Pham, Pham!

Where's Lisa?

She's in a trailer. Somebody
says she's not feeling good.

Why is the director always
the last to know?

Lisa, it's time to do it.

I can't go out there.

We'll rehearse the lines
if that's what you want.

We're going into overtime.

It's not about the scene, Trevor.

I just, I don't
feel good, for real.

What's real are jitters.

Meryl Streep still gets some.

It's not jitters.
I just, I have a headache

and I feel like I'm getting
a fever or something.

Are you serious?

I'm sorry.

Hey, if you're sick,
you're sick.

- Thank you for understanding.
- I'll, uh, just shut it down,

send everybody home and
no one gets paid.

You know, you can be
a real bastard sometimes.

It's my gift.

Give me a sec.

- You only get one take, okay?
- No problem.

Yes.

Stop.

Wait.

Stop!

Is that in the script?

No. I don't think she's acting.

Oh, my god.

Call 911 now!

ORIGINAL AIR DATE ON NBC: 2004/11/19

You make your own hot sauce?

I'm from New Orleans.

It's part of the DMV test.

What's it like, tabasco?

Tabasco?

I put tabasco in my coffee.

Hey, do you mind?

Knock yourself out.

Has anybody seen Connor?

He's on his way.

Was he in a good mood
or a bad mood?

He's in a Connor mood.

Kind of weak.

What is wrong with you people?

Eat up. We leave for
Los Angeles in one hour.

L.A.? / I just got a request
for our help

from the Los Angeles county
health department.

L.A. County?
They never ask for our help.

- What's the case?
- They're stumped.

It's a cluster of three victims.

Two of them have died
in the last four days

from what they believe to be
an aggressive viral infection.

- Is it communicable?
- It appears so.

Our latest victim, Lisa Van Adams,
she collapsed yesterday.

She was originally treated
at a free clinic in Van Nuys

and then transferred
to a hospital in Encino

where she slipped
into a coma last night.

How did the patients present?

All the patients suffered from
the same flu-like symptoms.

Fever, headaches, limb weakness

and productive cough with blood.

Any commonalties beyond that?

Yeah. They're all actresses
in adult films.

Everyone's at risk in the
adult entertainment world.

Exposure to disease is
part of the job.

You have an expertise in this area?

For the past 15 years,

I've specialized in treating
these performers.

And I've seen every kind
of communicable disease,

but nothing like this.

When did you realize the
extent of the problem?

When the third actress came in
with similar symptoms

I knew it couldn't be a coincidence.

The third actress, Lisa Van Adams,

has she responded to
any of the treatments?

- Not so far.
- Her fever's still high?

As is her white blood cell count.

And there's inflammation of the brain.

She's trying to fight this off,
but she's losing the battle.

Any other symptoms?

The makeup lady, who's
also Lisa's friend,

said she recently complained
of discomfort during urination.

Apparently, the two deceased
victims may have as well.

These could all be symptoms
of sexually transmitted diseases.

Yeah, but which STD?

What's wrong?

She's so young.

Yeah. In my experience,
they all start out that way.

I'll get blood samples, DC cultures,

full-blown work-ups
for HIV and STDs.

We ran HIV antibody tests on all three.

None came out positive.

Well, that test can give
false negatives.

We need to know conclusively.

Especially if Lisa and the other
two women were immunosuppressed.

Having their tissues will give me

a better chance of
isolating the causative agent.

Great.

Eva, find out where the first
two victims are buried.

We may need to exhume
for autopsy. / Sure.

Miles, monitor Lisa.

I want to know the second
that her condition changes. / Will do.

Mind if I ask you a favor?

Sure.

Can we please keep
the county out of this?

They were the ones who
asked us to come here.

Yes, but I would just hate to see
this get blown out of proportion

before we know what we're
dealing with.

We won't sound any alarms
until it's absolutely necessary.

I appreciate that.

All right, Frank, start by checking
out all three victims' homes.

Aren't we assuming this thing
is sexually transmitted?

Yeah, but it's possible this thing was

initially misdiagnosed as something else.

All right, then I'll start looking for
commonalties in their medicine cabinets

- and move out from there.
- Great. And by the way,

we're assuming this thing is
limited to the porn industry,

- but until we know for sure...
- I got you.

I want somebody to tell me
what's wrong with my daughter.

- Sir, hold on.
- Let me talk to a doctor.

- Let me help you.
- No, no, no.

- Sir, hold on.
- No, I won't.

Sir! / Sir, is there a problem?

Are you a doctor? / I'm
Dr. Stephen Connor with the NIH.

How can I help you?

I want to see Lisa.
I just want to see my daughter.

Follow me.

I got this phone call saying
Lisa is in the hospital.

Flew in and got here
as fast as I could.

How did this happen?

Your daughter's illness may be
related to her occupation.

Don't soft serve it
up to me, doctor.

They told me what she's been doing
with her life and I got to tell you,

it took me more than a while
to get my head around that one.

How your daughter earned
a living is of no concern to us.

It's what I deserve, I guess.

I haven't always been the world's
greatest father to Lisa.

Look, Mr. Graybridge,
you don't have to explain.

Look, a year ago, depending on
who you had asked,

she either ran away from home
or I kicked her out.

I've been looking for her, but...

we haven't talked since then.

She gonna die?

Your daughter has
an aggressive infection.

The source of which
we don't understand yet.

But, trust me,

Lisa's in good hands.

Dr. Mccabe, this is
Ben Graybridge, Lisa's father.

Whatever you need, Dr. Mccabe
will help you out.

Anything you need.

You know, in my day, the whole
porn business was underground.

Now, they got conventions
celebrating it in Las Vegas.

I mean, the girls came back
bragging about it.

You mean Lisa Van Adams and
the other two actresses who got sick?

No, I'd never seen those other two
till you showed me the pictures.

I'm talking about Lisa's roommate.

Lisa had a roommate?

Yeah. That's her right there.
Brianna Hobart.

So Lisa's roommate was
also in the business.

Brianna retired from the business.

What happened?

I don't know all the details.

I'd overhear them talking sometimes
and Brianna just had enough.

So she packed up and moved home.

When?

Two days ago.

Strange, too, because she was
complaining about not feeling well.

She say what was wrong?

Oh, some kind of bad flu.

Fever, aches and pains.

She left here feeling like that?

Yeah, Lisa told her not
to drive feeling that way

but brianna just wanted to go home.

Did you ever overhear where home was?

Some place in the midwest, I think.
I don't know for sure.

I mean, I just mind my own
business. / Yeah.

Thank you.

All right, let's start
with what we know.

Eva?

I just got confirmation that the two
deceased acesses were cremated.

Along with the evidence
of what killed them.

Nat?

Nothing on Lisa's blood cultures yet.

But without being able to
autopsy the first two victims,

finding what we're up against
just became a lot more difficult.

First two victims' places were clean,

but they may not be
the only other victims.

Brianna Hobart, Lisa's roommate,
was also in the business.

She may have presented before Lisa.

Where is she?

Moved back home.
No one seems to know where.

Eva, contact the producers
of these movies.

Find out where this girl is from
and where's she's headed.

- Yeah.
- Miles, how's Lisa?

Her condition's worsened
in the last six hours, rapidly.

And there's been a left shift
in her white blood cell count.

Her body's going after it
with everything it has.

Sure is, but may only be a matter
of time till she runs out of gas.

How much longer does she have?

It's hard to tell.

At this moment, all we can do
is hope that she keeps on fighting.

We can rule out HIV,
she is negative.

It could be a form of
disseminated gonorrhea.

That could cause septic shock.

I saw my fair share of coeds
with it during my residency.

College students are a walking
petri dish for the stuff.

What regiment did you
put these coeds on?

Cipro and ceftriaxone.

All right, try it again.
See if it helps.

Will do.

Frank, let's you and
I take a drive.

Where are we going?

Find out how they make movies.

At least the health department
had the foresight to secure the set.

Let's hope we can find
whatever they couldn't.

$9 billion a year.

Movies, DVDs, internet.

You'd think it'd be
a little more glamorous.

You know, I read in an article that
said most women in this business

were from dysfunctional families
and looking for love and adoration.

Our job is to stop diseases,

not judge those who have them.

Look, I'm not judging anyone here,

but you have to admit, with all
the diseases out there...

it's a hell of a way to earn a buck.

Hey, check this out.

Looks like our sick actress was taking
more than aspirin for her headaches.

Oxycontin.

We both know oxycontin is a pain
killer that's as abused as hell.

It's also been known to depress
the respiratory system.

Well, maybe we're looking for
adult stars with addictions.

Which would definitely
complicate things.

Complications are something that we
don't have time for right now.

SHERMAN OAKS, CA

Come on, boys.

Come eat.

Hey, kids, come have
some cupcakes.

It's...

cup...

Mommy?

Mommy?

What's wrong?

Mommy?

Mommy?

The housewife was suffering
from the same symptoms?

Exact. Mrs. Jenna Kirkland,

37-year-old mother of three.

When did she present?

She collapsed about four hours ago.

The emergency room doctor
read Eva's notice

and contacted us as soon as
Mrs. Kirkland was admitted.

A housewife from the valley and
porn stars from the hollywood hills.

I wonder where their lives intersect.

I guess we'll be finding out soon.

I don't suppose Mrs. Kirkland's
an adult film star.

So she's definitely an outlier
from the initial cluster.

When you get back,
check Mrs. Kirkland and Lisa
for traces of oxycontin.

Frank and I found some
in Lisa's dressing room.

May be something, may be nothing.

But however it's connected,
this thing is spreading.

We have to figure out how. / Okay.

Nothing infectious or toxic,

but I found more weight loss
supplements, diet pills

and exercise gimmicks
than you'd see

in your average night of infomercials.

And Mrs. Kirkland seemed to
have just bought a new wardrobe,

several sizes smaller.

Double-check the other
victims' homes.

See if any of them were
using diet supplements.

You think this stuff could be
the source of the infection?

Well, Lisa Van Adams and
the other actresses' lives

are worlds apart from Jenna
Kirkland's, but this might be the link.

All right.

Excuse me.

Are you the man taking
care of my wife?

I'm Dr. Stephen Connor, with the NIH.

Is there a problem?

Andrew Kirkland.

My wife suddenly gets sick.

She's transferred from
one hospital to another.

Now the NIH is involved?

Mr. Kirkland, your wife is very sick.

I know that. Why are you people
here from Washington?

Her symptoms are identical to
some of the other patients'
we've been treating.

So, Jenna is connected
to these other patients?

Well, that's why we moved her here.

That's what we're trying to find out.

My boys are freaking out over
what happened to their mom.

What do I tell them?

Tell them that we're
doing everything we can

to find out what's wrong with her.

Look,

you have a minute?
Can we step outside?

Sure.

Come on.

I can see this has been very
difficult for you and your family,

but I need to ask you
some direct questions.

I need you to tell me the truth.

Whatever you want.

I saw that your wife is taking a variety
of herbal weight loss supplements.

We, we both have actually.

Yeah, she's been fighting that extra 30

she's been carrying around
since she had the boys.

She's looking good again.

This stuff seems to work.

Was the weight loss your idea?

Partially. I encouraged it,

but she wanted to look
good, too, for herself.

Is she sick because she lost weight?

We just have to check for everything.

That's why I need to ask you to go
through a series of blood tests.

So, you think I got her sick?

Like I said, we have
to look everywhere.

I'm gonna have to ask you
a very difficult question.

I need to know if you've been
with other partners besides your wife.

What the hell does that
have to do with anything?

The only other women who've
exhibited your wife's symptoms

are members of the adult
entertainment industry.

- You think my wife is one of them?
- I'm not saying that.

But these performers, they moonlight
as strippers and prostitutes.

If you've had any contact,

you may have been exposed.

I'll tell you right now, doctor,

you can take as much of my blood
and run as many tests as you like,

as rare as it may be in this town,
I don't cheat on my wife.

Any reason to believe that she
may have been unfaithful to you?

None at all.

Excuse, Dr. Connor. / What?

I need you.

Excuse me.

Lisa's not responding to
the cipro and ceftriaxone.

Probably rules out
disseminated gonorrhea.

Her vitals are in steady decline,
BP's plummeting.

Give her more I.V. fluids. If that
doesn't work, give her dopamine.

Should I try a broader spectrum
antibiotic on her?

Go with ampicillin and
gentamicin for now.

It may buy us some time to figure out
a more definitive course of action.

Okay.

Unlike Lisa, there were no traces
of oxycontin in Mrs. Kirkland.

The weight loss supplements
were just herbal laxatives,

not a factor in their illnesses.

- You talk to her husband?
- Yeah.

And I want you to fully
test him for STDs.

You think he may have
passed this on to her?

That's possible, but unlikely.

I think he's telling the truth
about them being a faithful couple,

which moves our search
outside the STD box.

I'm thinking bacteria.

Well, nothing on the movie sets
or in their homes indicated bacterium.

Well, they may all have
been exposed elsewhere.

Hold antibiotics and reculture.

I've already started.

Tell me you found Lisa's roommate.

Not her, but where she was headed.

I talked to her moving company.

They shipped her stuff
to an address in Chicago,

and I tracked down
a phone number from that.

And? / Her mother and father said
she hasn't arrived yet.

And they've left a lot of
messages on her cell phone,

none of which she's returned.

Wait a minute. She left her
apartment three days ago.

Unless she made an unlikely side trip,

she should be in Chicago by now.

I know. And her folks
sounded worried, too.

Call all the hospitals, all the
local and state police departments.

Call anything between
here and Chicago.

We have to find her. / Yep.

Miles...

how's Mr. Graybridge?

Hard to say.

The nurses say he hasn't
left her side in hours.

Well, keep an eye on him.

I can't imagine what's going
through his head right now.

Yeah.

Sir, how you doing?

Well, I've done better.

Yeah, I understand.

Well, you do, do you?

Excuse me?

How you people do it, huh?

Do what?

Pretending that you care about
someone like me and my daughter.

Who says I'm pretending?

I know what you're thinking.

How could I let Lisa
get so out of control...

end up like this?

How could I let her
do what she does?

I'm sorry if you've
got that impression.

Mr. Graybridge, I'm a doctor.
I'm here to help.

Can you make my daughter
better, huh?

We're doing everything we can.
These things...

She's dying. There's nothing
you can do about it.

I may have found something.

I finally got some growth
on the blood cultures.

- Can you id the pathogen?
- Not fully,

but I can tell you it's an aerobic
gram negative rod-shaped bacteria.

- Which means it could be...
- brucellosis, legionnaires...

I mean, it could be anything.

We need to id this infection

so we can administer
the best antibiotic therapy.

I can't be sure
until I run more specific cultures,

susceptibility tests, PCRs...

We don't have time
for all that now, do we?

No.

Nevada highway patrol
found Brianna Hobart.

It's not good.

She was dead in a motel room.

How long?

Their rough guess is a day or so.

All right, get Brianna's body
airlifted here as soon as possible.

Already on it.

At least her body will
give us a better chance

to determine what pathogen
we're up against.

All right, what is it?

I'm not positive what kind,
but it's definitely pseudomonas-like.

Pseudomonas?

It's a species of bacteria
that produce lethal toxins.

- How do we treat it?
- I don't know.

It's not responding to anything
I've thrown at it yet.

All right, while you narrow
down the exact strain,

get the CDC and our labs

to send you all the experimental
antibiotics that they have.

That is, of course,

while you find out exactly what
this thing is and how to kill it.

Frank, you and I have to go figure out
where this thing is coming from.

Is pseudomonas sexually transmitted?

Not as far as we know.

If not sexually, then how's it getting
into the women's bodies?

We don't know yet.

I think I may.

You found a commonality?

All three women have breast implants.

Wait a minute. They all have
the same plastic surgery?

Based on the virtually identical
suturing of the incisions,

I think it's more than that.

I think they may have
the same plastic surgeon.

BENDER PLASTIC SURGERY

Never let them tell you
the blues are sad.

It's contemplative.

Also happens to be the best
music to suture by.

And that...

does it.

She's gonna be a new woman.

Hey!

Five women with the same
rare bacterial infection.

Three have already died
and two are very sick.

And they all share one
thing in common.

You. / Me?

They're all your patients.

Four adult film actresses
and one housewife from the valley.

A Jenna Kirkland.

Yeah, I remember the Kirkland
woman, but...

this has just got to be some
kind of bizarre coincidence.

It's never a coincidence, doctor.

But we'll just keep the bizarre part.

Look, I have a varied clientele.

People come to me
because I have a reputation

for doing good work.
Very good work.

I take pride in it. / No one's here
to accuse you of anything.

We're not trying to string you up.

No? It sounds like you
want to shut me down.

What we're trying to do
is save some lives,

all of whom walked through your door.

To do that, we need to interrupt
your work... for one day.

This could be a malpractice nightmare.

Look, this isn't about you.

Oh, cool.
I know. I know.

But something tells me I should
still consult with my attorney.

We don't have time for lawyers.

And it may have nothing
to do with your procedures.

This could be your staff,
it could be your equipment,

it could be the implants and
how they were manufactured.

We don't know.

We're trying to find out.

Do you know what having the NIH
in my building will do to my business?

It can't be worse than having
a string of dead patients.

Especially if they find out you were
uncooperative with the investigation.

Okay, okay,

so what do we do?

Start by giving Ms. Rossi the name
of your implant manufacturer.

Then we're gonna need you
to get us permission

to call the patients you've worked
on in the last six months.

You're gonna call them all?

Every one, to find out
if they have symptoms.

Meanwhile, Mr. Powell is
gonna go over

this place with a fine-toothed comb.

If you guys find anything,
I don't care how small it is,

I want to know.

I'll be with the patients.

Hi, this is Eva Rossi with the
national institutes of health.

I'm calling about the surgery you had
in Dr. John Bender's office.

We need to know if you've suffered
any flu-like symptoms since the surgery.

No, we're not saying that
Dr. Bender has done anything wrong.

Damn.

Guess collagen fattens wallets
like it does lips and cheeks.

Any change?

I'm afraid not.

She's hosting a play-date for my son,
next second...

this.

You never know what's
gonna happen in life.

Must be hard doing what you do.

Fighting monsters you can't see.

A lot of people benefit
when we do our jobs right.

I remember when Jenna asked me
about doing some cosmetic work,

I encouraged it.

Looking back,

probably too eagerly.

Truth is,

deep down I was hoped a new Jenna
might help me be new again, too.

Look, Andrew...

your wife getting sick
isn't your fault.

I feel like I practically
forced those implants on her.

Do you ever think that maybe
she wanted the implants herself?

She wanted them because I stopped
looking at her the way I used to.

Stopped making plans just for us.

Well, then, you're one
of the lucky ones.

You might have a second chance
to make up to her.

Stephen.

Excuse me.

I found something else,
micro-abscesses.

The infection got into Brianna's lungs,
spleen, kidneys and liver.

Might as well have been in her brain.

It is.

That certainly explains
the inflammation.

All the women had implant
surgery six months ago.

The pseudomonas has been growing
in their tissues the whole time,

slowly poising them
from the inside out.

But I have good news.

With these micro-abscesses
on Brianna's body,

I should have a better chance
of finding an antibiotic

that will kill the pseudomonas
cultures.

We certainly have an abundance here.

Nice work. Do it.

I think I just woke up half of
L.A.'s newest D cups.

Are any of those women
showing symptoms?

No. And I spoke with the implant
manufacturer and the FDA

and none of them have any complaints

about unusual infections from their product.

It's a dead end.

There are no dead ends.

We have to keep searching.

Dr. Mccabe.

Mr. Graybridge.

Just call me Ben.

About the way I talked to
you before... I'm sorry.

All of this has just brought
up a lot of old memories.

Memories?

My wife, Lisa's mother.

She passed away when Lisa
was just a little girl,

when she was just 12 years old.

I'm sorry to hear that.

We sat vigil beside her bed
for two weeks.

Feel so helpless watching
somebody you love die.

Lisa and her mother were close.

Losing her, as tough as it was on me,

it was tougher on Lisa.

And suddenly, there I was,
I had a teenage girl on my hands.

Quite honestly, I didn't
know what the hell to do.

Trying to keep her close,
I just pushed her away.

If it means anything,

I think all parents and
children go through

rough spots in their lives together.

Yeah, but without her mother,
I was lost.

Lisa started changing,

she started becoming a woman
and I overreacted.

I was so strict with her.
Too strict.

Don't be too hard on yourself.

If I could just take back
some of those things I said,

those... fighting, hurtful things.

Maybe you can.

No.

Even if she recovers,
she wouldn't want me around.

And I don't blame her.

Ben...

if that were true,

why did she put your name
on her emergency contact form?

What's going on?

- What's going on?
- Miles, what do we got?

She's coding.

Epinephrine and bicarb.

- Got it.
- Let's go, let's go, let's go.

Come on. Give it to me.

We're losing her. Come on.

- Miles, stay here.
- Okay, it's on its way.

Come on.

Come on, Lisa, hang on, hang on.

Stay with us, stay with us.

That-a-girl.

- That-a-girl.
- Come on, Lisa.

We've got a rhythm,
but she's still bradycardic.

Atropine, now.

Here. / Thank you.

- Here we go.
- Atropine's going in.

Come on, Miles.

Jam. / Excellent.

Rhythm is normal.

Pulse is a little weak.

All right, let's start a dopamine drip.

Let's also get the blood
gasses and an EKG.

Stay with her.

She's gonna be touch
and go for a while.

I'm on it.

Hey. What do you got?

Another patient with similar symptoms
just checked into the hospital.

- Does she have a name?
- It's not a she.

His name is David Thorn.

This outbreak may have nothing to do
with breast implants at all.

How long have you competed as
a bodybuilder, Mr. Thorn?

Two years now,

Um.. but nothing as freaky as what

happened last night ever
happened to me.

When you fainted, right?

Collapsed.

Okay.

Let's see here.

You have a fever.

Yeah. Had one for a few days now.

I feel horrible, doc.
What is this I have anyway?

Most likely a bacterial infection.

We're working on it.

Look...

I need to know about
your bodybuilding regimen.

What you really want to know about
is steroids, isn't it, doc?

What I want to know is the truth.

The truth is, I don't load, doc.

I never have, I never will.

I compete in the all-natural division.

Period.

I assume the all-natural division
excludes any surgical augmentation.

"All-natural" is "all-natural."

Now, why don't you just give me
a prescription and let me... whoa.

Oh, hey.

Sit back.

This thing's a little more
complicated than you think.

People are dying from the
bacteria that I told you about.

So I'm not interested
in getting you in trouble

with the bodybuilding federation,

but if I'm gonna help you and
the other patients

that have the same symptoms,
I need to know the truth.

Fine.

My legs, doc.

My legs have always been
my weak spot with the judges,

You see, I, I, I had
some leg implantations done.

But dude did some nice
work on my calves.

You can't even see
the incision scars. I'm fine.

Dude being Dr. John Bender?

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, how'd you know that?

You want the good news or bad?

Make me smile.

I've tested everything I swabbed
from Bender's facility,

the office, the surgical room,
the equipment,

then retested it all again.

And?

The place is as clean
as it's supposed to be.

Apparently not clean enough.

I finally got a culture from Brianna's body

that could clearly identify the strain
that we are up against. / Ooh.

It's burkholderia pseudomallei.

Wait, wait, wait a second.

That's a vicious bacteria
native to South American waters.

And it's an aberrational strain

that is more resistant to treatment
than I have ever seen.

Murphy's law,

but at least now
we know what we're up against.

Any luck with your
experimental antibiotics?

Knowing the strain and stopping
it are two different challenges.

Nat, we're running out of time.

You can say that again.

I just spoke with seven more of
Dr. Bender's plastic-surgery patients.

They're all showing
early-stage symptoms.

They're checking into hospitals
from Burbank to Thousand oaks.

The list is growing.

And something else.
It's probably standard,

but they all had cortisone
shots after their surgery.

To prevent scarring.

That matches my findings
in both Lisa and Jenna as well.

That matter?

It could. Cortisone suppresses
the immune system.

And I've looked into all their surgeries.

The only commonality is Bender.

He had a different nurse each time,
different surgical attendants each time.

This bacteria isn't in his office,
surgical room or equipment.

Then it has to be on or in Dr. Bender.

I thought you guys were done.

We thought so, too,

until we figured out the bacteria

that we're dealing with
is coming off of you.

Oh, you're kidding me, right?

I wish I were.

So I need you to walk us
through your routine.

Talk to me about the spa tub.

It struck me as an odd item
to be in a doctor's office.

I use it every morning.
It's for my back.

If I don't, I can barely lean
over the surgery table.

Do you shower after every soak?

Sometimes.

Not always.

Keep in mind, man, none of my swipes

came back positive for the spa tub.

In this case...

maybe a swab wasn't enough.

What are you guys doing?

Looking for answers.

Tweezers.

I'm guessing that's
not native to Van Nuys.

Algae in the filter pipe.

Perfect breeding ground
for burkhoderia pseudomallei.

Still doesn't explain how the algae
got there in the first place.

Dr. Bender. / Yeah.

How often do you
clean this fish tank?

Uh, it's a service.
They do it every week.

Any idea what they do with the old
water when they change it out?

No.

The service pumps the old,

unsterilized fish-tank water
into the spa tub...

where it splashes into the filter trap.

While the tub itself may get
washed, the filter doesn't.

It also never completely dries out,

allowing the algae to flourish there.

If the bacteria thrives in the piping,

and travels with the water
into the spa tub,

and onto Bender,

then how did it get
into Bender's patients?

It starts on Dr. Bender.

Every morning before his surgeries.

He says he doesn't always shower
after his soak in the spa tub.

Which explains why not all
of his patients got sick.

He would have scrubbed
his arms and his hands,

but the bacteria probably would have
survived in his hair, his eyebrows.

But it still doesn't explain why
the implants aren't infected.

A plastic surgeon sutures over
the fascia muscle layers first.

And then comes the detail work.

Plastic sutures...

and they have to be just right
to prevent scarring.

He puts on the magnifying glasses.

The glasses going on
disturbs the eyebrows,

releasing the bacteria.

And it floats into the wound.

What kind of fish are these?

Lasiancistrus and atabapo.

Had them imported.

From South America? / Yeah.

I think I found it.

- What's the suggested course?
- That's what's tricky.

The only thing that kills this
strain is an experimental CHPC.

CHPC?

It's one of the strongest antibiotics,
usually used as a last resort.

Why last resort?

CHPC can have major toxic
side effects, lethal ones.

What should we do?

Tell the families we're
gonna give it to them.

Last resort.
That's where we are.

Dad?

I briefed Bender and
passed on treatment

instructions to all of his patients.

So why didn't Bender ever get sick?

Luck. He must not have
had open cuts or sores.

Simple as that.
