00:09:44i need to wet these back
00:09:45how's he doing
00:09:50stable and ruby
00:09:53can you check if we have some four o's on the table
00:09:58it's greenway
00:10:03what do you got
00:10:10gunshot to the left parietal
00:10:12exit
00:10:13it didn't
00:10:14what was this condition when they brought him in
00:10:17his left pupil was dilating
00:10:19did you get an x-ray
00:10:22ct scan
00:10:23what are you going to do with this bullet remove it or leave it in
00:10:34you can die while you make up your mind doctor
00:10:39all you have to do is move a little bit slower
00:10:42you won't kill him but you won't save him either
00:10:44what are you going to do
00:10:47leave it in
00:10:50why there's a very high incidence of sagittal sinus thrombosis
00:10:53if the sinus cuts off he'll die
00:10:55if i remove it he could bleed to death
00:10:58yes
00:11:00i don't know if the bullets in the sinus are just plugging the die
00:11:04it's safe to leave it in
00:11:06it's a matter of judgment

00:18:00She's all right?
00:18:02Well, if you don't count that she's been raped, is in shock, and is barely making sense...
00:18:06I'm very sorry, Dr. Willis.
00:18:13We're all sorry.
00:18:16I was going home, and...
00:18:20And this man offered to walk me to my car.
00:18:26He said that, uh...
00:18:30Well, it was late, and he said it was...
00:18:33It was dangerous.
00:18:36For a woman to be out alone so late.
00:18:41He wore a hospital jacket, and he said he was an x-ray technician here, and I believed him.
00:18:49Parnell. Jonathan Parnelli said his name was.
00:18:52Check the hospital records.
00:18:54He knows he's about to rape a woman. He'd be an idiot to give his real name.
00:18:57Try it anyway.
00:18:59Parnell. Second floor. They'll have it.
00:19:04They'll find him.
00:19:06And then we'll put all this behind us.
00:19:09You take all the time you need at home with your family.
00:19:15I have a young daughter.
00:19:18Then we'll go on.
00:19:20It's not good for you or the hospital to dwell on this.
00:19:23And, of course, we'll give you all the help you need.
00:19:33We'll give you all the help you need.
00:19:39You've got my number.
00:19:40Call me if you need me, honey, okay?
00:19:42Yeah.
00:19:42I'll give you all the help you need.
00:19:43I love you.
00:19:53I love you.
00:20:55Mommy, you got home so late.
00:21:05Very cool.
00:21:07Can I have cereal?
00:21:08I forgot the milk.
00:21:28What happened?
00:21:37I'm all right now, Carrie.
00:21:39Who did that to your face?
00:21:41A patient at the hospital?
00:21:47As I was leaving the hospital, a man I didn't know offered to walk me to my car.
00:21:53He said that it was too dark and dangerous to be out alone.
00:21:56He said that he was an x-ray technician there.
00:21:59So I let him.
00:22:00And then, when we got to my car, he heard me.
00:22:09You let a stranger walk with you?
00:22:13You tell me never to talk to strangers or go anywhere with anybody I didn't know.
00:22:18Look, you tell me that all the time.
00:22:20Yes, I thought that...
00:22:21It was stupid.
00:22:23You're right, Carrie.
00:22:24You're right.
00:22:25I wasn't thinking.
00:22:25Bad things can happen, and you've got to be careful.
00:22:29You weren't careful.
00:22:30I'm all right, though.
00:22:31You're supposed to be smart.
00:22:32You're a doctor, aren't you?
00:22:33How can you be so dumb?
00:22:48Did this look like his hairline?
00:22:52It was dark.
00:22:53I can't...
00:22:55Was he wearing a hat?
00:22:56No.
00:22:57He walked you from the building all the way to the parking lot, didn't he?
00:23:00Yes.
00:23:01You were able to see his face, weren't you?
00:23:03Yes, but it was dark.
00:23:05All right, you told us that, doctor.
00:23:06Now, think for a minute.
00:23:09Try to remember.
00:23:09We got to know what we're looking for.
00:23:13I don't know about his hairline.
00:23:15I really don't know.
00:23:16Hey, what about the color of his hair?
00:23:19How's that?
00:23:31Yes.
00:23:33Something like that, so...
00:23:35Was he thin?
00:23:35What about the face, the cheekbones?
00:23:43He had a...
00:23:43Had a fairly thin face.
00:23:46And the eyes.
00:23:48Far apart.
00:23:48Close set.
00:23:49Wide set.
00:23:49Wide set.
00:23:50Something like this.
00:23:51Doctor.
00:24:13You know, I hardly looked at him.
00:24:15All right, the entrance to the building was well lit, right?
00:24:20Yes.
00:24:21Now, you told us you bumped into him and you had a conversation with the man, right?
00:24:27Am I right?
00:24:28He was average looking.
00:24:32Like a thousand other men.
00:24:34Tell me, aren't doctors trained to be observant?
00:24:37Yes.
00:24:37In the operating room with a patient.
00:24:39I was off duty.
00:24:40I was exhausted.
00:24:41I wanted to get home to my daughter.
00:24:43How many minutes would you say you were in conversation with him?
00:24:45Two?
00:24:45Five?
00:24:46At least two.
00:24:47Do you realize how long two minutes can be, doctor, and you're telling me you don't remember
00:24:50anything about his face?
00:24:51If I knew he was going to rape me, I would have looked closer.
00:24:54Well, maybe you don't want to remember his face.
00:24:55Maybe you're sorry you reported it at all.
00:24:57He had a knife.
00:24:58A man I never met before.
00:25:00Slugged me across the face, pulled a knife on me, and raped me.
00:25:03As God is my witness, if I could have pulled that knife away from him, I would have killed him.
00:25:11I don't think we're going to get any more, Frank.
00:25:15Think about it, doctor.
00:25:16If you can remember anything, call me, okay?
00:25:21Look, doctor, from what we know about rapists, they almost always perform the same way.
00:25:30Is there anything at all you can tell us about what he said or what he did?
00:25:34He just clamped his hand over my mouth and hit me.
00:25:43I fought back and...
00:25:45Well, then he got on top of me and said, gotcha.
00:25:58And then he raped me.
00:25:59Right before he raped you?
00:26:03Yeah.
00:26:04All right, doctor, thank you.
00:26:06And look, if anything else occurs, you give us a call.
00:26:09You better get some counseling.
00:26:10I'm just going to hit you when the shock wears off.
00:26:13I'm going to do your job, I do my.
00:26:14Oh, yeah.
00:26:15Oh, yeah.
00:26:15I'm going to do your job, I do my job, I do my job, I do my job, I do my job, I do my job, I do my job, I do my job, I do my job, I do my job, I do my job, I do my job, I do my job, I do my job, I do my job, I do my job, I do my job, I do my job, I do my job, I do my job, I do my job, I do my job, I do my job, I do my job, I do my job, I do my job, I do my job, I do my job, I do my job, I do my job, I do my job, I do my job, I do my job, I do my job, I do my job, I do my job, I do my job, I do my job, I do my job, I do my job, I do my job, I do my job, I do my job, I do my
00:26:45Gary, didn't you hear me?
00:27:12I wanted you to come get me.
00:27:15I'm right here.
00:27:20Did you go to work today?
00:27:21No, I had to go to the police station and answer some questions.
00:27:25So I can catch the guy?
00:27:26Yes.
00:27:29What if he comes back?
00:27:31Gary, he doesn't know where I live.
00:27:33He doesn't even know my name.
00:27:35The man who hurt me can possibly harm you.
00:27:39You think that's what I'm worried about?
00:27:42Well, I'm not.
00:27:43I'm not worried about that guy.
00:27:45Good.
00:27:45I'm glad.
00:27:49You know, it doesn't have to be the same guy.
00:27:53Something terrible can happen anyway.
00:27:57Something terrible happened to Daddy.
00:27:59And now you.
00:28:00Nothing's going to stop it from happening to me.
00:28:04We don't know that.
00:28:07Gary, I'm never going to let anything hurt you.
00:28:10I promise you that.
00:28:11It doesn't matter.
00:28:13It doesn't matter.
00:28:13Bye, bye, bye.
00:28:23How do you comfort a child who believes the world is made up of catastrophes?
00:28:34When she sees you're all right, she'll get past it.
00:28:39One night about six months ago, I called my husband from the hospital.
00:28:43Told him I'd be late again.
00:28:44That's okay, he said.
00:28:47I'll go get Chinese and keep it warm in the oven.
00:28:52On the way home, a drunk driver hit his car straight on the driver's side.
00:28:58By the time they got him to the hospital, he was dead.
00:29:05Kate, uh, why have you kept all this stuff to yourself?
00:29:09Because I have two more years of residency to finish that I've got to finish.
00:29:13And I have a daughter to raise alone.
00:29:15Ah, I understand.
00:29:18Must have been very tough on Gary, hmm?
00:29:20Yeah, well, at first she thought I chose medicine over her.
00:29:24All the long hours and the time away from home.
00:29:26I tried to explain about the positions people take in life.
00:29:32Things that give meaning to you.
00:29:35But a child doesn't care who else you are.
00:29:38You are their mother, first and always.
00:29:46Just when we were beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel, the accident happened.
00:29:53Been through a hell of a lot, Kate.
00:29:54Yeah, I will not fall apart.
00:29:57I will not.
00:29:58Yes, you will.
00:30:00Is that a prediction?
00:30:02Unless you allow yourself to be human.
00:30:05I can't.
00:30:07There's too much pain.
00:30:09I just can't.
00:30:10Try to get there early.
00:30:19Try to get there early.
00:31:39It's my decision to make.
00:31:47Uh, he was hiding in the backseat of the car and he said he would get me if I screamed. Close enough?
00:31:53No.
00:31:55Oh, Porter, give it up.
00:31:57No.
00:32:00We had another gotcha rapist.
00:32:02And she mentioned to me a ring of bell and it's been driving me crazy ever since.
00:32:07Well, now you're driving me crazy. Satisfied?
00:32:09Well, that just goes along with the territory. I'm just trying to move it along a little.
00:32:13Funny. When you retire, you can play the comedy circuit.
00:32:16Listen to this one.
00:32:18He was very calm about it and he just looked at me as I got out of the shower.
00:32:22And he made me lie down on the tile floor. It was wet and cold.
00:32:25He rolled over on top of me and he said,
00:32:27Gotcha.
00:32:31Ten years ago, hung jury, Brent Allen Stuyvesant.
00:32:34I am out of here.
00:32:48Dr. Miller to radiology.
00:32:51Dr. Miller to radiology.
00:33:01That's him.
00:33:03That's the man who raped you?
00:33:04Yes, he looks younger, but I'm positive it's him.
00:33:08Okay.
00:33:10You'll arrest him?
00:33:11Well, as soon as we find him.
00:33:13I want him in jail today.
00:33:14Okay.
00:33:34I want him.
00:33:44Okay.
00:33:45I want him.
00:33:48Come on.
00:33:53Bye-bye.
00:33:56Bye-bye.
00:33:56Bye-bye.
00:33:57Bye-bye.
00:34:03Iliad.
00:34:33Iliad.
00:34:43Mommy?
00:34:54Mommy?
00:34:57Carrie?
00:35:01What's the matter?
00:35:03I had a bad dream.
00:35:06Wanna climb in with me?
00:35:11I love you, sweetheart.
00:35:23I love you, sweetheart.
00:35:38I love you, sweetheart.
00:35:50Okay.
00:35:51Okay.
00:35:52Okay.
00:35:53Okay.
00:35:54In.
00:35:55Okay.
00:35:56Seatbelts, everybody?
00:36:00Yeah.
00:36:01Okay.
00:36:02Seatbelts, everybody?
00:36:07Okay.
00:36:08Okay.
00:36:10I'll go.
00:36:13Okay.
00:36:14Bye.
00:36:16Okay.
00:36:18Okay.
00:36:20I don't know.
00:36:50I don't know.
00:37:20The bell rings.
00:37:20You come out.
00:37:21You run right in.
00:37:22We'll be home for dinner.
00:37:24Tomorrow night, not tonight.
00:37:26I can do it myself.
00:37:28I'm very self-sufficient.
00:37:29Okay, Miss Self-Sufficient.
00:37:31You lead.
00:37:31I'll follow.
00:37:32School awaits.
00:37:33Thank you, Frances.
00:37:35Here you go.
00:38:06Good morning, sir.
00:38:13Good morning, Brent.
00:38:16Good morning.
00:38:36Good morning, Mr. Stuyvesant's office.
00:38:56One moment, please.
00:38:58May I help you?
00:38:59Mr. Stuyvesant?
00:39:01Do you have an appointment?
00:39:07One moment, I'll tell him you're here.
00:39:17Come in.
00:39:22There's a detective Porter wanting to see you.
00:39:26For me?
00:39:27That's what he said.
00:39:29Okay, well, tell him I'm on the phone.
00:39:32I'll be with him in a minute.
00:39:36I'll be with you.
00:40:06We have a 52-year-old male found comatose.
00:40:32Bloody spinal tap.
00:40:34CT scan found blood in the ventricles.
00:40:37He was admitted early this morning, and his condition is essentially unchanged.
00:40:43The question is, do we operate immediately?
00:40:46Rieger, what do you say?
00:40:48Isn't it an accepted procedure to wait and see if the patient wakes up?
00:40:55You're not asking a question, Dr. Rieger, are you?
00:41:00No.
00:41:01Then state your opinion clearly, without the question mark at the end.
00:41:05You don't know what to do for the patient.
00:41:06No one does.
00:41:11Do you wait 10 days for the basal artery spasm to subside?
00:41:16Do you increase the blood pressure to perfuse better?
00:41:18He's in stage four.
00:41:20Statistics favor waiting.
00:41:22And your patient?
00:41:23The next 48 hours will tell.
00:41:35It's a judgment call, informed by knowledge.
00:41:39Learn your facts, doctors.
00:41:40Come on, come on.
00:42:04Let's go.
00:42:34We've got a 505 westbound I-680.
00:42:40Request assistance.
00:42:52Stay on them.
00:43:04What the hell is he doing?
00:43:12He's trying to warn Eddie.
00:43:13Come here.
00:43:16Hold it!
00:43:27Hold it!
00:43:40Hold it!
00:43:40Hi.
00:43:44Any one of those things?
00:43:45Any yogurts?
00:43:46Great.
00:43:47Thanks.
00:43:48What a morning.
00:43:49I've done a lumbar lumbar anectomy,
00:43:51a ventriculoscomy,
00:43:53and revised a shot.
00:43:54My eyes are beginning to cross.
00:43:57Here.
00:43:57Eat up.
00:43:58You'll feel better.
00:44:00Have a good day going for you.
00:44:01Pretty good.
00:44:03So,
00:44:05Greenway's supervising this morning?
00:44:08Well, she was, but she's off this afternoon.
00:44:11Lucky you.
00:44:13Tell me something.
00:44:14Has she ever been known to give a compliment?
00:44:16Well, there was a day that's probably apocryphal back in 1955.
00:44:21Hold that story.
00:44:22I've got to hear the end of it.
00:44:26Dr. Willis.
00:44:28I'll be there.
00:44:31They're bringing in a headwind.
00:44:32Want to play?
00:44:34Why not?
00:44:35You pitch, I'll catch.
00:44:35But, uh, no extra innings.
00:44:37I've got dinner plans tonight.
00:44:39After you.
00:44:41I've got this side.
00:44:42All right.
00:44:45Okay, please.
00:44:45Lift.
00:44:47Coming through.
00:44:50I got it.
00:44:53This a bullet one?
00:44:54Yeah.
00:44:54Let's get him over to bed four.
00:44:55Yeah, this is right parietal.
00:44:57Uh, right eye's dilated.
00:44:59I'm fixed.
00:45:00BP 90 over 50.
00:45:01Paltz 72.
00:45:02All right, lift on three.
00:45:03One, two, three.
00:45:05Uh, we start at D5 and water.
00:45:10We're ready for our case in four.
00:45:12Hold our tune, right, guys?
00:45:13Yeah, we're all set up.
00:45:17Yeah, all right, I got that one.
00:45:19Okay.
00:45:21Okay, easy.
00:45:22Yeah.
00:45:22Great.
00:45:23Good.
00:45:24Open up the autoclave team.
00:45:25Where's the bullet?
00:45:49Right parietal lobe.
00:45:50Put up the CT scan.
00:45:51Okay.
00:45:51What are you giving him?
00:46:07Redazolam.
00:46:08Vital signs?
00:46:1070 over 30.
00:46:12Pulse 123.
00:46:13Going for a dopamine drip.
00:46:15Yep, but we'll try everything.
00:46:17Right.
00:46:18You have blood ready to go?
00:46:20No.
00:46:21You haven't typed him yet.
00:46:23We'll use O negative if we have to.
00:46:26Right.
00:46:28Turn him towards me.
00:46:30Put him on the donut.
00:46:30Oh, my God.
00:46:46What is it, Kate?
00:46:49Kate, Mom, let's move.
00:46:55He raped me.
00:46:56This is the man who raped me.
00:47:00Get another surgeon.
00:47:01There's no one available.
00:47:02Kate's a senior resident on call.
00:47:04Beep anybody, for God's sake.
00:47:05Come on.
00:47:06He'll be gone by the time they get here.
00:47:09Kate!
00:47:14Okay.
00:47:15Let's do it.
00:47:17Rep him.
00:47:17Hey, Bill.
00:47:31How are you?
00:47:31Okay.
00:47:43Got some epoxy in here, Kate.
00:47:45I don't know why he's not getting enough oxygen.
00:47:48There's blood oozing from the surrounding tissues.
00:47:50I think the bullet's in the sinus, but I'm not even sure we can find it.
00:47:54I'm suctioning.
00:47:55I see it.
00:48:14I see the bullet.
00:48:16There's so much blood.
00:48:17I'm not responding well.
00:48:27Does the bullet stay in or does it come out?
00:48:31I...
00:48:32Kate!
00:48:35Is it in or out, damn it?
00:48:40Let's get it out.
00:48:41The bullet's out.
00:48:49Hurry up.
00:48:49Give him blood.
00:48:52Now.
00:48:53He's losing too much.
00:48:56Part's stopped.
00:48:57Get the crash card.
00:48:58He's not responding.
00:49:13Stop CPR.
00:49:21He's gone.
00:49:22He's gone.
00:49:22He's gone.
00:49:31He's gone.
00:49:45He's gone.
00:49:45He's gone.
00:49:45what was the man's condition when he was brought in confused obtuded yes but awake
00:50:03he was awake yes and you recognized him yes then explain to us both doctor if you can
00:50:10why you went ahead with surgery his pressure was dropping he'd lost a lot of blood did you really
00:50:17think you were competent at that moment to operate on a man who had raped you i was the only surgeon
00:50:23immediately available it was your afternoon off dr greenway tell me dr willis why did you elect to
00:50:29remove the bullet it was my judgment to do so explain your reasons we were lucky to find the
00:50:35bullet it had lodged in the sinus it was my opinion it should come out obviously you were wrong well
00:50:42maybe hindsight gives you 20 20 vision dr greenway but at the time i made the right choice why don't
00:50:47you have a seat dr greenway we're not adversaries here
00:50:51given the amount of bleeding you must have known there was substantial risk in removing the bullet
00:50:59i believe there was greater risk in leaving it in it was accessible but embedded deeply embedded yes
00:51:05and the risk of tearing the sinus i considered it dr willis the man bled to death he did not
00:51:13the man's heart stopped he died of cardiac arrest if a patient is bleeding from the head
00:51:19the low blood pressure affects the other vital structures i know that if you cannot give him blood
00:51:24and get his pressure up then you do something else which may not be as good for the patient in the long
00:51:29run but which might allow him to survive now i did everything i could you were in no emotional
00:51:36condition to operate on that man i did everything humanly possible given the circumstances well it
00:51:41wasn't good enough
00:51:48uh
00:51:50uh
00:51:52uh
00:51:54uh
00:51:56uh
00:51:58uh
00:52:00uh
00:52:02uh
00:52:04greenway flayed me open
00:52:09yeah yeah she's tough
00:52:13was i up to it what if i had chosen to leave the bullet in what if i had acted more quickly
00:52:19wait a minute doctor you gotta put those questions aside
00:52:25could another surgeon have saved him was i responsible for a man's death was i wally
00:52:34Córdoba
00:52:35Councillor
00:52:47yeah
00:52:49yeah
00:52:51yeah

00:53:10No, no, it's okay.
00:53:12Never mind.
00:53:14Never mind.
00:53:15I'm sorry.
00:53:17I just...
00:53:18I don't want any more pain.
00:53:21Mommy, don't cry.
00:53:25A man died on the operating table.
00:53:34They say it's my fault.
00:53:37Is that he's dead?
00:53:39Yes.
00:53:41What do they think you did wrong?
00:53:44Well, it's complicated because...
00:53:48You could never kill somebody.
00:53:51They don't know you.
00:53:52I do.
00:53:53And that's just not something you could do.
00:53:59You sound like your daddy.
00:54:03That's what he would have said.
00:54:07Good.
00:54:10Oh, Carrie.
00:54:11I miss him.
00:54:13I miss him.
00:54:14So do I.
00:54:19Oh, God, it's worse at night, isn't it?
00:54:22It's so lonely.
00:54:24I have this...
00:54:26This huge ape that...
00:54:29Just doesn't seem to go away.
00:54:34You know what else he'd say?
00:54:35He said it all the time.
00:54:44Only listen to the good guys.
00:54:47Oh.
00:54:49You and me, pumpkin.
00:54:51We're the good guys.
00:54:54So only listen to me.
00:54:57Oh.
00:54:57Okay.
00:55:00Okay.
00:55:03I love you.
00:55:04I love you.
00:55:07I love you.
00:55:10Joe, that guy that got shot the other day on I-680.
00:55:30We ran a make on him. We got our man.
00:55:32Yeah?
00:55:33Stuyvesant. Brent Allen Stuyvesant.
00:55:37Positive ID?
00:55:38Same fingerprints. Died on the tape. A bullet wound to the head.
00:55:42Who's the operating doctor?
00:55:45One guess.
00:55:48Dr. Kate Willis.
00:55:50Uh-huh.
00:55:51Mrs. Gould has been diagnosed as a cervical radiculopathy.
00:56:10Morning, Mrs. Gould.
00:56:12Is it?
00:56:14Mrs. Gould has had a pain down her arms for the past six months.
00:56:17She's been in a cast. We've tried traction. Nothing seems to work.
00:56:20Peterson, what would your next course of action be?
00:56:22Uh, what were her EMG results?
00:56:24Positive.
00:56:26Then I guess I'd operate.
00:56:27I concur.
00:56:28Mrs. Gould is scheduled for surgery first thing tomorrow morning.
00:56:31No.
00:56:31Well, there's nothing to worry about.
00:56:36No.
00:56:38Why don't you want the surgery? It'll help relieve your pain.
00:56:42I didn't say I didn't want the surgery.
00:56:46Then what?
00:56:47I don't want you to do it, Dr. Willis.
00:56:50I'm not having you operate on me.
00:56:54Why is that, Mrs. Gould?
00:56:56I have my reasons.
00:56:59I want another surgeon, or I go to another hospital.
00:57:08She didn't want me because of what she'd heard.
00:57:10Which was?
00:57:11That I had killed a patient in the operating room, deliberately.
00:57:14She said that?
00:57:15She didn't have the guts to.
00:57:16Another patient did.
00:57:18Said he heard it from a nurse, who heard it from another nurse, or a resident.
00:57:21Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait a second.
00:57:23Wait a minute.
00:57:23That's the case.
00:57:24Come on.
00:57:24Wait a minute.
00:57:25Wait a second.
00:57:26That's just hospital gossip line stuff.
00:57:28How do I continue to function in a hospital where my fellow doctors believe I murdered someone?
00:57:33Situations unusual, of course.
00:57:48Obvious would be a better word.
00:57:50I mean, it couldn't be more obvious if someone had given the woman a knife and told her to do what she wanted.
00:57:55Why she falsely accused Brent of raping her, I will never know.
00:57:59He's not capable of doing anything like that.
00:58:02I mean, she must be crazy.
00:58:05And then my husband mysteriously dies under her hands?
00:58:08I want this woman arrested for murder.
00:58:13Mrs. Stuyvesant, your husband was arrested for rape ten years ago.
00:58:18And convicted?
00:58:20How long jury?
00:58:21Case dismissed.
00:58:22Then it's accusation.
00:58:23Nothing more.
00:58:25We're talking about murder here, Mr. O'Donnell.
00:58:29My husband's murder.
00:58:32Now, I'm starting with you because I hear you do your job extremely well.
00:58:36But believe me, if you falter, I know exactly where to go and whom to speak with.
00:58:45Detective Porter will ask a few questions.
00:58:47See what he can come up with.
00:58:50How long will this take?
00:58:52When we know something, you'll know.
00:58:57Let's keep quiet about this Willis thing.
00:59:05This may be nothing at all.
00:59:07Maybe.
00:59:10Meaning?
00:59:12Read Willis' statement.
00:59:13She said if she would have had a knife that night, she would have killed him herself.
00:59:18Fate gave her the opportunity and the weapon.
00:59:20He died of cardiac arrest.
00:59:32Caused by?
00:59:33Shock, probably.
00:59:35Effects of the wound, excessive bleeding, lots of things.
00:59:39Could he have died from something the surgeon did?
00:59:41No.
00:59:42There's no indication of that.
00:59:43Okay, thanks.
00:59:49But a surgeon doesn't necessarily have to do something to a patient to kill him.
00:59:53Sometimes it's what he didn't do.
00:59:57Like what?
00:59:58Like waiting too long, hesitating.
01:00:01Now, it wouldn't show up on the pathologist's report.
01:00:04There'll never be any evidence of it.
01:00:05But if he hesitates, even for a fraction of a second, he may kill the patient.
01:00:10Hmm.
01:00:11But not deliberately.
01:00:13Who's to say what's deliberate?
01:00:15Man is fallible, Mr. Porter.
01:00:16Fallible in his skills.
01:00:18Fallible in his motives.
01:00:21Okay, thank you.
01:00:26Good afternoon, Dr. Willis.
01:00:27You got a minute?
01:00:28Not really.
01:00:29I have to pick up my daughter from school.
01:00:31Mind if I walk into your car?
01:00:33Once I got into trouble the last time.
01:00:34Look, uh, I'll live it with you.
01:00:40This morning I took the office.
01:00:55Would you tell Dr. Greenway I'd like to see her?
01:00:57Immediately.
01:01:00Have you ever performed an operation exactly like this before?
01:01:03Why all these questions?
01:01:04Just routine?
01:01:07For a cop, you're a bad liar, Mr. Porter.
01:01:09All right.
01:01:10Look, we have a very difficult situation here.
01:01:13You think I wanted him dead?
01:01:15Maybe.
01:01:16Oh, no.
01:01:17No, I wanted him to stand trial.
01:01:19I wanted him to be punished.
01:01:21I wanted him to understand what he did to me.
01:01:24The man was brought in like any other emergency.
01:01:44The man was brought in like any other emergency.
01:01:46He was operated on just like any other emergency.
01:01:50How can you know that?
01:01:51How can you know that?
01:01:51You weren't in surgery either.
01:01:53That's the report I'm submitting to the medical board, and it ought to put the matter to rest.
01:01:56A little premature, don't you think?
01:01:58Carol, I want to put an end to it.
01:02:00What everybody said.
01:02:02Detective Porter's been asking questions.
01:02:03Carol, how long have we been here?
01:02:10And how long we waited to rebuild this hospital?
01:02:13Since the day we started.
01:02:16The slightest hint of a scandal, a wrongful death suit, and Paul Stryker's going to snatch up his money and go home.
01:02:22So you're asking me to consider the greater good and forget the smaller truth?
01:02:27The truth is, as I wrote it.
01:02:29Perhaps.
01:02:30But there has got to be an investigation within the hospital.
01:02:33Somebody has got to speak to every physician and every nurse who was in that operating room.
01:02:37And if you won't do it, I will.
01:02:52Mrs. Stuyvesant, Tim Mateson, Youngstown Times.
01:03:07Come in.
01:03:13For how long?
01:03:14Pardon?
01:03:15How long have you worked, Barry?
01:03:16You don't seem very old.
01:03:18Mrs. Stuyvesant, I'm old enough to listen, and you're certainly old enough to do the talking.
01:03:21That's all we need.
01:03:25I want it on the front page.
01:03:27You'll have to take that up with my editor, Mr. Burroughs.
01:03:31Shall we start?
01:03:35Dr. Kate Willis killed my husband.
01:03:44Let me do that thing.
01:03:46You're filling up a bucket with those tears.
01:03:48My theory is tears make spaghetti sauce taste better.
01:03:52Cuts the acidity in the tomato sauce?
01:03:54Yeah.
01:03:55Whatever that is.
01:03:57What we're making here is comfort food.
01:04:00And I think we both could use a healthy portion right about now.
01:04:03I always thought chicken soup was comfort food.
01:04:06You know, when you're sick, you're supposed to have chicken soup.
01:04:08That's right.
01:04:09And when you're having life's troubles, you're supposed to have comfort food.
01:04:12Maybe in your generation, but not kids.
01:04:16And what did your generation have?
01:04:18Handriggers.
01:04:19Oh, how could I have forgotten?
01:04:21You know, Mom, you're getting lost.
01:04:23The memory's going.
01:04:24Chop the green pepper.
01:04:26Hmm.
01:04:27Well, I'm telling you, Blodgett said that she's recording every session, so she's got all her answers for the record.
01:04:34Oh, God.
01:04:35Yep.
01:04:35Why does this remind me of the principal's office?
01:04:40Thank you, Doctor.
01:04:44Dr. Shaw, you're next.
01:04:45Dr. Greenlee.
01:04:51Why are you doing this?
01:04:52Dr. McMahon said that his report to the medical board found no culpability.
01:04:56That was his conclusion.
01:04:57I have yet to make mine.
01:05:07Well, that's the purpose of a grand jury investigation, isn't it?
01:05:11To gather evidence, to get the facts public.
01:05:13It's investigatory.
01:05:15I can't imagine why you wouldn't support me on that.
01:05:18Could you explain that to me, Mr. Mayor?
01:05:20Mrs. Stuyvesant, RDA, found no reason to prosecute.
01:05:23The Youngstown Times sees it differently.
01:05:26You spoke to the press.
01:05:29No one is taking my husband's death seriously.
01:05:34My husband was murdered, Mr. Payson.
01:05:36I'm not going to turn my back and pretend it didn't happen.
01:05:43I'm in trouble, aren't I, Mr. Hale?
01:05:45It would seem so.
01:05:51I've made up my mind.
01:05:54I want to testify before the grand jury.
01:05:57You want my opinion?
01:05:58That is a bad choice.
01:05:59Why?
01:06:00Why?
01:06:01If what they hear is the truth.
01:06:02Because I'm not permitted to be there to help you.
01:06:07So that anything that you tell them can be used against you later.
01:06:11Look.
01:06:12I didn't want that man to die.
01:06:14That's the truth.
01:06:15And I have to have a chance to tell them that.
01:06:20Mr. Hale, revenge never crossed my mind.
01:06:24Not for a second.
01:06:26All right.
01:06:28It'll take a petition, but I'll do it.
01:06:30Oh, you're shaking.
01:06:34I'm terrified.
01:06:35Oh.
01:06:36You have the best lawyer in town.
01:06:39And I can hold my own with any of those guys from Cincinnati and Cleveland, too.
01:06:44Murder cases are my specialty.
01:06:46Mr. Mayor.
01:06:51Mr. Mayor.
01:06:52Mr. Mayor.
01:06:53Mr. Mayor.
01:06:53Mr. Mayor.
01:06:54Do you support the convening of the grand jury, Mr. Mayor?
01:06:56Well, of course I support it.
01:06:58There's no better way of getting the facts out to the people than you think the entire story hasn't been told.
01:07:02Mr. Mayor, please.
01:07:03We are gathering facts to determine if, and I say if, there is a need for criminal prosecution.
01:07:09Now, this is an investigatory process.
01:07:11It's not a trial.
01:07:12You people just slow down, okay?
01:07:14I mean, the horse is not even out of the barn yet, and you're locking the door.
01:07:18Listen, I've got to run.
01:07:19I'm really late.
01:07:20Listen, I'll talk to you later, okay?
01:07:21Mr. Mayor.
01:07:21Are you saying the entire story hasn't been told?
01:07:24Mr. Mayor, some say you're talking to the issue.
01:07:26Mr. Mayor.
01:07:27We're going down the process.
01:07:29Mr. Mayor.
01:07:31Detective Porter, you were assigned to the case of rape involving Dr. Kate Willis?
01:07:36Yes.
01:07:37When did you first meet Dr. Willis?
01:07:39When she came to my office to try to give us a composite of her assailant.
01:07:42I had a police artist with me.
01:07:45And did her description of her assailant fit the description of the late Brent Allen Stuyvesant?
01:07:50More or less.
01:07:51Was there a time when she absolutely identified Brent Stuyvesant?
01:07:56Yes, sir.
01:07:57Tell us about that.
01:07:58I brought her pictures of several men previously arrested for rape and asked her if her assailant was among them.
01:08:05She picked him out immediately.
01:08:08Let's be clear about this.
01:08:10She positively identified him.
01:08:12She said, that's the man who raped me.
01:08:15Now, Detective, you also investigated the events surrounding Mr. Stuyvesant's death, didn't you?
01:08:21Yes, sir, I did.
01:08:22And why was that investigation started?
01:08:26Mr. Stuyvesant's widow was concerned about the manner in which he was killed.
01:08:30And did you share her concern?
01:08:34I had my questions.
01:08:35And why was that?
01:08:40The day Dr. Willis was at the station with me, she told me that if she could have gotten the knife away from her rapist, she would have killed him on the spot.
01:08:47Somehow the coincidence of it, that he in fact did die under her knife, well, made me wonder.
01:08:54Now, Dr. Shaw, you had operated with Dr. Willis prior to the surgery in question?
01:09:01Many times. She's a brilliant surgeon.
01:09:06That's not what I asked, doctor, and it's a matter of opinion.
01:09:09Now, let's review the day in question.
01:09:11You were in the operating room before Dr. Willis entered?
01:09:15Yes.
01:09:15What happened when she came in?
01:09:18Dr. Willis wanted to know what I'd given the patient and what his vital signs were.
01:09:22Was he awake?
01:09:24Barely.
01:09:25But his blood pressure was down and was dropping.
01:09:27As I understand it, then, it was imperative that surgery begin as quickly as possible.
01:09:34Yes.
01:09:35Tell us what happened next.
01:09:37Well, Dr. Willis asked one of the residents to secure the patient's head, and then she took a look at him.
01:09:43What did she say?
01:09:47She said that he was the man that raped her.
01:09:50She must have been...
01:09:52shocked.
01:09:54Ah, of course.
01:09:55We all were.
01:09:56Did you advise calling another surgeon to operate?
01:09:58Yes, I did.
01:09:59And I'm sure that Dr. Willis would have stepped aside, but there was no other surgeon immediately available,
01:10:04and there was very little time to waste, so Dr. Willis had to operate immediately.
01:10:09Haven't you skipped something?
01:10:12No.
01:10:14It was my understanding that Dr. Willis hesitated.
01:10:17Well, for a moment. It was just mere seconds.
01:10:20Time was negligible.
01:10:21You said, Kate, let's move. Do you remember saying that?
01:10:23No.
01:10:26No.
01:10:27Residents, the intern, the nurses, they all testified under oath that Dr. Willis seemed to hesitate, and you said, Kate, let's move.
01:10:35I don't remember that.
01:10:35Dr. Shaw, are you close friends with Dr. Willis?
01:10:42Yes.
01:10:45Romantically involved?
01:10:47No.
01:10:47Is your friendship plotting a memory?
01:10:48No, it is not.
01:10:50So, doctor, do you remember any other operation performed by Dr. Willis where she was warned that any delay might kill a patient?
01:11:02No.
01:11:03You're under oath, doctor.
01:11:08I don't remember any such time.
01:11:10You don't recall a time when Dr. Greenway came into the operating room while Dr. Willis was operating
01:11:15and asked her to determine the procedure she was going to use on a patient who, like Brent Stuyvesant, had been admitted with a bullet wound to the head?
01:11:23Yes, Dr. Greenway.
01:11:24Do you remember what Dr. Greenway said to Dr. Willis?
01:11:26Dr. Greenway and...
01:11:27Let me refresh your memory.
01:11:29According to testimony given by others in the O.R. that day, Dr. Greenway said to Dr. Willis,
01:11:36he can die while you're making up your mind, doctor.
01:11:40All you have to do is move a little slower.
01:11:42You won't kill him, but you won't save him either.
01:11:49Do you remember her saying that?
01:11:55You're taking a comment completely out of context.
01:11:57I'll be all, Dr. Shaw.
01:11:59You may step down.
01:11:59Okay.
01:12:00Oh, well.
01:12:01Okay.
01:12:15Maybe.
01:12:15Maybe.
01:12:16Maybe.
01:12:21Maybe.
01:12:22Maybe.
01:12:23Maybe.
01:12:25Maybe.
01:12:25Carrie Marie Willis, what are you doing up at 2 a.m.?
01:12:34The same thing you are, worrying.
01:12:39Yes, I have to testify tomorrow.
01:12:41I know.
01:12:43Isn't that what you're worried about?
01:12:45Yes, very.
01:12:46I have to say the right things.
01:12:48I want to be there.
01:12:50Oh, sweetheart, you have school.
01:12:51I don't want you to be there.
01:12:52I want to give you mortal support.
01:12:54Moral.
01:12:55You want to give me moral support?
01:12:57I'm old enough.
01:13:00I sure could use the help.
01:13:09Dr. Shaw had given the patient Lasix and Aramine because he didn't have a dopamine drip.
01:13:15I wanted to give him blood, but there wasn't time to do a cross-match.
01:13:19All this took place before you recognized it?
01:13:23Yes.
01:13:24And then?
01:13:26I asked the junior resident to put the patient on a headrest, and he turned his head toward me.
01:13:35And you recognized Mr. Stuyvesant?
01:13:37Yes.
01:13:38As the man you say raped you?
01:13:40Yes.
01:13:41There was no doubt in your mind?
01:13:42None.
01:13:42Now, Dr. Willis, did you at one time tell Detective Porter that if you could have wrestled the knife away from your rapist, you would have killed him?
01:13:58Dr. Willis?
01:14:07Do you recall saying that to Detective Porter?
01:14:08Yes.
01:14:10Wasn't that your first instinct?
01:14:16No.
01:14:17What happened to your thirst for revenge?
01:14:18Did it simply evaporate?
01:14:20He was a critically wounded patient.
01:14:22His blood pressure was dropping.
01:14:23I knew that I had to.
01:14:24You're telling me that you treated him just like any other patient?
01:14:26Yes.
01:14:28Dr. Willis, didn't Dr. Shaw have to prod you to move more quickly?
01:14:31Just for the moment.
01:14:32Do you remember a time when Dr. Greenway told you that if you didn't want to save a patient, all you had to do was move a little slower?
01:14:38In another situation, yes.
01:14:40Thank you, Dr. Willis.
01:14:42What about covers?
01:14:45Don't you know that I've replayed that night over and over in my mind?
01:14:49Every detail, every move I made, every second that went by until I knew for certain that I did my best.
01:14:54We're done here, Dr. Willis.
01:14:56I used every surgical skill I had.
01:14:57I tried to save that man.
01:14:59I wanted him to live.
01:15:00Step down, Dr. Willis.
01:15:01Your time here is finished.
01:15:21Carrie.
01:15:22Mommy.
01:15:25It's all over.
01:15:26How'd you do?
01:15:27The best I could, but I don't know.
01:15:32Oh, Mommy, did you mess up?
01:15:34Did you say the wrong things?
01:15:43Frances, would you take care of the car?
01:15:44I'll be there in just a minute.
01:15:46You go on, sweetheart.
01:15:48I'll be there in a minute.
01:15:50Okay.
01:15:50Dr. Greenway.
01:15:57What are you going to say in there?
01:16:00My testimony is private and privileged information.
01:16:04You haven't liked me from the first day we met, have you?
01:16:08Your likability has nothing to do with this case.
01:16:10I did everything in my power to save that man.
01:16:13I've searched my heart, and I know that's true.
01:16:16But you won't listen.
01:16:16You're going to walk in there and destroy my life.
01:16:19You're going to walk in there and destroy my life.
01:16:19You're going to walk in there and destroy my life.
01:16:22You're going to walk in there and destroy my life.
01:16:23You're going to walk in there and destroy my life.
01:16:24You're going to walk in there and destroy my life.
01:16:25You're going to walk in there and destroy my life.
01:16:26You're going to walk in there and destroy my life.
01:16:27You're going to walk in there and destroy my life.
01:16:28You're going to walk in there and destroy my life.
01:16:29You're going to walk in there and destroy my life.
01:16:30You're going to walk in there and destroy my life.
01:16:31You're going to walk in there and destroy my life.
01:16:32You're going to walk in there and destroy my life.
01:16:33You're going to walk in there and destroy my life.
01:16:34You're going to walk in there and destroy my life.
01:16:35You're going to walk in there and destroy my life.
01:16:36you have observed dr willis in surgery yes many times but not on the afternoon question when she
01:16:56was operating on mr stuyveson no when i arrived in the operating room the patient was already
01:17:01deceased in your capacity as chief of surgery did you question dr willis about the events of that
01:17:07night yes both dr mcmahon and i questioned her and did she acknowledge that there was perhaps a
01:17:12hesitation on her part no statements from the residents the interns and the nurses who assisted
01:17:21all said that the anesthesiologist had to caution her to move more quickly my understanding is that
01:17:28her hesitation was a fraction of a second
01:17:30well you had to caution her on a previous surgery didn't you no
01:17:37dr greenway we can't hear the exact quote from you on that occasion you said
01:17:48he can die while you're making up your mind doctor all you have to do is move a little
01:17:58slower you won't kill him but you won't save him either did you say that to dr willis yes then
01:18:03you cautioned her before mr o'donald i have said those words to every young surgeon for whom i've
01:18:10ever been responsible she was not procrastinating i was merely warning her what could happen if she
01:18:16did obviously she did mr stuyveson that is not obvious to me would you like to explain that
01:18:23the amount of time it took her to move as dr shaw put it could not have made any difference to this
01:18:30patient but she elected to remove the bullet removing the bullet or leaving it in place is always
01:18:37left to the judgment of the surgeon both procedures have risks
01:18:41what are you saying doctor i'm saying that in all likelihood this patient would have died regardless
01:18:51of what was done for him regardless of what was done to him nothing was done to him mr o'donald
01:18:57that should not have been done dr willis is a fine surgeon is it your judgment that dr willis
01:19:05should have undertaken this surgery dr willis had no choice you cannot prosecute a surgeon for what
01:19:11she may have been thinking before she operated while she operated my understanding from my own very
01:19:16thorough investigation is that she did absolutely everything she possibly could in spite of the
01:19:22circumstances involved i came to apologize for my tirade not necessary doctor
01:19:47well then good night dr greenway

01:22:21not going to have my name associated with even a breath of scandal
01:22:25the grand jury couldn't find one shred of reputable evidence to support mrs stuyvesy's claim
01:22:29unfortunately
01:22:30public opinion does not concur
01:22:33walter you want the new hospital is as simple as that
01:22:35mr fernandez was admitted to the hospital complaining of dizziness and weakness to his right side
01:22:51we ordered a ct scan suspecting a mild stroke
01:22:54dr paulins would you take over rounds for dr willis please
01:22:57yes ma'am
01:22:58results of the ct scan showed in the large ventricle
01:23:01spinal tap was done and the sunblood
01:23:04dr mcmahon has asked for your resignation
01:23:06dr willis's letter of resignation
01:23:17it was a political decision
