"Hey, Nick," "Did you find my other glove?" "Uh, no." "All right, well, never mind." "I got to go." "You said it was freezing outside." "Yeah, well, it's either find the glove or miss the bus." "And if I miss the bus, I miss the train, and then I'm an hour late to Short Hills like I was yesterday." "[knock at door]" "Hi, I'm Sarah." "This is Noah." "We just wanted to welcome you guys to the building." "Uh, I'm Nick." "This is Sonia." "Hi." "Good to meet you." "You guys are gonna love it here." "Lots of young couples." "Tons of kids." "Oh, my God, everybody that moves here gets pregnant within six months." "[phone ringing]" "Uh..." "Sorry, guys." "I'm just--I'm late for work." "I got to run." "No problem." "Stop by sometime." "We're just down the hall." "Hello?" "Sure." "Nice to meet you." "Hey, Nick, have you seen my keys?" "Your driver's downstairs." "My what?" "Huh." "Shut up." "Who sends a car for their nurse?" "[distant phone rings]" "Hey." "Oh, hi." "Uh, what are you doing in here?" "Do you need something?" "No, I'm just-- I'm hiding." "Why?" "I went over to Chris' apartment last week, and I threw myself at him." "Oh." "How did that go?" "Well..." "I'm in here crouched on the ground, and he's out there with his cute girlfriend." "So not good, then." "He said no." "He looked me up and down, and he said, "no, thank you."" "Hi, I'm Dr. Briggs." "They have a kitten together." "I'm still talking, actually." "It's my first day here." "I'm trying to check some labs... can you believe that?" "But I.T. hasn't given me a password yet." "Can I use yours?" "No." "The kitten's name is mcat." "Isn't that cute?" "Their whole life is cute." "But you're cute too." "Again, still talking." "Still without a password." "Look, I hate to interrupt what is undoubtedly a profoundly important conversation," "But I need to check a cbc and coags." "My match dot..." "Oh, because I'm a nurse," "And I mess around on the computer all day, and I have a sad personal life." "Well..." "Chloe." "Okay." "I have never seen you before in my life." "You don't even have an I.D." "I am not going to give you access to everybody's medical records just because you say you're a doctor, which, by the way, you should know I'm now having doubts about, because you're acting so weird." "What's your name?" "Veronica Agnes Callahan." "Joe Briggs." "Funny story, I'm the new Chief of the I.C.U." "Thanks for all your help." "You can use my password." "It's labradoodle." "Too late, collaborator." "See you met the new boss." "Made your usual, wonderful first impression, I'm sure." "I didn't do anything." "It was her--it was all her." "And thank you." "I am now screwed." "Helen, how about a memo saying we've got a new boss?" "Who is he?" "Uh, he's supposed to make a boatload of money for the hospital." "We'll see." "Isn't he a little young to be such a hotshot?" "No." "We're just underachievers, honey." "Got a 35-year-old woman, moderate hypothermia." "Hiker found her comatose in the woods with a pressure of 100 over 60." "What's her core temp?" "86 degrees on arrival." "Jeez." "We got her up to 93 with heated o2, warm saline, and the bear hugger." "She a surgical patient?" "Just, uh, consulting." "Second-degree frostbite." "She could use a little debridement, but no need for amputation." "Good to hear." "Hang another liter of saline." "I'll update the vitals." "Hey, Beth." "Beth, can you hear me?" "No, mind leaving that on?" "It's gonna help you breathe." "I'm Dr. Chris Sands." "You're at Mercy Hospital." "We're warming you up." "You're gonna be fine." "My son." "What about your son?" "He's still out there." "Please." "Still out where?" "In the woods." "Call search and rescue." "Please." "He's only eight years old." "Paramedics can't intubate kids without base contact." "I'll go." "I'll go with you." "We'll find him." "Mercy 1x13  Can We Talk About the Gigantic Elephant in the Ambulance?"

"What do you want me to do?" "One second you're pushing me away." "The next second you're at my house with a boom box over your head." "Do you think it's easy" "For me to be vulnerable like that?" "No, I think it probably takes three or four shots of vodka." "Right." "Okay." "I'm an alcoholic." "That's fine." "Take the easy shot." "You told me to move on." "Told me many times, in a mean tone of voice," "So I have." "You want to go get the kid, or what?" "Sure."

"I think he set out on his own this morning." "My men found some tracks." "[cheering]" "That's very sweet." "I'm not sure if she can hear," "But I thought the familiar sounds might help her feel better." "It's a great idea." "How is she?" "Well, her--her blood gas is improving." "And her lungs?" "You should really talk to her doctor about that," "But it seems things are looking up." "One more week." "Can't wait to get her off all these machines." "I know they look scary." "But kids with H1N1, they're really responding well to the ecmo." "She's almost there." "So I am a man." "I have, uh, curly hair, like a man poodle." "I can dance." "Craig?" "What are you doing here?" "Uh, I, um..." "I was just--I was playing a game with my new friend Sid over here." "Second clue, then." "Um, I'm in the movies, but I'm mostly known for being a popular singer." "Vic Damone." "How the hell should I know?" "How are you doing?" "I'm doing good, you know?"

"No." "No, I'm just--I'm just gonna finish up this game with Sid, who's never gonna get it." "Justin Timberlake." "That is, actually, the right answer." "Bye." "Okay, Sid." "I wish I was in a coma." "Angel, do you remember that guy, Craig, whose wife died?" "He's still hanging around the hospital." "He's a lost soul." "People can't leave the place where their wife or grandma or whatever died." "We get 'em all the time." "Sad." "That's sad?" "I have to go disimpact some guy who hasn't pooped in a week." "What about me?" "[sighs]" "Lauren?" "Lauren?" "What are you doing down there?"

"Yes." "Okay." "Lift up the knees." "Ready?" "Yep." "I think it's time to repaint." "I don't know how I ever got talked into this color." "Maybe wallpaper this time." "Wallpaper's good." "Maybe just on one wall." "Yeah." "That's good." "Lift." "Okay." "Something floral." "Flowers are cool." "I like flowers." "All of a sudden," "The steering just went totally weird on me." "Well, yeah." "You got a bent tire rod." "You go over a rock or something?" "Uh, yeah." "A rock." "Or, you know, someone's bike." "Um, can you fix this, or what?" "Because my brother is going to kill me." "This is your brother's car?" "Dude, I told you I spent last summer in a tepee." "How would I be able to afford this thing?" "Let me tell you how you should have opened the conversation." ""hey, Mike, it's Simone." "I need some help fixing my brother's car."" "And then I go, "yeah, good luck with that."" "Click." "Which is why I didn't mention it earlier." "You know what?" "It's fine." "I'll take care of it." "I owe you one." "What are you talking about?" "Well, give me a push." "Oh." "Took your advice on that vision quest or whatever." "Only made it as far as Atlantic City, but let's just say that the Gods smiled on me." "Oh, yeah?" "Yeah." "Well, how big of a smile?" "Pretty big." "I'll fix this later." "Come on." "I'll take you to work, tell you how it went down." "Yeah, um, about work," "I, uh..." "Did you get fired or something?"

"You know, Jamie is this total stress case, and to tell you the truth," "I think he's looking to sell Delaney's." "You're kidding me." "Also, I was late every day." "Come with me." "Okay." "Where are we going?" "To get your job back." "Eli!" "What?" "Oh, my God." "Over here!" "Cyanotic." "No spontaneous respirations." "Bagging on 15 liters." "No pulse." "Let's get some blankets on him." "Starting compressions." "Code three to Mercy." "Think he's got a chance?" "No." "Give it a shot anyway." "Let's go." "Need a core temp." "Get me a portable chest now." "How long was he down?" "We don't know." "Let me take over." "Okay." "On my count." "One, two, three." "Pupils are fixed and dilated." "Core temp is 74." "Surface warmers aren't gonna touch him." "We need to rewarm the core." "The core." "Do you want ecmo?" "Call the I.C.U." "Put a 14 french in the I.J." "I need ecmo to the E.R." "Eli!" "What's happening?" "Is he gonna be okay?" "They're gonna put him on heart-lung bypass to warm his blood." "We'll go out the jugular and into the carotid." "Morning." "Hey." "Looks like you had a fun night." "Depends on your definition of fun." "Uh, took some clients to dinner." "And then we went to this after-party in the meatpacking district, and then as I'm leaving," "I run into these jackasses I know from Harvard." "Then..." "Okay, yeah, I guess it was a pretty fun night." "And to think some of us" "Have to work when we go to work." "So that happened." "I know what you're thinking, but don't worry, because it's not cocaine." "It's actually heroin." "That's hilarious." "Your mom had a fall this morning." "What?" "Is she okay?" "She's fine." "Well, where were you?" "Well, I wasn't on shift yet." "The question is:" "Where were you?" "Look, it's none of my business if you're partying, but if you're gonna be here, you got to be here."

"Mm-hmm." "Venous line's in." "I got a second liter primed." "Hey, it's nurse indignant." "Somebody call for ecmo?" "We did." "Kid's got a core temperature in the 70s." "Cardiac arrest for at least two hours." "Ecmo's his only shot." "Well, then he's out of luck." "We only have two machines." "One's in a preemie, 25-weeker," "Other one's an eight-year-old girl, respiratory failure." "Swine flu." "How long's she been on ecmo?" "Two weeks." "I went over her labs." "Her last gas was good," "But she's not out of the woods." "Well, can she come off it for three hours?" "Off the record, I think she'll be fine." "Then let's ask her parents." "We can't just let this kid die." "You want to have that conversation?" "I don't." "Okay, then the kid dies." "Where's the cafeteria?" "I'm starving." "We have to try." "I'll talk to them." "You mind if I come with you?" "Just to keep up the appearance that doctors actually run this hospital?" "We are not risking our daughter on some million-to-one shot." "We just need to give this boy a fighting chance." "Well, I'm sorry." "That's just not gonna happen." "What's going on?" "They want to take Kylie off the machine" "And give it to someone else." "It's only for a little while." "This is Eli's only chance." "Are you sure that's such a good idea?" "Chloe." "We're just exploring all of our options here." "Okay, well, she has to be on the machine for another week." "I mean, that's crazy." "Okay, excuse me." "If I may, I'd like to offer a solution." "I could perform a bronchoscopy" "Insert a flexible telescope into Kylie's lungs, and instill recombinant dnas to break up the mucus." "Not only can Kylie come off ecmo, but her lungs should resume almost normal function eithin two hours." "Then why the hell didn't anybody tell us about this before?" "Because I wasn't here before." "It's my first day." "And the treatment is somewhat unconventional." "Unconventional." "So is she better off with the machine?" "Ecmo is a fine option, but it does come with bleeding complications." "I think this is a better way to go." "If you got a solution, why didn't you just say so?" "You set me up in there." "No, no, no, you actually set me up, which is why it worked so brilliantly." "You see, if you hadn't terrified and alienated them first, they never would have been open to my actually more radical solution." "We're like Fred and Ginger." "If Ginger was an angry, bitter nurse." "Is this actually gonna work?" "Hope so." "Hey, come on." "No nagging." "You're better than that." "She's not, but you are." "Look alive, girls." "Day just got interesting." "[machine beeping]" "Looks pretty good down there." "Almost as good as new." "[machine beeping loudly]" "Oxygen saturation is low." "Bag her up." "Do you want me to call the E.R." "to check the status of the ecmo?" "I want you to bag her." "Sats are still down." "Give the surfactant a chance to work." "You should never have given up the ecmo before you knew this was gonna work." "If you're gonna be in here hopping from foot to foot," "I can't use you." "Can we at least get the oscillating ventilator for backup?" "If it'll make you happy." "But I bet you $50 million you don't need it." "[clicks pen]" "[loud beeping stops] [laughs]" "You owe me $50 million." "He's still so cold." "Well, that's--that's actually not a bad thing, Beth." "Cold is what slowed his metabolism and protected his organs." "If we warm him up slowly and get his heart started, there's a chance he'll be okay." "Lines are primed." "No bubbles." "Okay, stop the chest irrigation." "Unclamping." "Ecmo on." "Beth," "Let's let the machine do its work now." "Angel will take you for your chest X-ray." "He's... he's crazy about the stars, you know?" "Last night," "Mars was in oppositi." "Eli wanted to see it," "So we went out hiking with his telescope." "And I didn't know that it would get so cold." "And he fell on the ice and he sprained his ankle, and I tried to carry him, but he was so heavy, and... and then we saw this ranger station, and... and I thought that he'd be safer there." "So I wrapped him in my coat." "And I tried to make it back to the car, but I got lost, and..." "I never should have left him." "Beth." "If you didn't go for help," "You both could have died out there." "but he wouldn't have been alone." "I could have stayed with him and held him." "He is not gone." "He's still here." "And we're not giving up, okay?" "Oh, you've got to be kidding me." "What am I supposed to say?" "I have no wisdom to offer." "My wife died," "I became hysterically paralyzed." "Clearly, I'm not qualified to be anybody's life coach." "Okay, well, I don't know what else to do." "I helped you, now you help him." "Pay it forward." "Craig, hey, um, so I thought you might like to talk to Dr. Harris." "He's recently lost his wife as well." "Uh..." "Yes, it's true." "I know what you're going through, Craig." "The loneliness." "The despair." "The suicidal ideation." "Indeed, many's the night" "I've dreamt that I'm lying there in the grave next to Yelena as they throw dirt over us like some strangely comforting blanket." "Exactly." "I've had that same dream." "Okay, this wasn't exactly what I had planned." "Do you find yourself" "Listening to the last message that she left you over and over again?" "Oh, my God, yes." "It's the normality of it that's so shattering." "Dan, I don't think you should focus on" "Mine's from before she got sick." "She called to remind me to pick up the dry cleaning." "Oh, dry cleaning." "Mine's milk." "It's her voice." "Just her voice saying everyday words, you know?" "I do." "Does it get better?" "Not so far." "Although, people are kind," "The sun rises and sets, and occasionally I feel as though I have something to offer the world." "That's the best I can do." "Well, that's something."
