Nurse Jackie s07e12 Episode Script

Previously on "Nurse Jackie" - How's it feel being back? - Good.
Better than I remember.
I have serious questions about Jackie's future sobriety.
Mrs.
Akalitus's son Michael is an addict.
I had no idea my lawyer would take it that far.
I know, but he did.
Dr.
Prince, I want you to sign this.
Are you questioning my ability to do my jo what?! Gloria, I know you don't want to see me, but I am here to talk about Bernie.
He's got stage four glioblastoma.
That poor man.
Would you take him off the floor, please? Mr.
Walters? I understand you solicited to sell narcotics.
I've got about 500 Illyria.
Let's talk, come on.
There seems to be a sizeable difference between the number of physician signatures you've acquired and the number of samples you've requested.
That's impossible.
All Saints has entered escrow with the Norwegians.
We here in the ER are deemed essential for now, but I'd start thinking about your futures.
Make me good.
What are the six sins of the Holy Spirit? Presumption, despair, uh, envy, obstinacy Obstinacy, resisting the known truth um No Final impenitence.
Is Eddie coming tomorrow? I don't know.
I'm not sure.
He's under a lot of stress lately, work stuff.
We'll be fine.
It's a bit of a speed bump.
It's called being engaged.
Remember us? We almost broke up a week before the wedding.
Look how that turned out.
- I promise I'll nail this.
- I know you will, sweetie.
You just have to keep running catechism with your sister.
- Are you okay? - Yeah, I'm fine, why? It's your last day at the hospital.
Yes.
It's weird after all these years, but I hope I'll have something soon.
- As in job? - As in Bellevue.
Hello, do you want to go to lunch? I'm sorry, what did you just say to me? Do you want to go to lunch? He's asking you to lunch.
He's very hard to resist.
Jesus Christ.
Hardly.
Just the godmother, summoned for the confirmation.
Goodness gracious.
Surprise.
Oh, my heavens.
Did you guys know about this? I will never trust any of you ever again.
Oh, well, hello, cutie-pie.
You're looking good, Jacks.
- Really.
- Thank you.
I feel good.
I feel great, actually.
I'm, uh, in the best place of my life.
You know I still worry about you.
Oh, well, you don't have to.
Do you miss New York? Eh, truthfully, when I left this city, it was like I was shedding a skin.
Ah, thank you.
Let's not get narky.
You know I miss you.
Which is why I'm paying Grace an obscene amount of money to babysit so that you and I can have some fun.
Oh, I always did love your plans.
Okay, I am here, I am flush with cash, Manhattan is our oyster.
Where in your wildest dreams would you like to go? Wow.
Hmm.
- Aren't you glad it's busy? - This is beyond busy.
It's like we're having a going-out-of-business sale.
Yeah, everything must go.
Okay, including this appendix.
Um, our OR is closed.
We'll transport you to the hospital of your choice.
God, as dreary as ever.
Where's Coop? In Boston.
What are you doing here? Whoa! Yes, I flew in for Fiona's confirmation.
Flimsy excuse to see me.
And you, of course.
But mostly me.
Deal with it.
It's like you grabbed a handful of fairy dust and threw it everywhere.
Thank you.
Excuse me, is that a ring I see on your fairy dust hand? See what happens? You leave the country for two years and the gays are tying knots.
Call for you, Jackie.
Hello, Carrie Roman, MD.
Of course, I remember you, Dr.
Roman.
You were just starting your residence when I left.
Oh, well, I hope the two aren't related.
Actually, they were.
I was threatened by your aesthetic.
That's so nice.
Well, that was Bellevue.
I got the job! - Thank God.
- Yay! And that's only half of it.
They asked if I had any recommendations, Zoey.
Well? You're coming, right? Uh, no I mean, it's It's so out of the blue, I'm still figuring out the job thing.
Plus I need time to finish my master's program.
Can I, um Yes, sure, of course.
Just came to turn in my badge and my coat and, uh, to apologize.
Oh, please.
You have a rough enough road ahead.
I just hate not being me.
Sort of feel like I'm being erased.
I told all four of my ex-wives about my glioblastoma and two of them are on their way to town.
Soon I'll be surrounded by crazy, well-intentioned women.
Look on the bright side.
The two assholes stayed away.
Look, I'd like to stick around today.
Not as a doc, but I just want to be near people.
- He is just adorable.
- Mm.
Please tell me that he has playdates with Prince George.
You have got to be kidding me.
Wait a moment, the face is familiar.
Surprise.
Aw.
Can't wait to catch up.
Zoey, Dr.
Prince is signed out.
Could you page Dr.
Fine to come in? And deny yours truly the pleasure of getting blood on my Manolos? Get a lab coat for Dr.
O'Hara.
What about you, Gloria? Last day, why don't you come join the party? I have a hospital to run for now.
My, my, what did you do, leave the cap off her highlighter? She's having a hard time finding a job, and things have been a little tense between us since she fired Eddie for no reason.
Ooh, I have missed this dump.
You deny any misappropriation of pharmaceuticals from your samples? Asked and answered, Counselor, three times in this deposition.
I'm glad to say it again.
I deny it.
Okay, now it's my turn to ask a question.
Does my client's tally of drug samples match the number of physician signatures he received? His paperwork checks out, yes.
I think this matter was just put to rest.
- Thank you.
- Actually, we were just getting started.
The DA served a search warrant on a pain management clinic in Brooklyn.
You know what they found? A large quantity of Illyria matching your client's batch numbers.
So before I ask Mr.
Walzer what he knows about this pill mill, here's something to refresh his memory.
I would like a minute to speak with my lawyer.
Male, 46.
Fainted at work.
I like your hair down like that.
Oh, my God, God! Actually, it's Donald now.
Thanks, Abilify! You will always be God to us.
I appreciate that.
But I'm done with the all-knowing, all-seeing stuff.
Mm, it's a lot.
How long since your last meal when you fainted? Mm, two hours.
I'll order a glucose tolerance test.
- She's good, right? - Oh, she's the best.
From God's lips to your ears, which is why I want you at Bellevue with me.
I'll let you guys take it from here.
Check you in a bit, God.
Yeah, this might be less work.
British gum? Definitely.
- Mm.
- Mm.
It's so nice to have you back.
Well, I'm delighted to see how well everyone's doing.
Especially Jackie.
Yeah, totally.
I mean, so many times over the last few months, I've wished you were here.
Between Jackie's relapse, the arrest, jail, diversion I seriously had to pee-test her every single day.
And sometimes I'd think, "What would O'Hara do?" Right.
And how are you, Zoey? Can't you stay? Why the hell didn't you tell me? Hey, whoa, I thought you were my attorney.
Yeah, who's trying to save your ass.
Now the DA's got your batch numbers, they've got you on fucking camera at this bogus clinic.
Yeah, so why don't they just arrest me? They want more.
They're using your employer to squeeze your balls so they can nail the pill mill doctor.
All right, okay, so, yeah, we horse-trade.
Give them what you've got on this Dr.
Wu Oh, yeah, no.
Uh, mm-mm.
Uh, Eddie? I'm trying to keep you out of prison.
I can't open that can of worms.
It would blow back on too many people.
Okay, whoever you're protecting, ask yourself this Is it worth going to jail for her? You and me saving lives.
Just like old times.
You're high, aren't you? Where did that come from? Oh, Jackie, I know that face.
Are you kidding? I have worked my ass off to get clean.
You didn't answer my question.
You don't have to.
Relapse, diversion, lies, jail? That's not better, that's opera.
You know me at my best.
This is me at my best.
And when you're at your best, you're using.
What part of that combination is healthy? Why are you so Maybe it's as simple as this you can't be a nurse.
Well, being a nurse is who I am.
You hide behind that mantra like it's some magic cloak.
You're not just a nurse, Jackie.
You're a mother, a friend, a fucking human being.
- And when you're using - I am not having this conversation! Oh, really? Well, that's too bad.
You're going to Bellevue after this? Yes, I am.
It's called moving on.
That's not moving on.
That's moving in a circle.
Where are you going? I need to pick up Arthur.
Are you going to Fi's confirmation? Yes, of course I'll be there tomorrow.
Because you're my friend, Jacks.
Why do you have to make it so fucking hard to be one? Hey, Eddie, honey, it's me.
Uh, how are you? I know you have your deposition today, I hope I hope your day's going well.
Uh, I got the job at Bellevue.
Where is he? Where is he?! - Um, who are you looking for? - You know who! Fucker hit me with a brick and stole my shit.
Okay, your head is bleeding.
You mind if I hey! - Gun! - Okay, you should go.
I'm mid-stitch.
Okay, everybody just stay calm.
You don't want to do that.
Don't fuck with me, I know he's here! I What's your name, son? Jake, what what the fuck do you care? Jake, why don't you Why don't you give me that? That ain't happening.
How about this, then? Point the fucker at me.
A little higher, like my forehead.
What the fuck, man? Remember when I asked your name? Well, my name is Bernard Prince.
Captain Bernard Prince, NYPD.
Major Crimes.
I'm gonna count to 10, Jake.
I reach 10 and you're still here, you're fucked.
I reach 10 and you're gone you're not fucked.
Do you understand your options, Jacob? Yeah, here's your option, asshole.
All right, then.
Here we go.
One.
Two.
Three.
That was like a group mugging.
People in New York are fucking nuts.
Oh, fuck this.
I need a real smoke.
Oh.
Hello.
I think I hurt this guy and he's gonna come here looking for me.
He already did.
It's no.
It's all right.
He's he's gone.
I can't go back out on the streets.
He's gonna kill me.
Okay, how about we make a deal? You can stay here if you let me clean up your arms.
Okay.
- Okay.
- My coat, my coat.
Okay, got it.
Come on.
Oh, you've been injecting heroin between your toes.
Come here.
Lean on me, okay? I'm going to transfer you to Bellevue, which is where I'm gonna be working.
This way, I can keep an eye on you.
Okay.
I just hurt somebody and I didn't fucking care.
I understand what you're going through.
Because you're an addict? Actually, yes.
Please.
You're like a saint.
I'm far from it.
Is that why you're helping me? I'm helping you because it's what I do.
I feel all naked.
It's too open.
Maybe that's a good thing.
So, Barry Wolfe is an excellent lawyer.
Oh, thank God.
So they took your paperwork.
We can put this whole thing behind us.
Yeah, uh, Jack, I confessed to everything.
They had video surveillance footage at the pill mill.
No one asked a question about you, don't worry.
But I've never been happier you wore a fucking baseball hat in my life.
Isn't there anything else you can do? What did Barry say? Barry says I should testify against the pill mill doctor.
But that would spark an investigation, it would come back on you.
- So I confessed.
- Oh, fuck, Eddie.
I'll end up doing a year in some Martha Stewart prison.
- A year? - What's a year when I spend the rest of my life with you? You have to understand.
You're my You're my everything.
Oh, God, Eddie.
Let's go home.
Come on, I'm gonna go out and buy a bottle of bourbon, we're gonna come back, have a few drinks with our friends.
Let's enjoy our last few hours here.
We're gonna miss this place.
Jackie? They're transferring Raven.
- Oh.
- Oh, go, go to your patient.
I'll see you in a few.
Raven, hold on, no, no, no.
I don't want any of that shit.
Shed that skin, Vinny.
Our last patient.
I thought we had a few more hours.
We're out of meds.
All traumas are being diverted to other hospitals.
Wow.
That's the first time this door has been locked in centuries.
Yeah.
It just blows.
This whole thing.
Are you coming to Bellevue with me? I need to move on and I need you to let me.
We can move on together, Zoey.
When I first met you, you were wearing bunny scrubs and now you're head nurse.
I know, the first time I met you, I was afraid of you.
And it's just then I wanted to be you.
And now all I do is worry about you.
Jackie I need to go out there and make my own mistakes that have nothing to do with you.
You're like a daughter to me.
Then you should understand and let me go my own way.
Stop asking me to go with you.
Oh, Jackie, it's okay.
Don't cry.
I know, it's just, um I'm so proud of you.
Yeah.
So, um, you have any idea what's next? I mean, besides kicking ass on your master's? I'm gonna take a vacation.
- Ah.
- Go to an island for a couple of weeks.
That's great, you deserve it.
- What island? - Haiti.
H Yeah, I'm gonna volunteer for Doctors Without Borders.
Oh, that is perfect.
Yeah, I'm glad that you approve Mom.
Why do things that are so bad for you feel so good? Mm.
Some fucking day, huh? Don't blame yourself for anything.
I've made mistakes, too.
But we've raised three beautiful kids.
I'll take them every other weekend and because I love you, you can have them over Christmas.
All right? Yeah, that's that's great, Bernie.
Thank you.
- You're a good man.
- Yeah, well You want to come to the party with me? I'm okay sitting in the waiting room, waiting.
