Chicago Med (2015) s12e01 Episode Script

1
All hands on deck!
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
I love you, Hannah,
and I have for a long time.
Thank you for telling me now.
You tested positive for prion disease.
I'm not gonna ask you to
run out the clock with me
and take care of me.
I can't pretend I'm
not in love with you.
You had a stroke, and he
did not hesitate to exploit that.
You leaked Dr. Rabari's
personal medical files.
I want your resignation.
Please tell me you did not.
The less I say, the better.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER] [SIRENS WAILING]
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]
- Oh!
- Oh, sorry, Ms. Sloan.
I can't help you if you don't calm down.
My patient is in pulseless v-tach,
and someone took the crash cart!
- I'll take care of it.
- There's no time to wait.
[GASPS] What just happened?
- How'd you bring him back?
- Precordial thump.
Wow. That almost never works.
- Nice work, Dr. Wu.
- Thanks.
I don't know her. Why does she know me?
She knows everyone.
That's Mallory Sloan.
She's the new Ms. Goodwin.
Right. And who is Ms. Goodwin?
The dolphin squishy
just exploded all over her.
I didn't even know that could happen.
When it's baking in sunlight
next to a window, yes.
- Dr. Archer.
- Ms. Sloan.
What's your name and date of birth?
- Tierney Jacobs, 7/2/87.
- Treatment 3.
It's nice to meet you, Tierney.
Can you tell me exactly what happened?
I was sipping my Hydro Flask
after yoga, which was amazing.
Then I tripped and
face planted on a table.
I guess a plastic straw
would have been safer, but
Gotta save the turtles, am I right?
I should be bleeding green.
Dr. Archer, if this doesn't let up soon,
- we're gonna have to
- Bypass is not an option, Doris.
We need more support.
Put me in the game, Coach.
Put me in the game.
Are you really sure you
wanna get your hands dirty?
Oh, please.
We both know I could run this place
with one hand tied behind my back.
- You know what I'm saying?
- Hmm.
What am I to you all of a sudden,
some kind of effete head shrinker?
How much time have you got?
- Excuse me, I have lives to save.
- Okay.
Hey, Dr. Charles, you
got a broken arm in 6.
Groovy. On my way.
Daniel, these budget
cuts are killing me.
Do you know if Sharon has any ideas?
I don't know. Give her a call.
What, haven't you spoken to her?
Uh, you know, we kind
of keep missing each other
since she stepped down for
the investigation, you know?
Something going on with those two?
No one knows for sure,
but I got a bad feeling,
about a lot of things.
[CLATTERING]
You're absolutely right, Doris.
This has gotta stop.
Sloan, the ED is drowning.
We need to call in more staff.
It's always a pleasure
to see you, Dr. Archer.
Well, you cut multiple
shifts just to save pennies.
Yes, and nurses are
offered incentive pay
to pick up those shifts as needed.
Only when you approve it.
You devalue my staff,
and to be perfectly candid,
you gamble the lives of the patients
we're supposed to be helping.
You know what I've
found in my experience,
is everyone resists change.
Everyone thinks it's not possible
until all of a sudden
they realize that it is.
Oh, that's so inspiring.
Did you read that on a pillow?
That's funny.
I really do enjoy your humor,
but we're not changing anything.
Good to know.
I get it.
You miss Sharon Goodwin.
Oh, Sharon Goodwin's coming back.
Of course.
Taking this deal not only provides you
with a sizable payout,
it also means Gaffney
would not seek criminal charges,
thereby avoiding a
permanent and damaging stain
on your otherwise impeccable record.
It also means you'd be
free to pursue employment
in the same capacity
elsewhere, with nothing
but the highest
recommendation from Gaffney.
As I have said many
times over the last month,
I did not leak Dr. Rabari's
medical records
in violation of HIPAA.
I have evidence showing otherwise.
And you've been saying that for months.
So let's see this evidence,
and let's see it right now.
Show our hand before
trial? I don't think so.
But I can promise you that
it will leave you in disgrace.
You want me gone, and
clearly you're willing to pay for it.
But what I still can't
figure out is why,
because you have never had
an issue with my work ethic.
So could it be because of my age,
- or because I'm Black?
- Sharon.
You have 36 hours
to cool off and be smart.
Time's up, Sharon.
Can you take the UTI in Treatment 5?
If we can keep a steady
pace over the next hour,
we might just have
a shot at catching up.
- Do not jinx it.
- Oh, yeah, right.
[GASPS] June bug alert.
- Surprise.
- Mabel.
How mad would you be if I
actually ate these cheeks?
- Do you wanna?
- Yes!
What brings you in, Dr. Asher?
Oh, well, Dean is pulling a double,
so I brought him fresh coffee and food.
So does that mean you and
Dr. Archer are living in sin?
Oh, no, no, no. That's rude.
Treatment 5 is waiting. Come on.
Thank you. But
seriously, what's the deal?
We are co-parenting at my condo.
Oh, with benefits?
I have no energy for benefits, Doris.
Car just pulled up.
30-year-old female with multiple GSWs.
I jinxed it. Okay. Bye, baby.
- Oh, nugget.
- Say bye-bye.
Hey, Mabel's okay?
Yeah, Mabel's great.
We're great.
- [SIREN WAILING]
- Talk to me, Dr. Wu.
Shots fired inside church
during patient's wedding.
- Okay, I got you.
- Trauma 3.
This is horrible.
Two GSWs through and
through on the right shoulder.
Wound in the abdomen.
I didn't see another hole.
- Please don't let me die.
- You're at the hospital.
We're gonna take good care of you.
All right, let's go. Come on, let's go.
Your wife have any medical history?
Take any meds?
- Got any allergies?
- No clue.
I'm just the best man.
How many other
shooting victims are there?
Maybe two dozen?
Some guy rushed in with a semiautomatic,
sprayed bullets everywhere.
I don't know how I didn't get hit.
I drove Tamar here.
I was scared she was gonna
die waiting for an ambulance.
You did good.
Did good. Dr. Wu?
- I got this.
- All right. Come with me.
Come on. Brian?
Come on, go with Brian.
Down there.
Doris, we've got a
Mass shooting, I know.
Brick's blowing up.
At least a dozen guests
are en route by ambulance.
Who knows who's gonna
show up on their own?
Okay. Let's go.
I can still hear the scream.
Court, Trauma 2.
- Is that Tamar?
- Sutton Pollard, 32 years old.
GSW to the left chest.
Needle decompress for
decreased breath sounds.
BP 95/60. Heart rate 120.
I gave her a liter of crystalloid
for hypotension en route.
- Pulse ox is 86.
- Skin's clammy and pale.
She's already lost a
liter or two of blood.
Dr. Archer, Dr. Charles
is running triage.
Dr. Tanaka-Reed is moments away,
and I left a voicemail with Dr. Johnson.
Get every available body you can find.
Yeah. That's a beautiful dress.
It's gorgeous. I just pushed fentanyl.
- Want me to call for MTP?
- Yes.
Breath sounds bilateral.
Lung sliding present bilateral.
No pericardial effusion.
I don't see any free fluid
in the upper abdomen.
Well, then where the
hell did the bullet go?
There it is.
It's in the uterus.
Oh.
She's eating for two.
- Get Hannah here now.
- Yeah.
- Evie, Trauma 1.
- How about a doctor?
Doctor in the house. Talk to me.
Alyssa Garcia's 22.
She tripped while trying
to escape the gunman
and got trampled by everyone behind her.
BP 129/77.
Decreased breath sounds on the left.
Pulse ox 86.
I feel like I can't catch my breath.
I gave her 50 mics
of fentanyl on the rig.
Please, please make the pain stop.
It barely made a dent.
I promise we'll manage
your pain, Alyssa.
Uh, Kacy, push one of Dilaudid
and get an X-ray tech in here.
- Roger that.
- Dr. Tanaka-Reed, your backpack.
I got the first MTP pack.
She, unfortunately, never got that far.
[SUSTAINED TONE]
She bled out once we
released the hemothorax.
Time of death 13:17.
The bullet lodged in the uterine lining
and missed the fetus by a centimeter.
Baby's moving.
She's about 23 weeks.
I told Dr. Archer it was 23 weeks,
but he swore it was 24 weeks.
Oh, well, we're right. He's wrong.
Oh.
Okay, so the plan should be
C-section to deliver the baby
and remove the bullet
at the same time, right?
We don't wanna tempt the Grim Reaper
with a nasty infection?
Delivering early is a big risk,
so we wanna order a CT of the abdomen
to ensure that the
bullet didn't hit anything
other than the uterus.
Then we can make an informed decision.
You are pretty badass, Dr. Asher.
Well, thank you.
I think we're good here, Dr. Wu.
I'm sure Doris needs you somewhere.
Uh-huh. Get lost.
I'm going, I'm going.
Who was that? I like her.
Oh, Annie Wu.
Fourth-year.
Smart, cocky, total pain in the ass.
Yeah, I'm familiar with the type.
Ha. Thanks for your help.
So who's doing the surgery?
Well, I'm waiting
for Dr. Lovell to call,
but as you can see,
I'm a tad bit slammed.
Well, I could do it.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
Let's get Tamar up to scan.
Dr. Frost.
Dakota Cross, 8, struck
her head on a church pew
as her mom shoved her under
to protect her from the shooter.
Okay, Treatment 4.
Mommy told me to close my
eyes and keep them closed.
Likely concussion, stable vitals.
BP, 110/65.
Heart rate 75. Pulse ox is 99.
Dakota, we're gonna move
you over to the bed, okay?
- One, two, three.
- Okay.
Hey, Dakota, I'm Dr. Frost.
Are you feeling dizzy at all?
Like you need to throw up?
A little. Can you help me find my mommy?
I don't know where she is.
What's her name?
Edith Janice Cross.
Okay, we'll find her for
you. Are you her father?
No, I'm the wedding guitar player.
I found Dakota curled up under a pew.
- Bruno saved me.
- Okay.
I'm going to remove your bandage
to take a look at your
cut. You good with that?
All right.
Okay.
Looks worse than it is.
Head wounds bleed a lot,
but it's clotting on its own,
so that's good.
Why is it still so dark?
Can you not see me right now?
I can't see anything.
- What's going on?
- It's okay.
We'll take a look real quick.
All right, both pupils
equal and reactive.
Let's get a CT head.
And can you page Dr. Abrams
for a Neurosurg consult?
- Yeah. Right away.
- Why can't I see?
Dakota, we're right here with you, okay?
And we're gonna figure this out.
But right now, what I want
you to do for me is just imagine
your mom's face in your mind.
- Can you do that?
- Okay.
Okay. Breathe.
Bruno, I'd like Dr. Ripley to
take a look at your neck wound.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
You promise to come back, Bruno?
Hey, yeah.
I pinky swear.
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]
We'll be right back, Dakota.
I wish you could be
just a little more helpful.
I'm literally trying to help you.
What seems to be the problem?
Mrs. Sutherland is frustrated.
The news says that nine
of the shooting victims
have been pronounced
dead, yet no one can seem
to tell me the hell where my son is.
I completely understand your
frustration, Mrs. Sutherland.
I'm Dr. Charles. What
is your son's name?
Dexter.
Dexter Sutherland, and he is the groom.
You know, I haven't seen that name yet.
Could have been taken
to another hospital though.
- Or he could be dead.
- Let's not go there yet.
All right? Why don't you let
me see what I can find out.
And then as soon as I know anything,
I'll get back to you, okay? I promise.
That would be great.
Where am I? What's happening?
Hey, hey, hey, you are safe, Tamar.
I am Dr. Asher. You are
at Gaffney Chicago Med.
- Lean back.
- I I don't understand.
You were shot at the wedding.
- Do you not remember that?
- Oh, my God.
Oh, my God. No.
No, I I'm pregnant.
I already know about your baby.
You have to check and
make sure my baby's okay.
- Did the bullet
- No, it completely missed her.
And she's looking great
on the ultrasound right now.
What do you mean by "right now"?
Your CT did show some
free fluid in your abdomen,
which means we'll need
to perform a laparotomy
to make sure that the bullet
didn't hit a loop of intestine
before lodging in your uterus.
- So I need surgery?
- You do.
Is my baby gonna be all right?
I am very hopeful that she will be.
- Wait, what about Dexter?
- Who?
My fiancé, Dexter
Sutherland. Is he okay?
I have not heard that
name, but some patients
were delivered to East Mercy,
so I will keep an eye out for him.
Oh, my God, what if what if he's
Hey, hey, listen to me, Tamar.
There's a lot of confusion right now,
so let's not draw any
conclusions yet, okay?
- Why did he do this to me?
- Why did who do this?
Henry.
I always knew he'd had a temper.
I I didn't think he was
capable of anything like this.
Wait, are you telling me that
you know who the shooter is?
Well, don't the police already know?
Not yet.
Who's Henry?
He's my ex-boyfriend.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
His name is Henry Cyrus Murphy.
We met in college, dated for six years.
He was my first love.
But over time, he became
increasingly possessive.
Eventually, I had to break it off.
How did he take that?
He couldn't accept it.
Tried to worm his way back into my life
until I told him I was engaged.
I thought he'd finally moved on.
I was wrong.
And now people have
paid for it with their lives.
No, no, no.
Tamar, you can't put that on yourself.
That's
Why don't we take a break?
Have you heard from Dexter?
No.
His phone is turned off.
And I'm still waiting to
hear if he's at East Mercy,
but we should know soon.
While I was waiting for
the wedding to start, I
I heard a commotion, so I ran out,
and Henry started firing at people.
[SIGHS] I didn't see Dexter anywhere.
Oh, my God.
Okay, why don't
why don't you step out
so Tamar and I can discuss
her treatment options privately?
Is that what you want, Tamar?
You can stay, but
[SIGHS] You should know I'm pregnant.
Oh.
[SOFT MUSIC]
How far along?
23 weeks.
I can't believe Dexter didn't tell me.
Well, he didn't know either.
But I wanna tell him myself.
Okay?
Tamar, before we begin surgery,
you need to make a decision
about whether to deliver
your baby and remove
the bullet while I'm in there.
Do you think I should?
It's the safest course of action
to help prevent you
from getting infected
- from the bullet.
- I'm sorry.
Isn't delivering 17 weeks
early a high risk for the baby?
Respiratory distress syndrome
would be a major concern
amongst others, but while it is true
that the baby's lungs
aren't yet fully developed,
steroids would help
lower the pulmonary risk
of prematurity, which would actually
increase the odds of survival.
Tamar, what would you like to do?
I want my baby safe.
Let's deliver.
Look, Tamar, I know this
I know this is a tough decision,
and I know you're scared,
but you have to think
like a mother right now.
That means doing whatever you have to do
to protect your child.
Sometimes that means sacrifice.
I am thinking of my child
my child.
Did you find my mommy?
Not yet, but I am on top of it.
I promise.
I'm here with Dr. Abrams
from Neurosurgery.
Dakota, I'd like to do a quick eye exam,
if that's okay with you.
I guess, yeah.
I'm holding a striped
drum in front of your eyes,
and it's gonna tell me
how much light is getting in.
You're gonna hear it spin.
You just keep still and
look straight ahead.
- You ready?
- Ready.
[DRUM RATTLING]
Dakota's eyes are working normally.
She is functionally blind,
but that's purely a traumatic reaction.
- I'll ask Dr. Charles to talk to her.
- No, no, no.
Let's not put her through the
talk torture machine just yet.
First, I'd like to try
transcranial magnetic stimulation.
It might provide the physical nudge
her brain needs to
promote normal functioning.
And restore her vision.
You were very lucky today.
Another centimeter, and lights out, huh?
It can do a number on you.
I would like you to speak
with our social worker.
Trust me, I am way past playing out
what-if scenarios in my head.
That's a very positive attitude.
Well, I should be dead ten times over.
I wasted decades petty
crime, grand theft auto, robbery,
you name it.
I've been there.
Really?
Just didn't see that coming.
Look at you now.
It took me a lot
longer to quit that life,
you know, find some peace.
Peace is the hard part for me.
Can't shake the past?
No, it's just I see a lot of loss here.
That's the part that's
getting harder to shake.
[ELEVATOR DINGS]
- Hi, there.
- Daniel.
You know, I really
think that we should talk.
I really do.
I told you, I need space right now.
I'm worried about you.
- Look, you can't fix this.
- [ELEVATOR DINGS]
So just leave it alone.
Have you found Dexter?
Not yet, unfortunately.
Just so terrified he's gone.
No, no, no, no. Hey,
we don't know that yet.
[SIGHS] Yeah.
Yeah, that's right.
I know he's fine.
And and he'd want this.
- Keep us safe.
- He does. He does.
- Okay?
- Mm-hmm.
- You ready?
- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.
- All right.
[KNOCKING]
Hi.
Any chance of discharging
some of our patients
with minor injuries?
No, I'm not comfortable with that.
In a mass shooting scenario,
it's best to keep patients
close for several hours
in the event that any missed injuries
- become life threatening, so
- Okay.
I'm just asking a question.
Or it sounds like Miranda's
asking the questions.
Okay. [CHUCKLES]
I see how it is easy for
you to cast me as the enemy
in your internal drama, but trust me,
- I care about our patients as much as you do.
- Okay.
I just don't have the luxury
of ignoring the bottom line.
And honestly, neither do you,
because a closed hospital helps no one.
Hmm. That sounds like fearmongering.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Jackson Monroe closed two years ago.
Do you want Gaffney to be next?
Wow.
You and Ms. Sloan are
already besties, I can see.
She's an amateur.
What can I say? I miss Sharon.
Tell me about it.
Daniel, what's going on?
What the hell happened to you two?
I wish I knew.
What are you talking about?
You guys are actually besties.
Are you telling me that something
Can you help me find my fiancée?
Mr. Sutherland.
Dexter, Dexter, oh, my God.
Oh, my God. Oh, I thought I'd lost you.
Where's Tamar?
She's in surgery, being treated
for a gunshot wound to the abdomen.
Oh, my God. Is she gonna be okay?
We're cautiously optimistic,
but Dr. Asher can give you
the latest when you go up there.
Honey, I'll take you upstairs, okay?
I'm okay with that as
long as you bring him
right back down here
so I can give him a quick once over.
Come on.
[SOFT TENSE MUSIC]
Did you notice that Dexter didn't even
- have a scratch on him?
- I sure did.
Which has got me wondering,
I mean, if he hasn't been injured,
where the hell has he
been for the last three hours?
So, are you ready, Dakota?
You worried about your mom?
I'm scared I'll never see her again.
Look, I know you are,
but you know what I've learned
since becoming a doctor?
What?
Well, it's that you
have to stay positive
until you're given a reason not to be.
Focus on hope, Dakota.
So now you're gonna
feel like a tiny woodpecker
is lightly tapping on your head.
And that's only so it can
send magnetic pulses
to your brain to encourage
your eyes to work.
The machine is a little noisy.
You got this.
[COMPUTER BEEPS]
[MACHINE HUMMING]
It's okay.
[WHIRRING]
Please make it stop! I want my mommy!
- Where is she?
- Dakota. Dakota.
If you wanna stop
the test, I totally get it,
but I also think it might help you.
It made me hear the
pops and screams again.
I know. I know.
But you're safe now, okay?
We should stop the test.
No.
[SIGHS] Let's try again.
[COMPUTER BEEPS]
[MACHINE HUMMING]
So, Dexter, thankfully,
you are physically uninjured.
Look, I'm gonna be straight with you.
Nobody knows where you
were for the last three hours.
Right? Your loved ones
have been freaking out.
So do you mind me asking
you where you've been,
what you were doing?
I wasn't there.
I don't understand.
[SIGHS] What I'm saying is
I never actually drove to the church.
Oh, okay.
I just
[PENSIVE MUSIC]
Cold feet?
Yeah.
[SIGHS]
I turned my phone off, drove around.
I didn't know about the shooting
until I turned my phone back on later.
Any idea why you did that?
My father built a very
successful plastics company.
When he died, Mom sold it for a fortune.
Tamar doesn't come from money,
so my mom became convinced
that she was looking for a soft landing.
Needless to say, you didn't agree.
Of course. Absolutely.
At least I thought I didn't.
But the moment that I
realized Tamar might be dead
[SIGHS]
I knew without a doubt
how much I loved her
and how stupid I'd been.
Yeah, well, you know,
crises also have a way
of kind of stripping away all the noise
and letting us know how we
really feel about something,
you know, or someone.
Will she ever forgive me?
I mean, I wouldn't.
What can I do?
I mean, Dexter, there's really only
one thing you can do,
right? You gotta talk to her.
Tell her you love her,
and, uh, tell her the truth.
Bruno.
Hey, I got your discharge paperwork,
some dressings for your neck,
and I called the prescriptions
- into your pharmacy.
- Oh, thanks for that.
Oh, and I just gave my
statement to Detective Cho.
Then you are good to go.
Nah, I think I'm gonna
stick around for Dakota.
Dr. Frost says you're
Dakota's guardian angel.
[CHUCKLES] She's mine, truth be told.
Dakota is a sweet kid.
I just hope she forgets all about today.
She'll remember you.
That I'm sure of.
- Thanks again, Doc.
- Yeah.
[ENGINE REVVING]
[GLASS SHATTERING] [TIRES SCREECHING]
[SCREAMING]
Bruno!
[TENSE MUSIC]
[GROANING]
I wanna kill her.
- Ah! Ah!
- What did you do?
[PANTING] Tamar stopped loving me.
Tamar?
So I shot everyone.
What the hell did you do?
[GASPING, CHOKING]
[TENSE MUSIC]
- I can't hear breath sounds.
- Yeah.
Broken ribs may have caused a pneumo.
Clavicle's broken too.
Gurney, now!
[GASPING]
- All right, needle's in.
- Okay, pulse ox at 91.
All right, needle is only temporary.
He needs a chest tube.
Can we get him some
sedation to take the edge off?
Excellent plan.
Let's push 35 milligrams of ketamine.
Yeah, I'll grab it.
- Just let me die.
- Don't tempt me.
Sorry ish.
[GASPING] Can't breathe.
Having trouble getting
a BP. Heart rate 140.
- Pulse ox down to 84.
- [ALARMS BEEPING]
Mr. Murphy, did you take
any illegal substances today?
Was it meth or cocaine, Henry?
No, nothing.
- He's lying.
- Ketamine.
- It's coming, Dr. Ripley.
- Come on.
Come on! Wait for the ketamine.
Come on. Wait.
[GROANING]
Hang on!
[SCREAMING]
- I'm already in the chest.
- [SCREAMING]
[PANTING]
Tube's in.
[MONITORS BEEPING RAPIDLY]
Breath sounds bilateral.
What the hell was that?
Pulse ox up to 95,
hemodynamics improving.
He's alive, isn't he?
Hey, hey. Mitch, hey.
Did I hear right?
The wedding shooter crashed
his car into the waiting room?
He came to finish what he started.
What, is he dead?
No, he, um, killed Bruno instead.
- I'm sorry.
- What?
[SIGHS] It was it was quick.
I don't think I don't think
he knew what was coming.
[SIGHS]
How am I gonna tell Dakota?
John, it gets worse.
East Mercy located Dakota's mom, Edith.
Yeah, she was trampled. She was
- [EXHALES SHARPLY]
- She didn't make it either.
Come on, man.
[SOLEMN MUSIC]
It's too cruel of a day
for one eight-year-old girl.
Oh, it's too cruel of a day for anyone.
It's terrifying how many
disturbed individuals
there are in this world.
Disturbed individuals?
Like Tamar?
She's pregnant, Dexter.
What?
She's got you on the hook now.
I tried to warn you,
but the baby is gonna be fine.
We are gonna raise it right.
I need you to leave, Mom.
I am not trying to be mean.
People take, and they
often use the word "love"
when they do. I know, believe me.
It has happened to me.
I have done everything I
can to protect you from that.
And now we have to protect the baby.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
Dr. Wu.
- Annie.
- Hey.
Sorry, what's up?
Did you deliberately make
our patient suffer back there?
Um, no.
No, if I remember correctly,
I was saving his life.
You didn't wait for the ketamine.
Well, there wasn't time.
His sats were in the toilet.
I only needed five more seconds.
And his vitals were through the roof.
I mean, he could have
stroked with a BP that high.
I made a call, and you ignored it.
That is unacceptable.
Do you understand me?
I would never do what
you're accusing me of.
Do no harm, remember?
I don't believe you.
What is your deal?
You've been on a rampage all day.
You you are out of line.
You know what I think?
I think you saw what you wanted to see.
I think you enjoyed
seeing that POS in pain.
[TENSE MUSIC]
So own it.
Don't take it out on me.
I am your attending.
Don't ever talk to me that way again.
Hey, I've got great news, Tamar.
The baby is doing okay.
Everything went well.
Now, it did get a little dicey,
but I was able to
pivot, remove the bullet,
and keep your baby in the womb.
So now I can carry to term?
If the next few days go okay,
then we should be in a good place.
Thank you, Dr. Asher.
You did great through all of this.
- Tamar.
- Oh, my God.
Dexter?
Where have you been?
- Are you really here?
- I'm really here.
Oh, Dex, so many of
our friends were hurt,
and some are
I know, Tamar. I know.
But Henry is in custody,
and our baby is okay.
She told you about the baby?
Birdie ruins everything.
Tamar, there's something
I have to tell you.
[SIGHS]
I wasn't at the church today.
I don't understand.
I wasn't sure about us.
You weren't sure about marrying me?
[SIGHS] Oh.
You let her get in your head.
Maybe you're more like
her than you want to admit.
I hope that's not true.
[SOLEMN MUSIC]
I'm sorry. I messed up.
You did mess up.
[SIGHS]
Can you ever forgive me?
Dr. Asher, aren't visitors family only?
That's correct.
You heard her.
Family only.
Dakota.
Hey, it's Dr. Frost.
Listen, there's something
I need to talk to you about.
What's wrong?
Is it about my mom?
Dr. Frost, hang on.
I got Dakota's mom on FaceTime.
Mommy?
- What do you mean?
- Mix-up.
There was another patient
with the last name Cross
at East Mercy.
I'm here, Dakota.
And I am just so incredibly
relieved to see you.
I was so scared I lost you, Mommy.
Same here, sweetheart.
I am so sorry we got separated.
It's okay. My friend
Bruno carried me out.
We rode in the ambulance together.
Dr. Ripley told me about Bruno.
Dr. Frost, can you find Bruno
so he can meet my mommy now?
Dakota
Sweetie, Dr. Ripley says
Bruno has already gone home.
But I didn't get to say goodbye.
Dr. Frost
will you please call Bruno
and tell him thank you
for saving my little goose?
We owe him the world.
Uh, yeah. Of course I will.
So when can I see you, Mommy?
Soon.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Oh, excuse me.
- Hey.
- Hey.
How's our girl?
I think she's doing good.
The L&D nurses took turns watching her,
which was very, very sweet of them.
Yeah.
Well, you picked a hell
of a day to plan a visit.
Yeah.
Today was a whirlwind.
[BABY BABBLING]
It made me realize just
how much I miss my job.
Three more weeks, and
then you're back here.
No, I
I think I'm back-back.
Well, I'm glad for that.
Hey.
Hey, will everybody
gather around, please?
I wanna say a few words.
Listen, everybody did
outstanding work today.
12 people sadly lost their lives,
but there would have been a
lot more if not for the people
standing here in this room.
So I wanna say that I'm
proud to work by your side.
Shall we say a prayer?
Actually, I'd like to
take a moment of silence
to remember and
reflect on those patients
who didn't make it.
We we owe them that.
[BABY BABBLING]
Okay, thanks. Thank you.
[SOMBER MUSIC]
I can't stop playing it over in my head.
Bruno was alive, and then he was gone.
And you're wondering
why it was him and not you.
I'm wondering why a guy survives
a mass shooting only to
be run over by the shooter
a few hours later.
There is no why.
It just was.
And even though he'd
been grazed by a bullet,
he still made sure he got
an injured eight-year-old girl
- to the hospital safely.
- Mitch.
What?
It's okay to be happy
that you're still alive.
I'm happy we're
both still alive, Caitlin.
And I hope we will be for a long time,
but even if we're not,
we still have right now.
Yeah, we have right now.
But, you know, if you had died,
then I would be single in Zurich
during my three-month
sabbatical to visit family.
You mean your prion drug trial?
Details.
I mean, either way, I'd
still be coping with grief.
Yeah, no doubt drowning in
meaningless sex with strangers.
Only because I miss you so much.
Nope, not funny.
I mean, it's a little funny, right?
I think if today taught
me anything, It's
it's that I could die long before you.
I mean, we keep assuming the opposite,
but life is
it's so much more
fragile than that, isn't it?
You really need to stop
co-opting my existential angst
'cause that's my thing,
and I want you to get
your own thing, Mitch.
You know, if we were the kind of couple
that said "I love you" a lot
I'd probably say it now.
Good thing we're
not that kind of couple.
It's gross.
[KNOCKING]
Doris.
Is everything okay?
Um, please don't take Miranda's deal.
How did you know?
It was me, Ms. Goodwin.
It was you what?
I leaked Dr. Rabari's medical file.
