00:00I'm Ali Palmer. Dr. Gibson appointed me your doctor.
00:05Hello, I'm Bajani Sisoko. You can call me John, yeah?
00:08This is my father, Bajani.
00:10Baba, Dr. Nyiling.
00:14Oh, mami?
00:16Otami?
00:18See, my father, I just moved my parents from Africa recently.
00:22My father does not speak the language at all.
00:24He's a little bit old-fashioned, you know, so to speak.
00:27That's all right. We'll handle it.
00:29I have a question. If you call me, will it be bad?
00:33See, my father thinks there's an evil spirit living inside of him that needs to be pleased.
00:40Then he can be the way he used to.
00:43You see, he doesn't believe in any doctor. I warn you.
00:47We'll find for him the right approach. I promise.
00:52Hello, Mr. Sisoko. I'm Dr. David Gibson.
00:55I've got your test results here for your father.
00:58Unfortunately, he's got a tumor in his stomach, and it's malignant. It's quite large.
01:04Don't worry. Don't worry. Your father is under medical supervision.
01:10Are you sure you can cure him, right? You can?
01:12Mr. Sisoko, we've got an outstanding oncology department in this hospital.
01:17It's one of the best in the country. So we'll do our best. You don't worry, okay?
01:21See, it's going to be hard. He believes in only folk's method.
01:25All right. I'll do my best. It's going to be okay. I promise.
01:55What are you doing here? Who let you in here?
01:57Get out, white woman. You cannot interrupt the ritual.
02:01Sir, calm down. It's not good for your nerves. Listen.
02:06I said get out of here before I bring the wrath of our gods upon you.
02:10Get out of here. Otherwise, I'll bring the wrath of our gods upon you.
02:15I'm going to count to three. One.
02:17Okay, okay. I promise you we will meet again.
02:19Because you don't understand. At this point, your medicines cannot help him compared to the powers of a thousand spirits.
02:25I don't think so. Two.
02:37Sir, calm down. How did you call him?
02:39I don't know.
02:47Got it. Listen, I'm glad that you've learned how to use technology.
02:52But now you need some rest. It's very important for you. We need to run more tests.
02:58I won't, Yami. Mafi, he's in jail.
03:01Great. Don't call with this thing, okay?
03:09Okay.
03:27So, have you broken the spell yet?
03:28It's not funny. I'm even a little scared of him.
03:32Alright, alright, alright. I'm sorry.
03:34So, what's up with the new test results? Anything?
03:36Dr. Gibson, here we are. Dr. Palmer, you left your iPad at the reception.
03:41The results of Sisoko CT scan are ready.
03:47What's going on? Is it worse than we thought?
03:49I can't believe. It's the tumor. It's just gone. It's disappeared.
03:55What? Let me see. That's impossible.
03:58What? Did you screw up again?
04:00No, no, no. Bangani Sisoko, room 306.
04:04How can a tumor the size of a fist just disappear in one day?
04:07I thought you would know. Just because I started believing in shamans.
04:13Right. You talk to Sisoko. Try to get as much information as possible from him.
04:19And talk to his son.
04:21Right. You talk to Sisoko. Try to get as much information as possible from him.
04:26And talk to his son.
04:27Yeah, I'm gonna put together a concilium.
04:29Maybe somebody out there has seen something like this in the past.
04:32And we can fix this.
04:34Girls, let's do it.
04:43Where is the patient? Who's here?
04:46His son just took him away.
04:50Is something wrong?
04:53Mrs. Sisoko, John, you're not supposed to take a patient home without the doctor's permission.
04:58What? I don't know what you're talking about. I came here because I couldn't get him on the phone all day.
05:03Where is my father?
05:07Ask the guards to look at the security cameras.
05:10Wait, wait, wait. What's going on here?
05:13Um, he's missing. But don't freak out. It's on us.
05:19Um, there's a good news as well. His tests are totally fine after this shaman's visit.
05:26Shaman visit?
05:30Kwe, what does this shaman look like again?
05:43What do you want me to call you?
05:59What? Don't, don't, don't, don't. Please.
06:05You cannot interrupt the sacred ritual.
06:07You can't steal people from the hospital.
06:09It's needed by the spirits. This man needs my help.
06:12Okay, listen. I respect your culture and costumes, but this might be a very serious situation.
06:20Okay? It could be too late.
06:25He has cancer.
06:30And if you will not help me, I can't help him.
06:34So, tell him that after your ritual, he should listen to us.
06:40And if we can't help him, I'll be the first who'll come for your help.
06:49Okay. So shall it be.
07:03Dide, call Malo.
07:10Look at me.
07:14Okay, okay. We should go.
07:24Um, how is he?
07:26Yeah, good, good. We ran some tests and gave him some painkillers, so he should sleep through the night.
07:33Thank you, thank you.
07:34It's too early for thank yous. He's not fully recovered yet.
07:40For as long as I can remember, yeah, my dad loved to be cured by, you know, folk remedies, you know.
07:45I thought it was going to end someday, but it got worse. Over the years, it got worse.
07:48Just recently, to cure a regular sore throat, he ate soy.
07:53Soy?
07:54Can you imagine?
07:55What?
07:56We got the soy sent to him from Africa, from a small village called Mbaleto.
08:00Hang on, hang on a second. What did you say?
08:05Come on, Mbaleto is a small place where we all grew up in, right?
08:08No, no, no, no, no. He ate soy? What, was that recently or when?
08:11Oh, yeah. Not too long ago, a couple of months back, you know.
08:16Okay, and what, his headaches and the pain in his stomach, it's gotten worse in the last month or so, right?
08:21That's right.
08:22But why?
08:24I'm not sure.
08:25Molly, call the orderlies, right now. Go!
08:44Yes, that's it!
08:47Rob, Rob, listen. Sissoko, he needs emergency surgery. No, no, no. Right now. Right now. We can get here.
08:56Awesome, awesome. We're going to prep him right away. Thanks, man.
09:00Okay, now, share what's going on in his head.
09:02Sissoko has a tapeworm. It's bacteria. They live in the ground.
09:07And he must have picked one up by eating soil.
09:10By treating himself this way, his entire life, his immune system was compromised.
09:15And since he was weakened, the parasite, the parasite, it got bigger and bigger so quickly that we thought it was a tumor.
09:23That's why the repeat CT scan couldn't find the tumor in his stomach. That's because...
09:28Because the worm moved. It went from somewhere in the stomach into the intestines.
09:33That's because...
09:34Because the worm moved. It went from somewhere in the stomach into the intestines.
09:39But wait, why did we find the cancer indicators in his lab?
09:44It's because the cancer indicators are not for the host, but for the parasite.
09:49This whole time the worm had cancer and not Sissoko.
09:53So, if we get this creature out of Bengani, Sissoko will cure him.
09:57Yes, and we got to get it out as soon as possible. But Fife, he's on his way.
10:04SISSOKO
10:27It will take more time for him to get back in shape.
10:31Yes, he'll be here as long as it takes.
10:34Could you please translate my words to him?
10:36Of course, of course.
10:41Mr. Sissoko, you are perfectly fine and soon you'll be able to go home.
10:51We found a parasite in your body.
10:56That was taking your life.
10:59Actually, from the inside.
11:04It wasn't an evil spirit or anything, but it was an actual animal.
11:12But we took it out and now you are safe.
11:16Everyone should honor traditions of their people.
11:21But because of your blind trust, your son could have lost his father anytime.
11:29When you feel unwell, you should seek qualified help immediately.
11:36Otherwise, your next mistake could cost your real life.
11:41Your life.
11:50David
11:57And then remember, she turned around and the donkey was in the steps.
12:01Yes.
12:04That was amazing. I will never forget her voice.
12:07She still remembers it for sure.
12:09Hey.
12:10Molly.
12:12How's it going? So, did you talk to his father?
12:15Yeah, I think he's on our side.
12:17Nice.
12:18Oh, David, come on. I always knew you're an amazing doctor, but this one takes the cake, man. How did you do that?
12:26Crazy story. Seriously. I was doing a residency in Cairo, I don't know, about ten years ago.
12:32Similar case. I couldn't... I'm shocked I didn't think of it earlier, man.
12:38Wow, look.
12:43Wow.
12:44Yeah.
12:46Doesn't matter.
12:53How many diseases there are, it's still... I think the worst one is cancer.
13:02It's so painful to watch life slowly leaving a person and...
13:10And I...
13:15What? Did I say something wrong?
13:19No.
13:20No?
13:21No, not at all.
13:22No?
13:23No, no, no. I think you're absolutely right. You're absolutely right. Cancer, it's...
13:27Cancer is a horrible disease.
13:29Yep.
13:30It's a killer.
13:37Okay.
13:39Okay.
13:42So, I'm glad it ended well.
13:46I'm gonna get some sleep. I shift in two hours. So, see you.
13:52You do that. Great job.
13:55Yeah.
13:57I haven't said anything to her yet.
13:59What am I supposed to say? Huh?
14:02It's my daughter.
14:03Cancer.
14:04It'll kill her, man.
