.

- I'm doing my first
EMT ride-along today.

Joyce makes all the nurses
do them

so we better understand
the patient experience.

I'm a little nervous.

It's basically my normal job
but while running red lights.

Bruce and Matty
hitting the road.

- Yeah, when I heard
Matty's number got called,

I knew I had to tag along.

I used to do these
back when I was a young cub,

and they were always insane.

- Oh, awesome.

- Yeah, a friend in med school
had to reattach

a guy's thumb right there
on the highway median.

Hmm.
- Wow.

- Yeah, added about
1/8 of an inch in length.

- Is that-why's that good?

- Well, guy's got
a longer thumb now.

Yeah, this is where heroes
are born,

war stories immortalized.

Today it's our turn, man.
- Oh.

- Strap in.

- Awesome.

Oh, should I take a Dramamine?

I've never looked backwards
in a car before.

- [sighs]

[upbeat music]

? ?

- [straining] Push!

Oh!
Welcome to Earth.

[chuckles]
Oh, you lucky little baby.

You just plopped out

into St. Denis'
new birthing center.

If that was gross,
leave it out.

We are excited
because we are about to hire

our new head midwife.

She's gonna be the face
of this whole operation.

And to help me,
I have Alex here

as my trusted right-hand man.

- Uh, woman.

- Yeah, we're not

at the Democratic
National Convention, Alex.

It's fine.
- You know what?

I would just like to say,
Joyce, I am very proud of you.

You've worked really hard
to get here.

- Oh, well, preach.
- [chuckles]

- The delays, the setbacks,
the failed inspection-

we are bleeding money.

- Wait, really?
- Oh, yeah.

Sometimes when I take a bath,

I slide down into the water,

and I think,
I'm never coming up.

- Well, that's not good.
- Yeah.

- OK, we're gonna put you
on a 10-day course of this,

and you will be right as rain.

Can we monitor him for a few
minutes before discharging?

- Sure.

Oh, can I have my pen back?

- What pen?

Oh, this?

This is mine.

- No, that's my pen.

- No, it is my pen.

And it has the best click.

- The best click, exactly.

- And that smooth ink bleed.
- It doesn't smudge.

I know, because it's my pen.

- Well, I know
my pen very well.

- I've had that pen for weeks.
- Months.

- It's got a B on the side.
- It has got a B on the side,

and the rest is smudged out.

I know this
because it is my pen.

When working in a hospital
like this with limited supplies

and worn-out equipment,

to actually
find something that works,

it's like a ray of sunshine.

So when I am using this pen,
I am my best self.

Here, bring the mic closer.

[pen clicking]
Ah.

[pen clicking]
So good.

[pen clicking]

Like butter.

- Well, you've delivered
thousands of babies.

That's amazing.

- Mm-hmm.
Well, I'm a hard worker.

And I bounce from farm to farm.

- Sorry, farm to farm?

- I mostly deliver
pigs and goats.

- And how many humans?

- How many humans what?

- I encourage all my mothers
to eat the placenta.

- Oh, yum.
- Hmm.

- Also the umbilical cord.

- You-can you eat that?

- Oh, yeah.

You can pretty much eat
anything that falls out.

- Double yum.
[chuckles]

- Can I smoke in here?

- Sorry, I don't move
as well as I used to.

- Oh.
[chuckles]

- Or do I?

- Oh! [laughs]
Wow. OK.

Come on over.
- Yeah.

- Take a seat.
We'll-we'll talk a little bit.

- I can't.

- So I made a late-in-life
career change,

and I've been assisting
over at the clinic in Drayton

for the past 16 months.

- Nice, Mel.
All right.

And it says here
that you are a man.

- Oh, yeah.
- Great.

- Yeah, I like to call myself
a mid-husband.

- Sounds like most husbands.

- Yeah.
- I guess.

- That's great.

- I don't know
what the problem is.

- You just don't have enough
human experience.

- You know what?

A pig's vagina
and a human's vagina

are nearly identical.

You can barely tell
the difference.

- I think we could probably
tell the difference.

- OK.

What's that?

- That is a human vagina.

- Wrong, pig.

Oh, wait.

OK, that is a-

that is a human vagina.

- Yeah, the tan lines
kind of gave it away.

- [sighs]
So many lives saved in here

and many more lost,

right where we're sitting.

[sniffs]
Mm, smell of death in the air.

- That's just an air freshener.

I click it onto the vent
right here.

- OK, let's just go.
Let's hit it, guys.

- You gotta buckle up.

- Uh, nah, we'll raw dog it,
you know?

Gotta be ready to leap out.

- I'll normal dog it.
- Not me, bud.

I eat danger.

Come on, let's go!

- We can't leave
until you buckle up.

- What? Seriously?
Oh, my God.

Uh...[clears throat]

OK, uh, we're all good
back here.

- I gotta hear the click.

- OK.
There you go.

Let's go.
Hit the lights.

- We can't.

We had a whole meeting
about it.

- Let's play some music, then.
- Nope.

Too distracting.

- [sighs]

[indistinct chatter]

- Hey, guys, has anybody seen
a white pen

with a faded B
on the side?

- Hey, can we order
more 2x2 gauze?

- Let's handle the yell-outs
as they come in, OK?

- Has anyone seen
my picture of Linda?

- Why would anyone steal
a picture of your wife?

- That's what's
got me concerned.

- Shh.
Quiet.

[pen clicking]

You took my pen!

- I took my pen.

- Did you take
the picture of Linda?

- No.
Why would I do that?

- Yeah.

That's the puzzle.

- OK, this next r�sum�
looks really good, though.

Um, you know,
she's got an advanced degree

and great references.

- Oh.
Experience with human babies.

- Yeah, mm-hmm.
- Proficient in Excel.

- Yeah, fingers crossed.
[knock at door]

OK.
[clears throat]

Hi there.
Nice to meet you.

- Hi.
- Welcome. Come on in.

I'm Alex.
- No!

Way!

What a small world.

Ashley Lawrence, that's you?

[chuckling] Of course it is.

- Hey, Joyce. Hi.
- Look at ya!

[laughs]

Alex, Ashley is dating
Sanderson, my former fianc�.

- Oh, no.

- And they met
right in front of me.

How are you, girlfriend?

- I'm good.
- Mm.

- Uh, thank you so much
for having me.

I hope this isn't too weird.

- Weird? No.

If anything, it's weird
that it's not weird.

- Oh.
- [laughs]

- Well, then I guess
it is weird, then.

- Oh, she's funny too.

- I see that.
- Yay! Yay!

[laughing]

- Oh, that's fun.

.

- OK, years of experience
and a CNM degree from Michigan.

That's one of the best programs
in the country.

- Oh, top program.
- Yeah.

- Ain't none higher.
- [chuckles]

- Yeah, I valued my time there.

But to be honest,
I didn't lock into midwifery

until I started working
with actual mothers.

- Mm-hmm. Smart and passionate.
- Yeah.

- I can see why Sanderson
likes you.

- Oh.
[both chuckle]

- He is a great guy, isn't he?

- Yeah, he is.
- Mm-hmm.

- OK, um, so this- this period
at the Merrick Family-

- Although I could do without
him eating all of his meals

over the sink.

- Oh, my gosh, right?

And then he's like,
the sink is a natural trough.

- [gasps] Oh, my-

[laughs] A natural trough.

[laughter]

And how about how he's
always late for dates?

Be on time for once, buddy.

- [laughs] Yeah.

Well, I haven't really
noticed that, but...

- [scoffs]

Well, who would
keep you waiting?

A beauty like you?
You are beautiful.

- OK.

- Toned.

You got quite a body on you.

I like it.
- Joyce...

- I like it.
- I don't think we need

to talk about Ashley's-
- Oh, do you not like it?

- No. I don't-I don't-
- No, you know, thank you.

In my line of work,
I see lots of bodies,

and to me,
they're all beautiful, so...

- I rate every woman I've
ever met on a 10-point scale.

I'm disgusting.
[chuckles]

What-what do you-
how would you rate me?

- OK, I think we're good here.

Yeah? All right.
Thank you for coming in.

- Thank you.
- OK.

We're good for the day, yeah.

- I think we really have
a great

professional relationship.

- Oh, pure class.

Ashley...

[with deep voice] I love you.

[chuckles]

[normally]
So you go take care of yourself

and stay near that phone, OK?

[chuckles]

Wow, yuck!

She is weird!

[scoffs]

- All right, urgent call.

We're first on the scene.
We gotta move.

On me!
Go! Go, go!

All right.
Whoa!

- Hey!
- Ah!

- Patient's actually over here.

- Oh.
- Hey. Bee sting.

I thought I was allergic,
but I think I'm OK.

- All right.

We should probably get
that stinger out, though, huh?

- Oh.

Yeah, it's much higher
on this side.

Yo!
- OK, One, two-oh!

- Matt!

- Looks like it fell out
already.

- Oh.
- OK, ice pack or no ice pack?

- Matt!
- Ice pack.

- Good call.

- Oh, the wall's
super wet, guys.

[groans]

Damn it.
I lost a shoe in the mud.

Matt, I need you to get me
some new sneakers.

- That faded B on the side,

I bet you don't know
what it used to say.

- Banking and Loan
of East Oregon.

- Ooh, fast answer-and wrong.

[chuckles] Brittleston Dental.
That's where I go.

- The guy who was using too
much nitrous on his patients?

- Uh, no.
- Knocking them out

and taking pictures
of them naked?

- Ron, I am so sorry.

- It didn't happen.

I was given that pen,
unmolested,

as a reward for not
needing sunglasses

during my last cleaning.

- I was at the bank counter.

Teller gave me the stink eye.

She turned her back,
and I ripped this

right off its chain.

- You're lying about the bank.

- You're lying
about the dentist.

- Ashley is the winner here.

And I know it might be
a little bit uncomfortable,

but if you want my opinion,
she's the-

- Uncomfortable?
No.

I broke up with Sanderson.

I'm fine.
- OK, great.

Then let's hire her.

- Except I just-
I don't think she's a good fit.

And if I had a gun
to my head right now,

I think I'd have to pick,
um, Mel.

- Mel?
- Yeah.

- OK.
Well, he's not as experienced.

- Not as experienced?
- [laughs]

- Oh, I see
what's going on here.

You have a problem with Mel
because he's a man.

Sorry, Alex, but I think
that's very prejudiced.

- What are you talking about?

- Val, um, does the idea

of a male midwife
seem weird to you?

- Yup.
- No. Try again, Val.

That is sexist!
- I'm OK with that.

- OK, well, what about
a midwife who's obsessed

with pig vaginas?

'Cause that's
our second choice.

- How is that
our second choice?

- Fine! You know what?
They were all bad.

We'll do it again
in a couple months.

- You would delay
the opening again?

Joyce, you just got everything
back on schedule.

I thought we were
bleeding money.

- Well, we'll just have to cut
corners in other departments

and tighten our belts.

- You are letting
a personal issue

affect everyone
who works here.

- Watch it, Alex!

You're overstepping!

- We're lucky.

Hasn't been too bad so far.

- Uh, it's been very bad, Matt.
- Really?

It's been pretty calm,
pretty easy.

- Exactly!

We've been stuck with a bunch
of boring duds-

bee stinger man,
the lady who just had to fart,

some guy faking heatstroke.

- I'm not faking.

- Uh, it's cloudy
and 65 degrees outside.

- Scattered clouds.

- You know,
sometimes that makes

the bright spots seem hotter.

- Matt, I swear to God.

[ambulance rumbles]

- You really should buckle up.

- Is he not buckled up?

- I am buckling!

I'm buckled!
Oh, my God.

[knock at door]
- Hey.

- Alex, I'm sorry.

We need to spend
some time apart.

- Well, we can't.
- We can.

I'm asking you to go back
to work, please.

- We can't, because Mel
and Ashley are waiting outside.

I brought them back
for a second interview.

- Are you insane?

- Joyce, I'm here
for a reason, OK?

- Yeah, to take notes.
- No.

- I keep wanting you
to do that.

- I-
- But I see no notes.

- No, I'm here because
you trust me, all right?

And deep down,
I think you know

that these
are our best options.

- OK, deep down, I really
want you to kiss my butt!

I did not want this.
- Joyce, just calm down...

- Alex, I do not want them here.
- Before you open the door.

[door clicks]
- Hey.

- Hey.
- Come on in.

- [chuckles]

- 32, 33, and 34.

Bingo.
I got this.

- Hello? Ma'am?
- Ma'am?

Ma'am, we're here to help you.

- Uh, this woman's
Life Alert went off.

Not really sure
what we're getting into.

- All right, ma'am,
can you unlock the door?

- Oh, I'm stuck on the ground!

- All right, we're gonna have
to bust through this thing.

On me, boys.

- We're supposed to call
the fire department.

- Listen, I'm not gonna
sit around and wait

for a bunch of flame chasers
to swoop in

and be the heroes here.

[snaps fingers]
Look.

All right,
I can walk along this ledge,

climb through that window,

and unlock the door
from the inside.

- Bruce.
- I'll be fine.

If we don't act now,
we might lose her.

- I think I'll be all right.

- Save your strength, ma'am.

You need food.
You need water.

- Well, I fell pretty close
to my cat's water bowl.

- What?
Just shh.

God. Come on, Matt.

You're gonna make this lady
drink cat water?

- I'm not in charge here.

- I am!

We wait
for the fire department.

- All right, well, Dave,
you're the boss.

So I guess we wait.

- What the-
Hey! Don't do that.

- I wish I had a choice.
[exhales]

- What the hell
are you doing, man?

- Suck it, Dave!

Some of us are heroes.

- All right.
All right.

- What?
Why is this window locked?

- Uh, I guess so people
don't walk along the ledge

and try to break in.

- Well, it's gonna take more
than a locked window

to stop Bruce.
[chuckles]

Oh, two locked windows?

Are you kidding me?

All right, what if I-

Whoa! God.

OK, wow.

It's pretty high up, actually.

- You OK, Bruce?
- Huh? Yeah.

I might take a step
back towards you.

OK?
- OK.

- Whoa! God.

All right, great.
Good first step.

That was great.

.

- Could you walk back?
- Oh, nah.

Body's not working.

I'm not scared.

You know, just a rational
physical reaction

to the potential consequence
of a fall.

- All right, well,
you're gonna be fine.

- Yeah, unless I fall.

- Yeah.

- Hey!

Neighbor had a key.

Firefighters are on their way.
We're gonna circle back.

- OK.
Great. All good.

- And the leg's not broken!

Just a knee sprain!

- Oh, cool.

Happy ending.

- Nice to meet you!

- No, Matt,
what are you doing? Stop.

- Nah, it's OK.
I'm fine with heights.

- Wow, yeah.

Actually, you made that
look easy.

- Yeah, used to climb up silos,
clean them out.

- Oh, so you had
an advantage, then.

- Yeah. Plus, I had an uncle
who fell to his death.

And what are the odds
that happens to two guys

in the same family?

OK, take my hand.

- No!
I'll pull you down.

You'll kill us both.
- OK.

- Well, here we are,
side by side,

like we all wanted.

- I'm so happy to be here.

- Sorry, I was mid-remark.

Um, like we all wanted, OK?

Mel, what do you prioritize?

The health of the baby,
the health of the mother,

or both?

- Ooh, that's a toughie.

Uh, I guess I'd say both.

- Oh, I would definitely
say both too.

- OK, well,
Mel has dibs on both,

so you need to pick
something else.

- Oh.
- Mother or baby?

- Uh, I guess I'd
prioritize the mother.

- OK, so the baby
is not as important.

- Joyce, come-
I'm pretty sure that Ashley

is also allowed to say both.

- OK, Ashley,
what's your greatest weakness?

- I guess I'd say
work-life balance.

I tend to pour my whole heart
into the moms I take care of.

- Hmm.

- Mel, hit me
with your greatest strength.

- Online poker.

But it's also
my, uh, greatest weakness.

- We got a blocked airway
in 103!

- Emergency trach?

- Looking like it.

I gotta make
an alternative airway.

Uh, I need-
give me a pen or something!

- A pen?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Let's go!
Let's go!

- Shouldn't you be rushing in?

- Yeah, I'm gonna rush in,
but I need the pen first.

- Hmm.
- [clears throat]

If you don't give me that pen,
I'm gonna take it.

- You can try, but if you touch
this pen, I'm gonna scream.

- You're not gonna scream.

- [shrieks]
- [yells]

- [sighs]
This is so embarrassing.

I was supposed
to be the hero today,

and now I'm being rescued?

All because I'm...

well, not scared,
you know, just jammed up.

- Hey, I get scared
all the time.

- Jammed up, I said.

- I'm just trying to tell you,
people already

look up to you, you know?

People already
see you as a hero.

You don't have
to walk around pretending

to be brave all the time.

- [scoffs] Oh, I walk
around pretending?

What about you?

- Hey, why are you mad at me?

- It's called
lashing out, Matt.

- I'm trying to help.

- Yeah, well,
you're the pretender.

You are.

Oh, I'm so scared
of an ambulance.

I'm so scared of life.

I'm scared to pursue Serena.

- What?
Serena? I don't-

I don't like her
like that anymore, man.

- Matty.
- I don't. I don't.

- Matty. Hey.
- We're friends.

- You can lie to the world.

You can lie to yourself.

But don't lie to Bruce,

not right before we both
fall to our deaths.

- What does it matter, anyway?

We're clearly not a match.
- Stop that.

Enough with the sad-sack act.

You know, I'll admit,
you had me fooled.

I used to think you were weak,
too, in body and mind.

But look at you.
Your mind is strong.

You crushed it today.

And now you're out here
risking your life,

all for the sake
of your mentor and role model?

You're strong, Matt.

And we can work on the body.

- OK.

- The point is,
if you're feeling jammed up

about Serena,

maybe take a walk on that ledge.

- Huh.

- All right, let's play
some word association.

I want to just see
how your brain works, OK?

Mel, pregnancy.

- Baby.
- Bull's-eye.

Ashley, Jeffrey Epstein.
- No, sorry.

Please don't answer that.
Ashley-

- To be clear, I-
I was gonna say bad.

- Well, that's pretty mild
for what he did.

- Joyce, I'm sor-
can we-just listen.

I'm gonna ask you both
the only question

that actually matters-

why should the women
who come here

trust you with their babies?

- This is my passion,
my calling.

The health of our community
starts at birth.

I really believe that.

And I know that's a cornerstone
of Joyce's vision.

I will do everything
in my power

to make sure that the mothers
who come here

feel safe and loved.

- Same.

Plus, I'm punctual.

[gulping]

Ah.

.

- I mean, Ashley's
last answer was perfect.

- And Mel said, same.

Plus, the punctual thing?

- OK, he was 15 minutes late
to his interview.

- This birthing center
is my baby.

I don't go in and tell you how
to parent Ella and your son,

whose name is what?

It can't be Cheddar, can it?
- All right.

Will you just admit it, OK?

Admit that your judgment
is clouded.

- Of course it's clouded.

OK? Are you happy?

It hurts, Alex.

I know I broke up
with Sanderson, but I-

I don't know if I can
see her every day.

- Joyce, I know.
OK?

I know it hurts,
but this is your baby.

And that's why you have
to listen to your heart.

You know, when it comes
to Ella and Cheddar-

Luke-I don't know
why that happened.

When it comes to our babies,
there's nothing

that is too hard or too awful
to endure for their sake.

Listen, that is my opinion,
but it is your decision.

- [sighs]

- [clears throat]

- What's the game this time?

- Serena, can I please
have the pen?

- Ew, what's going on?

- That pen helps me.

And I, uh, would like to ask,

would you help me?

- Fine.

That's all you had to say.

- Really?

- No, but the emotions
are awkward,

and I'd like
to put this behind us.

- Oh, yeah, well, I-I really
appreciate it.

And, uh, by all means, finish.

- No.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

- What? What?
- It's out of ink.

Here, you try.
- What?

Come on, baby, don't die on me!

Don't-oh damn!

This place, man.

- I'm sorry, Ron.

- [sighs]

Just a moment of silence.

- This is the right decision.

- Hello.

- Mel.

Got some spectacular news.
- Oh, wow.

Honestly, I didn't think
I had a chance.

You know, Ashley was
just so impressive.

- She was. She-
- Yeah.

- She certainly was.

- Yeah.

Joyce?
- Sorry, I, um-

I was just thinking,
this whole thing

has taken so many years
of my life,

and it's a huge decision.

And now
it's down to just you.

- I'm just so thrilled.
- And Ashley.

- Wait.
So you haven't chosen me yet?

So-I'm sorry-
I don't have the job?

- No, you do. You do.
- Great.

- Uh, if we choose you.

- I'm-I'm confused.

Have you chosen me?
- We have.

- OK, good. Amazing!
- Not.

Um, but you're still
in the mix.

And it is looking
pretty good.

- Great, 'cause I just
really need this job, Joyce.

- Unless you
don't get the job.

- Why are you doing this?
- Which...

- Why are you
doing this, Joyce?

- Is unfortunately
what is happening here.

- Oh, Jesus Christ.
- I don't think we can

make this work, unless we can.

- Thank you.
- No, we can't.

I'm sorry about this.

- No.
- I'm really sorry.

I'm gonna send you $1,000.

- Yes!
- No, I'm not.

- [groans]
- Bye, Mel.

- Please, no!
- Goodbye.

Ashley is going to be amazing.

And it says a lot about her
that she had the guts

to ask her boyfriend's
ex-fianc�e for a job.

[chuckles] But in a way,
it says even more about me

that I had the confidence
and maturity to hire her.

Tough job, though,
head midwife-

uh, always on call.

It's rough on a relationship.

But yeah,
she's gonna be amazing.

- Not what I was expecting.

I didn't save a patient.

No glory was won.

Or was it?

Yeah, I think I just
changed Matt's life,

set him on a new course.

So when you think about it,
who rescued who?

In a way, I guess you could say
we all rescued each other.

- Hey, you walking,
or are you getting on?

- No, I'll go by the book
on this one.

All right. [grunts]
- Ooh.

[mellow music]

Hey, you gotta
buckle up, man.

- Yeah, eat me, Dave.
