No offense, but you look like ten miles of bad road.

None taken.

He's recovering from bypass surgery.

Had fluid in the lungs. Dr. McCain drained it about six hours ago.

Let's maintain McCain's medication.

You look like you should be ending a shift, not starting one. I am ending a

shift.

Dr. Bauer resigned without prior notice. I covered.

We all heard he got picked off at the hospital board.

Who's this patient?

All she gave us was a name.

Katerina Rizovic, coronary sinus arrest.

She collapsed at Hanover and Blackstone. Boys brought her in about nine.

No ID except a library card. She needs a pacemaker.

But if she doesn't show proof of insurance, we'll have to transfer her to

County, regardless of status.

She's critical. Board of Directors.

Yeah. Maintain.

All of us think Dr. Bauer got screwed.

They took advantage of him. Yeah, well, they'll do that.

Like they're doing to you?

No other doctor would put up with a second shift in ICU.

The board shouldn't even allow it.

They started her on dopamine?

Paramedics couldn't dislodge an unidentifiable obstruction in her

She lost consciousness at the scene, became hypovolemic.

Let's keep her listed on the table.

For safety's sake.

So, you're not going to give me the dish on how Dr. Bauer told the hospital

board to shove it? Is that what you're saying?

I'm not saying anything.

You're just protecting them.

And we know why.

But I'm telling you, they wouldn't do the same for you.

Can't we just take advantage of the FU's relative quiet tonight?

We're coding, too.

MKG still has no heartbeat.

Okay, give me a second.

This one's coding.

That's two.

Make it three.

Give her a half milligram bolus of atropine sulfate. Prep the

it.

We're going to need some help in here.

Call down to the ER. We need the code team now.

Over here. Pulmonary embolism. Check him.

35 milligrams of typhohydramine.

Get to the next one. Come on, people. Move it. Move it.

Get the cracker.

He's coding.

Subdural bleeding.

Herniation of the left cingulate and hippocampal. No indication of any

head trauma or hematoma.

Five refringing crystals in the tissues?

Sure. Any toxins present?

Was the medication contaminated?

No, sir, not. That's evident.

If you're looking for a link...

This patient was not receiving the same medication as the other two who died,

and there is an older woman presently in the ICU who is receiving the same

medication.

And that patient was not on a monitor, unlike these two who died.

No, sir. It couldn't be an electrical spike or bacterial infection or

any agent transmitted in the hospital ventilation system.

And you've considered all these possibilities?

The attending physician was down here a few hours ago, and he raised all the

questions that you did or were about to.

May I ask you your opinion?

Is this as a board member of the hospital?

Off the record, your thoughts.

Were these three deaths caused by the attending physician in the ICU?

The wrong patient was transferred from another hospital.

Wasting no time preparing for the lawsuits, huh?

Alan Pratt. called me from the Tribune asking about three simultaneous deaths

St. Joseph's ICU.

What do I tell him? Look, I... I saw

something in two of these patients.

Oh, something.

I thought it was feelings.

Isn't that what you get?

It's one thing to embarrass me, father to son.

I don't want to embarrass you. I will not allow it, man to man.

When is the last time you had a physical?

February. And what were you doing working a double shift in the ICU?

Your hospital made me.

I won't suspend you.

Is that man a man or father to son?

When there is evidence, I will suspend you.

I'll resign after I find out what happened.

Why have we no immortal soul, asked the Little Mermaid sadly.

That's not the Little Mermaid. She has red hair.

Well, the movie's a different version of this story.

This was written 150 years ago.

The movie wasn't so sad.

Well, yeah.

The part where Ursula had Ariel's father's soul, that was kind of sad.

I would give up all my 300 years to be a human being for one day and afterwards

to have a share of the heavenly kingdom.

Dr. Gabriel's looking at you.

You want me to read to you, too?

Have you been home?

Yeah. Just for a couple hours. I'm not really at work today.

I signed up to volunteer and...

I worked it so that we had the same schedule.

Worked it.

Dr. Harris will see you soon, Amy. I just stopped by to see how you felt

Better. Good.

What happens when you die?

I think nothing happens. You just die.

You're right, Amy.

There is nothing.

Mrs. Rizovic, do you have any family we can contact?

Yes. I'll be there.

Good. Just find out where they are.

Mrs. Rizovic, the hospital will transfer you to a county facility if we cannot

have more information on you. The social security number you gave didn't go

through. I sneak into this country long ago.

Move me then. This is not a good place.

Do you feel that you've been mistreated?

No.

Bad place.

Bad things here.

What kind of bad things?

I'll see you guys later.

Bye.

I think something in us lives on, Amy.

After we die.

Well, it's pretty to think that.

Are you from Russia, Mrs. Rusevich?

Please.

The Ukraine.

Are you from Missouri?

Iowa. See?

And you like it, huh?

Mrs. Rusevich, I don't think you're supposed to be up.

What are you doing?

You're boring.

Mark. They told me I could find you in here. If you need to talk to someone

about what happened last night... You shouldn't be here, Marion. Doctors and

nurses only.

I know. I was... I'm worried about you.

What are you... What are you doing in here? There aren't any patients.

Do you know the odds of three patients?

Flatlining at the same exact moment, even in an ICU.

I saw something.

These creatures.

Creatures?

Mark, you've been working a lot of hours recently.

I felt them first.

They felt like fear.

Someone's fear. Someone in this room.

Mrs. Risevich, she's superstitious about something called the Mora.

You can't tell that to anyone.

We wouldn't want anyone at the hospital to know.

You're not on call.

Go home.

Dad, I didn't screw up. Let me just... Feel your way around.

Yeah, allow me that.

Look, I don't care what you think of me.

I want to find out what happened to those people and then I care.

Please, Mark.

Stop this.

This is shaped like what I saw beneath the patient's skin and in the

too.

Night, Dr. Gabriel.

Good night.

What?

I thought I saw an animal under there.

This is the finest restaurant in the city.

Oh, yeah.

I haven't had a meal this satisfying since my days in Beyond Forces.

So you're spending a lot of time here at the hospital?

You get to spend time with Mark?

I don't speak of devil.

What are you guys doing here?

Virgin went coming to the meeting, so we brought the meeting to you.

How are you, son?

Been better, Elmer. Thanks.

It's really good to see you guys, but please, you're in this hospital right

It's too sensitive a time to discuss anything that we usually discuss, okay?

It's a variant on the myth of the old hag.

The mora.

Well, in some versions it's mora, in others, mara, or night mara. Source of

word nightmare.

He said not to tell anyone at the hospital.

She was only trying to help.

We're trying to help.

Right. Trying to help.

So, um, the, um, old hag myth was... Sorry,

sorry. The old hag myth was the one where people believed that witches or

could assume various forms and ride around on people's chests while they

sleeping. Is that something weird?

Yeah, yeah. And then they would suck the life out of them. The mora are snake

-like. Creatures. Kind of hard to find out about because the myth was localized

in Eastern Europe. Died out in the mid -19th century.

Elmer, could these things be summoned or kept away?

I suppose.

I found two of these, each placed under the six -year -old girl's bed.

Appears to be some sort of fetish.

People get off on those?

No, Warren, it's a tribal fetish. It's a harm used for mythical purposes.

Like my lucky card.

I hope that's not what you feel is mystical.

So what are these made of?

Human hair, bits of human waste.

It was under the girl's bed last night.

Katerina Risevich believed that the Mora were attacking the girl. She had to be

restrained and moved to another room.

I don't believe she's going to live much longer.

Then it doesn't appear as protecting anybody.

But you found one under Amy's bed the night after the three men died.

I would have said someone might be attempting to frighten Kate Reesovich to

death. She hides her past.

No one knows what motivated the initial coronary episode.

But? I've seen them.

That night in the ICU in two of the patients.

Mark, be careful.

You're tired? You think he's not clear?

If you did see them, we don't know enough about, hell, any of this.

I got an emergency.

Would you hide that, please?

Be safe, Mark.

Oh, Mark, Dr.

Bauer is not answering his space. Can you assist?

He's in no condition for OR.

It's an aortic aneurysm. I have to open him immediately.

Awesome. Good.

Mark, if your father finds out... It's an emergency.

If Mark did see them, I would fall on the side that these things are

calling the war.

So we had better find all of these things and get rid of them.

Can you help me?

Can you help me?

What's the problem?

I heard the doctors talk about taking me into surgery.

Where am I?

You're having an OBE, an out -of -body experience.

Then when you're ready...

Head toward the bright light.

I'm not ready to die.

Your call, I guess.

Hey, good luck.

Mark,

we're going through the chest at the seventh inner space.

We're going to stabilize the aorta at the diaphragm.

Wait. Can't wait.

Oh, lots of blood.

Sponge compression.

Mark, direct digital compression.

We should clamp that.

Yeah, we'll do it.

Oh!

Mark, secure the clamp.

Did you see that? Mark, secure the clamp!

What's going on?

Why?

And there's one ability I wish I had. It might be that I could take this all

away for him.

It makes his life so hard.

It makes him so unhappy.

I wish I'd found the time to have kids.

I'm Mark's father, William Gabriel.

Pleasure to meet you, sir.

We've met. I'm sorry.

But he needs rest.

Could you come back during visiting hours?

Yes, yes.

We're sorry. I didn't mean any harm.

We, uh...

Let me just think the world of you, son.

Take care of him.

I will.

What kind of a hospital is this where the doctors are patients?

How do you feel?

The result's negative?

We have to run some more tests.

Fibrous mass is inconsistent in its cross -sections.

Here.

Dorsal to the optic chiasm.

It should be perceptible in the next frame, but it isn't. So it could be a

phantom magnetic image.

Or it's alive.

Everyone, sorry I'm late.

I was visiting Mark at the hospital and I got so caught up after that on

Rosamond's concordance with philotic folklore, I... Understandable.

Yeah, you know how it goes.

Okay, here we are.

So, um, material objects are invested with mystical significance in virtually

every society, right?

Perhaps it's only a vestige of primal paganism, but for all the Bible's

about idolatry, even Christian cultures can't seem to resist a little voodoo now

and again.

Miles, I'm an old man.

Oh, right, right, right, right. All right, well, grizzly little talismans

as this, knit from human hair, incorporating various herbs, bits of

matter, were once very familiar in parts of Eastern Europe. In fact, the English

word talisman actually comes from the Russian, talisman.

You can see the old world craftsmanship. Man.

Hey, this one looks like a giraffe.

Very much.

You know, the janitor sounded like he spoke Russian.

Do you think maybe he and Kate could have known each other from the old

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.

The guy's got it in for her. Some ancient family grudge or something, so

brings a curse down on the entire hospital.

His name?

Peter Nezvitsky.

And he hasn't shown up at the hospital since I stumbled on his stash.

Got his address from the personnel department.

Anybody learn more about Katerina Risović?

Well, that spelling of Risović is uncommon in the Ukraine. Just a few

from the region south of Kiev have the surname.

Now, there was a famous Bolshoi ballerina by that name, but this was in

Russia. Also, I did find one, Katerina Risović -Vilon.

In her 70s, but lives in Paris.

So, yeah.

Sent the family an email.

Anyway. Oh, one more thing.

Marion called the caretaker at Kate's adult residence. Told her she wanted to

pick up some stuff for Kate. So they're meeting at Kate's apartment tonight.

Now, maybe Marion could, you know, find some insurance papers or... Hey.

They spell live.

Or evil backwards.

Whoa.

How's he doing?

Well, he's been sleeping, so that's good, I guess.

He looks kind of pale. Has he been eating?

I don't know. You're looking better.

Thank you.

I'm lucky.

They were about to throw me out.

And now I get to leave tomorrow.

My friend Mark is looking worse.

He's been very good to me, Dr. Gabriel.

Are you afraid he's going to die?

Death is not something that I'm afraid of.

Does anything frighten you?

Losing my soul.

Are you afraid to die?

There are some things, questions in life that have to be answered before I die.

Like? Tell me about the mora.

The mora?

I don't know what that is.

You do.

My friend has one inside.

In a few days, a surgeon is going to cut into his brain.

Take off these straps, and I will tell you all I know.

Then I can't tell you.

Ah, bonjour, Marion. Très bien.

What am I doing?

I'm sorry, it's Miles. I'm sitting here typing in French.

Look, Marion, I'm glad I caught you.

I'm online with André Villand, the grandson of Katrina Rizovic in Paris.

He is sending me some fascinating information on the Reesovich family. If

case related, it might come in handy.

Hello.

Are you Mrs.

Nesvitsky?

We'd like to speak with your husband.

Could we do that?

Yes.

Do you speak Russian?

Um... Maybe you could translate for us?

No.

We're members of a psychic support group.

Come in.

He's drunk.

Drunk since he quit the job.

So... Hoping to find insurance information, social security card,

Believe me, I know all about hospital bureaucracy.

How is Kate?

She's better, I think.

Oh, I'm glad to hear that.

We lose so many of our residents.

Has Kate lived here long?

Oh, yes, since before I was hired, and I've been here ten years.

She's our oldest tenant.

You like calls?

No.

This is the only one channel we get.

In Russia, we had two channels.

You are the reason he quit.

What? He ashamed to go back.

You find this stupid little talisman.

Oh.

Well?

What was he doing spreading these around the hospital?

Three people died in hospital.

The talisman guards the sick.

Petya felt that... They are bringer of

death.

So these are protective charms.

They're not calling the mora.

He worried about the little girl, Amy.

What do you want?

I want my friend to get better.

I can't do anything about that.

Tell me about the mora.

I told you, I don't know anything about that.

If you won't tell me, I'll have to bring them here before you leave tomorrow.

Tell me about the mora.

They won't hear you.

Please.

Please.

Don't.

Don't bring the mora. They follow me.

No. No. I don't want to die.

See what you've done? Now your friend is going to die.

They're already in him.

You've done this.

I made you bring them here.

Then you will die.

No, I'm not afraid to die.

come to life. Your desire to live at any cost.

That's all Amora is.

All it ever was.

No. Or leave.

Why is this room locked?

Your desire to live is so strong you drained life from others.

From the weaker, the sick, to sustain your own.

I fought Amora to try to save that little girl, Amy.

Caring about Amy?

You didn't want to steal her life.

Only you can stop the case.

Who are you?

Open the door!

I am in mud.

No.

You didn't know you had the power?

But that's why until now only you could see them.

Mark is an impasse. Open the door! He felt your fear.

He saw your fear.

And it grew within him.

But I don't want to die.

I have a son. I left behind all these years. I could never find him.

I need to know that he's all right.

I can't go until I know he's all right.

He's all right.

You will see him on the other side.

I love life.

What is this?

You knew nothing about this world before you entered it. Why do you fear the

next? Get out of this room immediately.

Katerina, you've lived a full life.

Death is not the end.

I wish I could believe.

Believe me.

What are you doing here?

Kate, I'm sorry. I didn't expect you out so soon. I was just trying to help.

It doesn't matter now.

Well, do they know you left the hospital? Did they release you?

I just want to be in my own bed.

I hope you don't mind. I was just... It was so fascinating. This woman, the

ballerina, Katerina Risović, is that your mother?

How to describe to dance before thousands, all looking at your every

It's as if you held on to their heart, to their soul.

I was good.

It brought them much joy, you know.

Well, this can't be you.

Well, I was much prettier in person.

But you'd have to be...

Over 110 years old.

Still.

It is over so fast.

It was beautiful.

Madness. Revolution.

What could I do?

The world I knew was gone.

And you never found out what happened to him? I was afraid.

I had no right.

Left him behind, my own flesh and blood. My only child.

I have done so much since then, but always still I

think about him.

Well, he remembered you.

He named his daughter after you.

And she had four children of her own and ten grandchildren.

And some of them have kids.

They live mostly in France now.

Results are completely negative.

Must have been a phantom image.

That wouldn't account for your actual illness.

Why?

More things in heaven than earth.

Listen.

I know that you don't believe that.

And it's all right.

It's all right that you don't.

But allow me to believe.

I was terrified, Mark.

We're physicians.

We believe death is a failure.

I think... that I know... it's...

Well, I want to give you a hug, too, but there's a lot of breakable stuff in

here, so... Yeah, well, it's the thought that counts.

We've come to take you home.

Mark, did you see if anybody picked up Kate last night?

How did she get home from the hospital?

Marion... Because she showed up at her place while I was going through her

stuff, and it was kind of embarrassing. I wish somebody would have warned me.

Marion, Kate never left the hospital.

She died in her sleep last night.

I saw the orderlies take her body out of the room this morning.

I'm sorry.
