00:06I need help.
00:07This car pulled up and dumped this kid on the sidewalk.
00:09Which room's open?
00:11Jasper threw up again.
00:12Look at this.
00:13This kid's a drug mule.
00:15Is Dr. Manning with you?
00:16Not.
00:17She's pregnant, actually.
00:18Congratulations.
00:19Feels like someone else is always more important.
00:22It's only gonna get worse with a new baby.
00:25Write a note to Will and see what happens.
00:29Help!
00:30Excuse me, ma'am.
00:31I need the balloons he swallowed.
00:32That's not happening.
00:33Easy now.
00:34Do you want to die?
00:35No, but it doesn't scare me anymore.
00:39Megan!
00:40Megan!
00:50Owen!
01:01Dr. Halstead?
01:04Dr. Halstead?
01:08Sorry.
01:09What did you say, Miss Goodwin?
01:10Oh, I was just seeing how you're doing.
01:12Is there anything I can get you?
01:15Dean, what the hell's going on?
01:17It's been forever.
01:18Okay, we had to resect multiple sections of bowel and mobilize his colon, but I'm pretty
01:24confident that he won't experience any long-term deficits from those injuries.
01:27Those injuries?
01:29There's more?
01:30The bullet did some damage to his kidneys, unfortunately.
01:35I mean, the right one was effectively obliterated.
01:39But the left is okay, though, right?
01:41Well, yes and no.
01:42Well, it seems Owen's got a congenital abnormality called horseshoe kidney.
01:47Are you aware of that?
01:49No, I was not.
01:51Horseshoe?
01:52Yes.
01:53Instead of having two discrete kidneys, Owen's are connected by, um, I guess you'd say an
01:59isthmus of tissue, common blood supply.
02:01We've already removed the right kidney, and we're trying to ensure that the left is perfused
02:06and, uh, functional with the remnant blood supply.
02:10So, that's where we're at.
02:12I just wanted to give you an update.
02:13Thank you, Dean.
02:14Sure.
02:18Okay.
02:18So, do we know if Natalie's on her way?
02:22She's on a red-eye, yeah.
02:27Excuse me, sorry.
02:32Daniel?
02:34What are you doing here?
02:36I'm picking you up.
02:37I haven't been able to reach Will yet to get an update on Owen.
02:40Hey, look, I just talked to Sharon, okay?
02:43Owen's still in surgery, but it's going well.
02:45He's still in surgery?
02:47It's Dean, okay?
02:48He's in excellent hands.
02:49Listen, we're gonna get Owen through this, all right?
02:53Gonna make sure that you all get through this.
02:56Cole, Will.
02:59Oh.
03:02Is Dean still working on that kid?
03:04Yeah.
03:05Must be one hell of a mess.
03:08So, how'd it feel?
03:10Staring down the barrel of a gun.
03:12Only the second time in a year.
03:14Wish I could say I'd gotten used to it.
03:16You ever feel like maybe it's you?
03:19You know, not until you just said that.
03:21Thank you so much.
03:22You're welcome.
03:23Meanwhile, man, Lennox, on the other hand,
03:26didn't even register.
03:27Like, she didn't care if she got shot or not.
03:30Well, she's a combat vet.
03:33They're built different.
03:35Maybe.
03:35A couple of MVC Vicks.
03:37One is in pretty bad shape.
03:39Traumas two and three are ready to go.
03:41Dr. Frost, you with me?
03:42Absolutely.
03:44Julie Wheeler, 32, went through the windshield.
03:47Scout Black with a GCS of three.
03:49VPs 150 over 76.
03:50Airways secured with an IGEL.
03:52He and his partner got plowed into by an 18-wheeler.
03:54On my count, one, two, three.
03:59Go get the other intake.
04:01On it.
04:03All right, talk to me, guys.
04:05Corey Graham, restrained driver, airbag deployed, GCS of 15.
04:09Heart rate 93, BP 130 over 80.
04:11Hasn't complained of much pain.
04:12Okay.
04:13Transfer on three.
04:14One, two, three.
04:17The truck's first, so suddenly there's nothing I could do.
04:19Okay, Corey, I'm Dr. Frost.
04:21I'm going to take good care of you, okay?
04:22Just relax.
04:23How's Julie?
04:24I need to see him.
04:26Whoa, we're going to have to have you sit still
04:27until we clear your C-spine, okay?
04:29External rub?
04:30No response.
04:31What's going on in there?
04:33I can't see.
04:34You shouldn't be alone.
04:35Corey, look, Dr. Lennox is going to take good care of him in there, okay?
04:39I'm right here, baby.
04:41Can you hear me?
04:42You got to tell me you're okay, Julian.
04:47Help him.
05:05I should have just taken him to the game like I promised.
05:09No, Will, you got to stop blaming yourself.
05:12If the phone doesn't pull through, I will never forgive myself.
05:22There you are.
05:24Hi.
05:25Hi.
05:25Hannah.
05:26Any more updates from Dean?
05:28Not since we last spoke.
05:30I'm so sorry.
05:36I need to see my son.
05:38Are you?
05:39Yeah.
05:39Yeah.
06:10I need to see my son.
06:11I was found floating in the river, face down.
06:14No name?
06:15No wallet, no ID, no cell phone.
06:18First responders thought he might have been trying to drown himself.
06:22He looks suicidal to you?
06:28Good morning.
06:29I'm Dr. Ripley.
06:30And, uh, what would your name be?
06:32Why am I what?
06:34Well, you, uh, you seem to have been floating in the Chicago River.
06:37A bystander helped to fish you out.
06:39That was awfully nice of them.
06:41Yes, it was.
06:42Uh, someone mentioned that you were, uh, limping.
06:44You mind if I take a look at your feet?
06:46No.
06:47Great.
06:48Uh, scissors and he missed that.
06:50Copy.
06:52There you go.
06:54Thanks, Trini.
06:58But you haven't changed these in a while.
07:06Wow.
07:14Would you look at that?
07:18Mr. Graham?
07:20I assume you've already gleaned that your partner suffered a devastating injury to his head and upper spinal cord.
07:27The neurologist examined Julian, and the reflexes in his brain stem were absent.
07:34A cerebral perfusion scan has shown no blood flow to the brain.
07:39Meaning what, exactly?
07:41Julian is brain dead, Corey.
07:43Corey, with no hope of recovery.
07:47I'm very sorry.
07:49Are you two married?
07:51Um, uh, not officially, but we've been living together almost seven years.
07:56I assume you're his medical surrogate?
07:58Well, he has.
07:59Or, had.
08:02Um, yes.
08:08What happens now?
08:09Well, the next step will be for us to take off his ventilator and let nature take its course.
08:17Well.
08:20Listen, if you need some time to process all of this, Corey, we don't need to do this right now.
08:25No.
08:25Do this as soon as possible.
08:30Okay.
08:32I suppose I should notify his parents.
08:34They haven't really spoken in the past few years, but decent thing to do, right?
08:46Hey, I heard you, uh, caught a guy with trench foot?
08:49I haven't seen a whole lot of that since, like, World War I.
08:52Yeah, we didn't find much beyond the trench foot.
08:55Only thing on his exam was a diastolic heart murmur.
08:58Head CT and labs are all normal.
09:00Nothing to explain his amnesia on the medical eval.
09:03No luck at all ID in the guy?
09:04No.
09:05Doris spoke to the police.
09:07No record yet of any missing persons in the vicinity that matches description.
09:11And then, of course, is the question, is he of any danger to himself?
09:15Right.
09:16Beyond the self-neglect.
09:18Mm.
09:20Earl Grey, milk and sugar.
09:27Congratulations on the baby.
09:29I know the time isn't necessarily optimal, but I'm very happy for the both of you.
09:40I remember when I was pregnant with Owen.
09:44Yeah, during your residency.
09:46Yeah.
09:48It was around this stage of my pregnancy that I found out my husband had been killed in combat.
09:55Jeffrey.
09:55Jeffrey.
09:57I remember.
10:00You know, they say this is supposed to be the happiest time in a woman's life.
10:07So why do I feel so cursed?
10:11I'm so sorry, Natalie.
10:16What is it?
10:18So, uh, we tried our best with the renal reconstruction.
10:22But what's left of Owen's kidney, it's just not functional.
10:26The injury was just too severe.
10:28Oh.
10:29They're going to start Owen on dialysis.
10:31Dialysis?
10:32For how long?
10:33Not long.
10:33Just until we can find a donor for transplant.
10:35And I'll reach out to Organ Donors of America directly.
10:38And, uh, I feel I just must emphasize here that this is by no means a death sentence.
10:43Your boy is young and healthy, and as a transplant recipient myself, I can testify to the long-term prognosis.
10:51It won't take long.
10:52I know it.
10:53In fact, Dean, you should HLA test me.
10:55See if I'm a match.
10:56Yeah.
10:57We should reach out to Jeff's family as well.
10:59Doesn't he have a cousin that lives nearby?
11:00Uh, yeah.
11:01I'll, I'll give her a call.
11:10This is not the way I want to remember you.
11:14I thought we were going to be together forever.
11:19It's you and me, baby.
11:22Remember?
11:25You promised.
11:28You promised, sunshine.
11:30I'm going to be so cold without you.
11:42Okay, I'm ready now.
11:45Are you sure?
11:46Can I keep holding his hand?
11:48Of course.
11:49Yeah.
11:55Stop!
11:56Wait, wait.
11:58We've been ordered to keep Julian on life support for now.
12:00Ordered by who?
12:04His parents.
12:20To be honest, we are more than a little dismayed that you were in such a hurry to unplug our
12:26son.
12:26I assure you, Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler, Drs. Lennox and Frost were following standard protocol.
12:33I believe you stated you were his medical surrogate.
12:36I thought I was.
12:38It seems there was some kind of will drawn up when he was a teenager.
12:41It's part of the family trust.
12:42It doesn't change anything in my mind.
12:45It doesn't change anything in my mind.
12:45We were together.
12:47He wanted me to make these kinds of decisions for him.
12:50I guess a judge will determine that.
12:52Julian is dead.
12:53That's not something you need a judge to decide.
12:57Georgia and I would like to have a moment alone with our son.
13:00Of course, we moved him to the ICU.
13:03I'll show you up there.
13:07Shame on you.
13:09You should have waited.
13:17Hey, Doris.
13:18Have you seen Dean?
13:18I wanted to get an update on Owen.
13:21Uh, yeah.
13:24There's a whole lot of history in there, huh?
13:27You want me to ask him to come step out?
13:29Oh, okay.
13:29You need to get a hobby.
13:31Oh, okay.
13:35Oh.
13:39You know, I'm going to head to phlebotomy.
13:40Yeah.
13:43And Jeff's cousin, Tureen, said she would help,
13:45but she's currently undergoing chemo.
13:47So, have you reached out to ODA yet?
13:49I'm, uh, I'm going to give you guys some privacy.
13:52So, there aren't any matches as of this moment,
13:56at least not in this geographical area.
13:57I'm sorry, Natalie.
13:59I was really hoping I'd be a candidate.
14:01But you just temporized Owen's injuries for now, right, Dean?
14:04You didn't close him up yet.
14:06No, not yet.
14:07Look, in a perfect world,
14:08we'd be able to find him a suitable donor
14:10as soon as possible before we close him,
14:12and his scar tissue starts building up.
14:14Now, that said,
14:16waiting is more than a viable alternative.
14:18Well, we can medvec from home, Natalie.
14:20It'd be a lot easier for him to recover there,
14:22get him back in his routine.
14:24And what happens if we don't find a donor right away?
14:27Well, after we close him,
14:28we'd have to wait at least four months
14:30for his scar tissue to soften,
14:32allowing for the best surgical environment
14:33for transplantation.
14:34Four months?
14:35On dialysis?
14:37That would leave him incredibly vulnerable
14:38to infection, right?
14:40That would be a risk.
14:41Yeah, but not an overwhelming one.
14:42No, there's no getting him back to routine, Will.
14:45There's no sports, no swimming.
14:47No, he needs a new kidney now.
14:50I will donate one of mine if necessary.
14:52Baby.
14:53There is a chance I am a good match, right?
14:56You can't donate an organ right now.
14:59You're pregnant.
15:03That's a non-starter, right?
15:04I gotta say, Natalie, as a friend,
15:06I strongly recommend against that.
15:09In a perfect world,
15:10Owen receives a new organ
15:12today.
15:13Your words, not mine.
15:16I'm going to get tested.
15:17In the meantime,
15:18let's proceed as if I wore a match.
15:25You know, I'm feeling kind of rude
15:27not being able to call you by your name.
15:30Should we just pick out a temporary one,
15:32you know, try it on for size?
15:34Okay.
15:35I'm good with whatever.
15:37Oh, come on, man.
15:37You gotta pick.
15:38If you're a temporary name,
15:39the first thing pops into your head.
15:44No luck?
15:46Hmm.
15:48Okay, maybe you can tell me
15:51what you were thinking
15:52when you jumped into the river today.
15:56It's a beautiful day, isn't it?
15:58Sorry, you mean
15:59that's what you were thinking then
16:00or now?
16:03What?
16:05It's a beautiful day.
16:07If you say so.
16:09No, no, no, I was just,
16:10I was repeating what you said.
16:14How long do you think this might take?
16:19A dissociative fugue state.
16:21I mean, the tracks,
16:22the amnesia, the wandering.
16:24But how did somebody even
16:25fall into something like that?
16:26Did he hit his head?
16:27This initially needs to be
16:29a physical trauma.
16:30So how do you snap him out of it?
16:31Is this technique called EMDR?
16:33I read about this.
16:35Eye movement desensitization
16:36and reprocessing, right?
16:37Yep.
16:38Had some success with it.
16:40But without knowing
16:41what triggered the guy
16:42in the first place,
16:43it could easily turn into
16:45a bit of a goose chase.
16:46You know, still no word
16:47from the authorities
16:48in terms of IDing this guy?
16:49No, nothing.
16:52The thing I'm wondering
16:53is if him ending up
16:55in the Chicago River
16:57was not a random event.
16:59Maybe. Why?
17:01There's this thing
17:02that can happen in a fugue state
17:03that's called purposeful wandering.
17:05If you had to guess,
17:06how long would you say
17:07that our guy's had trench foot?
17:09Given the skin deterioration
17:10on his feet,
17:12at least three weeks.
17:13The fit young guy
17:14walking through swamp, wetlands,
17:17is gonna average what, like...
17:20Distance?
17:20Yeah.
17:22Maybe 20, 30 miles a day?
17:24So times a month,
17:26there'd be roughly...
17:27He might have traveled
17:28up to 1,000 miles by now.
17:32Hey, Doris?
17:32Yeah?
17:33Do me a favor and ask CPD
17:34to expand their search
17:35a little bit, would you?
17:36I'll, uh, I'll draw you a map.
17:38Okay.
17:41Hey.
17:43Sorry to interrupt.
17:44Just have some aftercare instructions
17:45for you to go over.
17:47Not sure what I'm supposed
17:48to be doing.
17:50Half of me is thinking
17:51I should give them some privacy.
17:52The other half feels like
17:53I need to be here
17:54to protect Julian.
17:58Look, if I'm asking
17:59anything too personal,
18:00just tell me
18:01to mind my own business,
18:02all right?
18:02But this estrangement
18:04between Julian and his parents?
18:07It wasn't because of you, was it?
18:09You mean because we're gay?
18:12No, they stopped speaking
18:13for the most part
18:13before I was even in the picture.
18:16Julian didn't like to talk about it,
18:18but it sounded like
18:19he had a pretty abusive childhood,
18:21at least emotionally, you know?
18:24I tried to get Julian
18:25to reconnect with them,
18:26have them over for dinner
18:27or whatever.
18:29I mean, they're his parents,
18:30but he just
18:31could never really get there.
18:34Excuse me.
18:35Yeah.
18:37Hey.
18:38Is everything okay?
18:40It's just really hard
18:41to see our baby boy like that.
18:43He was still so young.
18:45I'm very sorry for your loss.
18:48Julian's our only child,
18:50and I know that we are
18:51partially to blame
18:52for the estrangement
18:53over the years.
18:54But we always assume
18:56we'd bridge the gap,
18:57you know, someday,
18:58repair things,
18:59and be part of a family
19:01that he'd have.
19:03Now.
19:05In that light,
19:06before you unplug him,
19:08there's something
19:09we want to ask you.
19:10We don't need to ask
19:11for permission, Whip.
19:13Where's medical surrogates?
19:14Permission to do what?
19:18We want you to retrieve
19:19our son's sperm.
19:29Julian never wanted children,
19:31and if he ever had
19:33any children,
19:34the last thing he'd want
19:35would be for these monsters
19:37to grow them in a test tube
19:39and raise them.
19:40Monsters?
19:41Whip and I
19:42had a perfectly healthy
19:44relationship with him
19:45before you came
19:47and pit him against us.
19:48That's the story
19:48you're telling?
19:49Yes!
19:50They're lying.
19:52She's lying.
19:53Do not speak
19:54to my wife that way.
19:55Ask them about
19:55the padlock they placed
19:56on the outside
19:57of Julian's door.
19:58The outside.
19:59When he was nine,
20:00by the way.
20:00Okay.
20:01All right, please.
20:02This is not the proper
20:04forum for all of this.
20:05Heather, will you please
20:06escort Mr. Wheeler's family
20:08to the waiting room?
20:10I won't be seated
20:11anywhere near that man.
20:13Separate rooms,
20:14please, Heather.
20:15Please.
20:17You can't let this happen.
20:27Dr. Lennox,
20:28medically speaking,
20:29and given the condition
20:30of the patient,
20:31is sperm retrieval
20:33even possible?
20:35Technically, yes.
20:37It's typically accomplished
20:38through edidimum aspiration
20:39or testicular biopsy.
20:42Of course,
20:43time is a factor.
20:44Okay, so tomorrow,
20:45for example,
20:46might be too late?
20:47Most likely.
20:48I'm sorry.
20:49Am I really the only one here
20:51that thinks this is
20:52just super grave robbery?
20:54I mean...
20:56That was the court clerk.
20:59The judge won't be able
21:00to rule on this
21:01until tomorrow,
21:02but they're asking us
21:03to err on the side
21:03of prudence,
21:04go ahead and perform
21:05the retrieval.
21:06Wait, what?
21:07We're really considering
21:08this right now.
21:10Julian is on record
21:11as not wanting
21:12to procreate.
21:13The courts will determine
21:14later whether the parents
21:15can use it
21:15for artificial insemination,
21:17but thankfully,
21:18the onus is not going
21:19to be on us
21:19to make that call.
21:20Yeah, well,
21:21maybe it should be, huh?
21:22All right,
21:22that's enough, Dr. Frost.
21:23I can have someone
21:25and urology do this
21:26if you'd like.
21:27No, no, no.
21:28We'll handle it.
21:38So it looks like
21:39you and our happy wanderer
21:40have something in common.
21:41His name's Daniel, too.
21:43Daniel Hazzuri.
21:44Lieutenant Daniel Hazzuri,
21:46to be exact,
21:47age 26,
21:48reported missing
21:49a little over a month ago
21:51from Naval Air Station
21:52Pensacola.
21:54Approximately 916 miles
21:55from here.
21:57Huh.
21:58Wow.
21:59Top gun candidate.
22:00Third generation aviator,
22:02it seems.
22:02Father was KIA
22:03in the Gulf
22:04about 20 years ago.
22:05That's odd.
22:06I didn't think
22:07they'd let you fly jets
22:08of the diastolic murmur.
22:13Check him out with Pop.
22:14He was a cute little tyke.
22:15I pulled that off
22:16his Facebook.
22:18Okay, now that's interesting.
22:23Look at where
22:24this picture was taken.
22:25Huh.
22:26The Chicago River.
22:28Yeah.
22:29I think we can start
22:31to safely hypothesize
22:32that his journey here
22:35was not completely random.
22:36You think he got enough
22:37to snap him out
22:38of his fugue state?
22:45Okay.
22:46I am not seeing anything
22:47that would disqualify you
22:48from donating per se.
22:50Both you and your baby
22:51are in fine health.
22:52Like I just said,
22:54I literally had
22:54a prenatal checkup
22:55three days ago.
22:56What about her blood pressure?
22:58You said earlier
22:58it was elevated.
22:59Slightly, yes,
23:00but still within normal range.
23:01But the kidneys are integral
23:02in keeping that in check, though.
23:04I mean, we still have
23:04a long way to go
23:05until delivery.
23:07Preeclampsia is always
23:08a risk, yes.
23:10Pregnancy is rough
23:11on the kidneys,
23:12as is, never mind
23:13the added stress
23:13of removing one midterm.
23:15Well, surely you've delivered
23:16babies from women
23:17with one kidney before?
23:18Yes, of course.
23:20But nothing in the literature
23:21has anybody
23:22that has purposefully
23:24removed one midterm.
23:25I guess this will be
23:25one for the journals, then.
23:27You can thank me later
23:28when you get published.
23:30Natalie, she's just
23:31laying out all the risks.
23:32No, she's taking your side,
23:34providing you with
23:34enough coverage
23:35to try to talk me out of this.
23:37So pardon me
23:38if I opt to discount
23:38the opinion of the woman
23:39you used to sleep with.
23:43Why don't I give you
23:44two some privacy?
23:50That was unwarranted
23:51and cruel.
23:52I could say the same
23:53about you.
23:55Are you serious?
23:56Your unwillingness
23:57to have my back
23:57is really pissing me off.
24:00That's not fair, Natalie.
24:01I always have your back
24:02and you know it.
24:02If you just took him
24:04to the game
24:05like you promised.
24:09I would do anything
24:11to walk this whole thing back.
24:12Anything except
24:13let me give him
24:14one of my two kidneys.
24:16Tell the truth.
24:17You were hoping
24:18I wouldn't be a match.
24:20Yeah, please.
24:21No, Will,
24:21I feel like you are
24:22prioritizing your own
24:24child's life
24:24over Owen's
24:26and that
24:27breaks my heart.
24:35Let Dean
24:36know I want to
24:36start the procedure
24:37as soon as possible.
24:51Much like you
24:52learn how to
24:53not touch a hot stove
24:54because you're
24:54going to burn your hand,
24:55your mind can learn
24:56how to repress
24:58certain memories
24:59if they're too unpleasant,
25:00right?
25:01And that can cause
25:02your brain to do
25:02all kinds of
25:03interesting things.
25:04In your case,
25:05Lieutenant,
25:07I think that
25:07it caused you
25:08to fully disassociate
25:09and fall into
25:10what we call
25:10a fugue state.
25:15Why is that funny?
25:16I'm just curious.
25:17Okay, if it is,
25:18I'm just curious
25:18why you're laughing.
25:19You called me
25:20Lieutenant.
25:22That's
25:22so ridiculous.
25:24Well,
25:24you might think
25:25so now,
25:26but
25:27this
25:28dashing young
25:29fighter pilot,
25:31that's you.
25:33So,
25:34what is this?
25:36It's a digital stethoscope.
25:38It's just like
25:38a regular one,
25:39but this one
25:39we can Bluetooth.
25:40Yeah.
25:41You can hear
25:42your heartbeat here.
25:43Let me just
25:43turn it up a little bit.
25:46What we're trying
25:47to do here
25:47is reprocess
25:49your memory circuits
25:50by introducing
25:52unexpected stimuli
25:53and hoping to,
25:54I don't know,
25:55press a reset button
25:56that will allow you
25:57to access your memories.
25:59You want to
26:00give it a shot?
26:01Sure.
26:02How about
26:03you cross your arms
26:04like this,
26:05right hand on the left shoulder,
26:06left hand on the right,
26:07and just close your eyes
26:09and start tapping
26:10gently.
26:11Like this?
26:13Yeah.
26:16Did you turn up
26:16the sound of my heart beating?
26:18I did.
26:19I can hear a little
26:20whoosh now
26:21between the beats.
26:22That's your heart murmur.
26:23Did you know you had one?
26:27Keep tapping.
26:29Your name is
26:30Daniel Azuri
26:32and you fly jets.
26:35If you say so.
26:36Your name is
26:37Lieutenant Daniel Azuri.
26:38You have a heart murmur.
26:41If you say so.
26:44Your name is
26:44Lieutenant Azuri.
26:46You have a heart murmur
26:47and you fly jets.
26:50No, I don't.
26:53What'd you say?
26:55I don't fly jets.
27:00They found a heart murmur
27:01at my last physical.
27:04Just an innocent one,
27:05they said.
27:08But how
27:10innocent could it be
27:11if they were forced
27:12to clip my wings?
27:20What happened to my feet?
27:25Where the hell am I?
27:31I'm sorry.
27:36Natalie.
27:38Dean asked if I would
27:39assist in your nephrectomy.
27:43If you'd feel more comfortable
27:44with another OB-GYN,
27:46though, I'd completely understand.
27:48Maybe that would be
27:49for the best.
27:50Okay.
27:51Dr. Pachevsky's on call.
27:53She's excellent,
27:53as you know.
27:54so I will go
27:55and bring her up to sleep.
27:58You think I'm making
27:59a mistake,
28:00don't you?
28:08This is a hard choice
28:09to make, I know.
28:12I don't envy you.
28:14Well, that's the thing.
28:16it's not that hard
28:17a choice,
28:17because I don't
28:18really have one.
28:20It may look like I do,
28:22but I just
28:25can't watch my boys suffer.
28:28So there you go.
28:31You'll see soon enough.
28:34How far along?
28:35A few weeks behind you.
28:37Congratulations.
28:39I'd be lying
28:40if I didn't say
28:42it's complicated.
28:43What is it?
28:45The truth is,
28:47part of me is sure
28:49I'm doing the wrong thing here.
28:51I mean, I...
28:52I love Will.
28:54He is such
28:56a good father to Owen.
28:58I don't tell him
28:59that enough.
29:00I know he wants
29:02this baby.
29:03I do, too.
29:05And yet,
29:06I'm putting
29:07this pregnancy
29:07in jeopardy.
29:12Frankly,
29:12I'm terrified.
29:16Am I doing
29:17the right thing?
29:20Everything is
29:21going to be okay.
29:23Dean wouldn't be
29:24doing this
29:24if you didn't think so.
29:29I do not
29:30want to lose
29:31this baby, Anna.
29:35That is not
29:36going to happen.
29:40Hey.
29:42Doris found this
29:43in the doctor's lounge.
29:45It's Owen's, yeah?
29:47Thanks.
29:49You don't think
29:50I'm prioritizing
29:51the baby's health
29:52over Owen's, do you?
29:53Will, come on.
29:54I mean,
29:54I'd like to think
29:55I'm above having
29:56those kind of thoughts,
29:56but like I told you
29:58yesterday,
29:59Owen's been kind of
29:59hating on me
30:00for a while now.
30:02I don't know.
30:02Who knows
30:02how the subconscious
30:03works?
30:03Maybe this is
30:04some kind of
30:04weird retaliation
30:05on my part.
30:06Will, don't do
30:07this to yourself.
30:08I know for certain
30:09that Owen does
30:10not hate you.
30:12Not even close.
30:13Miss Goodman,
30:14that's nice of you
30:14to say, but
30:15how could you
30:16really know?
30:18Look,
30:19I gave him
30:20a notebook
30:21yesterday.
30:22You told me
30:23that the two
30:24of you
30:25have been
30:25having trouble
30:26communicating,
30:27so I encouraged
30:29him to express
30:30his feelings
30:31on paper.
30:34He wrote
30:35something to you
30:36already.
30:37Yeah?
30:39And trust me,
30:40I would not
30:42have looked at it
30:43if all of this
30:45hadn't happened,
30:46but under
30:47the circumstances,
30:49I think maybe
30:50you should read
30:52it now.
31:03I know I've
31:04been a pain
31:04today.
31:06I just really
31:07wanted to see
31:07the bears play
31:08and thought maybe
31:09it would make me
31:10feel better because
31:11I guess I'm nervous
31:12about getting a
31:13new little brother
31:13and I'm afraid
31:15you will love him
31:16more than me
31:16and I won't ever
31:18be able to get
31:18you back as
31:19my dad.
31:37he's never
31:38called me
31:39dad before.
31:48So we're
31:49seriously just
31:49going through
31:50with this?
31:50You need to
31:51stop already,
31:52Jonathan.
31:53We are doctors,
31:54we're not Supreme
31:54Court justices.
31:55No one credentialed
31:56you to sit in
31:57judgment of other
31:57people's characters.
31:58Don't give me
31:58that right now.
31:59Come on.
32:00You know as well
32:01as I do that
32:02these parents,
32:03the Wheelers,
32:04they're no good.
32:05The privilege,
32:06the sense of
32:07entitlement,
32:07the way that
32:08they trample
32:08over everything
32:09that gets in
32:10their way.
32:10I mean doing
32:10this for their
32:11son right now?
32:12They've never
32:13done anything
32:13for anyone in
32:14their...
32:14Watch your voice.
32:16Someone has
32:16to call him
32:17out.
32:18Well if you
32:19say anything
32:20you better
32:20buy yourself
32:21a shovel
32:21because you'll
32:22be working
32:22the graveyard
32:23shift from
32:23here on out.
32:26Oh glad
32:27we caught you.
32:28Whip and I
32:29were just speaking
32:29with a reproductive
32:30specialist at
32:31Northwestern.
32:32Wow.
32:34It's fast.
32:35You guys have
32:36him on like
32:36speed dial?
32:37No.
32:38A family friend
32:39recommended him.
32:40Of course.
32:41Anyway,
32:41he had very
32:42specific instructions
32:43he wanted us
32:44to follow to
32:45ensure that
32:45Julian's
32:46spermatozoa
32:47is as viable
32:47as possible
32:48so we can
32:49best honor
32:50our son.
32:51Honor your
32:52son?
32:53Yes.
32:55I think
32:56we should
32:57cut the charade.
32:59Excuse me?
33:00You're not
33:01doing this
33:01for your son
33:02you don't
33:03know what
33:03he wanted
33:04any more
33:04than I do
33:05and if you
33:05do
33:05you don't
33:06care
33:06otherwise
33:07you might
33:07have made
33:07an effort
33:08to be part
33:08of his life
33:09so let's
33:10just be honest
33:10about what
33:11he is to
33:12you in this
33:12moment
33:12a clinically
33:13dead body
33:14whose DNA
33:15you want.
33:17I don't want
33:18you or
33:19Dr. Frost
33:20here having
33:21anything more
33:21to do
33:22with this
33:22procedure.
33:24We will
33:25be speaking
33:25speaking to
33:26your
33:26supervisor
33:29Whip
33:35got into
33:35you
33:40okay
33:40cut
33:41vascular
33:42control
33:42clamp and
33:44cut the
33:44last part
33:44of the
33:44renal artery
33:45start the
33:46clock
33:46on this
33:46organ's
33:47viability
33:49I'm detecting
33:50fetal decels
33:51how much
33:52longer is
33:52this going
33:52to take
33:53the baby
33:53could be
33:53compressing
33:54your IBC
33:54in this
33:54position
33:55five maybe
33:56ten minutes
33:56no no no
33:57the baby
33:57won't survive
33:58that we
33:58need to get
33:58mom out of
33:59the lateral
33:59position
34:00and onto
34:00her back
34:00a little up
34:01on the left
34:02if you can
34:02that's not
34:03possible
34:03we already
34:04triangulated
34:04the trochars
34:05it'd take us
34:05another half hour
34:06to reset
34:07our field of
34:07dissection
34:07we don't
34:08have a half
34:08hour
34:09we've been
34:09putting the
34:09organ itself
34:10in jeopardy

34:11well have
34:11not even
34:11started this
34:12all right
34:13I'm doing
34:14the math
34:14I'm doing
34:15the math
34:15so what
34:16if we
34:16moved her
34:16to a 45
34:17degree angle
34:17would that
34:18relieve enough
34:18pressure on
34:19the vena cava
34:19we could try
34:20why is any
34:21of this even
34:22a consideration
34:22when the fetus
34:23isn't viable
34:23because it is
34:24marty it is
34:25all right
34:25so just let's
34:26rotate her down
34:27to 45 degrees
34:27right now
34:28come on let's
34:28go
34:29marty step
34:30on it please

34:58able to
34:59retrieve a
34:59sample
35:00what happens
35:01to it now
35:02well it'll be
35:03stored here
35:03in escrow
35:04so to speak
35:05until the court
35:06can make a
35:06decision
35:07and just
35:07so both of
35:09you are aware
35:09the odds
35:10are stacked
35:11dramatically
35:12against
35:12grandparents
35:13in cases
35:14like this
35:15there's a little
35:16chance they're
35:17going to win
35:17so it's a good
35:19thing the judge
35:19didn't witness
35:20your little
35:20outburst
