 KAREN: MMM. MMM.
 JOE: PLEASE, PLEASE,
DON'T GO TO WORK.
 KAREN: I HAVE TO.
 JOE: YOU CAN --
YOU CAN CALL IN SICK.
 KAREN: I CAN'T.
THE HOSPITAL IS SHORT-HANDED,
AND I -- I'M LUCKY I DON'T HAVE
TO WORK A DOUBLE SHIFT.
 JOE: I CAN'T BELIEVE MY LUCK.
I FINALLY GET BACK FROM GREECE,
AND YOU'RE NOT EVEN GOING TO BE
HERE.
 KAREN: I KNOW. I KNOW.
I'M SO SORRY, BUT I WILL MAKE IT
UP TO YOU TONIGHT.
WE HAVE A LOT OF CATCHING UP
TO DO.
I GOT TO GO.
 JOE: OK, LISTEN.
CAN'T YOU STAY HERE A LITTLE
WHILE LONGER AND WE CAN GO UP
TO MY ROOM?
 KAREN: I --
 JOE: COME ON.
 KAREN: NO.
COME ON, THAT WOULD BE FUN.
WE'LL BE IN YOUR ROOM,
AND ACROSS THE HALL WILL BE
YOUR MOM AND NEIL PLAYING
"WHERE'S WALDO?"
 JOE: ALL RIGHT, WELL, WE CAN
GO TO YOUR PLACE.
 KAREN: WE WILL.
TONIGHT.
 JOE: ALL RIGHT, LISTEN.
WAIT.
IF YOU DECIDE THAT YOU CAN'T
WAIT UNTIL TONIGHT, JUST TELL
THE HOSPITAL THAT YOU QUIT,
AND I WILL BE AT YOUR PLACE
INSIDE OF 15 MINUTES.
 KAREN: OK.
 JOE: SAY IT.
 COURTNEY: OK, OK.
OK, YOU WON.
 JOE: AND?
 COURTNEY: OH.
YOU ARE THE MIGHTY JOE SCANLON.
 JOE: THANK YOU.
 CHRIS: WHAT THE HELL IS THIS
"NOTIFICATION OF TERMINATION"?
LANCE PHARMACEUTICALS THINKS
THAT THEY CAN JUST END
MY CONTRACT LIKE THAT.
I MEAN, YOU'RE CRAZY.
WHAT?
NO, WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE IN THIS
TOGETHER.
YOU PEOPLE PROMISED ME A LAWYER
FROM THE COMPANY WOULD BE THERE
WHEN I GO FACE THE REVIEW BOARD.
NO, NO.
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.
YOU HAD BETTER SUPPLY ME
WITH LEGAL REPRESENTATION THAT
IS EQUIVALENT OF CLARENCE
DARROW, JOHNNIE COCHRAN,
AND PERRY MASON ALL ROLLED
INTO ONE, OR I'M GOING TO MAKE
SURE THAT EVERY PHARMACEUTICAL
COMPANY ON THE PLANET HAS A COPY
OF THE DL-56 FORMULA.
AND I'LL TELL YOU WHAT --
WHY DON'T YOU FIGURE OUT WHAT
YOUR MARKET SHARE WILL BE THEN?
WHY DON'T YOU FIGURE OUT WHAT
YOUR MARKET SHARE WILL BE THEN?
[CAPTIONING MADE POSSIBLE BY
NCI'S CORPORATE PARTNERS]
 COURTNEY: HI.
 NURSE: HI.
 COURTNEY: I'M COURTNEY
KANELOS.
DR. JOE SCANLON CALLED ABOUT
DR. JOE SCANLON CALLED ABOUT
AN HOUR AGO TO MAKE
AN APPOINTMENT FOR ME.
I JUST RETURNED FROM GREECE,
AND I WAS STUNG BY A SEA URCHIN
THERE, SO HE SUGGESTED I HAVE
SOME FOLLOW-UP TESTS.
 NURSE: OK.
YOUR APPOINTMENT WAS
WITH DR. BOARDMAN, AND HE'S BEEN
CALLED AWAY ON AN EMERGENCY
CONSULTATION.
BUT, YOU KNOW, I CAN SET YOU UP
WITH ANOTHER DOCTOR IF YOU'D
LIKE.
 COURTNEY: WELL, I'M ALREADY
HERE.
I'D LIKE TO GET IT OVER WITH.
 NURSE: OH, SURE.
OK. ALL RIGHT.
OH -- DR. WEXLER?
DO YOU HAVE TIME TO SEE
MS. KANELOS?
 KAREN: UH --
YEAH, SURE.
 NURSE: HERE.
 KAREN: THANKS.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
 MAN: CHRIS RAMSEY?
 CHRIS: YES?
 MAN: DARREN LEOPOLD.
I'LL BE REPRESENTING
YOU ON BEHALF OF LANCE
PHARMACEUTICALS.
 CHRIS: WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?
 DARREN: LET ME START OFF
BY SAYING THAT THE CONVERSATION
YOU HAD WITH MR. PORTER AT LANCE
WAS SIMPLY A MISUNDERSTANDING.
 CHRIS: FINE.
APOLOGY ACCEPTED.
WHAT'S YOUR GAME PLAN?
 DARREN: WELL, IN REVIEWING
THE MATERIAL, IT'S CLEAR TO ME
THAT YOU ARE NOT THE PARTY
AT FAULT.
IN FACT, I PLAN TO MAKE A CASE
THAT YOUR EFFORTS TO FIND A CURE
SHOULD BE CONSIDERED HEROIC.
 CHRIS: I LIKE THAT CASE.
 DARREN: I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT.
 CHRIS: BUT YOU'RE STILL GOING
TO NEED A FALL GUY, NOW THAT
LANCE ISN'T GOING TO HANG ME OUT
TO DRY.
I MEAN, TWO PEOPLE ARE DEAD,
AND I DON'T THINK PEOPLE ARE
GOING TO BE SATISFIED
WITH "OOPS, SORRY" AS
AN EXPLANATION.
 DARREN: YES, WELL,
WE'RE GOING TO PUT THE BLAME
RIGHT WHERE IT BELONGS --
ON FRANK SCANLON.
 FRANK: HEY, WHAT ARE
YOU DOING HERE?
 JOE: I DO LIVE HERE,
REMEMBER?
 FRANK: THOUGHT YOU'D BE
WITH KAREN.
 JOE: JUST MY LUCK, I GET BACK
FROM GREECE, AND KAREN IS
ON ROTATION.
 FRANK: OH, GOODY.
THAT MEANS I GET TO SPEND
THE WHOLE DAY WITH MY PRECIOUS
LITTLE BROTHER WHO I MISSED
SO MUCH.
 JOE: YEAH, WELL,
LITTLE BROTHER THINKS OLDER
BROTHER IS A COUPLE CANS SHORT
OF A SIX-PACK.
 FRANK: OH, COME ON.
I'M JUST SO EXCITED.
NOW I GET TO HEAR THE WHOLE
STORY.
 JOE: THE WHOLE STORY?
 FRANK: YEAH.
THE WHOLE, UNCENSORED "KAREN
AND MOM AREN'T ANYWHERE
AROUND" TRUTH ABOUT YOUR STAY
ON A DESERTED ISLAND
WITH A CURVACEOUS BLONDE WHO WAS
DYING TO JUMP YOUR BONES BEFORE
YOU LEFT.
 JOE: OH.
 THAT STORY.
 FRANK: YEAH, YEAH.
COME ON, NOW.
THIS IS YOUR BROTHER ASKING.
I WANT DETAILS.
 JOE: ALL RIGHT, BUT YOU'VE
GOT TO PROMISE NOT TO TELL
ANYBODY.
 FRANK: MY LIPS ARE SEALED.
 JOE: NO, I MEAN IT, FRANK.
 FRANK: SCOUT'S HONOR.
 JOE: OK.
WELL, THERE WE WERE,
DESERTED ON THE ISLAND,
SOAKING WET IN OUR CLOTHES --
FREEZING TO DEATH, WITH ONLY
EACH OTHER TO KEEP US WARM.
 FRANK: I GET THE PICTURE.
 JOE: ONE THING LED
TO ANOTHER.
BEFORE YOU CAN SAY "UNFORESEEN
CIRCUMSTANCES" WE ARE DOING IT
EVERYWHERE -- ON THE ROCKS,
ON THE BEACH, ON THE GRASS,
IN THE PLANE, IN THE HELICOPTER.
THAT WAS INTERESTING.
 FRANK: ARE YOU SERIOUS?
 JOE: NO.
 FRANK: YOU MEAN, YOU DIDN'T
DO ANYTHING?
 JOE: NOTHING.
 FRANK: NOT EVEN --
 JOE: NADA, ZIP, ZERO.
 FRANK: YEAH, WELL,
IT COULD'VE HAPPENED.
 JOE: BUT IT DIDN'T.
 FRANK: YEAH, WELL, LIKE YOU'D
TELL ME IF IT DID.
 JOE: I WOULD TELL YOU.
BUT NOTHING HAPPENED.
 FRANK: WELL, I'M SURE IT
WASN'T FOR LACK OF TRYING
ON COURTNEY'S PART.
 JOE: CAN I HELP IT IF I'M
IRRESISTIBLE?
 FRANK: YEAH, RIGHT.
JOE CASANOVA.
 JOE: FRANK, I HAVE ENOUGH
AS IT IS ON MY PLATE BETWEEN
MY JOB, KAREN, AND NEIL.
THE LAST THING I NEED TO DO IS
CONVOLUTE THINGS BY SLEEPING
WITH COURTNEY.
 FRANK: I'M GLAD YOU FOUND
NEIL.
 JOE: YEAH.
ME, TOO.
BUT I GOT TO TELL YOU, IT WAS
TOUCH-AND-GO FOR A WHILE.
I MEAN, AT ONE POINT, I THOUGHT
COURTNEY AND I WERE GOING TO END
UP IN JAIL.
 FRANK: THEN YOU COULD'VE BEEN
PEN PALS WITH JULIE.
 JOE: HOW IS SHE?
 FRANK: SHE'S GOING FROM BAD
TO WORSE.
 JOE: I'M SORRY TO HEAR THAT.
 FRANK: YOU KNOW ABOUT
THE ESCAPE, DON'T YOU?
 JOE: JUST BITS AND PIECES
THAT VICTOR TOLD ME.
 FRANK: SHE TRIED TO GET ME
TO HELP HER.
SHE TOLD ME SHE WAS PREGNANT.
 JOE: SHE'S NOT, IS SHE?
 FRANK: NO. NO.
SHE WAS JUST DOING ANYTHING
POSSIBLE TO GET OUT OF JAIL,
AND IT WORKED.
 JOE: SO DOES JULIE STILL
THINK THAT SHE'S COOPER'S
SISTER?
 FRANK: NO. NO.
SEE, GARCIA AND I CORNERED
COOPER AND JULIE IN A TUNNEL
UNDERNEATH STANTON'S OLD HOUSE.
AND COOPER THOUGHT IT WAS OVER
AND HE TRIED TO KILL JULIE,
AND THAT PRETTY MUCH CLUED
HER IN TO THE FACT THAT HE'D
BEEN LYING TO HER.
 JOE: WELL, IT'S BETTER THAT
THE TRUTH IS OUT, RIGHT?
I MEAN, AS FAR AS HER GETTING
BETTER?
 FRANK: I DON'T KNOW IF SHE'LL
EVER GET BETTER, JOE.
NOW SHE'S HALLUCINATING
CONVERSATIONS WITH HER FATHER.
 JOE: WOW.
SO, WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
 FRANK: THE COURT PSYCHIATRIST
DOESN'T THINK THAT SHE'S GOING
TO BE COMPETENT ENOUGH TO STAND
TRIAL, WHICH IS A GOOD THING
BECAUSE IT MEANS SHE WON'T HAVE
A DEATH SENTENCE, ONLY
A LIFETIME IN A PSYCH WARD.
 JOE: IS THERE ANYTHING THAT
I CAN DO?
 FRANK: NO.
I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYTHING
ANY OF US CAN DO.
 JOE: I'M SURPRISED TO HEAR
YOU SAY THAT.
 FRANK: WELL, I'M JUST TAKING
THE ADVICE THAT YOU GAVE ME
AFTER WE FIRST FOUND OUT JULIE
WAS THE KILLER.
I'M GETTING ON WITH MY LIFE,
AND I'M LETTING HER GET
ON WITH HERS.
 JOE: WHAT CHANGED?
 FRANK: WELL, LET'S JUST SAY
JULIE AND I REACHED A MUTUAL
AGREEMENT THAT IT'S BETTER OFF
FOR BOTH OF US IF WE JUST STAY
AWAY FROM EACH OTHER.
I WANT HER TO GET THE HELP
SHE NEEDS, BUT I'M NOT THE GUY
TO GIVE IT TO HER.
 JOE: IT'S PRETTY TOUGH
TO COME TO THAT CONCLUSION, HUH?
 FRANK: I'M FINE.
 JOE: I'M GLAD.
SO I HEARD YOU GOT THE FLU
DURING THE EPIDEMIC.
 FRANK: WHAT ELSE DID
YOU HEAR?
 JOE: THERE'S MORE?
 FRANK: KAREN DIDN'T TELL YOU?
 JOE: TELL ME WHAT?
 FRANK: WELL, I GUESS IT'S
BETTER THAT YOU HEAR IT FROM ME
THAN SOMEBODY ELSE.
 JOE: HEAR WHAT?
 FRANK: CHRIS RAMSEY AND I ARE
THE ONES RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE OUTBREAK.
 JOE: RESPONSIBLE HOW?
 FRANK: I TOOK SOME TAINTED
MEDICATION AND GOT SICK.
 JOE: WHAT KIND OF MEDICATION?
 FRANK: DL-56.
 JOE: FRANK, WHEN DID
YOU START TAKING DL-56 AGAIN?
 FRANK: I NEVER GOT OFF IT.
 JOE: WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT
YOU NEVER GOT OFF OF DL-56,
FRANK?
KAREN, JULIE, AND I WATCHED
YOU AROUND THE CLOCK THROUGH
DETOX.
 FRANK: RAMSEY GOT WIND
OF MY DEPENDENCY, AND HE SLIPPED
INTO MY ROOM WHILE NONE
OF YOU WERE LOOKING, AND HE MADE
ME AN OFFER I COULDN'T REFUSE.
 JOE: WHAT KIND OF OFFER?
 FRANK: HE'D SUPPLY ME
THE DRUG IF I WOULD LET HIM RUN
TESTS ON ME.
HE WAS TRYING TO PERFECT IT.
 JOE: WHY DIDN'T --
WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST TELL ME?
 FRANK: BECAUSE YOU WOULD HAVE
TRIED TO MAKE ME QUIT THE DRUG,
AND I THOUGHT GOING OFF IT WOULD
KILL ME.
 JOE: OH, GOD!
THIS IS JUST LIKE RAMSEY.
I MEAN, TO KICK SOMEBODY WHEN
THEY'RE ALREADY DOWN.
 FRANK: BELIEVE ME, NO ONE HAS
LESS RESPECT FOR THAT SCUMBUCKET
THAN I DO.
BUT I MADE THE CHOICE TO STAY
ON THE DRUG, AND I HAVE GOT
TO COP TO SOME OF THE
RESPONSIBILITY.
 JOE: HOW DOES THIS HAVE
ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE FLU
OUTBREAK?
 FRANK: WELL, AFTER RUNNING
A BUNCH OF TESTS, RAMSEY SAID
THAT MY IMMUNE SYSTEM
ON DL-56 WAS IN OVERDRIVE,
AND HE THOUGHT MAYBE THE DRUG
WOULD BE EFFECTIVE IN KILLING
FLU VIRUSES.
 JOE: SO A CURE FOR THE FLU.
SO IF DL-56 COULD DO THAT,
RAMSEY WOULD MAKE BILLIONS.
 FRANK: AND THAT'S WHAT
HE THOUGHT, TOO.
SO TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT,
HE MIXED DL-56 WITH NORMAL FLU
VIRUSES, LOOKING FOR A CURE,
AND INSTEAD HE CREATED
A SUPERFLU.
AND WHEN HE WASN'T AROUND,
I TOOK SOME OF WHAT I THOUGHT
WAS NORMAL DL-56 WHEN HE WASN'T
LOOKING.
 JOE: BUT IT WASN'T JUST
NORMAL DL-56.
THIS WAS MEDICATION WITH SOME
SUPERFLU THAT THAT MANIAC
CREATED.
 FRANK: YEAH.
ONLY IT WAS ABOUT 100 TIMES MORE
VIRULENT THAN THE ORIGINAL
STRAIN.
 JOE: YEAH, I KNOW, FRANK.
TWO PEOPLE DIED.
 FRANK: AND I CAN'T TELL
YOU HOW AWFUL I FEEL ABOUT THAT.
 JOE: HOW DID RAMSEY GET
HIS HANDS ON THE DL-56 FORMULA,
ANYWAY?
 FRANK: WELL, IT TURNS OUT
THAT HE WAS WORKING WITH BENNETT
DEVLIN ON THE SLY BEFORE DEVLIN
WAS KILLED.
 JOE: THAT FIGURES.
 FRANK: A MATCH MADE IN HELL,
AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED.
CHRIS IS SUSPENDED,
PENDING REVIEW BY A G.H. ETHICS
COMMITTEE.
 JOE: SO, THAT'S IT.
 FRANK: I HOPE SO.
AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED,
THE SOONER EVERYONE FORGETS
ABOUT DL-56, THE BETTER.
 DARREN: WHEN I'M DONE
WITH FRANK SCANLON, PEOPLE ARE
GOING TO THINK OF HIM LIKE
THEY THOUGHT OF TYPHOID MARY.
 CHRIS: DL-56 FRANK, HUH?
 DARREN: SOMETHING LIKE THAT,
YEAH.
 CHRIS: DOESN'T HE ALSO HAVE
A CONTRACT WITH LANCE
PHARMACEUTICALS?
 DARREN: WE CAN HANDLE THAT.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
 CHRIS: I BET YOU CAN.
YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ARE STILL GOING
TO ASSOCIATE DL-56 WITH
THE SUPERFLU OUTBREAK.
 DARREN: MM-HMM, WHICH IS WHY,
AFTER THIS WHOLE THING BLOWS
OVER, THE TERM DL-56 WILL NEVER
BE MENTIONED AGAIN.
 CHRIS: WHAT DO YOU PLAN
ON TELLING THE G.H. BOARD ABOUT
ME?
 DARREN: THE TRUTH.
YOU WERE RUNNING A LEGITIMATE
EXPERIMENT, TESTING THE CURATIVE
POWERS OF DL-56 ON A VIRUS WHEN
THIS DRUG-CRAZED LUNATIC BROKE
INTO YOUR LABORATORY AND STOLE
ONE OF YOUR SAMPLES.
 CHRIS: IT WASN'T EXACTLY
A BREAK-IN.
 DARREN: WELL, THE MAN WENT
INTO YOUR STORAGE UNIT
WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION
AND STOLE YOUR PROPERTY.
IS THAT CORRECT?
 CHRIS: YEAH.
 DARREN: YOU DO THE DOCTORING.
I'LL DO THE LAWYERING,
ALL RIGHT?
 CHRIS: FAIR ENOUGH.
 DARREN: MEANWHILE,
YOU REALIZE THE EXPERIMENT
WASN'T WORKING.
IT HAD THE POTENTIAL OF BECOMING
EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, SO WHAT DID
YOU DO?
YOU TOOK THE NECESSARY STEPS
TO DESTROY THE SAMPLES.
WELL, OF COURSE.
IF FRANK SCANLON HADN'T BEEN
SUCH A JUNKIE THIEF, THIS WHOLE
FLU OUTBREAK NEVER WOULD HAVE
HAPPENED.
 CHRIS: YEAH, BUT THEY'RE
GOING TO SAY THAT I'M THE ONE
RESPONSIBLE FOR HIM BEING
A JUNKIE THIEF.
 DARREN: BENNETT DEVLIN
CREATED SCANLON'S DEPENDENCY
BY PERFORMING AN UNAUTHORIZED
EXPERIMENT ON HIM, AN EXPERIMENT
THAT YOU WERE COMPLETELY UNAWARE
OF WHEN YOU WORKED WITH DEVLIN.
NOW, ONCE, OF COURSE,
YOU DISCOVER FRANK SCANLON'S
CONDITION, YOU FELT A MORAL
RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP THE MAN
ALIVE.
 CHRIS: AND WHY EXACTLY DID
I CONTINUE WORKING WITH
DL-56 AFTER DEVLIN'S DEATH
AND AFTER KAREN WEXLER HAD
PRONOUNCED THE PROBLEMS
WITH THE DRUG INSURMOUNTABLE?
 DARREN: WELL, FIRST OFF,
YOU'RE NOT A QUITTER LIKE
DR. WEXLER.
AND, SECOND, YOU REALIZED
THE POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF THIS
DRUG WERE SO GREAT THAT
YOU HAD TO CONTINUE
THE RESEARCH.
 CHRIS: WELL, GEE,
DARREN, DON'T FORGET TO TELL
THEM WHAT A GREAT DANCER I AM,
TOO.
 DARREN: CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT
IT WOULD MEAN IF DL-56 HAD
PROVIDED THE CURE TO THE FLU?
LIVES SAVED, SUFFERING RELIEVED.
NOT TO SPEAK OF MILLIONS UPON
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS GENERATED
BY WORKERS WHO WOULD NO LONGER
MISS THAT WEEK OR MORE OF WORK
EVERY SINGLE YEAR.
 CHRIS: SO BASICALLY I WAS
HOPING TO CURE THE SICK
AND STIMULATE THE GROSS NATIONAL
PRODUCT ALL AT ONCE?
 DARREN: THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE
GOING TO THINK WHEN I'M FINISHED
WITH THEM.
PROVIDED THIS STRATEGY MEETS
WITH YOUR APPROVAL, DR. RAMSEY.
 CHRIS: DARREN, PLEASE,
CALL ME CHRIS.
 KAREN: YOUR FOOT LOOKS GOOD.
NO LOCAL INFECTION.
 COURTNEY: OH, GOOD.
 KAREN: IS IT TENDER?
 COURTNEY: YEAH, A LITTLE.
 KAREN: WELL, THAT SHOULD GO
AWAY.
AND LET ANYBODY KNOW IF IT
DOESN'T.
 COURTNEY: OK.
 KAREN: WHAT WERE YOU DOING
WHEN YOU GOT STUNG?
 COURTNEY: I WAS WALKING ALONG
THE SHORE.
WE HAD JUST FINISHED BUILDING
A RAFT, AND WE WERE READY TO SET
SAIL.
AND THEN, AT THE LAST MINUTE,
I REMEMBERED THE CHRISTMAS TREE
JOE MADE, AND I WANTED TO BRING
IT ALONG.
 KAREN: JOE MADE A
CHRISTMAS TREE?
 COURTNEY: TO KEEP MY SPIRITS
UP.
BEING SHIPWRECKED ON A DESERTED
ISLAND'S NOT REALLY THE IDEAL
WAY TO SPEND THE HOLIDAYS.
 KAREN: I WOULDN'T THINK
THERE'D BE ENOUGH ROOM IN A RAFT
FOR A CHRISTMAS TREE.
 COURTNEY: WELL, IT WAS SILLY
OF ME TO WANT TO BRING IT ALONG.
I KNOW THAT.
IT HAD NO PRACTICAL VALUE,
BUT IT MEANT A LOT TO ME.
 KAREN: SENTIMENTAL VALUE.
 COURTNEY: YEAH. EXACTLY.
 KAREN: WELL, YOU WERE ALMOST
DROWNED GETTING THERE,
AND YOU WERE HUNGRY,
TIRED, COLD, BUT YOU STILL
WANTED A SOUVENIR OF THE PLACE?
 COURTNEY: WELL, WHAT CAN
I SAY?
IT WASN'T ALL BAD.
&,
LOOK AT YOU.
WHAT A COLD.
EVEN YOUR SINUSES HURT.
YOU KNOW HOW ADVIL
GETS RID OF TOUGH PAIN FAST.
WELL, ADVIL COLD & SINUS GETS
RID OF TOUGH SINUS PAIN FAST.
THIS IS IN THIS,
PLUS A DECONGESTANT.
THAT'S WHY THEY CALL IT...
ADVIL COLD & SINUS.
WHICH AFTER-SHOWER SPRAY CLEANER
LEAVES NO DULL RESIDUE ?
THE ANSWER IS AS CLEAR
AS THE LABEL ON THE BOTTLE.
NEW SHOWER SHINE.
FROM THE SCRUBBING BUBBLES.
THEY WORK HARD
AFTER EVERY SHOWER
SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO.
IF YOU'RE NOT USING
NEW SHOWER SHINE
AFTER-SHOWER SPRAY CLEANER,
THE FORECAST FOR YOUR SHOWER
IS MOSTLY CLOUDY.
NEW SHOWER SHINE.
FROM THE SCRUBBING BUBBLES.
THEY WORK HARD
AFTER EVERY SHOWER
SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO.
 
 JOE: SO IT WAS THE OUTBREAK
AND THE DEATHS THAT FINALLY MADE
YOU QUIT?
YOU QUIT?
 FRANK: NO, NOT EXACTLY.
 JOE: SO WHAT DID?
 FRANK: I DIDN'T REALLY MAKE
THE DECISION TO GO OFF OF IT.
I WISH I COULD SAY I DID.
I WISH I COULD TELL YOU THAT
I HAD A LONG TALK WITH MYSELF,
AND I SAID, "FRANK, IT'S TIME
TO STAND UP AND BE A MAN."
BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENED.
THE TRUTH IS, I WOULDN'T BE
CLEAN TODAY IF IT WASN'T
FOR KAREN.
 JOE: WELL, WHAT DID SHE DO?
 FRANK: WELL, FOR STARTERS,
SHE TOLD ME WHAT SHE WOULDN'T
DO, WHICH WAS SUPPLY ME
WITH DL-56.
 JOE: AND YOU COULDN'T GET IT
FROM RAMSEY ANYMORE
BECAUSE THE G.H. BRASS WAS
BREATHING DOWN HIS NECK.
 FRANK: YEAH.
SO I DIDN'T HAVE A CHOICE.
I HAD TO GET CLEAN.
AND KAREN HELPED ME THROUGH
THE ROUGHEST PART.
SHE WEANED ME OFF GRADUALLY
SO I WOULDN'T HAVE TO GO COLD
TURKEY.
 JOE: AND I ASSUME SHE MADE
SURE YOUR HEALTH WAS OK.
 FRANK: YEAH. YEAH.
SHE MONITORED MY VITALS,
BUT SHE DID MORE THAN THAT, JOE.
SHE -- SHE STUCK BY ME THROUGH
WITHDRAWAL.
SHE GAVE ME BACK MY LIFE.
SHE'S A TERRIFIC WOMAN.
YOU'RE A LUCKY GUY.
 JOE: I KNOW.
SO YOU'RE OK NOW?
 FRANK: PHYSICALLY,
YEAH, I'M OK.
 JOE: BUT?
 FRANK: SOMETHING HAS CHANGED.
 JOE: FRANK, LISTEN TO ME.
THAT'S ONLY NATURAL CONSIDERING
EVERYTHING TT YOU'VE BEEN
THROUGH.
 FRANK: NO, NO, NO, NO.
THIS IS DIFFERENT.
I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT
A PSYCHOLOGICAL CHANGE,
ALTHOUGH THAT'S PART OF IT.
TAKING THIS DRUG HAS MADE ME
DIFFERENT.
I AM NOT THE SAME GUY THAT I WAS
NINE MONTHS AGO WHEN I TOOK
THE HEADER OFF THE ROOF.
 JOE: FRANK, THE MOST
IMPORTANT THING IS THAT YOU'RE
OFF DL-56, AND YOU ARE GETTING
YOUR LIFE BACK TOGETHER.
 KAREN: YOU'RE STILL HERE?
 COURTNEY: YEAH.
I GOT SOMETHING TO EAT
IN THE CAFETERIA, AND THEN
I REALIZED I LEFT MY GLOVES
SOMEWHERE.
 KAREN: OH, YOU DID.
I PUT THEM FOR YOU AT THE FRONT
DESK.
 COURTNEY: THANK YOU.
 KAREN: AND I GOT YOUR TEST
RESULTS BACK.
 COURTNEY: OH.
HOW'D I DO?
 KAREN: WELL, YOUR C.B.C. AND
SED RATES ARE ALL NORMAL.
EVERYTHING'S OK.
 COURTNEY: OH.
THAT'S A RELIEF.
 KAREN: YOU WERE VERY
FORTUNATE.
 COURTNEY: THAT'S WHAT
THE DOCTOR IN GREECE SAID.
A REACTION AS SEVERE AS MINE IS
USUALLY FATAL.
IT'S LUCKY FOR ME JOE WAS THERE.
 KAREN: IT W LUCKY FOR YOU.
 COURTNEY: I KNOW I COULDN'T
HAVE SURVIVED WITHOUT HIM.
HE GOT ME TO THE SHORE.
HE BUILT A SHELTER.
HE STARTED A FIRE.
HE FOUND FOOD.
HE SAVED MY LIFE.
HE'S AN EXTRAORDINARY MAN.
 KAREN: YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL
ME THAT.
 COURTNEY: YOU KNOW, IT'S KIND
OF FUNNY HOW EVERYTHING TURNED
OUT FOR THE BEST.
 KAREN: HOW SO?
 COURTNEY: WELL, NEIL'S BACK
HOME.
HE KNO JOE'S HIS FATHENOW,
AND HE'S STARTING TO ACCEPT IT.
 KAREN: BETTER LATE THAN
NEVER.
 COURTNEY: AND WHAT'S THAT
SUPPOSED TO MEAN?
 KAREN: YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD
JOE ABOUT NEIL A LONG TIME AGO.
 COURTNEY: OK, HERE WE GO
AGAIN.
YOU KNOW, I AM GETTING REALLY
SICK OF YOUR ATTITUDE.
YOU SHOULD BE THANKING ME
FOR KEEPING THAT SECRET.
 KAREN: I SHOULD THANK YOU?
 COURTNEY: DID YOU EVER,
EVER STOP TO THINK WHAT WOULD'VE
HAPPENED IF I HAD TOLD JOE I WAS
PREGNANT EIGHT YEARS AGO?
HE LEFT SCHOOL AND CAME
TO EUROPE LOOKING FOR ME.
HE WAS HEAD OVER HEELS IN LOVE.
I GUARANTEE YOU, IF I WOULD'VE
TOLD HIM THE TRUTH THEN, I'D BE
MRS. JOE SCANLON TODAY.
 COURTNEY: YOU'RE WELCOME.
 DARREN: HAVE THEY GIVEN
YOU A DATE ON YOUR REVIEW?
 CHRIS: YEAH.
EARLY FEBRUARY.
 DARREN: WE'LL BE READY.
 CHRIS: LISTEN --
ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE GOING TO BE
ABLE TO NAIL FRANK SCANLON?
I MEAN, HE'S KIND OF KNOWN
FOR A STRAIGHT-ARROW REPUTATION.
 DARREN: WELL, HE WON'T WHEN
I'M FINISHED WITH HIM.
 CHRIS: YEAH, BUT WOULDN'T IT
BE BETTER, YOU KNOW, IF IT JUST
TURNED OUT THAT HE'D BEEN USING
OTHER DRUGS AS WELL AS DL-56?
 DARREN: THAT'S FUNNY.
I'VE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH
ON THE MAN, AND NOTHING LIKE
THAT HAS EVER TURNED UP.
 CHRIS: YEAH, BUT SUPPOSE IT
DID.
YOU KNOW, HYPOTHETICALLY.
 DARREN: WELL, THEN,
HYPOTHETICALLY, THAT'D BE A HELL
OF A GOOD THING FOR OUR CASE,
WOULDN'T IT?
 CHRIS: YEAH.
WELL, WHO KNOWS?
A CARELESS GUY LIKE FRANK
SCANLON COULD WIND UP GETTING
CAUGHT WITH SOMETHING.
 DARREN: WELL, IF HE'S GOING
TO GET CARELESS, I SURE HOPE
IT'S IN TIME FOR THE BOARD
MEETING.
LET ME KNOW IF YOU HEAR
OF ANYTHING, OK, CHRIS?
 CHRIS: DARREN, YOU'LL BE
THE FIRST TO KNOW.
