Episode
Number: #63
Director: Christopher
Chulack
Writer: Lydia Woodward
Description: Hathaway remains on suspension from
the hospital. While Hathaway is shopping at a family-owned neighborhood
store, two teenagers, Duncan (EWAN McGREGOR - "Trainspotting,"
"Emma") and James (Currie Graham), rob it. The teens had
planned a simple, nonviolent heist, but the situation escalates when the
elderly store owner shoots and injures James. Duncan shoots the owner,
and several customers are injured as well. Someone escapes and calls the
police. Trapped inside the store, the robbers take hostages, including
Hathaway and her 10-year-old neighbor, Robert (MASON GAMBLE -
"Dennis the Menace"). After persuading the thieves to allow
her to tend to the injured, Hathaway uses her medical skills and crude
implements from the store to help the victims. Unfortunately, she is
unable to save the elderly shopkeeper. She also negotiates with Duncan
and James. Hathaway calms Duncan, who is upset that he killed the old
man. Despite the tense situation, Hathaway sympathizes with him because
she, too, killed an old man by accidentally giving him the wrong blood.
Later, Duncan attempts to escape, taking Hathaway with him. However, a
police officer shoots him. The standoff ends. Duncan and James are
transported to the emergency room, where Hathaway reluctantly
relinquishes control of her patient, Duncan, to Ross. The hostages are
fine and owe their lives to Hathaway. Later, Duncan dies, while James
will probably live to be prosecuted.
