NIC: Her kidneys are failing.

So my kidneys will never work again?

The drug trial did irreversible damage.

(SOBBING)

I will have a triple transplant
and make history.

Maybe even come here as an intern.

I can't think of anything more amazing.

BELL: Red Rock Mountain Medical

is the top health care
conglomerate in the southeast.

We don't need Chastain.

We will be stronger together.

We have to keep fighting.

The risk is pretty low for the donor.

Anybody need a kidney around here?

Thank you, Dad.

Dad.

NIC: Mm.

Black-eyed Susans are my favorite.

Remember that time you ran away
from our family picnic?

Must've been, like, four or five.

Yeah.

Mom and Dad were frantic,

but I knew where to find you.

Here.

Dad was so sweet that day.

He... he was crying
when he picked me up, and...

I... I remember

I was so happy in his arms.

I keep trying to rewind the clock.

There must have been something
I could have done differently.

Remember what I told you, Nic?

This is not your fault.

Welcome to another rewarding day
under the heel

of Red Rock Mountain Medical.

(GRAVELLY VOICE): "Red Rock, Red Rock."

How's Nic?

UH, THE SAME: not good.

We're all worried about her.

We miss her.

How can we help?

(SIGHS) She'll be here this
morning for her dad's post-op.

I'll talk to her.

Sounds good.

(DOOR OPENS)

Where's Jonah?

I took my eyes off him

for two seconds and he disappeared.

You know, he's probably hiding somewhere.

He's afraid of needles.

How much do you expect to make

with this new neurosurgery center?

A steady churn
of high-risk invasive brain

and spine procedures generates
half a billion a year.

And this new neurosurgeon
you want to have...

he's a rainmaker?

He was at his last hospital.

He will be if he comes here.

- When are you seeing him?
- Lunch today.

He won't commit to Chastain

I'll work my charm.

Jessie!

Keep trying!

You ever gonna be able

I don't know.

This is where Jessie was killed.

No one killed Jessie, Dad.

She went into surgery
with a weakened heart

and died of a massive blood clot.

It's a known complication
that could happen to anyone.

Yeah, well,
I just want to see her records.

Get another opinion
on what caused her death.

Why?

They did the autopsy. I saw the results.

Yeah, we should just get an
expert to check it, that's all.

I... We may have a case
to bring a lawsuit.

Unbelievable.

Always looking for an angle,
even in your daughter's death.

No, I'm not looking for an angle.

And this is not about money.
But somebody here

- has to be held responsible.
- Jessie's gone.

And she's not coming back.
There's no point

in affixing blame. I mean,
I don't blame you, after all.

You... Me? What? Why would you?

I put my life on the line.
I donated a kidney.

Eventually.

It did no good.

So you blame me, because...

you're down a kidney
and Jessie still died.

- No, I don't.
- Yeah, you do.

You blame me because
I pushed for the surgery.

It was her only chance.
I did everything I could

- to protect her.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa, whoa.

Nic, I do not blame you.

Do the post-op on your own.
I-I got to take a walk.

I've imagined this moment so many times.

I-I can't believe it's real.

Last time I saw you, you were recovering

- from a triple transplant.
- Now I'm hoping

to match here, and become
a doctor at the hospital

- that saved my life.
- Well, you can learn a lot

from this guy. He's our top intern.

And soon he'll be a second-year resident

- with an intern of his own to torture.
- Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Don't do that.

(CONRAD CHUCKLES)

Now, Dr. Pravesh is gonna go over

all the additional safety precautions

you need to take
when you're around patients.

You do know that I've been dealing

with cystic fibrosis my entire life.

I'm kind of an expert

This woman has saved a lot of lives.

It's time we save hers.

I'll take the chest.

You got the abdomen.

Here, sit down.

Yes, ma'am.

I did triathlons with Annie.

I saw her once give up the lead
in a race just to help someone

who took a fall.

That's Annie.

Does she have any family
that we need to notify?

I'm not sure.

I know she got a divorce.

And then, not long after that,

her son died in a car accident.

(EXHALES)

God, that's awful.

MINA: Just ran the bowel.

No obvious injuries.

Shrapnel by the abdominal wall.

Well, I took out three
from the chest wall.

The last one I see is there.

Lodged into the aortic arch and
abutting the pulmonary artery.

- Of course.
- We pull this out, she might blow.

She might blow if we don't pull it out.

Well, she won't, because
you know what to do, right?

Yes, I do.

I'll clamp the proximal and distal aorta

Nice job. And pull on three.

Occipital-cervical dislocation.

What does that mean?

Internal decapitation.

It's when the spinal column is

he could end up a quadriplegic?

Not if I can help it. Rongeurs.

You're supposed to be meeting Dr. Cain.

Two of today's patients

Kit Voss just reattached that boy's head.

probably thought I was more likely to buy

They were right. (BOTH CHUCKLE)

Hey, I'm sorry I'm late.

We had a bit of an emergency
this morning.

Yeah, I heard about that. Is it true

that the proton beam therapy
facility is a total loss?

Yeah.

$220 million investment destroyed.

If I didn't know better,

I'd think Red Rock blew it up themselves.

(CHUCKLES) I was thinking
the same exact thing.

Proton beam therapy facilities...
they lose millions annually.

Well, when Chastain built it,

they had profit projections
way north of reality.

How far north?

- The arctic circle.
- (CHUCKLES)

And now Red Rock walks away
with a big insurance payout.

Where I grew up,
they call that insure and burn.

Or a stroke of good luck.

Except, of course, for the two
people who nearly died.

See anything that tempts you, Dr. Cain?

Most definitely.

I'll take that one.

Great choice.

I'll get the paperwork going.

This is gonna double its value
in five years.

And if it doesn't, is it still art?

Oh, it will. It will.

Lunch at the Provence Grill?

- On Red Rock Mountain Medical.
- Oh, well, in that case,

I'll have the oysters and...
more champagne.

I wish I could promise you it would.

When my sisters died,

I could hardly get out of bed

I do not want that to happen to you.

Every day, I wake up,

And she's never gonna be here again.

It's like there's a hole in your heart

My whole life, I had one job.

Take care of Jessie.

Okay, that was not your only job.

You take care of so many people.

No, I was not gonna say that.

What I was gonna say is that you...

you need your patients.

Work, Nic,

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

See the mother and child?

Think something's wrong.

- NIC: Hey.
- WOMAN: I know.

- You okay?
- Um...

It's my baby. She's been sick,
coughing and wheezing.

Well, let's get her in to see a doctor.

No. The last time I went into an ER,

it cost me $6,000.

The hospital sued me when I couldn't pay,

and now they're docking it
from my paycheck.

We can't live off what we have left.

I came here to have her seen

in the free clinic, but it was closed.

That's horrible.

So I've been waiting out here,
hoping Diana would get better.

She's wheezing badly.
We need to get her in there now.

Oh, it's okay.

- Come on.
- NIC: Come on.

Surgery was successful.

We're certain we got all the shrapnel.

CONRAD: How do you feel?

Like I just got split in half.

How are you doing?

That's typical Annie Diamonte.

Worried about everybody but yourself.

(SCOFFS)

I got a few bruises.

Small fracture of an ankle bone,
but it won't even need surgery.

We should stop talking.

You need your rest.

In the injury Olympics,
you solidly got me beat.

When can I go home,

Dr. Hawkins, do you think?

I'd rather not stay here
any longer than I have to.

What... like, what, a week or two?

(CRYING)

Temperature's 102.5.

(MONITORS BEEPING)

- Sats are back up in the 90s.
- Is she okay?

She has bilateral wheezes

and is using accessory muscles.
Likely an infection.

Labs are back.
Viral swab is positive for RSV.

Everyone put on a mask and gown.

DEVON: Eloise,

RSV is extremely dangerous

for people who have had
a lung transplant.

I'm aware. I'm gloved.
I'm gowned. I have a mask.

Can you all please stop coddling me

and treat me like any other sub-I?

No, because you aren't any other sub-I.

This has gone on long enough.

Please leave.

Now.

DEVON: Dr. Feldman's right.

I'll come find you when I'm done here.

Right lower lobe infiltrate,
and her white blood cell count

and procalcitonin are up.

I'm afraid she might have
developed a bacterial pneumonia.

Oh, God, I'm so sorry. What did I do?

DEVON: Even with continuous nebs,

her respiratory rate is still in the 40s.

We might need to intubate.

Let's get her
on IV ceftriaxone and azithro,

and let's get her to the PICU now.

What?

(CRYING CONTINUES)

So, it looks like RSV
plus a bacterial pneumonia.

Probably strep,
if I were to put my money on it.

The most common bacterial pathogen

- in children her age.
- Not bad.

You know your stuff.

My expertise in infection control

is only surpassed
by my encyclopedic knowledge

- of lung disease.
- Cystic fibrosis will do that.

ELOISE: Sure will.

Some of your antirejection meds
will cause that tremor.

Goes away over time.

Shouldn't be a problem by intern year.

Look, I'm sorry that Dr. Feldman
was harsh back there,

but it is our job to keep you safe.

This is my body and my life.

I'm not anybody's kid to protect.

Safety isn't my main priority.

I go white water rafting
every chance I get.

I even go skydiving.

You're not scared?

Course I'm scared.

Every time I cough,
I think about rejection.

But I want to live, and that means risk.

What you all need to remember is

I'm a doctor in training now,
not your patient.

I couldn't understand
what was going on in the ER.

What's wrong?

I promise you she's in great hands.

She has RSV and bacterial pneumonia.

She needs oxygen, antibiotics

- and fluids.
- I can't believe I let it get this bad.

- If only I...
- It's not your fault.

You were put in an impossible situation.

The system is broken.

Yeah.

- You the mom?
- Yeah.

You can come in now.

She's doing better.

Thank you.

Hmm. If the clinic were still open,

we could have treated her daughter

with antibiotics and avoided all of this.

Red Rock cut the funding.

You can't run a clinic without money.

Mm-hmm. But if you came back,
we could find the money.

One way or another.

I can't do it alone,

but we can together, Nic.

CONRAD: Yeah, it's palinopsia.

She's continuing to see something

after it's no longer there.

Very common after head trauma.

Don't tell me we got this woman
through a fire,

an explosion
and a life-threatening injury

only to find out she has a brain tumor.

♪ ♪

NIC: I just heard.

Annie has a brain tumor?

(SIGHS)

I'm so sorry.

How bad is it?

Well, she has
a posterior cortical lesion,

a small hemorrhagic component and edema.

That accounts for her new symptoms.

No signs of cancer anywhere else. Yet.

So it might not be metastatic.

The radiologist couldn't be certain.

We need to see the pathology report.

Cain is certain he can remove all of it.

AUSTIN: What? He can't know that

can we be sure he got it all

Haste usually isn't a virtue in surgery.

Especially on the brain.

He's trusting a resident

he's never met to close, unsupervised.

I wonder if he even cares
about the pathology report.

His job is done, guys.

Is that thing in my head?

You know none of this would've

Just for our top doctors.

How lovely for you all.

- No, I'm not.

I'm inviting you now.

I want you to meet Cain
and get to know him.

Do you like him?

He's impressive by any measure.
So far, I like him very much.

I just... I want him beside me
as your advocate.

I need an advocate?

Yes.

Because I don't bill enough.

If... It doesn't matter
what the reason is.

I know your value as a doctor
and as a friend.

And your place at Chastain
will always be secure

as long as I'm CEO.

I would just like you to have
this man as an ally.

I'll pick you up at 6:00.

Looking very distinguished
with your cane.

(CHUCKLES)

Thank you.

Small consolation on a rough day.

What did Annie's pathology report say?

It's melanoma.

(SIGHS)

Which means Annie probably
has Stage IV cancer.

God, I'm so sorry.

Not exactly one for the win column.

Cain already broke the news

that she has a terminal diagnosis.

I'll at least give the guy
credit for doing that.

Annie.

Mm-hmm.

It is so good to see you.

This is Nic Nevin. She's been with me,

following your case throughout the day.

I just wanted to say thank you so much

for everything you did during the fire.

Oh, it's nothing that you
wouldn't have done in my place.

Is there anything that we can do for you?

How are your spirits?
That's what we want to know.

It's crazy, but my spirits
are really good.

You know, after talking to Dr. Cain,

I feel like the luckiest
unlucky person ever.

- What did he say?
- Well, he said if I hadn't

have been in the basement
and gotten injured,

it's possible they might not
have caught my cancer in time.

What did Dr. Cain say about what's ahead?

Well, if this was a few years ago,

he would've been arranging hospice care.

But today, with all the drugs
for melanoma,

I could be around for decades to come.

That's true. Immunotherapy has
had great success with melanoma,

and they're always coming out
with new things.

And Dr. Cain said
I just need to be positive.

- Fight through it, right?
- Right.

I don't want to think about death

any more than I already have.

Conrad told me you lost your son.

I'm very sorry.

Yeah.

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

That's when I stopped racing.

I see it was a big mistake now.

Y-You can't stop living your life

just 'cause someone you love
has lost theirs.

You got to remember the good times.

Get rid of the bad times and go on.

I'm gonna compete again real soon.

I'm just gonna fight to get well

and fight through the chemo.

And you know who's gonna be
with me right through it?

My son.

Because, you see, he...

he never really left me.

He just came to live here,

in my heart.

BELL: Wow.

His office has a better view than mine.

KIT: And what does that tell you?

That he bills 80 million a year.

You're kidding.

You didn't tell me that.

Well, if I had, you wouldn't be here.

You know as well as I do that anyone

- who bills that much runs multiple ORs
- Shh, shh.

- At the same time, overtreats,
- Okay. Okay.

Has side deals with device companies.

Okay, okay. So I shouldn't have
told you, just don't start.

This-this is the reality
of health care today.

We'll fight it when necessary,

we'll accommodate when possible,

and we'll deal with it to survive.

Barrett.

I would like you to meet our
very best orthopedic surgeon

and my good friend, Dr. Kit Voss.

I'm glad to finally meet you.

What you pulled off... saving a child

who suffered an internal decapitation...

- that was miraculous.
- Oh, thank you.

Flattery will get you everywhere...

with anyone but me.

A word, Randolph.

- When you get a minute.
- Absolutely.

Pleasure.

Why'd you do that?

W-What is the point
of alienating the man?

What is the point of making nice
when I know who he is?

I am still trying to wrap my head

around the fact that you hired someone

who so obviously has an ego
the size of Texas.

I... Red Rock Mountain Medical hired him,

and I understand why they did.

Health care is a business. I'm a realist.

This is what's happening
from coast to coast.

They're recruiting guys
like Cain. It's everywhere.

And doctors like me,
who put our patients first,

- are collateral damage.
- No.

I'll start interviewing
elsewhere immediately.

- No. K-Kit. Please, don't. Don't.
- I'm sorry.

But I don't belong here.

I see your, uh, your companion left.

- Yeah.
- You know what, I don't want you

to spend this evening alone.

See that young lady right there?

(CHUCKLES)

(CHUCKLES) I can introduce you.

I'm telling you, Randolph, stick with me

and we'll rise together.

The sky's the limit for men like us.

Ladies, thank you for coming.

I, uh, I can't rest.

I can't let Jessie go without
knowing what really happened.

Please, just take a look at this.

It's Jessie's medical records.

I just-I just want to know
that nothing terrible happened,

everything was done right.

You know how Nic feels about this.

This isn't about a lawsuit.

I gave that up.

I just want the truth.

I must have the truth.

Mwah.
