"JACKIE:" "Previously on Nurse Jackie..." "You tell your nurses that Mike Cruz just hired a crew to expand the elevator shaft for a helipad." "I kind of wanna go to public school." "It's closer to Dad's." "Okay, well, that's certainly something we can talk about." "That's God." "Vermin!" "And he's crazy." "(WHEEZING) You were supposed to be here." "You okay?" "Allergies." "When I get nervous, I act out with inappropriate sexual touches." "It's like Tourette's." "MIKE:" "Where did you get the drugs?" "I don't work at a hospital fucking a pharmacist." "Promise me you're not gonna fire her." "I promise." "I'm fired?" "I'm gonna need your badge." "And you'll have to leave immediately today." "(DOORBELL RINGING)" "Zoey, can you set the table?" "On it." "Wow." "You guys look great." "Exit interviews." "I'm starving." "Tomorrow, I'm going to the dentist." "And I'm gonna pick up a dog." "I've been wanting a dog." "If you're trying to make me feel better, you're just gonna make me feel worse." "I'm not trying to make you feel better." "I just lost my fucking job." "I'm telling you, I'm getting a dog to make my life whole again." "Okay, and you know what?" "I feel guilty." "So now you feel guilty." "Let me get this out of your way." "Actually, I'm still working." "Thanks, honey." "You cannot take this on, Jackie." "I lost my job the day Mike Cruz showed up." "And if it weren't Mike Cruz, it would have been someone else." "She's right." "Amen." "It's not like it used to be." "Everything I loved about being a nurse is gone." "You would have loved it." "No calling upstairs to ask permission for every goddamn thing, no filling out the same form three times." "Sometimes it's four." "Actually, you're the one who made us fill out things four times." "Or not." "It was okay." "Either way." "Is this quiche?" "It's store-bought." "Fucking Cruz." "It's gonna turn around and bite him in the ass." "Stay out of it, Jackie." "Sorry, it's just hard." "I know you did what you did so I could keep my job." "And now I expect you to make sure you keep it." "I'm gonna miss being in the trenches." "Which is why we think breakfast should be a regular thing." "Why I think." "Berries." "Hey, Fi." "Hi, sweetie." "Hi." "Hi." "I need my lunch." "Well, who's picking you up from school?" "We're going to Dad's." "Remember?" "Where's your sister?" "Grace is on strike." "I love you." "See you later." "Excuse me." "So, I can totally text you guys highlights from the trenches every day, sometimes even pictures." "Does my phone get pictures?" "Dressed, now." "Don't throw things at me." "Put your clothes on, Grace." "I told you I wanted to go to public school." "I wasn't kidding." "Please, not today." "Dad said yes." "He filled out all the forms." "All you had to do was go meet with my principal." "I will meet with your principal." "When?" "Today?" "Look, Grace, I know things take a little bit longer 'cause your dad and I are not in the same house." "(SCOFFS)" "I promise you, I will take care of it." "You don't know what it's like to have to go to a place that you hate every day." "As a matter of fact, Grace, yes, I do." "Two of my friends got fired." "Do you think I want to go to work?" "No, I don't." "Well, Dr. O'Hara is still there, though, right?" "Yeah, and you know what?" "She doesn't want to go to work either." "But we get up, we get dressed and we keep going, because that's what we do." "Please come on downstairs." "You can be late." "Come have some waffles with my sad friends." "JACKIE:" "What's with the armbands?" "We're in mourning." "Yours is on your desk." "Wow, depressing." "And we're also fundraising." "That's awful, but sweet." "Here." "Should you be doing that with two kids and a divorce?" "Yes, I should." "It's early." "Why are we already packed?" "St. Luke's is diverting again." "We're the closest, so we're the ones getting slammed." "I'd rather be busy so I don't get sad." "Or mad." "So what did they do?" "It's hard to get fired here, believe me." "Is he cleaning house?" "Is he going to say anything to anyone about anything?" "About me?" "Just leave it alone." "Boooo." "You know what this place doesn't need?" "A tip jar." "We're raising funds for our friends who no longer have an income." "Do you have an income?" "I do." "All right, we'll put it in the supply room." "No, you'll get rid of it." "Okay." "MIKE:" "Nothing crazy today." "I've got Quantum Bay board members in town for a meeting." "You're gonna bring them here?" "Why don't you pretend like I am?" "And I'll pretend like I know your name." "And lose the armbands." "No one died." "Um, people die here all the time." "It's a hospital." "I'm keeping mine on." "Take it off." "Really?" "I can't handle anyone else being fired right now." "Please?" "Oh, my God." "This is hilarious." "(LAUGHING)" "What?" "They went to college, right?" "I can't watch this." "Coop, you have a minute?" "Come here." "I need you to take this in and not freak out." "Gloria and Eddie were fired last night." "Fuck." "Cruz?" "No, Zoey decided to let them go." "How could..." "So that's it?" "They're done?" "I mean, why?" "I don't know." "I don't know the details." "But I need your help today, Coop." "I can't have anyone else in his crosshairs." "We just got to..." "Keep calm and carry on." "Wow." "Yes, exactly." "Saw it on a poster." "Okay, you need a minute?" "No, I'm fine." "Okay." "Shit." "Yeah, maybe I need a minute." "30-year-old male found down on the curb." "Totally intoxicated." "Punched me even though he was passed out." "Woke himself up to tell us he's from Buffalo and that I'm a bitch." "Why am I the only physician on the floor right now?" "I don't know." "Did you fire anyone else today?" "No, but it's only 10:00." "Nothing but time." "I can taste my fucking fillings." "What are you doing?" "His pants are still dry." "I'd like to get a catheter in there before he pees all over us." "BP and heart rate first." "Get him out of the jacket and onto the monitor, please." "We only have a tiny window." "I really don't want to be cleaning up urine." "I asked nicely." "Do it now." "Fine." "Oh, that's beautiful." "What are you..." "You two, out." "You did that on purpose." "You wanted him out of the jacket." "I did what you told me to do." "You're being insubordinate." "How?" "You want to fire me?" "Go ahead." "Nobody's looking." "No, I made a promise to my kid." "Besides, I don't need to fire you." "You're a drug addict." "I live with one, remember?" "Only a matter of time before you fuck up again." "I'm in no rush." "Neither am I." "Get his vitals, finish the catheter, hang a banana bag and put him out in the hall." "We're out of bays." "Someone call housekeeping." "Get the feathers out of trauma." "Oh, my God, it looks like Narnia." "(LAUGHS)" "He's not done." "Well, he can't fire anybody else." "Look at this place." "You all right?" "My lower back's a disaster." "I can't get comfortable." "(GROANS) And I hate complaining." "I've waited all my life to have this baby." "Yes, which is why he must be born." "(INHALES)" "(EXHALES)" "Her first migraine." "Yeah." "Ah." "Hello, Tosha." "Can you tell me how you're feeling?" "Awful." "People get these all the time?" "I can barely keep my eyes open." "I'm sorry." "It's all right." "Any other discomfort?" "No, it's just..." "It's like now I have a headache that goes from here to the back of my neck." "You a smoker?" "Yeah." "Off and on." "Then my mom got sick, so, you know," "I got back together with my Parliaments for comfort." "How's your mom?" "She died last week." "Oh, I'm sorry." "So, you know, she's all right, but I'm a mess." "Stress can trigger migraines quite easily." "That's what I thought." "Fuck." "Are they always this bad?" "BP is high." "Um," "CT just to be safe." "(WHISPERS) I'm gonna have a sit-down." "Go." "I got it." "Okay." "What are you doing in my office, Coop?" "(SIGHS) I've been pretty on board with all your changes, but this one, this one's a misfire." "You know I'm not discussing this with you, right?" "I know, but if we were copilots and you fired this shot, I'd be like," ""Whoa, that's not a bogey." "That's one of ours, man." ""Stop shooting, Goose."" "Right, and then I would say," ""Keep your eye on the sky while I run the guns."" "I know what I'm doing here." "They're good people." "No one said they're not." "Look, I've got to get down to the pharmacy." "I'm installing a Pill-O-Matix while we get our act together." "That's not gonna go over well." "Look, I don't have time for feelings today." "That robot takes over the pharmacy in an hour, and then I'm putting in some face time with the Quantum Bay guys." "That's how it is." "Requesting a flyby?" "Request denied." "Move." "What?" "Are you going to do anything?" "It's like the ship is sinking here and..." "Nope." "Really?" "Because I told everyone that you were definitely going to do something." "You know what I'm going to do?" "I am going to keep working." "I'm gonna wait for it." "What's up, God?" "I hope you have a permit for this." "This is New York City, man." "Everything you see belongs to me." "I don't know why I asked you that." "I don't work here anymore." "Habit." "Washington Crossing the Delaware." "Not my favorite, but it's nice." "Hey, don't look yet." "I was gonna put you in the back of the boat, but now I'm putting you up front." "Thanks, man." "(CLINKS) Oh!" "Hey!" "What is that?" "A nail." "Construction site on the roof." "Helipad." "I'd forgotten." "You know what?" "Nails fall from the sky, don't look up." "Come on, let's go." "HR." "Be careful, God." "Can I get you anything?" "No, I'm all right." "Don't run." "Are you crazy?" "I'm scurrying." "Tosha, we've got to get you upstairs." "You have a subarachnoid hemorrhage." "I don't want to alarm you, but I'd like to move you faster than the hemorrhage." "Are you sure it's not a migraine?" "It's been a terrible week." "Yes, well, I promise you the week will get worse unless we get you upstairs immediately." "OR is ready in 10." "You're gonna be fine." "(CELL PHONE RINGING)" "Oh, God, it's my dad." "I'm sorry." "We don't allow phone calls back here, honey." "Please, he's not used to being alone." "I'll be quick." "Go ahead." "Take the call." "Hi, Daddy." "Wait, slow down." "She just lost her mom." "Her dad's on the phone." "She's going into surgery." "Nobody's trying to piss you off." "If she needs anything, let me know." "What?" "Just, Dad..." "Dad..." "Hold on and I'll be right there." "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa." "Can you take this out?" "I have to leave." "No, you can't leave." "No, he fell on a walk and he didn't even call me." "Now he's at Bellevue and he wants me to pick him up and take him home." "Can you have someone take me over there?" "You are being admitted for surgery." "No, it's just 10 blocks away." "There's nobody else who can get him?" "No, he can't be by himself." "They were married for 40 years and now he's all alone in a hospital." "I can't..." "I can't..." "All right, let me see what I can do." "(CLEARS THROAT)" "Her dad just got released from Bellevue." "There is no one to pick him up." "Can we send somebody over?" "We're not social services." "She's going up to surgery." "You asked me to tell you if she needed anything." "Look, she's your patient, not her father." "You're either on the floor or you're gone." "Take your pick." "Never mind." "They just took her up." "Her dad's name is Morris." "She gave me her phone, so I have a picture." "I can't leave." "No, don't look at me like I just dropped your dreams on the floor." "You know what he looks like." "You know where he is." "You want things to be different, you handle it." "Like you're me." "I think I was too honest." "See?" "And I think I wasn't honest enough." "These Quantum Bay guys, they know what they're doing." "I've never seen a cute girl in HR." "Then all of a sudden, I'm at my exit interview," "I'm talking to Jessica fucking Rabbit." "You want to look at your severance check?" "Do you?" "(LAUGHS)" "Oh, my God!" "You guys got to get fired." "Oh, goddamn it." "Now I'm sad." "You ready?" "Not yet." "(MOANING)" "What's wrong?" "Are you in labor?" "No, I just need a moment to myself." "Oh." "Me, too." "(EXHALES)" "It's horrible out there." "Oh, yep." "Ekebwe and Cruz got it covered." "Oh." "You know, you haven't told me the name of the baby." "I know." "I'm worried that if I do and you love it, then I shall start to hate it." "What if I keep my face neutral?" "Oh, my God!" "Who went to Camp Tonka Bear?" "I went there." "What cabin is this?" "I loved this place." "Lake Minnewasha and all the canoes." "What year is this?" "Maybe I know." "No!" "I don't want to know if you know someone there." "It's anonymous." "No, it's not." "Camp is where you can be the person you can't be at school." "No, my donor is anonymous." "(GASPS)" "You have a donor!" "And he went to my camp!" "♪ We're here at Tonka Bear The camp of our dreams" "♪ Where the water just ripples And sparkles and gleams ♪" "Just out!" "(PAGER BUZZES)" "You want me to take that so you can rest?" "No." "Please don't be a gent." "It's really disorienting." "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa." "Where are you going?" "The Quantum Bay guys are in town." "So who am I supposed to talk to about getting half a dozen temp nurses in here to help out?" "We're not there yet." "Look around." "We've been there for an hour." "Mike Cruz." "We got to shut down the roof." "There's a reason this place never had a helipad." "What's the problem?" "I mean, besides your hand." "This isn't that bad, but we're getting surges up there left and right." "Nail gun goes off, no one's holding it." "Look, the wiring is a mess." "All my guys are getting burned." "The electrical is probably from the 1800s." "Not true." "Everything passed inspection." "I'm so sorry about the hallway." "There are no bays." "We're going to get an X-ray, make sure it didn't pierce the bone." "(CHUCKLES) "Pierce the bone."" "Oh!" "I'm gonna get security to rope it off." "No roof access." "So, shut it down?" "Yeah." "Fuck." "Shut it down for now." "God damn it." "Sorry about your hand." "Don't fuck it up." "Hey, whoa, whoa, wait." "Your boss is a real dick smack." "Oh, we know." "Hey, you can take that guy, right?" "Any day of the week." "What are you, 6'3"?" "6'4"." "Whoa, big nurse." "Yeah." "6'5" in boots." "Uh-oh." "(LAUGHS)" "Hey, hey, hey." "You can't do that here." "Hey, walk around." "Hey, God." "You know this guy?" "What?" "Yes, that's God." "Well, move him or I'm gonna have him moved." "He's blocking my entrance." "Okay, listen to me." "We're not..." "Oh." "Hey, get your stuff." "Come with me." "Wow, is that Gloria?" "Mmm." "We're going up?" "We are." "All right, how's this for a canvas?" "I can work with this." "Just be careful." "Thank you." "Don't touch anything." "Just draw." "And I'm sorry you had to start again." "I made the world in six days." "No big deal." "(HORN BLARING)" "Could be." "Morris?" "Yes." "Hi, I'm here to bring you to your daughter Tosha." "Is she all right?" "She's fine." "She's, um..." "I sprained my knee." "Sorry I'm a slowpoke." "Should we get in a cab?" "No." "I never take taxis." "Never." "Terrible drivers." "Terrible." "Uh." "I'm fine." "Wow, you are a bad liar." "Oh, honey, I'm so sorry." "It was a meticulous search." "Journalist, mountain climber, Peace Corps, 6-foot-tall, green eyes, athletic." "Fantastic essay." "He went to the same camp as Coop." "Okay, so who are we talking about?" "My donor." "Coop went to my donor's camp." "He knows a song about gleaming lakes." "That's not so bad." "Of course it is." "I went to enormous lengths not to know who the donor is." "And now he went to the same camp, Jackie." "Well, was he there at the same time?" "No." "But what if he connects the dots?" "Oh, please." "He's got much better things to do with his time than..." "I need to be in charge of my own dots." "(SOBS) And I feel fat." "And my back hurts." "And I just want to be holding my baby on the outside." "See, this is exactly what I wanted to talk to you about." "Hey, Jackie." "I'm tired of being depressed." "So I was thinking." "What is that?" "A bag of candles, but I changed my mind." "Oh, God." "I was thinking we could do a candlelight vigil, kind of get everyone together." "But then you see it on the news and it's so depressing." "So then I thought, lemons into lemonade." "Drum roll, please." "Baby shower." "No." "You could have it at my house." "Don't encourage him." "We get everyone together, you open up presents." "Little baby outfits." "Tiny baby pants." "They'll cheer people up." "How can you not smile at tiny baby pants?" "Anyway, think about it." "I've got to get back out there." "Me, too." "Lemons, lemonade." "It's nice." "I wonder if he learned that at camp." "The crosstown traffic's a bitch." "(LAUGHS) Shouldn't be more than 10 minutes late." "Make that 20." "I'm getting out here." "And then some days it's not exciting at all." "How are you doing, Morris?" "Pretty damn good." "Hey, hey, hey, hey!" "What the hell's going on?" "Oh, no." "Don't worry." "He's not from our hospital." "He's from another hospital." "What?" "They released him." "I just met him on the street." "Yeah, you tried pushing one of these?" "It's insane." "So where are we going?" "Hit the road, dress shirt." "You don't want to see this." "Oh, Jesus." "Are we getting anybody upstairs?" "I've got to go eat." "Five minutes." "Three, please." "I know, we've got to try to clear that hallway." "It's like I'm hosting the worst cocktail party ever." "Who wants juice?" "You sent her to another hospital to pick up a patient and then push him in the street?" "That wasn't the plan." "I didn't even have a plan." "Zoey, stop talking." "Look, what is she supposed to do?" "Leave the guy on the curb?" "He just lost his wife." "His daughter's going up for brain surgery." "Please, please let her do her job." "Hey, look, if the last 24 hours have demonstrated anything," "I think it would be that I'm not afraid to cut you loose." "That goes for all of you." "Mutiny at your own risk." "Are you okay?" "You're wheezing." "It's a panic attack." "It's asthma." "I want a chair, a nebulizer, and some levalbuterol now." "I'm gonna sit right here, and keep my eye on all of you." "THOR:" "I'll get it." "(GASPS)" "Don't fucking help me." "(WHEEZING)" "Okay, I know you've been waiting a long time, everybody." "I'm sorry." "We will get to everybody." "You know what?" "I don't want to talk to you." "I want to talk to your boss." "Actually, you can." "He's sitting right back here." "Bay Number 5." "His name is Mike." "What the fuck?" "Why'd she get to go inside?" "She wanted to talk to my boss." "I've been here for six hours." "I'll fucking talk to your boss." "Okay, be my guest, sir." "His name is Mike Cruz." "He's the guy trying to catch his breath down here," "Bay Number 5." "Make a left." "Anybody else?" "I understand your frustration." "Look at you, sitting there, getting some relief." "Must be nice." "Peyton, a little help over here." "You don't need my help." "Look, I need you all to wait in the other room, please." "We'll wait right here." "Keep breathing, asshole." "You want him there?" "I want him gone." "How's the pulse ox?" "It's 95, give or take." "We've got to get you up to pulmonary." "You know I'm right." "Look, I'm feeling light-headed." "I don't want to be wheeled out of here." "(WHEEZES)" "Thor!" "Will you escort Dr. Cruz up to pulmonary?" "And if he faints, will you please carry him?" "You know I will." "Get out of here." "See?" "You like me." "Bays are full." "Let's start doubling up." "Let's get some of these gurneys out of the hallway." "Also, no more pillows and we're almost out of bedding." "Called housekeeping twice." "Let's just keep moving." "Don't you die on me, man." "Not today." "SAM:" "I'm trying to confirm coverage here." "All right." "Give it five seconds, then bail." "Five, four, three, two, one." "Oop, you tried." "Dude!" "Go around." "See who needs what." "Where the hell did you go?" "Cruz, pulmonary." "FYI, heart rate through the roof." "(GROANS)" "Christ, they're loud." "People on gurneys are admits." "Didn't anyone call upstairs?" "Nobody's answering the phone." "Fine." "We'll take them up ourselves." "I'm out of here in 15." "The hell you are." "Start moving gurneys." "What do you need?" "You can jump in." "I mean it, he's not here." "Someone in that corner threw up." "Thor." "On it." "Excuse me." "I've been here since 3:00." "When am I gonna see a doctor?" "What?" "My girlfriend has been waiting for her test results for six hours." "Mmm-hmm, I'm gonna stand here until you get them." "I don't have a job, so I can do it all day." "Sir, stop staring at me." "We're working as fast as we can." "No, we're not." "It's nowhere near as fast as we can." "Gloria, what do you say we show them how we used to do this?" "Some of those were mine." "They were not." "The patients are yours, the charts are not." "Take care of the patients." "Start by calling the agency." "I want six nurses, one in admitting, five on the floor." "Cruz won't authorize that." "Just do it." "I will take the hit." "Really?" "Six?" "You know what?" "Seven." "Make it seven." "Let's give these bastards some relief." "Who the fuck is in charge of this place?" "I am." "I'm in charge."
