male announcer: Previously
on "New Amsterdam"...

- All my patients,

all their despair,
it just becomes a part of me,

and I'm not going
to see patients anymore.

- Dr. Sharpe and I are leaving.

We're leaving New Amsterdam.
We're moving to London.

- I'd like to introduce
you all

to the new medical director
of New Amsterdam.

- We go way back,
don't we, Max?

♪

- Listen, Karen.

Yeah, uh, Karen,

would you just stop walking
for one second?

- Why? So you can ask me

to reconsider hiring
Veronica Fuentes?

- No, so I can beg you.
Plead, grovel.

She is the exact wrong person
for the job.

- She's far more qualified
to be medical director

than you are.

- Maybe on paper,
but I trained under her.

- And look how wonderful
you turned out.

- Despite her.
I have seen her in action.

She is ruthless, corporate,
financially motivated.

- Like, like, love.
- She's not one of us.

She completely lacks
the New Amsterdam spirit.

- Unlike you, Max, the board

had to consider
the future of this hospital,

and we were thrilled when
Dr. Fuentes accepted our offer.

She's here to stay.

- Where's my desk?

- Oh, I just thought
the natural light

was better on this side
of the room.

- Oh, you thought
the light was better there?

That's--that's lovely.

I am still the medical director

of this hospital.

My decision stands,

and I happen to like my desk

on the shady side
of the office.

- Max, put on some sunscreen,
and let it go.

I want you to spend the next
five weeks passing the torch.

Bring Dr. Fuentes up to speed.

From this point on,

I want you two
joined firmly at the hip.

- Oh, just like old times,
except back then,

you were a bit more
in the background.

- Yeah, this isn't gonna work.

- Wow, seems like the only one

lacking that New Amsterdam
spirit, Max, is you.

- As it turns out,

you'll get the chance
to collaborate

right off the bat,
thanks to this.

A generous donation...
- I got it.

- From Steve and Susan Gerlach,

philanthropists
and longtime hospital donors.

They've gifted New Amsterdam

with attractive land
in East New York worth--

- $10 million.

- That's right.
I want you and Veronica

to decide what to do
with the land.

- What if we can't agree?

- I don't care
if it takes a thumb war.

Figure it out.
- Bye, Karen.

- Thanks, Karen.
- Bye!

♪

- Pardon me, thank you.

Make a hole.
Thank you. Thank you.

Excuse me.

Okay.

Babe, surprise!

I got you a bagel.

Where's Leyla?

- You just missed her.

She went home
about ten minutes ago.

Hey, since she's gone,
can I--can I have that bagel?

- Turkey, egg white omelet,
spanakopita,

and two joes to go.

- Right here.
You can keep the change.

- Does your wife want
honey or agave?

- Oh, actually, the queen
accompanying me isn't my wife.

She is my lover
from a blossoming

and healthy
polyamorous relationship.

- It's fine. It's fine.

Here's your spanakopita,
Dr. Woke-in-stein.

- Well, I know you clown,

but I can't help it
if she saw the vibe in us.

- Oh, our vibe, huh?

And you are embracing our vibe?

- What's there not to embrace?

I mean, love is love...is love.

Hey, look, we do us.

- Attached at the hip
with a total corporate shill.

In a dictionary
under "corporate shill,"

it says, "See Veronica Fuentes'
LinkedIn page."

- Mm, she is cagey, that one.

However, her superpower
seems to be the ability

to thoroughly
get under your skin.

- That's why she does
what she does.

She--she smiles, you know,
and she tells you

what you wanna hear,
and she plays nice.

Stroke, stroke, stab.
- And?

- And I have five weeks left

to leave a lasting impression
on this place.

To stir up some good trouble,
you know?

And despite my best effort,

Veronica Fuentes
is gonna come in

and undo everything
that I've fought for.

- Funny enough, I, too, have
just a little over a month

in which to affix
a lasting imprimatur

on the oncology department.

- It's fancier
than the way I said it.

- I've put my heart and soul
into oncology.

I'm gonna leave it
ship-shape in Bristol fashion.

- Good. What?
- A well-oiled machine, dear.

So while you're busy
stirring up good trouble,

I will be dotting my Is
and crossing my Ts,

updating patient files,
replacing old equipment,

even sprucing up my office.

By the time
I leave New Amsterdam,

I'll have everything
in perfect order.

- We're very different.

- I need your help,
'cause I am going crazy.

Leyla is working nights
this month, and we go days

without seeing each other,
and it is making me insane.

- No, you're missing
your girlfriend.

That sounds perfectly normal.

- No, not like this.

I mean, this is like
a--like a need.

Like--like a craving
for her smell and her touch.

- Okay, let me ask you this.

Have you lashed out at Leyla?

Have you blamed her unfairly
for things?

- No, no.

- You abusing your power
at work at all?

Adjusting the work schedule

to make your life
a little easier?

Okay, so that is
a slippery slope, my friend,

one that you've
skied down before.

- Oh, God.

God, I'm making Leyla
my new drug, aren't I?

- Well, I don't know.
I mean, I wouldn't

slalom down that hill just yet.

I mean, you're willingly
acknowledging your behavior.

That's huge.
That's a big step, right?

You've worked really hard
to be here.

So I would say, uh, hash it out
with your sponsor,

and focus on your triggers.

- Yeah, thank you.
You're right.

- Yeah, you got it.

- Uh, and you know, if you ever
wanna get back in the saddle,

you know, seeing patients...

you still got it.

- Ah.

Cool.

- Hi, Doc.
You wanted to see me?

- Ah, Adena. Yes.

Please, do come in.

So you know how I'm trying

not to leave any
unresolved department issues?

- Sure, sounds like you.
- Yes.

And I found a list of people
who had had mammograms

who were identified
as having dense breast tissue,

but who didn't follow up on
the letter that they received.

I found your name on that list.

- You mean that letter where

they say you have dense
breast tissue,

but we couldn't see everything?

Yeah, I get it every year.

- So why didn't you follow up?

- Was I supposed to?

- Okay, to rely solely
on mammograms

when you have
dense breast tissue

could place you at higher risk
for undetected breast cancer.

Now, an ultrasound or an MRI

is the best way to establish
a definitive baseline scan.

- Well, when you put it
that way,

it sounds
a bit more motivating.

- And you've worked in oncology
for 15 years.

I have a feeling
that every patient on that list

needs to be having
this conversation.

Now, where do we keep the files
with the letters like yours in?

- Technically,
they're not patients,

so we just kind of keep
their files in limbo land.

♪

- She's over there.

Name's Carrie Logandorffer.

- Has she vomited
any more bowel or blood?

- Not since the ultrasound.

I still have no idea
what's causing

the shadow on her abdomen,
she hasn't passed anything.

- Just breathe, Carrie.

- This is Dr. Reynolds.

He'll handle it from here.

- Hey, Carrie,
and you must be her coach.

- Jessa Wilkes.

We're in town
for dance regionals.

We were practicing,

and then all of a sudden,
Carrie collapsed.

Then she started vomiting.

Scared us half to death.

Her parents are on the way.

- Okay, Carrie,
I'm gonna touch your stomach,

if that's okay.

Have you experienced any
other symptoms besides pain?

- Oh--just kind of dizzy.

- Okay, yeah.
We're concerned

you might have some blockage
in your belly area.

We're gonna
take a look at that.

Okay? All right?

I'll keep you posted
until her parents get here.

- Okay, thank you very much.

- Feel better, Carrie!
- Bye!

- Stay strong, girl!

- I'm still waiting
on your medical file,

but do you know if you have

sickle cell disease
or the trait?

- Trait?

I'm--I'm sorry. Sickle what?

- Sickle cell, it's common
among African-Americans.

- What? No, I'm not Black.

♪

- Dr. Fuentes.

Hey, I owe you an apology.

I had no idea who you were

when I had you bounced
out of the ED.

- Oh, it's like being back
at CBGB's.

- Indeed.

- So look, about this
little donation that we got--

- Uh, you heard about that?
- Uh, yeah. Yeah.

And if you haven't figured out
what to do with it yet--

- I'm figuring that out
right now, actually.

- Actually,
we're figuring that out.

What you got?
- Yeah, but talk to me.

- Okay, I honestly have
no idea who to look at.

both: Me.

- Anyway, what about an
elevated urgent care facility?

Better equipped
with an ED resident rotation?

- Ooh, I like
the sound of that.

- Yeah, we will take it
under consideration.

- But not before you consider
a geriatric drop-in center.

Kaboom. Dr. Ignatius Frome.
We've met before.

- Sorry, you heard
about that too?

- Seniors are just
so often neglected.

It causes higher rates
of depression, homelessness,

and I thought
this might help stem the tide

and foster connectedness,
you know?

- Yeah, uh, Iggy.
- Yes. Oh, hi.

Lame-duck, huh?
- No, no. Active duck.

- Oh, Dr. Fuentes.
I'm Dr. Lyn Malvo.

- I'm Dr. Agnes Kao.

- Chair of obstetrics
and gynecology.

Chair of neurology.
- Impressive.

- The new boss
did her homework.

- Old boss still here, gang.

- I heard we picked up
a new satellite property--

- Uh, yeah, the land
is actually already spoken for.

- But I have a great idea.
- As do I, Dr. Fuentes.

- Uh, still here, gang.

- Good, because a new birthing
facility would be optimal.

The lack of quality
prenatal care has severely

affected birthing outcomes
in this area of the city.

- And there's a lack
of neurologic care.

The area is rife
with chronic illnesses

that often expresses conditions

like seizure and stroke,
and if I had

neurological screening
and rehabilitation there,

and we reduce
our hospital census.

- Killer idea, Kao,

right next to my
drop-in center, right?

Plenty of room.

- These are all wonderful,
wonderful ideas, I have to say.

- Dr. Fuentes--
- Not you too.

- Totally controversial,
but I think laser-tag

would go gangbusters there.

That and Dr. Reynolds
wanted me to suggest

a elective surgery center

in case, you know,
you didn't go for laser--

- Guys!
Love all your ideas, really.

I don't know when this became
Land-grab Tuesday,

but the decision
for how this land will be used

will be made
the New Amsterdam way,

meaning it won't come from us.

- No, it'll come
from the community.

We'll reach out directly
to the people

and we'll find out
what their greatest needs are.

- Yeah.
That's what I was gonna say.

.

- While this land may be our
project, it is not our focus.

We're here to talk
to the community

about their needs
and their concerns,

and we're here to listen.

Think of it like an
intelligence-gathering mission.

- Okay, well,
that being said,

they definitely do not need
another Chicken O'Cluck.

- Well, whatever decision
we do make, these people

and whoever is still working
for New Amsterdam

will have to live with it
for a very long time.

So I think it's very important
that we--

- Welcome to Desmond Park!

- Hi.
- How can I help?

- Oh, well, that's
sort of my line.

- Friends call me Domino.

Whether it's direction,
confection,

connection,
I'm all about satisfaction.

Yeah, consider me your plug,
amigo.

- Oh, my gosh, that's so cold.

- Domino, I'm Max,

medical director
of New Amsterdam--not her.

So you know this area
pretty well?

- Yeah. Know it?

I grew up here
my whole life, man.

Anything you want I can get,
and if I can get it,

you probably don't need it,
yeah?

Anyway, seven bucks
for waters, each.

- I mean, look at this place.

The kids make do,
but they shouldn't have to.

Build a playground
into whatever it is

that you're building.

- So safer spaces for kids
to be kids

and for people
to actually gather.

- Yeah, and maybe
a closer OBGYN clinic.

It's hard to get the time off
to get to the good one.

It's, like, 11 stops away.

- What we need
is a homeless shelter.

My wife and I
founded this church.

Fed and clothed
at least a fifth

of the folk
in this neighborhood.

- A fifth?

That's a--that's
a lot of pressure.

How are you and your wife
holding up?

My wife's passed.

- I'm so sorry. That's hard.

I--I can't even imagine
how it would feel

to lose the most important
person in your life.

The most valuable conduit

- Helen, to what do I owe
this pleasure?

- Dr. Ketner, hello.

Do you have any idea
how many of our patients

have kept up to date
with their mammograms,

but still have no idea whether
they might have breast cancer?

- Well, if I had to guess...

- Yes, this many.

These many people were sent

a vague letter
from your department

telling them that they
have dense breast tissue,

but that their mammogram

might not actually be
telling them the whole story.

- Well, that's not good.

- No, that's not good.

That's why radiology
is gonna reach out

to each and every one
of these people

explaining exactly what dense
breast tissue actually means,

and then bringing them in

for ultrasounds or MRIs,
as indicated.

- Nothing would
delight me more.

Place will be humming 24/7.

- Great.

- We just need you to get

new referrals for each of them.

- But it's still
just a breast screening.

It's only more targeted.

- And insurance considers it
a diagnostic exam

and they require it.

It's not worth talking about.

is obviously struggling
with profound self-hatred.

- Yeah, well, I mean,
before we label it,

let's try and remember
she's a 13-year-old

transracial adoptee, right?

- One who almost died, Iggy,
'cause she's surrounded

by no one who looks like her

and has learned to hate
the color of her skin.

How is this anything
other than that?

- Yeah, but you're applying
your life experience

and your identity to hers.

- Yeah,
because I have no choice,

and the way she looks,
neither will she, right?

- Well, yeah, perhaps.
Absolutely.

But that's her journey, right?

Not a retread of yours.

Identity formation
is about boundary testing.

It's about struggle.

And for her, it looked like
changing the color of her skin,

which is extreme, yeah,
but it implies that

she knows there's a difference,
which strangely is healthy.

♪

- Make it make sense.

- Yeah, okay,
that was a little verbose.

You said yourself
just over there

that she is being raised

bereft of people
who look similar to herself.

- Right.
- Right?

So she could have just
as easily denied

that there was
any difference whatsoever

and grown
into a cratering reality

and just crushing her.

You know, frankly,
these are complex issues

for any teenager

So they need to be around

she's going through.

Everyone to your right.

Okay, ladies?

- We need to talk. Now.

It's like the last few minutes
of a sample sale out there.

Why would you
email them letters

explicitly saying
that they could have cancer?

- Because for years,
they've been receiving

confusing letters,
so I told them the truth,

albeit provocatively,
to get them in the door,

and now they have
a real choice.

- Being petrified
or very petrified?

- Look, half of our patients
are flying blind

on their breast health,

not equipped to do that.

You see this line?
That is just today.

- Well, then we outsource.

There's already a scan van
doing this kind of work.

We help them scale up.

We could send scan vans out
across the city.

We could make it easy.
Patients walk up.

They get their mammogram.
If they need

the extra screening,
they get it on the spot.

No waiting, no new referral,

Under your leadership,
New Amsterdam

is running a deficit
of 21 million per quarter.

That is $84 million a year.

COVID dried up all your most
profitable revenue streams,

and profit margins
are down overall.

- Less profit equals more care.

What else is the money for

if not to spend it on
the people who don't have it?

- Yet not all patients.

In your efforts to end
systemic racism and bias,

you have
unfortunately alienated

so many of your white patients.

- If amplifying other voices
is so threatening, then maybe--

- Max, your lobby looks like
a progressive piñata

just exploded.

- There are so many
memorial plaques

and so many apologetic
commemorative poems.

I mean, you might as well
be getting a checkup

- And if money is all you care
about, then why don't you

just turn New Amsterdam
into a private hospital

and shut the doors on anyone
who can't pay enough to live?

- I will take that
under consideration.

for New Amsterdam,
