Do No Harm s01e07 Episode Script
Six Feet Deep
1 Previously on Do No Harm I know that you think you love him.
Okay, that scar on your face? That isn't love.
That's possession and rage.
[Glass shattering.]
It's crazy.
It has nothing to do with love.
Are we staying here forever? Just until we find someplace better.
How's Rob? Is it going well? It's only been a couple weeks, so we'll see where it goes.
But I'm happy.
Great.
That all sounds great.
We'll be able to get more catecholamine, seratonin, dopamine levels.
You're not gonna be able to get his spinal fluid without him knowing.
Ian's not a neurosurgeon.
We'll outsmart him.
Hey, don't ever underestimate him.
[Indistinct speech over PA.]
- ERs make me nervous.
- Just focus on the patient.
Things happen fast.
People die.
Well, not if we can help it.
- Thanks for taking this one.
- Yeah, you got it.
All hands on deck, and we have two ambulances coming in.
We've got Theo and Mandy.
All right, we'll take the first ones here.
All right, what do you got? This is Maxim Kozar.
24, two-car MVC.
He's got a crush injury to the head, chest, and abdomen.
- Vitals? - BP's 40 palp.
Rate's in the 140s.
Was an unrestrained driver, head-on collision, about two to three feet of intrusion in the vehicle.
On my go, ready? One, two, three.
All right.
Sue Jean, what do we do? CBC, chem panel, amylase, tox screen, and a VBG.
Very good.
Exam, now, go.
Tube.
Pupils fixed and dilated bilaterally.
All right, let's check the corneal reflex.
No blink.
Muscle tone decreased throughout.
- What does that tell you? - Brain injury's bilateral.
- Prognosis? - Crap.
Doesn't matter.
Everyone gets our "A" game.
Let's CT the head, chest, and abdomen.
Set up for a bolt.
[Ambu bag hissing.]
[Heart monitors beeping.]
Second ambulance arriving.
Doctor, excuse Help me.
Excuse me, sir.
Excuse me, sir! You can't be here.
But my son is here.
I need to know is he okay? They're doing everything they can.
But my son.
[Indistinct chatter.]
Second victim coming in.
What do we got, guys? Phillip Watts, driver of the other car.
GCS 9, shallow resps, systolic in the 90s.
Both IVs blew in the field.
Phil, I'm Dr.
Cole.
Can you hear me? - Yeah.
- One, two, three.
[Grunts.]
Okay.
Mandy? You stay with me.
We stick with Max.
Sue Jean and Theo, primary survey on Phil, get some access.
I can't breathe.
Crank the O2, set up for an airway.
[Groans.]
Okay, that's way too slow.
Like this.
Mr.
Watts.
Mr.
Watts? Mr.
Watts! - He's out.
- Heart sounds are muffled.
- Pressure's dropping.
- Let's run in a liter.
And set up for pericardiocentesis.
What? Muffled heart sounds, dropping pressure, chest trauma.
Good, sue Jean.
Good call.
Go, go.
He's bradying down.
Lost the pulse! [Heart monitor flatlines.]
30 degrees.
All right? With confidence.
Go ahead.
[Exhales.]
Good.
Good, excellent.
- Got a heart rate back.
- Dr.
Cole, he's coding.
I'm coming.
V-tach, no pulse.
Come on, Max.
Stay with me.
Sue Jean.
Sue Jean, come take over for me.
Max! - Max! - Wait outside! What's happened? They're trying to save his life.
What is happening? Charging to 360.
Clear.
[Defibrillator whirs.]
Again.
Clear.
Mg of epi, now.
Amiodarione.
Check the pulse.
[Heart monitor flatlining.]
Another liter.
High-dose epi.
Check it again.
Dr.
Cole, there's nothing.
Damn it.
Check the pulse.
[Panting.]
Dr.
Cole, there's nothing.
[Sighs.]
Okay.
Time of death, 2:27 P.
M.
The father's here.
I'll go talk to him.
Your son arrived with irrevocable head injuries, and despite our best efforts, he stopped breathing.
I I do not understand.
This cannot be happening.
Mr.
Kozar, I'm afraid he didn't make it.
[Exhales weakly.]
He was just with me for breakfast.
You left Max to help the one who crashed into him.
Max was in good hands at all times, I assure you.
That is when he died.
I saw this with my own eyes.
That's not how he died.
I know this is very difficult to understand right now, but we did everything that we could.
I'm very sorry for your loss.
[Cheering.]
He's on fire, ladies and gentlemen.
- He's on fire.
- Here we go.
Seven wins! Seven wins! What is that, five in a row? Let's go.
[Cheering.]
[Cheering.]
Who's turn is it to kiss the dice? Have you kissed the dice? ? - 7, 11! - All right.
Take them to the line! That's what I'm talking about.
Look at this guy.
We got a little bit of a troublemaker over here.
Come on, you're gonna bet against the shooter? You're gonna bet against this shooter? Everybody's lucky tonight but you.
Winner, 11! Winner! Winner! [Cheering.]
All right, let's keep it going.
Come on.
Well, if it isn't the guy that tried to burn my luck.
Here's a little tip for you.
Nobody likes that guy.
[Tires screech.]
Oh, look at that.
You do have friends.
[Grunting, struggling.]
[Grunts.]
[Coughs and groans.]
Big man.
Life of party.
Did you enjoy it? Well, let's see.
I made some money.
I got loaded.
I got laid repeatedly, so, yeah.
Hell yeah, I enjoyed myself.
My son is dead.
Oh.
I see.
We're in mourning.
That explains all the long faces.
Just assumed it was because you were Russian.
[Grunts.]
[Groans.]
When Max died, you looked me in the eye and lied.
Let me guess, and I'm getting pretty good at this, the hospital? Yes, doctor.
Well, you see, there you go.
You got the wrong guy.
God, that never gets old.
Look, I know you think I'm being insensitive, but the truth is I just can't help myself.
[Grunts.]
[Grunts.]
[Groans.]
It is your fault Max died.
Well, let me let you in on a little secret, okay? I'm not some regular doctor.
If I couldn't save your kid, then your kid couldn't be saved.
This is what you said.
You also said Max's death was painful loss, yet you do not suffer.
Hey, I suffer.
This is how I suffer.
Drugs, and booze, and sex.
It's how I cover the hurt.
I'm really a tragedy if you think about it.
[Choking.]
You lied to me.
About Max, about everything.
It is for Max we kill you now.
[Grunts.]
[Gun clicks empty.]

[Exhales.]
[Groans.]
[Phone unlocks.]
Jason, Jason, Jason.
What am I gonna do with you? You know, we almost ended up six feet deep tonight because of you? Because of your mess.
[Coughs.]
I'll tell you what.
I'm gonna fix it for you tonight, just so you'll owe me.
[Laughs.]
[Groans.]
- Hey, dad.
- Morning, Ray.
Your hair looks like crap.
Really? I think it's cool.
Can you get me some juice? You can get it yourself.
[Sighs.]
Look at that, all by myself.
Cut me some slack every once in a while.
I'm always here when there's something you actually need.
You coming to my recital tonight? I'll try.
- Right.
- Sorry, I'm on call.
Yeah, I know.
You know what? I'll be there.
Okay? I'll find a way.
- Really? - Yeah.
[Horn honks.]
Oh, time to go.
Get your stuff.
- Uh, backpack? - Where it always is.
You know I'm proud of you, right? Just feel it, dad.
Don't say it.
Right.
[Walking cane rattles.]
I'll see you tonight.
[Groaning.]
Jason.
Kenneth.
Look, I fell out of bed, okay? Yeah, try again, I think you used that one before.
Look, is there something that you need? I need someone to cover my on-call tonight.
It's just for a few hours.
I don't work nights.
You know that.
I know you think I'm a jerk every time I say it, but it's actually true.
It's for my son.
He has a recital.
That's right.
He plays the piano.
You told me.
Did you try Morton over at TJ, or Fanning? Everyone, all right? I've tried everyone.
Unfortunately, there's only you.
Will you do it? I'm sorry.
I can't do it.
Yeah, I know, what was I thinking? I'm sure your fight club would miss you.
Ruben.
It's weird to hear your voice while I'm staring at your neurotransmitters.
- Look at this.
- Ow.
I'm guessing that happened to Ian? Yeah, he's saying it's because of me.
I have no idea what happened, but, apparently, it's my fault.
I'm not sure you should believe a morally ambiguous brain anomaly.
You're right.
I guess he was out at the casinos partying all week.
Of course he's going to get into trouble.
I just wish I knew what.
Look, we have to get serious about this.
We have to get Ian's spinal fluid.
We're at a standstill without it.
Well, I'm open to ideas.
All right, we know he has to be conscious, right? Yeah.
And he can't know what we're doing.
- Right.
- So we hire some guys.
They follow him, they jump him, they mug him, and through the violence, he doesn't notice when we stab him in the back of the neck and draw his spinal fluid.
So I get beat up again, but this time, with an unsterile lumbar puncture by a bunch of street thugs? - Is that a no? - Yeah, that's a no.
[Groans.]
I gotta figure out what kind of trouble I'm in.
Ian would be gone by now if Olivia had done what you told her to.
Hey, come on, don't blame her, all right? It's complicated.
She did what she could.
You're learning from a pro, you know? I used to play ball in high school.
I was a left fielder.
I even had a nickname.
Do you wanna know what it was? It was "The Glock," 'cause I could throw far and fast.
It's all right.
I'll get it.
[Exhales.]
And your mama has a gun, and you do too.
You take after me.
Hey.
Hey, you're doing that on purpose.
What's up? I wanna play ball with my daddy.
[Indistinct speech over PA.]
Hi.
I'm Dr.
Cole.
Glad to see your eyes are open.
How are you feeling? - I've been better.
- Yeah, I'll bet.
That was a pretty serious accident you were in.
Well, it looks like you were in one too.
Yeah.
My son has a sense of humor.
Well, that's good.
It means you're gonna recover faster.
I'm just glad I'm not dead.
The car that hit Phil crossed the center line.
They hit head-on.
Well, the impact caused some severe bleeding around your heart and your spleen, but we relieved the pressure, and you should make a full recovery.
Well, what about the other guy? I'm afraid he wasn't as lucky.
So you just had an ultrasound last week? Yeah, but it was inconclusive.
That's why they referred us here.
But that's good, right, if my doctor couldn't find anything wrong? Well, elevated AFP only suggests the probability of a congenital defect.
It's not a diagnosis.
So, it's possible everything's fine? Yeah, it's possible.
We have the most advanced equipment here, and we'll be able to see everything we need, so you just relax.
Do you have children? No, not yet, but I'm looking forward to it.
Well, you should do it now while you can still enjoy the trying.
'Cause once you reach 40, it's between you and science.
Sorry, honey.
[Laughs.]
No, it's the truth.
And there is your boy.
He just kicked.
Did you see that? [Beeping.]
We did good.
[Keys tapping.]
What's wrong? [Device beeps.]
[Knocks on window.]
- Hey, Jas? - Hey.
Do you have time for a consult? Yeah, sure.
What do you got? Whoa.
What happened to your face? Oh, I think I got in a fight.
- You think? - Yeah, I mean, I did.
I got into a fight.
Let me guess, because you are so charming.
Yeah, something like that.
Mmhmm.
I've met that side of you.
Actually wanted to hit you myself, in fact.
Well, you should, next time you see it, absolutely.
- Do you have a concussion? - I don't think so.
- Memory loss? No.
- Lena, I'm not the patient.
What do you got? [Exhales.]
Patient Nadia Cross.
Fetus is 25 weeks old, tested positive for elevated AFP, and I identified a neural tube defect.
Myelomeningocele.
Yeah, is the fetus a good candidate for surgery? Yeah, excellent, actually.
[Knock at door.]
Lena, this is the gentleman who lost his son yesterday.
I should deal with this.
I'll come see you after.
Mr.
Kozar.
Hello.
Hello, and Jason, get that head examined.
Will do.
The woman make sense.
Yeah.
Well please, come in.
How are you holding up today, Mr.
Kozar? You did not do all that you said.
Mr.
Kozar, I assure you, we did everything we possibly could for your son.
It is not for my son that I am here.
Uh, I'm sorry.
I don't I'm not following you.
Did we hit you so hard you have forgotten? You did this to me? Maybe you are liar, talking this way and that to get out of trouble, but I do not lie.
I will kill you unless you do as you promised.
What did I promise? Phil Watts, the boy who crashed into my son, you traded your life for his, so, now, you will kill him today.
Hey.
You know you're the best thing I ever did.
And we're a team, you and me, and even though some families are bigger than ours, that doesn't make them any better.
I have a daddy? Uh, yeah, yeah.
I can tell you some things about him, if you want.
Like what? Like the best thing about him is that he cares about people.
He saves lives.
Like Superman? Maybe more like the Hulk, because he has two sides, the good and the bad.
Hulk's not bad.
No, no, no, you're right.
The Hulk is not bad, but he hurts people sometimes, doesn't he? Even people that he loves, and that's why I had to leave your daddy.
I'm bad sometimes.
Are you gonna leave me? No.
No, no, honey, no.
Listen to me.
I am never going to leave you.
Never, no matter what.
It's just you and me, okay? And everybody does something bad sometimes.
So, let me get this straight.
You promised to kill one of my patients to save your life? To save my life? Ian, there is no way I'm going to let you or Kozar anywhere near this patient, do you understand me? I'm gonna take care of it myself.
So, Kozar is Russian Bratva? He runs organized crime in Philly.
We've been trying to pin something on him for years.
- So have the Feds.
- Oh, God.
This just gets better and better Kozar's son was driving drunk when he hit Phil Watts.
He's looking for someone to blame.
How do we protect Jason? Well, how do we protect my patient? For starters, we'll launch a formal investigation, question Kozar Can't you just arrest him? Your word against his isn't enough, and we can't prosecute without evidence.
Yeah, but this thing's gonna happen today or tonight.
I mean, can we do anything right now? I'm going to assign Joe outside Watts' room.
If Kozar wants to make an attempt, we'll arrest him for it, gladly, but the sad truth is he's gonna find someone else to do his dirty work.
We'll talk to Mr.
Watts, apprise him of the situation.
Great, thanks, guys, for coming out.
Thanks.
Jason.
Wanna take some time off, get out of town? There's no reason for us to take chances here.
I don't know.
[Knocks at door.]
Jason, they've been waiting.
I've got patients.
I'm not leaving.
I know it may not seem like it, but you do have options.
Just yesterday, it was about which name we liked better, Matt or Eric, and, now.
Dr.
Cole is a neurosurgeon.
He is one of the best.
Why do we need a surgeon? Our baby isn't even born yet.
Well, you have the option of a surgical intervention in utero.
By closing your baby's spine, that's gonna give him the best chance at walking.
But his No, his legs are fine.
We just saw him kicking on the ultrasound.
Yeah, and that's great, but now is the time to intervene before any actual damage is done.
But well, what are the risks? For you? Same as any other surgery.
What about the baby? Well, there is a risk that you could miscarry, but it's very small.
Then, no.
No, I'm sorry, we can't.
The risks inherent to your child's condition will only get worse over time.
Surgery is not an option.
It's ridiculous I can't take four hours off at night when I need to? I can't hire you an additional attending.
My budget's in the red this quarter.
I work every day.
I'm the only neurosurgeon on call at night.
I'd take it up with the chief of my department, but, you know, he's the reason it's happening.
You're coming up for a performance evaluation next month, and this is what I can do.
I can see that you get the highest raise I'm authorized to allow.
[Sighs.]
Well, you've certainly earned it.
It's not about the money.
My schedule is causing me to make sacrifices that I should not be making.
It's my son.
But Ken, this is what we do.
We all make sacrifices.
And we all make concessions? For your daughter, for Jason? You've never made a single one for me.
It's all I'm asking.
[Exhales.]
I'll see what I can do.
[Exhales.]
If you can't do anything, then I'll have no choice.
I'll have to leave I.
M.
H.
[Sighs.]
I just thought when they heard what it could do for their son, they would choose the surgery.
I know.
I would do everything I could to help my child, whatever it took.
Thank you.
I'd choose the surgery too, but it's not our decision.
[Exhales.]
Yeah.
Will you excuse me one second? I'll check back with you.
Hi.
Where's Joe? - Family emergency.
- What happened? - Are you two dating? - Excuse me? She's a good-looking woman, Lena Solis.
27 South 18th Street, Number 402? - Uh, I'm sorry? - Last shift's at four.
- Home by five.
- Listen.
Someone dies tonight.
Watts, you, your girlfriend.
- You choose.
- Hey.
Hey! Get security on the line and call Captain Demming over at the fourth district right now right now! Dr.
Cole! What's going on? Well, I'm gonna transfer you out of here right now.
Why? Well, I'm afraid you're not safe here.
Look at me.
I thought the police were protecting me.
I did too, but circumstances have changed, so I'm gonna get you out of here.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, what makes you think I'll be safe someplace else? Well, I'm just gonna buy us a little time, okay? Well, for what? Till I can think of something a little more permanent.
So you've got no plan.
I'm not gonna let anything happen to you, all right, Phil? Dr.
Cole, stop! You think I don't know how this works? I was born and raised in Philly.
If these guys wanna find me, they'll find me, no matter where I am, and they won't stop until I'm dead.
Ruben.
Hey, I need you to do something for me.
What can I do you for? I have to kill a patient.
This is insane.
- You're insane.
- Ruben, just give it to me, okay? It's a highly concentrated cocktail of cardioactive drugs.
Have you ever used one of these before? Do you have any idea how strong this is? All right, well, tell me how to use it, okay? Ruben, I'm begging you.
I have no other options.
Please, tell me.
You push it into his iv.
His heart rate will slow to a whisper below detectable instrument levels.
You'll have maybe seven minutes tops to revive him.
Okay, and after that? And then, after that, he'll actually be dead.
[Exhales.]
Okay.
So once he flatlines, I stage the scene.
I get him the hell out of there as fast as I can, right? I only got a few minutes.
That's not a lot of time.
That's because this is not a good idea.
If I don't this now, then Ian will, or Kozar, and now, they've threatened Lena.
Okay? This is my only shot.
I need everyone to believe he's dead, Kozar, the entire hospital.
Fine.
Go kill the guy.
Thanks.
Lena.
Hey, you okay? - Yeah, why? - Oh, nothing.
I just I was looking all over for you.
What are you doing tonight? Well, I failed to convince my fetal patient to have surgery, so, after I'm done discharging her, I will be going home to drink it off.
Okay, well, don't leave.
Why not? I just I don't think you should give up on your fetal patient.
Jason, I'm out of ideas.
Well, you just need to show them something that they're not seeing, you know? Give them something to relate to.
Well, I guess I can try talking to them again.
Yeah, try, all right? It's worth it.
I've got one more thing to do, and then, I'll come find you, all right? But don't leave without checking in with me, okay? - Okay.
- Thanks.
You ready? This is it? This is it.
I'm scared.
Don't be, okay? It's just like we talked about.
You're gonna fall asleep, and in a few minutes, I am gonna wake you up.
That's it.
Everything's gonna be fine.
Here we go.
Just breathe.
Come on.
Breathe.
Just breathe.
[Heart monitor beeping.]
[Heart monitor flatlining.]
[Alarm sounds.]
[Over PA.]
Trauma team, code blue.
Trauma team, code blue.
Where the hell have you been? He's been coding for 20 minutes! What are you talking about? We just got the code.
I've got it.
Well, why didn't you come get someone? Because I'm trying to save the patient.
Is that okay? Dr.
Cole.
Dr.
Cole.
What? If it's really been over 20 minutes, you need to call it.
Time of death, 4:37 P.
M.
- Who are you calling? - The morgue.
Just put the phone down, all right? I'll do it myself like everything else I've done today.
Jason, I don't know what happened with the code, but I think you're overreacting.
All right.
Sue Jean, I've got it.
Just start the paper work.
- Ruben.
- How's the patient? I don't know, not dead yet.
You had seven minutes.
How long before he's actually dead? Maybe three, tops? Jason, three minutes isn't enough time.
I know.
We're gonna have to start here.
- In the elevator? - Yeah.
Going down? [Elevator dings.]
Is that accent Russian? I have cousin who works in hospital.
He is orderly.
It is orderly who takes body to morgue, yes? Under normal circumstances, yes, which this is not.
It was orderly who took Max to morgue.
Max is my dead son.
Dr.
Cole did not save him.
I'm sorry.
Dr.
Cole saved this one instead.
Hey, hey.
Come on.
Now, he is dead too.
Eye for an eye.
And no one else has to die, right? That was our deal.
You have my word.
You made good on your promise.
You do not lie.
I believe you now, doctor, about my son.
You did everything you could, yes? I did, I swear.
[Elevator doors slide open.]
If there is ever anything I can do for you, you call.
Okay, here we go.
Ruben, here.
Take this.
No, I'm just a cheerleader here.
So, I give him the meds.
You're gonna breathe for him.
No, I've never done this before.
It's okay.
It's easy.
All you gotta do is squeeze and count to six.
Go ahead.
Here we go.
Amp of epi.
Go, Ruben.
One, two, three, four, five.
One, two, three, four, five.
Now, wait, wait, wait.
Not so fast.
Ruben, it's a waltz, not a tango.
Yeah, I only know how to merengue.
The tempo is faster.
Why isn't this working? Wait, like this, like this.
Press it soft like this.
Ready? One, two, three, four, five, six squeeze.
Two, three Good, all right.
Another amp of epi.
One, two, three, four, five.
Two, three, four, five.
Damn it! I'm an accessory to murder.
[Heart monitor flatlining.]
No, you're not.
It's gonna be fine.
Another amp of atro.
Just keep going.
One, two, three, four.
Don't do this.
Come on! One, two, three, four, five.
[Heart monitor beeping.]
Okay, we got a pulse.
Oh, God, we got a pulse.
Yeah, I don't know what you were worried about.
That was real easy.
Yeah, we're not done yet.
Come on.
[Grunts.]
Thank you for doing this.
You're my last hope.
Then I feel sorry for you.
- Knock, knock.
- No, no more doctors.
Please, just release her.
Listen, I know how you feel, but before we discharge you, I want you to meet Dr.
Jordan.
I just want to go home.
No doctor can tell you what to do for your child.
I wouldn't trust them for a second, but a parent of a child with a disability? Maybe I'd hear me out.
I love my son.
I love him completely.
But if there was anything I could do to make his life easier and take away his disability, I would do it.
I would do it in a heartbeat.
Our son does not have a life-threatening condition.
I am not willing to risk his life just to make him more normal.
Brain damage? Paralysis? These things are life-altering, and complications can develop from them over the course of your pregnancy that are life-threatening, but you are in a hospital right now with excellent surgeons who can intervene and stop the course of damage to your son.
You're a surgeon.
Of course you're gonna advocate for surgery.
It's not in my best interest to do that right now, Mr.
Cross.
See, if I stay and perform the surgery for your son tonight, then I won't be able to be with mine for something that's very important to him.
Why would you do that? He's resilient and perfectly capable of taking care of himself, but your son may never be able to.
I believe we can change that.
- Mr.
Watts.
- Doctor.
Dad.
Dr.
Cole.
Yeah, it's me, Phil.
I'm here.
Did it work? Well, you're talking to me, so, yeah, it did work.
- You did it.
- We did it.
We did it.
No one will be looking for you now.
Thank you for helping my son.
You got it.
Let's get him somewhere safe where he can recover.
Let me know how he's doing, all right? - I will.
- I owe you guys.
You got it.
Now, that's how to kill a guy.
[Sighs.]
Will someone let my husband know that I'm okay? Of course, and he'll be waiting for you in post-op when you wake up.
[Equipment beeping.]
What's going on? We Haven't even started yet! Fetus is having decels.
- He's bradycardic.
- What's happening? Your baby's in distress.
Fetal stim? - Oh, is that gonna hurt him? - No, no, no, no.
We're just trying to wake him up a little bit.
[Beeping.]
No improvement.
Try again.
- Heart rate is dropping.
- What's happening? Could be structural.
Heart, lungs.
- Or hydrops.
- What's happening? Peak velocity in MCA is down.
What does that mean? The baby needs a transfusion right now.
God, am I losing him? We're gonna do everything we can.
- Did I wait too long? - Just hang in there.
Just save him.
Just save my baby.
Okay.
- Is this my fault? - Where are my packed cells? Give me a steady image of the cord.
Got it.
One shot at glory.
Inside the abdominal wall.
Amniotic fluid.
Get this into the umbilical vein and into our little boy blue.
And then, we can proceed with the surgery as planned.
Pushing 20ccs packed cells.
Okay.
Transfusion complete.
Heart rate's normal.
Baby's movement looks excellent.
[Exhales.]
Okay, now that we're on our toes, I'm gonna step out and scrub.
[Cello playing.]
Ray, you're next.
Have you seen my dad? No, sorry.
I don't need your help.
- I know you don't.
- You can't do the surgery.
It's past 6:00.
Well, then you should get out of here.
Let me get started.
You saved that kid's life, all right? Go be with yours.
What about the on call? I got an idea.
- I can be back in at 10:00.
I don't need you to be.
Honestly.
Go.
You're clear for surgery, doctor.
Your hair looks like crap.
Knock 'em dead.
[Chopin's Nocturne in E Flat Major Opis 9 playing.]
Okay, kiddo.
Time for bed.
What do you got there? It's baseball, me, and daddy And I want him to know me.
Now, listen.
I think we have been at the lake long enough, don't you? I think we should go home.
Then, you can give your picture to your daddy.
I get to see daddy? You get to see daddy.
[applause.]
Sue Jean.
You were really impressive today.
- You're kidding, right? - No, I'm not.
You were fantastic.
What happened to Watts? [Sighs.]
He took a turn for the worst.
It happens sometimes.
But he was doing great.
I mean, there's no reason he should have up and died like that, and then the code.
How could we just miss it? You didn't miss anything, all right? I promise.
You're a good doctor.
That's why I want you on call tonight.
- Really? - Really.
Grab a pager.
Welcome to the big leagues.
[Exhales.]
[Sighs.]
I'm on call.
Lena.
Lena! - Hey.
- Hey, what happened? I thought you were gonna check in with me before you left.
I didn't think I needed to.
We did it.
Yeah, we did, didn't we? - That was - It was miraculous.
Yeah.
Well, I'm glad you were there.
Me too.
You still gonna get that drink? With Rob.
Right, yeah, of course.
It's well, tell him I said hi.
- I gotta - Right.
Don't get into any more fights, okay? Okay.
Hey, Lena? I'm too late, aren't I? I can't wait for you, Jason.
Hi, it's Dr.
Cole.
Maybe there is something you can do for me.
[Cheers and applause.]
Eight, winner! [Cheers and applause.]
All right, let's go again.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Stay lucky.
[Cheering.]
Yeah! Oh, you're kidding.
[Grunts.]
[Tires screech.]
[Groans.]
Yes? This is from Dr.
Cole.
- What is it? - Spinal fluid.
Corrections by dcdah
Okay, that scar on your face? That isn't love.
That's possession and rage.
[Glass shattering.]
It's crazy.
It has nothing to do with love.
Are we staying here forever? Just until we find someplace better.
How's Rob? Is it going well? It's only been a couple weeks, so we'll see where it goes.
But I'm happy.
Great.
That all sounds great.
We'll be able to get more catecholamine, seratonin, dopamine levels.
You're not gonna be able to get his spinal fluid without him knowing.
Ian's not a neurosurgeon.
We'll outsmart him.
Hey, don't ever underestimate him.
[Indistinct speech over PA.]
- ERs make me nervous.
- Just focus on the patient.
Things happen fast.
People die.
Well, not if we can help it.
- Thanks for taking this one.
- Yeah, you got it.
All hands on deck, and we have two ambulances coming in.
We've got Theo and Mandy.
All right, we'll take the first ones here.
All right, what do you got? This is Maxim Kozar.
24, two-car MVC.
He's got a crush injury to the head, chest, and abdomen.
- Vitals? - BP's 40 palp.
Rate's in the 140s.
Was an unrestrained driver, head-on collision, about two to three feet of intrusion in the vehicle.
On my go, ready? One, two, three.
All right.
Sue Jean, what do we do? CBC, chem panel, amylase, tox screen, and a VBG.
Very good.
Exam, now, go.
Tube.
Pupils fixed and dilated bilaterally.
All right, let's check the corneal reflex.
No blink.
Muscle tone decreased throughout.
- What does that tell you? - Brain injury's bilateral.
- Prognosis? - Crap.
Doesn't matter.
Everyone gets our "A" game.
Let's CT the head, chest, and abdomen.
Set up for a bolt.
[Ambu bag hissing.]
[Heart monitors beeping.]
Second ambulance arriving.
Doctor, excuse Help me.
Excuse me, sir.
Excuse me, sir! You can't be here.
But my son is here.
I need to know is he okay? They're doing everything they can.
But my son.
[Indistinct chatter.]
Second victim coming in.
What do we got, guys? Phillip Watts, driver of the other car.
GCS 9, shallow resps, systolic in the 90s.
Both IVs blew in the field.
Phil, I'm Dr.
Cole.
Can you hear me? - Yeah.
- One, two, three.
[Grunts.]
Okay.
Mandy? You stay with me.
We stick with Max.
Sue Jean and Theo, primary survey on Phil, get some access.
I can't breathe.
Crank the O2, set up for an airway.
[Groans.]
Okay, that's way too slow.
Like this.
Mr.
Watts.
Mr.
Watts? Mr.
Watts! - He's out.
- Heart sounds are muffled.
- Pressure's dropping.
- Let's run in a liter.
And set up for pericardiocentesis.
What? Muffled heart sounds, dropping pressure, chest trauma.
Good, sue Jean.
Good call.
Go, go.
He's bradying down.
Lost the pulse! [Heart monitor flatlines.]
30 degrees.
All right? With confidence.
Go ahead.
[Exhales.]
Good.
Good, excellent.
- Got a heart rate back.
- Dr.
Cole, he's coding.
I'm coming.
V-tach, no pulse.
Come on, Max.
Stay with me.
Sue Jean.
Sue Jean, come take over for me.
Max! - Max! - Wait outside! What's happened? They're trying to save his life.
What is happening? Charging to 360.
Clear.
[Defibrillator whirs.]
Again.
Clear.
Mg of epi, now.
Amiodarione.
Check the pulse.
[Heart monitor flatlining.]
Another liter.
High-dose epi.
Check it again.
Dr.
Cole, there's nothing.
Damn it.
Check the pulse.
[Panting.]
Dr.
Cole, there's nothing.
[Sighs.]
Okay.
Time of death, 2:27 P.
M.
The father's here.
I'll go talk to him.
Your son arrived with irrevocable head injuries, and despite our best efforts, he stopped breathing.
I I do not understand.
This cannot be happening.
Mr.
Kozar, I'm afraid he didn't make it.
[Exhales weakly.]
He was just with me for breakfast.
You left Max to help the one who crashed into him.
Max was in good hands at all times, I assure you.
That is when he died.
I saw this with my own eyes.
That's not how he died.
I know this is very difficult to understand right now, but we did everything that we could.
I'm very sorry for your loss.
[Cheering.]
He's on fire, ladies and gentlemen.
- He's on fire.
- Here we go.
Seven wins! Seven wins! What is that, five in a row? Let's go.
[Cheering.]
[Cheering.]
Who's turn is it to kiss the dice? Have you kissed the dice? ? - 7, 11! - All right.
Take them to the line! That's what I'm talking about.
Look at this guy.
We got a little bit of a troublemaker over here.
Come on, you're gonna bet against the shooter? You're gonna bet against this shooter? Everybody's lucky tonight but you.
Winner, 11! Winner! Winner! [Cheering.]
All right, let's keep it going.
Come on.
Well, if it isn't the guy that tried to burn my luck.
Here's a little tip for you.
Nobody likes that guy.
[Tires screech.]
Oh, look at that.
You do have friends.
[Grunting, struggling.]
[Grunts.]
[Coughs and groans.]
Big man.
Life of party.
Did you enjoy it? Well, let's see.
I made some money.
I got loaded.
I got laid repeatedly, so, yeah.
Hell yeah, I enjoyed myself.
My son is dead.
Oh.
I see.
We're in mourning.
That explains all the long faces.
Just assumed it was because you were Russian.
[Grunts.]
[Groans.]
When Max died, you looked me in the eye and lied.
Let me guess, and I'm getting pretty good at this, the hospital? Yes, doctor.
Well, you see, there you go.
You got the wrong guy.
God, that never gets old.
Look, I know you think I'm being insensitive, but the truth is I just can't help myself.
[Grunts.]
[Grunts.]
[Groans.]
It is your fault Max died.
Well, let me let you in on a little secret, okay? I'm not some regular doctor.
If I couldn't save your kid, then your kid couldn't be saved.
This is what you said.
You also said Max's death was painful loss, yet you do not suffer.
Hey, I suffer.
This is how I suffer.
Drugs, and booze, and sex.
It's how I cover the hurt.
I'm really a tragedy if you think about it.
[Choking.]
You lied to me.
About Max, about everything.
It is for Max we kill you now.
[Grunts.]
[Gun clicks empty.]
Do No Harm Six Feet Deep Corrections by dcdah [Groaning.]
[Exhales.]
[Groans.]
[Phone unlocks.]
Jason, Jason, Jason.
What am I gonna do with you? You know, we almost ended up six feet deep tonight because of you? Because of your mess.
[Coughs.]
I'll tell you what.
I'm gonna fix it for you tonight, just so you'll owe me.
[Laughs.]
[Groans.]
- Hey, dad.
- Morning, Ray.
Your hair looks like crap.
Really? I think it's cool.
Can you get me some juice? You can get it yourself.
[Sighs.]
Look at that, all by myself.
Cut me some slack every once in a while.
I'm always here when there's something you actually need.
You coming to my recital tonight? I'll try.
- Right.
- Sorry, I'm on call.
Yeah, I know.
You know what? I'll be there.
Okay? I'll find a way.
- Really? - Yeah.
[Horn honks.]
Oh, time to go.
Get your stuff.
- Uh, backpack? - Where it always is.
You know I'm proud of you, right? Just feel it, dad.
Don't say it.
Right.
[Walking cane rattles.]
I'll see you tonight.
[Groaning.]
Jason.
Kenneth.
Look, I fell out of bed, okay? Yeah, try again, I think you used that one before.
Look, is there something that you need? I need someone to cover my on-call tonight.
It's just for a few hours.
I don't work nights.
You know that.
I know you think I'm a jerk every time I say it, but it's actually true.
It's for my son.
He has a recital.
That's right.
He plays the piano.
You told me.
Did you try Morton over at TJ, or Fanning? Everyone, all right? I've tried everyone.
Unfortunately, there's only you.
Will you do it? I'm sorry.
I can't do it.
Yeah, I know, what was I thinking? I'm sure your fight club would miss you.
Ruben.
It's weird to hear your voice while I'm staring at your neurotransmitters.
- Look at this.
- Ow.
I'm guessing that happened to Ian? Yeah, he's saying it's because of me.
I have no idea what happened, but, apparently, it's my fault.
I'm not sure you should believe a morally ambiguous brain anomaly.
You're right.
I guess he was out at the casinos partying all week.
Of course he's going to get into trouble.
I just wish I knew what.
Look, we have to get serious about this.
We have to get Ian's spinal fluid.
We're at a standstill without it.
Well, I'm open to ideas.
All right, we know he has to be conscious, right? Yeah.
And he can't know what we're doing.
- Right.
- So we hire some guys.
They follow him, they jump him, they mug him, and through the violence, he doesn't notice when we stab him in the back of the neck and draw his spinal fluid.
So I get beat up again, but this time, with an unsterile lumbar puncture by a bunch of street thugs? - Is that a no? - Yeah, that's a no.
[Groans.]
I gotta figure out what kind of trouble I'm in.
Ian would be gone by now if Olivia had done what you told her to.
Hey, come on, don't blame her, all right? It's complicated.
She did what she could.
You're learning from a pro, you know? I used to play ball in high school.
I was a left fielder.
I even had a nickname.
Do you wanna know what it was? It was "The Glock," 'cause I could throw far and fast.
It's all right.
I'll get it.
[Exhales.]
And your mama has a gun, and you do too.
You take after me.
Hey.
Hey, you're doing that on purpose.
What's up? I wanna play ball with my daddy.
[Indistinct speech over PA.]
Hi.
I'm Dr.
Cole.
Glad to see your eyes are open.
How are you feeling? - I've been better.
- Yeah, I'll bet.
That was a pretty serious accident you were in.
Well, it looks like you were in one too.
Yeah.
My son has a sense of humor.
Well, that's good.
It means you're gonna recover faster.
I'm just glad I'm not dead.
The car that hit Phil crossed the center line.
They hit head-on.
Well, the impact caused some severe bleeding around your heart and your spleen, but we relieved the pressure, and you should make a full recovery.
Well, what about the other guy? I'm afraid he wasn't as lucky.
So you just had an ultrasound last week? Yeah, but it was inconclusive.
That's why they referred us here.
But that's good, right, if my doctor couldn't find anything wrong? Well, elevated AFP only suggests the probability of a congenital defect.
It's not a diagnosis.
So, it's possible everything's fine? Yeah, it's possible.
We have the most advanced equipment here, and we'll be able to see everything we need, so you just relax.
Do you have children? No, not yet, but I'm looking forward to it.
Well, you should do it now while you can still enjoy the trying.
'Cause once you reach 40, it's between you and science.
Sorry, honey.
[Laughs.]
No, it's the truth.
And there is your boy.
He just kicked.
Did you see that? [Beeping.]
We did good.
[Keys tapping.]
What's wrong? [Device beeps.]
[Knocks on window.]
- Hey, Jas? - Hey.
Do you have time for a consult? Yeah, sure.
What do you got? Whoa.
What happened to your face? Oh, I think I got in a fight.
- You think? - Yeah, I mean, I did.
I got into a fight.
Let me guess, because you are so charming.
Yeah, something like that.
Mmhmm.
I've met that side of you.
Actually wanted to hit you myself, in fact.
Well, you should, next time you see it, absolutely.
- Do you have a concussion? - I don't think so.
- Memory loss? No.
- Lena, I'm not the patient.
What do you got? [Exhales.]
Patient Nadia Cross.
Fetus is 25 weeks old, tested positive for elevated AFP, and I identified a neural tube defect.
Myelomeningocele.
Yeah, is the fetus a good candidate for surgery? Yeah, excellent, actually.
[Knock at door.]
Lena, this is the gentleman who lost his son yesterday.
I should deal with this.
I'll come see you after.
Mr.
Kozar.
Hello.
Hello, and Jason, get that head examined.
Will do.
The woman make sense.
Yeah.
Well please, come in.
How are you holding up today, Mr.
Kozar? You did not do all that you said.
Mr.
Kozar, I assure you, we did everything we possibly could for your son.
It is not for my son that I am here.
Uh, I'm sorry.
I don't I'm not following you.
Did we hit you so hard you have forgotten? You did this to me? Maybe you are liar, talking this way and that to get out of trouble, but I do not lie.
I will kill you unless you do as you promised.
What did I promise? Phil Watts, the boy who crashed into my son, you traded your life for his, so, now, you will kill him today.
Hey.
You know you're the best thing I ever did.
And we're a team, you and me, and even though some families are bigger than ours, that doesn't make them any better.
I have a daddy? Uh, yeah, yeah.
I can tell you some things about him, if you want.
Like what? Like the best thing about him is that he cares about people.
He saves lives.
Like Superman? Maybe more like the Hulk, because he has two sides, the good and the bad.
Hulk's not bad.
No, no, no, you're right.
The Hulk is not bad, but he hurts people sometimes, doesn't he? Even people that he loves, and that's why I had to leave your daddy.
I'm bad sometimes.
Are you gonna leave me? No.
No, no, honey, no.
Listen to me.
I am never going to leave you.
Never, no matter what.
It's just you and me, okay? And everybody does something bad sometimes.
So, let me get this straight.
You promised to kill one of my patients to save your life? To save my life? Ian, there is no way I'm going to let you or Kozar anywhere near this patient, do you understand me? I'm gonna take care of it myself.
So, Kozar is Russian Bratva? He runs organized crime in Philly.
We've been trying to pin something on him for years.
- So have the Feds.
- Oh, God.
This just gets better and better Kozar's son was driving drunk when he hit Phil Watts.
He's looking for someone to blame.
How do we protect Jason? Well, how do we protect my patient? For starters, we'll launch a formal investigation, question Kozar Can't you just arrest him? Your word against his isn't enough, and we can't prosecute without evidence.
Yeah, but this thing's gonna happen today or tonight.
I mean, can we do anything right now? I'm going to assign Joe outside Watts' room.
If Kozar wants to make an attempt, we'll arrest him for it, gladly, but the sad truth is he's gonna find someone else to do his dirty work.
We'll talk to Mr.
Watts, apprise him of the situation.
Great, thanks, guys, for coming out.
Thanks.
Jason.
Wanna take some time off, get out of town? There's no reason for us to take chances here.
I don't know.
[Knocks at door.]
Jason, they've been waiting.
I've got patients.
I'm not leaving.
I know it may not seem like it, but you do have options.
Just yesterday, it was about which name we liked better, Matt or Eric, and, now.
Dr.
Cole is a neurosurgeon.
He is one of the best.
Why do we need a surgeon? Our baby isn't even born yet.
Well, you have the option of a surgical intervention in utero.
By closing your baby's spine, that's gonna give him the best chance at walking.
But his No, his legs are fine.
We just saw him kicking on the ultrasound.
Yeah, and that's great, but now is the time to intervene before any actual damage is done.
But well, what are the risks? For you? Same as any other surgery.
What about the baby? Well, there is a risk that you could miscarry, but it's very small.
Then, no.
No, I'm sorry, we can't.
The risks inherent to your child's condition will only get worse over time.
Surgery is not an option.
It's ridiculous I can't take four hours off at night when I need to? I can't hire you an additional attending.
My budget's in the red this quarter.
I work every day.
I'm the only neurosurgeon on call at night.
I'd take it up with the chief of my department, but, you know, he's the reason it's happening.
You're coming up for a performance evaluation next month, and this is what I can do.
I can see that you get the highest raise I'm authorized to allow.
[Sighs.]
Well, you've certainly earned it.
It's not about the money.
My schedule is causing me to make sacrifices that I should not be making.
It's my son.
But Ken, this is what we do.
We all make sacrifices.
And we all make concessions? For your daughter, for Jason? You've never made a single one for me.
It's all I'm asking.
[Exhales.]
I'll see what I can do.
[Exhales.]
If you can't do anything, then I'll have no choice.
I'll have to leave I.
M.
H.
[Sighs.]
I just thought when they heard what it could do for their son, they would choose the surgery.
I know.
I would do everything I could to help my child, whatever it took.
Thank you.
I'd choose the surgery too, but it's not our decision.
[Exhales.]
Yeah.
Will you excuse me one second? I'll check back with you.
Hi.
Where's Joe? - Family emergency.
- What happened? - Are you two dating? - Excuse me? She's a good-looking woman, Lena Solis.
27 South 18th Street, Number 402? - Uh, I'm sorry? - Last shift's at four.
- Home by five.
- Listen.
Someone dies tonight.
Watts, you, your girlfriend.
- You choose.
- Hey.
Hey! Get security on the line and call Captain Demming over at the fourth district right now right now! Dr.
Cole! What's going on? Well, I'm gonna transfer you out of here right now.
Why? Well, I'm afraid you're not safe here.
Look at me.
I thought the police were protecting me.
I did too, but circumstances have changed, so I'm gonna get you out of here.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, what makes you think I'll be safe someplace else? Well, I'm just gonna buy us a little time, okay? Well, for what? Till I can think of something a little more permanent.
So you've got no plan.
I'm not gonna let anything happen to you, all right, Phil? Dr.
Cole, stop! You think I don't know how this works? I was born and raised in Philly.
If these guys wanna find me, they'll find me, no matter where I am, and they won't stop until I'm dead.
Ruben.
Hey, I need you to do something for me.
What can I do you for? I have to kill a patient.
This is insane.
- You're insane.
- Ruben, just give it to me, okay? It's a highly concentrated cocktail of cardioactive drugs.
Have you ever used one of these before? Do you have any idea how strong this is? All right, well, tell me how to use it, okay? Ruben, I'm begging you.
I have no other options.
Please, tell me.
You push it into his iv.
His heart rate will slow to a whisper below detectable instrument levels.
You'll have maybe seven minutes tops to revive him.
Okay, and after that? And then, after that, he'll actually be dead.
[Exhales.]
Okay.
So once he flatlines, I stage the scene.
I get him the hell out of there as fast as I can, right? I only got a few minutes.
That's not a lot of time.
That's because this is not a good idea.
If I don't this now, then Ian will, or Kozar, and now, they've threatened Lena.
Okay? This is my only shot.
I need everyone to believe he's dead, Kozar, the entire hospital.
Fine.
Go kill the guy.
Thanks.
Lena.
Hey, you okay? - Yeah, why? - Oh, nothing.
I just I was looking all over for you.
What are you doing tonight? Well, I failed to convince my fetal patient to have surgery, so, after I'm done discharging her, I will be going home to drink it off.
Okay, well, don't leave.
Why not? I just I don't think you should give up on your fetal patient.
Jason, I'm out of ideas.
Well, you just need to show them something that they're not seeing, you know? Give them something to relate to.
Well, I guess I can try talking to them again.
Yeah, try, all right? It's worth it.
I've got one more thing to do, and then, I'll come find you, all right? But don't leave without checking in with me, okay? - Okay.
- Thanks.
You ready? This is it? This is it.
I'm scared.
Don't be, okay? It's just like we talked about.
You're gonna fall asleep, and in a few minutes, I am gonna wake you up.
That's it.
Everything's gonna be fine.
Here we go.
Just breathe.
Come on.
Breathe.
Just breathe.
[Heart monitor beeping.]
[Heart monitor flatlining.]
[Alarm sounds.]
[Over PA.]
Trauma team, code blue.
Trauma team, code blue.
Where the hell have you been? He's been coding for 20 minutes! What are you talking about? We just got the code.
I've got it.
Well, why didn't you come get someone? Because I'm trying to save the patient.
Is that okay? Dr.
Cole.
Dr.
Cole.
What? If it's really been over 20 minutes, you need to call it.
Time of death, 4:37 P.
M.
- Who are you calling? - The morgue.
Just put the phone down, all right? I'll do it myself like everything else I've done today.
Jason, I don't know what happened with the code, but I think you're overreacting.
All right.
Sue Jean, I've got it.
Just start the paper work.
- Ruben.
- How's the patient? I don't know, not dead yet.
You had seven minutes.
How long before he's actually dead? Maybe three, tops? Jason, three minutes isn't enough time.
I know.
We're gonna have to start here.
- In the elevator? - Yeah.
Going down? [Elevator dings.]
Is that accent Russian? I have cousin who works in hospital.
He is orderly.
It is orderly who takes body to morgue, yes? Under normal circumstances, yes, which this is not.
It was orderly who took Max to morgue.
Max is my dead son.
Dr.
Cole did not save him.
I'm sorry.
Dr.
Cole saved this one instead.
Hey, hey.
Come on.
Now, he is dead too.
Eye for an eye.
And no one else has to die, right? That was our deal.
You have my word.
You made good on your promise.
You do not lie.
I believe you now, doctor, about my son.
You did everything you could, yes? I did, I swear.
[Elevator doors slide open.]
If there is ever anything I can do for you, you call.
Okay, here we go.
Ruben, here.
Take this.
No, I'm just a cheerleader here.
So, I give him the meds.
You're gonna breathe for him.
No, I've never done this before.
It's okay.
It's easy.
All you gotta do is squeeze and count to six.
Go ahead.
Here we go.
Amp of epi.
Go, Ruben.
One, two, three, four, five.
One, two, three, four, five.
Now, wait, wait, wait.
Not so fast.
Ruben, it's a waltz, not a tango.
Yeah, I only know how to merengue.
The tempo is faster.
Why isn't this working? Wait, like this, like this.
Press it soft like this.
Ready? One, two, three, four, five, six squeeze.
Two, three Good, all right.
Another amp of epi.
One, two, three, four, five.
Two, three, four, five.
Damn it! I'm an accessory to murder.
[Heart monitor flatlining.]
No, you're not.
It's gonna be fine.
Another amp of atro.
Just keep going.
One, two, three, four.
Don't do this.
Come on! One, two, three, four, five.
[Heart monitor beeping.]
Okay, we got a pulse.
Oh, God, we got a pulse.
Yeah, I don't know what you were worried about.
That was real easy.
Yeah, we're not done yet.
Come on.
[Grunts.]
Thank you for doing this.
You're my last hope.
Then I feel sorry for you.
- Knock, knock.
- No, no more doctors.
Please, just release her.
Listen, I know how you feel, but before we discharge you, I want you to meet Dr.
Jordan.
I just want to go home.
No doctor can tell you what to do for your child.
I wouldn't trust them for a second, but a parent of a child with a disability? Maybe I'd hear me out.
I love my son.
I love him completely.
But if there was anything I could do to make his life easier and take away his disability, I would do it.
I would do it in a heartbeat.
Our son does not have a life-threatening condition.
I am not willing to risk his life just to make him more normal.
Brain damage? Paralysis? These things are life-altering, and complications can develop from them over the course of your pregnancy that are life-threatening, but you are in a hospital right now with excellent surgeons who can intervene and stop the course of damage to your son.
You're a surgeon.
Of course you're gonna advocate for surgery.
It's not in my best interest to do that right now, Mr.
Cross.
See, if I stay and perform the surgery for your son tonight, then I won't be able to be with mine for something that's very important to him.
Why would you do that? He's resilient and perfectly capable of taking care of himself, but your son may never be able to.
I believe we can change that.
- Mr.
Watts.
- Doctor.
Dad.
Dr.
Cole.
Yeah, it's me, Phil.
I'm here.
Did it work? Well, you're talking to me, so, yeah, it did work.
- You did it.
- We did it.
We did it.
No one will be looking for you now.
Thank you for helping my son.
You got it.
Let's get him somewhere safe where he can recover.
Let me know how he's doing, all right? - I will.
- I owe you guys.
You got it.
Now, that's how to kill a guy.
[Sighs.]
Will someone let my husband know that I'm okay? Of course, and he'll be waiting for you in post-op when you wake up.
[Equipment beeping.]
What's going on? We Haven't even started yet! Fetus is having decels.
- He's bradycardic.
- What's happening? Your baby's in distress.
Fetal stim? - Oh, is that gonna hurt him? - No, no, no, no.
We're just trying to wake him up a little bit.
[Beeping.]
No improvement.
Try again.
- Heart rate is dropping.
- What's happening? Could be structural.
Heart, lungs.
- Or hydrops.
- What's happening? Peak velocity in MCA is down.
What does that mean? The baby needs a transfusion right now.
God, am I losing him? We're gonna do everything we can.
- Did I wait too long? - Just hang in there.
Just save him.
Just save my baby.
Okay.
- Is this my fault? - Where are my packed cells? Give me a steady image of the cord.
Got it.
One shot at glory.
Inside the abdominal wall.
Amniotic fluid.
Get this into the umbilical vein and into our little boy blue.
And then, we can proceed with the surgery as planned.
Pushing 20ccs packed cells.
Okay.
Transfusion complete.
Heart rate's normal.
Baby's movement looks excellent.
[Exhales.]
Okay, now that we're on our toes, I'm gonna step out and scrub.
[Cello playing.]
Ray, you're next.
Have you seen my dad? No, sorry.
I don't need your help.
- I know you don't.
- You can't do the surgery.
It's past 6:00.
Well, then you should get out of here.
Let me get started.
You saved that kid's life, all right? Go be with yours.
What about the on call? I got an idea.
- I can be back in at 10:00.
I don't need you to be.
Honestly.
Go.
You're clear for surgery, doctor.
Your hair looks like crap.
Knock 'em dead.
[Chopin's Nocturne in E Flat Major Opis 9 playing.]
Okay, kiddo.
Time for bed.
What do you got there? It's baseball, me, and daddy And I want him to know me.
Now, listen.
I think we have been at the lake long enough, don't you? I think we should go home.
Then, you can give your picture to your daddy.
I get to see daddy? You get to see daddy.
[applause.]
Sue Jean.
You were really impressive today.
- You're kidding, right? - No, I'm not.
You were fantastic.
What happened to Watts? [Sighs.]
He took a turn for the worst.
It happens sometimes.
But he was doing great.
I mean, there's no reason he should have up and died like that, and then the code.
How could we just miss it? You didn't miss anything, all right? I promise.
You're a good doctor.
That's why I want you on call tonight.
- Really? - Really.
Grab a pager.
Welcome to the big leagues.
[Exhales.]
[Sighs.]
I'm on call.
Lena.
Lena! - Hey.
- Hey, what happened? I thought you were gonna check in with me before you left.
I didn't think I needed to.
We did it.
Yeah, we did, didn't we? - That was - It was miraculous.
Yeah.
Well, I'm glad you were there.
Me too.
You still gonna get that drink? With Rob.
Right, yeah, of course.
It's well, tell him I said hi.
- I gotta - Right.
Don't get into any more fights, okay? Okay.
Hey, Lena? I'm too late, aren't I? I can't wait for you, Jason.
Hi, it's Dr.
Cole.
Maybe there is something you can do for me.
[Cheers and applause.]
Eight, winner! [Cheers and applause.]
All right, let's go again.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Stay lucky.
[Cheering.]
Yeah! Oh, you're kidding.
[Grunts.]
[Tires screech.]
[Groans.]
Yes? This is from Dr.
Cole.
- What is it? - Spinal fluid.
