- [Madeline] Eric. Eric. I don't wanna do this. I can't. - [Eric] Look around, Madeline. You see where you're at? The decision's been made, okay. You're doin' it. - It's not too late to back out. I just don't... I won't feel right about doing this. Can you honestly say that you feel okay? - It doesn't matter how it feels. It's feelings what's got us here. This is what has to be done. Look, I get it. But sometimes we have to do things that don't feel right, things that may not feel good. It's called life. I mean, would you rather
walk up to your parents and tell 'em I knocked you up? We can hold hands while we do it. Would that feel good to you? - Don't. Eric. Can you just look at me? Eric. - We don't have a choice. - I'm, I'm scared to do this. - It was a mistake, okay? We both got stupid one time. I'm not gonna let one mistake
cost me my whole life. - Eric, if we had a boy, we could name him Zachery. - We can't raise a child, Madeline. I'm going off to grad school, which means you're gonna
be here by yourself raising a child. Having a baby changes
everything, Madeline. It changes everything.
- I know! - It's already paid for. It'll be quick and simple, and nobody's gonna know the difference. - We'll know. - What? - I'll know. - [Man] Are you ready, Madeline? (heart beating) - [Zac] My name is Zac Ryan, and I've discovered that life is made up of a series of choices. - You come highly recommended
from Dr. Shepherd. What were his thoughts on this incident? - Me and Todd worked with
each other for some time, and he knew I didn't,
he respected what I did. - And when you say ethics violations, could you give a more
in depth explanation? - Well, my previous
employer thought it was a good idea to market a drug
that was clearly not ready, and rather than wait for FDA approval, I disagreed with the whole thing. - So you blew the whistle? - Yeah. Yes, I did, if you'd like to call it that. - Well, Dr. Ryan, one might argue that these patients had no other options, and they were facing death. Why not at least give
them a fighting chance? - Well, it had nothing
to do with the patients. The doctors were the ones
who made the selfish choice, and if the drug was given a
little more time and research, then it may have worked, but I guess we'll never know now. - In your estimation what
was the foremost problem with the decision made by
your previous employers? - I didn't follow process. Yeah. Not following a process is irresponsible, and all medical professionals,
if we should be anything, we should be responsible. - Well, the position is
staff research on colleges. We can offer you a lab space. If you're okay with splitting your time between research and your patient care. - Can you assure me that
I will have full support to continue my current research? - I can offer you anything within reason. Do you accept the position? - Yes, ma'am. Yes, I do. Thank you. - Okay. You'll be spending the
majority of your clinical hours on this hallway. We won't be assigning many
patients to your watch, but the ones that you do have will be time intensive. Actually, let me
introduce you to somebody. Clayton. - Patterson, how's the cancer business? - Well, I don't know, Clayton. Why don't you tell me? How you feelin'? - I'm alive. - I want you to meet Dr. Zac Ryan. He'll be your new doctor. - Nice to meet you, Clayton. - Star Wars, or Star Trek? - Star Wars, obviously. - He'll do. - Nice job. - Sharp kid. - Oh yeah. He's actually an incredibly
intelligent young man. He'll keep you on your toes. - What's his story? - Stage three stomach cancer. He's been with us for
almost two years now. - Oh, so he lives here? - Yeah, he's one of a small
handful of live-ins we have. He as a word of the state, Lost his whole family in a house fire before he was even three. - And no other family? - None worth speaking of. You need to get some thicker skin, kid. This place will not be kind to you. - You have to be careful not
to get this thing clogged up. Here. How are you, sir? - [Zac] Good, how you don', sir? - [McKenna] How can I help you? - Tall red eye, please. - Alrighty. (register beeping) Red... Eye. That'll be 2.95. (beeping) Okay. Alright. It'll be ready in no time. Ready before any minute. Ready in a jiffy. Any of those, I guess. I'm still getting used
to the coffee lingo. - Well, I thank you. McKenna? - Welcome. (somber music) (gentle music) ♫ Silent night ♫ Holy night ♫ All is calm ♫ All is bright - [Zac] dMy mother was
a hardworking woman. Most nights I was in bed
before she came home. You know, we didn't have much, but we had each other. ♫ Holy infant so tender and mild ♫ Sleep in heavenly peace - [Madeline] Hey,
sweetie, I'm kinda running a little bit late tonight, so there's some soup
salad in fridge, okay? - Wait, I need some more glue. - Hey, is it okay if we just
go by the store tomorrow? - I won't be able to finish
my project if I don't have it. Please. - Okay. That's okay, I'll go get your glue, okay? Just calm down. - Thank you, I love you. - Love you too. - I watch you take call after call. - Hey Shelly. - I can always tell even from a mile away when you're on the phone with your son. Zachery, right? - Right. - There's no greater joy
than what a mother gets from the love of a child. - Yes, I would agree with that. He is my joy. - Don't you ever take that for granted. - I won't. (laughs) ♫ I'll be home ♫ For Christmas Excuse me. Excuse me. - [Clerk] Can I help you, dear? - I'm looking for a journal for my son, but I can't seem to find them. - I think I can help you. Come this way. Here we are, you're in luck. - Thank you. Thanks. - Merry Christmas, and be careful. - Thanks, and is it too
late to get this wrapped? - No, pick out some paper
and bring it up front. - Okay, thank you. Merry Christmas. ♫ Christmas Eve will find me ♫ Where the lovelight gleams ♫ I'll be home for Christmas (horn blaring)
(knocking) ♫ If only in my dreams (knocking) - [Zac] It's interesting. The things we remember about our past. - [Young Zac] Who is it? - [Meeker] Officer Meeker. - [Zac] Some things we can never forget. - [Man On TV] Sure, Sure. I mean, you figure... - [Man On TV] Cut that rocket for an arm. - [Man On TV] That's right. You know, the... (background noise drowns out dialogue) Is still with him. - [Man On TV] Sure. - [Man On TV] To a certain extent. - [Man On TV] You know,
when you watch him, he's like a college prof. - [Man On TV] Yeah. - [Zac] I asked my
mother who my father was, and her only response was
a man who chose to leave. (somber music) (grunting) (groaning) (machine buzzing) (somber music) - Good morning, Mr. Brady. Have a seat. Your CT scan shows a tumor
growing in your abdomen area. - Is it cancer? - We don't know yet. I've scheduled a biopsy to
determine if it's cancerous, but we'll just have to wait for now. - No! - It's just a little pinch, I promise. - Why don't you stick it in your arm then? - Hey, what's the problem? - She's trying to stab me with that thing. - [Zac] Remember when I
talked about how to be brave? - I'm not scared of it, it just hurts. - All right. Put your arm right
here, focus on me, okay. Just focus on me. That wasn't so bad, was it? - I guess not. - [Zac] All right, bud, I'll
check up on you in a bit. - [Nurse] Thank you doctor. - Dr. Ryan. - Yeah? - I know it's kind of weird for me to ask, and I don't even know if
it's your type of thing, but a few of us are grabbing
some drinks after work. I thought I'd invite you, in case maybe you wanted
to come or something. - I'm sorry, I have plans. - Well, maybe another time then. - How can you read through this crap? This is opinionated gibberish
that happens to get printed. - Just looking for the one percent truth and all of it. - Yeah. You need to have a better filter system for those articles. There's too unsubstantiated reports with limited research times or worse. It's too small a field. - Needles, my friend. Needles. - The haystacks, my friend. (chuckling) You need to get a life, Zac. Something beyond all this hobby. A girlfriend. Something. - I don't know, I feel like
this is the year, you know, and we're so close to
synthesizing the antibody. - Let's hit something outside of this. - We're close. - I know, Zac. I have all the faith in the
world that close is the case. But I also know that we need funding. - It's all catch 22. Funding needs a breakthrough, breakthrough needs funding. - Oh, God, that'll be on my tombstone. - Well, don't die on me yet. - What's in it for me? - I think I have it. - [Man] The box? - Tested the results
this morning, very good. They were real good. - Good, good job. - Where are you goin'? - It's almost nine o'clock, Zac. Where do think? I'm goin' home. - [Zac] Did you not hear what I just said? - I did. And it's great news. But I still have to go home. Meg wants me to extend
an invite for dinner. - I'm sorry, I can't. I got too much work. - Please. Please don't let that be
what's on your tombstone. (gentle music) (birds chirping) - [Man] Come on, boy. - [Zac] I had no idea
he was my grandfather. He took the news of her death pretty hard. Strange to live with
someone you never met. - This is your room. This is, was, your mother's room. Supper will be ready at six on the dot. Don't be late. We can talk over your chores
and such in the morning. (somber music) Why don't you say the blessing, boy? Okay then. Dear God, please bless the food
that we are about to eat to our nourishment, the nourishment of our body, bodies, and help us find a silver lining in this circumstance we've been given. Amen. First impressions go a long way, you know. Look, you think this is ideal for me? It's not. Good to meet ya, kid. (gentle music) How could you do this to me? I'm a deacon. If anyone finds out you're pregnant, they will run me out of the church. (sobbing) You will get an abortion. (sobbing) On your own then. Walk out that door and keep on walkin'. Madeline. (glass shattering) (somber music) What? C'mere, boy. Are you stupid or somethin'? I asked you a question. Are you stupid or somethin'? - No. - Stop acting like it then. What now? - Why do you hate me? - It's getting late. Go to bed. A lot of work to do tomorrow morning. - Mr. Brady, you have a rare
form of abdominal cancer. It's called gastrointestinal
stromal tumor, and unfortunately this
has spread to your liver, making it inoperable. You know, without treatment, we're lookin' at six to 12 months tops. - Chemotherapy? - No. This type of cancer does not respond well
to chemo or radiation. Now, I'm not saying this is the end, I'm not saying there's no hope, but I have a drug that I think
could work in this situation, and statistics show it's effective around 87 percent of the time. But I'll be seeing you frequently
over the next few weeks, and I promise you, we'll keep an eye on this cancer and how it responds to this treatment. - How soon can we get started? - Today. Immediately. - Eric Brady for Don McGrant. I've had a change of heart. I wanna sell. 500 flat. My reason's no concern to you. It's a matter of business. Either you want my company or you don't. Everything's subject to change. This is no different. You have 24 hours to
make a decision for it, the deal's off the table. - Hi. - Hey, pal. You ready for your treatment? - Sure. I'm always ready to get sick. - I know, I know it's not the best thing, but sometimes you gotta get sick before you can get better, you know? - Pet talks are not one of your strengths. - No, they're not. (laughs) I'll tell you what. Let's go through this treatment together, and then we'll do something super special at the end of the week. How's that? - What kind of special? - I don't know, you tell me. What do we have here? - I wanna see butterflies. - Butterflies, okay. I think I can make that happen. Do we have a deal? - Deal. - All right. Now go draw me another
really good picture, and the nurse will come get you soon. I'll see you later, bud. - Okay. - Hey McKenna. - Now that, that looks serious. - I'm sorry. - Don't be. I was just noticing your
book on chemotherapy, and peaked my curiosity. - Yeah, it's quite interesting. - I would also be interested
to hear your take on it. - My take? - Yes. On the process. I'm sorry, I don't mean to bother. See, it's just recently I've been trying to expand my horizons, including my reading list, and always willing to add. But, I didn't mean to bother you. I'm sorry. - Don't be sorry. This... This particular piece, specifically, talks about a drug called Receptin which is used for chemotherapy, and in my opinion it's the
best drug for breast cancer. - So, what's the success rate of this... - Receptin. - Receptin. - It works about 50 percent
of the time with women. - What about side effects? - Ah, you know, side effects
normally include nausea, general weakness, lack of appetite. You know, hair loss. - So, 50 50. That's a coin flip. I mean, no more side effects, and it could be better, right? - It could be, but it could be a lot worse too. - Glass half full type fellow. I dig that. - Positive outlook's big, it goes a long way, especially in my line of work. - And what exactly is your
line of work, red eye? - I'm a doctor. Research oncologist, to be exact. - Interesting. - [Zac] Yeah. - Figures. I guess I should just say I'm
not surprised, that's all. - Wait, what do you mean not surprised? - Well, you are a big shot doctor, probably working at the big
shot hospital down the road, so it makes sense that you'd only support a big shot, mainstream
safe way of thinking. I mean, you said 50 50. Well, how conclusive is chemo then? I don't know. I guess I just always wondered
about more alternative ways. You know, ways that
actually help the patient, but maybe hurt the
doctors' wallets a little. I don't mean to offend. I wonder about a lot of things. - Yeah, I see that. - Can I get you a refill on
your tall red eye, red eye? - Yes, please. Thank you. And my name's Zac, by the way. Zac Ryan. - Zac Ryan. Dr. Zac Ryan. It has a nice ring to it. I'll be back. - [Zac] How you feelin'? - More of the same. Just abdominal pain. It's not unbearable, just
a little uncomfortable. I think probably what's most unbearable is the thinking about time. You ever think about what if you made different choices in life? - No. - You know, you go through life doing what you're supposed to do, or you're told to do. Go to college, get a degree, go to work, get the job, and just climb and claw
your way to the top. Just climbing over anybody
that gets in your way. But you know what they don't tell you? They don't tell you to be prepared for the time when there is no more time for the good things in life. You know, things like friends. Your family and your wife, your children. You know, what I've realized, the facts are that those are
the most important things that you should focus on. Do you have a family? - [Zac] Mmm. - [Brady] What not? - I'm busy I guess. - If you don't mind me being blunt, you of all people should know that we run out of time. You know, if I was to think about the choices I've made in life, I've found out that the choices I had made have brought me to this point where I'm at right now, and that's what's sobering. Facing the truth of your choices. And I'm broken. Word of advice. Get out of this place. Get some time away from it. Learn to live. Sorry, I'm just rambling. I need to go. - It's okay. Hang in there, Eric. I'll see you next week. - Don't forget to live life, Zac. And if you can find
someone to share it with, don't miss out on that chance. (crickets chirping) - [Hanna] Hello. - Who's there? - I'm here. Who are you? - My name is Zac. Zac Ryan. - I'm Hanna. So, what are you doing in here, Zac Ryan? - I just moved in. - What happened to Mr. Ryan? - Nothing, he's inside. I'm his grandson. - Well, could you stop being so noisy. You're scaring my horse. - Sorry. I'll leave. - No, wait. Do you wanna help? Mr. Ryan usually leaves a
bucket of water in the barn. Seems like someone poured it out. - Sure, I'll help. Do you live near by? - Across the lake. - What's your horse's name? - You sure do ask a lot of questions. - Sorry. - Really. - What? - My horse's name. It's Really. - That's a good name. - [Hanna] Thanks. - [Zac] I met Hanna that Spring. You ever met someone who
shined a light in your life? Hanna was that light to me. (gentle uplifting music) We became fast friends. We were so close. (machine beeping) She died of cancer when she was 17. You know, sometimes life
makes choices for us. I wasn't ready to let her go. After Hanna died, I
buried myself in school to help ease the pain. (gentle music) - How's it comin'? - It's comin'. Slowly but surely. - Not that you need to be told this, but the funding system at this hospital doesn't really fit a
slowly but surely process. Oh, pardon my mistake. By that look in your eyes, maybe you do need to be told this. - [Zac] I know how the
process works, Patterson. - Good. I'll let you get back to work. - Director. - Doctor. - I see your relationship
with her is growin'. - Relax, we're fine. - Please. I could feel the tension from the door. - I'm not concerned with Patterson. - Cut the lady a little slack. I mean, two divorces and a million dollars in budget overages will have anybody a little
high strung, you know. The marriages are not your fault, but the budgets, the budgets are. Budgets probably have something
to do with the marriages. - So, her failed marriages are my fault. - I didn't say that. - [Zac] Well, she knew what
I was when she hired me. - You know what? I think you might be right. (laughing) (horses galloping) - [Man] I am starting to regret, Eric, not bringing with me an army of attorneys. - Do you have trust issues, Donnie boy? Because I don't have time
to work through them. - Well, yes, I do, but that's because your
reputation precedes you. Shall we start? - 500 million plus stock. - Whoa, whoa whoa whoa. Nobody said anything
about stocks on the phone. - I'm not in the mood for negotiations. - I don't know. - Look, if you want my company, take it, but if you wanna play around, the last thing I need is
for you to waste my time. - Don't rush me. - Do we have a deal or not? - All right, we have a deal. You're not an easy man to get along with. You know that? - Yeah, well, that's
just the part of the job. - Well, you, my friend,
no longer have a job. - Ryan, who do you think you are? Answer me, doctor, where
do you think you are? - What do you wanna hear? - I would love to hear who
approved this purchase order, because it certainly wasn't me. - Everything on that purchase order I needed for my job, okay. - Don't give me that. Most of this stuff on here are wants. Very few needs on here. - You know what? Fire me or get off my back. All I'm trying to do is my job. - You listen to me. If I ever see another one of these, I will shut this whole thing down. This is not a threat. Believe every word that comes
out of my mouth as gospel. - We done here? - Yeah, we're done. (gentle music) (grunting) - Do you think we'll see any butterflies? - I don't know, it just depends if they wanna come out and play with you. Why don't you go look, son? - Okay. - Yeah. (gentle music) - I love it. - [Zac] Oh yeah? What do you love? - Life. My door is always open. - Okay. For what? - For advice. - Oh yeah? - I'll say for people like you having the right advice
isn't usually the problem, it's having the ears to hear that advice that holds you back. Or having the sense to actually listen when you already know the right answer. - You're unbelievable. How'd you get so smart? - My mom told me I was born this way. (birds chirping) (knocking) - Is it dinner time? - It's like seein' a ghost at my door. Come in. - I couldn't resist Meg's cooking. - You've been doing it
for three months now. Meg, look who's here. - Good to see you. - Is there somethin' I should know about? - If you don't start
cleaning up after yourself there might be something to say. - Well, with this guy, you
would never have to worry. - That's 'cause he'd never be home. - Let's talk about me at home. That's very sweet of you guys. - No, please don't flatter yourself. You're just in time. Come sit down. - [Meg] Right there. - [Zac] That was amazing. - Thank you. - What do you expect? He's a bachelor. You'd think mac and cheese was amazing. - My mac and cheese is amazing. - You heard from Patterson yet? - Oh, we don't need to talk about that. - What'd she say? - She said we have to look
elsewhere for funding. - Girls, get ready for bed. - Say goodnight to your uncle Zac. - [Girls] Goodnight, uncle Zac. - Goodnight girls. They're growing up so fast, my friend. - [Man] Yeah, they are. - Well, I think I gotta get goin'. - Said goodnight to the kid. He has to go home and not sleep. - It's great seeing you, Zachery. - Thank you, guys. I really appreciate this. You really make me feel at home. We should do this more often. - That sounds like a promise to me. - Hey Zac. - Yeah? - You all right? - Yeah, I'm good. I don't know. I'm just... It just got me thinkin' in there. You know, you have Meg and the kids, and you guys are great and everything. In a weird way I feel like
I'm married to this project, and now the funding's gone, it's all going down into the drain on me. That's weird, but it's nothin'. It's nothing big. I'm good, don't worry about me. - [Dr. Phil] All of that. What I wanna talk about is a return to health for you. I wanna talk about what I've
talked about with you... - Here you go. - [Customer] Thank you.
- You're welcome. - I said no whip. You see this white stuff right there? It's whip. Just gimme what I paid for? - [McKenna] You got it. It's hot, be careful. - The storm is over. - Yeah. Tall red eye, comin' up. - [Zac] Thank you. You have your lunch break yet? - I was wondering when
you'd finally ask me out. - I don't know. It felt like the wrong time. It's like you needed a break
from your day job for a bit. How you holdin' up? - Fine. Can't let the man beat me down. - I notice you leavin'
work sometimes at night. Do you have a long walk home? - It's not too bad. I live a couple blocks from here. It's nice to know that you're actually watching me sometimes. Stalker. (laughs) - Would you care for some more water, sir? - Yes, please. Thank you. - Are you okay, ma'am? - Yes, I'm good. Thank you. - Not a problem. - So, how about you? How are you holdin' up? - Can I be like you and say fine? - Sure, you can. But really, you need to share
your feelings with someone. Someone like me. I'm a really great listener. - I'll bet. - I am. Of course, I do ramble sometimes. - It's okay, I like it sometimes. (uplifting music) It's beautiful, it really is. - Yeah. - How often do you come up here? - As much as I can. A few times a week at least. - I must say, it's a beautiful place to gather your thoughts. (laughing) - So the high altitude turns the doctor into a comedian. - Everyone needs a plan B. - Nonsense. Plan Bs are for people not
committed enough to life. You should never live life with a plan B. - You're very cute when you're
passionate, you know that? - You're pretty cute yourself. I love you, Zac Ryan. - I love you too. (dramatic music) Eric, unfortunately
the drug's not working. Now, I have a project. It's risky, but if I can somehow get a human trial, I think they might be able to
give me the green light on it. - Tell me about it. - Basically, it's a radio wave machine, and when it comes in
contact with certain metals, it heats the metals up, so, ideally it works with nano particles and moving these metals
such as gold and platinum to your cancer cells. So, theoretically, it would
be cooking your cancer cells, if that makes any sense to you at all. - Okay. Why haven't you mentioned this before? - They haven't given me funding for it. And, you know, human trials
are extremely costly, and they don't have my back
over there anyway, so... - I'll pay for it. - Are you sure? - I mean, why not, I don't
have anything to lose. - All right. I'll have it ready in a few weeks. - So, what is this exciting
news you two have for me? - That patient I was telling you about has decided to fund my project, and he'll be the first
human trial we have. - That's amazing, Zac. - If it works, Zac says he could treat me. - [Man] Here's your pizza. - [All] Thank you. - Here you go. - Dear Jesus, thank you
pizza and Dr. Zac Ryan. Please let the treatment be successful, and please let it heal me. If it's not too much to
ask for, find me a family. Amen. - Amen. - Let's eat. (somber music) (knocking) We're going in front
of the board tomorrow, so that's good news. Is something wrong? What's wrong, Eric? - You know, I, I knew this guy. He was 22 years old. He was so full of himself, and he got a degree from
a reputable college, and while he was there he found this beautiful girl and made her his girlfriend. Then he found out his
girlfriend was pregnant. And he told her to do the unthinkable, and then he left her, as though she and this
child never existed. Can you believe it, Dr. Ryan? He just left her and his child. Now this kid is staring at his child, a grown man, and he still feels like a 22-year old scared college student. - What are you trying to tell me, Eric? Where'd you get this? - I'm your father, Zac. I've known about it for a while. I guess it took cancer for
me to finally get here. I wanted to tell you from the first day... - You need to leave, okay? You need to go. Get out of my office. This conversation never
happened, you got that? Leave! (knocking) Hey. Do you have time to talk, just for a bit? - Yeah, of course. Come in. - [Zac] Thanks. - Welcome. What's wrong? - That patient I was telling you about. You're not gonna believe this, but he's my father. - Um... I don't know what to say, Zac. How do you feel about that? - How do I feel? - [McKenna] Yeah. - I feel angry. I mean, I was treatin' him for weeks, and right before we
decide to move forward, he throws this on me. I mean, I really don't
know what he was thinkin'. I mean, I wish he just
didn't tell me anything. I wish he just didn't say anything at all, just kept his mouth shut. That's how I feel about this. - Well, maybe he was thinking that he might not have a chance. I mean, I know that you're
angry and you're upset, and more importantly you're hurt, but you can't blame him for a mistake he made 34 years ago. He may not be the same man he was then. - All right, well, what
do you think I should do? - I think that you should
give him a second chance. - A second chance. I don't know about that. I mean, he just left us. He left my mother and what does he expect? Does he expect me just to open my arms and let's be a happy family again? I mean just let it go? - No, I do not think that he expects that. I think that he would hope that you would give him a
chance to say he's sorry. The message of Christ is about forgiveness and the promise of redemption. It's not real love to
just love the lovable. Real charity means loving
those who hurt us the most. What always stands out to me is what Christ said on the cross. He said, "Father, forgive them, "for they know not what they do." He made the choice to
forgive his abusers, okay, and we're expected to do the same thing, but only God knows why people make the choices that they do. You know, but, you
can't be angry with him, we don't know what circumstances
he found himself in, but I can promise you
forgiveness will set him free, and more importantly, it'll set you free. Yeah. - Mm-hmm. - Accepting Christ into your life, it doesn't just mean saying a few words. It means actually applying His teaching. It means living His words. It's the only thing that
will change us in this world. Christ teaches real love. Yeah. - As you guys can see,
all the cancer cells are completely burned off while the surrounding
tissue remains unharmed. - But nothin' you have presented here guarantees that your machine
can distinguish the difference between cancer cells and healthy tissue. - Yes, I... Okay, no no. Technically, you're right. But... - Dr. Ryan, we applaud your efforts, you are doin' a commendable job. - I don't need an applause,
I need an approval. - But you need more data. - I have the data, look at the data. Look at it! It's right there in front of your faces! - We need a year and more data. - Okay, I have the cure
for cancer right here, right in front of ya'll faces, and you're just gonna sit there and not do anything about it. - We need a year, you know that. Are you done? - Yeah, yeah, I'm through. You care about nothing but
money, nothing but money. - [Patterson] I stuck my neck out for you. - [Man] Not right now. Can you give him a little time to regroup? - I've already given him enough time. Don't walk away from me
when I'm talking to you! - What, what do you
want, what do you want? - You talkin' about cookin'
cells in a patient's body with limited proof that
you can target cancer 100 percent of the time. What did you think was gonna happen? - My treatment's safe and it's
viable, and you know that. - Oh, no, not entirely, and you know it. - Do not give me that. You know it's safe, and you know... - Don't tell me what I know, kid. - I'm movin' forward with my project. - Oh, no you are not. - Yeah. - In fact, I'm gonna get
severance packages together for your fellas, and if you don't like
it, you can leave too. (knocking) (door creaking) - Hey Zac, come on in. Do you want something to drink? - I'm good. Eric, I'm sorry for the way I acted. Yeah. So, I'm here to apologize for that. - Apology accepted. - Okay. Now, I have some good news, and I have some bad news. - Well, give me the bad news. - The board's not lettin' us
go through with the project. But I wanna move forward anyway. - You can't do that, Zac. What's this gonna mean for you? - I may lose my license, but this is my choice, and that's irrelevant right now. I wanna do it. - Even if it was to
work, I mean, look at me. It's not worth the risk. - Eric, I've been thinkin' a lot about what we've been talkin' about
over the last couple weeks. Second chances, things like that. I wanna give you your second chance. And I really think I can. - For what it's worth,
you're a good man, Zac, and I'm proud of who you
are and what you've become. Your mom was a religious woman, a good person. I'm not. And what's interesting is when you're standing at death's door, faith is more appealing. Would you mind praying with me? - Yeah. - Jesus, I'm sorry for
the life I've lived. I'm sorry for the self-centered
choices I've made. I ask for your forgiveness, and I ask that you please
help Zac forgive me. - I forgive you. I forgive you for everything. Let's beat this thing, Dad. I know we can. - Thank you. (dramatic music) - How you feeling, Eric? All right, hang in
there, we're almost done. (dramatic music) - [Woman] The internet above. Google reports cancer
cure is the top search for this week. We have breaking news tonight
out Charlotte, North Carolina. - [Man] It's a miracle. Cancer research doctor,
Zac Ryan, has found an alternative treatment
for a rare form of cancer. (dramatic music) - Will you marry me? - Yes. - So you're okay with this? Clayton, come over here for a little bit. We got somethin' we wanna ask you. - So, you know how we're
getting married, right? Well, we were wondering if you wanted to be part of our family. - If that's okay with you. - You made it. - Of course I made it. You look good. - Thanks to you. I don't know how to thank you. How's McKenna? - I popped the question. - That's great. She said yes? What am I saying? Of course she said yes. - She did. We're gettin' married next year. You gonna be there? - Why don't you get married here? - You serious about that? Okay. - Congratulations. (wind whistling) - What? Madeline, having a baby
changes everything. (heart beating) - Are you ready, Madeline? - Yes. - [Zac] My name would have been Zac Ryan. (somber music)
