1
00:00:01,119 --> 00:00:03,802
- Previously on The Resident...
- This new neurosurgeon,
2
00:00:03,803 --> 00:00:05,810
- Dr. Cain.
- Do you know how much he bills?
3
00:00:05,811 --> 00:00:06,878
$80 million a year.
4
00:00:06,879 --> 00:00:08,339
Dr. Voss bills $2 million.
5
00:00:08,340 --> 00:00:10,025
Stick with me, and
we will rise together.
6
00:00:10,026 --> 00:00:11,710
Sky's the limit for men like us.
7
00:00:11,711 --> 00:00:12,894
Looked up my birth parents.
8
00:00:12,895 --> 00:00:14,988
- Where are they now?
- Right here in Atlanta.
9
00:00:14,989 --> 00:00:17,699
Three grown-ass kids. The
ones they didn't give away.
10
00:00:17,700 --> 00:00:20,035
I want to start talking about moving in.
11
00:00:20,036 --> 00:00:21,828
Let me do this at my own pace.
12
00:00:21,829 --> 00:00:23,830
I just only have one request.
13
00:00:23,831 --> 00:00:25,240
I really want those chickens.
14
00:00:25,241 --> 00:00:27,334
No chickens.
15
00:00:35,835 --> 00:00:38,953
_
16
00:00:45,961 --> 00:00:47,576
Good morning.
17
00:00:47,577 --> 00:00:49,472
I'm Dr. Bell. We spoke on the phone.
18
00:00:49,473 --> 00:00:51,249
I thought you said
there would be cameras.
19
00:00:51,250 --> 00:00:52,642
There will be.
20
00:00:52,643 --> 00:00:55,754
But I'm-I'm just here today
to go over the surgery.
21
00:00:55,755 --> 00:00:57,072
Okay.
22
00:00:57,073 --> 00:00:58,982
Come on in.
23
00:00:58,983 --> 00:01:02,869
Dale, Reggie, we are so excited
24
00:01:02,870 --> 00:01:04,512
that you're entrusting Chastain
25
00:01:04,513 --> 00:01:07,014
with this life-changing
separation surgery.
26
00:01:07,015 --> 00:01:09,505
We've always been joined at the hip.
27
00:01:09,506 --> 00:01:11,699
Side by side every day of our lives.
28
00:01:11,700 --> 00:01:14,768
To be honest, the idea
of not having my brother
29
00:01:14,769 --> 00:01:16,904
right next to me is a little...
30
00:01:16,905 --> 00:01:18,072
scary.
31
00:01:18,073 --> 00:01:19,607
I don't know what it would be like
32
00:01:19,608 --> 00:01:21,075
- to sleep without this jerk
- ... this jerk
33
00:01:21,076 --> 00:01:22,101
- snoring in my ear.
- snoring in my ear.
34
00:01:22,102 --> 00:01:24,027
After surgery, you can decide
35
00:01:24,028 --> 00:01:25,797
how much togetherness you want.
36
00:01:25,798 --> 00:01:27,674
How dangerous is it?
37
00:01:27,675 --> 00:01:29,008
- For Reggie and Dale?
- June,
38
00:01:29,009 --> 00:01:30,677
he already said the risk is minor.
39
00:01:30,678 --> 00:01:32,295
This is true.
40
00:01:32,296 --> 00:01:33,805
Because the connection
41
00:01:33,806 --> 00:01:37,141
is relatively superficial.
42
00:01:40,146 --> 00:01:42,147
I love you.
43
00:01:42,148 --> 00:01:44,040
Reggie, Dale,
44
00:01:44,041 --> 00:01:46,642
the two of you are the loves of my life.
45
00:01:46,643 --> 00:01:49,285
And you are my everything.
46
00:01:49,286 --> 00:01:50,846
My whole heart.
47
00:01:50,847 --> 00:01:52,440
Boys, we can figure this all out
48
00:01:52,441 --> 00:01:54,108
after the surgery.
49
00:01:54,109 --> 00:01:56,277
You both can have your own girlfriend.
50
00:01:56,278 --> 00:01:57,887
Isn't that right, Dr. Bell?
51
00:01:57,888 --> 00:02:00,540
If that's what they want.
52
00:02:00,541 --> 00:02:03,042
You don't seem happy about this.
53
00:02:03,043 --> 00:02:05,527
We want to know what you really think.
54
00:02:05,528 --> 00:02:06,829
- Talk to us.
- Talk to us.
55
00:02:06,830 --> 00:02:09,790
If you two want this surgery,
56
00:02:09,791 --> 00:02:11,334
I'll be there for you.
57
00:02:11,335 --> 00:02:13,031
But to be totally honest,
58
00:02:13,032 --> 00:02:16,038
I think our love is like
a three-legged stool.
59
00:02:16,039 --> 00:02:20,134
Remove a leg, and I'm afraid
we're gonna tip right over.
60
00:02:20,135 --> 00:02:22,437
Uh, this is a bigger decision
61
00:02:22,438 --> 00:02:24,639
- than just one girl.
- Would you like to speak
62
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:26,940
to some separated twins?
63
00:02:28,252 --> 00:02:29,977
No, thank you.
64
00:02:29,978 --> 00:02:33,072
We're sorry for wasting your
time, but the surgery is off.
65
00:02:33,073 --> 00:02:35,073
- Permanently.
- Permanently.
66
00:02:47,037 --> 00:02:49,755
What are you thinking about?
67
00:02:54,577 --> 00:02:58,263
I'm ready. Let's move in together.
68
00:03:00,809 --> 00:03:04,679
Mmm. Absolutely.
69
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,139
Mmm, mmm, as soon as possible.
70
00:03:07,140 --> 00:03:08,566
Mwah.
71
00:03:08,567 --> 00:03:12,278
I just wish we could get
that house that you showed me
72
00:03:12,279 --> 00:03:13,887
when you first started talking about it.
73
00:03:13,888 --> 00:03:15,740
- It was so right for us.
- Mm, in this market,
74
00:03:15,741 --> 00:03:17,408
somebody probably already took it.
75
00:03:17,409 --> 00:03:20,403
- Yeah.
- But we both have great places now.
76
00:03:20,404 --> 00:03:23,239
I could move into yours or
you could move into mine.
77
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,409
- Are those our only options?
- No, they're just the quickest.
78
00:03:28,945 --> 00:03:32,090
This place is rent-controlled.
79
00:03:32,091 --> 00:03:35,710
And I've clearly nailed
the urban chic look.
80
00:03:37,212 --> 00:03:38,954
It's just not very private.
81
00:03:38,955 --> 00:03:40,932
Mm, a short walk to work.
82
00:03:40,933 --> 00:03:42,992
Yeah. How's the ankle?
83
00:03:42,993 --> 00:03:45,219
I don't think you're gonna be
walking to work anytime soon.
84
00:03:45,220 --> 00:03:47,830
Is that your way of saying
we should live at your place?
85
00:03:47,831 --> 00:03:50,666
No, actually...
86
00:03:50,667 --> 00:03:53,945
After everything...
87
00:03:53,946 --> 00:03:57,340
- It's been a rough year.
- Yeah.
88
00:03:57,341 --> 00:04:00,476
I just think it might be
nice to have a fresh start.
89
00:04:00,477 --> 00:04:03,870
You know? Something
that's ours together.
90
00:04:06,166 --> 00:04:08,409
Boarding Flight 416...
91
00:04:08,410 --> 00:04:10,486
Now, Dawn, your doctor told you
92
00:04:10,487 --> 00:04:12,171
you have cancer of the appendix,
93
00:04:12,172 --> 00:04:14,490
which is a very rare,
aggressive form of cancer.
94
00:04:14,491 --> 00:04:17,010
So he basically said just
go home and give up hope.
95
00:04:17,011 --> 00:04:20,138
Yeah, he did. But I can't do that.
96
00:04:20,139 --> 00:04:22,631
I have seven beautiful kids.
97
00:04:22,632 --> 00:04:25,092
I want you all to take
a look at these pictures.
98
00:04:25,093 --> 00:04:28,304
- Take a look.
- Aw.
99
00:04:28,305 --> 00:04:30,973
Dawn is a single mom of seven kids
100
00:04:30,974 --> 00:04:33,509
that she adopted through
the foster care program.
101
00:04:33,510 --> 00:04:35,211
My kids need me.
102
00:04:35,212 --> 00:04:38,180
So, I did my research,
103
00:04:38,181 --> 00:04:40,123
and it turns out, there is something
104
00:04:40,124 --> 00:04:42,594
- that could buy me precious time.
- And what's that?
105
00:04:42,595 --> 00:04:45,946
They call it "the
Mother of All Surgeries."
106
00:04:45,947 --> 00:04:48,315
No doctor will do it.
107
00:04:48,316 --> 00:04:51,210
12 hospitals turned her down. 12.
108
00:04:51,211 --> 00:04:54,288
They say the odds are too long.
109
00:04:54,289 --> 00:04:56,899
But I am ready to fight, Montel.
110
00:04:56,900 --> 00:05:00,628
I just need a surgeon
brave enough to help me.
111
00:05:02,172 --> 00:05:04,673
Yeah, you can see we all
want this for you, Dawn.
112
00:05:04,674 --> 00:05:06,032
- Right?
- Yes.
113
00:05:06,033 --> 00:05:08,863
- We want this for your family.
- Thank you.
114
00:05:08,864 --> 00:05:12,431
And that's why today
you're gonna meet a surgeon
115
00:05:12,432 --> 00:05:16,218
who not only has the courage
but also has the skills
116
00:05:16,219 --> 00:05:17,862
to do the Mother of All Surgeries.
117
00:05:17,863 --> 00:05:20,041
Ladies and gentlemen, from
Chastain Memorial Hospital,
118
00:05:20,042 --> 00:05:22,909
please welcome Dr.
Barrett Cain to the show.
119
00:05:32,603 --> 00:05:36,506
Dawn, will you let me
fight this cancer with you?
120
00:05:37,740 --> 00:05:39,775
You're the answer to my prayers.
121
00:05:46,392 --> 00:05:50,561
Dr. Damn He's Hot can
operate on me any day.
122
00:05:52,456 --> 00:05:55,400
Mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm.
123
00:05:58,008 --> 00:06:06,008
- Synced and corrected by Firefly -
- www.addic7ed.com -
124
00:06:12,442 --> 00:06:15,919
- What's this?
- Cool hundred if you make the next one in.
125
00:06:33,105 --> 00:06:34,772
Save it for Augusta.
126
00:06:34,773 --> 00:06:36,274
Yeah, that's where the big money is.
127
00:06:36,275 --> 00:06:38,943
Just hang onto it and
let me, uh, put it toward
128
00:06:38,944 --> 00:06:41,988
a healthier wager on a real course.
129
00:06:41,989 --> 00:06:44,282
I'm sure word must have
gotten to you by now
130
00:06:44,283 --> 00:06:47,009
that I've brought in the Mother
of All Surgeries to Chastain.
131
00:06:47,010 --> 00:06:50,938
Yeah, about that, um...
132
00:06:50,939 --> 00:06:53,958
typically the chief of surgery
decides whether to take on
133
00:06:53,959 --> 00:06:55,817
a high-risk, low-reward
surgery like that one.
134
00:06:55,818 --> 00:06:58,454
Typically, I'm not used to
having someone vet my choices.
135
00:06:58,455 --> 00:07:02,133
This one's newsworthy, it's splashy.
136
00:07:02,134 --> 00:07:05,511
This would be great
publicity for Chastain.
137
00:07:05,512 --> 00:07:08,464
Greater than separating conjoined twins.
138
00:07:08,465 --> 00:07:14,102
Not if Chastain turns those
seven adorable foster children
139
00:07:14,103 --> 00:07:16,180
- into orphans.
- I guarantee that will not happen.
140
00:07:16,181 --> 00:07:17,830
That is not a guarantee you should make.
141
00:07:17,831 --> 00:07:20,318
This surgery is hardly that simple.
142
00:07:20,319 --> 00:07:21,819
It's a brutal procedure.
143
00:07:21,820 --> 00:07:25,007
It's like ten abdominal
surgeries rolled into one.
144
00:07:25,008 --> 00:07:26,240
You're worrying too much.
145
00:07:26,241 --> 00:07:28,421
The cancer has already
infiltrated her spine.
146
00:07:28,422 --> 00:07:30,912
So, even if the cancer is in end-stage,
147
00:07:30,913 --> 00:07:33,706
the woman can die in a week,
even without the surgery.
148
00:07:33,707 --> 00:07:36,209
Now, on the off chance
she gains no more time...
149
00:07:36,210 --> 00:07:37,909
Or she dies on the table...
150
00:07:37,910 --> 00:07:40,788
We gave a mother and
her seven kids hope.
151
00:07:40,789 --> 00:07:43,948
We took a moon shot that
no other hospital would.
152
00:07:43,949 --> 00:07:47,512
So, regardless of the
outcome, we're heroes.
153
00:07:47,513 --> 00:07:49,538
Which is actually why
I came to see you today.
154
00:07:49,539 --> 00:07:53,509
I am assembling a team of the very best.
155
00:07:53,510 --> 00:07:56,394
Which means you, as my cocaptain...
156
00:07:57,714 --> 00:08:01,424
... we share in the
publicity and in the glory.
157
00:08:01,425 --> 00:08:03,143
- Or the blame.
- You know, Randolph,
158
00:08:03,144 --> 00:08:06,239
I actually took you for a gambling man.
159
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:10,259
The PR payout on this is off the charts.
160
00:08:10,260 --> 00:08:12,319
What's the problem?
161
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,538
Stakes too high for you?
162
00:08:18,237 --> 00:08:20,102
If we do this, we could be fired.
163
00:08:20,103 --> 00:08:21,771
If we don't, then I'm quitting.
164
00:08:21,772 --> 00:08:24,498
Is this the breaking and
entering stage of grief?
165
00:08:24,499 --> 00:08:25,941
Maybe.
166
00:08:25,942 --> 00:08:28,410
- You backing out?
- No.
167
00:08:28,411 --> 00:08:31,079
They say it's better to
ask for forgiveness...
168
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,598
Than permission.
169
00:08:36,311 --> 00:08:38,604
Hey. Give me a shot of cortisone.
170
00:08:38,605 --> 00:08:41,807
What's wrong? Physical
therapy isn't helping?
171
00:08:41,808 --> 00:08:43,776
No, it's helping,
but it's just a long process.
172
00:08:43,777 --> 00:08:45,736
I need a little help
getting through today.
173
00:08:45,737 --> 00:08:47,963
Hmm. No.
174
00:08:47,964 --> 00:08:50,357
As in N-O, not a chance in hell.
175
00:08:50,358 --> 00:08:51,734
Pain is the body's warning system.
176
00:08:51,735 --> 00:08:53,235
Mask it and what happens?
177
00:08:53,236 --> 00:08:55,270
You can push yourself too
hard and hurt yourself again.
178
00:08:55,271 --> 00:08:58,499
But I'm a doctor, so I won't do that.
179
00:08:58,500 --> 00:09:01,969
Here's my answer:
acetaminophen, ice, elevation.
180
00:09:01,970 --> 00:09:04,839
Now, come on, I'll walk you
down to PT... ignore that.
181
00:09:06,875 --> 00:09:08,175
Sorry.
182
00:09:08,176 --> 00:09:10,343
I will find you, Conrad.
183
00:09:12,288 --> 00:09:14,640
I know where you work.
184
00:09:19,888 --> 00:09:23,495
- Traitor.
- It's a rotation in the oncology service.
185
00:09:23,496 --> 00:09:24,775
Everyone does rotations.
186
00:09:24,776 --> 00:09:27,111
Yeah, but it's breaking
my heart to think of you
187
00:09:27,112 --> 00:09:29,805
in anything but
eye-catching green scrubs.
188
00:09:29,806 --> 00:09:31,940
- Ow.
- ♪ Babe magnet. ♪
189
00:09:31,941 --> 00:09:35,010
He's leaving us to roll in chemo
cash. That is not attractive.
190
00:09:35,011 --> 00:09:37,163
It's, you know, it's, it's betrayal.
191
00:09:37,164 --> 00:09:38,772
Tumor biology has fascinated me
192
00:09:38,773 --> 00:09:40,741
since my publication in JAMA Oncology.
193
00:09:40,742 --> 00:09:42,281
- You know that.
- Yeah, yeah, well,
194
00:09:42,282 --> 00:09:43,535
try to remember us little people
195
00:09:43,536 --> 00:09:47,213
down here saving lives
without kickbacks from pharma.
196
00:09:58,201 --> 00:10:00,202
- Thank you.
- Thanks.
197
00:10:00,203 --> 00:10:03,296
I'm so glad you could make it for lunch.
198
00:10:03,297 --> 00:10:04,649
Adaku, it's been ages.
199
00:10:04,650 --> 00:10:06,642
The photos you've been
posting look amazing,
200
00:10:06,643 --> 00:10:09,344
but it's impossible to keep
track of where you've been.
201
00:10:09,345 --> 00:10:12,031
Kyoto, New Zealand, Norway.
202
00:10:12,032 --> 00:10:14,516
Okay, please don't tell me
203
00:10:14,517 --> 00:10:18,870
that this trip was some
sort of bucket list.
204
00:10:20,832 --> 00:10:23,559
I'm not dying.
205
00:10:23,560 --> 00:10:25,060
I've never felt more alive.
206
00:10:25,061 --> 00:10:26,395
I beat breast cancer.
207
00:10:26,396 --> 00:10:29,340
Thank goodness.
208
00:10:29,341 --> 00:10:34,135
I was on a... babymoon.
209
00:10:38,241 --> 00:10:39,641
I'm pregnant.
210
00:10:40,877 --> 00:10:43,395
Aren't you gonna say something?
211
00:10:45,190 --> 00:10:46,899
What do you want me to say?
212
00:10:46,900 --> 00:10:49,360
"I'm happy for you, Adaku.
213
00:10:49,361 --> 00:10:51,673
You've wanted to be a
mother your entire life"?
214
00:10:51,674 --> 00:10:53,757
- What did your oncologist say?
- "Congratulations"?
215
00:10:53,758 --> 00:10:54,982
This is not a joke, Adaku.
216
00:10:54,983 --> 00:10:56,725
Have you been following her advice?
217
00:10:56,726 --> 00:10:58,485
Completely.
218
00:10:58,486 --> 00:11:01,215
She told me to extract
eggs before chemo, so I did.
219
00:11:01,216 --> 00:11:02,952
She told me to wait until after chemo
220
00:11:02,953 --> 00:11:06,043
until we knew that I was
cancer-free to get pregnant.
221
00:11:06,044 --> 00:11:10,214
And you did all of this without
telling me? Your best friend?
222
00:11:10,215 --> 00:11:12,133
I didn't want to tell you,
223
00:11:12,134 --> 00:11:13,575
because I knew you'd say don't do it.
224
00:11:13,576 --> 00:11:16,077
Have my ovaries and
tubes removed. It's safer.
225
00:11:16,078 --> 00:11:18,806
BRCA1 mutation is definitely
linked to ovarian cancer.
226
00:11:18,807 --> 00:11:20,590
Is it so awful that I want you safe?
227
00:11:20,591 --> 00:11:22,545
I am safe. I am healthy.
228
00:11:22,546 --> 00:11:24,712
I am fit as a fiddle.
229
00:11:24,713 --> 00:11:26,564
They said you were free of breast cancer
230
00:11:26,565 --> 00:11:28,515
before you got pregnant, right?
231
00:11:28,516 --> 00:11:31,235
That was also before your
trip, so months ago now.
232
00:11:31,236 --> 00:11:33,963
I have a friend in oncology
233
00:11:33,964 --> 00:11:36,523
who can check to make sure
there's nothing worrisome
234
00:11:36,524 --> 00:11:38,242
on your ovaries either.
235
00:11:38,243 --> 00:11:40,736
Will you just go with
me for a quick test?
236
00:11:40,737 --> 00:11:44,081
To... put my troubled mind at ease?
237
00:11:44,082 --> 00:11:46,308
Yes, dear Mina,
238
00:11:46,309 --> 00:11:48,418
I can do that.
239
00:11:51,039 --> 00:11:53,240
Yes, yes, yes.
240
00:11:53,241 --> 00:11:55,542
We get this once a month.
241
00:11:55,543 --> 00:11:57,302
It's me and you, baby.
242
00:12:02,659 --> 00:12:05,219
Doughnut holes are my preference.
243
00:12:05,220 --> 00:12:06,929
Baker's dozen.
244
00:12:06,930 --> 00:12:08,709
Glazed, chocolate, jelly.
245
00:12:08,710 --> 00:12:09,940
Finish with the powder.
246
00:12:09,941 --> 00:12:10,941
I like to get my hands dirty
247
00:12:10,942 --> 00:12:12,943
in my work and my baked goods,
248
00:12:12,944 --> 00:12:15,838
but I do not dunk.
249
00:12:15,839 --> 00:12:17,272
That's me.
250
00:12:17,273 --> 00:12:19,107
Speaking of me, I am...
251
00:12:19,108 --> 00:12:21,643
I know who you are.
252
00:12:21,644 --> 00:12:23,829
There were photos of you
in the files e-mailed to me
253
00:12:23,830 --> 00:12:25,482
by the adoption agency.
254
00:12:25,483 --> 00:12:28,334
You are my egg donor's sperm donor.
255
00:12:28,335 --> 00:12:30,686
"Biological father" works just as well.
256
00:12:30,687 --> 00:12:32,688
Ah, the word "father" in any capacity
257
00:12:32,689 --> 00:12:35,190
is reserved for the man who raised me.
258
00:12:35,191 --> 00:12:37,176
Come on, dawg.
259
00:12:37,177 --> 00:12:39,930
I-I-In what world did ambushing
me like this make sense?
260
00:12:39,931 --> 00:12:41,363
I have my reasons.
261
00:12:41,364 --> 00:12:43,757
Now, you can either hear me out
262
00:12:43,758 --> 00:12:45,717
or do your damnedest to chase me off.
263
00:12:45,718 --> 00:12:46,897
Don't push my buttons,
264
00:12:46,898 --> 00:12:49,240
or I will push back and I
will decimate your buttons.
265
00:12:49,241 --> 00:12:50,839
You gonna play fair, I can take it.
266
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,174
But you cross a line, I will defend
267
00:12:53,175 --> 00:12:56,653
with a tongue just as keen as yours.
268
00:13:01,368 --> 00:13:04,476
We are grown-ass men now.
269
00:13:05,855 --> 00:13:10,917
And I am here to talk to you
about grown-ass men things.
270
00:13:19,335 --> 00:13:21,128
Half your genes come from me,
271
00:13:21,129 --> 00:13:22,263
and I'm dying.
272
00:13:22,264 --> 00:13:24,014
Make an appointment.
273
00:13:24,015 --> 00:13:26,808
It's hereditary.
274
00:13:27,911 --> 00:13:31,813
Which means you might be dying, too.
275
00:13:37,919 --> 00:13:39,627
If you're experiencing immediate pain,
276
00:13:39,628 --> 00:13:41,061
come to the front.
Otherwise, take a seat
277
00:13:41,062 --> 00:13:42,462
and we'll be right with you.
278
00:13:45,003 --> 00:13:46,561
Everett Dobb.
279
00:13:46,562 --> 00:13:48,855
Executive director of
the transformation team.
280
00:13:48,856 --> 00:13:51,041
- Transformation team?
- I facilitate
281
00:13:51,042 --> 00:13:53,994
a smooth operational shift
between the old and new regimes,
282
00:13:53,995 --> 00:13:56,772
Chastain and Red Rock, by
managing the golden triangle
283
00:13:56,773 --> 00:13:58,151
of patient safety, access,
284
00:13:58,152 --> 00:14:00,886
- and cost.
- Well, that's a mouthful.
285
00:14:02,612 --> 00:14:04,871
We did a cost-benefit analysis
and closed this clinic.
286
00:14:04,872 --> 00:14:05,948
I'm not clear what you're doing here,
287
00:14:05,949 --> 00:14:07,638
- but you're trespassing.
- Well, Chastain
288
00:14:07,639 --> 00:14:09,894
has an obligation to provide
health care for those in need.
289
00:14:09,895 --> 00:14:12,287
We are a nonprofit
hospital and tax-exempt,
290
00:14:12,288 --> 00:14:13,622
so it's a legal requirement.
291
00:14:13,623 --> 00:14:14,940
An obligation we fulfill
292
00:14:14,941 --> 00:14:16,749
by treating the uninsured in our ER.
293
00:14:16,750 --> 00:14:18,927
I'm not sure it's considered
charity when you're turning them
294
00:14:18,928 --> 00:14:21,572
into collections and docking
paychecks when they can't pay.
295
00:14:21,573 --> 00:14:23,065
All of which is in alignment
296
00:14:23,066 --> 00:14:24,925
with our core value of
fiscal responsibility
297
00:14:24,926 --> 00:14:27,027
and... I might point
out... is totally legal.
298
00:14:27,028 --> 00:14:29,029
You, on the other hand, broke the law.
299
00:14:29,030 --> 00:14:31,106
I can have you arrested
for breaking and entering.
300
00:14:31,107 --> 00:14:32,583
If you close the clinic,
301
00:14:32,584 --> 00:14:34,835
Chastain could very well
lose its nonprofit status,
302
00:14:34,836 --> 00:14:36,995
ending the tax break
and saddling the hospital
303
00:14:36,996 --> 00:14:38,496
with a bill for millions of dollars.
304
00:14:38,497 --> 00:14:40,722
We won't be audited for two years.
305
00:14:40,723 --> 00:14:43,302
Empty this place and vacate now,
306
00:14:43,303 --> 00:14:44,928
or I will call the police.
307
00:14:51,554 --> 00:14:53,095
I know you already know this,
308
00:14:53,096 --> 00:14:55,850
but Dr. Grisham is going to
do a transvaginal ultrasound.
309
00:14:55,851 --> 00:14:58,108
It'll allow us to check
your reproductive organs
310
00:14:58,109 --> 00:14:59,158
for any signs of cancer.
311
00:14:59,159 --> 00:15:00,778
Remember, don't get
distracted by the fetus.
312
00:15:00,779 --> 00:15:03,304
Just make sure her ovaries look normal.
313
00:15:03,305 --> 00:15:05,888
I love her, but she's bossy.
314
00:15:05,889 --> 00:15:08,702
I love her because she's bossy.
315
00:15:08,703 --> 00:15:10,070
Never say that again.
316
00:15:10,071 --> 00:15:11,871
Okay, guys, we're ready to start.
317
00:15:11,872 --> 00:15:14,082
I'll be outside if you need me.
318
00:15:16,169 --> 00:15:18,453
Grisham's the best and always busy.
319
00:15:18,454 --> 00:15:20,397
- Thanks for getting us in.
- No worries.
320
00:15:20,398 --> 00:15:22,007
She's lucky to have you.
321
00:15:22,008 --> 00:15:24,492
But, Mina, don't scare her off too much.
322
00:15:24,493 --> 00:15:26,086
Let her enjoy being pregnant.
323
00:15:26,087 --> 00:15:28,639
I've watched too many women,
particularly women of color,
324
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,716
be harmed because no one
was looking out for them.
325
00:15:30,717 --> 00:15:32,201
You know that as well as anyone.
326
00:15:32,202 --> 00:15:33,535
I hear you.
327
00:15:33,536 --> 00:15:35,336
But Adaku's getting great care,
328
00:15:35,337 --> 00:15:36,814
and she's done everything right.
329
00:15:36,815 --> 00:15:39,717
Her dream of becoming
a mother is coming true.
330
00:15:39,718 --> 00:15:42,569
Except the pregnancy hormones
might bring her cancer back
331
00:15:42,570 --> 00:15:45,572
or increase the risk of ovarian cancer.
332
00:15:45,573 --> 00:15:47,274
I'm afraid of losing her.
333
00:15:49,277 --> 00:15:50,911
I know.
334
00:15:50,912 --> 00:15:52,779
Triple negative breast cancer is scary.
335
00:15:52,780 --> 00:15:54,781
But we understand more
about it every day.
336
00:15:54,782 --> 00:15:56,725
And now we can analyze tumor DNA
337
00:15:56,726 --> 00:15:58,393
and know that Adaku is less likely
338
00:15:58,394 --> 00:16:00,062
to respond to pregnancy hormones.
339
00:16:00,063 --> 00:16:02,497
It won't increase her
risk of reoccurrence.
340
00:16:02,498 --> 00:16:05,342
Your fear is understandable
341
00:16:05,343 --> 00:16:07,219
but groundless.
342
00:16:07,220 --> 00:16:08,679
I promise.
343
00:16:11,453 --> 00:16:12,486
I got to go.
344
00:16:12,487 --> 00:16:13,745
Keep me posted, okay?
345
00:16:14,816 --> 00:16:16,407
Thank you.
346
00:16:18,161 --> 00:16:19,869
Lamar gave me full access
347
00:16:19,870 --> 00:16:21,442
to his medical file, and it indicates
348
00:16:21,443 --> 00:16:23,527
his emphysema's in early stages.
349
00:16:23,528 --> 00:16:25,887
So he's not dying?
350
00:16:25,888 --> 00:16:27,147
No.
351
00:16:27,148 --> 00:16:29,816
He does have the alpha-1
antitrypsin deficiency.
352
00:16:29,817 --> 00:16:32,369
Which can lead to end-stage
lung disease over time
353
00:16:32,370 --> 00:16:33,561
but nothing imminent.
354
00:16:33,562 --> 00:16:34,930
Exactly.
355
00:16:34,931 --> 00:16:37,875
So now I'm gonna draw some blood
356
00:16:37,876 --> 00:16:39,788
and see if you have
the deficiency as well.
357
00:16:39,789 --> 00:16:41,536
Why would he show up and lie like that?
358
00:16:41,537 --> 00:16:42,796
I don't know, to get the attention
359
00:16:42,797 --> 00:16:44,935
- of the child he gave away?
- Yeah, but why?
360
00:16:46,042 --> 00:16:48,719
I think there's more to
the story than you know.
361
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,222
You think?
362
00:16:51,223 --> 00:16:53,081
Initial diagnosis.
363
00:16:54,642 --> 00:16:57,135
Biology's a huge bitch, man.
364
00:16:57,136 --> 00:16:59,513
I mean, Lamar rolls up on me
365
00:16:59,514 --> 00:17:01,456
with my walk, my talk.
366
00:17:01,457 --> 00:17:04,068
I never met the man, but
it's obvious we share DNA.
367
00:17:04,069 --> 00:17:06,570
Yeah, well, I struggled to
give my dad a second chance
368
00:17:06,571 --> 00:17:08,072
for a lot of reasons.
369
00:17:08,073 --> 00:17:10,074
But then, when I decided
to let him in a bit,
370
00:17:10,075 --> 00:17:11,800
I discovered some things,
some good things about him
371
00:17:11,801 --> 00:17:13,302
I wouldn't have known
if I'd just shut him out.
372
00:17:13,303 --> 00:17:15,804
Well, you and your dad were
estranged, but he raised you.
373
00:17:15,805 --> 00:17:17,498
You had a foundation.
374
00:17:17,499 --> 00:17:20,084
This man gave me away.
375
00:17:20,085 --> 00:17:23,044
He married my biological
mom, had three more kids,
376
00:17:23,045 --> 00:17:24,245
full siblings to me,
377
00:17:24,246 --> 00:17:26,307
and none of 'em cared to look me up.
378
00:17:27,783 --> 00:17:29,342
Until now.
379
00:17:34,582 --> 00:17:38,656
I am very excited to consult
on the Mother of All Surgeries.
380
00:17:38,657 --> 00:17:41,921
The cancer has spread from
her appendix to her colon,
381
00:17:41,922 --> 00:17:45,700
ovaries, gall bladder,
kidneys, and peritoneum.
382
00:17:45,701 --> 00:17:48,173
It's hard to believe it's even operable.
383
00:17:48,174 --> 00:17:50,096
- It isn't.
- One opinion.
384
00:17:50,097 --> 00:17:53,258
I'll remove any visible
tumor I see, meticulously,
385
00:17:53,259 --> 00:17:55,536
even if it means
taking the entire organ.
386
00:17:55,537 --> 00:17:57,663
Then the cavity will be filled
387
00:17:57,664 --> 00:17:59,456
with hot chemo; we'll bathe them.
388
00:17:59,457 --> 00:18:00,982
Scalding-hot chemo.
389
00:18:00,983 --> 00:18:04,224
- 107 degrees.
- Enough to burn or destroy
390
00:18:04,225 --> 00:18:06,748
any microscopic cells that remain.
391
00:18:06,749 --> 00:18:08,132
But still won't touch
392
00:18:08,133 --> 00:18:10,859
the lesion wrapped
around her spinal column,
393
00:18:10,860 --> 00:18:12,803
with a pathological fracture.
394
00:18:12,804 --> 00:18:15,983
Which is why you're an
essential part of the surgery.
395
00:18:15,984 --> 00:18:18,024
I'm assuming you'll be
taking the anterior approach
396
00:18:18,025 --> 00:18:20,427
- to the spinal lesions?
- I won't be doing a damn thing.
397
00:18:21,717 --> 00:18:24,505
The cancer is too widespread
and too aggressive.
398
00:18:24,506 --> 00:18:27,317
The only acceptable
approach here is hospice.
399
00:18:27,318 --> 00:18:28,982
This is a high-profile case.
400
00:18:28,983 --> 00:18:30,966
There's a family counting on us.
401
00:18:30,967 --> 00:18:32,472
And we will fail them.
402
00:18:33,633 --> 00:18:36,708
If so much as a cell, one
cell of tumor is missed,
403
00:18:36,709 --> 00:18:37,777
which we know will happen,
404
00:18:37,778 --> 00:18:39,149
the cancer will grow back
405
00:18:39,150 --> 00:18:42,040
before the patient even recovers
from this barbaric surgery.
406
00:18:42,041 --> 00:18:45,126
I'm gonna make sure this
poor woman understands that.
407
00:18:50,438 --> 00:18:52,617
Malia, Malia, Malia, Malia, grab him.
408
00:18:52,618 --> 00:18:54,493
- Oh.
- Hello, darling.
409
00:18:54,494 --> 00:18:55,776
You don't want to go out there.
410
00:18:55,777 --> 00:18:57,572
It's much nicer in here with Mummy.
411
00:18:57,573 --> 00:19:00,333
So, guys, hey, listen up.
412
00:19:00,334 --> 00:19:02,889
These are the doctors
that are gonna be helping
413
00:19:02,890 --> 00:19:04,579
Dr. Cain save Mom.
414
00:19:04,580 --> 00:19:06,547
- Can you say hey?
- You're gonna save Mom?
415
00:19:08,550 --> 00:19:10,051
Oh.
416
00:19:10,052 --> 00:19:13,211
Yeah. Hey, you know, I heard
that the cafeteria's having
417
00:19:13,212 --> 00:19:17,278
kind of a special on
ice cream sundaes today.
418
00:19:17,279 --> 00:19:19,551
Maybe you could go down there
and tell them Dr. Bell said
419
00:19:19,552 --> 00:19:20,704
to have a treat on him.
420
00:19:20,705 --> 00:19:22,097
Ice cream! Yay!
421
00:19:22,098 --> 00:19:24,866
Shh!
422
00:19:24,867 --> 00:19:26,601
Quiet, bunnies.
423
00:19:26,602 --> 00:19:28,870
All right.
424
00:19:28,871 --> 00:19:30,439
Hop, hop, hop.
425
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,383
Hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop,
426
00:19:33,384 --> 00:19:35,410
hop, hop, hop, hop.
427
00:19:35,411 --> 00:19:37,078
They're quite the handful.
428
00:19:40,249 --> 00:19:43,843
Malia should be in college right now.
429
00:19:43,844 --> 00:19:46,455
I have to get better so
I can take over again.
430
00:19:47,574 --> 00:19:49,942
Dawn, would you mind telling
me what you understand
431
00:19:49,943 --> 00:19:51,442
about your prognosis?
432
00:19:55,965 --> 00:19:58,075
I understand everything.
433
00:19:58,076 --> 00:20:00,661
In the best-case scenario,
this isn't a cure.
434
00:20:00,662 --> 00:20:04,414
There is only a slim hope
this will buy you more time.
435
00:20:04,415 --> 00:20:06,441
I'll take it.
436
00:20:06,442 --> 00:20:10,312
And do you also understand
that it's far more likely
437
00:20:10,313 --> 00:20:13,271
that you'll have less
time with your children?
438
00:20:13,272 --> 00:20:16,840
This surgery is so dangerous,
y-you may not survive.
439
00:20:19,302 --> 00:20:21,394
I'm dying anyway.
440
00:20:21,395 --> 00:20:23,638
The odds may be long
441
00:20:23,639 --> 00:20:26,441
that this will help,
but I want to beat them.
442
00:20:26,442 --> 00:20:28,700
And I want to help you, but...
443
00:20:28,701 --> 00:20:30,145
No buts.
444
00:20:30,146 --> 00:20:34,823
I will do anything, against any odds,
445
00:20:34,824 --> 00:20:36,450
to stay with my kids
446
00:20:36,451 --> 00:20:38,020
as long as I can.
447
00:20:39,826 --> 00:20:41,226
I can't give up.
448
00:20:45,906 --> 00:20:48,146
I still don't think there's
a chance that surgery
449
00:20:48,147 --> 00:20:50,089
is going to give that
poor woman more time.
450
00:20:50,090 --> 00:20:53,560
I have spoken to her at length,
and she understands that.
451
00:20:53,561 --> 00:20:56,470
Yeah, she seems perfectly
aware of the lunacy
452
00:20:56,471 --> 00:20:59,007
that is the Mother of All Surgeries.
453
00:20:59,008 --> 00:21:00,842
And in the end, it's her decision.
454
00:21:00,843 --> 00:21:03,511
Well, exactly, and she
is gonna have this surgery
455
00:21:03,512 --> 00:21:05,071
with or without Chastain.
456
00:21:05,072 --> 00:21:06,772
After her last TV appearance,
457
00:21:06,773 --> 00:21:08,625
other hospitals tried to poach her case.
458
00:21:08,626 --> 00:21:11,081
They're less qualified,
and they don't have you.
459
00:21:11,082 --> 00:21:13,003
Don't worry, I'm in.
460
00:21:14,489 --> 00:21:17,134
But not because I agree.
461
00:21:17,135 --> 00:21:20,053
But because I'm gonna make
good and damn well sure
462
00:21:20,054 --> 00:21:23,031
that Dawn makes it off that table alive
463
00:21:23,032 --> 00:21:25,613
and wakes up to have
as many days as possible
464
00:21:25,614 --> 00:21:27,852
with her children.
465
00:21:36,353 --> 00:21:39,638
The clinic costs Chastain
money, end of story.
466
00:21:39,639 --> 00:21:43,051
I have graphs and charts that
show it actually saves money
467
00:21:43,052 --> 00:21:44,310
by diverting the uninsured...
468
00:21:44,311 --> 00:21:46,613
Your charts don't include
infrastructure costs.
469
00:21:46,614 --> 00:21:48,723
And besides, what
matters most is income.
470
00:21:48,724 --> 00:21:50,667
With surgeons who
bill $80 million a year
471
00:21:50,668 --> 00:21:51,979
and do TV interviews.
472
00:21:51,980 --> 00:21:54,379
What benefits the bottom
line benefits everyone.
473
00:21:54,380 --> 00:21:57,090
So now it's profit and
publicity over patients.
474
00:21:57,091 --> 00:21:59,325
You forget yourself. I
care as much as you do
475
00:21:59,326 --> 00:22:00,388
about our patients.
476
00:22:00,389 --> 00:22:02,536
Everything I do, including publicity,
477
00:22:02,537 --> 00:22:04,239
is for profits and patients,
478
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,223
because you can't have
one without the other.
479
00:22:07,161 --> 00:22:09,424
And by the way, I don't
owe you an explanation.
480
00:22:19,355 --> 00:22:20,888
These are all 3-D printed
481
00:22:20,889 --> 00:22:22,424
exact replicas of Dawn's anatomy.
482
00:22:22,425 --> 00:22:25,368
I downloaded all the
data from Dawn's 2-D scans
483
00:22:25,369 --> 00:22:26,975
and images into the computer,
484
00:22:26,976 --> 00:22:28,887
then the brain machine combines
485
00:22:28,888 --> 00:22:30,579
all that information and prints it out.
486
00:22:30,580 --> 00:22:33,100
And these tiny little
bumps on the kidneys...
487
00:22:33,869 --> 00:22:34,919
Are tumors.
488
00:22:37,256 --> 00:22:38,665
I only see three or so,
489
00:22:38,666 --> 00:22:41,367
but I feel at least seven more.
490
00:22:41,368 --> 00:22:44,946
It's part of the reason this
surgery is so complicated.
491
00:22:44,947 --> 00:22:48,238
We'll wear gloves and feel
for tumors, inch by inch,
492
00:22:48,239 --> 00:22:50,251
through the entire abdominal cavity.
493
00:22:50,252 --> 00:22:53,146
It'll take hours and
there is no room for error.
494
00:22:53,147 --> 00:22:54,898
Which is why you're practicing.
495
00:22:54,899 --> 00:22:57,475
Over and over.
496
00:22:57,476 --> 00:23:00,836
This is my third go and I
still haven't managed to remove
497
00:23:00,837 --> 00:23:03,034
the vertebral body without compromising
498
00:23:03,035 --> 00:23:06,400
the iliac artery, which is
plastered to it by the tumor.
499
00:23:06,974 --> 00:23:10,438
"Fake Dawn" has bled out every time.
500
00:23:10,439 --> 00:23:11,639
Come on, Pravesh.
501
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,374
Spread the cavity.
502
00:23:15,535 --> 00:23:16,644
If the corpectomy
503
00:23:16,645 --> 00:23:19,422
is causing problems, should we
get Cain in here to rehearse?
504
00:23:19,423 --> 00:23:21,983
He thinks it's unnecessary.
505
00:23:21,984 --> 00:23:24,486
Bell didn't RSVP either.
506
00:23:24,487 --> 00:23:27,805
And believe me, this is not a
surgery that can be improvised.
507
00:23:41,362 --> 00:23:42,562
You like that car?
508
00:23:42,563 --> 00:23:44,731
It's hideous.
509
00:23:44,732 --> 00:23:46,599
I designed it.
510
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,403
Frame-off restoration
built with these hands.
511
00:23:50,404 --> 00:23:52,905
It's my passion.
512
00:23:52,906 --> 00:23:54,782
It's what keeps me honest.
513
00:23:54,783 --> 00:23:56,650
Does it?
514
00:23:56,651 --> 00:23:58,221
That's funny, because you certainly
515
00:23:58,222 --> 00:23:59,713
didn't keep it honest with me.
516
00:23:59,714 --> 00:24:01,655
You knew you weren't
dying, neither am I.
517
00:24:01,656 --> 00:24:05,702
There is no alpha-1 deficiency
here, so I'm good, yo.
518
00:24:07,955 --> 00:24:09,756
Well, that's what you
wanted to hear, right?
519
00:24:09,757 --> 00:24:12,033
You wanted to know if I was
perfectly healthy, right?
520
00:24:12,034 --> 00:24:15,653
Well, yes, of course, but I thought...
521
00:24:15,654 --> 00:24:16,937
You thought what, Lamar?
522
00:24:18,799 --> 00:24:21,318
If you are my son...
523
00:24:21,319 --> 00:24:23,770
that the odds were you
would carry the gene.
524
00:24:23,771 --> 00:24:25,487
If?
525
00:24:30,719 --> 00:24:32,829
Wow, you don't know.
526
00:24:32,830 --> 00:24:35,147
That's why you came.
527
00:24:35,148 --> 00:24:36,783
What, you thought maybe Bio-Mom
528
00:24:36,784 --> 00:24:38,584
was sleeping around
when she got pregnant?
529
00:24:38,585 --> 00:24:39,985
Is that why you gave me away?
530
00:24:39,986 --> 00:24:41,496
Because you thought I
wasn't yours to begin with?
531
00:24:41,497 --> 00:24:42,863
I may not have raised you,
532
00:24:42,864 --> 00:24:45,383
but I'm not gonna stand here
and have you disrespect me.
533
00:24:45,384 --> 00:24:46,793
Well, then you sit your ass down,
534
00:24:46,794 --> 00:24:48,069
or you get the hell out of here.
535
00:24:48,070 --> 00:24:50,309
This is my house, Lamar.
You do not dictate
536
00:24:50,310 --> 00:24:52,814
to me how I speak to someone
I have no respect for.
537
00:24:52,815 --> 00:24:55,243
We were young. It was the '70s.
538
00:24:55,244 --> 00:24:58,188
And yes, there is a possibility
that you aren't mine.
539
00:24:58,189 --> 00:25:01,524
It sickens me to say
that all I have to do
540
00:25:01,525 --> 00:25:04,009
is look at you...
541
00:25:04,010 --> 00:25:06,070
and know who my father is.
542
00:25:07,623 --> 00:25:10,532
A proper DNA test will prove it.
543
00:25:13,079 --> 00:25:14,987
I can't change what we did.
544
00:25:14,988 --> 00:25:16,856
And apologizing
545
00:25:16,857 --> 00:25:18,899
- is not gonna make any...
- When did you apologize?!
546
00:25:18,900 --> 00:25:21,210
Let me speak!
547
00:25:22,571 --> 00:25:25,498
I wish we could go back
and make things right.
548
00:25:25,499 --> 00:25:28,853
It's something that eats at
your mother and me every day.
549
00:25:28,854 --> 00:25:31,212
That's why my marriage is in shambles.
550
00:25:31,213 --> 00:25:34,282
- And my life is on the verge of imploding.
- Your life?
551
00:25:34,283 --> 00:25:36,618
Man, think about who
you're talking to right now.
552
00:25:36,619 --> 00:25:39,420
Do you think I give a rat's
ass about your struggles?
553
00:25:39,421 --> 00:25:42,624
Is that what you really want
to talk to me about right now?
554
00:25:42,625 --> 00:25:46,069
- You want to speak? Answer me!
- I can't...
555
00:25:46,070 --> 00:25:50,022
S-Something ain't right.
556
00:25:50,023 --> 00:25:52,575
Hey, hey! I need some help over here!
557
00:25:52,576 --> 00:25:54,935
Watch his head.
558
00:25:54,936 --> 00:25:56,536
Put him down gently.
Let him down gently.
559
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,360
I'll get a gurney.
560
00:26:06,424 --> 00:26:07,424
Good news.
561
00:26:07,425 --> 00:26:10,093
No sign of cancer on your ovaries.
562
00:26:10,094 --> 00:26:13,087
- I wasn't worried.
- I was.
563
00:26:13,088 --> 00:26:15,515
And I know I worry too much,
but it's only because...
564
00:26:15,516 --> 00:26:17,325
You love me. I get it.
565
00:26:17,326 --> 00:26:19,936
But I'm okay.
566
00:26:19,937 --> 00:26:21,994
You can relax now.
567
00:26:21,995 --> 00:26:25,407
Especially knowing that
there is a silver lining
568
00:26:25,408 --> 00:26:27,059
to all of this.
569
00:26:27,060 --> 00:26:28,611
Since you implanted your embryos,
570
00:26:28,612 --> 00:26:31,817
you were able to test them
for the BRCA gene mutation
571
00:26:31,818 --> 00:26:33,449
and select one without it.
572
00:26:36,737 --> 00:26:41,811
You did... select an embryo
that didn't carry the mutation?
573
00:26:43,649 --> 00:26:45,319
Oh, no. Please...
574
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,047
Uh, what I've done is my decision, Mina.
575
00:26:48,048 --> 00:26:49,132
This is my life.
576
00:26:49,133 --> 00:26:50,616
It's not only yours, Adaku.
577
00:26:50,617 --> 00:26:52,764
It's also the life of your child.
578
00:26:52,765 --> 00:26:55,120
This awful disease killed
your mother and your sisters.
579
00:26:55,121 --> 00:26:56,906
With one test, you could have
protected your child from it.
580
00:26:56,907 --> 00:26:58,382
I will not play God.
581
00:26:58,383 --> 00:27:01,421
God answered my prayers. He delivered me
582
00:27:01,422 --> 00:27:04,764
- from breast cancer.
- I got you through breast cancer.
583
00:27:04,765 --> 00:27:07,424
I brought my mother from Nigeria
to come and operate on you.
584
00:27:07,425 --> 00:27:09,158
And I am so grateful.
585
00:27:09,159 --> 00:27:11,569
But I also see God's hand in that.
586
00:27:12,577 --> 00:27:14,716
Then why not see his
hand in genetic testing?
587
00:27:14,717 --> 00:27:17,160
Science froze your embryos,
medicine got you pregnant.
588
00:27:17,161 --> 00:27:19,053
Without doctors, you would have no baby.
589
00:27:19,054 --> 00:27:20,747
You wanted me to get an oophorectomy.
590
00:27:20,748 --> 00:27:23,225
If I followed your advice,
I'd have no baby.
591
00:27:23,226 --> 00:27:25,025
And now, all you're doing is,
592
00:27:25,026 --> 00:27:26,836
is judging me, trying to control me.
593
00:27:26,837 --> 00:27:29,196
I am doing all of this to help you.
594
00:27:29,197 --> 00:27:31,357
Can't you see I don't
want your help, Mina.
595
00:27:36,329 --> 00:27:37,680
I have to go.
596
00:27:37,681 --> 00:27:40,350
It's an emergency. Somebody
who does need my help.
597
00:27:40,351 --> 00:27:41,725
We will pick this up later.
598
00:27:43,357 --> 00:27:44,687
I think it's better if we don't.
599
00:27:44,688 --> 00:27:46,414
This is all...
600
00:27:46,415 --> 00:27:49,083
it's too much for me, Mina.
601
00:27:49,084 --> 00:27:50,317
Goodbye.
602
00:28:07,360 --> 00:28:08,402
What's this?
603
00:28:08,403 --> 00:28:11,134
Oh, this is Dawn's spinal column,
604
00:28:11,135 --> 00:28:13,925
with the tumor adhesions
that make it impossible
605
00:28:13,926 --> 00:28:16,335
to remove the cancer
without killing the patient.
606
00:28:16,336 --> 00:28:18,042
Something you would know
607
00:28:18,043 --> 00:28:21,048
had you bothered to attend
even one of my rehearsals.
608
00:28:21,049 --> 00:28:24,727
Your energy and your tone aside,
609
00:28:24,728 --> 00:28:26,232
I admire you, Dr. Voss.
610
00:28:26,233 --> 00:28:28,231
Your compulsive need to practice,
611
00:28:28,232 --> 00:28:29,781
it speaks to an obsession
612
00:28:29,782 --> 00:28:33,047
with the precise anatomy of the disease.
613
00:28:33,048 --> 00:28:35,020
And I get it. I get it,
614
00:28:35,021 --> 00:28:36,239
because the better you know your enemy
615
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,800
before you meet face-to-face
on the battlefield...
616
00:28:38,801 --> 00:28:40,359
the better chance you have of victory.
617
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:44,271
Oh, you do realize her
seven children are out there
618
00:28:44,272 --> 00:28:46,797
praying to God that this surgery works,
619
00:28:46,798 --> 00:28:50,244
having no idea that there
is zero chance for victory.
620
00:28:50,245 --> 00:28:51,904
This surgery will kill her.
621
00:28:51,905 --> 00:28:54,257
I used to be just like
you before I realized that
622
00:28:54,258 --> 00:28:57,334
all plans go out the
window when the war begins.
623
00:28:58,420 --> 00:29:01,680
Sounds like an excuse not to prepare.
624
00:29:05,311 --> 00:29:08,295
I get my head right with
my own pre-op ritual,
625
00:29:08,296 --> 00:29:12,257
in which you... are
currently interrupting.
626
00:29:12,258 --> 00:29:15,445
So if you'll excuse yourself,
I'd like to get back to it,
627
00:29:15,446 --> 00:29:19,173
because Malia, Timmy, Dani,
Tunde, Katie, Rosa and Arjun
628
00:29:19,174 --> 00:29:20,783
are all counting on me...
629
00:29:20,784 --> 00:29:23,228
not God, but me...
630
00:29:24,955 --> 00:29:29,249
to bring my A game and
save their mother's life.
631
00:29:47,278 --> 00:29:48,386
Hey.
632
00:29:48,387 --> 00:29:51,672
Verdict on your bio-father?
633
00:29:51,673 --> 00:29:54,709
Recent cath showed
triple vessel disease.
634
00:29:54,710 --> 00:29:57,269
And now he has diffuse ischemic changes.
635
00:29:57,270 --> 00:29:58,713
Who's doing the bypass?
636
00:29:58,714 --> 00:30:00,882
Sieve and Schoneveld are available.
637
00:30:00,883 --> 00:30:01,941
They're Red Rock guys.
638
00:30:01,942 --> 00:30:03,300
Do we know anything about them?
639
00:30:03,301 --> 00:30:05,578
So far, none of the new
hires are up to snuff.
640
00:30:05,579 --> 00:30:06,913
Forget these Red Rock surgeons.
641
00:30:06,914 --> 00:30:09,056
You should do the surgery.
642
00:30:09,057 --> 00:30:11,167
Lamar is his biological father.
643
00:30:11,168 --> 00:30:12,793
Even more reason to give
him the best surgeon.
644
00:30:12,794 --> 00:30:14,120
Who is one without baggage.
645
00:30:14,121 --> 00:30:15,672
You've told me if I had
646
00:30:15,673 --> 00:30:17,489
an emotional attachment to a patient,
647
00:30:17,490 --> 00:30:19,363
not to operate. Are you a hypocrite?
648
00:30:19,364 --> 00:30:21,569
Regardless of emotional attachments,
649
00:30:21,570 --> 00:30:23,804
you are his best chance at survival.
650
00:30:28,969 --> 00:30:30,889
I got to get my head on straight.
651
00:30:33,357 --> 00:30:35,607
Get all the emotion out of this.
652
00:30:46,445 --> 00:30:50,598
You got bad news written
all over your face.
653
00:30:50,599 --> 00:30:53,543
Now what could be worse
than three clogged arteries?
654
00:30:53,544 --> 00:30:56,587
The decision I have to make
in the next ten minutes.
655
00:30:56,588 --> 00:30:59,941
I am the right surgeon
to fix your heart,
656
00:30:59,942 --> 00:31:02,944
but you are not just any patient.
657
00:31:02,945 --> 00:31:06,464
Who you are and what transpired
between us plays in my mind
658
00:31:06,465 --> 00:31:09,558
and very well could infect these hands.
659
00:31:13,421 --> 00:31:16,315
I am an overachiever.
660
00:31:16,316 --> 00:31:20,236
Gifted with a competitive
nature and a need to excel
661
00:31:20,237 --> 00:31:22,405
from as young as I can remember.
662
00:31:22,406 --> 00:31:24,407
I collected academic awards
663
00:31:24,408 --> 00:31:26,558
like other kids
collected baseball cards.
664
00:31:26,559 --> 00:31:29,412
Spelling bee, debate team,
Eagle Scout, aikido...
665
00:31:29,413 --> 00:31:31,806
you name it, I mastered it.
666
00:31:31,807 --> 00:31:34,575
I had an addiction.
667
00:31:34,576 --> 00:31:39,330
This deep-rooted need to conquer all.
668
00:31:39,331 --> 00:31:42,817
You see, there's this tiny voice
669
00:31:42,818 --> 00:31:47,171
deep inside of me that
cannot be silenced,
670
00:31:47,172 --> 00:31:51,325
who always thought, "Maybe...
671
00:31:51,326 --> 00:31:53,886
maybe if they knew you were special,
672
00:31:53,887 --> 00:31:57,631
that... that maybe...
673
00:31:57,632 --> 00:32:00,817
Mom and Dad would come
knocking on that front door."
674
00:32:02,671 --> 00:32:05,781
Realize what they gave away.
675
00:32:07,676 --> 00:32:11,661
And that I was something
worth fighting to get back.
676
00:32:17,352 --> 00:32:19,669
You most certainly are.
677
00:32:29,256 --> 00:32:31,515
I'll see you in the OR.
678
00:32:48,879 --> 00:32:50,603
It's been over eight hours.
679
00:32:50,604 --> 00:32:52,328
Whose playlist is up next?
680
00:32:52,329 --> 00:32:53,888
Sound of the drill works for me.
681
00:32:53,889 --> 00:32:56,729
Once we're finished, Cain can work.
682
00:32:56,730 --> 00:32:58,447
Then we still have to do the chemo bath.
683
00:32:58,448 --> 00:33:01,003
If she's under anesthesia
too much longer,
684
00:33:01,004 --> 00:33:02,546
she'll never wake up.
685
00:33:12,707 --> 00:33:15,467
This tumor's eroded
through the bone entirely.
686
00:33:15,468 --> 00:33:17,303
I've dissected as much as I can
687
00:33:17,304 --> 00:33:19,413
off the iliac and lumbosacral plexus,
688
00:33:19,414 --> 00:33:21,473
but the arterial wall
has been compromised.
689
00:33:21,474 --> 00:33:23,550
Time to pull.
690
00:33:23,551 --> 00:33:25,652
Slow and steady.
691
00:33:27,192 --> 00:33:29,034
One moment.
692
00:33:49,386 --> 00:33:51,928
Got it.
693
00:33:53,056 --> 00:33:54,724
Deep breath worked the magic?
694
00:33:54,725 --> 00:33:58,552
Picturing her kids watching
me, hopeful. That's the magic.
695
00:33:58,553 --> 00:34:00,774
You ready for me yet?
696
00:34:00,775 --> 00:34:03,176
- All yours, Dr. Cain.
- It's about time.
697
00:34:03,177 --> 00:34:04,758
Get the microscope in place.
698
00:34:04,759 --> 00:34:07,536
I need somatosensory and
motor EPs on the screen.
699
00:34:07,537 --> 00:34:09,613
Foot and a half from
lead position. Eye level.
700
00:34:12,290 --> 00:34:13,739
A little room.
701
00:34:13,740 --> 00:34:15,874
We're gonna double-check
everything in the abdomen
702
00:34:15,875 --> 00:34:17,413
once you've finished to
make sure we've got it.
703
00:34:17,414 --> 00:34:18,447
How much longer?
704
00:34:18,448 --> 00:34:20,808
- Two more hours?
- Nope. Won't take that long.
705
00:34:20,809 --> 00:34:23,382
I need some curettes, couple of sutures,
706
00:34:23,383 --> 00:34:24,979
and some Megadeth on the jukebox.
707
00:34:24,980 --> 00:34:28,540
Spine surgeries beg
for headbanging tunes.
708
00:34:28,541 --> 00:34:29,950
Is that irony?
709
00:34:37,935 --> 00:34:41,962
Dissecting the tumor off the dural sac.
710
00:34:41,963 --> 00:34:44,106
Gonna need you to put some pressure
711
00:34:44,107 --> 00:34:46,333
right there, Dr. Voss.
712
00:34:46,334 --> 00:34:48,836
I know heavy equipment is Ortho's thing,
713
00:34:48,837 --> 00:34:52,114
but you're here on the
delicate side, so be gentle.
714
00:34:54,326 --> 00:34:55,785
♪ She had to know... ♪
715
00:34:55,786 --> 00:34:57,269
That's it. Onc intern,
716
00:34:57,270 --> 00:34:58,812
get that chemo bath ready.
717
00:34:58,813 --> 00:35:01,182
You're gonna need it a lot
sooner than these guys thought.
718
00:35:07,689 --> 00:35:11,276
- So how did it go?
- I'm fine, yo.
719
00:35:12,752 --> 00:35:14,594
I don't believe you.
720
00:35:16,682 --> 00:35:19,166
Well, I'm fine enough to do the surgery.
721
00:35:19,167 --> 00:35:21,626
But even if I'm wrong,
722
00:35:21,627 --> 00:35:23,503
you'll be there,
723
00:35:23,504 --> 00:35:27,433
and I know I can always count on you,
724
00:35:27,434 --> 00:35:29,056
my partner.
725
00:35:48,181 --> 00:35:49,977
I know everyone at Chastain
726
00:35:49,978 --> 00:35:53,867
did everything they could
to give my mom every chance,
727
00:35:53,868 --> 00:35:57,037
and I just want to thank you guys.
728
00:35:57,038 --> 00:35:59,964
Can you tell us how Dawn
is doing after surgery?
729
00:35:59,965 --> 00:36:01,756
Well, the hours that we spent preparing
730
00:36:01,757 --> 00:36:03,420
for the surgery have paid dividends.
731
00:36:03,421 --> 00:36:06,522
Still, Dawn has endured
17 hours of surgery.
732
00:36:06,523 --> 00:36:08,682
Her body is struggling to recover.
733
00:36:08,683 --> 00:36:10,601
She hasn't regained
consciousness and as yet,
734
00:36:10,602 --> 00:36:12,086
isn't able to breathe on her own.
735
00:36:12,087 --> 00:36:13,883
When is she gonna wake up?
736
00:36:13,884 --> 00:36:16,364
While we don't know for
certain, we're very optimistic.
737
00:36:17,345 --> 00:36:19,910
And, Dr. Cain, I just want
to thank you for giving
738
00:36:19,911 --> 00:36:21,620
my family hope when no one else would.
739
00:36:30,881 --> 00:36:34,166
We may be witnessing a
medical miracle in progress.
740
00:36:34,167 --> 00:36:36,114
Let's all pray for Dawn
741
00:36:36,115 --> 00:36:38,946
and give our gratitude to
this amazing team of doctors
742
00:36:38,947 --> 00:36:40,614
still fighting to save her.
743
00:36:40,615 --> 00:36:42,432
We'll be following
Dawn and Malia's story
744
00:36:42,433 --> 00:36:43,941
over the next few weeks.
745
00:36:43,942 --> 00:36:46,787
It's families like this,
bonding together in crisis,
746
00:36:46,788 --> 00:36:48,731
that inspire us all.
747
00:36:48,732 --> 00:36:50,624
You crashed here last night?
748
00:36:50,625 --> 00:36:53,277
Yeah. Surgery was long.
749
00:36:53,278 --> 00:36:55,977
My "Mother of All Surgeries"
patient was just on TV,
750
00:36:55,978 --> 00:36:57,740
and I wanted to catch
it before heading home.
751
00:36:57,741 --> 00:36:59,800
Barely made it out of surgery.
752
00:36:59,801 --> 00:37:02,078
They're calling it a success.
753
00:37:02,079 --> 00:37:05,289
Well, family's still together.
754
00:37:05,290 --> 00:37:07,248
Maybe that's enough, right?
755
00:37:11,313 --> 00:37:13,814
I don't know, man.
756
00:37:13,815 --> 00:37:15,424
You know, my first day at Chastain,
757
00:37:15,425 --> 00:37:17,176
I was planning on going into oncology.
758
00:37:17,177 --> 00:37:20,654
Mm, but then the infamous
Lane Hunter came along.
759
00:37:20,655 --> 00:37:22,756
Well, she was an anomaly.
760
00:37:22,757 --> 00:37:25,101
Criminal, psychopath.
761
00:37:25,102 --> 00:37:27,603
I mean, the majority of oncologists
762
00:37:27,604 --> 00:37:30,655
are caring people
dedicated to saving lives.
763
00:37:30,656 --> 00:37:33,651
When the treatment cures the
patient, that's one thing,
764
00:37:33,652 --> 00:37:36,061
but what may help one patient
765
00:37:36,062 --> 00:37:38,989
will harm or even kill another,
often without any benefit.
766
00:37:38,990 --> 00:37:41,342
It's impossible to know
where your patient will fall
767
00:37:41,343 --> 00:37:43,285
on that spectrum before
you start treating them.
768
00:37:43,286 --> 00:37:45,179
That's why, sometimes,
I miss being a medic
769
00:37:45,180 --> 00:37:48,791
with the patrol units downrange.
That job was clear.
770
00:37:48,792 --> 00:37:51,961
We could be proud of what we
did every day. No gray areas.
771
00:37:51,962 --> 00:37:53,878
But...
772
00:37:55,615 --> 00:37:56,841
... all this
773
00:37:56,842 --> 00:37:58,865
corporatized medicine,
profit over patients,
774
00:37:58,866 --> 00:38:01,195
I guess I just look at it as a
different kind of battlefield.
775
00:38:01,196 --> 00:38:03,722
One where we need to keep showing up,
776
00:38:03,723 --> 00:38:06,049
keep fighting, keep making a difference.
777
00:38:06,050 --> 00:38:08,644
No matter what the odds are against us.
778
00:38:08,645 --> 00:38:11,372
Yeah.
779
00:38:11,373 --> 00:38:12,939
Yeah.
780
00:38:24,485 --> 00:38:26,220
Big-time oncologist
781
00:38:26,221 --> 00:38:28,889
just couldn't stay away, huh?
782
00:38:28,890 --> 00:38:32,008
My toe! Oh, my God, I need a doctor!
783
00:38:32,009 --> 00:38:34,285
Looks like things got
out of control without me.
784
00:38:34,286 --> 00:38:37,187
Bed 4, perfect for you.
785
00:38:37,188 --> 00:38:40,367
You'll want a wardrobe
change and some gloves.
786
00:38:40,368 --> 00:38:41,627
What's the bullet?
787
00:38:41,628 --> 00:38:43,721
Patient's been stopped up for weeks.
788
00:38:43,722 --> 00:38:45,805
Disimpaction time.
789
00:38:47,350 --> 00:38:48,684
I'm on it.
790
00:38:48,685 --> 00:38:51,686
Watch out, she's a biter.
791
00:38:57,534 --> 00:38:59,867
I can never thank you enough. Thank you.
792
00:38:59,868 --> 00:39:02,356
Oh, you're more than welcome.
793
00:39:02,357 --> 00:39:04,200
Seriously, people need to know about it.
794
00:39:04,201 --> 00:39:08,095
- Just excuse me for a second.
- Yeah.
795
00:39:08,096 --> 00:39:10,155
I am so impressed with
what you guys are doing here.
796
00:39:10,156 --> 00:39:11,782
I'm telling you, the world
needs to know about this.
797
00:39:11,783 --> 00:39:13,658
Well, thank you so
much. I appreciate it.
798
00:39:13,659 --> 00:39:15,125
Especially at a time right now where...
799
00:39:15,126 --> 00:39:16,328
Dr. Bell.
800
00:39:16,329 --> 00:39:18,562
Nurse Nevin has been
telling me about the clinic.
801
00:39:18,563 --> 00:39:20,832
I was just saying how invested you are
802
00:39:20,833 --> 00:39:22,668
in our service to the uninsured.
803
00:39:22,669 --> 00:39:24,302
How you care about all of our patients,
804
00:39:24,303 --> 00:39:25,957
not just the big newsworthy cases.
805
00:39:25,958 --> 00:39:27,386
I'm telling you, Dr. Bell,
806
00:39:27,387 --> 00:39:29,950
- he's one of the good ones.
- Well, as a nonprofit,
807
00:39:29,951 --> 00:39:33,129
charity work is an essential
part of Chastain's mission.
808
00:39:33,130 --> 00:39:34,737
You know, I can see the segment now:
809
00:39:34,738 --> 00:39:38,442
"World-renowned surgeon makes
time for the disadvantaged."
810
00:39:38,443 --> 00:39:39,484
You in?
811
00:39:40,907 --> 00:39:42,449
- Just say when.
- Come on now.
812
00:39:42,450 --> 00:39:43,722
Thank you, sir.
813
00:39:43,723 --> 00:39:44,823
- And thank you.
- Thank you.
814
00:39:44,824 --> 00:39:46,041
Yes, ma'am.
815
00:39:48,578 --> 00:39:49,695
Let's go.
816
00:39:49,696 --> 00:39:51,838
Neat trick.
817
00:39:51,839 --> 00:39:53,873
It won't work again.
818
00:40:02,650 --> 00:40:06,428
I made this for the baby.
819
00:40:06,429 --> 00:40:07,988
Is this your apology?
820
00:40:07,989 --> 00:40:10,957
I can't apologize for wishing
you'd done genetic testing,
821
00:40:10,958 --> 00:40:12,986
but it is your choice,
822
00:40:12,987 --> 00:40:15,812
and I am sorry I did not respect that.
823
00:40:17,190 --> 00:40:18,691
Thank you.
824
00:40:18,692 --> 00:40:20,962
Come in. I'm filling
out my baby registry.
825
00:40:20,963 --> 00:40:22,611
Do you think I need a baby bouncy?
826
00:40:22,612 --> 00:40:24,339
I have no idea what that is.
827
00:40:24,340 --> 00:40:27,007
Me either, but we can
figure it out together, yes?
828
00:40:27,008 --> 00:40:30,777
Sounds awful, but I can't think
of anything else I'd rather do.
829
00:40:30,778 --> 00:40:31,945
Aw.
830
00:40:31,946 --> 00:40:35,615
On three. One, two,
831
00:40:35,616 --> 00:40:38,285
three.
832
00:40:40,621 --> 00:40:42,689
What?
833
00:40:42,690 --> 00:40:44,383
How did you get this place?
834
00:40:44,384 --> 00:40:47,260
Dumb luck or karma. It just
came back on the market.
835
00:40:52,091 --> 00:40:56,428
Whatever it is, I'm so
happy we're here now.
836
00:40:56,429 --> 00:40:59,172
Ah.
837
00:40:59,173 --> 00:41:01,150
When you brought me here the first time,
838
00:41:01,151 --> 00:41:03,477
it's just I had so much
going on, you know?
839
00:41:03,478 --> 00:41:04,878
And you still do,
840
00:41:06,037 --> 00:41:08,115
but we will get through it all together.
841
00:41:08,116 --> 00:41:09,158
I know.
842
00:41:11,161 --> 00:41:14,388
Are you sure right now is the
right time to make this move?
843
00:41:14,389 --> 00:41:17,224
I've never been so sure.
844
00:41:24,716 --> 00:41:27,626
- I love you.
- I love you, too.
845
00:41:27,627 --> 00:41:29,736
And I love this house.
846
00:41:29,737 --> 00:41:32,872
Well, get ready to love it more.
847
00:41:35,635 --> 00:41:37,019
Ta-da!
848
00:41:37,020 --> 00:41:40,138
Oh, my God!
849
00:41:40,139 --> 00:41:44,851
- We have chickens.
- Oh!
850
00:41:44,852 --> 00:41:46,986
Wow!
851
00:41:55,896 --> 00:41:59,562
Engine still purring
like a '69 Firebird?
852
00:42:01,452 --> 00:42:03,437
Incision is healing well.
853
00:42:03,438 --> 00:42:05,572
Your heart function and rhythm sounds
854
00:42:05,573 --> 00:42:07,198
within normal range.
855
00:42:07,199 --> 00:42:09,943
Your cardiologist can
manage your recovery.
856
00:42:09,944 --> 00:42:12,212
- Good luck.
- Wait.
857
00:42:13,673 --> 00:42:15,525
Don't go. Please.
858
00:42:17,218 --> 00:42:20,387
My mind and mouth move at the same time.
859
00:42:20,388 --> 00:42:23,790
I act before I think
things through all the way.
860
00:42:23,791 --> 00:42:27,853
Character flaw. I'm working on it.
861
00:42:27,854 --> 00:42:29,762
I did what I did
862
00:42:29,763 --> 00:42:32,557
and I want to do better.
863
00:42:32,558 --> 00:42:35,243
If you can't forgive, I
have to live with that.
864
00:42:37,104 --> 00:42:40,307
But my wife, your mother,
865
00:42:41,466 --> 00:42:44,569
is better than me in every way.
866
00:42:44,570 --> 00:42:47,414
She never would've messed
things up the way I did.
867
00:42:49,984 --> 00:42:51,719
I wouldn't know.
868
00:42:53,671 --> 00:42:56,490
My hope is that you'll reach out to her,
869
00:42:56,491 --> 00:42:58,016
when you're ready.
870
00:42:58,017 --> 00:43:01,687
She's truly special,
871
00:43:01,688 --> 00:43:04,188
like you.
872
00:43:09,112 --> 00:43:10,946
Goodbye, Lamar.
873
00:43:27,464 --> 00:43:35,464
