Isn't it finally time
you admitted I'm quicker?

- Old man.
- Ooh!

These young boys always come out

the side of they mouth.

Uh, what you run the
40 in at the Combine?

Um, 4.46.

That's good, that's fast. 4.42.

- Ooh!
- Oh.

If you even, I'm leaving, baby.

You got to keep up,
know what I'm saying?

- You got it.
- Come on.

I literally have no
idea what just happen.

Baby, now you know how I feel

when I come pick you up from work.

Everybody run around, talking about,

"Let me get 50ccs of epi,
STAT," or something. I'm like...

50ccs of epi? You trying
to kill my patient?

Baby, mm.

Doc in the house.

What's good?

- What's going on, man?
- Good, man.

Hey, let me set you up with a beverage.

Yeah, sure, sure.

- Noah?
- Hey.

What's up, man?

What's happening, brother?

What's up?

Got to get these fellas
ready for morning practice.

Gonna get your fast
break on point tomorrow,

- I'm telling you.
- Sounds good. Come on.

All right. I'll be right back.

- What's he doing here?
- I...

He said he wanted to meet some players.

So what's all this, man?

All right, so this is
my recovery ultra, okay?

It's filled with electrolytes
and antioxidants.

Yeah, that sounds real good.

But first, I want to
get you guys started

with some B-12, okay?

Babe?

- I got to go home.
- What's wrong?

Nothing, I just have an
early shift in the morning.

- Okay, I'll drive you.
- No, no, no.

Stay with your friends.
I-I just texted for a ride.

Honeymooners with food poisoning,

take 'em to four.

You can say it.

What?

You were right about athletes.

Ah, what happened?

Help!

Get me a gurney.

Dr. Manning, we're going to six.

Oh, my stomach is on fire!

What's your name, sweetheart?

Ellie Newman.

It's okay, we're gonna take
good care of you, all right?

- Get me a gurney.
- I'm on it, Maggie.

Get ready to raise the head.

- Let's start an IV.
- On it.

Are you her father?

- Uh, yeah.
- She eat anything

- that could have made her sick?
- No-she ate what I ate.

- How old is your daughter?
- She's 16.

She on any medications?

Any medical issues we should know about?

I-I don't think so. I don't know.

When did this start?

Uh, last night.

Did you take any drugs?

Alcohol? Were you at a party?

No, I was just trying on my prom dress.

Oh, baby.

BP is 138/88. Heart rate 112, stats 99%.

Give her 0.2 of hydromorphone.

No, no drugs!

Sweetie, you are in
pain. Let us help you.

No, I don't want any drugs!

She doesn't want to end up like me.

- Synced and corrected by martythecrazy -

FAST is negative,
I-STAT labs are normal.

So it's probably not a surgical issue?

I'd like to put a scope in her

just to make sure we're
not missing anything.

Without pain meds?

We could try a non-narcotic.
Maybe she'll go for that.

Hi, Ellie, Mr. Newman,
this is Dr. Rhodes,

our trauma surgeon. I've
asked him to consult.

Has Ellie ever experienced this before?

- Um...
- A year ago.

A year ago.

How long did it last?

Maybe, like, three weeks.

Your daughter was sick
like this for three weeks,

and you didn't know?

- I was...
- Strung out?

Yeah.

Ellie, we're gonna give you a painkiller

that's non-narcotic.

I don't want anything.

The girl won't even take two aspirin.

Did you see a doctor
for your last attack?

But he couldn't find anything.

He sent me to a psychologist.

But I'm not making this up.

Don't worry, Ellie, we're gonna
get to the bottom of this.

I don't know, she's in a lot of pain.

Maybe it is psychological.

I'll page Dr. Charles.

- Dr. Rhodes?
- Yep.

Your sister's on line two.

Uh, right, tell her
I need to reschedule.

Like you did last week?

Yes, Maggie, like I did last week.

Ms. Rhodes, he's with a patient.

He said he won't be able
to make lunch today,

but he'll call you back to reschedule.

- Okay.
- Hey, Maggie.

Do you by any chance know
of a good contractor?

For what?

I'm thinking about turning the basement

into a man cave for Bert.

Oh, trying to buy him off

so he'll stop bugging
you about retiring.

Something like that.

Yeah, I got a cousin,
not too big a crook.

Text me his number.

I will.

Dr. Halstead.

Maggie.

I got a patient in two

that's from your old hood, Canaryville.

Thought you might be interested.

Sure.

Vitals?

BP 164/90, heart rate 92, Sat 99%.

Okay, Mr... .Tucker.

You got to be kidding me.

Ginger Spice is our doctor.

- No way.
- Ginger Spice?

Ah, what they called
me back at De La Salle.

How about we get a real doctor?

Dr. Halstead is a real
doctor, an excellent doctor.

It's okay Reese, this is how

we gentlemen relate in Canaryville.

Andrew, what's going on with that leg?

Swelled up during my truck route.

Pain won't let up.

Push on my hand, like
you're stepping on the gas.

Come on.

All right, how long
ago did the pain start?

About 12 hours.

Why didn't you say something?

I would've had Pete take
over your deliveries.

Wasn't this bad at first.

- You on any medication?
- No.

Still smoke?

Been cutting back.

Alcohol?

Not much since this one bumped me up

to transpo coordinator.

Gotta be ready to cover
any driver who calls out.

Hey, you should ask
Ginger about the fight

we had in high school.

Caught him staring at my girl.

How many times I knock you on your ass?

A hundred?

Sounds about right.

Ever had any pain or
swelling like this before?

- Any shortness of breath?
- No.

Okay, well, we're gonna
start with some basic labs

and get a duplex scan of your legs

and we'll take it from there.

So, where you living now, Ginger?

Gold Coast?

Not quite.

I'll get those orders started.

Were they always like that?

The Tucker brothers were very popular,

and they loved sticking
it to us lesser mortals.

Go ahead and order an
ultrasound of Mr. Tucker's leg.

April.

Hi.

How's my guy?

- Better.
- Much better.

Coming in for Eric's check-up upstairs.

Cool.

Hold on, hold on.

You got little hands. See
if you can untangle these.

- I can do it.
- All right.

Please?

Just wanted to make sure you're okay.

You left in a bit of a hurry.

Look, um... I don't know if
this was such a good idea.

Wait, what do you mean?

Last night, just not my scene.

It's not mine either.
I'm... okay, it used to be,

but I got Eric now.
Things are different.

Just wanted you to meet some
old friends, that's all.

Mm-hmm. Yeah, I don't know.

I have to get back to work.

Daddy, I did it!

Good job.

Bye.

It's a tough situation, man.

16 years old, taking care of herself

and her heroin-addicted father,

doing it for years.

She said she was trying
on her prom dress,

I mean, could that have
been some kind of trigger,

and maybe the pain is psychosomatic?

Possibly, I don't really know enough

to make that call.

We have to figure out what's going on.

The only way we're gonna
do that is if we scope her.

We can't, unless we get her to accept

- pain meds or an anesthetic.
- Uhhuh.

Given her family history,

we have to take her concern
for addiction very seriously.

Okay, so what do we do?

Well, how about

a good, old-fashioned
topical numbing agent?

You know, worth a shot.

That's okay, sweetie, we
will take care of them.

Dr. Choi, April. Doris, open that door.

Neela Desai, 32 weeks
pregnant and contracting.

Got it.

Let's rotate the chair.

- Mommy.
- Go with the nurse, okay?

Let's take them to the break room

to get a snack, okay?

Okay, Mama.

We're going to take care of your mommy,

and then we're gonna
come and get you, okay?

- Okay, let's go.
- Go ahead, love,

take them to the break room.

Lie back so the doctor can examine you.

There you go.

- Take this out, please.
- Okay.

Okay, you're in good hands, love.

Okay.

I can't have this baby.

It's not due for another two months.

- Page O.B.
- BP 142/90.

That's high, probably due
to anxiety or the pain.

Just to be safe, I'm gonna
order some labs, okay?

You're gonna feel a little pressure.

She's bleeding from the cervix.

Grab six gram mag bolus, and call O.B.,

tell 'em we're coming up.

Wait, what's going on?

Ms. Desai, you may be
experiencing an abruption.

Your placenta is separating
from the wall of your uterus.

The overall picture
suggests something called

pre-eclampsia with HELLP syndrome.

What... what does that mean?

It means we need to
deliver this baby now.

- No, no, no, no, no.
- I know.

32 weeks is more premature
than we like, but right now,

your baby's safer outside
of your body than inside.

Yeah, I can't deliver
this baby premature,

this is not my baby.

I'm a surrogate. I'm carrying this baby

for someone else.

I need to carry it to
term or I don't get paid.

If we don't deliver now,
this condition could be fatal

for both you and the baby.

- Yeah, I need the money.
- Ms. Desai, I don't...

No!

No, we just got out
of the shelter, okay?

I'm not putting my boys
through another Chicago winter

in one, so please, help me.

It was nice talking to you.

How'd she do on the psych eval?

In my opinion, Ms. Desai is competent,

capable of making her own decisions.

Mentally, she's stable.

How can she be stable?

She's risking her life and the baby's.

She has no genetic connection
to that baby, Ethan.

Another couple's fertilized
egg is implanted in her womb.

For her, it's about making enough money

to take care of her kids.

Then that's it, then.

We have to respect the patient's wishes.

We can't force her to deliver.

You expect me to just
wait for her to die?

Well, I'll call her surrogacy agency,

see if they can help us find a solution.

Trucks are on their way,
just running a little late.

We're backed up with me
out of the office today.

Let me call you back.

You finally figured out what's going on?

Duplex scan shows that
the swelling of your leg

is being caused by a DVT.
Deep vein thrombosis.

- A what?
- Okay, English, Halstead.

You've got a blood clot in your leg.

- So how do you fix it?
- Blood thinners.

Enoxaparin is where I'd start.

Hold on.

Most of the time,
administering blood thinner

like enoxaparin would
be the right answer,

but given Andrew's history,
I'm leery of doing that.

It could cause
intra-cranial hemorrhaging.

Bleeding?

Yes, in the brain.

I remember you getting into
your fair share of scuffles

back in high school.
Is that still the case?

Only when the Packers are in town.

When you've experienced
trauma to the head,

blood thinners are more likely
to make your brain bleed,

cause you to stroke... possibly die.

Whoa.

I'm gonna make sure that doesn't happen.

For now, I'd like to get
a CT scan of your head

to establish a baseline,
then we'll wait and see.

Wait, that's your plan? Wait and see?

A nurse will be by to
take you for that scan.

Well, I hope you know
what you're doing, Ginger.

Connor?

- Hey.
- Hey.

Looks like I need to check into the ER

to spend any time with you.

Claire, I'm sorry, it's just been

really busy around here.

You're avoiding me.

I'm not avoiding you.

It's because of Dad, isn't it?

You hate that I don't hate him.

You're not being fair.

Listen, Mom's suicide, I
know you blame him, but...

But Mom had real problems.

That's not exactly how I remember it.

That's because, believe it or not,

Dad tried to shield us.

He kept us away when Mom
spiraled into a black hole.

You don't remember, but I do.

Call me, Connor... when you're ready.

Noah?

Hey.

What were you doing last night?

Just a little entrepreneurship.

Big market for banana bags...

Noah.

What? It's a legitimate business.

You're not a doctor yet,
you're not supposed to be

sticking needles in people.

Yeah, but I'm gonna be.

This is why we all worked so hard

to send you to medical school?

So you could keep a
bunch of party animals

from getting hangovers?

I'm just trying to
earn a few extra bucks,

only way I can pay you back.

I never asked you to pay me back.

I want to. And what about Mom and Dad?

Oh, so you're just doing
this to help the family?

April, let me do my thing.

You are so full of it.

And you're mad at me?

All right, this is gonna
numb your mouth and throat.

You're still gonna feel some
pressure in your esophagus.

It's the best we can
do without anesthetic.

Hopefully you'll be able
to tolerate the scope.

Mm-hmm. Okay.

Here's this.

Okay, here we go.

You okay?

Slow, deep breaths
through your nose, okay?

Here, squeeze my hand.

Ellie, I'm gonna do
this as fast as I can.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

It's okay.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Nurse Doris is gonna stay with you.

Just give us a second.

Thank you.

I have got to talk to her father.

Mr. Newman, I can't stand
to see your daughter

in this much pain.

I need your permission to
give Ellie pain medication.

I don't tell Ellie what to do.

It's sort of a deal we
have with each other.

I understand, but we just
need to sedate her this once,

so we can perform the endoscopy.

This will not turn her into an addict.

Your daughter is overwhelmed with pain

and depleted from vomiting.

She cannot make the best
decision in this state.

But Ellie's a minor. You are her father.

You can make this decision.

I don't know.

I don't... I don't know.

Ellie needs you to step up,
Mr. Newman, to be her father.

Um...

Okay. Uh, do it.

Do what you have to do, I guess.

Okay, thank you.

Yeah.

Okay, he can't breathe! Help
him, Halstead, help him!

- Sinus tach?
- 133.

- Sat?
- 86.

He threw a pulmonary embolism.

- Embolism? What is that?
- Get oxygen on him.

- Okay, what is going on?
- Need some help in here!

You should have given
him the blood thinners!

Hey, you need to step
out of the room, now.

- My brother, you are killing...
- Reese!

Hey! Hey!

Get a crash cart in here!

Give me the bag.

He's turning blue!

He's too big to lift.
I'm intubating here.

- Come on, hey, breathe.
- 20 of etomidate

- and 100 of sux, now!
- Yes, Doctor.

All right.

Breathe, Andy.

Come on, Andy.

What's he doing?

Okay, I'm in.

Call the MICU and the pulmonary team,

get 'em down here immediately.

What is happening? Why
isn't he breathing?

Clot moved from his leg to his lung.

What did you do to my brother?

Heart rate's up to 130. BP's rising.

I'm afraid she'll have a dysrhythmia.

Push 50 of fentanyl.

No! What's that? No, what's that?

- It's gonna help you.
- No!

- Ellie?
- Wait, no!

Ellie, we have to do this.

It'll help us figure out
what's going on with you.

- No!
- It's okay.

It'll only help.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Nothing?

No.

Maybe her condition is psychological.

Dr. Manning, a quick word?

Yeah.

I understand that you
gave Ellie a narcotic.

The numbing spray wouldn't work.

Sedating her was the only way
we could perform the endoscopy.

Was it worth it?

The endoscopy was inconclusive.

Mm-hmm.

I thought that we concluded
that staying away from narcotics

was this Ellie's top priority.

Yes, but she's a minor.

She wasn't in any condition
to make decisions.

And what condition was
her father in, hmm?

Was he sober when you asked his consent?

She was in so much pain.

It was the right call to make.

I think it might have
felt like the right call

for you, Doctor.

For Ellie, gonna have to wait and see.

Our clients are people who are
desperate to have children.

Ms. Desai is helping a
couple realize that dream.

But her life is in jeopardy.

We... we'd like to
understand the arrangement

your clients have with our patient.

Well, she has graciously
allowed our clients' baby

to develop in her womb.

In turn, they give her a living stipend

for every week she nurtures that child.

She specifically said
she needs the payout.

What's that?

In the spirit of
inspiring a healthy baby,

our clients have promised a bonus

should Ms. Desai carry to term.

That's what she's killing herself for.

Ms. Allen, this contract seems
to be incentivizing our patient

to put her health at risk. Is
there any way to alter this?

How so?

Well, perhaps she would
deliver the baby now

if she knew she was still eligible

for at least a part of that bonus.

Unfortunately, our
clients have stipulated

that they do not wish to
adopt a premature baby.

It's their baby.

According to the law, my clients are

under no obligation to adopt this child.

Wait.

Then who's responsible for this baby?

If the bio parents choose not to adopt,

Ms. Desai is welcome to keep the child

or surrender it to the state.

Welcome to keep it?

Ms. Allen, this contract
seems to protect everyone

but Ms. Desai and that baby.

I'm sorry, but that is the arrangement

she willingly agreed to.

If you have any further questions,

please feel free to call my office.

Uh...

This embolism,

it happened 'cause of you.

She said you were supposed
to give him something,

but you didn't.

I'm telling you, I know your brother.

I saw Jimmy Doyle knock him out cold.

I'm sure that happened more than once.

Andy's too high a risk
for blood thinners.

You made the wrong call,

and now Andy's got
this clot in his lungs.

You're an uppity bastard,

you don't give a rat's ass about us.

Back off, Brian. Back off.

Hey, I want a doctor who
knows what he's doing.

You want a new doctor, is that it?

Yeah.

A good one.

Okay. I'm done.

Noah showed me some selfies
he took with Tate's friends.

I want to strangle him.

Noah or Tate?

Noah. He's hooking these
ballers up with banana bags.

Oh, very enterprising.

Tate's idea?

No, he thought he was
doing Noah a favor,

giving out his card.

Still, what'd I tell you about athletes?

Hey, Noah is what he is.

It's not Tate's fault.

Then what're you mad at him for?

I don't know...

Oh, God, I'm not.

Tate?

Uh... how was his check-up?

Wasn't too bad. I mean,
he cried twice, but...

Did not.

I'm just playing.

Of course not. You're
too brave for that.

Hey, Eric, you mind if I have

a really quick word with your dad?

Take a seat for a second
right over there, hun.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have made this
about you when it wasn't.

It's my brother.

I really did not like what
he was doing at that party.

I get you.

I really like being with you.

I don't want that to stop.

Me either.

Look, I was just helping Noah out

because, hey, that's
your little brother.

But I'll let my guys know, no more.

Uh, no, that's sweet, but
if they want to hire him,

they can go right ahead.

Noah is making his own way,
and I'm done fighting it.

Okay.

Hey, Eric?

How about an ice cream sandwich?
If it's okay with your dad.

I want an ice cream sandwich.

Let's get you an ice cream sandwich.

Yay.

Under flouro we'll get a precise picture

of the clot burden, then we can lyse it.

Let's get him into the elevator.

What's happening?

Dr. Perrington is taking
him to the cath lab

for a clot buster.

If you're right about
Andrew's head traumas,

giving him a clot buster is worse

than giving him blood thinners.

I gave my medical opinion.
The patient and his brother

did not want to listen.

Perrington's an attending.
It's out of my hands now.

Rough day?

Yeah. I just...

What?

I just... I can't
believe what I just did.

I have this teenage patient
who adamantly refused

drugs of any kind because
addiction runs in her family,

and I just convinced
her heroin-addict father

to let me give her pain meds anyway.

What was I thinking?

What?

Well, I hate to say it, but
going against a patient's wishes

because you think you know better

sounds like something
you'd bust my balls for.

What's wrong with this kid anyway?

I wish I knew.

Get away!

That's her.

Dr. Manning!

- Need some help over here.
- I don't want the spiders

- on me.
- It's okay, relax.

Ellie, what's happening?

Please, get the spiders off of me!

- Get me five of Haldol.
- Get them off of me!

- Page Doctor Charles.
- Got you.

- Ellie, there's nothing there.
- No, no, no!

- Ellie!
- Get them off!

No, there's nothing there.

What's going on? Hey!

- Shh, shh, shh, shh.
- Dr. Manning.

- What's going on?
- I don't know.

Okay, okay.

It's okay. It's okay.

It's okay.

Acute stomach pain and vomiting,

but the endoscopy comes back clean.

Then she has a psychotic episode?

You were right.

Never should have
given her the narcotic.

Although that could not have
caused the hallucinations.

I'm at a loss.

I guess this is in your court.

Whatever she's suffering
from must be psychological.

You know, I'm not sure that I agree.

When you scoped her,

you gave her a benzo or an opiate?

Fentanyl.

Huh. An opiate.

Was it effective?

Very. Why?

I got a hunch that the stomach pain

and the psychotic
episode might be related,

and if that's the case,

whole thing would in fact
be entirely physiological.

Will you excuse me for a second?

Sure.

Say, you mind if I ask you
a couple personal questions?

No.

When did you, um, start using drugs?

Wow, um...

Just so you know, only
asking 'cause it might

help us figure out
what's wrong with Ellie.

Near as you can remember,
when did you start using?

Uh...

I'd say high school.

And you experiment with various things,

or go straight to heroin, or?

Oh. Oh.

- Nat?
- Yeah.

I could use your help with a patient.

What is it?

I can't get through to her.

I thought maybe you could talk to her...

as a mother.

Dr. Choi.

Ms. Desai, we can't delay
this delivery any longer.

No, please.

Ms. Desai, I'm Dr. Manning.

I'm sorry you're going through
such a rough time right now.

I know when my water
broke, I was a mess.

I wasn't ready to deliver either.

I told Dr. Choi, I can't
have this baby now.

My boys are counting on me to
keep a roof over their heads.

I understand.

I have a son. I would
do anything for him,

but do you understand what's happening

in your body right now?

The proteins from your placenta
are poisoning your blood,

and at any moment you could
have an eclamptic seizure

that could kill you and this baby.

Ms. Desai, your boys would rather spend

100 Chicago winters in a shelter

than a lifetime without their mother.

Don't orphan them for this money.

Neela, look at me. Look at me, Neela.

Dr. Choi is gonna take you up to OB,

and you are going to deliver this baby.

For your boys.

Okay.

Call OB, tell them we're on our way.

Halstead! Why'd you dump us?

Dump you? You dumped me,

said you wanted another doctor.

So?

So.

Do I look like a doctor?
Who cares what I think?

You're the smartest guy I know.

Listen, I don't know
what it is you want,

but Andy's in good hands
with Dr. Perrington.

She knows what she's doing. Hey.

What happened to that
stand-up kid from high school?

What?

We respected you.

Funny way of showing it.

Hey, no matter how many times
we knocked you on your ass,

you always got back up.
Ginger never stayed down.

I don't care about this other doctor.

I care about my brother. You know him.

God sakes, you even remembered
the fight with Jimmy Doyle.

You said he could get
a... A brain bleed?

And that could kill him, right?

That's right.

Then shouldn't you stop this?

Oxygen looks good. Let's
turn up the propofol.

Let's administer the tPA.

Wait!

What's going on?

I want to make sure
we're giving Mr. Tucker

the proper treatment.

He's no longer your
patient, Dr. Halstead.

He thinks what you're doing
could make his brain bleed.

Excuse me. Your brother's CT was clean

except for old hygromas. That
means the risk is very low.

I grew up with this
patient and seen him take

a lot of hits to the
head over the years.

Those hygromas are
indicative of old subdurals.

He's at a much higher
risk than his CT shows.

We need to implant an IVC
filter to prevent future clots,

but as far as the
current clot's concerned,

I think we should hold off
and let him ride it out.

Dr. Halstead is a resident...
A doctor in training.

I am an attending physician

and a Board Certified
Critical Care Specialist.

I'm telling you, your
brother is perfectly able

to handle this treatment.

He's not.

We're going with Dr. Halstead,

what he says.

All right.

How're you feeling, Ellie?

You gave me drugs.

I'm sorry, I didn't feel
like we had a choice.

And what're these?

You had what we call
a delusional episode.

So I'm going crazy?

No, we actually think that it might be

related to your stomach pain.

Did you change your diet at all

in anticipation of
wearing your prom dress?

Yeah, a little. I...

I just started eating salads at lunch.

Can you remember, your last
attack... a year ago...

Had you also changed your diet then?

I guess, I...

I was going to a volleyball
tournament in Florida,

and I wanted to, you
know, wear a bathing suit.

Why?

We believe you may have
a disease called AIP,

Acute Intermittent Porphyria.

It's a genetic condition that
causes severe stomach pain

along with episodes of psychosis.

Carbohydrates actually help control it,

and we think that your latest flare-up

was probably helped along by
your recent change in diet.

That's what's making me feel like this?

We think so.

Long term, AIP can be
treated and managed.

In the short term, an opiate
will help to ease your pain.

An opiate?

You don't have to worry.

We will carefully manage your dosage.

As long as I don't turn out like my dad.

Ellie, your father helped
lead us to this diagnosis.

Again, it's a genetic condition.

He probably has it and has very likely

been self-medicating all these years.

You mean that that's why he's an addict?

Well, more like a contributing factor.

He probably experienced
the same pain that you did

when he was your age,
and without proper help

or diagnosis, came up with
his own way to treat it.

Baby's in distress.

We've got fetal bradycardia.
It's not getting oxygen.

Almost there.

Baby's apneaic. Suction.

Come on, come on.

She looks good.

Premature but healthy.
Let's get her to the NICU.

Wait.

It's a girl.

Don't you want to see your baby?

I ca... I can't.

- Ms. Desai...
- No.

Take it away.

He's stabilized. Not
as bad as we thought.

Maybe we don't need to
push the clot busters.

You were right.

Just glad he's okay.

Excuse me.

Doctor Halstead.

Just curious, you planning
on applying for a job here

when your residency is complete?

First choice.

I'm on the hiring committee,
and if I were you,

I'd be looking for other hospitals.

What's going on in there?

They look like they're celebrating.

Yeah. We ran a PBG test on Ellie

and confirmed the diagnosis.

We also did one on her
father, and it turns out

he has it too, but he never knew it.

All her life she just
thought he was an addict

who didn't care.

Now she sees it was
just his way of coping.

Any issues?

She was born shy of four pounds

and her lungs are underdeveloped,

but I think two months in
the NICU will plump her up

and get her breathing properly.

That's good to hear.

I'm sorry, but I have
some unfortunate news.

Our clients have pulled out.

What?

They don't feel equipped to
deal with the complications

that come with a premature baby.

This is a healthy baby.

She just needs some extra attention.

I understand.

You know, my heart goes out to Neela...

All she's been through.

But I'm not giving up.

I'm sure we can find
an adventurous couple

willing to take on that
little bundle of joy.

And maybe we can get a little
something for Neela too.

Of course, you'll get a fee as well.

Need to make a quick call, excuse me.

Is this a happy ending?

Dr. Choi, this is as happy
as it's going to get.

Mr. Newman.

- Yeah, hey.
- Hey.

Very excited to hear that
you and your daughter

finally got a diagnosis.

- It's good.
- Yeah, it's great.

Hey, will you step over
into my office here

for a second?

You know, sometimes people
get new perspective,

how they got into a situation,

they reevaluate getting out of it,

you know, and if that were the case,

I just wanted to offer
my assistance, you know?

Kicking heroin is a
tremendous undertaking,

really shouldn't be attempted alone.

Uh, yeah.

You know, I appreciate that. Thank you.

Yeah, I work with these
alternative rehabs, you know,

who use psychoactives like Ibogaine.

They've been having
extraordinary success.

I just... well, you know,
put that on the table.

Yeah, well, you know.

Like I said, I appreciate it, and...

you know, I think I-I think
I got it handled, you know?

So I'm gonna have a smoke.

Okay, man.

- Thank you
- Good luck.

Hey, just...

Just in case, you know?

Great.

Thank you.

How's she doing?

I suggest you stay as far
away from me as possible.

What you're doing may be legal,

but it sure as hell isn't right.

No reputable surrogacy agency

would have ever given
Neela a contract like that.

This is an emotional process.

I can understand you're upset.

Don't you dare patronize me.

What you do... Let's
call it what it is...

Human trafficking.

I don't know, I think that maybe

we should put the caps on
this. I feel like it looks

a little bit incomplete, and maybe

if we bring that one
down here, and yes...

Claire?

Well.

Um... any chance you're free for dinner?

Yeah, I think I can make that work.

Let me just grab my coat.

Leave it to you to find the nearest bar.

Homing instinct.

Let me buy you a drink.

Okay.

What'll you have,

one of those fancy
fresh-squeezed cocktails?

With my med school
loans? I stick to beer.

Another for me.

And the same for my friend.
