TVTranscript
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.
00:22My mom gave her whole life to it.
00:24And somehow, I followed her here.
00:29It's kind of a Filipino thing.
00:31You look back far enough, across oceans, across decades, and you'll find us at the bedside, in the chaos, holding
00:42the line when everything else gives up.
00:45Because Filipinos, we don't just care.
00:50We 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 ward people don't even like to say out loud.
01:22Ward 5.
01:25Where the patients don't always check out.
01:27And most people with good instincts transfer out.
01:33Which 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.
01:46So how do you see that 99 cents store?
01:49I didn't miss my audition.
01:51Good morning, ko!
01:52You're not going to miss the audition.
01:52Good morning, ko!
01:53You're not going to miss me anymore.
01:56I'm going to miss you again.
01:56Oh, my God!
01:57Oh!
02:00You're not going to miss you again.
02:03I'm going to miss you again.
02:03Have a great day!
02:05You guessed it.
02:06I see dead people.
02:11It'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 LA.
02:34Hey, hey, hey, it's true, isn't it?
02:37These wards haunted, that's why nobody wants to work here?
02:41Ghosts?
02:41Yeah.
02:43What?
02:44Ghosts?
02:46Oh, don't judge.
02:47The proper medical terms, therapeutic denial.
02:50No!
02:52Did you hear that?
02:54No!
02:55Yes, you did.
02:56No!
02:58Oh, that's why.
03:00What why?
03:03Surgically.
03:03She's mad Grace is fake news.
03:07Oh, no.
03:08He's out.
03:09That's your medical opinion.
03:10She?
03:13Uh, yes.
03:15Meredith, now.
03:16Almost 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!
03:29Oh, where'd that come from?
03:32Huh?
03:33Ah!
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!
03:51Oh, yeah!
03:51Called it.
03:55Well, 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, get the nurses to stop blaming the turnover on dead people.
04:29We can't bill for ghosts.
04:34You're probably wondering why this beautiful, happy, sane girl in front of you who happens
04:38to see ghosts wants to work on a haunted floor.
04:40Good morning.
04:44With 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.
05:38The hard part?
05:39Pretending we're not related.
05:40Can't be having Nepo vibes messing with my boss energy.
05:47Filipino time na naman ba tayo?
05:49O diva time ang peg?
05:52Some parents gamble, drink, do shabu-shabu.
05:54But my mom's vice?
05:55Work.
05:56Look, sinong kausap mo?
05:59Ah, yan ba yung ADHD nat pinupost nila?
06:02No one.
06:03And I'm 15 minutes early.
06:05Ako, laging one hour early.
06:07Kasi wala namang perfect attendance sa Filipino time.
06:10Remember, if anyone asks, you don't know me.
06:13Oh, eh sinong niloloko mo?
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.
06:26They're great.
06:27But is everyone always so?
06:29Icon Diva.
06:33Legend star.
06:35Icon Diva.
06:37Legend star.
06:42It's so great to meet you.
06:45What 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.
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!
07:27Why do your eyebugs look like scrotum?
07:30Ah, I'm happy!
07:32Leadership book says,
07:34focus on what you can change.
07:35And this board's got a rep.
07:37Bad morale.
07:38High turnover.
07:39What bad morale?
07:47Americans are so spoiled.
07:49Sa Pilipinas nga noon,
07:50umupo ka lang,
07:51terminated ka na.
07:53Dati na,
07:54guava brunch lang
07:54ang ginagamit namin pang tuli.
07:56Sa basketball court pa yun.
07:58Sa ilalim ng tirik na araw.
07:59With an attack!
08:00Yeah, sure, mom.
08:01A machete.
08:02But let's not forget the elephant in the room.
08:06Your anxiety pills totally look like this vitamin
08:09that I took in Ibiza.
08:13Except that one came with a DJ named Ramon
08:16and a restraining order.
08:18Jane gave me one month to turn this place around,
08:20and I will.
08:22I just gotta figure out how to get everyone to work like,
08:24you know, normal people.
08:26Intindihin mo na lang sila, Anna.
08:29COVID,
08:30then monkeypox,
08:31Alpha, Delta, Omicron,
08:33parang mga ex-boyfriend mo.
08:34Iba-iba pangalan,
08:35pero pare-parehong daot,
08:36lalo na yung puti na may herpes.
08:39Ah, for the last time!
08:41It was a pimple!
08:43My point is,
08:45we need proper staffing,
08:46and the vibes can't be dead around here.
08:49No offense.
08:52May mga tao talagang ayaw gumitaw
08:55kahit overdue na.
09:00You're right.
09:02They need a day to let go and let loose.
09:05In my sorority,
09:06whenever we were down,
09:07we 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,
09:26Mr. Binks in 501 claims
09:28ghosts are, quote,
09:29making his bedpans fly.
09:32Super excited to make my special announcement.
09:34So dumb.
09:36Ghosts don't need bedpans.
09:37Well, speaking of legends and liquids,
09:40I once did a commercial with the Fernando Paul Jr.
09:44That was the Gerber baby commercial!
09:46Slay, you were a Gerber baby?
09:48No.
09:49She was the belly.
09:55It's like diarrhea.
09:56You just want to squeeze it out.
09:58But,
09:58leadership book says,
10:00listen first.
10:01If there's nobody else,
10:03I have a super exciting announcement,
10:05and you're all gonna love it.
10:07Ooh!
10:08I love announcements.
10:09Yeah.
10:09Last time we got excited,
10:10Channing 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.
10:31Booked.
10:32My 311,327 followers
10:35fight over who gets to invite me.
10:38Cool, cool.
10:40But I know the rest of you are holding it in.
10:43I think you're great.
10:45Look at Adson.
10:45He'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.
10:58Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:58I'll just leave it in the break room.
11:11A true leader shakes so well.
11:14Even though the rhythm's dead.
11:26I ain't paying you to play
11:27piñata party planner on my dime.
11:30I'm on break.
11:45Why are you making that face?
11:46This celebration is the morale boost
11:52that we need to fix retention.
11:54Infection control plan first.
11:57Parties later.
11:58All set.
12:00Updated SOPs, fall prevention,
12:02patient monitoring,
12:03and team communication SOP
12:05to quell rumors about unseen guests.
12:08As requested.
12:09Doesn't make sense
12:11that they're only on the fifth floor.
12:13They stick around
12:14for all kinds of unfinished things.
12:18At least that's what I hear.
12:21Okay.
12:22Ghost whisperer.
12:23And the SOPs look great.
12:25Then again,
12:25I've known you long enough
12:27to never doubt you.
12:28Thanks, Fox.
12:29You're on a break, remember?
12:31Right.
12:32Thanks, friend.
12:36Do you ever think haters
12:37are going to think
12:38that I'm getting preferential treatment?
12:40Oh, please.
12:41First black D.O. in here.
12:43Haters come with the badge, baby.
12:50Ugh.
12:51Tastes like death.
12:55How you holding up?
12:58Uh, I love my job.
13:00Sweetheart.
13:01I am not talking about the job.
13:04Third year anniversary
13:05coming up a few...
13:06Time's up.
13:07Back on the clock.
13:09Let's shove that back
13:10in the do not open file.
13:15You really want to throw this party?
13:19Five percent of nurses
13:20in the U.S. are Filipino.
13:23Thirty percent of the nurses
13:24we lost during the pandemic
13:25and we've got a whole floor
13:27full of them.
13:28If I've learned one thing,
13:30you celebrate
13:30while you still can't.
13:33Well,
13:35you have to convince
13:36your penais
13:37to bring the lumpia
13:38because I can't foot that bill.
13:41Then I better get back to work.
13:43See you guys.
13:50Oh.
13:52Still nasty.
13:53Ugh.
13:57Wala pa rin
13:58nag-sa-sign up?
14:01Just tell them
14:02you're my daughter
14:03and boom!
14:04Instant potluck!
14:06Mag-uunahan pa ang mga nurses
14:07kung sino magdadala ng lumpia.
14:09I have to do this one
14:10on my own, Mom.
14:12The good book says
14:13people don't care
14:15how much you know
14:16until they feel
14:17how much you care.
14:18Go ahead.
14:19Care harder.
14:21Pakapatay mga multo,
14:22mag-sign up.
14:26and came dancing
14:28by the Nile.
14:31And came dancing by the Nile.
14:34Camille!
14:36I saw your video.
14:38Total star quality.
14:40And you even got to share the stage
14:41with, um,
14:43Rustome Padilla.
14:45Bet you he's even
14:46hunkier now.
14:49You know what?
14:51I don't just sing.
14:54I transcend.
14:56Wow.
14:58That's so
14:59celestial of you.
15:02Bring that
15:03to the party.
15:04So you are bringing
15:06a karaoke machine.
15:22Good morning.
15:26Poor girl.
15:27She doesn't have a magic sing.
15:30Old dick.
15:34This way you'll know
15:35which pill is which.
15:36Have you ever wondered
15:37how they make some pills
15:38so round like this?
15:40So, have you thought
15:41about what you're bringing
15:41to the Cinco de Mayo party?
15:44I-I can't.
15:46We always did Cinco de Mayo
15:47right in Appleton.
15:48Blindfold stick,
15:49hitting things.
15:50If I don't do that,
15:51my body doesn't know
15:52that it's a holiday.
15:55Your body.
15:59Oh!
16:00A pinata!
16:02No!
16:03Pin the tail
16:03on the donkey!
16:17There is absolutely
16:18nowhere to hide this thing.
16:20Try mo sa basarahan.
16:22You can't get out.
16:35It's a magic wand.
16:37Try mo sa basarahan.
16:37And if I don't get
16:39You can't get out.
16:40So you can get out.
16:45Have a good day.
16:46Bye.
16:46All right.
16:46Bye.
16:47Bye.
17:01Oh, holy crap, are you okay?
17:03No, 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.
17:12Bread-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.
17:39I just need help finding more secret stash songs.
17:42I know the perfect place.
17:45But you have to trust me.
17:54So, how's this for a little secret?
18:00Crap.
18:03I'm just going to go get changed.
18:10I wasn't going to smoke.
18:12I wasn't going to-
18:13Girl.
18:15Please.
18:16With those cakes, she's tasting the rainbow.
18:21Can't face the rainbow.
18:24Why am I suddenly craving Skittles?
18:30Two more days.
18:32Cinco de Mayo on the 7th.
18:34I will see you there.
18:36Hey!
18:37Cinco de Mayo on the 7th.
18:39Have you signed up yet?
18:40Aloha!
18:42Cinco de Mayo on the 7th.
18:43Okay, well I have more flyers.
18:45Over there.
18:48Even if you don't care.
18:50Even if you don't care.
18:50Even if you don't care.
18:51Even if you don't care.
18:52Oh yeah?
18:53Mm-mm.
18:54Then I'll have to be unignorable.
19:04That's him.
19:05That's him.
19:06I bet you he was hired from the parking lot of home people.
19:14You're on.
19:15You're on.
19:37You're on.
19:38You'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 this is already tomorrow, um, let's see who's bringing what.
20:05I've got, uh, George for...
20:08A box of twins?
20:12Uh...
20:12What's that?
20:13What's that?
20:14My office.
20:16Now!
20:23Sit.
20:24Down.
20:30Look, I asked Dondon to hire the mariachi band, and I honestly thought that it was going
20:35to be something so great for everybody.
20:36Noah.
20:37And honestly, this is all I've been waiting for is for everyone.
20:40Noah!
20:40Jane, you don't get it.
20:44You are on the clock!
20:49Sorry, ma'am.
20:56As 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 bats?
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.
21:37You.
21:38Ugh!
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.
22:05Wow!
22:10We've got a code.
22:13We've been waiting for a couple days.
22:16I'll get out for a couple days later.
22:21All right.
22:21All right.
22:22I'll get we going for a couple days.
22:25I'm going for you.
22:27I'm going for a couple days.
22:33You're so excited!
22:51I'm sorry, Noah.
22:54Yeah, sorry.
23:09No, you're not.
23:14None of you care.
23:21You 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.
24:13Do you want to talk to me?
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?
24:22You're like a spoiled brat.
24:24You work too much to spoil anyone.
24:26Sorry, I'm a single mother.
24:28I'm only your own personal chef, personal Uber driver, psychiatrist, emotional support anima.
24:39Are you ready?
24:41No!
24:43Okay.
24:44Just tell me if you're ready for some motherly advice.
24:48What do I know?
25:04You know I have to keep this job.
25:07What do you think of it?
25:36Do you need ice?
25:38Or would you like your dignity back?
25:52I can't even get the ghost to stop scaring the newbies.
26:05You're not gonna fire me, right?
26:08Again, that's for another day, anak.
26:14Let's just get married that you're working on tomorrow.
26:35Ooh!
26:47Ooh.
26:50Ooh!
26:51Ooh!
26:51Ooh!
26:51Ooh!
26:52Ooh!
26:52Ooh!
27:22Good morning, friend.
27:24Sorry, boss. I already clocked 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.
27:41Most of the time.
27:44Where is everybody?
27:47Come on.
27:51The board might show up later.
27:54Child, they watch everything.
28:24I, um...
28:26No 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.
29:04Oh?
29:05Oh?
29:09Just...
29:13Hi, anak.
29:18They know everything, mom.
29:21They know everything.
29:23Eh, bakit naman hindi eh, hindi ito akong...
29:25No!
29:25Stop!
29:26Come on, mommy, just come on!
29:28Guys, guys, we push as much empathy as we can!
29:32You're not going in right, move!
29:33My turn!
29:381046, I'm calling it.
29:39There's nothing we can do.
29:47I'm sorry, anak, pero 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?
30:04Let's go.
30:19Please don't leave me, mommy.
30:23I don't have anybody else.
30:28Kailangan din kitang iwan, balang araw.
30:31Pero, hindi pa ngayon.
30:35Kailangan na ako.
30:55Kailangan na, ha?
30:57Kailangan na, ha?
31:00Kailangan na, ha?
31:00Kailangan na, ha?
31:00Your mom wasn't joking.
31:02Sorry?
31:03She used to joke that you can see ghosts.
31:06Can you really see ghosts?
31:10Is she, is she here right now?
31:17Ooh, she said if I keep being an asshole, she's going to tickle my feet when I'm asleep.
31:23Asus, kahit nga yung grim reaper, takot sa paa niya natatatlong daliri.
31:28Tess?
31:32Tess!
31:33Don't haunt me.
31:34I swear, I'm going to be a good girl now.
31:38She promises she won't.
31:41Really?
31:45Okay.
31:47Oh, by the way, can you tell your mom that she still owes me 20 bucks?
31:59Yeah.
32:00Yeah?
32:05Everything good here?
32:06Just a couple of minutes.
32:12Tess!
32:13Tess!

32:50If you're a real person, you're a real person and you're a real person.
33:03He's just like a monster, sometimes it's like a monster.
33:11But they will be someone who will tell you, even if they don't understand what they're saying.
33:27You're still here mom. We got this.
33:42The fifth ward's a hallway test, not a home.
33:47You're loitering.
33:49What's your 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.
34:05You try.
34:06You're going to get the blood out of the sea.
34:08What?
34:15Then this is going to be fun.
34:16Oh no.
34:17Oh no.
34:30Oh no.
34:37What?
34:39Oh no.
34:41Heaven knows the dead
34:43Call all the ghosts underneath my chains
34:47I said, let me down the way
34:50I'd rather break the rules than walk away
34:54Let the free breath take his time
35:00Heaven can't wait if it's still old or it's mine
35:07If God is not, he'll understand
35:10This broken heart had to play by you and me
35:19Am I sinning? Am I paying for this interception?
35:23I know I'm not special, I'm not an exception
35:26But this gift is in a curse, it just defies convention
35:29Talking 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
35:39Every 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
35:57Heaven can't wait, I'm not ready yet
36:00Your shift's not over in my mind
36:05Come on mama, help me nurse the dead
36:08Stay on this floor, no one's not quiet
36:11You taught me how to care for everyone else
36:14Now teach me how to finally be careful myself
36:28Come on mama, help me nurse the dead
36:33Come on mama, help me nurse the dead
36:38Come on famished
36:38requirements
36:38Why we're not safe for you, maybe it's cold
