The Night Shift (2014) s04e10 Episode Script
Resurgence
1 [Woman screams, gunfire.]
Stay low.
Stay low.
- [Gunfire continues.]
- [Screaming.]
This way! Two tangos, 12 o'clock, 50 meters out! Multiple people down on both sides! Man: Come on.
Keep going! Let's go! Cover fire! This is us! - Get ready.
Reagan, Boon, on me! - Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.
- Move, move, let's go! - Better hurry, Boon! - [Gasping.]
- Paul, Shannon, on me! - Move, move! Stay low! [Gunfire continues.]
[Distant shouting, gunfire continues.]
Here we go.
Don't worry, ma'am, we got you.
Paul, Shannon, get to work.
Boon, Reagan, another injured person 10 meters out.
Ma'am, we're gonna take care of you, okay? Can I take a look? [Indistinct radio chatter.]
- [Gunshots.]
- [Gasps.]
Stay low.
[Panting.]
- Boon.
Come here.
- [Gunfire continues.]
GSW to the left chest in respiratory distress.
- What else, Boon? - Uh He's bleeding out, come on.
Deviated trachea.
Absent breath sounds on the right and left.
- Diagnosis and treatment.
- Uh needle decompression of the tension pneumothorax.
[Distant shouting.]
[Indistinct radio chatter.]
[Grunts.]
[Gun cocks.]
- [Horn blares.]
- Endex! Endex! End of exercise.
Wrong move, Ranger.
And likely your last.
Don't help her up.
That's a dead body.
Better jock up, boys and girls.
You keep moving like that, your asses are mine.
Train 'em again.
Now! Move! Move! Move, get up.
Move! - [Panting.]
- Drill's over.
What's going on? This is real, Drew.
She didn't get up when everyone else did.
Pulse is fast and irregular, possible atrial fib RVR? Yeah, she needs to get to the E.
R.
now.
We'll take her.
All right, keep me apprised.
Hesitation costs lives, Boon.
Roger that, Sir.
I didn't know which way to go.
There was just a lot going on.
Won't be any less going on in combat.
Hey, look, talk to your teams, refit your gear, we go again in 30 minutes.
Hey.
What the hell was that, Reagan? Now you're dead.
I was eliminating a threat, Sir.
Too bad the threat eliminated you first.
That Ranger tab doesn't make you bulletproof.
Now your unit doesn't have a medic.
Priority number one, protect the patient.
Understand? Sir.
Dismissed.
Hey, did you get a final head count for me and Bella's - engagement party tomorrow? - 100% attendance.
People around here don't usually get invited to the Q Club.
Looks like you're moving on up, Kenny.
Ah, it wasn't my idea.
It was her dad's.
But I'm not paying for it.
So I ain't saying no.
Hey.
Anyways, I'll let Bella know.
She's over there now finalizing all the details.
- All right.
- All right.
You don't think this combat training proposal was something you should've run by me? I confided in you that things are shaky.
And you take this kind of risk without even a phone call? Or an e-mail? I planned on talking to you about this, Julian.
I just didn't expect you here today.
Listen, it's a 3-day trial.
If it works, cash flows in, and your ass is saved.
If it doesn't work, no harm, no foul.
But there is harm if this doesn't work.
Bad publicity for Cummings Medical Group.
It cheapens the brand.
And the bridge loan I need still hasn't been approved.
And if somebody gets hurt or worse, that triggers a lawsuit, and we're dead.
We are taking every possible precaution.
I-I am sure you think you are, but I'm sorry.
I'm pulling the plug.
No, Julian, please.
Just trust me.
We can make this work.
I did trust you, Scott.
But now I learned that was a mistake, too.
I just found out through the gossip mill that you and Jordan lost a baby together.
You don't think that that was relevant for me to know? [Siren wails in distance.]
Not exactly something I want to talk about.
Our past is our past, but how 'bout we agree to keep our future and present honest? Attention, everybody, there's been a mass shooting at San Antonio Southern University.
There are multiple casualties and they're asking for - all hands on deck.
- [Door closes.]
SWAT is on their way to take you in right now.
Reagan, Boon, you're up.
You're coming with us.
Yes, sir.
Drew, Jordan, let's go.
No, no.
Not these people.
What? These aren't pasty first-year interns.
These are doctors and medics who are training for combat.
We train as we fight.
It's the best training there is.
There's no training program anymore.
- I'm ending this here and now.
- No, he isn't.
I run this hospital.
T.
C.
, go.
And I own this hospital.
And my contract gives me the authority to run it.
- T.
C.
, take your teams now.
- All right.
- [Whistles.]
Let's go.
Come on.
- Callahan! You get back here! Callahan.
You son of a bitch.
Julian, I am doing what I feel is best for this hospital.
So much so you're willing to bet your job? If this goes south, you're done, and you're paying me back every bit of that bonus.
Scott, hey.
Are you sure about this? [Sighs.]
Yeah, I'm sure.
It's like I said, this is my hospital, and we're doing things my way.
Watch your back out there, okay? Yeah, you watch your back in here.
[Monitor beeping.]
[Defibrillator whines.]
[Siren wailing in distance.]
So what happened out there, Hannah? I'm not sure.
I was running and then I woke up and I saw you guys.
We had to be at the combat training.
What brought you? Just a glutton for punishment? The hospital paid us 50 bucks to roleplay.
That's a new socket set and a couple of spark plugs.
Motorhead, are ya? Try to be.
I spend every minute after my classes in my friend's shop.
- Much to my parents' chagrin.
- They don't like their daughter sweating under 4,000 pounds of steel? They like her toiling in a classroom a whole lot more.
All right, we're just gonna take a quick look at your chest, okay? Okay.
[Machine buzzes.]
I come from a long line of academics.
The kind of folks who would rather theorize how something works for an hour rather than feel it with their hands and figure it out.
Dated some guys like that.
[Chuckles.]
Not you.
- [Groans.]
- [Monitor beeping.]
My chest.
[Breathing heavily.]
Jocelyn, run another EKG.
Okay, irregular pulse and she's in rapid AFib.
Push a 20 of dilt IV.
20 of dilt going in.
[Monitor beeping rapidly.]
[Breathing heavily.]
Are you okay, Hannah? Yeah, just dizzy.
Weird.
I don't know what's going on today.
Double apical impulse.
Okay, any heart problems in your family? No.
Why? What's going on? You have an irregular heartbeat, and we're not sure why, but we're gonna run some tests and we'll figure it out.
[Exhales deeply.]
Whatever you say, Doc.
Let's just get under the hood and get her done.
Woman: This just in.
I am live outside the campus of San Antonio Southern University after tragedy struck today - at the commencement ceremonies.
- [Gunfire, sirens wailing.]
Police officers are keeping us several blocks away following a mass shooting that has left dozens dead and scores injured.
We have obtained footage of the graduation event.
And I must warn you, this video contains graphic content.
- before YouTube was even created.
- [Applause.]
- [Gunshot.]
- [Screaming.]
Oh, my goodness! Reporter: Protestors took matters into their own hands when they did not approve of the commencement speaker.
SWAT team is on the scene now.
The shooters are still at large.
- [Indistinct radio chatter.]
- [Distant screaming.]
Man: Let's go.
Keep moving, keep moving.
All right, stay alert.
[Screaming continues.]
- Where are you going? - Hunting.
We got reports of multiple shooters still active.
And they're placing IEDs, so don't touch anything, okay? - Just be careful.
- You be careful.
Okay, Reagan, you're with Drew and I on search party.
- Jordan - We'll run triage.
Let's go.
- Where do you want me, Sir? - It's gonna be a busy night, Boon.
I need you on triage.
Let's go.
Hey, no hero stuff, all right? These bullets are real.
[Gunfire, screaming.]
Spread out.
We don't want one round catching the both of us.
Relax.
You have 5 meters.
Yeah, well, we're out in the open, so push out to 10, or were you sleeping that day in Ranger school? Definitely not a lot of sleeping in Ranger school, Sir.
But I guess you already knew that, Sir.
Or maybe you don't, Sir.
Putting a "Sir" on the end doesn't hide the disrespect, Lieutenant.
I may not be a Ranger, but I've had men die in my arms in combat, so drop the attitude.
- He's gone.
- [Rapid gunfire, screaming.]
Get down, get down.
[Screaming, gunfire continues.]
[Gunfire continues.]
[Screaming, crying, shouting indistinctly.]
- Come on.
Let's go.
- Man: Come on.
This way! [Groaning.]
I'm Dr.
Callahan.
This is Dr.
Alister and Reagan.
- What's your name, Sir? - [Coughing.]
Wyatt.
[Sobs.]
Okay.
All right, we gotta stop this bleeding.
He can't breathe.
I'm on it.
We're sitting ducks in here.
We gotta do it back at triage.
- [Gunfire.]
- Hold that.
- I got it.
- All right.
- All right, I got it, I got it.
- Good.
My leg! I've been shot.
[Groans.]
Okay, there's no going back from where we came.
- [Gunfire continues.]
- The shooters are everywhere.
Too many shooters.
Let's get inside.
- Here we go.
One, two, three.
- [Groans.]
[Indistinct radio chatter, indistinct shouting.]
You're all right.
No problem.
[Distant shouting.]
Jordan, we got another GSW.
All right, let's set her down.
All right, guys.
Thank you.
Hi.
My name's Dr.
Alexander.
I'm gonna take care of you.
Hey, Boon, get in here.
We got a GSW to the left foot.
- Gotta stop the bleeding.
- It's funny, 'cause I've done this a hundred times in training, it's just Just never with bullets flying around.
Imagine you're back in training, execute what you know, all right? - You got this.
Here.
- Thanks, Doctor.
Hey.
You have a really nice touch with people.
I lead an organization composed almost entirely of men where I'm from.
They sense even a hint of weakness, my team suffers, and so do my patients.
Yeah, well, I deal with that here, too.
Hi.
Hey, Docs.
Got a call from a wounded EM hiding on the west side of campus.
I got a full bus of patients I gotta get back to SAM.
- Can you help look for him? - Yeah, you got it.
This guy needs a yellow tag.
Boon, you're in charge.
Uh, okay.
Don't worry.
You're safe here.
[Indistinct radio chatter.]
The medicine slowed down your heart rate, and then your heart converted back to its normal rhythm.
You know what's causing this? Well, your echo shows some abnormal enlargement in your heart, so I'd like to get a cardiac MRI for a more precise evaluation.
Thanks, Scott.
Uh, you got a sec? Yeah.
[Monitor beeping steadily.]
Hey, so, I heard you got into it with my dad.
- What's that about? - [Sighs.]
What's it always about? Control.
Don't worry.
It'll work out one way or another.
- But you're staying, right? - We'll talk later.
[Monitor beeping steadily.]
Uh, okay, so we've gotta run some more tests.
Really? I I was hoping I'd be out of here by now.
I promised my friend I'd help him work on a car tonight.
Some guy's bringing in a '63 Stingray.
Well, I'm afraid that we have to - The split window coupe? - That's the one.
You have a passion for cars, Hannah.
Why are you in school? My parents would rather pay for books than tools.
- So buy them yourself.
- Uh, Shannon? I don't wanna disappoint them.
I love them too much.
Sometimes disappointing the people you love is a part of life.
It sucks, but it's your life.
You have to do what's right for you.
Shannon.
Wow, uh, did I say something wrong? No, no, no.
Not at all.
Sorry about that.
She can be a little intense.
Anyways, let's check this out and then get those tests running.
Okay.
And get you out of here as quick as possible, okay? - [Door thuds.]
- We're clear.
[Groans.]
- Watch his head.
- Aah! Careful.
All right.
GSW left leg.
Reagan, take a look.
- [Groaning continues.]
- Just soft tissue, Sir.
T.
C.
: Okay, slap an Israeli bandage on it.
We gotta stop this bleeding.
Yeah, he's burst a blood vessel.
We gotta cauterize it.
With what? [Indistinct radio chatter.]
Uh, Wyatt, you know anyone who graduated today? Yeah, I know a lot of them.
I'm a teacher.
This is a tragedy.
You know, I didn't care for the commencement speaker either, but what they've done betrays whatever point they're trying to make.
Yeah, sometimes when you run out of things to say, your anger speaks the loudest.
What do you teach? [Groans.]
History.
Why? Remember those Civil War stories about amputees biting down on bullets during surgery to deal with the pain? Yes.
Start bitin'.
Wait.
Wait, wait, wait - [Sizzling.]
- Aah! [Scream echoes.]
There's no SWAT.
We have a medic out there.
We gotta move.
Okay.
Cover stops bullets.
Concealment doesn't.
We need cover.
Okay.
Hi.
I'm Dr.
Alexander.
This is Dr.
Anawi.
Can you tell me your name? Nick.
I've been shot in the abdomen.
Okay, let me see.
He's not walking out of here.
[Distant gunfire.]
Maybe we aren't either.
[Whispers.]
Hey.
Come here.
[Indistinct radio chatter.]
- What's the problem? - This man has multiple GSWs.
We have to get him out of here or he'll bleed out.
Ah! [Shell casing clatters.]
Anything else? I'm putting wings on pigs today.
- [Gunshot.]
- Aah! Saw she was flagging you.
You guys okay? - Much better now.
Thank you.
- You went out without an escort.
- You can't do that.
- [Indistinct radio chatter.]
- Come on.
- [Groaning.]
She's still alive.
Not for long.
And I say let nature take its course.
We don't do that here.
Aah! Ah! The numbers are backwards.
They've infiltrated law enforcement.
We don't know who the good guys are at the moment.
You guys see any other cops? None, no.
Okay, pass it on.
Tell the other cops to roll up their left sleeve.
Word of mouth only.
No radio.
Go! - Yes, Sir.
- We can still save her.
- [Groaning.]
- [Rapid gunfire in distance.]
Let's take her to triage.
- Aah! - Come on.
[Gasps.]
Wait, really? This is mine.
Of course.
Kenny, with all this craziness, I haven't had a chance to officially welcome you into my family.
- Thanks, Dr.
Cummings.
- Ah, call me Julian.
Okay.
Julian, I appreciate that.
You remind me of myself at a younger age.
Pulled up by the bootstraps, not dependent on anyone else.
I was too soft on my kids.
Spoiled them rotten.
They were lucky to have you.
[Scoffs.]
Well, do me a favor and let them know.
[Laughs.]
I will.
Keep up the good work.
- I see a lot of potential in you.
- [Elevator bell dings.]
Maybe one day you walk through these doors in a suit instead of scrubs.
You're a Cummings by proxy now.
- Oh, hey, son.
- Dad.
Kenny.
Hey, you realize that that's just more than just a watch, right? How do you mean? It's best to be a part of the family, but stay away from the family business, and gifts like that just end up getting you sucked in even more.
Well, maybe I wanna get sucked in.
That man has been nothing full of love and supportive since I proposed to your sister.
He said I have potential.
Now I know that may be lip service to you, but it means something to me.
So if you'll excuse me, I only have five minutes left on my break.
Think you're saving me, bitch? Save yourselves.
You're all just pawns of the imperialist state! - Lovely manner on this one.
- Yeah, she's a real sweetheart.
- Boon.
- [Breathing heavily.]
You have an entry wound on the lower flank.
Exit wound, anterior abdomen.
This university ignored our protest.
So we stopped asking for justice and decided to take it.
We vote where the power is, and our power's in the streets.
Honey, that's a top-of-the-line nose job.
You don't look very street to me.
- [Groans.]
- Chest is clear.
Weak pulse, probably hypotensive.
Let's start some IV fluids.
Here's some NS.
There's nothing more we can do here.
Her abdomen's rigid.
Boon, get an ETA on the ambulance.
What about Reagan and the sirs? We can't just leave them here.
This is not a discussion.
- Never leave a man behind.
- Boon! I'll find 'em.
Boon! [Indistinct radio chatter, siren wailing.]
All right, you are one tough customer.
[Groans.]
Tell that to my wife.
Obstinance and academia are not synonymous in her eyes.
- How long you been married? - A year.
We recently embarked on building our legacy.
[Groans.]
What did you do? Bury some treasure? No, we started trying to have children.
There is no greater service one can provide the human race than to proliferate its existence.
Tell me about it.
I became a father last year.
- Best 12 months of my life.
- [Groans.]
- What's wrong, Wyatt? - [Groans.]
I'm embarrassed to say this, but my, uh, my testicles are killing me.
Doctor? All right, stand up.
Drop your pants.
- [Groans.]
- [Unzips.]
[Groans.]
I hate to say this, Wyatt, but you have a bilateral testicular torsion.
I certainly hope that sounds better in English.
Your balls were stomped and twisted in the stampede, Wyatt.
They're not getting enough blood.
- Nope, not any better.
- Reagan.
All right, so the longer it takes to restore blood, the lowered chance you have at fertility.
- We gotta get him to an E.
R.
now.
- [Knocking.]
[Knocking continues.]
- Pull your pants up.
- [Knocking continues.]
Man: Police.
Open up! It's the police.
Open up! - We're here to get you out.
- By yourself? We're spread pretty thin, ma'am.
And many others need help.
Will you open up, please? Slide your badge under the door.
The numbers are backwards.
- [Gunshots.]
- [Gasps.]
I'll check the other door.
Are you good? Yeah.
Go.
There's nowhere to run.
Just open up and let us put you out of your misery.
- We'll make it quick.
- [Pounding.]
Bullet to the head and it's all over.
You won't feel a thing.
[Grunting.]
- [Loud thud.]
- Drew: Reagan! [Grunting.]
[Groans.]
[Gunshot.]
[Grunts.]
[Gunshots.]
Boon! I almost shot you.
Call it out when you're coming into a room.
Sorry.
Ambulances.
They're waiting by the triage site.
Dr.
Alexander said we need to move now.
Good job, Boon.
I think two of the shots hit him.
- Yeah.
- Protect the patient, right? Fast learner.
Let's go.
[Siren wails in distance.]
[Indistinct conversation.]
Hey, Paul.
Hannah's up for MRI.
Yeah, coming.
I already bit off more than I can chew.
You took another bite.
How can you be so confident? Because I trust the people that work in this hospital, Julian.
And so should you.
Male, 40s, GSW left leg.
He's also got bilateral testicular torsion.
- We need Bella now.
- Yeah, I'll call her back in.
25-year-old female, GSW to the left flank.
- Taking her to Trauma One.
- Stabilize and I'll be right in.
Hey, I got a dozen more coming in after, - but I need you here with me.
- Let's go.
[Sirens wailing.]
[Indistinct conversations.]
[Screaming.]
Hurts, doesn't it? My pain is nothing like the pain the minorities and poor of this country feel every day.
Who elected you as their prophet? The leaders of a police state that calls itself free! [Grunts.]
I won't stand idly by while others are beaten and murdered! Boon, will you get her something for the pain to shut her up? Yes, ma'am.
This woman's tried to kill us and spews nothing but filth yet you still must care for her comfort.
Yeah, well, welcome to my world.
10 of morphine.
Going in.
[Breathing heavily.]
She's got fluid in Morrison's pouch.
Let's get her to C.
T.
[Retches.]
Her pressure stopped again.
Two units of O-neg.
What have we got? Belly full of blood.
Multifocal exsanguination.
Let's get her up to the O.
R.
I'll open her up.
[Indistinct radio chatter.]
You think we should've stuck it out longer - in combat training? - No way.
Those other people might've signed up for military, but I most certainly did not.
We tapped out awful early.
I don't like being seen as a quitter.
You care way too much about what other people think of you, Paul.
You mean like when you read your evaluation from Jordan? Being unable to do something and not wanting to are two different things.
I was able, not willing.
I don't know.
Maybe there's something to this whole combat training thing.
You know, getting outside my comfort zone, pushing myself in new ways, it could open up some doors.
You've had ever door open to you since you were born.
What other doors do you need to go through? That's not how I meant it.
A lot of people have rich parents and they screw it up.
You did something with your opportunity.
I'm just saying all this military stuff, that's not what I signed up for.
Meaning? Meaning between that and my dust-up with Jordan, it's got me thinking.
Maybe I don't belong here anymore.
Hey, you're kidding, right? You're you're not leaving.
I don't know.
But if I stay, the only thing keeping me here is you.
Drew: I bet when he woke up this morning, he didn't think he'd end up here.
Yeah, well, that makes two of us.
Is that a drive on tab? My husband kept it in his patrol cab during Ranger school for good luck.
Took him straight through.
It was supposed to do the same thing for me.
Supposed to? What's your story? Why didn't you ever go? Mm, medical school, residency life.
I was supposed to go next week, but my replacement fell through.
So I got stuck here training your sorry ass.
That sucks.
Hmm.
May I? You know what I gave up for this? Buck 50 at the PX? No, that's what I paid.
I'm talking about what it cost.
I missed the birth of my niece.
I promised my sister that I would be there for her after her husband ran out and I wasn't.
I also lost the love of my life because I made every spare minute about training.
And it made my goals more important than him.
[Voice breaks.]
And after all that, I don't even have my identity.
I'm not Reagan and I'm I'm not a Ranger.
I'm a "chick" Ranger.
One of the first.
And because of that, I will always have an asterisk by my name.
So just make sure that whatever you're getting is worth more than what you're giving up.
Okay.
So, Hannah, you have what's called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
I'm guessing that's not good.
Well, most people with it have a normal life expectancy, but it can be associated with a sudden cardiac death - in young patients.
- Death? That's rare.
You didn't pass out from the fall.
You passed out because your heart couldn't handle how fast it was beating.
So I I'm a ticking time bomb? Well, we're putting you on medication to regulate your heart rate.
It's not a cure, but it should help.
This training was a blessing.
Otherwise, we never would have caught it.
You're lucky to be alive, Hannah.
Yeah, but like you said, what am I even doing with this life? I shouldn't have said that.
I was actually talking about myself.
I have issues.
But you were right.
All this time just trying to please my family.
Torturing myself in a classroom when the only place I ever wanna be is in the shop.
So you're leaving school? Hell, yeah.
I'm done living for everybody else when I may not even live.
You were right.
You gotta live for yourself.
So what happens to Bernadine, our left-wing lunatic now? Well, when Scott's done with her and she's stable, we're gonna let the boys in blue take it from there.
In Syria, there'd be a hole in the desert with her name on it.
Seriously, woman, you have got to chill with the doom and gloom.
Sorry.
I'm peevish these days.
My treatment's not going well.
Treatment? I have MS.
T.
C.
didn't tell you? Uh, no.
He didn't.
Uh, do you mind me asking what kind of medications you're taking? Excuse me, can we talk? Is it a patient? Can it wait a second? No and no.
It's okay.
We'll catch up later.
Sure.
What's up? I wanted you to hear this from me, unlike how I was blindsided by you.
I've applied for other residencies, so now you know.
Uh, whoa.
Shannon, wait, wait, wait.
Stop, slow down.
Hey.
Is this about your evaluation? No.
This is about this place becoming a war zone.
Doctors rappelling from helicopters, running into burning buildings.
A few hours ago, I was in friggin' body armor.
That's not why I became a doctor.
Shannon, look, SAM became what it needed to to survive, and you can, too.
This is a perfect opportunity for you to hone your strengths, improve your weaknesses.
It'd be good for you.
I wanna thrive at something I love, not survive something I don't.
That's why I'm considering returning to my clinic on the res, see if it's a better fit.
- Can we least talk about this? - We just did.
[Door opens.]
[Door closes.]
Hey, Paul.
You wanted to talk to me about something? Yeah, I was hoping to get some career advice.
Okay.
Shoot.
I was thinking about exploring some medical opportunities overseas.
Africa, Middle East.
And, uh, I was hoping you maybe could help with that.
- Africa? - Yeah.
Paul, you haven't even been downtown.
Not true.
I was I was there last year during the riot.
You know it got pretty hairy.
I handled myself.
- I'm up to the challenge.
- [Refrigerator door closes.]
[Exhales.]
Are you sure this isn't about proving something to your dad? No.
It's not.
All right, look, it's about challenging myself and growing up.
T.
C.
, I am surrounded by men and women who serve, and I wanna do something.
Plus, how am I supposed to teach these soldiers when I've never done anything close to what they've done? Well, you're teaching them medicine.
You know how it is over there, okay? - It's not the same medicine.
- Okay, okay.
I got a buddy who works in inner-city Dallas.
Go work with him, six months, a year.
Start off in the shallow end, see how it feels I'm a good doctor, T.
C.
, okay?! And I can be as great or as brave as anyone else here.
I just need my opportunity.
I just need someone to open the door for me.
Okay.
[Container clatters.]
You sure? I'm sure.
Okay.
Fine.
I can do something.
Yeah.
[Pats shoulder.]
So I may never have children? I heard you say once there was nothing more important than creating future generations.
It's not just through birth children, Wyatt.
My husband and I, we adopted our daughter.
And you better believe she's carrying on the best and the worst of us.
And your legacy gets passed on through your students.
I mean, you've passed on all your knowledge to hundreds of people who are using it to improve their lives.
You don't just have one kid, Wyatt.
- You have a thousand of 'em.
- Get some rest.
We want you on your feet and back in the classroom ASAP so you can have a thousand more.
- Thank you.
Thank you, doctors.
- Yeah.
[Groans.]
Thanks for a hell of a first day, Sir.
Oh, don't thank me yet, Lieutenant.
You're cleaning the blood out of all the ambulances.
Really? That'd be, "Really, Sir.
" And I want them gleaming.
[Mutters.]
So does T.
C.
know the treatment's not working? Not the extent, and there's nothing he can do.
God knows he'd try.
He can be very endearing and annoying at the same time.
Yeah.
Yes, he can.
You know, Amira, I'm really glad you're here.
It's been, um unexpected.
[Chuckles.]
Likewise.
We should enjoy each other's company while we still have it.
What do you mean? Oh, we're back in Syria in two weeks.
"We.
" T.
C.
and I.
Had he not told you? I'm sure he thought he did in his own obtuse way, but no, he didn't.
He told me that he would stay and help me get this program off the ground.
Well, he's not being on the up and up with one of us.
Yeah, well, I'm sure he just didn't wanna disappoint me.
Yeah, maybe it's me he didn't wanna disappoint.
It's clear I'm falling to pieces Dr.
Callahan, will you sign something? Somebody else's Do you still love him? I'm not good at small talk.
My work and life lends itself to one saying what they mean.
I will always love T.
C.
, but I'm not in love with him.
You really think there's a difference? Not good at letting go You bloody Americans.
[Chuckles.]
[Sighs.]
Not good at letting go I'm not good at letting go - [Siren wailing in distance.]
- To a job well done, Clemmens.
You, too, Dr.
Cummings.
More to come the next two days, Colonel.
I don't need it.
I've seen enough.
My people belong to yours for the balance of my 90 days.
You won the contract.
That's an incredible show of faith, Colonel.
We worked very hard to gain your trust.
We won't let you down.
Better not.
Gonna be a lot of Army eyeballs on this now.
Oh, why just Army? Why not Navy, Air Force, Marines, SWAT teams, NATO? Our international allies.
Hell, we can grow this program across the services and around the world.
And that was your plan all along.
Right, Dr.
Cummings? Right, Dr.
Clemmens.
Ha, listen to that shine.
You make a damn fine officer, Clemmens.
Ah, thank you, Colonel, but I work for a living.
- [Laughs.]
- Come on.
We'll walk you out.
Man, sorry about earlier.
I had a lot on my mind tonight, and I was way out of line.
It's all good, man.
Um, I know you and your dad have been through a lot.
You just gotta understand where I'm coming from.
You know, give me the space to be me.
I don't want any awkward holiday dinners in our future.
That will not be a problem going forward.
'Cause six months from now, we're gonna be family.
In my eyes, we already are, man.
- Mine, too.
- Hey, fiancé.
- What's up, fiancée? - Really? - [Laughs.]
- How you doing, huh? - I'm good.
How are you? - [Chuckles.]
All right, y'all.
Y'all better be ready for a party tonight! [Cheering.]
L.
T.
D.
: Every time I move, I lose When I look I'm in And every time I turn around, I'm back in love I get mixed emotions [Laughter.]
It's the way my feelings flow Whoo! Excuse me, I'm only human Sometimes I, I just don't know [Cheering.]
[Exhales deeply.]
Hell of a time to update your diary.
Yeah.
No, Kenny asked me to give a toast.
And I have gone over my remarks for the umpteenth time, and right now I am hoping I am a better orator than I am a mentor.
I'm sure you will be.
I mean [Groans.]
I'm really sorry about earlier.
I've been unhappy for a while now, and I didn't know how to handle it.
Neither did I.
I have a compromise to offer you.
You go back to the clinic for six weeks, no longer, and when you're done, you come back to SAM, and we'll go from there.
Wow, thank you.
Uh, I don't know many E.
R.
chiefs who would do that.
None would.
Shannon, I'm not doing this as your boss.
I'm doing it as your friend.
[Laughter, indistinct conversations in distance.]
This is quite a family you have here.
And they all worship you.
Why would you ever want to leave this? Oh, believe me, they get tired of me pretty fast.
I can wear on people.
Yeah.
You and I both have that in common.
[Chuckles.]
So did you tell your dad yet? Uh [Sighs.]
Waiting for the right moment.
Well, maybe you should reconsider, come with me instead.
There's nothing I'd like more.
But the die has been cast, you know? They never miss what they never had Then I can get home and see your face I'm giving you your tab back.
Drew, you need this.
Everything I need is at home or in this room.
And I'm not gonna risk losing any of it.
I can't accept this.
For too long, I've been the selfish one.
Urging you not to go, preventing you from achieving something that I already had.
I was wrong.
Rick, it's not you.
It's work.
It's Cain quitting.
I can't give up Chief Resident.
I can't let my work family down.
I can't let my real family down, you, Brie Your mother, because I don't think she's ever leaving.
We're not getting the office back anytime soon.
[Laughs.]
Look, you may never be a Ranger, but that's not gonna be because I prevented you.
You miss this class, but there's always gonna be another opportunity.
So go and get your own tab.
Then you can give me mine back.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Ray.
Are you double dipping those? - Just the tip.
- Oh, you filthy animal.
May I make you a drink? [Sighs.]
Yes, please.
And make it a double so I can get through this speech.
[Cork pops, alcohol pouring.]
I hear you're leaving.
I agreed to stay until you won the contract Seems to be wrapping up quicker than expected.
[Ice rattles.]
So back to Syria, then.
- [Ice rattles.]
- Well, I made a commitment.
[Bottle thuds.]
People over there need help.
I have people in San Antonio that need help, too.
- No.
- [Ice clinks.]
San Antonio is in good hands.
Doesn't need me anymore.
[Glasses clink.]
[Glass thuds.]
San Antonio still needs you.
But I understand.
Syria needs you, too.
I get it.
Yeah.
Syria is something else.
It's not like I'm leaving San Antonio for good.
You might be this time.
[Glasses clinking.]
Well, that's my cue.
[Ice rattling.]
San Antonio will miss you.
You know who I am Good evening, everyone.
On behalf of Kenny, Bella, and the Cummings family, I would like to welcome you to the party.
When two people find each other, they embark upon a journey.
And on that journey, two become one a single force stronger than its previous parts.
And no amount of time, space, or matter can sever that bond.
It's unbreakable.
Wild, wild horses Things you once thought the others' business becomes yours.
When they laugh, you laugh.
When they cry, you cry.
I watched you suffer And when they hurt, well, you better believe you're hurting, too.
The journey is a shared experience of love and mercy, triumph and tragedy, hope and pain.
Now there will be ups and downs.
You know, as they say, man plans, God laughs, but if you can push through the struggle, fight through the pain, you can make it through anything.
Let this night be a reminder that whatever the future brings, every fear, every moment of happiness or sorrow, you'll be stronger in the face of it.
Because whether you're in each other's arms Or halfway around the world Wild horses you'll be facing it together.
So, everyone, I think that deserves a toast to Kenny and Bella.
- Man: Hear, hear.
- Cheers.
Cheers! [Glasses clinking.]
Couldn't drag me away This week, we'll be focusing on improvised field surgery when you don't have the equipment you need to save your patient.
Everybody, drop your gear right over here.
We're gonna get on these vans and head out to the wilderness.
Let's go.
Couldn't drag me away Where's Drew? He's never late.
Ranger school.
A slot opened up.
But doesn't that leave us shorthanded? No.
Found a replacement.
Let's go, let's go! Get in the vans.
This isn't a class picnic.
What are you doing here? Well, I took Drew's spot.
Paul took my place in Syria.
I wasn't ready to say goodbye to San Antonio.
[Car door closes.]
You ready? I'm ready.
Wild horses Couldn't drag me away Wild, wild horses We'll ride them someday
Stay low.
Stay low.
- [Gunfire continues.]
- [Screaming.]
This way! Two tangos, 12 o'clock, 50 meters out! Multiple people down on both sides! Man: Come on.
Keep going! Let's go! Cover fire! This is us! - Get ready.
Reagan, Boon, on me! - Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.
- Move, move, let's go! - Better hurry, Boon! - [Gasping.]
- Paul, Shannon, on me! - Move, move! Stay low! [Gunfire continues.]
[Distant shouting, gunfire continues.]
Here we go.
Don't worry, ma'am, we got you.
Paul, Shannon, get to work.
Boon, Reagan, another injured person 10 meters out.
Ma'am, we're gonna take care of you, okay? Can I take a look? [Indistinct radio chatter.]
- [Gunshots.]
- [Gasps.]
Stay low.
[Panting.]
- Boon.
Come here.
- [Gunfire continues.]
GSW to the left chest in respiratory distress.
- What else, Boon? - Uh He's bleeding out, come on.
Deviated trachea.
Absent breath sounds on the right and left.
- Diagnosis and treatment.
- Uh needle decompression of the tension pneumothorax.
[Distant shouting.]
[Indistinct radio chatter.]
[Grunts.]
[Gun cocks.]
- [Horn blares.]
- Endex! Endex! End of exercise.
Wrong move, Ranger.
And likely your last.
Don't help her up.
That's a dead body.
Better jock up, boys and girls.
You keep moving like that, your asses are mine.
Train 'em again.
Now! Move! Move! Move, get up.
Move! - [Panting.]
- Drill's over.
What's going on? This is real, Drew.
She didn't get up when everyone else did.
Pulse is fast and irregular, possible atrial fib RVR? Yeah, she needs to get to the E.
R.
now.
We'll take her.
All right, keep me apprised.
Hesitation costs lives, Boon.
Roger that, Sir.
I didn't know which way to go.
There was just a lot going on.
Won't be any less going on in combat.
Hey, look, talk to your teams, refit your gear, we go again in 30 minutes.
Hey.
What the hell was that, Reagan? Now you're dead.
I was eliminating a threat, Sir.
Too bad the threat eliminated you first.
That Ranger tab doesn't make you bulletproof.
Now your unit doesn't have a medic.
Priority number one, protect the patient.
Understand? Sir.
Dismissed.
Hey, did you get a final head count for me and Bella's - engagement party tomorrow? - 100% attendance.
People around here don't usually get invited to the Q Club.
Looks like you're moving on up, Kenny.
Ah, it wasn't my idea.
It was her dad's.
But I'm not paying for it.
So I ain't saying no.
Hey.
Anyways, I'll let Bella know.
She's over there now finalizing all the details.
- All right.
- All right.
You don't think this combat training proposal was something you should've run by me? I confided in you that things are shaky.
And you take this kind of risk without even a phone call? Or an e-mail? I planned on talking to you about this, Julian.
I just didn't expect you here today.
Listen, it's a 3-day trial.
If it works, cash flows in, and your ass is saved.
If it doesn't work, no harm, no foul.
But there is harm if this doesn't work.
Bad publicity for Cummings Medical Group.
It cheapens the brand.
And the bridge loan I need still hasn't been approved.
And if somebody gets hurt or worse, that triggers a lawsuit, and we're dead.
We are taking every possible precaution.
I-I am sure you think you are, but I'm sorry.
I'm pulling the plug.
No, Julian, please.
Just trust me.
We can make this work.
I did trust you, Scott.
But now I learned that was a mistake, too.
I just found out through the gossip mill that you and Jordan lost a baby together.
You don't think that that was relevant for me to know? [Siren wails in distance.]
Not exactly something I want to talk about.
Our past is our past, but how 'bout we agree to keep our future and present honest? Attention, everybody, there's been a mass shooting at San Antonio Southern University.
There are multiple casualties and they're asking for - all hands on deck.
- [Door closes.]
SWAT is on their way to take you in right now.
Reagan, Boon, you're up.
You're coming with us.
Yes, sir.
Drew, Jordan, let's go.
No, no.
Not these people.
What? These aren't pasty first-year interns.
These are doctors and medics who are training for combat.
We train as we fight.
It's the best training there is.
There's no training program anymore.
- I'm ending this here and now.
- No, he isn't.
I run this hospital.
T.
C.
, go.
And I own this hospital.
And my contract gives me the authority to run it.
- T.
C.
, take your teams now.
- All right.
- [Whistles.]
Let's go.
Come on.
- Callahan! You get back here! Callahan.
You son of a bitch.
Julian, I am doing what I feel is best for this hospital.
So much so you're willing to bet your job? If this goes south, you're done, and you're paying me back every bit of that bonus.
Scott, hey.
Are you sure about this? [Sighs.]
Yeah, I'm sure.
It's like I said, this is my hospital, and we're doing things my way.
Watch your back out there, okay? Yeah, you watch your back in here.
[Monitor beeping.]
[Defibrillator whines.]
[Siren wailing in distance.]
So what happened out there, Hannah? I'm not sure.
I was running and then I woke up and I saw you guys.
We had to be at the combat training.
What brought you? Just a glutton for punishment? The hospital paid us 50 bucks to roleplay.
That's a new socket set and a couple of spark plugs.
Motorhead, are ya? Try to be.
I spend every minute after my classes in my friend's shop.
- Much to my parents' chagrin.
- They don't like their daughter sweating under 4,000 pounds of steel? They like her toiling in a classroom a whole lot more.
All right, we're just gonna take a quick look at your chest, okay? Okay.
[Machine buzzes.]
I come from a long line of academics.
The kind of folks who would rather theorize how something works for an hour rather than feel it with their hands and figure it out.
Dated some guys like that.
[Chuckles.]
Not you.
- [Groans.]
- [Monitor beeping.]
My chest.
[Breathing heavily.]
Jocelyn, run another EKG.
Okay, irregular pulse and she's in rapid AFib.
Push a 20 of dilt IV.
20 of dilt going in.
[Monitor beeping rapidly.]
[Breathing heavily.]
Are you okay, Hannah? Yeah, just dizzy.
Weird.
I don't know what's going on today.
Double apical impulse.
Okay, any heart problems in your family? No.
Why? What's going on? You have an irregular heartbeat, and we're not sure why, but we're gonna run some tests and we'll figure it out.
[Exhales deeply.]
Whatever you say, Doc.
Let's just get under the hood and get her done.
Woman: This just in.
I am live outside the campus of San Antonio Southern University after tragedy struck today - at the commencement ceremonies.
- [Gunfire, sirens wailing.]
Police officers are keeping us several blocks away following a mass shooting that has left dozens dead and scores injured.
We have obtained footage of the graduation event.
And I must warn you, this video contains graphic content.
- before YouTube was even created.
- [Applause.]
- [Gunshot.]
- [Screaming.]
Oh, my goodness! Reporter: Protestors took matters into their own hands when they did not approve of the commencement speaker.
SWAT team is on the scene now.
The shooters are still at large.
- [Indistinct radio chatter.]
- [Distant screaming.]
Man: Let's go.
Keep moving, keep moving.
All right, stay alert.
[Screaming continues.]
- Where are you going? - Hunting.
We got reports of multiple shooters still active.
And they're placing IEDs, so don't touch anything, okay? - Just be careful.
- You be careful.
Okay, Reagan, you're with Drew and I on search party.
- Jordan - We'll run triage.
Let's go.
- Where do you want me, Sir? - It's gonna be a busy night, Boon.
I need you on triage.
Let's go.
Hey, no hero stuff, all right? These bullets are real.
[Gunfire, screaming.]
Spread out.
We don't want one round catching the both of us.
Relax.
You have 5 meters.
Yeah, well, we're out in the open, so push out to 10, or were you sleeping that day in Ranger school? Definitely not a lot of sleeping in Ranger school, Sir.
But I guess you already knew that, Sir.
Or maybe you don't, Sir.
Putting a "Sir" on the end doesn't hide the disrespect, Lieutenant.
I may not be a Ranger, but I've had men die in my arms in combat, so drop the attitude.
- He's gone.
- [Rapid gunfire, screaming.]
Get down, get down.
[Screaming, gunfire continues.]
[Gunfire continues.]
[Screaming, crying, shouting indistinctly.]
- Come on.
Let's go.
- Man: Come on.
This way! [Groaning.]
I'm Dr.
Callahan.
This is Dr.
Alister and Reagan.
- What's your name, Sir? - [Coughing.]
Wyatt.
[Sobs.]
Okay.
All right, we gotta stop this bleeding.
He can't breathe.
I'm on it.
We're sitting ducks in here.
We gotta do it back at triage.
- [Gunfire.]
- Hold that.
- I got it.
- All right.
- All right, I got it, I got it.
- Good.
My leg! I've been shot.
[Groans.]
Okay, there's no going back from where we came.
- [Gunfire continues.]
- The shooters are everywhere.
Too many shooters.
Let's get inside.
- Here we go.
One, two, three.
- [Groans.]
[Indistinct radio chatter, indistinct shouting.]
You're all right.
No problem.
[Distant shouting.]
Jordan, we got another GSW.
All right, let's set her down.
All right, guys.
Thank you.
Hi.
My name's Dr.
Alexander.
I'm gonna take care of you.
Hey, Boon, get in here.
We got a GSW to the left foot.
- Gotta stop the bleeding.
- It's funny, 'cause I've done this a hundred times in training, it's just Just never with bullets flying around.
Imagine you're back in training, execute what you know, all right? - You got this.
Here.
- Thanks, Doctor.
Hey.
You have a really nice touch with people.
I lead an organization composed almost entirely of men where I'm from.
They sense even a hint of weakness, my team suffers, and so do my patients.
Yeah, well, I deal with that here, too.
Hi.
Hey, Docs.
Got a call from a wounded EM hiding on the west side of campus.
I got a full bus of patients I gotta get back to SAM.
- Can you help look for him? - Yeah, you got it.
This guy needs a yellow tag.
Boon, you're in charge.
Uh, okay.
Don't worry.
You're safe here.
[Indistinct radio chatter.]
The medicine slowed down your heart rate, and then your heart converted back to its normal rhythm.
You know what's causing this? Well, your echo shows some abnormal enlargement in your heart, so I'd like to get a cardiac MRI for a more precise evaluation.
Thanks, Scott.
Uh, you got a sec? Yeah.
[Monitor beeping steadily.]
Hey, so, I heard you got into it with my dad.
- What's that about? - [Sighs.]
What's it always about? Control.
Don't worry.
It'll work out one way or another.
- But you're staying, right? - We'll talk later.
[Monitor beeping steadily.]
Uh, okay, so we've gotta run some more tests.
Really? I I was hoping I'd be out of here by now.
I promised my friend I'd help him work on a car tonight.
Some guy's bringing in a '63 Stingray.
Well, I'm afraid that we have to - The split window coupe? - That's the one.
You have a passion for cars, Hannah.
Why are you in school? My parents would rather pay for books than tools.
- So buy them yourself.
- Uh, Shannon? I don't wanna disappoint them.
I love them too much.
Sometimes disappointing the people you love is a part of life.
It sucks, but it's your life.
You have to do what's right for you.
Shannon.
Wow, uh, did I say something wrong? No, no, no.
Not at all.
Sorry about that.
She can be a little intense.
Anyways, let's check this out and then get those tests running.
Okay.
And get you out of here as quick as possible, okay? - [Door thuds.]
- We're clear.
[Groans.]
- Watch his head.
- Aah! Careful.
All right.
GSW left leg.
Reagan, take a look.
- [Groaning continues.]
- Just soft tissue, Sir.
T.
C.
: Okay, slap an Israeli bandage on it.
We gotta stop this bleeding.
Yeah, he's burst a blood vessel.
We gotta cauterize it.
With what? [Indistinct radio chatter.]
Uh, Wyatt, you know anyone who graduated today? Yeah, I know a lot of them.
I'm a teacher.
This is a tragedy.
You know, I didn't care for the commencement speaker either, but what they've done betrays whatever point they're trying to make.
Yeah, sometimes when you run out of things to say, your anger speaks the loudest.
What do you teach? [Groans.]
History.
Why? Remember those Civil War stories about amputees biting down on bullets during surgery to deal with the pain? Yes.
Start bitin'.
Wait.
Wait, wait, wait - [Sizzling.]
- Aah! [Scream echoes.]
There's no SWAT.
We have a medic out there.
We gotta move.
Okay.
Cover stops bullets.
Concealment doesn't.
We need cover.
Okay.
Hi.
I'm Dr.
Alexander.
This is Dr.
Anawi.
Can you tell me your name? Nick.
I've been shot in the abdomen.
Okay, let me see.
He's not walking out of here.
[Distant gunfire.]
Maybe we aren't either.
[Whispers.]
Hey.
Come here.
[Indistinct radio chatter.]
- What's the problem? - This man has multiple GSWs.
We have to get him out of here or he'll bleed out.
Ah! [Shell casing clatters.]
Anything else? I'm putting wings on pigs today.
- [Gunshot.]
- Aah! Saw she was flagging you.
You guys okay? - Much better now.
Thank you.
- You went out without an escort.
- You can't do that.
- [Indistinct radio chatter.]
- Come on.
- [Groaning.]
She's still alive.
Not for long.
And I say let nature take its course.
We don't do that here.
Aah! Ah! The numbers are backwards.
They've infiltrated law enforcement.
We don't know who the good guys are at the moment.
You guys see any other cops? None, no.
Okay, pass it on.
Tell the other cops to roll up their left sleeve.
Word of mouth only.
No radio.
Go! - Yes, Sir.
- We can still save her.
- [Groaning.]
- [Rapid gunfire in distance.]
Let's take her to triage.
- Aah! - Come on.
[Gasps.]
Wait, really? This is mine.
Of course.
Kenny, with all this craziness, I haven't had a chance to officially welcome you into my family.
- Thanks, Dr.
Cummings.
- Ah, call me Julian.
Okay.
Julian, I appreciate that.
You remind me of myself at a younger age.
Pulled up by the bootstraps, not dependent on anyone else.
I was too soft on my kids.
Spoiled them rotten.
They were lucky to have you.
[Scoffs.]
Well, do me a favor and let them know.
[Laughs.]
I will.
Keep up the good work.
- I see a lot of potential in you.
- [Elevator bell dings.]
Maybe one day you walk through these doors in a suit instead of scrubs.
You're a Cummings by proxy now.
- Oh, hey, son.
- Dad.
Kenny.
Hey, you realize that that's just more than just a watch, right? How do you mean? It's best to be a part of the family, but stay away from the family business, and gifts like that just end up getting you sucked in even more.
Well, maybe I wanna get sucked in.
That man has been nothing full of love and supportive since I proposed to your sister.
He said I have potential.
Now I know that may be lip service to you, but it means something to me.
So if you'll excuse me, I only have five minutes left on my break.
Think you're saving me, bitch? Save yourselves.
You're all just pawns of the imperialist state! - Lovely manner on this one.
- Yeah, she's a real sweetheart.
- Boon.
- [Breathing heavily.]
You have an entry wound on the lower flank.
Exit wound, anterior abdomen.
This university ignored our protest.
So we stopped asking for justice and decided to take it.
We vote where the power is, and our power's in the streets.
Honey, that's a top-of-the-line nose job.
You don't look very street to me.
- [Groans.]
- Chest is clear.
Weak pulse, probably hypotensive.
Let's start some IV fluids.
Here's some NS.
There's nothing more we can do here.
Her abdomen's rigid.
Boon, get an ETA on the ambulance.
What about Reagan and the sirs? We can't just leave them here.
This is not a discussion.
- Never leave a man behind.
- Boon! I'll find 'em.
Boon! [Indistinct radio chatter, siren wailing.]
All right, you are one tough customer.
[Groans.]
Tell that to my wife.
Obstinance and academia are not synonymous in her eyes.
- How long you been married? - A year.
We recently embarked on building our legacy.
[Groans.]
What did you do? Bury some treasure? No, we started trying to have children.
There is no greater service one can provide the human race than to proliferate its existence.
Tell me about it.
I became a father last year.
- Best 12 months of my life.
- [Groans.]
- What's wrong, Wyatt? - [Groans.]
I'm embarrassed to say this, but my, uh, my testicles are killing me.
Doctor? All right, stand up.
Drop your pants.
- [Groans.]
- [Unzips.]
[Groans.]
I hate to say this, Wyatt, but you have a bilateral testicular torsion.
I certainly hope that sounds better in English.
Your balls were stomped and twisted in the stampede, Wyatt.
They're not getting enough blood.
- Nope, not any better.
- Reagan.
All right, so the longer it takes to restore blood, the lowered chance you have at fertility.
- We gotta get him to an E.
R.
now.
- [Knocking.]
[Knocking continues.]
- Pull your pants up.
- [Knocking continues.]
Man: Police.
Open up! It's the police.
Open up! - We're here to get you out.
- By yourself? We're spread pretty thin, ma'am.
And many others need help.
Will you open up, please? Slide your badge under the door.
The numbers are backwards.
- [Gunshots.]
- [Gasps.]
I'll check the other door.
Are you good? Yeah.
Go.
There's nowhere to run.
Just open up and let us put you out of your misery.
- We'll make it quick.
- [Pounding.]
Bullet to the head and it's all over.
You won't feel a thing.
[Grunting.]
- [Loud thud.]
- Drew: Reagan! [Grunting.]
[Groans.]
[Gunshot.]
[Grunts.]
[Gunshots.]
Boon! I almost shot you.
Call it out when you're coming into a room.
Sorry.
Ambulances.
They're waiting by the triage site.
Dr.
Alexander said we need to move now.
Good job, Boon.
I think two of the shots hit him.
- Yeah.
- Protect the patient, right? Fast learner.
Let's go.
[Siren wails in distance.]
[Indistinct conversation.]
Hey, Paul.
Hannah's up for MRI.
Yeah, coming.
I already bit off more than I can chew.
You took another bite.
How can you be so confident? Because I trust the people that work in this hospital, Julian.
And so should you.
Male, 40s, GSW left leg.
He's also got bilateral testicular torsion.
- We need Bella now.
- Yeah, I'll call her back in.
25-year-old female, GSW to the left flank.
- Taking her to Trauma One.
- Stabilize and I'll be right in.
Hey, I got a dozen more coming in after, - but I need you here with me.
- Let's go.
[Sirens wailing.]
[Indistinct conversations.]
[Screaming.]
Hurts, doesn't it? My pain is nothing like the pain the minorities and poor of this country feel every day.
Who elected you as their prophet? The leaders of a police state that calls itself free! [Grunts.]
I won't stand idly by while others are beaten and murdered! Boon, will you get her something for the pain to shut her up? Yes, ma'am.
This woman's tried to kill us and spews nothing but filth yet you still must care for her comfort.
Yeah, well, welcome to my world.
10 of morphine.
Going in.
[Breathing heavily.]
She's got fluid in Morrison's pouch.
Let's get her to C.
T.
[Retches.]
Her pressure stopped again.
Two units of O-neg.
What have we got? Belly full of blood.
Multifocal exsanguination.
Let's get her up to the O.
R.
I'll open her up.
[Indistinct radio chatter.]
You think we should've stuck it out longer - in combat training? - No way.
Those other people might've signed up for military, but I most certainly did not.
We tapped out awful early.
I don't like being seen as a quitter.
You care way too much about what other people think of you, Paul.
You mean like when you read your evaluation from Jordan? Being unable to do something and not wanting to are two different things.
I was able, not willing.
I don't know.
Maybe there's something to this whole combat training thing.
You know, getting outside my comfort zone, pushing myself in new ways, it could open up some doors.
You've had ever door open to you since you were born.
What other doors do you need to go through? That's not how I meant it.
A lot of people have rich parents and they screw it up.
You did something with your opportunity.
I'm just saying all this military stuff, that's not what I signed up for.
Meaning? Meaning between that and my dust-up with Jordan, it's got me thinking.
Maybe I don't belong here anymore.
Hey, you're kidding, right? You're you're not leaving.
I don't know.
But if I stay, the only thing keeping me here is you.
Drew: I bet when he woke up this morning, he didn't think he'd end up here.
Yeah, well, that makes two of us.
Is that a drive on tab? My husband kept it in his patrol cab during Ranger school for good luck.
Took him straight through.
It was supposed to do the same thing for me.
Supposed to? What's your story? Why didn't you ever go? Mm, medical school, residency life.
I was supposed to go next week, but my replacement fell through.
So I got stuck here training your sorry ass.
That sucks.
Hmm.
May I? You know what I gave up for this? Buck 50 at the PX? No, that's what I paid.
I'm talking about what it cost.
I missed the birth of my niece.
I promised my sister that I would be there for her after her husband ran out and I wasn't.
I also lost the love of my life because I made every spare minute about training.
And it made my goals more important than him.
[Voice breaks.]
And after all that, I don't even have my identity.
I'm not Reagan and I'm I'm not a Ranger.
I'm a "chick" Ranger.
One of the first.
And because of that, I will always have an asterisk by my name.
So just make sure that whatever you're getting is worth more than what you're giving up.
Okay.
So, Hannah, you have what's called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
I'm guessing that's not good.
Well, most people with it have a normal life expectancy, but it can be associated with a sudden cardiac death - in young patients.
- Death? That's rare.
You didn't pass out from the fall.
You passed out because your heart couldn't handle how fast it was beating.
So I I'm a ticking time bomb? Well, we're putting you on medication to regulate your heart rate.
It's not a cure, but it should help.
This training was a blessing.
Otherwise, we never would have caught it.
You're lucky to be alive, Hannah.
Yeah, but like you said, what am I even doing with this life? I shouldn't have said that.
I was actually talking about myself.
I have issues.
But you were right.
All this time just trying to please my family.
Torturing myself in a classroom when the only place I ever wanna be is in the shop.
So you're leaving school? Hell, yeah.
I'm done living for everybody else when I may not even live.
You were right.
You gotta live for yourself.
So what happens to Bernadine, our left-wing lunatic now? Well, when Scott's done with her and she's stable, we're gonna let the boys in blue take it from there.
In Syria, there'd be a hole in the desert with her name on it.
Seriously, woman, you have got to chill with the doom and gloom.
Sorry.
I'm peevish these days.
My treatment's not going well.
Treatment? I have MS.
T.
C.
didn't tell you? Uh, no.
He didn't.
Uh, do you mind me asking what kind of medications you're taking? Excuse me, can we talk? Is it a patient? Can it wait a second? No and no.
It's okay.
We'll catch up later.
Sure.
What's up? I wanted you to hear this from me, unlike how I was blindsided by you.
I've applied for other residencies, so now you know.
Uh, whoa.
Shannon, wait, wait, wait.
Stop, slow down.
Hey.
Is this about your evaluation? No.
This is about this place becoming a war zone.
Doctors rappelling from helicopters, running into burning buildings.
A few hours ago, I was in friggin' body armor.
That's not why I became a doctor.
Shannon, look, SAM became what it needed to to survive, and you can, too.
This is a perfect opportunity for you to hone your strengths, improve your weaknesses.
It'd be good for you.
I wanna thrive at something I love, not survive something I don't.
That's why I'm considering returning to my clinic on the res, see if it's a better fit.
- Can we least talk about this? - We just did.
[Door opens.]
[Door closes.]
Hey, Paul.
You wanted to talk to me about something? Yeah, I was hoping to get some career advice.
Okay.
Shoot.
I was thinking about exploring some medical opportunities overseas.
Africa, Middle East.
And, uh, I was hoping you maybe could help with that.
- Africa? - Yeah.
Paul, you haven't even been downtown.
Not true.
I was I was there last year during the riot.
You know it got pretty hairy.
I handled myself.
- I'm up to the challenge.
- [Refrigerator door closes.]
[Exhales.]
Are you sure this isn't about proving something to your dad? No.
It's not.
All right, look, it's about challenging myself and growing up.
T.
C.
, I am surrounded by men and women who serve, and I wanna do something.
Plus, how am I supposed to teach these soldiers when I've never done anything close to what they've done? Well, you're teaching them medicine.
You know how it is over there, okay? - It's not the same medicine.
- Okay, okay.
I got a buddy who works in inner-city Dallas.
Go work with him, six months, a year.
Start off in the shallow end, see how it feels I'm a good doctor, T.
C.
, okay?! And I can be as great or as brave as anyone else here.
I just need my opportunity.
I just need someone to open the door for me.
Okay.
[Container clatters.]
You sure? I'm sure.
Okay.
Fine.
I can do something.
Yeah.
[Pats shoulder.]
So I may never have children? I heard you say once there was nothing more important than creating future generations.
It's not just through birth children, Wyatt.
My husband and I, we adopted our daughter.
And you better believe she's carrying on the best and the worst of us.
And your legacy gets passed on through your students.
I mean, you've passed on all your knowledge to hundreds of people who are using it to improve their lives.
You don't just have one kid, Wyatt.
- You have a thousand of 'em.
- Get some rest.
We want you on your feet and back in the classroom ASAP so you can have a thousand more.
- Thank you.
Thank you, doctors.
- Yeah.
[Groans.]
Thanks for a hell of a first day, Sir.
Oh, don't thank me yet, Lieutenant.
You're cleaning the blood out of all the ambulances.
Really? That'd be, "Really, Sir.
" And I want them gleaming.
[Mutters.]
So does T.
C.
know the treatment's not working? Not the extent, and there's nothing he can do.
God knows he'd try.
He can be very endearing and annoying at the same time.
Yeah.
Yes, he can.
You know, Amira, I'm really glad you're here.
It's been, um unexpected.
[Chuckles.]
Likewise.
We should enjoy each other's company while we still have it.
What do you mean? Oh, we're back in Syria in two weeks.
"We.
" T.
C.
and I.
Had he not told you? I'm sure he thought he did in his own obtuse way, but no, he didn't.
He told me that he would stay and help me get this program off the ground.
Well, he's not being on the up and up with one of us.
Yeah, well, I'm sure he just didn't wanna disappoint me.
Yeah, maybe it's me he didn't wanna disappoint.
It's clear I'm falling to pieces Dr.
Callahan, will you sign something? Somebody else's Do you still love him? I'm not good at small talk.
My work and life lends itself to one saying what they mean.
I will always love T.
C.
, but I'm not in love with him.
You really think there's a difference? Not good at letting go You bloody Americans.
[Chuckles.]
[Sighs.]
Not good at letting go I'm not good at letting go - [Siren wailing in distance.]
- To a job well done, Clemmens.
You, too, Dr.
Cummings.
More to come the next two days, Colonel.
I don't need it.
I've seen enough.
My people belong to yours for the balance of my 90 days.
You won the contract.
That's an incredible show of faith, Colonel.
We worked very hard to gain your trust.
We won't let you down.
Better not.
Gonna be a lot of Army eyeballs on this now.
Oh, why just Army? Why not Navy, Air Force, Marines, SWAT teams, NATO? Our international allies.
Hell, we can grow this program across the services and around the world.
And that was your plan all along.
Right, Dr.
Cummings? Right, Dr.
Clemmens.
Ha, listen to that shine.
You make a damn fine officer, Clemmens.
Ah, thank you, Colonel, but I work for a living.
- [Laughs.]
- Come on.
We'll walk you out.
Man, sorry about earlier.
I had a lot on my mind tonight, and I was way out of line.
It's all good, man.
Um, I know you and your dad have been through a lot.
You just gotta understand where I'm coming from.
You know, give me the space to be me.
I don't want any awkward holiday dinners in our future.
That will not be a problem going forward.
'Cause six months from now, we're gonna be family.
In my eyes, we already are, man.
- Mine, too.
- Hey, fiancé.
- What's up, fiancée? - Really? - [Laughs.]
- How you doing, huh? - I'm good.
How are you? - [Chuckles.]
All right, y'all.
Y'all better be ready for a party tonight! [Cheering.]
L.
T.
D.
: Every time I move, I lose When I look I'm in And every time I turn around, I'm back in love I get mixed emotions [Laughter.]
It's the way my feelings flow Whoo! Excuse me, I'm only human Sometimes I, I just don't know [Cheering.]
[Exhales deeply.]
Hell of a time to update your diary.
Yeah.
No, Kenny asked me to give a toast.
And I have gone over my remarks for the umpteenth time, and right now I am hoping I am a better orator than I am a mentor.
I'm sure you will be.
I mean [Groans.]
I'm really sorry about earlier.
I've been unhappy for a while now, and I didn't know how to handle it.
Neither did I.
I have a compromise to offer you.
You go back to the clinic for six weeks, no longer, and when you're done, you come back to SAM, and we'll go from there.
Wow, thank you.
Uh, I don't know many E.
R.
chiefs who would do that.
None would.
Shannon, I'm not doing this as your boss.
I'm doing it as your friend.
[Laughter, indistinct conversations in distance.]
This is quite a family you have here.
And they all worship you.
Why would you ever want to leave this? Oh, believe me, they get tired of me pretty fast.
I can wear on people.
Yeah.
You and I both have that in common.
[Chuckles.]
So did you tell your dad yet? Uh [Sighs.]
Waiting for the right moment.
Well, maybe you should reconsider, come with me instead.
There's nothing I'd like more.
But the die has been cast, you know? They never miss what they never had Then I can get home and see your face I'm giving you your tab back.
Drew, you need this.
Everything I need is at home or in this room.
And I'm not gonna risk losing any of it.
I can't accept this.
For too long, I've been the selfish one.
Urging you not to go, preventing you from achieving something that I already had.
I was wrong.
Rick, it's not you.
It's work.
It's Cain quitting.
I can't give up Chief Resident.
I can't let my work family down.
I can't let my real family down, you, Brie Your mother, because I don't think she's ever leaving.
We're not getting the office back anytime soon.
[Laughs.]
Look, you may never be a Ranger, but that's not gonna be because I prevented you.
You miss this class, but there's always gonna be another opportunity.
So go and get your own tab.
Then you can give me mine back.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Ray.
Are you double dipping those? - Just the tip.
- Oh, you filthy animal.
May I make you a drink? [Sighs.]
Yes, please.
And make it a double so I can get through this speech.
[Cork pops, alcohol pouring.]
I hear you're leaving.
I agreed to stay until you won the contract Seems to be wrapping up quicker than expected.
[Ice rattles.]
So back to Syria, then.
- [Ice rattles.]
- Well, I made a commitment.
[Bottle thuds.]
People over there need help.
I have people in San Antonio that need help, too.
- No.
- [Ice clinks.]
San Antonio is in good hands.
Doesn't need me anymore.
[Glasses clink.]
[Glass thuds.]
San Antonio still needs you.
But I understand.
Syria needs you, too.
I get it.
Yeah.
Syria is something else.
It's not like I'm leaving San Antonio for good.
You might be this time.
[Glasses clinking.]
Well, that's my cue.
[Ice rattling.]
San Antonio will miss you.
You know who I am Good evening, everyone.
On behalf of Kenny, Bella, and the Cummings family, I would like to welcome you to the party.
When two people find each other, they embark upon a journey.
And on that journey, two become one a single force stronger than its previous parts.
And no amount of time, space, or matter can sever that bond.
It's unbreakable.
Wild, wild horses Things you once thought the others' business becomes yours.
When they laugh, you laugh.
When they cry, you cry.
I watched you suffer And when they hurt, well, you better believe you're hurting, too.
The journey is a shared experience of love and mercy, triumph and tragedy, hope and pain.
Now there will be ups and downs.
You know, as they say, man plans, God laughs, but if you can push through the struggle, fight through the pain, you can make it through anything.
Let this night be a reminder that whatever the future brings, every fear, every moment of happiness or sorrow, you'll be stronger in the face of it.
Because whether you're in each other's arms Or halfway around the world Wild horses you'll be facing it together.
So, everyone, I think that deserves a toast to Kenny and Bella.
- Man: Hear, hear.
- Cheers.
Cheers! [Glasses clinking.]
Couldn't drag me away This week, we'll be focusing on improvised field surgery when you don't have the equipment you need to save your patient.
Everybody, drop your gear right over here.
We're gonna get on these vans and head out to the wilderness.
Let's go.
Couldn't drag me away Where's Drew? He's never late.
Ranger school.
A slot opened up.
But doesn't that leave us shorthanded? No.
Found a replacement.
Let's go, let's go! Get in the vans.
This isn't a class picnic.
What are you doing here? Well, I took Drew's spot.
Paul took my place in Syria.
I wasn't ready to say goodbye to San Antonio.
[Car door closes.]
You ready? I'm ready.
Wild horses Couldn't drag me away Wild, wild horses We'll ride them someday
