it's too cold
by the window
and too hot
It's the story of my life.
I mean, anytime I meet a guy,
it's it's the wrong time,
it's the wrong guy,
it's both.
And the sky looks tired
Case in point
How so?
Well here I am.
I'm I'm waiting for you
to make a move,
and so far nothing.
Really?
Really.
I think you're in
a vulnerable state right now,
So.
I don't want
to take advantage of that.
That has never stopped you
before with any other girls.
Well, you're not like
any other girls, Rebecca.
I am literally
throwing myself at you,
and you decide to choose
this exact moment
to be a decent human being.
Well, okay, so you don't want me
to be a decent human being?
Of course I do
In about an hour and a half.
It's all wrong
while you're gone
Okay, hold on.
R.
C.
South just patched in
a call from the U.
K.
For Dr.
Hill.
- You know he never takes those.
- I think you should to hear this, sir.
Line one.
A Dr.
Ardsley.
R.
S.
M.
Kelly.
Go away!
It's an emergency.
It's Kelly.
He can't see you here.
Yeah, I told you.
Story of my life.
Wait.
Oh
Oh, boy.
C
Okay.
Oh, you bad, bad, bad,
bad, bad, bad man.
Yeah.
There's a Dr.
Ardsley
on the line.
She insists on holding.
So when are you gonna
know about today?
Okay.
I need a, um
He's trying to book you
to London.
Okay, Justin,
I'm counting on you.
Work your magic.
The Vickerdale charter
leaves for Dubai at 1100 hours.
It's full, but you're number one
on the waiting list.
And I have you confirmed
on the same flight tomorrow
just in case.
Uh, my guy swears that
he's gonna do everything he can
to get you on today's flight.
Now do you remember your way
to the civilian terminal?
Yeah, I do.
Yeah.
Get to the gate
as soon as you can.
Right.
What about Dubai
to London?
Yeah, Hannah could you get
those papers
off the printer for me,
please?
I got you booked on
three flights today,
three flights tomorrow,
just in case.
And I've got you coming back
in 48 hours,
and if you need
longer than that,
then I'm gonna have to go
wake up colonel Marks.
No, 48 hours is fine.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
And, Simon,
I'm sorry about this.
Yeah, me, too.
Okay.
Whew.
Love the little
by the way.
You're welcome.
I'll meet
right up with you, okay?
Hmm.
Well, maybe he's just
not that into you.
Not funny.
Oh.
Oh.
No.
No, it's not
what you think.
Okay.
Whatever happens
in the B-hut
stays in the B-hut.
Nothing happens in the B-hut.
Hey, Bobby.
How are you?
Same old, same old.
How are you?
- I'm good.
- How are you?
I'm good, thanks.
He's a great kid, huh?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So what do you think
about the pictures?
Yeah, what do you want me
to say, that he's adorable?
Okay, he's adorable.
See.
What did
I tell you, huh?
But it doesn't change the fact
that we both have careers.
A lot of couples
manage to do both.
But you and I agreed that
we wouldn't be among them.
Or do you want me
to leave the military
so that I can raise a child
I haven't met?
Are you gonna leave, too,
or do you expect me
- to do this on my own?
- No, no, nobody has to leave their jobs.
Okay? Can we just talk
about this for a minute?
Isn't that
what we're doing?
It has to work
for both of us.
And it doesn't work
for me.
Look, I gotta go.
.
Of course you do.
No, I really gotta go.
Look, I want to talk about
this more.
I really do.
But I gotta go.
I love you.
Love you, too.
Everwood, heads up.
Ooh.
Nice catch.
Nice throw.
All right.
Almost done.
Okay?
I think maybe we should
give him a tetanus shot.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Could you, um, ask her
to open her mouth?
Sir, sir, sir.
He's from the, uh,
U.
S.
state department
Officially.
And unofficially?
Oh
Have a seat.
Thank you, colonel.
I have a letter
from the general
in command at R.
C.
South
asking for your cooperation.
This is all
highly classified, of course.
You're not with
the state department, are you?
You're from the O.
G.
A
The other government agency.
The CIA, in fact.
I can't confirm
or deny.
Of course.
I think we both know
where we stand.
And what could I do
for you?
We have a very valuable asset,
an Afghan national.
If it were known that he was
working with us,
well, his value
would diminish considerably.
Plus, he'll be killed.
That, too.
Mm-hmm.
He has heartburn all the time.
He thinks he might have
an ulcer.
I wonder why.
We'd like to bring him in,
have you fix him up
with minimal downtime
and total secrecy
No paperwork, no nothing.
Can I have your word
on that?
Well, on the secrecy, yeah.
But on the downtime,
that depends on
our medical judgment.
Fair enough.
Okay, so if it turns red
I want you
to see me right away.
Watch your step.
So can you tell her to take
two pills with food
each day until they're done?
Hmm?
Aah! Oh!
Watch it!
Grace!
Suzy!
Down! Down!
Suzy!
Aah.
No.
No, Suzy.
Suzy?
Is Suzy
Oh, Lord.
Oh.
Grace, you okay?
Okay? Okay?
Grace, you've been shot.
Grace.
Try not to move.
Okay.
Major?
Lisa, get on your P.
R.
C.
We need immediate air medevac.
Zero, this is Starlight.
Requesting air medevac
to our loc, stat.
Major Suzy Chao, K.
I.
A.
Repeat, K.
I.
A.
Over.
Let's get
our people in the air.
It's already done, sir.
Okay, on top of the torn artery,
we may have spinal damage.
Get Simon to standby, okay?
Copy that.
Request Dr.
Hill standing by
for a possible spinal injury.
Sir, Dr.
Hill's not responding
to any of his messages.
He probably left
his beeper behind.
- Just find him.
- Yes, sir.
Sir, can I have a word?
Of course.
Is it true that we're
bringing in the guy who
Yeah, the guy
who killed Suzy.
Can I speak freely, sir?
Of course.
Okay.
Here it is
I want to be sent home.
I can't do this.
I can't.
I know what you're gonna ask
of me, and I can't do it.
How am I supposed to be a doctor
when I want to kill someone?
What you're feeling
is normal.
Sir, it's not normal.
You don't you don't understand.
- I don't understand?
- No.
Captain, you're not the only one
who suffered a loss today.
I mean, I want that
son of a *** to come in here
so I can personally beat
the living daylights out of him.
He took one of my nurses.
So I know how you feel.
What do I do, sir?
You're gonna have to answer
that for yourself, Bobby.
I'm sorry I can't be
any more help.
Now I can call your chain of
command, have you reassigned,
but you're not gonna learn
how to get past this thing.
You walk out
that door right now,
it's gonna eat away at your soul
for the rest of your days.
I know.
So what do you want me to do?
Want me to make that call?
No, sir.
What do we got?
Got a torn renal artery.
I'm pinching it shut.
Possible spinal damage.
- We need to immobilize him on a backboard.
- Okay.
What's up?
Through-and-through G.
S.
W.
I got this.
- Yeah? What do we got here?
- It's it's nothing.
It's not nothing.
It's bleeding.
Let's get the field dressing on.
All right, do you
want to clamp it?
Clamp's bound to come
lower during transit.
I want to keep holding it.
Can you transport us both?
- I can do it.
- Yeah?
How's your hand?
Cramping.
Let's get a move on it.
All right, let's do it.
Hurry.
Lowering on three!
One, two, three!
You're gonna have to be
on top of him.
We'll strap you in.
We're good.
Are you okay?
Up on the barrel.
Good, good, good, good.
Going up.
Going up.
Going up.
You're good.
You're good.
You got it.
We all lost a friend today.
We all feel torn apart.
Now I've had to ask you to do
many things that are very hard,
and you've never failed.
Now I want you
to park these emotions
for the time being.
We'll have the time
to mourn for our lost friend.
It's just not now.
Paging major Sefton.
Paging major Sefton.
Here, sir.
Major Sefton,
please contact information.
Oh, you are kidding me.
Afraid not.
We need you.
Okay.
Prepare to lift.
One, two, three, up.
Pri-1 Bravo.
Bay 1!
Okay, go.
Go, go.
Bobby, coming your way.
Okay, G.

Gave 250 cc's
Unconscious and unresponsive.
Good job, Rebecca.
Okay, let's tube him.
Hang two units 0 neg.
Give ceftriaxone
Second clamp.
Stop bagging.
Let's get another gurney.
I can walk.
Oh!
Whoa, whoa.
Just indulge us, Grace.
You got it?
Hold on.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Got it.
Take it easy.
Take take it easy.
Slow down.
Hey.
Lie down.
Lie down.

Pulse 90, resps 16.
Guys, I can walk.
It's the colonel that insisted
on this stupid gurney.
Give 100 mics of fentanyl
followed by etomidate
over 60 seconds.
All right,
time for a nap now, Grace.
We're gonna
take you into the O.
R.
Oh, Lord.
Okay, I want you
to count back from 100.
Ah.
Oh, Rebecca, you okay?
We've all had better days.
I'm gonna finish prepping him.
You go scrub in, okay?
Yeah.
All right.
Let me see.
Hold still.
All right,
the bullet just grazed you.
You're gonna be fine.
All right?
I'm so sorry.
I'm so very sorry.
For what?
It's not your fault.
All right, we're gonna
get you inside,
get that cleaned up,
and give you tetanus booster.
You're gonna be fine.
All right?
Vans.
Be careful of her arm.
They shot you?
I'm fine, Bashier.
They missed.
Listen, call uncle.
Tell him that I'm okay,
and I will call him as soon
as I get some stitches, okay?
Yes, auntie.
And tell him
we need to move again.
Let's get her
to mortuary affairs.
Sir.
I'd like to accompany
Suzy's body.
Sir, I don't want
to leave her alone.
Of course.
Hey, Graham,
have you seen Simon?
Yes, he's waiting for you
already in the O.
R.
Thank you.
We had to delay his leave.
His leave?
Is he going somewhere?
London.
Dr.
Hill.
Dr.
Gordon.
London?
It's a long story.
Mm.
It better wait, then.
Yeah, it better wait.
I'm sorry.
I understand
we've come at a bad time.
We're ready for you
in the conference room, sir.
It feels like
it's on fire
from my stomach to my heart,
and when I lie down, my food
comes up into my throat.
Ah.
Sounds nasty.
Did he say "sounds nasty"
or did you?
Sorry, colonel.
That was me.
I see he has
a couple of gunshot wounds
and some surgery.
Do we need
to get into that, colonel?
No, I can diagnose him
without it,
but the surgery might have
contributed to the problem.
I don't think it's an ulcer.
I think
it's a hiatal hernia.
A C.
T.
scan will tell us for
sure, rule out any other causes.
An endoscopy will nail it down.
Will he need surgery?
Most probably yes.
A procedure
called fundoplication.
The C.
T.
scan will tell us.
Wait here.
I'll schedule a scan.
See when we can get
a scan.
Yes, sir.
All right.
I've got the weirdest feeling
I've seen that guy before.
Okay.
Well, keep it to yourself.
No spinal cord damage.
The spinal column is intact.
But the pedicle of the L-3
is snapped off
so it needs to be fused.
Where's Max?
Uh, next door.
Grace's shoulder.
Why?
Max.
Oh, hey.
- Are you free?
- Yeah, why?
Rebecca's patient has a vertebra
that needs to be fused.
Can you do it?
Why, is it below
your pay grade?
Can you do it or not?
Yeah, no problem, Simon.
I got it.
Max will be right in.
Simon.
Simon.
What are you doing?
I can't do it.
I'm not fit.
What are you talking about?
Of course you are.
You've done this
a thousand times.
You don't understand.
I'm drunk.
It just doesn't feel real.
I was just with her.
No, thanks, hon.
He's a keeper.
Yeah, he is.
Never fear.
Mad Max is here.
This the ***
who killed Suzy?
All right,
it's the pedicle of L-3.
Yeah, it looks
pretty straightforward.
It's no problem.
Leave it to me.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
All right.
I've braced myself.
Let me have it.
What the hell
was that about?
You don't look drunk
to me.
Well, I can walk and talk.
But I know when I'm fit
for surgery and when I'm not.
A lot of people saw
what happened back there,
so colonel Marks
is probably gonna find out.
Yeah, I expect he will.
In fact,
you should tell him.
No, I-I think
you should tell him.
No.
I'll let nature
take its course.
That's it? That's all
the explanation I get?
Really, that's it?
Well, I don't know
what explanation you need.
I don't know.
Something.
Throw me a bone here.
I mean, were you really
gonna go off to London
- without saying a word to me about it?
- Look, look, my schizophrenic brother
tried to commit suicide
last night, okay?
He nearly succeeded.
I have to
go and have him sectioned.
I think you call it
"committed.
"
All right?
That's the news.
I'm sorry.
Look,
if you see colonel Marks,
tell him
I'll be in the unready room
awaiting my fate.
Okay?
You wanted to see me, sir?
Yeah, come on in.
Sit.
Sit down.
What happened with, uh,
Simon today
from your point of view?
Well, he pulled himself
off the spinal fusion,
had Max do it.
Did he give you an explanation?
Let me make this easy
for you.
Did he say he was drunk?
Yes.
Did he seem drunk?
To be honest with you,
sir, no.
Not at all.
But he said he was,
and I took his word for it.
Okay.
Thanks.
How are you?
- Me?
- Mm-hmm.
I'm fine, sir.
Okay, I'm not fine.
I just shot a man
in the back,
and you know what keeps
going through my head?
The hippocratic oath.
Yeah.
First do no harm.
I was trying to do more
than just harm him.
I was
I was trying to kill him.
I was aiming
to sever his spine.
Missed by
Less than an inch.
You did the only thing
that you could.
That's not why I became
a doctor.
You're also a soldier.
Yeah? Well, maybe I'm not
cut out to be, sir.
Sir.
Ready for you now.
All right.
Be right there.
Thanks.
I think that you are.
You handled yourself
very well today
On every level
As a doctor
and as a soldier.
I hope that one day you can
look at it the same way.
All right.
Excuse me.
Son of a ***.
Well,
does he need surgery?
Yes.
How much?
Before we go on,
let me ask you a question.
Do you think we're idiots?
Sir?
Or do you not realize
that surgeons
can recognize their work
when they see it
in a C.
T.
scan?
You can?
Of course.
His name is Fahran Nawabi,
former number three Taliban,
Southern Afghanistan.
We did a laparatomy
and a thoracotomy
and then we fixed
an esophageal tear.
'Cause I'm not likely to forget
since you people
stole him
out of this hospital.
I am waiting
for an explanation, sir.
We had some
overzealous contractors
- working for us at that time.
- Does my chain of command
know you have an asset in the Taliban?
Former Taliban.
And yes, they do,
at a very high level.
Colonel, you have to realize
the harm that this
could cause if this got out.
He's still a source of
actionable intelligence for us.
Well, let me tell you this.
Asset or not,
when he's well enough,
I want you and him
out of my hospital.
Colonel, excuse me
for a moment, please.
Dude.
Uh, I mean, sir,
I remember where I saw
Walk with me.
That guy
Shh.
But I r
Quiet.
But I r
Shut up.
Where are we
Stop talking.
What's the matter?
You never saw that guy before.
But I did.
Then he had a long gray beard.
You need keep
your voice down.
Why? There's
no one else around.
Shush.
That man in there,
he is a total stranger.
He spat at me.
Listen, you like
working here with us?
Yes.
Yeah?
Then take my advice.
You never, ever saw
that guy before in your life.
Okay?
Okay?
Hey, Rebecca.
We're done.
Thank you.
Hope I wasn't interrupting.
No, it's all good.
We're finished.
Yeah?
So this is your new office?
Yeah, till I get on
the C-130.
How you doing?
You know,
I'm, uh, I'm doing.
It's been a strange day.
To say the least.
Can I talk to you?
When have you
ever needed to ask?
I know.
My, um, my patient,
he survived.
But
But?
While I was
in surgery operating,
I, um
In the back of my mind,
I-I wanted to fail.
I wanted him to die.
That's not our call
to make.
It's just so much
more complicated than that.
Welcome
To Kandahar.
Yeah.
I just want to know
if it's possible.
I'm sorry, but Sharia law
forbids adoption.
It's also against the law
of Afghanistan.
I mean, you can't take
children out of the country.
Then what about Aref?
We can't keep him here forever.
His uncle can
Hasn't done that well
so far.
- That's really not fair.
- Excuse me?
He put him in that orphanage
out of necessity,
not because he wanted to.
He'll be back
as soon as he finds work.
The first thing you did when you
found him is I offered him
- Yes, you were offering him money.
- I and he didn't take it.
He's proud.
If you really want to help him,
help him find a job.
Okay.
I can
Ask around the base and see
if there's anything available.
I'll ask around as well.
Simon.
Colonel's ready for you.
May God have mercy
on my soul.
You know,
you saved yourself in time,
but only just,
'cause if you would've
started operating,
I would've had to make it
my life mission
to have your medical license revoked.
I understand that, sir.
You shouldn't even
have scrubbed in.
Oh, I didn't even realize
I was gonna be in surgery.
Right.
You thought you were
on your way to London.
I recognize that,
and it's a point in your favor.
And I understand
the difficult circumstances.
It's fine.
All right.
Go to London.
Now do what you need
to do with your brother
But before you get back,
you and I need to have a talk.
I want you back.
But it's gonna have to be
on a different basis.
You want a neurosurgeon
who's gonna be reliable,
right?
You know, who's gonna be
reliable day or night.
I'm glad you understand.
I don't know
if I can be that guy.
all I need
is some sunshine
all I need
all I need
is some sunshine
all I need
the siren called
beyond the tree line
with another one
for the caves
and in the tarn
beyond those birches
Is a spirit
that I crave
and from the island
people watched you
Hey.
This little fella looks
a lot better today.
Yeah, the antibiotics
are kicking in.
I have some good news.
Oh, that's nice for a change.
What?
You know your Dr.
Hill?
- Mm-hmm.
- What about him?
He heard us talking.
And it seems he has a farm
here in Afghanistan.
Yeah, he does.
It's a long story.
Go on.
Well, he's offered to give
Aref's uncle a job on his farm.
Are you kidding me?
I thought he was sleeping.
Apparently not.
Simon, huh?
Just when you thought
you had him all figured out.
Huh.
You're okay with this,
right?
Me? Of course.
Yeah, why not?
Aref gets to be with his
family again.
It's all good.
need
and I need
is some sunshine
Yes, sir.
The colonel's, uh, stepped out
for a couple of minutes.
But he will be with us
presently.
Colonel Marks.
This is lieutenant Cliffgood
with the Military Police.
- Sir.
- How do you do?
I have a few questions
about the detainee.
Of course.
We just need to know when we can
take him out of your custody.
Trust me, as soon as
he's well enough to pee,
I'm sending him your way.
We're gonna squeeze that Taliban S.
O.
B.
For all he
He's not Taliban.
Like hell he isn't.
He was targeting me.
I may not
be able to prove it,
but I believe he was hired
to have me killed.
By whom?
Why don't you come
into my office?
Come on.
Have a seat.
I have been conducting
an investigation
on corruption within
our local police department.
I have made many enemies
because of this.
So you think
he's a police officer?
No, but he was hired by one
of them to have me killed.
The majority
of our local police department
don't have formal training.
They are simply tribal
militiamen wearing a uniform.
And I might add, the government
can't afford to pay them.
So their motivations
are not so ideological
but rather financial.
And if someone was to come
in the way of this
Well, I understand
why they want me gone.
You're not defending them,
are you?
No, of course not.
What he did is terrible.
He should suffer
the consequences.
But the context
is not so simple.
It never is, right?
I'll need to question
the local police forces
you've been investigating.
I can have that arranged,
but I don't think
you'll have any luck.
We'll do the best we can.
Lieutenant.
Hasti, now, listen,
you should take care
of yourself.
I mean, if there's
a price on your head
Colonel, we all have
our jobs to do.
If it's not the corrupt police,
it's the Taliban.
I would like to attend
the memorial for major Chao
If it's okay with you.
Yeah, of course it is.
Thank you.
Hey, at least sit on it.
I'm not
getting on that thing.
I can walk.
Always a pain in the ***,
Grace.
Why is that?
Why are you always a pain in the ***?
Because you wouldn't
have it any other way.
Is that right?
Yeah.
All right, so if you
need anything,
anything at all,
you know where to find me.
Aha.
You miss me already.
Travel safe, all right?
- Can I cut in?
- Oh.
You.
Come here.
Come here.
Oh.
All right, who's gonna
keep me up all night
with their
ridiculously loud snoring?
Thank you.
You stay outta trouble.
Me?
Dr.
Gordon,
that's an order.
Never.
Same to you, Dr.
Trang.
See you soon, major.
Well, that's my cue.
Grace.
I'm ridin' up front, Will.
I know, I know.
Thank you.
Come back soon.
Will do.
I have no idea
what to do next.
Bobby?
Yeah.
Sorry, Rebecca.
I have completely, um,
lost track of time
since the hockey game.
You want to start from
the hockey gamegood place.
Hockey game
I lost it.
Yeah.
Then there was Fitz,
and, uh oh, yeah,
and then I slept with Simon,
went to the women's clinic
with Pedersen
Whoa.
Back it up.
Back it up.
Back it up.
- You slept with Simon?
- What?
You slept with Simon?
No.
No, I no.
No, I didn't
We didn't sleep together.
We had just talking.
A little kissing.
A little kissing?
Mm-hmm.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know what it is.
H-how did you feel
about Suzy?
I mean
I never gave it a chance.
But she was
she was incredible, right?
I mean, you know,
she was smart
She kept telling me
I had a stick up my ***.
That's why I loved her.
I know.
She was right.
Don't let things go unsaid.
You came to see me off.
I'm touched.
Hmm.
What'd I tell ya?
It's the story of my life.
Come back.
I'll try my best.
No, do better than that.
Come back.
I served with distinction
no visions of glory
I served without question
of personal gain
seek no justification
it's not part of my story
and it offers no comfort
to the ones who remain
just carry me home
down the highway of heroes
people above
with their flags flying low
carry me softly
down the highway of heroes
by the dawn's early light
there was never more
I took up my vocation
I was called by my nation
without hesitation
my answer I gave
now I am not wondering
the things
that I might have been
I'm no consolation
to the forgotten brave
so carry me home
down the highway of heroes
people above
with their flags flying low
carry me softly
down the highway of heroes
by the dawn's early light
there was never more
there was never more
There was never more
