The Night Shift (2014–2017): Season 2, Episode 14 - Darkest Before Dawn - full transcript

Previously on "The Night Shift"...

I'm pregnant.

A promotion? That's even better!

No, I-it isn't.

I wouldn't work in Texas anymore.

I'd have to move to South Carolina.

Topher: Did you hear? There's
a sniper in San Antonio.

We just got to get the hell out of here.

All the flights are
grounded 'cause of the storm.

- You're not going anywhere.
- I'm gonna call Jordan.

Jordan! I need some help in here!



Help!

Reporter: San Antonio has been under siege

for the past 48 hours.

The death toll stands at eight.

Police believe they have
the sniper surrounded.

In the North Site Parking structure.

- It took some balls for you to come back out here.
- Let's go!

You know what they say. Got to
get right back on the horse, right?

Yeah, whoever said that's
probably never been shot at.

Nothing wrong with being scared.

Just proves you're normal.

Oh, I'm scared.

But I was more scared if
I didn't come out tonight,

that I never would again, you know?



I felt that every day in Iraq.

Hey, Kenny, I just checked
on Jordan. Still the same.

Any word on Gwen and Drew on the site?

No, everybody's on radio silence.

Just trying to get a
glimpse from the news report.

T.C.: Kenny, Kenny! Where is Jordan?

Up in ICU. Go, go! I got this.

- Scott's up there with her. Let's take her to Trauma 2.
- Okay.

Kenny, call Janet. Let her know I'm here.

- And I'll be home in an hour.
- Got it.

[Elevator bell dings]

[Monitor beeping]

Scott: MRI showed a stroke.

- Clotting from the pregnancy?
- It looks that way. Yeah.

- You give her TPA?
- We did.

And we broke up the clot,

but she had significant
swelling in her brain,

and she's been in a coma since the stroke.

I've been here with her the whole time.

And... and... and the baby?

The baby looks fine, for now.

But we're monitoring things.

[Exhales sharply]

Hey.

I'll give you some privacy.

So, what happens now?

We'll try to make Ali as
comfortable as possible

until the donor heart arrives,

and then Dr. Clemmens will
perform the transplant.

Hey. How's Jordan?

Not good. Still in a coma.

We need the swelling to go down.

T.C.'s never gonna forgive himself

for not being here with her.

He was a wreck on that plane.

Yeah, well, maybe he never should've left.

Hello. I'm Dr. Clemmens. Welcome.

- This is my wife Farrah.
- Hello.

Nice to meet you.

Hey, Scott, can I talk to you?

Excuse us.

- He's got a temp of 101.
- Yeah, I saw that,

and we can't do an organ transplant

on someone running a fever.

If Ali has a-an infection,

we put in a new heart, put
him on immunosuppresants,

- he could die.
- I know. That's why I'm telling you.

I didn't want to say
anything in front of them.

So, we figure out what's causing the fever.

Yeah. Okay.

Is something wrong?

Um, no. No, no. Everything's fine.

We just need to run a few tests.

Reporter: Sources tell us
law enforcement are in fact

communicating with the
sniper and hope to resolve...

All right, all right. Come
on, people. Come on, people.

We can't stare at the
damn TV all night long.

Let's start treating our homeless
guests in the waiting room.

They probably haven't seen any
medical care in a long time.

Hey, Paul. Can you help me diagnose?

Oh, yeah, sure. No prob.

What's the situation with your hand?

Still a little weak.

Uh, the infection's gone,
but I have some nerve damage.

- My dad's looking at surgical options for me.
- Ah.

If anyone could help, it'll be your dad.

Just hope I didn't screw up
my peds surgical fellowship.

I thought you were still
on the fence about that.

Losing that choice really puts
things into focus, you know.

Hey, I just finished the head LAC in 2.

- Have you heard anything yet?
- [Scoffs]

Well, well, well, look
what the cat dragged in.

Welcome home, Dr. Chavez. [Laughs]

- Oh! Good to see you.
- Ah, you, too.

Hell of a night for you to be out driving.

Yeah, I had to come in.

I'm on the bone-marrow donation list,

and, uh, we got a match
to a kid in St. Louis,

so I got to get to him ASAP.

- Hey, Kenny.
- Woman: We do have to...

Hey, there he is.

- But we do know that...
- Kenny's still mad at me?

No. Hardly. Just Gwen's out on the
scene that's going down right now.

- T.C. out there with her?
- Oh, come on. I'll give you an update.

- And, oh, F.Y.I., you may be working tonight.
- All right, great.

Yeah. I'll be ready.

Carol: We're now gonna go live
to a reporter in the field.

Woman: Carol, police have asked
us to stand even further back

as negotiations with the
snipers have broken down.

The situation here is very...

- [gunshots]
- Man: Everybody down!

[Sirens wailing]

Oh, my God.

Carol: We can't show you
exactly what is going on.

We do have to keep our distance for safety.

- What we do know...
- She's okay. Good.

- One or multiple...
- Drew's with her.

Yeah.

- It's almost over.
- What?

- It's almost over.
- How can you tell?

I don't hear sniper fire anymore.

- [Gunfire]
- Man #1: We got him!

Man #2: Code 4, suspect in
custody. Rooftop is clear.

I repeat, rooftop is clear.

Clear! We're clear! Let's
go, medics! Now! Let's go!

Move it! Move it!

Get me a 360 perimeter now!

Yes, sir! All right!

Let's go! Spread out!

You need to keep him alive
we need to question him.

I ain't telling you nothing.
You're all going down.

- Stay there.
- Gwen: All right,

let's get some pressure
dressings on these wounds.

We'll package him in the rig.

- [Gunshots]
- Down! Gunshots!

Second shooter.

- I told you this ain't over.
- Got a second shooter.

- Not by a long shot.
- Clear this place out!

Two GSWS... right neck, left hip.

Pressure dressings
applied. B.P. 80 systolic.

Hey, this son of a bitch
took a potshot at you?

- I don't know. There's another one out there.
- That's right.

- No one is safe. Anybody who touches me...
- Hey! Keep your hands off me!

- Your family dies. [Spits]
- Aah!

- Splatter their brains.
- Hey! Shut your mouth! Damn it!

- Damn it! Son of a bitch.
- You're gonna get it next.

I'm filling in for Scott. What do we got?

Multiple GSWS, pressure
is low. Welcome back.

All right, yeah, good to be back.

Let's get him into Trauma 5.

Turn him. Go.

Watch him. Drew: Okay,
please stay out here.

As soon as we're done with him,

he's all yours, I promise you.

Hey, Kenny, trauma panel.

Hang two units of O-neg.

Crossbatch another six-pack.

[Chuckles] Two six-packs?
Hell, make it a case.

- Joey: Let's get him sedated.
- No! Keep him awake.

We need to be able to ask some questions

- about the second sniper.
- I ain't telling you crap.

You'll never find him.
You're all gonna die!

[Laughs]

*****

[Man groaning]

Come on, hey! Why don't you calm down?

Why don't you kiss my ass, huh?

Superficial zone two through
and through confirmed.

Jugular vein, carotid artery spared.

We got a flag on the play.

Third wound in the lateral flank.

- I need a long wooden Q-Tip.
- Man: Right here.

You should've seen that cop I shot.

It was a great shot.

Aaah!

[Breathing shallowly]

Gauze.

Right between the eyes. Over 50 yards away.

I wonder what the last thing
to go through his head was,

besides my bullet. Ha! Oh-ohh!

- You get it? You get it, right?
- Yeah. I get it.

Aah!

Hi. I'm Dr. Cummings. This is Dr. Ragosa.

Uh, do you mind if we take
a look at your forehead?

Okay.

Okay, all right. Hey, what's your name?

- Maya.
- Maya.

- Okay, Maya.
- Aah!

Oh. That hurts, too?

- How did this happen?
- I was in line trying to get into a shelter.

They closed the doors
when it got too crowded.

Everyone started pushing and shoving.

I got knocked down and kicked.

Sorry. It's been a tough few days.

Paul: It's... it's okay. All right.

Um, come on, let's get you fixed up.

[Susie Suh's "Good Times" playing]

Hey, Jordan. I'm back. I'm right here.

* Well, he told me he
didn't know me that well *

I don't know if you can hear me,

but I promise I will never
leave your side again.

- * If only he knew he was my lion *
- Still the same?

Yeah. Yeah.

I should never have left her.

No, no. There's nothing you could've done.

This isn't on you, Tee.

Maybe it is.

Maybe it's the pressure of her worrying.

T.C., stop it.

This is a complication from the pregnancy.

You leaving didn't cause a stroke.

Yeah. I was gonna make it up to her.

* It's a roller-coaster ride *

I just hope it's not too late.

* It's a fortune-teller's life *

Hey. I didn't get a chance
to introduce myself earlier.

- Or thank you for reviving me. Um, I'm T.C.
- * it's a dream that I had in black and white *

- Jordan. Thank you.
- * make a wish *

- Okay.
- * on a star tonight *

I got to say, I, uh, thought army guys

were smarter than running
into a burning building.

- Oh, no. You don't know many army guys.
- Mm.

Um, so, thanks. Uh...

And thanks for loaning me

this... this really cute sweater.

I think it's your color.

Yeah. Yeah, I wanted
to give it back to you,

but I figured since I got it dirty,

I should get it dry-cleaned first.

- Okay.
- Okay, but maybe I should get your number.

* I shoot him twice *

- So I can get it back to you when it's ready.
- * I couldn't help it *

* The bullets flew out of my mouth *

Or, since we work at the same hospital,

you could always drop it
off at the nurses station.

Yeah, but, uh, but then
you'll be missing out

on a really amazing dinner.

I'd hate for that to happen to you.

* 'Cause it's a roller-coaster ride *

Okay. After the shift. One drink.

- I'll take it.
- * it's a fortune-teller's life *

- Is that that army dude?
- Yes.

- Girl, he looks like trouble.
- I know. He is so cute.

Unh-unh. Two first-year residents?

Girl, don't get your penis
where you get your paycheck.

- * Hush, my darling *
- Wow.

- Is that Shakespeare?
- * Sweet dreams tonight *

- Mm-hmm.
- Mm.

A little something I wrote just for you.

- It's charming.
- You're welcome.

* Do, do, do-do-do, do-do-do *

Topher: Any word from UNOS?

Yeah. I spoke to them, and they're waiting,

but if Ali isn't ready
for transplant by morning,

someone else will get that heart.

No! No! Can they do that?

Farrah.

We'll figure this out before then.

It'll be okay.

Has this been there?

No, Ali, do you feel pain in your chest?

No. But I am feeling a bit dizzy.

He's bleeding! What is wrong with him?

- Topher: Farrah, you should step out.
- No! I will not leave his side.

- We need to start a platelet transfusion.
- [Rapid beeping]

- Ali! Ali! Ali!!
- Two units of platelets.

We believe you may have
broken your collarbone.

I can't pay. At least, not all of it.

I can give you some money.

It's fine. Don't worry about it.

I do work, at a coffee shop.

The boss there is really nice.

He lets me snag sandwiches
and free pastries.

It's not a lot of money.

I just can't afford a place yet.

So where do you stay?

I usually sleep in my
car and shower at the "Y."

The cops want everyone off the streets,

so no sleeping in my car tonight.

So I went to the shelter and then... ow...

now I'm here.

Sounds like a pretty hard day today.

Uh, we'll need an X-ray.

It is what it is. Life is hard.

No one gives you anything for free,

- except for maybe X-rays.
- Paul: Mm.

- Aah.
- Okay.

Let's get this shoulder looked at.

Jocelyn, could you help Maya put a gown on?

- We're gonna step out.
- Of course.

Here you go.

[Monitor beeping] I'll be sure to tell her

how well you took care of her.

Yeah, well, I need the
bonus points when she wakes.

[Chuckles]

- T.C.
- She's seizing.

Start a gram of Dilantin
and hang some Mag Sulfate.

It could be eclampsia.

[Rapid beeping]

- Her sats are down.
- She's not moving any air.

- Start an intubation tray.
- Heart rate's down, T.C. hurry!

Baby, come on.

Esophagus is clear, neck is stable.

Drew, the detective is pushing to
come in and question the patient.

No way. He comes in here, gets in our way,

his only lead dies. He can wait.

Joey: This hip wound is
tracking towards his abdomen.

I need to probe the entrance wound.

[Groaning] What are you doing?

Come on, man. I need
some meds for the pain.

No, no, no, no. What you
really need is a good lawyer.

Okay. Okay, fine.

If I tell you where he is,

will you give me something for the pain?

Yeah, we'll give you something.

Okay, I'll tell you where he is.

- [Weakly] He's at...
- Hey.

Come on.

Hey! Hey!

- Aah!
- [Laughs]

- You son of a bitch!
- You all right? Drew, you okay?

I told ya I'd get ya.

Blood pressure's dropping.

The bullet bounced off
his ilium into his abdomen.

He's bleeding out.

We need to get him to the O.R. right now.

Move! Move out of the way!

- Krista, step in.
- Krista: Ready to go.

I have been over and over the labs,

and it looks like it is eclampsia,

so good call on starting
the magnesium when you did.

Well, she doesn't have
hyperreflexia or edema,

so maybe we're just jumping to conclusions.

- T.C...
- You guys, I just got a call,

so I'll be back as soon as I can, okay?

- Sure.
- All right.

Look, hey.

I can't even imagine how difficult this is,

but you know what this means.

- The pregnancy is toxic to her.
- Scott.

If Jordan was awake, she'd
want us to do everything we can

to save the baby.

[Coughing]

Okay, that's not a seizure.
She's bucking the ventilator.

Hey, hey. Shh.

Push a mg of Ativan.

- [Coughing continues]
- Hey. Shh.

It's uncomfortable. At least
that means she can feel it.

Okay, it looks like that's working for now,

- but...
- Let's run some tests.

All right, I want to be 1,000% sure.

We're not doing anything drastic
unless I'm absolutely certain.

[Sighs] I get it.

Run your tests. I got to go check on Ali.

Call me if you need me.

Hey, sweetheart, hey.

I'm here, Jordan. I'm here.

It's gonna be okay, sweetheart.

There you go. Let me see your eyes.

- [Camera shutter clicks]
- [Laughs]

- No funny faces, all right?
- Why not?

- We got two more to go.
- That's why you're in a photo booth, right?

- Just serious.
- Okay, fine. Serious, serious, serious.

- [Camera shutter clicks]
- [Laughs]

- Really?
- Yes.

- Sorry.
- I love you.

[Camera shutter clicks]

*****

So, I wasn't expecting this tonight.

- Tell me about it.
- Yeah.

- I'm really worried about Jordan.
- Jordan's a fighter.

She'll pull through.

So, after you do this bone-marrow donation,

you're leaving again in a few days?

Yeah. Liberia.

How long are you gone for again?

I don't know. As long as they need me.

Okay.

Yeah, but, I mean, I'll have breaks.

You could come visit.

We could meet up in Italy. You ever been?

To Italy? No.

Oh, you'll love it. It's great.

The Greek isles it's beautiful.

We'll have a great time.

Woman: Excuse me, Dr. Chavez.

The patient is ready.

All right. They're ready for us.

Yeah. Let's scrub up.

Hello. So, uh, sorry about the wait.

But the cops have to lock down
the hallway because of the sniper,

so it's a little backed
up in imaging right now.

That's so scary.

Have there been a lot of victims?

From the shooters? Uh,
we've had several of them.

Really? Did you see anyone die?

Actually, the, um... first
victim was my patient.

No way. What happened?

Was in a car accident.

Dr. Cummings here found him first.

And he died?

Never had a chance. His head was wrapped.

We thought it was trauma from the accident,

but, uh, he had been shot.

Yeah, it was my first case.
I had to tell his wife.

When she came in, she was in so much pain.

It was...

It was hard.

I'll never get used to that.

- That sounds terrible.
- Yeah.

- Okay, I'm gonna go see if radiology is open yet.
- Yeah. Yeah.

- Uh, do you want any chips or anything?
- No, no. Thank you.

Okay. All right.

Ragosa: Yeah, it was my first case.

I had to tell his wife.

When she came in, she was in so much pain.

It was...

It was hard.

I'll never get used to that.

Maya: That sounds terrible.

[Monitor beeping]

Topher: The bleeding's stopped,

but I still don't know what's causing this.

I've got him on broad spectrum antibiotics,

- but the fever's only going up.
- [Sighs]

I'm getting really nervous
about this transplant.

Yeah, I've been nervous about that

since you walked through the door.

- And UNOS keeps calling for updates.
- I know, I know.

Maybe it's not bacterial.
Maybe it's parasitic.

I didn't see any bug bites on him, though.

At this point, I'm willing to try anything.

- We'll figure this out.
- Okay.

Dr. Zia, your wife is here.

- Janet's here? What the hell?
- Yeah.

Tell her I'll meet her in
the break room in a minute.

You got it.

[Sighs]

Is my husband going to die?

Farrah, we're gonna do everything we can.

You have to do more. You owe him.

I know... I know I do.

He saved my life.

When you left, when the Americans left,

do you know what the village elders did

to collaborators like Ali?

I'm s-sure it was very horrible.

They burned down our home

because they're afraid the Taliban

would kill everyone in the village.

We have been through too much.

You have to save him.

I'm sorry, Topher.

- Just...
- Janet's not going to wait.

I really think you need
to see her, like, now.

Okay, okay.

I'll be... I'll be right back, I promise.

No more promises. Just do it.

Just do it. [Crying]

[Telephone ringing]

It's... it's the middle of the night.

There's a sniper out.
What are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

You... you said you were gonna be home

as soon as you landed.
You haven't even called me.

- I told Kenny to call you.
- Kenny is not my husband.

- Okay, I'm sorry.
- No.

Things with Ali got
worse than I anticipated,

but I'm fine. I'll be home as soon as...

No, no, no, no. I am so tired
of you breaking your promises.

- Janet...
- Do you have any idea

what the last few days
have been like for me?

For Lynn?

We had no idea whether or not

you were ever coming back.

- I-I'm back. I'm back now.
- Are you?

Look, I know how much
this Ali means to you,

but I need us to mean more.

You... you are. How can you even...

You left your family to go to a war zone

when you didn't have to.

You could've let someone
else take that risk.

- I'm sorry.
- No.

No, I am just so tired of
keeping all this anger in.

- I... I never asked you to keep it in.
- Yes, you did.

- No.
- Yeah, you don't know it, but you do.

You need your rest from work,

you need to talk to your patients 24/7,

and I try to leave you alone,

but I never get the time
just to be angry, too.

And this was the last straw.

I am done.

[Scoffs] What are you saying?

I'm saying that I came here
to say to you in person...

Not to come home.

[Scoffs]

- I'm sorry. Janet...
- Topher, I need... I need time, okay?

I just [Sighs]

I am so happy that you're
home and that you're okay,

but I can't do this anymore.

You... Janet, I'm sorry!

- Just wait!
- Hey, Janet.

What... what is it, Drew?

Uh, I just got of the phone with UNOS.

They have another recipient for the heart

and they wanted to know the status of Ali.

What... what did you tell them?

- I said he was fine.
- Okay.

But you know that if he's
not ready for that transplant

in the next couple of
hours, they are moving on.

Got it, got it. Good, thanks.

Thanks.

[Monitor beeping]

What's going on?

Pressure and pulse rate just keep going up.

The toxicity's getting worse.

- We have to...
- Shh! I know, just let me... let me...

- let me think.
- T.C., she won't make it.

- We have to do something now!
- I know!

I know, Scott! I know! Just let me think.

We have to act now or
Jordan's going to die.

- Come on, Jordan. Hang in there.
- OB-Gyn is ready.

- Tee, you shouldn't go in.
- No, no, no. I can't leave her.

- No, Tee.
- Gwen: You don't need to see this.

I'll observe and I'll update
you with any news. I promise.

And we'll be right here
with you, buddy, all right?

She's gonna be okay.

This guy is a mess.

The abdominal cavity is pooling
all the blood in his body.

- More O-Neg now.
- Woman: Yes, Doctor.

We have to find the bleeder, all right,

or this guy's not going to wake up

and the cops aren't going
to find the second sniper.

It's the vena cava. I got pressure on it.

Good catch. Clamp.

Hang on a second.

Oh, I got it.

[Monitor beeping rapidly]

Blood pressure's dropping.
Let's move, people!

He's bleeding out! Let's go!

Maya?

What are you doing up here?

I was just looking for the bathroom.

Oh. Well, patients'
bathrooms are downstairs.

Come on, I'll walk you.

[Inhales deeply] All right.

You can't rush it, Toph.

Ali's tests are gonna take what they take.

I-I know, I'm sorry.

Last few days have been hard.

Little on edge.

It's always something, isn't it?

I still don't know whether
Rick's gonna stay here

or take his dream job
training recruits for combat

in South Carolina.

You guys just got back together.

Yeah. Life's a bitch, ain't it?

Topher. There are no reports yet,

but the slides are up.

I want to look at it myself.

This isn't malaria.
Come here. Look at this.

See that? Those are broken
blood cells... schistocytes.

Okay, so fever, anemia, schistocytes.

It's not an infection.

Exactly. It's T.T.P. It's a blood disorder.

At least we know what's wrong with him.

We need to replace the plasma in his blood.

Mollie, can we get a blood-cell
separator for Trauma 2?

Do you think one round of plasma exchange

- is gonna be enough?
- It's gonna have to be.

We only have until morning
before we lose the heart.

Yeah.

Jordan: Look, Tee.

I know you think there's nothing I can do,

but I can help you with this.

*****

All right, I want to help.

How can you help me if
I can't help myself, hmm?

I can't keep putting you through this.

I told you I'd wait.

Look, babe, it's n...

Jordan I've been back
from the war for a year.

I still haven't any better.

I don't know how long that's gonna be.

And I don't know if it's ever gonna be.

I don't need a timeline.

I love you.

I love you, too.

And that's... that's why I have to leave

and that's... that's why I can't stay.

'Cause if I do, I'm gonna ruin your life,

and that's why we're done, Jordan.

[Loud bang]

Hey, it's just the neighbors upstairs.

*****

Tee...

[Mid-tempo guitar music playing]

Scott: T.C.

T.C.

Jordan's stable.

[Sighs]

I'm so sorry, man. The baby's gone.

[Sighs]

*****

W-we both knew there was
nothing that could be done.

Yeah. [Sighs]

Jordan is still she's fighting.

Her... her kidneys don't look good,

so they're taking her down to ICU now.

Come on.

Hey.

*****

Come on.

[Crying]

[Monitor beeping]

Milk, no sugar.

[Breathes deeply] Yeah.

Gwen, you're too good to me.

[Chuckles]

How are you holding up, Scott?

[Sighs]

I've been better.

[Chuckles]

You know, I always thought
it'd be you in there with her.

Yeah, me, too.

Oh, that feels better.

You'll have to wear this for a few weeks,

but then you should expect a full recovery.

As long as I can make a latte, I'm cool.

Paul, check the attitude on this one, huh?

Maybe you can learn something.

It's never as bad as you think, huh?

That's what I try to always say.

I will, uh, keep that in mind.

All right, so, let's get you your meds,

and then, uh, you'll
be as good as new, okay?

- Yeah, except...
- What?

Well, it's fine if the answer's no,

but is it okay if I take a nap here?

It's been a while since
I've slept in a real bed.

Uh, yeah, yeah. I guess.

Um, we'll just have to move you

if there are any emergency cases, okay?

Thanks so much. You guys are the best.

Hey, you guys heard the news?

The sniper died on the table.

Ah. Did they get anything out of him?

I'm not sure, but I heard
the cops found the car

and they're dusting for prints.

I hope they can kill
that other bastard, too.

Sorry for the rough language, honey.

It's just got me all worked up.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm just tired.

[Monitor beeping]

Thank you, Gwen.

Anything I can do, Tee. Whatever you need.

I know. How's Ali?

Well, we're doing the plasma exchange.

We'll know in a few hours if it's working.

If it doesn't, the heart goes
to the next person on the list.

After all that...

Yeah.

After all that.

[Monitor beeping]

[Sighs]

Come on, Jordan.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

- Whoa!
- [Tires screech]

Oh-ho.

[Sighs]

Oh, my God.

Um... [Sighs] I'm sorry.

- Is this... is this you?
- Yeah.

Oh, man, I'm sorry. I was just...

you know, I was... I was in a hurry,

and I wasn't paying any attention and I...

[Sighs]

You know what? These things happen.

It's... this doesn't even look that bad.

What's your big hurry?

Uh, blind date. [Chuckles]

Coming or leaving?

I'm leaving. Definitely leaving.

"Escaping" is more like it.

Oof. That bad, huh?

Oh. Um, you know,

it probably wasn't even
really the guy's fault.

It's just first date after the breakup,

and it's been six months,

but my friend, she told me
to get back on the horse.

It just turns out... not that horse.

[Chuckles]

[Sighs]

I'm sorry.

Um, you are waiting for my insurance card,

and [Chuckles] I am standing
here blabbering like an idiot

- about my love life.
- Uh, you know what? Hang on.

Hang on, hang on. I got a better idea.

How about you buy me dessert,

I'll pay for dinner, and we call it even?

Uh...

Dessert doesn't really cover that scratch.

Uh, no, no. It probably doesn't,

but ending my bad streak
of first dates might.

What do you say?

Okay. [Chuckles]

Okay. Scott.

Jordan.

[Monitor beeping]

[Indistinct conversations]

Hey. Hey, Paul.

Hey.

I'm, uh, I'm sorry about earlier.

Saying that you could've learned from Maya,

you know, I didn't mean to
make light of your problem.

No, not at all, man. Uh, you were right.

And, uh, in other news,
I just heard from my dad.

Uh, he found a surgery for my hand.

50% chance I regain full function,

and, um, 50% chance they
cause further damage.

Oh. Yeah.

Those are not good odds.

Well, what if you don't have the surgery?

Well, a slow recovery.

I mean, I would... I
would never be a surgeon,

but I could be a functioning
E.R. doc in a couple weeks.

It's your choice, right?

Bird in the hand?

Yeah, um, I hadn't really thought about it.

Uh, what... what are
you... what do you think?

I don't know, man.

It's your life,

but take it from a guy
who blew it 20 years ago.

You could lose all this.

I don't know if it's
worth the risk, you know?

Hey. Why don't we sit down after the shift,

- make a list, talk to Scott?
- Everybody pipe down!

They have a picture of the second sniper.

Woman: Police officials say
that fingerprints have revealed

the identity of the second sniper.

Her name is Brianna Ward.

Investigators are asking
anyone with information to...

- Holy cow.
- Officer, she's here!

Contact San Antonio police
immediately. Do not approach.

She is considered armed and dangerous.

Maya! We know who you a...

Jocelyn, get me Dr. Chavez now!

[Flatline]

All right, I'm inflating the cuff

and using it as a tourniquet.

Hang another saline.

Here.

We found her coded. She bled out.

Use the O-Negative.

She's the second shooter?

- Yeah.
- Come on.

You don't get to decide how you die.

Anybody know how long she's been bleeding?

Long enough.

Hold CPR.

[Monitor beeping]

Drew: Her B.P.'s coming back.

Come on.

B.P. 90 systolic. She's stabilizing.

Okay, good. Hang another
two units of blood.

I want her healthy for her day in court.

Let's get her to Trauma 1 right now.

Yeah, nice save.

I should've known.

She seemed, uh...

I feel so stupid!

- I really believed her.
- Yeah, we both did.

That's why I'm getting
the surgery on my hand.

I thought you'd want to wait
to think about it some more.

This sealed it.

I can't keep a professional boundary

when I see pain every day.

You know, this isn't even first case.

I mean, I need... I need
the distance of surgery.

I need to be somewhere

where every case isn't like a gut punch.

You know, where it doesn't
stick with me for a week.

[Breathes deeply]

Where I don't end up going fishing

with my dead patient's dad, you know?

And if the surgery doesn't work?

Yeah, I'll deal with that then.

I'll deal with that then.

[Sighs]

[Monitor beeping]

[Gasps] She squeezed my hand.

Purposeful movements.

Must mean the swelling in
her brain is going down.

Jordan?

Don't you go scaring us
like that again, okay?

Hey, Jordan.

We're here with you.

Hey, come on.

Oh, God, is she...

[Sighs] Looks like it.

- You need some time alone with her?
- Yeah.

Okay.

Hey.

You're okay.

The baby?

No. Shh, shh, shh.

[Sniffles]

[Monitor beeping]

[Breathing shakily]

Farrah.

I'm here, Ali.

You made it.

You are going to get your heart.

Topher: The treatment worked.

Dr. Clemmens is gonna take you to the O.R.

I don't know how to thank you, Topher.

The lengths you have gone
through to make this happen.

You are a man of your word.

Thank you.

I'm sorry I was so angry with you before.

[Chuckles] I seem to
bring that out in wives.

Never mind. It's inside joke.

I hear we're ready for transplant.

Yes.

There are no words for
what you have given us.

- All right.
- All right.

Here we go.

Hey. Looks like the second
sniper pulled through.

Yeah. Healthy enough to rot in jail

the rest of her life.

- Good.
- What are you doing?

Want to... want to go for breakfast?

Maybe we can have our first real date.

Um...

I really like you, Joey.

- Ah.
- Yeah.

- [Chuckles]
- But I can't date you.

And it wouldn't really be a date, would it?

'Cause you're here for a
couple days, and then what?

I mean, you...

You go back to Liberia, and I stay here?

No, I mean...

We just keep having fun, and...

[Sighs]

We see where it goes.

Your contract is for three years, Joey.

I don't want to be in a
holding pattern for that long.

[Sighs] I... we're just...

Victims of bad timing.

Yeah. Yeah.

It's, uh, the story of my life.

[Sighs]

Mine, too.

[Both sigh]

*****

- Hey.
- Hey.

* To be humble *

- What a nice surprise.
- * to be kind *

Uh... Look, I-I didn't want
to tell you on the phone,

um... about me taking the job.

* To a stranger, to a friend *

So you're going.

No, I'm not taking the
job in South Carolina.

I, uh, found a job here

training SWAT Teams and State Police.

That's great.

* We are how we treat each other *

But I-I don't want you

to give up that other job because of me.

I'm giving it up because of us.

* We are one *

Look, when I came back to
you, I made a commitment.

A job isn't important.

This is what matters.

* To be bold, to be brave *

You matter.

* It is the thinking that
the heart can still be saved *

I love you, and I want to be with you here.

* And the darkness can come quick *

I want that, too.

* The danger's in the anger
and the hanging on to it *

What are we waiting for?

Let's just do it.

Do what?

Get married.

[Chuckles]

* We are one *

* We are how we treat each other *

What?

[Sighs]

* When the day is done *

I was actually gonna ask you.

I packed the bags and
made a hotel reservation.

We can be in Santa Fe tonight.

You...?

Yeah.

* Tell me what it is that you see *

[Both laugh]

You were pretty sure I
was gonna say yeah, huh?

Yeah, I was pretty sure.

Huh.

* Heroes don't look like they used to *

I think some things are gonna change.

Clearly, I'm becoming way too predictable.

Well, that's what married
life's all about, right?

We'll find out.

Hey.

Listen, I'm... I'm really
happy to see you, 'cause I...

You know what? I don't want to hear it.

We'll talk about this later,

but now we are going to
Lynn's violin recital.

She's the 23rd performer out of 25,

and we're gonna stay
for the whole damn thing.

- I wouldn't miss it for the world.
- And while we are there,

I need you to actually be there with me.

Not thinking about your
patients and your cases,

not checking your cellphone.

I need you to really be there with me

watching your daughter.

It's off.

There's no place I'd rather be, baby.

- [Clears throat]
- * to the place where I belong *

I just don't want anyone to tell me

that I can have another baby.

- * When you go *
- You know?

* Turn down the light *

That I can just...

* No one's there *

Get pregnant again.

* To hold you in the night *

[Sobbing] 'Cause what they don't get

is I can't have this baby.

- * To the place where I belong *
- And I loved this baby.

I didn't know how amazing it
was to be pregnant till I wasn't.

- * When you think you're on your own *
- I just feel empty.

Yeah. I can imagine.

* I'm still coming home *

When I heard its little heart beat...

* When our picture fades in the sun *

I heard you talking to Gwen when I was out.

I heard what you said
about getting married.

* When you fold with the cards *

[Chuckles]

You always had good ears, even in a coma.

[Both chuckle]

* No, I'll never stop fighting *

Yeah. I wanted to make it more romantic,

but... I guess I'm just not very good

at this kind of thing, eh?

Um...

* Wherever we go *

* Wherever we go *

* Wherever we go *

How about it?

You don't have to do this.

* Wherever we go *

You know, don't... don't
do this because you...

* Wherever we go *

You want to make it up to me

or you think it's the right thing or...

You have to prove something.

I'm not trying to prove anything to you.

[Clears throat]

* When the lights are faded to black *

I love you.

* Only stars are guiding me back *

And... We have been
through too much together,

and I can't imagine my life without you.

* I'll keep running *

I've seen what that's like,

and I don't want to go through that again.

* To the place where I belong *

So...

You're my best friend. I'm asking you...

* When you think you're on your own *

Jordan Elizabeth Alexander...

* I'm still coming home *

Will you marry me?

* When you think you're on your own *

* I'm still coming home *
