[Conrad] All we want to do is help our patients,

but what they don't teach us in med school is there are so many ways to do harm.

[Devon] Previously on The Resident…

-[Nic] His surgery was cancelled. -They can't.

Yes, they can.

[Conrad] Is your pride really worth more than the life of a patient?

Chief of Surgery, Resident. Try to remember that.

You don't have the right to play God, Conrad.

[Austin] There's always art balanced with science.

-[Conrad] Kid okay? -[Mina] Just worried about him.

Fortunately, I happen to be Rembrandt.

I think Lane's over-treating her patients, including Lily.

We have to do something about Lane.

We're gonna find out what it is. Together.

We need to have a physician running Chastain.

The CEO will see you now.

[scoffs]

[thunder rumbling]

[keys jingling]

-Guess who's on a break? -Me.

[laughs] Yeah, you and me.

Chastain can take care of itself. Our downtime is finally synced up.

Has been a while.

The patients are fine, one quick page away,

which is why I've taken it upon myself to acquire these beauties.

In the interest of time?

Our chief resident Dr. Benjamin's at a medical convention in Denver.

These keys are to his office.

-With a sofa and a locking door? -A shower and a locking door.

[Mina] Secret admirer?

Someone's getting jealous?

They're for you,

but Phoebe in the flower shop does have eyes for me.

I may have flirted my way to a discount.

-Phoebe, huh? -Yeah.

-Half Asian girl with… -High-pitched voice, drenched in perfume.

I know Phoebe.

And I admire her work, but this was unnecessary.

Well, my perfectly stitched heart begs to differ.

Can you stay?

[Mina chuckles]

I wish I could, but I have a case.

Newborn, sick heart the size of a walnut.

We have to reroute blood flow so she can get oxygen.

She's extremely high risk.

[baby crying]

What are her odds?

Well, a part of Mabel's heart is underdeveloped,

the defect is more severe than we thought.

Without surgery, two days tops.

With surgery, she's got a real shot.

Yeah, a long shot.

Mr. Thoms, your wife brought these beautiful twins into this world together.

It's my mission to reunite them in a few hours,

and I am not in a losing mood.

Rarely am I.

[Jason] I feel dizzy.

Hey, stay calm.

Okay? Just stay calm. Stay cool.

Your pulse is ridiculously high.

Look at me. We can't have you stroking out

before I bring Mabel back to her brother Matt.

You hear me?

-Help is on the way. -Yeah.

-Let's go. -Okay.

[Connie] Today, a once-prominent Atlanta oncologist Dr. Lane Hunter

was arraigned on one charge of murder

and 12 charges of insurance fraud and money laundering.

Dr. Hunter is accused of fraud and murder.

She provided false medical information to cancer patients

in order to charge them thousands of dollars

in unnecessary chemotherapy.

Did you take a shower?

Don't worry about it.

Where did you take a shower?

-[Conrad] Mr. Thoms, Dr. Hawkins. -[baby crying]

-This is Dr… -Pravesh.

We met in the ER when my wife came in.

-How's she doing? -She's resting.

I'm gonna head back down shortly, check on her.

Stopped by to make sure you're feeling okay.

BP a little high?

-Hey, have a seat. -[baby continues crying]

Any palpitations?

My baby girl's in the OR,

my baby boy won't stop crying, [chuckles]

labor almost killed my wife, now she's in the ICU.

Yes. Palpitations.

BP's 180 over 120.

Normal protocol would be to send you down to the ER for observation.

-There's no way I'm leaving my son. -[Conrad] We get it.

But there's a rule against dads having heart attacks in the NICU.

Let's run some labs, get an EKG, start you on some BP meds,

make sure that doesn't happen.

What do you say?

Okay.

-Yeah? All right. -Okay.

Oh, I want that check in on my wife.

[Melanie exhales] Dr. Pravesh.

Melanie. Welcome back.

You gave us quite a scare. You lost a lot of blood during delivery.

How are you feeling?

How are my babies?

Mabel?

As you know, Mabel has hypoplastic left heart syndrome.

Prenatal imaging can only tell us so much.

So we didn't know the severity of her heart deformity until she was born.

Is she okay?

I haven't even met her yet.

[Devon] Soon after birth she was taken into surgery,

but I assure you that she is in the best possible hands.

[scrubbing hands]

Dr. Sharavino called, said you're having another flare. What's going on?

Oh, fever, body aches, eh, the usual.

Our mom also had Lupus,

which led to kidney failure and then she died,

so "the usual" can be fatal in our family.

We'll be extra careful.

-Any, um, sore throat, congestion? -I'm peeing a lot. A little pain.

We'll definitely run your blood work,

but if it's like your last three admissions, it'll be a UTI,

so we'll get you started on doxycycline to make sure

it doesn't turn into a kidney infection.

-She has a mild allergy… -To doxycycline.

An antihistamine should help head off the hives you got on your last visit.

-Yeah, will a doctor be in soon… -Be back shortly.

Can you get off that thing for a second?

I would, but it's more interesting than you.

Run this blood work. Thanks.

[devices crackle]

[hissing]

Hot, hot, hot. Hot!

[devices beeping]

[Connie] Legal experts note that if Dr. Hunter were found guilty,

she may face the death--

[devices beeping]

[alarms blaring]

[all clamoring]

[crying]

Bypass.

[EKG flatlines]

Scalpel.

Thank you.

[Austin] Ready

Here we go.

[machines powering down]

[machines beeping]

[opening theme music playing]

[baby crying]

[Jason] Will Matt be okay? Will Mabel?

Is she… She in surgery? Do they have power?

Is she okay? What's happening with Mabel?

Mabel's with the best surgeons I know. Matt will be fine.

What about these babies? Are they all right?

They're gonna be fine, stay calm. I got this.

Matt stopped crying. Why isn't he crying anymore?

Get me an Ambu-bag.

[nurse] I'm on it.

Got it.

[doctor] Patient's spiking a fever. Can you check again?

[machine whirring]

[Jason] He could've died. What is going on?

The power went out. Likely due to the storm.

Backup power kicked on now. It's limited.

We've got emergency lights, necessary equipment.

-We're good to go. You okay? -Yeah, yeah.

All right.

[babies crying]

[sighs] Took too long for those generators to come on.

That wasn't cool.

I'm going to the basement, make sure everything's okay.

Until full power's restored, revert back to standard triage protocol.

Put the sickest together, get ready to evacuate if needed.

Find me if he has a heart attack.

[Nic] Gather around.

We're operating on backup power now, so no computers, no digital charts

and the paper ones are buried in the basement,

so write pertinent information on each patient.

Write clearly, write concisely.

Follow me.

5920, monitor urine output, we need him peeing like a champ.

5921, alcohol withdrawal, taper diazepam.

5918, do not ask about the cats, it gives him PTSD.

5917, check vitals every 30 minutes. Come on, keep up.

Dr. Bell, should we deploy emergency protocols A or B?

Dr. Bell, all computer systems are down.

Dr. Bell, trauma is completely jammed.

Is that why you're not taking any patients from ER?

-You have a better solution? -We're almost at capacity down there.

Dr. Bell, Ortho has a dozen scheduled cases.

…computer systems are down.

[Whitley] Mr. Bell, why is this happening?

It's Dr. Bell. I recommend thinking before you speak.

If that's too much of a challenge, don't speak.

There's a massive storm outside, the power grid is down,

there's a team working with the city to get it restored ASAP.

The fire department is on their way to help with emergency power.

Treat all current trauma patients then shut it down.

ER stays open to capacity, let me know the second that happens.

Ortho hits pause, don't cancel a single surgery.

Slide them an hour, when we're back up, start cutting.

All hands on deck.

Focus, communicate.

The hospital and our patients will be fine.

Decisions go through me.

Get back out there.

Albert, why are you here?

In regards to the trauma center, we can consider a better option…

Not unless you want a one-way ticket to Caracas

as your last stop on the surgical train.

Leave.

[Austin] You know, policy dictates that we abandon surgery

until full power is restored.

-[Mina] Closing now is a death sentence. -[Austin] No doubt.

But legally, maybe Mabel was simply

a sad casualty of unfortunate circumstances.

What to do, what to do?

[Mina] Don't be dramatic. You know what we're gonna do.

[Austin] Oh, look who put their big girl pants on today.

Okafor,

if we continue and Mabel doesn't survive,

coin toss at this point,

are you willing to lay your head next to mine

as Bell lowers a steel blade to the back of our beautiful ebony necks?

Gladly.

Is there anyone here who is more concerned with their career

than saving Mabel's life? Quick show of hands.

Nurse What's-Your-Name, set the timer for 40 minutes.

Yes, Doctor.

Dr. AJ Austin's Lonely Heart Club Band plays on.

Backup power in the ICU isn't working.

-I'm going to the basement. -I was there, not good.

Get back to the ICU, start triaging for evacuation.

-What's going on? -Just go.

We're stuck between floors.

I'm claustrophobic.

And you got on an elevator.

Well, my bathmophobia is worse.

-I don't know what that is. -[sighs]

It's the fear of stairs and… [hesitating] And steep slopes.

[muttering] Steep slopes.

Oh, my God, it's hot in here.

It seems Mother Nature has gifted us with some mood lighting tonight.

-The storm knocked out the power? -Yes.

And unfortunately has held up Dr. Sharavino.

But not to worry. I will be with you your entire stay.

Hold up. Is her lab work back yet or…

Not until the power's back,

but knowing Joplin's history, we have a good course of treatment.

No offense, but my sister needs to see a doctor, not a nurse.

Your sister needs an antibiotic

to treat a UTI that is quickly becoming a kidney infection.

And I diagnosed it, so I will treat it.

If I need to tag in an attending, I will do that.

Mmm, badass. I like her.

You're also gonna have to stay the night for observation.

I dropped out of college and have no future plans, so all good.

Here's your antibiotic, I'll be back in a bit.

I didn't know nurses do all that.

I'm a Nurse Practitioner.

We do most things doctors do, just with better bedside manner.

[Austin] Storm still a-raging.

I like storms. It's Earth's way of venting.

Poltergeist. They have some big-ass storms in that movie. [chuckles]

Yeah, when that tree came alive and snatched that kid off the bed,

I was like, "Yo, Spielberg knows what's up."

[Mina] How much time do the generators give us?

[Austin] Could be four hours, could be two. Hard to tell.

That's your estimate, isn't it? For the backup generators?

[Austin] Uh, give or take.

-Emphasis on take. -How do you know that?

I've never worked at a hospital that's done proper generator maintenance.

And maybe Chastain will surprise me.

-Where's your money? -Thirty-four minutes. [chuckles]

There's enough time for the first phase, then close after we place the graft.

Now you're being dramatic.

It's trust.

If all goes well, without one single hiccup,

we will sail through this painfully intricate surgery

by the skin of our teeth.

Suction.

Every moment we turn away or transfer patients, we hemorrhage money.

Atlanta General and Emory are still fully functioning.

The storm hasn't affected them, so worst case scenario…

Is happening now.

Dr. Hawkins, this is a strategy session for department heads only.

[Conrad] Half the generators are down.

And the ICUs, they don't have any backup power.

-How many patients on life support? -Thirty six.

There are six empty beds in Neuro with backup power. The others…

We don't start relocating them to different hospital…

Yeah, I know. They'll die.

Time to start an evacuation.

Ah, look at that. Perfect fit.

I'll hold it steady, you start the proximal anastomosis.

-[Mina] Without video assist? -[Austin] Yep.

[Mina] I can't get good visualization.

If I'm a millimeter off, that's a hiccup we can't afford.

[Austin] That's why the sutures must be spaced closely together in the corners.

-This area here is prone to bleeding. -[Mina] I think I've got it.

[Austin] Of course you got it. Now keep stitching.

[Mina] We need to know what's happening out there.

[Austin] Dr. Okafor, I need you to focus.

Nurse, grab the house phone.

Make a quick call and update on all things Chastain.

Specifically ICU room 3124, Micah Stevens.

[Mina] That's not necessary!

[Austin] We'll check on playboy, cross your worry off your to-do list.

[Mina] I do not have a to-do list.

[Austin] Liar, liar, scrubs on fire. You have a list, you checked it twice,

and now it's scratching the surface of your brain space.

-[Mina] Stop! -[Austin] Hell no!

Your inability to quell your concern for teacher man

could distract you enough to make the slightest of mistakes.

Not on my watch, princess.

Are you waiting for the world to change, or what?

Make the call!

[line dialing]

[line ringing]

[telephone ringing]

ICU.

Yeah, we're doing okay down here.

Micah? Yeah. Tell Mina he's fine and he's staying.

-I will. -[receiver clacks]

-Mina's in the OR. She's fine. -Good.

-[Melanie] No. Are you out of your mind? -No, Ms. Thoms.

You take your marker and change this "go" to a "no way in hell."

Melanie, calm down.

-Need a hand over there? -No, I got it covered.

-Ma'am, this is in your best interest. -Her baby girl is in the OR.

I got to get 30 heads out of here.

She's one of them. She's on oxygen. I don't have a choice.

Why don't you just let me…

Put her on portable oxygen, take Mr. Sykes.

TBI after an MVC. Barb coma for a week.

[scoffs] Bell will lose his mind.

That Barb coma has already billed a quarter mil.

Wow, Bolton. Really?

Bell freaks, it's on you.

Yeah, I'll take it.

Dr. Pravesh and Hawkins are needed in the ER, 911.

I'll take care of Melanie. Go.

-I need a tank. -[woman] Right away.

Yes, sir. I understand.

Yes, I told him already. Hold please.

Eastside General has power and open beds.

There is no Eastside General.

There's Atlanta General and Eastside Medical. Which is it?

Just ask.

Oh, no. This is an incoming call. It's Marshall Winthrop.

Return.

But he's the chairman of the board, and he's called three times.

You can inform Conrad Hawkins' dad I'm a little busy.

He can wait. Indefinitely.

[Charles] It's not the storm.

Our problem has nothing to do with the electric grid.

Chastain is under attack from cyber-pirates.

Pirates? That can't be a thing.

Classic move from an organized foreign crime syndicate.

They paralyze an institution, cause disruption, ask for a ransom.

-You don't have security in place? -[Charles] Yes.

But it needs an upgrade,

which I'd mentioned multiple times and the administration ignored.

The upgrade you proposed took us offline for days.

We can't afford that kind of shutdown.

Well, now we're shut down anyway.

Yeah… [exhales sharply]

How much will it cost,

and how long will it take for you to fix this?

There's no way to tell.

The attack program that hacked in keeps replicating.

So if you want to get this done quickly,

your best bet is to pay their ransom when the demand comes in.

Your professional IT advice is to wait and pay?

Yes.

Goodbye.

What?

[Hundley] You can't come in.

-Hundley, talk to me. -We're at capacity.

Eight-year-old. Gunshot wound to the abdomen.

Hypotensive and tachy.

I'm afraid, man. He's dying.

Dr. Bell made the call. We're closed to trauma.

Make room for one more.

You don't understand what's going on down here.

There are no working ORs, and this boy needs surgery.

We have no way to help him. He won't make it to another hospital alive.

Zero chance he makes it to another hospital alive,

so we roll the dice here. Audra, I need an airway.

Check his breathing, heart rate, BP. Page Nolan.

Pagers aren't working. Conrad, we can't save him here.

Just get me Nolan.

Park him there.

How'd you find him?

Returning my rig, I saw the kid on the side walk.

I was only a block away, man. I didn't know you guys were closed.

It's my first week. He's my first kid. I can't lose him.

You made the right call.

One, two, three.

I need a trauma surgeon, now!

[exhales]

There's blood entering his abdominal cavity.

No breath sounds on the left side.

-Where's Nolan? -We're getting him.

Thready pulse. He'll code.

Get me a sterile blade and a thoracotomy kit.

Right now, this isn't your fault, but if you cut and he dies, it's on you.

Don't risk it.

Ten blade.

[exhales sharply]

Are we really doing this?

[scalpel clatters]

[grunts softly]

His pulse is stronger.

Get Nolan down here now. I need help stopping this bleeding.

-What the hell have you done? -The kid was dying. I had to cut.

You never have to cut. You're not a surgeon.

You don't make the decision to cut.

I decide that.

As his doctor, I decided to save his life by any means necessary. Feel free to help.

[Nolan] Begin the transfusion protocol.

Hang four units O-neg, now.

-We have to get him up to an OR. -No. The generators are busted.

The entire OR is about to be pitch black, so there's no OR to send him to.

He's not stable enough to transport to another hospital.

-Do the surgery here. -There's not enough room.

It's not sterile. And it's about to be pitch black.

What's this? Where are you going? Is this cut and run?

-Where are you going? -To build an OR.

There's no viable ORs? Can't do the surgery?

I'll build you an OR. Did it all the time in Afghanistan.

You just keep that kid alive. Come on.

All right.

Give me four units of O-neg and a cooler on standby.

Time to head out. If word gets out this is happening, it might not be good.

Head up to the ICU, they need you up there.

Pressure's stable. 100 over 60.

Good. We got a fighting chance.

[Nolan] Depends on what we find in his abdomen.

-Scalpel, please. -[EKG beeping]

Why are all these patients moving?

With an extended power outage,

we have to move life support patients to different facilities.

-Joplin needs something? -No. I owe you an apology.

-Don't worry about it. -No. Earlier I was rude. I just…

Ever since our mom died, I feel such a responsibility

to help Joplin be the best and the healthiest,

and I am babbling, and you are very busy.

Um, just, you are beyond capable, and I'm really sorry.

You were being protective of your sister. I get it.

She's lucky to have you.

[Mina] We're not gonna make it. You should take over stitching.

[Austin] No. Yours are pretty perfect.

I'm only half done with the graft. You're faster.

If that were true, I'd be doing them.

Perfusionist, get out the manual crank.

[Sylvie] Power's running out?

We'll have no lights, no suction, no perfusion.

Party people, it's time for you to get in touch

with your not-so-secret love for the Sugarhill Gang.

Why? Because in less than eight minutes,

we are not just going old school, we are going OG, baby.

[Irving] Calm breath out.

-[breathing heavily] -Imagine someplace peaceful.

A bubbling brook.

You're not helping.

-What's your happy place? -[grunts]

Happy. Think happy.

Can I put my head in your lap?

-Please. -Sure.

[groans]

Okay.

[exhales]

[whispers] Why me?

-Okay. -Okay.

-[exhales] -[Irving] Yeah.

-Better? -[clears throat] Mm-hmm.

[Nolan] Looks like our bullet nicked his descending aorta and his spleen.

-[Conrad] Can you repair it? -[Nolan] Depends what I find in there.

[Bell] So, just to clarify, am I firing all of you

because an internist accepted a trauma patient

after the hospital was closed to all ambulance traffic?

Or because a doctor took it upon himself to cut a kid open with no working ORs?

He wasn't gonna survive transport, so I made the call.

[Nolan] I'm the attending trauma surgeon on deck.

I made the decision to keep him and cut.

He had seconds to live. At least now he's got a fighting chance.

You had no faith in the first responders to keep him alive…

[Conrad] I've been a first responder at a war front,

his wounds are up there with any artillery damage.

He was bleeding out. He had seconds.

[Nolan] It's like Niagara Falls.

The aortic damage makes it almost impossible to stop this bleeding.

Can you use an extra set of hands?

[Conrad] Dr. Bell,

this is one life.

At the command center, you're saving many lives.

[Charles] Dr. Bell.

I'm sorry to interrupt, but this is urgent.

Well, spit it out.

It's not a foreign cybercrime ring.

The IP address that launched the malware came from inside Chastain.

Are you kidding me? This isn't the storm?

How long have you known?

We're being attacked by one of our own?

That's exactly what I'm telling you.

[Lora] Hey, it's Mabel's dad. I found him collapsed.

He's been vomiting, he's weak, disoriented.

[Devon] I treated him for severe hypertension.

Jason, have you eaten?

With his high BP from this morning, I'm afraid he's having a stroke.

We need to get him up to CT for imaging. I'll handle him here.

Run to imaging, force your way to the front,

-and throw elbows if you have to. -[Lora] Okay, you know I will.

All right, you are going to be in position for a long time,

so I suggest you get your stretch on.

Thirty-seven seconds and counting.

Nervous nurse, when you crank, you are this baby's heart. You hear me?

You are responsible for circulating

oxygen-rich blood through all of her tiny organs.

So feel the heart.

Be the heart.

Now, say it with me.

[tentatively] Feel the heart. Be the heart.

Louder, so I can believe you.

[loudly] Feel the heart. Be the heart.

Better. Not great.

Ten seconds.

-[Austin] All right, position for lights. -[Mina] Seven. Six. Five. Four. Three.

[Austin] Here we go.

[Sylvie] Be the heart. Feel the heart.

Be the heart. Feel the heart.

-Go for perfusion. -Feel the heart. Be the heart.

Feel the heart. Be the heart.

-Suction. -Feel the heart. Be the heart.

Feel the heart. Be the heart.

A hacker tried to get into our system before.

Almost released a worm a couple months ago.

It's hard to believe that one of us would do this.

-[banging] -Is it, though?

Oh, God, what is that banging?

Come on, come on, come on.

-Linda, need some help? -I am sick of this crap! [kicks]

-My patient needs sedation. -All right. There's a trick.

When they brought these computers, they said life would be easier.

My day got an hour longer

and I get to spend even less time with my patients. [sighs]

-That works when there's power. -This works when there's no power.

[grunts]

-You've done that before. -[Linda] Yeah. You know what?

Smash all the computerized do-dads and gizmos. I won't tell anybody.

Maybe we can start looking people in the eye instead of staring at screens.

Hey, I'm not bitter.

Yes, I am.

I mean, she's not wrong.

You think she knows to write computer code?

[Nic sighs] Definitely not.

You said the hackers tried to shut us down before. Do we have dates?

I mean, we can see who was working on those days and go from there.

No, no, no. Don't tell me.

-Dr. Pravesh, no more power. -CTs are shut down until further notice.

You got to be kidding me.

-You got a generator in your pocket? -Oh, come on.

-Dr. Wilson. -Make it good, Pravesh.

Blood pressure's been 180 over 120 all day.

Weak, vomiting, abdominal pain. Good enough?

Good catch. Could be a hemorrhagic stroke.

Get him over to Atlanta General ASAP for a CT to confirm.

I'll call ahead and have neuro waiting.

-Helipad. Go. -[Lora sighs]

Your wife and children are in good hands.

We got to get you checked out before things get worse, okay?

Let's go, let's go, let's go.

Wait, hold on.

[Lora] Oh, my God.

What?

-Get me a BP and a blood sugar reading. -Okay.

[Jason groans]

Squeeze my hands. Squeeze them.

We're ready to take off.

-I need just a second. Okay, smile for me. -It's okay.

Pupils reactive.

If we don't go while there's a break, we don't get out.

Blood sugar is 88. BP 90 over 50.

His blood pressure is dropping. He's having an anaphylactic reaction.

You sure? It looked like a stroke.

It presented with GI symptoms,

so I didn't catch it at first, but I am sure.

So, is he staying or going?

He's staying.

[Jason choking]

Jason, Jason, what are your allergies?

Hey! Do you have any epi?

Peanut butter, kale, honey, broccoli.

It's okay. It's okay.

-[gags] -[Devon] Come on.

[coughs, inhales]

Mangos. [coughs]

I'm allergic to mangos.

-Second to last ingredient. -[Lora] Oh, my God.

Jason, you're gonna be okay.

[exhales]

All right, let's see what's going on.

[Rachel] Any good drugs?

Can I get in on the fun?

There you go, sister. Ready to relax and explore your humanity. [laughs]

[Nic] Okay.

Hmm.

Is there something wrong?

Joplin, where are the pills I gave you earlier?

In my belly.

Try again, because you have an allergy to doxycycline,

and I haven't given you an antihistamine yet.

And I'm seeing no hives, no reaction, so clearly you didn't take the pills.

Okay, Nancy Drew.

You're right. I flushed the antibiotics down the toilet.

What?

If you're not gonna do what they say, why are we even at the hospital?

Joplin, what are you doing on your phone in the middle of the night?

Just texting, Instagramming?

No, she writes code for different apps. It doesn't pay much, but it's something.

What were you studying when you dropped out of college?

Software engineering at MIT. What's going on?

Better question is why I'm not at MIT anymore.

Answer, hospital bills so crippling,

I had to drop out and she had to declare bankruptcy.

Are you faking symptoms to be here?

We want less hospital, not more. Why would she fake her symptoms?

Because I think she hacked into our system to shut us down.

That's crazy. Joplin…

This isn't the first time someone's hacked our computer.

The attack started on July 4th. You were here then.

Is this true?

Did you do this?

-Why? Why would you do… -Are you kidding me?

Medical bills ruined us. Chastain ruined us.

I can't get the job I want without that degree from MIT.

-We are making it work. -We are barely getting by.

You're working two jobs to make payments to Chastain for my bill.

And for what? So the hospital can get rich?

Damn right I hacked into the billing department.

To get our lives back, wipe our slate clean.

The billing department?

No, your cyber-attack is responsible for this entire power outage.

Not possible. The code I created was only to wipe out billing.

Whatever you intended, it did a hell of a lot more than that.

You severed our connection to the grid.

-You said that was the storm. -We were wrong.

Well, I messed up. It must have…

People's lives are in danger because of you.

[hesitating] I can try to fix it. Let me try to fix it.

[typing]

If she can fix this, do you have to tell anyone what happened?

You saw the damage her virus caused.

Joplin's a good person who did something stupid.

Young people do dumb stuff.

I hear you, but let's focus on getting the hospital back up and running.

Look, I know I'm asking for too much, but so far no one's gotten hurt, right?

We are barely surviving as it is.

-I honestly don't know how… -[sighs]

Please, I know this is bad.

Here. Uh, it's a full backup of… Of the hospital computers I made

before I did what I should've never done.

All hackers make them, in case.

Give it to IT. They'll know what to do.

I deserve whatever happens to me, but Rachel didn't know anything.

Make sure they know that. And that I'm sorry. I really am.

I'll pass that along.

God. I'm sorry.

[Nic] I gave the drive to IT. Power's being restored now.

Bell doesn't need to know that yet.

No. We're gonna lie to help Joplin out.

I like the way you think. I'm in.

[Conrad] We can get the antidote to the malware.

The person is remorseful

and asking for leniency before they hand it out.

-Blackmail. -Oh, let's just call it negotiating.

[Bell] What are we talking about?

A nurse demanding more mental health days?

Some millennial intern's crusade for more açai bowls in the cafeteria?

A patient, whose life was destroyed by Chastain.

And a PR nightmare.

Don't need another one of those.

Chastain's computers were vulnerable. Our generators weren't up to code.

-Not my fault. -Press won't see it that way.

Patients' lives were in jeopardy.

It's unlikely they'll put the blame on Charles the IT guy.

What is it with you two?

Sticking your necks out for some patient you just met a few hours ago? Seriously?

Chastain shined during a crippling power outage

-likely caused by… -[sighs]

…bad weather.

And a young patient's life isn't completely ruined.

That's a win-win.

Well, a nice try, but hacking into a hospital database,

cutting off its power, endangering countless lives.

I need a name.

-We're not asking for anonymity. -We're just asking for leniency.

[sighs]

Well, handling this quickly and quietly is in everyone's best interest.

So, deal?

Yeah.

[Austin] Wait for it.

Wait for it.

[machines whirring]

-[Austin] Ah. -[machines beeping]

And then there was light, and he saw that it was good.

[Nolan] We saved that kid's life. He's gonna make it, by the way.

Sure you're gonna make it?

That improv surgery is the craziest thing I've ever done.

I don't know whether to thank you or to punch you.

Hey. I carried a fully grown man up three flights of stairs today.

And you're telling me this, why?

[sighs] Because I broke a sweat,

and you know where there's a secret shower.

[sucks teeth, grunts]

Dr. Benjamin's office. You earned these today.

But you didn't get them from me.

You have my word.

You do know Benjamin is back in the office now?

-Good. -[elevator dings]

What happened in the elevator stays in the elevator.

[chuckles] Not something I'd want to advertise.

Right.

[Devon] Looks good.

[chuckles] Make sure he takes it easy for the next few days.

Not sure that's how this new dad thing works. [chuckles]

I've got my eye on him. I'll keep him in line.

I thank you, Dr. Pravesh. We can't thank you enough.

Mr. and Mrs. Thoms. Someone here is excited to see you.

[Mina] Your daughter's a warrior.

We repaired her heart, and it's even stronger than we expected.

[baby crying]

-[Mina] How long has he been crying? -Since they took Mabel for surgery.

Nothing has calmed him.

[crying continues]

I have an idea.

Until today, these babies shared a womb.

They don't know an existence without the touch of the other.

Then they were thrust into a huge, cold world alone.

They missed each other.

Everything is gonna be A-okay.

[crying continues]

I don't think it's working.

Give it a moment.

♪ My sunshine, my only sunshine ♪

♪ You make me happy ♪

♪ When skies are gray… ♪

[crying stops]

[parents gasping]

♪ Please don't take my sunshine away… ♪

[whimpers softly]

♪ The other night, dear ♪

♪ As I lay sleeping… ♪

How's the baby?

Resting comfortably.

How are you?

It feels like I'm never getting out.

♪ I was mistaken ♪

♪ So I hung my head and I cried ♪

[elevator dings]

[indistinct announcement]

-You're fired. -What?

-I just saved your neck. -You risked. I saved. Get out.

[scoffs]

First thing tomorrow, we need…

You're wholly incompetent.

Meaning?

You're fired. Talk to HR about severance.

[sighs]

Dr. Bell?

You wanted to see me?

Great save today.

[chuckles] Thank you. It's days like this…

Cut the crap and tell me exactly what happened in the ER.

Who was there?

Who made the first cut, you or Conrad Hawkins?

[Conrad] My place?

I don't know. I'm so tired.

We'll be sleeping like babies before you know it.

That sounds amazing.
