[DR. LIM] Previously on
The Good Doctor
You've always taken after your father.
- Why is that a bad thing?
- It isn't.
He was driven, and he was brilliant.
I wish that he had been able
to ask for help.
And insert the tube into the vacutainer.
And you've just passed phlebotomy 101.
Oh, God.
[SHAUN] Stop talking.
You're distracting me.
[CHARLIE] I wanted to impress you.
It's a top journal
[SHAUN] Get out of OR!
Charlie Lukaitis
won't listen to me.
I cannot work with her anymore.
Apparently, she can't
work with you, either.
She filed a complaint against you.
- [ASHER] What's going on?
- I've asked them to leave.
He's a Jew, too.
A gay one, in fact.
And I'm calling the cops.
[LINE RINGING]
- Are you okay?
- Yeah. Now go get engaged.
[GRUNTS]
[SOMBER ORGAN MUSIC PLAYS]
Are you okay?
Yes.
I am meeting with HR
to discuss Charlie's
complaint this afternoon.
Okay.
It's just been three days
and you've barely mentioned Asher.
I've read that grief reactions
are delayed in people with autism.
When a loss finally hits,
it can be really intense,
sometimes even overwhelming.
If that happens, find me anytime.
Okay.
Asher and I came from different worlds.
I am a devout Christian from Oakland,
and he was an Orthodox Jew
turned atheist from Brooklyn.
But when we met at St. Bons,
he became my closest friend.
Asher had a way of making you feel like
he saw the best version of you,
but he still loved you at your worst.
He was also one of the most
courageous people I knew.
Brave enough to leave behind
the people he loved
to be the person he knew he was inside.
He was stubborn and opinionated,
[CHUCKLES] had a strange
affinity for grandpa sweaters,
made a crazy-good margarita,
and he was just so, so much fun.
[BLINDS OPENING]
I've made breakfast.
I'm not hungry.
You're barely eating.
I know. I'm exhausted.
I couldn't sleep last night.
I know.
I've heard you up every night since
Isn't your friend's funeral today?
Yeah. I-I think I'm coming
down with something.
I'm gonna do a swab at work.
I don't think you're sick.
You should talk to a therapist.
[SCOFFS] I just need sleep.
I have to tell you something
about your father.
And I should have told you this
years ago,
but I promised him that I
Mom, I cannot do this right now.
- [CELL PHONE CHIMES]
- You idolized him,
and he never wanted you
to see him vulnerable.
You won't listen to me,
but you will answer a text?
Well, it could be work.
- Honey, your father
- Ma, I gotta go.
[DOWN-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS]
He was one of the most
considerate people I knew
and a damn good doctor.
He knew what the patient wanted,
so he fought for it.
He made it happen.
But that was Asher
standing up for his beliefs.
Even if it cost him his family,
even if it got him in trouble,
Asher always did
what he thought was right.
[VOICE BREAKING] And now he's gone
because of a couple of
ignorant, hateful monsters.
They knew one thing about Asher.
One thing. And they killed him for it.
Left him lying there
bleeding on the pavement.
And those animals, they get to live.
And now he's dead.
And I hate them.
I hate them for taking my friend.
[CELL PHONES CHIMING AND BUZZING]
Have to go. We all do.
[CHIMING AND BUZZING CONTINUES]
Excuse me.
A guy drove his car through a
crowd at San Jose SpringFest.
- Accident?
- Doesn't look that way.
How badly are we outnumbered?
Still early intel,
but it looks pretty bad.
Activate Mass Casualty Event Protocol.
Alerts are out. ORs are up.
- Elective patients are canceled.
- Good.
We have eight surgeons away
at the Cleveland Conference.
I need a surgeon.
Severe head injury,
hypoxia, and seizures.
[SIRENS WAILING IN DISTANCE]
Skull fracture,
brain herniation with CSF leak.
I'll take him up.
Call Dixon. He's the backup Team Leader.
- He's in Cleveland, too.
- [SIGHS]
- Put Murphy in charge until I get back.
- You sure?
Today's gonna be messy,
especially after losing Asher.
You'll help him.
Shaun won't let emotions get in the way.
[SIRENS CONTINUE WAILING]
[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS]
Dispatch said we're getting
over 25 patients,
many critical. First wave just arrived.
Lim's gonna be in the OR for a while.
SpringFest was
six blocks from our house.
You were gonna take Eden.
I know it's horrible,
but these things are pretty rare.
Are they? Look at Asher.
Are you okay?
You seemed pretty angry at the funeral.
Seems pretty reasonable.
[PARAMEDIC] Watch your backs.
Do you need me to slap you?
I hope not.
You gonna have a problem
working with Dr. Murphy?
I hope not.
Okay.
Doctors Park, Kalu, and Allen,
you'll be treating Red Tag patients.
Dr. Reznick, you're with the ER
physicians on Yellow Tag patients.
Dom, you're on Green Tags
in the waiting room.
Green Tags?
Red Tags are urgent surgical patients.
Yellow, urgent non-surgical.
And Green, minor injuries.
Minor injuries. I can do that.
What about me?
You're on Black Tags.
But they're already dead.
Yes, every Black Tag patient
needs a pronouncement checklist
completed before they can be
moved to the morgue.
Those bodies are taking up
valuable space.
It feels like you're punishing me
for filing an HR complaint against you.
I am not. Not working with you
is an unintended benefit.
That's not how you're gonna
get her to drop the complaint.
And you're gonna need
all the help you can get today.
Yes, and I need more surgeons. Like you.
I'm not available. Remember?
You have experience,
and I am very short-staffed.
You're short-staffed
everywhere you look.
Give me Yellow Tags.
Bay six.
I'm taking her for an Ex-lap.
Jordan needs you.
[PARAMEDIC 2] I've got a red tag.
I need a surgeon.
Flora, blunt abdominal trauma,
40 weeks pregnant.
This is Ken, massive flail chest.
I need a surgeon now.
There are only two of us.
Move them to adjoining bays.
She is critically hypoxic.
My patient's bleeding out.
My guy's here because of him.
Ken jumped in front of the car,
saved a little girl.
- This the driver?
- Yeah. His leg's a mess.
Femoral artery's lacerated.
Tourniquet there.
- [MACHINE BEEPS]
- Pressure's critically low.
She must be bleeding into her abdomen.
FAST ultrasound.
What do you see, Dr. Allen?
Massive cardiac contusions,
pulmonary artery trunk tear,
lung lacs
Okay, those are terminal injuries.
This patient needs a cut down
to clamp his common femoral artery.
I can cross clamp Ken's aorta.
That won't fix his heart.
He is a Black Tag.
He risked his life to save a kid.
That is very heroic.
He will be dead soon.
You can still save the driver.
We should try to do everything we can.
You have. Move on.
She's in cardiopulmonary failure.
[ALARM BLARING]
She's dying. I can't save her,
but I can save the baby.
Prep trauma one for a C-section.
Dr. Allen, the leg. Now.
[MACHINES BEEPING, SIRENS WAILING]
[MAN] Crash cart!
[INDISTINCT PA ANNOUNCEMENTS]
Melissa.
They're unhurt, but their dad
was just brought in.
Can you check on the status?
I don't know where to start.
Start with the patients
on the left side of the room
and work your way over to the right.
Hi. I'm Dom. How can I help?
There's a uterine rupture here.
Fetal decels are critical.
[ALARM BLARING]
[BABY CRYING]
Baby looks good.
Dr. Murphy, we can take it from here.
Get a Black Tag for the mom.
I need a thoracotomy tray.
I might be able to save the mother, too.
[ALARMS BLARING, SIRENS WAILING]
That's two more units of O neg.
His pressure's stabilizing.
[FLATLINE]
[DR. LIM] That's the
last bleeder. Bipolar.
[NURSE] There's just
so much vascular damage.
[DR. LIM] I think I have good profusion.
Let's close the dura.
[ALARM BLARES]
[JL] Cerebral pressure is spiking.
[DR. LIM] His brain's herniating.
I need to remove half his skull.
[JL] Blood pressure dropping.
[HIGH-PITCHED ALARM BLARES]
She's minutes from anoxic brain injury.
There. In the pulmonary trunk
Dr. Murphy, four more Red Tag
patients just came in.
There it is.
Amniotic fluid entered her bloodstream.
The clump of hair got stuck,
blocked her circulation.
Mom and baby will be fine. Yes?
While you've been in here,
four Red Tags arrived,
two nurses need central lines,
and Kalu's asking for you.
[SIRENS BLARING, PEOPLE SHOUTING]
[WOMAN] We have incoming
ambulances with multiple casualties.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS]
The damage to your husband's
brain was too severe.
[SOFTLY] He didn't survive.
I'm so sorry.
Shaun needs you to take
another patient to the OR.
- It's STAT.
- [SOBBING]
[SIRENS WAILING IN DISTANCE]
[SCREAMING]
I need to relocate your ankle
to restore blood flow.
Can you hold this over your wound?
Maybe you should call your supervisor.
Maybe.
- [ANKLE CRACKS]
- [SCREAMS]
- Ah!
- Got it.
A new patient just walked in.
She can't wait.
[PANTING]
[WOMAN ON PA] Pediatric alert,
bay seven.
Can you tell me what happened?
Car came through my stand.
Everything went flying.
Something hit me in the eye.
Cast-iron skillet, I think.
Let me take a look.
[GAGS]
Dr. Reznick!
[JARED] I think I can save his leg
with microvascular anastomosis.
[SHAUN] No, you need to
amputate below the knee.
[JARED] Limb salvage is tricky,
but I really think I
[SHAUN] That is a six-hour surgery
with a less than 5% chance of success.
We could save six patients in that time.
[JARED] Okay. Clamping bone two.
[SHAUN] Huh. The last time
I was in this room,
Asher and I were doing a colectomy.
[JARED] You need a minute?
I am faster at limb amputation than you.
See the Red Tag in the corridor.
We're out of treatment rooms.
[SHAUN] Convert the storage
room into a trauma bay.
Can't. Charlie's still
processing the Black Tags.
I need to head home to Steve.
You want to come with?
I could make you a sandwich,
loan you a baby for an hour.
Steve's cuddles can be very soothing.
Thank you.
I'm just gonna sit here a little longer.
Yeah.
Call me anytime.
[DOWN-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS]
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS]
The nurse says you're my son's doctor?
- He's in a lot of pain.
- Who's your son?
Riley Larson. He's over there.
The driver. I know who he is.
Can you give him something stronger?
He had the standard dose
of morphine 30 minutes ago.
He's still hurting.
That's a shame.
There's a lot of people
hurting right now.
It takes some time
for the meds to kick in,
but he should feel some relief soon.
Move, move, move.
Tell the OR to prep for bypass.
It's okay, Amy. I'm here.
Look, I tried to get to her, but
Please just save her.
We're on our honeymoon.
[INDISTINCT PA ANNOUNCEMENTS]
These bodies need to go to the morgue.
His pupils are fixed,
but I don't think they're dilated.
Apparently pupillary dilation
is very subjective.
I'll finish this.
"The Principles of Neurology"
Mm.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS]
You can't check the pupil box
because this patient is still alive!
Starting ACLS protocol.
Cardiac arrest from a tension pneumo.
- Ethan needs this.
- No, that doesn't matter.
- He was a Black Tag?
- Lazarus effect.
When the paramedics did CPR,
air compressed his heart
until it stopped.
- I saved his life.
- No, I did.
- Heart's too fast. Amnio.
- On it.
Inserting a central line.
I was right about the pupil.
You were listening to a book
while he was dying.
I gotta get his pressure up.
I was learning.
You can't learn if you don't listen.
Asher was excellent at
receiving constructive criticism.
That's not a fair comparison. Asher
You know what?
It doesn't matter who saved him.
Let's just keep him safe. Okay?
Central line is in.
All right, the pressure's good.
It's good.
Charlie, can you get us
a cardiac monitor, please?
She's not gonna be at her best,
nor anyone else,
if you continue to argue
over every stupid little thing.
She is not helpful.
She's helpful to me.
Then you take her
for the rest of the day.
[ALARM BLARING]
[JL] She's bleeding everywhere.
Hanging FFP.
[DR. LIM] I'll do an ACP to
divert all blood to her brain.
Ophtho is expecting her.
Hey, I'm sorry. I just
I don't think I can
make it through this day.
Then quit.
Tomorrow. Right now, I need you
to deal with that guy in the corner.
The EMT thought it was cardiac,
but it's just a panic attack.
Take him somewhere quiet
and calm him down.

[SOBBING]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS]
[SOUND MUFFLES]
[MAN, MUFFLED] Excuse me. Doctor.
[MUFFLED CONVERSATIONS]
You need to look at this.
I've been waiting two hours.
[SOUND NORMALIZES]
S-Someone will get to you soon.
After my arm gets infected.
We're doing the best we can.
Then get more doctors.
Hey, look around you. People are dying.
Sit down and wait your damn turn.
You have a new patient.
20-year-old, shattered pelvis.
Charlie, I need that thing.
Sorry. I was reading Ethan's EKG.
Hook up the drain now.
Good. Start suction.
You're doing great.
Dr. Murphy doesn't think so.
He's still evaluating me.
That's why I filed the HR complaint.
We'll deal with that
when the time is right.
A bad evaluation will stop me
from getting into a surgical residency.
No matter what I do,
Dr. Murphy will
find something to criticize.
Why is he like that?
Dr. Murphy has been held
to a higher standard.
He's doing the same thing to you.
That's not fair.
Nevertheless,
he wants you to be perfect,
so you do the best you can.
I need you to treat a complex
liver laceration, Dr. Glassman.
I'm not operating. I told you that.
It can't wait.
Well, Dr. Lee should be finished by now.
I just gave him an open hip fracture.
Well, then transfer the patient to SFG.
They are on diversion.
For crying out loud, Shaun,
you know the last time
I was in an operating room,
and a liver lac?
Yes, it is a complicated,
multi-step surgery.
Exactly. I might kill the patient.
He's already dying.
You are my only option.
So it's me or the janitor?
The janitor is cleaning trauma two.
He is very bright but is
Okay. Okay. Okay.
Just give me Nurse V.
At least she'll keep me honest.
Nurse Villanueva
is running the ER with me.
Nurse Paikin, then.
Assisting Dr. Lee.
Nurse Lashelle,
she is very experienced and available.
Okay, fine.
Keep an eye on Mr. Newton's
hemoglobin and Ethan's EKG.
My son's pain medication
still hasn't kicked in.
I'm on my way to surgery.
It's been two hours. Please!
Then he's likely maxed out
for the next couple hours.
I know what you think of me.
I can't even argue with you.
He left me a letter.
He didn't think he'd still be alive.
He wanted to die doing this.
For as long as I can remember,
I've been trying to help him.
We tried everything.
Pills, therapy,
inpatient, outpatient.
Seemed like he was making progress.
Maybe that's just what I hoped.
[CRYING] I'm angry, too, at him.
How could he have done this?
And I'm angry at myself for not
knowing what he was capable of.
I wish you would help him.
[NURSE LASHELLE] He's down a liter.
[DR. GLASSMAN] Give me two units.
[MONITOR BEEPING]
Okay, here we go
into the triangle of death.
So many things can go wrong.
[NURSE LASHELLE]
You want to talk it out?
[DR. GLASSMAN] Clamp the porta hepatis.
Ligate the left hepatic
to control the bleeding.
Remove the left lobe
- Dr. Glassman?
- Yes.
I need you to look
at Ethan's rhythm strip.
Is it urgent?
He's in sinus rhythm,
but I noticed a run of PVCs.
[DR. GLASSMAN] Well, keep him monitored.
I'll check it when I'm done.
But a half hour ago, he had another run.
[DR. GLASSMAN] Didn't I tell
you to check every 45 minutes?
I'm being thorough.
[DR. GLASSMAN] PVCs are fairly common.
Can I do a 12 lead and electrolytes?
[DR. GLASSMAN]
That's a good idea, Charlie.
Run it past Dr. Paxton in cardiology.
[CHARLIE] Mm.
[DR. GLASSMAN] Okay.
Clamp the porta hepatis.
Ligate the left hepatic
to control the bleeding.
[DR. LIM] I need threaded
pins here to stabilize the pelvis.
[JL] What is it?
[DR. LIM] He looks a lot like Asher.
[JL] Maybe a little.
[ALARM BLARING]
Blood pressure's dropping.
[DR. LIM] There's bleeding
in the pelvis. Vascular clips.
[ALARM CONTINUES BLARING]
Okay, your pressure's pretty high.
I still feel my heart racing.
That sounds normal.
Maybe that doctor lady
should do another EKG.
I learned about mindfulness-based
meditation last semester
in psych class.
I think that could help you.
I'm here for medical care, not yoga.
- Is that bad?
- It's just a little nosebleed.
Pinch hard.
I've never had a nosebleed like this.
I need a doctor in here. Hello?
Why is it not stopping?
Okay, 500cc bolus.
Get her to OR three with Dr. Lee.
I need to hand off to a doctor.
One minute.
Morgan can close this when she's free.
Two more Red Tags in the corridor.
- Have Jared take them.
- Dr. Kalu's still in the OR.
Then get Asher.
Asher?
Oh. He's dead.
One of the Red Tags
has a chest impalement.
He could go south soon.
Doc, my crew has an urgent pick-up.
Dr. Quao needs an anesthesiologist,
but they're all tied up.
I need you to look at Ethan's EKG.
There are some unusual patterns.
Dr. Glassman is supervising you.
He's busy. He sent me to Dr. Paxton.
He thinks this is normal,
but I think Ethan is gonna die again.
Okay.
Dr. Paxton was right and I am very busy.
If you compare them over the two hours,
you'll see the clusters.
- Sorry.
- Quao really needs an answer.
And that Red Tag needs a surgeon.
Okay.
- Look, two hours ago
- Okay.
- [SOUND MUFFLES]
- Dr. Murphy?
Dr. Murphy, Quao really needs an answer.
[PARAMEDIC] Doctor,
we have an urgent pick-up.
[SOUND NORMALIZES]
- Find Dr. Park.
- We need a new Team Leader.
Wait.
Dr. Murphy, I see
you're covering your ears.
[SOUND MUFFLES] I think you're
feeling very overwhelmed.
I would be, too,
with people coming up to me,
bombarding me with questions.
But maybe it would help
if you broke it down
[SOUND NORMALIZES] step by step,
issue by issue.
We can't wait any longer.
Go find Dr. Park.
Get the plastics resident to
close for Dr. Park in OR one.
and send Dr. Park
to the corridor patient.
EMT can hand off to Dr. Steffy
in the procedure room.
And the anesthesiologist in trauma five
should be finishing soon.
Come with me now.
We are going to save
your patient's life.
He has a ventricular aneurysm.
His heart's going to rupture.
There's no empty OR and this can't wait.
- I will have to operate.
- Here?
- It's not sterile.
- I can treat an infection.
I can't do anything for him
if he's dead.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS]
Okay. You have to help me.
It seems like it's slowing down.
[COUGHS]
This is a posterior epistaxis.
A what?
An artery ruptured
in the back of your nose.
You're bleeding out. I need help!
Look, I gotta go find you a doctor.
Uh, I don't feel so
Help! I need help, somebody!
Somebody help!
Inflate the balloon
Inflate the balloon
I got the DeBakeys.
There are no Dacron sutures in the ER,
but I think the Teflon should
be a suitable replacement.
Yes, it is.
- [WOMAN] I need a surgeon!
- Is that the aneurysm?
Yes, and we're too late.
It's already ruptured.
Give me your finger.
You need to plug this.
Don't move.
- [DR. LIM] Clear.
- [DEFIBRILLATOR THUMPS]
Push another milligram of epi.
[ALARM BEEPING]
Charge to 50 joules.
Heart monitor's showing asystole.
It's an unshockable rhythm, Audrey.

What the hell happened?
TachoComb sheet is in place.
Give me the
Final closure.
I need to run mattress sutures
to secure it.
Any error, I will destroy
the blood supply
to his entire left ventricle.
- That sounds really bad.
- It would be catastrophic.
Can I help?
You must do exactly what I tell you
- exactly when I tell you.
- Okay.
Teflon sutures.
Cut here. Exactly here.
Very good.
Hold this forceps at a 30-degree angle.
You see that felt strip edge?
Press it down gently.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS]
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
I couldn't watch the news anymore.
So I made cookies.
It's stupid.
What else can I do?
Nothing, Mom.
- You can't bring Asher back.
- I know.
I am so sorry.
Yeah.
Oh.
What were you gonna tell me
earlier today about Dad?
[CLEARS THROAT]
He was an amazing man.
Love of my life, really.
And he had clinical depression.
What?
He traveled for work,
but some of those trips,
they were hospital stays.
And he never wanted you to know.
- Why?
- Because
he loved being your hero.
He loved being a success,
being immersed in his work.
But when those things
weren't propping him up
he would get lost.
And I know that I am far from exciting.
No, you weren't all wrong about me.
More than anything,
I have found fulfillment
from the small connections
that I share with people
like making cookies for my daughter.
He would have been so mad
that I told you,
but I realized that
I couldn't keep telling you
that I was worried about you
without telling the truth about why.
I loved your dad,
almost as much as I love you.
I am so proud of who you have become.
And I don't want you to end up like him.
[GROANING]
Okay.
[GRUNTS, EXHALES SHARPLY]
This will help him
sleep through the night.
I promise I'll keep
your son comfortable.
Thank you.
Thank you. [SOBBING]
Simon. Kerry.
You ready to see your dad?
Go see your dad.
I saved Ethan's life twice today.
You just saved him once.
The first time I did.
I may have been wrong about you.
You might make
an adequate surgeon one day.
The corridor is clear,
and there are four empty bays
for walk-ins.
Thank you, Shaun.
You did a great job.
It was a lot to ask, especially today.
I am a good leader.
Let's take a look at that arm.
I'm sorry about earlier.
You were right.
Compared to what these people
are dealing with, this is
You don't need to apologize.
It's just that my wife's
been home alone all day.
She has MS.
I have to lift her.
That sounds tough.
Not really.
She's an amazing woman.
An amazing architect.
What's her name?

Apparently, she can't

She filed a complaint against you.

- I've asked them to leave.
He's a Jew, too.
A gay one, in fact.
And I'm calling the cops.
[LINE RINGING]
- Are you okay?
- Yeah. Now go get engaged.
[GRUNTS]
[SOMBER ORGAN MUSIC PLAYS]
Are you okay?
Yes.
I am meeting with HR
to discuss Charlie's
complaint this afternoon.
Okay.
It's just been three days
and you've barely mentioned Asher.
I've read that grief reactions
are delayed in people with autism.
When a loss finally hits,
it can be really intense,
sometimes even overwhelming.
If that happens, find me anytime.
Okay.
Asher and I came from different worlds.
I am a devout Christian from Oakland,
and he was an Orthodox Jew
turned atheist from Brooklyn.
But when we met at St. Bons,
he became my closest friend.
Asher had a way of making you feel like
he saw the best version of you,
but he still loved you at your worst.
He was also one of the most
courageous people I knew.
Brave enough to leave behind
the people he loved
to be the person he knew he was inside.
He was stubborn and opinionated,
[CHUCKLES] had a strange
affinity for grandpa sweaters,
made a crazy-good margarita,
and he was just so, so much fun.

[DOWN-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS]
He was one of the most
considerate people I knew
and a damn good doctor.
He knew what the patient wanted,
so he fought for it.
He made it happen.
But that was Asher
standing up for his beliefs.
Even if it cost him his family,
even if it got him in trouble,
Asher always did
what he thought was right.
[VOICE BREAKING] And now he's gone
