All language subtitles for Carols Second Act s01e11_English

316 is stable,
405 was discharged,
no one pushed

an ultrasound machine
down the stairs...

That was one time,
and it was an accident.

So it looks like you guys
might actually get out on time.

Yes! Caleb got
us an invite

to go drinking with
the OB-GYN interns.

You can imagine
the possibilities.

Well, I'm leaving
this conversation.

This is great news-- I'll be
able to make my date with Jenny.

It's finally happening.Mm.

What's finally happening?

Yeah, Daniel, what's
finally happening tonight?

Um, I'm... finally going
to a basketball game.

I've never been.[gasps]

Really? Oh, it's fun!

You drink beer and try
to get on the jumbotron.

Ooh, you should do
the floss.

It's really in
right now.

Yep, that's exactly
how you do that.

Thank you.

So, you going
with friends?

Yeah, yeah, an
old college buddy.

Steve.

Tall. Big beard.

[chuckles]:
Carol, however big you're
picturing this beard,

I promise you,
it's bigger.

You know me well, Daniel.

I was picturing
a small beard.

DENNIS:
Hey, guys?

You might want to cool it
on the evening plans.

I just got a call
from the ER.

Jake's on his way up.

[frustrated groans]

No! He always does this.

Just as we start to think
we're gonna have an early night,

Bad News Jake shows up
with a buzzer-beater patient

and we're here
for an extra two hours.[elevator bell dings]

Be nice to Jake.
He's just doing his job.

Hey, Jake!Uh-huh.

Aw.

How's our favorite ER doctor?

ALL [flatly]:
Hey, Jake.

You don't have to do that.

I know no one likes me.

Even my dog
looks disappointed
when I get home.

Just a heads-up-- I'm
sending up a patient,

24-year-old female with
sepsis due to a UTI.

When you evaluate her, see if
you think she'll need the ICU.

I could take her, but then I'd
have to miss my basketball game.

Oh, don't do that.

You haven't been.

Yeah, send her up.

I'll admit
the patient.JAKE: Thanks.

No. Thank you, Jake,
for all your hard work.

Oh, no problem.

It's all I have.

All right,
bye, everyone.

Dr. Gilani.

Okay.

Bye, Jake.

Always great to see you.

[sighs]

That's the size of beard
I was picturing.

♪

[beep]

I'm glad you decided
to come in, Amanda.

People don't take
UTIs seriously.

But nobodycan stop talking
about gluten.

I can't believe
I let it get this bad.

My roommates just told me
to drink cranberry juice.

Your roommates
don't sound like doctors.

One of them teaches hot yoga,
and one of them's a witch.

You'd think a witch would
come up with something better

than cranberry juice.

She's not a great witch.

Well,

you're stable at the moment,
but I think you would benefit

from a little closer
observation,

so I asked Nurse Dennis
to call up

and have you transferred
to the ICU.

Uh, Dr. Kenney?Mm-hmm?

Can I have a minute?Sure.

Bad news.

I spoke to Dr. Mehta
in the ICU.

She won't accept
your patient.

She said they
don't have space.

Well, that's weird,

'cause we took one
of their patients this morning.

Maybe they got
some more admits from the ER.

Or maybe she's blocking.

Blocking? What's blocking?

Blocking is when
doctors try

to keep a patient
out of their ward

because they want
to avoid the work.

That's a person in there,
not an extra unit of work.

I don't believe that our ICU
is capable of blocking.

It's in their name--
not only do they care,

they care intensively.

And I'm telling you,
blocking is real.

Really real.

Friday... at 5:00,

Carol, it is block o'clock.

I'm gonna talk to Dr. Mehta.

There must be
some miscommunication.

I'm really happy
we're finally doing this.

It was worth the wait.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Okay, it's a big restaurant.

He probably won't even see us.

Hello, you two.

[both]:
Oh, hey, Dr. Frost!

I love this place.

Yep.

It is cozy. Mmm.

Um, I'm waiting
for a friend,

but I brought a book...
so don't mind me.

Fun fact for the future:

this place

is very popular
with senior doctors.

Well, I'm glad I know that.

Yeah.

Now.

[elevator bell dings]

Hi. I'm looking

for Dr. Mehta.

You found her.

Oh.

Oh. Cute earrings.Oh, thank you.

Family heirloom.

I stole them from my
ex-husband's mother.

Can't beat thatprice.

[both laugh]

How can I help you?Well, I'm Dr. Kenney.

I called about a patient.
You refused to accept
the transfer.

Female, 24, septic.

Oh, yes, I remember.

She was hypotensive
but saturating well on room air.

In my opinion, she doesn't
require intensive care.Yeah, well,

in my opinion, the way
she's trending concerns me.

Well, she's still borderline.
Have you given her more fluids?

Yes, of course. And I know
I'm just an intern...

I'm sorry.

You're an intern?

[chuckles]:
Yeah.

I know. I look a little older
than your average intern.

You look decades older.

Which is why I thought
you were an attending.

And normally,
an intern wouldn't have

the audacity to come up here
and argue with me.

Well, I'll take that
as a compliment.

Well, don't.Well, I already did.
Thank you.

We're full. We don't have
any beds to spare.

Now, why don't you get
on that elevator

and hippity-hop
back down to your patient

like a good little intern.

"Hippity-hop"?

Yes. Boop, boop, boop.
Off you go.

What if he tells someone
he saw us on a date?

Should we ask him
to keep it quiet?

[quietly]:
Hey.

[louder]:
Dr. Frost?

Your secret is safe with me.

Wait, how did you know
what we were gonna say?

I was in my 20s once.

Also, we're sitting
two feet apart,

and the music's not very loud.

Well, thanks
for being so cool.[chuckles]

You'll have more privacy

once my colleague
shows up.

He was so nice.

Should we invite him
to sit with us?

At least until
his friend gets here?

You're sweet. Do you
want to tell him, or me?

No, you go ahead.

Well, it was
your nice idea.

I'd be delighted.

Dr. Jacobs.

Oh, no.
This feels like a thing.

Dr. Jacobs,
it weighs heavily on my heart

to levy an accusation
such as this.

But I believe
that Dr. Mehta

is putting her own workload
over the welfare of my patient.

I don't know if you're familiar
with this term,

but she is blocking.

I know Dr. Mehta.

We were in the same
intern class.

And that is
a serious accusation.

I doubt that it's true.

But when I went to speak
with her, she...

You did what?
Interns do not go over

their chief resident's heads
and run around the hospital

questioning other
doctors' decisions.

Of course. I would
never question her.

I just asked her
some questions.

If Dr. Mehta refused to admit,
I'm sure she had her reasons.

Well...

she did say there
weren't any beds.

Well, that strikes me as
a good reason, Dr. Kenney.

You need to apologize
to Dr. Mehta.

Okay. I have
some very nice stationery,

and I will write her...

In person!

Hi. I'm, uh,
looking for Dr. Mehta.

She just left for dinner.

Would you like to
leave a message?
Yes.

Tell her Dr. Kenney sends
her apologies.

I'll follow up with a note.

I have some
very nice stationery,

but nobody seems to care.

Okay.

Is that a spare bed?

There are two free beds in here.

What is this, a mattress store?

The ICU isn't full!

No. We have lots of beds.

[gasps]

Okay, then.

Well, I'd like to make a little
amendment to my message.

No message. Tell her
I apologize for nothing!

Who are you?

[sighs]

Well, the rumors are true.
There are beds everywhere.

Dr. Mehta is blocking.

[gasps]:
Oh, it is on.

No one doc-blocks Carol.

Oh.

Ooh, are you gonna tell
Dr. Jacobs?

I already talked to
her, and she told me

I'm not supposed to
question another doctor.

So what,
y-you're giving up?

My hands are tied.
How can we even do our jobs

when the priority isn't
the patient?

What's the point
of even being a doctor?

DENNIS:
But, Carol,

never giving up,
seeing the best in people,

even when it's sort of annoying
is your whole thing.

Yeah, you're always willing
to do something crazy

to do what's right.

I am, aren't I?

And that's why you're part
of the Greatest Generation.

I am not part
of the Greatest Generation.

Aw, don't put yourself down.

How old do you
people think I am?!

Even today, Dr. Mehta thought
I was a senior attending.

Wait.

[gasps softly]

I have an idea.

Now, I wasn't sure
if the Heimlich maneuver

would work on a dog,

but...

that meatball shot
out of Barney's mouth

like a T-shirt out of a cannon!

[laughter][phone vibrating]

Oh. Looks like Darnton

won't be able
to make it to dinner.

Darnton as in
Dr. Andrew Darnton?

He's my medical hero.

FROST:
I didn't know you

were interested
in cardiology, Dr. Kutcher.

That's what I want to specialize
in after I finish my residency.

Oh, well, I'm meeting Darnton
at the hospital

for a cigar on the roof.

He's gonna tell me
all about the surgery.

It took him 18 hours,
and he sweated his way

through his lucky
Yankee scrub cap.

I follow him on Twitter.

I'm kind of a Darnton-head.

[chuckles]

You should join us.

Oh, my God, really?

FROST:
What am I saying?

I've already taken up
too much of your time.

Oh. Right. Of course.
[chuckles]

No, not to worry.

He passes through here
every decade or so.

You two have fun.

Oh, and dessert's on me.

Try the soufflé.

It's like a kiss
from a chocolate angel.

Mwah.

[chuckles]:
Wow.

He's on his way
to see Andrew Darnton.

Can you believe it?

I mean, yeah.

But I didn't know
who he was to begin with,

so...
[chuckles]

You don't know the man
who perfected

the endoscopic coronary
artery bypass

and has two labradoodles
named Chamber and Valve?

Again, Darnton-head.

[both chuckle]

Daniel, do you want
to go meet him?

What?

No way.
We're finally having our date.

Okay.

Because it kind of feels
like you maybe want to go.

Come on. You heard Frost.

I'll get a chance to meet him
in another decade.

All I'm saying is,

if you want to go to the roof,
then...

you should.

But what about
our date?

[chuckles] We've rescheduled,
like, six times already.

We can do it again.

This seems like a really big
opportunity for you.

You should go.

Thank you so much
for understanding.

You are the best.

Can I help you?Yeah, um,

I'll take the soufflé.

And a side of two more beers.

[sighs, clears throat]

Hey.

Yeah, you.

[exhales]

I have a patient that needs
to be admitted to the ICU,

and there seems to be
some sort of a problem.

Are you that
problem, Meghan?

I'm sorry, is
it "Mee-ghan"?

Yes. Meghan.

It's a lovely name.
[chuckles softly]

But I'm a senior attending, so
I'll say it whatever way I want.

This patient needs to be
admitted immediately.

Oh. Dr. Mehta is gone
for the night.

I could page her.

Dr. Mehta?

I outrank Mehta by
a mile and a half.

This patient's
life is at risk.

So I'm not asking for your
permission or for Dr. Mehta's.

And you said
you're an attending?

I did.

Because I am.

Can I see your I.D.?

It's just,
I don't recognize you.

I don't have time
to show you my I.D.

I have a patient
who needs help.

Dr. Kenney, is
there a problem?

Actually,
if you can believe it,

this intern is questioning
the fact that I'm an attending.

Huh.

Well, you're one of the
most respected attendings

in the wholehospital.

What does she think, you're
some sort of 60-year-old intern?

Early to mid-50s,

but, yeah, ridiculous.

I'm so sorry.
I'll go initiate the order.

[whispers]:
Thank you so much.

Please.

This ICU's Block City.

It's nice to have someone
who always tries to do

the right thing
for her patient.

Besides, you're
always nice to me.

Aw, Jake,
that means a lot.

You're my best
friend, Carol.

Well, I owe you one.

Really?

Not to cash in the
favor immediately,

but any chance you could put in
a word for me with Dr. Gilani?

Like, romantically?

Oh, Jake.

You don't make things easy
for yourself, do you?

And that's when
the anesthesiologist turns to me

and says, "Darnton,
that's not a mitral valve!"

[laughter]

Long story short,
don't operate in Moscow.

No.[laughter]

It's an incredible story, sir.

Oh, you'll have 'em
someday, too.

Mm.If you're up here with Frost,

you have what it takes.Mm.

That means a lot
coming from you.

I'm actually a little surprised
to see you up here, Dr. Kutcher.

Looked like you were having a
very nice time with Ms. Kenney.

I was.
But she totally got

that joining you was
a real opportunity for me.

She was very cool about it.

It's all good.

[both laughing]

What did she say
when you dropped her off?

Uh, I, um...

[stammers]
I left her at the restaurant.

You said to try the soufflé.

Try it, not eat
it by herself

like a sad accountant on
her first trip to Europe.

How long have you two
been together?

It was a first date.

Yeah, we've been trying
for a while,

but we keep postponing
because of my work schedule.

I shouldn't have come here,
should I?

Well, that depends
on what you want.

You can prioritize
your career,

but you can't expect
someone else to stick around

if they're
always coming in second.

Take it from two men who have
been divorced three times.

But i-it's possible
to have both, right?

[both laughing]

Well, I think so,

but I haven't
managed it yet.

I think I should go.

Were we ever that young?

Hey. You got my text.

Thank you for waiting.

Oh, don't thank me.

Thank the soufflé that took
30 minutes to come out.

I am so sorry.

I shouldn't have left.
But I'm back.

Can we finish our night?

Daniel,

it is finished.

Look, Jenny, I-I
know I messed up.

No. No, you didn't.

Your career
is important to you,

and it should be.

You're just starting out.

That's why I told you to go.

But I don't want to just
be all about my career.

Okay, but... you're
gonna have to keep making

that choice over and over,
and, honestly,

I don't want
that pressure on me.

So that's it?

Maybe now just isn't our time.

I don't want to spend my Friday
nights eating a soufflé

and two beers by myself.

[sighs] I mean,
I do, but, like,

at home, on the couch,
like a normal person.

Can I, uh, get
you another beer?

Oh, no.

It's tequila time.

Amanda's
in the ICU now.

Safest place for her.

And justice
is restored.

[laughs]Whoo!

Someone get this
lady a jumbotron!

Ooh, boy.

Let's hide.

Let's watch.

I hope you know where to buy
a bunch of tiny water bottles,

'cause you'll be driving an Uber
by the end of the day.

Well, I would be
a great driver,

because I would take
every passenger.

You'd be blocking every request
and driving around by yourself,

listening to music
and vaping.

MAYA:
Dr. Mehta.

What brings you
down here?

Your intern impersonated
a senior attending

to trick one of my doctors into
accepting a borderline patient.

Dr. Kenney, is this true?

Yes. A-And it worked.

Amanda's in the ICU,
where she belongs.

She's in the ICU?

But I thought the ICU
didn't have any beds.

That's not the point.

I'm gonna run this issue

up the hospital chain
of command and make sure

that Dr. Kenney is
severely reprimanded.

You could, but then I would
have to inform everyone

that you blocked.

Oh, my God,
she's on Carol's side.

Dr. Mehta, my intern
may have skirted the rules,

but she did so
with the best of intentions.

Can you say the same thing?

Oh, boy. Here we go.

St. Maya.

Oh, boy. Here we go.

Half-Assed Hanita.

[scoffs]
Excuse me?

You were a half-ass intern,
a half-ass med student

and a less than half-ass
study group member.

And she's rude.
Tell her she's rude.

I was giving you
the benefit of the doubt

as a professional courtesy.

Clearly, that was a mistake.

I should have listened
to my intern.

Now, this is myfloor.

Would you mind
returning to yours?

Boop, boop, boop!

That was incredible.

Oh, thank you for
having my back.

Dr. Kenney, some people think
the ends justify the means...

There's my girl! Same page!

No. No.

Different pages,
different books.

[chuckles]

You're a doctor,
not a vigilante.

Impersonating an attending
is a serious offense

with serious consequences.

Um, I don't know
what they are,

because this
has never happened before.

[chuckles]
So, for now,

I'll leave you
with a stern warning

to stay in your lane.

But...

...never stop advocating
for your patients.

You were right. Amanda
crashed in the ICU,

but, because
she was there,

they were able to
treat her successfully.

She's gotten
so much better,

they're going to transfer
her back to us today.

Oh, that is great news
about Amanda.

And about me
being right.[elevator bell dings]

Oh!

Dr. Mehta, you don't usually
bring patients down yourself.

No, I don't.

But Amanda had something
she wanted to say.

Dr. Kenney, I can't
thank you enough.

For sending me
to Dr. Mehta.

She saved my life.

Oh. Amanda!

[exhales] I told her
to leave me out of it.

Just doing my job.

Bye, ladies.

She's the worst.

Her boyfriend tried
to kiss me once.[gasps]

Really?

You didn't hear it from me.

You can't leave me on that!
