- [Jo] So, that's it.
Thank you.
- Are you kidding? You're the best roommate I've had yet.
- I'll text you when I've settled.
- Better.

- That car. What's up with that?
Social worker?
- No, teacher.
- No, guidance counselor.
- [Shop Owner] Good morning. I'm not quite open yet.
- Just a bottle of water, please.
- Hold on a sec. I'll get my till open.
- Plastic water bottles are bad for the environment.
- [Jo] Beg your pardon?
- You look like a vegan. Are you vegan?
- They make a great vegan wrap here.
A mushroom tofu wrap with barbecue sauce.
- I'm good.
- They're not bothering you, are they?
Girls, I'm not paying you to sit around.
- We still have two minutes.
- How about one of our cheeseburgers?
No better hamburger in the Kootenays.
- [Jo] I'm good.
- You should eat something. You're gonna starve to death.
- You should stop smoking. Your lips are gonna fall off.
- Bee...
- Yotch.

- And of course, you know what's handy about this is
you're really close to your office in the hospital.
I mean, it's great for walking.
And here's the bathroom, powder room.
I'm a little picky about bathroom design.
And this is the room I was telling you about
that has the access down to the pool.
Anyhow. [door slams]
You know, anyhow, as I was saying,
we built this place over the pool
'cause we weren't really using it much.
You know, sometimes in the springs, it floods,
but nothing too serious.
I guess just if you smell something kind of funky,
you might wanna call me and I'll come pump it out.
- Okay.
- [Mr. Leichenberg] I think you'll be
pretty comfortable here.
Oh, of course I haven't had a chance to paint it.
You can just hang a picture over those spots.
- [Jo] Yeah, that's all right.
- I mean, if you do decide to stay longer,
I mean, I can paint it for you.
Any color you like.
We need all the nice lady doctors we can get in town.
There's one more thing, by the way.
You have to excuse the gossip here.
I mean, small towns, that can get pretty bad.
Just don't believe everything you hear
about the people that lived here before.
Lucas, I guess he was kind of depressed.
It didn't, I mean, didn't turn out too well for him.
And afterwards she went back to Vancouver.
You kinda look like her. Got a sister?
- No. - Brother?
- I'm an only child. - Kind of spoiled then.
Okay, I'll get outta your hair.
I don't know why I feel like I've told you this before,
but rent is due on the last day of the month,
not the first day.
I don't know how many tenants get confused about that.
Have a good day.
[door slams]
[solemn music]
- [Speaker] You brought the wagon for the boat?
- [Speaker] No, no, that's next month.
Still way too cool for water skiing.
- [Speaker] Stop by [indistinct] on your way out.
- Yeah, for sure. Say hi to Dave for me.
Apologies. Someone else is using the office
and this is kind of our file closet, as it were.
So, Dr. Terringer, yes? You come to us from Calgary?
- Yes. And it's Joanne Terringer. Jo.
- So first of all, welcome to the Kootenays.
We're always excited
to have so many locums come through here.
So many see our mountains and lakes,
and decide to just stay.
There's so much opportunity here.
And of course, as you know, as a locum,
you can work on an on-call or part-time basis.
There's really a lot of choice for you.
And I do have a note here
that you've been practicing as a locum for seven years.
Is that correct?
In Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick,
Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, mostly small towns, yes?
And there have been some issues.
- I've been treated intermittently
for the past three years for PTSD.
- And you're still receiving treatment?
- Intermittently.
- Forgive me, Dr. Terringer, I don't want to distress you,
but can you explain the PTSD to me?
- Five years ago, I was visiting St. Joseph's Middle School
in Frederickton, New Brunswick.
It was career day.
And my nephew asked me to come speak to his class
about how I was becoming a doctor.
- My God, I, I do apologize. I wasn't aware.
- I will say I've struggled.
- Yes, there is a note here to that effect.
I see there have also been some complaints.
- As I said, I had a difficult time.
- You understand you're no longer on probation.
If there are complaints here, your license will be revoked.
So I have you reporting this Tuesday
at 8:00 AM sharp to your clinic.
And then at 6:00 PM that night
to the Creston Valley Hospital and Dr. Kurt Franklin.
He's the chief of staff. He's a really great guy.
You'll get on well with him, so...
Wonderful place up the lake.
I'm sure you'll end up seeing it at some point.
Hope you enjoy your time here.

[phone chimes]
- Hi, Mom.
It's nice.
Yeah, I can see the mountains from where I'm sitting.
Yeah, the people are nice, very professional.
I don't know, they make me so stoned, but I do.
How's Dad? No, no, I'm not ready for that.
Just, just tell her...
Well, tell her if the job's still available
when I come back, I'll consider it, okay?
What?
No.
Well, forgiveness is a tricky thing, Mom.
- [Taylor] You say that every year.
- [Student] Maybe one day it'll come true.
- Will it?
- I hope so. Maybe with that new principal, it will.
- Yeah. I don't know.
They did say she was pretty science inclined.
You know what? I only got an 89% on that.
- [Student] Oh, poor brainiac you. 89%.
- Well, you know I have to get straight A's
if I wanna get into UBC. She told me that herself.
- You already have like an A plus in physics.
- Yeah, but like this is gonna bring it way down.
- Taylor, lighten up.
You're still destined to save the environment.
Don't worry about it.
You know what my mom said?
She said if I don't get a B in biology,
then I'm gonna have to go to summer school.
- Biology?
- Don't be an asshole, Ryan.
- What? Biology's easy.
- True that.
- No, it's not. Biochem is really hard.
Jeez, you guys,
are you gonna take over the world or something?
[gentle music]
- [Speaker] What's up, buddy?
- You gonna go see the play on the weekend?
- Talking about [indistinct].
- That's no excuse. At least you get your dad's car.
- The Tesla? He won't let me drive that.
I can't touch that car.
I can't even be within three feet of that car.
- You know, why don't you guys just take the bus
to Portland?
- [laughs] What? The Greyhound? Hell no.
We're not taking the Gray down.
This shine down, are you kidding?
- Yo, Ryan, you comin' with us?
- [Ryan] I told you, man, I gotta study.
- No, he's gotta horn dog, that's what he's gotta do.
- Ryan, at least get the E.
- You don't wanna cross the border with that.
Just get it in Portland.
- What, you're kidding.
Our border, they're all pussies, man. No.
- Whatever, man. Just don't get caught.
Hey, I want to talk to you about something.
- Okay?
- I just wanna run something by you.
- Like?
- Not here. We can talk about it tomorrow.
- Okay.
- Ryan, get your bony chemical ass over here.
[Ryan sighs] [ball thumps]
[group murmurs]
[gentle music]
[bag thumps]
- Not on the floor, Ryan.
[Ryan sighs]
[bag thumps]
Or my piano.
There's ribs for dinner in like an hour.
- [Ryan] Not hungry.
- [Yvonne] Well, they're barbecue.
[soda tab pops]
What's going on with your eyes?
- Nothing.
- Are you not sleeping?
Your dad called. He really wants to talk to you.
It's common courtesy. Or at least text him back.
- Why should I bother? It's not like he's in my life.
- That's not true.
Ryan, you've gotta learn to communicate with us.
Just 'cause I'm not with your dad anymore,
that doesn't mean that we don't love you
or want you to talk to us.
- [Ryan] How does communication follow from love, Yvonne?
Logic much?
- You know how uncomfortable I am
with you calling me Yvonne.
- [Ryan] Yeah. And I'm real uncomfortable with the mom part.
- I talk to you and you never talk to me.
How do you think that makes me feel?
- Tell you what, why don't you phone my father
and talk to him?
Then maybe you'll both feel better.
[tense music]
[Ryan sighs]
[knife smacks]
[Ryan sighs]
[phone rings]
- [Ryan's Dad] Hey, buddy. Long time no see.
So, you two getting along?
- I don't know why you're doing this.
- [Ryan's Dad] Because your mom needs a second chance.
Both with you and with the house.
- Yeah.
Well, she sure does love your house.
- [Ryan's Dad] And my dad left it to both of us.
You know that.
- So why'd she leave it?
- [Ryan's Dad] She had demons, Ryan. She had...
She needed time.
As it turned out, she needed a lot of time.
- It's just so fucked up.
You know? I come into the kitchen Saturday morning,
expect to see you there, making bacon and eggs.
But there she is, making flaxseed waffles
with vegan honey or some other shit.
[Ryan sighs]
I don't know her, Dad.
[calm music]
[calm music continues]
[door creaks]
[door thumps]
- Hi, I'm- - Late.
You can get changed in the bathroom over there.
So the business office is connected to the reception.
You've already seen the coffee room downstairs.
We don't have a consultation room,
so you're gonna have to use one of the exam rooms for that.
We have four exam rooms.
This is the scan here. Any questions?
- Not yet.
- Okay. So you have Mrs. Lefebvre
and her son Ryan in six, Mr. Parkinson in five,
and Patty and her new baby in about five minutes.
- I guess I misjudged the commute.
- Hmm.
[knocks] The doctor will be right in.
You'll do fine.
- Thanks.
[Jo knocks]
Good morning.
I'm Dr. Terringer.
- [Yvonne] Sorry. Where's Dr. Haley?
- I'm a locum. I'm covering for him while he's away.
How can I help?
- [Yvonne] Well, are you an actual doctor?
- I'm a licensed GP.
I fill in for other doctors while they're sick,
away on stress leave.
- So our doctor's on stress leave?
- How can I help?
- [Yvonne] My son is not sleeping.
- I didn't say that. - Yes, you did.
- Nope. - Ryan, your-
- Mom, why don't I speak Ryan on his own?
I think he's capable of speaking for himself.
- [Ryan] Mom.
- We'll call you back in if we need you.
[door closes]
So what's going on?
- [Ryan] Nothing. She's menopausal.
- Are you sleeping okay?
- [Ryan] Sure.
- [Jo] Okay. Any stress at home, school?
- [Ryan] No.
- All right. Are you taking anything?
How about recreational drugs?
- How about them?
- Listen, I'd like to prescribe you a mild antibiotic
for the eye infection it looks like you're having,
but I'd really like to examine you.
Okay.
- So I guess if I'm capable of speaking for myself,
I'm also capable of leaving when I want?
- That's correct.
Listen, Ryan, if there's any way I can help,
come back and see me.
- Yeah.
- [Yvonne] So when is Dr. Haley back?
- Probably not till the end of July,
but that's not confirmed.
- Well, I don't know about this woman doctor.
I don't like her. She's very young and lippy.
And I think my son should have a male doctor.
Don't you think a young man should?
Ryan!
[calm music]
[birds chirp]
- That party on Saturday.
You wanna go? It'll be fun.
- Yeah. We'll see.
- Hey, kids, time to get out.
We're locking up in two minutes.
- Yeah, we're goin'.
- Oh my God. Did you hear what she said?
- What?
- She said that there's cameras in the bathrooms.
- I heard she told the grads
that if they didn't shake her hand,
they weren't gonna get their diplomas.
- Oh, no way. - Yeah.
- She's crazy. - Mm-hmm.
- So I looked into the courses at UVC.
First semester is gonna be biology of the cell,
human biology, and environmental biology.
- You have like a whole nother year of high school.
Why are you thinking about university?
- After I graduate, I could always do my masters
at Berkeley or Imperial College London.
Ms. Davison says both are good.
- Great.
- Oh, there's a great chemistry department there too.
You could always come. Ms. Davison says it's great.
- Okay, great. Can I come to your place for dinner tonight?
- Sure.
Yeah, well, you're the one
that says you don't wanna get stuck in a small town.
- Look, can I talk to you about something?
- We talk constantly, or haven't you noticed that?
- I want you to try something with me.
Five minutes in and out.
- You know how I feel about your experiments.
- Yeah, but I've tried this one. It's fucking amazing.
- You're gonna kill yourself one of these days.
- Taylor, I need you with me on this.
- But I don't know what's in it.
- You know, after all we've been through together,
and you don't trust me?
- I don't do drugs, Ryan.
- Look, it's safe. And like I told you, it's amazing.
- [Taylor] Is it though?
- [Ryan] Yeah. Yeah. It's pretty great.
- Which one's for the front door?
- I'll lock up after you, but it's this one.
- Okay. Thanks.
- Long day, huh?
- Not bad. I'm on graveyard with the hospital tonight.
- Good luck with that. - Thanks.
- Hey, you did well today with some tough patients.
- Thanks.
- You know, this town can really use a good female GP.
You'd fit right in.
- We'll see.
- We'll see always means no.
[Jo laughs]
[gentle music]
- [Taylor] Your mother's gonna freak if she finds me here.
[dog barks]
So where is she?
- [Ryan] How would I know? Doesn't matter to me anyways.
- Seriously?
- Hey, have some respect. My grandma gave me those.
So you're considering it?
It's real mild.
It's like a super sophisticated molly,
but there's hardly any psychedelic in it.
Well, it's not exactly true,
but it's all controlled chemicals.
There's something similar to it on the market,
but it's a lot more dangerous, or so I've heard.
But this I created based off an old hallucinogen
from the '70s. Exophoria.
It's kinda like a deep meditation.
I mean, yeah, you can share it with either somebody else
or just by yourself.
And it gets you really into your head.
- [Taylor] [laughs] That's a good thing because?
- Because it'll help you with your work as a scientist.
I mean, you can literally like share your thoughts
with someone else.
If you like the person.
Nobody can come at you, you know, hawing at you.
- I have no idea what you're talking about.
- Five minutes beginning to end. Promise.
- And what happens?
- Everything.
We'll do it together.
All you have to do is just look into my eyes
and hold my hand.
And whatever you do, don't let go.
- Why? Ryan?
- [Ryan] Don't worry. Nothing will interrupt us.
It'll be fine.
- [Taylor] This is crazy. Are you sure?
- Yeah.
Okay. Think of where you want to go.
- Mount Thompson.
- All right, let's go. Take my hand.
- Oh God. Something's happening. It's...
What is this?
- Just keep looking at my eyes.
[calm music]
[singer vocalizes]
[singer continues vocalizing]
[dramatic music]
[Taylor gasps]
- I don't believe it.
I gotta go home. I have a guitar lesson tonight.
- I'll walk you.
[gentle music]
- I just, I can't believe it.
I'd swore I'd never do drugs, Ryan.
But like, it's not what I thought.
It's like we have to do it again soon.
But like somewhere else this time,
like at the bottom of an ocean or like a rainforest.
- Easy there, cowgirl.
Gotta exercise some kind of moderation here, you know.
It's powerful stuff.
- [Taylor] Whenever you say,
but we have to go again, like soon.
- How about tomorrow night?
My mom's gonna be out with one of her idiot friends.
- But longer this time?
- That can be arranged.
[gentle music]
[phone rings]
- Yeah.
- [Ryan's Dad] Hi. Can you get him to phone me?
He's not responding. I'm just wondering what's going on.
- Well, if I didn't know any better,
I'd say you were poisoning the well.
- [Ryan's Dad] I don't wanna talk about it, Yvonne.
Where is he?
- I think he's in his room.
- [Ryan's Dad] Well, I'd like
to get him out fishing next weekend.
- Well, what about me? What if I have plans with him?
- [Ryan's Dad] This is why I'm calling now.
- [sighs] Alright, I'll go check.
I don't know why you didn't replace the carpet
in this house.
That dog of yours completely wrecked it.
You can't have this here.
[Yvonne knocks]
[ominous music]
[singer vocalizes]
- Ryan!
[machines beep]
- [Kurt] Where's that tox screen, damn it?
Sorry, I've forgotten your name.
- Terringer.
- Well, Dr. Terringer, I'd appreciate your opinion, please.
- Well, first, there's a radical misalignment of the eyes.
The fusion is broken.
It's certainly extreme. I've never seen anything like it.
Spasms of the limbs, elevated heart rate and blood pressure.
- [Kurt] And?
- She and the second patient clearly present with comas,
obviously from illicit drug use.
- Bingo. What do you make of that?
- Looks like a designer drug. MDMA derivative.
I don't recognize the adulterant. Ketamine maybe?
- Something different every time.
Where did they come up with this shit?
Have you looked at the boy?
- He presents exactly the same.
- [Kurt] We're gonna need Donna on this. I don't like it.
- Donna Mackenzie. She's our neurologist.
She's from Kelowna.
- [Kurt] Well, I guess you'd better talk to the parents.
- Oh, where are they?
- Follow your ears, Dr. Terringer.
- [Ryan's Dad] Maybe if you had been watching him properly.
- That's bullshit. I watch him like a hawk.
- Yeah. And that's why he's in this situation now.
- Oh my God. You're unbelievable.
I don't know what you expect from me.
I'm trying to make up for lost time. I don't see...
- How is she?
- It's all right. She's stable. Breathing on her own.
Your son is also stable. It's all right.
- What did they take?
- We don't know yet. But the toxicology report suggests
some kind of hybrid form of ecstasy.
- That should wear off, right?
- [Jo] In the best case, yes, it should only be a few hours.
- What about the worst case?
- It's much too early to think about that.
Please don't panic.
But we did see some irregularities in the drug screen.
We're speaking with a specialist.
We hope to have a better sense of where we're at very soon.
- [Taylor's Dad] So where did they get it?
- [Jo] That's where you can help us.
- It's possible that our son has been experimenting drugs
of some kind.
He's always been into chemistry ever since he was little.
- [Jo] If you can look in his room for pills or powder.
- [clears throat] I found this on the edge of his bed.
- So you knew about this all along?
- That's all I found. - All right.
- For all I know, it was- - Everybody needs
to go home and get some rest. All right?
- Can I stay here?
- I don't know.
- I'll like sleep in a waiting room chair or wherever.
I just, I cannot leave him.
- All right, okay.
Just try and stay back and out of the way
and don't interfere.
Taylor, can you hear me?
Don't worry. We'll get through this.
It's gonna be okay.
[eerie music]
[eerie music continues]
- Look, we just don't have the staff.
We've lost four LPNs already.
- You don't flush out Legionellas
with a bottle of Lysol, Kurt.
It takes time.
But for the record, I did tell the board
that it was a bad time for renovations.
Look, we'll airlift the brain injuries to Kelowna.
Palliative patients we can shift to Nelson. They have space.
Maternity's empty for the moment.
The rest can stay,
except for Team Ecstasy. They can go home.
They're young, they'll come around.
But that's, it's just temporary.
You are the only one who has a problem with this, Kurt.
- I doubt that.
[birds chirp] [phone chimes]
[Jo sighs]
- Terrific.
[Jo sighs]
- We're assigning you to home care
until this outbreak's over.
- So you're sending the coma patients home?
Isn't that a little unusual?
- Ever heard of hospital at home? It's a new delivery-
- [Jo] They're not stable enough for home care.
- Look, it's not my decision, it's a temporary measure,
and it's not gonna be a problem
'cause you're gonna be on top of it.
We'll give you a couple home care nurses.
Well, go forth and heal, Dr. Terringer.
[door thumps]
- She has I don't know how many visitors.
Do you want me to send them home?
- [Jo] No, it's okay. How is she?
- I can't tell. The same, I guess.
Her bedroom's the first door on the right.
- Thank you.
- [Taylor's Friend] We're supposed to talk to you
because apparently you can hear us?
- She can definitely hear you girls.
- Sometimes her lips move.
It's like she's whispering in her sleep.
- Think of all the school she's missing.
- Well, it's not a holiday for Taylor.
[Jo knocks]
All right, girls, doctor's here. It's time to vamoose.
She is stable. Mom said she had a great night.
- We need staff watching her at nights.
Jesus!
- Sorry. I'm Taylor's old science teacher,
substitute teacher these days.
Am I bothering you? I can leave.
- It's fine.
- Hands down the finest scientific mind I've ever met.
And then she created a cookbook
based on native invasive species.
She put sowthistle into our saffron coffee.
Everybody thought we'd upgraded to Starbucks.
You know, when she was 12,
she did this experiment examining tree rings
to assess forest growth after a wildfire.
You should ask her father about that.
He drove her all over the province.
You know, this takes me back
to my psilocybin days at Berkeley.
There's an ephedrine mix we called Exophoria.
It was a party drug for couples.
You could talk yourself
into all kinds of shared hallucinations,
but it wreaked havoc with your eyes though.
It was all very innocent in those days, but now...
And you couldn't take it by yourself.
Mind blowing paranoia.
- Ryan, it's Jo Terringer. Do you remember me?
You're at home in emergency care.
You've taken a toxic hallucinogen.
I need you to wake up and tell me what happened.
Can you do that for me?
Listen, Ryan, it's not your fault.
You're not in trouble.
I just need you to talk to me.
[gentle music]

[Jo gasps]
[drawer bangs]
[visitor knocks]
- Oh, well, that's a new look.
There you go.
- Hmm. Greek salad. You remembered.
- Yeah. That one's got like lettuce in it or something.
- Hmm. Strange.
- No. I didn't make it.
- How many lunches do you have in there?
- Not lunches. Salads.
Six, in fact. Six salads for the salad queen.
- [laughs] Jeez.
- Yeah, we've got your Greek salad, a Korean noodle salad,
two kinds of pasta salad.
- Got any forks?
- Yeah.
A soda for you. - Thank you.
- A beer for me, as per usual. And [sighs] forks.
- Perfect.
So do you wanna tell me what you're doing here?
- Not really.
- Just in the neighborhood, hey?
- Yeah, something like that.
- The neighborhood being 5 1/2 hours away?
- I gotta get out sometimes. Stretch my legs.
- My mother didn't send you, did she?
- No. I'm a big boy and I came all by myself.
What's all this about?
- What about it?
- Well, it's kind of an interesting look for you.
- It's who I am here.
- There's potato salad.
- That one's for you. The carbs.
- I thought it was calories.
- It's carbs down, not calories.
- Hmm.
[soda tab pops]
So a snake walks into a bar
and the bartender says, "How did you do that?"
[Jo laughs]
[Jo sighs]
You know, I probably should have just gone
to business school and been done with it.
- You wouldn't have been happy in business school.
- Oh, no. Can you imagine?
Just the endless networking and blah, blah, blah.
- It's amazing you're here and not home working.
- [Speaker] Why aren't you home working?
- I am home.
- [Speaker] But here?
It's nice enough, but I don't think you can call it home.
- I like it here.
- When are you coming back?
There's always gonna be kids on drugs.
There's always gonna be kids in comas.
You can't save them all.
Oh, shit.
Look, I didn't mean it like that.
I need you home.
- Won't be long now.
Just a little bit longer.
[gentle music]
[engine rumbles]
[car honks]
- "Seven, 1958.
Dr. Wallace saw no chickadees

You remember when we had that discussion in class?
You said that humans are the same way.
That we don't exist alone.
You may feel like you're alone, Taylor, but you're not.
We're all here.
You're not alone.
Where are you, Taylor?
[Taylor grunts] [fire crackles]
[eerie music] [singer vocalizes]
[fire crackles]
- Lake.
- What's happening at the lake?
[fire crackles]
- Fire.
[fire crackles]
- It is my policy not to allow recreational drug use
whilst in game.
- That's understandable.
- Especially not me.
As the dungeon master, it is my responsibility
for the narrative flow of the game.
I can hardly be getting high in the middle of the plot.
Ryan was never stoned in any of my games.
I can tell you that.
But he would always bring a bag of licorice with him.
You know, the magical land of licorice?
- Do you know anyone that might have given him some drugs?
- [Dungeon Master] And why would I be getting
into that with you?
- Because we have two teenagers in comas.
- So who are you in this situation?
The temp doctor from the big city riding in to save the day?
- [Jo] I've been assigned to their care.
- Assigned. Okay.
Careful of that little thug.
He bites.
[bird screeches]
You know, you can go talk to a buddy of mine.
Him and his brother used to be in the business.
If you talk sweet to them, they might be able to help.

And there's a lady in your office.
- Ooh, lucky me.
Oh, Hubert Brandys. What can I do you for?
[door creaks]
I usually got a open door policy for my employees,
but, uh, this case I can make an exception.
- [Jo] Listen, I won't waste your time.
We've got a couple of kids in town in comas
after taking a new ecstasy cocktail.
I was told you might know something about that.
- Like what?
- Like where they got it. - And why would I know that?
- [Jo] Someone in town said you might.
- Are you accusing me of supplying kids with illicit drugs?
- No. No. Listen, I don't care how they got it.
I just need to know where they got it
so we can identify the adulterant.
- Get it tested or something.
- No, it was accidentally destroyed.
- I can't help you.
Sorry about Ryan and his little friend,
but it's got nothing to do with me.
- So you do know these kids?
- It's a small town. Word gets around.
- Yeah.
Thanks, I guess.
[door thumps]
- [Yvonne] We could have had a better chance
if you'd been honest with me.
- [Ryan's Dad] Seriously? Not in here.
- [Yvonne] Well, where then?
- [Ryan's Dad] He can hear every word that we're saying.
- It's not such a bad thing.
He should hear what we're talking about.
- Hear what exactly? - You know what I mean.
- [Ryan's Dad] That was all in your head, Yvonne.
I, I cannot apologize
for some imaginary made up affair that you think I had.
That would be insane.
Besides, I'm not the one that almost killed him.
- Are you fucking kidding me right now?
That was an accident.
It was the middle of the night.
You were out somewhere again with the car.
I couldn't even get him to the hospital.
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you!
Don't know why I ever loved you.
You're so unlovable.
[Ryan gasps]
Oh my God, Justin, he's not breathing!
- Hey, Alicia. Yeah, he started breathing on his own again.
Yeah, right after the paramedics got here.
Who?
Oh, Ann.
Yeah. No, tell her not to come.
Where is she?
Great.
- [Ann] I can go in with them.
I was a pretty good trip sitter back in my day.
- I don't think so.
- No, no, no, no. I'll go in with her.
I can do this.
- That's a terrible idea.
- Somebody knows where this drug is
and we've just gotta track it down.
- It's too risky. I mean, how old are you?
I mean, how's your health?
- Oh, what else have we got?
[Jo sighs] [suspenseful music]
[door thumps]
[solemn music]
- Look, I'm sorry. - So am I.
- [Jo] We almost lost Ryan today.
- Listen, whatever you heard about me, it isn't true. Okay?
- He stopped breathing.
- Well, then call the proper authorities
like Kootenay Health or the RCMP or something.
- I have.
They're trying to track this thing down themselves.
Just, just a lead, a name, someone.
- Listen, I don't, I don't deal anymore. Okay?
So this has nothing to do with me.
I only got so many opportunities to do this in a small town.
I'm done.
- [Jo] Someone else then?
- Lemme see what I can do.
But wait to hear from me.
Don't ever come back here again.
Okay?
- All right. Okay. Thank you.
[solemn music]
[door thumps]
- [Yvonne] You're not getting anywhere, are you?
- It takes time, Ms. Lefebvre.
- Yeah, well, the longer my child is in a coma,
the higher the risk of brain damage, right?
I'm starting to think you're all incompetent.
- That's not fair.
- Or you're ignoring him because he's been experimenting.
- We are absolutely not ignoring him.
I am personally working overtime.
- You know, it's within my rights
to find another physician that can do the job.
- You have every right to seek a second opinion.
- Yeah. Trust me, I will.

[visitor knocks]
- Hello?
- If your landlord asks me what I was doing here
at one in the afternoon on a Thursday,
you tell him I was delivering an estimate
for your father's birthday party next month.
Also, your stuff, two tablets is in there.
You owe me 150 bucks. - Can I transfer?
- No transfer. Cash only.
You're gonna give it to me as a tip at the hotel.
- [Jo] Okay.
- Hey, Mr. Leichenberg!
How's it going?
Nothing? Alright.
So yeah, your party drug here, Exophoria,
also called Sky High, Road Trip.
It's marketed like a shared hallucinogen,
which I don't know, it killed five kids in Trail last month,
so I wouldn't mess with it.
Wait till you're inside.
- [Jo] Right. Sorry.
- You think you know what you're doing with this shit?
- [Jo] I have a pretty good idea.
- Yeah, well, they got everything
and the kitchen sink mixed up in this thing,
so it's definitely hot.
- Well, look, I wanna thank you.
- Don't thank me just yet.
Also, we can provide you with a birthday cake
with your father's face plastered on it.
It'll feed 26 people with some leftover
for your lovely landlord, Mr. Leichenberg.
Goodbye, Doctor.
Don't hesitate to never contact me again.
[tense music]
[door thumps]
[envelope rustles]
[door thumps]
- That was fast.
- Look, wait till I get there. We'll split one.
Not without me, Ann.
- You forget.
I'm experienced.
[gentle music]
[gentle music continues]
- [Taylor's Dad] She seems restless today.
- [Ann] Well, maybe that's a good thing.
- [Taylor's Dad] It seems like she's trying to speak.
- Why don't you take a rest for a while,
for an hour or so? Take a break.
- Yeah, I think I'll do that.
- Taylor, where are you?
Are you still by the lake?
[paper crinkles]
Where are you, Taylor?
[water splashes]
You have to get out of here.
- [Taylor] I can't.
- If you stay here, you can't do anything.
You have to go.
- [Taylor] It's all our fault.
We've done this, but we have to fix it.
- [Ann] But we can work to change it.
You can work to change it.
- [Taylor] If I stay here, maybe I can fix this.
- [Ann] If you stay here, Taylor, you'll only die.
We have to go.
Taylor, you must leave now.
[wind blows]
- Miss Davison?
[gentle music]
Mom?
Dad?
- [Taylor's Mom] Taylor!
[gentle music]
[gentle music continues]
[Jo knocks]
- Dr. Terringer.
How you doing, mom?
- Well, I know we haven't exactly seen eye to eye,
but you've been helping Ryan a lot
and you've been here for him.
So I just wanted you to know that we're thankful.
- [Jo] Of course.
- But he's not getting better.
Isn't there a shot or something you can give him?
A shot of adrenaline to wake him up?
- It's not that simple.
- [Yvonne] [sighs] I don't understand that.
- [Jo] I think the next step is to airlift him to Kelowna.
- Can we keep him here? Like our hospital?
- [Jo] It's still not safe.
- So now you're saying it's an emergency?
- No, Yvonne.
I mean the longer he's in a coma, the greater the danger.
You know this.
- But it's been less than a week.
- And you're doing a great job.
It just feels like he's in some sort of stasis.
- [Yvonne] And what does that mean?
- Like he's stuck in his own head.
I just...
I wonder if there's anything you need to say to him?
- [Yvonne] Like what?
- [Jo] Like an explanation you owe him?
- What would that be for?
- [Jo] I don't, I just get the sense that you and he-
- I don't think that this is any of your business.
- It's not. I just-
- [Yvonne] Then maybe stay out of it.
- When we let kids down, we owe them an apology.
- And what would you know about that?
- More than you know.
- Well, perhaps, Doctor,
you could just go do your fucking job!
- You know, you don't have to watch me
every single minute of the day.
- Uh, yeah. Dad says I do.
So I think I have something to tell you.
- What?
- I heard Mom talking on the phone
and I think Ms. Davison died.
- What?
- [Taylor's Sister] I don't know, but I think she died.
[ominous music]
- [Taylor] I've got to see Ryan.
- Tay? Um, he's not doing the best.
Hey, you're not supposed to rush.
- But I just, I feel like this is all my fault.
- Are you kidding? This is so obviously his fault.
- I've gotta see him.
- Not if Mom and Dad have anything to do with it.
[tense music]
[static crackles]
[tense music continues]
[eerie music]
- [Yvonne] Sweetie, come talk to me.
You know, I always talk to you
and you never come and talk with me.
How do you think that makes me feel?
[eerie music]
[projector clicks]
[Yvonne's voice distorts]
[tense music]
When they showed us a picture of you, I told your dad,
"That is the cutest little baby
I have ever seen in my life."
I mean, it was love at first sight.
So we started the adoption process
and you know I've told you this story a million times.
So you know it.
You have to fill out a bunch of forms.
You have to prove that you're fit as a parent,
that you're healthy, that there's no instability,
and no history of abuse.
[scissors snap]
And then the cops come by your house
and they come check for a home visit.
The home study, they call it.
And you know, people don't realize this at all,
but adoption isn't free.
Of course, we had to wait almost a year
before we could take you home.
And by that time, you were a toddler
and you weren't my little baby anymore.
You spent three months crying every night.
Took forever for you to get used to us.
But it was all worth it.
I had to have you.
You were the one for me.

[machine beeps]
- [Speaker] Ryan.
[eerie music]
- Tell him.
Yvonne, listen.
Tell him what he needs to know.
You have to tell him, you bitch!
- [Ryan] Mom.
Mom, please.
- Ryan, there's something I have to tell you.
And I need you to know
'cause I, I never told you before,
but I hurt you when you were, you were just a tiny guy.
I gave you too much medicine
and I had no idea that it was gonna hurt you so bad.
And it was all my fault. And I can't take it back.
So I left. I ran.
I was so scared that you would never forgive me anyway.
I need you to forgive me.
Can you please, please forgive me?
You are my little man.
And I need you, I need you to forgive me.
Please.
[gentle music]
- [Jo] Kids, stay here.
I'm gonna go find a way out.
I'll be right back.
