for complicated

because I'm pregnant.

- Do you foresee any problems

working in a public hospital
system like New Amsterdam?

- The only problem I see having
is getting any work done

while staring into those
amazing, blue eyes of yours.

- You lied to me!
I asked you if this residency

was on the level,
and you said yes.

- I'm going to wait you out,

and then I'm going to undo
every bloated program,

every underfunded clinic,

and everything that you've
built on very shaky ground.

- I am going to miss
this place,

for a brand-new chapter

of our lives together
in London.

- I'm not!

Why would I patronize you?

I mean, unless you're telling
me that being Santa is easy--

- It's not easy!

There's a lot of
hard work involved!

- That's what I'm saying!
We're on the same page here.

I mean, the amount of work
that goes into one night--

- One night?
[scoffs]

It's not one night!

Everyone always thinks
it's one night,

but the prep
starts December 26,

and it does not stop,
believe you me.

- I do.
I do believe you.

I can barely manage
the logistics in my department.

organization,

overseeing all types
of interesting personalities--

- Hold on.

I got it.

[UK police siren wailing]

- Roderick Cantleigh?

Hi. Dr. Helen Sharpe.
Thank you so much for coming.

So exciting to have
the NHS Regional Director

for all of London
visiting our humble hospital.

- Unexpected visits
from one's boss' boss' boss

are rarely cause
for excitement.

- Right. Okay.
Um...

look, I know that my
proposed reforms are ambitious,

but I assure you
they are useful,

they are commonsensical,
they're patient-focused--

- American.

Your ideas are American.

- I am aware that there
are differences

between the American health
care system and England--

- Ours is better.
- But...

England shaped me
as a doctor and as a person,

and I promise you,
under my leadership,

Hampstead will be the essence
of English health,

and the community
that I am proud to call home

will support it wholeheartedly.

Shall we?

- We demand personalized
oncology services!

- Doctors of our choosing
available when we need them!

- And you should get out
your bloody cell phones!

- We want it the American way!
- This is a human right!

[overlapping angry chatter]

.

- Dr. Baptiste, your wife
and the fetus are stable.

- Thank you.

- Would you like to
come be with her?

- Yes.

[indistinct PA announcement]

You coming?

Hey.

Dr. Matsudaira said
you're doing good.

- And the baby, too.

- Yeah.
We're good.

- I'm so sorry, Lyn.
- Yeah, we both are.

- Can't speak for Floyd,
but for me,

this ride that we're on can
bring up a lot of insecurities.

[soft dramatic music]

- Amen to that.

- None of it's an excuse.
You needed us. Both of us.

And we were off playing
who's the alpha.

- And who won?

- We don't know.

We told the lab

I wanted us to be better

- How you feeling?

- You can skip the preamble.

You opened me up and you found
that the cancer had spread.

- No.

- Or an aneurysm
or a plague of locusts.

- No.
No, it went great.

- Did I die?

Am I dead right now?

- Mr. Treize,
I just looked at your labs.

We managed to remove
all the cancer.

Margins are clear.

Medically speaking,
you're cured.

- Who did what?

- Dr. Castries.

She said that she was going
to break the curse,

that she was going to be
by my side during surgery.

And here I am.
Here I am.

And you were skeptical
at first,

but you got to hand it to her.

let's get you to post-op.

- I'm in the market
for a second assistant

because my schedule
is just too complex

for one person
to handle it alone.

This job is demanding.
It is high-octane. It is fast.

Do you think you are up
for that, um, Chris?

- Absolutely.

- It's only part-time.

- Perfect.

- That said, may call you in
on the weekends.

- It'll be like I never
leave the hospital.

- Hm.

Now it says here that
you worked for Goldman Sachs,

left three years ago,
haven't worked since.

Bit of a red flag.
Why the break?

- I needed to take some time
off to see the world.

- Wow.

Anyway,
this all sounds great to me.

Is there anything else
that I should know?

- Um, yes, there is.

Um, I hope this isn't
a dealbreaker,

but I'll need
December 25th off.

- Hi.
I was paged?

- Greg Treize wants to talk
to you about his chi.

- Yes. Where is he?
- Post-op.

- But his surgery
was cancelled.

- No.
I heard it went well, actually.

- So you're telling me that
Veronica's new assistant

is a secret Santa?
- I am.

[laughter]
- Oh, my God. It's too good.

- It felt good,
I got to be honest.

What about you, though?

This place is
a surgical theater,

it's a revolutionary hideout.

I mean, you almost forget
it's chock-full of dead bodies.

- Well, to be fair,
you did leave a Yank

Uh, you should count yourself

Every last one.

They're not going to work
