The Night Shift (2014–2017): Season 1, Episode 8 - Save Me - full transcript

Topher, we got you. Okay?
We're here.

Come on, Toph. Toph?
Come on, Toph.

Stay with me, buddy.

- It's okay. We got you.
- Make some room.

Everybody, come on. Out of the way.

I know. We will get to you.
We'll get to you and you.

I know this is hard, and I can only
imagine what you are going through.

We are trying everything we can
to identify who is here.

The victims have been spread out
across several hospitals.

So if you just bear with us, the nurses
will take down your information...

and we will let you know
what we know. Okay?



- We need to know something.
- Thank you.

We're standing here for nothing.

- What a mess.
- Yeah.

Everybody needs an answer.
How's Topher?

Not looking good. TC's with him,
and Scott's on his way in.

I got off the phone with Dwayne's
family. They'll be here soon.

And when I'm done,
I'll come back and help you here.

Okay. Thanks. That would be great.

Mr. Ragosa,
we've cleared everything.

Detective Gonzalez
is gonna run point from here.

- He's with the shooter right now.
- Okay.

- Wish it would've played out differently.
- Thank you for all your help.

Need eight units of B-positive,
typed and crossed

Kenny, send a trauma panel.
Set up for intubation.



- Call Scott?
- On his way. Ten minutes out.

Call his wife, Janet.
She needs to be here.

- I'm on it.
- Stay with me, buddy.

Grabbing a central-line kit.

Hand me Mac three.

Can't help but think maybe if I'd figured
out what you were trying to say...

No, you couldn't have known.

Maybe Topher isn't shot
because you were protecting me.

I was never gonna lose you.
Guy's a scumbag.

Shot Dwayne in cold blood.

You are not responsible for any of this.
You understand?

Guys, this is gonna be awkward,
but the shooter needs medical attention.

- Screw him.
- That's too bad.

- I know how you feel.
- No, you don't.

You're right. I don't.

- But we have to treat him.
- Send Drew.

Drew is overwhelmed
with the factory victims.

Paul and Krista are too inexperienced
to do it alone.

Look. Under normal circumstances,
I'd be sending you home, Jordan.

You're the attending.
You have to do this.

I'm okay here. Scott's on his way in.

Just get it over and done with.
Come back here.

- Another factory victim.
- Female with full-body burns.

BP 60 systolic. Oxygen is low.

Trauma 3, right here.
Krista, Paul, you're with me.

Gave her a dose of morphine
for the pain.

Okay, get ready.
Very careful, people. On my count.

One, two, three.

- Paul, I need you to come with me.
- Yeah.

- Hey, how's Toph?
- He's not good.

But TC's with him
and Scott's on his way.

Let's go.

- Oh, you gotta be kidding me.
- Thank you.

It really hurts, my neck.

- I bet it does.
- It really hurts.

- Shut up.
- Detective Gonzalez, S.A.P.D.

You got anything I can feed my boss
on Milo's condition?

Yeah. It looks like a blunt trauma
to the neck, zone two.

From Dr. Callahan's struggle. Right?
How did that go down?

He had a gun pointed at me.
He was gonna take me with him.

TC stopped him.

Ballsy guy, and a little reckless.
We were about to come in.

We didn't know you were out there.

What do you think?

I think TC did the right thing.

About this guy.

Right. We need a scan to look
for a carotid-artery injury.

He may need a stent
or surgical repair.

Exactly. So get a scan of his neck.

If it comes back positive,
you put him in the queue for surgery.

But he has to wait.

Just to be clear,
Milo is gonna be a key witness...

in a few other cases,
so it's important you keep him alive.

We needed Dwayne alive.
We need Topher alive.

And all those people that did nothing
but got caught in an explosion...

they need to be alive too.

So he can wait
behind the rest of them.

No.

Is she really the only doctor?

For those of you coming in to help,
thank you very much. Thank you.

Now, I know you all are worried.

Okay? But Topher, he was wounded,
and he's in surgery.

And I'm very sad to inform you,
but Dwayne, he was shot.

He didn't make it.

Again, this has been a brutal night,
but it's not over.

Let's say a prayer
for Dwayne and Topher...

and let's get back
to what we have to do.

We'll get through this together.
Thank you.

- All right. Jordan, you okay?
- I'm fine. We'll talk later.

- What have we got?
- Single GSW to the abdomen.

Pressure's borderline. FAST scans
reveal blood pooling behind the liver.

- I suspect an IBC.
- Pressure's dropping.

- No time for scanning, he needs OR.
- Yep.

- Systolic 40. Must be bleeding.
- Type and cross for eight units.

We just gotta get that bullet out.
Scott, I'll be scrubbing in with you.

- Hit the elevator.
- What happened?

- Everybody, move.
- Get the elevator door.

- Out of the way.
- Move. Move.

Pressure's down to 60.

Still can't see what's bleeding.

Little more retraction, please.

Okay. I need you place a running
suture right beneath my clamp there.

What a mess.

Hey, Toph.
This son of a bitch here is my brother...

and platoon leader,
Captain Thad Callahan.

You forgot about tougher, cooler...

better-looking,
kicked your ass a million times.

The placement's good.
You can cut the suture now.

- TC. TC.
- Yeah?

- Suture.
- Yeah. I got it. I got it.

I got it.

Identity patients
as soon as they've been admitted.

If the patient is unresponsive...

find some ID or anything that can
help identify them to loved ones.

We're cross-referencing
with the other area hospitals.

- Perfect.
- Is there any word on Topher?

He's still in surgery. I'll make an
announcement soon as I hear anything.

- Thanks.
- I just checked in. It's still touch and go.

Shooter's scan came back positive.
Small tear in the carotid.

Are his vitals stable?

For now.
There's a hematoma plugging the hole.

- I'll get him to the OR.
- No. ORs are full...

so he'll wait for Interventional
Radiology for an endoscopic repair.

Jordan.

I know this is a difficult situation...

but treat him
like every other patient.

- He's not every other patient.
- I hired you as interim chief...

because you do the right thing.
I know it's not easy.

Especially in this case.

But it's the job.

- Paul?
- Yeah.

Do an OR setup.
I'm gonna repair the artery myself.

- In the trauma room? Down here?
- Surgeons are swamped.

IR is gonna take forever.
It's temporary, but it will save his life.

The hematoma won't be a Band-Aid
for long.

- Okay.
- Thank you.

Dr. Sarah Dovitch, 5762.

Got it.

Just missed the aorta.

All right. Let's place another silk.
Sponge stick, please.

Repair is done.
Time to remove this clamp.

Moment of truth.

Sutures are holding.
Field remaining dry.

TC, I can get him closed up
if you wanna take a break.

I'm not going anywhere. I'm fine.

Okay. Good.

We got her intubated.
Now let's get her some relief.

Start her
on Q 15-minute Dilaudid pushes...

and she needs
aggressive fluid resuscitation.

- Krista? You with me?
- Yeah.

Just with Topher in the OR...

and Dwayne.

It's terrible, and we wanna be out there
helping Topher, but we're in here.

I don't wanna be a hard-ass,
but you gotta focus.

Okay.

Okay.

How's he doing?
He's gonna make it. Right?

He's lost a lot of blood,
but we're almost done.

Release the proximal clamp.

Whoa, it's not holding.

It's fine. It needs an extra suture.

- Need help? Should I call Dr. Clemmens?
- I got it. Okay?

Everybody just...
Paul, watch what I do.

Add another suture, and tie it off.

Now remove the clamp.

See? It's all under control.

When we're finished,
feel free to put his cuffs back on.

He'll be awake shortly and in pain.

No skin off my nose.

Look. I've done my job,
now you do yours.

No deals. He goes to prison.

Count on it.

Reporting live from Selma,
where a deadly fertiliser explosion...

has claimed the lives of at least
two people and injured many more.

Emergency responders
are still rescuing people...

from inside the building.

Victims are being taken
to a number of local hospitals...

including San Antonio Memorial.

All I've heard was that
Topher just got out of surgery.

Haven't been
any complications so far.

- Thank you. Keep the updates coming.
- You got it.

Topher. Topher.

Topher.

- You're not gonna kiss me, are you?
- Just try and stop me.

- So all things considered, you're...
- Yeah.

- Dwayne, man...
- Yeah. That's a...

I can't believe it.

That's gonna be a hard one to forget.

- How's Jordan?
- Shaken.

She had to work on Milo.

- What?
- Carotid injury.

You know, I wish...
I wish I'd killed him.

I wish you'd killed him
before he shot me.

I have three kids.
That scared the crap out of me, man.

I almost pissed myself.

Yeah.

And then those flash bangs...

it kind of took me back to the war,
you know?

Down. Down.

You ever think about
that sniper that shot Thad?

Get a hemostat
and try to clamp off the bleeder.

Right. Right, right.

I try not to think about anything
about that day.

Yeah.

Do you?

T?

It just keeps popping in my head.

And I just...

- I just...
- T.

T?

- T.
- Yeah. Yeah.

You just what?

- Just...
- Oh, Topher.

- Hey.
- Toph.

It's okay. I'm okay. I'm okay.

I don't understand.
How did this happen?

Topher will explain everything.
You guys need to talk, Janet.

He's gonna be fine.
I took the bullet out myself.

Toph, there's extra morphine
in the PCA machine. You just...

- You... You enjoy.
- T.

T.

I can't imagine
the recovery process for this.

There isn't one.

When I was a medic in Iraq,
an IED went off, killed three guys.

One guy survived, except the right side
of his body was burned...

all the way down to the muscle.

Lot of skin grafts,
lot of plastic surgery and a lot of pain.

- Oh, God.
- So let's just focus...

on making her comfortable
and easing her pain.

Just one step at a time.

That was dispatch.
Secondary explosion at the factory.

They're trying to triage on-site,
but they're requesting help.

- We're already stretched thin.
- I got it. I can go.

Topher's fine. Just saw him.
Spread the word.

- Hey, T. Can we talk for a second?
- Yeah.

Look. The only place that you
should be going right now is home.

- You've been through a lot tonight.
- Yeah. So have you, but you're here.

- The shooter gonna make it?
- He's stable. Don't change the subject.

I'm fine. Been through worse.
I'm anxious to get out.

I don't wanna be late
and have it on my hands.

- Okay?
- No, T...

You have a day-shifter coming,
people here to help...

but no one out there who can do
what I do. You know I'm right.

Mollie, tell them I'm on my way.

Drew.

- Can Krista handle the debriding?
- Yeah. She's got it down.

There was another explosion.
TC is on his way.

I need you to go
and keep an eye on him. He's just...

He's way too jacked up.

- You got it.
- Thank you.

- How you doing?
- I'm fine.

I am. I'm fine.

- Jordan.
- Yeah?

How you holding up?

Just focused on getting
to the end of the shift.

- Why don't you go home?
- Would you?

Scott, this is my ER. Okay?
We're understaffed as it is. I'm staying.

Okay. I just... I had to ask.

I'm headed back to surgery.

Can I borrow your intern Paul
to do a post-op eval on Topher?

- Might go better with a friendly face.
- Sure.

I'll send him up
when things slow down.

Page me if you need me for anything.

- I will.
- I love you.

I love you too.

T, you ready? Let's go.

T.

T, we gotta go.

- TC, come on. We gotta go.
- Yeah.

- Let's go. The truck's ready.
- Are you okay?

- Yeah.
- I'm going with you.

Just figured I could use
the excitement. Come on.

Let's go, doctors.
We don't have all night.

Go ahead.
Towards the back over there.

- Grab an extra C-collar.
- Okay. Lift it. Does it hurt?

How about that?

Okay. Here we go.

Roger that. Squad 52...

Get the less severe injuries
off to University Hospital.

Make sure to label before you ship.

Write their conditions and their vitals
on their right arm.

More severe injuries
are to be stabilised here...

before being transported.

This guy's ready.
Clean him, get him to hospital.

We got a woman in there.
Pinned under a beam.

My guys are trying to get her,
her breathing's laboured.

- Two-man job.
- Yeah. Okay. Take us to her.

You'll be masked. You got five minutes
before this thing starts coming down.

I think we can handle it.

It hurts really bad.

I need something for the pain.

That's too bad. And you know,
it's probably just gonna get worse.

Please. I get it. You hate me.

You get it? You murdered a man.

You were probably gonna kill me,
and you almost killed one of my friends.

The only reason that I fixed you up
is because it's my job.

I hope that you live
to be 100 years old...

and you spend every day in prison
because that is what you deserve.

So no.

No. You don't get
any pain medication.

You can lie here and suffer
for all I care.

How's he doing?

He's fine.

Oh, come on.

We just had our fourth victim
pass away from the accident tonight.

- File says Joshua Gomez.
- Oh, my God.

I just spoke with his mother.

I hate this. It's like you never get
to tell them any good news.

I'll do it with you.

Okay.

- Which puts the number of fatalities
at eight now.

Still dozens more injured
and being treated.

- Victims are being identified...
- Ms. Gomez?

You can check the website
or call the number...

I'm afraid I have some bad news.

Your son Joshua, he suffered
severe trauma from the explosion...

- and he died.
- No.

I'm so sorry.

No.

No.

She's over here.

She's trapped under the debris.

She's having trouble breathing.

She can't get any oxygen
from the mask.

Over here.

Her airway's almost closed shut.
This oxygen ain't doing crap.

Okay. Drew, we need to do a crike.
Prep her neck.

- You gotta put the mask back on.
- I can't see a thing through that mask.

Move. Come on.

We have to get everyone
out of here, doc.

Let's go. Come on.

The structure's unstable.
It's going to shift.

You in?

Okay. I'm in. I'm in. Okay. Let's go.

T. TC, we done here? We gotta go.

They're talking about
a possible gas leak.

- Let's go. Come on.
- Let's go.

- What the hell you doing?
- Just...

Well, Dr. Clemmens told me
to put in the catheter.

Told you, or told you to tell a nurse?

Told me to tell a nurse.
I... I just thought, you know?

Have you ever done
one of these before?

Sure. Yeah. On a... On a cadaver.

Well, you're not doing one on me.

- Did you want me to grab a nurse or?
- No need.

There is no way
I'm getting a catheter.

It's not gonna happen, so...

On your way.

Keep going. Out.

Let me check her tube,
make sure it's secure.

T, you wanna...? T?

Get her to the rig.

T.

T? TC.

T, where are you?

T, we gotta get out of here now.

T.

T, what the hell are you doing?

- I heard somebody yell.
- Where?

I thought I heard someone.
I gotta find them.

- Building's clear.
- I gotta get in there.

No one's here. It's gonna collapse.
We gotta get out of here.

- Okay. Yeah. Yeah.
- Come on. Let's go.

Her O2 is dropping.

- She's not moving air.
- What's going on?

The burnt skin is too tight.
She can't expand her lungs.

- She needs an escharotomy. Clear.
- Clear.

My hands are full. You have to do it.
Ever done one before?

- I've seen videos.
- Make incision through the chest wall.

It'll allow soft tissue to expand
so she can breathe.

- Go assist her.
- Got it.

Clear.

All right, guys. Here we go.

Krista, I've seen you do
some pretty badass things.

You pulled a fork out
of a girl's throat tonight.

- Yeah.
- Push another epi.

- You got this.
- She's ready.

Right up.

Charging.

Clear.

It's working.

She's breathing.

- Her O2 is rising.
- Oh, God. It's really working.

Nice job, Krista.

Thanks, Kenny.

Never had a doubt.

Now we'll just have to ID her.

Excuse me. Can you help me?

- Are you here to see a doctor, or are...?
- My wife, Susan.

She was working
at the factory tonight.

I've been trying to call her
since the accident.

- University said to check here.
- Okay. Let's get some information.

- She's gotta be okay. It's all my fault.
- How?

I always bring her her lunch mid-shift,
but I was late tonight...

she should've been
in the parking lot with me.

Okay. Just give me your name.

Yeah. Max Leonard.
The one night I'm late...

Anything about your wife
that might help track her down?

She's about 5'5".
Blond hair, blue eyes.

Let's see, what else?

Got a little green fairy
tattooed on the inside of her wrist.

I told her it was silly,
but she loves Moulin Rouge.

It's okay.

Have a seat in the waiting room.
I'll find you soon as I know something.

Oh, thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.

Paging Dr. De la Cruz
to Patient Services.

Dr. De la Cruz...

Thanks.

I said no catheter.

Scott says if you can urinate,
you don't need one.

Tell Scott if he wants a catheter
so damn bad...

he can stick up his own penis.

I... I can't tell him that.

Just give me the bottle and leave.

Actually, he's gonna want proof.
I kind of have to stay.

I cannot do it with you watching.

Step outside or something.

Yeah. If I leave,
you're just gonna lie about it, and...

How will I lie?
There will be no urine in the bottle.

Can you get me some water?

But are you sure that's a good idea?

Are you telling me what to do?

No. I... I wasn't...

Actually, yes.
I'm the doctor, and you're the patient.

Normally, you may be my boss,
but you aren't right now.

You get backed up,
you develop urosepsis or renal failure.

So I'm gonna grab you
a glass of water.

Now, if it does not work, I'm getting
a nurse to put in the catheter.

Okay, doctor.

You make an excellent point.

That's exactly how I would've said it.

Can you get me some water, please?

Yes, sir.

You want me
to leave the water running?

Sometimes that helps when I can't go.
I guess just makes it happen.

Did not need that visual.

Dr. Clemmens.

Hey, I just...

I wanted to thank you again
for getting me in to see Dr. Clodfelter.

Glad to do it.
Best ocular surgeon I know.

He ran some tests on me.

They'll probably be able to get me in
for eye surgery next month.

That's great news. I know this vision
trouble has been a burden.

Yeah.

- Anyway, I'm back up to the OR.
- All right.

Dr. De la Cruz?

You're trying to match patients
to family members?

Do you have something?

This ID was with the woman
in Trauma 3.

She's very badly burned.
It was in her jacket.

I just found it.

All available surgical interns,
please report to the OR.

All available surgical interns,
please report...

Oh, my God.

Susan. I'm so sorry.

We found her name tag
with her jacket.

She's intubated,
she won't be able to talk.

- Is she in pain?
- She's heavily medicated.

- Can I touch her?
- Yes, but just try to be gentle.

Oh, my God.

Susan.

Oh, Susan...

That was a great incision you made,
considering you were half-blind.

TC, you want me to take a turn there?
I can step in for you.

No. I got it.

I'm sorry, man.
You did everything you could.

- I thought the captain was dead.
- His brain is gone, but he's pumping...

to keep the heart working
so we can transplant it into Nick.

Dude, why won't you
answer my question?

Why?

T? T.

- Yeah, what?
- You okay?

Yeah. Yeah. We almost there?

- Yeah. We're five minutes out.
- Okay.

- What's going on?
- Nothing.

Nothing at all.

So tell me, how are you doing?

I just keep telling people I'm fine
because I want to be fine.

But I'm having
a really hard time focusing...

and I can't get it out of my head.

Last thing you should do
is get it out your head.

What you need to do
is talk about it and deal with it.

After tonight,
you shouldn't even be here.

I have to be here. I can't just leave.

Everyone that I care about,
they're here.

None of those people
would be judging you, Jordan.

Well, I would judge me.

Honestly, I'm judging myself
about TC right now.

- About what?
- Until I was in that room tonight...

with my life on the line...

I had no idea
what TC went through in that war.

I thought I knew.
I thought I understood.

But I was frustrated with him.

With his anger and his anxiety
and his depression.

And I... I didn't think
that it was ever going to end.

But if I feel this way
after 15 minutes of hell...

what does he feel like
after 15 months?

I tried to talk to him about it before,
but he wouldn't go there.

He never does.

Take a look at the woman in Trauma 3.
Her oxygen levels won't come up.

And I tried to make her
as comfortable as possible, but...

Terrible way to go.

- Is her husband with her?
- Yeah.

- I'll talk to him.
- Thank you.

- All right, let's go.
- Thanks.

Mr. Leonard, I'm so sorry.
All we can do is help her with the pain.

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

I really, really hate
this part of the job.

Don't ever lose that.

- Dr. Alexander.
- Yeah?

It's the shooter. They need you.

Okay, look. Keep her comfortable.

Yeah.

This is pointless.

Most of his blood's
already on the floor.

I'm calling it.

4:02 a.m.

Got it. 4:02.

He's dead? Why?

Carotid artery burst open.

This man needed to be in IR for a stent
or in the OR with me. The sutures tore.

The hole needed to be repaired
with a Dacron patch.

- What happened?
- Who dropped the ball on this?

He was my patient.

But the field was dry when I closed
him up. I double-checked.

- You said he was stable.
- He was.

You were in the OR, and I didn't think
he was stable enough to wait for IR.

So in other words, you screwed up.

Captain. He didn't make it.

The lady doctor that was in there
with him did the operation.

Sorry, but he should've been
brought up to surgery.

Look. You guys were swamped
upstairs, Scott. I made a tough call.

Well, it was the wrong one.

Look. I know this has been
a hell of a night for you...

but unless someone is crashing
in front of you...

surgery needs to happen
in the OR.

Have someone get me.
I'll come down for you.

- Jordan.
- Yeah.

- You got a second?
- One second. I...

- He's off.
- What happened?

Wish I was wrong.
Figured you sent me for a reason.

- Tell me everything.
- I've never seen him like this.

I've seen others like this.

After the war, he's jumpy, he's sweaty,
he's... He said he heard a voice.

- He said that?
- He could have.

Okay? We were in a building.
It was chaos. He might've heard one.

- Okay.
- I don't think so.

- I should've made him go home.
- That's easier said than done.

I tried to get him to let me
have the patient. Pelvis fracture.

He wasn't having any of it.
He insisted on doing it himself.

Okay. I'm gonna try and talk to him,
but could you please just stand by?

- He's in Trauma 2.
- Thank you.

- Dr. Alexander.
- Yeah?

- Tell me what happened.
- Sorry, this is just not a good time.

You told me he was fine, I told my boss
he was fine, and now the guy's dead.

I need to know why.
This is a major case.

She said it wasn't a good time,
detective.

Doctor, do what you need to do.

Listen. You can talk to her
after her shift. Okay?

Or even better, maybe tomorrow.
She's been through a lot.

The other doctor said
it was a screw-up.

Was it?

Or maybe she wasn't trying
as hard as she could?

You bet your ass I'm gonna find out.

Hey, give me a T-pod
to stabilise her pelvis.

- How's it going?
- It's good.

- Is it?
- Yeah.

- T, step down and let me finish this.
- No. I'm fine.

You are not fine. You are not yourself.
I've seen you like this.

T, please.

Let me help you.

- Do it for me.
- Yeah, yeah. Okay.

Yeah.

I should go check on Topher.

Yeah. That's a good idea.

I'll be up soon.

- Everything okay?
- Yeah, yeah. He's fine. He just...

- He needed to take a break, that's all.
- Finally, someone got through to him.

Just so you know, that detective's
on a rampage about what happened.

- It's not a priority right now.
- It will be.

I need to protect you on this one.
Gonna set you up with our lawyer.

This isn't going away.

Is that a fairy?

We get a name on this patient?

I don't know.

Ask Drew.

Landry?

Earlier, you were talking to a man...

who mentioned something
about a tattoo.

That was Max Leonard.
We already found his wife.

- She's in 3.
- Had to do an escharotomy.

She's won't make it.
I broke the news to her husband.

Jordan is working on someone who
has a green fairy tattoo on her wrist.

What?

There was a name tag.

- I found it. It was in her jacket.
- Maybe she borrowed the jacket.

I don't know.

Mr. Leonard?

- Do you have a picture of your wife?
- What? Why?

On your phone or something?

I don't understand.

Why would you want a picture?

I have to show you something.

Oh, my God.

Susan.

I thought you were...

But you're okay. You're okay.

- Oh, my God.
- Yeah.

I love you so much.

- Unbelievable, huh?
- Yeah.

Who's that poor woman who was
burned? And who does she belong to?

Krista, let's see if we can match her
to any of the other reports.

Dr. Clodfelter. You're up early.

Yes. Yes. Yes, I have a minute.

T.

Why didn't you...?

T.

T...

Why?

Finally. I thought I would never...

What is it?

You okay?

I can't... I... I can't breathe.

Nurse. Dr. Clemmens, right now.

- Give me TC. Give me Jordan.
- I'll go page him.

Blood pressure's dropping.

We have to stop the bleeding.
More suction, please.

- What happened?
- Epidural hematoma.

Bullet must've ricocheted and blood
is compressing his spinal cord.

If we don't relieve the bleeding,
he could become paralysed.

- He can't die.
- We need to evacuate this blood.

- Gotcha.
- He can't die.

TC, you okay?

T, save me.

Thad, you gotta stay with me, man.
We gotta stop the bleeding.

- I gotta stop the bleeding.
- Kenny, Kenny, Kenny.

Stop, stop, stop.

- Get him out of here.
- We can't leave him.

- TC. T.
- Stop. Get off me.

- Get him out of here.
- TC, stop.

- TC, it's us. It's us.
- It's all right. Calm down.

- Calm down.
- Get off me.

- It's us.
- Jordan, step in.

- I need you to assist.
- Get him out of here, down the hall.

- Jordan.
- Let's go. Right there.

Guy's a fricking nut job...

and he's gonna drag you
and everyone else here down with him.

Let's just focus on saving Topher
right now. Okay?

I just checked on Topher.
No news yet.

Then they told me
about the whole thing with TC.

Were you there?

- What?
- TC.

Do you know if he's okay?

I... I don't know.

Is everything okay?

I just got a call from Dr. Clodfelter,
the eye surgeon.

So, what did he say?

It's a little more complicated
than we thought.

I...

I have a tumour behind my eye.

Oh, Michael. I'm so sorry.

It's a hell of a night, huh?

We tracked your mother down
in New Orleans, Mary.

She's not gonna be able to get here,
but we're gonna be right here with you.

We will not leave your side.

I have her on the phone, your mother.
She wants to talk to you.

Go ahead, ma'am.

Oh, I love you so much, Mary.

You will always be my baby girl.
Do you hear me?

Always.

She hears you.

So he's gonna be okay?

We got the blood evacuated
and his spinal cord looks good.

If all goes as expected,
he should make a full recovery.

Thank you.

Hey.

Thank you, Jordan.

I have to check on something.

Yeah. Tell the captain I wanna
bring the doc in for questioning.

Let's just say I don't think
she did everything she could.

Take the cuffs off of him now.

- Hey, it was for his own protection.
- Please.

- Thanks, man.
- Yeah.

I'll wait outside.

We don't have to talk.

I'm just gonna sit with you, okay?

- It was my fault.
- No, Topher's gonna be okay.

That was not your fault.

- You did what anyone would do.
- Not what I'm talking about.

- Okay.
- I keep having these memories...

dreams,
whatever you wanna call them.

What about?

About when Thad...

was killed.

I keep seeing him get shot
over and over.

I keep reliving that moment.

That's what I'm talking about.

That's what was my fault.

- No.
- Yeah.

We'll take the front. You take
the back entrance. Watch your six.

Yeah.

I hesitated.

Why didn't you shoot? Why?

The sniper, he was a kid.

He was maybe 12 years old.

Maybe.

He was a kid, Jordan.

Thad.

So I hesitated...

and I got my brother killed.

- No.
- Yeah.

No.

- Hey. Hey.
- For years, I've been blocking it.

- Look at me.
- Blocking that it's my fault.

You've been carrying this around
with you the whole time?

I had to tell somebody, Jordan.
I had to.

- Yeah.
- I thought I could bury it in here...

and I can't.

I can't.

Because... Because I... I...

I got Thad killed.

- Oh, T.
- Thad, I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

- I'm... I'm so sorry.
- I'm gonna take care of you.

I'm not going anywhere.
