Saving Hope (2012) s04e10 Episode Script

Previously on Saving Hope Come on, Maggie.
Talk to me.
Maggie? Maggie, what just happened? - Are you okay? - Really, Zach, I'm fine.
Okay, this is Shelby.
- Where's my husband? - She's pregnant.
She has a bad laceration on her leg and probably some kind of shrapnel.
We're gonna do everything in our power to make sure the baby is healthy.
You are compromising the sterile environment of my patient.
- Who the hell are you, anyway? - I am the police.
And your patient is the damn bomber.
You're operating on the bomber when innocent people are hurt! I need you to find out if it belongs to anybody who's been admitted.
It's a young woman's arm.
Please.
I'm looking for my daughter.
She was in the run today.
Lane didn't have anything to do with those, did he? When this crisis is done, I'd like to have a word with you on another matter.
Okay, can I ask you what it's about? A sexual assault.
Moving forward, it's gonna be best for the hospital if you just, uh, keep your mouth shut.
Should I send someone to look for Dr.
Lin? No, she probably got caught up with another patient, and either way, this can't wait.
You ready to deliver a baby? Let's do it.
Aah.
Maggie.
Charlie? You can see me? What happened? - Maggie, where are you? - Charlie.
They need you for a consult in the O.
R.
Zach.
Where's Maggie? I don't know.
In the O.
R.
, I think.
Dr.
Bishop, I think you should have a look at this.
Why? Blood pressure's stabilized.
The bleeding's under control.
We've delivered the baby.
I'm talking about the leg.
I'm not liking the look of the tissue here.
Good catch, Sekara.
All right, mark the swelling, and let's finish this up before we give ortho another call.
Charlie.
Speak of the devil.
Hey, where's Maggie? Isn't she supposed to be in here? She went to get clotting factors from the third-floor lab.
Why? Jackson, I'm headed to the lab.
Send a code team after me.
Dr.
Harris, what's going on? Code blue, third-floor lab.
Maggie.
Code blue, third-floor lab.
Pulse is thready.
Give her mannitol.
Let's go, let's go! Pupils are dilated.
- Zach.
- Yes? Hey, look what the Katz dragged in.
Wow.
I forgot how funny you are.
Picked a hell of a day to make a comeback.
Tell me about it.
A patient of mine, Shelby Hart, she was in the bombing.
I got a call she was rushed in for an emergency section.
Yeah, she's up in the O.
R.
right now.
Now? Okay, I need to see her.
Where's Shahir? He needs to be down here.
Maggie! Oh, my God! You go.
Find your patient.
I've got her.
If anything happens, I'll let you know.
Okay.
Where'd you find her? Lab.
Don't know long she was there.
What the hell happened? She was in the bombing.
She was working? Yes, I assessed her for concussion.
Everything checked out, Charlie.
You didn't do anything wrong, Zach.
Oh, tell her that.
Let's get her up to imaging.
I don't know if there's time.
Where's Shahir? I'm right here.
Can I see her, please? - Yeah.
- Excuse me.
Epidural hematoma? Yes, I'm afraid so.
Okay, let's get her up to pictures and then the O.
R.
We only have minutes before there's permanent damage.
Hey, hey.
What happened to her? She has a brain bleed, Alex.
Hopefully Charlie found her in time, but I'll know more once I open her up.
She's gonna be okay, Alex.
She's gonna be okay.
You keep saying that.
How did you know where to find her? Right.
Oh, my God, Charlie.
I saved the guy who did this to her.
Do you know how long she was deprived of oxygen? I'd just be guessing at this point.
I suppose it is just guesswork until she lives or dies.
Wow.
Your bedside manner's really improved, Shahir.
I think this is an instance where emotional detachment works to our advantage, don't you think? Whatever.
Charlie.
I love her, too.
I just I just have a different way of showing it.
Right.
You paged me to assist? Yes, I did.
Scrub up, Dr.
Sekara.
Good luck, guys.
Maggie, talk to me.
I think I was operating.
My patient, Shelby Hart, she's pregnant.
She hurt her leg, I think.
Maggie, Maggie.
Look at me.
You're very sick, okay? No, I don't feel sick.
I feel weird.
That's because you're a ghost.
But it also means I can help you, okay, so so you need to tell me what you need.
I need to be with my patient.
I abandoned her in the O.
R.
Hey.
Hi.
I heard about Maggie.
Yeah.
Uh, she'll pull through.
She has to.
What's that? This is Shelby's leg half an hour ago.
That's it now.
In a half an hour? We have to amputate.
Is that what ortho said? That's what I say.
Look, I know what dead tissue looks like.
If we don't move fast, the infection will spread.
Yeah, and it could kill her.
The explosive was probably made in someone's basement with instructions from the internet.
What a good news day.
Look, you're the one with vascular experience, but if you want me to take this, just say the word.
No.
She's Maggie's patient.
I've got this.
Thanks, though.
Oh, my God.
Dr.
Katz.
Thank God you're here.
It's good to see you, Adam.
The baby? Well, she's small, but all things considered, she's doing great.
We just have to watch her for respiratory problems.
And Shelby? Let's take things one step at a time, okay? Give me a chance to check in with her surgeon.
Mr.
Hart.
How's she doing? I have some information about your wife's condition, if you'll both come with me, please.
The shrapnel damage is extensive.
It's doubtful that the leg will still be viable.
What does that mean? We may have to amputate.
What? No.
You said she was gonna be okay.
She will be.
If we sacrifice the leg.
What if you don't? Then the infection will spread quickly through your wife's body.
Are you saying I might lose both my wife and my baby today? No, that's what we're trying to prevent.
I went to the race this morning to cheer my wife on And now this? I am so sorry.
I will be back as soon as I can, all right? Is it Maggie? No, another patient.
What's wrong? Oh, one of the doctors who works here was injured in the blast.
Dr.
Lin? The one that helped Shelby? Yeah.
Is she gonna be okay? We don't know yet.
Here you go.
Dr.
Miller? What is it, Cassie? I'm busy.
Uh, he came looking for his daughter after the bombing, and I just found her in the morgue.
She's the girl that's arm was severed.
You're sure? Okay.
You got to tell him.
Well, what if I don't know how to do that? You tell the truth, Dr.
Williams.
As painful as it is, it's the easiest thing to remember.
Finish what you started.
My my daughter? Have you found her? Can we speak in the hallway, please? What's wrong? I Tell me.
She didn't make it.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry.
Sh-she's She died in the bombing.
No.
No, no, this can't no.
- Judging by her injuries - No.
I don't think she was in any pain.
What were her injuries? I I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Why? Why would they do this? Why would anyone hurt my little girl? With the blast lung, Mr.
Doe's gonna need constant monitoring.
They've just identified him on the internet.
He's not John Doe anymore.
What's his name? Michael Schneller.
He's a first-year engineering student.
No criminal record, no history of violence.
It's weird, huh? Page me if there are any changes.
Of course.
Susan Park to the nurses' station.
Susan Park to the nurses' station.
Hold this in place, please.
- Asha.
- Yeah? - Will you cover for me? - Sure.
Is everything okay? How's that? Detective.
Yeah? Is this a good time? It's as good as any.
I don't like the word but I'm the victim.
Yeah, I kind of guessed that.
Can you tell me about it? It was violent.
Non-consensual.
Was it a stranger or someone you knew? I know him.
We were involved.
How long ago? Almost a month.
I'll be honest with you.
That makes things tough.
Times have changed, but not as much as you'd think.
I hate to say it, but he-said, she-said almost never works in favor of the victim.
I know.
I will take this wherever you decide.
All right? There's a few things that I have to deal with before I pull the trigger on it.
Thanks for listening.
You say the word, I'll do a hell of a lot more than that.
Mr.
Kelehar.
Don't do this.
He took my little girl.
This won't bring her back.
It'll only ruin your life.
My life's already over.
Cassie, who is this? This is Mr.
Kelehar.
He lost his daughter in the bombing.
Lily! her name was Lily! Sir, please.
I don't want to hurt you.
I want him.
Put the knife down.
She was a good girl.
So strong.
Mr.
Kelehar.
When she was 10, she lost her best friend to leukemia.
Every year, she would raise money in her memory.
That's why she was out there running.
She sounds like she was an amazing girl.
She was.
Big-hearted.
Oh, the biggest.
She wouldn't want anyone else to get hurt today.
But she's gone.
I know.
But for her, for Lily, in her memory, please don't do this.
Please put the knife down.
No.
No, no, no, no, no, no! Applying pressure.
Security! Get me some gauze.
Call security.
Let's go! Your baby's heart rate is good.
Blood pressure, too.
So far, we're not seeing any side effects from the trauma you've suffered.
Thank you.
Adam says you want to take my leg.
We need to get you in the O.
R.
as soon as possible.
We can get a second opinion.
If you take my leg, I'll live.
Yes.
Then do it.
The only thing that matters is the baby, Adam.
I'm gonna name her Rosie.
Rosie, after my mom.
I want to see her.
I want to see my baby before I go into surgery, okay? Of course.
We will make that happen.
Okay.
I need to go over her imaging one more time before I make the cut, so why don't I page you before I bring her into the O.
R.
? Okay.
What happened? A father of one of the victims cut himself in front of Cassie and me.
Jesus, Alex.
He was trying to kill my patient.
You okay? Hey.
- Hey! - What? None of this is your fault.
You said you saw Maggie? Yeah.
Tell her she has to live.
Please.
Maggie.
When you do the amputation, make sure you check her vascular return every two minutes.
I know.
And have Baumann give her the minimum amount of clot busters.
- Maggie.
- She just had a C-section.
We can't have her hemorrhaging.
Maggie! Shelby's stable.
Her baby's fine.
You, however, are still in this state.
So? What does that mean? It means maybe you should stop worrying about Shelby and start worrying about yourself.
You don't understand.
Oh, I understand.
I understand that right after the explosion, you went straight into doctor mode, and started worrying about everybody else and not worrying about you.
I had no choice.
My patients needed me.
Yeah.
And now you're a ghost.
Unlike the rest of the body, the brain and the spinal cord heal unpredictably.
If a neurosurgeon makes one mistake, the damage can be permanent.
Is that clear? Crystal.
- But, Dr.
Hamza - Yes? Isn't this a conflict, operating on Dr.
Lin? If there's five seconds left on the clock and the game is on the line, do you want the ball or not? It depends.
That's why I'm operating because I always want the ball.
I wouldn't have figured you for a basketball fan.
Once my boyfriend explained that the game is more about trigonometry and physics, I was hooked.
Did you ever consider pursuing neurosurgery, Dr.
Sekara? Uh, no, I haven't.
Yeah, well, it's not for everyone.
Our first guest.
I imagine we'll have many more.
How do you stay so calm? I'm not calm, Dr.
Sekara.
I'm just focused.
Dr.
Lin requires that of me.
So does everyone else.
You know, they require that of you, as well.
Okay.
Let's alleviate the pressure of the oculomotor nerve and the brain stem.
Scissors, thank you.
Will they arrest me? I don't know.
I wish I could say no, but I can't.
You'll have to assessed by a psychiatrist when I'm done here.
I'm sorry.
I can't imagine what you're going through.
Do they need me to identify her body? Will she be broken? Jackson, I am free, able, and willing to serve.
Who's next in line? Great.
We got over in the You know, hold that thought.
Please.
Just leave me alone.
Sorry.
I can't.
You've had an awful, awful day.
We all have.
He loved her so much.
It never gets easier.
What kind of comfort are you? Not much.
I'm not much of a hugger, either, but There's a small amount of blood in the ventricle.
Let's make sure we monitor that post-op.
Focus on the task at hand.
I was focusing.
Now you're just making me nervous.
I'm sorry.
I do that.
How long you worked with Dr.
Lin? Since she was a resident.
And you like her.
Yes, of course.
So does everyone else.
That's why they're all up there.
Yeah, she just always seemed a little serious to me.
She's worked hard to be the surgeon that she is.
What if what if she can't be a doctor anymore? There's no point in thinking about that right now.
We won't know until she wakes up if there's any lasting cognitive deficits, okay? Back to work.
How is she? I have no idea.
Shahir hasn't given me an update yet.
How are you? I cleared her for work, and I shouldn't have.
Well, if it makes you feel any better, I saved the life of the guy who did this to her.
It doesn't.
But thanks.
So, do I win the guilt-off? Sure.
What's my prize? Maggie pulls through.
Dr.
Reid? Hi.
Yes, what is it? Your patient, the bomber.
What about him? His blood P.
H.
is way off.
We need you right now.
Can I have his chart.
Talk to me.
B.
P.
is low and dropping.
- Any urine in the bag? - None.
ABGs look terrible.
There's no family present.
All right, then.
Detective.
Can you take off his handcuffs, please? - Dr.
Reid.
- Just do it.
That'll be all, thanks.
At least someone got what they wanted today.
What would you like me to do? Take him off the vent.
Of course, yep.
If any of the board members have any questions, just have them contact me directly.
Okay, till then.
You asked to see me, Dr.
Bell? Yeah.
Come on in, Asha.
Have a seat.
I'm fine.
Just busy.
It's been a brutal day.
So I'll just get right to the point.
I'm gonna press charges against Lane for sexual assault.
Why are you telling me this? Because you're with him now.
And I wanted you to know ahead of time.
'Cause you're hoping I'll back you up and make it two against one.
Well, I'm not gonna deny that it would be a better case against him if you came forward.
- I already told you - I know.
You don't remember where you got your bruises.
That's that is your business.
I'm not gonna pressure you.
That's not my style.
Lane's told me about your style.
Pardon me? You don't get to the top without stepping on someone along the way, and I get it.
I'm not jeopardizing my career just so you can get back at him.
Asha.
I know what Lane did to me, and I'm gonna stop him from doing it to somebody else.
It could get ugly.
I just want you to be prepared for the fallout.
You should go home.
I will.
Just need to do something first.
What's that? It doesn't matter.
It's kind of crazy, actually.
I'm okay with crazy.
I'm good, thanks.
Good night.
You paged me? Yeah, uh, I'll-I'll fill you in on the way down to the O.
R.
Shelby's just down there getting prepped, and I lost my patient the one that I went to the wall to save, the one who is responsible for this whole nightmare.
I'm sorry.
Don't be.
He wanted to die.
I should have let him.
Hey.
Alex, you know you couldn't do that.
It's, uh, Zach.
Maggie's surgery is almost done.
I'll meet you down there.
I love you, Rosie.
More than anything.
You'll be back to see her soon.
You and your family are in great hands with Dr.
Harris, Shelby.
I hear you've been harassing my girlfriend.
I'm not doing this with you.
You're in over your head.
You know that, don't you? I've already contacted the police.
And painted a very sympathetic portrait of yourself, I'm sure.
I just wonder if everybody else is gonna see Dawn Bell the same way that you see Dawn Bell.
We both know what you did to me.
Sweet Dawn Bell a brilliant cardiac surgeon, but also an abuse victim.
Or how about Dr.
Bell a vindictive jilted lover? - You are not gonna make this my fault.
- Oh, no.
This is the same woman who fought to pull the plug on her husband while he was in a coma because he started seeing another woman A much younger woman.
You are cruel.
Ambitious Dr.
Bell, who abandoned her own foster child because she couldn't bear to spend time away from her precious work.
I fought for her.
They wouldn't let me.
- You know that.
- Maybe.
It's just all a different way of seeing things, Dawn.
Don't forget.
This is what I do.
Doing P.
R.
for this hospital means that I've been privy to every move you've made to get you exactly where you are right now.
Are you sure you want all that out there in the open? I'm not afraid of you.
Well, maybe you should be.
You really love her, don't you? Dr.
Reid.
I need you to come with me.
I'm about to operate, detective.
It'll only take a minute.
All right.
This is Clarice Schneller.
Michael was her son.
The detective tells me you did all that you could for Michael, that you treated him just like every other patient.
Thank you.
I don't know how I'll live with myself for what he did.
What he did was monstrous, but he wasn't a monster.
Believe me.
He was sick.
He had these psychotic episodes.
Was he being treated? For a while.
But they switched his medication.
Things got worse.
There were voices in his head telling him what to do.
I didn't get him help in time.
It's all so wrong.
So cruel.
And wrong.
It's okay.
I'll-I'll stay with her.
You go help someone else.
Come.
Here, have a seat.
It's all right.
Hey.
You all right? Uh, the mother of my patient.
You mean the mother of the bomber? Alex, you don't have to do this surgery.
Yeah, I do.
It's the job, right? Hey.
How is she? Stable for now.
We've done everything we could.
Now we wait.
Dr.
Hamza, you're needed in O.
R.
six another victim from the bombing.
I'll stay with her.
Thank you.
There you are.
Dr.
Bishop, I'm You're? I'm sorry.
I just wanted to soften the blow for when her dad I.
D.
s her.
It's pretty crazy.
I told you.
You're a kind person.
What good is that gonna do me in this job? Some people think empathy gets in the way of being a surgeon, but I think it's what will make you a great one.
What can I do to help? Some of the critically injured are being treated on stretchers in the corridors.
Can you check with central and see Dawn? Dawn.
I'm sorry.
Can you say that again? We can't deal with the volume, and we need to move some of these patients.
What, so we can make it somebody else's problem? I'm just saying that we're at a breaking point and we don't want to make any mistakes.
I don't give a damn about reputation.
I know you're overwhelmed.
Everyone is.
But this is our hospital, and these are our patients whether we like it or not.
And we are gonna push through as best as we can, and we are not gonna stop until every last patient gets exactly the care that they deserve.
Got it? Yes, I do.
I can count on you, right? Yes, you can.
Asha.
Just listen.
Please.
I don't know what's going on between the two of you.
That is your business.
But you're not safe, okay? You're not.
And I'm going forward with this.
I don't care what it's gonna cost me.
If you want to do a rotation at another hospital, take some time off, whatever you need, okay? No questions asked.
I've got your back.
Good work, Charlie.
Good and quick.
Eh, no joy being the butcher, but it had to be done.
This job is all I have, Charlie.
What if I can't do it anymore? Try not to think about that now.
I had a bleed in my brain.
What if my memory's affected, my decision making? What if I can't hold a scalpel anymore? Just take a deep breath.
Calm down.
I have spent my entire life dedicated to this profession.
And if it's taken away from me Maggie.
Dr.
Sekara! What's wrong? She's in trouble.
Page Shahir.
We need him now.
Charlie.
Go to Maggie.
Now.
You need to fight.
For your life.
I have nothing to fight for.
We love you, Maggie.
That's worth fighting for.
You all right, Charlie? Hey.
Talk to me.
What's going on? B.
P.
's spiking.
165/110.
Push fluids.
Push everything.
Alex, it's bad.
Where's Shahir? Let me see the imaging.
Was there blood in the fluid chambers? - The ventricles? - A little.
Dr.
Hamza said we'd monitor it post-op.
It must be blocking off her fluid outflow.
Her brain is swelling.
She's got acute hydrocephalus.
Dr.
Hamza's in the middle of another brain surgery.
He's been paged.
She'll be dead before he gets here! Get me a twist drill.
Now.
Passing the catheter into the ventricle.
Alex? I'm just putting in the ventricular drain.
You should take over.
Keep going.
You're doing well.
Maggie, we're all here.
We're all right beside you.
You told me I should heal myself, but in order to treat someone, you have to take a history.
You have to know who they are.
I don't know who I am.
So how do I fix this? I don't know.
But wake up and find out.
Am I okay? Lift your arms, palms up, like you're holding a double goat cheese and anchovy pizza.
I thought you'd never mention that night again.
Count back from 10.
It's good to have you back, Mags.
Hey.
Quit hogging that rock star.
You look good.
Welcome home, Dr.
Lin.
Thank you.
Detective.
I want to press charges against a man named Lane Berkley.
He's a member of the board here at Hope Zion.
He's the one who assaulted me.
Okay.
I'll take an impact statement from you then bring him in for questioning.
We can do that in my office.
I'll see you there.
Oh, and, Dr.
Bell, you should know this is the second time I've heard his name today.
Someone's already come to you? I can't legally say any more.
I'll see you in your office.
Are you sure you want to do this? I did it, didn't I? You did.
Why now? You should have seen the way he looked when he talked about what he was gonna do to you in court.
He wanted to burn you so badly.
You were worried about me? I was worried about me.
That's honest.
I respect that.
He burned me, too.
I have to tell the truth.
So, what do you say we go do just that? Okay.
She's so beautiful.
Both of you are.
We'll give you a moment.
Can I hold Rosie, please? After today, all I want to do is hold my baby.
Soon.
I swear.
But, um, what you can do is touch her.
Thank you.
She looks so peaceful.
No pain.
Lane Berkley.
I need you to come with me.
Dr.
Katz, as I live and breathe.
Well, I'm glad you're doing both.
Can I come in? Well, if you're here to kiss me, Alex beat you to it.
Do tell.
We were all really worried about you.
I thought It's okay.
I'm fine.
You're in the I.
C.
U.
, Maggie.
How could you possibly make this glass half-full? Well, you're here.
I am.
So good to see you.
My patient Shelby Hart? Yeah, she's good.
She's out of the woods.
Baby, too.
- That's great.
- Yeah.
I'll keep you posted.
I think I'll focus on myself for a while.
That sounds like a plan.
Ugh.
I keep telling them to lower the A.
C.
in here.
I'll get you another blanket.
Stay.
Thank you.
It meant the world to him.
I'm glad.
You're welcome.
Good night, Cassie.
Good night.
Hard to believe how quiet it is, huh? I like it.
You know what the buddhists say? If you can't improve on silence Amen to that.
Night, Zach.
Let's do it again tomorrow.
Hey.
Hi.
Shall we? Actually, I'm gonna stay on.
Are you sure you're okay to do that? Yes.
You'll give Luke a kiss for me? I will.
A couple.
I love you.
I know.
