Nikolas: [Sighs]
[Chuckles]
Nadine: Hey.
Nikolas: You came back. What for? It’s late.
Nadine: Yeah, I was winding down after my shift and I drove by and saw the light was still on. Has it been like this all night?
Nikolas: Well, nothing clears out a waiting room like a patient collapsing. I just sent the staff home.
Nadine: Well, she’s doing a lot better, by the way, now that she’s on real antibiotics. I checked in on her before I left.
Nikolas: Good. Thank you.
Nadine: Dr. Hunter told me about the placebos.
Nikolas: Yeah, it’s so frustrating. I’m back-tracking our records for the third time now. But, on paper, everything looks perfect. What’s the point of a free clinic if people are afraid to come in?
Nadine: The patients will be back. Don’t worry.
Nikolas: [Laughs]
Nadine: There’s a real need for this place.
Nikolas: Not if we’re making them sicker than they were before. The mayor, he’s just looking for a reason to shut us down.
Nadine: You know, you keep slamming papers around, I’m going to have to start quoting Aunt Rayleen.
Nikolas: [Laughs] Okay.
Nadine: I — I know things didn’t go the way you want. We’ll figure something out. You obviously didn’t mean to make people sicker. So we’ll find out what’s wrong and make it right. I promise.
Nikolas: Okay. Thank you for believing in this project.
Nadine: Just doing my job.
Nikolas: Listen, do you mind going over these and see if I missed anything?
Nadine: I’d be happy to.
Nadine: Nikolas, did you hear that?
Nikolas: Hear what?
Nadine: Oh, uh, never mind, I got it.
Nadine: Oh, my God.
Nadine: Nikolas! Call 911.
Nikolas: What? What is it?
Nadine: He’s dead.
Lucky: Did you see anything?
Nikolas: No, I was in the — I was in the back here and she yelled out and said she heard something.
Nadine: Um, yeah, it sounded like a thump, like someone dropped something. I went outside and he was just lying on the ground.
Nikolas: And then I called 911.
Harper: So you saw the body first?
Nadine: Yeah, I checked his pulse. It was obvious he’d been dead for a while.
Harper: Did you see anything else, anyone running, driving away?
Nadine: Yeah, um, a car pulled out really fast. It turned left at the end of the block.
Lucky: What kind of car?
Nadine: Dark sedan, I think. I saw the first three letters of the license plate, it was ATJ.
