Do No Harm s01e08 Episode Script

1 There's someone in my life who is complicating things for me.
Previously on Do No Harm But if I could, I would bring you green tea every morning.
You're still gonna get that drink? Yeah, with Rob.
- I'm too late, aren't I? - I can't wait for you.
You play soccer with your daddy? I don't have a daddy.
Everyone has a daddy.
I love you.
We're at a standstill without Ian's spinal fluid.
Yes? This is from Dr.
Cole.
Cautery.
Brain forceps.
Really? Really, did you just do that? - Uh, I - Brandon.
Which side of this young lady's brain are we removing today? The r-r-right.
Whic-uh-huh, and which sidey's of your brain has been removed? - Ken.
- We are removing the right frontal lobe, but you just clipped the main artery to the left frontal lobe.
Congratulations, you just killed your first patient.
All right, take it easy.
Brandon.
Lucky for you, she won't take it personally.
Dr.
Kimura.
You ever gonna make that mistake again? - Absolutely not.
- Good.
Then the run-through served its purpose.
Tomorrow, I.
M.
H.
performs its first successful hemispherectomy.
Her name's Chloe.
She's five years old.
She's a special little girl.
It's a long surgery, nine hours.
I wanna be out of there by 6:30 P.
M.
, so go home and get some rest.
Fatigue leads to mistakes, and mistakes eat time.
And time is our enemy.
I - I still can't believe we're doing this.
Taking out half of Chloe's brain? Sweetheart.
For epilepsy as severe as Chloe's, the hemispherectomy is our only option.
Yes, but how will Chloe still be Chloe? Well, the brain is amazingly plastic, so all the major functions like personality, they'll shift and transfer from the right hemisphere to the left.
It sounds like science fiction.
I know.
I know it does.
But afterward, Chloe won't have a hundred seizures a day.
She'll be able to eat on her own.
She'll be able to talk.
She'll develop properly.
I believe that we can give Chloe the life she was meant to live.
So Shauna, the Amazon from accounting - Oh, come on, be nice.
- What? I still asked her out.
She's on me about the hundred rats I ordered for the kill drug.
She's not gonna give me approval until I tell her what they're for.
Tell her they're for the tyrosine kinase project.
I can't.
We use that to hide the gene sequencer.
All right, how about the intercellular signal transduction? We used that one for the P.
C.
R.
machine.
Uh, what's left? The neuron apoptosis study.
Perfect, I will tell Shauna, for whom I have a deep and abiding respect.
Hey, if you got rats, you're testing the drug.
Yeah, and next week, I'll be testing another drug and using another hundred rats.
Don't get excited.
We can wake up early and go clam digging.
- Oh, that sounds amazing.
- Great.
Or we could wake up late and go croissant digging.
Wait, so which part sounded amazing? The "we" part.
Going down? Yeah, yeah.
How you guys doing? - All right.
- Good.
So you guys got big plans for the weekend? Oh, yeah.
Taking a three-day weekend.
Finally getting Lena down the shore.
Oh, great.
Sounds like fun.
Yeah, I haven't been to the ocean in years.
Yeah.
Oceans are great.
- Bye.
- Take care.
Have a good night.
Ian, listen.
I have a nine-hour surgery tomorrow.
It's very difficult, and I need to be in good condition.
So if you can get a good nights sleep and keep your hand out of the cookie jar for one night, I'll make it worth your while.
Okay, 1,000 in cash tonight.
5,000 in cash tomorrow for good behavior.
Please, Ian, this is important.
You Ian Price? - For the moment, yeah.
- Get in.
You're gonna have to do better than that, pal.
Somebody wants to see you.
- Who? - A woman.
Oh, that'll do it.
Let's go.
The way you threw me hurt like a stone I need some space to breathe I need some Well, well, well.
Wow.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Sneaky.
I like it.
Can I start you off with something to drink? Coffee? Beer? Just water for me.
Okay.
Water? Jason's got some special surgery tomorrow.
So keeping it clean tonight.
And you two are cooperating? People can change, Olivia.
Oh, and how much is change going for these days? Let's just say I got dinner covered.
Come on, I'm not gonna bite you.
Ooh.
Okay.
I thought about you a lot in Minnesota.
Did you go to the cabin? Yeah, I thought I was getting away from you, but wherever I looked, there you were.
I know the feeling.
While we were there, Cole started asking about his father.
- What did you tell him? - Nothing that helped.
Ian, I want him to know who his father is.
Cole knows me.
Not you.
I'm sorry? I want Cole to meet Jason.
I want Jason to be his father.
Yeah, I can't let that happen.
You're not ready to be a father.
Jason is.
I think you underestimate me.
I never underestimate you.
That is why I'm here.
Is it? Is that why you're here? - To get permission? - No.
So that you don't destroy it.
For Cole.
I have laid my cards out on the table.
Have you? I have been up front about everything.
I don't think you have not everything.
What I feel about you and what is best for Cole are two completely different things.
Doesn't have to be.
If you can find a way to let Cole have Jason Maybe maybe I can find a way for us.
So Jason gets a son, and I get you, is that it? Everyone gets what they want.
Maybe.

Course you knew.
Is he mine? Cole? Olivia.
Is he mine? We have been so good tonight.
Don't ruin this.

You gave me a chance.
Why don't you let Cole give me a chance? That's all I'm asking.

Okay, Yvonne, we're gonna get you all hooked up.
Hey, uh, little issue this weekend with patient "Shore.
" Seems there's been a double booking.
Who? I will kill them.
My parents.
Oh.
Killing them is not the ideal first impression.
No, but there is plenty of room for everybody, and they'd be thrilled to meet you, if that's not too much too soon? No, not at all.
That sounds great.
- Still excited? - I'm so excited.
Ladies.
Now why are you smiling? He's nice.
But you're trying too hard.
Oh, you know what, you are trouble.
I can tell by that little Yvonne? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Get in there.
Don't be shy.
No need to be gentle.
We got a bleed.
Dr.
Cole, did I do that? No.
Suction.

That'll be another 70 minutes.
70 minutes.
Damn it.
Relax, Jason.
She'll be fine.
We got all day.
Ken.
I have an embolic stroke that's converted to a bleed.
We're an hour and a half behind in here, Lena.
I can't lose him.
Any signs of increased intracranial pressure? She's nauseated.
You're halfway there.
You got this.
All right.
Go.
Go.
Brandon, you are my new copilot.
Can you handle this? I think so.
- You think so? - I can do it.
Great.
Here's the thing.
At this rate, we're gonna be done a little before 8:00.
Know what the means? No mistakes.
None.

Well, if you're gonna have a stroke, - here's the place to do it.
- Yep.

- Not now.
Sorry to interrupt.
Pathology's here to check out the occipital lobe.
I haven't removed the parietal lobe yet.

Tell pathology to get in here, do their thing, and do it fast.
- Hey, sorry I stole Ken.
- No, it's okay.
You did what you had to do.
How's it going over there? Oh, she had a T.
I.
A.
I was gonna give her anticoagulants and send her on her way.
Now I don't know if she's gonna make it.
Yeah, I wish I could help.
Well, I think you've got your hands full - with my other patient.
- Yeah.
I hate being pulled in two different directions.
Yeah, me too.
Pathology's in there, eating up all my time.
It'll take them ten minutes to realize they're looking at a brain.
- Hey, guys, come on! - Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Stop.
You spook them, and they'll take longer.
Well, you know, you do everything you can to prepare, control your environment.
Yeah, and sometimes there's other forces at work.
Yeah.
Lena, if there's another complication, I don't know what I'm gonna do.
You'll pull through.
I'm not so sure.

Right now.
Go.
Pushing.
Pressure's normalizing.
Okay.
That a girl, Chloe.
Are you ready for the corpus callosum? Yes.
Yes, let's go.
Oh, no.
Dr.
Cole? I'm not gonna make it.
I gotta go.
What? You can't go.
What do I do? I can't be here.
I can't be in surgery right now.
- Dr.
Cole.
- I can't operate.
Doctor.
Dr.
Cole? Is Chloe done? Uh, Mr.
Campion You know what? She's she's not done actually, but we're very close.
Did you come out to talk to us? No, I'm just I'm not feeling very well, so Dr.
Jordan's gonna take over the procedure.
- But she's in excellent hands.
- I'm sorry, what Hang on.
Hang on a second.
She was supposed to be out of there an hour and a half ago.
- And now you're leaving? - I understand.
But all I can tell you is she's in really great hands.
And we're taking excellent care of her, okay? - Please - I'm so sorry.
Hang on Hey, Ken, I need you to take over my hemi for me.
Can't.
Elbow deep in the cerebellum.
Clot crosses the midline, I'm here till my pension vests.
Please.
What, you really feeling that bad? Yeah, yes, I wouldn't ask you if I wasn't desperate.
One person I can think of.
It's the last stage, Vanessa.
You've cut the callosum before.
I know that it's a lot to ask, but I really can't see straight right now.
- Is this about your diabetes? - Yes.
Yes.
Exactly.
Your diabetes that you don't have? I don't have time to explain this to you right now.
You know what, manipulating the schedule for your own selfish end is one thing, but to leave a patient open on the table, endangering Stepping away from the patient is the thing that's gonna save this girl's life.
Vanessa, I can't be in the O.
R.
right now.
Okay.
While I'm in the O.
R.
finishing your job, you'd do well to come up with a better excuse that I look forward to hearing in the morning.
I take a 61/2 glove, thank you.
All right, everybody, I have arrived to liven up the end of a long day.
No slouching in my O.
R.
, Dr.
Kimura.
Yes, ma'am.
Dr.
Cole was using a ball dissector for the callosotomy.
He already exposed the rostral sections of the callosum I got eyes.
I can see.
- Here you go, doc.
- Thank you.
Okay.
Um Is something wrong, Dr.
Young? If there is a problem, I will tell you.
I haven't made this cut in ten years.
I'm not about to start rushing now.
A little too far to the left, the patient will never talk again.
Too far to the right, she'll never walk again.
We don't guess.
We know.
- Understand? - Yes, Dr.
Young.
You were just on it, Dr.
Young.
Oh, God.
Taxi! Jason! Lena.
What's wrong? Young froze.
She can't make the cut.
What? You have to get back in there, or Chloe will die.
Oh.
What are you doing? Jason.
Jason, look at me.
Jason, get your ass back in there.
You have to.
All right.
Let's go.
I'll meet you in the O.
R.
in five minutes.
- Ruben, where is it? - Where is what? The kill drug.
Is it stable? It's on the cart.
I have no idea.
I haven't tested it yet.
All right, test it on me.
Right now.
In no universe is that happening.
It's not a request, Ruben.
Just give me the drug.
No way.
There's no way of knowing what it will do to you.
I don't care what happens to me, all right? There's a little girl in surgery who's not gonna make it without me.
I'm the only one that can save her.
Yeah, this is not a discussion.
I don't have time for this.
You could take it and drop dead.
There's no way to know.
If you don't give me the drug now, she's gonna die.
- No.
- You understand me? No, you're not getting it! No! Now I don't know whether to stay for science run for cover.
Do you feel him? Uh Yeah, a little, like he's Like he's trying to get out.
Then it's not working.
I don't feel anything.
It worked.
It worked.
It worked? - Yeah, it worked.
- It worked! - Oh, my God.
- Genius.
Genius.
Dr.
Young.
Jason? What are you doing here? I'm feeling much better.
Go home.
I don't need you here.
Vanessa, please.
Wait.
I put you in a terrible position, all of you.
And I'm really sorry, but let me finish what I started.
Let me make this right.
Let me get Chloe back to her parents.
- Go ahead.
- Thank you.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
- What's up? - What's up? Okay, Chloe, let's finish up.
Okay.
Status update, Brandon.
Rostral anterior currently exposed.
Tejal, blood pressure? 120 over 90 and rock solid.
Any cardiac ectopy? None.
Get ready for resecting the last segment.
Surgi-clamp.
Thank you.
Give me a little more retraction.
Deeper.
Corpus callosum exposed.
Section six of six, corpus callosum.
Okay, with the medial portion severed, Brandon, go ahead and reapply the electrodes.
Good.
Okay, let's check the E.
E.
G.
Tejal, good wave forms? Excellent.
Fantastic.
We did it.
Congratulations.
You should be proud.
Thank you, Dr.
Cole.
Dr.
Solis? Dr.
Jordan was asking for you.
Oh, great.
Thanks.
Give me some good news.
Evacuated the bleed.
Looks like there's minimal damage to the brain.
I think Yvonne's got a good chance at a full recovery.
Ah! Thank you! Mm! You're the best.
Mr.
and Mrs.
Campion.
Great news.
Chloe's gonna be fine.
Oh, thank God.
The surgery took a little longer than expected.
There were some complications, but Chloe came through it like a trooper.
- She'll be all right? - Yeah, absolutely.
Thank you.
And I'm really sorry about earlier.
No.
It's fine.
- Can I just - Yes.
- Thank you so much.
- You're so welcome.
When, um, when can we see her? Well, I'll have one of the nurses bring you back shortly.
Dr.
Cole, are you okay? Yeah.
Yeah.
Fine.
- Excuse me one second.
- Yes, of course.
I'll have someone come get you.
- Thank you.
- You're very welcome.
It's just different this time.
It's like if I try hard enough, I can keep him down, you know? Just give me the drug, please.
You could be giving birth right now, and I wouldn't know because we're still not done testing the drug.
Ruben, if you don't give me the drug, he's gonna show up here, he's gonna realize it's not 8:25, and he's gonna wonder what the hell's going on.
Is that what you want? Fine.
I'll give you another dose, but just so we can plan our next move.
Okay.
Thanks.
Whoa.
Wow, it's gone.
He's gone.
That's amazing, it's it's like he was never there.
I feel fantastic.
That is incredible.
Let's get more data.
I need your vitals, brain waves.
We'll do blood draws every 20 minutes.
I need to correlate your E.
E.
G.
s with your E.
K.
G.
s.
You know what? We should think about ordering dinner.
Uh, no.
You know what? I'm gonna go.
- What are you doing? - I have somewhere I want to go.
Hey, Jason, I agree this is remarkable, but we need more data.
Not tonight, pal.
You just make some more of this, okay? No, no, you need to stay in a controlled environment.
Why? I got the compound.
If I feel him coming on, I'll just take the drug.
Yeah, this isn't aspirin.
This is a highly volatile compound.
It works.
It works, Ruben.
It's my first night of freedom.
I'm not gonna spend it in a lab with you.
But you did it.
You did it.
Jason.
Hi.
Hi.
What are you doing here? - Are you okay? - Yeah.
Yeah, I'm I'm great, actually.
I just wanted to see you.
Okay.
I had something happen to me today that I couldn't explain.
And I felt this rush, this crazy rush, and I didn't know what it was.
And then just now, it hit me.
It's happiness.
I can't remember the last time I felt happy, and I wanted to share it with someone.
Well, I wanted to share it with you.
Please don't.
Lena, the thing that's been keeping me from you, it's gone.
And I feel like, for the first time, maybe we could be together.
Please say something.
Is this because I'm going away for the weekend with Rob? No.
Your timing is suspect.
It has nothing to do with that, I swear.
I don't care.
You can't just show up here whenever you have a feeling.
It's not fair to me.
And I'm with someone.
Does it not occur to you how you screw with my head? No.
It hasn't, actually.
It should have.
But you're right.
You're totally right.
I I'm really sorry.
I never should have come here.
It was selfish of me.
I You know the first time I met you, I could barely make eye contact with you.
- Mm-mm.
- It's true.
I knew I'd be in trouble if you had a personality.
So it's really good that you don't.
You know, if somebody would mention your name, my attention was rapt.
- Get out.
- Mm-hmm.
And you'd walk into a room, and my heart would pound.
Took me a while to recognize the symptoms.
The symptoms? Nerd.
Nerds have no business being this beautiful.
Just to be beside you You know, it's getting late.
We should probably sleep at some point.
No way.
I'm never gonna sleep again.
I want to see the sun come up.
Been a long time since I've seen that.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
You know what? I know a really, really good view.
- Really? - Get dressed.
- Where are we going? - Come on.
We're almost there.
For living a lie Right here.
Perfect.
Oh, wow.
It's beautiful.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I could do this every night.
Just be here now.
Say it out ooh ooh ooh ooh Hey, Lena, it's me.
Just making sure you're all right.
Car's all packed, we're just waiting on you.
I know you generally run a few minutes late, but if you hit the 45-minute mark, well, I'm afraid breakfast is gonna be on you.
Shoot me a text.
Let me know you're okay.
Can't wait to see you.
- Hey.
- Hmm? - Sleepy.
- Mm.
You missed the big sunrise.
Mmmm.
Yes, you did.
You were sleeping.
Mmmm.
No, I didn't.
Really? What did it look like? Like the sunrise.
How about some breakfast? Mm.
Sounds good.
Come on.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
I got the blanket.
Hey, you okay? Uh I gotta go to the hospital.
I didn't think you had to go in today.
Yeah.
I do.
Jason.
Jason, stop! - You're bailing on me.
- Lena.
You spent the night, and you're bailing.
Lena, please.
For once in your life, I want you to tell me the truth.
- Where are you going? - I wish I could tell you.
"I wish I could"? "Oh, I'm so sorry, Lena.
If only things were different.
" You know what? - Screw you, Jason! - Lena, please.
I can't believe I let you do this.
Here.
If you're gonna go, you might as well go.
Go! Cole, daddy's not coming.
I'm sorry.
Aah! Hey, hey, hey.
You all right, man? What time is it? I have 8:40.
Where am I? Rittenhouse Square.
Olivia.
Olivia! Olivia! Aah! Hey, you okay? I'm fine, fine.
I'm fine, thank you.
I'm sorry, okay? - Who is it? - Lena, it's me.
So you're alive.
What the hell is going on? I've been calling.
I'm sorry.
I um, I screwed up.
What is it? What happened? You couldn't pick up your phone? You've been in the shower for the last hour? What is going on? Hey, are you okay? I don't know.
Look I never packed.
I can help you pack.
No, Rob.
Wait.
I can't go with you to the shore.
And you and your parents, you don't want my company.
- Of course we do.
- No, you don't.
You don't want me.
I don't want to lie to you.
Look, obviously you are going through something here.
And I know you feel like you have to do everything on your own, all the hard stuff.
But you don't.
Hey, you don't.
You've got me now.
And whatever it is you're going through, we can go through it together.
Here, at the shore, I don't care.
Hey.
