Transcript
00:00We can't both shower at the same time, Leah.
00:20One of us would block the stream of water for the other.
00:22Oh, Sean, this is not for the purpose of cleanliness.
00:25This is for the purpose of having sex with you.
00:29Oh.
00:31No, no, it would be inconvenient.
00:34Possibly dangerous.
00:35Soap might get into difficult places
00:38if we leaned against the shower handle.
00:39We could scald ourselves.
00:40Bottles could be disarranged.
00:43It was just a thought.
00:45It was a bad thought.
00:47I'm surprised you're such an intelligent person.
00:51I'll reset your line.
00:53It's a three-day weekend and a full moon.
01:00People are going to do stupid things.
01:01I'm asking everyone to take an extra trauma call in the ER.
01:04Make yourselves available if you're needed.
01:06Questions?
01:09How'd you get the bruise?
01:10First casualty of the full moon.
01:12I smacked my head on the cupboard door
01:13when I was reaching for my coffee mug.
01:15Any other questions?
01:16Why is there a Subaru in your parking space?
01:19Because it's my car.
01:20You have a car?
01:21You're going to be seeing a lot of it.
01:22I sold the Ducati.
01:23What? No.
01:24It just wasn't practical.
01:26Is it already gone?
01:26Because...
01:27Guy from Craigslist snatched it up.
01:29Any other questions?
01:31Not dealing with the bike.
01:35It wasn't that much of a bruise.
01:37But the doctor at the ski resort
01:39told us I might develop a hematoma.
01:41It's not unusual, but it will need to be drained.
01:44I see you were treated for melanoma six years ago
01:47and more recently breast cancer.
01:50Hence the ski trip.
01:51A celebration.
01:53One year cancer-free.
01:55Also five years cancer-free.
01:58I don't suppose a long needle will be involved in this?
02:02Your hematoma extends pretty deep,
02:04so the needle will have to be long.
02:06But it's over quickly.
02:07Sorry, I have to intervene before this deal goes south.
02:09You don't mind if I step out?
02:13Would you like us to wait for your husband to come back?
02:16No.
02:18Let's go ahead.
02:22How do you get frostbite in San Jose?
02:24Cryotherapy accident.
02:26I stayed in the booth a little too long.
02:28I was going to stand outside for the full three minutes,
02:30but he said...
02:30I said no need.
02:31I'd set the stopwatch on my phone,
02:33after which my thoughts immediately drifted and...
02:36I came back to find him frozen and carbonized.
02:39You know, I'm more worried about the fever.
02:41Was the cryotherapy meant to treat something?
02:43No, routine self-care.
02:44We've made life extension part of our health regime.
02:47Supplements, meditation, exercise.
02:49Three of my gaming apps have gone viral.
02:51I'm lucky enough to afford basically whatever I want.
02:54I spend it on my health.
02:57I figure fever must be an infection.
03:00I know that frostbite can make you vulnerable.
03:03It just, it didn't seem severe enough.
03:08I'm sorry, I feel a little queasy here.
03:11Wait.
03:17I need a medical transport team stat.
03:24Perforated bowel.
03:24He needs immediate surgery.
03:36No, no.
03:37Why do people hate wind farms?
03:38Everyone thinks they're noisy.
03:40This could make a turbine sound as quiet as a page turning in a library.
03:43That's not worth our investing in.
03:45Did you even look?
03:46Hold on.
03:47Anything I need to know?
03:48Hematoma's drained.
03:49We're sending a sample to pathology.
03:51Routine should have it back sometime tomorrow.
03:55I couldn't help overhearing a little.
03:58Are you a venture capitalist?
04:00The only people who ask me if I'm a VC are people who want a VC to invest in their project.
04:07Maybe after we get your wife healthy again, we could talk.
04:11Whenever you're ready, my life is listening to ideas.
04:14If it's good, I'll run it by my two partners.
04:15If it's really good, we'll take a 30% equity position in your company.
04:27I think I've been asked out on a date.
04:31Nice.
04:32I work with him.
04:33Hasn't stopped you before?
04:34I supervise him.
04:35Schedules can be changed.
04:36He's polyamorous.
04:39Unless he also texted you a ring.
04:40It's just a date and you need to get out more.
04:44So do I.
04:46You want to take down the splenicolic ligament?
04:54Just don't nick the inferior mesenteric artery.
04:57I feel the IMA under my finger.
05:01Placing the stapler and cutting.
05:06I voted approve.
05:10Disapprove.
05:12No opinion.
05:13There's a poll?
05:14Yes, about shower sex.
05:17I know it's wrong to discuss shower sex at work, so I did a poll instead.
05:21Much better.
05:22Dr. Murphy, do you really want people knowing the details of your personal life?
05:27You don't think they took it as an abstract question?
05:30No, we all take it as something that happened between you and Leah.
05:33And that there was a fight.
05:34Sometime before 8am today, which was when the poll was sent out.
05:39You are very astute.
05:41I'm seeing diffused dilation of the large bowel here.
05:44Is that normal?
05:46Some calcified lesions.
05:50The wall's thin, too.
05:52Hirschsprung's?
05:52I thought Hirschsprung's was a disease only babies and young children got.
05:56It is.
05:58But he has it.
06:07We treated the Hirschsprung's by removing the dilated part of your colon.
06:11It won't impact her life, but we would like an explanation.
06:14Dr. Murphy doesn't mean we expect you to be a diagnostician.
06:17It's just, this was kind of singular.
06:20So if you have any thoughts, did anyone in your family suddenly develop these symptoms?
06:29I did something singular to myself about six months ago.
06:34I modified my genetic code.
06:36I did a CRISPR procedure under the guidance of some researchers I know in China.
06:40Through my work, they put together a series of cocktails.
06:42They FedExed them to me, and Sophie helped me inject them into my bone marrow.
06:48Why?
06:49If you know anything about CRISPR, you know how risky it is to tinker with your genome.
06:53You have no idea what problems you might let loose.
06:55But I needed to optimize my telomerase activity.
06:58It's the enzyme responsible for correcting cell replication errors,
07:01essentially the cause of aging.
07:02You can't stop aging through changing your telomerase activity.
07:05You might extend your life a little, but exercise, it does the same thing.
07:10Much less risky.
07:12Your decision makes no sense.
07:13Extending my life by a few years is only my short-term goal.
07:17Look, you know how fast medicine is moving.
07:19The day isn't that far away when cloning will make transplants
07:22as easy as switching out a light socket.
07:24AI will start to make breakthroughs that we can't predict or understand.
07:27Medical knowledge will rise exponentially.
07:30There are babies born now who could live to see it.
07:33Could live to be a thousand years old.
07:35Maybe more, maybe forever.
07:37Or at least as long as they want to.
07:39So our plan is to give my CRISPR a year to make sure the telomerase change works,
07:44and then we'll do her.
07:48We'll aspirate a sample of your bone marrow.
07:50See if we can figure out what the hell you did.
08:00Hey, um, I don't think coffee's a good idea.
08:05Entire civilizations rely on it,
08:07but I don't think you're referring to the beverage itself.
08:09I don't think it's a good idea for first years and fourth years to go out.
08:12I'm bound to supervise you at some point in the future,
08:15and it'll get complicated trying to change dates out.
08:18And the fact is,
08:21seeing somebody you work with rarely ends happily,
08:24so I appreciate you thinking of me.
08:26I thought it was a date.
08:29I'm still new here,
08:31but I thought it was a good opportunity to get to know each other.
08:34Well, coffee's perfect because you're asking the least amount of commitment from another human being.
08:39It's not even lunch.
08:42If it's still a no, it's still a no.
08:44But I'll let you rethink your answer.
08:59He only claimed it wasn't a date to save face.
09:02Or maybe I just assumed.
09:05But why did I assume?
09:06I don't think I'm some kind of narcissist who thinks every man wants to get close to me.
09:11Or we both assumed it's a date because it's a date.
09:15This is fun.
09:16I like being your bestie.
09:17Slumber party?
09:24I made a poll to test the popularity of shower sex.
09:27I heard.
09:28I feel like I have some questions about that.
09:31Approved has one,
09:33but don't get too excited, Leah.
09:35It's only 58.38 with several complicated non-committals.
09:40So clearly my attitude is reasonable.
09:42We don't have room for a skier exercise thing.
09:47I'm only putting it together so I can take a picture and sell it online.
09:51Why do you have it if you don't want it?
09:53My ex sent it.
10:03Ex?
10:05Husband.
10:08I left this thing in the attic until I got settled somewhere with enough space.
10:12And okay, that was 10 years ago, but it's not like it was in his way.
10:19We got married.
10:21Not for long.
10:22Right out of high school.
10:24Literally the boy next door.
10:25We grew up together.
10:26People expected it.
10:27It was a big mistake.
10:31We both realized it pretty quickly.
10:37Why would you even want to live forever?
10:40You'd be bored out of your mind.
10:42The person I am now is miles away from the person I was at 14.
10:48I only get more distant every year.
10:51You learn to understand and love books that you once hated.
10:59Sometimes people you once hated.
11:02Music that you didn't get the point of becomes magical.
11:06A thousand new doors will open.
11:08I look forward to the adventure.
11:12Sorry, adventure's not always going to be fun.
11:15I figure it takes 40 or 50 years just to get over the things your parents did.
11:21If only we lived long enough, the human race might finally have a chance to grow up.
11:33What size shoes do you wear?
11:36Seven and a half.
11:38Dr. Allen's walking on clouds inserts.
11:40Putting Dr. in names always good marketing advice.
11:43Putting Dr. in names always good marketing strategy.
11:45They're designed to reduce inflammation that can lead to plantar fasciitis,
11:50calluses, arthritis, and they feel damn good.
11:53Does this have anything to do with our patient's venture capitalist husband?
11:56I need testimonials.
11:57Labs and path for Hannah Palmer.
12:02Aren't we all busy enough learning how to be surgeons?
12:05Do you really want to divide your focus onto something trivial?
12:13Because wanting to make money taints the purity of medicine?
12:18I have five brothers.
12:19I've been taking care of people my whole life.
12:22Someone got hurt, it came to me to patch them up.
12:25I became a doctor so I could get paid for it.
12:29But also because I'm good at taking care of people.
12:32It's possible to do something for more than one reason.
12:44The news is bad.
12:56There's an abnormally healthy population of hematopoietic progenitor stem cells.
13:03He did it?
13:04It's significant.
13:05He's succeeded in optimizing enough telomerase activity
13:08to potentially add 10 years to his natural life.
13:11Well, assuming he doesn't subtract about 50,
13:13there's already an autoimmune reaction that mimics Hirschsprung's.
13:16Who knows what else he did?
13:17What if this is the opposite of an autoimmune condition?
13:20What if he's done something that lowers his resistance to infection?
13:23Then we'd be seeing more opportunistic infections of the lungs and skin.
13:27If you lived another thousand years,
13:28would you be with the same person at the end as at the beginning?
13:32No.
13:35No, if you assume monogamy.
13:36I mean, that puts too much strain on a relationship.
13:38Is one person supposed to be everything to another all the time for a thousand years?
13:42Apparently Jesus agrees on monogamy.
13:46He said that in heaven there'll be no more marriages.
13:48I guess humans can't sustain a relationship that long.
13:52You read the New Testament too?
13:53And the Quran and other things.
13:56It's like you're a stalker.
13:57It's like you and God had an acrimonious divorce.
14:00What if he caused neurofibromatosis?
14:03Microscopic tumors forming on the nerve sheath?
14:06Impossible.
14:06But there'd have been some evidence of Schwann cell growth around his colon.
14:09Would you still love your wife in a thousand years?
14:14You have three answers.
14:15That should be enough.
14:16Hark's marriage failed in far less time.
14:18And Enrique doesn't even try.
14:20Asher is a unknown quantity.
14:23You're committed.
14:25You've made promises.
14:29I've made promises based on an understood human lifespan, Murphy.
14:34Most likely diagnosis is autoimmune polyneuropathy.
14:37It damaged the entroganglion nerve and led to the perforation.
14:40Stardom on steroids and immunosuppressants.
14:42Dr. Andrews, so you wouldn't have gotten married if you thought it would be forever.
14:48You expect all relationships to fail over time.
14:50It's just a question of how long.
14:54I love her now.
14:56I intend to love her as long as I live.
15:00But eventually, everything breaks.
15:14I always go back to comfort reading when I'm in the hospital.
15:16Cozy mysteries in little English villages where nothing bad happens to anyone we like.
15:22We've gotten your results back.
15:24When will your husband be-
15:25Is it cancer?
15:26Yes.
15:30Thyroid carcinoma.
15:32We're going to do a complete imaging series to pinpoint just how advanced-
15:36Treatment?
15:38Surgery.
15:39To remove some or all of your thyroid is usually the first line of defense.
15:43Sometimes we can wait, but given the hematoma was probably caused by the tumor invading nearby
15:48vasculatures, we should probably do it in the next few days.
15:52Later, they'll be radioactive iodine treatment.
15:54Panic attack?
16:04Her trachea's deviated to the right, the tumor's compressing it, we're doing surgery now!
16:22What happened? The nurse just said surgery. Was it the hematoma?
16:28It's more serious.
16:32It's not cancer, again.
16:36Thyroid carcinoma.
16:38We've removed her thyroid, she's doing well.
16:41We're looking into potential causes.
16:43Genetic, environmental, there may be a deeper issue that we can find and address.
16:52I can't do this.
16:56You've done it before.
16:59You'll do it this time.
17:06You know what it's like to wake up every morning and know your wife might not be here next year?
17:13All those years.
17:15To wake up every morning and know your wife might not be here next year.
17:20All those treatments, they all have this little tag attached to them that says because she might die.
17:30When you see them put those gloves on before they hook up the chemo, you know why they do that?
17:38It's because it's poison.
17:39You sit there, and you watch them shove poison into the person you love, and why?
17:50Because she might die.
17:54We're killing her because she might die.
18:02Go for a run. Go punch a wall.
18:06You know what it's like to wake up every morning and know your wife might not be here next year?
18:09You need to release some endorphins.
18:10My release is my job.
18:12That's why I love it.
18:14My work requires total focus, and every minute I'm working is a minute I'm not thinking about losing her.
18:28I have to go.
18:29Your pain and weakness are consistent with polyneuropathy, treatable with steroids and immunosuppressants.
18:41If you live a thousand years, will you still love Sophie?
18:47Yes.
18:48How can you be sure? People change. You expect to change.
18:53Sophie and I will change together.
18:56We'll go through the same adventures and learn the same lessons.
18:58What if you go through the same adventures and learn different lessons?
19:02Even if we did, whoever, whatever we become, Sophie will always be beautiful.
19:07I mean, she could turn into a machine or a set of pixels or a giant purple flower.
19:11She'll still be beautiful because it's part of her essential nature.
19:19But if you don't know how you'll change, you don't know how you'll change.
19:23Sean, we'll let you get some rest. The steroids should make you feel a lot better.
19:36Why didn't you ever mention you had an ex-husband?
19:40Sean, I've barely thought about him in years. I didn't mention him because he's not important.
19:48I know that's the problem. At one time, you felt he was important enough to your life
19:53to marry him, and now you barely think of him. You make long-term plans.
20:00You have expectations, and then something happens to you, and suddenly you're a different person.
20:07I know you don't like change, but it's not all bad.
20:12After all, you are working to change yourself all the time.
20:16I'm working to be a better surgeon, a better boyfriend, better at the things I've chosen.
20:24But this other change, it's unpredictable. You don't choose it. It just comes at you.
20:32It's like hurricanes before 1873 when the Army Signal Corps first put up flags to warn people
20:36storms were coming. Before that, houses were flattened, lives destroyed, and there was no
20:40way to see it was heading for you.
20:43Sean, our relationship will not end in natural disaster.
20:50It did begin in one.
20:54I'm going to look in on my patient.
21:06Blood and saliva will tell us if there is a genetic cause, and the samples we take from
21:11your house will tell us if there's something environmental.
21:15I know it's stupid. I've almost felt guilty for my cancer, like I arbitrarily
21:23decided to be sick and burdensome.
21:28Do the people you're close to ever act like you're a burden to them?
21:32You mean Alan?
21:36He's scared. He takes the exit he's got and he turns to his work. You're okay with that?
21:52I accept this compromise. That's not the hard part. The hard part is
21:56not knowing. Each new thing that happens, I worry, is this it? Is this where I lose him?
22:08Is this where he breaks?
22:17So this is boiled coffee.
22:20Some people call it Turkish coffee, or Greek coffee, or Egyptian coffee, because we need
22:25to take ownership and put things in categories. Yeah. So you actually live in this thing?
22:31In the hospital parking garage? Why not? Convenient for work,
22:35when I want to spend a few days off the beaten track. Convenient for that too.
22:40Ooh, I might get three sips in this. But three really great sips.
22:46That's how I try to live my life. Try to appreciate, savor, not pass by.
22:56Is that what the polyamory is about?
22:59Does it really work, or is it one of those theories about life that people regret later?
23:04No regrets so far. No, I guess not. Not while you're young and having fun.
23:10It is fun, but not for the reasons that you're thinking. It isn't about sex.
23:15It's about commitment. Emotional connection. The joy I'm sure you get out of a relationship,
23:20I get a little more. Also, I have to give a little more. But that's meaningful too.
23:26Do you mind if I ask you something, since we're getting personal?
23:36Sure. What's your favorite misheard song lyric?
23:49This is nice.
23:50I'm glad it's not a date. Me too. I don't believe in those categories.
24:02He reported widespread bilateral pain, then he keeled over. BP dropped to 80 over pound.
24:06I'll order a vasopressor. Already did.
24:08Good. We need an EKG, CBC, and chest images, and a new diagnosis.
24:13Whatever he calls with CRISPR, it's not just neuropathy. Something else is killing him.
24:20What if he's caused something that mimics carcinomatous autonomic neuropathy?
24:29Explains the BP and bowel issue.
24:32That doesn't explain the sensory issue that led to the frostbite.
24:38A connective tissue disorder?
24:40That would have shown up on the scans. His chest looks normal.
24:43Maybe we can't think of the answer because there is no answer.
24:46We keep trying to jam it into these categories we know, the diseases that we know.
24:49But this never existed before.
24:52He created a new combination of genetic code that means a new combination of symptoms.
24:56So we shouldn't be looking at what fits the picture, but at what's closest to the picture,
25:00so we can at least figure out a treatment.
25:02And what it's closest to is amyloidosis. This isn't an autoimmune neuropathy.
25:08So the nerves must be under attack by something else.
25:10Something like amyloid disease could leave deposits along the nerves,
25:13causing the symptoms we've seen.
25:15Where do we look for those deposits?
25:18Explain.
25:26Drink all eight ounces.
25:28We talked. We had a few laughs.
25:30That sounds date-y to me.
25:33I don't think Enrique's a bad guy.
25:35Sounds date-y to me.
25:37I don't think Enrique's a player.
25:39He's kind of the opposite of a player. With him, emotional connection is the point.
25:43He's trying to live some idealistic fantasy where everyone is nice and no one is jealous.
25:47I am so staying away.
25:49Well, of course. Once I heard emotional connection, I knew the game was over.
25:53What does that mean? I'm against emotion?
25:56I'm not the one with cold-hearted bitches, my social media hashtag.
26:00She's an excellent doctor.
26:01Every time you've loved somebody, it's ended in disappointment or death.
26:04Sometimes both.
26:05It's like a reflex now.
26:07You just expect that everything ends badly, so why start?
26:10So despite the many practical reasons not to go out with the first year, this is all about me.
26:16Is that a diamond ring?
26:19It's pretty.
26:20Impatient caught her fiancé cheating.
26:22Big fight. He demanded the ring back.
26:24She swallowed it.
26:25I did.
26:26You don't even know if this is going out, and that's the point.
26:29It doesn't matter what Enrique's offering,
26:31whether it's friendship or romance, you're not investing.
26:34You're risk-averse.
26:35Your portfolio right now is entirely in T-bills and money market.
26:38I have no idea what that means.
26:39And it's too bad, because a guy that can make you laugh might be just what you need right now.
26:44It's regressed your large intestine.
26:45Here's a plastic bag. Put it over the toilet seat.
26:48You'll have every opportunity to recover your property.
26:54Don't run away from a chance at love.
26:58It's a date.
27:01Maybe. I don't know.
27:04Her house is full of TCE.
27:07Side effect from chip-making back in Silicon Valley's early days.
27:10So they move away from their toxic home, and hopefully things get a little better.
27:13Probably not much.
27:14She also has a genetic predisposition.
27:16It's both.
27:18She shouldn't go outside in a rainstorm.
27:22How do you tell a woman that her third cancer likely won't be close to her last?
27:28Unfortunately, this is a teaching moment.
27:34Dr. Allen, after 12 hours on duty, I can report that your inserts came through.
27:40Check your email. You'll find my testimonial.
27:43Claire, Olivia.
27:52And if you're right, what will you do?
27:55We'll treat the symptoms with targeted drug therapies.
27:58There really isn't a disease as such that we can address.
28:04The pain shifted?
28:09Yeah.
28:11Never mind about the ultrasound.
28:12It'll be easier to check for deposits after the organ's been removed.
28:15After it's...
28:16Yeah, his spleen's about to rupture.
28:17Call the transport team.
28:30It's called Li-Fraumeni syndrome, LFS.
28:33An inherited predisposition to developing a wide range of cancers.
28:37Yes, there was a toxin in your environment that likely played a role in this,
28:41but there will be other triggers in the future.
28:44Your body is super sensitive and will respond with tumors for the rest of your life.
28:56I know that's a shock, but here's what you should know.
29:00Most cancers are treatable if found early enough.
29:07We know the most common associated with LFS,
29:10and we can do surveillance,
29:12nip anything in the bud before it becomes a problem.
29:17It may not seem this way now, but this is good.
29:21We know what we're dealing with.
29:23We're warned, and we'll be ready.
29:30He won't be able to handle this.
29:38Liver, pancreas, other organs look normal.
29:42But there are calcified lesions along these nerves.
29:45He's going to be in pain like this for the rest of his life.
29:47No, there's a reasonable chance it'll get worse as time goes on.
29:52I need my sharp, blunt, curved scissors.
29:54What if we use CRISPR to reverse this?
29:56I need my sharp, blunt, curved scissors.
29:58What if we use CRISPR to reverse CRISPR?
30:02Researchers have identified a protein in certain bacteria that inhibits CRISPR.
30:07What if we insert the DNA that makes that protein into our patient's genome?
30:11That would deactivate the CRISPR gene.
30:12So CRISPR messed him up permanently, and you think we should do more of it?
30:16Our patient is a risk taker.
30:17We need a delivery mechanism.
30:19The code would have to be introduced to a virus.
30:22A virus that specifically targets nerves.
30:26Polio targets nerves.
30:28Because this isn't risky enough.
30:30Polio is such a dangerous virus because it's so good at penetrating.
30:52Dr. Murphy?
30:57She's going to be this way forever.
31:02She'll have good periods and bad periods.
31:05But she will always have to be on our guard.
31:09Is she always going to have to be on guard against you, too?
31:13What does that mean?
31:14Chronic illness puts strain on relationships.
31:17Statistically, it is more often the man who can't handle it.
31:20Our marriage is none of your business.
31:23Her health is my business.
31:24And your behavior adds to her stress.
31:29You look at her.
31:30You imagine she's gone.
31:32And that is hard.
31:33I get it.
31:36She thinks the same thing when she looks at you.
31:40I never complain to her.
31:42I know it's nobody's fault.
31:43You don't think she knows you have trouble with all this?
31:46Every time something new happens, she wonders,
31:49is this the straw that is going to break your marriage?
31:54You've got her living in a constant state of uncertainty.
31:57That is practically the definition of stress.
32:01So this is the straighten up and fly right lecture?
32:05No.
32:08I am telling you to consider how best to time your divorce.
32:17There are going to be a lot of new issues dropping on Hannah.
32:20And if you're going to end up leaving anyway,
32:22you should start planning now.
32:23I don't want to leave my wife.
32:24My best advice?
32:27Help her through this next round of treatment as best you can.
32:31And then get out.
32:34It's hard living with someone who needs so much.
32:38I know you feel there is a point where you have nothing left.
32:42But you're ready to break.
32:45Just don't break when she needs you most.
32:51Get out before that happens.
32:54Okay.
33:14Reading an article that's five years old?
33:16Dr. Glassman was once involved in an experimental attempt
33:19to treat Parkinson's with CRISPR technology.
33:22It failed.
33:23So it's both old and it didn't work.
33:25Dr. Glassman likes his failures to be informative.
33:28That's why his articles are longer.
33:30Do you worry about losing the people you love?
33:38Because we can't stop ourselves from changing,
33:41which means we might stop loving someone
33:43or they might stop loving us.
33:45It is a very bad thing.
33:48It is.
33:49So, no one can ever feel safe.
33:53How can you keep going if you never feel safe?
34:01Well, sometimes not changing is just as dangerous.
34:07So how do you know when to do what?
34:13If you find the answer to that, let me know.
34:16I have it.
34:17You do?
34:18Dr. Glassman used Ferrocell Azoster virus
34:20as the delivery mechanism, which didn't work.
34:23His first choice was herpes simplex,
34:25but the technology was not up to putting their DNA package into it.
34:29The technology has improved.
34:31It can be done.
34:37I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.
34:39I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.
34:41I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.
34:44You can't.
34:48Using conventional treatments there's nothing more we can do for you.
34:51The pain will be permanent and it could get worse.
34:56I've not been one to be limited by the conventional.
35:01We think we can reverse the CRISPR.
35:03You want to reverse what I did?
35:04My telomerase changed?
35:06They want to stop your pain.
35:07Soph, it's temporary.
35:09What is it, 40 years?
35:10That's nothing.
35:11Our real lives.
35:12They're ahead of us.
35:14Okay, look, as long as this doesn't kill me,
35:16I've made the right choice no matter how bad things get.
35:19No.
35:22I was willing to exercise for hours and fast,
35:26to give up all sugar and alcohol
35:29and do all the other things that we needed to do
35:31to get to a future that I knew might never come.
35:35Wow.
35:36But now you're asking me to watch you suffer
35:40for the rest of your life.
35:51You're the one who embraces change.
35:55So change to the person who can be happy with me
36:01here and now.
36:11Doctors, would you mind waiting outside?
36:20Why did she want us to leave?
36:23I think she's delivering an ultimatum.
36:35For the last time,
36:38are you sure about this?
36:41It seems there's always something else
36:43that I have to give up.
36:47But this isn't like sugar or cigarettes.
36:50You won't get over this in a hurry.
36:53No.
36:55Not in a thousand years.
36:59And the way we talked last night
37:07Are you gonna be okay?
37:09I'm fine.
37:10Alan's at work, but there should be a taxi waiting.
37:13I won't say goodbye, Dr. Brown,
37:16because I'll probably be seeing you again pretty soon.
37:22I sent your cab away.
37:25I'm sorry I wasn't here sooner.
37:28I had to present a proposal to my partners.
37:39I'm selling them my share of the business.
37:45Is there something else you want to do?
37:49Yes.
37:52I want to be your husband.
38:01I realized
38:03I was so afraid of losing you in the future.
38:11I'm losing you now.
38:22I love you.
38:40Sorry.
38:42I hear your VC contact decided to quit the business.
38:47He did the right thing.
38:53You know,
38:56my feet are killing me.
39:23I'm open to being friends.
39:27That's great. I'm open, too, to whoever this goes.
39:31It's going to friendship.
39:34Understood.
39:36But life is about change, which means one day you might change your mind,
39:39and if you did, I'd be open to that, too.
39:42It's not gonna happen.
39:46Okay.
39:53One.
39:56Two.
39:59Three.
40:07First, there should be no soap involved.
40:10Also, we need to stay at one end of the shower
40:12so we don't accidentally knock into the temperature control.
40:15What changed your mind?
40:18I've been thinking about change over time.
40:21I spoke with people and also graphed several possibilities for us
40:24using time as the horizontal axis and change as the vertical.
40:27I realized that the problem isn't really change.
40:30It's whether two people change in the same direction.
40:34We want to keep our coordinates close to each other for the rest of our lives.
40:40We certainly do.
40:43But people do sometimes drift apart.
40:46Yes, you need a warning when you and your partner
40:49might be starting to veer off so you can both change course a little.
40:52You don't want a surprise realization when it's too late.
40:55Surprises are awful.
40:57The U.S. Army Signal Corps used flags to warn of hurricanes.
41:00I brought us this.
41:03A cowbell?
41:05If you see us heading in different directions, you ring it.
41:09Do we really need a bell? Can't I just tell you?
41:12When you ring it, I'll pay attention.
41:15I really hate the sound.
41:18Only in emergencies.
41:21I've already moved the shampoo bottles.
41:24What?
41:27Oh.
41:30You mean now?
41:35Don't worry about putting the bottles back. I'll do it later.
41:38I love you.
41:41It's no trouble. I remember where they all go.
41:48I love you.
41:51I love you.
41:54I love you.
41:57I love you.
42:00I love you.
42:03I love you.
42:06I love you.
42:09I love you.
42:12I love you.
42:15I love you.
42:18I love you.
