ER (1994–2009): Season 7, Episode 16 - Witch Hunt - full transcript

Weaver fears for her own reputation when Legaspi is accused of sexual harassment. Afraid to reveal her relationship with Legaspi--for both personal and professional reasons--Weaver fails to support her during the investigation. An infant is abducted from the hospital and later found on a train platform.

(male narrator)
Previously on "ER.."

Ah!

(Mark)
'No contractions since'

the third round.

Fetal heart rate looks good.

And the monitor stays on
for at least 24 hours.

‐ Intern, first day.
‐ Oh, yeah?

‐ Hey, welcome.
‐ Rena Trujillo.

‐ Nice to meet you.
‐ And you.

He recommended formal
competency testing

MRI, personality tests.



(Kerry)
'Young girl in trauma two.'

Parked her car
in front of a train.

She's also in a
major depression.

No real remorse.

About the suicide attempt?

‐ For the train wreck.
‐ Oh, my.

Do you think that you're
gonna get off before 12?

I'll try to be quiet.

No, wake me.

[engine whirring]

‐ Dr. Legaspi?
‐ No.

I'm Detective Graham. This is
Detective Watkins, Chicago PD.

We have this listed as,
uh, Dr. Legaspi's address.

‐ Is everything alright?
‐ Does Dr. Legaspi live here?



Yes, she does. She's inside.

Who are you?

I'm Dr. Weaver.

‐ You live here, too?
‐ No, I‐I don't, I'm just..

...you know, I don't wanna be
rude, but I'm‐I'm freezing.

Oh, I'm sorry,
by all means, we just need

to speak to Dr. Legaspi.

[clicking]

Luka

'I think one of the kids
from the coffee shop'

'broke into the apartment.'

I got breakfast.

I don't believe
in breakfast.

It's the most important
meal of the day.

That's never been
medically proven.

‐ Why are you up?
‐ It's morning.

I got coffee, bagels
and a real estate paper.

I'm thinking I should
get a new place.

What? Did the hotel fire
you for getting up too early?

‐ No.
‐ Well, somebody should.

Hey.

Look, there's an entire
warehouse in here

for the price of some condos.

That is very nice.

Especially in the summer

'when all you smell
is dead flesh.'

It's the
slaughterhouse district.

It's still a good deal.

You know, first you live
in a boat, then a hotel

and now a meat plant.
What's next, a tree house?

Hey, you‐you're really not
a morning person, are you?

[chuckles]

[alarm blaring]

Hey, boy.

[dog barking]

‐ 'Hey.'
‐ Good morning.

‐ Nice toga.
‐ Yeah.

I seem to have lost my clothes.

Oh, your pants are on the
couch and Norman had your socks

so I put them in your shoes.

You named your dog, Norman?

Yeah, that was his name
when I got him from the shelter.

‐ 'He likes you.'
‐ You think?

'Yeah, otherwise
he would have bit you.'

‐ You want some eggs?
‐ Oh, yeah, sure.

[flushing]

Sorry.

[door slams]

My roommate. I think we
kept her up last night.

She seems a little angry.

'More jealous than anything.'

You want some tea?

Uh, do you have any coffee?

No, sorry.
I don't drink coffee.

That's okay.

I don't usually do this,
bring somebody home.

Trust me, I‐I don't, either.

I really had a lot
of fun last night.

Me, too.

Maybe we could do
it again some other time?

‐ What about, uh..?
‐ Oh, well..

You'll just have to
be a little quieter.

[laughs]
Me?

Yeah, I think
you yelled "stat."

I did not.

[laughs]

Are you working today?

Uh, I got a lecture
in the morning

but I'll be in around one.

You wanna have lunch?

Okay.

‐ These are good eggs.
‐ Oh, thank you.

I was called down to assess
for suicidal ideation.

It was my job to determine

if the patient needed
to be admitted.

‐ 'For a psych hold?'
‐ Yes.

(Graham)
'And it was your professional
opinion that she did?'

[water flowing]

Dr. Legaspi?

Yes. She was, um..

'...confused about
her sexual identity.'

She was clinically
depressed and had spent

a considerable amount
of time planning

'to hurt herself.'

[theme music]

[music continues]

You're awfully quiet
this morning.

‐ Just thinking.
‐ About?

Oh, nothing important.

I hope you're not
worrying about this

silly competency evaluation.

This "silly"
evaluation will determine

whether or not
I keep my license.

They're merely a formality.

NASA astronauts
take fewer tests.

You know if I don't
score above that‐‐

Stop. You're a brilliant doctor.

Regardless of whether you put

a round peg in a square hole.

Where'd you hear
I put a round peg

in a square hole?

Hey, hey, easy.

You don't wanna
shake up that kid

more than he has to be.

Listen, our baby's fine.

I've taken every
necessary precaution.

I've been extremely careful.

I haven't had a contraction
in two weeks, you know.

You still need
to take it easy.

I'm medicated,
I'm monitored

and I'm more than able
to go back to work

so stop being
such a Nervous Nellie.

Okay, one, don't
ever call me Nellie

and two, if you overdo it,
you can go into preterm..

Yes, yes, yes. I am
a doctor, too, you know.

Well, this doctor's
orders are to slow down.

I seem to remember
giving you similar orders

after your surgery
and I don't think

you listened to me, either.

Meet me for lunch.

If you're not in labor.

Is that decaf?

Some guy swallowed
a couple dozen on a bet.

Now he's got tummy trouble.

‐ No doubt.
‐ Any suggestions?

Yeah, why don't you
get some colored rocks

and maybe one of those
deep‐sea divers that bubbles.

‐ 'Carter, you want a pet?'
‐ No, thanks.

‐ How about some coffee?
‐ What's this?

Some guy dropped it off
a few minutes ago.

You want me to read the card?

‐ No, thank you.
‐ Too late. It's from Rena.

‐ Oh, who's Rena?
‐ Child life specialist.

Helped me with an
unruly kid last week.

Really? So, what's
she look like, Carter?

Um, you know, I don't know.

She's blond, that tall

kind of cute in
her own way, right?

Don't ask me. I didn't
get a gift basket.

Now, if she helped you, Carter

why are you
getting all the goodies?

Because I gave her
a good assessment

on her internship.

Actually, the card says..

‐ Thank you very much, Amira.
‐ "Thanks for a great evening.

"You can bring your
own coffee next time."

'Must have been one hell
of an assessment, Carter.'

[chuckling]

(Legaspi)
We're gonna move you to
your own room. Okay, Mary?

What if Jesus comes
for me and I'm not here?

I'll have one of
the nurses send him upstairs.

‐ Will you?
‐ Yeah.

‐ Thank you.
‐ You're welcome.

‐ Hey.
‐ Got a minute?

So, Bloody Mary's back, eh?

Well, she's harmless.

I tried to page you.

Yeah, well, it's been pretty

crazy upstairs

not just because
of the patients.

So what was this thing
with the police?

Oh, you should
have stuck around.

‐ It was quite a little party.
‐ Yeah, I had to be on at 7:30.

So did I.

I didn't abandon you
on purpose.

I didn't say you did.

Okay. What did they say?

They were following up
on Shannon Wallace

the attempted suicide who
caused that train derailment.

They probably wanna talk to you.

Why?

The patient has accused me

of sexual harassment.

‐ What?
‐ Yeah.

She told the police that I came

on to her and I touched her.

Why would she say such a thing?

Well, she caused over 30 deaths.

She's probably trying to divert

the heat off of herself.

Yeah, but why‐why would
she accuse you of that?

How would she even
know that you were‐‐

Gay? Yeah,
I‐I told her.

You what?

I was trying to help her.

Oh, no, Kim.

Kim, what were you thinking?

I don't know, Kerry.
That she needed help?

Yeah, so you disclose
your personal life

to an unstable patient
who you don't even know?

I‐I..

‐ Mr. Hollis is crashing.
‐ Okay.

‐ I'll see you later.
‐ Yeah.

(Alexander)
'Elizabeth, I thought you were'

on bed rest.

Hardly.

Is this another one
of my patients, Peter?

What?

Well, you seem to have
taken on several additional

responsibilities
during my absence.

Well, I didn't have
really much choice.

Oh, so, you had to organize
the educational conferences

for the next two months
and do my interview?

Well, I thought you were on
medical leave for preterm labor.

'Romano told me to
keep this place running.'

Well, I was on medical leave

but now I'm back and I am ready

'to resume all of my
responsibilities'

as associate chief of surgery

and if anyone has
a problem with that

they can come and see me.

Think Greene developed
that brain tumor

after she got pregnant?

Can I help you?

Oh, a glass of water
would be nice.

‐ My throat's a little dry.
‐ Has anybody seen you?

Oh, no. I didn't
wanna bother anybody.

That's why we're here

but you need to check in
with the receptionist

at the admit desk

and then you can
speak with a nurse.

I'm afraid there's nothing

they can do for me.

I'm dying.

‐ Who's your doctor?
‐ I don't have one.

Never did.

Then how do you know
you're dying?

Oh, it's in the cards, dear.

Ah, you read tarot cards?

Mm‐hmm. Cards,
palms, tea leaves.

Give me your hand.

Come on. I won't hurt you.

Mmm. Oh, my.

You do have a bit
of a black cloud

hanging over you,
don't you, dear?

See there, there's
a crack in your life line.

It's probably dry skin.

Listen, while I'm here

why don't you
let me check you over?

Well, you can if you want to.

The cards have already told me.

I will be dead by sundown.

Bolus a liter of saline
and call animal control.

How's our old friend
Super Larry doing?

He's got a fever of 100.8

but no source of infection.

You might wanna check
for an aspiration pneumonia.

He had one last year.
Hey, wake up, Super Larry.

Go, get a head CT. He's got
abrasions. He might've fallen.

Yeah, you would, too,
if you slept on the sidewalk.

Hey, Dr. Weaver.
This is, uh, Detective Graham.

You ran off before
I got a chance

to talk to you, this morning.

Why would you wanna talk to me?

You saw a patient by the name

of Miss Shannon Wallace that

Dr. Legaspi also treated?

Yeah, I called for..

...the psych consultation.

But you didn't stay with her?

No. We had a mass
casualty situation.

She only had minor injuries.

So you effectively
left Dr. Legaspi

alone with the patient?

I suppose.

Are you aware
that the patient said

Dr. Legaspi sexually
assaulted her?

'Yes, and it's ridiculous.'

The young woman had
psychological problems.

I mean, she tried
to kill herself.

Nonetheless, you know, we have

to follow up the accusations.

What exactly is your
relationship with Dr. Legaspi?

We're colleagues.

'Do you live together?'

No.

But you were at her house
early this morning..

Well, to be honest,
I really don't have time

for this right now. I'm sorry.

County is hard‐core
blood and guts but I guarantee

you'll rack up
more surgical hours here

than anywhere in the country.

I must admit
I'm intrigued, Dr. Romano.

‐ I'll be in touch.
‐ I look forward to that.

Is she another one
of my replacements?

Lizzie, my, how you've grown.
How are you feeling?

I was doing wonderfully
until I got into work.

What work? I thought
you were on bed rest.

See, I wish people
would stop saying that.

I took a little time off
to recoup some energy

but now I'm fine.

Oh, it might will
explain the, uh

baby monitor I see
strapped to your belly

or are you just glad to see me?

I spent 48 hours
in the hospital.

Yes, I 've been
doing home monitoring

but I can assure you,
I'm ready, willing

and more than able
to return to work.

Mm‐hmm. For how long? A week?

Look, I appointed you associate
chief so that I'd have

a lieutenant on the front lines
that I could count on.

Now, you wanna be barefoot
and pregnant in the kitchen

you have my blessing,
go forth and multiply

but this is why surgery's
an old boy's club.

Have you any idea
of the hospital's policy

on sexual harassment
and discrimination?

We still have one of those?

Yes, we do, and I'd be so happy

to reacquaint you on
the section of maternity leave.

Well, I 'd rather do
a bowel resection, thank you.

Do you know, Robert,
I read somewhere

about a pregnant woman
who killed her husband

and got off on
a temporary insanity defense

because of
her hormone imbalance.

Okay, you wanna work? Fine.

We're presenting three
cases for M and M tomorrow.

Pull the charts from
medical records

track down the
X‐rays in radiology

and get the slides
from pathology.

No, no, I want
back in surgery.

Uh, uh, uh.
First things first.

Then you can set up the
projection microscope

and make 35 millimeter
slides of the gross

pathology specimens.

‐ Anything else?
‐ 'Yeah.'

Make sure there's
coffee and donuts for 100

especially the ones with the
little sprinkles on top.

(male #1)
'Give 'em back.
Give 'em back.'

Shh. Mr. Perkins,
keep it down. Shh, shh, shh.

This bitch stole my teeth.

You call me that one more time

I'm gonna put
that Foley back in you.

Okay, here. You might want to,
uh, wash these off before..

before you put them back in.

Abby.

‐ Can you help me with this?
‐ Sure.

So, how long has
she been sick?

A few days. I‐I thought
it was just a cold.

‐ Any fever?
‐ I don't think so.

Any problems at birth?

History of lung disease?

No. No, she's been
a really healthy baby.

Dr. Kovac, can I speak
with you for a minute?

Yeah. Get a quick set of vitals
and put her on a pulse ox.

So, have you figured out what's
causing Super Larry's fever?

No, no, not yet.

I'm still waiting on the lab

for his blood work.

Maybe something will turn up.

Okay. Luka, wait.

Uh, you're probably wondering

what that police detective
was all about today.

Not really.

There were some charges

filed against Dr. Legaspi.

Oh.

I'd‐I'd like to keep the rumors

to a minimum for
Dr. Legaspi's sake.

I understand.

I only bring it up
because this place

seems to feed
on gossip and‐and‐‐

(Amira)
'Dr. Weaver?'

‐ Dr. Romano's looking for you.
‐ Thank you, Amira.

Said he wants to see you up
in his office immediately.

He also said if
you didn't come up

the the moment
you heard this message

he was going to fire both of us.

The temp is 100.2. Pulse
is 120 with a pulse ox of 94.

That's not too bad.
No wheezing.

I appreciated some retractions.

A little.

We'll get a chest film
just to make sure.

'In the meantime,
put some saline'

'in her nose
for a few minutes'

and, uh, use the bulb syringe.

See if that helps.

Is she gonna be okay?

Well, she doesn't
have a fever and her lungs

are pretty clear, which is good.

Yeah, but she still
seems to have trouble

catching her breath.

Well, babies tend
to breathe through their nose

so they can have some difficulty
when they're stuffed up

but I'm sure she'll be fine
once I help her with that.

He knows that I'm here, right?

Yes.

And he is aware that
I'm working in the ER today?

Oh, yeah. I would imagine so.

Well, he made this sound like

it was some kind of emergency.

Well, I'm sure
he won't be much longer.

Okay, he can page me
when he's ready.

Dr. Legaspi.

Kerry.

What are you
waiting for, Dr. Weaver?

A written invitation?

[screaming]

Is that it?
Is it fixed? Can I go?

No, we have to put a splint on
you and check another X‐ray.

Just try and relax, okay?

Malik, why don't you
finish this splint

and order up a chem seven,
cholesterol and a tox screen.

You got a skin infection
on your forehead

and it could move into an
infection around your brain.

How's it going, Dave?

Uh, well, turns out
the Weasel here

is suffering from a
self‐inflicted wound.

‐ Weasel?
‐ That's my ring name.

Yeah, Todd's
a basement wrestler.

I had an uncle who
was a closet ballerina.

So, is your friend
there a wrestler, too?

James is awesome.
Calls himself "Mr. Midnight."

How'd you manage to do this?

He sliced himself
with a razor blade.

It's called blading.
Fans love it.

Yeah, I bet.
You got this, Dave?

Yeah, I'm just trying
to convince Super‐fly here

that slicing open his scalp?

Not such a good idea.

Update his tetanus
if he needs it.

See, there's
another risk, tetanus, eh.

Then of course there's
nerve damage, hepatitis.

And you could put your
eye out, you know?

And‐and don't forget
about scarring.

Scarring, that's‐that's
not a good one.

Chicks don't dig scarring.

They don't dig that
Frankenstein look

if you know what
I'm saying. Right, Dr. Greene?

What's that?

Never mind.

You might have at least
given me a heads up.

Yeah, this is the first I've
heard of these allegations.

Yeah, but you must have
had some indication

that she was a lesbian.

What has that got
to do with anything?

Well, it seems to me
that's the crux of the problem.

‐ Don't you think?
‐ No.

The problem seems
to be a false accusation

from a patient with
psychological problems.

She could have just
as easily made a similar

'indictment against
one of the male doctors.'

Yeah, but she didn't, did she?

Have you had
any other complaints

against Legaspi in the ER?

Of course not.

And, uh, she's never displayed

any unacceptable sexual behavior

that you've witnessed?

‐ Well?
‐ What do you think?

I'm getting a sneaking suspicion
that you're holding out on me.

Oh, please, Robert.

I think you're trying
to protect her.

Of course, I'm trying
to protect her.

You should be, too.

She is a damn good doctor.

I'm calling for an emergency
disciplinary hearing

today with
you and Anspaugh.

Why? You know these
charges are a joke.

No one's laughing, Kerry.

‐ This is a witch‐hunt.
‐ No, this is damage control.

‐ Okay. Are we finished?
‐ For now.

Can I give you
some friendly advice?

No!

(Carter)
'You know, we spent,
like an hour hooking up'

'two of my grandfather's
polo ponies'

to this old pushcart.

‐ Were you insane?
‐ We were.

We were, like, nine.
We didn't know any better.

Anyway, it was so cool.

It was just like
"Spartacus," you know?

Right up until the part
where my grandmother sees us.

‐ Oh, no.
‐ She screams, the horses spook.

My cousin, as usual, bails.

The horses go one way,
I go the other

and I'm left holding
onto the reins. Well.

Actually, I'm still
working on that. Thanks.

Thank you.

How was your...how
was the seminar today?

It was a lecture on
developmental psychology.

Freud, Piaget, Kohlberg.
It was boring.

Blast from the past, huh?

It's like being back in college.

Well, I am in college.

No, I meant
as an undergraduate.

I am.

Hmm.

Excuse me. I thought you
said you were a pedes intern.

No. I'm doing
a child life internship

in the peds department.

I need 480 hours of
clinical experience

to certify and
I figured if I start now

I'll be done by
the time I graduate.

Graduate?

‐ How old are you?
‐ 20. Well, in September.

You're 19?

‐ Yeah, are you okay?
‐ Oh, my God.

Hi.

Is she doing better?

Well, she's still
not getting as much air

into her lungs as we'd like.

It might just be
her cold but we're gonna get

a chest X‐ray just in case.

‐ Can I go with her?
‐ Of course.

‐ Are you alright?
‐ Yeah.

She just hasn't
let me get much sleep

in the last couple of days.

Why don't you get a cup
of coffee while we wait?

Okay.

‐ Hey.
‐ Hey.

You got a minute?

Sure.

What's up?

I just had, uh..

I just had lunch with Rena

and I think that
there's a problem.

What? She, uh, chews
with her mouth open?

‐ She's young.
‐ So?

You're not exactly
an old man yourself.

You could use someone to
loosen you up a little bit.

She's really young.

What? Is she
like...23, or something?

Twenty‐two?

‐ Is she 20?
‐ In September.

She's a teenager.

‐ Carter?
‐ I didn't know.

You didn't ask?

Women don't like
to tell you their age.

Well, she's not
a woman. She's a girl.

She's a woman, believe me.

Did you sleep with her?

Oh, my God. You did.

‐ I didn't know.
‐ You couldn't tell?

‐ Did you break up with her?
‐ Not yet.

What are you waiting for?
You're gonna call your lawyer?

Well, she's very mature
for her age.

You know, she's cool,
she‐she's fun.

She's Britney Spears'
little sister.

‐ Thank you.
‐ 'Excuse me.'

Yeah.

Did they bring
May to radiology?

No, not yet.

Then where is she?

Oh.

They must have picked her
up when I was in the hall

talking to Dr. Carter.

Darrel. Hey, Darrel.

Did you take
the little girl in exam four?

(Darrel)
'Not yet.'

You didn't take her?

No, she's my next pickup, okay?

If‐if he doesn't have
her, then who does?

She might've been moved
to another room.

Just, um...hey,
hold that elevator.

Hold. Is that May Jeffries?

‐ 'Who?'
‐ Uh, May Jeffries.

She's a four month old
in exam four.

Sorry.

Please tell me what's happening.

Okay, just a second.

Haleh, did you move a four month
old baby out of exam four?

‐ No.
‐ I can't find her.

Where is she?

I need security.
Where's security?

I need somebody to lock down
the ER, now. Dr. Greene?

Uh, just a second.
Can you call‐‐

Dr. Greene, I'm missing
a patient, a baby.

I think someone
took her from exam four.

‐ Oh, my God.
‐ What?

I‐I was waiting for
transport to take her down

to radiology and I
just stepped outside

Where the baby? Where's my baby?

Alert security. Call
the police, grab some nurses.

We'll do a room‐by‐room search.

Hey! Hey!

Wait. Look...look out!

Hold it, hold it.
Wait. Wait.

(male #2)
What's your problem?

Sorry.

You didn't see
anyone enter the room?

‐ Did you?
‐ What?

See anybody? A doctor,
a nurse, an orderly.

No, no.

I feel like I should
be helping them...look.

We've‐we've got
that covered, okay?

We're searching the hospital.

'How long were you
out of the room?'

Like a minute, maybe two.

You know, maybe
the person that took her

is distraught over recently
losing their own baby.

I could check
the hospital records.

Well, we'll let you know
if that's something

we wanna pursue.

Did you see anyone
unusual in the vicinity?

‐ Someone you didn't recognize?
‐ This is an ER.

It's filled with strangers.
I've told you everything I know.

I feel like I'm
wasting my time here.

‐ I‐I should be doing something.
‐ Just a few more questions.

(female #1)
'It's okay, dear.'

Sometimes God calls his
little babies home

to be his angels.

Is there someone that you would
like me to call to be with you?

Your husband, maybe?

I'm divorced.

‐ What is his name?
‐ Ed.

Ed Jeffries, but
he lives in Boston now.

Okay.

The police would like to ask

you some questions.

Do you feel up to that?

Okay. I will be back when
they're done and we'll talk.

Okay.

‐ Hey.
‐ Hey.

How's she doing?

Better than I would be.

Um, how was your
meeting with Romano?

Homophobic, misogynistic.

The usual.

Degrading.

‐ What'd you tell him?
‐ The truth.

That Shannon Wallace
was a young woman

experiencing a severe
sexual identity crisis

that she needed to know that
being gay is not an affliction.

Yeah, and what did you
tell him about us?

Oh.

Oh, I see.

Don't worry, Kerry.
Your secret's safe with me.

No, That's not what I meant.

‐ No? No? What did you mean?
‐ No, no.

You think that I am the only one

who has problems
with this but that‐that

that's just universally
accepted but that is not true.

So what, so we're supposed to
skulk about in the shadows

because some narrow‐minded
individuals disapprove?

No, no, I just think
that you are fooling

yourself if you..

How many openly
gay women do you know

in hospital
administrative positions?

‐ Kerry.
‐ None. It doesn't happen.

What does that have
to do with anything?

I'm trying to explain to you

why this is difficult for me.

Well, guess what, Kerry?
This isn't about you.

This is about a confused
and frightened young woman

who would rather kill herself

than deal with the
stigma of being gay.

Maybe it is about you.

(Carter)
'Abby, what are you doing?'

Nothing.

I, um, I heard about
a baby that got scooped up

with the laundry
in another hospital.

I know it's stupid.
I just...I don't know what.

Can you give me
a hand with a squirmer?

Sure.

(female #2)
'Sit still, Jason.'

I just need to
look into your ears.

Do you think it's his adenoids?

'His brother had to have them
taken out his tonsils.'

'Abby, can you hold
him still, please?'

Uh, Haleh, can you
help Carter? Sorry.

Excuse me.

‐ Did you find her?
‐ Not yet.

Okay, I was thinking.
She's sick, right?

So, whoever took her might‐might

take her to a pharmacy
to‐to get some

infant Tylenol and they'll
need diapers and formula‐‐

Right, thanks.

And it also seems
to me that she's not

in the hospital anymore so

shouldn't you guys
be setting up a roadblock

or checking
the neighborhood or‐‐

We're doing everything we can.

But shouldn't we
have heard something by now?

I mean, the chances
of finding her get worse

every‐every
passing second, right?

(Cleo)
'Abby. Abby.'

Did you get the labs
back on the jaundiced guy‐‐

Who?

‐ Jagadeeshan.
‐ No.

Well, could you try
and find them?

No, sorry.

These are the most
recent photos I have.

Can I have them?

Look, uh, I‐I promise to
return them, ma'am.

Please. Thank you.

Mrs. Jeffries, I know
I can't say anything

to change the situation.

I just wanted to tell you
how sorry I am.

‐ She's my only baby.
‐ I know.

I'm sure she's gonna be fine.

Why would somebody
take my baby?

Mr. Kinney can go home.

There's no known cure
for being a pain in the ass.

‐ Any news on the baby?
‐ Uh, nothing yet.

Dr. Greene, labs are
back on that wrestler.

‐ Anything show up?
‐ I don't know.

What were you looking for?

Nothing on the tox screen.

Cholesterol level's
a little high for a teenager.

Too much fast food.

I think he's on steroids.

He's got acute acne,
hirsutism, aggression.

What teenage boy doesn't?

What's the turnaround time
on a steroids test?

‐ Five days?
‐ At least.

Hey, look, if you think
he's using, just ask him.

He might cop to it.

I thought you forgot about me.

Look, man, I need
to go home, alright?

I ordered some tests.

What kind of tests?

The kind that show
that you're using steroids.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

I think you do.

What you might not know is that

you're putting yourself at risk

for kidney failure,
stroke, impotence.

‐ You're crazy.
‐ Where are you going?

‐ Home.
‐ Sit back down, James.

Screw you, man! I'm leaving.

No, you've gotta stay here

until your parents
come and get you.

‐ You called my parents?
‐ Todd left.

Somebody's gotta get you home.

‐ Man, forget this!
‐ Come on.

Leave me alone.

[groaning]

Dr. Greene.

I'm okay, I'm okay.
Just go get him.

(Mark)
'Don't let him leave.'

Hey. Hey, man,
what are you doing?

‐ Leaving.
‐ Why? What are you afraid of?

I'm not afraid of anything.
I just had enough of this place.

We weren't finished
working you up, you know.

I mean, we're only
here to help you, you know.

‐ Then let me go.
‐ What's the big rush?

Hey, hey, look, look.

Just‐just take it easy, alright?

God! Stay out
of my way, man!

‐ Wait, look.
‐ I don't wanna hurt you.

Look, look, look.

Just relax, alright?
Come back inside.

I mean it, man!
You can't keep me here.

My old man will be pissed off
if you don't let me leave.

Your father would want
us to take care of you.

No. That doc is gonna tell
him I'm using steroids!

Look, my old man will
kill me if he finds out.

He doesn't have
to find out, alright?

But he said he was
gonna tell him.

James, you need to
just settle down

and come inside, okay?

Look.

You don't know my father.

He'll kill me
if he finds out.

(Dave)
'You're right,
I don't know your father'

but I know the type.

Trust me, okay? Okay?

We'll work something out,
right, Dr. Greene?

Sure, come on.

You have my word on it.

Deal? Come on.

Hey, who's got
the guy in exam two?

‐ Carter.
‐ Yeah?

He's been restrained
in there for hours.

'I hope so. Did you
see all those bite marks?'

'Those are
self‐inflicted, that guy'

'practically ate himself alive.'

Well, get somebody
from psych down here.

‐ Let's get rid of him.
‐ We've been waiting.

Psych's been slower than usual
answering their consults.

I hear they got
a shake‐up going on up there.

Dr. Legaspi's being fired.

Let's keep gossip
to a minimum, Haleh.

That's not gossip.

The gossip is she's a lesbian.

Legaspi?

(Haleh)
'That's what I heard.'

‐ Hmm, really?
‐ Mm‐hmm.

Follow my finger.

What happened?

(Dave)
'He got whacked
in the head'

'by a patient.'

‐ Show me your teeth.
‐ I'm fine.

You should get a head CT.

Well, I'm sorry
about that, man.

I got a little worked up.

That's what steroid rage
will do to you.

Cleo, could you, uh,
find James a bed, please?

‐ Sure. Come on.
‐ Mark.

You should get a head CT.

He didn't mean it.
He's just scared.

Scared he's gonna get busted?

No, scared he's
gonna get the crap

beat out of him.

The kid's petrified
of his old man.

I got a feeling
he's an abuse case.

Abuse? The kid's a tank.

No, the steroids, the aggression

the whole tough‐guy routine.

It's, uh, it's
a defense mechanism. Trust me.

I don't think you
should tell his parents.

Too late. They're on their way.

What? I said we'd
work something out.

‐ I gave him my word.
‐ Well, you shouldn't have.

He's not your patient.

[coughs]
Tumor.

What was that?

The old Dr. Greene
would've helped this kid.

I am.

Maybe there's something
to this competency stuff, huh?

Keep it up, Malucci.

You'll be looking for a new job.

[camera shutters clicking]

(Dierdre)
'Her name is May.'

'And she's really got
a pretty bad cold, so..'

...if you could just
please return her.

She's just a baby.

'It doesn't matter
why you took her.'

'It's just that she
really needs medication.'

'You could just
bring her back.'

'Have somebody
bring her in.'

'Drop her off
at the police department.'

'Call an ambulance.
She's just sick.'

You should have your coat on.

I'm okay.

Why don't you
come back inside?

Come on, you can
help me cast the twins

who rolled their wagon
down the basement steps.

You should get someone else.

I want you.

Um, uh..

...could you just
leave me alone, please?

I can't do that.

I lost that woman's baby.

‐ No, you didn't.
‐ Yes, I did.

No, you didn't.

(male #3)
'Real nice, James.'

You can't take notes in class.

Dad, it's not that bad.

How we doing in here?

‐ You a nurse?
‐ Doctor.

‐ You Greene?
‐ Malucci.

They told me I'm supposed
to wait here for Dr. Greene.

I was assisting Dr. Greene.

Yeah, fine, whatever.

So, he's gonna be okay or what?

Oh, he dislocated
his hand, but it'll heal.

Hmm, what about his head?

‐ He didn't injure his head.
‐ Oh, no?

Jumping around in
a costume like an idiot

seems like a sign of brain
damage, if you ask me.

Uh, can I speak with you
outside, please?

Yeah.

Get your stuff together.
We're leaving right after this.

What are you doing?

What?

Your son, you know,
hurt himself.

He needs a little
compassion and..

...and you come in here
and you humiliate him.

You don't know him.
He needs discipline.

He's always doing
stupid stuff like this.

You ever wonder why?

Maybe there's a reason
he behaves this way.

Yeah, it's called being crazy

and the cure for it's
a good kick in the ass.

Around here we call
that abuse, man.

‐ Oh, get out of here.
‐ Hold on, where you going?

[grunts]

Go work on your golf game, doc.

Ah!

[crashes]

‐ Golf?
‐ What the hell is going on?

You son of a bitch!
I'm gonna sue your ass.

‐ Kiss it while you're at it.
‐ Malucci, get out of here.

What, the guy's abusing his son!

‐ Malucci, out, now!
‐ Let's go!

‐ Let me take a look at that.
‐ Get away from me!

Ahh!

Are you sure
you've done this before?

‐ Yes.
‐ Ow!

I'm sorry, I'm having a‐a
little trouble finding the vein.

Can I get another nurse
over here, please?

Shh! Let me just
take a little break.

Yeah. Aw!

Is there anything
I can get you?

‐ Just my baby.
‐ Maybe you should go home.

I'm sure someone will
call you if we hear anything.

I don't think
I can leave without her.

Okay.

Oh, not you again.

‐ 'This is County.'
‐ 'County, this is Rescue 62.'

'En route with
what appears to be'

'a three to four‐month
infant girl'

'found abandoned on
the L platform.'

‐ 'What's her status?'
‐ 'Pulse 120, resp's 60.'

'She's got a weak cry
and is cold to the touch.'

Uh‐uh, is there
any sign of trauma?

‐ 'No.'
‐ Is she alert?

'Hard to tell. She's a baby.'

Is she making eye contact?

‐ 'Not really.'
‐ What's your ETA?

(female over radio)
'Less than five.'

‐ Did you talk to Rena?
‐ What?

‐ Your, um, that child life‐‐
‐ No, not yet.

‐ But I'm‐I'm..
‐ Now, where are they?

It's been like,
almost ten minutes.

I think I hear an ambulance.

[ambulance sirens blaring]

Oh, God, I hope it's her.

I'm sure it is.

‐ It's gotta be, right?
‐ Yeah.

I mean, how many kids
can they find in one day?

[banging]

‐ Open up!
‐ Okay, okay.

Pulse ox is down to 89.

‐ Abby, is that her?
‐ It's her.

I need a core temperature.
Put the monitors on her.

And get me a 24‐gauge angiocath.

‐ 'Where did they find her?'
‐ May?

‐ L station. She's freezing.
‐ Everything's gonna be fine.

‐ Malik?
‐ How did she get there?

Whoever stole her probably
panicked and dumped her.

‐ Let the doctors work.
‐ No.

I wanna stay with the baby. May!

Okay, Abby, I got it from here.

I got to start an IV.

I think you should step out.

Let me do this, Luka, please.

(Haleh)
'Hypothermic, core temp 93.'

Okay, put her
on heated humidified O2

get a warm blanket

'some warming lamps
and set up heated'

D five and a half
at 30ccs per hour.

‐ Anything else?
‐ No, that's good.

Okay.

You're okay, May.

Shh, you're safe now.
You're gonna be okay.

Shh, shh, shh.

[speaking baby talk]

You're gonna be okay.

This is pathetic.

Not a single trauma
in the bunch.

Oh! Hello.

That's mine.
What're you doing?

Go home, Dave.

‐ I'm on till 8.
‐ No, you're not.

As a matter of fact you're not
on for the rest of the week.

‐ What, what, says who?
‐ Says me.

Does Weaver know about this?

She will.

Is this because
I defended myself?

‐ 'Mark!'
‐ Goodbye, Dave.

I just heard that
you were attacked.

‐ Why didn't you call me?
‐ No big deal.

I just ran into an elbow.

Did you get a CT?

No, I'm fine, really.

I'm just glad I didn't opt
for the surgical Velcro

when they put
my skull back together.

How are you doing?

Well, Romano's trying
to replace me

um, he wouldn't
let me into surgery

so I spent the day
doing wedding stuff.

You know,
I'm not wearing a kilt.

You'd look really
handsome in a kilt.

Dr. Romano's
looking for you again.

Oh, wonderful.

Hey, uh, Mark,
this came for you today.

I'm gonna be
in Romano's office.

These are my
competency results.

You waited till
the end of the shift?

I‐I'm sorry, I forgot.
I‐I've been busy.

You forgot?
How could you forget?

‐ You wanna open them?
‐ No.

[paper rustles]

Oh, Mark.

I passed!

Don't look so surprised.

Stop it!

What? You had
your doubts, didn't you?

You had your moments.

'Dr. Greene, Dr. Corday,
goodnight.'

Goodnight, Carter.

‐ Hey, where you going, Georgia?
‐ Home.

I guess you're not dying today
after all then, huh?

(Rena)
'John?'

‐ Hey.
‐ Hey.

What're you doing down here?

Looking for you. I'm off.
You almost finished?

Actually, I got like two hours
of chores to finish up here.

Can you do it
over garlic noodles?

I don't think so.

Come on, I'll get some
take‐out, a bottle of wine.

You can do your charts.

Uh, I‐I don't drink.

And it's illegal for you
to purchase alcohol.

‐ The age thing again.
‐ I like you a lot, Rena.

You wish I was older.

I guess I should
enjoy this while it lasts.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..

No, please. Forget it.

I'm young. We heal fast.

‐ I'll see you around.
‐ Alright.

Are Dr. Romano and
Dr. Anspaugh still here?

Uh, they're waiting for you
in the conference room.

Dr. Weaver,
better late than never.

'Let's cut to
the chase, shall we?'

So that we can all get
out of here and go home, okay.

Dr. Legaspi recently,
for whatever reasons

had what I hope..

...was a momentary
lapse in judgment.

‐ I take offense to that.
‐ Really?

Well, I take offense to you
having come out to your patient

which was grossly inappropriate.

Dr. Legaspi is a valuable asset

'to the psychiatry
department as well'

'as this hospital as a whole.'

'I think that
her instincts were correct'

and her intentions
very honorable

considering the situation.

Honorable, perhaps,
stupid, definitely.

(Anspaugh)
'Oh, come on, Robert.'

'Patients with
psychological problems'

'falsely accuse their doctors
of all sorts of things.'

'I had a guy today,
blame me for hypnotizing him'

in order to drink his blood.

Well, we'll have to look
into that another day, Donald

'but the fact is, to
the best of my knowledge'

you are not
actually a vampire.

Dr. Legaspi, however,
is a lesbian, am I right?

'I've never hidden that fact'

from this administration
or my colleagues.

Or from your patients, for that
matter wherein lies the problem.

There's a difference
between being gay

and being a child molester.

Okay, my recommendation
is administrative leave

pending a criminal hearing.

I think that's premature.

No, it's preemptive.

If we get really lucky,
there won't be any charges

and you can come right back to
work having learned a lesson

albeit the hard way.

Do you have anything
to add, Dr. Weaver..

...considering you
are one of them?

‐ Them?
‐ A female physician.

‐ Dealing with female patients.
‐ No.

Yes, I think that Dr. Legaspi..

...is a wonderful doctor

and I don't think that
she did any of the things

that she is accused of doing.

Well, that's well spoken, Kerry.
That's very convincing.

Please remind me never to ask
you to testify on my behalf.

Okay, meeting is adjourned.

I have dinner plans.

Pay no attention to him.

This too, will pass.

I'm sorry.

I'm sor...Kim.

Kim, please don't, Kim.

Please, please, please stop.

I'm so...I'm so sorry.

Let's just get out of here
and talk about this.

There's really nothing
to talk about.

What did you
expect me to say?

I am so sorry, Kim.

Me, too.

Go back to your life, Kerry.

No, don't.
You can't do this.

We have something good.

What? What do we have?

A relationship that
you're ashamed

to acknowledge in public?

I know. You're right.

I wish I could be like you.

I wish I could
be as confident

and secure with this as you are

but I am not you.

I have been on
the outside my whole life

fighting for
acceptance and respect

and now you're asking me
to do it all over again?

I'm not asking you
for anything.

No, please. I just...
I‐I need more time.

I can't...I can't
do this right now.

Please, Kim. Kim.

I missed you.

[baby cooing]

‐ Hi.
‐ She's smiling.

All her tests
came back normal.

She wasn't hurt.
She's gonna be fine.

But I would like to keep her
overnight for observation.

Is that necessary? You just
said she's gonna be okay.

Just a precaution.
I pulled some strings.

And got her a private room
and I'm having them

set up a bed for you too.

Oh, okay, thanks.

Is there anything
else you need?

She's all I need.
