll let you know once there's news.

Bye.

Oh. You don't have any aspirin.

Come on, Sully. Expired?

Jeez.

- (TAPS SQUEAKING) - (LAUGHING)

- (TAPS SQUEAKING) - Really?

You got this.

Ugh.

Ugh.

Come on.

Maggie.

Walter and I spoke about the lawsuit

and he really wants to help you out on this.

Now, he has left word at MacMillan, Bosworth, and Schultz.

They are the best in the business.

I have a lawyer, Mom.

: Well... thank... let...

They said to tell you

that you shouldn't worry about this lawsuit at all.

Mom.

They are the best in the business, sweetheart!

- (RECEPTION BREAKING) - You're breaking up.

Can... hear... me?

I can't hear you. I'll just...

I'll call you when I get back, okay?

Thank you.

- How's your morning going? - Ugh, great, thanks.

You look like you could use a coffee.

Hey, I got a fresh pot goin'. Want me to get you some?

Thanks.

M'kay.

Sorry. Do you mind?

I just... I have a bit of a headache.

Sorry. It's a nervous habit.

I make you nervous?

Pshh. Not at all.

I gotta head out, Rob.

I gotta go help Sully with some things today.

Here you go. Keep the change.

Cheers. - See ya later.

I hope your day gets better, Dr. Sullivan.

What's his story?

- Cal? - Mm.

Nice guy. Don't know much more really.

Helps Sully out. Keeps to himself a lot.

Hm.

- Rob. - Yeah?

Finn's gonna be late again if you don't leave right now.

Ah, shoot. I didn't realize the time.

You got everything?

- Yes, I do. - EpiPen?

- Yep. Homework?

Got it. - Lunch?

Right! Thanks.

- Love you, sis. - Love you too.

Thought you were heading back home.

Yeah, change of plans.

- Why? - Mm.

So, are you gonna tell me what's goin' on, or what?

I don't know where I'd start.

How about the beginning?

One of the partners at my practice

has been indicted for billing fraud

and my reputation is collateral damage.

And then last night, I found out that I'm also being sued

by a mother of one of my patients.

Wow. Okay.

- I was not expecting that. - Yeah, me neither.

So, what are you gonna do?

I mean, I can't go back to work

until I've been officially cleared of any wrongdoing, so, I...

How long will that take?

I don't know. It depends if it goes to trial.

Wait. You think it'll go that far?

I hope not.

I mean, I didn't do anything wrong, but you just...

You never know with these things.

What about you?

I thought you'd be in Milan or New York.

- Yeah, I was in New York. - How come you came back?

Apparently dating your manager when you're a model

is not a good career move.

Who knew?

So, when Rob called and told me about Sarah,

I decided to come back and help.

One year turned into two, and then three.

After a while, I realized I was not going anywhere.

You know how this place is.

Once you're here, it's hard to leave.

S'cuse me. - Oh.

Oh, I see you decided to have breakfast at the Outpost?

Picked up some muffins at the bakery.

When I got home, you were gone.

Right. Uh...

Want some?

I'm good. Thank you.

Uh, do you have a fax machine?

Uh... I don't know.

It's back there somewhere. What do you need it for?

Oh, I have to get some medical records sent up.

No E-mail at that fancy hospital of yours?

Standard practice. Privacy laws.

- Hey, Maggie? - Mm?

When you're finished,

I'm gonna need you to restock the shelves.

You know the rules. No freeloaders.

Wow.

- What? - (LAUGHING)

Morning, Edna. What is that smell?

Fish. (SIGHING) It's the fridge.

Told Sully we needed a new one, but he wouldn't listen.

This old thing has been here as long as Frank and I have.

So that should tell you somethin'.

Like I don't have enough to do.

Today's my day to check in on Roy.

I even made him a lobster casserole.

But, I guess you didn't come in here

to hear me complain.

Can I borrow a pen and some paper?

Yeah.

Thank you.

Sully said you might have a fax machine in here?

Yeah. It's in there.

Holy!

You look like a woman on a mission.

Yeah, somethin' like that.

Do you know how this thing works?

Oh, it's been a while.

There might be a manual in there somewhere, or here.

Oh, look who showed up.

Sorry. Forgot to set my alarm.

That's twice this week. No more excuses.

You work here? You show up on time.

- Won't happen again. - Better not.

Oh, and that fancy lady from Beacon Hill came by.

Told her to wait for you down at the practice site.

Oh, thanks.

Oh, and can you help Maggie with that?

- Oh, come on. - What is that?

- A fax machine. - A what?

- (LAUGHING) - A fax...
