Watson (2024) s01e11 Episode Script
The Dark Day Deduction
1
Previously on Watson
You should all pair off and make
little mini pharmaceutical reps.
THE REP: Our mutual
employer has a task for you.
Professor Moriarty would like
similar specimens from each
of the fellows at the clinic.
So, you're collecting DNA.
The fellows' DNA in
the hands of Moriarty
can be used for only one thing:
to take them off the field of play.
Fake samples it is, then.
How do you imagine this ends?
Moriarty finishes a plan and then
- promptly cleans house.
- Shinwell, stay useful.
(HELICOPTER WHOOSHES PAST)
MAN: Bravo Zero Four Command.
(CONTINUING INDISTINCTLY)
Doc, it's time to go.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Colonel wanted us back
at the rally point in ten.
It's been fifteen.
- MAN (OVER P.A.): Copy. Recon, intercept.
- Doc!
(ECHOING): Recon, intercept.
I'm talking now, Doc!
(P.A. BEEPS) WOMAN: Paging Dr. Chandler.
Dr. Chandler to the nurses' desk.
(WOMAN'S VOICE SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)
MAN: frequency, go ahead.
I see movement on the hill.
MAN (ECHOING): 247, Lima, four, Gamma.
WOMAN: Patient Anderson
to Guest Services.
Doc!
- Doc!
- Dean.
Dean.
You're not in Logar.
Listen to me. Listen to
me, baby. You're home.
- You're home. You're in the hospital.
- Move.
- Move!
- Listen.
Dean. Dean.
- Dean.
- Hey, hey, hey!
Mr. Kett. Mr. Kett.
- Mr. Kett.
- His episodes are usually 20 minutes.
It's been about six hours.
I'm sure the doctors
will figure it out, ma'am.
Right now, I think I
need to call security,
for your husband's safety.
No, sir, he doesn't need
to see another psychiatrist.
He needs John Watson.
- Well, he isn't Dr. Watson's patient.
- He should be.
Please. It's long overdue.
- I'm not looking.
- I'm not thinking about looking.
What if the world
needs you, John Watson?
Well, the world's
just gonna have to wait
until I talk about my day.
I hear a lot of bragging
about your willpower.
I don't hear much about a day.
Okay, well, my day was good.
I had three hours of research.
I had two patients. Wait.
I think "good" is the wrong word.
- It was saintly. (CHUCKLES)
- (CHUCKLES)
I'm glad we're doing this again.
Me too.
(PHONE CHIMES, VIBRATES)
(SCOFFS) You have two
phones? That's new.
Well, that one is for the
world. This one is for people
who actually know what
a real emergency is.
Dean Kett is at UHOP.
(VOCALIZING QUIETLY)
(PEPPY MUSIC PLAYING)
ASSISTANT: Mr. Croft,
are you still there?
Yup. Yup. Yup. Still here.
We are excited to have
you on Swasthya Yatra.
I am excited to talk about my book.
Ms. Patel is still preparing,
but the podcast should begin shortly.
No problem. I will be here.
(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)
Why?
You're allowed to say that, I see.
You gave us fake DNA samples.
He's unhappy.
- I said he's unhappy.
- Unhappy with me
or unhappy with you?
Here to get the DNA myself.
What's gonna happen to
her after you've gone?
Ashleigh?
Where did you learn that name?
She's unwell as it is.
It's you that takes care of her.
Takes good care. I've seen it.
There is a human being
in there after all.
With a name of your very own, I wager.
Listen, you're in the middle of a river
with a scorpion on your back like
like there ain't a reason it's a fable.
Get out.
Protect your daughter.
I will help you.
I don't want to hear that name again.
Or what?
You done much killing, have you?
(LOCK CLICKS)
And, of course, anything happens
to Willian and Nancy Evans,
you can stop worrying about Moriarty.
'Cause it'll be me that kills you.
Who's to say you'll be
around to do anything?
'Cause we're in the
valley of fear, dear.
This is where I thrive.
(ADAM VOCALIZING)
Oh. Uh, hi.
Um
(AMERICAN ACCENT): Oh. Uh (LAUGHS)
Oh.
Looks like we're busted.
(LAUGHS) Can you just, um,
can you just keep this between us?
It's it's against
my company policy, so
Oh.
Yeah, it's true. Uh, Shelly and I,
we've been lovers for
- It's been a while now, innit?
- Yeah, absolutely.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Lovers?
That-that's great. That's
that's so great. Um
ASSISTANT: We're ready
for you, Mr. Croft.
We'll-we'll get out of your way.
Oi, oi. Mum's the word, yeah?
Yeah.
(CHUCKLES)
He didn't hear anything.
I'll monitor the situation,
which isn't even a situation.
(BRITISH ACCENT):
I'm not worried, my love.
Ta-ta for now.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Dean Kett's in this room?
- He's having some kind of delusion.
- (DEAN SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY)
Pushed half the furniture
against the door.
Dean needs help, not
a fight, Dr. Watson.
DEAN: Secure the perimeter!
Yes, I understand,
Hazel. Okay, all right, we're gonna
push our way in, but we're
gonna be gentle with him.
Understand?
- All right, follow my lead. On three.
- (DEAN CONTINUES SHOUTING)
One, two, three.
Contact! Contact. Take
a position in the cage.
WATSON: Dean. It's me.
It's John Watson, Dean.
You're-you're safe.
Okay? You're in a hospital.
You're-you're not in the field.
You.
You're safe.
The devil.
Aah! (GRUNTING)
- All right, easy.
- Stand down!
N-No. Stand down!
- You're jeopardizing the mission!
- Be easy with him! Be easy.
DEAN: Did you-did you see him? He's
he's the devil.
He's-he's-he's
(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)
What the hell is this?
Halt!
Don't move! I'm authorized to fire.
Hold up.
- Trade.
- It's just a kid from the village, Sergeant.
Yeah.
This is too jacked.
I'm getting our butts
out of here, all right?
Doc? Pulling us out.
I will drag you out
of here if I have to.
I need another minute, Sergeant.
MARY: I pictured him differently.
WATSON: He was different.
Before I did all this.
- John
- No, no. It's absolutely true.
Dean's leg, those delusions.
Everything you just saw.
I'm responsible for it all.
♪
DEAN: Doc, I will drag you
out of here if I have to.
- I need another minute, Sergeant.
- Now, Major.
No, you don't understand. Listen.
They asked me to take a
look at her. They had no idea
- she has a rare genetic disorder. Look at that.
- We do not have time.
No, you don't understand.
If I can study this patient,
I could save hundreds of
thousands of lives. Millions.
You don't understand, Major.
We're going back to base right now.
Understood, Sergeant.
Tell him we're taking
her back to the base.
Yes, sir.
Let's get this show on the road.
(TRANSLATOR SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
Gonna be okay. We're just
gonna take her back to base.
We're just gonna get there safely,
and we're gonna handle this.
♪
Hey. We're Oscar Mike.
Wrap it up, Verney.
VERNEY: IED! Everybody move!
Clear out! Take cove
WATSON: Two soldiers died.
The patient's husband did, too.
Dean Kett caught shrapnel in his leg.
I put a tourniquet around
it, saved his life, but
it's a miracle that we survived.
I
didn't even know you were in the Army.
How do you think I
paid for medical school?
I am sincerely sorry
that happened to you.
With respect, I'm also
not sure how to help.
Do you want us to brainstorm
new treatments for PTSD?
It's PTS.
It's an injury, not a disorder.
WATSON: Well, it's not PTS or PTSD.
Well, not entirely, anyway.
I think Dean has something else.
Uh, do you actually believe that?
Or do you just want to believe
it so you could help him?
Ingrid, when people
say you have no filter,
I want you to remember this moment.
WATSON: Dean's never had delusions
this prolonged before.
If it was just his PTS,
then we wouldn't expect
it to worsen like this.
After Dean was sedated,
I saw evidence of a sore
at his amputation site,
possibly from an infection
or pressure from a
poorly fitting prosthesis.
His wife Hazel started him on
oral antibiotics three days ago.
Do you think it could be
substance-induced psychosis?
What about delirium secondary
to underlying sepsis?
I mean, that infection could
have spread to his bloodstream.
He's also not currently
being treated for MRSA.
We could consider broadening
his antibiotic coverage.
Thank you for setting your doubts aside
and jumping in the pond. But yes,
I agree the second step
is to change Dean's antibiotics.
If that's the second
step, what comes first?
First, I have to convince
Dean to let me treat him.
Uh, what was wrong with the woman?
The-the woman you
treated in Afghanistan.
I'm fairly certain she had a
genetic disorder called FCS.
So rare it's the only
case I've ever seen.
Wait, you met someone with
familial chylomicronemia syndrome?
WATSON: I was surprised as you are.
What I could have learned
if I'd studied that woman.
There would have been implications
for preventing heart disease, strokes.
Would have been a game changer.
You didn't want to go
back and see her after?
I tried, but her family
spread out after the attack.
Her first name was Ramiza.
Whatever else I could have
learned from studying her
it's all just a casualty now.
(HELICOPTER WHOOSHING PAST)
(P.A. BEEPS)
(INDISTINCT ANNOUNCEMENT OVER P.A.)
(GRUNTS SOFTLY)
Dean.
You're at the University
Hospital of Pittsburgh.
Your wife's downstairs
getting food, so
I'm staying here with you.
I'd like to take care of you, Dean.
I've already prescribed you a
new course of antibiotics, and
I'd like to keep going, if you let me.
I'd like for you to leave
and never come back.
Major Watson.
You recognize me. That's
a good thing, Dean.
Dean, I
I spent more than a decade
just trying to figure out
the right thing to say to you.
I've called you and reached
out so many times, it's
I understand and accept that
you didn't want to hear from me.
I get it.
What happened that day
- what I did
- Stop.
I'm sorry for it, Dean.
Stop!
If you're still talking
about what happened,
then you still don't get it.
What else am I supposed to talk about?
I'm only trying to help.
Help?
I would never let you help me.
No, that-that would be a gift.
A present that you could just open up
and forget about what happened.
But I didn't get that option.
Verney didn't get that option.
(GRUNTS)
Dean, you have an infection
in your residual limb.
Those new antibiotics should help,
but I still need to examine you.
It's not-it's not my leg.
It's my it's my stomach.
Okay, can you describe the
pain for me? Does it radiate?
I'm not telling you
anything else, Major.
I think it's time for you to leave now.
You know, there are a lot
of excellent doctors here.
Some don't think much
more of me than you do.
At least let me refer
one of them to you.
- But I don't hate you.
- WATSON: You don't have to hate me.
You just have to pretend to hate me
to treat the patient.
Who's actually your patient.
Who's actually our patient.
Except Dean Kett wants a new doctor.
Which is you.
Your patient is complaining
about abdominal pain.
Could be related to gastroenteritis,
so let's send some labs
and order some imaging
so we can rule out the surgical causes.
He needs help, so I'll help him.
But for the record, I'm not sure
ignoring Dean Kett
again is the way to go.
Come on.
♪
(AMERICAN ACCENT): Doesn't
this seem like the kind of place
that should have a bathroom attendant?
(CHUCKLES) Totally. You get to
tip someone for washing your own hands.
(LAUGHS)
- (PHONE VIBRATES)
- Oh.
- (TYPING)
- (PHONE CHIMES)
I get tip anxiety whenever
♪
(ENGINE STARTS)
- (GRUNTS)
- SASHA: Your abdomen sensitive to touch?
HAZEL: On and off.
We thought he had a
stomach bug last week.
Yeah, but the pain's not, uh, too bad.
They can give me an
ultrasound at the VA, so
Let's just see what
they can do here, Dean.
It's not like Dr.
Lubbock is with Watson.
Watson? Definitely not.
He just hides in his ivory tower,
hardly ever leaves that clinic
unless something's in it for him.
(DEAN CHUCKLES)
Y'all seen the kinds
of shirts that he wears?
I mean, how deep does that V need to be?
(CHUCKLES, GRUNTS)
It's all right, Dean.
We'll figure it out.
All right?
♪
(GRUNTS SOFTLY)
- (HELICOPTER WHOOSHING PAST)
- Dean?
Dean?
Y-You okay, honey?
Hmm?
I'll drag you out if I have to.
No, no, no. Dean?
Dean? Dean? Stop, you're home.
It's all right, you're in
the hospital, it's all right.
No, you don't understand.
(GRUNTS)
We're going back to the base right now!
(GROANS)
We're Oscar Mike.
Wrap it up!
Go.
- (ALARM BEEPING)
- Oh. Oh
Oh
He went that way.
I don't think he knows where he is.
Okay, I'll take care of it.
Dean Kett is missing. Call a Code Green.
I'll cover the elevator.
Dean Kett. He has one
leg, he's delusional,
he's suffering from an unknown ailment
that's compromising his digestion.
He's still a combat vet
with two tours overseas
and countless trips outside the wire.
If he doesn't want us to find him,
Dean is not gonna be easy to find.
I had security on a Code
Green within a minute
of losing sight of him.
Nobody's seen him since.
Well, we can't assume
that he's still at UHOP.
What'd you learn from his wife?
Um, before he woke up, Hazel said that
he's been going to the gym a lot.
But he never gave her the name, though.
Now, Hazel will let you and
Dr. Derian into his house.
I want doctors there to post
up in case he comes back.
See what you can learn
while you're waiting.
Lurk and snoop. Copy.
Filter.
Shinwell and Crofts,
here are the names of everyone
I can remember at FOB Shank.
I want you making some calls.
What is FOB Shank?
Forward Operating Base Shank.
Also known as Rocket City.
Spent less than two weeks there
and I'm still having
nightmares about it.
Call every name on that list.
One of them may lead you
to where Dean is headed.
Understood, guv.
And what are you going
to do, Dr. Watson?
I'm gonna help security
with the Code Green.
Check on some places they may
not have thought to have looked.
I'll go with you.
It's a missing patient in my hospital.
It's Dean Kett.
INGRID: Been awfully quiet lately.
What? I'm totally normal.
Oh, no, there has been a distinct lack
of diarrhea of the mouth
and intrusive questioning.
You got weird. It's okay.
I did not get weird. I have no idea
what you're talking about.
You think I told you
something last week.
About my dad.
I think? You told me what you did.
You trying to walk back on it?
I have no argument with any
interpretation of my words.
My interpretation is that
you killed your father.
I mean, you had your reasons.
But that's where I landed.
Not confirming. Not arguing.
What's with the lack
of follow-up, though?
I have no idea how to follow up on that.
Well, here's your chance. Any questions?
Are we just never gonna talk again?
No. I can handle it.
Just bear with me, okay? (SIGHS)
You know, I guess I've been wondering.
Are you okay with it?
Does it keep you up?
Yes.
And no.
Oh, I see what's happening.
You lost your edge and
you're trying to get it back.
- What?
- You were vulnerable
and you're not used to
it and now you're trying
to reclaim your power.
Well, I hereby grant it to you.
That's stupid.
What is that?
Oh, look who doesn't
want to talk about it now.
I'm serious.
(GASPS SOFTLY)
Look at this.
This trunk is full of Army stuff.
Everything's old except for this folder.
Huh.
Looks like he's been
tracking his workouts.
Okay.
But why would he want to hide it?
You looked in there already, John.
I know. The security camera
caught Dean doubling back at one point.
Thought he might have hid in there.
We've been at it for hours.
Let's just take five minutes,
clear away some clutter,
so an idea can jump in.
(SIGHS)
So, how was your day?
(CHUCKLES)
Honestly?
Not good. You?
I'll be honest, too.
This still beats meetings.
You know why I really came to help?
I feel guilty.
About what?
I told you I pictured Dean differently.
Truth is, I never
thought about who he was,
I just heard the words
and thought about the end.
The end.
You and me. It started that day.
You came back home and
something was broken inside you.
You were quieter.
Lost.
I couldn't reach you.
I tried. I wanted to help you.
But you didn't need me.
What you needed was in London.
You needed to find Sherlock Holmes.
Never thought of it like that.
Thank you.
For not denying it.
(SIGHS)
You don't have to get on your knees
No, no, not apologizing.
Looking at the footprints.
If you catch it just
right in the light
This floor was waxed,
what, about an hour ago?
You can just make out
the footprints of a
man with a prosthetic.
I see them.
Dean's been dragging his left foot.
Something's wrong with his good leg.
(DOOR OPENS)
WOMAN: Ma'am?
I'm a volunteer with the hospital.
Does your daughter need anything?
No, we're quite all right, thank you.
That's for you.
Didn't expect to have this back so soon.
He says no mistakes this time.
(DOOR OPENS)
MARY: Oh, damn it.
Oh, sorry, Murray.
Good job.
(PHONE VIBRATES)
Hello?
Don't do anything yet. We'll
we'll be right there.
- What is it?
- There's a patient
waiting for a heart transplant.
The organ flew in from Columbus,
but the chopper can't land.
There's somebody
standing on the helipad.
Lower your hoist and
initiate extraction!
Initiate extraction!
Dean! Back up!
Back up!
That helicopter has a
heart for a transplant.
You got to come inside.
Stay back.
Listen, Dean, listen to me.
You're not in Logar anymore.
You're home, Dean.
What's wrong with your leg?
Whoa, whoa.
(GRUNTING)
Major?
Let go of me.
All right, listen to me. Listen to me.
Let me say something to you.
Let me say something first.
It wasn't about what I did that day.
It was never about what I
did. It was about who I was.
I was a doctor over there, Dean.
I used the Army to
pay for medical school,
but it didn't make me a soldier.
I was a doctor. I was always a doctor.
That's why I thought about that woman
before I thought about you.
And that's why Verney
and-and Robinson
that's why they're dead.
And that's why you lost your leg.
But it's also why you need me now.
Listen to me.
I'm sorry, Dean. I'm so sorry.
I can never make that up to you.
But I can take care of you.
I can't I can't feel my leg, Major.
What's happening to me?
(GRUNTS) I got you.
We're gonna figure it out.
But I got you, Sergeant.
Okay? I got you.
You really tore yourself up.
We'll keep the prosthetic off for now.
No more battling helicopters.
All right, Dean, can you
raise your leg for me?
Uh, yeah.
I I-I can't.
Why-why is this happening?
Something's affecting your motor nerves.
The signal to move is not making
its way to your leg muscles.
- Your arm strength still okay?
- Still?
- He could lose that too?
- Not if we figure out
what's wrong with him and treat it.
- Get me an LP kit.
- Yeah.
Be right back, Dr. Watson.
DEAN: Um, so, this-this thing
might be creeping up my body?
I-I might be paralyzed?
WATSON: Ascending paralysis is
a symptom of something else.
And what about his lungs? I mean,
he needs muscles to-to breathe.
Listen, I understand you're both scared,
but you need to focus on
what's happening right now.
Dean had a stomach bug
before all of this started.
A gastro infection combined
with the ascending paralysis
is concerning for
Guillain-Barré syndrome.
It's a rare disorder that
causes the body's immune system
to attack the peripheral nerves.
Now, it's treatable, but we
need to do a lumbar puncture
first to confirm the diagnosis.
How much time do I have
before I can't breathe anymore?
Here and now, Dean.
Here and now.
Understood, Doc. Lock and load.
All right.
(LAUGHS)
Love knows no boundaries.
Oh, my love.
You saved me.
I need those notes for
my interviews tonight.
Mm. Well, I almost threw them away,
but I'm not out to
sabotage your success.
Not yet. Ghost me
another week, we'll see.
STEPHENS: Lauren.
Hi.
You should keep an eye on your brother.
I think he might be losing his memory.
Hey, you lost your makeup bag.
Actually, I checked my
purse again this morning,
- and it was there the whole time.
- Hey.
So the only thing I'm still
missing is my boyfriend.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Hey.
Nice glasses. It's a good change.
(GROANS SOFTLY)
- All those canceled dates caught up to you?
- Yeah.
I'm just gonna stop making plans.
Then I won't have to cancel them.
- That's an ingenious solution.
- Right, you get it.
I'm in a window. Work
has to be the priority.
I was in a window, too.
That's how I lost Lauren.
SASHA: Learn anything?
Not enough.
Where have you two been?
INGRID: You have got to
check your text messages.
We hit up both the regular
phone and the bat phone.
I've been in the zone. What's up?
We went to six gyms in
Bloomfield this morning.
- As all highly-trained doctors do.
- Filter.
Turns out that Dean has been working
at a place called Ruck Rampage.
- Neither a video game nor a gay bar.
- Filter.
You keep saying "filter."
I'm training Ingrid to be a house dog.
We spoke to one of the
trainers at the gym.
Turns out, the reason why he's
been hiding his workout records
is because he's trying to
pass the Army fitness test.
- He wants to reenlist?
- INGRID: Apparently so.
And given his situation,
I don't know, seems
like a fool's errand?
That was with the filter.
Amputees are eligible for some duties,
but Dean's been home for 13 years now.
INGRID: Yeah, we're
not sure that matters.
But we know how much
this patient means to you.
INGRID: If you look at me like that
every time I say something nice,
I will never do it again.
- Understand?
- Mm-hmm.
SHINWELL: Guv?
Dean Kett wants to see you.
DEAN: I could always feel it
when a mission went bad, Doc.
(BREATHES SHAKILY)
It's part of what kept
me alive out there.
No, we're not quite there yet.
Your lumbar puncture is
borderline for Guillain-Barré.
- I want to keep looking.
- Yeah, no one's quitting on you, Doc.
Keep right on doing your thing.
(BREATHING SHALLOWLY):
Just there's something
I-I need to say.
Just in case.
I don't like the way
your breathing sounds.
Get him on some oxygen.
That day in Logar.
The bomb.
It didn't need to go off.
I know, Dean. I'm sorry.
Yeah, I'm not not talking about you.
(RAPID BEEPING)
Call the rapid response
team. We may need to intubate.
I mean me.
I could have stopped the attack.
I, I should have stopped the attack.
Listen, I need you to
save your breath, okay?
I need you, I need you,
I need you to listen.
This could be the
last thing that I
I ever say.
Please, just, just listen.
Okay.
I saw the bomber.
I should have fired.
Halt!
If you tell someone to halt Halt!
and they don't, you fire.
But I knew him.
I knew the kid.
Izar.
Izar. (CRIES SOFTLY)
My orders were to protect you.
And I couldn't do it, I
I couldn't do the job.
And I blamed you.
(SHALLOW BREATHING)
- (ALARM SOUNDING)
- I I blamed you.
Sergeant, stay with me,
Sergeant, okay? Stay with me.
Patient is in respiratory distress.
- We need to intubate.
- Getting oxygen prepped.
I blamed you
when I was the coward
that couldn't pull the trigger.
It wasn't your fault, Dean.
All right, lock it. Prep the mask.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
(RAPID BEEPING)
(MONITOR BEEPING STEADILY)
(SIGHS)
John.
We're not in med school anymore.
All-nighters take a bite.
Yeah, you know, I was just, um
I was just watching
Dean and thinking.
And it just kind of happened.
I'll take a shift.
Get some food. Change your clothes.
- I got this shift.
- I know you do.
I'm not ready to move yet.
Yeah. You know, um, for the record
I didn't need Sherlock and not you.
I needed you both.
I was aimless when I came back.
He helped me with that.
But I needed you to
teach me to stop putting myself first.
Do you ever think about
what things would have
been like if I never left?
(SIGHS)
Sometimes.
Port wine.
John, does Dean have blood in his urine?
It's not blood. Not exactly.
I don't think Dean just got sick.
If I'm looking at what
I think I'm looking at,
Dean has had this his whole life.
You're here. Um
We were supposed to

WATSON: Faint body odor,
bloodshot eyes,
and a whiteboard full
of your best ideas.
Diagnosis: an all-nighter.
We had a breakthrough around 4:00 a.m.
It is not a breakthrough
if the idea sucks.
WATSON: Filter.
Didn't ask you to, but
you stayed all night.
I hired well. Thank you.
INGRID: You seem peppy.
What gives?
WATSON: I'm proud of you all.
You even have the answer
buried under some
truly disturbing ramblings.
Call around.
We need lots and lots of hemin.
INGRID: Porphyria.
(SCOFFS)
So basically, I could have
just slept in my own bed?
Porphyria. It's a disorder
where the body can't
produce enough heme.
It's a crucial component
to the red blood cell.
It's tricky to diagnose because
it lies dormant until
something triggers an attack.
Now, Dean's been on an intense
exercise regimen lately.
That could have
triggered the stomachaches
and the prolonged delusions.
And you're just gonna
give him an IV, and
he's gonna get better?
I'm starting him on hemin
because his body can't
make any right now.
Will he be okay? I
mean, will he be Dean?
We'll have to wait and see.

The patient's husband did, too.
Dean Kett caught shrapnel in his leg.
I put a tourniquet around
it, saved his life, but
it's a miracle that we survived.
I
didn't even know you were in the Army.
How do you think I
paid for medical school?
I am sincerely sorry
that happened to you.
With respect, I'm also
not sure how to help.
Do you want us to brainstorm
new treatments for PTSD?
It's PTS.
It's an injury, not a disorder.
WATSON: Well, it's not PTS or PTSD.
Well, not entirely, anyway.
I think Dean has something else.
Uh, do you actually believe that?
Or do you just want to believe
it so you could help him?
Ingrid, when people
say you have no filter,
I want you to remember this moment.
WATSON: Dean's never had delusions
this prolonged before.
If it was just his PTS,
then we wouldn't expect
it to worsen like this.
After Dean was sedated,
I saw evidence of a sore
at his amputation site,
possibly from an infection
or pressure from a
poorly fitting prosthesis.
His wife Hazel started him on
oral antibiotics three days ago.
Do you think it could be
substance-induced psychosis?
What about delirium secondary
to underlying sepsis?
I mean, that infection could
have spread to his bloodstream.
He's also not currently
being treated for MRSA.
We could consider broadening
his antibiotic coverage.
Thank you for setting your doubts aside
and jumping in the pond. But yes,
I agree the second step
is to change Dean's antibiotics.
If that's the second
step, what comes first?
First, I have to convince
Dean to let me treat him.
Uh, what was wrong with the woman?
The-the woman you
treated in Afghanistan.
I'm fairly certain she had a
genetic disorder called FCS.
So rare it's the only
case I've ever seen.
Wait, you met someone with
familial chylomicronemia syndrome?
WATSON: I was surprised as you are.
What I could have learned
if I'd studied that woman.
There would have been implications
for preventing heart disease, strokes.
Would have been a game changer.
You didn't want to go
back and see her after?
I tried, but her family
spread out after the attack.
Her first name was Ramiza.
Whatever else I could have
learned from studying her

What else am I supposed to talk about?
I'm only trying to help.
Help?
I would never let you help me.
No, that-that would be a gift.
A present that you could just open up
and forget about what happened.
But I didn't get that option.
Verney didn't get that option.

Dean, you have an infection
in your residual limb.
Those new antibiotics should help,
but I still need to examine you.
It's not-it's not my leg.
It's my it's my stomach.
Okay, can you describe the
pain for me? Does it radiate?
I'm not telling you
anything else, Major.
I think it's time for you to leave now.
You know, there are a lot

Some don't think much
more of me than you do.
At least let me refer
one of them to you.

You just have to pretend to hate me

Who's actually your patient.
Who's actually our patient.
Except Dean Kett wants a new doctor.
Which is you.
Your patient is complaining
about abdominal pain.
Could be related to gastroenteritis,
so let's send some labs

ignoring Dean Kett

Listen, I understand you're both scared,

A gastro infection combined
with the ascending paralysis

causes the body's immune system
to attack the peripheral nerves.
Now, it's treatable, but we
need to do a lumbar puncture
first to confirm the diagnosis.
How much time do I have
before I can't breathe anymore?
Here and now, Dean.
Here and now.
Understood, Doc. Lock and load.
All right.
(LAUGHS)
Love knows no boundaries.
Oh, my love.
You saved me.
I need those notes for
my interviews tonight.
Mm. Well, I almost threw them away,
but I'm not out to
sabotage your success.
Not yet. Ghost me
another week, we'll see.
STEPHENS: Lauren.
Hi.
You should keep an eye on your brother.
I think he might be losing his memory.
Hey, you lost your makeup bag.
Actually, I checked my
purse again this morning,
- and it was there the whole time.
- Hey.
So the only thing I'm still
missing is my boyfriend.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Hey.
Nice glasses. It's a good change.
(GROANS SOFTLY)
- All those canceled dates caught up to you?
- Yeah.
I'm just gonna stop making plans.
Then I won't have to cancel them.
- That's an ingenious solution.
- Right, you get it.
I'm in a window. Work
has to be the priority.
I was in a window, too.
That's how I lost Lauren.
SASHA: Learn anything?
Not enough.
Where have you two been?
INGRID: You have got to
check your text messages.
We hit up both the regular
phone and the bat phone.
I've been in the zone. What's up?
We went to six gyms in
Bloomfield this morning.
- As all highly-trained doctors do.
- Filter.
Turns out that Dean has been working
at a place called Ruck Rampage.
- Neither a video game nor a gay bar.
- Filter.
You keep saying "filter."
I'm training Ingrid to be a house dog.
We spoke to one of the
trainers at the gym.
Turns out, the reason why he's
been hiding his workout records
is because he's trying to
pass the Army fitness test.
- He wants to reenlist?
- INGRID: Apparently so.
And given his situation,
I don't know, seems
like a fool's errand?
That was with the filter.
Amputees are eligible for some duties,
but Dean's been home for 13 years now.
INGRID: Yeah, we're
not sure that matters.
But we know how much
this patient means to you.
INGRID: If you look at me like that
every time I say something nice,
I will never do it again.
- Understand?
- Mm-hmm.
SHINWELL: Guv?
Dean Kett wants to see you.
DEAN: I could always feel it
when a mission went bad, Doc.
(BREATHES SHAKILY)
It's part of what kept
me alive out there.
No, we're not quite there yet.
Your lumbar puncture is
borderline for Guillain-Barré.
- I want to keep looking.
- Yeah, no one's quitting on you, Doc.
Keep right on doing your thing.
(BREATHING SHALLOWLY):
Just there's something
I-I need to say.
Just in case.
I don't like the way
your breathing sounds.
Get him on some oxygen.
That day in Logar.
The bomb.
It didn't need to go off.
I know, Dean. I'm sorry.
Yeah, I'm not not talking about you.
(RAPID BEEPING)
Call the rapid response
team. We may need to intubate.
I mean me.
I could have stopped the attack.
I, I should have stopped the attack.
Listen, I need you to
save your breath, okay?
I need you, I need you,
I need you to listen.
This could be the
last thing that I
I ever say.
Please, just, just listen.
Okay.
I saw the bomber.
I should have fired.
Halt!
If you tell someone to halt Halt!
and they don't, you fire.
But I knew him.
I knew the kid.
Izar.
Izar. (CRIES SOFTLY)
My orders were to protect you.
And I couldn't do it, I
I couldn't do the job.
And I blamed you.
(SHALLOW BREATHING)
- (ALARM SOUNDING)
- I I blamed you.
Sergeant, stay with me,
Sergeant, okay? Stay with me.
Patient is in respiratory distress.
- We need to intubate.
- Getting oxygen prepped.
I blamed you
when I was the coward
that couldn't pull the trigger.
It wasn't your fault, Dean.
All right, lock it. Prep the mask.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
(RAPID BEEPING)
(MONITOR BEEPING STEADILY)
(SIGHS)
John.
We're not in med school anymore.
All-nighters take a bite.
Yeah, you know, I was just, um
I was just watching
Dean and thinking.
And it just kind of happened.
I'll take a shift.
Get some food. Change your clothes.
- I got this shift.
- I know you do.
I'm not ready to move yet.
Yeah. You know, um, for the record
I didn't need Sherlock and not you.
I needed you both.
I was aimless when I came back.
He helped me with that.
But I needed you to
teach me to stop putting myself first.
Do you ever think about
what things would have
been like if I never left?
(SIGHS)
Sometimes.
Port wine.
John, does Dean have blood in his urine?
It's not blood. Not exactly.
I don't think Dean just got sick.
If I'm looking at what
I think I'm looking at,
Dean has had this his whole life.
You're here. Um
We were supposed to
have this fixed by now.
WATSON: Faint body odor,
bloodshot eyes,
and a whiteboard full
of your best ideas.
Diagnosis: an all-nighter.
We had a breakthrough around 4:00 a.m.
It is not a breakthrough
if the idea sucks.
WATSON: Filter.
Didn't ask you to, but
you stayed all night.
I hired well. Thank you.
INGRID: You seem peppy.
What gives?
WATSON: I'm proud of you all.
You even have the answer
buried under some
truly disturbing ramblings.
Call around.
We need lots and lots of hemin.
INGRID: Porphyria.
(SCOFFS)
So basically, I could have
just slept in my own bed?
Porphyria. It's a disorder
where the body can't
produce enough heme.
It's a crucial component
to the red blood cell.
It's tricky to diagnose because
it lies dormant until
something triggers an attack.
Now, Dean's been on an intense
exercise regimen lately.
That could have
triggered the stomachaches
and the prolonged delusions.
And you're just gonna
give him an IV, and
he's gonna get better?
I'm starting him on hemin
because his body can't
make any right now.
Will he be okay? I
mean, will he be Dean?
We'll have to wait and see.
♪
I don't know if I'm ready, Doc.
I don't think my stomach can
handle Army chow just yet.
Oh, that's not just any chow.
That's the Chili Mac MRE,
and listen, if you think
that stuff was easy to get,
you've been overestimating me.
I think I have you estimated
just about right, man.
I'm gonna save this one.
It'll be my last government-issued chow
I ever try to choke down.
What about reenlisting?
It's time for me to figure out
who I am when I'm not fighting.
Well, let me know if
I can help with that.
Oh, so you're gonna leave me hanging?
Look, I'm pretty much
out of tricks, Dean.
That Afghan woman, uh, the one
that you were taking care of
were you serious when you said
that she might be a game changer?
Absolutely. She's my
genetic white whale.
That dark day.
It's never going to go
away for either one of us.
But maybe we might make it
mean something different.
You were stationed at our base
for, what, about-about two weeks?
- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah, well,
I spent a year there.
I knew the people in
those villages, Doc.
I knew her.
I've always known her.
Ramiza Asadullah.
When the war was winding down,
her family applied
for refugee status here
and I I wrote a
statement on their behalf.
She lives in Kansas City?
Look, I've-I've always
known where she is.
I just thought you were
an arrogant glory hound.
But I, uh, I have you
estimated right now.
I, um
I really don't know what to say.
Don't say anything.
Go change the world.
What?
Just the one, right?
I beg your pardon?
I mean, you either did or
didn't do something that was
hard and horrible to
protect your sister.
But it was just the one,
right? You didn't, like,
get a taste for it or anything?
(LAUGHS)
This is not the moment for a power trip.
This is the moment to say
the words "just the one."
Just the one.
I need you to look
here and not look away.
You have nothing to be
awkward or nervous about.
Not with me.
I'm here to help you
and I'm gonna help you.
That guy whoever's
trying to blackmail you or whatever
he might know what you did.
But he doesn't know who you are.
And he damn sure doesn't know about me.
(LAUGHS SOFTLY)
Thank you.
You'd make an excellent serial killer.
Good night, Ingrid.
I don't know why you're
just standing there.
I have my pitch all planned out.
And I'm not nervous.
Oh, I'm not here for you.
I'm here for me.
Something incredible is
about to happen in here.
You think?
I never thought that I
would see this woman again.
I mean, she's alive, she's in Missouri,
and she's about to get
on a meeting with me.
That's amazing.
But I'm not talking about Ramiza.
What are you here for?
(LAPTOP CHIMES)
She's in the waiting room.
Go on, then.
(CLEARS THROAT)
I remember you.
You look just the same.
- There it is.
- WATSON: Yes, yes.
I remember you, too,
Ramiza, and you also
look just the same. Listen,
I've been waiting so
long to talk to you, so
I see you've been
working on your English.
It sounds great.
Yes, I have been taking classes.
I, um I-I really didn't think
that I would get a chance
to talk to you again.
SHINWELL: I told you, everything's fine.
THE REP: I have your assessment.
I've passed it along
to our mutual employer.
So what do you want?
(LAUREN SCOFFS)
You seriously had to
prop the door open for me?
Yeah. They're weird about security here.
Um, one sec. Just wrapping up.
Our mutual employer sends his regards.
As of this moment,
your services are no longer required.
What?
Thank you for your service.
ADAM: I don't feel like
going out for pizza tonight.
So I got us a table at Pusadee's.
- Shut up. Same day?
- (CHUCKLES)
I begged.
Hey.
I've been in my head for a minute now,
but you deserve my full attention.
- (ENGINE STARTS)
- Do be careful, Shinwell.
It's a dangerous world.
