Do No Harm s01e12 Episode Script
You Made Me Do This
1 - Previously on Do No Harm - What is wrong with you? Well, maybe we never really know anyone.
Ian Price.
Uh, Dr.
Charmelo, hello.
I was told you're interested in a former patient of mine, an Ian Price.
I have a son.
Olivia won't let me see him again, not while Ian's around.
What's your name? - Cole.
- Be careful.
Monkeys have been known to eat their young.
A surgically implanted electrode you know, like flipping a switch.
Yeah, it could work.
Dr.
Cole? Josh, hey, listen.
You don't have to call me Dr.
Cole anymore.
It's Jason, okay? Oh, I don't think I could do that.
Well, you don't work for me anymore, so Well, not technically, but still there's a level of professionalism and decorum that one should Okay, you win.
You call me whatever you want.
- Thanks, Dr.
Cole.
- You got it.
What's going on? I was hoping to get your signature on something.
Mmhmm.
It's a letter of recommendation.
Right, right.
I feel awful even asking.
It's like I'm cheating on you, but the best Doctor Young could do is put me back in the temp pool until I get a new boss.
And you will someone great, all right? Someone a lot easier than me.
Let's have a look.
You know what? I'll just put this on your stick drive.
You don't even have to read it.
Josh Josh, let me see it.
"Josh Stern has been my irreplaceable right-hand man for the last five years.
He has served with distinction, unimpeachable loyalty, and with the true honor worthy of the title assistant.
" I could tone it down It's perfect.
- Thanks, Dr.
Cole.
- You got it.
I'll clean out your office today.
No need, Josh.
You've done enough for me already for a lifetime.
People are gonna wanna know what happened here.
I'm not sugarcoating any of it.
I understand.
I don't.
Jason, why? You had everything going for you, - everything you wanted.
- I know - Vanessa, I know.
I - But, Jason Sorry.
I'm just feeling a little I need a code cart in here! Vanessa.
Jason, just lie still.
Vanessa, this really isn't necessary.
All right, I had a dizzy spell.
It's nothing.
I-I feel fine.
Just lie still.
Come on, Vanessa, I'm okay, really.
Jason, for once listen to me, okay? Yes, ma'am.
Okay.
That brain stem looks good.
Which part of his brain do you think will light up? The scotch lobe or the vodka gyrus? This This is not from drinking.
Well, it's a, uh It's a solitary lesion.
It's a tumor.
It's cancer.
I am so sorry.
This can't be happening.
Um We'll put our best people on it.
The whole hospital will Please, Vanessa.
I don't think I can handle everyone's sympathy right now, so Yeah, but people need to know, Jason.
It explains your erratic behavior.
The outbursts, the lies it wasn't you.
It was it was this.
Please, not yet, okay? Well, it's a, uh, low-grade glioma.
No metastases.
Right.
So there's a shot at a cure.
Well, sure, but look at the surrounding structures.
One false move wipes out impulse control, personality - Ken.
- He's right.
Vanessa, he's right.
It's tricky.
Yeah, but not impossible.
I can get it, Jason.
I won't let you down.
Thanks, Ken.
But if anyone's gonna operate, I, uh I'd like it to be Philip Charmelo.
Charmelo? Here? Yeah, he's my mentor.
He's the best in the world.
But Jason, this tumor can't wait.
Do you think Charmelo's gonna drop everything, fly in here for your surgery? I think he might.
So? So You wanna tell me whose brain this really is? Bob Marley.
- Bob Marley? - Sad case.
By the time they called me in, there wasn't much I could do.
So did our plan work? They bought it everything.
Do No Harm 01x12 You Made Me Do This Originally Aired August 31, 2013 All right, so here's the MRI we faked.
This is a FMRI of my brain.
Obviously the blue area represents my brain activity.
And this is an FMRI of Ian's activity.
Different areas are working.
One brain, two distinct sets of wiring, except for one spot.
Now here's an overlay of both images on top of each other.
See that? That's the switch.
- That's where you become Ian.
- Exactly.
So tomorrow in the O.
R.
Instead of taking out the tumor I don't have, you are gonna place this chip directly on that switch Keep Ian from coming, hopefully for good.
I've gotta hand it to you, Jason.
Brilliant work.
Well, you taught me everything I know.
Plus, I had a little help from a friend.
It's incredible.
Thanks.
It's a shame all this technology came along so late in my career.
No telling what I could've done with it.
Still, we're making history.
Yeah, I just wish I didn't have to lie to everyone to do it.
Jason, you've been lying to them for years.
Think of this as the end of lying.
I know, but Phil, to do this surgery here these are people that know me, care about me.
It just seems like added risk.
Surgery takes days of prep.
If Ian wakes up in Minneapolis or Singapore or Istanbul, he'll be suspicious.
There's no telling what he might do.
So we're stuck with brain cancer, here.
Come on.
Vanessa, Ken, good morning.
Good morning.
Vanessa, you wear success well.
You are kind.
I think you used another word to describe me when I made a response to your neurosurge presentation in Sydney.
Well it was all in good fun.
It's truly an honor to have you here at IMH.
Jason means a great deal to us.
Something we all have in common.
Indeed.
That's why I've made all of our resources available to you our surgical suites, our staff.
Thank you, but that won't be necessary.
My full team is flying in, even as we speak.
Well, now that's something that won't be necessary.
Our neurosurgical team is among the best in the world, including our acting chief Ken Jordan here.
We actually spoke last week.
It's a pleasure to meet you in person.
Likewise.
It'd be an honor to be your first in the O.
R.
Nothing against you or your team, but my work requires a kind of precision that only comes from years of familiarity.
We're like a NASCAR pit crew, if you will.
Well, nothing against you and your team, but IMH is not rent-a-center.
And I am not just any surgeon.
This is my hospital and my rules.
Vanessa, uh, this might be my only shot at this.
That's why Philip's here.
So if it would make him more comfortable, let's let him have his team in the room.
Please, for me.
You want your own scrub nurse, your own anesthesiologist, so be it.
But Dr.
Jordan will assist.
Of course.
You're quite right.
Dr.
Jordan, as acting chief, I was wrong to exclude you.
You should be there, right by my side.
I'm sorry.
But what, are you gonna ask him to look away while you plant the chip? Jordan won't be in the O.
R.
, trust me.
Yeah, but you don't understand what he's like.
I know exactly what Dr.
Jordan's like.
There's a Jordan in every program.
I'll take care of him.
You just worry about Ian.
Well, he shouldn't be much of a problem.
And to what do we owe that pleasure? Well, he thinks he's won, so Perfect.
Let him keep thinking that.
- Dr.
Cole.
- Josh.
Uh, Philip, I Sure.
I just heard.
Oh.
Um How did you hear? Really? Do you even know me? Josh, listen.
I need you to promise me that you're not gonna tell anyone, okay? Promise me.
People need to know, people that care about you.
This is the last secret I'm ever gonna ask you to keep.
Please.
Okay.
Dr.
Charmelo? I, uh I just wanted to reassure you, I'll hold my own on the team.
I'm sure you will.
You're obviously an excellent surgeon.
Excuse me.
Do you have a package for Dr.
Charmelo? Uh, let me check.
I, uh, read your paper in the archives last month.
I didn't know anyone read those things.
I do.
But who cares who reads it? You wrote it.
It got published.
Find your swagger, Ken.
- You're the acting chief.
- Right, right, "Acting.
" Young likes to make a big deal out of that.
Yeah, well, Jason's her star.
Well, yeah.
Jason will be back in a few months, and then I'll be back to being attending.
Is that what you want? Well, what choice do I have? Vanessa would be livid that I even mentioned it, but my old hospital is looking for a Chief of Neurosurgery.
I'm sorry.
Did you say Charmelo? Yes, I did.
Dr.
Philip Charmelo.
- Twin Cities Memorial? - Yep.
I hired the person who's doing the search.
It's ending tomorrow.
And they still haven't found anyone they like yet.
Say, w-why don't you meet with her tomorrow? Oh what do you have to lose? I'd miss Jason's surgery.
So? It's an operation you've seen a hundred times Whereas this is the opportunity of a lifetime.
- Here you go, doctor.
- Thank you.
Your choice, of course.
How have you been feeling? I feel awful, like I wanna throw up all the time.
Mmhmm.
Well, the good news is that your brain and nervous system are fine.
It's probably just something you ate.
Okay.
And I'm sure as soon as you can keep some food down, Dr.
Kimura is gonna let you go home.
- How is she? - Um, she's fine.
Why did you even ask me to see her? It's clear there's nothing wrong neurologically.
With Dr.
Cole gone, I-I guess I didn't wanna make any mistakes.
You won't.
But no more food poisoning consults, huh? I need to talk to you.
Okay.
Except I shouldn't be talking to you.
Okay.
There are things that I've done and secrets that I've kept that I now realize I shouldn't have.
And by hiding them, I think I may have actually made things worse.
Josh, I have no idea what you're talking about.
I think you do.
No, I don't.
Dr.
Cole.
- He's sick.
- What? I hate to betray him, but I just feel like if I didn't have to keep so many secrets, it wouldn't have come to this.
Come to what, Josh? Dr.
Cole collapsed in his office.
They did a scan.
He has a brain tumor.
They're gonna operate tomorrow.
Big party Joe, it's Ian.
Listen, I need girls and I need 'em here fast.
How many can be here in the next, say, 20 minutes? Wow.
That was quick.
I'll call you back.
Whoa, Lena.
I'm so sorry.
What can I do? Um, exactly what you're doing, actually.
Listen.
With everything that's gone on between us, I understand why you didn't tell me, and I am not upset.
Well, that's a relief.
I know it's gotta be hard to even think about, but if there's anything I can do, you tell me, okay? Well, I-I can think of a few things.
- Jas - No? Not what you had in mind? Okay.
No, I just I-I didn't know what to expect.
You know, if you wanna be alone or No, no, definitely not.
I just had to come over, as soon as I heard.
Mmhmm.
Heard what? What exactly did you hear? You know, that you were scared.
- I am so scared - Overwhelmed.
And overwhelmed, like you wouldn't believe.
I'm gonna be here for you.
I was hoping you'd say that.
After the surgery, we're gonna know a lot more.
- Mm, the surgery.
- And by this time tomorrow, we'll have biopsied the tumor.
Mm, the tumor.
I'm gonna be in charge of your recovery, and we're gonna do this together.
You know what, Lena? I'm sorry.
I, uh, was wrong.
I think I might need to be alone, actually.
Jason, just so you know, you made me do this.
Minneapolis.
Charmelo's old hospital? Opportunity knocks at odd times.
You realize how disrespectful this is to Jason and to me to press this issue at this time? The search for chief ends tomorrow.
Your career has a high ceiling here at IMH.
Then take the "Acting" off my title.
I can't do that.
What, because Jason's coming back? Assuming that he makes a full recovery, yes.
What, so I'm just a placeholder? Don't take advantage of Jason's illness.
I can't put my career on hold until it's convenient for Jason.
Then think of IMH.
All I do is think about this hospital.
I live for this hospital.
Make me chief, Vanessa.
I'm just as good as Jason.
And nobody ever gives me a chance to prove it.
Give me a chance.
I can't do that, Ken.
I'm out tomorrow.
Hey, Cole.
Wake up, Cole.
- Wake up.
- Daddy? Shh.
Are you here to read me a story? No, reading's boring.
Daddy's got another plan.
What is it? Well, I don't wanna ruin the surprise.
But we can't let your mommy hear us.
Okay? Shh.
Exactly.
It'll be our little secret.
Okay? All right, come on.
Excuse me, are you Dr.
Philip Charmelo? Even if I wasn't, for you, I'd say I was.
I know about the surgery.
I wanna help with Jason's recovery.
As you can see, the mass is deep within the prefrontal cortex Damn.
Just above the temporal lobe, but medially impinging on the limbic system.
What's the maximal diameter? 3.
55 centimeters.
Something that big didn't get there overnight.
No.
No, it's clearly slow-growing.
It would've been there for quite some time Months, years even.
So Jason was getting sicker and sicker, and I missed it? I hope to minimize permanent losses by using a transcortical approach Incision just above the left ear.
It gives me a broad surgical field.
Is mommy coming? Cole, you'll understand when you're older, but sometimes you've gotta do things that you don't wanna do, like eating your vegetables.
Unless you like eating vegetables.
You like eating vegetables? I take that as a no.
You know, someone's forcing me to do something that I don't wanna do.
But Cole, I want you to understand, it's not your fault.
Okay? None of this is your fault.
Someone backs you into a corner, you've gotta fight back.
You must always fight back.
All right? Can I have some more whipped cream? Yeah, as much as you want.
Cole? Cole? Cole? Cole? Cole! - What took you so long? - Where is he? You know I can't tell you that.
- Where is he? - He's safe.
That's all you need to know right now.
Why are you doing this? Well, it seems you and Jason have left me no other choice.
He is just a little boy.
- He's our little boy.
- Really? Is that why you let Jason come over and read stories to him? Play happy little family with him? It's not what you think.
I trusted you, and you betrayed me.
- I didn't betray you.
- I trusted you! - And you betrayed me.
- No! You've just gotta tell me where he is.
I can't do that.
Cole's my insurance policy.
He is my son! And I'm the only one who knows where he is.
So here's the deal.
If Jason goes through with this surgery, if he successfully cuts me out, if I'm gone then you will never - see Cole again.
- No.
No.
No, you stay with me.
No, where is he? Ian! No, you stay with me! Ian, where is he? Oh, God! Damn it! Olivia.
Ian took Cole! We're ready, Philip.
We'll find Cole, all right? We'll find him.
I have to call the police.
No, you can't call the police.
They'll come here.
They'll arrest me.
We'll lose our best chance at finding him.
Well, what else can I do, Jason? Cole is out there somewhere, alone and scared and maybe hurt.
I'll find him, all right? I'll do whatever it takes.
- I'm gonna find him.
- What are you gonna do? You can't remember anything that Ian did.
Yeah, but I was there, right? Wherever Cole is, I was there.
So there's gotta be something.
Some keys or A receipt, matches, something.
These are Will's.
He was here.
Who's Will? I thought you'd started already.
Jason's running a little late.
He's not here? Mmmm.
Not yet.
Do you know where he is? He'll be here.
Suppose he's collapsed again.
Suppose he's passed out somewhere.
Vanessa, you run a nice little hospital here, but let this one go.
You're playing in the deep end of the pool now.
I know how to keep track of a patient.
Hello, this is Dr.
Cole.
Leave a message.
Jason, where are you? Will, it's Jason.
Did you see Ian last night? Yeah, I did the bastard.
We got into a fight and he stole my van.
You know, I just wanted to give Ian a taste of his own medicine, you know? Listen to me very carefully.
He took Cole.
I need you to tell me exactly what happened.
I was waiting to hurt him for what he did to me.
You son of a bitch.
Thanks for the ride, Sybil.
You hit like a girl.
Jason, I'm I'm so sorry.
All right.
Is there anything in the van that he left behind, anything that could help us? No, there there's nothing.
He dumped everything My tools, - my materials, everything.
- Oh, come on! Will, is there nothing in the van, nothing at all that can help? There's nothing.
It's just copper pipes, site plans.
Site plans.
Where are they? Well, there are four of 'em.
I got 'em spread throughout the city.
Okay.
Where are they? Three of 'em are just frames.
The spring street's almost done.
Give me the address.
Now.
- Dr.
Jordan.
- Uh, yes.
Hi.
Dr.
Hosmer has been delayed in emergency surgery.
She asked me to extend her apologies.
She can meet with you later if that's okay.
Uh, sure.
Um, I would be happy to take you on a tour of the hospital while you wait.
Okay.
Let me guess.
You're one of her residents, and you drew the shortest straw.
Actually, I volunteered.
Everybody here knows what kind of work you're doing over at IMH.
Oh.
Besides, we've been without a chief for so long, it's nice to have someone like you in the building.
- Shall we go? - Yes.
Hey, Brandon.
You know the woman I saw yesterday, Rene, did you release her already? I'm just about to.
Why? Um, I wanna run a few more tests.
I want a head CT, an MRI, and an EEG.
Yesterday you said her neuro exam was normal.
It is.
But even with a normal neuro exam, you can miss some tumors or normal pressure hydrocephalus or Dr.
Solis, she's all better.
It was just food poisoning, like you said.
Of course it was.
Are you okay? Yeah.
Hello? Jason? Is this it? Yeah, 25 Spring Street.
Cole! - Cole! - Cole! Cole! Cole! Cole, where are ya? Cole! - Anything? - No.
- Cole! - Cole? Cole! - Cole! Cole! - Damn it.
Cole! He's not here, Jason.
He's gotta be here.
Yeah, well, he's not.
I - I thought he'd be here.
Yeah, I know what you thought, and now we have wasted all of this time.
We're gonna find him.
Oh, would you just stop saying that? This is this is all your fault.
And no one is to blame here, Olivia, all right? You provoked Ian to do this.
He took Cole because you were trying to get rid of him! I'm trying to protect you.
I'm trying to protect both of you, yes.
All you have done is put us in danger since coming back You're the one that let Ian back into your life.
I didn't make that decision.
That wasn't me.
If you were a real father, you would've - stayed the hell away! - I'm sorry! I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm calling the police.
Yeah, can you put me through to a police officer, please? My na - my name is Olivia Flynn.
My son is missing.
His name is Cole, and I need to find him.
Olivia! Olivia, there's a basement! Hey, Cole, can you hear us? Cole, Cole! Watch your back.
Ready? - Cole? - Cole! - Cole? - Mommy? Cole! Cole, are you okay? Cole, we're gonna get you out, okay? - Let me try.
- No, no, wait.
Cole, step away from the door, okay? Get back towards the wall, okay? Mommy.
Hey, honey.
Oh, are you okay? Are you okay? Oh, God.
I love you so much.
It's so good to see you.
Are you okay? Are you okay? Is daddy's game over? Yeah, honey.
Daddy's game's over.
- Olivia - We're leaving.
You can't know what flight we're on, where we're going, nothing.
- I understand.
- We're never coming back.
And you can never try and find us.
Just, can I say good-bye to him, please? You're just gonna confuse him.
Olivia, he's my son.
Quickly.
Hey, Cole.
Listen, buddy.
I just wanted to say that I'm really sorry for scaring you.
And I want you to know that that's never gonna happen again, okay? Because you and your mom, you're gonna go and live someplace safe.
But I want you to remember one thing.
You know how there are stars in the sky at night? Well, I'll be one of those stars.
Okay, so I'll be really, really far away, but I'll always be with you.
You think you can remember that? Okay.
Lena.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Guys, can we have a minute? They're ready in the O.
R.
It's okay.
Jason Ii'm gonna be fine, really.
I could've saved you all of this the surgery, the chemotherapy, I'm I'm sorry.
There's nothing you could've done, honestly.
Of course there was.
Y-your mood swings, your sudden lapse in memory it was a tumor, of course.
Any other patient, any other person, I would've thought clinically.
With you I missed this.
No, you didn't.
You didn't miss it.
You didn't miss anything.
Please, don't don't do this to yourself.
- I let you down.
- You didn't.
Lena, I'm gonna be fine, all right? I'm gonna come through this, and I'll be better than ever.
I'll be better.
Everything will be different.
Let's get this show on the road.
Listen to me.
I'm gonna make this up to you.
Okay.
I'm gonna be helping Jason with his recovery, so I need all of his MRIs.
Thank you for helping him.
Do you know where he keeps them? I might.
This has everything.
Thank you.
And I like to give all my department chairs the freedom to set their own agendas, and pursue their pasions.
I think that really brings out everyone's best.
Oh, I'm sure it does.
And call schedules? Evenly shared.
Everyone pulls their own weight.
I'm impressed.
I mean, it's certainly a lot different from IMH.
And I think I could really shine here.
Uh, well, I'm glad to hear that.
So have we got a match? Ken, I'm very glad to meet you.
You are a rising star, and we would be lucky to have you here.
Unfortunately, we just don't have an opening right now.
Excuse me? But we will absolutely keep you in mind for the future.
Well what about the department chair? That position's filled.
We're just finishing up the paperwork.
Charmelo knew that.
Okay, let's, uh, let's begin the preoperative checklist.
I'm Dr.
Philip Charmelo.
Stop writing.
There will be no record of what we're doing here today.
We're operating today on Jason Cole to place a neurotransmitter in his brain.
Once implanted, this chip will block the pathway to an abhorrent personality disorder.
Is everyone in agreement? Yes.
You ready, my friend? Yeah, ready.
Okay.
Jason Cole.
Last week.
Where's the tumor? I.
P.
? Ian Price.
All right, Jason, I want you to count backwards from ten.
Ten, nine, eight, seven six five Time for cake, everyone.
Everyone inside for cake.
Look, there he is.
Here he comes Comes the big boy.
Happy Birthday, kiddo.
Are you having a good time? Hi! Something for the birthday boy? I don't wanna die.
Uh, you know what you need? A crown.
I don't want a crown.
What would you like? Cake.
Time for cake, everyone.
Where's Jason? I'm here.
Right here.
Okay.
Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday, Jason and Ian Happy Birthday to you We were brothers.
We were brothers.
Ian Price.
Uh, Dr.
Charmelo, hello.
I was told you're interested in a former patient of mine, an Ian Price.
I have a son.
Olivia won't let me see him again, not while Ian's around.
What's your name? - Cole.
- Be careful.
Monkeys have been known to eat their young.
A surgically implanted electrode you know, like flipping a switch.
Yeah, it could work.
Dr.
Cole? Josh, hey, listen.
You don't have to call me Dr.
Cole anymore.
It's Jason, okay? Oh, I don't think I could do that.
Well, you don't work for me anymore, so Well, not technically, but still there's a level of professionalism and decorum that one should Okay, you win.
You call me whatever you want.
- Thanks, Dr.
Cole.
- You got it.
What's going on? I was hoping to get your signature on something.
Mmhmm.
It's a letter of recommendation.
Right, right.
I feel awful even asking.
It's like I'm cheating on you, but the best Doctor Young could do is put me back in the temp pool until I get a new boss.
And you will someone great, all right? Someone a lot easier than me.
Let's have a look.
You know what? I'll just put this on your stick drive.
You don't even have to read it.
Josh Josh, let me see it.
"Josh Stern has been my irreplaceable right-hand man for the last five years.
He has served with distinction, unimpeachable loyalty, and with the true honor worthy of the title assistant.
" I could tone it down It's perfect.
- Thanks, Dr.
Cole.
- You got it.
I'll clean out your office today.
No need, Josh.
You've done enough for me already for a lifetime.
People are gonna wanna know what happened here.
I'm not sugarcoating any of it.
I understand.
I don't.
Jason, why? You had everything going for you, - everything you wanted.
- I know - Vanessa, I know.
I - But, Jason Sorry.
I'm just feeling a little I need a code cart in here! Vanessa.
Jason, just lie still.
Vanessa, this really isn't necessary.
All right, I had a dizzy spell.
It's nothing.
I-I feel fine.
Just lie still.
Come on, Vanessa, I'm okay, really.
Jason, for once listen to me, okay? Yes, ma'am.
Okay.
That brain stem looks good.
Which part of his brain do you think will light up? The scotch lobe or the vodka gyrus? This This is not from drinking.
Well, it's a, uh It's a solitary lesion.
It's a tumor.
It's cancer.
I am so sorry.
This can't be happening.
Um We'll put our best people on it.
The whole hospital will Please, Vanessa.
I don't think I can handle everyone's sympathy right now, so Yeah, but people need to know, Jason.
It explains your erratic behavior.
The outbursts, the lies it wasn't you.
It was it was this.
Please, not yet, okay? Well, it's a, uh, low-grade glioma.
No metastases.
Right.
So there's a shot at a cure.
Well, sure, but look at the surrounding structures.
One false move wipes out impulse control, personality - Ken.
- He's right.
Vanessa, he's right.
It's tricky.
Yeah, but not impossible.
I can get it, Jason.
I won't let you down.
Thanks, Ken.
But if anyone's gonna operate, I, uh I'd like it to be Philip Charmelo.
Charmelo? Here? Yeah, he's my mentor.
He's the best in the world.
But Jason, this tumor can't wait.
Do you think Charmelo's gonna drop everything, fly in here for your surgery? I think he might.
So? So You wanna tell me whose brain this really is? Bob Marley.
- Bob Marley? - Sad case.
By the time they called me in, there wasn't much I could do.
So did our plan work? They bought it everything.
Do No Harm 01x12 You Made Me Do This Originally Aired August 31, 2013 All right, so here's the MRI we faked.
This is a FMRI of my brain.
Obviously the blue area represents my brain activity.
And this is an FMRI of Ian's activity.
Different areas are working.
One brain, two distinct sets of wiring, except for one spot.
Now here's an overlay of both images on top of each other.
See that? That's the switch.
- That's where you become Ian.
- Exactly.
So tomorrow in the O.
R.
Instead of taking out the tumor I don't have, you are gonna place this chip directly on that switch Keep Ian from coming, hopefully for good.
I've gotta hand it to you, Jason.
Brilliant work.
Well, you taught me everything I know.
Plus, I had a little help from a friend.
It's incredible.
Thanks.
It's a shame all this technology came along so late in my career.
No telling what I could've done with it.
Still, we're making history.
Yeah, I just wish I didn't have to lie to everyone to do it.
Jason, you've been lying to them for years.
Think of this as the end of lying.
I know, but Phil, to do this surgery here these are people that know me, care about me.
It just seems like added risk.
Surgery takes days of prep.
If Ian wakes up in Minneapolis or Singapore or Istanbul, he'll be suspicious.
There's no telling what he might do.
So we're stuck with brain cancer, here.
Come on.
Vanessa, Ken, good morning.
Good morning.
Vanessa, you wear success well.
You are kind.
I think you used another word to describe me when I made a response to your neurosurge presentation in Sydney.
Well it was all in good fun.
It's truly an honor to have you here at IMH.
Jason means a great deal to us.
Something we all have in common.
Indeed.
That's why I've made all of our resources available to you our surgical suites, our staff.
Thank you, but that won't be necessary.
My full team is flying in, even as we speak.
Well, now that's something that won't be necessary.
Our neurosurgical team is among the best in the world, including our acting chief Ken Jordan here.
We actually spoke last week.
It's a pleasure to meet you in person.
Likewise.
It'd be an honor to be your first in the O.
R.
Nothing against you or your team, but my work requires a kind of precision that only comes from years of familiarity.
We're like a NASCAR pit crew, if you will.
Well, nothing against you and your team, but IMH is not rent-a-center.
And I am not just any surgeon.
This is my hospital and my rules.
Vanessa, uh, this might be my only shot at this.
That's why Philip's here.
So if it would make him more comfortable, let's let him have his team in the room.
Please, for me.
You want your own scrub nurse, your own anesthesiologist, so be it.
But Dr.
Jordan will assist.
Of course.
You're quite right.
Dr.
Jordan, as acting chief, I was wrong to exclude you.
You should be there, right by my side.
I'm sorry.
But what, are you gonna ask him to look away while you plant the chip? Jordan won't be in the O.
R.
, trust me.
Yeah, but you don't understand what he's like.
I know exactly what Dr.
Jordan's like.
There's a Jordan in every program.
I'll take care of him.
You just worry about Ian.
Well, he shouldn't be much of a problem.
And to what do we owe that pleasure? Well, he thinks he's won, so Perfect.
Let him keep thinking that.
- Dr.
Cole.
- Josh.
Uh, Philip, I Sure.
I just heard.
Oh.
Um How did you hear? Really? Do you even know me? Josh, listen.
I need you to promise me that you're not gonna tell anyone, okay? Promise me.
People need to know, people that care about you.
This is the last secret I'm ever gonna ask you to keep.
Please.
Okay.
Dr.
Charmelo? I, uh I just wanted to reassure you, I'll hold my own on the team.
I'm sure you will.
You're obviously an excellent surgeon.
Excuse me.
Do you have a package for Dr.
Charmelo? Uh, let me check.
I, uh, read your paper in the archives last month.
I didn't know anyone read those things.
I do.
But who cares who reads it? You wrote it.
It got published.
Find your swagger, Ken.
- You're the acting chief.
- Right, right, "Acting.
" Young likes to make a big deal out of that.
Yeah, well, Jason's her star.
Well, yeah.
Jason will be back in a few months, and then I'll be back to being attending.
Is that what you want? Well, what choice do I have? Vanessa would be livid that I even mentioned it, but my old hospital is looking for a Chief of Neurosurgery.
I'm sorry.
Did you say Charmelo? Yes, I did.
Dr.
Philip Charmelo.
- Twin Cities Memorial? - Yep.
I hired the person who's doing the search.
It's ending tomorrow.
And they still haven't found anyone they like yet.
Say, w-why don't you meet with her tomorrow? Oh what do you have to lose? I'd miss Jason's surgery.
So? It's an operation you've seen a hundred times Whereas this is the opportunity of a lifetime.
- Here you go, doctor.
- Thank you.
Your choice, of course.
How have you been feeling? I feel awful, like I wanna throw up all the time.
Mmhmm.
Well, the good news is that your brain and nervous system are fine.
It's probably just something you ate.
Okay.
And I'm sure as soon as you can keep some food down, Dr.
Kimura is gonna let you go home.
- How is she? - Um, she's fine.
Why did you even ask me to see her? It's clear there's nothing wrong neurologically.
With Dr.
Cole gone, I-I guess I didn't wanna make any mistakes.
You won't.
But no more food poisoning consults, huh? I need to talk to you.
Okay.
Except I shouldn't be talking to you.
Okay.
There are things that I've done and secrets that I've kept that I now realize I shouldn't have.
And by hiding them, I think I may have actually made things worse.
Josh, I have no idea what you're talking about.
I think you do.
No, I don't.
Dr.
Cole.
- He's sick.
- What? I hate to betray him, but I just feel like if I didn't have to keep so many secrets, it wouldn't have come to this.
Come to what, Josh? Dr.
Cole collapsed in his office.
They did a scan.
He has a brain tumor.
They're gonna operate tomorrow.
Big party Joe, it's Ian.
Listen, I need girls and I need 'em here fast.
How many can be here in the next, say, 20 minutes? Wow.
That was quick.
I'll call you back.
Whoa, Lena.
I'm so sorry.
What can I do? Um, exactly what you're doing, actually.
Listen.
With everything that's gone on between us, I understand why you didn't tell me, and I am not upset.
Well, that's a relief.
I know it's gotta be hard to even think about, but if there's anything I can do, you tell me, okay? Well, I-I can think of a few things.
- Jas - No? Not what you had in mind? Okay.
No, I just I-I didn't know what to expect.
You know, if you wanna be alone or No, no, definitely not.
I just had to come over, as soon as I heard.
Mmhmm.
Heard what? What exactly did you hear? You know, that you were scared.
- I am so scared - Overwhelmed.
And overwhelmed, like you wouldn't believe.
I'm gonna be here for you.
I was hoping you'd say that.
After the surgery, we're gonna know a lot more.
- Mm, the surgery.
- And by this time tomorrow, we'll have biopsied the tumor.
Mm, the tumor.
I'm gonna be in charge of your recovery, and we're gonna do this together.
You know what, Lena? I'm sorry.
I, uh, was wrong.
I think I might need to be alone, actually.
Jason, just so you know, you made me do this.
Minneapolis.
Charmelo's old hospital? Opportunity knocks at odd times.
You realize how disrespectful this is to Jason and to me to press this issue at this time? The search for chief ends tomorrow.
Your career has a high ceiling here at IMH.
Then take the "Acting" off my title.
I can't do that.
What, because Jason's coming back? Assuming that he makes a full recovery, yes.
What, so I'm just a placeholder? Don't take advantage of Jason's illness.
I can't put my career on hold until it's convenient for Jason.
Then think of IMH.
All I do is think about this hospital.
I live for this hospital.
Make me chief, Vanessa.
I'm just as good as Jason.
And nobody ever gives me a chance to prove it.
Give me a chance.
I can't do that, Ken.
I'm out tomorrow.
Hey, Cole.
Wake up, Cole.
- Wake up.
- Daddy? Shh.
Are you here to read me a story? No, reading's boring.
Daddy's got another plan.
What is it? Well, I don't wanna ruin the surprise.
But we can't let your mommy hear us.
Okay? Shh.
Exactly.
It'll be our little secret.
Okay? All right, come on.
Excuse me, are you Dr.
Philip Charmelo? Even if I wasn't, for you, I'd say I was.
I know about the surgery.
I wanna help with Jason's recovery.
As you can see, the mass is deep within the prefrontal cortex Damn.
Just above the temporal lobe, but medially impinging on the limbic system.
What's the maximal diameter? 3.
55 centimeters.
Something that big didn't get there overnight.
No.
No, it's clearly slow-growing.
It would've been there for quite some time Months, years even.
So Jason was getting sicker and sicker, and I missed it? I hope to minimize permanent losses by using a transcortical approach Incision just above the left ear.
It gives me a broad surgical field.
Is mommy coming? Cole, you'll understand when you're older, but sometimes you've gotta do things that you don't wanna do, like eating your vegetables.
Unless you like eating vegetables.
You like eating vegetables? I take that as a no.
You know, someone's forcing me to do something that I don't wanna do.
But Cole, I want you to understand, it's not your fault.
Okay? None of this is your fault.
Someone backs you into a corner, you've gotta fight back.
You must always fight back.
All right? Can I have some more whipped cream? Yeah, as much as you want.
Cole? Cole? Cole? Cole? Cole! - What took you so long? - Where is he? You know I can't tell you that.
- Where is he? - He's safe.
That's all you need to know right now.
Why are you doing this? Well, it seems you and Jason have left me no other choice.
He is just a little boy.
- He's our little boy.
- Really? Is that why you let Jason come over and read stories to him? Play happy little family with him? It's not what you think.
I trusted you, and you betrayed me.
- I didn't betray you.
- I trusted you! - And you betrayed me.
- No! You've just gotta tell me where he is.
I can't do that.
Cole's my insurance policy.
He is my son! And I'm the only one who knows where he is.
So here's the deal.
If Jason goes through with this surgery, if he successfully cuts me out, if I'm gone then you will never - see Cole again.
- No.
No.
No, you stay with me.
No, where is he? Ian! No, you stay with me! Ian, where is he? Oh, God! Damn it! Olivia.
Ian took Cole! We're ready, Philip.
We'll find Cole, all right? We'll find him.
I have to call the police.
No, you can't call the police.
They'll come here.
They'll arrest me.
We'll lose our best chance at finding him.
Well, what else can I do, Jason? Cole is out there somewhere, alone and scared and maybe hurt.
I'll find him, all right? I'll do whatever it takes.
- I'm gonna find him.
- What are you gonna do? You can't remember anything that Ian did.
Yeah, but I was there, right? Wherever Cole is, I was there.
So there's gotta be something.
Some keys or A receipt, matches, something.
These are Will's.
He was here.
Who's Will? I thought you'd started already.
Jason's running a little late.
He's not here? Mmmm.
Not yet.
Do you know where he is? He'll be here.
Suppose he's collapsed again.
Suppose he's passed out somewhere.
Vanessa, you run a nice little hospital here, but let this one go.
You're playing in the deep end of the pool now.
I know how to keep track of a patient.
Hello, this is Dr.
Cole.
Leave a message.
Jason, where are you? Will, it's Jason.
Did you see Ian last night? Yeah, I did the bastard.
We got into a fight and he stole my van.
You know, I just wanted to give Ian a taste of his own medicine, you know? Listen to me very carefully.
He took Cole.
I need you to tell me exactly what happened.
I was waiting to hurt him for what he did to me.
You son of a bitch.
Thanks for the ride, Sybil.
You hit like a girl.
Jason, I'm I'm so sorry.
All right.
Is there anything in the van that he left behind, anything that could help us? No, there there's nothing.
He dumped everything My tools, - my materials, everything.
- Oh, come on! Will, is there nothing in the van, nothing at all that can help? There's nothing.
It's just copper pipes, site plans.
Site plans.
Where are they? Well, there are four of 'em.
I got 'em spread throughout the city.
Okay.
Where are they? Three of 'em are just frames.
The spring street's almost done.
Give me the address.
Now.
- Dr.
Jordan.
- Uh, yes.
Hi.
Dr.
Hosmer has been delayed in emergency surgery.
She asked me to extend her apologies.
She can meet with you later if that's okay.
Uh, sure.
Um, I would be happy to take you on a tour of the hospital while you wait.
Okay.
Let me guess.
You're one of her residents, and you drew the shortest straw.
Actually, I volunteered.
Everybody here knows what kind of work you're doing over at IMH.
Oh.
Besides, we've been without a chief for so long, it's nice to have someone like you in the building.
- Shall we go? - Yes.
Hey, Brandon.
You know the woman I saw yesterday, Rene, did you release her already? I'm just about to.
Why? Um, I wanna run a few more tests.
I want a head CT, an MRI, and an EEG.
Yesterday you said her neuro exam was normal.
It is.
But even with a normal neuro exam, you can miss some tumors or normal pressure hydrocephalus or Dr.
Solis, she's all better.
It was just food poisoning, like you said.
Of course it was.
Are you okay? Yeah.
Hello? Jason? Is this it? Yeah, 25 Spring Street.
Cole! - Cole! - Cole! Cole! Cole! Cole, where are ya? Cole! - Anything? - No.
- Cole! - Cole? Cole! - Cole! Cole! - Damn it.
Cole! He's not here, Jason.
He's gotta be here.
Yeah, well, he's not.
I - I thought he'd be here.
Yeah, I know what you thought, and now we have wasted all of this time.
We're gonna find him.
Oh, would you just stop saying that? This is this is all your fault.
And no one is to blame here, Olivia, all right? You provoked Ian to do this.
He took Cole because you were trying to get rid of him! I'm trying to protect you.
I'm trying to protect both of you, yes.
All you have done is put us in danger since coming back You're the one that let Ian back into your life.
I didn't make that decision.
That wasn't me.
If you were a real father, you would've - stayed the hell away! - I'm sorry! I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm calling the police.
Yeah, can you put me through to a police officer, please? My na - my name is Olivia Flynn.
My son is missing.
His name is Cole, and I need to find him.
Olivia! Olivia, there's a basement! Hey, Cole, can you hear us? Cole, Cole! Watch your back.
Ready? - Cole? - Cole! - Cole? - Mommy? Cole! Cole, are you okay? Cole, we're gonna get you out, okay? - Let me try.
- No, no, wait.
Cole, step away from the door, okay? Get back towards the wall, okay? Mommy.
Hey, honey.
Oh, are you okay? Are you okay? Oh, God.
I love you so much.
It's so good to see you.
Are you okay? Are you okay? Is daddy's game over? Yeah, honey.
Daddy's game's over.
- Olivia - We're leaving.
You can't know what flight we're on, where we're going, nothing.
- I understand.
- We're never coming back.
And you can never try and find us.
Just, can I say good-bye to him, please? You're just gonna confuse him.
Olivia, he's my son.
Quickly.
Hey, Cole.
Listen, buddy.
I just wanted to say that I'm really sorry for scaring you.
And I want you to know that that's never gonna happen again, okay? Because you and your mom, you're gonna go and live someplace safe.
But I want you to remember one thing.
You know how there are stars in the sky at night? Well, I'll be one of those stars.
Okay, so I'll be really, really far away, but I'll always be with you.
You think you can remember that? Okay.
Lena.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Guys, can we have a minute? They're ready in the O.
R.
It's okay.
Jason Ii'm gonna be fine, really.
I could've saved you all of this the surgery, the chemotherapy, I'm I'm sorry.
There's nothing you could've done, honestly.
Of course there was.
Y-your mood swings, your sudden lapse in memory it was a tumor, of course.
Any other patient, any other person, I would've thought clinically.
With you I missed this.
No, you didn't.
You didn't miss it.
You didn't miss anything.
Please, don't don't do this to yourself.
- I let you down.
- You didn't.
Lena, I'm gonna be fine, all right? I'm gonna come through this, and I'll be better than ever.
I'll be better.
Everything will be different.
Let's get this show on the road.
Listen to me.
I'm gonna make this up to you.
Okay.
I'm gonna be helping Jason with his recovery, so I need all of his MRIs.
Thank you for helping him.
Do you know where he keeps them? I might.
This has everything.
Thank you.
And I like to give all my department chairs the freedom to set their own agendas, and pursue their pasions.
I think that really brings out everyone's best.
Oh, I'm sure it does.
And call schedules? Evenly shared.
Everyone pulls their own weight.
I'm impressed.
I mean, it's certainly a lot different from IMH.
And I think I could really shine here.
Uh, well, I'm glad to hear that.
So have we got a match? Ken, I'm very glad to meet you.
You are a rising star, and we would be lucky to have you here.
Unfortunately, we just don't have an opening right now.
Excuse me? But we will absolutely keep you in mind for the future.
Well what about the department chair? That position's filled.
We're just finishing up the paperwork.
Charmelo knew that.
Okay, let's, uh, let's begin the preoperative checklist.
I'm Dr.
Philip Charmelo.
Stop writing.
There will be no record of what we're doing here today.
We're operating today on Jason Cole to place a neurotransmitter in his brain.
Once implanted, this chip will block the pathway to an abhorrent personality disorder.
Is everyone in agreement? Yes.
You ready, my friend? Yeah, ready.
Okay.
Jason Cole.
Last week.
Where's the tumor? I.
P.
? Ian Price.
All right, Jason, I want you to count backwards from ten.
Ten, nine, eight, seven six five Time for cake, everyone.
Everyone inside for cake.
Look, there he is.
Here he comes Comes the big boy.
Happy Birthday, kiddo.
Are you having a good time? Hi! Something for the birthday boy? I don't wanna die.
Uh, you know what you need? A crown.
I don't want a crown.
What would you like? Cake.
Time for cake, everyone.
Where's Jason? I'm here.
Right here.
Okay.
Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday, Jason and Ian Happy Birthday to you We were brothers.
We were brothers.
