Body of Proof s01e05 Episode Script

Help me.
Liberty Mall.
- You know what they have there? - What? A shark.
Why in the world would you know that? Northeast General is a couple blocks from here.
Whenever I used to operate, I'd come visit the shark.
Oh, communing with one of your own, huh? I'm kinder and gentler now.
- Oh, yeah, right.
- I am.
- Good morning, detective.
- Good morning, Dr.
Hunt.
Peter.
What do we got, Sam? Well, a couple of shoppers found the body, called it in.
There's no ID on him.
I'm thinking it's a mugging gone wrong.
A man was seen hurrying away from the scene carrying a duffel bag.
African-American, Security cameras? That would be too easy.
So the guy gets hit on the head, and he comes over the rail.
I see multiple cuts and scratches from the bushes, but I don't see anything bad enough to kill him.
- What are you looking for? - A pulse.
I think it's safe to say, by the time you get the call, he's already dead.
You don't wanna know some of the mistakes I've seen.
Detective, found it on the street two blocks away.
No cash or credit cards.
He left the driver's license.
Ted Harbison.
Callowhill Street.
- Age 35.
- Let me see that.
Is there a cheese steak place around here? Yeah, probably.
Why? That's cheese steak cheese.
God, how many cheese steak places can there be in one neighborhood? Your order.
Thank you.
What can I get you, officers? - Detective.
- Sorry.
You seen an African-American guy round here 30s, baggy jeans, tattoos on his arms? Carl, get out here.
Go! - What's her name? - Jessica Archer.
Age 33, died in her sleep in her hotel room.
What a waste.
Cause of death? This.
Saddle embolism blocking the left and right main pulmonary arteries.
It's as thick as your finger.
She's young, her valves are normal and she looks healthy.
So how did she get a blood clot the size of a hot dog? Carl Anders, member of the Bronson Street gang.
- Ex-member.
- Current or ex, causing a death in the commission of a robbery is criminally negligent homicide.
Look, I didn't rob nobody, all right? I went on my break.
That's it.
And you expect me to believe a poor ex-gangbanger like you, - right? - It's true.
Ted Harbison's credit cards.
Explain that.
I saw a bag on the ground, I took it.
And you didn't see the guy you took it from? I saw a guy.
- He was up ahead of me, kind of weaving.
- Weaving? You know what I'm saying? Like he was drunk or something.
He ducked down some stairs.
By the time I got there, he was gone.
The bag was on the ground, so I took it.
But I didn't see no body in the bushes.
I do not see any evidence of physical trauma.
What else did they find in that bag of his? "Toiletries, two issues of Certified Accountant Magazine, private pilot logbooks and flight maps.
" "Prescriptions for Vicodin and promethazine.
" What's promethazine? It's prescribed post-op for nausea and vomiting.
Is there a doctor listed? Dr.
Mark Chandler.
Northeast General Hospital.
Those are porthole incisions.
This guy just had surgery.
Let's get his clothes off.
- Move that light, will you? - Sure.
So tell me something.
They let you just walk out of the hospital right after surgery? Not right after.
He probably went in first thing this morning.
The whole idea is to shorten recovery time.
Four little holes.
That one's for the scope, these two are for the instruments, and that one's for whatever they took out of him.
By the location, I would say Gallbladder.
But that's just routine, right? Hey, you okay? Your paresthesia acting up? I am fine.
Let's see what's going on in him.
Why is his abdomen full of blood? You can tell Sam that a mugger did not kill Ted Harbison.
His surgeon did.
Ted passed a gallstone last year.
Anyone who's ever done it will tell you one is enough.
When his symptoms started up again, we found a surgeon right away.
It wasn't the surgery, was it? We're looking into every possibility.
Can you tell me why he was alone? Hospitals don't normally release post-op patients without an escort.
After surgery, Ted said he'd be fine in recovery.
And I should just come back after work.
I had no idea he was gonna sneak out by himself.
If only I'd stayed.
- Your husband was an accountant? - Yes.
Because we found pilot logbooks and flight maps in his duffle, I don't know too many accountant pilots.
He wasn't a pilot, really.
He had not flown since the day he got his license.
Then why did he get his license? To overcome his fear of flying.
That's Ted, you see.
Mr.
Sensible.
If he got caught in the rain in a nice pair of shoes, he'd take his shoes off.
Easier to clean feet than shoes.
Mrs.
Harbison, I promise you we're gonna find out what happened to your husband.
Well, according to Jessica's labs, she didn't have cancer, she wasn't a smoker, or pregnant, or dehydrated.
And she definitely wasn't obese.
Which reminds me, you had your heart checked lately? You had your face checked lately? Wait.
Look at this.
Jessica had elevated levels of progesterone.
She was on the pill.
Okay, she has one marginal risk factor for hypercoagulation.
But there are millions of women on the pill and they don't all die in their hotel beds.
- Wait, that's it.
- What's it? She died in her hotel room, right? You thinking she just got off an airplane.
- How long since you been here? - Not since Gwen took over.
- Gwen? - Gwen Baldwin.
Nurse turned equipment rep turned hospital administrator.
A real healthcare success story.
I'm getting the warm fuzzies.
We were friends once.
You'd be amazed how many Christmas cards stop coming after you've killed a patient on the operating table.
Just a second, Megan.
I've never been accused of having a green thumb, but these have become my obsession.
We're here about Ted Harbison.
Mark Chandler operated on him this morning.
A cholecystectomy, to be exact.
He exsanguinated internally.
Might be an issue with his care.
Well, then there are procedures that have to be followed.
Can you give us a second? Gwen.
I know all about your procedures.
I just wanna talk to him, surgeon to surgeon.
I used to be one, if you remember.
Of course, I'm sorry.
That must have been horrible for you.
The car accident and then losing a patient.
If I didn't reach out to you, it was because I was dealing with a loss of my own.
My son, Nick.
He OD'd his freshman year at a frat party.
The bonsai was his.
For four years, I have kept it alive through plant lice and root rot.
Oh, God, l Gwen, I'm No, that is awful.
Oh, God.
Let's go find Dr.
Chandler.
I'm late for rounds.
What's this all about? Dr.
Hunt is with the Medical Examiner's Office.
You might wanna pay attention.
Ted Harbison, you operated on him this morning, a cholecystectomy.
Eight o'clock.
Discharged at noon, I believe.
And dead an hour later.
He was my last surgery of the morning.
Then I went to my country club after.
- Is he really dead? - Exsanguinated internally.
- Well, that's not possible.
- It's possible, it happened.
Ted had two cystic ducts, not one.
You should've checked for anomalous vasculature, but you didn't.
- You clipped one artery, missed the other.
- Hey, hold on a second here.
And how a man with crashing blood pressure managed to sneak out of your recovery room, that's another question I have.
- He was a dead man walking.
- Wait.
You're wrong, Dr.
Hunt.
Of course I checked for anomalous vasculature.
And of course I clipped both arteries.
The procedure went perfectly.
You don't believe me, check the video.
Like I said, I'm late for rounds.
I'm gonna need that video.
From now on, you can talk to our general counsel.
Kate is not gonna be happy with you walking around making accusations - without all your ducks in a row.
- Kate is not a surgeon.
You do not close a patient without checking your work.
Somehow I don't think your friend Gwen is gonna hand over that video anytime soon.
And how are you gonna prove Chandler wrong without it, huh? Excuse me.
I'm Nancy Follett.
I'm a surgical nurse.
- I couldn't help overhearing.
- Yes? Chandler is a disaster waiting to happen.
The hospital loves him because he whips through surgeries faster than a pit crew, but he's reckless.
He's left sponges in the patients and then blamed the nurses for getting the count wrong.
- Has he ever lost a patient before? - Not that I know of.
But it's just a matter of time.
- Somebody wanted to see me? - Dr.
Gross, this is Karen Archer.
Oh, my God.
You're Jessica's twin sister.
So if this guy is leaving sponges in patients, how is he still practicing? Happens all the time, unfortunately.
The nurses keep the count, but if the surgeons disagree and the nurses dare correct them, they get their heads handed to them.
Well, remind me to never need an operation.
- Looks like an unclipped artery to me.
- Look again.
What are they? Traumatic impressions on the adventitia, the outer lining of the artery.
Chandler did clip both arteries.
Okay, so, what happened to the clips? There's only one place they could be.
Well, I'll be damned.
We removed Ted Harbison's blood at autopsy and this is what we found when we put it through a sieve.
It turns out that Dr.
Chandler did clip the other artery, but look at the clips.
I can understand one not being properly closed, maybe, but three? Either Chandler was in such a hurry to get to his golf game, he didn't notice, making this malpractice.
Or that's how he wanted it to look.
- Murder made to look like malpractice? - Never seen such a bad clip job.
- Yeah, but what's the motive? - Well, Ted was an accountant, right? So maybe there's a hidden connection between him and Chandler.
Well, guess I know what I'm gonna be doing the rest of my afternoon.
Murder by malpractice.
- That's bold, even for you.
- Thank you.
So bold that I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the patient you lost.
Expiation for past sins maybe? What I did was an accident and Yeah, I'm haunted by it.
That guy isn't haunted by anything.
Gonna put him out of business.
No, what you're gonna do is give Chandler every benefit of the doubt.
Then you nail him after you are absolutely sure.
We have a couple of problems before we get to that.
The video? Right, the hospital has a video of Ted's surgery.
I need you to lean on the COO to give us a copy.
- Her name is Gwen Baldwin.
- Is that all? No.
We also need the staple gun that the doctor used during the procedure.
Usually they're destroyed within 24 hours of use.
Without it, he will claim equipment failure, and we will not have any evidence to prove otherwise.
- Unless it was equipment failure.
- Are you gonna help me or not? She died from a clot that stopped blood flowing to her heart.
We checked her for risk factors and found that she was on the pill.
That, in combination with her recent travels, leads us to think it was deep vein thrombosis.
Our parents are dead.
We're all each other had.
We were inseparable once.
But life happened.
Different careers in different cities.
But I always missed the way we used to be.
Thank you.
Would you like to go somewhere else to talk? You mentioned something about my sister's travels.
What did you mean? Long flights, sitting for long periods of time can cause blood clots.
That, in combination with other risk factors.
Do you know where your sister was flying from? She didn't fly from anywhere.
- But she was staying in a hotel.
- No, Jess lives in Philly.
She was staying at that hotel because her apartment's being painted.
I have to go to her apartment tomorrow.
Any idea where 45th and Locust is? - I've never been to Philly before.
- Yeah, it's It's near Penn campus.
Where is that? It's It's in West Philly.
Would you come with me? We grew up in Minneapolis.
That's where my parents are buried.
That's where I'm taking Jess and her stuff.
I could use some help finding my way around.
And you're the only person I know here.
Well, I I'm your sister's doctor.
And you're in an emotional state and It would be inappropriate, you know, right? Don't you think? - What do you think? - I don't think it'd be inappropriate at all.
See you tomorrow? Dr.
Chandler was a referral from my ob-gyn.
We'd never heard of him before that.
Well, maybe in a different context.
Did Ted ever do any accounting for him? No.
No, most of his clients were nonprofits.
- You recycle? - End of the counter.
Nonprofits need accountants? I know, right? We used to joke about it.
Who had less money, us or his clients? For a money guy, Ted was not very good at making it.
Ted have any life insurance? Unfortunately, there is no video.
We checked.
The recording equipment was turned off.
Okay, I didn't come here to be stonewalled.
Mr.
Hollis, you sure you wanna tangle with me? We can't give you a video that doesn't exist.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but your bottom line depends on tax breaks that are up for renewal by the city council.
- Mayor's office.
- Hi, Maggie.
- It's - Hi, Dr.
Murphey, how are you? - I'm fine, Maggie, thanks.
Is he in? - Yeah, hold on, I'll put you right through.
There really is no videotape.
I swear.
You can bring your IT people in and check yourself.
But in the spirit of cooperation These are the employee files for everyone on Dr.
Chandler's surgical team with access to that equipment.
Well, that's a start.
I also want access to your biohazard waste.
How did I ever let you talk me into this? What I wanna know is, where the hell is Megan? This is her case.
Well, Megan offered to help us solve our case if we helped her solve hers.
What do you mean solve our case? Jessica Archer died from a blood clot.
Well, technically, yes, but I would like to be able to tell her sister more than just what killed her.
Why? Because I'm seeing her tomorrow and I don't know what to talk about.
You using a dead girl to hit on her sister? No, no way.
I told her it was inappropriate, but she kind of insisted.
So you telling me I'm up to my knees in bio-waste just so you have something to talk about? - Yes.
- Oh, no, I'm so out of here.
- Are you afraid of flying? - No.
That was a hell of thing that Ted did.
Getting into that pilot's seat just to overcome his fear.
I get the feeling that this case has brought up a fear of your own.
One that I will never have to face again.
But you're worried that Chandler will.
You know what happens to a surgeon when he screws up? Physician-related deaths get reported to an independent commission, and that commission can take as long as they want to act.
Meanwhile, the doctor is still performing surgery.
- You know why? - Lawyers? Malpractice lawyers.
I could have hidden behind them if I wanted to, but I didn't.
I mean, how could I live with myself? So I settled out of court.
And when I found out that my paresthesias were not going away, I just closed my practice and that was that.
Well, if it matters, it was a It was a hell of a thing that you did, Megan.
I don't see Dr.
Chandler doing that anytime soon, do you? Who's the man? Who's the man? You forgetting somebody? Who are the men? Who are the men? All right, bring them over.
Let's have a look.
First, Jessica Archer.
All right.
You're on.
Did she have fatigue, shortness of breath, palpitations before she died? - How would we know? - Fair point.
- Blood in the urine? - No.
All right, that eliminates paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.
What about kidney damage? No nephrotic syndrome.
Did you check for lupus anticoagulant, acquired conditions? - Of course.
- Hereditary conditions? Protein C, protein S? Factor V Leiden? All very common.
- Hand it over.
Thank you.
- You're good.
Good.
Good.
So it was equipment failure.
The seal is broken.
Someone has tampered with this gun.
You got the wrong guy.
I didn't do anything.
Let me tell you something, petty theft is one thing, but conspiracy to commit murder is another.
Now did Mindy Harbison hire you to jump her husband - after his surgery? - No.
- Look familiar? - I've never even seen her before.
- Why don't I believe you? - Because you prejudiced.
Hey, detective.
Can I see that? Oh, yeah, I saw her here a couple of days ago.
She got three cheese steaks.
Two for here and one to go.
Who was the other "for here" cheese steak for? A nurse.
Yeah.
She was wearing the blue hospital scrubs.
The hospital's right down the street.
What did this nurse look like? - You were looking for me? - Yeah.
Swimming in a bunch of bio-waste yesterday got me thinking.
That stuff is kept sterile for a reason.
If somebody tampered with our staple gun, maybe they contaminated it too.
So I swabbed the chamber and found a bunch of resting spores.
- What kind of spores? - Don't know yet.
I ordered a PCR.
Should have the results in a few hours.
- Good work, doctor.
- Damn straight.
I think this is the last box.
Still worried about taking advantage of me? - I'm getting over it.
- I'll get that.
- Hey, thanks.
- No problem.
- Are you cold? - Yeah.
I made this for Jess.
She said she couldn't get any good knits out here.
And it still smells like her.
It's okay.
It's okay.
I'm sorry.
You're right.
I'm in an emotional state.
So When are you? When are you leaving? Not soon enough for you, I'm sure.
No, no, no.
L Are you kidding me? You know, I love moving.
Pianos are my specialty.
Thanks.
I needed that.
I'm not kidding.
There is no video of Ted's surgery.
The equipment was turned off.
- It would have to be one of the nurses.
- I can help you there.
Ted's wife Mindy had lunch near the hospital the day before his surgery.
She was with a nurse in Northeast General scrubs.
She was thin, about 5'6", African-American, wearing black-rimmed eyeglasses.
Nancy Follett.
We talked to her at the hospital yesterday.
And she called Chandler a disaster waiting to happen.
Wait a minute.
Nancy Follett? That was one of the files they showed me at the hospital.
Chandler wrote her up multiple times.
So Nancy makes a disaster happen to get back at Chandler.
But why talk to Mindy? Money.
I checked them out.
Ted had none and they were mortgaged up to their eyeballs.
And Ted's life insurance policy was terminated when he got his pilot's license.
So a malpractice lawsuit solves both their problems.
It was genius, actually.
So Nancy tampers with the gun, turns off the camera.
And Ted leaves the hospital unaware that his clips are popping off with every step.
Then he lost consciousness and fell into the bushes.
Well, I guess it's time I spoke with Nancy Follett.
And I think you should take another stab at Mindy.
Hey.
What's up? - Where the hell have you been? - I was out.
Well, while you were out, I got your answer.
Jessica was positive for the factor V Leiden gene mutation.
Thank you.
- Hey, refresh my memory.
- It's like a coagulation cutoff switch that doesn't cut off when it should.
And you better run a DNA for zygosity.
There's a difference in morbidity.
- How big? - Big.
You get the mild version, you have five to seven times greater risk of developing a clot like Jessica's.
You get the severe version, up to an 80 times greater risk.
Wait, so if Jessica had the severe version and Karen's her identical twin, then she Then she's got it too.
No, look, look.
You've got it all wrong.
Nancy was just trying to warn us about Dr.
Chandler.
Why you, huh? We have the same ob-gyn.
She heard him referring us to Dr.
Chandler.
She said she felt obligated to try to dissuade us, we went to the cheese steak place to talk.
And kept this to yourself the whole time? She said she'd be fired if Chandler found out.
If she was trying to warn you, why did Ted go through with it? His pain had become acute.
He wasn't even scheduled to be operated on yesterday.
Dr.
Chandler squeezed him in at the last minute.
How did you overlook turning on the video equipment? Video equipment gets overlooked all the time.
But you're the one who hands the staple gun over to the doctor, aren't you? Sorry to interrupt.
Sam, we just talked to Mindy Harbison.
Did Dr.
Chandler have any surgeries scheduled yesterday after rounds? Only one at 10 p.
m.
, another cholecystectomy.
And did he use the same surgical setup as he did on Ted, a new pack of staple guns? Yes and no, we didn't use a new pack for Ted's operation.
What? What do you mean? The circulating nurse brought two guns from a previous operation.
- We only used one from the new pack.
- What's going on, Megan? Ted was a last-minute reschedule.
He wasn't the intended target.
- What? - Staple guns come in packs of three.
This whole time we were talking about one gun being tampered with.
There are now two guns that are unaccounted for.
We have to get to the hospital before somebody else dies.
My name is Dr.
Kate Murphey.
I'm with the Medical Examiner's Office.
I want you all to stop what you're doing.
I'm shutting you down.
You can't do this.
- You don't have the authority.
- I do.
Imminent circumstances, Ms.
Baldwin.
You have a life-threatening situation on your hands.
- What are you talking about? - What in the hell's going on? Hey, I got an appendix in there prepped and ready to go.
You used three staple guns on Harbison.
- Two were from a previous pack.
- So? So the tampered gun you used on him was the first of a new pack of three.
If the pack was tampered with, there are two guns unaccounted for used on someone else.
Who did you operate on last night? Male, 20s, suffering from idiopathic cholelithiasis.
Does he have a name? Why am I not surprised? You stand in my shoes, then judge me.
- I've already done both.
- Megan, I got it.
George White, cholecystectomy last night at 10 p.
m.
We have an address.
Go.
I'll have the ambulance meet you there.
Yes, this is Dr.
Brumfield.
I sent you a PCR request that came back positive for a fungus called Apiosporina collinsii.
Are you sure that's right? Hi, Karen.
It's Ethan again.
If you could call me back at the office, I'd appreciate it.
It's important, okay? So call me back when you get this.
Okay, bye-bye.
Okay, call me back.
Okay.
- What? - Leave the girl any more messages, she'll think you're stalking her.
- Well, what would you do? - I wouldn't be sitting here talking to me.
Hey.
Thank you.
The boy is crazy.
Where's the damn ambulance? Stand back.
He's alive, but barely.
- What are you doing? - There's no time.
I open him up now Or he dies.
What's wrong? Last time I did this, I killed somebody.
Megan, it's okay.
You can do this.
I hope you're right.
Grab those towels.
- Keep as much blood inside as possible.
- I thought too much was the problem.
At this point, it's restricting the blood flow.
It's probably the only thing that's keeping him alive.
- You okay? - Yeah, why? - My first time in the OR, I fainted.
- I'll faint later, okay? - Grab the towels.
- Find the leak? No way to know for sure what's leaking.
The thing that I'm looking for is the There it is.
Descending aorta.
Now the trick is to squeeze it shut, but not completely shut.
- Why is that the trick? - He's young, he's healthy.
Right now, I am depriving blood not only to his leaking vessels but his entire lower half of his body.
If I squeeze too tight, or if the ambulance doesn't get here he'll never walk again.
This is Dr.
Megan Hunt and her colleague, Peter Dunlop.
- They're the ones who saved your life.
- Actually, it was all her.
I don't know how to thank you.
- How are you feeling? - Confused.
One minute I was headed for the fridge.
Next, I woke up here.
Hello.
Hey, Curtis, how you doing? Well, you had a close call.
And I'm very sorry about the scar.
Your kitchen knives are not too sharp.
You kidding? I'm already the envy of all my frat buddies.
They won't leave me alone.
- When did you graduate? - Four years ago.
Have you ever heard of a boy named Nick Baldwin? Congratulations.
A colleague of mine just told me something that I never knew before.
There is no such thing as a bonsai tree seed.
Instead, you take the seed of a healthy tree and infect it with a fungus that genetically alters its root system.
It's called Apiosporina collinsii.
We found it on the staple gun, Gwen.
You gave us all the files of everyone who had access to the supply room.
You failed to include yours.
- I don't know what you're talking about.
- I'm talking about the death of your son.
George White.
The social chair of the Dexter fraternity.
The fraternity where Nick OD'd four years ago.
George just told me all about it.
The rush party, the peer pressure, cocaine.
Nick tried it.
He collapsed.
And nobody realized that he'd suffered cocaine-induced cardiac arrhythmia until the next morning.
Please stop, Megan.
When you found out that George White was scheduled for surgery in your own hospital You saw the chance to get back at him for killing your son.
You knew Dr.
Chandler's reputation.
You knew the ins and outs of surgical staple guns.
You were an equipment rep when I was a surgeon.
You knew exactly what to do.
But in doing it, you contaminated the guns with the fungus from the bonsai tree.
Then you switched out the tampered gun with the guns that were to be used in George's operation.
The one thing you didn't count on was the schedule change.
Putting Ted Harbison in George White's place.
Do you know what George White and his fraternity brothers got for killing my son? Nothing.
No criminal charges.
The university put them on administrative probation.
Probation.
What would you have done, Megan, if it was your daughter and the son of a bitch who killed her was under your scalpel? I wouldn't kill him.
Then you're not the Megan Hunt I remember.
We were friends once, Gwen.
It's the only reason I'm not gonna turn you in.
Thank you.
Oh, God.
Thank you, Megan.
I'm gonna let you do it yourself.
- Ethan? - I've been calling you all day.
I left my cell phone this morning.
I'm just going to the airport.
No, no, you're not.
No, you're not.
Your sister was positive for the factor V Leiden mutation.
- L - Depending on your DNA results, you getting on a plane is like playing Russian roulette.
What are you talking about? I've been flying my whole life.
Are you really gonna argue with me about this? Well, this is a long way to go to keep me around.
I'll settle for keeping you alive.
What did I do now? Not that you care, but George White is fine.
Your 10:00 from last night.
Let me guess.
You wanna split the fee.
Yeah, I used to be as smug as you.
Technically, Ted Harbison's death is not your fault.
Gwen relied upon your reputation for recklessness.
You didn't check your work, doctor.
One day you will kill a patient.
You don't want that on your conscience.
Like it is on yours? Yeah, I looked you up.
I know your story, doctor.
I admire your decision to retire.
But don't presume to lecture me.
I'm not the one who killed a patient.
And I'm not the monster you think I am.
I'm devastated by what happened.
Really? You mourn on the golf course? I guess I'm just not the saint you are.
I am no saint, believe me.
But if your name ever comes up in connection with one of my patients again, your work better be flawless.
Or you're gonna be selling this baby to cover your legal fees.
Yeah.
You and your sister are homozygote carriers of the factor V Leiden mutation.
What does that mean? It means we're gonna send you to the best hematologist in the city.
But from now on, you're gonna be monitored by a doctor.
- From now on? - Look, this is serious, Karen.
I mean, with medication and minor lifestyle adjustments, probably nothing will ever happen.
But you have to be vigilant.
And you are not getting on another plane without being checked out by an expert first.
Why are you smiling? I like it when you're bossy.
It's cute.
- It is? - It is? Well, doctors, it seems my fate is in your hands, so where do you wanna send me? I don't know what's appropriate or inappropriate.
So when you find out, give me a call.
How long, ethically speaking, would you wait before you called? - Two months.
- Months? Months.
Mr.
Cute-And-Bossy.
You doing all right? There was a moment today, when I found out that George would be okay, that the weight of losing a patient just It lifted.
And then I found out that George was responsible for the death of Gwen's son.
And Mindy Harbison will spend years suing a hospital that will claim that it has no responsibility for Gwen's criminal acts.
Well, I don't know if this case is quite as messy as you think it is.
You solved a crime and you saved a life.
Not just George White's.
"Max Larrabee"? George White's procedure only used one staple gun.
The second was recovered on Max Larrabee's instrument tray.
Thanks for telling me.
The mayor.
I hung up on him yesterday.
He hates when I do that.
Hello, Mr.
Mayor.
