"If approved by the city planning commission,
the deal would transform one of New York's last public hospitals into condos."
"If approved." Keyword is "if."
How long is this sentence of yours?
When do you get your license back?
Three months, and the hospital could be gone by then.
I work with the development group.
I would very much like to expedite
the reinstatement of your nursing license.
What's a pill mill?
Dr. Feelgoods use them as a front
- to buy and sell drugs. - Let's find one.
I want to do one last dump of our whole stash.
You have an Oxy OD out there and nobody's doing anything.
- I'll see what I can do. - All right, no, there's no deal.
What the hell is going on here?
You know what? I'm gonna call 911.
- No, no, no. - Trust me, she means it.
Just get the hell out of here!
Your wife's crazy, man.
You know you almost blew that deal.
Kissing away 22 grand is a pretty bold choice.
- Are you kidding? - You just paid all your lawyer bills.
Did you hear Dr. Wu? He yelled, "That wife of yours."
What if it was true?
You really want to get married, don't you?
All the time.
You are always there for me when nobody else is.
Let's get married.
All right.

I don't know which one to get.
Well, get 'em both.
You can't afford both.
I will worry about what I can and can't afford.
You know you only buy me things when you feel guilty.
Oh, come on. That's not true.
I'm engaged to Eddie.
I'm gonna try these on.
Those are nice.
Have you told Dad?
No, I wanted to talk to you first.
That's weird.
It's not weird. I just don't want us to have any secrets.
- I secretly wanted to move home. - Well, come home.
Well, I don't think so, not if Eddie's there.
Eddie's a good man.
Yeah, he's a good man. He gave you drugs
and had an affair with you while you were married to Dad.
( sighs )
I want these boots.
I was sure she'd freak out.
She didn't. That's good.
It's like an alien abducted my kid and stuck in a maturity chip.
Maybe she's just happy for you.
There was a lot going on there, none of it was happy.
Hey, you aren't feeling the love, watch this.
Excuse me, you know what?
I just got engaged. This is my fiancée, Jackie.
Congratulations, Jackie.
See? That's what I'm talking about.
I'm nervous about telling everybody at work.
Hey, we just got engaged.
- Mazel tov. - Thank you.
This is a good thing.
People are gonna be happy for us.
I know, you're right.
They're gonna be happy. And we're gonna be happy.
( exhales )
All right, I'm going in.
All right, have a good day.
Here I go.
Nurse, late 20s, extreme fatigue.
Oh, God, I can't walk.
I feel amazing!
Long night?
Long morning.
SoulCycle.
Zoey and I have set our intentions
and are breaking through boundaries sweating by candlelight.
Oh, am I still pedaling?
I feel like I'm still pedaling.
Pain is gain, my friend.
Yes.
I am grateful for this pain.
Well, I am pretty grateful myself this morning.
- Really? - Yeah.
- For what? - Gloria: People...
All Saints has entered escrow with the Norwegians.
Nonessential departments will begin closing
as part of a 90-day phased shutdown,
starting with mental health, clinical trials, and pediatrics.
The good news is that we here in the ER
are deemed essential for now.
Yes, Zoey?
What's escrow?
The air between the trapezes.
They have a lot of hoops to jump through for the city,
but I'd start thinking about your futures.
I... got... married.
Don't everyone freak out at once.
Oh, my God, Thor, that's... that's wonderful.
- Frickin' amazeballs. - ( laughs )
Reuben and I went to city hall this morning.
Why are you walking like a deranged cowboy?
Akalitus just told us that the world is ending
and you made it all better.
Oh.
Congratulations, Thor.
We needed some good news this morning.
- That's so great. - It is great.
Wait, no shower, no bachelor party?
I can't believe you had a gay wedding without us.
- How dare you? - It was a rush job.
I had to get Reuben on my insurance.
And I love him and want to be around him forever.
I need a party.
Otherwise today will forever blow.
We will not be denied our gay wedding experience.
Do what you must, but just know the gays are very hard to please.
Girls love a challenge.
Honey, are you comfortable?
I don't want to go to Minneapolis, please.
We will go to the moon if that's where those drugs are.
Which clinical trial is Joe a part of?
C-22 for glioblastoma.
They're moving us to the Mayo Clinic.
Well, you can't do better than that.
Minnesota's lovely.
Nordic, but good Nordic.
I mean it, please. I don't want to go.
Natalie, Joe, wha...
where... where you off to, pal?
They're kicking us out, Bernie.
All the clinical trials are shutting down for the hospital sale.
Fucking Norwegian bullshit.
No, Jackie, this patient should not be moved.
He needs his medication, Bernie.
We can admit you to the ER, stall the transfer.
It would give us some time to figure something out.
And we can talk more about the Mayo Clinic.
You started out as my patient, so I'm gonna see you through.
We can't afford more treatment.
We'll wipe the chart. You were never here.
( laughs ) You're gonna get us in trouble, Jackie Peyton.
Big trouble.
I like it.
I like this whole thing.
( phone beeps )
- Hey. - Is everybody pumped?
Uh, well, I haven't told them yet.
Don't tell me you're ashamed of me now.
No, honey. Thor walked in
and announced that he got married this morning, so...
and I couldn't be an asshole and steal his thunder.
You know?
And we're having this little thing for him today.
- I think you should be there. - Yeah, yeah.
Can I call you back?
Yeah, yeah, call me back.
( beeps )
( speaking Norwegian )
Let me guess, the chapel is nonessential.
Oh, on the contrary, the chapel will be the temporary home
of my onsite transition team.
It would be great for morale to keep it open.
I need to be on the first floor.
Plus, I like the ceiling.
Okay, we're on the same side
and I know you want to keep things positive around here.
I'm just saying.
I appreciate that.
Okay.
Have you talked to your friend on the nursing board?
( inhales sharply ) Not yet.
Okay, well, we have a deal, yes?
Yeah, and at the end of escrow, I intend to honor it.
I see.
Thank you for your time.
- They won't budge. - ( groans )
Joe will not receive C-22 unless he's a part of the official trials.
Official trials are now in Minnesota.
He is hanging by a thread, Gloria.
This trip could kill him.
Dr. Prince,
glioblastoma, stage four?
We need to be thinking about how best to make Joe comfortable.
( groans )
I'll make some calls, set him up in the finest hospice in the city.
Right, so he dies in hospice
or he dies on the way to Minnesota.
Those are not the choices I'm looking for.
Fuck this day.
Yes, you're telling me.
How do you say vulture in Norwegian?
( elevator bell dings )
( sighs )
The pharmacy's in here.
Uh, that's not a good place for me.
I could get fired for going in there.
Ah, nobody here but us vultures.
Yeah, you... you go get Joe's meds,
I'm gonna stay out here, get some stuff for the ER.
( pills rattling )
Whoa.
Eddie was working on the wrong floor.
( laughs ) How is Eddie?
Oh, he's great.
We, uh... we just got engaged.
No shit. Well, congratulations.
I had no idea.
He would have loved this, sneaking around,
going on weird adventures.
Maybe the three of us should get married.
( laughs )
Okay, okay.
Comfy moccasins, not the uncomfy kind.
Tennessee Williams-themed napkins.
Maybe we should get Thor a stripper.
( whispers ) Should we get him penis hats?
A weekend in Atlantic City.
( laughs )
I am allergic to everything you're saying.
Don't be a pooper.
- Less is more. - More is more.
This needs to make up for every marriage
that never happened at All Saints.
I will not fall victim to catastrophic bad taste
because of your failed relationships.
My relationship with Coop failed by choice.
Prentiss and I consciously uncoupled.
We have to nail it.
Yes, we do.
It's like being on "Supermarket Sweep."
- Oh, God. - Hey, sir, this is our pizza!
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.
Woman: You have a lot of experience.
Thank you.
31 years at the same hospital.
You will not find a more dedicated employee
than myself, if I may say so.
You may.
I see you received your associate's degree in nursing
from Broome Community College.
- Go Hornets. - That's great.
Here's the deal.
We're really looking for someone with a master's degree.
I learned on the job,
rose up through the ranks by my own merit.
There is no more capable administrator in this city.
I'm sorry, I just don't think it's the right fit.
Well, thank you for the opportunity, anyway.
What's up?
Eddie.
Hello.
How did it go in there?
Excellent. I have a deviated septum.
Are you interviewing for a position?
I have a job. ( kicks bag )
On a sales call.
Pharmaceutical representative, I see.
I can imagine you'd be very good at that.
I am.
Which product?
Bone density? Antipsychotics? ED?
Pain management.
Ah.
Well...
glad to see you landed on your feet.
Thanks, Gloria.
( phone buzzing )
Whoops, sorry.
Hi, you never call me on my cell phone.
Did you test Jackie today?
Four of our nurses are out on job interviews.
- I got my hands full. - Just a reminder.
Thanks, of course. I'll do it now.
- ( bathroom door opens ) - ( footsteps approach )
- Carrie: Hey. - Jesus, do you mind?
I'm a medical professional. Of course I don't mind.
Zoey, Reuben is all set.
Did you call a DJ?
I have 14,000 songs on my iPhone.
- I'm a party in a purse. - Uh, we don't have speakers.
Patch it in the PA.
Whoa, genius.
I do my best thinking on the toilet, too.
Okay, bye.
( footsteps recede )
We come with glad tidings. Ms. Peyton?
We are sending you to a local hospice
with a mountain of C-22.
The two of you have been coloring outside the lines.
- ( laughs ) - Look, but you have to know,
this facility cannot administer it to you.
So you better make sure I'm on that visitor list every day.
Oh, thank you.
We did it. We can keep going.
- You've done so much for me. - Ah, Joe.
It's nothing, truly.
Bernie, I want to ask you to do me one more favor.
Yeah, name it.
Help me die.
Joe.
I've been living in a hospital for two years.
We've never discussed this.
This is absolute nonsense.
No.
No, it's not.
I'm sorry, honey.
I wish I could be stronger for you.
God damn it. Joe, you do not get to do this.
Listen to me, science is showing us
that C-22 will give you another two, three months.
Who knows what new discoveries will come along in that time?
Don't you want those two months?
Listen, listen to what he's saying.
I want to die while I'm still me.
( sighs )
I'm sorry.
I cannot help you.
It's pretty heavy in there.
Yeah.
A couple months from now, a few years,
it would've been a different story for Joe.
He just got sick at the wrong time.
Probably not how you wanted to spend your wedding day.
I'm a type one diabetic and I'm the healthiest I've ever been.
I am a miracle of modern medicine.
And so is my husband.
I didn't know Reuben was a diabetic.
He's not. Reuben has HIV.
But he's undetectable.
And with his medication, we are gonna live a very long life together.
Yes, you are.
And I am so happy for you.
My husband wants to die and I'm just fighting with him.
You had a natural reaction
to extraordinary circumstances.
Just... I miss fighting with him about nothing.
I can understand that.
Are you married?
I know what it's like to care for somebody.
He said...
the thing I've been so afraid to say out loud.
That life would be easier...
his life, my life.
God, I'm terrible.
Maybe you're more ready for this than you care to admit.
Hey, I spoke to Natalie.
We need to help them.
Yeah, that is what I'm trying to do.
Bernie, they're both ready to let go.
This is not some medical mystery you're gonna solve,
at least not today.
I'm not gonna give up on my patient.
It's not about you. He's suffering, they both are.

Okay, fire up.
