The Night Shift (2014) s04e09 Episode Script
Land of the Free
1 - Still glad you came out here? - Jordan: If I wanna get this combat medical training center off the ground, gotta walk the walk, right? Man: Open it! Open the gate! I will kill him right now! Open the gate now! [Amplified voice.]
This is your last warning! I repeat, this is your last warning! Release the hostage! You're not going anywhere! Open the gate! Open it now, or I'll kill him! I'll cut him up real good! Open it! Man: This is your final warning! I repeat, this is your final warning! - [Grunts.]
- Ready your weapon! [Guns cock.]
Hold your fire! [Tires squeal.]
Stop! Get out of the car! [Grunts.]
[Tires peal.]
[Rapid gunfire.]
[Tires screech.]
- Man: Don't move! Show me your hands! - [Groaning.]
[Continues groaning.]
Rene: Hold up, T.
C.
! Let 'em secure the car first! See that crash? He'd be lucky if he can hold a shiv.
Jeez, he's just as pigheaded as Mac said, huh? Yeah, pretty much.
- [Groaning.]
- Okay.
Come on.
Come here.
I got you.
Come with me.
Come on.
- Ready? - [Groans.]
Okay.
All right, sir, we're trying to help you here, okay? - Aah! Just let me die.
- 'Fraid we can't do that.
All right, G.
S.
W.
grazeto the head.
Yep.
High velocity blunt chest trauma.
- Okay, let's get him on the SAM.
- You got it, you guys.
Hey, Docs, I got another one for you inside.
One of the good ones.
[Man coughing.]
[Baby cries.]
[Indistinct conversations.]
What happened? Son of a bitch stabbed me.
He had a shiv.
Get word to my wife, will you? If this makes the news, she gonna be worried.
Yeah, Don't worry.
We'll make the call.
[Inhales sharply, groans.]
Boy: Someone help! Okay, take him to SAM.
We'll take care of him.
Help! You gotta come! My mom can't breathe! Okay.
Come on, let's go.
[Indistinct conversations.]
- This your mom? - Yeah.
[People coughing in distance.]
Fruity breath.
Diabetic ketoacidosis.
Does your mom take insulin? Why? She's not diabetic.
She is.
She just doesn't know it yet.
And what exactly do you think you're doing? Oh, I'm just saving a woman's life.
This place is a hellhole.
You know that, right? These people all need help.
Yeah.
They'll get it.
Thanks for coming by, Doc.
We've got it from here.
Will you tell them to take the agent back without me? I, uh, I got some work to do here.
Okay.
She's gonna be okay.
[Siren wailing.]
[Groaning.]
Ah, 59.
Not good enough.
59.
Come on! Let's go.
- [Grunts.]
- 59.
[Groaning.]
Nope.
59.
How long are you gonna make him stay on one number? Long as it takes.
[Strained voice.]
This is what they do in Ranger school.
They try to break you.
But I'm not gonna break.
I'm gonna get that tab.
Whoa.
Ted from Accounting's been using his hospital e-mail to send naked pics to his girlfriend.
Hope he's a grow-er, 'cause he ain't a show-er.
[Drew panting.]
Take a look.
Ugh! I don't wanna see that.
Ugh! Stop.
- 60.
Drew, let's go.
- [Drew grunts.]
Please put please put the phone down.
- [Drew grunts.]
- Speaking of naked pics, I hope Paul doesn't have to see anything like this of you and Bella.
Get your mind out of the gutter.
We don't do that.
We're just friends.
Uh-huh.
- [Groans.]
- Sure you are.
- Thanks for the workout.
- [Grunts.]
- [Siren wailing.]
- All right, let's go, boys.
[Wailing continues.]
Drew, ICE agent.
Multiple stab wounds to the flank and abdomen.
Vitals are stable.
I'm Dr.
Alister.
Let's get you checked out.
What happened? Got between a psychopath and innocent people.
The psychopath won.
Not by the looks of it.
All right, let's go Trauma 2.
[Grunting.]
I'll kill you! Aah! - This the guy from the rollover? - Yes, and the accident happened after he got shot in a standoff with the cops.
Look at you, being all Rambo Doc.
Aah! You can't take me back! - Take it easy, all right? - Like this the whole ride over.
- Take him to 1! - [Grunts.]
- Where's Cain? - I gave him the night off.
He's gonna be working double while Drew's gone.
I'll kill you! Aah! Aah! T.
C.
: Female, 30s.
DKA and a fever.
She's pretty sick.
She needs a central line and possibly intubation.
- Take her to Exam 1.
- Got it.
Hey, what's your name, little man? Angel.
Okay, great.
Straight through.
Hey, Dispatch said you were bringing in - one woman and her kid.
- Yeah.
Plans changed.
The bus just pulled up.
Where do you want 'em? - Bus? What bus? - You know what? You set up triage in the ambulance bay right over there.
How many do you have? 47.
And I want my measles booster first.
- Measles? What the - Scott, just Dr.
Callahan, can I talk to you for a minute, please? Sure.
Hey, Kenny, can you take care of this gentleman? - Set him up in an exam room? - Yeah, will do.
Hey.
I know what measles looks like.
None of these people have measles.
Hey, Scott, look, I need you to look at all these people.
Okay, the woman I just brought in with her son is suffering from septic shock.
Okay, they've been in that place for God knows how long, catching God knows what, and they're all scheduled to be deported tonight.
Okay, who knows which of them are gonna survive? We can't can't just let these people suffer.
[Siren wailing in distance.]
You're right.
Really? 'Cause I thought you were gonna fight me on this.
Hey, you don't own the moral compass for the world, T.
C.
The least we can do is give them some basic care before they get shipped off.
I just could've used a heads-up.
Mollie? - Set up the bay for holding.
- Yeah.
Hey, T.
C.
, where do you stand on Jordan's combat training proposal? Colonel Parnell's coming by in the morning to hear our presentation, and we really need you.
"We"? You you you wanted me to quit two weeks ago.
Okay.
Yeah, well, things change.
And hey.
Hey! Any news about Annie from the P.
I.
you hired? No.
Look, when Annie doesn't want to be found, - she can't be tracked down.
- We got more coming in! Scott, can you take care of all this - so I can go check on Romero? - Yeah.
Go, go.
Trauma 4.
[Indistinct conversations.]
- [Groans.]
- Tony, you gotta hold him.
- I got him.
- [Groans.]
Don't touch me, bitch.
Get off me.
I got this.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! [Groans.]
[Groans, grunts.]
I can't believe he survived an accident like that.
Mm there we go.
And he's out.
Okay.
It's always the creeps that land on their feet.
Yeah.
Yeah, and we need more doctors who are prepared to deal with them.
- Oh, subtle.
- Mm.
I was just talking to Scott.
He's very gung ho about this whole combat training situation.
Yeah.
So was Syd when I talked to her two days ago.
Yeah.
She keeps calling me, like, 50 times a day.
- Wants us to run it together.
- So does the Army.
[Exhales.]
It's the centerpiece of our presentation.
A man and woman with combat medical training experience teaching everything they know to other Army medics and docs.
But we're not gonna get the contract without you.
Tee, I don't ask you for much, but I really want this to happen.
Jordan, I know, but I made a commitment - To Amira.
Yes, I know.
- No, no, no.
To Syria.
Okay, look, how about I just help launch the program at the beginning? No long-term commitment.
Just help get people interested.
No long-term commitment, huh? Well, that doesn't sound like you at all.
- [Laughs.]
- [Laughs.]
All right.
Thank you.
I'll take it.
Yeah.
- Boo! - [Gasps.]
Ah! [Laughs.]
Ah, it's gonna take a lot more drugs to knock me out, sweetheart.
How about you jump in here and pass the time with me, huh? - Yeah, um, I'd rather not.
- [Gloves snap.]
And I have patients that need my help, so when you're ready to be treated, you let me know.
Ohh.
[Speaking indistinctly.]
[Defibrillator whines.]
[Siren wailing.]
Headed to Ranger School, huh? I tried to get my tab when I enlisted back in the day.
Washed out after the first month.
Wasn't tough enough, I guess.
You seem plenty tough to me.
My husband's on SWAT.
I know about the guys he hands over to you.
Yeah, it's no joke.
We get some of the worst.
Hey, uh, you needed a consult for positive FAST? Yeah.
Uh, Max, this is Dr.
Cummings.
Looks like that guy did a number on you.
Cops are guarding Romero, right? He's scum.
That guy is the reason people call us "bad hombres.
" He's been deported a dozen times.
These people come in our country and ruin it.
"These people"? Don't get all P.
C.
on me, Doc.
I'm first gen.
But I did it right.
I'm a good citizen, pay my taxes, follow the rules.
That guy? He's the reason people don't trust guys like me.
Hmm.
I'll take your word for it.
Sounds like you have internal bleeding.
Dr.
Alister, let's get him to C.
T.
I think I pissed him off.
Is he the one gonna operate? Don't worry, he's fine.
He's just a little sensitive.
[Monitor beeping steadily.]
[PA tone sounds.]
Woman: Respiratory nurse to E.
R Maybe a little better bedside manner.
- He is one of the good guys.
- If you say so.
He just got stabbed multiple times trying to keep a drug dealer from escaping.
He deports violent criminals, people who come to this country to commit crimes.
Oh, you mean like that middle schooler T.
C.
brought in and his diabetic mother? They look real violent.
That sucks, all right? But this guy doesn't make the rules.
He's just gotta follow 'em.
A law's a law.
Seriously? "A law is a law"? If that were true, this ER would have been shut down years ago.
- You know what I mean.
- Do I? Drew, how much illegal crap has T.
C.
pulled over the last couple of years? I mean, he was given the option to join the military to avoid jail time, for God sake.
And look what he did with his chance.
Yeah, and that's great, but he got a chance.
Okay? Meanwhile, that Angel kid and others like him who have hurt no one, got no second chance.
My mom is Nigerian, okay? And if she had missed a single filing deadline or hearing, I would have grown up in Lagos.
I grew up literally knowing that I couldn't screw up, because there are no second chances for people who looked like me.
You know, and I'm a citizen.
And I'm rich.
But now you're bringing race into it.
That's an entirely different conversation.
Look, people can see race, and they assume things about folks rocking a year-round tan.
But it it's more than that, okay? it's about what's fair.
You spent years in the closet longer than you had to because you were terrified of people treating you differently.
Okay, you understand that fear, that injustice.
You had a closet.
These people don't.
[PA tone sounds.]
[Sighs deeply.]
Woman: Paging Dr.
Alexander to the ambulance bay.
Dr.
Alexander to the ambulance bay.
[Indistinct conversations.]
Hey, what's up? Hi.
I've got at least five people from the detention center with fever, headache, and neck pain.
Shannon's got a woman in Exam 1 with meningococcal meningitis.
Yeah.
You thinking what I'm thinking? Depending how long they were there, we could have a meningitis outbreak on our hands.
All right.
Jocelyn, Mollie, initiate the protocol.
Everybody here needs masks.
Coughing, breathing, even sneezing can spread this stuff.
Everyone, every last person needs treatment.
Jordan [Stammers.]
I'm sorry.
I-I didn't know.
Hmm.
You always are.
[Siren wailing in distance.]
[Child coughing.]
[Liquid drips, monitor beeping steadily.]
[Breathing shallowly.]
Thanks for helping out.
Jocelyn, send a stat gram stain to confirm meningococcal meningitis.
Good thing we caught it now.
An early sign is the purpura fulminas here.
I'll have an ISO room set up for her in the ICU.
In the meantime, you need to get yourself some Cipro ASAP.
What about her diabetes? How is that gonna affect her condition? Well, not to get too technical, but she has something called DKA that's diabetic ketoacidosis.
Treatment which can lead to hypoglycemia, cerebral edema.
- Yeah, I know.
- Whoa.
How'd you know all that? I'm gonna be a doctor.
Well, you're gonna be a good one.
The nurse gave me this tablet to play games on, but.
.
I'd rather do research.
So [Sighs.]
is she gonna die? The website says meningitis is fatal.
Angel, when you become a doctor, you'll realize websites don't treat patients we do.
And we're gonna do everything we can for your mom, okay? You didn't answer my question.
You can't let her die.
She's all I got.
My dad he's not nice.
You can't let anything happen to her.
Promise me.
Okay.
I promise.
Jordan: Okay, we have no idea how extensive this is.
Anyone with whom meningitis is expected should get treatment.
Start them on droplet precautions.
Anyone with close contact gets prophylaxis.
- Even those with vaccinations? - Yes.
Absolutely.
They can carry the bacteria and still spread the infections.
That's a lot of antibiotics.
I'll call some day shifters to help out.
Great.
Call Cain, too.
You want me to take care of Romero? You had enough of his crap? Uh, no.
Uh, it's already done.
I'm just waiting on the results.
Thanks.
You're telling me they don't have measles? You know the trouble you caused? Your guy lied to me to get them out of there.
Screw your trouble.
These people have meningitis.
It's worse.
These people would've died if I didn't bring 'em here.
Yeah, in their own countries, where they're not my problem.
- Mnh-mnh-mnh.
- You for real right now? I tell you these people could die, and you're worried about, what, the paperwork? These people need help.
Yeah, a lot of people do folks who are already citizens.
It's not the U.
S.
's job to help everyone.
And unless you're willing to let an immigrant family - shack up in your spare room - I am an immigrant.
My family didn't come here on the Mayflower, all right? They moved here from Ireland when I was 10.
Oh, that's a nice story.
How many of these people are you willing to take home with you tonight? I want 'em on the bus now.
[Scoffs.]
Yeah, uh, just for your information, um, if you put them back on that bus, you're not only endangering their life, but yours as well.
I want to be examined first.
Mm.
Oh, like hell you do.
They can't get theirs, but you need yours? That how it works? Look, we're gonna get you your antibiotics.
Just let us do our jobs.
Fine.
I'm taking everyone who's healthy back to detention immediately.
Can you imagine if we didn't catch this, how many people would've died? If they weren't set to be deported, they'd have a hell of a lawsuit on their hands.
- [Cellphone rings.]
- I gotta take this.
Yeah, go ahead.
- Jordan.
- Yeah? It's Dr.
Diaz.
Hello? - Jordan.
- Hey.
[Clears throat.]
Hey.
Hey.
Finally made it back to your place.
It's, uh, nicer than I expected.
Oh.
Low expectations, huh? Are you okay? No, it's been, uh, one of those nights.
Look, I know that I gave you the night off, but we need you here.
We're slammed.
Listen, I can't I-I-I'm going back home.
I'm going back to Mexico.
Um I'm sorry.
What? - For how long? - I don't know.
For a bit.
Maybe for good.
There's an emergency.
- Can we talk about this? - Jordan, I'm sorry.
- I quit.
- [Dial tone droning.]
Hello? [Dial tone continues.]
[Clip clicks.]
[Indistinct conversations, coughing.]
All right.
And what medications are you on, ma'am? I can't always remember them all.
- Uh - Oh.
It's easier if just show you.
Oh.
[Indistinct conversations.]
[Bag rustling.]
All right.
Well no rash, no fever.
Are you sure about that? - Yep.
- [Gloves snap.]
Touch your chin to your chest for me.
Aah! I-I-I can't.
My neck's too stiff.
Yeah.
You are a very smart kid but a very crappy liar.
Your meningitis vaccine worked just the way it should.
You're gonna be fine.
Then you gotta diagnose me with something.
You know they'll take me away if you don't.
I saw them deport a kid's parents who was born here but they weren't.
He was 6.
Come on, you got Hey, slow it down, short stack.
Think I don't know that? I'm telling you you're healthy so you don't freak.
I'm telling them that you're deathly ill, highly contagious, and can't leave this hospital under any circumstances.
So be sure to look real pitiful if anyone pokes their head in, okay? [Coughs.]
Doctor, huh? You should be an actor.
[Curtain rings swoosh.]
Who were you examining in there? Someone with a right to privacy.
Not if it's one of my detainees.
Yeah, that's not even remotely how HIPAA works.
Look, if someone's sick, they're sick.
I'm not gonna put a dying person on a plane if I can help it.
But otherwise, I have a job to do.
The healthy ones are going.
Scott: Is there a problem here? - Yeah.
This nurse - Doctor, doucheface.
Is impeding my ability to get my detainees out of here.
We will release patients when we feel they're ready to be released and not a moment sooner.
If you've got a problem with that, feel free to go get yourself a medical degree.
We'll wait.
Funny.
While reviewing your C.
T.
, we noticed a renal laceration.
Also, you failed to mention that you have only one kidney.
When was it removed? When I was about 12, I had a tumor taken out.
Small-town doc didn't know what he was doing.
I The infection I got was worse than the tumor.
Kidney was so messed up, they had to take it out.
And this happened while you were still living in Mexico? Yeah.
My mom and dad talked about sneaking over, bringing me up for treatment.
But Mom thought if we got caught, that would hurt our chances of coming over for good.
She kept thinking we'd be approved any day.
And when did you finally come over legally? [Chuckles.]
It was years.
Look, I know you got pissed when I said that thing about "these people" earlier.
But you and I both know what I mean.
Are you telling me you don't get looked at different than the other docs around here? If I, uh, if I didn't wear my surgical scrubs, half my patients think I'm a janitor.
I mean, it's, uh, it's like that Louis CK skit.
You know, people find out I'm a doctor, - and they're like, "Good for you.
" - [Chuckles.]
Yeah.
I get handed car keys if I stand too close to the valet.
[Laughs, grunts.]
Folks in my family think I'm a traitor, working with people who would ask for my papers if they met me out of uniform.
Then how can you work for them? Because it's not about sending families away.
It's about putting away bad guys.
At least, it used to be.
Used to be about tracking felons and human traffickers, people that made the world worse, let alone the country.
But now I don't know.
I can't quit.
Can't you just become a cop or something? At my age, that ship has sailed.
My eldest twins are a year away from college, and I don't want them to struggle the way I had to.
One day, you'll learn that sometimes being a parent is about eating a big bucket of crap so your kids don't have to.
I'll bet your daddy did the same.
I appreciate you calming down long enough so we can treat you.
Well, now that my deal is set, I got nothing to worry about.
'Sides, I was just messing with you, flirting with the pretty lady.
That's an interesting way of doing it.
Hey, maybe when I get into the witness protection, you can come visit me.
They're gonna set me up real nice.
I got enough on the cartel to avoid prison and start over.
I'm not sure how it works, but I do think it's a good idea to make things right.
[Scoffs.]
There's no making it right.
There's only surviving.
The cartel wants to set an example with me.
I've seen a man's face peeled off.
[Pushes button.]
That was one of my own tricks.
They'll do it to me now.
I ain't going out like that.
That's fascinating.
But in the meantime, we're gonna get you upstairs to C.
T.
so that we can get a better look at your injuries.
And then the Feds will be here in about an hour, so you can tell them your story.
Oh, I got some great ones.
I used to boil people alive.
Once, I made a guy's wife watch.
But carving a man's heart out with his own set of steak knives was definitely my best.
- [Elevator bell dings.]
- Hey, she's a tough one.
- [Elevator doors open.]
- [Whispers.]
She likes my stories.
Yeah, I'm sure she does.
So I'm gonna come with you to C.
T.
Good, so I can tell you all about Cain.
He quit.
- What? - He quit.
[Elevator door closes.]
I heard this guy killed over 300 people.
How do you even track that? Is there, like, a murder podcast or something? Yeah, 'cause that's not creepy.
I'm just saying.
Guy's got stories.
You don't seem like the kind of girl who'd be interested in those kind of stories.
I have many layers.
Wait a minute.
I gotta cuff you.
Come on.
Come on.
Aah! [Grunting.]
[Gunshots.]
[Glass shatters.]
[Metal grate clanks.]
[Panting.]
Security, get your asses down here now.
Jordan: [Whispers.]
Althea, get down! Woman: Begin evacuation of all patients on the fourth floor.
Rene: How many shots did he fire? This is not a drill.
- Nine.
- So he's still got some left.
All right, I just got off the phone with Security, and they're going to send you maps of the vents.
We're also putting extra officers and guards on every floor.
Okay.
Move out.
Coordinate with the nurses.
I want every inch of this hospital covered.
[Tone beeps.]
All patients on the fourth floor will be evacuated.
I should've suspected he was up to something when he calmed down.
You know, I should have helped the guys tie him down.
Tony patted him down and said he was clean.
And SWAT wanted him alert so he could talk to the for the Feds.
We had five cops outside of that room.
- Security is not our job.
- Yeah, well [Sighs deeply.]
All right, whose wife do you want call, Tony or Bill's? [Woman speaking indistinctly over PA.]
Hey, Jordan.
I gotta check in on Angel and I got my hands full with his mom.
But I need constant updates on the Romero situation.
Okay? Yeah, you got it.
You got it.
What happened? I heard he went up the C.
T.
like a razor snake.
Yeah, well, he's a trained killer.
He's got tricks we can't even imagine.
Okay, where are we on the outbreak? Uh, looks like Angel's mom is the index case.
Close contacts got prophylaxis.
10 got admitted.
The rest are good to go.
Never thought a clean bill of health would be bad news.
Drew, we should go join SWAT.
If things get uglier, they're gonna need our help.
- Okay? - All right.
All right.
All right, everyone, this is just a precaution.
I assure you, despite whatever rumors you may have heard, that the vents do connect from floor to floor.
All right, this man is trapped on the fourth floor.
- Yeah, all 10,000 feet of it.
- I am not in the mood, okay? I'm going back upstairs to check on SWAT.
You've got the floor.
All right, everyone, get back to work.
- Let's go, folks.
- [Claps hands.]
[Telephone rings.]
E.
R.
- Is, uh, Cain Diaz there? - No.
Cain Diaz is not working tonight.
Can I take a message? [Cellphone thuds.]
Hello? - Well - [Receiver clatters.]
Hey, Angel, I got some good news.
- Your mom is - [Curtain rings whoosh.]
Hey, hey! I need some help in here! Now! Hey, Angel? Angel? Hey, he needs Narcan.
Okay.
What happened? [Pills rattle.]
- He tried to kill himself? - I don't think so.
I think he was just trying to get sick enough to stay with his mom.
Well, how long's it been? Who was with him last? I was with him 10 minutes ago.
He was he was fine, he was resting.
Well, there's still time for gastric decontamination.
- Um - [Sighs.]
You know what? He he needs glucagon.
I'm on it.
All right, Angel, this is gonna be a bit uncomfortable, okay? [Coughs.]
[Gags.]
Tell me when you're set.
- [Gags.]
- He's set.
[Muffled gasping.]
[Coughs.]
[Gurgling.]
[Muffled gasping.]
He must have taken half the bag.
Flush him again.
Okay.
- [Gagging.]
- Hey, you're doing great.
So it's a simple procedure.
In and out, and you'll be good as new.
This, uh, whatchamacallit.
I'm not gonna lose any more organs? [Chuckles.]
It's a renal artery branch embolization.
80% success rate.
And you'll do great.
[Pen clicks.]
Doc, there was this kid and his mom.
I heard the nurses say they brought 'em in.
Kid O.
D.
'd? Smart kid, sweet.
Is he okay? I don't know.
Um, they're both having a rough go of it.
It's my fault, all of it.
What do you mean? I brought them in.
I arrested them.
I'm the one picked them up at the courthouse.
What'd they do? Nothing.
She was testifying against an abusive husband.
I knew it.
I ambushed and brought her in.
Why would you do that? Because I am a weak man.
My supervisor he threatened me.
Said if I didn't keep my numbers up, he'd find someone who could.
So what are you gonna do about it? There's nothing I can do.
The deal is done.
They are going back.
Hey there.
You had us pretty scared.
Yeah, you can't do that, Angel.
You could have killed yourself.
I know.
I just wanted to get sick enough so I could stay with my mom.
Yeah, we know.
You don't have to be sick to stay with her.
But I-I heard the ICE agent say that he'd make me go back.
Hey, don't worry about him.
We got your back, okay? You just gotta trust us.
Last person I trusted was the lawyer who said that he was gonna help me with my immigration case.
He didn't even bother to show up.
Well, we're not him.
- We're not gonna let you down.
- Mnh-mnh.
I made a promise, and I keep my promises.
I know.
[Whispers.]
I'm sorry.
Don't be sorry.
Just get better, okay? Okay.
[Tone beeps.]
Woman: All non-essential personnel are being evacuated from the fourth floor.
We've covered half of fourth floor and have drones in the vents.
We'll find him.
- Shoot to kill? - No.
Feds still want him alive.
He may have intel on an undercover agent that's gone missing.
[Dripping.]
Captain.
[Dripping continues.]
Well, looks like we found him.
[Woman speaking indistinctly over P.
A.

[Click.]
[Click.]
[Whirring.]
Man: All drones are active.
Rene: Okay, we've got maintenance dropdowns in these two corridors east and south.
I want you two on these access points and every other one.
- He's on the move.
- What about rolling a couple of canisters of CS into these vents? No, can't do that.
You'll gas the ICU and neonatal.
Can we close the vents off in sections? Uh, maybe, but we don't have time to get a HVAC guy down here and figure that out.
- What about a flash bang? - Mnh.
Too many corners.
No guarantee it'll blind him.
And with all the fiberboard, we risk starting a fire.
There! Got eyes on him.
- [Static.]
- [Sighs.]
Bastard's not stupid.
Okay, let's go get him.
- No way.
I'm going.
- No, no, you can't.
Why the hell not, Callahan? You're a SWAT doc, not SWAT.
I am, and I'm your C.
O.
[Sighs.]
We move out in five.
Move out.
[Police radio chatter.]
[PA tone sounds.]
[Woman speaking indistinctly over P.
A.
.]
Hey.
Looks like you guys found the one safe spot in the hospital.
That and his mom's in the ICU.
We're waiting for Scott to give us the okay to go in.
Aren't you guys a little lost? O.
R.
is on a different floor.
That's the guy who arrested us.
Nope, not lost at all.
- You did this on purpose.
- Yep, I did.
[Sighs.]
Hey.
How How's my mom? Well, she's still in critical condition, but I think we've got her meds right now, and she should be okay.
You can go in and see her now.
- Come on.
Let's go.
- Okay.
Hey, Mom! Mom! Hey.
I thought you'd be with SWAT.
Yeah, I had patients.
O.
D.
s and heart attacks don't care if you're chasing a psychopath up into the vents.
They found him? Yeah.
Rene's headed up there in a couple.
I wanna be there in case she finds him, or he finds her.
Okay.
Hey.
Listen.
I know this isn't the best time, but I wanted to give you a heads up.
I just talked to Syd, and she's pulling out of running the combat center.
Her husband threatened to sue her for full custody of the kid, saying her predilection for danger made her an unfit parent.
- What a bastard.
- Yeah, you said it.
Anyway, I'm canceling the meeting with the Colonel.
There's no way we can replace Syd at the last second like this, so Yeah, look, maybe there is.
Just don't cancel the meeting.
I'll I'll I'll explain later, okay? All right.
[Siren wailing.]
[Siren stops.]
[Car door closes.]
[Engines idling.]
[Police radio chatter.]
Is there a problem, Officer? Problem is you're doing 90 miles an hour.
Oh.
Yeah, you know, I'm a doctor at, uh - [Gun cocks.]
- Don't move.
Don't move! [Car doors open, close.]
[Car doors close.]
[Chuckles.]
Hey, Cain.
It's been a long time.
You just made me a lot of money, man.
Drive.
[Siren wailing, tires screech, engine revs.]
[Gunshots.]
- Aah! - [Thud, gunshot.]
Aah! Rene! Rene?! - I'm going up there! - Boss said I don't care what she said, okay? She's injured, she needs medical attention.
I gotta go up there.
Drew - Be ready to take her to trauma.
- Yes.
Tee! Tee What is he doing? Being T.
C.
[Sighs.]
- Aah! - T.
C.
: Rene.
[Groaning.]
- [Grunting.]
- Okay.
- I'm shot.
- Yeah.
I know I clipped him, though.
I'm sure you did.
[Radio chirps.]
Okay, I found her, but she needs treatment.
You got our location? Okay, sorry, this is gonna hurt like a bitch.
[Both grunting.]
Aah! [Metal grate clanks.]
Hey! Over here! I got Rene.
Tee! [Grunting.]
- Got her.
- [Groaning.]
- [Grunting.]
- You're good.
I got you.
I got you.
Let's get her down here.
Easy, easy.
[Groaning.]
- G.
S.
W.
left shoulder.
- [Gunshot.]
T.
C.
, you get down from there! - No.
That's his last shot.
- Tee! To the right! Going in! We gotta page Scott and get him to the O.
R.
[Beep.]
[Buttons clicking, chirps.]
Where are they? Find him.
They're over the physical therapy room! Go! Go! Go! - [Grunting.]
- [Blade slices.]
[Grunting continues.]
- [Blow lands.]
- [Grunting continues.]
[Saw whirring.]
[Grunting.]
Aah! - Ahh! - [Crunch.]
[Thud.]
[Whirring continues.]
- We got visual.
- Get him out of there! [Grunting.]
- [Thud.]
- [Both groan.]
- Let's get a gurney! - Go! - Ahh! - Get off of him! - Ahh! - Hey.
You okay? - [Romero groaning.]
- All right.
Where's that gurney?! [Groaning continues.]
[Speaks indistinctly.]
You okay? [Groans.]
[Aiden Hawken & Carina Round's "Walking Blind" playing.]
Operation was a success.
You're gonna be fine.
Any news on that boy and his mom? There just might be.
[Monitor beeping steadily.]
There's been a mistake Why did you bring me here? Craziest thing.
Apparently, some anonymous ICE agent called a judge and said there were irregularities with the way you were brought in.
You and your mom get to stay.
- Seriously?! - Seriously.
Thought you might want to experience that live.
If this is the end Then we whisper the wind Thank you, sir.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Thanks, Doc.
Of course.
Rene shot, all those people deported anyway.
Romero's singing like a canary, trying to strike a deal with the Feds.
What do we gotta do to get a win? Well, that mother and son, they're staying, so that's something.
And the rest of those people, they're better off than whenyou found them.
Okay.
Rene she's in recovery and she's doing fine.
Yeah, you're right.
But Ah! Could you not have grabbed the Lidocaine? Idiots who chase after dangerous criminals? - They don't get Lidocaine.
- Yeah, well, I had to.
I know.
It's what makes me love you and hate you.
We don't have to know You know what I mean.
Yeah.
Hope I'm not interrupting.
They said you'd be in here.
Amira.
Hey.
It looks like you had a much more eventful night than I had.
Well, yeah.
Hi.
Y-You must be Jordan.
Yeah.
Amira.
It's, uh, nice to meet you.
Um, I didn't know you were coming uh, here or to the States.
Um T.
C.
doesn't tell us very much.
Wait, he didn't tell you I'm joining the combat training team? So Syd canceled, and she needed a fill-in.
I was in the vents.
I don't know how you put up with him.
Hmm.
Okay, why don't you two yell at me after the presentation with the Colonel? I was in the vents.
You said.
Hey, uh, do you wanna grab breakfast? - Yeah.
- Yeah.
Just let me go get changed.
Sure.
Sounds good.
Hey, uh, can I talk to you for a sec? Sure.
What what's up? Yeah, it'll only only take a minute.
[Clears throat.]
Look, there's no easy way to say this, so I'm just gonna like If you are trying to break up with my sister through me? - No.
No.
- No, no.
No.
It's not that.
[Laughs.]
It's quite the opposite.
Look, Bella's a grown woman.
She doesn't need anyone's permission to do anything.
Uh But she's your sister, and you're my best friend, and it would kill me if I did anything to to mess up that relationship.
Uh, or our relationship.
Uh You you you you you're freaking me out, man.
- What are you getting at? - Okay.
Okay.
Uh So if I asked Bella to marry me, would you give me your blessing? Wait, what? Oh.
I'm sorry.
Obviously, you're messing with me.
Terrible joke, Kenny.
That is my sister.
No.
- No.
No? - Mnh-mnh.
It's it's been a month.
I know.
But when you know, you know.
Okay, hold on.
Look, man, I've seen you get like this before, okay? Like, I don't wanna hurt your feelings, but sometimes you get into women, like, a little bit faster than maybe they're ready for.
Right? And I don't I don't wanna see you get hurt.
No, no.
But, look, it's different this time.
We both feel the same way.
[Exhales.]
Hmm.
So do I have your blessing? Yes.
Yes.
Of course, of course.
But know this, if she says no, I warned you Already asked her.
She said yes! [Laughs.]
No, no, no.
Oh, you already had that loaded.
It's done.
[Laughs.]
Took all day to pick out the filter.
- Congrats, Kenny! [Laughs.]
- Thank you so much.
Get over here, man! Oh, congratulations! Whoo! We have the staff, the skill, and the flat-out grit to make this program a success.
- [Beep.]
- In conclusion, Colonel Parnell, San Antonio Memorial is the perfect place for your medics and doctors to get their combat training.
That's excellent work.
Callahan, your reputation proceeds you, both good and bad.
But the intel is that there's nobody better under fire when somebody's life is on the line.
Dr.
Anawi, you're no Major Jennings.
Hold on.
Syd is certainly difficult to replace, but Dr.
Anawi runs a unit of the White Helmets in Syria.
We know who Dr.
Anawi is.
She's been working with the CIA since med school.
And she's got more actual rescue and combat experience than Major Jennings.
She'll fit in.
So do we have a deal? We have a deal.
Excellent.
It's settled then.
In 90 days, we'll be up and running.
90 days? No, you'll be be up and running start of next week.
Next week? We deploy to a combat zone in 90 days.
If my men and women aren't gonna be ready, I need to know long before then.
Starting Monday, you have three days to convince me that you can turn them into the best combat medics that I've ever seen, or I'm going to Tampa Prez and see if they can.
So in or out? to you - Because I'm damned if I do - In.
You'll have your recruits later today.
Good luck, Doctors.
Drowning with you [Sighs deeply.]
- Well, that was - Unexpected.
You mean the three days or Amira being in the CIA? I guess it's time for all of us to get know each other a little better.
Right, team? Damned if I do Damned if I do Damned if I don't Damned if I don't Don't leave me stranded
This is your last warning! I repeat, this is your last warning! Release the hostage! You're not going anywhere! Open the gate! Open it now, or I'll kill him! I'll cut him up real good! Open it! Man: This is your final warning! I repeat, this is your final warning! - [Grunts.]
- Ready your weapon! [Guns cock.]
Hold your fire! [Tires squeal.]
Stop! Get out of the car! [Grunts.]
[Tires peal.]
[Rapid gunfire.]
[Tires screech.]
- Man: Don't move! Show me your hands! - [Groaning.]
[Continues groaning.]
Rene: Hold up, T.
C.
! Let 'em secure the car first! See that crash? He'd be lucky if he can hold a shiv.
Jeez, he's just as pigheaded as Mac said, huh? Yeah, pretty much.
- [Groaning.]
- Okay.
Come on.
Come here.
I got you.
Come with me.
Come on.
- Ready? - [Groans.]
Okay.
All right, sir, we're trying to help you here, okay? - Aah! Just let me die.
- 'Fraid we can't do that.
All right, G.
S.
W.
grazeto the head.
Yep.
High velocity blunt chest trauma.
- Okay, let's get him on the SAM.
- You got it, you guys.
Hey, Docs, I got another one for you inside.
One of the good ones.
[Man coughing.]
[Baby cries.]
[Indistinct conversations.]
What happened? Son of a bitch stabbed me.
He had a shiv.
Get word to my wife, will you? If this makes the news, she gonna be worried.
Yeah, Don't worry.
We'll make the call.
[Inhales sharply, groans.]
Boy: Someone help! Okay, take him to SAM.
We'll take care of him.
Help! You gotta come! My mom can't breathe! Okay.
Come on, let's go.
[Indistinct conversations.]
- This your mom? - Yeah.
[People coughing in distance.]
Fruity breath.
Diabetic ketoacidosis.
Does your mom take insulin? Why? She's not diabetic.
She is.
She just doesn't know it yet.
And what exactly do you think you're doing? Oh, I'm just saving a woman's life.
This place is a hellhole.
You know that, right? These people all need help.
Yeah.
They'll get it.
Thanks for coming by, Doc.
We've got it from here.
Will you tell them to take the agent back without me? I, uh, I got some work to do here.
Okay.
She's gonna be okay.
[Siren wailing.]
[Groaning.]
Ah, 59.
Not good enough.
59.
Come on! Let's go.
- [Grunts.]
- 59.
[Groaning.]
Nope.
59.
How long are you gonna make him stay on one number? Long as it takes.
[Strained voice.]
This is what they do in Ranger school.
They try to break you.
But I'm not gonna break.
I'm gonna get that tab.
Whoa.
Ted from Accounting's been using his hospital e-mail to send naked pics to his girlfriend.
Hope he's a grow-er, 'cause he ain't a show-er.
[Drew panting.]
Take a look.
Ugh! I don't wanna see that.
Ugh! Stop.
- 60.
Drew, let's go.
- [Drew grunts.]
Please put please put the phone down.
- [Drew grunts.]
- Speaking of naked pics, I hope Paul doesn't have to see anything like this of you and Bella.
Get your mind out of the gutter.
We don't do that.
We're just friends.
Uh-huh.
- [Groans.]
- Sure you are.
- Thanks for the workout.
- [Grunts.]
- [Siren wailing.]
- All right, let's go, boys.
[Wailing continues.]
Drew, ICE agent.
Multiple stab wounds to the flank and abdomen.
Vitals are stable.
I'm Dr.
Alister.
Let's get you checked out.
What happened? Got between a psychopath and innocent people.
The psychopath won.
Not by the looks of it.
All right, let's go Trauma 2.
[Grunting.]
I'll kill you! Aah! - This the guy from the rollover? - Yes, and the accident happened after he got shot in a standoff with the cops.
Look at you, being all Rambo Doc.
Aah! You can't take me back! - Take it easy, all right? - Like this the whole ride over.
- Take him to 1! - [Grunts.]
- Where's Cain? - I gave him the night off.
He's gonna be working double while Drew's gone.
I'll kill you! Aah! Aah! T.
C.
: Female, 30s.
DKA and a fever.
She's pretty sick.
She needs a central line and possibly intubation.
- Take her to Exam 1.
- Got it.
Hey, what's your name, little man? Angel.
Okay, great.
Straight through.
Hey, Dispatch said you were bringing in - one woman and her kid.
- Yeah.
Plans changed.
The bus just pulled up.
Where do you want 'em? - Bus? What bus? - You know what? You set up triage in the ambulance bay right over there.
How many do you have? 47.
And I want my measles booster first.
- Measles? What the - Scott, just Dr.
Callahan, can I talk to you for a minute, please? Sure.
Hey, Kenny, can you take care of this gentleman? - Set him up in an exam room? - Yeah, will do.
Hey.
I know what measles looks like.
None of these people have measles.
Hey, Scott, look, I need you to look at all these people.
Okay, the woman I just brought in with her son is suffering from septic shock.
Okay, they've been in that place for God knows how long, catching God knows what, and they're all scheduled to be deported tonight.
Okay, who knows which of them are gonna survive? We can't can't just let these people suffer.
[Siren wailing in distance.]
You're right.
Really? 'Cause I thought you were gonna fight me on this.
Hey, you don't own the moral compass for the world, T.
C.
The least we can do is give them some basic care before they get shipped off.
I just could've used a heads-up.
Mollie? - Set up the bay for holding.
- Yeah.
Hey, T.
C.
, where do you stand on Jordan's combat training proposal? Colonel Parnell's coming by in the morning to hear our presentation, and we really need you.
"We"? You you you wanted me to quit two weeks ago.
Okay.
Yeah, well, things change.
And hey.
Hey! Any news about Annie from the P.
I.
you hired? No.
Look, when Annie doesn't want to be found, - she can't be tracked down.
- We got more coming in! Scott, can you take care of all this - so I can go check on Romero? - Yeah.
Go, go.
Trauma 4.
[Indistinct conversations.]
- [Groans.]
- Tony, you gotta hold him.
- I got him.
- [Groans.]
Don't touch me, bitch.
Get off me.
I got this.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! [Groans.]
[Groans, grunts.]
I can't believe he survived an accident like that.
Mm there we go.
And he's out.
Okay.
It's always the creeps that land on their feet.
Yeah.
Yeah, and we need more doctors who are prepared to deal with them.
- Oh, subtle.
- Mm.
I was just talking to Scott.
He's very gung ho about this whole combat training situation.
Yeah.
So was Syd when I talked to her two days ago.
Yeah.
She keeps calling me, like, 50 times a day.
- Wants us to run it together.
- So does the Army.
[Exhales.]
It's the centerpiece of our presentation.
A man and woman with combat medical training experience teaching everything they know to other Army medics and docs.
But we're not gonna get the contract without you.
Tee, I don't ask you for much, but I really want this to happen.
Jordan, I know, but I made a commitment - To Amira.
Yes, I know.
- No, no, no.
To Syria.
Okay, look, how about I just help launch the program at the beginning? No long-term commitment.
Just help get people interested.
No long-term commitment, huh? Well, that doesn't sound like you at all.
- [Laughs.]
- [Laughs.]
All right.
Thank you.
I'll take it.
Yeah.
- Boo! - [Gasps.]
Ah! [Laughs.]
Ah, it's gonna take a lot more drugs to knock me out, sweetheart.
How about you jump in here and pass the time with me, huh? - Yeah, um, I'd rather not.
- [Gloves snap.]
And I have patients that need my help, so when you're ready to be treated, you let me know.
Ohh.
[Speaking indistinctly.]
[Defibrillator whines.]
[Siren wailing.]
Headed to Ranger School, huh? I tried to get my tab when I enlisted back in the day.
Washed out after the first month.
Wasn't tough enough, I guess.
You seem plenty tough to me.
My husband's on SWAT.
I know about the guys he hands over to you.
Yeah, it's no joke.
We get some of the worst.
Hey, uh, you needed a consult for positive FAST? Yeah.
Uh, Max, this is Dr.
Cummings.
Looks like that guy did a number on you.
Cops are guarding Romero, right? He's scum.
That guy is the reason people call us "bad hombres.
" He's been deported a dozen times.
These people come in our country and ruin it.
"These people"? Don't get all P.
C.
on me, Doc.
I'm first gen.
But I did it right.
I'm a good citizen, pay my taxes, follow the rules.
That guy? He's the reason people don't trust guys like me.
Hmm.
I'll take your word for it.
Sounds like you have internal bleeding.
Dr.
Alister, let's get him to C.
T.
I think I pissed him off.
Is he the one gonna operate? Don't worry, he's fine.
He's just a little sensitive.
[Monitor beeping steadily.]
[PA tone sounds.]
Woman: Respiratory nurse to E.
R Maybe a little better bedside manner.
- He is one of the good guys.
- If you say so.
He just got stabbed multiple times trying to keep a drug dealer from escaping.
He deports violent criminals, people who come to this country to commit crimes.
Oh, you mean like that middle schooler T.
C.
brought in and his diabetic mother? They look real violent.
That sucks, all right? But this guy doesn't make the rules.
He's just gotta follow 'em.
A law's a law.
Seriously? "A law is a law"? If that were true, this ER would have been shut down years ago.
- You know what I mean.
- Do I? Drew, how much illegal crap has T.
C.
pulled over the last couple of years? I mean, he was given the option to join the military to avoid jail time, for God sake.
And look what he did with his chance.
Yeah, and that's great, but he got a chance.
Okay? Meanwhile, that Angel kid and others like him who have hurt no one, got no second chance.
My mom is Nigerian, okay? And if she had missed a single filing deadline or hearing, I would have grown up in Lagos.
I grew up literally knowing that I couldn't screw up, because there are no second chances for people who looked like me.
You know, and I'm a citizen.
And I'm rich.
But now you're bringing race into it.
That's an entirely different conversation.
Look, people can see race, and they assume things about folks rocking a year-round tan.
But it it's more than that, okay? it's about what's fair.
You spent years in the closet longer than you had to because you were terrified of people treating you differently.
Okay, you understand that fear, that injustice.
You had a closet.
These people don't.
[PA tone sounds.]
[Sighs deeply.]
Woman: Paging Dr.
Alexander to the ambulance bay.
Dr.
Alexander to the ambulance bay.
[Indistinct conversations.]
Hey, what's up? Hi.
I've got at least five people from the detention center with fever, headache, and neck pain.
Shannon's got a woman in Exam 1 with meningococcal meningitis.
Yeah.
You thinking what I'm thinking? Depending how long they were there, we could have a meningitis outbreak on our hands.
All right.
Jocelyn, Mollie, initiate the protocol.
Everybody here needs masks.
Coughing, breathing, even sneezing can spread this stuff.
Everyone, every last person needs treatment.
Jordan [Stammers.]
I'm sorry.
I-I didn't know.
Hmm.
You always are.
[Siren wailing in distance.]
[Child coughing.]
[Liquid drips, monitor beeping steadily.]
[Breathing shallowly.]
Thanks for helping out.
Jocelyn, send a stat gram stain to confirm meningococcal meningitis.
Good thing we caught it now.
An early sign is the purpura fulminas here.
I'll have an ISO room set up for her in the ICU.
In the meantime, you need to get yourself some Cipro ASAP.
What about her diabetes? How is that gonna affect her condition? Well, not to get too technical, but she has something called DKA that's diabetic ketoacidosis.
Treatment which can lead to hypoglycemia, cerebral edema.
- Yeah, I know.
- Whoa.
How'd you know all that? I'm gonna be a doctor.
Well, you're gonna be a good one.
The nurse gave me this tablet to play games on, but.
.
I'd rather do research.
So [Sighs.]
is she gonna die? The website says meningitis is fatal.
Angel, when you become a doctor, you'll realize websites don't treat patients we do.
And we're gonna do everything we can for your mom, okay? You didn't answer my question.
You can't let her die.
She's all I got.
My dad he's not nice.
You can't let anything happen to her.
Promise me.
Okay.
I promise.
Jordan: Okay, we have no idea how extensive this is.
Anyone with whom meningitis is expected should get treatment.
Start them on droplet precautions.
Anyone with close contact gets prophylaxis.
- Even those with vaccinations? - Yes.
Absolutely.
They can carry the bacteria and still spread the infections.
That's a lot of antibiotics.
I'll call some day shifters to help out.
Great.
Call Cain, too.
You want me to take care of Romero? You had enough of his crap? Uh, no.
Uh, it's already done.
I'm just waiting on the results.
Thanks.
You're telling me they don't have measles? You know the trouble you caused? Your guy lied to me to get them out of there.
Screw your trouble.
These people have meningitis.
It's worse.
These people would've died if I didn't bring 'em here.
Yeah, in their own countries, where they're not my problem.
- Mnh-mnh-mnh.
- You for real right now? I tell you these people could die, and you're worried about, what, the paperwork? These people need help.
Yeah, a lot of people do folks who are already citizens.
It's not the U.
S.
's job to help everyone.
And unless you're willing to let an immigrant family - shack up in your spare room - I am an immigrant.
My family didn't come here on the Mayflower, all right? They moved here from Ireland when I was 10.
Oh, that's a nice story.
How many of these people are you willing to take home with you tonight? I want 'em on the bus now.
[Scoffs.]
Yeah, uh, just for your information, um, if you put them back on that bus, you're not only endangering their life, but yours as well.
I want to be examined first.
Mm.
Oh, like hell you do.
They can't get theirs, but you need yours? That how it works? Look, we're gonna get you your antibiotics.
Just let us do our jobs.
Fine.
I'm taking everyone who's healthy back to detention immediately.
Can you imagine if we didn't catch this, how many people would've died? If they weren't set to be deported, they'd have a hell of a lawsuit on their hands.
- [Cellphone rings.]
- I gotta take this.
Yeah, go ahead.
- Jordan.
- Yeah? It's Dr.
Diaz.
Hello? - Jordan.
- Hey.
[Clears throat.]
Hey.
Hey.
Finally made it back to your place.
It's, uh, nicer than I expected.
Oh.
Low expectations, huh? Are you okay? No, it's been, uh, one of those nights.
Look, I know that I gave you the night off, but we need you here.
We're slammed.
Listen, I can't I-I-I'm going back home.
I'm going back to Mexico.
Um I'm sorry.
What? - For how long? - I don't know.
For a bit.
Maybe for good.
There's an emergency.
- Can we talk about this? - Jordan, I'm sorry.
- I quit.
- [Dial tone droning.]
Hello? [Dial tone continues.]
[Clip clicks.]
[Indistinct conversations, coughing.]
All right.
And what medications are you on, ma'am? I can't always remember them all.
- Uh - Oh.
It's easier if just show you.
Oh.
[Indistinct conversations.]
[Bag rustling.]
All right.
Well no rash, no fever.
Are you sure about that? - Yep.
- [Gloves snap.]
Touch your chin to your chest for me.
Aah! I-I-I can't.
My neck's too stiff.
Yeah.
You are a very smart kid but a very crappy liar.
Your meningitis vaccine worked just the way it should.
You're gonna be fine.
Then you gotta diagnose me with something.
You know they'll take me away if you don't.
I saw them deport a kid's parents who was born here but they weren't.
He was 6.
Come on, you got Hey, slow it down, short stack.
Think I don't know that? I'm telling you you're healthy so you don't freak.
I'm telling them that you're deathly ill, highly contagious, and can't leave this hospital under any circumstances.
So be sure to look real pitiful if anyone pokes their head in, okay? [Coughs.]
Doctor, huh? You should be an actor.
[Curtain rings swoosh.]
Who were you examining in there? Someone with a right to privacy.
Not if it's one of my detainees.
Yeah, that's not even remotely how HIPAA works.
Look, if someone's sick, they're sick.
I'm not gonna put a dying person on a plane if I can help it.
But otherwise, I have a job to do.
The healthy ones are going.
Scott: Is there a problem here? - Yeah.
This nurse - Doctor, doucheface.
Is impeding my ability to get my detainees out of here.
We will release patients when we feel they're ready to be released and not a moment sooner.
If you've got a problem with that, feel free to go get yourself a medical degree.
We'll wait.
Funny.
While reviewing your C.
T.
, we noticed a renal laceration.
Also, you failed to mention that you have only one kidney.
When was it removed? When I was about 12, I had a tumor taken out.
Small-town doc didn't know what he was doing.
I The infection I got was worse than the tumor.
Kidney was so messed up, they had to take it out.
And this happened while you were still living in Mexico? Yeah.
My mom and dad talked about sneaking over, bringing me up for treatment.
But Mom thought if we got caught, that would hurt our chances of coming over for good.
She kept thinking we'd be approved any day.
And when did you finally come over legally? [Chuckles.]
It was years.
Look, I know you got pissed when I said that thing about "these people" earlier.
But you and I both know what I mean.
Are you telling me you don't get looked at different than the other docs around here? If I, uh, if I didn't wear my surgical scrubs, half my patients think I'm a janitor.
I mean, it's, uh, it's like that Louis CK skit.
You know, people find out I'm a doctor, - and they're like, "Good for you.
" - [Chuckles.]
Yeah.
I get handed car keys if I stand too close to the valet.
[Laughs, grunts.]
Folks in my family think I'm a traitor, working with people who would ask for my papers if they met me out of uniform.
Then how can you work for them? Because it's not about sending families away.
It's about putting away bad guys.
At least, it used to be.
Used to be about tracking felons and human traffickers, people that made the world worse, let alone the country.
But now I don't know.
I can't quit.
Can't you just become a cop or something? At my age, that ship has sailed.
My eldest twins are a year away from college, and I don't want them to struggle the way I had to.
One day, you'll learn that sometimes being a parent is about eating a big bucket of crap so your kids don't have to.
I'll bet your daddy did the same.
I appreciate you calming down long enough so we can treat you.
Well, now that my deal is set, I got nothing to worry about.
'Sides, I was just messing with you, flirting with the pretty lady.
That's an interesting way of doing it.
Hey, maybe when I get into the witness protection, you can come visit me.
They're gonna set me up real nice.
I got enough on the cartel to avoid prison and start over.
I'm not sure how it works, but I do think it's a good idea to make things right.
[Scoffs.]
There's no making it right.
There's only surviving.
The cartel wants to set an example with me.
I've seen a man's face peeled off.
[Pushes button.]
That was one of my own tricks.
They'll do it to me now.
I ain't going out like that.
That's fascinating.
But in the meantime, we're gonna get you upstairs to C.
T.
so that we can get a better look at your injuries.
And then the Feds will be here in about an hour, so you can tell them your story.
Oh, I got some great ones.
I used to boil people alive.
Once, I made a guy's wife watch.
But carving a man's heart out with his own set of steak knives was definitely my best.
- [Elevator bell dings.]
- Hey, she's a tough one.
- [Elevator doors open.]
- [Whispers.]
She likes my stories.
Yeah, I'm sure she does.
So I'm gonna come with you to C.
T.
Good, so I can tell you all about Cain.
He quit.
- What? - He quit.
[Elevator door closes.]
I heard this guy killed over 300 people.
How do you even track that? Is there, like, a murder podcast or something? Yeah, 'cause that's not creepy.
I'm just saying.
Guy's got stories.
You don't seem like the kind of girl who'd be interested in those kind of stories.
I have many layers.
Wait a minute.
I gotta cuff you.
Come on.
Come on.
Aah! [Grunting.]
[Gunshots.]
[Glass shatters.]
[Metal grate clanks.]
[Panting.]
Security, get your asses down here now.
Jordan: [Whispers.]
Althea, get down! Woman: Begin evacuation of all patients on the fourth floor.
Rene: How many shots did he fire? This is not a drill.
- Nine.
- So he's still got some left.
All right, I just got off the phone with Security, and they're going to send you maps of the vents.
We're also putting extra officers and guards on every floor.
Okay.
Move out.
Coordinate with the nurses.
I want every inch of this hospital covered.
[Tone beeps.]
All patients on the fourth floor will be evacuated.
I should've suspected he was up to something when he calmed down.
You know, I should have helped the guys tie him down.
Tony patted him down and said he was clean.
And SWAT wanted him alert so he could talk to the for the Feds.
We had five cops outside of that room.
- Security is not our job.
- Yeah, well [Sighs deeply.]
All right, whose wife do you want call, Tony or Bill's? [Woman speaking indistinctly over PA.]
Hey, Jordan.
I gotta check in on Angel and I got my hands full with his mom.
But I need constant updates on the Romero situation.
Okay? Yeah, you got it.
You got it.
What happened? I heard he went up the C.
T.
like a razor snake.
Yeah, well, he's a trained killer.
He's got tricks we can't even imagine.
Okay, where are we on the outbreak? Uh, looks like Angel's mom is the index case.
Close contacts got prophylaxis.
10 got admitted.
The rest are good to go.
Never thought a clean bill of health would be bad news.
Drew, we should go join SWAT.
If things get uglier, they're gonna need our help.
- Okay? - All right.
All right.
All right, everyone, this is just a precaution.
I assure you, despite whatever rumors you may have heard, that the vents do connect from floor to floor.
All right, this man is trapped on the fourth floor.
- Yeah, all 10,000 feet of it.
- I am not in the mood, okay? I'm going back upstairs to check on SWAT.
You've got the floor.
All right, everyone, get back to work.
- Let's go, folks.
- [Claps hands.]
[Telephone rings.]
E.
R.
- Is, uh, Cain Diaz there? - No.
Cain Diaz is not working tonight.
Can I take a message? [Cellphone thuds.]
Hello? - Well - [Receiver clatters.]
Hey, Angel, I got some good news.
- Your mom is - [Curtain rings whoosh.]
Hey, hey! I need some help in here! Now! Hey, Angel? Angel? Hey, he needs Narcan.
Okay.
What happened? [Pills rattle.]
- He tried to kill himself? - I don't think so.
I think he was just trying to get sick enough to stay with his mom.
Well, how long's it been? Who was with him last? I was with him 10 minutes ago.
He was he was fine, he was resting.
Well, there's still time for gastric decontamination.
- Um - [Sighs.]
You know what? He he needs glucagon.
I'm on it.
All right, Angel, this is gonna be a bit uncomfortable, okay? [Coughs.]
[Gags.]
Tell me when you're set.
- [Gags.]
- He's set.
[Muffled gasping.]
[Coughs.]
[Gurgling.]
[Muffled gasping.]
He must have taken half the bag.
Flush him again.
Okay.
- [Gagging.]
- Hey, you're doing great.
So it's a simple procedure.
In and out, and you'll be good as new.
This, uh, whatchamacallit.
I'm not gonna lose any more organs? [Chuckles.]
It's a renal artery branch embolization.
80% success rate.
And you'll do great.
[Pen clicks.]
Doc, there was this kid and his mom.
I heard the nurses say they brought 'em in.
Kid O.
D.
'd? Smart kid, sweet.
Is he okay? I don't know.
Um, they're both having a rough go of it.
It's my fault, all of it.
What do you mean? I brought them in.
I arrested them.
I'm the one picked them up at the courthouse.
What'd they do? Nothing.
She was testifying against an abusive husband.
I knew it.
I ambushed and brought her in.
Why would you do that? Because I am a weak man.
My supervisor he threatened me.
Said if I didn't keep my numbers up, he'd find someone who could.
So what are you gonna do about it? There's nothing I can do.
The deal is done.
They are going back.
Hey there.
You had us pretty scared.
Yeah, you can't do that, Angel.
You could have killed yourself.
I know.
I just wanted to get sick enough so I could stay with my mom.
Yeah, we know.
You don't have to be sick to stay with her.
But I-I heard the ICE agent say that he'd make me go back.
Hey, don't worry about him.
We got your back, okay? You just gotta trust us.
Last person I trusted was the lawyer who said that he was gonna help me with my immigration case.
He didn't even bother to show up.
Well, we're not him.
- We're not gonna let you down.
- Mnh-mnh.
I made a promise, and I keep my promises.
I know.
[Whispers.]
I'm sorry.
Don't be sorry.
Just get better, okay? Okay.
[Tone beeps.]
Woman: All non-essential personnel are being evacuated from the fourth floor.
We've covered half of fourth floor and have drones in the vents.
We'll find him.
- Shoot to kill? - No.
Feds still want him alive.
He may have intel on an undercover agent that's gone missing.
[Dripping.]
Captain.
[Dripping continues.]
Well, looks like we found him.
[Woman speaking indistinctly over P.
A.
.]
[Click.]
[Click.]
[Whirring.]
Man: All drones are active.
Rene: Okay, we've got maintenance dropdowns in these two corridors east and south.
I want you two on these access points and every other one.
- He's on the move.
- What about rolling a couple of canisters of CS into these vents? No, can't do that.
You'll gas the ICU and neonatal.
Can we close the vents off in sections? Uh, maybe, but we don't have time to get a HVAC guy down here and figure that out.
- What about a flash bang? - Mnh.
Too many corners.
No guarantee it'll blind him.
And with all the fiberboard, we risk starting a fire.
There! Got eyes on him.
- [Static.]
- [Sighs.]
Bastard's not stupid.
Okay, let's go get him.
- No way.
I'm going.
- No, no, you can't.
Why the hell not, Callahan? You're a SWAT doc, not SWAT.
I am, and I'm your C.
O.
[Sighs.]
We move out in five.
Move out.
[Police radio chatter.]
[PA tone sounds.]
[Woman speaking indistinctly over P.
A.
.]
Hey.
Looks like you guys found the one safe spot in the hospital.
That and his mom's in the ICU.
We're waiting for Scott to give us the okay to go in.
Aren't you guys a little lost? O.
R.
is on a different floor.
That's the guy who arrested us.
Nope, not lost at all.
- You did this on purpose.
- Yep, I did.
[Sighs.]
Hey.
How How's my mom? Well, she's still in critical condition, but I think we've got her meds right now, and she should be okay.
You can go in and see her now.
- Come on.
Let's go.
- Okay.
Hey, Mom! Mom! Hey.
I thought you'd be with SWAT.
Yeah, I had patients.
O.
D.
s and heart attacks don't care if you're chasing a psychopath up into the vents.
They found him? Yeah.
Rene's headed up there in a couple.
I wanna be there in case she finds him, or he finds her.
Okay.
Hey.
Listen.
I know this isn't the best time, but I wanted to give you a heads up.
I just talked to Syd, and she's pulling out of running the combat center.
Her husband threatened to sue her for full custody of the kid, saying her predilection for danger made her an unfit parent.
- What a bastard.
- Yeah, you said it.
Anyway, I'm canceling the meeting with the Colonel.
There's no way we can replace Syd at the last second like this, so Yeah, look, maybe there is.
Just don't cancel the meeting.
I'll I'll I'll explain later, okay? All right.
[Siren wailing.]
[Siren stops.]
[Car door closes.]
[Engines idling.]
[Police radio chatter.]
Is there a problem, Officer? Problem is you're doing 90 miles an hour.
Oh.
Yeah, you know, I'm a doctor at, uh - [Gun cocks.]
- Don't move.
Don't move! [Car doors open, close.]
[Car doors close.]
[Chuckles.]
Hey, Cain.
It's been a long time.
You just made me a lot of money, man.
Drive.
[Siren wailing, tires screech, engine revs.]
[Gunshots.]
- Aah! - [Thud, gunshot.]
Aah! Rene! Rene?! - I'm going up there! - Boss said I don't care what she said, okay? She's injured, she needs medical attention.
I gotta go up there.
Drew - Be ready to take her to trauma.
- Yes.
Tee! Tee What is he doing? Being T.
C.
[Sighs.]
- Aah! - T.
C.
: Rene.
[Groaning.]
- [Grunting.]
- Okay.
- I'm shot.
- Yeah.
I know I clipped him, though.
I'm sure you did.
[Radio chirps.]
Okay, I found her, but she needs treatment.
You got our location? Okay, sorry, this is gonna hurt like a bitch.
[Both grunting.]
Aah! [Metal grate clanks.]
Hey! Over here! I got Rene.
Tee! [Grunting.]
- Got her.
- [Groaning.]
- [Grunting.]
- You're good.
I got you.
I got you.
Let's get her down here.
Easy, easy.
[Groaning.]
- G.
S.
W.
left shoulder.
- [Gunshot.]
T.
C.
, you get down from there! - No.
That's his last shot.
- Tee! To the right! Going in! We gotta page Scott and get him to the O.
R.
[Beep.]
[Buttons clicking, chirps.]
Where are they? Find him.
They're over the physical therapy room! Go! Go! Go! - [Grunting.]
- [Blade slices.]
[Grunting continues.]
- [Blow lands.]
- [Grunting continues.]
[Saw whirring.]
[Grunting.]
Aah! - Ahh! - [Crunch.]
[Thud.]
[Whirring continues.]
- We got visual.
- Get him out of there! [Grunting.]
- [Thud.]
- [Both groan.]
- Let's get a gurney! - Go! - Ahh! - Get off of him! - Ahh! - Hey.
You okay? - [Romero groaning.]
- All right.
Where's that gurney?! [Groaning continues.]
[Speaks indistinctly.]
You okay? [Groans.]
[Aiden Hawken & Carina Round's "Walking Blind" playing.]
Operation was a success.
You're gonna be fine.
Any news on that boy and his mom? There just might be.
[Monitor beeping steadily.]
There's been a mistake Why did you bring me here? Craziest thing.
Apparently, some anonymous ICE agent called a judge and said there were irregularities with the way you were brought in.
You and your mom get to stay.
- Seriously?! - Seriously.
Thought you might want to experience that live.
If this is the end Then we whisper the wind Thank you, sir.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Thanks, Doc.
Of course.
Rene shot, all those people deported anyway.
Romero's singing like a canary, trying to strike a deal with the Feds.
What do we gotta do to get a win? Well, that mother and son, they're staying, so that's something.
And the rest of those people, they're better off than whenyou found them.
Okay.
Rene she's in recovery and she's doing fine.
Yeah, you're right.
But Ah! Could you not have grabbed the Lidocaine? Idiots who chase after dangerous criminals? - They don't get Lidocaine.
- Yeah, well, I had to.
I know.
It's what makes me love you and hate you.
We don't have to know You know what I mean.
Yeah.
Hope I'm not interrupting.
They said you'd be in here.
Amira.
Hey.
It looks like you had a much more eventful night than I had.
Well, yeah.
Hi.
Y-You must be Jordan.
Yeah.
Amira.
It's, uh, nice to meet you.
Um, I didn't know you were coming uh, here or to the States.
Um T.
C.
doesn't tell us very much.
Wait, he didn't tell you I'm joining the combat training team? So Syd canceled, and she needed a fill-in.
I was in the vents.
I don't know how you put up with him.
Hmm.
Okay, why don't you two yell at me after the presentation with the Colonel? I was in the vents.
You said.
Hey, uh, do you wanna grab breakfast? - Yeah.
- Yeah.
Just let me go get changed.
Sure.
Sounds good.
Hey, uh, can I talk to you for a sec? Sure.
What what's up? Yeah, it'll only only take a minute.
[Clears throat.]
Look, there's no easy way to say this, so I'm just gonna like If you are trying to break up with my sister through me? - No.
No.
- No, no.
No.
It's not that.
[Laughs.]
It's quite the opposite.
Look, Bella's a grown woman.
She doesn't need anyone's permission to do anything.
Uh But she's your sister, and you're my best friend, and it would kill me if I did anything to to mess up that relationship.
Uh, or our relationship.
Uh You you you you you're freaking me out, man.
- What are you getting at? - Okay.
Okay.
Uh So if I asked Bella to marry me, would you give me your blessing? Wait, what? Oh.
I'm sorry.
Obviously, you're messing with me.
Terrible joke, Kenny.
That is my sister.
No.
- No.
No? - Mnh-mnh.
It's it's been a month.
I know.
But when you know, you know.
Okay, hold on.
Look, man, I've seen you get like this before, okay? Like, I don't wanna hurt your feelings, but sometimes you get into women, like, a little bit faster than maybe they're ready for.
Right? And I don't I don't wanna see you get hurt.
No, no.
But, look, it's different this time.
We both feel the same way.
[Exhales.]
Hmm.
So do I have your blessing? Yes.
Yes.
Of course, of course.
But know this, if she says no, I warned you Already asked her.
She said yes! [Laughs.]
No, no, no.
Oh, you already had that loaded.
It's done.
[Laughs.]
Took all day to pick out the filter.
- Congrats, Kenny! [Laughs.]
- Thank you so much.
Get over here, man! Oh, congratulations! Whoo! We have the staff, the skill, and the flat-out grit to make this program a success.
- [Beep.]
- In conclusion, Colonel Parnell, San Antonio Memorial is the perfect place for your medics and doctors to get their combat training.
That's excellent work.
Callahan, your reputation proceeds you, both good and bad.
But the intel is that there's nobody better under fire when somebody's life is on the line.
Dr.
Anawi, you're no Major Jennings.
Hold on.
Syd is certainly difficult to replace, but Dr.
Anawi runs a unit of the White Helmets in Syria.
We know who Dr.
Anawi is.
She's been working with the CIA since med school.
And she's got more actual rescue and combat experience than Major Jennings.
She'll fit in.
So do we have a deal? We have a deal.
Excellent.
It's settled then.
In 90 days, we'll be up and running.
90 days? No, you'll be be up and running start of next week.
Next week? We deploy to a combat zone in 90 days.
If my men and women aren't gonna be ready, I need to know long before then.
Starting Monday, you have three days to convince me that you can turn them into the best combat medics that I've ever seen, or I'm going to Tampa Prez and see if they can.
So in or out? to you - Because I'm damned if I do - In.
You'll have your recruits later today.
Good luck, Doctors.
Drowning with you [Sighs deeply.]
- Well, that was - Unexpected.
You mean the three days or Amira being in the CIA? I guess it's time for all of us to get know each other a little better.
Right, team? Damned if I do Damned if I do Damned if I don't Damned if I don't Don't leave me stranded
