00:00Previously on Wild Cards.
00:02Vivian?
00:03Where have you been for the past 15 years?
00:05On the run from Gideon Varga.
00:07So, Jessica, she seems great.
00:09Honestly, more than anything, it's just been really easy here.
00:13Who are you?
00:14Tomo Hayashi, Varga's right hand.
00:16You are done with all the crime, right?
00:18Oh, yeah.
00:19You are going to steal us a diamond.
00:30I have been here all day.
00:32Please calm down.
00:33I'm in pain.
00:34I need to see a doctor.
00:36Why is it taking so long?
00:38Sir, I need you to calm down, or I'm going to have a problem.
00:43How are things looking?
00:45Labs for the wife in exam five.
00:50Yeah, that's definitely going to ruin someone's day.
00:52Yep.
00:5420 says the intern face before lunch.
00:56Dr. Schaefer, the recommendation letters are due at five.
01:00Yeah, yours are done.
01:01But what does that mean?
01:02It means I wouldn't get your hopes up.
01:03Hey, we need to talk now.
01:05Okay, look, I know you're upset.
01:07Let's talk later.
01:07No, no, I said now.
01:09The nurse said that my wife's results are coming.
01:11What gives?
01:11Let's talk in private.
01:13I guess it's going to have to wait.
01:16Dr. Miller to pediatrics.
01:18Dr. Miller to pediatrics.
01:19It's total crap.
01:21You did the test wrong.
01:22Do it again.
01:23Dr. Schaefer, emergency trauma incoming.
01:26Yeah, let's just let them through.
01:28Who we got?
01:2940-year-old female, Kara Blake, T-boned by a pickup.
01:32Kara Blake, can you hear me?
01:34Where?
01:34Number three.
01:34Number three.
01:35She can't seem to get a line.
01:37On my count?
01:38Three, two, one.
01:41Lift.
01:44BP is dropping.
01:51I thought your shift was over.
01:52You need an anesthesiologist, and Dr. Miller is stuck in the O.R.
01:56Intern, stop taking notes.
01:57Prep for intubation.
01:59I need to see a doctor.
02:02Why is it taking so long?
02:04How much longer is this going to take?
02:06Sir?
02:07Sir?
02:08My arm's broken.
02:09I've been in that waiting room for eight hours.
02:12If we have patients in critical condition, I'm sure we can get you a painkiller.
02:15I need more than damn meds.
02:17Someone has to fix my...
02:18I get off!
02:19Lock him in the patient.
02:20Lock!
02:21Trauma one.
02:22Just arrested.
02:27She might be hyperkalemic.
02:29Push up before start compressions.
02:30Follow with calcium gluconate.
02:32Okay, she's back.
03:00Okay, we got a pause.
03:01She's back.
03:02She's back.
03:06Care of Blake.
03:07You're going to be okay.
03:11Easy as 20 on mek all week.
03:12Good morning, Ricky.
03:31Where'd you go?
03:32Work.
03:33Oh, good.
03:34Good.
03:35I just mean, lately, things around here have been quite stressful, and we still don't have
03:39a working plan to steal the diamond.
03:41Ricky needs some peace and quiet to think.
03:43Oh.
03:44Third person Ricky isn't good.
03:46Oh.
03:46Hold on.
03:47Hi, Dad.
03:48Hey, where are you?
03:49On my way to work.
03:51Why, what's up?
03:51I'm on my way to your place.
03:53Oh.
03:54Dad, can you just hold on?
03:55Hey, Mom.
03:56Good morning, sweetheart.
03:58Where are you?
03:59On my way to work.
04:00Oh, good.
04:01Well, I will drop these beignets by your place, then.
04:04Oh, no.
04:05You don't have to do that.
04:06I'm, um, I'm off sugar for the week.
04:07Oh, please.
04:08You're probably eating a donut right now.
04:12Mom, hold on, okay?
04:14Dad, sorry.
04:15Your phone must allow signal.
04:16Should I grab donuts, croissants, or the old favorite egg tarts?
04:20For what?
04:20For my parole officer.
04:22I'm meeting him at your place, remember?
04:24He thinks I'm living with you, not at the Ritz.
04:26Damn it.
04:27Is that a problem?
04:28Dad, hold on.
04:30Ricky?
04:31How long were you going to leave me hanging?
04:33Okay, Ricky, how committed are you to this day of silence?
04:35I don't like where this is going.
04:36Hold on.
04:37Mom?
04:39Damn it.
04:39Lost her.
04:41Hello?
04:42Wow, your phone is really acting up today.
04:45Anyway, I decided to go with egg tarts.
04:47Dad, how about you just call Mom?
04:49You haven't even sat down and spoken with her.
04:50Max, she lied to us.
04:52I know, but she's your wife.
04:54So how about you just take her out?
04:56Preferably somewhere far away from my place.
04:58Hold on.
05:00Ricky?
05:00I swear, if one person crosses the threshold of our abode, Ricky is going to lose it.
05:07Learn to drive!
05:09Ricky does not need your negative energy right now.
05:12Okay, well, third person Ricky can kiss my...
05:14Hey, good morning.
05:26Is everything okay?
05:27Max is fine.
05:29It's just been a stressful morning.
05:31Oh, what happened?
05:32Things at home were a little hectic.
05:34Now that my dad's out and Ricky's while being Ricky.
05:36It's just a new normal to get used to.
05:39Whatever.
05:41Sorry.
05:43How are you?
05:44Good.
05:45Yeah, I slept great last night.
05:46And then this morning, Jess and I just kind of sat in silence and watched the sunrise.
05:50It was beautiful.
05:56I mean, I'm fine.
05:57The usual.
05:58You know, go, go, go.
06:06Morning, Alice.
06:08I thought you're here at hospitals.
06:09I do.
06:10But I also have to go where they tell me.
06:12Do you?
06:13I do.
06:14Let's call the job.
06:15Okay.
06:16Detectives, I'm Ray, security.
06:19Come with me.
06:25In here.
06:34Looks like someone didn't like his bedside manner.
06:37I'm guessing we don't need a second opinion on this one.
06:53Multiple stab wounds to the chest.
06:55I count at least 15.
06:57At first glance, some deep, some superficial.
06:59That many stab wounds.
07:00This was personal.
07:02Emotional.
07:02Whoever went after this doctor must have been angry.
07:06Really angry.
07:08Any defensive wounds?
07:09None that I can see.
07:11But I'll do a more thorough check at the morgue.
07:13This guy looks at least six feet tall.
07:14Strange he wouldn't have fought back.
07:16Room's clean.
07:18No sign of a struggle.
07:20I don't get it.
07:21Why would you just stand there as somebody goes stabby, stabby on you 15 times?
07:26This guy was the chief of emergency medicine.
07:30The hell was he doing in some storage closet in the middle of his shift?
07:33For peace and quiet.
07:33A lot of our staff used that room to get a real break.
07:38That's why we put the cot in.
07:40Were you close with Dr. Schaefer?
07:43As close as you could be to a man like that.
07:47What do you mean?
07:48Dr. Schaefer ran the ER like a battlefield.
07:52Fast, efficient, no margin for error.
07:54You couldn't keep up.
07:56You didn't have a place here.
07:57Was anybody else there when you found the body?
07:59I was making rounds with another nurse.
08:01I told her to go for help and I checked his pulse.
08:05And he was already dead.
08:08We'll need to confirm that with her.
08:14Hey, it's okay.
08:16I have my stress.
08:18Maybe I need one of those.
08:19Can you think of anyone who might have wanted to harm Dr. Schaefer?
08:23There was one thing this morning.
08:25Dr. Schaefer got into a physical altercation with a male patient.
08:29Security had to isolate the guy.
08:31Where is he right now?
08:32He's gone.
08:33I locked him in here.
08:34And when I checked on him later, the door was unlocked.
08:36I assumed Dr. Schaefer must have let him out.
08:38So I went back to work.
08:39You think he was violent enough to kill Dr. Schaefer?
08:42That's why we locked him up.
08:44All right.
08:45We're going to need to take a look at the CCTV footage.
08:47Coast silver.
08:47Second floor, east wing.
08:49All officers to med storage two.
08:51We've got a hostage situation.
08:52Give me something for the pain.
09:00Don't come any closer.
09:01I'm Detective Ellis.
09:03Okay, let's just take a breath here.
09:05What's your name?
09:07Darren.
09:07Okay, Darren.
09:09What do you need?
09:10I need someone to make the pain go away!
09:14Okay.
09:14Okay, we can make that happen, right?
09:16I'm going to need you to let her go first.
09:18I've been saying they're going to help me all day, but no one does!
09:25You okay?
09:27You okay?
09:27Is that a bedpan?
09:29Don't worry, it's clean.
09:34Maybe not.
09:40Is, uh, is Max here today?
09:42Ah, she's out fighting crime, as usual.
09:45Helping to keep me on the straight and narrow.
09:47Oh, I know you're joking, but the support of family really is so important to any newly
09:52released parolee.
09:54Gentlemen, I present my Java the Nut Blend.
10:00A whisper of hazelnut from a galaxy far, far away.
10:04Thanks, Ricky.
10:05Oh, it smells delicious.
10:07I'll leave you two to talk.
10:09Thanks.
10:10Want to sit down?
10:11So, George, tell me, how's the job going?
10:18The job?
10:21Phone baby phone?
10:22Oh, that, yes.
10:24Uh, I didn't land that car wash gig.
10:26I got something much better lined up.
10:28Tell me more.
10:29Well, next week, I started volunteering at Hemsworth Prison.
10:32It's a counseling program for inmates.
10:34Now, I know it doesn't pay, but...
10:35It's wonderful.
10:37George, I'm proud of you.
10:39Oh.
10:40I just figured it was time to start giving back.
10:43When can I get some meds?
10:45They're on the way.
10:46What is that?
10:47Trust ball.
10:48Did nurse scout give that to you?
10:50Yes.
10:51So, Darren...
10:51I'm so sorry.
10:53I didn't mean to hurt her.
10:54I just wanted some painkillers.
10:57Okay.
10:58Tell us about your injury.
10:59I fell off a high ladder a few days ago.
11:02The pain in my shoulder has gotten so bad,
11:05I can't work,
11:07and I barely sleep.
11:08At this point, I'd do anything to make it go away.
11:11Does that include murdering Dr. Schaefer?
11:13What?
11:16No.
11:16I didn't kill anyone.
11:19If I did, I'd be pretty stupid to stick around the hospital.
11:22Wouldn't I?
11:24It's Olive.
11:25She's got something.
11:26Okay, how about I go speak to her,
11:27and you finish up with Darren?
11:28Sounds good.
11:31All right.
11:32How did you get out of this locked room
11:34that the security guard put you in?
11:35I heard a click,
11:37went to the door,
11:38and it was open.
11:40So I left.
11:43It can be hard readjusting to life on the outside.
11:46I mean, you spent so much time dreaming about getting out,
11:50getting back to your old life,
11:51but by the time you're released,
11:53your old life's gone.
11:54You've done this before.
11:56For more than 20 years,
11:58you are not alone, George.
11:59Don't think of me just as your parole officer.
12:02Think of me as your friend,
12:04as someone who wants you to succeed.
12:06Oh, thanks, Howard.
12:07I appreciate that.
12:08And it's okay to have mixed feelings
12:10about the very thing you've been dreaming of
12:12now that it's actually here.
12:14It is okay not to be okay.
12:17Well, thanks, Howard,
12:18but I really am okay.
12:20Oh, I'm glad to hear it.
12:23Can you stay for breakfast?
12:25Oh, I'm afraid not.
12:27Duty calls.
12:28I'll just show myself out.
12:32Oh, um...
12:34Tell Max I'm sorry I missed her.
12:37And thank Ricky for the coffee?
12:39I will.
12:39I thought he'd never leave.
12:46I kind of like the guy.
12:47I feel like we're connecting.
12:49So, how are you coming along with the plans?
12:50I'm trying to make progress
12:51because Howard likes to drop by unannounced.
12:55I'm keeping them in here.
13:01Hmm.
13:02Smart.
13:02Mm-hmm.
13:03Now, skedaddle.
13:04I have work to do.
13:04And you know my process.
13:09Yes, I do.
13:10And I don't need to be here for that.
13:11See the incisions?
13:38What about it?
13:39The direction of the wound track
13:41combined with the external features
13:42of the entry points
13:43gave me the angle of attack.
13:45Damn it, Jim.
13:45Just give it to me straight.
13:49Bones.
13:50Dr. McCoy.
13:51Star Trek.
13:52I don't like science fiction.
13:53Okay, whatever.
13:54What does all this mean?
13:55It means that your killer is right-handed.
14:01Darren.
14:02Are you right-handed?
14:03Yeah.
14:04Why?
14:06What are you doing?
14:07Our killer is right-handed.
14:09He can't lift his right arm.
14:12Which means the killer's still out there.
14:26Yes, he was tough,
14:27but he pushed us to be our best.
14:29Ugh.
14:30My old trainer always used to say that.
14:32Man, I hated that guy.
14:33Dr. Schaefer wasn't here to make friends.
14:35He was here to save lives.
14:36When was the last time you saw him?
14:38Uh, I was just clocking off
14:39when an emergency trauma patient came in.
14:42The anesthesiologist who was supposed to relieve me
14:44was stuck in the OR,
14:45so I stepped in to lend a hand.
14:47Okay, and then you went home afterwards?
14:48Uh, for just under an hour of sleep.
14:51I'm on call, so here I am again.
14:54Someone targeting doctors.
14:56I mean, is that what this is?
14:58Patients are getting violent and more angry.
15:01We've placed a few more officers in the hospital.
15:03Dr. Devereaux, you're needed in OR, too.
15:05I'm sorry, I have to get to surgery.
15:07Of course.
15:09Oh, looks like people had a real love-hate relationship
15:11with Dr. Schaefer.
15:12We're looking for someone
15:13with a hate-hate relationship.
15:15I might kill him today.
15:17I think we need to reconstruct
15:18Dr. Schaefer's final hours.
15:20Let's start with his last patient.
15:22Kara Blake.
15:25This is my wife.
15:26I'm Shauna Blake.
15:27I'm Detective Ellis,
15:28and this is Max Mitchell, my partner.
15:30How is she doing?
15:33They said she should make a full recovery.
15:35That's great.
15:36What time did you get to the hospital today?
15:38I just got here a few hours ago.
15:40She was already in surgery.
15:43Is this about Dr. Schaefer?
15:44It is, yes.
15:45When was the last time you saw him?
15:47I never got to meet him.
15:48I got the call.
15:49Kara had been admitted,
15:50and I rushed over as soon as I could.
15:55Today was like any other.
15:57She was on her way to court.
16:00Kara's a defense lawyer.
16:01And then out of the blue.
16:03Hey.
16:05She's gonna be okay.
16:06Thanks to Dr. Schaefer.
16:08He saved my wife's life.
16:11And now he's been murdered?
16:13Sometimes this world
16:14just doesn't make any sense.
16:20You got a boo-boo on your head?
16:24It's been a stressful day.
16:26Tell me about it.
16:27We heard you fainted.
16:30I suppose a layman could say I fainted.
16:33Technically, it was a vasovagal syncope
16:35secondary to empathic over-identification.
16:38Isn't that fainting?
16:39Whatever.
16:42It won't happen again.
16:43I just need to get through my final rotation.
16:45Are you done with that report yet?
16:47Almost.
16:48We'll snap to it, intern.
16:49The name's...
16:50The name's Delgado.
16:54Sorry.
16:55They make the interns
16:57that I call the patient reports.
16:58When was the last time
16:59you saw Dr. Schaefer?
17:01Um, let me check.
17:05There was a trauma patient,
17:07and then apparently I was...
17:12with a patient.
17:15He actually fainted.
17:17The doctor had to wake him up
17:18with smelling salts.
17:19Fainted twice in one shift?
17:21I wonder what the record is.
17:22And Dr. Schaefer was here the whole time?
17:24Yes.
17:25Did you notice anything off
17:26about the doctor
17:27or any exchanges that he had
17:28with anyone else?
17:29To be honest,
17:30he didn't have the best bedside manner.
17:31How so?
17:32It's like his mind was somewhere else,
17:34but I wouldn't be sitting here
17:35talking to you without him.
17:36The extraction was flawless.
17:38The extraction?
17:39Uh, I was, uh,
17:42basting a turkey when I slipped.
17:46I was in between outfits at the time,
17:48so I...
17:49Yates is gonna love this story.
17:52Okay, tell me more.
17:53Detectives?
17:56We found something on the CCTV
17:57you need to see.
17:58Okay.
18:01Okay, I'll be back to hear the rest.
18:03No, she won't.
18:07Well, they don't look happy.
18:09Especially the husband.
18:11She's practically running to catch up.
18:13They were upset about the test results
18:15Dr. Schaefer gave them.
18:18Look at the timestamp.
18:20An hour before Dr. Schaefer was murdered.
18:23After the couple left,
18:24they hit the staff parking garage.
18:26Look at this.
18:34That's a knife.
18:35That's Dr. Schaefer's motorcycle.
18:40Andy's right-handed.
18:41So we got an angry patient
18:42who threatened our victim,
18:44and he's got a knife.
18:45And it walks like a duck,
18:47quacks like a duck.
18:49Okay, cheese and quackers,
18:55into the pipe we go.
18:57Yes!
18:57Okay.
18:58So...
18:59Did I come at the wrong time?
19:23Au contraire, Vivian.
19:25I'm working on getting us out of the mess
19:28that you dumped
19:28on our happy doorstep.
19:37Hands off, quacky Chan.
19:40You picked the lock again.
19:41Oh, well, old habits die hard.
19:43Why are you here?
19:44I just wanted to drop in
19:46and check on your progress
19:47and drop these off.
19:50So, how are the plans coming?
19:52They're coming along.
19:55Can I see what you've got so far?
19:58I'd rather wait
19:59and update the whole team.
20:01You still don't trust me.
20:03Do you blame me?
20:05Fine.
20:06Oh, as long as I'm here,
20:07I think I might have lost something.
20:10Hmm.
20:11Apart from your family and my money?
20:12A very valuable ring.
20:14I'll let you know if it turns up.
20:16Oh, it's a very special ring.
20:19You see, I found this gorgeous scarab ring
20:22in the Sydney Museum
20:22that I absolutely had to have.
20:25The trouble is,
20:26it was locked in a case
20:27with pressure alarms.
20:28One step too close
20:29and all of Darling Harbour
20:31would have heard it.
20:31So, I released
20:32three dozen wind-up toy kangaroos at once.
20:35Chaos.
20:36Shrieking tourists,
20:38guards chasing after plastic marsupials.
20:40I scooped up that ring
20:41and before they knew it was missing,
20:43I was halfway to Tangier
20:44humming Le'Veon Rose.
20:46Wow.
20:48That's an earful.
20:50How about it?
20:51Do you mind, uh,
20:53covering up?
20:54I work better unencumbered.
20:56I call it my big duck energy.
20:59Hmm.
21:04Fine.
21:05We have CCTV footage
21:09of you slashing Dr. Schaefer's tires.
21:11He was defending my honor.
21:13Isn't that right, honey bunch?
21:14That's right, sugar pie.
21:17Okay, so you slashed the tires for love?
21:20Is that it?
21:21Schaefer implied one of us
21:22was stepping out on our marriage.
21:24That was the diagnosis?
21:26Infidelity?
21:27No.
21:27He said I had...
21:34Oh.
21:37I got it.
21:38Duh.
21:41Yes.
21:42And it's totally not true.
21:45Schaefer made a completely wrong diagnosis.
21:47Okay, so then you left the hospital
21:48against medical advice,
21:49is that right?
21:49We were mad.
21:50We wanted a second opinion.
21:52So mad you walked back in the hospital
21:53and killed Dr. Schaefer?
21:54Because he didn't answer your call.
21:56What?
21:56I didn't call.
21:58We didn't kill anybody.
21:59Look, you have motive,
22:00and we have footage of you
22:01in the hospital parking garage
22:02around the same time
22:03as Dr. Schaefer's death.
22:04We can prove we didn't do it.
22:07How?
22:08Ask the bartender at Dominic's.
22:10We were there
22:10until the police picked us up.
22:15She's lying.
22:18About what?
22:19The murder?
22:20The infidelity.
22:22She's the one stepping out,
22:23not her husband.
22:24How do you know that?
22:25Her nervous tick,
22:26the way she was twisting
22:27her wedding ring.
22:27I bet she was the one
22:29calling the doctor
22:29behind her husband's back
22:30for the prescription.
22:32Okay, let's start with her ally.
22:34Olive wants to see you in the morgue.
22:36Okay, you call the bar,
22:38and I'll go talk to Olive.
22:39Yeah?
22:39All right.
22:41The puncture marks on his clothes
22:42all line up with the stab wounds.
22:44And the blood seeped through his scrubs
22:46and his lab coat
22:47almost everywhere
22:48except for right there.
22:49His breast pocket.
22:50It's no bloodstains.
22:52All right.
22:53I'm not sure why.
22:54Maybe his coat fell open
22:56during the murder.
22:57But I called
22:58because I found something else.
23:08She had an injection mark?
23:10I didn't notice it at the scene
23:11because I was focused
23:12on the multiple stab wounds,
23:14which may have been
23:14the killer's agenda
23:15because the toxicology report
23:17showed a high dose
23:19of hospital-grade propofol
23:21in his system.
23:22Propofol?
23:23What's that?
23:23It's a drug used
23:24to sedate patients for surgery.
23:26So if I lured him into a room
23:27and jabbed him with a propofol,
23:28would that incapacitate him
23:30fast enough
23:31that I could stab him to death
23:32before he attacked me?
23:33Absolutely.
23:34It works fast.
23:35Less than 60 seconds.
23:36Okay, well, that would certainly
23:37account for the lack
23:38of defensive wounds.
23:39He couldn't defend himself.
23:41Hospital-grade drugs
23:42are locked up.
23:43To access the propofol,
23:45you'd need to be
23:45a medical professional.
23:47Which means Schaefer
23:49was murdered by someone
23:49working in the hospital.
23:56So the bartender confirmed
23:57our Love Island couple
23:59was there all afternoon
24:00getting sloshed.
24:01So not our killers.
24:02Olive says that Dr. Schaefer
24:03was dosed with propofol
24:04before he was stabbed.
24:05And we know he went
24:06into a private room
24:07with the killer
24:08and closed the door.
24:09So it had to be
24:09someone he trusted.
24:10Well, clearly he wasn't
24:11expecting a shiv
24:12to the sternum.
24:13If the propofol
24:14is hospital, great.
24:15Go back and check
24:15and see if they're
24:16missing any.
24:16Follow the drugs.
24:18Find the killer.
24:23Is that my stress ball?
24:25It was a stressful day.
24:27Sorry.
24:29Oh, I need this stuff
24:31on an IV drip.
24:33So you were saying
24:34all the drugs are locked up
24:36in a pharmacy cabinet?
24:37Yes, and everything
24:38is logged.
24:39Employee codes,
24:41patient name,
24:41dosage.
24:42And only nurses
24:44and anesthesiologists
24:45can unlock it.
24:47So if a doctor
24:47needs something,
24:48they go through a nurse.
24:50This is everything
24:52from today.
24:53I will have
24:54a proper audit run,
24:55but it may take
24:56some time.
24:57And I need permission
24:59from Dr. Keaton.
25:00Now that Dr. Schaefer's gone,
25:02Dr. Keaton
25:02is the new
25:03chief of the ER.
25:05Interesting.
25:05Interesting.
25:06What was his relationship
25:09like with Dr. Schaefer?
25:10Less than ideal.
25:13They were really
25:13at each other's throats
25:14this morning.
25:15What about?
25:16Who knows?
25:17You know,
25:17I didn't mention it earlier
25:19because, well,
25:20they were always at it.
25:21They're like
25:21a couple of chihuahuas,
25:23you know,
25:23yapping over who's bigger.
25:26Sorry, Gail.
25:27You're needed in Bay 3.
25:29Okay.
25:30Excuse me.
25:32Well,
25:33let's see if Dr. Keaton's
25:34bite is worse
25:35than his bark.
25:40This would go
25:41a whole lot faster
25:42if you'd help.
25:44Oh,
25:45don't forget to look
25:45under the couch.
25:49Or
25:50you could call in Bay
25:52and tell me
25:53why you're here.
25:56I told you.
25:59I am here
26:00looking for
26:01my scarab ring,
26:03which is one of a kind
26:04and very important to me.
26:06Heart-wrenching.
26:08Is this it?
26:11You found it.
26:12Where was it?
26:13It was in your jacket pocket
26:14where it's been
26:15this whole time.
26:16What?
26:16Well,
26:17that's crazy.
26:18It must have fallen off.
26:19Cut the performance, Vivian.
26:20You lied about the ring.
26:23Tell me why
26:23you're really here.
26:24Schaefer was a liar.
26:29I sunk 50 grand
26:30into a medical startup
26:31that he pitched.
26:32I lost 49.
26:33This morning,
26:34I find out that the bastard
26:35didn't even invest
26:35any of his own money.
26:37He was screwing with me.
26:38The nurse will be by
26:39with your release papers.
26:40Wow,
26:40that's a lot of money.
26:42I know what you're getting at.
26:44We fought all the time
26:45and the guy was a prick,
26:47but I didn't kill him.
26:48Well,
26:48you're probably happy
26:49you don't have to play
26:49second fiddle anymore
26:50now that you're
26:51ER chief.
26:53I don't want his job
26:54if that's what you're inferring.
26:55I got a better offer
26:56somewhere else.
26:57I'll be out here
26:57at the end of the month.
27:02Schaefer was a jerk,
27:04okay,
27:04but I respected him.
27:06You don't save
27:07as many lives
27:08as he did
27:09without ruffling
27:09a few feathers.
27:11Now,
27:12if there's nothing else,
27:13I've got a job to do.
27:15That's all these doctors
27:16could learn a thing or two
27:17about Bedside Manor.
27:19Do you remember
27:19what you told me
27:20about Schaefer's lab coat
27:21where there was no blood
27:22on the breast pocket?
27:24Well,
27:24what if there was something
27:25inside the pocket
27:26stopping the blood
27:27from seeping out?
27:28Nothing was found
27:29in his pockets.
27:30I know,
27:31but what if it was
27:32taken out
27:32after he died
27:33before we got there?
27:34Let's go back
27:35to the person
27:35who found the body.
27:38Can you open
27:38your locker for us,
27:39Gail?
27:40Why?
27:41This is a waste of time.
27:43Look,
27:43you can do it
27:44or we can get security
27:44to do it.
27:45It's up to you.
27:47Oh,
27:47no need for security.
27:49Wait,
27:50okay,
27:50you can't do that.
27:51She cannot do that.
27:52I've never stopped her
27:53before.
27:54What are you looking for?
27:57We're looking for this.
27:59So,
28:08this is why
28:10you killed him?
28:12No.
28:15He told me
28:15not to get my hopes up.
28:17When did he say that?
28:20This morning.
28:21You applied
28:22for another job
28:23in the hospital.
28:23I love the ER
28:27but
28:28I'm just done.
28:32Sooner or later
28:33everyone gets burnt out
28:34and I just want more time
28:35with my husband
28:36and my kids.
28:37Did you want the job
28:38bad enough
28:38that you'd kill?
28:39No.
28:41I swear.
28:42I mean,
28:43I wouldn't blame you.
28:44Dr. Schaefer
28:45is a hard ass
28:46and full of himself.
28:48Certainly seems
28:48like the kind of guy
28:49who would try
28:49and block your promotion
28:50just to be spiteful.
28:51That's why you decided
28:52to kill him.
28:53So that he would not
28:54recommend you to the hospital?
28:55I did not kill
28:57Dr. Schaefer.
28:59Yeah,
28:59I thought that he was
29:00going to give me
29:01a bad performance review.
29:05So when I
29:06found his body
29:07and I saw the letter
29:08I took it.
29:12I was going to rip it up.
29:13Then
29:14you read it.
29:15Yeah.
29:16I am reluctant
29:20to recommend
29:21Gail Holloway
29:22to the position
29:23of health administrator.
29:24Not because
29:25she lacks ability
29:26but because
29:27I don't want
29:28to lose her.
29:33In the first week
29:34we worked together
29:35Gail had to
29:36re-home her father
29:37because of his
29:38rapidly progressing
29:39Alzheimer's.
29:40It was an extremely
29:41difficult personal
29:42situation
29:42but she never
29:43let anything
29:44get in the way
29:44of the care she gave
29:45to her patients.
29:46For the last 10 years
29:47she's managed
29:48the emergency room
29:49and me
29:50with the same
29:51dedication,
29:52patience and grace.
29:54Even though
29:55I'll hate to lose Gail
29:56you'll be lucky
29:58to have her.
29:59I was going
30:00to copy that
30:01onto a clean
30:03sheet of paper
30:03and present it
30:04to the board.
30:05You tampered
30:06with a crime scene
30:07Gail.
30:07It's very serious.
30:09Yes.
30:09I know it's wrong
30:10and I am sorry.
30:11I can't believe
30:18that he remembered
30:18all that stuff
30:19about my father.
30:20That was 10 years ago.
30:23You know,
30:23none of us
30:24ever thought
30:24that Schaefer
30:25gave a damn
30:26about our lives
30:27outside of work.
30:31Turns out
30:31that he had my back
30:32the whole time
30:33and now I'm never
30:36going to get
30:36to thank him.
30:37That is one
30:45sad, scared lady.
30:46She should be scared.
30:48She corrupted
30:48a crime scene
30:49and she lied
30:49to us about it.
30:50That's true,
30:51but do you actually
30:51think she killed him?
30:52Oh, no.
30:53I don't.
30:55Hospital just called.
30:56Nurses finished
30:57their drug audit.
30:58Okay.
30:58Any issues?
30:59You could say that.
31:00There's a vial
31:01of propofol missing.
31:02Oh.
31:03Paging us
31:04again.
31:05You do realize
31:09we're talking
31:10life or death
31:11because of what you did.
31:13We're all in
31:14Gideon Vargas' crosshairs.
31:15You think I don't know that?
31:16Just tell me the truth.
31:17Why the ring gag?
31:19Was it some kind of test?
31:20I wanted something
31:21to break the ice.
31:23The truth is
31:24while I know George
31:25and I know Max,
31:26you are an unknown
31:27variable to me.
31:28And in this game,
31:29I don't like unknown variables.
31:31Especially not
31:31in my own family.
31:32Your family?
31:34You haven't been around
31:34for the last 15 years.
31:36Hell, you haven't even
31:36been alive.
31:37Everything I've done,
31:39whether you approve
31:40of it or not,
31:41has been for my husband
31:42and daughter.
31:43You have to know that.
31:44All I know
31:44is what your death
31:45did to both Max
31:47and George.
31:49They were devastated.
31:50And I was the one
31:51who stayed with them.
31:51Holding things together,
31:53keeping them in the game.
31:54Not to mention
31:54cooking and cleaning
31:56and making coffee
31:57that reduces
31:58grown men to tears.
31:59You want to talk
32:00unknown variables?
32:03Honey,
32:04take a look
32:04in the mirror.
32:12How does an entire
32:13vial of propofol
32:14just go unaccounted for?
32:16Doesn't it take a nurse
32:17or anesthesiologist
32:18to access drugs?
32:19Yes,
32:19but in critical cases,
32:21we don't have time
32:22to send someone
32:22a requisition of drug
32:23from the pharmacy.
32:24That's when the
32:25mobile drug cards
32:26like that one
32:27come into play.
32:28Aren't those things
32:29locked?
32:29Yeah, always.
32:31But in emergency
32:32procedures,
32:32I mean,
32:33seconds matter.
32:33So we keep it
32:34unlocked for easy access.
32:36So anyone
32:38could just grab
32:39whatever vial
32:39they wanted
32:40from the medical cart,
32:41then?
32:41I suppose it's possible.
32:42I mean,
32:43all of our attention
32:43is on the patient.
32:45The drug monitoring
32:46procedures,
32:47it's an imperfect system.
32:48It's designed
32:49to catch patterns
32:50of misuse.
32:51People stealing drugs,
32:52not to locate
32:52a missing vial.
32:54Okay,
32:55how many times
32:55was the cart
32:56used this morning?
32:57Well,
33:03this narrows it down.
33:05Only one time
33:05for a trauma patient.
33:07Kara Blake,
33:07car accident.
33:09Dr. Keaton,
33:10motorcycle MBA
33:10incoming,
33:11trauma bay 2.
33:11Excuse me.
33:12Yeah,
33:12of course.
33:14Okay,
33:14so anyone
33:15working that trauma
33:16could have had access
33:17to that propofol
33:18and used it
33:19to incapacitate Schaefer.
33:20Too bad
33:21there aren't cameras
33:21in the trauma bay area
33:22recording everything
33:23that happens.
33:24We might not have
33:25a camera,
33:25but I think
33:27we got the next
33:27best thing.
33:36This could end
33:37my whole career.
33:38It's already hanging
33:39on by a thread.
33:40So you took
33:41the vial of the pool.
33:42No.
33:43But it went missing
33:44during Kara Blake's
33:45procedure.
33:46Why does any
33:47of this matter now?
33:48The patient recovered.
33:49It was just a blip.
33:52What was a blip?
33:53Propofol
33:58instead of ketamine.
34:01Okay,
34:02do me a favor.
34:02Let's just start
34:03from the beginning.
34:05The patient
34:06was brought
34:07into trauma care.
34:08Dr. Schaefer
34:09prescribed 10 milligrams
34:10of ketamine
34:10and intubation.
34:11But Kara
34:12wasn't given ketamine.
34:13She was given
34:13propofol.
34:14Are those two drugs
34:15interchangeable?
34:17Well,
34:18both ketamine
34:19and propofol
34:20are used
34:20to state patients.
34:22However,
34:22in a trauma case
34:23like that,
34:23a hypotensive patient
34:24who's lost
34:25a lot of blood
34:25has a much higher
34:26risk of flatlining
34:27on propofol.
34:30Which is exactly
34:31what happened.
34:32Right.
34:33The truth is,
34:34Kara Blake
34:35should never
34:36have flatlined.
34:39Who administered
34:40the propofol?
34:41She's Dr. Devereaux.
34:44Wouldn't she
34:44have known
34:45the risks?
34:46She would have.
34:46She's one of the best
34:47anesthesiologists
34:47in this city.
34:49But I've been
34:49on a rotation
34:50for a couple
34:50of months now
34:51and I've never
34:51once seen her
34:52use propofol.
34:53Couldn't she
34:54have made a mistake?
34:55She must have.
34:55Everything happened
34:56so fast.
34:57It was the first
34:57time I intubated.
34:58I think she just
35:00grabbed the wrong vial.
35:03After the patient
35:03was stabilized,
35:04I saw Dr. Schaefer
35:05take her to the side.
35:07She was in tears.
35:08And then later
35:13she came to me
35:14and she asked me
35:14to change my nose
35:15to say that
35:16Academy
35:16was administered.
35:19Not propofol.
35:20So you did
35:21falsify the report.
35:22She's a doctor.
35:23I'm an intern.
35:24If I want to have
35:25any sort of career
35:26at all,
35:27I just do
35:27what I'm told.
35:29Besides,
35:29the patient is fine.
35:31We all make mistakes,
35:32right?
35:33What if it wasn't
35:34a mistake?
35:35Were you saying
35:36that Dr. Devereaux
35:37wanted?
35:38The patient
35:39to flatline?
35:39That's crazy,
35:42right?
35:43Why would you
35:43want to do that
35:44to a total stranger?
35:49Ellis,
35:49what you got?
35:50A doctor's name.
35:50We need to link
35:51to our victim.
35:52Simmons and Yates
35:52are in the field,
35:53but I can run
35:54those names for you.
35:55See if we can
35:55find a link.
35:59You can't be serious.
36:00We're serious,
36:01all right.
36:02Is everything okay?
36:03A doctor just asked
36:03me to step out
36:04while she examines
36:05Kara.
36:05Stop.
36:09Put it down
36:09right now.
36:11Don't make me
36:12use this.
36:20It's the missing
36:20biolapropofol.
36:24Robin,
36:25what the hell?
36:26A dose this size
36:27would have killed her.
36:28Why would you do this?
36:29Dr. Devereaux,
36:30you're under arrest
36:30for the murder
36:31of Dr. Schaefer
36:31and the attempted
36:32murder of Kara Blake.
36:35Turn around,
36:35put your hands
36:36behind your back.
36:40All right,
36:40let's go.
36:47Kara Blake
36:47murdered her.
36:49My mother
36:50was coming home
36:51from volunteering
36:51at her local food bank
36:53like she did
36:54every Sunday
36:54for 30 years.
36:57She stopped
36:58at a convenience store
36:59for a carton of milk.
37:00Yes,
37:01we looked up the case.
37:02Your mother
37:03interrupted a robbery.
37:04The shooter
37:04was caught on camera.
37:06It was an open
37:06and shut case.
37:08But during the trial,
37:09the defense attorney
37:10found a minor
37:11clerical error
37:12made by the arresting
37:14officers
37:14and got the shooter off.
37:16And that lawyer
37:17was Kara Blake.
37:18We knew about
37:18the technicality
37:19before she presented it.
37:20So I went to her office
37:22and I begged her
37:23not to do it.
37:25She threw me out.
37:27Said that her responsibility
37:28was to her client,
37:30not to justice.
37:33Blame the system,
37:34she said.
37:37She set him free.
37:40Not the system.
37:42So that morning,
37:43in the ER,
37:44when you heard
37:44Kara Blake's name,
37:46you decided
37:47to do something about it.
37:48You saw a moment
37:49for revenge.
37:51I saw a moment
37:52to right a wrong.
37:54Look,
37:55with all due respect
37:56for what happened
37:56to your mother,
37:58two wrongs
37:58were never going
37:59to make that right.
38:12It was routine
38:13for a patient
38:14with those type of injuries
38:15to be given a sedative.
38:16So when Dr. Schaefer
38:17ordered ketamine,
38:18she used propofol instead,
38:19knowing that it would
38:20cause Kara to flatline.
38:22She tried a sleight of hand,
38:23grabbing one vial
38:24over another,
38:25not realizing the intern
38:26had seen it.
38:27Or that Dr. Schaefer
38:28would have remembered
38:29the name Kara Blake.
38:30He couldn't place it
38:31at first,
38:32and then he looked it up,
38:33and he recognized her
38:34right away.
38:34And once he made
38:35that connection,
38:36he knew that Dr. Devereaux
38:37had administered
38:38the wrong drugs
38:38on purpose.
38:40He told her
38:41he was going to file
38:41a report with the medical
38:42board and with police.
38:43And, well,
38:45at that point,
38:46she knew her life
38:47was over.
38:48So she incapacitated
38:49Dr. Schaefer
38:49with that same drug
38:50so she could kill him.
38:51Yeah, and the multiple
38:53stab wound just to throw
38:54suspicion elsewhere.
38:55What the hell are you,
38:56you son of a bitch?
38:57An out-of-control patient
38:58who threatened Dr. Schaefer
38:59made for a perfect suspect.
39:02So she unlocked the door
39:03and let him out?
39:06The justice system
39:07is not perfect,
39:08and it's hard on all of us
39:10when it doesn't deliver
39:10the way it should.
39:13But Kara Blake
39:13was just doing her job.
39:16Just like you two did today.
39:18Good work.
39:20Thank you, sir.
39:20Keep it up.
39:24Ah.
39:29Ah, well, uh,
39:31you need a ride?
39:36As long as you don't
39:37mind stopping
39:37so I can grab
39:38some food first.
39:40I haven't eaten all day.
39:41I think looking at those
39:42bedpans really took away
39:44my appetite.
39:45I think we can do that.
40:03Mmm.
40:07Pork one?
40:08I'm good.
40:09Thanks.
40:09God, I love
40:11these things.
40:12Even if they aren't
40:13imperfect food.
40:14Sometimes pork,
40:15sometimes bun.
40:16You never know
40:17what you're gonna get,
40:17but I can't stop trying.
40:19You know, maybe I should
40:20get some for Jess.
40:21She's been working all day.
40:22I don't even know
40:22if she ate.
40:22You should do that.
40:24Turn the car around.
40:26Yeah.
40:27Okay.
40:29So,
40:30how are things, uh,
40:32going between you two?
40:34They're, uh,
40:34they're good.
40:35Yeah.
40:39Um,
40:39we should all go out sometime.
40:44Love for you to get to know her.
40:45Yeah.
40:46I would love that.
40:50Great.
40:53Um,
40:53let me just text Ricky
40:55and see if he wants a pork bun, too.
40:56Are you interested in pork buns?
41:03Oh, no, thank you.
41:05Too much bun,
41:06not enough pork.
41:07Not worth the inevitable
41:08disappointment.
41:10On that,
41:11we agree.
41:14Maybe we can be friends.
41:17We don't need to be friends.
41:19We just need to get the job done.
41:23Vivian,
41:23I want a fairy tale ending
41:26for you and Max and George,
41:28but I'm going to keep
41:30a very close eye on you
41:31because they're my family.
41:34Then I'd die for those crazy cats.
41:37Fair enough.
41:39Ah.
41:43I should get going.
41:46Uh,
41:47one last thing.
41:49By the way,
41:50how did you know
41:51about the ring?
41:52Uh,
41:53it's the kind of thing
41:54Max would do.
41:55And if I may say so,
41:57it was too easy.
41:58If we're going to survive this,
41:59you need to bring your A-game.
42:04Oh, sorry.
42:05Um,
42:06this is actually
42:08the last thing.
42:09I promise.
42:14Maybe next time
42:15we should review
42:16our definition of A-game.
42:18And you don't have much there.
42:19you better get cracking.
42:21Bonsoir,
42:22and thank you for the wine.
