The Night Shift (2014–2017): Season 3, Episode 1 - The Times They Are A-Changin - full transcript
[ Indistinct conversations ]
Excuse me.
I'm looking for my son...
Francis Watkins.
He was brought in with a fever.
Toph: Uh...
I don't see any
pediatric fevers on the board.
- You know of any, Kenny?
- No, no.
- Are you sure it was this hospital?
- Well, yes.
My wife left me a voice-mail.
I was at work.
She said she was bringing
our 4-year-old son in.
He had a high fever...
San Antonio memorial.
I-I know what I heard.
She was calling from the truck
while she was on the way, so...
A truck?
D-does she drive
a green pickup?
Yeah.
That's it... f-150. Why?
Kenny, get the chopper
ready to go.
Call police,
fire department, ems.
Get T.C. And Jordan
on that chopper.
We need everybody
out there right now.
Wait.
What... what's going on?
S-sir, you... you might want
to sit down for this.
What are you talking about?
Your wife was in an accident,
and your son may still
be at the crash site.
Woman:
All units, route 16.
Possible 4-year-old child
in the elements.
Doctors and ems en route.
[ Helicopter blades whirring ]
[ Siren wails ]
Bet it was my brother's.
- [ Laughs ]
- He did.
Topher, what are you
even doing here tonight?
I thought you had the night off.
I... yeah, I did.
I volunteered so we didn't have
to use another day shifter
to cover for drew
while he's in Afghanistan.
Oh, you are so full of it.
You only volunteered
so you wouldn't have
to spend an extra night with your mother.
[ Snickers ]
Okay, she's been here
almost a month.
I'm gonna take every shift I can
to get a break.
A month is never enough
with your mother?
[ Indistinct conversation ]
[ Door closes ]
I'm asking you,
will you marry me?
[ Sobs ]
I love you, but I can't.
I'm sorry.
Hey, uh, tee, did I...
Did I mention
I have you and Jordan
working together tonight?
No. No, 'cause you said
we were on alternate shifts.
I'm sorry. The schedule...
It couldn't be helped.
Hey, you have to rip
the band-aid off sometime.
Oh, this is serious. I... stop.
[ Helicopter blades whirring ]
So, then, Rick
e-mailed me this morning
and says we now have a dog.
[ Laughs ]
He's cute.
I'm sure he's great,
but maybe you don't get
a dog when I'm in Afghanistan.
Well, life goes
on back home, drew.
Your being married
doesn't stop that.
Man: Major.
But I'll tell you what...
I will check him out when
I get back in nine days.
Rick or the dog?
Nine days... don't rub it in.
I've still got 104.
Well, please, I only have nine
left because I've been for 171.
What's the first thing you're
gonna do when you get back?
[ Sighs ] I'm gonna hug
my daughter for about a week.
And I'm gonna take a bath
for about a month,
'cause I'm a little ripe.
So, Shannon,
this isn't anyone's favorite
thing to do, but it's part
of a first-year's job.
Now, only an M.D. can
legally declare someone dead,
so the retirement center
brings them by.
You check for a pulse,
then sign the death certificate.
- Any questions?
- No, pretty simple.
All right.
[ Thunder rumbles ]
We're still doing this?
They all have to go through it.
So, uh, Gwen told me
you and T.C.
Haven't spoke
for, like, two months.
Is that gonna be weird tonight?
Gwen tell you anything else
you want to share?
No, no, I'm just
gonna shut up now.
[ Thunder crashes ]
[ Both screams ]
[ Chuckles ]
- Ow!
- She's a feisty one.
Guess that's why you hired her.
- Oh!
- What the hell?!
What...
What are you doing?!
What...
What are you doing?!
How was that your
first reaction?
You jumped me, man!
Wait, I didn't.
It's a practical joke!
I didn't know.
I just reacted!
Don't pull a tiger's tail
if you don't want to get bit!
- What?!
- Okay, okay, okay, okay!
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa! Okay, okay.
Kenny:
Hey, no harm, no foul.
Everybody, I'd like
to welcome our very own
Dr. Shannon Rivera
to the night shift.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Yeah, girl! Whoo!
[ Police radio chatter ]
Jordan? Nasty two-car
accident out on route 16.
T.C. And Topher
just went out in the chopper.
The other patient
is 5 minutes out.
Okay, Kenny, Shannon,
I need you to prep trauma two.
Paul, page Scott
for a trauma consult.
Yep.
Mike: Hell of a night
for this, gentlemen.
This dry lightning is a bitch.
Try flying through it.
[ Man shouts indistinctly ]
[ Siren wails ]
What do we got, Mike?
First one's on her way
to your hospital.
That's her car there.
Witnesses said
the truck was hauling ass.
It flipped, threw the driver.
We started moving it,
then we saw her neck
hanging by a thread...
Literally.
- Where is she?
- There.
- Where?
- Right here.
[ Police radio chatter ]
[ Indistinct conversations ]
Topher: Son of a bitch.
- Stand back. Everyone back.
- Okay, this one is me, tee.
Woman: Dr. Alexander
to the ambulance bay.
- Thank you.
- What do we got?
Female, 30s, trauma to her
wrists and abdomen from mva.
- Vitals unstable.
- Okay.
- How low is her pressure?
- Not low... high.
Systolic is 190.
190?
Are you sure?
[ Moaning ]
It really hurts.
Please, you have to help her.
Okay, her heart's racing.
Let's get her inside.
Kelly, I'm really scared.
It's gonna be okay, Luce.
Run a trauma panel,
and type and cross for four.
Ma'am, I promise your friend
is in good hands
with Dr. Alexander.
She's not my friend.
She's my wife.
Oh, sorry.
Uh, let me take a look
at this cut.
So, what happened out there?
Uh, we were headed
out to dinner,
and some nut in a pickup truck
just flew by us
like 100 miles per hour, and...
And we swerved.
Kenny, I'm gonna need a lac
tray set up with 4-0 Prolene.
Kenny: Yep, got it.
Let's get you fixed up,
and I promise we'll let you know
- everything that's going on with her.
- Okay.
All right, here we go.
T.C.: Toph, careful!
Mike: You should let us
get her down!
It's not safe for you
with all this dry lightning!
And if you guys get hit,
it'll be my ass!
All right, we heard you!
We got this.
We're here to help you, ma'am.
It's gonna be all right.
I'm Dr. Zia.
That's Dr. Callahan above us.
Just hold still, okay?
I'm gonna check you out.
Then we're gonna get
out of here.
She has a strong pulse.
Whoa!
There's a big piece of glass
at the end of her SCM. Be careful.
If that glass shifts
when we're moving her,
- it's gonna slice her trachea in half.
- Yeah, copy that.
Throw me some kerlix,
and I'll stabilize the piece.
On it.
You got it?
Here... one more.
[ Groans ]
Damn it, there's bubbles...
Torn lung.
We're gonna have to intubate
as soon as we get her down.
Let's get her on the backboard
and get the hell out of here!
Get that backboard ready!
[ Thunder crashes ]
[ Helicopter blades whirring ]
Yeah... oop, oh!
Man, I'm playing dirty now.
That's a kick to the nuts.
[ Video game sound effects ]
Are you sure you've played this
before, 'cause you are really...
Okay, okay, wait...
Oh, roundhouse!
Thank you, elbow.
Blocked.
You're going down.
I had a competition last week,
and I got second.
- You did?
- Yeah.
Did daddy film it?
No.
- Well... Did you do the sparring?
- Yeah.
Oh, now you're going down.
Watch this.
[ Distant explosions]
Congratulations,
sweetheart. That's amazing.
Pause, pause, pause, pause.
[ Explosion ]
Okay, game on.
- Aw, come on, stop.
- Yeah, there was a...
[ loud explosion ]
What was that?
[ Indistinct shouting ]
That was close.
Oh, it's nothing, sweetheart.
It's just fireworks.
We set them off all the time.
- So, show me your yellow belt.
- Here, look.
I'm so proud of you.
[ Explosion ]
[ Indistinct shouting ]
- Major, we have casualties.
- Okay.
- Let's get them out!
- I got to go.
- 24.
- 7.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Marquez, let's go.
Man:
Let's go. Move!
[ Alarm blaring ]
[ Missile whooshing ]
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Man #1: Oh, my god,
oh, my god!
Man #2: Medic!
- Aah!
- My arm!
- Medic!
- My arm!
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Shrapnel injury to the abdomen.
Come on,
get him to the O.R.!
Yes, major.
Above-the-elbow amputation.
Let's get a tourniquet on this.
Let's get him inside.
Drew! Over here.
Check for shrapnel.
I'll apply the tourniquet.
[ Inhales sharply ]
My leg... how's it look?
It's gonna be all right.
Just a little bit of blood.
Yeah, a badass guy like you,
it's just like a bee sting.
Marquez: Docs, we got local
nationals coming in,
hit by our counterfire.
You're kidding me?
Drew, you finish this up.
I'll take the L.N.
- [ Groans ]
- Easy.
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Syd: Hold up!
Drew: Let's get
that gurney over here.
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Let's go!
[ Engine revs ]
Diffuse guarding.
She needs the O.R.
That's why I'm here.
Let's get her up.
Uh, there's a hitch.
Her B.P. is up to...
Oh, now it's at 230,
and her heart rate's at 140.
History of high blood pressure?
None reported, but it keeps
going up, even on nipride.
What do you think's going on?
I don't know.
Waiting for tox screens.
Well, she'll never make it through
surgery with pressure that high.
Lab says they're short-handed
and running slow.
No tox-screen results yet.
All right,
just talked to the cops.
Witnesses say
she was driving erratic,
swerving all over the road.
- Could be meth, coke?
- Hmm.
She doesn't seem the type.
At least, her partner doesn't.
Come on, Kenny, how long
you been working in the E.R.?
Good point.
It could be stimulants
for A.D.D. or something.
You know, either one
would cause the elevated B.P.,
the heart rate, erratic driving.
If the labs are running slow,
let's talk to her wife,
see what she knows.
Yeah, Paul just
sutured up her arm.
She's getting x-rays now.
I'll bring her right down.
[ Door opens ]
[ Beeping ]
And so, Shannon, if you close
a wound like I just did,
you end up with a much smaller
scar, if there even is a scar.
Maybe you can, uh,
try it next time.
Really?
Gee. Thanks.
Are there any available lockers?
Uh, Ragosa's.
Yeah, this one right there.
He's actually interning
in Dallas
to be closer to his kids
when his wife took them.
Like, it's a whole thing.
Really great story.
You should write a book.
You have an attitude.
Look who's talking.
You know, I'm not some wide-eyed
intern you're gonna impress,
and I might listen
to you a little more
if you didn't try
to humiliate me
with a practical joke
on my first night.
Okay, okay.
They did it to me
on my first night.
And I'll bet
they've done it even more
after that, haven't they?
Yeah, yeah.
Uh, n-no.
How is that even relevant?
Well, I don't let
anyone mess with me,
and after they
saw I punched you,
no one else will
mess with me, either.
Wait, so, y-you punched me
'cause you were scared
or to send a message?
Okay, hey, t-this is a
hospital okay... n-not a prison.
[ Door opens ]
Listen, I'm... I'm a doctor, right?
You should l-listen...
To me.
Syd: Guys, 3... 2... 1.
Man #1: Let's get bed 3 prepped for O.R.
Man #2: Yes, sir.
[ Distant explosion ]
We know what happened?
She was riding in a taxi that
got caught in the crossfire.
The driver was DOA. She wouldn't
let the medics examine her.
[ Speaking Pashto ]
Dr. Jennings.
[ Speaking Pashto ]
I speak English.
My name is Sharbat.
Okay, good. Sharbat,
that's a beautiful name.
I'm here to help you.
Is there anything hurting?
My stomach and my chest.
It hurts when I breathe.
Okay, well, we'll check you out.
How old are you?
15.
Can I have my phone?
I need to call my brother.
Uh, yeah, we'll try
and track that down for you.
Please, I need
to talk to him now.
I understand, but I need
to treat you first, okay?
So, I need to get this off
so I can examine you.
But he cannot see me.
Sharbat, I'll turn around.
I promise.
I'm just here
to help Dr. Jennings.
Sharbat, you're pregnant.
Do you know how many months?
I think around 8.
We're just gonna take
a look at the baby.
Do you have a husband?
H-he was killed
by the Taliban.
That's why
I was leaving my village.
They will kill us all.
[ Missile whooshing ]
[ Explosion ]
You have to call my brother.
He's the only one
that can help me.
Can you pause it right there?
Dr. Alister,
can you take a look at this?
Does... does he...
Does... does he have to?
Please, Sharbat,
I need his help to make sure
you and the baby are safe.
- You're talking...
- Yes.
Sharbat, your baby is okay,
but you got a small tear
in your uterus
from the accident.
We're gonna get an American baby
doctor here to come and see you,
but it's gonna take some time
for them to get here.
Please, just help my baby.
We will, but in the meanwhile,
I need to take some pictures
of your chest to make sure
that you're okay.
Okay.
Kelly:
I don't understand.
If she needs surgery,
why is she still in the E.R.?
We're having trouble getting her
heart rate and pressure down.
We just saw a doctor a couple of weeks ago.
Her pressure was fine.
W-why is it so high now?
Well, we were hoping
maybe you could tell us.
Is she taking any medication
for A.D.D., narcolepsy?
No.
Any chance she was
using drugs... meth, cocaine?
No. God, no.
She's completely healthy.
Lucia won't even take
an aspirin.
She's strictly vegan.
Are you sure?
Witnesses said she
was driving erratically.
She's not on anything.
I know my wife.
We're not suggesting
that you don't,
but any information that you
have could help save her.
- Shannon, can you pull the...
- ultrasound?
Thank you.
Kelly:
What... what are you doing?
Now we need to monitor
the bleeding in her kidney.
[ Beeping ]
Paul, thoughts?
Bleeding is stable.
That's good.
Any sicknesses lately...
Uh, flu?
Uh, no, not really.
Oh, she's complained
of headaches, hot flashes,
dizziness,
but the doctor just said,
"welcome to menopause."
- Was the doctor a man?
Yeah, he is.
[ Monitor beeping erratically ]
Jordan: She's in v-fib.
Shannon, paddles.
Oh, my god.
What's happening?!
- Nurse.
- Why... what are you...
Kelly: Oh, my god, help her!
You have to do something!
- What's going on?!
- It's okay, ma'am.
Nurse: Please, we need you
to step outside.
- No.
- Okay, clear.
- Clear.
- Clear.
- Please.
[ Paddles thump ]
[ Flatline ]
Still v-fib.
All right, charge.
[ Beeping, whirring ]
- We clear?
- Clear.
- Clear.
[ Thunder crashes ]
Topher:
Okay, sounds good.
You're in on the left.
- Okay.
- [ Sighs ]
- Aw.
- You okay?
Yeah, I just tweaked
my shoulder a little bit.
Got to say,
it's good to have you
back out here with me, buddy.
Yeah, it feels good to be back.
Yeah. I get so bored
being charge doc, you know?
I spend half the night
sitting behind that desk.
Why can't I go out sometimes?
You know you can go out
whenever you want.
You're the boss.
Damn right.
Yeah.
I want to get back
to who I used to be,
instead of this house cat
I turned into.
Besides, who knows
when I can send you
and Jordan out
together again, right?
Yeah, probably best
to wait on that.
Things are still a little raw.
[ Monitor beeping ]
Crap, Toph, Toph, Toph.
The pressure's dropping,
the pressure's dropping.
She's bleeding out.
Toph, we got to pull that glass.
- Oh, is that all?
- Yeah.
Surgery in a flying earthquake.
Okay, look...
If you pull the glass,
I'll find the bleeder
and clamp it off.
All right, let's use
the nod this time.
It's hard enough to intubate.
Okay.
We'll never see that bleeder without it.
Got it?
Clamp?
Wait.
Got it.
Pull it out
nice and slow, buddy.
Yeah.
Okay, that's the plan.
Yeah.
God.
Look at that thing.
It's like an iceberg.
Lucky it didn't take
her head off.
Okay, I see the bleeder.
[ Thunder crashes ]
Aah!
Jesus! Son of...
- What?
- I got... I got whited out by lightning.
- Great, so you're blind now, too?
- No, I got this.
Just be steady.
I'm close, close.
[ Chuckles ]
The point.
Got it.
Bleeding stopped.
Okay, pressure's coming back up.
Nice job.
[ Sighs ]
Hold compressions.
- I have a pulse.
- We're in sinus.
Shannon: B.P. and heart rate
are coming down.
What do you think
caused the v-fib?
[ Beeping ]
- It was the F.A.S.T. scan.
- Right.
What do you mean?
Scott: When Dr. Alexander
ran the ultrasound probe
over the kidney, the heart rate
and the B.P. shot up.
Jordan: Like this.
[ Rapid beeping ]
Now look here.
Above the kidney,
what do you see?
A pheochromocytoma...
Tumor of the adrenal gland.
Paul, I was asking Shannon.
I know you know.
- And I knew that.
- [ Scoffs ]
What the hell
is your problem, man?
- What the hell is your problem?
- You got to be the big man.
Like, all day, I've been trying to be nice.
Is it 'cause I'm a girl?
- Then, like, you just...
- Hey, hey, hey, the patient.
It must have gotten crushed
in the accident
and released adrenaline
into her bloodstream.
Yeah, and every time we pushed
on it, it had the same effect.
So, it needs to come out.
Let the O.R. know we're coming.
Not so fast.
Operating on it
can release a fatal dose
of hormones into her system.
So, Shannon, what do we do?
Put her on Alpha and beta
blockers for the next few days
until it's safe to go
into surgery.
Exactly.
And hope she doesn't start
bleeding again.
Major! Captain!
Major, captain, new development!
Her husband is here for her.
- What? Her husband?
- Sharbat, what is going on?
- I thought he was dead.
- Where is she?!
Marquez: He's got to be
somebody important,
'cause he walked
right through security.
- What are you doing to my wife?
- You can't just walk in here.
- You got to get out.
- Yes, I can.
- No, you can't.
- Get away from her!
You're a man! You cannot look
at her! We are saving her life!
I think that supercedes those rules!
Get away from her.
- Drew!
- I'm not leaving!
- Get away!
- Drew, stand down!
I have got it from here.
Leave now.
That is an order!
Listen to her.
He should have never been here.
I'm sorry, sir.
There was an emergency.
Your wife was in an accident.
There's been
some bleeding around
the heart that I'm draining now.
There also seems to have
been an issue with the baby.
Then she needs a midwife.
I'm taking her.
[ Sighs ]
She can't go now.
She's been sedated, and she is
too sick for a midwife.
Her uterus has a small tear.
So far, the baby is okay, but we
have called in a specialist.
I make decisions for my wife,
not you.
She needs medical attention.
You are guests in our country.
She's my property,
and I'm taking her!
[ Speaking Pashto ]
This may be your
country, but right now
she is my patient.
You've got a problem,
you file a complaint.
Until then,
get out of my E.R.
Ah, you will pay for this.
[ Shouting in Pashto ]
[ Sighs ]
I thank you.
You see?
Please, don't let him take me.
[ Sobbing ]
[ Indistinct conversations ]
42-year-old female,
deep lacerations to her neck
causing
a tracheobronchial injury.
I had to clamp off
her pulmonary vein.
E.T. tube's
in the left main bronchus.
- Sats and B.P. are stable.
- Not bad for in the field.
- We got it from here.
- [ Groans ]
Hey, need me to massage
that shoulder, old man?
No, I'm good.
It's just... it's just sore.
[ Cellphone ringing ]
What is this?
10 bucks says it's Janet
complaining about your mother?
Oh, yeah?
Yeah? Okay.
Well, you owe me $10
'cause it's my mother
complaining about Janet.
Hi, mom.
Miss you.
O-okay.
Can you speak English?
'Cause I can't understand
you when you talk this fast.
[ Chuckles ]
Hey.
Hey.
Do you, uh, want to...
[ Indistinct conversations ]
So, I heard there was a bit
of a situation out there.
Yeah.
I know you're not the biggest
fan of lightning.
But, you know, you don't have
a choice, right?
Uh, s-Scott has her now.
So, how... how's the other
patient... the driver?
- She went into v-fib arrest.
- Oh.
- Pretty sure she has a bleeding pheo.
- Wow, that's not good.
So, listen, I, uh, want to...
- Let's talk outside.
- Yep.
Look, I just don't want it
to be awkward
for us working together,
for you.
I don't want it to be
awkward for you, either,
but I don't see...
I don't see how...
- Let's get him inside.
- It's not going to be.
- I mean, you'll figure it out, right?
- Yeah.
I think the best thing
we could do is just face it,
and eventually,
we'll get over it, right?
That sounds like
you're not thinking
about going back
to the day shift.
Why would I...
Why?
I... I love
the night shift.
Uh, do you want to transfer
to the day shift?
[ Chuckling ] No.
I mean, it might be
easier for you.
[ Chuckling ] Oh.
I mean, you said you
were considering it anyway.
Um, no.
No, I didn't.
You suggested it
when we broke up,
but I never said
that I was going to.
- Yes, you did.
- No, I didn't. No, I didn't.
- You... you... you said it.
- Okay...
- Woman: Hey, need the room.
- That's the thing... you don't listen.
I... well... all right, you just get
an idea in your head
- of what you want to happen...
- Okay, okay.
And then you just expect it to.
I'm not the only one... I'm not
the only one who does that.
- Meaning?
- Like... like when I asked you could I go
to Afghanistan,
and you said, "sure."
And then I went and came back,
you were pissed at me.
- I never said go.
- Yes, you did.
No, I didn't.
I said that I wasn't
gonna stop you,
because you would
resent me if I did.
- That's the same thing.
- No, it's not.
[ Sighs ]
Okay, well, T.C.,
did I want you to go? No.
What pregnant woman wants
to send the father
of her child into a war zone?
Then why not just say that?
You would have gone anyway.
Mollie:
Excuse me, doctors.
Jordan, your patient's new
CBC is back.
The lab says to call them asap.
- Excuse me.
- Mm-hmm.
Give it some time, honey.
- She just needs time.
- Thank you.
[ Suction whooshing ]
Got to say, for a woman who was ejected
out of her truck onto a freeway
sign, she's doing pretty well.
She's very lucky she had
such a great surgeon.
Yeah, you were awesome.
I was talking about you, Paul.
Really nice assist here.
Like I said,
you've got the gift.
- All done with the sutures?
- Yeah.
All right, let's go take
a look at the film,
make sure there weren't
any issues
with her other lung
before we close her up.
[ Monitor beeping ]
Hey.
What's going on with you
and this new intern, Shannon?
She's very annoying,
and she thinks she knows
way more than she actually does.
So did you,
if I remember correctly.
But from her work
at the reservation clinic,
she's coming in
with way more experience
than most first-years.
But the bigger issue is
if she's gonna
rattle you like that,
what's gonna happen to you
when things go south in here?
Well, it's totally different.
How?
[ Sighs ]
I'm in control here.
I'm in control in the big stuff
like my hand.
I almost lost everything,
but I took it like a man. [ Sighs ]
- I did the rehab, and I'm here.
- That's true, you did.
Right, but the social stuff
never... Been the best at.
You know, like, uh,
I've always been
the smartest guy in the room.
I mean, not to say that I'm
the smartest guy in this room.
Okay, look, Paul. Paul, listen to me.
You're very smart.
I need you to have the same
confidence out there,
when you're dealing
with your bosses
and your ex-colleagues
and everyone else
that you have in here
with your surgeries.
A night shift at a busy
trauma center like this
is the wild west,
and we are the calm
in the eye of the storm.
You know, we make it all
okay for everyone.
You get it?
Right.
Scott, I need you.
Next up.
[ Sighs ]
Okay, Paul,
finish the repair and close.
Okay.
6-0 Prolene
on a needle driver, please.
The repeat blood test shows that
her blood count is dropping,
which means that her tumor
is probably bleeding again.
- So, can't you just fix it?
- It's not that simple.
Normally, we premedicate someone
for a couple of weeks
with adrenaline-blocking
medication before operating,
but with her bleeding again,
we have to go in.
But you should know there are
serious risks taking it out now,
but the risks are far more
serious if we don't.
Are you telling me
she could die?
We're telling you
it's complicated.
Then uncomplicate it for me.
I wish we could, but we can't.
Now, it's risky,
but this is her best chance.
We weren't even supposed
to go out tonight,
but I-i pushed her
because I wanted to.
You know, maybe if we
had just stayed home,
this wouldn't have happened...
- Okay, whoa, whoa.
- Or we wouldn't have crashed.
Kelly, this is not
your fault, okay?
Sometimes bad things happen
to good people.
It is my fault.
We've been fighting
so much lately, and in the car,
I got so mad, I asked her
for a separation.
And she was so upset...
[ Speaking Spanish ]
Okay, all right, all right, um,
why don't we get some coffee.
If we move her,
she doesn't make it...
Neither does the baby.
I'm just telling you
what our orders are.
I didn't say
that I agreed with them.
So we're just gonna kowtow
to this bastard
who calls this
little girl his property?
Back in the states, he's in jail
for statutory rape.
Yeah, and you don't think
it pisses me off?
I've got a daughter two years
younger than her.
[ Grunts ]
This country is like
stepping into the Bible.
But as much as we don't like it,
we are required by our superiors
to follow their rules.
This is what
victory looks like, drew.
Get used to it. You're not back
in your chummy E.R.
Yeah, back there, we'd figure
out a way to help her.
Sharbat, how are you feeling?
The baby?
He's fine.
He?
It's a boy?
- Yes.
- [ Sighs ]
Sharbat, I need... I need you to
talk to me about your husband.
I'm sorry I lied.
I just... I didn't want you
to contact him.
I didn't want him to find me.
He wants to take you back
to the village.
- No, no.
- We can delay it.
I don't know what else
there is we...
You don't know how cruel he is.
You don't know how cruel
his family is to me.
I was sold to him at 13
by my parents.
- I hate this country.
- He doesn't care about me.
He only wants his baby boy.
My brother is trying to help me.
He made enough money
to go to Australia.
- You have to find him.
- We are trying, but it's tricky for us
because your husband is right
about one thing.
We have to follow Afghan laws.
[ Sighs ]
Then I am dead.
- She said Annie called this in.
- Who's Annie?
She's bringing in
an O.D.
How'd she sound?
How's she doing?
- I don't know. She sounded upset.
- Who's Annie?
Kenny: T.C.'s sister-in-law
who disappeared last year,
cleaned him out, showed up
a month ago out of the blue.
- Hey.
- 29-year-old male, O.D.
Pinpoint pupils.
B.P. is 90/60.
Any idea what he's on?
Oxycontin.
Okay, Shannon you're with me.
Let's put him in curtain 2.
You okay?
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
Yeah, I'm good.
Okay, hypotension
with respiratory depression.
What do we do?
High-flow oxygen,
I.V. fluids, Narcan.
Looks like somebody
paid attention in class.
Go ahead and do it.
2-milligram dose?
Actually
in chronic narcotic users,
you should start
with a .4-milligram dose
to decrease the risk
of flash pulmonary edema.
Wow.
Did you just pay attention
in class, or did you teach it?
I've done this
a few times before.
- Right, at the clinic.
- Yeah.
Plus, I had it done to me
when I O.D.'d.
- [ Chuckles ]
- No, really.
I had a pretty bad
Vicodin habit in high school.
Oh.
Don't worry, I'm all better now.
Oh... Good.
[ Chuckles ]
[ Breathing heavily ]
Hey.
Hello, sir.
Welcome back to the world.
Oh, you son of a bitch.
- Excuse me?
- You ruined my high!
Actually, we saved your life.
You ruined my high!
Maybe you should lie back.
What...
I'll show you.
This is for you, doctor!
[ Grunting ]
Oh, god.
Cleanup on aisle 3!
For the record,
I never did anything like that.
Is that better, buddy?
Yeah.
- Ah.
- [ Sighs ]
The accident is not
why she's in surgery.
It's the adrenal tumor.
It's a... it's like
a time bomb inside of her,
and it could have happened
anytime, anywhere,
so that has nothing
to do with you.
I just got so tired
of the arguing.
All right, look, uh...
I know that you and I
don't know each other,
but do you mind if I ask...
Has the fighting just been
this past couple of months,
you know,
where she's been irritable,
she's had angry outbursts?
Yeah, that's it.
She's just been so angry at me.
Okay, well, those are all,
you know,
symptoms of adrenaline leaking
from the tumor.
Oh, my god.
I'm not saying
that it's the cause
of all your problems, but...
- It explains a lot.
- Yeah.
We've been through so much
these past few months.
Sometimes it's hard to get
past all that pain.
- You know?
- [ Chuckles ]
Yeah.
The baby?
Uh...
Yeah, I've been there.
Hell, I think I'm still there.
But, you know, you...
[ Sighs ]
You got to try, because even
if it doesn't work out,
at least you know
you did your best.
I just...
I hope that we can get back
to where we used to be.
I hope you can, too.
All I'm saying is
I don't like you working
in a halfway house with addicts.
Lots of temptation.
I just... I just don't think
it's good for you.
I know you don't,
but I told you when I agreed
to stay with you
that I needed this.
* I'm still hoping *
I need to see
wasted lives and how close
I came to being one of them.
* it's ever coming *
Okay, I'll... you know what?
I'll back off, all right?
I've... I've had enough fights
with women tonight.
Just... just you do what you want.
* just tell me something *
Jordan?
Yeah, first night back working together.
* can I stop running? *
It took about three minutes
to get into it.
* Yeah, I broke through *
well, you're both hurt.
When you get hurt, you lash out.
* Walls to get back home to yours *
it's easier than feeling pain.
Well, you could just move on.
* Now I am unglued *
[ Scoffs ] Don't be such a guy, T.C.
She lost a child.
She lost you.
You guys have been together
off and on for...
What, since you were like 25.
Give it some time.
She went to work on
a reservation for two months.
Thought she'd be fine
when she got back.
- Fine? She's not sick, T.C.
- Yeah.
Okay, so, what? You're
defending Jordan
now? She's figuring
her life out.
Look, T.C., I love you.
You're my family, but sorry,
dude, I get it.
I see her side of things.
You push the edge,
you take chances.
It's why you can save lives
when other people can't.
You have a gift, and that's
an exciting guy to meet,
to date... But not to marry?
- But not to marry.
- That's not new, okay?
She knew exactly who I was
from the start.
And then,
all of a sudden, it was,
"you can't get on a Harley."
You can't join
S.W.A.T.-Team training.
"You can't go to Afghanistan.
You can't..."
no one wants the father of their
child going to Afghanistan.
You weren't sent
over there, T.C.
- You chose to go.
- To look after my best friend.
And she probably thought
she was your best friend.
* River ever rolling *
Look...
You don't want to change,
and you
shouldn't have to change,
but don't blame her
'cause she changed.
* The light
is coming on everywhere *
It's very interesting advice
coming from the woman
who married
my crazy-ass brother.
Yeah, and I was a widow at 28.
* Oh, I'm still *
Right.
[ Elevator bell dings ]
- And this one just came in?
- Yeah.
Well, I got the rejection letter
from Loyola earlier.
Now this one from Seton hall.
That's five law-school
rejections. Game over.
Now, first of all,
it's only four, okay?
You got wait-listed
at Georgetown.
Which is a nicer way of saying
they rejected me.
Look, you applied late, okay?
You retake the LSAT.
You have time to take one of
those test-tutoring courses.
Then you'll knock it out
of the park.
Look, all those law schools
will be begging to get you.
I don't know.
Maybe it wasn't meant to be.
Unh-unh-unh.
Hey, hey.
Don't go quitting
on your dreams, now.
Now, how many times have you
told me about how tired you are
of being on this side
of those 911 calls...
That you wished you could help
those women
before it's too late.
- About a million, gazillion times.
- Yeah.
- [ Chuckles ]
- Yeah?
So it'll take a little longer
to be a lawyer than you thought.
Buck up.
You're the best.
You know that?
- Of course I know that.
- [ Chuckles ]
So, um, is Annie okay?
Yeah.
Thought she'd be more shook up,
but, uh, she's hanging in there.
What's the update
on the women we brought in
from the flipped-over
truck?
I heard it went well.
Paul is closing up now.
That's great.
[ Monitor beeping ]
- Pressure is dropping.
- Yeah, I-i know.
More lap pads.
I need more lap pads, please.
I took out the packaging
to close up.
I must have dislodged a clot
from the subclavian artery.
- Clamp.
- Heart rate climbing.
I know.
Too much blood.
I can't see.
- You need help.
- No, I've got this.
Woman:
I'm paging Dr. Callahan.
[ Beeping ]
What's going on, Paul?
Why did you page me?
I've got it.
They shouldn't have called you.
Let me in there.
I'll show you.
- I got this, T.C.
- Paul.
No, I said I got it!
I'm the surgeon!
I'm sorry. I just...
I-i have this, all right?
Vessel loops on a hemostat.
T.C., hold pressure
that side, please.
- Okay, you got it.
- Thank you.
Paul: Okay.
Hemostat.
Hold pressure.
[ Chuckles ]
Good job.
Guess you didn't need me.
That's what I told them.
Let's repair that artery.
7-0 vicryl to me
and Dr. Callahan, please.
Happy to assist, doctor.
And... Cut.
Scott:
Get that off to pathology.
- Right away, doctor.
- Look at that.
Could have gone
into bomb retrieval.
[ Chuckles ] Well, there's
always time to change careers.
[ Rapid beeping ]
B.P.'s back up.
It's 170 systolic.
What the hell?
Did you tie off all the vessels?
- Yes, yes, I did.
- Heart rate's 160.
[ Flatline ]
She's coding.
Come on.
Get this draping off.
Charge me up.
Hey!
Everything all right?
- I heard she was in trouble.
- False alarm.
Paul had it all under control.
The guy is a rock in the O.R.
You, uh, talk to any
of her people yet?
No, I left a message,
haven't heard back.
State police is tracking down
the truck registration,
see if they can locate
any of the family.
Okay, when you do, let me know.
Be nice to be able
to give some good news.
- Yeah.
- It doesn't make any sense.
I got the whole thing out.
Scott, what if you didn't get
it all out?
I did.
I got it all.
Look, there's nothing.
Nothing there.
Okay, but what if
there's a second one?
10% of all pheos
have a secondary tumor
outside of the adrenal gland.
Oh, that would explain a lot
of this, but where is it?
[ Rapid beeping ]
Scott, her blood pressure
is still rising.
[ Sighs ]
Come on, show yourself,
you bastard.
Release the retractor.
Hah, there... just distal
to the aortic bifurcation.
Clamp.
There you go.
B.P. is down to 180/100.
[ Steady beeping ]
Nice save.
Very nice. All right, let's get
that sucker out of there.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
What?
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
I un... I understand, sir.
No, sir.
Yes, sir.
I will.
Thank you, sir.
[ Sighs ]
[ Beeping ]
- Didn't sound good.
- Yeah, it's not.
Sharbat's husband is a little
more connected than we thought.
So, what does that mean?
It means we're just trying
to figure things out.
Her father-in-law is
on the provincial council.
He's threatening to close roads,
deny access to villages,
end the supply chain.
He can make life miserable
for the base.
Why are you whispering?
What is going on?
Well, we're just talking about
some medical stuff, Sharbat.
Did you tell the general
what was at stake?
Yeah, I told him.
I was the one getting
my ass reamed, okay?
And here's the big surprise...
He doesn't care.
He's big picture...
Solve the problem,
keep the place running.
The general was
very clear about that.
Are you sending me
back with him?
Okay, you'll have to keep calm
for the baby, okay?
We're gonna try
to figure this out.
Don't you promise her anything.
I'm not.
We are trying to figure it out.
[ Crying ]
I can't go, I can't go.
I can't. I'd rather die
than go back there.
[ Rapid beeping ]
Distant heart sounds.
Got jvd.
- She's in cardiac tamponade.
- [ Sighs ]
Looks like the drainage
was a temporary fix.
She needs a pericardial window.
Let's get her into the O.R.
I thought you got all of it.
- I did.
- Dr. Clemmens removed all of the tumors
from Lucia's adrenal gland,
but the cancer
has spread
through her lymph nodes.
And I'm afraid it's stage iv.
S-so,
what's the treatment?
I'm sorry, Kelly, but there
is no treatment at this point.
It's a matter of weeks,
a couple months, maybe.
Right now, we need to focus
on Lucia's comfort
and pain management.
I just learned that her anger
wasn't her fault,
and I... I was gonna get
my Lucia back.
And...
Now you're telling me
that I'm gonna lose her forever?
We'll,
we're... we're very sorry.
There was no way of knowing
until we got in there.
Our last words were a fight.
Yeah, your last words before
the accident, but now you have
a chance to tell her
what she really means to you.
Northwestern med school...
Pretty impressive.
- [ Chuckles ]
- What made you choose them?
Shannon:
I look good in purple.
So, after I graduated,
I met Jordan on the Rez.
Not a lot to do around there,
so we buddied up pretty quick.
She offered me a job...
Chicago winter sucks,
so I ditched that
internship, and here I am.
Well, we're glad you did.
Anybody that can throw
a punch like that
is gonna fit right in
on the night shift.
Oh-oh!
Somebody's in shape.
Nice balls, man.
- All right.
- That was a little hoop action.
Kind of creepy for your desktop.
- These are pictures for my brochure...
- Uh-huh.
- That I'm opening up a crossfit gym.
- Uh-huh.
I'm... I'm just trying to decide
which one I want to use!
Go with the big balls!
[ Indistinct conversations ]
What's the matter, Toph?
You okay?
Yeah, I just pulled
a muscle out in the field.
Just had a scan...
Nothing torn.
- Want me to rub it down for you?
- Just stay where you are.
Excuse me.
I'm looking for my son...
Francis Watkins.
He was brought in with a fever.
Uh...
I don't see any pediatric fevers
on the board.
- You know of any, Kenny?
- No, no.
- Are you sure it was this hospital?
- Well, yes.
My wife left me a voice-mail.
I was at work.
But it's loud machinery,
so I just got it.
Uh... She said she was bringing
our 4-year-old son in...
He had a high fever...
San Antonio memorial.
I-I know what I heard.
She was calling from the truck
while she was on the way, so...
A truck?
Does she drive a green pickup?
Yeah.
That's it... f-150. Why?
You sure your son was with her?
Yes, she was bringing him in.
That's my point.
Kenny, get the chopper
ready to go.
Call police,
fire department, ems.
Get T.C. and Jordan
on that chopper.
We need everybody
out there right now.
Wait.
What... what's going on?
S-sir, you... you might want
to sit down for this.
What are you talking about?
Your wife was in an accident,
and your son may still be
at the crash site.
Woman:
All units, route 16.
Possible 4-year-old child
in the elements.
Doctors and ems en route.
[ Helicopter blades whirring ]
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Man: Let's go!
He's already been
out here almost two hours!
T.C.: I can't believe
I missed the kid.
Everybody did.
You were here for the mother.
It's not your job
to search the field
looking for other cases.
All right, everybody spread out!
Kenny:
Hey, check over there!
- I already checked.
- Well, check again!
Copy that.
Frankie!
- Frankie!
- Frankie!
- Frankie!
Hey, get the chopper
to shine its light over there.
I.V. is in, major.
We'll get her under in no time.
It's gonna be okay, Sharbat.
We're gonna take care
of you and your baby.
- Please find my brother.
- Got it?
Man: Let's get
the monitor hooked up.
[ Indistinct conversations ]
Just got some intel
on her brother.
Looks like he's
in the poppy trade.
Well, that's probably
the only way
they could afford
to pay the smugglers.
- It's not like there's any jobs here.
- I hope so.
To be perfectly honest, though,
the only thing I care
about right now is her.
Marquez: Whoa, docs.
General Rozenfeld wants
to talk to you now.
Did he say about what?
Yeah, he's always sharing
his inner thoughts with me.
Hit line 2 before it blows up.
[ Sighs ]
[ Beep ]
- General?
- What the hell are you doing?
Rozenfeld: I told you
to turn that girl over.
Now I hear she's headed
to your O.R.
Did you understand that was
a direct order to release her?
You are to stop immediately.
Drew: Sir,
this is captain Alister.
She's actually not
headed to surgery.
She's already in surgery
with major Jennings.
Why the hell would you do that?
I'm gonna stomp
your ass so hard...
Sir, her heart
was barely beating.
She would have died.
I felt it was a worse situation
to have an Afghan national
die on our base,
so I started on her.
Then major Jennings
had to step in and help.
If she dies,
I'm gonna fry both your asses.
You fix her up
and get her off this base asap.
Do you understand me?!
Yes, sir.
- Major...
- Don't say a word.
You just lied to a general.
Just get your ass
in there and help.
Hey, don't look at me.
- Frankie!
- Cover over here!
Frankie!
Man:
I got nothing over here!
Hey, Jordan, see that?
[ Lightning crashes ]
Jordan:
Is that a car seat?
[ Muttering ]
Hey, they find him yet?
- No.
- Aw, they will.
No thanks to me.
[ Indistinct conversations ]
Hey, y-you couldn't go, man.
You hurt your shoulder.
I-it... I-i know
you're trying to help make
me feel better, Kenny,
but it's not helping.
Woman:
Lab tech to satellite pharmacy.
Lab tech to satellite pharmacy.
Hi.
Okay, look,
I-i read your background.
Did a lot of work
on the Rez clinic.
Done a lot of things
that interns
don't normally do
until their second year.
I get it.
Doesn't mean
you know everything.
I never said I know everything.
Is that your idea
of apologizing,
because it's not very good.
Apology?
Why would I apologize?
No, no, I'm... I'm just saying
that I'm here to help.
All right, so if you have
any questions, just ask.
And, uh, if I'm too busy
on a shift or something,
we can meet before
or after work, um, to...
Are you hitting on me?
What?
No.
No, no, I was just...
Dude, don't hit on women
in the workplace.
- Whoa.
- That is so unprofessional.
Oh, oh, uh, uh, uh,
that's not...
That's not even
where I was going with it.
It was just like... I was trying
to, like be... be like a...
- I'm messing with you.
- Huh?
I had to get even with you
for pranking me.
- So had you.
- For a second.
Found the boy.
Hey, everybody be quiet!
Say again.
Man: We found him.
We found the boy.
[ Cheers and applause ]
T.C.:
All right, take him down!
He's good right there!
Pulse is thready.
He feels hypothermic.
He's not responding.
Okay, we got to get him
to the chopper.
- Let's go.
- 1, 2, 3.
- Go!
- Go!
Opening up the pericardium now.
- Ready with suction.
- Okay, retract.
The general wants
an update, major.
Could go either way.
- Sir, you can't come in.
- Give me my wife!
- Get the hell out of here!
- You can't do that!
She is open on our table.
You're not sterile.
You need to get
the hell out of here.
- Not this time.
- Hey, Tommy, call the M.P.S.
Listen, I'm sick of your...
[ Gun cocks ]
Give her to me.
[ Man singing indistinctly ]
Okay, all right.
Why don't you just drop it?
[ Grunting ]
Drew!
[ Gunshot ]
Drew!
[ Singing continues ]
[ Mid-tempo
instrumental music plays ]
Excuse me.
I'm looking for my son...
Francis Watkins.
He was brought in with a fever.
Toph: Uh...
I don't see any
pediatric fevers on the board.
- You know of any, Kenny?
- No, no.
- Are you sure it was this hospital?
- Well, yes.
My wife left me a voice-mail.

She said she was bringing
our 4-year-old son in.
He had a high fever...

I-I know what I heard.
She was calling from the truck
while she was on the way, so...
A truck?
D-does she drive
a green pickup?
Yeah.
That's it... f-150. Why?
Kenny, get the chopper
ready to go.
Call police,
fire department, ems.
Get T.C. And Jordan
on that chopper.
We need everybody
out there right now.
Wait.
What... what's going on?
S-sir, you... you might want
to sit down for this.
What are you talking about?
Your wife was in an accident,
and your son may still
be at the crash site.
Woman:
All units, route 16.
Possible 4-year-old child
in the elements.
Doctors and ems en route.
[ Helicopter blades whirring ]
[ Siren wails ]
Bet it was my brother's.
- [ Laughs ]
- He did.
Topher, what are you
even doing here tonight?
I thought you had the night off.
I... yeah, I did.
I volunteered so we didn't have
to use another day shifter
to cover for drew
while he's in Afghanistan.
Oh, you are so full of it.
You only volunteered
so you wouldn't have
to spend an extra night with your mother.
[ Snickers ]
Okay, she's been here
almost a month.
I'm gonna take every shift I can
to get a break.
A month is never enough
with your mother?
[ Indistinct conversation ]
[ Door closes ]
I'm asking you,
will you marry me?
[ Sobs ]
I love you, but I can't.
I'm sorry.
Hey, uh, tee, did I...
Did I mention
I have you and Jordan
working together tonight?
No. No, 'cause you said
we were on alternate shifts.
I'm sorry. The schedule...
It couldn't be helped.
Hey, you have to rip
the band-aid off sometime.
Oh, this is serious. I... stop.
[ Helicopter blades whirring ]
So, then, Rick
e-mailed me this morning
and says we now have a dog.
[ Laughs ]
He's cute.
I'm sure he's great,
but maybe you don't get
a dog when I'm in Afghanistan.
Well, life goes
on back home, drew.
Your being married
doesn't stop that.
Man: Major.
But I'll tell you what...
I will check him out when
I get back in nine days.
Rick or the dog?
Nine days... don't rub it in.
I've still got 104.
Well, please, I only have nine
left because I've been for 171.
What's the first thing you're
gonna do when you get back?
[ Sighs ] I'm gonna hug
my daughter for about a week.
And I'm gonna take a bath
for about a month,
'cause I'm a little ripe.
So, Shannon,
this isn't anyone's favorite
thing to do, but it's part
of a first-year's job.
Now, only an M.D. can
legally declare someone dead,
so the retirement center
brings them by.
You check for a pulse,
then sign the death certificate.
- Any questions?
- No, pretty simple.
All right.
[ Thunder rumbles ]
We're still doing this?
They all have to go through it.
So, uh, Gwen told me
you and T.C.
Haven't spoke
for, like, two months.
Is that gonna be weird tonight?
Gwen tell you anything else
you want to share?
No, no, I'm just
gonna shut up now.
[ Thunder crashes ]
[ Both screams ]
[ Chuckles ]
- Ow!
- She's a feisty one.
Guess that's why you hired her.
- Oh!
- What the hell?!
What...
What are you doing?!
What...
What are you doing?!
How was that your
first reaction?
You jumped me, man!
Wait, I didn't.
It's a practical joke!
I didn't know.
I just reacted!
Don't pull a tiger's tail
if you don't want to get bit!
- What?!
- Okay, okay, okay, okay!
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa! Okay, okay.
Kenny:
Hey, no harm, no foul.
Everybody, I'd like
to welcome our very own
Dr. Shannon Rivera
to the night shift.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Yeah, girl! Whoo!
[ Police radio chatter ]
Jordan? Nasty two-car
accident out on route 16.
T.C. And Topher
just went out in the chopper.
The other patient
is 5 minutes out.
Okay, Kenny, Shannon,
I need you to prep trauma two.
Paul, page Scott
for a trauma consult.
Yep.
Mike: Hell of a night
for this, gentlemen.
This dry lightning is a bitch.
Try flying through it.
[ Man shouts indistinctly ]
[ Siren wails ]
What do we got, Mike?
First one's on her way
to your hospital.
That's her car there.
Witnesses said
the truck was hauling ass.
It flipped, threw the driver.
We started moving it,
then we saw her neck
hanging by a thread...
Literally.
- Where is she?
- There.
- Where?
- Right here.
[ Police radio chatter ]
[ Indistinct conversations ]
Topher: Son of a bitch.
- Stand back. Everyone back.
- Okay, this one is me, tee.
Woman: Dr. Alexander
to the ambulance bay.
- Thank you.
- What do we got?
Female, 30s, trauma to her
wrists and abdomen from mva.
- Vitals unstable.
- Okay.
- How low is her pressure?
- Not low... high.
Systolic is 190.
190?
Are you sure?
[ Moaning ]
It really hurts.
Please, you have to help her.
Okay, her heart's racing.
Let's get her inside.
Kelly, I'm really scared.
It's gonna be okay, Luce.
Run a trauma panel,
and type and cross for four.
Ma'am, I promise your friend
is in good hands
with Dr. Alexander.
She's not my friend.
She's my wife.
Oh, sorry.
Uh, let me take a look
at this cut.
So, what happened out there?
Uh, we were headed
out to dinner,
and some nut in a pickup truck
just flew by us
like 100 miles per hour, and...
And we swerved.
Kenny, I'm gonna need a lac
tray set up with 4-0 Prolene.
Kenny: Yep, got it.
Let's get you fixed up,
and I promise we'll let you know
- everything that's going on with her.
- Okay.
All right, here we go.
T.C.: Toph, careful!
Mike: You should let us
get her down!
It's not safe for you
with all this dry lightning!
And if you guys get hit,
it'll be my ass!
All right, we heard you!
We got this.
We're here to help you, ma'am.
It's gonna be all right.
I'm Dr. Zia.
That's Dr. Callahan above us.
Just hold still, okay?
I'm gonna check you out.
Then we're gonna get
out of here.
She has a strong pulse.
Whoa!
There's a big piece of glass
at the end of her SCM. Be careful.
If that glass shifts
when we're moving her,
- it's gonna slice her trachea in half.
- Yeah, copy that.
Throw me some kerlix,
and I'll stabilize the piece.
On it.
You got it?
Here... one more.
[ Groans ]
Damn it, there's bubbles...
Torn lung.
We're gonna have to intubate
as soon as we get her down.
Let's get her on the backboard
and get the hell out of here!
Get that backboard ready!
[ Thunder crashes ]
[ Helicopter blades whirring ]
Yeah... oop, oh!
Man, I'm playing dirty now.
That's a kick to the nuts.
[ Video game sound effects ]
Are you sure you've played this
before, 'cause you are really...
Okay, okay, wait...
Oh, roundhouse!
Thank you, elbow.
Blocked.
You're going down.
I had a competition last week,
and I got second.
- You did?
- Yeah.
Did daddy film it?
No.
- Well... Did you do the sparring?
- Yeah.
Oh, now you're going down.
Watch this.
[ Distant explosions]
Congratulations,
sweetheart. That's amazing.
Pause, pause, pause, pause.
[ Explosion ]
Okay, game on.
- Aw, come on, stop.
- Yeah, there was a...
[ loud explosion ]
What was that?
[ Indistinct shouting ]
That was close.
Oh, it's nothing, sweetheart.
It's just fireworks.
We set them off all the time.
- So, show me your yellow belt.
- Here, look.
I'm so proud of you.
[ Explosion ]
[ Indistinct shouting ]
- Major, we have casualties.
- Okay.
- Let's get them out!
- I got to go.
- 24.
- 7.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Marquez, let's go.
Man:
Let's go. Move!
[ Alarm blaring ]
[ Missile whooshing ]
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Man #1: Oh, my god,
oh, my god!
Man #2: Medic!
- Aah!
- My arm!
- Medic!
- My arm!
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Shrapnel injury to the abdomen.
Come on,
get him to the O.R.!
Yes, major.
Above-the-elbow amputation.
Let's get a tourniquet on this.
Let's get him inside.
Drew! Over here.
Check for shrapnel.
I'll apply the tourniquet.
[ Inhales sharply ]
My leg... how's it look?
It's gonna be all right.
Just a little bit of blood.
Yeah, a badass guy like you,
it's just like a bee sting.
Marquez: Docs, we got local
nationals coming in,
hit by our counterfire.
You're kidding me?
Drew, you finish this up.
I'll take the L.N.
- [ Groans ]
- Easy.
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Syd: Hold up!
Drew: Let's get
that gurney over here.
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Let's go!
[ Engine revs ]
Diffuse guarding.
She needs the O.R.
That's why I'm here.
Let's get her up.
Uh, there's a hitch.
Her B.P. is up to...
Oh, now it's at 230,
and her heart rate's at 140.
History of high blood pressure?
None reported, but it keeps
going up, even on nipride.
What do you think's going on?
I don't know.
Waiting for tox screens.
Well, she'll never make it through
surgery with pressure that high.
Lab says they're short-handed
and running slow.
No tox-screen results yet.
All right,
just talked to the cops.
Witnesses say
she was driving erratic,
swerving all over the road.
- Could be meth, coke?
- Hmm.
She doesn't seem the type.
At least, her partner doesn't.
Come on, Kenny, how long
you been working in the E.R.?
Good point.
It could be stimulants
for A.D.D. or something.
You know, either one
would cause the elevated B.P.,
the heart rate, erratic driving.
If the labs are running slow,
let's talk to her wife,
see what she knows.
Yeah, Paul just
sutured up her arm.
She's getting x-rays now.
I'll bring her right down.
[ Door opens ]
[ Beeping ]
And so, Shannon, if you close
a wound like I just did,
you end up with a much smaller
scar, if there even is a scar.
Maybe you can, uh,
try it next time.
Really?
Gee. Thanks.
Are there any available lockers?
Uh, Ragosa's.
Yeah, this one right there.
He's actually interning
in Dallas
to be closer to his kids
when his wife took them.
Like, it's a whole thing.
Really great story.
You should write a book.
You have an attitude.
Look who's talking.
You know, I'm not some wide-eyed
intern you're gonna impress,
and I might listen
to you a little more
if you didn't try
to humiliate me
with a practical joke
on my first night.
Okay, okay.
They did it to me
on my first night.
And I'll bet
they've done it even more
after that, haven't they?
Yeah, yeah.
Uh, n-no.
How is that even relevant?
Well, I don't let
anyone mess with me,
and after they
saw I punched you,
no one else will
mess with me, either.
Wait, so, y-you punched me
'cause you were scared
or to send a message?
Okay, hey, t-this is a
hospital okay... n-not a prison.
[ Door opens ]
Listen, I'm... I'm a doctor, right?
You should l-listen...
To me.
Syd: Guys, 3... 2... 1.
Man #1: Let's get bed 3 prepped for O.R.
Man #2: Yes, sir.
[ Distant explosion ]
We know what happened?
She was riding in a taxi that
got caught in the crossfire.
The driver was DOA. She wouldn't
let the medics examine her.
[ Speaking Pashto ]
Dr. Jennings.
[ Speaking Pashto ]
I speak English.
My name is Sharbat.
Okay, good. Sharbat,
that's a beautiful name.
I'm here to help you.
Is there anything hurting?
My stomach and my chest.
It hurts when I breathe.
Okay, well, we'll check you out.
How old are you?
15.
Can I have my phone?
I need to call my brother.
Uh, yeah, we'll try
and track that down for you.
Please, I need
to talk to him now.
I understand, but I need
to treat you first, okay?
So, I need to get this off
so I can examine you.
But he cannot see me.
Sharbat, I'll turn around.
I promise.
I'm just here
to help Dr. Jennings.
Sharbat, you're pregnant.
Do you know how many months?
I think around 8.
We're just gonna take
a look at the baby.
Do you have a husband?
H-he was killed
by the Taliban.
That's why
I was leaving my village.
They will kill us all.
[ Missile whooshing ]
[ Explosion ]
You have to call my brother.
He's the only one
that can help me.
Can you pause it right there?
Dr. Alister,
can you take a look at this?
Does... does he...
Does... does he have to?
Please, Sharbat,
I need his help to make sure
you and the baby are safe.
- You're talking...
- Yes.
Sharbat, your baby is okay,
but you got a small tear
in your uterus
from the accident.
We're gonna get an American baby
doctor here to come and see you,
but it's gonna take some time
for them to get here.
Please, just help my baby.
We will, but in the meanwhile,
I need to take some pictures
of your chest to make sure
that you're okay.
Okay.
Kelly:
I don't understand.
If she needs surgery,
why is she still in the E.R.?
We're having trouble getting her
heart rate and pressure down.
We just saw a doctor a couple of weeks ago.
Her pressure was fine.
W-why is it so high now?
Well, we were hoping
maybe you could tell us.
Is she taking any medication
for A.D.D., narcolepsy?
No.
Any chance she was
using drugs... meth, cocaine?
No. God, no.
She's completely healthy.
Lucia won't even take
an aspirin.
She's strictly vegan.
Are you sure?
Witnesses said she
was driving erratically.
She's not on anything.
I know my wife.
We're not suggesting
that you don't,
but any information that you
have could help save her.
- Shannon, can you pull the...
- ultrasound?
Thank you.
Kelly:
What... what are you doing?
Now we need to monitor
the bleeding in her kidney.
[ Beeping ]
Paul, thoughts?
Bleeding is stable.
That's good.
Any sicknesses lately...
Uh, flu?
Uh, no, not really.
Oh, she's complained
of headaches, hot flashes,
dizziness,
but the doctor just said,
"welcome to menopause."
- Was the doctor a man?
Yeah, he is.
[ Monitor beeping erratically ]
Jordan: She's in v-fib.
Shannon, paddles.
Oh, my god.
What's happening?!
- Nurse.
- Why... what are you...
Kelly: Oh, my god, help her!
You have to do something!
- What's going on?!
- It's okay, ma'am.
Nurse: Please, we need you
to step outside.
- No.
- Okay, clear.
- Clear.
- Clear.
- Please.
[ Paddles thump ]
[ Flatline ]
Still v-fib.
All right, charge.
[ Beeping, whirring ]
- We clear?
- Clear.
- Clear.
[ Thunder crashes ]
Topher:
Okay, sounds good.
You're in on the left.
- Okay.
- [ Sighs ]
- Aw.
- You okay?
Yeah, I just tweaked
my shoulder a little bit.
Got to say,
it's good to have you
back out here with me, buddy.
Yeah, it feels good to be back.
Yeah. I get so bored
being charge doc, you know?
I spend half the night
sitting behind that desk.
Why can't I go out sometimes?
You know you can go out
whenever you want.
You're the boss.
Damn right.
Yeah.
I want to get back
to who I used to be,
instead of this house cat
I turned into.
Besides, who knows
when I can send you
and Jordan out
together again, right?
Yeah, probably best
to wait on that.
Things are still a little raw.
[ Monitor beeping ]
Crap, Toph, Toph, Toph.
The pressure's dropping,
the pressure's dropping.
She's bleeding out.
Toph, we got to pull that glass.
- Oh, is that all?
- Yeah.
Surgery in a flying earthquake.
Okay, look...
If you pull the glass,
I'll find the bleeder
and clamp it off.
All right, let's use
the nod this time.
It's hard enough to intubate.
Okay.
We'll never see that bleeder without it.
Got it?
Clamp?
Wait.
Got it.
Pull it out
nice and slow, buddy.
Yeah.
Okay, that's the plan.
Yeah.
God.
Look at that thing.
It's like an iceberg.
Lucky it didn't take
her head off.
Okay, I see the bleeder.
[ Thunder crashes ]
Aah!
Jesus! Son of...
- What?
- I got... I got whited out by lightning.
- Great, so you're blind now, too?
- No, I got this.
Just be steady.
I'm close, close.
[ Chuckles ]
The point.
Got it.
Bleeding stopped.
Okay, pressure's coming back up.
Nice job.
[ Sighs ]
Hold compressions.
- I have a pulse.
- We're in sinus.
Shannon: B.P. and heart rate
are coming down.
What do you think
caused the v-fib?
[ Beeping ]
- It was the F.A.S.T. scan.
- Right.
What do you mean?
Scott: When Dr. Alexander
ran the ultrasound probe
over the kidney, the heart rate
and the B.P. shot up.
Jordan: Like this.
[ Rapid beeping ]
Now look here.
Above the kidney,
what do you see?
A pheochromocytoma...
Tumor of the adrenal gland.
Paul, I was asking Shannon.
I know you know.
- And I knew that.
- [ Scoffs ]
What the hell
is your problem, man?
- What the hell is your problem?
- You got to be the big man.
Like, all day, I've been trying to be nice.
Is it 'cause I'm a girl?
- Then, like, you just...
- Hey, hey, hey, the patient.
It must have gotten crushed
in the accident
and released adrenaline
into her bloodstream.
Yeah, and every time we pushed
on it, it had the same effect.
So, it needs to come out.
Let the O.R. know we're coming.
Not so fast.
Operating on it
can release a fatal dose
of hormones into her system.
So, Shannon, what do we do?
Put her on Alpha and beta
blockers for the next few days
until it's safe to go
into surgery.
Exactly.
And hope she doesn't start
bleeding again.
Major! Captain!
Major, captain, new development!
Her husband is here for her.
- What? Her husband?
- Sharbat, what is going on?
- I thought he was dead.
- Where is she?!
Marquez: He's got to be
somebody important,
'cause he walked
right through security.
- What are you doing to my wife?
- You can't just walk in here.
- You got to get out.
- Yes, I can.
- No, you can't.
- Get away from her!
You're a man! You cannot look
at her! We are saving her life!
I think that supercedes those rules!
Get away from her.
- Drew!
- I'm not leaving!
- Get away!
- Drew, stand down!
I have got it from here.
Leave now.
That is an order!
Listen to her.
He should have never been here.
I'm sorry, sir.
There was an emergency.
Your wife was in an accident.
There's been
some bleeding around
the heart that I'm draining now.
There also seems to have
been an issue with the baby.
Then she needs a midwife.
I'm taking her.
[ Sighs ]
She can't go now.
She's been sedated, and she is
too sick for a midwife.
Her uterus has a small tear.
So far, the baby is okay, but we
have called in a specialist.
I make decisions for my wife,
not you.
She needs medical attention.
You are guests in our country.
She's my property,
and I'm taking her!
[ Speaking Pashto ]
This may be your
country, but right now
she is my patient.
You've got a problem,
you file a complaint.
Until then,
get out of my E.R.
Ah, you will pay for this.
[ Shouting in Pashto ]
[ Sighs ]
I thank you.
You see?
Please, don't let him take me.
[ Sobbing ]
[ Indistinct conversations ]
42-year-old female,
deep lacerations to her neck
causing
a tracheobronchial injury.
I had to clamp off
her pulmonary vein.
E.T. tube's
in the left main bronchus.
- Sats and B.P. are stable.
- Not bad for in the field.
- We got it from here.
- [ Groans ]
Hey, need me to massage
that shoulder, old man?
No, I'm good.
It's just... it's just sore.
[ Cellphone ringing ]
What is this?
10 bucks says it's Janet
complaining about your mother?
Oh, yeah?
Yeah? Okay.
Well, you owe me $10
'cause it's my mother
complaining about Janet.
Hi, mom.
Miss you.
O-okay.
Can you speak English?
'Cause I can't understand
you when you talk this fast.
[ Chuckles ]
Hey.
Hey.
Do you, uh, want to...
[ Indistinct conversations ]
So, I heard there was a bit
of a situation out there.
Yeah.
I know you're not the biggest
fan of lightning.
But, you know, you don't have
a choice, right?
Uh, s-Scott has her now.
So, how... how's the other
patient... the driver?
- She went into v-fib arrest.
- Oh.
- Pretty sure she has a bleeding pheo.
- Wow, that's not good.
So, listen, I, uh, want to...
- Let's talk outside.
- Yep.
Look, I just don't want it
to be awkward
for us working together,
for you.
I don't want it to be
awkward for you, either,
but I don't see...
I don't see how...
- Let's get him inside.
- It's not going to be.
- I mean, you'll figure it out, right?
- Yeah.
I think the best thing
we could do is just face it,
and eventually,
we'll get over it, right?
That sounds like
you're not thinking
about going back
to the day shift.
Why would I...
Why?
I... I love
the night shift.
Uh, do you want to transfer
to the day shift?
[ Chuckling ] No.
I mean, it might be
easier for you.
[ Chuckling ] Oh.
I mean, you said you
were considering it anyway.
Um, no.
No, I didn't.
You suggested it
when we broke up,
but I never said
that I was going to.
- Yes, you did.
- No, I didn't. No, I didn't.
- You... you... you said it.
- Okay...
- Woman: Hey, need the room.
- That's the thing... you don't listen.
I... well... all right, you just get
an idea in your head
- of what you want to happen...
- Okay, okay.
And then you just expect it to.
I'm not the only one... I'm not
the only one who does that.
- Meaning?
- Like... like when I asked you could I go
to Afghanistan,
and you said, "sure."
And then I went and came back,
you were pissed at me.
- I never said go.
- Yes, you did.
No, I didn't.
I said that I wasn't
gonna stop you,
because you would
resent me if I did.
- That's the same thing.
- No, it's not.
[ Sighs ]
Okay, well, T.C.,
did I want you to go? No.
What pregnant woman wants
to send the father
of her child into a war zone?
Then why not just say that?
You would have gone anyway.
Mollie:
Excuse me, doctors.
Jordan, your patient's new
CBC is back.
The lab says to call them asap.
- Excuse me.
- Mm-hmm.
Give it some time, honey.
- She just needs time.
- Thank you.
[ Suction whooshing ]
Got to say, for a woman who was ejected
out of her truck onto a freeway
sign, she's doing pretty well.
She's very lucky she had
such a great surgeon.
Yeah, you were awesome.
I was talking about you, Paul.
Really nice assist here.
Like I said,
you've got the gift.
- All done with the sutures?
- Yeah.
All right, let's go take
a look at the film,
make sure there weren't
any issues
with her other lung
before we close her up.
[ Monitor beeping ]
Hey.
What's going on with you
and this new intern, Shannon?
She's very annoying,
and she thinks she knows
way more than she actually does.
So did you,
if I remember correctly.
But from her work
at the reservation clinic,
she's coming in
with way more experience
than most first-years.
But the bigger issue is
if she's gonna
rattle you like that,
what's gonna happen to you
when things go south in here?
Well, it's totally different.
How?
[ Sighs ]
I'm in control here.
I'm in control in the big stuff
like my hand.
I almost lost everything,
but I took it like a man. [ Sighs ]
- I did the rehab, and I'm here.
- That's true, you did.
Right, but the social stuff
never... Been the best at.
You know, like, uh,
I've always been
the smartest guy in the room.
I mean, not to say that I'm
the smartest guy in this room.
Okay, look, Paul. Paul, listen to me.
You're very smart.
I need you to have the same
confidence out there,
when you're dealing
with your bosses
and your ex-colleagues
and everyone else
that you have in here
with your surgeries.
A night shift at a busy
trauma center like this
is the wild west,
and we are the calm
in the eye of the storm.
You know, we make it all
okay for everyone.
You get it?
Right.
Scott, I need you.
Next up.
[ Sighs ]
Okay, Paul,
finish the repair and close.
Okay.
6-0 Prolene
on a needle driver, please.
The repeat blood test shows that
her blood count is dropping,
which means that her tumor
is probably bleeding again.
- So, can't you just fix it?
- It's not that simple.
Normally, we premedicate someone
for a couple of weeks
with adrenaline-blocking
medication before operating,
but with her bleeding again,
we have to go in.
But you should know there are
serious risks taking it out now,
but the risks are far more
serious if we don't.
Are you telling me
she could die?
We're telling you
it's complicated.
Then uncomplicate it for me.
I wish we could, but we can't.
Now, it's risky,
but this is her best chance.
We weren't even supposed
to go out tonight,
but I-i pushed her
because I wanted to.
You know, maybe if we
had just stayed home,
this wouldn't have happened...
- Okay, whoa, whoa.
- Or we wouldn't have crashed.
Kelly, this is not
your fault, okay?
Sometimes bad things happen
to good people.
It is my fault.
We've been fighting
so much lately, and in the car,
I got so mad, I asked her
for a separation.
And she was so upset...
[ Speaking Spanish ]
Okay, all right, all right, um,
why don't we get some coffee.
If we move her,
she doesn't make it...
Neither does the baby.
I'm just telling you
what our orders are.
I didn't say
that I agreed with them.
So we're just gonna kowtow
to this bastard
who calls this
little girl his property?
Back in the states, he's in jail
for statutory rape.
Yeah, and you don't think
it pisses me off?
I've got a daughter two years
younger than her.
[ Grunts ]
This country is like
stepping into the Bible.
But as much as we don't like it,
we are required by our superiors
to follow their rules.
This is what
victory looks like, drew.
Get used to it. You're not back
in your chummy E.R.
Yeah, back there, we'd figure
out a way to help her.
Sharbat, how are you feeling?
The baby?
He's fine.
He?
It's a boy?
- Yes.
- [ Sighs ]
Sharbat, I need... I need you to
talk to me about your husband.
I'm sorry I lied.
I just... I didn't want you
to contact him.
I didn't want him to find me.
He wants to take you back
to the village.
- No, no.
- We can delay it.
I don't know what else
there is we...
You don't know how cruel he is.
You don't know how cruel
his family is to me.
I was sold to him at 13
by my parents.
- I hate this country.
- He doesn't care about me.
He only wants his baby boy.
My brother is trying to help me.
He made enough money
to go to Australia.
- You have to find him.
- We are trying, but it's tricky for us
because your husband is right
about one thing.
We have to follow Afghan laws.
[ Sighs ]
Then I am dead.
- She said Annie called this in.
- Who's Annie?
She's bringing in
an O.D.
How'd she sound?
How's she doing?
- I don't know. She sounded upset.
- Who's Annie?
Kenny: T.C.'s sister-in-law
who disappeared last year,
cleaned him out, showed up
a month ago out of the blue.
- Hey.
- 29-year-old male, O.D.
Pinpoint pupils.
B.P. is 90/60.
Any idea what he's on?
Oxycontin.
Okay, Shannon you're with me.
Let's put him in curtain 2.
You okay?
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
Yeah, I'm good.
Okay, hypotension
with respiratory depression.
What do we do?
High-flow oxygen,
I.V. fluids, Narcan.
Looks like somebody
paid attention in class.
Go ahead and do it.
2-milligram dose?
Actually
in chronic narcotic users,
you should start
with a .4-milligram dose
to decrease the risk
of flash pulmonary edema.
Wow.
Did you just pay attention
in class, or did you teach it?
I've done this
a few times before.
- Right, at the clinic.
- Yeah.
Plus, I had it done to me
when I O.D.'d.
- [ Chuckles ]
- No, really.
I had a pretty bad
Vicodin habit in high school.
Oh.
Don't worry, I'm all better now.
Oh... Good.
[ Chuckles ]
[ Breathing heavily ]
Hey.
Hello, sir.
Welcome back to the world.
Oh, you son of a bitch.
- Excuse me?
- You ruined my high!
Actually, we saved your life.
You ruined my high!
Maybe you should lie back.
What...
I'll show you.
This is for you, doctor!
[ Grunting ]
Oh, god.
Cleanup on aisle 3!
For the record,
I never did anything like that.
Is that better, buddy?
Yeah.
- Ah.
- [ Sighs ]
The accident is not
why she's in surgery.
It's the adrenal tumor.
It's a... it's like
a time bomb inside of her,
and it could have happened
anytime, anywhere,
so that has nothing
to do with you.
I just got so tired
of the arguing.
All right, look, uh...
I know that you and I
don't know each other,
but do you mind if I ask...
Has the fighting just been
this past couple of months,
you know,
where she's been irritable,
she's had angry outbursts?
Yeah, that's it.
She's just been so angry at me.
Okay, well, those are all,
you know,
symptoms of adrenaline leaking
from the tumor.
Oh, my god.
I'm not saying
that it's the cause
of all your problems, but...
- It explains a lot.
- Yeah.
We've been through so much
these past few months.
Sometimes it's hard to get
past all that pain.
- You know?
- [ Chuckles ]
Yeah.
The baby?
Uh...
Yeah, I've been there.
Hell, I think I'm still there.
But, you know, you...
[ Sighs ]
You got to try, because even
if it doesn't work out,
at least you know
you did your best.
I just...
I hope that we can get back
to where we used to be.
I hope you can, too.
All I'm saying is
I don't like you working
in a halfway house with addicts.
Lots of temptation.
I just... I just don't think
it's good for you.
I know you don't,
but I told you when I agreed
to stay with you
that I needed this.
* I'm still hoping *
I need to see
wasted lives and how close
I came to being one of them.
* it's ever coming *
Okay, I'll... you know what?
I'll back off, all right?
I've... I've had enough fights
with women tonight.
Just... just you do what you want.
* just tell me something *
Jordan?
Yeah, first night back working together.
* can I stop running? *
It took about three minutes
to get into it.
* Yeah, I broke through *
well, you're both hurt.
When you get hurt, you lash out.
* Walls to get back home to yours *
it's easier than feeling pain.
Well, you could just move on.
* Now I am unglued *
[ Scoffs ] Don't be such a guy, T.C.
She lost a child.
She lost you.
You guys have been together
off and on for...
What, since you were like 25.
Give it some time.
She went to work on
a reservation for two months.
Thought she'd be fine
when she got back.
- Fine? She's not sick, T.C.
- Yeah.
Okay, so, what? You're
defending Jordan
now? She's figuring
her life out.
Look, T.C., I love you.
You're my family, but sorry,
dude, I get it.
I see her side of things.
You push the edge,
you take chances.
It's why you can save lives
when other people can't.
You have a gift, and that's
an exciting guy to meet,
to date... But not to marry?
- But not to marry.
- That's not new, okay?
She knew exactly who I was
from the start.
And then,
all of a sudden, it was,
"you can't get on a Harley."
You can't join
S.W.A.T.-Team training.
"You can't go to Afghanistan.
You can't..."
no one wants the father of their
child going to Afghanistan.
You weren't sent
over there, T.C.
- You chose to go.
- To look after my best friend.
And she probably thought
she was your best friend.
* River ever rolling *
Look...
You don't want to change,
and you
shouldn't have to change,
but don't blame her
'cause she changed.
* The light
is coming on everywhere *
It's very interesting advice
coming from the woman
who married
my crazy-ass brother.
Yeah, and I was a widow at 28.
* Oh, I'm still *
Right.
[ Elevator bell dings ]
- And this one just came in?
- Yeah.
Well, I got the rejection letter
from Loyola earlier.
Now this one from Seton hall.
That's five law-school
rejections. Game over.
Now, first of all,
it's only four, okay?
You got wait-listed
at Georgetown.
Which is a nicer way of saying
they rejected me.
Look, you applied late, okay?
You retake the LSAT.
You have time to take one of
those test-tutoring courses.
Then you'll knock it out
of the park.
Look, all those law schools
will be begging to get you.
I don't know.
Maybe it wasn't meant to be.
Unh-unh-unh.
Hey, hey.
Don't go quitting
on your dreams, now.
Now, how many times have you
told me about how tired you are
of being on this side
of those 911 calls...
That you wished you could help
those women
before it's too late.
- About a million, gazillion times.
- Yeah.
- [ Chuckles ]
- Yeah?
So it'll take a little longer
to be a lawyer than you thought.
Buck up.
You're the best.
You know that?
- Of course I know that.
- [ Chuckles ]
So, um, is Annie okay?
Yeah.
Thought she'd be more shook up,
but, uh, she's hanging in there.
What's the update
on the women we brought in
from the flipped-over
truck?
I heard it went well.
Paul is closing up now.
That's great.
[ Monitor beeping ]
- Pressure is dropping.
- Yeah, I-i know.
More lap pads.
I need more lap pads, please.
I took out the packaging
to close up.
I must have dislodged a clot
from the subclavian artery.
- Clamp.
- Heart rate climbing.
I know.
Too much blood.
I can't see.
- You need help.
- No, I've got this.
Woman:
I'm paging Dr. Callahan.
[ Beeping ]
What's going on, Paul?
Why did you page me?
I've got it.
They shouldn't have called you.
Let me in there.
I'll show you.
- I got this, T.C.
- Paul.
No, I said I got it!
I'm the surgeon!
I'm sorry. I just...
I-i have this, all right?
Vessel loops on a hemostat.
T.C., hold pressure
that side, please.
- Okay, you got it.
- Thank you.
Paul: Okay.
Hemostat.
Hold pressure.
[ Chuckles ]
Good job.
Guess you didn't need me.
That's what I told them.
Let's repair that artery.
7-0 vicryl to me
and Dr. Callahan, please.
Happy to assist, doctor.
And... Cut.
Scott:
Get that off to pathology.
- Right away, doctor.
- Look at that.
Could have gone
into bomb retrieval.
[ Chuckles ] Well, there's
always time to change careers.
[ Rapid beeping ]
B.P.'s back up.
It's 170 systolic.
What the hell?
Did you tie off all the vessels?
- Yes, yes, I did.
- Heart rate's 160.
[ Flatline ]
She's coding.
Come on.
Get this draping off.
Charge me up.
Hey!
Everything all right?
- I heard she was in trouble.
- False alarm.
Paul had it all under control.
The guy is a rock in the O.R.
You, uh, talk to any
of her people yet?
No, I left a message,
haven't heard back.
State police is tracking down
the truck registration,
see if they can locate
any of the family.
Okay, when you do, let me know.
Be nice to be able
to give some good news.
- Yeah.
- It doesn't make any sense.
I got the whole thing out.
Scott, what if you didn't get
it all out?
I did.
I got it all.
Look, there's nothing.
Nothing there.
Okay, but what if
there's a second one?
10% of all pheos
have a secondary tumor
outside of the adrenal gland.
Oh, that would explain a lot
of this, but where is it?
[ Rapid beeping ]
Scott, her blood pressure
is still rising.
[ Sighs ]
Come on, show yourself,
you bastard.
Release the retractor.
Hah, there... just distal
to the aortic bifurcation.
Clamp.
There you go.
B.P. is down to 180/100.
[ Steady beeping ]
Nice save.
Very nice. All right, let's get
that sucker out of there.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
What?
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
I un... I understand, sir.
No, sir.
Yes, sir.
I will.
Thank you, sir.
[ Sighs ]
[ Beeping ]
- Didn't sound good.
- Yeah, it's not.
Sharbat's husband is a little
more connected than we thought.
So, what does that mean?
It means we're just trying
to figure things out.
Her father-in-law is
on the provincial council.
He's threatening to close roads,
deny access to villages,
end the supply chain.
He can make life miserable
for the base.
Why are you whispering?
What is going on?
Well, we're just talking about
some medical stuff, Sharbat.
Did you tell the general
what was at stake?
Yeah, I told him.
I was the one getting
my ass reamed, okay?
And here's the big surprise...
He doesn't care.
He's big picture...
Solve the problem,
keep the place running.
The general was
very clear about that.
Are you sending me
back with him?
Okay, you'll have to keep calm
for the baby, okay?
We're gonna try
to figure this out.
Don't you promise her anything.
I'm not.
We are trying to figure it out.
[ Crying ]
I can't go, I can't go.
I can't. I'd rather die
than go back there.
[ Rapid beeping ]
Distant heart sounds.
Got jvd.
- She's in cardiac tamponade.
- [ Sighs ]
Looks like the drainage
was a temporary fix.
She needs a pericardial window.
Let's get her into the O.R.
I thought you got all of it.
- I did.
- Dr. Clemmens removed all of the tumors
from Lucia's adrenal gland,
but the cancer
has spread
through her lymph nodes.
And I'm afraid it's stage iv.
S-so,
what's the treatment?
I'm sorry, Kelly, but there
is no treatment at this point.
It's a matter of weeks,
a couple months, maybe.
Right now, we need to focus
on Lucia's comfort
and pain management.
I just learned that her anger
wasn't her fault,
and I... I was gonna get
my Lucia back.
And...
Now you're telling me
that I'm gonna lose her forever?
We'll,
we're... we're very sorry.
There was no way of knowing
until we got in there.
Our last words were a fight.
Yeah, your last words before
the accident, but now you have
a chance to tell her
what she really means to you.
Northwestern med school...
Pretty impressive.
- [ Chuckles ]
- What made you choose them?
Shannon:
I look good in purple.
So, after I graduated,
I met Jordan on the Rez.
Not a lot to do around there,
so we buddied up pretty quick.
She offered me a job...
Chicago winter sucks,
so I ditched that
internship, and here I am.
Well, we're glad you did.
Anybody that can throw
a punch like that
is gonna fit right in
on the night shift.
Oh-oh!
Somebody's in shape.
Nice balls, man.
- All right.
- That was a little hoop action.
Kind of creepy for your desktop.
- These are pictures for my brochure...
- Uh-huh.
- That I'm opening up a crossfit gym.
- Uh-huh.
I'm... I'm just trying to decide
which one I want to use!
Go with the big balls!
[ Indistinct conversations ]
What's the matter, Toph?
You okay?
Yeah, I just pulled
a muscle out in the field.
Just had a scan...
Nothing torn.
- Want me to rub it down for you?
- Just stay where you are.
Excuse me.
I'm looking for my son...
Francis Watkins.
He was brought in with a fever.
Uh...
I don't see any pediatric fevers
on the board.
- You know of any, Kenny?
- No, no.
- Are you sure it was this hospital?
- Well, yes.
My wife left me a voice-mail.
I was at work.
But it's loud machinery,
so I just got it.
Uh... She said she was bringing
our 4-year-old son in...
He had a high fever...
San Antonio memorial.
I-I know what I heard.
She was calling from the truck
while she was on the way, so...
A truck?
Does she drive a green pickup?
Yeah.
That's it... f-150. Why?
You sure your son was with her?
Yes, she was bringing him in.
That's my point.
Kenny, get the chopper
ready to go.
Call police,
fire department, ems.
Get T.C. and Jordan
on that chopper.
We need everybody
out there right now.
Wait.
What... what's going on?
S-sir, you... you might want
to sit down for this.
What are you talking about?
Your wife was in an accident,
and your son may still be
at the crash site.
Woman:
All units, route 16.
Possible 4-year-old child
in the elements.
Doctors and ems en route.
[ Helicopter blades whirring ]
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Man: Let's go!
He's already been
out here almost two hours!
T.C.: I can't believe
I missed the kid.
Everybody did.
You were here for the mother.
It's not your job
to search the field
looking for other cases.
All right, everybody spread out!
Kenny:
Hey, check over there!
- I already checked.
- Well, check again!
Copy that.
Frankie!
- Frankie!
- Frankie!
- Frankie!
Hey, get the chopper
to shine its light over there.
I.V. is in, major.
We'll get her under in no time.
It's gonna be okay, Sharbat.
We're gonna take care
of you and your baby.
- Please find my brother.
- Got it?
Man: Let's get
the monitor hooked up.
[ Indistinct conversations ]
Just got some intel
on her brother.
Looks like he's
in the poppy trade.
Well, that's probably
the only way
they could afford
to pay the smugglers.
- It's not like there's any jobs here.
- I hope so.
To be perfectly honest, though,
the only thing I care
about right now is her.
Marquez: Whoa, docs.
General Rozenfeld wants
to talk to you now.
Did he say about what?
Yeah, he's always sharing
his inner thoughts with me.
Hit line 2 before it blows up.
[ Sighs ]
[ Beep ]
- General?
- What the hell are you doing?
Rozenfeld: I told you
to turn that girl over.
Now I hear she's headed
to your O.R.
Did you understand that was
a direct order to release her?
You are to stop immediately.
Drew: Sir,
this is captain Alister.
She's actually not
headed to surgery.
She's already in surgery
with major Jennings.
Why the hell would you do that?
I'm gonna stomp
your ass so hard...
Sir, her heart
was barely beating.
She would have died.
I felt it was a worse situation
to have an Afghan national
die on our base,
so I started on her.
Then major Jennings
had to step in and help.
If she dies,
I'm gonna fry both your asses.
You fix her up
and get her off this base asap.
Do you understand me?!
Yes, sir.
- Major...
- Don't say a word.
You just lied to a general.
Just get your ass
in there and help.
Hey, don't look at me.
- Frankie!
- Cover over here!
Frankie!
Man:
I got nothing over here!
Hey, Jordan, see that?
[ Lightning crashes ]
Jordan:
Is that a car seat?
[ Muttering ]
Hey, they find him yet?
- No.
- Aw, they will.
No thanks to me.
[ Indistinct conversations ]
Hey, y-you couldn't go, man.
You hurt your shoulder.
I-it... I-i know
you're trying to help make
me feel better, Kenny,
but it's not helping.
Woman:
Lab tech to satellite pharmacy.
Lab tech to satellite pharmacy.
Hi.
Okay, look,
I-i read your background.
Did a lot of work
on the Rez clinic.
Done a lot of things
that interns
don't normally do
until their second year.
I get it.
Doesn't mean
you know everything.
I never said I know everything.
Is that your idea
of apologizing,
because it's not very good.
Apology?
Why would I apologize?
No, no, I'm... I'm just saying
that I'm here to help.
All right, so if you have
any questions, just ask.
And, uh, if I'm too busy
on a shift or something,
we can meet before
or after work, um, to...
Are you hitting on me?
What?
No.
No, no, I was just...
Dude, don't hit on women
in the workplace.
- Whoa.
- That is so unprofessional.
Oh, oh, uh, uh, uh,
that's not...
That's not even
where I was going with it.
It was just like... I was trying
to, like be... be like a...
- I'm messing with you.
- Huh?
I had to get even with you
for pranking me.
- So had you.
- For a second.
Found the boy.
Hey, everybody be quiet!
Say again.
Man: We found him.
We found the boy.
[ Cheers and applause ]
T.C.:
All right, take him down!
He's good right there!
Pulse is thready.
He feels hypothermic.
He's not responding.
Okay, we got to get him
to the chopper.
- Let's go.
- 1, 2, 3.
- Go!
- Go!
Opening up the pericardium now.
- Ready with suction.
- Okay, retract.
The general wants
an update, major.
Could go either way.
- Sir, you can't come in.
- Give me my wife!
- Get the hell out of here!
- You can't do that!
She is open on our table.
You're not sterile.
You need to get
the hell out of here.
- Not this time.
- Hey, Tommy, call the M.P.S.
Listen, I'm sick of your...
[ Gun cocks ]
Give her to me.
[ Man singing indistinctly ]
Okay, all right.
Why don't you just drop it?
[ Grunting ]
Drew!
[ Gunshot ]
Drew!
[ Singing continues ]
[ Mid-tempo
