Mercy s01e22 Episode Script
That Crazy Bitch Was Right
Nice neighborhood.
I saw gang graffiti outside.
Where? I don't know, but it's there.
I saw it.
So don't take the stupid apartment then.
Stop trying to sell it to me.
I'm trying to make you feel good about you know what, forget it.
You're a grown woman living with your parents.
Enjoy.
What is your problem? Are you on your period? Just give me five seconds.
It's a big decision.
Walk-in closet, huge.
Thought you might like to know, jerk.
So I'm not gonna take it.
Why not? Because.
Oh, because.
Why don't you make a case for why you don't want a beautiful one-bedroom apartment of your own? Reason one, I currently live rent-free.
Reason two, my laundry always gets done, there's always food in the fridge at no additional charge.
Reason three, my father is very sick, and my mom's a flake who can't take care of him by herself.
What are you writing? Oh, just keep going.
Mike found the apartment for me, - so I feel weird taking it.
- Why? Because what's the point of getting divorced if you're gonna act married? Separate issue.
Stay with the apartment.
And I don't have any furniture.
So your reasons are financial insecurity.
You are afraid to take responsibility for yourself.
You're afraid your father won't be okay without your help.
You don't want to accept help, and you're afraid of change.
I'm also afraid of goblins.
Have you ever lived alone? No.
Yes, hi.
This is Veronica Callahan.
We spoke about the one-bedroom.
I'd like to rent it.
Hey! Hey, lady, up here! - Up here! We need some help! - What? My friend's hurt.
He's hurt really bad.
- We need help.
- Okay, don't move.
I'll be right up.
- Hey! - Lady, up here.
Jeez.
- Where's your friend? - I'll show you.
Oh.
Hey.
What happened? Think I did something to my knee.
It was crazy.
We were up there in the crawl space, and then the whole thing just caved in.
You're lucky.
I'm a nurse.
Ahh.
What's your name? Patrick.
You broke your kneecap.
Okay.
It won't hurt as much if I can make you a splint.
Hey, you, other kid.
Jonah.
Jonah, get me another piece of wood.
So you guys come here to smoke and look at dirty magazines? Nice.
I hope it was worth it.
This is gonna take six weeks to heal.
We gotta get out of here.
Come on, I'll help you.
I got you.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, this way.
I gotta get my magazines.
There's plenty of porn in the world, kid.
No reason to die for boobs you can't touch.
Follow me.
Hey lady.
Lady, are you awake? - How long was I out? - I don't know.
Are you okay? Where's Patrick? He's stuck.
He's over there.
Show me.
He can't get his arm out.
Hey, Patrick.
Hey.
How you doing, buddy? It hurts.
Oh, man, I bet it does.
We gotta get you outta here.
There's no way out.
I already looked.
Do you have a phone? My mom won't let me have one.
All right, let's find mine.
It's in my purse.
What color's your purse? It's black.
Great.
Can you imagine? It's been 12 hours.
He's still unconscious.
Diffuse cerebral edema.
We've tried cooling catheter, magnesium, mannitol, nothing's worked.
I read about his previous concussions.
He must have taken one hell of a hit.
It was an accident.
What about a craniotomy? Yeah, right.
The army's been doing craniotomies for brain swelling.
I know you had a relationship with him, but I'm not comfortable taking off half his skull without a clear-cut indication.
The medical therapy isn't working.
Nurse, with the prolonged elevation and ICP, his brain is toast.
Carlson, she's looking for solutions here.
A craniotomy would definitely lower the pressure in his brain, which directly correlates with increased survival.
If you want to pass, that's fine.
I've got a friend at Robert wood Johnson who'd be more than happy to do it.
Okay, fine.
But I gotta tell you, I'm not optimistic.
Thank you.
Chloe We're gonna do everything we can.
Sorry, I gotta take this.
Norm, talk to me.
Don't tell me 750.
What do you want, a cookie? I said a million.
Keep liquidating.
Find an I.
A.
to roll over.
Meanwhile, I'm selling all my stuff.
Yeah, I got some nibbles on the samurai sword and the Porsche, whatever else I have that's worth anything.
Yes, I said a samurai sword.
Well, if you must know, Norm, it's because I happen to live by the samurai code of Bushido, which is Japanese for " kicking ass with honor.
" Is that acceptable to you, Norm? 'Cause I don't bust your balls about those stupid stuffed owls you got perched all over your office, do I? Whoa, whoa, whoa, be careful, doc.
We're doing some electrical work here.
Norm, go through the couch in your office.
Turn your mom upside down and shake out some gold fillings.
I don't care.
Figure it out, Mr.
5%.
Okay.
Okay, okay.
So we're not we're not gonna do that one then.
Nope.
Okay.
Everybody stay calm.
The worst thing you can do in these situations is panic.
So just calm down.
Where is it? Find my bag.
I got it, I got it.
I got it.
All right.
Wow, you got a lot of crap in here, lady.
Give me that.
Hello.
- Hey.
- Mike.
So what'd you decide about the apartment? I'm in a collapsed building with a couple of kids.
What? What are you saying? I you're breaking up.
One of them has a crush injury, and there's a beam, I can't get it off.
Okay, where? Give me the address.
Sip Ave and Corbin, right near Mercy.
I'm in the basement.
Mike? Hello? Damn it! Um, excuse me.
What's happening here? Oh, I just checked myself in.
I took the elevator up, and I found the first open room, and I'm Evelyn, by the way.
You have to be admitted to the ICU with a medical problem.
Oh, I'm going to have a heart attack.
Do you have any chest pain? - No.
- Shortness of breath? No.
- Numbness in the left arm? - None.
You're not having a heart attack.
Well, obviously I'm not having one right now.
But I'm definitely gonna have one today.
And you know that how exactly? I'm psychic.
Come on, Chris, you know you're the right man for the job.
I'm gonna have to turn you down.
Sorry.
All right, no hard feelings.
I know you've got ties here.
Well, a tie here.
My old friend, till next time.
What did you just turn down? Uh, Ramsey asked me to head up an international relief hospital in Afghanistan.
What did you do to him? You don't think that's a good idea? - We're still at war, right? - Yeah.
Then, no, I don't think it's a good idea.
And I've had fantasies about wanting to hurt you, Chris, but I don't want you to get beheaded.
I'm not gonna get beheaded.
It's a civilian hospital.
I mean, you know, there's lots of blood and infectious diseases and kids in the street that get caught in the crossfire.
And then you save one of them and you feel like, oh, my life has meaning, a purpose.
It sounds like you want to go.
I'm just telling you what the job is.
No, I'm sold.
I get it.
What's keeping you here? Dr.
Sands, a building collapsed a couple blocks away.
Possible crush injury to two boys.
Veronica's trapped with them.
You've got to be kidding me.
I mean, I'm sorry.
Is she all right? Okay, let's go.
Hello.
Hey, what are you doing? You want to grab some lunch? Hey.
Are you here? Yeah, I'm here.
There's a bunch of guys working up here.
And they're gonna get you out, but it's gonna take a while.
- You okay? - No.
It's getting a little tight down here.
How 'bout you throw down a handful of Xanax? You made a joke.
That's a good sign.
I wasn't kidding.
Okay, well, they're working to shore up the exterior walls.
If those collapse, things are gonna get a lot worse.
Great.
What about the snakes? When are they coming? Tell me about the kid's arm.
Hey, they dropped an air hose! Hey, maybe we'll be on the news.
Jonah, head in the game.
Hey, so his arm is crushed and pinned at mid humerus.
He's in a lot of pain.
There's no distal pulses.
There's no circulation.
He's gonna lose his arm.
Okay, so what do I do? Well, you could amputate.
Have you lost your mind? By the time we get through there down to you, his arm's gonna be dead.
If you amputate now, we could try for replantation.
It's the best chance you have of saving him.
No, Chris, I don't I don't think I can do that.
Sure you can.
We're gonna find a hole, and we're gonna send down some morphine and surgical instruments.
Chris listen, Veronica, you can do this.
Here's what's going on.
The doctors up top are real concerned about your arm.
It's so crushed that you're losing circulation.
So what we're gonna do is take it off so that we can put it back on later.
No, no, please.
You can't take off my arm.
You're gonna be okay.
Haven't you ever seen the empire strikes back? Luke Skywalker got his hand put right back on.
Yeah, that wasn't his hand though.
They put a robot hand on him.
Hey, Jonah, why don't you shut up? Okay, we just sent down the gigli saw.
Okay.
Jonah, you're gonna be my nurse.
I don't wanna be the nurse.
I wanna be the doctor.
No way.
Nurses are way cooler than doctors.
Doctors are a-holes, take it from me.
I can hear you.
Hmm.
Okay, put your gloves on.
Now, Patrick, you're gonna have to be brave, but I know you can do it.
- Is it gonna hurt? - No.
Just a little pinch.
There you go.
You're gonna get sleepy.
All right, ketamine's on board.
Okay, make a circular incision right down to the bone.
Go right next to the I-beam and keep the stump as long as possible.
Have you ever done this before? She knows this procedure.
We did a whole bunch of these in Iraq.
- You guys were in the war? - Cool.
All right, Jonah, there's gonna be a lot of blood.
So I'm gonna need you to squeeze around his upper arm as hard as you can.
Okay, after you do the incision, there's gonna be three pumpers radial, ulnar, brachial.
You gotta get hemostats on them as fast as you can.
I'm gonna make the incision.
Whoa.
Hey, Chlo, how you doing? How's Andy? He's still in surgery.
I never should have interfered.
Hey, you were trying to do the right thing.
But if I hadn't told his coach, then he wouldn't have gone to Delaney's, and he wouldn't have gotten so angry, and he wouldn't have hit his head.
Chloe, craniotomy went well.
He opened his eyes.
We're nowhere near out of the woods, but it's a lot better than expected.
Good call.
That's great.
Thanks, Joe.
You okay? Huh? Have you, you know, eaten something today? Uh, I don't know.
No.
Well, then um, make sure she eats something.
Really? You're selling the Porsche? Don't tell me you're the buyer.
- Why? - Jules, you were there.
You heard your dad say cough up a million dollars, so I'm having a garage sale.
Okay, so give me a good price.
Dom is threatening to take away my medical license.
I don't have time to fool around.
Give me the keys, let me check it out.
Ah, we did have some fun in this car.
Oh.
Remember driving out to the Hamptons, going, like, 120? Oh, God, I remember that cop that pulled us over.
As soon as he saw your license, I thought he was gonna wash our windows.
Yeah.
I always did get you out of trouble.
I can now.
Look, Jules, we had a good run, all right? But I'm a different person now.
I just think we're a bad influence on each other.
You have to admit, I mean, we did have some chemistry.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- I'll give you that.
- Okay.
And you don't miss us at all? No.
Really? Not at all.
Not even a little.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Jules, Jules, hold on.
What? When did you become such a priss? You can't even see through the windows.
It's not that.
It's just you're gonna buy the car, right? You are unbelievable.
Really? Yes, I will buy the car.
Now shut up.
Jules, Jules, hold on.
You're not stopping, huh? Joe? Are you in there, Joe? Hey.
Dan, what's up? I understand you're selling a katana? Yeah, come see me later about it.
As any worthy enthusiast would, of course I've read my yamato yeah, Dan, really not a good time.
But if it is, as advertised, an authentic shinshinto era sword, I Joe, are you all right? I'll send a cashier's check.
Oh, man, don't you guys have a power saw for that? Not today.
Oh, man, gross.
Okay, through the bone, Chris.
Crap.
I think we lost a hemostat.
It looks like a big pumper.
Pulse is weak.
He may need fluids.
I can't move him like this.
Listen to me, is it medial or lateral side? Uh, medial.
Superficial or deep? Superficial.
Okay, it's the superior ulnar collateral artery.
Find the biggest vein, the basilic, you got that? I think I got it.
Below that's the ulnar nerve.
Under that, take a big bite of the triceps.
I think I got it.
Yeah, I got it.
I got it, Chris.
You're in charge of the arm, okay? Do you smell smoke? Yeah.
I do.
Hey, Chris, there's smoke.
Hey, Chris, what's going on? Hello? Battery's dead.
Hey, how the hell'd the fire start? Get me a company on exposure four.
It could have been electrical.
It could have been solvents or old paint.
Is it gonna be okay? My wife's in there.
We got a third hose on the north side.
Look, we're doing the best we can.
Bad news.
You're gonna be the bearer of bad news.
Like right now.
You were wrong, Evelyn.
You're not having a heart attack.
It's true, Evelyn.
Sinus rhythm at 80.
No ectopy.
No ST segment or T wave abnormalities.
This is a completely normal EKG.
Yep, time to go, but you probably already knew that 'cause you're psychic.
You really should come in for a reading sometime.
Well, I would but I had a bad experience with a Ouija board, so You know, it really bothers him that you're so cynical.
You guys are really gonna have to work on that.
Bothers who? What are you talking about? Look out! Oh! Ahh! Need a crash cart.
She's in "V" fib.
Charge to 360.
Clear.
I got a pulse.
Not a heart attack, but close.
Crazy bitch was right.
Huh, kinda feel bad now.
Hey, Tom.
Hey.
You have it? Yep, I got it.
Whoa, whoa, watch it, man.
I'm gonna propose today.
It's a ring, Tom.
So talk to me, man.
Tell me about this ring.
Any bad juju? It is my grandmother's.
Yeah, my grandfather proposed right before he was sent off to Iwo Jima.
It was a suicide mission.
My grandmother never took that ring off even though he was missing ten months.
They were married 57 years.
That's beautiful, man.
Yeah.
Cash or check? They pulled the air hose! Just trying to put the fire out.
Do you see any other openings? Over here, over here.
I can't breathe.
Here.
Take that, put it over your mouth like this.
It'll help filter the smoke.
Jonah.
Jonah, wake up.
Come on, sweetie.
We can't breathe! We're dying down here! Stay low.
Are we gonna die? Jonah, wake up.
Jonah.
Jonah, come on.
Help! Hey! We're over here! Okay, okay.
How do you get into these situations? I don't know.
I I saw a chair.
Okay.
All right.
Are you open to some feedback? I don't know what you're talking about.
I'm psychic.
And when you were a little girl, somebody touched you, and it wasn't okay.
No, that didn't happen at all, but thank you for the uncomfortable and inaccurate feedback.
Hi.
What do you want? You are not my only patient.
I can't eat this food.
- Where's my Vicodin? - You don't get Vicodin.
But I can get you some motrin.
Stupid nurse.
- Oh.
- Hi.
I just heard about what happened.
I can't believe we didn't know.
No, I'm fine.
How's Andy? Briggs said he'd page me if there's a change, but right now he's doing better.
Great.
Do you guys want to get a drink after this? Yeah, good idea.
You should definitely go pound some alcohol tonight.
Hey, girls, do you mind if we No, you can have her.
Bye.
Okay.
Deep breath for me.
How's Patrick? Surgery's going great.
He should have return of function after a lot of therapy.
- That's great.
- Yeah.
Hey, you know, um, thanks for talking me through today.
I don't know what I woulda done without you.
Another deep breath.
Okay.
Your wheezing has resolved.
Means your carbon monoxide is back to normal.
So you can go home.
Thanks.
What? Oh, hey.
Here is your sandwich.
They didn't have Turkey so What? I almost die and I can't have a Turkey sandwich? Would you let me finish? I got you a Turkey sandwich.
Just had to go to a different place is all.
Okay, well, I should go check back in on Patrick, just giving you the update.
Wait, hey.
Are you sure that's all? Yeah.
It was it was great working with you today, Veronica.
Yeah? Turned out okay.
What is it? What's happening? Then his ICP went through the roof and he blew a pupil.
Did you take him back to the O.
R.
? He failed his apnea test.
No electrical activity in the E.
E.
G.
No cerebral blood flow.
He's brain dead.
I'm sorry, Chloe.
Mr.
and Mrs.
Wescott.
I'm Chloe Payne.
I was I was a friend of Andy's.
Chloe, of course.
Andy told us so much about you.
I'm so sorry.
You meant a lot to him.
He was such a nice boy, Mrs.
Wescott.
Andy had said he wanted to be an organ donor, and they won't let us be there when that happens.
I know he's gone.
In my head, I know that.
But the thought of him being all by himself when they I could be with him.
I can do that.
I'm still his nurse.
Thank you.
I've had three drinks, and I don't feel anything.
Welcome to my world.
I don't know if I can do this anymore.
Do what? Be a nurse.
You made it better today, Chloe.
You made it better for his parents.
Hey.
Hey, guys.
Sonia, you got a second? Yeah, I do.
Hey, how are you doing? It's good to see you.
Yeah.
These are for you.
Paperwork for the restraining order against Paul Kempton.
Paperwork, right.
Business.
What'd you think it was gonna be? I don't know, Nick.
Tickets to the Bahamas, mix CD, a card saying, "let's get back together.
" What's it gonna take? I can't come up with new, better, different ways to apologize.
Sonia, you made a chump outta me.
And the only excuse you ever managed to come up with is that you got scared, and that really sucks - and it's not good enough.
- I know.
I don't need you to apologize anymore.
It's humiliating for both of us.
I just I need to know that the next time you get scared you're not gonna go and get naked with the first rich guy you see.
No.
No, it's you.
I just want you.
That's a long-ass kiss.
Yeah, it is.
I gotta go check on my porn boys.
Come on, Chloe.
I'm taking you home.
No, I'm good.
Thanks.
What do you mean what do you mean I have to pay taxes on everything? That's a $300,000 oversight, Norm.
I can't go to these people and ask them for more time.
This is my medical license we're talking about, okay? If I'm not a doctor, I'm nothing.
I don't have any other options.
I'm screwed, and you're fired.
Hey, Payne.
You did good today.
You were thinking clearly, you didn't let your emotions get in the way, and you were aggressive with your ideas.
It didn't work.
That's the thing about hail marys, they usually don't.
Sometimes they do.
They just they just kept telling me how much I meant to him.
I just felt so horrible, because half the time I was with Andy, I was trying to get out of it.
I just think he'd have been so much better off had he not met me.
Come here.
Person Hey, hey, hey.
And he just didn't deserve that.
Shh, shh, shh.
Payne, a girl like you, you're a whole life.
I don't know what that means.
It means you're levels above the rest of us, okay? The heart you have, how you care about people, not everybody has that, believe me.
Listen.
I can't imagine anybody being better off not knowing you.
I gotta go.
Ha.
Tom, yeah, listen, it's Joe Briggs.
Listen, I need that ring back.
Oh.
Hello, psychic.
I'm sorry about today.
I'm I'm usually right on.
Oh, he's the one that got touched.
- What? - Nothing.
I don't do negative readings.
You can't just say something like that and walk away.
Okay.
Okay.
Things are gonna change.
What does that even mean, things are gonna things are always changing.
Things are changing right now.
You're walking away from me.
See, things have changed.
Hi, Dan.
What are you doing here so late? What do you think? He's thrown off the whole rotation.
It's a complete disaster.
What are you talking about? Chris Sands, he resigned today.
I think there's still some ice cream cake in the freezer.
What do you mean, he resigned? Are you kidding? He didn't tell you? His plane left for Afghanistan an hour ago.
No.
Nobody told me.
And there's ice cream cake in the freezer? What are you even saying to me? All right, calm down, Veronica, please.
Dan, I don't understand.
He just left? And he didn't say good-bye? That's crazy, right? He just he just went into a war zone and didn't even mention it? I guess he moved on.
But Oh! Yes! Bobby, that box is marked "fragile.
" That's just great.
Ryan tripped me with his giant foot.
All right, guys.
Hey, should we go on a beer run? No, let's just get this done without breaking anything else.
Okay, bed's all put together.
Come on.
All right, look it.
Hey, hey, hey.
Oh! - Good.
- Yeah.
Thank you.
Pick up the mattress, dummies.
Oh, yeah.
Watch it.
Hey.
Hey, this is a nice bed.
Where'd you get the bed? Heather and Tim.
We got a California king.
So now Heather won't ever have to touch me again.
Gross.
They had sex on this bed.
Yeah, twice a year, whether we wanted to or not.
Why'd she get the bed, man? I'm still sleeping on a futon.
You know I have a bad back.
Dude! Ryan! - Oh, my God.
- Nice.
I'm sorry, I just sat on it.
No! God! I can't believe you just okay, out.
I just sat on it.
I'm sorry.
I didn't do anything.
Everybody, get out now.
I can't deal with you anymore.
Just leave.
And leave the beer.
Leave everything.
Bye.
Out now, please.
Don't forget to lock the door at night.
I'll be fine.
Call if you need anything, huh? Yeah, I'll be okay, dad.
Maybe somebody should sit with you tonight.
Are you gonna call that doctor guy? Oh, no.
He left.
Like, for good.
He went back to Afghanistan to run a hospital.
Is he crazy? It's what he wanted to do, I guess.
I'm sorry, sweetie.
You know, this might sound unreasonable, but I was kinda hoping he'd just, like, wait around patiently until I decided what I wanted to do.
Is that wrong? Well, he's a man.
You know, he's gotta do what he needs to do.
Yeah, yeah.
I guess I was just hoping for a little more time.
More time.
Yeah, that's what we all want, huh? You know, people come in and out of your life and that's just how it is.
Sometimes they surprise you, and they come back.
The ones who don't, well, you just miss 'em.
You just gotta live in, you know, the moment.
You know, be grateful for what you got.
Yeah.
I know.
This is a sweet little place.
I got a good feeling about what's ahead.
I am very proud of you, Veronica Flanagan.
Thanks, dad.
Yeah.
Hi.
Hi.
I'm looking for Dr.
Briggs.
Yeah, he'll be right back.
Are you a nurse? Yeah, I'm Chloe.
Juliana Fattore.
- Fattore.
- Yeah, Joe's fiancée.
Can't believe I'm saying that out loud for the first time, but it just happened.
Wanna see the ring? Yeah.
Wow.
- Yeah.
- That's a ring.
- Isn't that great? - Yeah, it's it's great.
Oh, Joe.
Hi, I'm sorry.
I'm just being a girl.
Oh, great, so you've met.
It's a beautiful ring.
- Congratulations.
- Thanks.
Excuse me.
What's wrong? Chlo-bug, you in there? Screw it.
I'm gonna go to medical school.
Huh? I'm gonna be a doctor.
Mike.
Hey, I heard your brothers broke your bed.
I'll come over and fix it.
No, no, you don't have to do that.
I can do it myself.
Come on, this apartment's a big step for you.
Let me just come over and help.
Yeah, okay, moving's a bitch.
You want me to pick up some Chinese food? Yes, yes.
But can you get the green beans with no oil and also the Kung pao chicken, I know.
I'll get extra spicy, I got it.
Okay, but give me an hour.
I'm gonna take a bath.
Oh, I better come over now then.
Mike.
I'll see you soon.
Are you seeing this? We are hearing reports now that the Pakistani Taliban is claiming responsibility for the terrorist attack that occurred just moments ago.
It is the latest attack in a surge of violence in that region, following the recent Pakistani crackdown on Al-Qaeda and the Taliban.
For those of you who may just be tuning in, dozens are feared dead after a suicide bomber attack at Peshawar international airport.
Passengers on a plane originating in New York had just arrived when the bomb was detonated.
Among those still unaccounted for are American relief workers en route to Afghanistan.
Hey, do you need some help? No, we're fine.
Why don't you let her answer? Excuse me? Hey, watch it!
I saw gang graffiti outside.
Where? I don't know, but it's there.
I saw it.
So don't take the stupid apartment then.
Stop trying to sell it to me.
I'm trying to make you feel good about you know what, forget it.
You're a grown woman living with your parents.
Enjoy.
What is your problem? Are you on your period? Just give me five seconds.
It's a big decision.
Walk-in closet, huge.
Thought you might like to know, jerk.
So I'm not gonna take it.
Why not? Because.
Oh, because.
Why don't you make a case for why you don't want a beautiful one-bedroom apartment of your own? Reason one, I currently live rent-free.
Reason two, my laundry always gets done, there's always food in the fridge at no additional charge.
Reason three, my father is very sick, and my mom's a flake who can't take care of him by herself.
What are you writing? Oh, just keep going.
Mike found the apartment for me, - so I feel weird taking it.
- Why? Because what's the point of getting divorced if you're gonna act married? Separate issue.
Stay with the apartment.
And I don't have any furniture.
So your reasons are financial insecurity.
You are afraid to take responsibility for yourself.
You're afraid your father won't be okay without your help.
You don't want to accept help, and you're afraid of change.
I'm also afraid of goblins.
Have you ever lived alone? No.
Yes, hi.
This is Veronica Callahan.
We spoke about the one-bedroom.
I'd like to rent it.
Hey! Hey, lady, up here! - Up here! We need some help! - What? My friend's hurt.
He's hurt really bad.
- We need help.
- Okay, don't move.
I'll be right up.
- Hey! - Lady, up here.
Jeez.
- Where's your friend? - I'll show you.
Oh.
Hey.
What happened? Think I did something to my knee.
It was crazy.
We were up there in the crawl space, and then the whole thing just caved in.
You're lucky.
I'm a nurse.
Ahh.
What's your name? Patrick.
You broke your kneecap.
Okay.
It won't hurt as much if I can make you a splint.
Hey, you, other kid.
Jonah.
Jonah, get me another piece of wood.
So you guys come here to smoke and look at dirty magazines? Nice.
I hope it was worth it.
This is gonna take six weeks to heal.
We gotta get out of here.
Come on, I'll help you.
I got you.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, this way.
I gotta get my magazines.
There's plenty of porn in the world, kid.
No reason to die for boobs you can't touch.
Follow me.
Hey lady.
Lady, are you awake? - How long was I out? - I don't know.
Are you okay? Where's Patrick? He's stuck.
He's over there.
Show me.
He can't get his arm out.
Hey, Patrick.
Hey.
How you doing, buddy? It hurts.
Oh, man, I bet it does.
We gotta get you outta here.
There's no way out.
I already looked.
Do you have a phone? My mom won't let me have one.
All right, let's find mine.
It's in my purse.
What color's your purse? It's black.
Great.
Can you imagine? It's been 12 hours.
He's still unconscious.
Diffuse cerebral edema.
We've tried cooling catheter, magnesium, mannitol, nothing's worked.
I read about his previous concussions.
He must have taken one hell of a hit.
It was an accident.
What about a craniotomy? Yeah, right.
The army's been doing craniotomies for brain swelling.
I know you had a relationship with him, but I'm not comfortable taking off half his skull without a clear-cut indication.
The medical therapy isn't working.
Nurse, with the prolonged elevation and ICP, his brain is toast.
Carlson, she's looking for solutions here.
A craniotomy would definitely lower the pressure in his brain, which directly correlates with increased survival.
If you want to pass, that's fine.
I've got a friend at Robert wood Johnson who'd be more than happy to do it.
Okay, fine.
But I gotta tell you, I'm not optimistic.
Thank you.
Chloe We're gonna do everything we can.
Sorry, I gotta take this.
Norm, talk to me.
Don't tell me 750.
What do you want, a cookie? I said a million.
Keep liquidating.
Find an I.
A.
to roll over.
Meanwhile, I'm selling all my stuff.
Yeah, I got some nibbles on the samurai sword and the Porsche, whatever else I have that's worth anything.
Yes, I said a samurai sword.
Well, if you must know, Norm, it's because I happen to live by the samurai code of Bushido, which is Japanese for " kicking ass with honor.
" Is that acceptable to you, Norm? 'Cause I don't bust your balls about those stupid stuffed owls you got perched all over your office, do I? Whoa, whoa, whoa, be careful, doc.
We're doing some electrical work here.
Norm, go through the couch in your office.
Turn your mom upside down and shake out some gold fillings.
I don't care.
Figure it out, Mr.
5%.
Okay.
Okay, okay.
So we're not we're not gonna do that one then.
Nope.
Okay.
Everybody stay calm.
The worst thing you can do in these situations is panic.
So just calm down.
Where is it? Find my bag.
I got it, I got it.
I got it.
All right.
Wow, you got a lot of crap in here, lady.
Give me that.
Hello.
- Hey.
- Mike.
So what'd you decide about the apartment? I'm in a collapsed building with a couple of kids.
What? What are you saying? I you're breaking up.
One of them has a crush injury, and there's a beam, I can't get it off.
Okay, where? Give me the address.
Sip Ave and Corbin, right near Mercy.
I'm in the basement.
Mike? Hello? Damn it! Um, excuse me.
What's happening here? Oh, I just checked myself in.
I took the elevator up, and I found the first open room, and I'm Evelyn, by the way.
You have to be admitted to the ICU with a medical problem.
Oh, I'm going to have a heart attack.
Do you have any chest pain? - No.
- Shortness of breath? No.
- Numbness in the left arm? - None.
You're not having a heart attack.
Well, obviously I'm not having one right now.
But I'm definitely gonna have one today.
And you know that how exactly? I'm psychic.
Come on, Chris, you know you're the right man for the job.
I'm gonna have to turn you down.
Sorry.
All right, no hard feelings.
I know you've got ties here.
Well, a tie here.
My old friend, till next time.
What did you just turn down? Uh, Ramsey asked me to head up an international relief hospital in Afghanistan.
What did you do to him? You don't think that's a good idea? - We're still at war, right? - Yeah.
Then, no, I don't think it's a good idea.
And I've had fantasies about wanting to hurt you, Chris, but I don't want you to get beheaded.
I'm not gonna get beheaded.
It's a civilian hospital.
I mean, you know, there's lots of blood and infectious diseases and kids in the street that get caught in the crossfire.
And then you save one of them and you feel like, oh, my life has meaning, a purpose.
It sounds like you want to go.
I'm just telling you what the job is.
No, I'm sold.
I get it.
What's keeping you here? Dr.
Sands, a building collapsed a couple blocks away.
Possible crush injury to two boys.
Veronica's trapped with them.
You've got to be kidding me.
I mean, I'm sorry.
Is she all right? Okay, let's go.
Hello.
Hey, what are you doing? You want to grab some lunch? Hey.
Are you here? Yeah, I'm here.
There's a bunch of guys working up here.
And they're gonna get you out, but it's gonna take a while.
- You okay? - No.
It's getting a little tight down here.
How 'bout you throw down a handful of Xanax? You made a joke.
That's a good sign.
I wasn't kidding.
Okay, well, they're working to shore up the exterior walls.
If those collapse, things are gonna get a lot worse.
Great.
What about the snakes? When are they coming? Tell me about the kid's arm.
Hey, they dropped an air hose! Hey, maybe we'll be on the news.
Jonah, head in the game.
Hey, so his arm is crushed and pinned at mid humerus.
He's in a lot of pain.
There's no distal pulses.
There's no circulation.
He's gonna lose his arm.
Okay, so what do I do? Well, you could amputate.
Have you lost your mind? By the time we get through there down to you, his arm's gonna be dead.
If you amputate now, we could try for replantation.
It's the best chance you have of saving him.
No, Chris, I don't I don't think I can do that.
Sure you can.
We're gonna find a hole, and we're gonna send down some morphine and surgical instruments.
Chris listen, Veronica, you can do this.
Here's what's going on.
The doctors up top are real concerned about your arm.
It's so crushed that you're losing circulation.
So what we're gonna do is take it off so that we can put it back on later.
No, no, please.
You can't take off my arm.
You're gonna be okay.
Haven't you ever seen the empire strikes back? Luke Skywalker got his hand put right back on.
Yeah, that wasn't his hand though.
They put a robot hand on him.
Hey, Jonah, why don't you shut up? Okay, we just sent down the gigli saw.
Okay.
Jonah, you're gonna be my nurse.
I don't wanna be the nurse.
I wanna be the doctor.
No way.
Nurses are way cooler than doctors.
Doctors are a-holes, take it from me.
I can hear you.
Hmm.
Okay, put your gloves on.
Now, Patrick, you're gonna have to be brave, but I know you can do it.
- Is it gonna hurt? - No.
Just a little pinch.
There you go.
You're gonna get sleepy.
All right, ketamine's on board.
Okay, make a circular incision right down to the bone.
Go right next to the I-beam and keep the stump as long as possible.
Have you ever done this before? She knows this procedure.
We did a whole bunch of these in Iraq.
- You guys were in the war? - Cool.
All right, Jonah, there's gonna be a lot of blood.
So I'm gonna need you to squeeze around his upper arm as hard as you can.
Okay, after you do the incision, there's gonna be three pumpers radial, ulnar, brachial.
You gotta get hemostats on them as fast as you can.
I'm gonna make the incision.
Whoa.
Hey, Chlo, how you doing? How's Andy? He's still in surgery.
I never should have interfered.
Hey, you were trying to do the right thing.
But if I hadn't told his coach, then he wouldn't have gone to Delaney's, and he wouldn't have gotten so angry, and he wouldn't have hit his head.
Chloe, craniotomy went well.
He opened his eyes.
We're nowhere near out of the woods, but it's a lot better than expected.
Good call.
That's great.
Thanks, Joe.
You okay? Huh? Have you, you know, eaten something today? Uh, I don't know.
No.
Well, then um, make sure she eats something.
Really? You're selling the Porsche? Don't tell me you're the buyer.
- Why? - Jules, you were there.
You heard your dad say cough up a million dollars, so I'm having a garage sale.
Okay, so give me a good price.
Dom is threatening to take away my medical license.
I don't have time to fool around.
Give me the keys, let me check it out.
Ah, we did have some fun in this car.
Oh.
Remember driving out to the Hamptons, going, like, 120? Oh, God, I remember that cop that pulled us over.
As soon as he saw your license, I thought he was gonna wash our windows.
Yeah.
I always did get you out of trouble.
I can now.
Look, Jules, we had a good run, all right? But I'm a different person now.
I just think we're a bad influence on each other.
You have to admit, I mean, we did have some chemistry.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- I'll give you that.
- Okay.
And you don't miss us at all? No.
Really? Not at all.
Not even a little.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Jules, Jules, hold on.
What? When did you become such a priss? You can't even see through the windows.
It's not that.
It's just you're gonna buy the car, right? You are unbelievable.
Really? Yes, I will buy the car.
Now shut up.
Jules, Jules, hold on.
You're not stopping, huh? Joe? Are you in there, Joe? Hey.
Dan, what's up? I understand you're selling a katana? Yeah, come see me later about it.
As any worthy enthusiast would, of course I've read my yamato yeah, Dan, really not a good time.
But if it is, as advertised, an authentic shinshinto era sword, I Joe, are you all right? I'll send a cashier's check.
Oh, man, don't you guys have a power saw for that? Not today.
Oh, man, gross.
Okay, through the bone, Chris.
Crap.
I think we lost a hemostat.
It looks like a big pumper.
Pulse is weak.
He may need fluids.
I can't move him like this.
Listen to me, is it medial or lateral side? Uh, medial.
Superficial or deep? Superficial.
Okay, it's the superior ulnar collateral artery.
Find the biggest vein, the basilic, you got that? I think I got it.
Below that's the ulnar nerve.
Under that, take a big bite of the triceps.
I think I got it.
Yeah, I got it.
I got it, Chris.
You're in charge of the arm, okay? Do you smell smoke? Yeah.
I do.
Hey, Chris, there's smoke.
Hey, Chris, what's going on? Hello? Battery's dead.
Hey, how the hell'd the fire start? Get me a company on exposure four.
It could have been electrical.
It could have been solvents or old paint.
Is it gonna be okay? My wife's in there.
We got a third hose on the north side.
Look, we're doing the best we can.
Bad news.
You're gonna be the bearer of bad news.
Like right now.
You were wrong, Evelyn.
You're not having a heart attack.
It's true, Evelyn.
Sinus rhythm at 80.
No ectopy.
No ST segment or T wave abnormalities.
This is a completely normal EKG.
Yep, time to go, but you probably already knew that 'cause you're psychic.
You really should come in for a reading sometime.
Well, I would but I had a bad experience with a Ouija board, so You know, it really bothers him that you're so cynical.
You guys are really gonna have to work on that.
Bothers who? What are you talking about? Look out! Oh! Ahh! Need a crash cart.
She's in "V" fib.
Charge to 360.
Clear.
I got a pulse.
Not a heart attack, but close.
Crazy bitch was right.
Huh, kinda feel bad now.
Hey, Tom.
Hey.
You have it? Yep, I got it.
Whoa, whoa, watch it, man.
I'm gonna propose today.
It's a ring, Tom.
So talk to me, man.
Tell me about this ring.
Any bad juju? It is my grandmother's.
Yeah, my grandfather proposed right before he was sent off to Iwo Jima.
It was a suicide mission.
My grandmother never took that ring off even though he was missing ten months.
They were married 57 years.
That's beautiful, man.
Yeah.
Cash or check? They pulled the air hose! Just trying to put the fire out.
Do you see any other openings? Over here, over here.
I can't breathe.
Here.
Take that, put it over your mouth like this.
It'll help filter the smoke.
Jonah.
Jonah, wake up.
Come on, sweetie.
We can't breathe! We're dying down here! Stay low.
Are we gonna die? Jonah, wake up.
Jonah.
Jonah, come on.
Help! Hey! We're over here! Okay, okay.
How do you get into these situations? I don't know.
I I saw a chair.
Okay.
All right.
Are you open to some feedback? I don't know what you're talking about.
I'm psychic.
And when you were a little girl, somebody touched you, and it wasn't okay.
No, that didn't happen at all, but thank you for the uncomfortable and inaccurate feedback.
Hi.
What do you want? You are not my only patient.
I can't eat this food.
- Where's my Vicodin? - You don't get Vicodin.
But I can get you some motrin.
Stupid nurse.
- Oh.
- Hi.
I just heard about what happened.
I can't believe we didn't know.
No, I'm fine.
How's Andy? Briggs said he'd page me if there's a change, but right now he's doing better.
Great.
Do you guys want to get a drink after this? Yeah, good idea.
You should definitely go pound some alcohol tonight.
Hey, girls, do you mind if we No, you can have her.
Bye.
Okay.
Deep breath for me.
How's Patrick? Surgery's going great.
He should have return of function after a lot of therapy.
- That's great.
- Yeah.
Hey, you know, um, thanks for talking me through today.
I don't know what I woulda done without you.
Another deep breath.
Okay.
Your wheezing has resolved.
Means your carbon monoxide is back to normal.
So you can go home.
Thanks.
What? Oh, hey.
Here is your sandwich.
They didn't have Turkey so What? I almost die and I can't have a Turkey sandwich? Would you let me finish? I got you a Turkey sandwich.
Just had to go to a different place is all.
Okay, well, I should go check back in on Patrick, just giving you the update.
Wait, hey.
Are you sure that's all? Yeah.
It was it was great working with you today, Veronica.
Yeah? Turned out okay.
What is it? What's happening? Then his ICP went through the roof and he blew a pupil.
Did you take him back to the O.
R.
? He failed his apnea test.
No electrical activity in the E.
E.
G.
No cerebral blood flow.
He's brain dead.
I'm sorry, Chloe.
Mr.
and Mrs.
Wescott.
I'm Chloe Payne.
I was I was a friend of Andy's.
Chloe, of course.
Andy told us so much about you.
I'm so sorry.
You meant a lot to him.
He was such a nice boy, Mrs.
Wescott.
Andy had said he wanted to be an organ donor, and they won't let us be there when that happens.
I know he's gone.
In my head, I know that.
But the thought of him being all by himself when they I could be with him.
I can do that.
I'm still his nurse.
Thank you.
I've had three drinks, and I don't feel anything.
Welcome to my world.
I don't know if I can do this anymore.
Do what? Be a nurse.
You made it better today, Chloe.
You made it better for his parents.
Hey.
Hey, guys.
Sonia, you got a second? Yeah, I do.
Hey, how are you doing? It's good to see you.
Yeah.
These are for you.
Paperwork for the restraining order against Paul Kempton.
Paperwork, right.
Business.
What'd you think it was gonna be? I don't know, Nick.
Tickets to the Bahamas, mix CD, a card saying, "let's get back together.
" What's it gonna take? I can't come up with new, better, different ways to apologize.
Sonia, you made a chump outta me.
And the only excuse you ever managed to come up with is that you got scared, and that really sucks - and it's not good enough.
- I know.
I don't need you to apologize anymore.
It's humiliating for both of us.
I just I need to know that the next time you get scared you're not gonna go and get naked with the first rich guy you see.
No.
No, it's you.
I just want you.
That's a long-ass kiss.
Yeah, it is.
I gotta go check on my porn boys.
Come on, Chloe.
I'm taking you home.
No, I'm good.
Thanks.
What do you mean what do you mean I have to pay taxes on everything? That's a $300,000 oversight, Norm.
I can't go to these people and ask them for more time.
This is my medical license we're talking about, okay? If I'm not a doctor, I'm nothing.
I don't have any other options.
I'm screwed, and you're fired.
Hey, Payne.
You did good today.
You were thinking clearly, you didn't let your emotions get in the way, and you were aggressive with your ideas.
It didn't work.
That's the thing about hail marys, they usually don't.
Sometimes they do.
They just they just kept telling me how much I meant to him.
I just felt so horrible, because half the time I was with Andy, I was trying to get out of it.
I just think he'd have been so much better off had he not met me.
Come here.
Person Hey, hey, hey.
And he just didn't deserve that.
Shh, shh, shh.
Payne, a girl like you, you're a whole life.
I don't know what that means.
It means you're levels above the rest of us, okay? The heart you have, how you care about people, not everybody has that, believe me.
Listen.
I can't imagine anybody being better off not knowing you.
I gotta go.
Ha.
Tom, yeah, listen, it's Joe Briggs.
Listen, I need that ring back.
Oh.
Hello, psychic.
I'm sorry about today.
I'm I'm usually right on.
Oh, he's the one that got touched.
- What? - Nothing.
I don't do negative readings.
You can't just say something like that and walk away.
Okay.
Okay.
Things are gonna change.
What does that even mean, things are gonna things are always changing.
Things are changing right now.
You're walking away from me.
See, things have changed.
Hi, Dan.
What are you doing here so late? What do you think? He's thrown off the whole rotation.
It's a complete disaster.
What are you talking about? Chris Sands, he resigned today.
I think there's still some ice cream cake in the freezer.
What do you mean, he resigned? Are you kidding? He didn't tell you? His plane left for Afghanistan an hour ago.
No.
Nobody told me.
And there's ice cream cake in the freezer? What are you even saying to me? All right, calm down, Veronica, please.
Dan, I don't understand.
He just left? And he didn't say good-bye? That's crazy, right? He just he just went into a war zone and didn't even mention it? I guess he moved on.
But Oh! Yes! Bobby, that box is marked "fragile.
" That's just great.
Ryan tripped me with his giant foot.
All right, guys.
Hey, should we go on a beer run? No, let's just get this done without breaking anything else.
Okay, bed's all put together.
Come on.
All right, look it.
Hey, hey, hey.
Oh! - Good.
- Yeah.
Thank you.
Pick up the mattress, dummies.
Oh, yeah.
Watch it.
Hey.
Hey, this is a nice bed.
Where'd you get the bed? Heather and Tim.
We got a California king.
So now Heather won't ever have to touch me again.
Gross.
They had sex on this bed.
Yeah, twice a year, whether we wanted to or not.
Why'd she get the bed, man? I'm still sleeping on a futon.
You know I have a bad back.
Dude! Ryan! - Oh, my God.
- Nice.
I'm sorry, I just sat on it.
No! God! I can't believe you just okay, out.
I just sat on it.
I'm sorry.
I didn't do anything.
Everybody, get out now.
I can't deal with you anymore.
Just leave.
And leave the beer.
Leave everything.
Bye.
Out now, please.
Don't forget to lock the door at night.
I'll be fine.
Call if you need anything, huh? Yeah, I'll be okay, dad.
Maybe somebody should sit with you tonight.
Are you gonna call that doctor guy? Oh, no.
He left.
Like, for good.
He went back to Afghanistan to run a hospital.
Is he crazy? It's what he wanted to do, I guess.
I'm sorry, sweetie.
You know, this might sound unreasonable, but I was kinda hoping he'd just, like, wait around patiently until I decided what I wanted to do.
Is that wrong? Well, he's a man.
You know, he's gotta do what he needs to do.
Yeah, yeah.
I guess I was just hoping for a little more time.
More time.
Yeah, that's what we all want, huh? You know, people come in and out of your life and that's just how it is.
Sometimes they surprise you, and they come back.
The ones who don't, well, you just miss 'em.
You just gotta live in, you know, the moment.
You know, be grateful for what you got.
Yeah.
I know.
This is a sweet little place.
I got a good feeling about what's ahead.
I am very proud of you, Veronica Flanagan.
Thanks, dad.
Yeah.
Hi.
Hi.
I'm looking for Dr.
Briggs.
Yeah, he'll be right back.
Are you a nurse? Yeah, I'm Chloe.
Juliana Fattore.
- Fattore.
- Yeah, Joe's fiancée.
Can't believe I'm saying that out loud for the first time, but it just happened.
Wanna see the ring? Yeah.
Wow.
- Yeah.
- That's a ring.
- Isn't that great? - Yeah, it's it's great.
Oh, Joe.
Hi, I'm sorry.
I'm just being a girl.
Oh, great, so you've met.
It's a beautiful ring.
- Congratulations.
- Thanks.
Excuse me.
What's wrong? Chlo-bug, you in there? Screw it.
I'm gonna go to medical school.
Huh? I'm gonna be a doctor.
Mike.
Hey, I heard your brothers broke your bed.
I'll come over and fix it.
No, no, you don't have to do that.
I can do it myself.
Come on, this apartment's a big step for you.
Let me just come over and help.
Yeah, okay, moving's a bitch.
You want me to pick up some Chinese food? Yes, yes.
But can you get the green beans with no oil and also the Kung pao chicken, I know.
I'll get extra spicy, I got it.
Okay, but give me an hour.
I'm gonna take a bath.
Oh, I better come over now then.
Mike.
I'll see you soon.
Are you seeing this? We are hearing reports now that the Pakistani Taliban is claiming responsibility for the terrorist attack that occurred just moments ago.
It is the latest attack in a surge of violence in that region, following the recent Pakistani crackdown on Al-Qaeda and the Taliban.
For those of you who may just be tuning in, dozens are feared dead after a suicide bomber attack at Peshawar international airport.
Passengers on a plane originating in New York had just arrived when the bomb was detonated.
Among those still unaccounted for are American relief workers en route to Afghanistan.
Hey, do you need some help? No, we're fine.
Why don't you let her answer? Excuse me? Hey, watch it!
