Karen!

Uh, K-Kar... Karen

what's the deal?
Did you not see me?

Of course I did, but I
ran because your face says

you want money for something.
Oh, well, yeah, I do.

What is it today?

Therapy dogs for
postpartum mothers?

Improv classes for
survivors of PTSD?

No, good idea, both of those,
but I was thinking that...

I want to end systemic racism.
Oh, for God's sake.

No, just at the hospital.
Start small, right?

Wow, that's kind of
controversial stance.

Walking away,
siding with racism.

Kind of a Karen move, Karen.

My exasperation with
you has no relation

to my thoughts on racism.

Why today, Max?

Knew you were gonna ask that,

but there is no answer,
because we should be asking

the right question, which
is why not yesterday?

Why not a year ago?

Why not two years ago
when I first took over?

Systemic racism should
have been the first thing

I addressed when I
got to New Amsterdam,

and I'm appalled that it wasn't,

- so today it is.
- And you need money for...

A new position, someone
to help us identify

and eliminate systemic
marginalization

while correcting inequities
throughout the whole hospital.

You want a chief equity officer?

- Yeah, that's perfect.
- We'll call it that.

Oh, and I am not going
anywhere until you give me one.

Well, in that case, go away,
because we already have one.

We do?

- Hey.
- Oh, hi there.

Are you... let's
see here... Isabel?

Yes.

Great, I'm Max Goodwin,
medical director.

How can I help?

I see what you did there.

Um, yeah, I'm here to discuss

some pretty
disturbing statistics.

- Hit me.
- Okay.

Well, according to
the latest report

by Health and Human Services,

Latinx women are 40% more likely

to have cervical cancer
and 20% more likely

to die from it than white women.

Indigenous Americans have
twice the HIV infection rate

as that of non-Hispanic whites.

Black women are two to
six times more likely

to die from complications
of pregnancy

than white women.

Actually, it's 12 times more
likely in New York City.

Your statistics are
a bit... generic.

Oh.

- How long have you worked here?
- Three years.

Three... three years?

Well, we have a
lot of work to do.

That's exactly what I say
to you in my messages.

Once a week, I leave
word with your office

hoping to get some
time with you.

Sorry, you know, sometimes
with this hospital,

I'm just running
and... not important.

- Listen, I'm here now, okay?
- Okay.

And we are gonna fix this, so
I want innovative proposals

on my desk by tomorrow,
and think big.

You know, get creative. No
solution is off the table.

Should we start
with acknowledging.

New Amsterdam's
biggest illustration

of embedded systemic racism?

- Yes, yes, of course.
- What is it?

You.

- Good read?
- Don't get me started.

Actually, do get me started.

I've been made executor
of my brother's will,

and I haven't the foggiest.

I thought you two weren't close.

Well, we weren't, but now
I'm in charge of his house,

his car, his saxophones.

I mean, the only thing
I'm confident about

is making arrangements
for his daughter Mina

to live with her aunt in Dubai

in an actual palace.

You have a niece.

And apparently a
rich second aunt

who doesn't want
my brother's boat

because she already has several.

Well, you keep it.

We could spend our
vacation at sea.

Sky, the waves, you and me.

It's a rowboat.

Then Bora Bora it is.

So did you like the rest
of "Catcher in the Rye"?

What about that red
hunting hat, man?

I thought that would
be right up your alley.

- Mm, it was fine.
- It was fine.

You talked my ear off about
the Ducks last session.

The red hunting hat
is way more important.

Oh, I'm sorry. What's
up with your hand?

- I-I fell on it wrong.
- Oh, okay.

Well, just in case,
let me take a look.

It's fine.

That's a little too much "fine"

for one session,
Ollie. Let me see.

Radiology's slammed,

but they'll fit
him in right away.

- Okay, thank you.
- See that, buddy?

VIP treatment for
you, all right?

What happened?

Uh, he said he fell.

No, Mama, last night,
I separated them all

and put them in your
monthly pill organizer,

remember?

Yes, of course you can still
call me whenever you want.

But, no, but take
the yellow pill now.

The yellow pill while
I'm on the phone.

Incoming!

A tour bus jumped the
curb in Times Square.

Superman may have
a fractured wrist,

but he won't stay put long
enough for me to check.

Yeah, okay, what's
his real name?

ID says Murph Coleman,

but he only responds
to Superman.

Kebir Abad, 38-year-old
male falafel vendor.

Second-degree hot oil
burns covering both arms.

Superman, get back
in your chair.

Not till this man's in bay 24!

- Hammond!
- On it.

Skelly, Williams,
team three, bed five.

Hey, you gotta hold this, okay?

- It's important.
- Stable vitals?

- Team one, bed nine.
- You okay?

You gotta keep your eyes open.

- Someone get me Cassian.
- All right.

- Let's do it.
- You gonna be okay?

- Gotta go.
- I-I can't...

Come on, let's not
back up triage.

Hammond.

- Hammond!
- Sorry.

He really is faster than a...

- Do not!
- Just get him back in his chair.

Wilmer Belasco,
male, 42 years old.

Blunt force trauma to the chest.

Heart rate 113, BP 161 over
98. Possible cracked sternum.

- My boy...
- Don't try to talk.

- Mr. Belasco.
- Hector Belasco,

13-year-old boy. BP 126 over 87.

- That's my son!
- Lauren, I got him.

- Doc, no!

Sir, he's gonna
be taken care of.

- Hi, Hector, I'm Dr. Shin.
- It's okay.

We're gonna take very
good care of you.

Bilateral compound
femur fracture,

possible hypovolemic
shock from crush injuries.

Okay, let's take a look.

Trauma one.

- Dad!

- Sir.

- In the chair, Superman.
- But I just...

Stay put.

Mina, um, so just
give me a second to...

Mina, I know that it's hard,

but I'm sure your dad would've
wanted you to be with family.

You know nothing
about my father.

- Can I talk to you a second?
- Can it wait?

- I just got...
- No.

I just made a
commitment to ending

the inherent and systemic
racism here at this hospital,

- and I know what I need to do.
- Max...

I'm stepping down
as medical director.

Who is taking over?

You are.

.

You want me to be
medical director?

- Yeah.
- And you, you'll just...

Quietly recede into
a supporting role.

You've never done
anything quietly.

- Yeah, I know.
- That's exactly the problem.

I tried to force an initiative
on Black barber shops

to get them to turn into
community health ops.

I have called the
WHO every single day

for three months...
Three months...

Trying to get racism
coded as a health risk,

and now I realize
that none of it

was ever actually
gonna change anything,

because I am part
of the problem.

- Says who?
- My chief equity officer.

We have a chief equity officer?

- Yeah, Isabel.
- She's very sweet.

But as women of color, you
are both vastly under... hi.

Underrepresented in management,

which makes you much less likely

to get a promotion and
therefore not in a position

to then hire other
women of color,

so it's a vicious cycle really,

but the thing is
it can be changed

if a woman of color
is at the top,

which is exactly why you
need to say yes to this job.

- No.
- You could do a lot of good.

Here I thought I was doing good

- being an oncologist.
- More good.

Do you not see the irony

in asking someone
who's suffering

from systemic racism
to also fix it?

Well, does that mean
you'll consider it?

Okay, no, Helen, I...

Ugh, I don't know
where to start!

Just look to your right.

Hey, you are gonna be just fine.

I got him down in a wheelchair,

- but he got up again.
- Here we go!

Superman!

Have Walsh clear
Superman's wrist

and escort him
out of here, okay?

- Where am I going?
- Hey...

Hey, this has to get
to the trauma room.

This is Mr. Abad.

Before his car flipped over,

- he saw the whole accident.
- Hammond, you're killing me.

- Do not let him into trauma one.
- Doing the best I can.

Right here.

Uhh... hey!

Right before his
car tipped over,

he saw the whole accident.

Tell Dr. Bloom what
you just told me.

It was the craziest
thing I've ever seen.

The minute the bus
jumped the curb,

everybody started running,
except for Superman.

- He just stood there.
- Why?

No idea, but he took
the hit like a champ.

I hope someone got video.

- Superman got hit by the bus?
- Hard.

I don't know he's
still standing.

- Well, he is the Man of St...
- Don't say it.

Page neurology now.

I've got 52 bones.

Did you hear that
Ollie hurt his hand?

Yes.

It's really bad.

I'm a doctor, and I can't
even figure out what happened.

- I'm not stupid.
- I know you think I did it.

Did you?

I had to. I had no choice.

Juliet, you were
making such progress.

He insulted my
brother, my parents.

I was defending their honor.

You were defending their honor?

When I took the
vow of the samurai,

- I took the vow to the death.
- Is this a joke to you?

Sure, because I didn't do it.

- Okay.

Juliet, do you remember
the rules of the game

- that we've been playing?
- Expert level.

I only win if the loser
doesn't think they lost.

If I upset them or
hurt them, I lose.

Correct.

So when you smashed
Ollie's hand, you lost.

Except I didn't
smash Ollie's hand.

I was joking.

I don't think you're
telling the truth.

- Right now or before?
- Now.

I think you're lying
to protect yourself.

- Final answer?
- This is not a game, Juliet.

This is not the game!

Okay.

I'm sorry. I
shouldn't have yelled.

It wasn't very professional.

Okay.

Here's what I want.

I want you to tell
me one true thing

about Ollie's hand.

One true thing, that's it.

Luisa did it.

Luisa.

Luisa, hi.

Can I see you for
a second please?

My wrist feels fine.

I'd love to get back downstairs
in case anyone needs my help.

They don't.

I need you to hold still.

- What?
- I was just wondering

why he annoys you so much.

Everyone annoys me this much.

Good to know.

The world's a
disaster right now.

We all need to pitch
in to try to fix it.

Got no patience for someone
dressing up pretending to.

Well, there's no fractures
or internal damage

- to his legs or trunk.
- It's crazy.

- It's like he's made of steel.
- He's not.

Look.

A brain bleed.

Mina.

You were right.

I don't know the
first thing about you,

but, uh, I want to.

I really do.

So, please, can
we just try again?

Really? Um...

- Mina, you're 16.
- 16, so what?

So marriage is a big decision,

and it should really
only come from wanting

to spend the rest of
your life with someone.

Is that how you feel
about your boyfriend?

No, but it's better
than being forced

to live somewhere I hate.

Okay, no, no, no, okay,

then we'll find you
some place else.

Where?

New York?

Satinsky.

That bus really did a
number on this kid's femur.

Yeah, and a splintered
femur did a number

on the femoral artery.

Dr. Shin, is this infected?

- Nurse, palpate that finger.
- Hard and cold.

Slow capillary refill.

- That's not infected.
- The whole finger's clotted off.

Hector's in DIC. Book an OR.

The trauma's upset the
fibrin activation balance

in his blood.

He could have a heart
attack any minute.

No disrespect, but how come

all old-timey doctors
were white dudes?

They weren't, but they were
the only ones we hired.

Shall we?

Good, good, racist.

Here.

- What's going on here?
- Surgical experimentation.

Sexist.

Racist, racist,

racist, racist.

Forced sterilization.

And homophobe.

Misogynist.

No, Mama, the shutoff
valve stops the water.

Right.

No, no, no, wait, wait, wait.

Just let me call a plumber
so you won't hurt your

Oh, dear!

- Oh, Floyd, sorry, buddy.
- Are you all right?

Just, uh, working
on ending racism

and forgot to put out
the wet paint sign.

You're ending racism with paint?

- Yeah, well, no.
- That would be... silly.

This is just a symbol
of our commitment

to ending racism.

Okay, uh, and it'll be backed
with real policy change?

- Oh, yeah, absolutely.
- Starting with?

- Starting with...
- starting with, uh

well, you know, still
analyzing the facts and...

How about the fact
that Black doctors

get paid 35% less
than white doctors do?

- Not here.
- Yeah, here.

- Here?
- Mm-hmm.

- But... even you?
- Even me.

.

What did they do with my cape?

I'm sure someone bagged it.

Don't worry. It's safe.

So what's it like
working in Times Square?

Oh, it's the best. Ha.

Ever since I was a kid,

all I ever wanted
to be was a hero.

- Always Superman?
- No.

I wanted to be a cop, maybe
a soldier, a firefighter.

And why didn't you?

I tried, but I didn't meet
any of the size requirements.

I've always been too small
to make a real difference.

But when I put on that cape...

Hey, Murph.

Being a hero has got
nothing to do with size.

So, Luisa, do you
have anything at all

that you want to tell me?

- About what?
- I don't know.

I was thinking
about Ollie's hand.

- Did you hurt Ollie's hand?
- No.

Well, Juliet, she
says that you did.

- She did?
- Yeah, she did.

Then... I did.

No, don't tell me what you
think I wanna hear, okay?

You just tell me the truth.

I am.

Luisa, Luisa, can I
see your hand please?

It's okay. It's okay.

I just need to
take a peek, okay?

- Did Juliet do that to you?
- No.

She will never know
that you talked to me.

I promise you that.

I just wanna make sure that she
never, ever hurts you again.

- Do you understand?
- Juliet didn't hurt me.

I'm her friend.

Juliet said that?

She told you that
you're her friend?

Yes, her only friend.

- Right this way.
- I have lunch in...

Yeah, I know. I know.

We'll be done in a
second. Come on in.

Thank you, Dr. Bloom.

Okay, so, guys, I'm just
gonna dive right in.

So the reason that I've
asked you all here...

To the fourth
floor storage room?

That's right.

Is to exercise a
little discretion

and discuss something that is a
little uncomfortable... money.

All of you in this room

are the highest earning
doctors at New Amsterdam,

so I'm gonna ask all of
you, including myself,

to renounce 10%
of your salaries.

- Excuse me?
- What?

- Uh, wait?
- Is this a joke?

Not a j... not a joke, actually.

We are going to take that money
from our collective reductions

and carefully redistribute
it to the physicians of color

who work in this hospital

despite systemic
pay discrimination.

Are you suggesting reparations?

Yeah, kind of. See?

Harold gets it.

But we didn't hand
out subpar salaries.

- HCC did.
- No, true, very true.

But, well, we benefit from it.

Okay, so then why don't
you just raise the salaries

- of the non-white physicians?
- Right, yes.

Another very good idea, Harold.

Really kind of on fire
today, but I tried that.

I tried that, and HCC
could not afford it.

Did you notice that the wage gap

- is even wider for women?
- Yeah.

10% worse, in fact,
so why are women here?

Right, well, of course, but
we're not discussing gender

- at the moment...
- Oh, okay.

So when's that meeting?

That meeting is gonna
be scheduled right...

I knew there was secret
white doctor meetings.

- Yeah, I'm gonna go with you.
- Dr. Bloom.

Uh, guys, let me just
say one more thing.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Guys, guys, guys, hold on.

Hold on. Shut the door.

Wait, one second please.
If I could finish.

It's not a lot to ask,
and it's really gonna help

a lot of people, but thank
you so much for listening.

Richardson retractor.

- Asystole.
- EPI and a ten gauge.

No response.

Heart's gone.

I'm not calling it.

- Dr. Reynolds.
- Give him a minute.

Come on, Hector.

Initiate cardiac bypass.

At least we can give
him a few more hours.

Heart transplant?

He's just a child.

Yes, and pediatric heart
transplant recipients

have challenging
size restrictions.

But being on bypass puts him

at the very top
of the donor list.

Don't lose hope for a match.

Dr. Reynolds, I love my boy

more than anything in the world.

But how can I hope for
another boy's heart?

Hmm?

Have you heard of this
term intersectionality?

Of course. Haven't you?

Yeah, of course,
after I googled it.

Right, well, once
you solve racism,

you can put out a word
of the day calendar.

I know you're joking, but
that's not a bad idea.

Look, I want to apologize.

It was really unfair of
me for trying to dump

- that whole thing on you.
- Thank you.

I appreciate that.

Yeah, so I have a
better proposition.

Huh, I can't believe it.

Yeah, you could be my... oh.

Be my partner.
Co-medical directors.

And before you say anything,
just think about how great

we'd be together, you know?

I mean, you know
the terminology,

and I know the system,
and I just think...

You know, I'm always
better when you're around,

and it's starting to be
obvious to me that...

Stop.

- Stop talking.
- Sorry.

- You're trying to pee, and...
- No.

Just actually, like,
just stop talking.

Have you ever noticed
that you always present

your big plans while
you're walking and talking?

I think that it gives
you a sense of momentum

that feels encouraging.

But it's actually an illusion,
because this building

is a box, Max,

and you're walking in circles,

and while that might
sometimes be enough time

for you to come up
with a quick fix,

you're not gonna fix this

because, and I can't believe
I actually have to say this,

but... systemic racism

isn't about you.

But you want answers.

Well, then just hold still.

Just be quiet, and just...

Just really listen to the people

that you say you wanna help.

It's not revolutionary,
it's not outside of the box,

and it is certainly not
gonna be a quick fix.

And if you can't... If
you can't handle that,

then you're not an ally at all.

You're just another
semi-woke liberal

with a white savior complex.

.

All right, we are here
because I want you

to see firsthand the
damage that you've done

and understand why
you've lost the game.

But I didn't lose.

Two kids are hurt
because of you,

and I'm afraid that you
can't stay here anymore.

I didn't lose.

I'm gonna have to
call your parents.

I didn't lose the game!

I'm better at the
game than you are!

You're the one who lost.

You hurt Luisa, and
when Ollie found out,

you hurt him too. Is
that what happened?

That's what happened, right?

- No.
- Don't look at her.

I don't care what she told
you. She is not your friend.

- Yes, I am.
- Juliet, not another word.

I'm sorry. I have to.

It started when...

- It was Luisa!
- She just attacked me!

- Because he kept grabbing me!
- You did this.

He kept trying to hold my hand
even when I told him to stop.

Why didn't you tell me?

Because Ollie said he
wouldn't get in trouble

for just trying to hold my hand,

- but I wanted him to stop.
- You're being a baby.

No, she is not, and
you are in trouble.

Ollie... Ollie.

Thank you. Take him to his room.

Told you.

Oh?

You changed your
mind, didn't you?

It's, um... it's complicated.

My job is all-consuming,

my apartment is
not made for kids,

and this city is... it's big.

But I do care about you, Mina,

and I promise I
will check on you

and make sure you have
everything you need

with money or with help
with college applications.

No, that's what my
father said about you.

I guess he was right.

I should have known
that regular anesthesia

would be no match for Sup...

- The surgery was successful.
- It was.

The burr hole relieved pressure,

but the bleed had already
done too much damage.

He's not going to wake up.

Okay.

I'm going to look
for next of kin.

Yeah.

You sure you got time for this?

I got all the time in the world.

I started treating patients here

the same time as three
other white residents,

but you know how long it
took the department chair

to learn my name?
Go ahead, guess.

Then I'll tell you how
long it took for him

to stop calling me sister girl.

- I'm not a female surgeon.
- I'm not a Puerto Rican surgeon.

I'm a surgeon, and
I'm one of the best.

Nanny.

Do you see children around me?
I mean, I'm wearing my badge.

- Hello?
- I'm not the translator.

Listen, you don't
have to speak Spanish

to me all the time.
I speak English.

It was misdiagnosed because
the test didn't account

for higher creatine
levels in Black folk.

And no matter how
many times I tell 'em,

"Yo, it's sickle cell,"

white doctors always
have me take a drug test.

Blamed it on insurance.
I'm like, "For real?"

How does a white
male gynecologist

know my pain better than I do?

Four generations U.S.

My newborn does
not need a TB shot.

I don't have a green card,

but I do have an
American passport.

The only border I ever
cross is New Jersey.

I didn't go to
school for 12 years

to learn how to smile more.

When Dr. Reynolds made chair,
do you think people asked

if his dad was proud?

I see how they look at me the
moment they hear my voice.

He said we can't all
be enlightened as you

about gender.

Max, it's not really about
remembering my pronouns.

It's about actually believing me

when I tell you who I am.

I don't know how
many of us there are.

- AIDs.
- SIDs.

- Mixed race.
- Multiethnic.

- None of the above.
- Indigenous?

That can be from any
part of the world.

I am a Native American.

- People call me many things...
- Bitch.

- Chola.
- Coon. Spook.

- Fragile.
- List goes on and on.

- Other.
- Other.

Other.

.

So I owe you a huge apology.

I'm waiting.

I'm sorry.

I am very sorry
that I doubted you.

No, worse. I...

I decided that you were
guilty before you ever even

set foot in my office,
and I am sorry.

Seems judgmental for a doctor.

I agree.

And I should have had more
faith in your progress,

in you, honestly.

Ollie is bad, but I
would never lose the game

- just to hurt him...
- Yeah, I believe you.

So I told Luisa how to do it.

You did what?

I told Luisa how
to get him alone

where no one would see, and
I told her to use the door

because it was the best
way for someone her size...

No, no, Juliet, no,
you can't do that.

You can't teach kids
to hurt other kids.

I taught her how
to defend herself.

- That is not your job.
- But she's my friend.

Do you really consider
Luisa to be your friend?

Yes.

Okay.

Okay.

New rule to the game.

You can't help anyone
hurt someone else.

If you do, you lose.

- Starting now?
- Yeah, starting now.

So I'm still winning, right?

Right.

You're still winning.

Heard about your
2021 listening tour.

I was on the subway
this morning,

and there was this toddler
who's a cute little Black boy

around Luna's age, and
he was just exploring,

you know, running around,
and this random guy

starts yelling at
this kid's mom.

"Control your damn kid."

And... that guy would deny it.

But when Luna runs around like
that, nobody yells at her.

I mean, it's the
opposite, you know?

People smile

and do funny little
voices, and...

Luna gets to grow up seeing
the world as safe, friendly,

and that kid

gets screamed at,

and his mom gets
to be on high alert

every second of every day

knowing there's
always another guy

who's ready to yell at her
kid or make him feel small

or one day...

Or one day kill him.

Do you know what I said to
that racist on the train?

Nothing.

Because I didn't even realize it

until I got off the train.

Look, I'm not gonna ask you

to fix everything.

I just want you to know
that I'm grateful...

That you're here.

It's been hard...

But it's been easier

knowing that you are here.

I'm here to inform you

that I'm stepping down as
Deputy Medical Director.

I'm sorry that it's poor timing.

The job has meant so much to me.

But I have to focus on
other things right now.

Okay, okay.

Okay.

Thank you for listening.

But your patient's
size is limiting.

I'll try again in 20 minutes.

I'm sorry about
Superman, Lauren.

Nothing about today feels
like it makes sense.

Maybe it does.

[Nina Simone's
"New World Coming".

He thought he was too small
to really make a difference.

Hey, Mama.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I'll be home soon.

Yeah, yeah, you want
me to cook that up?

I can cook that up.

Soon as I get there. I
just gotta go to the store.

I met with Max today

to step down as Deputy
Medical Director.

Oh, yeah?

Why is that?

'Cause Mina's coming to New York

- to live with me.
- Mm.

- So you changed your mind?
- I did.

Having Mina here with me,
getting to know my family,

- that's what feels right.
- Mm.

Well, then I'm very excited.

Um, but if I'm gonna do this,

then I have to put my
whole self into it.

Everything I have
has to go to her.

- Of course.
- I'll help in any way I can.

No, you won't.

'Cause everything I have...

Has to go to her.

This is what you want?

But it's not about me anymore.

So what are you
gonna do about this?

I have absolutely no idea.

No idea what to put up
that won't offend someone

or exclude someone
else or seem too hollow

or... or too charged. I...

For the first time
since I got here...

I have absolutely
no idea what to do

for the people in this hospital.

Good.

Good? Uh, why is that good?

You're not supposed to
do things for people.

That's not sustainable, Max.

But if you do
things with people,

you can start a movement.

- What do you need?
- Say the word, and it's yours.

A new office.

How is that gonna
end systemic racism

- at New Amsterdam?
- Because my new office

is going to be
right next to yours.
