Blackout

There is no chance

no destiny...

no fate

There's only what you take from the world

and what the world takes from you.

I miss you...

you know?

Sometimes I think about the way you were,

the way you treated me,

the good times,

the bad times

And I just wish I could have another chance at things.

Stop me if you've heard this one before

You will always be my girl.

Karl?

Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.

No, I'm fine.

We've been through all this before.

Are those for Mommy?

Yeah

Did you pick them? Mm-hmm

They're pretty.

Nikky's bag's in the car

I can go grab it if you two want to be alone.

Actually, I wanted to...

I meant to ask you,

do you think maybe you could keep her till tomorrow?

But, Daddy, you promised.

I got something I need to take care of

I know, baby. Look, I'm sorry.

I'll make it up to you.

Please

Just this once?

Oh, it's not a problem.

But can we

Hey, Nikky, did you want to play something?

Do you want to play Marco Polo?

Yeah. Go on

So what's going on?

Is it something at the hospital?

Something like that, yeah.

I'm worried about you.

I'm doing better and better

Daddy, I'm ready.

Marco

Polo

Yet we always seem to find you here.

I like to come visit

You know, I like to tell her what I've been up to.

I just...

Nikky's been making so much progress.

Come on, Daddy!

Marco

Polo!

I feel like coming here sets her back a little, you know?

Seeing you like this, I think she worries,

after what her mother did,

that you, if you got depressed enough, might-

Never

Look, I love Nikky more than anything in the world.

Nothing's going to happen to her.

Nothing. I promise.

Marco

Polo!

I'll bring her by at 2:30 tomorrow

Great

Sharp. Sure

Boo!

See you tomorrow, okay?

Dr. Tewis, call ER stat.

Dr. Tewis, call ER stat.

Dr. Tewis, call ER stat.

Miss Matera?

I want to see her

Yeah, Claudia, you will.

I just think we should have a word first

Okay, tell me.

We did our best,

and the operation was successful,

but with patients her age,

the body just can't handle the stress

I'm sorry.

At this point, it's a matter of time

Hey.

Hi, Karl.

Listen, just to confirm, we do need you tonight.

What about Dr Stark?

He asked for a day off.

Again? Jesus Christ

That guy takes more days off-

I know, but we need you, Karl.

I know, but I can't. I physically can't.

You know, I'm sorry, but I'm not on call

You're out of the city?

I've got something I have to do

Something you have to-

Yeah, something for my daughter.

Yeah, okay, Karl. Well, thanks anyway.

I'm sorry to bother you.

Okay, bye.

Oh, hello, ladies, let me give you-

Here, let me help you with some of that stuff

Oh, thank you so much.

You heading away for the 4th of July, Miss Maurie?

Oh, they're turning us out again.

Units ready, units not ready,

this building.

Okay.

Can you manage?

Good-bye, Lana.

Bye. Thank you.

Good-bye, Karl.

Chloe. Hey.

Thanks

And stay out of the heat, ladies

Oh, I will.

That's comforting.

You know, they don't always open.

I've seen some nasty accidents.

Yeah, I'll keep that in mind.

Okay, what did you hit, kid?

I didn't hit anything.

I'm kidding.

We'll be up and running any second now.

Any second now.

Told you it didn't sound good.

It could be a silent alarm

We're not in a bank

I have my phone.

There's no service

Yeah, I probably shouldn't use any more minutes anyhow.

That's clever

Lighten up, kid.

Look, I got somewhere to be, okay?

Well, I don't, you know?

I was actually hoping this might happen.

God, Christ, my life is empty.

I have just captured the perfect image of angst.

Erase the picture.

Why?

Just do it

Just fuckin' do it

Okay?

She needs it

Sorry.

Claudia?

Claudia, where did you put them?

Put what?

Oh, don't be coy with me.

They were right here.

I don't go around hiding your asthma inhaler.

My inhaler's not gonna kill me.

50 years from now, who knows?

Mm, scientists.

There you go.

Aren't you going to join me?

No, I can't.

I have a to-do list a mile long.

I should have never gone to bed last night.

Are you going out like that?

I left my black veil at the cleaners

I want more skin, not less

We live on the beach. What are you, a nun?

Yes, Abuela, I am a nun

When I was your age, I set this town on fire

Let's go to the beach.

Uh-uh. I can't

Mid-terms start next week

Life is for living.

I know I know

I'm trying to do that.

I just...

have to take care of some stuff first

Listen, I love you, so don't take this the wrong way,

but you are starting to suck.

If you don't break, you'll bend.

Isn't it, if you don't bend, you'll break, I think?

No, no. No, it's not.

I mean, if you don't start taking breaks and breathe,

you'll mist into someone really horrible.

Okay, we'll go to the beach,

just for a little while.

Keep Calm.

You are not in danger.

Got any water in here, dude?

In most cases,

the elevator mechanic will arrive in 30 minutes

01:38 and counting.

Hey.

Hey.

Where you going?

Where do you think? The ladies bathroom

You look good tonight.

I think your friends- I think they're leaving.

I think we're at floor level

What do you think?

Yeah, it's worth a look. Yeah

Be careful. Be careful

Hey, can you give us a hand?

What do you expect me to do? My hands are sweaty too.
