00:00This is one of the worst fractures I've ever seen.
00:03This patient should be in surgery.
00:04Exactly. She's got a type 3 supercondylar fracture of the humerus.
00:07And she's a child. You can't operate on a minor without parental consent.
00:10Every minute we delay, we're risking compartment syndrome, permanent nerve damage.
00:13If you take this kid to the OR, Dr. Morrison, we might as well write the settlement check now.
00:18Okay, so where are the parents?
00:19Maine. She says they're in Maine.
00:22A kid from Maine is in Pittsburgh without any parents.
00:25What is going on?
00:28Guys, what am I missing here?
00:29The patient says she's not a minor. She says she's 30.
00:32It doesn't matter what she says. We all have eyes.
00:35Maybe you should hear this from her.
00:39Just, you know, brace yourself. It might get spicy.
00:46Who the f*** are you?
00:48That's a good question, really.
00:51Why do I even want to be back at the clinic?
00:54I've got talents, I've got skills. I could take them anywhere.
00:57Well, today is your first day back.
01:00Why did you fight so hard for this job?
01:03I mean, they see the best patients. They do the best work. I'd work there if I was a doctor, not a consultant.
01:09Okay, thank you, Glenn. But I would like to hear from Ingrid.
01:13Glenn 1N is right. Kind of.
01:16There isn't a better fellowship in the country.
01:19I mean, the work they do at the Holmes Clinic, the work we do, it's right at the edge of what people know.
01:25It's at the edge of everything.
01:28Welcome to group, Mr. Wythe. We start on time.
01:31Sorry.
01:32I had a call.
01:33Sorry.
01:34Hey, everyone.
01:35I'm back, Wythe.
01:37Like life.
01:38With a W.
01:39Please, go on.
01:42I'm interested.
01:43You said Glenn was kind of right.
01:46What is he missing?
01:48I don't know.
01:49It's my place.
01:55I hate how that sounds.
01:59But it is.
02:03It's my place.
02:09Five sociopaths walk into a room.
02:11They all sit in a circle and share their feelings.
02:13Is that the set-up to a joke?
02:15It ditched the cane.
02:16Nice.
02:16It's the set-up to a horror movie.
02:18You don't gather cluster B deviants in a cluster.
02:20That's how they hatch plans.
02:22We all agree to this.
02:23We have to make it work with Ingrid.
02:25I know.
02:25It's just this whole therapy thing.
02:28It's not helping me feel better.
02:29They say it takes time.
02:31Morning, everyone.
02:34Therapy.
02:34They say it takes time.
02:36Usually the people around you notice a difference before you do.
02:40What are you guys talking about?
02:41You.
02:42We're talking about you.
02:44But you probably knew that already.
02:46Appreciate the honesty.
02:48Honesty leads to cake.
02:51Burnt almond tort.
02:52Prantles.
02:53Best cake I ever had.
02:56Oh, you remembered.
02:58I remember everything.
03:02Like, for example, we never had pea plants before.
03:07Watson inoculated the roots with rhizobia bacteria.
03:10He's trying to create a self-fertilizing ecosystem.
03:13If he's successful, basically...
03:14We disrupt the fertilizer companies right out of the market.
03:18Cool.
03:20Where is Watson, anyway?
03:23Sorry to disturb, Garth.
03:25The fellows, all four of the fellows, were wondering if you were going to join them for
03:30today's remote consults.
03:31Sorry, I, uh, got in early today.
03:37It's early now, Dr. Watson.
03:40Yeah, no, I mean, like, really early.
03:42Uh, Leila, wondering where I've been this morning.
03:48Mary.
03:48The Pittsburgh Mystery.
03:59Where is that, Garth?
04:00Uh, that's nothing.
04:02That's nothing.
04:04Not sure what I was doing there.
04:05Good morning, Ingrid.
04:11Welcome back.
04:12It's nice to be here.
04:13I have to get to the ER.
04:14Someone run the remote without me.
04:15I'll review the notes.
04:16Someone?
04:17Who?
04:18Uh, let's go with...
04:23Adam.
04:24Your faith means the world to me.
04:27Sincerely.
04:28Okay.
04:29Remote consult.
04:30Let's get it.
04:30The patient's of indeterminate age.
04:34She got T-boned in her Mustang.
04:36Indeterminate age?
04:37Can't she just tell you how old she is?
04:38No, the patient says she's 30.
04:40There's some question if that's accurate.
04:43What about ID?
04:44The EMTs put her in the ambulance before she could grab it.
04:46We're trying to figure out which impound lot the car got towed to.
04:50I need to operate on her, but I need to know how old she is first.
04:54Okay, I don't understand.
04:54Like, even if you're off, say, what, a couple years, what's the issue?
05:00I get that a lot.
05:07I'm Dr. John Watson.
05:08Your name...
05:09Max.
05:10I go by Max, and yes, before you ask, I am 30.
05:14I'm really 30.
05:15Well, you must have a hard time getting people to believe that, Max.
05:18I thought you said this guy was a genius.
05:22Of course, I have a hard time.
05:24Look at me.
05:25If you're just going to let me suffer, I'll take my business down the street.
05:30No, no, that's okay.
05:31Um, I have an idea.
05:33Can you open up your mouth as wide as you can for me?
05:36I want to believe you, Max.
05:37I really do, but let me just have a quick peek.
05:40Okay?
05:41Let's have a quick peek.
05:42Look at that.
05:44Coffee stains.
05:45Moderate attrition on the surfaces.
05:46Her teeth.
05:49I should have thought of that.
05:52Well, I can't lie, Max.
05:53You look like a 10-year-old, but inside your mouth, I see fully erupted third molars.
05:58Your teeth have been in for decades.
06:01I'll get her prepped for surgery.
06:04I believe you, Max.
06:06You are 30.
06:07No.
06:08I'm not trying to be a kid, but how soon can you get me out of here?
06:15Well, it's a serious orthopedic procedure.
06:18Dr. Morrison, she's one of the best surgeons in the country, but given your condition, it's
06:23hard to predict the recovery time.
06:25Max, if you don't mind me asking, when did you first realize that your body wasn't aging
06:29typically?
06:31I do mind you asking.
06:33I have a broken arm.
06:34I'm not trying to do therapy here.
06:35No, neither am I.
06:36I have seen most of what the world has to offer, but I've never met someone like you.
06:42I'd like to help.
06:45Help how?
06:47Are you going to put me in a machine that changes me into a normal animal?
06:50I wish I could.
06:51I really do.
06:52But the truth is, I have no idea what type of interventions are possible.
07:00You didn't bull me.
07:03I like that.
07:03Look, if it'll get me out of here faster, I'll give you the 30-second version.
07:09If you want to take samples, or whatever, while I'm under, have at it.
07:12But that's it.
07:14Seriously, I don't want to live under a microscope.
07:17I'd love to hear your story.
07:20I was always small.
07:23When I was 10, everything stopped.
07:26They gave me growth hormones.
07:28My ankles swelled it bigger than Grammy's.
07:30What did your doctors do next?
07:31They tried to send me to U-Hop.
07:34The Mayo Clinic.
07:36Someplace with fancy doctors.
07:39My mom works at L.E. Counter.
07:42Those clinics might as well have been the moon.
07:46I'd be good now.
07:49I have to get to Cradle Lake.
07:50Oregon, though, huh?
07:59That's where you're headed?
08:01Only vacation my mom ever took.
08:04She said the lake is this kind of beautiful blue that you can't see anywhere else.
08:07I've been there.
08:08There are no rivers or streams feeding into the lake.
08:11All just rain and snow.
08:13The purest colors in the world.
08:14But I hear you can't swim there anymore because they're worried about the water changing.
08:20Everything changes, Dr. Watson.
08:26Except me.
08:29Patient is 30.
08:32Patient looks 10.
08:34No one in her world has bothered to find out why.
08:37Max didn't respond to growth hormones.
08:39She lives in a world where no one would see her for who she really is.
08:43Max, think about the way that this woman lives.
08:46Woman?
08:47She subsists on costs in her job.
08:49She lives at home because no landlords take her seriously.
08:52Max will never experience the moments that we all take for granted.
08:58Did you take a basic history?
09:00Very basic.
09:01Okay, well, let's take a detailed one.
09:03She's our patient, right?
09:05Watson?
09:06Hmm?
09:07She is our patient.
09:09Well, I'm in process on that issue.
09:12Look, Max's history is not an issue right now.
09:15She's head for surgery.
09:17I have never seen anything like this before.
09:20Ever.
09:20I'm not even sure there's a name for what this woman has.
09:23Woman.
09:23You keep saying that.
09:25That's the right word, but we're all looking at the same picture.
09:27It takes some getting used to us all.
09:28Max Bowers is significant.
09:31And we will help her.
09:32Now, for whatever reason, Max's chart isn't connected to our system.
09:36So, Stevens and Ingrid, call around Maine.
09:47Dig up every record that you can find.
09:49Adam and Sasha, make the rounds of the impound lots.
09:52Max was driving a 66 Mustang Coupe.
09:54Dang.
09:55If I find it, can I drive it?
09:56We're not joyriding.
09:58We are looking for clues.
09:59Her stuff, maybe a journal, anything that can shed some light on where she came from.
10:06Meanwhile, I'm going to keep my eye out on Max's operation.
10:10We'll connect after that.
10:13It's good to see you all in one room.
10:16Happy hunting.
10:17Someone in Shul Diner General in Bancor told me Max Bowers saw a Dr. Everett at your clinic.
10:26Of course, you don't have a record of a Dr. Everett.
10:29Okay, let's go by patient name.
10:30Has Maxine Bowers had treatment there?
10:34Okay.
10:35Um, if anything turns up, please call me back.
10:37My name is Dr. Ingrid Darien.
10:42Remind me never to get sick at Caleb's Gourmaine.
10:44Closest population center is two hours away.
10:47You can't open a hospital anywhere close.
10:49Numbers don't work.
10:50Max saw doctors in pop-up tents.
10:52Probably never saw the same person twice.
10:54A medical desert.
10:55They're all over the place.
10:56If you ever need help in one, well, you're relying on the kindness of strangers.
11:01Max can tell you how that works out.
11:06Should we just have it out?
11:07We have unresolved issues.
11:09I mean, Watson thinks so anyway.
11:10That's why he put us together.
11:12I'm not your problem here.
11:14You're not mad?
11:16Nope.
11:17I've seen you get mad at hospice volunteers.
11:19I saw you get mad at a school bus once.
11:22But you're not mad at me.
11:25I've had some time with the whole thing.
11:26You can more or less wrap my head around what you did.
11:30And I'm working on all that, by the way.
11:32The irritation.
11:33Everything else.
11:34You're getting laid.
11:35I'm happy for you, but that's not the same thing as working on it.
11:38Why did you fight so hard to come back here anyway?
11:46This is a good place.
11:48I mean, it's good overall, and it's, you know, good for people like us.
11:53People like us?
11:54Do you want me to meet people with a diagnosis?
11:57I don't have a diagnosis.
12:00Of course not.
12:02Sorry.
12:05If you're not my problem here, who is?
12:09I'm ready, Dr. Marston.
12:33Thank you, Petra.
12:44Hard to believe she's really 30.
12:51Something wrong, doctor?
12:55I'm not annoyed, Andre.
12:57But you could get me there if you keep asking me that.
13:00Okay, I'm sorry.
13:02We'll figure it out, okay?
13:03I get you have to do this.
13:06Dr. Bynum.
13:08I'm glad I caught you.
13:09I'm glad to be caught, Dr. Watson.
13:11Listen, sorry about this morning.
13:13I couldn't sleep last night.
13:14Got caught up thinking about some stuff.
13:15Anything fun?
13:16Uh, too soon to tell.
13:18Not a big deal.
13:19Maybe a note next time.
13:20I don't like waking up alone.
13:22We have our, you know, morning appointments.
13:24Yes, we do.
13:25Yes, we do.
13:26But I'm seeing you this weekend, right?
13:27I can make it up to you.
13:28Actually, I have Micah now.
13:30His dad got called to Morgantown.
13:31Some kind of liquidity crisis for one of his clients.
13:34We promised the kid Kennywood for good grades.
13:37I'm on the hook now.
13:37Oh, cool.
13:38I can go with you.
13:39I haven't ridden Thunderbolt in years.
13:43You good?
13:45John, you haven't met my son.
13:48Yeah, no, I know.
13:49I'm sorry.
13:51This is the emergency phone.
13:52The cottage.
13:54Everything okay?
13:55Sorry, can I bar you for a few minutes?
13:58I need your professional opinion.
14:00But once I reduced her arm, I found multiple enlarged lymph nodes in her left arm and neck.
14:05I felt that before.
14:07It's always been one thing.
14:08It's concerning for lymphoma.
14:10I'm not arguing with that.
14:11And of course, I'm happy to weigh in.
14:13But I am a pediatric oncologist and this woman's 30 years old.
14:17Well, Max Bowers is kind of 30, but she's kind of something else.
14:22I don't understand.
14:24We're dead in a field of flowers.
14:25You know about the lymphoma.
14:26You know you might have cancer.
14:28Might?
14:29Try to.
14:29Why didn't you tell us?
14:32I just need you to fix my arm.
14:33Ms. Bowers, Max, you've had a low-grade fever since you got to U-Hop.
14:38It could be a sign of, it could be a sign things are advancing.
14:42Isn't that what things do?
14:44Advance?
14:45Most things anyway.
14:46I don't want any pills, I don't want any scans, and I don't want any radiation.
14:52Max, most lymphoma is highly treatable.
14:54Sounds great for someone who wants treatment.
14:56You guys really can't read a room, can you?
14:59Speaking of which, look at the vibes with you three.
15:03Am I the only one here who isn't everyone else?
15:06Mind your business, Max.
15:07Tell you what, you mind your business and I'll extend the favor right back.
15:10I'm 30.
15:12I'm not getting any younger.
15:14But I'm not getting any older, either.
15:21I'll never have a boyfriend, or a husband, or a daughter, or a real job, or a ticket to an R-rated movie.
15:30If there is cancer inside of me, it can't do its job fast enough.
15:36I'm going to go to Crater Lake.
15:38I'm going to swim in the blue water, just like my mom did.
15:40And then I'm ready for what comes after.
15:49I need more pain meds.
15:54Dr. Morstan, authorize a dose to keep you comfortable.
15:58And then what, are you going to handcuff me to the bed?
16:00Of course not, Max.
16:03Ooh, I know.
16:04Call CPS.
16:06Tell them there's a 10-year-old with no parents that you are.
16:09Well, you're an adult.
16:10Well, I don't agree with what you're doing.
16:13I respect your autonomy.
16:15You don't make it easy to hate you.
16:19I hate that.
16:21So what do you got, Dr. Watson?
16:22Listen, you're going to reach into your bag of tricks, give old Max a reason to keep going.
16:29I see reasons to live everywhere I look, Max.
16:35Listen, you're one of the good ones.
16:40But tomorrow, as soon as I can move without screaming,
16:44I'm leaving.
16:51I'm leaving.
16:56Thank you all for coming back.
16:58Tonight, we have two problems, and we have to solve one or both of those problems
17:03by the time Max Bowers wakes up.
17:05Problem one, the patient could be dying.
17:08Problem two, the patient doesn't want to live.
17:10But if all those cancel each other out, you could say we have zero problems.
17:15We have two problems, two teams.
17:18Our first issue is for Team How to Stay Alive.
17:22Problem two is a job for Team Why Stay Alive at all.
17:28Ingrid and Sasha, you two are Team How to Stay Alive.
17:35Shouldn't Sasha be on Team Yay Life?
17:38Too obvious.
17:39Get us data.
17:40Find anyone who will pick up a phone in Maine and build a timeline of Max's conditions.
17:45Congratulations, Cross.
17:46You two get to discover the meaning of life.
17:48Are you sure you're comfortable having Stevens on this issue?
17:50I like life.
17:53I tolerate life.
17:54We have an understanding.
17:56Don't despair.
17:56Shenwell will be with you in spirit.
17:58He's going to be sitting with Max while I sequence her genome in another half.
18:01But just watching the young lady.
18:03Pretty much, yeah.
18:05And if she wakes up, then, you know, you have to give her hope.
18:08Is that hope?
18:08Max Bowers has lymphoma.
18:10It's going to be a fight.
18:11She has to see that there's something worthwhile on the other side of that.
18:14What does our patient need?
18:16Companionship.
18:17We have to promise Max that we'll find others like her.
18:20Watson, we don't even know if someone else like Max exists.
18:24There are eight billion of us on this planet.
18:26We live in the richest country on Earth, and yet Max has slipped through the cracks?
18:29Max, I believe there are others.
18:32There's a big difference between promise and belief, Guff.
18:37You could call that a lie.
18:39It's a bet.
18:40And we have to make her to Max to just check out of here in the morning.
18:43Now, who knows?
18:45She may not even make it to Oregon.
18:46Sorry to wake you, Dr. Patel.
18:52I got your name from the margins of a medical record.
18:55Did you happen to see a patient named Max Bowers while you were volunteering at a pop-up clinic in rural Maine?
19:01You've never been to Maine.
19:04Wrong, Dr. Patel.
19:06No, sorry.
19:09Enjoy your sleep.
19:09Are you really trying to change?
19:25I go to group therapy two times a week.
19:28I sit in a circle with a revolving group of American psychoproxies.
19:33A month ago, the woman sitting next to me got arrested in the middle of a session.
19:36I just say things about myself.
19:46It's excruciating.
19:49I'm trying.
19:54Say something.
19:56If I want people to think I was different, that all sounds like a good way to do it.
20:01If everything I do is some mastermind chess campaign, if I'm just faking it no matter what,
20:06then I can't win, can I?
20:11I'm not evil.
20:12I didn't betray you.
20:14You betrayed the team.
20:16You should have said something.
20:18We could have helped you.
20:19I was being blackmailed.
20:22Some guy in a polo shirt who turned out to be no less than James Moriarty
20:26had information that could send me to prison for life.
20:28He asked me to pour some powder into a jar.
20:32I had no idea that would hurt Stevens.
20:35When I found out, I did what I had to do.
20:38And then I got fired, and the rest of you turned your backs on me.
20:41Everyone.
20:42But especially you.
20:45Especially me.
20:45I miss you.
20:52You're gone from my life.
20:54You're banging Stevens Croft.
20:55I don't even get to hear how that's going.
20:59I don't have a lot of friends.
21:02I don't have any friends.
21:05So maybe I'm always planning nine moves ahead, or maybe I just miss you.
21:09You don't look like a doctor.
21:25I'm not.
21:27I'm a nursing student.
21:32Shinwell Johnson.
21:35Best perhaps if you regard me as...
21:38the ambassador of kindness for the Holmes Clinic.
21:42You don't look kind.
21:45And you don't look 30, love.
21:48Isn't the world full of whimsy and surprise?
21:52I'll bring a message from Dr. Watson,
21:55who wishes you to remain here at U-Hop as our guest.
22:00We've been over this.
22:01Yeah, all right.
22:02You haven't heard this bit yet.
22:03Listen.
22:06All right.
22:07Sorry.
22:08Dr. Watson has analysed your genome.
22:13There's no better set of eyes out there.
22:16You've even reached out to a whole bevy of colleagues.
22:20This syndrome that affects you hasn't even been named yet,
22:25but it ain't unique, neither.
22:30You're not alone in this world, Miss Maggs.
22:32Stop it.
22:34Don't say that.
22:35All right.
22:35Hang on.
22:35Hang on.
22:36Hey, hey, hey.
22:37Look.
22:39There are other people just like you out there somewhere.
22:44That is a promise from Dr. Watson.
22:48The thing is, if you leave this morning, he can't help you.
22:57You'll never get to meet them.
22:59Hey.
23:00Hey.
23:14Hey.
23:14All-nighter?
23:16You need an infusion of caffeine and carb-laden pastries.
23:19Come on.
23:20This will buy me about an hour.
23:21Mm-hmm.
23:22Yeah.
23:23You getting anywhere?
23:24Well, I've called in favors on three continents,
23:26and, um, I don't know, something will shake loose.
23:31Okay.
23:31Hey.
23:33Okay.
23:33I'm Lena.
23:36About Micah, I, um, I get it.
23:40I do.
23:40It's a big deal.
23:41I, you know, introducing a man to his son,
23:44and for me, I just,
23:47I shouldn't have thrown it out there so casually.
23:50Thanks.
23:51Felt kind of weird.
23:53I can't lie.
23:54You good.
23:55I mean, these last few days, I don't know.
23:58You're gone in the morning, and you're not always there when we talk.
24:04Did something change with you?
24:06No, no.
24:06No, it's, uh, I'm good.
24:08No, seriously, I'm good.
24:09It's old habits, I guess.
24:11I promise that, uh, I'll do better.
24:15You're doing fine.
24:18You're doing great, actually.
24:20Just be here.
24:25Oh, uh, uh, sorry to interrupt.
24:28Oh, you two looking for a hairbrush?
24:30We stayed up all night for you, and we found Dr. Patel.
24:32That might not sound like much of an accomplishment,
24:34but there are a lot of Dr. Patels.
24:36The Dr. Patel, who we just talked to,
24:38he treated Max at a pop-up clinic eight months ago.
24:40She was complaining of fever and fatigue all the way back then.
24:42We ran down an ER visit from four months ago.
24:45Same symptoms.
24:45Fever for eight months?
24:47That's not consistent with lymphoma.
24:48That's why we're here, instead of looking for a hairbrush.
24:51Max never had a biopsy,
24:52and if she did, based on what we're seeing...
24:54It can come back negative.
24:55She doesn't have cancer.
24:56This is something else.
25:00You're not with Max?
25:01Young lady asked for three shots of espresso piping hot.
25:05Everything okay?
25:05Better than okay.
25:06She didn't have cancer.
25:08So we have some...
25:10Where's Max?
25:12Where's she?
25:13Shinwell, you are kind.
25:21You're also full of it.
25:22It's just me, eight billion people, and me.
25:27Tell Dr. Watson to take care.
25:30She's gone, gov.
25:32Max is gone.
25:33Where's Watson?
25:42With Shinwell, outside looking for Max.
25:46Did he say what he wanted from us?
25:52Let's assume security's on top of the search at UHA.
25:55We've got two problems here.
25:57We had two problems last night.
25:59Now our patient's missing.
26:00I'm getting three, but feel free to check my math.
26:03I get three, too.
26:04No notes.
26:06Wait, I have one note.
26:07Max Bowers was never officially our patient.
26:10Wait, I have a note and a question.
26:11Are you pretending to be Watson right now?
26:12Because you are definitely not Ingrid.
26:14Watson's not here.
26:15I'm trying to help.
26:16That's the not Ingrid part.
26:18Problem one.
26:19If Max doesn't have lymphoma, what's wrong with her?
26:22Problem two.
26:23Where is she?
26:24On the way to Crater Lake.
26:25That's 2,500 miles away.
26:27Max's car is impounded.
26:28The frame's bent to hell.
26:29She has no ID, no money.
26:31She's also not her patient.
26:32She checked out against medical advice.
26:34She didn't want any help.
26:37Sorry, I was doing Ingrid.
26:39The real Ingrid.
26:42This woman's been an outcast her whole life.
26:46No one sees her for who she really is.
26:49And the second they do, they recoil and walk away.
26:54Medicine has failed Max Bowers over and over again.
26:58If we were in Hershey's, anyone in this room, including me, would have quit a long time ago.
27:03Max is tired, but there's fight there.
27:06And we have to help her find it.
27:08Okay, that was like Watson, but with your own spin.
27:14That was good.
27:15I was headed to the lab.
27:17We got samples from Max when she was under.
27:19Figured I'd dig into a diagnosis.
27:23Hello?
27:24Crofts?
27:26You're in the search party.
27:28Where would you go if you were Max?
27:30On it, ma'am.
27:31Sir.
27:33Whoever you are.
27:36Max is anemic.
27:36I can tell just by eyeballing it.
27:39Two few red blood cells and insanely low platelets.
27:42She made two complaints about hand pain and stiffness five months apart.
27:46Fever's been consistent for nearly a year now.
27:48Max tells every doctor she sees about how fatigued she is.
27:52We should send an ANA.
27:53I can compliment C3 and C4, not to mention inflammatory markers and a urinalysis.
27:58Max has a lupus.
28:00I'm concerned for it.
28:02We'll see what the tests say.
28:03Don't give me that bless your heart concern thing.
28:05You just diagnosed the patient with a great imitator.
28:07Rufus bitch.
28:08It's great, by the way, being with Stevens.
28:18Generally, great, because that's not what I asked.
28:21I know what you asked.
28:26It's great.
28:29There's like a whole other Stevens.
28:30The man has appetites.
28:33Really?
28:34He has a viking hunt in there, an especially open-minded viking.
28:39And he's naturally blessed, if you follow.
28:43Really?
28:44They should make a mold.
28:46It would sell.
28:48That means Adam is blessed.
28:51I guess it does.
28:53Genetically speaking.
28:55I should learn not to ask so many questions.
29:01Bolo at Morningside Heights.
29:03It's going to be for a suspect in a 10-16.
29:05Suspect owns firearms.
29:07Look, we're going to see responsive caution.
29:09Copy for 1-3-7.
29:11No sign of Max?
29:14Oh, I can, uh, wait outside.
29:16If you want to.
29:17Something you haven't seen a thousand times before.
29:20I didn't keep count.
29:22Nice outfit.
29:24Party on the top, business on the bottom.
29:26You stayed up all night, huh?
29:28It's almost 8 p.m., John.
29:29You should go home.
29:30I got you.
29:31And I, um, I'm just keeping it here off of Max.
29:35I heard.
29:36You think you're the only one who can download a police scanner app?
29:41I got eight hours of sleep last night.
29:43I'll call you if I hear anything.
29:45Max is my patient, too, you know.
29:47No, you're right.
29:52I got you.
29:53Go sleep.
29:54You're right.
29:54Yeah.
29:54Patient unit, respond to a 1075 near the bridge at Sandcastle Drive.
29:58We need Child Protective Services on site.
30:01Copy 412.
30:02Why Child Protective Services?
30:04From what I'm hearing, a 10-year-old tried to steal a car.
30:06Hey, sir, you're going to have to turn around and go back the way you came there.
30:16Officer, my name is Dr. John Watson.
30:18That woman you arrested?
30:19Woman.
30:20Well, it's complicated Max is older than she looks.
30:22I've done some work with a homicide detective at a station in Oakland.
30:26Well, Straub, my condolences.
30:30Listen, I'm sorry with you.
30:30I'd like to talk to the patient.
30:32You know, honestly, I'm glad you're here.
30:33The kid's kind of freaking out.
30:35Hey, let him through.
30:36Let him through.
30:38He's over here.
30:39Max.
30:41Max, ask some news.
30:43Max, listen.
30:44Ask some news.
30:45You don't have cancer.
30:46I believe you have lupus.
30:48Max, this is good.
30:50I...
30:50I can't get Aaron.
30:54I need an ambulance now!
30:56I got you, Max.
30:58I got you.
31:04Wait, stop.
31:05I don't want to go to the hospital.
31:08Stop.
31:08I don't want to go to the hospital.
31:09I don't want to go to the hospital.
31:11Hey, Max, you can go anywhere you want once you're back when you see it, okay?
31:14No!
31:15Stop!
31:15I am an adult.
31:16I am 30.
31:17I do not want this.
31:18I don't want this.
31:20You know, hey, give me five minutes with the patient, please, okay?
31:22Give me five minutes!
31:23Okay, five.
31:24All right, come on, guys.
31:30We'll back it up.
31:34It's fine.
31:35This is good.
31:36Sooner than I expected, but I like this spot.
31:40The lights are pretty.
31:42I'm good.
31:43No, no, you don't have to die tonight, Max.
31:45If you let us help you, we can ease your breathing and get your lupus under control.
31:49So I can go on living.
31:52My mom's gone, Watson.
31:55She collapsed in the middle of a shift.
31:57I'm sorry to hear that, Max.
31:58She left me $7,100.
32:02That and her ashes are in the back of my Mustang.
32:07I'm alone.
32:08No, we don't know if that's true.
32:09Stop lying!
32:10I didn't lie.
32:11I made a bet.
32:12When we found out you had cancer, I was so caught up into your symptoms, I barely had time to analyze your genome.
32:18Well, I did that today.
32:20All day I did that.
32:21I believe you have a mutation to your KISS-1R gene.
32:24And if I'm right, that causes a form of hypogonetism like I've never even seen before.
32:30We know what to look for now, Max.
32:32I can tell every geneticist in the world what to look for to, and that's one gene.
32:37You just have to focus on one gene.
32:41Now, I can't promise you that there's someone else.
32:43I can't.
32:45And even if there is, it would take months to find that person, even years.
32:49But I can promise you this, Max.
32:52If you refuse treatment, if you just, if you want to die tonight, you'll never get to find out.
33:05So make the bed, Max.
33:08Let's do it together.
33:16All right.
33:17Oh, thank God.
33:20The patient can play with the shortness of breath when stats are in the 80s.
33:23The breathing sounds are administered on the right, likely due to plural effusion.
33:26Nurse Reyes, I need the portable ultrasound and a fluorescent thesis kit.
33:30Yes, Dr. Buston.
33:32Try to shorten your breathing.
33:33Try to shorten the breathing.
33:34Okay, Max, you have fluid in your lungs.
33:44I need you to lean forward as far as you can, okay?
33:46I'll just tell him, Dr. Buston.
33:48Go away.
33:49I want to be alone with my doctor.
33:52Doctors.
33:52Doctors.
33:53Visualizing her lungs now, there's a significant effusion near the right lower lobe.
34:05Understood.
34:13Like I said, I got you, Max.
34:14I got you, okay?
34:16Nice outfit.
34:16You know why I swear so much, Dr. Buston?
34:20It's how you get people to see you for who you really are.
34:23Smart guy.
34:25I'll go on and do it then.
34:27Saved my life.
34:30Just heard from Watson.
34:35Max is responding to the steroids.
34:36In a few days, we can discharge her without sending in the cavalry.
34:39That's great.
34:40I'm glad.
34:41I did well here.
34:42Feels good to be back.
34:43Good night.
34:50What's my diagnosis?
34:54I shouldn't have said it.
34:55It just slipped out.
34:56You think there's something there?
34:58It's none of my business.
34:59I have some, um, mixed feelings towards you.
35:03Some pretty well-earned mixed feelings.
35:07But you're the smartest doctor here.
35:09Uh, John Watson works at this clinic.
35:11I know he does.
35:13What is it?
35:15What do you see?
35:16Have you never been diagnosed with depression?
35:20Depression?
35:21That's it?
35:21No, don't do that.
35:23Don't dismiss it.
35:24Stevens, the irritability, the black moods, the voice in your head that tears you down all day long.
35:29You don't know what's inside my head.
35:31Am I wrong?
35:31Look, major depressive disorder.
35:36Is it the end of the world?
35:38Of course not.
35:40But is it a burden pretty much every second of every single day?
35:44Yeah.
35:45Look, I'm just one doctor.
35:47But since you asked, you have a diagnosis.
35:49People like us.
35:57Maybe we can get better.
36:00Maybe we can't.
36:02I don't know.
36:06Ask me in the air.
36:07Heck, right?
36:21Hey, Ingrid.
36:22What's up?
36:22I came to check out the clinic where you work.
36:24Yeah, we don't just let people wander around in there.
36:29Call ahead next time.
36:30We'll still say no, but call ahead.
36:32I opened up a startup incubator here in town.
36:35Connect the tech kids at CMU with money people out west.
36:40Wow, cool.
36:44Seems like you have some interesting things going on behind those doors.
36:48I'd like to learn more.
36:49I met you in group therapy for sociopaths.
36:58This is not the beginning of a business relationship.
37:01We'll just get coffee, in that case.
37:05It's not the beginning of any kind of relationship.
37:09Nice to see you.
37:10Don't come back.
37:12I'm here to soft now.
37:19Come back again, and maybe I'll kill you.
37:24Wouldn't be the first time.
37:28I want details on that.
37:29I want details on that.
37:49I want details on that.
38:14I want details on that.
38:15John Watson?
38:16I understand, yeah.
38:19No, no, no, I'm good. I'm awake.
38:21How are things at your clinic?
38:25I agree. Yes, Max Powers is definitely a unique patient.
38:31Yeah, there she is.
38:33Now, the frame is a little iffy,
38:35but the guy says it's drivable.
38:38And that's it?
38:39You're just gonna let me drive away?
38:41Well, your labs are good. Your hand feels strong.
38:44Again, I don't recommend you driving with a cast.
38:46Again, heard.
38:49Enjoy Crater Lake.
38:52I don't really know what to say.
38:54You don't have to say anything.
38:59But,
39:01if you're willing to stay around Pittsburgh just a little while longer,
39:05there's someone who'd like to meet you.
39:11Max,
39:13this is Pauline Batiste.
39:15She came all the way from Sioux Falls, South Dakota to meet you.
39:19Why?
39:21I have a mutation on my...
39:24What's it called again?
39:25Your kiss went on, Gene.
39:27How old are you?
39:2941.
39:33I just turned 41.
39:34Pauline.
39:44We have so much to talk about.
39:47We have everything to talk about.
39:53Will you wait for just one second?
39:54I will wait forever if I have to.
40:01You kept your promise.
40:02It was a bet.
40:03We made it together.
40:10I don't say this to every patient, but you know what, Max?
40:13You're welcome.
40:15You're welcome.
