Kennedy
1
[helicopter blades thumping]
- [edgy music playing]
- [EMT] 32-year-old male.
Tried to beat a speeding train,
didn’t make it.
Severe neck and back pain.
Deformity to the right lower leg.
His vitals are stable.
[Danny] It's Glenn Vogel.
- The guy I got in a fight with.
- [Phillips] You're kidding.
Wife and baby were in the car with him.
They're on the next chopper.
All right. Let's get him downstairs.
[intense music playing]
- [Elijah] What have we got?
- [Phillips] Patient's name is Glenn Vogel.
- Thirties, in a car hit by a train.
- Glenn Vogel?
Are you kidding me?
I do not want her in here.
Sir, I need you to lay back down.
It is not your decision.
You neither! Get out!
- Leave me alone and let me--
- No.
[Glenn screaming]
- You need to relax. You need to relax.
- [Danny] You have very serious injuries.
If your neck or back is broken
you could end up paralyzed. Okay?
I don’t give a shit! Out of my face!
Hey! Stop! Or we'll put you in restraints.
Don't look at me. Let us treat you,
or we park you in the hall,
and you can call someone to pick you up.
[tense music recedes]
Fine.
Fix me.
- What do you wanna do first?
- Um, Danny, heart and lungs.
- Then let's get a FAST going.
- On it.
Harper, check out his legs for me?
Obvious deformity
of right lower extremity.
Other than your leg,
can you tell me what else is hurting?
Where’s my wife? My baby? Where are they?
We heard they're coming in
on the next chopper.
Are they hurt? Are they gonna die?
If they’re bringing them to this hospital,
it's because they’re alive.
His wife and baby got here.
They’re coming down.
Okay. We got him. Go.
No. Wait. What happened to them?
Are they okay?
I’m going to find out.
Stop! I don't want you touching them
without talking to me first--
I know that you don’t like us, but he is
who you want taking care of your family.
[Glenn] That’s my wife.
[tearfully] My baby.
[crying] Please do not let them die.
Please don't let them die!
[music fades]
- [heartbeat thumping]
- [breathy oscillating tones]
- [sharp breath]
- [heartbeat stops]
[slow exhalation]
- [baby crying]
- [indistinct chattering]
Hey, Marco, were you able to get
those LFTs and coags on bed nine?
Oh, man, I'm sorry.
I am so backed up still.
Speaking of which,
watch out for Dr. Broussard.
She's reaming out anybody
who takes too long on a discharge.
- God forbid her metrics suffer.
- Yeah.
Doctors Phillips and Morales,
we've got 27 in the waiting room.
I hope you're not talking sports.
No. I've actually just discharged
one and three.
Then you can take
rooms four, six, and seven.
Dr. Broussard, I've got
a full load of patients already.
Then work faster, golden boy.
Julio, how you doing, bud?
- [Julio] Hey, Dr. Phillips.
- What's going on, man?
- Sandra, good to see you.
- Good to see you.
- How you feeling?
- I'm okay.
It's a lot of fluid,
and it's pretty painful today.
- Let's take a look here.
- [Julio grunts]
A lot of ascites.
Any change in your liver disease?
Not really.
Have you been seeing Dr. Forman?
Going to your GI appointments?
Um… I’ve, uh, been going to FIU now,
and, uh, my schedule’s really busy.
Hold on, FIU? When did that happen?
I feel like you just started high school.
Tell me about it. He's the first person
in the family to go to college.
- That's awesome.
- Thanks, man.
So there’s not a lot of tenderness.
Have you been having any fevers?
No, but the pressure…
I mean, it's hard to breathe.
Can you take some of the fluid off?
You’re really supposed to
get it done in your GI clinic,
and we’re really slammed today.
But, uh… yeah, let me see what I can do.
Sit tight. I'll be back.
- [elevator dings]
- [edgy music playing]
30-year-old female in the passenger seat.
Her side was hit by a train.
She's hypotensive
with significant chest trauma.
That's her infant,
found crying in the car seat.
Dry mucus membranes, respiratory distress.
- I can take Benny. I saw him days ago.
- Keep me posted. Cass, stay with her.
- Let's go to exam room three.
- Yeah, sure.
- Let's get her to trauma one.
- Yes, Doctor.
- Excuse me, ma'am, what's your name?
- [labored breathing] Kathryn.
Kathryn we're gonna take good care
of you, all right?
What have we got?
Nine-month-old involved in a car accident.
Tachypneic and dry mucus membranes.
But otherwise stable vitals.
What’s at the top of your differential
for why he's so underweight?
- Pyloric stenosis?
- Let's get him to CT.
Copy.
[Kathryn groans softly]
Ben… Benny?
We're taking good care of him.
I need to make sure you're okay.
Kathryn. Kathryn, stay with me.
- [beeping]
- Oh God! Not good. All right.
Let’s get the rapid transfuser.
Get her four units of blood, now. Sophie?
- Yeah, what do you need?
- I need you.
I know surgery's backed up right now,
so you're gonna run point with me, okay?
Let's figure out a battle plan.
[music fades out]
Hey.
[Cass] Hi.
I guess you heard about
what happened with Soriano.
- Yup.
- How bad is it?
For you or for me?
[scoffs]
You weren't even thinking about me,
were you?
How embarrassing this is for me.
You know how stupid I look?
For being with me?
For believing in you.
Look, I'm sorry, I…
That's fine.
And for me, at least,
it's gonna pass, but you…
The problem is
you don't have anything in the bank.
The bank?
When you treat people decently,
you're putting a coin in the bank.
When you do something selfless,
that is a coin in the bank.
You need to have something
in the bank, Tom.
[solemn music playing softly]
Oh, no, no, no, no. I am not leaving
out of here in a wheelchair.
Hospital policy.
I've done 1,000 laps around
this place with my IV pole.
The floor's slippery.
Come on, I can totally walk.
- Mm-mm.
- Look.
["Tutu (Remix)" by Camilo,
Pedro Capó & Shakira plays]
Okay. Vero. Nena…
- I can even dance.
- Okay, yes.
- [in Spanish] Slowly. Yes
- Slowly, slowly.
Careful. Okay, look at that.
[in English] There's a lot
going on there. [laughs]
[in Spanish] So, can I leave dancing?
Mom, dance with me.
[in English] Come on. Come on.
- Okay. Pero, down.
- Okay.
[Vero] Down, down. Yes, down.
[song continues playing]
Come on, feel it.
Hey! Okay, Mom.
[both laughing]
[in Spanish] Okay, you can leave walking.
- [in English] Right? Special privileges.
- Yay.
[in Spanish] Thank you, Mom!
[in English] I need Dr. Soriano
to formally discharge you.
Then we'll go.
[Vero] Okay.
[song fades out]
Dr. Cruz.
You're stalking me.
I'm trying to talk to you,
but you're making it quite difficult.
Not difficult enough, apparently.
This is awkward for the both of us. Okay?
You don't want to give up the department.
- I'm not trying to take it away from you.
- Oh, really?
You're not actively trying
to campaign for the job?
Not to cut you out.
I wanna work with you.
In fact, I was coming to ask you
who you've chosen
for Chief Resident next year.
Well, when the board calls
to make it official, I will let you know.
There's one more thing.
Glenn Vogel and his family are in the ER.
Car crash. Danny Simms is treating him.
Just thought you should know,
considering what happened
a couple days ago.
[pensive music plays lightly]
Uh, bedside echo looks good.
- You have 60%.
- Okay.
- What's the update?
- It's not great.
We're working on the baby,
mother is pale and hypotensive.
Okay. Thanks.
[Glenn] What's going on? Are they okay?
They're… alive,
and we are doing everything that we can.
That's what the doctors
in Gainesville said to my dad
right before he died of a MRSA infection.
And we got a $170,000 hospital bill.
Wiped out everything they had.
I'm sorry.
Couldn't do anything for Benny
a couple days ago.
Why should I believe you now?
Are you saying Benny got worse
when he got home?
- Much worse.
- Dr. Simms literally begged you to stay.
We wouldn't be here now if you'd listened.
It's okay. We understand.
[somber music playing]
Maybe what you people did made him worse.
He stopped breathing so many times.
Kathryn was so scared.
I was trying to get him to my mom.
She's a midwife. She knows what to do.
So, that's why you were speeding.
It wasn't my fault.
Kathryn was screaming.
Benny had stopped breathing again.
Why couldn't you have helped him?
I'm…
I'm really sorry that this is happening
to you right now. I really am.
I promise you we are doing everything
that we possibly can to try and fix it.
Please don't tell me I killed them.
[somber music swells]
I'm gonna keep you updated. Okay?
- Elijah, you've got it from here, right?
- Yeah.
- [Gabe] She's bradying down.
- [Phillips] We're losing her.
- How can I help?
- We need to crack her chest.
- Isn't she blunt force trauma?
- Heart rate's dropping, in the 30s.
- Yeah, but she's young and healthy.
- I think it's the right call.
- Where do you want me?
- You intubate while I prep?
- Can I get an intubation tray?
- [Gabe] I'm on it.
[Phillips] All right.
[beeping]
Shit. We lost pulses.
Let's start compressions.
Let's get ready to open her up.
[female staff] Yes, doc. Prepping.
- [tense music playing]
- [staff speak indistinctly]
[music fades out]
Dr. Phillips,
this room was empty on the board.
Yes, Julio is actually
a longtime patient of mine.
He came in for a paracentesis.
So, you snuck in a non-emergent patient.
He's in a lot of pain. He can't get
into his GI clinic until next week.
All right, get it done. And get him out.
Great. Yes. Um, Donna…
would you mind grabbing me an ultrasound?
Might be a minute,
they're both being used.
[chuckling] Or, just an idea.
You do this extremely basic procedure
without an ultrasound.
I've never done one using only landmarks.
Sick people are waiting for this room.
Now, either you get it done,
or we discharge him.
Please, man, just do it.
I can't wait another week.
Yeah, let's get you better.
[soft music plays]
[dramatic music builds]
[Danny] She's intubated.
Gabe, I can swap in.
[Phillips] All right.
Let's do it. Ten blade.
[female staff] Ten blade.
- [Danny grunting]
- [steady dramatic music plays]
[pensive music playing]
[Julio sighs]
Thank you.
[Broussard] So…
you can ride the bike
without the training wheels.
Good for you.
[steady music continues]
- Sophie, rib spreaders.
- [female staff] Rib spreaders.
Thank you.
All right, I'm in.
[Gabe] Holding compressions.
What do you see?
Want us to continue compressions?
Do you see the heart?
I need to cut through the pericardium.
Keep holding compressions.
- [Danny] Okay.
- [heartbeat thumping]
We'll be discharging room five
in, uh, 15 minutes.
[sighs deeply]
[Sandra] Help! Please, someone help us.
Please, we need help over here!
Hey, open the door.
- Sandra?
- [Sandra crying]
- What's going on?
- He's unconscious.
He was fine when we got home.
He just collapsed.
[Phillips] Julio! Julio, can you hear me?
Julio. Julio, can you hear me?
Come on, come on.
- I'll take care of him.
- Please, Dr. Phillips. Please.
It's gonna be okay. Let's wheel him out.
[dramatic music playing]
Let's get him into a trauma bay.
[man] On our way.
[steady dramatic tones build]
[Phillips] Okay.
Cutting through the pericardium.
[Gabe] Vitals aren't stabilizing.
[monitor beeping]
[Camila gasps]
Oh God. She ruptured her right ventricle.
Holy shit, can you fix that?
[Gabe] She's circling the drain, guys.
- Xander, we're losing her.
- Call up to cardiac surgery.
Tell them I'm plugging a ventricular tear
with my finger. I need help, now.
Okay. We need to move her up to the OR.
What about a Foley catheter
to plug the hole?
- Great idea.
- [Gabe] I'm on it.
[music intensifies]
[Phillips] Hang in there, Kathryn.
[tense music builds steadily]
[music peaks and fades]
Abdomen’s distended. He must've bled out.
He's about to code. We've lost pulses.
[flatline tone]
- Let's start compressions. The stool.
- [woman] Starting compressions.
- [grunting lightly]
- [flatline tone continues]
[flatline tone echoes and fades]
[somber music playing softly]
[Phillips] All right.
Hold compressions. Pulse check.
All right, no pulses, what's his rhythm?
Still V-fib on the monitor. Charge 200.
[woman] Charging to 200.
- [thumping]
- [flatline tone continues]
[Phillips] Resume compressions.
Hold compressions.
Pulse check?
[flatline tone]
Asystole.
[gentle music plays]
- [monitor beeps off]
- [exhales]
[somber music resumes]
[no audible dialogue]
[somber music fades slowly]
[Danny] BP's coming back up.
She's stabilizing.
I think we did it.
You saved her.
[peaceful music plays]
[Chan] Let's put her on a portable monitor
and move her to the OR.
["By My Side" by The Paper Kites
(feat. Rosie Carney) playing]
- Camila, can you give us a minute?
- Oh, yeah.
Xander, she's going to be okay.
You saved her.
[Phillips] She could still die in surgery.
You need to tell her husband.
Not until she's out of the woods.
And I want to tell you that I want you ♪
Any way I can ♪
[monitor beeping]
I want to take you in my arms, I do ♪
Cole, what are you doing here?
I was just seeing how she was doing.
[incredulously] No. You…
You don't have that privilege anymore.
If you have any interest in a career
in medicine, you'll stay away from her.
Okay. In every sense of the word.
- Look, I understand.
- You do? You understand?
- Mm-hmm.
- Because she's in critical condition.
Her family, they now have legal grounds
to question our treatment of her
'cause of what they think happened
between you two.
No, the only thing you can do right now
regarding Nia Washington is pray.
And get out.
By my side ♪
It's where I want to be ♪
By my side ♪
Forevermore… ♪
So…
[exhales]
I had this patient named Julio.
He was 20.
One night he came in…
The ER was slammed,
and Dr. Broussard, she wanted me to hurry,
so I did, and…
I must have nicked a vessel.
I think about it
every time I walk into a trauma bay.
I think about it
every time I work on a patient.
[Danny] I'm sorry.
[exhales] But you know,
I think I could have lived with it.
Instead, my mom
covered the whole thing up.
So, when I transferred to Maguire,
people wondered why I left.
Which, I guess, is where
those rumors must have come from,
about the other women, and…
I couldn't tell you it wasn't true
because breaking an NDA could ruin me.
And my family.
[Danny] Hmm.
It's still my fault, though.
'Cause I let it happen.
And I'm ashamed.
My mom didn't want it
to ruin my career, but…
she also didn't want it to taint hers.
She put me in this inescapable box.
[quietly] God, I fucked up.
It wasn't your fault.
No.
I fucked up with you.
You were right, I shouldn't have pushed,
I shouldn't have…
I shouldn't put you in the position I did.
I should have just listened to you.
You know, to what you wanted,
they way you needed.
[sighs]
I'm really sorry, Danny.
I'm so sorry.
[chuckles softly, inhales]
Thank you for saying that.
["By My Side" continues playing]
I need you to know I really do love you.
[breathes deeply]
I love you too.
You know, I keep thinking
about our Sunday dinners.
- [chuckles lightly]
- God, I'm gonna miss those.
[soft music playing gently]
Maybe I'll get fired.
No way my parents let you get fired.
Not after what I told you.
Maybe I'll get fired,
and you won't be my boss anymore.
And we can… start fresh.
See what happens.
You want that?
Sounds kind of nice.
[Danny chuckles softly]
[music fades out]
Hey, how's Mom?
Um, in surgery.
It's too soon to say.
- How's the baby?
- He'll be okay. Yeah.
Pyloric stenosis.
You were right.
- You should feel proud.
- Oh, I do.
Don't worry.
Hey. What do you think
they're doing in there?
[Elijah] The beat goes on.
[Harper] You know,
you should tell her how you feel.
It's not like that.
Danny and I are just friends.
I'm just saying, I see you.
[Harper chuckles lightly]
Chan. I heard you did
a thoracotomy with Phillips.
I assisted.
I just dropped her off in surgery.
I'm taking you off
the surgical service tomorrow.
You should have a new schedule soon.
Hey. What is your problem?
- My problem?
- Yeah.
Why is it that every time
I do something right,
you need to knock me down a peg
and make me feel bad about myself?
[sobering music plays]
You know,
never once have you lifted me up.
Never once have you encouraged me,
and you know what? People notice.
Do you know that Camila
would rather leave this hospital
than deal with your bullshit?
Like, we could actually lose her,
and all of her goodness
and optimism because, what?
You can't deal with your ego?
You done?
'Cause I actually agree with you.
I changed your schedule
so that we won't be on the same shifts.
Which I think you'll find
is for your own good.
[soft music playing]
- [Camila] Hey.
- [Chan] Hey.
Danny and Phillips want an update
on Kathryn Vogel soon as surgery has one.
[Cruz] Come on.
- Let's bust you out.
- [Soriano chuckles]
- [in Spanish] Be careful.
- Yes, yes, yes. Be careful.
[in English] Come on.
[chatting in Spanish]
[in Spanish] Did you get
a call from the board?
Yes.
And…?
- [Camila speaking Spanish]
- [Soriano and Cruz] How's it going?
[in English] Hey, Vero, right?
Hi, I'm Camila.
[in Spanish] Hi, Camila!
Congratulations. I see you're going home.
That's great.
Thank you.
Were you there when I came in?
Yeah, I was. It was my first day.
Do you like it here?
- [in English] Yeah.
- [light laughter]
- Pretend Dr. Cruz isn't even here.
- That's what I do.
No, no, really. Um…
I really do. I love it here.
[Cruz] Ah…
[in Spanish] I wish
you weren't leaving us.
I hear you're petitioning
to go over to Miami South.
Natalie, leave her alone.
[in English] I'm sorry.
I didn't realize that you'd be…
Keeping tabs on all my medical students?
It's hard to ignore the ones
that get reviews like yours.
I mean, everyone I've talked to.
Dr. Phillips, Dr. Elijah,
Luis, the attendings…
[in Spanish] They say
marvelous things about you.
We would be very disappointed to lose you.
[hopeful music plays]
[scattered cheers and chattering]
[speaking encouragingly]
Oh my God. Hi.
- [Elijah chuckles]
- [cheering continues]
[man] You did good!
[light chuckling]
- So happy for you.
- Thank you so much.
[indistinct chattering]
- Hi.
- My mom said you saved my life.
That…
Don't be modest.
Vero wouldn't be here without you.
I'm glad I could help.
[tearfully] Thank you.
[solemn music playing]
[Danny chuckles softly]
Ah!
See, the frustrating thing
is now I can't fire you.
But, I wasn't going to anyway.
Although when you're Chief next year,
remember how close you came.
It'll keep you grounded.
I…
Let's keep this between us for now.
It'll be announced tomorrow at the party.
[chuckling sigh]
Isn't…
Isn't this just gonna make everything
so much harder for you?
Not your concern.
Just focus on being a good doctor.
[chuckles softly]
I'm really happy for you.
It's awesome.
[gentle music playing]
[chuckles lightly]
[music fades]
Stay off it as much as possible.
Ice, and that'll be it when you get home.
- Okay? Now take it slow.
- [ringtone playing]
Sophie, you have an update?
What is it?
Are they okay?
So, your son has a condition
called pyloric stenosis.
It’s very treatable, and he’ll be fine.
I also just heard from the OR.
Kathryn just got out of surgery,
and she did very well.
[shuddering breath]
Everyone's very optimistic
about her recovery.
[gentle music playing]
[music fades]
[Chan] Uh…
Hey! Hey, Camila!
- I found your earring.
- God, are you serious?
- Yeah.
- Holy shit, thank you!
Um…
- Well, you said you liked it, so…
- No, it's more than that.
My grandma gave it to me
before she died, so…
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
- Happened last year.
- So, where'd you find it?
Uh… Oh, well…
First, I went to the spot that
you normally eat your breakfast.
I guess it's not really your breakfast,
but that blueberry muffin
you get from the coffee cart.
Um, I went to the table next to the tree.
Checked the floor, wasn't there.
So I talked to the janitor.
- And he didn't have it…
- The janitor?
Well, yeah. I, um…
I wanted to ask him to check his mop
to see if it was… tangled in there.
Anyway, uh… I found it
on the floor in the docbox.
Um…
Actually, can I see that
for a sec? Thanks.
Uh, so, I'm going to be
holding this hostage now because…
I don't want you to go.
[soft music playing]
This hospital
wouldn't be nearly as good without you.
And, um…
I really love… working with you,
and, uh, you make me…
laugh.
And you make me better.
So, I'm going to be holding onto this
until you agree.
So you'd really keep
my dead abuela's earring from me?
Yeah. 100%.
Well, I actually took back
my petition this afternoon.
I decided I'm going to stay,
so hand it over.
Oh God, you just let me
make that whole speech.
I loved your speech.
[man] Camila!
- [Camila] Oh my God!
- Hola, mi amor.
- Hi, baby.
- Hi. [kisses]
- Cómo estás? Thank you. Gracias.
- Hi, happy last day. These are for you.
[music fades out]
- Uh, hi!
- [man] Hi!
- I'm Sophie.
- Hi, I'm Rodrigo.
- Rodrigo, wow, nice to meet you.
- Yeah.
Um, I didn't, uh…
I didn't realize Camila had a boyfriend.
She doesn't.
- Hopefully. Right?
- [laughs] Stop.
- I'm her fiancé.
- [chuckling] Oh, wow!
That is great!
That is so amazing. Great.
Um, I didn't, uh, see… Uh, where's the…
Oh, right. Yeah. No, it was really recent,
so it's getting resized right now.
Cool. That's cool. Cool, cool.
Um… well, I… I gotta go. Home.
Um, so…
- It was a pleasure meeting you.
- Rodrigo.
- Yeah.
- Great.
- Anyway, I'll see you Monday?
- Yeah.
Well, thank you.
Have fun at the party tomorrow.
[elevator dings]
[light music playing]
Hey, Dr. Sanchez.
Dr. Phillips.
- Congratulations on making attending.
- Thank you.
I gotta say, I was a little surprised.
I think all the other attendings were too.
- Really?
- Come on.
Right, you're a charmed son of a bitch.
People have made allowances for you
just 'cause of who you are.
[exhales]
And you were a good Chief.
You gotta realize there's no safety net
when you become an attending.
Any mistake anyone
you're supervising makes,
from the dumbest med student to,
well, your new Chief Resident,
that all falls on you.
Hope you're ready for that.
You know, I… I get it.
You're not my biggest fan,
and I would have said I was excited
to work with you as colleagues,
but since we're being honest,
you were always
my least favorite attending.
I'll see you Monday, Patrick.
["Despechá" by Rosalía plays]
[Elijah] No, what I'm saying is,
like, you have disposable income.
[Danny] Like, attending money?
[Elijah] No. No, you really got funds.
Like, you're rich.
- [Danny] Uh…
- [Harper] Japan.
- [Elijah] That's what I'm talking about.
- Straight to Kyoto. Do not pass Go.
Do not collect 200 dollars. And…
I'm bringing 50 grand with me
for shopping.
Nice. Danny, what about you?
[Danny] Um…
Sicily.
I would go to a vineyard in Sicily.
And I would drink red wine,
and sit by the pool,
not think about my student debt,
which was miraculously gone
because of all of my amazing money.
[all laughing]
Danny Simms.
You wanted to know
who I chose as Chief Resident.
Okay. Thank you.
And we can have
a business-only lunch… that you pay for.
Great. Your pick.
Claro.
["Caramelo" by Cosmic Wacho plays]
[Phillips grunts]
- I don't want to talk about it.
- What?
You screaming at me in the ER
or the Nia situation?
Neither.
At least I know why you're being
a bigger dickhead than usual.
- Can I get you anything?
- Yeah, just a water, please.
So, uh, what happens now?
She wakes up,
her family could sue, and I'd be fired.
Or she dies,
her family could sue, and I'd be fired.
I'd also be devastated.
You really care about her.
I can't even admit that
without getting in trouble.
- Got you a new one.
- Oh, thank you.
You read my mind.
You are welcome… Chief.
Oh, you don't know that. That's…
I mean, it's going to be you.
And you deserve it. Honestly.
Just want you to know that.
Thank you.
So, Sicily, huh?
- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.
I mean, why not?
[Danny laughs]
- Where would you go?
- I don't know.
Sicily sounds pretty good.
[Cruz] Hello, everyone.
Buenas tardes.
So good to see you all here.
It's been a great year.
And you have all worked tirelessly.
And for that, I cannot thank you enough.
I need to announce that next year,
there will be a change.
The administration has made the decision
to split the ER and surgical departments.
Which means I will remain
chairman of surgery,
and the ER will be getting
a new interim chairperson.
It really has been the honor of my life
to grow this hospital into
the trauma center it is today.
But there comes a time to pass the baton.
And I'm very pleased
to pass on the leadership of ER
to one of our own,
Senior ER Attending Patrick Sanchez.
[scattered chattering]
[light music playing]
[Sanchez] Thank you, Dr. Cruz.
I am truly honored
and humbled to take over this ER,
one which you have built
into such an incredible institution.
As most of you know,
I like to keep things simple,
and I don't like public speaking,
but there is one outstanding matter
on which I need to speak to you today.
And that is the appointment…
of our new Chief Resident
for the following year.
Now, in consultation with Dr. Cruz
and the board, I have decided to choose…
Dr. Samuel Elijah.
[group clapping and chattering]
[woman] Sam!
[pensive music playing]
- [Danny] Congratulations.
- Thank you.
- [man] Elijah…
- Hey.
Hey… Yeah, man.
[woman] Happy for you.
- Good work, baby.
- Thanks, boo. Thank you.
[woman] You're gonna do great.
[Elijah] Thanks. Wow.
[music fades out]
["Decent Driver" by M.I.L.K plays]
Hey.
Danny, I'm so sorry.
I didn't know he was gonna do that.
You don't have anything to be sorry for.
[Cruz sighs]
This is the price
you paid for me, isn't it?
Sanchez taking the ER?
It's not on you.
I was taught you take the hits.
You don't complain.
My mistake was thinking
that would stop the hits from coming.
They never stop coming.
You need to work on your pep talk.
[both laughing]
- [Cruz sighs] Ah…
- [Danny chuckles]
I'll be fine.
And you'll be fine too.
You impressed a lot of people
as Chief, Danny, not just me.
So don't underestimate yourself.
Because in the last couple of weeks,
you put yourself on the map.
Is that a better pep talk?
[both chuckle lightly]
I just cannot believe it.
- Of all the people they could have chosen.
- Hang on. There he is.
[Phillips] Hey, Patrick.
Congratulations.
Thank you so much, Dr. Phillips.
And also, um, there are
a lot of attendings I like less than you.
- [Cole snickers]
- [Sanchez chuckles]
See you Monday, Xander.
- I'm so screwed.
- Oh, completely, yeah.
Did it hurt when he did that?
Looked like it hurt.
- [upbeat dance song ends]
- [birds calling]
Hey.
[Danny] Hey.
I'm really… I'm really sorry about Chief.
I'm glad Elijah got it.
Well, I'm glad
you're not going anywhere. [chuckles]
Me too.
- I really--
- Hey, I just…
- You go.
- No, you… You.
It meant a lot, what you said yesterday.
And I'm gonna miss our Sunday dinners too.
And I want you to know that I'm not gonna…
I'm not gonna tell anybody about Kennedy.
Well, it doesn't really matter.
I went to the hospital review board
this afternoon.
Told them everything.
- What?
- Yeah.
You could get sued.
You could lose your license.
- What about your parents?
- I don't give a shit.
It was the right thing to do.
So I did it.
This, uh, girl I really like
said that one time.
I'm trying to be a bit more like her.

Tried to beat a speeding train,
didn’t make it.
Severe neck and back pain.
Deformity to the right lower leg.
His vitals are stable.
[Danny] It's Glenn Vogel.
- The guy I got in a fight with.
- [Phillips] You're kidding.
Wife and baby were in the car with him.
They're on the next chopper.
All right. Let's get him downstairs.
[intense music playing]
- [Elijah] What have we got?
- [Phillips] Patient's name is Glenn Vogel.
- Thirties, in a car hit by a train.
- Glenn Vogel?
Are you kidding me?
I do not want her in here.
Sir, I need you to lay back down.
It is not your decision.
You neither! Get out!
- Leave me alone and let me--
- No.
[Glenn screaming]
- You need to relax. You need to relax.
- [Danny] You have very serious injuries.
If your neck or back is broken
you could end up paralyzed. Okay?
I don’t give a shit! Out of my face!
Hey! Stop! Or we'll put you in restraints.
Don't look at me. Let us treat you,
or we park you in the hall,
and you can call someone to pick you up.
[tense music recedes]
Fine.
Fix me.
- What do you wanna do first?
- Um, Danny, heart and lungs.
- Then let's get a FAST going.
- On it.
Harper, check out his legs for me?
Obvious deformity
of right lower extremity.
Other than your leg,
can you tell me what else is hurting?
Where’s my wife? My baby? Where are they?
We heard they're coming in
on the next chopper.
Are they hurt? Are they gonna die?
If they’re bringing them to this hospital,
it's because they’re alive.
His wife and baby got here.
They’re coming down.
Okay. We got him. Go.
No. Wait. What happened to them?
Are they okay?
I’m going to find out.
Stop! I don't want you touching them
without talking to me first--
I know that you don’t like us, but he is

Hey, Marco, were you able to get

Oh, man, I'm sorry.
I am so backed up still.
Speaking of which,
watch out for Dr. Broussard.
She's reaming out anybody
who takes too long on a discharge.
- God forbid her metrics suffer.
- Yeah.
Doctors Phillips and Morales,
we've got 27 in the waiting room.
I hope you're not talking sports.
No. I've actually just discharged
one and three.
Then you can take
rooms four, six, and seven.
Dr. Broussard, I've got
a full load of patients already.
Then work faster, golden boy.
Julio, how you doing, bud?
- [Julio] Hey, Dr. Phillips.
- What's going on, man?
- Sandra, good to see you.
- Good to see you.
- How you feeling?
- I'm okay.
It's a lot of fluid,
and it's pretty painful today.
- Let's take a look here.
- [Julio grunts]
A lot of ascites.
Any change in your liver disease?
Not really.
Have you been seeing Dr. Forman?
Going to your GI appointments?
Um… I’ve, uh, been going to FIU now,
and, uh, my schedule’s really busy.
Hold on, FIU? When did that happen?
I feel like you just started high school.
Tell me about it. He's the first person
in the family to go to college.
- That's awesome.
- Thanks, man.
So there’s not a lot of tenderness.
Have you been having any fevers?
No, but the pressure…
I mean, it's hard to breathe.
Can you take some of the fluid off?
You’re really supposed to
get it done in your GI clinic,
and we’re really slammed today.
But, uh… yeah, let me see what I can do.
Sit tight. I'll be back.

30-year-old female in the passenger seat.

Dry mucus membranes, respiratory distress.
- I can take Benny. I saw him days ago.
- Keep me posted. Cass, stay with her.
- Let's go to exam room three.
- Yeah, sure.
- Let's get her to trauma one.
- Yes, Doctor.
- Excuse me, ma'am, what's your name?
- [labored breathing] Kathryn.
Kathryn we're gonna take good care
of you, all right?
What have we got?
Nine-month-old involved in a car accident.
Tachypneic and dry mucus membranes.
But otherwise stable vitals.
What’s at the top of your differential
for why he's so underweight?
- Pyloric stenosis?
- Let's get him to CT.
Copy.

Ben… Benny?
We're taking good care of him.
I need to make sure you're okay.

so you're gonna run point with me, okay?
Let's figure out a battle plan.
[music fades out]
Hey.
[Cass] Hi.
I guess you heard about
what happened with Soriano.
- Yup.
- How bad is it?
For you or for me?
[scoffs]
You weren't even thinking about me,
were you?
How embarrassing this is for me.
You know how stupid I look?
For being with me?
For believing in you.
Look, I'm sorry, I…
That's fine.
And for me, at least,
it's gonna pass, but you…
The problem is
you don't have anything in the bank.
The bank?
When you treat people decently,
you're putting a coin in the bank.
When you do something selfless,
that is a coin in the bank.
You need to have something
in the bank, Tom.
[solemn music playing softly]
Oh, no, no, no, no. I am not leaving
out of here in a wheelchair.
Hospital policy.
I've done 1,000 laps around
this place with my IV pole.
The floor's slippery.
Come on, I can totally walk.
- Mm-mm.
- Look.
["Tutu (Remix)" by Camilo,

Okay. Vero. Nena…
- I can even dance.
- Okay, yes.
- [in Spanish] Slowly. Yes
- Slowly, slowly.
Careful. Okay, look at that.
[in English] There's a lot
going on there. [laughs]
[in Spanish] So, can I leave dancing?
Mom, dance with me.
[in English] Come on. Come on.
- Okay. Pero, down.
- Okay.
[Vero] Down, down. Yes, down.

Come on, feel it.
Hey! Okay, Mom.

[in Spanish] Okay, you can leave walking.
- [in English] Right? Special privileges.
- Yay.

to formally discharge you.
Then we'll go.
[Vero] Okay.
[song fades out]
Dr. Cruz.
You're stalking me.
I'm trying to talk to you,
but you're making it quite difficult.
Not difficult enough, apparently.
This is awkward for the both of us. Okay?
You don't want to give up the department.
- I'm not trying to take it away from you.
- Oh, really?
You're not actively trying
to campaign for the job?
Not to cut you out.
I wanna work with you.
In fact, I was coming to ask you
who you've chosen
for Chief Resident next year.
Well, when the board calls
to make it official, I will let you know.
There's one more thing.
Glenn Vogel and his family are in the ER.
Car crash. Danny Simms is treating him.
Just thought you should know,
considering what happened
a couple days ago.
[pensive music plays lightly]
Uh, bedside echo looks good.
- You have 60%.
- Okay.
- What's the update?
- It's not great.
We're working on the baby,
mother is pale and hypotensive.
Okay. Thanks.
[Glenn] What's going on? Are they okay?
They're… alive,
and we are doing everything that we can.
That's what the doctors
in Gainesville said to my dad
right before he died of a MRSA infection.
And we got a $170,000 hospital bill.
Wiped out everything they had.
I'm sorry.
Couldn't do anything for Benny
a couple days ago.
Why should I believe you now?
Are you saying Benny got worse
when he got home?
- Much worse.
- Dr. Simms literally begged you to stay.
We wouldn't be here now if you'd listened.
It's okay. We understand.
[somber music playing]
Maybe what you people did made him worse.
He stopped breathing so many times.
Kathryn was so scared.
I was trying to get him to my mom.
She's a midwife. She knows what to do.
So, that's why you were speeding.
It wasn't my fault.
Kathryn was screaming.
Benny had stopped breathing again.
Why couldn't you have helped him?
I'm…
I'm really sorry that this is happening
to you right now. I really am.
I promise you we are doing everything
that we possibly can to try and fix it.
Please don't tell me I killed them.
[somber music swells]
I'm gonna keep you updated. Okay?
- Elijah, you've got it from here, right?
- Yeah.
- [Gabe] She's bradying down.
- [Phillips] We're losing her.
- How can I help?
- We need to crack her chest.
- Isn't she blunt force trauma?
- Heart rate's dropping, in the 30s.
- Yeah, but she's young and healthy.
- I think it's the right call.
- Where do you want me?
- You intubate while I prep?
- Can I get an intubation tray?
- [Gabe] I'm on it.
[Phillips] All right.
[beeping]
Shit. We lost pulses.
Let's start compressions.
Let's get ready to open her up.
[female staff] Yes, doc. Prepping.
- [tense music playing]
- [staff speak indistinctly]
[music fades out]
Dr. Phillips,
this room was empty on the board.
Yes, Julio is actually
a longtime patient of mine.
He came in for a paracentesis.
So, you snuck in a non-emergent patient.
He's in a lot of pain. He can't get
into his GI clinic until next week.
All right, get it done. And get him out.
Great. Yes. Um, Donna…
would you mind grabbing me an ultrasound?
Might be a minute,
they're both being used.
[chuckling] Or, just an idea.
You do this extremely basic procedure
without an ultrasound.
I've never done one using only landmarks.
Sick people are waiting for this room.
Now, either you get it done,
or we discharge him.
Please, man, just do it.
I can't wait another week.
Yeah, let's get you better.
[soft music plays]
[dramatic music builds]
[Danny] She's intubated.
Gabe, I can swap in.

- [female staff] Rib spreaders.
Thank you.
All right, I'm in.
[Gabe] Holding compressions.
What do you see?
Want us to continue compressions?
Do you see the heart?
I need to cut through the pericardium.
Keep holding compressions.
- [Danny] Okay.
- [heartbeat thumping]
We'll be discharging room five
in, uh, 15 minutes.
[sighs deeply]
[Sandra] Help! Please, someone help us.
Please, we need help over here!
Hey, open the door.
- Sandra?
- [Sandra crying]
- What's going on?
- He's unconscious.
He was fine when we got home.
He just collapsed.
[Phillips] Julio! Julio, can you hear me?
Julio. Julio, can you hear me?
Come on, come on.
- I'll take care of him.
- Please, Dr. Phillips. Please.
It's gonna be okay. Let's wheel him out.
[dramatic music playing]
Let's get him into a trauma bay.
[man] On our way.
[steady dramatic tones build]
[Phillips] Okay.
Cutting through the pericardium.
[Gabe] Vitals aren't stabilizing.
[monitor beeping]
[Camila gasps]
Oh God. She ruptured her right ventricle.
Holy shit, can you fix that?
[Gabe] She's circling the drain, guys.
- Xander, we're losing her.
- Call up to cardiac surgery.
Tell them I'm plugging a ventricular tear
with my finger. I need help, now.
Okay. We need to move her up to the OR.
What about a Foley catheter
to plug the hole?
- Great idea.
- [Gabe] I'm on it.

[Phillips] Hang in there, Kathryn.

Still V-fib on the monitor. Charge 200.

- Camila, can you give us a minute?
- Oh, yeah.

So…
[exhales]
I had this patient named Julio.
He was 20.
One night he came in…
The ER was slammed,
and Dr. Broussard, she wanted me to hurry,
so I did, and…
I must have nicked a vessel.
I think about it
every time I walk into a trauma bay.
I think about it
every time I work on a patient.
[Danny] I'm sorry.
[exhales] But you know,
I think I could have lived with it.
Instead, my mom
covered the whole thing up.
So, when I transferred to Maguire,
people wondered why I left.
Which, I guess, is where
those rumors must have come from,
about the other women, and…
I couldn't tell you it wasn't true
because breaking an NDA could ruin me.
And my family.
[Danny] Hmm.
It's still my fault, though.
'Cause I let it happen.
And I'm ashamed.
My mom didn't want it
to ruin my career, but…
she also didn't want it to taint hers.
She put me in this inescapable box.
[quietly] God, I fucked up.
It wasn't your fault.
No.
I fucked up with you.
You were right, I shouldn't have pushed,
I shouldn't have…
I shouldn't put you in the position I did.
I should have just listened to you.
You know, to what you wanted,
they way you needed.
[sighs]
I'm really sorry, Danny.
I'm so sorry.
[chuckles softly, inhales]
Thank you for saying that.

I love you too.
You know, I keep thinking
about our Sunday dinners.
- [chuckles lightly]
- God, I'm gonna miss those.
[soft music playing gently]
Maybe I'll get fired.
No way my parents let you get fired.
Not after what I told you.
Maybe I'll get fired,
and you won't be my boss anymore.
And we can… start fresh.
See what happens.
You want that?
Sounds kind of nice.
[Danny chuckles softly]
[music fades out]
Hey, how's Mom?
Um, in surgery.
It's too soon to say.
- How's the baby?
- He'll be okay. Yeah.
Pyloric stenosis.
You were right.
- You should feel proud.
- Oh, I do.
Don't worry.
Hey. What do you think
they're doing in there?
[Elijah] The beat goes on.
[Harper] You know,
you should tell her how you feel.
It's not like that.
Danny and I are just friends.
I'm just saying, I see you.
[Harper chuckles lightly]
Chan. I heard you did
a thoracotomy with Phillips.
I assisted.
I just dropped her off in surgery.
I'm taking you off
the surgical service tomorrow.
You should have a new schedule soon.
Hey. What is your problem?
- My problem?
- Yeah.
Why is it that every time
I do something right,
you need to knock me down a peg
and make me feel bad about myself?
[sobering music plays]
You know,
never once have you lifted me up.
Never once have you encouraged me,
and you know what? People notice.
Do you know that Camila
would rather leave this hospital
than deal with your bullshit?
Like, we could actually lose her,
and all of her goodness
and optimism because, what?
You can't deal with your ego?
You done?
'Cause I actually agree with you.
I changed your schedule
so that we won't be on the same shifts.
Which I think you'll find
is for your own good.
[soft music playing]
- [Camila] Hey.
- [Chan] Hey.
Danny and Phillips want an update

Were you there when I came in?
Yeah, I was. It was my first day.
Do you like it here?

- That's what I do.
No, no, really. Um…
I really do. I love it here.

you weren't leaving us.
I hear you're petitioning
to go over to Miami South.
Natalie, leave her alone.

- [Elijah chuckles]
- [cheering continues]
[man] You did good!
[light chuckling]
- So happy for you.
- Thank you so much.
[indistinct chattering]
- Hi.
- My mom said you saved my life.
That…
Don't be modest.
Vero wouldn't be here without you.
I'm glad I could help.
[tearfully] Thank you.
[solemn music playing]
[Danny chuckles softly]
Ah!
See, the frustrating thing
is now I can't fire you.
But, I wasn't going to anyway.
Although when you're Chief next year,
remember how close you came.
It'll keep you grounded.
I…
Let's keep this between us for now.
It'll be announced tomorrow at the party.
[chuckling sigh]
Isn't…
Isn't this just gonna make everything
so much harder for you?
Not your concern.
Just focus on being a good doctor.
[chuckles softly]
I'm really happy for you.
It's awesome.
[gentle music playing]
[chuckles lightly]
[music fades]
Stay off it as much as possible.
Ice, and that'll be it when you get home.
- Okay? Now take it slow.
- [ringtone playing]
Sophie, you have an update?
What is it?
Are they okay?
So, your son has a condition
called pyloric stenosis.
It’s very treatable, and he’ll be fine.
I also just heard from the OR.
Kathryn just got out of surgery,
and she did very well.
[shuddering breath]
Everyone's very optimistic
about her recovery.
[gentle music playing]
[music fades]
[Chan] Uh…
Hey! Hey, Camila!
- I found your earring.
- God, are you serious?
- Yeah.
- Holy shit, thank you!
Um…
- Well, you said you liked it, so…
- No, it's more than that.
My grandma gave it to me
before she died, so…
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
- Happened last year.
- So, where'd you find it?
Uh… Oh, well…
First, I went to the spot that
you normally eat your breakfast.
I guess it's not really your breakfast,
but that blueberry muffin
you get from the coffee cart.
Um, I went to the table next to the tree.
Checked the floor, wasn't there.
So I talked to the janitor.
- And he didn't have it…
- The janitor?
Well, yeah. I, um…
I wanted to ask him to check his mop
to see if it was… tangled in there.
Anyway, uh… I found it
on the floor in the docbox.
Um…
Actually, can I see that
for a sec? Thanks.
Uh, so, I'm going to be
holding this hostage now because…
I don't want you to go.
[soft music playing]
This hospital
wouldn't be nearly as good without you.
And, um…
I really love… working with you,
and, uh, you make me…
laugh.
And you make me better.
So, I'm going to be holding onto this
until you agree.
So you'd really keep
my dead abuela's earring from me?
Yeah. 100%.
Well, I actually took back
my petition this afternoon.
I decided I'm going to stay,
so hand it over.
Oh God, you just let me
make that whole speech.
I loved your speech.
[man] Camila!
- [Camila] Oh my God!
- Hola, mi amor.
- Hi, baby.
- Hi. [kisses]
- Cómo estás? Thank you. Gracias.
- Hi, happy last day. These are for you.
[music fades out]
- Uh, hi!
- [man] Hi!
- I'm Sophie.
- Hi, I'm Rodrigo.
- Rodrigo, wow, nice to meet you.
- Yeah.
Um, I didn't, uh…
I didn't realize Camila had a boyfriend.
She doesn't.
- Hopefully. Right?
- [laughs] Stop.
- I'm her fiancé.
- [chuckling] Oh, wow!
That is great!
That is so amazing. Great.
Um, I didn't, uh, see… Uh, where's the…
Oh, right. Yeah. No, it was really recent,
so it's getting resized right now.
Cool. That's cool. Cool, cool.
Um… well, I… I gotta go. Home.
Um, so…
- It was a pleasure meeting you.
- Rodrigo.
- Yeah.
- Great.
- Anyway, I'll see you Monday?
- Yeah.
Well, thank you.
Have fun at the party tomorrow.
[elevator dings]
[light music playing]
Hey, Dr. Sanchez.
Dr. Phillips.
- Congratulations on making attending.
- Thank you.
I gotta say, I was a little surprised.
I think all the other attendings were too.
- Really?
- Come on.
Right, you're a charmed son of a bitch.
People have made allowances for you
just 'cause of who you are.
[exhales]
And you were a good Chief.
You gotta realize there's no safety net
when you become an attending.
Any mistake anyone
you're supervising makes,
from the dumbest med student to,
well, your new Chief Resident,
that all falls on you.
Hope you're ready for that.
You know, I… I get it.
You're not my biggest fan,
and I would have said I was excited
to work with you as colleagues,
but since we're being honest,
you were always
my least favorite attending.
I'll see you Monday, Patrick.
["Despechá" by Rosalía plays]
[Elijah] No, what I'm saying is,
like, you have disposable income.
[Danny] Like, attending money?
[Elijah] No. No, you really got funds.
Like, you're rich.
- [Danny] Uh…
- [Harper] Japan.
- [Elijah] That's what I'm talking about.
- Straight to Kyoto. Do not pass Go.
Do not collect 200 dollars. And…
I'm bringing 50 grand with me
for shopping.
Nice. Danny, what about you?
[Danny] Um…
Sicily.
I would go to a vineyard in Sicily.
And I would drink red wine,
and sit by the pool,
not think about my student debt,
which was miraculously gone
because of all of my amazing money.
[all laughing]
Danny Simms.
You wanted to know
who I chose as Chief Resident.
Okay. Thank you.
And we can have
a business-only lunch… that you pay for.
Great. Your pick.
Claro.
["Caramelo" by Cosmic Wacho plays]
[Phillips grunts]
- I don't want to talk about it.
- What?
You screaming at me in the ER
or the Nia situation?
Neither.
At least I know why you're being
a bigger dickhead than usual.
- Can I get you anything?
- Yeah, just a water, please.
So, uh, what happens now?
She wakes up,
her family could sue, and I'd be fired.
Or she dies,
her family could sue, and I'd be fired.
I'd also be devastated.
You really care about her.
I can't even admit that
without getting in trouble.
- Got you a new one.
- Oh, thank you.
You read my mind.
You are welcome… Chief.
Oh, you don't know that. That's…
I mean, it's going to be you.
And you deserve it. Honestly.
Just want you to know that.
Thank you.
So, Sicily, huh?
- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.
I mean, why not?
[Danny laughs]
- Where would you go?
- I don't know.
Sicily sounds pretty good.
[Cruz] Hello, everyone.
Buenas tardes.
So good to see you all here.
It's been a great year.
And you have all worked tirelessly.
And for that, I cannot thank you enough.
I need to announce that next year,
there will be a change.
The administration has made the decision
to split the ER and surgical departments.
Which means I will remain
chairman of surgery,
and the ER will be getting
a new interim chairperson.
It really has been the honor of my life
to grow this hospital into
the trauma center it is today.
But there comes a time to pass the baton.
And I'm very pleased
to pass on the leadership of ER
to one of our own,
Senior ER Attending Patrick Sanchez.
[scattered chattering]
[light music playing]
[Sanchez] Thank you, Dr. Cruz.
I am truly honored
and humbled to take over this ER,
one which you have built
into such an incredible institution.
As most of you know,
I like to keep things simple,
and I don't like public speaking,
but there is one outstanding matter
on which I need to speak to you today.
And that is the appointment…
of our new Chief Resident
for the following year.
Now, in consultation with Dr. Cruz
and the board, I have decided to choose…
Dr. Samuel Elijah.
[group clapping and chattering]
[woman] Sam!
[pensive music playing]
- [Danny] Congratulations.
- Thank you.
- [man] Elijah…
- Hey.
Hey… Yeah, man.
[woman] Happy for you.
- Good work, baby.
- Thanks, boo. Thank you.
[woman] You're gonna do great.
[Elijah] Thanks. Wow.
[music fades out]
["Decent Driver" by M.I.L.K plays]
Hey.
Danny, I'm so sorry.
I didn't know he was gonna do that.
You don't have anything to be sorry for.
[Cruz sighs]
This is the price
you paid for me, isn't it?
Sanchez taking the ER?
It's not on you.
I was taught you take the hits.
You don't complain.
My mistake was thinking
that would stop the hits from coming.
They never stop coming.
You need to work on your pep talk.
[both laughing]
- [Cruz sighs] Ah…
- [Danny chuckles]
I'll be fine.
And you'll be fine too.
You impressed a lot of people
as Chief, Danny, not just me.
So don't underestimate yourself.
Because in the last couple of weeks,
you put yourself on the map.
Is that a better pep talk?
[both chuckle lightly]
I just cannot believe it.
- Of all the people they could have chosen.
- Hang on. There he is.
[Phillips] Hey, Patrick.
Congratulations.
Thank you so much, Dr. Phillips.
And also, um, there are
a lot of attendings I like less than you.
- [Cole snickers]
- [Sanchez chuckles]
See you Monday, Xander.
- I'm so screwed.
- Oh, completely, yeah.
Did it hurt when he did that?
Looked like it hurt.
- [upbeat dance song ends]
- [birds calling]
Hey.
[Danny] Hey.
I'm really… I'm really sorry about Chief.
I'm glad Elijah got it.
Well, I'm glad
you're not going anywhere. [chuckles]
Me too.
- I really--
- Hey, I just…
- You go.
- No, you… You.
It meant a lot, what you said yesterday.
And I'm gonna miss our Sunday dinners too.
And I want you to know that I'm not gonna…
I'm not gonna tell anybody about Kennedy.
Well, it doesn't really matter.
I went to the hospital review board
this afternoon.
Told them everything.
- What?
- Yeah.
You could get sued.
You could lose your license.
- What about your parents?
- I don't give a shit.
It was the right thing to do.
So I did it.
This, uh, girl I really like
said that one time.
I'm trying to be a bit more like her.
