Heartbeat (2016) s01e10 Episode Script

1 [Sleep Machine's "Wild for You" playing.]
You're the lion that I'm taming - And now I'm not the same - [siren wails.]
We're swinging in the jungle baby You're my Tarzan and I'm your Jane We all have the rash.
Yeah, I could feel it when I was doing this on stage.
We've all used this spray tan before.
- [slot machine ringing.]
- Yes! But I've never had a rash like this before.
Look how far down it goes.
[slot machines chiming.]
How long do you think it'll take to see a doctor? We got a second show tonight.
- Just a little longer.
- Out of the way, please.
She has a contusion on her frontal cortex.
No, no, no, no.
I just have a headache and a little boo boo over on my eye.
- Nice abs.
- Thanks.
[gasps.]
The Thunder from Down Under.
I love your show.
Oh, Detective? Give me an IV banana bag with extra thiamine.
For what? Oh, the hangover I'm about to have.
Wild for you She has a mild concussion.
Apparently, she hit her head on a craps table when she was doing the happy dance.
She just made her 12th straight pass and took the casino for all it's worth.
Hmm.
Not bad for a rookie.
[slot machine chiming.]
Oh, my God, I won! She may experience some temporary lapses in memory.
- From the concussion? - From the hangover.
I won again! I should come to the hospital more often.
[soft music.]
[whispering.]
Alex.
Ooh.
Hey.
Aw, Max.
[laughs.]
How could you do this to me? You cannot move to Vegas.
I don't care if Brian wants to open up a club there.
The boys and I need you.
And do you know what people do in Vegas? - What? - Gamble.
All night long.
It's an addiction.
Where am I? Vegas.
Looks like a hospital.
In Las Vegas.
Right, I remember winning.
Mm-hmm.
And telling someone to call you.
Yeah, you actually called me to say that you loved me and that you would always love me.
I do.
I will.
Alexandra Panttiere? Hmm? Your husband would like to see you.
Oh, he's standing right here.
Not that husband, doll, the one you married last night.
Heartfelt congratulations on your blessed nuptials from the Las Vegas Emergency Medical Center and Casino.
[rock music.]
Complimentary buffet.
Okay, baby doll, I'll send him in.
You don't have to check in on me, Millicent.
I just needed a few days off.
No, Jesse and I haven't spoken.
Yes, I've showered.
It's on my to-do list.
[sighs.]
Yeah.
Max and the boys are still in Vegas.
Hey, did I tell you that Max is moving to Vegas? That many times? Wow.
Yeah, well, Pierce moved his stuff out.
He left one thing: the watch that I bought him.
- I'm gonna hock it.
- [doorbell rings.]
Hey, did I tell you that a house echoes when you're alone? Hello? Don't feel flattered still pissed as hell at you.
And the board is all over my ass because you operated on a stolen chimp, and now they want to postpone my review to talk about you.
So what else is new? I brought you some real food.
[sighs.]
[sobs.]
Well, you hadn't been at work, so I was a bit worried about you.
[soft music.]
All right.
- Oh, babe.
- [sobs.]
You should shower, babe.
Mm-mm.
Excuse me, uh, miss, I've been waiting for if I drop dead will you pay attention to me? Sorry, sir, there's no smoking in the hospital.
I'm just trying to find my wife.
Don't you know those are bad for you? Is that a real Cuban? Vegueros.
My dad loves cigars.
He thinks we don't notice when he sneaks out to smoke.
Can you help me find my wife? Yeah.
Is she a patient here? - Mister? - Uh, Shaw.
I was hoping you could tell me.
Miranda walks in the park every day.
She just started forgetting things.
When she didn't come home for lunch, I went looking for her.
That's been two days ago.
I told the police, and I thought I'd check the hospitals.
Do something, you know what I mean, it's now two days.
You wait here, and I'll find someone to help you, okay? The house echoes when you when you're alone.
It does, right? Look, here's a picture.
She had that same red hair the day I married her, 62 years ago.
You've been married 62 years? I know to you young people that sounds like a death sentence.
Actually, it sounds kind of wonderful.
Come with me.
I'll help you find your wife.
Good.
I should have told her to wear a jacket, you know? This is my wife.
She's pretty.
[alarm on phone blaring.]
Attention all hospital personnel.
This is not a drill.
The internal disaster plan is being activated.
Daniel Aaron, 44, has a pyogenic hepatic abscess.
- Uh-huh? - County sent him to us when they discovered he also has MERS.
First case in California this year, Dr.
Harrison.
All right, let's prep him for surgery.
Alert the CDC, Nurse Lyons.
Roger that, Nurse.
[suspenseful music.]
All right, MERS Middle-East Respiratory Syndrome, is a virus that usually presents with cold-like symptoms.
MERS is contagious 15 blade.
Oh, great, thank you, Nurse.
And usually difficult to distinguish until it's got a firm grip on the patient.
Anna, I told you.
It's incredible.
In this case, the virus has caused septicemia, which seeded Mr.
Aaron's liver, which is why he has a large right lobe hepatic abscess on the dome.
Bovie.
You're quick on the draw.
Just doing my job, Doctor.
I can't get to the abscess from this approach.
All right, we're gonna open him up.
I'm gonna do a partial thank you, Ji-Sung Everyone, out.
- We're going to a skeleton crew.
- What the hell is going on? The nurse who admitted your patient was found in the corridor.
She's exhibiting symptoms of MERS.
She was wearing a protective suit.
So were the health workers in Texas who got Ebola.
Everyone, out.
We've set up a testing station outside the OR, please have your blood drawn.
It takes two days for MERS to show up on the serum PCR, Dr.
Shane.
You know that.
We're still checking everyone's blood and swabbing them.
Oral and nasal.
Show's over! I can do this alone.
I'm sure you can, but I'm staying.
Thanks, Ji-Sung.
You can leave.
No, I'm not going anywhere.
Fine.
Good, external saw.
- Then stand over there.
- Over there? That's where the interns would stand I can't.
Callahan said you've been applying for your U.
S.
certifications.
Callahan has a big mouth.
He also said he got to second base.
And he's a liar.
You want to be a doctor, there is nothing better than hands-on experience, so I suggest you go stand right over there.
[soft music.]
I'll be inserting a blake drain.
Thank you for doing this, Dana.
Mr.
Shaw, this is Nurse Congdon, our Nursing Supervisor.
She'll help you find your wife.
- Thank you, Doctor.
- [cell phone buzzes.]
She walked out of the house two days ago.
[cell phone chiming.]
Ji-Sung's in there.
Doctors, this is Dr.
Brenneman, he's the ID expert from the CDC.
He's here to give us a quick tutorial on MERS.
Thank you for coming at such short notice.
Until we can get confirmation on Nurse Lyons' blood work How is Nurse Lyons doing? She's stable, but her fever is still high.
- Now - Is that typical of MERS? It can be.
Now, if I can continue.
There is no vaccine for MERS, or no antiviral treatment So no antibiotics? Would you let him finish, please? Roger that.
Antibiotics have no effect and can cause a super-infection.
Supportive care only.
Which means until we know exactly what we're dealing with, everybody in that room stays in isolation.
That's right.
[dramatic music.]
There's fluid in his right chest.
Uh-huh.
You tell me why? Sympathetic effusion.
An exudative pleural effusion caused by disease in a nearby structure.
In this case, the subdiaphragmatic abscess has caused the fluid to accumulate.
Excellent.
Recommendation? You need to drain it with a 32 French chest tube, Dr.
Harrison.
No, you do.
There, you're gonna stick your finger in.
Deeper.
Along the top of the rib there, till you feel the lung.
You got it? Ji-Sung! Now, my men will need access to every area of the hospital that was exposed to the index case.
Mr.
Aaron, who is stable, as is Nurse Ji-Sung, who is in isolation with Doctors Harrison and Shane.
Is there an office where we can convene, once we've done a thorough sweep? Yes, but as you can imagine, the hospital would rather keep this as quiet as possible.
- My men will be discreet.
- CDC! Coming through! Out the way! Out the way! Hug the walls, please! Step to the side! - Move to your right! - Move out the way! Thanks for your discretion, Doctor.
Ah, ah, ah.
No you don't, missy.
Alex.
I have to help.
Come on.
You'll be exposing yourself to all Pierce and Jesse are in there.
I have to I have to help.
Go on.
Thank you.
Will you see if Dr.
Anderson can cover me on Mr.
Rubin's whipple? I understand.
Nurse Lyons' temperature is spiking.
I've been monitoring her.
Well, you're gonna have to cancel.
Can I get you guys anything? There's nothing you can do, Panttiere.
I'll call you if anything else changes.
We need to call down and get some ice packs up here.
Apologize to the Chinese delegation.
I mean, there's nothing you know.
Stop! You took my blood an hour ago.
You can't take any more, stop.
Leave her alone, dude.
It's getting weird.
I'm doing sequential testing so I don't miss the viral load.
We're not even sure we're dealing with MERS, Callahan.
I mean, it could be food poisoning, gastro, a flu, even.
I brought you this so you can practice what I taught you, okay? Look, here's some magazines, okay? Look, here's some crossword puzzles.
You've got to drink a lot of fluids, okay? Thank you.
That's very kind of you.
You got to pee that virus right out of your system.
Go away.
[soft music.]
Hey, I know it's hard on you.
It's hard on me.
I'm sorry.
I wish we could just I understand.
[mutters indistinctly.]
[slow somber rock music.]
Televisions selling This and that Pretty women say I want to look like that - What just happened? - Nothing.
You had feelings.
Oh, in your dreams, Harrison.
No, it's okay.
It's actually human.
Listen, we agreed from the beginning, sport, that this was just bitchin' sex, nothing more.
Little children Hear your father Tell me that is not a gift for me.
Nope, it's a gift for me, but we should open it together.
Fine, when I saw this, I knew it would be something that you really wanted.
I don't want a gift.
If you ever want bitching sex again, you're gonna open it, you're gonna smile, and you're gonna say, "Thank you.
" Thank you.
A rusty scalpel? I love tetanus, thank you.
It's from the estate of Dr.
Christiaan Barnard.
This was his? Oh, my God, Pierce.
I mean, this was used in one of the first heart transplants.
Babe thank you.
Prepare yourself, Alex.
I love you.
Don't freak out.
Alex.
I'm not freaking out.
Damn it.
You don't have to say it back.
I don't intend to.
You can mouth it.
Or sign.
Hey.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Damn it.
Mr.
Shaw, I think we've found your wife.
She was just brought in, and we don't have an ID on her yet, but she appears to be in her 70s or 80s.
Miranda! That's not her.
Her hair is red.
Not that red, this red.
Buccaneers' colors.
She made this for me.
It's a her hair's that kind of red.
Okay.
I'm so sorry, Mr.
Shaw.
I should have told her I'd go with her.
She'd be home now.
[soft music.]
No, that's totally cheating.
- I did not cheat.
- That touched.
Didn't buzz.
Is he still here? Drink fluids.
Still there.
Jesus.
Are you ever gonna give this guy a chance? - You okay? - Yeah.
Oh, yeah, I'm good.
Sure? I think I'm I'm just gonna lie down for a bit.
Yeah, go.
All right, wrench to ankle, 200.
[machinery beeping rapidly.]
[dramatic music.]
Nurse Lyons is coding.
Start compressions.
I'll shock her.
Quick! Bag her.
Setting for 360.
Clear.
all: Clear! - Still no rhythm.
- Hit her again.
Clear.
Oh, my God, we've lost her.
I'm ready to take that third blood test now! - Get another nurse in here! - Stat! We have a MERS outbreak, and yet here we are, discussing Dr.
Panttiere again.
Soliciting a medical trial on Craigslist? Allowing Dr.
Panttiere to conduct a highly successful trial.
Illegally breaking into West Side Medical to perform a robotic procedure.
Saving her patient's life, and the charges were dismissed.
Performing an unsuccessful human-to-chimpanzee heart transplant on a lab animal that was stolen by an animal rights group.
Yeah, that's a hard one, actually.
Every time that Dr.
Panttiere becomes involved in anything, our public relations department becomes very busy warding off negative press.
That's from yesterday.
Perfect.
And we are in the middle of a MERS outbreak.
I've called for an infectious disease conference with the CDC, and I'm late for it already.
But I can assure you, I have everything under control.
Can you assure me that Dr.
Panttiere isn't involved in the CDC investigation? We want this resolved as quickly and quietly as possible.
That never happens when Dr.
Panttiere's involved.
Hmm.
- Oh, and Doctor? - Yes? You chose to give the position of CIO to her.
That decision is beginning to reflect poorly on you, in the eyes of the board.
Now, so far the two EMTs that drove the index patient to St.
Matthew's are showing no symptoms.
The first patient at St.
Matthew's to have contact with the index case was Nurse Lyons.
That's right.
We're waiting for her family to fly in so we can get permission to do an autopsy and determine the exact cause of death.
She got sick so quickly.
Now, we don't know the underlying causes that may have compromised her immune system.
What if it's not MERS? We don't need another voice at this point, Dr.
Panttiere, thank you.
Ji-Sung's fever's up.
We are monitoring everyone for any changes.
Like you monitored Nurse Lyons.
I think we have more than enough experts to handle this.
I'm not gonna sit around and wait for these people No, you're not.
You're gonna go back to your patients.
This is not your jurisdiction.
Excuse me? Stay out of this, Alex.
"Your jurisdiction," my ass.
Look, you tell me the lab results for Ji-Sung and Dr.
Shane and Harrison are in? - They are, Dr.
Panttiere.
- Can I see it? I was instructed to give them to the CDC doctors only.
- By who? - [mumbling.]
Dr.
Silvano.
Who? Um, Dr.
Silvano.
Dr.
Panttiere? I think they found Mr.
Shaw's wife.
If she doesn't have red hair She has red hair.
Call him.
And find me and tell me when he comes in.
Alex.
Hey.
If I die, I'm an organ donor.
You're not gonna die.
But if I do, please don't let Callahan see me naked.
Okay.
[machinery beeping.]
His temp shot up.
Hey, let me help you with that.
I got it.
I got it.
Pierce.
It's 103.
Do you want to take anything? I took some.
I never meant to hurt you, baby.
Maybe it's time we look at who we are, and what we both want.
I want you.
He'll always be between us, Alex.
He'll always be in my life, but not for the reasons you think.
But Jesse was with me the night Lou died.
[alarms blaring.]
Help! I need 10 milligrams of Diazepam! I understand that, but a seizure is not consistent with MERS.
Funny, my understanding from the room full of infectious disease experts is that MERS can present itself in unpredictable ways, but perhaps you know better.
We're looking at the wrong disease.
If that's the case, I feel confident the CDC will discover what it is.
What's going on? The board is questioning my judgment for hiring you, as well as my inability to get you to conform to hospital protocol.
So if you really want to help me, you'll just stay out of this.
Your only responsibility in this matter is to serve as Dr.
Shane's health proxy, and that is it.
What? You didn't know? In the event he's incapacitated, you're in charge of all medical decisions.
I'm sorry, I assumed you knew.
[phone ringing.]
Now, if you'll excuse me.
Dr.
Silvano.
You know what she's asking me to do.
She wants you to end her pain.
There are no more treatments left for Lou.
Just more pain.
Let's give her a chance to have a say in this.
- No one needs to know.
- [sobs.]
I can't bear to see her suffer.
I know.
But I can't do it.
You don't have to.
Alex? Anything show up? Nothing other than Ji-Sung showing signs of leukocytosis, which would be normal if she had MERS, which still isn't showing up in anyone's blood because it's too soon.
You know what, Callahan? Go home, I got this.
No, I got to do something, or else I'm gonna go crazy.
Are you worried? But, I can promise you, they'll sleep well tonight.
I ordered a high dose of Zofran in their IVs with an Ativan chaser.
Wow.
That's a party I wish I was at.
Memories Like the corners of my mind Misty watercolor memories Of the way we were both: Scattered pictures Of the smiles we left behind Smiles we gave to one another For the way we were Can it be Oh, my God, are you guys freaking kidding me? - Oh, I'm sorry.
- Sorry.
For real? You got a beautiful voice, man.
I do.
And you're a great doctor.
I am.
You know that I went to every single one of your lectures at Harvard? You inspired me.
You made me realize why I want to be a doctor.
Nah.
You kissed my girlfriend.
Yeah, sorry about that.
If I could get up, I would really kick your ass right now.
I mean, I'd really kick your ass.
I can't get up.
Listen, I gave you one for free, but you come at me again like that, and you'll be sorry you ever did long as it's not today.
Why'd you walk away from her ten years ago? For her.
Why'd you walk away? For both of us.
I know I love her.
I love her way more than you do.
Not possible.
Oh, it's way possible.
No.
Way.
No.
Way.
Okay, we've eliminated CJD, dengue, Ebola, all the heps what else? - Zika, bird flu - Okay.
We reached Mr.
Shaw, Dr.
Panttiere.
He's here.
I told you her hair was red.
She was brought in two days ago as a Jane Doe.
They found her in the park, unconscious.
Miranda loved to feed the squirrels.
Are you ready? Yeah.
She was beautiful.
Yes, she was.
But that's not my wife.
Oh, thank God! [sighs.]
No disrespect.
What are all those bumps? "Cause of death, pneumonia.
" That doesn't seem right.
[dramatic music.]
The hell it is.
Come on, Mr.
Shaw, let's go.
Alex, what is so important you pulled me out of a meeting? This is not MERS.
It's pneumonic plague.
I need three doses of gentamicin and a 2 milligram loading dose for Jesse, Pierce, and Ji-Sung.
These are not your patients.
Nurse Lyons didn't catch MERS from Mr.
Aaron.
She got pneumonic plague from a Jane Doe who was admitted two day ago.
So did Jesse, Pierce, and Ji-Sung.
They all had contact with her.
And I want 1.
7 milligrams of gen every eight hours, around the clock.
No, wait! - You have no jurisdiction here.
- I hate waiting! Callahan is finishing the autopsy now, and until we get those results, you do nothing.
I am not waiting.
Alex, the CDC what if you're wrong? I'm not.
[soft music.]
[indistinct chatter.]
- Great, we'll see you then.
- See you there.
Marty, Lynn, I'll take it from here.
Thank you.
Hi, Mr.
Shaw.
I loved her every single day she was with me.
I almost didn't marry her.
I was an idiot.
We were young.
I was scared.
I kept thinking, "What if I'm making the wrong choice?" I should have told her how much I loved her before she left.
You still can.
Jasper.
Jasper! I thought I lost you.
Oh, I thought I lost you.
- I know.
- You know? - You went for a walk.
- I did? - Yeah, two days ago.
- Oh.
And I've been looking for you, checking the hospitals.
Oh.
And then I found out from this nice doctor that you were looking for me.
I was.
- He gets a little confused.
- Yeah.
But she still loves me.
Yes, I do.
Let's go home.
That's my wife.
Thank you.
- Ho, ho, ho.
- Oh.
Men's Wearhouse have a sale? You know, it's amazing what 72 hours and a bunch of constipating antibiotics can do.
You getting out of here today? Yeah, Dr.
Shane and Dr.
Harrison are already out.
I just have to wait for someone official to officially release me, and then I can take this off.
Protocol.
I think I can find someone to spring you.
Thank you for the food.
You know, I watched you sleep.
So technically, we slept together.
No.
I was worried about you.
- I can't go out with you.
- I'm willing to shower.
No, you call me offensive names.
You always have food in your beard.
I'm sure there was a time where I was more your type, where I was a Harvard man.
I used to wear a suit, okay? I used to wear a tie, deodorant, even waxed my testicles once.
Oh, my God, please get to the end of the story.
I managed to work in every conversation how I graduated first in my class, interned at Mass General.
Wow.
The head of my trauma surgery department was also a Harvard man.
Pretty much everybody was.
I was proud to be one of them, until one night, there was this this multi-car pileup.
[dramatic music.]
And this woman was rushed in.
Part of her skull was smashed, and she was conscious.
And she looked right at me.
She was alive.
She was gonna die, there was no doubt.
But I screamed, I said, "This woman is alive!" The head of my department told me there was more salvageable patients to triage.
"Forget about her," that's what he said.
I will never forget her.
Come here.
[upbeat music.]
Although I really enjoyed that, it's there's still cloth between us.
Screw the CDC.
You wanted to see me? Yes.
The board finally called me in to discuss you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, how much are they fining me this time? They're not fining you, Alex, they're firing you.
[dramatic music.]
If you'd just waited for Callahan's aspirate results.
They were wrong.
I was right.
- Yes, but they're the CDC.
- I don't care.
- Well, you have to care.
- Why? They're firing me.
What else can they do, take away my medical license? They can't take away my license.
The CDC is considering filing charges against you to the California Medical Board, and yes, they can take away your license.
[dramatic music.]
Alex.
They can't take away my license.
They'll have a fight on their hands if they try.
If I can't be a doctor I have to be able to do what I do.
I've already spoken to Jesse about how we can approach this.
Jesse knows? He was with me when I spoke to the board.
Why? Because he has a lot of influence, and he can help me fight for you.
Jesse can't help me.
He works for the hospital that fired my ass.
Well, that's not entirely true.
When the board ordered me to terminate your contract, Jesse quit.
- To gettin fired - We'll see about .
both: Go! Mmm! Ugh! - Oh, you win.
- [chuckles.]
So what did Jesse say? Well, he told the board if they wanted to make St.
Matthew's a top research institute, they needed somebody like you.
Arrogant, rude, disrespectful, oblivious to consequences, rude, arrogant.
That's so sweet.
- You know, you broke his heart.
- Mm-mm.
He broke mine, so did Pierce.
I told Pierce I just want to be with him.
He's much smarter than that, Alex.
When it comes to Pierce and Jesse, you can't choose.
Yeah.
[soft music.]
No.
Ah, ah, ah.
I think you've had enough, my friend.
I'm gonna call you a cab.
Brilliant.
[laughs.]
It has been worth every minute, Dr.
Panttiere.
Back at you, Silvano.
[groans.]
- Hugging again? - Mm-hmm.
How do you drink this stuff? Where to? [sighs.]
Take me to the Bellagio in Las Vegas.
Lady [laughs.]
This is I fell in love again And it happened in a minute Vegas, here we come.
My eyes shot out - Like a fish out of water - [phone line trilling.]
Hey, it's me.
Listen, I love you, and I will always love you, and you know that.
And I'm going to Vegas, baby.
Just be prepared for me 'Cause I'm in love Whoo! With love love Whoo! [horns honking.]
[slot machines ringing.]
[cheering.]
[siren wails.]
The groom would like to see you.
He says he's been looking everywhere for you.
Uh-huh.
What the hell happened to you? Oh, my God! Where'd you go last night? And what happened to my shirt? You tell me.
Well, you called me.
You said you loved me, that you'll always love me.
- I got that call.
- You sounded a little She was a lot.
Well, I flew out here, and I found you.
I'm I'm I'm just curious, did did we get married? After the honeymoon and a ton of drinking.
- Was Elvis standing next to me? - Oh, yeah.
Elvis, he's our witness.
Oh, yeah.
The fat Elvis.
It was fat Elvis, yeah, 'cause skinny Elvis booked another wedding.
There was somebody else there, 'cause how did I get here? I don't know.
After we got married, you said you wanted to go to the casino and watch people gamble and make fun of them.
Sounds romantic.
I went to the bathroom, and I came out, and you were nowhere to be found.
I'm calling your cell, you're not picking up your cell, so I've been searching hospitals all day for you.
- We're married? - Yeah.
Right? [laughs.]
- Ah, hon? - Hmm? Your husband's outside.
He'd like to see you.
- What? - Excuse me? Heartfelt congratulations on your blessed nuptials from the Las Vegas Emergency Medical Center and Casino.
Busy gal.
Next.
[chuckles.]
- Hi, Jesse.
- Huh? - Hey.
- Good luck.
Alex, where the hell have you been? Where did you go? Wait, actually, this is very strange.
You called.
You said, "I love you.
" You said, "I will always love you.
" both: I got that call.
Right.
We got drunk.
I mean, we had a lot of drinks, and then we got married.
Skinny Elvis was our witness.
Oh, that's whose wedding he booked.
- I wanted fat Elvis.
- What's a wedding without him? But why were you here? Alex, I've been looking everywhere for you.
You went to the bathroom and disappeared.
What the hell happened? I'll tell you what happened.
'Cause I'm in love With love Oh.
Okay.
Now it's coming back to me.
Not gonna change my ways 'Cause I'm in love With love I'm in love In love
