[T.C.] Still glad you came out here?

[Jordan] If I wanna get this combat
medical training center off the ground,

I gotta walk the walk, right?

[Romero] Open it! Open the gate,
I'll k*ll him right now.

Open the gate now!

This is your last warning.
I repeat, this is your last warning.

Release the hostage.
You're not going anywhere.

Open the gate! Open it now. I'll k*ll him.

I'll cut him up real good. Open it!

[policeman] This is your final warning.

I repeat, this is your final warning.

[grunts]

[Rene] Ready your w*apon.

Hold your fire.

[tires screech]

[guard] Stop, get out of the car.

[Romero grunts loudly]

-[g*nshots]
-[Romero gasps]

[Romero gasps]

[policeman] Don't move.

-Show me your hands.
-[Romero groans]

Hold up, T.C.
Let 'em secure the car first.

With that crash,
he'll be lucky if he can hold a shiv.

Jeez, he's just
as pig-headed as Mac said, huh?

Yeah, pretty much.

[Romero groaning]

Hey. Come on. Okay. Come here. I got you.

[Romero] Leave me.

[T.C.] Ready?

[Romero groans]

[T.C.] Okay.

All right, sir.
We're trying to help you here, okay?

[groans] Just let me die.

Afraid we can't do that.

All right, GSW graze to the head,

high velocity blunt chest trauma.
Okay, let's get him over to SAM.

You got it, you got it.

Hey, docs,
I got another one for you inside.

One of the good ones.

[people coughing]

[children crying]

What happened?

That son of a bitch stabbed me.
He had a shiv.

Get word to my wife, will ya?

If this makes the news,
she's gonna be worried.

Yeah, don't worry. We'll make the call.

[Max inhales sharply, then groans]

[grunts]

Take him to SAM, we'll take care of him.

Help! You gotta come,
my mom can't breathe.

Okay. Come on, let's go.

-[T.C.] This your mom?
-Yeah.

Okay, fruity breath.

Diabetic ketoacidosis.
Does your mom take insulin?

Why? She's not diabetic.

She is. She just doesn't know it yet.

And what exactly
do you think you're doing?

I'm just saving this woman's life.

This place is a hellhole.
You know that, right?

These people all need help.

Yeah, they'll get it.

Thanks for coming by, Doc.
We've got it from here.

Will you tell them
to take the agent back without me?

I, uh...

I got some work to do here.

-Okay. She's gonna be okay.
-[people coughing]

[sirens blaring]

-[Drew groans]
-[Kenny] Fifty-eight.

[Drew grunts]

Ah! Fifty-nine.

[Kenny] Not good enough, 59...
Come on, let's go.

-[Drew groans]
-[Kenny] Fifty-nine.

No, 59.

How long are you gonna
make him stay on one number?

Long as it takes.

This is what they do in Ranger School.

They try to break you.

But I'm not gonna break.
I'm gonna get that tab.

Whoa! Ted from Accounting's
been using the hospital e-mail

to send naked pics to his girlfriend.

I hope he's a grower,
'cause he ain't a show-er.

Take a look.

Ugh! I don't want to see that. Ugh! Stop.

Sixty, Drew, let's go.

Please put the phone down.

Speaking of naked pics,

I hope Paul doesn't have to see
anything like this of you and Bella.

Get your mind out of the gutter.
We don't do that, we're just friends.

[Shannon] Uh-huh.

-Sure you are.
-[Drew grunts]

Thanks for the work out.

All right, let's go, boys.

[ambulance sirens blaring]

Drew, ICE agent, multiple s*ab wounds
to the flank and abdomen.

Vitals stable.

Dr. Alister.

Let's get you checked out. What happened?

Got between a psychopath
and innocent people.

The psychopath won.

[Drew] Not by the looks of it.
All right, let's go. Trauma Two.

[Romero grunts, then groans]

I'll k*ll you!

This the guy from the rollover?

Yeah, the accident happened

after he got sh*t
in a standoff with the cops.

Look at you, being all Rambo, Doc.

[Romero screams]

-You can't take me back!
-[Kenny] Take it easy, all right.

The whole ride over.

-Take him to One.
-[Romero screaming]

[Kenny] Where's Cain?

I gave him the night off.

He's gonna be working double
while Drew's gone.

-[Kenny] All right.
-[Romero grunts]

I'll k*ll you!

[screaming]

Female, 30s, DKA and a fever.
She's pretty sick.

She needs a central line
and possibly intubation.

-Take her to Exam One.
-Got it.

-Hey, what's your name, little man?
-Angel.

[T.C.] Okay...

Hey, Dispatch said you were
bringing in one woman and her kid.

Yeah, plans changed.

The bus just pulled up.
Where do you want 'em?

-"The bus"? What bus?
-You know what?

You set up triage in
the ambulance bay right over there.

-How many do you have?
-Forty-seven.

And I want my measles booster first.

-Measles? What the--
-Scott, just--

Dr. Callahan, can I talk to you
for a minute, please?

Sure. Hey, Kenny,
can you take care of this gentleman,

set him up in an exam room?

Yeah, will do. Hey.

I know what measles looks like,
and none of these people have measles.

Okay, Scott, look, I need you
to look at all these people, okay?

The woman I just brought in with her son
is suffering from septic shock.

Okay? They've been in that place
for God knows how long,

catching God knows what,

and they're all scheduled
to be deported tonight. Okay?

Who knows which of them are gonna survive.

We can't just let these people suffer.

[sirens blaring in the distance]

You're right.

Really? 'Cause I thought
you were gonna fight me on this.

You don't own
the moral compass for the world, T.C.

The least we can do is
give them some basic care

before they get shipped off.

I just could have used
a heads up. Mollie...

-Set up the bay for holding.
-Yeah.

Hey, and T.C., where do you stand
on Jordan's combat training proposal?

Colonel Parnell's coming by in the morning

to hear our presentation,
and we really need you.

"We"? You wanted me to quit two weeks ago.

Yeah, things change, and hey, hey!

Any news about Annie
from the PI you hired?

No. Look, when Annie
doesn't wanna be found,

she can't be tracked down.

Scott, can you take care of all this
so I can go check on Romero?

Yeah. Go, go. Trauma Four.

[Romero grunting]

-Tony, you gotta hold him.
-I got him.

Don't touch me, bitch.

-Get off me!
-[T.C.] Okay, I got this.

Hey, hey, hey. Go, go.

[Romero grunting]

I can't believe
he survived an accident like that.

-[Jordan] Hmm. There we go. And he's out.
-[T.C.] Okay.

It's always the creeps
that land on their feet.

[Jordan] Yeah, and we need more doctors
who are prepared to deal with them.

-Oh, subtle.
-[Jordan chuckles softly]

I was just talking to Scott.

He's very gung ho about
this whole combat training situation.

Yeah, so was Syd
when I talked to her two days ago.

Yeah. She keeps calling,
like, 50 times a day.

Wants us to run it together.

So does the Army.

[T.C. sighs]

It's the centerpiece of our presentation.

A man and a woman with
combat medical training experience

teaching everything they know
to other Army medics and docs.

But we're not gonna
get the contract without you.

Tee, I don't ask you for much,
but I really want this to happen.

Jordan, I know, but I made a commitment.

-To Amira? Yes, I know.
-No, no, no, to Syria.

Okay, look. How about
I just help launch the program

at the beginning.

No long-term commitment,
just help get people interested.

No long-term commitment, huh?

Well, that doesn't sound like you at all.

[both chuckle]

All right.

Thank you. I'll take it.

Yeah.

-[Romero] Boo!
-[Jordan gasps]

[Romero] Ha! [laughs]

Ha! It's gonna take a lot more dr*gs
to knock me out, sweetheart.

How about you jump in here
and pass the time with me, huh?

Yeah, um, I'd rather not,

and I have patients that need my help,

so when you're ready to be treated,
you let me know.

Oh...

[tense music playing]

[theme music playing]

Headed to Ranger School, huh?

I tried to get my tab
when I enlisted back in the day,

washed out after the first month.

Wasn't tough enough, I guess.

Seem plenty tough to me.

My husband's on SWAT.

I know about the guys
he hands over to you.

Yeah, it's no joke.
We get some of the worst.

Hey, you needed a consult
for a positive FAST?

Yeah. Uh, Max, this is Dr. Cummings.

Looks like the guy did a number on you.

Cops are guarding
Romero, right? He's scum.

That guy is the reason
people call us "bad hombres."

He's been deported a dozen times.

These people
come in our country and ruin it.

"These people"?

Now don't get all PC on me, Doc.
I'm first gen, but I did it right.

I'm a good citizen,
pay my taxes, follow the rules.

That guy, he's the reason
people don't trust guys like me.

Hmm. I'll take your word for it.

Sounds like you have internal bleeding.
Dr. Alister, let's get him to CT.

I think I pissed him off.
Is he the one gonna operate?

Don't worry, he's fine.
He's just a little sensitive.

[beeps]

[woman over pa system]
George Herpes to the ER.

Maybe a little better bedside manner.
He is one of the good guys.

If you say so.

He just got stabbed multiple times

trying to keep a drug dealer
from escaping.

He deports violent criminals,

people who come to this country
to commit crimes.

Oh, you mean like that
middle schooler T.C. brought in

and his diabetic mother?

-They look real violent.
-That sucks, all right?

But this guy doesn't make the rules,

he's just gotta follow 'em.
A law is a law.

Seriously? [scoffs] "A law is a law"?

If that were true, this ER would've
been shut down years ago.

-You know what I mean.
-Do I?

Look, Drew, how much illegal crap
has T.C. pulled

over the last couple of years?

He was given
the option to join the m*llitary

to avoid jail time, for God's sake.

And look what he did with his chance.

Yeah, and that's great,
but he got a chance, okay?

Meanwhile that Angel kid,
and others like him,

who have hurt no one,
got no second chance.

My mom is Nigerian, okay?

And if she'd missed
a single filing deadline or a hearing,

I would've grown up in Lagos.

I grew up literally knowing
that I couldn't screw up,

because there are no second chances
for people who look like me.

You know, and I'm a citizen, and I'm rich.

But now you're bringing race into it.
That's an entirely different conversation.

Look, people can see race,

and they assume things
about folks rocking a year-round tan.

But it's more than that, okay?
It's about what's fair.

You spent years in the closet
longer than you had to

because you were terrified of people
treating you differently, okay?

You understand that fear, that injustice.

You had a closet. These people don't.

[woman over pa system ] Paging
Dr. Alexander to the ambulance bay.

Dr. Alexander to the ambulance bay.

-Hey, what's up?
-[Kenny] Hi.

I've got at least five people
from the detention center

with fever, headache, and neck pain.

Shannon's got a woman in Exam One
with meningococcal meningitis.

Yeah. You thinking what I'm thinking?

Depending how long they were there,

we could have
a meningitis outbreak on our hands.

All right. Jocelyn, Mollie,
initiate the protocol.

Everyone here needs masks.

Coughing, breathing,
even sneezing can spread this stuff.

Everyone, every last person
needs treatment.

Jordan, I'm sorry. I didn't know.

[chuckles] You always are.

-[sirens blaring]
-[T.C. sighs]

[patients coughing]

[Shannon] Thanks for helping out.

Jocelyn, send a stat gram stain
to confirm meningococcal meningitis.

[Scott] Good thing we caught it now.

An early sign
is the purpura fulminans here.

I'll have an iso room
set up for her in the ICU.

In the meantime, you need to
get yourself some cipro, ASAP.

What about her diabetes?

How's that gonna affect her condition?

Well, not to get too technical,
but she has something called DKA,

that's diabetic ketoacidosis.

Treatment of which can
lead to hypoglycemia

and cerebral oedema. Yeah, I know.

Whoa! How'd you know all that?

[chuckles] I'm gonna be a doctor.

[Shannon] Well,
you're gonna be a good one.

The nurse gave me this tablet
to play games on,

but I'd rather do research.

So, is she gonna die?
The website says meningitis is fatal.

Angel, when you become a doctor,

you'll realize
websites don't treat patients, we do.

And we're gonna do everything we can
for your mom, okay?

You didn't answer my question.

You can't let her die.

She's all I've got.

My dad, he's not nice.

You can't let anything happen to her,
promise me.

Okay, I promise.

[Jordan] Okay, we have no idea
how extensive this is.

Anyone with whom meningitis is expected
should get treatment.

Start them on droplet precautions.

Anyone with close contact
gets prophylaxis.

-Even those with vaccinations?
-[Jordan] Yes, absolutely.

They can carry the bacteria
and still spread the infections.

That's a lot of antibiotics.
I'll call some day shifters to help out.

[Jordan] Great, call Cain, too.

Do you want me to take care of Romero?
You've had enough of his crap.

Uh, no, uh, it's already done.
I'm just waiting on the results.

Thanks.

You're telling me they don't have measles?

You know the trouble you caused?

Your guy lied to me
to get them out of there.

Screw your trouble.
These people have meningitis.

It's worse.

These people would have d*ed
if I didn't bring 'em here.

Yeah, in their own countries
where they're not my problem.

Mm-mmm-mmm.

Are you for real right now?

I tell you these people could die
and you're worried about what?

The paperwork? These people need help.

Yeah, a lot of people do.
Folks who are already citizens.

It's not the US's job to help everyone,

and unless you're willing to let

an immigrant family
shack up in your spare room...

I am an immigrant.

My family didn't come here
on the Mayflower, all right?

They moved here from Ireland
when I was ten.

Aww! That's a nice story.

How many of these people are you willing
to take home with you tonight?

I want 'em on the bus, now.

[chuckles] Yeah, uh,
just for your information,

um, if you put them back on that bus,

you're not only endangering
their life, but yours as well.

I wanna be examined first.

Like hell you do.

They can't get theirs, but you need yours?
That how it works?

Look, we're gonna get you
your antibiotics.

Just let us do our jobs.

Fine.

I'm taking everyone who's healthy
back to detention, immediately.

I can't imagine if we didn't catch this,
how many people would have d*ed.

If they weren't set to be deported,

they'd have a hell of a lawsuit
on their hands.

[phone rings]

-I gotta take this.
-[Jordan] Go ahead.

-Jordan...
-Yeah?

[Mollie] It's Dr. Diaz.

-Hello? Hey.
-Jordan.

[T.C. clears throat] Hey.

Hey, finally made it back to your place.

It's, uh, nicer than I expected.

Oh! Low expectations, huh?

[chuckles]

[Amira] Are you okay?

No, it's been, uh, one of those nights.

Look, I know
that I gave you the night off,

but we need you here. We're slammed.

Listen, I can't. I'm going back home.
I'm going back to Mexico.

Um... I'm sorry, what? For how long?

I don't know. For a bit, maybe for good.
There's an emergency.

Can we talk about this?

Jordan, I'm sorry.

I quit.

Hello?

[suspenseful music playing]

[patients coughing]

All right, and what medications
are you on, ma'am?

I can't always remember them all. Uh...

[Mollie] Oh!

It's easier if I just show you.

Oh!

[bag rustles]

All right.

Well, no rash, no fever...

Are you sure about that?

Yep. Touch your chin to your chest for me.

[groans] I can't. My neck's too stiff.

Yeah. You are a very smart kid,
but a very crappy liar.

Your meningitis vaccine
worked just the way it should.

You're gonna be fine.

Then you gotta
diagnose me with something.

You know they'll take me away
if you don't.

I saw them deport a kid's parents
who was born here, but they weren't.

He was six. Come on, you got...

Hey, slow it down, short stack.

You think I don't know that?

I'm telling you you're healthy
so you don't freak.

I'm telling them that
you're deathly ill, highly contagious,

and can't leave this hospital
under any circumstances.

So, be sure to look real pitiful
if anyone pokes their head in, okay?

[coughing]

A doctor, huh? You should be an actor.

Who were you examining in there?

Someone with a right to privacy.

Not if it's one of my detainees.

Yeah, that's not even remotely
how HIPAA works.

Look, if someone's sick, they're sick.

I'm not gonna put a dying person
on a plane, if I can help it.

But otherwise, I have a job to do.
The healthy ones are going.

[Scott] Is there a problem here?

Yeah. This nurse...

Doctor, douche face.

Is impeding my ability
to get my detainees out of here.

We will release patients when
we feel they're ready to be released,

and not a moment sooner.

If you've got a problem with that,

feel free to go
get yourself a medical degree.

We'll wait.

[ICE agent] Funny.

While reviewing your CT,
we noticed a renal laceration.

Also you failed to mention that
you have only one kidney.

When was it removed?

When I was about 12,
I had a tumor taken out.

Small town doc,
didn't know what he was doing.

Infection I got was worse than the tumor.

Kidney was so messed up,
they had to take it out.

And this happened while
you were still living in Mexico?

Yeah. My mom and dad
talked about sneaking over,

bringing me up for treatment,

but my mom thought if we got caught,

that would hurt
our chances of coming over for good.

She kept thinking
we'd be approved any day.

And when did you
finally come over legally?

[chuckles softly] It was years.

Look, I know you got pissed

when I said that thing
about "these people" earlier.

You and I both know what I mean.

You're telling me
you don't get looked at different

than the other docs around here?

If I, uh...

If I don't wear my surgical scrubs,
half my patients think I'm a janitor.

I mean, it's like that
Louis CK skit, you know,

people find out I'm a doctor,
and they're like, "Good for you."

[chuckles] Yeah, I get handed car keys
if I stand too close to the valet.

[Max laughs, then sighs]

Folks in my family think I'm a traitor.

Working with people
who would ask for my papers

if they met me out of uniform.

Then how can you work for them?

Because it's not about
sending families away,

it's about putting away bad guys.

At least it used to be.

Used to be about tracking felons
and human traffickers,

people that made the world worse,
let alone the country.

But now, I don't know.

I can't quit.

Can't you just become a cop or something?

At my age, that ship has sailed.

My eldest twins
are a year away from college,

and I don't want 'em to
struggle the way I had to.

One day you'll learn
that sometimes being a parent

is about eating a big bucket of crap
so your kids don't have to.

I bet your daddy did the same.

I appreciate you calming down
long enough so we can treat you.

Well, now that my deal is set,
I got nothing to worry about.

Besides, I was just messing with you,
flirting with the pretty lady.

That's an interesting way of doing it.

Hey, maybe when I get
into the witness protection,

you can come visit me.

They're gonna set me up real nice.

I got enough on the cartel
to avoid prison and start over.

I'm not sure how it works,

but I do think it's a good idea
to make things right.

[scoffs] There's no making it right.
There's only surviving.

The cartel wants to
set an example with me.

I've seen a man's
face peeled off. [snickers]

That was one of my old tricks.

They'll do it to me now.

I ain't going out like that.

That's fascinating,

but in the meantime
we're gonna get you upstairs to CT

so that we can get
a better look at your injuries.

And then the feds will be here
in about an hour,

so you can tell them your story.

Oh, I got some great ones.

I used to boil people alive.

Once, I made a guy's wife watch.

But carving a man's heart out
with his own set of steak knives

was definitely my best.

Hey, she's a tough one.
She likes my stories.

Yeah, I'm sure she does.

So I'm gonna come with you to CT.

Good, so I can tell you all about Cain.

He quit.

-What?
-He quit.

I heard this guy k*lled over 300 people.

How do you even track that?

Does he have, like,
a m*rder podcast or something?

Yeah, 'cause that's not creepy.

I'm just saying, guy's got stories.

[T.C.] You don't seem
like the kind of girl

who'd be interested
in those kind of stories.

I have many layers.

[Tony] All right, man, I gotta cuff you.

Come on.

-[metallic slash]
-[Tony screaming]

[g*nshots]

Security, get your asses down here now.

[Jordan] Althea, get down!

[over pa system] Begin evacuation
of all patients on the fourth floor.

[Rene] How many sh*ts did he fire?

[over pa system] This is not a drill.

-Nine.
-So he's still got some left.

All right, I just got off the phone
with security

and they're going to
send you maps of the vents.

We're also putting extra
officers and guards on every floor.

Okay. Move out.
Coordinate with the nurses.

I want every inch
of this hospital covered.

[over pa system] All patients
on the fourth floor will be evacuated.

Should have suspected he was
up to something when he calmed down.

You know, I should have
helped the guys tie him down.

Tony patted him down
and said he was clean,

and SWAT wanted him alert
so he could talk to the feds.

We had five cops outside of that room.
Security is not our job.

[sighs] All right, whose wife
do you wanna call? Tony or Bill's?

Hey, Jordan, I gotta check in on Angel,
and I've got my hands full with his mom.

But I need constant updates
on the Romero situation.

-Okay?
-[Jordan] You got it.

What happened here? I heard
he went up the CT like a racer snake.

Well, he's a trained k*ller.
He's got tricks we can't even imagine.

Okay, where are we on the outbreak?

Uh, looks like Angel's mom
is the index case.

Close contacts got prophylaxis.

Ten got admitted. The rest are good to go.

Never thought a clean bill of health
would be bad news. [sighs]

Drew, we should go join SWAT.

If things get ugly,
they're gonna need our help.

-[Drew] Okay.
-[T.C.] All right. All right.

All right, everyone,
this is just a precaution.

I assure you, despite whatever
rumors you may have heard,

that the vents do not connect
from floor to floor.

This man is trapped on the fourth floor.

Yeah, all 10,000 feet of it.

I am not in the mood.

All right, I'm going back upstairs
to check on SWAT.

You've got the floor. All right,
everyone, get back to work.

All right, let's go, folks.

[phone ringing]

ER.

Is, uh, Cain Diaz there?

No, Cain Diaz is not working tonight.
Can I take a message?

Hello?


[snorts]

Hey, Angel, I got some good news.
Your mom is...

Hey, hey, I need some help in here! Now!

Hey, Angel? Angel?

Hey, he needs Narcan.

What happened? He tried to k*ll himself?

I don't think so.

I think he was just trying to get
sick enough to stay with his mom.

Well, how long's it been?
Who was with him last?

I was with him ten minutes ago.
He was fine, he was resting.

Well, there's still time
for gastric decontamination.

Um... You know what? He needs glucagon.

[Kenny] I'm on it.

All right, Angel? This is gonna be
a bit uncomfortable, okay?

[Angel gags]

[muffled coughing]

Tell me when you're set.

[Shannon] He's set.

[Angel gags]

[labored breathing]

[Angel gags]

[Angel gagging]

He must have taken half the bag.

-[Scott] Flushing again.
-[Shannon] Okay.

Hey, you're doing great.

So, it's a simple procedure, in and out,
and you will be good as new.

This whatchamacallit,
I'm not gonna lose anymore organs?

It's a renal artery branch embolization.
80% success rate. And you will do great.

Doc, there was this kid and his mom,

I heard the nurses saying
they brought 'em in.

The kid OD'd? Smart kid, sweet.

Is he okay?

I don't know.
They're both having a rough go of it.

It's my fault. All of it.

What do you mean?

I brought them in. I arrested them.

I'm the one who picked them up
at the courthouse.

What did they do?

Nothing.

She was testifying against
an abusive husband, I knew it.

I ambushed and brought her in.

Why would you do that?

Because I am a weak man.

My supervisor, he threatened me.

He said if I didn't keep my numbers up,
he'd find someone who could.

So what are you gonna do about it?

There's nothing I can do.

The deal is done. They are going back.

[Scott] Hey, there.

You had us pretty scared.

Yeah, you can't do that, Angel.
You could have k*lled yourself.

I know.

I just wanted to get sick enough
so I could stay with my mom.

Yeah, we know.

You don't have to be sick
to stay with her.

I heard the ICE agent say
that he'd make me go back.

Hey, don't worry about him.

We got your back, okay?

You just gotta trust us.

Last person I trusted was a lawyer

who said that he was gonna help me
with my immigration case.

He didn't even bother to show up.

Well, we're not him.

-We're not gonna let you down.
-[Scott] Mm-mmm.

I made a promise, and I keep my promises.

I know.

I'm sorry.

Don't be sorry.

Just get better, okay?

Okay.

[alarms beeping]

[over pa system]
All non-essential personnel

are being evacuated from the fourth floor.

We've covered half the fourth floor
and have drones in the vents.

-We'll find him.
-[Drew] sh**t to k*ll?

No. Feds still want him alive.

He may have intel on an
undercover agent that's gone missing.

[suspenseful music playing]

Captain.

Well, it looks like we found him.

-[indistinct background chatter]
-[drone beeps]

[whirring]

[SWAT member] All drones are active.

Okay. We've got maintenance drop-downs
in these two corridors, east and south.

I want you two on these access points
and every other one.

He's on the move.

What about rolling a couple of
canisters of CS into these vents?

No, you can't do that.
You'll gas the ICU and neonatal.

Can we close the vents off in sections?

Uh... Maybe. But we don't have time
to get a HVAC guy down here

to figure that out.

What about a flash bang?

Mm-mmm. Too many corners.

No guarantee it'll blind him.

And with all this fiber-board,
we risk starting a fire.

There. Got eyes on him.

Bastard's not stupid.

Okay. Let's go get him.

-No way. I'm going.
-No, no, you can't.

Why the hell not, Callahan?

You're a SWAT doc, not SWAT. I am.

And I'm your CO.

[breathes sharply] We move out in five.

[SWAT member] Move out.

[machine beeps]

Hey, looks like you guys found
the one safe spot in the hospital.

[Shannon] That and his mom's in the ICU.

We're waiting for Scott
to give us the okay to go in.

Aren't you guys a little lost?
OR's on a different floor.

That's the guy who arrested us.

Nope, not lost at all.

You did this on purpose.

Yep, I did.

[Scott sighs]

Hey.

How's my mom?

Well, she's still in critical condition,

but I think we've got her meds right now,

and she should be okay.
You can go in and see her now.

-Come on, let's go.
-[Angel] Okay.

Hey, Mom! Mom...

Hey, thought you'd be with SWAT.

[T.C.] Yeah, I had patients.

ODs and heart att*cks don't care

if you're chasing a psychopath
up in the vents.

-Have they found him?
-[T.C.] Yeah.

Rene is headed up there in a couple.
I wanna be there in case she finds him.

Or he finds her.

Okay, hey, listen.

I know this isn't the best time,
but I wanted to give you a heads up.

I just talked to Syd,

and she's pulling out of
running the combat center.

Her husband threatened to
sue her for full custody of the kids,

saying her predilection for danger
made her an unfit parent.

-[T.C.] What a bastard.
-Yeah. You said it.

Anyway, I'm canceling
the meeting with the colonel.

There's no way we can replace Syd
at the last second like this, so...

Yeah, well, maybe there is.

Just don't cancel the meeting.
I'll explain later, okay?

All right.

[police sirens blaring]

Is there a problem, Officer?

Problem is you're doing 90 miles an hour.

Oh... Yeah, you know, I'm a doctor at...

Don't move. Don't move.

[chuckles]

Hey, Cain.

Been a long time.

You just made me a lot of money, man.

Drive.

[sirens blaring]

[Rene grunts]

[Rene screams]

Rene! Rene?

-[T.C.] I'm going up there.
-Boss said--

I don't care what she said, okay?

She's injured,
she needs medical attention.

-I gotta go up there. Drew...
-Be ready to take her to Trauma.

[T.C.] Yes.

[Jordan] Tee! Tee...

What is he doing?

Being T.C.

-[Rene screams]
-[T.C.] Rene!

[Rene groaning]

[Rene] [labored breathing]

[Rene grunts]

-[T.C.] Hey.
-[Rene grunts]

I'm sh*t. I know I clipped him, though.

-I'm sure you did.
-[transmitter beeps]

Okay, I found her,
but she needs treatment.

-You got our location?
-[transmitter beeps]

Okay. Sorry,
this is gonna hurt like a bitch.

[Rene grunts]

[T.C. grunts]

[Renee grunts loudly]

Hey, over here!

I got Rene!

Tee!

[Renee grunts]

-[Drew] Got her.
-[Rene groans loudly]

[Rene exhales sharply]

I got you, I got you.

-[Drew] Let's get her down here.
-[Jordan] Easy, easy.

[grunts]

-[Drew] GSW, left shoulder.
-[g*nsh*t]

T.C., you get down from there.

-No. That's his last sh*t.
-Tee!

Don't worry. I've got my Kn*fe.

[Drew] We gotta page Scott
and gotta get her to the OR.

[Jordan] Where are they?

Find him.

They're over the physical
therapy room. Go! Go! Go!

[Romero grunts]

[Romero gasps]

[T.C. gasps]

[whirring]

[grunting]

[Romero screams]

[both gasp]

[grunting]

-We got visual.
-Get him out of there!

[both grunting and groaning]

Let's get a gurney.

[T.C. screams]

Get off of him.
Hey, you okay? It's all right.

Where's that gurney?

How's your spine? You okay?

Operation was a success.
You're gonna be fine.

Any news on that boy and his mom?

There just might be.

Why did you bring me here?

Craziest thing.

Apparently some anonymous ICE agent

called the judge
and said there were irregularities

with the way you were brought in.

You and your mom get to stay.

Seriously?

Seriously.

Thought you might
wanna experience that live.

Thank you, sir.

[Angel] Thank you.

You're welcome.

Thanks, Doc.

Of course.

Rene sh*t,
all those people deported anyway.

Romero's singing like a canary,

trying to strike a deal with the feds.

What do we gotta do to get a win?

Well, that mother and son,
they're staying,

so that's something.

And the rest of those people,

they're better off
than when you found them.

Rene, she's in recovery,
and she's doing fine.

Yeah, you're right. But...

[exclaims]

Could you not have grabbed the Lidocaine?

Idiots who chase
after dangerous criminals,

they don't get Lidocaine.

Yeah, well, I had to.

I know.

It's what makes me love you and hate you.

You know what I mean.

Hope I'm not interrupting.
They said you'd be in here.

Amira. Hey.

It looks like you had a much more
eventful night than I had.

Well, yeah.

Hi.

You must be Jordan.

Yeah. Amira, it's, uh, nice to meet you.

Um... I didn't know
you were coming, uh, here.

Or to the States. Um...

[Jordan] T.C. doesn't tell us very much.

Wait, he didn't tell you
I'm joining the combat training team?

So, Syd canceled,
and she needed a fill-in.

I was in the vents.

I don't know how you put up with him.

[Jordan chuckles] Hmm.

Okay, why don't you two yell at me
after the presentation with the colonel?

I was in the vents.

You said.

Hey, uh, do you wanna grab breakfast?

-Yeah, just let me go get changed.
-[Paul] Yeah.

Sure. Sounds good.

Hey, can I talk to you for a sec?

Sure, what's up?

Yeah, it'll only take a minute.

[Kenny clears throat]

There's no easy way to say this,
so I'm just gonna, like...

If you are trying to break up
with my sister through me, no.

-[Kenny] No, no, no.
-[Paul] No.

It's not that. [chuckles]
It's quite the opposite.

Hey, look, Bella's a grown woman.

She doesn't need
anyone's permission to do anything. Uh...

But she's your sister
and you're my best friend,

and it would k*ll me

if I did anything
to mess up that relationship.

Uh... Or our relationship. Uh...

You're freaking me out, man.
What are you getting at?

Okay, okay. Um...

So if I asked Bella to marry me,
would you give me your blessing?

Wait, what?

Oh! I'm sorry, obviously
you're messing with me.

Terrible joke, Kenny. That is my sister.

No.

No. No? It's been a month.

I know.

But when you know, you know.

Okay, hold on.

Look, man, I've seen you
get like this before, okay?

And I don't wanna hurt your feelings,
but sometimes you get into women,

like, a little bit faster
than maybe they're ready for, right?

And I don't wanna see you get hurt...

No, no, but look.
It's different this time.

We both feel the same way.

Hmm.

So, do I have your blessing?

Yes. Yes. Yeah, of course. Of course.

But know this, if she says no,
I warned you...

I already asked her. She said yes!

[Kenny laughing]

[Paul stutters]

-You already had that loaded. It's done.
-[Kenny laughing]

It took me all day to pick out the filter.

-Congrats, Kenny!
-[Kenny] Thank you so much!

[Mollie] Get over here, man!
Oh... Congratulations!

[cheering]

We have the staff, the skill,

and the flat-out grit
to make this program a success.

In conclusion, Colonel Parnell,

San Antonio Memorialis the perfect place

for your medics and doctors
to get their combat training.

It's excellent work.

Callahan, your reputation precedes you,

both good and bad.

But the intel is that
there is nobody better under fire

when somebody's life is on the line.

Dr Anawi, you're no Major Jennings.

Well, hold on.
Syd is certainly difficult to replace,

but Dr. Anawi runs a unit
of the White Helmets in Syria.

We know who Dr. Anawi is.

She's been working with the CIA
since med school.

And she's got more
actual rescue and combat experience

than Major Jennings.

She'll fit in.

So do we have a deal?

We have a deal.

Excellent. It's settled, then.

In 90 days, we'll be up and running.

Ninety days? No.

You'll be up and running
start of next week.

Next week?

We deploy to a combat zone in 90 days.

If my men and women
aren't gonna be ready,

I need to know long before then.

Starting Monday,
you have three days to convince me

that you can turn them into the best
combat medics that I've ever seen,

or I'm gonna go to Tampa Prez
and see if they can.

So, in or out?

In.

You'll have your recruits later today.

Good luck, doctors.

[Scott exhales]

Well, that was...

Unexpected.

You mean, the three days
or Amira being in the CIA?

I guess it's time for all of us
to get to know each other a little better.

Right, team?
