I'm sorry. Have I offended you, Dr. Troy?
No, I'm just uncomfortable with all this transformation rhetoric.
It feels like you're avoiding something.
I'm avoiding helplessness.
I'm afraid my colleague played hooky during the bedside manner course in med school.
Ms. Reynolds, shall we move on to the surgery?
Based on your cardio work-up, 5 hours is the maximum time I want you under.
So I've chosen these procedures for optimum results in a limited time frame.
Are you sure you want to hear all this?
I'd say 90% of our patients prefer to remain in the dark.
This surgery is my life now. I thrive on every detail.
Ok.
We start with the fat deposits and skin over the eyelids.
We won't take out all of it since we know from the photo
you've always had slightly hooded eyes.
We'll just cut along the loose skin here.
My Prada bags, as my daughter-in-law calls them.
That leaves us about 3 hours and 15 minutes for your rhytidectomy.
Rhytidectomy sounds like a wild animal in Africa.
Not quite. It's your face lift.
After the incision, we use a tissue expander to make the skin more supple.
And then, my favorite part of the procedure,
we use blood we've taken from you earlier, and turn it into a natural glue.
I hold it in place for 3 minutes. It closes all the dead space,
and aids in natural tissue healing because it's from your own body.
Any questions?
Just one.
Are you this kind to all your patients?
You asked me if I ever hurt someone close to me in a way I deeply regret.
I'm like you.
I wanna believe in second chances.
Ms. Reynolds, before I send you off to surgery, I owe you an apology.
Because you don't like me?
I have nothing against you. You need to know that.
I'd like to make a contribution to your victims' rights organization.
Thank you.
I also feel an obligation to tell you the truth about something.
I was also a victim of the carver.
Oh, god. I had no idea.
Listening to your story was difficult for me.
It was hard for me to accept how remarkably you've dealt with your attack,
when I'm still resentful and struggling with residual issues.
I was harsh, and I'm sorry.
Are you all right?
I don't think I can talk about it.
Would you mind if we don't talk about it?
I'm sorry, I thought you said talking about it made you feel better.
It's just when I start to talk about it, I feel... really sick.
Um, I feel for your pain, you know?
But I have to take care of myself. I'm about to go into surgery here. I can't get all emotional.
Of course.
Now, about my face, I wanted to ask you something about my nose.
I've always hated it.
Do you think you could make it prettier, since I'm gonna be under anyway?
After everything you've been through, I'd say rhinoplasty is the last thing you need.
What about my lips? Could we plump them up or something?
Ms. Reynolds, I think we should discuss elective surgery at a later date.
Daddy, we do they call it "high tea"?
I don't know, sweetheart. We'll have to ask the waiter.
Good afternoon. We're from family services.
I'm Ms. James, this is Mr. Riskin. Are you Mr. McNamara?
Dr. McNamara. How can I help you?
Well, we received a call from one of our domestic violence centers
reporting an incident involving you and your son.
This isn't a good time. My daughter and I are on our way out.
When one of these reports come in, we're required by law to question other family children.
We'll need to speak with your daughter.
What's your name?
Anne Katherine McNamara.
How's your hearing? Now's not a good time.
Now's the only time, mister-- Dr. McNamara.
We need to determine whether or not action has to be taken.
Action? What are you talking about? What action?
We need to determine whether or not your daughter is at risk by staying with you,
so it would be helpful if you cooperate.
Where is a good place for your daughter and I to speak privately?
Sweetheart, you and Ms. James go into my bedroom.
It's ok.
Does your daddy ever get mad, Anne?
Does it
