Five Days at Memorial (2022) s01e07 Episode Script

That man loved life.
I'm not denying
that Emmett had medical issues,
but he never let it get him down.
He had a passion for life.
Emmett
he made you appreciate
your good fortune.
'Cause even though he was strapped
in a hospital bed,
he was more alive
than most folks who can use their legs.
He loved to laugh. He loved people.
I'm sorry you lost him. I am.
I didn't lose him. He was taken from me.
Did Emmett say anything
about what was going on at LifeCare?
Did Did you talk to him
on that last Thursday?
His phone wasn't working by then.
I tried reaching him
on Wednesday and Thursday.
Before that, he said that, uh
You know, th things were a little
crazy, but he didn't dwell on that.
He didn't wanna worry me.
He even was joking
about what he had for breakfast.
Said he had canned
tuna fish and crackers
and relish.
Said it was delicious.
My Emmett. He was a fighter.
And for him to have died
of his own accord?
That don't make no sense.
None. Whatsoever.
- Hey, how you doing? You remember us?
- Yes, sir.
Yeah, I got that warrant for you.
You got any more men in there?
- Yes, sir.
Well, get 'em outside.
- Hey, Remy. Remy!
- Hey, guys.
Get everyone out here now!
Y'all are gonna need to stay out here
until we get done with our work.
Understood?
Appreciate it.
All right, everybody.
Fan out and document whatever you see.
- Yes, sir.
- You got it, Captain.
Man, the smell of death,
I can never get used to it.
Yeah. That's why I love accounting.
Thought there wasn't any food or water.
Yeah, except for these cases of water
stacked all the way to the ceiling.
Canned goods all over the place.
Be careful. That area's blocked off.
Pharmacy's locked,
but we're about to gain entry.
Check this out.
Three prescriptions for morphine,
all signed by Anna Pou.
Hey.
Someone found this on seven.
It's exactly what Nakamaru described.
You know,
I've learned to never get surprised.
But then I get surprised.
We've got four witnesses
all confirming the same story.
Pou came up to the seventh floor
to end the lives of patients.
Then we find syringes, drug vials,
Pou's name on the prescriptions.
You don't think that's enough?
- No.
Two of the witnesses said
that Pou told them directly
that lethal injection was her intention.
Th-Those doctors and nurses,
they they volunteered
to be in that hospital.
Then they stayed for five days
during the worst possible conditions.
How could their motives have been
to intentionally harm their patients?
To kill their patients.
- But we can't deny the evidence.
We need to prove
that Pou and those two nurses
not only injected those patients
but did so
with the intention to kill them.
Most of all, we need an eyewitness.
Somebody who saw them do it.
Francis, Vince said
that he'd take you up
on this weekend,
okay? So give him a call.
How are you feeling today, Mrs. Allen?
- Oh, pretty good.
Pretty good?
- Uh Well, I don't want to jinx it.
Well, jinx it all you want.
This is looking perfect.
- Thank you, Doc.
- Of course.
You know, I still need that recipe.
Oh, my daughter's bringing it in today.
Good for me. Good for me, my friend.
Mmm. This is good.
Well, I mean, it's really, really good.
My patient used to have a restaurant
over in St. Claude.
This is her family's secret recipe.
- Uh-huh?
- Mm-hmm.
Okay.
So, what's the secret?
I can't tell you.
Oh, you can't?
- Doctor-patient confidentiality.
- Oh.
Wow.
This woman. Oh, bless. She's, uh
She's a real fighter.
Yeah. Just a beautiful soul.
How is the new job?
Is it Is the work,
you know, is it enough to distract you?
Surgery is.
Uh, but in the quiet moments
Am I, uh Am I worried?
Yeah, of course I am.
Yeah. Uh, I just wish
we knew what they were doing.
Are they investigating you
or are they not, you know?
Honestly, Vince
I feel like I'm about to get railroaded.
Why? Why would they do that?
Because everything went to shit,
and somebody's got to take the blame.
Anna. Anna, do you have any idea
how highly respected you are?
There's no way
I just don't see that happening.
All I did was try to help people.
That is all I did.
I know that. I know you.
- Look, God is good, right?
- Mm-hmm.
He's watching over us.
He's got a plan for us.
The truth is gonna prevail here.
I wanna believe that.
Oh, I wanna believe that. I really do.
So, you ever meet Frank Minyard before?
No.
Yeah. He wears cowboy boots,
plays jazz trumpet in the quarter.
Very much larger than life.
- Not your typical pathologist.
- Oh, no. He's not a pathologist.
Wait, what?
So then how is he the city coroner?
Well, 'cause he got elected.
People love him,
so he keeps getting reelected.
- So he's not an actual doctor?
- Oh, no. He is a doctor.
He's a gynecologist by training.
- Mmm.
- He works out of a funeral home?
Yeah. They're temporary offices.
They got flooded out.
Sorry, Butch. Don't mind the mess.
We just We just had to pack up and
run when our place went underwater.
- Virginia, you said?
- Yeah.
So, Virginia, do you know
where the word coroner comes from?
Can't say that I do.
It means keeper of
the pleas of the crown.
That's from the Magna Carta.
Back in the day, the coroners were
very important crown officials.
Of course, nowadays,
we're mainly relegated
to dealing with dead bodies.
Which brings us to
your autopsies, Butch.
Have a seat.
We've got a big problem.
What's that?
I can't tell you whether
murder occurred.
Well, why not?
- Because the bodies, they're useless.
They They decomposed in the heat
for a week.
We can't even get a-a
decent blood sample.
My understanding is that
drugs can leave traces
in other hardier tissues
like the liver or the brain,
or even in the fluid pooled
in the abdomen.
Are you a pathologist?
No, but I-I talked to one.
Well, two, actually.
Oh, they haven't seen these bodies.
Regardless, we need to test
these tissue samples, Frank.
Now, this is coming
from the attorney general himself.
All right. Fine.
I'll tell him where you stand.
You see what I'm dealing with here?
I I'm, I'm beyond overloaded.
But I'll tell you what,
I I'll get a federal disaster
mortuary team out here
to take those samples
and send 'em to the lab.
Just for you, Butch.
Thank you, Frank.
Yeah, I It's greatly appreciated.
Isn't it Minyard's job
to collect evidence?
Not to arbitrarily decide
what should or shouldn't be done?
Don't worry about it.
We got our tissue samples.
Uh, he's the coroner.
It's not his job to arbitrate this.
Look, Virginia,
the medical community in this town
is a tight-knit group,
and Minyard, he's part of it.
He's supposed to be focused
on the evidence, period.
Him and all the rest of them,
they're not going to stand by
and watch this happen
to one of their own fellow doctors.
You gotta be prepared for that.
Hey, hon.
Hey. How was your day?
Oh, it was fine. Fine.
Did you talk to your family today?
Yeah, I chatted with my sister
for a little bit.
How's your case going?
Oh, nothing too exciting to report.
Hey, I-I brought you your sketchpad.
I thought it might inspire you
to start some new paintings,
or maybe some of those angels.
Thanks, Butch, but I'm just
I'm just not feeling up to it.
All right.
Well, they sell in the galleries.
That's That's good, too, right?
Maybe soon.
All right.
Well, I'll
I'll go rustle us up some dinner.
- There's chicken and broccoli.
- All right.
- Hello?
- Hi, it's me. Guess what?
Somebody from Memorial, not LifeCare,
actually wants to talk to us.
Well, that's a first. Who's that?
I see you found the place.
- It's Arthur Schafer.
- Virginia Rider.
- Bryant King. Nice to meet you both.
- Yeah. Hey.
Yeah. Come on in.
I reached out because
I was watching TV coverage
of the mortuary workers
recovering bodies at Memorial,
and I just just couldn't believe
the number of bodies
they recovered from the chapel.
Well, why is that?
Because on Wednesday,
I pronounced a patient dead
due to natural causes.
When we carried her to the chapel,
that marked the sixth patient
in that room.
I took note of it.
After that, no one else died
on my second-floor area
before I left the hospital on Thursday.
I'm willing to go to my grave on that
because I was counting in my head.
I knew the total number dead
in the hospital at that point.
Which was how many?
On Thursday it was 20 or 21.
I'm sure of it.
So when I learned that 45 bodies
were recovered in total,
I was like, "There's no way
that many people died
in the time frame between the
time I left and the following day."
How many hospitals are
losing 20 patients in one day?
Well, some might suggest it was
'cause of the horrible conditions.
You know,
the lack of power, the extreme heat.
People don't die
that often in hospitals,
even under adverse circumstances.
That wasn't it.
So, then what was it?
I knew something was happening.
I was speaking to Kathleen Fournier.
We went to medical school together.
What were they saying?
I'm not exactly sure.
All right,
what do you think they were saying?
This is between me, you,
and the fence post, okay?
They were talking about how we're
not gonna get everybody out of here,
and how patients are suffering, and we
have to find a way
to end that suffering.
If there are patients who are in pain,
we got to do everything we can to help.
That's not what they were talking about.
Just Just comfort, you know?
- I really don't think they were.
- Wait, who is "they"?
Ewing Cook and Anna Pou. They were
talking about ending patient suffering.
And I heard Anna say,
"Oh, yeah.
I don't have a problem with that."
What?
And I'm thinking in my mind,
"That's not normal.
That's not what we're paid to do.
We're paid to care for people,
to help people."
So you knew what she meant,
but you didn't question it?
You gotta understand.
I was one of the only Black doctors
in that hospital.
- I was only recently hired.
- Mmm.
Some people were afraid of people
outside of the hospital, but for me
It was the other way around.
You were afraid of the people
in the hospital?
Let me put it this way.
The stories going around
about how there were looters,
rapists and snipers roaming the city,
how New Orleans
was under the control of criminals,
what they really were referring to
were Black folks.
I saw this on the ER ramp
when people with my same skin color
were being turned away.
I tried to help 'em.
Hey! What's going on?
Why aren't we helping these people?
We ain't got no room for these people.
What? We're not gonna help 'em at all?
When I saw what was happening,
I was, like, "Man,
there's only so much I can do or say."
They had all the guns.
- You were afraid of being shot.
- Not so much that.
I don't think they would have shot me
in front of everybody,
but they damn sure
would have removed me.
I'm a person who speaks his mind,
but I also know when to shut my mouth.
But I quietly let people know
what was going on.
How'd you do that?
I sent some text messages.
To whom?
My best friend, for one.
I told him there were evil entities
inside the hospital
planning to euthanize patients.
Evil entities?
I can't call 'em people anymore.
When you're talking about killing people
who've done nothing wrong.
Innocent people?
Humans don't do that to one another.
I was like, "These These These"
the correct word is motherfuckers,
"are talking about killing people."
Wait, did did you directly see
anything related to that?
My last day on the second floor,
this guy comes up to me.
A nurse's aide, I think,
and he says to me
Dr. King.
- Would you like to join us in a prayer?
- A prayer?
And when he says this,
I'm thinking, "What is this?"
And then I see Anna Pou.
She was holding a handful
of 10cc syringes with the pink needle.
Why did she have all those needles?
Did you see Dr. Pou inject
any of the patients?
No. But here she is
holding a handful of syringes,
and people are saying things
they shouldn't
They're saying things
they shouldn't even be thinking.
I said to myself,
"This is not a normal situation."
I probably shouldn't be here.
"I can't be a part of this."
Where you going?
I'm getting out of here.
- You're going to abandon us?
- Do you know what's going on here?
Maybe you can work that shit out
in your head.
I can't. I can't even stop 'em.
They're the ones with the guns.
They're the ones with the power.
So that's when you left?
I got on a boat.
Got dropped off, waded to dry land,
and hiked all the way back up here
to my house.
Have you talked to anybody else
about any of this?
We begin at a moment
when Hurricane Katrina
went from being a disaster to a tragedy.
When people began making choices
that leave a mark on the soul.
Now, as the water and the mud recede,
secrets are coming to light.
Whispers of life and death decisions
and talk heard here for the first time
anywhere of more, of mercy killings.
There are new questions about
whether the staff at a flooded hospital
once talked about euthanizing patients.
Was euthanasia enacted in that hospital
in the days after Katrina
when there was so much chaos
going on in this city?
Most people know that something happened
that shouldn't have happened.
One of the other physicians,
she had a handful of syringes.
Now,
I don't know what was in the syringes.
I don't know
And the only thing I heard her say is,
"I'm gonna give you something
to make you feel better."
Oh, God. I don't believe this.
I sympathize with his concern.
But he's gonna destroy the reputation
of every doctor
that's ever worked at that hospital.
Horace, you're overreacting.
Well, I don't think I am.
I mean,
if he what he says is really true,
then it's beyond horrendous.
But this is not something that you air
in the court of public opinion.
The doctor
who King alleges held the syringes
spoke by phone with the media
on several occasions.
And emphasized that everyone
inside the hospital felt abandoned.
The doctor said, quote,
"We did everything humanly possible
to save these patients."
The government totally
abandoned us to die
in the houses, in the streets,
in the hospitals.
Maybe a lot of us made mistakes,
"but we made the best decisions
we could at the time."
Our coverage of these
events will continue
as more information becomes available.
So, Ms. Isbell, you were the
nursing director for LifeCare, right?
Correct.
So, on Thursday, September 1st,
when three medical professionals
from Memorial
showed up on the seventh floor
What did you think was happening?
I assumed they were there
to take care of our patients.
Why else would they come up there?
Well, that's what I'm asking you.
Well, if it was something different,
I honestly don't know.
During the disaster,
did you keep up your charts?
Record which drugs
you were giving to your patients?
We kept 'em up as long as we could.
There was no way
we could keep track of everything.
Yeah, I've been up
on that seventh floor.
I can imagine what you went through.
Oh, no. You cannot imagine.
You have no idea.
We tried so hard to keep them all alive.
I wanna know why did it take so long
for someone to come help us
to get those patients out?
That's why we lost so many patients.
Where was the government?
Where was our help?
- Ms. Isbell
- No.
You leave the people that stayed
and worked through the storm,
you leave them alone.
You let the doctors and the nurses who
stayed to take care of their patients,
to try and take their suffering away,
you just let them be what they are.
Heroes.
If you want, we can take a break.
Take a break? From this?
This is nothing.
When I'm at home, I can't sleep.
I have nightmares
where I see the faces of my patients.
I feel guilty
when I think of the staff that I picked
to work during the hurricane.
I feel the pain
of every single patient's death.
I know this is hard,
but we do appreciate it.
How dare you come here
from a place of comfort
and try to decide
what was right and what was wrong?
What you're doing is not fair.
It's just not.
Sorry, but it just isn't.
Walker, you wanted to see me?
Anna, come on in.
What's going on?
You know,
we are so blessed to have you here.
- So blessed. Uh, you know that.
- But
I'm sure you've seen the coverage
on CNN, elsewhere.
Yeah, I'm aware of it.
But you know,
I'm busy taking care of my patients,
not sitting around watching TV news.
Right. Well, given that some
of that coverage focused on you,
we've had to think through this
a little bit.
For example, what happens if, uh,
an operation goes badly?
Through no fault of your own.
But they can. They do. You know.
Walker, what are you saying?
Just come out and say it.
We would like you to consider
taking a pause from performing surgery.
Look, if something
unexpected happened
it would be devastating
for the university.
You know, so
You want me to stop performing surgery?
We are just asking that you consider it.
I can still see all my patients
and still have all my
hospital privileges.
Right, you're just not gonna
be doing surgery for a little while.
It's killing me,
but that's what we agreed.
I think that's
her right? That Pou woman.
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Do you see that?
I think they're talking about us.
Well, okay, maybe. So what?
Yeah, I guess it is what it is.
Oh, hey,
did I tell you about Michael Young?
So Michael is playing golf
with a guy over in Covington,
and the guy, he hits a bird.
He hits a bird in mid-flight, all right?
And now, the bird's fine
She was over,
uh at, uh Memorial
All right. You want me to go over there
and intimidate 'em?
What?
That would be very effective.
Uh, yeah. They're two old ladies.
I think I could do it.
- You don't think I could?
- I just wanna I wanna go home.
- Really?
- Anna. Anna?
- Sorry.
- Oh, Laura.
- Hi. How are you?
- Oh, hey.
Hi, Laura. Hi.
Henry and I, we just wanted to say
that we're with you.
We're thinking of you.
We're sending you our prayers.
What's happening to you is
just It's so unfair.
I'm not going to argue that.
Anything we can do to help you,
you just let us know.
Thank you, Laura. Thank you.
I appreciate that.
- Thank you very much.
- You take care.
- But I will be checking in with you.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
That's not That's
not Christian of her
Reinforcements.
That's so nice. Thanks.
You wanna know my fun fact for the day?
Well, it's only 8:00 a.m.
You sure you're not gonna top yourself?
- Not a chance.
- All right.
So you know Pou's brother, Fredrick?
Pou's one of 11 children, by the way.
I knew that.
He's a federal drug fugitive.
He is an all-star
on the DEA's most-wanted list.
It's official now. Everything
in this case is batshit crazy.
Well, my morning news is less colorful,
but we got the toxicology reports.
And?
They tested tissue samples in 18
of the dead patients from Memorial.
Nine of those 18 tested positive
for morphine,
and seven of those nine
also tested positive for midazolam,
aka Versed.
That is the exact combination of drugs
that Nakamaru said he gave to Pou.
Yeah, the lab director said
finding midazolam
in these bodies was disconcerting.
Of course it is. In my opinion,
there's no way to justify it,
other than
when you combine it with morphine,
it's a highly effective way
to kill people.
Now these reports,
they're helpful, for sure.
But the defense is gonna go after
the conditions of the bodies.
Right?
How none of this evidence is reliable.
How do we counter that?
We gotta get some other eyes on this,
right? Some expert opinions.
We're gonna get all this
to some top pathologists.
Anna, I'm afraid we're going to need
to start preparing our defense.
What are you hearing?
Well, unfortunately,
the internal chatter is that, uh,
the attorney general's office
is focusing their investigation on you.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Anna? Anna, it
It's gonna be okay. Listen to me.
We're gonna rally
every medical professional
in this city behind you.
Otherwise, next time
there's a hurricane,
there won't be a single doctor
in this city practicing medicine.
The public needs to know that.
So what do we do?
Well, first thing I want to do is
put together a field trip of sorts.
- Field trip?
- Yeah.
You, me, and the two nurses
who were with you on that last day.
I want us all to go back to Memorial.
You wanna go back to the hospital?
What for?
Because I want y'all to walk me through
everything that
happened on that last day,
make sure we're all on the same page.
You know, personally,
I would never want to be euthanized,
but I get why some people
in horrible conditions would.
Yeah. I mean, I'm a Catholic.
It's against my religion,
but if I'm a vegetable,
pull the plug on me.
If that's your choice,
I'm good with that.
But at Memorial, as far as I know,
nobody got consent.
Yeah, that's exactly right.
Nobody got consent.
What does Linda think about all this?
Oh, we don't talk about my case work.
- Really? Never?
Not really.
Well, why is that?
Well, first of all,
you don't want your secrets
getting passed on to the grocer
or whomever.
Who tells secrets to their grocer?
- It's not 1955.
- Uh
You know, if Linda saw that I was
that caught up in something,
she'd worry for me,
that I was working too hard,
or if I injured my health.
Especially now, she doesn't need that.
How is she doing?
You know, it wasn't just our daughter.
In the last five months,
she's also lost her father and her
cousin who was like a sister to her.
It's been brutal.
Oh, my God.
I can't even imagine. I'm so sorry.
Yeah, she's grieving in her own way.
And I'm just giving her the space
to do it.
Uh, how's how's
Kevin managing all this?
Oh to be honest,
things between us are not so great
right now.
So, it's good for me to have this case
to focus on.
All right. As long as you
keep it all in perspective.
I see how hard you're working.
You're like a human 7-Eleven.
Human 7-Eleven.
Well, that's the nicest thing
you've ever said to me, Butch.
I mean, I'm just I'm
I'm worried about you.
- No, I'm worried about you.
- No, I'm the more worried person.
No, I don't think so.
I am much more worried.
All right, I concede.
Look, I got to go run some errands.
I'll meet you back at the office, yeah?
- Okay.
- All right.
Miss Rider.
Mrs. Everett?
I'm sorry to just show up on you
like this,
but I need to know what you're doing
on behalf of my Emmett.
We're working on it. I promise you.
So you're making progress?
Yes, we are.
You know, there's a whole lot
of powerful people out there
who want this whole
thing to just go away.
You can't let that happen.
I'm not going to.
I got you something.
After all the flooding,
it's the only one I got left.
I want you to have it.
No. No, I-I can't.
Take it. Please.
I want you to know something,
Mrs. Everett.
Emmett is the poster child for our case.
We're doing everything we can to
get justice for him, for what happened.
I miss him so much.
It hurts.
Nobody has the right to play God
and end a life.
They just don't.
I don't care who they are.
Thank you for your time.
Mr. Nakamaru, thank you for coming.
So what we'd like you to do is
verify the remaining stockpile of drugs
in the pharmacy.
All right.
The morphine, the Versed and the Ativan,
it's all missing.
- What about the other controlled drugs?
- Still here.
Were there any records
of who raided the pharmacy?
Yes.
Here's the list of the last people
to sign out the medications.
Uh, can you confirm
whose signature this is?
Anna Pou. Yes.
She was the last person
to sign out medications.
Oh.
Oh, my God.
I can't imagine
what you all went through here.
It was our job.
You all okay?
- I just
- Goddamn.
Oh, you know, seeing it now
It's, uh It looks so much worse.
What do you want me to show you?
All of it.
Just Just tell us what you did.
How you helped people.
How you saved people.
All of the patients
who went by helicopter came this way.
Down the hospital stairs,
through that hole,
up the ramp to these stairs.
It's just incredible.
Did the patients make the climb
themselves or were they carried?
Most of them were too sick.
They had to be carried.
It was, uh
It's Herculean. Yes, that's what it was.
- This is the landing pad.
- Yeah.
Wasn't used for decades.
- It's in bad shape, isn't it?
- Mmm.
Guess you'd call this ground zero.
That's the chapel.
I'm sure you know that.
Yeah.
What happened here is
something no human being
should ever have to experience.
What the
Nobody else is supposed to be in here.
That's Dr. Pou.
That's Anna Pou?
And the two nurses. The ones
she brought up to the seventh floor.
Holy shit. You're kidding me.
Dr. Pou.
Yes?
I'm Virginia Rider.
This is Arthur Schafer.
We're with the Louisiana State
Attorney General's office.
Hello, Anna.
And, uh, I'm Rick Simmons,
Dr. Pou's attorney.
- Mr. Simmons, we should
- Oh, yeah yeah. Um
If you'll excuse us. Anna.
I can't fucking believe
that just happened.
What are they doing here?
Uh, same as us.
Getting their ducks in a row.
Don't worry about it.
Anna. Anna. Hey.
Listen, we're we're gonna focus
right now on what we're doing.
Forget about them, all right?
Come on, now.
Let's go finish our tour. Let's go.
This is Arthur Schafer.
Mr. Schafer?
This is Mike Murphy with LifeCare.
How you doing today?
- Fine. Thanks.
- Good.
So, Kristy Johnson,
our physical medicine director,
you you met her.
- Yeah, I remember.
- Yeah, uh, she, um
she's got something more
she wants to tell you.
She wants to come talk to you again.
All right. Well, we'll set it up.
Hello, Walker.
Anna.
I wanna get back to work.
I appreciate that.
But you know as well as I do
that hospitals are giant bureaucracies,
and the wheels turn slowly.
Oh. I thought you were in charge.
My patients, they need surgeries.
It's not like there are dozens
of otolaryngologists sitting around
like cans of corn.
I realize that.
You know, I haven't even
been charged with a crime.
Oh, I realize that too.
I'm wondering,
have you ever read LSU Healthcare
Center's mission statement?
Because it talks about how
patient-centered health care delivered
with the highest quality
of professionalism is cornerstone
I've read it. I wrote it.
- Nicely worded.
- Thank you.
All right, let me, uh
Let me see what I can do
about getting you back
in the operating room.
Thank you, Walker.
Thank you.
Am I the only outside doctor
who's examined the evidence?
Oh, no, sir. We sent it to a whole panel
of outside experts.
So in your opinion, Dr. Baden,
where's the evidence point?
Homicide.
- In all the cases you reviewed?
- Yes.
Even with the conditions of the bodies?
Yes.
In all the nine cases I reviewed, I
would categorize them all as homicides.
Well, thank you very much for your time,
Doctor.
Thank you.
Kristy Johnson is here.
I went with Dr. Pou to the entrance
of Emmett Everett's room.
You know who I'm talking about, right?
He was a conscious patient.
Yeah, we know about Emmett Everett. Yes.
She told me she planned
to give him something.
I wanna tell him that I'm
I wanna give him something
to help him with his dizziness.
What do you think?
Uh I don't know. I guess.
You gonna be okay?
You want me to go in with you?
No. No, no, no. I'm okay.
Emmett Everett wasn't the only one.
I took Dr. Pou and the two nurses
to other bedsides.
I was with them
when they injected the patients.
I held their hands.
I said prayers.
So you personally witnessed Dr. Pou
inject patients?
Yes.
Do you remember which ones?
Wilda McManus was one.
You saw her inject Wilda McManus?
Yes.
- And you can testify to that?
- Yes, I can.
And when I was leaving
down the hallway, I heard her, Dr. Pou.
She could've been talking
about Mr. Alford,
but I think she was talking
about Miss McManus,
and she said
"You know, I had to
give her three doses.
She was really fighting."
Something like that.
I'm sorry it took me so long
to tell you all this.
It's just It's just so hard.
- Can I get some air?
- Yeah, of course.
I just briefed the attorney general.
He wants to make the arrests.
There's always more that we can do
but he doesn't want to
wait around any longer.
The opinions are already turning.
Wait, meaning what?
Well, just the whole medical system.
Doctors protect doctors.
Nurses protect nurses.
You're about to see the whole thing
on display.
Well, Anna Pou doesn't deserve
any special treatment.
But that doesn't mean
she's not gonna get it.
No, you'll see.
We're about to poke the bear.
Yes, sir. Will do.
Now, I'm going with the teams
for Landry and Budo. You got Pou.
You ready?
Yeah.
Every time I make an arrest, I think,
"When I knock on that door,
I'm changing someone's life forever."
But last night, I slept like a baby.
See you on the other side. Bye.
- Let's go.
- All right. Pull out.
Louisiana state agents! Open the door!
State agents! Open the door!
Anna Pou?
Yes, I'm Anna Pou.
We have a warrant for your arrest
on four counts of second-degree murder.
Do you have any weapons
in your possession or in your house?
No.
I'm gonna have to pat you down.
- Is there anyone else in the house?
- No.
Where are you taking me?
Here in Baton Rouge for booking,
then on to jail in New Orleans.
What about my patients?
I have critical care patients.
I can't just leave them.
I'm waiting
on some very important lab results.
Are there other doctors
who can cover you?
Yes. But I
Then we'll give you
a chance to call them.
I just spent all day in surgery.
Can I at least change my clothes?
Sure.
You have to stand right here?
Can't you just wait outside?
No, ma'am. I can't.
Take off any jewelry
and bring only your driver's license.
I'm not wearing any jewelry,
and my driver's license is in
Hey. Do not reach in there.
Your license?
It's in my wallet.
All right. I'm gonna
read you your rights.
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used
against you in a court of law.
You have the right to an attorney.
If you cannot afford an attorney,
one will be appointed for you.
I need you to sign this form saying
you understand these rights.
Are you willing to answer questions
without a lawyer?
No.
Back door's opening
