9-1-1 Nashville (2025) s02e03 Episode Script

1
Thank you for driving me to work.
You didn't have to do that.
You wouldn't let me Uber to work
if my car was in the shop.
I appreciate you.
- [SNEEZES] Oh!
- Oh!
- Oh, my God! Babe, I'm sorry.
- [CHUCKLES] No, it's fine.
This pollen is killing me,
and with the pregnancy,
I can't take any of my allergy medicine.
- I'm sorry.
- It's fine. It's fine.
You should get a day off,
you know, have some rest.
No, there's always a rush at the ER
on high-pollen days
with asthma and allergies
and heart attacks. It's gonna be…
Adieu.
Hey, hey. You don't…
You don't got to get out.
Oh, no. I'm coming in.
I have a little baby Hart
pressing on my bladder.
Pregnancy is a beast!
What's a beast?
Uh. the pollen.
Sam's dying.
Yeah, just my luck.
They're saying it could be
the worst of the season.
It could be the worst
pollen event in history.
With temperatures spiking
after an unusually long winter,
dormant trees could
all pollinate at once.
Combined with gusty winds,
experts warn we could be
looking at a pollen apocalypse.
Makes my eyes itch just looking at it.
Reports are coming in
of massive pollen bombs.
One already caused a pileup on
Interstate 40 just west of Bellevue.
Seven injured victims have been
transferred to local hospitals.
You know, I love
this city, but it really
does find so many ways to kill you.
[BLOWS NOSE]
They're saying
it's the worst ever recorded.
Oh, great.
[NEWS REPORT CONTINUES, FAINT]
Rogue, what are you doing here?
Metro business.
Captain Hart,
do you mind if I address your crew?
It's urgent.
Come on in. Y'all gather around!
Pharaoh called a dispatcher
on her personal phone last night
to threaten his next plague.
[PHARAOH] There will be darkness.
Said he's going to unleash
the plague of darkness.
We're briefing every firehouse
to be on high alert.
Plague of darkness?
What do you think that means?
We're beefing up security at Nashville
Power, other municipal targets,
anything related to light,
but to be honest, we don't know.
There's one more thing:
Pharaoh made it clear
that any first responder who tries to
stop him could become his next target.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
Y'all heard what he said.
Watch each other's backs out there, 113.
[FIREFIGHTERS MURMURING]
["MR. SANDMAN" PLAYING]
Oh, God.
[PHONE RINGING]
[SNEEZES, COUGHING]
Uh, hey, boss.
[EMPLOYER] Why is
my tracker saying that
you are still at your first location?
You better not be pulling double duty
with your other jobs again.
No, no, no, no.
I'm doing the night shift
at the warehouse this week.
I'm just driving a little slow
because my allergies are acting up,
and my vision's a little blurry.
[EMPLOYER] I don't care
if you've got Ebola.
You don't get to your next delivery
in time, you're fired.
No, no, you can't fire me.
My dad's depending on this money
for his treatments.
Then you better step on it.
[LINE DISCONNECTS]
[DOORBELL RINGS]
Golden Lotus Delivery.
[RESIDENT]
Snowball, you come down from there.
Snowball.
Golden Lotus Delivery.
[STAMMERS] Thank you.
You can just leave it there.
Have a good day.
Snowball.
Uh, can I help you with that, ma'am?
Oh, would you, please?
Snowball got out,
and I can't get him to come down.
[SNOWBALL MEOWING]
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[LADDER SQUEAKING]
Whoa.
Hey, what's up?
Come on, Snowball. Come
on. I got you. I got you. I got you.
- [SNOWBALL MEOWING]
- Come over here, buddy. Come on.
[WIND WHOOSHING]
[SNEEZING]
[BOTH SNEEZING]
Oh, God. Are you… Are you okay?
I'm fine. What about you?
I'm doing all right, and so is Snowball.
Snowball. [CHUCKLES]
My hero.
[SNEEZING, CLEARING THROAT]
[SIGHS] God.
[APP ALARM BLARING]
Oh, crap. I'm so late.
["NO FUN" PLAYING]
[SNEEZING]
[PHONE RINGING]
Hey, boss.
I see that you are 15 minutes away
from your next delivery.
Which is a problem,
because it's due in eight.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm sorry. I was…
I was at Mrs. Wagner's.
I was helping with her cat.
I think we got hit by a pollen bomb.
I don't give a damn.
You need to make up that time.
I… I don't think I can.
I just… I think I should pull over.
I can't see with all this pollen.
Pull over, and you're fired.
- Please, I just don't think it's…
- [HORNS HONKING]
Whoa!
[GRUNTS]
[SCREAMS]
[CAMMIE] 911, what's your emergency?
[CALLER 1] This guy just crashed
into a pit of asphalt.
He landed hands first.
We pulled him out,
but it's stuck to his arms.
Poor guy's in agony.
It's gotta be about 300 degrees.
[DON] Hey, guys.
I need you to make a hole.
[GROANING]
All right, we'll take it from here.
Rox, Taylor, check him out.
[ROXIE] We're gonna help.
Let's take a look.
Tay, let's get him on the LIFEPAK.
Hey, boys. Let's get these
rubberneckers moving along.
Come on, folks. Keep moving.
- [ROXIE] What's your name, sir?
- Steve.
My hands hurt so bad.
Okay, we're gonna give you
something for the pain.
Tay, let's run a line.
Five milligrams of morphine.
How did this happen?
My allergies, my allergies.
My eyes were so irritated,
I couldn't see a thing.
[SNEEZES]
- Rox, I'm seeing signs of hyperemia.
- What is that? What is that?
The skin above your wrist
is discolored because the asphalt
is cutting off circulation
to your hands,
which means
the tissue underneath is dying.
I'm gonna lose my hands?
If we wait to get to the hospital,
you might.
[MACHINE BEEPING]
Don't wait. Get it off.
Okay. Maybe I can try,
but it's gonna hurt, okay?
Cut it off?
[STEVE GROANING]
It's burnt onto the skin.
We need to slip it off.
Slip it off? How?
Certain fatty oils have been known
to emulsify asphalt.
Should we hit a grocery store?
No, we don't have time.
Tissue won't survive that long.
Would mayo work?
[ROXIE] Let's hurry up, guys.
All right, Steve. We're gonna
submerge your hands now, okay?
- Ready?
- Yeah.
- [GROANING]
- All right, nice and easy.
There you go. Here you go.
Let's just hope the fat from the mayo
helps separate it from your skin
- so we can peel it off.
- [TAYLOR] Yep.
All right, let's bring them up.
Here we go.
Sloughing it off now.
- Oh, my God.
- Is it not working?
No, it's working perfectly.
It's sliding right off.
[STEVE BREATHING HEAVILY]
I'm gonna keep my hands?
- You're gonna get to keep your hands.
- [SIGHS]
Magic of mayo.
Okay. Let's irrigate
and wrap with wet gauze.
Yeah.
Steve, we're gonna get you
on a stretcher so we can travel you.
- Okay.
- Let us help you up.
[RYAN] Yeah.
- Okay, one, two, three.
- [STEVE GROANING]
All right, okay.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
I told you my allergies are killing me.
I can't see a thing.
Wait, allergies don't usually
make you go blind.
Can you open your eyes for me?
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
Steve, what color are your eyes?
Brown, why?
They're bright green.
What? How?
I don't know, but we need to find out.
Okay, let's travel him. Let's go.
[GUN FIRING]
A girl's work is never done ♪
I put one in the head, heart and crotch.
I call it the dirtbag trifecta.
I thought you said you were rusty.
Well, I've been stuck at home
with a shackle around my ankle,
so, I mean,
it actually feels good to be free again.
Is Dixie done with her probation too?
Unfortunately.
Well, I really appreciate
you coming out
with me for one of your first outings.
Are you kidding?
I mean, this Pharaoh calling you,
you need to be ready… [SNEEZES]
Oh, bless you. You're getting sick?
Excuse me. No, no, it's just…
It's all the pollen everywhere.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Go ahead, your turn.
Okay.
- Keep 'em straight but not locked.
- Okay.
And then I just line up that middle
thingy between the other two thingies?
- No, no, no. No aiming.
- No aiming?
God forbid this bastard comes into
your door, you don't
have time to think.
So what do I do?
You're gonna use your pointer instincts.
When you point, your
brain automatically
lines up your eye with your hand.
So now put your middle finger
over the trigger.
And then point your index finger
at the target and then fire.
[GRUNTS] Ooh.
- That actually felt really good.
- Right?
[CAMMIE CHUCKLES]
Now I'm gonna show you
how to reload, like so.
So how are things going with Don?
I mean, we're still
sleeping in separate
rooms and, you know, he's trying.
I'm trying, but…
Trust is a funny thing.
It's so easy to break, but…
So hard to put back together.
Yeah.
All right, hotshot.
You're gonna put one in the head,
the heart and the belly button.
Okay.
[BLYTHE, CAMMIE] Oh!
Hey! Excuse you… [STAMMERS]
Detective Kelly, what
are you doing here?
They let Metro Police
shoot for free here.
You're not a bad shot, Blythe.
Not a bad shot? She gives Annie Oakley
a run for her money.
All right, let's not get carried away.
Yeah, Cammie. You wouldn't want
to set her up for failure.
- [CAMMIE GASPS]
- Oh.
- Okay, city boy.
- [CAMMIE CHUCKLES]
Call your shot.
Center ring, double tap.
Okay, he's good.
She's better.
We'll see about that.
Eight ring, the top and the bottom.
You got this.
Hold on. [SIGHS]
[GRUNTS] Oh.
Wait, there's something… I…
You know, I have something in my eye.
Yeah, a likely story.
No, I'm… I'm serious.
There's something in my eye.
I can't see anything.
Okay, hold still. Let me see.
[CAMMIE] Oh, my God.
I don't feel so good.
- Oh!
- I got her. I got her. Call an ambulance.
Can you tell me
how many fingers I'm holding up?
No, I can't… I can't see a thing.
Did you notice anything
before you lost your vision?
Irritation? Redness?
My eyes were itchy this morning,
and now it's like they're on fire…
[STAMMERS] All over my whole body.
Okay. I'm gonna take a sample
and send it to the lab.
[BLYTHE GROANS]
You ever seen anything like this?
Only once. An hour
ago, 113 dropped off
a delivery guy with
sudden blindness too.
Same green cloudy corneas.
Could this have something to do
with the pollen coming in?
Honestly, no. Discharge
suggests a bacterial infection.
Sam, what's happening to me?
We are gonna get you on antibiotics,
and as soon as your
swelling comes down,
your vision should hopefully return.
Sam, are you feeling all right?
I just, um…
I skipped breakfast this morning.
- I'm just feeling a little queasy.
- [DON] Blythe.
[CAMMIE] Don, Ryan,
you guys got here quick.
[BLYTHE] Don. Donnie.
It's just me and Ryan.
- Mom, what happened?
- [STAMMERS] I don't know, honey.
Dad, she's got the same eyes as our guy.
Rogue, what are you…
what are you doing here?
I was with them when it happened.
We ran into him at the shooting range,
and then… and then
he helped get me here.
Thank you.
- Dr. Hart, I need you.
- [ALARM BLARING]
Our patient with the green eyes.
Mr. Wong, yeah. What's going on?
He's taking a turn.
All right, I'll be back
as soon as I can.
Wait, what? What? But that…
that sounds ominous.
I'm gonna give you guys some privacy.
Blythe, feel better.
Thank you.
I'm gonna call into work.
My shift starts in an hour.
They're gonna need
to find me a replacement.
No way.
If this is a superbug,
there's gonna be more cases,
and you have to be at work.
So do you… So do you all.
You guys need to go back to work.
- Mom, no one's going anywhere, okay?
- Yeah, you are.
You need to get back and lead the 113.
What are you gonna do?
I'm staying here with my wife.
Good news, Mr. Poole.
Got the call from Clarksville.
Your new heart is officially on its way.
Do we know what happened to the donor?
Apparently, he was on I-24
when a pollen bomb rolled across.
Rear-ended by a
tractor trailer. [SNEEZES]
Bless you.
Don't worry. I'm not sick.
It's just allergies.
It's terrible that somebody had to die
so that my boys can
still have a father.
Receiving an organ can trigger
something akin to survivor guilt.
It's very natural.
You want my advice?
Embrace the gift he's given you
and be the best dad you can be.
I will.
Thank you for saying that.
We should get started.
Now that the heart's in transit,
the clock's already ticking.
Your patient, Doctor.
Hey, Jerry.
Count down from ten for me, please.
Ten, nine…
Patient's fully induced.
Proceeding to intubate now.
[MACHINE WHIRRING]
Scalpel.
Opening the chest cavity.
I have the donor heart, Doctor.
How long has it been out?
Three hours and six minutes.
That means we have 54 minutes
until it's a pumpkin.
All right, we better hustle.
Start the bypass.
One bypass.
Full flow. Clear to clamp.
[NURSE] Donor heart's on ice.
Cross clamping.
Fuentes, Metz please.
[COUGHS]
- You all right, Doctor?
- I'm fine.
Vena cava, cut.
I'm removing the old heart now.
- Empty.
- Bypass is working. Numbers are good.
Donor heart has 33 minutes till pumpkin.
You ready for the donor heart, Doctor?
Not quite. The aorta needs trimming.
[COUGHING]
Doctor, are you sure you're okay?
- Oh, my God.
- He just cut an artery.
I can't see. I'm blind!
Back away from the patient.
Dr. Collins, step up.
I can't. I can't see either.
I don't feel so good.
His temperature's 105, Doc.
Did you start him
on the antibiotic bundle?
Yes, but whatever this infection is,
it's a runaway train.
Hey, okay, double the dose,
then check with the labs to see if
they've been able to identify the
samples we sent him
so we can fight this.
Can someone call my dad, please?
I really want him to be with me
here right now.
- Sure. Sure, baby.
- [PA ANNOUNCER] Code Blue.
Any available surgeons to the OR, stat.
They need more surgeons in the OR?
I've never heard that before.
- Me neither.
- Code Blue.
- Any available surgeons to the OR now.
- Sam. Everything okay?
I'm about to find out.
What's going on in here?
Dr. Doyle lost his vision during
the procedure, nicked the aorta.
Dr. Collins can't see either.
I don't know what's happening.
Everything went completely dark.
All right, take them to the ER
so they can get treatment.
I'll clamp the tear so
you can step away.
The donor's heart's only viable
for another 18 minutes.
Well, who's the other cardiovascular
surgeon on shift right now?
Dr. Scarlin.
He's asleep in the on-call room.
Page Nurse Eleanor to wake him up.
He's gonna have
to perform this transplant.
Dr. Scarlin.
Dr. Scarlin, you're needed in the OR
for an emergency transplant.
- Something's wrong.
- Yes, the patient is critical.
I can't see.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[SAMANTHA] Cut it.
Stitching complete. No bleeding.
That should buy him some time.
[DON] Sam.
Don, what are you doing here?
Eleanor sent me.
You're gonna have to do this transplant.
- Wh… Where's Dr. Scarlin?
- He's not coming.
He went blind too.
Eleanor is treating him.
What the hell is going on?
We're gonna have to page
somebody from the county to come in.
This heart's only viable for 15 minutes.
They'll never make it in time.
Look, Sam, you have to do this.
Even with experienced doctors,
it takes two surgeons
to perform this procedure,
and there's no one else.
There's one. I called Rox.
She's two minutes out.
Neither of us are qualified
to do a heart transplant.
You're both surgeons.
There's a team in there that has
done hundreds of these procedures.
They'll have your back.
I can't do this.
I believe in you, Sam.
Hey, I heard you could use some hands.
Rox, thanks for coming.
[NURSE FUENTES] Here's the donor heart.
I've assisted on hundreds of these.
I can talk you through it.
Thank you, Nurse Fuentes.
We need to reattach the five great
vessels, starting
with the left atrium.
Ten minutes until the heart
is no longer viable.
Needle driver.
Thank you, Nurse.
Cut it.
Atrium complete. Next.
The vena cava, beginning
with the inferior, then the superior.
- You're doing great, Sam.
- Thanks, Rox.
Cut it. Both complete. What's next?
Pulmonary artery.
Six minutes left
to get that heart beating.
Done. Moving on to the aorta.
It's the last one.
[SNEEZES]
Less than one minute, doctors.
Aorta done. Prepare now for reperfusion.
Removing the clamp.
Eight seconds to spare.
[SIGHS]
[SIGHS]
[ROXIE CHUCKLES]
Why isn't it beating?
I thought you said we made it in time.
It's not an exact science.
You did your best, Dr. Hart.
No, I'm not giving up now.
Beginning open heart massage.
[SAMANTHA] Come on, Rox.
Come on, please.
["HOME II" PLAYING]
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
[SAM] Keep going.
All right, come on.
- Please.
- Please.
Don't stop.
Come on. Come on.
[MACHINE BEEPING]
We are coming home
We are coming home ♪
[SAMANTHA, ROXIE SIGH]
He's got a heartbeat.
No one can beat you.
[SAMANTHA] Folks, I know this is scary.
We've sent your samples to the lab
to help identify what's causing
the blindness so we can help treat it.
But until we figure it out,
we need you all to remain in isolation.
We're gonna do
everything we can to help.
- [GRUNTS]
- Hey.
Your back is killing you, isn't it?
[CHUCKLES]
Even blind, you see more than most.
I told you it was a bad idea
to sleep outside my bedroom.
Hey, told you,
as long as there's creeps out there,
I'm not taking any chances,
especially when it comes to you.
I should have just let you in.
There'll be more nights for that.
I'm not so sure.
You heard what Sam said.
They got everybody working on it.
They will find a treatment soon.
I know. That's what they keep saying.
[PA ANNOUNCER SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]
Hey, do you think
this could be airborne?
Honestly, no.
We'd have a lot more people with it,
but we're not taking any chances.
How about a deliberate act?
I mean, I suppose it's a possibility,
but that would require
finding an unknown superbug
and delivering it in a way
that would infect multiple people
who have no connection to one another.
That we know of.
Hey, what are you doing?
You can't just go
through people's things.
This is our patient zero, correct?
[DON] Rogue, what are you thinking?
Maybe there's a clue here
how he got this poor guy sick.
Do you think this is all Pharaoh?
Yeah.
Blindness is his twisted
version of darkness.
It's a working theory.
Could this be used as
a delivery system for a superbug?
- Yes.
- OcularDew, that's what Blythe and I use.
You guys share a bottle?
Well, she's been buying her own lately.
How long ago did she buy hers?
Day before yesterday.
It's the same as him.
Excuse me, I need everybody's attention.
Who in here used eye drops
within the past 48 hours?
And who used OcularDew?
I need to know where you bought them.
[MUZAK PLAYING ON SPEAKERS]
[PA ANNOUNCER] Attention, shoppers.
There's a sale
in aisle 12 you won't wanna miss.
This one says,
"Longer lasting with lipids."
I like the sound of that.
And I like the sound of half price.
"OcularDew."
But does it have lipids?
Will you stop with the lipids?
Coming through.
Hey. Will you leave some
for the rest of us?
We're dying here.
You might if you take those.
Where did you put it, Pharaoh?
Gotcha.
Excuse me. Excuse me.
What is going on here?
Metro police.
I believe somebody tampered
with these drops.
People are going blind all over town,
all from this brand,
all bought right here in this store.
Do you have any evidence of that?
I'm about to.
[EMPLOYEE] Hey.
Stop.
Damn it.
Has anyone seen a
Bible page around here,
passage underlined,
threatening a plague?
No.
It's gotta be here somewhere.
[EMPLOYEE]
Hey, stop this! Hey, stop that. Stop.
Unless you have a warrant,
you need to leave.
"Exodus 10:21.
The Lord said unto Moses,
'Stretch out thine hand toward Heaven,
that there may be darkness
over the land of Egypt.'"
I'm gonna need to see
all your security footage.
[CAMMIE] 911, what's your emergency?
[CALLER 2] I'm blind.
I can't see anything!
I don't know what's going on.
Okay, I know it's
scary, but you aren't
the first caller to report this today.
What's your location?
I'm driving west on Flower.
You're driving?
I need you to pull over immediately.
Ma'am, you need to pull over right now.
I can't do that.
My son is having an asthma attack.
- Lucas, baby. You're gonna be okay.
- [WHEEZING BREATHS]
- Does he have an inhaler?
- Yeah, but it's not doing anything.
We were at the park, and we got hit
by this giant cloud of pollen.
[CAMMIE] Pollen bomb.
Listen, ma'am.
I need you to stop right now.
I see your location,
and I've already dispatched paramedics.
Lucas.
Oh, my God. He's not breathing.
I don't care if I crash.
I'm taking him to the hospital.
If you crash, you're not
gonna make it to the hospital.
- [HORN HONKING]
- I'm not stopping.
I don't want you to stop.
I'm gonna guide you to somewhere closer.
I'm sending you a video request.
- Accept it.
- Okay.
It's on the top of your screen.
Okay, I see you.
Can you hold up the camera
so I can see the road?
Good. Now just keep straight and steady.
[HORN HONKING]
- Are you doing what I think you're doing?
- Notify the 113.
They have a child inbound with an
asthma attack who's not breathing.
I'll have them wait outside.
All right, you're doing great.
Up ahead, you're
gonna make a right turn.
- Okay, now?
- Nope, not yet. It's just…
We're a block away.
All right, I'm gonna count you down,
but before I do,
flick on that right turn signal
for me, okay?
Okay.
[CAMMIE] Nice and easy now.
The intersection is in three,
two, one.
Now turn.
Okay. That was close.
From here, just a couple more blocks.
[HORN HONKING]
And you are almost there. You're
gonna turn right into a parking lot.
Slow down. You're
gonna make a sharp turn
in three, two, one.
Now. Watch the curb.
You're there. You're there.
Stop, stop, stop!
Stop the car! Stop!
Stop, stop. Stop, stop.
Hey, Cammie. We got them.
Everybody's still in one piece.
The boy's in the back.
The mom can't see.
He's not breathing.
- [MOTHER] Lucas.
- [RYAN] We got him. We got him.
[MOTHER] Okay.
Airway's extremely constricted.
I'm hearing slight respirations.
He's also got a medical band.
It's for a few antibiotics.
Hey, Ry, push 125 milligrams,
- Solu-Medrol, 50 milligrams IV Benadryl.
- On it.
Tay, administer albuterol
with a nebulizer.
Okay.
Take some breaths for me, baby.
[CRIES] Lucas, baby. Lucas, honey.
Lucas, sweetheart, can you hear me?
[MOTHER] Lucas, please wake up.
Please. Please, please, please.
[TAYLOR] There we go.
Keep breathing for me, baby.
- [MOTHER] He's breathing?
- He's breathing.
He's breathing. He's breathing.
[SOBBING] Oh, my God.
I love you so much.
I love you too.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
He's gonna be okay?
Yeah, he's gonna be fine.
I'm more worried about you.
You're burning up.
We need to get you to the hospital.
Officials are pulling
OcularDew eye drops off the shelves.
Metro police suspect bottles purchased
at a downtown pharmacy may be…
Blythe, how we doing?
[BREATHES HEAVILY]
It's getting harder to breathe.
[SAMANTHA] Yeah, your oxygen's at 86%.
Temp's 105.
105? That… That's gotta be an ER record.
Tied it, actually.
With who?
The blind patient who came in
an hour ahead of you.
How's he doing now?
He has sepsis.
Stage one is green-eyed blindness.
Stage two, a flu from hell.
Stage three, sep… sepsis, so…
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
What's-What's stage four going to be?
If I had to guess, organ failure.
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
Dr. Hart, I need oxygen.
- Dr. Doyle, I'm right here.
- I can't breathe.
Don. Donnie.
I'm here.
I'm so glad that you stayed.
I will always be here for you,
whether you like it or not.
That's what's important, isn't it?
Showing up…
like you always have for me.
And you didn't for Dixie.
No.
But I, uh…
I broke your trust.
Why didn't you do it?
[STAMMERS]
Why did you turn around that day?
Blythe, you don't…
you don't want to hear this right now.
Yeah, no, I do.
I do, because I might not
get another chance to.
I was driving over there and, uh, I
saw this young couple on horseback.
[HORSE WHINNYING]
They brought me back
to the beginning of our story.
You made me feel
the world was worth living in.
[EMOTIONAL MUSIC PLAYING]
[SOBBING]
And the only way home was back to you.
I love you. [BREATHES DEEPLY]
I love you, Donald Hart.
I love you too, honey.
- No, no. Help! Somebody help my son!
- [MACHINE FLATLINING]
I think he's dying!
He's flatlining.
Code Blue!
Starting CPR.
One, two, three, four, five.
One, two, three, four, five.
[FATHER CRYING]
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Lord, I know
we have not spoken in a while,
but my wife is the most selfless
person I know in this world.
Spare her, all right?
Just-Just spare her.
If you're gonna punish someone,
just punish me, damn it.
I don't think you're supposed
to swear when you pray.
Thanks. I'm a little out of practice.
- I'm Don. What's your name?
- Lucas.
What brings you here, Lucas?
Asthma attack, but I'm okay now.
What's wrong with her?
She has sepsis,
which means she's very sick.
My mom's sick too.
It's my fault that she's sick.
I'm sure that's not the case.
Yes, it is.
The doctor said her eye drops made
her blind, but they were my eye drops.
They were yours, and-and-and…
and she used them?
I let her borrow them
when we went to the park.
- And you were using them too?
- Yes, sir.
And you don't feel sick?
Lucas, can I look at your eyes
for a second?
Are they bad?
No, they're… they're great.
They're great.
- Sam, come here.
- Yeah, yeah. What's going on?
This is Lucas.
He just told me that he used the
same eye drops as his mom, who's ill.
Uh, he doesn't have any symptoms.
Could he be immune?
Or maybe he happens to already be
on whatever we
need to kill this thing.
Lucas, have you been
taking any medicine lately,
other than what we gave you
for your asthma?
I had pneumonia two weeks ago,
so I have to take pills.
That means you're on antibiotics
and his bracelet says he's allergic
to amoxicillin and doxycycline.
Do you know what you've been taking?
Come on, buddy. Come on.
This is really, really important.
No.
I don't know the name.
That's his mom's purse.
Cefiderocol. One pill left.
That explains why we haven't tried
it. Hardly anybody takes this anymore.
Could this be the silver bullet
we're looking for?
It's a good chance.
Only problem is we don't have it.
Nobody does unless
you have a special order.
Well, where do we have to go to get it?
It looks like the closest place is an
infectious disease
clinic in Chattanooga.
It's about a four-hour
round trip. Some
of these people don't have that long.
What if I could have them here
in, uh, 90 minutes?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that would help.
You think Fire's gonna
lend us their helicopter?
No, no, no. No, that'd take too long.
Too much red tape, but I…
I may know a guy. [SNIFFLES]
["ON THE OTHER SIDE" PLAYING]
Dr. Russ, I need a favor.
[BLUE] It's good to have friends
with access to helicopters.
Well, Raleigh Foundation
does a lot of work with Vanderbilt.
[RYAN] God, I hope we make it in time.
Come on, boys. Come on, boys.
Pilot, how long till we get there?
We got a lot of people counting on us.
Chattanooga's about 20 more miles.
[MACHINE BEEPING]
Doc, we're losing him.
Hang on just a little longer.
Keep the rudders going.
We're gonna hot load it.
Let's go! Come on, come on!
We're good. Take it back up.
[RYAN] We're coming, Mom.
We're coming.
[SONG CONTINUES]
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[LUCAS] My mom is getting worse.
Help's coming, sweetheart.

We got it. We got the stuff.
Okay, okay.
Two grams IV to everyone, stat.
Did we make it in time?
For most of them, I think so.
- My mom?
- I hope so.
She has sepsis
but hasn't gone into organ failure.

- Blythe. Honey! Honey!
- [RYAN] Mom?
[DON] You're awake.
[SONG ENDS]
Hey, girl.
You gave us quite
the scare there, Blythe.
I gave myself quite a scare.
Look at you. [KISSES]
[BLYTHE SIGHS]
You all look exhausted.
- At least we know now you can see.
- [CHUCKLES]
Hey.
[LAUGHS] What did you do?
I sweet-talked the commissary lady.
Got her to open
up a little early for a
little Praline Supreme, your favorite.
For breakfast?
You think it's too early for ice cream?
- No, you know what I think?
- Hmm?
I think that starting right now,
I want to savor every second that I get.
[RYAN CLEARS THROAT]
We, uh, interrupting something?
[CHUCKLES]
I just wanted to check in on you.
Come in.
Well, hey, your eyes are clear, your
temp's down, your
vitals are normalizing.
I think you beat this.
Well, I mean, I feel like a new woman.
So they figure out what this bug was?
Labs finally identified it
as a drug-resistant strain
of Pseudomonas aeruginosa,
an extremely lethal pathogen.
- [RYAN] Yeah.
- Huh.
But you think I kicked it?
I would say your prognosis
is a full recovery.
Okay, so… so now the
person whose medical
status I'm really interested in is…
- is yours.
- Mine?
Why? What do you mean?
Well, I mean, you've been
passing up the prosecco lately.
- Oh, I've been on a health kick lately.
- Yeah, she's…
[BLYTHE] Mmm.
And then I smelled you were eating
ginger chews when I first came in,
and now you're sipping on peppermint tea
after being on shift
for almost over 24 hours.
- It's very soothing.
- I think we can all agree
it's been a very trying 24 hours.
You know what? [STAMMERS] Cut the crap.
The Sam I know would be
slamming caffeine right now unless…
you're pregnant.
Y'all are pregnant?
[BOTH LAUGH]
- Yes?
- How did you…
I mean, damn it, Mom.
How did you do that, Mom?
Because you notice things
when you can't see.
Look, we wanted to tell you guys.
- It's just…
- No, I know.
You didn't want us to make a fuss,
but listen, we're
gonna make a big fuss.
- Get in here!
- [RYAN] Okay, all right.
- Come on!
- Thank you.
- Congrats.
- [RYAN] Yeah.
But, um, listen, before we go
and plan the baby shower, um…
there's something you guys gotta know.
What?
I have cancer.
They found it on the ultrasound.
Ovarian.
Oh, honey.
What's your prognosis?
Not as good as yours. [CHUCKLES]
I scoured every frame of footage
since that pharmacy
got its last shipment
of OcularDew eye drops.
Any signs of foul play?
Besides this savage assault?
Stop.
- You're fired.
- [LAUGHS]
What else you got?
Not much, unfortunately.
First item of note: Wednesday
at 1700 hours, Maureen Williams,
who lost her sight while
driving her kid to the hospital.
An hour earlier, we have Nurse Fuentes,
who bought five bottles for
the cardiac unit at Village West.
- That's how the surgeons went blind.
- Mm-hmm.
And three hours before.
- This is…
- Blythe Hart.
- You know her?
- I took her to the hospital.
For a second there,
it felt like you were
going to tell the
story, but never mind.
And here, 90 minutes
before Ms. Hart, is our patient zero.
[ROGUE] Poor kid.
Rest in peace, Steve Wong.
Do we ever see any suspects who might
have replaced or
tampered with the drops?
Anyone who might be Pharaoh?
What we have here
is a highly skilled individual.
Watch what happens at 6:15 a.m.
And it's like that for over an hour,
which would have given him
plenty of alone time with the bottles.
And to place a Bible page.
Probably used a signal jammer.
So to answer your question
in a different way, we have jack squat.
[VIDEO REWINDING]
No, that's not true.
We have something.
- What? What is it?
- Zoom in.
Roll it forward again
until after the blackout.
- Now back to before.
- [VIDEO REWINDING]
Pharaoh just can't help himself.
His pride is gonna be his undoing.
Are you messing with me?
How do I not see it?
The sales price on the OcularDew drops
where I found the Bible page,
from 7.27 before the blackout
to 7.29 after.
Why would he change it?
Because he's taunting us.
He's daring us to figure it out.
It's a clue.
Could it be another Bible verse?
That's what I'm thinking.
All of them have been from Exodus,
so let's see what Exodus 7:29 is.
- Huh.
- What?
There's only 25 verses in Exodus 7.
Maybe it's another book.
Whatever it is, I'm telling you,
729 is the key to his next attack.
[ATTENDANT] We now invite
our passengers in Group A
to board Keystar flight to Milwaukee.
Group A, please.
- [MACHINE DINGS]
- Have a nice flight.
- [DINGS]
- Have a nice flight.
[DINGING]
Have a nice flight, sir.
Sorry, ma'am.
It's only Group A at this time.
[GROANS] We're all going
to the same place, ain't we?
Ma'am, if you could
please just move for
Are you really gonna make
a federal case out of this?
You have no idea the miseries
the universe has put me through today,
- and all I wanna do is get on the plane…
- You know what?
…and sit my ass down.
- The
- Just go ahead.
Thank you.
Finally, something's going my way.
