Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:12,870 --> 00:00:15,180
Look, I had my pick of hospitals,
2
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,730
and not just in Texas...
around the country.
3
00:00:17,750 --> 00:00:19,250
Around the world, if we're being honest.
4
00:00:19,260 --> 00:00:21,350
- I'm talking about top spinal centers.
- _
5
00:00:21,370 --> 00:00:23,550
But the reason I chose UGH
6
00:00:23,570 --> 00:00:27,070
is because I believe in building
something from the ground up
7
00:00:27,090 --> 00:00:28,930
and really entrenching the culture
8
00:00:28,950 --> 00:00:32,110
into the DNA of the hospital,
make sure that every doctor
9
00:00:32,130 --> 00:00:33,300
that walks through those doors after me
10
00:00:33,310 --> 00:00:34,950
knows how to do things the proper way,
11
00:00:34,970 --> 00:00:37,500
'cause I'm gonna change how
we do surgery here in Texas,
12
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:38,910
bring it into the 21st century.
13
00:00:38,930 --> 00:00:41,000
Rolling out the red carpet for this guy,
14
00:00:41,020 --> 00:00:42,330
offering him heaven and Earth.
15
00:00:42,350 --> 00:00:44,130
Doesn't make any sense.
16
00:00:44,150 --> 00:00:46,960
So what's the plan to deal with
this human hot air balloon?
17
00:00:46,980 --> 00:00:48,210
It's incubating.
18
00:00:48,230 --> 00:00:50,680
Well, we're off to a rollicking start.
19
00:00:50,700 --> 00:00:53,680
I ever tell you the broken arm
story I heard in Landstuhl?
20
00:00:53,700 --> 00:00:55,310
No, and I don't want to hear it now.
21
00:00:55,330 --> 00:00:57,470
It was right after
Operation Phantom Fury.
22
00:00:57,490 --> 00:01:00,100
The Marines got this guy,
Abdul something-or-other.
23
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,250
He and his men had been
leading these guerrilla attacks
24
00:01:02,260 --> 00:01:04,310
in Afghanistan, took out
a bunch of Humvees.
25
00:01:04,330 --> 00:01:06,150
He's interrogated, doesn't say a word.
26
00:01:06,170 --> 00:01:08,360
They must have had him five, six days.
27
00:01:08,370 --> 00:01:09,970
They get these orders to release him.
28
00:01:09,990 --> 00:01:11,370
Everybody knows he's the bastard
29
00:01:11,390 --> 00:01:13,300
who's been attacking 'em,
but now they gotta let him go.
30
00:01:13,310 --> 00:01:14,740
So you know what they did?
31
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,370
They broke both arms in
four different places,
32
00:01:17,390 --> 00:01:18,850
wrapped him up, sent him on his way.
33
00:01:18,870 --> 00:01:19,920
Never heard from him again.
34
00:01:19,930 --> 00:01:22,430
So you're saying that we
should break Duntsch's arms?
35
00:01:22,450 --> 00:01:23,670
Abso-fuckin'-lutely.
36
00:01:23,690 --> 00:01:25,840
Before it was his hands,
and now it's his arms?
37
00:01:25,860 --> 00:01:27,300
I'll settle for his fingers.
38
00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:28,960
Oh, my God.
39
00:01:28,980 --> 00:01:31,600
Feel free to share your
nuggets of brilliance.
40
00:01:33,210 --> 00:01:35,010
There's Sasani.
41
00:01:35,030 --> 00:01:36,650
We should go and talk to him.
42
00:01:36,670 --> 00:01:38,970
Discuss our way to justice?
43
00:01:38,990 --> 00:01:40,850
Sexy plan, per usual.
44
00:01:40,870 --> 00:01:43,610
I'm more than happy
to do this on my own.
45
00:01:44,350 --> 00:01:45,370
Lead the way.
46
00:01:45,390 --> 00:01:47,120
A city with a thriving
medical community.
47
00:01:47,130 --> 00:01:49,970
But in looking around, UG
wanted to find a niche,
48
00:01:49,990 --> 00:01:51,190
areas where we could specialize,
49
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,300
provide quality health care for
those who don't have millions...
50
00:01:53,310 --> 00:01:54,570
Congratulations, bud.
51
00:01:54,590 --> 00:01:57,120
You wanted a neurosurgeon,
you hired a Neanderthal.
52
00:01:58,170 --> 00:02:00,030
This is Dr. Randall Kirby.
53
00:02:00,050 --> 00:02:01,210
We were in med school together.
54
00:02:01,220 --> 00:02:03,310
- Mm.
- Been a kidder all his life.
55
00:02:03,330 --> 00:02:05,490
- Ever the kidder.
- Now may we talk in private?
56
00:02:05,510 --> 00:02:06,680
Well, we want to stick around,
57
00:02:06,690 --> 00:02:08,750
sing like canaries so
everybody can hear.
58
00:02:08,770 --> 00:02:10,420
La-la-la-la-la!
59
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:11,840
Please come with me.
60
00:02:11,860 --> 00:02:14,830
Dr. Kirby, would you grab
me a cocktail, a margarita,
61
00:02:14,850 --> 00:02:18,350
spicy, with one of those
little umbrellas in it?
62
00:02:18,370 --> 00:02:20,020
So I take it you heard about Duntsch.
63
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,350
I've only heard good things.
64
00:02:22,370 --> 00:02:24,270
I've got X-rays of his handiwork
65
00:02:24,290 --> 00:02:25,330
in the trunk of my car.
66
00:02:25,350 --> 00:02:27,690
I could pass them out
as party favors here.
67
00:02:27,710 --> 00:02:29,490
Thought you were supposed
to be the nice one.
68
00:02:29,510 --> 00:02:30,860
That's funny.
69
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,820
He received a clean letter from Baylor.
70
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,230
There was no negative
reports from Dallas Medical,
71
00:02:35,250 --> 00:02:37,100
nothing in the National
Practitioner's Data Bank.
72
00:02:37,110 --> 00:02:40,030
- You've got to fire him.
- On what grounds?
73
00:02:40,060 --> 00:02:42,810
Whatever grounds you come up with.
74
00:02:42,830 --> 00:02:45,120
UGH isn't Baylor-Plano.
75
00:02:45,140 --> 00:02:48,210
We don't have investors
lined up at the door.
76
00:02:48,230 --> 00:02:50,570
Hate to be crass, but
the average neurosurgeon
77
00:02:50,590 --> 00:02:53,550
is worth $2.4 million in revenue.
78
00:02:53,570 --> 00:02:56,510
Our entire mission is to
provide affordable health care
79
00:02:56,530 --> 00:02:58,400
to low-income patients
who've been turned away
80
00:02:58,420 --> 00:02:59,760
by every other hospital in the city.
81
00:02:59,770 --> 00:03:01,650
Duntsch is not the only game in town.
82
00:03:01,670 --> 00:03:03,130
I just hired him.
83
00:03:03,150 --> 00:03:06,020
If I fire him without incident,
I'll be facing a lawsuit.
84
00:03:06,030 --> 00:03:10,570
So morality equals,
what, dollars and cents?
85
00:03:10,590 --> 00:03:12,620
If you've got some kind of
personal vendetta against him,
86
00:03:12,630 --> 00:03:15,570
that's your matter, not mine.
87
00:03:15,590 --> 00:03:17,120
And you'd better be
prepared to be called
88
00:03:17,130 --> 00:03:19,700
the surgeon that turns
against his colleagues.
89
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,410
Now, I would have expected that
kind of behavior from Kirby,
90
00:03:23,430 --> 00:03:26,290
but not from someone of your stature.
91
00:03:38,470 --> 00:03:43,090
_
92
00:03:48,330 --> 00:03:50,110
- Oh!
- Oh, I'm so sorry.
93
00:03:50,130 --> 00:03:51,820
Oh.
94
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:52,950
So...
95
00:03:54,180 --> 00:03:56,870
so was he fired or was
he allowed to resign?
96
00:03:56,890 --> 00:03:59,490
That's confidential, Dr. Henderson.
97
00:03:59,510 --> 00:04:01,620
Your hospital did not report him
98
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,030
to the Texas Medical Board.
99
00:04:03,050 --> 00:04:04,770
You did not report him to the Data Bank.
100
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,850
He had temporary privileges.
101
00:04:06,870 --> 00:04:09,120
So you weren't required to.
102
00:04:09,140 --> 00:04:12,130
You called me to perform the
revision surgery on Mrs. Beyer.
103
00:04:12,150 --> 00:04:14,210
- Yes, I did.
- So you saw firsthand
104
00:04:14,230 --> 00:04:16,270
what he did to her, what
he did to Dorothy Burke.
105
00:04:16,290 --> 00:04:18,730
And after all that, Dallas
Medical let him walk away.
106
00:04:18,750 --> 00:04:20,530
They were untoward outcomes,
107
00:04:20,550 --> 00:04:21,980
and we did what we thought was best.
108
00:04:21,990 --> 00:04:24,180
Except for the patients.
109
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:28,150
Every neurosurgeon makes
mistakes, Dr. Henderson.
110
00:04:28,170 --> 00:04:30,580
Have you had complications
in your career?
111
00:04:31,970 --> 00:04:34,940
Someday the untoward
outcome could be your own.
112
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,510
And you wouldn't want a rogue doctor
113
00:04:36,530 --> 00:04:38,580
breaking up your welcome party.
114
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,000
I'll have a shot of whatever's
closest to your hand.
115
00:04:58,290 --> 00:05:00,020
I think I figured it out.
116
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,310
You wanted him under
an exclusive contract
117
00:05:04,330 --> 00:05:05,890
with your hospital.
118
00:05:05,910 --> 00:05:07,110
Someone like Duntsch,
119
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:08,580
from a program like Semmes-Murphey,
120
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,140
he's the perfect target.
Not only is he marketable,
121
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,110
but Baylor makes a profit off
of every procedure he performs.
122
00:05:14,130 --> 00:05:17,030
So if the hospital makes
significantly more money
123
00:05:17,050 --> 00:05:18,760
from the ones it owns as
opposed to the doctors
124
00:05:18,770 --> 00:05:19,950
who only have privileges,
125
00:05:19,970 --> 00:05:23,530
then it is about the goddamn
bottom line in the end, am I right?
126
00:05:30,050 --> 00:05:33,920
_
127
00:05:37,990 --> 00:05:41,250
- Got a minute?
- Oh, yes, sir. Please. Sit.
128
00:05:41,270 --> 00:05:43,430
You told me you were going to stop him.
129
00:05:45,460 --> 00:05:46,550
What are you doing here?
130
00:05:46,570 --> 00:05:47,780
They're throwing a party for him.
131
00:05:47,790 --> 00:05:49,890
Well, I know you're
frustrated, and so am I,
132
00:05:49,910 --> 00:05:51,310
but I've got it under control.
133
00:05:51,330 --> 00:05:52,730
Under control? How, exactly?
134
00:05:52,750 --> 00:05:54,630
- There's a process.
- What process?
135
00:05:54,650 --> 00:05:55,970
Mrs. Beyer could have died.
136
00:05:55,990 --> 00:05:57,610
Dorothy Burke did, she died.
137
00:05:57,630 --> 00:05:59,740
And how about that hole in
Elaine Johnson's esophagus?
138
00:05:59,750 --> 00:06:02,110
Hey, whatever it is you think
you're gonna accomplish today,
139
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:03,400
I guarantee you it's not gonna work.
140
00:06:03,410 --> 00:06:06,780
I've used every tool in this system
available to me to stop him.
141
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,990
I contacted the Medical Board.
142
00:06:09,010 --> 00:06:11,540
I filed a report. I talked with Skadden.
143
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,540
And you've accomplished nothing, Robert.
144
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,330
All of the mechanisms that are in place
145
00:06:15,350 --> 00:06:16,660
to deal with these problems have failed.
146
00:06:16,670 --> 00:06:18,010
Your system has failed.
147
00:06:18,030 --> 00:06:19,310
I've always respected you.
148
00:06:19,330 --> 00:06:21,300
I thought you were a man
of high moral standing,
149
00:06:21,310 --> 00:06:23,870
but you're just another
spoke in the wheel.
150
00:06:55,890 --> 00:06:57,250
Do I know you?
151
00:06:59,070 --> 00:07:00,530
We never met.
152
00:07:01,690 --> 00:07:02,970
Hmm.
153
00:07:04,170 --> 00:07:06,390
You look so familiar.
154
00:07:07,090 --> 00:07:09,470
Just one of those faces, I guess.
155
00:07:14,470 --> 00:07:15,690
I know you.
156
00:07:16,750 --> 00:07:20,230
Well, I am the man of the hour.
157
00:07:20,250 --> 00:07:22,910
Mind passing me a towel?
I'm out over here.
158
00:07:36,810 --> 00:07:38,550
Dr. Christopher Duntsch.
159
00:07:39,050 --> 00:07:40,500
Robert Henderson.
160
00:07:42,810 --> 00:07:44,380
Robert Henderson.
161
00:07:46,900 --> 00:07:48,970
Robert Henderson.
162
00:07:55,540 --> 00:07:59,400
You're the one who turned me
in to the Texas Medical Board.
163
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,200
I am.
164
00:08:06,050 --> 00:08:08,660
You came for me, and I'm still here.
165
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,370
Why is that?
166
00:08:10,390 --> 00:08:12,890
Well, I can't figure out if
you're just incompetent
167
00:08:12,910 --> 00:08:14,370
or you're doing all this on purpose,
168
00:08:14,390 --> 00:08:15,810
and that makes you insane.
169
00:08:17,230 --> 00:08:20,830
Did you know that people
used to say that Nikola Tesla
170
00:08:20,850 --> 00:08:23,710
was possessed by demons?
171
00:08:23,730 --> 00:08:25,920
Regular folk had to come
up with a negative label
172
00:08:25,940 --> 00:08:29,050
'cause they just couldn't
comprehend his genius.
173
00:08:29,070 --> 00:08:30,600
I've gone over all of your cases,
174
00:08:30,610 --> 00:08:34,020
and I don't see any
signs of genius at all.
175
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,700
That's because you're
staring into the sun.
176
00:08:38,270 --> 00:08:40,560
My surgeries were perfect.
177
00:08:40,580 --> 00:08:42,890
Every one.
178
00:08:42,910 --> 00:08:47,900
Now, circulating nurses, X-ray techs,
179
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:53,240
administrators, they can
all be so distracting.
180
00:08:53,260 --> 00:08:56,030
We've all had complications, right?
181
00:08:56,050 --> 00:08:58,570
Even you, Robert.
182
00:08:58,590 --> 00:09:01,380
Woodland Arp comes to mind, doesn't he?
183
00:09:04,020 --> 00:09:05,840
It's all so human, isn't it?
184
00:09:05,860 --> 00:09:09,170
You look at someone like me,
185
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,600
someone younger, smarter,
186
00:09:13,620 --> 00:09:16,230
more capable,
187
00:09:16,250 --> 00:09:19,170
just filling up all the spaces,
188
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,030
sucking up all the oxygen.
189
00:09:22,050 --> 00:09:24,860
And then there's you.
190
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:29,240
Tired, old, weak.
191
00:09:30,850 --> 00:09:33,450
I'm gonna revoke your medical license.
192
00:09:36,930 --> 00:09:41,250
Well, shit. You can try.
193
00:09:41,270 --> 00:09:42,730
Maybe you'll even succeed.
194
00:09:43,970 --> 00:09:45,670
But if you take my license in Texas,
195
00:09:45,690 --> 00:09:47,420
there's still 49 other states.
196
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,090
Hell, there's an entire world out there.
197
00:09:50,110 --> 00:09:52,110
And everybody's looking
for a good surgeon
198
00:09:52,130 --> 00:09:53,470
with good credentials.
199
00:09:55,570 --> 00:09:57,770
But if you come for me,
200
00:09:57,790 --> 00:10:01,670
you better be ready for
what I'm gonna do to you.
201
00:10:01,700 --> 00:10:04,070
I will take your money.
202
00:10:04,100 --> 00:10:06,650
I will take your career.
203
00:10:06,670 --> 00:10:11,190
I will take what little
reputation you've ever had.
204
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,170
You want to hit me?
205
00:10:16,930 --> 00:10:19,090
Go ahead, Robert.
206
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:20,870
I'm right here.
207
00:10:22,980 --> 00:10:24,670
That's what I thought. You don't...
208
00:10:54,560 --> 00:10:55,870
Hey!
209
00:10:55,900 --> 00:10:57,880
If you need a plunger,
there's one under the sink.
210
00:11:00,220 --> 00:11:01,960
We're not going to
Duntsch's welcome party.
211
00:11:01,980 --> 00:11:03,390
Come on, you gotta be shitting me.
212
00:11:03,410 --> 00:11:05,770
- What the hell happened in here?
- It's not gonna work.
213
00:11:05,790 --> 00:11:08,340
We've exhausted every possibility.
214
00:11:09,730 --> 00:11:11,250
So what do you wanna do?
215
00:11:11,270 --> 00:11:12,520
You wanna roll over on your back,
216
00:11:12,530 --> 00:11:14,350
put your little paws up in the air?
217
00:11:59,790 --> 00:12:02,130
_
218
00:12:04,790 --> 00:12:07,270
- Afternoon.
- Good afternoon, Doctor.
219
00:12:07,290 --> 00:12:09,910
Everyone in here today get a
chance to meet Dr. Duntsch?
220
00:12:09,930 --> 00:12:12,200
- Welcome, Dr. Duntsch.
- I just wanna say how thankful I am
221
00:12:12,210 --> 00:12:15,990
to have each and every
one of you on my team.
222
00:12:18,390 --> 00:12:23,040
Today, we're gonna do a
TLIF at the L4-L5 level.
223
00:12:23,060 --> 00:12:24,390
It's gonna be challenging
for me to do a surgery
224
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,750
from over here, Dr. Duntsch.
225
00:12:26,770 --> 00:12:30,080
Perhaps you'd allow me to
squeeze in right there,
226
00:12:30,100 --> 00:12:32,380
since you're assisting.
227
00:12:37,370 --> 00:12:38,610
Scalpel.
228
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:42,850
Scalpel.
229
00:12:44,410 --> 00:12:45,930
I'm gonna need a scalpel, Dr. Duntsch.
230
00:12:54,090 --> 00:12:57,330
I thought that you were going
to be observing my surgeries.
231
00:12:57,350 --> 00:12:58,370
Why is that?
232
00:12:59,730 --> 00:13:01,590
Because that's what you
told me in my interview.
233
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,000
Oh, well, apologies for
your misunderstanding.
234
00:13:05,020 --> 00:13:06,570
Bovie.
235
00:13:06,590 --> 00:13:08,250
I didn't...
236
00:13:08,270 --> 00:13:10,850
- misunderstand anything.
- If it's all the same to you,
237
00:13:10,870 --> 00:13:12,440
we should have this
conversation at a later,
238
00:13:12,450 --> 00:13:14,510
more appropriate time, Dr. Duntsch.
239
00:13:14,530 --> 00:13:15,880
Retractor.
240
00:13:17,660 --> 00:13:19,640
How long until I'm doing
my own surgeries?
241
00:13:19,660 --> 00:13:22,470
Well, I guess we're having
this conversation right now.
242
00:13:22,490 --> 00:13:25,890
Dr. Sompura is one of
my finest surgeons.
243
00:13:25,910 --> 00:13:27,630
He assisted me for three years,
244
00:13:27,650 --> 00:13:30,050
plus an additional two years
under my supervision
245
00:13:30,070 --> 00:13:32,690
prior to his performing solo procedures.
246
00:13:32,710 --> 00:13:35,190
Five years? I graduated top of my class.
247
00:13:35,210 --> 00:13:37,210
Oh, I'm quite aware of
your qualifications.
248
00:13:37,230 --> 00:13:38,820
You've reminded me several times.
249
00:13:38,830 --> 00:13:41,590
That's why you were hired.
250
00:13:41,620 --> 00:13:45,870
This is where you hone
your education to skills.
251
00:13:47,060 --> 00:13:48,290
I need to concentrate.
252
00:13:48,310 --> 00:13:49,830
So if you're not prepared to assist,
253
00:13:49,850 --> 00:13:52,370
please step outside.
254
00:13:52,390 --> 00:13:55,250
I can finish on my own. Suction, please.
255
00:14:02,890 --> 00:14:04,200
You don't need to worry about it.
256
00:14:04,210 --> 00:14:06,130
He just wants you to get
your sea legs under you.
257
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:08,930
It makes sense.
258
00:14:10,250 --> 00:14:12,640
Come on down here and let's eat.
259
00:14:12,660 --> 00:14:14,290
You're the one who is
so desperately hungry.
260
00:14:14,300 --> 00:14:16,710
- Yeah, I'm almost done.
- What do you want?
261
00:14:16,730 --> 00:14:18,810
The chow mein or the fried rice?
262
00:14:20,170 --> 00:14:23,490
Looks good. Um, Kung Pao.
263
00:14:30,830 --> 00:14:33,150
We need to get the fish tank started.
264
00:14:33,170 --> 00:14:36,090
I was thinking something exotic.
265
00:14:36,110 --> 00:14:38,470
You should be writing this stuff down.
266
00:14:38,500 --> 00:14:40,180
I'm eating.
267
00:14:41,690 --> 00:14:44,530
We need art for the walls as well.
268
00:14:44,550 --> 00:14:45,840
Expensive art.
269
00:14:45,860 --> 00:14:49,060
From that... uh, damn.
270
00:14:50,580 --> 00:14:51,840
What's the name of that fancy gallery?
271
00:14:51,850 --> 00:14:56,320
- Um, the mall guy? Kinkade?
- No. No. The mall guy.
272
00:14:56,340 --> 00:14:57,690
Sotheby's.
273
00:14:57,710 --> 00:15:00,000
We need at least two or three
pieces of art from Sotheby's.
274
00:15:00,010 --> 00:15:01,800
And I want you to coordinate
with Jerry about the floors
275
00:15:01,810 --> 00:15:04,400
'cause I don't want any of
that cheap-ass vinyl shit.
276
00:15:04,420 --> 00:15:06,750
I want it wall-to-wall marble.
277
00:15:06,770 --> 00:15:09,290
I want the patients to feel
like they're walking on glass.
278
00:15:09,310 --> 00:15:10,620
Is that okay for people with bad backs?
279
00:15:10,630 --> 00:15:12,640
Because I want the patients
wowing when they come in.
280
00:15:12,650 --> 00:15:14,830
You know, like they just
walked into Graceland.
281
00:15:14,850 --> 00:15:16,360
You sure you wanna do
all this right away?
282
00:15:16,370 --> 00:15:19,390
- It's gonna get expensive quick.
- Wendy, when a patient is choosing
283
00:15:19,410 --> 00:15:22,070
between me and Dr. O'Connor
with a boring office,
284
00:15:22,090 --> 00:15:23,830
who do you think they're
gonna choose, okay?
285
00:15:23,860 --> 00:15:25,230
Which one are they going to remember?
286
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,330
Trust me, it's gonna pay for itself.
287
00:15:27,350 --> 00:15:29,480
And I don't need to get my sea legs.
288
00:15:31,150 --> 00:15:32,270
What?
289
00:15:34,030 --> 00:15:35,770
I know how to operate.
290
00:15:35,790 --> 00:15:37,740
- I get it.
- So fuck Bishara.
291
00:15:38,430 --> 00:15:39,750
Fuck Bishara.
292
00:15:52,870 --> 00:15:54,330
You ever thought of nursing school?
293
00:15:56,510 --> 00:15:57,920
No.
294
00:15:57,940 --> 00:15:59,880
I thought that was
every stripper's dream,
295
00:15:59,900 --> 00:16:01,560
to pay for nursing school.
296
00:16:03,210 --> 00:16:05,550
I don't do that anymore.
297
00:16:05,570 --> 00:16:07,810
I'm not saying it in a bad way.
298
00:16:07,830 --> 00:16:11,100
I just think you have potential.
299
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:12,170
I think you're amazing.
300
00:16:12,190 --> 00:16:14,110
You're smart, smarter
than half the nurses
301
00:16:14,130 --> 00:16:15,230
I've ever worked with.
302
00:16:19,630 --> 00:16:20,790
What?
303
00:16:22,330 --> 00:16:24,570
Okay, then if not nursing, then what?
304
00:16:24,590 --> 00:16:26,080
What is it that you want to do?
305
00:16:27,410 --> 00:16:28,740
Honestly?
306
00:16:30,750 --> 00:16:32,490
I just want to be a mom.
307
00:16:33,650 --> 00:16:36,120
Making school lunches,
308
00:16:36,140 --> 00:16:38,870
giving them those cute, little
fruit cups for their snack
309
00:16:38,890 --> 00:16:42,170
or...
310
00:16:42,190 --> 00:16:43,960
I don't know, maybe
even homeschool them.
311
00:16:49,860 --> 00:16:51,260
I know it's old-fashioned,
312
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,970
but my Aunt Josephine,
the one that lives in Ferris,
313
00:16:53,990 --> 00:16:57,600
she did it, and all of her kids
are in college now, so...
314
00:17:03,030 --> 00:17:05,700
I just...
315
00:17:07,470 --> 00:17:08,530
What?
316
00:17:10,830 --> 00:17:13,200
I guess I just thought you had
317
00:17:13,220 --> 00:17:15,710
so much more potential, you know?
318
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:19,830
You know, I think you're amazing.
319
00:17:19,850 --> 00:17:22,030
You're basically the pinnacle
of human evolution.
320
00:17:22,050 --> 00:17:24,220
Two X chromosomes. Plus, you're smart.
321
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:25,570
You keep telling me I'm smart
322
00:17:25,590 --> 00:17:26,980
like you're trying to convince
yourself that I am.
323
00:17:26,990 --> 00:17:28,040
I'm trying to be supportive.
324
00:17:28,050 --> 00:17:29,810
- It feels manipulative.
- Manipulative?
325
00:17:29,830 --> 00:17:31,900
You didn't say anything
about me becoming a nurse
326
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:32,930
when we were in Memphis.
327
00:17:32,950 --> 00:17:34,930
And now all of a sudden we're here...
328
00:17:34,950 --> 00:17:36,340
- I'm just trying to help you out.
- You got this fancy new clinic...
329
00:17:36,350 --> 00:17:37,940
- You're blowing this way out of proportion.
- And you're trying to force me
330
00:17:37,950 --> 00:17:40,090
to go to nursing school.
Don't point your fork at me!
331
00:17:42,070 --> 00:17:43,610
Are you embarrassed by me, Chris?
332
00:17:43,630 --> 00:17:46,250
Of course not. I'm just
making a suggestion.
333
00:17:47,550 --> 00:17:49,870
I'm just trying to help you out.
334
00:17:54,260 --> 00:17:56,700
Wendy, come on. Just...
335
00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:02,290
- No. It's fine.
- Okay. Hey.
336
00:18:07,170 --> 00:18:11,680
You know what? You're right. I'm sorry.
337
00:18:11,700 --> 00:18:14,990
Forget I said anything. I just...
338
00:18:15,020 --> 00:18:18,310
I'm wrong. I'm sorry.
339
00:18:21,450 --> 00:18:24,150
I'm sorry.
340
00:18:30,450 --> 00:18:32,280
I'm sorry.
341
00:18:50,140 --> 00:18:52,810
_
342
00:18:52,830 --> 00:18:54,970
Where do you see yourself in five years?
343
00:18:58,430 --> 00:19:00,560
What's next? "What's
my greatest weakness?"
344
00:19:00,580 --> 00:19:02,860
That was gonna be my third question.
345
00:19:06,550 --> 00:19:09,110
When I was looking for
space for my clinic,
346
00:19:09,130 --> 00:19:12,610
I saw this vacant, eight-story
building over on Frankford.
347
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,110
It wasn't much, needs a lot of work,
348
00:19:14,130 --> 00:19:15,780
but I want to turn it
349
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,700
into a multibillion-dollar
neurosurgical center.
350
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,030
Everything state-of-the-art
and all in-house.
351
00:19:22,050 --> 00:19:25,590
Diagnostics, surgery,
PT, nutrition, the works.
352
00:19:25,610 --> 00:19:27,010
In five years?
353
00:19:27,030 --> 00:19:28,920
Meteoric rise, wouldn't you say?
354
00:19:28,940 --> 00:19:31,030
I thought that was a
conservative estimate.
355
00:19:31,050 --> 00:19:34,090
Fortunately for MISI,
Dr. Skadden didn't lock you up.
356
00:19:34,120 --> 00:19:36,380
Dr. Skadden is an amazing doctor
357
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,260
and a great friend and mentor.
358
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:39,330
And for sure,
359
00:19:39,350 --> 00:19:41,570
the easy path for me would
have been to stay in Memphis.
360
00:19:41,590 --> 00:19:46,640
But I wanted to challenge
myself, expand my horizons.
361
00:19:46,660 --> 00:19:49,530
Plus, I was getting recruited
from New York, San Diego,
362
00:19:49,550 --> 00:19:50,820
even UCLA.
363
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,700
How do you like working
with Dr. Bishara?
364
00:19:55,140 --> 00:19:58,080
He has a very particular
way of doing things.
365
00:19:58,100 --> 00:20:00,530
I know he's partial to
keeping the training wheels
366
00:20:00,550 --> 00:20:02,830
on all his surgeons.
367
00:20:02,850 --> 00:20:05,210
It would be nice to be
doing my own surgeries.
368
00:20:05,230 --> 00:20:07,920
Sure. Otherwise, what's the point
of paying you all that money?
369
00:20:07,940 --> 00:20:10,040
MISI is a fine institution.
370
00:20:10,060 --> 00:20:11,670
And please don't take
this the wrong way,
371
00:20:11,690 --> 00:20:13,450
but I think for someone
of your pedigree,
372
00:20:13,470 --> 00:20:14,840
it's a step backwards.
373
00:20:14,860 --> 00:20:17,720
You've studied under some of
the best surgeons in the world.
374
00:20:17,740 --> 00:20:20,530
Your work at DiscGenics
seems groundbreaking.
375
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,090
You've been in contact with DiscGenics.
376
00:20:25,120 --> 00:20:26,690
We reached out.
377
00:20:28,550 --> 00:20:31,480
They said you stepped away from
your day-to-day obligations,
378
00:20:31,500 --> 00:20:32,990
but you're still a board member.
379
00:20:35,030 --> 00:20:37,450
Lucky for us, you did.
380
00:20:37,470 --> 00:20:39,650
You should join the Baylor family.
381
00:20:41,010 --> 00:20:43,080
We're better suited for you than MISI.
382
00:20:44,950 --> 00:20:47,630
Well, MISI recruited me.
383
00:20:47,650 --> 00:20:51,350
I guess that call from Baylor
must have got lost in the mail.
384
00:20:51,370 --> 00:20:52,970
That was our mistake.
385
00:20:52,990 --> 00:20:54,290
I admit it.
386
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,630
But the timing couldn't
be more perfect for you.
387
00:20:56,650 --> 00:20:59,370
We're in the process
of new accreditation.
388
00:20:59,390 --> 00:21:02,030
The plan is to offer an even wider array
389
00:21:02,050 --> 00:21:03,480
of surgical services.
390
00:21:03,500 --> 00:21:06,280
We're expanding our network
of hospitals around Texas
391
00:21:06,300 --> 00:21:09,650
and need to recruit top
surgeons to handle the influx.
392
00:21:09,670 --> 00:21:14,890
So from my perspective,
you're central to our plans,
393
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,320
and we can be to yours.
394
00:21:16,970 --> 00:21:19,900
I'm under contract.
395
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,740
If your hesitation is about
the 600,000 advance
396
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,580
MISI gave you,
I wouldn't worry about it.
397
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:25,910
Well, I don't exactly have
398
00:21:25,930 --> 00:21:27,260
that kind of money just laying around.
399
00:21:27,270 --> 00:21:29,000
We have a relationship with Frost Bank.
400
00:21:29,020 --> 00:21:31,230
They can set you up with
a loan to help pay it off
401
00:21:31,250 --> 00:21:32,500
and cover the expenses
402
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,380
associated with opening a clinic.
403
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,270
I'm still not seeing the fine print.
404
00:21:39,110 --> 00:21:42,670
I'm gonna lift the velvet
rope for you, okay?
405
00:21:42,690 --> 00:21:45,010
You're gonna be successful here.
406
00:21:45,030 --> 00:21:48,140
Whatever you need,
just make it known to me.
407
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,170
We have marketing consultants
to help build your brand,
408
00:21:51,190 --> 00:21:53,470
expand your business.
409
00:21:53,490 --> 00:21:56,370
Obviously, we can't
point patients your way,
410
00:21:56,390 --> 00:21:58,740
but we help you draw them in.
411
00:21:59,570 --> 00:22:03,240
If everything goes as I imagine it will,
412
00:22:03,260 --> 00:22:07,750
one day, you'll be chief
of neurological surgery.
413
00:22:13,190 --> 00:22:15,560
I can't be married to
just one institution.
414
00:22:15,570 --> 00:22:17,960
I have to be free to
pursue my own interests.
415
00:22:17,980 --> 00:22:19,730
Seems to me you're
looking for a springboard
416
00:22:19,750 --> 00:22:21,840
to launch your career.
417
00:22:21,860 --> 00:22:25,180
What better place to do
that than Big Baylor?
418
00:22:31,370 --> 00:22:33,110
One day, your name's gonna be up there
419
00:22:33,130 --> 00:22:35,230
for all the world to see.
420
00:22:43,810 --> 00:22:46,030
I assume you're a sports fan?
421
00:22:51,270 --> 00:22:54,870
- America's Snoretime.
- Come on, Jerry.
422
00:22:54,890 --> 00:22:56,300
This was very generous.
423
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,420
You said she had a picture
of Cuban in her office?
424
00:22:58,440 --> 00:22:59,480
- Mm-hmm.
- Think she can score
425
00:22:59,490 --> 00:23:01,810
tickets to the Mavs in the fall?
426
00:23:01,830 --> 00:23:03,630
Oh, beer's me.
427
00:23:03,650 --> 00:23:06,180
- Salty Jack is the lady.
- Dom for me.
428
00:23:06,990 --> 00:23:08,930
To Baylor.
429
00:23:08,950 --> 00:23:10,970
You're taking the job, Chrissy.
430
00:23:10,990 --> 00:23:12,810
You're definitely taking the job.
431
00:23:12,830 --> 00:23:15,520
- I don't know yet, Jer.
- Come on, horsey.
432
00:23:15,540 --> 00:23:17,750
This is the biggest no-brainer
since brains were invented.
433
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,250
Dude, you're Baylor's
number-one draft pick,
434
00:23:20,270 --> 00:23:21,580
and you even have the
arm candy to prove it.
435
00:23:21,590 --> 00:23:23,610
Are you flirting with me, Jerry?
436
00:23:23,630 --> 00:23:25,290
You're out of my league, but it's okay.
437
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:26,540
One day, I'll find my Wendy.
438
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,070
When you find the right girl,
439
00:23:28,090 --> 00:23:30,670
all the strip clubs in Dallas
are gonna go out of business.
440
00:23:30,690 --> 00:23:32,040
Truth.
441
00:23:32,060 --> 00:23:33,250
But seriously,
442
00:23:33,270 --> 00:23:36,120
dude, do you have any idea how much
Baylor's gonna make off of you?
443
00:23:36,140 --> 00:23:38,960
Those billboards, all that
shit generates business.
444
00:23:38,980 --> 00:23:40,780
They don't put any punk-ass
doctor up on there,
445
00:23:40,790 --> 00:23:41,800
only the superstars.
446
00:23:41,820 --> 00:23:43,760
Wendy, can I get an amen?
447
00:23:43,770 --> 00:23:47,110
- I don't get it.
- Get what?
448
00:23:47,130 --> 00:23:50,310
The billboard, this box, the everything.
449
00:23:50,330 --> 00:23:51,770
It just seems fast, is all.
450
00:23:51,790 --> 00:23:53,810
Not fast enough for my boy-genius.
451
00:23:53,830 --> 00:23:55,280
He's got that Brad Pitt thing going on.
452
00:23:55,290 --> 00:23:57,060
Well, pump the brakes.
453
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,150
Your boy's a lot of things,
but he's not Brad Pitt.
454
00:23:59,170 --> 00:24:02,190
- Ooh. Ouch, a hater.
- I'm just asking.
455
00:24:02,210 --> 00:24:04,110
Wendy, when life gives you lemonade,
456
00:24:04,130 --> 00:24:05,450
don't make fucking lemons.
457
00:24:05,470 --> 00:24:08,250
The more surgeries Chris does,
the more elite he becomes,
458
00:24:08,270 --> 00:24:09,690
the more money they generate.
459
00:24:09,710 --> 00:24:11,750
I don't even have the
clinic up and running yet.
460
00:24:11,770 --> 00:24:15,920
And I still have to hire a
PA. Still need my Bonnie.
461
00:24:15,940 --> 00:24:18,370
Dr. Bishara sent over a
list of recommendations.
462
00:24:18,390 --> 00:24:20,060
I'll start setting up
interviews in the morning.
463
00:24:20,070 --> 00:24:23,430
- Jerry on the spot.
- Okay.
464
00:24:23,450 --> 00:24:27,910
So I was gonna wait until we had
the articles of incorporation,
465
00:24:27,930 --> 00:24:29,140
but screw it.
466
00:24:33,250 --> 00:24:35,020
- Did you make this?
- _
467
00:24:35,030 --> 00:24:36,050
Yeah.
468
00:24:36,660 --> 00:24:37,820
I love it.
469
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,770
- Really?
- It's so good, Jerry.
470
00:24:40,790 --> 00:24:42,900
- Thanks.
- You know, that reminds me,
471
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,650
I haven't hired a
marketing director yet.
472
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,490
You know, someone to promote the clinic.
473
00:24:47,510 --> 00:24:49,490
- I'll put a list together.
- No. You know what?
474
00:24:49,510 --> 00:24:51,080
- I think I found the guy.
- Word.
475
00:24:51,100 --> 00:24:53,330
Give me his contact
info. I'll reach out.
476
00:24:53,350 --> 00:24:57,470
Mm. Okay, so his name...
477
00:24:57,500 --> 00:25:00,090
is Jerry Summers.
478
00:25:01,700 --> 00:25:03,380
You fucking with me?
479
00:25:04,570 --> 00:25:05,840
Oh, my God. Are you serious?
480
00:25:05,860 --> 00:25:09,090
- You just got a promotion!
- Holy shit, dude!
481
00:25:09,110 --> 00:25:11,390
Oh, my God. I won't
let you down. I swear.
482
00:25:11,410 --> 00:25:13,140
I'll make cards,
I'll make flyers, everything.
483
00:25:13,150 --> 00:25:15,330
I've even got this dope-ass
idea for a killer website,
484
00:25:15,350 --> 00:25:16,400
got a guy who can build it.
485
00:25:16,410 --> 00:25:19,190
- That's what I like to hear.
- So...
486
00:25:20,270 --> 00:25:21,900
Baylor?
487
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,870
What's it gonna be, Chrissy?
You gonna nut up or what?
488
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,700
Here's to Jerry Summers,
Executive Marketing Director,
489
00:25:28,340 --> 00:25:30,890
and here's to Baylor-Plano, bitches!
490
00:25:30,910 --> 00:25:32,740
- Whoo!
- Yeah!
491
00:25:35,020 --> 00:25:37,510
_
492
00:25:57,710 --> 00:25:59,690
- Hey.
- Hey.
493
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,850
We're supposed to have
lunch with Dr. Isaacs today.
494
00:26:04,870 --> 00:26:06,440
But one of my procedures
got rescheduled,
495
00:26:06,450 --> 00:26:09,070
so can you call him and
tell him I'm gonna be late?
496
00:26:09,090 --> 00:26:11,950
And Medtronics was gonna
deliver all their screws.
497
00:26:11,970 --> 00:26:13,560
I might not be back in time; if I'm not,
498
00:26:13,570 --> 00:26:16,150
can you just sign for it and
have them leave all there?
499
00:26:16,180 --> 00:26:18,270
- Mm-hmm.
- Great.
500
00:26:18,290 --> 00:26:20,040
What's up? What's wrong?
501
00:26:23,970 --> 00:26:25,250
What is it, Wendy?
502
00:26:26,590 --> 00:26:28,090
What?
503
00:26:30,290 --> 00:26:32,510
B-A-B-Y.
504
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:37,850
Are you serious?
505
00:26:39,210 --> 00:26:41,060
How?
506
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:42,560
A stork fucked me.
507
00:26:45,700 --> 00:26:46,740
Are you sure?
508
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,690
- I took a test. Twice.
- Well...
509
00:26:50,710 --> 00:26:53,740
They give false positives.
That could be a bad batch.
510
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:56,870
Okay.
511
00:26:58,650 --> 00:27:01,070
You're not happy?
512
00:27:01,090 --> 00:27:04,120
Of course I am. It's just big news.
513
00:27:04,140 --> 00:27:07,090
Honestly, I'm a little hungover today.
514
00:27:07,110 --> 00:27:12,010
And I can't be late, but I
am over the moon with joy.
515
00:27:12,030 --> 00:27:14,510
When I get back, we can celebrate.
516
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,250
_
517
00:28:31,670 --> 00:28:33,730
_
518
00:28:34,500 --> 00:28:37,130
_
519
00:28:54,150 --> 00:28:57,080
_
520
00:28:57,110 --> 00:29:00,120
_
521
00:29:00,150 --> 00:29:04,550
_
522
00:29:09,620 --> 00:29:13,770
_
523
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:17,720
_
524
00:29:17,750 --> 00:29:20,510
_
525
00:29:21,590 --> 00:29:23,050
_
526
00:29:34,210 --> 00:29:35,790
You have a doctorate.
527
00:29:35,810 --> 00:29:37,910
- Mind if I call you doctor?
- Kim will do.
528
00:29:40,690 --> 00:29:43,120
You last worked for Dr. George Clondike,
529
00:29:43,140 --> 00:29:44,340
but only for a couple months. Why?
530
00:29:44,350 --> 00:29:47,290
- Know him?
- No. I'm new in town.
531
00:29:47,310 --> 00:29:49,210
He's an ortho-oncologist and an ass,
532
00:29:49,230 --> 00:29:51,210
and that's the nicest thing
I can say about him.
533
00:29:51,230 --> 00:29:53,590
What happened?
534
00:29:53,610 --> 00:29:55,750
Uh...
535
00:29:55,770 --> 00:29:57,190
I'm not even trying
to get into all that,
536
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:58,800
but it was a shit-show.
537
00:29:58,820 --> 00:30:00,260
Pardon my French.
538
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,100
So I quit and went straight
to Padre for some R&R.
539
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,010
And Dr. Bishara called and told me
540
00:30:05,030 --> 00:30:06,790
you were looking for a
physician's assistant.
541
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,560
Yes, he speaks very highly of you.
542
00:30:08,580 --> 00:30:11,470
I just do my job very well.
543
00:30:12,500 --> 00:30:14,200
You also worked for a
neurosurgeon before.
544
00:30:14,220 --> 00:30:16,400
- How was that experience?
- We got divorced.
545
00:30:17,510 --> 00:30:19,330
You married your neurosurgeon?
546
00:30:19,350 --> 00:30:20,450
Interesting.
547
00:30:20,470 --> 00:30:22,990
They're not that interesting.
548
00:30:23,990 --> 00:30:26,960
You just haven't met the right one yet.
549
00:30:28,390 --> 00:30:29,970
So what happened?
550
00:30:29,990 --> 00:30:33,380
- What happened with what?
- You said you got divorced.
551
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:34,850
Are you asking why I'm
not working with him
552
00:30:34,860 --> 00:30:35,880
or why I got divorced?
553
00:30:35,900 --> 00:30:37,470
Why you got divorced.
554
00:30:38,790 --> 00:30:40,420
Sounds like an unprofessional question
555
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:41,640
for a professional interview.
556
00:30:42,670 --> 00:30:44,850
You're the one that brought it up.
557
00:30:47,310 --> 00:30:48,980
It got stale.
558
00:30:49,850 --> 00:30:52,700
I needed excitement in my life.
559
00:30:55,470 --> 00:30:57,070
Buy one, get one at Target.
560
00:31:06,060 --> 00:31:07,670
So what do you know about me?
561
00:31:09,170 --> 00:31:10,950
You graduated top of your class
562
00:31:10,970 --> 00:31:12,500
from University of Tennessee
563
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,670
where you received a PhD and MD.
564
00:31:14,690 --> 00:31:17,400
While in the program, you also
became the majority shareholder
565
00:31:17,430 --> 00:31:19,380
and Chief Science Officer at DiscGenics.
566
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,460
The research you've done on stem cells
567
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,140
is gonna change the face of
spinal surgery as we know it.
568
00:31:24,990 --> 00:31:26,590
At least according to you.
569
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,150
Yeah, I don't sleep much.
570
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,100
My philosophy on the current
state of neurosurgery
571
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:34,610
is that it's primitive.
572
00:31:34,630 --> 00:31:36,190
It is, of course,
573
00:31:36,210 --> 00:31:38,190
every surgeon's goal never to operate.
574
00:31:38,210 --> 00:31:39,930
But so long as humans have bodies,
575
00:31:39,950 --> 00:31:42,440
spinal surgeries are gonna be necessary.
576
00:31:42,460 --> 00:31:44,320
I want to modernize it.
577
00:31:44,340 --> 00:31:46,020
What's the point of
removing a diseased disc
578
00:31:46,030 --> 00:31:48,160
if you can use a stem
cell to regenerate it?
579
00:31:48,180 --> 00:31:49,920
You're either really
smart or really crazy,
580
00:31:49,940 --> 00:31:52,270
but if you pull it off,
581
00:31:52,290 --> 00:31:54,500
that's one hell of an achievement.
582
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,880
So how is that for interesting?
583
00:31:59,330 --> 00:32:01,760
I'll give you my answer
if I get the job.
584
00:32:03,410 --> 00:32:06,590
You see, that's why I need a
PA who can keep up with me.
585
00:32:06,610 --> 00:32:08,140
'Cause I'm like the "USS Enterprise"
586
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:09,240
moving at warp speed eight,
587
00:32:09,250 --> 00:32:10,290
and I need a Number One
588
00:32:10,310 --> 00:32:11,690
who can help me navigate the ship.
589
00:32:13,380 --> 00:32:14,570
I don't know what any of that means,
590
00:32:14,580 --> 00:32:16,370
but I'll give you this one for free.
591
00:32:17,450 --> 00:32:20,070
Your clinic is being run
by a bunch of dummies.
592
00:32:25,350 --> 00:32:27,740
And who is this guy?
593
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:28,950
Jerry Summers,
594
00:32:28,970 --> 00:32:30,950
uh, Executive Director of Marketing.
595
00:32:30,970 --> 00:32:35,000
So what do you do, like,
hand out flyers or something?
596
00:32:35,020 --> 00:32:36,130
Well, yeah.
597
00:32:36,150 --> 00:32:38,630
But I'm also his website
guy. I'm building it.
598
00:32:38,650 --> 00:32:41,630
Not my personal self, but I hired a guy.
599
00:32:42,330 --> 00:32:44,880
So you're the website guy,
but not the website guy.
600
00:32:44,900 --> 00:32:48,130
- I'm the guy that...
- Jerry helps out around the office.
601
00:32:48,150 --> 00:32:50,950
Okay, so you got this...
602
00:32:50,970 --> 00:32:54,730
fake website marketing guy,
and I'm sorry... but not sorry...
603
00:32:54,750 --> 00:32:56,300
your front desk girl is rude
604
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:57,700
and doesn't have basic office etiquette.
605
00:32:57,710 --> 00:32:59,210
Her name is Wendy Young,
606
00:32:59,230 --> 00:33:01,900
- and she's a pretty good...
- She's a temp.
607
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:03,210
She was with us in Memphis
608
00:33:03,230 --> 00:33:06,320
and wanted to move to Dallas
to be closer to her husband.
609
00:33:06,340 --> 00:33:07,380
But don't worry, she's pregnant.
610
00:33:07,390 --> 00:33:08,670
She's not gonna be here very long.
611
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:10,740
You need at least two
people working the desk.
612
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:12,160
One to do phones and scheduling,
613
00:33:12,180 --> 00:33:14,010
the other to handle
all the intake stuff.
614
00:33:14,030 --> 00:33:16,380
I know a couple of girls
that'll be perfect.
615
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,530
And, dude, those construction guys
616
00:33:18,550 --> 00:33:20,880
are not gonna be done before you open.
617
00:33:20,890 --> 00:33:22,840
I get it.
618
00:33:22,860 --> 00:33:24,350
You're a whip.
619
00:33:24,370 --> 00:33:25,980
You're the type of person
who's gonna come in here
620
00:33:25,990 --> 00:33:27,640
and make this place work.
621
00:33:29,270 --> 00:33:30,840
I'm more like a hammer.
622
00:33:32,090 --> 00:33:33,890
But I get what you're saying.
623
00:33:33,910 --> 00:33:35,520
My references are on the second page.
624
00:33:35,540 --> 00:33:37,260
You can call any of them and
they'll tell you the same thing.
625
00:33:37,270 --> 00:33:39,890
You know, I'm more of a gut guy.
626
00:33:39,910 --> 00:33:42,860
I used to play football back
in college, all-American.
627
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,990
Coach was always telling us,
the one thing in the world
628
00:33:46,010 --> 00:33:49,700
that will never lie to
you, your instincts.
629
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:51,660
That's kind of how I operate.
630
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,160
So what's your instinct telling you?
631
00:33:57,730 --> 00:34:00,460
- She's a stone-cold bitch.
- I like her.
632
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,640
Doesn't bother you she was
married to her neurosurgeon?
633
00:34:02,650 --> 00:34:04,340
She gives off that money-digger vibe.
634
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,670
- Gold digger.
- Mm, money digger.
635
00:34:06,690 --> 00:34:08,590
No one digs for gold anymore.
636
00:34:08,610 --> 00:34:11,550
When were you gonna
tell me about the baby?
637
00:34:11,570 --> 00:34:13,090
You know, just didn't come up.
638
00:34:13,110 --> 00:34:14,850
Well, that's great news.
639
00:34:14,870 --> 00:34:17,110
You, Wendy, baby.
640
00:34:17,130 --> 00:34:18,930
I'm happy for you all.
641
00:34:18,950 --> 00:34:21,320
Why did you say all
that shit about Wendy?
642
00:34:21,340 --> 00:34:22,510
What shit?
643
00:34:23,650 --> 00:34:24,680
She's just a temp,
644
00:34:24,700 --> 00:34:26,780
she's married to some guy in Memphis?
645
00:34:28,630 --> 00:34:30,070
"Oh, hello, Dr. Morgan.
646
00:34:30,090 --> 00:34:32,090
"Welcome to our
state-of-the-art facility.
647
00:34:32,110 --> 00:34:33,290
"For your information,
648
00:34:33,310 --> 00:34:35,170
"our secretary used to be a stripper.
649
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:36,840
Would you still be interested
in the position?"
650
00:34:36,850 --> 00:34:38,670
She's about to be your baby mama.
651
00:34:38,690 --> 00:34:40,130
Who cares if she was a stripper?
652
00:34:40,150 --> 00:34:41,860
Some of the best people
I know are strippers.
653
00:34:41,870 --> 00:34:44,350
Huh. Everybody you know is a stripper.
654
00:34:45,490 --> 00:34:47,250
Besides,
655
00:34:47,270 --> 00:34:49,510
Kim said she had two other
candidates for the positions.
656
00:34:49,530 --> 00:34:52,590
Chris, you know me.
I've always been supportive.
657
00:34:52,610 --> 00:34:54,180
Don't fuck it up with Wendy.
658
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,350
What is that supposed to mean?
659
00:34:56,370 --> 00:34:58,890
I mean, it was just me and my mom,
660
00:34:58,910 --> 00:35:00,730
you know, my whole life. No dad.
661
00:35:00,750 --> 00:35:02,500
And now I see it, this woman...
662
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,040
- Jerry.
- She's coming in all hot to trot.
663
00:35:04,050 --> 00:35:06,730
Jerry, I'm not leaving Wendy, okay?
664
00:35:06,750 --> 00:35:09,450
And I'm not leaving the baby, okay?
665
00:35:11,470 --> 00:35:14,740
Kim is ambitious, she's confident,
666
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,950
she has an impressive résumé,
667
00:35:16,970 --> 00:35:19,370
and I need the best
people working for me.
668
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,460
Kim's my physician's assistant.
669
00:35:27,810 --> 00:35:28,840
Okay.
670
00:35:36,830 --> 00:35:40,710
_
671
00:35:43,410 --> 00:35:45,560
- Mm-mm, mm-mm. Not now, not now.
- When are we gonna talk?
672
00:35:45,570 --> 00:35:47,890
Babe, not now. No! Not now.
673
00:35:47,910 --> 00:35:51,530
No, I don't give a shit.
We're having a baby.
674
00:35:51,550 --> 00:35:53,190
And you haven't said a word about it.
675
00:35:56,790 --> 00:35:58,950
Fine.
676
00:35:58,980 --> 00:36:00,880
If you wanna talk, let's talk.
677
00:36:08,950 --> 00:36:10,920
You don't want to have this baby?
678
00:36:14,070 --> 00:36:17,380
We've only been together
a couple months, Wendy.
679
00:36:18,070 --> 00:36:20,100
Sorry if I'm not lighting cigars.
680
00:36:22,210 --> 00:36:25,520
So that's it? "Wham, bam,
thank you, ma'am"?
681
00:36:25,540 --> 00:36:27,150
No.
682
00:36:27,170 --> 00:36:31,650
Look, I don't expect
you to fully grasp this,
683
00:36:31,670 --> 00:36:33,740
but everything that I'm doing
684
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:39,160
will help you live past
your wildest dreams.
685
00:36:39,180 --> 00:36:42,790
I have a plan.
686
00:36:42,810 --> 00:36:48,090
All I need is for you to
go to nursing school.
687
00:36:48,110 --> 00:36:49,550
You fucking kidding me?
688
00:36:50,110 --> 00:36:51,890
I'm not an accessory
689
00:36:51,910 --> 00:36:53,460
- in Chris's world.
- Wendy, give me a break.
690
00:36:53,470 --> 00:36:56,090
You had no problem playing the
role of doctor's girlfriend,
691
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:57,620
but now when it's not working for you,
692
00:36:57,630 --> 00:36:58,790
all of a sudden it's an issue?
693
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:00,100
Nothing with you has ever worked for me.
694
00:37:00,110 --> 00:37:01,180
- It's always been on your terms.
- Oh, bullshit.
695
00:37:01,190 --> 00:37:04,180
That is fucking bullshit, Wendy.
696
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,530
I wanted to go to UCLA;
that was my first choice,
697
00:37:06,550 --> 00:37:07,660
but you're the one that
said you wouldn't move
698
00:37:07,670 --> 00:37:09,820
unless we came to Dallas
because of your aunt in Ferris.
699
00:37:09,830 --> 00:37:11,370
So don't pretend like it's been me
700
00:37:11,390 --> 00:37:13,440
just dragging you along
for this whole ride.
701
00:37:13,460 --> 00:37:15,330
- You're blaming me?
- Oh, Jesus!
702
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:16,850
Can you not play the victim?
703
00:37:16,870 --> 00:37:19,030
Just try it. See what happens.
704
00:37:19,050 --> 00:37:21,070
You're the one who wanted a boyfriend
705
00:37:21,100 --> 00:37:23,680
who could buy your shoes and
your perfume and your makeup
706
00:37:23,700 --> 00:37:25,470
and pay your rent and
whatever the fuck else.
707
00:37:25,500 --> 00:37:28,420
And you know what?
Congratulations, you got it.
708
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,460
You won in life.
You got what you wanted.
709
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,920
But life is a double-edged
fucking sword.
710
00:37:33,940 --> 00:37:37,930
This is what it's like to
date a god. Keep up.
711
00:37:37,950 --> 00:37:40,380
You might be able to hustle these
stuffy, buttoned-up assholes,
712
00:37:40,390 --> 00:37:42,560
but not me. I know you're a fraud,
713
00:37:42,580 --> 00:37:44,530
always acting like you know
everything, but you don't.
714
00:37:44,540 --> 00:37:46,770
You can't even keep a job.
715
00:37:48,500 --> 00:37:50,190
What the fuck does that mean?
716
00:37:50,210 --> 00:37:51,450
They dumped your ass out of DiscGenics.
717
00:37:51,460 --> 00:37:53,400
I'm on the board!
718
00:37:53,410 --> 00:37:55,850
"On the board" means
they're too embarrassed
719
00:37:55,870 --> 00:37:57,890
- by you to fire you!
- I made $1/2 million
720
00:37:57,910 --> 00:37:59,820
just by stepping foot in this city!
721
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:02,160
And everything that you
have is because of me!
722
00:38:02,180 --> 00:38:04,250
I picked you up out
of the fucking gutter,
723
00:38:04,270 --> 00:38:06,530
and I can throw you right
back there if I want.
724
00:38:06,550 --> 00:38:08,310
You'll end up some sagging hussy
725
00:38:08,330 --> 00:38:10,190
working the pole for chump change.
726
00:38:10,210 --> 00:38:12,510
And you know what? If I'm
being perfectly honest,
727
00:38:12,530 --> 00:38:13,900
the best thing you could probably do
728
00:38:13,910 --> 00:38:15,590
is abort that fucking baby,
729
00:38:15,620 --> 00:38:19,840
because you are not the type
of person who can raise it.
730
00:38:19,860 --> 00:38:21,680
And I'm saying that with love
731
00:38:21,700 --> 00:38:24,850
because I am trying to
help you win in life!
732
00:38:24,870 --> 00:38:26,600
- Fuck you!
- Fuck you!
733
00:38:27,870 --> 00:38:29,230
Fuck you!
734
00:38:30,540 --> 00:38:31,810
Fuck you!
735
00:38:31,830 --> 00:38:33,630
- Hey, open this... open the...
- Fuck you!
736
00:38:33,650 --> 00:38:34,760
- Fuck!
- Tex-Mex, y'all. Hey!
737
00:38:34,770 --> 00:38:36,240
- Open this door!
- Fuck you, Chris! Fuck you!
738
00:38:36,250 --> 00:38:37,590
- Ungrateful bitch!
- Hey! What the fuck?
739
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:38,610
- Open up!
- Get out!
740
00:38:38,630 --> 00:38:39,880
- Open the fuck up!
- Hey, shut the fuck up! Both of you.
741
00:38:39,890 --> 00:38:41,640
- Get out!
- Get out of my goddamn hotel room!
742
00:38:41,650 --> 00:38:43,080
- Get him out of here!
- You need to calm down.
743
00:38:43,090 --> 00:38:44,740
- Get him out!
- Fuck.
744
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:46,060
- All right. Cool it, bro.
- Get off of me!
745
00:38:46,070 --> 00:38:47,070
- Cool it, bro.
- Get off of me!
746
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:48,670
All right. What the hell happened?
747
00:38:48,690 --> 00:38:52,830
Hey, we have to talk about this, okay?
748
00:39:15,170 --> 00:39:16,900
Oh, fuck.
749
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,950
Ah, fuck.
750
00:39:21,970 --> 00:39:23,780
Oh, fuck.
751
00:39:45,630 --> 00:39:49,650
Hopefully, in the future, you stay away
752
00:39:49,670 --> 00:39:52,270
from whatever unsavory
character did this to you.
753
00:39:53,830 --> 00:39:55,810
I did it to myself.
754
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,350
You don't care to share, fine by me.
755
00:40:02,210 --> 00:40:05,570
Let's not kick this new phase
of our relationship off...
756
00:40:09,220 --> 00:40:10,290
with an untruth.
757
00:40:12,030 --> 00:40:14,620
New phase?
758
00:40:21,690 --> 00:40:23,110
Articles of incorporation
759
00:40:23,130 --> 00:40:25,680
for the Texas Neurosurgical Institute.
760
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:29,350
You're officially official, Dr. Duntsch.
761
00:40:34,750 --> 00:40:36,550
Clinic's up and running,
762
00:40:36,570 --> 00:40:38,930
got a gnarly man scar.
763
00:40:38,950 --> 00:40:41,320
So much to make whoopee about.
764
00:40:43,090 --> 00:40:45,030
Classy.
765
00:40:55,190 --> 00:40:57,630
Most people are so close-minded...
766
00:41:00,020 --> 00:41:03,200
so narrowly focused on their
tiny, little cocooned worlds
767
00:41:03,220 --> 00:41:05,280
that they don't even understand
768
00:41:05,300 --> 00:41:07,730
the greatness that I am offering them.
769
00:41:09,450 --> 00:41:11,990
But that's okay,
770
00:41:12,020 --> 00:41:15,020
because if I have to stand in
front of them a thousand times
771
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:20,270
to explain my genius to them
to make them understand...
772
00:41:20,290 --> 00:41:22,860
then it's all worth it.
773
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,320
And it starts at Baylor.
774
00:41:25,340 --> 00:41:29,870
I am going to make them understand.
775
00:41:33,510 --> 00:41:36,620
And this isn't the unstoppable
force paradox,
776
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:40,380
because there's only me.
777
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,920
I embody everything.
778
00:41:47,570 --> 00:41:49,830
And what am I looking at here?
779
00:41:49,850 --> 00:41:52,330
A screw imbedded in soft tissue.
780
00:41:52,350 --> 00:41:54,600
- He missed the spine entirely.
- _
781
00:41:54,620 --> 00:41:56,630
If what you're telling
me is to be believed,
782
00:41:56,650 --> 00:42:00,690
then it seems to me that this
is a case of incompetence.
783
00:42:00,710 --> 00:42:02,620
I can train a couple of circus monkeys
784
00:42:02,630 --> 00:42:04,590
to do a better job.
785
00:42:04,610 --> 00:42:07,820
How do you like your
steak, Mr. Yarborough?
786
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:10,910
- Do I feel an analogy coming on?
- Mm.
787
00:42:10,930 --> 00:42:13,200
Texan born and bred.
788
00:42:13,220 --> 00:42:17,150
When you slice into that
perfect rare to bloody steak,
789
00:42:17,170 --> 00:42:19,870
it's soft, like you're cutting
through a stick of butter.
790
00:42:19,890 --> 00:42:23,080
Now, if somebody stuck a
piece of wood into that steak,
791
00:42:23,100 --> 00:42:24,420
when your knife made contact,
792
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,020
you'd be able to tell
the difference, correct?
793
00:42:26,030 --> 00:42:27,170
Of course.
794
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,450
Well, the contrast between
the wood and the steak
795
00:42:29,470 --> 00:42:33,090
is the same as the spine and
the muscles surrounding it.
796
00:42:33,110 --> 00:42:35,390
And Duntsch couldn't
tell the difference?
797
00:42:35,410 --> 00:42:37,440
Which is a damn near impossibility
798
00:42:37,450 --> 00:42:39,350
unless he was actively
trying to insert the screw
799
00:42:39,350 --> 00:42:41,550
in the wrong place, which
would answer your questions
800
00:42:41,570 --> 00:42:43,590
about showing criminal intent.
801
00:42:45,850 --> 00:42:47,410
To bring criminal charges,
802
00:42:47,430 --> 00:42:50,650
a certain threshold has to be met.
803
00:42:50,670 --> 00:42:52,330
I'm not sure we're there.
804
00:42:52,350 --> 00:42:54,450
What's evident, though, is it appears
805
00:42:54,470 --> 00:42:57,490
you have a compelling medical
malpractice complaint,
806
00:42:57,510 --> 00:42:59,830
which should be taken up in civil court.
807
00:42:59,850 --> 00:43:01,720
But pushing this off to
the civil court, I mean,
808
00:43:01,730 --> 00:43:05,510
if that isn't passing the buck,
I don't know what is.
809
00:43:07,710 --> 00:43:11,340
We're dancing in a field of gray.
810
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:14,760
This office deals with drug
dealers and murderers.
811
00:43:14,780 --> 00:43:18,430
The law is explicit.
Don't sell drugs, don't kill.
812
00:43:18,450 --> 00:43:21,640
It's an undeviating line
any jury can follow.
813
00:43:21,650 --> 00:43:26,450
What you're presenting me is
eight years of medical school
814
00:43:26,470 --> 00:43:28,670
that we'd have to shove
down the jury's throats
815
00:43:28,690 --> 00:43:30,570
in a handful of days.
816
00:43:30,590 --> 00:43:32,040
They'd have to be so versed to the point
817
00:43:32,050 --> 00:43:33,330
that they could differentiate
818
00:43:33,350 --> 00:43:36,620
between sound medical practice
and criminal negligence.
819
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:38,810
I don't think it would
be that hard for them
820
00:43:38,830 --> 00:43:40,510
to understand the scope
of what he's done.
821
00:43:40,530 --> 00:43:43,330
We're not asking the
jury to perform surgery.
822
00:43:43,350 --> 00:43:45,030
Well, tell that to juror number seven,
823
00:43:45,060 --> 00:43:46,130
who doesn't wanna be there
824
00:43:46,150 --> 00:43:48,290
'cause she's losing
valuable days at work,
825
00:43:48,310 --> 00:43:51,760
and her kids' Christmas wish
list is going up in smoke.
826
00:43:51,780 --> 00:43:53,910
Duntsch has two deaths that we know of,
827
00:43:53,930 --> 00:43:56,680
and the state of Texas has
executed people for less.
828
00:43:58,090 --> 00:44:00,100
I'm not negating what has transpired.
829
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:04,850
But you're asking us to start
up a very steep mountain.
830
00:44:04,870 --> 00:44:08,770
Ah, well, you know,
the degree of difficulty
831
00:44:08,790 --> 00:44:10,630
shouldn't dictate how
you do your goddamn job,
832
00:44:10,650 --> 00:44:12,930
otherwise we should all be
selling hot dogs at a ballgame.
833
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:14,630
I had a patient once.
834
00:44:14,650 --> 00:44:18,490
Woodland Arp, very successful
lumbar spine fusion,
835
00:44:18,510 --> 00:44:19,790
recovered nicely for six months.
836
00:44:19,810 --> 00:44:21,890
Then he started having
recurring back pain in the area
837
00:44:21,900 --> 00:44:23,430
where the device was implanted.
838
00:44:23,450 --> 00:44:25,230
And by then, the fusion was intact,
839
00:44:25,250 --> 00:44:27,150
so Mr. Arp decided to have
the hardware removed
840
00:44:27,170 --> 00:44:29,050
to alleviate the discomfort.
841
00:44:29,870 --> 00:44:32,050
Straightforward, neat procedure.
842
00:44:32,070 --> 00:44:34,970
35 minutes, skin to skin,
got the hardware out.
843
00:44:34,990 --> 00:44:37,030
I rounded on him later
on; he was on his feet,
844
00:44:37,050 --> 00:44:38,470
walking around, no pre-op pain.
845
00:44:38,490 --> 00:44:40,390
He was ecstatic.
846
00:44:40,410 --> 00:44:43,030
The next morning, they found
him dead on the bathroom floor.
847
00:44:44,510 --> 00:44:46,360
Pulmonary embolism.
848
00:44:49,550 --> 00:44:51,900
I did nothing wrong.
849
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:55,320
I did everything by the book,
and not a week goes by
850
00:44:55,340 --> 00:44:56,500
that I don't think about him.
851
00:44:56,510 --> 00:44:59,450
Now, whether he's doing
it on purpose or not,
852
00:44:59,470 --> 00:45:04,260
Duntsch knows that he is
not a competent surgeon.
853
00:45:06,150 --> 00:45:08,420
That's intent.
854
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:09,740
And what's gonna happen
if people find out
855
00:45:09,750 --> 00:45:12,090
that you had an
opportunity to stop him...
856
00:45:13,940 --> 00:45:15,640
but you didn't take it?
857
00:45:38,670 --> 00:45:42,000
George, take the lead on this.
858
00:45:42,670 --> 00:45:44,870
We'll conduct a thorough investigation
859
00:45:44,890 --> 00:45:47,040
and see where the evidence leads us.
860
00:46:28,050 --> 00:46:29,970
_
861
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:45,850
Ready to rock?
862
00:46:45,870 --> 00:46:47,430
Fuck yeah.
863
00:46:47,450 --> 00:46:48,520
Next stop,
864
00:46:48,540 --> 00:46:51,520
Baylor-fucking-Plano Hospital.
