Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:28,020 --> 00:00:30,330
Look, I had my pick of hospitals,
2
00:00:30,350 --> 00:00:32,883
and not just in Texas...
around the country.
3
00:00:32,900 --> 00:00:34,409
Around the world, if we're being honest.
4
00:00:34,410 --> 00:00:36,504
- I'm talking about top spinal centers.
- _
5
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,700
But the reason I chose UGH
6
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,223
is because I believe in building
something from the ground up
7
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,080
and really entrenching the culture
8
00:00:44,100 --> 00:00:47,260
into the DNA of the hospital,
make sure that every doctor
9
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:48,459
that walks through those doors after me
10
00:00:48,460 --> 00:00:50,100
knows how to do things the proper way,
11
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,651
'cause I'm gonna change how
we do surgery here in Texas,
12
00:00:52,670 --> 00:00:54,064
bring it into the 21st century.
13
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,151
Rolling out the red carpet for this guy,
14
00:00:56,170 --> 00:00:57,484
offering him heaven and Earth.
15
00:00:57,500 --> 00:00:59,288
Doesn't make any sense.
16
00:00:59,300 --> 00:01:02,113
So what's the plan to deal with
this human hot air balloon?
17
00:01:02,130 --> 00:01:03,363
It's incubating.
18
00:01:03,380 --> 00:01:05,831
Well, we're off to a rollicking start.
19
00:01:05,850 --> 00:01:08,833
I ever tell you the broken arm
story I heard in Landstuhl?
20
00:01:08,850 --> 00:01:10,463
No, and I don't want to hear it now.
21
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,620
It was right after
Operation Phantom Fury.
22
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,254
The Marines got this guy,
Abdul something-or-other.
23
00:01:15,270 --> 00:01:17,409
He and his men had been
leading these guerrilla attacks
24
00:01:17,410 --> 00:01:19,464
in Afghanistan, took out
a bunch of Humvees.
25
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,300
He's interrogated, doesn't say a word.
26
00:01:21,320 --> 00:01:23,519
They must have had him five, six days.
27
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,120
They get these orders to release him.
28
00:01:25,140 --> 00:01:26,520
Everybody knows he's the bastard
29
00:01:26,540 --> 00:01:28,459
who's been attacking 'em,
but now they gotta let him go.
30
00:01:28,460 --> 00:01:29,891
So you know what they did?
31
00:01:29,910 --> 00:01:32,521
They broke both arms in
four different places,
32
00:01:32,540 --> 00:01:34,000
wrapped him up, sent him on his way.
33
00:01:34,020 --> 00:01:35,079
Never heard from him again.
34
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,580
So you're saying that we
should break Duntsch's arms?
35
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:38,820
Abso-fuckin'-lutely.
36
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,996
Before it was his hands,
and now it's his arms?
37
00:01:41,010 --> 00:01:42,451
I'll settle for his fingers.
38
00:01:42,470 --> 00:01:44,114
Oh, my God.
39
00:01:44,130 --> 00:01:46,750
Feel free to share your
nuggets of brilliance.
40
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,160
There's Sasani.
41
00:01:50,180 --> 00:01:51,800
We should go and talk to him.
42
00:01:51,820 --> 00:01:54,123
Discuss our way to justice?
43
00:01:54,140 --> 00:01:56,001
Sexy plan, per usual.
44
00:01:56,020 --> 00:01:58,760
I'm more than happy
to do this on my own.
45
00:01:59,500 --> 00:02:00,520
Lead the way.
46
00:02:00,540 --> 00:02:02,270
A city with a thriving
medical community.
47
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,120
But in looking around, UG
wanted to find a niche,
48
00:02:05,140 --> 00:02:06,349
areas where we could specialize,
49
00:02:06,350 --> 00:02:08,459
provide quality health care for
those who don't have millions...
50
00:02:08,460 --> 00:02:09,720
Congratulations, bud.
51
00:02:09,740 --> 00:02:12,278
You wanted a neurosurgeon,
you hired a Neanderthal.
52
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,180
This is Dr. Randall Kirby.
53
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:16,369
We were in med school together.
54
00:02:16,370 --> 00:02:18,460
- Mm.
- Been a kidder all his life.
55
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,640
- Ever the kidder.
- Now may we talk in private?
56
00:02:20,660 --> 00:02:21,839
Well, we want to stick around,
57
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,904
sing like canaries so
everybody can hear.
58
00:02:23,920 --> 00:02:25,573
La-la-la-la-la!
59
00:02:25,590 --> 00:02:26,991
Please come with me.
60
00:02:27,010 --> 00:02:29,980
Dr. Kirby, would you grab
me a cocktail, a margarita,
61
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,500
spicy, with one of those
little umbrellas in it?
62
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,173
So I take it you heard about Duntsch.
63
00:02:35,190 --> 00:02:37,503
I've only heard good things.
64
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,420
I've got X-rays of his handiwork
65
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:40,480
in the trunk of my car.
66
00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:42,843
I could pass them out
as party favors here.
67
00:02:42,860 --> 00:02:44,640
Thought you were supposed
to be the nice one.
68
00:02:44,660 --> 00:02:46,011
That's funny.
69
00:02:46,030 --> 00:02:47,973
He received a clean letter from Baylor.
70
00:02:47,990 --> 00:02:50,380
There was no negative
reports from Dallas Medical,
71
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,259
nothing in the National
Practitioner's Data Bank.
72
00:02:52,260 --> 00:02:55,180
- You've got to fire him.
- On what grounds?
73
00:02:55,210 --> 00:02:57,960
Whatever grounds you come up with.
74
00:02:57,980 --> 00:03:00,273
UGH isn't Baylor-Plano.
75
00:03:00,290 --> 00:03:03,360
We don't have investors
lined up at the door.
76
00:03:03,380 --> 00:03:05,720
Hate to be crass, but
the average neurosurgeon
77
00:03:05,740 --> 00:03:08,700
is worth $2.4 million in revenue.
78
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,663
Our entire mission is to
provide affordable health care
79
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,550
to low-income patients
who've been turned away
80
00:03:13,570 --> 00:03:14,919
by every other hospital in the city.
81
00:03:14,920 --> 00:03:16,800
Duntsch is not the only game in town.
82
00:03:16,820 --> 00:03:18,280
I just hired him.
83
00:03:18,300 --> 00:03:21,170
If I fire him without incident,
I'll be facing a lawsuit.
84
00:03:21,180 --> 00:03:25,720
So morality equals,
what, dollars and cents?
85
00:03:25,740 --> 00:03:27,779
If you've got some kind of
personal vendetta against him,
86
00:03:27,780 --> 00:03:30,723
that's your matter, not mine.
87
00:03:30,740 --> 00:03:32,279
And you'd better be
prepared to be called
88
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,850
the surgeon that turns
against his colleagues.
89
00:03:34,870 --> 00:03:38,564
Now, I would have expected that
kind of behavior from Kirby,
90
00:03:38,580 --> 00:03:41,441
but not from someone of your stature.
91
00:03:53,620 --> 00:03:58,240
_
92
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,260
- Oh!
- Oh, I'm so sorry.
93
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:06,973
Oh.
94
00:04:06,990 --> 00:04:08,100
So...
95
00:04:09,330 --> 00:04:12,022
so was he fired or was
he allowed to resign?
96
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,643
That's confidential, Dr. Henderson.
97
00:04:14,660 --> 00:04:16,773
Your hospital did not report him
98
00:04:16,790 --> 00:04:18,180
to the Texas Medical Board.
99
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:19,920
You did not report him to the Data Bank.
100
00:04:19,950 --> 00:04:22,000
He had temporary privileges.
101
00:04:22,020 --> 00:04:24,274
So you weren't required to.
102
00:04:24,290 --> 00:04:27,280
You called me to perform the
revision surgery on Mrs. Beyer.
103
00:04:27,300 --> 00:04:29,360
- Yes, I did.
- So you saw firsthand
104
00:04:29,380 --> 00:04:31,420
what he did to her, what
he did to Dorothy Burke.
105
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,880
And after all that, Dallas
Medical let him walk away.
106
00:04:33,900 --> 00:04:35,680
They were untoward outcomes,
107
00:04:35,700 --> 00:04:37,139
and we did what we thought was best.
108
00:04:37,140 --> 00:04:39,331
Except for the patients.
109
00:04:39,350 --> 00:04:43,304
Every neurosurgeon makes
mistakes, Dr. Henderson.
110
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,730
Have you had complications
in your career?
111
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,093
Someday the untoward
outcome could be your own.
112
00:04:50,110 --> 00:04:51,660
And you wouldn't want a rogue doctor
113
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,730
breaking up your welcome party.
114
00:05:01,590 --> 00:05:04,158
I'll have a shot of whatever's
closest to your hand.
115
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,170
I think I figured it out.
116
00:05:17,150 --> 00:05:19,460
You wanted him under
an exclusive contract
117
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,040
with your hospital.
118
00:05:21,060 --> 00:05:22,260
Someone like Duntsch,
119
00:05:22,270 --> 00:05:23,730
from a program like Semmes-Murphey,
120
00:05:23,750 --> 00:05:26,294
he's the perfect target.
Not only is he marketable,
121
00:05:26,310 --> 00:05:29,260
but Baylor makes a profit off
of every procedure he performs.
122
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:32,180
So if the hospital makes
significantly more money
123
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:33,919
from the ones it owns as
opposed to the doctors
124
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,100
who only have privileges,
125
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,683
then it is about the goddamn
bottom line in the end, am I right?
126
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:49,078
_
127
00:05:53,140 --> 00:05:56,400
- Got a minute?
- Oh, yes, sir. Please. Sit.
128
00:05:56,420 --> 00:05:58,580
You told me you were going to stop him.
129
00:06:00,610 --> 00:06:01,704
What are you doing here?
130
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:02,939
They're throwing a party for him.
131
00:06:02,940 --> 00:06:05,040
Well, I know you're
frustrated, and so am I,
132
00:06:05,060 --> 00:06:06,463
but I've got it under control.
133
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:07,883
Under control? How, exactly?
134
00:06:07,900 --> 00:06:09,780
- There's a process.
- What process?
135
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,120
Mrs. Beyer could have died.
136
00:06:11,140 --> 00:06:12,760
Dorothy Burke did, she died.
137
00:06:12,780 --> 00:06:14,899
And how about that hole in
Elaine Johnson's esophagus?
138
00:06:14,900 --> 00:06:17,260
Hey, whatever it is you think
you're gonna accomplish today,
139
00:06:17,270 --> 00:06:18,559
I guarantee you it's not gonna work.
140
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,934
I've used every tool in this system
available to me to stop him.
141
00:06:21,950 --> 00:06:24,143
I contacted the Medical Board.
142
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,691
I filed a report. I talked with Skadden.
143
00:06:26,710 --> 00:06:28,693
And you've accomplished nothing, Robert.
144
00:06:28,710 --> 00:06:30,480
All of the mechanisms that are in place
145
00:06:30,500 --> 00:06:31,819
to deal with these problems have failed.
146
00:06:31,820 --> 00:06:33,160
Your system has failed.
147
00:06:33,180 --> 00:06:34,460
I've always respected you.
148
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,450
I thought you were a man
of high moral standing,
149
00:06:36,460 --> 00:06:39,020
but you're just another
spoke in the wheel.
150
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,400
Do I know you?
151
00:07:14,220 --> 00:07:15,680
We never met.
152
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,125
Hmm.
153
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,540
You look so familiar.
154
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,620
Just one of those faces, I guess.
155
00:07:29,620 --> 00:07:30,840
I know you.
156
00:07:31,900 --> 00:07:35,380
Well, I am the man of the hour.
157
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,061
Mind passing me a towel?
I'm out over here.
158
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:53,702
Dr. Christopher Duntsch.
159
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:55,650
Robert Henderson.
160
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,533
Robert Henderson.
161
00:08:02,050 --> 00:08:04,129
Robert Henderson.
162
00:08:10,690 --> 00:08:14,556
You're the one who turned me
in to the Texas Medical Board.
163
00:08:15,830 --> 00:08:17,351
I am.
164
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,813
You came for me, and I'm still here.
165
00:08:23,830 --> 00:08:25,523
Why is that?
166
00:08:25,540 --> 00:08:28,040
Well, I can't figure out if
you're just incompetent
167
00:08:28,060 --> 00:08:29,520
or you're doing all this on purpose,
168
00:08:29,540 --> 00:08:30,960
and that makes you insane.
169
00:08:32,380 --> 00:08:35,984
Did you know that people
used to say that Nikola Tesla
170
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,860
was possessed by demons?
171
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,074
Regular folk had to come
up with a negative label
172
00:08:41,090 --> 00:08:44,201
'cause they just couldn't
comprehend his genius.
173
00:08:44,220 --> 00:08:45,759
I've gone over all of your cases,
174
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,174
and I don't see any
signs of genius at all.
175
00:08:49,190 --> 00:08:51,850
That's because you're
staring into the sun.
176
00:08:53,420 --> 00:08:55,710
My surgeries were perfect.
177
00:08:55,730 --> 00:08:58,040
Every one.
178
00:08:58,060 --> 00:09:03,053
Now, circulating nurses, X-ray techs,
179
00:09:03,070 --> 00:09:08,391
administrators, they can
all be so distracting.
180
00:09:08,410 --> 00:09:11,180
We've all had complications, right?
181
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,720
Even you, Robert.
182
00:09:13,740 --> 00:09:16,535
Woodland Arp comes to mind, doesn't he?
183
00:09:19,170 --> 00:09:20,998
It's all so human, isn't it?
184
00:09:21,010 --> 00:09:24,320
You look at someone like me,
185
00:09:24,350 --> 00:09:28,751
someone younger, smarter,
186
00:09:28,770 --> 00:09:31,383
more capable,
187
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,320
just filling up all the spaces,
188
00:09:34,350 --> 00:09:37,180
sucking up all the oxygen.
189
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,013
And then there's you.
190
00:09:40,030 --> 00:09:44,393
Tired, old, weak.
191
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,603
I'm gonna revoke your medical license.
192
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:56,408
Well, shit. You can try.
193
00:09:56,420 --> 00:09:57,880
Maybe you'll even succeed.
194
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:00,820
But if you take my license in Texas,
195
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,573
there's still 49 other states.
196
00:10:02,590 --> 00:10:05,241
Hell, there's an entire world out there.
197
00:10:05,260 --> 00:10:07,260
And everybody's looking
for a good surgeon
198
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:08,620
with good credentials.
199
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,920
But if you come for me,
200
00:10:12,940 --> 00:10:16,820
you better be ready for
what I'm gonna do to you.
201
00:10:16,850 --> 00:10:19,220
I will take your money.
202
00:10:19,250 --> 00:10:21,801
I will take your career.
203
00:10:21,820 --> 00:10:26,344
I will take what little
reputation you've ever had.
204
00:10:28,870 --> 00:10:30,320
You want to hit me?
205
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,240
Go ahead, Robert.
206
00:10:34,270 --> 00:10:36,023
I'm right here.
207
00:10:38,130 --> 00:10:39,826
That's what I thought. You don't...
208
00:11:09,710 --> 00:11:11,020
Hey!
209
00:11:11,050 --> 00:11:13,039
If you need a plunger,
there's one under the sink.
210
00:11:15,370 --> 00:11:17,114
We're not going to
Duntsch's welcome party.
211
00:11:17,130 --> 00:11:18,540
Come on, you gotta be shitting me.
212
00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:20,920
- What the hell happened in here?
- It's not gonna work.
213
00:11:20,940 --> 00:11:23,491
We've exhausted every possibility.
214
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:26,403
So what do you wanna do?
215
00:11:26,420 --> 00:11:27,679
You wanna roll over on your back,
216
00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:29,500
put your little paws up in the air?
217

00:12:14,940 --> 00:12:17,280
_
219
00:12:19,940 --> 00:12:22,420
- Afternoon.
- Good afternoon, Doctor.
220
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,060
Everyone in here today get a
chance to meet Dr. Duntsch?
221
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,359
- Welcome, Dr. Duntsch.
- I just wanna say how thankful I am
222
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:31,140
to have each and every
one of you on my team.
223
00:12:33,540 --> 00:12:38,195
Today, we're gonna do a
TLIF at the L4-L5 level.
224
00:12:38,210 --> 00:12:39,549
It's gonna be challenging
for me to do a surgery
225
00:12:39,550 --> 00:12:41,903
from over here, Dr. Duntsch.
226
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,234
Perhaps you'd allow me to
squeeze in right there,
227
00:12:45,250 --> 00:12:47,530
since you're assisting.
228
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:53,760
Scalpel.
229
00:12:56,390 --> 00:12:58,000
Scalpel.
230
00:12:59,560 --> 00:13:01,080
I'm gonna need a scalpel, Dr. Duntsch.
231
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,480
I thought that you were going
to be observing my surgeries.
232
00:13:12,500 --> 00:13:13,522
Why is that?
233
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,749
Because that's what you
told me in my interview.
234
00:13:16,750 --> 00:13:20,153
Oh, well, apologies for
your misunderstanding.
235
00:13:20,170 --> 00:13:21,720
Bovie.
236
00:13:21,740 --> 00:13:23,403
I didn't...
237
00:13:23,420 --> 00:13:26,000
- misunderstand anything.
- If it's all the same to you,
238
00:13:26,020 --> 00:13:27,599
we should have this
conversation at a later,
239
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,660
more appropriate time, Dr. Duntsch.
240
00:13:29,680 --> 00:13:31,030
Retractor.
241
00:13:32,810 --> 00:13:34,793
How long until I'm doing
my own surgeries?
242
00:13:34,810 --> 00:13:37,629
Well, I guess we're having
this conversation right now.
243
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,049
Dr. Sompura is one of
my finest surgeons.
244
00:13:41,060 --> 00:13:42,780
He assisted me for three years,
245
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,200
plus an additional two years
under my supervision
246
00:13:45,220 --> 00:13:47,840
prior to his performing solo procedures.
247
00:13:47,860 --> 00:13:50,340
Five years? I graduated top of my class.
248
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,360
Oh, I'm quite aware of
your qualifications.
249
00:13:52,380 --> 00:13:53,979
You've reminded me several times.
250
00:13:53,980 --> 00:13:56,740
That's why you were hired.
251
00:13:56,770 --> 00:14:01,020
This is where you hone
your education to skills.
252
00:14:02,210 --> 00:14:03,443
I need to concentrate.
253
00:14:03,460 --> 00:14:04,980
So if you're not prepared to assist,
254
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,520
please step outside.
255
00:14:07,540 --> 00:14:10,403
I can finish on my own. Suction, please.
256
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:19,359
You don't need to worry about it.
257
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,280
He just wants you to get
your sea legs under you.
258
00:14:22,390 --> 00:14:24,083
It makes sense.
259
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,794
Come on down here and let's eat.
260
00:14:27,810 --> 00:14:29,449
You're the one who is
so desperately hungry.
261
00:14:29,450 --> 00:14:31,860
- Yeah, I'm almost done.
- What do you want?
262
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:33,960
The chow mein or the fried rice?
263
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,640
Looks good. Um, Kung Pao.
264
00:14:45,980 --> 00:14:48,300
We need to get the fish tank started.
265
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,244
I was thinking something exotic.
266
00:14:51,260 --> 00:14:53,620
You should be writing this stuff down.
267
00:14:53,650 --> 00:14:55,332
I'm eating.
268
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,680
We need art for the walls as well.
269
00:14:59,700 --> 00:15:00,994
Expensive art.
270
00:15:01,010 --> 00:15:04,210
From that... uh, damn.
271
00:15:05,730 --> 00:15:06,999
What's the name of that fancy gallery?
272
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,473
- Um, the mall guy? Kinkade?
- No. No. The mall guy.
273
00:15:11,490 --> 00:15:12,840
Sotheby's.
274
00:15:12,860 --> 00:15:15,159
We need at least two or three
pieces of art from Sotheby's.
275
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:16,959
And I want you to coordinate
with Jerry about the floors
276
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,553
'cause I don't want any of
that cheap-ass vinyl shit.
277
00:15:19,570 --> 00:15:21,900
I want it wall-to-wall marble.
278
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,444
I want the patients to feel
like they're walking on glass.
279
00:15:24,460 --> 00:15:25,779
Is that okay for people with bad backs?
280
00:15:25,780 --> 00:15:27,799
Because I want the patients
wowing when they come in.
281
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,981
You know, like they just
walked into Graceland.
282
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,519
You sure you wanna do
all this right away?
283
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,540
- It's gonna get expensive quick.
- Wendy, when a patient is choosing
284
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,220
between me and Dr. O'Connor
with a boring office,
285
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:38,980
who do you think they're
gonna choose, okay?
286
00:15:39,010 --> 00:15:40,389
Which one are they going to remember?
287
00:15:40,390 --> 00:15:42,480
Trust me, it's gonna pay for itself.
288
00:15:42,500 --> 00:15:44,630
And I don't need to get my sea legs.
289
00:15:46,300 --> 00:15:47,420
What?
290
00:15:49,180 --> 00:15:50,929
I know how to operate.
291
00:15:50,940 --> 00:15:52,890
- I get it.
- So fuck Bishara.
292
00:15:53,580 --> 00:15:54,900
Fuck Bishara.
293
00:16:08,020 --> 00:16:09,480
You ever thought of nursing school?
294
00:16:11,660 --> 00:16:13,070
No.
295
00:16:13,090 --> 00:16:15,036
I thought that was
every stripper's dream,
296
00:16:15,050 --> 00:16:16,710
to pay for nursing school.
297
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,700
I don't do that anymore.
298
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,961
I'm not saying it in a bad way.
299
00:16:22,980 --> 00:16:26,253
I just think you have potential.
300
00:16:26,270 --> 00:16:27,320
I think you're amazing.
301
00:16:27,340 --> 00:16:29,260
You're smart, smarter
than half the nurses
302
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:30,385
I've ever worked with.
303
00:16:34,780 --> 00:16:35,940
What?
304
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,720
Okay, then if not nursing, then what?
305
00:16:39,740 --> 00:16:41,230
What is it that you want to do?
306
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:43,890
Honestly?
307
00:16:45,900 --> 00:16:47,640
I just want to be a mom.
308
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,273
Making school lunches,
309
00:16:51,290 --> 00:16:54,023
giving them those cute, little
fruit cups for their snack
310
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,321
or...
311
00:16:57,340 --> 00:16:59,114
I don't know, maybe
even homeschool them.
312
00:17:05,010 --> 00:17:06,411
I know it's old-fashioned,
313
00:17:06,430 --> 00:17:09,123
but my Aunt Josephine,
the one that lives in Ferris,
314
00:17:09,140 --> 00:17:12,751
she did it, and all of her kids
are in college now, so...
315
00:17:18,180 --> 00:17:20,852
I just...
316
00:17:22,620 --> 00:17:23,688
What?
317
00:17:25,980 --> 00:17:28,350
I guess I just thought you had
318
00:17:28,370 --> 00:17:30,862
so much more potential, you know?
319
00:17:33,630 --> 00:17:34,983
You know, I think you're amazing.
320
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,180
You're basically the pinnacle
of human evolution.
321
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,370
Two X chromosomes. Plus, you're smart.
322
00:17:39,390 --> 00:17:40,720
You keep telling me I'm smart
323
00:17:40,740 --> 00:17:42,139
like you're trying to convince
yourself that I am.
324
00:17:42,140 --> 00:17:43,199
I'm trying to be supportive.
325
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:44,960
- It feels manipulative.
- Manipulative?
326
00:17:44,980 --> 00:17:47,050
You didn't say anything
about me becoming a nurse
327
00:17:47,070 --> 00:17:48,080
when we were in Memphis.
328
00:17:48,100 --> 00:17:50,080
And now all of a sudden we're here...
329
00:17:50,100 --> 00:17:51,499
- I'm just trying to help you out.
- You got this fancy new clinic...
330
00:17:51,500 --> 00:17:53,099
- You're blowing this way out of proportion.
- And you're trying to force me
331
00:17:53,100 --> 00:17:55,240
to go to nursing school.
Don't point your fork at me!
332
00:17:57,220 --> 00:17:58,760
Are you embarrassed by me, Chris?
333
00:17:58,780 --> 00:18:01,400
Of course not. I'm just
making a suggestion.
334
00:18:02,700 --> 00:18:05,020
I'm just trying to help you out.
335
00:18:09,410 --> 00:18:11,853
Wendy, come on. Just...
336
00:18:11,870 --> 00:18:17,441
- No. It's fine.
- Okay. Hey.
337
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:26,831
You know what? You're right. I'm sorry.
338
00:18:26,850 --> 00:18:30,140
Forget I said anything. I just...
339
00:18:30,170 --> 00:18:33,463
I'm wrong. I'm sorry.
340
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,300
I'm sorry.
341
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,431
I'm sorry.
342
00:19:05,290 --> 00:19:07,960
_
343
00:19:07,980 --> 00:19:10,120
Where do you see yourself in five years?
344
00:19:13,580 --> 00:19:15,717
What's next? "What's
my greatest weakness?"
345
00:19:15,730 --> 00:19:18,011
That was gonna be my third question.
346
00:19:21,700 --> 00:19:24,261
When I was looking for
space for my clinic,
347
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,760
I saw this vacant, eight-story
building over on Frankford.
348
00:19:27,790 --> 00:19:29,260
It wasn't much, needs a lot of work,
349
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:30,933
but I want to turn it
350
00:19:30,950 --> 00:19:34,851
into a multibillion-dollar
neurosurgical center.
351
00:19:34,870 --> 00:19:37,180
Everything state-of-the-art
and all in-house.
352
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,740
Diagnostics, surgery,
PT, nutrition, the works.
353
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,160
In five years?
354
00:19:42,180 --> 00:19:44,078
Meteoric rise, wouldn't you say?
355
00:19:44,090 --> 00:19:46,180
I thought that was a
conservative estimate.
356
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,240
Fortunately for MISI,
Dr. Skadden didn't lock you up.
357
00:19:49,270 --> 00:19:51,534
Dr. Skadden is an amazing doctor
358
00:19:51,550 --> 00:19:53,411
and a great friend and mentor.
359
00:19:53,430 --> 00:19:54,480
And for sure,
360
00:19:54,500 --> 00:19:56,720
the easy path for me would
have been to stay in Memphis.
361
00:19:56,740 --> 00:20:01,794
But I wanted to challenge
myself, expand my horizons.
362
00:20:01,810 --> 00:20:04,682
Plus, I was getting recruited
from New York, San Diego,
363
00:20:04,700 --> 00:20:05,971
even UCLA.
364
00:20:05,990 --> 00:20:07,852
How do you like working
with Dr. Bishara?
365
00:20:10,290 --> 00:20:13,233
He has a very particular
way of doing things.
366
00:20:13,250 --> 00:20:15,683
I know he's partial to
keeping the training wheels
367
00:20:15,700 --> 00:20:17,981
on all his surgeons.
368
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,365
It would be nice to be
doing my own surgeries.
369
00:20:20,380 --> 00:20:23,076
Sure. Otherwise, what's the point
of paying you all that money?
370
00:20:23,090 --> 00:20:25,194
MISI is a fine institution.
371
00:20:25,210 --> 00:20:26,829
And please don't take
this the wrong way,
372
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:28,600
but I think for someone
of your pedigree,
373
00:20:28,620 --> 00:20:29,990
it's a step backwards.
374
00:20:30,010 --> 00:20:32,871
You've studied under some of
the best surgeons in the world.
375
00:20:32,890 --> 00:20:35,680
Your work at DiscGenics
seems groundbreaking.
376
00:20:38,110 --> 00:20:40,240
You've been in contact with DiscGenics.
377
00:20:40,270 --> 00:20:41,841
We reached out.
378
00:20:43,700 --> 00:20:46,630
They said you stepped away from
your day-to-day obligations,
379
00:20:46,650 --> 00:20:48,142
but you're still a board member.
380
00:20:50,180 --> 00:20:52,605
Lucky for us, you did.
381
00:20:52,620 --> 00:20:54,800
You should join the Baylor family.
382
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,236
We're better suited for you than MISI.
383
00:21:00,100 --> 00:21:02,780
Well, MISI recruited me.
384
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,500
I guess that call from Baylor
must have got lost in the mail.
385
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,121
That was our mistake.
386
00:21:08,140 --> 00:21:09,440
I admit it.
387
00:21:09,470 --> 00:21:11,783
But the timing couldn't
be more perfect for you.
388
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,520
We're in the process
of new accreditation.
389
00:21:14,540 --> 00:21:17,180
The plan is to offer an even wider array
390
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:18,631
of surgical services.
391
00:21:18,650 --> 00:21:21,430
We're expanding our network
of hospitals around Texas
392
00:21:21,450 --> 00:21:24,800
and need to recruit top
surgeons to handle the influx.
393
00:21:24,820 --> 00:21:30,040
So from my perspective,
you're central to our plans,
394
00:21:30,070 --> 00:21:31,477
and we can be to yours.
395
00:21:32,120 --> 00:21:35,050
I'm under contract.
396
00:21:35,070 --> 00:21:37,891
If your hesitation is about
the 600,000 advance
397
00:21:37,910 --> 00:21:39,731
MISI gave you,
I wouldn't worry about it.
398
00:21:39,750 --> 00:21:41,063
Well, I don't exactly have
399
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:42,419
that kind of money just laying around.
400
00:21:42,420 --> 00:21:44,157
We have a relationship with Frost Bank.
401
00:21:44,170 --> 00:21:46,380
They can set you up with
a loan to help pay it off
402
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:47,651
and cover the expenses
403
00:21:47,670 --> 00:21:49,537
associated with opening a clinic.
404
00:21:49,550 --> 00:21:52,420
I'm still not seeing the fine print.
405
00:21:54,260 --> 00:21:57,820
I'm gonna lift the velvet
rope for you, okay?
406
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,160
You're gonna be successful here.
407
00:22:00,180 --> 00:22:03,290
Whatever you need,
just make it known to me.
408
00:22:03,310 --> 00:22:06,320
We have marketing consultants
to help build your brand,
409
00:22:06,340 --> 00:22:08,620
expand your business.
410
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,520
Obviously, we can't
point patients your way,
411
00:22:11,540 --> 00:22:13,895
but we help you draw them in.
412
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:18,390
If everything goes as I imagine it will,
413
00:22:18,410 --> 00:22:22,900
one day, you'll be chief
of neurological surgery.
414
00:22:28,340 --> 00:22:30,719
I can't be married to
just one institution.
415
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,114
I have to be free to
pursue my own interests.
416
00:22:33,130 --> 00:22:34,880
Seems to me you're
looking for a springboard
417
00:22:34,900 --> 00:22:36,990
to launch your career.
418
00:22:37,010 --> 00:22:40,338
What better place to do
that than Big Baylor?
419
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,262
One day, your name's gonna be up there
420
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,383
for all the world to see.
421
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,180
I assume you're a sports fan?
422
00:23:06,420 --> 00:23:10,024
- America's Snoretime.
- Come on, Jerry.
423
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:11,452
This was very generous.
424
00:23:11,470 --> 00:23:13,571
You said she had a picture
of Cuban in her office?
425
00:23:13,590 --> 00:23:14,639
- Mm-hmm.
- Think she can score
426
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,960
tickets to the Mavs in the fall?
427
00:23:16,980 --> 00:23:18,780
Oh, beer's me.
428
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,337
- Salty Jack is the lady.
- Dom for me.
429
00:23:22,140 --> 00:23:24,080
To Baylor.
430
00:23:24,100 --> 00:23:26,123
You're taking the job, Chrissy.
431
00:23:26,140 --> 00:23:27,960
You're definitely taking the job.
432
00:23:27,980 --> 00:23:30,673
- I don't know yet, Jer.
- Come on, horsey.
433
00:23:30,690 --> 00:23:32,909
This is the biggest no-brainer
since brains were invented.
434
00:23:32,910 --> 00:23:35,400
Dude, you're Baylor's
number-one draft pick,
435
00:23:35,420 --> 00:23:36,739
and you even have the
arm candy to prove it.
436
00:23:36,740 --> 00:23:38,763
Are you flirting with me, Jerry?
437
00:23:38,780 --> 00:23:40,440
You're out of my league, but it's okay.
438
00:23:40,470 --> 00:23:41,691
One day, I'll find my Wendy.
439
00:23:41,710 --> 00:23:43,220
When you find the right girl,
440
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,820
all the strip clubs in Dallas
are gonna go out of business.
441
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,191
Truth.
442
00:23:47,210 --> 00:23:48,400
But seriously,
443
00:23:48,420 --> 00:23:51,273
dude, do you have any idea how much
Baylor's gonna make off of you?
444
00:23:51,290 --> 00:23:54,111
Those billboards, all that
shit generates business.
445
00:23:54,130 --> 00:23:55,939
They don't put any punk-ass
doctor up on there,
446
00:23:55,940 --> 00:23:56,951
only the superstars.
447
00:23:56,970 --> 00:23:58,916
Wendy, can I get an amen?
448
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,260
- I don't get it.
- Get what?
449
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,465
The billboard, this box, the everything.
450
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:06,924
It just seems fast, is all.
451
00:24:06,940 --> 00:24:08,963
Not fast enough for my boy-genius.
452
00:24:08,980 --> 00:24:10,439
He's got that Brad Pitt thing going on.
453
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,214
Well, pump the brakes.
454
00:24:12,230 --> 00:24:14,301
Your boy's a lot of things,
but he's not Brad Pitt.
455
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,344
- Ooh. Ouch, a hater.
- I'm just asking.
456
00:24:17,360 --> 00:24:19,260
Wendy, when life gives you lemonade,
457
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:20,605
don't make fucking lemons.
458
00:24:20,620 --> 00:24:23,400
The more surgeries Chris does,
the more elite he becomes,
459
00:24:23,420 --> 00:24:24,840
the more money they generate.
460
00:24:24,860 --> 00:24:26,903
I don't even have the
clinic up and running yet.
461
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:31,073
And I still have to hire a
PA. Still need my Bonnie.
462
00:24:31,090 --> 00:24:33,520
Dr. Bishara sent over a
list of recommendations.
463
00:24:33,540 --> 00:24:35,219
I'll start setting up
interviews in the morning.
464
00:24:35,220 --> 00:24:38,580
- Jerry on the spot.
- Okay.
465
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:43,060
So I was gonna wait until we had
the articles of incorporation,
466
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:44,295
but screw it.
467
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,170
- Did you make this?
- _
468
00:24:50,180 --> 00:24:51,200
Yeah.
469
00:24:51,810 --> 00:24:52,970
I love it.
470
00:24:52,990 --> 00:24:55,923
- Really?
- It's so good, Jerry.
471
00:24:55,940 --> 00:24:58,059
- Thanks.
- You know, that reminds me,
472
00:24:58,070 --> 00:25:00,800
I haven't hired a
marketing director yet.
473
00:25:00,830 --> 00:25:02,643
You know, someone to promote the clinic.
474
00:25:02,660 --> 00:25:04,643
- I'll put a list together.
- No. You know what?
475
00:25:04,660 --> 00:25:06,234
- I think I found the guy.
- Word.
476
00:25:06,250 --> 00:25:08,486
Give me his contact
info. I'll reach out.
477
00:25:08,500 --> 00:25:12,620
Mm. Okay, so his name...
478
00:25:12,650 --> 00:25:15,243
is Jerry Summers.
479
00:25:16,850 --> 00:25:18,538
You fucking with me?
480
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:20,993
Oh, my God. Are you serious?
481
00:25:21,010 --> 00:25:24,244
- You just got a promotion!
- Holy shit, dude!
482
00:25:24,260 --> 00:25:26,541
Oh, my God. I won't
let you down. I swear.
483
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,299
I'll make cards,
I'll make flyers, everything.
484
00:25:28,300 --> 00:25:30,480
I've even got this dope-ass
idea for a killer website,
485
00:25:30,500 --> 00:25:31,559
got a guy who can build it.
486
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,340
- That's what I like to hear.
- So...
487
00:25:35,420 --> 00:25:37,050
Baylor?
488
00:25:37,070 --> 00:25:39,029
What's it gonna be, Chrissy?
You gonna nut up or what?
489
00:25:39,030 --> 00:25:42,853
Here's to Jerry Summers,
Executive Marketing Director,
490
00:25:43,490 --> 00:25:46,040
and here's to Baylor-Plano, bitches!
491
00:25:46,060 --> 00:25:47,890
- Whoo!
- Yeah!
492
00:25:50,170 --> 00:25:52,660
_
493
00:26:12,860 --> 00:26:14,840
- Hey.
- Hey.
494
00:26:15,950 --> 00:26:20,000
We're supposed to have
lunch with Dr. Isaacs today.
495
00:26:20,020 --> 00:26:21,599
But one of my procedures
got rescheduled,
496
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,221
so can you call him and
tell him I'm gonna be late?
497
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,103
And Medtronics was gonna
deliver all their screws.
498
00:26:27,120 --> 00:26:28,719
I might not be back in time; if I'm not,
499
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,300
can you just sign for it and
have them leave all there?
500
00:26:31,330 --> 00:26:33,420
- Mm-hmm.
- Great.
501
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,190
What's up? What's wrong?
502
00:26:39,120 --> 00:26:40,400
What is it, Wendy?
503
00:26:41,740 --> 00:26:43,240
What?
504
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,660
B-A-B-Y.
505
00:26:51,950 --> 00:26:53,007
Are you serious?
506
00:26:54,360 --> 00:26:56,210
How?
507
00:26:56,230 --> 00:26:57,713
A stork fucked me.
508
00:27:00,850 --> 00:27:01,891
Are you sure?
509
00:27:01,910 --> 00:27:05,844
- I took a test. Twice.
- Well...
510
00:27:05,860 --> 00:27:08,891
They give false positives.
That could be a bad batch.
511
00:27:10,910 --> 00:27:12,021
Okay.
512
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,220
You're not happy?
513
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,274
Of course I am. It's just big news.
514
00:27:19,290 --> 00:27:22,241
Honestly, I'm a little hungover today.
515
00:27:22,260 --> 00:27:27,160
And I can't be late, but I
am over the moon with joy.
516
00:27:27,180 --> 00:27:29,669
When I get back, we can celebrate.
517
00:28:40,350 --> 00:28:43,401
_
518
00:28:46,820 --> 00:28:48,880
_
519
00:28:49,650 --> 00:28:52,280
_
520
00:29:09,300 --> 00:29:12,230
_
521
00:29:12,260 --> 00:29:15,270
_
522
00:29:15,300 --> 00:29:19,700
_
523
00:29:24,770 --> 00:29:28,920
_
524
00:29:28,950 --> 00:29:32,870
_
525
00:29:32,900 --> 00:29:35,660
_
526
00:29:36,740 --> 00:29:38,204
_
527
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:50,940
You have a doctorate.
528
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,062
- Mind if I call you doctor?
- Kim will do.
529
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,273
You last worked for Dr. George Clondike,
530
00:29:58,290 --> 00:29:59,499
but only for a couple months. Why?
531
00:29:59,500 --> 00:30:02,443
- Know him?
- No. I'm new in town.
532
00:30:02,460 --> 00:30:04,363
He's an ortho-oncologist and an ass,
533
00:30:04,380 --> 00:30:06,367
and that's the nicest thing
I can say about him.
534
00:30:06,380 --> 00:30:08,744
What happened?
535
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:10,904
Uh...
536
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:12,349
I'm not even trying
to get into all that,
537
00:30:12,350 --> 00:30:13,953
but it was a shit-show.
538
00:30:13,970 --> 00:30:15,413
Pardon my French.
539
00:30:15,430 --> 00:30:18,254
So I quit and went straight
to Padre for some R&R.
540
00:30:18,270 --> 00:30:20,164
And Dr. Bishara called and told me
541
00:30:20,180 --> 00:30:21,940
you were looking for a
physician's assistant.
542
00:30:21,950 --> 00:30:23,717
Yes, he speaks very highly of you.
543
00:30:23,730 --> 00:30:26,620
I just do my job very well.
544
00:30:27,650 --> 00:30:29,350
You also worked for a
neurosurgeon before.
545
00:30:29,370 --> 00:30:31,559
- How was that experience?
- We got divorced.
546
00:30:32,660 --> 00:30:34,480
You married your neurosurgeon?
547
00:30:34,500 --> 00:30:35,600
Interesting.
548
00:30:35,620 --> 00:30:38,148
They're not that interesting.
549
00:30:39,140 --> 00:30:42,110
You just haven't met the right one yet.
550
00:30:43,540 --> 00:30:45,120
So what happened?
551
00:30:45,140 --> 00:30:48,531
- What happened with what?
- You said you got divorced.
552
00:30:48,550 --> 00:30:50,009
Are you asking why I'm
not working with him
553
00:30:50,010 --> 00:30:51,036
or why I got divorced?
554
00:30:51,050 --> 00:30:52,621
Why you got divorced.
555
00:30:53,940 --> 00:30:55,570
Sounds like an unprofessional question
556
00:30:55,590 --> 00:30:56,792
for a professional interview.
557
00:30:57,820 --> 00:31:00,000
You're the one that brought it up.
558
00:31:02,460 --> 00:31:04,130
It got stale.
559
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,850
I needed excitement in my life.
560
00:31:10,620 --> 00:31:12,220
Buy one, get one at Target.
561
00:31:21,210 --> 00:31:22,820
So what do you know about me?
562
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,100
You graduated top of your class
563
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:27,651
from University of Tennessee
564
00:31:27,670 --> 00:31:29,825
where you received a PhD and MD.
565
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,550
While in the program, you also
became the majority shareholder
566
00:31:32,580 --> 00:31:34,530
and Chief Science Officer at DiscGenics.
567
00:31:34,550 --> 00:31:36,613
The research you've done on stem cells
568
00:31:36,630 --> 00:31:39,293
is gonna change the face of
spinal surgery as we know it.
569
00:31:40,140 --> 00:31:41,740
At least according to you.
570
00:31:43,470 --> 00:31:45,300
Yeah, I don't sleep much.
571
00:31:45,990 --> 00:31:48,253
My philosophy on the current
state of neurosurgery
572
00:31:48,270 --> 00:31:49,762
is that it's primitive.
573
00:31:49,780 --> 00:31:51,343
It is, of course,
574
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,343
every surgeon's goal never to operate.
575
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,080
But so long as humans have bodies,
576
00:31:55,100 --> 00:31:57,590
spinal surgeries are gonna be necessary.
577
00:31:57,610 --> 00:31:59,471
I want to modernize it.
578
00:31:59,490 --> 00:32:01,179
What's the point of
removing a diseased disc
579
00:32:01,180 --> 00:32:03,317
if you can use a stem
cell to regenerate it?
580
00:32:03,330 --> 00:32:05,070
You're either really
smart or really crazy,
581
00:32:05,090 --> 00:32:07,420
but if you pull it off,
582
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,657
that's one hell of an achievement.
583
00:32:10,470 --> 00:32:13,035
So how is that for interesting?
584
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,910
I'll give you my answer
if I get the job.
585
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,744
You see, that's why I need a
PA who can keep up with me.
586
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:23,291
'Cause I'm like the "USS Enterprise"
587
00:32:23,310 --> 00:32:24,390
moving at warp speed eight,
588
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:25,440
and I need a Number One
589
00:32:25,460 --> 00:32:26,840
who can help me navigate the ship.
590
00:32:28,530 --> 00:32:29,729
I don't know what any of that means,
591
00:32:29,730 --> 00:32:31,520
but I'll give you this one for free.
592
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,220
Your clinic is being run
by a bunch of dummies.
593
00:32:40,500 --> 00:32:42,898
And who is this guy?
594
00:32:42,910 --> 00:32:44,100
Jerry Summers,
595
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,103
uh, Executive Director of Marketing.
596
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:50,151
So what do you do, like,
hand out flyers or something?
597
00:32:50,170 --> 00:32:51,280
Well, yeah.
598
00:32:51,300 --> 00:32:53,783
But I'm also his website
guy. I'm building it.
599
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,787
Not my personal self, but I hired a guy.
600
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,033
So you're the website guy,
but not the website guy.
601
00:33:00,050 --> 00:33:03,283
- I'm the guy that...
- Jerry helps out around the office.
602
00:33:03,300 --> 00:33:06,100
Okay, so you got this...
603
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,883
fake website marketing guy,
and I'm sorry... but not sorry...
604
00:33:09,900 --> 00:33:11,450
your front desk girl is rude
605
00:33:11,470 --> 00:33:12,859
and doesn't have basic office etiquette.
606
00:33:12,860 --> 00:33:14,360
Her name is Wendy Young,
607
00:33:14,380 --> 00:33:17,053
- and she's a pretty good...
- She's a temp.
608
00:33:17,070 --> 00:33:18,360
She was with us in Memphis
609
00:33:18,380 --> 00:33:21,478
and wanted to move to Dallas
to be closer to her husband.
610
00:33:21,490 --> 00:33:22,539
But don't worry, she's pregnant.
611
00:33:22,540 --> 00:33:23,829
She's not gonna be here very long.
612
00:33:23,830 --> 00:33:25,891
You need at least two
people working the desk.
613
00:33:25,910 --> 00:33:27,317
One to do phones and scheduling,
614
00:33:27,330 --> 00:33:29,160
the other to handle
all the intake stuff.
615
00:33:29,180 --> 00:33:31,530
I know a couple of girls
that'll be perfect.
616
00:33:31,550 --> 00:33:33,680
And, dude, those construction guys
617
00:33:33,700 --> 00:33:36,035
are not gonna be done before you open.
618
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:37,990
I get it.
619
00:33:38,010 --> 00:33:39,500
You're a whip.
620
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,139
You're the type of person
who's gonna come in here
621
00:33:41,140 --> 00:33:42,791
and make this place work.
622
00:33:44,420 --> 00:33:45,993
I'm more like a hammer.
623
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,043
But I get what you're saying.
624
00:33:49,060 --> 00:33:50,673
My references are on the second page.
625
00:33:50,690 --> 00:33:52,419
You can call any of them and
they'll tell you the same thing.
626
00:33:52,420 --> 00:33:55,044
You know, I'm more of a gut guy.
627
00:33:55,060 --> 00:33:58,015
I used to play football back
in college, all-American.
628
00:33:58,030 --> 00:34:01,140
Coach was always telling us,
the one thing in the world
629
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,850
that will never lie to
you, your instincts.
630
00:34:04,870 --> 00:34:06,815
That's kind of how I operate.
631
00:34:08,270 --> 00:34:10,313
So what's your instinct telling you?
632
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,616
- She's a stone-cold bitch.
- I like her.
633
00:34:15,630 --> 00:34:17,790
Doesn't bother you she was
married to her neurosurgeon?
634
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:19,493
She gives off that money-digger vibe.
635
00:34:19,510 --> 00:34:21,823
- Gold digger.
- Mm, money digger.
636
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:23,741
No one digs for gold anymore.
637
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,701
When were you gonna
tell me about the baby?
638
00:34:26,720 --> 00:34:28,243
You know, just didn't come up.
639
00:34:28,260 --> 00:34:30,001
Well, that's great news.
640
00:34:30,020 --> 00:34:32,260
You, Wendy, baby.
641
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,083
I'm happy for you all.
642
00:34:34,100 --> 00:34:36,470
Why did you say all
that shit about Wendy?
643
00:34:36,490 --> 00:34:37,660
What shit?
644
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:39,833
She's just a temp,
645
00:34:39,850 --> 00:34:41,930
she's married to some guy in Memphis?
646
00:34:43,780 --> 00:34:45,221
"Oh, hello, Dr. Morgan.
647
00:34:45,240 --> 00:34:47,240
"Welcome to our
state-of-the-art facility.
648
00:34:47,260 --> 00:34:48,440
"For your information,
649
00:34:48,460 --> 00:34:50,320
"our secretary used to be a stripper.
650
00:34:50,350 --> 00:34:51,999
Would you still be interested
in the position?"
651
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:53,820
She's about to be your baby mama.
652
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:55,280
Who cares if she was a stripper?
653
00:34:55,300 --> 00:34:57,019
Some of the best people
I know are strippers.
654
00:34:57,020 --> 00:34:59,500
Huh. Everybody you know is a stripper.
655
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,400
Besides,
656
00:35:02,420 --> 00:35:04,661
Kim said she had two other
candidates for the positions.
657
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,743
Chris, you know me.
I've always been supportive.
658
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:09,336
Don't fuck it up with Wendy.
659
00:35:09,350 --> 00:35:11,500
What is that supposed to mean?
660
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,041
I mean, it was just me and my mom,
661
00:35:14,060 --> 00:35:15,884
you know, my whole life. No dad.
662
00:35:15,900 --> 00:35:17,650
And now I see it, this woman...
663
00:35:17,670 --> 00:35:19,199
- Jerry.
- She's coming in all hot to trot.
664
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,883
Jerry, I'm not leaving Wendy, okay?
665
00:35:21,900 --> 00:35:24,600
And I'm not leaving the baby, okay?
666
00:35:26,620 --> 00:35:29,891
Kim is ambitious, she's confident,
667
00:35:29,910 --> 00:35:32,100
she has an impressive résumé,
668
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,520
and I need the best
people working for me.
669
00:35:38,670 --> 00:35:40,613
Kim's my physician's assistant.
670
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:43,990
Okay.
671
00:35:51,980 --> 00:35:55,860
_
672
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,719
- Mm-mm, mm-mm. Not now, not now.
- When are we gonna talk?
673
00:36:00,720 --> 00:36:03,040
Babe, not now. No! Not now.
674
00:36:03,060 --> 00:36:06,680
No, I don't give a shit.
We're having a baby.
675
00:36:06,700 --> 00:36:08,344
And you haven't said a word about it.
676
00:36:11,940 --> 00:36:14,100
Fine.
677
00:36:14,130 --> 00:36:16,030
If you wanna talk, let's talk.
678
00:36:24,100 --> 00:36:26,073
You don't want to have this baby?
679
00:36:29,220 --> 00:36:32,530
We've only been together
a couple months, Wendy.
680
00:36:33,220 --> 00:36:35,250
Sorry if I'm not lighting cigars.
681
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,673
So that's it? "Wham, bam,
thank you, ma'am"?
682
00:36:40,690 --> 00:36:42,303
No.
683
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:46,803
Look, I don't expect
you to fully grasp this,
684
00:36:46,820 --> 00:36:48,893
but everything that I'm doing
685
00:36:48,910 --> 00:36:54,316
will help you live past
your wildest dreams.
686
00:36:54,330 --> 00:36:57,940
I have a plan.
687
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:03,240
All I need is for you to
go to nursing school.
688
00:37:03,260 --> 00:37:04,701
You fucking kidding me?
689
00:37:05,260 --> 00:37:07,040
I'm not an accessory
690
00:37:07,060 --> 00:37:08,619
- in Chris's world.
- Wendy, give me a break.
691
00:37:08,620 --> 00:37:11,240
You had no problem playing the
role of doctor's girlfriend,
692
00:37:11,270 --> 00:37:12,779
but now when it's not working for you,
693
00:37:12,780 --> 00:37:13,949
all of a sudden it's an issue?
694
00:37:13,950 --> 00:37:15,259
Nothing with you has ever worked for me.
695
00:37:15,260 --> 00:37:16,339
- It's always been on your terms.
- Oh, bullshit.
696
00:37:16,340 --> 00:37:19,330
That is fucking bullshit, Wendy.
697
00:37:19,350 --> 00:37:21,680
I wanted to go to UCLA;
that was my first choice,
698
00:37:21,700 --> 00:37:22,819
but you're the one that
said you wouldn't move
699
00:37:22,820 --> 00:37:24,979
unless we came to Dallas
because of your aunt in Ferris.
700
00:37:24,980 --> 00:37:26,520
So don't pretend like it's been me
701
00:37:26,540 --> 00:37:28,593
just dragging you along
for this whole ride.
702
00:37:28,610 --> 00:37:30,480
- You're blaming me?
- Oh, Jesus!
703
00:37:30,510 --> 00:37:32,000
Can you not play the victim?
704
00:37:32,020 --> 00:37:34,180
Just try it. See what happens.
705
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,220
You're the one who wanted a boyfriend
706
00:37:36,250 --> 00:37:38,830
who could buy your shoes and
your perfume and your makeup
707
00:37:38,850 --> 00:37:40,620
and pay your rent and
whatever the fuck else.
708
00:37:40,650 --> 00:37:43,571
And you know what?
Congratulations, you got it.
709
00:37:43,590 --> 00:37:45,617
You won in life.
You got what you wanted.
710
00:37:45,630 --> 00:37:49,071
But life is a double-edged
fucking sword.
711
00:37:49,090 --> 00:37:53,080
This is what it's like to
date a god. Keep up.
712
00:37:53,100 --> 00:37:55,539
You might be able to hustle these
stuffy, buttoned-up assholes,
713
00:37:55,540 --> 00:37:57,713
but not me. I know you're a fraud,
714
00:37:57,730 --> 00:37:59,689
always acting like you know
everything, but you don't.
715
00:37:59,690 --> 00:38:01,925
You can't even keep a job.
716
00:38:03,650 --> 00:38:05,345
What the fuck does that mean?
717
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:06,609
They dumped your ass out of DiscGenics.
718
00:38:06,610 --> 00:38:08,557
I'm on the board!
719
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,000
"On the board" means
they're too embarrassed
720
00:38:11,020 --> 00:38:13,040
- by you to fire you!
- I made $1/2 million
721
00:38:13,060 --> 00:38:14,973
just by stepping foot in this city!
722
00:38:14,990 --> 00:38:17,311
And everything that you
have is because of me!
723
00:38:17,330 --> 00:38:19,400
I picked you up out
of the fucking gutter,
724
00:38:19,420 --> 00:38:21,680
and I can throw you right
back there if I want.
725
00:38:21,700 --> 00:38:23,460
You'll end up some sagging hussy
726
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:25,340
working the pole for chump change.
727
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:27,660
And you know what? If I'm
being perfectly honest,
728
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:29,059
the best thing you could probably do
729
00:38:29,060 --> 00:38:30,740
is abort that fucking baby,
730
00:38:30,770 --> 00:38:34,991
because you are not the type
of person who can raise it.
731
00:38:35,010 --> 00:38:36,831
And I'm saying that with love
732
00:38:36,850 --> 00:38:40,003
because I am trying to
help you win in life!
733
00:38:40,020 --> 00:38:41,753
- Fuck you!
- Fuck you!
734
00:38:43,020 --> 00:38:44,383
Fuck you!
735
00:38:45,690 --> 00:38:46,960
Fuck you!
736
00:38:46,980 --> 00:38:48,780
- Hey, open this... open the...
- Fuck you!
737
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:49,919
- Fuck!
- Tex-Mex, y'all. Hey!
738
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:51,399
- Open this door!
- Fuck you, Chris! Fuck you!
739
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:52,749
- Ungrateful bitch!
- Hey! What the fuck?
740
00:38:52,750 --> 00:38:53,760
- Open up!
- Get out!
741
00:38:53,780 --> 00:38:55,039
- Open the fuck up!
- Hey, shut the fuck up! Both of you.
742
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:56,799
- Get out!
- Get out of my goddamn hotel room!
743
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:58,239
- Get him out of here!
- You need to calm down.
744
00:38:58,240 --> 00:38:59,893
- Get him out!
- Fuck.
745
00:38:59,910 --> 00:39:01,219
- All right. Cool it, bro.
- Get off of me!
746
00:39:01,220 --> 00:39:02,229
- Cool it, bro.
- Get off of me!
747
00:39:02,230 --> 00:39:03,820
All right. What the hell happened?
748
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:07,980
Hey, we have to talk about this, okay?
749
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:32,057
Oh, fuck.
750
00:39:34,110 --> 00:39:37,104
Ah, fuck.
751
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:38,933
Oh, fuck.
752
00:40:00,780 --> 00:40:04,800
Hopefully, in the future, you stay away
753
00:40:04,820 --> 00:40:07,420
from whatever unsavory
character did this to you.
754
00:40:08,980 --> 00:40:10,964
I did it to myself.
755
00:40:13,150 --> 00:40:15,500
You don't care to share, fine by me.
756
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,723
Let's not kick this new phase
of our relationship off...
757
00:40:24,370 --> 00:40:25,444
with an untruth.
758
00:40:27,180 --> 00:40:29,774
New phase?
759
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:38,260
Articles of incorporation
760
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,834
for the Texas Neurosurgical Institute.
761
00:40:41,510 --> 00:40:44,501
You're officially official, Dr. Duntsch.
762
00:40:49,900 --> 00:40:51,700
Clinic's up and running,
763
00:40:51,720 --> 00:40:54,080
got a gnarly man scar.
764
00:40:54,100 --> 00:40:56,471
So much to make whoopee about.
765
00:40:58,240 --> 00:41:00,187
Classy.
766
00:41:10,340 --> 00:41:12,780
Most people are so close-minded...
767
00:41:15,170 --> 00:41:18,350
so narrowly focused on their
tiny, little cocooned worlds
768
00:41:18,370 --> 00:41:20,430
that they don't even understand
769
00:41:20,450 --> 00:41:22,880
the greatness that I am offering them.
770
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:27,140
But that's okay,
771
00:41:27,170 --> 00:41:30,173
because if I have to stand in
front of them a thousand times
772
00:41:30,190 --> 00:41:35,420
to explain my genius to them
to make them understand...
773
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,013
then it's all worth it.
774
00:41:38,030 --> 00:41:40,477
And it starts at Baylor.
775
00:41:40,490 --> 00:41:45,023
I am going to make them understand.
776
00:41:48,660 --> 00:41:51,771
And this isn't the unstoppable
force paradox,
777
00:41:51,790 --> 00:41:55,531
because there's only me.
778
00:41:55,550 --> 00:41:58,078
I embody everything.
779
00:42:02,720 --> 00:42:04,980
And what am I looking at here?
780
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,480
A screw imbedded in soft tissue.
781
00:42:07,500 --> 00:42:09,751
- He missed the spine entirely.
- _
782
00:42:09,770 --> 00:42:11,780
If what you're telling
me is to be believed,
783
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:15,845
then it seems to me that this
is a case of incompetence.
784
00:42:15,860 --> 00:42:17,779
I can train a couple of circus monkeys
785
00:42:17,780 --> 00:42:19,740
to do a better job.
786
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:22,973
How do you like your
steak, Mr. Yarborough?
787
00:42:22,990 --> 00:42:26,064
- Do I feel an analogy coming on?
- Mm.
788
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,350
Texan born and bred.
789
00:42:28,370 --> 00:42:32,300
When you slice into that
perfect rare to bloody steak,
790
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,020
it's soft, like you're cutting
through a stick of butter.
791
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:38,234
Now, if somebody stuck a
piece of wood into that steak,
792
00:42:38,250 --> 00:42:39,571
when your knife made contact,
793
00:42:39,590 --> 00:42:41,179
you'd be able to tell
the difference, correct?
794
00:42:41,180 --> 00:42:42,320
Of course.
795
00:42:42,350 --> 00:42:44,600
Well, the contrast between
the wood and the steak
796
00:42:44,620 --> 00:42:48,240
is the same as the spine and
the muscles surrounding it.
797
00:42:48,260 --> 00:42:50,547
And Duntsch couldn't
tell the difference?
798
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:52,591
Which is a damn near impossibility
799
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:54,507
unless he was actively
trying to insert the screw
800
00:42:54,508 --> 00:42:56,700
in the wrong place, which
would answer your questions
801
00:42:56,720 --> 00:42:58,740
about showing criminal intent.
802
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:02,560
To bring criminal charges,
803
00:43:02,580 --> 00:43:05,804
a certain threshold has to be met.
804
00:43:05,820 --> 00:43:07,480
I'm not sure we're there.
805
00:43:07,500 --> 00:43:09,601
What's evident, though, is it appears
806
00:43:09,620 --> 00:43:12,644
you have a compelling medical
malpractice complaint,
807
00:43:12,660 --> 00:43:14,980
which should be taken up in civil court.
808
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:16,879
But pushing this off to
the civil court, I mean,
809
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:20,660
if that isn't passing the buck,
I don't know what is.
810
00:43:22,860 --> 00:43:26,490
We're dancing in a field of gray.
811
00:43:26,510 --> 00:43:29,911
This office deals with drug
dealers and murderers.
812
00:43:29,930 --> 00:43:33,583
The law is explicit.
Don't sell drugs, don't kill.
813
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:36,799
It's an undeviating line
any jury can follow.
814
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:41,600
What you're presenting me is
eight years of medical school
815
00:43:41,620 --> 00:43:43,820
that we'd have to shove
down the jury's throats
816
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:45,727
in a handful of days.
817
00:43:45,740 --> 00:43:47,199
They'd have to be so versed to the point
818
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:48,480
that they could differentiate
819
00:43:48,500 --> 00:43:51,775
between sound medical practice
and criminal negligence.
820
00:43:51,790 --> 00:43:53,960
I don't think it would
be that hard for them
821
00:43:53,980 --> 00:43:55,660
to understand the scope
of what he's done.
822
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:58,481
We're not asking the
jury to perform surgery.
823
00:43:58,500 --> 00:44:00,180
Well, tell that to juror number seven,
824
00:44:00,210 --> 00:44:01,281
who doesn't wanna be there
825
00:44:01,300 --> 00:44:03,444
'cause she's losing
valuable days at work,
826
00:44:03,460 --> 00:44:06,911
and her kids' Christmas wish
list is going up in smoke.
827
00:44:06,930 --> 00:44:09,060
Duntsch has two deaths that we know of,
828
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:11,830
and the state of Texas has
executed people for less.
829
00:44:13,240 --> 00:44:15,250
I'm not negating what has transpired.
830
00:44:16,030 --> 00:44:20,000
But you're asking us to start
up a very steep mountain.
831
00:44:20,020 --> 00:44:23,920
Ah, well, you know,
the degree of difficulty
832
00:44:23,940 --> 00:44:25,780
shouldn't dictate how
you do your goddamn job,
833
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,081
otherwise we should all be
selling hot dogs at a ballgame.
834
00:44:28,110 --> 00:44:29,780
I had a patient once.
835
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:33,644
Woodland Arp, very successful
lumbar spine fusion,
836
00:44:33,660 --> 00:44:34,940
recovered nicely for six months.
837
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,049
Then he started having
recurring back pain in the area
838
00:44:37,050 --> 00:44:38,580
where the device was implanted.
839
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:40,380
And by then, the fusion was intact,
840
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,300
so Mr. Arp decided to have
the hardware removed
841
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:44,202
to alleviate the discomfort.
842
00:44:45,020 --> 00:44:47,200
Straightforward, neat procedure.
843
00:44:47,220 --> 00:44:50,120
35 minutes, skin to skin,
got the hardware out.
844
00:44:50,140 --> 00:44:52,180
I rounded on him later
on; he was on his feet,
845
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:53,620
walking around, no pre-op pain.
846
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:55,543
He was ecstatic.
847
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:58,180
The next morning, they found
him dead on the bathroom floor.
848
00:44:59,660 --> 00:45:01,510
Pulmonary embolism.
849
00:45:04,700 --> 00:45:07,053
I did nothing wrong.
850
00:45:07,070 --> 00:45:10,471
I did everything by the book,
and not a week goes by
851
00:45:10,490 --> 00:45:11,650
that I don't think about him.
852
00:45:11,660 --> 00:45:14,601
Now, whether he's doing
it on purpose or not,
853
00:45:14,620 --> 00:45:19,410
Duntsch knows that he is
not a competent surgeon.
854
00:45:21,300 --> 00:45:23,571
That's intent.
855
00:45:23,590 --> 00:45:24,899
And what's gonna happen
if people find out
856
00:45:24,900 --> 00:45:27,240
that you had an
opportunity to stop him...
857
00:45:29,090 --> 00:45:30,790
but you didn't take it?
858
00:45:53,820 --> 00:45:57,150
George, take the lead on this.
859
00:45:57,820 --> 00:46:00,020
We'll conduct a thorough investigation
860
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,190
and see where the evidence leads us.
861
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:45,120
_
862
00:46:59,270 --> 00:47:01,003
Ready to rock?
863
00:47:01,020 --> 00:47:02,584
Fuck yeah.
864
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:03,675
Next stop,
865
00:47:03,690 --> 00:47:06,671
Baylor-fucking-Plano Hospital.
866
