[serene music]

(Abby)
Why is light given
to those in misery?

And life to the bitter of soul?

To those who long for death
that does not come?

Who search for it
more than for hidden treasure?

[serene music]

[serene music]

Who are filled with gladness

and rejoice
when they reach the grave?

[serene music]

For sighing comes to me
instead of food.

My groans pour out like water.

What I feared has come upon me.

What I dreaded
has happened to me.

I have no peace..

...no quietness

I have no rest,
but only turmoil.

(male #1)
'Faithlessness is the
only natural disaster.'

Sugar is evil.
Cast away that pop!

Safe haven, right?
That's what you said.

Well, I left my baby here,
and now I want him back!

- 'Hey, I was next.'
- You call this a safe haven?

Oh, Dr. Lockhart,
Purdy can't sleep.

'Give me my baby!'

Okay, I'll be with you
in a minute, Mrs. Gaines.

- 'Thank you, doctor.'
- How much longer I got to wait?

Come on, sir,
I'm taking you in.

Paul Traylor, 34.
GSW to the chest.

Shot by an intruder
in his apartment.

Okay. I'm Dr. Lockhart.

Some dumb kids.

Made a mistake.

Tachy at 120, BP's good.

Wait. Hold up, hold up, hold up.

'Sats down to 89.'

It's getting harder to breathe.

- Okay. Hemostat.
- What?

Just give me the clamp,
quick now.

Repent sin, lest ye be stricken.

'For now is the time of fire
and brimstone raining down.'

What are you doing?

Reidy, you got to know that
covering a penetrating chest

wound creates a one-way valve..

'And maladies never imagined.'

Causing a tension pneumo.

Then...the reckoning
will commence!

- Thanks.
- No problem.

Welcome to the end
of the world.

Today...everything changes!

Today? Really?
I thought that was next week.

[theme music]

On my count. One, two, three.

Can you call
St. David's Academy?

- 'No exit wound on the back.'
- Tell 'em I won't be coming in?

- We'll get on it.
- Nothing below the waist.

What do you do?

Tutor and run
the sports program.

- Axilla's clear.
- Okay. Get him back down.

Gates, you get started
on the chest tube.

Alright, boss.

Haleh, can you call for c-spine,
chest and belly films?

- Uh-huh.
- I'll do that.

No, you're supposed
to let me do the grunt work

while you stand back
and supervise.

- Oh, that's true.
- So, how did this happen?

Stayed at my girlfriend's
last night.

When I got back,
a bunch of kids were there.

In your place?

'They were partying
or something.'

Told them to leave.

Things got out of hand.

- One of them had a gun.
- How'd they get in?

I don't know.

Alright, a little pinch.

(Rasgotra)
'So, does being
the attending feel different?'

No, not really.

Well, yeah, a little bit.

Sorry, guys. I got hung up
with the intussusception kid.

- What do you got?
- GSW to the chest, no exit.

BP and sats are good.

Alright, slight pressure here.

Oh!

- 200 cc's on the floor.
- That's my blood?

(Lockhart)
'That's pretty normal
for a gunshot wound.'

- Type and cross for six.
- Morris, excuse me.

We have an attending here.

- Right.
- Of course.

Um, I told them family only

but they wouldn't take no
for an answer.

- 'Coach, you okay?'
- 'How'd this happen?'

(Traylor)
'Thanks for showing up, guys.'

You got morning drills
and school.

We ain't practicing
without you.

Call me when
you get the films back.

Excuse me.

You okay?

Had a run of double shifts.

Oh, why don't you take
a couple days off?

He won't stop working.

Yeah, the interns are all
in procedure lab

and we're already
stretched thin without Greg.

Uh, have you met the new,
uh, chief yet, Banfield?

No, not yet.

Soon enough. She's on today.

Dr. Morris, I got two kids
here with possible gastro.

I'll take it.
Why don't you take a break?

This is Mrs. Weddington
with her sons, Larry and Curly.

Oh. Where's Mo?

No Mo. Okay.

Uh...Larry?

- That's Curly.
- Right. Right.

They were up all night vomiting,
but they seem to be better now.

Probably had too much cake.

We were at a bowling party
all day yesterday.

Sam, I thought
you went upstairs.

Ah, they said
it might take a while

so I might as well work.

They're making her go

in front of some stupid
disciplinary board.

How come?

She left a heplock in a patient.

Okay, ah, why don't we
fluid-challenge these guys?

Give them some popsicles,
see how they do.

Oh, excuse me?

Um, I was wondering, um..

My boys are
getting to the age

where they need to know
about certain things

and I'm sure they
have questions..

Oh, sex.

Drugs.

- Rock and roll.
- Yeah.

Could you maybe talk to them?

Uh...yeah, sure.

Oh, great.
Thank you so much.

Sure. I'll be back here
in a little while.

Okay. I'll just..

- I'll catch up with them.
- Great. Okay.

You look pretty.

Are you stoned?

[chuckles]

So, I just, uh,
heard a rumor.

Is it true?

This kid's here
to see his coach.

Yeah. He's, uh..

He's right through there.

Some of your friends
are already with him.

What's the rumor?

You got a job
at Mass General.

That you're moving to Boston.

Who told you that?

Girl who works in HR
told a scrub nurse.

Oh, really? Is this
the same girl that said

that Chuny was pregnant

with Crenshaw's love child?

Hey.

I'm happy for you.

I really am. I'm happy
for you and Luka and Joe.

Even if it kills me to think

that you won't be
working here anymore.

You'll be living far away.

But I wish you
would have told me.

Well, what for? What?

So you could plan
some embarrassing party?

[chuckles]

Because I'm your friend.

Well, we're still gonna
be friends, aren't we?

Well, first shift as an
attending last shift at County.

- It's quite a day.
- Yeah.

- How soon are you leaving?
- Tonight.

Tonight?

- Abby!
- I'm sorry, I know.

But can you just please
not tell anybody?

'Cause it's just..
it's too weird

and I'll, I'll figure out
a way to do it...later.

Rule of today,
no crying, right?

'Hey!'

I got two guys coming in.

- Fight at a synagogue.
- Uh-huh.

Oy vey! Couple of
feisty Jews, huh?

- Hmm?
- I don't know.

The gloves are off today.

What the hell is this?

Oh, Frank's learning to tango

for his 30th wedding
anniversary.

I promised Connie that I would
dance with her at the party.

- Keep your head up, Frank.
- I can't.

Then I can't see where
to put my damn feet!

32-year-old male, lip versus
fist, vitals stable.

You're not a mohel,
you're a butcher!

The baby is fine, Sheldon.
A little blood is normal!

You were sloppy, Rebbe! You were
sloppy with my baby's penis!

End of conversation.

Crazy. I'm done with brises!

Who needs the aggravation?

Hey, do I know you?

I don't know. Do you?

I performed
your wedding ceremony.

It's Abigail, right?

Um..

Yeah. Abby.
Actually, it's Abby.

So, how's the first year
of married life been?

Oh, well, you know.

Has its ups and its downs.

What? He's a slob?

Leaves the toilet seat up
never does the dishes

that sort of thing?

Something like that. Yeah.

Listen.
The ceremony was meshuga.

Those are the ones that last.

Here. Keep this on it.

It was nice to see you again.

Don't worry. It'll get easier.

Shalom to that.

Guys, where's your mom?

Okay, uh, here we go.

I sometimes
talk to kids about..

you know...stuff.

So why don't we
just go right over here?

And, if you have any questions

about..

...sex or drugs or alcohol,
you can just shoot.

I know it's hard
for kids your age

to talk about this stuff,
but I think it's import--

- We can ask you anything?
- Yes.

Is it true
that if you sneeze

with your eyes open,
they'll pop out?

Can vampires get AIDS?

If you put a penny on the El
track, will the train crash?

Why can't we wear pajamas
in the daytime?

Our brother got a girl pregnant,
but he won't marry her.

- Why do you think he won't?
- Okay.

Am I...Am I being punk'd?

(Gates)
Crit's dropping in two.

You guys stay right there.

How do blimps fly?

What about chest
and belly films?

- Haven't done it yet.
- What's taking so long?

- Processor's down.
- That's ridiculous.

(Haleh)
550 out of the chest tube
hemoglobin's dropped to 11.

Alright, hang O-neg

call for type specific,
platelets and FFP.

- This is Lily.
- His fiance.

- He's gonna be okay, right?
- That's the plan.

(Haleh)
'Sats's only 83.'

Alright, deep breaths for me.

Put him on a non-rebreather.
Let's set up for intubation.

(Gates)
'Etomidate and sux 8-0.'

Paul, we're gonna have to

put another tube
into help you breathe.

'You're not gonna
be able to speak.'

Alright.
Zeke.

it's not your fault, okay?

I don't blame you.

Hear me?

Say you hear me.

I hear you.

(Gates)
'Pushing the meds.'

(Abby)
'Uh, no, oh, no!'

'All the bulbs are out.'

Okay, folks,
give it to me straight.

(Lockhart)
GSW to the chest.

- First unit is up.
- First unit? That's all?

Hemodynamically stable
five minutes ago.

Okay, get this crowd
out of here.

(Lockhart)
'This is his girlfriend.'

Alright, just the globetrotters.

Alright, you guys,
you're gonna have to step out

while we work, okay?

- No way!
- We're not gonna leave until--

Hey, Meadowlark, did you
hear what the lady said?

I prefer to give blood products
before the vitals take a dive.

It works out
much better that way.

I don't like to transfuse
without a clear reason.

Oh,like being shot
in the chest?

Where's the bullet?

I ordered plain films
an hour ago.

- The processor's down.
- Oh, what's the CT show?

- CT takes an hour.
- Oh, please.

Our patients don't
need the radiation

and a thousand-dollar bill
for an unnecessary scan.

Oh, yes, the victim complex.

"It's all so hard
here at County.

Boo-hoo, takes so long,
nothing works."

'You think this is
tough, kiddies?'

Try a cinderblock hut
in Malaysia.

I'll call radiology again.

Look, I know you're like
Tsunami Mary or something

but we really don't need the
war stories right now, okay?

I don't believe we've
been properly introduced.

[sighs]

- I'm Cate Banfield.
- Abby Lockhart.

You're a baby attending,
flying blind here.

Take my help if you
wanna stick around.

Otherwise, feel free
to use the door.

And I'm talking about
the big picture.

So, there are your options.

I'll keep that in mind.

Who wants to intubate?

(Lockhart)
'Guidewire.'

(Haleh)
'Hemoglobin's stable, 11.1.'

That might be a sign that
the bleeding is slowing down.

Not necessarily.

Hang another unit.

Introducer.

Let Gates finish that.

I need you to run the board.

Call me
when the films are ready.

Alright.

(Hilo)
'He said they were
from the neighborhood.'

(Zeke)
'He did?'

What, you didn't hear
what Coach told the cops?

I don't know
who they are!

You guys, settle down. Try to
stay out of the way, okay?

They live in your building,
don't they?

Dr. Lockhart! She's so blue.

Can you give her something?

I'm not a vet, and cats
aren't allowed in the ER.

Is there anything else
I could do for you?

Oh, my water pill.

I need a refill, please.

You know what?
This has got to stop.

You have to get yourself
a real doctor.

You're not a real doctor?

Mrs. Gaines,
you know what I mean.

I'm not gonna be here forever.

[chuckles]
You have such a
dark perspective.

I'm drawn to you, dear.

So...so sue me.

Can you hang on a minute?
I'll be right back.

Hey! At least you don't
sneeze anymore!

Yeah, I take antihistamines
when I see you coming!

- 'Aah!'
- What are you doing?

I thought you were
taking a break.

Ever been at a crossroads?

Who do you think
you're talking to?

[both chuckle]

That's how I feel.

Like something's changing

but I don't know what it is.

It gets easier
once you get used to it.

I keep thinking
about what he said.

The last words
of Greg Pratt..

...were
"Don't screw it up, Morris."

You won't.

If I were in trouble, Archie,
I would call for you.

I would.

I would trust you with anything.

And I didn't always feel
that way, but I do now.

Actually, why don't you get up
and come with me for a minute.

Can you die from eating
pop rocks and soda?

If I hold in a fart,
will I explode?

Why don't you try to find
your mom? Check the front desk.

Dr. Morris, this is
Roxanne Gaines.

She's on Captopril, Lasix

Ambien and glyburide.

She comes in around once
a month for refills

sometimes more often when she
shares her meds with her cat.

Yeah, well, Purdy has insomnia.

Ma'am, you can do all of this at
your primary physician's office.

No, wait, Morris, please, just
can you just do this for me?

What?

If I'm ever not here,
Roxanne...ask for Dr. Morris.

- Abby..
- Look, just do it.

I'm trusting you.

Got films on your guy in 2.

Maybe you guys should chat.

Get to know each other.

[chuckles]

A little kooky, but I love her.

Yeah.

- Join the club.
- Mmm.

Oh!

What's going on
with the heplock?

I got duped,
the guy used it to OD.

Well, that's a calculated
risk. We've all done it.

What, are they gonna put
a letter in your file?

Nursing supervisor called me,
said to be prepared.

What, they gonna fire you?

[mumbling]
I don't know.

Screw 'em.
I can always find another job.

Oh, come on, you don't
really want that, do you?

No. I don't.

Got your films.

Blood gas looks good.

Alright, dial
down the oxygen, please.

Where's Cruella de Ville?

Covering for you, we hear.

And real happy about it.

Bullet's in the belly.
Call Surgery.

And...you threaded the
subclavian into the neck.

- Crap.
- Yeah.

How's the board look, Doctor?

Um, clear with
a white frame

lots of writing on it.

If you put pressure
on the clavicular fossa

as you're threading
in the subclavian

'it prevents if from going
up into the jugular.'

- Cool.
- You know what that's called?

The "finger
in the fossa" trick.

Points to the new lady
for stealing the punch line.

Nice pickup.

[crashing]

Go next door and see
what's going on.

Okay, you know, as much
as I enjoy being your bitch, I--

Dr. Gates
has been duly schooled.

We'll take it from here.

Get set up to fix your line.

[crashing]

Hey. Hey, hey!

- Hey, hey, hey!
- It's your fault!

- Can I get some help in here?
- Why?

- Why'd you guys do it?
- Guys, knock it off!

Guys! Come on, guys!

- You did this!
- Alright, alright.

- It's his fault!
- He got Coach messed up!

Let's go.

Come on. Let's go.

'It's his fault
Coach is in here!'

Outside.

- Get off me. Get off me!
- Hey, I'm trying to help you.

Come here.

Sit down. Sit down.

- Hold this on it.
- What for?

Just do it.

Is Coach okay?

He's gonna be.

It's not my fault.

Why would it be your fault?

Just said it's not.

I didn't even think
he'd be there.

Where, his apartment?

[sniffles]

Coach knows how it is.

He's been through his own

rough times and got past it.

That's what he teaches us.

That's a good thing to teach.

I think you're gonna
need some stitches.

Zeke..

Why?

It's, it's not
like they say.

He would give you
anything you needed!

You know that!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry!

Oh, Lily, you're gonna
have to step out, okay?

You know that.

- Come on. Here we go.
- You know that!

Haleh, can you bring
her back in there?

Then I'm gonna need
some 4-0 prolene

and uh...one-percent lido, okay.

- Abby..
- Lucien.

Have you seen
a kid running around?

- He's about 15, like, yea high?
- No, not that I know.

I thought you were working
at a surgi-center somewhere.

Well, I was, I wa..

Haleh, have you seen
that kid Zeke?

Not since you were with him.

- I'm getting your lido.
- Thanks.

I told myself, you know,
I could-I could walk away

and never think
twice, but--

Frank, if you see
any of my basketball kids

roaming around let me know.

Okey-dokey.

This is County.
Is, um, is Frank dancing?

Yep. Keep your head up, Frank.

Well, it turns out I can't
imagine working anyplace else.

- You can't?
- No, I can't. Can you?

Well, yeah, I mean,
it wouldn't, wouldn't be easy

but I think for the
right reasons, yeah.

What, is there something
you're not telling me?

- No.
- Come on.

Yeah.

Luka and I are moving to Boston.

- What?
- Don't tell anybody.

- Really?
- Yeah.

- Oh..
- I can't go there.

'Cause that'll just
get me started.

- Right, right, right.
- Thanks.

Okay. Well, then no problem.

- Yeah.
- Wow.

Okay, so we'll
talk later, then.

[sighs]

- Why do monkeys love bananas?
- What's a douche bag?

Where the hell
is their mother?

I wanted to talk to
you about my future.

Yeah, you know
what, Grady?

I'm not the right person
'cause I'm a short-timer.

- You are?
- Yeah.

- How short?
- Really short.

Today's my last shift.
Don't tell anybody.

But I was just about to say
what a great mentor you've been

and ask you..

- I find this pretty upsetting.
- Look, you're good.

You don't need me
anymore. You don't.

Abby, he's on the roof.

(Abby)
'Zeke?'

Hey, Zeke,
I didn't get a chance

to finish dressing
your cut.

Don't come over here.

Hey, you know,
these things, they don't

don't usually work out

the way we think
they're going to.

'Cause it's, uh...you know

it's the middle of the day,
it's a crowded street

and you'll probably end up..

...end up...landing on
a bunch of tourists.

Hey, what are we
doing up here?

[sobbing softly]

After Jamal got shot..

...out in Tinley..

...Coach told us if
we ever needed a place to go..

...to be safe or just chill..

...he left his key in one of
those little magnet boxes..

...behind the radiator.

[sniffling]

Those kids hassle me..

All the time.

I told them
I could take them

to a place

where we could just...party..

...hang out, do whatever
we wanted there.

After coach came in,
everything got crazy.

I couldn't stop them.

I promise I'm going
to fix up your coach

if you'll just please, please

'just come back away
from there, okay?'

I...alright, listen.

Hey? I'm gonna..

Look at this.
Come here, look at this.

Just look at this, alright?

You take it?

I don't live up
to my end of the deal

you inject that into your vein

and your heart
will stop beating.

- I'm not stupid.
- I'm not kidding.

It's called a fatal arrhythmia.

If I don't live up to my part,
you could take the syringe

and you could do with it
whatever you want.

Are you nuts or somethin'?

I just know what it's like
to be out on a ledge.

And, yeah...I'm nuts.

So why don't you
just please, just please

come back here, okay?

Come on.

'Come on, Zeke.'

'Come here, come on.'

It's okay.

Listen to me, we have
a man bleeding out.

Another unit on
the rapid infuser.

We are bringing the GSW now.

Switch to the portable,
we're going.

Can someone tell me
what's going on?

He's losing blood faster
than we can replace it.

The surgeons need to get in
there and repair the injury.

- Seems too red.
- Run of six!

- Alright, let's roll.
- He's still got a pulse.

If we send him upstairs
with a crappy BP

and intermittent
V-tach, he's gonna arrest.

The longer we argue about it

the greater the chance of that.

She's right about that.

Well, we're much more
equipped to handle a code

down here, trust me.

Abby..

- He's in V-tach.
- Alright, loss of pulse.

- Thorocotomy tray.
- Starting compressions.

- Charging to 360.
- 'Sterile 7s and a 10 blade.'

(Lily)
'What are you doing?'

We have to open his chest.

- Abby, look at this.
- Not now, Grady. Clear!

- No change.
- Resume compressions.

360 again.

Look at the left hemi-diaphragm
the edge is obscured.

Yeah, it's a hemothorax.
It happens. Clear!

Still in V-tach.

Alright, Haleh,
prep the chest.

You slowed us down enough
to make this inevitable.

360 again. Stand by with epi.

Isn't it possible that the chest
tube went through the diaphragm?

You can see the tip of the
tube right there. Clear!

Yeah, well, maybe it only
looks like the tip.

The end is obscured
by blood, see?

- Back in sinus.
- 'Strong radial pulse.'

Alright, let's get him to the OR
before this happens again.

(Gates)
'Alright.'

- Wait.
- No. No.

Grady's right.

The chest tube followed
the track of the bullet.

It's in his spleen.

That is highly unlikely,
and we can't prove it here.

Maybe we can see it
with the ultrasound.

- Here, let me see that.
- We did an ultrasound.

- 'An hour ago.'
- Yeah, but it's easy to miss.

A dislodged clot in the spleen
could have caused--

Could have caused
a precipitous arterial bleed

to drain out the chest tube.

Get out of the way.

Yeah, I can't
get a good view.

Haleh, call down
to the pharmacy

and have them deliver
some fibrin glue.

- Dr. Lockhart.
- Fibrin what?

It's a tissue adhesive, it can
be used for splenic hemostasis.

I think the dose is 2000 units,
but you'd better check.

Stop. Enough. We are done.

He is a green resident,
and you're a newbie attending.

And we're not messing around
on that kind of hunch.

But wait, just
hold on, hold on!

I know it's my first day.

You don't know anything about me
or my clinical judgment.

But it's not really
my first day.

It's...I've been here
for ten years.

And I know when
I know something.

And you've been here
for a week.

So just...can you
just give me this?

- Your five minutes are up.
- 'Almost there.'

Over a liter out now.

I'm so sorry, we were stuck
with a grade five liver.

Put him in Trendelenburg.

Okay, here we go.

How long does it
take to clot?

How long does what take?

Fibrin glue.
Couple seconds, I think.

We think the chest tube's
actually in the spleen.

- You think?
- Yeah, no scan.

We can't see anything.

So how'd you come up
with this plan?

Grady.

He was paying attention.

Seems to have worked.

Oh, God, thank you..

Thank you.

(Haleh)
'Systolic's up to 90.'

- Clamp the tube.
- Let's get him out of here.

- Can I go with him?
- No.

It's better
if you wait down here.

(Abby)
'Here we go.'

Impressive.

Well...I'm a skilled
practitioner

and an excellent teacher.

It's just getting
too hard to deny it.

Well, I've never heard
of using fibrin glue this way.

Yeah, to tell you the truth

I have absolutely no idea
where that came from.

Just lodged in here somewhere.

Well, it's a good job it was.

And I see you've
met our new chief.

Hmm?

She's not the chief of me.

Lucien's waiting for us in OR 1.

Okay.

Zeke, you can't be up here.
Go do your thing.

What are you doing? Where's
the nurse I left you with?

- He...he looks bad.
- He's pale from blood loss.

But the surgeons
are gonna fix that.

- If he doesn't make it--
- Hey, hey.

Now I kept my end
of the bargain so far, right?

Alright, now you
have to keep yours.

You just go down there
and wait with the nurse.

Zeke..

...this is going
to be alright.

You just have to keep
telling yourself that.

Alright, I'll see you later.

A little more traction here.

(Rasgotra)
'Coker. End tidal looks good.'

Alright, into
the peritoneum.

(Abby)
You guys are gonna bring
this home for me, right?

(Neela)
'Capsule's ruptured.'

(Lucien)
Suction.

(Neela)
Splenic artery's sheared off.

You know, we get tired of
hearing how you guys

had to come in and
clean up our messes.

(Lucien)
We can autotransfuse what's left
back through the splenic vein.

But the fact is,
sometimes you do.

- VBG's 7 point three eight.
- Okay, pickups.

Oh, let's make this
one more for the road, huh?

- Here's our bullet.
- Right.

[sighs]

(Perry)
'Second liter's up.'

(Lucien)
'Curved clamp to Neela.'

Splenorenal ligament
is isolated and..

And cut. Excellent.

Looking up, Abby.

Great.

That is great.

Okay, Bovie. Let's
watch out for the--

Gastroepiploic artery. I see it.

Okay, bullet completely spared

the stomach and liver.

You guys are so good at this.

I mean, just really,
really good.

Systolic's holding at 98.

- Oh-silk.
- Oh-silk.

And I love what
you've done up here.

This new observation deck
is very comfortable.

Nicely lit, nice, big window.

Way to go.

Posterior margin's free.

Mobilize it.

- Clamp to Lucien.
- Curved clamp.

And you know,
you two are like..

Like Yin and Yang.

Have you ever thought about..

I don't know, dating?

'I mean why ask,
what if, right?'

Okay, I'm gonna go tell them
he's out of the woods.

- Yeah, why don't you do that?
- Yeah, we're fine here.

And I'm gonna be
punching out soon, so..

Thank you for this.

I'll see you sometime.

Be good.

They're almost done.
It's going well.

'Good.'

His people are in the family
room. I'll update them.

You know, you won't really have
me to beat up on after tonight.

So I understand.

You know, despite some..

...obvious issues with authority

I'm wondering
why you're leaving.

For my family.

I have a husband
and a little boy.

We just need a fresh start.

How old is your son?

A little over two.

That's a great age.

I love that age.

Well..

...the shift's almost over.

Nice knowing you.

Good luck here.

[buzzing]

[clears throat]

- Can you give us a minute?
- Sure.

I want my syringe back.

- He's okay?
- Mm-hmm.

And you're gonna have
to talk to some doctors

to make sure
you're okay, too.

I know you think
you're a bad person.

We all think that
about ourselves sometimes

but you're not.

You just did a bad thing.

Don't make the same
mistake again, okay?

You would have never
let me use that thing

would you?

You know what? I really
hadn't thought that far ahead.

[both laughs]

See you later.

Dr. Lockhart, Dr. Lockhart.
Oh, dear.

You made me so nervous,
I just, I just had to come back.

What's the matter, Roxanne?

You're sick, aren't you?

- No, not anymore.
- No?

[laughs]
Well, but the way
you were talking

is something bad gonna happen?

No, something good.

Hey, Sam, are you going up now?

- Dead nurse walking.
- I wanna talk to you.

- Will I see you next time?
- Ask for Dr. Morris.

[meows]

So you have to do some
stupid monkey dance

for a bunch of cheap suits

to try to justify
how we navigate

through a broken system,
which is the problem

that they should be looking
at in the first place.

You're very articulate today.

I know.

Nurse Taggart, it'll be
a few more minutes still.

- Are you kidding me?
- It's okay.

- No, it's not okay.
- She's working, alright?

She can't keep
bouncing up and down

like some kind
of registered yo-yo.

- 'Abby..'
- Next up is AMA bouncebacks--

Hi. Hi. I'm sorry.

But don't you think
this is kind of ass?

- Excuse me. Who are you?
- Abby Lockhart.

I used to be a nurse in the ER.

I am now an attending
physician as of today.

You'll have to be on the agenda
if you want to--

Yeah, right.
Let me break it down for you.

What we do is take care
of the patients

that nobody else wants
to deal with, alright?

The homeless alcoholics

drug addicts, psychotics.

All of us

especially the nurses

put ourselves at risk every day.

Every day.

And when the wards
don't wanna go over

the nurse-to-patient ratio

because they wanna
follow the rules

guess who sucks up
the surplus?

The ER does.

And never mind that that means

having admitted patients parked

on gurneys in the hallway
for days

and that our nurses have
to cover three times

as many patients
as anybody else

we're the safety net.

We do not have the luxury
of abiding by the rules

because we don't kick patients
out on the streets.

So, we get creative.

And, yes, it's against the rules
to send a patient home

with an IV, because
worst-case scenario

he'll do something stupid

but Sam Taggart is not

a worst-case-scenario
kind of person.

But none of us are,
because to work down there

you have to have some sort
of faith in people

and in your ability
to help them.

She didn't inject the drugs
into the IV, the patient did.

And what would you have her do?

Deny a potentially
lifesaving treatment

because the guy maybe might
do something stupid later?

She's an excellent nurse.

And she did what almost
anybody else would do

and she should not be punished

because a patient
made a bad choice.

I mean, we have so many things
working against us.

Don't-don't be
another one of them.

[clears throat]

And they all deserve a raise.

Don't make me come back here.

[serene music]

(Abby)
Have you journeyed to
the springs of the sea?

Or walked in the recesses
of the deep?

What are you doing with that?

Souvenir.

Mm-hmm.

You come with me.

[gasps]

[chuckles]

Some we had to
put up for them.

Dr. Greene, Greg.

You're the only one
who's ever gotten to do two.

(Abby)
'I don't see
Carter up there.'

'He wouldn't do it.'

He said it was defacing
government property.

[both laugh]

We're gonna miss
you so damn much.

Have the gates of death
been shown to you?

Hey! I was
looking for you.

Do I have to go
up there and apologize?

No. Um..

I got a week's suspension,
no pay, but..

...it could have
been a lot worse so..

...thank you.

Nurses got to
stick together, right?

Alright, I gotta
run the catch.

What is the way
to the abode of light?

And where does darkness reside?

- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5--
- Frank, passion, intensity!

It's a dance of immigrants,
stuck between two worlds.

Yeah, well, I'd better get
better at it by Saturday

or I'll be deported.

What, is Connie
gonna kick you out?

Worse. She'll make me
buy her something expensive.

Hold on, hold on a second.

Let me show you.

Apilado.

Now la cadencia.

Five, six, seven, eight.

[instrumental music]

I've been stumbling
around here all day!

What were you waiting for?

Where is everybody?

There's a double run coming in.

I'm taking this.

- I'm not here.
- Me neither.

'Hey..'

Tell that big Croat to bring you
back for a visit sometime.

Keep your head up, Frank.

[siren wailing]

I guess I let the cat
out of the bag, huh?

This kind of group thing
I was sort of hoping to avoid

but, um, Luka's picking me up,
but since you're all here

I just, I want to say
it's been a great decade.

Excuse me?

What the hell?

She's leaving, Archie.

- When?
- Now, you idiot.

What?

- You are?
- Yeah.

She.. You are?

Oh, you never said anything.

Well, I just, I..

I kind of thought
you got the idea.

I didn't!

I-I didn't!

- Oh..
- I...well, I'm, well..

You know, Archie, it's amazing
that you've managed to make

my last moment here
about you.

- I love that.
- I love you, too.

[all laugh]

Okay, okay.

[chuckles]

I'm gonna miss you guys.

We'll be thinking about you.

So long.

Bye, Abby.

[serene music]

[music continues]

Have you comprehended the vast
expanses of the earth?

Tell me if you know all this.
