[closing voice-over] We’ve all hit that point of exhaustion. The point where nothing makes sense anymore. Your body hurts, your brain becomes foggy, and you feel like you’re trapped in a tunnel. When all you want is your bed. So, how do you keep going? How do you not just sit down and give up? Sometimes it’s easy. Sometimes you play games in your head. You make up someone. Someone good. Whatever you need. To keep you going.
S13 E8The Room Where It Happens
S13 E9You Haven't Done Nothin
[opening voice-over] Surgeons fight. We fight against death. It's our thing. But eventually, if history's any indicator, death is gonna win. We may win the battle, but we're never gonna win the war. So, the trick is to go down fighting. To fight for the right cause. For the right person. And if you go down, you all go down together.
I just wanted to say I'm sorry.
Alex, you've said that. I know.
I mean for the things I said. You're not trash. Don't ever let anyone say that. I'm sorry, and I.... you're not trash, Jo.
I made a decision about what is best for the hospital moving forward, and I didn't want my personal feelings, my very strong personal feelings to get in the way of that decision. If I do that, I won't be able to do this job.
Bailey, we reach into people's bodies and hold their lives and their futures in our hands. There's nothing more personal than this job, in how we treat a patient, in how we raise our doctors and teach them how to do this work. Every decision that you make should be a personal one. If it isn't, then you have no business being chief.
You'll be okay.
Me? This is about you. You think this is noble, what you're doing? It isn't. It's giving up. And it's buying into everything you've ever said about yourself, and I won't let you do it.
You'll be fine.
You are not going to jail.
You'll be just be fine.
Stop making this about me. Stop using me as an excuse to make yourself feel better. Of course I will be be fine. I'm always fine. Don't you know that? This is about you. You will be destroyed. Your life, your career, everything... will be finished. Who you are will be gone.
[closing voice-over]
Alex, listen to me. You're better than this. You're stronger.
Don't make this all your fault. I know you. That's what you do. But, please. Please don't do that.
We can't just give up, not after all this time. We have to stand together. We have to fight.
Because it's just us now. There were five of us, and now it's just you and I. And it can't be just me. It can't be. I will go down swinging for you, Alex. You know I will. But that means you can't give up. You don't throw the fight. So, whatever you're doing this for... please don't.
S13 E10You Can Look (But You'd Better Not Touch)
[opening voice-over] Back in the day, physicians made house calls. So, if you chopped off your finger, or woke up with a touch of cholera, you could order up a doctor, like delivery pizza. A respected member of the community at your service. The ultimate personal touch.
What, you think someone's gonna swipe that thing?
Hey, someone could. Then all of a sudden, she's walking around outside.
They're locked in cells.
And I'd be trapped on the inside. No one knows me, no one trusts me. My record says that I'm in for theft or worse. So who's gonna listen to me when I'm yelling that there's been some horrible mix-up? Nobody. Nobody listens. I never get my hair done. My teeth go bad. I die in here.
That can't happen, right?
Just don't lose your badge.
[closing voice-over] There's a reason doctors prefer to see a patient in person, face to face. It's the laying on of hands. Human touch. That spark of connection. We lay hands on each other so we feel like we're all in this together. We connect with each other. Because if we didn't, we would all feel so, so alone.
S13 E11Jukebox Hero
[opening voice-over] We all have heroes. People we look up to. People we aspire to be, who teach us how to be greater than we are because they are greater than we are. They're great if we don't look too closely. 'Cause if we get too close, we realize heroes are just regular people. And regular people can fail us.
You've been in your head all day. It's fine, 'cause I covered for you, but talk to someone. Work it out.
What do you need, Warren? Do you need me to be fragile? Do you need me to fall apart?
Oh, come on, now.
Would that help you? Because you keep looking at me with your eyes all soft like you want to help me, you want to make me feel better. I don't need to feel better. I don't need your sympathy. Stuff like this happens, and I am built for it. I'm fine. Leave me alone.
Why doesn't hockey just ban the fighting?
Are you kidding? It's part of the game, the good part. You got to shake up the other team or get your own team going.
Garth is the enforcer. Now, his job is to go in and take out the skills player, upset the other team. Seems he's pretty good at it.
Fights can be strategic, too. A fight can change momentum, clear the air, break a stalemate.
It also rallies the team against a common enemy.
Well, this is fascinating. And I thought I was just gonna learn about surgery.
Oh, no, Dr. Warren, it's me who's being schooled tonight. Isn't that why you allowed me into an OR?
I just wanted to see how you deal with a Dr. Webber.
You don't want to have this fight, sir. Someone always tries to, and they always get on board or get left behind.
You said fighting is the good part, right? Well, I hope you meant it.
[closing voice-over] Our heroes aren't special. They're just people. They're like us. They're just trying to survive. They're trying to be happy. Trying to do better. Be better. Feel better. Heroes aren't more special, more courageous than the rest of us. After all, they're only human. They hurt. They break. They bleed. But sometimes, every once in a while, when it matters, they get it right. And that changes everything. A hero is only human, but that's the point. If they can do it, so can you. So, you keep going. You don't give up. You stand tall. You fight. You always show up to save the day.
S13 E12None of Your Business
[opening voice-over] Everybody wants privacy for themselves. For other people, not so much.
They said that the trial was cancelled. You said that you were taking a plea.
I did.
Are you hiding? Are you evading the police? Are you on the lam?!
I can help you, but I have kids here.
