0:31>> What did you eat today?
0:35>> Coffee.
0:37>> Coffee's not food.
0:44Drink all of it and you don't drive for
0:4615 minutes.
0:49>> Easy, Gus.
0:53Nobody sat in that seat in 6 years.
0:54Nobody.
1:08>> This isn't my ride, is it?
1:11>> No.
1:13You know whose car you just got into?
1:15>> Somebody who thinks coffee's a meal.
1:18Finish that and yeah, I sit up front. I
1:20get carsick in the back.
1:27>> Tommy's still in surgery.
1:28Two in the side, they're saying.
1:33Upstairs is all cops and reporters,
1:35boss. You walk in there, you're on the
1:37front page tomorrow.
1:41He doesn't listen to anybody, ma'am.
1:44>> He's listening to me.
1:55Better. Okay, now you can drive.
1:58>> Out of surgery, stable.
2:03Where to?
2:05>> Avondale, Belmont, over the laundromat.
2:114:40 in the morning and people are still
2:13showing up to visit.
2:18>> Somebody's in Lucas' front seat. Find
2:21out who.
2:35That's four times past the zoo.
2:47>> Sorry. I fell asleep in your seat.
2:51>> It's not my seat.
2:55>> Don't.
2:57I'm the one who got in your car.
2:59You don't know me. I don't know you. I
3:00like it that way.
3:10And keep some juice in this car. You're
3:11going to need it again.
3:14>> Good night, Nurse Kowalski.
3:16>> It's morning.
3:22>> That's Sofia's seat, boss. And some
3:23nurse just climbed right in.
3:25>> I know.
3:28>> Did you see the reminder? The loan
3:30payment comes out Friday.
3:32>> I saw it.
3:33>> I can take one more night shift.
3:35>> Mom, you're 61.
3:36>> Kowalskis pay their own way, Nina.
3:40>> Yeah.
3:41I know.
3:42Thanks for floating up. Bed seven, Tommy
3:45Russo, four days, and his guy still
3:47won't leave that door.
3:50Nobody gets left alone with that kid,
3:52not even us.
4:01>> You.
4:02You're standing in front of my crash
4:03cart. Out.
4:09>> They let you up here?
4:12>> We're short-staffed. They'll let anybody
4:14up here.
4:15You eat today?
4:17>> Breakfast.
4:19>> Look at you.
4:25Honey,
4:26that's Luca Marchetti.
4:28Half of Chicago crosses the street when
4:30he walks by.
4:33At 4:00 in the morning, he couldn't hold
4:34a juice box straight. In here, he's just
4:36family.
4:39>> Professor,
4:40cannoli
4:41for the nurses. Nobody ever brings them
4:43anything.
4:48Poor kid.
4:49I got here before they took him up, you
4:50know. Signed his forms myself.
4:52>> [snorts]
5:00>> Who brought you in?
5:02>> Drove
5:03myself.
5:12Arthur Kane.
5:14I kept the books for Luca's father, and
5:16now I keep them for Luca.
5:19You're the nurse who got into his car.
5:22>> Wrong car. Long night.
5:26>> Careful whose car you get into, dear.
5:36You said coffee isn't food.
5:39I've been standing here 20 minutes
5:40trying to work out how people say this.
5:43>> Say what?
5:45>> Breakfast.
5:46With me.
5:47Usually I just tell people where to be.
5:54>> Bus stops right there. I've had enough
5:55of your car for 1 week, Ski.
5:58My dad collapsed on a train platform
6:00downtown. Heart attack. There's video.
6:0432 people walked around him. I counted.
6:08Bypass surgery.
6:10My mom and I have been paying it off for
6:126 years.
6:13So, no.
6:15I wasn't getting out of your car.
6:17I don't walk past.
6:21>> How'd you know that night that I hadn't
6:24eaten?
6:25>> Your hands.
6:26Faces lie. Hands don't.
6:29>> [snorts]
6:30>> My dad said that.
6:3230 years fixing buses for the city.
6:36He could tell you who was hungover,
6:39who was scared, who was about to quit
6:42just by looking at their hands.
6:56You paid off my loan.
7:00>> It was nothing.
7:02>> That was my dad's heart.
7:04That was 6 years of my mother working
7:06nights.
7:07You don't get to make that nothing.
7:12I already called them.
7:14Every dime's going back to you.
7:16Next time you ask,
7:18I might even say yes.
7:22>> May I walk you to your bus?
7:26>> [sighs]
7:29>> Who sends that kind of money back?
7:33May I send dinner to your floor?
7:38>> You could just send it, boss.
7:41>> She said ask.
7:43>> Your car.
7:44>> Your [snorts] car.
7:44>> You may.
7:47>> [laughter]
7:50[snorts]
7:55>> For your car.
7:57May I call you
8:00on your break?
8:02>> You've got 4 minutes.
8:04>> Then I'll talk fast.
8:06>> [laughter]
8:15[cough]
8:26>> 101.
8:28Three nights out here in the cold and
8:30now you're running a fever.
8:32Whoever's paying you isn't paying you
8:33enough.
8:37Chicken soup. Bring the thermos back
8:39when you're done.
8:41And tell your boss
8:43if he wants to keep an eye on me
8:45he can ask.
8:55>> Okay, Marchetti. You and me are going to
8:57talk about your little friend across the
9:09>> front. Please.
9:14I didn't know where else to go.
9:16>> Whose seat is this, Luca?
9:20>> My daughter's.
9:23It was her sixth birthday.
9:27She'd been begging to ride up front for
9:28a year and I always said no.
9:31That night she says "Birthday girl gets
9:33the front seat, Daddy."
9:35Four blocks.
9:36I said yes.
9:38Red light on Ashland.
9:41A car pulls up next to us.
9:43The cost is
9:47She got hit in the shoulder.
9:49She lived.
9:53I had every window replaced.
9:55Kept the sticker.
9:58Next morning I signed her away.
10:01Her mother took her home to Evanston.
10:03New last name.
10:08Arthur said a man with a kid is a man on
10:10a leash.
10:11He wasn't wrong.
10:15She turned 12 today.
10:18I drove up to Ridgeview Middle School by
10:19myself.
10:22Every birthday
10:24I park across from wherever she is.
10:27Six years and I've never once gotten out
10:30of the car.
10:34That's why my hands were shaking that
10:36night.
10:37Tommy got hit at a red light.
10:48>> What's her name?
10:51>> Sophia.
10:53>> Tell me about her.
10:55>> She kicks with her left.
10:58Ties her laces twice around before she
11:00knots them.
11:02Laughs with her whole body.
11:04I could see that from across the street.
11:12>> That's how you tie yours.
11:14>> [sighs and snorts]
11:17>> Next birthday you get out of the car.
11:21>> I don't know how.
11:23>> Then I'll sit right here while you
11:24figure it out.
11:29Luca
11:31the man with the Canali.
11:33He lied in that room.
11:35>> Arthur?
11:39>> I can't tell you about my patient's
11:40night. That's Tommy's to tell.
11:43But I can tell you what I saw with my
11:45own eyes.
11:48You got the text he was out of surgery.
11:50We pulled out and Arthur's car pulled
11:53in.
11:554:40.
11:56>> [music]
11:57>> You were watching the road.
11:59I was watching the window.
12:03He said he signed the forms before they
12:04took Tommy up.
12:06When Tommy wakes up,
12:08ask him who did.
12:14>> Arthur's the only one of my people who
12:16knows where Sofia is.
12:18Six years and she's been safe.
12:20>> Then checking won't cost you anything.
12:27>> Gus will take you home.
12:37Nice school. Evanston's a long drive.
12:40Gus,
12:41two cars up to Ridgeview, now.
12:48It's me.
12:50I know.
12:51Six years.
12:53Listen to me. Don't let her walk home
12:54this week. My people are outside the
12:56school. I'll explain.
13:07Somebody told the Castas' son.
13:09Six years and nobody knew.
13:12Did you tell the nurse about Sofia? The
13:15school?
13:17Yes.
13:20You paid off her loan and she sent it
13:22back.
13:24I keep the books. I saw both. Smart
13:27girl.
13:28Then on Tuesday the Costa's paid it off
13:32one of their companies have Gus check.
13:38>> It's real boss.
13:43>> Costa's people made the payment.
13:45>> [clears throat]
13:46>> They did. I drove your cash over myself.
13:51You said nobody was going to go near the
13:52kid.
13:53>> And nobody will
13:55not once Luca stops being sentimental.
14:00Sunday dinner you tell the table you saw
14:02the nurse with Costa's people.
14:06By Christmas the families will want a
14:08man without a leash at the head of that
14:10table.
14:12>> [cough]
14:21>> You did it again. I told you to ask me.
14:24>> I didn't pay it.
14:26The Costa's did
14:28and they sent me this.
14:29Sofia's school.
14:35You're the only person I ever told about
14:37that school Nina.
14:44>> You think I gave away where your
14:45daughter goes to school
14:47for a loan?
14:49I sent your money back Luca. Why would I
14:51keep theirs?
14:55You get to be scared for her.
14:57You don't get to be scared of me.
15:02The second payment I want it sent back.
15:05I don't care who it came from it's not
15:06mine.
15:12If Luca didn't pay it
15:15then who sent that guy outside my
15:16window?
15:22>> Tommy's awake. He's asking for you.
15:25>> [sighs]
15:27>> Night before I got shot,
15:29I'm outside the Pincer's office.
15:32He's on with Joe Costa.
15:34Gives him a school up in Evanton.
15:37I figured it was business.
15:41Then he sees me in the doorway.
15:43Says,
15:44"The kid heard me.
15:46Handle it."
15:49Next night, they get me at the light.
15:54>> Who signed your forms?
15:57>> Me.
15:58A nurse held the killed bird. Nobody
15:59else was there.
16:05>> Arthur gave the Costas that school
16:07before Nina ever got in your car.
16:12And he paid off that loan to hang it on
16:14her.
16:15He couldn't get past our guys at this
16:17door.
16:19So, he needed somebody to blame before
16:20Tommy wake up.
16:24>> I'm telling the cops, boss. They shot
16:26me.
16:27>> [panting]
16:31>> Then tell them everything.
16:33And tell them where he'll be Sunday at
16:341:00.
16:38>> You want me to go get him?
16:40>> No.
16:42The families listen to Arthur.
16:44They hear it Sunday at the table in
16:46front of everybody.
16:49Ask the hospital for a secure room and
16:51an alias for Tommy.
16:53>> Hillary, heart signature, first station.
16:58>> I was wrong.
16:59Sunday, at my family's table, I stop
17:02hiding.
17:03You don't have to come. I'm asking.
17:07Gus is downstairs. If you don't want him
17:09there, wave him off.
17:22>> What's this?
17:25>> Let him up, Gus. He's bringing back my
17:26thermos.
17:32>> Name's Benny.
17:34>> [clears throat]
17:34>> Don't go tomorrow.
17:38>> Keep it. You're still coughing.
17:41And tell Mr. Marchenko I'm going.
17:45>> Mr. Marchenko is not my boss. Never was.
17:53>> Hey, that's Kanes' driver.
18:00>> I thought Luca sent him.
18:02>> Boss doesn't send kids. He sends me.
18:12For 6 years,
18:14our boss has been hiding a daughter.
18:17You all know what I've always said.
18:21A man with a child
18:23is a man on a leash.
18:29>> [clears throat]
18:30>> I have one.
18:31Her name is Sofia.
18:33And somebody handed that child's school
18:36to the Costas.
18:38Luca told that nurse where his daughter
18:40goes to school.
18:41The Costas paid off her loan on Tuesday.
18:44She's the traitor.
18:46And I have a witness.
18:53Before anybody says a word,
18:56Thursday,
18:57I asked for the same thing,
18:59and I was wrong.
19:01Everybody in this city reads my face.
19:04She's the only one who ever read my
19:05hands.
19:14Whatever happens at this table,
19:16I'm standing right here.
19:18>> Over the professor?
19:20>> Yes.
19:22>> Sit down, Luca.
19:24Let me.
19:32>> [snorts]
19:33>> Paid in full.
19:34Twice.
19:35Once by him, once by somebody who wanted
19:37everybody at this table to see it.
19:40I sent them both back.
19:42Benny,
19:44you stood outside my window three nights
19:46running.
19:47You've still got my thermos.
19:49Tell them what you saw.
20:00>> Mr. Cain told me nobody would go near
20:02that little girl.
20:04He had me drive him up to Evanston to
20:05look at her school.
20:08I drove the money for the nurse's loan
20:09to Kostas guy myself.
20:13And he told me to stand up here and say
20:15I saw this lady with Kostas people.
20:19I never did.
20:24What I saw was her carrying soup across
20:26the street to the guy who was spying on
20:28her.
20:30>> [cough and clears throat]
20:32>> I'll drive you anywhere, Mr. Cain.
20:35I won't help you hurt a kid.
20:37And I won't lie about her.
20:42>> The boy's been sick all week.
20:44He doesn't know what he's saying.
20:48>> You told me you signed Tommy's forms,
20:50Arthur.
20:52He signed them himself.
20:56You pulled in at 4:40 to find out if he
20:58could still talk.
21:00He can.
21:06The night before they shot him,
21:08he heard you give Joe Costa that school.
21:11A whole day
21:13before she ever sat in my car.
21:17The kid heard me
21:19handle it.
21:21So, they shot Tommy at a red light.
21:25Same as my daughter.
21:32>> [snorts]
21:36>> Oldest rule there is.
21:39You don't touch the kids. Every family
21:41at this table looks after that little
21:43girl now.
21:45Joe Costa hears it from me tonight.
21:47Cops.
21:52>> I'm not doing to you what you do to me.
21:54That's what changed.
22:05>> Careful whose car you get into, Arthur.
22:14>> I put you in Sofia's seat.
22:17And then I looked at you like you were a
22:18Costa.
22:23>> And I was mad at you all week over a guy
22:25you never even sent.
22:28We're both bad at this.
22:32I'm not something you park somewhere
22:34safe, Luca.
22:36I've got a job, a mother, and a loan
22:39with my name on it. I'm keeping all
22:41three.
22:44>> Then I'll keep asking.
22:45You'll get sick of it.
22:48>> Then ask her.
22:52Sofia,
22:53you've been walking past her for 6
22:54years.
22:59>> Sofia. her.
23:05>> Her mother just called back. Sophie has
23:07been asking about the black car across
23:08the street every birthday since she was
23:108.
23:11>> [sighs]
23:15>> Will you come with me?
23:17>> Front seat.
23:25>> It's not even her birthday.
23:28>> Good.
23:29You've sat through enough of those.
23:32I said I'd sit right here. I'm sitting
23:34right here.
23:35Faces lie, hands don't. You want this.
23:40>> [sighs]
23:50>> You're the black car.
23:54>> I'm the black car.
24:04>> Please, just drive me home. I've been on
24:06my feet for 20 hours.
24:09>> Sophie says you're coming to her game
24:11Saturday. That's not a question. She's
24:13like you.
24:18You know, you could sit in the back now.
24:21>> I get carsick.
24:23>> I know.
24:29That seat was hers.
24:31I'd like it to be yours, too.
24:35At least till she's old enough to fight
24:36you for it.
24:40I'm asking.
24:44>> [laughter]
24:46[snorts]
24:52>> Hours drive.
24:5928 29, 30. Shock him.
25:03>> We've got a rhythm.
25:07>> Thank you.
25:15>> Somebody else take bed four.
25:18>> You just brought him back.
25:19>> Somebody else.
25:24>> Have we
25:25met?
25:27>> Reassign me, please.
25:31>> Three nurses called out sick. He's yours
25:33till 7:00.
25:36>> Kowalski's never turned down a patient?
25:43>> I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
25:45>> Don't touch me.
25:47Six years ago, a man collapsed on the
25:49Lake Street platform.
25:51He lay there 4 minutes.
25:5332 people walked around him.
25:56I've watched that video so many times. I
25:57know every face.
25:59You were number 17.
26:01Brown coat.
26:06He was my father.
26:08>> Kowalski, my office. Now.
26:17Reputed crime boss Luca Marcelli and her
26:19fiance, an emergency nurse at Lakeview
26:21General.
26:23That's you.
26:24>> I've read it.
26:28>> A nurse who picks her patients.
26:30And the papers say she picks mob bosses,
26:32too.
26:38Tonight, you brought a man back, and in
26:40the same breath, you asked to be taken
26:42off him.
26:43Then you stood at his bed and told him
26:45he was number 17.
26:47>> I said it.
26:48Every word was true.
26:50>> That's the problem.
26:55One complaint from Mr. Prudy
26:57and it runs right next to this.
27:00The board picks a new chief medical
27:02officer next month.
27:05My name's on the list.
27:07I'm not having the mob nurse in the news
27:09that week.
27:14I've already called the nursing
27:15supervisor.
27:19You're off patient care until the review
27:20on Friday.
27:22You finish this shift on the desk.
27:25Your next shift, you're on the nurse
27:26advice line.
27:28>> The phones?
27:32>> You wanted somebody else on bed four,
27:33you got it.
27:42After the cath, he goes up to CCU.
27:45You stay off that floor
27:47and you don't go near Mr. Prudy.
27:58>> Your hands.
28:00>> One of the 32.
28:02He coded on me last night. I brought him
28:04back.
28:07>> Give me his name.
28:09>> He's my patient. That's all he gets to
28:10be.
28:13Was.
28:15Dr. Ward took me off patients till
28:16Friday. There's a review. I can't go
28:19near him.
28:22>> May I talk to this Ward?
28:25>> No.
28:26>> May I get you a lawyer?
28:30>> Kowalski's pay their own way.
28:33>> I know.
28:34I had to ask.
28:38>> 20 says she's in that man's room before
28:39Friday.
28:41>> She's not allowed in that room.
28:43>> That's why it's 20.
28:48>> PRC you eat then you sleep. 3 months to
28:52the wedding and you look like a ghost.
28:55>> Mom, you just worked all night.
28:57>> So did you. Sit.
29:00>> One of them came in last night. 17,
29:03brown coat.
29:10>> Did you take care of him?
29:12>> I brought him back.
29:14Then I asked for somebody else.
29:21>> Your father would have wanted to see his
29:23face.
29:25>> Dad got two more years.
29:27Every minute nobody helped him cost him
29:28heart muscle.
29:3432 people walked away from him.
29:37I don't need to see one of them again.
29:48>> You have referred time, circulation
29:50someone arm.
29:51>> Chest pain and it's going down your left
29:53arm?
29:55Ma'am, hang up and call 911 right now.
29:57Don't drive yourself.
30:1112, is he okay?
30:14>> Vitals are
30:15>> He's been sleepy since the cath. It's
30:16the meds. Nines crashing and we're short
30:19again.
30:20When was he last normal?
30:22>> 140, he asked me for juice.
30:32>> I don't walk past.
30:38Mr. Pruitt,

30:42Smile for me.

30:59Right-sided weakness, slurred speech,
31:00last known well 140. He had a cath
31:02yesterday. He's still on a heparin drip.
31:05Then no TPE. CT and CTA. If it's a big
31:08clot, straight to IR. Go.
31:12>> Just a minute.
31:18>> Squeeze.
31:20Good. Again?
31:30>> CCU 12 post-cath stroke overnight. The
31:32stroke page came to me. I came in and
31:34took him down to IR myself.
31:37Vessel open at 3:20. He's moving his
31:39right hand this morning.
31:41>> Good catch, Philip.
31:43That's why your name's on the list.
31:46>> Thank you.
31:50One more thing.
31:51A nurse under review walked into that
31:53patient's room last night against a
31:55direct order.
31:56That goes into Friday's review.
32:00>> Nurse Kowalski, Friday 9:00 a.m.
32:04>> Yes, ma'am.
32:05>> [snorts]
32:11>> The page came to you because I called
32:13it.
32:18>> Then say so on Friday
32:20and explain what you were doing in his
32:21room.
32:27>> I went in.
32:32He took credit for the save and he's
32:34writing me up for it.
32:38>> Did you tell them it was you?
32:42>> I broke the order. I answer for that
32:44first.
32:45>> May I
32:46>> No.
32:50>> I was going to say may I drive you to
32:51the review.
32:55>> Yes.
33:00Nobody's called for you, Mr. Pruder.
33:01Anyone we should call?
33:03>> Nobody to call.
33:06The nurse with the shaking hands, where?
33:11>> Kowalski?
33:12She's not allowed on this floor.
33:14Friday she answers for walking into your
33:16room last night.
33:19>> She saved.
33:22>> Dr. Ward says he did.
33:25>> Friday, what time?
33:28>> 9:00.
33:29>> Today's?
33:30>> Thursday, the 12th.
33:33>> Saturday's the 14th.
33:39>> You want to tell them yourself?
33:46Dr. Ward?
33:48>> Three things, all on the record.
33:51Wednesday, she asked to be taken off a
33:53patient she just resuscitated.
33:56At his bedside, she told him he was
33:58number 17.
34:00And that night, she walked into his room
34:03against a direct order.
34:07>> Nurse Kowalski,
34:09did you go into that room?
34:11>> Mhm.
34:12Yes.
34:14Pull the stroke alert log. It keeps the
34:16time, the phone, and the name of whoever
34:18called it.
34:26Stroke alert, 2:07 a.m., CCU 12 bedside
34:31phone, called in by Nina Kowalski, RN.
34:34Attending paged at 2:09.
34:36Dr. Ward.
34:40>> I called CCU from home and told them to
34:42page stroke. She just happened to be in
34:44the room.
34:48>> Neurology gave him 10 minutes.
34:50>> She was
34:52at the glass alone.
34:54Her hands
34:56shaking.
34:57Then she came in.
35:00She came back.
35:03>> He had a stroke yesterday.
35:05He doesn't know what he saw.
35:08>> Then pull the CEU phone log.
35:14No outside calls to CEU between 1:40 and
35:172:07. The first one came from yourself,
35:19Philip. 2:14.
35:225 minutes after the page.
35:28Walking into a room to call a stroke
35:30alert isn't insubordination.
35:32It's the job.
35:34Good catch, Nurse Kowalski.
35:36You're back on the floor tomorrow night.
35:43Dr. Ward,
35:45until the board reviews this, you don't
35:47go near a patient.
35:48And the vote waits.
35:53>> You were right, Doctor.
35:55I do pick my patients.
35:57I picked him at 2:07.
36:03>> Kowalski?
36:04Henry Kowalski's girl.
36:10>> How do you know his name?
36:13>> [snorts]
36:16>> You read the papers. Everybody read the
36:18papers.
36:25>> Right. Who is he?
36:28>> He knew your father's name?
36:30>> It was in the papers.
36:32>> A man who walked past your father had
36:35himself wheeled into that room a day
36:37after a stroke
36:39for you.
36:41>> Guilt.
36:43>> May I see the video?
36:49>> [snorts]
36:52>> Dad goes down here. 6:12 and 11 seconds.
36:551 2 3
36:5717 brown coat. He looks right at him. He
37:01keeps walking.
37:02>> Play it again.
37:03Don't watch his face.
37:06>> That's my line.
37:08>> You taught me.
37:09Watch his hand.
37:14Nine.
37:16One.
37:17One.
37:17>> No.
37:18He walked. I've watched him walk a
37:20thousand times.
37:21>> You've watched his face a thousand
37:23times.
37:24>> Everybody's on a phone.
37:27>> Then find out who called.
37:33>> Mom.
37:35Do you still have the call?
37:38I came from the cemetery. March 14th,
37:42your father called it his second
37:43birthday.
37:46After his surgery, your father asked the
37:48city for the 911 call.
37:51He wanted to thank whoever made it.
37:55They sent the recording.
37:57No name.
37:59He played it every March.
38:02You never wanted to hear it.
38:05>> I didn't want to hear those 4 minutes.
38:08He never watched your video.
38:11He said he didn't care who walked away.
38:14Only who called.
38:19>> Our records show one call for this
38:21incident.
38:22One.
38:26>> A man fell.
38:27Lake Street, the platform. He's gray.
38:30He's not breathing right. I don't know
38:31CPR.
38:33I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Please hurry.
38:36>> [screaming]
38:37>> Sir, can you stay with him?
38:40Sir?
38:42>> 6:12 and 51, 40 seconds after Dad went
38:45down.
38:50The ambulance got there in 4 minutes
38:52because he called at 40 seconds.
38:54>> Your father used to say
38:57he didn't walk past me, Dorcas.
38:59He just didn't know how to stay.
39:03>> All this time I hated him.
39:06And Dad was trying to thank him.
39:11>> Brown coat.
39:13There was a man in a brown coat at your
39:14father's funeral.
39:16Back row.
39:17He left before the end.
39:20And every March 14th, red carnations on
39:23his grave.
39:25I always thought it was the bus union.
39:28This morning, for the first time, there
39:30weren't any.
39:33>> Because he's in my hospital.
39:36>> I want to see him.
39:38>> Let me go first.
39:42>> [sighs]
39:43>> CC, you're short again. I need a float.
39:46A float? Give me 12.
39:49>> You sure?
39:50>> I'm sure.
40:01You called.
40:03>> Calling isn't helping.
40:06I was late for my shift.
40:08They'd written me up twice.
40:11I didn't know what to do with my hands.
40:14So, I called.
40:17and I kept walking.
40:20That's what's on your video.
40:22That's what I am.
40:25The papers called us the 32. I'm one of
40:28the 32.
40:32I read your father was looking for
40:34whoever called.
40:36I didn't think the man who kept walking
40:38deserved a thank you.
40:40>> The carnations.
40:42>> Every year
40:43on that day
40:45this year I was in here.
40:48>> Have we met? You asked me that.
40:51>> Your father's funeral.
40:53You spoke.
40:56I stood in the back. I couldn't
40:59I couldn't walk up to your mother.
41:01>> And when I said 17, you didn't deny it.
41:05>> You were right.
41:07I was number 17.
41:13Your father
41:14What what was he like?
41:19>> Stubborn.
41:22Fixed buses for the city for 30 years.
41:26He could look at a driver's hands and
41:27tell you who'd slept and who hadn't.
41:34I stared at your face for 6 years. I
41:36never once looked at your hands.
41:40That first night
41:42don't touch me.
41:44I'm sorry.
41:45I judge people too fast. I always have.
41:48>> You had every right.
41:52>> My mother wants to meet you.
41:54>> No.
41:56No.
41:57She shouldn't have to look at me.
41:59>> That's not your call.
42:01Not this time.
42:07>> Mrs. Kowalski
42:09I'm Earl. Earl Pruitt. I I I walked past
42:13your husband.
42:16>> He played your voice every March.
42:19Two years.
42:21He wanted to shake this hand.
42:23You gave me two more years with him.
42:28He saw Nina get her ER badge.
42:30He danced with me at our 35th
42:32anniversary.
42:34>> I walked past him. I walked
42:36>> You called.
42:38Then you came back.
42:40Every March.
42:4131 walked past and never looked back.
42:46Henrik always said, "Faces lie. Hands
42:48don't."
42:54>> I [snorts] didn't know how to stay. I
42:56didn't
42:57I didn't know how.
43:02>> [snorts]
43:03>> So, learn.
43:04My daughter teaches Saturdays.

43:15things.
