The Night Shift

The shift has barely started

and I'm already sweating my butt off.

You hit the gym? I tried, but the lot was full.

Some jackass in a BMW parked crooked

and took the last two spaces.

I had to park on the street and walk in this humidity.

Look, it's not my fault those spaces are so small.

You know, it's like you have to drive a prius

in order to be able to get out of your car.

Wait a minute. You drive a BMW? That BMW?

Well, maybe if you got here a bit earlier,

you'd get a better space.

Interns should be the first to arrive and the last to leave,

in my humble opinion.

Oh, my god. You are so annoying.

Hey, you know what? Get along.

Don't make me separate the two of you.

Hey, Scott. Um, do you have a minute?

What's up?

Um...

I wanted to apologize to you for what I said about Annie.

You know what?

Let's keep our personal and our professional matters separate.

It's better that way.

Whoa.

You look like you just went five rounds with Nate Diaz.

It's worse. Kenny's crushing me with this training.

Why don't you join us?

I'll let you two play together.

So, uh, Kenny's new physical regimen

is really working out, huh? It's unbelievable.

No more panting up stairs

or back pain picking up the twins.

I feel great, 10 years younger.

Yeah, too bad you don't look the part.

Sydney: You gotta see this.

I surprised Riley at school when I got back.

Watch her freak out.

We both cried like babies.

Well, yeah, you know, I'm gonna cry.

I love these parent-soldier reunions.

Hey, mom, can I spend the night at Elise's house tonight?

We'll talk about it later.

But, mom... After the fireworks.

- You got it? - Got it.

You know I love you.

I love you, too, mom.

Hold on, just a second. Let me straighten your ribbon.

So, how's it been, coming back?

I'm just trying to get into the flow again with Riley.

You know, I feel like I've missed so much.

And I can't thank you enough for all you've done for her.

Least I can do.

And we've been having a ton of fun.

Anyway, I just... I know she's happy you're back, and so am I.

Well, I'm not so sure her father is.

He's gotten accustomed

to having his own way in my absence, and, uh...

But that's not the way it works, right?

I mean, you both get a say.

That's early. Yeah, it's very early.

Riley!

Riley!

Hey. Have you, uh, have you seen Paul?

Thankfully, no. You need something?

Only his company

for the spurs-warriors game tomorrow afternoon.

One of my clients at the gym gave me front row seats.

Well, maybe his chauffeur can drive you there in his beemer.

Hey. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Easy, old-timer. You lost?

I'm not lost. This the er, ain't it?

Okay, calm down. What's your name?

Harold. Everything hurts.

Where does it hurt, Harold?

In my knee, in my chest, in my head.

I just need something to make the pain go away.

I've heard that one before. Let me show you to our waiting room.

But I can't wait!

I know.

Man.

You okay, man?

I just told you, it hurts all over.

I just...

I just need to sit down for a second and rest.

We'll take care of you, okay, Harold?

Take him to exam 1, please.

All right, look,

he's probably just looking to score some drugs and grub,

so treat him quick and move him out.

Listen up, people!

We have a fireworks fiasco out at woodlawn park.

9-1-1 operator says it's an active situation.

Expect casualties.

Uh, drew's out there. I'm sure he's already helping.

Jordan, you're in charge. T.C., you're coming with me.

Chopper will have us there in 10 minutes.

I'll call the pilot. I already did.

Sydney: Riley!

Drew: Riley! Riley!

Riley, where are you?!

Riley! Riley!

She went that way! I'm right behind you.

Riley!

Riley!

Drew.

Riley!

Riley!

Riley!

Riley, where are you?!

Riley! Riley!

Mom! Drew!

Riley!

Mom!

My god.

You okay? I'm fine.

Let's see.

I'm fine.

Hey, you all right?

Woman: Help!

Help!

You stay right behind me,

and I mean literally right behind me. Okay.

Someone help my daughter!

Please, help my daughter.

I'll get the girl, you get the mom.

Okay. Just sit down.

I'm Dr. alister. What's your name?

Riley? Woman: Linda.

Are you okay? I want you to breathe through the scarf.

Linda: Please help my daughter. She's in good hands, okay?

Just focus on me. It's okay, sweetie.

Just wait for me right there, okay?

Linda: Ah! Darika.

Let me check your back. My name is Dr. Jennings.

What's your name, sweetie?

Darika. Darika.

You hang in there.

All right, I'm gonna take care of you.

Everything's gonna be all right.

Promise?

I dig the ink on your hand.

Where'd you get it? It looks familiar.

Oh, that's been around for thousands of years.

I'm more interested in the last few.

That's a tag for a street artist named yo-yo.

You know his work? Intimately.

I knew it. You're him.

Hey, just, shh.

Your secret's safe with me, yo-yo.

How long has this been swollen?

About a week, maybe.

Mm.

Aah!

Ow!

Is everything all right, doc?

We're gonna need to run a few more tests.

Hey.

So what's up with Mr. total body pain?

Can we discharge him? No, he's got a swollen knee.

I'm gonna need to tap the joint.

We got multiple incoming coming from the firework accident,

and you want to work with a guy with arthritis?

It could be a septic joint. Do me a favor.

Give him a motrin, refer him to a walk-in clinic,

and send him on his way. I'm begging you.

That's our chopper. Help should be here soon.

How you doing, Riley?

Ri, how are you?

I'm... I'm fine.

It's not much longer, okay?

Syd? We're gonna be right back. Just stay here.

Okay, from what I can tell,

she's got full thickness burns on her upper torso and arm.

Girl has multiple penetrating wounds to her neck and her face.

I'm worried about her airway.

Okay. Topher: Drew!

Hey! Hey! Over here!

Drew! This way.

Uh, Dr. Topher zia, Dr. t.C. Callahan

from my hospital.

This is Dr. Syd Jennings,

the orthopedist I worked with at bagram.

It's a pleasure.

Heard good things. What happened?

Fireworks meant for the end of the concert

went haywire in the middle.

Got lots of potential blast injuries.

You guys, take your patients, we'll stay.

Chopper's right over the hill.

Send it right back when you land. Okay, great.

Uh, hey, wait a minute. What about Syd?

She doesn't have privileges.

Privileged. I'll e-mail the board. Just go.

Topher, we need to set up a triage.

Okay, you set it up. I'll start herding patients your way.

Hey, Paul?

I need your help tapping a patient's knee.

Uh, you... you need... You need my help?

Like... like, Paul cummings?
