Jericho (2006) s01e16 Episode Script

Previously on Jericho: Were you planning on telling me about the baby? A bad marriage doesn't get better because you add a kid.
I didn't want you to stay with me because of the baby, Eric.
- Heather.
- Oh, my God, Ted.
- Jake, this is Ted Lewis.
- Hey, how you doing? We grew up together in New Bern.
This is Russell and Mike.
- Hey.
- Yeah, we met.
With a dozen full-sized windmills you could power the town.
I'll help turn the lights on for everyone back home.
- You're just gonna leave? - It won't be for very long.
I have something in my possession, and that puts you, me and the kids in danger here.
Sarah is not on our side.
She's not here to help us.
Hawkins is starting to put the pieces together.
- He needs to be eliminated.
- I know.
Why are you stalling on this one? - Can I be sure you won't follow? - I won't follow you.
Not if I take your son with me, you won't.
No.
No! Honey, you look tired.
Are you getting enough sleep? Almost seven hours.
- Where? - In my office.
Sleeping in your office doesn't count.
You're gonna give the baby a crick in its neck.
You're gonna make a terrific grandmother.
- I know.
- You're Dr.
Green? - Yes.
- Jessica Williams.
Nice to meet you.
Mr.
Ostrowski says he's having chest pains.
Doesn't want anybody to look at him but you.
Are you the doctor who came in with the refugees? Close.
Third year med student, University of Chicago.
And I prefer "visitor" to refugee.
I'm sorry.
Thanks for the help.
Don't thank me.
I'm just working here because I get to sleep in a bed instead of the church basement.
Where do I start? Pneumonia, malnutrition, hypothermia.
Just grab a chart and pick a patient.
- Mr.
Hawkins.
- Hey, Jim.
Hope I didn't wake the kids.
No, you're okay.
Yeah, mine are the same way.
Up at all hours.
Worse when we had TV.
Is there something I can do for you, Jimmy? Sorry.
Mayor Anderson wants me to keep track of the refugees.
You know, find out where they end up, what kind of work they're doing to help the town.
Sarah Mason, she's been staying with you, right? - Mr.
Hawkins? - Yeah.
It's freezing out here.
Is she around? - Oh, the generator's back on.
- Thank God.
Hey.
That's it.
We're on our last tank of diesel.
Power's out to everything but the medical center.
Our last tank? How long will we have power? Ten, maybe 1 2 hours.
So turn off anything you're not using.
What about the biodiesel? We burned through it, and we won't have any more for days.
We need to come up with another plan.
We're getting more and more people in here every Oh, God! - April! April, can you hear me? - Is she breathing? - April, wake up! - Oh, honey.
Get over here! It's colder than a witch's patootie.
You're using candles.
I saw you had some electric lights on when I was walking up.
I got a genny in the basement, but I just used the last of my gas.
What were you doing? I'm putting some stuff in storage, but I was just cleaning up.
Yeah, using the last of your fuel on housework, huh? Darcy's trained you well.
Yeah.
Listen, Jimmy, I was just about to turn in, so Right.
Sorry.
Well, like I said, Mayor Anderson's got me keeping tabs on the refugees.
You know, crime's up.
So, Sarah Mason, is she here? - Can I ask her some questions? - You know, Sarah left yesterday.
Something about family in New Orleans.
Wow, in this weather? Okay.
Well, I'm sorry to bother you.
Hey, don't worry about it.
You know, that's a nasty looking cut you got there.
Yeah.
It was a tree branch when I was cutting wood.
That must have been a real bleeder.
Hey, it's not too deep.
Well, you be careful.
It's dangerous out there.
Again, sorry to bother you.
I just I don't feel good.
I'm so tired all of a sudden.
I know.
I told you you need to get some rest.
This is your big chance.
I'm not gonna let anything happen to you, honey.
I'm trying to keep her calm, but my gut tells me the baby's having a problem.
And if I know it, she knows it.
- What are we gonna do? - Get Kenchy.
There's another doctor in town? The man can barely sit up in his barstool.
Look, what I really need is an ultrasound machine.
Without it there's no real way to know what's going on.
Well, maybe we have one that survived the EMP in the basement.
- I'll go look.
- Good.
You go get your father and tell him to find Eric.
He's the one who should be here.
It's the guys from New Bern.
They actually built the thing.
I can't believe it.
- Hey, Russell.
- Hey.
- Good to see you.
- Good to see you.
Johnston, you SOB.
How the hell did you lose an election? No, the question is how did you get to be in charge in New Bern? They get tired of you being the sheriff? No, I'm still the sheriff.
Just got a little more authority.
Well, this is our new mayor.
This is Gray Anderson.
- Mayor Anderson.
- Nice to meet you.
- Congratulations.
- Well, thank you.
Thank you.
So this is the windmill, huh? It's the power-generating wind turbine.
We get about 1500 watts an hour out of one of these.
- Jake? - Dad.
Hey, Jake.
- Have you seen Eric? - No.
Did you try Mary's? Yeah, I tried there.
I tried at Bailey's.
Does this thing work? Can we get power from it? - Probably sometime tomorrow.
- Let's get it up as fast as we can.
I think we're gonna need it at the medical center.
- You got it.
- There's something wrong with April.
- What is it? - Well, she passed out.
They think there's a problem with the baby.
- I'll pick you up at 5.
- I'll walk.
Look, Stanley thinks that you're using this whole volunteering thing as an excuse to see Sean Henthorn.
I'm following orders to keep an eye on you.
Personally, I don't give a damn who you date.
I've been volunteering here since I was 16.
It's not about Sean.
You volunteer for anything? Ever? Mr.
Fredrickson.
Come on, stop.
Gracie gave you beet seed in exchange for 3 percent of your farm crop.
That 3 percent is mine now.
The store was left to me.
I can't do that, Dale.
Things have gotten worse now.
I need it for my family, to feed the last of my livestock.
I'm sorry.
It's the law, Mr.
Fredrickson.
It's rightfully mine.
There are no more laws, son.
No.
I volunteered.
So, what do I do? Empty, clean, repeat.
Where the hell is Eric? Nobody knows.
Dad's getting Bill on it.
- Her blood pressure's dropping.
- Gail! - I'm feeling contractions.
- I think she's going into labor.
No, no, I can't.
The baby's only 16 weeks.
- I need Ritodrine to stop the labor.
- I already checked.
We don't have any more.
I'll try to find some nifedipine.
All right, now, what are you feeling? If I lose consciousness and you can't find any medicine, use alcohol.
What do you mean? What kind of alcohol? Anything coming out of the still.
Give me a 10-percent drip.
It'll stop the contractions.
Oh, God, she's bleeding.
Get Kenchy, now.
It's so cold my mouth is numb.
We need the logs or we're gonna freeze to death.
Yeah.
Isn't that what we're doing now? - All right.
Let's get in the car.
- Okay.
- There.
Here you go.
- The blanket.
Let's turn on the heat.
Can't, I'm sorry.
We won't have enough gas to get home.
You know, we could make our own heat.
Don't get any ideas.
I am not taking my clothes off.
You know how happy you make me? Still not taking my clothes off.
Come on.
What's her pressure? - You smell like a wino.
- Nice to meet you too.
- What is her pressure? - Eighty over 44 and dropping.
- Is she dilated? - Two centimeters.
Her contractions are six minutes apart.
I need an ultrasound.
I brought some old ones up from the basement.
- I'll check on them.
- Great.
Jake, come on.
- Do we have fresh plasma? - No.
- Okay.
I need you to find somebody - With O Negative blood.
Yes, and we need a fetal heart monitor.
Do we have that? No? Okay, I need you to put these on and monitor the baby's heart rate.
Put these in your ear.
- I'll show you how to listen - I'm deaf.
Okay.
Madam, Madam! I need you to put these in your ears.
- Monitor the baby's heart rate.
- I can't.
Yes, you can.
I will show you how.
Come on, let's go! Please.
Here we go, put these on.
Listen right here, okay? Now, the higher one, the fast one, you hear that? That's the baby's heart rate.
You count 15 seconds and then you multiply that by - Four.
Gives you beats per minute.
- Perfect.
Okay, now I will show you how to take blood pressure and pulse rate.
All right, let's get ready to lift it.
You want me to settle a contract dispute? But Mr.
Frederickson isn't giving Dale his share.
You're kidding me, right? I'm trying to get power restored.
And I got home robberies all over town.
Refugees are threatening to break into the food lockup.
Okay, we're gonna go on three.
One, two, three.
Here we go.
Okay.
A little higher.
- Okay, easy.
- Got it.
- Okay, good, good.
- Watch the rope.
Here we go.
Keep it going.
Almost there.
- You got any room on your side? - Yeah, yeah.
- Keep it taut, keep it taut.
- Good job, folks.
Okay.
- Hey, how's the baby? - I don't know.
How close is this? Couple hours at least.
Did you find Eric? No, Bill and the rangers are out looking for him.
Phil, can we buy some more of these things? Yeah, let's talk about it.
Mr.
Hawkins.
I'm back.
Mr.
Hawkins, you around? Just a second.
You weren't answering your front door, so I You doing some yard work? Need a hand? No.
No, thank you.
I was I was gonna turn some compost, get ready to plant food for the spring.
Good idea.
Margaret's planting carrots inside.
They're super-food, you know, like broccoli.
You need something, Jimmy? Well, Gray wants me to find out what kind of resources Sarah might have taken with her, you know? Fuel, food.
Did she drive out of town? She didn't drive.
Took a backpack.
Some food, a tent.
And just walked out into the cold, huh? Yeah.
- It's crazy.
- Yeah.
Maybe Darcy knows something more.
No, I don't think so.
Well, I just figured, you know, women talk.
Who knows what the hell they say, right? Is Darcy around? Can I speak with her? Jimmy, Darcy and I are having problems.
She's moved out.
Oh, boy, that's tough.
A lot of people leaving you lately, huh? I'm sorry.
That's insensitive.
l I'll get my coat.
I'll take you to her, Jimmy.
Really? Hey, how are your communication skills? You know, because that's really what marriage is all about.
Honesty, love.
I'd say it's fifty-fifty.
Sort of like half and half, you know? Actually, more like thirds if you throw respect in there.
But not equal thirds because honesty is more important than the love and the respect, I think.
You got one of the only salt mines around for 400 miles.
A year without salt and New Bern will be a ghost town.
What, a couple hundred pounds? No, we need a lot more than that.
- We're gonna need food.
- No food to spare.
- Won't see another crop till spring.
- Spring crop's what I'm talking about.
Ten wind turbines for, let's say, Can't put ourselves in that position.
Spring crop might not get us through next year.
If we lose 10 percent we'll be in the same position we are now.
Worse.
All we're asking you to do is be reasonable.
We're just trying to survive.
Starve next fall or freeze this winter.
Take your pick.
Yeah, vancomycin, good.
Start a drip, 250 milligram IV.
I'll do it.
We found four people who are O Negative.
- Fetal heart rate is one - I'll get it off the ultrasound.
Her blood pressure is 130 over 70.
Her respiratory rate is 18 and her pulse is 88.
It's going up.
She's losing blood.
Her heart's compensating by pumping harder.
Start an IV for the blood.
What do you see? - Placenta previa.
- What's that? The placenta is covering the entire cervix.
There's no way to find out where the bleeding's from unless we operate.
Well, what are we gonna do? Well, under the best of circumstances, this is not an operating facility.
- Then we don't have a choice.
- We cannot operate here.
Why? I have been through this more times than you could possibly imagine.
We've all been through a lot.
Just tell us what I have seen hundreds of people die because of dirty facilities and infection, because I didn't have proper medicine or the equipment that I needed.
- I am not doing it again.
- We are not losing this baby.
You can find yourself another butcher.
There's gotta be a way.
Come on.
- Kenchy.
- Listen.
We need a sterile operating room.
Sterile instruments, anesthesia, spinal-block tray, cesarean tray.
Have you ever even seen a surgery performed without an electrocautery machine? You haven't.
It's not even taught anymore.
Can't we just use laparotomy sponges to stop the bleeding? God, my head is killing me.
We've got several spinal-block trays and we've got anesthesia.
And we can boil the sheets and the tools.
Is it possible? - Remotely.
- Then start.
- We need bleach.
- What? Bleach.
You know, bleach.
Bleach.
Bonnie, look at my lips.
Bleach.
Learn.
- Is that the word for bleach? - No.
Bitch.
And please, and sorry.
Dale? I'm heading out.
If I'm not back, lock up at dark and don't let anyone in.
Also, if I'm not around ever, and you need anything, just talk to Gail Green or Johnston.
You can trust them.
I'm gonna come with you.
Why? Two against one.
Hey, Bill.
What's wrong? I just jumped in.
It was It It was just in the moment.
You volunteered at the medical center long before I ever got here.
It's fine.
Kenchy just doesn't know you.
Everybody else respects you.
They speak your language.
- Hey, we got a problem.
- What's that? Eddie and Frank are asking how come you're not making the deal.
Word's gonna start to spread.
As far as they know, the Marines said the Army Corps of Engineers will be here in a month.
What difference is it if we give New Bern a part of next year's crop? They think there will be food then.
You didn't wanna tell them that was a bunch of crap, so now what? All right.
Maybe we should tell the town that help's not coming.
We just told them that to give them something to get through winter.
Town's already on the edge.
You'll have anarchy.
And I'm not gonna leverage next winter's food.
It'd be suicide.
What if we tell New Bern we'll give We get power now.
If next year we don't have food to give, we don't give it up.
That's how wars get started.
I can't believe Darcy's been staying at the refugee shelter.
Hey, Jim, let me talk to her a second.
- Sure.
- Thanks.
I asked you to stay away.
Jimmy wanted to ask you some questions about Sarah.
Where are the kids? They're in the gym, playing.
We need a consistent cover story.
What did you do with her body? I buried her.
So I could tell him that right now and never see you again.
Tell him about What'd you call it? - "The package"? - Stop it.
You understand the story? Family, New Orleans, and you don't know anything else about her.
This will just take a sec.
Yeah, well, I don't wanna talk to you in front of him.
Why don't you give us a minute, Mr.
Hawkins? I'll be out front.
Let you two talk.
You're gonna be okay, angel.
- Did you ever do a surgical rotation? - Only in school.
Most of my career was in post-op.
Kenchy, I feel obligated to ask you if you're sober enough to do this.
You can talk me through it.
You'll refer to me as Dr.
Duwhalia, nurse.
And my sobriety is not the issue.
The people I call doctor don't smell like a brewery.
Respirations are 16.
Pulse rate is 82.
Blood pressure's down to a hundred over 62.
God help us.
- Well, is the baby okay? - I don't know.
- Mom said there's a problem.
- We were just collecting firewood.
- You don't have to explain it to me.
- What about Mom? Don't worry about that.
Shut the door.
We're losing too much blood.
Clamp it off.
Get away from the incision.
I need to hear if the baby's in distress.
Get away from the incision.
You haven't let me get a pulse from this baby in an hour.
Respirations are 16.
Pulse is 84.
Fetal heart rate is less than five beats per minute.
You're not close enough to the fetus.
That's not accurate.
The placenta has grown into the uterus wall.
It's ripping away.
That's what's causing the bleeding.
I lost it.
I can't hear anything.
- What is going on? - The baby's heartbeat has stopped.
- What do you mean it's stopped? - Do something.
That must be the last of the diesel.
Open the door.
Open the blinds.
I need light.
Why aren't you doing something about the baby? This hasn't been about the baby for several hours.
The baby never really had a chance.
I'm sorry.
What are you saying? I am trying to save April.
- What do you want? - The same thing as before.
- My share of the crop.
- I told you I can't do that.
Go home.
I'm only asking for what's mine.
You said there's no law, right? I'm not trying to cheat anybody.
I don't have that much left.
Then give me my share of whatever you got.
Right now.
What's going on? I just need some space right now.
We lost the baby.
Oh, sweetie.
I need to be with April right now.
Hey, what took you so long? Well, after talking with Darcy, a lot of things are starting to make sense now.
You all right, Mr.
Hawkins? I'm fine.
Well, Darcy said that Sarah left for New Orleans just like you told me.
What, you think I was lying? I told Darcy she and the kids could come stay with us.
She doesn't need to be staying in the shelter.
Thanks, Jimmy.
I appreciate that.
We found a body, Robert.
Out in the woods.
Near Mill Creek.
Broken neck.
Animals got to it.
Michael Connor was on patrol, said he saw an African-American woman driving out that way a couple nights ago.
Perfect description of Sarah Mason.
Really? Yeah.
Think she could do something like that? I don't know.
You know, I'm learning that it's hard to figure what people are capable of, Jimmy.
Well, John Doe was bald.
Know anyone looks like that? No.
Well, if Sarah comes back, we'd really, really like to talk to her.
My guess is she's not coming back.
Yeah.
That'd be my guess too.
New Bern's all made of clay, can't grow nothing.
We need 10 percent of your spring crop and 700 pounds of refined salt.
Well, you said 500 earlier.
- The price went up.
- Why? Because that's what power costs in this world.
Oh, now, come on.
We got people freezing to death in their homes.
Give us a break.
You were at my son's wedding.
I'm sorry for your troubles, but we got our own.
Okay, okay.
We'll give you the food, we'll give you the salt.
- Everything.
- All right.
We can have the wind turbines to you in a couple of weeks.
What guarantee do we have you'll give us our share? You have our word.
We're gonna need 10 Jericho men to help us build them.
We can take them back with us now.
Is this about manpower for wind turbines? Or is it more about making sure you get our crops come spring? Human beings as collateral? I would never do that.
But I am not gonna build these things on credit.
You want them now, you're gonna help make them.
Just hold the pressure.
Put pressure right there.
Right there.
Press, harder.
Damn it! I can't see.
I'll get another lantern.
You can bring 10 lanterns.
It doesn't make a difference.
It's not gonna be enough.
I need real light.
Blood pressure is down to 66 over 30.
This is crazy.
This is crazy.
Close her up.
- But we haven't stopped the bleeding.
- What are you doing? Give her some peace.
Give her some dignity.
You are not giving up on her.
I'm sorry.
- Close this up.
- No.
Hey, where do you think you're going? You get back inside right now.
- Hey, hey, take it easy.
- Come on! This is not over.
Take it easy, all right? Just let me handle this.
Let me handle it.
What are you doing? You want me to say it in front of him? Go back inside, all right? April needs you.
To go on operating is cruel and pointless.
Don't even ask me, Jake.
I'm done with this.
I became a plastic surgeon to have a simple life.
- There are other men for this.
- Not in this town.
I don't care.
I'm not going through this anymore.
It is madness.
And everyone here can just go to hell? If you stop trying and I stop then they see that.
And this whole thing falls apart.
We're all leaning on each other here, whether you like it or not.
Promise me you are not saying that we're all connected.
This is not some existential, web of life B.
S.
That is not what I'm hearing, is it, Jake? Then tell me what you wanna hear.
Because I'll say anything if you'll just go back in there and keep trying.
She's going to die.
I know.
Okay, new gloves.
Let's get this bleeding stopped, shall we? - Well, we've got more sponges.
- Excellent.
Pack them in around this vascular bleeding.
Just give me time to suture.
He's gonna need you.
Now.
Hold my hand.
I'm right here.
I'm right next to you.
I like the name Tracy.
Tracy is a beautiful name.
Thank you for not saying anything.
I didn't do it for you.
I did it for Allison.
I need my family to come home.
And I need you.
You know, in the last three months I remembered all the reasons why I needed you in my life.
So have I.
I've also remembered why it can never work.
I need truth, Robert, and that's something you've never given me.
- Everything I do, I do for us.
- You listen.
When you hide a part of yourself, I don't care what the reason is, it puts something between us.
Please.
My daughter just killed a woman.
I don't have any more trust to give you.
So I have the kids with Margaret back at the house.
- What can I carry? - This one.
Hang in there.
I have faith in you guys.
Sorry? The wind turbine's working.
Mrs.
Hodges, how are you doing? - Not so hot.
- Let's get you checked out again.
Dr.
Duwhalia.
Mrs.
Hodges' cough is worse.
Her temperature is 102.
Hello, Mrs.
Hodges, Dr.
Duwhalia.
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
Would you go outside and get a pan of boiling hot water? A little tent with a sheet.
We need to get this lady breathing some moist air.
Take a deep breath.
Here we go.
That was incredible! Did you see the look on his face? I know, I thought he was gonna have a heart attack and we'd have to drive him to the medical center.
I think we're gonna be okay.
Thanks for coming.
I wanted to be there.
With you.
You men are the only ones who really know what's going on here.
When New Bern gets their share of the spring crop, you'll be allowed to return.
I know that sounds like a long time, but what you are about to do means this town's survival.
Now, your families want some time to say goodbye, so let's get going.
I'll be back.
Take care of Bonnie, okay? Look, I just wanna tell you something.
- Don't freak out, okay? - I won't.
In this crazy world, we don't know what's gonna happen tomorrow, and I don't want to leave anything unsaid.
So I'm just gonna say it, okay? So here I go.
I've loved you since the first day I saw you at Bailey's.
You said it first.
No one's ever said it first to me before.
Well, I don't know what's gonna happen tomorrow.
Plus, I can hold it over you for the rest of our lives.
I love you, Stanley Richmond.
But I said it first.
It wasn't your fault, Eric.
You don't have to do this.
I can't be here right now.
I can't.
Take care, son.
Be strong.
I'm sorry, Mom.
We'll take care of Mary.
All right, let's move out.
My dad told me what's happened.
First you're helping us, and now this.
- What the hell is going on? - They'll be fine.
I'm gonna look after them.
You have to trust me on this.
Trust? - This isn't me.
- Where's Heather? She's fine.
I told her we were making the trip.
She didn't wanna come.
Truth.
If anything happens to any of them, you're the first one I come for.
I know.
