Chicago Med

Were you able to track down

any info on my biological father?

- I don't wanna disrupt his life.

But it's what Vanessa wants.

Sharon, I'm lost.

- This is my colleague, Dr. Richardson.

We've met.

We did the family therapy, remember?

Does she not know about us?

- I haven't found the right time to tell her.

Is that really it, Daniel?

- The Vas-COM trial, please tell me

you're not gonna testify. - I am.

- These people will do anything

to protect themselves. You don't know

what they're capable of.

Some gang members got away.

I'm afraid there's a mole in CPD who tipped them off.

I've been made. - It's too dangerous

to stay with me, but I have a friend

who's fixing up a building.

Dylan, my name, it's Jo.

- Come on, Jo. Let's get you safe.

Bus schedule?

Headed to Cicero.

It's safer to wait till tonight.

- You got everything... cash, burner phones?

Yeah, I'm good.

I'll find some fleabag

and buy a beater in the morning, and then I'm gone.

You know, if you're right

and there's a dirty cop in the middle of all this,

you can't contact anyone.

You trust your dad?

Of course I do.

Hey. Come here.

- Give him this... my covert wire device.

Every conversation I recorded with the unwittings,

and police reports,

evidence of busts where less money and drugs

were recovered than were supposed to be there,

and it all points to some dirty cop with sticky fingers.

Okay.

You stay safe, all right?

Yo, birthday girl,

what are you doing here on your special day?

- I'm meeting with Dr. Halstead about the trial.

But I'll celebrate tonight. Is Anna coming?

- Your birthday party? She wouldn't miss it.

- And Lonnie said she's coming too,

so I'm guessing you told Anna about the two of you.

- You know what? I actually... I haven't yet.

I tried to do it the other night,

but, you know, her boyfriend was breaking up with her,

and it just... - And, and, and, and what?

- Well, it just didn't seem like the right time.

But, you know what? I have to, and guess what.

- Hmm? - She's coming here,

and we're going to your thing together tonight.

So I will tell her this afternoon.

I'll see you tonight.

- Talk to me, Cesar. - Donna Woods, 55, GCS 14.

- You're going to Treatment 6. Donna, honey, what happened?

- You know her? - Close the door

the cat will get out. You're wasting water.

- Frequent flyer... she's an alcoholic.

- She fell, hit her head, won't stop bleeding.

Okay. On my count.

One, two, three. - Hit her head.

Thank you.

It's all right, Donna. We got you.

Pulse is rapid.

We can use the eggs.

- Caput medusae. - Bad sign.

All right, press on the midline of her abdomen.

It's all right, Donna.

- Ascites? - Yeah, a lot of fluid.

All right, let's get a CBC, CMP, coags, ammonia labs,

and a CT abdomen and pelvis. - I'm on it.

- End-stage liver disease? - Yeah. Every indication.

Let's rinse her head wound, and I'll staple it shut.

All right.

- Hey. - Hey.

- Thought you'd be in a gown by now.

- Oh, I'm putting that off as long as possible.

- Why? I think you'd wear it well.

- Pamela. - Sam.

- You mind? - He can stay.

Thanks for coming in on a Sunday.

- A C5/C6 corpectomy with a C4-7 anterior fusion...

wouldn't miss it for the world. - Share your plan?

- To mitigate risk of complications, I've ordered

pre-op solumedrol and riluzole.

Intraop, we'll maintain

MAP goals and spinal cord perfusion.

How's that sound? - Sounds like a blast.

Let's hope not.

You should be gowned. See you on the other side.

- Ooh, I gotta say, I do not like

being on this side of the scalpel.

Hey, in no time at all,

you're gonna be back in the O.R. giving me hell.

I'll let you get changed. - Okay.

Listen, um, before Avery gets here,

I want you to have this.

You sure?

Absolutely.

No one I trust more.

- Don't accept the defense's statements as facts.

Read documents thoroughly

before answering any questions about them.

Don't hesitate to correct mistakes.

Listen, I'm not a lawyer.

But it sounds like you're ready for tomorrow.

- I'm ready to get it over with, that's for sure.

There's a lot of people who aren't happy

I'm testifying.

I'm sorry, Dr. Halstead.

When I asked you to take this on,

I didn't fully account for the stress that...

- Ms. Goodwin, I'm not complaining.

Yeah, I should probably get downstairs.

My shift's starting soon. - All right.

Well, I'll call you tomorrow

after my testimony's over with... let you know how it went.

Oh, that won't be necessary.

I'll be in the gallery watching for myself.

- Ms. Goodwin, you don't... - You think I'd abandon you

in the home stretch? Uh-uh.

We're seeing this through together.

Thank you.

Maggie!

- And a good morning. How was your Saturday night?

Eh, I survived.

I'm glad I ran into you, though.

I wanted to ask, any luck on finding my biological father?

Look, I don't mean to be pushy, but ever since meeting him

became this real possibility, I...

- I understand. - Look, if you just even

wanna give me his name, I can still...

Vanessa, no. I told you.

I have to be the one to reach out to him,

and once I find him... - Okay.

But if you need any help, just let me know, all right?

I'm, like, a bona fide internet sleuth.

I can find anyone. - Thanks, Sherlock.

That's frightening, but...

It's good to know.

- Ms. Lambert, I'm Dr. Halstead.

- It's Julia. This is my boyfriend, Owen.

- Hi. - BP 108/72, heart rate 68.

- Good, but I understand you're experiencing

some discomfort with urination?

Really mild, though.

- Okay, well, let me check your belly for areas of tenderness.

- This was totally overkill, coming into the emergency room,

but Owen insisted. - Well, I just didn't wanna

take any chances before tomorrow.

- Sit up for me, would you? What's on deck tomorrow?

- Uh, Julia is donating one of her kidneys... to me.

Oh, wow.

That's in... incredible.

I don't know about that.

I'm pretty crazy about this guy.

Just wanna make sure he sticks around.

- I have polycystic kidney disease,

and I've been managing with dialysis for years,

but about six months ago, I developed eosinophilia,

and the doctor said it was probably time

I needed a new kidney, so.

- And Julia, you offered to get tested

to see if you're a match? - Like I said,

I'm invested in keeping him around.

- Please tell me this is nothing.

May very well be.

The discomfort you described could be

an allergic reaction to underwear or soap

or even physical activity like cycling...

- Oh, I took a spin class on Monday.

Ah, there you go.

But I do wanna run a urine analysis and culture

to rule out a UTI.

- An infection would delay the transplant, wouldn't it?

- I'm afraid so. - Babe, that's fine.

If that's what the doctor says has to happen, we can wait.

- Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet.

We'll see what the labs say,

and in the meantime, I'm gonna have our OB-GYN,

Dr. Asher, come by.

If she think it's necessary, she'll perform a pelvic exam.

- Okay, thanks. - Thank you.

You got it.

It's okay.

- Donna, are you sure you don't want a family member with you?

- Your daughter, Erin, is listed

as your emergency contact.

Would you like us to call her?

- Over a bump on the head? Don't bother her.

My Erin works too hard.

- Donna, it's more than just a bump on the head.
