00:01Previously, I'm Doc.
00:02You weaponized my memory loss.
00:04I'm so sorry.
00:05Your license will most likely be suspended.
00:08My folks are both cops.
00:09I am never how-towing to you again.
00:12Oh, my God.
00:15That's him?
00:16That's Hannah's father.
00:17The crime is that our dad is dead,
00:19and we are a long way from an eye for an eye.
00:21We killed a kid.
00:23I don't know.
00:24Find somewhere else to go.
00:26Charlie.
00:27Charlie, come on.
00:28Look at me!
00:28What did you do?
00:34The respirators are dropping again.
00:36You gave him Narcan?
00:37Fifteen minutes ago.
00:38We may need to redose.
00:39What else did he take?
00:40Special K.
00:41White powder, so meth.
00:42Or maybe cocaine.
00:43Pinpoint people, so fentanyl for sure.
00:45Stacking effect.
00:46There's not much we can do until we get to Eastside.
00:48Oh, he's aspirating.
00:52To be him.
00:53Dispatch is routing the west side.
00:55No, no, Eastside's five minutes out.
00:56Not an option.
00:57They're on diversion.
00:58Closest open trauma is west side.
01:00Sorry.
01:12She's tacky.
01:17Avian RT.
01:18Give me six milligrams adenosine push.
01:21You have an abnormal heartbeat.
01:22That's why you're having the chest pain.
01:25Are you sure this isn't amyloidosia?
01:28You mean amyloidosis?
01:30Chest pain, fast heart rate, trouble breathing.
01:32All of which indicate AVNRT.
01:34But in the ambulance.
01:35Are you really going to start telling me what the paramedic said?
01:37There's a reason they bring patients here and don't treat them in a U-Haul.
01:41I'm sorry.
01:41I wasn't.
01:42Did you put into that little device of yours that your mother has normal voltage on her
01:46EKG?
01:47No.
01:48Would you like me to treat you or your daughter in the internet?
01:51I'm good either way.
01:52I'm sorry.
01:53I'm sure she's just scared and I'm trying to help.
01:56I don't need help.
02:04Are you with him now?
02:05Yes.
02:05He's in the ICU.
02:07Just tell me when you're going to be here mom.
02:09Will he be okay?
02:10I don't know.
02:10I don't know if he's going to be okay.
02:11Just take his hand and get here.
02:12Hannah.
02:14I heard what happened.
02:15Do you have a history?
02:16On and off since my father died.
02:18But he's been clean for a while now.
02:20His tolerance must have been so low.
02:22He has diffuse brain edema.
02:25I don't know how long he was unconscious.
02:27We'll keep him sedated the next 24 or 48 hours.
02:30Minimize the risk of herniation.
02:32Then we can try to bring him out.
02:36Obviously, you won't work today.
02:40I'm glad he's here.
02:42You're family, Hannah.
02:44We got you.
02:50She was trying to sabotage me and she killed a patient.
02:54It's our understanding that Dr. Clark is in the ICU right now with her brother.
02:57Overdosed last night.
02:58He's in a medically induced coma.
03:00And you're certain he was the hacker?
03:01The FBI grabbed his voice off an Instagram post, compared it with the AI recordings.
03:06It's a clear match.
03:07They'd be arresting him now if he wasn't unconscious.
03:09But as of yet, there's no proof Hannah Clark is involved.
03:12You think it's a coincidence that this all started when she got here?
03:16She walked into my office pretending to be concerned about a lethal dose of lorazepam
03:20that supposedly Amy prescribed when actually she was trying to frame her.
03:25But that's not proof.
03:26Her brother changed the dosage on my account.
03:28We don't have it yet.
03:29Not definitively.
03:30Well, you better get it before we act prematurely.
03:33And we don't want her being perp walked through internal medicine.
03:36You'll forgive me if that's not my primary concern.
03:38The FBI is surveilling her on our security cams.
03:42They're content to wait for now.
03:43And you believe all of this is happening because you fired her father and he subsequently killed himself?
03:48HR reports indicate that he quit.
03:50But there was clearly some kind of conflict between us.
03:53And I have a memory of him yelling at me in my office and swiping a photograph off my desk.
03:59We understand there was a formal complaint by him against Dr. Larson a week before he resigned.
04:03That's correct.
04:04I discussed this with Dr. Larson at the time.
04:06And she indicated she was trying to help him but wouldn't tell me what the issue was.
04:11I'm not sure why you skew that with skepticism, Edie. Dr. Larson doesn't lie.
04:16But you don't remember why you forced him to quit her if it was defensible.
04:20What?
04:21What?
04:22No.
04:24And how about you, Dr. Honda?
04:26Well, I wasn't working here at the time.
04:27But you were still married to Dr. Larson.
04:30There was no discussion of it that I can recall.
04:32What about you, Dr. Ridley?
04:33Never heard the name Brian Clark until this morning.
04:36I think we have the picture here.
04:38If you wouldn't mind waiting outside for a few minutes, we'll need to discuss next steps.
04:44And, Amy, under no circumstances are you to confront Hannah.
04:48Understood.
04:54They kicked me out, so that's always a good sign.
04:56Okay, what else could they possibly say to you except, we're so sorry this happened and we'll take care of
05:00it.
05:01They were asking me about Brian, which I, of course, can't help them with.
05:05Do you have any insight from that time?
05:07All you told me was that you had a run-in with him, he quit, and then he died.
05:10You never even said it was suicide.
05:11I must not have wanted to admit it to you.
05:13Well, he had serious problems.
05:15People don't kill themselves just because they lose their jobs.
05:20They are launching an internal investigation into Brian Clark's departure.
05:25Wait, what?
05:25The size of the scandal is going to be enormous.
05:28From a labor relations, PR, and legal point of view, they need to see if it's fruit from the poisonous
05:33tree.
05:34Okay, what does that even mean?
05:35They're worried about Amy's history.
05:37When the FBI arrests Hannah, the first thing the press will ask is why'd she do it, which will boomerang
05:41back on the hospital.
05:42So they're saying if Amy mistreated the man, then maybe his daughter was provoked.
05:47Oh, I'm done with these people.
05:49Well, apparently he's fine with them.
05:50Give me a break, Joan.
05:51If I put my thumb on the scale, I'll have no credibility.
05:54Oh, sure.
05:55So we appease the witch hunt.
06:01Apparently the investigator's already in the building.
06:03What?
06:03You won't work today, but stick around to be questioned.
06:09Well, clearly his hands are tied.
06:13I need to find out what happened.
06:16Myself.
06:21I'm concerned about anoxic brain injury and cardiac liability.
06:25Meth, coke, fentanyl, and ketamine?
06:26Yeah.
06:29He wanted to hurt himself, that's for sure.
06:32What did you say to her?
06:34That we're family.
06:35She can't know.
06:37Do you think you can manage your emotions around this?
06:40Yeah, I mean, right now he's a patient, needs to be saved.
06:42She's his sister.
06:43Good.
06:43Because we need to bring him back, and you need to figure out whatever you can from her about why
06:49their father resigned.
06:50She trusts you.
06:51She looks up to you.
06:52Okay, but why do we need to-
06:53Because the board is trying to scapegoat Amy about this whole mess.
06:57We cannot let that happen.
07:09Dr. Ridley said she was assigning you to us.
07:13I don't know what I'll do if anything happens to him.
07:16We're here for you, okay?
07:18We all are.
07:39Is Julie here?
07:41Uh, no.
07:42She just got called down to admin.
07:44Don't know why.
07:46Um, what about TJ?
07:47Has he started yet?
07:48I don't know.
07:51I'll do anything for you.
07:52You know that.
07:53Well, it's not you, actually.
07:54I need help from your father.
07:56Like detective work?
07:57It's better if I don't tell you.
08:04Hey, son.
08:05Hey, pops.
08:06You know how you always wish you had some way to pay back Amy?
08:08You think of something?
08:10Yeah, yeah.
08:10Sounds like today's the day.
08:15Hey, Randy.
08:16Amy.
08:17Understand that everything we say here today will be recorded but must remain confidential,
08:22right?
08:22This is a formal investigation sanctioned by the board of Westside Hospital and CMO Michael
08:27Hamda with regard to the recent hack of Dr. Amy Larson.
08:33Are you prepared to answer some questions?
08:35I am.
08:35Yes.
08:36So this will be regarding Dr. Larson's conduct during her time as Chief of Internal Medicine.
08:41As I understand it, you were a nurse in that department for the entire duration of her reign?
08:45I was.
08:49Shall we begin?
08:59Did you start my patient on furosemide?
09:02Yeah.
09:02Her O2 sats were dropping.
09:04She has chronic kidney failure.
09:06I checked her lab.
09:07She looked like she could handle a gentle diuresis.
09:09She's already at an ascent hameter.
09:10You just doubled down on renal risk.
09:12Which is why I started her on vasopressin.
09:15That raised her blood pressure but didn't address her heart failure or low ejection fraction.
09:20So what did she need, Dr. Clark?
09:23Do you have any idea what you're doing?
09:27An eindentrope.
09:29Now I have to explain to her daughter why she has a tube jammed down her trachea when she was
09:34turning a corner this morning.
09:36Lucy.
09:377-0-E-T-T.
09:38Autonomate and sucks.
09:39Stat.
09:40This is the big leagues, Brian.
09:42If you're gonna bring your double-A game, the least you could do is consult me when you're covering one
09:45of my patients.
09:48As I understand it, there was a pattern of behavior which rankled colleagues, patients, and their families.
09:53She could be tough.
09:55Is that the case with Alex Diaz?
09:59You're gonna blame that on her?
10:00Well, it's been indicated to me that her negative interactions with Mr. Diaz were the primary motivation for taking hostages,
10:06including you.
10:07Six years ago, you talked us out of the transplant.
10:11He was trying to save his daughter.
10:14But he blamed Dr. Larson for how his daughter's care was managed.
10:17He did.
10:18And he was wrong.
10:23What can you tell me about Dr. Brian Clark?
10:26I understand you were on duty the day he resigned.
10:28I was.
10:29There seems to be a question about whether Dr. Larson actually forced him to resign.
10:33He swiped everything off her desk in anger.
10:36You don't do that and get to keep your job.
10:38Yeah, but you didn't hear what was said in that office.
10:41No.
10:41So it's just as likely that he swiped her desk after she fired him, which could indicate that he'd been
10:46treated unfairly.
10:48There were troubling stories about him from some of the other nurses.
10:52Well, unfortunately, rumors don't help me much, but I do appreciate you taking the time.
10:56Now, if you would please sign this, it's just an NDA.
11:07And did he ask you about Brian Clark?
11:10How do you know that?
11:11Hannah and her brother are the ones coming after me.
11:14What?
11:15I think they blame me for their father's death.
11:18This investigator is trying to say you brought this all on yourself.
11:22What did he say to you?
11:23I told him I saw Dr. Clark sweep everything off your desk the day he resigned, but as soon as
11:28I mentioned anything negative about him, the guy shut down the interview.
11:31Even when I told him there were stories from other nurses, he didn't ask who or what they were.
11:35What stories?
11:36Apparently, Dr. Clark walked out in the middle of a procedure.
11:40He disappeared for like an hour.
11:42Which nurse told you that?
11:43I don't know.
11:44I heard it third hand.
11:45What was the name of the patient?
11:48Do you want me to ask around?
11:49No.
11:49You've done enough.
11:51I think there's another way I can find out.
11:53Yes.
11:54That's me and Dr. Clark.
11:56So, do you remember this moment based on the body language?
12:02I know you think I have it in for Dr. Larson, but I wasn't trying to get her into trouble.
12:06Just tell us what happened, Liz.
12:10Okay.
12:11Dr. Clark noticed that I was confused about this dosage Dr. Larson prescribed and-
12:16I need to talk to-
12:22Can I speak to you outside?
12:26Excuse me.
12:31What was that?
12:32You know I can't discuss it.
12:34Well, apparently, Brian Clark walked out in the middle of a procedure four years ago.
12:38That must be part of the reason that I asked him to resign.
12:41I need to find out how far back our security footage goes.
12:44Six months on our hard drives, and it's not archived anywhere.
12:48Then I need to see the procedure notes from the last year he was here.
12:51You're the subject of the investigation.
12:53Well, I'm not just gonna sit here and let them take me down.
12:56Did you really think I was just gonna roll over?
12:59Tell me what you think you're gonna find, and I'll look for it.
13:01Will you?
13:02Because I didn't see you standing up for me much earlier in the conference room.
13:05If it helps get at the truth, it's my responsibility.
13:09So, yes.
13:17This has gotta be really hard on you.
13:19You know, after what happened to your dad.
13:22What do you mean?
13:24Did someone say something to you about how he died?
13:27No.
13:27No, I'm sorry.
13:28Where's Dr. Larson?
13:29Does she know about this?
13:30You know, I'm not really sure.
13:32Charlie!
13:33Okay, please Hannah just stay back.
13:35I saw the wide complex tachycardia on the monitor.
13:37Pulse is strong.
13:38BP's holding.
13:39That's a good start.
13:40Okay, he's hemodynamically stable.
13:41Rhythm is regular and monomorphic.
13:42We don't need a shotgun.
13:43Let's just get him on a volcano, my drift.
13:45Electricity's faster, and we need a sinus rhythm now.
13:47And the meds are biased time.
13:48And risk me fib no.
13:50It could be something simple like hyperkalemia.
13:52Which we will know as soon as I shock him, Hannah, and you are not to weigh in on this.
13:56Charging to 100.
13:59Clear.
14:04This is the big leagues.
14:05Brian, if you're gonna bring your double A game, the least you could do is consult me when you're covering
14:09one of my patients.
14:14I'll get him up to speed and we'll talk about discharge of them.
14:17Richard?
14:20Michael.
14:21Hey, how you been?
14:22Fine. Good.
14:24I miss you guys.
14:25I know.
14:25It's been too long.
14:27I've asked Amy about the four of us getting together for dinner.
14:30Yeah, she's...
14:32She's still having a hard time.
14:33I know. I'm sorry.
14:34Listen, I just saw her having a conflict with one of the other doctors.
14:39Which one?
14:40Um, yeah, I don't know his name.
14:42Well, unfortunately, she's been having conflicts with almost everyone these days.
14:46Yeah.
14:47And I was wondering if that was par for the course.
14:50She's changing, Michael.
14:52She needs help.
14:56I heard Dr. Ridley was here. Have you seen her?
15:00She may be the one person who could get through to her.
15:03Go on.
15:06Blood pressure's cratering and look at his chest.
15:08His lungs can take it.
15:10We need to keep his ventilation rate going to get oxygen to his brain.
15:15His heart rate's all over the place.
15:17I mean, do you see his hands? How swollen they are?
15:19Yeah. It's the fentanyl.
15:21It's the only explanation for the swelling and the ICP.
15:24Okay, look, I try to avoid cutting, but I really think we gotta operate to relieve the pressure.
15:28We're not going into his brain until we finish this round of hyperventilation
15:31and then bomb him with mannitol and hypertonic saline.
15:34But I'll put him on portable monitors and a ventilator after we finish this course.
15:42Were you able to get anything out of her about her father?
15:46No.
15:47She keeps asking about Amy, wondering why she hasn't checked in on her.
15:50Oh.
15:50Let her wonder.
15:51We're not putting them in the room together.
15:53Also, Sonia texted me.
15:54Hmm?
15:55Apparently, the investigator called her in.
15:57This will be your chance to stick it to Amy once and for all, then.
16:12Dr. Matra, thank you for coming by on your day off.
16:15CMO says, come, I come.
16:17I don't suppose he mentioned to you what we'll be discussing?
16:21No, but I'd imagine it has something to do with our security issues.
16:25I've been told a patient died as a result.
16:29Wake up.
16:29Can you please just wake up, Mommy?
16:31Wake up!
16:32Come on!
16:34There was a test that got lost in the system.
16:37It arrived too late.
16:39Now, you're aware that Dr. Larson has been the specific target?
16:41I am.
16:42Yes.
16:43Any thoughts about that?
16:45I'm not sure I follow you.
16:47Well, when you were a medical student, she told you in a punitive moment
16:51to pursue a different line of work seems to be the stuff of West Side lore.
16:58But somebody is this blatantly negligent.
17:01It usually means they're trying to fail.
17:03Yes, she did say that.
17:06And I also know that you were one of the hostages held at gunpoint by a disgruntled patient of hers.
17:10Yes.
17:11And I'm told that you blamed Dr. Larson for what happened that day.
17:15Um, by who?
17:16It's one of your colleagues.
17:20And what did this colleague say, exactly?
17:23That you felt Dr. Larson's bedside manner was provocative.
17:27That patients and other doctors often felt bullied by her.
17:34You were petty and vindictive and freaking inferior, Doctor.
17:38Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
17:41I don't recall saying that.
17:46I found two potential incidents.
17:48The first was an upper endoscopy.
17:50Notes indicate the procedure started at 10.46 a.m.
17:54but didn't conclude until 1.47 p.m.
17:56Three hours? With no complications?
17:59Should have been in and out in 90.
18:00Who was the nurse on that procedure?
18:03Lucy Yen.
18:04Now, here's the other one.
18:06Bronchoscopy that lasted four hours.
18:08There was a small hemorrhage, but...
18:10No, that would add, like, 20 minutes?
18:11That's what I thought.
18:13I'll give these both to the investigator.
18:15Ask him to dig into them.
18:17He's not gonna do that, Michael.
18:18What makes you say that?
18:19I talked to one of the people he interviewed.
18:21You're not supposed to be talking to anyone.
18:23They told him about Brian's problems,
18:25and he did everything he could to avoid getting information about it.
18:29Joan was right.
18:30The hunt is on, and I'm the witch.
18:38And you were in the ICU that day?
18:41Yes.
18:42And what did you witness?
18:45Dr. Larson yelling at Dr. Clark.
18:50Did Dr. Clark leave in the middle of it?
18:52This is four years ago.
18:54I understand, but you'd remember if a doctor walked out of a procedure.
18:58This might have happened with someone else, but it wasn't this procedure, and it wasn't with me.
19:02Well, there were a lot of rumors back then about it.
19:05Do you remember which nurse was there when it happened?
19:07I'm sorry. I really don't want to get involved in any of this.
19:09No, you were just in there with him, so you're already involved.
19:13Just... I mean, what did he ask you?
19:16Dr. Larson.
19:17Lucy, they're coming after me. Please.
19:23There was a time a few years ago, you yelled at Dr. Clark in front of everyone in the ICU.
19:29Yelled at him about what?
19:31I don't remember exactly, but you said he didn't know what he was doing and to stay away from your
19:36patients and things like that.
19:37And this was right before he resigned?
19:39No. This was a year before. You weren't even chief yet.
19:42So we were just equal colleagues?
19:45So what are they trying to say? I mean, that... that isn't even a power dynamic.
19:49I only know they were asking how you treated him.
19:52And I had to tell them exactly what I saw. There were just too many other people there.
19:56I understand. I wouldn't ask you to lie from me.
19:59I should get back to work now.
20:17Good afternoon. Thanks for coming. Please have a seat.
20:43You told Brian he's in the minor leagues in front of how many people?
20:47He almost killed my patient. Did he tell you how many people saw that?
20:51So that's how it is now? Humiliate everyone on your way to the top?
20:57Your feelings can't really still be hurt from the other day.
21:02What's happening to you, Amy?
21:06Ever since Danny died?
21:09Is this really who you want to become? Because this is not who you are?
21:13No. And who am I?
21:15You're in pain.
21:17And you're acting out on everyone because of it.
21:25Do you believe Brian Clark was an inferior doctor?
21:27No, I do not.
21:29And yet, shortly after Dr. Larson became chief, he was gone.
21:33You think she fired him?
21:34Well, it's clear she asked him to leave, but because of her memory issues, she can't tell us why.
21:39Well, at the time, she said that he quit because of COVID burnout.
21:43But you didn't believe that?
21:45He had a son in college and a daughter in med school.
21:48So, no, it didn't sound plausible.
21:51And did he ever talk to you about what happened between them?
21:53At this point, I'm going to advise my client to withhold any more information until you can be clearer about
21:59the nature of this investigation.
22:01But I already told you this has nothing to do with the pending Dixon lawsuit.
22:04Nonetheless, we're here as a courtesy, and that courtesy has limits.
22:13We are trying to determine if Dr. Clark was dismissed unfairly.
22:18And why now? Money's been dead for years.
22:21That I can't say.
22:29Are you asking if Dr. Larson was vindictive?
22:33Was she?
22:39Brian sent me an email a few weeks before he died.
22:43I'm assuming you'd like to see it?
22:47Laura, I think we probably knew each other, but you don't remember.
22:51No.
22:52I was in internal medicine a couple of years.
22:54Oh.
22:55Transferred out of the department because of you.
22:58Okay.
22:59Yeah, I get it.
23:00You don't remember, so you've got no responsibility for it.
23:03What can I do for you?
23:06There was a bronchoscopy in 2020.
23:08The patient's name was Carl Harris, and the doctor was Brian Clark.
23:13Uh-huh.
23:14I knew him.
23:16The procedure went on for four hours, but the notes don't indicate any-
23:20He bolted.
23:21He did.
23:21Left right after sedation.
23:23Disappeared for over an hour.
23:25Almost botched it when he got back.
23:27He was so out of it.
23:28Out of it?
23:28How?
23:29Was he on drugs?
23:30No idea.
23:31But I came to you about it because he was a good man and he needed help.
23:35But instead you fired him, and then he killed himself.
23:40You didn't even come to the funeral.
23:42But that's who you were.
23:46But I can't speak to that, Laura, but this has to come out.
23:50The man is gone and resting in peace.
23:53We never had this conversation.
23:55And I'm not saying a word about this to anyone.
23:57Please.
24:04Oh my god.
24:05Oh my god, what's happening to him?
24:07It's okay, mom.
24:08They're gonna figure this out.
24:08Airways blocked by mucus blood.
24:10Okay, pupils dilated, unresponsive to the light.
24:13It's a subdural hematoma.
24:14And what does that mean?
24:15If his brain is swollen and compressed, they gotta do something to relieve the pressure.
24:18OR now.
24:18Let's go.
24:22It's gonna be you, right?
24:24You're gonna operate?
24:25Of course.
24:53I hear Brian Clark's wife is downstairs.
24:55Any chance I can get a crack at her?
24:57Her son's in surgery.
24:58I think that would be unseemly.
25:01Oh.
25:03Here's an email.
25:05Brian Clark to Richard Miller.
25:07It's pretty incriminating.
25:11Are you able to find a pattern of behavior?
25:13Oh, absolutely.
25:14And one overt instance of Dr. Larson bullying him
25:18in very public fashion.
25:20Apparently, Dr. Hamda was there when it happened,
25:23and Dr. Ridley was aware of it as well.
25:28Unbelievable.
25:29Am I questioning them,
25:30or is this a stone you want unturned?
25:35Because otherwise, why would that investigator have been here?
25:38I was just looking for an update.
25:39Hannah's brother's in surgery right now with Dr. Ridley.
25:41He's got a subdural hematoma.
25:43And did you find anything out?
25:44Apparently, I publicly humiliated Brian before he resigned,
25:47or I fired him, or whatever the hell happened.
25:51Do we have any idea what Richard told them?
25:53Richard?
25:54He was here.
25:55Amy saw him.
25:56They didn't tell me that.
25:57Well, I doubt they're telling you much of anything, Michael.
26:06Let me assure you that whatever can be done...
26:08You asked to see me?
26:09Ms. Nelson has some concerns regarding her mother's care.
26:13And they are?
26:13She was doing fine yesterday,
26:15and then I come back and she's got a tube down her throat.
26:18When I asked what happened, I heard there was an argument.
26:21Guess somebody made a big mistake.
26:24The course of treatment can change
26:26in a case as complicated as your mother's.
26:28Now you're not so cocky, are you?
26:29I understand it's disturbing to see her intubated,
26:32but I am confident that she is going to come through this.
26:35Well, I'm glad.
26:37Because if she doesn't, I'll be suing you for malpractice.
26:44I'm told the argument was between you and Dr. Clark,
26:47who was covering for you.
26:49He made what I felt was a mistake.
26:51And I raised my voice.
26:52But it was a judgment call.
26:54It certainly wasn't malpractice.
26:55Do I need to initiate a formal review?
26:58Absolutely not.
26:59She's my patient.
27:01The buck stops with me.
27:03Very good.
27:08She had a chance to throw Dr. Clark under the bus,
27:10and she didn't.
27:12At that moment there,
27:13that was when I decided to throw my full support
27:16behind her to succeed me.
27:17Because that is leadership and character.
27:21Mr. Crawford, would you mind if we had a word?
27:24Oh, I think we're done here, Dr. Numeroff.
27:29Appreciate your time.
27:34You gonna turn that off?
27:37Was there something you don't want on the record?
27:42You realize Richard Miller is an entirely unreliable witness?
27:47That he was terminated because he accidentally killed a patient
27:50and then tried to blame it on Dr. Larson?
27:51Yeah, I'm aware of the history.
27:53And there are questions of credibility about anyone I speak with.
27:57But Dr. Miller was a close friend of Brian Clark's,
27:59so it would have been irresponsible not to interview him.
28:01Particularly while you're still in the middle of settling the Dixon lawsuit.
28:05And what did Dr. Miller have to say?
28:06Well, it wasn't what he said,
28:08which I'd naturally take with a grain of salt,
28:11but what he had in writing,
28:13it doesn't look favorably upon Dr. Larson.
28:18As long as we're on the subject,
28:19I'd like to ask if you have any information yourself
28:21about the conflict between her and Dr. Clark.
28:24I know it was before your time,
28:26but you know a lot of the players and people talk to you.
28:29Like you said, it was before my time.
28:31But you were there when she abused him
28:33in front of a half dozen colleagues and patients.
28:35I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about.
28:37Uh, October 14th, 2019, in the ICU,
28:42she told him he wasn't good enough to be in the big leagues?
28:49Three other people remember you being there.
28:53This is the big leagues, Brian.
28:55If you're gonna bring your double-A game,
28:57the least you could do is consult me
28:58when you're covering one of my patients.
29:02Yes.
29:05I was there.
29:06And did you find her behavior appropriate?
29:14So what did she need?
29:17No.
29:19I didn't.
29:20And at that time,
29:21you also brought the incident to Dr. Ridley's attention
29:24because she also neglected to inform us of this.
29:46I can't believe this is where we are.
29:49I know.
29:51Is this all because what happened to your father?
29:55Or is it something I did?
29:56I tried to be there for you.
29:58You didn't do this, Mom.
30:00I did this.
30:02What do you mean?
30:06Hannah, what are you talking about?
30:09Nothing.
30:11Just...
30:11It's not your fault.
30:17Hannah and Charlie found their father three years ago.
30:20Gassed himself in his car.
30:22Oh, God.
30:23Charlie picked out a community college
30:25for drug possession and dealing.
30:26Invested for wire fraud and identity theft last year.
30:29Led out of that.
30:30Three months rehab at St. John's in 2023.
30:33Sounds like that didn't take.
30:34No known address, no registered vehicle.
30:36Inspired driver's license.
30:37What about Hannah?
30:39120,000, school loan debt.
30:41Stint at Roseville.
30:43The psychiatric facility?
30:4553 days.
30:46Tells me it was voluntary.
30:47Guess her HIPAA protections meant the hospital
30:49didn't know when they hired her.
30:51No, she would have had to lie about that.
30:53As for the father, pretty big money problems when he died.
30:57Liquidated retirement accounts.
30:58Defaulted on his second home mortgage.
31:00Maxed out four credit cards with no payment.
31:02So he was drowning?
31:03He drowned.
31:05Then the family fell apart.
31:06Looks like mom moved to Sacramento.
31:08She's working as a waitress.
31:10Let the kids fend for themselves.
31:11Dr. Larson?
31:15It looks like it's my turn in the firing squad.
31:18None of this came from me, okay?
31:20Yeah.
31:29Jewelers' forceps.
31:33Cushion reflex need to go quick.
31:48Suction.
31:53How'd it go?
31:54You could have scrubbed in on the surgery like we talked about.
31:57Hannah asked me to come in and see what's going on now.
31:59We relieved the cranial pressure, but we won't know his cognitive level until he wakes up.
32:04If he wakes up.
32:09Uh, it's, uh, adrenaline.
32:13Hey.
32:14Bit of carpal tunnel.
32:15She won't.
32:18I'm gonna brief Hannah.
32:33You know how Amy is now.
32:35She smelled competition, so she's coming after all contenders for her throne.
32:40Watch your back, my friend.
32:42It goes on to say you coerced him into resigning and he left fearing retribution and that you undercut it
32:50when other potential employers sought a recommendation.
32:52Well, you've caught me cornered because, you know, I can't remember.
32:56But it sounds to me like a guy who's trying to save face to a friend.
33:01Those words don't make facts.
33:03I'm wondering if you've been told about what seems to be a legendary incident where you dress down Dr. Clark
33:10in front of a room full of people.
33:12I have heard about it.
33:14Yes?
33:15Um, Dr. Hamda?
33:16Uh, no.
33:18Because he was there and he attested to the fact that your behavior was abusive.
33:26This morning he was trying to get to the bottom of Hannah Clark's behavior.
33:31Have you spent any time at all looking into that?
33:34That's not my purview.
33:35I'm only here to determine if Brian Clark was wrongfully terminated.
33:39As context for his daughter's recent actions.
33:42Okay, well, I can tell you that Brian had problems.
33:46He left a patient on the table in the middle of a procedure.
33:49And if he killed himself three months after leaving here, you have to ask yourself why.
33:53Were there drug problems?
33:54Money problems?
33:55It sounds like you know something you're not saying.
34:01He was nearly bankrupt.
34:02Defaulted on his mortgages, creditors chasing him.
34:05Where'd you get this information?
34:06I can't say.
34:07But if you were doing your job, you would have to see.
34:09So you're gonna continue to impugn the man when you don't even remember what happened.
34:13And then you're gonna sling unsubstantiated rumors at him when his 23-year-old son is downstairs in a coma.
34:18I gotta tell you, Dr. Larson, this behavior of yours right now, it doesn't reflect very well on how you
34:24acted back then.
34:24Not at all.
34:26Unfortunately, there's not much you've said that can help your cause.
34:29Because I'm not as credible as Dr. Miller, who's basically a pathological liar?
34:34Bring me something in writing or a witness who isn't biased in your favor.
34:38Well, at least I got my day in court.
34:59Amy, I know what you did, Hannah.
35:02I don't know-
35:03My daughter?
35:05You poisoned my daughter with your filthy lies.
35:08Amy.
35:09Hannah, what's going on?
35:10Tell her, Hannah.
35:11Go on, make your mother proud.
35:12You got your revenge.
35:14How does that feel?
35:15Is this where you wanted to be right now?
35:18What did you do?
35:20I ruined my life.
35:24And he destroyed his.
35:25They think that I fired your husband for no reason.
35:30But we both know that he had it coming, don't we?
35:32This is not how to do this.
35:37Oh my God, Charlie!
35:41It was for another ID.
35:4375 grams of mannitol.
35:44But I thought he was okay.
35:46I thought the surgery went well.
35:51Oh, Charlie!
35:53Stop.
35:53Look at his hands.
35:56That's not from the brain bleed.
35:58The weak arms, the head trauma, the swollen hands.
36:00You thought it was from the fentanyl, right?
36:02It's not.
36:03It's SIADH.
36:04She's right.
36:05Stop the fluids.
36:0615 milligrams tolvapton.
36:08Do it.
36:08Stat.
36:15I'm so sorry, Amy.
36:20I'm so sorry.
36:34I can't believe it.
36:36I mean, I just...
36:38I can't believe it.
37:04I can't believe it.
37:10Would you mind?
37:33Charlie's conscious now.
37:36He'd be gone if it wasn't for you.
37:39I was just doing my job.
37:42So don't thank me.
37:49She didn't come here to hurt you.
37:51How do you know?
37:54She didn't even know, Brian, you had any conflict until she got here.
38:02And then, Charlie...
38:05Oh, he pushed her so far beyond anything I could imagine.
38:08This is really supposed to be some kind of consolation for me.
38:15I'm a doctor.
38:17And they're gonna take that away from me.
38:19Because I wasn't nice to your husband.
38:22And I fired him.
38:24Because he had problems that nobody will admit.
38:34He had problems.
38:38And I will tell that to you.
38:41Anyone who will listen.
38:44You saved Charlie.
38:47After everything they did to you.
38:56So what did happen?
39:02It was gambling.
39:06But none of us knew it.
39:07He kept it a secret for so long.
39:09And then all of a sudden everything just started crashing down around us.
39:12But he admitted to me the night he disappeared that Dr. Larson had tried to help him.
39:19She told him to take a leave of absence and that she would cover for him.
39:22As long as he got treatment.
39:25I never told Hannah and Charlie any of this.
39:28If I had, none of this would have happened.
39:33I just heard.
39:35I think you, me, and TJ are the only people who did not go into that box today.
39:40Yeah, you know, I guess he just didn't want to hear from her fan club.
39:44It's been a long day. Shouldn't you two go get a room?
39:48Whoa, Gina, is that you officially endorsing this relationship?
39:52Separate cars, people. These walls have ears.
40:19I just wanted to thank you. You were really in my corner today.
40:25Always am.
40:38I heard you had the chance to sell me down the river today.
40:43Jake wasn't supposed to tell you that.
40:46He just cares about us both and he is sick of us fighting.
40:54Frankly, so am I.
40:56But I'm still inferior.
40:59That was a bad moment.
41:16You knew Crawford was going to ask me about that incident with Amy and let him ambush me.
41:21And you knew what you'd seen and told us nothing.
41:24I didn't even know it was Brian Clark.
41:26But you remembered the moment.
41:28Because it was awful.
41:29It was an awful time.
41:30Whatever you want to say about her.
41:32Dr. Ridley was in the hospital that day.
41:34She also knew and said nothing.
41:36You got this from Dr. Miller.
41:37We were trying to protect the hospital.
41:39By bringing down our best doctor.
41:40By removing our most problematic one.
41:43All while you and Joan were engaged in a cover-up.
41:46Now Dr. Ridley and I are the witches.
41:47Her feelings were clear from the opening bell and obviously you've always been compromised.
41:54So, should I expect you to bring in some weasel to start sniffing around about us?
41:58I haven't decided yet.
41:59But we'll let you know.
42:04I would have paid to see Max squirming all day today.
42:08And their faces when we walk back in with this.
42:10So you agree?
42:12We have a play here.
42:13Oh, absolutely.
42:16Then call them.
42:18I want to go in tomorrow.
42:19No.
42:20We have a meeting next Thursday to settle the Dixon lawsuit.
42:23We hit them then.
42:25When they least expect it.
42:29Hello?
42:39I heard you did the right thing with Brian.
42:42And you think I did it because of something you said?
42:47I didn't know.
42:51This job's hard enough without somebody stabbing you in the back.
42:55Say what you want about me, but if I'm coming for you, you will see me coming.
43:00Okay.
43:05Don't forget.
43:07Bye.
43:12Bye.
43:14Bye.
43:25We love you.
