00:00You want to know my superpower?
00:08You mean other than regularly saving people's lives?
00:12I have naturally warm hands.
00:14Patients seem to appreciate that.
00:16Warm hand, man.
00:19Communication.
00:21I can get through to just about anyone.
00:23Of course, they have to speak English.
00:25I'm not going to learn another.
00:27But also, I have this amazing capacity for breath control.
00:32Check this out.
00:38Captive Bolt stunning.
00:40Giving Kettle the old...
00:42It's kind of my thing back home.
00:44I'm in super power as a nurse.
00:47Oh, um...
00:50Super power?
00:52Man, I hate this question.
00:54Like, if we're superhuman, then you don't have to,
00:56I don't know, pay us a living wage or care about our needs.
00:59It just reduces us to this ideal.
01:01But we're human beings.
01:03So...
01:04I don't know.
01:05It's kind of a silly question.
01:06X-ray vision.
01:08I could bare eye, a busted limb,
01:10and I'll tell you what's wrong nine times out of ten.
01:12And I can't fly, but I can jump so far.
01:15Uh...
01:16Pushed it too hard.
01:19Whew, I'm dizzy now.
01:22I worked hard to become an oncologist,
01:25and leaving to run this place was a sacrifice.
01:27But I did it because I want St. Denis to be a world-renowned destination hospital.
01:32This is my vision.
01:34Uh...
01:35Surprisingly hard to find magazines,
01:36but it's not the same way.
01:37But I did it because I want St. Denis to be a world-renowned destination hospital.
01:41This is my vision.
01:47and leaving to run this place was a sacrifice,
01:50but I did it because I want St. Denis
01:53to be a world-renowned destination hospital.
01:56This is my vision.
02:00Surprisingly hard to find magazines these days.
02:02I had to drive all the way to the airport,
02:04but the point is I needed $8 million
02:08to kick this whole thing off,
02:10but I got $10 million.
02:14Well, I got $10 million.
02:19I got $10 million, okay?
02:21I heard about that.
02:23Guess anesthesiology is finally getting a new Primus machine?
02:27You always said when we have the money, right?
02:31Yes.
02:32Let's do it.
02:33All right, love it.
02:35Big J coming through.
02:36Big J.
02:39Nickname's embarrassing.
02:44It's a lot today, huh?
02:47Everyone's wet and pissed.
02:49It's like old G.O.D.'s having a good cry today.
02:51Incoming!
02:52Oh!
02:53Why is it so bright in here?
02:54What do we got?
02:55Oh, my God.
02:56Where's McSievy?
02:57Party blessed to get it off the road.
02:58Multiple contusions, possible head trauma.
03:01Girl, the seatbelt literally crushed my boobs.
03:03Like, literally, I had to check if they were still there.
03:05Okay, okay, uh, see if there are any open beds and still be...
03:07Oh, these filled up. We got spillover in the hallway.
03:10The storm is killing us. Where the hell is Alex?
03:12Who's Alex?
03:13Who's Alex?
03:14She's off. Callie took her shift.
03:15Where's Callie?
03:16She couldn't get in because of the rain. Said her bridge washed out.
03:18Do you think Riley's gonna be mad at me?
03:20I do. I think that's very likely.
03:22Oh, my God!
03:28I'm here as a civilian.
03:29Tim is doing something wonderful for our family.
03:32Vasectomy time. V-day.
03:34Actually, can I redo that? I don't want to be insensitive to the troops.
03:37Oh, they don't care, huh?
03:38Really?
03:39Well, uh, yeah. We, uh, we took a lot of time to talk it through.
03:42Yeah.
03:43Our kids are older, so we imagined going back to the baby stage,
03:45and it was, uh, pretty funny how bad it seems.
03:48Total nightmare.
03:49I'd rather be dead.
03:50Yeah, me first.
03:52Whoa.
03:53Hmm.
03:54You a little nervous about the procedure?
03:56A little bit.
03:57Yeah.
03:58Sensitive area.
03:59Oh. Charleston Chu?
04:01Oh, yes, please. Thanks.
04:02There you go.
04:03Today is Tim Day.
04:05I promise to be by his side the whole day with unlimited candy,
04:08and then later we're gonna watch a whole docu-series about the New England Patriots.
04:11Mmm. Love to hate them.
04:13I don't know.
04:14Oh, plus, he gets to choose a sci-fi book and explain the plot to me.
04:17And you'll ask questions, right?
04:18Yes. Yes. I'm gonna seem very interested.
04:21I got patients praying in old pews.
04:23We need new pews. Pleather, maybe.
04:25Well, a request from you is like a request from him.
04:30So, your pleather is my pleasure.
04:33Thank you, Joyce.
04:34You're the best.
04:35Big J does it again.
04:36Boom!
04:37Heck, yes, he does.
04:38Trust me, these are gonna look fire.
04:40You may approach.
04:41Someone's gotten popular lately.
04:44Feels so good to say yes to my people.
04:475,000 here, 10,000 there.
04:49Done.
04:50It's worth it.
04:51Everyone wants a piece of Big J, and I'm gonna give it to him.
04:55Big J, Big J, Big J, Big J, Big J, Big J!
04:59Hey, you see the line outside Joyce's office?
05:01Tin cans out, begging the queen for breadcrumbs.
05:04Please, miss, can I have a bowl of gruel?
05:07Who waits in line to grovel?
05:09Not me.
05:10I made an appointment.
05:11No.
05:12Ronnie, not you, too.
05:13For what?
05:14A dedicated CT scanner.
05:16Please, miss, can I have a dedicated CT scanner?
05:20Yeah.
05:21Works better with gruel.
05:22Do you know how many times I've had to sit here,
05:24long past my shift, waiting for scans to come back?
05:28Last Wednesday, I missed the top chef, Quick Fire.
05:31And they factor in the deliminations now.
05:34It's not right.
05:35Well, you won't see me kissing Joyce's butt, no, sir.
05:38Okay.
05:39I mean, what would it even take for me to lower myself?
05:42It'd have to be, I don't know, like a surgical amphitheater, you know?
05:47Where I could perform for doctors and journalists from across the globe.
05:52That could be a modern pantheon for the digital age.
05:57Yes.
05:58We'll see.
06:00Hold on.
06:01I'll be right in there, okay?
06:03Give me one second.
06:04Hey, Val.
06:05Alex, we need you to come in.
06:07There's no charge nurse.
06:08Oh, I wish I could, but I'm, I'm home.
06:13And, you know, with the storm and everything, my block is like a lake.
06:17I just don't see how I can make it over.
06:19So, this isn't you that I'm staring directly at right now?
06:23Uh, like what you see in there?
06:28Uh, not really.
06:29You have two of all's teeth with trauma to the socket.
06:32You have to be strong to be a nurse, right?
06:34I bet you work out a whole lot.
06:36No, not really a gym guy.
06:38Oh, he's being modest.
06:40He actually teaches ribbon aerobics on his days off.
06:43He was a state champ.
06:44Stop it.
06:45Uh, yeah, I actually have my own studio.
06:47It's called Matt's Ribbon Aerobics.
06:51And you have that great slogan.
06:53It like rhymes and everything.
06:54What was it again?
06:55Oh, sure do.
06:56Um, yeah, when I'm tired of sitting, I just play with my ribbon.
07:01Hey, sick person here.
07:03Pay attention to me.
07:05Who's that?
07:06Ugh, work.
07:07Don't want to come in.
07:08Can you believe that?
07:09Yes, I can.
07:10You said no, right?
07:11I said no way.
07:12I said this is Tim's day.
07:14I am not doing a shift.
07:15I said I could do a quick pop down.
07:17Alex.
07:18Just a quick pop, help him out right back up.
07:19Is that okay?
07:20I mean...
07:21Tell you what.
07:22I will play one of your board games.
07:23Any one you want.
07:24It's gonna have complicated rules and little tokens that you have to collect.
07:27And usually it takes like three hours to even set up.
07:28Sweetie, I'm only gonna be on for a minute.
07:29I promise.
07:30It'll be about the economics of a medieval French town.
07:32Okay.
07:33Yes.
07:34I love you.
07:35Love you too.
07:36Mm-hmm.
07:37Great.
07:38Well, look who came groveling after all.
07:40What?
07:41No.
07:42Just have a quick matter to discuss with Joyce.
07:44Joyce.
07:45Is it your insane amphitheater idea?
07:46No.
07:47It's...
07:48I have a patient coding.
07:49I know the whole thing.
07:50God damn it.
07:51Joyce.
07:52Joyce.
07:53Joyce.
07:54We need a dedicated...
07:55More important idea.
07:56Better idea.
07:57Not cheap, but I know we have it.
07:58Stop it.
07:59Stop it.
08:00Both of you.
08:01The money's gone.
08:03What?
08:04What happened?
08:05All 10 million.
08:06Um, I accidentally spent it all, plus a little bit more.
08:09Ouch.
08:10That is brutal.
08:12Though I doubt you'll be thinking about that when you're seated in the heart of our brand
08:16new surgical amphitheater.
08:18Hear me out.
08:21We can fit four more beds.
08:22Dakota, max out hallway space to the inch and no slips.
08:25Holly, keep that floor bone dry, all right?
08:27Matt, go grab a bunch of gowns, okay?
08:30You're my gown guy.
08:31I am gown guy.
08:32Okay.
08:33We've got a bachelorette party causing trouble.
08:36Um, home friends versus college friends?
08:38Yes, that's it.
08:39Keep the bride in the middle.
08:40Push the factions to opposite zones.
08:41There's also one rando in her 50s.
08:43I'm not sure what that's about.
08:46Oh, I'm Riley's Aunt Lori.
08:48Um, I was so surprised when I got the invitation, but then I met a girl here named Laura, and
08:55I realized it was probably an email mishap.
08:58I can't believe this.
08:59How did you promise away all that money?
09:01I was in a rhythm, okay?
09:04The rhythm is famously gonna get ya.
09:06And it got me.
09:07That's not a good answer.
09:08Okay, you want details?
09:09Yeah.
09:10Uh, let's see.
09:11Liz in ICU needs more beds.
09:12Um, Glickman cornered me about a new centrifuge he's had his eye on.
09:16There is no way we need all this stuff.
09:18I'll tell you how to free up some cash.
09:20No more security staff.
09:21We train everyone in Krav Maga.
09:23Bruce, we're not having the Krav Maga debate again.
09:26One sensei instead of a team of hapless morons.
09:29I'm looking for cuts, not adding senseis.
09:31One sensei.
09:32Oh my God.
09:33What about standing desks for the admin staff?
09:35Okay, I can't cut that.
09:36Vanessa high-fived me and she hates me.
09:39What we need is a dedicated CT scanner.
09:42Yeah, and if there's wiggle room after my amphitheater, I say we get one.
09:46What about what I want?
09:47This money was for me and my vision for this hospital.
09:51And now my vision is compromised.
09:53Is that the Nakatomi Plaza from Die Hard?
09:56I googled cool buildings.
09:58Arrest me.
09:59Hey, Stud.
10:00You should ask that toothless girl out when she sobers up.
10:03When she gets veneers, she's gonna be cute.
10:05Ah, yeah, she's not really my type.
10:07Well, what else we got?
10:09Waiter!
10:10Waiter!
10:11I like calling the nurse's waiter.
10:15Yeah, none of them are great.
10:17We'll figure you out, though.
10:20Guys, keep these lanes clear, okay?
10:22I want good flow.
10:24Oh, gosh.
10:25I gotta get back to Tim.
10:26Right after I lock this bed, which is something I have talked to Dakota about.
10:30Right, Dakota?
10:31You know, sometimes I really do feel like Superman.
10:34And Lois Lane is in trouble, but there's a bus full of kids about to fall off a cliff.
10:38You know?
10:39And, like, you can only save one.
10:41Unless you refuse to accept that, and you take the stairs to it at times so you can save both.
10:50That's a lot of stairs, though.
10:51I'm back.
10:52Okay, great.
10:53I'm a little freaked.
10:54No, he didn't think you were gonna make it in time.
10:57Hey, Rebecca.
10:58Oh, wow!
10:59You're shaving my husband.
11:00That's great.
11:04Am I crazy, or is Matt boyfriend material?
11:07There's gotta be a girl out there for him.
11:09Maybe even someone around here.
11:11He's kinda awkward, though.
11:13That's because he was homeschooled.
11:14I think in a cult.
11:16Hey, Matt.
11:17What's your type?
11:18Oh, um, I like a full back with a tie, but snap front is a close second.
11:22She means girls, Matt.
11:23Yeah, you like tall, short, blonde, brunette, black, white, Asian.
11:27Any of those are great.
11:28She could be Asian, I guess.
11:30I don't...
11:31Those are all great races to me, but...
11:33Okay, past lives.
11:34I see you.
11:35What else?
11:36Yeah, describe your ideal girl.
11:38Oh, uh, okay.
11:40She's...
11:42Pretty.
11:43Um, she's honest.
11:45She's really cool in, like, a traditional sense, but then also goofy sometimes.
11:50And, you know, gets what I do, because maybe she also works in the medical industry.
11:56Um...
11:57Okay, psycho.
11:58Specific much?
12:00I have to do gown things.
12:06Shaving a bit far outside the zone, no?
12:09Well, you gotta blend it, or else it's gonna look weird.
12:11You don't have to blend it.
12:13Actually, thank you.
12:14Mm-hmm.
12:15Alex, are you...
12:16Oh, hi, Tim.
12:17Lock the door.
12:18I'm sorry, honey.
12:19The roads are flooded.
12:20They're rerouted from Kaiser.
12:21It's piling up again.
12:22We need you downstairs.
12:23Well, I can't...
12:27Maybe I can pop down just for a second.
12:28Oh, come on, Alex.
12:29I promise I will be back by your side for the cutting part.
12:31I guess.
12:32Do what you gotta do.
12:33Okay, thank you, baby.
12:34Thank you, thank you.
12:35Okay, I'll be back, okay?
12:37Promise, promise.
12:39So, 114 and 116 are cleared.
12:41We're getting back on track, but let's not get cocky, okay?
12:44We want purposeful rounding.
12:45What are you doing here?
12:46I thought you were Raj.
12:47I am.
12:48Yeah, Tim's up in neurology about to get snipped.
12:49I'm here with him.
12:50No, you're here talking to me.
12:52Raj, there is a person here talking to me, right?
12:55I'm going back and forth.
12:56Oh, a Mrs. Doubtfire situation.
12:58That always ends well.
13:00Uh-huh.
13:01I'm almost done, and then I'll head upstairs.
13:02Oh, I love that movie.
13:03It was a run-by fruiting.
13:05I think about that every day.
13:08Okay, uh, Ron?
13:10You've got that?
13:11Uh, guys, I am out.
13:12Okay, Dakota, can you take that from me?
13:14You guys have got this, okay?
13:15I have my cell phone.
13:18Oh, my God!
13:19Sir, are you okay?
13:20Okay, guys, call, uh, call Joyce and call, call Vince.
13:22What happened?
13:23Whoa, I was just standing in that exact spot, like Thursday or something.
13:28Oh, my God.
13:29Oh, my God.
13:34I'm gonna move the patients out of that zone, okay?
13:36Take all the equipment to the hallway.
13:38Uh, I'm several mil in the hole right now, Vince.
13:40So can you just tell me what, what am I looking at here?
13:43Well, insurance should cover the rain damage.
13:45Oh, insurance, okay.
13:46That's all right, that's pretty good.
13:47The problem is, is what it exposed.
13:48We got old wiring, asbestos.
13:50It's a big job.
13:51Ballpark it for me.
13:52What's this gonna cost?
13:53Two, maybe 300k?
13:54Oh.
13:55Or, I could take a shot at it.
13:56I'd get it up to 400k.
13:57Oh, this is so not fair!
14:03It's okay.
14:04I got you.
14:05Oh, my God.
14:06I just walked over to that spot a couple minutes ago.
14:08Wow.
14:09Another close call for Brucey.
14:11Excuse me, I need to sit down for a second.
14:13It's just gonna be a bit longer.
14:15I'm not trying to be a jerk here, but you did promise.
14:17Things just got a little out of hands down here.
14:19Uh, tell them that you're having second thoughts.
14:20They legally have to delay the procedure.
14:22I can't.
14:23Look, it's fine.
14:25They need you.
14:26I get it.
14:27No, hon, we can, um...
14:28We'll make tomorrow Tim day.
14:29And I'll just, uh...
14:31I'll knock this out of my own.
14:33Okay.
14:34Thank you, hon.
14:35Um, you're amazing.
14:37I love you.
14:42You good?
14:43Yeah.
14:44Tim's being really supportive of me not being able to be supportive.
14:49He's the best, so...
14:54Hey, is the doctor ever coming?
14:56Justin's been, like, wigging out.
14:58And I have to check into the Sheraton before midnight, or they're gonna charge my visa.
15:04She's having a reaction.
15:08Did you eat this?
15:09Oh, okay.
15:10Don't ask a woman what she ate.
15:12I was freaking starving, and there's nothing in here.
15:15She has a nut allergy.
15:16Oh, gosh!
15:17Should we get someone?
15:18No, it's okay.
15:19I'm someone.
15:20This has happened before.
15:22I know what to do.
15:24Orange side down.
15:25This is gonna hurt a little, all right?
15:30Does that feel better?
15:31Is that helping?
15:32Yeah.
15:33Yeah.
15:34I think so.
15:35Yeah.
15:36You saved your life.
15:37You're a good boy.
15:42All right.
15:43Joyce, here you go.
15:44If you're okay, I gotta go.
15:46There's a patient who needs...
15:47What a day, right?
15:48Yeah.
15:49Yep.
15:50Yeah, I really need to, um...
15:51I need...
15:52Stinky, smelly, turd of a day.
15:54Oh.
15:55Okay.
15:56What's wrong, Joyce?
15:58Oh, I care.
15:59Mm-hmm.
16:00That's what's wrong.
16:01Yeah.
16:02About this place, these people, and nobody understands what I go through.
16:06Mm-hmm.
16:07So what am I saying?
16:09You understand.
16:10Oh, yeah, I think I do.
16:12Yeah.
16:13Yeah.
16:14Well, you're the only one.
16:15Mm-hmm.
16:16You wanna know why?
16:17Because we're the same.
16:18Are we?
16:19Yeah.
16:20I mean, not exactly the same.
16:21Like, you're more, eh, I'm a lot.
16:24And fashion-wise, you're certainly on your own path.
16:27But when it comes to what we sacrificed for this hospital, yeah, we're the same.
16:32Okay, I do have nicer clothes.
16:33I just don't wear them until work.
16:34Some people just clock in, clock out, go home.
16:38Not us.
16:39Oh, no.
16:40This place is our everything.
16:41I mean, it's not everything.
16:44Everything.
16:45I mean, it's your day off.
16:48And you're here, Alex.
16:49Mm-hmm.
16:50It's okay to own it.
16:51Yeah.
16:52And, you know, later on, if you...
16:56If you want, I'm happy to download my thoughts on your makeup and clothes.
17:01Oh, my makeup, too.
17:05Serena!
17:06I gotta tell you about this.
17:07Okay, but real quick.
17:08Holly.
17:09Holly?
17:10Pretty cool and a nurse.
17:12I totally forgot about you guys dancing at the gala.
17:14You have to ask her out.
17:16Oh, uh...
17:18Yeah.
17:19Maybe, uh...
17:20I mean, not at work.
17:21If she's not into you, you'll look like a total loser.
17:24Yeah.
17:25No, that would...
17:26feel terrible.
17:27Yeah.
17:30Um, I think it might finally be time to take the hint.
17:33Less of a hint, more of a giant flashing neon billboard.
17:37Serena might be the girl of my dreams, but I am not the girl of her dreams.
17:42You know what I mean?
17:43And that's okay, because I was a good nurse today.
17:46So maybe that's what I should be crushing on.
17:48You know what would be really convenient right now?
17:50A CT scanner in the ED?
17:52Just saying.
17:53All right, Ron.
17:54I'll find the money, okay?
17:55What?
17:56Really?
17:57Well, someone ought to get something out of this, and it might as well be you.
18:00You know, Joyce, your vision board is nice, but I think our patients will be fine without
18:05a koi pond and a tower designed by Frank Geary.
18:08Look, I had a plan for this place.
18:11A real plan, and who cares?
18:15St. Dennis is never gonna be anything more than it already is, and I accept that now.
18:20All right, what was the plan?
18:22It's stupid.
18:23Fine.
18:24Okay, a birthing center.
18:26We'd be the only one in Oregon, outside of Portland.
18:29And then we could parlay our relationships with new moms to lift up other departments,
18:33like pediatrics, labor and delivery, and then a family care wing would be the natural extension
18:38of that.
18:39Oh.
18:40God, this is humiliating.
18:42Actually, it's kind of smart.
18:44It's a pipe dream, and we need actual pipes, so.
18:47All right, I can't believe I'm gonna say this, but you know what's best for this place,
18:53so forget about what I want and what everybody else wants.
18:57You have a vision, so just go for it.
19:02I think Matt's gonna ask out Holly.
19:05No, he's not.
19:06Why?
19:07I think they'd be cute.
19:08Okay, you're not actually a dumb person, so I don't feel bad saying this.
19:11He likes you, dumbass.
19:13Matt's in love with you.
19:17Wait, you didn't know that?
19:20Wow.
19:21Awkward.
19:22Aw, we gotta bring Matt back.
19:25Excuse me.
19:26Quick announcement.
19:28I am not going to be making good on any of the promises I made earlier.
19:33I'm going to do what I want to do, okay?
19:36So, if you want to hate me, go ahead and hate me.
19:39I don't care.
19:40Carry on.
19:42Alex, where should I put the guy with the collapsed one?
19:45Uh, ICU should take him.
19:46ICU's full.
19:47Ow, we're running low on O negative, just FYI.
19:49The lab results are taking forever.
19:50Can you call them?
19:51Alex?
19:52Um...
19:53No.
19:55I have to go.
19:56What?
19:57I'm going to go.
19:58You guys are going to figure it out.
19:59Uh, Serena's in charge.
20:00You got this.
20:01I know you do.
20:02Okay, Stella, get the collapsed lung to the recovery room.
20:03Use the ice down machine to be timed.
20:04I'm here.
20:05I'm here.
20:06You made it.
20:07Of course.
20:08You think I was going to miss this?
20:09I absolutely did.
20:10But I'm very glad you didn't.
20:11We had to do extra lidocaine because I was screaming.
20:14Oh, God.
20:15I'm sorry.
20:16We had to do extra lidocaine because I was screaming.
20:18Oh, God.
20:19I'm sorry.
20:20We had to do extra lidocaine because I was screaming.
20:23Oh, God.
20:24I'm sorry I wasn't here.
20:25You're here now?
20:26Haha.
20:27This is the first day of my life.
20:29I love you.
20:30Mmm.
20:31Alright.
20:32Have at me, Doc.
20:34You asked about the super power thing.
20:37I still think that's a dumb question.
20:39Sorry.
20:40But here's what I will say.
20:42In real life, you can't save Lois Lane and the bus full of kids.
20:45It's just not possible.
20:47Every day, we make choices and then we live with them.
20:52Sometimes it's just saying, you know, what am I failing at today and how can I make it better?
20:58There is no perfect balance and I'm never going to be everything to everybody.
21:04But here is what I am good at.
21:07Showing up.
21:10Every day, I will show up and I will try my best.
21:15Maybe that's better than x-ray vision.
21:17Or whatever.
21:18She said that?
21:20Better than x-ray vision.
21:22Uh, no.
21:23I don't think so.
21:24Showing up.
21:25It's stupid.
21:26It's not even close.
