(male narrator)
Previously on "ER."

I don't believe we've
been properly introduced.

I'm Cate Banfield.

How can you let him leave?

I don't like it, either,
but he forced our hand.

Lucien, don't be an idiot.
Come back to work.

My work makes it difficult
to have a normal social life.

Me, too.

We're work colleagues,
and that's all.

I don't wanna
go for coffee

or drinks with you,
not now, not ever.

Ah, the new interns.

Welcome to County.

The adventure is just beginning.

[siren wailing]

Daria's assessment was atypical
chest pain, which I agree with.

He's going home after two
normal troponins and EKGs.

Not during rounds.

And when he drops dead
in his own kitchen

it will be because
we missed a..

- PE?
- No.

Symptoms are
too intermittent.

Are you thinking
variant angina?

He complained
of abdominal pain.

Am I boring you, Dr. Gates?

No. I'm sorry.
It's a 6 a.m. shift.

'My brain's here,
but my body isn't.'

If there's pain above
and below the diaphragm

think aortic dissection.
Get a CT.

That's a great
teaching point, Dr. Banfield.

If you can learn something
new on every case

you'll be brilliant by the time
you finish your training.

So, in order to get
to the next level

each intern will get a mentor.

Gates, you get Wade.

Uh, Brenner, Martin.

Morris, Sanchez.

Mentors, as they go, so you go.

(Morris)
'Well, I guess
Brenner's gone'

seeing as he likes
to demoralize when he teaches.

Bite me.

There will be two-way
critiques on a daily basis.

- Now get to work.
- Let's go get a patient.

Well, the paramedics
just brought in an eye injury.

This is ridiculous. I don't
need interns critiquing me.

That's too bad, 'cause
I was gonna give you

some advice
on that tie.

What's wrong
with my tie?

- Someone called for a consult?
- Yup.

This-this tie is Italian.

- Looks fine.
- Don't touch me.

Okay, present your patients
to me before you run any tests

and, uh, we can
discuss a differential

and come up with
a plan together.

Or I could come up
with a plan myself

and then you can tell me whether

or not you agree with it later?

(Dawn)
'Four of Ativan.'

- Hi, Surgery.
- Hey.

Triple hit of LSD
peyote and crack last night.

That's pretty
hardcore.

(Brenner)
Stabbed his belly
with a potato peeler.

Okay. It looks
superficial. Andrew?

- One percent with epi?
- Exactly right.

You glad to be back?

Yes, I am, and I appreciate
what you did for me.

Well, I just helped it along
a bit. It was really Neela.

Thought it was
your idea.

Well, they need
you up there.

Well, if you ever need
anything, Dr. Brenner

you just let me know.

I owe you one.

I know. I know.

I love Lake Geneva.

I was just hoping
we could stay here.

Sorry it's broken.
Try down the street.

[sighs]

I've been away
from Chicago so long

just being home
feels like a vacation.

Alright, next month, I promise
we will go to the lake.

Okay, now go back to work
and make us some money.

I'll call you later.

[grunts]

- Oh, God!
- I got a gun. I got a gun.

- Just pass me your wallet.
- Doesn't have any cash in it.

Lady, are you stupid?
Come on. Hand it over.

[grunting]

[theme music]

[soft music]

Me? Go out.
Come on, Ray.

[beeping]

Hey, I do have a life.

Last weekend, I went out
with friends for drinks.

I'm not lying.

Who are my friends?

Alright, fine.

You know, I-I fell asleep

watching three
Tracy Hepburn movies, and..

Stop laughing at me.

I am not a loser.

You saw how it cleaned up
the corneal rust, right?

Yeah. It was
kind of scary.

I mean, you can't drill
into the eye, right?

No, the blades only
go down a millimeter.

[groaning]

I can't breathe. What
the hell did you do to me?

Another kick, I'd have
put you in the morgue.

Oh, hear that?
She's threatening me!

Victim of assault.

Self-defense.
He tried to mug me.

- She crushed my chest.
- Are you okay?

- I'm fine.
- Blunt chest trauma.

- Decent vitals, pulse is okay.
- Gimme something for the pain.

- You need to be checked out.
- No, forget it.

No, you've got a
pretty big contusion.

Listen, all I need is some ice.

- Inferior orbit fracture.
- Alright, quickly.

Come on.

Decreased breath
sounds on the left.

I agree.

[groaning]

I can't believe
I mugged a doctor.

Not just a doctor.
She's the chief.

What the hell
that supposed to mean?

Is she an Apache or something?

- No, she runs this joint.
- Oh, God, kill me now.

Okay, tenderness over
the fifth and sixth ribs.

- Four of morphine.
- Mid-axillary line.

What should we do, Tracy?

Uh, obvious rib fractures.

'Collapsed lung.
He needs a chest tube.'

- That's right.
- Oh, no, no.

Not necessarily.

If it's a pure
pneumothorax

we can manage him
with a Heimlich valve.

- Okay, let's do it.
- You're holding back, are you?

- No, I don't think so.
- Me, either.

With a trauma,
he needs a chest tube

in case
there's any bleeding.

- I like to use a 32 French.
- I'll open one up.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, why stick
a garden hose in his chest

when we can get by
with a swizzle stick?

- Makes a lot of sense.
- Pulse ox 98. BP 122 over 78.

Well, he's stable for now.

We can wait for the chest x-ray

and then decide
on a course of action.

Yeah, and when
there's no hemothorax

we can do it my way.

To the left. Right.

Up, and then down.

Yeah, extraocular
movements are intact.

Yeah. You really did
a number on that guy.

Yeah. I took Tae Kwan Do
for the workout.

Never thought
I'd have to use it.

Well, it came in handy.

When you have
an orbital blowout

the inferior rectus
can get trapped

and you can lack upgaze.

I'm thinking
facial series.

No, I don't need x-rays.

Alright, how about bacitracin
on the, uh, abrasions.

Is that alright?

- It's broken, huh?
- Yes.

My husband gave it to me
on our first anniversary.

Want me to call him,
have him come pick you up?

No, not while
the market's open.

- He's a commodities trader.
- Dr. Banfield--

Besides, I'm not leaving. What?

- You should go home.
- We have a full board.

We'll take care of it.

We got a run,
five minutes out.

- You okay, Dr. Banfield?
- Yeah, I'm fine.

- Your tetanus up to date?
- Yeah. Of course it is.

- How far in?
- About three inches.

Now attach the
Heimlich valve.

I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.

You put a gun
to her back

and all you can say
is you're sorry?

It wasn't a gun.
It wasn't a gun.

Who the hell robs somebody
with a pink highlighter?

A runner-up for the
Darwin Awards, that's who.

And the connective tubing
goes to this collection bag.

But the valve leaflets
only flow one ways

so no air or blood
can reenter the chest.

Unusual approach
with the Heimlich.

Yeah, it's a pure
pneumothorax.

Let's get him off
to the jail ward.

Jail ward? I don't wanna
go to the jail ward.

(Banfield)
'Yeah. They'll
ignore him there.'

Let's keep him
for observation.

I thought the jail
ward nurses could handle it.

He's a moron, but he's
still our patient.

Yeah, listen to her.

She's the chief.

- See you.
- Hey. How was your sleep-over?

- Fun.
- Yeah?

You all ready
for your soccer tournament?

Judy's mom's picking
me up in an hour.

Good. I'm sorry
I can't be there.

It's her first time
being a left wing.

Oh, Daria, Sarah.
Sarah, Daria.

- Hey. Kick butt today.
- Thanks.

(Gates)
'What are you guys
doing after?'

Pizza, movie.

Why are you
talking like that?

- Like what?
- Like what?

- Toothache.
- Oh. Open your mouth.

- You're not a dentist.
- Open your mouth.

- A tongue ring?
- Ah, it's only a stud.

When did you get that?

Last night
at Heather's sleep-over.

Her big sister
took us to get it.

- Isn't it cool?
- No, it's not cool.

Look, don't you have
to get a-a parent

to sign off on
something like this?

You're acting like
I killed someone.

You did! Me! Now go wait
in the break room.

What.. I don't get it.

What's this whole fad
about a tongue stud?

Girls do it, you know,
to pleasure the boys.

So I've heard.

Julie O'Fallon. Fell off a
six-foot wall to cement surface.

Head trauma
and obvious femur fracture.

Alright. How
you doing, Julie?

I'm okay. I'm just really dizzy.

- Uh-huh.
- Is she gonna get shots?

She hates shots,
and blood, too.

Alright, let's just
check you out first.

You're gonna be okay,
sweetheart.

Alright, let's
get a trauma panel

and portable
x-rays. Let's go.

I keep telling her that if she
wants to be a serious gymnast

that she has to practice
hard, but that-that wall

'is not a balance beam.'

Pupils equal and reactive.

- Good breath sounds.
- It hurts.

They're gonna
fix you up, sweetie.

105 over 70.
Tachy at 120.

Is that bad?

Uh, it could be
from all the pain.

So give her something.

Well, it also could be

from the internal bleeding

'in which case pain meds
could be dangerous'

'so just give us
a second, okay?'

Dr. Gates?

Blunt head trauma.

Femur fracture.

I'm going to clear
the belly and the neck

and then, uh,
send her to head CT.

Alright. Sounds like a plan.

(girl)
What does this thing do?

Oh, that's a rapid infuser

'but your sister
doesn't need that.'

(Gates)
'Liver and spleen look good.'

Is this where you keep
all the tubes and stuff?

No. Uh, move away from there.

Claire, what
did I tell you

about touching things?
Will you come over here?

Will you just stay
here next to me?

Foot pulses two
plus and equal.

Pressure's down
to 80 systolic.

Alright, bolus
20 per kilo.

- Julie, you okay?
- Mommy.

- Mom.
- You okay, Julie?

I have to..

Sats are only 88.

Hundred percent nonrebreather.

Give me an intubation
tray and a 6-0 tube.

What's happening?

Could be the head injury

or maybe there's
blood loss in the thigh.

Alright, give
her some oxygen.

Okay, good news, Freda.

You didn't
break your hip.

Are you sure?
Feels broken to me.

- It's a bad bruise.
- I think it's broken.

What do you think of the belly?

Pretty benign.

The epigastric pain's
an ongoing problem.

I, uh, saw your post-op
Billroth wound infection.

- And?
- We'll admit him.

- Glad you agree.
- Andrew, H and P in Curtain 2.

- You mind if I go, Dr. Dubenko?
- No, not a problem.

I've got reflux
esophagitis.

I've tried everything.
Nothing helps.

Well, maybe if you'd stop
smoking cigarettes.

Why don't you
ruin my day altogether?

I'm 80 years old.
This is my only joy.

Oh, I do a little X, too.

What do you have,
nursing home raves?

You'd be surprised what
a girl's libido does at my age.

Look, Freda, I don't want
you to fall again.

I've organized for a
nurse to come around

and give you a home
safety assessment.

You're gonna need
a night light and a walker.

And I'd lay off the X.

Do you make house
calls, Simon?

I get up from my nap at 7.

You listen
to Dr. Brenner, Freda.

You'll be fine.
Listen to him.

Dr. Morris. Interesting use of
the Heimlich valve this morning.

- Yeah, how's he doing?
- He's doing well on room air.

- How's Dr. Banfield?
- Unfazed. She's still working.

Hey! What are you doing here?

Hey. Oh, pilates.

I fell off the reformer.

Ryan, finish those charts,
then find me.

I will take it from here.

This is one of my VIP patients.

Pressure's up
and so are the sats.

She's doing much better.

Do we really
have to intubate her?

Trust me, you don't want her off

in CT without an airway.

We're gonna put a tube
in your mouth, Julie

'and when you wake up,
it's gonna help you breathe.'

I don't want that.

It won't be too bad, I promise.

Mom, I have to go
to the bathroom.

Alright, premedicate with lido,
fent and atropine.

Alright, you have time.

'We have to wait
at least three minutes.'

Okay, we'll be right back.

(Gates)
'Alright, etomidate
and sux. Let's go.'

Alright, bag her up.
Get ready.

- My mom said I fell.
- I checked the cuff.

I didn't fall.

She pushed me.

'She pushed me.'

So how have you been?

Okay.

It's been hard.

My whole life revolved
around my mom.

- It's good that you had that.
- Yeah.

Packing up her
things was weird.

You know, our entire lives
get reduced to a garage sale.

And if you can't get rid
of your parents' stuff

on a Saturday morning

then you're dropping it off

at Goodwill on Sunday night.

I know. My dad died a year ago.

I'm still not over it.

You know, I haven't even
disconnected her phone yet.

Sometimes I call it and..

...just to listen to the sound
of her voice on the machine.

Sit tight. I'm gonna
go order an x-ray.

Hey, did you see
my clotted dialysis shunt?

Yeah. I put
in a Quinton.

Lucien, wait up.

Got something
to discuss with you.

Uh, Dr. Rasgotra
discovered

an abscess on
the, uh, Billroth patient.

- Was there a delay?
- No, no, not at all.

- No, I just, uh..
- What?

I thought you could help me out.

- What?
- I wanted to thank her.

Oh. No, no, no.
Absolutely not.

- Why?
- I'm a surgeon, not a yenta.

[chuckles]
No, but..

But you're colleagues,
you're friends.

No, we're work
friends, okay?

I know nothing about
her personal life.

You know what she likes,
what she doesn't like.

In the OR.

When I walk out
of the hospital

that's the end of our
personal relationship, okay?

Can I make a
quick suggestion?

Find somebody else to bang
and cast aside, okay?

Neela doesn't deserve that.

Lots of times when parents
encourage their kids

to do their best,
they lose their patience.

I don't believe this.

She said you pushed her.

Are you kidding me?

We got her x-rays back.

She has multiple
old fractures.

- She's an athlete.
- She's 13.

[sighs]
Claire.

Get over here.

You saw your sister fall.

Tell them what happened.

Alright, now is not
the time to be bashful.

What did you see?

I was in my room..

...and I heard her scream.

Keep going.

Let her talk,
Mrs. O'Fallon.

And then I looked
outside my window

and she was
on the ground.

And I wasn't
anywhere near her, right?

Right.

That's when I
came and got you.

In your room.

There.

You heard her.

Claire, you can go back in.

'Well, we're still gonna have
to call Social Services.'

They're gonna have
to review this.

What? What do you think,
I coached her?

This is crazy.
Do whatever you have to do.

Just please take care
of my daughter.

This is your first
trauma with me.

- Watch and learn.
- Okay. Great.

Sixty-year-old belted passenger,
T-boned with intrusion.

Alert, tachy to 110.

Some guy ran a red light.

I didn't even see him coming.

Her son Chuck was walking

on scene, refused treatment.

I'm Dr. Brenner.
This is Dr. Martin.

Look, she's in a lot of pain.
How bad is she hurt?

Probable rib, humerus
and pelvic fractures.

None of that sounds
too serious. She'll be fine.

We need to do a complete exam
before assessing her prognosis.

How'd your respiratory
physiology exam go?

Uh, I think I flunked it.

I used to feel the same way
after every med school test.

Well, maybe I just
need a good mentor.

I hear you're
a real rock star.

- You did?
- Mm-hmm.

I've been looking for you.

- Judy's mom's outside.
- Oh, alright.

Well, good luck, and make sure
you come back after the game.

- What about pizza and a movie?
- That's not gonna happen.

I've instructed Judy's mom
to bring you back here after

the game and take that thing
out of your tongue.

- No.
- Yes!

- I'm not gonna do it.
- Take it out of your tongue!

I'm not gonna do it!

You're gonna do it
when you come back!

If I have to get
the pliers out..

[groans]

You need to have the talk.

No, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no.

Tony, if she's gonna
have oral sex..

La-la-la-la-
la-la-la-la.

She can get an STD.
Hey! It's not a joke.

I'm not laughing.

A woman should have
that talk with her.

In fact, why don't
you have the talk?

It's not my place.

Look, if-if Alex ever needs

to have the man talk

I'll return the favor.

Alex is 15.

I had that conversation

with him when he was ten.

- Ten?
- Yeah.

Isn't that a little young?

Trauma panel,
type and cross four.

C-spine, chest,
pelvis and left humerus.

Head CT, abdominal CT,
pelvic CT.

- Easy, Tracy.
- Foley, NG and..

Let's just start with the labs

and plain films first.

Where are you hurting,
Mrs. Holmes?

Everywhere.

Richard..

...call the insurance company.

Those jerks tried
to rip me off in '67.

Mom, it's Chuck.
You gotta calm down.

Flail chest on the right

decreased breath sounds.

BP is 95 over 60.

Somebody, turn on the grill.

'I was thinking about
making some brisket.'

(Chuck)
'She's got Alzheimer's.'

My mom can get loopy.

Okay.

Tracy, start a second line.

Do you want a subclavian?

Just a peripheral 18 gauge.

Has she had any other
medical problems?

No, she used to be
healthy as a horse.

Wouldn't even take aspirin.

'Loved the outdoors.'

'That's why I was taking
her for a drive.'

- 'BP's down to 80 systolic.'
- Okay, call Surgery.

She needs intubation,
chest tube, and central line.

Somebody, get the door.

Wow, this is
a great teaching case.

Where do you live,
Mrs. O'Fallon?

We just moved to Bridgeport.

The company that I work for
opened a new store there.

This is our third move
in two years.

Must be tough
relocating all the time.

No, it's not hard.
We travel well.

You know, everyone gets
mad at their kids.

What do you do when that
happens, Mrs. O'Fallon?

I, uh, count to ten.

Uh, I ask them to sit down

think about what they did,
and then we talk about it.

Hey, we're out of
suction catheters.

I'll be right back.

Do you ever
raise your voice?

Yeah. What, is that not allowed?

Have you ever
been physical with Julie?

Be honest. She's gonna
talk to both your kids.

Yeah, maybe once or twice,
when they weren't listening.

You know how
you grab a kid

say, "Stop touching the stove."

What was it like
when you did that?

- What do you mean?
- How did it make you feel?

Look, my father beat
the crap out of me.

And I wasn't gonna do
that to my girls.

[rapid beeping]

What's going on in there?

Sats are dropping.

I don't know what's wrong.

Do something.

I don't think she's breathing.

(Banfield)
'Pulse is weak and thready.'

'Cycle the dynamap.'

What's the story?

She's got a hemopneumothor--

MVA PSI,
hemopneumothorax

pubic ramus and
humerus fractures.

Okay, how's the belly?

FAST scan negative.

Were you drinking?
Is that how this happened?

- Someone hit us, dad.
- How do we know that?

Chest tube output?

- 300 cc's so far.
- Not so bad.

Did you give him
a Breathalyzer?

He's a drunk.

I've been clean
for eight months.

You haven't been clean
since you were 16.

(Dawn)
'Second two units are up.'

Okay, right-sided
rib fractures.

Probably the liver.

I looked, there's nothing there.

Yeah, let's look again.

Shouldn't we check the pelvis?

It's unlikely with
an anterior fracture.

- I think it's in the chest.
- Chest? Probably a contusion.

(Brenner)
'We need to think about
a right-sided thoracotomy.'

- You crazy?
- Right-sided?

It's not the chest.

Bradying down.

Give me the ultrasound.

- Heart rate 40.
- Amp of atropine.

Look at this. There's blood
pooling in the hemithorax.

- He's right. Thoracotomy tray.
- Neela?

(Tracy)
'We lost a pulse.'

Okay, start compressions.

If she's not okay...
so help me God.

(Taggart)
'Systolic's down to 70.'

Bolus 250 of saline.

- 'What's happening?'
- Pulse ox in the low 80s.

Think she dropped a lung?

- Is she dying?
- No.

Breath sounds good
bilaterally.

Call for
a portable chest.

Someone talk to me.

What about a fat embolus?

What is that?

Uh, when you break a large bone,
like she did in her thigh

fat from the bone marrow

'can travel up and
damage the lungs.'

- Okay.
- It can be very serious.

Why is she only
on 21 percent oxygen?

I had it at 100.

- Somebody turned off the O2.
- What?

I mean, that would explain it.

(Taggart)
'I had the rate at 16
after the ABG.'

Oh, God, please.

(Gates)
'Sure you didn't fiddle
with the FIO2?'

No. I mean,
I don't think so.

It is a touch screen,
though. I could've--

Has this happened before?

No.

Alright, repeat
a blood gas in 20 minutes.

Gates, recheck
Doppler pulses

in her foot and call Ortho

and see how long before
they can take her to the OR.

You people should
have been in here

instead of outside
grilling me.

I'm not so sure
if the mom pushed her.

You heard her.

Yeah, she said,
"She pushed me."

I think it
was the daughter.

- What, the 12-year-old?
- Mm-hmm.

The mother displays all the

classic signs of child abuse.

Unrealistic
expectations.

She moves around a lot.
She's unemployed.

- Dr. Gates.
- Depression.

She was abused as a child.

Did you see the
way she grabbed those kids?

I've seen it.
I grew up with it.

Okay, okay.

We'll let
Social Services decide.

Fine.

How's that board look?

Oh, we're down to 44
in the waiting room.

That's great. I mean,
it's usually closer to 100.

And, uh, two tele admissions
are going upstairs.

That'll free
up some beds.

- So what's up?
- No broken bones on the x-ray.

- Just a sprain.
- Should I get a stirrup?

No, an ACE bandage is fine.

You know the drill.
Ice, rest, elevation--

And early weight bearing

gives superior
functional results

compared to
immobilization.

2004, "Cochran Review."

Are you back in school
for physical therapy?

- Started a month ago.
- Great.

[sighs]
All set.

Well, it was, uh, great
seeing you again...Christine.

Hopefully you'll stay on
the pilates machine next time.

[laughing]
Uh, yeah, I'll try.

- Oh, here.
- Oh, uh, thank you.

Look, I was just
wondering if..

...maybe you
were free later.

Oh, um..

Well, I'm-I'm-I'm..

I'm flattered,
Christine, but, um..

we have a policy
against dating patients.

Technically,
she's my patient.

Yeah... well,
I'm sorry.

- 'I can't.'
- 'Dr. Morris?'

I can't.

Well..

Here.

If you change
your mind..

...call me.

Thank you.

What the hell
was that about?

(Rasgotra)
'Suction, Andrew.'

Let's hope we don't have
to access the aorta.

I'll divert the tube
to the left main stem.

(Andrew)
'Why would you do that?'

Makes it easier for Neela

to clamp the right hilum.

(Neela)
'Fifth unit is up.'

Okay...Satinsky to Neela.

That's better.

I see the hilum.

She's not perfusing.

And we're clamped.

- More suction.
- Breath sounds on the left.

Good call.
Looks dry.

- Heart rate up to 50.
- Got a femoral pulse.

- That's good, right?
- It's great.

- It's excellent.
- Okay, page Ortho.

We're gonna meet them
in the OR.

- Can we follow?
- You stay here.

Until you prove
you're not drunk

I don't want you
anywhere near your mother.

She likes salsa dancing
and screwball comedies.

You hurt her, I'll remove
your gallbladder.

- Not good.
- She implicated the mother?

Yells, loses her temper

from time to time,
spanks them.

I need to get Child
Protective Services involved.

Think you'll be able to
keep the kids together?

Since the dad's not in the
picture, Claire will probably

'go into foster care. By the
time her sister's released'

'maybe a relative
will step up and take them.'

If all goes well,
she'll be discharged in a week.

Great, I'll start the paperwork.

Well...that's settled.

This blood test will show
us your alcohol level.

Which will be zero.

Look, can you guys rush this

so my dad can calm down?

One test is not gonna
solve the problem.

Trust me, I know.

Alright,
you're all set.

Your mom will be out of
surgery in a couple hours.

I'll go get some coffee,
give my dad some space.

Hate to get all"Jerry Springer"
in the waiting room.

Thanks.

And back in Oz,
we don't waste

tax dollars
on family disputes.

We talk it out
over a beer.

[Tracy chuckles]

Well, that
was nice of you.

What's so funny?

Your accent.
It's cute.

I dated this guy
in New Zealand once.

I spent a summer
there in college

teaching Maori
kids science.

[chuckling]
New Zealand?

It's...it's
totally different.

Oh, well,
if you say so.

The shopping sucked.

Do you miss Sydney?

Every now and again.

Where are you from?

Newton, Mass.

You didn't want to
train at the Brigham?

No, I'm all about
Michigan Avenue.

Get Banfield!

[intense music]

My God, what happened?

Get security.

I saw a piece of
glass in Julie's leg

and I wanted to get it
out with the tweezers

but I wanted to sterilize
them with a flame first

so she didn't get an infection.

But I accidentally dropped
it on the bed sheet.

Take her to another room and

don't let her leave your sight.

Looks like 15 percent
body surface area

nothing circumferential.

'Let's go.'

I didn't mean it.
I was just helping!

What should I do?

Hang another liter of Ringer's.

Dr. Brenner,
call the burn unit.

And get back
to your other patients.

Who are you,
Stevie Wonder?

Did you see
her smile, her legs?

- Isn't she lovely?
- Forget lovely.

I'm not doing it.

Why? Give me
one good reason.

You're gay. Not that there's
anything wrong with that.

- I'm not gay.
- You're seeing someone.

- She..
- Impotent?

She's a patient.

A technicality.

Do it for the team.

Okay, here it is,
Sanchez, okay?

She's a call girl.

Yeah, a whore,
an escort.

So it's even better
than I thought.

[sighs]

We're all whores.

You prescribe antibiotics
from some drug companies

that give you stethoscopes
and free lunch...whore.

Hey, look.

I am done with
dating, Ryan.

The last girl
I really liked

took my heart
to Caracas.

So you're just gonna sit
on the sidelines forever?

Yeah, that's the plan.

- Then, I need another mentor.
- Why?

Because I want someone
who's well-rounded

and understands
interpersonal relationships.

I understand them.

Then, get in
the game, Archibald.

It's time.

Keep the Ringer's
at 85 cc's per hour.

Ortho's ready for her in the OR

and then she
has a burn unit bed.

Well, let's move her
to Surgery.

Why does she
need that?

They need
to pin the femur.

- 'She gonna be okay?'
- She's gonna be fine.

But we need to talk
about something else.

I'm afraid Claire

is a danger to others,
Mrs. O'Fallon.

No, it was an accident
like she said.

There was no glass
in Julie's leg.

How do you know
if her legs were burned?

- Look, I realize this is hard.
- Claire is a good kid.

Has she been depressed lately?

No. I mean, maybe a little.

Uh, her friend got hit
by a car last spring

but I thought
she was over that.

Someone from Psychiatry

needs to talk to her.

Why?

She's just acting out.

Well, we'll see if they agree.

And if they don't?

Then she might need to spend

some time in the hospital.

My kids are okay.

Claire's down the hall.

You're welcome
to go be with her.

You know, physical
and psychological things

can push kids to do
all kinds of stuff.

I know, Dr. Gates.

And if this woman
is hurting them

then all of this makes sense.

We're both trying to get
to the bottom of it.

Go clear some patients.

[siren wailing]

You score any goals?

They got to go get pizza
and see a movie

and I'm stuck here.

Why can't I go home?

You take that thing out?

No, it's my body

and I can do what
I want with it.

Sarah, I know it's your body.

This is something
we have to discuss.

You know, you're getting
to that age where you

you know, you're starting
to get curious about boys

and...sex.

What does a tongue stud
have to do with sex?

Come on, Sarah,
don't play dumb with me.

That's not why I got it.

Do you have a boyfriend?

No.

And I'm not having sex.

We thought it
would be fun.

I was gonna do my
belly button

but they bet me ten bucks
to do my tongue.

Well, I'll give you
20 bucks to take it out.

Tony.

Listen, I want you
to take that out

before you go back
to school Monday.

Fine.

I think you're overreacting.

I know this is weird.

You know, and it's weird
for me, too

but do me a favor.

Next time you think about..

...piercing something else
on your body or..

...if you wanna talk about sex

then you come to me, okay?

'Cause I'm here for you.

I'll just wait
over here.

Alright, give
me a minute.

You know, it killed me

to put her in a nursing home.

After a while,
I couldn't deny

that she put the eggs
in the hamper

ice in the microwave.

Alzheimer's is hard.

No, it kills you.

She doesn't remember
me half the time.

And him?

He can't even
help out.

His blood alcohol
level came back.

It was zero.

None detected.

The other driver ran a
red light, Mr. Holmes.

Now, I know your son's
made mistakes in the past

but let him show you
that he's changed.

He's trying.

- How is she?
- The surgery went well.

And we were able to repair
her pulmonary artery and vein.

Good...that's
good, right?

I mean, at her age,
her rehab could be a while

but she's already
starting to wake up.

Thank God.

When can I..

When can we see her?

Come on, I'll take you
to Recovery.

That seems like a cause
for a celebration.

"Bringing Up Baby"
is playing at the Limelight.

We should...we should go.

I...can't.
I'm working here late.

Or we could, we could
grab a quick coffee

at the Jumbo Mart.

Think of it as an olive branch.

Alright, coffee it is.

Great. I will meet you
out front in one hour.

Well, it's a good thing
you weren't seriously hurt.

Been a few muggings
recently in the area

that didn't end so well.

How much time
will he get for this?

Depends on his priors.

You'll be called
for a court date.

I don't have time
for court.

Unless he takes a deal

it's the only way
we can put him behind bars.

Here. If you have any
questions...call me.

Thanks.

How you doing?

I'm fine, Dr. Morris.

You know,
I don't get it.

You get mugged,
you beat him up.

You're injured, but you still
go through the day.

I don't buckle,
Dr. Morris.

Okay.

Sometimes you might wanna
give yourself a break.

[chuckling]
No.

'Cause then I might have
to give someone else one.

[door opens]

Just wait outside for me.

Mm-hmm, sure.

So how you doing, Claire?

I'm fine.

You know, you never told me
what grade you were in.

Sixth.

What do you think
of school?

It's boring.

You know, some kids,
when they're bored

they cut class.

I've never
done that.

Your mom said you did.

School's a waste of time.

I'm smarter
than most of the teachers.

[chuckles]

How do you and your sister
get along?

Okay.

She thinks she's going
to the Olympics.

What happens when you fight?

My sister and I
always fought.

It really sucks,
'cause she's always right.

She's little
Miss Perfect..

...and even if she starts it,
my mom always sides with her.

That must bug you.

It's every day.

If she breaks a plate,
it's because I bumped into her.

How do you get back
at someone for doing that?

Teach her a lesson.

By doing what?

Nothing.

Are you sure?

Claire, we have video cameras

in the ceilings
of our trauma rooms.

We saw you adjust
the ventilator

and light the sheet
on fire.

I didn't want
to kill her.

I just wanted to mess her up.

You did?

If she's in
the hospital

Mom will see what
a good girl I am.

She won't be blaming
me for everything.

Is that why you pushed
her off the wall?

Claire.

They're accusing your mother
of child abuse.

'Which means
she could go to jail'

'and your sister and you'

could both go
to foster homes.

Now...something tells me

that she doesn't hit you two

and she didn't push
your sister.

Did you do it, Claire?

Did you?

It was cool seeing
her lying there..

...all pale,
with blood coming out.

And then when
she couldn't move

and her legs
were getting burned..

...it was great.

That made you feel good?

Really good.

Hmm.

Well..

It'll probably be better

if you stay in the hospital
for a while.

Why? I'm not sick.

We just think
it would be a good idea.

No.

I won't.

I won't!

Wha..

No, I won't!

I won't! I won't!

- Claire, Claire!
- I got her.

'Get me a gurney!
Get me a gurney!'

- Mommy!
- Call the Psych ward!

Mommy, we can hang out now
that Julie is in the hospital.

What's happening?

Alright, Claire,
relax, come on.

- Mommy, help me!
- Claire, relax.

Let us take care
of her, Ms. O'Fallon.

Relax.
Get off of me!

.5 of Haldol, Ativan.

Get the hard restraints.

It's just
for a short time, right?

Then I can take her home soon.
She'll be alright.

I will kill you!

I will kill you!

I will kill you!

I'm gonna cut you up
into little pieces!

I can't remember
the last time

we did a right-sided
thoracotomy.

That guy's lucky
to be alive.

Well, I, uh, lost
a trucker in Sydney

with a right
hilar tear.

You miss it once,
you never forget.

I guess you're right.

We should go, uh,
salsa dancing sometime.

How do you know I like
dancing and old comedies?

I do my research.

We're just gonna
be friends.

I'm sorry if I gave you
the wrong impression.

What...you mean
sleeping with me?

An awkward shag...
on a horrible day

doesn't count as...
"sleeping with you."

It counts as poor judgment.

[sighing]
You romantic fool.

I thought we fit
well together.

Okay.

Alright. I'm not gonna hound
you. I'm not gonna beg.

But one day you will
wake up next to me

and you're gonna wonder

"How did this happen?"

and I'm gonna smile
and remind you

that I predicted this
over coffees

and chocolate-glazed doughnuts.

You're a cocky bastard.

Yeah, but I will
be a correct..

...cocky bastard, and that's
all that will matter.

You ready to go?

Are you alright?

Oh, Claire left
her coat down here.

You know, about
a month ago I, uh..

I caught her throwing
rocks at the neighbor's dog

and then a few days later,
she was trying to stick

a metal rod through one
of the fish in our tank.

And I just tried to
pretend it was normal.

You know, just
a kid acting out.

I don't get it.

Why her? Why our family?

I don't know.

That's all you can say?

'You can't lie to me'

'and tell me that
she's gonna be okay?'

That she's gonna grow up
to be a normal girl?

[chuckles]

I mean, that's why we
come here. To get answers.

You're gonna have
to do better than that.

I'm sorry. That's all I have.

Well, that's not
good enough, doctor.

That's not good enough.

[indistinct chattering]

[sighs]
