All language subtitles for The Resident_S04E08_First Days, Last Day.en.closedcaptions

[man] Previously on The Resident…

Things don't have to end between us.

-When's your flight home?
-Tomorrow morning.

-Will I ever operate again?
-[Kit] It will take months

of PT before you can even think
about operating again.

Rose, I can't imagine the pain

-you've endured.
-[Rose] I'm a dancer.

I was a dancer.

Now I teach dance to high-risk kids.

Those girls, they're my life.

Let's stick to the only thing
that matters.

-How is Nic?
-Attack nearly killed her and the baby.

Mentally, each day's a little worse.

She has PTSD.

-Can't even make it through the night.
-[Conrad] Nightmares.

-I know.
-They're getting worse.

Hi. Leela Devi. New surgical intern.

Jessica Moore. Old surgical nurse.

[chuckles]

You know the interns
usually pre-round at 5:00

and not 3:45, right?

When you get to know me,

you'll see I tend to overprepare.

So, what's your story?

The hospital where I matched shut down.

Financial losses from COVID.

It's been happening
all over the country. I'm sorry.

-But welcome to Chastain.
-Thanks.

Hey, um, when you have a minute,

I would love to learn
everything about your patients.

Not just the medicine.

Personal stuff, too.

-Seriously?
-Yeah.

Nurses always know more
than anyone, right?

[chuckles]

You're gonna take notes?

-I write everything down.
-Wow.

Okay. Well, um,

let's start over here.

So, we have Mr. Watts.
And he is the sweetest thing,

but if you talk about his sailboat,

you'll never leave the room.

This place hasn't been the same
without you.

-Welcome back to work.
-I'm glad to be here.

Schlumping around the house
was getting old.

That's called healing,

not schlumping.

I'm excited to be back.

I'm just sad that
my first day's Billie's last.

Where are you headed?

Back home to Charleston to figure out

-the rest of my life.
-[man shouts]

[man] Get your hands off of me!

31-year-old jail inmate
involved in a riot.

took a heavy beating
and has extensive injuries

-to his chest and abdomen.
-[groans]

[man] Get the hell off of me!
Get your hands off!

-We're trying to help you, sir.
-Go to hell, all of you!

-[Devon] Let's go to 11.
-[man grunting]

One, two, three.

[all grunt]

Are you okay?

[man grunting]

That's the man who stabbed me.

[theme music playing]

[grunting]

I'll get someone to cover for me,
and then I'll take you home.

-I'll stay another day to be with her.
-That's not necessary.

-I'll be with her.
-Okay, you guys are overreacting.

No, we're not. This is a trigger.
You don't need this.

I won't be anywhere near him.
I don't even work this floor.

Now I'm worried about you.

Do I want to kill him with my bare hands?
Maybe.

Will I? No.

-Maybe you should go home.
-And leave you here alone?

[Nic] Why would we let this guy
scare us off?

He's under armed guard.
He's handcuffed to the bed.

There's no reason anyone has to leave.

If Nic wants to stay,
I'll stay with her. Conrad,

you can keep seeing patients.

[Nic] I'm gonna head upstairs.

Promise you'll keep your distance,
I promise I'll keep mine.

I won't let her out of my sight.

You take care of you.

Is that the guy?

Yeah.

-[man grunting]
-Not your problem.

Listen, we're gonna do
everything we need to do

and then send him back to jail
where he belongs.

Now, you steer clear.

-I need some help here!
-Come on, let's go.

Open left tib-fib fracture after fall.

Patient complaining of abdominal pain.

-Vitals stable.
-Yeah, we just made our vows.

We were heading down
a rickety staircase when Megan…

I was pushed down the stairs by a ghost!

Hotel's super haunted.

All right, here we go. One, two and three.

Hundley, let's give her two of morphine.

-[Megan whimpering]
-[Irving] Mild tenderness.

No rebound or guarding.

-We'll have to do an ultrasound.
-Stabilize the fracture here.

And then after that, you will need

surgery to put the bones back
where they belong.

48-year-old, status
post three-vessel CABG postop

day one. Vitals stable.

Labs with a slight creatinine
bump to 1.2. No chest pain.

-Plans for the day?
-Send off urine electrolytes.

Repeat the creatinine in the p.m.

Make sure he gets out of bed.

And his daughter's visiting.

I'll prepare to see her dad
in the hospital.

[timer beeps]

Strong work for an intern. Next.

Quicker this time.

You know how surgeons feel about rounds.
Overnight events?

None. Chest tube drainage was only

20cc's, but she's very anxious.

-Plans?
-Clamp the chest tube,

repeat an X-ray.
Hopefully we can pull it later in the day.

And then maybe she can visit the garden.

This is your first morning at Chastain.

How'd you learn so much
about these patients so quickly?

I asked a really smart nurse.

Good job.

[monitor beeping steadily]

Does that happen often?

More and more lately.

I have Huntington's disease.

My father died of it.

It's probably the real reason
I fell down those stairs.

My balance is getting worse and worse.

We got married as soon as we realized
Megan inherited the gene.

I had a fifty-fifty chance,

and I lost that coin toss.

Symptoms started
soon after we fell in love,

and Megan knew what it was right away.

Huntington's is brutal.
I know how bad this is gonna be.

I spent my childhood
watching my father waste away.

All the nerve cells dying
until there was nothing left of him.

[Irving] This is Dr. Voss and Dr. Bell.

-You're in great hands, okay?
-Thank you.

-See you after surgery.
-[Megan] Okay.

Looks like you broke a few bones here.

I'll be taking you to the OR.

-[Megan whimpers softly]
-So, you have some fluid in your abdomen

that shouldn't be there.

We'll get a CT

to confirm, but we'll likely
repair that in the OR, as well.

Okay.

Josko.

We-- We're gonna miss our honeymoon.
I'm so sorry.

It's all good. No worries. Don't worry.

Such a hard booking to get, too.

We were gonna stay
at the Stanley Hotel in Colorado.

The inspiration for The Shining?

I wouldn't set foot in that place

-for all the Bitcoin in Iceland.
-[all laugh]

Our love of horror films
is what brought us together.

["Skippin' on Sunshine" playing]

Hey, hey. Here we go.

-We're having fun now.
-[children chattering]

[Panda] Ooh, show me your moves!

♪ We're trippin' on light ♪

♪ And we're skippin' on sunshine ♪

♪ Sunshine, sunshine… ♪

Sir, are you all right?

I'm fine.

♪ And we're skippin' on sunshine… ♪

Dr. Barrett Cain

here for physical therapy

[panda] That's what I'm talking about.

Ooh, here we go.

Wear this at all times.

Welcome to Chastain. Oh!

-Wheelchair, please!
-No.

I don't need a wheelchair.

It's hospital policy, sir,
given your condition.

-Let me help you.
-[Panda] Hey, hey.

How about we turn that frown

upside down?

♪ Sunshine, sunshine ♪

-♪ 'Cause we're trippin' on light ♪
-See you later!

♪ And we're skippin' on sunshine. ♪

[sighs] Honestly, Billie, you can go.

I'm fine. You're gonna hit rush hour.

-A little traffic doesn't scare me.
-Even on I-20?

Wow, you have been gone a while.

-I'm brave.
-[chuckles]

Hey, you feel like a coffee?

Oh, I'd love one. Cream and two sugars?

I was thinking both of us
would hit the café.

Well, I'm just about to start my rounds.

-Morning.
-Hello.

Go. I'm fine.

[sighs, chuckles]

-What?
-I just heard from my lawyer.

She says immigration
is demanding more proof

of my medical training in Nigeria.

-Why?
-I don't know. She said it's unusual.

Can't you just give them what they want?

I don't know if I can get the paperwork

out of Nigeria quick enough
to make the deadline.

And if I don't, no visa. I'll be deported.

And once someone is deported,
it's nearly impossible to get back in.

Why is this happening?

Is someone trying to sabotage my career?

Where's Nic?

She left the floor right after you did.

[man over P.A. system]
Orderly to the cath lab.

Orderly to the cath lab.

Ow! Imbecile!

-Get me a real nurse!
-[Lisa] Hold still.

-I'll try again.
-Like hell you will!

[grunts]

-Code Grey!
-[Jay yelling]

[Jay grunting]

Get off me.

-[Billie] Nic.
-What are you doing?

-Yeah?
-Get out of here. Okay? I got this.

-[Jay grunting]
-Here.

-Hey, are you a…
-Doctor? Yeah.

Hey. No.

Are you kidding?

You don't have privileges here.
That is illegal.

Pravesh, I know that every broken rule

tears at your psyche,
but she was struggling,

-and this guy needed to go to sleep.
-All right.

I got it from here.
Please just go check on Nic.

Pressure's 76/48.

What's going on?

Look at his neck.

We need an ultrasound.

Muffled heart sounds. It's Beck's triad.

Pericardial effusion,
there's fluid around his heart.

Must have been too small to see
in the scan when he first came in.

Page Dr. Austin.
We need to drain the fluid now.

[Billie] What the hell
were you doing in there?

I answered a code. It's my job.

That's the best you've got?

You gave me and Conrad your word.

-I thought you had eyes on her.
-I was literally gone five minutes.

My God, do you guys hear yourselves?

I went to see him. That was up to me.

And you know what, Lisa was in trouble,

-So I called for help. It's over.
-Is it?

-Yeah, it is.
-Where you going?

I have a patient.

He's got a cardiac issue.

They'll fix it and send him back to jail.

All's well that ends well…

if this was a one-shot deal.

Pressure's dropping.

-He's in tamponade.
-Devi, grab the ultrasound.

[monitor beeping rapidly]

Move it.
This guy could code while we wait on you.

-You want me to take over?
-No, give her a shot.

[Austin] Move the probe up a bit.

Move it up.

What are you doing?
Put it back where it was

and rotate it cranially, now.

Incorrect! Pravesh, take over.

Devi, get out of my sight. Move it!

All right, that's a good visual,
Pravesh, thank you.

Entering the pericardial sac.

And… we're in.

Draining the effusion now.

All right?

[beeping slows]

[Austin] All right,
he's stabilized for now.

Let's book an OR,
find the source and repair it.

Why are you still here?

Go.

You'd think a mid-year
surgical intern would know

-how to do an ultrasound.
-She certainly fooled me

during the rounds this morning.

-I thought she was a potential star.
-[cell phone rings]

Oh, let me know if you need anything,
I gotta take this.

Yeah, go ahead, man.

Nadine, what a nice surprise.

Hey, Devon. Guess what.

I'm in Atlanta
for my yearly moyamoya checkup.

I'd love to stop by and say hi.

Yeah, that'd be great.
I'd love to see you.

I get off around 7:00.

Can't wait.

And I, uh, have a surprise for you.

What kind of surprise?

It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you.

I'll see you later.

[Kit] This poor woman.

I wouldn't wish Huntington's
on my worst enemy.

[Bell] Well, hopefully
we can give her back

whatever quality time she has left.

I hear Cain is back at Chastain
for the first time today.

Yes, for PT. I'm gonna
check on him after this. Rongeur.

You know, I know you don't need my advice…

No, I don't.

I think you should cut him loose.
He's more trouble than he's worth.

You're probably right.

But we've lost so many doctors
since we went public.

We're struggling.

I had hopes for Cain's return.
Without him,

I may have to shutter
the neurosurgery department.

You said you were gonna find replacements.

Believe me, I've tried.

Now, complete the word

by placing the correct block on top.

-This is ridiculous.
-Think of them

as building blocks to your recovery.

Look… [sighs]
The more you do it, the easier it'll get.

I'm not doing it again. Let's move on.

In order to move on,
we need to complete each task.

So… begin again.

Do I look like a toddler?

Don't talk to me like one.

Don't act like one.

Tammy's just doing her job.
Have some respect.

Whoever you are, when I want your advice
I'll ask you for it.

Dr. Cain.

-Is there a problem?
-He's a doctor?

Dr. Cain is one of the top
neurosurgeons in the country.

Well, here's hoping my disease
never creeps upstairs.

I don't like her attitude.

That's Rose Williams,

-one of my favorite patients.
-Mine, too.

Never complains. I love her

to the moon and back.

She obviously has no idea
what I'm going through.

You've had some bad luck,

but Rose has sickle cell disease.

She's young and should
have her whole life ahead of her.

Instead, she has a devastating diagnosis.

How's that new hip settling in?

[laughs] It's feeling much better.

I'll be dancing again in no time,

and I can't wait.

Good. Take your time.

There's no rush.

My office when you're done, Barrett.

We need to talk more about what happened.

You promised both Conrad and me

you'd stay away from Jay Pickering,
and you didn't.

Why did you do it, Nic?

I'm still having nightmares.

I guess I'm still scared, in a sense.

Maybe it helped to see him…

broken and weak.

I just need to stop reliving it
over and over again.

I mean, every time I close my eyes…

Time will help all of that.

You remember when your mom died?

You and Jessie were devastated,
and you both began acting out.

Yeah.

And for several years,
you and I drifted apart.

Probably when we needed
each other the most.

I was terribly lonely.

There was this guy, a neighbor.

Started giving me attention.
You know, having me over

for one excuse or another.

He made me feel special.

Then one day he touched me
where he shouldn't.

And he raped me.

How old were you?

-Thirteen.
-[exhales sharply]

Why didn't you tell me?

I didn't tell anyone.

I was ashamed.

It was difficult and painful.

I'm so sorry, Billie.

It took time, but eventually,
I broke his hold over me.

And that's what you have to do.

Move on.

Because if you don't,
you'll continue to be a victim,

and you've given him control.

The fracture has been repaired.
The surgery went well.

I'll be in in a sec.

-Hey.
-Hi.

-Those newlyweds gave me an idea.
-Mm-hmm?

They got married at a spooky hotel
and are honeymooning

-at the Stanley Hotel.
-[chuckles]

Redrum.

-Redrum.
-Mm.

I love scary movies.

I say we make our wedding our wedding.

-Mm-hmm.
-Personal.

-Special. Just for us.
-What'd you have in mind?

When did we have the best time ever?

-Snorkeling in the Keys.
-Mm-hmm.

-But we can't leave Atlanta.
-Yes, but…

-I have an idea.
-Someone help!

[Josko] What is happening?

[Megan retching, gasping]

All right, call the blood bank
for two units, stat,

and page Conrad. She's having a GI bleed.

-What happened?
-She said she felt sick

-and then blood was just everywhere.
-Help me sit her up.

Pretty decent episode of hematemesis,

Vitals stable.

All right, let's give her
a bolus of omeprazole, 80 mil.

And call Bell. We need him here.

-This can't be from the fall.
-I don't think so.

Something else is causing her GI bleed.

[coughing]

Megan, stay with us. Stay with me.
Stay with me!

[monitor alarm beeps]

Oh, my God. Help her! Help her!

-Need to intubate now!
-Hey, Josko, you need to wait outside!

-You need to wait outside.
-[Josko] Sorry.

Can you prep the ET tube?

[Conrad] Where's the pipe? Ah…

I can't see a damn thing.

All right, I see the cords. Tube.

[machine beeping]

She's gonna need an endoscopy to locate
the source of the bleeding.

Yeah, and she needs that now.

-How's the new intern been doing?
-Mixed bag.

Sometimes total confidence,
others a flailing mess.

Just like every intern.
Including you, Pravesh.

I think there's more to it than that.

If you'd rather be an artist,
by all means go do it.

At least no one dies
when you color outside the lines.

Right now, you really should be
focusing on your patients.

Especially after today's performance.

So kind of you to give me that advice
on my first day at Chastain, Dr. Pravesh.

Thanks so much.

Do you want to see what I was drawing?

You don't know me and I don't know you,

but you need to understand this.

There is nothing that matters to me more

than learning to be
the best doctor that I can be.

And as far as my performance goes,

when you were an intern,
did you perform flawlessly?

It's a learning process,

and I was rather hoping
you'd help me learn,

not tear me down.

[Conrad] Hold on.

-Bulging vein at six o'clock
-[Bell] Yeah, a variceal bleed.

I need to band it.

[Conrad] I'll get her started on a drip.

Okay, I have the culprit.

Twisting the dial…

And the band is on.

Cutting off circulation
to the abnormal veins and…

…stopping the bleed.

So Megan was bleeding due to varices.

She likely has cirrhosis.

Yeah, it explains why her coags are off.

Liver disease.

-Drugs, alcohol…
-No.

When we took her history,

she said she only drinks tea and seltzer.

I'll send off studies.

Hepatitis panel, autoimmune serologies.

They have to tell us something.

Impressive.

I'm motivated.

I want my life back.

Me, too.

Sickle cell is, um, it's brutal.

Earlier today, I was, uh…

-I was a little…
-Oh.

I'll fight it till my last breath.

I want to dance again. It gives me a goal.

I can understand that.

I'm a surgeon

and I'm nothing without my hands.

How did you hurt yourself?

I was hit by a car.

Oh. Damn. I'm sorry.

Well…

you'll cut again, I'll dance again.

We're both fighters, right?

I think you have a far harder road.

But good luck with that.

No, no wheelchair.

I'll be walking out of here
on my own two feet.

[clears throat]

In my career, I've found that

patients need to be honest with themselves

about the prognosis.

And only then can they truly
plan for what the future holds.

Okay. It's a good point.

Based on what I saw this morning,
you will never likely operate again,

but you're honest with yourself
about that.

Right? [laughs softly]

Fine motor skills.

You couldn't even put one block
on top of another, so…

Good luck with that.

-Hey, Megan.
-Hey.

You have cirrhosis of the liver

and we need to find out why.

You already said you're not a drinker.

-Just tea and seltzer. It's all I do.
-Okay.

Um, have you ever had a hep B
or hep C infection?

No, not that I know of.

When you first thought
you had Huntington's, what were the signs?

I started to be clumsy all of the time

and then came the fatigue

and the memory loss,
difficulty swallowing.

I remember very similar symptoms
when they started with my dad.

[groans]

And this is a new one

that happens more and more all the time.

Josko said it looks like

-I'm trying to fly away. [laughs]
-Yeah.

-Put your arms up like this for me?
-Yeah, yeah.

-Yeah, just a little higher.
-Yeah.

There we go.

[chuckles faintly]

Who diagnosed your Huntington's, Megan?

Uh, I did.

Was it ever confirmed by a doctor?

No, but I know what I have.

There's not really a treatment, so, like…

-Hey, what's going on?
-Hey, hey, hey.

-Hey.
-Oh, it's okay. It's okay.

Hey, Josko, I…

need to run some more tests.
I'll be right back.

Okay. Hi.

Hey, baby. Yeah?

[Austin] All right.
You see the tear in the right atrium?

That's why he wouldn't stop bleeding.

[Mina] Hmm.

Hey.

Do you feel any ambiguity
as we try to save the life

of the man who nearly killed Nic?

[Mina] Oddly, I don't.

Once they're in our OR,
I focus on the task at hand.

Hmm.

2-0 Prolene and pledgets.

Would you like me to scrub in here?

I do not have time to teach you
over this particular heart.

She can watch over my shoulder.

[Austin] Suit yourself.

Dr. Okafor, you're needed in the lobby.

Tell them I'm in surgery.

[Jessica] They said that it's urgent.

Somebody from the medical board.

[Austin] Go.

I can handle this.

So, it looks like today is your lucky day.

Go scrub in.

Hey.

Are you all right?

I'm actually doing a bit better.

Yeah.

How are you?

Honestly, I'm not great.

I don't know what to do with this anger.

I want to kill the guy
for what he did to you.

But, you know, we have each other.

We have our baby.

And this man who hurt us

is going to spend
the rest of his life in prison.

So…

[exhales]

How did you get to this place?

I had, um, an interesting,

difficult conversation
with Billie earlier.

But we can talk about that later.

[indistinct chattering]

-Dr. Okafor.
-Yes.

Shamus O'Reilly, Georgia Medical Board.

I'm here to inform you
that an investigation

is underway that could
put your medical license in jeopardy.

I have a few questions to ask you,
if you don't mind.

Were you ever romantically involved with
a Micah Stevens?

I believe he was a patient of yours.

I will take that as a yes.

And are you currently in a relationship

with your attending, AJ Austin?

So… yes again.

Do you or did you ever
run a medical clinic

out of your home?

I need to speak to my lawyer
before this goes any further.

That is your right.

I will set the time
for an interview under oath.

Here's the file that we built
on you, so you can prepare.

Perhaps ask more pointed questions

as they're completing the survey.

Did their doctor explain
their treatment plan?

Are they clear on their
discharge instructions?

But I'm hoping for something
more substantial.

Okay. Thanks, Caitlin.

-You wanted to see me?
-Yes.

You look tired. Please, sit down.

No, I'm not tired at all.

But if you insist…

Based on what I saw this morning, Barrett,

it's clear your road to recovery

-is going to be long and hard.
-Oh, no, that's not true.

I'll be right back in the OR in no time.

Not in one of my ORs.

I think it's only fair to warn you
that I'm going to start

interviewing for someone to replace you.

We need a top neurosurgeon.

Without one,
the whole department will fail

and that's an outcome

-I can't accept.
-You can count on me.

Just give me about a month

to prove that I can get back fast.

I'm very sorry, Barrett, but I can't.

It's not just your uncertain
physical recovery

that's troubling me, it's your attitude.

The way you acted this morning
is not something I want

or expect from a doctor
at the new Chastain.

That's fair.

I was out of line then.

Just give me another chance.

I'm willing to watch and see

how you do, personally and physically.

I won't write you off yet,

but I have to be honest.

At this moment,

I see no place for you at Chastain.

[Leela] What can I do here?

Nothing. I will let you know.

He's losing pressure.

If we can't control the bleed,
we need to put him on pump.

[suction hissing]

All right.
There was a tear in the right atrium.

It was repaired, but now there's another.

And I can't slow down
to talk you through every move.

Time is of the essence.

I actually work better in silence.

Yeah, we'll see about that. Hand me a cl…

…clamp.

Retractors.

Ah, there it is.

It's right there.

2-0 Prolene.

All right. There we go.

There it is.

That should hold.

That's a pretty impressive OR debut
for our surgical intern, no?

There may be hope for you yet.

-Do you mind if I…
-Yes.

You may close.

Come on, the suspense is killing us.

You have Kayser-Fleischer rings.

And that, that is good news?

-Yeah. Yeah, it is good news.
-Yeah?

It's a diagnostic of Wilson's disease.

It's a rare, inherited disorder
that causes copper

to accumulate in your liver,
brain and other vital organs.

It's often missed or misdiagnosed

-as something else.
-Like Huntington's?

Yes.

That motion you made with your arm, Megan,

is pretty specific to Wilson's.

I need to run some more tests to confirm,

but I'm feeling really confident
that Wilson's disease

is causing all of your symptoms,

and you do not have Huntington's.

But how bad is Wilson's disease?

It's serious, but it's treatable.

Wait, so…

my death sentence has been commuted?

It looks that way.

We'll give you medications to help
rid your body of the excess copper.

And we'll monitor your liver function,

but…

all of your neurological symptoms

that you've been experiencing…

…they should all vastly improve.

[laughs]

[Josko gasping]

Oh, God, we got married so fast
'cause I had an expiration date.

-Are you sure you still want…
-Do you think that I want to be a widower?

I was looking forward to that?

We now have a whole lifetime together.

We definitely have to go to Salem.

And Transylvania.

Oh, and Paris has catacombs.

I've always wanted to see a catacomb.

-We're gonna see a catacomb.
-[both laugh]

[Nic] I'm glad you stayed today.

Me, too.

It can't have been easy being here.

I know how much you miss Chastain.

I know you wish your career
was back where it was.

I can't lie.

I wanted so much to be a neurosurgeon.

It's a terrible loss,
but I brought it on myself.

You ever think about trying
to get your residency back?

That would never happen.

Mm, I wouldn't be so sure.

Kit, this is Billie Sutton,

the neurosurgery resident
I was telling you about.

Billie, this is Kit Voss, our new CEO.

Can you spare a minute to talk?

[Nic laughs softly]

When I was a second-year surgery resident,

I told a twit of an attending
to shove a meniscal probe

up his… Well, you know.

And there were worse transgressions.

There's good and bad to your story.

That's not unusual.

And although the bad is very bad…

-I cost a man his life.
-You overestimated your skill.

You crossed a line
you should never have crossed

and your patient paid the ultimate price.

But you published some stellar papers
and your mentor reviews

-were second to none.
-Yeah. Most of them.

Stop arguing against yourself.

My neurosurgery department
is dying since we became

a public hospital.

You were one of the best.

And I believe in second chances.

I don't know what to say.

I'd like to reinstate
your residency on a trial basis.

A month, then we reassess.

Are you interested in joining our team?

Say yes, Billie.

Yes.

Good.

[laughs]

Hey.

Sorry I couldn't make it back.

It's all good.
Leela was surprisingly excellent.

What did the medical board want?

Uh, to inform me
that I'm under investigation.

Investigation for what?

The clinic I ran in my home,

for dating a patient, Micah,
and for dating you.

It's Cain. It has to be.

No one else would leak that information.

I can't confront him.

I have no proof, but I'm sure it's him.

He's out for revenge.

AJ, I could lose my medical license.

A-- And your chance for a visa.

I don't know what's worse,

being deported or not being a doctor.

Listen to me, Mina.

You are not going anywhere.

You hear me?

[siren wails in distance]

I know I was hard on you earlier.

It is my job to help you.

You didn't have all the information

that would have made
my mistakes make sense.

My entire life
I've wanted to be a surgeon,

despite knowing I have
one big obstacle to overcome.

You're dyslexic.

You've kept the secret fairly well.

I had a friend in med school
who was dyslexic

and he also drew patients' anatomy

to make sense of it.

Which is why I did well in the OR.

But when I have to do something new

without preparation, it's a challenge.

So I overprepare.

I arrive hours before anyone else,

I review CT reports
multiple times, writing down

key information to fully comprehend it.

And you have to work
twice as hard as everyone else.

I do poorly on written exams.

So I didn't get an interview
at most residencies.

In fact, the only reason
I'm here is my mentor convinced

Dr. Voss to give me a chance.

Look, I'm glad
that it is clear between us.

And I will keep your secret
if that's what you want.

But moving forward,

make me understand how I can help you.

Well, I don't want
to be treated differently.

I have to be as good
as any other resident.

Done.

[exhales]

[Devon] Hey. Are those from

-the patient appreciation booth?
-What can I say?

Once a resident always a resident.

I see free food, I cannot help myself.

-[laughs]
-My policy, too,

until free sushi ruined a long weekend.

[laughs]

Is that the princess?

Princess Nadine.

Yeah, yeah, she, uh, called earlier,

said she was back in town
and that she had a surprise.

Oh, Pravesh, this is…

Is that little prince your son?

Brother, I've got to admit,

you have put me
in a vendetta kind of mood.

A rare, special brand of pissed off,

and I find myself with some
inspired ways to make you pay

for what you're doing to Mina Okafor.

Excuse you.

Oh, no.

You don't have to run away
from me, Barrett.

I won't hurt you, baby.

Not yet.

See, I had an epiphany,

and the irony is way too sweet.

You're gonna walk away from me,
take the elevator

to the penthouse, where you will settle in

at rock bottom.

And I have no interest in punching down.

You ruining Mina's life and career

will not heal you, Barrett.

If anything, you will sink to a new low.

-She tried to destroy me.
-No.

She called you out
for all the right reasons.

And you're trying to destroy her
for all the wrong reasons.

And now I hear even Kit
thinks there's no seat

for you at our table.

But as far as I'm concerned,
that's not punishment enough.

Fix it, Barrett.

Now.

If you don't…

…I'm coming for you.

You hear me?

And you won't walk away from me

ever again.

♪ Sharp descent ♪

Yeah, it's Barrett.

I want you to ease up on Mina Okafor.

Drop the whole thing now, the hearing,

the challenge to the visa, all of it.

[Knoll] Sorry, Barrett.

That's out of our hands.

It's a moving train
that can't be stopped now.
