ER (1994–2009): Season 12, Episode 15 - Darfur - full transcript

Previously on ER:

He shot me.

CLEMENTE:
They think I did it.

They think
I did it.
All right.

Is there anyone
who can back you up?

Yeah. She's down there.

You've been accepted
into the surgical elective.

Oh, my God. Thank you.

I'm the one who writes
your evaluation,

I'm the one you've
got to impress.

I need you to draw



a blood alcohol
for a suspected DUI.

You gotta help me, Greg.

His blood alcohol
came back negative.

It won't happen again,
I promise.

...because you're
gonna stop drinking

and get yourself
in a program.

Debbie's enlisted me
to give a hand

to a Sudanese doctor who's
a bit short staffed right now.

He works out of a camp called
Dumtalah in Darfur.

( speaks Arabic )

( man coughing )

( coughing continues )

Dr. Carter?

It is Stephen.



You startled me.

You've been coughing all night.

I brought you some tea.

Thank you.

It is the dryness,
you know?

And the sand.

( coughs )

Happens to everyone
when they get here.

That's good.

Zahra, she made
me that when I came.

And I would drink it
every night

before I went to sleep.

Debbie said you needed
some help here.

Yes.

She's a good person.

And your help
will be appreciated.

So, you and Debbie are, um...

Yes.

How long has that been going on?

Well, she has
been here two months,

so seven and a half weeks.

You know what?

You should go back to bed.

Okay.

And thank you.

No, thank you.

Now we can all get some sleep.

( gunshots )

MAN:
What's that?

It's the Janjaweed again.

You will learn
to sleep through it.

( screaming )
No, Bernie!
No biting!

Am I bleeding?
Did he break the skin?

I am so sorry.

He's not usually like this.

You know what?
I'll get a nurse
to give him the shot.

Can somebody please
take a look at this wound?

Yeah, we're
a little short.
Do it yourself.

Hey, what's this?

Ah, that's for you and
the little bastard.

Thanks, Frank.

Hey,
congratulations.

Thank you.
It was supposed to be a secret.

Everybody was saying you
were getting puffy.

I had to defend you.

Am I getting puffy?
You're not
getting puffy.

Are you on today?
No.

Clemente will
be here at 8:00.

Damn it, I'm bleeding.

You should get a hep panel
and HIV on that kid.

LOCKHART:
Clemente's back
on the schedule?

Isn't that a little
bit too soon,

after everything
that happened.

Which I hear was very similar
to what happened in Newark.

What happened in Newark?

Nothing happened in Newark.

The guy
is a loose canon.

I mean, he's
a suspected murderer.

Look, Dr. Clemente

is an excellent physician
with some personal issues.

That's nothing new around here.

CLEMENTE:
It's the fifth time
you brought me in

this week, man-- five times.

Why don't you put it all down
on this piece of paper and sign?

'Cause if I shot her,
then how did I get shot?

Because she went for the gun,
it went off

and it clipped you in
the shoulder, all right?

Come on, man.
Her husband did it.

Her husband did it, okay?

He was working in Jersey.

Well, then he's got to have
a twin, okay, 'cause I saw a guy

just like him
in my apartment.

Well, if that's true,
if he were there,

why can't I find a neighbor
to back your story?

I don't know, man--
'cause people hate me

'cause I play my music loud,
maybe, I don't know.

Because it's bull, Vic,
and you know it.

Now, we talked to the doctor
and your girl ain't waking up.

So if I were you,
I'd get a lawyer.

( water spattering )

DEBBIE ( angrily ):
This is great.

Just great.

( women chanting in Sudanese )

Okay, okay,
we'll be with you soon.

( chanting stops )

Zahra, where's Stephen?

In the back.

What's wrong?
Everything.

( patient gasping )

Good radial and ulnar pulses.

( grunts )

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Stephen, the Janjaweed
shot up the reservoir.

There's a patch kit.
Tell the engineer.

He went to Khartoum.
We can't wait.

At least we still have
the bore holes.

We need 15 liters
per person per day.

CARTER:
Cephalexin 500 milligrams

Qid for a week.

You know, why
are you being so calm?

People are drinking sand.

We have been
through this before.

We drain the tank,
patch the holes

and we treat
with chlorine,
so, sweetheart,

please, take two deep

breaths and do
your downtown dog.

Down and out dog?

( chuckles )
It's not funny.

We can't provide basic needs.

What's new?

Fine. Yeah,

be like that.

Oh, I have two more,
but I'll just save them

for someone
who's listening to me,

appreciates me.

She was like this in the Congo?

She was worse.

At least in the Congo
we had television and beer.

I'm not saying anything
against anyone's religion,

but this place would drive
anybody to drink.

ZAHRA
Dr. Carter?

I need you in here.

It's, um, downward dog.

Ah...

( Carter coughing )

I.V.'s already in.

( Zahra speaking Arabic )

I hear that
you're feeling better.

( Zahra speaking Arabic )

( Osman speaks Arabic )

( speaking Arabic )

They want to go home.
Tell her that I'm going

to give him some medicine
so that we can release them.

Who's this?

ZAHRA:
His brother, Khalid.

An artist.

May I see?

( speaking Arabic )

ZAHRA:
It's him and his father,

fighting the Janjaweed.

Tell him it's, uh, it's good.

Somebody needs to kick
the Janjaweed's butt.

( Zahra speaking Arabic )

( laughter )

Okay, doxycycline,
single dose,

four migs
per kilo, ORS,

one cup after
each loose stool.

Thank you, Dr. Carter.

She's gonna take
very good care of you.

( Zahra speaking Arabic )

This for me?

( speaks Arabic )

MORRIS:
Dr. Clemente.

How was jail?

I didn't go to jail.

Oh, so you called
that lawyer I left
on your machine?

I don't need a lawyer,
Morris, thank you very much.

Welcome back.

So how'd you survive
without me?

Oh, we did our best.

Oh, yeah?
You okay?

Yeah, I'm okay.

Why? People
talking about me?

Well, they're concerned.

They just want to make sure
you're all right, that's all.

Yeah, well, tell
them not to be so
concerned about me.

You didn't have
to come back so soon.

What's that
supposed to mean?

Yeah, well, before Morris
or somebody starts a blog,

I want to set the
record straight.

I didn't shoot Jodie.

Okay.

But how did you know
about the blog?

That little rat bitch.

KOVAC:
Bolus with a liter of NS,
Hey, wait up.

and ten of realan.
Hey, Kovac, Kovac, wait up.

Wait up.

So what have
you got for me?

Good to see you, Vic,
but you're not on
the schedule today.

Come on, Weaver said
I could come back.

I'm head of the ER,
not Weaver,

and I don't think
you're ready.

So what are you doing, man,

giving me the slow walk
to the door?

I'm looking out for you.

Yeah, well, I can take care
of myself, thank you.

And more importantly,

I'm looking out for
every patient in here.

Patients don't need
to be protected from me.

Dr. Kovac, we've
got a 14-year-old,

auto versus peds
coming in.

Go home, Vic.
I am home.

You're not working today.
Come on, Chief,

put me back on the schedule.

Kovac? Come on.

14-year-old hit by car
going about 30 or 40.

BOY:
Oh, my leg.

Distal deformity
of the left lower extremity.

I'm Dr. Kovac.
What's your name?

Jose Rodriguez.

Jose, you remember
what happened?

I got hit.

Let me guess:
Flute.
Tuba.

Sorry about that.

Any LOC?
MARQUEZ:
Nope.

A and O times four.

Vitals?

Tachy in the 120s,
resps 20s, B.P. 110/78.

Okay, Abby,
you take the airway.

Pratt, you run it.
Let's go.

So, how long
is your wife in Paris?

I don't know.

So how long are with us?

How long
do you need me?

It's hard, huh,
keeping relationships going

doing what we do.
Right.

I have a sweet lady friend
in London named Grace.

Whenever I am in town
we fall in love,

and when I leave,
we fall out.

How does Debbie
feel about that?

She has the exact
same relationship

with some Spanish
photojournalist.

What happens in Darfur
stays in Darfur.

( laughing )

( shouting excitedly )

( laughing, coughing )

( laughs, sighs )

So when do you think
all these people

are going to be able
to go home?

Who knows?

The government funded
the Arab militias

to find and kill
the rebels.

So they burned
the villages,

killed the men,
raped the women...

Whoever survived,
wound up here.

Janjaweed have
turned this place
into the Wild, Wild West.

Kofi Anan and
Colin Powell,

they call this genocide.

And then congress, they
just went on holiday.

I guess 300,000 dead
and a million displaced persons

aren't enough
to get involved.

Does not matter whether it
is Somalia, Rwanda, Darfur,

or New Orleans.

When the faces
are black, the
world moves slow.

Is she doing what I
think she's doing?

Yes. She's
quite a woman.

CARTER:
Hey, how much
for the yoga class?

It's free.

( speaking Arabic )

( kids speaking
in unison )

( laughter )

( speaking Arabic )

What happened?

( speaking Arabic )

He's got
a stomach ache?

Yes. He also
has diarrhea.

( speaking Arabic )

His mother has gone
to get wood.

He doesn't know
where his father is.

All right let's take him back
to the tent

for supervisory rehydration.

( speaking Arabic )

It's okay. We'll fix you up
before your mom gets back.

( women yelling in Arabic )

( women screaming,
men on horses whooping )

( screaming continues )

( screaming )

I'd let him keep it,

but what happens
when the battery dies?

It becomes
iTrash.

( chuckles )

Help! Help! She
needs a doctor.

( speaking Arabic )

( speaking Arabic )

Bring a towel,
go get a stretcher.

Tell Zahra to prep
the procedure room.

( speaking Arabic )

Zanjaweed.

The airway's clear,
she's tachy at 120.
B.P. is 100/60.

DAKARAI:
Two liters
of saline wide open.

She's lost a lot
of blood.

Let's hope it's just from
these lacerations, huh?

( pained groaning )

She's got a
nasal fracture.

( groans )

Probably an inferior orbit
blow-out, as well.

Chest is clear.
Okay, let's get these
lacerations cleared up.

I want to see what
we're dealing with here.

Why did she
leave the camp?

The women have to get
the firewood for their families.

Why don't
the men go?

The men would be killed.
Okay, I.V. is in.

Okay, let's get two of morphine,
and I need two suture kits, too.

4-0 vicryl, 4-0 nylon.

( speaking Arabic )

Where's your husband, Gada?

Whoa, we got a lot
of blood down here.

( groans )
What is it?

Uh, we have, uh, lacerations

and contusions to the
external genitalia

and upper thigh.

No. Enough.

I need to examine her.

She doesn't want
to be examined by men!

She's not comfortable!

She needs post-exposure
prophylaxis for STIs and HIV.

I know.
Okay, she get her
husband in here...

Do not tell him
she's been shamed.

Shamed?
Their word, not mine.

Sudanese men sometimes
disown their wives after a rape.

When Gada awakens,

we'll let her tell her husband
what she chooses.

We're going to regionals.

If I miss practice,
the drum major will bench me.

MALIK:
Pratt, Endocrine saw
your IDDM kid,

so he can go, and KJ's dad is
out here, he's asking for you.

All right, he's got
a little guarding here.

Okay, ultrasound and call
surgery to come take a look.

Here, have them follow up
tomorrow.

Where's Darnell?
Right here.

All right, take your time
with the discharge instructions.

I always do.

What happened this time?

I got in a fight, man.
It's no big deal.

Some cat at
this restaurant.

You been drinking again, D?

Damn, man!

Come on, I blew it, okay?

Had a going-away party
for a buddy at work.

I had a few, next thing I knew,
me and this kid got into it.

Yeah, but you're supposed
to stay clean.

You my sponsor now?
No, man.

I'm your boy who you promised
you were going to come clean to.

Look, I'm not gonna
kick this overnight.

What I need from
you right now

is fix me up before
KJ gets down here.

I don't want him
to see me like this.

Then stop
coming in like this.

Hey, there, Jodes.

How you doing?

I'm sorry I haven't
been around much.

It's just...
I got a lot of problems.

Things are really
messed up, baby.

Look, I can see
you're mad at me.

You been going
to the meetings?

Hell, yeah.
It's hard, man.

DARNELL:
What happened in there?

Kid got hit by a truck.

Come on, hold still.

He gonna be all right?

Who knows?

( speaking Arabic )

( speaking Arabic )

Where she?

Your wife was attacked
outside the second checkpoint.

She okay?

She will be.

Shamed?

She was badly beaten.

See her...

I can see her now?

Yes, come with me.

Oh, Gada.

There are bruises to her
chest and to her abdomen.

But I don't think
that there's any damage

to her internal organs.

She live?

Yes. We gave her some
medicine to help her sleep.

She has many cuts, but
they're not so deep.

And I think the stitches
need to stay in for one week.

She cut here?

Yes, but I think it
will heal very well.

There shouldn't
be any scarring.

Sir. Sir.

Sir!

Sir, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Wait.

What happened?

I brought him in
to see her.

Did he see the wound?

Yeah.

Slash on the thigh
is the mark of rape.

How the hell was I
supposed to know that?

Where are you going?

I'm gonna go get him.

John!

LOCKHART:
Chuny, what are his vitals?

Pulse 97, resps 20,
BP 102/58.

A hundred percent
on room air.

Heart rate's a
little high.

There could be
occult blood loss.

What took
you so long?

Our favorite surgeon
has arrived.

I was in three
with the Crohn's girl.

Why isn't Albright down there
helping you out?

Please, I was given strict
instructions to handle the ER

so she can scrub in
on an ileoanalanastamosis.

What have you got?

This is a tier one trauma.

He should have been seen

before you dealt
with any other consults.

Well, I heard he was stable.

Thought I'd get the acute
obstruction upstairs first.

That's fine.
No, it's not.

This patient's gonna need
an ex-lap and that takes time.

Ex-lap?
The ultrasound was negative.

What's an ex-lap?

Abdominal pain, tachycardia
and a good mechanism.

That's a bleed until
proven otherwise.

Guys, that's
basic trauma 101.

All right,
get Albright or Dubenko

down here
to evaluate.

I'm sure they'll
agree with me.

Serial hemoglobin?

13 to 11 point six.

Probably dilutional.

Am I gonna have surgery?

We're not sure yet.

RASGOTRA:
This is the ER.

I'm gonna need a CT
of the chest and abdomen.

Thanks.

Get a portable, Chuny.

Would you forget the scan?
It's a waste of time.

Thank you, but I don't agree.

If the CT shows a bleed,

he's going to the O.R.
And if it doesn't?

He's still going to the O.R.

Not necessarily--
we'll OBS him in the unit.

OBS? That doesn't sound good.

What do you expect
gain from the scan,

other than giving this young boy
a whopping dose of radiation?

Pratt.

A chance to spare him
from an operation

he doesn't need, a better sense
of what we're dealing with.

Surgeons don't like surprises.

You're not a surgeon.

Today I am.

( sighs )

Give her a break, Pratt.

PRATT:
Neela.

Neela, listen, I've got
a lot more experience

with pediatric traumas
than you do.

Kids are tricky.
They have a huge reserve.

They maintain normal vitals
for a long time,

but believe me,
when they crash they crash hard.

The CT scan
is simply part

of the complete workup
of the patient.

It'll take 15 minutes.
We've got time.

I don't think you do.

It's my call, Pratt.

Dad.
Are you okay?

You have to tell Monty I won't
be able to play tonight.

Don't worry about that, son.

The officer
wants to ask you

some questions
about the accident.

Did you get a description?

He was a black dude,
blue pickup.

You see the license plate?

All I remember is that
the side door was smashed,

and the grill
was crushed.

Oh, and there was
bumper stickers,

lots of Bears
bumper stickers.

Malik, take a break.

What's up?

I need you to
take a break.

What's wrong?

You still drive
that old truck?

Yeah. Why?

Because that kid you
were so curious about,

the one who got hit,

says the guy who hit
him was a black dude

who drove a blue pickup!

There's a million brothers
drive blue pickups.

I'm not talking about
a million brothers!

I'm talking about you!

Did you hit that kid?

Yo, Greg...

Answer me!

Did your drunk ass
hit that kid?

Greg, I-I didn't mean
to hit him, man.

It was an accident,
man, I swear.

It was an accident, man.

I didn't mean to
hurt that kid.

I swear to God.

( sighs )

( speaking Arabic )

I think it's this one.

I think it's this
one up here with the
Oxfam logo on it.

( weakly ):
Okay. Hey.

Salaam...

Salaam.

( speaking Arabic )

( speaking Arabic )

What's he saying?

He said Lwendo went
to find the Janjaweed.

She said it happened
by the second checkpoint.

Don't do this.
Maybe we can stop him by
the time he gets there.

It's too dangerous.
This is my fault.

It's Lwendo's fault.

He knows it is suicide
to leave the camp.

He's right. Carter,
you'll get yourself killed.

So could Lwendo.

Look, I'll go.

I at least
know where it is.

You stay.

Drive.

Is my dad still here?

RASGOTRA:
He's outside.

No talking, Jose.
You have to hold still.

Liver and spleen
look good.

How's he doing?
Why are you here?

Following up on my patient.
Vitals are good?

I've got this, Pratt.

Apparently, you don't.

Why are you here?

Dr. Pratt was concerned that you
were not receptive to his input.

So concerned, actually, that

he had to page
me out of the OR

to come see this patient.
You went over
my head?

I want to make sure
we didn't miss anything.

I'm doing exactly what you said.

I'm getting the ER to work up
their patients completely.

No, not really, since you're
the one here doing the CT.

( alarm )
TECH:
Heart rate is up to 125.

Got some fluid
in the retroperitoneal fossa.

That could be blood.

Scan's over.

Retroperitoneal injury wouldn't
show up on an ultrasound.

Jose?

Jose?
He's hypotensive
and nonresponsive.

He was just talking,
and his heart rate was

in the 90s before you walked in.

Get two units type specific.

Send off another set
of blood cultures.

Change to Zosyn and up the
dopamine to ten mikes.

Hey, whoa. Whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

You just skipped
right over her.

What are you doing?

We just rounded
on her ten minutes ago.

I don't think so.
I checked the chart.

I didn't see any new orders.
Come on, what are you doing?

I need to know
what's going on.
I'll catch up with you.

She's off pressors, stable from
a cardiopulmonary standpoint.

We're just waiting for her
neuro status to declare itself.

So, what are you
going to do now, hmm?

What are you going to do?

You're gonna sit back
and twiddle your thumbs?

Is that what
you're gonna do?

We're gonna wait.
That's all we can do.

( phone rings )

What's up?

KENYON:
How does it feel, Vic?

Who is this?

KENYON:
How does she look now?

You still want to touch her?

You sick twisted piece of...

Yeah, I might not
have finished the job.

But it's still
a beautiful thing.

The cops were all over you.

You wait, man.

You wait till she wakes up
and starts talking, all right?

'Cause you're gonna be
in a world of hurt...

Keep dreaming, buddy.

You got out of Jersey okay.

You're not gonna pull that off
this time.

Oh, you don't think?

You know, she was mine.

( voice breaking ):
And you never should have
touched her.

Is that kid
gonna be all right?

I don't know.
He's up in the OR.

We're trying to
stop the bleeding.

Look, man, I messed up.
Man, I'm sorry.

I went out on
a limb for you.

I risked my job to
cover for you because
you promised me

you were gonna
get help.

I'm trying. All I do
is think about drinking.

I wake up,
I want a drink.

I walk down the street,
I want a drink.

I see the winos on the corner,
and I'm jealous.

I just think to myself,

If I could get through
raising KJ,

get him through college,

then I could be out there
with them dudes.

Come on, man.
Are you listening to me?

This is serious.

I'm not proud of it,
but it's serious.

What's serious is,
that kid could die.

And I know that,
and I'm sorry for it.

But what else you want me to do?

Turn yourself in.

What did you say?

You heard me.

Look, you talk about raising
KJ to be honest, right?

Got him working up in here

to teach him integrity
and respect.

Now, how's he supposed
to learn that

if you just get
away with this?

I ain't going to jail.

You've got
to turn yourself in, D.

CARTER:
What does he think he's
going to accomplish?

For a man like him,

pride slips away
on a daily basis.

They can't provide
without getting killed,

so their wives must do it.

And then the worst happens.

He's had enough.

Just wants to be a man again.

This...

This is one
of the places.

Doesn't seem to be
anybody around.

Let's go a
little further.

Look, the further we go,

the more dangerous it gets.

Now I'm sorry,
but we are going to turn around.

( engine revving )

( speaking Arabic )

( speaking Arabic )

How is she doing?

( speaking Arabic )

She wants to know
where Lwendo is.

( speaking Arabic )

( speaking Arabic )

( speaking Arabic )

( speaking Arabic )

Tell her we have doctors
out looking for him.

( speaking Arabic )

Her children.

They're here. I'll get them.

Come on.
Your mother's awake.

( speaking Arabic )

( speaking Arabic )

( whispers ):
What's he asking?

Asking if we have weapons.

We don't have
any weapons.

( loudly ):
We don't have
any weapons.

We're doctors.
( speaking Arabic )

( speaking Arabic )
A woman was raped, we're
here trying to find...

He said shut up
and so do I.

Okay, I'm just saying
they can help us.

John...

( speaking Arabic )

( speaking Arabic )

( speaking Arabic )

( speaking Arabic )

Look, John,
there's a lot of corruption.

The government, the military,
the police, everybody.

They could have helped us.
They could have helped us.

Yes, but then the U.S. would
prefer to have conversations

with criminals like Salah Gosh.

Who's Salah Gosh?

Your government flew him
to Washington to get intel

on the war on terrorism.

They wouldn't be able
to do that

if they started
pissing off Bashir.

Wouldn't be able
to get our hands

on the oil out
here, either.

( chuckles )

So let's go a
little farther.

It is too late.

A little
farther, please.

No. We are going back.

( groans )

What?

What? What is
going on with you?

It's not
cholera, is it?

I'm fine.

Cirrhosis.

Spironolactone.

You have hepatitis.

Schistosomiasis as a child.

Left me with a few
liver granulomas.

What is that?

It could be
them, huh?

( sighs )

So what happens now?

He'll get booked,

probably post bail.

My dad's going
away, isn't he?

( sighs )

( shuts engine off )

( whispering ):
John?

( sighs nervously )

( men shouting in distance )

( whispering ):
John!

( voices grow louder )

( soldiers laughing
and speaking in Arabic )

( screaming )

( soldiers laughing )

( whispering ):
We've got to go back.

There's nothing
we can do.

They'll kill him.

They will
kill us, too.

Stay still, John.

Say nothing.

Lwendo?

Lwendo, stay with me.

Stay with me.

We got multiple GSWs to
the chest, flank and leg.

Bag the femoral artery,
I need a clamp.

John?

Start an IV.

It is one hour
to camp,

and another two to
the surgical hospital.

John?

Don't worry, Lwendo,

we're gonna get you
back to camp.

Ah!

Damn it!

I need some suction.

I need to intubate him.

We can't even do that
at the clinic.

I lost the pulse.

John?

( weakly ):
Vic?

Vicee?

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God, you're awake.

You're awake, baby.

I was so worried about you.

What happened?

You don't remember?

Gunshots.

Yes, yes.

And Bobby...

Bobby shot me?

That's right.

That's right-- you think
you can tell the police that?

Is he in jail?

No. No, not yet, not yet.

But we're going to be okay.

And how long am I
going to be...

How long am I going
to be like this?

Ah, baby, it's just going to be
a little while longer,

about a week or two--
and your moms is coming up

to take you home.

Oh, not my mom, Vic,
please.

It's just going to be
for a little while, that's all.

You got to do it.

We're still going to be
together though, right?

Don't you
leave me now, jerk.

We're gonna be okay.
We're gonna be okay.

You just take it easy,
all right?

I'm gonna get
your doctor.

Okay.

( sighs )

Um, I'm headed out.

Somebody coming
to pick you up?

Yeah, I'm going to stay
with my aunt for a while.

Hey, KJ.

Look, um...

I feel bad
about all this.

But you got
to understand...

It's not your fault.

I mean, every time my dad
picked me up from school,

I could smell
the alcohol on him.

He's going to get
the help he needs.

Thanks to you.

KJ...

Look, all my dad's
other boys,

they just help him
get out of trouble,

but you're the only one

that makes him step up
and take responsibility.

That means a lot,
Dr. Pratt.

A lot.

All right, man.

Damn.
What was all
that about?

How is the kid?

There was a tear
in the mesentery,

which opened up
a small artery.

Easily controlled
once we got in there.

So he's okay?
Yeah.

He didn't drop his pressure,
he didn't code on the table?

No, Pratt, the
case went well.

All right, thank you.

Look, I'm sorry.

You were right, I should
have listened to you.

Oh, forget about it.

He tolerated
the anesthesia okay?

Yeah.
All right, good.

What's going on?
Nothing.

You're lying.
What's up?

I, uh...

I know who hit that kid,
and it's all my fault.

What do you mean
it's your fault?

The cops brought in
a friend of mine a while ago

for a blood alcohol level.

I drew my own blood,
switched the tubes.

What?

He swore to me
he was going to get help.

That kid almost died!

You just said he was fine.

He's got a
pulverized leg.

He needed blood
transfusions.

He's going to be
on a ventilator.

He's going to be in
the hospital for weeks.

You call that fine?

All right,
I made a mistake.

Look, Darnell's
not a bad guy.

Just, at the time, it seemed
like him going to jail

for a DUI wasn't going
to help anybody.

It would have helped
Jose Rodriguez.

He wouldn't be in
the hospital now.

I made him turn himself in.

You think that's enough?

So now what?

You gonna tell Kovac
or something?

You got your friend to own up
to what he did.

Take your own advice.

How about Celine
or Jewel?

Have you been going through
your CD collection again?

I love Jewel.

Well, yeah, me,
too, I guess,

but not for a name.

What about Charo?

( chuckling ):
Or Liberace?

How about we
give him the name

of the first person
who walks through the door?

Seriously?
Sure.

Okay.

Well, maybe not.

Hey, what's up?

That's great news about Jodie.

Thanks.

We were all happy
to hear it.

Maybe now you can put me
back on the schedule, huh?

Give me a sec.
Mm-hmm.

Hey, Vic.

You need to undergo
an evaluation

by the Impaired Physician
Committee.

Come on, you're not
serious, are you?

Medical,
drug testing, psych.

You're serious.

Yeah, well, I don't
need that, okay?

I do.

Okay, fine, fine.

Whatever you need, man,
I'll do it for you, okay?

Okay.

You son of a bitch.

You're screwed, buddy--
oh, yeah,

'cause she's upstairs
telling the cops right now

everything you're doing.

Right now, that's right.

We're gonna get you,
you hear me?

We're gonna get you.

( car horn honking )

Hey!

( tires screeching )
Son of a bitch!

I can't get
Gada to rest.

She's inside
with the children.

Look.

DEBBIE:
She won't have to wait too long.

( speaking Arabic )

( engine shuts off )

Lwendo.

Lwendo!

Lwendo.

( sobbing ):
Lwendo.

( speaking Arabic )

Lwendo, no.

Lwendo.

( speaking Arabic )

Lwendo.

( crying )

( speaking Arabic )

Lwendo.

( all sobbing )

( sobbing continues )

( clattering nearby )

( speaking Arabic )

CARTER:
What is he saying?

It's from the Koran.

"From the earth,
God created you."

( man continues in Arabic )

"To the earth,
God will return you."

( man continues )

"From the earth,
God will bring you out again."
