[theme music]

(male narrator)
Previously on "ER.."

There's a couple out there

who desperately
wanna raise a child.

You turned me in?

There's a guy
from the medical board here

questioning my competency.

I hope you don't mind me

spending time with John.

Why would I?

‐ Well, he told me.
‐ Told you what?



About you and him.

I care about you,
I'm‐I'm not interested

in‐in adopting a lifestyle.

Wow, I can't believe
you just said that.

I love you.

I was hoping you'd give me

the joy and honor

of being your husband.

Yes.

[teapot whistles]

‐ 'Damn it!'
‐ Oh! Elizabeth.

Six months ago

this wedding seemed
like a good idea.

Look at me!



What the hell was I thinking?

You look beautiful.

Oh, please.

What could be more perfect

than marrying
the man that you love

while carrying his child?

Yes, well, this love child

also comes
with an extra 40 pounds

and hemorrhoids.

There are some things

I don't need to know.

Where's Mark?

Oh, why don't you

sit down and have some tea?

Oh, so that I can pee
every two minutes

instead of every ten?

Elizabeth, listen to me.

You need to stop.

Take a moment.

Relax.

Enjoy your day!

You're being awfully nice to me.

It only makes me more nervous.

[telephone ringing]

I'll get it.

It is not raining.

‐ Hello?
‐ No, no.

A little mist.
I'm sure it'll blow over.

Have you seen my wallet?
It's not in the car.

‐ No.
‐ Damn it.

It must be in my locker at work.

Uh, everything
will be fine, dear.

Well, let, let‐let me
get your father.

It's Rachel.

Hey, Rach.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down.

What's wrong?

‐ She missed her flight.
‐ No.

I'm sure she can
get another one.

'But perhaps she shouldn't have'

left it until today.

Well, she was starring
in her school play, last night.

Well, that's why
they invented understudies.

Mother.

‐ All I said was that was‐‐
‐ Don't.

Everything's okay.

She's, uh, switching airlines

and she's going
to fly into Midway.

'Give me time
to grab my wallet'

'and then I can swing by
and pick her up.'

Hey, it's no big deal.

Why does it always have
to get so complicated

just at the last minute?

Everything is gonna
go like clockwork.

In a few hours

we're going to be surrounded

by friends and people we love

and your mother.

And the three of us

are going to be married.

(Peter)
'I thought you said
you were covered.'

No.

You told me Malucci
was covering for you.

I said he might cover

my last few hours.

Well, is he or isn't he?

‐ I don't know.
‐ What?

‐ When will you find out?
‐ When he gets here.

Oh, that's great.
Malucci's reliable.

Peter, I have my dress
in the locker.

If I'm ready when
it's time to go, I'll go.

If not, you can go stag.

Hey, hey, uh, does Malucci
have a cell phone?

‐ I don't know, why?
‐ Well, why don't we call him?

(Kerry)
'Three stable,
Waiting for bed'

open radius fracture
on call for the OR.

Gastroenteritis in seven
is being rehydrated.

‐ What about the renal colic?
‐ Discharged.

If you need to reach me,
I'll be at my hotel.

Dr. Weaver, Connie on four.

Okay, tell her she can speak

with Dr. Kovac when she gets in.

‐ Says she has a fever.
‐ Too late.

Her co‐conspirators have used

the last of the backup
registries.

Co‐conspirators?

The nurses are calling in sick

to go to the wedding.

Says she has
a temperature of a 102.

Give it to me.

Connie, I need you in here..

Somebody might wanna
take a look at the guy

in curtain three,
he accidentally used

Bengay instead of Preparation H.

How are you feeling?

Like a Snuffleupagus
on Benadryl.

Go home, take a nap
before the wedding.

[coughing]
We're already down a few nurses.

Hey, we're slow.
We'll float someone.

Come on. I saw you yesterday
trying to change your shift.

I'm gonna wait
till she goes home.

She won't see you there,
she has to miss

the wedding
for a billing conference.

Luka, she wasn't invited.

Okay, okay, fine.
Fine, go ahead.

But I want a note from a doctor

and if you show up
in any of the wedding pictures

you're fired!

Oh.

[theme music]

Hey, Mark. Shouldn't you be..

Oh, uh, forgot my wallet.
You going someplace?

Yeah, reimbursement
strategies conference.

‐ The one in Las Vegas?
‐ Yeah, I missed it last year.

I thought it would
be the best way

to put a dent in our deficit.

Uh, well, play
a hand of Blackjack for me.

Sure. Hey, Mark.

I want you to know how happy
I am for you and Elizabeth.

Thanks.

Dr. Greene, you're here.
Wow, that's devotion.

‐ You never saw me.
‐ Uh, okay. Got it.

(Abby)
'Jing‐Mei,
that pilonidal cyst in three'

isn't going anywhere.

Hmm. Uh, new rule.

Anything that involves pus
waits until after lunch.

Can you see that Mr. Tuttle
gets a sandwich?

The unborn twin inside
of his stomach is hungry.

Okay, uh, can you wait
over there, please?

(man over radio)
'County Base,
this is Rescue 43.'

County Base,
go ahead on Bravo One.

'County Base, with the..'

So, you taking the cheerleader?

What?

To the wedding.

Or are they carding?

Et tu, Deb?

You have to admit
she gives new meaning

to the term girlfriend.

‐ And who are you taking?
‐ I'm not.

Someone has to stay
here and hold down the fort.

‐ Not invited?
‐ Amira, find Luka now.

What is it?

Prison van went over
an embankment.

Two are on their way. They wanna
know how many more we can take.

Three major, ten minor.

‐ Tell 'em.
‐ I should ask Luka.

‐ Three major, ten minor.
‐ Are you sure?

This is County Base, we can take

a total of three major,
ten minor, over.

'Got it, rescue 43 out.'

(Mark)
'Whoa, whoa, whoa.'

Hold on, hold on.
Whoa, whoa, wait.

‐ That's my van.
‐ You can't read?

‐ I'm a doctor here.
‐ Well.

‐ Then you should know better.
‐ Look, come on.

I'm getting married today.
Give me a break.

Congratulations.

Let me get my tux out.

Dr. Greene, what are you doing?

He towed my van!

Aren't you supposed to be
getting ready or something?

Yeah, I just came in to grab
my wallet and he tows my van.

‐ You wanna take my car?
‐ 'Continue CPR. Keep bagging'

‐ This from the prison van?
‐ 'Yeah, the driver.'

(female #1)
'Blunt chest trauma.'

‐ Ah, damn it.
‐ What?

Uh, Rachel, she's
stuck in St. Louis.

‐ I gotta call her.
‐ No seat belt.

Lost the pulse two minutes out.
First epi's onboard.

Well?

You're getting married.

[sighs]

It's not exactly
what I had in mind

when I used to imagine it.

I still remember you
running around the house

with one of your ballet tutus
on your head

pretending it was
a wedding veil.

[chuckles]

If I'm not mistaken

weren't you going to marry

that little freckle‐faced boy

who lived down the street?

Tommy Bradshaw.

Oh, I wonder whatever
happened to Tommy.

He was indicted
for insurance fraud.

Oh! Well, there you are.

Things have already turned out

better than you expected.

I wish your father
could see you.

Yeah. Well, maybe he couldn't
get another flight.

Oh, I'm sure he has some excuse.

He always does.

Mother.

You're right. I'm sorry.

I simply can't believe

that he wouldn't at least

have made the effort.

Oh, now.

Don't start crying.

I'll be doing plenty of that

for the both of us.

This is your day.

Your hair is perfect.

Your dress is wonderful.

This color looks
fabulous on you.

Yeah, well, I didn't
have much choice, did I?

Had I worn white, I'd have
looked

like I could sink the Titanic.

[laughing]

Only one thing missing.

What's that?

They belonged
to your grandmother.

She wore them
for her wedding, as did I.

Now I know you're
not one for tradition

but if you were thinking
of...something old

something new,
something borrowed‐‐

They're beautiful.

Thank you.

It's okay.
It's okay, honey.

Don't worry.
We're going to make a video.

You can watch that.

Complains of neck
and chest pain.

BP's 124/82, pulse 90.

Miss, are you short of breath?

Hurts when I inhale, ow!

‐ What is it?
‐ My arm.

Pupils are equal and reactive.

Trauma panel, C‐spine,
portable chest.

Dip a urine.

‐ Any pain back here?
‐ Oh, a lot, oh.

We're going to keep this on
until we clear your X‐ray.

What's wrong with my wrist?

‐ Which one?
‐ Left.

‐ Can we take these cuffs off?
‐ Not a chance.

‐ Any O‐neg in here?
‐ Two in the cooler.

My guy's in arrest.

She may have a wrist injury.

She probably did that herself.

'She was in a major trauma.'

'I need to assess her.'

I could only get two units.

Alright, normal saline,
wide open, hang the blood.

Amp of epi and 100 of Lido.

‐ Whoa. That's weird.
‐ Is he gonna be okay, doc?

Yeah, badge must've impacted

on the steering column.

Okay, clear!

He's got blunt chest trauma.

‐ No vitals.
‐ Vasopressin, 40 IV.

‐ 'Hey, doc.'
‐ Yep.

'What should I tell his family?'

Just tell them that we're doing
everything that we can.

Charging again to 360.

And clear.

Got a rhythm. Sinus at 50.

Get a pulse?

Nope.

Shot twice on the job

and now the weather kills him.

Okay, let's run the O‐neg again.

I'm gonna resume CPR.

‐ He's PEA, Carter.
‐ Yeah.

So, try another mig of Atropine.

[intense music]

I hope you're joking.

Oh, well, would you check again?

What is it?

Eh, then I suggest you do that.

‐ Yes, I'll hold.
‐ Is it the limo?

Apparently, they don't
have your booking.

Like hell they don't!
Give it to me.

You don't need
to concern yourself.

‐ I'll take care of it.
‐ No, I'll do it.

I don't want you
upsetting yourself.

I won't, here.

Yes. yes!

No, well, I booked
this limousine months ago.

I gave you a deposit.

Yes, and when you
cashed my check

you guaranteed me
you'd be here to pick me up.

No! no, I don't care

if it's raining fire
and brimstone.

You are going to get me
to that church

if I have to ride
on your back

like a bloody donkey!

Perhaps you should
eat something.

I do not need to eat.

Nor do I need a spot of tea

or a, or a moment's
quiet reflection

on this, my special day.

This is America and sometimes

in this country you have
to kick some ass.

We'll take your car
and get there early.

Fine.
Fine, okay.

But unless you can
drive stick shift

on the right‐hand side
of the road

I am doing the driving.

Elizabeth, you can't possibly
drive in your condition.

Get your purse, grab
the flowers and let's go.

[telephone rings]

Now, listen here,
you ignorant bastard‐‐

(Mark)
'What's wrong?'

Oh, Mark. Sorry.

Uh, nothing, nothing.

Um, where are you?

'At the hospital.'

Both the airports are closed

because of the storm

and the flights
from St. Louis

have been canceled.

Oh, no.

'Rachel's pretty upset.'

Oh, I'm sorry.

'Well, what can you do?'

Do you want to postpone?

No, no, no. Do you?

No, no, but, uh, if all
the airports are closed

then other guests won't be able
to make it either.

Well, if, uh, I mean

if you want to wait..

'No, no. I don't want to wait.'

Neither do I.

‐ 'You sure?'
‐ Let's get married.

Okay.

'I'll see you walking
down the aisle then?'

I'll be hard to miss.

I love you.

I love you, too.

‐ Smart move.
‐ What's that?

Not telling her
about the tow truck.

Don't need to stress out brides

any more than you have to.

Especially pregnant ones.

Need an umbrella?

‐ You have one?
‐ Yeah.

You're transporting them
without backboards?

(male #1)
'Medics cleared
the necks on‐site.'

Was this a work detail?

No, busy court day.

‐ I'll work for you, honey.
‐ Hey, nice stethoscope.

Let's shut the pie‐holes,
ladies.

Yosh, can you
put them somewhere?

This way.

Hey, we gonna play
doctor with you?

Not a chance.

What have you got?

Tammy Gabbard, 19.

Alert, oriented times three.

Complaining of belly pain
and a scalp lac.

I need to call Joe.

‐ 'Vitals?'
‐ BP 120/80.

‐ Brief LOC.
‐ 'Ooh, nice umbrella.'

Hey, Mark, you still here?

Not anymore.

(male #2)
'Don't bother.'

Why, what happened?

Closed, tree fell
on the track near Cermak.

Shorted out The Red Line.

How long is it gonna be down?

Hold on.

Let me on.

Wait for the next one, pal.

I‐I got to get to my wedding.

‐ That's original.
‐ It's true.

Why else would I be
carrying this tux?

Look, they towed my car.
The L is down.

Right.

Make room! Make room!

Dead man walking!

Thanks.

‐ 'Second chest tube is in.'
‐ Back in V‐fib.

Alright, charge again. Clear!

C‐spine, type
and cross times four.

360, charge it again, clear!

‐ Where are you, Carter?
‐ V‐fib, correcting volume loss.

‐ Pulse Ox is down to 75.
‐ Did he ever have a rhythm?

PEA for five minutes, then he
degenerated back into V‐fib.

‐ How long has he been down?
‐ 30 minutes.

No response to defibrillation
times five.

Okay, call it. Take her.

'Head injury and
abdominal trauma.'

'BP's dropping.'

Charge again to 360.

‐ Here we go, clear!
‐ Carter, now.

He may have a pericardial
effusion or an aortic tear.

‐ You're done, Carter.
‐ He's a cop.

He's brain‐dead.

Time of death, 14:58.

Let me see the X‐ray
before you clear her C‐spine.

(female #2)
'Okay'

Excuse me.

Another beer.

Shady.

Five down.

Oh.

Yes, thank you.

Stuck on a layover?

No, my flight's delayed.

You mean canceled.

No, it still says delayed.

Ah, an optimist.

Where are you trying to get to?

Uh, Las Vegas.

Oh, so you're not an optimist.

It's a compulsion.

What do you play?

Uh, I'm going
there on business.

Mm, and whatever
the lady's drinking.

Oh, no, thank you.

‐ We may be here for a while.
‐ I'm fine, thanks.

Well, either he's getting
a very big tip or..

...you're getting a free drink.

Excuse me.

BP's 90/75.

Has anybody called Joe?

We can't do that, Gabbard.

‐ Who's Joe?
‐ My fiancé.

Meth‐dealing lowlife.

She got nailed
for holding his drugs.

‐ He was set up, ow!
‐ 'Uh‐huh.'

Wait, we got some tenderness
and some guarding

in the left upper quadrant.

Let's call for surgical consult
and get a CT.

Dr. Carter, you got
a dislocated shoulder

'waiting in curtain three,
she's in a lot of pain.'

I'm off. Grab Chen.

Dr. Kovac asked for you

'to take it before you left.'

Okay, we're gonna get
an X‐ray of your abdomen

and then another doctor's
going to come and assess you.

Okay? Have surgery see her.

And I'll sign her out to Deb.

‐ But you're calling Joe?
‐ I will.

Carter, IV and oral...contrast?

Yeah, check her BUN
and creatinine

I thought you were going home.

We're still short a few nurses

and the storm isn't helping.

Your boyfriend didn't
give you permission?

‐ I haven't asked.
‐ Well, you should.

‐ You're looking worse.
‐ Excuse me.

‐ While I complete my penance.
‐ He's not doing that.

‐ Oh, you don't think so?
‐ 'John.'

‐ Hi.
‐ Hey.

‐ You look...great.
‐ Thanks.

‐ Yeah, you do.
‐ Thank you.

Are you sick?

Um, it's just a cold.

You're not going
to the wedding?

No, I don't think
I'm gonna be able to go.

Can you tell them?
Can you tell them

I'm sorry and congratulate them?

Yeah.

Are you ready?

Yeah, in a minute, uh..

wanna give me a hand
for a second?

Alright, sure.

Hi, Veronica, I'm Dr. Carter.

This is Rena, she's helping out
in the ER today.

‐ Well‐dressed candy striper.
‐ Yeah.

Let's take a look
at that shoulder, huh?

‐ Ooh, Ah, ah.
‐ Okay, okay, okay.

We're not gonna do that again.

Have you been given
any pain medication yet?

Hmm, nurse said
you could use a local.

I could, but local anesthesia

is not very effective
with this type of injury.

Ah!

[grunts]

I've been clean for a year.

Heroin.

Okay.

Well, maybe we can try

a mild sedative like Valium.

No, man, the taste
will bring me back.

I can't be using on the inside.

Ow.

Well, that was almost fun.

I thought I was past
morning sickness.

Well, I offered to call a cab.

I've never seen it
rain this hard.

Why brides get married in June.

I'll be breast‐feeding
a four‐week‐old in June.

[grunting]

Hello?

Perhaps we should've
called ahead.

It's not a restaurant, mother.

They are expecting us.

‐ Then why are the doors locked?
‐ Hello!

I'd recognize
that bickering anywhere.

Daddy!

I didn't think you'd be here!

I wouldn't have missed
this day for anything.

‐ You look radiant.
‐ Oh!

Belle.

It's been a while.

Yes, ten years, I believe.

You popped by for Elizabeth's
med school graduation.

I'm so happy you're both here.

I'd prefer it if I didn't
have to separate you

so, please be at least civil

to each other
until the reception.

Hopefully, I'll be drunk then.

‐ No doubt.
‐ Good behavior.

‐ I'm serious.
‐ Of course.

Do I get to meet the groom

before I hand you over?

Mark's not here?

[indistinct chatter]

‐ Your umbrella is poking me.
‐ Sorry.

Ah, ooh.

Oh, for Pete's sakes, leave it.

The damn things give
you brain cancer.

Can somebody ask the driver
what the problem is?

Excuse me, coming through.

Hey, watch it!

Sorry, excuse me.

Excuse me.

Why isn't the bus moving?

Engine's seized.

So, we're broken down?

Another bus on the way.

When?

When it gets here.

‐ Let me out.
‐ Raining like hell out there.

I know, thanks. Let me out?

[horn honking]

Lungs are fine. Neck is clear.

We can take off the collar.

I think I broke
something in here.

I couldn't walk at all.

Hmm, any pain in your abdomen?

Uh‐huh.

(male #3)
'Yeah, she hurts everywhere.'

Alright, tell me
if this is tender.

Wait, lower.

Ow! Right there, right there.

Send her for an AP‐pelvis.

I wanna rule out
a ramus fracture.

We're gonna get an X‐ray, Sara.

She's playing you, doc.

You've had a C‐section?

Yeah. So?

Any chance you're pregnant now?

No.

I got fixed, after Diana.

‐ Mm.
‐ I got pictures.

But these cuffs...ow!

Save it, Morris.

I'm missing my visit

with her right now.

I don't know
when I'll see her next.

Why?

My sister's moving to LA.

And there's no one else
to take care of her.

She's seven.

I got four years mandatory

before I see her again.

You should've thought of that
before you broke parole.

I just wanted to see her
today, that's all.

She's probably better off.

Shut up!

You shut up, ow!

‐ Just shut up.
‐ Sara.

Sara, I'm gonna come back

after the X‐ray, okay?

[sobbing]

Alright, just keep
giving resistance

to the pressure I apply, okay?

'Veronica, are you ready?'

‐ Do‐do it.
‐ Okay, here we go.

[groaning]

Whoa, no, no, no.
You've got to keep pulling.

‐ Right, okay, sorry.
‐ 'Okay?'

(Carter)
'Here we go.'

[groaning]

That's it.
Just hold it right there, Rena.

She needs more sedation, Carter.

She's a former addict.
Doesn't want any narcotics.

I gave her a local.

‐ She needs more than that.
‐ I offered, she refused.

‐ Stop.
‐ I almost got it.

Stop!

Abby!

She specifically asked me
not to administer narcotics.

‐ Give her ten of morphine.
‐ No. No. Keep going.

We need to relax you to pop
your shoulder back into place.

She's my patient, I'm just
trying to respect her wishes.

If we don't, you can end up
with permanent nerve damage.

[groaning]

Okay. Okay.

Push the morphine, Abby.

Okay. You know what?
I'm off the clock.

She's all yours.
I'm out of here. Let's go.

I had a dream last night

that I'd be in a car wreck,
but I'd survive.

My grandmother was like that.

She could predict
when her cat would get sick.

In the dream,
I strangled a female doctor

with my bare hands.

Hey, Cleo. Is Malucci here yet?

No. We're done.

Someone will be back to fit
you for crutches.

Just, sit tight.

Maybe you should get dressed
now, that way as soon as

he gets here we can take off.

Peter, I'm thinking
this might not happen.

Between the storm
and how swamped we are

maybe you should
go ahead without me.

Are you serious?

Yeah. Malucci
only said he'd try.

He couldn't promise. What?

‐ Oh..
‐ What?

Oh, Cleo, come on. I mean

that would've been nice to know.

Yeah, well,
it would've been nice

if you'd asked me to go
in the first place.

What are you talking
about? I did.

No, you RSVP'd and told me
to save the date.

‐ Cindy Purcelli?
‐ 'Right here.'

Alright, so what are you saying?
You don't wanna go?

I don't have a compelling need

to attend your
ex‐girlfriend's wedding.

Cleo, come on. I mean, we dated.

There's no big deal.
She's getting married.

‐ Peter.
‐ Alright, hey.

Listen, if you don't wanna go

just, just say
you don't want to go.

‐ Alright.
‐ Alright, what?

‐ I don't wanna go.
‐ Fine.

‐ Amira, I need a car.
‐ What are you doing back?

A car. I need to borrow
someone's car.

Peter!
Peter can I borrow your car?

‐ I‐I need to get to the church.
‐ I'm on my way now.

Right. Uh, perfect.
Can you take me?

‐ Come on.
‐ I'll just change in your car.

[panting]

Where's Cleo?

‐ Are people arriving?
‐ A few.

‐ Any sign of Mark?
‐ He'll be here.

Where's Isabelle?

Oh, she went off
looking for someone

to complain to
about the temperature.

[chuckles]

So? I'm going to be
a grandfather.

This won't
affect my dating, will it?

[laughs]
One can only hope.

Yes, well, maybe
I'll be better at it.

'A generation removed.'

Parenting.

Listen, I didn't turn out
that badly, did I?

That was luck.

'You gonna continue
to practice..'

...after the baby's born?

Eventually.

‐ What?
‐ Nothing.

That's good.

I know what you're thinking.

For years I criticized
you and mummy

for all the time
you spent working

and now I'm about
to do the same.

I'm sure you'll
strike a better balance.

‐ You don't believe that.
‐ Actually, I do.

(Peter)
'No answer?'

(Mark)
'Just the
church service schedule.'

Elizabeth is gonna be on
the verge of a meltdown.

Yeah, I bet.

Between the weather,
and her mother

and her father,
who I've yet to meet.

‐ Oh, he's okay.
‐ You know him?

‐ Yeah, I met him.
‐ That's right.

Why aren't we moving!

We should've taken
the expressway.

You told me not to
take the expressway.

I know, I know.

‐ Is he a nice guy?
‐ Who?

‐ Elizabeth's dad.
‐ Oh, uh, yeah, he seemed nice.

That's good.

'Cause her mother
can really be a piece of work.

[chuckles]
Yeah.

What is it with women
and their mothers?

I mean, I got along with my mom.

‐ You?
‐ She was the best.

Must be a chick thing.

And weddings
really bring it out.

[sighs]

‐ So, have you met Cleo's mom?
‐ No.

'Really?'

I thought you guys were, uh,
you know pretty serious.

What the hell is the problem?

[horns blaring]

This isn't going to
leave a scar, is it?

Not that you'd notice.

A nurse will be by
to put on a dressing.

Jing‐Mei, we've got a
hypothermic ten year old

coming in.

‐ ETA?
‐ Mm, ten to fifteen.

Okay, set up some warm saline.

‐ 'Close the exit!'
‐ 'Stop!'

‐ No!
‐ 'Morris!'

'Run, now, Morris!'

[dramatic music]

(female #3)
'Get some cuffs on her.'

‐ Leave me alone! Let me go!
‐ What happened?

Jumped off the table during
X‐ray and took off running.

She bit me. The bitch bit me.

You're hurting her. Stop it!

I gotta go see
my daughter. Please.

‐ 'Aah!'
‐ 'Where's the cuffs?'

‐ 'Stop!'
‐ I'm missing my daughter. No!

[sobbing]

Come on.

(Sara)
'Please!
I have to see my daughter.'

'Ah, I have to see her.'

[indistinct chatter]

(Mike)
'How's that wine?'

Oh, it was very nice, thanks.

I'm getting a refill.
You want one?

No, I really shouldn't.

Oh, come on, you're not driving.

‐ You're tenacious.
‐ Is that a yes?

Okay. Only if I buy this round.

Even better.

Uh, excuse me.
Two more, please.

‐ May I?
‐ Sure.

‐ I'm Mike.
‐ Hi, Mike. I'm Kerry.

‐ Your working on your novel?
‐ Uh, no.

No, I was just
writing a letter to a friend.

E‐mail or actual letter writing?

‐ An actual letter.
‐ 'Lost arts.'

The last letter I wrote
was to Marcia Brady.

‐ Did she write you back?
‐ Nope.

‐ Never really got over it.
‐ Oh, I'm sorry.

So, what do you do when you're
not writing letters, Kerry?

‐ Uh, I'm, uh, I'm a doctor.
‐ Really?

Yeah, emergency medicine.

Brains, too.

‐ That's impressive.
‐ Thanks.

‐ Damn it!
‐ What?

It's dead. I dropped it
and it must have..

‐ Argh!
‐ Alright, calm down.

‐ There's nothing you can do.
‐ I'm missing it.

‐ No, you're not.
‐ It‐it started, Peter.

‐ Obviously, it hasn't.
‐ I am screwed.

She'll wait, Mark.

Mark, what are you doing?

'Mark!'

[horns blaring]

Mark, get off my car.

I'm trying to see
what the hang up is.

‐ Mark, get down!
‐ I think I see lights.

‐ Maybe cops, maybe a rig.
‐ 'Mark, get down.'

Now! Come on, man, get down.

(male #4)
'Approximately,
seven year old male.'

'Environmental exposure with
secondary hypothermia.'

‐ This is ice.
‐ Rain's freezing everything.

Any idea how long
he's been down?

Groundskeeper found him
down in the soccer field.

No ID. Guess he was at the game
that got rained out.

‐ Where's the rest of his team?
‐ Or his parents?

BP is 70 palp. Core temp is 86.

Pupils are slow, but reactive.
Set up for re‐warming.

Start a second line of warm
saline and put in a Foley.

Yeah, he's about 80 pounds,
soaking wet.

I'll be right there.

Yeah, let's, uh, get him out
of these wet clothes.

She just wants to see you.
Is that so hard?

Yeah, I know
it's been a long time.

How many years
has she served for you?

Hello?

‐ Jerk.
‐ Who's a jerk?

Nobody.

‐ Your feeling any better?
‐ No.

Why don't you go lie
down in the lounge?

I'll take you home
when I'm done.

Okay. I just have
to finish this first.

Are you mad at me?

Me? No.

You were a little
hard on Carter.

He wasn't listening to me.

He's a good doctor.

And, uh, he's been here
for a long time.

‐ And I'm his attending.
‐ I know.

It's just..

He's my friend.

So?

(Carter)
'I don't know.
He's a nice enough guy.'

but he's gotta let me do my job.

‐ Isn't he your supervisor?
‐ Technically.

So, this has nothing to do with
him dating your ex‐girlfriend?

No. No, actually, Abby
and I never really went out.

‐ You said you did.
‐ Yeah, I made that up.

Why would you make that up?

I'll explain it to you later?

So, you'd like
to go out with her?

Uh, I..
Hey, Dave.

Hey! Carter, nice weather, huh?

‐ Do you know Rena?
‐ Yeah. Hey, how you doing?

Fine, thanks.

I didn't think you were coming.

Um, I called Cleo.
She didn't need me to cover.

And a couple of girls from uncle
Sal's party like weddings, so..

Did you RSVP for them?

Ah, I figure with
the rain there's bound

to be a couple
of no‐shows, right?

And a few extra butts
in the pews couldn't hurt.

You know where
I could dump this?

Uh...they'll probably

have a gift table
at the reception.

What, I'm supposed
to lug this around till then?

It's heavy. You didn't buy
them a crock pot, did you?

No, no. We got them
something off the registry.

Yeah, I'm not into that. Here's
a list of things to buy me.

It's a little dickie.

Evening, gentlemen.

What? Didn't think
I'd be invited?

‐ So, where's the bride?
‐ Uh, she's in waiting.

‐ Dr. Greene hasn't shown yet.
‐ Really?

Well, if he's smart
he's halfway to Mexico by now.

[indistinct chattering]

[horns blaring]

(female #4)
'You mean, ex‐wife.
You cheating, son of a bitch.'

Kept ramming me over and over,
completely out of control.

(female #4)
'How much control do you have
over your zipper, Kevin?'

Look at this!

You know, you can
take your precious

midlife crisis car
and shove it up your ass

along with your
midlife crisis slut.

[indistinct chatter]

Excuse me. How long before
you clear up the streets?

Sir, would you step off
to the side, please?

Listen, I'm getting
married in 15 minutes.

‐ Get back to your car.
‐ Nothing's moving.

'Cause I'm waiting
for a tow truck.

Hey, I'm a doctor
at County General.

What's the chance of one
of you guys giving me a lift?

You're joking, right?

I heard he's awake.
What are his vitals?

‐ BP's 100/70. Temp's 97.
‐ Good.

Hey.

Hi. I'm Dr. Chen.

You're in a hospital.

You were very cold so we had to
warm you up through your tummy.

It might hurt for a while,
but you're going to be okay.

Can you tell me your name?

Bryan...Cooley.

Bryan...do you remember
what happened?

I was waiting.

I think I fell
asleep on the field.

What were you waiting for?

They were supposed
to pick me up.

Who? Your teammates?

My parents.

They forgot.

Well, there's a pretty
bad storm outside.

Maybe they were
just running late.

No. They work a lot.

Sometimes they forget.

‐ 'Were you denying?'
‐ 'I had to work late.'

‐ Doris.
‐ Dr. Greene.

‐ What are you doing here?
‐ I'm stuck.

Can you give me
a ride to Northbrook?

That's outside
my catchment area.

I'm trying to get
to my wedding.

‐ When?
‐ Now.

Oh, okay, if you help
me clear the scene.

Sure. Let's hurry.

Screwing your dental
hygienist was an accident?

‐ 'You're crazy. You know that?'
‐ 'Yeah, I am crazy.'

'Staying home,
having your baby.'

‐ We need to check you over.
‐ I'm fine.

Hey, just let her
check your vital signs.

Let him bleed.

If everything's okay

then you can take
yourself to the hospital.

‐ Who the hell are you?
‐ I'm a doctor.

‐ Did you hit your head?
‐ What do you think?

Mark, what are you doing?

I'm gonna catch
a ride with Doris

once we clear these two.

No, I got it.
Go wait in the car.

No, check her out.
Did you loose consciousness..

Ma'am, I'm a doctor.
Is there any pain?

Where is the little whore?

Getting more ass fat
put in her lips?

Yeah, she didn't slam
her car into anybody

you psychotic bitch!

Hold still,
we need to check your head.

He doesn't think
with that head. Ah!

Ma'am, are you all right?

‐ 'Okay, come on, come on.'
‐ Oh, my God.

‐ What is it?
‐ I think my water broke.

‐ When are you due?
‐ Tuesday.

‐ Is this your first baby?
‐ No, I gave this bastard a son.

How long was your first labor?

‐ Oh, boy.
‐ What is it?

The baby's doing somersaults.

Oh...sit down.

What's wrong?

Your grandchild
is getting restless.

He's not the only one.

Have we heard
anything from the groom?

I'm sure he'll
be here momentarily.

We'll let you know.

'Make yourself useful, Charles.'

'Get us a glass of water.'

I hope Mark
didn't get cold feet.

Oh, no.

Surely he would have called
if there was a problem.

Yes, well, he's not
answering his cell phone.

He probably left
it at work with his wallet.

Men get just as nervous
as women on their wedding day.

Right, Charles?

Well, to be honest, I was
never more...more anxious.

'Practically forgot
it was our wedding day.'

Well, in retrospect that
could've been wishful thinking.

In hindsight, it would've saved
me several years of grief‐‐

Stop it, please, the two of you,
just for one day.

‐ We were teasing.
‐ Well, don't. It's not funny.

Oh, he'll be here,
Elizabeth. Don't fret.

But I do fret.
Every time he's late, I fret.

Every time he slurs a word

or‐or, or gets tired,
or bumps his head, I fret.

I'm about to get married
and I'm afraid.

Not of being with him,
but of being without him.

I'm afraid he won't be
around to raise this child.

But you told me the last
MRI showed no recurrence.

These new therapies
offer a long survival.

We don't know
that for sure, do we?

Oh, darling...don't
start crying now

or we'll never get
through with the ceremony.

Say something, Charles.

You're going to have
a wonderful life together.

Your mother and I
love you very much, Elizabeth

and we will always
be there for you.

You know that.

Breathe! Just relax!
Blow through the pain.

I have to bring her in.

But, if you come with us
I'll give you a ride..

I can't go back to County.

I'm better off
riding with Peter.

‐ I have the lights and sirens.
‐ Right.

‐ Go, go. Good luck.
‐ Thanks.

‐ Brenda?
‐ 'Don't talk to me.'

‐ I‐I want to come with her.
‐ We're full.

‐ Keep him away.
‐ 'She's my wife.'

Radio County, have
them call the church

and tell Elizabeth where I am.

‐ Brenda!
‐ 'Go away.'

[groans]

Let's go.

[siren wailing]

(Jing‐Mei)
'He was found unconscious
on a soccer field.'

I thought his mother
was picking him up.

He was hypothermic,
but we managed to bring

his body temperature
back to normal.

So, he'll be alright?

We'd like to keep him
overnight for observation.

He thinks you forgot about him.

I guess we did.

(Mr. Cooley)
'It's just, uh..'

...it's been a real
bad few months.

Mr. Cooley, Bryan almost died.

He understands you both are very
busy and you work a lot, but‐‐

His mother and I are
going through a divorce.

We haven't told him yet.

That doesn't mean
you can forget about him.

Dr. Chen, we've got a mother in
active labor following an MVA.

‐ When?
‐ Just rolled in.

‐ Excuse me. Is she full term?
‐ Mm‐hmm.

Contractions every eight minutes
according to Dr. Greene.

Who?

Thirty two year old, G‐2,
P‐1, fetal heart tones 140.

‐ BP's 120/80.
‐ I have to push.

No, no, Brenda. Not yet.

You gotta wait
until we get upstairs.

‐ I can't hold it.
‐ Yes, you can.

‐ What happened to you?
‐ Oh, nothing. I'm fine.

Mark! We'll take it from here.
Go to your wedding.

‐ I need my gurney.
‐ Take it later. Go.

(Abby)
'Good luck, Dr. Greene.'

You know, I‐I need a shirt.

(Abby)
'Luka, give him‐give him yours.'

‐ What?
‐ Give him your shirt.

Is this a private party?

Uh, mummy, daddy,
I think you know Dr. Romano.

Yes. I believe you were
operating on a dog

last time we met.

That's right, you were
in town attending

an astrology conference.

Astronomy.

Well, anyway, I don't wanna
break up this love fest.

I just, uh, your‐your guests
are getting ready

to eat each other out there.

Now, I have 50 bucks
Greene will be a no‐show.

Robert.

But unfortunately we just heard

from the ER and it seems

that your ex‐boyfriend

and your future hubby

'have decided to play paramedic'

'back on the way to the church.'

‐ He's with Peter?
‐ Not anymore.

Greene is still out there

saving some
pregnant woman or something.

What?

Suffice it to say if you

give him a few more minutes

I'm going to lose that bet.

Oh, uh..

...you look
beautiful, Elizabeth.

Thank you, Robert.

Greene's a lucky man.

I know.

I always wanted
to move to Florida.

Just get away
from the ice and snow.

(Mike)
'Why didn't you?'

I don't know, it just
never worked out.

I know what you mean.

By this time, I always thought

that I'd be married
with two kids and a dog.

Well, you can always
get the dog.

[laughing]
That's true enough.

How about you?

You don't live with,
like 50 cats or anything?

[laughing]
No.

I didn't think so.

Too pretty to be
one of those crazy cat ladies.

[indistinct announcement on PA]

I guess you were right..

...some of those flights
were just delayed.

That was mine.

Maybe when we're both in town
again, we could have dinner?

Since we've already had drinks.

Uh, I'm not so sure
that that would work out.

Oh, uh, okay.

Well, thanks for the drink.

And thanks
for the company. Really.

Um, if you ever change your mind

or you find yourself
stranded in an airport..

‐ Enjoy Las Vegas, Kerry.
‐ Thanks.

[woman on PA]
'Attention all passengers..'

[groans]

My last jailbird had
an ingrown hair on her groin.

‐ How lucky is that?
‐ Hey.

‐ What happened to you?
‐ Has anyone seen Dr. Finch?

‐ I think she's in the lounge.
‐ Oh, great.

Whoa.

Peter, what are you doing here?

There was an accident.
Wh‐where are you going?

On my way to meet you
at the reception.

Oh, really?

Yeah. Do you think
it's too late?

No, no, no, I don't
think it's too late.

‐ Good.
‐ Whoa, whoa, whoa.

What makes you think
I still want to?

Because you like
to dance with me.

‐ Oh, I do, do I?
‐ Yeah. Let's go.

You know you're
looking good, right?

Thanks. You look wet.

You mind if we stop
at my place so I can change?

‐ We'll take my car.
‐ Okay. Give me the keys.

‐ You're not driving.
‐ Of course, I am.

Why does a guy automatically
think he has to drive?

Hi. Linda?

Yeah, Hi. This is Jing‐Mei Chen.

No, no, everything's fine.

Um, it's just, uh I thought
I'd call and, um..

I got your card.

Oh, yeah. He's beautiful.

Is that him?

Ah, he's laughing already?

Oh, wow.

Hmm. Really?

[siren wailing]

‐ Thanks.
‐ Your jacket. Your jacket!

‐ Oh.
‐ Good luck.

[applauding]

‐ Are you Mark?
‐ Yes.

‐ Glad you could make it.
‐ Sorry.

[Instrumental "Wedding March"]

[music continues]

Good luck.

Nice of you to show up.

It was raining.

Dearly beloved, we have come
together in the presence of God

to witness and bless
the joining together..

[theme music]
