"It's not your bodily fluids I'm worried about, it's that, um... little green stuff on there." "Is that spinach?" "No." "Is it?" "I don't have spinach on my teeth." "What the hell?" "I've already missed three calls from my office." "What time is it?" "Hey, it's Rachel." "Is she all right?" "Should we send something, like flowers or merlot or something like that?" "Yep, well, I will, um..." "I'll pick up the case files on my way in." "Okay." "Yeah, no, no." "Don't worry about it." "It will be fine." "Where is it again?" "Great." "Okay." "Bye." "Hey, uh... question?" "Hmm." "What hospital do you work at again?" "Holy crap!" "I knew we were going through changes, but I didn't think..." "They were gonna kill my E.R.?" "Well, they did." "I'm just here to finish some charts and clear out my locker." "Why did I re-certify as a trauma surgeon if we don't do trauma." "You could transfer to General." "Or join me and drive into the sunset straight off the unemployment cliff." "You be Thelma, I'll be Louise." "Where the hell is that pencil-pusher?" "I'm gonna give him a piece of my mind." "Bathroom?" "!" "Quick!" "If he falls and impales himself on a toilet brush, call me." " Hey." " Hey." "What would you call my greatest assets?" "Is that a trick question?" "You're transferring?" "Like rats leaving a sinking ship." "Hey, uh, do you have a pen?" "Mine's dry." "What the hell, I don't need it anymore." " Speaking of rats." " Look." "Look around, ladies and gentlemen, a glimpse of this hospital's future." "You see, I believe in Hope Zion." "In fact, I've seen its ability to produce talent firsthand." "Talent like Dr. Williams here." "Cassie, come over here." "Another sign of the future." "And my choice for chief surgical resident." "Are you serious?" "Thomas, thank you!" "He can't do that." "Can he do that?" "No." "But he just did." "Excuse me, Miss." "[coughing]" " There's something wrong with my chest." " Yeah." " Are you dizzy?" " Yeah, we're... we're still transitioning, so forgive us for a few hiccups." "Sir, I'm sorry, but this isn't an emergency room." "I can call you an ambulance." "Is it hospital?" "We don't have the proper systems in place to deal with a, yeah, a cardiac situation." "The General is your best bet." "Oh, my God." "[chuckles lamely]" "Sorry." "Where... where were we?" "She keeps putting up this front like she can handle anything in the world." "But I know her and she's scared." "I just with there was something I could do." "It's your mom." "Of course you do." "Maybe it's not as bad as you think, though." "No, Shahir's not known for making mountains out of molehills." "Plus, today of all days," "Maggie and I get to try to keep our medical licenses." "It is crazy." "Your life is crazy." "It is." "You could use something to look forward to." "Oh, yeah?" "Yeah, something to take your mind off things while the dust settles." " Mini-Putt." " Mini-Putt." "Played a round the other night." "The course is pretty immaculate." "Dr. Palmer, are you asking me on a date?" "No, no, I just..." "I just want to work on my short game." "[chuckles] Okay, well, you know I'm gonna crush you." "I appreciate your confidence, but we'll see how it holds up to the windmill on the 12th hole." "Okay." "Meet in my office after work?" "It's a date." "Alex." "Hmm?" "Look, you saved her life." "Don't let anyone tell you different, okay?" "Thank you." "Maggie." "Is she up?" "No." "No changes in Bree's condition." "You should get yourself cleaned up." "The lawyers are gonna be here soon." "I thought if I went through all this stuff, that I could figure out a way to wake her up." "Is this my fault, Alex?" "What if the blood thinners I gave..." "Blood thinners didn't put her into a coma." "We know how this works." "The body needs to heal in its own time." "And now the lawyers are coming." "Well, regardless of what happens, we did the right thing." "Now, I need to take care of something." "Just stay strong." " She'll wake up." " Okay." "It's Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease." "Its symptoms mirror aggressive dementia." "It's rare, but..." "I triple-checked the test results." "How long does she have?" "Well, she's already experiencing some cognitive decline, and once symptoms show, it's rapidly progressive." "How long?" "She'll be on a vent in four to five months." "But, Alex, by then, the woman you know will be gone." "Well, there has to be something." "There isn't." "Right." "I'll have to tell her as soon as possible." " I want to be there." " No." " No, Alex." " This disease is too confusing." "And... and her last outburst was caused by stress over upsetting you." "She needs space, time to process." "[voice breaking] She's my mother, Shahir." "I know." "I'm sorry." "Dr. Harris, nice to see you again." "Just wish it was under different circumstances." "You don't know the half of it." "Eric Hawes, counsel for Hope Zion." "Rachel Carter." "My colleague had a family emergency, so I will be representing the medical licensing body on her behalf." "Dr. Harris." "Miss Carter." "Number 48." "I guess my number's finally up." "I wasn't sure if I was getting out of this place." "Right this way." "You know, some people are actually being sent away." "I wish that wasn't the truth." "Have a seat." "Yeah, I saw one of your guys tell this poor man that he'd call an ambulance for him." " Hmm." " [chuckles]" "Calling an ambulance to a hospital." "He is not one of our guys." "Please, get comfortable." "Well, if I don't let my feet breathe, they sweat." "Which will bother my wife when I get home and I take off my shoes." "If she's bothered, everyone's bothered." "Well, you can't have that." "I cannot." "I'm Eli King." "Zach Miller." "[Thomas speaking indistinctly]" "Is there someplace you'd rather be, Zach?" "I'm sorry." "I... it's my last day at work." "There have been a few changes around here that I don't agree with." "The guy in the suit?" "Mm." "Yeah, well, I'm just a guy with sweaty feet." "Even I can tell that that man's head is so far up his ass, he can't see what's obvious to everyone else." "And what's that?" "That this place ran a whole lot smoother when it was an actual emergency room." "[chuckles]" "Let's focus on you, shall we?" "What brought you in today, other than the hyperhidrosis, which is a real condition, by the way, if she gives you hell again." "Hmm." "I like that." "But..." "I think I'm okay." "I just woke up feeling a little... off." "Okay, well, why don't..." "Sekara." "I gotta go get a pen." "You sit back, relax, put your feet up, okay?" "Dev." "Dev, I need my pen." "[tires screeching] [crashing, glass shatters] [horn honking, alarm wailing]" "Oh..." "You okay?" "[groaning] [man screaming] [honking and wailing continue]" "[groaning]" "We're gonna take you to an operating room, okay?" "Man:" "I can't freakin' move!" "Okay, I'm gonna need you to calm down, Martin." "Look at me, look at me." "I need you to relax." "Stay still, look at me." "Deep breath in and out." "There you go." "Breathe in and out." " There you go, that's great." " Ohh!" "Oh, dude, what the hell are you doing?" "!" "You can feel that..." "that's good." "That's good." "That means your spine is okay, and that means that you are getting oxygen to your brain." "My brain?" "Why?" "What's wrong with my brain?" "There's nothing wrong with your brain." "You just keep talking." "Yes, I know..." "I know ambulance service has been suspended here." "It's not a drop off!" "I need someone picked up!" " [moans]" " How we doing?" "Keep talking." "Oh, I got a freakin' car pinned to me, man." "How do you think I'm doing?" "That's good, that's good, that's good." "Martin, I'm Dr. Bell." "I'm gonna take your pulse, see how your heart's doing, okay?" "Just... just send them!" "Who?" "Everyone!" "We need to get these people out of here." " I could use a hand over here." " Okay." "O-Okay, everybody back up, please!" "Please!" "Let's let these doctors work." "Okay, he's bleeding from his abdomen." "Okay." " Pushing morphine." " [moans]" "Okay." "Martin?" "This isn't gonna feel the greatest." "[screams]" "Okay, when we move him, we're gonna need to be ready, 'cause I don't know what we're dealing with under here." "Okay, capillary refill is normal on the right, but it's weak on the left." "Martin, how's... how's your back?" "Do you have any pain?" "My... my back... oh, it's freakin' roaring, man." "Okay, it could be aortic dissection." " We can't wait any longer." " Right." "Okay." "Martin, we're gonna be right back, okay?" "Yeah." "Yeah." " Cassie, keep talking to him." " Yeah." "You're just gonna leave us here?" "We don't have a choice." "Tie his legs!" " Thomas!" " Okay, guys, I need you to move over here." " I'll prep an O.R." " Come on, let's get moving!" "All right, back up, folks." "Come on." "Back it up." "Jackson, I need bicarb calcium, insulin, glucose." "Should be right there." "Well, it's not." "Where are the drugs?" "God damn it!" "[clatter]" " Okay." " There's calcium on the ward." "I'll go raid the lab." "Meet me back here." "Got it." "Okay, how you doing, Martin?" "I'm not gonna lie..." "I'm getting a little sick of that question." "I get that, I get that." "Thomas, I need you to hold this still." "Wait, wait." "You want me to..." "Just local pressure, okay?" "Dev took the driver up to imaging, and the rest of the staff is flooded." "So right now, you're all I have." "Okay." "[screams]" " Hold it!" " [grunts]" "We're here today for a preliminary inquiry into the case of Bree Hannigan." "Violet Jackson, Miss Hannigan's common-law partner, has lodged a serious complaint with the licensing body." "Bree was enrolled in a cancer study here at Hope Zion, and now she's in a coma." "We want to know why." "Well, our doctors were administering gene therapy as well as chemotherapy to help fight her Stage 4 breast cancer." " Until she developed a bowel obstruction." " Yes." "Dr. Reid and Dr. Lin presented me with options to help relieve the obstruction." "I trusted their judgment and gave them my blessing." "And you felt confident in that decision?" "Yes." "Even though you're an orthopedic surgeon and you'd only been named interim chief that day?" "I was chief before for three years." "What happened?" "I got into a car accident." "And I was in a coma." " Oh." " That seems to be going around." "And when I got out of the coma," "I wanted to focus on other things." "Like what?" "Uh, like my life, like my fiancée." "[whispering indistinctly]" "I was engaged to Dr. Reid." "Was." "Well, that changes things, doesn't it?" "How?" "Will you excuse me?" "I'd like to request a five-minute recess." "[Martin chuckles]" "I was gonna call in sick today." "Cassie:" "You should conserve your energy." "I just came in to visit my drummer." "Martin, please." "Rocko." "He was drumming so hard... that the stick broke off into his eyeball." " Ugh!" " [chuckles]" "Martin:" "Yeah." "That was the most metal thing I ever saw." "Except I think I got him beat this time." "Because this... this... this is brutal." "[chuckling weakly]" "I should call my mom." "Yeah." "Yeah, we can do that." "[voice breaking] She's pissed at me." "She got me this job at my uncle's shop, and I keep flaking." "I'm trying to do this music thing, you know?" "Can you get my phone?" "Yeah." " Thomas?" " Oh, uh, um..." "Martin:" "It's in my left pocket, man." "[sniffles] Can you dial?" "[cellphone drops] Thomas?" "Focus." "Okay?" "It's in my contacts." "It's under "Mom." [chuckles]" "Uh, okay, okay, it's ringing." "Mom." "Mom?" "No, I'm not at work." "Mom." "Just listen." "[crying] I just wanted you to know that I know that I'm a screw-up, okay?" "[sobbing]" "But..." "But I love you." "Martin." "Martin?" "H-Hello, Miss?" "No, no, there's been an accident." "Your son is at Hope Zion." "I need help over here!" "Okay, no... no, no, no, no, no." "He's gonna be fine." "We're gonna save him." "Look, I-I have to go." "You should just... just..." "just... you should come." "Why did you tell her that?" "You shouldn't say that." "Alex and I are separated, okay?" "We're not together." "We weren't together." "But you and me... that could be a huge conflict of interest." "Maybe you should pass this case off." "No." "It's not a conflict of interest for me." "I'm very good at my job." "Is that her?" "Is that the lawyer?" "Unfortunately, yes." "Don't worry, Maggie, just tell the truth, you'll be fine." "If anything changes with Bree..." " They'll page us." " Thanks." "Maggie?" "No, you're not dead, you're in a coma." "No, you can't touch anything, and, yes, I can see you." "Okay?" "Okay." "If I'm the one who's in a coma, why did Maggie look so worried?" "There's an investigation." "Your, um, girlfriend has asked the medical licensing board to review your case." "She can't do that." "No. [chuckles]" "Maggie has been my only support through all of this." "I-I can't let Violet blame her." "Okay." "Then wake up." "'Cause all this goes away if you wake up." "Okay." "How do I do that?" "We need to move him." " What?" "No!" " We wait for the ambulances." "They should be here any minute." "He doesn't have time." "Zach, without the E.R., we might not be able to save him." " Jackson!" " Yeah!" "Get in the car, put it in neutral, and wait for my word." "Jody!" "Jody, get a stretcher ready!" "No, no!" "They're coming!" "Help is coming!" "Cassie, come down here and feel his pulse and tell me what you think." "It's faint." "He doesn't have enough time." "So switch with me." "I want you to come down here." "We're gonna push this car off him." "The second we get it off, we're gonna be dealing with a ticking time bomb, all right?" "But right now, this is our only option." "We move fast, we move smart, and we save his life." " You got it?" " Yeah." "On three." "You ready?" "One..." "Stand up!" "One, two, three... push!" "Push!" "[grunting] [screams]" "He's not getting any air." "Let's get some pressure on him." "Let's get that tube in his left side right now." " Yeah." " Let's stop here." "Stop, stop, stop!" "Hey, doc, I could use a hand." "I'm not feeling so..." "Okay, somebody help him!" "We need help over here." " Okay, tube's in." "Let's go!" " Go, push, let's go!" " Uh, crap, it's..." " Okay, okay." "What... okay, where are your shoes?" "[groans]" "Is that... have you been drinking?" "No, I feel kind of woozy but..." "But... but... but what, you're a drunk?" "I'm sorry, my levels are..." "But there are other things, bigger things happening." "A car just..." "Don't you get that?" "Look, just sleep it off." "[curtain rattles]" "I just need a minute, Anna." "Hey, buddy." "[whispering] Hi, Mom." "How are you?" "Why are you whispering?" "[device beeps]" "Oh, she won't wake up." "Watch." "Hey, Eunice!" "[snores loudly]" "Mom, keep it down." "She had thyroid surgery." "Been out like Sleeping Beauty [chuckling] ever since." "Not that it does me much good, what with that chainsaw in her mouth." "[chuckles]" "How you doing, buddy, huh?" "I had to see him." "I hope you don't mind." "No, that's fine." "It's fine." "Mom, I need to talk to you about something." "Did Shahir explain what's going on?" "♪ This is the way ♪ ♪ the horsey goes ♪" "♪ Ba-dump, ba-dump ♪" "Mom, did Shahir talk to you about what's happening?" "Look at this face." "I just could eat this little face." "Mom, did you talk to Shahir?" "Alex, I know I wasn't the best mom." "But maybe now that we have all this time, the way to make up for it is just to be the best damn grandma that Luke ever had." "Oh, crap, I said "Damn."" "[chuckling] Oh, I'm sorry, pickle." "I just..." "I just wanted to say that I'm grateful to be back in your lives." "You look so serious." "What's wrong?" "It's nothing." "I just need to talk to your doctor." "I'll be back, okay?" "I'll see you soon, okay?" "Bye." "Bye." "Say, "In a while, crocodile."" "In a while, crocodile." "Crocodile." "Crocodile." "What the hell, Shahir?" "Can you be more specific?" "You were supposed to tell my mother." "Oh, yes." "I explained to her the condition, gave her the prognosis." "Why, what happened?" "Nothing happened." "She was just sitting there with Luke like nothing had changed." "But I told her, Alex." "I was thorough, concise." "Do you think she didn't retain it?" "Well, if that's true, then her cognition must be declining rapidly." "The disease must be progressing faster than I thought." "So [clears throat]..." "So, what do we do next?" "Well, I have to tell her again." "No, I..." "I will." "Shahir, please... it should be me." "Your work has been questioned before, yes?" "Litigation over a pledget... left in a patient after surgery." "That allegation was proven false." "So what's that saying?" "Once is an incident, twice is a pattern." "Not when one was disproven." "Violet, I know you want answers." "You said you'd take care of her." "So what, that gave you the right to abandon her?" "Dr. Lin, your contact with the patient was 100% professional?" "Because I see three separate requests for funding for accommodation that were all denied, and yet several of the other trial patients said that Bree did, in fact, stay overnight." "It was just one night." "Bree was very sick." "After her treatment, we had no beds available, so..." "I made arrangements for her to stay in the call room." "You had a sleep-over with her?" "Not with her, for her." "Well, that's new." "So I'll ask you again, Dr. Lin, was your relationship with the patient purely professional?" "I'd like to request another recess." " We can't do that." " I can." "Five minutes, please." "I may have gone above and beyond, but I didn't cross any lines." "You should have disclosed this to me." "Okay, I think she's gotten us off topic here." "The issue is whether or not Dr. Reid and Dr. Lin were medically negligent." "Let's stick to that." "Fine." "But my primary interest here is in protecting the hospital, not your medical licenses." "If I don't have the whole picture, you're on your own." "Fine." "Don't worry, Maggie, just... focus on the medicine." "Yeah, there's a problem there." "When you signed off on the surgery, you didn't have the full picture, either." "What are you talking about?" "Alex told you that we reversed Bree's blood thinners." " Mm-hmm." " But we didn't." "Alex lied about the blood work?" "She was going septic." "Alex knew you wouldn't okay a surgery if you knew..." "So she lied about the blood work?" "She's not in a coma because of the blood thinners." "That doesn't matter, Maggie." "'Cause if she doesn't wake up... you and Alex... you're finished here." "[tone over intercom] [indistinct P.A. announcement] [tone repeats]" "We need to talk." "In a second, darling." "Mom... you're sick." "Shahir tried to explain it to you, but your memory has been compromised because of a disease." "Yes." "Sounds like a furniture designer." "[sophisticated voice] And over here, we have the Creutzfeldt-Jakob." "[normal voice] Lovely bed, to be sure." "So you do know." "Yes." "What am I supposed to do about it?" "Why don't you talk to me about it?" "I mean, what do you think?" "What do you want to do?" "I want to see Luke." "I know, but I think we should talk about this fo..." "I said I want to see my son." "Luke is my son." "I named him after Luke, my brother." "He was your youngest son, but... he's gone now, Mom." "H-He's gone." "I know that." "You don't think I know that?" "I'm just saying, I'm..." "I'll be seeing him soon." "I'd like to be alone now." " Mom, I..." " Just go, Alex." "Go." "Of course." "[monitor beeping rhythmically]" "How's Martin doing?" "Dana:" "Imaging confirmed an aortic dissection just past the left subclavian artery takeoff." "I got a couple cracked ribs here." "This guy's pierced a lung." "When we close, we'll get a tube in there, wire up those ribs." "I'm not concerned about them right now." "The break's clean enough." "Where do you want me?" "There was damage to both the kidney and the bladder, but we need a visual to see how bad they really are." "I stitched a kidney last week, I could get started..." "You know, whatever happens in here today, that's on your boyfriend's head." "Thomas should never have turned that patient away." "Dr. Bell." "Someone pass Dr. Williams the retractors." "Wait, you want me to waterski?" " Dawn..." " Someone has to do it." "I've been on this case from the beginning!" "Well, you can take it up with Thomas." "As per his memo, we're limited to one set of auto-retractors per O.R., and ours are in use." "So... get out on the lake." "If you're not gonna open that abdominal cavity soon, you can vacate my O.R." "[scoffs]" "The lawyers are looking for you, but we need to talk first." "Okay." "Alex, they're gonna figure out that we gave her blood thinners." "Maggie, you gave her blood thinners in good faith." "The situation changed, and we did the best we could." "No, the lawyer's good." "She's gonna find out eventually." "Well, we followed protocol." "We're gonna lose our licenses." "No, we aren't." "Keep it together." "[cellphone buzzes]" " [sighs]" " What is it?" "It's my mother." "Gotta go." "So, what, you're just gonna leave?" "You're used to it, aren't you?" "Have you even thought this through?" "I mean, what are you gonna do when you forget how to use the phone or when your brain stops telling you that you need to breathe?" "!" "I'm a dead woman, Alex." "You can't save me." "What does it matter if I die here or on a beach somewhere with a bucket full of margaritas?" "[coughing]" "Damn it!" "Hey." "You're okay." "Hey, I need some scissors and gauze, and somebody page this woman's doctor!" "Okay, Eunice, you have a post-op bleed that's constricting your airway." "But you're gonna be fine." "We'll relieve the pressure, and you'll better right away." "Okay, here we go." "Hold still if you can." "[gasping]" "Okay..." "Gauze." "[coughing]" " Better?" " Yeah." "Good." "Just breathe." "Post-thyroidectomy bleed." "She'll need new sutures." "Stop being such a martyr." "He's hypotensive." "Systolic pressure is under 70." "Push volume." "On it." "Hey, talk to me." "How's it looking in there?" "Left kidney's pretty battered, and the bladder is like a popped balloon." "You know, if Cassie has experience, maybe she should stitch that bladder before we take the kidney out." "No, I want you leading on this." "Is that a problem?" "No." "What's happening?" "Surgery." "Well, is he gonna be okay?" " I don't know." " Well, what do we do now?" "We clean up." "There's an urgent care clinic to run." "Remember?" "You have something you want to say?" "This isn't my fault." "Then whose fault was it?" "The man that you turned away?" "It was an act of God." "Maybe, but before you got here, we used to handle those just fine." "Eli?" "Hey." "Hey, E..." "Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey!" "Acetone." "I need insulin IV quick!" "Uh, uh, we... we need help over here!" "I don't have a pulse here, come on!" "Hurry!" "Now!" "Come on, Eli, stay with me, bud." "Stay with me." "[panting] [device squeals]" "Clear!" "[electric shock]" "Dr. Miller, he's gone." "What are you doing?" "Hit him again!" "[panting]" "Time of death, 5:07 P.M." "No!" "Hit him again." "You put him in this cubicle." "I-I-I thought he was drunk." "And you left him alone, and you didn't go get help." "This man is an insulin-dependent diabetic!" "I didn't know that!" "Get your hands off me!" " Or what?" " I..." "You'll fire me?" "I-I smelled it." "He was drunk." "Acetone!" "You smelled acetone!" "You take a first-year med student out of any hospital, and they will tell you that diabetic ketoacidosis mirrors symptoms of inebriation." "But you... you saw a Native man with booze on his breath, and you filed him into one of your little boxes." "His name is Eli King." "He's got a wife and sweaty feet, and now he is dead because of you." "I don't think you understand what I'm saying." "The surgery wasn't a hard decision, it was the only decision." "And do you believe Dr. Bell would have okayed that decision?" "I don't see how that's relevant." "She's not chief of surgery." "Just an observation." "Miss Carter, get to the point, please." "Fine." "Here it is." "We have a young woman in a coma, and as far as I can tell, all of the doctors charged with her care acted unprofessionally." "How exactly did I act unprofessionally?" "Even if we overlook the fact that you used your personal relationship to get your way..." "My personal relationship doesn't factor into this." "Even if we overlook that, should you have been in the O.R." "the day Miss Hannigan had her surgery," "I looked on the registry for that day, and I found two patients..." "Luke Reid, age 2, and Martha Reid, age 55." "That's your son and your mother, yes?" "Fell at the playground." "He's fine." " It was just a bump." " And your mother..." "Is none of your business." "Still, after a stressful day like that," "I might have taken a mental health day before I picked up the scalpel." "Well, then it's a good thing that you're not a doctor, because we deal with highly stressful situations all the time." "I'm trying to get to the truth here." "Then ask me about my patient." "Not my mother." "You have to stop this." "[sighs]" "Excuse me, this is a... call I really need to... take." " How's that bladder?" " Bladder is done." "But I think we're gonna have to lose that kidney." "Williams, how many nephrectomies have you done?" "I don't know, three or four." "I'm not losing a patient to tired arm." "She's his best shot." "What, are you uncomfortable with nephrectomies?" "Yes, Dawn, you're sidelining a resident when she should be banking experience." "What the hell is going on?" "Aortic graft is set." "How are your arms feeling?" "They're fine." "Switch out with Dr. Kinney." "Right angle." "You have to wake me up, Charlie, please." "Shock me, pour cold water on me, inject my heart with adrenaline." " Adrenaline?" " Yeah, I saw it in a movie." "If there was something I could do to wake you up," "I would have done it by now." "Well, I just can't watch that lawyer tear them apart." "Okay." "Then let's figure this out." "Blood thinners were administered at 3:00." "An hour later, Miss Hannigan is rushed to the O.R." "Yes, because she had a bowel obstruction." "Weren't you worried that she'd bleed out on the table?" "Of course I was, but we were prepared for that." "Were you prepared for any of the other catastrophes that might have happened with blood thinners in her system?" "What is keeping you here?" "I don't know." "Maybe you like it." "Maybe... it's great not feeling nauseous from chemo all the time." "Yeah, that's not it." "You sure?" "I hate it here." "Why?" "Because I'm alone." "Miss Carter, perhaps we should recess until..." "No, we are not taking another recess." "Dr. Reid, how could you bring this patient into the O.R.?" "I was afraid that she would die of sepsis if I didn't." "And you've never been alone before?" "Not since high school, not since Violet." "She wanted to come to this city, so I followed her." "And she wanted to get married, so... we got engaged." "But she left." "Yeah." "And I replaced her with..." "With Maggie." "I'm scared of being alone." "How did you get the surgery approved?" "Dr. Reid?" "If I didn't operate, she would have died." "It was a risk I was willing to take to save her life, and I would do it again." "Now, are we done?" "No, we are not." "I'll ask you again, Dr. Reid, how did you get the surgery approved?" "I know you." "You just met me." "No, but I see you." "I see someone who had the courage to stand up to a small town and say," ""I'm different,"" ""whatever the outcome."" "I see an aspiring art student." "I see... [chuckles]" "I see a hopeless romantic." "And I see a survivor." "You can do this, Bree." "Yes, you can." "You just need to wake up... and keep fighting." "[crying] I don't have anyone." "You don't need anyone." "You're enough." "I just wanted to see if she was okay." "Yeah, um..." "I'll check on Alex." "Maggie:" "I'm so sorry about all this." "She's awake." "Bree is awake." " She's okay?" " Where are you going?" " To see my patient." " Can I come?" "Please?" "I just wanted her back." "I need to see her." "Of course." "Come on." "Cassie:" "We saved him." "Martin." "He lost a kidney, but he's recovering." "We almost had to kick the drummer out of the room 'cause he kept drumming on all the bedpans." "My first hospital... in Winnipeg..." "I-I was too soft and I failed." "1,864 people lost their jobs." "I haven't had a full night sleep since." "No matter how much good I do, that man's death is my legacy here." "Mr. Leffering?" "His wife is here." "Are you gonna tell her?" "It's okay." "I'll go." "No." "No." "This is on me." "It should be me." "[knock on door]" "So, the licensing board has ruled in favor of Hope Zion." "Yeah, I heard." "And..." "I bought you this." " It's pink." " Mm-hmm, it is." "It's to help you lighten up." "[chuckles]" "I'm glad we had a chance to reconnect." "Yeah, me too." "[sets down toothbrush]" "But I hear a "but."" "But..." "Rachel, my life is..." "is kind of complicated." "[chuckles] Well, so is mine." "So let's not over-think this, then." "Dr. Reid." "I hope there's no hard feelings." "I was just doing my job." "You and me both." "I came to apologize." "I put you in a bad position." "Yeah, you put three careers and a patient's life on the line." "I did." "But given the circumstances, I would do it all again." "Are you gonna report me?" "I haven't decided yet." "Well, when you do decide, shoot me an e-mail." "I'm gonna take a few days off." "Okay." "Are you all right watching Luke for a few days?" "Of course." "My mom's sick." "Terminal, actually." "Alex." "It's not an excuse for what I did, but I just wanted you to know." "Hey." "Hey." "Hey." "You go, go... be with your mom." "I'll take care of everything else." "Okay?" "[footsteps approach]" "Hey." "Hey." "Well, I guess I'm not as tough as I thought." "I barely made it to the lobby." "Do you remember that day..." "I was walking you home from school, and it was garbage day, and we found this old TV on the side of the road?" "Yeah, and you tried to get me to smash it." "But you were so serious." "I thought it would be fun, but you wouldn't let me." "I think I worked on it every night for, like, a month till I got it up and running." "That's who you are, Alex." "You never give up." "I've been thinking." "What if we just went somewhere?" "The two of us." "Oh, honey." "I would love that." "Good." "Good." "I'm sorry." "I thought it's what you would have wanted."
