00:12Nursing isn't just a job.
00:14It's science and soul stitched together inside one very tired human being.
00:20I should know.
00:21My mom gave her whole life to it.
00:24And somehow, I followed her here.
00:28It's kind of a Filipino thing.
00:31We look back far enough, across oceans, across decades, and you'll find us at the bedside,
00:39in the chaos, holding the line when everything else gives out.
00:45Because Filipinos, we don't just care.
00:49We carry.
00:51We carry our patients, their families, their stories.
01:02We carry the ones we couldn't save.
01:05Like, if we hold on tight enough, it might count.
01:10So yeah, out of all the places I could have ended up, I said yes to being in charge of
01:18a
01:18ward people don't even like to say out loud.
01:22Ward 5, where the patients don't always check out, and most people with good instincts transfer out.
01:32Which probably says something about the ones who stay.
01:37And some of the patients never really leave.
01:42Yeah, I definitely didn't think that one through.
01:46That's the 99 cent store!
01:48I didn't miss my audition!
01:50Good morning!
01:51Hey!
01:52Hey!
01:53Hey!
01:54Hey!
01:54Have a great day!
02:05You guessed it.
02:07I see 10 people.
02:11It's something tragic.
02:13I'm the only one I know who's had the third eye since...
02:19Oops!
02:20Let's shove that back in the do not open file.
02:23Good vibes only.
02:24Char!
02:27Say good morning to the City of Angels.
02:30And say hello to the newest and most motivated nursing supervisor in L.A.
02:35Hey!
02:35It's true, isn't it?
02:37These wards haunted?
02:38That's why nobody wants to work here?
02:40Ghost?
02:43What goes?
02:46Oh, don't judge.
02:47The proper medical terms?
02:48Therapeutic denial.
02:50No!
02:52Did you hear that?
02:53No!
02:55Yes, you did.
02:57Oh, that's why.
03:00What why?
03:02Surgically.
03:03She's mad Grace is fake news.
03:07Oh no.
03:08He's out.
03:09That's your medical opinion.
03:10She?
03:12Uh...
03:14Yes.
03:16Almost let my secret slip.
03:18Go stick around for all kinds of reasons.
03:20Unfinished business.
03:21Guilt, love, hate.
03:23The stronger the emotion, the more they can mess with you.
03:26Dumb show!
03:29Where'd that come from?
03:32Huh?
03:36I quit!
03:38As if real hospitals aren't crawling with exotics.
03:45Kendall, be nice to the newbies!
03:48No!
03:49Oh yeah!
03:51Called it.
03:54Well that's one way to clock out.
03:57There's another quitter!
04:20Staffing's at 50%.
04:21I need it at a hundred in four weeks.
04:24And while you're at it,
04:25get the nurses to stop blaming the turnover on dead people.
04:28We can't bill for ghosts.
04:34You're probably wondering why this beautiful, happy, sane girl in front of you,
04:38who happens to see ghosts, wants to work on a haunted floor.
04:40Good morning!
04:43With such charming staff.
04:52Well, my beautiful, sometimes happy, not-so-sane mother works here too.
04:57And for Pinoy kids, becoming a nurse is like the American wet dream.
05:01And now that I'm a strip, I'm statically orgasmic.
05:15You sure you're ready for this here?
05:18Taking care of people is a proud family tradition.
05:24Excuse me.
05:37The hard part? Pretending we're not related.
05:40Can't be having Nepo vibes messing with my boss energy.
05:47Filipino time?
05:48Is it Filipino time now? Or is it diva time now?
05:51Some parents gamble, drink, do shabu-shabu, but my mom's vice?
05:55Work.
05:56Who are you talking about?
05:58Oh, that's the ADHD that they posted?
06:02No one! And I'm 15 minutes early.
06:05I'm only one hour early because there's no perfect attendance in Filipino time.
06:10Remember, if anyone asks, you don't know me.
06:13Oh, who's your kid?
06:16Mom, Reyes is like Gonzalez if you're Mexican or Smith if you're white.
06:19Whatever.
06:21So, how was the first week?
06:24Well, I met everyone. They're great.
06:27But is everyone always so?
06:29Icon Diva.
06:33Legend and star.
06:35Icon Diva. Legend and star.
06:42It's so great to meet you.
06:44What was your name again?
06:46You don't know me?
06:50Well, then you don't deserve my welcome gift from my sponsor.
06:57Where's my scrubs?
06:59You don't even follow me on TikTok.
07:02Ah, si Camille, yung dating child star sa Pilipinas.
07:06Oh, that's why she kept asking me for spring water.
07:09Pero nakilala mo ba si...
07:12Uh, are you buffering or just building suspense?
07:15The Honk!
07:18The Honk!
07:18The Honk!
07:22The Honk!
07:25Hindi ka na naman nakatulog ano?
07:28Why do your eyebugs look like scrotum?
07:30I'm happy!
07:32Leadership book says, focus on what you can change.
07:35And this board's got a rep.
07:37Bad morale. High turnover.
07:38What bad morale.
07:47Americans are so spoiled.
07:49Sa Pilipinas nga noon, umupo ka lang, terminated ka na.
07:53Dati na guava brunch lang ang ginagamit namin pang tuli.
07:56Sa basketball court pa yun.
07:57Sa ilalim ng tirik na araw, with an attack!
08:00Yeah, sure mom, a machete.
08:02But let's not forget the elephant in the room.
08:05Your anxiety pills totally look like this vitamin that I took in Ibiza.
08:13Except that one came with a DJ named Ramon and a restraining order.
08:18Jane gave me one month to turn this place around, and I will.
08:21I just gotta figure out how to get everyone to work like, you know, normal people.
08:26Intindihin mo na lang sila, ana.
08:29COVID, then monkeypox, alpha, delta, omicron.
08:33Parang mga ex-boyfriend mo.
08:34Iba-iba pangalan, pero pare-pareham daot.
08:36Lalo na yung puti na may herpes.
08:39Ah, for the last time!
08:41It was a pimple!
08:43My point is, we need proper staffing, and the vibes can't be dead around here.
08:49No offense.
08:52May mga tao talagang ayaw gumitaw kahit overdue na.
09:00You're right.
09:02They need a day to let go and let loose.
09:05In my sorority, whenever we were down, we'd throw a party.
09:09Ah, parang super-spreader event!
09:13I'm gonna lift everyone's spirits!
09:16You're a genius, mom!
09:24And almost finally, Mr. Binks in 501 claims ghosts are, quote, making his bedpans fly.
09:32Super excited to make my special announcement!
09:34It's so dumb. Ghosts don't need bedpans.
09:37Well, speaking of legends and liquids, I once did a commercial with the Fernandable Jr.
09:44That was the Gerber baby commercial!
09:46Slay, you were a Gerber baby?
09:48No. She was the belly.
09:55It's like diarrhea. You just wanna squeeze it out.
09:58But, leadership book says, listen first.
10:01If there's nobody else, I have a super-exciting announcement, and you're all gonna love it.
10:07Ooh! I love announcements.
10:09Last time we got excited, Channing Tatum pressed the wrong elevator button.
10:12I wouldn't be caught dead being a patient here.
10:19I can't hold it in any longer.
10:21Surprise!
10:23Get ready to fiesta!
10:26Cinco de Mayo on Filipino time?
10:29Sorry. Booked. My 311,327 followers fight over who gets to invite me.
10:38Cool, cool.
10:39But I know the rest of you are holding it in.
10:43I think you're great.
10:45Look at that, Cin. He's Mexican. And he's not even excited!
10:48Here's the potluck sign-up sheet.
10:50Not everyone sign up at once.
10:54Yes. Can we, like, go back to work now?
10:57Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll just leave it in the break room.
11:11A true leader shakes so well. Even though the rhythm's dead.
11:26I ain't paying you to play piñata party planner on my dime.
11:30I'm on break.
11:45Why are you making that face?
11:48This celebration is the morale boost that we need to fix retention.
11:54Infection control plan first, parties later.
11:58All set. Updated SOPs, fall prevention, patient monitoring, and team communication SOP to quell rumors about unseen guests. As requested.
12:10Doesn't make sense that they're only on the fifth floor.
12:13They stick around for all kinds of unfinished things.
12:18At least that's what I hear.
12:20Okay. Ghost whisperer. And the SOPs look great. Then again, I've known you long enough to never doubt you.
12:28Thanks, Fox.
12:29You're on a break, remember?
12:31Right. Thanks, friend.
12:36Do you ever think haters are gonna think that I'm getting preferential treatment?
12:40Oh, please. First black D.O. in here. Haters come with the badge, baby.
12:50Ugh. Tastes like death.
12:55How you holding up?
12:58I love my job.
13:00Sweetheart.
13:00I am not talking about the job.
13:03Third year anniversary coming up-
13:06Oh, boss!
13:06Time's up. Back on the clock.
13:09Let's shove that back in the do not open file.
13:15You really want to throw this party?
13:19Five percent of nurses in the U.S. are Filipino.
13:23Thirty percent of the nurses we lost during the pandemic, Pinay.
13:26Now we've got a whole floor full of them.
13:27And if I've learned one thing, you celebrate while you still can.
13:33Well.
13:35You have to convince your Pinay's to bring the lumpia because I can't foot that bill.
13:41Then I better get back to work. See you guys.
13:51Oh. Still nasty. Ugh.
13:57Is there still no sign-up?
14:01Just tell them you're my daughter and boom! Instant potluck.
14:06The nurses will be able to send the lumpia to the nurses.
14:09I have to do this one on my own, Mom.
14:12The good book says,
14:14People don't care how much you know until they feel how much you care.
14:18Go ahead. Care harder.
14:20Even the multo will sign up.
14:34Camille!
14:36I saw your video.
14:38Total star quality.
14:40And you even got to share the stage with, um, Rustome Padilla.
14:45Bet you he's even hunkier now.
14:49You know what?
14:51I don't just sing.
14:53I transcend.
14:56Wow.
14:58That's so celestial of you.
15:02Bring that to the party.
15:05So you are bringing a karaoke machine.
15:22Good morning.
15:26Poor girl.
15:27She doesn't have a magic thing.
15:29Old dick.
15:33This way you'll know which pill is which.
15:35Have you ever wondered how they make some pills so round like this?
15:39So, have you thought about what you're bringing to the Cinco de Mayo party?
15:44I-I can't.
15:46We always did Cinco de Mayo right in Appleton.
15:48Blindfold stick, hitting things.
15:50If I don't do that, my body doesn't know that it's a holiday.
15:55Your body.
15:59Oh!
16:00A pinata!
16:01No!
16:02A pinata on a donkey!
16:17There is absolutely nowhere to hide this thing.
16:20Try mo sa basarahan.
16:21You can't go...
16:35You can't look at her.
16:37That's just a dream.
16:37It's a dream.
16:39I've been to a dream.
16:39You're presuming that I was to die for a while.
16:39You've got to take theçeves.
16:40You have to make a dream.
16:40Is that not the dream but the dream of mine?
16:41You're going to go away?
17:01Oh, holy crap, are you okay?
17:02No, look, no, look.
17:03I don't want you to see all the decorations.
17:07And why haven't you signed up yet?
17:09Need to check my ship schedule?
17:11Schedules in my brain.
17:12Rent free.
17:14Here, let me.
17:20Thanks.
17:22You're working during lunch.
17:23So are your abs.
17:25Did I just say that out loud?
17:27Two hundred and fifty dollars?
17:29Does this come with a mariachi band?
17:31The clearance rack seduced me.
17:34You're really going all out for this?
17:37It's for the team.
17:38I just need help finding more secret stash songs.
17:42I know the perfect place, but you have to trust me.
17:53So, how's this for our little secret?
17:59Crap.
18:03I'm just gonna go get changed.
18:10I wasn't gonna smoke.
18:12I wasn't gonna-
18:13Girl.
18:15Please.
18:16With those cakes?
18:18She's facing the rainbow.
18:20Can't face the rainbow.
18:24Why am I suddenly crying Skittles?
18:30Two more days!
18:32Cinco de Mayo on the 7th.
18:33I will see you there.
18:36Hey!
18:37Cinco de Mayo on the 7th.
18:38Have you signed up yet?
18:40Aloha!
18:42Cinco de Mayo on the 7th.
18:43Okay.
18:43Well, I have more flyers.
18:45Over there!
18:47Even if you don't have any money.
18:49You haven't seen the multis.
18:52Oh, yeah?
18:53Mm-mm.
18:54Then I'll have to be unignorable.
19:04That's him.
19:05That's him.
19:06That's him.
19:06I bet you he was hired from the parking lot of home people.
19:14You're on.
19:15You're on.
19:19You're on.
19:36You're on.
19:39So, even though Ward 5 is operating at a deficit as far as staffing goes, if you look at-
19:51Excuse me, gentlemen.
19:59Uh, as soon as we're all ready tomorrow, um, let's see who's bringing what.
20:04I've got, uh, George for a box of Twins.
20:09Uh.
20:12What's up?
20:13What's up?
20:13What's up?
20:14My office.
20:15Now.
20:22Sit.
20:23Down.
20:30Look, I asked Dondon to hire the mariachi band, and I-
20:34I thought it was gonna be something so great for everybody.
20:36Noah.
20:37And honestly, this is all I've been waiting for is for everyone.
20:40Noah!
20:41Jane, you don't get it.
20:43You are on the clock!
20:49Sorry, ma'am.
20:55As your friend, I should've told you no.
21:00As your boss, I have to.
21:03The board's already circling.
21:06What happened to haters come with the batch?
21:10They need this.
21:11Not them, Noah.
21:13You.
21:14But what you really need is a day off.
21:19I've already spent eight months just waiting for this-
21:22To bereave!
21:25One month.
21:27The ward is gone.
21:29And all those nurses you're so desperately trying to cheer up,
21:33they're gone too.
21:49I shouldn't have asked you to do this.
21:55You're not ready.
22:01Uh, sorry to interrupt.
22:03We've got a code.
22:04Wow!
22:50I'm sorry, Noah.
22:54Yeah.
22:55Sorry.
23:08No, you're not.
23:14None of you care.
23:21You don't care.
23:24Maybe if you did, people would want to work here.
23:30With you.
23:32Noah.
23:37Why don't you take the rest of the day off?
23:40I'm fine.
23:42That wasn't a request.
23:45You're off the clock.
24:13Did you want to talk?
24:15I said I don't want to talk about it.
24:17That's what happens if you don't listen to me.
24:20What are you going to do?
24:21Ground me?
24:22Like a spoiled brat.
24:23Oh, you work too much to spoil anyone.
24:26Sorry ha, single mother eh.
24:28I'm only your personal chef, personal Uber driver, psychiatrist, emotional support anim-
24:39Are you ready?
24:40No!
24:43Okay.
24:43Sabihan mo na lang ako pag ready ka na for some motherly advice.
24:48Sabagay, over 30 years ko lang naman ito binagawa.
24:52What do I know?
25:04You know, I have to keep this job.
25:15Okay.
25:20Hayaan mo muna.
25:21Kahit isang araw lang.
25:24Baka dun mo makita kung anong kulang.
25:31Uy, mukhang nanalo ang storage area sa round na to ah.
25:36Kailangan mo nang ice?
25:38Or would you like your dignity back?
25:43Yeah.
25:52I can't even get the ghost to stop scaring the newbies.
25:55Please.
26:05You're not gonna fire me, right?
26:08Again, that's for another day, anak.
26:14Pagdasal na lang natin na may trabaho ka pa bukas.
26:26Ya!
26:282
26:293
26:291
26:291
26:432
26:523
26:533
26:544
26:553
26:555
27:22Good morning, friend.
27:24Sorry, boss. I already clopped in.
27:27You're fine. I'm supposed to be off today.
27:30Are you firing me?
27:32No, not yet.
27:35But a month's probation stands.
27:38Even friends have to follow the rules, most of the time.
27:44Where is everybody?
27:47Come on.
27:51The board might show up later.
27:54Child, they watch everything.
28:07They watch everything.
28:11They watch everything.
28:17They watch everything.
28:24I, um...
28:25No one wanted Cinco de Mayo because we already had something special planned for your mom's death anniversary.
28:33And to welcome you.
28:38Your mom hated taking pictures, so that's the best we could do.
28:46Your mom and I used to do TikTok dances together.
28:52And we were a perfect duo.
28:55Sorry we lied through omission.
28:57We also figured that's why you wanted to do something today.
29:03I'm sorry.
29:04I'm sorry.
29:05Huh?
29:07Just...
29:13Hi, son.
29:18They know everything, Mom.
29:21They know everything.
29:23Eh, why not?
29:24No!
29:25Stop!
29:26Come on, Mom!
29:27Just come on!
29:28We push as much empathy as we can!
29:32You're not doing it right!
29:33Move!
29:33It's harder!
29:34Come on!
29:371046.
29:38Calling it.
29:39There's nothing we can do.
29:47I'm sorry, anak.
29:48Pero kailangan ko pa bang mag-unwaray na hindi ako namatay?
29:55Therapeutic na na, ha?
29:57Therapeutic na na, ha?
30:00Therapeutic na na, ha?
30:05Therapeutic na, ha?
30:13Therapeutic na, ha?
30:19Please don't leave me, Mommy.
30:23I don't want to have anybody else.
30:28Kailangan din kitang iwan palang araw.
30:32Pero...
30:32Hindi pa ngayon.
30:35Kailangan pa ako.
31:00Magyo воз na.
31:00Yur ma- ago's mom was ain't joking.
31:02Sorry?
31:03She used to joke that you can see ghosts,
31:05Can you really see ghosts?
31:10Is she...
31:11is she here right now?
31:17Awww,
31:18she said,
31:19But if I keep being an asshole,
31:20I'm just going to tickle my feet when I'm asleep.
31:23As soon as the Grim Reaper is afraid
31:25that she's going to have three mistakes.
31:28Tess?
31:31Tess!
31:33Don't haunt me.
31:34I swear.
31:35I'm going to be a good girl now.
31:38She promises she won't.
31:40Really?
31:45Okay.
31:47Oh, by the way, can you tell your mom
31:53that she still owes me 20 bucks?
31:59Yeah.
32:00Yeah?
32:05Everything good here?
32:06Just a couple of minutes.
32:12Go ahead.
32:13Amy.
32:18Okay, baby.
32:20We're here.
32:22We're going to go.
32:22You're going to need them.
32:24We're going to need them.

32:44They'll eat them.
32:52They'll love them.
32:56And they'll love them as a real pain.
33:02It's just a look like this.
33:26You're still here, Mom.
33:30We got this.
33:42The fifth ward's a hallway test, not a home. You're loitering.
33:49What do you need?
33:52You. Heaven's getting impatient.
33:55You tell St. Peter, I'm not a Jew. I'm a OT.
33:59Come with me, or I make things very difficult for her.
34:04Subukan mo.
34:06Maghalo ang balat sa tinalupan.
34:14Then this is gonna be fun.
34:16Hmm.
34:45Heh heh heh.
34:48I'd rather break the rules and then I'll walk away.
34:54Let the free breath take His stride.
35:00Heaven can't wait if it's still old or it's mine.
35:07If God is not, He'll understand me.
35:10This broken heart had to be filled by you and me.
35:18Am I sinning, am I paying for this interception?
35:22I know I'm not special, I'm not an exception.
35:25But this gift is in a curse, it justifies convention.
35:30Talking to the dead is how I hold my attention.
35:33What would you have me do with this ability?
35:36I'd use it the best I can for my sanity.
35:40Every time I reach for you in my bed, I hear you say I knock.
35:44It's time to nurse the dead.
35:51Come on mama, help me nurse the dead.
35:54All these parts of me that never lived inside.
35:58Heaven can't wait, I'm not ready yet.
36:01Your shifts not over in my head.
36:05Come on mama, help me nurse the dead.
36:08Stay on this floor, don't talk I am.
36:11You taught me how to care for everyone else.
36:14Now teach me how to finally care for myself.
36:27Come on mama, help me nurse the dead.
36:33You are the old man who Einstrand.
36:34You are the dead.
36:36You are the dead.
36:37You are even the dead.
