The Night Shift

Man: So far, the fire has destroyed nine homes with no containment...

This fire keeps spreading.

Yeah, word from the front is it's only getting worse.

We can expect more burn victims

and more smoke-inhalation patients.

A lot more. Everybody, get your game faces on!

Hard to put on your game face

when your owner's throwing the game.

Do you have an ETA on our pink slips?

Paul: Whoa, whoa. Nothing's official.

Hobart hasn't bought anything yet, right?

That's right. They haven't.

And I've reached out to other buyers

to try and convince them to top Hobart's bid

and keep us together.

So until I hear back, let's... let's keep the faith, Mollie.

My landlord doesn't take faith

at the first of the month, Topher.

Mollie! Heat exhaustion.

Just needs an I.V., couple hours off his feet.

He ain't the only one.

Mollie.

Topher, don't take it personally, okay?

Mollie's got three offers from other E.R.s.

All of the nurses have options.

I hear some of the doctors, too. How many do you have now?

Three. Including Baltimore.

Gwen wants me to move back, but I'm not biting.

Okay? Neither is anyone else here.

We all know we're never gonna find a work family like this again.

Hey, she needs a head C.T. and stitches.

Chopper's refueling, then going back for more patients,

but it looks like space is at a premium here.

Well, we'll find more space. Everybody, stop worrying.

The E.R. is not closing.

There's a lot of interest in this place, I'm telling you.

We're gonna stay together. It's gonna be fine.

Yeah, no, I-I-I agree.

It's all right. It's all... It's all gonna be fine.

Yeah, for you and Scott.

You're surgeons. Hobart won't drop you.

The rest of us are S.O.L.

Woman: 30-year-old female

scouting the fire on an ATV when it rolled.

She wound up in the flames.

Second- and third-degree burns to her abdominal wall.

Possible internal injuries. ATV landed right on top of her.

Okay. Trauma 1.

And you've got more coming in.

What happened?

Knucklehead was trying to save his furry friends

when the fire broke out.

Trap bit him.

Maybe a little bit of situational awareness

might save you some pain next time, you damn hippie.

Okay. Incoming. Trauma 2.

My name is Derrick, and it's nothing like the pain

those animals feel, you fascist!

Topher: Hey, Mac!

Last time I saw you, you were laying down fire in Afghanistan.

Last time I saw you, you were running from it.

Hey, Drew. This is Mac Riley.

He helped T.C. and I out last year in Afghanistan.

- Oh. - Drew Alister, Army doc.

Iraq, Afghanistan.

Still racking up trips... can't get enough.

Yeah, you're gonna miss it when you're out.

- Drew! - Oh! Hey, uh, duty calls.

Good to meet you, man. - Yeah, nice to meet you.

- Thank you. - Oh, hey, Doc.

- Yeah. -Look, before I head back out,

I got a favor to ask you.

Thinking about getting back into the contracting field,

and, uh, I just need a doc's John Hancock

on my physical form.

Yeah, sure. Come on back.

I'll check you out.

Yeah, I got to get back to my team, Doc.

W-Why don't you just pencil-whip that?

Well, I ca... I can't just sign it.

Quick physical, you're on your way.

10 minutes tops. Hey, Natalie?

Uh, can we set him up, uh, Trauma 3?

- Sure thing. -Hey, so, where's T.C.?

He's back overseas.

You can take the boy out of the fight,

not the fight out of the boy.

Yeah, tell me about it.

We've been here a month and the Turks still won't let us cross the border.

You change those dressings twice a day.

Thank you.

Your help is much appreciated.

But many more of my people are in need.

Well, there are only two of us, Hamdi,

so we're doing the best with what we have.

Do you want this?

Get back!

Looks like we're gonna need more supplies.

Excuse me, sir! Sir!

We have walked many miles... no food, no water!

Sir, please. Many of us are hurt.

Please help. What are you doing?

We don't know where these people came from.

We don't know who they are.

We didn't know Hamdi until we knew him, either, okay?

Okay, but we are at capacity,

and we are running out of drugs.

Sometimes you just got to wing it, okay?

We'll... We'll make a plan later. We'll just figure it out.

Open the gate. No, no, no!

What are you doing?! What are you doing?!

Don't open the gate! Don't open the gate!

Hey! Hey! Calm down!

Close the gate!

Calm down! It's okay! Hey! Hey! Hey!

There's water in the tent.

I just feel like you've been really distant this week.

No, I have not been distant.

I'm just... There's so much going on here

with the possible sale of this place.

I mean, do I go back to Dallas if it happens?

Do I stay? Dallas?

- Well... - And here do I fit in there?

Well, I don't know. It's...

There's my answer.

Look, there's so much going on here tonight.

Can we talk about it later?

Woman: Dr. Franklin, 3721. Sure.

Dr. Franklin, 3721. Yo, Toph. Hey.

Hey, we got a problem.

Uh, I just finished inventory on Pyxis,

and drugs came up missing. Uh, a dozen Norco.

Now, the day shift's count was all good, so this is on us.

- You sure? - I triple checked.

I know how bad this looks with you

trying to find another buyer for the hospital.

I mean, this could scare them all away.

Don't remind me. Okay. Check the logs.

Uh, see who accessed the Pyxis.

This can get sticky, so until we know more, keep it quiet.

Okay.

Everything... hurts.

I'm not surprised.

You've got a bad stomach burn and bruises everywhere.

Just try to relax. I'm Dr. Rivera, by the way.

Valeska.

Two months on the job and I'm already in the E.R.

Mom's gonna love this.

She didn't want you to be a firefighter?

Oh, she wanted me to remain what I was...

A drone in a cubicle.

In before sunrise, out after sunset.

I was more vampire than human. I hated it.

But my mom, she loved it.

Probably seemed safer to her.

Mm, safety had nothing to do with it.

She... It was just what was expected.

It was all that was expected.

You know, don't rock the boat.

Don't color outside the lines.

Maybe she was right.

Okay, level with me, Doc.

Will... Will I be able to return to the department?

We're gonna do everything we can to make that happen.

Uh, it t-took me eight years

to work up the courage to leave that job.

If I end up back where I started,

it'll be like everything I did in between was all...

for naught.

Like... Like it nev... never happened.

Like I never left.

I know that feeling.

Valeska, are you feeling short of breath?

Mm.

Get me a blood gas kit,

and please see if Dr. Cummings is out of surgery.

I checked the log. Mollie, Jocelyn, and Heather

were the only ones to access the Pyxis tonight.

But Annie shadowed all of them.

Annie. I forgot she's been shadowing.

This night just keeps getting better.

Tell me about it.

Just got a call from my landlord.

The bathroom in my gym leaked into the business below.

$2,500 in water damage and climbing.

I'm sorry to hear that.

I don't know how you do this job and run a business.

Yeah, me neither. Probably not the best of ideas.

But, look, as far as suspects are concerned,

I think Annie's a pretty good place to start.

Come on, man.

You really think that three of our best nurses

just up and suddenly decided to start stealing drugs?

- No, that's not... that's not... - Hey, what...

What are you talking about? Who's stealing drugs?

Let... Let's talk about this...

Uh, Norco is missing from the Pyxis.

Several nurses used it tonight.

We're just trying to narrow down who.

And you think Annie did it.
