Chicago Med (2015–…): Season 2, Episode 21 - Deliver Us - full transcript

Dr. Rhodes fights to save a mother who's desperate to help her daughter beat cancer. Dr. Charles asks Sarah to conduct his daughter Robyn's psych evaluation but has difficulty staying out of the case. When Will and Dr. Manning spend more time together at work, Nina goes to extreme measures to get Will's attention. Meanwhile, Dr. Choi puts pressure on Noah when a residency spot becomes available.

Sure you don't want me to wait with you?

Connor, I'm fine.

I'm not saying that you're not.

I just know that waiting
rooms can be awfully boring.

All those old issues
of "People" magazine.

Anyone else gets a little anxiety,
they get a massage.

Daughter of a psychiatrist...

A full-blown psych eval.

Look,

we both know that you haven't
exactly been yourself lately.

So let's just do this right.



We'll get you back on your feet, okay?

Fine.

Robin Charles?

[phone ringing]

Dr. Kwon just told me Robin's coming in

to be evaluated. I'm
so sorry to hear that.

Yeah, thanks.

Just, um,

I'm hoping for the best.

He chose me as the resident
to do her initial evaluation.

Really?

Yeah, he said you spoke
very highly of me.

- Thank you.
- Well,

didn't tell him anything
that wasn't true.



I imagine it must be
hard to have to stay

at arm's length from your
daughter's treatment, but...

And this goes without saying,
but I'm just want to say it

anyway...
Dr. Kwon and I will do everything we can

to make sure Robin gets
the best possible care.

Dr. Reese,
I have complete confidence in you.

And if there's anything I can do
to help, you just let me know.

I will.

There you are.

- What's up?
- A buddy of mine

had to pawn off two Blackhawks
tickets for tonight.

- You in?
- Only if I can feel

the chill coming off the ice.

Hm. 27 rows up, you're gonna
feel it coming off your beer.

Pick you up at seven?

See you at seven.

All right.

Dr. Rhodes!
Possible collapsed lung coming in.

We're going to Treatment 3.

- I'm on it.
- Courtney?

Talk to me.

Gayle Parks. 21 weeks pregnant.

Fell getting out of bed.

Baby's stable, but mom's short of breath

and satting at 92,
bradycardic and hypotensive.

- Doris!
- Can you tell me what happened?

She miscarried her last pregnancy,

so we've kept her on bed
rest just to be safe,

but when she got up to go
to the bathroom, she fell.

All right, thank you, sir.

All right. Let's move her on my count.

One, two, three.

Okay. All right, let's get it out.

[shallow breathing]

Nice, easy breaths for me.

[monitor beeping]

Got breaths sounds bilaterally,

but they're faint with crackles.

Let's get a stat AP chest x-ray.

No.

Nothing that could harm the baby.

Mrs. Parks,
I promise the radiation will be minimal,

and the fetus will be
shielded by a lead apron.

We understand,

- but if there's any other way...
- I'm sorry, sir,

but your wife is having a
lot of trouble breathing.

- We need to figure out why.
- I said

don't do it. [breathes sharply]

This baby is a perfect match

for my daughter. I'm
not taking any risks.

I'm sorry, excuse me?

I have leukemia.

My mom's having this baby to save me.

[sharp breaths]

[monitor beeping]

- Imagine that baby being responsible

for keeping its sister alive.

Serial bone marrow donation.

Maybe a kidney one
day. Part of its liver.

- Not gonna be easy.
- No.

But if your kid had advanced leukemia,

what would you do?

- Whatever it takes.
- Mm-hmm.

EKG confirmed a right inferior STEMI.

He's feeling better after aspirin.

Gave him a dose of beta blockers,

spoke with cardiology,
put him on the list for a cath,

but he's currently stable

and I think we're
gonna be in good shape.

- Sounds like it.
- Mm-hmm.

All right, Mr. Walker.

You're in good hands with Dr. Manning.

And those hands couldn't be prettier.

Thank you, sweetheart.

Why is it that older men

always think they can
call you sweetheart?

I can't say it happens
much to me anymore.

Oh, maybe you should be sweeter then?

And blow this rugged,
tough guy thing I got?

- [chuckles]
- It's my meal ticket.

- Hi.
- Hey.

Don't even know why
I'm bringing you this,

Mr. I-slept-in-an-hour-late-today.

Well, that's because you're
so thoughtful and lovely.

That's true.

Thanks. I better get back to work.

I'll see you.

Have a good day.

Is it Match List day already?

Uh-huh. Stohl's yearly power trip.

Marching those poor med students around,
telling them that

he's turning in his list tonight.

So if they want a residency spot,

here's your last chance to impress me.

Remind me of a drill instructor

I had in boot camp.

- Nice guy?
- Sweetheart.

[chuckling]

Follow me. We'll start over here.

First, I would like to hear about

what's been happening lately.

After that,
I'm gonna send you down to phlebotomy

so we can run a few standard tests.

Then later, we can meet up again

and see if we can figure
out what's going on.

Sounds like a plan.

Good. Good.

Um, so can you tell me in your own words

why you're here today?

To find out if I'm crazy.

Do you think that's a possibility?

- No.
- Okay.

[exhales]

Though you did agree to meet with me.

How come?

[sighs]

I don't know.

I mean, there is a history

of psychiatric issues in my family.

I see.

Um,

you want to tell me about

what's been happening
in the last few weeks?

I started hearing rats

in the walls of my apartment.

[sighs]

[shallow breathing]

- [knocking]
- Mrs. Parks. Hi.

You breathing any better?

- A little.
- Good.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Leah just finished a round of chemo.

She's been a little nauseous.

Got it.

Why don't you and Sam go
get a little fresh air, huh?

- I'll go with you.
- Okay.

[shallow breathing]

Thanks, Doris.

So your tests show

that you do not have a collapsed lung,

but I'm seeing something
more concerning.

You're in heart failure.

Um,

uh, she had a peripartum cardiomyopathy

during her last pregnancy.

So you understand the danger you're in?

[exhales sharply] I had no choice.

Our son, Sam... [shallow breathing]

Wasn't a donor match for Leah.

This is the only way
that I can save her.

We're well aware of the risks,

but we discussed this at length and we,
uh...

We're willing to take the risks.

I realize that this
is difficult to hear,

but the safest choice in
cases like this is to...

Take the load off of your system
and terminate the pregnancy.

My daughter can't make it

without getting a marrow transplant

in the next year.

If I lose this pregnancy,
it'll be too late.

Three weeks, Dr. Rhodes.
That's all we need.

Can you help us do that?

Yes. Okay.

[shallow breathing]

I'm gonna put you on some
medicine that will help

to strengthen your heart.

We will get your pressure back up,
and hopefully,

you'll be breathing easier again soon.

- Oh, thank you.
- Thank you.

Of course.

Dr. Charles.

Thanks for the help with Robin.

Of course.

Hey, Daniel?

I understand Dr. Reese is the
resident evaluating Robin.

Yeah, well, it makes sense.

She's very good with patients
in her own peer group.

Yes, she is,

but she's also your student.

One of my very best, and I, uh...

I have the utmost confidence in her.

Well, I'm sure you do, Daniel.

I know this is complicated,

but I sincerely hope
you're not using Dr. Reese

as your surrogate.

Sharon, look.

Of course I'm a big fan of Sarah's,

but Dr. Kwon's running
the show on this one.

My only job is to be a good dad,

and stay out of the way.

[alarm beeping]

He's in unstable V-tach.

Barely got a pulse.

A little help in here!

He's peri-arrest...
Must be another heart attack.

Will, start bagging.

April, charge the paddles to 100.

- On it.
- What did his angio look like?

Stented two small
lesions in the cath lab.

[whirring intensifies]

Charged to 100.

- Both: Clear.
- [paddles thump]

No pulse. I'm starting compressions.

Have a milligram of epi.

- Charge to 200.
- [paddles whirring]

How were his vitals?

He was fine. He was totally stable.

- 200.
- Clear!

- Clear.
- [paddles thump]

He's gone into V-fib!

Another milligram of epi.

300 amiodarone.

Keep up compressions and charge to 200.

[paddles whirring]

Then he must have had a worse
disease than we thought.

- Charge to 200.
- Clear!

- Clear.
- [paddles thump]

[monitor flatlining]

Asystolic.

[paddles clang]

[exhales]

Time of death... 10:32.

[sharp breathing]

How did this happen?

And now, for our final case...

Mr. Dayne passed out this morning

from a cardiac arrhythmia.

He's stable now, though still in A-fib.

Mr. Dayne, do you have
any idea how long ago

your irregular heartbeat began?

Nope.

Thank you. We'll be back.

So, if the A-fib started less
than 48 hours ago, we...

Uh, shock him back into rhythm?

Correct.

But if it's been longer than 48 hours,

that same shock could
throw a dangerous embolus

to his brain.

So, my bright, young minds,

one of you needs to
come up with the answer.

Uh, Dr. Stohl?

How are we supposed to do that?

Impress me.

[phone ringing]

[exhales]

- Dr. Reese, what's up?
- Hey.

Robin is down in phlebotomy now.

[clicks tongue] Oh. Great.

Well, sounds like you're on top of it.

How's it, um...

How's it going?

I'm starting to put
together a clinical picture.

Good stuff.

Once again, you know,
if you need any family history,

any background...

For instance, she's been talking
about her apartment a lot.

Has that come up at all?

I really can't discuss this.

Of course you can't. I'm sorry.

- [chuckles]
- I just meant

purely from a clinical
standpoint, you know,

the home is a reflection
of the mind and all that.

It couldn't hurt exploring,
but you're absolutely right.

Keep up the good work.

Doing a great job.

- Dr. Manning?
- Mm-hmm?

I think you might want
to have a look at this.

Oh. Thanks.

Oh, God.

What?

My patient's autopsy report...

I made a mistake.

[phone ringing]

Mr. Walker didn't die of an MI.

Massive pulmonary embolism.

I can't believe it. [stammers]

I totally missed it.

Oh, come on.

Even if we knew, there's nothing
we could've done differently.

It happened so fast.

We didn't have time to
get heparin on board,

let alone send him upstairs.

I know, but still... [stammering]

Wait. How did you get this so fast?

These reports usually take
at least three to four hours.

Nina brought it up to me.

She came upstairs and gave it to you?

Yeah.

[stammers]

I'm gonna go back over the chart.

See if there were some clues.

Nat, listen.

You did everything
you could for that man

so don't get down on yourself over it.

Hey, you're too good a doctor.

Thanks, Will.

[keyboard clacking]

Stohl's A-fib case.

Guy's holding a residency
spot over our heads with this.

What's the case?

40-year-old male.

No records, no history,

and Stohl expects us to
figure out when it started.

Where are you at?

I mean, there's no previous records.

No previous episodes.

[stammers] No family history. I...

I'm getting killed on this.

You got any thoughts?

Any recent caffeine or alcohol use?

New onset irritability,
perspiration, hand tremors?

To assess for acute thyrotoxicosis.

Hey, that is good.

Thyrotoxicosis.

You got anything else?

You applied here for residency, right?

- Yeah.
- Well, you're not gonna get it

by half-assing it through your cases.

Get back in there and start
asking some questions.

And don't come out till you've done

a thorough and complete
history and physical.

- You understand?
- Yeah.

Okay.

Good.

- [alarm beeping]
- Help! My wife can't breathe!

- Please, please, we need help!
- Mom!

[alarm beeping]

[shallow breathing]

She's profoundly bradycardic.

Let's get 5 liters of O-2.

Let's get the external
pads on to capture,

and then we'll set up
for a central line.

- Let me help!
- Yep.

Mom, what's happening?

[gasping] It's okay, Angel.

What are you gonna do?

This is gonna fire
electricity through your skin

60 times a minute to
keep your heart beating

until I can get an internal pacer on.

[gasping] It won't affect the baby?

No, but it is gonna hurt.

[gasping] Okay. Okay.

- Set to 60 beats a minute.
- Got it.

Pacer's set.

[monitor beeping]

Not capturing.

Mom! [hyperventilating]

- Leah? Leah!
- Leah! Leah!

I got her!

- Leah, baby?
- She's not getting enough air!

I need oxygen now!

Nat, she's got stage four leukemia.
Just had chemo.

[both gasping]

Save my daughter.

Try to stay calm, okay?

How are you feeling?

- I'm a lot better.
- Good.

20 more minutes of oxygen,
and then she'll be free to go.

- I'll let her mom know.
- Great.

I love you.

Can I ask you something?

Of course.

What's happening to my mom?

[inhales]

[exhales]

I think that's something

you should talk to your parents about.

They just tell me everything's fine.

When you're pregnant,
your heart is pumping for two.

And right now,
your mom is having trouble keeping up.

Is she gonna die?

Dr. Rhodes is the best heart
doctor in the hospital.

He's gonna take the
very best care of her.

She's doing this 'cause of me.

She's your mother.

She wants to do everything
she can for you.

What about Sam?

Your little brother?

Sometimes,
it's like Mom and Dad hardly notice him.

Like, he's not even there.

Why should I get all the attention?

Your parents are worried
about you because you're sick.

I'm sure they love your
brother just as much.

What about the baby?

What's it gonna be like for him?

I don't want everyone sad 'cause of me.

I want us to be a regular family.

Have you told your mom how you feel?

I think she'd want to know.

- Nina?
- Hey.

Why did you give that report to Natalie?

I'm sorry?

Why did you come up to the
E.D. and give it to her?

She missed a diagnosis.
I thought she'd want to know.

No. You file the report in the chart,

and put an alert in
the doctor's mailbox.

That's how you usually do it.

Okay.

You have it in for Natalie?

What?

Are you trying to make her feel bad

because you think there was
or is something between us?

Really, Will?

That's what you think of me?
Just explain this.

Why would you go out of your way

to make sure Natalie
knew about a diagnosis

she couldn't possibly
have done anything about?

I told you. She made a mistake.

And you know what?

Anyone who refuses to
learn from their mistakes

is gonna repeat them.

Dr. Reese,

how's everything going with Robin?

I kind of have a problem.

Dr. Charles logged into
her medical records.

I see.

I haven't posted any notes yet,

so there's nothing much to see,
but still...

Hmm.

Well, I'll go talk with Dr. Kwon.

In the meantime,
hold off on posting those notes.

- Ms. Goodwin?
- Yes?

I can't help but wonder...

Did Dr. Charles have me
assigned to Robin's case

just so he could get
access to her treatment?

'Cause I get the feeling he's
just using me to be his...

I don't know, his patsy.

Listen, Dr. Reese.

The only thing I can say is that

this is a very difficult
situation for him.

Try not to take it personally.

Hey, there you are.

Showing Dr. Stohl what you're made of?

Yeah. I guess.

Actually, problem is,

Dr. Choi's been riding me really hard.

Well, that's his style.

It's just...

You're his friend, right?

You think maybe you could
ask him just to dial it back

- just a little bit?
- What do...

You know, just get him off my case.

He doesn't hassle the other
med school students like this.

I'm not doing that.

Okay. Fine.
I guess I'll just get back to work then.

How's Leah's mom doing?

Even with the pacer, she's experiencing

a dangerous number of premature
ventricular contractions.

She could have a lethal
decompensation any minute.

And if she does, I'm afraid

we won't be able to get her back.

How's the breathing?

[whispers] Okay.

[harsh breaths]

Let me see the EKG.

What?

What's wrong?

Your heart function is
deteriorating rapidly.

We need to surgically place
a device called an LVAD

to pump your heart for you.

How risky is it for the baby?

Surgery on bypass does carry
significant risks for the baby,

but if we don't do surgery,

we'll be forced to intubate
you and put you on ECMO...

You won't get off the ventilator.

You'll remain in a
persistent vegetative state.

[gasping]

I am very sorry.

We'll get you ready to go upstairs soon.

Will my baby survive?

If I were like that... [gasping]

in a coma?

It's possible,

but the chances are not very good.

- Honey...
- But it is possible?

Mrs. Parks, maybe we're not
making ourselves clear, but...

No, I understand.

But I have the cure to my
daughter's cancer inside me.

Maybe the two of you
should take some time

- to talk it over?
- Yes, yes.

[gasping]

We already discussed every possibility.

- Not this.
- Yeah.

We said we would do anything.

[gasping]

If the time comes...

[shallow breathing]

intubate me.

Hopefully, it won't come to that.

We obviously can't let
her go through with this.

What choice do we have?

We can't force her to have surgery.

We're talking about
letting her kill herself.

[stammers] It's not that simple.

She doesn't see it as suicide.

She sees it as saving her daughter.

At what cost?

She'd be leaving a
three-year-old and an infant

behind with no mother to care for them.

And Leah would survive leukemia.

I offered the surgery. She declined it.

Wait!

You said doing the surgery on
bypass came with some risks.

What about doing it off bypass?

A lot more dangerous.

I wouldn't be able to
see through the blood.

I'd lose them both.

But what if we could save them both?

I mean, brain-death
shouldn't be an option.

That family needs a mother.

Hey, there!

- Oh, hey.
- You, um...

You mind if I join you?

Go right ahead.

- How's it going?
- Fine.

Are you back in your place yet?

Everyone says I don't have rats

so I am back at my place.

Wow. Great.

So no more rats?

Everything's good.

Got it all under control.

Huh.

Fantastic.

Yeah. And Dr. Reese seems
comfortable with where I'm at,

so I think one more session
later on today and I'll be done.

- That's a relief.
- [chuckles]

Hon, you must be exhausted.

You want me to bring
some sushi by tonight?

- Maybe we watch a movie or...
- No.

- No.
- How about I just

- drop off some sushi?
- Dad, I just...

I really want to get some rest.

Of course.

Um, hon,

my knee has been acting up.

Can you do your old man a favor?

Just grab me another creamer, please?
Or two?

Okay.

- Hazelnut.
- Mm-hmm.

[keys jangling]

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

[overlapping chatter]

Hey, um,

I know you're helping my
brother with his case,

and I really appreciate it,

but could you maybe go
a little easier on him?

- What do you mean?
- You know, just

lay off the gas a little?

Where's this coming from?
Did Noah ask you to talk to me?

April,

there's a good doctor inside Noah.

But he has a way of getting people

to make things easier for him.

And as long as they keep doing that,

he's never gonna reach
his full potential.

I won't coddle him.

Who said anything about coddling?

You just asked me to give
him a pass on a patient.

Not a pass.

Just stop being such a hard-ass.

Well, maybe if he had more
hard-asses in his life,

he wouldn't have to leave
Med to do his residency.

Wow. Okay.

You know what?

You don't know anything about me,

or my brother.

You know, truth is,

I can't say I'm surprised

that you and that guy didn't work out.

What?

Well, yeah,
I just mean a doctor and a lab tech...

He just can't understand you.

You know? The pressures we face.

Having someone's life
in our hand. It's...

Noah? Noah?

Yeah?

Have you solved Dr. Stohl's case yet?

- No, but...
- You can't keep having

other people carry your water for you.

You have to commit.

Let them see that you're
gonna kill it every day

- and get the job done.
- I know, but I...

No, but nothing!

Go back to Dr. Choi.
Listen to every word he says

until you get the case solved.

You got that?

Yeah. Okay.

I got it.

[sighs]

I got your page.

BP's 80 over 40. Stats are down to 60.

Gayle, your heart is no longer
able to function on its own.

Please, let me do the surgery.

Otherwise,
we're gonna have to intubate you now.

Honey, I know we've come so far,
and we're so close,

but I don't want you to do this.

- I do.
- No!

It's okay.

You're gonna have a beautiful life.

No, not without you.

We don't want you to go.

Even if the baby saves me.

We love you.

We need you.

Pressure's down to 70.

Gayle, if you don't tell Dr.
Rhodes to do the surgery,

we are going to need
to intubate you now.

No! Don't!

Please, Mommy!

We could try the surgery off bypass.

What does that mean?

Instead of diverting
blood from her heart,

I'll let it keep pumping.

It is an extremely difficult surgery,

but I could avoid using
the anti-coagulant

that would harm the baby.

You could save us both?

The odds are very low,
and if we get into trouble,

I have to tell you...
I will try to save you.

I won't be able to save the baby.

Mom, please!

- Gayle...
- [shallow breathing]

- Okay.
- All right,

tell the O.R. we're on our way up.

Let's get her ready to move now! Okay.

- Yep. Good?
- Let's go.

Hey.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have brought
Natalie into this...

But you were right.

I am jealous.

I just miss you, Will.

I don't want us to grow apart.

Neither do I.

I'll apologize to Natalie.

No, no. I'll talk to her.

Infections can cause heart problems.

Have you had any recent illnesses?

No.

Okay.

Any past issues with blood pressure?

No, I'm usually around 110 over 80.

And your cholesterol is good, too.

I watch what I eat.

I exercise a lot.

I'm a runner.

Okay. Do you track your vitals

with, like, a Fitbit or an app?

Yeah. Yeah, that's how
I know what my BP is.

I've got it on my phone.

Can I take a look?

Yeah.

There is going to be more
blood in the next two minutes

than you've ever seen.

I'll get the LVAD into the ventricle

while Dr. Harper cannulates the aorta.

Keep the suction coming.

Steady hands.

Once we make the cut, the clock starts.

- Are you ready?
- Yes.

[monitor beeping]

Okay.

Ready?

Go!

I can't see anything.

[monitor beeping]

Connor, baby's rate is at 120.

More suction.

Mom's pressure is dropping.

I need 45 seconds.

Baby's rate's at 98.

- You there?
- Not yet.

Mom's not responding.
We're gonna lose her.

[monitor beeping]

All right, I'm in.

Baby's rate is at 65 and dropping.

Mom can't handle this.

We need to deliver the fetus
and get the load off her heart.

There's too much blood.

You can still save the mom.

- We have to deliver now.
- No!

Dr. Rhodes.

I'm almost there.

Baby's rate is at 40.

Dr. Rhodes, what do you want to do?

[keys jangling]

[door creaking]

Hey, honey. Where are you off to?

Uh, home.

Do you mind... Could we just have

a little chat?

I really have a lot of things to do.

Sweetie, look. [stammering]

Honey, I'm sorry.

I'm just really very worried about you,

and I just want to make sure

that we're getting you
the proper treatment.

Yeah, that's being taken care of.

No, darling. Can we just
talk about this for a second?

Robin, stop. I need to
talk to you about...

- Not now, Dad.
- Robin!

Robin!

Excuse me, I need to get through.

I'm so sorry, honey.
I can't let you do that.

What?

Get away from me!

- What are you doing?
- Just need you to stay here

a little while longer.
We need to keep you here

a little while longer so we can
get you the help that you need.

- No. No, I'm not staying.
- I'm worried that you're gonna

hurt yourself.
I don't want you to hurt yourself.

Who are you to decide who's
gonna hurt themselves?

Get off of me. Get off of me.

Get off of me! What are you doing?

I hate you!

I swear I'm never gonna
speak to you again!

[monitor beeping]

Mrs. Parks?

Mrs. Parks?

Gayle?

Hey.

You're okay.

The baby?

Even with the transfusions,
the blood loss was too great.

[exhales]

Your heart couldn't keep up with it.

We tried.

There was no way to save both of you.

- I'm so sorry.
- No, Mom.

Oh, I'm sorry I failed you.

No, you didn't.

- No. I love you.
- [whimpering]

[sobbing]

[sniffling]

That girl has an impossible
battle ahead of her.

At least she'll be able to
face it with her mother.

Based on our patient's fitness app,

the resourceful Mr. Sexton
believes he has determined

when the arrhythmia
began, and he proposes

electrocardioversion.

If he's right, shocking the patient

will return him to a sinus rhythm.

If he's wrong,

we may soon see the effects
of an embolic stroke.

Mr. Sexton?

Charge to 75.

[paddles whirring]

- Clear.
- [thumps]

Sinus rhythm.

Well done, Mr. Sexton.

I'm impressed.

Supposed you're looking for a thank you?

Nah.

Just as long as I get
to say I told you so.

How dare you admit Robin behind my back?

She is my patient.

You didn't examine her.
You didn't treat her.

- You didn't see her apartment.
- I don't care what you saw!

You should've come to me first.

I didn't have time, Dr. Reese.

- She was leaving the hospital.
- Yes, because

I gave her the night to think about it.

I know she needs to be admitted!

I thought... I thought that
she was masking it from you.

No! We were making progress.

I was trying to get her to
admit herself voluntarily.

To take ownership of the idea

so she'd be in the best state
of mind to accept treatment.

I needed to earn her trust for that,

and now that chance is gone.

You have to run around sticking
your nose in everything

instead of letting me do my job.

[door slams]

Natalie, I'm sorry about Nina

bringing that autopsy
report to your attention.

What do you mean?

She feels jealous.

We haven't spent a lot
of time together lately,

and you working here
all day alongside me...

Anyway,

you shouldn't have gotten
dragged into our issues.

Okay.

Okay.

Listen.

If I'm being honest...

If I saw my boyfriend
working with another woman

the way we work together,

I'd be concerned, too.

Why?

We work well together.
There's nothing wrong with that.

We don't just work well together.

The way we laugh, the way we talk...

It's special.

Well, we're good friends.

Are we, Will?

Are we just good friends?

Yes.

That's exactly what we are.

Okay.

- Natalie!
- No, you're right.

We're good friends. Night, Will.

Reese! Hey.

Robin hasn't been answering my texts.

- Have you seen her?
- I was about to call you.

I'm afraid I have some bad news.

[phone ringing]

All right. Let's do this.

Ah, man.

I'm sorry, but I'm gonna
spend a little quality time

with Nina tonight.

- We need that.
- Dude.

I know. It's on me.

I promise I'll get us
tickets for next week.

All right?

I gotta go. I will.

[exhales]

Hey, Nat. Do you like hockey?

Oh, uh, not tonight, but thank you.

My brother just ditched me,

and the ticket's gonna go to waste.

I guess Owen is already
asleep at his grandma's,

and I could use a hockey game?

Right? Cold beer.

Grown men on skates. What's not to love?

Okay. Thank you.

[sighs]

Tough day.

Hope you're not here to lecture me.

Well,

it's a little late for that.

[exhales]

I had her back...

and I lost her.

[exhales sharply]
