00:00The following program contains mature subject matter and violence.
00:03Viewer discretion is advised.
00:05Previously on Wild Cards.
00:07Vivian?
00:08Where have you been for the past 15 years?
00:10On the run from Gideon Varga.
00:12So, Jessica, she seems great.
00:14Honestly, more than anything, it's just been really easy here.
00:18Who are you?
00:19Tomo Hayashi, Varga's right hand.
00:21You are done with all the crime, right?
00:23Oh, yeah.
00:24You are going to steal us a diamond.
00:35I have been here all day.
00:37Please calm down.
00:38I'm in pain.
00:39I need to see a doctor.
00:41Why is it taking so long?
00:43Sir, I need you to calm down or I'm going to have to calm down.
00:49How are things looking?
00:50Labs for the wife in exam five.
00:55Yeah, that's definitely going to ruin someone's day.
00:57Yep.
00:59Tony says the intern phase before lunch.
01:02Dr. Schaefer, the recommendation letters are due at five.
01:05Yeah, yours are done.
01:06But what does that mean?
01:07It means I wouldn't get your hopes up.
01:08Hey.
01:09We need to talk now.
01:10I know you're upset.
01:11Let's talk later.
01:12No.
01:13No.
01:13I said now.
01:14The nurse said that my wife's results are coming.
01:16What gives?
01:16Let's talk in private.
01:18I guess it's going to have to wait.
01:21Dr. Miller to pediatrics.
01:23Dr. Miller to pediatrics.
01:24It's total crap.
01:26You did the test wrong.
01:28Do it again.
01:28Dr. Schaefer, emergency trauma.
01:31Yeah, let's just let him through.
01:33Who we got?
01:33Forty-year-old female, Kara Blake, T-boned by a pickup.
01:37Kara Blake, can you hear me?
01:38Aware, number three, number three.
01:40She can't seem to get a line.
01:42On my count.
01:43Three, two, one, lift.
01:55I thought your shift was over.
01:57You need an anesthesiologist, and Dr. Miller is stuck in the O.R.
02:01Intern, stop taking notes.
02:02Prep for intubation.
02:04I need to see a doctor.
02:07Why is it taking so long?
02:09How much longer is this going to take?
02:11Sir, sir.
02:13My arm's broken.
02:14I've been in that waiting room for eight hours.
02:17We have patients in critical condition.
02:18I'm sure we can get you a painkiller.
02:20I need more than damn meds.
02:21Someone has to fix my fucking arm.
02:24Lock him in the patient's room.
02:26Trauma one, just arrested.
02:32She might be hyperkalemic.
02:34Push up before, start compressions.
02:35Follow with calcium gluconate.
03:04Okay, she's back.
03:05Okay, we got a pause.
03:06She's back.
03:07She's back.
03:11Carol Blake, you're going to be okay.
03:16Easy as 20 I'll make all week.
03:35Morning, Ricky.
03:36Where'd you go?
03:37Work.
03:38Oh, good.
03:39Good.
03:40I just mean, lately, things around here have been quite stressful, and we still don't have
03:44a working plan to steal the diamond.
03:46Ricky needs some peace and quiet to think.
03:48Oh.
03:49Third person Ricky isn't good.
03:50Oh.
03:51Hold on.
03:52Hi, Dad.
03:53Hey, where are you?
03:54On my way to work.
03:55Why, what's up?
03:56I'm on my way to your place.
03:58Oh.
03:59Dad, can you just hold on?
04:00Hey, Mom.
04:01Good morning, sweetheart.
04:03Where are you?
04:04On my way to work.
04:05Oh, good.
04:06Well, I will drop these beignets by your place then.
04:09Oh, no, you don't have to do that.
04:11I'm off sugar for the week.
04:12Oh, please.
04:13You're probably eating a donut right now.
04:17Mom.
04:17Hold on.
04:18Okay.
04:19Dad, sorry.
04:20Yeah, your phone must allow a signal.
04:21Should I grab donuts, croissants, or the old favorite egg tarts?
04:25For what?
04:25For my parole officer.
04:27I'm meeting him at your place, remember?
04:28He thinks I'm living with you, not at the Ritz.
04:31Damn it.
04:32Is that a problem?
04:33Dad, hold on.
04:35Ricky?
04:36How long were you going to leave me hanging?
04:38Okay, Ricky, how committed are you to this day of silence?
04:40I don't like where this is going.
04:41Hold on.
04:42Mom?
04:43Damn it.
04:44Lost her.
04:46Hello?
04:47Wow, your phone is really acting up today.
04:49Anyway, I decided to go with egg tarts.
04:52Dad, how about you just call Mom?
04:54You haven't even sat down and spoken with her.
04:55Max, she lied to us.
04:57I know, but she's your wife.
04:59So how about you just take her out?
05:01Preferably somewhere far away from my place.
05:03Hold on.
05:05Ricky?
05:05I swear, if one person crosses the threshold of our abode,
05:10Ricky is going to lose it.
05:12Learn to drive!
05:14Ricky does not need your negative energy right now.
05:17Okay, well, third person Ricky can kiss my...
05:29Hey, good morning.
05:31Is everything okay?
05:32Max is fine.
05:34It's just been a stressful morning.
05:36Huh.
05:37What happened?
05:37Things at home were a little hectic.
05:39Now that my dad's out and Ricky's while being Ricky.
05:42It's just a new normal to get used to.
05:44Whatever.
05:46Sorry.
05:48How are you?
05:49Good.
05:50Yeah, I slept great last night.
05:51And then this morning, Jess and I just kind of sat in silence and watched the sunrise.
05:55It's beautiful.
06:01I mean, I'm fine.
06:02The usual.
06:03You know?
06:03Go, go, go.
06:11Morning, Alice.
06:13I thought you were here at hospitals.
06:14I do.
06:15But I also have to go where they tell me.
06:17Do you?
06:18I do.
06:19It's called a job.
06:20Okay.
06:21Detectives, I'm Ray.
06:23Security.
06:24Come with me.
06:30In here.
06:39Looks like someone didn't like his bedside manner.
06:55I'm guessing we don't need a second opinion on this one.
06:58Multiple stab wounds to the chest.
07:00I count at least 15.
07:02At first glance, some deep, some superficial.
07:04How many stab wounds?
07:05This was personal.
07:07Emotional.
07:08Whoever went after this doctor must have been angry.
07:10I'm really angry.
07:13Any defensive wounds?
07:14None that I can see.
07:15But I'll do a more thorough check at the morgue.
07:18This guy looks at least six feet tall.
07:19Strange he wouldn't have fought back.
07:21The room's clean.
07:23No sign of a struggle.
07:25I don't get it.
07:26Why would you just stand there as somebody goes stabby, stabby on you 15 times?
07:31This guy was the chief of emergency medicine.
07:35The hell was he doing in some storage closet in the middle of his shift?
07:38For peace and quiet.
07:40A lot of our staff used that room to get a real break.
07:43That's why we put the cot in.
07:45Were you close with Dr. Schaefer?
07:48As close as you could be to a man like that.
07:52What do you mean?
07:53Dr. Schaefer ran the ER like a battlefield.
07:57Fast, efficient, no margin for error.
07:59If you couldn't keep up, you didn't have a place here.
08:02Was anybody else there when you found the body?
08:04I was making rounds with another nurse.
08:06I told her to go for help.
08:07And I checked his pulse.
08:10And he was already dead.
08:13We'll need to confirm that with her.
08:19Hey, it's okay.
08:21I have my stress.
08:23Maybe I need one of those.
08:24Can you think of anyone who might have wanted to harm Dr. Schaefer?
08:28There was one thing this morning.
08:30Dr. Schaefer got into a physical altercation with a male patient.
08:34Security had to isolate the guy.
08:36Where is he right now?
08:37He's gone.
08:38I locked him in here.
08:39And when I checked on him later, the door was unlocked.
08:41I assumed Dr. Schaefer must have let him out.
08:43So I went back to work.
08:44You think he was violent enough to kill Dr. Schaefer?
08:47That's why we locked him up.
08:49All right.
08:50We're going to need to take a look at the CCTV footage.
08:56We've got a hostage situation.
09:03Give me something for the pain.
09:05Don't come any closer.
09:06I'm Detective Ellis.
09:07Okay, let's just take a breath here.
09:10What's your name?
09:12Darren.
09:12Okay, Darren.
09:14What do you need?
09:15I need someone to make the pain go away!
09:19Okay.
09:19Okay, we can make that happen, right?
09:21I'm going to need you to let her go first.
09:23I've been saying they're going to help me all day, but no one does!
09:32Is that a bedpan?
09:34Don't worry, it's clean.
09:35I need you to let her go first.
09:45I need you to let her go first.
09:52I need you to let her go first.
10:04A whisper of hazelnut from a galaxy far, far away.
10:09Thanks, Ricky.
10:10Oh, it smells delicious.
10:12I'll leave you two to talk.
10:14Thanks.
10:15Want to sit down?
10:18So, George, tell me, how's the job going?
10:23The job?
10:25Phone baby phone?
10:27Oh, that, yes.
10:29I didn't land that car wash gig.
10:31I've got something much better lined up.
10:33Tell me more.
10:34Well, next week I started volunteering at Hemsworth Prison.
10:37It's a counseling program for inmates.
10:39Now, I know it doesn't pay, but...
10:40It's wonderful.
10:42George, I'm proud of you.
10:44Oh, I just figured it was time to start giving back.
10:48When can I get some meds?
10:50They're on the way.
10:51What is that?
10:52Trust ball.
10:53Did nurse gail give that to you?
10:54Yes.
10:56So, Darren...
10:56I'm so sorry.
10:58I didn't mean to hurt her.
10:59I just wanted some painkillers.
11:01Okay.
11:02Tell us about your injury.
11:04I fell off a high ladder a few days ago.
11:07The pain in my shoulder has gotten so bad,
11:10I can't work, and I barely sleep.
11:13At this point, I'd do anything to make it go away.
11:16Does that include murdering Dr. Schaefer?
11:17What?
11:20No.
11:22I didn't kill anyone.
11:24If I did, I'd be pretty stupid to stick her in the hospital, wouldn't I?
11:29It's Olive.
11:30She's got something.
11:31Okay, how about I go speak to her and you finish up with Darren?
11:33Sounds good.
11:36All right.
11:37How did you get out of this locked room that the security guard put you in?
11:40I heard a click, went to the door, and it was open.
11:45So I left.
11:48It can be hard readjusting to life on the outside.
11:51I mean, you spent so much time dreaming about getting out, getting back to your old life,
11:56but by the time you're released, your old life's gone.
11:59And you've done this before.
12:01For more than 20 years, you are not alone, George.
12:04Don't think of me just as your parole officer.
12:07Think of me as your friend, as someone who wants you to succeed.
12:11Oh, thanks, Howard.
12:12I appreciate that.
12:13And it's okay to have mixed feelings about the very thing you've been dreaming of now
12:17that it's actually here.
12:18It is okay not to be okay.
12:22Well, thanks, Howard, but I really am okay.
12:25Oh, I'm glad to hear it.
12:28Can you stay for breakfast?
12:30Oh, I'm afraid not.
12:32Duty calls.
12:33I'll just show myself out.
12:37Oh, um, tell Max I'm sorry I missed her.
12:42And thank Ricky for the coffee.
12:43I will.
12:50I thought he'd never leave.
12:51I kind of like the guy.
12:52I feel like we're connecting.
12:54So, how are you coming along with the plans?
12:55I'm trying to make progress.
12:56Because Howard likes to drop by unannounced.
13:00I'm keeping them in here.
13:06Hmm.
13:07Smart.
13:07Mm-hmm.
13:08Now, skedaddle.
13:08I have work to do.
13:12And you know my process.
13:14Yes, I do.
13:15And I don't need to be here for that.
13:41See the incisions?
13:43What about it?
13:44The direction of the wound track combined with the external features of the entry points gave me the angle of
13:49attack.
13:49Damn it, Jim.
13:50Just give it to me straight.
13:54Bones.
13:55Dr. McCoy.
13:56Star Trek.
13:57I don't like science fiction.
13:58Okay, whatever.
13:59What does all this mean?
14:00It means that your killer is right-handed.
14:06Derek.
14:07Are you right-handed?
14:08Yeah.
14:09Why?
14:11What are you doing?
14:12Our killer is right-handed.
14:14He can't lift his right arm.
14:17Which means the killer's still out there.
14:31Yes, he was tough, but he pushed us to be our best.
14:34Ugh.
14:35My old trainer always used to say that.
14:37Man, I hated that guy.
14:38Dr. Schaefer wasn't here to make friends.
14:40He was here to save lives.
14:41When was the last time you saw him?
14:43Uh, I was just clocking off when an emergency trauma patient came in.
14:47The anesthesiologist who was supposed to relieve me was stuck in the OR, so I stepped in to lend a
14:51hand.
14:52Okay, and then you went home afterwards?
14:53Uh, for just under an hour of sleep.
14:55I'm on call, so here I am again.
14:59Someone targeting doctors.
15:01I mean, is that what this is?
15:03Patients are getting violent and more angry.
15:05We've placed a few more officers in the hospital.
15:08Dr. Devereaux, you're needed in OR too.
15:10I'm sorry, I have to get to surgery.
15:12Of course.
15:14Oh, looks like people had a real love-hate relationship with Dr. Schaefer.
15:17We're looking for someone with a hate-hate relationship.
15:20I might kill him today.
15:22I think we need to reconstruct Dr. Schaefer's final hours.
15:25Let's start with this last patient.
15:27Kara Blake.
15:30This is my wife.
15:31I'm Shauna Blake.
15:32I'm Detective Ellis, and this is Max Mitchell, my partner.
15:36How is she doing?
15:38They said she should make a full recovery.
15:40That's great.
15:41What time did you get to the hospital today?
15:43I just got here a few hours ago.
15:45She was already in surgery.
15:48Is this about Dr. Schaefer?
15:49It is, yes.
15:50When was the last time you saw him?
15:51I never got to meet him.
15:53I got the call.
15:54Kara had been admitted, and I rushed over as soon as I could.
16:00Today it was like any other.
16:02She was on her way to court.
16:05Kara is a defense lawyer.
16:06And then out of the blue.
16:09Hey, she's going to be okay.
16:11Thanks to Dr. Schaefer, he saved my wife's life.
16:15And now he's been murdered?
16:18Sometimes this world just doesn't make any sense.
16:25You got a boo-boo on your head.
16:29It's been a stressful day.
16:31Tell me about it.
16:32We heard you fainted.
16:35I suppose a layman could say I fainted.
16:38Technically, it was a vasovagal syncope secondary to empathic over-identification.
16:43Isn't that fainting?
16:46Whatever.
16:47It won't happen again.
16:48I just need to get through my final rotation.
16:50Are you done with that report yet?
16:52Almost.
16:53We'll snap to it, intern.
16:54The name's...
16:57The name's Delgado.
17:00Sorry, they make the interns that I pull the patient reports.
17:03When was the last time you saw Dr. Schaefer?
17:07Let me check.
17:10There was a trauma patient, and then apparently I was...
17:19with a patient.
17:20He actually fainted.
17:22The doctor had to wake him up with smelling salts.
17:24Fainted twice in one shift?
17:26I wonder what the record is.
17:28And Dr. Schaefer was here the whole time?
17:29Yes.
17:30Did you notice anything off about the doctor, or any exchanges that he had with anyone else?
17:34To be honest, he didn't have the best bedside manner.
17:36How so?
17:37It's like his mind was somewhere else, but I wouldn't be sitting here talking to you without him.
17:41The extraction was flawless.
17:43The extraction?
17:45Uh...
17:45I was, uh, basting a turkey when I slipped.
17:51I was in between outfits at the time, so I...
17:54Yates is gonna love this story.
17:57Okay, tell me more.
17:59Detectives?
18:00We found something on the CCTV you need to see.
18:03Okay.
18:06Okay, I'll be back to hear the rest.
18:08No, she won't.
18:11Well, they don't look happy.
18:14Especially the husband.
18:15She's practically running to catch up.
18:18They were upset about the test results Dr. Schaefer gave them.
18:22Look at the timestamp.
18:25An hour before Dr. Schaefer was murdered.
18:28After the couple left, they hit the staff parking garage.
18:30Look at this.
18:39That's a knife.
18:40That's Dr. Schaefer's motorcycle.
18:45Andy's right-handed.
18:46So we got an angry patient who threatened our victim, and he's got a knife.
18:50And he walks like a duck, quacks like a duck.
18:58Okay, cheese and quackers, into the pipe we go.
19:12Yes.
19:17Okay.
19:18Sorry.
19:27Did I come at the wrong time?
19:29Au contraire, Vivian.
19:31I'm working on getting us out of the mess that you dumped on our happy doorstep.
19:42Hands off, quacky Chan.
19:45You picked the lock again.
19:46Oh, well, old habits die hard.
19:48Why are you here?
19:49I just wanted to drop in and check on your progress, and drop these off.
19:55So, how are the plans coming?
19:57They're coming along.
20:00Can I see what you've got so far?
20:03I'd rather wait and update the whole team.
20:06You still don't trust me.
20:08Do you blame me?
20:10Fine.
20:10Oh, as long as I'm here, I think I might have lost something.
20:15Hmm.
20:16Apart from your family and my money?
20:18A very valuable ring.
20:19I'll let you know if it turns up.
20:21Oh, it's a very special ring.
20:24You see, I found this gorgeous scarab ring in the Sydney Museum that I absolutely had to have.
20:30The trouble is, it was locked in a case with pressure alarms.
20:33One step too close, and all of Darling Harbor would have heard it.
20:36So, I released three dozen wind-up toy kangaroos at once.
20:40Chaos.
20:41Shrieking tourists, guards chasing after plastic marsupials.
20:45I scooped up that ring, and before they knew it was missing, I was halfway to Tangier humming Le'Veon
20:50Rose.
20:51Wow.
20:53That's an earful.
20:55How about it?
20:56Do you mind, uh, covering up?
20:59I work better unencumbered.
21:01I call it my big duck energy.
21:04Hmm.
21:09Fine.
21:12We have CCTV footage of you slashing Dr. Schaefer's tires.
21:16He was defending my honor.
21:18Isn't that right, Honey Bunch?
21:19That's right, Sugar Pie.
21:22Okay, so you slashed the tires for love?
21:25Is that it?
21:26Schaefer implied one of us was stepping out on our marriage.
21:28That was the diagnosis?
21:31Infidelity?
21:32No.
21:33He said I had...
21:40Oh.
21:41I got it.
21:44The...
21:45Yes.
21:47And it's totally not true.
21:49Schaefer made a completely wrong diagnosis.
21:52Okay, so then you left the hospital against medical advice, is that right?
21:54We were mad.
21:55We wanted a second opinion.
21:57So mad you walked back in the hospital and killed Dr. Schaefer?
21:59Because he didn't answer your call.
22:01What?
22:01I didn't call.
22:03Well, you didn't kill anybody.
22:04Look, you have motive, and we have footage of you in the hospital parking garage around the
22:08same time as Dr. Schaefer's death.
22:09We can prove we didn't do it.
22:12How?
22:13Ask the bartender at Dominic's.
22:14We were there until the police picked us up.
22:20She's lying.
22:23About what?
22:24The murder?
22:25The infidelity.
22:26She's the one stepping out, not her husband.
22:29How do you know that?
22:30Her nervous tick.
22:31The way she was twisting her wedding ring.
22:32I bet she was the one calling the doctor behind her husband's back for the prescription.
22:36Okay, let's start with her ally.
22:39Olive wants to see you in the morgue.
22:41Okay, you call the bar, and I'll go talk to Olive.
22:44Yeah?
22:44Okay.
22:46The puncture marks on his clothes all line up with the stab wounds.
22:49Blood seeped through his scrubs and his lab coat almost everywhere except for right there.
22:54His breast pocket.
22:55It's no bloodstains.
22:57All right.
22:58Not sure why.
22:59Maybe his coat fell open during the murder.
23:02But I called because I found something else.
23:13Is that an injection mark?
23:15I didn't notice it at the scene because I was focused on the multiple stab wounds, which may have been
23:19the killer's agenda.
23:21Because the toxicology report showed a high dose of hospital-grade propofol in his system.
23:27Propofol? What's that?
23:28It's a drug used to sedate patients for surgery.
23:30So if I lured him into a room and jabbed him with a propofol, would that incapacitate him fast enough
23:36that I could stab him to death before he attacked me?
23:38Absolutely.
23:39It works fast.
23:40Less than 60 seconds.
23:41Okay, well, that would certainly account for the lack of defensive wounds.
23:44He couldn't defend himself.
23:46Hospital-grade drugs are locked up.
23:48To access the propofol, you'd need to be a medical professional.
23:52Which means Schaefer was murdered by someone working in the hospital.
24:01So the bartender confirmed our Love Island couple was there all afternoon getting sloshed.
24:06So not our killers.
24:07Olive says that Dr. Schaefer was dosed with propofol before he was stabbed.
24:10And we know he went into a private room with the killer and closed the door.
24:14So it had to be someone he trusted.
24:15Well, clearly he wasn't expecting a shiv to the sternum.
24:18If the propofol is hospital, great.
24:20Go back and check and see if they're missing any.
24:21Follow the drugs.
24:23Find the killer.
24:28Is that my stress ball?
24:30Oh, it was a stressful day.
24:32Sorry.
24:34Oh, I need this stuff on an IV drip.
24:38So you were saying all the drugs are locked up in a pharmacy cabinet?
24:42Yes, and everything is logged.
24:44Employee codes, patient name, dosage.
24:47And only nurses and anesthesiologists can unlock it.
24:51So if a doctor needs something, they go through a nurse.
24:55This is everything from today.
24:57Today, I will have a proper audit run, but it may take some time.
25:02And I need permission from Dr. Keaton.
25:05Now that Dr. Schaefer's gone, Dr. Keaton is the new chief of the ER.
25:10Interesting.
25:13What was his relationship like with Dr. Schaefer?
25:15Less than ideal.
25:17They were really at each other's throats this morning.
25:20What about?
25:21Who knows?
25:22You know, I didn't mention it earlier because, well, they were always at it.
25:26They're like a couple of chihuahuas, you know, yapping over who's bigger.
25:31Sorry, Gail.
25:32You're needed in Bay 3.
25:34Okay.
25:35Excuse me.
25:37Well, let's see if Dr. Keaton's bite is worse than his bark.
25:45This would go a whole lot faster if you'd help.
25:49Oh, don't forget to look under the couch.
25:56Or you could call it a day and tell me why you're here.
26:01I told you.
26:04I am here looking for my scarab ring, which is one of a kind and very important to me.
26:11Heart-wrenching.
26:13Is this it?
26:16You found it.
26:17Where was it?
26:18It was in your jacket pocket where it's been this whole time.
26:21What?
26:21Well, that's crazy.
26:23It must have fallen off.
26:24Cut the performance, Vivian.
26:25You lied about the ring.
26:28Tell me why you're really here.
26:33Schaefer was a liar.
26:34I sunk 50 grand into a medical startup that he pitched.
26:37I lost 49.
26:38This morning, I find out that the bastard didn't even invest any of his own money.
26:41He was screwing with me.
26:43The nurse will be by with the release papers.
26:45Wow, that's a lot of money.
26:47I know what you're getting at.
26:49We fought all the time.
26:50The guy was a prick, but I didn't kill him.
26:53Well, you're probably happy you don't have to play his second fiddle anymore, now that you're ER chief.
26:57I don't want his job, if that's what you're inferring.
27:00I got a better offer somewhere else.
27:02I'll be out of here at the end of the month.
27:07Schaefer was a jerk.
27:09Okay.
27:10But I respected him.
27:11You don't save as many lives as he did without ruffling a few feathers.
27:16Now, if there's nothing else, I've got a job to do.
27:20That's why all these doctors could learn a thing or two about Bedside Manor.
27:24Do you remember what you told me about Schaefer's lab coat?
27:26Where there was no blood on the breast pocket?
27:29Well, what if there was something inside the pocket stopping the blood from seeping out?
27:33Nothing was found in his pockets.
27:35I know.
27:36But what if it was taken out after he died before we got there?
27:39Let's go back to the person who found the body.
27:43Can you open your locker for us, Gail?
27:45Why?
27:46This is a waste of time.
27:48Look, you can do it or we can get security to do it.
27:50It's up to you.
27:52Oh, no need for security.
27:54Wait, okay, you can't do that.
27:56She cannot do that.
27:57She's never stopped her before.
27:59What are you looking for?
28:02We're looking for this.
28:13So, this is why you killed him?
28:16No.
28:19He told me not to get my hopes up.
28:22When did he say that?
28:24This morning.
28:26You applied for another job in the hospital?
28:30I love the ER, but I'm just done.
28:37Sooner or later, everyone gets burned out.
28:39I just want more time with my husband and my kids.
28:42Did you want the job bad enough that you'd kill?
28:44No.
28:46I swear.
28:47I mean, I wouldn't blame you.
28:49Dr. Schaefer is a hard ass and full of himself.
28:52He certainly seems like the kind of guy who would try and block your promotion just to be spiteful.
28:57That's why you decided to kill him.
28:58So that he wouldn't not recommend you to the hospital?
29:00I did not kill Dr. Schaefer.
29:04Yeah, I thought that he was going to give me a bad performance review.
29:10So when I found his body and I saw the letter, I took it.
29:16I was going to rip it up.
29:18Then you read it.
29:20Yeah.
29:23I am reluctant to recommend Gail Holloway to the position of health administrator.
29:29Not because she lacks ability, but because I don't want to lose her.
29:38In the first week we worked together, Gail had to rehome her father because of his rapidly progressing Alzheimer's.
29:45It was an extremely difficult personal situation, but she never let anything get in the way of the care she
29:50gave to her patients.
29:51For the last ten years, she's managed the emergency room and me with the same dedication, patience, and grace.
29:58And even though I'll hate to lose Gail, you'll be lucky to have her.
30:04I was going to copy that onto a clean sheet of paper and present it to the board.
30:10You tampered with a crime scene, Gail. It's very serious.
30:13Yes, I know it's wrong, and I am sorry.
30:22I can't believe that he remembered all that stuff about my father. That was ten years ago.
30:27You know, none of us ever thought that Schaefer gave a damn about our lives outside of work.
30:36Turns out that he had my back the whole time.
30:40And now I'm never going to get to thank him.
30:49That is one sad, scared lady.
30:51She should be scared. She corrupted a crime scene and she lied to us about it.
30:55Yeah, that's true, but do you actually think she killed him?
30:57Oh, no. I don't.
31:00Hospital just called. Nurses finished their drug audit.
31:03Okay. Any issues?
31:04You could say that. There's a vial of propofol missing.
31:08Oh. Paging us. Again.
31:13You do realize we're talking life or death because of what you did. We're all in Gideon Vargas' crosshairs.
31:20You think I don't know that?
31:21Just tell me the truth. Why the ring gag? Was it some kind of test?
31:25I wanted something to break the ice.
31:28The truth is, while I know George and I know Max, you are an unknown variable to me.
31:33And in this game, I don't like unknown variables. Especially not in my own family.
31:37Your family?
31:38You haven't been around for the last 15 years, Al. You haven't even been alive.
31:42Everything I've done, whether you approve of it or not, has been for my husband and daughter. You have to
31:48know that.
31:49All I know is what your death did to both Max and George. They were devastated. And I was the
31:55one who stayed with them.
31:56Holding things together, keeping them in the game. Not to mention cooking and cleaning and making coffee that reduces grown
32:03men to tears.
32:04You want to talk unknown variables? Honey, take a look in the mirror.
32:17How does an entire vial of propofol just go unaccounted for?
32:21Doesn't it take a nurse or anesthesiologist to access drugs?
32:24Yes, but in critical cases, we don't have time to send someone a requisition of drug from the pharmacy.
32:29That's when the mobile drug cards like that one come into play.
32:33Aren't those things locked?
32:35Yeah, always.
32:36But in emergency procedures, I mean, seconds matter. So we keep it unlocked for easy access.
32:42So anyone could just grab whatever vial they wanted from the medical cart, then?
32:46I suppose it's possible. I mean, all of our attention is on the patient.
32:50The drug monitoring procedures, it's an imperfect system. It's designed to catch patterns of misuse.
32:55People stealing drugs, not to locate a missing vial.
32:59Okay, how many times was the cart used this morning?
33:02Triage, please.
33:03Dr. Wooden, triage.
33:08Well, this narrows it down. Only one time for a trauma patient.
33:12Kara Blake, car accident.
33:14Dr. Keaton, motorcycle MBA incoming, trauma bay tube.
33:16Excuse me.
33:17Yeah, of course.
33:19Okay, so anyone working that trauma could have had access to that propofol and used it to incapacitate Schaefer.
33:25Too bad there aren't cameras in the trauma bay area recording everything that happens.
33:29We might not have a camera, but I think we got the next best thing.
33:41This could end my whole career.
33:43It's already hanging on by a thread.
33:45So you took the vial of the pool.
33:47No.
33:48But it went missing during Kara Blake's procedure.
33:51Well, why does any of this matter now?
33:53The patient recovered.
33:54It was just a blip.
33:57What was a blip?
34:03Propofol instead of ketamine.
34:06Okay, do me a favor.
34:07Let's just start from the beginning.
34:10The patient was brought into trauma care.
34:13Dr. Schaefer prescribed 10 milligrams of ketamine and intubation.
34:16But Kara wasn't given ketamine.
34:18She was given propofol.
34:19Are those two drugs interchangeable?
34:23Well, both ketamine and propofol are used as state patients.
34:26However, in a trauma case like that, a hypotensive patient who's lost a lot of blood
34:30has a much higher risk of flatlining on propofol.
34:35Which is exactly what happened.
34:36Right.
34:37The truth is, Kara Blake should never have flatlined.
34:44Who administered the propofol?
34:47It's Dr. Devereaux.
34:49Wouldn't she have known the risks?
34:51She would have.
34:51She's one of the best anesthesiologists in this city.
34:54But I've been on a rotation for a couple of months now, and I've never once seen her use propofol.
34:58Couldn't she have made a mistake?
34:59She must have.
35:00Everything happened so fast.
35:02It was the first time I intubated.
35:03I think she just grabbed the wrong vial.
35:07After the patient was stabilized, I saw Dr. Schaefer take her to the side.
35:12She was in tears.
35:15Hmm.
35:16And then later, she came to me, and she asked me to change my notes to say that Academy was
35:22administered.
35:23Not propofol.
35:25So you did falsify the report.
35:27She's a doctor.
35:28I'm an intern.
35:29If I want to have any sort of career at all, I just do what I'm told.
35:34Besides, the patient is fine.
35:36We all make mistakes, right?
35:38What if it wasn't a mistake?
35:40But you're saying that Dr. Devereaux wanted the patient to flatline?
35:44That's crazy, right?
35:48Why would you want to do that to a total stranger?
35:54Ellis, what you got?
35:55A doctor's name.
35:55We need to link to our victim.
35:57Simmons and Yates are in the field, but I can run those names for you.
36:00See if we can find a link.
36:04You can't be serious.
36:05We're serious, all right.
36:07Is everything okay?
36:07A doctor just asked me to step out while she examines Kara.
36:13Stop.
36:14Put it down right now.
36:16Don't make me use this.
36:25It's the missing biolopropofol.
36:29Robin, what the hell?
36:31A dose this size would have killed her.
36:33Why would you do this?
36:34Dr. Devereaux, you're under arrest for the murder of Dr. Schaefer
36:36in the attempted murder of Kara Blake.
36:40Turn around, put your hands behind your back.
36:45All right, let's go.
36:51Kara Blake murdered her.
36:54My mother was coming home from volunteering at her local food bank,
36:58like she did every Sunday for 30 years.
37:02She stopped at a convenience store for a carton of milk.
37:05Yes, we looked up the case.
37:07Your mother interrupted a robbery.
37:09The shooter was caught on camera.
37:10It was an open and shut case.
37:13But during the trial, the defense attorney found a minor clerical error
37:17made by the arresting officers and got the shooter off.
37:21And that lawyer was Kara Blake.
37:23We knew about the technicality before she presented it.
37:25So I went to her office and I begged her not to do it.
37:30She threw me out.
37:32Said that her responsibility was to her client, not to justice.
37:38Blame the system, she said.
37:42She set him free.
37:45Not the system.
37:46So that morning, in the ER, when you heard Kara Blake's name,
37:51you decided to do something about it.
37:53You saw a moment for revenge.
37:56I saw a moment to right a wrong.
37:59Look, with all due respect for what happened to your mother,
38:02two wrongs were never going to make that right.
38:17It was routine for a patient with those type of injuries
38:20to be given a sedative.
38:21So when Dr. Schaefer ordered ketamine,
38:23she used propofol instead,
38:25knowing that it would cause Kara to flatline.
38:26She tried a sleight of hand,
38:28grabbing one vial over another,
38:30not realizing the intern had seen it.
38:32Or that Dr. Schaefer would have remembered the name Kara Blake.
38:35He couldn't place it at first.
38:36And then he looked it up.
38:38And he recognized her right away.
38:39And once he made that connection,
38:40he knew that Dr. Devereaux had administered the wrong drugs.
38:43On purpose.
38:45He told her he was going to file a report
38:46with the medical board and with the police.
38:49And, well, at that point,
38:51she knew her life was over.
38:52So she incapacitated Dr. Schaefer with that same drug
38:55so she could kill him.
38:56Yeah, and the multiple stab wound
38:58just to throw suspicion elsewhere.
39:00What the hell are you, son?
39:02An out-of-control patient who threatened Dr. Schaefer
39:04made for a perfect suspect.
39:07So she unlocked the door and let him out?
39:10The justice system is not perfect.
39:13And it's hard on all of us
39:14when it doesn't deliver the way it should.
39:17But Kara Blake was just doing her job.
39:21Just like you two did today.
39:23Good work.
39:24Thank you, sir.
39:25Keep it up.
39:37Well, uh...
39:37You need a ride?
39:41As long as you don't mind stopping
39:42so I can grab some food first.
39:45I haven't eaten all day.
39:46I think looking at those bedpans
39:48really took away my appetite.
39:50I think we can do that.
40:11Pork one?
40:13I'm good.
40:14Thanks.
40:14God, I love these things.
40:17Even if they aren't imperfect food.
40:19Sometimes pork.
40:20Sometimes bun.
40:21You never know what you're gonna get
40:22but I can't stop trying.
40:24Yeah, maybe I should get some for Jess.
40:26She's been working all day.
40:26I don't even know if she ate.
40:27You should do that.
40:29Turn the car around.
40:31Yeah.
40:32Okay.
40:35So, how are things, uh, going between you two?
40:39They're, uh, they're good.
40:40Yeah.
40:47Um, we should all go out sometime.
40:49Love for you to get to know her.
40:50Yeah.
40:51I would love that.
40:55Great.
40:58Um, let me just text Ricky
41:00and see if he wants a pork bun, too.
41:06Are you interested in pork buns?
41:08Oh, no, thank you.
41:10Too much bun, not enough pork.
41:12Not worth the inevitable disappointment.
41:15On that, we agree.
41:19Maybe we can be friends.
41:22We don't need to be friends.
41:24We just need to get the job done.
41:28Vivian, I want a fairytale ending
41:31for you and Max and George.
41:34But I'm going to keep a very close eye on you.
41:37Because they're my family.
41:39Then I'd die for those crazy cats.
41:42Fair enough.
41:44Ah.
41:48I should get going.
41:52Uh, one last thing, by the way.
41:55How did you know about the ring?
41:58It's the kind of thing Max would do.
42:00And if I may say so, it was too easy.
42:03If we're going to survive this,
42:04you need to bring your A game.
42:08Oh, sorry.
42:10Um, this is actually the last thing.
42:13I promise.
42:19Maybe next time we should review
42:21our definition of A game.
42:22And you don't have much there.
42:24You better get cracking.
42:26Bonsoir, and thank you for the wine.
42:34Damn.
42:37She's good.
42:47Okay, gentlemen.
42:49Quackinaw is officially in progress.
42:53I assure you, Quacky Chan,
42:54your death will not be in vain.
42:57You were born a bath toy.
42:59You will die a hero.
43:03Look at you.
43:04You weaponized party favor.
43:08You are beautiful.
43:12Beautiful.
