00:05You
00:06Couldn't help but notice you in Kingston. You should ask her out. She asked me out. That's great. Yeah. It's
00:12not like we're together
00:13Two friends having a baby. Remember?
00:18You went through something really traumatic. I mean, we both did. I can't stop thinking about it. I'm sorry to
00:24hear that. I've moved on.
00:25I don't buy it. You keep throwing yourself headfirst into these dangerous situations like you got a dip.
00:36Okay, ready? On three. One, two, three. Push.
00:40Son of a bitch! Can you give us a little help?
00:42I'm trying. It hurts.
00:44Okay, let's try again. Push.
00:46Need a hand? Yeah. Warehouse accident. Mr. Tremblay crushed against a metal shelf.
00:52My idiot co-worker slammed his forklift right into me. He fell asleep at the wheel.
00:56Gave him 50 offense and also he could roll in to get a better look at his wound.
00:59This looks deep. Have Dr. Howard book an OR for surgical exploration.
01:02There's no need. I already have a perfectly clear view of his injuries.
01:05The ED doesn't have a laparotomy tray. The OR does.
01:08I have everything under control.
01:10I'm sure you do, but it's the end of your shift. So call Dr. Howard now.
01:15May I speak with you outside?
01:17You may.
01:22He's pissed.
01:23What?
01:24She's gonna eat him alive.
01:37I need my, my tea for all of you.
01:40What? Oh.
01:40Yeah.
01:43Yeah.
01:43Here.
01:44Yeah.
01:45Okay.
01:48I thought we agreed to stop this.
01:50It changed my mind.
01:52You know, I'm not some puppy for you to play with.
01:56Agree to disagree.
01:58But you can say no at any point.
02:02Rough.
02:06Oh my gosh.
02:10Actually, I, I do know somewhere I need to be.
02:13Well, I don't have to be back for ten minutes.
02:17Ugh.
02:18Okay.
02:25Trini just pinned me, didn't she?
02:26Hey, I'm, I'm Switzerland.
02:28Yeah, well, sadly, I won't be buying the first round at Molly's ever again.
02:32Hmm.
02:32What's your strategy?
02:33Well, I'm gonna wait till the end of my shift and then stick some poor sucker at the very
02:38last minute.
02:38That is some real 4D chesting.
02:40Yeah, well, of course there's this.
02:44And boom.
02:47Hey, are you bringing Jennifer and Molly's tonight?
02:51Possibly.
02:52Don't be weird.
02:53I want you to bring her.
02:55Yeah, I think I have the right to be somewhat weird when discussing my girlfriend with the
02:59mother of my impending child.
03:00Girlfriend?
03:01Yeah.
03:02She must really be okay with this unique situation.
03:05She said as long as I'm not in love with you, she's, uh, all good.
03:09Well, good.
03:10Dr. Archer, incoming trauma, three minutes out.
03:13Young man with chest impelment.
03:20Dr. Mankiewicz?
03:21Yes.
03:22Yes.
03:23I told you not to call him, Howie.
03:25Well, you know, when the random commenter drops my name in an attempt to jump the line,
03:29I'm automatically summoned.
03:30Oh.
03:31No one knew who you were.
03:33It was quite sad.
03:34We were lucky to get in at all.
03:36That's impossible.
03:36You're deluded.
03:37What are you guys doing here?
03:38Is everybody okay?
03:39Dr. Mankiewicz is concerned her cataract surgery failed.
03:42It's been a month.
03:43At first I saw colors I forgot existed, but over the last few days my vision's been getting
03:47a little blurry again.
03:48Right.
03:49Hold still, please.
03:49Mm-hmm.
03:51I hope this doesn't mean putting off bokeh.
03:53I've got to set up the house.
03:55This would be a lot easier if you don't talk, Dr. Mankiewicz.
03:57Well, you don't know how many times I've said that to her.
03:59When are you guys going down there?
04:00When's the big day?
04:01Well, Susie flies down tomorrow, and I'm going to stick around here another six months.
04:06He's dragging out his retirement.
04:08I have students I've committed to, sweetie.
04:11And the transition period is normal and necessary.
04:14Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.
04:15I'm not seeing any acute issues, but I'd like ophthalmology to run a few tests just in case.
04:19Well, let's just get it over with.
04:21You don't know how many times I've said that to him.
04:24How do you all know each other?
04:25Howie was my roommate in medical school.
04:27Daniel was my boyfriend in medical school.
04:30Yeah.
04:31So how'd you end up with Howie?
04:33Very poor judgment.
04:35Oh, it's not too late, dear.
04:37Danny's single.
04:38Oh, ever been to Boca Raton?
04:40You be careful, young lady.
04:44Bono Trauma 1.
04:45Alex Tompkins, 27-year-old male.
04:47Fell off a bull and got bored in the chest.
04:49Mechanical bull.
04:50Nope, a live one.
04:51From Chicago?
04:52He's a professional rider.
04:53Lost my grip, and Eddie sent me sailor.
04:56Heart rate 134, BP 98 over 60.
04:59Decreased breath sounds on the left side.
05:00That's 96.
05:01Did you hit your head?
05:02Lose consciousness at all?
05:03No.
05:04No?
05:04Victor, grab that cover, will you?
05:06Any other injuries from the incident?
05:07I rode away before Eddie could stomp on my legs.
05:09Yeah?
05:10Who's Eddie?
05:10The ball.
05:12Of course.
05:12All right, on my count.
05:13Eddie, one, two, three.
05:15All right, 100 fentanyl, and then get him on four liters.
05:18Mr. Tompkins, I'm gonna check you out now, okay?
05:21Move your hand, please, sir.
05:23All right, big open new thorax.
05:26At least two open rib fractures.
05:31Let's get a CT on the way to the hybrid OR, okay?
05:34We need them cleaned and closed right away.
05:37Come on, let's go.
05:37Move it, move it, please.
05:52Okay, so you didn't land on your belly, right?
05:54No, no.
05:55On my side.
05:57I feel so stupid.
05:59I should have just made two trips.
06:01Is the baby going to be okay?
06:03Based on my initial exam, I'm not seeing any cause for concern, but we do want to do an ultrasound
06:08and be on the safe side, okay?
06:09Okay.
06:09Is there anyone we can recruit to help you with the groceries next time?
06:12Oh, my husband, Kyle, but he's away visiting his mom.
06:16I already heard an earful from him.
06:18Why didn't you just get them delivered?
06:22Dr. Kingston, when I called your office, they said you were going to be in meetings all day.
06:25Well, you just gave me a great excuse to bail.
06:29Do you know Dr. Asher?
06:31Yes, of course.
06:31She's one of Gaffney's finest.
06:33You are in terrific hands.
06:34How do you two know each other?
06:36Uh, I had ER-positive breast cancer six years ago.
06:39And Dr. Kingston was my surgical oncologist.
06:43If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be pregnant right now.
06:46Um, I don't know about that.
06:47Every oncologist I met with was against me freezing my eggs before starting treatment.
06:52They were afraid that the ovulation stimulation hormones would increase my cancer cells.
06:56That is a valid concern.
06:58But Dr. Kingston helped me advocate for myself every step of the way.
07:06Okay, so baby girl is moving around nicely.
07:10The placenta looks good.
07:12No sign of abruption.
07:15Fluid levels look good.
07:19What is it? What's wrong?
07:21Well, I'm just seeing some bright areas in the fluid surrounding the umbilical cord.
07:25Now, this could just be artifact from the machine, but I'd like to get a fetal MRI just to cover
07:29all our bases.
07:30Lyra is highly claustrophobic, so...
07:32I always need sedation, but I don't want to take anything while I'm pregnant.
07:36Okay, well, we can give you a very low dose of adavan.
07:39No, no, absolutely not.
07:40Maybe we can just do a detailed ultrasound, perhaps.
07:44We could.
07:45But an MRI would give us far better structural and soft tissue detail.
07:50Could we at least try the ultrasound first?
07:53And then, if it's not good enough, I'll do the MRI.
07:57Sure. That's fine.
08:00Oh, I'm glad I'm here.
08:04You are a very lucky man, Mr. Tompkins.
08:07Right?
08:08The, uh, track to the horn stopped just centimeters from your heart.
08:13Lucky my ass.
08:14You know how much crap the boys are gonna give me when they hear Eddie whoop my hide?
08:18Forgive me, but trying to stay on the back of a bucking bull.
08:22Just, uh, never saw the appeal myself.
08:27Your line of work doesn't seem so different.
08:29Imagine there's days where this child feels like you're riding a 2,000-pound beast just hanging on by the
08:35skin of your teeth.
08:36Touché.
08:36Anyway, as I was saying, uh, you're very lucky that Eddie the Bull missed your heart.
08:41We were able to repair the pulmonary laceration and, uh, it should heal up in about four to six weeks.
08:46Well, I'm gonna be held up for that long.
08:49I got the Albuquerque Invitational in March.
08:51I'm not done yet.
08:53Uh, your CT showed a narrowing of the cervical spine.
08:56Uh, my back's been messed up for years.
08:59Sciatica or whatnot, uh, Doc gives me a steroid shot and I'm good to go.
09:03Well, the findings aren't consistent with sciatica, so I'd like to order additional scans and a neuro consult.
09:08Is that really necessary, or are you just trying to pad my bill?
09:11Oh, I'm absolutely padding your bill.
09:12And if I order enough scans by the end of the month, I want a new hot tub.
09:16No, it's, uh, absolutely necessary, buckaroo.
09:19Buckaroo.
09:20Too many episodes of Bonanza.
09:23That's funny you say that, because back in the old days, I was a dead ringer for little Joe Cartwright.
09:32Tough crowd.
09:34Dr. Lennox, the girl in two with the infected eyebrow piercing.
09:38What about her?
09:39What did you ask me to do again?
09:40Drain and clean the wound and...
09:42Please don't pretend to be bad at your job to distract me from the pin in your hand.
09:49Hey, hey, mm-mm.
09:50Excuse me, Dr. Asher.
09:51I just, I wanted to apologize for what happened in there.
09:54I didn't mean to step on anyone's toes.
09:56My toes are just fine.
09:58Okay.
09:59Yep.
09:59Moving forward, I'll just keep my suggestions to myself.
10:01That is not necessary.
10:03Your input is valuable, especially given your prior relationship with Lara.
10:07That's very gracious of you.
10:13Two shots of more, it's Sully's favorite.
10:18To Sully.
10:19To Sully.
10:23Oh, old style chaser.
10:31Oh.
10:32Oh.
10:33Oh, wow.
10:34Oh.
10:35I can't believe he's been gone a year.
10:38It did go fast.
10:40Luckily, his 18-month-old clone keeps me smiling on the hard days.
10:44Come on.
10:45Lately, he's been doing this thing where he tries to stick his finger in power outlets,
10:50and when I warn him it'll hurt, he laughs and tries again.
10:55Well, that's his dad in a nutshell.
10:57Mm.
10:58My son is the sweetest little monster I know.
11:02How are you holding up?
11:05Uh, I'm doing pretty well, overall.
11:08Yeah?
11:09Yeah.
11:11But, we have a job to do today.
11:14Which is...
11:20Is that...
11:21Sully's ashes.
11:26Why'd you bring them?
11:27Because, today, we are going to spread them on the field of his favorite place on Earth.
11:38Okay.
11:39What?
11:41Serotonin syndrome?
11:42Ridiculous, right?
11:43I'm sorry.
11:44I'm not going to rebuild my entire medication protocol, because I've got, I don't know,
11:49low blood sugar or something.
11:50Anyway, my new shrink and I, we just tweaked a couple things, and I never felt better.
11:55Well, I'm glad to hear it.
11:56Listen, pal.
11:57I gotta say, you seem less than enthused about moving down to the sunshine state.
12:01And, I'm not talking about a transition period.
12:05Well, you picked that up with your keen shrink skills, did you?
12:08What can I say?
12:08I'm good.
12:09You seem so excited about Boca on my birthday.
12:13What happened?
12:14Starting spring semester.
12:15I looked out at those eager med students, and I realized everything I said from that
12:20moment forward, everything I taught them would be for the last time.
12:24You're not ready to retire?
12:25Nope.
12:26Susie was ready when we closed our practice 12 years ago.
12:29But joining Porter U's faculty opened up this whole new world to me.
12:33But, does Susie know how you feel?
12:35I mean, how you really feel?
12:36She knows, but she doesn't get it.
12:39I know you do.
12:40Of course I do, but I'm not your wife.
12:42Look, Howie, it's Susie.
12:45I mean, you can level with her.
12:47Can't you?
12:47I mean, does it really need to be a binary choice anyway?
12:51Says my thrice divorced friend.
12:53That's beneath you.
12:54It is a binary choice.
12:56I love my wife more than I love my career, so I choose her.
13:00I just need some time to get there.
13:03Dr. Charles, treatment three.
13:12Oh my God, Susie!
13:14Doris, two milligram Ativan IM.
13:16Serum oxygen.
13:17What happened?
13:18She just started seizing.
13:19Help me get her on her side.
13:20What the hell is wrong with her?
13:21I'm not sure, but it looks like a tonic-clonic.
13:22Here's okay.
13:23Susie, I'm right here.
13:25Ativan on board.
13:25Let's let them work, okay?
13:27They got this.
13:28Gonna be fine.
13:29Let's, uh, let them do their job.
13:36Put a rush on that MRI.
13:38I mean, Caitlin should be...
13:41See him.
13:43Dan, I know these are very old friends of yours,
13:45so I wanted to come down myself and explain to all of you
13:48what we found and what our options are.
13:51So, I'm guessing this isn't about cataracts?
13:54I'm afraid not.
13:55Your CT and MRI scans found a grade four
13:58deep arteriovenous malformation in your central brain.
14:01It's an AVM.
14:03It's essentially a knot of tangled blood vessels.
14:06This is what caused your recent vision loss
14:08as well as your seizure.
14:10Okay.
14:11So, how do we fix this?
14:13Well, we have two options.
14:15Okay.
14:16Hit me.
14:16The first is resecting it.
14:19Removing the knot?
14:20Yes.
14:21Why are we not more excited about that option?
14:23It's a very risky surgery with a high mortality rate.
14:27How high?
14:28Over 70%.
14:30No.
14:32Hard pass.
14:33But what's the other option?
14:34We leave the knot where it is and simply medicate your symptoms.
14:40Symptoms.
14:40AVM is stealing vital blood from other areas of your brain.
14:44And now that you've started showing symptoms,
14:47you will experience them more and more.
14:50Seizures.
14:52Many strokes.
14:53All leading to a dramatic physical and cognitive decline.
14:58Over how much time?
15:00Roughly two to five years.
15:02Okay.
15:03This is an overwhelming amount of information.
15:06There must be alternatives.
15:08What about endovascular intervention?
15:10Endovascular is only temporary with a high risk of bleeding.
15:13I can't recommend it.
15:14If you remove the knot now.
15:17Susie.
15:17No.
15:18Will I still experience the physical and cognitive decline?
15:22No.
15:23If you survive the surgery, you'd be able to go on with your life.
15:31Oh, so you're saying I have a brain grenade.
15:38I want it out before it explodes.
15:40We need to talk about this, Susie.
15:41I am not going to curl up in a ball and wait to die, Howie.
15:47Honey, if I can't experience my life to its fullest with you,
15:50there's no point to living at all.
15:53No, absolutely not.
15:54I mean, what are we even talking about here?
15:57Hallelujah.
15:58No!
16:00I'll give you two a minute.
16:04You understand, don't you?
16:06Of course I do.
16:08Of course I do.
16:10And I will talk to him.
16:12Okay?
16:12You can.
16:13I'm gonna talk to him.
16:17Mr. Tompkins, you've got progressive cervical myelopathy.
16:20Your spinal cord's being compressed, which can impair motor skills.
16:23That's probably why you lost your grip on Eddie today.
16:27Is there some kind of pain pill I can take?
16:28Uh, no, I'm afraid we're past that.
16:30You need spinal fusion surgery.
16:32Back surgery.
16:33I need back surgery, really.
16:35How long is that gonna put me out, huh?
16:37I mean, a couple months?
16:38No, full recovery usually takes about a year.
16:40A year?
16:41A year?
16:42I'm not gonna be back on a bull for a year.
16:43My advice is that you never get back on a bull again.
16:46The risk of re-injury after surgery is too great.
16:48Then I'm not doing the surgery.
16:49Mr. Tompkins.
16:50No, this is how I make a living.
16:51It's time to find a new profession.
16:53All right?
16:54You let this go.
16:55You keep writing.
16:56You could end up with permanent nerve damage.
16:58Paralysis, most likely.
17:00I'll take my chances.
17:05Very well.
17:08You are making a terrible decision.
17:11That is your opinion.
17:12Based on decades of watching people make terrible decisions.
17:15Well, it isn't up to you, is it?
17:22Well, here we are.
17:25Okay.
17:26So, the gate mechanism takes about eight seconds to soft close.
17:30So, you and I will sneak in before it does.
17:33That's your plan?
17:34Wait and get lucky?
17:35What, you got a better one?
17:36Well, hang on.
17:37There are security cameras everywhere.
17:38We could be begging to be arrested.
17:39Wow.
17:41I wish that 15-year-old Rip were here to see what a little bitch you've become.
17:56Sully sure did love his cubbies.
17:58Yeah.
17:59Not a popular thing for a South Side boy.
18:01Used to pick fights with all the White Sox fans.
18:04Yeah.
18:04And get his ass handed to him.
18:07That was Sully.
18:08Sticking his finger in the power outlet.
18:13Go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
18:19Lucky that car alarm went off.
18:21Nah, that was Sully.
18:22Doing us a solid from above.
18:23Come on.
18:24What?
18:30Hey, why were you so late today?
18:32It's not like you.
18:34Traffic.
18:35That feels like a lie.
18:36You were in way too good of a mood for that.
18:38What's your point?
18:40Were you late because of a girl?
18:43Maybe.
18:44And you had just had sex with said girl.
18:46How?
18:47How, how, how do you do that?
18:48I mean, we knew each other at 12.
18:49You can't hide anything from someone who knew you at 12.
18:52And I 100% approve.
18:54So?
18:55Who is she?
18:57Caitlin Lennox.
18:59Oh.
19:00I remember her.
19:01Stone Cold RBF.
19:02Oh.
19:03She's...
19:04She's not so bad.
19:05Yeah, said every guy right after sex.
19:09Oh my God.
19:10We really like her.
19:12No.
19:13No, no, no.
19:13We're, we're just...
19:15We're a little drunk on each other at the moment.
19:17That's how all the best things start.
19:18Yeah, and end.
19:19What's wrong?
19:20You're afraid of getting dumped on the Riverwalk for a third time this year?
19:24Wow.
19:26Low blow?
19:27Oh, Sully must be speaking through me today.
19:31Lennox and I are like oil and water.
19:33It's, it's a bad idea.
19:35Look, Sully was the best bad idea I ever had.
19:38And I wouldn't trade a moment of it.
19:41Do you care about her?
19:44Okay, well then you have to tell her.
19:46This kind of chemistry is rare.
19:50Oh, hey!
19:51Go, go, go, go, go!
19:53Really?
19:53Go, go, go, go, go!
19:58This way.
19:59Okay, okay.
20:00What?
20:01Ah.
20:04Wow.
20:06Hey!
20:07Go, go, go, go, go, go!
20:08Hey, hey, hey, hey!
20:10Stop!
20:10I knew you were waiting for me.
20:12I knew you were waiting for me.
20:13Good.
20:14Yeah, good, good, good.
20:15Go, you, go, go, go!
20:17Ah!
20:20Come here, now.
20:27We're going to need to see your IDs.
20:29Yeah, sure.
20:31Okay.
20:32So this is the umbilical cord.
20:35You see where it narrows down here?
20:37Is that bad?
20:38It means that something's wrapped around it.
20:40Sometimes bands from the amniotic sac
20:42can become separated and wrap around things that they shouldn't.
20:45Is this because of my fall?
20:46No. No, typically this develops within the first trimester.
20:50It's actually lucky that your fall brought you in,
20:52otherwise you wouldn't have detected this until your next ultrasound.
20:54So is this hurting my baby?
20:56When bands constrict the umbilical cord,
20:58it can cut off nutrients and oxygen to the baby.
21:01Now, luckily, I'm not seeing any signs of that happening yet,
21:04but this does require immediate surgical intervention.
21:08Now, I've already spoken to Dr. Berman,
21:09an excellent fetal surgeon here at med,
21:12and he has some availability this afternoon.
21:14Oh, well, Kyle's not here yet.
21:18Lyra, this isn't something that we want to wait on.
21:22Okay.
21:23Of course, yeah.
21:25Lyra.
21:26Lyra, it's gonna be okay.
21:27Can you be in the surgery?
21:29Oh, I'm not a fetal surgeon.
21:31Please.
21:32Just in case something goes wrong.
21:35I would feel so much better if I knew that you were there.
21:42Generally, we limit the number of bodies in an operating room
21:44for sterility purposes,
21:45but Dr. Kingston can absolutely watch from the observation booth.
21:50Would you?
21:51I would be happy to.
21:55Okay.
21:58There you are.
22:00Been looking all over for you.
22:03I needed some time to think.
22:08I get it.
22:13Please help me talk Susie out of this surgery, Danny.
22:17Howie, I can't do that.
22:18Why the hell not?
22:20Isn't it really her decision?
22:22Are you kidding?
22:23I am her husband.
22:25This procedure is more likely to kill her than cure her.
22:28You know that.
22:28Yeah, so does she.
22:30You don't get it.
22:31What?
22:33What did I get?
22:34Marriage.
22:35Till death do us part.
22:37When times got tough, you always bailed.
22:39All three of your wives.
22:41It's a good thing Susie had the good sense to cut bait
22:43before you started with her.
22:49You think I'm crazy for risking the surgery, don't you?
22:54You want to live without compromise?
22:57You might be the sanest person I know.
23:01My husband's furious with me.
23:05Well, you strike me as someone who does what she wants in life
23:09without apology, Dr. Mankiewicz.
23:11Anyone who loves you has always known that.
23:15That's probably why they loved you in the first place.
23:25She's being selfish.
23:27All due respect, I think you might have that backwards.
23:31You're the one asking her to choose a rapid cognitive decline.
23:37Howie, I watched Susie waste away from cancer.
23:42Up close.
23:44Trust me.
23:46You do not want that for your beloved wife.
23:55How did we get here?
23:58This morning I was whining about retiring to Boca.
24:01Now I'd go in a heartbeat if it meant a few more years together.
24:05Yeah, well, Susie wants that too.
24:09So bad she's willing to take this risk to get it.
24:16I guess I need to tell my wife she was right again.
24:27How did you end up with Howie?
24:29Oh, well, Howie fell for me immediately.
24:31But he was never going to make a move on his best friend's girlfriend.
24:35So I was forced to take action and dump Danny.
24:41Drama.
24:44Tell me more details.
24:45Like.
24:46Oh, well, I was crazy about Danny.
24:49But he's always had a complicated relationship with intimacy.
24:53He loved me, but kept me at arm's length.
24:59But Howie.
25:02He held the door wide open with a boundless capacity to love.
25:09You know, basking in that glow can be pretty addictive.
25:16I think we all know when an attraction feels inevitable.
25:25I can see you know what I mean.
25:29No, I was wondering how the three of you stayed close.
25:35Oh, well, we were psych students, Dr. Lennox.
25:38Analyzing drama was our jam.
25:40I mean, look what came of it.
25:41A lifelong friendship.
25:51I would rather live than wait to die.
25:56I feel the same.
25:58I'm betting my life on that.
26:02What if you lose?
26:07Better to break Howie's heart.
26:10Fast.
26:12I don't want him watching me slowly disappear.
26:17I love him too much.
26:22No!
26:23Mr. Tompkins, please.
26:24I need you to get back in bed.
26:26He pulled his chest tube out.
26:27What the hell are you thinking?
26:29I told her.
26:30I was ready to go and she said I needed to talk to some shrink.
26:32That's right.
26:33I ordered a psych consult.
26:34Yeah.
26:35To force surgery on you.
26:36To cover our ass.
26:37So that when you're paralyzed in a year, we can prove that you were counseled on the risks of refusing.
26:42Well, I'm good.
26:43Where are you going, Mr. Tompkins?
26:44You cannot do this.
26:45We are asking you not to do this.
26:47Oh!
26:52He's tachycardic?
26:53I have some breath sounds on the left.
26:55He's got tension pneumothorax.
26:57We need a stretcher?
26:58No!
26:58There's no time to get him back in the bed.
27:00Get me a 14-gauge angiocab.
27:01You're gonna needle decompress him here?
27:15I think Sully would be proud.
27:17He'd be more proud if we spent the night in a community cell.
27:24Hey.
27:25No, no, no.
27:26I'm okay.
27:26I'm okay.
27:26I just, um...
27:30I just miss him.
27:32Yeah.
27:33Yeah, me too.
27:36You know what kills me?
27:40Is Nate isn't gonna have any memory of his dad.
27:47You know, and sometimes I wish I could just download all of my memories into his little 18-month-old
27:53brain.
27:55So he could see all the things that old videos and pictures can't tell you.
28:00You know, like, how his cologne smelled.
28:04Or how...
28:07How his hands felt when he'd rub your back until you fell asleep.
28:13How safe you felt when he hugged you.
28:21Sully's with him.
28:23Always will be.
28:26I hope that's true.
28:27I know it is.
28:29I mean, it was with me when I needed him most.
28:33What do you mean?
28:42I saw him.
28:45I saw him when I was trapped in the well.
28:53I don't know if it was a dream or a hallucination due to a lack of oxygen, but Sully was
29:00there with me.
29:03And, uh...
29:04I wanted to give up, but...
29:06Sully just kept pushing my buttons until I screamed bloody murder at him, and, uh...
29:13And that's the only reason Mouch found me in all that rubble.
29:17It sounds like Sully played you like a little fan.
29:21And he saved my life.
29:23I truly believe that.
29:28And if he bothered to waste his time on me...
29:31Come on.
29:33He will always, always be there for you and me.
29:47He also called me a little bitch.
29:50That's because you are one.
29:53Oh.
29:59Thanks.
30:01Are you arresting us?
30:03Was the deceased a Cubs fan?
30:06Well...
30:07Yeah, they were his only religion.
30:09Have a nice day.
30:11Go Cubs.
30:12Go Cubs.
30:13Go Cubs.
30:22We were playing pool when we told Danny we were engaged, because Danny always had to have a big reaction
30:27to everything.
30:28He jumped up into the air with excitement, and...
30:31That's right, and because I'm so athletic, I actually hit the ceiling fan.
30:35The spinning ceiling fan.
30:37Yes.
30:37And for a moment, Danny was just...
30:40Stunned.
30:40Well, because I was like, why is my face all of a sudden so warm?
30:44Because there is blood pouring down his face.
30:47And he wouldn't even let us take him to the ED.
30:49What are you gonna make it about me?
30:49You just been engaged.
30:50There were cocktails to drink.
30:53He walked around for the rest of the evening with a sweater tied around his head.
30:57You know he still does this to this day.
31:00That's...
31:01Yeah.
31:02Oh, man.
31:07Susie.
31:09I know you've already made up your mind, but I need you to know that any version of you is
31:15enough for me.
31:16I know.
31:18But if I can't remember this, what's the point?
31:24I love you, Susie.
31:26I love you, Howard.
31:33Dr. Mankiewicz?
31:35Yes?
31:37The OR has been prepped.
31:38We're ready when you are.
31:41Okay.
31:43Let's do this.
31:45Libby will take you to the waiting room, Dr. Mankiewicz.
31:47I'll see you soon.
31:48I'll see you soon.
31:49Okay.
32:01Danny.
32:03Danny, come here.
32:07If for some reason this doesn't work out, take care of Howie for me.
32:14No.
32:16No can do.
32:17That's your job, Susie.
32:25Okay.
32:27Okay.
32:27Okay.
32:46How long was I out?
32:50About an hour.
32:54A little stunt you pulled across your second pneumothorax of the day and put all my handiwork from this morning
33:00at risk of infection.
33:07What?
33:10You're a selfish idiot.
33:11You know that?
33:12You're out of line, man.
33:13I worked at the VA a long time.
33:15Treated a lot of paraplegics.
33:17They didn't have any choice in the matter.
33:19I don't have a choice either.
33:20Give me a break.
33:21Hey, I tried getting a real job, okay?
33:25Sitting in a cubicle, I can't crack that life.
33:29Bull riding is the only thing that I've ever been good at.
33:34It's the only thing that's ever made any sense to me and you want me to want.
33:38Just give it up?
33:44Apologies.
33:47I take it back you're not selfish.
33:50Selfish people hurt others.
33:54You're just hurting yourself.
34:01How am I doing?
34:02I'm doing good.
34:03The port side is far enough away from the baby.
34:06Pheadoscope, please.
34:13And there's the band.
34:20Bands released.
34:21Okay, I'm not seeing any additional bands.
34:23Me neither.
34:25Let's proceed with suturing.
34:31Needle driver and 3-O-Vicryl.
34:34We've got a bleeder.
34:36Heart rate's going up.
34:38Lyra's on blood thinner.
34:39She has a history of blood clots.
34:41I recommend a reverse agent.
34:42IV protamine.
34:43I don't think that's necessary.
34:45She's only on a prophylactic dose of an oxypid.
34:47Dr. Asher's correct.
34:48It's too risky to reverse it.
34:50So what's the alternative?
34:51You let her bleed out?
34:52Of course not.
34:54Let's proceed with suturing and see if the uterus starts to contract around the incision on its own.
34:59Her blood pressure's dropping.
35:01If you don't stop Lyra's bleeding, she could go into labor.
35:04We have this under control, Dr. Kingston.
35:05I don't think that you do.
35:07Okay, I've had it.
35:08I got it.
35:08Dr. Kingston, I am sorry, but you need to leave.
35:11We are trying to focus and you've become a distraction.
35:24I know why you still call her Souser.
35:28Oh, yeah?
35:29Why that?
35:30I stole your girlfriend, so you still use your pet name for her to taunt me.
35:37And it gives me so much pleasure every time.
35:45You know who I was just thinking about?
35:48That prick who taught year three behavioral science.
35:53Dr. Hausman?
35:54What a prick.
35:55Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho.
35:56Tough son of a bitch.
35:57Son of a bitch, huh?
35:59And those ugly sweaters he wore.
36:01I wanted his approval so badly.
36:06You said that's why I'd never get it.
36:17What's going on?
36:21Danny, what's going on?
36:23Well, um, what Dr. Lennox was just communicating to me is that Susie did not make it.
36:35What are you talking about?
36:37What I'm talking about is that she did not survive the surgery, Howie.
36:45Oh, no.
36:45Oh, no.
36:46No.
36:47No.
36:47No.
36:47You're wrong.
36:49Let me see her.
36:50I need to see her.
36:51I am so sorry.
36:52No, this, this, this should not be happening.
36:54Of course it shouldn't be.
36:55No, I should not have listened to you.
36:56Buddy.
36:57No, Susie should be here right now.
37:00But I, I let both, both of you talk.
37:02Talk me into this and I am.
37:04No, no.
37:05No, Jesus.
37:06Oh, God.
37:08Oh, my God.
37:10Oh, God.
37:13Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
37:18Oh, God.
37:24Oh, God.
37:29Lyra's on her way to recovery.
37:31The bleeding stopped immediately after we finished suturing.
37:33The baby is doing great and her husband's on his way from O'Hare as we speak.
37:37That's a relief.
37:38Thank you for telling me.
37:40Sure.
37:41Please come in.
37:43Listen, um, I am sorry for what happened in the O.R.
37:48I know there is nothing more dangerous than a backseat driver.
37:51You care about Lyra. I get that.
37:53It's no excuse.
37:56Then you're human like the rest of us.
37:58Okay, well, if I can, um, be really human.
38:06This is awkward, right?
38:09It's not, not awkward.
38:13I know how important you are to Dean.
38:19And he's become really important to me, too.
38:22That's great.
38:25Yeah, I'm really happy for Dean for both of you.
38:35Look, Lyra's waking up.
38:38Why don't we both go tell her the good news together?
38:43Yeah.
38:46All right, ladies.
38:49Here we go, y'all.
38:51Jägermeister, baby.
38:53Oh, Casey, no, this is foul.
38:56What?
38:56Don't yuck my young.
38:58I'm going to get us a round of tequila.
38:59Boring.
39:00Wait, why am I paying for this?
39:02Hey, who's got the pin?
39:04Yes, yes, yes, yes.
39:05But have you, have you seen inside of his pantry?
39:09It's like, oh my God, it's like he's feeding a family of five.
39:12Or, um, or supplying for the apocalypse?
39:14No, I'm not going to be embarrassed about my love of Costco.
39:17Great deals, great deals.
39:19Enough free samples for a meal.
39:22What's not to love?
39:23I made the mistake of going once, and it was torture.
39:26Torture.
39:27We were there for over three hours.
39:29This one makes you go through every aisle, top to bottom, not once, but twice.
39:33Right, because you missed stuff on the first go around.
39:36Okay, on that note, I'm using the ladies' room.
39:39I'll be back.
39:41Hey.
39:43Hey.
39:44It's kind of a prick move, taking payday off and then showing up for free drinks.
39:49Who's buying?
39:50Um, yours truly.
39:57Next round's on me.
40:00What are you doing?
40:04Showing you I'm not a prick.
40:08Well, um, after this round, do you want to get out of here?
40:15Uh, I do.
40:18But, uh, can we talk first?
40:23Oh, no.
40:25What's up?
40:28We keep flirting with this idea of stopping.
40:33What if we didn't?
40:38What does that mean, exactly?
40:42Seeing where this leads?
40:45Yeah.
40:47Can it lead to us getting out of here now?
40:54Ruff.
40:56Ruff.
40:59Shh.
41:02Oh.
