- And...
- Pepper. I'm way ahead of you.

You're using the wrong Kn*fe.

And you know this how? Your
days as a Ginsu sales rep?

I know this because everybody

to cut tomatoes.

Handle first.

- Good morning.

How old is that bathrobe?

Dr. Rorish was looking for you.

What? I'm only, like, five minutes late.

- [TELEPHONE CONTINUES RINGING]
- I was looking at apartments.

Ah.

I know. I wasn't ready
to move in with you,

and now I'm getting evicted by my friend

because her boyfriend's
moving in with her.

I read a terrible thing
on the Facebook last night.

I'm not on "the Facebook""

About Brooks. You remember him?

- He's dead.
- He's dead?

No details except about the funeral

in some city called Chino.

- When's the funeral?
- Today.

- Oh, well, we have to go.
- I'm not.

- Dad, he was in Robert's unit.
- We weren't invited.

- Thank you for the breakfast.
- We are both m*llitary.

- We will go and show our respects.
- I don't wanna get into this.

- His family came to Robert's funeral.
- How would you even get us there?

- We're going.
- We don't have a car.

I do.

I can drive.

So you are going to this dance?

Are you sure he's up to it?

Last week was a tough week for him.

Mom, Max has bronchospasms.

He's been dealing with it for years.

Okay. How'd you get him
to change his mind?

I told him someone else asked me.

Doesn't matter how old you are,
women got the same tricks.

- [SIRENS WAILING IN DISTANCE]
- Dr. Kean. Incoming, please. Let's go.

- What do you got?
- -year-old male cycling accident.

Multiple injuries, vitals stable.

Okay, what do you got here?

-year-old female,
same cycling accident.

Obvious ankle deformities, stable vitals.

Hi, I'm Dr. Rorish.

- This is Dr. Kean over here.
- [WOMAN GRUNTS]

- Can you tell us what happened?
- I-I got dizzy...

- Okay.
- And I lost control of my bike

and swerved into my husband, Ed,
and we both went down.

- Ed, can you hear me?
- Dr. Rorish, he's altered.

Okay, center stage, please.

- "Altered"? What does that mean?
- Hey, hey, listen, calm down, okay?

- We're gonna take care of you guys.
- I'm such an idiot.

"Let's bike uphill in Griffith Park.

It'll be great exercise."
- Probably was.

OWEN: Do something, do something!

- Leanne? Leanne!

- [MAX CRIES]
- OWEN: Do something.

Leanne! Looks like he has
a history of pulmonary...

- Pulmonary adenocarcinoma in situ.

What happened, Owen?

We were watching TV, and
he couldn't breathe.

O sat at with a nonrebreather.

- The oxygen. It wasn't working.

- Okay.

- Don't... no, no.

- No, no, don't, don't.
- You don't need to do that.

I need to examine you thoroughly.

No one wants to see
what's under there. Trust me.

- Kathy, we're doctors.

- [GASPS]
- Dr. Campbell?

- Is he gonna be okay?
- CAMPBELL: What do we got?

- KATHY: He can't breathe.
- Severely dilated RV

with wall hypokinesis.

- Massive pulmonary embolism.
- Fits the presentation.

Sudden onset shortness of breath,

tachycardia, hypoxia, and active cancer.

He's had clots in his legs
before, but never in his lungs.

He needs TPA. How long has he
been on the transplant list?

- Over a year.
- Is he still on anticoagulation?

We just stopped three months ago.

The blood clot is causing
massive strain to his heart

and to his lungs. We need to
administer a clot buster...

I know what TPA is. Do whatever it takes.

Okay, all right. Let's go. Just
relax, Max. We got you. Going in.

CAMPBELL: All right, Max.

Give it a few more minutes for
the medicine to work, okay?

- Intubation kit just in case.
- There you go.

- Obvious knee deformity.
- What do I got here?

Trace pericardial effusion
and otherwise negative FAST.

Hey, we gotta get him upstairs
for a CT right now.

- What's going on? My leg hurts.
- Ed?

- Aah!
- I'm so sorry. I...

You dislocated your knee, Ed.

We can give you pain meds
and wait for them to kick in,

or I can just snap it back in
place and the pain will go away.

Great. Just do it.

- Okay. One, two...

Good job, Max. Good job.

- Let's get your son to sides.
- CAMPBELL: Good job, Max.

Is he gonna be okay?

Your son is in critical
condition, but he's stable.

We have to see if the TPA
mitigates the blood clot.

- There you go.
- Good news is, if he survives this,

he'll be bumped to the top
of the transplant list.

He's not anymore. [SIGHS]

I mean, he married a size .
Now look at me.

And what's the standard of care
for suspicion

of significant head trauma
in an emergent setting?

Vital signs, a physical exam,
and a CT scan.

But for Detective Gomez,

no such scan was ordered
until it was too late, right?

The patient declined treatment.

Detective Gomez wasn't of sound mind.

Well, by my estimation, he was.

- By your estimation.
- Yes.

Have you ever made a mistake, Dr. Dixon,

in a professional setting?

A mistake?

Yeah, of course
I've made a mistake. I'm human.

- Haven't you?
- I'm not being deposed, Dr. Dixon. You are.

Tell us about all

Tanya, there's been a development.

Someone else is getting my lungs.
