What am I supposed to do for two weeks? Well, you do work at Urgent Medicine, Inc.
- Theirs is a bold vision.
- Thank you.
Look, I know that the clinic may not be glamorous, but we get to help people, so just grow up and - Oh, God.
- Jeez.
Um That was close.
What was that? Well, if I'm ever gonna get back together with Leyla, I have to make it crystal clear that I am not pursuing her.
I can't have fake accidentally bumping into her, can I? No, 'cause that would make you look crazy.
Which way is the stupid clinic anyway? This way.
We have to take the service elevator, and we're not allowed to talk to anyone.
Help.
Help.
Can somebody help me? - Let's get him into a chair.
- Sir, what's your name? Uh, Max Max Bloomstein.
Um, why don't you have a seat? Okay, how were you injured, Mr.
Bloomstein? - I slipped in the shower.
- Aah! Ah! Let's get him into a procedure room.
Tachy's at 110.
Let's hang a bag of normal saline, wide open.
- How's the wound look? - Pretty extensive.
And there's a superficial retained object.
- What is that? - I don't know, an antenna? Uh, all right, uh, let's, uh Tachy's up to 130.
Let's hang a second bag of normal saline, wide open.
- I got it.
- Max he's lost a lot of blood.
Yeah, he needs a unit of packed red cells.
We don't have anything like that.
- No, but New Amsterdam does.
- I'll ask Wilder.
Excuse me.
Hey, uh, Ben, Elizabeth's not responding to any of my texts, and I really need a bag of O negative.
- Uh, I'll have some sent up.
- Great, thanks.
- You okay? - It's, uh Five years of working together, Elizabeth's never been late, not once.
Oh, well, she went pretty hard at karaoke last night, so I'm sure she's just sleeping it off.
- Let me know.
- Mm-hmm.
- Just one patient left? - Just got to wrap a cast.
Great, that shouldn't take long.
So, um how do you feel about duets? Specifically "Reunited" or "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now"? I'm not going to karaoke night.
- But everyone's going.
- Exactly.
Look, there's gonna be so many people there, you probably won't even see Dr.
Bloom.
An old army buddy's leaving town, and we're grabbing a drink, preferably where people aren't singing.
Well, how about a drive-by? Well, that's what it's called, right? When you just stop by Please, just for me.
- Fine, fine.
- A drive-by.
- Ah.
- La, la, la, la ♪ - No singing.

Maybe even humanize you.
Hi.
Uh, I would like to purchase the taco hat.
No, but you can win it if you finish a fry bucket.
- Why is it a taco hat? - It just is.

I just I love to see everyone together.
No, look, I-I've been trying to put together a karaoke night for years Nothing.
Elizabeth mentions it once, half the hospital shows up.
It's messed up.
Why why you looking at me like that? You're definitely tan dominant, but there's encroachment of red and blue in your aura.
What? Your aura is troubled.
I mean, I don't know about troubled, but What if I could make you feel better in five minutes? These are Vaccaria seeds.
You place them on pressure points along the earlobes for ultimate clarity.
All you have to do is squeeze them.
- Oh, my goodness.
- You try it.
- This is insane.
- Right? Yeah.
Wow.
You ever do this on yourself? Sometimes, but for clarity, my go-to is meditation.
It has to be on the water.
Have you been to the pier in Long Island City? The new one? No.
I love it so much.
- Sorry.
Hold on a sec.
- Yeah.
You all right? Uh, yeah, I'm fine.

Spontaneity.
Yeah.
Spontaneity feels like a thing of the past.

I can barely remember my own address at this point.
I'm gonna call for, like, my liver.
- For the livers, everybody.
- Bye, guys.
- Good night, everybody.
- See ya.
What an awesome night.
Gladys cannot sing, but she puts on quite the show.
And you are awfully quiet.
Well, it could be the singing or the drinking or the fact that I just really want to get you home.
Oh, fair enough.
Well, here I am.
- Wow.
- Whoo! My goodness.
- I had no idea.
- Yes.
Is Luna home with the sitter? 'Cause I really want to wake her up with some kisses.
Yeah.
No, she's with Gwen and Calvin this weekend.
- Oh.
- I really miss my little girl.
She misses you.
Well, maybe we can drive up and see her? - Yeah.
- Yeah, we should.
- What? - Sure you're okay? - I'm good.
- Yeah? Why do you keep asking me? Mm.
Mm-hmm.
Mm, mm, mm.
Wow.
- You all right? - Mm.
It's just been a really long night.
Well, booze and jet lag and That fourth shot really didn't help.
- I should get you to bed.
- Bed.
- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Sleep.
- Mm-hmm.
- No.
No? 'Cause I've waited for tonight for a long time, and I'm not giving up now.
So I'm gonna go in there and get ready.
And you're gonna come join me in there.
Be right there.
Just be a minute.
Okay.
Do you want to Do you want to Do you want to get married? I think we should get married.
Do you want to get married, because I obviously I do, 'cause I got the ring and everything, and I was just wondering if you did, 'cause if you did, I would.
Pop it out.
Don't catch it.
That's stupid.
Just open the frickin' thing.
There you go.
But don't What is that? Slow is nice.
Can't even open the thing idiot.
Just ask her.
Simple.
I Will you marry me? Surgery went well.
You know, you can tell me your real name if you want.
Secret's safe with me.
Uh, so how long was your sentence at Rikers? 90 days For writing one bad check.
But COVID slowed my trial down, and I couldn't make bail.
I was in Rikers for six months.
Wow.
And I kept thinking someone would try to come and get me.
This can't be right.
Then you get out, and you start thinking any second someone's gonna come and take you back.
I keep hearing voices in my head saying, "You're trapped.
You're trapped.
" And when the voices get loud I have to climb.
It's the only thing that makes the voice stop.
Here, I want you to do me a favor.
Take a picture.
Don't think about it too much.
Just pick anything in the room and snap an absolutely incredible photo.
Just do it Simple assignment.
Like this? You tell me.
Is that the best photo you can take of that window? Is the lighting good? Is the framing good? I mean, it's dark in here.
All right, well, I think we can handle that.
Let there be light.
All right, then you go ahead and you mess with all the setting on there, okay? Go on.
Do your thing.
The thing about climbing the only thing you can think about is where your hand goes next, where your foot goes next.
That's it.
If you don't, you fall.
It doesn't allow you to think about the past or anything else, really.
Yeah.
Don't look at me.
Focus, you know.
Literally, look.
Your background's getting all wacky.
The light's too high.
All right, well, fiddle with the lighting settings in there.
That's on you, man.
Like this? It's your picture.
Not too bad.
Actually, that's really nice.
Thanks.
Yeah.
So, tell me, at what point during that process did the voices stop bothering you? How how did that happen? Well, trauma locks you in the past.
Climbing keeps you in the present.
That that's not the only thing that can do that, though.
That camera, it doesn't see the past or the future or anything.
It just it just sees what's right in front of it, right here, right now.
What do you see? Maybe you even see a way out? Not literally.
That window is locked.
So, you know Gustavo Moro.
It's a pleasure to meet you, Gustavo Moro.
Well, just call me when you know.
Why are you in a plant? I dropped something.
Was it your taco hat? - Yes.
- Found it.
Okay.
Good.
I'm trying to give you space.
I really want to give you that even if it means hiding in a plant, so Thank you.
You okay? There's a problem with my visa.
What kind of problem? I think I'm being deported.
- Hey.
- Hey.
So nice seeing you around here again.
- Floyd, I need to - It's all good.
Claude already told me about Colorado.
He did? Yes, and You know, I'm happy for you, for both of you.
You know, you deserve a fresh start together and Stop, stop.
What? The baby is yours.
- You okay? - No, I'm not.
I'm getting hit from, like, a thousand different directions.
What's going on? Well, for one thing, Casey never showed up today.
He's not answering his phone.
Well, they were both drinking.
- Who's they? - Wilder.
She never showed up either.
Hey, have you heard from Elizabeth? - Uh, or Casey? - Uh, no, why? Neither of them came in.
That's weird.
Mia didn't either.
Hey, I got your page.
What's going on? Half our karaoke party is missing.
- No Casey, Elizabeth, Mia.
- No Trevor.
All right, well, this can't be a coincidence.
Did did anyone speak to any of them today? No, and I've left Trevor a ton of messages.
Okay, we were all in the bar last night.
Why is it just those four missing? It's not just four.
