I know that Olivia came over here today,
and I know that you lied to me.
Okay, I -- I understand that this is bad,
but it's been extremely hard to be apart.
[ Exhales sharply ] And she lives alone,
and she's been being really careful,
and I've been being really careful --
That's what everybody thinks, Junior!
But they're not seeing what I am seeing at the hospital.
Today, I went from COVID patient to COVID patient
to COVID patient.
I intubated a woman that was my age, Junior,
and she was awake.
She was just looking in my eyes, terrified.
She got COVID working at the supermarket.
She had to go to work. She had no choice.
The same way I don't have a choice as a doctor!
And having Olivia over here is --
is disrespecting everything that I'm fighting for.
You know that I think you are a hero --
Stop with the hero stuff, Junior.
I'm afraid!
Afraid!
I'm doing everything in my power
to protect myself and my patients and my family,
and you are --
you're endangering all of it --
all of it,
just so you could see your girlfriend.
I'm sorry, Mom.
I'm really trying believe that we can get through this.
But it is hard
when people won't do this simple thing
for the greater good,
and it is even harder when my own son...
[ Exhales deeply ]
...won't do his part.
♪♪
I'm so, so sorry.
♪
It's gonna be okay, right?
[ Sighs ]
We're gonna look back at all this and say,
"I can't believe I was there," right.
I'm not gonna want to look back, Junior.
Mom.
♪♪
I think I'm just gonna go home.
Yeah, I think that's best.

Rainbow: Hey.
How's my favorite essential worker?
Too tired to rehash that debate.
Uh, no rehash, babe.
I just...
You know, I'm struggling.
[ Sighs ] I know.
There's so much pain going on right now,
and I can't do anything to ease it.
And you are over here on another level.
Ugh! Dre, you do not want to be on my level.
What I see every day is so hard...
It's hard to stay hopeful.
Well, let me see if I can help you out.
Now, more than ever,
the world needs its sexy doctors.
Oh.
And I am proud to say
that I am the husband of an essential...
[ Hushed ] Yes.
...first-ish responder.
Ish?
Come on, babe.
It's not like you're in the "ambalance" with them.
It's am-bu-lance.
Not if you want them to come fast.
Nope, you just can't help yourself.
It's okay.
[ Cellphone beeps ] Oh.
Let me see who this is.
Oh. Wow.
What?
Chrissy Teigen just tweeted this photo
with my billboard in the background.
Oh!
She said it's gonna be
"the definitive image of the pandemic in L.A."
That's cool. Yes!
What -- What d-- What exactly does that mean?
My billboard, it's saying that despite the desolation,
we will rise again!
Yes! I am inspiring the city!
I am essential!
You are the real hero, Dre!
Yes.
Dre: At this point it may be cliché,
but these are unprecedented times.
So we're all just trying to get through it
the best that we can...
with courage, with hope, and with our humanity.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
You saved my life.
You're heroes.
I intubated him last month.
And now he's going home.
[ Cellphone dings ] Good work.
In the absence of leadership,
it takes everyday people to step up.
Ready to go back to work? Yep.
I wish I could've said things got easier.
But even through the darkness,
Bow somehow managed to find some light.
That's what makes her a hero.
