00:05I'm sick.
00:06I may not die today,
00:08but it's coming, and there's nothing I can do
00:10to stop it. So how'd it feel?
00:11Staring down the barrel of a gun.
00:13Wish I could say I'd gotten used to it.
00:15Lennox, on the other hand, she didn't care if she got shot or not.
00:19You haven't really seemed
00:20like yourself recently.
00:21Is everything cool?
00:25It's not every day
00:25you find out your colleague was a
00:27teen heartthrob.
00:29My parents stole a lot of money
00:30from me. I worked basically my entire
00:32childhood, and I have nothing
00:34to show for it. Oh, man.
00:36I'm sorry.
00:45Sorry, man. I didn't
00:46realize anyone was in here. I just thought
00:48I left my phone charger in here yesterday.
00:50No, it's all good. My
00:52shift starts in a few minutes anyway, so...
00:56Wait, did you...
00:58Did you sleep here last night?
00:59What? No.
01:01I caught all the lights on the way in,
01:04so I thought I'd get a few extra minutes
01:06of shut-eye before my shift.
01:08Man, I wish I could fall asleep that fast.
01:11What can I say?
01:12We're not all born with a gift, right?
01:17People lie.
01:19People lie.
01:19They hide their true feelings, and sometimes
01:21they don't even know how to express
01:23those feelings.
01:24As psychiatrists, we are relying on our
01:26own personal assessments, which are riddled
01:29with mistakes and biases.
01:32And unlike other medical disciplines,
01:34we base our treatments on conversation
01:36and observation.
01:38Nothing more.
01:39Oh, come on.
01:41That's a bit of a reductive assessment
01:44of what we do, isn't it?
01:46But is it?
01:46What other tools do most psychiatrists employ?
01:49We use any number of clinical tools,
01:52but as aids to our initial assessment.
01:55I mean, it sounds like you're proposing
01:56that we lead with this stuff?
01:58You want me to let a machine tell me
02:00what's going on with my patient?
02:01No, I am proposing that we endeavor
02:05to give patients effective and efficient care.
02:09In a world where there is constant pressure
02:12to increase patient turnover rates,
02:14where there is so little time,
02:15we can rely on fMRI to help doctors
02:18instantly diagnose bipolar disorder,
02:22depression, schizophrenia,
02:23and we can push psychiatry into a true science,
02:26where we replace the guesswork with hard facts.
02:29The guesswork?
02:30I'm only referring to certain types of...
02:33Right.
02:33Okay, look.
02:34First of all, from what I've read,
02:37fMRI, diagnostically speaking anyway,
02:39according to the statistics,
02:40it's just not there yet.
02:41But even if it was,
02:42a lot of the psych patients coming into my ED
02:44are experiencing their first episode.
02:48You know, their initial set of symptoms,
02:50and they're disoriented.
02:52Sometimes they're terrified.
02:54They don't even know their psych patients yet.
02:56And what they need in that moment,
02:58more than anything,
02:59is human contact.
03:01Right?
03:02Empathy?
03:03Compassion?
03:04I am not trying to challenge your methods.
03:08Trust me when I tell you
03:09that in addition to its efficiency,
03:11there is a tremendous amount of potential
03:14in this tech.
03:15And I would love nothing more
03:17than to continue my research
03:18right here at Gaffney with you.
03:22How are we doing, Cora?
03:25Pretty good.
03:26She's coughing a lot.
03:28I'll order another albuterol nebulizer.
03:31That should help.
03:33Doing okay?
03:34I know the first few days in the isolator
03:36takes some getting used to.
03:38Octavio.
03:39I keep thinking about this pet fish
03:40I had in kindergarten.
03:42Octavio.
03:43Yeah.
03:45I used to stare at him
03:46in his little fish bowl.
03:48Seems so cozy
03:49with his castle and treasure chest.
03:54It doesn't seem so cozy now.
03:59Look, I know it's not ideal,
04:01but this is the best way
04:03to keep you safe.
04:05Your immune deficiency disorder
04:07means that your body
04:08can't protect itself from infection.
04:10Inside the fish bowl,
04:12no germs can get in,
04:13so all you have to worry about
04:15is getting better.
04:17Okay.
04:18I mean, plus,
04:19it doesn't feel cozy in there
04:21because you haven't done
04:22any decorating yet.
04:24Decorating?
04:24Yeah.
04:25I mean, I'm thinking
04:27some curtains in here,
04:28maybe a few Blackpink posters, huh?
04:32You're being sarcastic.
04:35Maybe a little.
04:36But it doesn't mean
04:37we can't find ways
04:38to make you feel more at home, okay?
04:40So how about we both think on it?
04:42Okay.
04:54She's getting worse, isn't she?
04:56Her blood pressure is dropping
04:57and lactate is rising,
04:59which are markers for sepsis.
05:01But the only thing
05:02that's going to make her better
05:03in the long term
05:03is a stem cell transplant.
05:05Any word on the test results?
05:07There's nothing from the registry.
05:09And your test results
05:10aren't back yet,
05:11but I will let you know
05:12as soon as I hear.
05:13But if I am a match with Cora,
05:15how soon can we do
05:15the stem cell transplant?
05:17And hopefully within hours.
05:21I don't understand how this happened so fast.
05:23I don't understand how this happened so fast.
05:23She was such a healthy girl
05:25and then suddenly these past few months,
05:29when I decided to have her on my own
05:31through IVF,
05:32I was so scared.
05:35But then she arrived
05:36and all the worry went away
05:38because she was perfect.
05:41and we were perfect.
05:44Just the two of us.
05:52Help!
05:53Someone!
05:54What's going on?
05:55They said to bring it.
05:56I kept it cold.
05:58Oh, my God!
05:59What is it?
06:03Lionel Blake,
06:0437-year-old male,
06:05left hand severed off
06:06in a circular saw accident
06:07at a shop.
06:07The heart rate's 126,
06:09BP's 95 over 54.
06:10Coworker found him.
06:11Use his belt as a tourniquet
06:12until we got there.
06:12Complete amputation.
06:13How much blood was there at the sink?
06:15A lot.
06:15And we got the hand.
06:16All right, we'll get it
06:17in a sterile bag.
06:18Okay, I'm on it.
06:19All right, on my count.
06:22Ready?
06:23One, two, three.
06:25Oh!
06:26Oh, it hurts.
06:27100 mites of fentanyl.
06:28Oh, let's get a cardio monitor,
06:30and oxygen,
06:30and let's get another IV
06:32and hang a unit of...
06:33Oh, negative.
06:34Got it.
06:34All right, you are going
06:35to surgery, Mr. Blake.
06:37Page handed vascular, please.
06:39We need help
06:39getting this hand reattached.
06:40Wait.
06:41No, no, no.
06:41Lie back down, sir.
06:42Lie back down.
06:42Please let me go.
06:44Blake, come on now.
06:45You don't understand.
06:46What don't I understand, sir?
06:47I don't want it reattached.
06:49Excuse me?
06:50I cut it off on purpose.
07:05So it's a no on the reattachment.
07:07Yeah, a hard no.
07:09They won't engage much beyond that.
07:11Some kind of woodworker?
07:13Makes high-end furniture.
07:15The guy that brought them in
07:16said that they were working together
07:18here to shriek.
07:20He ran in,
07:22found them in a pool of blood.
07:23Any mental illness in here?
07:25No, no.
07:26Nothing in this chart.
07:28Could this be...
07:29What was that called?
07:31You know, when a person
07:33wants to remove
07:34their healthy limbs.
07:35What was that?
07:36Oh, body integrity
07:37identity disorder?
07:38I mean, it could be.
07:39Hard to say without talking to him.
07:40Well, I got less than an hour
07:42before the hand dies
07:43from lack of circulation.
07:45Oh, man.
07:46Okay.
07:48Just squeeze my hand if it hurts.
07:49It's not too bad.
07:50Okay.
07:51You okay?
07:52Yeah.
07:54Oh, I'm fine.
07:56Just do her first.
07:56I'd really like to take
07:57a look at the arm, Mr. Carter.
07:59Yeah, when the kettle
08:00exploded in the kitchen,
08:01we both thought a bomb went off.
08:02I guess the water was too hot, or...
08:04No, it wasn't water.
08:06It was just a cheap-ass wedding
08:07gift for my Uncle Benny.
08:08Everything the dude buys
08:09is a knockoff of a knockoff.
08:12Of a knockoff.
08:13These look like superficial
08:14partial thickness burns.
08:16Let's do a gentle irrigation
08:17with some cool water,
08:18and then we'll need to
08:19apply some sylva-dine.
08:20And a suture kit for that lack.
08:23You okay?
08:24What's hurting?
08:25Hey, babe, you all right?
08:26Yeah, I'm sorry.
08:27I think the skin's
08:28just a little bit tender.
08:30Okay.
08:30Well, let's get you down
08:31and sutured and bandaged.
08:33I want to do an x-ray
08:34to make sure there's no glass
08:35that we missed
08:36and some basic blood and urine tests.
08:37Can I have a nurse
08:38help you in the bathroom?
08:38Oh, no, I'm okay.
08:39I can do it.
08:40Okay.
08:41And no more gifts
08:42from Uncle Benny.
08:44I was doing a little
08:45internet snooping
08:47on your shop
08:48at some beautiful furniture
08:50you make.
08:52No wonder demand
08:53is so high right now.
08:54I mean, those
08:54those Windsor chairs
08:56with the
08:57with the blonde sugar maple,
08:59you know,
09:00the mortise and tenon joints,
09:01that's
09:03impressive.
09:04Like a magic chair.
09:05Yeah.
09:06Yeah.
09:09But I tell you,
09:10one thing that I can't
09:11really figure out
09:13is why a guy
09:14who's as talented as you are
09:15would want to
09:16get rid of
09:17one of your most
09:19important tools.
09:23It's better for everyone.
09:26For everyone?
09:27What do you mean
09:28when you say everyone?
09:29I'm a bad person.
09:32I'm gonna hurt someone.
09:35Have you hurt somebody
09:36before?
09:37No.
09:39Well,
09:40what makes you think
09:42you would now?
09:43I could
09:45control it before.
09:48Control what?
09:50I keep
09:51picturing the same thing
09:55over
09:56and over.
09:59Okay.
10:00What is it that
10:01you keep on picturing?
10:04Wrapping my head
10:05around someone's throat.
10:08Killing them.
10:11And I was gonna do it.
10:14I was gonna hurt someone.
10:21No, I can't.
10:29Hey, crazy question.
10:30Do we have any glitter glue?
10:31Why, you going to a slumber party
10:33we don't know about?
10:34No, I'm just getting
10:35some supplies for Cora
10:36so she can spruce
10:37the place up a little bit.
10:38How are you still single?
10:41Commitment issues.
10:43Excited to unpack that
10:44tomorrow night at your place.
10:46I'm sorry, what?
10:47She means poker night.
10:49It's tomorrow.
10:50You're hosting.
10:51Yeah, sorry,
10:52I can't do that actually.
10:53I'm gonna have to
10:53rent check.
10:54What?
10:56Something came up.
10:57You can't bail on us.
10:58Your bad decisions
10:59at poker night
10:59paid for my manicures
11:01last month.
11:01I just can't.
11:02Okay?
11:03Okay.
11:04Okay.
11:05Dr. Frost,
11:06this just came up
11:07from pathology
11:07for Cora Cooper.
11:11Whoa, whoa, whoa.
11:11This is for Cora Cooper.
11:13Are you sure?
11:14Yeah.
11:14That's what they said.
11:18She's not my daughter.
11:22How is this possible?
11:23You mentioned to Dr. Frost
11:25that you conceived Cora
11:27through IVF.
11:28You think there was
11:29a mix-up at the clinic?
11:30Well, it's possible.
11:32We've been in touch with them.
11:34It looks like 10 years ago
11:37on the day Cora's embryo
11:38was transferred.
11:39There was one other woman
11:41who received an embryo,
11:42though hers didn't take.
11:45Are you saying that Cora
11:47is her biological child?
11:48We just don't know yet.
11:50These answers will take time.
11:52But if this woman
11:54is Cora's genetic parent,
11:56then there's a 25% chance
11:58she is a match
11:59for the stem cell transplant
12:00needed to save Cora's life.
12:04So, do we have your permission
12:06to contact her
12:07to see if she'll come in
12:09to get tested?
12:16So, you're saying
12:17that he's got OCD?
12:18Most people think
12:20that OCD is just about,
12:21you know,
12:22repetitive hand-watching,
12:23light-switch behavior.
12:25But at its heart
12:27are these intrusive thoughts,
12:29right,
12:29that compel people
12:31to behave a certain way.
12:32In Lionel's case,
12:34they revolve around
12:35hurting people.
12:36It's actually
12:37a very specific subset,
12:38which is harm OCD.
12:40Trust me,
12:41he's got all the hallmarks.
12:42And that explains
12:43why he's not
12:43mentioned it to anybody.
12:45Well, it's a tough thing
12:46to admit to, right?
12:47Yeah.
12:47But I mean,
12:47the lengths that he went to,
12:49cutting off his own hand,
12:51I mean,
12:51the guy didn't want
12:51to hurt anybody.
12:52Yeah.
12:53Right?
12:54We all have
12:55violent impulses, right?
12:57But we have the ability
12:58to filter him out.
13:00Poor guy thinks he's a killer
13:02and really just got
13:03a leaky valve.
13:06Hmm.
13:07If only could we just
13:08show him the valve, right?
13:09Yeah.
13:11No, you know.
13:13But we just show him
13:13the busted part,
13:14just like we do
13:15with broken bones,
13:17and get him to understand
13:18that that's not
13:19who he really is.
13:20Right?
13:23Any way you could
13:24keep this hand alive
13:26for a little bit longer?
13:28Yeah, I'll consult Lennox.
13:29I'd appreciate it, buddy.
13:30Just, uh,
13:33need to run something down.
13:33Of course.
13:37How much time
13:38do you think this will buy?
13:39Well, in a lab setting,
13:41a perfusion system
13:42has kept a limb viable
13:43for up to 24 hours,
13:44but given that
13:45this isn't a lab setting,
13:47and we're doing
13:48most of this on the fly,
13:49I'd say considerably less.
13:51more than that.
13:52Did you ever reattach
13:53any limbs
13:54while you're in Afghanistan?
13:56I mostly cut them off.
14:00It's hard to imagine
14:02anybody doing this
14:03to themselves on purpose.
14:05Maybe.
14:07But I can understand
14:08wanting to deny
14:09your own impulses.
14:10I spent most of my life
14:11doing that.
14:12Why do you think that is?
14:18I guess I didn't really
14:20understand the world
14:21or how I was supposed
14:23to act
14:24or what was acceptable
14:26or cool
14:27or kind,
14:28and to avoid making a mistake,
14:31I just didn't take any chances.
14:35And I'm starting to think
14:36that that stopped me
14:38from experiencing life fully.
14:42If I had a better self-control,
14:44I wouldn't be having
14:44a baby right now,
14:45so maybe losing control
14:49occasionally
14:49isn't the worst thing
14:51in the world.
14:55Sorry, Dr. Lennox.
14:56I wanted to...
14:58I was in the bathroom
14:59collecting the urine sample
15:01from the woman
15:02who had the kettle accident,
15:04Mrs. Carter, I guess.
15:06Well, she'd asked
15:07for a second cup to use,
15:08and I didn't think
15:09anything of it
15:10until I went in there
15:11and I found
15:11the original cup
15:12in the trash.
15:15Had this on it.
15:19You all right?
15:21Yeah, just...
15:22This is so weird.
15:24Miss Patrick,
15:25this is Vivian Cooper
15:26and Dr. Frost,
15:27who's running point
15:28on Cora's care.
15:30It's nice to meet you.
15:31Thank you so much
15:32for coming down here
15:33so quickly.
15:34It's a lot.
15:35No, of course.
15:36I...
15:38Um...
15:40Sorry, what happens now?
15:41Well, the first thing
15:42we need to do
15:43is a blood draw,
15:43which is right down the hole.
15:44Okay.
15:45And we should be able
15:46to get back the results
15:47within a couple hours.
15:49Is that her?
15:54Yes.
15:56Can I meet her?
15:59Well, I haven't told Cora
16:01about all this yet.
16:01I didn't want to upset her
16:03until we knew for sure.
16:06Oh.
16:07Why don't we do
16:08the blood test
16:09to start?
16:11Right, of course.
16:13It's just...
16:14Afterward, I really...
16:17Um...
16:18I would love
16:19to meet her.
16:22We don't even have
16:23to tell her who I am.
16:25I don't know.
16:27I'm sorry,
16:28but that might be
16:29my biological child
16:30in there
16:31and she's sick.
16:34Please?
16:44It will be.
16:45Dr. Ripley,
16:46you have a second?
16:47Uh, not exactly.
16:48Well, I was wondering
16:49if you've noticed
16:50anything off with Dr. Frost.
16:53What do you mean?
16:53Like he's acting
16:55kind of weird.
16:56You know?
16:57Cagey.
16:59He totally bailed
17:01on hosting Poker Night
17:02and he's like
17:03dropping out of stuff
17:05randomly.
17:10I think it might be meth.
17:14Meth?
17:14Yeah.
17:15I've seen it before.
17:17Mm-hmm.
17:18Casey, um,
17:20Dr. Frost does not
17:21have a methamphetamine
17:22addiction.
17:23But he is acting weird.
17:25Yeah, maybe.
17:26Um, I need to go
17:28deal with something.
17:29Let's talk later.
17:34Hey, man,
17:35can I, uh,
17:35can I grab you
17:36for a sec?
17:37Yeah, what's up?
17:38Oh, admin.
17:39Uh, they can't seem
17:39to find your insurance info.
17:41Just need you to fill out
17:41a few forms.
17:42It's a pain, I know, but...
17:43No, it's fine.
17:45We're just fighting around.
17:45I don't know if it's a drug.
17:53Faye, can we talk?
17:55Sure.
17:56Everything okay?
17:57Uh, just waiting
17:58on your lab results.
17:59But that's not
18:00why I came by.
18:03You got married
18:04recently, right?
18:05Almost seven months ago,
18:07but yeah.
18:08How's it going?
18:11Good.
18:12What do you mean?
18:13I guess I mean, um,
18:15how are you guys
18:16getting along?
18:18Sorry, why are you
18:19asking this?
18:23We found this
18:25in the trash,
18:26the red sticker on it.
18:29I'm sorry,
18:30I don't understand.
18:31What's that supposed
18:32to mean?
18:32We have signs up
18:34in the bathroom
18:34that say
18:35if you're experiencing
18:36partner abuse
18:38or domestic violence
18:40that you can place
18:41a sticker on your cup
18:42to notify us.
18:45But I didn't turn
18:47that one in.
18:47I understand.
18:50I'm wondering
18:51if you are considering
18:53asking us for help.
18:56I want to make sure
18:57everything's okay
18:58and nothing you say
19:00to me is going
19:00to leave this room.
19:03I don't know.
19:05I'm sorry.
19:06I just...
19:06Stay.
19:08Can we talk
19:09about the kettle?
19:11I told you
19:12it...
19:13it was an accident.
19:15It just exploded.
19:18But is that
19:18what happened?
19:20Did he hate you
19:21it then?
19:26It was an argument.
19:29We're both hot-tempered.
19:30I just don't want
19:31to get him in trouble.
19:33This isn't about
19:34getting anybody in trouble.
19:35This is about
19:35making sure you're safe.
19:37Please don't.
19:39We have resources
19:40we can provide.
19:41We have a social worker
19:42who can connect
19:43to the same housing.
19:45Please.
19:46Faye?
19:47Please.
19:48A little help in here?
19:50Please don't.
19:50She's losing consciousness.
19:51Let's get her on a monitor.
19:52Faye,
19:53can you hear me?
19:55Please don't.
20:00Faye,
20:00I'll give you
20:01an oxygen mask
20:02to help you breathe,
20:03okay?
20:03She's really diaphoretic.
20:04I'm going to need
20:05some tape.
20:05Here we go.
20:07Just breathe.
20:08We got you.
20:10Dr. Lennox,
20:11you need to see this.
20:13Oh, my God.
20:23Dr. Abari.
20:24Hey.
20:25Here, Nick.
20:26You come to arrest me?
20:28Look,
20:29I got out a little heated
20:30this morning
20:30and I apologize for that,
20:32but I'm wondering
20:32if I could ask
20:33for your help
20:34with something.
20:35Sure.
20:36What do you got?
20:37Under a bit of a time crunch.
20:38Can I explain on the way?
20:39Yeah.
20:41The bolus and blood
20:42seem to have helped.
20:43Vitals are stable.
20:44Tell Transpo
20:45she's ready to move to IR.
20:47Hey,
20:47her husband's in the waiting room.
20:49I've been holding him off,
20:50but he wants to know
20:50what's going on.
20:51He knows exactly
20:52what's going on.
20:52He beat the hell out of her.
20:56He may be next of kin,
20:57but the fact
20:57that we have to treat
20:58this prick
20:58like he's any other
20:59family member
21:00is absurd.
21:01I get that,
21:02but if we let on
21:02what we know,
21:03we would feign
21:03even more danger.
21:04Yeah,
21:05I get that.
21:16Is she okay?
21:17Your wife suffered
21:17a laceration to her spleen,
21:19causing her to hemorrhage
21:21slowly into her abdomen.
21:22We are doing something
21:23called a splenic artery embolization
21:25to stop the bleeding.
21:26But she's going to be okay?
21:28We hope so,
21:28yes.
21:30Okay.
21:31Thank God.
21:33Sorry,
21:33I'm a little confused,
21:35so she was fine
21:36when I left what happened.
21:37Well,
21:38that's what we were hoping
21:39that you could help us with.
21:41Generally,
21:42it's the kind of injury
21:42that only occurs
21:43with blunt trauma,
21:44but Faye didn't mention
21:46anything like that.
21:47Any idea
21:48what might have happened?
21:51I mean,
21:52when the kettle exploded,
21:53she did fall.
21:55Hit the counter.
21:57In the chaos,
21:58we must have forgot
21:58to mention it.
22:00She fell.
22:02Right.
22:02So,
22:03that's all.
22:05Can't think of anything else?
22:07No.
22:08We're asking
22:09because we just want
22:10to make sure,
22:10you know,
22:11we have a clear picture
22:12and there's nothing
22:12we're missing.
22:13Right.
22:14Of course.
22:16Uh,
22:17yeah.
22:18Nothing else
22:19that I know of.
22:22All right,
22:23Lionel.
22:24We're going to get started.
22:27First,
22:28we're going to warm up
22:28the machine a bit
22:29so if you could tap
22:30your index fingers
22:31to your thumbs.
22:32I mean,
22:32with your right hand,
22:33of course.
22:39Color represents
22:39the parts of the brain
22:41that are active.
22:42And your research
22:43is centered on this?
22:45Yeah.
22:45Yeah.
22:45We compare
22:46what we're seeing
22:46in a given patient
22:47to a healthy brain
22:49and the differences
22:50will help
22:51tell us
22:52what we're dealing with.
22:53Okay,
22:54but Dr. Charles
22:55has already diagnosed
22:56Mr. Blake.
22:57He just doesn't believe it.
22:58Well,
22:59we're kind of
23:00conducting an experiment
23:01in, um,
23:02repurposing
23:03the technology
23:04in an attempt
23:05to show Lionel
23:07and,
23:07per your suggestion,
23:08his leaky valve.
23:10Okay,
23:11we're ready.
23:14Okay, Lionel,
23:15I want you to
23:16shut your eyes
23:19and picture standing
23:20right in front of you
23:21the person
23:22that you care about,
23:23that you love
23:25most in the world.
23:30Okay?
23:31Now,
23:32I want you to imagine
23:33taking your hands,
23:34wrapping them
23:35around your throat
23:36and strangling them.
23:40Okay.
23:53Hey, Cora,
23:55your decorating's
23:56coming along nicely.
23:57Right?
23:58Except,
23:59I'm running out of
24:00blue marker.
24:01Oh, we can taste that.
24:02You didn't touch
24:03your lunch.
24:04I'm hungry.
24:06Well, you gotta eat.
24:07Keep your strength up,
24:08okay?
24:08I'll try.
24:10Cora,
24:10I'd like to introduce
24:11you to a friend of mine.
24:12This is Lily.
24:13She's shadowing me today.
24:15Hey.
24:17Nice zebra.
24:19Thanks.
24:19It's actually
24:20randomly my favorite animal.
24:23Hey, Cora,
24:24I think we should
24:24put your cannula
24:25back on, okay?
24:26Oxygen levels
24:27are dipping a little bit.
24:28I wanted to do
24:29this trip to Africa
24:30last summer,
24:31but we couldn't afford it,
24:33so my mom
24:34wrote an email
24:34to the zoo
24:35and convinced them
24:36to let me come
24:36and feed them.
24:38Sounds cool.
24:42She has a black streak
24:44in her hair.
24:45I've had it
24:45since I was a baby.
24:47It's pretty rare,
24:48I think.
24:49Yeah, no,
24:50I know my mom
24:50had the exact same thing.
24:54You're my daughter.
24:57What?
24:58What are you doing?
24:59I think we should
25:00step out, maybe.
25:01She's my daughter.
25:01I'm sorry,
25:02but I'm sure of it.
25:08You are way out of line.
25:09Ladies.
25:09I didn't mean to say it.
25:10We don't even know
25:11if you are.
25:12We do know,
25:12and I know you can see it.
25:14Can we just calm down?
25:15I don't want her
25:16anywhere near my daughter.
25:17She's my daughter, too.
25:18I have rights.
25:19Is this crazy?
25:20I don't want this anymore.
25:22Let's wait
25:22for the marrow registry results.
25:24Stop her blood test.
25:24No, we're not stopping it.
25:26Then I'm going to call a lawyer.
25:27All right, it's enough.
25:28Look,
25:29I understand
25:30that emotions
25:31are running high
25:32and that this is
25:33a very unusual situation.
25:35I can't imagine
25:37what you're going through
25:38right now,
25:39and you either.
25:40You both must be reeling.
25:42So, Miss Cooper,
25:44you can call a lawyer,
25:46and I promise you
25:48I would understand.
25:49As hard as this is,
25:51that's not the best thing
25:53for your daughter right now.
25:58Of course.
26:01Okay, look.
26:02There is no closing
26:05this Pandora's box.
26:07So, if you both care for Cora,
26:10we need to put her first.
26:25How are you doing
26:26after that ambulizer?
26:28You feeling a little shaky?
26:30No.
26:32I'm okay.
26:36Dr. Frost?
26:38That woman?
26:42Can she take me away
26:44from her mom?
26:47I wish I could tell you
26:49what was going to happen,
26:50Cora,
26:50but I can't.
26:53What I can tell you
26:55is that family
26:56has nothing to do
26:57with genetics
26:57or blood.
26:59It's about who loves you
27:00and who shows up.
27:06Is that what your parents
27:07were like?
27:11No.
27:12Actually, mine
27:13weren't always
27:14very good to me.
27:16They weren't always
27:18putting me first,
27:19just, you know?
27:23But your mom,
27:25she's nothing like that.
27:28All she does
27:29is think about you
27:30and how best
27:31to take care of you
27:32and that kind of love.
27:38she's going to be your mom
27:40no matter what
27:41any test says.
27:43All right?
27:47I guess I'm just
27:49scared.
27:51I know.
27:54But hey,
27:58we're in this together,
28:00all right?
28:03I got you.
28:07This
28:09is a picture
28:09of your brain
28:10after we
28:11asked you to think
28:12of somebody
28:13you cared about.
28:15My sister?
28:16My sister.
28:17See this red area here?
28:18That's called
28:18the ventral
28:19tegmental area.
28:21It's a part
28:22of your brain
28:22that processes
28:23love and reward.
28:25And it's
28:26where you hold
28:27your personal values.
28:28See how it's all
28:29lit up
28:30when you're thinking
28:31about your sister?
28:32Yeah.
28:33Okay, good.
28:34Now, this
28:34is a picture
28:36of your brain
28:37after we asked
28:38you to think
28:38about hurting her.
28:40Now, see, amygdala?
28:41It's where your brain
28:42processes fear.
28:43Okay, now, buddy,
28:45if you were somebody
28:46who enjoyed hurting people,
28:47your brain would not
28:48look like this
28:49after confiding
28:50with those triggers.
28:51Okay?
28:52It would, in fact,
28:53look like this.
28:55Because you'd be
28:56experiencing joy
28:57and pleasure
28:58in anticipation
28:59of hurting somebody.
29:01Now, a really cool part
29:03is to actually
29:03show you
29:04why this is happening.
29:06See this little area here?
29:08This is called
29:09your caudate nucleus.
29:12It's dark.
29:13Yeah, because
29:13yours isn't working.
29:15And that's all this is.
29:17It's what I've been
29:17trying to tell you.
29:18This little tiny part
29:19of your brain
29:19is malfunctioning.
29:21Maybe.
29:22I don't know.
29:22Buddy, look.
29:25This is you.
29:27It's the guy
29:28who deserves
29:28to be made whole again.
29:32Lionel,
29:33I know you feel unsafe,
29:35okay?
29:36And that's terrible.
29:38But we can fix that.
29:40Look, it's not
29:41going to happen overnight,
29:42okay?
29:43But I promise you,
29:45when we get
29:46to where we're going,
29:47you're going to want
29:47your hand back
29:48so you can keep
29:48doing what you love doing.
29:50The problem is, buddy,
29:51is that we are
29:52up against it right now.
29:54All right?
29:55So in this moment,
29:56I just...
29:57I need you to trust me.
30:00Okay?
30:00I need you to trust me,
30:01and I just...
30:02I need you to trust
30:04this science.
30:09Okay.
30:12Okay?
30:18How are you feeling?
30:20Groggy.
30:21A little sore.
30:23What happened?
30:25You had a lacerated spleen.
30:27We embolized the artery
30:29that was bleeding
30:29into your abdomen.
30:30You should be okay.
30:32But it could have killed you.
30:36There was a moment
30:37earlier today
30:38when you were alone
30:38in the bathroom.
30:40You had an impulse
30:41to reach out,
30:43ask for help.
30:45You should listen to that.
30:54You must think
30:55I'm so stupid
30:56for loving someone
30:57who could do this.
30:59I don't think that at all.
31:04It's just...
31:07He's not always like this.
31:12I believe you.
31:15But situations like this
31:16don't just get better.
31:18Not without help.
31:23I took this
31:24out of your bag.
31:27I put my number in it.
31:29It's under Katie
31:30with a C.
31:34Yeah, thanks.
31:38But really,
31:38I'm fine.
31:41It was just a mix-up.
31:47I just need it today.
31:50No, I don't care
31:51about the money.
31:52No, text me his number.
31:53I'll cut him a check today.
31:56It's really how this goes.
31:58Let me call you back.
32:00Excuse me?
32:01I get that you might
32:03feel upset right now,
32:04and that you might feel cheated,
32:06but that little girl in there
32:07is dying,
32:08and she's not going to spend
32:09whatever time she has left
32:10terrified that the only family
32:12she knows is about
32:13to get torn apart.
32:15You don't get it.
32:17I don't...
32:18No.
32:22I did IVF for years.
32:29So many times,
32:30I got pregnant.
32:33But the embryo...
32:38My body couldn't keep it alive.
32:44But then this happens
32:46that this little girl is mine.
32:51And I've already missed so much.
32:55So I can't just walk away.
33:03Infertility is cruel.
33:05We never get to know
33:06why one person gets lucky
33:07while the other one does it.
33:08I can imagine
33:10that in a situation like this,
33:11it is easy to feel like
33:13you've been robbed of something,
33:14and maybe you have.
33:17But I...
33:18What?
33:20I don't know.
33:20Maybe this is the only way
33:22this could have happened.
33:24You having a kid.
33:26Maybe Cora wouldn't even be here
33:27if it weren't for the both of you.
33:29Okay, but either way,
33:31Cora is in a crisis right now.
33:34And I know
33:35that the only way
33:36to get through a crisis
33:37is to find a way
33:38to work together.
33:49What is it?
33:52Pathology.
33:53Your test results are back.
34:01Cora.
34:13What's wrong?
34:15Nothing's wrong, baby.
34:17It's good news.
34:19You and Miss Patrick,
34:21you're a stem cell match.
34:24Really?
34:25Really?
34:26Yeah.
34:27You're going to be feeling
34:28a lot better very soon.
34:32You're going to be okay, sweetie.
34:33You're going to be okay.
34:38I'm so happy.
34:40I'm so happy when she...
34:41She's my biological.
34:46Yeah.
34:51Where is she?
34:54Miss Patrick is getting ready
34:56to make her stem cell donation.
34:58And she thought it best
35:00for you two
35:01to have your space right now.
35:13Yeah.
35:15Hey.
35:17I'm headed out.
35:17I wanted to check on Lionel.
35:18How's he doing?
35:20You know, Dean's just finishing up now.
35:22Come in.
35:23Have a seat.
35:25He was able to keep the hand viable,
35:27so it looks like the reattachment's
35:29going to be a success.
35:30You know, so...
35:33I'm glad to hear it.
35:35It's cool what you did back there.
35:37I haven't used FMR like that.
35:38Hey, look.
35:39I am not anti-innovation, okay?
35:41Far from it, trust me.
35:42But it just seems like
35:43every day we get hit
35:44with another technological advancement
35:47that further obliterates
35:48our need to connect as humans.
35:50You know, we might have gotten off
35:51on the wrong foot,
35:52but I enjoyed working with you today.
35:56Right back at you.
35:57Really.
36:00Theo.
36:02Um...
36:02I've been thinking...
36:05You cannot deny
36:06the potential of this technology, right?
36:09I mean, look at what happened today.
36:12And...
36:14Look.
36:15If you were willing
36:16to put people
36:19before technology,
36:21maybe there is a place for you
36:23in your research.
36:25You're a Gaffney.
36:27Hmm.
36:29What do you think?
36:30Yeah.
36:33It's this way.
36:34They'll just need you
36:35to change into a gown
36:36and then we'll get you
36:37to pre-op.
36:38And how long
36:39does the procedure take?
36:40Usually one or two hours.
36:42Okay.
36:43Lily...
36:45I just wanted to say
36:46thank you in person.
36:47It means...
36:49it's everything.
36:50Of course.
36:53Um...
36:54I tried to get a zebra
36:56from the gift shop for Cora.
36:59All they had was a bear.
37:01Probably stupid.
37:02I don't even know
37:03if 10-year-olds
37:04like stuffed animals.
37:06I guess I don't really
37:08know that much
37:08about kids.
37:11She'll love it.
37:15I'm sorry about earlier.
37:17It wasn't my best moment.
37:20No, it wasn't.
37:23You know, Cora asked about you.
37:26She has questions
37:27I can't answer.
37:29Maybe we can have another conversation
37:32with the three of us later
37:34under better circumstances.
37:36Yeah?
37:38Yeah.
37:45Bubba's looking pretty good.
37:46It's too bad we're gonna have to
37:47kick you out of here soon.
37:48I made you something.
37:51Oh, yeah?
37:51What's that?
37:54That's me.
37:56That's you.
37:58You put me in the fishbowl?
37:59You said that we were in it together.
38:02Thought maybe you could
38:04hang it up in your house.
38:11You like it?
38:13Yeah.
38:15I love it.
38:17So, Faye got moved to the ICU?
38:20Mm-hmm.
38:24Look,
38:25you did everything you could.
38:28Right.
38:31Oh.
38:32What?
38:33I left my iPad in post-op.
38:36Want me to hold the elevator?
38:37I'll get the next one.
38:49Casey thinks you're on meth.
38:52What?
38:53Nurse Casey.
38:54She thinks you're acting weird
38:55because you're on meth.
38:57Oh.
38:57I'm not on meth.
39:00I know.
39:02But you are acting weird.
39:04I'm not trying to.
39:05I'm just,
39:06I'm tired, I guess.
39:11Okay.
39:19I got kicked out of my sublet.
39:22What's that?
39:23My apartment.
39:25I sublet it.
39:26And two days ago,
39:27the guy that I sublet it from
39:28decided to move back,
39:30kicked me out.
39:32So,
39:33you were right.
39:34I did sleep here
39:35last night
39:36because
39:36I don't
39:37have a place to live.
39:41That sucks,
39:42but can't you just get
39:43another apartment?
39:44No, it's not that simple.
39:45Well, if you need cash,
39:46I'm more than happy to...
39:47It's not a money thing,
39:49really.
39:49It's a credit thing.
39:51I had to file bankruptcy
39:52to get out from under
39:53all the debts
39:54my parents racked up,
39:55so that's why
39:57I always sublet.
39:58It's just hard to
39:59find one on short notice,
40:03so...
40:05Well,
40:06why don't you just come
40:07stay with me, then?
40:09Just until you find
40:10a place for you?
40:10I appreciate it.
40:11All right?
40:12I am fine.
40:13I'm at Sadie's
40:14half the time anyway.
40:18Okay, then.
40:20Okay.
40:21All right.
40:25There's no meth
40:26in the apartment.
40:26I'll just keep doing it
40:27in the hospital.
40:28Right.
40:28It'll be all right.
40:29Yeah.
40:38Dr. Lennox.
40:40Oh, hey.
40:41Faye was moved
40:42to the ICU.
40:42I know.
40:43I was looking
40:43for you, actually.
40:45I just wanted to say
40:46thank you
40:47for saving her life.
40:48I really appreciate it.
40:51I know how much
40:51attention
40:53you paid to her.
40:58Well, I wish
40:59I could have done more.
41:02I know.
41:11I know.
