Die ersten 200 Zeilen.
Dr. Hayes used his hand to move down my body,
pinning me against the table.
Because this is the first accusation against him,
his privileges won't be revoked.
I understand how you feel... exactly how you feel.
Dr. Archer is aware of our family history.
Oh, that we have a 50/50 chance of inheriting
a cruel and sudden death?
Can't keep hiding from the truth.
We'll face it together.
I'm very sorry to say we cannot approve you
as a surrogate at this time.
It's something we found when we ran your labs.
The surgery's been canceled.
He rigged the system somehow.
He took the lungs from my patient
and gave them to his own daughter.
I did what I had to do to give my daughter a chance.
Would you rather have me just sit and watch her die?
Thank you for coming.
I didn't think you would.
Neither did I.
So what is it you want to say to me?
Um...
I've had a lot of time to think about what I did to you.
I was obviously not of right mind after Wendy died.
But I've been put on an antipsychotic,
and... and I've accepted Jesus Christ into my heart.
I asked you to come here today
because I wanted to tell you how deeply sorry I am
for the pain that I caused you.
And I wanted to ask
if you could find it in your heart to forgive me.
Stop.
Uh-uh.
You don't get to preach to me, ever.
And no, I don't forgive you.
Forgiving you won't erase the scar on my stomach.
It won't erase the fact that I see your face
when I close my eyes at night.
I have to live with what happened to me every day.
And so should you.
I'll pray for you.
Pray for yourself.
I'm good.
You're pregnant?
Yeah.
Um...
does Mitch know?
You're the first person that I've told.
Look, I am so sorry.
This, um... this wasn't planned.
Do you... do you not believe me?
Of course I believe you.
But it's just typical Hannah.
Okay, look, Lizzy, I can have this baby,
and then I can still be your surrogate.
- Oh, come on. How is that gonna work?
You will have a baby.
That will be your focus, your life.
I should have known better than to trust you again.
- Oh, come on. That's not fair.
Fair? Are you kidding?
I've spent years watching out for you, after Mom died,
when you went to med school, when you got hooked on heroin.
I have done everything that I can
to help you on this journey to have a baby.
Oh, do you want some extra credit?
Lizzy!
I have been in this with you from the start,
and I have worked my ass off
to make up for all of those horrible things that I did!
This baby?
This baby isn't that.
Isn't there... isn't there some... some small part of you
that's actually happy for me?
Once again, it's my fault.
Stop.
You're a child.
Yeah, proudly.
Uh, I don't wanna keep you in suspense.
You're negative for GSS.
Congratulations.
Oh, my God.
Wait, wait, wait.
I see the blue envelope in your pocket.
What does it say, Caty?
Also negative.
Thank God.
Oh, God!
I just assumed that we were...
- Me too. -
Wait, so what caused the weakness?
The same thing that caused your tremor.
Your brother has a severely herniated disk.
He's responding to steroids.
You should follow up with Dr. Abrams,
but he'll make a full recovery.
And I'm... I'm...
I'm very happy for you, Caitlin.
Yeah, but what about me?
Yeah, I'm just less invested.
Oh.
Violet, you're going to Trauma 1.
- What have we got, Novak? - Auto versus tree.
19-year-old female, the driver and sole occupant.
BP 129/60, heart rate 75.
She hit it going 50.
Had to use the jaws of life to pry her out.
Multiple abrasions to the face and chest.
Feels like she could have a couple of broken ribs.
GCS was 13 to 14 on the ride in.
Call Dr. Charles.
Why?
This is his daughter, Anna.
...
Has anyone called her mother to let her know?
I did.
Susan's catching the first flight.
- Sharon, how's she doing? - She's holding her own.
CT scan found a nasal bone fracture, but no brain bleed.
Okay. Is she awake?
Uh, Dr. Ripley still has her sedated.
- Oh, my God, Anna. - Dr. Charles.
- What's the status, buddy? What... what are we looking at?
I'm watching her concussion closely.
She, uh... she slammed her head pretty hard.
She also sustained three broken ribs
and a left distal radius fracture I reduced.
What's going on?
Why was my surgery canceled?
Noah, unfortunately, the ODA has changed course,
and they are giving the lungs to another recipient.
Wait, what?
But how can they just do that after they already said
they're giving the lungs to Noah?
I mean, how can they just do that?
- No, they can't. This isn't right.
Just... I need you to explain to us
what happened so I can fix this.
Mr. Macron, I wish there was something I could do, okay?
And I tried my very best to argue our case
as strongly as I could.
Try harder.
I'm sorry.
So what do we do now?
Well, given the circumstances of Noah's lung function,
we need to buy some more time.
And the best way to do that is to put you on ECMO.
A machine that breathes for me?
Hey, look, I know that's scary, okay?
But you are still at the top of the transplant list.
Like that actually means something.
Walter, stop.
Okay, we need to do what it takes right now
to give you the best shot to be ready
when the next set of lungs come along.
Okay, but you said that ECMO could carry other risks
that might make transplant more difficult.
I did, yes.
We don't have any other choice.
And ECMO could give your lungs more time to heal.
How long can he survive on ECMO without new lungs?
A few weeks, maybe a month.
How soon does he have to go on it?
Within the hour.
I'll be okay, Dad.
Yeah.
Yeah, you're gonna be good.
You're gonna be okay.
Sweetie, you're doing great.
I...
I heard Griffin Lancer removed you
as Alea's primary physician.
Uh, yeah.
Yeah, he did.
The guy's an entitled egomaniac,
but I don't really blame him one bit.
Why?
'Cause you'd do the same thing for your kids?
Yeah.
In a twisted way, he's just being the best dad
he knows how to be.
When you love someone that much,
it opens you up to so much pain.
They say it's like having your heart
run around outside your body.
Yeah, it makes you wonder if it's really worth it.
Anna's oxygen saturation continues to improve,
using her incentive spirometer.
Okay, well, that... that sounds like really good news.
It's a step in the right direction.
The pulmonary contusion must not be
so bad under her rib fracture.
So the seat belt broke her ribs?
Uh, no.
Anna wasn't wearing a seat belt.
That doesn't sound like Anna.
She actually broke her ribs on the steering wheel
upon impact.
