The Mob Doctor (2012) s01e04 Episode Script

Change of Heart

Previously on "The Mob Doctor" Ro: So, you recognize your new patient? Witness Protection for more than a year.
I never agreed to kill somebody.
[ Pounds desk .]
Yes, you did! You came to me begging and pleading for your brother's life.
[ Gunshot .]
After I killed Moretti for you, you decided to stay.
So as long as you're in Chicago, I own you.
Grace: Does Franco know you killed his boss? Who do you think got rid of the body? You look pretty good.
He almost buried me alive.
Thanks to me, Constantine thinks you're 6 feet under in kenosha.
You know what they say "God helps those" [ Gun cocks .]
That help themselves.
Just walk away! Girl: Really good at that.
Girl #2: Thanks! Grace: When I was little, a strange man moved down the street.
Neighbors were upset, and I wasn't allowed near the house.
[ Tires squeal .]
Even the cops couldn't get rid of him.
But there was one man who could.
In my mind, he showed up just for me, and I was always glad to see him.
Ohh! Aah! Ohh! Slow ride I love seeing you in your native habitat.
Yeah, I used to come here when I was 14, get wasted, and play pool all night long.
[ Chuckling .]
Really? No.
But my Uncle taught me how to hustle pool.
All right, then the 9 downstairs.
I have no idea what that means.
[ Chuckling .]
What are you doing? Just trying to distract you.
You're gonna have to try harder.
[ Laughs .]
Did you hear Dr.
Baylor cut her sabbatical short? Why? Because there's a cardiac auto-transplantation on the schedule.
Did she pick a resident to assist? No, but I would kill for it.
You're gonna have to fight Olivia for that.
Oh, I'll fight her.
[ Laughs .]
[ Man laughs .]
Triple doubles! Set 'em up! What the hell? Grace Devlin in the house? High-school friends.
Hey! Hey! How you doing? Oh.
Okay.
Wow.
Jimmy.
Brett.
You finally got time to hang out with us peons? No, I'm just here for the fries.
- Hey, Grace! - Hey, Tony.
Jimmy, this whiskey ain't gonna drink itself.
Yeah.
I'm coming.
Uh, I got to go.
Say hey to your ma? [ Patrons gasp .]
Woman: You okay? Oh, hell.
Are you serious? Okay, let's have a look.
Oh, I'm good.
I just slipped.
Occipital lac.
Galea's still intact.
English! Your drunk ass fell, and you cracked your head open.
[ Inhales sharply .]
You're gonna need stitches.
It's a scratch.
No.
It doesn't hurt.
Yeah, that's 'cause you're plastered.
All right, this'll keep your wounds closed until you get to a hospital.
We'll drive you.
I'm good.
Next stop Crow & the whistle? Jimmy's buying! Whoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo! Let's move! Yes! See ya! [ Cellphone chimes .]
Move it along! Let's go! The hospital? No, it's my mom.
I hate to say it.
You got to go.
Your text said something about a pregnant woman, so I picked some stuff up from the hospital.
The baby ain't mine, if that's what you're thinking.
Oh.
Okay.
I wasn't.
[ Elevator doors close .]
You upset about the car explosion, huh? I'm okay.
Yeah, but you saw a guy die.
I see men die every day.
Listen, Constantine's putting feelers out.
Someone's gonna pay.
You remember when we were in high school? We used to talk about taking off to Mexico, just boost a ride, drive till we got there? Yeah.
Do it.
Put your family in the car and get out of Chicago, Grace.
Okay, you're scaring me.
You don't need this.
It's time to leave.
Grace, thanks for coming.
This is Traci.
[ Sighs .]
My baby hasn't moved in almost two days.
When are you due? About three weeks.
You have an ob-gyn? Yeah, in Detroit.
But Constantine wants me to have the baby here, so he sent Gio to pick me up and says you're gonna deliver the baby.
Boss, got some business over on Pilsen.
All right I take off? Yeah.
Why don't we take a look? So, you work for Constantine? Once in a while.
What, he pay for your medical school or something? Or something.
So, we have good cardiac activity.
Fetal heart rate's in the 160s.
I swear I've been doing everything right No drinking, no smoking Nothing.
Traci, your baby's breech.
I'd like to turn him He's the right size If you'll let me.
Will it hurt him? Not if I do it right.
Well, yeah, okay.
Get his head down, ready to meet mom in a few weeks.
Just so you know I'm really not a bad person.
I didn't think you were.
How is she? The baby's fine.
The mother is, too.
She wanted me to know that she's not a bad person.
Who am I to judge? Maybe she's hormonal.
Constantine.
What? Look, you gonna tell me what's going on, or am I gonna ask her? All right.
She got knocked up by a politician.
I'm brokering a little deal trying to keep it quiet.
That's all you need to know.
I got to go.
[ Machine-gun fire .]
I think you got him.
Yeah? I'm out here shooting bottles while Constantine takes everything away from me.
Why don't you ask me about my day? Maybe I got good news.
What are you my girlfriend? What's the one thing standing between you and Chicago, between you and Constantine? Are you serious? You found him Ralph Severino? You gave me a job.
I don't like to let you down.
Severino's holed up at some motel on Cumberland Avenue.
He's under FBI protection.
Yeah, well, I need to get to him.
He's got a marshal sitting in front of his door 24/7.
These sons of bitches They want to keep him alive so he can testify against me, right? It ain't happening.
Moretti, are you missing the part about the federal marshal? We're not gonna get to Severino.
I got a way.
Profile says she works at Café Forno.
You got to find her.
Who is she? That's my ticket back to Chicago.
In a press release issued this morning U.
S.
attorney Mark Hanson announced that the government will proceed with its murder and racketeering trial against fugitive mob boss Paul Moretti.
Five dimes on the home team, with the points.
Alderman's stuck in traffic.
I want you to look at this.
While Moretti remains at large, the U.
S.
Attorney has decided to continue with the trial.
A guilty verdict will likely land Moretti on the FBI's most wanted list.
It'd save the feds a lot of time and money if they knew I clipped him.
And you'd be arrested for murder, huh? You know, you really are starting to be a buzzkill, pal.
[ Door opens .]
Here he comes.
Constantine: David.
Davy boy! [ Laughs .]
Long time no see.
Come on.
Let's get a drink.
I'm fine.
And I prefer "Alderman.
" Stavos Kazan.
For 15 years, you've been acting like your boss was just down the street, instead of going gray in statesville.
Ah, he's loyal, which is more than I can say for some people.
Come on.
Let's sit down, David.
I'm fine.
You know, there was a time Wasn't too long ago You were a young turk out there, gonna change the world.
And as I recall, you had both your hands in our pockets.
Which is why I took this meeting, but given my stance against the gaming ordinance, I didn't think you'd be backing my campaign.
Perhaps we can change your mind.
Before Moretti disappeared, he tried everything to get my support Begged, bribed.
Bugged the crap out of me.
If I didn't change my vote for him, I'm certainly not gonna change it for you.
Thought of any names yet? Names? Names for what? For your new son.
He's due in a few weeks.
Traci Coolidge She's a beautiful woman.
I'm a happily married man.
Which is why you booked your little liaison with a burner phone and paid for it with a pay-as-you-go credit card.
Slick.
But still greasy.
I see prison didn't knock the edge off.
Don't call me again.
Unless you plan on making a sizable campaign contribution.
I got your number, Alderman.
[ Scoffs .]
[ Laughs .]
So, I finally went out with the guy from the gym last night.
- The grunter? - Blue shorts.
Oh.
And? And it was like prom night A whole day of getting ready for two minutes of disappointment.
Grace! I've been looking all over for you.
My head won't stop bleeding.
Yeah, it's 'cause you need stitches, you dumbass.
I'll call down to the E.
R.
Well, I got to be at the shop in an hour.
Can you help me out? Please? Uh, room 406 is open.
All right.
Follow me.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You guys wait there.
[ Elevator bell dings .]
Okay, I am going to numb your scalp.
Ohh, it hurts! I Haven't even started.
Well, just do it fast.
I can't be late.
Okay, you want fast? I can give you fast.
Ohh! Ow! Ow! Ohh! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ugh! Did you just staple my friggin' head? Mm-hmm.
With a surgical stapler.
All right, come back in 10 days and have those removed.
Thanks.
I owe you.
Dr.
Devlin.
It's just blood.
That's a halo sign.
Okay, you're leaking cerebral spinal fluid.
What does that mean? It means you need a C.
T.
scan right now.
Get in the chair.
Well, what about work? You are taking a sick day.
Ro, you'll take him to radiology.
I'm gonna get that C.
T.
ordered.
Hey.
What are you doing here? Do you remember Tony from the bar? He has a halo sign.
No, I mean, why are you here and not with Dr.
Baylor? She already started the pre-op briefing for the surgical staff.
We ligate the inferior and superior vena cava, pulmonary artery, vein, and aorta so the organ may be removed.
Now, why does the heart need to be removed in the first place? Because the large cancer mass on the back wall of the left atrial chamber is inaccessible in its anatomic position.
Good, and what is the hemodynamic significance of the location of this tumor? As Mary's left atrium pumps blood, the opposite wall balloons instead of contracting, impeding blood flow.
If the cancer mass increases as little as 5%, it could result in sudden death.
Very good.
The cancer can then safely be excised [ cellphone vibrates .]
From the atrial wall and sent into pathology.
After the margins are deemed cancer-free, the heart goes back into the body And we go out for Martinis.
[ Laughter .]
Who's my anesthesiologist? Uh, it would be Dr.
Johnston.
Tell him I'll be using sevoflurane.
Oh, uh, that might not be a good idea.
The patient has a family history of malignant hyperthermia.
That's not in the patient history.
It is now I spoke with the patient this morning, and I, uh, tracked down the mother's medical records.
The mother died of appendicitis.
No, she died during an appendectomy An allergic reaction to the anesthetic.
I-I would suggest we switch to propofol.
Good catch, doctor.
You may have just saved my patient's life.
Now, everyone, back to work.
Dr.
Devlin, can we speak a minute? Thank you for that.
Oh.
Yeah.
I'm glad I could help.
I'm giving the assist to Olivia, which is no reflection on your skills.
Yeah.
You're disappointed.
I'm sorry.
No.
I understand.
Thank you.
Grace: Hey.
Hey, Grace.
And guy from the bar last night.
Tony Picosta, meet Dr.
Robinson.
Yeah, you had a little flashlight in your pocket.
Yeah, you pulled a Greg Louganis off the bar.
Grace, you ever talk to Franco? I always thought you'd be hitched to that son of a bitch.
Oh.
Sorry.
New guy doesn't know about the old guy.
My bad.
Hey, let's talk about my head.
C.
T.
showed no fracture, no brain bleed.
[ Muffled .]
What about my stain? Cerebral spinal fluid isn't yours.
Did you get into a fight last night? No.
I mean, the guys were horsing around in the party van, but Hey.
Fellas.
Hey, guys.
Yo, hey.
Get off me.
Man: What the hell, Devlin? Jimmy? Jimmy?! Jimmy?! Oh, my God.
Nurse! Page code trauma now! Get him in the Mayfield and set up the craniotome.
Yes, doctor.
Okay.
One two three.
Dr.
White.
This is Elaine, Jimmy's wife.
She and I went to school together.
Yeah.
How is he, doctor? He has a cribriform plate fracture with bleeding around his brain.
I-I don't understand.
It's an epidural hematoma.
Grace, I don't know what the hell you guys are talking about.
Just tell me he's gonna be okay.
Ms.
McDonnell, I'm about to remove the blood around his brain.
If all goes well, he'll be fine.
Please excuse me.
[ Sighs .]
Why couldn't you just say that? I'm sorry.
I wanted you to understand That's your job.
You're the doctor.
[ Monitor beeping .]
I don't know what I'd do without him.
[ Cellphone rings .]
What do you need? Traci's water broke.
She's not due for a few weeks.
Yeah, well, tell that to the kid.
How far apart are her contractions? I don't know, Grace.
I'm over here at my house.
She's by herself? No, she's with Gio right now.
Gio's mother's gonna go over there and look after the kid until the final arrangements are made.
All right, I'm on my way.
[ Cellphone beeps .]
Was that Grace? Yeah.
She's on her way over to see her now.
He can live in denial of the sonogram, but he's not gonna be able to deny flesh and blood.
Once he changes his position, we're, uh, close to a majority in city council.
You got that right.
Here.
A little something I want you to have.
I figure 15 years of loyalty, you deserve the gold one.
If I knew you were gonna get me a $20,000 watch, I would have visited more often.
It's all happening, Tino.
Everything's falling into place.
Let's hope you're right.
Hey.
So, what can I get you? Uh, I'll have a double espresso.
Coming right up.
Thanks, Peggy.
Hey, Ro.
Grace, why aren't you in the O.
R.
? What? Dr.
Baylor's autotransplantation They're scrubbing in now.
It's a slam dunk for a journal article.
Baylor picked Olivia over me.
You're joking.
No.
Hey, listen, uh, can you take a lunch break now? IJust finished my shift.
Why? Can you get me, uh, a B.
O.
A.
kit, an O.
B.
drape set, and a pediatric mask? Are we delivering babies now? Hopefully just one.
And the mom's in labor right now.
How far apart are the contractions? Don't really know.
Dilation and station? Not really sure.
Okay.
Do you want to tell me why she can't come to the hospital? Not really.
She's in trouble, and she needs our help.
How's Traci? Who's she? She's here to help.
Oh, unless you want to do it.
[ Traci screaming .]
It hurts! Oh, it hurts! [ Groaning .]
Oh, my God! It hurts! Okay.
[ Shrieks .]
It hurts! Ro: Baby's crowning.
All right, Traci, you got to push, okay? You're almost there.
I can't.
[ Panting .]
I can't.
I can't.
It hurts too much.
It hurts too much.
All right, ready? Okay, you got to give us just a couple more good ones.
Okay, ready? It hurts too much! You can do it! One, two, three! [ Screaming .]
[ Man speaking indistinctly on P.
A.
.]
[ Wheels squeaking .]
[ Screaming .]
Okay, Traci, you're doing so great, all right? One more big push, okay? You can do it.
The head's out.
[ Screams .]
We're almost done.
I'll suction the nose.
[ Whimpering, gasping .]
One more.
Ready? One, two, three! [ Straining .]
That's good, Traci! Real good! Here he is! [ Panting .]
[ Crying .]
And a full head of hair.
That's good luck.
Take him away.
Take him away.
Everything's okay, Traci.
He's perfectly healthy.
No, I don't want to see him.
Tell Constantine I want my money.
Now.
Would you calculate and record the APGAR scores? I'll be right back.
[ Gloves snap .]
[ Cellphone rings .]
[ Cellphone beeps .]
Yeah? She wants money.
Constantine, tell me the truth.
Are you selling this baby? Of course not.
What do you think I am A pimp? Well, you're paying her for something.
Look, it's none of your business, Grace.
The baby's gonna be okay.
He's gonna end up with a nice Canadian couple, all right? Grace, Traci's bleeding.
I got to go.
Oh, God.
She's hemorrhaging.
Traci, come on.
[ Weakly .]
What is happening? Her uterus isn't contracting.
It's completely atonic.
She needs pitocin.
And an ob-gyn.
All right, screw it.
I'm calling 911.
Grace, she's unconscious.
I barely feel her pulse.
Oh, my God.
We have to operate right now.
Okay, put her down here.
Grab her head.
You need anything else? Yeah, can you go away and come back in an hour with ice? For what? So I can chill beer for a party.
Remember how you were thinking of going to med school? Yeah.
Well, think of this as a crash course.
Olivia: Dr.
Baylor, I really want to thank you again for the assist, you've been working the residents board for weeks, Olivia.
You've earned it.
The margins are cancer-free, and the heart is fully reattached.
Ladies and gentlemen, let's go off bypass.
[ Monitor beeping .]
Time to close.
I'll sew down the aorta.
Make sure you can see the needle tip.
I know.
Attaching to the posterior wall.
Your angle is off.
I'll reposition.
It's still off.
[ Rapid beeping .]
Mike: She's in SVT.
Pulling up adenosine now.
Dr.
Baylor: You just transected the nerve.
Step away from the table.
No.
God.
Please, I can finish.
Move! Get me two units of blood, sutures.
Call Dr.
Ratford in neuroassist.
Man: Calling Dr.
Ratford.
[ Groans quietly .]
What happened? After you gave birth, you started bleeding, and, uh, you lost consciousness.
Where's the other woman? She had to go Go back to the hospital.
I just wanted to wait till you woke up.
[ Groans .]
Gosh.
Is it supposed to hurt this much? Traci Um I had to give you an emergency hysterectomy.
Hysterectomy? Yeah.
Why would you do that? 'Cause you would have bled to death.
Oh.
Does it Mean that I I can't have any more children? Yes.
I'm sorry.
Where is he? Where's my baby? He's just in the other room with Gio's mother.
He's doing good.
Okay, well, I want him back.
What? Yeah.
If he's the only kid I'll ever have, I want him.
That's really between you and Constantine.
I mean Grace He's the only kid I'll ever have.
You got to help me.
[ Tires screech .]
[ Buzzer .]
Constantine: Yeah.
Hey, it's me.
What's going on? I'm in the middle of something.
[ Sighs .]
So, look Traci wants to keep her baby.
No, no.
The kid's getting picked up tomorrow.
You know, I don't know what kind of deal you have with your adoption lawyers, but by law, she does have six months to change her mind.
Laws don't apply here.
She's not some innocent victim, Grace.
She's an adult.
She made her decision.
[ Inhales sharply .]
Okay, you and I both know that's not true.
What the hell are you talking about? She is a $2,000-a-night call girl who got knocked up by a politician, who wanted money and who's now getting 100 grand.
And now she wants to keep her kid.
Stay out of it.
You hear me? She's playing you, just like she played the alderman.
She's gonna screw this up, right? What are you talking about? She'll do the right thing.
Come on.
Let's get back to the meeting.
[ Cellphone rings .]
Talk to me, Franco.
Listen, I found your Peggy and followed her home.
Been watching her for hours.
Yeah, and? And she micro'd a burrito, ran on a treadmill, and cut coupons.
But, uh, guess what she just finished doing.
I don't know.
Watching "Oprah"? How should I know? Video-chatting on her computer with Ralph Severino.
She's his daughter, isn't she? I want to know what our endgame is here, boss.
Let me worry about that.
[ Knock on door .]
Dr.
White, I got your page.
Your friend Jimmy's craniotomy went well.
Ohh! That's that's great.
I needed some good news.
Not so fast.
This is the post-op C.
T.
scan.
An AVM.
Correct.
All right.
I guess I'll go tell him.
And his wife.
[ Monitor beeping .]
Hey, guys.
Can we talk? So, your operation was successful.
But we did discover something on your brain C.
T.
You're freaking me out, Grace.
Deep inside your brain, we found something called an arteriovenous malformation, or an AVM.
You could have had it since birth.
Again with the doctor talk! Basically, uh, you You have a time bomb in your brain.
Oh, God.
What I'm gonna die, Grace? There's only a 10% chance it can rupture, but if it if it did, you would most likely die, yes.
Jesus, Devlin.
You scared the hell out of us.
Can you fix it? There is a surgery.
The sooner, the better.
Is the surgery dangerous? Well, the risks are infection, stroke, loss of speech or vision.
- But if it were me - It's not you.
Let's discuss this, okay? I would like to get it on Dr.
White's schedule.
Grace, we'll let you know.
Okay, I'm sorry.
I under Get out! Please leave now! Yeah, mom.
[ Chuckles .]
A couple more days, I think.
Look, I got to go.
Love you.
Hey, I brought you a little, uh, peace offering.
I don't know what is this? Peppermint tea or a latte.
I'll drink whatever one you don't want.
Thank you.
And I'm sorry I yelled.
No.
My God.
You're under a lot of stress.
And I've been told I can come on a little strong.
[ Chuckles .]
[ Chuckles .]
Remember when our basketball team beat Eastside? And the riot broke out? You jumped off your chair and threw it in the mix.
Yeah, and I got punched in the face for it [ Laughs .]
Yeah, and you knocked out the bitch that punched you.
That's right.
[ Chuckles .]
You never took any crap.
[ Clicks tongue .]
Well, what can I say? I'm a sucker for a good cause.
[ Chuckles .]
Look, with Jimmy I need you to let go.
Okay, I just I-I need you to understand We can live with that.
A stroke, going blind It's not worth the risk.
Are you really sure about that? I mean Grace You're someone who defies the odds.
You said you wanted to be a big doctor.
Here you are.
But me and Jimmy we're not like that.
He works construction.
I'm a secretary.
There's a 90% chance that he's gonna be fine.
We're good with that.
You understand what I'm trying to say? You change your mind, you'll call me? Thank you, Grace.
Dr.
Devlin? Do you have a moment? My surgery was a success, but after the heart was reattached Olivia cut the recurrent laryngeal nerve.
My patient will never speak again because of a surgeon's mistake.
Oh, my God.
It should have been you in there.
Well, it wasn't.
I mean, it was your choice.
Not according to the chief of staff.
He's very fond of Olivia.
[ Scoffs .]
Well, with all due respect, I'd rather spend my time practicing medicine than politic and sit on committees.
Good for you.
You're an idealist.
Something wrong with that? When I was your age, there were almost no female heart surgeons.
My residency director suggested I find a nice husband and go into pediatrics.
So how did you do it? There's an old persian saying "He who wants a rose must respect the thorn.
" My father taught me that.
He escaped a revolution to get me into medical school.
So I think it's good advice.
Decide what you want and respect the thorns.
Be bold, Grace.
Nothing bad ever came of that.
Believe me.
Dr.
Baylor, will you excuse me? Mm-hmm.
You're healing up well.
Are you here to take him? Constantine's on his way with your money.
I don't want his money.
I just want my son.
Look, I know what you did.
You think you're ready to be a mother? You think I'm proud of what I did? I know I messed up.
But I just feel like someone has their hand on my heart and they're just squeezing it.
I think I have something that might take your pain away.
A plane ticket? Look, I'm gonna tell Gio's mom that Constantine wants to see you and the baby, but you'll be on your way to the airport instead right now.
[ Sighs .]
I don't know what I could do to thank you.
Look, we're going against Constantine, okay? So as soon as you get on that plane, you can never, ever come back You understand? [ Exhales deeply .]
What's he gonna do to you? We need to get going.
It's a beautiful night, isn't it? I'm surprised you called.
Why is that, Alderman? First you shake me down.
Now you're offering to make a large contribution.
Confused, but I appreciate the change of heart.
Well, I said I had something for you.
Not exactly a contribution, but I think you'll find it interesting.
What's this? Run a DNA test on it.
Do what you got to do.
But you are gonna change your position on the gaming ordinance.
And if I don't? Well, then I'm gonna have a little press conference of my own.
And I'm gonna invite your wife, introduce her To her new stepson.
Go on.
Get out of here.
Go home and kiss your wife.
Hey, Grace.
Hey.
Came to check on Traci, but it looks like I'm a little bit too late.
Are you gonna No.
I'm not gonna say anything.
But you know Constantine will find out.
I got to get back to the hospital.
Do you want a lift? You know, I'm really not a bad guy.
Nothing worked out for either of us the way we thought it would.
I'm pretty okay being a doctor.
[ Scoffs .]
You pretty okay being under Constantine's thumb? Sneaking away from the hospital when you should be on your rounds? Lying to your boyfriend and your family? You know what? [ Voice breaking .]
You're a real jerk.
I'm sorry.
That came out wrong, all right? I didn't mean what I said.
You know what? You don't get to judge me.
When you left, I wrote you off, okay? You don't get to have an opinion about me anymore.
Okay, I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry, all right? I think stop.
I think you're amazing.
What you did with Traci and that baby I-I wish I had half of your guts.
Grace? Hey.
[ Chuckling .]
Hey.
Um I'm I'm Brett.
Franco.
Franco.
From from growing up? He was just giving me a lift.
And, um, I was just gonna go and get changed.
You want to get some dinner? I already ate.
Um but I'll call you later, okay? Okay.
Nice to meet you.
Yeah.
[ Music plays on radio .]
You scream, and you die.
[ Whimpers .]
Now, call your dad on the video chat.
Why? Do what I tell you to do, or I'm gonna shoot you in the face.
Call him up.
Hey, sweetie.
This is a nice surprise.
Hey, you're damn right it is.
