so here you are.

I remember how you craved

You know, I'm not so addicted

Okay.

I'll find you a wheelchair,

All right... mm, okay.

- Watch your step.
- Thank you.

I woke up this morning,

and something just felt off.

It was like everything
just got super swollen.

Mm-hmm.

How many weeks are you?

Almost .

Okay, your belly is a bit distended,

so let's take a look.

Uh, it's a boy.

- Oh, that's great.
- That's great.

Can we contact your OB for you?

I don't... I don't actually
have one right now.

I'm... I'm sorry, I'm kind of in a bit

of a transition with things right now.

That's okay.

All right, Ingrid,
so I'm seeing some extra

amniotic fluid and your baby's
abdomen looks a little swollen.

That... that doesn't sound good.

What's causing this?

Well, sometimes it could be caused

by an infection,
sometimes the baby has anemia.

Is the baby going to be okay?

I'd like to do some further testing,

but it's not necessarily serious.

Yeah, the good thing is,

you're already far enough
to deliver a healthy boy,

even if we have to induce
labor, all right?

Thank you.

Hey, Doris, got your page.
What do we got?

-year-old male in Treatment .

Name's Luis Peña, passed out
in front of the mayor's house.

- The mayor's house?
- Mm-hmm, during a protest.

- He's in bad shape, you'll see.
- Okay.

Are you the doctor
in charge of Luis Pena?

I am, and you are?

Mindy Zheng, I'm a journalist.

Perhaps you've read my
Substack about the protest.

I haven't, excuse me.
Hey, Mr. Peña, so...

Luis is on day of a hunger strike,

and he doesn't want
his progress thwarted

in any way whatsoever.

Got it?

Look, Luis, your labs are concerning.

Your liver enzymes are up,

- Nutrition?
- Yeah, through a feeding tube.

- So food.
- Yeah.

Five weeks, Luis, that's, um...

that's real commitment.

I made a promise to myself.

Tell me about that,
a promise about what?

You know Greyland Recycling?

Yeah, I'm familiar with it.

They have a huge contract with the city.

Greyland handles most of Chicago's

indus... industrial... Mindy.

Greyland recently closed
a metal shredding facility

in a white affluent neighborhood,

and the mayor just approved
the final permit

to relocate that facility
to South Chicago,

into a lower income neighborhood.

Where I grew up.

Somehow guessing that metal shredding,

not the best thing for the environment.

Definitely not...
Of course, Greyland claims

that pollution controls
will help keep residents safe.

If that was true, why did
the rich people want it gone?

It's environmental racism.

Look, your cause, your devotion to it,

I find genuinely admirable,
but have you asked yourself

how effective you can be
from a hospital bed?

That's why Mindy's here,
so people know how I'm doing.

Oh, hey, you can't smoke in here, bud.

Of course, yeah, it just
helps with the hunger pangs.

Yeah, I understand.

So what is our end game
strategy here, Luis?

I won't eat until
Greyland calls off their move.

He knows what he wants,

PUBS is short for Percutaneous Umbilical

Blood Sampling.

It'll tell us a lot more

- Okay.

Okay, now, this first needle is

going to temporarily paralyze your baby.

Don't worry,
it's not as scary as it sounds.

Just to keep him from
moving around too much.

He does like to kick... okay.

Okay, little pinch.

Great, that wasn't too painful.

All right, now, with this second needle,

we're going to draw blood
right from where

your umbilical cord
connects with your baby.

Like an amniocentesis?

Did you have one done before?

No, but around the end
of my first trimester,

I did this blood test,
a panel, and it said

that there was a chance
that the baby might

be born with spinal muscular atrophy.

SMA, that's a serious condition.

I'm surprised you didn't
mention this earlier.

I guess I was trying
not to think about it too much.

Could that be the cause of the swelling?

Perhaps, but it's hard to tell.

Let's see what the lab has
to say about the blood test.

Okay.

You're gonna have one more pinch.

So you fell on the slippery floor?

Well, we didn't see that happen.

- You don't believe me?

Zoe's had a history of alcohol issues.

We can smell it on you, Zoe.

Yes, for many years, but we haven't had

Was?

You remember that
genetic panel I told you about?

The one that said the baby had SMA?

When the couple found out,

they decided to terminate the pregnancy.

But you didn't.

I just... I just couldn't.

Were the parents made aware of that?

What does that matter?

They... they didn't
want the baby anyway.

Okay, you know what, this is
something that we can discuss later.

What's important now
is the health of the baby.

So we're gonna start by transfusing him

with some blood, see if that
helps cure the anemia.

Okay, thank you.

Dr. Asher?

So we have to confirm this
with the biological parents.

I'm not sure that
that's our responsibility,

especially if the parents
gave up the baby.

Well, we don't know if that's true.

Look how long it took her
to tell us about

- the genetic defects.
- Why would she be lying?

Bottom line, she can't
ghost the parents like that.

They have every right
to know what's going on.

We have to notify legal
so they can contact them.

You're right, okay.

What I'm seeing here
worries me... worries us.

You are risking your life now.

I'm doing what needs to be done.

But haven't you made your point?

Last I checked, nothing's changed.

They're still relocating

Mindy, I'd like to have
a moment alone with Luis.

No, he wants me here.

Okay, I have to tell you,

Okay.

I mean, what if this is
just another su1c1de attempt?

We should have him on a psych hold.

But even if you're right,
you know, a psych hold's not

gonna solve the problem
of getting him to eat.

We can't force feed him,
he has capacity.

I am terrified that he's
going to take his own life.

I get that, but unfortunately,

the legal grounds to stop him.

they just got in from Indiana.

Ingrid was our surrogate.

I can't believe this is happening.

- I'm sorry.
- How is she?

We heard the baby's
having some swelling?

That's because of the Type SMA.

Actually, we're not sure
those things are related.

How could they not be?

Weak muscles, inability
to swallow, collapsed lungs.

Median survival rate
of less than a year.

That's what this baby
has to look forward to.

We didn't want this, for him to suffer.

When we made the decision to terminate,

Ingrid and I sat together and cried.

- I understand.
- What do we do now?

Well, from this hospital's
perspective, Mr. Harris,

right now, our top priority
is the health of the mother

- and the baby.
- Ingrid is not the mother.

My wife is the mother.

and what she's doing is wrong.

I don't understand.

Why... why she did this?

I will never forgive myself.

No, Meg, don't.

And you were so strong.

You're so brave.

That... it wasn't like that.

I wasn't brave, I wasn't strong.

I... I knew.

You knew?

I had this friend,

they said the same thing to her,

but her baby was okay.

Why didn't you tell us?

Because I... Because, I wanted him.

Oh, Ingrid...

I'm sorry... I... I am so sorry.

No... no...

Okay, put him down.

Can he survive this?

How in the world did this happen?

I know he had a lighter
and some cigarettes

when he came in this week.

Oh, look, there, that was full,

But how did he get to it?
He was in restraints.

He said his wrists hurt.

You loosened his restraints?

Well, he was in so much pain.

Yeah, pretty late in the game.

It's never too late

Why'd you change your mind?

You did a nice thing for me,
saving this.

I was rude to dismiss it,

Not necessary.

Come on, Will, you can be honest.

There must've been a bit

Well, okay, yeah.

I didn't hear from you

I didn't find out how sick
he was till it was too late.

Patrick was always

That's why I came in today...
I wanted to meet his son.

So you two were close?

Yes.
