Mary Kills People

You look like you have a lot on your mind.

I do.

Well, come and sit.

Stay for a while.

I haven't been in a church in a very long time.

Not a believer?

I'm a doctor. I believe in Science.

Mm-hmm. Miracles of modern medicine.

Miracles...

Right.

I'm simply pointing out that science and faith are not

mutually exclusive.

How are you feeling?

I'm about five months now, so it's starting to feel real.

I guess I'm...

tired, happy, scared.

I can help, if you like.

How do we start?

You tell me your sins.

I feel like I have a...

... a calling.

But this thing, it affects everyone around me.

And they pay the price for the choices I make.

And I'm afraid this baby will too.

Go on.

I have lied to the people I love the most.

I've hurt them, and I've lost them.

And in the last 24 years,

I've killed 49 people.

But I can't stop.

I play God over and over again.

And I don't know if I do it

for them or for me.

- Dr. Harris... - I know.

Doubt is the key to faith.

Yes. May God give you peace...

and pardon.

I absolve you...

of all your sins.

- Thank you. - Amen.

Almighty Jesus...

... forgive us for our sins.

Save us from the fires of Hell.

Lead all souls

into heaven,

especially those in need of thy mercy,

through your saving grace, Lord.

Souls of the faithful departed,

rest in peace.

Father...

Parkdale nature walk,

scenic 2.5 acres complete with flora,

fauna, birds and butterflies.

Well, probably not a lot of butterflies today.

- Why not? - It's cold.

Most butterflies die in the winter.

Jess, do we need to worry about your applications?

Jess? I know you're in love,

but Heather can wait.

- Is everything okay? - Yeah. Fine.

Everything's good.

Um... Yeah, college stuff's not due for a few weeks.

Anyways, I'm on it. I gotta write those pre-med essays,

- but I have some ideas. - So, Cambie,

I could pick you up at the field trip after work.

Oh, no, you don't... you don't have to.

- Maybe I want to. - Okay.

It's just that...

it's kind of embarrassing.

You're... old and pregnant.

You don't even have a boyfriend, so...

- It's kind of weird. - Okay, wow.

It's okay. I get that it's hard to wrap your head around it all.

It's hard for me too sometimes.

- Good morning. - Good morning Dr. Harris.

Morning, Dr. Harris.

You know, I've been meaning to talk to about something.

- What's that? - You are... glowing,

and I find it highly annoying. I prefer the dull,

- pale pallor of my people. - I'll work on it.

Old Colon Cancer's been a bit peaky.

- We should check on him in a bit. - Des, can you try to call them

by their real names please?

You have your way, I have mine.

Breakfast, dinner, that's how the farmers do it.

Adorable little pigs and cows. You can't give them a name

not unless you want to get attached, which I do not.

Living the dream.

Look... see?

Our system is working.

- Heart Disease. - Glen, please!

He knows he's out today, so he's saying

a discreet goodbye to his...

rather attractive niece.

We should just simply be glad she got a chance to see

her beloved uncle before he dies

an inevitable and natural death.

Oh, finally! Bingo card replacements.

Some new bumpy-covered thrillers, a couple

- of fidget spinners... - Fidget spinners?

I've had a few requests.

It's a hospice.

No Des, it's a home.

Glen, huh? God, it seems like he just got here.

We'll need Pento for him. Did you get the dose

- out of the storage unit? - I did.

However, I'm starting to feel like we're short.

I'm concerned about our Pento supply.

I've been keeping inventory

and I feel like we're just missing a few boxes...

Well, when did you start?

- Start what? - Keeping track.

I don't know. Two months ago?

So then, how do you know we're short?

See, that's the thing about an inventory.

It's like do re mi, you have to start at the very beginning.

Excuse me? I'm sorry to bother you.

- Ah, no. No, no. Come in. - I'm just concerned about my uncle.

Glen, yes. Of course,

He's one of my favourites. How can we help?

He can't find his photo album. He seems a little obsessed.

I'm just wondering if any of you have seen it?

I haven't, but I would love to. I bet he's got some great stories.

Let's go take a look right now.

- Gail? You ready to go home? - I guess.

- How are you feeling? - I'm basically in constant agony.

But, you know, other than that.

Do you want me to talk to Dr. Dunn before you leave?

Maybe we can increase your pain medication.

He keeps saying I might have another year.

I don't want another year.

Not like this.

I can't. And I won't.

Annie, we're friends.

You know what I want.

Why do you always have to give Nicole such a hard time?

Oh, I think I've been more than indulgent.

Have I said one word about the butterflies?

I actually think it's helpful for the other patients

to know who's nearing the end.

Yeah, which is why I haven't said anything.

I'm merely suggesting she spends

less time ordering games

and a little more on the important things.

Like keeping track of our Pento supply.

I'm sure it was just an oversight.

Math was never Nicole's strong suit.

- Annie, hi! - Ah, there she is!

Our lovely Charon on the river Styx,

our ferry woman to the other side.

Not how I see myself. Ken Wong, 63, leukemia.

He's on the fence, we'll see if he calls you.

But this one is a definite yes. Lucy Oliviera, 36, lupus,

incurable kidney disease as a result.

- She'll be in for a consultation tomorrow. - Oh, lovely.

Nice and terminal. Just how we like them.

Wow, you are in rare form today.

I gotta roll.

I'll walk you out.

- How are things at the hospital? - You win some, you lose some. You?

It's harder than I thought.

Sometimes, I miss the hospital.

Helping people in other ways, you know?

Des is happy though.

Yeah, a real pig in shit.

Father O'Connell?

Nice guy. He try to convert you?

I'm a tough nut to crack.

Gail Rahimi, 42, sickle cell disease.

She's a friend. Real estate agent.

She actually sold me my condo.

It says she's got a year left.

Yeah, that's Dr. Dunn. He always over-promises.

That's why I'm giving her to you.

She's not dying fast enough for Des to let her in here.

You heard him. He likes them nice and terminal.

- The timing's not good. - Please, Mary?

She's in agony. And desperate.

She's gonna do it herself if someone doesn't help her.

Okay. I'll see her tomorrow.

Thank you. I'll let her know.

See?

You're helping a lot of people.

Here and on the outside.

Yeah, I guess so.

The bell's broken, bitch, but you'd know that

if you'd been here in the past what, four months?

Oh, my God. Jess.

Jesus, Jess, what... what happened?

Um... Heather dumped me.

- Can I come in? - Yeah, come in.

I... I've been like,

texting her for a week, and then she just...

She just broke up with me.

Like an hour ago, she sent me a text.

Classy.

I don't know. What did your other friends say about it?

Well, she was my other friend.

Hmm. And your mom?

Um, I didn't tell her.
