- Dr. Halstead, pharmacy won't release the medication.
- I've got an idea.
- There's a region-wide shortage.
I can't have it turning into the Wild West.
- I think we're already there.
- I'm a recovering addict.
I need to earn my reputation back with everyone.
But with you, it doesn't feel like that's ever gonna happen.
[tense music]
- You suffered a stroke.
- If I can't operate again, what does it matter?
- If it had been me on the table,
I'm pretty sure he would have done the same thing.
Hey. Sorry I'm late, Dean.
I don't know what was going on with traffic today.
- I got caught up in it too. You know,
you can blame the HyperTrain unveiling for that one.
It shut down the Red Line. A lot more people on the road.
- HyperTrain? - Yeah.
You know, Jack Dayton's new toy.
- Oh, yeah.
Jack Dayton. Right, Mr. Megabucks.
- Yeah. Yeah, sure, genius.
That HyperTrain is supposed
to revolutionize public transportation
by moving twice the speed of the L.
Meanwhile, it takes us schmucks in cars
twice as long to get to work.
- How come Blake's locker is empty?
- You hadn't heard? Blake tendered her resignation.
She's taking a job at Brigham and Women's.
- Boston? - Uh-huh.
Guess she's good enough to perform surgery again.
- When did all this happen? - Oh, I don't know.
I got an email about it last night.
- When is she leaving? She can't leave.
I need to talk to her.
- You probably blame yourself, huh?
No answer?
[hangs up] - Voicemail.
All right. I got to go talk to her.
I'll be back in an hour, OK? - All right.
Just don't make it any more than that.
- Hey, Candace. I'm Dr. Asher.
- Hi. - All right.
Well, it says in here that you are at 28 weeks.
- Mm-hmm. - So how's your pregnancy been?
- You know, it was going great,
but my lower back started hurting
about a week ago, this sharp pain.
And it's only gotten worse. - Mm-hmm.
- And I called my OB this morning.
And she told me to come here right away.
- OK. Have you had any abdominal pains, any cramping?
- No. No, just my back.
- OK, CBC, CMP, and urine cultures, please.
- Ooh.
- You OK? - No, no, no.
It's good. She's, um...
She's kicking. I'm sorry.
I've had three miscarriages over the last six years.
And I'm alone right now with my husband away on business,
so I'm kind of on edge.
- Well, that's totally understandable.
Let's get your feet up here, get you comfy.
We'll put you on a fetal heart rate monitor
just to make sure that that baby is happy and healthy.
All right? I'll be right back.
- Thank you.
- Maggie, you're back. - Hey.
Yeah. - How was your honeymoon?
It was Paris, right? - Mm-hmm.
[speaking French]
- Mm, nice.
- Oh, wait.
Paris sounds so great.
I've never been anywhere.
I have a passport. I've just never used it.
- It'll happen.
- [chuckles]
- Thank you.
Dr. Asher.
Just a reminder, you still need to submit your urine sample
for your weekly drug test.
- Right. Of course.
I've been doing it the last six months now.
How could I forget?
- OK, then.
[indistinct chatter]
- Nope. No pedestrian access here.
- Oh, come on, man.
My friend's building is up on Ontario.
- Sorry, the barricade is here for a reason.
Jack Dayton, he's showing off his new HyperTrain down there.
[ground rumbling] - Whoa!
[screaming]
What happened?
- The train jumped the tracks! [coughing]
- Hey, come on! Come on!
Are there more people down there?
Come on, come on. Let's go, let's go.
Go. Come on.
[coughing]
Hello?
Is anybody in there?
- Help!
- Hello?
- Over here!
♪
- Hello?
- Help us, please! Help us!
- Hold on! I'm coming!

.
- Oh, over here!
Hey!
Oh, thank God.
I tried 911, but there's no service down here, of course.
I'm Jack Dayton. - Yeah, I know.
Are you hurt? - I can't tell.
My leg's stuck. [strains]
- Easy, easy, easy.
All right. Here we go.
One, two, three.
- [grunts] Ow!
- Come here.
Your left knee. Here, sit down.
Let me take a look at that knee.
- It can wait. - I'm a doctor.
- Over there in the conductor's compartment.
His name is Nathaniel. He works for me.
He was driving the train. Come on.
- Nathaniel, can you hear me, bud?
Keep your weight off that left knee.
Hey, buddy. Can you hear me?
- Ah! - There you go.
- Ah, ah!
- All right. I think we can pull him out.
- [weakly] I can't--I can't breathe.
- Looks like the lithium ion battery got dislodged,
hit him in the chest.
OK.
All right. Here we go.
All right, I want you to--
I want you to grab him by his ankles.
Nathaniel, I'm gonna bring you up a little bit, OK?
- OK.
- [screams in pain]
- Keep going. Right here.
- Yeah. - Right here.
OK, OK.
It's gonna be all right. It's gonna be all right.
I got you, buddy. I got you.
There you go.
- [groaning] - OK, look at me.
Nathaniel, you have a flailed chest
and likely a hemopneumothorax, OK?
- What does that mean?
- He broke several ribs on both sides,
which is now causing a free-floating segment.
His lung is likely collapsed,
and his chest is filled with blood and air.
- Let's get him out of here. - No, no, no, no.
[rumbling]
Sounds like the tunnel is still coming down around us.
- Yeah, then we better move quick.
Come on. - No, no, no.
If we try to move him, we could make it worse.
- All right, then. I'll go get some help.
- No, it's too dangerous the way I came in.
All right? - So what do we do?
- We wait until CFD comes to get us out.
It's the safest option, all right?
I need to get control of this bleed.
I need to create a pressure dressing for this wound.
Give me your tie.
Hang in there for me, Nathaniel.
And you're gonna feel some pressure, OK?
- OK.
[screams in pain]
- Morning, Dr. Taylor.
- Hey.
Rose, Emmanuel, this is Dr. Halstead.
- Hi. Sorry to hear you're feeling poorly, Rose.
Dr. Taylor thought I might be able to help.
- The more, the merrier. I'm well-accustomed to doctors.
- My wife has type 1 diabetes and hypertension.
- But Rose is here today because of a chronic UTI.
Her internist prescribed her several rounds of antibiotics,
but none of them have done anything.
So I sent a urine test with cultures.
- Mm-hmm.
Multi-resistant fungal infection.
- "Fungal" is such an unpleasant word, isn't it?
A lot of medical words are--
phlegm, discharge.
- Rose taught 11th grade English composition
for 32 years.
Words are her thing.
- Some are just naturally embarrassing,
like having a fungus.
- Well, no need to be embarrassed here, Rose.
It says it's sensitive to voriconazole
and amphotericin only.
So voriconazole. 200 milligrams. IV.
- Um, I had the same thought, but there's a problem.
- It's on the shortage list. - For three weeks now.
- What about this other medication?
- Let us talk it over. We'll be right back.
Amphotericin B is old-school.
They call it amphoterrible. - I know.
And Rose's kidneys are already compromised
because of her diabetes.
Her creatinine is 2.8 to start.
Ampho will knock them out and put her in dialysis,
or worse, kill her.
- It has to be voriconazole.
Let's start calling around hospitals, pharmacies,
see if they have any. - No, I already did.
Everyone I talked to in Chicago was out.
I'm not sure what the next move is,
which is why I dragged you into this.
I mean, what do you do if you can't get the only drug
that'll treat an infection?
- The pain is localized to her back.
- It says here her UA is dirty.
- Yeah, that's not normal for a urine dip,
but it also doesn't scream infection either.
- Mm-hmm. - I checked the shortage list,
and I know that the contrast dye supply is low.
- It's currently restricted. - Yes.
But protocol also states that if a patient needs a CT--
- OK, did you ultrasound her for a kidney stone?
- No. - Why don't you?
- Kidney stones usually present in pregnant women
with peritonitis or flank pain. - Right.
- Candace only has low back pain.
- Sure. You can still ultrasound her to check.
- I could, but as we both know,
ultrasound is not very sensitive for a stone.
A CT would give me a much better picture
of what's actually going on. - OK.
So if the ultrasound doesn't show anything conclusive,
you'll order the CT, yeah?
- I'll do an ultrasound then. - Right.
And you might want to start her on empiric antibiotics too.
In case it's pyelonephritis, you should get ahead of that.
- I mean, like, it's perfectly natural
for a teenager to want distance from--
from their parents, right? But I don't know.
Recently, it just seems like she doesn't want anything
to do with me at all anymore.
- That may only be temporary.
And it's healthy for your daughter
to seek out this kind of independence.
- You think that I, of all people, wouldn't know that?
But I don't know, man.
It's been a...
surprisingly difficult pill to swallow, you know?
And that kind of dovetails with this other issue
that I'm having at work, right,
involving being there for patients in difficult times.
I mean, I'm used to living
in those uncomfortable moments, right?
I mean, it's what we do.
You know what I'm talking about.
You've been doing this a long time.
- Mm-hmm. - But recently,
when, say, I have to give a patient,
like, a really tough diagnosis, right,
like, tell them or the people that they love
that they have a lifelong mental illness--
- Their lives are over.
- Yeah.
And I've been haunted by these moments, right?
They stick with me.
It's like sometimes they stare back at me.
Sometimes they cry.
Sometimes they don't know what to do, nor should they.
But you know what? Maybe I should.
Dr. Greenwell?
- Please, go on.
- Are you all right?
- My chest.
[labored breathing]
I think--I think I might be having a heart attack.
- Dr. Greenwell! Otis!
Dr. Greenwell?
- What do we got? - Otis Greenwell, 52 years old.
Collapsed into a glass coffee table.
EKG was normal.
Multiple lacerations to the forearm.
We applied pressure dressings en route
and gave him an aspirin.
- He was having chest pains.
Make sure he gets a complete cardiac workup.
- Will do, Dr. Charles.
- I'll be right out here, Dr. Greenwell, OK?
- He's a doctor?
- Yeah. My therapist, in fact.
So take good care of him, OK?
- Pulse is weak.
He's likely in hemorrhagic shock from all the blood loss.
- Please, am I going to die?
- I'm gonna do everything in my power
to make sure that doesn't happen, OK?
All right.
[distant creaking]
- Anyone there? Anyone in there?
- Yeah, yeah! Hey, help us!
- Hey, Severide?
Severide, is that you?
It's Crockett!
- Crockett? Hey, what's going on in there?
What's the situation?
- There's three of us in here!
Two of us are OK, but the train's conductor,
he's badly hurt.
He's pretty shocky.
- This passageway is too narrow.
We'll try and widen it and get a backboard through.
It might take a while. - No.
No, listen to me. We can't wait.
I need you to get me some supplies off the ambo,
and I need you to call Med.
I need them to send some things you don't have.
- Copy that!
Just hold tight, Crockett!
- Nathaniel doesn't have that long.
If we're gonna save him, we got to do it right here, right now.
[tense music]
.
- People, I don't have many details,
but Crockett is down in the tunnel
trying to help those who are injured.
I do know that he is in touch with CFD
and appears to be safe at this time.
And I'll update you as soon as I hear anything more.
Thank you.
- Jeez.
I hope he's OK.
- Yeah.
Come on.
[elevator dings]
Ms. Goodwin, we were just coming to find you.
Do you have a second? - Sure.
- My patient, Rose Fremont,
has a serious fungal infection that needs treating.
And the only drug that can help her,
voriconazole, is unavailable all throughout Chicago.
- Well, could be just another region-wide shortage.
I'll reach out to our suppliers out of state.
The army, navy, and national guard
might be resources as well.
Just do what you can for her in the meantime.
- OK. She's gonna need pressors to keep her blood pressure up.
- Speaking of the army, I heard about your brother.
- Yeah, Jay needed a change.
I think it'll be good for him.
- Ah. Well, I know you two are close.
I'll make those calls.
- Adia, talk to me.
- Trey Bruso, 22. BP 138/80.
Heart rate, 104.
Fell off a ladder while painting a house.
- I hate hospitals.
- OK, we won't take that personally,
but we'll still try to get you back up
on that ladder soon, all right?
OK, everyone. Let's get ready for a transfer.
OK, ready?
One, two, three.
- [labored breathing]
- No breath sounds on the right side.
We need an X-ray!
- I want out of here!
- The faster we can get this done,
the faster you can leave, Trey, all right?
Just relax. Relax.
- Stand back.
- 40% pneumothorax to the right chest.
Let's get a chest tube. 28 french.
- Sorry, Ethan.
There's a problem.
- I sent the last Pleur-evac out to the tunnel collapse.
Crockett requested it.
- This is ridiculous. - Relax, Kai.
- Dr. Marcel shouldn't be putting a chest tube
in someone under those conditions anyway.
It's not a sterile environment. - Oh, really?
You think I should have sent him a note explaining that?
- So now our patient needs a chest tube,
and we can't connect it to a drainage system.
How is that supposed to work?
- The Helmand Province. Remember?
- Oh, yeah. I'll hit up central supply.
- Yeah, you want help? - No, I'm good.
It's like riding a bike.
- One of you guys want to tell me what you're talking about?
- Pay attention, Kai. You might learn something.
Mind if I join you?
- Candace, this is Dr. Archer, Chief of the ED.
He's been consulting on your case.
- How you doing, Candace? - My back really hurts.
- Well, hopefully, that won't be the case much longer,
so bear with us.
Was I right about the kidney stones?
- I'm not seeing any stone,
but I am seeing some hydronephrosis
on her left kidney.
- Ah. - What does that mean?
- Your kidney is not draining effectively,
so it's a little swollen.
I'm concerned that it might be infected,
so it's a good thing that Dr. Asher here
has already started you on antibiotics.
- Will it hurt the baby?
- The sooner we get ahead of it, the better.
Give her four of morphine for the pain and call urology.
- Excuse us, Candace.
We don't know for certain that it's a kidney infection.
- If it walks like a kidney infection
and talks like a kidney infection--
- Hydronephrosis is not uncommon in pregnant women.
When a uterus gets enlarged, it can cause urine to back up
and dilate the kidneys.
It doesn't confirm an infection.
- I appreciate your determination
to get a definitive diagnosis,
but you are overthinking this one.
- You know, I just have this feeling
that I'm never gonna pass some test of yours.
- Oh, God. All right.
Look, I'm getting squeezed by a lot of shortages,
including contrast dye.
And if the antibiotics don't work
and if her back pain gets worse,
then you can send her for a CT.
- [sighs]
- I removed the shards, redressed his wounds.
- Did you get his labs back yet?
- Yeah, he's not having an MI.
Though his heart rate was elevated when he came in,
there's no sign of a cardiac event at all.
I mean, he's in good health, but he said he's not sleeping.
- Huh. Shoot me his chart.
- Yeah.
- [chuckles] Well, this is awkward.
- Oh, come on.
We're both doctors, Otis. Stuff happens, right?
- But let's face it, Dan.
I'm supposed to be taking care of you.
- Well, you're gonna have plenty of opportunity
to do that, all right?
What do you think happened? - I don't know.
I just-- I must have passed out.
- Happen before? - No.
- Dr. Hudgins said
that you were having a hard time sleeping.
- Yeah. I haven't been sleeping much recently, no.
- What would you say to the idea
that maybe what you had was a little panic attack?
- Well, let's say that it was a panic attack.
I guess maybe it could have been the result
of a buildup of stressors.
- All right. All right.
I'm wondering what those might be.
I mean, when it happened, I was talking
about the difficulty that I've been having
giving bad news to patients.
Does that sound right?
- I actually don't remember.
Look, I really just want to go home, OK?
- OK. [machinery beeping rapidly]
Except your heart rate is going back up.
- I'm--I'm sure it'll be fine.
- Yeah, yeah. You're all right.
It's not a heart attack, OK? Just breathe.
- OK.
Oh! Oh, the pain, it's back!

We've got to get that halfway into the chamber.
There we go.
- Anything else I can do?
- Yeah, why don't you get us a little bit more light,
if you can?
- You get a collapsed lung to re-expand
by evacuating the excess air in the chest with a chest tube.
- And you hook it to a water seal drainage system
to keep the air from coming back through the tube.
- That's right, but what if you don't have
a commercial drainage system?
You have to make one. Three bottles.
Bottle number one is the collection bottle.
All the fluid and air that exits the chest tube
comes here first.
Now the fluid stays, but the air is still on the move,
so we have to reroute that air through this tube here,
into bottle number two, the water seal.
- And that water keeps the air from heading back
the other way. - Exactly.
Bottle number three is for suction.
We connect this bottle to the regulator in the wall,
and it creates a negative pressure vacuum
that sucks all the air through all three bottles
but only to the level of water in the suction bottle.
- Makes sense, but kind of primitive.
- But it works.
- Two of Versed, 100 fentanyl?
- Yeah.
- Fentanyl is in.

Rose might die because the manufacturer screwed up?
- Look, it infuriates me too.
What can be done for Rose right now?

You heard of it?

It starts with a mild inability to sleep
that progressively worsens
until it robs you of your faculties and kills you.

I know it's an IV, but the bioavailability is the same.
- Where'd you get them?
- It turns out someone did have it.
- No.
- Will.
These are the real deal from a pharmacy.
The prescription was filled two months ago.
Check the label. I've already called and verified it.
- And your friend just happened to have them?
- He said that sometimes
people empty out their medicine cabinets,
and they turn over the contents to him.
That's how he got these. - That's called diversion.
It's a crime.
- Rose will likely die from this infection.
You know that.
- Even if you were to give her these pills,
how are you gonna explain it in her chart?
- I don't know.
I guess we wouldn't put them in?
She needs these pills, Will.
- There's only one way to do this.
No, no. You stay here.
Hey, Nancy. Could you give us a moment?
- Sure.
- Thank you.
Emmanuel, I found some voriconazole.
- Oh, thank God.
- But I can't give it to Rose.
- I don't understand. - Yeah.
The pills weren't acquired through the proper channels.
But I assure you, this is the antifungal Rose needs.
It will knock out her infection.
It will save her life.
I just can't legally give them to her,
but you can.
It's your decision.
Dr. Taylor and I cannot know about this.
We'll check back in a little while.

- You put your blood, sweat, and tears
into a project like this train.
You try to anticipate every potential catastrophe,
only to be undone by rusty old tracks
and cracked tunnel walls.
- So it was the tunnel's fault?
- It's not my train's.
Let me guess, you're one of those
"never explain, never complain" guys, yeah?
- Yeah, well, this day wasn't good for me either.
[machinery beeping]
- What's that? - Oh, the battery on the vent.
It's dying.
- Why are you down here, Crockett?
- What do you mean?
- A train crashes, and a tunnel collapses,
and you run in.
Why?
- I--I just did.
- You want to know why I created this train?
To change the world.
Chicago first, but soon,
every other city would see a faster,
more efficient, cost-effective,
environmentally-friendly mode of transportation.
Jack Dayton has done it again.
A brilliant innovator. A hero.
That's the portrait I try to paint for the media anyway.
The truth is, I developed this train
to make me another fortune.
Money and ego have been the motivation
behind almost every decision I've ever made.
Every good deed.
Every good deed has really been self-serving,
unlike you.
- [scoffs] No.
- What?
- Believe me, Jack, I...
I am far from selfless.
[rumbling]
- Crockett?
Ah, hey.
OK, so what do you guys say?
Want to get out of here?
- [chuckles]
[knocks at door]
- My results.
- Negative.
- [laughing] Oh.
Oh, good God.
Oh, thank God.
- Hopefully, you can get a little sleep now.
- [chuckles]
I can't thank you enough, Dan.
- Hey, I'm just really happy it turned out the way it did.
- But I think
we should stop seeing each other professionally,
I'm afraid.
I'm sorry, but this has been
a massive breach of therapeutic boundaries.
- You know what, I would actually really like
to continue, if it's OK with you.
- You want me to stay on as your therapist after this?
- What, are you kidding me?
I mean, all this experience has done for me today
is humanize you.
We might have hit the fast forward button a little bit,
but, Otis, do you have any idea how difficult it is out there
to find a practitioner who will just, you know,
listen and talk and be present?
All I saw today was the kind of,
I don't know, humanity, right,
that made me really want to keep working with you,
if you're good with it.
- Sure.
- Good.
- Everyone, gather around, please.
Everyone? - Good news.
We've just been informed that Dr. Marcel is safe,
and he and his patients, including Jack Dayton,
are en route.
[cheers and applause]
- All right, everybody. Let's get back to work.
- So how'd it go?
- Uh, good.
- You showed Dr. Choi how to do that thing with the bottles?
- Yeah, I did.
- In Afghanistan, we had a whole lot of GSWs
without a whole lot of equipment,
but we did have bottles.
- Cool.
- Yeah, it's cool.
In any case, he is a good teacher.
Hey, and FYI, Dr. Marcel is a pretty good teacher too.
- Hmm.
- Excuse me.
Nice work today, Dr. Asher.
- Thank you. - Yeah.
Your patient got lucky. She had a good doctor.
- And which one of us is that?
- Well, we both know.
Listen, your weekly drug test, we can dispense with that.
- Great.
- Pressure is stable and has been for some time now,
even without the pressors.
- We'll have to wait for your cultures to come back,
but I'd wager the infection is resolving.
- I feel--what's the word I'm looking for?
- Relieved?
- Sanguine.
Good word. People don't use it enough.
- It certainly seems like she's getting back to normal.
- Well, hopefully, if this all continues,
you can go home tomorrow.
- We can't thank you enough.
- It worked.
- Yeah, look.
We did what we had to do,
but no one can ever know about this.
Ever.
- They're here!
- Nathaniel Perry, 34 years old.
Chest was crushed in a train crash.
- Dr. Marcel intubated him in the field
and placed a chest tube.
- All right, I got him. All right.
- You're going to two.
- Mr. Dayton, sorry to meet you under these circumstances.
Sharon Goodwin, executive director of patient services.
- And I'm Dr. Choi. Let's get you checked out.
- All right, and Crockett said I'm gonna needed an MRI.
- Will do.
- Where is Crockett? - He's OK, right?
- Yeah, he said he had to see someone
and that it couldn't wait.
- Pamela?
Pamela, please.
Pamela, please talk--
- Crockett, are you OK?
- Yeah. Where's your mom?
- She left for Boston this morning.
I'm sending these things on to her.
- I need to tell her something.
- Yeah, she saw you called.
She didn't want to talk to you.
- I get it.
Could you tell her something for me?
Just tell her
I haven't been entirely honest with her.
Honest with myself, really.
- Oh?
- Your mom never would have risked her ability
to perform surgery.
I mean, you said so yourself when she was on the table.
But I made the decision I wanted anyway.
It was selfish.
I didn't want to lose her.
But I guess I lost her anyway.
- I'm sorry.
- You take care, Ava.
- You, too, Crockett.
