Oh, please.
Hey, I'm the guy
who let Dennis bad-mouth his wife

because I was afraid of making a scene.

You knew it was wrong
and you let him have it.

That's me.
I'm never afraid to create a scene.

Hey, honey, look. My point is,

you have a strong sense of what is right
and you're not afraid to act on it.

And I admire you for that.

You know what I admire you for?

You find a way to compliment me
when you could say, "I told you so."

You just signed "I told you so,"
didn't you?

You'll never prove it.

Thanks for coming in, Mrs. Solis.
I believe you've met Nurse Hisel?

Yes. Hello. Again.

Nurse Hisel became quite attached
to your mother-in-law.

That's why I asked her
to be here for this.

First, I want you to understand that

we consider our commitment
to our patients a sacred trust.

[Sobs]

OK.

Having said that, it appears
that there may, and I stress may,

have been a breakdown
in our chain of care.

I can assure you we hold our staff to
the highest standards in the industry.

But we are only human after all.

[Wailing]

Honey, are you OK?

Nurse Hisel, why don't you step out?

- I'm so sorry.
- Uh-huh.

[She continues weeping]

We all share in your grief.

Apparently.

And we're hoping
to alleviate any further pain

your family may suffer
by offering some...

...monetary compensation.

Provided you and your husband waive any
future right to litigation, of course.

Monetary compensation?
You're trying to buy us off?

Let's not get tangled up in legalese.

We like to think of it
as an extension of our caring.

Well, in that case, care away.

[Gabrielle] Mr. Hartley, I have
a hypothetical legal question for you.

I like to play the lottery and I...

Yes, I know what the odds are
but I just love those scratch-offs.

Say I were to win, I don't know,

a million, six hundred thousand dollars.

Would the government be able to take it
like they took everything else?

That's what I thought. The bastards.

So what if we won the lottery
after Carlos went to jail?

Could the government
touch the money then? Hypothetically.

I see.

And we could keep the house.

Oh, no, I'm just at the grocery store,
wondering if I should buy a ticket.

Thanks a bunch, Mr. Hartley.

So what time should I bring Carlos
to the DA's office tomorrow?

Great.

[Mary Alice] We all honor heroes
for different reasons.

Sometimes for their daring.

Sometimes for their bravery.

Sometimes for their goodness.

I love you.

But mostly, we honor heroes

because at one point or another,

we all dream of being rescued.

Of course,

if the right hero doesn't come along,

sometimes,
we just have to rescue ourselves.
