Previously on Bull... It's perfect.

Well, she was meant for you.

Who's the hot French guy?

No clue.

Go, Marissa.

Yeah, I may have a little crush.

You should ask him out.

Henri?

Would you like to go to dinner
with me sometime?

[water running][indistinct P.A. chatter]

Cue the music, please.

[opera music playing]

- Clamps are set?
- Yes, Doctor.

Then let's begin.

Mitral valve, please?

ADRIENNE:
Watch her pressure.

BP is steady.

ADRIENNE:
Great.

Replacing the valve.

Nice and easy.

[monitor beeping rapidly]

WARRICK:
Pressure's dropping.

She's tachy.

She's going into V-fib.

No pulse.

Defibrillator.

Paddles.

Charging. 200.

[machine whirring]

Clear.

ADRIENNE:

Come on.

[monitor beeping steadily]

Heart rate is normal.
BP is stabilizing.

[exhales]
Here we go.

That a girl.

Would someone mind
turning up the music?

NURSE:
Yes, Doctor.

[music volume increases]

Night.

Dr. Corbett.

Lisa, what's wrong?

Our patient Ruth Synford, she...

[clears throat]
She died.

What?

She went into
V-fib again

and she died of
cardiac arrest.

Why wasn't I called?

It just all
happened so fast.

No, I'm her surgeon.

We tried to save her,
but we couldn't bring her back.

I'm sorry.

ADRIENNE:
Even now, I'm stunned
by Ruth's death.

She just had so much
more life to live.

[laughs]: She-she told me
she wanted to get back out

on the golf course
and shoot her age.

I said,
"Did you ever shoot a 71?"

She said, "Not yet,
but with this new lease on life

you're giving me, I intend to."

So while I, uh, don't agree
with her... [clears throat]

daughter's claim that
I caused her mother's death,

I am sympathetic to her grief.

I lost my own mother a little
more than a year ago and...

BRYAN:
Stop, stop.

Stop talking.

I really wish you would let her
finish just once, Vincent.

If she finishes, we're finished.

She is signaling to the jury
that they should be sympathetic

to the dead woman's daughter.

Yes. It's what we call humanity.

Call it whatever you want,
but in my experience

as a seasoned medical
malpractice litigator,

that's the last thing
we want to do.

What? Be human?

We need to stick to the facts.

And those are,
in your humble opinion?

They say the surgery
was too risky,

we say Ruth Synford
consented to the risk. Fact.

Okay, Adrienne will be in a
stronger position with the jury

if she doesn't come across
as a cold clinician,

if she shows compassion.

I completely disagree.

If we go down this path
of sympathy,

we might as well have
settled yesterday.

Going any better down there?[indistinct arguing]

Not at all.

How long's Bull gonna have to
put up with this guy's guff?

"Guff."

What? It's a word.

Not one people use.[chuckles]

Well, Bryan Vincent,
he may not be Mr. Cuddly,

but he's a legend in
the medical malpractice world.

His firm represents nearly
every hospital in New York.

Chunk, he wears boots
with his suit.

Yeah, and he has two first
names. Bryan Vincent?

I don't trust anyone
who has two first names.

Hey. I have two first names.

"Danny James."Will the two of you

stop fighting so that I can
listen to them fighting?

BRYAN:
Do you want to know
another fact?

I can't wait.

Lucy Synford wasn't even
by her mother's side

when she had the surgery.

Now she's trying to exploit
her mother's death

- for her own financial gain.
- It we freight this jury

with the daughter's
traumatic emotional journey,

that is gonna be catastrophic
for Adrienne's case.

Geez, you used so many
big words in that sentence,

all I heard was you trying to
tell me that you have a PhD.

I'll make it simpler: attack
the plaintiff, lose the case.

Thank you for your opinion,
but let me remind you

of one last,
very important fact.

What is that?

You are the consultant,

I am the lawyer.

Lawyer trumps consultant.

What is this,
rock paper scissors?

MARISSA:
Sorry to interrupt,

but I have some paperwork
for you to sign.

Life is a game of
rock paper scissors.

[exhales]

Still butting heads, I see.

Ah, we'll work this out.
Don't worry.

Oh, I'm not worried.
Iron sharpens iron.

That's my belief.

Once the contracts are signed,

we'll bill you for payment.

No, I'm taking this pro bono.

Absolutely not.

You saved my life with
your bypass surgery, Adrienne.

I was paid for my work,
you'll be paid for yours.

Besides, the hospital's
covering Mr. Vincent's fee.

I'm happy to pay
out of pocket for TAC.

We're happy to
accept your payment.

BRYAN:
Hey.

Bull.

A word?

No?

That a word, isn't it?

I knew that you and Adrienne had
a prior relationship, but, uh,

did I just hear you say
that you owe her your life?

And I do.
I never said otherwise.

You do realize how emotionally
compromised you are?

[laughs softly]
Not compromised.

Connected. I flatlined

on that table,
and her surgery saved my life.

She was there for me then,
I'm here for her now.

There's a reason
why doctors don't operate

on members of their families.

It might be best for you to take
a couple steps back here.

I'm not taking a step back.

- Not an inch.
- I get it.

You're used
to calling the shots.

But that's just not the way
that this is gonna go.

So the sooner you realize that,

the better
we're gonna get along.

Can you practice that speech
a little bit more,

maybe in front of a mirror,
because I-I don't think

it quite has the punch
you're looking for.

[exhales] I thought Bull was
gonna lose it on that guy.

Oh, he's gonna lose it.
It's just a matter of time.

Bull's a professional.
He'll keep it together.

20 bucks says he's gonna
lose it on this guy

before the time
the verdict is read.

Oh, I'll take
that action. Danny?

Eh, I got 50 that says he
won't last through voir dire.

Oh, now things
are getting interesting.

CHUNK:
Count me in.

In what?

Oh, we're betting
on how long it's gonna take Bull

to go off on Vincent.

Oh, I'm staying out of it.

But if I was in it,
smart money's on Bull

laying him out
before close of business today.

♪

HENRI:
Aww.

He's such
a beautiful boy.

TAYLOR:
Thank you.

You two are very close,
I can tell.

It's been a tough year.

His dad moved to Hawaii
a couple months ago,

so... a lot of transitions.

I was raised
by a single mom.

Really?

Yeah. Eh, it was
just the two of us.

Did she work?

Oh, yeah. She had
a big job in government.

I was very proud of her.

You didn't feel neglected?

No. No, I mean,
you know, she was busy,

but that just made the time we
did had together extra special.

She taught me
everything I know about art.

How to look at it with your
heart and-and not your head.

She sounds amazing.

She was.
She was my best friend.

And, uh, I suspect that's
what you are for your son.

Mm. I hope so.

You know, my mother was the one
who introduced me to Morocco.

So we have her to thank
for our upcoming adventure.

You're going to Morocco?

Yes. Didn't I tell you?
We're going this summer.

[laughs]:
What? No.[chuckles]

It's such a beautiful country.

Filled with beautiful people.
Marissa will fit right in.

He's great.

And he clearly adores you.

[laughs]:
He is pretty great.

I think I might be
falling for him.

That's so exciting.[chuckles]

Do you still want me to
make good on the pact?

What pact?

That pact we made
when you divorced Greg

for the second time?

- Still not ringing a bell.
- You remember.

We got a cocktail at
that bar by the bridge

after you signed
the divorce papers.

You made me swear if you ever
got serious about another guy,

I'd ask the hard questions,
do a background check.

Not a cocktail.
Cocktails plural.

Okay, yes.
Details are a little hazy,

but it's starting
to sound familiar.

So?

I don't know.
It feels a little icky.

Forget I even mentioned it.

I have been blindsided before.

You and me both.

It's like the blindsided
leading the blindsided.

[chuckles]

You know what?

What can it hurt?

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Yeah. Take a little peek.

BULL:
We want jurors who grab life

by the horns and
don't let go.

BRYAN:
Yep.
We also want jurors

who understand that just
because an individual

is over 70 years old, doesn't
mean they don't understand

- risk and reward.
- Got it.

Key to this trial, of course,
is going to be likability.

We doing this again?

I told you, the jury doesn't
need to like Adrienne,

they just need to think
she's a good doctor.

I'm not talking about her,
I'm talking about you.

What? You don't like me?

I'm crushed.

If people don't like you,

they're gonna project it
onto Adrienne.

Don't worry, juries love me.

You'll see.

BRYAN:
Is there anyone here

who rides horses,
bungee jumps or skydives?

I, for one, get seasick
on an escalator.

[soft laugher]
But, uh, raise
your hand

if you're brave at heart.

You have your hand up.

Good. Are you one
of the brave and mighty?

I'm a BASE jumper.

[scoffs]
I'm afraid to ask.

It's when you jump off
a fixed object

like a bridge or a building

with nothing but a parachute.

Yeah, I'd say that counts.

I'm getting flop sweat
just picturing it.

[laughter]
This juror is acceptable,
Your Honor.

Acceptable, but oh, how I worry.
I am calling your mother.

[laughter]

- I can't believe this.
- MARISSA: I know,

that juror seems
custom-made for us.

No. Vincent.

The jurors don't just
like him, they love him.

Where was this guy
when we were prepping?

BRYAN: Ma'am, forgive me
for asking a personal question,

but, um, are you married?

I was.

I've been a widow for ten years.

I'm sorry to hear that.
Do you have children?

I do. Three boys.

Ooh.

Now, uh, when you have what
I like to call life decisions--

selling the house,
updating your will,

seeking medical treatment--
do you seek your boys' advice?

I don't have to.

They insert themselves
into anything I do nowadays.

It's as if they think
I'm the child.

Does that bother you,
that they don't seem

to trust your judgment?

It does, as a matter of fact.

This juror is acceptable,
Your Honor.

BULL:
Would it kill him

to consult me?

He is following
your strategy to a T.

This woman is perfect.

Her late husband
was even a doctor.

Vincent doesn't know
the doctor part.

What bothers you more,

that he didn't consult you
or that the jury loves him?

Told you I have charisma.

Oh, it all bothers me.

Is voir dire over?

Just sat our last juror.

Bull and Vincent?

They're not making each other
friendship bracelets.

- But Bull didn't go off?
- Not yet.

Ha.

Well, guess that
means you're out.

It's down to me and Chunk now.

Well, as much as I would love
Bull to go off on that jerk,

I am officially Team Chunk.

[scoffs]
Someone's a sore loser.

[clears throat]

Uh, Taylor?

I'm having second thoughts
about that thing with Henri.

- Really?
- My grandmother always said,

"If you go looking
for trouble, you'll find it."

My grandmother always said,

"Don't eat peanut butter
with wet hands,"

but I don't think
that applies here.

Let's pass.

My gut's telling me
to let sleeping dogs lie.

[footsteps receding]

That's gonna be hard for you,
huh? Letting that dog sleep?

Hey, I can let a dog sleep,

it's just,
this dog is already awake.

You already found something?

It might be nothing.
It's probably nothing.

I mean, it's something,

but I think it's gonna turn out
to be a total nothing.

Well, that's a lot
of word salad.[exhales]

I just, I want to be sure.

I would hate myself
if Marissa got hurt,

especially because I'm the one

who encouraged her to ask
Henri out in the first place.

I would stay out of it.

You know why they say
"Don't shoot the messenger"?

Because people
always shoot the messenger?

[sputters]

JILL:
Ms. Banks, would you please

tell the court about your
experience in the medical field?

I've been a registered nurse
for over 20 years,

and I have scrubbed in

on over a thousand surgeries
in my career.

JILL:Is it fair to say
you've assisted

on a wide range of procedures?

Yes, I've worked on everything
from routine procedures

to surgeries
with a high degree of risk.

And what about
Ruth Synford's mitral valve

replacement surgery?

Was that an inherently
risky procedure?

BANKS:
With any surgery,

there are risks,

but this should have been
a fairly standard procedure.

It's a surgery Dr. Corbett
has performed countless times.

JILL:
"Should have been"?

Was there
something about

that particular surgery
that was not standard?

Yes.

When Dr. Corbett went
to insert the mitral valve,

I saw her hand tremor.

[whispered chatter]

Where'd that come from?

That is 100% not true.

JILL:Can you please
explain to the court

why, specifically,
it is problematic

for a surgeon's hand
to tremor during surgery?

An open-heart mitral valve
replacement surgery

is all about precision.

If the valve insertion is off
by just the tiniest fraction,

it can set off a series
of electrical impulses

in the heart
that can trigger V-fib.

V-fib.

Ventricular fibrillation.

It's a dangerously abnormal
heart rhythm

that can result in death.

And was it V-fib
that killed Ruth Synford?

Objection. The witness
is not a medical examiner.

She's not qualified to render
an expert opinion

as to what killed the patient.

JILL:
Your Honor, the witness

was the senior nurse present
at Ruth Synford's surgery.

Her opinion is not only
highly relevant

but based on years
of experience.

I'll allow it.

BANKS:The V-fib that Ruth
Synford experienced

during surgery didn't
directly cause her death,

but once a patient
has had one V-fib episode,

the likelihood of another
increases exponentially,

and the severity
of that second V-fib episode

is usually stronger
and often fatal.

As it was in this case.

One last thing.

You didn't mention the tremor
during your deposition.

Why is that?

There's a lot of pressure in
hospitals to support surgeons.

I didn't want to jeopardize
my career.

JILL:May I ask then, why
you're bringing it up now?

My conscience got
the best of me.

A person died and I felt
I couldn't stay silent.

[exhales]
JILL:
Thank you.

They can't believe her.

Oh, but they do.

Don't they, Jury Man?

We just have to get
back to TAC and regroup.

"Regroup" is the understatement
of the century.

- You killed her.
- Oh, no. Lucy.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- Lucy, let's...

No, no, no. My mother should've
lived another ten years, 20.

No, I-I understand
how upset you are...

You have a tremor.
You never should have been

in that operating room.

No, I didn't... You should be in jail.

I don't think
- we should do this here.
- JILL: Yes.

We should go.

BRYAN:
This is a disaster.

That nurse's testimony means

we're not just talking
negligence anymore.

We're talking recklessness.

No jury is gonna forgive you
operating with a tremor.

I didn't have a tremor.

We can have this discussion... With the potential
for punitive damages,

Please...we could be talking millions.

Okay, setbacks happen.

So how about we just calm
down and talk strategy?

No, thanks.

- "No, thanks"?
- I'll figure this out on my own.

[scoffs]

Okay, we're not
waiting on Vincent.

We will come up
with our own strategy

for dealing with this.

Does Adrienne have a tremor?

She swears she doesn't,
but I sent her to see a doctor.

And we will know what we're
dealing with soon enough.

Well, I talked to everyone
in that surgery, Bull.

No one said anything
about a tremor.

People seem to be changing
their stories.

Let's hope it's not contagious.

Hmm. I'll make the rounds again.

I'd like to think that nurse
is lying, and if she is,

I'd like to know why
so we can impeach her.

Got it.

TAYLOR:
I'll start looking

into her on my end, too.

I wouldn't be standing here
if it weren't for Adrienne.

So let's do our best
to defend her.

Hey. Do you have a minute?

Uh, sure.

Hey, make sure that you check
that nurse's employment history,

performance reviews, the works.

I'll get right on it. Um...

There's something
I have to tell you first.

- Yeah?
- And let me just preface this by saying,

it sucks, it's not fair
and I wish it weren't true.

W-What sucks?

[exhales]

I know you asked me
to stop looking into Henri,

but I was already halfway
down a rabbit hole and...

...Henri is married.

[stammers]

That doesn't make any sense.

I'm so sorry.

I know how much you like him,

but thank God
we investigated him, right?

We didn't investigate him,
Taylor. You did.

I get that you're mad
at Henri...

Of course I'm mad
at Henri, but...

you went digging when
I explicitly asked you not to.

- Because I care about you.
- When you care about a person,

you don't go
behind their back.

Marissa... We should talk about this later.

You heard Bull. We have to do
whatever we can for Adrienne.

Let's focus on that.

[exhales]

When we spoke before, you didn't
mention anything about a tremor.

Because there wasn't one.

Well, is it possible
you missed it?

No.

I had my eyes laser-focused
on Dr. Corbett's hands

as she went to insert
the mitral valve.

We all did. She never wavered.

Why would Lisa Banks
lie about seeing it?

I have to get to surgery.

What if somebody lied
about you in court?

And nobody put it right?

I don't know if this has
anything to do with anything,

but a few months
before Ruth Synford's surgery,

Banks overmedicated
a patient in recovery

and Adrienne dressed her down.

- Meaning?
- She tore her a new one

in front of everyone.

You think Corbett
- was out of line?
- No.

What we do, it's life or death.
Mistakes matter.

Most people around here
have extra thick skin.

They shrug it off, move on.

But Banks didn't shrug it off.

Yeah, I guess not.
Look, I really have to go.

Appreciate your time, Doc.

Was I strong with her? Yes.

Because she'd
screwed up royally.

But to lie on the stand
just to get back at me?

Well, some people's resentment
runs deep.

Now we know Banks
had a motive to lie,

and that puts us in a position
to claw back the jury.

It's a stretch to think
that a 20-year vet like Banks

would perjure herself
to settle a grudge.

And if I find it a stretch,
so will the jury.

BULL:
Well, not when we tell them
that Adrienne's doctor gave her

a clean bill of health.

No, doctors have
each other's backs.

That's what the jury will think.

So, what's your fix?

I've convinced
Sacred Heart Hospital

to settle with the plaintiff.

- You what?
- And I recommend

you join the settlement,
too, Adrienne.

That's not a fix.

That jury's never coming back.

Not for a grudge,
not for a doctor's note.

It's over.

We haven't even put up our side.

Well, we could try
to mount a comeback,

but the upside isn't as up
as the downside's down.

Oh, for the hospital, maybe.

I mean, it's just money
for them.

But for me, it's...
it is my career, my life.

I know this is a difficult pill
to swallow.

If I settle, people
will think I have a tremor.

[sighs]
I'll never practice again.

It's the only path forward.

Read the offer. Sleep on it.

[door opens]

Give me a moment.

Hey.

You're leaving her
out on an island.

No, she's out on an island and
you are letting her stay there.

When the jury hears
about this settlement,

they're gonna assume malpractice.

They already do.

You aren't doing Adrienne
any favors

pretending she can
still win this case.

And you're not doing
your job if you give up

at the first sign of trouble.

I'm not giving up, I am simply
giving my professional opinion,

which is what I am hired to do.

[exhales]

You're fired.

What? I don't work for you.

Yeah.

And now you don't work
for Adrienne.

[elevator bell chimes]
Oh, look.

Your ride's here.

[sighs]

BULL:
Adrienne.

I think we need to talk.

I promise you, I
didn't have a tremor

during Ruth's surgery or
any surgery I've ever done.

How long have you had them?

They started...
[exhales]

maybe a month
before Ruth's surgery. I...

I only get them at night,
and when I'm really tired.

Like, now.

And all my surgeries
are scheduled for the morning.

Well, if the tremors
never happened in the OR,

then how did Banks
know about them?

I don't know, I-I...
[exhales]

...had one
at a colleague's wedding,

and I didn't think
anybody saw me,

but... clearly, I was wrong.

[laughs softly]

It's been a rough couple years.

The pandemic,
my mother's death, you know.

- I'm-
- I'm sure they're temporary.

And you think this because...?

Well, my medical exam
just came up clean, didn't it?

Adrienne, that's pure luck.
You kn...

You know that.

You swore an oath.

Do no harm. What about that?

You're questioning my oath?

I live by my oath.

I sacrificed everything
to help people,

to be in service of
the sick and the dying.

I gave up having a meaningful
relationship, having children,

all for the privilege
of putting on my white coat.

When I'm in
the operating theater,

I am keenly attuned to my hands.

If I thought for a moment
that I was in jeopardy

of betraying my oath?

I wouldn't have operated.

I would've admitted it.

I would've quit.

Wait, do you believe me?

I believe you, but I can't
put you on the stand,

because if you're saying
that these tremors only happen

outside of the OR,
that is gonna sound to a jury

like we're splitting hairs.

- I understand.
- Good.

What about this?

Second thoughts?

I did not commit malpractice.

Okay, then.

Bull fired Vincent,
so Chunk is taking over

as Adrienne's attorney.

So I won? I won the bet.

Guess you're right about
everything these days.

I have to file the paperwork
to change attorneys,

but Chunk
will take you

through strategy.

You did it, didn't you?

CHUNK:
Did what?

Well, she was the messenger,
and she got shot.

CHUNK:Yeah, I don't know what
any of what that means,

so why don't we just stick
to the case, right?

Bull believes Adrienne
when she says

she didn't have a tremor
during Ruth Synford's surgery.

- Do you?
- I believe that Adrienne

is our client,
and we are looking

for the best way to defend her.

So, any thoughts?

Taylor?

Um, yeah, is it possible

Banks is covering up
her own negligence?

What do you have?

Over the last year,

Banks has moved departments
within the hospital three times.

First oncology,
then endocrinology,

now cardiology.

How common is that?

It's never happened
at Sacred Heart Hospital,

not in such a short time.

You think she's been passed
around because of sloppy work?

Well, Adrienne called out Banks
for a huge mistake she made.

Could be she has
a history of mistakes.

And when she becomes
the weak link in a department,

they ship her off to become
someone else's problem.

Why not just fire her?

It's hard to justify firing
even a semi-competent nurse.

I'll find out if Banks
wasn't so competent.

[panting]

Hi. Uh, listen,
crisis at work, so I can't stay.

That's fine. You
could've called.

No, I wanted to see you.
In person.

You're married.

Yes.

Uh, but it's a,
it's a long story.

So it's true?

Technically,

but we haven't been together
for many years.

Can you please let me explain?

You have a wife.

We separated five years ago,

but in the midst of the divorce,
she was diagnosed with MS.

So we decided to stay
married, on paper only,

so she could stay on
my health insurance.

Why didn't you tell me?

I was waiting until we'd been
together a bit longer.

I didn't want to overburden
our new relationship

with old wounds.

How is she?

Honestly?

We don't speak very often.
I mean...

I guess she has good days
and bad days.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I didn't
tell you sooner.

How did you find out?

[chuckles]: Oh, actually,
it's a bit of a story.

Did you investigate me?

I mean, I...

uh, I asked Taylor to...

- Taylor?
- No, not...

I... It's not her fault.

Yes.

I did a background check on you.

Wow.

[scoffs]

Well...

...I guess neither of us
is having lunch today.

Henri, I...

[exhales]

I've supervised all kinds
of nurses over the years.

At least Banks seemed
to care about her patients.

So there were no issues?
She never made any mistakes?

Oh, I didn't say that.
[chuckles]

She worked oncology
during the pandemic.

It was overwhelming.

A lot of people made mistakes.

So what mistakes did Banks make?

An older patient.

He just had
a kidney tumor removed.

He complained that Banks

tried to give him
the wrong medication.

Had she?

Banks denied it,

and there were no witnesses,
so I could never say for sure

what happened either way.

But that's why
you transferred her?

Oh, I didn't transfer her.

She asked
for that transfer herself.

Why?

She didn't say.
Change of scenery?

But frankly, I was
a little relieved that she did.

Hmm. Thanks.

That's very helpful.

I hear you've been
checking up on me.

Just doing a little
due diligence.

Interrogating my colleagues
isn't due diligence,

it's harassment.

"Interrogating" is a strong...

Surgeons think they're gods.

They can call everyone else
out on their mistakes,

but no one's allowed
to call them out on theirs.

So, are you admitting
you made a mistake?

You're gonna try to make me
out to be the bad guy,

but you know what the irony is?

What's that?

Most surgeons don't even see
their patients as human.

But I do.

Good to know.

And then she gave me this look
that was just chilling.

Okay, a-a chilling look doesn't
make for a legal defense.

DANNY:
I know, but it's
the second time

that Banks nearly
overmedicated a patient.

Once is a mistake,
twice feels like a pattern.

So Danny and I took
a deeper dive

to look at Banks's background
and we've come up with a theory.

But just a warning,
it's a little out there.

Like far, far out.

It's the 11th hour,

and we're the only ones
who can help Adrienne.

I'll go to Pluto if I have to.

All right. Take a look at this.

CHUNK:Okay, what are
we looking at?

TAYLOR:
We cross-referenced

the three times Banks

transferred departments
to a list of deaths

in those departments.

Within a month prior
to each transfer,

there was a death
of an elderly patient

with a similar profile
to Ruth Synford.

TAYLOR:All were over 70,
all lived alone,

and while they had chronic
health conditions,

were expected
to make full recoveries.

BULL:
And let me guess,

Banks was on duty
when all three deaths happened.

She was the head nurse
in each of their surgeries.

And she specifically
requested overtime

so she could supervise
their aftercare in the ICU.

CHUNK:Wait, y-you two
are proposing

that she killed them?
On purpose?

Yes. That is our theory.

You think we got
a Charles Cullen on our hands?

Maybe.

Who's Charles Cullen?

A so-called angel of mercy
serial killer.

A critical care nurse
in New Jersey who murdered

hundreds of patients
for almost two decades,

going from one intensive care
unit to the next.

He said he did it to
ease his patients' suffering.

Okay, but I'm gonna need
more than ghost stories

to bring to court.

So, if Banks was killing
these patients,

do we have any ideas
how she did it?

That's where
it gets tough to prove.

If she did this, she knows
how to cover her tracks.

CHUNK:
Is there any proof

that Banks was in
Ruth Synford's room

at the time of her death?

TAYLOR:
I'm working on it.

There are cameras in all
the hallways in the hospital,

but their security network is
locked up tighter than the NSA.

You know who could
probably get us access?

Yeah, I know.

I just wish I didn't
have to ask him.

Oh. Hey.

Sorry to stop by so late. Um...

What do you want?

Ah.

So, we're just gonna
do this here?

Okay.

Well, I have reason to believe

that the nurse Lisa Banks
killed Ruth Synford

and two other patients.

[scoffs]
Two other patients?

What-what the hell
are you talking about?

Murder, possibly.

Uh, I don't know
what game you're playing,

but I'm going back to bed.

[whispers]:
Listen. I need your help.

I need you to get us access
to the hospital footage

of the CICU in the minutes
before Ruth's death.

I'm gonna ask you this
with all the respect

I can muster at this hour:
have you lost your mind?

I assure you, it tracks.

Okay, let's assume it does--

and that's
a gigantic assumption--

do you know
what you're asking me?

Trust me, I wouldn't
be here if I didn't.

Giving you access

to hospital security footage

could open the door
to more lawsuits.

You think Sacred Heart Hospital

is going to willingly expose
themselves to those liabilities?

Well, imagine the liabilities
if they turn a blind eye

to a serial killer.

Now, if I'm wrong,

think of how much fun
you'll have humiliating me.

[gavel bangs]

Your Honor,
the defense would like

to recall Lisa Banks
to the stand.

Ms. Banks,
you testified

that you witnessed Dr. Corbett
having a tremor

during Ruth Synford's surgery,
is that correct?

- Yes, I did.
- And it's your opinion

that tremor caused Ms. Synford
to go into V-fib,

is that correct?

Yes.

Are there any other reasons why
a patient would go into V-fib?

Of course.

Could a medication,
like magnesium sulfate,

trigger a V-fib episode?

I suppose so, yes.

And is it true
that magnesium sulfate

doesn't show up
in a standard autopsy?

I don't know.
I'm not a medical examiner.

Well,
for your information,

no, it does not show up
in a standard autopsy,

but I have a feeling that
you knew that already, right?

JILL:
Objection, Your Honor.

Counsel is testifying.

I'm sorry, Your Honor,
I'll move on.

Your Honor,
the defense would like

to enter into evidence

security footage
from the CICU

the night
that Ruth Synford died.

Your Honor,
we haven't had a chance

to authenticate this footage.

CHUNK:
I can assure the court

that this video comes directly

from New York
Sacred Heart Hospital

via their legal counsel.

He's in the courtroom today

if you'd like him
to authenticate it

before we move on.

CARTER:Uh, that won't
be necessary.

I'll allow it.

Uh, proceed, Counselor.

CHUNK:
Ms. Banks, can you tell us

what kind of cart this is?

BANKS:
It's a crash cart.

It's kept in the CICU

because it contains
equipment needed

when patients go into
cardiac pulmonary arrest.

Do crash carts
contain medications,

such as magnesium sulfate?

Sometimes.

In fact, in the video,

we can see you
taking medications

from this cart.

Why is that?

It's protocol to move
certain medications

off the crash cart
depending on which patients

are housed in the CICU.

But standard protocol
would require you to bring

that medication back to the
hospital pharmacy, would it not?

Yes.

But you didn't take it back
to the pharmacy.

You took that medication
into a patient's room.

Why did you do that?

I meant to take it
to the pharmacy,

but there was an emergency.

That's Ruth Synford's room.

She went into V-fib
and I rushed to help her.

Actually, Ruth Synford went
into V-fib at 10:57 p.m.,

You went into Ruth Synford's
room at 10:54 p.m.

[exhales]
So can you explain
to us why

you would take medications
from that crash cart

into the patient's room

three minutes
before she went into V-fib?

I...
[laughs softly]

- I-I don't recall.
- Isn't it true

that you injected Ruth Synford
with magnesium sulfate,

Your Honor, objection.sending her into V-fib...

JILL:
Speculation.

...and killing her?

No one was there for her but me.

[hushed chatter]

CHUNK:What?

No one was there for Ruth

before her surgery,
or after...

...when she was scared,
frightened for her life.

And I made sure that she was
not alone when she died.

In light
of Ms. Banks's testimony

and the hospital security video,

we are dropping our
case against Dr. Corbett

and recommending the NYPD do
an immediate investigation

of Lisa Banks.

We'll provide the authorities
with any assistance we can.

I'm so very sorry for your loss.

Thank you.

Ah. If you would all
excuse me for a moment.

[elevator bell chimes]

Mr. Vincent.

[elevator bell chiming]

[exhales]
I just wanted to say thank you.

Yeah, you owe me one.

And something tells me you're
never gonna let me forget it.

[knocks on door]

I'm sorry.

Taylor...

No, please,
just let me say this.

You've been there for me
through a lot.

I don't know how I would've
gotten through my custody battle

without you to lean on.

And I know

you asked me to stand down
from the Henri investigation,

and I absolutely should have,

no question,
but I found out

already that he was married,
and I thought for sure

I'd find out he was divorced,
but I didn't.

And I just wanted
to be there for you

the same way that you'd
been there for me

and I got lost in it,
and I'm really, really sorry.

I know your heart
was in the right place,

but if I am ever going to have
a successful relationship again,

I've got to trust
my own judgment.

And to have my friend
second-guess me was hurtful.

I get that completely.

It's probably how Henri felt

when he found out
I looked into him.

Wait, you feel bad for Henri?

Everything isn't
as clear-cut as it seems.

Okay.

Anyway, I've got my work
cut out for me

if I want to win back his trust.

And what about me?

How much work do I have to do
to win back your trust?

We'll be okay.

I might just need a minute.

Take all the minutes you need.

Maybe we should make a pact
not to make any more pacts.

Absolutely.

Jason.

Hey.

Thank you.

For not giving up on me.

Well, like I said,
I owe you my life.

You think I should retire.

A very wise woman
once told me I'd be different

on the other side of surgery,
and you know what?

She was right. I am.

Because I have a loving wife
and a beautiful daughter.

And that is all
thanks to you.

And all I'm saying is

you don't know
what's waiting for you

on the other side of this.

No, I don't want
a different life.

I don't want to be
a different person.

I sacrificed everything
to be a doctor.

I'm not ready to give it up.

I just think it's important you
address these health issues.

I-I'm going to get
to the bottom of this tremor,

and get better
and get back in the OR.

I wish you all the best.

Kiss that daughter of yours
for me, will you?

I will.
