Are you under the influence of
any drugs or alcohol today?

No, sir. [LAUGHS]

I just woke up from a
nap when y'all came by.

That's why I'm still in my pajamas.

I see.

Well, we would like to
hear your side of things.

But first thing is you've been charged

with five counts of aggravated assault

and one count of harm
to an elderly person.

So you have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and
will be used against you

in a court of law.

You have the right to an attorney.

If you cannot afford an attorney,

one will be appointed to you.

Do you understand these rights?

Yes.

And you waive your right to a lawyer?

Yes.

Okay, then.

Can we walk you through these charges?

I've got every case memorized.

I can tell you everything you
need to know about my patients.

But start here.

Every single surgery I
performed was textbook.

Okay, then.

Stan Novak.

Mr. Novak.

Presented with severe neck pain.

He had difficult insurance.
I was helping him out.

There was significant bleeding,
but luckily, I was able to see

that there was some tissue
growing on the bone.

Appeared to be cancerous,
so I aborted surgery,

sent it off to biopsy,

got him closed up and off the table.

And was it?

Was it...

Cancerous?

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

No. Neck muscle.

But abnormal.
It appeared to be cancerous.

Anything else?

Well, my staff is responsible

for counting the number of sponges

that are used in surgery,

and they were all accounted for.

But in post-op, I discovered
that a member of my staff

had left a sponge in his neck.

They should be held responsible.

Cindy Tremblay was a
very heavyset woman.

I can prove that.

Surgery was textbook. Lower back pain.

I'd have preferred to
do minimally invasive,

but she was such a heavyset woman

that the hole was large. [LAUGHS]

That caused some bleeding.

I inserted the pedicle screw,

but it drifted a little bit off midline.

But that happens in
about 6% of surgeries.

- Sixty?
- Six.

I make sure everything
is done exactly right.

She was only in a hospital
for a couple days.

Never complained. Textbook surgery.

Shelley Brennan.

The anesthesiologist gave her fentanyl,

so there were complications
associated with that.

Shelley Brennan died from blood loss.

But the anesthesiol...

that... that wasn't a...
a surgery problem.

Mrs. Beyer... I mean, Mrs. Brennan...

And they just kept on coming in.

And coming... it's very distracting.

If I had just been allowed to
follow my surgical training,

was also, um, working against my wishes,

That's correct, Your Honor.

However, the state's motion for $600,000

is not just generally egregious,

in this matter.

Dr. Duntsch is currently unemployed.

his bank accounts,

submitted as exhibit four,
that his personal assets

do not allow for such a bond
to be met at this time.

- State's response?
- The state agrees.

$600,000 is not appropriate.

We're filing to deny bond altogether.

The state's request is beyond the pale.

Denying bail for a doctor?

A doctor charged with serious and

Christopher Duntsch is a flight
risk and a danger to society.

As it relates to Dr. Duntsch
being a flight risk,

he has ties to the community,

"and that he has received

that have nothing to
do with his practice."

Wanna sit down?

I'm sorry for springing that
article on you like that.

Oof, you knew exactly
what you were doing.

I haven't seen him in years.

Not since med school.

- Okay.
- Not sure what I can offer.

Please, sit.

Did that article make sense?

No.

But you're here.

You talked to Jerry?

I did.

And?

He's in a tough place right now.

And he's protecting Chris.

What do you wanna know?

I'm trying to get a picture
of who he is, why he is.

You're trying to put him in prison.

I'm having a hard time
reconciling the person I knew

with the person in that article.

It's all true.

In fact, that article sorta
just scratched the surface.

He was charming.

Intelligent, focused, handsome.

Very handsome.

Y'all partied a lot?

We did what most med students do.

Work hard, party harder.

He had a wild side, but didn't everyone?

Did you witness him using drugs?

The thing about med school

is no one cares how hard you party

as long as you can handle it.

Chris handled it just
fine until he didn't.

It started off with him handing
out tabs to his friends.

Then he started writing
prescriptions at parties.

I tried to stop him, but he didn't care.

People knew to go to his place
to get whatever they wanted.

You're the one who made the
anonymous call to the program?

I had to do something.

What about his training?

I can't overstate to you
how brilliant Chris was.

I'd say he was the smartest
person in school.

But he's a researcher. That's his gift.

He had no business
going the surgery route.

If he'd stayed in the research field,

I think he'd have one
of the biggest mansions

in Germantown right now.

- Germantown?
- They have museums for homes.

Chris and I used to take
drives there on Sundays,

picking out the houses we'd buy one day.

He'd say things like, "Me and you,
Kayla, we're gonna run this town

and sleep on mattresses full of cash."

- A power couple.
- [LAUGHS]

Yeah, it's funny.

It's funny you should say that,

'cause he used to call me and him
a Black and white power cookie.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

That was Chris.

He'd say silly things like that.

School was stressful,
and he made it fun.

Whenever I was with him, it felt like...

things were gonna be okay.

Sorry.

Maybe I should have had an intervention.

But I was in a top program,

and I didn't want to
deal with any drama,

so I left him.

Who does that?

My parents always taught me to
care for the ones around us.

I didn't do that.

That article,

that is not the man I fell in love with.

No.

This lawyer, she isn't working.

She's a good lawyer, Chris.

What about Mr. Damelio?

Could he work the case?

Damelio's a tax attorney.

I'm not going to make it, Dad.

- No, don't... Chris.

- Don't say that.

My friends, my colleagues,
they've abandoned me.

Family is the only thing I have left.

And Wendy hasn't visited in months.

She won't bring Mason.

And I need to see my son.

Maybe you could talk to her.

Remind her how important it
is that families stick together.

They never know when they might
