Chicago Med (2015) s06e06 Episode Script

1 Whatever this is, I don't want it to end.
Sorry, I didn't know.
Natalie, this is Claire, my ex-wife.
How long before Auggie gets a liver? He's low on the list.
You're pregnant.
How could this happen? You cannot tell my parents.
Dr.
Sexton! What were you thinking? He had the right to die on his own terms.
He could lose his residency.
Noah should've thought about that before he acted.
You're fired for negligence.
May I have a coffee to go, please? - Of course.
- Un doppio espresso per favore.
Double coming up.
I'm embracing my Italian heritage.
- Oh, right.
- [CHUCKLES.]
Look at him.
Still can't believe he fired Noah.
You don't know the whole story.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
Hey.
What are you doing? Did you even make it home last night? I'm sorry, what? I'm kinda busy.
You're your own worst enemy, Ethan.
- Morning.
- Morning.
Listen, um, about last night.
You know, I shouldn't have shown up unannounced like that.
It's fine.
And I completely understand if you and your ex are No, it's nothing like that.
Well, 'cause, I mean, there's a lot of history there, so.
Natalie, my ex and I are not getting back together again if that's what you mean.
She just dropped something off.
Oh, I just thought maybe Dr.
Manning, Dr.
Marcel, we got an incoming trauma.
- Ambo just unloaded.
- All right.
I've got it.
Baghdad.
What do we got? Cindy Morales, 32, contractor.
She fell off the scaffolding at a construction site and landed on rebar.
It didn't go all the way through.
We stabilized it at the scene.
Patient's mildly tachy, but BP is stable.
Okay.
Hey, Cindy? Stay nice and calm for me, okay? All right, here we go, guys.
Nice and gentle now.
One, two, three.
[CINDY GROANS.]
Cindy, I'm Dr.
Manning, this is Dr.
Marcel.
- Can you hear me? - Yes.
Can you tell me what happened? Got dizzy.
Fell.
A and B intact.
Do you remember when you got dizzy? Today.
It's what I get for skipping breakfast.
BP 118/74.
Heart rate 120.
Okay.
- [GROANS.]
- Sorry.
Call for blood type and cross for 6 and 6.
We're gonna give you something for the pain, okay? 100 of fentanyl.
All right, let's get her up to CT.
Let's see what we're dealing with before we take her into surgery.
Don't worry, Cindy, we're gonna take good care of you, okay? I'm sorry to bother you with this, but I couldn't get ahold of Anna's mother.
No, I am I'm actually really glad you called.
You know, she's pretty much of a straight-A student.
I guess just this online learning, you know, it's just been a challenge.
It's hard to get students to focus, especially when they miss several Zoom classes.
She's not going to class? She hasn't been handing in all her assignments either.
Really? You know what, I had no idea.
Um, you know, she does her homework over at a friend's house.
She's part of, like like, a study pod.
She's there right now, or at least I hope she is.
You may wanna start checking her work.
You know what, sounds like I'm gonna have to.
Look, this has been a difficult year for everyone.
I just thought I should bring it to your attention.
Yeah, and you know what? I appreciate it.
I will, uh I will definitely talk to her after school, and, you know, thank you again for the call.
You're welcome.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
Hey, can I get a quick word? Um, sure.
Those just, uh, fell out of Anna's coat pocket.
Dan, I am so sorry you had to find out this way.
HIPAA, I get, okay? But, I mean, couldn't you have found a way to just give me, like, a little heads up? I tried to get Anna to talk to you.
I feel like an idiot.
I had no idea she was even sexually active.
Like, not a clue.
Look, all that I can tell you is that she's scared and confused.
- [PHONE DINGS.]
- Oh, shoot.
I'm sorry, I gotta run.
Um, are you okay? - Yeah, yeah.
- Okay.
Over 200 people from the American Hospital Association have RSVP'd for your presentation.
A lot of little Zoom boxes.
Okay, what's the breakdown? Mainly physicians? Yes, but also pharmacists, some hospital administrators.
Glad I included the slide on cost savings.
If this goes well today, hospitals all over the country will want to join this trial.
That will increase our visibility to get this drug to market that much faster.
Sabeena, this presentation is gonna go great.
I promise.
Hey, Will.
East Mercy's jammed.
They're diverting patients to us.
I'm gonna need you.
Sure, but at 3:00, you know I got my presentation.
Ah, sorry.
You're gonna have to push that.
Ethan, come on, you cleared this yesterday.
I know.
But I just can't spare you.
[SIGHS.]
Don't worry.
I'm doing it.
Hey, April.
With me, please.
- Lucky you.
- Oh, stop.
Mr.
and Mrs.
Bowman.
I'm Dr.
Choi, this is Nurse Sexton.
Hi.
I understand you passed out this morning? Carol overreacted.
I'm fine.
Didn't need to call a damn ambulance.
How long was your husband unconscious? I don't know.
Um, maybe a minute? He's never passed out before.
I-I got worried, and so I called 911.
Any chest pain? Shortness of breath? There's nothing wrong with my heart.
It's my head.
It's killing me.
Did he hit it when he passed out? No.
BP 147/90.
It's slightly elevated.
He's been in pain for almost a year.
- A year? - Oh, here we go.
I thought it was my teeth, okay, and I went to the dentist.
Had a root canal, got a tooth pulled.
Nothing helped.
It just kept getting worse.
Did you see a doctor about it? - Of course I did.
- Okay, follow my finger.
Um, our family doctor thought that it might be migraines.
Another doctor thought that it could be anxiety.
Stupid quack.
No! Mm-mm-mm.
I understand you're in pain, but I do need to finish my exam.
No, no! No, it hurts too much.
Okay, uh, let's get a 12 lead-EKG, CBC, BMP, cardiac labs, and a head CT.
Waste of time and money.
Mr.
Bowman, you lost consciousness.
That's concerning.
It could indicate an issue with your heart or blood flow to the brain.
In order for us to help you, we have to run these tests.
Eric, please.
We have health insurance.
We're already here.
All right.
I'll check back in a bit.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
[MACHINERY BEEPING.]
I saw a hamburger.
He was really mean.
Well, that's no good.
We'll have to have a talk with him.
Are you a police officer? No, buddy, I'm a doctor.
He's jaundiced and has ascites.
Is that causing his confusion? No, that's from a buildup of ammonia in his blood.
It's affecting his brain.
I'm gonna start him on lactulose, which will help bring down the ammonia levels, but the problem is, everything I'm seeing points to end-stage liver failure.
He needs a transplant as soon as possible.
[SOMBER MUSIC.]
Thank you, Dr.
Ziesler.
I should stay.
I can get a sub to cover my classes.
Mm-mm.
It's okay.
I'm taking the day off from work.
I'll be with him.
- You sure? - Mm-hmm.
I'll keep you posted.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
- Hey, Ben.
- Hi, Sharon.
- Hey.
- Hey, how's Auggie? Not any better.
And we don't have a donor yet.
I'm sorry, Maggie.
Weren't you looking at Heredity and Me to see if he had any relatives? Yeah, but it didn't go anywhere.
I even asked the ED staff to get typed.
Well, I'll get the word out to all departments.
Hopefully, we'll find a match.
- That'd be great.
- Okay.
Anna! Anna! What are you doing here? Just I need to talk to you about something.
Well, can it wait? I really need to talk to you now.
Can you get in the car please? [SIGHS.]
What? I, um I found these in the in the front hall.
Does she know? Sweetie, what is going on here? You're 15 years old.
I had sex one time, okay, and we tried to be careful.
I'm gonna ask you a question, and I want you to answer me honestly.
Did somebody pressure you into having sex? No! Nobody pressured me into doing anything.
It was Ryan, my boyfriend.
Your boyfriend? I-I thought that Mom didn't want you to date.
No, she doesn't.
She doesn't let me do anything.
Oh, honey, she's just trying to protect you.
Does she know? God, no, and please, don't tell her.
Honey, I'm not gonna tell her, you are.
I guess I just wish you could've felt like you could come and talk to us about this.
I was gonna tell you before your lawyer walked in.
[WHISPERING.]
Oh, God.
This thing with your Mom, you know, it's just it's complicated.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, I get it.
You guys are so busy fighting, you totally forgot I existed.
Sweetie.
Honey.
- That is not true.
Anna.
- [DOOR SLAMS.]
Going to Treatment 4.
22-year-old female.
Jumped out of a moving vehicle.
Positive LOC, GCS 11.
Good breath sounds bilaterally.
BP 90/60.
Oh, my God.
- You know her? - That's Kelly Bissett.
- The kidnap victim? - Yeah.
Mrs.
Bissett, hi.
I'm April Sexton.
Do you remember me? I helped treat your daughter a few weeks ago? Of course I remember.
Can you tell us what happened? I don't know, I was driving, and she just opened the car door and jumped.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
All right, on my count.
One, two, three.
A lot of road rash.
Let's go.
How fast were you driving? Oh, maybe 30, I don't know.
Hi, Kelly, my name's Dr.
Halstead.
Can you hear me? Do you know where you are? Hey, GCS 12.
Slightly better than in the field, but she's protecting her airway.
All right, need a CBC, CMP, coags, tox screen.
I also want an ECG, and let's get her to CT, stat.
- On it.
- Let's go.
Let's go.
Is she going to be okay? She's breathing on her own, and her heart is strong.
That's a good thing.
We'll know more when we get her scans back.
Mrs.
Bissett, I have to ask you.
When Kelly jumped out of the car, do you think she was trying to kill herself? [STAMMERS.]
I don't know.
I really don't know.
Give me some suction here where the rebar is.
Pressure's starting to drop.
Okay, keep giving her blood and plasma.
Rebar goes right through the hilum of the spleen.
Gotta get it out before I get control of the vessels and remove the spleen.
It's gonna bleed like hell, okay? - Laps and curve 6 ready to go? - Ready.
All right, here we go.
[MACHINERY BEEPING.]
[TENSE MUSIC.]
Okay.
Laps.
How's her pressure, Marty? 90/66.
Okay, keep giving her product.
Hey.
How's she doing? Spleen's coming out now.
All right.
Damn.
What is it? Tumor the size of a golf ball, on the back wall of the stomach.
Well, it didn't show on the CT.
Too much scatter from the rebar to see it.
Can you resect it? Not without the patient's consent.
I'm gonna send a sample to pathology.
Mrs.
Bissett.
- Dr.
Charles.
- I just heard about Kelly.
- Oh, yeah.
- Um.
Dr.
Halstead told me that she, uh, she broke her pelvis and has a concussion? - I'm so sorry.
- Yes.
They took her for more tests.
So I understand that she she jumped out of your car.
Do you have any idea why? Were you having an argument? Taking her someplace she didn't wanna go? No, just the opposite.
- We were going to Navy Pier.
- Oh.
I used to take her there all the time when she was little.
- Ah.
- She loved it.
So did my youngest.
Oh, boy, that Ferris wheel.
It was her favorite.
Hmm.
What was, uh, what was Kelly's? I, uh, I don't remember.
She liked it all.
[SOLEMN MUSIC.]
I thought she'd be so happy.
I just I don't understand what happened.
Any incidents or issues before today that are standing out for you? Not really.
Just I never know what she's thinking.
Look, she's been gone for over 12 years, during which she went from being a little girl to an adult.
There's bound to be a period of transition, and you just you gotta try and be patient.
She's my daughter.
Yeah.
But to tell you the truth, it's like we're strangers.
You have news? One of the donors you had typed is a match to Auggie.
[GASPS.]
That's wonderful! Yes, but unfortunately, there's a problem.
The donor has amyloidosis.
So? Maggie I know it causes protein to build up in the organs, but that might not happen for years.
But it will happen eventually, and when it does, it will be life-threatening.
Yeah, but who knows what treatments they might have by then.
Sharon Auggie needs this liver.
I understand.
I'll tell you what.
If Dr.
Ziesler confirms that it's an emergency, I can allow the transplant to proceed.
She will.
We got your test results back.
Your labs and CT came back normal.
[LAUGHS.]
I told you so.
You know what, you never should've brought me here.
Oh, Mr.
Bowman, I did hear a slight murmur when I was listening to your heart earlier, and I'd like to do an echocardiogram.
No.
No, no more tests.
Can you get this off me? And where are my clothes? Actually, Mr.
Bowman, uh, an echo is a non-invasive No, I've had that murmur since I was a kid.
There is nothing wrong with my heart.
Then an echo will prove that.
Every time you people poke me or jab me with a needle, you make this pain in my head worse.
Why don't you fix that? We will, but you came in today because you lost consciousness, a potentially life-threatening issue.
So, please, let us find out what caused it.
Fine, but you are just like every other crap doctor that I've been to.
- Eric, please.
- You know what, shut up.
I am sick and tired of you treating me this way, - talking to me like I'm a child.
- I am just trying to Shut your mouth, okay? I'm not done talking.
I'm sorry, Mr.
Bowman, could you please not? - You can just stay out of this.
- Let's just all calm down.
I can't be around you when you're like this.
Then go, get out.
I don't want you here anyway! [SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
[GROANING.]
I don't want you here.
Hey, Cindy.
It's Dr.
Marcel and Dr.
Manning.
How are you feeling? Tired.
Yeah, I'm sure.
That's understandable.
So I want you to know that the surgery to remove the rebar went well.
Now, unfortunately, there was significant damage to the spleen, so ultimately, we had to take it out.
But during the surgery, we discovered a large mass in your stomach.
A tumor.
I'm afraid to say it is malignant.
I knew it.
You did? I've been having pain for a while.
Just like my mom.
She died from stomach cancer five years ago.
I'm so sorry to hear that.
Look, I left your abdomen open.
So with your consent, I can take you to the O.
R.
, and we can remove that cancer right now.
No.
It it's best to remove the tumor before it has a chance to spread.
I won't do the surgery.
Just please close me back up.
Okay then, uh, we can have an oncologist come by and discuss further treatment options.
I can't do that.
I won't.
May I ask why? For years, I watched my mom go through painful surgeries.
Chemo made her so sick, she couldn't get out of bed.
[SOMBER MUSIC.]
All those horrible treatments, and she died anyway.
Cindy, you have to understand, cancer treatments have come a long way.
Cindy, without treatment, the cancer will continue to grow.
If you choose to do nothing, this cancer will kill you.
Then at least I'll die on my own terms.
I hate the thought of standing by and doing nothing.
Yeah.
This rate, she'll most likely be dead in six months.
You know, she's effectively killing herself.
Can we argue she's suicidal? Seems like a long shot.
Don't close her up yet.
Let me talk to Ms.
Goodwin.
You know, I've actually been thinking about you, like, quite a lot the last few weeks, just, you know, wondering what it's been like for you, being home.
You know, how's it been going? - Okay.
- Yeah.
I mean, getting your freedom back, being able to come and go, make your own decisions, I mean, it's gonna take a little getting used to, right? - I guess.
- Yeah.
Hey, how about you and your mom? How's things going between the two of you? [MACHINERY BEEPING.]
She told me that she was taking you to Navy Pier like she used to when you were a little kid.
Gosh, my kids, they just used to love going there, especially my youngest.
That Ferris wheel.
Do you ever go on it? I don't know.
- I can't remember.
- No? I'm just curious, Kelly.
What do you remember from that time? None of those things.
[SOLEMN MUSIC.]
None of what things? That my mom keeps talking about that we used to do.
Baking cinnamon rolls every Saturday morning, reading "Harry Potter" books together.
Well I can't imagine how upsetting that must be.
But try and understand that your captor, he did everything he could to wipe out your identity, and he had years to do it.
But I think that with time and with a little help and a lot of patience, that those memories are gonna start coming back.
I really do.
I don't know.
I just I can't remember any of it.
We're ready to take Auggie to surgery.
Hold on just a second.
Madeline? What's going on? [SIGHS.]
DCFS won't allow me to approve Auggie's transplant.
But Dr.
Ziesler signed off on it.
She confirmed that it's an emergency.
I heard there's an issue with the transplant.
DCFS is calling it off.
The liver is compromised.
Only a family member can consent to the transplant.
But Auggie doesn't have any family.
I'm sorry, Maggie.
These are DCFS rules.
This is insane! Isn't there something else we can do? Not at my end.
Our drug can give people their lives back.
Based on preliminary data, we can project an increase of 2.
7 quality-of-life years.
A tremendous improvement.
This drug could reduce hospital stays by as much as 22%, resulting in significant savings.
And our initial calculations estimate that to be well over $100 million in the first five years, money that could fund transplant programs and stem cell research to not only advance the treatment of heart failure, but to one day eradicate it altogether.
Thank you for your time.
That was spectacular.
Very effective.
Thanks.
Look at that.
[CHUCKLES.]
You know, you should consider doing this as a full-time gig.
- Oh, yeah, really? - No, I'm serious.
You could have a bright future running clinical trials.
Uh, I don't know.
I could set up a meeting for you with Mark Barragan, Kender's CEO.
[MUSIC.]
Well, I'm flattered, really.
But I'm an ED doc.
You know, treating patients, it's, uh, it's what I love.
Speaking of which, I'd better get going.
It's too bad you can't stay and wait for the rest of the rave reviews to come in.
Oh, hearing them from you is all I need.
I'll see you.
Hey.
Mr.
Bowman's echo was normal.
[SIGHS.]
Yeah.
There's nothing wrong with his heart.
So why'd he pass out? I don't know yet.
I'm trying to figure out if it's connected to the pain in his head, maybe shingles or a nerve disorder.
A little sleep might be a better idea.
[PHONE DINGS.]
It's Mr.
Bowman.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
[ALARM BEEPING.]
- They're coming.
- What happened? He got a horrible jolt of pain in his jaw, and now he can't even open his mouth.
Let me take a look.
[INCOHERENT SHOUTING.]
You see that? I barely touched him.
- Yeah - All right.
Mrs.
Bowman, do certain things seem to trigger an attack? Eating, drinking, brushing his teeth? Um, all of that.
I can't even turn the fan on in our bedroom without the breeze hurting his face.
Okay, April, 50 of fentanyl.
I need to get you an MRI of your head and face.
Eric, Eric, listen to me.
Look, please.
I think I may know what's causing this, something the other doctors never considered.
- [SOBBING.]
- Listen to him, Eric.
- Eric, please.
- Eric, let me help you.
Listen please.
Mm-hmm! Mm-hmm! Okay, April, let them know we're coming up.
Yep.
Mrs.
Bowman, this is Dr.
Abrams.
Well, I'm amazed Dr.
Choi was actually right.
It's a classic case of trigeminal neuralgia.
What is that? It's a condition where an artery is pulsating against a nerve, and eventually, the nerve's insulation is worn down to the point where every pulse triggers the nerve to fire.
Causes excruciating pain, as I'm sure you've witnessed.
So bad that patients have been known to take their own lives.
Judging by these scans, the extent of the nerve damage, I think the pain was what caused your husband to lose consciousness this morning.
We've been to so many doctors.
Why didn't any of them find this? - Incompetent, maybe? - Mm, no.
Uh, it's often misdiagnosed as a dental issue because of the pain in the jaw.
Is there a cure? It can be managed with medication, but I recommend surgery, a microvascular decompression.
I'd cut a small window in his skull and insert a piece of Teflon cushion between the artery and the nerve.
That sounds dangerous.
Much less so with me doing it.
Okay.
[SOMBER MUSIC.]
[MACHINERY BEEPING.]
Maggie, his sats are dropping.
I'll up the flow of oxygen.
Go to 10 liters.
Maggie, if he doesn't start to improve, I'm gonna have to intubate.
[WHISPERING.]
Hey, little man.
Can you hear me? Mom? Oh, no, sweetie, it's Maggie.
No.
Mom.
[GASPS.]
I'm right here.
- Sharon.
- Yeah? Auggie's getting worse.
They're gonna have to intubate him soon.
Oh, Maggie.
I'm so sorry.
I just spoke to Ben.
We've decided to adopt Auggie.
Great! That's wonderful news.
I know.
He already sees us as parents.
Gastern said that a family member could consent to the transplant.
But you won't be granted parental rights overnight, Maggie.
I know, but Auggie is running out of time, Sharon.
If he doesn't get the transplant today because of some stupid rule, he could die.
All right, call the transplant team and get Auggie to the O.
R.
I'll sign off on the surgery.
But what about DCFS? Well, if they wanna raise a stink, fine.
I'll go to the press.
Believe me, they don't want this tried in the court of public opinion.
Thank you.
So I thought it might be a good idea if the three of us could sit together and come to a better understanding of what happened this morning.
We were talking this morning about how you've been sharing all these memories with Kelly, and she's having a difficult time accessing those, and that's been painful and confusing for her.
- I'm sorry, Mom.
- That's all right, honey.
I remember my room, and I remember my bear, but all these memories, all these happy memories you keep talking about are just gone.
Right.
And in the car this morning, what was going on? What happened? I couldn't take it anymore.
I wanted to get away.
Almost like the despair that you had in not being able to to reclaim that part of yourself, it just made you made you wanna flee.
Does that sound right? Well, you know, Kelly's memory issues are are actually understandable, given the ordeal that she's been through, but I couldn't help noticing that that you, Mrs.
Bissett, you were also having a hard time remembering something this morning, and that was Kelly's favorite ride at Navy Pier, which is a place, I mean, you said you've been to a lot together.
Do you think there's a chance that you you might be embellishing these memories a bit? Embellishing the truth? It's my fault.
It's my fault she jumped out of the car.
Mom, no.
We hardly went to Navy Pier.
What? And the baking, "Harry Potter" We got through half of book one.
[SOMBER MUSIC.]
I always wanted to do all these things with you.
There just never seemed to be enough time.
- Right.
- But it was just the two of us.
I had to work.
And then one day You didn't come home from school.
And I could never make it up to you.
Getting you back, it's a miracle.
And I just wanna be the mother you deserve.
Hey.
I spoke to Ms.
Goodwin.
She nixed my idea.
Said even if we put her on a psych hold, we couldn't force her to have surgery.
Right.
Well, it was worth a shot.
Yeah.
She's 32.
So young.
I guess you should go close her up.
Let me talk to her one more time.
- Okay.
- Alone.
Please? Okay.
Are you gonna close me up soon? I really wanna get out of here.
Yeah, I'm sure you had your fill of hospitals when your mom was sick.
I can't even stand the smell of flowers.
People used to send them to her hospital room.
Then to the house, after she died.
You know, I, uh I lost my daughter to leukemia, about ten years ago.
Just a few months after her first birthday.
[SOMBER MUSIC.]
I'm so sorry.
It must've been horrible.
She used to fall asleep on my chest.
Greatest feeling in the world.
I mean, I remember looking down at her little face, imagining all the things I was gonna do with her.
Take her to see Santa, teach her to ride a bike.
Walk her down the aisle.
She was so small but so tough.
You know? Put up one hell of a fight.
Taught me more about courage and resilience than I could learn in a lifetime.
I don't talk about this with many people.
Why did you? Because your life is just as precious as my little girl's.
And you need to fight for it.
Fight for it.
Okay.
Hey.
Hey.
She, uh, agreed to the surgery.
- That's wonderful.
- Yeah.
I'm gonna go book her an O.
R.
now.
How'd you get her to change her mind? Made it personal.
Anna? I got pizza, honey.
Hawaiian pizza, which, interestingly enough, it turns out, was invented in Canada.
I'm bleeding.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
Okay.
Uh.
- Let's, uh, get your coat on.
- Okay.
- And get you to the hospital.
- Okay.
So we can figure out what's going on.
I thought I made myself clear.
Dude, I'm sorry, but I didn't have a choice.
I mean, that presentation was important.
More important than the E.
D.
? I was only gone an hour, and I cleared all my patients.
That's not the point, man.
Look, how am I supposed to run this department if I can't trust my doctors? Look, this trial is sanctioned by the hospital.
If you have a problem with it, take it up with Goodwin.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
A chemical pregnancy? It's when the fertilized egg has chromosomal abnormalities and doesn't fully implant into the uterine wall.
It's like having a really bad period.
You wouldn't have known you were pregnant had you not taken a test.
Anna, you're gonna be fine.
I'll give you two some time.
- Thanks, Nat.
- Of course.
You know, honey, I've been thinking a lot about what you said.
Mom and I, we've been having a tough time, and and we've been arguing about a lot of stuff, but one thing that we absolutely agree on is how much we love you.
I'm really glad you're here.
Oh, honey.
Me too, sweetie.
So since I'm not pregnant anymore, Mom doesn't have to know, right? We can deal with all that stuff later.
Mr.
Bowman, it's Dr.
Choi.
We're all here.
[MACHINERY BEEPING.]
Thirsty.
Here.
Would you like an ice chip? Mm.
You're in recovery.
The operation went well.
How are you feeling? [GENTLE MUSIC.]
[WHISPERING.]
Oh, my God.
It doesn't hurt anymore.
The pain.
I don't believe it.
- Oh, honey.
- The pain is gone.
- [LAUGHS.]
- Oh, really, honey? Carol.
Carol, all those horrible things I said.
- They were terrible.
- We we don't have to talk about that right now.
- I am so sorry.
- It's okay.
- It's okay.
- [CRYING.]
I'm so sorry.
Oh, sweetie, it's okay.
Mr.
Bowman got his life back 'cause of you.
It was a tough diagnosis.
I got lucky.
Mm, that wasn't luck.
You went the extra mile for him.
He was so horrible.
Another doctor might have given up.
But you didn't.
Just trying to do my job.
Hey.
About Noah? What you did I get it.
It's not easy being in charge.
I'm hungry.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
Now we know you're feeling better.
[CHUCKLES.]
- Can I have pizza? - Mm-mm.
We'll start with something lighter, and see if you can hold it down.
Sabeena.
I've been giving some thought to your offer about meeting with your guy at Kender.
I'd like to take you up on it.
Sure.
But I thought you said your heart belonged to ED.
Eh, I don't know.
I'm just trying to keep my options open, I guess.
Brilliant.
I'll get something on the books as soon as possible.
Thanks.
You leaving? Yeah.
I'll walk you to your car.
Great.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
