The Night Shift

I may not be able to make it.

Right.

Mom, I know it's your anniversary,

but they may extend me till October.

Well, it's a war. I don't control it.

Right, I know. Mom...

Okay.

Right, listen, I got to go.

My commander just came in. We got casualties coming in.

Right. Love you. Yeah.

I said, "what are you doing here?"

Working.

I know that.

I thought maybe you were going to take a week off,

you know, get settled back in.

I've lost four months of my chief year.

I'm not taking any more time off.

Okay. Welcome back.

- Incoming! - Who's that?

New intern, man. She's something else.

What do we got?

Wedding photo at wedding island gone wrong.

Bride tripped over her heels

bringing the groom with her into the river.

I'm fine. Just help my wife, please.

- Shannon. - On it.

Hey, sit down, sir.

It's easier if you don't fight us.

- Jordan. - Drew, hey.

We'll catch up later, okay?

This is the bride.

Possible c-spine injury.

My neck... Really hurts.

I know it does, sweetie. I'm Dr. Alexander.

I'm going to take care of you.

Can you tell me your name?

Kryztal. Where's my husband?

He's already inside getting treated,

so let's get you in there, too.

All right, drew, we got another one coming.

So let me know if you need any help.

I won't... Need any help.

The rest of the wedding party.

I got a major emergency here.

Pete here has got a broken... Heart

from not getting to nail the hot bridesmaid.

You think that's funny,

you bunch of entitled ass wipes?

Huh?

Hey, people die here, all right?

They bleed on the ground you're standing on.

Drew, get the patient. The patient.

I'm with the doc. Bunch of frat boy a-holes.

This is Jorge, father of the bride.

He's got a head laceration and angulated wrist fracture.

Otherwise known as an owie.

I'm fine, doc. How's my little girl doing?

Let's get you cleaned up first, then we'll check on her.

Will there be any celebrities?

Oh, of course, Mrs. zia. You'll be here.

Thanks for being here

and blowing off your date.

Oh, I didn't blow it off. It wasn't a date.

Just going to meet her later at her place.

My point is thanks for being my buffer.

Just gotta show her a good time

and then she leaves bright and early in the morning.

No problem. I love your mom.

You wouldn't say that

if she came to stay with you for a month.

It's almost over. I get my life back.

Oh, this is so exciting.

I love the fancy casinos in Atlantic city.

Here, guys. Have a little fun on me.

Drink, gamble.

Maybe you'll find another hot chick here tonight.

Maybe...

Or maybe not.

This place is a dump, Christopher.

Why would you bring me here?

- Just keep her busy. - I got you.

Come on, Mrs. zia. Let's go have some fun.

Okay, does this hurt?

No.

All right. How about here?

A little.

All right.

K, you all right?

I'm fine.

Sorry, he wouldn't sit still.

Wanted to be with his wife.

It's okay. We're going to take her to ct,

clear her cervical spine.

Is there any news on the father?

Don't waste your breath on him.

Okay.

Just, he ruins everything.

This... this is all his fault.

It's a long story.

It's the same story.

He says he's sober and he's not.

My mother passed last year,

and I just wanted someone from my family at my wedding.

I... I should've known better.

And he... he...

Kryztal? Kryztal?

Kryztal?

What's happening?! Help her.

Colles' fracture.

Orthopod should get here in a few hours.

I'm fine.

All right, good.

Now let's take a look at this cut here.

Heard the nurses talking.

Army doc, huh? Where were you stationed?

This time, bagram.

Was a medic in Iraq, back when it was the wild west.

Those were the days.

You ever do patrol on al-rashid street

between shuhada? - And the anhar Bridges.

That crammed bazaar there,

waiting any second for someone to hit an ied.

That was the hairiest thing

I've ever been through in my life.

Where were you?

'03, I was chasing down Saddam.

Back in '04 and '05.

Then kandahar, '07 and '09.

Sounds like you should've bought some property.

Yeah. Everybody needs a good mud hut, right?

Yeah.

You married?

To another soldier.

Smart man. My wife never did get it.

World goes on without you, you know?

Yeah, I got a friend back there

that's missing her daughter's 13th birthday.

It's all she can think about.

I missed plenty of those.

Recitals, dances, soccer games.

Truth is, my daughter didn't want me at her wedding.

Well, that sounds a little harsh.

Yeah.

Irony is that every time I was out there,

every single time, just the thought of my daughter

was the only thing that kept me going.

Yeah.

Eric: Please, help her!

Does she have a history of fainting?

No, no way.

Is it possible she's pregnant?

I don't think so.

I mean, she... She would've told me.

Any drugs, alcohol?

No. Yeah, actually.

She's taking anti-anxiety medicine for the wedding.

She's so high-strung,

she was having bad dreams and nightmares.

Okay. Can you tell me the names of these medications?

I... I don't know. I'm sorry. I don't know.

All right. Let's get her to ct.

Can I go with her?

Once she's conscious, you can.

But we have to take her for some scans, all right?

We'll be back.

I love you, k!

Dealer: 5.

No more underhand throws, old man.

And no more lip, dollface.

Unless you want to plant them on mine.

If you don't crap out,

I'll do whatever you want with my eyes open.

Oh.

Who's this child? Is that your boyfriend?

Maybe he is. Maybe he isn't.

You just broke my heart.

- Ah. Come on. - Easy 4.

She crushed me. What can I say?

If you give him some love, he'll get back on a roll.

Stop shooting blanks, old man.

I'll give you my number if you roll me something good.

Well, now I got incentive.

No, no, you don't, and no, you won't.

What's going on here?

I take one call from Janet, and you're playing craps?

What happened to bingo?

Hey, your mother won't be kept down.

I don't know. She's good.

Bingo is boring.

Why would you bring me to a casino to play bingo?

Look in my eyes. Look in my eyes.

There you go.

Dealer: Hard 10, yeah!

- Yes! - Yes!

- Yes! - Yes!

Oh.

- Oh. - Oh, hey.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

No one touch this table.

Hey. Hands off. - Okay. Okay.
