[Inhales.]
[Sighs.]
[Water running.]
What happens at 8:25? Company.
Dr.
Rivers, what do we got? His name is Donald White.
Ruptured AVM, massive cerebral hemorrhaging, ICP 40, BP 100 over 60, and dropping.
Okay, let's hang a bag of packed red cells and type and cross two more.
Hi, Donald.
I'm Dr.
Cole.
Please, I don't wanna die.
Well, for what it's worth, we're on the same page.
Can you tell my family that I love them? I got a better idea:You'll tell them when you wake up.
Deal? What do you think, Jordan? I just took a look at this guy's ct.
You sure you wanna be making promises you can't keep? How about I take a swing before you call the fight? - Dr.
Cole, your glucose test.
- Thank you.
[Glucose test beeps.]
What is that? He's gotta check his blood sugar before he can operate.
He's diabetic? [Beeps.]
Clear.
Okay, away we go.
Drill.
[Drill whirrs.]
Suction.
Can't see a thing.
Where's all this blood coming from? Let's just call housekeeping and have them stick a hoover in this guy.
[Beeps.]
BP dropping.
80 over 40.
More suctionnow.
It's been over two hours, Jason.
You're not gonna get there.
- Yeah, I'm close.
[Beeps.]
- BP's 60 over 20.
We're losing him.
The more time we spend on this patient, the less time we have for patients we can actually help.
[Beeping continues.]
Got a defect.
Clip? And - Gotcha.
- BP's rising.
80 over 40.
Well done, everyone.
Hope it was worth the wait.
[Watch beeps.]
- Ah, just the man I wanna see.
- I told you: I wouldn't feel right about dating my boss.
Would you please? You're so not my type.
You're nice.
Well, it's the nice ones you gotta watch out for.
Diamond club seats for tonight's Phillies game.
[Groans.]
Compliments of your acoustic neuroma.
$1,000 tickets.
Knock yourself out.
That's thank you, but I I just can't do it.
Why? I happen to know that today is your birthday, and just because your diabetes prevents you from working at night doesn't prevent you from going to a game.
Well, thanks.
It's really nice of you.
Calvin.
- Yeah.
You're a Phillies fan, right? Yeah.
Give me the playbyplay tomorrow.
I thought you loved the Phillies! I do, just can't enjoy the night games.
Just not myself.
[Watch beeps.]
Okay, you start tomorrow with an.
ECIC Bypass at 9:30, 1:00 P.
M.
phone interview with the new england journal of medicine, 3:30 lecture on brain glioma treatment, 5:00 board meeting, a 6:15 morbidity and mortality meeting, and if there's time Josh, there won't be.
Will you excuse me for a second, sheri? Thanks.
Hey.
- Hey.
Dr.
Cole! Here's your coma for the night.
[Groans.]
Great.
Thank you for your brilliance, but even more for your discretion.
No, thank you.
I'm gonna make bank off this.
I'm gonna call it "oblivion.
" What do you think? Is that too celebrity fragrance, or is that a good thing? I think you should keep working on it.
[Scoffs.]
Not so fast.
I may be illegally supplying experimental drugs to the chief of neurosurgery, but I still have standards.
Check this out.
These are the results from your last metabolic panel, and there's red flags all over the playing field.
Sodium, potassium, chloride, all your levels are off the charts.
It must be an anomaly.
I feel fine.
I ran the test three times, all with the same results.
You need to take this seriously.
Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow, when I have time.
Thank you.
[Watch beeps.]
You have a good night.
See you tomorrow.
Happy Birthday, Dr.
Cole.
II don't know what you're talking about, Dr.
solis.
Wow, you're a terrible liar.
That is good to know.
Who told you it was my birthday? Google.
You googled me? - I have no idea what you're talking about.
[Chuckles.]
You know, some friends and I are going down to the Franklin later.
You should come by.
I'll buy you a drink.
- I'd love that.
I really would.
- Great.
- I just I can't.
- Oh, right, of course.
It's your birthday.
- [Laughs.]
No, no, it's not like that.
I just - no, have fun.
You deserve it.
Thanks.
Um, you don't actually have plans, do you? Am I that terrible a liar? - Mm, aren't you going to go anywhere? Uh, church.
Integration.
Thanks, everybody.
Thanks for coming.
[Applause.]
Keep coming.
Will! Hey.
Eh, look who missed the support group again.
Come on.
What can I say? Maybe I like having you all to myself.
That is not how this works.
You know that.
Come on.
I don't have what you have.
I don't have what they have.
I don't belong in your group, will.
Dissociative identity disorder.
It affects each of us differently.
Okay, well, it's been five years without incident.
Think I've got it under control.
You knock yourself out every night.
That is not control.
That is avoidance.
Well, I would probably benefit from some therapy, or meditation, or yoga, but what am I gonna do? I got 12 hours a day, and then he shows up.
Fine, start there.
Why does Ian price come at 8:25 every night and leave at 8:25 every morning? Why? Because that's how it's always been for as long as I can remember.
That's why.
If you're not here to change, what are you doing here? There's a woman.
Okay.
Now I'm interested.
I don't know what to do.
I like her.
I like her a lot.
Good, that is good for you.
No, it's not good for me.
What kind of relationship can I have? I'm only conscious 12 hours a day.
Jason [Beeps.]
You found a drug to lock up your alter, but you're the one who's the prisoner.
What other choice do I have? You still got some time tonight, right? Surprise yourself.
Make it count.
[Up-tempo music.]
[Overlapping chatter.]
I always wanted to be an astronaut.
Mm.
Visit unknown worlds.
That's why I love neurology, because our minds are just vast and mysterious, waiting to be explored what? Well, that's I'm definitely going to steal that from you, if you don't mind.
And you? Why did you become a doctor? Well, I always wanted to be an astronaut, you know? Mysterious, and - I'm serious.
Be serious.
- Seriously? - Yeah.
Well, when I was a kid, I I hurt someone very badly, and, uh, all my life, I've felt like I needed to make up for that, so And what happened? [Beeps.]
- Oh, ah, I should go.
- No, stay.
All of this time, you've kept me at arm's length.
What, is there somebody else? - [Scoffs.]
You could say that.
And now? Well, now, it's Just us.
[Groans.]
[Wispy voices.]
[Groans.]
Jason! - I have to go.
- Oh, no! - I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Sorry.
- Hey, hey.

[Dog barks.]
[Sighs and exhales.]
[Groans.]
Okay.
[Panting.]

I know.
Find me a new one? Um, then have LFTS run, then schedule an mri, and send the re What patient is this for? It's me.
So clear today's schedule.
- What about your consults? - Cancel them.
- You have pre-op and post-op patients waiting for you.
- Okay, well, push everything else.
Oh, see if Dr.
Freeman has an opening.
I should probably get a vasectomy.
The patient's Donald white.
Who's presenting? A 37-year-old m-m-male.
Significant b-b-bleeding from AVM was controlled during craniotomy.
If you k-k-keep stuttering, I'm gonna t-t-throw something at you.
I've been paging you all morning.
I need you to pick up rounds for me.
Where the hell have you been? Should be conscious by now.
Give him half an amp of narcan and page me if he doesn't respond.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Dr.
solis? Uh, sienna, this is Dr.
Cole.
He'll be performing your surgery tomorrow.
- Hi, it's nice to meet you.
- Hi.
Thoracic outlet syndrome.
But there's abnormal shadows on the clavicle.
I play tennis every day.
I was serving, and I just felt something snap.
- Oh, I bet you have a mean serve.
- [Laughs.]
Yeah, well, my husband thinks so.
Well, it's a very straightforward procedure.
We'll get you back on the court in no time.
Dr.
solis, can I have a word with you? Excuse us.
You left in such a panic.
I was worried sick.
I know.
I don't have your number.
I couldn't call you.
What happened? Okay.
Lena, listen.
I-I can't do this right now with you.
Things have changed.
Did I get the wrong impression last night, or No, no, I care about you.
I really do.
I just I don't want you to get hurt.
- You don't need to explain.
- No, that's the truth, Lena.
I'm a big girl.
I can take it.
Whatever this is, whatever you're going through, if you need a friend, just someone to talk to, I'm here, okay? He's immune.
No.
No, maybe the dosage needs to be adjusted, or the vial you gave me was compromised.
It wasn't.
Maybe the chemical compounds broke down over time.
Jason, he's immune.
No, ruben, no.
That'snotpossible! It's been five years.
He built up a resistance.
Then make it stronger.
I have been, every year.
If I make it any stronger, it could kill you.
I'm sorry.
[Scoffs.]
So you're saying I have two hours left until he ruins my life? How do you know what he's going to do? Because I saw him.
I saw the look in his eyes.
He wants revenge.
All right, look.
I'll work on something new.
I'll start right now.
I won't leave until I figure it out, okay? But Jason, what are you gonna do about tonight? [Whistles.]
Thank you.
- Where to? As far away as you can get.
There you go.
Uh A messenger is gonna come pick these up, and I need it to get to this address in Philadelphia, okay? Sure.
- Thanks.
Oh, and if you see me later, walk the other way.
[Exhales.]
[Moans.]
[Whimpers.]
Mr.
white? Stop! Stop! Get away! Mr.
white? Get it away, get it away from me! That's not me! That's not me! - Page Dr.
Cole.
- That's not me! [Shower running.]
[Breathing heavily.]
Corrections by wilson0804 That's better.
No cash, no credit cards.
That's not very nice, Jason.
"Lena.
" [Dial tone buzzes.]
What are you doing right now? [Knocks at door.]
Jason.
Are you okay? I am now.
What is going on? - Well, I thought we'd go out, but now I think we should stay.
[Exhales.]
Oh, what happened? I couldn't find your number.
Jason, look, talk to me.
What is going on? You've been on my mind whoo ooh ooh ooh ooh I like you, don't I? Oh, no, that's the million dollar question.
- Oh, I do.
I definitely do.
Look, I don't wanna play games.
Neither do I.
I don't have the time.
So this is exactly what you thought it would be Hoped it would be.
You know, there are nicer hotels, closer hotels, if that's your thing.
Well, I wanted you to have time to Anticipate, fantasize.
About? This And this [Snap.]
And this.
[Snap.]
Come from way above to bring me love.
To bring me love and now what? [Tense music.]
[Horns honking.]
[Coughs.]
[Hacking.]
[Spits.]
[Groans.]
[Sighs.]
You prick.
[Coughs.]
This morning you missed clinic with your residents.
You have consults piling up.
You were a no-show at the board meeting.
Dr.
young wants to see you asap, and did you send that to yourself? I need you to close out my credit cards, freeze all my bank accounts, change the password on my computers.
And I need you to go to the pharmacy to pick up some nicotine gum and patch.
- I didn't know you smoked.
- I don't.
Donald, the reason you can't recognize me is because of your disorder.
It's called prosopagnosia.
It's a neurological condition that prevents any type of facial recognition.
Is it permanent? Well, during your surgery, we found what's called an AVM.
Now, what that is is basically a tangled knot of blood vessels in your brain.
I'm afraid it's too dangerous to remove, and if that's what's causing the pressure, then your condition would be permanent.
We should know more in a couple of days.
I can't recognize myself.
I can't recognize anybody.
Who are those people? That's your family.
[Ekg beeps.]
This is sienna rowe, 41-year-old female tennis player.
Mri demonstrated brachial plexus compression and unknown mass.
Our plan today is to perform a thoracic outlet decompression through supraclavicular incision.
Dr.
Cole.
Just making sure.
Dr.
Rivers, did Mrs.
rowe report any history of trauma, car accident? Thorax is good.
No, nothing like that.
Well, tell me what you see.
Oh, the nerves are stretched and splayed.
There's a large callus on the clavicle.
This isn't a tennis injury.
[Murmurs word.]
Compression was due to the clavicular fracture, not the thoracic outlet.
So this is repeated trauma? - Ooh, ooh, why would she lie? - Josh, what do you got? Three years ago, Mrs.
rowe took out a restraining order against her husband, alleging domestic abuse.
Call the police.
Have them file a report.
I'll go talk to Dr.
solis.
You fill in social services.
Come on.
Lena, there you are.
Get away from me.
- What's going on? Are - don't touch me.
Lena.
Lena, please, wait.
Are you okay? - Stop! Don't ever speak to me again.
[Dial tone buzzes.]
- Hello? - Olivia.
He's out.
- But what about sienna rowe? - Why haven't the police taken their report yet? - I don't know.
- Call them again.
And tell Dr.
solis.
[Cell phone vibrates.]
Oh, no.
[Grunting.]
Doctor, please.
He's not breathing.
Just give him 2ccs of Diazepam slowly.
Oh, my God.
What's happening? Let's bag him.
Hang in there, Donald! Give me one deep breath, Donald.
One deep breath.
- [Groans.]
- Nice and slow.
- [Sighs.]
- There we go.
- Sat's coming up.
Donald, can you hear me? It's Dr.
Cole.
I've got you.
I'm right here.
Wait, Dr.
Cole! She's in a meeting.
Dr.
young, I need to talk to you about a patient.
We were just speaking about you.
Frankly, we're concerned.
You can't cover your shifts.
You look like hell.
Is there something we need to know? Look, I have a patient suffering from prosopagnosia because of an AVM.
I have to go back in and remove it.
This is exactly the kind of reckless behavior we're worried about.
He can't recognize his own family, and now he's seizing.
All manageable symptoms.
If you operate, you could destroy his language, his memory, cause a complete visual field deficit.
- Not if he's awake.
If I do an awake craniotomy, I can map his brain and not damage any of his other senses.
Awake craniotomies are only effective in preserving language pathways, not the visual cortex.
This is a "hail Mary" pass with someone's life.
He doesn't have much of a life right now.
If the AVM ruptures, he'll be d enough.
Dr.
Cole, you've never performed this procedure before, have you? - No.
So you have an unblemished record? Wait, what kind of logic is that? And you're doing what to get us nationally ranked? I'll allow it.
Thank you.
[Train horn honks.]
[P.
A.
In background.]
Olivia.
How do I know it's you? Uh We used to dream of traveling together to the opposite end of the earth so that Ian could have the day and I could spend the whole night with you.
We never did, did we? No, we we never did.
- I told you I didn't want to see you again.
- You're not safe.
Is that supposed to scare me? Because it doesn't.
I never stopped looking over my shoulder.
He's gonna come for you, Olivia, and if I can find you, so can he.
What am I supposed to do? Move? - Yes, as far away as you can.
I'll pay for it.
- You're serious? I promised I'd protect you, and I'm gonna keep that promise.
Okay, I just spent the last five years putting my life back together after you left it in pieces.
I am not gonna let you or Ian destroy it again.
You forgot this.
- This is yours.
- I'm living with someone now.
He doesn't know about you, and I don't want him to.
I'm so sorry.
Don't be.
It wasn't you, was it? I'll never forgive him.
He just wanted me to love him instead of you.
He's not gonna stop obsessing over you, stalking you.
Jason, I release you of your obligation to me.
I've moved on with my life.
So should you.
I think you know what I'm gonna say.
You could've been paralyzed.
Whoever did this to you doesn't deserve your protection.
Maybe you don't understand the severity of your situation.
[Laughs.]
The severity of my situation? We met when we were 14.
We've been together for 30 years.
My husband is a part of me.
I can't separate myself from him no more than I can cut off an arm or a leg.
I just want him to stop.
He won't, not on his own.
- Believe me, I know.
- Well, what do I do? I'm gonna help you any way that I can.
I promise.
[Knocks at door.]
[Door opens.]
Oh, good, you're here.
This is sienna rowe.
Her husband did this to her Dr.
Cole.
I'm not here to take a report.
Excuse me? I'm her husband.
I'm taking her home.
Dr.
young, wait, please.
You cancel our lunches, skip out on board meetings, and now I have the privilege of seeing you twice in one day? I have a domestic abuse victim who's being released to the guy who put her here.
You alerted social services? Yes, but they gave her a copy of the victim's rights act, and they sent her on her way.
Is she pressing charges? No.
Her husband's a cop.
Now she's denying it ever happened.
There's nothing else you can do.
Whoa, wait, let me schedule some more tests.
Let me just keep her here, just until I can figure something else out.
There is no statute that's gonna allow you to do that.
Dr.
young, please.
I'm sorry.
It's out of your hands.
Well, that's not good enough! Dr.
Cole.
I like you.
I think you know that.
But every doctor has limitations, even you.
[Watch beeps.]
I need more time to finish the drug, so I found a nurse who's clearly crushing on me to give me a key to an empty lockdown room.
Nice, quiet cell.
I lock you up.
Tomorrow morning, I come and let you out.
Pretty good, right? What's the problem? - I promised someone I'd help them.
- No, Jason, you don't have time.
- I don't care.
- What are you gonna do, just let Ian out? I'll think of something.
[Doorbell rings.]
What are you doing here? Listen to me very, very carefully.
You have one minute to call your station - and turn yourself in.
- Or what? Or you're gonna see a side of me that's not so accommodating.
You have 30 seconds.
Get the hell off my property.
Please, make the call, for your sake.
- I warned you.
- No.
I'm warning you.
[Groans.]
[Groans.]
Make the call, and I'll go.
[Groaning.]
Give me a second to catch up.
Are we fighting? Is this a fight? Well, good.
We are fighting.
[Groaning.]
Whoo-hoo-hoo! [Both groaning, grunting[ [chuckles.]
I'll call! - I'm sorry.
Is that supposed to mean something to me? - You just said whatever deal you previously madehas now expired! [Groans.]
I swear, I'll never touch her again.
[Groans.]
I'll call, I'll call! [Groans.]
[Cell phone vibrates.]
Huh.
I'm being paged for surgery.
And I'm not even a surgeon.
[The black keys' lonely boy plays.]
Dr.
Cole, you've decided to grace us with your presence at such a late hour.
Oh, that's right.
You scheduled your awake craniotomy.
So they're all yours.
I'm going home.
Try not to kill the guy, will you? It doesn't look good for the department or my career.
You have a small penis, don't you? That can't be easy living with such a small penis.
Just don't take it out on the rest of us.
Oh, I'm not trying to ruin your career.
I'm trying to ruin mine.
Oh whoa oh I got a love that keeps me waiting oh oh oh I got a love that keeps me waiting I'm a lonely boy I'm a lonely boy oh whoa oh I got a love that keeps me waiting Let's have some fun.
Dr.
Cole? Put on some music.
You don't like music in the operating room.
I do now, and make it loud.
What's this? Your blood sugar levels.
- I'm fine.
- It's protocol, Dr.
Cole.
- Well, I won't tell if you won't tell.
I'm sorry, doctor, but you can't operate until you're glucose levels are logged.
I see a red door and I want it painted black your finger? - No colors anymore I want them to turn black I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes [Glucose test beeps.]
Glucose 315.
Give me 20 units of regular Insulin.
What's going on? Dr.
Cole, you're hyperglycemic.
You're going into diabetic shock! Get off of me! Get off! [Overlapping chatter.]
He's tachycardiac adverse reaction from the Insulin.
[Commands echoing.]
Stat! And get me a stretcher.
Like a newborn baby it just happens every day [ticking.]
[Inhales.]
Jason? Ruben.
Oh, thank God.
You're not gonna believe what happened.
It worked.
What do you mean? What worked? It worked.
I'm the one that moved up the surgery.
You did this on purpose? Are you insane? No, I knew he couldn't resist trying to screw it up.
Well, what if he did? What if he operated? No, he couldn't, not without passing the glucose test.
And how do you know he'd fail? Come on, ruben, personality affects body chemistry.
Aggression triggers adrenaline.
Which looks like high blood sugar.
He'd be given Insulin, which he didn't need.
- It would knock him out.
- Exactly.
- You know you can't do this on a regular basis, right? - Okay, vitals look good.
BP 120 over 80.
Sign my release form? Where are you going? I gotta prep for surgery.
You've been unconscious for ten hours.
Ten hours, really? Best sleep I had in days.
[Rock music.]
- How are you feeling, Donald? - Pretty good.
- Yeah? We don't skimp on the drugs here, do we? - Uh-uh.
- Well, all you have to do is talk to Dr.
Rivers here.
Just talk? Just talk.
And if I get too close to your language pathways, you'll be the one to tell me, okay? Can I talk about my daughter? - Yes, I think that's a great idea.
Shall we? Thank you.
- What's your daughter's name? - Shauna.
How old is shauna? She just turned seven.
We had a birthday party at our house.
What kind of birthday party? It was a tee-e-e-e-e - speech arrest.
- Unclamping.
Ask him again, Dr.
Rivers.
Donald, what kind of birthday party? It was a tea A tea party.
We had such a good time.
She gave me the biggest hug.
I'm inquiring about a surgeon who worked at your hospital in 2005 and the reasons for his dismissal.
A Dr.
Jason Cole.
[Mouthing.]
Thank you.
[Giggles.]
- Pinkies out.
- Pinkies up, and Lena.
Lena, wait, please.
Lena! I'm not asking for your forgiveness.
I know that I don't deserve that.
Lena, please.
What do you want? - I need to know what I did.
- What you did? Yes, the man in that motel room was not me.
[Groans.]
Lena, please! I know that it sounds crazy, but I need you to believe me.
I don't remember anything that happened.
- Oh, how convenient for you.
- Lena, I ran out of medication for something that I have no control over, but I'm begging you: Let me take responsibility for what I did.
Why should I believe anything you say? Because I'm I'm a terrible liar.
You don't remember kissing me? No, I you don't remember pushing me against the wall? Ripping off my clothes? Did I hurt you? Did I hurt you? No.
No, I pushed you away And then you laughed at me like it was just a game from the beginning.
I swear, that's not who I am.
Please, I need you to you will never see that side of me ever again.
I promise.
Goodbye, Jason.
I don't have the new drug yet, but I'm close.
I found the right neurotransmitter I don't want to control him anymore.
What do you mean? I want to eliminate him.
Jason, that's impossible I don't care.
I'll do anything.
I'lltakeanything.
Even if you could, we're talking extensive research trials.
How are you gonna buy yourself that kind of time? I'll make a truce with him.
I'll give him back his life.
I'll let him think that he's free, and then I'll kill him.
Ian, listen to me.
If we continue down this course, it'll only lead to our demise.
We have no choice but to coexist, so I will give you back your life if you stay away from mine.
We'll be free of each other.
We'll be free.
Do you accept? What are you doing outside, huh? Should we get some breakfast? Some pancakes? Is this your monkey? Would you like it back? Mmhmm.
- What's your name? - Cole.
Cole.
Cute.
Here you go, Cole.
Be careful.
Monkeys have been known to eat their young.

What happens at 8:25? Company.
Dr.
Rivers, what do we got? His name is Donald White.
Ruptured AVM, massive cerebral hemorrhaging, ICP 40, BP 100 over 60, and dropping.
Okay, let's hang a bag of packed red cells and type and cross two more.
Hi, Donald.
I'm Dr.
Cole.
Please, I don't wanna die.
Well, for what it's worth, we're on the same page.
Can you tell my family that I love them? I got a better idea:You'll tell them when you wake up.
Deal? What do you think, Jordan? I just took a look at this guy's ct.
You sure you wanna be making promises you can't keep? How about I take a swing before you call the fight? - Dr.
Cole, your glucose test.
- Thank you.
[Glucose test beeps.]
What is that? He's gotta check his blood sugar before he can operate.
He's diabetic? [Beeps.]
Clear.
Okay, away we go.
Drill.
[Drill whirrs.]
Suction.
Can't see a thing.
Where's all this blood coming from? Let's just call housekeeping and have them stick a hoover in this guy.
[Beeps.]
BP dropping.
80 over 40.
More suctionnow.
It's been over two hours, Jason.
You're not gonna get there.
- Yeah, I'm close.
[Beeps.]
- BP's 60 over 20.
We're losing him.
The more time we spend on this patient, the less time we have for patients we can actually help.
[Beeping continues.]
Got a defect.
Clip? And - Gotcha.
- BP's rising.
80 over 40.
Well done, everyone.
Hope it was worth the wait.
[Watch beeps.]
- Ah, just the man I wanna see.
- I told you: I wouldn't feel right about dating my boss.
Would you please? You're so not my type.
You're nice.
Well, it's the nice ones you gotta watch out for.
Diamond club seats for tonight's Phillies game.
[Groans.]
Compliments of your acoustic neuroma.
$1,000 tickets.
Knock yourself out.
That's thank you, but I I just can't do it.
Why? I happen to know that today is your birthday, and just because your diabetes prevents you from working at night doesn't prevent you from going to a game.
Well, thanks.
It's really nice of you.
Calvin.
- Yeah.
You're a Phillies fan, right? Yeah.
Give me the playbyplay tomorrow.
I thought you loved the Phillies! I do, just can't enjoy the night games.
Just not myself.
[Watch beeps.]
Okay, you start tomorrow with an.
ECIC Bypass at 9:30, 1:00 P.
M.
phone interview with the new england journal of medicine, 3:30 lecture on brain glioma treatment, 5:00 board meeting, a 6:15 morbidity and mortality meeting, and if there's time Josh, there won't be.
Will you excuse me for a second, sheri? Thanks.
Hey.
- Hey.
Dr.
Cole! Here's your coma for the night.
[Groans.]
Great.
Thank you for your brilliance, but even more for your discretion.
No, thank you.
I'm gonna make bank off this.
I'm gonna call it "oblivion.
" What do you think? Is that too celebrity fragrance, or is that a good thing? I think you should keep working on it.
[Scoffs.]
Not so fast.
I may be illegally supplying experimental drugs to the chief of neurosurgery, but I still have standards.
Check this out.
These are the results from your last metabolic panel, and there's red flags all over the playing field.
Sodium, potassium, chloride, all your levels are off the charts.
It must be an anomaly.
I feel fine.
I ran the test three times, all with the same results.
You need to take this seriously.
Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow, when I have time.
Thank you.
[Watch beeps.]
You have a good night.
See you tomorrow.
Happy Birthday, Dr.
Cole.
II don't know what you're talking about, Dr.
solis.
Wow, you're a terrible liar.
That is good to know.
Who told you it was my birthday? Google.
You googled me? - I have no idea what you're talking about.
[Chuckles.]
You know, some friends and I are going down to the Franklin later.
You should come by.
I'll buy you a drink.
- I'd love that.
I really would.
- Great.
- I just I can't.
- Oh, right, of course.
It's your birthday.
- [Laughs.]
No, no, it's not like that.
I just - no, have fun.
You deserve it.
Thanks.
Um, you don't actually have plans, do you? Am I that terrible a liar? - Mm, aren't you going to go anywhere? Uh, church.
Integration.
Thanks, everybody.
Thanks for coming.
[Applause.]
Keep coming.
Will! Hey.
Eh, look who missed the support group again.
Come on.
What can I say? Maybe I like having you all to myself.
That is not how this works.
You know that.
Come on.
I don't have what you have.
I don't have what they have.
I don't belong in your group, will.
Dissociative identity disorder.
It affects each of us differently.
Okay, well, it's been five years without incident.
Think I've got it under control.
You knock yourself out every night.
That is not control.
That is avoidance.
Well, I would probably benefit from some therapy, or meditation, or yoga, but what am I gonna do? I got 12 hours a day, and then he shows up.
Fine, start there.
Why does Ian price come at 8:25 every night and leave at 8:25 every morning? Why? Because that's how it's always been for as long as I can remember.
That's why.
If you're not here to change, what are you doing here? There's a woman.
Okay.
Now I'm interested.
I don't know what to do.
I like her.
I like her a lot.
Good, that is good for you.
No, it's not good for me.
What kind of relationship can I have? I'm only conscious 12 hours a day.
Jason [Beeps.]
You found a drug to lock up your alter, but you're the one who's the prisoner.
What other choice do I have? You still got some time tonight, right? Surprise yourself.
Make it count.
[Up-tempo music.]
[Overlapping chatter.]
I always wanted to be an astronaut.
Mm.
Visit unknown worlds.
That's why I love neurology, because our minds are just vast and mysterious, waiting to be explored what? Well, that's I'm definitely going to steal that from you, if you don't mind.
And you? Why did you become a doctor? Well, I always wanted to be an astronaut, you know? Mysterious, and - I'm serious.
Be serious.
- Seriously? - Yeah.
Well, when I was a kid, I I hurt someone very badly, and, uh, all my life, I've felt like I needed to make up for that, so And what happened? [Beeps.]
- Oh, ah, I should go.
- No, stay.
All of this time, you've kept me at arm's length.
What, is there somebody else? - [Scoffs.]
You could say that.
And now? Well, now, it's Just us.
[Groans.]
[Wispy voices.]
[Groans.]
Jason! - I have to go.
- Oh, no! - I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Sorry.
- Hey, hey.
- [Sighs.]
[Dog barks.]
[Sighs and exhales.]
[Groans.]
Okay.
[Panting.]
[Groans.]
[Panting.]
[Groans.]
[Panting.]
[Sighs.]
[Clicking.]
It's not working.
It's not working.
[Sirens wail.]

I know.
Find me a new one? Um, then have LFTS run, then schedule an mri, and send the re What patient is this for? It's me.
So clear today's schedule.
- What about your consults? - Cancel them.
- You have pre-op and post-op patients waiting for you.
- Okay, well, push everything else.
Oh, see if Dr.
Freeman has an opening.
I should probably get a vasectomy.
The patient's Donald white.
Who's presenting? A 37-year-old m-m-male.
Significant b-b-bleeding from AVM was controlled during craniotomy.
If you k-k-keep stuttering, I'm gonna t-t-throw something at you.
I've been paging you all morning.
I need you to pick up rounds for me.
Where the hell have you been? Should be conscious by now.
Give him half an amp of narcan and page me if he doesn't respond.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Dr.
solis? Uh, sienna, this is Dr.
Cole.
He'll be performing your surgery tomorrow.
- Hi, it's nice to meet you.
- Hi.
Thoracic outlet syndrome.
But there's abnormal shadows on the clavicle.
I play tennis every day.
I was serving, and I just felt something snap.
- Oh, I bet you have a mean serve.
- [Laughs.]
Yeah, well, my husband thinks so.
Well, it's a very straightforward procedure.
We'll get you back on the court in no time.
Dr.
solis, can I have a word with you? Excuse us.
You left in such a panic.
I was worried sick.
I know.
I don't have your number.
I couldn't call you.
What happened? Okay.
Lena, listen.
I-I can't do this right now with you.
Things have changed.
Did I get the wrong impression last night, or No, no, I care about you.
I really do.
I just I don't want you to get hurt.
- You don't need to explain.
- No, that's the truth, Lena.
I'm a big girl.
I can take it.
Whatever this is, whatever you're going through, if you need a friend, just someone to talk to, I'm here, okay? He's immune.
No.
No, maybe the dosage needs to be adjusted, or the vial you gave me was compromised.
It wasn't.
Maybe the chemical compounds broke down over time.
Jason, he's immune.
No, ruben, no.
That'snotpossible! It's been five years.
He built up a resistance.
Then make it stronger.
I have been, every year.
If I make it any stronger, it could kill you.
I'm sorry.
[Scoffs.]
So you're saying I have two hours left until he ruins my life? How do you know what he's going to do? Because I saw him.
I saw the look in his eyes.
He wants revenge.
All right, look.
I'll work on something new.
I'll start right now.
I won't leave until I figure it out, okay? But Jason, what are you gonna do about tonight? [Whistles.]
Thank you.
- Where to? As far away as you can get.
There you go.
Uh A messenger is gonna come pick these up, and I need it to get to this address in Philadelphia, okay? Sure.
- Thanks.
Oh, and if you see me later, walk the other way.
[Exhales.]
[Moans.]
[Whimpers.]
Mr.
white? Stop! Stop! Get away! Mr.
white? Get it away, get it away from me! That's not me! That's not me! - Page Dr.
Cole.
- That's not me! [Shower running.]
[Breathing heavily.]
Corrections by wilson0804 That's better.
No cash, no credit cards.
That's not very nice, Jason.
"Lena.
" [Dial tone buzzes.]
What are you doing right now? [Knocks at door.]
Jason.
Are you okay? I am now.
What is going on? - Well, I thought we'd go out, but now I think we should stay.
[Exhales.]
Oh, what happened? I couldn't find your number.
Jason, look, talk to me.
What is going on? You've been on my mind whoo ooh ooh ooh ooh I like you, don't I? Oh, no, that's the million dollar question.
- Oh, I do.
I definitely do.
Look, I don't wanna play games.
Neither do I.
I don't have the time.
So this is exactly what you thought it would be Hoped it would be.
You know, there are nicer hotels, closer hotels, if that's your thing.
Well, I wanted you to have time to Anticipate, fantasize.
About? This And this [Snap.]
And this.
[Snap.]
Come from way above to bring me love.
To bring me love and now what? [Tense music.]
[Horns honking.]
[Coughs.]
[Hacking.]
[Spits.]
[Groans.]
[Sighs.]
You prick.
[Coughs.]
This morning you missed clinic with your residents.
You have consults piling up.
You were a no-show at the board meeting.
Dr.
young wants to see you asap, and did you send that to yourself? I need you to close out my credit cards, freeze all my bank accounts, change the password on my computers.
And I need you to go to the pharmacy to pick up some nicotine gum and patch.
- I didn't know you smoked.
- I don't.
Donald, the reason you can't recognize me is because of your disorder.
It's called prosopagnosia.
It's a neurological condition that prevents any type of facial recognition.
Is it permanent? Well, during your surgery, we found what's called an AVM.
Now, what that is is basically a tangled knot of blood vessels in your brain.
I'm afraid it's too dangerous to remove, and if that's what's causing the pressure, then your condition would be permanent.
We should know more in a couple of days.
I can't recognize myself.
I can't recognize anybody.
Who are those people? That's your family.
[Ekg beeps.]
This is sienna rowe, 41-year-old female tennis player.
Mri demonstrated brachial plexus compression and unknown mass.
Our plan today is to perform a thoracic outlet decompression through supraclavicular incision.
Dr.
Cole.
Just making sure.
Dr.
Rivers, did Mrs.
rowe report any history of trauma, car accident? Thorax is good.
No, nothing like that.
Well, tell me what you see.
Oh, the nerves are stretched and splayed.
There's a large callus on the clavicle.
This isn't a tennis injury.
[Murmurs word.]
Compression was due to the clavicular fracture, not the thoracic outlet.
So this is repeated trauma? - Ooh, ooh, why would she lie? - Josh, what do you got? Three years ago, Mrs.
rowe took out a restraining order against her husband, alleging domestic abuse.
Call the police.
Have them file a report.
I'll go talk to Dr.
solis.
You fill in social services.
Come on.
Lena, there you are.
Get away from me.
- What's going on? Are - don't touch me.
Lena.
Lena, please, wait.
Are you okay? - Stop! Don't ever speak to me again.
[Dial tone buzzes.]
- Hello? - Olivia.
He's out.
- But what about sienna rowe? - Why haven't the police taken their report yet? - I don't know.
- Call them again.
And tell Dr.
solis.
[Cell phone vibrates.]
Oh, no.
[Grunting.]
Doctor, please.
He's not breathing.
Just give him 2ccs of Diazepam slowly.
Oh, my God.
What's happening? Let's bag him.
Hang in there, Donald! Give me one deep breath, Donald.
One deep breath.
- [Groans.]
- Nice and slow.
- [Sighs.]
- There we go.
- Sat's coming up.
Donald, can you hear me? It's Dr.
Cole.
I've got you.
I'm right here.
Wait, Dr.
Cole! She's in a meeting.
Dr.
young, I need to talk to you about a patient.
We were just speaking about you.
Frankly, we're concerned.
You can't cover your shifts.
You look like hell.
Is there something we need to know? Look, I have a patient suffering from prosopagnosia because of an AVM.
I have to go back in and remove it.
This is exactly the kind of reckless behavior we're worried about.
He can't recognize his own family, and now he's seizing.
All manageable symptoms.
If you operate, you could destroy his language, his memory, cause a complete visual field deficit.
- Not if he's awake.
If I do an awake craniotomy, I can map his brain and not damage any of his other senses.
Awake craniotomies are only effective in preserving language pathways, not the visual cortex.
This is a "hail Mary" pass with someone's life.
He doesn't have much of a life right now.
If the AVM ruptures, he'll be d enough.
Dr.
Cole, you've never performed this procedure before, have you? - No.
So you have an unblemished record? Wait, what kind of logic is that? And you're doing what to get us nationally ranked? I'll allow it.
Thank you.
[Train horn honks.]
[P.
A.
In background.]
Olivia.
How do I know it's you? Uh We used to dream of traveling together to the opposite end of the earth so that Ian could have the day and I could spend the whole night with you.
We never did, did we? No, we we never did.
- I told you I didn't want to see you again.
- You're not safe.
Is that supposed to scare me? Because it doesn't.
I never stopped looking over my shoulder.
He's gonna come for you, Olivia, and if I can find you, so can he.
What am I supposed to do? Move? - Yes, as far away as you can.
I'll pay for it.
- You're serious? I promised I'd protect you, and I'm gonna keep that promise.
Okay, I just spent the last five years putting my life back together after you left it in pieces.
I am not gonna let you or Ian destroy it again.
You forgot this.
- This is yours.
- I'm living with someone now.
He doesn't know about you, and I don't want him to.
I'm so sorry.
Don't be.
It wasn't you, was it? I'll never forgive him.
He just wanted me to love him instead of you.
He's not gonna stop obsessing over you, stalking you.
Jason, I release you of your obligation to me.
I've moved on with my life.
So should you.
I think you know what I'm gonna say.
You could've been paralyzed.
Whoever did this to you doesn't deserve your protection.
Maybe you don't understand the severity of your situation.
[Laughs.]
The severity of my situation? We met when we were 14.
We've been together for 30 years.
My husband is a part of me.
I can't separate myself from him no more than I can cut off an arm or a leg.
I just want him to stop.
He won't, not on his own.
- Believe me, I know.
- Well, what do I do? I'm gonna help you any way that I can.
I promise.
[Knocks at door.]
[Door opens.]
Oh, good, you're here.
This is sienna rowe.
Her husband did this to her Dr.
Cole.
I'm not here to take a report.
Excuse me? I'm her husband.
I'm taking her home.
Dr.
young, wait, please.
You cancel our lunches, skip out on board meetings, and now I have the privilege of seeing you twice in one day? I have a domestic abuse victim who's being released to the guy who put her here.
You alerted social services? Yes, but they gave her a copy of the victim's rights act, and they sent her on her way.
Is she pressing charges? No.
Her husband's a cop.
Now she's denying it ever happened.
There's nothing else you can do.
Whoa, wait, let me schedule some more tests.
Let me just keep her here, just until I can figure something else out.
There is no statute that's gonna allow you to do that.
Dr.
young, please.
I'm sorry.
It's out of your hands.
Well, that's not good enough! Dr.
Cole.
I like you.
I think you know that.
But every doctor has limitations, even you.
[Watch beeps.]
I need more time to finish the drug, so I found a nurse who's clearly crushing on me to give me a key to an empty lockdown room.
Nice, quiet cell.
I lock you up.
Tomorrow morning, I come and let you out.
Pretty good, right? What's the problem? - I promised someone I'd help them.
- No, Jason, you don't have time.
- I don't care.
- What are you gonna do, just let Ian out? I'll think of something.
[Doorbell rings.]
What are you doing here? Listen to me very, very carefully.
You have one minute to call your station - and turn yourself in.
- Or what? Or you're gonna see a side of me that's not so accommodating.
You have 30 seconds.
Get the hell off my property.
Please, make the call, for your sake.
- I warned you.
- No.
I'm warning you.
[Groans.]
[Groans.]
Make the call, and I'll go.
[Groaning.]
Give me a second to catch up.
Are we fighting? Is this a fight? Well, good.
We are fighting.
[Groaning.]
Whoo-hoo-hoo! [Both groaning, grunting[ [chuckles.]
I'll call! - I'm sorry.
Is that supposed to mean something to me? - You just said whatever deal you previously madehas now expired! [Groans.]
I swear, I'll never touch her again.
[Groans.]
I'll call, I'll call! [Groans.]
[Cell phone vibrates.]
Huh.
I'm being paged for surgery.
And I'm not even a surgeon.
[The black keys' lonely boy plays.]
Dr.
Cole, you've decided to grace us with your presence at such a late hour.
Oh, that's right.
You scheduled your awake craniotomy.
So they're all yours.
I'm going home.
Try not to kill the guy, will you? It doesn't look good for the department or my career.
You have a small penis, don't you? That can't be easy living with such a small penis.
Just don't take it out on the rest of us.
Oh, I'm not trying to ruin your career.
I'm trying to ruin mine.
Oh whoa oh I got a love that keeps me waiting oh oh oh I got a love that keeps me waiting I'm a lonely boy I'm a lonely boy oh whoa oh I got a love that keeps me waiting Let's have some fun.
Dr.
Cole? Put on some music.
You don't like music in the operating room.
I do now, and make it loud.
What's this? Your blood sugar levels.
- I'm fine.
- It's protocol, Dr.
Cole.
- Well, I won't tell if you won't tell.
I'm sorry, doctor, but you can't operate until you're glucose levels are logged.
I see a red door and I want it painted black your finger? - No colors anymore I want them to turn black I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes [Glucose test beeps.]
Glucose 315.
Give me 20 units of regular Insulin.
What's going on? Dr.
Cole, you're hyperglycemic.
You're going into diabetic shock! Get off of me! Get off! [Overlapping chatter.]
He's tachycardiac adverse reaction from the Insulin.
[Commands echoing.]
Stat! And get me a stretcher.
Like a newborn baby it just happens every day [ticking.]
[Inhales.]
Jason? Ruben.
Oh, thank God.
You're not gonna believe what happened.
It worked.
What do you mean? What worked? It worked.
I'm the one that moved up the surgery.
You did this on purpose? Are you insane? No, I knew he couldn't resist trying to screw it up.
Well, what if he did? What if he operated? No, he couldn't, not without passing the glucose test.
And how do you know he'd fail? Come on, ruben, personality affects body chemistry.
Aggression triggers adrenaline.
Which looks like high blood sugar.
He'd be given Insulin, which he didn't need.
- It would knock him out.
- Exactly.
- You know you can't do this on a regular basis, right? - Okay, vitals look good.
BP 120 over 80.
Sign my release form? Where are you going? I gotta prep for surgery.
You've been unconscious for ten hours.
Ten hours, really? Best sleep I had in days.
[Rock music.]
- How are you feeling, Donald? - Pretty good.
- Yeah? We don't skimp on the drugs here, do we? - Uh-uh.
- Well, all you have to do is talk to Dr.
Rivers here.
Just talk? Just talk.
And if I get too close to your language pathways, you'll be the one to tell me, okay? Can I talk about my daughter? - Yes, I think that's a great idea.
Shall we? Thank you.
- What's your daughter's name? - Shauna.
How old is shauna? She just turned seven.
We had a birthday party at our house.
What kind of birthday party? It was a tee-e-e-e-e - speech arrest.
- Unclamping.
Ask him again, Dr.
Rivers.
Donald, what kind of birthday party? It was a tea A tea party.
We had such a good time.
She gave me the biggest hug.
I'm inquiring about a surgeon who worked at your hospital in 2005 and the reasons for his dismissal.
A Dr.
Jason Cole.
[Mouthing.]
Thank you.
[Giggles.]
- Pinkies out.
- Pinkies up, and Lena.
Lena, wait, please.
Lena! I'm not asking for your forgiveness.
I know that I don't deserve that.
Lena, please.
What do you want? - I need to know what I did.
- What you did? Yes, the man in that motel room was not me.
[Groans.]
Lena, please! I know that it sounds crazy, but I need you to believe me.
I don't remember anything that happened.
- Oh, how convenient for you.
- Lena, I ran out of medication for something that I have no control over, but I'm begging you: Let me take responsibility for what I did.
Why should I believe anything you say? Because I'm I'm a terrible liar.
You don't remember kissing me? No, I you don't remember pushing me against the wall? Ripping off my clothes? Did I hurt you? Did I hurt you? No.
No, I pushed you away And then you laughed at me like it was just a game from the beginning.
I swear, that's not who I am.
Please, I need you to you will never see that side of me ever again.
I promise.
Goodbye, Jason.
I don't have the new drug yet, but I'm close.
I found the right neurotransmitter I don't want to control him anymore.
What do you mean? I want to eliminate him.
Jason, that's impossible I don't care.
I'll do anything.
I'lltakeanything.
Even if you could, we're talking extensive research trials.
How are you gonna buy yourself that kind of time? I'll make a truce with him.
I'll give him back his life.
I'll let him think that he's free, and then I'll kill him.
Ian, listen to me.
If we continue down this course, it'll only lead to our demise.
We have no choice but to coexist, so I will give you back your life if you stay away from mine.
We'll be free of each other.
We'll be free.
Do you accept? What are you doing outside, huh? Should we get some breakfast? Some pancakes? Is this your monkey? Would you like it back? Mmhmm.
- What's your name? - Cole.
Cole.
Cute.
Here you go, Cole.
Be careful.
Monkeys have been known to eat their young.
