CRISTINA: When we brought your husband into the O.R., we originally thought we could go in with a bronchoscope and a laser, however, there was a lot of bleeding, so we had to open him up.
TEDDY: Wait. You— you— wait. No. Owen said that—
CRISTINA: When we opened him up, we saw that the tumour had eroded his pulmonary artery. Dr. Webber and I both used extraordinary measures.
TEDDY: No.
CRISTINA: But we—
TEDDY: Uh, no. No, no.
CRISTINA: We used extraordinary measures, but his heart could not tolerate the excessive bleeding.
TEDDY: No.
CRISTINA: He did not survive the surgery. I’m sorry.
TEDDY: You’re saying… (voice breaking) You’re saying, he’s dead.
CRISTINA: Yes.
TEDDY: Say it.
CRISTINA: Teddy…
TEDDY: When you inform the family, you have to say it so that they know that it’s really happening. It’s the first thing that you’re taught. I never really thought about it… But now I get it and, um… Cristina… I need you… I need you to say it.
CRISTINA: Henry is dead.
TEDDY: Thank you.
