Nurse Jackie s06e08 Episode Script
The Lady with the Lamp
Previously on Nurse Jackie.
Do I have to get a restraining order? You can't fire me, Jackie.
I'm still your sponsor.
This is the last of my stash.
I've given up on my own before, I can do it again.
I just wanted you to know that I got you that dress you liked.
Well, I don't want it anymore.
Grace, where is this coming from? I don't understand.
Of course you don't.
You're not here.
You're not in my fife.
Leftovers.
I'm stashing them here.
- No way.
- Friends help each other.
I booked us on a beachside hotel three nights in Miami.
I found Oxy in Grace's room.
Hey, Jack, that's a lot of pills.
There were more.
I took seven.
What the fuck is wrong with you? Nothing.
I feel fantastic.
- I don't need anything from you.
- I'm out of here.
Help me.
160 miles an hour.
As a result, the National Weather Service has upgraded Hurricane Penny- Hang in there, Jackie.
Almost ready.
- Hey, Eddie.
- Hey.
Thought we were supposed to be getting her off all this shit.
Yeah, these are benzos mostly.
They'll help her relax, not feel the withdrawal as intensely.
Ah.
How's her stomach doing? Diarrhea or vomiting? - I don't know.
- Mmm.
- She didn't touch a thing.
- Well, her stomach's gotta be pretty sour by now.
I just want to thank you guys.
You two are tops.
I'm a newbie at this, so thank you.
- This is gonna be hard on all of us, isn't it? - Well, she's the one doing it.
- I'm just brewing coffee.
- Anything for her, right? Disaster preparations are under way as Miami- Oh, I hope the hurricane doesn't ruin our pretend vacation.
You know I think of you- Montgomery Clift, so hot.
- I would definitely run away with him.
- Amen.
I'm sitting right here.
Catherine.
Catherine.
Catherine! Catherine.
Catherine.
Catherine.
Catherine! Hey.
You all right? Come here.
Sit down.
I could get you a Suboxone.
Nah, it's just something else to wean myself off of.
Oh, well, you do not have to feel this pain if you don't want to.
It's not childbirth.
Yeah, childbirth is much easier.
- I had a baby at the end of it.
- Mmm.
Still, I'm gonna give you a Xanax and some Imodium.
- All right, kid.
- Oh, God.
I'm just so embarrassed.
What? No.
Listen.
You never have to be embarrassed around me.
Oh, hey.
Oh, you're gonna feel like shit, and then it's gonna be over.
This is three or four days out of your life.
Whatever you're feeling right now, it's just for right now.
This is- lt's just about the- the chemistry of the moment.
Uh- - Grace is outside.
- Oh.
- I didn't know what to do.
- No, I got it.
- All right.
- I'll take care of it.
I'll take care of it.
What the fuck? Hey, Grace.
How you doing? - Jesus, what are you doing here? - Dog sitting.
Looking after Slippers while your mom and Frank are down in Miami.
- Mom's in Miami? - Yep, for the weekend.
Why are we still standing on the porch? - Sorry, ladies, but I have some company.
- Oh.
- Oh, hey.
What's taking so long? - Hey.
- Gross.
- Give me a minute, sweetheart.
I'll be right in.
- Okay.
- I left my purse here.
Do you mind if I grab it? - What does it look like? - You wouldn't know where to look.
Rainbow-glitter clutch.
Expensive.
I think I saw it.
lt's in the kitchen.
Give me a minute.
What the fuck is my purse doing in the kitchen? He better not have touched my shit.
I didn't exactly ask you to hide drugs in my house.
Here you go.
Have a good day at school.
- It's Saturday.
- That's right.
I'm gonna kill you.
You're not gonna kill me.
What do you call it when nobody speaks to you? When you cease to exist in the eyes of anyone who matters? - Well, it wasn't my fault.
- You're such a sophomore.
Oh.
How long have I been sleeping? About 16 hours.
How you doing, baby? How you doing? Oh, you're burning up.
Can you get Eddie? Eddie and Antoinette left.
lt's just me, honey.
Okay.
All right.
I'll be better by tomorrow.
I'm gonna go back to work.
You're staying right here with me.
In Miami.
Just rest, baby, okay? There you go.
I'm not getting any better just laying around here.
I gotta go.
You just lay down, okay? streets flooded and blackouts across the state in me wake of Hurricane Penny.
Floridians are just beginning to assess the damage.
Hurricane Penny caused mass destruction as vicious hurricane force winds swept through homes and businesses- You know, honey, you don't have to do this.
I know.
Yes, I do.
- So worried.
- That storm was crazy.
It's all I've been seeing on the news.
All those people displaced.
lt's so sad.
- How did you get out? - Train.
All-night train.
That is so romantic.
Well, I'd be happier if I'd gotten a tan.
- Grace is upset.
- So she called you, naturally.
Why didn't you tell her you were in Miami? Frank sprung it on me.
Kid's got enough on her mind.
Say, Jackie, can I get an assist? We've got a Jane Doe in bay four.
- Bad flu.
- Sure thing.
She won't tell me anything about herself.
Probably a domestic violence or missing person.
I thought you'd probably have a better shot at getting her to open up.
Hi, I'm Jackie.
What's your name, sweetie? - I'm not into that.
- Names? Names, places, small talk.
Is somebody looking for you? Are you in danger? Librarians donât get into much trouble.
Going to be here for a while.
You sure there isn't anybody I can call for you? - No.
- Dad? Maybe mom? I've got my tats and my books.
Fuck my parents.
It's hard to be alone when you're sick.
Give it a rest, lady.
Whatever you've done does not matter to me.
Fuck, I never cry.
Coop! Holy fuck.
Are my eyes bleeding? Dacryohemorrhea.
Probably a side effect of the flu.
Probably? Let's get a C.
B.
C.
, L.
F.
T.
and basic metabolic.
It's sinus pressure from your flu.
You're lying.
You're always lying.
Jackie, need you! You're okay, baby.
You're okay.
Before God and those assembled here, I solemnly pledge to adhere to the code of ethics of the nursing profession.
- Remember that, Jackie? - lt's been a while since I graduated nursing school.
Lovely oath, isn't it? lt's never too late - to rededicate ourselves to our core principles.
- Okay.
I will abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous.
- A worthy goal.
- I thought so.
That's why I'm overhauling our nursing staff.
Interviews are about to begin momentarily.
Shit's been getting real around here.
Oh, I hadn't noticed.
America.
What a beautiful country.
Nurse Nightingale.
Mrs.
Akalitus will see you now.
Big fan.
The rest of you, try to keep it to 16 bars.
The accompanist will cut you off.
- You're a doctor.
- Thought I'd walk a mile in your shoes.
Might I say, your shoes are way more comfortable.
You know, it's 10 times the work for way less money.
Your Jane Doe librarian? No Due-no.
White blood cells, through the roof.
Did you win a wet T-shirt contest? You wish.
Got caught in the hurricane.
- That one in Florida? - Yeah.
- But you're not in Florida.
- Neither are you.
- We're going to need to admit you.
- You're lying.
You are sick.
Potentially very sick.
- See this bird? - lt's pretty.
Underneath it, in cursive, it says âlove.
â? My first tattoo.
I got it when I was 16 years old.
I covered it up six months later.
I know.
I get that.
Don't act like you know me.
Flood searches are escalating.
And we're getting reports of massive flooding.
The rain- Eddie, why aren't you in the pharmacy? No drugs left.
Life Savers? Doctor, watch your step.
Things are slippery.
How's my patient doing? You're coming home with me.
- Doctor's orders.
- There's work to do here.
There's always gonna be something pulling you away from me, isn't there? That isn't it at all.
What can I do? Just this.
She's ready to see you now.
Why won't the statues look at us? Even saints need a break.
Grace, I've made some terrible mistakes.
I want another chance with you.
I live in California now.
You're not in California.
You're here with me.
No, I'm not.
Don't you need me? I'm not a little girl.
Grace.
You're so fucking full of yourself.
Is there any chance you could look at me like I'm not just some victim of your addiction? Grace, come home.
You should have fought harder.
Good news.
I found just the person All Saints needs.
Hurry up, before we lose her.
Jackie, meet Jackie.
Flanders governor, Rick Scott, declared a state of emergency.
FEMA and the National Guard are poised to begin the rescue operations in earnest.
Here in the city of Miami you can hear the cries of those whose lives have been shattered by the brutal force of nature's fury.
The storm has taken a roll.
.
not only on the resources of Miami, but on the hearts- Do you think she's ready to eat something? Don't talk about me like I'm not here.
Signs of life.
- Hey.
- Hey there.
Howâs our girl? You know, fever's down.
She ate.
- Oh.
- Um, Frank is with her.
- Oh.
- I'm really impressed with that guy.
- Yeah, he's good people.
- Mmm.
Why don't you go on home? She's fine with Frank.
- It's over, huh? - Well, she's not gonna feel like herself for a while.
- Yeah, it's messed up.
- What? Well, it's kind of like having a good time with someone at a funeral.
- Right? Yeah.
- I mean, in a way.
- Yeah.
Oh, my God.
You finally have reception.
Yeah, it's been kind of messed up here.
But we're hoping to be on the next flight out.
Take whatever time you need.
lt's dead here.
Okay, will you let Gloria know, please? Of course.
I've been really scared for you.
So has Grace.
Okay.
I'll check in again as I know more, okay? Sounds good.
I'm sorry those girls at school are being assholes.
Nobody talked to me all day.
Everybody hates me.
- God, I remember that feeling.
- You do? I used to stand on line for the pay phone during lunch period with all the other girls who didn't have any friends.
We all pretended we had some important call to make so that nobody would notice we were alone.
It never occurred to any of us to just talk to each other.
What's a pay phone? Here's the point.
If I ever did get to the front of the line I'd just call my mom pretend like I was talking to a friend.
I miss work.
I know.
But it's not what you need right now.
And Zoey believed our dumb hurricane lie.
I feel terrible.
I donât know.
lt's kind of romantic.
Two of us shipwrecked, weathering the storm.
I like the image.
Hello? Anybody there? I didn't think you were home.
Yeah, we just got back.
I had a really, really bad day, Mommy.
- Do you want to talk about it? - No.
Can I make you some pancakes? In animal shapes? Of course.
Can I stay here? Sweetie, this is your home.
I'm gonna take a shower.
You, uh- You need some help? No, I'm good.
Hey, Jack, is this, uh- ls this- You know, look, the best time for her to be here? She called me âMommy.
â I know, but it's a lot of stress, and- - Jack, they were her drugs.
- Yeah.
The only person in the world who can help her is me.
Look, look, I don't want you to relapse.
She needs me.
And what about your needs? And mine? I'm only doing that once.
I'm not doing that again.
I can't promise you I won't relapse.
I am an addict.
You realize what you just put us through? Yes.
All right, I gotta get some air.
I just- I'm gonna go take a walk.
You do that.
Catherine!
Do I have to get a restraining order? You can't fire me, Jackie.
I'm still your sponsor.
