171. The gentleman's wife showed up and there was no one to help her.

172. I'm not his wife. I hit him. It was an accident. I didn't even see him.

173. Randi, can you sit this woman down in the hall, please?

174. - Is he gonna be all right? - Ma'am, ma'am, this way.

177. No good deed goes unpunished.

178. I step in, I clean up your mess, and I end up named in your lawsuit.

185. When his lawyers get through, you'll be lucky to sling fish and chips.

186. I thought the procedure had gone smoothly.

187. Well, it was a screaming success if your desired outcome was paralysis.

188. I'll talk to Risk Management so you're not implicated.

189. - Are you almost through? - One minute, love.

190. Do not talk to Risk Management.

191. Do not discuss this case with anyone. Am I clear?

192. Yes.

193. Surfer.

194. Couldn't be just some fat-assed couch potato.

195. And don't even think about paging me during the weekend.

204. Time of death, 10:57.

207. - Ma'am? - Yes?

208. The man on the bicycle was profoundly injured.

209. We did everything we could, but he didn't respond to the treatment.

210. Oh, God!

211. He died a few minutes ago.

212. My baby was crying and I turned around. I didn't see him.

213. - I'm sorry. - God, I didn't see him!

215. - I didn't see him. - It was raining.

216. - It wasn't your fault. It's all right. - My God!

217. It's all right.

218. - You didn't see him. - Oh, my God!

219. It was raining. You didn't see him.

220. - I thought you quit. - I did.

221. Then my mother showed up.

222. - Is she going back? - Yeah.

223. Think it'll ever stop?

224. What?

225. The rain.

226. Has to stop eventually.

227. I hope so.

228. I'm telling you, my knee still hurts like a son of a bitch.

229. That's why you're going to X-ray, Mr. Florea. Conni? Can you take him up?

230. - Call Transport. - They're short-staffed.

231. I'm suffering. Stop torturing me.

232. Yeah, yeah. Catch you later when you get back with your films.

233. Excuse me. I'm looking for Dr. Chen. Is she working today?

234. She's with a patient. Just take a seat in Chairs.

235. Thanks.

236. - Hello. - Hi.

237. - Do you work here? - No. These? I got caught in the rain.

238. - My daughter works here. - So does mine.

239. - Really? - Jing-Mei Chen.

240. The cute one. Pregnant.

241. - What? - You must be thrilled.

242. I would be so excited if one of my children made me a grandmother.

243. I don't think of myself as old enough to be a grandmother. But I am.

244. You must be thinking of someone else.

245. Jing-Mei!

246. Mommy.

247. - Oh, my God! - What are you doing here?

248. I wanted to invite you for Thanksgiving dinner.

249. - Why didn't you tell us? - Because I didn't know how.

250. Come home tonight.

251. - Is everyone coming? - Yes.

252. No, Mommy. Not with all those people there. Please.

253. - They're your family. - I can't.

254. - Please? - No, I just can't.

255. - No, please. - I need a hand in Exam 1.

256. I gotta go. Don't tell Ba-Ba.

257. - We miss you. - I know.

258. You looked like you needed some help.

259. - Thank you, Carter. - No problem.

260. Did you page me? I've got an appy in 10 minutes.

261. Debby Marlin is here. You operated on her last year for breast cancer.

262. - What's she doing back? - She's in pain. Mets to the spine.

263. Thought you'd like to know.

264. - Hi, Dr. Benton. - Hey. How are you doing?

265. Terrible. I went to my pharmacy this morning...

266. and they told me they couldn't refill my morphine prescription.

267. Why not?

268. Well, they don't carry narcotics anymore. Too many robberies.

269. I gave her a shot of morphine but it's barely taken the edge off.

270. All right. Let me see. How much did you give her?

271. Ten.

272. You contacted your oncologist?

273. I just got the service. He's away for the holiday weekend.

274. All right. Come on. All right. Give her another 10.

275. If she's feeling better, send her home with Percocet.

276. You mean I have to come all the way back here tomorrow for my medicine?

277. I'm sorry, the outpatient pharmacy's closed today.

278. Can we admit her for pain control?

279. Yeah. Yeah, all right.

280. Let's admit her to Medicine.

281. - Thank you, Dr. Benton. - You're welcome.

282. The weasel warned me not to speak to anyone.

283. - Are you gonna listen? - Do I have a choice?

284. - You're being sued. You must respond. - Romano insisted he'd handle it.

285. Yeah, sure. Cover his ass and hang you out to dry.

286. Let me talk to my buddy Dave Medler. He's in Risk Management.

287. - Off the record. See what he thinks. - Thanks.

288. - You look tired. - So do you.

289. - I shouldn't be dragging you into this. - We're getting married, okay?

295. I'll wait for dinner. Any ETA on my x-rays?

296. - No. - I got three patients waiting.

297. - There's only one file clerk. - You don't look that busy.

298. - You want to cover the phones? - I'll get the x-rays myself.

299. You all right?

300. - Look at her sitting there. - How long will you make her wait?

301. - She should be on a bus. - Will you talk to her?

302. I've talked to her all my life. There's nothing to say.

303. Would you call Security to move her out?

304. - Security? - What?

305. - Abby. Abby. Abby, listen. - No! What are you trying to prove?

306. - You' re my daughter. I care about you. - Do you mind?

307. - I'll take my medicine, I'll get a job. - That's not gonna happen.

309. - Deal with me. - Go back to Florida.

310. I need a monitored bed.

322. - Want a tox screen? - It's probably coke or crystal meth.

332. - Go ahead. - You have to intubate.

333. Randi, find a doctor! We need some help in Trauma 1 now!

334. I can't see the cords. I need suction. There's a lot of vomit.

335. Try a straight blade.

336. Lydia, we need a vent.

337. - How's that Nipride drip coming? - Working on it.

338. - What do you need? - Difficult intubation. Corday's sick.

339. Go lie down. I've got it. Take one more look.

347. He's got a clot from the popliteal fossa to the femoral vein?

348. I thought he was drug-seeking. Where is he?

349. A pain in the ass. He tried to bum an El token from the clerk.

350. When the guy wouldn't give, he got pissed off.

351. You just let him leave?

352. - I'm not a hall monitor. - Damn it!

359. Out of my way. Move away from him.

360. Mr. Florea?

361. Mr. Florea?

362. Randi, it's Carter. I'm at the El station. Send a gurney right away.

363. - What happened? - Found him at the El.

364. - Drinking again? - No, he left AMA. He's got a leg clot.

365. - It must have traveled to his lung. - Sats are 78.

366. Get the TPA box ready. Mix up the TPA, run 100 milligrams for two hours.

367. - I've got to do the checklist first. - No, no. There's no time for that.

368. - He's altered, a contraindication. - He's altered because of the PE.

369. - Not enough oxygen to his brain. - I won't give it.

370. - He may be bleeding internally. - I'll give it.

371. - I'm not signing my name to this chart. - Then don't!

373. - With the crack pipe? - Yeah?

374. He was cooking crystal meth in the basement pharmacy. Whole lab set up.

376. Debby Marlin's HMO wouldn't authorize admission.

377. - Who? - Breast cancer with spine mets.

382. She's got end-stage breast cancer, Peter. She's in pain.

383. I know. But she's gonna have to take it up with her HMO.

384. She'd be better off without insurance. We'd admit her and County would pay.

385. Doesn't make a damn bit of sense.

386. - How's your sister doing, Peter? - You know. As well as can be expected.

387. Randi, how long is Abby's mother gonna be sitting in Chairs?

395. - Stop the TPA. He could bleed out. - Pulse ox is down to 72.

396. This is his only chance.

397. You know nothing about his history. You could kill him.

398. - Stop. Thoracic may do a thrombectomy. - He's hypoxic on 100 percent oxygen.

399. - He'll never make it! - We must try.

400. - He'll arrest! - I'm the Attending.

401. Pulse ox is going up to 80. Heart rate's steady at 72.

402. Just pray he didn't bleed in his brain.

403. Thanks.

404. - I feel like such a klutz. - These things happen.

405. My husband likes celery in stuffing, so I'm chopping away, and whack!

406. Next thing I know there's blood everywhere.

407. I should've stuck to my oyster recipe. But Sam likes a traditional stuffing.

408. You can tell a lot about people by their stuffing. My mother hates sage.

409. And I'm not too fond of nuts or raisins.

410. T o tell you the truth, I don't like a lot of that...

411. fancy stuff thrown in like eggs or dried fruit.

412. How about you, doctor? What kind of stuffing do you like?

413. Dr. Greene?

414. What do you prefer?

415. Dr. Greene, lab needs another red top on Caine.

416. Dr. Greene, can I run my asthma patient by you?

417. We've got a lady with syncope in 4.

418. Mark, do you have a minute?

419. - I got into a thing with Carter- - Not now.

420. - Are you going anywhere tonight? - I don't think so.

421. Stop by. I'm making Thanksgiving dinner for 30.

422. Thirty people? How?

423. Takeout from Chicago Chicken on my good china.

424. - Abby, please talk with me. Please. - Please don't do this to me again.

425. All right. I lost my apartment. I've been evicted.

426. - I have no place to go. - I don't want to hear it.

427. - Why are you so damn stubborn? - It's called self-protection.

428. I did the best I could. I took care of you and Eric all by myself.

429. Excuse me, Mom. We took care of you.

430. You always had a place to stay, food and clothes. I worked hard for that.

431. - When you were on your meds. - I tried to be a good mother every day.

432. Abby, now, you listen to me. There is a lot of me in you. I see it.

433. Please! Do you know that every night before I went to sleep...

434. I used to pray that you would take your lithium and just act normal?

435. - Do you think it was easy for me? - But it was exciting.

436. We never knew what to expect. Would you bring home a loser you met in a bar?

437. Or maybe you'd run down our street naked screaming your head off.

438. - You can hate me. It's okay to hate me. - Then there was that Thanksgiving...

439. when I was 10. You remember that one?

440. - Here we go. Here we go. - You were cooking mashed potatoes.

441. - Here we go, here we go. Okay. - I walked in. You asked where I'd been.

442. I said I'd been to visit Dad. I'll never forget your face.

443. You threw the food on the floor. You chased me with a knife!

444. I'd never hurt you, Abby.

445. - I'd never hurt you. - I locked myself in the closet!

446. - I remember sitting with my feet... - It was the disease.

447. - ... against the door to keep you out. - It was the disease.

448. You have to see me. I'm not just a disease!

449. That night you made me sleep beside you to prove you were sorry.

450. - I couldn't sleep. I had to watch you. - I'm your mother.

451. - You might flip out again. I was 10! - I'm the only mother you'll ever have.

452. - I didn't choose to be sick. - You never tried to get better!

453. - I can't make things different. - That's right!

454. You can't! So now just go home.

455. I couldn't talk. Words just wouldn't come out.

456. Have you had any other symptoms? Change in vision? Headaches?

457. Nothing significant. Neck's a little sore from hockey. Headache, on and off.

458. Could be an atypical migraine, maybe cerebritis. You under a lot of stress?

459. - Who isn't? - Right. Let's take a look.

460. - You ready? - Yeah, I guess.

461. This is ridiculous. I'm actually feeling much better.

462. It's probably hypoglycemia from skipping breakfast and lunch.

463. Well, when I was dizzy and vomited I took a pregnancy test.

464. I'm not pregnant. I had a period last month.

465. - That was breakthrough bleeding. - What?

466. - You're pregnant. - Well, that's impossible.

467. Really?

468. Technically, it's possible.

469. You know, maybe we should run a serum test just to make sure.

470. It's okay. Why don't you lie down?

471. I'll do an ultrasound and see how far along you are.

472. What's the word?

473. There appears to be a 3.5 centimeter mass in the frontal cortex.

474. A brain tumor.

475. How bad is it?

476. I want to discuss it with a neurosurgeon.

477. - You're a radiologist. How bad is it? - I really can't say.

478. What's my prognosis?

479. Phil?

480. You need to talk to a neurosurgeon right away.

481. It's not like he swallowed one nail. We're talking pounds of hardware.

482. There's nails and screws and...

483. one of those metric socket sets, a plier.

484. I mean, I'm palpating this guy's belly.

485. And there's a crescent wrench outlined in bas-relief.

486. I mean, just smashed up against the skin.

487. My husband says to me, "You've got to go in there and consent this guy. "

488. - You were married? - Yes.

489. He was a surgical Resident. So I go in there and I say:

490. "Mr. Jebson, how did you get all this stuff down? "

491. And he says, "A good Chablis. "

492. He says, "A good Chablis. " Oh, my gosh.

493. Oh, my gosh! I'm so sorry.

494. - It's fine. No, you missed most of me. - I can't believe-

495. - I'll pay for the dry-cleaning. Sorry. - Kerry, it's all right.

496. - Did you bring the guacamole? - Yeah, and onion dip.

497. - Hey, Dr. Greene. - Hey.

498. Are you okay?

499. - I was just heading out. - Good night.

500. We need dessert. I can grab something from Doc Magoo's.

501. - We don't need it that bad. - Good night.

502. - Happy Thanksgiving. - Have a good one.

503. I'm starving.

504. Those are my favorite, girl.

505. Hey, what happened?

506. - Your-? - I went for a walk.

507. - In the rain? - How's Mr. Florea?

508. He threw a clot. I had to give him TPA.

509. Oxygen levels are up, vitals are stable.

510. Can I give you a hand? Help you with anything?

511. - I'm just starting an IV. - With your mom.

512. No. Every time she goes off her meds she says she's not gonna do it again.

513. Why should this time be different?

514. - I don't know. - My patient's smoking again. Excuse me.

515. Mr. Thal, I told you if you want to smoke you have to go outside.

516. In the rain? I've got pneumonia.

517. - Man, this is smelling weird! - I need an ashtray.

518. - Anything else I can get you? - An extra pillow would be nice.

519. - Dr. Carter, could I speak with you? - Sure.

520. I know you're a friend of my daughter's.

521. This is awkward for me. I don't know what else to do.

522. - Could you talk to her for me? - I'm not sure what-

523. - Abby's in there! - Stay here! Stay here!

524. - Are you okay? - Yeah.

525. - Oh, my God! Abby! - Everyone, stay outside!

526. - Abby! - Stay out here!

527. - Abby! - Abby!

528. - Abby! - Abby! God, Abby!

529. - Abby! - Oh, my God, Abby!

530. Please wait outside.

531. - Abby? - Is she all right?

532. - Is your neck okay? - Is she all right?

533. - Is her airway clear? - I think she's okay.

534. Let's go! Let's go! Down the hall to the right! Carter, you need help?

535. I don't think so. Curtain 2.

536. Get me an intubation kit...

537. - ... lactated Ringer's and burn dressings. - Look out, please!

538. Excuse me. Excuse me.

539. Is she all right?

540. Is she badly hurt?

541. - Can you wait outside? - No.

542. Stethoscope. Do you have any chest pain?

543. - Yeah. - You do? Where's it hurt?

544. - Right there. - Right here?

545. Okay, take a deep breath for me.

546. All right, give me the oxygen.

547. Hello, Mommy.

548. Jing-Mei.

549. I'm so glad you came.

550. - Who's here? - Everybody.

551. Great.

552. - I'll go get your father. - You didn't tell Ba-Ba?

553. You asked me not to.

554. He'll be okay. Shocked, but okay.

555. You underestimate us, Jing-Mei. You've always underestimated us.

556. Mommy, will you love the baby if the father is black?

557. He's black.

558. That's what I thought.

559. Jing-Mei?

560. It's okay, Mommy. That's why I didn't tell you.

561. - Any idea what started it? - Ether.

562. Ether?

563. A couple of guys in the pharmacy were cooking crystal meth.

564. Transported the ether in IV bags. One of theirs got mixed in.

565. - Damn! - Everybody out?

566. All but two patients.

567. Well, move it. We're evacuating this whole department.

568. - They're critical. - I'll give you 10 minutes.

569. Just take a deep breath.

570. - Chest still hurt? - A little. Can I get up?

571. - I'm okay. I could help. - Not until I get a chest x-ray.

572. - I don't need a chest x-ray. - Abby, come on. Let him help you.

573. - How are you? - I'm a little sore.

574. - I think she cracked a rib. - How's Mr. Thal?

575. He's going to the Burn Unit. But he'll be okay.

576. - How much Ringer's do you want? - Ten liters over eight hours.

577. - How's your guy with the PE? - CT was normal. No brain bleeding.

578. Good.

579. Let's get you up to Radiology.

580. He was staring up at me from the pavement. And with every breath...

581. I could see frosted cloud...

582. from his mouth...

583. get smaller.

584. I just talked to him, tried to reassure him.

585. And I held his hand until he died.

586. - The ambulance never came? - He was gone when they got there.

587. Oh, my God...

588. Well, what happened to the driver who hit him?

589. Not enough.

590. He was drunk. But this was 19 years ago.

591. They revoked his license for a while...

592. and had him pick up trash on Saturday or something.

593. Well...

594. I certainly got us off on a very depressing tangent, didn't I?

595. I think we're gonna close this place down.

596. I'm sorry. We haven't taken care of this.

597. - No, no, no. No, you paid last time. - Let me. Come on.

598. - You know what? Why don't we split it? - I got it.

599. Thank you.

600. You know, this is our second meal together.

601. Some people might consider a second dinner a date.

602. A date?

603. - You do know I'm gay? - Of course.

604. I don't have a problem with that. I have gay friends.

605. - I'm sorry, Kerry. I misread this. - No. I mean, I didn't-

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

607. It's just that you called me for eight psych consults in the past week.

608. We work well together.

609. - My instincts are usually reliable. - You know what?

610. Thank you.

611. You know, I'm really very flattered- You're such a beautiful woman.

612. You're so beautiful. But I'm straight. I mean, I don't- I'm straight.

613. - Okay. - Oh, God...

614. Oh, my God! I don't know- I don't know what-

615. I mean, I'm sorry. I just, I don't- I feel very...

616. You know what? I just...

617. I mean, I guess I never even really considered this.

618. You haven't said a word since we left the hospital.

619. We can talk to each other. That's what people do in relationships.

620. All right.

621. I'm pissed that Romano's docking my pay for punching Malucci. That better?

622. You should be furious. Malucci was way out of line.

623. Not that I'm surprised.

624. What's that supposed to mean?

625. You get docked because Malucci's a jackass.

626. Your nephew gets crappy care because they assume he's a banger.

627. Today our patient couldn't get her meds.

628. I'm tired of hearing you go off on this.

629. Stop trying to teach everybody how to be black.

630. And you need to face reality.

631. Debby Marlin couldn't get pain medication because her pharmacy...

632. - ... was in a black neighborhood. - You grew up in the suburbs.

633. - What do you know about her? - I can't relate because I wasn't poor?

634. No. I'm just saying, I know who I am. I don't have anything to prove.

635. And I do because my mother's white?

636. I didn't say that.

637. - Where are you going? - I'm getting off.

638. - This isn't our stop. - I don't want to see you now.

639. Cleo, we're supposed to be going to your cousin's-

640. Good news. Your lungs look clear. But you cracked a rib on the right.

641. - I'll write your discharge orders. - You don't have to do that.

642. Fine. You did have a concussion, loss of consciousness.

643. - So I'm gonna call you later. - Thank you.

644. - "Doctor. " - Doctor.

645. - I borrowed an umbrella. - Okay.

646. Happy Thanksgiving, Dr. Carter.

647. - Hey. - Hey.

648. That steak smells fantastic.

649. How'd you get the charcoal going in the rain?

650. I just pulled the grill in under the overhang.

651. I've never had a deck to grill on before. Makes me feel very American.

652. - Yeah? - Yeah.

653. - Shall I help you with the salad? - Sure.

654. Okay.

655. Mark...

656. I have something to tell you. It's not going to be easy.

657. Go ahead.

658. Well, I know it's not exactly the best time, but...

659. What the hell? I'm pregnant.

660. Chen did an ultrasound.

661. What are you thinking?

662. - I think it's wonderful. - I love you.

663. I love you too.
