Please tell me you did not leak Theo's files to save my job. Taking this deal

means you're going to pursue employment elsewhere from Gaffney. You want me

gone. I still can't figure out why.

Please don't take Miranda's deal.

I leaked the medical file.

I see how it is easy for you to cast me as the enemy in your internal drama.

Sloan, you cut multiple shifts just to save pennies. Everyone resists change.

You miss Sharon Goodwin.

Oh, Sharon Goodwin's coming back.

I thought sharing a shower was about saving time. You said, and I quote, all

business. Well, the gift has a lot of meaning.

Yeah? Can I get in there to brush my teeth?

Can you wait?

I need a minute.

What?

All right, all right, I'm coming.

Hey, man. Here you go.

Do you have a girl in there?

Well, what's with all the questions?

Look, when Naomi got that fellowship in Portland and dumped you... Easy.

Mutual breakup? Sure, go ahead. I was there for you, and I have been nothing

but supportive as you've, you know, gotten back on the horse or the whole

herd the past couple of months.

It feels like there's a button coming.

You're taking some liberties with the roommate code.

No, that's that's fair and I understand and I will do better after

this morning Yeah,

okay, so she's got a change of clothes in the bag and I pumped

this morning which is in the cooler you brought

Also, she likes to be burped on her left side. Sometimes it takes a little bit. I

promise. I got her. And daycare is great for little tykes. It gets them these two

faces. Yeah, yeah. No, I've read the literature, Trident.

It's just I'm handing my heart to a stranger, and I don't want Mabel to feel

abandoned. She's going to be fine. A little independence is going to be good

for her. Right, yeah.

I got you. I got you.

It's OK. Yes.

Why are you so calm?

I'm not.

I'm pretending for you.

Dr. Archer.

Oh, good luck with that.

Thanks. Bye. Bye.

Hi. So glad I ran into you.

Okay. What's up?

Well, I wanted to let you know that I'm shifting some resources to create a

dozen new beds.

More people will be admitted faster, which should clear up some space in the

ED.

Oh, okay.

Uh, that sounds really great. Thank you.

We're a team, right?

Right.

I knew what Miranda was trying to do to Dr. Charles.

We all did.

And I felt angry and helpless.

Yeah, I know that feeling.

Then I went to your office to drop off the staffing report.

You weren't there.

But I happened to see dr. Rabari's name on your computer his medical records

I Made a snap decision I printed them

out and I anonymously sent them to Miranda Send how an envelope I left in

the boardroom

Look, I thought that I was saving Dr. Charles. I had no idea that they would

come after you like this, and now they're trying to offer you a deal,

wanting to push you out over something that I did? I can't just let that

happen. Doris, Doris, I was the one who asked for the files. This is on me, too.

But you didn't make me send them.

I'm gonna tell Miranda the truth.

I leaked those files.

I understand how you're feeling.

Miranda makes a lot of threats.

It doesn't mean that she can prove anything, but the second you confess,

there's no going back.

Welcome back.

How we feeling, Mama?

A little anxious, if I'm being honest.

But, you know, it was nice to actually get dressed this morning.

Ugh, strong disagreed pants are for suckers. Well, either way, it is nice to

see my people again.

Speaking of, have you seen Doris yet? Late. She said car trouble or something.

Multiple traumas incoming.

A group of teens were subway surfing. Three were thrown off. Subway surf?

Kids are jumping on top of subway cars, filming each other riding through the

city. Are you kidding me?

Mm-mm.

Samara West, 19, PPs 110 over 73. Found her unconscious, but she came to on the

ride over. She's complaining of severe neck pain and lower extremity

paresthesias. Gave 50 milligrams of fentanyl for the pain and also possible

wrist fracture.

Okay, we're going to check you out now. On my count, gentle.

One, two, three.

It feels like needles in my leg. Okay, Samara, I'm going to feel the back of

your neck. Keep still, okay?

Now, if you feel any pain as I'm pressing, let me know.

Ow, right there. Okay, I feel a step off at C67.

Let's get a CTC spine, CTA neck, trauma labs, and page Dr. Abrams.

Nolan Goodland, 14, fell off the train car, made contact with the third rail,

sustained severe electrical burns to the chest, was unconscious at the scene.

Poor kid.

I'm sure his parents are notified.

Let's get a crash pad set up and get a Foley in him. Send trauma labs with CK,

and I need an ultrasound. Ready? One, two, three.

Nolan? Abdomen's distended.

Nolan?

Can you hear me, son?

Nolan. My blood pressure's dropping.

Start a second IV.

Hang a liter of LR. Where's that ultrasound, Nancy? Come on.

Christian, I'm Dr. Frost. We're going to take a look at you, all right?

Okay, here's a pretty big flail segment on the right.

Still tacky and hypopensive.

Hang one and one.

Nolan.

Where is he, Nolan?

That's his younger brother. Hey, Christian, look at me, all right? You're

going to have to sit still. We're just trying to help. It's all right.

Towel.

Pima pneumothorax on the right with the flail segment.

Medius thynums widened. We're going to have to rule out an aortic injury. Yeah,

let's give two of her set of chest two before CT scan.

Need another set of hands here.

Go, go, I got it, go.

It's okay, Christian, I got you. It's all right, okay?

All right, take over.

Use a gram of calcium and bicarb.

Charge of 200.

Charge. Clear.

300.

So, Christian, we contacted your dad.

He's on the way.

But you have what is called an aortic dissection.

It's a tear in the main blood vessel from your heart.

Sounds bad.

It's a small tear, which is good.

But sometimes those do get bigger and require surgery.

So what do we do?

Well, we admit you and monitor you for the next 48 hours, and then we let

Vascular take point.

Where's my brother?

How is he?

We were able to restart his heart, but he is also suffering lacerations to his

spleen and his liver.

He'll be okay?

We are doing everything that we possibly can, Christian.

Please.

Just tell me the truth.

If he makes it through in the next few hours, he will have a chance.

It's my idea.

I saw some other kids doing it online.

The train didn't seem like it was moving that fast.

Then he slipped.

He hit the rail and his body just like...

Like, see stuff.

Christian. Stop.

Hey, hey.

Look at me.

Look at me. Christian.

I know it's hard.

Okay, Nolan is fighting.

And that is a great thing.

But for right now, let's just focus on getting you fixed up, okay?

You do that for me?

Where's he going?

Ellen, I'm Dr. Ripley. I saw that you vomited blood and passed out this

morning. I was at the table one minute. Next, I was on the floor.

But Jackson called 911, thankfully.

Oh, nice work, Jackson.

You mind if I examine you? Yeah.

And who's that guy?

Captain Super Broccoli.

Captain Super Broccoli? Never heard of him.

I made him up and told stories about him, hoping Jackson might eat something

green.

He loved the stories.

No luck on the vegetables.

Very cool.

Say ah for me?

Ah.

Okay, we'll need to wait for a CT to confirm, but your chest x-ray shows

pneumomediastinum. I suspect you have a small tear in your esophagus. Would

explain the blood.

Is that bad?

It's not ideal. Something we can repair with a minor procedure.

My bigger concern is what caused the tear.

Have you been vomiting frequently? Any recent illness?

I've been going through a custody battle with my ex that gives me plenty of

indigestion. But I was fine today until, you know.

Sorry, it says you went for your physical three months ago and your

weight was 145.

Today your weight is 185.

Is that accurate?

Unfortunately, yes.

You think that has something to do with this?

It's hard to tell just yet, but it is concerning.

I was chalking it up to stress.

Stress can certainly wreak havoc.

Why don't we run some tests, get some more info, and try to get to the bottom

of this?

Okay. Okay.

Looks like your pain level's gone down.

Yeah, those meds did the trick.

Good.

How are those two boys that came in with me?

They're being worked on now.

Samara, I'd like to introduce you to Dr. Abrams. He's a neurosurgeon.

So, your CT shows that you injured both vertebral arteries, which provide blood

to your brain.

And if we don't get them open, there's very high risk for stroke.

But the arteries were injured because your spine was dislocated, along with

fractures to the C6 and C7 vertebrae, which are currently pinching your spinal

cord. That's why my legs are tingling? Most likely.

So, can we fix that, too?

Yes, but it's complicated.

So repairing the arteries is, of course, our first priority, but it would require

realigning your spine.

It'll restore blood flow and it'll limit the risk of the stroke, but it will put

increased pressure on your spinal cord and it could result in permanent

paralysis of your lower extremities.

So you're saying I won't be able to walk?

Nothing is guaranteed.

You know, I'm not even on TikTok.

I don't... Subway surf to create content get views I do it because that feeling

when you're up there. It's just like Don't escape I

Need to be able to move to get away to get out of my head

I'm not doing anything that's gonna make me paralyzed I Know you say no to the

surgery Samara.

I want you to understand that If you don't do the surgery, you could die.

Could isn't certain, though.

You said it yourself.

Nothing's guaranteed, right?

Mom, you asked me to come here today to help advise you as an attorney.

I did.

Then I think I should tell you, if Doris stays quiet and you turn down this deal,

it is going to turn into a legal matter, and their attorneys will start deposing

everyone.

Including Doris. You think she's going to stay quiet through that?

No matter what your intentions were initially, the fact of the matter is you

did not do what they're accusing you of. Because I'm a coward.

Because you're a good person.

What are you saying, David?

What I'm saying is there's no magic bullet.

The only real choices are taking the deal, making this all go away, or

letting Doris confess.

If Doris confesses, they'll fire her, David. And it'll be damn near impossible

for her to find another job with this on her record.

Look, I'd love nothing more than for you to walk off into the sunset and spend

days with your new grandchild.

But you keep telling me how hard it is to watch from the outside while Miranda

tears down what you built.

You take this deal, you're on the outside forever.

40-pound weight gain in three months. Wow.

Yeah, plus an esophageal perf.

She's headed to surgery in a few hours. The stent is.

Testing's all looking pretty normal.

Yeah, I ran labs.

Full metabolic panel, other than an electrolyte imbalance and a slightly

elevated A1C. Nothing.

But now you're thinking it might be a psych issue.

Maybe. Been cheating brought on by stress or depression.

Apparently she's going through a pretty nasty custody battle.

Huh. Let me have a quick chat, see what I can suss out. Give me, like, ten

minutes? Yeah, thanks, buddy.

Yes, from Gaffney Chicago Med.

I'll hold.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Hey. I heard your patient is refusing surgery.

Yeah, I'm trying to track down her family, find support, see if they can

change her mind. The file says that her mom lives in Decatur, but I have not

been able to reach her. I feel for her and these kids, but this whole thing

just feels pointless.

Do we really need to tell young people not to ride on top of subway cars now?

I mean, don't you remember what it was like being young?

How invincible you feel? I mean, God knows I did stupid things.

I will be right back.

Hey,

how's Nolan?

There was too much bleeding from behind the liver.

He kept going into cardiac arrest.

We tried to revive him. Tried for 30 minutes.

He's gone.

Ellen, this is Dr. Charles. Hey, Ellen. Nice to meet you.

Jackson, one of our nurses is cleaning out our lost and found and stumbled

across a few toys.

I thought you might like to check them out while your mom chats to Dr. Charles

here. Yeah? Okay.

Bye.

Must be bad news if you had to clear the room.

That wasn't too scary. I'm just a psychiatrist.

That sounds a little scary.

Trust me, I'm harmless.

Um, I just thought... You know, it'd be easier if we talked alone, because Dr.

Ripley shared with me you've been really going through it with your ex.

Jackson's dad was non-existent for the first four years of his life, until a

year ago when he moved back to Chicago with his new wife, asking for full

custody. Oh, man.

And now I can't stop stuffing my face.

Well, I for one certainly understand the stress eating.

But you know what? I'm just curious.

Is this a new...

coping mechanism for you because your medical records are showing that your

weight's always been pretty steady, you know, until just recently.

I was thinking about trying to get on a GLP-1, actually.

Is that something you can prescribe?

We can certainly talk about that, but first, I really want to make sure

there's nothing else going on here, you know, because right now, we really need

you at 100% for Jackson, right?

Of course.

I can't lose my son.

He is the only thing that matters to me.

Hey, there she is.

Hey, you made it.

Yeah.

Thanks.

I'm going to give this to her.

Yeah.

Hey, any updates on Samara? Checking now. Any luck reaching her family?

No. I've left like a thousand messages, but...

Nothing back from mom. Well, we've got another problem. The trauma Samara

suffered, she had the soft tissue from her muscle causing the blood to pool

beneath her skin.

Won't be long before that tissue dies and an infection sets in. And makes the

surgery she needs impossible to do.

Was there any way to fix it?

Yeah, there might be.

Okay, well, that's great.

But why do you look like you just ate bad yogurt?

The treatment that might help Samara is really gross.

It's really gro... You're a... You're a surgeon.

Yeah, but... I gotta think about creatures.

Okay, I'm gonna place this one on the right side right here.

Crazy Abrams can cut open a human brain, but this creeps him out.

Yeah, well, everybody's got their things that get them.

Mine's clowns. What about you?

Cargo shorts.

There. Hey, can you feel that, Samara?

Samara? What?

I asked if you could feel the one I just placed.

A little, maybe.

Why do we have to do this again?

Because modern medicine has made strides in arterial revascularization, but we

have not been able to beat evolution when it comes to wound care, so medieval

leeches are the best.

Don't say leeches.

You know, we wouldn't have to try this if you did the surgery to repair your

blood vessels.

No, I'm good.

Keep going.

Okay, well, we need to immobilize her neck without killing the leeches. So,

Jimmy, you have a dressing to keep them in place? Yep.

Why isn't this going through?

Why isn't it going through?

Your phone's on the escape key.

Don't worry, I won't tell anyone.

You know what? While I have you, can I get your signature on something?

Yeah.

Thank you.

Wait, what did I just sign?

We're going to have these on a timeshare.

Sorry, Dr. Archer, you're being paged to room 132.

Room 132? I never heard of that. What is it?

Beats me.

I'm Dr. Archer, and I was paged to this room for some reason. We just checked.

Christian Goodland had noticed a pulse discrepancy in his leg. Okay.

Hi, Christian.

Um... What are you doing here?

Looking for him. He's supposed to be in the ICU.

I'm aware.

How we doing, Christian?

Thanks, Kenneth Dobby. Yeah.

Cold leg. His dissection is getting worse. A bowl of some 2,500 units of

heparin. Start a drip. We need to fix this dissection before it gets worse.

Wait, wait, wait. Am I gonna lose my leg? Uh, Dr. Archer? And where's the

vascular surgeon that's following him? We paged her, but she's in clinics and

you're closer.

Dr. Archer. What?

I'm just trying to make sure Christian isn't getting too upset here.

Okay?

It's gonna be okay, all right? I'm not gonna lose the leg. We're gonna sort

this out. Just give me big, deep breaths. Try to slow your heart rate

down, okay?

He has monophasic signals. All right, let's alert IR and have him get a room

ready. What does that mean? It's going to be okay.

All right.

What the hell is this place?

Could you please explain why I was paged to a room I never heard of to deal with

a patient who had already technically been admitted to the ICU?

Is that room 132?

Yes. Yeah, that's the overflow room.

The what room?

Well, that's how we solved your problem with patients stacking up in the ED.

I created an overflow room so that we can start servicing in patient needs

while awaiting a bed upstairs.

Just felt more practical.

Yeah, except practically, that's not how it works.

Doctors from other floors can't get to that room with any urgency.

And then practically what happens next is that the ED attending gets paged,

which, as a refresher, is me.

Mm-hmm. I'm aware.

Yeah? So what you've effectively done is given the ED, again, specifically me,

more work to deal with, not less.

I hear you. I do.

But maybe, maybe there's some way that we can tweak this setup rather than just

scrap it completely.

Tweak? You've got a tech and a floor nurse overseeing 14 beds.

So what I could probably do is hire you another tech, maybe even a telemetry

nurse? I'm not trying to add to staff, you understand? I just want this damn

thing gone.

Okay, Dr. Archer, I'm trying to work with you here.

You said you had patients stacking up. I provided a solution, and I don't think

it's very productive of you to come in here and just whine about it. Um, what?

So what I'm saying is you need to stop looking to place blame and get a little

bit more creative about trying to find a solution, like I was.

You know, you got to think outside the box.

Did he suffer?

Nolan? Not in the end.

No.

Dr. Tanaka Reid, this is Stan Goodland, Christian and Nolan's dad.

Mr. Goodland, I'm so sorry for your loss.

How's Christian?

Dr. Frost said you were taking him into surgery.

They're prepping the room now.

Is he going to make it?

We're going to place a stent in the aorta to fix the tear.

But there's no reason to think Christian won't do well.

Though when the injury is that close to the heart, there are always risks.

I want to see him.

Of course.

But that is a little complicated.

It's complicated.

His dissection has gotten worse.

So it is imperative that we keep his heart rate low, below 60, until we get

him into surgery.

So we're doing everything we can to keep him calm.

Which is why we have not told him yet about Nolan.

And if you go in there and tell him what happened, the emotion could cause his

heart rate to spike.

It's just that, huh?

I already lost one son today.

And if I were to lose another one, without at least

seeing it.

And look, I won't say anything except that I love

you.

And then I'll go.

I know it's scary, Jackson, but the procedure's only a minor one.

Your mom's gonna be okay.

But she tries very hard.

Well, she's lucky to have you.

Pretty amazing you called for help.

Not a lot of five-year-olds would know to do that so fast.

But it's what she taught me.

What do you mean she taught you?

How you feeling, Christian?

I'm tired.

Well, we're gonna fix you up.

But before we head up to surgery, there's someone who would like to see

you.

Well, they came here for a minute.

I know they need to get you to surgery.

But I, uh... I, uh...

I just wanted to say that...

I love you.

So much.

And, uh, I'll, uh, be here when you get out.

Hey, Dad.

How's Nolan?

Nolan is fine.

He's resting in the PQ.

Okay.

When you see him, can you just tell him I'm sorry?

What?

Just tell him I'm sorry I didn't mean to get him into this mess.

Tell him I'll drive him wherever he wants to go to get out of here.

You okay, Dad?

Uh-huh.

We should get him to IR.

Yeah. Nurse, no one's okay, right?

Nolan is, um... He's fine.

What is it?

Please stop.

Dad, what is it?

Run ahead and have some libido already, okay? When we get there, cough. Dad,

what is it?

Okay.

Dad, what is it? Deep breaths for me, Christian. It's okay.

Hey.

She had an interesting talk with Ellen's son, Jackson.

Yeah? Yeah.

Turns out he's not just a precocious kid.

Ellen prepped him on how to call 911.

Like, really prepped him as if... She knew this might happen.

Oh, that's interesting.

Yeah. Look, I don't want to jump to any conclusions, but it kind of reminds me

of my mom.

How so?

Well, with her drug problem, she knew she might not always keep it together,

so she taught me to do things at a young age.

Make dinner when I was six, drive when I was 13. She also taught me to call 911.

She said it was in case of an accident, but really, it was in case she OD'd.

Buddy, you think that's what we're looking at here?

Substance abuse?

Like I said, I don't want to jump to any conclusions.

Excessive drinking could cause the esophageal tear, but not the weight

gain. Not on that scale, anyway.

Maybe she's substituting one addiction for another?

Oh, man.

The GLP-1.

What? I think I might know what's going on here.

Hey, what's up with you today?

You seem distracted or something.

Is everything okay at home?

Yeah. Yeah.

I just never realized how much I love all of this.

Okay. You are really freaking me out now. What?

Sorry. I'm just feeling a little sentimental and so on.

Okay. Dr. Asher? Yeah? This is Samara's mom, Rhonda West. Mrs. West, I am so

glad you're here. Samara's stable now, though she sustained damage to her spine

and the blood vessels in her neck. Wait.

So, she's alive?

Yes, I am.

I am so sorry if my messages weren't clear. Samara is alive and she is...

When you said she was in an accident, I'm sure you were calling to tell me she

finally managed to kill herself.

Thankfully, that is not the case.

Though she does need surgery to prevent stroke, and currently Samara is refusing

it.

I thought that you could talk to her. I can't help with that.

I'm sorry?

What do you mean?

I tried for years to help Samara.

When she OD'd, when she broke the law, when she hurt us in every imaginable

way.

I love my daughter.

I always will.

But her decisions are her own now.

So, sounds like everything went off without a hitch.

Thank goodness.

Now, we just gotta figure out what to do about your alcohol consumption.

I'm not an alcoholic.

Ellen, I'm not here to judge you or shame you.

I'm wondering if you are eating to gain weight so that you can qualify for a GLP

-1.

That doesn't even make any sense.

Look, everybody knows that these drugs, they help with diabetes, right? They

promote weight loss.

But also, you can't hit your news feed these days without reading another story

about some exciting new off-label use, like, for instance, how they curb

compulsive behavior, alcohol, drug abuse, addictions that could cause

somebody to lose custody of their child.

I always kept it a secret.

But I've struggled with drinking since I was 16.

Over time, it got worse, and I couldn't control it.

But then I got pregnant.

So I started going to meetings, taking care of myself.

Stupidly, I thought I'd beat it for good.

And then...

Your husband came back to town and filed for full custody of Jackson.

And then Jackson went with his dad one weekend.

I went on a 48-hour bender.

And I realized that unless I changed something, I was going to lose the

battle. So I went online for any remedy I could find.

I saw GLP-1's helped some people.

But all my money was going to my lawyer.

Right. So you thought if you gained enough weight that your insurance would

cover it.

I know. It's insane.

Oh, come on. When it comes to our kids, we will do absolutely anything.

So what now?

Well, I'm actually going to prescribe you a GLP-1 because...

Your A1C is dangerously high, and it's very important that we bring it down so

you don't become a diabetic.

Okay? Yeah.

Now, if it happens to help you in other ways... Oh, my God, thank you.

Ellen, listen to me. This is not a magic bullet.

What do you mean? Your five-year-old terrified son called 911 because he

walked in the kitchen and found his mom under the kitchen table next to a pool

of her own vomit and blood.

Something like that happens again, he's gone.

You've got to face this. It's the only chance you have of keeping your son.

Okay.

Okay.

Miranda?

Sharon, I thought our meeting wasn't for another hour. Well, I finally made a

decision and didn't want to wait any longer.

Fair enough.

Well?

Per your offer I'm resigning my position as executive director effective

immediately I'm taking the deal

Looks

like the leeches did the trick.

Oh, yeah

So now what?

Well, you still have limited blood flow to your brain, which means that we'll be

pushing your blood pressure to make up for it.

Hopefully, if you keep your collar on, some of your fractures will heal, but

they may also deteriorate, and you will be at constant risk for a stroke, either

of which could prove fatal.

But I'll walk?

After some physical therapy and rehab, yes.

But you will be a time bomb

I

Was finally able to connect with your mom Let me guess she doesn't want to see

me Like smart when I was younger I did a lot of things that pushed

people away things I am not proud of

I know what it's like to live for the moment because you believe that you

don't have a future.

The thing is, the future doesn't care what you believe.

It comes anyway.

Now, I'm not asking you to suddenly believe that things will improve in your

life.

I'm just asking for you to allow for the possibility that they might.

You have to consider the idea that maybe someday you won't feel this way.

It takes a lot of courage to ride on top of a train.

A lot of courage to turn down a surgery like this.

Sometimes the bravest thing that we can do is choose to survive.

You are making the choice to die right now.

If I die, no one will notice.

No one will care.

Not even my mom.

That's not true.

I care.

I care if you live or die.

I'll get the surgery.

How's Christian?

He's just fine.

The surgery went off without a hitch. We placed the stent and restored flow to

his leg.

He'll need physical therapy for a couple days, but... He should make a full

recovery.

I was so scared that...

What I said with his heart. He's okay.

It didn't hurt him.

And you can see him in a couple hours when he gets out of recovery.

My God.

Thank you.

Of course.

I have to let the rest of the family know.

Thank you.

I don't know why anyone becomes a parent.

She did great, Mom.

We did some tummy time. We sang some songs.

Mabel's an independent girl now.

I'll go get her back for you.

There's nothing that you could ever do that would make me give up on you.

How could you take the deal?

Come in.

Dr. Archer.

Mallory, I'm actually glad I ran into you.

I owe you an apology for earlier.

Oh, really?

Yeah, I was a bit of an ass, and I had time to reflect, and I think I could

make this new system work.

I told you I didn't want this.

I wasn't going to let you just throw away everything you've ever done.

I know that, Doris, but you're too good of a nurse. You're too good of a person

to let this define you, to let my drama derail your whole life. Plus, this isn't

what it looks like.

What do you mean?

Well, how did you solve your issues?

Just did what you said. Thought outside the box.

There's no non-compete in the deal I agreed to, so I won't be executive

director anymore, but that doesn't mean I'm done with Gaffney.

I was speaking with a charge nurse who I used to work with who's nearing the end

of her career, and she said she'd be willing to take this job at the salary

of a telemetry nurse.

I don't think the changes that Miranda's making are just about... I think

there's a bigger plan here, but I can't fight it from the outside.

I need access.

Well, I look forward to meeting her.

I promise you, this is not over.
