[THUNDER RUMBLING]
Rise and shine, Mayday. Too early to be taking a nap.
- Is it morning already? - Yeah.
Has been for a while.
Crenshaw has been running me ragged. I've been on since midnight Tuesday.
No wonder you haven't returned my calls.
Surgery is not for sissies.
[THUNDER RUMBLING]
[SIGHS]
I wanna talk to you about our mutual groping after the M and M...
Oh, yeah, it was a mistake.
Yeah.
You live with someone.
Yes, but not exactly.
And there's a little girl.
Right. Nice kid, not mine.
Her father was my friend.
In the Gulf?
Yup. After we came back, he couldn't keep it together.
And I always told him that if something happened...
...I would make sure that Sarah and Meg made it through.
That's a big promise.
I always say go big or go home.
[DOOR OPENS]
Hello.
Gates, your DVT patient is still waiting on a ride to Oncology.
Nurses started a pool on when somebody will tap your ascites guy's belly.
All right, I'll go take care of the...
The DVT guy first.
Ambulance on its way in.
Stab wound-slash-OD, nine minutes out.
Wake me up in eight.
Whenever I move my head, everything spins.
- Mm-hm. - My nephew says it's a tumor.
Your neuro exam's normal, ma'am...
...so it's not a brain tumor, it's not a stroke.
Stroke?
This is meclizine. Take one every eight hours if you get dizzy.
When you run out, fill this for a month's supply.
I take that to the pharmacy?
- Yes, ma'am. - And I have to pay?
Yeah, but your insurance will cover some of it.
- Dr. Pratt? - There you go. Excuse me.
Ahh.
Yeah?
Mrs. Skinner's BP, 185/100.
- She take the Oretic I gave her? - Sure, until she used up the samples.
Well, what about the prescription?
It's $60 for a month's supply.
She's saving up, but hopes her son will send her a check by Thanksgiving.
You know, I'm going out of my way to get your people set up right...
...you gotta help make sure they stay on the program.
All I need is an extra 100 grand a year. That'll cover costs for my congregation.
What? I need to figure out a way to pay for all this too?
Hey, in for a penny, in for a pound.
Who said that? Jesus?
Clemens Daniel III, my bookie.
[THUNDER CRASHING]
BO Y: Don't let me get wet, Teller, the water burns.
- Gotta make sure they see him. - Don't leave me.
We'll get in trouble.
Them demons come through the sewers when it rains.
She's here!
RUBY: Bloody Mary. PAULIE: Let go. Let go! It's her!
It's okay. You know what to do.
- No, she sees us. It's too late. - Do it, Paulie.
ALL: One, two, three, four, Stay away forevermore
See?
[SIREN APPROACHING]
She can't hurt us.
[SIREN STOPS]
[THUNDER RUMBLING]
DUMAR: Stab wound to shoulder, BP, 110/75...
RUBY: Let's go, Teller. He's a doctor.
ABBY: Did she get Narcan? DUMAR: No response.
RUBY: Teller, we have to go back.
GATES: What happened? To his ear, what happened?
TELLER: He climbed over a fence. GATES: Did he fall?
- I'll be good, Ma. - Probably.
- Did he hit his head? - Maybe.
GATES: We need a gurney, a backboard and a C-collar.
Page Surgery, ENT.
- I'll come in as soon as I'm done. - All right. Thanks, Mayday.
There be demons on the Hancock. You can see them from the lake.
Shut up, Paulie. They don't know.
GATES: Couple of Ativan to calm him down.
- What do you wanna do about the ear? - Unasyn, 2 grams.
Try 3. Irrigate the hell out of it.
- Plastics will do a flap in O.R. - Sats are good.
HOPE: Pupils equal and reactive.
NEELA: Pinpoint pupils. She had Narcan? DUMAR: Only 0.8.
All right, let's try 2 milligrams. Sometimes they need more.
No wounds to the anterior chest or abdomen.
Corneal reflexes are intact.
GATES: Chest is clear.
Belly soft, non-tender.
HOPE: Tachy at 120. DUMAR: Looks like you got her back.
WOMAN: Oh, my God. - Deep breath for me now.
In.
- Out. GATES: One percent lido...
...and update his tetanus.
It's gonna be okay, Paulie. You're gonna be okay.
The blue lady's here.
[DOOR UNLOCKING]
Yeah, I was running around all shift and I never got to it.
I was coming off an overnight, I figured Gates could handle it.
He didn't and now he can't. He's in with a trauma.
Well, it's just a paracentesis. Maybe you could do it.
KOVAC: Look, you're an Attending, you shouldn 't have left this unfinished.
Look, I had somewhere to be, okay?
What was so important you'd walk out on a guy who'd been here all night?
Church, all right?
I had to go to church.
Pratt, you're a terrible liar.
Get back here and deal with this right now, okay?
[SHOWER RUNNING]
Hey. Hey. What are you doing?
You chipping in on the water bill, because I need to...
Hey, Greg.
I thought you were at work.
This your brother?
CHAZ: Yeah.
- Get out of here. - Greg, listen...
Hey, get the hell out of here.
[EXHALES]
You too.
By the time I get back, I want you gone.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
Let go. Why you wanna kill me?
- Stop it or she won't come. - Are we charting this as a John Doe?
- I told you his name's Paulie. - Paulie what?
Does he have any parents?
His father's locked up in the tower by the water.
His mom was in the shelter before she died.
Paulie left so they couldn't send him to the Foresters.
Foresters?
The fake family that don't ever love you.
A foster family?
GATES: Where does he live? - Under.
- Under what? - How's it here?
GATES: Altered after a 10-foot fall. No ID, history unknown.
C-spine and chest are clear. Lose the collar, will you?
JARVIK: Head CT films. - I don't wanna stay here.
- Look. JARVIK: Another two of Ativan?
No bleed or fracture. What about drugs?
HOPE: Tox screen negative for alcohol, drugs.
- Fever? JARVIK: Ninety-eight-point-six.
HOPE: I don't get why he's so altered. GATES: Doesn't seem like meningitis.
- Has he been acting differently? - Since his arm started hurting.
Even before he fell?
- He only fell last night. - How did he fall?
We was in the building where nobody lives.
- Paulie got scared because of the bats. - Bats?
- It could be rabies. Hope, page Kovac. - Okay.
All right, put an N95 mask on him.
If he does have rabies, his saliva is extremely infectious.
NEELA: I'll check for fractures.
No step-offs or deformities.
Full range of motion at the elbow and wrist.
TELLER: See, Paulie?
Told you she'd come.
Lunchtime starts at noon, so I'll be there with the crew by 11.
You know, Courtney, this isn't quite what I signed on for.
I thought I'd be reporting on topical medical issues...
...not doing puff pieces on Botox and unsanitary manicures.
Hey, that one was strong.
People all over Chicago now think twice before having their cuticles cut.
See you at noon.
FRANK: This came for you special delivery.
[THUNDER RUMBLING]
Baby gift?
Yeah. Yeah.
Charles Hadley, multiple wounds after a bar fight.
He passed out on the couch last night.
- This morning, I couldn't wake him up. - Look at me, sir.
Pupils equal at 4 millimeters.
- You all right there, ma'am? - It's nothing.
- We should take a look at it. - No, no, no, I'm all right.
KOVAC: CBC, chem panel, blood alcohol...
...C- spine, head and facial CT.
Dried blood at the left ear canal, positive battle sign.
SAM: Have a seat. KOVAC: Chest is clear.
ABBY: Abdomen soft, no rebound or guarding.
- Did he do this? - No. No.
He didn't know what he was doing.
Are you saying your husband hit you, ma'am?
It was an accident.
I was helping him down on the couch and he slipped.
His elbow knocked me.
Pelvis is stable.
She's gonna need a facial series.
Dr. Kovac, we've got a pretty sick little boy in 2, no parents...
- Just keep trying to reach them. - We think he's homeless.
Neela and Gates are worried it's rabies.
You're good. I'll be back.
- Rabies? - He was in a building infested with bats.
- How was the trauma workup? - CT's negative, but he's altered, ataxic.
A river runs through the city.
On the other side's the good streets, but we can't get across.
KOVAC: How's he doing? - Responsive but not making much sense.
TELLER: He's not crazy.
The stuff he's talking about is real.
- You're thinking rabies? - What else could it be?
Encephalitis from any number of viruses.
West Nile, Epstein-Barr, mumps, measles, varicella, CMV.
- He needs a spinal tap. - Can we do a rabies vaccine in case?
Well, if you're right, it's too late. So let's first confirm the diagnosis.
The quickest way is with a skin biopsy. Keep a mask on him.
If we intubate, you'll all need masks, gloves and goggles.
- Tony, your buddy Cue Ball's leaving. - What?
- He still needs an x-ray. - He said he feels fine.
Will you handle this? I'll be back in a second.
Are you gonna learn me the hard song now?
NEELA: Can you hold his head for me, Teller?
There, you see, I'm just like a vulture. I'm the guy that gets you out of here.
Cue Ball, where you going?
Home, man. They fixed me up.
Cue Ball. Hey, I knew your parents, eight ball and highball.
Your lungs sound like a bag of potato chips.
Oh, come on, it's nachos.
I was just translating.
- I'm taking you back. You need an x-ray. - No, no. I been here since last night.
I got places to go, people to see, baby.
Hey, sit down, Pancho.
- We'll wheel you back to Tijuana. - I ain't Spanish, man.
He's a new volunteer. We're still training him.
PRATT: Gates. - Oh, here comes your pimp.
- I'm done with this. - Cue Ball, get back here. Come on.
- Do one x-ray. - Hey, hey, hey.
- What? - Why didn't you tap my patient?
I was in trauma. What was I supposed to do?
What I told you.
So I'm just supposed to take all your scut, huh?
- Don't turn your back on me. - I got stuff to do.
The only thing you have to do is what I tell you.
You don't wanna do this.
- I don't wanna do what? - Get in my face.
Then stop acting like you don't hear me when I talk.
If you wanna have a job this afternoon, you better stay where you are.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
PAULIE [SLURRING]: She can't cry. There's only one dog.
Can you touch your nose for me?
Paulie, can you hear me?
If you can hear me, can you touch your nose?
[DOOR OPENS]
How's he doing?
Intention tremor with worsening ataxia.
Bit my lip.
Skin biopsy came back positive for rabies by DFA.
- Rabies is 100 percent fatal. - Ninety-nine-point-nine percent.
There's a little girl in Wisconsin, 2004. She survived.
- That was one case. - We're gonna make it two cases.
NEELA: What's this? - New England Journal of Medicine.
You need to order ketamine, midazolam, ribavirin, amantadine from the pharmacy.
We're gonna induce a coma?
Titrate the midazolam to suppress brain activity.
Lets the brain rest while we administer antivirals.
Also, we need to call Neurology, he'll need continuous EEG monitoring.
- There are no isolation beds in the PICU. NEELA: He'll have to stay here.
- This guy's taking a nose dive. KOVAC: I'm coming.
- Did you notify public health? - They're bringing in CDC.
Okay, good. So anyone else exposed...
...needs rabies prophylaxis vaccine and immune globulin.
Our party animal's more disoriented. Head CT shows a basilar skull fracture.
- Intracranial hemorrhage? - We got lucky there.
GCS is down from 14 to eight.
KOVAC: Mr. Hadley, open your eyes. - He's diaphoretic.
- Are the labs back yet? SAM: No, not yet.
KOVAC: We need to repeat the head CT, see if there's a delayed bleed.
- Sats dropping. - Hundred percent non-rebreather.
Dr. Kovac, a guy called a couple times, didn't leave a message.
- Did you get a name, Frank? - He wouldn't say.
- Why are you telling me this? - Thought you'd wanna know.
- It's probably a creditor. - Great. Thank you. Thank you, Frank.
Doing an Accu-Chek?
He's not a diabetic.
No, but if he's a chronic alcoholic who's not eating...
...he might be hypoglycemic.
- There it is. Blood sugar's 34. - That's pretty low.
ABBY: Amp of D50 and 100 mgs of thiamine.
- He's a bigger drinker than we thought. - He wasn't always this bad.
Advanced liver disease diminishes his glycogen stores.
His body can't respond to low blood sugar.
[GRUNTS]
What the hell is going on?
KOVAC: Mr. Hadley, do you know where you are?
Chicago.
SAM: You're in the hospital.
ABBY: When's the last time you had something to eat?
It's been a couple of days.
I guess I've been on a bit of a bender.
Cancel the CT?
Yeah.
- Here. - The hell is that?
Belly tap for my ascites guy.
Send it for a cell count, culture and cytology.
Whoa. Hope didn't get that hitting a patient.
Intern.
Why are you even here?
Paracentesis on a pass-on Gates couldn't handle.
Uh-huh. Welcome to being an Attending.
Wait, you... You and Gates didn't...?
You know what, I don't need to know.
Hey, how's the lip?
Better than your hand. You hit like a girl.
Yeah, okay.
Look, sorry for blowing my cool like that.
I was having a terrible morning, but that's no excuse...
...so if you wanna file a grievance with Human Resources, you can call...
I was there too. It's not the first time I let something like that get out of hand.
Have you tried getting into a program to help you stop drinking?
Like I wanna hear everybody else's problems.
What good is a lot of talking gonna do me?
Not gonna bring my son back.
He died?
As a DUI.
He got his mother's looks. Heh.
And my alcoholism.
What about what you're doing to your wife?
I don't know why she hasn't left me before.
It should be... It should be me, doc.
It should be me that's dead and not Kenny.
She came here with an injury.
Did you hit her?
- What? - Did you hit her?
[STAMMERING]
I would never, never hurt my wife.
But you did.
If it...
If I did...
It wasn't on... It wasn't on purpose.
I love her.
Check his glucose in an hour.
Wait a minute, I love her.
I'll be back.
Do you think the concussion and the low blood sugar contributed to this?
To what?
Well, I think he'd altered and he hurt her accidentally.
We have to report it.
- If it's nothing, it will get dropped. - The wife said he never hit her.
- The police will sort it out. - Hey.
What? What? She's got a bruised face.
So you wanna put him in a locked facility?
You heard him, he won't get any help unless he's forced to.
- It's time someone scared him. - You might be right about this, but...
Look, let's try this.
You be the Resident, I'll be the Attending, okay?
Okay.
- Can I help find something, Dr. Pratt? - What? No.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Are we out of diuretics?
I think there are some samples over here, but...
[KEYS JINGLING]
Free sample closet.
- Hope, you're a genius. - Aah! Ha.
I thought...
- Aren't you not working this shift? - Yeah, that's right.
Oh.
Well, then why are you...?
I'm running a little low on some stuff for some people I'm helping at church.
Church? I didn't know that you volunteered at church.
No, this is not gonna be enough. Do we have anything anywhere else?
- Come on. - There was a drug rep here earlier.
- Maybe they restocked? - Drug rep.
She even brought pizza. Very sweet girl from Dayton, Ohio.
My family's originally from Akron so we had a lot in common.
I think her name was Dora.
GATES: Here you go, buddy.
- I'm not hungry. - It might make you feel better.
And this soup is the bomb.
I'm serious, they call it the bomb soup.
You eat this soup, you're gonna fart like a cannon.
Ketamine's ready to go at 2 mgs per kilo per hour...
...with ribavirin loading dose of 33 mgs per kilo.
When's Paulie gonna wake up?
I don't know. We're gonna make Paulie sleep for a while, a couple of weeks.
Hopefully, his body can heal.
Amantadine needs to be given by mouth.
All right.
Hey, Paulie. Can you hear me?
I need you to take a little sip of water here.
[MONITOR BEEPING ERRATICALLY]
[COUGHING]
Rabies are making it hard for him to swallow. Drop an NG.
That's not why.
It's because Bloody Mary saw his face.
Put a tube down his throat to help him breathe. Ten of sux, 20 of etomidate.
JARVIK: Pulse ox is only 82. GATES: Ambu-bag.
Yankauer suction on high.

GATES: Teller.
Teller!
[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE]
FORBES: What do you know about the placement of the hernia mesh?
NEELA: It must be parallel to the peritoneal sac.
FORBES: And?
NEELA: The mesh covers the abdominal wall...
...reflects on the iliopubic tract and covers several centimeters of the psoas.
Paulie can't breathe. You have to come help.
- Who is that? - You can't be in here, Teller.
You have to come help. Paulie can't breathe.
Go back downstairs. I can't come with you.
You have to. You're the blue lady.
Please. Please, just help Paulie.
You need to wake him up.
I can't. Paulie's very sick.
I saw you.
That other girl, she was asleep...
...and you woke her up. You brought her back to life.
That was different.
You can't say no.
[PAGER BEEPING]
You can't.
I know your secret name: Mayday.
And one day...
One day, every day is gonna be Sunday.
Diuretics, calcium channel blockers, oral hypoglycemics.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories...
...proton-pump inhibitors, beta-agonist inhalers.
Enough meds for 90 percent of your people.
[CHUCKLES]
That's fast work.
- How did you manage it? - Sold my soul to a drug company.
Well, not exactly my soul. Give me those.
I'll go lock them up in the closet.
Greg's told me about what you're doing here.
I'd love to be a part of it.
It's why I took my break time to help out Dr. Pratt.
- Uh... Are you a med student? - Hope Bobek.
I'm an intern.
It's the same thing as a first-year Resident, but they call us interns.
I don't really know why.
Oh. I love old churches like this.
- Do you? - It's so big.
Yes, it is, isn't it?
It's estimated that between 10 and 20 percent...
...of the youth in this country are obese.
A condition which leads to increased risk of diabetes...
...heart disease, high cholesterol...
BO Y: Lucy's choking! GIRL: Somebody help.
- Let's go. MAN: Yeah.
Keep filming.
WEAVER: Hey, sweetie? Honey, can you breathe?
Can you speak? Okay, here we go.
- All right, I need help here. Look out. - Kerry, what's happening?
WEAVER: Probably has a piece of food obstructing her trachea.
Hang in there, Lucy. Here we go.
GIRL 1: Oh...
Okay, get me a kitchen knife with a sharp point and a drinking straw.
Now. Go.
Okay, this is gonna hurt for a second.
Ready? One, two, three.
STUDENTS: Ewww.
GIRL 2: Oh, man, that's nasty.
She's cutting her throat.
GIRL 2: Disgusting.
- He's still sleeping? NEELA: Yes.
GATES: He's got peripheral IVs for continuous sedation and antiviral therapy.
He needs a central line if he'll do blood products and clotting factors.
Central line's too risky with a DIC.
- We have to do something. - What about saphenous cutdown?
Lily, Betadine.
Thanks for getting here so fast. Thought we'd lose him.
She had to come.
NEELA: 10 blade, curved hemostat.
- He says I'm the blue lady. - Ah.
When I was a paramedic, we used to run into homeless kids like this.
- 3-0 silk. - Survival.
They'd have to make up a story about their world.
It helps them get through it.
It's not a story.
It's real.
God took a boat across the lake because he couldn't fight the demons in Chicago.
There were too many of them and they're always out to hurt you.
Like Bloody Mary?
Demons turn you into druggies or whores.
One shot my brother from his black SUV.
- 11 blade. - What about good spirits?
- Any of those? - The angels could save you.
They eat the millennium light and stop the hawk from frostbiting.
So the blue lady can save you if you're hurt or sick, huh?
She has to.
If you know her secret name.
Triple lumen catheter.
- Teller. - Look, Ellie.
I told you not to stay.
I told you you'd get us in trouble.
It's okay.
She's gonna fix Paulie.
ABBY: Are you leaving?
I've tried to make him get some help. He won't listen to me.
I've lost a son.
[VOICE BREAKING] Now it looks like I'll lose a husband too.
Well, not if you don't want to.
How bad does it have to get before he realizes there's a problem?
Does he have to doze off with his cigarette and burn the place down...
...or fall through a glass door? - Well, alcoholism's a disease.
I mean, maybe the two of us together can convince him to get some treatment.
[CRYING]
I love him. I really do.
And he's a good man.
He just can't seem to get over this.
I think he's starting to understand that he needs to make some changes.
[SIREN APPROACHING]
Okay.
Hemmerdinger's been D/C'd...
...Winston is in Radiology and Barnaby died.
- Now, listen, about the Hadleys... - Abby.
Look, they love each other. They're struggling...
- You're defending abuse? - Don't think that's what happened.
- The guy's an alcoholic. - Yeah, well, so am I.
I already reported it. The cops are on their way.
[BUZZER SOUNDS]
WEAVER: Lucy Mokeler, criked for upper-airway obstruction.
What happened?
I was doing a stand-up in a middle-school lunchroom...
...and she started choking.
[DOOR UNLOCKING]
[SIGHS]
I know you probably think that I wanted to move in here because of this.
You told me that you wanted to be closer to school.
I did.
I thought maybe we could be brothers like we talked about last year.
Oh. Oh. So you just didn't need a little bit more privacy...
...than living with the family could get you, huh?
It's not like that.
You lied to me, and I'm not cool with that.
- I didn't lie. - I'm not cool with it.
So, what, Greg?
What, if I'd have told you the truth, then you would've been cool with it?
You think this is easy for me?
It's not like this has been going on a long time...
...it's just something that happened.

- Call Kovac. - Amp of epi.
It's hard to bag. There's a lot of resistance.
KOVAC: What's the rhythm? - PEA.

Could've had a small pneumo that converted to tension with intubation.

TELLER: Stop it. - Please, let us help you.
You both need medicine so you don't get sick like Paulie.

It's like a miracle, come on.

[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]
Hey. You're still here.
Well, I wanted to make sure that she was okay.
And I got permission from her parents to air what happened.
- Why? - Are you kidding me?
If a male doctor pulled that off on TV, he'd have his own syndication deal.
- Yeah, well... - No, seriously, Kerry.
I mean, that was... That was pretty incredible.
I'm still buzzing.
How do you come down from something like that?
A glass of wine and a hot bath at the end of the day help.
Mm. Sounds good to me.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
All right.
TOMKINS: Ketamine is at 2 per kilo per hour?
He's got spontaneous eye opening.
That's a good sign, but we need to deepen his coma.
Let's double up on the midazolam drip. I'll check back later.
He's got goose bumps.
I'll go get a warming blanket.
[DOOR CLOSES]
He's putting up a fight.
Still has a long way to go.
Hope's right. It's a miracle he's alive.
Maybe you are the blue lady after all.
Well, if I was these kids, I'd sure as hell wanna believe that.
If you believe in something hard enough...
What?
Well, I've talked myself into things that weren't true plenty of times.
What sort of things?
I don't know.
Like stuff about myself, my job, people in my life.
Everything seems to be a lot clearer now, though.
I have something to do. I'll see you tomorrow?
- Yeah, okay. - Okay.
Hey, you never told me what your secret name was.

You're the one that gave it to me.

Teller must have overheard you.
You never told me what it means.

...there's something else I need to ask you in private.
You okay, doc?
What is it?
KOVAC: It belongs to my son. It was sent to me here.
See the initials?
C.A. Curtis Ames. He was a patient of mine.
I think he's trying to threaten us.
Maybe he just wanted to return it.
Look, he followed my wife and child to the park.
I'd like you to go talk to him.
Help me protect my family.
Okay.
Okay. Well, give him four more ounces and I'll be back in a half hour.
All right, bye.
Cell phones.
- How did we ever survive without them? - Sorry.
That was my babysitter.
Aren't you a little old to need a babysitter?
For my baby.
[CHUCKLES] Oh.
Well, aren't you a little young to have one of those?
- Can I buy you a beer? - No, thanks. I never touch the stuff.
So...
- A boy or a girl? - Boy.
- Six months. - Hmm.
- Ahh. - Do you have kids?
- Five. - Five.
Yeah. Boy and girl of my own...
...and three stepdaughters.
- Do you live in Chicago? - Texas.
- Texas? - Yeah.
- You're a long way from home. - Yeah.
What are you doing here?
Uh... Whew.
Well, I came up to see an old buddy of mine in the hospital.
But I walked into the lobby, I looked around, chickened out.
[CHUCKLES]
Why?
Well, you know, I buried a few friends over the last couple years...
...and hospitals make me queasy.
Yeah. Well, me too.
And I work in one.
You're a nurse, huh?
Mm. I used to be a nurse, but now I'm a doctor.
[LAUGHS]
- Really? - Yeah.
[LAUGHS]
- What's so funny? - Oh, nothing.
Why are you laughing?
Uh... Heh.
It's just...
Well, the only doctors I ever met...
...were white-haired old guys with glasses and necks like turkeys.
I guess I've got that to look forward to.
[CHUCKLING]
- What do you do in Texas? - Oil.
Tycoon?
Don't I wish.
No, I work the rigs. Machinist.
Ever seen an oil fire?
Seen one? Hell, I started one.
Can we have our chips please?
- What are you gonna eat in the movie? - That's why we got the licorice.
- Think fast, horndog. Think fast. - Oh.
- Good hands. - Thanks.
- What do you think of this kid? - Seems okay.
Polite, kind of quiet.
All the common traits of a serial killer.
- Can't believe she's gonna be dating. - Yeah.
[SIREN WAILING]
[HORN HONKS]
Listen, Meg, there's been something on my mind.
- Yeah, me too. - Really?
Yeah, I've been thinking about moving forward.
I think Sarah's old enough to accept it now.
In fact, I think it would make her happy.
What would?
Us making this permanent.
- We've danced around it long enough. - No, no, no. That's not what I meant.
Meg, I can't do this anymore.
Us living together, but not really living together.
Sleeping with each other when we need to.
It's too easy. It's like a placeholder.
And I think it's stopping us from moving on with our lives.
What are you talking about? This is our lives.
I don't want it to be.
We fell into this, Meg. I care about you and Sarah, but I have to do my thing.
What's her name?
Come on, Meg.
What? So you wanna screw some other girl. It won't be the first time.
They never last.
[SIREN WAILING]
It's more than that.
You think you can keep what you want and leave the rest?
Be part of our lives, but not commit? It doesn't work that way, Tony.
I've committed fully for a long time, Meg, and you know that.
[VOICE BREAKING] We love you.
And you love us.
I know you don't wanna blow that.
[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE]
You know Chicago winters can be pretty tough on asthma.
- You should get a flu shot. - Ah. I hate needles.
Just come by the ER, I'll do it myself. I promise I'll be gentle.
- Hey. - Hey.
Luka, this is...
- Eddie. ABBY: Eddie.
You the husband?
- We're not married. - Ah. Gotcha.
KOVAC: Are you ready to go? - Yup.
Well, Eddie, it's nice to meet you.
And remember, flu shot.
Thanks for the advice.
And the company.
- Hey, nice meeting you. - You too.
[DOOR CLOSES]
- Wanna talk about what's bugging you? - No.
No, you don't wanna talk about it or no, nothing's bugging you?
Something was, but I took care of it.
Nothing to worry about.
Okay.
[AIR HISSING]
Dr. Rasgotra?
Sorry, I must have nodded off.
[COUGHS]
- You've been working a lot, huh? - It's becoming up to 30 hours now.
- Do you want me to get you something? - Oh, no.
I'm fine, thanks.
How is he?
He needs to be in a coma for two weeks...
...until increased levels of rabies antibodies appear in cerebrospinal fluid.
And then we'll wean him off sedation, see if any neurologic function returns.
I prayed for him in church today.
I heard that his friends have a whole story about demons and spirits.
Who are we to judge, right?
Everybody needs something to believe in.
I will see you tomorrow, Dr. Rasgotra.
Good night, Hope.
