Previously on "Nurse Jackie"...
Jackie: Hi. Yes, this is Dr. Carrie Roman.
I'm calling in an OxyContin prescription for my patient to pick up.
Pharmacist: Miss Wood?
( inhales, laughs )
What the fuck? You brought a drug dealer to Dad's wedding?
Jackie, I want you to leave.
- The three of us just need some girl time. - You need help, Mom.
- You ruined my wedding. - I am talking to my daughter.
- Okay, well, I can call Kevin. - What the fuck are you talking about?
Why don't you save your questions for our lawyer?
'Cause that's who you're gonna be talking to from now on.
I'm almost 40. I don't have anything to show for it.
Carrie: I'm, like, two minutes pregnant.
Would you keep it under your hat?
Should I go back to school and get a master's degree?
Jackie?
I think it's a great idea, Zoey.
Here is your letter of recommendation.
( monitor beeps, flatlining )
What the fuck? What just happened?
Zoey: Jackie almost killed a patient today.
Gloria: You have anything else you want to tell me
that is relevant to Jackie's drug use here at All Saints?
- No. - This is about the fucking insulin?
You used a picture of a dying nun to make a fake ID.
You stole Carrie's DEA number. That's a federal offense.
This has got to be hard for you.
What's hard for me is that you've been using this whole time.
Gloria: You have a choice. Either a diversion program
or take the test, and if you test positive, you will lose your license.
Can you help me?
Jackie Peyton, could you come talk with us, please?
Jackie, don't do this!
Man on TV: Hurricane Penny caused mass destruction.
Floridians are just beginning to assess the damage.
Eddie: Boarding pass and some cash.
Flight leaves at 5:45.
- Don't be late. - I need a doctor, please! I need help!
Your belt. Give me your belt.
- ( sirens approaching ) - Help is coming.
- Zoey: Where did Jackie go? - Where she had to.
( tires squeal )
- Ma'am, are you in any way impaired? - No.
( music playing )
( camera shutter clicks )
- Necklace. - My necklace, really?
I promise you I'm not gonna hang myself with it.
Necklace.
Thank you. Next.
( voices echoing )
( buzzer sounds )
( woman chattering )
Do you have any idea how long till my arraignment,
give or take? Do you know?
Ma'am, you may be here a few more hours.
You got to feed Taz for me.
Yeah, I know he bites, bitch, but I ain't letting him starve to death.
You know how much a purebred Rottweiler costs?
Fuck you looking at?
( sighs )
Nurse Barkow? I have one more question
about the disimpaction procedure.
Rosa, I am done for the day.
Hey, you wanna join me and Reuben for a margarita?
Or five?
Not even a little, but thanks.
Any word from our friend?
Nope, haven't heard from her all day.
( phone vibrates )
Hello?
Robotic voice: Hello, do you accept a collect call
from Queens Central Booking from Jacqueline Peyton?
Yes.
Hey, Eddie, I never made it to Miami.
I got arrested on the way to the airport.
Jesus Christ. You okay...
Mom?
Well, I'm in jail and I feel like shit,
so, no, I am very not okay.
All right, all right, I'll come and get you.
No, do not come here. Don't even think about it.
Please. That would make things much worse for both of us.
Please just make sure we're covered, okay?
Okay, Mom, I'll take care of it.
- Is she okay? - Yeah, she's a tough lady, so...
Thanks.
So, you sure there's nothing else I can do?
Seriously, Eddie, don't come here.
I should be out in a few hours.
All right.
Hang in there.
Dinner, ladies.
( buzzer sounds )
I was supposed to be out of here this morning.
This is... it's been a whole other day.
Guard: Sadly, it's not a perfect system.
Please, listen. I am sick, okay?
- Please. - What kind of sick?
I am detoxing from opiates.
I am dehydrated. I am tachycardic.
I feel like shit. I've thrown up two times. Please.
- Tacha-what? - Listen, I am an ER nurse.
I know what's going on inside my body.
I know what's gonna happen. None of this is good. Please.
Hold on.
What the hell is this?
Kick kit. It helps the withdrawals.
Imodium and two fucking Handi Wipes?!
( sighs )
( shivers )
You look like shit.
I feel like shit.
Anything I can do?
No. You can talk.
- Talk about what? - I don't know, anything.
Talk about, I don't know, why are you in here?
Smoking weed on my stoop.
Oh, yeah, this ain't Colorado.
( chuckles ) I'm just glad they didn't search my place or some shit
because smoking pot's about the least illegal thing I do, you hear me?
Yeah. ( sniffles )
( moans )
DWI.
And I've done worse.
Anyone know?
About the worse?
Yeah, there's a young woman
that works for me.
She's kind of like a protege, I guess.
( laughing ) Look at you, all "protege."
( woman's laughter echoing )
Yo, CO!
Welcome back. I'm Herman Wainess, your public defender.
We have five minutes.
Where are... Where am I?
Bellevue, since Saturday night.
- And today is...? - Monday.
I have been in jail for four days?
Jail two, here two.
Why am I on naltrexone?
You went through sedated detox.
I never asked for that.
You definitely did not, hence the sedated part.
But you're clean now. How are you feeling?
How the fuck do you think I'm feeling?
Uh, detox helps your case.
Maybe not so much. You've been charged with drug trafficking.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
I am a nurse. All Saints.
I was on my way to Miami to help with the hurricane relief effort.
That is why I had the meds.
Well, the good news is your arraignment's in the morning.
- And then you're out of here. - All right.
'Cause I have a life I got to get back to.
I got kids, a job.
If you still have one.
I had 400 bucks in here.
Look deeper.
You're selling my own drugs back to me?
Miss Peyton?
Helps the medicine go down.
Hi. I really need to talk to you.
Can you give me a minute?
I'm too busy.
And I need to not talk to you.
Uh...
I'm not leaving till you hear me out, okay? So...
I just wanted to thank you.
You're welcome. For what?
I'm clean today because of you.
Rehab is 28 days. It hasn't even been a week.
I can't afford a 28-day program.
I went through detox and I'm doing outpatient rehab.
If that's true, good for you.
And it's because of you, Zoey.
Because you had the courage to stand up...
I'm sorry, I can't believe anything that you say.
Thanks, I'll take a look at these.
You should really go.
( knocks )
Where did you go through detox?
Queens Recovery Center.
I've got a newcomers meeting at 3:30 this afternoon.
Oh, no, I would love to. I've got my kids.
Tomorrow, then. We have a 2:00 open.
Yeah, that sounds great. Why don't you put me down for that?
Name, please?
Jackie Peyton.
Okay.
- What happened? - Paramedic: Male, 23.
Face planted off a skateboard while holding onto the back of a FreshDirect truck.
- Jackass. - I wish, bro.
All right, on three. One, two...
Ah, ah, ah, ixnay on the iftinglay.
Hey, Zoey, little help?
( quietly ) A woman in your condition, hmm?
You can death-stare all you want. That's all I'm saying.
One, two, three.
Why can't you do this?
Wrists, back, ankle.
( phone line rings )
Woman on phone: Queens Recovery.
Uh, yes, hello. I'm Jackie Peyton.
Um, I'm calling to confirm an appointment.
Woman on phone: I'm sorry, what's your name again?
( with accent ) Um, do you not have me?
I'm... uh, Jac... Jacqueline Peyton.
Woman: Can you spell that for me?
Yeah, J-A-C,
uh, maybe Q?
- Last name's fine. - ( without accent ) P-E-Y-T-O-N.
Oh, I was spelling it with an A.
( with accent ) Ah, that always happens
when I give my name to people.
We have you down for 2:00 PM tomorrow.
( without accent ) You do? Um, great.
I just want to confirm. Thank you very much.
( beeping )
( exhales )
Someone's got good news.
Someone does.
Jackie detoxed and joined a rehab program.
Everything we did, it worked.
You deserve a lot of credit.
Aw, I was just trying to help.
Zoey, I've come to rely on you,
which is why I have decided to make you...
head ER nurse.
What?
Oh.
Wow.
We've never had an official head ER nurse before.
Not even Jackie.
Exactly.
After everything that's happened,
I'm gonna start doing things differently around here
and I need you to do it with me.
Oh, I did tell you she's in rehab, right?
She seems to be taking it very seriously.
We're not talking about Jackie.
We're talking about you and the future of this ER.
Well, I know I should be excited
and thanking you,
but I don't think this is the right time.
It is the time, Zoey, to move forward.
I'm sorry.
I don't feel right about it.
So, thank you, but no, thank you.
Zoey?
Think about it.
Looking for something special?
Um, I just want to look better.
Blush. It will wake you right up.
Same company makes this organic mascara.
I'm wearing it now.
See how it volumizes?
Oh, yeah. Yeah, it does. It volumizes.
Can I ring these up for you?
Uh, no, I'm good.
( music playing )
Thank you, sir.
I come in peace.
Look, Kevin, I came here to say that for the sake of the girls,
I really hope we can just deal with each other
like two responsible adults, please.
None of this "talking through the lawyers" stuff that Mia's going on about.
She cannot be the gatekeeper to my daughters.
I want to see the girls.
You can't.
Excuse me?
You can't see them at all.
What are you talking about?
You're a drug addict.
And it's not safe for the girls to be around you,
so seeing them is off the table.
Please, Kevin, will you give me a break?
I am sober now. I am not using.
( chuckles )
Where were you this past week?
Really? You want to know where I was?
I went to a detox program.
( chuckles ) Is that what you call jail?
I was notified of the accident.
The car's still in my name.
Grace and Fi could have been with you.
Oh, Kevin, please. I would not have put them in that danger.
Yeah, me neither.
I went through a rough patch.
I am sorry. I am clean now.
- I'm starting a new... - There's nothing new about any of this.
There's nothing new you can say.
You don't have any compassion?
I do.
For my daughters.
So your burgers are, uh...
I came here to make things right, okay?
Don't use this shit against me like some fucking trump card.
Do not kick me when I'm down. You've known me a long time.
You know that I'm gonna do whatever it takes.
Don't be an asshole about this.
Who needs a microwave this big?
- Oh, I blame the Jews. - Excuse me?
That kosher deli downstairs...
Amazing food, right? Till they went out of business.
- Now I have to, like, cook. - ( chuckles )
Dude, you're such a gentleman.
I wasn't gonna let you carry this up four flights of stairs.
Besides, now I get to finally see your place.
How come you never invited me o... ver?
We were always at your place.
But this is a good apartment, right?
Should that burner be on?
Oh, I made tea.
When?
This morning, before work. I was so not awake yet.
Well, what do you think?
Property values in this neighborhood must be through the roof.
You know how much this place is worth now?
What do you mean?
Well, what do you think about you selling this place
and I would sell my place
and we'd get a bigger place for the three of us?
( laughs )
Oh, I don't own this apartment.
You mean we could, like, buy something together?
Yeah.
Wow, okay, whoa. That's a lot of big life changes.
Awesome, huh?
It's totally awesome.
What's that smell?
That's a Rashid Johnson.
I outbid two Cuomos to get that piece.
Oh, it's, uh, very powerful.
It is.
Miss Peyton, first off, let me say
that the work you and all the ER nurses do for the people of New York
is, well, it's nothing short of heroic.
Oh, thank you, Mr. Wolfe.
- Please, it's Barry. - Barry.
Uh, I'm Jackie.
Jackie, have a seat. ( clears throat )
My mother was a nurse.
I know all too well the sacrifice
and generosity of spirit that comes with the job.
Also, I know all too well
the, uh, silent dangers
that lurk within the institution.
Being a nurse is more than what you do.
It's who you are.
Well, I see now why my nursing union said that you were the best.
Your union is right. I am the best.
Because I only take on winners.
The criminal part of your case is something we can deal with.
You know, first offense and such.
I just want my job back.
Right.
Miss Peyton... Jackie, I don't want to waste your money.
As it stands, I don't see a scenario
where you get your license back and keep your job.
- Wait a second... - I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Your case just isn't strong enough to meet my criteria,
but thank you so much for considering our firm.
( scoffs )
Hey, criminal.
That's hilarious.
Heard you stopped by the hospital.
Eddie, you really shouldn't be here,
not with everything that's going on right now.
I'm radioactive.
I forged Akalitus's signature
on some fraudulent invoice forms to cover for you.
If I get in trouble, I get in trouble.
But you're not getting rid of me.
You're insane.
Says the woman who just got out of prison.
It was a holding cell in Queens.
It's not really the same thing.
Yeah, you would know.
( sighs ) Oh, my God.
I just did a little stint in the slammer.
I got you committing forgery.
What the fuck is going on?
I don't know, baby. I'm just following your lead.
It could be worse.
- Really? How's that? - You could be in Miami.
I could be sitting here wondering when I'm gonna see you again.
'Cause I've missed you.
I missed you more.
'Course you did. You were in jail.
Oh, hey.
What's up, Grace?
Can I crash with you for a few nights?
At my place?
My dad and Mia are driving me insane.
I promise I won't get in the way.
And I can pay for part of the rent.
I just want to hang with a friend, you know?
Yes.
You and I are totally friends.
But this wouldn't be cool.
You can't just leave your family and come stay with me.
- Fuck it. - Hey, hey, hey.
I know that things are tough right now,
but they're going to get better.
Your mom is in rehab.
What are you talking about? My mom just got out of jail.
- ( knocks ) - ( door opens )
I thought about it.
- About what? - The head nurse position.
You said to think about it. I thought about it.
- I want it. - Good.
But, like, so what would that entail?
I'm starting to get cold.
Why are we still sitting here?
I'm not ready to go in yet.
I need you to do something for me.
Take these, please.
I need you to help me sweep the house.
I got to get rid of all the pills.
You're serious.
I can't not be a nurse.
I need my life back.
For you? Piece of cake.
I'm serious.
Nobody knows how to get out of a tough spot like...
No, this is not a tough spot, Eddie.
This is a fucked-up spot.
Nobody believes a word I say anymore.
They look at me like I'm a...
junkie.
So, what are you going to do?
Something happen I don't know about?
I'm in the same what-the-fuck boat you are.
This is my desk.
Are you Jackie? I've heard so much...
- Get out of my chair. - Oh, you are Jackie. Ah!
Did I miss a people-people?
I'm guessing no.
What the hell are you doing here?
I'm, uh, reporting for work. I'm clean.
You want me to pee in a cup?
Let me be perfectly clear
in front of all of these witnesses.
You are not welcome here.
Oh. What are you saying, Gloria?
'Cause without the words, it doesn't really mean anything.
Okay, Jackie Peyton, I'm saying exactly this.
- You are fired. - Just like that?
That's how you fire somebody who's worked here for over 20 years?
( chuckles ) Oh, please.
- You and I both know. - Know what?
I tried to help you.
I gave you a choice and you walked out on me.
No, actually, I went to a detox fac...
Jackie, I'm tired of it. The lies, the schemes.
I'm more than tired.
I'm done with it.
I'm done with you.
Gloria, I did what you asked.
I'm in rehab, I'm here, I'm ready to work.
You are not ready for anything!
You're dangerous! You're a junkie!
I bet you're high right now!
Get out of my ER!
I was wrongfully fired by All Saints Hospital.
Specifically by Gloria Akalitus, my immediate supervisor.
More than that, I was publicly defamed
in front of half a dozen of my colleagues,
also by Gloria Akalitus.
Now that I can work with.
