(male narrator)
Previously on"ER."

Sleeping with you,
it counts as poor judgment.

I...thought we fit
well together.

Bertha's family is suing.

You're kidding.
They said they wouldn't do that.

You're an intern,
you'll be protected.

It's the rest of us
who are going to fry.

It was a kid, right?

Patient you should have saved.

He was my son.

Your son...died in this ER?

I'm not sure
why I've done anything

I've done
since that day.

Looks like the Gates-Taggart
merger's in full swing.

You mean "The Brady Bunch"
from hell?

No, actually, it's going great,
but she'll never admit it.

He's never been happier.
He just loves to complain.

Oh, your lasagna was amazing.

Really good, yeah.

In fact, we all had seconds.

Yeah, they're
hitting the books.

You make it there okay?

I don't have to send
a rescue party?

No, but I could use a yak
with a cask of brandy.

(Tony)
'I'll see what I can do.'

- Did you get any sleep?
- Maybe three hours.

(Samantha)
'Yeah, well, go to bed early'

and give Alex a big hug
and kiss from me.

Hey, Alex,
your mom says goodnight.

'Night.

That's the best
you're going to get.

Alright, have a good shift.

Bye.

(Alex)
'The contractile vacuole
of the paramecium'

excretes excess water
regulating osmotic pressure.

I knew that once.
How's the English paper?

"In spite of a terminal illness

"Johnny Gunther lives
with passion

"emphasizing the author's theme
of living

like there is no tomorrow."

I hope you can back
that up with specifics.

So, if we get
our homework done

are you gonna let
us go to that party?

Didn't we talk about this?

Come on, it's Friday night.

Yeah, and tomorrow you want

to go to Alpine Valley

'cause you wanna go
snowboarding for the weekend.

Besides,
it's a blizzard out there.

It's only five blocks away.

We'll walk,
and we'll be home by 10:00.

No, we all made a deal.
Homework.

(Simon)
Migraine headache?

Just got Imitrex.

- Slip and fall?
- Broken coccyx.

His wife's coming
to pick him up.

Yeah, don't count on it.

Already a foot
on the ground.

Jumbo Mart's closing early.

You are a snow angel.

And that, my friends,
is the board.

Wow, your day
was pretty qu--

Hey! Hey!
Do not say the "Q" word.

You can think it,
but you never say it.

Okay, well, if it
stays, uh, not busy

we'll do a suture
lab with pigs' feet.

Hmm, guess I'll have
to miss that one.

No, you don't.
Kaya's snowed in.

You get to stay.

- I was up till 2:00 last night.
- Good for you.

I didn't leave Tracy's
until almost 4:00.

Here, I got an extra one.

- Can't we get somebody else--
- Take it like a man, Grady.

Oh, uh, Banfield
is stuck

in Omaha
at the ACEP conference.

She wants you to cover
her day shift tomorrow.

Oh, n-n-n-no. She can..

- She's got, like, 12 hours to--
- Yeah?

Take it like a man, Brenner.

Were you aware
that Mrs. Mendenhall

complained of red stools?

It wasn't discussed.

Your intern Dr. Wade
tried to bring it up

but you told him to

"stick to the thyroid."

Do you recall that?

The patient was here

for routine elective surgery.

But didn't Dr. Wade have
important information to share?

In retrospect, yes.

Is it your standard practice
to cut off

an intern's presentation?

It is when you have an hour
to round on 50 patients.

So you're saying
being busy

is an excuse
for negligence?

Objection.
Lacks foundation.

Doctor, did you know
that your intern

went to the family
and admitted fault?

Assumes facts not in evidence.

Dr. Wade had the moral fortitude
to be honest with the family.

- Why can't you?
- Objection. Argumentative.

Dr. Wade lacks experience.

I advise my client
not to answer.

...years to understand
the system.

How long does it take
to lose your integrity?

This is a public teaching
hospital.

'We are overwhelmed
with patients--'

...not continue in this way.

...of training young doctors.

To get through the day,
we have to rely

on our interns,
it's not the perfect system

'but it's the best
we have, and yes'

things can fall
through the cracks!

I said we
need a recess.

Fine.

You are not following
my instructions.

I need to explain
what happened.

No, you need
to keep your mouth shut.

Answer "yes", "no",
or "I don't know."

Be a good girl, and you won't
lose your medical license.

[theme music]

- 'There you go.'
- Oh, I-I'm sorry.

- I-I didn't order a..
- A Bahama Mama.

Courtesy of the gentleman
at the end of the bar.

Could you just take the drink
back, thank the gentleman

and ask him to leave
me alone, please?

Now, I can't do that.

- Why not?
- He was very insistent.

[sighs]

(Neela)
'I was in there for four hours.'

(Simon)
'That is a long time
in the hot seat.'

Yeah, it's ridiculous.
I came across like a fool.

Well, that's to be expected.

I mean, their job
is to discredit you.

Well, they're good at it
'cause after that grilling

even I think
I'm incompetent.

Well, you're not,
so just take a break

and I'll-I'll keep the surgical
consults to a minimum.

You know, I don't know
if you're being nice

or if you just don't want
me touching your patients.

Hey, Simon, can you reassess
our fever girl?

Yeah, no problem.

Uh, if you don't mind

can you check
on the interns

in the break room?

Temp's down,
no source.

She needs
a catheterized urine.

That can be a little traumatic.

How about conscious sedation?

She might stop breathing
or drop her BP.

It's too risky for such
a simple procedure.

You sure?

Sam, Tony called.
I couldn't find you.

(woman on TV)
'And with two feet
of snow predicted'

'authorities say to stay indoors
and off the roads.'

(Frank)
'Chicago, I hope
you're listening.'

Hey, Chaz.

Hey, Neela, Frank.

Surprised you made it in.

I'm dedicated.

I'm supposed to observe
every Friday night.

Well, you can observe a drunk

sleeping it off
in exam three

or you can help me
with the Christmas decorations.

There's nothing going on.

You might as
well go home.

Now that I'm here?

I mean, I was lucky
to make it this far.

(Neela)
'Good point.'

(Paul)
'Stay subcuticular
through the flap'

but distal to the tip.

Half-buried
vertical mattress?

- Yeah.
- Uh-huh.

Looks good.

So, dude

what was up with you and Dawn
last night?

Nothing.

Nothing?
You were slow dancing.

If you can call that dancing.

Where was your wife?

We couldn't get
a babysitter.

Look, Dawn got drunk and--

You guys go
to Ike's last night?

Uh, there was a party.

Oh, really?
I didn't hear about it.

At Tracy's,
just for the interns.

And the nurses.

And a...couple of residents.

(man on TV)
'As the storm moves
across the central plain'

'we're well past Omaha's..'

[slurping]

Mm. Sure you don't want some?

Positive.

Last time I saw you
was at registration.

I thought we were
in the same classes.

It's like you've been
avoiding me for three days.

Yeah, I-I changed
my schedule.

Okay.

Can you believe
every flight's been canceled?

And now, of course, every
hotel room in town is booked.

Yes, I know.

[tapping]

Listen, what we talked about
that time in the break room..

Yeah, I had a very
bad day that day.

You know, if there's..

...ever anything more
you want to discuss..

I-I'm a very...private person.

I understand that.

It would be
between you and me.

I have a lot of reading to do.

[sighs]

They say the storm
will pass by morning.

Figure the airports
will open up by noon.

(male #1)
'You know, folks,
it might be a little cold'

outside, but we are gonna
warm it up

with a trip to a little place
I like to call Kokomo.

[instrumental music]

* Aruba Jamaica ooh *

* I wanna take ya *

* Bermuda Bahama
come on pretty mama.. *

He's not too bad.

Hey, you know what?

Good music, good company,
good booze.

This could be an okay night.

(Samantha)
'Things were slow in the OR'

so I borrowed a nitrous setup.

- Are you sure it's safe?
- Very.

Sam, are we authorized
to use this?

Come on, dental assistants
use this stuff like water

'and they don't have our
monitoring capabilities.'

Is there a problem?

- No.
- No.

Alright, we're good to go.

Very cool.

Why don't you use it
down here all the time?

Good question.

All done.

She didn't even flinch.

(Chaz)
'I'll go run it to the lab.'

She'll be awake
in five minutes.

- Thank you.
- Mm-hm.

Nice work.
I'll get ready for the traumas.

[clinking]

Hey, everybody.
How you doing, every..?

Can I have your attention,
please for a second?

Ah.

[coughs]

Is there a doctor in the house?

[laughs]

'I know you're all doctors.'

Uh, well, you know

w-we're gonna be here
all night.

Might as well, might as well
get to know each other.

Right?

I'm Archie Morris

from County General in Chicago.

'And, uh, you know what?'

Why don't we,
why-why don't we go around?

Okay, we'll go around.

Tell us your name,
where you're from

maybe, maybe, maybe a story
of your funniest ER patient

whatever you want.

Who wants to go first?

Okay. I'll start.

I'll start by introducing
my colleague

the chair of our department

the very beautiful
and talented

Dr. Catherine Banfield.

Anything you want
to share, Cate?

Not really.

You know what, I'll be honest.

She has a reputation
as a bit of a hard-ass.

Does your boyfriend
need another beer?

He is not my boyfrie..

- 'Right, Dr. Cole?'
- Give me a refill, please.

Make it a double.

But, you know,
deep down inside..

...she really, really,
really cares.

Ah.

[siren wailing in the distance]

Did you ever call
Gates back?

- Oh, man.
- Good thing I'm here.

Teenage girl, full arrest.

Hey, what took
you guys so long?

Waiting on the damn snowplows.

Her name's Ashley.

Backseat passenger,
car versus utility pole.

She was ejected
through the rear window.

- Very drunk.
- Did she ever have a pulse?

- No.
- Is that gray matter?

Looks like an open
skull fracture.

One, two, three.

Asystole on the monitor.

(Neela)
'Resume compressions.'

(Samantha)
'What do you guys want?'

Blunt trauma, no vitals.

Not an indication
for thoracotomy.

- 'She's so young.'
- 'Okay.'

(Simon)
'Let's try and fix anything
reversible.'

Pneumothorax, tamponade..

(Neela)
Bilateral chest tubes,
pericardial tap

'and four units of O-neg.'

- Sounds like a plan.
- Patient number two is here.

At least they're
not doing CPR.

- Grady wants another nurse.
- Well, we're a little busy.

- 'We've got this, Sam.'
- Go check it out.

Tell us what you need.

Fine.

What's the story?

Driver with altered
mental status

chest trauma and a really bad
shoulder dislocation.

What's your name?

Come on,
tell us your name.

[groaning]

Portable C-spine, chest,
pelvis and left shoulder.

(Samantha)
'Alex?'

Alex?

Mom.

Alex.

[machine beeping]

- Did you call her parents?
- I left a voicemail.

The cops should go to her house.

I could use a
second Thora-Seal.

Be right back.

I'm in. Bag him.

(Samantha)
'Tony, wake up.'

Alex snuck out of the house.

He was in a car crash.

You need to check on Sarah.

There's not much blood
in the chest.

Let's get O-neg and a vent.

- You ready for the reduction?
- Soon as we tape this in.

(Dawn)
'Sam, I can take over in here.'

- No, I'm okay.
- Suri can do it.

(Samantha)
'No, she's got another trauma
out there.'

Look, I'm not going
anywhere, okay?

Let's fix this shoulder
before the paralytics wear off.

Okay, come back as soon
as you're done in there.

Ready, steady, pulling.

Uh, the humeral head
is...stuck.

(Neela)
'Let's try again.
I'll give you direct pressure.'

Go for it.

No, it won't budge.
I'll get the skin hooks.

(Samantha)
'Labs are ready.'

Trauma panel,
type and cross four?

And blood alcohol level.

Yeah, no, he doesn't drink.

I need you to keep still..

Doc, is the girl
gonna make it?

Pretty unlikely.

Well, how about the boy?

It's too soon to tell.

Backseat passenger.

Head trauma or drugs
and alcohol.

Okay, titrate Ativan
and get him a head CT.

Also has
a sternal contusion.

EKG and a chest X-ray.

- Where did you put her?
- Leo, try to relax.

I'm right here, Ashley!

(Samantha)
'No, no, that
is not a good answer.'

I wanna talk
to your supervisor.

- Skin hooks.
- The blood bank is outta O-neg.

And Red Cross can't deliver
because of the snow.

- He's got a good crit.
- Yeah, for now.

(Samantha)
'Hello, what is up
with the O-neg?'

'We have multiple
trauma victims here.'

What do you
expect us to do?

We should get Dawn
in here.

(Samantha)
'Uh, send O-positive.'

'The patient is a male.'

That'll work
until we get the cross match.

Pulling.

There you go.

Got a pulse back at the wrist.

Okay, shoulder immobilizer
and right to CT.

Alright.

'I got the Lifepak.'

The O-2 tank is full.

The chest tube is on water seal.

Okay, I'll go check on Grady.

I'll help you
with the sling.

I think I've got it.

I got a little musical game

that we're gonna have
some fun with, okay?

And the hotel has
generously donated prizes

to all the winners.

Stuffed mushrooms
and, uh, potato skins.

Your choice.

Okay? Yeah.

You guys ready?
Okay.

[piano music]

* Oh the weather outside is.. *

* ...Frightful *

* But the fire is so.. *

No winners yet.

* ...Delightful *

* And since we've
no place to go *

* Let it.. *

Stop.

[laughter]

* Let it stop *

* Make it stop *

[crowd applauding]

Whoo!

Stranded in Omaha
in the dead of winter

listening to lame-ass music.

Does this suck or what?

[laughing]

You know what?

'Dermatology gets
to go to Maui.'

I know.

Radiology to Acapulco?

I mean, just like always

ER gets no respect.

Uh-huh.

I mean, we bust our asses

taking care of people

that no one else wants
to touch..

...24/7.

We deserve better.

[chuckling]

Got any foreigner?

Do you think we deserve better?

(all)
Yeah!

[laughing]

[rock music]

Ready, and switch.

No tension pneumo,
no effusion.

Did they ever
find the parents?

Two more units,
and then call it.

(Dawn)
'Faster and deeper, Ryan.'

How is the CT?

Good news, abdomen's benign,
no brain bleed.

- But he won't wake up.
- Give him some time.

- Oh, my God.
- Front seat passenger.

I was trying to triage her.
She wouldn't wait.

- You okay?
- Broken wrist on the right.

Everything else
seems fine.

- I need to get back out there.
- Okay.

(Simon)
'Prep a subclavian
on the right.'

How is he?

How does he look, huh?

- Were you drinking?
- No.

- A little, but he wasn't.
- Sam..

You were supposed to be home
studying, you knew that.

- We were.
- You snuck out.

It wasn't like that.

He has a learner's
permit, Sarah.

He needs an adult
in that car.

Ashley was too drunk to drive.
He was just trying to help.

You can't call Tony
or you can't call me or a cab?

What the hell is wrong
with you, Sarah?

- What's wrong with you?
- 'Introducer needle.'

Uh, I need a thin wall,
not a 25, Sam.

- You got this?
- Yeah.

Okay.
Let's check you over, Sarah.

- I want to stay here.
- Back in a few minutes, okay?

Come on.

[machine beeping]

* Said can I take you home
where we can be alone *

* Next we were movin' on
and he was with me *

* Yeah me *

* We were movin' on
and singin' that same old song *

* Yeah with me singin' *

* I love rock and roll *

* Put another dime
in the jukebox baby *

* I love rock and roll *

* So come and take your time
and dance with me **

[crowd cheering]

Dude, you have got
the coolest boss

in the whole world.

Whoo!
How y'all doing?

Alright.

Uh, why don't we get
Archie up here

so we can do a duet.

(female #1)
'Archie!'

[crowd cheering]

(Cate)
'Yeah! Give him some love!'

Give him some love!

(Cate)
'Yeah, give him some love.'

[crowd cheering]
Archie! Archie!
Archie! Archie!

[cheering]

Alright, ooh.

[laughs]

What do we want
to sing, huh?

- I don't, I don't--
- "White Christmas?"

(female #2)
'Yeah.'

[groans]

I don't think so.

"Free bird!"

"Free bird."

[cheering]

Do you know
"Walk This Way?"

[crowd cheering]

You know "Walk This Way?"

Whoo!

Tell you what, guys.
Tell you what, guys.

Uh, we, we are going
to "Walk This Way"

'...because I think'

the show is over,
I'm sorry.

Let's get you
some coffee.

Let's get you some coffee.

However, ACEP rocks,
I mean it.

- It's, uh, you okay?
- Whoo!

[crowd applauding]

Good-goodnight, Omaha!

Hold compressions.

Asystole.

That's it.

1:57, I'll get a shroud.

I'll clean her up.

Let's move her
to the suture room.

Tidal volume 500, AC 14.

Turn him down to 80%.

You called it?

Crit's good, 41.

'Blood alcohol
level is zero.'

He wasn't drinking.

[door opens]

(Tony)
'Sam.'

CT's all good.

Small hemothorax

and a bad concussion.

Dawn, this ET tube
can use a little suctioning.

You wanna step out?

Sarah's here.
She's getting a cast.

Yeah, I know.

Things seem
stable in there.

How are you doing?

He was driving
some drunk girl's car.

She just died.

And I don't know
if he's going to wake up.

[sobbing]

I'm sorry, I..

I shouldn't
have given in to them.

[sniffling]

What are you talking about?

I let them go to the party.

[sniffles]

You what?

I tried to call you.

No.

No-no, no, no.

We are not doing this now.

Sam.

[vomiting]

Alright, alright.

There you go.

[coughing]

Now you're gonna feel
a whole lot better.

Alright?

[moaning]

You know, I hate
to say this..

...but there's
a lesson here.

[groans]

Yep.

Red wine and scotch
don't mix.

Gotta remember that.

- You okay?
- Mm.

- Want to take a little rest?
- Mm.

Let me know
when you're ready.

[groans]

[feet thumping]

[thumping stops]

Sorry.

[sighs]

You know..

...my dad was born in Lincoln.

Not too far from here.

When I was little..

...he used to drive us
to my grandma's house.

I remember
the ride took forever.

He'd, he'd yell at me

for kicking
the back of his seat..

...or getting crumbs
on the floor

or...breathing
too loud.

[chuckles]

That was my dad.

Yeah.

You know, he, uh,
he died last year.

'We hadn't spoken in years.'

He's got this storage locker..

...in Indiana.

'They can either trash it'

'or I can go deal
with his stuff.'

It could be
a complete waste of time.

Or maybe...I'd learn something

about a father
I didn't really know.

Ortho can take Alex
in an hour.

No problems.
His vitals are stable.

Dr. Brenner, Leo's
positive on opiates

benzos and marijuana.

Okay.

How about, um, aspirin
and Tylenol?

We sent them.
None detected.

See that?

I get attitude
from all the interns.

Well, maybe they don't like
you picking on one of them.

You mean Andrew?
We've worked through that.

When I was an intern, I was
friends with all my residents.

Well, you're more
like an attending.

I don't feel that way.

Well, you make
them nervous.

You showed them
some teeth.

Man, no one's delivering pizza
in this snow.

How can you be hungry
at a time like this?

You still got to eat?

I may have to nuke
the pigs' feet.

Has anyone seen
trauma two's chart?

Right here,
Dr. Rasgotra.

Oh, Brenner, I got family
in here from Gilda--

(Laverne)
'I need some help here!'

[sighs]

Wait a minute, Chaz.

Weren't you
with that Ashley girl?

Yeah.

Somebody has to
talk to her brother.

- No, I'm supposed to observe.
- Mm-mm.

I've been stalling
for an hour.

You're all I've got.

This is Chaz Pratt.

He's one of our
student doctors.

Where's Ashley?

[sighs]
You two are the brothers?

No, just Tyler.

And you are..

The babysitter, I guess.

Tyler's supposed to hang out
at my place till midnight.

That was two hours ago.

'Picked up the message and the
little guy was freaking out'

'so I brought him in.'

Can I see my sister?

Her doctors are working on her.

Where are their parents?

'In Europe
for a couple of weeks.'

You got it from here, 'cause
I gotta get my truck towed

or dug out
or something.

Sating well at 50%.

Less than a 100 cc's
from the chest.

Sam, I let them go
to the party as a reward

because they busted their ass
on their homework.

We all agreed,
no party tonight.

I quizzed him,
he knew it all.

- Great.
- I tried to call you.

They walked to the party.

I don't know what to do.

I'm trying to be his friend,
I'm trying to be a good father..

Tony.

Did Ashley really die?

Yeah.

[sobbing]

I can't believe it.

That is awful.

It is.

I'm sorry.

Alex, is doing better.

Come on, let's go get
you some Kleenex.

(Neela)
'Head CT was negative?'

(Laverne)
'No fracture, no bleed.'

(Sarah)
'Is that Leo?'

Leo, the kid that calls
you every night?

- What's going on?
- Looks like a bad drug OD.

He's had eight
of Ativan.

I told him not to
take that crap.

What crap?

(Sarah)
'It's called "Trail Mix."'

Kids steal prescription pills
from their parents

and everyone throws it
into a big bowl.

[sighs]

Sats are down intubation tray.

You know what, it could be
antidepressants, push bicarb.

Okay, 100 milli-equivalents
over two minutes.

Come on.

(man on TV)
'Would you like to pick one up?'

(Woman on TV)
'Police are on the scene..'

- 'Forecast doesn't look..'
- 'It's only 30..'

You're not gonna spend 129..

Am I ready for a facelift?

Nothing but news
and infomercials.

When can I see Ashley?

In a little bit.

We've got some magazines.

Eh, I know where they have
some video games.

I want to see my sister.

Okay.

I'll go check
with her doctors.

Hey, Frank..

...I need Brenner to talk
to the little brother.

He's all tied up.

Well, how about
a social worker?

At 3:00 in the morning?

Is there an on-call chaplain
or something?

Trauma two's open.

Grab a cutdown tray,
he's in tamponade.

Chaz, find me an ultrasound.

- Table for two?
- Yeah.

Some, uh, coffee
for you folks?

- Definitely.
- I'll have some hot tea.

We've got a couple
of night owl specials.

A, um, apple pancakes

and a spicy
breakfast burrito.

Ooh, what's in the burrito?

(female #3)
'Uh, eggs, onions,
bell peppers, uh, chorizo'

jalapeno jack cheese
and chunky salsa.

One of those
and a large OJ.

I'll have some dry toast.

And some napkins
when you get a chance.

You need silver. I completely
forgot to set your table.

Pregnancy brain.

'I'd forget my head if it
wasn't screwed on.'

[chuckles]

It's called
a pericardial window.

They're removing blood clots
from around Leo's heart

so it can beat stronger.

- I can't watch this.
- Alright.

Dawn.

- 'No problem. Come on, Sarah.'
- Let you know how it goes.

(Samantha)
'Heart rate's up to 120.'

We can run another
liter of saline.

- What for?
- Case we're behind on fluids.

What if he's bleeding
in the belly?

- CT was negative.
- Yeah, well, things change.

- I want to get Neela in here.
- Alright.

Let's run another crit
and FAST exam.

That's what she would do.

Maybe Grady can break out
and reassess him.

Blood loss is unlikely.

I think it's hypoxia,
dehydration, pain..

What do you know?
I want a surgeon in here.

How's he doing?

- Okay.
- Good.

Have you guys seen
a little boy, six years old?

I left him in the break room
and now he's gone.

He's not in here.

Why won't she wake up?

Why won't she wake up?

Pressure's up to 110.

That's a hell of a lot
better than 60.

Cardiac team's waiting
in the OR.

Let's go.

Nice work, doctor.

He's in sinus tach.

His crit went
from 41 to 38.

Could be just dilutional
from all the fluids.

- That's what I said.
- Or it could be pain.

We could dial up
the sedation.

But, then you'd miss
an intra-abdominal bleed.

Ultrasound's still negative.

He's not bleeding
in the belly.

Or the chest.

Well, you can't be sure
of that without a repeat CT.

You know what, I really think
that my kid

deserves a surgical attending.

Where's Dubenko?
Or where's Crenshaw?

- Not available.
- What?

Dawn's here.
Alex is in good hands.

- Let's take a break.
- I don't need a break!

You want a cup
of coffee?

'You want something to eat?'

You never listen to me.

I'm checking for blood loss,
I ordered a third CBC.

Neela and Brenner agree
with my plan.

You've got
to trust us, Sam.

Trust you?
Why would I trust you?

I wanted Alex
to stay home and study.

- You knew that!
- Sam..

What?

You'd rather be his friend
than an adult.

Come here.
I know how to be a parent.

Oh, really?
Why would I believe that?

You don't know
anything about their friends

you let them do
whatever they want.

You've made mistake after
mistake with your kid

and now you wanna do
the same with mine, yeah, right!

Go ahead and keep screwing up
Sarah but I am sure as hell

not gonna let you
near Alex again.

- I know you're upset.
- Don't!

And I know
you don't mean that.

Okay.

It's okay.

I need to be with him.

I saw what my classmates were
doing, during med school

during residency

but I wasn't going
there, you know.

I mean, every other
night on call.

That's no way
to raise a kid.

You know, so...I put if off.

Oh, nothing wrong with that.

I mean, by the time
I was pregnant

I had a good salary,
a good schedule.

I was secure.

I was older.

A lot of people
prefer it that way.

Hm.

When we lost...Daryl

I was 40.

But we tried.

You know.

You know, eventually
it worked out.

I mean, everything looked
pretty great.

The baby looked perfect
on the ultrasound.

[sighs]

And you know..

...then at three months..

You had a miscarriage?

'I'm sorry.'

I just took it as a sign
it wasn't supposed to be.

[sighs]

Look, I made a choice.

I devoted myself to my training,
to my profession.

And now, I'm chief
of an academic department.

Yeah.
That is a huge accomplishment.

I invested in my career

I've been a great success.

[sighs]

You can't have everything.

[door opens]

I thought you
were sleeping.

Leo's surgery went well.

They fixed his heart.

Good.

And, uh, Alex is going up
for shoulder surgery.

Want to go see him?

I hate that room.

Okay. Later, then, huh?

You okay in here?

Okay, why don't you lie down
and get some sleep?

I heard Sam yelling.

Yeah, she's mad at me.

She has a right to be.

'It'll be okay.'

(Dawn)
'His third crit went up.'

'That's good.'

How's he doing?

- Better with fluids and Versed.
- Brought you a water.

Would you just put it
on the counter, please?

Heart rate's 160.

Pressure's down to 80 systolic.

Get Neela back in here.
He needs blood.

- Sam, you don't know that.
- Well, it's my best guess.

Okay, there are two units
in the cooler.

Where do you think
he's bleeding?

It doesn't matter where.
We need to transfuse.

(Neela)
'Give me the ultrasound.'

- Stat portable chest.
- Repeat the HemoCue.

- Simon, you see any P waves?
- What?

They're there.
You just can't see them.

Excuse me.

Hey, I can't get
to the subclavian.

(Simon)
'Breath sounds a bit down here.'

- Alright.
- Place another chest tube.

- 'Tony, I need to prep.'
- What are you doing?

Everybody back off.

I'm gonna run the EKG
at twice the speed.

It'll spread out
the complexes.

I need to ultrasound.

There might be hemothorax.

(Tony)
'Alright.
Shut up and look.'

'No P waves.
It's not sinus tach.'

It's SVT.
We need to cardiovert.

He's not bleeding.

He's got an arrhythmia
from a bruised heart.

- Let's get them on there, Sam.
- Hold on.

Clear.

(Simon)
'Heart rate's 82.'

(Neela)
'Looks like normal sinus.'

(Dawn)
'BP's 110/74.'

Thank you.

- 'Dr. Brenner?'
- Yeah?

(Chaz)
'You got a minute?'

Looks like I do now.

Let's run a 12 lead.

(Neela)
'CK, troponin
and cardiac echo.'

The girl who died, her little
brother's here by himself.

- What about the parents?
- They're out of town.

And...he saw her body.

I don't really think he gets it,
but I don't know what to do.

Okay. Okay, I'll..
Come on.

I'll-I'll talk to him.

(female #3)
'More coffee?'

No.
Just the check, please.

Okey-dokey.
I'll be right back.

[phone ringing]

- Hello.
- 'Is this Dr. Banfield.'

Yes.

Oh. Oh. Hold on.

Just a minute.

A room just opened
up at the hotel.

- Great.
- Just one room.

Oh. Yeah, go ahead.

- Hmm.
- Go ahead. No.

I can hang out here.

- You sure?
- Yeah.

Alright, I'll take it.

Okay. Thank you.

[sighs]

Uh, here you go.
You folks have a..

Oh, I think my baby
just kicked first time.

[laughs]

- Hm.
- That's wonderful.

Uh, can you feel it?

It's like popcorn popping.

Yes, it is.

Congratulations.

I got to go call my husband.

Pff.

Hey, Tyler.

Hi.

This is Dr. Brenner.

Nice to meet you, Tyler.

Is Ashley awake yet?

(Simon)
'Tyler..'

...your sister
was in a car crash.

She flew out
the window.

Right.

And she hit the ground
very hard.

And it made her stop breathing

and-and then,
her heart stopped beating.

We did everything
we could for her, and we..

We gave her medicine
and oxygen and blood.

But sometimes..

Sometimes people
are-are injured so bad..

...that we can't save them.

'And that's what happened
to your sister.'

We did everything
we could for her..

...but we couldn't help her.

'And she died.'

Maybe you can
try some more.

Maybe she needs
another operation.

That wouldn't work.

Are you sure?

I'm sorry.

Your mom and dad are gonna
come back to town tomorrow.

In the meantime,
we're gonna keep an eye on you.

Can you stay
with me now?

I'm not going anywhere.

(Paul)
'Hey, Dr. Brenner..'

...Alex is going
up to surgery.

Everyone else is tucked in.

Okay if we send
the interns home a little early?

- Yeah, it's fine by me.
- Cool.

Ugh, I was going to catch
some z's up in the call room.

But I think I'll go home,
see my kids.

(Neela)
'I thought
this shift would never end.'

- Yeah.
- Uh-huh.

You know, when I was
an intern

after a rough night,
my resident would take us

all out for breakfast.

It's my treat.
What do you say?

You know, with the snow, I'm
pretty sure everything's closed.

- Right.
- But thank you, Dr. Rasgotra.

Maybe next time.

They all hate me.

You're just their boss.

It's not fun hanging out
with the boss.

Well, if I hurry, I can
pre-round before I sign out.

You did a fantastic job
on the traumas.

- Everyone pitched in.
- Incredible saves.

I wouldn't wanna be
stuck in here

all night with anyone but you.

- Oh, that's enough.
- No, I'm serious.

And forget
about the deposition.

If the case goes to court,
I'll testify on your behalf.

You'll be golden.

And for what it's worth

you can ask me out
to breakfast any morning.

Except this morning.
I've got to cover for Banfield.

[sighing]

[sighs]

Goodnight, Dr. Banfield.

Goodnight, Dr. Morris.

[groans]

Ah.

Just for the record..

...tonight never happened.

[sighs]

(Tony)
'Since Sarah finally
fell asleep'

when Alex goes to surgery,
I'm gonna take her home.

You want me to pick you up
a change of clothes?

- Yeah, sure.
- Okay.

Uh, sorry
about your son.

I was out at the investigation.

He swerved to avoid a minivan

that skidded
through a red light.

Missed 'em completely.

Could have been a lot worse.

Yeah.

[sighs]

Ortho wants
a couple more films

before they take him up.

Alex, your mom's back.

Did he just open his eyes?

- I think so.
- Alex?

(Samantha)
'Hey, over here.'

Hi. Hi.

It's okay. It's okay to sleep.

I'm right here, okay?

I got to take these to the lab.

I was really mad. I am..

Those things
that I said, Tony, I..

'What I said about Sarah,
I didn't mean that.'

Okay.

I know you try.

And that we all make mistakes.

It's just..

...this is
a pretty big mistake.

[sighs]

''Cause he's everything to me.'

And I'm still just trying
to deal with it.

[water sloshing]

What the hell?

- Oh, God.
- Pressure's down.

Lost the pulse.
We got to open up his chest.

- PEA arrest!
- I'll bag him.

(Tony)
'Four units
packed cells, four FFP.'

- Tony..
- Two liters gushed out.

Delayed aortic rupture.

We need
to get a side clamp on it.

I've got it.

'Hold CPR.'

'Get ready
for internal compressions.'

(Dawn)
'Two units hanging.'

(Simon)
Chest incision right now.

'Rib spreader, please.'
