(female narrator)
Previously on"ER.."

Chase me!

One more touchdown,
then we get ice cream.

Booker and Banfield, that's all

the Bears are gonna
need this year.

That we should ride in together

unless someone might see us.

Um, being covert is more
exciting, isn't it?

We've broken up. We're
working together. It's weird.

We said we weren't
gonna screw up our schedules.

Some-some awkwardness..

...while we're finding
our bearings is..

Weird.

I should have never let

you and Sarah go out that night.

No, you were being cool.

We may have to put you
on the transplant list.

(Brenner)
'So, Joanie's not her mother,
and Lucy has no idea?'

I guess I'm in big trouble.

Only five hours in
and it's safe to say..

...best Valentine's Day ever.

I gotta go. I've to check
yesterday's paperwork.

Get the car gassed up.

I thought my hours
were tough. It's 5 a.m.

I'm a rookie detective,
they're looking

for reasons not to like me.

You know, I think
what you're doing to me

is tantamount
to police brutality.

Where did you hear that line?
Some"Dirty Harry"movie?

No, I think it was a porno.

One-one of
the feminist ones, though.

Oh, right. Yeah, I bet.

So, what can I do
to sweeten your day?

Hmm.

- Candy hearts.
- What?

You know those
little candy hearts

with stuff written on them?

[zipping]
Get me some.

I've never had them.

Are you crazy?
Of course you have.

Everybody gets those.

Not me.

No one's ever
given you a Necco?

No.

Forget it.
You're nuts. I gotta go.

- Then go.
- Then stop.

- You stop first.
- Archie. Muah.

Oh, Detective Diaz.

He bought me a plastic tiara

and took me to Hampton Court.

Said I deserved to be
treated like a queen.

Well, he got that right.

We were 15.

Oh.

What happened to him?

I heard he runs the Bombay
Brasserie in Alaska.

Has three little kids and
hands that smell of dal-chini.

It's not such a bad life.

What about you?

Me?

Uh, there was-there was
one time, when, um..

...this girl and I went to Bali.

Some-some surfing
and some diving.

It was nice.

But Bali, uh, well
Bali was nice.

I like it there.

What about the girl?

Yeah, she was nice, too.

Right. You probably don't even
remember her name, do you?

[laughing]

No, uh, her name was Nicole.

It's Nicole.

I was thinking,
maybe we...maybe

we should go away sometime.

Well, maybe in a month
or so. We'll see.

Where were you thinking?

I'll tell you later.

[laughing]

Alex, honey,
I'm sorry you didn't sleep

but you are not
staying home from school.

I know. It sucks.

We'll talk about it
when I get home, okay?

Bye.

Alex had a girlfriend
for two whole days

and she just dumped him
tonight on the phone.

- Wow. Happy Valentine's Day.
- I know.

I tried to tell him
she's just a spoiled

little princess and
forget about it, but..

Forget about it?
Weren't you ever 15?

- Uh, no.
- What happened?

Some kind of brawl at
an after-hours club on Fulton.

- I'm Dr. Morris.
- Get this thing out of me.

How did you end up with
a tire iron in your belly?

- It was about this girl.
- I've got a forearm fracture.

- And a hefty lip lac.
- Another one?

Must've been some girl. Okay.

You and Gates
take tire iron guy.

The rest go to triage.

I'll take this.

Teddy Lempel, 63,
bronchospasm at a wedding.

Still going at 6 a.m.?

Pretty raucous wedding.

We were just getting started.

They wanted to be married
at daybreak on Valentine's Day.

It's a Midsummer Night's Dream
themed wedding.

- Teddy was officiating.
- As Puck.

- But you already guessed that.
- 'Hypoxic on the scene.'

Sats went up
after a nasal cannula O2 .

Are you alright?

I'm fine. I'm fine.

It was just
an allergy or something.

- Don't listen to him.
- No, no, I saw it.

- He turned blue.
- Baby, you need a doctor.

Lovers and madmen
have such seething brains.

First unit's up.

Ow, my stomach, man!

Do something,
please. Dude, take it out.

I can't do anything
until the surgeons get here.

Just give him ten more morphine.

The first dose didn't
seem to touch him.

I already did.

- You already did what?
- Gave him ten of morphine.

- About two minutes ago.
- Sam.

You can't just give
meds without an order.

'Oh, come on you were
just about to ask me for it.'

- 'But I hadn't.'
- It's only morphine.

In the OR, I don't
even need an order.

Yeah, well it's
different down here, okay?

If something goes wrong,
it's my ass on the line.

You can't just give
whatever you want.

Is there a problem?

Systolic's down to 88, doctor.
What would you like me to do?

I need some more
blood, Nurse Taggart.

- Thank you.
- 'Gates.'

Go sew up the lip lac.
I got this.

- Oh, come on, Archie.
- Drop it, Sam.

(Archie)
'Set up to incubate.'

We could try one more cycle.

We could.

You don't think
it's a good idea.

Fifteen thousand dollars,
all those hormones

and only a very little
chance of it working.

That's no reason to give up.

I-I want us to raise a child.

I'm not giving up on that.

I'm only saying it doesn't
have to be through IVF.

So, you're back
to adoption, then?

I don't understand
why you're so against it.

I'm not against it. I..

...I just worry we
wouldn't be able to

love that child the same way.

- That's not true.
- It's such an unknown.

It scares me.

And if we had
a biological child

do we know exactly
how that's gonna go?

Well, at least we have
some idea where it came from.

Hmm.

What about an egg donor?

So, you would use
a stranger's egg

but you won't adopt?
That-that makes no sense.

No. Not a stranger.

I can get an egg from
someone who carries my genes.

'Lara's in school at UC now.'

You...wanna use
your niece's egg?

You don't think that's weird?

Mac 3 and an 80,
I'm gonna put a tube down

your throat to help
you to breathe.

No, man, I don't want that.

Do you want etomidate or
ketamine? I think ketamine--

Etomidate, please,
you're not gonna feel

'any of this, I promise you.'

Hey, Dr. Morris.

Hi. What brings you guys around?

We're investigating the brawl
at the Night Kitchen.

- The what?
- 'The club.'

Where the fight broke out.

2000 kids got
stuffed into this

little warehouse,
it's a wonder

'more people didn't get hurt.'

Detective Trent Mallory, CPD.

Oh, uh, Claudia's been
telling me about you.

Detective Diaz is
our little star.

'Mind if we ask
you a few questions?'

- Get the cops out, alright?
- Sorry, guys.

I got stuck with
a transplant patient. Whoa.

Vitals are holding
about 200cc's out.

Hello. I'm Dr. Rasgotra,
the trauma surgeon.

I don't need surgery and I don't

need cops asking
me stuff, alright?

Just get this thing
out of me and let me go!

Wait.

- Whoa.
- Etomidate's in.

- Two units on rapid infuser.
- Throw me more lap pads.

- Everything you've got.
- I'm gonna bleed to death, man.

80, and push the SUX!

And let the OR know
we're sending him up now!

[theme music]

Morning. Waiting on a rig?

- No, a girl.
- Oh, I see.

No, not like that,
a little-little girl.

Her mom's a patient in
the transplant service.

- Hi, Simon.
- Hey.

That's my foster dad.
He said to call

if I need him
to take me to school.

Oh, I think you're gonna
be missing school today.

Why?

I'm gonna let your mom tell you.

Lucy, this is Dr. Banfield.

- Hi.
- Nice to meet you.

Good news, sweetie.

They found me a heart.

- Really?
- Really.

I knew they would.

- I knew it.
- Her heart's in Bloomington.

I'm gonna take
a helicopter there

as soon as they're ready.

Now, Lucy, your mom's gonna go

and get some tests
and some scans done

'and then we're gonna take
her to the operating room.'

It's all happening today?

That's what they tell me.

It's the ER again.
I've gotta go.

Um, I'll come back
as soon as I know anything.

Thank you, Dr. Rasgotra.

Thank you.

Ten minutes?
Are you sure?

Alright, then,
there's a, uh, coffee shop

we can meet at,
across the street.

I'll see you there.

Hey. This is from my girlfriend.

Really?

Yeah, we met last winter.

Snow dog sledding.

It's a crazy story.

Yeah, I'm sure it is.

I'll be back soon.

- Jerry, is that for you?
- Yeah, from Doris.

The Eskimo chick?

She's not an Eskimo.

Excuse me. You okay?

Oh. Yeah, a patient freaked out.

It's under control now.

Listen, about earlier..

I'm sorry if I was out of line.

No, I was being a little dense.

It's okay, it's just
when I'm up in the OR

I have a sort of
different kind of autonomy.

- It's hard to turn it off.
- You don't have to shut it off.

Just let me know what you're
doing before you do it.

- Okay.
- 'Hey, you two.'

Get a room! I think you've
overdosed on mushrooms.

Mushrooms?

Not that kind of mushrooms.

When are we gonna
get out of here?

We're still
waiting on some tests.

What kind of mushrooms

'are we talking about?'

'Huh, this is Teddy Lempel'

the premier
mycologist in Chicago.

He's been voted
the best mushroom man

four years running
by"Fungi"magazine.

(Nina)
'I'm a chef,
and anyone who's anyone knows'

no one can hunt down exquisite
wild mushrooms like Ted.

My gift...my curse.

Alright, can we have
some room here, please?

Quite an entourage.

Alright, I need
to listen to your lungs.

This wedding is because of me

you could say,
and now it might not happen

because of me,
which is quite a paradox.

Shh. Baby, baby, don't fret.

So, you're Cupid?

Oh, it's the
basidiomycetes, really.

Some of which are
known to produce

a mating trigger in sows.

A sort of porcine pheromone,
if you will.

I don't say I know
that it works on humans

but a certain
beverage I concocted

was imbibed by Kevin
and Nina the other night.

'Their eyes met across
a crowded kitchen'

and voila, they were
like Abelard and Heloise.

Tristan and Isolde.

Pyramus and Thisbe.

- Chest films are back.
- Thank you.

I need to look at these
with Radiology. I'll be back.

Come with me.

Well, don't take too long.
Love is fleeting.

He'll be in surgery for a while.
You'll need to come back later.

Ah, that's fine, we got
a bunch of other interviews

we need to do
back at the station.

Oh, nice seeing you, again.

Here, you've been deprived.

(Jerry)
'Neela.'

Special delivery.

You know, I'm waiting on
a call from chopper transport.

I'll be in the break room
if you need me.

- What's this all about?
- Hmm?

Oh, it's from Doris.

Oh, the malamute breeder?

I told you about her?

Lucky guess.

[paper rustling]

[beeps]

[ambulance sirens blaring]

[baby crying]

Dawn, can you redress
my ankle in three

and make sure that my
NPO girl is still NPO

before we ship her to surgery?

(Dawn)
'I got it.'

Excuse me.

Hey, Grady, I got, uh

your STD Buddhist to
take the penicillin.

- Oh, thank God.
- Hi.

Is-is Dr. Morris around?

Uh, are you a family member?

I'm John Carter.

Uh-huh?

Used to work here.

Oh. As what?

[chuckles]

Can you find him?
Can you find Dr. Morris?

- He's around somewhere.
- Carter?

You the one that got
that nurse pregnant

and moved her up to Seattle?

No, that was somebody else.

Sorry, my mistake.

Elixir of love.

My Valentine's Day gift

to the daring among you.

It looks fecal.

It works.

As what? A love potion?

Puck had a magical mixture made

from a flower called
"Love-in-Idleness"

and I've got my mushroom juice.

Correct me if I'm wrong
but didn't that make

Titania fall in
love with an ass?

We're all asses, aren't we?

It was a mistake.

'Right? I mean, that's
what the play's about.'

It's about mistakes.

Perhaps..

...but without the mistake

there'd be no play, would there?

So, what now?
Are you done with me?

Well, we found some
abnormal nodules

that are concerning.

Concerning?

Did you consult a pulmonologist?

Yeah. Anyway--

- Did you order bronchoscopy?
- What's that?

It's a test where they
look into your lungs--

Thanks, I got this.

We can biopsy the nodules
and see what we're dealing with.

(Zadro)
'20 year old,
heart rate in the 60's.'

Went unconscious
and apneic in the rig.

Alright, find Morris.
He should be down the hall.

(Carter)
'Hey, Zades!'

Finally, a familiar face.

Dr. Carter, how
the hell you been?

Not too bad. How about you?

- Same old same old.
- What happened to this guy?

'We were taking
a statement on the brawl.'

He started looking bad.

How long you in town for?

Uh, it all depends.

On what?

A bunch of stuff, actually.

I wanna do it.

I appreciate that. I do.

I mean, it's-it's very sweet

but you need
to think it through.

You've explained it all to me.

It's not like giving blood.

- It's your egg.
- Aunt Cate--

You really should be--

Do you remember when I was 15

and I ran off with that guy?

The 25 year old bartender?

And I called you
from that restaurant.

Uh, it was a bar.

My parents had no idea.

You and Uncle Russell were
the only adults I could talk to.

You saved me.

I remember driving out there.

'Bringing you home.
Cleaning you up.'

Getting you into bed.

That week I spent with you

sleeping in Daryl's room..

'He must have been about three.'

I was so sad then..

...and he was so sweet to me.

I would do anything for you.

We brought him in as a witness.

Flexes with painful stim,
but that's about it.

It was only later
he told us he got punched

in the face
trying to break it up.

Tracy, what's the GCS?

- 1-1-35.
- So what now?

- Tube.
- Good. Do it.

Archie Morris, all grown up.

No way!

What are you doing here?

I have some business
to take care of.

I'm gonna be
in Chicago for a while.

That's great!

- Ready for the etomidate.
- Pushing it now.

I was thinking about picking up
some shifts while I'm here.

You're kidding.
That'd be awesome.

This guy is a legend.

We kind of met outside.

- Suction.
- Yeah.

Might get better alignment
with a shoulder roll.

(Carter)
'So, who should
I talk to about'

getting some
temporary privileges?

That would be
Catherine Banfield.

Our chief.
She should be out there.

- I can see the cords.
- Then go for it.

Looks like you followed
my advice, Archie.

- How's that?
- You set the tone.

I'm off to Bloomington,
they're about to

cross-clamp the donor's
aorta in 40 minutes.

Wow. Joanie in surgery yet?

No, she's still in Radiology

but she should be heading
to the OR any minute.

Okay, well I'll try and catch
her before she goes up.

What are you...what
are you looking for?

Scopolomine patches.

Helicopters make me airsick.

- Really?
- Mm-hmm.

You never told me that.

Well, planes are fine but

helicopters are so jiggly.

Well, that is good to know.

Tell me..

...how do you feel about boats?

What?

Have a safe flight.

Hyperventilate at a rate of 26.

- CT can take him now.
- Alright, let's move.

- Left my backboard.
- Hey, Zades.

You sure you got the story
right on this guy?

- Yeah, why?
- He's in pretty bad shape.

Not your average
punch in the face.

Cops took a report.
People saw it happen.

Good enough for me,
maybe he hit his head

on something on the way down.

- Maybe.
- How's he doing?

Not great.
Minimally responsive.

We had to put a tube
in to breathe for him.

Oh, no.

You know, he seems a lot sicker

than he should be
from one hit.

- Something's not right here.
- Yeah.

It seems like our uniformed
guy got a little mixed up.

This didn't happen at the club.

'It happened at
the station house.'

- It did?
- 'Yeah.'

They brought the guy
in for questioning.

Turns out my guys
weren't watching him

as close as they should've been.

How so?

There was a drunk thug from
Garfield in the holding cell

'with him. They had words
and it turned ugly.'

- I see.
- It's our fault.

We should've had better
control of the situation.

Well, thanks for the update.

I better go check on him.

I'm gonna get you something to
make your tummy feel better.

Alright?

I'm telling you,
drink the juice.

Everybody's doing it.

Thanks, but to be honest

this really doesn't
look potable.

Dr. Carter?

- Hey, Sam. How are you?
- Hi. Good.

Hey, you should probably
be back in bed.

Why? That's for sick people.

- When did you get here?
- Back a little while ago.

It's like Bizarro ER.

Kind of the same, but every
single thing is different.

Well, one thing never
changes, the patients.

- Dr. Carter!
- Hello.

- Wow.
- Welcome back.

- Hey, how are you?
- I didn't even see you come in.

No, I kind of snuck in.

- Hey, how's Kim?
- She's good. She's great.

Actually, she's in Paris
visiting her mom.

Oh, well, how long
are you in town?

That, uh, is still
kind of up in the air.

We're trying to figure
all that out.

I'm still waiting
on that file, Jerry.

Alright, Sam, our migraine
lady's been parked

in this hallway since Tuesday.

Mary, shouldn't you
be, uh, leaning against

a wall somewhere, smoking?

- Dr. Banfield.
- Mmm?

- Meet John Carter.
- Hello.

- I've heard a bit about you.
- All good, I hope.

I would love a couple
of minutes of your time

to talk to you about something.

Pump-flow failed on the L-VAD

while she was in Radiology.

- BP took a dive.
- This is mom?

Pre-transplant, Neela's on
the way to pick up the heart.

Uh, sorry, Jim. You'll
have to catch me later.

It's...John.

Good, you guys are still here.

- Is he okay?
- What did the scan show?

That's what I came
to talk to you about.

You see these areas here?

Multiple cerebral contusions

as well as generalized
brain edema.

- Is that really bad?
- 'Yeah, it is.'

And the radiologist and I are a
little confused about something.

- Hmm? What's that?
- Well..

...the only way to get
a picture like this

is from multiple
blows to the head.

Multiple blows
from different directions

probably from a blunt object.

You can tell that from an X-ray?

I don't know the details

but I do know this,
this picture?

Doesn't match
the history that I'm getting.

Dr. Morris, hey--

I mean,
it wouldn't be

thefirst time something
like this has happened.

What are you suggesting?

That whoever is telling
you this story is lying.

The thing is, Dr. Morris..

...I'm the one
telling you the story.

You don't understand,
our patient is herniating--

(Archie)
'50 of Mannitol.'

Yes. As soon as
you can. Thank you.

- 'Can't hurt.'
- Neurosurge is in the OR.

Yeah, what else is new?

- In another hospital.
- What?

This guy just gave
me an earful about

the national shortage
of neurosurgeons.

Apparently, they've
started double-covering

the Chicago hospitals.

Is that even legal?

Systolic's 214.
Pulse down to 44.

Okay, did he say
how long he'd be?

- A couple of hours, at least.
- You're kidding.

(Sam)
'He's gonna die if
we wait that long.'

(Archie)
'I know that!

'We don't have a surgeon.'

Alright, so? Let's do it.

No, no, no.
We can't. We don't..

...we don't have the training
or the authority to do--

Who cares?
What are you gonna do?

Stand here and let the guy

herniate and die?

[beeping]

Sterile eights, a Bovie,
and a ventriculostomy tray.

Whoa, whoa, are we gonna do
a ventriculostomy in here?

- It's his only chance.
- I'll go get the twist drill.

Ejection fraction only 18%.

L-VAD's definitely
malfunctioning.

What does that mean?

The device that's supposed
to help pump the blood--

- Stealing your twist drill.
- 'Sats only 84.'

- Okay, another 80 of Lasix.
- Why won't it work?

Don't you think the girl
should wait outside?

- She can handle this.
- Fix it.

- Can you fix it?
- Lucy, come here.

Look at me.

I'm okay.

You don't have to worry.

- Systolic 49.
- Mom.

Joanie, we gonna
need to intubate.

- Guys, I found this in the ICU.
- What is it?

In the event of
an electrical failure

'the L-VAD is designed
to use a hand pump.'

How do you know
it's an electrical failure?

I don't.

But it's worth a shot.

Give it a minute.

- Good carotid.
- 'Pulse ox is coming up.'

Dawn, mix a Milrinone infusion.
I think this might hold us.

- Till we get to the OR.
- You got it.

How long are you going to have
to keep squeezing that thing?

Until she gets her new heart.

Which is gonna
be any minute, Lucy.

So let's get your mom upstairs.

BP's 190 over 118.

- 'And..'
- What are you doing?

(Archie)
'I'm through to
the white matter.'

Oh, nothing, just drilling

into the brain.

- Good luck with that.
- 'Catheter.'

(Tracy)
'Bradying down to the 30s.'

Aim it toward the
medial canthus of the--

Opposite eye, I know.

Everybody start praying.

How do you know you're not
gonna hit a blood vessel?

- I don't.
- 'Or a major structure?'

Like the pituitary?

I'm nowhere near the pituitary.

I don't think.

Does a brain feel more
like Jell-O or like butter?

- Tracy, shut up.
- I'm sorry.

I mean, I'm just nervous.

- Oh, my God.
- 'Believe I am in.'

Is that CSF?

Yep, decompressed
the ventricles.

Keep the ICP around 15.

Heart's up to 58 and climbing.

Recheck the blood pressure.

Tell ICU to make room.

Assertive...I like it.

Nice job, Archie.

You alright, man?

Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

Hey, Jerry, is Frank
coming in today?

Uh, only if I call in sick.

No, he's not on
till next week.

Some family thing in Cleveland.

Uh-oh. Love is in the air.

Did somebody actually
drink that?

Oh, that chocolate soda?

- Pretty skunky.
- 'No.'

The bogus fungus water.

What?

Are you sure you're okay?

Yeah, all good.

I'll wait for Dr. Banfield
in the lounge.

Mm-hmm.

John.

Can I just tell you,
you look great in those jeans?

Thanks.

I know, it feels like
the end of the world today.

But you will be falling
for someone else tomorrow.

Wow.

Where did you learn that?
Parenting 101?

[door creaking]

Sorry. I can wait
someplace else.

No, no, no.
Actually, you saved me.

I'm gonna go get something
from the Jumbo Mart.

Alex.

[sighs]

Well, there's another
thing that's different.

That kid got like a foot taller.

I know and he's
under the influence

of a bunch of fun hormones.

Well, don't let him drink
whatever Jerry's drinking.

Forget it.

[tapping]

So, Sam..

...what did you hear
from Abby and Luka?

She e-mailed me.

Sounds like it's,
uh, going great.

Great for them.

[chuckling]

Sam, can you check the status
of the transport team?

I wanna know
the minute they get here.

Yep, I'll call the coordinator.

- Thank you.
- It is good to see you.

It's good to see you.

So, you're a popular guy.

Worked here a long time.

Been away a long time.

But I am gonna be in Chicago
sort of indefinitely and

I was kind of hoping
to keep my skills up

and maybe help you out a little.

- Help us out?
- Pick up a few shifts.

You don't have to pay me.

I work for food.

- You were an attending here?
- Yeah.

'And what have you been
doing since you left?'

Working in Africa. Darfur
mostly, at an IDP camp there.

I spent some time
in Indonesia after the tsunami.

Really?

So, now you're
ready to come back

to the real world?

Uh, that felt pretty
real to me out there.

But yeah, you could say that.

Having done the same thing,
I know there's

a lot of re-learning required

and if you're not
fully invested--

I don't know how long
I'm gonna be in Chicago.

I don't know how
many shifts I can pick up.

But I do know procedures,
and I do know the patients

that come through those doors,
and I know quite a bit

of your personnel.

And I know not to use
the snack machine on 3

and I know how
to get to the clinic

without ever
going outside in winter.

And I know that the bottom
right-hand drawer

of the admin desk sticks
unless you brace it

with the bottom of your foot.

I wasted a lot of money
in that snack machine.

Not anymore.

So, tell me, when did
you first work here?

I was a med student
in the ER in 1994.

- You knew Mark Greene, then.
- Yeah.

I knew Mark Greene. Yep.

Learned a lot from him.

When can you start?

- Is he gonna be alright?
- No.

But what you guys
did down there, I thought--

Well, we probably saved his life

but there's no way to know
if he'll ever wake up

be able to talk
or understand anything.

You know. I can tell, you know.

- Know what?
- Don't do that.

I can tell when something
is bothering you.

It was like I froze.

I didn't know what to do.

When? What happened?

They took this guy
into interrogation.

I stayed at the desk
filling out some forms.

After a while, I go back there
and there's three of them

tuning him up pretty good.

Three cops?

I see them through
the window, so what do I do?

Go in there, tell them
to give it a break?

Get somebody else involved? No.

I walk away, come back
ten minutes later.

By then, he's moaning
on the ground, crying for help.

Eventually,
they let me call 911.

Did you tell Detective Mallory?

I didn't have to because
he was in there with them.

Okay, you can't just bury this.

What am I supposed to do?
I am the new guy.

- I follow orders.
- Claudia..

I wouldn't even be there
if he hadn't backed me up.

- You can't just let this go.
- You don't get it, Archie.

- No, I think I do.
- These things happen sometimes.

I just gotta know
how to deal with it.

You mean ignore it.

There's a code on the job.

You don't turn
on one of your own.

That's something
you never come back from.

We walk in and there
are about 20 surgeons

in the room, all picking up
organs for other recipients.

Dr. Robbins steps up,
takes a scalpel--

- 'Dr. Robbins?'
- The transplant attending.

She whips out the heart
like it's no big deal

holds it up,
inspects it for a minute

and then says to the room,
"Looks good. Thanks."

30 seconds later,
we're back up in the air

like a band of superheroes.

Well, you kind of are.

I don't know if I could do

transplant surgeries full-time

but there's this kind
of high, a rush.

Robbins wants your butt in here.

Okay, coming.
You off shift now?

Yeah, uh, but I'll wait

with Lucy until you're done.

(Robbins)
'Adson with teeth.'

Dr. Rasgotra, you're
missing all the fun.

- Yeah, I'm sorry--
- SVC, IVC are done.

- Saved the aorta for you.
- Wow, are you sure?

'My eight-year-old
could do it.'

Most important thing is to cut

the great vessels as close
to the heart as you can.

'That way, we have
tissue to work with'

when we're sewing
in the new one.

Okay. Scissors.

- Ready?
- Less talk, more action.

Okay, uh..

...the aorta is...divided.

- Take it out.
- The heart?

No, the kidney.

Yes, doctor, the big dead organ

'you just disconnected
from circulation.'

It's Bloomington.
They wanna talk to a doctor.

Tell them it's going fine.

Pick it up with
the clamp and pull.

Dr. Robbins, they need
to speak with you.

Voila.

They say we need
to stop the transplant.

There's been a mistake.

(Cate)
'Go ahead and discharge'

'but make sure you do
phone follow-up.'

'Alright, gotta go.'

Thanks.

- 'Lucy.'
- Are you done?

No.

Is the new heart in yet?

What's going on?

I, um..

Do you know what
a blood type is?

Sort of.

Your mom is a type O

'which means she can only
get a heart from another O.'

There was a mistake at
the Bloomington Hospital.

'The donor's blood type
was mislabeled.'

'She's an A.'

If we had put that
heart in your mom

she would have died.

Fortunately, they found out
before...it was too late.

Your mom will get
a new heart, Lucy.

So, what now, we, uh..

...we re-implant the L-VAD,
and then we wait?

(Neela)
'Well, the thing is..'

The thing is we didn't
learn of the mistake

until we had already
taken out the old heart.

'Your mom is on a
cardiac bypass machine.'

She needs to stay on it
until we find her a new heart.

She can't talk?

No, but she'll know
you're there.

[sniffles]

Any changes?

Well, his
intracranial pressure's

still spiking.
It's not a good sign.

As I'm sure you're both aware

I'm required by law
to report this.

Report what?

'Well, whenever
the history doesn't'

'match the physical injury'

we need to follow
certain protocols.

- 'You know the drill.'
- I don't think I do.

I've sent the scalp
lavage fluid to the lab

where pathologists
will look for substances.

Fibers that could perhaps
help fill in the blanks.

You know, standard procedure.

I see.

And of course, I'll need to
notify the state authorities.

Start an official investigation.

[sighs]

What do you think
you're doing, Doctor?

My job.

You see that game
last night?

The Bulls were really, uh..

...shooting from
outside the paint.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Me either, basketball banter.

Just trying to
approximate guy talk.

Well, thanks for trying.

Women. Can't live with 'em.
Can't shoot 'em.

Look, I'm no expert,
but I've learned one thing.

It's...get your heart stomped on

it's best to take
all that energy

and channel it
into something positive.

Hi, Lucy.

Your foster dad's
not here yet?

It's okay.

I want to say goodnight
to my mom before I go.

Well, she should
be settled upstairs soon.

[sighs]

I always knew
she wasn't my mom.

I found a picture of
another lady in a hospital bed

holding me when I was a baby.

So I figured it out.

You're a very smart
little girl.

It never bothered me.

Because she always
loved me so much

and made me feel so happy.

And I knew that that's
what a real mother did

'Even if she's not
your real mom.'

Mr. Lempel,
what are you doing?

If we hold the ceremony
in the next hour

we'll beat sunset.

You can't leave now.

- Why, am I dying?
- No, you're not dying.

Fantastic.

Stupendous.

All the more reason
to start celebrating.

(Gates)
'But your bronchoscopy showed'

a hypersensitivity pneumonitis.

It's an immune reaction
to fungal spores.

- Mushroom worker's lung.
- You've heard of it?

Well, of course.
I've heard of it.

Pleurotus cornucopiae
is a likely culprit.

I knew it was just
a matter of time.

Gentleman, lady.

Thank you very much.

This place is..

...nowhere near as bad
as its reputation.

Wait, you need
to stay and be treated.

- Nah.
- What do you mean, "nah"?

Well, I don't know why you
need me to tell you this

but the only definitive
treatment for

Mushroom Worker's Lung
is to stay away from mushrooms.

That, my friends,
is not an option.

You'd rather have lung disease
than stay away from mushrooms?

If mushrooms be
the food of love...play on.

* If we shadows
have offended *

* Say but this
that all is mended **

- What was that?
- Sorry?

Why'd you pull
that stunt up there?

Put the squeeze
on him like that?

To see that
the right thing happens.

I was gonna tell him myself,
handle it my own way.

Well, it didn't
seem like that.

What? Now you wanna judge me?

- I'm trying to help.
- Well, stop!

Last thing I need is them
knowing I opened up my mouth.

Just the two I was looking for.

Dr. Morris, it turns out

there was an incident
that some of the guys

didn't feel they wanted
to be upfront about.

It's being dealt with now.

- 'Dealt with?'
- 'Mm-hmm.'

'The officers involved
will be disciplined'

'maybe even prosecuted. We can't
abide that kind of infraction.'

Can we, Detective Diaz?

No, sir.

'I appreciate your help.'

We'll make sure to get
you a report so that

your records can accurately
reflect the cause of injury.

Okay. Thank you.

[buzzing]

So, you got any shifts
you want me to work?

Banfield said yes?

Took a little persuading.

Ah, she's no pushover.

- I'll be around.
- That's great, man.

You seem good.

(Tracy)
'Thanks for showing me
how to tube the effusion.'

Oh, no problem,
check a film in an hour

and call me if
the fluid re-accumulates.

Grasshopper, the student
has become the teacher.

I heard you were lurking about.

- How have you been?
- Oh, I've had better days.

I hear the Carter Center's
finally opening.

Yes, had a few setbacks

but official
opening in a few weeks.

Congratulations.
You and Kim must be so proud.

Yeah. So, I'll be around.

I'll buy you a cup of coffee

and tell you
tales of Africa.

I look forward
to hearing them.

From Dr. Brenner. John!

John!

Call me.

[Earlimart singing
"Town Where You Belong"]

* No you don't remember *

* The town where you were born *

* 'Cause they never
no no never *

* Opened up the doors *

* In a dream that
you were dreaming *

* They'll open them for sure *

* It's the town
you don't remember *

* The town where you were born *

* Well you wiped out
all your footsteps *

* And you wiped out
all your foes *

* For the comfort
and the safety *

* That comes when
you're alone *

*It's the town
you don't remember *

* The town where you were born *

* It's the town
that you are leaving *

* The town where you belong *

* Heaven knows the reason *

* Heaven knows for sure **

Uh, what the hell
are you doing?

It's freezing out here.

Buono sera, mio dolce cretina.

No, uh.. I'm sorry.

I think I just called
you a sweet idiot.

Simon, what are
we doing here?

This is the closest that
we've gotta a canal for now.

But I am determined..

...so determined,
to do better.

- What's this?
- Well, that's an IOU.

We take a week off in April

and spring, as you know

is...the perfect time
to visit Venice.

You wanna go to Venice?

Yeah. With you.

[sniffling]

Grappa?

Okay.

Alright, I think this qualifies
as a romantic gesture.

This? No, this is nothing.

This is just the beginning.
