TV-Serie: ER - 15x16
Chase me!
One more touchdown, then we get ice cream.
Booker and banfield - that's all the Bears are going to need this year.
We should ride in together, unless someone might see us.
Being covert is more exciting, isn't it?
We've broken up.
We're working together.
It's weird.
We said we weren't going to screw up our schedules.
You know, some awkwardness while we're finding our bearings is, uh...
Weird.
I should have never let you and Sarah go out that night.
No, you were being cool.
We may have to put you on the transplant list.
-So, Joanie's not her mother, and Lucy has no idea?
I'm in big trouble.
Only five hours in and it's safe to say...
best Valentine's day ever.
I got to go.
I have to check yesterday's paperwork.
I thought my hours were tough.
It's 5.00 a.m.
I'm a rookie detective.
They're looking for reasons not to like me.
I think what you're doing to me is tantamount to police brutality.
Where did you hear that line?
Some Dirty Harry movie?
No, I think it was a porno.
One of the feminist ones, though.
Oh, right.
Yeah, I bet.
So, what can I do to sweeten your day?
Hmm...
Candy hearts.
What?
You know those little candy hearts with stuff written on them?
Get me some.
I've never had them.
Are you crazy?
Everybody gets those.
Not me.
No-one's ever given you a necco?
No.
Forget it.
You're nuts.
I got to go.
Then go.
Then stop.
You stop first.
Oh, detective Diaz!
He bought me a plastic tiara and took me to Hampton court.
Said I deserved to be treated like a queen.
Well, he got that right.
We were 15.
Oh...
What happened to him?
I heard he runs the Bombay Brasserie in Leicester.
Has three little kids and hands that smell of dalchini.
It's not such a bad life.
What about you?
Me?
There was...
there was one time, when, um...
this girl and I went to Bali, Some...
some surfing and some diving.
It was nice.
Bali...
Bali was nice.
I like it there.
What about the girl?
Yeah, she was nice, too.
Right.
You probably don't even remember her name, do you?
No, uh, her name was Nicole.
It's Nicole.
-I was thinking, maybe we...
Maybe we should go away sometime.
Well, maybe in a month or so.
Where?
I'll tell you later.
Alex, honey, I'm sorry you didn't sleep, but you are not staying home from school.
I know.
It sucks.
We'll talk about it when I get home.
Bye.
Alex had a girlfriend for two whole days and she just dumped him tonight on the phone.
Wow.
Happy valentine's day.
I know.
I tried to tell him she's just a spoiled little princess and forget about it, but...
Forget about it?
weren't you ever 15?
What happened?
Some kind of brawl.
I'm Dr Morris.
Get this thing out of me.
How did you end up with a tire iron in your belly?
It was about this girl.
I've got a forearm fracture and a hefty lip lac.
Another one?
Some girl!
You take tire iron guy.
The rest go to triage.
I'll take this.
Teddy Lempel, 63, bronchospasm at a wedding.
Still going at 6.00 a.m.?
Pretty raucous wedding.
We were just getting started.
They wanted to be married at daybreak on Valentine's Day.
It's a midsummer night's dream themed wedding.
Teddy was officiating.
As Puck.
But you already guessed that.
Sats went up after a nasal cannula O2.
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
I'm fine.
It was just an allergy or something.
Don't listen to him.
Baby, you need a doctor.
Lovers and madmen have such seething brains.
First unit's up.
Ow, my stomach, man!
Do something, please.
Take it out.
Sorry, I can't do anything until the surgeons get here.
Just give him ten more morphine.
The first dose didn't seem to touch him.
I already did.
You already did what?
Gave him ten of morphine.
About two minutes ago.
Sam.
You can't just give meds without an order Oh, come on.
You were just about to ask me for it.
It's only morphine.
In the O.R., I don't even need an order.
Yeah, well, it's different down here.
it's my ass on the line.
Problem?
Systolic's down to 88, doctor.
What would you like me to do?
What would you like me to do?
Hang some more blood,Nurse Taggart, thank you.
Go sew up the lip lac.
I got this.
Come on, Archie...
Drop it, Sam.
We could try one more cycle.
We could.
You don't think it's a good idea.
$15,000, all those hormones, and only a very little chance of it working.
That's no reason to give up.
I want us to raise a child.
I'm not giving up on that.
I'm only saying it doesn't have to be through IVF.
So, you're back to adoption, then?
I don't understand why you're so against it.
I'm not against it.
I...
I just worry we wouldn't be able to love that child the same way.
That's not true.
It's such an unknown.
It scares me.
And a biological child, do we know how that will go?
Well, at least we'd have some idea where it came from.
What about an egg donor?
So, you would use a stranger's egg, but you won't adopt?
I can get an egg from someone who carries my genes.
Lara's in school at UC now.
You...want to use your niece's egg?
You don't think that's weird?
Mac three and an 80.
I'm gonna put a tube down your throat to help you to breathe.
No, man, I don't want that.
Do you want etomidate or ketamine?
I think ketamine might...
Etomidate, please.
You're not gonna feel any of this.
Dr Morris.
Hi.
What brings you guys around?
We're investigating the brawl at the night kitchen.
The what?
The club where the fight broke out.
> 2,000 kids got stuffed into this little warehouse.
Detective Trent Mallory, CPD.
Oh, uh, Claudia's been telling me about you.
Our little star.
Mind if we ask you a few questions?
Get the cops out, all right?
Sorry, guys.
200cc's out.
Dr Rasgotra, the trauma surgeon.
I don't need surgery, and I don't need cops asking me stuff, all right?
Etomidate's in.
Two units.
More lap pads.
And let the O.R.
know we're sending him up now!
Goodmorning!
Waiting on a rig?
No, a girl.
Oh, I see.
No - a little girl.
Her mom's a patient in the transplant service.
Hi, Simon.
That's my foster dad.
He said to call if I need him to take me to school.
Oh, you're gonna be missing school today.
Why?
I'm gonna let your mom tell you.
Lucy, this is Dr Banfield.
Hi.
Nice to meet you.
Good news, sweetie.
They found me a heart.
Really?
Really.
I knew they would.
I knew it.
Her heart's in Bloomington.
I'm gonna take a helicopter there as soon as they're ready.
Now, Lucy, your mom's gonna go and get some tests and then we're gonna take her to the operating room.
It's all happening today?
That's what they tell me.
It's the ER again, I've got to go.
Um, I'll come back as soon as I know anything.
Thank you.
Ten minutes?
Are you sure?
All right, then, there's a, uh, coffee shop we can meet at across the street.
Hey.
This is from my girlfriend.
Really?
yeah, we met last winter snowdog sledding; it's a crazy story.
Yeah, I'm sure it is.
I'll be back soon.
Jerry, is that for you?
Yeah, from Doris.
The Eskimo chick?
She's not an Eskimo.
Excuse me.
You OK?
Yeah, a patient freaked out.
Listen, about earlier...
I'm sorry if I was out of line.
I was a little dense.
It's just in the O.R., I have a different autonomy.
It's hard to turn it off.
-You don't have to shut it off.
Just let me know what you're doing first.
-Hey, you two.
Get a room!
You've overdosed on mushrooms.
Mushrooms?
Not that kind of mushrooms.
When are we gonna get out of here?
What kind of mushrooms?
This is Teddy Lempel, the premier mycologist in Chicago.
Best mushroom man four years running in Fungi Magazine.
I'm a chef, and anyone who's anyone knows no-one can hunt down wild mushrooms like Ted.
My gift...my curse.
All right, can we have some room here, please?
Quite an entourage.
I need to listen to your lungs.
This wedding is because of me, you could say, and now it might not happen because of me, which is quite a paradox.
Baby, baby, don't fret.
So, you're Cupid?
Oh, it's the basidiomycetes, really, some of which are known to produce a mating trigger in sows.
A sort of porcine pheromone.
I don't say I know that it works on humans, but a certain beverage was imbibed by Kevin and Nina the other night.
Their eyes met across a crowded kitchen, and voila, they were like Abelard, Tristan and Isolde, Pyramus and Thisbe.
Chest films are back.
Thank you.
I need to look at these with radiology.
Come with me.
Well, don't take too long.
Love is fleeting.
You'll need to come back later.
That's fine.
Oh, nice seeing you...again.
Here, you've been deprived.
Neela.
Special delivery.
You know, I'm waiting on a call from chopper transport.
I'll be in the break room.
What's this all about?
Hmm?
Oh, it's from Doris.
Oh, the Malamute breeder?
I told you about her?
Lucky guess.
# Take my hand Come with me # Into this crystal scenery # And wait till I retain the ticket # You would never have the time # I would love to change your mind # You were there And it was good in the beginning # Over here, see the lights # Arranging twilight sages # Commence to reveal it to the others # But you would never have the time # I would love to change your mind # You were there And it was good in the beginning # You were there We were good in the beginning # Oh, oh, oh-oh # Oooh-oooh-oooh # Take my hand and come with me # Into this crystal village # And see the lights so philosphied in brightness # Cos you would never have the time # And I would love to change your mind # You were there And it was good in the beginning # Oooh-oooh-oooh...
# Can you redress my ankle in three and make sure that my NPO girl is still NPO?
I got it.
Excuse me.
Hey, Grady, I got your STD buddhist to take the penicillin.
Thank God.
Hi, is Dr Morris around?
Are you a family member?
I'm John Carter.
Uh-huh?
Used to work here.
Oh.
As what?
Can you find him?
Can you find Dr Morris?
He's around somewhere.
Carter?
You the one that got that nurse pregnant and moved to Seattle?
No, that was somebody else.
Sorry, my mistake.
Elixir of love - my Valentine's Day gift to the daring among you.
It looks fecal.
It works.
Love potion?
Puck had a magical mixture made from a flower called "love-in-idleness" and I've got my mushroom juice.
Didn't that make Titania fall in love with an ass?
We're all asses, aren't we?
It was a mistake.
That's what the play's about.
It's about mistakes.
Perhaps...
but without the mistake there'd be no play, would there?
So, what now?
Are you done with me?
Well, we found some abnormal nodules that are concerning.
Concerning?
Did you consult a pulmonologist?
Yeah.
Did you order bronchoscopy?
What's that?
They look into your lungs...
Thanks, I got this.
We can biopsy the nodules and see what we're dealing with.
20-year-old, heart rate in the '60s, unconscious in the rig.
Morris is down the hall.
Hey, Zades!
Finally, a familiar face.
Dr Carter, how the hell you been?
Not too bad.
How about you?
Same old same old.
What happened?
We were taking a statement on the brawl.
How long you in town for?
Uh, it all depends.
On what?
A bunch of stuff, actually.
I want to do it.
I appreciate that.
I do.
but you need to think it through.
You've explained it all to me.
It's not like giving blood.
It's your egg.
You really should be...
Aunt Cate, you remember when I was 15, and I ran off with that guy?
The 25-year-old bartender.
And I called you from that restaurant.
Uh, it was a bar.
My parents had no idea.
You were the only adults I could talk to.
You saved me.
I remember driving out there.
Bringing you home.
Cleaning you up.
Getting you into bed.
That week I spent with you, sleeping in Daryl's room.
He must have been about three.
I was so sad then...
..and he was so sweet to me.
I would do anything for you.
We brought him in as a witness.
Flexes with painful stim, but that's about it.
It was only later he told us he got punched in the face.
Tracy, what's the GCS?
1-1-3, a five.
So what now?
Tube.
Good.
Do it.
Archie Morris, all grown up.
No way!
What are you doing here?
I'm gonna be in chicago for a while.
That's great!
Pushing it now.
I was thinking about some shifts.
You're kidding.
That'd be awesome.
This guy is a legend.
We kind of met outside.
Might get better alignment with a shoulder roll.
Who should I talk to?
That would be Catherine Banfield, our chief.
I can see the cords.
Then go for it.
You followed my advice, Archie.
How's that?
You set the tone.
I'm off to Bloomington.
They're about to cross-clamp the donor's aorta.
Joanie in surgery yet?
No, but she should be heading to the O.R.
any minute.
I'll try and catch her before she goes up.
What are you looking for?
Scopolomine patches.
Helicopters make me airsick.
Really?
Mm-hmm.
You never told me that.
Well, planes are fine, but helicopters are so jiggly.
Well, that is good to know.
Tell me...
how do you feel about boats?
What?
Have a safe flight.
Hyperventilate at a rate of 26.
CT can take him now.
All right, let's move.
Left my backboard.
Hey, Zades, you sure you got the story right on this guy?
Yeah, why?
He's in pretty bad shape.
Not your average punch in the face.
Cops took a report.
People saw it happen.
Good enough for me.
Maybe he hit his head on something on the way down.
Maybe.
How's he doing?
Not great.
We had to put a tube in to breathe for him.
Oh, no.
You know, he seems a lot sicker than he should be from one hit.
Something's not right here.
It seems like our uniformed guy got a little mixed up.
It happened at the station house.
It did?
They brought the guy in for questioning.
My guys weren't watching him.
How so?
There was a drunk thug from Garfield in the holding cell with him.
It turned ugly.
I see.
It's our fault.
We should've had better control of the situation.
Well, thanks for the update.
I'm going to get you something to make your tummy feel better.
I'm telling you - drink the juice.
Everybody is.
Thanks, but to be honest, this really doesn't look...
potable.
Dr Carter!
Hey, Sam.
How are you?
Good.
You should probably be back in bed.
Why?
That's for sick people.
When did you get here?
Back a little while ago.
It's like bizarro E.R.
Kind of the same, but every single thing is different.
Well, one thing never changes - the patients.
Dr Carter!
Hello.
Wow.
Welcome back.
Hey, how are you?
I didn't even see you come in.
-I kind of snuck in.
Hey, how's Kem?
She's great.
She's in Paris with her mom.
Oh, well, how long are you in town?
That, uh, is still kind of up in the air.
I'm still waiting on that file, Jerry.
Sam, our migraine lady's been parked in this hallway since Tuesday.
Mary, shouldn't you be, uh, leaning against a wall somewhere, smoking?
Dr Banfield?
Meet John carter.
Hello.
I've heard about you.
All good, I hope.
I would love a couple minutes of your time.
Pump-flow failed in Radiology.
BP took a dive.
This mom?
Neela's gone to pick up the heart.
Uh, sorry, Jim, you'll have to catch me later.
It's...John.
Good, you guys are still here.
Is he OK?
What'd the scan show?
You see these areas here?
Multiple cerebral contusions and generalized brain edema.
Is that really bad?
Yeah.
And we're a little confused.
What's that?
Well, the only way to get this is from multiple blows to the head.
From different directions, probably from a blunt object.
You can tell that from an X-ray?
This picture doesn't match the history that I'm getting.
Dr Morris...
It wouldn't be the first time this has happened.
What are you suggesting?
That whoever is telling you this story is lying.
The thing is, Dr Morris, I'm the one telling you the story.
No, you don't understand.
Our patient is herniating.
Yes, as soon as you can.
Thank you.
Neurosurge is in the O.R.
Yeah, what else is new?
In another hospital.
What?
This guy just gave me an earful about the national shortage of neurosurgeons.
They've started double-covering the Chicago hospitals.
Is that even legal?
Pulse down to 44.
Did he say how long he'd be?
A couple of hours, at least.
You're kidding.
He's going to die if we wait that long.
I know that!
But we don't have a surgeon All right, so, let's do it.
No, no, no.
We can't.
We don't have the training...
Who cares?
What are you gonna do?
Just stand here and let the guy herniate and die?
Sterile eights, a bovie, and a ventriculostomy tray.
Whoa, whoa!
Are we gonna do a ventriculostomy here?
It's his only chance.
I'll go get the twist drill.
The projections's only 18%.
L-vad's malfunctioning.
What does that mean?
the device pumping the blood isn't working.
Stealing your twist drill.
Sats only 84.
Another 80 of lasix.
Why won't it work?
Don't you think the girl should wait outside?
She can handle this.
Fix it!
Can you fix it?
Lucy, come here.
Come here.
Look at me.
I'm OK.
You don't have to worry.
Systolic 49.
Mom.
Joanie, we need to intubate.
Guys, I found this in the ICU.
What is it?
in the event of an electrical failure, the L-vad is designed to use a hand pump.
How do you know it's an electrical failure?
I don't.
But it's worth a shot.
Good carotid.
Pulse ox is coming up.
I think this might hold us till we get to the O.R.
You got it.
How long do you have to keep squeezing that thing?
Until she gets her new heart.
Which is gonna be any minute.
BP's 190/118.
And...
What are you doing?
I'm through to the white matter.
Just drilling into the brain.
Good luck with that.
Catheter.
Aim it toward the medial canthus...
Of the opposite eye, I know.
Everybody start praying.
How do you know you're not gonna hit a blood vessel?
I don't.
Or the pituitary?
I'm nowhere near it.
I don't think.
Does a brain feel more like jello or like butter?
Tracy, shut up.
I'm sorry.
I'm just nervous.
Oh, my God.
Believe I am in.
> Is that CSF?
Yep, decompressed the ventricles.
Keep the ICP around 15.
Heart's up to 58 and climbing.
Tell ICU to make room.
Assertive...
I like it.
Nice job, Archie.
You all right, man?
Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
Hey, Jerry, is Frank coming in today?
Uh, only if I call in sick.
No, he's not on till next week.
Some family thing in Cleveland.
Love is in the air.
Did somebody actually drink that?
Oh, that chocolate soda?
Pretty skunky.
No.
The bogus fungus water.
What?
Are you sure you're OK?
Yeah, all good.
Gonna wait for Dr Banfield in the lounge.
Mm-hmm.
John.
Can I just tell you you look great in those jeans?
Thanks.
I know it feels like the end of the world today, but you will fall for someone else tomorrow.
Where did you learn that?
parenting 101?
Sorry.
I can wait someplace else.
No, no, no.
Actually, you saved me.
I'm gonna go get something from the jumbo mart.
Alex...
There's another thing that's different.
He got a foot taller.
I know.
And he's under the influence of a bunch of fun hormones.
Well, don't let him drink whatever Jerry's drinking.
Forget it.
So, Sam...what did you hear from Abby and Luka?
She e-mailed me.
Sounds like it's, uh, going great.
Great for them.
Sam, can you check the status of the transport team?
I want to know the minute they get here.
Yep.
Thank you.
Good to see you.
Good to see you.
So, you're a popular guy.
Worked here a long time.
Been away a long time.
But I am gonna be in chicago sort of indefinitely, and I was hoping to keep my skills up and maybe help you out a little.
Help us out?
Pick up a few shifts.
You don't have to pay me.
I work for food.
So, you were an attending here?
Yeah.
And what have you been doing?
Working in Africa.
Darfur mostly.
I spent some time in Indonesia after the tsunami.
Really?
So, now you're ready to come back to the real world?
Well, that felt pretty real to me out there but you could say that.
Having done the same thing, I know there's a lot of relearning required, and if you're not fully invested in it...
I don't know how many shifts I can pick up, but I do know procedures, and the patients and I know quite a bit of your personnel.
And I know not to use the snack machine on 3, and how to get to the clinic without going outside in winter, and the bottom right-hand drawer of the desk sticks unless you brace it with the bottom of your foot.
I wasted a lot of money in that snack machine.
Not any more.
So, tell me, when did you first work here?
I was a med student in the E.R.
in 1994.
You knew Mark Greene.
Yeah.
I knew Mark Greene.
Yep.
Learned a lot from him.
When can you start?
Is he gonna be all right?
No.
But what you guys did down there...
Well, we probably saved his life, but there's no way to know if he'll ever wake up, or understand anything.
I can tell you know.
Know what?
Don't do that.
I can tell when something is bothering you.
It was like I froze.
I didn't know what to do.
When?
What happened?
They took this guy into interrogation.
I stayed at the desk filling out some forms.
I go back...
There's three of them tuning him up pretty good.
Three cops?
I see them through the window, so what do I do?
Tell them to give it a break?
Get somebody else involved?
No.
I walk away, come back ten minutes later.
By then, he's crying for help.
Eventually, they let me call 911.
Did you tell Detective Mallory?
I didn't have to - he was in there with them.
You can't just bury this.
What am I supposed to do?
I am the new guy.
I follow orders.
Claudia...
I wouldn't even be there if he hadn't backed me up.
You don't get it, Archie.
No, I think I do.
These things happen sometimes.
I just gotta deal with it.
-You mean ignore it.
There's a code on the job.
You don't turn on one of your own.
That's something you never come back from.
There are about 20 surgeons in the room, all picking up organs.
Dr Robbins steps up, takes a scalpel...
Dr Robbins?
The transplant attending.
She whips out the heart like it's no big deal, and then says to the room, "Looks good.
Thanks."
30 seconds later, we're back up in the air like a band of superheroes.
Well, you kind of are.
I don't know if I could do transplant surgeries full-time, but there's a rush.
Robbins wants your butt in here.
OK, coming.
You off shift now?
Yeah, uh, but I'll wait with Lucy until you're done.
Adson with teeth.
Dr Rasgotra, you're missing all the fun.
Sorry...
SVC, IVC are done.
Saved the aorta for you.
Wow!
Are you sure?
My eight-year-old could do it.
Cut the great vessels as close to the heart as you can.
That way, we have tissue to work with.
OK.
Scissors.
Ready?
Less talk, more action.
The aorta is...divided.
Take it out.
The heart?
No, the kidney.
Yes, doctor, the big, dead organ you just disconnected.
It's Bloomington.
They want to talk to a doctor.
Say it's going fine.
Pick it up with the clamp...
They need to speak with you.
Voila.
We need to stop the transplant.
There's been a mistake.
Go ahead and discharge, but make sure you do phone follow-up.
All right, got to go.
Thanks.
Lucy.
Are you done?
No.
Is the new heart in yet?
What's going on?
I, um...Do you know what a blood type is?
Sort of.
Your mom is a type O, which means she can only get a heart from another O.
There was a mistake at the hospital.
The donor's blood type was mislabeled.
She's an A.
If we had put that heart in your mom, she would have died.
Fortunately, they found out before it was too late.
Your mom will get a new heart, Lucy.
So, what now?
We reimplant the L-vad, and then we wait?
The thing is we didn't learn of the mistake until we had taken out the old heart.
Your mom is on a cardiac bypass machine.
She needs to stay on it until we find her a new heart.
She can't talk?
No, but she'll know you're there.
Any changes?
Well, his intracranial pressure's still spiking.
It's not a good sign.
As I'm sure you're both aware, I'm required by law to report this.
Report what?
Well, whenever the history doesn't match the physical injury we need to follow certain protocols.
You know the drill.
I don't think I do.
I've sent the scalp lavage fluid to the lab where they'll look for substances, fibers to help fill in the blanks.
You know, standard procedure.
I see.
And of course I'll need to notify the state authorities, start an official investigation.
What do you think you're doing, doctor?
My job.
You see that game last night?
The bulls were really, uh, shooting from outside the paint.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Me neither, basketball banter.
Just trying to approximate guy talk.
Well, thanks for trying.
Women.
Can't live with 'em.
Can't shoot 'em.
Look, I've learned one thing.
Get your heart stomped on, it's best to take all that energy and channel it into something positive.
Hi, Lucy.
Your foster dad's not here yet?
It's OK.
I want to say good night to my mom before I go.
Well, she should be settled upstairs soon.
I always knew she wasn't my mom.
I found a picture of another lady in a hospital bed, holding me when I was a baby, so I figured it out.
You're a very smart little girl.
It never bothered me.
Because she always loved me so much, and made me feel so happy.
And I knew that that's what a real mother did, even if she's not your real mom.
Mr Lempel, what are you doing?
If we hold the ceremony in the next hour, we'll beat sunset.
You can't leave now.
Why, am I dying?
No, you're not dying.
Fantastic.
Stupendous.
All the more reason to start celebrating.
You have a hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
It's an immune reaction to fungal spores.
Mushroom worker's lung.
You've heard of it?
Pleurotus cornucopiae is a likely culprit, I knew it was just a matter of time.
Gentleman, lady, thank you very much.
This place is...nowhere near as bad as its reputation.
Wait, you need to be treated.
Nah.
What do you mean, "nah"?
Well, I don't know why you need me to tell you this, but the only definitive treatment is to stay away from mushrooms.
And that, my friends, is not an option.
You'd rather have lung disease than stay away from mushrooms?
If mushrooms be the food of love...play on.
If we shadows have offended, say but this and all is mended.
What was that?
Sorry?
Why'd you pull that stunt up there?
To see that the right thing happens.
I was gonna handle it my own way.
Well, it didn't seem like that.
What?
Now you want to judge me?
I'm trying to help.
Well, stop!
Last thing I need is them knowing I opened up my mouth.
Just the two I was looking for.
Dr Morris, it turns out, there was an incident that some of the guys didn't feel they wanted to be upfront about.
It's being dealt with now.
Dealt with?
Mm-hmm.
The officers will be disciplined, maybe even prosecuted.
We can't abide that kind of infraction.
Can we, Detective Diaz?
No, sir.
I appreciate your help.
We'll get you a report so that your records can accurately reflect the cause of injury.
OK.
Thank you.
So, you got any shifts you want me to work?
Banfield said yes?
Took a little persuading.
Ah, she's no pushover.
I'll be around.
That's great, man.
Thanks for showing me how to tube the effusion.
Oh, no problem.
Check a film in an hour, and call me if the fluid reaccumulates.
Grasshopper, the student has become the teacher.
I heard you were lurking about.
How have you been?
Oh, I've had better days.
I hear the Carter Center is finally opening.
Official opening in a few weeks.
You and Kem must be so proud.
Yeah.
I'll be around.
I'll buy you a cup of coffee and tell you tales of Africa.
I look forward to hearing them.
From Dr Brenner.
John!
John!
Call me!
# No, you don't remember the town where you were born # Cos you never No, no, never # Opened up the doors # In a dream that you were dreaming # Well, I hope you know for sure # It's the town you don't remember # The town where you were born # Well, you wiped out all your footsteps # And you wiped out all your foes # For the comfort and the safety # That comes when you're alone # It's the town you don't remember # The town where you were born # It's the town that you are leaving # The town where you belong # Heaven knows the reason Heaven knows for sure.
# Uh, what the hell are you doing?
It's freezing out here!
Buono sera, mio dolce cretina.
No, uh...
I'm sorry.
I think I just called you a sweet idiot.
Simon, what are we doing here?
This is the closest that we've got to a canal for now, but I am determined...
to do better.
What's this?
Well, that's an IOU.
We take a week off in April and spring, as you know, is the perfect time to visit Venice.
You want to go to Venice?
Yeah.
With you.
Grappa?
OK.
All right, I think this qualifies as a romantic gesture.
This...
No, this is nothing.
This is just the beginning.
One more touchdown, then we get ice cream.
Booker and banfield - that's all the Bears are going to need this year.
We should ride in together, unless someone might see us.
Being covert is more exciting, isn't it?
We've broken up.
We're working together.
It's weird.
We said we weren't going to screw up our schedules.
You know, some awkwardness while we're finding our bearings is, uh...
Weird.
I should have never let you and Sarah go out that night.
No, you were being cool.
We may have to put you on the transplant list.
-So, Joanie's not her mother, and Lucy has no idea?
I'm in big trouble.
Only five hours in and it's safe to say...
best Valentine's day ever.
I got to go.
I have to check yesterday's paperwork.
I thought my hours were tough.
It's 5.00 a.m.
I'm a rookie detective.
They're looking for reasons not to like me.
I think what you're doing to me is tantamount to police brutality.
Where did you hear that line?
Some Dirty Harry movie?
No, I think it was a porno.
One of the feminist ones, though.
Oh, right.
Yeah, I bet.
So, what can I do to sweeten your day?
Hmm...
Candy hearts.
What?
You know those little candy hearts with stuff written on them?
Get me some.
I've never had them.
Are you crazy?
Everybody gets those.
Not me.
No-one's ever given you a necco?
No.
Forget it.
You're nuts.
I got to go.
Then go.
Then stop.
You stop first.
Oh, detective Diaz!
He bought me a plastic tiara and took me to Hampton court.
Said I deserved to be treated like a queen.
Well, he got that right.
We were 15.
Oh...
What happened to him?
I heard he runs the Bombay Brasserie in Leicester.
Has three little kids and hands that smell of dalchini.
It's not such a bad life.
What about you?
Me?
There was...
there was one time, when, um...
this girl and I went to Bali, Some...
some surfing and some diving.
It was nice.
Bali...
Bali was nice.
I like it there.
What about the girl?
Yeah, she was nice, too.
Right.
You probably don't even remember her name, do you?
No, uh, her name was Nicole.
It's Nicole.
-I was thinking, maybe we...
Maybe we should go away sometime.
Well, maybe in a month or so.
Where?
I'll tell you later.
Alex, honey, I'm sorry you didn't sleep, but you are not staying home from school.
I know.
It sucks.
We'll talk about it when I get home.
Bye.
Alex had a girlfriend for two whole days and she just dumped him tonight on the phone.
Wow.
Happy valentine's day.
I know.
I tried to tell him she's just a spoiled little princess and forget about it, but...
Forget about it?
weren't you ever 15?
What happened?
Some kind of brawl.
I'm Dr Morris.
Get this thing out of me.
How did you end up with a tire iron in your belly?
It was about this girl.
I've got a forearm fracture and a hefty lip lac.
Another one?
Some girl!
You take tire iron guy.
The rest go to triage.
I'll take this.
Teddy Lempel, 63, bronchospasm at a wedding.
Still going at 6.00 a.m.?
Pretty raucous wedding.
We were just getting started.
They wanted to be married at daybreak on Valentine's Day.
It's a midsummer night's dream themed wedding.
Teddy was officiating.
As Puck.
But you already guessed that.
Sats went up after a nasal cannula O2.
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
I'm fine.
It was just an allergy or something.
Don't listen to him.
Baby, you need a doctor.
Lovers and madmen have such seething brains.
First unit's up.
Ow, my stomach, man!
Do something, please.
Take it out.
Sorry, I can't do anything until the surgeons get here.
Just give him ten more morphine.
The first dose didn't seem to touch him.
I already did.
You already did what?
Gave him ten of morphine.
About two minutes ago.
Sam.
You can't just give meds without an order Oh, come on.
You were just about to ask me for it.
It's only morphine.
In the O.R., I don't even need an order.
Yeah, well, it's different down here.
it's my ass on the line.
Problem?
Systolic's down to 88, doctor.
What would you like me to do?
What would you like me to do?
Hang some more blood,Nurse Taggart, thank you.
Go sew up the lip lac.
I got this.
Come on, Archie...
Drop it, Sam.
We could try one more cycle.
We could.
You don't think it's a good idea.
$15,000, all those hormones, and only a very little chance of it working.
That's no reason to give up.
I want us to raise a child.
I'm not giving up on that.
I'm only saying it doesn't have to be through IVF.
So, you're back to adoption, then?
I don't understand why you're so against it.
I'm not against it.
I...
I just worry we wouldn't be able to love that child the same way.
That's not true.
It's such an unknown.
It scares me.
And a biological child, do we know how that will go?
Well, at least we'd have some idea where it came from.
What about an egg donor?
So, you would use a stranger's egg, but you won't adopt?
I can get an egg from someone who carries my genes.
Lara's in school at UC now.
You...want to use your niece's egg?
You don't think that's weird?
Mac three and an 80.
I'm gonna put a tube down your throat to help you to breathe.
No, man, I don't want that.
Do you want etomidate or ketamine?
I think ketamine might...
Etomidate, please.
You're not gonna feel any of this.
Dr Morris.
Hi.
What brings you guys around?
We're investigating the brawl at the night kitchen.
The what?
The club where the fight broke out.
> 2,000 kids got stuffed into this little warehouse.
Detective Trent Mallory, CPD.
Oh, uh, Claudia's been telling me about you.
Our little star.
Mind if we ask you a few questions?
Get the cops out, all right?
Sorry, guys.
200cc's out.
Dr Rasgotra, the trauma surgeon.
I don't need surgery, and I don't need cops asking me stuff, all right?
Etomidate's in.
Two units.
More lap pads.
And let the O.R.
know we're sending him up now!
Goodmorning!
Waiting on a rig?
No, a girl.
Oh, I see.
No - a little girl.
Her mom's a patient in the transplant service.
Hi, Simon.
That's my foster dad.
He said to call if I need him to take me to school.
Oh, you're gonna be missing school today.
Why?
I'm gonna let your mom tell you.
Lucy, this is Dr Banfield.
Hi.
Nice to meet you.
Good news, sweetie.
They found me a heart.
Really?
Really.
I knew they would.
I knew it.
Her heart's in Bloomington.
I'm gonna take a helicopter there as soon as they're ready.
Now, Lucy, your mom's gonna go and get some tests and then we're gonna take her to the operating room.
It's all happening today?
That's what they tell me.
It's the ER again, I've got to go.
Um, I'll come back as soon as I know anything.
Thank you.
Ten minutes?
Are you sure?
All right, then, there's a, uh, coffee shop we can meet at across the street.
Hey.
This is from my girlfriend.
Really?
yeah, we met last winter snowdog sledding; it's a crazy story.
Yeah, I'm sure it is.
I'll be back soon.
Jerry, is that for you?
Yeah, from Doris.
The Eskimo chick?
She's not an Eskimo.
Excuse me.
You OK?
Yeah, a patient freaked out.
Listen, about earlier...
I'm sorry if I was out of line.
I was a little dense.
It's just in the O.R., I have a different autonomy.
It's hard to turn it off.
-You don't have to shut it off.
Just let me know what you're doing first.
-Hey, you two.
Get a room!
You've overdosed on mushrooms.
Mushrooms?
Not that kind of mushrooms.
When are we gonna get out of here?
What kind of mushrooms?
This is Teddy Lempel, the premier mycologist in Chicago.
Best mushroom man four years running in Fungi Magazine.
I'm a chef, and anyone who's anyone knows no-one can hunt down wild mushrooms like Ted.
My gift...my curse.
All right, can we have some room here, please?
Quite an entourage.
I need to listen to your lungs.
This wedding is because of me, you could say, and now it might not happen because of me, which is quite a paradox.
Baby, baby, don't fret.
So, you're Cupid?
Oh, it's the basidiomycetes, really, some of which are known to produce a mating trigger in sows.
A sort of porcine pheromone.
I don't say I know that it works on humans, but a certain beverage was imbibed by Kevin and Nina the other night.
Their eyes met across a crowded kitchen, and voila, they were like Abelard, Tristan and Isolde, Pyramus and Thisbe.
Chest films are back.
Thank you.
I need to look at these with radiology.
Come with me.
Well, don't take too long.
Love is fleeting.
You'll need to come back later.
That's fine.
Oh, nice seeing you...again.
Here, you've been deprived.
Neela.
Special delivery.
You know, I'm waiting on a call from chopper transport.
I'll be in the break room.
What's this all about?
Hmm?
Oh, it's from Doris.
Oh, the Malamute breeder?
I told you about her?
Lucky guess.
# Take my hand Come with me # Into this crystal scenery # And wait till I retain the ticket # You would never have the time # I would love to change your mind # You were there And it was good in the beginning # Over here, see the lights # Arranging twilight sages # Commence to reveal it to the others # But you would never have the time # I would love to change your mind # You were there And it was good in the beginning # You were there We were good in the beginning # Oh, oh, oh-oh # Oooh-oooh-oooh # Take my hand and come with me # Into this crystal village # And see the lights so philosphied in brightness # Cos you would never have the time # And I would love to change your mind # You were there And it was good in the beginning # Oooh-oooh-oooh...
# Can you redress my ankle in three and make sure that my NPO girl is still NPO?
I got it.
Excuse me.
Hey, Grady, I got your STD buddhist to take the penicillin.
Thank God.
Hi, is Dr Morris around?
Are you a family member?
I'm John Carter.
Uh-huh?
Used to work here.
Oh.
As what?
Can you find him?
Can you find Dr Morris?
He's around somewhere.
Carter?
You the one that got that nurse pregnant and moved to Seattle?
No, that was somebody else.
Sorry, my mistake.
Elixir of love - my Valentine's Day gift to the daring among you.
It looks fecal.
It works.
Love potion?
Puck had a magical mixture made from a flower called "love-in-idleness" and I've got my mushroom juice.
Didn't that make Titania fall in love with an ass?
We're all asses, aren't we?
It was a mistake.
That's what the play's about.
It's about mistakes.
Perhaps...
but without the mistake there'd be no play, would there?
So, what now?
Are you done with me?
Well, we found some abnormal nodules that are concerning.
Concerning?
Did you consult a pulmonologist?
Yeah.
Did you order bronchoscopy?
What's that?
They look into your lungs...
Thanks, I got this.
We can biopsy the nodules and see what we're dealing with.
20-year-old, heart rate in the '60s, unconscious in the rig.
Morris is down the hall.
Hey, Zades!
Finally, a familiar face.
Dr Carter, how the hell you been?
Not too bad.
How about you?
Same old same old.
What happened?
We were taking a statement on the brawl.
How long you in town for?
Uh, it all depends.
On what?
A bunch of stuff, actually.
I want to do it.
I appreciate that.
I do.
but you need to think it through.
You've explained it all to me.
It's not like giving blood.
It's your egg.
You really should be...
Aunt Cate, you remember when I was 15, and I ran off with that guy?
The 25-year-old bartender.
And I called you from that restaurant.
Uh, it was a bar.
My parents had no idea.
You were the only adults I could talk to.
You saved me.
I remember driving out there.
Bringing you home.
Cleaning you up.
Getting you into bed.
That week I spent with you, sleeping in Daryl's room.
He must have been about three.
I was so sad then...
..and he was so sweet to me.
I would do anything for you.
We brought him in as a witness.
Flexes with painful stim, but that's about it.
It was only later he told us he got punched in the face.
Tracy, what's the GCS?
1-1-3, a five.
So what now?
Tube.
Good.
Do it.
Archie Morris, all grown up.
No way!
What are you doing here?
I'm gonna be in chicago for a while.
That's great!
Pushing it now.
I was thinking about some shifts.
You're kidding.
That'd be awesome.
This guy is a legend.
We kind of met outside.
Might get better alignment with a shoulder roll.
Who should I talk to?
That would be Catherine Banfield, our chief.
I can see the cords.
Then go for it.
You followed my advice, Archie.
How's that?
You set the tone.
I'm off to Bloomington.
They're about to cross-clamp the donor's aorta.
Joanie in surgery yet?
No, but she should be heading to the O.R.
any minute.
I'll try and catch her before she goes up.
What are you looking for?
Scopolomine patches.
Helicopters make me airsick.
Really?
Mm-hmm.
You never told me that.
Well, planes are fine, but helicopters are so jiggly.
Well, that is good to know.
Tell me...
how do you feel about boats?
What?
Have a safe flight.
Hyperventilate at a rate of 26.
CT can take him now.
All right, let's move.
Left my backboard.
Hey, Zades, you sure you got the story right on this guy?
Yeah, why?
He's in pretty bad shape.
Not your average punch in the face.
Cops took a report.
People saw it happen.
Good enough for me.
Maybe he hit his head on something on the way down.
Maybe.
How's he doing?
Not great.
We had to put a tube in to breathe for him.
Oh, no.
You know, he seems a lot sicker than he should be from one hit.
Something's not right here.
It seems like our uniformed guy got a little mixed up.
It happened at the station house.
It did?
They brought the guy in for questioning.
My guys weren't watching him.
How so?
There was a drunk thug from Garfield in the holding cell with him.
It turned ugly.
I see.
It's our fault.
We should've had better control of the situation.
Well, thanks for the update.
I'm going to get you something to make your tummy feel better.
I'm telling you - drink the juice.
Everybody is.
Thanks, but to be honest, this really doesn't look...
potable.
Dr Carter!
Hey, Sam.
How are you?
Good.
You should probably be back in bed.
Why?
That's for sick people.
When did you get here?
Back a little while ago.
It's like bizarro E.R.
Kind of the same, but every single thing is different.
Well, one thing never changes - the patients.
Dr Carter!
Hello.
Wow.
Welcome back.
Hey, how are you?
I didn't even see you come in.
-I kind of snuck in.
Hey, how's Kem?
She's great.
She's in Paris with her mom.
Oh, well, how long are you in town?
That, uh, is still kind of up in the air.
I'm still waiting on that file, Jerry.
Sam, our migraine lady's been parked in this hallway since Tuesday.
Mary, shouldn't you be, uh, leaning against a wall somewhere, smoking?
Dr Banfield?
Meet John carter.
Hello.
I've heard about you.
All good, I hope.
I would love a couple minutes of your time.
Pump-flow failed in Radiology.
BP took a dive.
This mom?
Neela's gone to pick up the heart.
Uh, sorry, Jim, you'll have to catch me later.
It's...John.
Good, you guys are still here.
Is he OK?
What'd the scan show?
You see these areas here?
Multiple cerebral contusions and generalized brain edema.
Is that really bad?
Yeah.
And we're a little confused.
What's that?
Well, the only way to get this is from multiple blows to the head.
From different directions, probably from a blunt object.
You can tell that from an X-ray?
This picture doesn't match the history that I'm getting.
Dr Morris...
It wouldn't be the first time this has happened.
What are you suggesting?
That whoever is telling you this story is lying.
The thing is, Dr Morris, I'm the one telling you the story.
No, you don't understand.
Our patient is herniating.
Yes, as soon as you can.
Thank you.
Neurosurge is in the O.R.
Yeah, what else is new?
In another hospital.
What?
This guy just gave me an earful about the national shortage of neurosurgeons.
They've started double-covering the Chicago hospitals.
Is that even legal?
Pulse down to 44.
Did he say how long he'd be?
A couple of hours, at least.
You're kidding.
He's going to die if we wait that long.
I know that!
But we don't have a surgeon All right, so, let's do it.
No, no, no.
We can't.
We don't have the training...
Who cares?
What are you gonna do?
Just stand here and let the guy herniate and die?
Sterile eights, a bovie, and a ventriculostomy tray.
Whoa, whoa!
Are we gonna do a ventriculostomy here?
It's his only chance.
I'll go get the twist drill.
The projections's only 18%.
L-vad's malfunctioning.
What does that mean?
the device pumping the blood isn't working.
Stealing your twist drill.
Sats only 84.
Another 80 of lasix.
Why won't it work?
Don't you think the girl should wait outside?
She can handle this.
Fix it!
Can you fix it?
Lucy, come here.
Come here.
Look at me.
I'm OK.
You don't have to worry.
Systolic 49.
Mom.
Joanie, we need to intubate.
Guys, I found this in the ICU.
What is it?
in the event of an electrical failure, the L-vad is designed to use a hand pump.
How do you know it's an electrical failure?
I don't.
But it's worth a shot.
Good carotid.
Pulse ox is coming up.
I think this might hold us till we get to the O.R.
You got it.
How long do you have to keep squeezing that thing?
Until she gets her new heart.
Which is gonna be any minute.
BP's 190/118.
And...
What are you doing?
I'm through to the white matter.
Just drilling into the brain.
Good luck with that.
Catheter.
Aim it toward the medial canthus...
Of the opposite eye, I know.
Everybody start praying.
How do you know you're not gonna hit a blood vessel?
I don't.
Or the pituitary?
I'm nowhere near it.
I don't think.
Does a brain feel more like jello or like butter?
Tracy, shut up.
I'm sorry.
I'm just nervous.
Oh, my God.
Believe I am in.
> Is that CSF?
Yep, decompressed the ventricles.
Keep the ICP around 15.
Heart's up to 58 and climbing.
Tell ICU to make room.
Assertive...
I like it.
Nice job, Archie.
You all right, man?
Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
Hey, Jerry, is Frank coming in today?
Uh, only if I call in sick.
No, he's not on till next week.
Some family thing in Cleveland.
Love is in the air.
Did somebody actually drink that?
Oh, that chocolate soda?
Pretty skunky.
No.
The bogus fungus water.
What?
Are you sure you're OK?
Yeah, all good.
Gonna wait for Dr Banfield in the lounge.
Mm-hmm.
John.
Can I just tell you you look great in those jeans?
Thanks.
I know it feels like the end of the world today, but you will fall for someone else tomorrow.
Where did you learn that?
parenting 101?
Sorry.
I can wait someplace else.
No, no, no.
Actually, you saved me.
I'm gonna go get something from the jumbo mart.
Alex...
There's another thing that's different.
He got a foot taller.
I know.
And he's under the influence of a bunch of fun hormones.
Well, don't let him drink whatever Jerry's drinking.
Forget it.
So, Sam...what did you hear from Abby and Luka?
She e-mailed me.
Sounds like it's, uh, going great.
Great for them.
Sam, can you check the status of the transport team?
I want to know the minute they get here.
Yep.
Thank you.
Good to see you.
Good to see you.
So, you're a popular guy.
Worked here a long time.
Been away a long time.
But I am gonna be in chicago sort of indefinitely, and I was hoping to keep my skills up and maybe help you out a little.
Help us out?
Pick up a few shifts.
You don't have to pay me.
I work for food.
So, you were an attending here?
Yeah.
And what have you been doing?
Working in Africa.
Darfur mostly.
I spent some time in Indonesia after the tsunami.
Really?
So, now you're ready to come back to the real world?
Well, that felt pretty real to me out there but you could say that.
Having done the same thing, I know there's a lot of relearning required, and if you're not fully invested in it...
I don't know how many shifts I can pick up, but I do know procedures, and the patients and I know quite a bit of your personnel.
And I know not to use the snack machine on 3, and how to get to the clinic without going outside in winter, and the bottom right-hand drawer of the desk sticks unless you brace it with the bottom of your foot.
I wasted a lot of money in that snack machine.
Not any more.
So, tell me, when did you first work here?
I was a med student in the E.R.
in 1994.
You knew Mark Greene.
Yeah.
I knew Mark Greene.
Yep.
Learned a lot from him.
When can you start?
Is he gonna be all right?
No.
But what you guys did down there...
Well, we probably saved his life, but there's no way to know if he'll ever wake up, or understand anything.
I can tell you know.
Know what?
Don't do that.
I can tell when something is bothering you.
It was like I froze.
I didn't know what to do.
When?
What happened?
They took this guy into interrogation.
I stayed at the desk filling out some forms.
I go back...
There's three of them tuning him up pretty good.
Three cops?
I see them through the window, so what do I do?
Tell them to give it a break?
Get somebody else involved?
No.
I walk away, come back ten minutes later.
By then, he's crying for help.
Eventually, they let me call 911.
Did you tell Detective Mallory?
I didn't have to - he was in there with them.
You can't just bury this.
What am I supposed to do?
I am the new guy.
I follow orders.
Claudia...
I wouldn't even be there if he hadn't backed me up.
You don't get it, Archie.
No, I think I do.
These things happen sometimes.
I just gotta deal with it.
-You mean ignore it.
There's a code on the job.
You don't turn on one of your own.
That's something you never come back from.
There are about 20 surgeons in the room, all picking up organs.
Dr Robbins steps up, takes a scalpel...
Dr Robbins?
The transplant attending.
She whips out the heart like it's no big deal, and then says to the room, "Looks good.
Thanks."
30 seconds later, we're back up in the air like a band of superheroes.
Well, you kind of are.
I don't know if I could do transplant surgeries full-time, but there's a rush.
Robbins wants your butt in here.
OK, coming.
You off shift now?
Yeah, uh, but I'll wait with Lucy until you're done.
Adson with teeth.
Dr Rasgotra, you're missing all the fun.
Sorry...
SVC, IVC are done.
Saved the aorta for you.
Wow!
Are you sure?
My eight-year-old could do it.
Cut the great vessels as close to the heart as you can.
That way, we have tissue to work with.
OK.
Scissors.
Ready?
Less talk, more action.
The aorta is...divided.
Take it out.
The heart?
No, the kidney.
Yes, doctor, the big, dead organ you just disconnected.
It's Bloomington.
They want to talk to a doctor.
Say it's going fine.
Pick it up with the clamp...
They need to speak with you.
Voila.
We need to stop the transplant.
There's been a mistake.
Go ahead and discharge, but make sure you do phone follow-up.
All right, got to go.
Thanks.
Lucy.
Are you done?
No.
Is the new heart in yet?
What's going on?
I, um...Do you know what a blood type is?
Sort of.
Your mom is a type O, which means she can only get a heart from another O.
There was a mistake at the hospital.
The donor's blood type was mislabeled.
She's an A.
If we had put that heart in your mom, she would have died.
Fortunately, they found out before it was too late.
Your mom will get a new heart, Lucy.
So, what now?
We reimplant the L-vad, and then we wait?
The thing is we didn't learn of the mistake until we had taken out the old heart.
Your mom is on a cardiac bypass machine.
She needs to stay on it until we find her a new heart.
She can't talk?
No, but she'll know you're there.
Any changes?
Well, his intracranial pressure's still spiking.
It's not a good sign.
As I'm sure you're both aware, I'm required by law to report this.
Report what?
Well, whenever the history doesn't match the physical injury we need to follow certain protocols.
You know the drill.
I don't think I do.
I've sent the scalp lavage fluid to the lab where they'll look for substances, fibers to help fill in the blanks.
You know, standard procedure.
I see.
And of course I'll need to notify the state authorities, start an official investigation.
What do you think you're doing, doctor?
My job.
You see that game last night?
The bulls were really, uh, shooting from outside the paint.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Me neither, basketball banter.
Just trying to approximate guy talk.
Well, thanks for trying.
Women.
Can't live with 'em.
Can't shoot 'em.
Look, I've learned one thing.
Get your heart stomped on, it's best to take all that energy and channel it into something positive.
Hi, Lucy.
Your foster dad's not here yet?
It's OK.
I want to say good night to my mom before I go.
Well, she should be settled upstairs soon.
I always knew she wasn't my mom.
I found a picture of another lady in a hospital bed, holding me when I was a baby, so I figured it out.
You're a very smart little girl.
It never bothered me.
Because she always loved me so much, and made me feel so happy.
And I knew that that's what a real mother did, even if she's not your real mom.
Mr Lempel, what are you doing?
If we hold the ceremony in the next hour, we'll beat sunset.
You can't leave now.
Why, am I dying?
No, you're not dying.
Fantastic.
Stupendous.
All the more reason to start celebrating.
You have a hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
It's an immune reaction to fungal spores.
Mushroom worker's lung.
You've heard of it?
Pleurotus cornucopiae is a likely culprit, I knew it was just a matter of time.
Gentleman, lady, thank you very much.
This place is...nowhere near as bad as its reputation.
Wait, you need to be treated.
Nah.
What do you mean, "nah"?
Well, I don't know why you need me to tell you this, but the only definitive treatment is to stay away from mushrooms.
And that, my friends, is not an option.
You'd rather have lung disease than stay away from mushrooms?
If mushrooms be the food of love...play on.
If we shadows have offended, say but this and all is mended.
What was that?
Sorry?
Why'd you pull that stunt up there?
To see that the right thing happens.
I was gonna handle it my own way.
Well, it didn't seem like that.
What?
Now you want to judge me?
I'm trying to help.
Well, stop!
Last thing I need is them knowing I opened up my mouth.
Just the two I was looking for.
Dr Morris, it turns out, there was an incident that some of the guys didn't feel they wanted to be upfront about.
It's being dealt with now.
Dealt with?
Mm-hmm.
The officers will be disciplined, maybe even prosecuted.
We can't abide that kind of infraction.
Can we, Detective Diaz?
No, sir.
I appreciate your help.
We'll get you a report so that your records can accurately reflect the cause of injury.
OK.
Thank you.
So, you got any shifts you want me to work?
Banfield said yes?
Took a little persuading.
Ah, she's no pushover.
I'll be around.
That's great, man.
Thanks for showing me how to tube the effusion.
Oh, no problem.
Check a film in an hour, and call me if the fluid reaccumulates.
Grasshopper, the student has become the teacher.
I heard you were lurking about.
How have you been?
Oh, I've had better days.
I hear the Carter Center is finally opening.
Official opening in a few weeks.
You and Kem must be so proud.
Yeah.
I'll be around.
I'll buy you a cup of coffee and tell you tales of Africa.
I look forward to hearing them.
From Dr Brenner.
John!
John!
Call me!
# No, you don't remember the town where you were born # Cos you never No, no, never # Opened up the doors # In a dream that you were dreaming # Well, I hope you know for sure # It's the town you don't remember # The town where you were born # Well, you wiped out all your footsteps # And you wiped out all your foes # For the comfort and the safety # That comes when you're alone # It's the town you don't remember # The town where you were born # It's the town that you are leaving # The town where you belong # Heaven knows the reason Heaven knows for sure.
# Uh, what the hell are you doing?
It's freezing out here!
Buono sera, mio dolce cretina.
No, uh...
I'm sorry.
I think I just called you a sweet idiot.
Simon, what are we doing here?
This is the closest that we've got to a canal for now, but I am determined...
to do better.
What's this?
Well, that's an IOU.
We take a week off in April and spring, as you know, is the perfect time to visit Venice.
You want to go to Venice?
Yeah.
With you.
Grappa?
OK.
All right, I think this qualifies as a romantic gesture.
This...
No, this is nothing.
This is just the beginning.
