Please, I need help. This car pulled up and dumped this kid on the sidewalk.

Which room's open?

Jasper, you're up again.

Look at this. This kid's a drug mule.

Is Dr.

Manning with you? No, she's pregnant, actually.

Congratulations. Feels like someone else is always more important. It's only

going to get worse with a new baby. Write a note to Will and see what

Oh, excuse me, ma 'am. I need the balloon to be swallowed. That's not

Easy now. Do you want to die? No, but it doesn't scare me anymore.

Hey! Hey!

Owen!

Duncan Hall dead?

Dr. Holt's dead.

Sorry. What did you say, Ms. Goodwin? Oh, I was just seeing how you're doing.

there anything I can get you?

Dean, what the hell's going on? It's been forever. Okay, we had to resect

multiple sections of bowel and mobilize his colon, but I'm pretty confident that

he won't experience any long -term deficits from those injuries.

Those injuries?

There's more?

The bullet did some damage to his...

Kidneys, unfortunately.

The right one was effectively obliterated.

But the left is okay, though, right?

Well, yes and no.

It seems Owen's got a congenital abnormality called horseshoe kidney.

You aware of that?

No, I was not.

Horseshoe? Yes. Instead of having two discrete kidneys, Owens are connected

I guess you'd say, an isthmus of tissue, common blood supply.

I've already removed the right kidney, and we're trying to ensure that the left

is perfused and functional with the remnant blood supply. So that's where

at. I just wanted to give you an update.

Thank you, Dean. Sure.

Okay, so do we know if Natalie's on her way?

She's on a red -eye, yeah.

Daniel? What are you doing here?

I'm picking you up.

I haven't been able to reach Will yet. I'm taking an update on Owen. Hey, look,

I just talked to Sharon, okay?

Owen's still in surgery, but it's going well. He's still in surgery?

It's Dean, okay? He's in excellent hands. Listen, we're going to get Owen

through this, all right? We're going to make sure that you all get through this.

Call Will.

Is Dean still working on that kid?

Yeah. Must be one hell of a mess.

So how'd it feel, staring down the barrel of a gun?

Only the second time in a year.

Wish I could say I'd gotten used to it.

You ever feel like maybe it's you?

You know, not until you just said that.

Thank you so much. You're welcome.

Meanwhile, man, Lennox, on the other hand, didn't even register.

Like she didn't care if she got shot or not.

She's a combat vet.

They're built different.

Maybe. A couple of MVC Vicks. One is in pretty bad shape. Traumas two and three

are ready to go. Dr. Frost, you with me?

Absolutely.

Julie Wheeler, 32, went through the windshield.

Scout Black with a GCS of three. VPs 150 over 76. Airway secured with an eye

gel. Venus partner got plowed into by an 18 Wheeler.

On my count. One, two, three.

Go get the other intake.

On it.

All right, talk to me, guys. Corey Graham, restrained driver, airbag

GCF at 15.

Heart rate 93, BP 130 over 80, hasn't complained of much pain.

Okay. Transfer on three.

One, two, three.

The truck spurred so suddenly, there was nothing I could do. Hey, Corey, I'm Dr.

Frost. I'm going to take good care of you, okay? Just relax.

How's Junior?

I need to see him. Whoa, we're going to have to have you sit still until we

clear your C -spine, okay?

External rub? No response.

What's going on in there?

I can't see.

He shouldn't be home.

Corey, look, Dr. Lennox is going to take good care of him in there, okay?

I'm right here, baby.

Can you hear me?

You got to tell me you're okay, Julian.

Help him.

I should have just taken him to the game like I promised.

No, Will. You've got to stop blaming yourself.

If Owen doesn't... doesn't pull through, I will never forgive myself.

There you are.

Hi. Hi, Hannah.

Any more updates from Dean? Not since we last spoke.

I'm so sorry.

I need to see my son.

Treatment four.

Guy was found floating in the river, face down.

No name?

No wallet, no ID, no cell phone. First responders thought he might have been

trying to drown himself.

He looks suicidal to you?

Good morning. I'm Dr. Ripley. And what would your name be?

Why am I wet?

Well, you seem to have been floating in the Chicago River.

A bystander helped to fish you out.

That was awfully nice of them. Yes, it was.

Uh, someone mentioned that you were limping. You mind if I take a look at

feet? No.

Great. Uh, scissors and he missed that. Copy.

There you go.

Thank you, Trini.

Bet you haven't changed these in a while.

Don't you look at that?

Mr. Graham?

I assume you've already gleaned that your partner suffered a devastating

to his head and upper spinal cord.

The neurologist examined Julian and the reflexes in his brain stem were absent.

A cerebral perfusion scan has shown no blood flow to the brain.

Meaning what exactly?

Julian is brain dead, Corey.

With no hope of recovery.

I'm very sorry.

Are you two married?

Not officially, but we've been living together almost seven years.

I assume you're his medical surrogate? Oh, he has.

Or had.

Yes.

What happens now? The next step will be for us to... to take off his ventilator

and let nature take its course.

Listen, if you need some time to process all of this, Corey, we don't need to do

this right now. No.

Do this as soon as possible.

Okay.

I suppose I should notify his parents.

They haven't really spoken in the past few years, but decent thing to do,

Hey, I heard you caught a guy with trench foot.

I haven't seen a whole lot of that since like World War I.

Yeah, we didn't find much beyond the trench foot.

Only thing on his exam was a diastolic heart murmur. Had CT and labs are all

normal. Nothing to explain his amnesia on the medical eval.

No look at all ID in the guy?

No. Don't worry, spoke to the police.

No record yet of any missing persons in the vicinity that matches description.

And then, of course, here's the question.

Is he of any danger to himself?

Right. beyond the self -neglect.

Earl Grey, milk and sugar.

Thank you.

Congratulations on the baby.

I know the time isn't necessarily optimal, but I'm very happy for the both

you. Thank you.

I remember when I was pregnant with Owen.

Yeah, during your residency.

Yeah.

It was around this stage of my pregnancy that I found out my husband had been

killed in combat.

Jeffrey.

I remember.

You know, they say this is supposed to be the happiest time in a woman's life.

So why do I feel so cursed?

I'm so sorry.

What is it?

So, uh, we tried our best with the renal reconstruction, but what's left of

Owen's kidney, it's just not functional.

The injury was just too severe.

Oh. They're going to start Owen on dialysis.

Dialysis? For how long? Not long. Just until we can find a donor for

And I'll reach out to Organ Donors of America directly.

And I feel I just must emphasize here that this is by no means a death

Your boy is young and healthy. And as a transplant recipient myself, I can

testify to the long -term prognosis.

It won't take long. I know it.

In fact, Dean, you should HLA test me.

See if I'm a match.

We should reach out to Jeff's family as well. Doesn't he have a cousin that

lives nearby?

Yeah, I'll give her a call.

This is not the way I want to remember you.

I thought we were going to be together forever.

It's you and me, baby.

Remember?

You promised.

You're my sunshine.

I'm going to be so cold without you.

Okay, I'm ready now.

Can I keep holding his hand?

Of course.

Yeah.

Stop!

Wait, wait.

We've been ordered to keep Julian on life support for now.

Ordered by who?

His parents.

To be honest, we are more than a little dismayed that you were in such a hurry

to unplug our son.

I assure you, Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler, Drs. Lennox and Frost were following

standard protocol.

I believe you stated you were his medical surrogate.

I thought I was.

It seems there was some kind of will drawn up when he was a teenager.

He's part of the family trust.

Doesn't change anything in my mind.

We were together.

He wanted me to make these kinds of decisions for him. I guess a judge will

determine that.

Julian is dead.

That's not something you need a judge to decide.

Tricia and I would like to have a moment alone with our son.

Of course. We moved him to the ICU.

I'll show you up there.

Shame on you.

You should have waited.

Hey, Doris, have you seen Dean? I wanted to get an update on Owen.

Uh, yeah.

There's a whole lot of history in there, huh?

You want me to ask him to come step out?

You need to get out of here. Oh, okay.

Oh.

You know, I'm going to head to phlebotomy. Yeah.

And Jeff's cousin, Shereen, said she would help, but she's currently

chemo. So, have you reached out to ODA yet? I'm going to give you guys some

privacy. So, there aren't any matches as of this moment.

At least not in this geographical area.

I'm sorry, Natalie.

I was really hoping I'd be a candidate.

But you just temporized Owen's injuries for now, right, Dean? You didn't close

him up yet. No, not yet. Look, in a perfect world, we'd be able to find him

suitable donor as soon as possible before we close him, and his scar tissue

starts building up.

Now, that said, waiting is more than a viable alternative.

We can med -vac him home, Natalie.

It'd be a lot easier for him to recover there, get him back in his routine.

And what happens if we don't find a donor right away?

Well, after we close him, we'd have to wait at least four months for his scar

tissue to soften, allowing for the best surgical environment for

transplantation. Four months? On dialysis?

That would leave him incredibly vulnerable to infection, right?

That would be a risk.

Not an overwhelming one. No, there's no getting him back to routine, Will.

There's no sports, no swimming. No, he needs a new kidney now.

I will donate one of mine if necessary.

Baby. There is a chance I am a good match, right?

You can't donate an organ right now.

You're pregnant.

That's a non -starter, right? I gotta say, Natalie, as a friend, I strongly

recommend against that.

In a perfect world, Owen received a new organ today.

Your words, not mine.

I'm going to get tested.

In the meantime, let's proceed as if I wore a match.

You know, I'm feeling kind of rude not being able to call you by your name.

Should we just pick out a temporary one, you know, try it on for size?

Okay.

I'm good with whatever.

Oh, come on, man. You better pick. It's your temporary name. The first thing

pops into your head.

No luck?

Hmm.

Okay, maybe you can tell me what you were thinking when you jumped into the

river today.

It's a beautiful day, isn't it?

Sorry, you mean that's what you were thinking then or now?

What?

It's a beautiful day.

If you say so.

No, no, I was just, I was repeating what you said.

How long do you think this might take?

A dissociative fugue stain.

I mean, it tracks the amnesia, the wandering.

But how did somebody even fall into something like that? Did he hit his

This initially needs to be a physical trauma.

So how do you snap him out of it? There's this technique called EMDR. I

about this. Eye movement, desensitization, and reprocessing,

Yep.

Had some success with it, but without knowing what triggered the guy in the

first place, it's like...

Could easily turn into a bit of a goose chase.

You know, still no word from the authorities in terms of IDing this guy?

nothing.

The thing I'm wondering is if him ending up in the Chicago River was not a

random event.

Maybe. Why?

There's this thing that can happen in a fugue state. It's called purposeful

wandering.

If you had to guess, how long would you say that our guy has had trench foot?

Given the skin deterioration on his feet, at least three weeks.

Fit young guy walking through swamp, wetlands, is going to average what,

Distance? Yeah.

Maybe 20, 30 miles a day? So, times a month, it'd be roughly... He might have

traveled up to 1 ,000 miles by now.

Hey, Doris? Yeah? Do me a favor and ask CPD to expand their search a little bit,

would you? I'll draw you a map.

Okay.

Hey.

Sorry to interrupt.

Just have some aftercare instructions for you to go over.

Not sure what I'm supposed to be doing.

Half of me is thinking I should give them some privacy. The other half feels

like I need to be here to protect Julian.

Look, if I'm asking anything too personal, just tell me to mind my own

all right?

But this estrangement between Julian and his parents, it wasn't because of you,

was it?

You mean because we're gay?

You know, they stopped speaking for the most part before I was even in the

picture.

Julian didn't like to talk about it, but it sounded like he had a pretty abusive

childhood, at least emotionally, you know?

I tried to get Julian to reconnect with them, have them over for dinner or

whatever.

I mean, they're his parents, but he just could never really get there.

Excuse me. Yeah.

Hey.

Is everything okay?

It's just really hard to see our baby boy like that.

He was still so young.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

Julian's our only child, and I know that we are partially to blame for the

estrangement over the years.

But we always assumed we'd bridge the gap, you know, someday, repair things,

be part of a family that he'd have now.

And that light before you unplug him.

There's something we want to ask you.

We don't need to ask for permission, Whip. We're his medical surrogates.

Permission to do what?

We want you to retrieve our son's sperm.

Julian never wanted children. And if he ever had...

Any children. The last thing he'd want would be for these monsters to grow them

in a test tube and raise them.

Monsters?

Whip and I had a perfectly healthy relationship with him before you came

him against us. That's the story you're telling?

Yes.

They're lying.

She's lying. Do not speak to my wife that way. Ask them about the padlock

placed on the outside of Julian's door. The outside.

When he was nine, by the way. Okay. All right. Please.

This is not the proper forum for all of this. Heather, will you please escort

Mr. Wheeler's family to the waiting room? I won't be seated anywhere near

man. Separate rooms, please, Heather.

Please.

Dr. Lennox, medically speaking and given the condition of the patient, is sperm

retrieval even possible?

Technically, yes.

It's typically accomplished through edidimal aspiration or testicular

course, time is a factor.

Okay, so tomorrow, for example, might be too late?

Most likely.

Oh, I'm sorry. Am I really the only one here that thinks this is just super

grave robbery?

That was the court clerk.

The judge won't be able to rule on this until tomorrow, but they're asking us to

err on the side of prudence.

Go ahead and perform the retrieval. What?

We're really considering this right now.

Julian is on record as not wanting to procreate. The courts will determine

whether the parents can use it for artificial insemination.

Thankfully, the onus is not going to be on us to make that call. Maybe it should

be, huh?

All right, that's enough, Dr. Frost.

I could have someone in urology do this if you'd like. No, no, no.

We'll handle it.

So it looks like you and our happy wanderer have something in common.

His name's Daniel, too. Daniel Hazuri. Lieutenant Daniel Hazuri, to be exact.

Age 26.

Reported missing a little over a month ago from Naval Air Station Pensacola.

Approximately 916 miles from here.

Huh.

Wow. Top gun candidate.

Third generation aviator, it seems.

Father was KIA in the Gulf about 20 years ago.

That's odd. I didn't think they let you fly jets with a diastolic murmur.

Check him out with Pop. He was a cute little tyke. I pulled that off his

Facebook.

Okay, now that's interesting.

Look at where this picture was taken.

Huh. The Chicago River.

I think we can start to safely hypothesize that his

journey here was not completely random.

You think you got enough to snap him out of his fugue state?

I am not seeing anything that would disqualify you from donating per se.

you and your baby are in fine health. Like I just said, I literally had a

prenatal checkup three days ago.

What about her blood pressure? You said earlier it was elevated.

Slightly, yes, but still within normal range.

But the kidneys are integral in keeping that in check, though. I mean, we still

have a long way to go until delivery.

Preeclampsia is always a risk, yes.

Pregnancy is rough on the kidneys as is, never mind the added stress of removing

one midterm.

Well, Shirley, you've delivered babies from women with one kidney before?

Yes, of course.

But nothing in the literature has anybody that has purposefully removed

midterm. Well, I guess this will be one for the journals then.

You can thank me later when you get published.

Natalie, she's just laying out all the risks. No, she's taking your side,

providing you with enough coverage to try to talk me out of this.

So pardon me if I opt to discount the opinion of the woman you used to sleep

with.

Why don't I give you two surprises?

That was unwarranted and cruel.

I could say the same about you.

Are you serious?

Your unwillingness to have my back is really pissing me off. That's not fair,

Natalie. I always have your back and you know it. If you just took him to the

game like you promised.

I would do anything to walk this whole thing back.

Anything except let me give him one of my two kidneys.

Tell the truth.

You were hoping I wouldn't be a match.

No, please.

No, Will.

I feel like you are prioritizing your own child's life over Owen's. And that

breaks my heart.

Let Dean know I want to start the procedure as soon as possible.

Much like you learn how to not touch a hot stove because you're going to burn

your hand, your mind can learn how to repress certain memories if they're too

unpleasant, right?

And that can cause your brain to do all kinds of interesting things.

In your case, Lieutenant, I think that it caused you to fully disassociate and

fall into what we call a fugue state.

Why is that funny?

I'm just curious. Okay, if it is, I'm just curious why you're laughing. You

called me Lieutenant.

That's so ridiculous.

Well, you might think so now, but this dashing young fighter pilot,

that's you.

So, what is... This.

It's a digital stethoscope.

It's just like a regular one, but this one we can Bluetooth.

Yeah. I can hear your heartbeat here. Let me just turn it up a little bit.

What we're trying to do here is reprocess your memory circuits by

unexpected stimuli and hoping to, I don't know, press a reset button that

allow you to access your memories.

You want to give it a shot?

Sure.

How about you cross your arms like this, right hand on the left shoulder, left

hand on the right, and just close your eyes and start tapping gently.

Like this?

Yeah.

Did you turn up the sound of my heart beating? I did.

I can hear a little whoosh now between the beats. That's your heart murmur. Did

you know you had one?

Keep tapping.

Your name is...

Daniel Hazuri, and you fly jets.

If you say so.

Your name is Lieutenant Daniel Hazuri.

You have a heart murmur.

If you say so.

Your name is Lieutenant Hazuri.

You have a heart murmur, and you fly jets.

No, I don't.

What did you say?

I don't fly jets.

They found a heart murmur at my last physical.

Just an innocent one, they said.

But how innocent could it be if they were forced to clip my wings?

What happened to my feet?

Where the hell am I?

Dean asked if I would assist in your nephrectomy.

If you'd feel more comfortable with another OBGYN, though, I completely

understand.

Maybe that would be for the best.

Okay. Dr.

Pachewski's on call. She's excellent, as you know.

So I will go and bring her up to speed.

You think I'm making a mistake, don't you?

This is a hard choice to make, I know.

I don't envy you.

Well, that's the thing.

It's not that hard a choice, because I don't really have one.

I may look like I do, but I just can't watch my boys suffer.

So there you go.

You'll see soon enough how far along a few weeks behind you.

Congratulations. Thank you.

I'd be lying if I didn't say it's complicated.

What is it?

The truth is, part of me is sure I'm doing the wrong thing here.

I mean, I love Will.

He is such a good father to Owen.

I don't tell him that enough.

I know he wants this baby.

I do too.

And yet I'm...

Putting this pregnancy in jeopardy.

Frankly, I'm terrified.

Am I doing the right thing?

Everything is going to be okay.

You wouldn't be doing this if you didn't think so.

I do not.

Hey, Doris found this in the doctor's lounge. It's Owens, yeah?

Thanks.

You don't think I'm prioritizing the baby's health over Owens, do you?

Well, come on.

I mean, I'd like to think I'm above having those kind of thoughts, but like

told you yesterday, Owens has been kind of hating on me for a while now.

Who knows how the subconscious works? Maybe this is some kind of weird

retaliation on my part.

Well... Don't do this to yourself. I know for certain that Owen does not hate

you. Not even close.

Ms. Goodwin, that's nice of you to say, but how could you really know?

Look, I gave him a notebook yesterday.

You told me that the two of you have been having trouble communicating, so I

encouraged him to express his feelings on paper.

He wrote something to you already.

Yeah.

And trust me, I would not have looked at it if all of this hadn't happened.

But under the circumstances, I think maybe you should read it now.

I know I've been a pain today.

I just really wanted to see the Bears play and thought maybe it would make me

feel better because I guess I'm nervous about getting a new little brother and

I'm afraid you will love him more than me and I won't ever be able to get you

back at my dad.

He's never called me dad before.

So we're seriously just going through with this? You need to stop already,

Jonathan. We are doctors. We're not Supreme Court justices. No one

you to sit in judgment on other people's character. Don't give me that right

now. Come on.

You know as well as I do that these parents, the Wheelers, they're no good.

The privilege, the sense of entitlement, the way that they trample over

everything that gets in their way. I mean, doing this for their son right

They've never done anything for anyone in their... Watch your voice.

Someone has to call him out.

Mm -hmm.

Well, if you say anything, you better buy yourself a shovel because you'll be

working the graveyard shift from here on out.

Oh, glad we caught you.

Whip and I were just speaking with a reproductive specialist at Northwestern.

Wow. That's fast.

You guys have him on, like, speed dial?

No. A family friend recommended him. Of course. Anyway, he had very specific

instructions he wanted us to follow to ensure that Julian's spermatozoa is as

viable as possible so we can best honor our son.

Honor your son?

Yes.

I think we should cut the charade.

Excuse me? You're not doing this for your son. You don't know what he wanted

more than I do. And if you do, you don't care.

Otherwise, you might have made an effort to be part of his life. So let's just

be honest about what he is to you in this moment. A clinically dead body?

Whose DNA you want?

I don't want you or Dr.

Frost here having anything more to do with this procedure.

We will be speaking to your supervisor.

Whip. Got into you.

Okay. Cut vascular control.

Clamp and cut the last part of the renal artery.

Start the clock on this organ's viability.

I'm detecting fetal decels.

How much longer is this going to take? The baby could be compressing her IVC in

this position.

Five, maybe ten minutes? No, no, no, no. The baby won't survive that. We need to

get mom out of the lateral position and onto her back. A little up on the left

if you can. That's not possible. We already triangulated the trocar. It'd

us another half hour to reset our field of detection.

We don't have a half hour. We'd be putting the organ itself in jeopardy. We

might as well have not even started this. It's all right.

I'm doing the math. I'm doing the math.

So what if we moved her to a 45 -degree angle? Would that relieve enough

pressure on the vena cava?

Let's try. Why is any of this even a consideration when the fetus is

Because it is, Marty, it is, all right? So just let's rotate her down to 45

degrees right now. Come on, let's go.

Marty, step on it, please.

Careful.

Got her?

We'll be in touch.

We should contact Mr. Graham, tell him that we'll be taking Julian off life

support as soon as he's ready.

So you were able to retrieve a sample?

What happens to it now?

Well, it'll be stored here in escrow, so to speak, until the court can make a

decision. And just...

So both of you are aware the odds are stacked dramatically against

in cases like this.

There's a little chance they're going to win. So it's a good thing the judge

didn't witness your little outburst, Dr. Lennox. It might have made those ghouls

seem more sympathetic.

I apologize, Ms. Goodwin. My behavior was completely uncalled for.

Yeah, well, look, if either of you ever have any moral qualms, just tell me.

We can make accommodations.

Um, I'm sorry for being a hypocrite today.

Are you kidding?

I was in awe.

That said, you haven't really seemed like yourself recently.

Is everything cool?

Yeah, everything's cool.

Okay.

You know, if you ever...

I wanted to talk. Good night, Dr. Frost.

Good night.

There you are. Hey, baby.

How's Owen?

Did the transplant take?

So far, so good. He's recovering now.

Yeah, they think they'll be able to take him off dialysis completely in a couple

days. That's wonderful.

Thank you, Dean.

And the baby?

Well, we had a brief moment of concern, but thanks to Dr. Asher, your pregnancy

is viable and thriving.

Thank you both.

Honey, I'm so proud of you. You were. You were amazing.

I was worried you wouldn't be here when I woke up.

Are you kidding?

You can't get rid of me that easy.

I'm so sorry about what I said earlier.

I know how you feel about Owen.

We were both so lucky to have you.

Oh, you know, I'm the lucky one.

Speaking of Owen, there's something I'd like to talk to you about.

The funny thing is, I don't... have any memory of ever being in Chicago before.

I barely remember my father.

This picture is pretty much the only one I have of the two of us together.

He died when you were pretty young, right?

Yeah.

All I ever wanted to do with my life was to live up to his legacy.

Make him proud.

Feels like that's not going to be possible anymore.

Wait.

How do you know?

You had your whole life ahead of you.

We were able to contact your base commander, and he's going to send

tomorrow to take you back to Pensacola.

I'm not sure I have anything worth going back to.

I don't know, Doc.

Being in that fugue state sounds pretty good right now.

Everyone's talking about how amazed they are by your recuperative powers.

They think you might be part Wolverine.

I wish.

Oh, I almost forgot. The Bears won yesterday, in case you were wondering.

Cool. How's Mom doing?

She's doing great.

Yeah, in fact, they're getting her ready to wheel over here to see an event.

What's up, pal?

You seem sad.

I just really wish Mom didn't have to do this for me.

At least not with how she's feeling.

You mean with her being pregnant?

I know you've been worried about that a lot recently.

You read that?

I'm sorry I violated your privacy, but yeah, I already read it.

Do you remember what you wrote?

Well, I wrote you a little something on the next page.

If you want to read it.

Hey, do me a favor, read it out loud.

Okay.

Dear Owen, no one will ever take your place in my heart.

In fact, I spoke with your mom.

And I'd like to adopt you legally as my son.

Is that something you might want as well?
