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.
01:43I definitely didn't think that one through.
01:46So how did you get to the 99th Sand Store?
01:48Well, I didn't miss my audition.
01:50Good morning, girl!
01:53You can't do it.
01:54You can't do it.
01:56Come on!
01:57You can't do it!
02:00You can't do it.
02:02You can't do it again.
02:03You can't do it again.
02:03You can't do it again.
02:04You can't do it again.
02:05You can't do it again.
02:11You can't do it again.
02:12It's something tragic.
02:13I'm the only one I know who's had the third eye since-
02:19Oops!
02:20I'll 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, it's true, isn't it?
02:36These wards, haunted, that's why nobody wants to work here?
02:40Ghosts?
02:43What? Ghosts?
02:46Oh, don't judge. The proper medical terms? Therapeutic denial.
02:50No.
02:52Did you hear that?
02:53No.
02:55Yes, you did.
02:57Oh, that's why.
03:00What why?
03:03She's mad Grace's fake news.
03:07Oh, no.
03:08He's our...
03:09That's your medical opinion?
03:10She?
03:12Uh...
03:14Yes.
03:15I almost let my secret slip.
03:18Go stick around for all kinds of reasons.
03:20Unfinished business, guilt, love, hate.
03:23The stronger the emotion, the more they can mess with you.
03:26Dumb show.
03:29Where'd that come from?
03:33Ahhhh!
03:34Ah!
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%. I need it at 100 in four weeks.
04:24And while you're at it, get 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 who happens to see ghosts wants to
04:39work 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 slip, I'm statically orgasmic.
05:15Sure 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.
05:47Are we Filipino time now, or diva time?
05:51Some parents gamble, drink, do shibu-shibu, but my mom's vice? Work.
05:56Who are you talking about?
05:58Ah, is that the ADHD that they posted?
06:02No one.
06:02And 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 are you kidding me?
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?
06:42It's so great to meet you. What was your name again?
06:46You don't know me?
06:49Well, 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, Camille.
07:03Yung 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!
07:26Hindi ka na naman nakatulog ano?
07:28Why do your eyebugs look like scrotum?
07:30Ah, I'm happy!
07:32Leadership book says, focus on what you can change.
07:35And this board's got a rep. Bad morale. High turnover.
07:39What bad morale?
07:47Americans are so spoiled.
07:49Sa Pinas 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.
08:22I 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, parang mga ex-boyfriend mo.
08:34Iba-iba pangalan, pero pare-parehong daot, lalo na yung puti na may herpes.
08:38Ah, for the last time! It 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.
08:56Yeah.
09:00You're right.
09:02They need a day to let go and let loose.
09:05In my sorority, whenever we were down, we had to 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 Fernando Bo Jr.
09:44That was the Gerber baby commercial!
09:46Slay, you were a Gerber baby?
09:48No. It was the belly.
09:55It's like diarrhea.
09:56You 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.
10:32My 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 Adson. He's Mexican.
10:46And he's not even excited!
10:48Here's the potluck sign-up sheet.
10:51Not everyone sign up at once.
10:54Yes.
10:55Can we, like, go back to work now?
10:57Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:58I'll just leave it in the break room.
11:11A true leader shakes so well.
11:13Even 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.
11:53Infection 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.
12:09Doesn'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.
12:23And the SOPs look great.
12:25Then again, I've known you long enough to never doubt you.
12:28Thanks, Fox.
12:29You're on a break, remember?
12:31Right.
12:32Thanks, friend.
12:36Do you ever think haters are gonna think that I'm getting preferential treatment?
12:40Oh, please.
12:41First black Dio in here.
12:43Haters come with the badge, baby.
12:51Tastes like death.
12:55How you holding up?
12:57Uh, I love my job.
13:00Sweetheart.
13:01I 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.
13:28If I've learned one thing, you celebrate while you still can.
13:33Well...
13:35You have to convince your Pinays to bring the lumpia because I can't foot that bill.
13:41Then I better get back to work. See you guys.
13:50Oh.
13:51Still nasty.
13:53Ugh.
13:57Is there still no sign-up yet?
14:01Just tell them you're my daughter and boom! Instant potluck!
14:06I have to do this one on my own, Mom.
14:12The good book says, people don't care how much you know until they feel how much you care.
14:18Go ahead. Care harder.
14:21Baka pati mga multo, mag-sign up.
14:34Camille!
14:36I saw your video.
14:38Total star quality.
14:40And you even got to share the stage with, um, Rustum Padilla.
14:45Bet you he's even hunkier now.
14:49You know what?
14:51I don't just sing.
14:53I transcend.
14:56Wow.
14:57That's so...
15:00celestial of you.
15:02Bring that to the party.
15:04So you are bringing a karaoke machine.
15:21Good morning.
15:22Good morning.
15:26Poor girl.
15:27She doesn't have a magic sing.
15:29Old dick.
15:31Ugh.
15:33This way you'll know which pill is which.
15:36Have 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.
15:54Your body.
15:58Oh! A pinata!
16:02No!
16:03Pin the tail on the donkey!
16:17There is absolutely nowhere to hide this thing.
16:20Try mo sa basarahan.
16:34I'll put that on my side.
16:37It is so funny.
16:41You'll leave you alone, but you will know which pill is supposed to be not true.
16:44That's what you have done.
16:44It's not true.
16:45You're a grown person.
16:45I'll leave you alone for a moment.
16:45I love you.
16:47I love you.
16:48I love you...
16:52If you're fully prepared, don't sit on your phone.
17:01Oh, holy crap, are you okay?
17:03No, look, no, look.
17:03I don't want you to see all the decorations.
17:07Ed, why haven't you signed up yet?
17:09Need to check my chip schedule?
17:11Schedules in my brain.
17:12Rent free.
17:14Uh, here, 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, please.
18:16With those cakes, she's tasting the rainbow.
18:20Can't face the rainbow.
18:24Why am I suddenly craving 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!
18:41Cinco de Mayo on the 7th.
18:43Okay, well, I have more flyers over there.
18:47Even if you don't have any money, you won't have any money.
18:50You won't have any money.
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.
19:09What a racist.
19:11Gay bar.
19:13West Hollywood.
19:14You're on.
19:15You're on.
19:39So, even though Ward 5 is operating at a deficit as far as staffing goes, if you look at the
19:45door.
19:51Excuse me, gentlemen.
19:59Uh, as soon as this is already tomorrow, um, let's see who's bringing what.
20:05I've got, uh, George for...
20:07A box of Twins?
20:11Uh...
20:12What's that?
20:13What's that?
20:13My office.
20:15Now.
20:23Sit.
20:24Down.
20:30Look, I asked Dondon to hire the mariachi band, and I honestly thought that it was going to be something
20:35so 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 have 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.
21:34They're gone too.
21:37Ugh!
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!
22:10Uh, uh.
22:26Um...
22:27Uh...
22:28Uh huh.
22:33Uh wham, um...
22:36Mary's makes her like,
22:50I'm sorry, Noah.
22:53Yeah, sorry.
23:09No you're not, none of you care, you don't care.
23:25Maybe 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.
24:15I said I don't want to talk about it.
24:17What's the case if you're not listening?
24:20What are you going to do?
24:21Ground me?
24:22You're like a spoiled brat.
24:23You work too much to spoil anyone.
24:26Sorry ha, single mother eh.
24:28Ako lang naman ang iyong personal chef,
24:30personal Uber driver, psychiatrist,
24:32emotional support anim...
24:39Tapos ka na ba?
24:40No!
24:43Okay, sabihan 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.
25:20Hayaan mo muna.
25:21Kahit isang araw lang.
25:24Paka doon mo makita kung anong kulang.
25:31Uy, mukhang nanalo ang storage area sa round na to ah.
25:36Kailangan mo ng ice?
25:39Or would you like your dignity back?
25:52I can't even get the ghost to stop scaring the newbies.
26:05They're not going to fire me, right?
26:08Again, that's for another day, anak.
26:14Pagdasal na lang natin na may trabaho ka pa bukas.
27:00Let me send you to aotine.
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. But a month's probation stands.
27:38Even friends have to follow the rules. Most of the time.
27:44Where is everybody?
27:46Come on.
27:51The board might show up later. Child, they watch everything.
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.
29:02I'm sorry.
29:04Oh.
29:05Just.
29:12Hi, anak.
29:18They know everything, mom.
29:21They know everything.
29:23Eh, why not?
29:24No.
29:25I don't know.
29:25Stop!
29:26Come on, mommy.
29:27Just come on!
29:28Guys, we push as much empathy as we can!
29:32You're not going in right now!
29:33It's harder!
29:371046.
29:38I'm calling it.
29:39There's nothing we can do.
29:47I'm sorry, anak.
29:48Pero kailangan ko pa bang mag-unwari na hindi ako namatay?
29:55Therapeutic na na, ha?
29:57Therapeutic na na, ha?
30:00Therapeutic na na, ha?
30:04Let's go.
30:19Please don't leave me, mommy.
30:23I don't want to have anybody else.
30:28Kailangan din kitang iwan, balang araw.
30:30Love, pero hindi pa ngayon.
30:35Kailangan din pa ako.
30:55Tidak sama na, ha?
30:55Tidak sama na, ha?
30:56Tidak sama na, ha?
30:59Sama na, ha?
30:59Tidak sama na, ha?
31:00Ha?
31:00Your mom wasn't joking.
31:03Sorry?
31:03She used to joke that you can see ghosts.
31:05Can you really see ghosts?
31:10Is she... is she here right now?
31:18She said 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 daliri.
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,
31:49can you...
31:52tell your mom that she still owes me 20 bucks?
31:59Yeah.
32:00Yeah?
32:05Everything good here?
32:06Just a couple of minutes.
32:12Shh.
32:13Go ahead.
32:18I'm sorry for the rest.
32:22I'm sorry.
32:23You're not okay.
32:24You're right.
32:24Thank God for you,
32:26thank God for you,
32:26thank God for some,
32:28for the way you walk me through the night.
32:31The world was brighter when you were here.
32:34Now we're chasing shadows just to feel...
32:37And don't forget them.
32:39They also need.
32:45They'll eat.
32:53They'll be happy.
32:56And they'll be loving it like a real blood.
33:02It looks like they're getting hurt.
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?
33:51You. Heaven's getting impatient.
33:55You tell St. Peter, I'm not a Jew. I'm an OT.
33:58Come with me, or I make things very difficult for her.
34:04Subukan mo. Maghalo ang balat sa tinalupan.
34:14Then this is gonna be fun.
34:16Subukan mo.
34:17.
34:27.
34:27Come on, mama, happiness, the dead.
34:30Hold this part to me, but never in the sand.
34:33And we can't wait, I'm not ready yet.
34:36It's not over with my head.
34:40Come on, mama, happiness, the dead.
34:43Call on the ghost underneath my chains.
34:47If you're on the sand, let me down the way.
34:50I'd rather break the rules than walk away.
34:53And if we breathe, we can take his time.
35:00Heaven can't wait if the rules are mine.
35:07If God is not, he'll understand me.
35:10This broken heart has to be with 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 isn't 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'll use it the best I can for my sanity.
35:40Every time I reach for you in my bed,
35:43I hear you say, I knock, it'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 shift's not over with my head.
36:05Come on, mama, help me nurse the dead.
36:07Stay on this floor, don't come, come yet.
36:11You taught me how to care for everyone else.
36:14Now teach me how to finally care for myself.
36:28Come on, mama, help me nurse the dead.
36:33You
