Previously on "nip/tuck"...
I'm getting married again. he
Lives in england.
But what about our kids?
I want them to come with me.
I'm pregnant. it's sean's
Sperm.
You're gonna raise another
Child?
I have no legal rights, and
I am fine with that.
Leishmaniasis.
Why bring him to us?
I want what's best for my
Son.
You've got a shot at
The real thing with ramona.
Ava's just gonna toss you aside
The second she's done with you.
He's late.
What else is new?
I swear, if he comes through
That door with that bitch, i'm
Gonna throw them both off
The balcony.
Well, if it isn't our very own
Benjamin braddock.
Do we really need to start
Right in with all the jerk-off
Comments, christian?
You bet your ass you do.
We're the ones who had to fight
Off ramona's family to stop them
Hunting you down and treating
You like a pinata. it was like
The alamo in there.
Yeah. they were pretty
Pissed, huh?
You left her at the altar.
Humiliated her. all of them.
Yeah, i know, i know. and i'm
Gonna clear that up as soon as
Things settle down and we get
Back from brazil.
Well, ava found a doctor in rio
Who's willing to do rafael's
Surgery.
And what about jenna? you
Planning on taking your daughter
With you?
No. and that's actually why i
Came by. i wanted to ask you
Guys if she could stay with you
For a couple of weeks. i'm gonna
Be spending all my time taking
Care of rafael and ava.
Are you sure you didn't drop
Him on his head when he was
A baby?
You're not thinking clearly,
Matt.
I've never had less doubt
About anything in my life. i
Love her. i've always loved her.
She doesn't love you.
You know, stop trying to
Twist everything and diminish
Our feelings for each other.
You know, i give up. it's
Amazing how you keep finding new
And creative ways to screw up
Your life.
[sean sighs]
All right, we'll take care of
Jenna, but get me the name of
This doctor in brazil so i can
Check him out.
Thanks. i will.
Why you doing this?
I can't stop him anymore than
I can stop you. all i can do is
Try to protect my granddaughter.
Where is she?
She's sleeping.
Maybe when you get back i'll let
You see her.
Oh, well, you can't do this,
She's my daughter.
And you're abandoning her to
Lie down with that she-devil.
Now, get the hell out of here,
Or i swear to god you'll never
See her again.
Ok.

[clatter]
You know, you guys are gonna
Have to get an intern, because i
Can't be doing this all day.
Why you looking at me like that?
I think she's ready, don't
You?
Definitely.
Put this on.
It's not my birthday, so i'm
Just assuming you're taking me
In front of a firing squad.
[sean chuckles]
Surprise.
Is this a joke?
A joke would have been
Putting your name first on
The sign.
I thought it looked best
Underneath ours, like you're
Supporting us, which is what
You've always done.
Welcome to the practice,
Partner.
Yep. lawyer should be getting
You the paperwork in the next
Few days.
What about the baby?
He doesn't have to sign
Anything.
I mean, i can't ask for my
First official business as
Partner to take maternity leave.
You won't have to. i'm having
A nursery put in. you can keep
The little guy around all
The time.
You never told me that.
I know. i was thinking you
Two are the closest thing i have
To family now. and i want to
Make sure we all stick together.
Sean, thank you, i am so
Flattered. this has been a dream
For years. i mean, i don't even
Know what to say.
Yeah, we're gonna help you
With that, too.
Tell me what you don't like
About yourself, mr. yoshimura.
What's not to like? i'm
An actor. over 100 films.
I thought you looked
Familiar. what would i have seen
You in?
That would be hard to say. i
Only really work in japan.
Could you give me a couple of
Titles?
They are what you would call
Adult affair.
You mean...
Yes.
Gosh, you lucky bastard.
So what brings you to
The states?
I'm hoping to cross over.
America has the biggest market
In adult movies in the world.
Well, judging from your
Excellent skin tone, i think
A facelift, perhaps an eyelift.
We could shave 20 years off your
Appearance.
They want to make you look
Younger?
The market i'm in works
Because of my age.
How old are you?
73. for people in my
Generation, the movies i make
With the wrinkles and exuberance
Say getting old is not the end
Of life. you can still have fun.
Wouldn't you say?
[girls giggle]
How can we help?
I had a heart attack right
After my wife died 6 years ago.
I used to say i almost died from
A broken heart. truth was,
I was depressed.
You were in mourning.
No, i had nothing to do. but
Now i'm in a job where i'm
Valued. most people my age don't
Have that anymore. to stay busy,
To do what you love, it has
Given me a second chance in
Life. which is why i need to get
Rid of the scar.
You want your audience to be
Reminded of life when they look
At you on the screen and not
Death.
And this is america. old or
Young, appearances still do
Matter.
* if you want a lover,
I'll do anything
You ask me to... *
You know, i always see these
People we operate on as just
Patients. you know, how much do
You weigh, do you have any
Allergies? i never get to hear
Them tell their stories.
And?
And it's harder to judge
Them.
Uh-huh.
Are you trying to tell us
That you're wrong for judging us
After all these years?
I am saying that i have a new
Appreciation for what you do,
But it doesn't make you any less
Dickheads.
We all knew wt we were
Getting in to when we chose this
Field of medicine. and we all
Knew that some of the cases
Would be unsavory.
But worrying about why people
Come here gets in the way of
What they're coming here to have
Done.
Are you stealing meds from
The store room?
I, for one, am liking the new
Sean's attitude, by the way.
We've spent years changing
The way people look. i am
Proof-positive that people can
Change on the inside, too.
Thank you, linda.
[bells jingling]
Oh, my god. we have to have
This.
Yeah, it's pretty fantastic.
Sean, what has happened to our
Farewell lunch?
Oh, just a few more minutes.
The restaurant's right across
The street. excuse me, miss. do
You have one in the back?
Great.
Sean, i was wondering, how's
Liz with all of this? has she
Asked for a lot of help?
Why would you ask that? what
New mother wouldn't want help?
I just wondered if you
Discussed, you know, how
Involved you'll be.
Well, we're not married,
We're not a couple, but i'm not
A sperm bank, either. oh, look.
Didn't we have this exact one
For conor?
Yeah, i think we did. sean,
So wait a minute. you haven't
Formalized any boundaries, had
Any talks about anything?
No. we will. we will.
[sighs]
Sean, can i just ask you, what
Happened to your plans to work
With curtis?
Curt--forget about curtis.
What is going on with you?
Sean.
[laughs]
Look at this.
No, it's not funny. listen to
Me. for the first time in your
Life, you can do whatever you
Want. you're still relatively
Young, you know. you're
Brilliant.
You know what, i have finally
Made some peace with my life,
Recommitted myself to
The practice, the partnership.
Liz is a bigger part of
The family than ever. and there
Is a baby on the way. why are
You acting like there's
Something wrong?
Sean, i just want you to have
Your best life.
Ok, you know, maybe i am just
Reading too much.
You know what, i think you
Feel guilty because you're
Taking my kids to london. you're
Reading all kinds of things into
Everything. i do. julia, i'm
Fine with it. let's go get some
Lunch.
Oh, look at this. look at this
Rocking chair. ha!
Hudson, get him out of here.
Hudson and i have a little
Understanding.
Take it away, hudson.
You and i have no business
Whatsoever to discuss.
Oh, ok. i guess i'll take
Rafael's surgery off the books,
Then.
[glass clinks]
May i? it's really too good
A year to go to waste.
What are your terms?
Oh, come on, sweetie pie.
Just have a little think about
It.
You'll operate on my son if i
Leave yours.
[pouring champagne]
You really do have the heart
Of a negotiator, don't you?
I love matt. i care about him
Deeply. if you think that--
I think that you would do
Anything possible to get what
You want.
And what makes you think matt
Is not what i want?
Because of the way you look
At him. you look at him like you
Own him. that's not love.
How the hell would you know?
Because i've seen the way you
Look at rafael.
Fine. fix my baby. make him
The way god intended him to be.
And i'll tell matt i'm not...
Available.
Do me a favor.
Let him down easy, would you?
Stupid shit actually thinks you
Love him.
Hudson, we're good.
Do you think this is gonna
Work?
Ava just wants her baby
Fixed. it's what she wanted all
Along.
Hey, not to interrupt, but--
What are you doing here?
Well, i just wanted to thank
You for doing the surgery. it
Means the world to ava and me.
Don't move.
So tell me, why did matt just
Come in gushing about how happy
He is that we're doing
The surgery.
Well, it has to be this way,
Don't you see? you have no real
Desire to help me or my child.
You're right about that. i
Tell you one thing, ok, that kid
Is not gonna see a scalpel until
You come up with your end of
The deal.
You don't trust me? and i
Don't trust you. so as soon as
You begin the operation, i'll
Tell matt he's not part of our
Future. it'll happen at
The same time.
[sighs]
[monitors beeping]

You better watch your step,
She's going to break your heart

* the things she does

This isn't happening, matt.
Don't worry, he's gonna be
Fine. he's gonna be perfect.
That's not what i'm talking
About.
You're not leaving with rafael
And me. we don't need you. we
Don't want you.
[scoffs]
You came back. you came back to
Me, remember? and i know you
Love me, ava, so why are you
Doing this?
I don't love you, matt.
The truth is i've never loved
You.

For a fool,
Yes, it's true,

Conor's definitely outgrown
The sandals.
Annie's definitely outgrown
Her hello kitty phase.
[laughs]
Oh, god, it's just so hard to
Believe that she's such a young
Lady now.
I bet.
Mm-hmm. what happened to
Sean? that's what i want to
Know. you know, why did he
Change his mind about curtis?
He came to his senses is what
Happened.
Yeah, well, that's what he
Says, but he keeps saying these
Weird things like, you know,
"i've accepted my life. i'm
Embracing who i am," like some
Sort of robotic affirmation
Tape.
Meaning?
Meaning he wanted something
Else, and you know that.
I mean, with the kids and i
Going to london, i mean, he has
Less reason than ever to stay in
A job he doesn't love. and yet
For some reason, he's more
Entrenched than ever.
Entrenched.
Well, you love it. but he
Doesn't love it anymore. and
He's afraid to make the leap
Because he's afraid to leave
You.
If he wanted to save
The world, he'd be doing it.
Ok? i think he's better off than
He ever has been. he's happy,
He's upbeat. i mean, we're
Having fun again.
He's in denial. he's staving
Off his feelings, you know, like
He's shoring up the levee.
You're wrong. sean doesn't
Leave me because i'm different
Than everybody else in his life.
I love him.
I need him.
You know what you do,
Christian. you steal people's
Souls. now, you tried it with me
And i got lucky, i escaped. so
I'm gonna pray for sean. i'm
Gonna pray that his luck
Changes.
* the buildings are changing
Into coconut trees
Little by little... *
Is mine mei or kei?
Hmm?
[mumbles]
If mine's mei or...oh.
This is fantastic.
It was your idea.
I know it was. a man needs
An anchor in his life. i used to
Think mine was julia, julia
And the kids. that's bullshit.
So what's your anchor?
[chuckles]
You. you and the business. i
Want to do like 10 tit jobs
A day, and then i just want to
Spend the money.
What about all that pro bono
Shit? maybe you're just too
Scared to do that stuff.
I'm not scared.
I just know i want to be here
With you.
Hey, do you think we can talk
Them into getting implants?
Oh.
Let's dance a little bit.
Let's dance.
* la la la la la,
La la la la... *
Have you ever considered
Going up to a "d"? no, really.
You'd be amazed. just that
Little bit of difference can...
Little bit more and you're
Fantastic.
[laughs]
Have fun, pal.
Huh?
[laughs]
Does anyone want a drink?
Hmm.
Just a little.
Ahh.
Why don't you guys just go
Get a cab?
Thanks, sweetie.
Bye.
Sorry.
That's ok.
[door closes]
[sighs]
All right. seany. come on,
Buddy. come on. come on, get up.
Get up.
[grunts]
[sighs]
I thought i told you to take
A cab.
Hey, sailor.
Kimber?
[groans]
I missed you so much.
Really?
Yeah.
'cause i didn't miss you. i
Know i said to you that i did,
But not so much. i think i'm
Finally free of you now.
Don't say that.
You're the best thing that ever
Happened to me.
And yet you stole my soul.
I had to kill myself to get away
From you.
That was the only way out.
And now sean's killing himself,
Too, christian. if he stays with
You, he's a dead man.
[groans]
I didn't expect there to be
So much...so many scars.
He'll require a few more
Procedures.
Will the markings go away
Evtually?
It'll take a series of
Operations. one a year for
The next 5 years.
5 years? but then after that,
He'll be fine? evidence of
The scarification won't be
Visible?
No. he'll look better, that
Much i can promise you, but some
Of the scarring will be
Permanent.
He'll never be perfect.
Nothing that breathes is
Perfect.
When i was young, my, uh, my
Father told me the story of
A bird handler. he decided to
Paint the strongest of his birds
A different color. as it flew
Toward its flock, they instantly
Attacked it, violently pecking
The intruder tdeath.
My father was trying to warn me
To be different is to lead
A life of pain and persecution.
He was right.
I survived it once. i can't
Survive it again.
The estate will provide for him.
He'll be well taken care of.
What about love? will
The estate provide that?
Will life?
I will never understand you.
Sure you do, sean. look at
This place. you're the high
Priest of conformity. you dance
Around the golden calf shouting,
"how you look is who you are."
Different is just another word
For ugly.
I'm not the monster, sean. i'm
Just one of its victims.
Be strong, my love.
Survive.
Ok. you ready?
Oh, sean, i'm scared.
The sign in the lobby almost
Gave me an aneurysm.
Ta-da.
What do you think? hmm?
Isn't it great? you know, we can
Even hire some help if we want
To. someone to watch over him or
Her when we're in surgery, but
At least he'll be with us.
Us? this isn't your baby,
Sean. i came to you because i
Thought you were respected
The fact that i wanted to do
This on my own.
I'm sorry, liz, but i thought
I could just be there when you
Needed me, when the baby needed
Me.
The baby isn't nna need
You. the baby has me.
Fine. sooner or later, he's
Gonna want to know who his dad
Is.
And i'm gonna tell him or
Her, and if they want to look,
I'm not gonna stop them.
Well.
At leaut he won't have to go far
To find me.
I can't stay here, sean.
I should have known this was
A really stupid, stupid idea. i
Mean, how could i expect you to
Just give me your sperm and then
Want nothing?
But i don't, liz. i don't
Want anything.
Oh, sean. you can lie to
Yourself if you want, but i see
It. i mean, i should have seen
It before.
This is my chance to be
A parent. you've already had
Yours.
Where are you gonna go?
I don't know. but don't
Want you to come and find us.
Ok.
[scoffs]
Promise. jesus.
Can you at least let me know
Where you are? i care about you,
Liz.
And i care about you.
Grandpa!
What are you doing home?
The question is, why are you
Not in school, toji? get back
To ucla. you have thermodynamics
In half an hour.
Yes, sir, grandfather.
Now, what do we have here,
Little lady?
I've heard about you,
Grandpa. your size is legendary.
I don't know if i could handle
You all by myself.
Don't worry, you don't have
To. i've asked over some
Friends. oy!
[gasps]
Oh, grandfather.
[giggles]
[moaning and grunting]
[gasping]
Ohh!
[thud]
He's dead?
Massive heart attack right
After monster orgasm.
I'm so sorry.
Poor guy. i guess the strain
Was just too much.
No, not poor guy.
Hiro died a very happy man.
He lived and died the way he
Wanted to.
We should all be so lucky.
[sniffles]
[glass clinks]
[liquid pours]
You got one of those for me?
You know, i was afraid you
Wouldn't answer the door if you
Saw it was me, so i came up from
The beach.
Can i come in?
Only if you're here because
You brought me a new 30 year old
Bottle of scotch.
[sighs]
I, uh, i came here to get my
Daughter back.
Heh.
Ava's gone, christian.
Now i need to get on with my
Life.
You know what it is to be
A father, matt? it's about
Sacrifice. sacrificing
Everything you have for your
Kids.
I haven't seen any part of you
That makes me think that you're
Capable of that.
Yes, i am.
When was the last time you
Did anything that wasn't about
Putting your needs first?
Today when i begged ramona to
Get back together with me.
And she actually took you
Back?
Mm-hmm.
[knock on door]
Wait a minute. wait!
Get away from--
Wait.
You embarrassed me in front
Of my entire family.
She still wants to get
Married?
Yeah. she was an angel about
The whole thing.
I, uh, i told her i was gonna
Get jenna so that we could begin
The healing process.
I'm a good father, christian.
Or...
Or i can be.
You ready to go home,
Sweetheart?
Uh-huh.
Yeah?
Come over here. give me a hug.
Oh! oof.
Your daddy's come to take you
Home. kiss.
Give me a kiss?
Hi, baby.
I'm gonna make you proud.
Ok.
Ok, here you go.
[rafael crying]
You're gonna be just fine.
You're strong.
Sean, i just got off
The phone with place ava took
The baby from.
And?
And they have an affiliate in
Phoenix, and they want to come
Pick him up tomorrow.
No.
They're gonna come get him,
Sean. i mean, you know, he's
Not yours. you can't just keep
Him here indefinitely.
I'm not letting him on
A plane for 14 hours after what
He's just been through. period.
Tell them i will call them when
I think he's ready.
[rafael crying continues]
It's ok. come on.
Oh, come here. i know. i know.
It's ok.
Yeah.
[rafael continues crying]
It's ok.
[humming]
You sure about this, sean?
Of course i am. this might be
The last time we break bread
Together as a family.
Next time you'll be
A married woman again.
Might be the last time you
Get a decent meal in a while,
Huh? london isn't exactly known
For its cuisine.
I'll get the spoons, dad.
And you, liz, you'll be
A mother soon.
Mmm. you guys excited about
Going to london?
Uh-huh.
You should see edmund's house.
It's like a castle.
Where's matt? he and ramona
Should be here by now.
Oh, he called to say that
They couldn't make it.
Something about a sale on
At rug world or whatever.
So we said our good-byes. now,
Sean, is there anything that i
Can do to help?
Nope. it's all taken care of.
All right. i would like to thank
Each of you for being part of my
Family.
Oh.
I love you all. to cherished
Memories--
And bright futures.
Bright futures.
Cheers.
All right.
* i bruise you,
You bruise me,
We both bruise too easily,
Too easily
To let it show,
I love you
And that's all i know,
All my plans
Are falling through,
All my plans
Depend on you,
Depend on you to help them grow,
I love you
And that's all i know,
When the singer's gone,
Let the song go on,
It's a fine line between
The darkness and the dawn,
They say in the darkest night
There's a light beyond
But the ending always comes... *
Bye, dad.
* endings always come
Too fast,
They come too fast
But they pass too slow... *
I know that the next time we
See each other, it will be as if
Not a day has gone by.
I'll still be sucking
The champagne and caviar out of
Life.
I love you.
Look after him for me.
I will.
Call me when you land.
Promise.
Good-bye, julia.
Bye.
I'll start cleaning.
Where's our 10:00? and why are
There workers messing with our
New sign?
I cancelled the consult.
Sit down.
Tell me what you don't like
About yourself.
Yeah, um, we're in surgery
All day, so when are you
Planning on rescheduling
Mrs. howe's consult?
[inhales]
Just answer the question.
Why?
Because we've always used it
To manipulate people into
Thinking that they can change,
But they can't.
You want to have
An intellectual conversation
About this? fine. i do think
People can change.
Look at me. i mean, i was very
Unhappy for a long time.
But now i'm settled, i'm
Content.
Pretending you're not
Miserable isn't changing, it's
Denial.
Did you cancel mrs. howe just
So you could give me a hard
Time?
Sean, i'm trying to help you
Here, buddy boy.
You know, i've had thousands of
People sit across this desk from
Me, begging me to turn them from
A caterpillar into a butterfly.
The only one i've ever met who
Actually has a real chance
At doing that is you.
Me?
Mm-hmm. you.
I know i can't.
Don't want to.
Why would i want to change my
Life? i have a great partner.
And aside from this ridiculous
Conversation, a thriving
Practice. and now that julia and
The kids are really gone, i'm
Free. i am free to see whoever i
Want. so.
Why are you making this so
Hard?
Making what so hard? you're
All over the place.
I wanted this to last
Forever, you know that.
I'm dissolving our part.
What?
[sighs]
I won't to work with you
Anymore.
Wh--you can't make
A unilateral decision like that.
Lally speaking, yes, i can.
It's gonna cost me some, but i
Already have my attorneys
Drawing up the papers.
Oh, bullshit. i'm here on my
Terms, and if and when i choose
To leave, it will be on my
Terms.
[taps desk]
Bucharest?
I want you take rafael back.
I see how you look at him, sean.
Take him back. see what happens.
These are one-way tickets.
I'm sure they could use you
There. all those sick kids. they
Could use a good surgeon,
Somebody who wants to spend...
Their life healing people.
And in 6 months when i'm
Pining for the glamour of
Hollywood?
We both know that's not gonna
Happen. besides, you'd have
Nothing to come back to.
Someday you'll thank me for
This.
[dinging]
May i have your attention,
Please. tsa paging mary ellen
Bovar. mary ellen bovar,
Please...
Walk you to security?
I couldn't afford first class,
But...
I can't let you do this.
I didn't ask your permission.
Slow down. we need to talk.
About rafael.
What about him?
Well, i know you changed your
Mind about adopting him.
Wrong. i abandoned him like
A stray dog with mange.
Look at me, matt. get the smoke
Out of your eyes and see me for
Who i am.
I do see you, ava. every inch
Of you chiseled to perfection.
But being perfect hasn't made
You complete, has it?
And you think you're the one
Who can complete me?
Mm-hmm.
I don't love you, matt.
I don't care.
Well, you should. you're
Young, and some day you'll find
Someone who loves you back.
Right. now who's got
The smoke in their eyes?
Hey.
Let me tell you something. i'm
Never gonna love anyone as much
As i love you. and i've pretty
Much accepted the fact that
You're as good as it's gonna get
For me.
What about me? have you
Thought about why i'd want to
Spend my life with someone i
Didn't love?
Mm-hmm. because jenna is as
Good as it's gonna get for you.
I may be a total screw-up, but
Somehow i've produced a daughter
Who is as perfect as a child can
Be.
Go on, take her.
A little girl of your own to
Love and a man who completely
Adores you. that's not such
A bad deal, is it? now tell me
We're not the perfect family.
Here we go.
Oh! good job.
Passports?
Mm-hmm.
Tickets?

Please. tsa paging mary ellen

Have you started interviewing
Potential partners yet?
No, i think we'll just keep
Holding down the fort on our own
For a bit, you know.

Excited, terrified,
Grateful.
