Open Heart (2015): Season 1, Episode 1 - Last Things First, Part One - full transcript

A rebel girl named Dylan joins Open Heart hospital service and begins to discover secrets about her father's disappearance. While her grandparents make a plan to bring their family as close as possible to strengthen their bonds an...

- Go go go! Hurry up with the lock...
- Hold it steady.

Maybe shine the light in
my bag not my eyes, genius.

I can't see anything!

Our point!

Dylan, looks like he's
gonna do something crazy! Yo!

Better hurry up, dude!

I got it! I got it! Move,
move, move! Get out of my way!

Dylan don't!

Great.

You know, my plan was to get us
in without tripping the alarm.

Well, sometimes alarms get tripped.



Maybe if you had just picked the lock...

Yeah, instead of buying it dinner first.

We should bail.

Give me the list.

Whoa! Ha ha!

Oh great. Do you know who this is?

The monitoring station! Now what, genius?

Give me the phone! Give me the phone!

Um, okay.

Hi, yes, this is about the alarm, isn't it?

I am so sorry, my son broke the
window with the fireplace poker.

Yes, the security code is 5983.

The security question?

Paternal grandfather's birthday. Right.



Let's bail!

Um, is this necessary...

I mean, I... no, no, no.
It's fine don't send anybody.

It's...

Um... it's December 13th.

Please, please, please!

Yes... I see... Thank you.

We're in.

Yes! Whooo!

Easy, Rayna!

Maybe cool it on the fun pills.

Where would we be without
our Dylan looking out for us?

Oh, hm-hm.

Okay, sweetie!

What, are you allergic to fun?

Go break something, Teddy.

- Oh!
- You smell like jager.

Ow!

Rayna!

Oh my God!

Oh man, she's bleeding...

She's hit an artery or something!

Teddy call 911!

- I'm outta here!
- Yeah!

Guys, seriously? We have to help her!

Look, I'm sorry!

If I get charged, my dad will kill me.

I'm sorry.

Somebody help me!

I need a gurney! What did she take?

I don't know... pills. Red ones.

Okay. Looks like a severed artery.

Get her to trauma and
page Dr. Karamichaelidis.

- Let's go!
- Is she gonna be okay?

Wait at the front, Dylan.

- What happened?
- Go look after your sister. Go!

Dylan, Dylan! You have blood on you.

It's not mine.

Okay. Okay. Dylan, what did you take?

- Nothing.
- Did you take anything?

- No.
- You sure.

Hey. I saw you fast and
furious up in that Mercedes.

The sirens mean stop.

If I had stopped, my
friend might have died!

We ran the plates.

Unless your last name's Trang,

that Mercedes doesn't belong to you.

You're under arrest for
theft, reckless endangerment

by the state of that friend you brought in,

hell of a lot more.

This is a mistake, right? Come on, Dylan?!

* Let the music take control! *

_

Community service isn't so bad.

No, it's bad, London.

I have to waste an entire summer vacation

volunteering at a hospital, this hospital.

You're just lucky that Nana
and Papa knew your judge.

Lucky? That judge said I
can't see any of my friends.

You could be poking trash with a stick.

No, instead, you're here, where
you can maybe do some good,

where you can actually
help people, where...

Where everyone can keep an eye on me.

Hey, I haven't been home in two days,

and I can barely keep my eyes open.

I think Dr. K's trying to break us.

Can't you just show him all your
perfect test scores from med school?

No. I tried that.

It didn't go over well.

Okay, this is it.

If dad was here, I
wouldn't have to do this.

Well, if dad was here, you wouldn't be
committing felonies with Teddy and Rayna.

Hi.

You must be the new girl.
Late on the first day.

Good start.

I'm Jared. I run this program.

Sort of.

Don't go where you're not supposed to,

don't do what you're not supposed to.

Cause any trouble and I will be
forced to call your probation officer.

You feel me?

Mikayla, give the new girl here a tour.

The rest of you geniuses get to work.

Hi. I'm Mikayla, this is Wes.

And don't worry, no one likes Jared.

This place can actually be a lot of fun.

You just have to hang
with the right people.

For example, us.

If it's cool, I'm just gonna
stay outta trouble, do my time.

Well, if you change your mind come find me.

Welcome to Open Heart Memorial.

Come on, tour bus is leaving!

Detective Goodis.

I'm just on my way to a consult.

It's about your husband.

He's still missing.

My superiors think there's
nothing left to investigate.

And now it's been six months
since Richard disappeared.

Mrs. Blake, they're putting
the case in a drawer.

If you'd like, off the record,

I can continue to do some digging...

No, uh... no.

The shadow has hung over
our family for long enough.

So if it's over... Let it be over.

Well, if you ever need
anything you have my number.

Thank you.

Okay, we've got Mr. Boe,

a 40-year-old male, collapsed at home.

Full body seizure en route,
history of hypertension,

BP 190 over 100...

What do we do?

Obviously, it's an intracranial bleed.

We should stabilize and start
him on meds while we wait for CT.

Yeah sure, if you wanna
do the boring thing.

Care to break the tie, Dr. Blake?

Um...

Must be a ruptured aneurysm.

We should try to clip the bleeder.

Dr. Blake, we think we should
stabilize him better first.

If we wait, there's a good
chance he won't wake up again.

What good is he alive, if he
can't be there for his family?

Mrs. Boe, I can bring him back.

Okay, our job is to help out
and to stay out of the way.

Oh, and ABS. Always be smiling.

Have you ever heard of the Blake family?

No. Circus folk?

Dr. Edward Blake pretty
much bankrolled this place

after his second
granddaughter was born here.

Oh, and the doctors said
when they delivered her

she didn't breathe for like
three minutes and then she did.

Sounds like a freak.

Oh and Richard, Edward's
son... like half a year ago?

He just disappeared.

But nobody knows what happened.

What's this?

Hi? Sorry? We can't be in here.

What are we looking at, Dr. McWhinnie?

- Occipital lobe?
- Close, but wrong.

Dr. Hudson?

- That's the medulla.
- Wrong, and less close.

I've never seen my mom operate before.

But that's Dr. Blake.

Which means... you're miracle
baby Dylan Blake?! Wow...

London? London now!

The precentral gyrus of the cerebral cortex

is the area of the brain
responsible for movement.

Correct.

Next time try not to sound
like a med school textbook.

We need to stabilize now.

Are you here to criticize or assist?

Now I will assist with the retraction
and suction of the bleeding.

London, what are the risks associated
with Dr. Blake's course of action?

Uh, risks are... I mean, risks can be...

the, um, complications include, uh...

Spit it out, London.

One sec.

Hey-hey-hey-hey... Keep breathing, okay?

Listen to me.

You are the smartest
person in this building,

if you can't apply it under pressure,

you will not make it as a doctor.

I know.

Would you stop treating her like crap.

I'm treating her like every resident
that comes into this hospital.

She is trying to do
something great with her life.

You know if dad could see
this, he'd be disgusted.

When he comes back...

He's not coming back, Dylan.

You know what, this is
not the time or the place.

I have rounds.

Can you believe her?

Is this what it's going
to be like with you here?

Me constantly caught in the middle?

I'm on your side.

You and Wes wanna have
some fun after shift?

Totally.

Cool. Let's go find some trouble.

Oh man! Es)

I can't believe I'm in
the Blake family mansion.

I don't live here, it's
my grandparents' place.

But they left for
vacation, so it's all ours.

Not bad for circus folk, eh?

Hey, about what I said before...

I shouldn't act like your parents
are my own private soap opera.

Who's up for a swim?

Oh, crap. I left my purple
tankini at home so...

Woo! Wooo!

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

He's shy.

No.

What are we, five? I'm
not gonna push you in.

Nooo!

I can get used to this.

Let me try it without looking. Ready?

Hm-hm.

I don't think I'm making
a very good impression.

Uh no, you-you impress just fine.

Really?

- Okay. My turn.
- Okay.

So why are you a volunteer?

Well, I wanna be a doctor.

Which means university, med school

and money I don't have.

And your solution to that is to volunteer?

Open Heart Memorial looks great
on a scholarship application.

Plus my 96 average will only get me so far.

Your 96 average?

That's impressive.

Oh, you dig smart guys, huh?

I meant, that's impressive you
managed to work that little tidbit

into our first conversation.

Second conversation.

So what did you do?

To get the community service?

Mikayla...

Um, my... my friend was in trouble...

So I drove her to the hospital

in the car I stole from
the house I broke into.

Whoa.

Yeah. I know. You guys feel free
to peace out any time you want.

What, I mean, are you kidding?

I mean, you saved your friend
even though it burned you.

That... that's amazing.

Most people just focus
on the criminal part.

That's because most people suck.

Yeah, screw those people.

Somebody's coming.

Nobody should be here.

Nana!

- Dylan?
- Papa?!

Goodness Dylan, what are you doing here?

We thought we were being robbed!

If you have a key, it's
technically not a break-in.

Even so, honey,

you're not supposed to see
these er, ne'er-do-Wells.

Oh, we're not those ne'er-do-Wells.

We're volunteers at Open Heart. Hi.

- I thought I recognized you.
- Hi.

Yeah, I've been there a while.

We had hoped that the volunteer program

would be a good influence on you,

not get corrupted by you on day one.

Corrupted? We just went swimming.

What's your name, son?

- Wes Silver.
- That's me, Sir.

You went swimming in my
pool, drank my drinks,

and threw my darts.

I think, we're focusing
too much on the negative...

I mean, first of all, no one got hurt,

by the darts or-or the shenanigans,

and secondly, Sir, you have a lovely home,

which we're gonna leave as
soon as we get our clothes.

Okey dokey. Mikayla?

- Okay.
- Yep.

Be sure to leave the robes.

- Y-yes, Sir!
- Yep.

You have anything to say, young lady?

Yeah. How come you guys are home?

Well, your mother and
London are on their way over.

We all need to talk.

And in the meantime, I'm starving!

Despite everything, it
is so good to see you.

I miss our family dinners with all of this.

Your dad always insisted on them.

I know.

It's okay.

- Hi.
- Hi darling.

London Bridges, you look like
you haven't slept in days.

Oh, try weeks, Papa. Why are you guys here?

It seems the police have decided
to end their investigation.

But we still don't know
what happened to dad.

What about detective
Goodis? Is he stopping, too?

He is. He's the one who came to see me.

The police can't continue to pour resources

into a case with no leads.

So now we hire a private investigator.

We're not gonna do that, Dylan.

Why not?

This is a joke, right?

Dad's still missing he
could be out there hurt or...

we-we have to keep looking!

- Sweetheart...
- No, I don't get this!

Why am I the only one who cares?

Well, there's something you don't know.

- London...
- Look, someone needs to tell her.

What?!

When dad came into the hospital
the day he went missing,

he was with someone else.

A woman was seen with him on
the hospital security tape.

It's pretty obvious he
was having an affair.

But who is she?

The police couldn't identify her.

And none of us have seen her before.

How could you all keep this from me?

Because we knew it would upset you.

And we've been holding out hope that
he would call or reach out too us...

No. You should have told me!

No, wait! Dylan! Dylan!

We have to keep the girls close.

No more trips for us.

We start doing dinners again.

And we put this family back together.

What if we just tell them everything.

No. Absolutely not.

You're right.

They can never know.

_

Mornin' dad.

Whatcha you doing?

Um, I'm just looking for patterns.

Like, research for your novel?

Yeah. I guess I...

I guess I made quite a mess.

Your mom is gonna, mom's gonna freak, huh?

Yeah, I can-I can help you clean up.

No, no, don't, don't do that.

I will fold these up, okay?
After you go to school.

Did you oversleep?

Did you sleep at all? 'Cause
your hair is kinda crazy.

You know, I actually, I work very hard

to make it look like this.

This is... It's kinda my thing.

Can I get a ride?

Yeah, yeah. You can.

I just have to find my
keys here, they're...

They are here, somewhere.

Right. Okay.

Can't you just leave them in your
coat pocket like a normal dad?

You see I did that on purpose...

To test your investigative skills.

And it turns out, you
are quite a detective.

I hope I woke you up.

You prevented me from falling asleep.

What are you looking for?

Dad never threw anything
out, he kept everything!

Every ticket, every
drawing, every movie receipt.

If he was having an
affair, there'd be evidence.

Maybe dad left mom, and
maybe there is another woman,

but he wouldn't leave
you and me. Not like this.

But it's what everyone believes.

And it's what I believe, too.

Why didn't I get to see the security tape?

The police only asked me if
I could identify the woman.

But other than identifying how
ugly her coat was... no idea.

Mom didn't think we
should drag you into it.

We have to move on.

And how am I supposed to do that, exactly?

Finish your community service

without getting into any more trouble.

Can you at least try?

Hey, this one looks fun, huh?

"Tess of the d'Urbervilles?"

How old do you think I am?

Ah, here. Here. Here.

This is-this is more recent. Plus it has dragons.

You are catching on to this volunteer thing

a lot quicker than expected.

You okay after last night?

Um... not really.

My whole family thinks my dad
ran off with some mistress.

She was on the hospital security
tape with him the day he disappeared.

What do you think really happened?

I'll let you know when I see that tape.

Cool. Let's just go steal
it out of the security room.

She was joking.

I don't need to steal
it. I just need to see it.

And I need some help.

I'm in.

Mikayla seriously?

Wes. Life is short.

I don't want to get my butt fired.

Nobody is getting fired.

I swear I won't let anything
bad happen to you guys.

I don't bail on the people I care about.

And I'm not bailing on my dad.

One Mississippi, two Mississippi,

- three Mississippi...

- Delinquent.
- My -my name is Dylan.

Right. I knew it started with a 'd'.

What do you think you're doing?

I am delivering magazines to the ward

that's over there. What are you doing?

It's called restocking the supply closet.

How long does that take?

As long as it takes. Now go.

Hey, how'd security room recon go?

The keypad's a problem,

but the door lag solves it for us.

Just need good timing.

So why are you bummed?

I can't get in there today

because Jared is restocking
the supply closet right there.

- Oh no!
- Ohhh!

What?

Jared is always restocking
the supply closet right there.

It's kind of his thing.

Yeah, he lords over the
supplies like a stormtrooper.

For serious? I have to
see that security tape

of my dad and that woman somehow.

Well, London said no one
could identify her, right?

But what if I can, Mikayla?

What if I can figure out
who she is and find my dad.

Then we need a plan to get rid of Jared.

Ooh yeah!

There's nothing I like to think of more.

Okay, okay. So what are his weaknesses?

Uh, peanuts, shellfish, soybeans...

I'm not gonna poison him.

There's gotta be something else.

You know, you're pretty
cute when you're frustrated.

Stop distracting me with the flirting.

What? W-what's that look?

It's Jared. You can't...

I have to. It's the only way.

Mr. Boe has been in a
coma since his surgery.

At this point, all we can
do is monitor his BP and ICP,

and wait for something
to change. Questions?

Are we gonna talk about
your fight yesterday?

- It wasn't a fight.
- It was a disagreement.

- Seemed like a fight.
- Watch your tone.

What would you have done, Dr. Hudson?

Operate. Same as you.

I'll take get 'er done
over wait 'n' see any day.

Respectfully, Dr. K.

You're not an army medic anymore.

At this hospital, we have
to think things through.

What do you think, Dr. McWhinnie?

Statistically speaking, your course
of action was the safer route.

Care to break the tie, London?

Hypotheticals are pointless.

So is waffling.

Tell us what you think, Dr. Blake.

I... don't know.

Well then, this debrief is over.

All right, Dr. Hudson,
since you're a man of action,

why don't you take a break from rounds

to collect the floor's urine samples.

That's not my... Nurses do that.

Not today they don't. Get 'er done.

Oh, and have Dr. Waffles help out.

Hey...

We uh, we kinda got off on
the wrong foot, didn't we?

I didn't realize how much
power you have around here,

but I totally get it now,

and I just hope you can see
that I'm like, so, so sorry.

You're a quick study. I like that.

Well, I'm here to help
in anyway that I can.

- You are? Hm-hm.

Why don't you let me finish this,

and you go on a much-deserved break?

I've got a better idea.

Why don't we restock
the shelves... together?

Is that code for something else?

No. I've got boxes of sterile
gauze comin' out the wazoo.

Sort by size, and make sure
the English label is facing out.

Use that shelf there, the
one labeled "sterile gauze."

Think you can handle that, delinquent?

Try my best.

Alrighty then.

It looks like someone left
this on the wrong shelf.

Ohhhh! My God!

I am so, so sorry!

Are you kidding me right now?!

Sorry.

Ah, at least I have
back-up pants in my cubby.

Let me get them for you.

You don't want to walk
down the hall like that.

Right. Don't want to look foolish.

Just take off your pants,

and I'll make the swap,
and no one has to know.

You want me to take off my pants?

It's the least I can do,
since it is all my fault.

All right. Turn around. Turn around.

Be quick about it, will ya?

Your turn.

Your turn, daddy!

Can we have one, please!

Hm-hm. We absolutely can. I think two.

Here, daddy, this one is for you.

Oh! Well, whatever could it be?

Love the wrapping job, by the way.

Oh! I love it!

Dylan, I love it.

I will never ever, ever
take this watch off!

- See that?
- That is gorgeous.

- Hm-hm.
- Oh London...

You have to change out of your pajamas

in case the hospital calls.

Just go in your pj's,
let your patients know

their doctor is a human being. Yeah.

I love it, Dylan. It's terrific.

Check this out.

That is so cool.

A secret compartment?! So cool.

Nobody else knows about it.

I'm gonna put something
very special in here.

A secret just for you and me.

Merry Christmas, daddy.

Merry Christmas, Dylan. Merry Christmas.

- Pssst!
- Dylan!

What happened with Jared?

Uh, I bought us some time.

But at what cost?

Dylan: Take a guess: Boxer
briefs or tighty whities?***

Are those my only two options?

Because my money was on a thong.

Let's get to work.

Excuse me.

Whoa!

Is that... urine?

Now I have to go back to the
patient and get another one.

Don't nurses do that?

Er, why don't I call
maintenance to deal with this.

- Yep. Why don't you! O-Kay.

Always right when I start to eat...

Wooooo!

What the heck are you doing?

What am I doing?

What am I doing?

Password. Password.

The vending machine ate my
money and I got a little upset

and I took matters in my own hands

and now my hand is like, it's
caught, like in the thing.

Take off the hoodie.

Okay.

Oh! Oh! That came out easily.

Good thing we didn't have
to cut off my hand, right?

Hmm.

Oh...

Oh! Ooh! You better watch yourself.

It's pretty slick right there.
You might wanna wait 'til it dries.

Oh whoa! Whoa! That's a scuff right there!

You scuffed up my floors, dude.

_

What the hell are you doing in here?

I'm not saying I'm the victim here.

I'm just saying you could be more clear
on the 'authorized personnel' sign.

I'm personnel, how do I
know I'm not 'authorized'?

The locked door with the secret passcode.

The door was open.

What's the problem here?

Caught her breaking into security.

The door was open!

She also cracked into the computer system.

Cracked?

There was a sticky note on
the keyboard with the password.

Practically an invitation.

What were you doing?

I was just looking around. I was bored.

Do you want to press charges, ma'am?

It's hospital policy.

Mom, don't let them do this.

Ma'am.

All right, let's go, young lady.

You wanna tell me why you were
in the hospital security room?

What can I say? I guess I missed you.

You're just lucky I was here, Dylan.

Well, where else would you be?

I know you're not investigating
my dad's case anymore.

Look, I didn't want to stop
looking for your dad, okay?

And yet here we are.

Well, let's talk about why
you were in the security room.

The video of your dad isn't
on the hospital server anymore.

It was evidence.

So it's... it's here.

Can you please show it to me?

I feel for your family, Dylan. I do.

But this is a bad path you're going down.

You don't want to end up in juvie.

My dad wouldn't leave me. Like this.

I need to find him,

can please show me the security tape.

I can't.

As much as I might like
to open up my laptop

and point you to an AVI file
under the directory 'Blake',

I just can't.

Like you said, the case is closed...

It's in a drawer. I'm gonna grab a coffee.

If anyone comes in while
I'm gone, I can't help you.

There! Done. Mission complete.

Level up!

That's when you complete a...

it was a video game joke.

Yeah, I'm not proud of myself.

No, no, no. You should be proud.

You just put that joke out there

and didn't second guess yourself.

And it wasn't the worst, I mean, it
just wasn't completely thought out.

But that's the thing, isn't it?

If you hesitate, then you
miss your chance for impact.

Are you having a stroke?

More like an epiphany.

Oh. Sorry. My brain works really fast.

Sometimes I need to talk things out loud

so I can get clarity on what I need to do.

That was clarity?

Of course! It's clear that...

If Dr. Blake wants to hear what I think,

then she's going to hear it.

Thanks for listening to my babble.

I love a good babble.

Hey, I'm Seth by the way.
We haven't officially met.

Um, what am I supposed to do with the pee?

Yeah, yeah, let's meet in my office.

I just gotta get this kid out...

Time's up, Dylan. Your ride is here.

Wait.

I am sorry that I didn't tell you

about your father and that woman.

You love him so much.

I-I didn't want to take that away from you.

I am not a kid.

You can't protect me from everything.

Although...

Thank you for asking
Goodis to run interference

at the police station.

That was you, right?

Yeah. Your Nana thinks

that it would be a good idea for
us to have family dinners again.

- Tonight?
- Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. Let's do it.

Great.

Ugh!

You okay?

Yeah. I think I'll live. Are you good?

Hm-hm. Yeah.

That's... good.

You just made the biggest
mistake of your life.

What are you gonna say?

That I tricked you and stole your pants?

I've got my eye on you, Dylan.

Hey, look at that. You
finally got my name right.

Hmm.

Whoa! No! No!

Excuse me, Dr. Hudson.

What's your name again?

- Jared.
- Jared. Right.

Did we go to medical
school together, Jared.

I didn't go to medical
school. I'm a volunteer.

A volunteer?

Then... what the hell are you wearing?

Uh, scrubs.

Uh-ha.

Remember that time I tried
to borrow a notebook from you

and you said it was a 'volunteer-notebook'?

It was a volunteer notebook.

Yeah, well, those... They're 'doctor-pants'.

So take them off.

- But I don't have anything...
- Now!

Make yourself at home.

How's the patient?

No change... yet.

And if you're waiting
for me to say I was wrong,

it is not gonna happen. I stand by my call.

Fine. But you were off yesterday, Jane.

I know it.

I'm sure having Dylan here is stressful.

No, it's not that.

I mean, it's not only that.

The police closed Richard's case.

Look, if you need some
time to figure things out.

I don't need time, Dom.

He's in recovery.

Look how happy they are.

Yeah.

Do you still want to know what
I think about the operation?

I do.

I think you were told your husband's
missing persons case was being shut down,

and that prevented you
from seeing patient clearly.

You saw another husband and father

who might not come back to their family,

and you took a dangerous risk.

The patient could have died from the
complications of your snap decision.

That's what I think, Dr. Blake.

I brought him back.

This time.

You're back already?

Yeah. My mom got me off the hook.

Sometimes the Blake name comes in handy.

So, I guess we're like, cut
from the heist crew, huh?

No way, you guys did great.

You're you're clearly delirious
from your time in jail.

I mean, we botched the plan.

You were arrested. It just happened.

So did this.

You got taken in jail and walked
out with the security video?!

Who are you?

Why is he so upset?

I've never seen him like this.

Hey, is that the mistress?

Ugly coat. Yeah, that's her.

Wait, what is he doing?

Oh my God... watch.

What are we looking at?

The watch. Look at my dad's wrist.

There! He takes off his watch
and gives it to Dr. Hudson.

That watch was a gift from me. He loved it.

It's just a watch, Dylan.

No, it's not.

There's a secret
compartment under the face.

We're the only two who know.

That watch is important.

And I'm gonna find it.

We should get started.

- We should wait.
- Oh, I'm starving.

But Dylan's not here yet!

Nope, nope, I am, Dylan is here! I am here.

Sorry I'm late.

I got caught up with the lollipop gang.

What?

The kids in oncology loved
our 'hokey pokey' so much

they demanded an encore.

Turns out that is what it's all about.

Well, you see that, Dylan,

being at the hospital will be good for you.

Hm-hm. You know, Papa,

I definitely feel like
I'm on the right track now.

So any interesting cases this week.

Cases? No! No cases.

That was directed to your mother.

- Oh no, I mean yes, but...
- Right.

- But what?
- I don't wanna talk about it.

Well, I have cases though.
I have, I have cases.

- She does.
- They let you see patients now?

Oh Edward, she's been
doing rounds for 6 months.

6 months.

Feels like a year.

Just don't get us sued.
