The Night Shift (2014–2017): Season 3, Episode 12 - Emergent - full transcript

So far, the fire
has destroyed nine homes...

This fire keeps spreading.

Okay.

Yeah, word from the front is
it's only getting worse.

We can expect more burn victims

and more smoke-inhalation
patients.

A lot more. Everybody,
get your game faces on!

Hard to put on your game face

when your owner's
throwing the game.

Do you have an ETA
on our pink slips?

Whoa, whoa.
Nothing's official.



Hobart hasn't bought anything
yet, right?

That's right.
They haven't.

And I've reached out
to other buyers

to try and convince them
to top Hobart's bid

and keep us together.

So until I hear back, let's...
Let's keep the faith, Mollie.

My landlord doesn't take faith

at the first of the month,
Topher.

Mollie!
Heat exhaustion.

Just needs an I.V.,
couple hours off his feet.

He ain't the only one.

Mollie.

Topher, don't take it
personally, okay?

Mollie's got three offers
from other E.R.s.



All of the nurses have options.

I hear some of the doctors, too.
How many do you have now?

Three.
Including Baltimore.

Gwen wants me to move back,
but I'm not biting.

Okay?
Neither is anyone else here.

We all know we're never gonna find
a work family like this again.

Hey, she needs a head C.T.
and stitches.

Chopper's refueling, then going
back for more patients,

but it looks like space
is at a premium here.

Well, we'll find more space.
Everybody, stop worrying.

The E.R. is not closing.

There's a lot of interest in
this place, I'm telling you.

We're gonna stay together.
It's gonna be fine.

Yeah, no,
I-I-I agree.

It's all right. It's all...
It's all gonna be fine.

Yeah, for you and Scott.

You're surgeons.
Hobart won't drop you.

The rest of us are S.O.L.

30-year-old female

scouting the fire on an ATV
when it rolled.

She wound up in the flames.

Second- and third-degree burns
to her abdominal wall.

Possible internal injuries.
ATV landed right on top of her.

Okay. Trauma 1.

And you've got more coming in.

What happened?

Knucklehead was trying to save
his furry friends

when the fire broke out.

Trap bit him.

Maybe a little bit of
situational awareness

might save you some pain
next time, you damn hippie.

Okay. Incoming.
Trauma 2.

My name is Derrick,
and it's nothing like the pain

those animals feel, you fascist!

Hey, Mac!

Last time I saw you, you were
laying down fire in Afghanistan.

Last time I saw you,
you were running from it.

Hey, Drew.
This is Mac Riley.

He helped T.C. and I out
last year in Afghanistan.

- Oh.
- Drew Alister, Army doc.

Iraq, Afghanistan.

Still racking up trips...
Can't get enough.

Yeah, you're gonna miss it
when you're out.

- Drew!
- Oh! Hey, uh, duty calls.

- Good to meet you, man.
- Yeah, nice to meet you.

- Thank you.
- Oh, hey, Doc.

- Yeah.
- Look, before I head back out,

I got a favor to ask you.

Thinking about getting back
into the contracting field,

and, uh, I just need
a doc's John Hancock

on my physical form.

Yeah, sure.
Come on back.

I'll check you out.

Yeah, I got to get back
to my team, Doc.

W-Why don't you just
pencil-whip that?

Well, I ca...
I can't just sign it.

Quick physical,
you're on your way.

10 minutes tops.
Hey, Natalie?

Uh, can we set him up,
uh, Trauma 3?

- Sure thing.
- Hey, so, where's T.C.?

He's back overseas.

You can take the boy
out of the fight,

not the fight out of the boy.

Yeah, tell me about it.

We've been here a month and the Turks
still won't let us cross the border.

You change those dressings
twice a day.

Thank you.

Your help is much appreciated.

But many more of my people
are in need.

Well, there are only two
of us, Hamdi,

so we're doing the best
with what we have.

Do you want this?

Get back!

Looks like we're gonna need
more supplies.

Excuse me, sir!
Sir!

We have walked many miles...
No food, no water!

Sir, please.
Many of us are hurt.

Please help.
What are you doing?

We don't know where
these people came from.

We don't know who they are.

We didn't know Hamdi until
we knew him, either, okay?

Okay, but we are at capacity,

and we are running out of drugs.

Sometimes you just got
to wing it, okay?

We'll... We'll make a plan
later. We'll just figure it out.

Open the gate.
No, no, no!

What are you doing?!
What are you doing?!

Don't open the gate!
Don't open the gate!

Hey! Hey! Calm down!

Close the gate!

Calm down! It's okay!
Hey! Hey! Hey!

There's water in the tent.

I just feel like you've been
really distant this week.

No, I have not been distant.

I'm just... There's so much
going on here

with the possible sale
of this place.

I mean, do I go back to Dallas
if it happens?

Do I stay?
Dallas?

- Well...
- And here do I fit in there?

Well, I don't know.
It's...

There's my answer.

Look, there's so much going on
here tonight.

Can we talk about it later?

Dr. Franklin, 3721.
Sure.

Dr. Franklin, 3721.
Yo, Toph. Hey.

Hey, we got a problem.

Uh, I just finished inventory
on Pyxis,

and drugs came up missing.
Uh, a dozen Norco.

Now, the day shift's count
was all good, so this is on us.

- You sure?
- I triple checked.

I know how bad this looks
with you

trying to find another buyer
for the hospital.

I mean, this could scare them
all away.

Don't remind me.
Okay. Check the logs.

Uh, see who accessed the Pyxis.

This can get sticky, so until
we know more, keep it quiet.

Okay.

Everything... hurts.

I'm not surprised.

You've got a bad stomach burn
and bruises everywhere.

Just try to relax.
I'm Dr. Rivera, by the way.

Valeska.

Two months on the job
and I'm already in the E.R.

Mom's gonna love this.

She didn't want you to be
a firefighter?

Oh, she wanted me to remain
what I was...

A drone in a cubicle.

In before sunrise,
out after sunset.

I was more vampire than human.
I hated it.

But my mom, she loved it.

Probably seemed safer to her.

Mm, safety had nothing
to do with it.

She... It was just
what was expected.

It was all that was expected.

You know, don't rock the boat.

Don't color outside the lines.

Maybe she was right.

Okay, level with me, Doc.

Will... Will I be able to return
to the department?

We're gonna do everything we can
to make that happen.

Uh,
it t-took me eight years

to work up the courage
to leave that job.

If I end up back
where I started,

it'll be like everything I did
in between was all...

for naught.

Like... Like it Nev...
Never happened.

Like I never left.

I know that feeling.

Valeska, are you feeling
short of breath?

Mm.

Get me a blood gas kit,

and please see if Dr. Cummings
is out of surgery.

I checked the log.
Mollie, Jocelyn, and Heather

were the only ones to access
the Pyxis tonight.

But Annie shadowed all of them.

Annie. I forgot
she's been shadowing.

This night just keeps
getting better.

Tell me about it.

Just got a call
from my landlord.

The bathroom in my gym leaked
into the business below.

$2,500 in water damage
and climbing.

I'm sorry to hear that.

I don't know how you do this job
and run a business.

Yeah, me neither.
Probably not the best of ideas.

But, look, as far as suspects
are concerned,

I think Annie's a pretty good
place to start.

Come on, man.

You really think that three
of our best nurses

just up and suddenly decided
to start stealing drugs?

- No, that's not... that's not...
- Hey, what...

What are you talking about?
Who's stealing drugs?

Let... Let's talk
about this...

Uh, Norco is missing
from the Pyxis.

Several nurses used it tonight.

We're just trying
to narrow down who.

And you think Annie did it.

- Nobody said that.
- No, but you're thinking it.

Are you thinking it?

I'm thinking that you need
to be really careful

about rushing to judgment
on something like that.

That's what I'm thinking.

And, no, she's come way too far
to do something like that.

I will go ask her
right now myself.

- She won't lie to me.
- Okay, wait. Hold... Hold on.

May... Maybe take a beat,
Scott.

Just... Just let us
figure this out.

Yeah, seems like you already
have, Topher.

Sc...

What did I say about this night
getting worse?

All right.
Talk with the other nurses.

Do not get them riled up.

This cannot blow up

right when I'm trying to hold
this together!

I got you.

103.2.

We got to get
your temperature down.

Down?
Feels like I'm freezing.

I haven't felt warm since we
left our village three days ago.

- Syrian forces kick you out?
- The Caliphate.

They attacked last month.

We tried to hold out for as long
as possible, but couldn't.

We walked 30 miles here,
to the border,

took turns carrying my
grandmother for the last three.

That's big of you, stepping up
to take care of her like that.

- Squeeze.
- She has done much more for me.

Sahin, you said it hurts.
Can you tell me where?

My muscles, my bones.
All over.

Looks like we're not as popular
as we used to be.

It's not you.
It's us.

We're Kurds.
They're Arabs.

Meaning?

One group has been robbed
of their rights,

stripped of their land,
had their people killed.

And the other group is Arabs.

I'm sure the Arabs
would disagree.

We both know
it's not that simple.

Dr. Callahan, may I speak
with you privately, please?

Every single one
of these new refugees,

they're nauseous, they're
suffering from aches and pains,

they're spiking a fever...
Some of them are delirious.

And make no mistake...
This is not the flu.

Okay, Syd,
you need to calm down.

Don't tell me to calm down.

These people probably
have malaria,

and they are now inside
our camp, infecting everybody.

That's what winging it got us.

We already had a humanitarian
crisis on our hands.

Now you just made it worse.

Okay, how exactly
did this happen?

Well, as the story goes,
I was, you know, in the woods

disarming traps, you know,
when the fire came.

I had just released
this furry little coyote.

So cute. He looked just like
Wile E. Coyote.

So I just freed him.
He goes off.

And then the next thing I know,

like, flames are just
all around me.

Mm-hmm. Well, I totally
panicked like an idiot.

And then I fell.

The trap snapped back on me,

and then, y-you know,
here we are.

Okay.

Man.

Well, you just earned yourself
a tetanus shot

and probably some nerve damage.

Are you married?
Uh, no.

So, we're gonna get
a surgical consult on this.

And in the meantime,

I'm gonna get this thing
off your arm, okay?

Oh, okay.
Sound good?

Hey, Vince,
can you help me out here?

Push down on both sides.
Okay, great.

Let's do this on three, okay?

All right.

One...
Yeah.

Two...

You said three,
Dr. Alexander!

Yeah.
Ohh!

Oh, man, that's not cool!

Deep breaths.

Follow my finger.
Here's...

Okay, just...
Is all this necessary?

We'll see. We'll see.
Extend your arms, palms up.

Close your eyes.

Okay.
Will you sign the paper now?

Mac, your left arm has what
we call pronator drift.

It could be a symptom
of a brain abnormality.

Or it could be an old
high-school football injury?

Oh, or the bullet
I took for you.

Okay, well, let's run
a C.T. scan to be safe.

Come on.
After everything I did for you

last year in Afghanistan,
just sign the damn paper.

Why is it so important
to go back?

You've done your part.
You're home now.

You've got Team Rubicon.

It's just not the same.

Look, overseas, I kicked doors,

flew in helicopters,
rolled up bad guys.

Over there, I had a purpose.

Back here, I'm just...

Well, I'm on an island.

I got to get off.

Hey, listen, I get it.
I get it, brother.

But this is about due diligence.

I'll tell you what.
I'm gonna jump the line.

I'll get you
a C.T. scan ASAP.

Just sit tight.

I can't even believe
you seen that.

It was way too scary.

I can't wait for tomorrow.

I'm finally gonna be
your daughter.

You already are in my eyes.

Know that.

I can't wait for the party,
either.

I pretty much invited everyone
from the hospital.

What did you do?

Those are the crosses
right there.

Where? What do you mean
you invited everyone?

Yeah,
everybody from the E.R.,

ICU, surgical department.

Oh, you did, did you?

I'll get Rick
to pick up more pizzas.

- Papa Drew.
- Yo... Okay.

All right.
I got to go, kiddo.

- Okay.
- Mwah!

- Hey, Mollie.
- Yes?

Can you get this, uh, little
inmate back to her cell?

- She escaped again.
- Of course I will.

- All right.
- Come on, escapee.

Bye.

We were fine
before the Kurds arrived.

Now we are weak and ill.

Two of my people are dead.

And we lost many more.

You know, let's focus on
saving those we still can.

You know what?
We stayed, and we fought.

Perhaps if your people
did the same thing

instead of running
like cowards...

Okay, okay. Hey.
That's enough.

Why don't you go outside,
feed your people?

Let us do our job.

All right?
You do the same.

Feed your people.

I don't know what's gonna kill
these people first...

This outbreak
or their own hatred.

You can't judge until you've
walked a mile in their shoes.

Like you have?

I'm not judging, I'm just trying
to help these people.

And they're more interested
in killing one another

than they are in healing.

So you're judging.

Now I'm starting to understand
why Drew hit you.

You got something you want
to say to me?

Yeah. You're so lucky.
If I could spare the help,

you'd be on the first thing
smoking back to the States.

- But you can't.
- Just finish the test.

Already did.
Good news... not malaria.

Bad news... we still don't know
what's killing these people.

And we better figure it out
before the body count rises.

All right.
What do we got?

Sats are holding,
but B.P. is down.

Yeah, certainly took a beating.

Multiple contusions
to her head and chest.

I'm more worried
about her abdomen.

Full thickness burns to
the entire abdominal wall.

She needs
surgical decompression.

Whoa. Slow down.

Let's finish your evaluation

before we reach for the knife,
all right?

I had a patient like this
in med school.

Swelling from the burn

strangled his intestinal organs
and he died.

Quickly.

All right, well, this is not
med school, Shannon.

You don't want to make
an impulsive decision

with this patient based on
a bad outcome with another.

We need to be thorough here,
okay?

I am not being impulsive.
I'm using my judgment.

And I asked for a consult,
not a lecture.

And you got one.

I think you're confusing
activity with action.

And sometimes the best course
of action is none.

I won't risk cutting someone
open who may not need it.

Now, I'm heading to surgery
on someone who does.

You do a full trauma work-up
and then get back to me.

We don't want to miss anything,
all right?

- Hey.
- Hey.

- Got a sec?
- Uh, yeah.

For you, of course.

Hey, you ready
for the party tomorrow?

Drew...

the court date for Brianna
isn't gonna happen tomorrow.

- What? Why?
- Honestly, no idea.

- I'm trying to find out now.
- Is it the arrest?

The... The bar fight with T.C.?
No.

That was all cleared up.
I'm still digging.

I mean, it could just be

that the judge's schedule
is too full.

Let's just see
what it is first, okay?

And let's not tell Brianna
until we know more.

Find out as soon
as you can, okay?

Yeah. Will do.

- Hey.
- Yeah?

Hey, Doc.
Hey, Topher said

he's gonna get me
out of here quick,

but he keeps shining me on.

Look, I-I just need
a doc's signature

on this stupid physical form.

Well, if he hasn't signed it,
it's probably for good reason.

- What'd he have you do?
- Some dumb pronator test.

I can tell you why
I messed it up.

Where'd you get that?

Ask your buddy Topher.

Look, can you help me
push this through?

All right,
he's been out forever.

He doesn't get guys like us.
You're still in. You do.

Help me get this
damn thing signed.

He owes me.

I'll talk to him.

All right.
Thanks.

Do you think I took them?

No.
Of course I don't.

And I told them
that you wouldn't.

But those drugs are missing,

and you were shadowing
those nurses.

So everybody else thinks I did.

Look, I'm gonna ask you
this once,

as the Chief of Surgery,
for them,

just to put the whole thing
to bed.

Did you take those drugs, Annie?

No!
Good.

I swear.
I believe you.

I did not.
I know.

And I'm sorry I even had to ask.

- Okay? Don't worry.
- Hey.

Jordan needs you in Trauma 2.

Her patient just took a turn
for the worse.

Okay. Hang in there.
I'll see you in a bit.

I didn't take them.

Okay.

Let's get him
on high-flow oxygen.

Hey.
What's going on?

I thought this guy just had
a soft-tissue injury.

It was, but after I removed
his trap,

his sats plummeted
and he lost consciousness.

Any ideas?

Maybe there was something
on the trap?

Could be poison,
animal feces, urine?

Anyway, he's having trouble
breathing, so...

Maybe he actually got bit.

No, I checked.
No bites.

Hey, give me a hand.

Thank you.

Yeah, diminished breath sounds.

- Okay, where's the trap?
- It's right there on the table.

Hey, there's pieces
of this thing broken off.

If one of these broke off
inside him,

it would go straight
to the lung.

All right.
I'll call the O.R.

and let them know we're on our way.
Okay.

Damn it.

There's no time for that now.
He's crashing.

We got to open him up
right here.

Let's get him down.

Get me a thoracotomy tray.

Let's prep to open.

- He's been down for two minutes.
- I know.

- I'm aware of that, Jordan.
- He doesn't have much...

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I got it. I got it.

Gotcha.
Wow.

You little bastard.

That thing is huge.

7-0 chromic.

Removing cross clamps.

His heart's beating again.
Good job.

Send a blood gas.
We're gonna get closed up here.

Can I talk to you
about something?

Just between us?
Yeah.

You know about
the missing Norco?

I do.

Everybody thinks
that Annie took it.

But I know that she didn't
take it,

and it's really pissing me off
that nobody believes her.

Scott, come on.

You can't blame people
for being suspicious.

- She's an addict.
- Yeah, I know she's an addict.

I'm an addict, too,
but you trust me, don't you?

Yeah, I trust you.
Okay.

But you are not her.

She didn't do it.

I'm telling you
she didn't do it.

I asked her point-blank.

And I know we've had
our issues lately,

but she wouldn't lie to me.

So I could really use
your support on this,

is what I'm asking for.

Okay.

Thank you. That means a lot.
I appreciate it.

Yes.

- Hey. Topher.
- Hey.

So, I spoke with Annie
about those missing drugs,

and she says she didn't do it.

And you should know that Jordan
is standing behind her, as well.

- Jordan is?
- Yes.

She is, because she trusts me.

Which is a courtesy
that I really wish

you were extending to me,
as well.

Listen, Scott,
I want to believe that.

I really do.
But somebody stole those drugs.

Okay, look.
I told you I would talk to her.

I did. She said she didn't do
it, so that's it.

Period.
End of story.

So stop the witch hunt
and search everybody.

That could have gone better.

Yeah.

Hey, uh, not to bug you,

but any news on the new bidder?

No, I'm still waiting to hear.

Keep your fingers crossed.

Everything's crossed.
I'll catch you later.

Yo, Paul, got a minute?

Uh, yeah, sure.
What's up?

- Uh, I wanted to ask you...
- Toph.

What's with this Mac thing?
I saw his pronator issue.

That drift could be
from nerve damage

caused by that bullet wound
in his arm.

He pay you to come bug me?

We're a bit backed up,

and I'm waiting on the results.

I just think he really wants
to get back in the fight,

and we shouldn't be the ones
to stop him.

It's about more than medicine.

See, I think he wants back
because he's afraid.

Home is foreign and awkward.

War is familiar and comforting.

He's delaying the inevitable.

He needs to face it if he ever
wants to resume a normal life.

It's easier for you.
You're a doctor. You got family.

That helped your transition.
Mac's got none of that.

He was a door-kicker.

Those skills don't transfer
over to civilian life.

Toph, you got to change
your identity.

So you got to consider
what happens

to a man when he loses his.

We have to keep testing

till we find out
what's killing everyone.

Test them!

They are the ones who brought
disease into this camp.

Maybe you should go back!

Go back where, huh?

Stop! Stop!

Sahin, keep your head down.
Keep your head down.

Hey! Hey!

Hey! Listen to me!
Listen to me.

If you don't stop fighting
and let us do our jobs,

more of you are gonna die,
all right?

This infection doesn't care

where you're from
or who you are.

You, you, you, me...
It doesn't matter.

So you can either
swallow your pride

and let us figure it out,
or you can keep fighting,

and none of us
will leave this camp alive.

Now, I don't want to die.
Do you want to die?

- No.
- No.

So let us do our job.

All right?

Let's get you inside.

Thank you.

Okay, let's get you checked out.

Drew.
Hey, I, uh...

I found out what the holdup is.

What?

Brianna's birth father has
come back into the picture.

He says he wants full custody.

No. What... He can't...
He can't do that.

He gave up his parental rights.

Yeah.
Not technically, okay?

He claims that the birth mother
never told him about Brianna,

that he just found out about her
six months ago,

and he has been looking for her
ever since.

She's 14 years old.

I mean, he can't...
He can't stake a claim on her

after all these years, can he?
He can't...

It's up to the court, Drew.

But he can keep you
from getting her now.

And he's on his way here.
I'm so sorry.

I really appreciate this, man.

I-I wouldn't ask for this loan
if it wasn't important, man.

I-I just can't lose
my business.

Yeah, it's fine.

It's just sitting
in my savings account anyway.

Not like I'm making anything
off the interest.

I'll pay you back
as soon as I can. I swear.

Yeah, don't... don't even
worry about it.

I'll write you a check
after work, all right?

Um, but, hey, I got to...
I got to go. All right?

Hey, how were the test results
for your patient?

Exactly what I expected.

She's still awake,
but her respiratory rate is up.

She's probably acidotic
from intestinal ischemia.

Hey, hey, slow down, all right?

You're trying to make
your original diagnosis fit.

There could be multiple causes
for rapid breathing, okay?

This woman doesn't have time
for possible or probable, Paul.

I-I just drew an ABG
to see for sure!

Why are you so upset?

You asked for my help,

and I made a medical call
based on my experience.

And you completely ignored mine.

I just know more.

Look... Look,
I-I understand,

with the pending hospital sale,
that you're scared, okay?

Do you understand that, Paul?

Do you understand
living in a trailer

until they take you away because
you haven't eaten for days?

Watching all your friends
drop out or die?

People laughing at you

because you dare to dream
of something more?!

Shannon,
I-I want to understand.

I do. I-I know that you had
a terrible upbringing...

Upbringing? See?!

You can't understand.
Listen to how you speak!

We are two very different people
from two very different worlds.

And if this hospital shuts down,
I go back to mine.

It's...
It's not gonna close, okay?

Stop saying that!
You don't know that!

Just because everything
works out for you

doesn't mean it will for me.

That's not what I mean, okay?

There... There... There are
things happening...

You know what?

My gut told me I never
should have started

anything with you,
and it was right.

What does that mean?

It means we're through.

So let's just focus on Valeska

and get through the rest
of the shift, okay?

That's nine dead.

Two more in the last hour.

How's Sahin?

I can't get her fever down.

B.P. is holding, but her
heart rate is dropping.

That's strange. It should be
elevated with a fever.

Take a look at this rash.

You thinking what I'm thinking?

Typhus.

Yep.
Has to be.

Yeah. Right.

Typhus is bacterial.

Spread by mites, fleas,
and ticks,

with an incubation period
of 10 days.

The Kurds just arrived today,

so they couldn't have infected
the camp.

They must have contracted it
elsewhere.

This entire region
could be infected.

Shit.

Typhus?

Typhus, it is...
It is worse than malaria?

Yes.

We were prepared for malaria.

We don't have enough meds
for a typhus outbreak.

Hey, man.

Welcome back.

So, you got a piece of that trap
stuck in your lung.

We got it out just in time.

You're gonna be fine.

When can I get back out there?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Easy.
Easy, easy, easy.

You just had
open-chest surgery.

You're gonna have to relax
for a while.

The animals will have to wait
a few weeks.

Oh, but they can't, though.

If I'm not out there
doing my part, who will?

You guys are doctors, right?

Mm-hmm.

Like, what if someone
told you to relax,

saving lives could wait?

- Huh?
- Look.

- I admire your passion.
- Yeah.

- But you...
- No, you think I'm a joke.

- No.
- No.

- Yeah, a little bit.
- No, I don't.

Derrick, you believe
in something, all right,

and you fight for it.

I admire that in a person.

That's very sweet of you.

Look, Derrick, if you go out
there right now, you'd die.

And like you just said,

if you're not out there
doing your work, who's gonna?

Best thing you can do right now
is rest and heal up.

Okay?

Man.

Okay.
Is everybody accounted for?

Hey, I'm out of here, all right?

- Hold on.
- The flames jumped the fire break.

I'm not gonna sit here
while you're jerking me around

if you're not gonna sign
this damn form.

Okay, hold on. I'm just waiting
to get your C.T. scan results.

Nah, I don't have time for that,
all right?

My team's shorthanded.
They need me.

- I'll see you, Doc.
- Wait. Fine.

I'll check your scan and I'll...
I'll e-mail you the signed form.

You got to promise to come
right back if it's abnormal.

Yeah, deal.
H-Hey, anybody getting off soon?

They're setting up a triage area

outside the fire to deal
with patients.

We could use a doc or two.

I can't leave tonight,

not until I hand the shift off
to the Day Chief.

- I can go.
- You... You sure?

Yeah, I could use
a change of pace.

I'm off call in 20 minutes,
so I can go, too.

Can always use another surgeon
out there.

Sounds good to me.
Topher?

- Okay, just be careful.
- All right. Grab your gear.

- Let's go.
- All right.

Scott.

Do you have to go?

Like, I feel like you're

the only person here
who believes me.

Well, yeah, I do.
I have to go.

- They need me out there.
- With Jordan?

Annie, we're working triage
at a fire,

not doing dinner and a movie.

I'll see you when I get back.

He's a stranger.
I-I don't want to meet him.

I know.
But you have to.

But I'm not gonna live
with him, right?

I'm gonna be, uh,
with you and Rick,

because... because that's what
you guys said.

You guys said that
you would adopt me,

and... and I'm not gonna
have to live with him.

Don't I have any say in this?

Yes, you have a say in this.

You can tell the judge
exactly what you want.

But, in the end, it's...
It's just not up to you.

What?

Wh...

I'm so stupid.

I actually... I actually
believed you guys.

Hey.

Why did you lie to me?

Any pressure in your abdomen?

Maybe.

It just... feels tight.

Like, har...
Harder to breathe.

Paged me?

Look, her ABG just came back.

Her pH is way down.

She's got acid in her blood.

I told you.

I can't breathe.

She's crashing.

All right.
She needs surgery.

Swelling will suffocate
her organs.

- I'll page Scott.
- Scott's in the field,

and the day-shift doctor's
on his way.

I'll do it.
Let's go.

27 doses of Cipro.

Gonna need 10 times that amount
to treat the typhus in camp.

Okay, well, there's more coming
with the resupply.

But until then, we have to
decide who gets the medication.

If you and I get sick,
we can't treat anybody,

so we got to be top priority.

There's four aside for us.

Okay, and there's two for Hamdi,
Besam, and Sahin.

I don't think Sahin
should get any.

She's in bad shape, T.C.

I know.
But I think, at this point,

the medication
won't do her any good.

And even if she does get better,

she's not likely to make it
all the way to Germany.

What, so basically we're saying
that all the sacrifices

she made to come this far
don't matter.

You're pulling a family apart.

No.

A family divided is better
than no family at all.

You didn't even want to let them

into the camp
in the first place.

Well, they're here now.

We can't turn our back on them.

Look, when resupply comes
at the end of the day,

Sahin can get the meds.

If she's still here to get them.

Hopefully she will be.

It's gonna get worse
before it gets better.

Can you call Topher and have him
send in some more supplies?

Fire took out
the cellphone tower.

We got no reception.
I'll find you a walkie.

Hey, come over here!

- It's not me, man. It's Rene.
- Rene?

Rocks came loose.
She fell off a ledge.

I think she broke her leg.
She can't move.

- I tried to help her.
- Okay, where is she?

- I tried to help her, man.
- Where is she?

She's like a mile off...
Off the trail that way.

I can show you.

No, no, no, no.
You're not going anywhere.

We need oxygen.

- Let's go. Oxygen!
- Okay.

I can carry her,
but if her leg is broken...

- Okay, I'm coming.
- Come on. Move.

Hey.
Then I'm coming, too.

Let's go.
Double time.

Sun's up in an hour, and the
winds will pick up with it.

Okay.
This is the last of it.

Rest of the intestine
looks viable.

All right.
Clamp, please.

Her O2 levels are dropping.

That doesn't make any sense.

- Is she still bleeding?
- Uh, no.

No. No.

No breath sounds
on the right side.

It's pneumothorax.
She has a punctured lung.

Hand me an 18-gauge angiocath
to needle her chest.

You didn't see this
on the x-ray?

No, I...

If you put even a small pneumo
on a vent,

it can kill the patient.

O2 levels are back up.

I'm sorry.
I didn't see that.

That's why we trust the people
we consult with.

Everybody makes mistakes.

Probably not the only one
you made tonight, Doctor.

I can close her by myself.
You can go now.

Damn it.

Hey, Moss.
Hey, not a good time.

Hey, hey, take it easy.

I'm talking about
work-wise here. Okay?

No, I'm... I'm not trying
to disrespect you.

Listen... Listen.

Listen, I got...
I got your 5 grand.

Yeah.
Yeah, tomorrow.

Hey. Hey.
Drink. You need the fluids.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm just a...
little light-headed.

I might need some air.

What... What's this?

It's nothing.
It's nothing.

You gave her your pills,
didn't you?

- She needed the medicine, T.C.
- Are you kidding me?

You give me a lecture
about being reckless,

and you pull this crap?

I made a decision, okay?

Yeah, the wrong one.

How could you be so selfish?

I couldn't sit around and watch

that man lose his grandmother.

Okay, you may be all right
with tearing a family apart,

but I'm not.

And what happens
when you get too sick

to help these other people?

I will be able to hold out
until the resupply comes.

Sahin wouldn't have
been able to.

Let me do my job,
and you do yours.

Haven't been able
to get ahold of...

What are you doing?

- What do you think?
- You can't do this.

Yes, I can.

No, no. I-I mean
you can't do this.

Yes, I can.

Look, people aren't jumping ship

so we can be together, man,
because we're a family.

Searching and going through
people's lockers,

man, that ain't family.

But the fact is somebody
committed a felony.

Somebody took these pills.
We're responsible.

Try getting a new job
with that on your record!

I thought you said there's
still another chance.

Still another buyer
out there, right?

Well, yeah.

There is.
I'm...

Toph, come on.

We have to believe in the family
we created or...

what's the point, man?

Yeah, you're right.

We'll use security.

If they deny us,
we know something is up.

All right.

- So, you and T.C. a thing?
- What?

The jacket.
It says "Callahan."

That's T.C., right?

Figured you two were dating
or something.

Nah, I just forgot
my field jacket today,

so I borrowed one
from his locker.

It's getting pretty hairy
up here, Mac.

- If we don't find her soon...
- No, no, no.

We're not leaving without her.

You okay?
Yeah.

Fine.

Topher, here.

I know everybody thinks it's me,
so I took a drug test.

Jocelyn witnessed it.

- I did.
- Okay, look, Annie...

- And I will pass it.
- You know what?

Let's deal with this tomorrow.

Right now, I think the best
thing is for you to go home.

Fine.

I'll go.

But you listen to me.

Scott and T.C.
won't be happy.

And there's gonna be
hell to pay.

Annie.

Hey.
This the call?

Our last chance and savior?

This is it, brother.

Hello?

Yeah.

No, but, you... you said
the numbers look good.

What, so that...
That's it?

Can't you talk to the board?

I don't know.
Take another look.

Yeah.

Oh, I get it.

Fine. Forget it.

Damn it!

Mother...

What was... What was that
all about?

All our jobs going out the door.

There she is!
Rene!

Sleeping on the job again,
eh, Rene?

I'm just tired
from pulling your weight.

That's why I brought backup...
Takes two to replace you.

How you feeling?

I've been better.

Rene. I'm Dr. Alexander.
This is Dr. Clemmens.

Hey.

Sorry, but we're gonna have
to move your leg.

- All right.
- You tell me when you're ready.

- Yeah, I'm good.
- You good?

Mm-hmm.

- Aah!
- There you go. You got it.

Can you tell me
how this happened?

Stupid rocks came out
from under me.

I went tumbling like
Humpty Dumpty

and I...
I can't walk on my leg.

How's the pain?

Feels like pins and needles,
but I-I can take it.

No distal pulse.

And her compartments feel tense.

What does that mean?

The swelling from the fracture
is cutting off blood flow.

- Can you fix it?
- Not here.

We need to get her back down to
triage so we can do surgery.

Let's get her up and get her
the hell out of here.

It's called a colostomy bag.

I'm sorry.
It was part of the injury.

You'll have to go
to the bathroom in it

for the rest of your life.

That sucks.

But, hey, a few hours ago,

it was quitting the department
or even dying,

so... I'll take poop in a bag
any day.

- You are one cool, tough chick.
- So are you.

Thanks again for everything.

Just remember, I love you.

All right.

* Watch me start unraveling *
Drew, this is Brianna's father.

Hi. Justin.
Nice to meet you.

* Right when I stop listening * Dr.
Alister.

I've been taking care of Brianna
for the past couple months.

Here.
By her side.

* Saying these things I don't mean * You?
Where have you been?

Drew.
Look, I'm...

I'm not some deadbeat dad
who ran out on her.

I never knew I had a daughter.

Her mother never contacted me.

I-I just found out about Brianna
a few months ago,

and I'm here now.

So you're doing this more
out of curiosity than...

No. I'm her father,
and I want her in my life.

This is crazy. We don't know
if he's really her father.

- Relax.
- I'll take a DNA test.

Whatever it takes.

I just want to meet my daughter.

* Wasted my time wandering *
Please.

Of course.

Right this way.

* When you were there in front of me *
If you hurt her even a little bit...

* Both sick of living
in betweens *

So I heard your White Knight
didn't come through, huh?

No, it did not.

Uh, maybe that wasn't
your best play?

Paul, I'm really not in the mood

for Monday morning
quarterbacking, okay?

It's easy to sit here and judge,

seeing how you and Scott
are gonna be fine.

Sorry.
I-I came out here to tell you,

I spoke to my dad
about a week ago,

when all this started happening.

My family is part of a huge fund
that buys hospitals.

What? How come you didn't say
anything before?

I didn't want to get yours
or anyone else's hopes up.

But it's a big group.

They bought St. John's
in... in Denver.

And another in Phoenix
and Chicago.

And my dad is on a plane.
He'll be here in about an hour.

Are you serious?!
Yeah.

But you will have to
sell him on it.

You know, make him see why we
need to keep this place open.

I don't know what to say, Paul!

Thank... Thank you!

Yeah. Okay.

Hey.
Syd, hey.

You shouldn't be out here.

These people need help.

I can handle it for now.

It's our...
It's our supplies.

Perfect timing.

Look, now you will please
go in and lie down?

- I'm... I'm fine. I'm fine.
- Please? I got this.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Syd!

That's not good.

Hey, Doctor, is this
our medicine?

- Yeah.
- How will we get it now?!

They won't let us
cross the border!

I'll take care of it.
I'll take care of it.

Hey. Hey, hey, hey.
I'm an aid worker.

I need to get across.
I need to get our resupply.

- Get back.
- You have to open the gate for me.

- Get back!
- Our supplies are over there.

Now!

We have to get our supplies,
okay?!

Get back, all of you!

I'm an aid worker. My new warning
is get back or we will shoot.

Okay! Okay!

Okay, okay.
We got to go inside.

Come on. Come on. Come on.
Come on.

Hang in there, Rene.
You doing good?

Good as a 30-year Scotch
and a rib eye.

Once we're out of this,
I got just the place.

Hey, whoa.

Damn it, the wind shifted.

- What's going on?
- The trail's cut off up ahead.

Well, we'll just double back.

Nothing behind us but more fire.

We're blocked in
on east and west.

Well, what's the plan, Mac?

Deploy the fire shelters
and wait.

Wait for what?

For it to pass over us.

Mac's right.
We've got to do it.

Look, it's our only choice,
all right? We're out of time.

- Let's go.
- Okay.

Get the tent sealed
to the ground.

Get your face down there.
The air is cooler.

Okay.

I got you, Rene.

I know you do.

All right, come on!
Come on, let's go!

Come on. Hurry up!
Move it!

We only got a few seconds!

Stay low.
Don't come out until I tell you.

Scott, if we don't make it,
I really want you to...

No, we will, Jordan,
I promise you.

But if we don't,
I want you to know...

Here we go!
Hang on!
