Don't worry about scaring our patient to death. You heard

Watson. Molly Jones has long, cute teeth sometimes. Excuse me.

You all are doctors here?

Mm -hmm. I need to talk to you about my daughter, Olivia. Libby. Sorry, sir.

You can take walking.

Her feet are covered in these.

I call them warts. And her fever won't go down.

And no one will help us. Please?

She's eight.

We don't have a pediatrician in the clinic.

But I'm going to give you a name, okay?

Dr. Judd Silversmith.

Just tell him Adam Croft referred you.

I'm just saying, alien hand syndrome is mostly a psychological disorder.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

We finally saw the doctor that you sent us to. Sorry.

I didn't send you anywhere.

You did.

He couldn't help us. And I really need you to see my daughter.

Stevens has a twin brother who works at the clinic.

Sir, we have a screening process.

Yeah, but this can't wait.

Your daughter's name is Olivia Fitzgerald?

Yes. I promised to read her application personally, and if it's timely, we'll

get her in fast.

No, I'm telling you, Mac Bowers isn't 10. She's 30. You're him. You're Dr.

Watson. I'm sorry, sir. I'm working with a patient right now. I read that you're

a veteran. I am, too.

Sergeant William Fitzgerald, 18th EOD Company.

Let me call you back.

It's my daughter, Libby.

She's had these warts, but there's sores now, too, and a fever. She's had this

fever forever.

We really need your help.

Sergeant Fitzgerald. Fitz.

Friends call me Fitz.

Fitz. Look, I'm sorry. I really am working with a patient right now. I'm

actually always working with a patient, but I will look at your daughter's case.

All right? So I'll keep these, and then I'll reach out to you. All right?

Okay.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm fine, sweetheart.

What about you? You ready to go see the doctor?

You really think you don't know what's wrong?

I do, because Dr. Watson's the best. Very best. Everybody says so.

Olivia, honey, whatever happens in there today, you're going to get better.

All right?

Got your beer?

Yeah.

Let's do it.

Enjoy it, Dr. Croft. To the winner go the spoils. I don't want any spoils. I

just want to do my job. My friend Dr.

Bostic calls from the Bankirk Memorial.

She's got a 22 -year -old ballerina with muscle tremors and brain fog, but

nobody knows why.

Sossus, there's this arthritis. I assumed that it was MS, but not you. It

started with the labs.

After some sifting, the patient showed a clear inability to break down protein.

So when this young woman swaps to a low -protein diet, she'll be able to

continue her career as a soloist at the Pittsburgh Ballet.

And guess what?

You get to give her good news in person. I don't need to tell her.

Like I said, I just want to do my job. Your job this morning is the same as my

job. Reflection, recovery, and renewal.

That sounds weird.

Yeah, yeah, I know.

I hired a coach.

Okay, fine. HR suggested that I hire a coach.

She insists that I schedule time for reflection, recovery, and renewal.

You're the best geneticist in the world. You don't need a coach. I don't need

help to be a better doctor.

I need help to be a better person.

Apparently, when one case ends, I have a tendency to reach for the next file

without even bothering to hydrate.

The world never runs out of sick people. Which is why we work. But if all we do

is work, we can never work anymore.

Reflection, recovery, renewal is the antidote to burnout.

Anyway, look, only one of us stands to get Nutcracker tickets out of this. I

don't want Nutcracker tickets. You are going to tell this ballerina that you

cured her, and then you're going to go see the Nutcracker.

Shinwell can drive you to VKMI. I know you caught a ride in a saucer this

morning. Can I say no here?

Oh, it's not a mandate.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no. You can reflect, recover, and renew, or you have the

option to enjoy my foot up your ass.

That doesn't sound very mindful.

I enjoy risk.

Sue me.

Actually, just to be clear, don't really sue me. My court docket's full.

But yeah, you know, I like risk.

That has, on occasion, led to me taking risks with money that was more entrusted

in my care, you know, versus being actually mine.

But, you know, I just assume everybody feels the same.

Risk is good.

Risk is how you get stupid rich.

Are you stupid rich now?

No. My net worth is negative, comically so.

It's just a necessary step.

You know, I'm in the middle of a story that can only end one way.

You're pathetic.

This morning I'm pathetic, but last night I was daddy.

How does that track?

Last night has nothing to do with the real world. It was a cheat day.

Yeah, you can't cheat reality.

Make me regret it. Make me think about it too much. See if it happens again.

In fact, stop following me. I'm not following you. I have an appointment

John Watson.

You have an appointment with Watson?

Yeah. Is that so hard to believe?

No. Of course not.

In fact, I'd love to see this play out.

No offense intended.

Beck, was it?

Beck wife.

No offense, Beck wife.

But according to Watson, today is the day of reflection, recovery, and

Now, why would he take a meeting with you in the middle of that?

Watson didn't mention anything about, uh...

ceremony, I guess, but he did take the appointment.

Ingrid and I know each other. She can vouch. We do know each other?

No vouching.

Are you two friends?

Seems like an easy question.

Vic, why?

You're the guy from the incubator, right?

The very same.

I understand you're up to some kind of retreat or something, but with five

minutes of your time, I can connect you with a kid at CMU who can swap out all

the robotics in your lab for something better and cheaper.

Well, yes, I am intrigued, but I cleared my morning schedule for reflection,

recovery, and renewal.

Dr. Watson.

My daughter's here.

Libby's here for her appointment.

Actually, I have the appointment. The sergeant?

Fitzgerald, right?

Fitz.

People call me Fitz.

I'm Sergeant Fitzgerald, or Fitz.

I read the papers you gave me, and I sent you an email with my best

and a referral.

Do I look like I can afford to travel to Wisconsin?

We need your help now, here, today.

Fitz, you don't have to do it like that.

No, apparently I do.

It's the only way to get your attention.

You're going to help Libby today, and you're going to fix her, or else you and

me and everyone in this room, we all die.

you rejected me.

Everyone here thinks my daughter should just die.

Nobody thinks that. Yeah, of course you do.

You might not be willing to say it out loud, but you think it.

But you're going to see Libby today, and you're going to help her.

You understand?

I do.

Good.

Now, I don't want anybody to freak out. Come again?

You have a bomb strapped to your chest. Don't talk, Beck.

But I need the police to know I'm serious.

So everybody cover your ears.

What was that?

Were there people? That was a smaller version of what I'm wearing.

We got eyes on us now, so let's get started. Cell phones, turn them off. Put

them right here.

Let's move!

I'm keeping your phone, but you can go.

I'm not a doctor. You can't help me. Just another X -Factor.

Hey, look.

I think I'm good here. What? What?

I mean, look, I'm not going to mess with you, man. You're trying to help your

kid. I respect that. You can time me up, whatever. It's just I can help keep the

situation calm here.

It's kind of a gift of mine. What are you talking about?

A man gets off on risking his life.

That's fine by me.

Sit down.

Zip tie his hands and wheel him over to the reception desk.

Quickly.

You. There's sheets in this duffel bag. I want you to use the duct tape. Come

here!

Use the duct tape and cover the windows.

Leave the bag.

Pick up that landline. Dial 911.

Tell them I want the entire fourth floor of U -Hop evacuated immediately except

for the Holmes Clinic. And if they do that, and they leave us alone, I won't

hurt anybody.

Tell me where I can be fixed.

Sergeant Fitzgerald.

You lost your chance to call me Fitz.

This is my daughter's medical file. Starting right now, Libby is your only

patient. Save her, and everybody goes home.

We're evacuating the fourth floor.

Critical patients are being moved to the first floor in case a larger evacuation

becomes necessary.

The hospital is on divert. No incoming patients until further notice.

Keep working.

Stay calm.

You're setting an example for everyone who looks at you.

Let's go, everybody.

We've been trying to reach the clinic. No one's answering.

Get out with the evacuation. You can't go upstairs. You can't go to the clinic.

The man with the bomb vest, I guess, he's in the Holmes Clinic.

He's holding everyone there.

Just go outside.

I'll come get you when I can.

Come on. Come on.

Come on.

Well? I already gave you my best assessment.

No, you blew me off.

No, I referred you to an excellent doctor.

I'm not a pediatrician. No one here is.

Now, if you want our help, we can't do it with just a file. We have to examine

your daughter.

Libby's here. She's in room 410.

We just evacuated that floor.

No, she's still in there. Now put a sign outside the door.

Dr. Lubbock.

Wheel the crazy guy to the entrance and tell me what you see there, please.

What is the matter with you?

Me? Nothing.

I'm here to help.

You realize that guy needs to be taken out.

Be quiet.

And?

There's no one here.

Take one doctor with you.

The walk takes 68 seconds from here to there, and I'll be timing you.

Come on.

We'll be right back.

Wait.

I gotta teach you the knock.

Libby won't open the door unless you do the knock.

I don't feel good.

I'm sorry to hear that.

How long have you had that cough?

Since the summertime.

It's been really bad this week, though.

I suppose he's in a coma.

Has this been like this for a while?

Yeah. I keep on going more at my legs.

When can I see my dad?

I'm right here, sweetheart.

I'm going to see you soon. I'm going to see you as soon as they can figure out

what's going on with you.

These doctors are here to help us, okay?

Does your mother know you're here?

Mom died a few years ago.

I'm going to shine this light into your eyes, okay?

It's all part of our exams.

Miss Agnes, we could be dealing with something neurological.

Yeah, she needs a full neuro exam.

Where's my dad?

We've got to go check in.

Is it okay if Dr. Darien stays here with you?

Okay.

Okay, Libby, let's get you back in bed.

Y 'all don't understand. What is happening here?

Sit there and shut up.

Watson's got this. We have got this.

Darvin Fitzgerald?

Yeah.

Dr. Watson's back.

I'm going to give this blood to Dr. Lubbock. She's going to run some tests.

need to find anything abnormal.

But I need to get history from you. Libby mentioned that her mother died.

What happened there?

With Marla, she got cancer when Libby was five.

I don't know what kind.

You don't know what kind of cancer your kid's mother died from?

We weren't together then.

We weren't together ever, really.

I need to hear that story. In the meantime, Dr. Lubbock, run tests on

Okay. Dr. Croft, find whatever you can about Marla's... Marla what?

Kiesel. Marla Kiesel. Find out whatever you can about Marla Kiesel's medical

history. All right.

I'm going to send members of my team out to your house. They're going to look

and test for... Mold and lead and heavy metals. I know. I've done testing like

that already. Everything comes back fine. All right, great. I'll hold off on

that, but I need some answers from you.

Libby's file doesn't have any records from her early years.

Did she have any complications at birth? Was she a sick kid?

Don't answer that.

I don't know.

Her file also mentions that she has chronic low magnesium.

Was she on supplements?

Yes. Okay, good.

I need to rule out any possible inheritable genetic causes for that. So

take a family history? I can take a blood sample from you?

Sergeant Fitzgerald, if I don't get a blood sample from you... No, you don't

want a sample from me.

Look, I've raised Libby, and I've cared for her, and I've done everything that a

father would supply. I am her father.

I'm just not her biological father.

Her real dad went to all the dice with Marla and me. Scott Morrison.

He's married, but they were having an affair since forever.

Okay, well, if you have an address for him, I can text my team and get us

whatever we need.

She's been in pain since you left.

Labor of breathing, stomach pain.

I was finishing her workup when she started sweating profusely and screaming

agony. Libby, this is Dr. Watson. Can you hear me?

Watson, there's a lot of fluid, but I'm pretty sure that's her spleen.

I can't hear you. Speak louder. Your daughter's spleen ruptured. She needs

emergency surgery.

Do it!

I'm not a surgeon. None of us are.

You have to let a surgical team come in from the outside.

Sergeant Fitzgerald, Libby gets the surgery or she dies.

Are you okay? I've been trying to call you.

I'm fine. Everyone here at the clinic is fine. We have a patient that needs

help. A patient? It's a nine -year -old girl who just had a splinter rupture.

It's the bomber's daughter, Mary. She's the reason why he's doing all of this.

We need a surgeon with some trauma experience.

I'm coming inside. I'll bring a team.

Mary?

I don't know how this is going to end.

That's exactly why I'm coming in.

I lead these people, John. How am I supposed to do that? If I delegate

Something I could do for you? Assuming that you're Scott Morrison.

That absolutely is.

My name's Shinwell Johnson.

I'm a first -year nursing student at U -Hop. U -Hop? Aren't you guys dealing

with a bomb threat right now? Matter of fact, we are. And it's exactly that that

brings Dr. Croft and myself to your door.

We're treating a patient.

A nine -year -old girl who's related to you. We need some information and also a

blood sample. I don't... I don't have any nine -year -old relatives. You have

daughter who's on the operating table as we speak.

Are you talking about Marla's kid?

Because that hasn't been proven.

And there's no way I'm going to let you blow up my life.

Your life is not the only thing we've had to explode today.

People who matter to us are inside that hospital, so give us what we need.

And you can live your life however you like.

Give us one more bit of attitude, and you can enjoy divorce court, Scott

Morrison.

I don't even know that girl.

I just sent Marla some checks to make this whole thing go away.

Olivia.

Your daughter's name is Olivia.

Thank you.

You all came back in.

Patient is nine years old with a ruptured spleen.

We all know what to do here.

We know what happens if...

It doesn't work.

Okay, so there were two blood test results that stood out to me.

Liddy's magnesium is low, despite being on supplements, and she tested positive

for Epstein -Barr. What is that? It's a virus that causes mononucleosis.

It spreads through saliva, your daughter could have gotten it anywhere.

Does that tell us anything?

It could explain why Liddy's spleen ruptured, but I still can't understand

she's been so sick for so long.

Dr. Croft, you got anything?

Libby's mother died from lymphoma. She had her own set of peculiar symptoms

later on in her life. So whatever made Marla sick could have been making Libby

sick, too.

We could be looking at something genetic.

Ingrid's coming back.

Oh, hello?

Is Libby out of surgery?

Almost. It's going well. It's surgery, but if you want my best guess, Libby's

going to wake.

She's going to be stable.

Thank God. Well, we still need a doctor.

We need a surgeon.

Hey,

stay back.

Look, you're good doctors. You really are.

It's a shame it took all this.

If you're waiting for an apology, Sergeant Fitzgerald, you can keep

there.

I see every patient that I can.

I woke up last night at 2 .15 a .m. just to review a file.

I got burnt out so hard that I ran away to England.

I got divorced.

I don't have any kids.

I probably will never have any kids. And now you want to sit here and you want

to tell me that I'm not doing enough?

My daughter needs help. Every patient that comes through that door needs help.

Every patient we see, every patient we can't see, they're sick and they're

scared and they all need help.

I'm sincerely sorry what happened to Libby.

I am.

I tried to help her.

But the truth is, the more people I help, the more people want.

And now you're here.

You're here. Maybe you'll kill me.

Maybe you'll kill all of us for that.

You don't have a kid?

I do.

She's not here yet.

He's not here.

I don't know yet.

Crazy man.

Feels like a balloon's about to pop right.

Like all the blood's about to burst out of your body, yeah?

Fitz, stop. I can't let you kill him. Let me?

Who the hell are you?

You might have C4 strapped to your body, but I'm still not going to stand here

and watch a murder.

I'm not a killer anyway.

Call downstairs.

Tell him I'm releasing a hostage.

Take this man to the elevator and press down.

And if I ever see his face again, nobody's going home today.

Why would you do that?

You mean try and save everybody?

We'd all be home right now if your boss didn't interfere.

I'm a hero.

You're the hot guy from therapy.

She mentioned you, Ingrid. She leaves out details, but I can tell there's

That's you, right?

Beck? The hot guy from therapy? I didn't do anything wrong here today.

Stay away from Ingrid. Stay away from our clinic.

Well, I'm working with Dr. Watson.

No, you're not.

I work with Dr. Watson. You do whatever you do.

I'm a hero.

You're dangerous.

Go downstairs, Beckwise.

Don't ever come back.

We have one hostage coming out.

We're going to find you a medic to get you checked on, all right?

It looks like a bad injury. We need to take a look at it.

You're wounded in your neck. It's very close to your jugular vein.

If we don't treat you, you're going to collapse and bleed out.

Just one button, Doctor. What?

All I got to do is press one button.

Understood.

That is your external jugular.

I'm going to have to tie off that vein.

That open wound is going to be a problem.

You're a military doctor, yeah?

I was.

You still do a whip stitch?

Use the skin to cover it?

weird going on out there. You know what happens here.

I'm not sure I believe you, Sergeant, but I'm going to stitch this wound

You don't think I'll blow this place up? I don't think you're a murderer.

Matter of fact, I know you're not.

You tip your hand with back.

You're here trying to help your daughter.

You're not here to murder anybody.

If you don't think I'd do it, why not just let me bleed out?

Because I've made that choice before.

in my shoes is the same thing as killing.

So even if you took this vest off, I would still fix this wound.

I would still treat Livia because she's my patient now.

I believe you.

You can get that.

Hello? Hey, are you okay?

Hi. Yeah, no, I'm fine.

Adam's okay. Everybody's okay. Hi.

I'll tell Lauren that I talked to you.

God, I wish I was in there with you instead of you.

I know.

But the best thing you could do for us right now is work.

Did y 'all get anything?

Check your email.

We got a blood sample and a medical history from Scott Morrison.

Just sent a screenshot of some recent blood work.

He's healthy.

His kids are, too. No history of cancers, autoimmune diseases, or genetic

conditions. Yeah, there's some bloke, uh, yeah, surrounded by cameras.

He claims he was an hostage as well.

That would be Beck White.

You should ask Ingrid about him. I know him. I don't vouch for him.

Huh. You see that?

Scott Morrison's blood type is AB positive.

But that doesn't make sense.

I believe he should be out of surgery soon.

As soon as she can eat without food for her, what is she like?

Tacos.

No cilantro on them. No, she won't eat them if they got cilantro.

Cilantro? You mean the herb that's famous for having no taste whatsoever?

Liv, you ate today. Daddy, too.

Tastes like soap.

You think my daughter could still have a chance?

We're working as hard as we can.

No, I don't mean today. I mean...

I'll just assume you can help her.

There's only one person that's got a guaranteed bad outcome today, and that's

me. That's her dad.

You know?

Could she still be okay without me?

I don't know.

But if you didn't help her today, she might not be alive. Yeah, but I don't

will she survive.

I mean will she be okay.

I'm going to prison, man.

Or worse.

If there's worse.

She's got an aunt.

Got my sister.

She cares.

You think... You think that's enough?

Can my daughter still have a good life?

And maybe do something that matters, you know?

Something like what you're doing.

Hi, Livvy.

How do you feel, sweetie?

Okay, maybe.

I want to see my dad.

Your dad is working to help you get better.

I'm here with you.

When you can eat, we'll get tacos for you. No cilantro, just like your daddy

told us.

Does that sound good?

It bandages us, so I don't think the lips did just work. We need to get you

surgery. This is urgent. How is she? How's Libby? She is stable, but she's

sick.

Dr. Darien checked her chromosomes as part of the tests we ran.

She found significantly skewed X inactivation. It's like one of her X

chromosomes just turned off.

What does that mean?

It opens up a whole new world of diagnosis.

Any condition which would typically impact only males could be afflicting

We have a potential diagnosis for you, Sergeant.

X -linked immunodeficiency with magnesium defect.

Epstein -Barr virus infection and neoplasia.

X -Men disease.

It's a rare genetic condition.

Doctors have only known about it for the past decade.

But it's chronically low in magnesium, a reaction to Epstein -Barr, even her

mother's lymphoma.

X -Men disease would explain all of it.

X -Men disease.

That doesn't... That doesn't sound real. No, it's real.

It has a treatment for it.

We need to harvest T -cells from her father.

If we can't do that, then Libby doesn't have much hope. Scott Morrison.

I thought I told you. Scott Morrison's blood type is AB positive.

Libby's type O.

It's nearly impossible for Scott to be her father.

What?

Then who the hell is it?

Who's Libby's dad?

You are, Sergeant Fitzgerald.

You're Libby's father.

Cilantro is what made me suspicious.

It tastes disgusting to both of you. Like soap, you said. Well, that's

an inherited trait.

I took a tissue sample when I was stitching up your neck. I compared your

Libby's DNA.

You're HLA compatible.

But I was never with Marla.

Are you sure about that?

Before I deployed, when she came over and we drank a lot of

wine. I can't remember.

You were Libby's father in every way.

Marla told Scott it was him so Libby could have money.

She then sent Libby to you so Libby could have a father.

A real father. You.

She needs T -cells? Yes. And we need your blood to get them. This is urgent.

Okay? Now, we need to take you into surgery. We need to fix that wound.

And we need to draw enough blood to save Libby.

I still... Well, you're going to have to take that off. Charge it.

We're doctors now. You're going to have to trust us.

We're going to draw your blood.

I'm going to take quite a bit.

We'll harvest your T -cells from your blood.

That'll treat her current symptoms of the Epstein -Barr virus.

Then I need to genetically engineer your cells in the lab.

Those cells will replace the genes causing Libby's X -Men disease.

She'll get an IV infusion.

Then we just have to see how she responds.

Daddy, do you feel okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, Olivia, yeah.

I feel like I'm getting better.

Me too.

I'm getting better too.

Yeah? Watch this.

That sounds really good.

That makes me very happy.

Can I hold your hand a little bit?

Of course.

Boy, I love you.

You fill my heart with joy.

You fill my heart with joy, too.

They fixed us. Fixed both of us.

They said you fixed me, Dad.

Well, we... We did it together.

Sweetheart, we did it together.

Can you give your dad a hug, please?

It's over.

Livvy is okay.

John is taking her dad downstairs.

We can all go.

It's over.

You're gonna stop, right?

You're gonna stop sleeping with that guy, Beck?

Who says I'm sleeping with him?

I have met plenty of broken people.

I've never seen anything like that.

You're not safe around him.

He'll hurt you.

He'll hurt anybody.

I understand.

You're right.

Today sucked.

Let's go downstairs.

Can't get these memories out.

What are you doing up here?

I didn't want you having to deal with a mess in the morning, gov.

You don't do all that.

It's been a long day.

You should go home some more.

I can't go home, gov.

I'm too bloody angry.

I bumped into him.

The bomber.

On my way out with Dr. Croft.

me a bad feeling, but I still left.

You helped us with this case, you know.

Oh, Garth.

You was in here with a bomb.

Where was I?

I was out there, standing on the sidelines.

Maybe if I'd stayed.

No, no, there's no use with the what -ifs.

Why don't you try the truth instead?

Today, it was awful.

It was.

But a little girl is on her way to recovery.

And no one died.

I'm not sure, girl.

Scott Morrison's wife might still do him in.

Eh, you can't win them all.

Go home, Sidwell.

Tell you what, I'll take my leave when you do.

What's the matter with you?

Why didn't you leave?

Because I wanted to help.

You wanted to help?

Yeah. Didn't you see the clips?

I stood up to the bomber.

I'm a hero.

How do you feel about putting your life I'm taking

an ultimate rest.
