The Night Shift (2014–2017): Season 3, Episode 9 - Unexpected - full transcript

Okay. What do we got?

Patient called 9-1-1 for acute
onset worst headache of life.

Nausea and visual changes.

B.P.'s 147/89, heart rate's
sinus, tach in the 120s.

Help me.
Everything's blurry.

I-I... my hand is numb.

Okay, possible aneurysm.

Let's go straight to C.T.,
and then I'll tap her.

Wait, I have a backpack.
Don't worry.

No, I came in with
a red backpack.

The medics will bring it
right in. Don't worry about it.



You need to go back to
the exam room, Mr. Neville.

Hey, I like how you look
in those scrubs.

Thank you.
But we bring the test to you.

I don't want you to put anything
up my bottom.

We'll try not to.

I just need you to go back
and sit and wait for me.

I'll wait for you all night.

Okay.
Great. Fine.

Uh, actually... whoa. Um...

Over there.

Oh, yeah.
Just... Getting my bearings.

Okay. Right there.

Can we stay out here
a little longer?

I hate being stuck in my room.



I know you do.
It's just what's best for you.

But here, I do have something
for you.

Something even better than
a parking lot full of sun?

I don't think so.

Hmm? Don't be so sure.

What... Is that...
Turkish delight.

Just don't go selling out
to the ice queen like Edmund.

Never.

You can have some after
your percussion therapy.

You gotta wait for me, though.

Not now? Man.

Man. Ugh. No. Now.

Mm.

Ooh!

Let's get you back,

get you
to your breathing treatment.

Okay.

Do we have any more signs?

What are they doing out here?
And in their regular clothes?

We are on strike, honey.

It's like seeing your teacher
at the grocery store.

In her underwear.

The hospital promised us raises
three years ago

and still hasn't
followed through.

And they always have us
working shorthanded.

Do you have anything to do
with this?

I do not, ma'am. No way.

In fact, they're the real
bosses. Don't forget that.

We're all on your sides.
Good luck.

- Thanks, drew.
- Bye, guys.

All right.
Hey, Bri.

Hey, Dr. Toph.
Hey.

And what do you want?

You could catch more flies
with honey, Mollie.

Oh, so now I'm supposed
to provide you honey?

I just need you to tell me
where the EKG paper is

and the handheld urinals.

Ask the scabs
you called in to replace us.

Throw me a bone, ladies.

Only two scabs have shown.
We're on the same side.

We're all getting screwed
by the hospital.

Some of us are getting screwed
just a little bit more, Toph.

Yeah.

Come on. It's the patients
getting screwed now.

You're really gonna go there?
You're gonna put that on us?

You need to take those handheld urinals

and shove them
straight up your...

If could find them, you know?
But...

Okay, I need you to draw
a rainbow on Mr. Neville

and get it to the lab stat.

Absolutely.

Um, where are
the I.V. Start kits

and the saline bags?

Yeah, uh, they're in
the supply chest

down the hall.
Which supply chest?

And where's the lab?

Should I be taking notes?

Uh, never mind. Never mind.
Uh, Shannon.

Can you draw blood
on Mr. Neville?

Yeah, but, uh... Shoot.

What?

Paul. Over there.
So?

So I sort of slept with him.

What?

I already regret it, so a little
less shock would be appreciated.

How did this even happen?

A little vulnerability,
maybe some hormones.

But now he's gonna get
all weird and clingy

and maybe even cry
in front of me.

I mean, you know him,

and I really don't need that
this morning, so...

Hey.

Hey.

Mm, seems fine.

Oh, my god, I was dying.

Man, be cool.

Yeah, I just...
I don't want her to think that

I'm not interested, you know,
because I am.

I mean, like, really interested.

M-maybe I should...
You know what?

I'm gonna... I'm gonna text her
and explain... look, hey, hey.

You did... you did me this favor
in return for my advice,

so I'm gonna something for you.

Give me your phone.

Wait. Oh, no... okay.

Man, hey,
play it cool, all right?

She thinks you're too into her,

she'll drop you
like a bad habit.

Now just remember what
I told you.

That women...
Women play the game.

Right, exactly. You got it.
Okay.

So... so keep it cool, man.
Trust me.

I promise you, it works.
All right?

Right.

Can I talk to you, Kenny?
Privately?

Yeah.

I might need my phone, though.

Hey, you... you know I was
just playing, right, Joce?

Yeah, I don't care about that.
That's after hours.

But right now,
you're our union liaison.

We've walked out
and you're walking in?

Oh, no, I'm not here to nurse.
No, I'm here for Lauren.

You know, she's the...

The high school soccer star
I've been training.

She's been sick for weeks.
She might have pneumonia.

She has practice,
then school, practice,

and so this is the only time
she could come by.

There are other people here
to help.

The scabs?
Oh, no, no, no. No, no.

No, she's come way too far
to get lost in the shuffle.

There's a recruiter coming
on Thursday.

She's got a shot to be the first
in the family to go to college.

But she's gotta be on, not sick.

I heard that.
And I'm not sick.

I'm just feeling a little tired

'cause you work my ass
into the ground.

I only give you what
I know you can handle.

Mm.

Okay, well, I get it.

So get her checked in

and get your butt outside
on the line.

My bad.

Did I get you in trouble
with your girlfriend?

Nah, it's just some work stuff.
Mm-hmm.

And she's not my girlfriend.

Oh, so is that why she hangs
around the gym all the time?

It's just work stuff?
That's cool.

Mind your own business.- -

- Let's get you in to Dr. Cummings.
- Yeah, all right, coach.

Oh, hold on.

- It's a mom check in. I gotta take this.
- Yeah.

Hey, ma.

Um, uh, where's the ambulance
that brought me in?

In the parking lot.
This is sort of my first day...

No, I gotta find my backpack.
Well, I could get that for...

Okay, maybe not.

You better get your ass
out there, Kenny.

Mollie's gonna kill you.
Oh, uh, EKG paper?

Please help me.

Oh, under the counter
in the box marked "EKG paper."

Have you seen Paul?
No.

We need to get our nurses back.

Tell management, not us.

Yeah, we did.

Management's taking their own
sweet time with negotiations.

Okay, has anybody seen
my patient?

I dropped her off in C.T.
five minutes ago.

She went to go get her backpack.

Sorry, you let a patient
that came in, in an ambulance

walk out of the E.R.?

Oh. I-i, uh...

To get the backpack that's
right there at your feet?

Oh, jeez.

The paramedics
must've brought that in.

I-I'll go take it
back to her.

Where's the John?

No, Mr. Neville.

Uh, did you see a woman
come out here?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, ma.
Okay.

Yeah, I'll be home soon.
Yeah, bye.

* I'm always wonderin' *

* if it's ever gonna end *

* I can feel it in my bones *

* I can feel it in my bones *

* standing in the dust *

* of what's left of us *

* I can see you in my soul *

* I can see you in my soul, oh *

Lauren! Lauren!
* did we take too many chances? *

- Mr. Neville?
- Mr. Neville!

* did we let too many pass us? *
Lauren!

* did we throw it all away? *
Lauren!

* did we throw it all away? *

Lauren!

Lauren! Oh, god. Oh, god.
* did we light too many matches? *

you're okay, Lauren.
It's gonna be okay. You're okay.

* did we throw it all away? *
T.C.: It's gonna be okay. Wake up. Wake up!

* did we throw it all away? *

* we walk through the fire *

Come on, Lauren. I got you.

Aah! My leg. My leg.
My leg!

- I got you.
- Aah! My leg!

Oh, god!
Help! I need help! Tee!

Tee, I need you!

* we walk through the fire *

okay. You're okay.
Her leg is hemorrhaging.

We need to get a tourniquet on it.

- Hand me that blood pressure cuff. Go.
- Aah!

I got you, okay.

I need you to get me a milligram
of Dilaudid or morphine,

whatever you can get.
All right. Okay.

We were in pre-op
when we heard the explosion.

What the hell happened?

It's an I.E.D.
Pipe bomb, pressure cooker.

- It was filled with bolts, I think.
- Was this a terrorist act?

I think we gotta assume
the worst.

Okay, Kenny's off to get
some drugs, all right?

He's so slow. I...
I can beat him in my sleep.

Attagirl. Attagirl.

You're gonna be okay.
Here he comes.

Hey. We gotta get her leg
to the O.R., okay.

Get me a gurney now.
Okay.

* did we throw it all away? *

wait, I have a backpack.

- Don't worry.
- No, I came in with a red backpack.

The medics will bring it
right in.

* is there a way out? *

* is there a way out? *

I got you.

Yeah, this way.

Can you walk?

We need to get these victims
treated, account for survivors.

No, we need to clear
a perimeter.

We're not the cavalry, drew.
We're doctors.

Listen up!

If you're hurt or bleeding,
we're gonna help you.

But if you can move at all,

you need to move towards
the elevators,

away from points of access.

- Open tib-fib fracture.
- Yeah, I agree.

Uh, possibly grade 3,
lots of contamination.

Let's get her up to the O.R.
let's go.

Hold on, hold on, hold on!
SWAT is sealing off everything.

We can't go up to the O.R.

You've gotta be kidding me, man!

I think I know who did this,
okay? She was my patient.

She had a red backpack.

It was large enough to have
a pipe bomb.

That's what I'm saying.
Okay, that's what terrorists do.

They wait for first responders
to arrive,

they detonate a second device.

- Yeah, I saw that in "the hurt locker."
- Yeah, and I, I lived it.

They could also be waiting
for us to load our patients

- into ambulances and pick us off outside.
- Well, you gotta make a call.

Topher, we gotta do surgery
right now.

Come on, come on, Topher. What

are we gonna do? Come on, Toph.

We're staying here.
No!

You're wrong, okay?
We gotta go back...

We could lose people
in the transfer!

I'm your commanding officer
here.

Until SWAT secures
the perimeter,

we keep everybody safe.
We need to know what's going on.

All right, Kenny, trauma 2,
that's our new O.R.

Tee, go give SWAT a description.

Everybody else,
continue triaging.

We gotta go to trauma!

Multiple lacerations
with deep glass under the skin.

We need to get this cleaned out.

Hey. Are you okay?

No. No, I'm not okay.
I'm scared to death.

Shannon, you can be scared,
but you need to focus.

Aren't you freaked out?

Yes, but we have a job to do.

Okay, I need you to go and get
suture kits, kerlix rolls,

and all the o-neg you can find.

Yeah. Yeah, okay.
You good?

Uh-huh.
Okay, go, quickly.

I can't get to you now, Bri.
It's all closed off.

I'm scared.

There's no nurses
and no doctors.

No you.

I know. I know.
But I called up

some of the orderlies
who work up there.

They're gonna come hang out.

I gotta work now, okay?

Okay.

I'll tell you what.

You can have some of that
Turkish delight now.

How does that sound?
Great.

Except I left it down there.

I'll get some up to you
as soon as I can. I promise.

Okay.

Achilles tendon rupture

and she's got a tear
to her popliteal artery.

Got sterile gowns,
sterile drapes, a ventilator.

I saw an orthopedics kit
outside.

Kenny, you need to go rest
that shoulder.

Yeah, you landed pretty hard.

Look, look, look, I'm the
only nurse you guys got.

So let's just focus on Lauren.

Okay, I'm gonna place
an ex-fix,

hopefully stabilize
this leg enough

to avoid any more
vascular injury.

Go grab that kit.
All right.

We need some extra hands.

And Shannon could use help

pulling glass out
of Mr. Neville.

The E.R.'s sealed off,
so it's just us.

Paul, I got this. Go help.

Okay, okay. Of course.

Just got word
from the parking lot.

We found a woman fitting your
description sitting in a truck.

What can I do?

There may be more casualties
out there.

When they're ready out there,
you should go. We got this.

Okay.

Driver, step out of the vehicle!

Step out of the vehicle!

Show me your hands!

Walk toward my voice. Slowly.

I said slowly!

Stop!

Get on your knees! Stop!

I said stop!

Do it!

Keep your hands
where I can see 'em!

Stop! What the
hell are you doing?!

I don't get to her,
she's gonna bleed out.

- And you care?!
- No, I only care if there's another bomb.

She's the only one
who can tell us.

Aah! That hurts! It hurts!

Yeah? It's gonna hurt
a whole lot more

if you don't tell me
if there's another bomb.

You can't do that.
You're a doctor.

No, no,
it's just you and me here.

I can do what I want.
Ow!

I can pull this out
the hard way.

There's no more bomb.
There's no other bomb. I swear.

Please stop!

Now why did you do this?

Because you deserved it!

White count's over 20,000.

It could be a reaction
to the trauma...

Possibly from the pneumonia.

Okay, we're all set here.
Let's check her pulse.

Nothing,
just enlarged lymph nodes.

Nothing.

We need to do a fem-pop bypass
so she doesn't lose this leg.

Get me an 11 blade
and 7-0 Prolene.

This her?
Yeah.

Shot twice,
hollow point bullets.

I need a chest tube,
an intubation tray,

and four units of prbcs.

Of all the days for the
nurses to not be here.

Yep.

One bullet left axillae.
One right thigh.

No breath sounds on the left.

Damn it. You know,
this is all my fault.

The collapsed lung? No.
Let's place a chest tube.

I saw her.
What?

She was my patient.
She wanted her backpack.

I didn't put it together.
Well, why would you?

Oh, you know, she was sweating,
acting strange.

Tee, that describes 90%
of the people who come in here.

Yeah, I just... I just didn't
think, you know? Didn't...

Didn't think I'd be in danger
in my own hospital.

It's not a war zone.

You take on a lot.
Do not take on this.

You know,
I spoke to her outside.

She said we got what
we deserved.

She said a hospital
deserved this?

That's what she said.
Who knows, right?

I mean, these days,
anybody can do it.

There's bomb recipes on
a thousand different web sites.

Such a sad face.

Yeah. A lot of sad faces
around here tonight.

Let's keep her alive.

I want to hear what we did to deserve this.

- This one's gonna need some deep sutures.
- Yeah.

Hey. You're doing great.

You know, just take it slow.

How are you not freaked out?

Who says I'm not?

You know, I remember
the first time I was bombed.

It was in the sugar mill
just west of Saigon.

And I actually pissed myself.

Of course, I told the other
soldiers that it was just sweat.

But... Now you don't smell
as if you've pissed yourself.

I didn't.

Mr. Neville, um,
how about you just, uh,

try and get some rest,
all right? Save your energy.

One moment.

Yeah.

He's really out of it.

Early Alzheimer's,
maybe dementia?

Hey, how long have you two
been married?

Uh, we're... we're not married.

Oh. Racial issues?

Nope.

I remember when I was
in college,

I liked a beautiful negro girl.

She was as dark as ebony.

And the sexual acrobatics...

That's not it, Mr. Neville.
We just work together.

Exactly.
And that's all.

That's it.
That's, uh, that's all.

Oh. Uh-huh.

Hmm.
Okay, let's...

Let's get this glass out
of your ass, Mr. Neville.

Yeah.

Angela Wei?

Angela Wei?

Uh, I think she was in my room,
right? She was really sick.

Uh, there was so much smoke,

we had to move a bunch of
gurneys into the break room.

This is taking forever.
My grandpa is missing.

Look, everybody,

the SWAT team has
let in some first responders,

but they're still sweeping
the building.

So once we get a final count,

we can start evacuating
those with I.D.S.

All for your own safety.
You just have to be patient.

No. I want to know now.

We've been scared, waiting,

and now you're taking roll like
we're a bunch of kindergartners.

Yeah.

Hey, hey, ma'am, listen.
He's just trying to help.

You guys need to take a breath.

You don't give a crap
about our families.

He does.

Your grandfather,
Daniel Rodriguez?

He snuck out to have a smoke
early this morning, okay?

I saw him myself.

Everyone outside was evacuated

to a gym
at the community center.

I'll call over there, okay?
Thank god.

We've been trying to get back in
since the explosion.

The strike can shove it
on a day like this.

Hey, is, uh, Kenny doing okay?

Uh, trauma 2 with Scott. Yeah,

he's okay.
Okay.

- His friend Lauren?

- Not so much.
- Thanks.

Okay, well, we got it from here.
You get back to the patients.

Everybody else, listen up. We're
gonna tell you what's happening.

Okay, what can I do
for you guys?

Oh, you're a sight
for sore eyes.

Uh, can we get a tetanus shot
for Mr. Neville

before we discharge him?
Yes.

Thank you.

Are you okay, Mr. Neville?

I don't feel so good.
It's... it's itching.

It's awful! Get it off of me!
Whoa, whoa, let's not do this.

Blistering on the stitches,
oozing.

Could be allergic to
the stitches

or maybe the shrapnel?

It's all right.

Whoa.

Uh, okay. Um...

Mr. Neville,
we will be right back.

What? Where are you going?

All non-injured

may evacuate the hospital
at this time.

Hey, stop, stop! Topher! Hey.

What? What? What is it?
Anthrax.

What?

Our patient, Mr. Neville,

he has cutaneous Anthrax
all over his body.

Are you... you sure?
Textbook.

Painless but itchy black ulcers,
blisters.

Mr. Neville had cuts
all over his body.

That... that's how the
Anthrax spores got in.

Oh, my god.

So, the bomb wasn't...
Wasn't just meant to maim.

It was a dispersal method
for Anthrax?

Anybody who came in contact
could be sick.

If it... if it aerosolized,
that could mean the whole E.R.

We need to shut... sir!

Shut down the E.R.
nobody comes in or out.

Everyone, we need you
to calm down, all right?

Everybody, just please...
Please calm down.

Her blood pressure
and oxygen levels are back up.

All right.
Let's update SWAT.

I'm sure they've cleared
the hospital by now.

Yeah.

Hey.
What's going on?

We had to shut down
the hospital. Anthrax.

It was in the bomb.

Probably, and since you two just
worked on the bomber...

We could've breathed in spores
or gotten it from her blood.

Okay, we need to decontaminate.
Right.

Anyone symptomatic?

Your old man.
Multiple Anthrax lesions.

Limited to his skin,

but we're beginning treatment
for everyone,

so you two need to go right now.

Everyone's under medical
observation till the morning.

Anthrax could be everywhere.

Anthrax?

That's right. We think
it was in the bomb.

How's, uh... how's Lauren?

We were able to restore
blood flow to the lower leg.

She's lucky we could
save it in time.

Yeah, lucky.

She didn't want to come in
today, but I made her.

Kenny, you had no way
of knowing that. Come on.

You need your antibiotics.

Lauren's already on Cipro
from the operation. So...

Well, now it's time for you.

On my way.
Okay, good.

It's all gonna be okay.
Don't worry.

O-okay, worry,
but it's gonna be okay.

No, don't wake up my mother.

Love you, too.

Oh.

Just taking a breath.

You deserve it.

About earlier...

Sorry. I was wrong.
You were right.

Okay, I don't even know what
you're talking about anymore,

but, uh, I'm pretty sure it
doesn't matter.

If you would've listened to me

and sent those patients to all
those different hospitals,

we would've spread Anthrax
everywhere.

* it's alright, it's alright *

that was probably the plan
in the first place, wasn't it?

The plan was fear.

And believe me, I fell for it.

I was scared.

You were?

I was... I was petrified.

* it's alright *

and it... it comes with
having kids.

You... you realize

you have something
more important to live for.

* it's alright *

you know, everyone thinks
having a family

is only exhaustion

and the end of fun.

But once you have kids,
you realize that...

Watching their soccer game,

getting a-a piece of art,

or just even...

Having a conversation with them,
it's... it's exciting.

It's as exciting
as a blockbuster movie

and four-star meal
rolled into one.

All you want to do is
be around them.

Sorry, I'm... I'm just...
I'm just rambling.

No, you're not rambling.

Brianna.

Uh...

I don't know.

I just... I feel... Like...

* don't get consumed *

I can't describe how I feel.

I can.
You're a good dude.

You see this kid who basically
has nobody else in the world

and you step right in.

She's just so cool.

And brave, and yet I-i know

she's had nothing
but disappointment

her whole life.

I just feel like
I need to be there for her.

* lost count of the dice rolls *

I want to be there for her.

Right.

But I just feel like
I can't leave her side

until she gets
that lung transplant.

Any update on that?

It's not good.

Her lungs are shutting down.

Carbon dioxide is climbing fast.

They wanna put her on BiPAP.

She is gonna need that lung
sooner rather than later.

Does... does she know?

* get dragged through *

nope.

I was supposed to tell her
tonight, so...

* don't be consumed *

* it's alright, it's alright *

line is in.

Start the phenylephrine
at 10 mics per minute.

Temp's still climbing up to 105.

She's septic.

The gram stain came back.
She has Anthrax in her blood.

Septicemic Anthrax?

But she's on the same big-gun
antibiotics that we are.

She's a healthy young woman.

Could she be immunocompromised?

That would explain the pneumonia

and why she's been sick
the past few weeks.

I don't think that's pneumonia.

See these
well-defined edges here?

That's a mass.

It's already fading.

It looks like the antibiotics
are doing their work,

and you're gonna be okay.

Great.

How did that happen?

You don't remember
the bomb blast

and the aftermath?

And, "aah, it's Anthrax!"

I'll be honest with you.
Uh, I'm a bit addled sometimes.

We all are, Mr. Neville.
We all are.

Where's your husband?

He's not my husband.
He's...

Paul's just a really good guy
that...

Got in with the wrong girl.
Is that you?

Yeah. I think it is.

Look, you are so young
and so unformed.

How could you possibly know that
you're the wrong girl for him?

If you care about him at all,
let him make that decision.

We're smarter than we look,
you know.

But my balls still really hurt.

Excuse me?

My balls, they hurt like hell.

That's why I'm here.

Okay.
Well, let's take a look.

Okay, so... whoa.

Whoa.

Hang on, Mr. Neville.

Looks like most of
his intestines

have slipped into his scrotum.

An inguinal hernia, yeah.

It hurts like hell.

Can you fix it?

Toph, hey.
I just checked on the bomber.

Vitals are fine.
Cops are guarding her.

Okay, I just talked to SWAT.

They're gonna take her to
the jail ward with full guard.

Did they get a name?

Katharine Santiago.

Pharmacist. Uh, lived alone.

Still no motive.

Wait. Topher, did you just say
Katharine Santiago?

Yeah.

I knew I recognized that face.

She came in here about
six months ago. She was my case.

Jordan, you've seen hundreds
of patients since then.

Yeah, but I remember this one.

Excuse me.

Evening, Dr. Alexander.

I thought we gave you
enough benzos

to help you rest comfortably.

I use it to sleep,

every night at home since...

Since it happened.

Would you like some more?

No.

I'd need more than you could
give me to be comfortable.

I remember you.

From that night.

You remember everything?

Yeah.

It was my last shift
before I went off

to work on the reservation.
And, uh...

I had just been through
something... Hard.

And it was all
I could think about.

But I remember you coming in.

It was a hit-and-run.

You came in with both
your husband

and your son.

Both D.O.A.

You suffered significant trauma
to your chest and your spine.

I got your heart going again,
and I sent you to surgery.

We saved you.

Yes, you did.

So what I don't understand is...

Why did you do this to us?

When I woke up,
John and Corey were gone.

And all I could think about

was making the people
who ruined my life suffer.

You mean
the hit-and-run driver.

He's not the one who saved me.

You.

You were the one.

You should've just let me die.

I can only imagine
what you felt.

You can never imagine!

Losing a child?

A husband?

He was my best friend.

I didn't want to live then
and I don't want to live now.

No! No, stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!

Stop!
Aah!

What the hell happened?

She pulled out her chest tube.

Get the crash cart.

Calling time of death...
5:48 A.M.

* throw me down *

* I'll steal the moon *

look at me.

* I'll tear the night *

it's not your fault.
* keep it from you *

* ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh *

* ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh *

* oh... *

Dr. Scott looked at the X-ray,
and, uh,

he thinks he'll be able
to get rid of all of it.

So with that and chemo,
you're gonna be okay.

Except for
the messed up leg part, right?

Look, Lauren...

I'm... I'm...

I'm sorry.

Uh...

I shouldn't have brought
you here.

You know, if I didn't,
this wouldn't have...

If you didn't...

I'd have a tumor in my lung
and I wouldn't know it.

Guess I never thought
about it like that.

That's 'cause
you've been amazing.

Pushing me as hard as you can
so I can get the scholarship,

and... Making me the best
soccer player I could be.

I-I just know how much
you want it, you know?

Do you?
I do, I do.

You know, when I was your age,

I wanted more than anything
to be in the NFL.

It was my dream
more than anything.

Hey, what?

Nothing. Just...

You're just like my dad.

Your dad?
Yes.

He tells the same
stories over and over again.

Like, I've heard that one
at least a hundred times.

But... That's just not me.

What's not you?

There are a lot of things I'm
gonna miss because of my leg,

but soccer isn't one of them.

I hate soccer.

No.

Are you serious?

Despise it.

I've been playing 350 days
out of the year since I was 6.

No weekends, no fun.

Just...
Train, train, train

so I can get that scholarship
and get into college.

But...

I don't know.
I guess that's all over now.

No, it's not.

Look, Lauren...

Okay. Hey...

You are the most positive,

hard-working person
I've ever met.

You're telling me that... that
if you turn that... that focus,

that... that energy to your...
To your college applications,

you don't think... you don't
think you'll get a scholarship?

Hmm?

I got a recommendation letter
in me you wouldn't believe.

And sadly, you...

You got your college essay
right here.

Yeah.
Mm.

Like, how could they turn down
a dual threat...

Bomb and...
Cancer survivor?

We take what god gives us.

* bare *

Amen.

But me and you...

We're gonna do this together.

Okay?

* what you're thinking of *

Okay.
Yeah?

* what you're thinking of *

Okay.

Don't be sad, drew.
It's okay.

I know there's a plan for me.

Yes, there is.

And I'm all over it.

You're on every donor list
in the country.

I check 'em every day.

No.

What I mean is...

I've always heard that
when you die,

you go to a better place.

Gotta say, I've been in and out
of a dozen foster homes,

had cystic fibrosis and, uh,

now I need a lung transplant.

So if I go...

It's gotta be to a better place
than this, right?

I'm not gonna let that happen.

I've read enough about
lung transplants, drew.

They just don't happen.

Could you read to me?

I'm feeling a little tired.

Okay, yeah. No, get some...

All right, good to go.

Hey, hey.

Uh, Mr. Neville did great
in surgery.

Uh, he's gonna be out
in a couple days.

Good.

Yeah. All right.

So I-i know we haven't exactly
had time

to talk about the elephant
in the room. Um...

Oh, let's not talk about
Mr. Neville's scrotum.

Uh, yeah, there's that, too.

Uh...
Look, Paul.

Um... I like you.

I-I think you're a good guy.

You might even be good for me.

But I know where this is going,

and it would... it would ruin
our friendship,

maybe even our working
together. So...

Yeah, yeah.

I was actually, uh, gonna say
the same thing, you know?

It's, uh, it's the right call.

I mean, uh, Kenny, Krista,
Jordan, T.C.

Jordan and Scott.
Yeah.

I mean, uh...

Yeah, it's for the best, right?

So, uh, you know,
I'll see you around.

Yeah. I'll see you around.

hey, Scott, Paul, can I have
a second, everybody?

* I'll carry you *

uh, I just...

I-I just... I just want to say
that I have never been so proud.

We are on the front lines.

This is our job,

but sometimes we put ourselves
in harm's way to help others.

We make a difference.

So it's not about getting
knocked down.

It's about getting back up,

but we will get back up
because of you.

Hey.

You okay?

Yeah.

You know, bomb, Anthrax,

Why wouldn't I be?
Yeah.

If you need anything,
I'll be here.

Thank you.
Yeah.

Hey, Jess.

Um...

Everything's clear.

Wait, you... you're kidding me.

Thanks... thanks for letting me know.

Hey, guys. It was the union.
We got our raise.

The strike's over.

Oh.
Yes!

It's about time we got some
good news, right?

That's debatable.

What are you talking about?

That was just the...
The head of day shift.

The reason that
the nurses' negotiations

took so long with management?

The hospital is... is being sold
to an insurance company.

What?

And... and the company wants
to sell off the E.R.
