Original subtitles

We knew this was coming.

I'm sorry for what you're going through.

Whatever you need, I'm game.

Your presence in the ED has become a liability.

I'm suspending you without pay, effective immediately.

With Sean leaving Chicago and Margo and I ending things,

why stay?

Are you really saying that to me?

Of course, you're a reason to stay.

Jackson-Monroe Hospital is closing its doors.

Daily patient numbers will double.

Changes are on the horizon.

Alistair Reed?

That's me.

Oh.

Please, she's dizzy and getting worse.

Let's get you inside, ma'am.

Just a little longer, sir.

Oh, man, it's freezing out there.

Yeah.

Hear anything from Ripley yet since the suspension?

No.

But to be fair, I kind of walked out on him.

Yeah, well, he kind of deserved it.

I know, but doesn't make me stop worrying about him.

Yeah.

Same.

Dr. Asher, there's a 12-year-old girl

in treatment three.

Didn't want to get the pediatrician?

Mm, the mom's requesting a female doctor.

- Ah, OK. - I'll be right there.

OK.

Ah, took you long enough.

Sorry, doorbell's busted.

Super said he'd fix it.

But he's also a criminal, so...

- Yeah. - You look like hell.

How's Nate?

Oh, he's still running a fever.

OK, well, let me take a look at him.

All right.

Going barefoot in this weather is ill-advised.

I wanted to feel the earth under my feet.

Well, I thought you said that the Night Owl Rave

was in a warehouse.

Oh, it's a metaphor, man.

Yeah, I'm going to go out on a limb

and say I don't think you know what that word means.

Oh, you need to relax.

I think you'll find that touching me

will not elicit the response you're looking for.

OK, Mr. Kerr, you need a tetanus shot.

I'll get it while Nurse Campos dresses your wound.

Let's get him some shoes from the lost and found.

Something soft, if you have it.

UGGs, maybe.

Hi, Arianna. I'm Dr. Asher.

This is Student Doctor Howard.

- Hi. - Hi.

And you must be Mom.

- Jocelyn. - OK, nice to meet you.

OK, so what's going on today?

Arianna's school choir had a competition

in Columbus last weekend.

They got back yesterday, when she started

feeling sick to her stomach.

Then today she woke up with a low fever and body aches.

Well, I'd like to take a quick look at you.

Is that OK? - OK.

OK.

So any sore throat or coughing?

All right.

Any vomiting or diarrhea?

May I touch your stomach? - Yes.

Any pain when you go to the bathroom?

My stomach hurts, but I haven't thrown up.

Have you started menstruating yet?

Menstruating?

Have you gotten your period?

Um, yeah.

OK. When was the last one?

I'm sorry. Is that relevant?

It could be, yes.

Well, she got her first period a few months ago.

And I believe she just finished with the last one, yes?

Yes, a couple of days ago.

OK, so let's get a CBC, a CMP, a UA, and a UPREG.

- OK. - Wait. I'm sorry.

That last one, is that a pregnancy test?

It is.

- Why do I need that? - Oh, this is standard.

Dr. Asher, can I speak with you a second outside?

Sure.

Is everything OK?

Listen, I try very hard to make sure

Arianna isn't exposed to certain ideas

until she's ready.

OK.

Well, it just seems like you're making this

about my daughter's sexual history,

which I can assure you she doesn't have.

I promise you, that is not at all what's happening.

Everything that I'm asking is very standard

and designed to get the whole picture

to diagnose Arianna, that is all.

Yeah, well, I would appreciate it

if you could be more careful moving forward.

I will do my absolute best within the scope of my job.

OK?

OK.

Excuse me, sir.

You can't enter until they call your name.

I've been waiting over an hour

and I keep getting bumped by other patients.

We are having a particularly busy day,

but we will get to you. - Will you?

And exactly what criteria do you use

to prioritize patient entry?

Or is it just as haphazard as it seems?

Sir, do I need to call security?

What's wrong, Doris?

This patient is trying to cut the line.

Oh, I'm not a patient.

- Then who are you, sir? - Alistair Reed.

I'm with the National Accreditation

Board of Hospitals.

- You're with NABOH? - Mm-hmm.

Well, right, then.

Why don't you wait in the lounge

while I find Ms. Goodwin, our executive director?

Doris, can you help Mr. Reed find the way?

Follow me.

What's NABOH?

They're like health inspectors for hospitals.

They show up unannounced

and look for any health and safety violations.

If Mr. Reed sees enough things that he doesn't like,

he can recommend that Gaffney be closed... permanently.

But does that actually ever happen?

What?

Sounds like a scare tactic to me.

How do you think Jackson-Monroe got shut down?

As requested, six months of hospital records.

I'll also need the most recent

hospital policy and procedures manual.

I'll get that for you.

I'm sorry you had such a long wait, Mr. Reed.

But I'm confused why you didn't

just alert the staff you were here.

I sign in as a non-emergent patient

and see how long it takes to be called in.

If I wait more than an hour, it's a policy violation.

With all due respect,

that feels a bit misleading and unfair to my staff.

With all due respect, Ms. Goodwin,

I've found that full transparency

leads to less than accurate results.

Mm-hmm.

Well, when you're finished,

I'm happy to escort you through the site visit.

Yeah, I'll let you know when I'm ready.

Lovely.

In the meantime, please help yourself to some coffee.

You allow coffee in your workspaces?

I'll check back later.

Yeah. Uh-huh. Thanks.

Is it just me, or was that the most

humorless man you've ever met?

Worse than that.

It felt like he was nitpicking.

Look, I'm going to need your help today.

Give the brick to Doris.

I want you to organize the staff.

Make sure there's nothing that could undermine us.

And if you spot any major problems, you let me know ASAP.

Anything else I can do to help?

Yeah, if you see NABOH coming your way,

tell him you need to go to the bathroom

and run the other direction.

Sorry, why exactly?

Because they will quiz you

about every single hospital policy.

Do you know the exact protocol for evacuating people

out of an operating room in case of an emergency?

Sorry, I have to go to the bathroom.

Now you're getting it.

He was coughing all night.

The only way he would sleep at all

is if I sat upright and laid him on me.

Well, he's got a nasty virus, but his lungs are clear.

So whatever it is,

it's all right up here.

Oh, what about the vomiting?

When babies have mucus dripping down,

it can upset the stomach.

Oh, so he's throwing up snot?

Yeah.

That's objectively disgusting.

Yeah.

Well, I'm sorry I called you out for a cold.

Oh, don't apologize.

It's... it's better to check.

I was just being polite anyway.

What's the point of having a doctor friend

if you can't abuse them?

You know, if...

if you want, I could stick around for a bit.

You know, keep an eye on Nate, monitor the fever.

You don't have to work?

Well, I got the late shift tonight, so...

Oh, that would be great.

Yeah.

Please don't tell my mom.

She's not a fan of screen time?

She's not a fan of anything.

And it's only supposed to be for emergencies.

Well, I'll have to make sure I observe

doctor-patient confidentiality, then.

So who you texting?

This boy I met on the trip.

That's cool.

The trip was so fun.

We hung around this fire pit,

did chicken fights in the water,

basically everything I'm not supposed to do.

You went swimming in this weather?

The hotel had an indoor pool.

My mom would lose it if she knew

I was in a bathing suit in front of boys.

I finally felt normal for once.

Yeah.

Sorry.

I'm shivering all of a sudden.

Can I get a blanket?

Mm-hmm.

Hey, the intense shaking, that's rigors.

It means that she's got an infection

and it's getting worse.

You know, I was talking to Arianna,

and she mentioned on her trip, she swam with some boys.

She didn't say it, but it's always possible

there was some kissing.

You thinking mono?

Rigors is a symptom, right?

Could be, but,

it could also be a sign of bacteria in the blood.

So I want you to get a mono spot test,

draw blood cultures and a Gram stain,

and start her on broad-spectrum antibiotics

until those cultures are done cooking.

Nice work.

Patient is Brayden Whitlocker, 13 years old.

Gunshot wound to his left chest.

No exit wound found.

His mom and brother are here.

His dad's on the way, Alderman Whitlocker.

- From city council? - One and the same.

You got vitals?

Criticals. GCS 6, pulse 145, SATs 89%.

- Any meds in the field? - Just TXA and RSI meds.

It's going to be OK, baby.

- Let's get him over. - Transfer on three.

One, two, three.

Hang fentanyl and propofol drips.

OK, ultrasound. I got the E-FAST.

Pulse is dropping. He's getting bradycardic.

- Behind. - BP 75 over 42.

Large pericardial effusion.

He's about to code. Let's open him up.

ChloraPrep, scalpel, and chest tray.

- I got it. - Is my brother going to be OK?

Please, I need you both to step back, OK?

Step back.

Get the ChloraPrep, please.

That's good.

Let's get the rib spreaders.

Opening the pericardium.

All right, pulse 44 now.

OK, looks like it hit the left ventricle.

Any sign of the bullet?

- No, nothing. - Grab a couple Allises.

And hold the edges together to close the hole.

- OK, letting go of the hole. - OK. Skin stapler.

- BP 70 over 40. - Give it a second.

Still no bullet.

You have to look lower.

- What? - He was shot from above,

so the angle of the bullet went downward.

How do you know?

I'm the one who shot him.

Apparently Brayden snuck out last night

to hang with friends, but when he came back early this morning

and tried to climb through a window,

Jeremiah mistook him as an intruder and shot him once.

When Jeremiah realized what he'd done,

he was obviously devastated.

I can't even imagine.

But it was an accident,

so there likely won't be formal charges, right?

I hope not.

But unfortunately the gun Jeremiah

bought last week is unregistered,

so he'll be processed and charged.

Why would he buy a gun?

For protection.

The family lives in a pretty rough neighborhood.

Why? The husband's on city council.

They just separated.

Mrs. Whitlocker and her sons moved out a few weeks ago.

Look, Jeremiah can stick around until we know

where his little brother stands,

but then I got to take him downtown.

That's kind of you.

Alderman Whitlocker.

Ed, thanks so much for reaching out.

Is Brayden OK? - He's stable for right now.

Tell me everything you know,

and please just be straight with me.

Brayden was shot in the heart.

He lost a lot of blood.

We were able to stabilize him, but there was no exit wound.

And the trajectory of the bullet was unclear,

so we're doing a CT scan to try to find it.

I've spent half my life

trying to get guns off the streets,

and then this happens.

When will we know the results?

Soon.

Thank you for your candor.

I'd like to see my family now.

Please. Yeah.

I got the test results back on Arianna.

Negative for mono. - Damn.

But that's not the weird thing.

She's positive for staph.

But that doesn't make sense.

We started her on broad-spectrum antibiotics.

That should be helping get rid of the infection.

But it's getting worse?

So then what's going on?

I don't know, but it feels like

we still don't know the source of the infection.

So let's get an abdominal CT.

OK.

Hi.

All right, let's check every wheel

on every cart and every bed.

No dings, no dents, no stickiness.

No anything. No friction.

Every wheel in the ED, that's going to take all day.

- Wheels. - You have 12 minutes.

Wheels. Wheels. Wheels. Wheels.

You don't ever think of that H in "wheels."

Everything OK, Dr. Archer?

Yeah, I feel good.

Yeah, I feel pretty good.

I'm a little warm,

maybe a little, uh, glow-y.

Glow-y?

What is that?

It's an owl sticker.

Those guys that were here earlier came from a rave,

and they were pretty high. - What?

- And you're thinking... - Yep.

- And they gave him... - Uh-huh.

Those sentences, did they end?

Oh, my, what's... what's going on?

That is an LSD sticker on your arm.

You're on acid, Dean.

Oh, that's unfortunate.

Ah, that word came out like a ribbon.

OK, this isn't happening.

OK, is this bad?

It's an accident, right?

You try telling NABOH that.

OK, change of plans.

No more wheels. - Wheels.

OK, we're going to take Dr. Archer to treatment four.

- Four. - OK?

- And we're going to get him on IV.

You're going to be OK.

We're going to get you on fluids,

and we're going to take good care of you, OK?

I've always liked you.

Oh.

- OK, come on. - OK.

- All right. - Let's go.

- Yep. - OK.

So the CT revealed that the bullet

embolized into the aorta.

Well, that sounds dangerous.

It is.

We need to operate immediately to remove it.

Is he going to survive that?

It's a risky procedure.

The aorta is a pulsating vessel,

so the bullet could move at any time.

There's also significant chance of organ failure,

catastrophic blood loss.

I can't believe I did this.

Don't blame yourself, Jerem...

Jeremiah.

Wait.

Walk me through this, Dr. Lenox.

What exactly are you going to do in there?

First we will make an incision

down the center of the abdomen.

Then we will stop blood flow to the aorta.

And assuming the bullet's still there,

we'll take it out, sew everything back up.

And how long will the surgery take?

It's hard to say for sure, but a few hours, I'd imagine.

And I do have to get up to the OR.

Thank you so much for helping my boy.

Of course.

I'm going to make a call.

Sure.

Hey, I couldn't help but to notice your cut.

Yeah, I cut it picking up some broken glass at the house.

Ah.

You really should clean it up.

I mean, Brayden is on the way up for surgery.

There's really nothing you can do right now.

OK?

All right, follow me.

Now that his fever is down, hopefully he'll sleep awhile.

Oh, good.

Good. He needs it.

What's that?

The night Sully died, he asked me to bring it to him.

He wanted to give it to you himself, but...

when everything happened, I forgot about it.

Wow.

One of the first times Sully and I hung out,

he, uh,

convinced me to ditch school and sneak into a Cubs game.

Sixth inning,

Mickey Morandini hits this homer

that lands just a few feet from us.

We both dove, practically got in a fistfight over it.

We thought it was going to be worth something.

And I guess Sully beat you to it?

Yeah, except he told me he sold it.

He was actually pretty sentimental

once you got past the whole arrogant prick thing.

Yeah.

I miss that arrogant prick.

You know, they say it gets easier.

It doesn't.

It gets harder.

Because when it first happens, everyone's there, you know?

And they're sorry.

And they're crying too.

And it feels like they're

helping to carry all this hurt.

But then the world moves on

'cause they got to, right?

But I'm still here.

I'm just carrying all of it now, all alone.

Hey. Hey.

No, you're not alone.

Uh...

I'm sorry.

I... I didn't mean to do that.

Uh, uh...

It's OK. It's OK.

I should probably go. - No, no, no.

Rip, don't. I'm... I'm...

It's... it's fine.

It's... I just got to go.

Call me if anything changes with Nate.

OK. I'm sorry.

Problem?

These two trash cans should be 8 feet apart.

Uh, shall I get you a tape measure?

Excuse me.

Nurse Graysen, may I ask you a quick protocol question?

Oh, uh...

I was just on my way to the bathroom.

You may think encouraging your staff

to stonewall me is amusing, but I assure you it only

damages Gaffney's standing in my final evaluation.

Well, if my staff is avoiding you, Mr. Reed,

perhaps you need to reconsider your bedside manner.

By all means, speak your mind, Ms. Goodwin.

Gaffney is a center of excellence

and adheres to only the highest of standards.

I'm deeply proud of my staff

and the groundbreaking work that they do.

And I'd hope that the quality of their care

isn't measured by the distance between two trash cans.

Shall we move on to the surgical wing?

Let's.

You know, at my last hospital,

I got really good at triage, figuring out what's wrong,

trying to fix it.

Over time, you start to see the same injuries,

the same patterns.

I got to see a lot of slide bites.

What are those?

Well, sometimes when a person who isn't used to handling

a gun fires one, see, the slide

can come back and slice right between the thumb

and the index finger.

Olivia, this is a slide bite.

Why are you letting Jeremiah take the blame

for shooting his brother?

If I'm arrested, my husband will get custody of Brayden.

That can't happen.

You're afraid of him?

Last year, he put Brayden through a door

and broke his collarbone.

It's only gotten worse.

That's why I moved us out of that house.

You need to report this.

OK? I can help you.

You can't fight my husband.

You'll lose.

I get being afraid of him.

I do.

But if you don't get in front of this,

I mean, Jeremiah could be facing serious jail time.

Don't gamble his future for him.

It was an accident.

Jeremiah is young.

The judge will understand.

We have to protect Brayden.

So you're willing to sacrifice

one son for the other?

If Brayden goes back to that house,

his father will end up killing him.

So Jeremiah's just sticking to his story,

even if that means throwing his entire future away.

OK.

OK, so I'm not really sure what to do here.

Well, that's simple. We do nothing.

Nothing? What do you mean do nothing?

I know you wanna help, but we're not cops.

Our job is to find medical solutions to medical issues.

OK, OK, so you're saying that if they don't have a chart,

then they just don't matter to you.

I'm saying there's a boy on that operating table

with a bullet in his chest.

That's my patient. That's who I know I can help.

I don't concern myself with saving souls.

Dr. Ripley.

Hi, MK.

It's so good to see you.

What brings you in here?

I guess I'm running out of places to go.

Well, your timing is perfect.

I could actually use your help with something.

Right this way.

And this will tell us what's wrong?

We hope so.

I'm sorry, but that answer is not good enough.

We're doing everything that we can.

Sometimes infections can be difficult to pin down, but I...

What's that?

What's happening?

Her BP's dropping, and she stopped responding

on the intercom.

Arianna, can you hear me?

BP 86 over 52, pulse 140.

She's tachycardic. - What's happening? Tell me.

She's in septic shock.

Hang a liter of saline wide open,

and let's get her back to the ED.

Dr. Asher, look at her hands.

She went swimming on her trip.

No, she didn't. She's not allowed.

When did you say her period ended?

A few days ago.

Find me a speculum and ring forceps.

I need to perform a pelvic exam on your daughter.

Do I have your consent? - What, now?

Yes. Yes. Yes.

Speculum and ring forceps.

OK. Pelvis up.

Grab her leg, please.

What is going on?

I believe your daughter left a tampon in.

That's not possible. She's not allowed to use them.

She probably borrowed one from a friend

and forgot to take it out.

Your daughter has toxic shock syndrome.

But I don't understand why she didn't say anything.

Because she's too scared to tell you.

Where's Mr. NABOH?

Hmm? Oh, he stepped out to take a phone call.

How's the assessment going?

Honestly, Maggie, I don't know.

This... this guy feels like

he's got some kind of vendetta.

Wait, isn't that his notebook?

Hmm?

Oh, yeah.

He... he must have left it.

Maybe we can find out how we're doing.

No, Maggie. No, we shouldn't.

Maggie.

There's about 15 or 16 violations he listed.

How many does it take before we get penalized?

Jackson-Monroe was shut down at 20.

Close the book. Close the book.

Close it.

So how's your friend,

the one who was sick?

I'm so sorry.

Yeah.

At times like this, it's important to have community.

Well, I'm doing a pretty good job of destroying that.

And why is that, do you think?

I don't know.

It's like I'm reverting back to this...

old version of me, and I can't stop it.

Maybe I'm trying to punish myself.

You know, there's...

there's no fast-forward button for grief.

Sometimes all you can do is...

limit the damage you do to yourself

while the storm passes.

How?

How?

By reminding yourself what's important

over and over, like...

like a mantra.

Listen, close your eyes.

Think about

what matters most to you,

what you can't live without.

Looks like you figured it out.

Think she's going to pull through?

I don't know.

Her vitals are still pretty labile.

Next couple hours are going to be crucial.

Oh, you've got blood on your shirt.

Oh.

NABOH won't love this. I'll be right back.

- I feel I should inform you... - Oh, my...

- I'm in the room. - Dean, what...

Dean, what... what the hell?

What are you doing in here?

The ED was a little hectic...

Given my...

you know.

Plus,

the lighting in here is sublime.

You still feel a little out of it?

I wouldn't say I'm out of it.

I'd say I'm in it.

How are you?

I'm OK, I guess.

Kind of a rough day. - Yeah.

The Ripley roller coaster?

Yeah.

Yeah, amongst other things.

It's a shame you don't see it.

What... what? See what?

Oh, Hannah.

You walk around

without realizing you have this light...

all around you.

You have every right to be cynical

after everything you've been through

and working here every day.

But you're not, you're...

hopeful...

and open.

And kind.

And you deserve more.

And you don't see that.

I do.

I think we need to get you back to a treatment room.

- Fair enough. - Mm-hmm.

Come on.

Dean, are you barefoot?

I wanted to feel the earth under my feet.

- Hey. - What happened?

How is he?

It took some time to localize the bullet,

but we were able to find it and remove it without incident.

So he'll be OK?

Yes, I expect a full recovery.

Oh, thank you. Thank you.

You're very welcome.

Can I see him?

He's being transferred to the PICU shortly.

Yeah, I'll show you the way. Come on.

I'm afraid that's not going to happen, Jeremiah.

What?

Now that Brayden's pulled through,

I need to take him in to be processed.

- Wait. Right now? - It's OK, Mom.

Oh, come on, you can't just give him a few more minutes?

I mean... - I'm sorry.

I gave as much latitude as I could.

Oh, we understand, Detective.

I'll send over a lawyer immediately, son.

I don't want your help, Dad.

You've done enough.

Let's go.

Wait, Detective Rankin.

Jeremiah didn't shoot Brayden.

I did.

You? What?

Mom, please, don't do this.

I bought the gun, and I can tell you where.

And I was the only one who fired it.

You almost killed our son?

Yes, because I thought it was you breaking into our house.

I thought it was you coming for us again.

And I pulled the trigger so you'd stop hurting Brayden,

stop hurting all of us.

I love you, Olivia, but I can no longer deny

what I've known for a long time.

You're a very sick woman.

Dad, stop lying.

This is what he does!

He gaslights you to protect himself!

I'm going to sue for sole custody.

But I promise to get you the very best care

that money can buy.

I blame myself for not doing it sooner.

You always win, don't you?

Always.

- You damn monster! - No, Jeremiah, don't.

Jeremiah, don't, OK?

Stop.

I think you should leave.

Of course.

If you think that's best.

Why'd you tell them, Mom?

We had to protect Brayden.

That's not your job, honey.

It's mine.

And you shouldn't be punished for my mistake.

I'm so sorry.

This way.

Well, what do I do now?

What happens to my brother?

Jeremiah, listen to me, OK?

I promised I would help you, OK?

And that's exactly what I intend to do.

Ms. Shaw?

Sorry, I just needed a minute.

How is Arianna?

Her fever's breaking,

and it looks like she's going to be OK.

Oh, God, I'm so glad.

Oh. Thank you.

Are you OK?

Yes, I'm... I'm so happy.

I just...

My daughter almost died because

she didn't know how to use a tampon.

You were right.

She was afraid to tell me,

afraid of me.

This is all my fault.

No, you were just trying to protect her

because you love her.

I'm not some prude, you know?

It's just,

growing up, I experienced a lot of things

I shouldn't have.

I'm so sorry.

And I promised myself that I would let Arianna be a kid

for as long as she could before the world could get to her.

I get that.

But when she was sick, you brought her in,

and you advocated for her strongly.

And all those missed conversations,

you now have a chance to have them moving forward.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Brayden sure beat the odds, didn't he?

Yeah.

He still has a long road ahead.

He'll get there.

Brayden's always been a fighter.

Alderman Whitlocker,

I have a concern about Brayden's recovery.

Oh, what is it?

Before Brayden was transferred to the PICU,

we did post-op X-rays.

I took the liberty of doing a full skeletal survey,

and I found several old fractures, including,

most notably, this healed fracture on the collarbone,

which is consistent with the incident

your wife relayed to Dr. Frost.

What incident?

You remember when you shoved Brayden through a door

and broke his collarbone?

The thing about injuries is, even if the bruises

are long gone, the bones keep a record.

And they don't lie.

This isn't something you can just

brush under the rug, Alderman.

I don't like what you're insinuating.

Oh, I'm not insinuating anything.

You've clearly been beating your son for years.

What will my X-rays say, Dad?

I've reported my findings to the police.

They should be here soon.

How dare you?

You will both regret this.

You seem quite angry.

Do you want to hit me now too?

He wouldn't lay a hand on anyone in public

because that would jeopardize his career.

He's a coward at heart, aren't you, Dad?

If I go to jail, my sons go into the system.

No one wants that.

Unless Jeremiah wanted

to petition for custody of Brayden.

Jeremiah's a minor.

He won't be 18 for another year.

You forgot my birthday again, Dad.

I'll be 18 next week.

I need to make a call.

You do that. You'll need a lawyer.

Thank you, both of you.

Dr. Frost,

you kept your promise.

I won't forget that.

Hey, you know, I'm not a surgeon,

but I'm pretty sure that a full skeletal survey

is not part of the standard post-op procedure.

Just being thorough.

I thought you weren't into saving souls.

Just take the win, Dr. Frost.

Careful.

People might think you have a heart.

So is the inquisition over?

Uh, I think so.

Mr. Reed is gathering his stuff and then he'll head out.

How did we do?

Well, you were amazing.

I can't imagine what today would

have been without your help.

As for our score, I think it's going to be right on the line.

He said we'd know one way or another in two weeks.

It doesn't seem fair.

We're the best hospital in Chicago,

but we might get shut down because we got an inspector

that's in a bad mood.

Sharon, what's wrong?

Oh, that's not good.

Mr. Reed, I can explain.

Explain what?

Dr. Archer is technically not on duty right now.

Well, regardless, he and I just had

a very illuminating conversation.

Very illuminating.

I'm not so sure I would take that to heart.

Oh, I think that I will.

I spend all day being ignored,

avoided, resented.

And Dean reminded me that what I do is important.

Look, you're just trying to make sure

everyone is the best they can be.

And I know what that's like.

People, they hate you for it.

But I was also letting my own frustration affect my attitude,

which was a mistake. - That's right.

It was?

I'll file my official report tomorrow,

but I don't think Gaffney has anything to worry about.

Well, I'm so glad.

And this guy is a gem.

Yay.

You should really consider putting him

in a leadership position.

Good night. - Good night.

Who was that guy?

Hey, thank you for meeting me.

Of course.

OK, um,

I know I've said sorry to you a lot.

And after a while, that can start to feel hollow.

But I am sorry for...

for all of it.

And I've been doing a lot of thinking about...

OK, I've been...

I've been thinking a lot too.

Look, you're going through a lot.

I get it, but...

It's just...

I keep imagining that

I need to help you through this rough patch with your past,

with Pawel, with Sully.

And I keep thinking I'll help you

and then we'll be OK again.

But then we get through something, and...

there's always another bad patch.

And at some point,

you have just start to wonder if all this trauma ...

if that's just ...

it's just the way you are the way we are together

What are you saying?

I'm saying that I can't be the one to save you, Mitch.

No, don't. Don't... don't do this.

- I'm sorry. - Please. Please.

- I'm sorry. - Hannah... Hannah...

I love you

It's not enough...
