Do No Harm s01e09 Episode Script
Circadian Rhythms
1 Previously on Do No Harm Ruben, just give me the kill drug.
I haven't tested it yet.
There's no way of knowing what it'll do to you.
It worked.
My first night of freedom.
I'm not not gonna spend it in a lab with you.
It's not working.
It's not working! I gotta go.
Go! Ian, I want him to know who his father is.
You gave me a chance, why don't you let Cole give me a chance.
Cole, daddy's not coming.
[Desperately.]
Olivia! He's coming randomly.
No 8:25, nothing.
It's chaos.
We're dead.
Uh I can barely survive him on the normal schedule.
What am I gonna do now that he's showing up randomly? Amazing.
What? Ruben? Look at these beta waves in the frontal regions.
Excessive spikes in the left central, left temporal regions.
Huge numbers: 35, 40.
It's like your brain is having a seizure but your body isn't.
We need to come up with a plan.
Okay, here's the plan.
When you turn into Ian, I'll run like hell, and you call me when you're Jason again.
Come on, what's the half-life of the drug? How long am I gonna be dealing with this? I have no idea.
What do you mean, you have no idea? You created it.
I begged you not to take it.
I told you over and over, because it wasn't tested yet.
So, no, I have no idea if or when it will normalize.
Okay, if my blood absorbed the drug, then I should get on dialysis, right? Wash it out? But if the drug attached to the neurotransmitters, we may have to induce seizures or use shock therapy to get 'em loose.
He's coming.
What? He's coming.
All right, take all this stuff and hide it.
[Velcro rips.]
What? - Hide everything.
- What are you gonna tell him? I don't know.
A lie.
[Lamp crashes.]
Ian, listen to me.
I was in a car accident, and I sustained A trauma to the head.
[Furniture banging.]
It's thrown off our internal clock, [stammers.]
Our circadian rhythms.
We are transitioning randomly.
We've got a concussion, so you need to stay in a-and not go anywhere.
Don't do any [Grunts.]
[Grunts intensely.]
[Whispering.]
What the hell? Ian, listen to me.
I was in a car accident, and I sustained trauma to the head.
It's thrown off our internal clock, [stammers.]
Our circadian rhythms.
We are transitioning randomly.
We've got a con We are transitioning randomly.
Come out, come out.
Wherever you are.
If someone's here, you should come out now, because I will find you.
No? Okay.
You wanna play? Let's play.
[Whistling softly.]
You're making it worse for yourself.
I think you should know that.
See, the problem with hide and seek is, sooner or later, the seeker stops having fun and starts getting angry.
[Curtain hooks clatter.]
[Suspenseful music.]
[Light clicks on.]
[Grunting.]
You shouldn't have done that.
[Grunts.]
You again.
It's been a while.
No! [Glass shatters.]
Stop! No, don't! Hold it! I don't know anything! Wrong answer.
No, wait! Don't! [Intense music.]
[Panicked breathing.]
[Voice breaks.]
Ruben.
You're right.
We're dead.
Do No Harm 01x09 Circadian Rhythms Originally Aired August 17, 2013 Ruben, we can't go to IMH.
You want to try dialysis, right? Where else can we do that but IMH? But let's just go to a different hospital.
We can't just walk into some random hospital.
I'm not going to risk Ian getting loose in the hospital.
I'm not going anywhere else with you.
- Ruben.
- No.
It's the only option for us.
I've got my lab, my office, a lockdown room.
I can do all the treatments in there.
I'll be in control.
He'll be trapped.
- Look, if he gets out again - He won't.
Trust me, Jason.
It's the only way.
Taxi! Independence Memorial Hospital.
Fast as you can.
You coming? It's probably best if I meet you there.
Dr.
Cole.
You have three consults waiting in the E.
R.
Josh, I can't do it.
I need you to take me off the board now.
I am not allowed.
Hospital protocol states that only the physician on call may request to be removed from any consulting duties.
Fine.
I-I'll take care of it.
But I need you to cancel everything else.
And listen, Josh, I'm coming in today, but I can't see anyone, I can't talk to anyone, I can't be around anyone, do you understand? So you're gonna be here, but you're not gonna be here? - Yes.
- Got it.
And if you see me later, run the other way.
Run the other way.
Got it.
Excuse me, excuse me.
Oh, I'm really very sorry, Mr.
Hayes, but Dr.
Cole won't be able to see you today.
Uh, he profusely apologizes and said he'll call you as soon as he can.
But he's coming into the office? No, he isn't.
You just said he was gonna be here.
Well, he is, but he isn't.
H-he won't have time to see you or anyone today.
But if you're feeling ill, you should go to the emergency room.
No, no.
No, I'll wait here for Dr.
Cole.
He will make time for me.
[Exhales.]
You sure you're up for work? Yeah, yeah.
I think it'll be, uh, good to focus on other people.
Then I will see you tonight? Rob, look, you should go to the shore without me.
Just don't let me ruin your weekend.
So tell me again, why is it that you want to spend the weekend working instead of with me? Look, if there is a problem between us, I wanna know.
Everything is fine.
I promise.
- He woke up blind.
- I didn't wake up blind.
It's blurry.
And double.
Okay, well, let's take a look.
See what's going on here.
I want you just to stare straight at me.
How many fingers am I holding up? I can't see your hand.
Okay.
How about now? - No.
- Mm.
He's been waking up with headaches for the last few weeks.
Mike, I can't see, but I can still talk.
What he said.
Any vomiting? - A little.
- A lot.
It just seems like a lot to you because you hate vomit.
Who doesn't? He's also lost a lot of weight in the last two weeks.
How much weight? Close to 15 pounds.
I just thought that my cleanse was working.
I'm a dancer.
Is it a tumor? I've been looking his symptoms up online.
- And I just - Okay, never do that.
Those sites specialize in scaring people.
Could be a lot of things.
We're just gonna have to see.
I'm gonna start out with an MRI and a CAT scan.
And we'll go from there, okay? [Exhales.]
Hey, Jordan.
Are you on for neurosurgery? Cole.
What do you got? [Sighs.]
Male, early 30s.
Vomiting, vision changes, morning headaches.
Brain mass until proven otherwise.
How'd he take it? Take what? I didn't tell him anything.
You didn't prepare him for bad news? No, because I, unlike you, Jordan, like to fill my patients with hope rather than devastating them five minutes after we've met.
You're not filling 'em with hope.
You're just delaying the inevitable.
[Elevator bell chimes.]
Hey, Blanca, I need you to take my name off the board.
Right now.
Immediately.
Uh, who's gonna be taking your call instead? Uh, Jordan.
See if he'll cover for me, okay? Lena.
I want to talk to you about this morning.
- I don't.
- Dr.
Cole? - Lena.
- Dr.
Cole! I need you to sign off.
Okay, let's go, let's go, let's go! Last call.
You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here.
Have a fantastic day off.
Quick like a bunny, Connie.
Full day off, full pay.
Yeah? Are you even authorized to do that? You over-think it.
Seize the day.
Have some fun, get some sun, have a Margarita for me.
Call me tomorrow.
[Claps hands.]
Come on, Jim, Dave, go.
See your kids, have a great day, okay? Have a fantastic day off.
I'll call you guys with the findings later.
Thank you.
- Hey, this is your idea.
- I know.
And it's a good idea.
No one comes down here.
If he starts screaming and yelling, no one will here him.
Camera's over there.
Double-bolted doors.
I can monitor everything from the lab.
Yeah, just remember what we said.
If he shows up, you stick to the script, okay? Explain everything into the intercom.
No matter what happens, no face-to-face contact.
You can do this.
All right? You are in control.
Got it? [Sighs.]
[Grunts.]
[Grunts intensely.]
[Phone beeps.]
Just sit tight, please.
We're getting dialysis.
It should clear all the neurotoxins from our blood and get our cycle back to normal.
[Velcro rips.]
Don't touch that.
Um, hi, Jason.
I'm Richard.
[Stammers.]
I'm a dialysis tech.
You hired me to administer plasma exchange.
Hi, Richard.
You got ten seconds to get in here and take this crap out of my arm.
Right.
Dialysis will wash out the toxic by-products poisoning your bloodstream.
Ten, nine Now, please, just relax.
We only have an hour left to go.
Seven, six We've already cycled through 80% of your bloodstream.
- Four, three - Please, stop counting.
- It's very difficult to con - Two - We just need to finish - One.
So you can stop transitioning.
- Transitioning? - Uh - What do you know? - Nothing.
I mean, I don't know know I just know that dialysis is the only way to fix you.
You were in a car accident.
There are toxins in your bloodstream that are causing you to cycle randomly.
Dialysis is the only way to wash the toxins out and return you to normal.
Please.
One hour.
[Cell phone vibrating.]
Jason? It's Ian.
That's not funny, Jason.
It's Ian.
Listen, Jason was in some kind of car accident and now I'm on his time.
Olivia, I was on my way to see you, and he he showed up.
I can't believe either of you anymore.
Jason doesn't know about Cole, does he? Well, I do.
It's me.
You know, Cole kept asking why his daddy didn't want to see him.
I was close, Olivia.
I was almost there.
Yeah, well, you weren't.
And I told you, if you hurt Cole, then we are done.
Look, this is Jason's fault.
He ruined this for me.
Okay? But he's never gonna keep me from you again.
You understand that? Olivia.
Listen to me, this is Jason's fault.
I would never hurt my son, you know that.
Well, you already did.
You both did.
I didn't.
I didn't do anything.
I was there, I saw you.
It's Jason that you should be angry at.
You both keep fighting this war, but it is everyone else who suffers.
I am sick of all of the secrets and the lying, and I am sick of being caught in the middle of this.
Olivia, listen to me.
I told you, this has nothing to do with me.
There was a car accident.
Jason Oh, my God.
There was no car accident, Ian.
Jason is trying to kill you.
And now you can kill each other and leave me and Cole alone.
Ahhh!? Hey, Richard.
You want to get in here before I bleed to death? [Beeping continues.]
Come on, man! Richard! [Grunts.]
[Door opens.]
Can I help? Didn't I try to kill you this morning? Ah, yes, you did.
Dr.
Cole sent me over to help.
I remember you.
From that awards ceremony.
Was that you? I thought that was Dr.
Cole.
Oh, did you? So you work with Jason? [Beeping stops.]
No.
Dr.
Cole's way above my pay grade.
I'm just a tech.
No, I don't think you are.
Jason wouldn't trust our treatment to just anyone.
Only the best and the brightest for us.
So why don't you tell me what it is you really do? And don't lie to me.
It's a pet peeve.
- I, uh, work in the lab.
- Uh-huh? In the lab? I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you.
Yeah, I-in the lab.
Okay, the lab.
What do you do in the lab? - I'm a-a chemist.
- A chemist? Well, thanks for being honest.
Uhhuh.
See, now I'm less angry than I was before.
- That's good.
- Because now I know the truth.
You're the chemist who tried to lock me away for five years.
It's nice to meet you face-to-face.
Tell me your name again.
Ruben.
[Mocking.]
R-r-Ruben? What are you working on now, Ruben? A new drug, maybe? Except this one's not supposed to just lock me away, is it? You're trying to kill me.
[Hard thump.]
[Grunts.]
[Grunting savagely.]
[Crash.]
Harder than you thought, huh? What is it, then? Are you one of those doctors that doesn't believe in D.
I.
D.
? Is that it? You maxed out on your dosage.
Because it's not working anymore.
You need to talk to your doctor - about getting an increase.
- I'll handle this.
- I'm sorry.
- This is Dr.
Cole's patient.
- I can't - I'll handle this.
- Mr.
Hayes.
- Where's Jason? I told you, he can't see you today.
No, you said he was coming in today! It's both.
What, do you think this is a joke? You think I'm funny, is that it? Look at me, look at you.
Why would I play games with a man who could break me in half? I'm l'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to cause a scene.
It's okay.
Why don't you just come back tomorrow? Tomorrow will be too late.
[Whispers.]
I'm not gonna make it.
You have a pituitary mass at the base of your brain.
It's 8 millimeters wide, and it's pressing on your optic nerve, which is causing the blindness.
Oh, God.
I knew it.
I Wh what now? Now Dr.
Kenneth Jordan is gonna perform a craniotomy to remove the mass.
You're on the schedule for this afternoon.
Does he have to do surgery right away? I mean, can't we try something else first? Mike, Chuck, I know this is scary.
- But right now - Is it-is it cancer? Well, we won't know that until we analyze the tissue.
So there might be chemo and radiation? And there is a chance that it's benign.
In which case, you wouldn't need any further treatment.
What chance? 10%? 30%? Well, I don't like to speculate about the outcomes until we know exactly what we're dealing with.
Can't you tell us anything? Well, I can tell you that Dr.
Jordan has done this procedure many, many times before, and it's not as complicated as it seems.
No, actually, it is very complicated.
Your tumor is located near the carotid artery.
Very bad place for it to be.
Also, I can tell you that a mass this size is almost certainly cancer.
Now, if I can get all of it out, your chances at a full recovery are excellent.
But if surrounding structures are involved You might not be able to get it all out? Right, in that scenario, we follow up with drug treatment and radiation, which can cause hair loss, nausea, loss of appetite.
Listen, everything is gonna be fine.
Dr.
Solis, we don't need to be comforted.
We need to hear the truth.
Okay.
What were you saying about the artery? [Lock beeps.]
[Computer beeps.]
[Drawers rattle.]
[Kicks desk.]
[Objects clattering, crashing.]
[Glass shatters.]
[Objects clattering, crashing.]
[Glass shatters.]
[Sputters.]
[Grunts savagely.]
[Panting.]
Ruben? Oh, my God, Ruben.
Ruben, it's me.
It's Jason, it's Jason.
Ruben, I'm so sorry.
- Hey, Ken.
- No.
Look, look, please, just listen.
What? You want a favor, right? - Yes.
- No.
I'm already covering you for today.
I thought you were sick.
Shouldn't you be at home? You look like hell.
Look, I want you to take over.
Everything my surgeries, the department, everything.
What do you mean? I'm gonna talk to Dr.
Young today.
I'm stepping down, and I want to hand everything over to you.
- For how long? - I don't know, indefinitely.
What, a day? A month? A year? - What does indefinitely mean? - A while.
- Probably.
Okay? [Scoffs.]
- Probably.
Ken, damn it, this is what you've always wanted, isn't it? I'm giving it to you.
It's a chance to prove what you're capable of.
What's your angle here? - I-I have no angle.
- Are you okay? Ken, I just need a yes or no answer.
- Yes.
- Okay.
[Sarcastic.]
Yeah, you're welcome.
You are not quitting.
I misled you about the diabetes.
I can't perform surgery anymore.
It's not safe.
I'm sick.
You worked on patients while you're sick? No, no.
I it's not contagious.
But this is why you made up this diabetes story? Yes.
Yes, I have a rare neuroendocrine disorder, and one of the symptoms is high cortisol levels and spiked epinephrine.
The glucometer test is my way of monitoring myself, but I have never, ever performed surgery while compromised, I swear to you.
Exactly what do you have, Jason? [Sighs.]
There's no name for it.
It's an anomaly.
I'm a case study.
I've tried everything.
I've been trying to [Breathes harshly.]
I've been trying to manage this thing for a very long time, and I don't think I can anymore.
So I'm gonna leave IMH.
You know why I put up with your nonsense? No.
Honestly, I don't.
Because when I weigh the good against the bad, the scale always tips towards the good.
You save people that have no hope of being saved, and not everyone in this world can say that, but you can.
Do you really want to give that up? [Voice breaks.]
No.
No, I don't.
Then you take time off and see a specialist.
But you're not quitting.
Don't let this darkness overtake you, Jason.
- Are you sure about this? - Yes, yes.
Look, if we can't get the drug out of my blood, we'll get it out of my brain.
Electroshock therapy should knock the drug off the receptors, just like you said.
And give you memory loss and cognitive dysfunction - in the meantime.
- Ruben.
I just need more time.
I'm working on a beta-antagonist.
I think it should work.
It neutralizes We don't have time [Grunts.]
Oh, God, he's coming.
What? [Grunts.]
If you won't do it to me, do it to him.
[Grunts.]
[Grunts.]
[Equipment beeping.]
Hi, Ian.
[Electrical sizzling.]
[Gasps.]
[Sighs.]
[Panting.]
Ruben.
How long have I been out? Four hours.
Really? All your cortisol levels are back to normal.
EKG, heart rate.
You're stable.
It's over, Jason.
Oh.
[Laughs.]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, where are you going, man? I have to monitor you the rest of the night.
Can't do it.
Got something I got to take care of.
[Monitor beeping steadily.]
- Lena.
- Is this about a patient? - No.
- Then go to hell.
I just Lena, please.
- Just wait.
- Don't touch me.
You have made a complete fool out of me.
You have humiliated me.
Do you have any idea what that feels like? To have those things done to you? - I know, I know.
- You do? Oh, that's great, that's great.
You are the worst kind of crazy because you make everybody around you crazy.
Most of all, me.
I have completely lost my mind dealing with you.
You're not crazy, Lena.
No, I am.
I am crazy.
You know why? Because right now, I should wanna kill you and cut you out of my life completely, but, instead, all I can think about is [Techno music.]
I want to crawl inside your skin lookin' out lookin' in I want to be with you again feel you out feel you in [Gasps, exhales.]
Are you okay? - Lena.
- Do you know where you are? I had a dream.
She I had a dream.
She was I was fine.
Everything was normal.
A-and Ian, he Listen, we'll get back to that, Jason.
Listen, I started working on a beta-antagonist this morning in the lab.
If I could just get what? [Grunts.]
- Oh! He's coming.
- Oh, God.
- Do it again, Ruben! - No, it's not gonna work! Come on, before he gets here! Jason, I want to help you, but not like this.
[Grunting savagely.]
It's not so easy to kill me, huh, Jason? Well, guess what? You ruined my life, it's my turn to ruin yours.
[Knocks on door.]
Hey, Ken.
You really impressed our patients today.
- Oh, that shocks you? - No.
No, you just tell it like it is.
I wish I could do that.
Well, you can.
I mean, I had to learn.
But there's there's a technique I could teach you.
- Right.
- No, no, I'm serious.
Close your eyes.
Come on, close 'em.
[Clears throat.]
Okay.
Now visualize the person you want to be honest with.
All right? And then now, this is the most important part click your heels together three times [Scoffs.]
Go to hell, Ken.
The optimism that you give your patients is to make you feel better, not them.
Vicodin? Oxycontin? Cocaine? Heroin? Speed? Hi, sexy.
Are you over 18 years of age? - Yes.
- Oh, that's too bad.
But you'll do, in a pinch.
Meet me in my office right away.
Did I do something wrong, Dr.
Cole? Am I in trouble? You are, sweetheart.
The good kind.
Jason, why have you been ignoring me all day? This guy, so clingy.
Ten minutes, my office, bring a friend.
You come to me every single time with your problems, and the one time I come to you, you leave me hanging.
Is that right? Come on, answer me! No.
Jason, I need help.
I figured as much.
What's the problem? I need to up my meds, but my doctor says that I've maxed out my dosage.
Well, what kind of quack are you seeing? I mean, everyone needs a little extra help these days.
Am I right? What are you taking? Uh, 20 milligrams of, uh, risperidone, clonazepam, and lithium.
Okay, here's what we're gonna do.
We are going to triple your dosage.
What is it? Clonazepam? - Um, risperidone and lithium.
- And lithium.
Okay.
This'll do the trick.
That that'll help? Come on, Will, this is the big, fancy doctor with all the awards and the degrees and stuff.
You will feel like a new man, I promise.
Thank you, Jason.
You're welcome.
Thank you, Will.
If I couldn't help a friend like you, well, just wouldn't want to go on living.
- Cole.
- Doctor hey, doctor.
- Did you talk to Young yet? - Um, remind me.
About taking over the department for you? What? My department? - Yes, Jason.
- What? Was I high? It's a terrible idea.
No, that's never gonna happen.
Wouldn't be fair.
To me.
What are you talking about? You just begged me this morning.
Well, I wasn't myself this morning.
I skipped breakfast.
I got to remember not to do that.
What are you? Insane? You know, I've been trying to figure you out, unravel the mystery.
But there is no mystery, is there, Jason? You are simply insane.
What is it? Bipolar? Borderline? Relax, Dr.
doctor.
You know why I'm head of the department and you're not? Because I'm better than you.
That must eat you up inside, to know that.
Doesn't it? I don't have time for this right now.
I'm on my way to cover your surgery.
Hey, you're not doing any surgery of mine.
No, no, no.
My patient, my surgery.
Come on, people, let's go! Let's operate! It's on! [Claps hands together.]
[Edgy rock music.]
[Whistling.]
Hi.
[Whistling.]
You are in a good mood, Dr.
Cole.
Oh, yeah.
You know why? No.
Because this is gonna be the best surgery ever.
- All right.
- Chuck Williams, 32 10 millimeter pituitary mass causing blindness,.
Starting resection via anterior craniotomy.
Well, Chuck, lucky for you, you won't feel a thing.
Dr.
Cole, glucometer test? [Monitor beeping steadily.]
You know, I don't think we need it today.
I feel fantastic.
We can't proceed without it, Dr.
Cole.
[Sighs.]
[Device drones, beeps.]
There you go, green.
I've never seen it do that before.
Dr.
Cole, could you please take the test again? Well, let me think about it no.
It's protocol, Dr.
Cole.
Your protocol.
Well, I'm overriding it.
- I'll have to call Dr.
Young.
- That's fine.
[Gloves snap.]
I'll be finished by then.
Ooh.
So many shiny things.
Hey, where's Jason? Oh, he's unable to see anyone today.
He keeps telling me that too.
Hey.
Can I I've got an experimental protocol for Jason Uh, Jason's patient.
- Oh, I'll get it to him.
- No, it's urgent.
I have to give it to him myself.
Is this for the patient he's operating on now? Operating? [Drill whirs.]
[Chortles.]
I like this one.
Are you sure? Very.
[Drill whirring.]
Dr.
Cole, you are too close to the midline! Dr.
Cole! [Monitor beeping rapidly.]
[Drill whirring.]
You're in the sagittal sinus! You're gonna tear the vessel! [Grunts violently.]
Have fun, Jason! [Slow, echoing.]
Compressing the bleeding.
[Slow, echoing.]
Pressure's dropping.
Heart rate's at 148.
Dr.
Cole, are you okay? Dr.
Cole? Is something wrong? [Alarm beeping in slow-motion.]
[Alarm beeping normally.]
Gauze, more gauze.
Dr.
Cole, should you continue? Get Dr.
Jordan in here right now! Loupes! I need some loupes! There you go.
[Alarm beeping, indistinct chatter.]
Sagittal sinus is just torn to shreds.
You control the bleeding while I sew up the graft.
I'm trying, but it won't stop.
Tejal, let's get him in reverse Trendelenburg, see if we can drop the flow up here.
Got it.
[Alarm beeping rapidly.]
All right, more suction.
Irrigation and a 7-0 ethilon.
[Alarm beeping rapidly.]
- He's tachy, 123.
- Yeah, come on.
Just give me a minute.
Gore-Tex patch.
More suction.
Irrigation.
The tissue is too friable.
You're never gonna be able to stop this bleeding.
I have to.
Almost there.
Remove the pressure from the sinus.
[Squelching.]
[Beeping stops.]
Stats coming up.
Second unit going in.
Repair is holding.
Pressure's coming back up.
[Exhales.]
What the hell is going on? Uh, there was a complication.
The drill slipped.
Oh, and you expect me to assist you with the resection after all the crap you pulled today? No, I expect you to do the resection yourself.
I'm scrubbing out.
For good.
What the hell were you doing in there? Remember when you said the good I do outweighs the bad? Well, the scale just tipped in the other direction.
Is he going to be okay? Well, we were able to repair the tear very quickly, After it occurred.
How does something like this happen in the first place? I don't know, I wasn't there when it happened.
And the tumor? Completely gone.
And the biopsy was negative, so Chuck won't need any radiation treatment.
And his sight should be completely restored within six to eight weeks.
Now, Chuck did lose a lot of blood because of the tear, so his recovery may be a bit slower.
Uh, just a few extra days here.
Should I get a lawyer? I mean, whose fault is this anyways? - Uh, it's no one's - It's our fault.
You should get a lawyer.
That's the truth.
- Hey.
- I tried to stop him.
- I know.
- But it's over now.
- What do you mean? - Give me your arm.
What's this? This antagonist has greater affinity for your neural receptors than the original kill drug.
How do you know it'll work? This one I had tested.
Twice.
And I'll stop him from coming randomly? It's not a cure-all, but you're back to normal.
I don't think I can live with that kind of normal anymore.
[David O'Dowda's All Alone.]
I will hold all lights on you we give ourselves a shining star all alone [elevator bell dings.]
All alone - Hey.
- Hey.
What happened in there? I, uh Lena, I lied to you.
I told you I was ready to be with you, and I wasn't.
And I'm not, and I never will be.
And I just I just wanted it to be true.
More than anything, I wanted it to be true.
Yeah, me too.
all the roses turn to black So tomorrow you have a 10:00 A.
M.
consult with the junior residents, a stereotactic biopsy at noon, followed by a lecture at Josh, I'm not gonna be in tomorrow.
Well, for how long? I mean, will you be postponing all your surgeries? What about the board meeting Thursday? Just cancel it.
Cancel it all.
And Josh, thank you, for everything.
For how long? When are you coming back? I'm not.
[Pills rattling.]
And though the trouble's in the dark I will hold all lights on you we give ourselves a shining star all alone and all the roses turn to black and my heart is as cold as stone we give ourselves a shining star all alone all alone I already ordered a bottle of wine.
I figured you might need a drink.
I know I do.
Great.
Lena Rob Everything isn't fine.
I know.
I have to tell you the truth.
Okay.
I wish I didn't have to, and I wish it never happened, but I want us to work, and I know that I have to be honest with you.
Last night I slept with Jason.
I'm so, so sorry.
And all the roses turn to black It was a mistake.
A terrible mistake, and I I just hope that if you can forgive me, we can start over.
Start over? We never really began, did we? Rob We're done.
[Knock on door.]
Jason? Go away.
I just need a minute, Olivia.
I don't want to hear it, Jason.
Please I know, I know, but just give me a minute.
You don't care who you hurt so long as you get what you want.
You are just as bad as he is worse.
Except at least I know what to expect from him.
With you, you pretend that you're so good and No, no, no.
Olivia, I am gonna fix everything now, okay? I don't care.
Kill each other.
As long as you stay the hell away from me.
I will.
I will.
That's why I'm here, all right? You don't have to run anymore.
There's no more hiding, okay? You can live your life now.
You always say that everything's gonna be all right, and it always ends up worse.
No.
Not this time.
I've got a solution.
I'm gonna fix it.
Permanently.
What are you talking about? What are you gonna do? After tonight, all of your problems will be over.
Mommy Daddy?
I haven't tested it yet.
There's no way of knowing what it'll do to you.
It worked.
My first night of freedom.
I'm not not gonna spend it in a lab with you.
It's not working.
It's not working! I gotta go.
Go! Ian, I want him to know who his father is.
You gave me a chance, why don't you let Cole give me a chance.
Cole, daddy's not coming.
[Desperately.]
Olivia! He's coming randomly.
No 8:25, nothing.
It's chaos.
We're dead.
Uh I can barely survive him on the normal schedule.
What am I gonna do now that he's showing up randomly? Amazing.
What? Ruben? Look at these beta waves in the frontal regions.
Excessive spikes in the left central, left temporal regions.
Huge numbers: 35, 40.
It's like your brain is having a seizure but your body isn't.
We need to come up with a plan.
Okay, here's the plan.
When you turn into Ian, I'll run like hell, and you call me when you're Jason again.
Come on, what's the half-life of the drug? How long am I gonna be dealing with this? I have no idea.
What do you mean, you have no idea? You created it.
I begged you not to take it.
I told you over and over, because it wasn't tested yet.
So, no, I have no idea if or when it will normalize.
Okay, if my blood absorbed the drug, then I should get on dialysis, right? Wash it out? But if the drug attached to the neurotransmitters, we may have to induce seizures or use shock therapy to get 'em loose.
He's coming.
What? He's coming.
All right, take all this stuff and hide it.
[Velcro rips.]
What? - Hide everything.
- What are you gonna tell him? I don't know.
A lie.
[Lamp crashes.]
Ian, listen to me.
I was in a car accident, and I sustained A trauma to the head.
[Furniture banging.]
It's thrown off our internal clock, [stammers.]
Our circadian rhythms.
We are transitioning randomly.
We've got a concussion, so you need to stay in a-and not go anywhere.
Don't do any [Grunts.]
[Grunts intensely.]
[Whispering.]
What the hell? Ian, listen to me.
I was in a car accident, and I sustained trauma to the head.
It's thrown off our internal clock, [stammers.]
Our circadian rhythms.
We are transitioning randomly.
We've got a con We are transitioning randomly.
Come out, come out.
Wherever you are.
If someone's here, you should come out now, because I will find you.
No? Okay.
You wanna play? Let's play.
[Whistling softly.]
You're making it worse for yourself.
I think you should know that.
See, the problem with hide and seek is, sooner or later, the seeker stops having fun and starts getting angry.
[Curtain hooks clatter.]
[Suspenseful music.]
[Light clicks on.]
[Grunting.]
You shouldn't have done that.
[Grunts.]
You again.
It's been a while.
No! [Glass shatters.]
Stop! No, don't! Hold it! I don't know anything! Wrong answer.
No, wait! Don't! [Intense music.]
[Panicked breathing.]
[Voice breaks.]
Ruben.
You're right.
We're dead.
Do No Harm 01x09 Circadian Rhythms Originally Aired August 17, 2013 Ruben, we can't go to IMH.
You want to try dialysis, right? Where else can we do that but IMH? But let's just go to a different hospital.
We can't just walk into some random hospital.
I'm not going to risk Ian getting loose in the hospital.
I'm not going anywhere else with you.
- Ruben.
- No.
It's the only option for us.
I've got my lab, my office, a lockdown room.
I can do all the treatments in there.
I'll be in control.
He'll be trapped.
- Look, if he gets out again - He won't.
Trust me, Jason.
It's the only way.
Taxi! Independence Memorial Hospital.
Fast as you can.
You coming? It's probably best if I meet you there.
Dr.
Cole.
You have three consults waiting in the E.
R.
Josh, I can't do it.
I need you to take me off the board now.
I am not allowed.
Hospital protocol states that only the physician on call may request to be removed from any consulting duties.
Fine.
I-I'll take care of it.
But I need you to cancel everything else.
And listen, Josh, I'm coming in today, but I can't see anyone, I can't talk to anyone, I can't be around anyone, do you understand? So you're gonna be here, but you're not gonna be here? - Yes.
- Got it.
And if you see me later, run the other way.
Run the other way.
Got it.
Excuse me, excuse me.
Oh, I'm really very sorry, Mr.
Hayes, but Dr.
Cole won't be able to see you today.
Uh, he profusely apologizes and said he'll call you as soon as he can.
But he's coming into the office? No, he isn't.
You just said he was gonna be here.
Well, he is, but he isn't.
H-he won't have time to see you or anyone today.
But if you're feeling ill, you should go to the emergency room.
No, no.
No, I'll wait here for Dr.
Cole.
He will make time for me.
[Exhales.]
You sure you're up for work? Yeah, yeah.
I think it'll be, uh, good to focus on other people.
Then I will see you tonight? Rob, look, you should go to the shore without me.
Just don't let me ruin your weekend.
So tell me again, why is it that you want to spend the weekend working instead of with me? Look, if there is a problem between us, I wanna know.
Everything is fine.
I promise.
- He woke up blind.
- I didn't wake up blind.
It's blurry.
And double.
Okay, well, let's take a look.
See what's going on here.
I want you just to stare straight at me.
How many fingers am I holding up? I can't see your hand.
Okay.
How about now? - No.
- Mm.
He's been waking up with headaches for the last few weeks.
Mike, I can't see, but I can still talk.
What he said.
Any vomiting? - A little.
- A lot.
It just seems like a lot to you because you hate vomit.
Who doesn't? He's also lost a lot of weight in the last two weeks.
How much weight? Close to 15 pounds.
I just thought that my cleanse was working.
I'm a dancer.
Is it a tumor? I've been looking his symptoms up online.
- And I just - Okay, never do that.
Those sites specialize in scaring people.
Could be a lot of things.
We're just gonna have to see.
I'm gonna start out with an MRI and a CAT scan.
And we'll go from there, okay? [Exhales.]
Hey, Jordan.
Are you on for neurosurgery? Cole.
What do you got? [Sighs.]
Male, early 30s.
Vomiting, vision changes, morning headaches.
Brain mass until proven otherwise.
How'd he take it? Take what? I didn't tell him anything.
You didn't prepare him for bad news? No, because I, unlike you, Jordan, like to fill my patients with hope rather than devastating them five minutes after we've met.
You're not filling 'em with hope.
You're just delaying the inevitable.
[Elevator bell chimes.]
Hey, Blanca, I need you to take my name off the board.
Right now.
Immediately.
Uh, who's gonna be taking your call instead? Uh, Jordan.
See if he'll cover for me, okay? Lena.
I want to talk to you about this morning.
- I don't.
- Dr.
Cole? - Lena.
- Dr.
Cole! I need you to sign off.
Okay, let's go, let's go, let's go! Last call.
You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here.
Have a fantastic day off.
Quick like a bunny, Connie.
Full day off, full pay.
Yeah? Are you even authorized to do that? You over-think it.
Seize the day.
Have some fun, get some sun, have a Margarita for me.
Call me tomorrow.
[Claps hands.]
Come on, Jim, Dave, go.
See your kids, have a great day, okay? Have a fantastic day off.
I'll call you guys with the findings later.
Thank you.
- Hey, this is your idea.
- I know.
And it's a good idea.
No one comes down here.
If he starts screaming and yelling, no one will here him.
Camera's over there.
Double-bolted doors.
I can monitor everything from the lab.
Yeah, just remember what we said.
If he shows up, you stick to the script, okay? Explain everything into the intercom.
No matter what happens, no face-to-face contact.
You can do this.
All right? You are in control.
Got it? [Sighs.]
[Grunts.]
[Grunts intensely.]
[Phone beeps.]
Just sit tight, please.
We're getting dialysis.
It should clear all the neurotoxins from our blood and get our cycle back to normal.
[Velcro rips.]
Don't touch that.
Um, hi, Jason.
I'm Richard.
[Stammers.]
I'm a dialysis tech.
You hired me to administer plasma exchange.
Hi, Richard.
You got ten seconds to get in here and take this crap out of my arm.
Right.
Dialysis will wash out the toxic by-products poisoning your bloodstream.
Ten, nine Now, please, just relax.
We only have an hour left to go.
Seven, six We've already cycled through 80% of your bloodstream.
- Four, three - Please, stop counting.
- It's very difficult to con - Two - We just need to finish - One.
So you can stop transitioning.
- Transitioning? - Uh - What do you know? - Nothing.
I mean, I don't know know I just know that dialysis is the only way to fix you.
You were in a car accident.
There are toxins in your bloodstream that are causing you to cycle randomly.
Dialysis is the only way to wash the toxins out and return you to normal.
Please.
One hour.
[Cell phone vibrating.]
Jason? It's Ian.
That's not funny, Jason.
It's Ian.
Listen, Jason was in some kind of car accident and now I'm on his time.
Olivia, I was on my way to see you, and he he showed up.
I can't believe either of you anymore.
Jason doesn't know about Cole, does he? Well, I do.
It's me.
You know, Cole kept asking why his daddy didn't want to see him.
I was close, Olivia.
I was almost there.
Yeah, well, you weren't.
And I told you, if you hurt Cole, then we are done.
Look, this is Jason's fault.
He ruined this for me.
Okay? But he's never gonna keep me from you again.
You understand that? Olivia.
Listen to me, this is Jason's fault.
I would never hurt my son, you know that.
Well, you already did.
You both did.
I didn't.
I didn't do anything.
I was there, I saw you.
It's Jason that you should be angry at.
You both keep fighting this war, but it is everyone else who suffers.
I am sick of all of the secrets and the lying, and I am sick of being caught in the middle of this.
Olivia, listen to me.
I told you, this has nothing to do with me.
There was a car accident.
Jason Oh, my God.
There was no car accident, Ian.
Jason is trying to kill you.
And now you can kill each other and leave me and Cole alone.
Ahhh!? Hey, Richard.
You want to get in here before I bleed to death? [Beeping continues.]
Come on, man! Richard! [Grunts.]
[Door opens.]
Can I help? Didn't I try to kill you this morning? Ah, yes, you did.
Dr.
Cole sent me over to help.
I remember you.
From that awards ceremony.
Was that you? I thought that was Dr.
Cole.
Oh, did you? So you work with Jason? [Beeping stops.]
No.
Dr.
Cole's way above my pay grade.
I'm just a tech.
No, I don't think you are.
Jason wouldn't trust our treatment to just anyone.
Only the best and the brightest for us.
So why don't you tell me what it is you really do? And don't lie to me.
It's a pet peeve.
- I, uh, work in the lab.
- Uh-huh? In the lab? I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you.
Yeah, I-in the lab.
Okay, the lab.
What do you do in the lab? - I'm a-a chemist.
- A chemist? Well, thanks for being honest.
Uhhuh.
See, now I'm less angry than I was before.
- That's good.
- Because now I know the truth.
You're the chemist who tried to lock me away for five years.
It's nice to meet you face-to-face.
Tell me your name again.
Ruben.
[Mocking.]
R-r-Ruben? What are you working on now, Ruben? A new drug, maybe? Except this one's not supposed to just lock me away, is it? You're trying to kill me.
[Hard thump.]
[Grunts.]
[Grunting savagely.]
[Crash.]
Harder than you thought, huh? What is it, then? Are you one of those doctors that doesn't believe in D.
I.
D.
? Is that it? You maxed out on your dosage.
Because it's not working anymore.
You need to talk to your doctor - about getting an increase.
- I'll handle this.
- I'm sorry.
- This is Dr.
Cole's patient.
- I can't - I'll handle this.
- Mr.
Hayes.
- Where's Jason? I told you, he can't see you today.
No, you said he was coming in today! It's both.
What, do you think this is a joke? You think I'm funny, is that it? Look at me, look at you.
Why would I play games with a man who could break me in half? I'm l'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to cause a scene.
It's okay.
Why don't you just come back tomorrow? Tomorrow will be too late.
[Whispers.]
I'm not gonna make it.
You have a pituitary mass at the base of your brain.
It's 8 millimeters wide, and it's pressing on your optic nerve, which is causing the blindness.
Oh, God.
I knew it.
I Wh what now? Now Dr.
Kenneth Jordan is gonna perform a craniotomy to remove the mass.
You're on the schedule for this afternoon.
Does he have to do surgery right away? I mean, can't we try something else first? Mike, Chuck, I know this is scary.
- But right now - Is it-is it cancer? Well, we won't know that until we analyze the tissue.
So there might be chemo and radiation? And there is a chance that it's benign.
In which case, you wouldn't need any further treatment.
What chance? 10%? 30%? Well, I don't like to speculate about the outcomes until we know exactly what we're dealing with.
Can't you tell us anything? Well, I can tell you that Dr.
Jordan has done this procedure many, many times before, and it's not as complicated as it seems.
No, actually, it is very complicated.
Your tumor is located near the carotid artery.
Very bad place for it to be.
Also, I can tell you that a mass this size is almost certainly cancer.
Now, if I can get all of it out, your chances at a full recovery are excellent.
But if surrounding structures are involved You might not be able to get it all out? Right, in that scenario, we follow up with drug treatment and radiation, which can cause hair loss, nausea, loss of appetite.
Listen, everything is gonna be fine.
Dr.
Solis, we don't need to be comforted.
We need to hear the truth.
Okay.
What were you saying about the artery? [Lock beeps.]
[Computer beeps.]
[Drawers rattle.]
[Kicks desk.]
[Objects clattering, crashing.]
[Glass shatters.]
[Objects clattering, crashing.]
[Glass shatters.]
[Sputters.]
[Grunts savagely.]
[Panting.]
Ruben? Oh, my God, Ruben.
Ruben, it's me.
It's Jason, it's Jason.
Ruben, I'm so sorry.
- Hey, Ken.
- No.
Look, look, please, just listen.
What? You want a favor, right? - Yes.
- No.
I'm already covering you for today.
I thought you were sick.
Shouldn't you be at home? You look like hell.
Look, I want you to take over.
Everything my surgeries, the department, everything.
What do you mean? I'm gonna talk to Dr.
Young today.
I'm stepping down, and I want to hand everything over to you.
- For how long? - I don't know, indefinitely.
What, a day? A month? A year? - What does indefinitely mean? - A while.
- Probably.
Okay? [Scoffs.]
- Probably.
Ken, damn it, this is what you've always wanted, isn't it? I'm giving it to you.
It's a chance to prove what you're capable of.
What's your angle here? - I-I have no angle.
- Are you okay? Ken, I just need a yes or no answer.
- Yes.
- Okay.
[Sarcastic.]
Yeah, you're welcome.
You are not quitting.
I misled you about the diabetes.
I can't perform surgery anymore.
It's not safe.
I'm sick.
You worked on patients while you're sick? No, no.
I it's not contagious.
But this is why you made up this diabetes story? Yes.
Yes, I have a rare neuroendocrine disorder, and one of the symptoms is high cortisol levels and spiked epinephrine.
The glucometer test is my way of monitoring myself, but I have never, ever performed surgery while compromised, I swear to you.
Exactly what do you have, Jason? [Sighs.]
There's no name for it.
It's an anomaly.
I'm a case study.
I've tried everything.
I've been trying to [Breathes harshly.]
I've been trying to manage this thing for a very long time, and I don't think I can anymore.
So I'm gonna leave IMH.
You know why I put up with your nonsense? No.
Honestly, I don't.
Because when I weigh the good against the bad, the scale always tips towards the good.
You save people that have no hope of being saved, and not everyone in this world can say that, but you can.
Do you really want to give that up? [Voice breaks.]
No.
No, I don't.
Then you take time off and see a specialist.
But you're not quitting.
Don't let this darkness overtake you, Jason.
- Are you sure about this? - Yes, yes.
Look, if we can't get the drug out of my blood, we'll get it out of my brain.
Electroshock therapy should knock the drug off the receptors, just like you said.
And give you memory loss and cognitive dysfunction - in the meantime.
- Ruben.
I just need more time.
I'm working on a beta-antagonist.
I think it should work.
It neutralizes We don't have time [Grunts.]
Oh, God, he's coming.
What? [Grunts.]
If you won't do it to me, do it to him.
[Grunts.]
[Grunts.]
[Equipment beeping.]
Hi, Ian.
[Electrical sizzling.]
[Gasps.]
[Sighs.]
[Panting.]
Ruben.
How long have I been out? Four hours.
Really? All your cortisol levels are back to normal.
EKG, heart rate.
You're stable.
It's over, Jason.
Oh.
[Laughs.]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, where are you going, man? I have to monitor you the rest of the night.
Can't do it.
Got something I got to take care of.
[Monitor beeping steadily.]
- Lena.
- Is this about a patient? - No.
- Then go to hell.
I just Lena, please.
- Just wait.
- Don't touch me.
You have made a complete fool out of me.
You have humiliated me.
Do you have any idea what that feels like? To have those things done to you? - I know, I know.
- You do? Oh, that's great, that's great.
You are the worst kind of crazy because you make everybody around you crazy.
Most of all, me.
I have completely lost my mind dealing with you.
You're not crazy, Lena.
No, I am.
I am crazy.
You know why? Because right now, I should wanna kill you and cut you out of my life completely, but, instead, all I can think about is [Techno music.]
I want to crawl inside your skin lookin' out lookin' in I want to be with you again feel you out feel you in [Gasps, exhales.]
Are you okay? - Lena.
- Do you know where you are? I had a dream.
She I had a dream.
She was I was fine.
Everything was normal.
A-and Ian, he Listen, we'll get back to that, Jason.
Listen, I started working on a beta-antagonist this morning in the lab.
If I could just get what? [Grunts.]
- Oh! He's coming.
- Oh, God.
- Do it again, Ruben! - No, it's not gonna work! Come on, before he gets here! Jason, I want to help you, but not like this.
[Grunting savagely.]
It's not so easy to kill me, huh, Jason? Well, guess what? You ruined my life, it's my turn to ruin yours.
[Knocks on door.]
Hey, Ken.
You really impressed our patients today.
- Oh, that shocks you? - No.
No, you just tell it like it is.
I wish I could do that.
Well, you can.
I mean, I had to learn.
But there's there's a technique I could teach you.
- Right.
- No, no, I'm serious.
Close your eyes.
Come on, close 'em.
[Clears throat.]
Okay.
Now visualize the person you want to be honest with.
All right? And then now, this is the most important part click your heels together three times [Scoffs.]
Go to hell, Ken.
The optimism that you give your patients is to make you feel better, not them.
Vicodin? Oxycontin? Cocaine? Heroin? Speed? Hi, sexy.
Are you over 18 years of age? - Yes.
- Oh, that's too bad.
But you'll do, in a pinch.
Meet me in my office right away.
Did I do something wrong, Dr.
Cole? Am I in trouble? You are, sweetheart.
The good kind.
Jason, why have you been ignoring me all day? This guy, so clingy.
Ten minutes, my office, bring a friend.
You come to me every single time with your problems, and the one time I come to you, you leave me hanging.
Is that right? Come on, answer me! No.
Jason, I need help.
I figured as much.
What's the problem? I need to up my meds, but my doctor says that I've maxed out my dosage.
Well, what kind of quack are you seeing? I mean, everyone needs a little extra help these days.
Am I right? What are you taking? Uh, 20 milligrams of, uh, risperidone, clonazepam, and lithium.
Okay, here's what we're gonna do.
We are going to triple your dosage.
What is it? Clonazepam? - Um, risperidone and lithium.
- And lithium.
Okay.
This'll do the trick.
That that'll help? Come on, Will, this is the big, fancy doctor with all the awards and the degrees and stuff.
You will feel like a new man, I promise.
Thank you, Jason.
You're welcome.
Thank you, Will.
If I couldn't help a friend like you, well, just wouldn't want to go on living.
- Cole.
- Doctor hey, doctor.
- Did you talk to Young yet? - Um, remind me.
About taking over the department for you? What? My department? - Yes, Jason.
- What? Was I high? It's a terrible idea.
No, that's never gonna happen.
Wouldn't be fair.
To me.
What are you talking about? You just begged me this morning.
Well, I wasn't myself this morning.
I skipped breakfast.
I got to remember not to do that.
What are you? Insane? You know, I've been trying to figure you out, unravel the mystery.
But there is no mystery, is there, Jason? You are simply insane.
What is it? Bipolar? Borderline? Relax, Dr.
doctor.
You know why I'm head of the department and you're not? Because I'm better than you.
That must eat you up inside, to know that.
Doesn't it? I don't have time for this right now.
I'm on my way to cover your surgery.
Hey, you're not doing any surgery of mine.
No, no, no.
My patient, my surgery.
Come on, people, let's go! Let's operate! It's on! [Claps hands together.]
[Edgy rock music.]
[Whistling.]
Hi.
[Whistling.]
You are in a good mood, Dr.
Cole.
Oh, yeah.
You know why? No.
Because this is gonna be the best surgery ever.
- All right.
- Chuck Williams, 32 10 millimeter pituitary mass causing blindness,.
Starting resection via anterior craniotomy.
Well, Chuck, lucky for you, you won't feel a thing.
Dr.
Cole, glucometer test? [Monitor beeping steadily.]
You know, I don't think we need it today.
I feel fantastic.
We can't proceed without it, Dr.
Cole.
[Sighs.]
[Device drones, beeps.]
There you go, green.
I've never seen it do that before.
Dr.
Cole, could you please take the test again? Well, let me think about it no.
It's protocol, Dr.
Cole.
Your protocol.
Well, I'm overriding it.
- I'll have to call Dr.
Young.
- That's fine.
[Gloves snap.]
I'll be finished by then.
Ooh.
So many shiny things.
Hey, where's Jason? Oh, he's unable to see anyone today.
He keeps telling me that too.
Hey.
Can I I've got an experimental protocol for Jason Uh, Jason's patient.
- Oh, I'll get it to him.
- No, it's urgent.
I have to give it to him myself.
Is this for the patient he's operating on now? Operating? [Drill whirs.]
[Chortles.]
I like this one.
Are you sure? Very.
[Drill whirring.]
Dr.
Cole, you are too close to the midline! Dr.
Cole! [Monitor beeping rapidly.]
[Drill whirring.]
You're in the sagittal sinus! You're gonna tear the vessel! [Grunts violently.]
Have fun, Jason! [Slow, echoing.]
Compressing the bleeding.
[Slow, echoing.]
Pressure's dropping.
Heart rate's at 148.
Dr.
Cole, are you okay? Dr.
Cole? Is something wrong? [Alarm beeping in slow-motion.]
[Alarm beeping normally.]
Gauze, more gauze.
Dr.
Cole, should you continue? Get Dr.
Jordan in here right now! Loupes! I need some loupes! There you go.
[Alarm beeping, indistinct chatter.]
Sagittal sinus is just torn to shreds.
You control the bleeding while I sew up the graft.
I'm trying, but it won't stop.
Tejal, let's get him in reverse Trendelenburg, see if we can drop the flow up here.
Got it.
[Alarm beeping rapidly.]
All right, more suction.
Irrigation and a 7-0 ethilon.
[Alarm beeping rapidly.]
- He's tachy, 123.
- Yeah, come on.
Just give me a minute.
Gore-Tex patch.
More suction.
Irrigation.
The tissue is too friable.
You're never gonna be able to stop this bleeding.
I have to.
Almost there.
Remove the pressure from the sinus.
[Squelching.]
[Beeping stops.]
Stats coming up.
Second unit going in.
Repair is holding.
Pressure's coming back up.
[Exhales.]
What the hell is going on? Uh, there was a complication.
The drill slipped.
Oh, and you expect me to assist you with the resection after all the crap you pulled today? No, I expect you to do the resection yourself.
I'm scrubbing out.
For good.
What the hell were you doing in there? Remember when you said the good I do outweighs the bad? Well, the scale just tipped in the other direction.
Is he going to be okay? Well, we were able to repair the tear very quickly, After it occurred.
How does something like this happen in the first place? I don't know, I wasn't there when it happened.
And the tumor? Completely gone.
And the biopsy was negative, so Chuck won't need any radiation treatment.
And his sight should be completely restored within six to eight weeks.
Now, Chuck did lose a lot of blood because of the tear, so his recovery may be a bit slower.
Uh, just a few extra days here.
Should I get a lawyer? I mean, whose fault is this anyways? - Uh, it's no one's - It's our fault.
You should get a lawyer.
That's the truth.
- Hey.
- I tried to stop him.
- I know.
- But it's over now.
- What do you mean? - Give me your arm.
What's this? This antagonist has greater affinity for your neural receptors than the original kill drug.
How do you know it'll work? This one I had tested.
Twice.
And I'll stop him from coming randomly? It's not a cure-all, but you're back to normal.
I don't think I can live with that kind of normal anymore.

I don't want to hear it, Jason.

You don't care who you hurt so long as you get what you want.
You are just as bad as he is worse.
Except at least I know what to expect from him.
With you, you pretend that you're so good and No, no, no.
