00:00I'll play you on wild cards.
00:02Vivian?
00:03Where have you been for the past 15 years?
00:05On the run from Gideon Barga.
00:07So, Jessica, she seems great.
00:09Honestly, more than anything, it's just been really easy.
00:13Who are you?
00:13Tomo Hayashi, Barga's right hand.
00:15You are done with all the crime, right?
00:17Oh, yeah.
00:18You are going to steal us a diamond.
00:30I've been here all day.
00:31Please calm down.
00:31I'm in pain.
00:32I need to see a doctor.
00:34Why is it taking so long?
00:36Sir, I need you to calm down or I'm going to have a problem.
00:42How are things looking?
00:43Labs for the wife in exam five.
00:48Yeah, that's definitely going to ruin someone's day.
00:50Yep.
00:5220 says the intern face before lunch.
00:54Dr. Schaefer, the recommendation letters are due at five.
00:58Yeah, yours are done.
00:59But what does that mean?
00:59It means I wouldn't get your hopes up.
01:00Hey, we need to talk now.
01:03Okay, look, I know you're upset.
01:03Let's talk later.
01:04No, no.
01:05I said now.
01:05The nurse said that my wife's results are coming.
01:07What gives?
01:08Let's talk in private.
01:10I guess it's going to have to wait.
01:12Dr. Miller, pediatric.
01:14Dr. Miller, pediatric.
01:16That's total crap.
01:17You did the test wrong.
01:19Do it again.
01:19Dr. Schaefer, emergency trauma incoming.
01:22Yeah, let's just let him through.
01:24Here we got 40-year-old female, Kara Blake, T-boned by a pickup.
01:27Kara Blake, can you hear me?
01:30Number three.
01:30Number three.
01:31She can't seem to get a line.
01:33On my count?
01:34Three, two, one.
01:36Lift.
01:39BP is dropping.
01:46I thought your shift was over.
01:47You need an anesthesiologist, and Dr. Miller is stuck in the OR.
01:50Intern, stop taking notes.
01:52Prep for intubation.
01:54I need to see a doctor.
01:56Why is it taking so long?
01:58How much longer is this going to take?
02:00Sir?
02:01Sir?
02:02My arm's broken.
02:03I've been in that waiting room for eight hours.
02:06If you have patients in critical condition, I'm sure we can get you a painkiller.
02:08I need more than damn meds.
02:10Someone has to fix my...
02:12Make it off!
02:13Lock him in the patient's room.
02:15Trauma one.
02:16Just arrested.
02:20She might be hyper-colemic.
02:22Push up before start compressions.
02:23Follow with calcium gluconate.
02:50Okay, she's back.
02:52Okay, we got a pause.
02:54She's back.
02:57Here, Blake.
02:59You're going to be okay.
03:02Easy as 20 I'll make all week.
03:20Morning, Ricky.
03:21Where'd you go?
03:22Work.
03:23Oh, good.
03:24Good.
03:25I just mean, lately, things around here have been quite stressful, and we still don't
03:29have a working plan to steal the diamond.
03:30Ricky needs some peace and quiet to think.
03:33Oh, third person Ricky isn't good.
03:35Oh, hold on.
03:37Hi, Dad.
03:37Hey, where are you?
03:39On my way to work.
03:40Why, what's up?
03:40I'm on my way to your place?
03:42I'm on my way to your place.
03:42Oh, Dad, can you just hold on?
03:44Hey, Mom.
03:45Good morning, sweetheart.
03:46Where are you?
03:47I'm on my way to work.
03:49Oh, good.
03:49Well, I will drop these beignets by your place then.
03:52Oh, no, you don't have to do that.
03:54I'm off sugar for the week.
03:56Oh, please.
03:57You're probably eating a donut right now.
04:00Mom, hold on, okay?
04:02Dad, sorry.
04:03Your phone must allow a signal.
04:04Should I grab donuts, croissants, or the old favorite egg tarts?
04:07For what?
04:08For my parole officer.
04:09I'm meeting him at your place, remember?
04:11He thinks I'm living with you, not at the Ritz.
04:13Damn it.
04:15Is that a problem?
04:16Dad, hold on.
04:17Ricky?
04:18How long were you going to leave me hanging?
04:20Okay, Ricky, how committed are you to this day of silence?
04:22I don't like where this is going.
04:23Hold on.
04:24Mom?
04:25Damn it.
04:26Lost her.
04:28Hello?
04:29Wow, your phone is really acting up today.
04:31Anyway, I decided to go with egg tarts.
04:33Dad, how about you just call Mom?
04:35You haven't even sat down and spoken with her.
04:37Max, she lied to us.
04:38I know, but she's your wife.
04:40So how about you just take her out?
04:42Preferably somewhere far away from her.
04:43She's not my place.
04:44Hold on.
04:46Ricky?
04:46I swear, if one person crosses the threshold of our abode, Ricky is going to lose it.
04:53Learn to drive!
04:55Ricky does not need your negative energy right now.
04:58Okay, well, third person Ricky can kiss my...
05:08Hey, good morning.
05:11Is everything okay?
05:12Max is fine.
05:13It's just been a stressful morning.
05:15Oh, what happened?
05:17Things at home were a little hectic.
05:18Now that my dad's out and Ricky's while being Ricky.
05:21It's just a new normal to get used to.
05:23Whatever.
05:25Sorry.
05:27How are you?
05:28Good.
05:29Yeah, I slept great last night.
05:30And then this morning, Jess and I just kind of sat in silence and watched the sunrise.
05:33It's beautiful.
05:39I mean, I'm fine.
05:40The usual.
05:41Yeah.
05:41Go, go, go.
05:49Morning, Alice.
05:50I thought you're here at hospitals.
05:52I do.
05:53But I also have to go where they tell me.
05:54Do you?
05:55I do.
05:56It's called a job.
05:58Okay.
05:59Detectives.
06:00I'm Ray.
06:00Security.
06:01Come with me.
06:07In here.
06:15Looks like someone didn't like his bedside manner.
06:30I'm guessing we don't need a second opinion on this one.
06:33Multiple stab wounds to the chest.
06:35I count at least 15.
06:37At first glance, some deep, some superficial.
06:40That many stab wounds.
06:41This was personal.
06:42Emotional.
06:43Whoever went after this doctor must have been angry.
06:45Really angry.
06:47Any defensive wounds?
06:49None that I can see.
06:50But I'll do a more thorough check at the morgue.
06:52This guy looks at least six feet tall.
06:54Strange he wouldn't have fought back.
06:56The room's clean.
06:58No sign of a struggle.
06:59I don't get it.
07:00Why would you just stand there as somebody goes stabby, stabby on you 15 times?
07:05This guy was the chief of emergency medicine.
07:08The hell was he doing in some storage closet in the middle of his shift?
07:11For peace and quiet.
07:13A lot of our staff used that room to get a real break.
07:17That's why we put the cot in.
07:18Were you close with Dr. Schaefer?
07:21As close as you could be to a man like that.
07:25What do you mean?
07:26Dr. Schaefer ran the ER like a battlefield.
07:30Fast, efficient, no margin for error.
07:32You couldn't keep up.
07:33You didn't have a place here.
07:34Was anybody else there when you found the body?
07:36I was making rounds with another nurse.
07:38I told her to go for help.
07:40And I checked his pulse.
07:42And he was already dead.
07:45We'll need to confirm that with her.
07:50Hey, it's okay.
07:52I have my stress.
07:54Maybe I need one of those.
07:56Can you think of anyone who might have wanted to harm Dr. Schaefer?
07:59There was one thing this morning.
08:01Dr. Schaefer got into a physical altercation with a male patient.
08:04And security had to isolate the guy.
08:06Where is he right now?
08:08He's gone.
08:09I locked him in here.
08:10And when I checked on him later, the door was unlocked.
08:12I assumed Dr. Schaefer must have let him out.
08:14So I went back to work.
08:15You think he was violent enough to kill Dr. Schaefer?
08:17That's why we locked him up.
08:19All right.
08:20We're going to need to take a look at the CCTV footage.
08:26We've got a hostage situation.
08:33Give me something for the pain.
08:35Don't come any closer.
08:36I'm Detective Ellis.
08:37Okay, let's just take a breath here.
08:39What's your name?
08:41Darren.
08:42Okay, Darren.
08:43What do you need?
08:44I need someone to make the pain go away.
08:47Okay.
08:48Okay, we can make that happen, right?
08:50I'm going to need you to let her go first.
08:52I've been saying they're going to help me all day, but no one does!
09:00Is that a bedpan?
09:02Don't worry, it's clean.
09:06Maybe not.
09:13Is Max here today?
09:15Ah, she's out fighting crime, as usual.
09:17Helping to keep me on the straight and narrow.
09:19Oh, I know you're joking, but the support of family really is so important to any newly released parolee.
09:25Gentlemen, I present my Java the Nut Blend.
09:31A whisper of hazelnut from a galaxy far, far away.
09:36Thanks, Ricky.
09:37Oh, it smells delicious.
09:38I'll leave you two to talk.
09:40Thanks.
09:41Want to sit down?
09:44So, George, tell me, how's the job going?
09:49The job?
09:51Phone baby phone?
09:52Oh, that, yes.
09:55I didn't land that car wash gig.
09:56I got something much better lined up.
09:58Tell me more.
09:59Well, next week I started volunteering at Hemsworth Prison.
10:02It's a counseling program for inmates.
10:04Now, I know it doesn't pay, but...
10:05It's wonderful.
10:07George, I'm proud of you.
10:09Oh.
10:09I just figured it was time to start giving back.
10:12When can I get some meds?
10:14They're on the way.
10:16What is that?
10:17Stress ball.
10:17Did nurse scout give that to you?
10:19Yes.
10:20So, Darren...
10:21I'm so sorry.
10:22I didn't mean to hurt her.
10:23I just wanted some painkillers.
10:25Okay.
10:26Tell us about your injury.
10:28I fell off a high ladder a few days ago.
10:30The pain in my shoulder has gotten so bad, I can't work, and I barely sleep.
10:36At this point, I'd do anything to make it go away.
10:39Does that include murdering Dr. Schaefer?
10:41What?
10:43No.
10:45I didn't kill anyone.
10:47If I did, I'd be pretty stupid to stick her in the hospital, wouldn't I?
10:51It's Olive.
10:52She's got something.
10:54Okay.
10:54How about I go speak to her and you finish up with Darren?
10:56Sounds good.
10:58All right.
10:59How did you get out of this locked room that the security guard put you in?
11:02I heard a click, went to the door, and it was open.
11:06So I left.
11:10It can be hard readjusting to life on the outside.
11:13I mean, you spent so much time dreaming about getting out, getting back to your old life,
11:18but by the time you're released, your old life's gone.
11:21You've done this before.
11:22For more than 20 years, you are not alone, George.
11:25Don't think of me just as your parole officers.
11:28Think of me as your friend, as someone who wants you to succeed.
11:32Oh, thanks, Howard.
11:33I appreciate that.
11:33And it's okay to have mixed feelings about the very thing you've been dreaming of now that
11:37it's actually here.
11:39It is okay not to be okay.
11:42Well, thanks, Howard, but I really am okay.
11:45I'm glad to hear it.
11:47Can you stay for breakfast?
11:50I'm afraid not.
11:51Duty calls.
11:52I'll just show myself out.
11:58Oh, tell Max I'm sorry I missed her.
12:01And thank Ricky for the coffee.
12:03I will.
12:09I thought he'd never leave.
12:10I kind of like the guy.
12:11I feel like we're connecting.
12:12So, how are you coming along with the plans?
12:14I'm trying to make progress.
12:15Because Howard likes to drop by unannounced.
12:18I'm keeping them in here.
12:24Hmm.
12:24Smart.
12:25Mm-hmm.
12:25Yeah, skedaddle.
12:26I have work to do.
12:30And you know my process.
12:31Yes, I do.
12:32And I don't need to be here for that.
12:35I don't need to be here for that.
12:57See the incisions?
12:59What about it?
13:00The direction of the wound track combined with the external features of the entry points gave me the angle of
13:05attack.
13:05Damn it, Jim.
13:06Just give it to me straight.
13:09Bones.
13:10Dr. McCoy.
13:12Star Trek.
13:12I don't like science fiction.
13:13Okay, whatever.
13:14What does all this mean?
13:15It means that your killer is right-handed.
13:21Darren.
13:22Are you right-handed?
13:23Yeah.
13:24Why?
13:26What are you doing?
13:27Our killer is right-handed.
13:29He can't lift his right arm.
13:31Which means the killer's still out there.
13:45Yes, he was tough, but he pushed us to be our best.
13:48My old trainer always used to say that.
13:50Man, I hated that guy.
13:52Dr. Schaefer wasn't here to make friends.
13:53He was here to save lives.
13:55When was the last time you saw him?
13:56I was just clocking off when an emergency trauma patient came in.
14:00The anesthesiologist who was supposed to relieve me was stuck in the OR, so I stepped in to lend a
14:04hand.
14:05Okay, and then you went home afterwards?
14:06For just under an hour of sleep.
14:08I'm on call, so here I am again.
14:12Someone targeting doctors.
14:13Is that what this is?
14:15Patients are getting violent and more angry.
14:18We've placed a few more officers in the hospital.
14:19Dr. Devereaux, you're needed in OR, too.
14:22I'm sorry, I have to get to surgery.
14:24Of course.
14:26Oh, looks like people had a real love-hate relationship with Dr. Schaefer.
14:29We're looking for someone with a hate-hate relationship.
14:32I might kill him today.
14:34I think we need to reconstruct Dr. Schaefer's final hours.
14:36Let's start with his last patient.
14:39Kara Blake.
14:41This is my wife.
14:42I'm Shauna Blake.
14:43I'm Detective Ellis, and this is Max Mitchell, my partner.
14:46How is she doing?
14:48They said she should make a full recovery.
14:50That's great.
14:52What time did you get to the hospital today?
14:54I just got here a few hours ago.
14:56She was already in surgery.
14:58Is this about Dr. Schaefer?
14:59It is, yes.
15:00When was the last time you saw him?
15:02I never got to meet him.
15:03I got the call.
15:04Kara had been admitted, and I rushed over as soon as I could.
15:10Today it was like any other.
15:12She was on her way to court.
15:14Kara is a defense lawyer.
15:15And then out of the blue.
15:17Hey.
15:19She's gonna be okay.
15:20Thanks to Dr. Schaefer.
15:22He saved my wife's life.
15:25And now he's been murdered?
15:27Sometimes this world just doesn't make any sense.
15:34You got a boo-boo on your head?
15:37It's been a stressful day.
15:39Tell me about it.
15:40We heard you fainted.
15:43I suppose a layman could say I fainted.
15:46Technically, it was a vasovagal syncope secondary to empathic over-identification.
15:51Isn't that fainting?
15:53Whatever.
15:54It won't happen again.
15:55I just need to get through my final rotation.
15:57Are you done with that report yet?
15:59Almost.
16:00Well, snap to it, intern.
16:01The name's...
16:04The name's Delgado.
16:06Sorry, uh...
16:07They make the...
16:08It turns out I call the patient reports.
16:10When was the last time you saw Dr. Schaefer?
16:13Um...
16:13Let me check.
16:16There was a trauma patient.
16:18And then...
16:19Apparently, I was...
16:25With a patient.
16:26He actually fainted.
16:27The doctor had to wake him up with smelling salts.
16:29He fainted twice in one shift.
16:31I wonder what the record is.
16:33And Dr. Schaefer was here the whole time?
16:35Yes.
16:36Did you notice anything off about the doctor?
16:37Or any exchanges that he had with anyone else?
16:39To be honest, he didn't have the best bedside manner.
16:41How so?
16:42It's like his mind was somewhere else.
16:44But I wouldn't be sitting here talking to you without him.
16:46The extraction was flawless.
16:48The extraction?
16:50I was basting a turkey when I slipped.
16:56I was in between outfits at the time, so I...
16:58Yates is gonna love this story.
17:01Okay, tell me more.
17:04Detectives, we found something on the CCTV you need to see.
17:07Okay.
17:09Okay, I'll be back to hear the rest.
17:12No, she won't.
17:15Well, they don't look happy.
17:17Especially the husband.
17:19She's practically running to catch up.
17:21They were upset about the test results Dr. Schaefer gave them.
17:25Look at the timestamp.
17:28An hour before Dr. Schaefer was murdered.
17:30After the couple left, they hit the staff parking garage.
17:33Look at this.
17:41That's a knife.
17:42That's Dr. Schaefer's motorcycle.
17:47Andy's right-handed.
17:48So we got an angry patient who threatened our victim.
17:50Andy's got a knife.
17:52It walks like a duck.
17:54Quacks like a duck.
17:59Okay, cheese and quackers.
18:01Into the pipe we go.
18:26Did I come at the wrong time?
18:28Au contraire, Vivian.
18:30I'm working on getting us out of the mess
18:32that you dumped on our happy doorstep.
18:41Hands off, Quacky Chan.
18:44You picked the lock again.
18:45Oh, well, old habits die hard.
18:47Why are you here?
18:48I just wanted to drop in and check on your progress
18:51and drop these off.
18:54So, how are the plans coming?
18:56They're coming along.
18:58Can I see what you've got so far?
19:01I'd rather wait and update the whole team.
19:03Hmm, you still don't trust me.
19:05Do you blame me?
19:07Fine.
19:08Oh, as long as I'm here,
19:10I think I might have lost something.
19:12Hmm.
19:13Apart from your family and my money?
19:15A very valuable ring.
19:16I'll let you know if it turns up.
19:18Oh, it's a very special ring.
19:21You see, I found this gorgeous scarab ring in the Sydney Museum
19:24that I absolutely had to have.
19:27The trouble is,
19:28it was locked in a case with pressure alarms.
19:30One step too close
19:31and all of Darling Harbour would have heard it.
19:33So, I released
19:34three dozen wind-up toy kangaroos at once.
19:37Chaos.
19:38Shrieking tourists,
19:39guards chasing after plastic marsupials.
19:41I scooped up that ring
19:42and before they knew it was missing,
19:44I was halfway to Tangier
19:45humming Le'Veon Rose.
19:47Wow.
19:49That's an earful.
19:51How about it?
19:52Do you mind, uh, covering up?
19:54I work better unencumbered.
19:57I call it my big duck energy.
20:00Mmm.
20:04Fine.
20:07We have CCTV footage of you
20:09slashing Dr. Schaefer's tires.
20:11He was defending my honor.
20:12Isn't that right, Honey Bunch?
20:14That's right, Sugar Pie.
20:16Okay, so you slashed the tires for love?
20:19Is that it?
20:20Schaefer implied one of us
20:21was stepping out on our marriage.
20:23That was the diagnosis?
20:25Infidelity?
20:26No.
20:27He said I had...
20:34Oh.
20:35I got it.
20:37The...
20:39Yes.
20:40And it's totally not true.
20:43Schaefer made a completely wrong diagnosis.
20:44Okay, so then you left the hospital
20:46against medical advice,
20:47is that right?
20:47We were mad.
20:48We wanted a second opinion.
20:49So mad you walked back in the hospital
20:51and killed Dr. Schaefer?
20:52Because he didn't answer your call.
20:53What?
20:54I didn't call.
20:55We didn't kill anybody.
20:56Look, you have motive,
20:57and we have footage of you
20:58in the hospital parking garage
21:00around the same time as Dr. Schaefer's death.
21:01We can prove we didn't do it.
21:04How?
21:05Ask the bartender at Dominic's.
21:06We were there until the police picked us up.
21:12She's lying.
21:15About what?
21:16The murder?
21:16The infidelity.
21:18She's the one stepping out,
21:19not her husband.
21:20How do you know that?
21:21Her nervous tick,
21:22the way she was twisting her wedding ring.
21:23I bet she was the one calling the doctor
21:25behind her husband's back
21:26for the prescription.
21:27Okay, let's start with her ally.
21:30Olive wants to see you in the morgue.
21:32Okay, you call the bar,
21:33and I'll go talk to Olive.
21:34Yeah?
21:35Okay.
21:36The puncture marks on his clothes
21:37all line up with the stab wounds.
21:39And blood seeped through his scrubs
21:41and his lab coat almost everywhere
21:43except for right there.
21:44His breast pocket.
21:45There's no bloodstains.
21:47All right.
21:48Not sure why.
21:49Maybe his coat fell open
21:50during the murder.
21:52But I called
21:52because I found something else.
22:02Is that an injection mark?
22:04I didn't notice it at the scene
22:05because I was focused
22:06on the multiple stab wounds,
22:07which may have been
22:08the killer's agenda
22:09because the toxicology report
22:11showed a high dose
22:12of hospital-grade propofol
22:14in his system.
22:15Propofol?
22:16What's that?
22:17It's a drug used
22:17to sedate patients for surgery.
22:19So if I lured him into a room
22:20and jabbed him with a propofol,
22:22would that incapacitate him
22:23fast enough
22:23that I could stab him to death
22:25before he attacked me?
22:26Absolutely.
22:27It works fast.
22:28Less than 60 seconds.
22:29Okay.
22:29Well, that would certainly
22:30account for the lack
22:30of defensive wounds.
22:31He couldn't defend himself.
22:34Hospital-grade drugs
22:35are locked up.
22:35To access the propofol,
22:37you'd need to be
22:37a medical professional.
22:40Which means Schaefer
22:41was murdered by someone
22:42working in the hospital.
22:47So the bartender confirmed
22:49our Love Island couple
22:50was there all afternoon
22:51getting sloshed.
22:52So not our killers.
22:53Olive says that Dr. Schaefer
22:54was dosed with propofol
22:55before he was stabbed.
22:57And we know he went
22:57into a private room
22:58with the killer
22:59and closed the door.
23:00So it had to be
23:00someone he trusted.
23:01Well, clearly he wasn't
23:02expecting a shiv to the sternum.
23:04If the propofol is hospital,
23:05great, go back and check
23:06and see if they're missing any.
23:07Follow the drugs,
23:08find the killer.
23:13Is that my stress ball?
23:16It was a stressful day.
23:17Sorry.
23:19Oh, I need this stuff
23:21on an IV drip.
23:23So you were saying
23:24all the drugs are locked up
23:26in a pharmacy cabinet?
23:27Yes, and everything is logged.
23:29Employee codes,
23:30patient name, dosage.
23:32And only nurses
23:33and anesthesiologists
23:34can unlock it.
23:36So if a doctor needs something,
23:37they go through a nurse.
23:39This is everything from today.
23:42I will have a proper audit run,
23:44but it may take some time.
23:46And I need permission
23:47from Dr. Keaton.
23:48Now that Dr. Schaefer's gone,
23:50Dr. Keaton is the new
23:52chief of the ER.
23:53Interesting.
23:56What was his relationship like
23:58with Dr. Schaefer?
23:58Less than ideal.
24:01They were really
24:02at each other's throats
24:02this morning.
24:03What about?
24:04Who knows?
24:05You know,
24:05I didn't mention it earlier
24:07because, well,
24:08they were always at it.
24:09They're like
24:09a couple of chihuahuas,
24:11you know,
24:11yapping over who's bigger.
24:14Sorry, Gail.
24:15You're needed in bay three.
24:16Okay.
24:17Excuse me.
24:19Well,
24:20let's see if Dr. Keaton's bite
24:22is worse than his bark.
24:27This would go
24:27a whole lot faster
24:29if you'd help.
24:31Oh,
24:31don't forget to look
24:32under the couch.
24:35or
24:38you could call it a day
24:39and tell me
24:39why you're here.
24:42I told you.
24:45I am here
24:46looking for
24:47my scarab ring,
24:49which is one of a kind
24:49and very important to me.
24:51Heart-wrenching.
24:54Is this it?
24:56You found it.
24:57Where was it?
24:58It was in your jacket pocket
25:00where it's been
25:00this whole time.
25:01What?
25:02That's crazy.
25:03It must have fallen off.
25:04Cut the performance, Vivian.
25:05You lied about the ring.
25:07Tell me why
25:08you're really here.
25:12Schaefer was a liar.
25:13I sunk 50 grand
25:15into a medical startup
25:15that he pitched.
25:16I lost 49.
25:17This morning,
25:18I find out that the bastard
25:19didn't even invest
25:20any of his own money.
25:21He was screwing with me.
25:22The nurse will be by
25:23with your release papers.
25:24Wow, that's a lot of money.
25:26I know what you're getting at.
25:28We fought all the time
25:29and the guy was a prick,
25:30but I didn't kill him.
25:32Well, you're probably happy
25:32you don't have to play
25:33his second fiddle anymore
25:34now that you're
25:35ER chief.
25:36I don't want his job
25:37if that's what you're inferring.
25:38I got a better offer
25:39somewhere else.
25:40I'll be out here
25:40at the end of the month.
25:45Schaefer was a jerk, okay?
25:48But I respected him.
25:49You don't save
25:50as many lives as he did
25:51without ruffling
25:52a few feathers.
25:54Now, if there's nothing else,
25:56I've got a job to do.
25:57That's why these doctors
25:58could learn a thing or two
25:59about Bedside Manor.
26:01Do you remember
26:01what you told me
26:02about Schaefer's lab coat
26:03where there was no blood
26:04on the breast pocket?
26:06Well, what if there was
26:07something inside the pocket
26:08stopping the blood
26:09from seeping out?
26:10Nothing was found
26:11in his pockets.
26:11I know, but what if
26:13it was taken out
26:14after he died
26:15before we got there?
26:16Let's go back to the person
26:17who found the body.
26:19Can you open your locker
26:20for us, Gail?
26:21Why?
26:22This is a waste of time.
26:24Look, you can do it
26:24or we can get security
26:25to do it.
26:26It's up to you.
26:28Oh, no need for security.
26:30Wait, okay,
26:31you can't do that.
26:32She cannot do that.
26:33I've never stopped her
26:33before.
26:34What are you looking for?
26:37We're looking for this.
26:48So, this is why
26:50you killed him?
26:51No.
26:54You told me
26:55I've got to get my hopes up.
26:57When did he say that?
26:59This morning.
27:00You applied for another job
27:02in the hospital?
27:04I love the ER,
27:06but I'm just done.
27:11Sooner or later,
27:12everyone gets burned out.
27:13I just want more time
27:14with my husband
27:14and my kids.
27:15Did you want the job
27:16bad enough that you'd kill?
27:17No.
27:19I swear.
27:20I mean,
27:21I wouldn't blame you.
27:22Dr. Schaefer is a hard ass
27:24and full of himself.
27:25Certainly seems like
27:26the kind of guy
27:27who would try and block
27:27your promotion
27:28just to be spiteful.
27:29That's why you decided
27:30to kill him.
27:31So that he wouldn't
27:32not recommend you to that?
27:33I did not kill
27:35Dr. Schaefer.
27:36Yeah, I thought
27:37that he was going
27:38to give me
27:38a bad performance review.
27:42So when I found his body
27:44and I saw the letter,
27:46I took it.
27:48I was going to rip it up.
27:51Then you read it.
27:52Yeah.
27:55I am reluctant
27:56to recommend
27:57Gail Holloway
27:58to the position
27:59of health administrator.
28:00Not because she lacks ability,
28:03but because I don't
28:04want to lose her.
28:09In the first week
28:10we worked together,
28:11Gail had to re-home
28:12her father
28:12because of his rapidly
28:14progressing Alzheimer's.
28:15It was an extremely
28:16difficult personal situation,
28:17but she never let anything
28:19get in the way
28:19of the care she gave
28:20to her patients.
28:21For the last 10 years,
28:23she's managed
28:23to the emergency room
28:24and me
28:25with the same dedication,
28:27patience,
28:28and grace.
28:29Even though I'll hate
28:30to lose Gail,
28:31you'll be lucky
28:32to have her.
28:34I was going to copy that
28:36onto a clean sheet of paper
28:38and present it
28:38to the board.
28:39You tampered with
28:40a crime scene,
28:41Gail.
28:42It's very serious.
28:43Yes, I know it's wrong
28:44and I am sorry.
28:50I can't believe
28:51that he remembered
28:52all that stuff
28:52about my father.
28:53That was 10 years ago.
28:56You know,
28:57none of us ever thought
28:57that Schaefer gave a damn
28:59about our lives
29:00outside of work.
29:04Turns out that he had
29:05my back the whole time.
29:07And now I'm never
29:08going to get to thank him.
29:16That is one sad,
29:17scared lady.
29:19She should be scared.
29:20She corrupted a crime scene
29:21and she lied to us about it.
29:22That's true,
29:23but do you actually
29:23think she killed him?
29:24Oh, no.
29:25I don't.
29:26Hospital just called.
29:28Nurses finished
29:28their drug audit.
29:30Okay.
29:30Any issues?
29:31You could say that.
29:32There's a vial
29:32of propofol missing.
29:34Oh,
29:35paging us
29:36again.
29:39You do realize
29:40we're talking
29:41life or death
29:42because of what you did.
29:44We're all
29:44in Gideon Vargas' crosshairs.
29:46You think I don't know that?
29:47Just tell me the truth.
29:48Why the ring gag?
29:50Was it some kind of test?
29:51I wanted something
29:52to break the ice.
29:53The truth is,
29:54while I know George
29:55and I know Max,
29:56you are an unknown variable
29:58to me.
29:58And in this game,
29:59I don't like unknown variables,
30:01especially not in my own family.
30:02Your family?
30:03You haven't been around
30:04for the last 15 years,
30:05Hal.
30:06You haven't even been alive.
30:07Everything I've done,
30:08whether you approve of it or not,
30:11has been for my husband
30:12and daughter.
30:12You have to know that.
30:13All I know
30:14is what your death
30:15did to both Max and George.
30:18They were devastated.
30:19And I was the one
30:20who stayed with them,
30:21holding things together,
30:22keeping them in the game,
30:23not to mention cooking
30:24and cleaning
30:24and making coffee
30:26that reduces grown men
30:27to tears.
30:28You want to talk
30:29unknown variables?
30:31Honey,
30:32take a look in the mirror.
30:40How does an entire
30:41vial of propofols
30:42just go unaccounted for?
30:44Doesn't it take a nurse
30:45or anesthesiologist
30:45to access drugs?
30:47Yes,
30:47but in critical cases,
30:49we don't have time
30:49to send someone
30:50a requisition
30:51a drug from the pharmacy.
30:52That's when
30:52the mobile drug cards
30:54like that one
30:54come into play.
30:56Aren't those things locked?
30:57Yeah, always.
30:58But in emergency procedures,
31:00I mean,
31:00seconds matter.
31:00So we keep it
31:01unlocked for easy access.
31:04So anyone
31:05could just grab
31:06whatever vial
31:06they wanted
31:07from the medical cart,
31:07then?
31:07I suppose it's possible.
31:09I mean,
31:09all of our attention
31:10is on the patient.
31:12The drug monitoring
31:13procedures,
31:13it's an imperfect system.
31:15It's designed
31:15to catch patterns
31:16of misuse.
31:17People stealing drugs,
31:18not to locate
31:18a missing vial.
31:20Okay,
31:21how many times
31:21was the cart
31:22used this morning?
31:29Well,
31:29this narrows it down.
31:30Only one time
31:31for a trauma patient.
31:32Kara Blake,
31:33car accident.
31:34Dr. Keaton,
31:35motorcycle MBA
31:36incoming,
31:36trauma bay 2.
31:37Excuse me.
31:37Yeah,
31:38of course.
31:39Okay,
31:39so anyone
31:40working that trauma
31:41could have had access
31:42to that propofol
31:43and used it
31:43to incapacitate Schaefer.
31:45Too bad there aren't
31:46cameras in the trauma bay
31:47area recording
31:48everything that happens.
31:49We might not have a camera,
31:50but maybe we got
31:52the next best thing.
32:00This could end
32:01my whole career.
32:02It's already hanging
32:03on by a thread.
32:04So you took
32:05the vial of Propofol.
32:06No.
32:07But it went missing
32:08during Kara Blake's
32:09procedure.
32:10Why does any
32:11of this matter now?
32:11The patient recovered.
32:13It was just a blip.
32:15What was a blip?
32:21Propofol
32:21instead of ketamine.
32:24Okay,
32:24do me a favor.
32:25Let's just start
32:26from the beginning.
32:28The patient
32:29was brought
32:29into trauma care.
32:31Dr. Schaefer
32:31prescribed 10 milligrams
32:32of ketamine
32:33and intubation.
32:34But Kara
32:34wasn't given ketamine.
32:35She was given
32:35propofol.
32:36Are those two drugs
32:38interchangeable?
32:39Well,
32:40both ketamine
32:41and propofol
32:42are used
32:42as a state patients.
32:43However,
32:44in a trauma case
32:44like that,
32:45a hypotensive patient
32:46who's lost
32:46a lot of blood
32:47has a much higher
32:48risk of flatlining
32:49on propofol.
32:51Which is exactly
32:52what happened.
32:53Right.
32:54The truth is,
32:56Kara Blake
32:56should never
32:57have flatlined.
33:00Who administered
33:01the propofol?
33:03It's Dr. Devereaux.
33:05Wouldn't she
33:05have known the risks?
33:06She would have.
33:07She's one of the best
33:08anesthesiologists
33:08in this city.
33:09But I've been on a rotation
33:10for a couple of months now
33:11and I've never once
33:12seen her use propofol.
33:14Couldn't she have
33:14made a mistake?
33:15She must have.
33:16Everything happened
33:16so fast.
33:17It was the first time
33:17I intubated
33:18I think
33:19she just
33:20grabbed the wrong vial.
33:22After the patient
33:23was stabilized
33:24I saw Dr. Schaefer
33:25take her to the side.
33:27She was in tears.
33:30Hmm.
33:31And then later
33:32she came to me
33:33and she asked me
33:34to change my notes
33:34to say that
33:35Academy
33:36was administered.
33:38Not propofol.
33:39So you did
33:40falsify the report.
33:41She's a doctor.
33:42I'm an intern.
33:43If I want to have
33:44any sort of career
33:45at all
33:45I just do
33:46what I'm told.
33:47Besides
33:48the patient is fine.
33:49We all make mistakes
33:51right?
33:52What if it wasn't
33:52a mistake?
33:54Were you saying
33:54that Dr. Devereaux
33:56wanted the patient
33:57to flatline?
33:58That's
33:58that's
33:59crazy
34:00right?
34:01Why would you
34:01want to do that
34:02to a total stranger?
34:06Ellis
34:07what you got?
34:07A doctor's name
34:08we need to link
34:09to our victim.
34:09Simmons and Yates
34:10are in the field
34:11but I can run
34:11those names for you.
34:12See if we can
34:13find a link.
34:16You can't be serious.
34:18We're serious
34:18all right.
34:19Is everything okay?
34:20A doctor just
34:20asked me to step out
34:21while she examines
34:22Kara.
34:25Stop.
34:26Put it down
34:26right now.
34:28Don't make me
34:28use this.
34:36It's the missing
34:37biolapropofol.
34:40Robin.
34:41What the hell?
34:42A dose this size
34:43would have killed her.
34:44Why would you do this?
34:45Dr. Devereaux
34:45you're under arrest
34:46for the murder
34:47of Dr. Schaefer
34:47and the attempted
34:48murder of Kara Blake.
34:50Turn around
34:51with your hands
34:51behind your back.
34:55All right.
34:56Let's go.
35:01Kara Blake
35:02murdered her.
35:04My mother
35:05was coming home
35:05from volunteering
35:06at her local food bank
35:07like she did
35:08every Sunday
35:09for 30 years.
35:12She stopped
35:13at a convenience store
35:13for a carton of milk.
35:15Yes, we
35:15looked up the case.
35:17Your mother
35:17interrupted a robbery.
35:18The shooter
35:19was caught on camera.
35:20It was an open
35:20and shut case.
35:22But during the trial
35:23the defense attorney
35:24found a minor
35:25clerical error
35:26made by the arresting
35:27officers
35:28and got the shooter off.
35:30And that lawyer
35:30was Kara Blake.
35:31We knew about
35:32the technicality
35:33before she presented it.
35:34So I went to her office
35:35and I begged her
35:36not to do it.
35:39She threw me out.
35:40Said that her
35:41responsibility
35:41was to her client
35:43not to justice.
35:46Blame the system
35:47she said.
35:50She set him free.
35:52Not the system.
35:54So that morning
35:55in the ER
35:56when you heard
35:57Kara Blake's name
35:58you decided
35:59to do something
36:00about it.
36:00You saw a moment
36:01for revenge.
36:03I saw a moment
36:04to right a wrong.
36:06Look
36:06with all due respect
36:07for what happened
36:08to your mother
36:09two wrongs
36:10were never going
36:10to make that right.
36:23It was routine
36:24for a patient
36:25with those type
36:25of injuries
36:26to be given a sedative.
36:27So when Dr. Schaefer
36:28ordered ketamine
36:29she used propofol
36:30instead
36:30knowing that it
36:31would cause
36:31Kara to flatline.
36:32She tried
36:32a sleight of hand
36:33grabbing one vial
36:34over another
36:35not realizing
36:36the intern had seen it.
36:37Or that Dr. Schaefer
36:38would have remembered
36:39the name Kara Blake.
36:40He couldn't place it
36:41at first
36:41and then he looked it up
36:42and he recognized
36:44her right away.
36:44Once he made
36:45that connection
36:45he knew that
36:46Dr. Devereaux
36:47had administered
36:47the wrong drugs
36:48on purpose.
36:50He told her
36:50he was going to
36:51file a report
36:51with the medical board
36:52and with police.
36:53And well
36:54at that point
36:55she knew her life
36:56was over
36:57so she incapacitated
36:58Dr. Schaefer
36:59with that same drug
37:00so she could kill him.
37:00Yeah
37:01and the multiple stab wound
37:02just to throw suspicion elsewhere.
37:04What the hell are you
37:05you son of a bitch?
37:06An out-of-control patient
37:07who threatened
37:07Dr. Schaefer
37:08made for a perfect suspect.
37:10So she unlocked the door
37:11and let him out.
37:14The justice system
37:15is not perfect
37:16and it's hard on all of us
37:18when it doesn't deliver
37:19the way it should.
37:21Kara Blake
37:21was just doing her job
37:24just like you two did today.
37:26Good work.
37:27Thank you sir.
37:28Keep it up.
37:32Ah.
37:37Ah well uh
37:39you need a ride?
37:43As long as you don't mind
37:44stopping
37:44so I can grab some food first.
37:47I haven't eaten all day
37:48I think looking at those
37:49bedpans
37:50really took away my appetite.
37:52I think we can do that.
38:12Pork one?
38:13I'm good.
38:14Thanks.
38:15God I love
38:16these things.
38:17Even if they aren't
38:18imperfect food
38:19sometimes pork
38:20sometimes bun
38:21you never know
38:22what you're gonna get
38:22but I can't stop trying.
38:24Yeah maybe I should
38:25get some for Jess.
38:26She's been working all day
38:26I don't even know
38:27if she ate.
38:27You should do that.
38:29Turn the car around.
38:31Yeah.
38:32Okay.
38:33So
38:35how are things
38:37going
38:37between you two?
38:38They're uh
38:39they're good.
38:40Yeah.
38:43Um

38:47go out sometime.
38:48Look for you to get
38:48to know her.
38:49Yeah.

38:53Great.
38:56Um
38:56let me just
38:57text Ricky
38:58and see if he wants
38:59a pork bun too.
39:04Are you interested
39:05in pork buns?
39:06Oh no thank you.
39:08Too much bun
39:09not enough pork.
39:10not worth
39:10the inevitable
39:11disappointment.
39:12On that
39:13we agree.
39:17Maybe we can
39:18be friends.
39:19We don't need
39:20to be friends.
39:21We just need
39:22to get the job done.
