601 Yes. Hello -- again. 602 Nurse Heisel became quite attached to your mother-in-law. 603 That's why I asked her to be here for this. 604 First of all, I want you to understand 605 that we consider our commitment to our patients a sacred trust. 606 OK. 607 Having said that, it appears there may -- and I stress may -- 608 have been a breakdown in our chain of care. 609 I can assure you 610 that we hold our staff to the highest standards in the industry. 611 But we are only human, after all. 612 Honey -- are you OK? 613 Nurse Heisel, why don't you step out? 614 I'm so sorry... - Uh-huh. 615 We all share in your grief. 616 Apparently. 617 And we're hoping to alleviate any further pain your family may suffer 618 by offering some 619 monetary compensation. 620 Provided you and your husband waive any future right to litigation, of course. 621 Monetary compensation. 622 Are you trying to buy us off? 623 Let's not get tangled up in legalese. 624 We like to think of it as an extension of our caring. 625 Well, in that case -- 626 Care away. 627 Mr Hartley, I have a hypothetical legal question for you. 628 I like to play the lottery, and I -- 629 Yes, I know what the odds are, but I just love those scratch-offs -- 630 Say I were to win -- I don't know, $1'600,000. 631 Would the government be able to take it? 632 Like they took everything else? 633 That's what I thought. The bastards. 634 So -- what if we won the lottery after Carlos went to jail? 635 Could the government touch the money then? 636 Hypothetically. 637 I see. 638 And we could keep the house. 639 Oh no, I'm just at the grocery store. 640 Wondering if I should buy a ticket. 641 Thanks a bunch, Mr Hartley. 642 So what time should I bring Carlos to the D.A.'s office tomorrow? 643 Great. 644 We all honor heroes for different reasons. 645 Sometimes for their daring. 646 Sometimes for their bravery. 647 Open! Sometimes for their goodness. 648 I love you. 649 But mostly we honor heroes 650 because at one point or another, 651 we all dream of being rescued. 652 Of course, 653 if the right hero doesn't come along, 654 sometimes 655 we just have to rescue ourselves.
