NEWSMAN [over radio]:
And at least eight dead

at the We Are All
from Somewhere Else...

Can we go any faster?I'm doing my best, ma'am.

...after a gunman opened fire
with an automatic weapon.

In addition to the dead,
we're receiving reports

of as many as
200 people injured.

Okay, hang on a second! Hang on.

Rapid track! Trauma Bay Four!

Walking wounded needs to be
escorted to Station One!

Dr. Kinsey!

I got here
as fast as I could.

Dr. Park could really
use you in Bay One.

PARK:
Kinsey, you made it!

I'm taking this one
up to the OR.

I need you
to jump on

this fellow behind me.

What do we have?Ryan Watkins.

Male, lower abdominal
gunshot wound.

Next OR should open
in ten minutes.

Get started on him
as soon as you can.

Will do.

Oh, man, not a lot left
to put back together.

Like a river.

How is his pulse?

Last I checked, thready.
Barely there.

[woman gasping]Dr. Kinsey?
We're losing this patient.

Her oxygen is
in the toilet.

She's not
getting any air.

Looks like
a pneumothorax.

Oh, no. Sounds like
she's got blood in her lungs.

Potential hemopneumo.
How long has she been like this?

How long has she
not been breathing?

I called you
the moment I noticed.

Just got a text.
The OR is ready.

We got to get going on this guy

or might as well just send him
directly to the morgue.

Doctor, we got to go.

You know what a REBOA is?

Heard of it.
Never seen it done.

I want to
give him one.

It'll stop his bleeding
for 20, 30 minutes.

That'll give me a chance
to work on her.

That way maybe
we can save them both.

Isn't that kind of
the definition of a Hail Mary?

I don't know,
I'm not into football

and I don't go to church.

I need a REBOA and
some chest tubes, stat.

NURSE:
You're really going
to use a REBOA?

But Dr. Park told you
to operate on him now.

I know. But I'm not even sure
we can save him.

In fact, the only thing
I'm certain of is,

we take the time to get him
over to the OR,

we're absolutely losing her.

But what if it doesn't work?

What if we lose them both?

It's going to work.

I think I need to have
a quick chat with Dr. Park.

Walk away from that patient,
don't bother coming back.

TECHNICIAN:
Here's your REBOA
and your chest tubes.

Great.
Let's make some miracles.

Let's hail some Marys.

Hey.

Ah...

I can't lie.

Feel pretty strange
about this.

No. Bull's right.

You need your own office.

I've been a lawyer
for a minute and a half.

I can work
in the conference room.

I'm happy to work
in the conference room.

But you're Benjamin Colón.

Hell, rumor has it
that you're running for D.A.

of the greatest city
in the world.

[sighs]

You need a place
of your own, man.

You need an office where
you can hang that law degree

up on the wall.

Well, you've got
a law degree.

I certainly do.

And now I'm working towards
a wall to hang it on.

Sorry to break up
this legal convention,

but the big guy
is waiting for you

in the conference room.

I had just finished
my rounds at the hospital

about
two and a half hours earlier.

I was climbing out of the shower

when one of
the ER nurses called

and said they were expecting...

I thought she said
hundreds of patients.

But then I thought
I must have misheard.

But then she said
there was some kind of

mass casualty situation

and they were calling in every
off-duty doctor in the area.

It was all hands on deck.

Hmm. How many
patients

did Mercy actually
receive that night?

Over 200.

All with
penetrating gunshot wounds.

And the deceased--
uh, Ryan Watkins--

he was your first patient?

He was supposed to be.

Soon as I got there,

I conferred with Dr. Park,
the chief trauma surgeon.

And he was taking
another patient up to the OR,

so he told me to get started
on Mr. Watkins.

Was there any special reason

why Dr. Park wanted you
to operate on Watkins first?

I mean, it sounds like
there were plenty of people

needing immediate care.

No.

I think Dr. Park just considered

his injuries the most critical.

But then I saw this woman.

And to my eye,

she was in as equally bad shape
as Mr. Watkins.

She had a lot of blood
and air in her chest.

Struggling to breathe.

I needed to drain that blood
and air fast or we'd lose her.

But if I had operated
on him first,

that woman
absolutely would have died

while waiting for treatment.

Whereas if I could just keep
Mr. Watkins alive

for a half hour,
I could definitely save her

and maybe save him, too.

You know, one way,
I'm staring at

a likely lose-lose situation.

The other, I was certain

at least one of them
was going to live.

That's why you used
this REBOA thing?

I'm sorry. What is a REBOA?

It stands for

Resuscitative Endovascular
Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta.

It's a kind of
internal tourniquet.

A balloon catheter
that you position

in a person's aorta to
prevent them from bleeding out.

It buys you time.

Which was what I needed.

But it didn't work.

Well, the other patient
needed chest tubes.

That should have taken
20 minutes, tops.

But once I got in there,

it was more complicated
than I had anticipated.

And by the time I got her stable

and got back to Mr. Watkins,

40, 45 minutes had gone by.

And he-he didn't make it.

I tried, but...

CHUNK:
So, the plaintiff,

Mr. Watkins' mother, is saying

that the REBOA
should never have been used.

Especially not
for 40 minutes.

They are arguing that the REBOA
is not even considered

an acceptable
standard of care.

I'm not denying it's a
controversial technique.

I mean, usually it's
only a stop-gap measure

to buy you the ten,
15 minutes it takes

to get a patient
into the OR and opened up.

For what it's worth, I've
personally made the REBOA work

for up to an hour.

Before I went into trauma,

I was a military medic
in Afghanistan,

and I used it there
all the time.

Well, it'd be great
if we could get someone in

to testify to that--
other than you.

You know, I didn't see
your picture on the website.

Ex-Excuse me?

When I was researching
the Trial Analysis Corporation.

I remember
reading about a lawyer,

but I don't think he was you.

Mr. Palmer has been
with the firm

for over five years
in a variety of capacities.

He's handled several cases
on his own,

but he did just officially
pass the bar this last summer.

But do you have any experience
in medical malpractice?

This firm has handled hundreds

of medical malpractice cases,
and I personally

have super...But Mr. Palmer?

This will be my first.

There's another attorney here.

And he has lots of experience
in medical...

No. I'm the
trial scientist.

I'm the tactician.

And I am telling you
he's the one to plead this case.

Now,

if you don't agree with that,
there are plenty

of other companies
I'm sure you can go to

that would be happy
to take your money.

But, Dr. Kinsey,
this is a jury trial.

It's six people.

And they're going to decide

whether you're innocent
or guilty.

They are going to decide

whether you live
the rest of your life

in relative comfort
or all-consuming debt.

They're gonna decide
whether you get to use

the salutation "Doctor" in front
of your name ever again.

The other side is going to bring
all kinds of sage, old men

who will offer intimidating
and confusing medical testimony.

They'll try and bully
their way to a verdict.

Now, here's
what I know.

You give people a choice

between something
they understand

and something
they don't understand,

they will almost always lean

in the direction of
the thing they understand.

This case isn't
about medicine.

It's about being able
to talk to six people.

Being able to put them
in your shoes

when you had to make
the decisions you had to make.

And I'm telling you,

this is the man for the job.

Now...

are we going to court or not?

♪

I appreciate your
confidence in me.

It's no big deal.

I meant what I said.

I think you're
the right man for the job.

I think the jurors
are going to appreciate

being talked to
by someone like them.

Someone who doesn't

eat, sleep and drink
medical malpractice.

Someone who's just
trying to figure out

what really
happened here.

So, voir dire.

You have any thoughts?

So, in a perfect world,

we would love
to be talking to people

who are at least willing
to entertain the idea

that Dr. Kinsey, finding herself
in an impossible situation,

made the best decisions
she could...

if not to save every life,
then to save most lives.

It really is a case study
in lifeboat ethics.

It is funny.

Not one press
report I've read

mentions that
Dr. Kinsey saved

five other lives
that day.

Truth is, our client's a hero.

The jury needs to hear that.

And they need to hear it
during voir dire.

Everybody here know who
Sully Sullenberger is?

Yeah.

He's the pilot who landed
the plane on the Hudson River.

That's him.

Man behind
the "Miracle on the Hudson."

A hero. Right?

Anybody remember why he had
to land that plane on the river?

Yes.

The plane hit
some birds, I think.

Yes, it did.

And it put that man
in an impossible situation.

Air traffic control
had already ordered him

back to the airport.

He was convinced
he wouldn't make it.

So he improvised

and decided
to attempt a water landing.

Didn't ask for permission.

No time.

He just did it.

And managed to save
every passenger on that plane.

A hero... right?

Juror 21.

It says here that
you were a police officer.

How do you feel
about that?

The man was given an order
and he defied it.

Oh, I think
everything worked out

the way it was supposed to.

The man was declared a hero.

They made a movie out of it.

He was played by Tom Hanks.

[laughing]: I don't think
it gets any better than that.

Ground control to Major Tom?

Diana Merrick.

Former NYPD.

Took an early retirement

after getting injured
on the job.

BULL:
Injured how?

Suspect stabbed her
during an arrest

and then she apparently took him
down with a fire extinguisher.

Hit him with it.

A woman of action.

That's our kind of girl.

Your Honor, juror 21
is acceptable to the defense.

Nice work,
Counselor.

We make a pretty good team.

Well, all I'm doing is
following your lead.

Like I said,
we make a pretty good team.

[chuckles]

♪

[indistinct chatter]

BENNY:
There he is.

Oh, hustler, hustler.
[laughs]

Survived your first day
on the medical malpractice beat?

Other side threw in the towel.
Gave up.

Offered to pay us money
to go away.

Ooh. You are knee-deep now.Yeah.

Keep shoveling.[laughs]

Bull know you're here?

Nah, but so what?

Actually, I came by
to tell you I think I'm good.

Okay.

So tell me about tomorrow.

Opening statements.

Plaintiffs are gonna say that
my client made a bad decision

she had no right to make,

and I'm gonna tell them
about a woman

who found herself in the middle
of a perfect storm,

made the best choices she could,

and saved five lives.

First witness?Dr. Park.

Now, he's gonna testify
that he told her to operate

on the plaintiff first.

I'm gonna try to imply

that it was actually he
who was derelict,

since he clearly didn't
consider thoroughly

the conditions of the other
patients in the trauma bay.

Sounds smart.

Why, thank you, sir.
[chuckles]

I'm gonna go.

Just beware of the bank shot.

Come again?

Damn.
No, no.

Oh, yeah.

The bank shot.

So you think you know
why the plaintiff

is calling a witness,
and y-you may be right.

But a lot of the time,
the other side

will call a witness with
a whole other purpose entirely.

The witness
will say everything

you expect him to say,
but then,

just at the last minute, boom,

he'll throw a whole new
fact pattern out there.

Bank shot.

So what do I do?Two things.

One, do your best.

Two, stop saying you're good.

You shouldn't be good
until this is all over.

And then, only if you've won.

Stay scared, Chunk.

Bank shots can come
out of nowhere.

GROSSMAN:
Let's talk about
the evening of the shooting.

How soon after
you got the call

did you have someone
reach out to Dr. Kinsey

and ask her to return
to the hospital?

I believe it was within minutes.

GROSSMAN:
And when she arrived,
did you tell Dr. Kinsey to take

Mr. Watkins up to the OR
for surgery

as soon as a room
became available?

I did.And even though

she received that directive
from you, her superior,

that's not
what Dr. Kinsey did, is it?

PARK: No.Now, you mentioned

that Dr. Kinsey
decided to deploy

a REBOA.

Had you been consulted,

would you have approved
of this decision?

No, I would not.

In my 27 years, I've actually
never used a REBOA.

As far as I know,
the mainstream medical community

has still not reached a decision
as to when, where or even if

the REBOA should be used.

It comes with a slew
of complications

and high mortality rates.

Are you surprised
the use of the REBOA resulted

in Ryan Watkins' death?

No.
No further questions

for this witness, Your Honor.

I'm not a doctor, but I sense
we're bleeding out here.

Before I begin my questioning,

I'd just like to thank you,
Dr. Park,

you and the entire
Mercy Hospital team,

for all of your hard work
during that awful night.

Thank you.

Now, you testified that
mere minutes after receiving

the call about
the mass shooting,

you directed someone
to call Dr. Kinsey

and see if she'd be able
to come back to work.

Yes.Even though she just
finished a 12-hour shift.

Yes.

You must hold her
in pretty high regard,

wouldn't you say?

I suppose so.

In fact, you hired her,
didn't you?

I was among the people
on the committee

that weighed in
on her hiring, yes.

I think it stands to reason
that at some point

you had a high degree of faith
in Dr. Kinsey's decision-making.

Wouldn't you say?

And it's Chunk Palmer on the 20.

I'm waiting for an answer,
Dr. Park.

GROSSMAN:
Objection, Your
Honor. Relevance.

This trial is not about
why Dr. Kinsey was hired.

It is about why she
did what she did

after being given specific
instructions by her superior.

Objection sustained.
Ask another question,

Counselor.

Situations like this,
a-a mass shooting,

are fast-moving

and fluid,
aren't they?Of course.

And so, as patients
are moved from EMS

to emergency room doctors
to trauma surgeons,

quite often their condition
changes rapidly, doesn't it?

That's correct.

And am I safe in
assuming that, ideally,

you would want them to be
reassessed as often as possible?

Of course.
So,

the night that you decided
that Mr. Watkins

should be operated on
prior to anyone else,

isn't it possible that while
that was the right decision

when you made it, it might not
have been the right decision

five or ten minutes later?

And isn't
it possible

that on Dr. Kinsey's subsequent,

more thorough
examination,

and faced with two
critically wounded patients,

she could reasonably disagree
with your assessment?

She lost a patient.

If she had done what you told
her, she could have lost two.

Bingo.GROSSMAN:
Objection, Your Honor.

Counsel is testifying.[gavel bangs]

Objection sustained.
The jury will disregard

counsel's last statement.

It's already forever burned
in their brains.

RAND:
Mr. Palmer?

You do know the difference
between a question

and a statement, don't you?

You bet he does.

I do, Your Honor,
and I apologize

to the court and to the jury
and the witness.

Your apology's accepted.

You get one, Mr. Palmer.

Any more questions
for this witness?

Not at this time, Your Honor.

GROSSMAN:
Permission to redirect?

RAND:
Go ahead,
Ms. Grossman.

GROSSMAN:
Now, Dr. Park,

this isn't the first time
that Dr. Kinsey has gone rogue

while on your watch,
is it?

No, it is not.

GROSSMAN:
Could you elaborate
for us, please?

PARK:
It was three months or so

after Dr. Kinsey
joined our staff.

We had a patient,
a car crash victim.

Upon examination we realized she
had cirrhosis-- liver disease--

and had developed ascites,

essentially an accumulation
of fluid in the abdomen

which can cause kidney or
liver failure if left untreated.

And you had Dr. Kinsey
work on this patient?

Yes. A common procedure
is to drain the fluid

through what's called
therapeutic paracentesis.

You have to very carefully
hold a needle

while the fluid drains.

If the patient moves
or if the needle slips,

it could puncture the liver,
causing internal bleeding.

And so you had Dr. Kinsey
perform this procedure?

That's correct.

But apparently, there was

an urgent situation
down the hall,

and instead of stopping
the procedure

and pulling the needle out
to go and attend to the problem,

Dr. Kinsey decided to tape
the needle in place,

I suppose hoping
that it would auto-drain

while she was off
assisting down the hall.

GROSSMAN:
Is that something
that's recommended

while performing this procedure?

No. Absolutely not.

You never leave
a sharp instrument

sticking out
of a patient unattended.

Luckily, I came by
to check on the procedure.

I pulled the needle,
preserving the patient's safety,

and had a very long talk
with Dr. Kinsey.

The thing is, it was clever,
but not responsible medicine.

GROSSMAN:
So,

it appears that Dr. Kinsey
has a history

of maverick medical procedures
that risk patient health.

Objection.
Counsel is testifying.

Rephrase, Ms. Grossman.

I'll withdraw the statement.

No further questions.

BULL:
Where the hell did
that come from?

CHUNK:
Bank shot.

KINSEY:
You have to understand.
From my perspective,

it was a nonevent.

The woman's abdomen was draining
just fine and I was attending

to another patient.

Dr. Park came by,

and I wasn't doing it
the way he would do it,

but that doesn't mean
I was doing it improperly.

I don't mean
to cast aspersions,

but Park, he's the kind of guy
who's gonna keep making his bed

until it's absolutely perfect,
even when the house is on fire.

Be that as it may,
the plaintiff's attorney

has already planted it
in the jury's mind

that you're some kind
of rebel doctor,

willing to compromise
your patient's well-being

for the satisfaction
of doing it your way.

CHUNK:
Do you know

a Dr. Kendra Collier?

Name rings a bell.

Uh, maybe the military?
Maybe Afghanistan?

CHUNK:
Well, she's on this
revised witness list

and is first up
to testify tomorrow.

Sorry.

In case it jogs your memory,
she is a critical care physician

out of San Antonio?

Never been to San Antonio.

TAYLOR:
Okay, how's this?

From 2004 to
2009, she worked

at Landstuhl Regional
Medical Facility in Germany.

Okay. Military doctor,
I got that part right,

but I never served in Germany.

MARISSA:
So you have no clue
why they're calling her

to testify?

Uh, San Antonio to New York City
is a pretty pricy plane ticket.

There's got to be a reason
that they're willing

to go to so much trouble.

I'm sorry.
I don't know who she is.

Well, I guess we will
all find out tomorrow.

[brakes squeaking]

We making a stop?

I asked Benny to join us.

He's gonna sit with me
in the gallery.

I need an extra set
of eyes and ears.

[grunts]

Morning, fellas.

Well, isn't this
a nice surprise?

I was just reading about
you in the newspaper here.

At least I think it's you.

The way they spelled
your name made it sound

like you're a part of
somebody's digestive system.

"Benny Colon."
[laughs]

Seriously, man, congratulations.
You got my vote.

Yeah, that's just 'cause
you want your old office back.

So you made
the announcement last night?

Not me, personally, but yeah.

It's finally out there.

I think they were afraid
if they didn't announce it soon,

I was going to change my mind. [gavel bangs]

GROSSMAN:
Dr. Collier,

the defendant, Dr. Kinsey,
in her deposition, claims

that she successfully deployed
a REBOA for over one hour

in a Colonel Mark Winston during
her service in Afghanistan.

Now, you were part

of the treatment
team at Landstuhl

for that same
soldier, correct?Correct.

Can you tell us about
Colonel Winston's injuries?

Winston's unit was hit with
an improvised explosive device

in Afghanistan.

He suffered massive
abdominal wounds

and had to be transferred to
the Kandahar base for surgery,

and then to us in Landstuhl
for further treatment.

He survived the transports,
but died in our care

eight days later.

Oh, no...

GROSSMAN: Were his wounds
just too severe?

His wounds were very severe.
But that's not what killed him.

Well, then, what did?

Well, as you mentioned,
the medical team

who performed the initial
transport in Afghanistan,

the one supervised

by Dr. Kinsey,

used a REBOA to keep the colonel
from hemorrhaging during flight.

Unfortunately,
the transport took an hour,

and that's a long time to
cut off someone's blood supply.

So you're saying
it was the REBOA

that led to Colonel Winston's
death?

Essentially, yes.

The REBOA pretty much
killed his legs,

and Winston ultimately
died of sepsis.

GROSSMAN:
But this didn't happen

in the case of
Ryan Watkins, did it?

Same cause,
different complication.

In Mr. Watkins' case,
it wasn't his legs,

but the end result
was the same.

So, in your professional
opinion, was it reasonable

for Dr. Kinsey to assume that
she could successfully deploy

a REBOA for such
a lengthy period of time

in either Colonel Winston or,
for that matter,

in the case of Ryan Watkins?

No.

You just can't keep it in
that long and expect it to work.

GROSSMAN:
No further questions.

Your witness, Mr. Palmer.

Ask the judge
for a short recess.

I think the two of us
should confer with Benny.

I got this.

Okay, I just listened
to your testimony, Dr. Collier,

and I have to tell you
I'm a little confused.

Let me see if I can't
help you, then.

CHUNK:
Great. So, let's start
back at the beginning.

A patient like Colonel Winston,

all these abdominal wounds...

There any way he's gonna survive
a 60-minute transport

without some sort
of hemorrhage control?

No.And without some sort
of hemorrhage control,

how quickly is someone
in the colonel's condition

likely to bleed out?
30 minutes?

15 minutes?

Would he have even
lasted five minutes?

Less than five minutes.

CHUNK:
So the options were either

let the patient die
on the helicopter,

or deploy this REBOA
and get him to a facility

where he could be treated
and possibly saved?

Isn't that correct?

Basically, yes.So the REBOA

bought him time.

In fact, it bought him
eight days, didn't it?

Because had it not
been used,

he would have died on day one.

Isn't that correct?

Yes, that would be correct.

So let me ask you
a question.

During the time
that you were

treating the colonel
in Landstuhl,

did his family come to see him?

His wife, his son?

Yes, I believe they did.

So the REBOA,
the dreaded REBOA,

actually allowed the colonel
to have eight more days

to spend with his family
and to say goodbye to them?

Isn't that correct?

Yes.

I suppose it did.

Sounds like Dr. Kinsey

made the right choice to me.GROSSMAN: Objection!

Counsel is testifying.

RAND:
Objection sustained.

The jury will ignore
counsel's last question.

I do apologize, Your Honor.
No further questions.

Gosh, I knew him when he used to
tell clients what color shirts

to wear to their depositions.

Very impressive
cross-examination, Chunk.Thank you.

I'm glad you think so,
Counselor.

Mr. Palmer, the next time I tell
you to ask for a short recess,

ask for a short recess.

Bull, the man did great.

And then we will
go out into the hall,

you will share your thoughts,
I will share my thoughts,

and Mr. Colón, who is not yet
the city's D.A.,

will offer his
point of view,

and then I will decide
what we are going to do.

Do we all understand
each other?

Well, I understand
what you're saying,

but I don't know why
you're saying it.

Because you got lucky, Chunk.

We walked into court today
knowing very little

about that doctor.

We didn't even know why
she was testifying.

She could have just as easily
answered your question

that it was her medical skill
that kept that man alive

for eight days,
and it would have been 20

had our client
not used a REBOA.

But she didn't say
any of that, did she?

Don't confuse luck with skill.

I'm not confused.

I took a shot and it paid off.

Well, we don't take shots
with other people's lives

and livelihoods,
and we don't ask questions

we don't know the answers to.

And we certainly don't
ignore the opportunity

to compare notes with two people
whose combined experience

equals almost as much time
as you've been on the planet.

He's running for office,
you're going rogue.

Believe me, I'd go to court

and ask the questions myself
if I could.
[scoffs]

Sorry. Sorry, sorry.

I couldn't get a cab.
I ended up taking the subway.

And forgive me,
I never got a chance

to tell you how impressive
you were yesterday,

cross-examining that doctor
from San Antonio.

Thank you.
Just got lucky.

KINSEY:
Whatever. It worked.

So, what does today hold?

That's what we're here
to ask you.

The first witness up today
is Nurse Darna Bautista.

Now, she worked with you
the night that Mr. Watkins died.

Any idea what she's gonna say?

[scoffs]
That I'm a bitch.

She idolizes Dr. Park.

When I said I wasn't
gonna do things

in exactly the way...
in exactly the order

that Dr. Park indicated,

she looked like she was
gonna have a stroke.

When you say
she idolizes Dr. Park,

what does that mean?

They were friends? Lovers?

No, I don't think so.

I just know she thinks
he walks on water.

Nurse Bautista,
you were one of the ER nurses

working at Mercy
the evening of the shooting?

Yes, I was.

I was providing care
for Ryan Watkins.

First under the supervision
of Dr. Park,

and then under the supervision
of Dr. Kinsey.

And did you have occasion
to tell Dr. Kinsey

anything about her patient?

I did.

I'm guessing you're
talking about

normal medical information

that a doctor might expect
a nurse to provide.
Yes.

But I also shared
something else with her.

Something I shouldn't
have shared.

Something that wasn't true,

although I didn't
know it at the time.

What did she say to you?

I honestly don't know.
Nothing beyond the usual.

GROSSMAN:
And what was that?

You have to understand,
it was chaos that night.

There was all kinds of
misinformation flying around.

At one point we heard
there were three gunmen.

At another point,
somebody wrote a tweet

that the shooting was
a terrorist operation.

We understand how stressful
this situation

must have been for you,
Ms. Bautista,

but what is it

you said to Dr. Kinsey?

When EMS brought in Mr. Watkins

into the ER that night...

I was led to believe that he,
um, Mr. Watkins...

was the shooter.

And you shared that
with Dr. Kinsey?

Yes, I did.

Obviously, I don't know if that

had anything to do
with Dr. Kinsey's decision,

but I know it would have
affected me

if I had been in her shoes.

Objection.
The witness is speculating,

offering her opinion.

Sustained. Jury will ignore.

GROSSMAN:
So, Nurse Bautista,
in a situation like this,

is it a doctor's job
to determine

whose life is more valuable,
who deserves to be saved?

Your Honor, opposing counsel is
soliciting the witness's opinion

using different phrasing.

Sustained.
Ms. Grossman,

the ice is paper-thin
where you're standing.

You understand me?

I do, Your Honor,
and I withdraw the question.

No further questions.

I promise you, I have no
recollection of anyone saying

that any of the people
we were trying to save

that night might have
been the shooter.

I know, I know.

Ask for a short recess.

Okay, we basically
have two choices.

We can go back in there
and say we have

no more questions
for the nurse

and start our case by
putting on Dr. Kinsey.

That's a horrible choice.

Or we go back in there and
say we have no questions

for the nurse
and rest our case as well,

and stake everything
on closing arguments.

Oh, my God,
so we're just... giving up?

With all due respect,
Dr. Bull,

but why wouldn't you want me
to go back in there

and grill that nurse?

Get her to admit that
she never said those things.

And how are you
gonna do that?

How are you going to prove
someone didn't say something?

How are you gonna prove
a negative?

It's just gonna be
her word against ours,

and no one is accusing her of
having allowed someone to die.

But we can't let that jury
think that

what that nurse said
is the truth.

That's why we're gonna put
Dr. Kinsey on the stand.

You can deny
having heard it.

And, yes,

it will still be your word
against the nurse's,

but at least we will have
answered the accusation.

It will be on the record.

And then we will get you
off the stand

as quickly as possible and
move on to closing arguments.

So, wait, there are
no other witnesses?

What about the people
I saved that night?

Their family members.BULL: No.

The second we swear them in,
opposing counsel will challenge

on the basis of relevance,
and we will lose.

Because your ability
to help them

isn't relevant to the question
of whether you were reckless

in your treatment
of Mr. Watkins.

I'm sorry,
it just isn't.

CHUNK:
Dr. Kinsey,

do you recall Nurse Bautista
telling you

that Ryan Watkins, the man whose
life you were trying to save,

was in fact the man
who killed 38 people

at the "We Are All from
Somewhere Else" demonstration?

No. I have no recollection
of that. None.

And for what it's worth,
had she told me,

it would have made no difference
in my decision-making

with regard to Mr. Watkins'
care that night.

It's my job to help people,

not to judge them.

So tell us, why'd you
do what you did?

Why'd you defy your superior
and decide to work

on someone else first?

Once Dr. Park left

and I had a chance to examine
Mr. Watkins for myself,

I realized,
he was really far gone.

The likelihood of us
saving him that night

in the OR was slim at best.

It was also clear to me
that whatever we did,

it was going to take hours.

So when I saw that young woman,

and realized
with about a half an hour

I could get her to a place
where she could pull through...

I... I had no choice.

And what did Dr. Park say
later on that night

when he found out that
Mr. Watkins didn't make it?

I actually didn't see Dr. Park
the rest of the night.

I mean, there were literally
hundreds of people

seeking treatment;
I was pretty much on my own.

So working on your own,

without any supervision,

how many people did you
personally save that night?

I... I'm not really sure
how you would define "saved."

How many people would have died
that night

without you having treated them?

At least five that I'm aware of.

CHUNK:
Five.

No further questions,
Your Honor.

RAND:
Very well.

Does the plaintiff have
any questions for the witness?

I do, Your Honor.

Just one.

So...

you believe that you
saved five lives that night?

And how many do you believe
you lost?

CHUNK:
Objection!

Asked and answered.

Never mind.
I withdraw the question.

On August 25th, as
hundreds of people

prepared to defy
the COVID virus

and stage a mass protest
of our government's

policies towards people
born in other countries

who dream of better
lives in America...

I think you're gonna
turn the jury off.

These images are so disturbing,

I can't even hear what Chunk
is saying.

CHUNK:
...on these shores...Chunk.

Marissa is worried that
the images are too violent,

that they're gonna
turn the jury off.

Well, I disagree.

The more graphic, the more
in your face, the better.

See, you're trying to
make the jury understand

what it must have been
like for Dr. Kinsey,

standing in the middle
of all that,

trying to save as many lives
as possible.

Do you do what
you're told

or do you do what
you know is right?

I second that.Yeah, but you're

ex-law enforcement.
You've seen a lot
of blood and guts

in your life. I mean, we've got
a nursery school teacher

on the jury.
A seminary student...

Wait a minute.

[clears throat]

Taylor, back it up
about 30 seconds.

Okay, okay.
Stop it right there.

Isn't this the guy who
testified against our client?

Told our client to operate
on Ryan Watkins first?

Her direct superior?

Yeah, that's him.
That's Dr. Park.

Watch what he does.
Unfreeze it, Taylor.

BULL:
Oh, freeze that.

Weird thing to do.

Especially in the
middle of COVID.

He knows her.

CHUNK:
8:28 in the evening.

About ten minutes
after Dr. Kinsey arrived.

And this is the patient that
Dr. Park took to the OR

when he told Dr. Kinsey
to take care of Ryan.

DANNY:
Okay.

I'm-I'm lost.

That's two of us.

What are you guys
getting at?

Well, we always said this was
a case about lifeboat ethics,

we just didn't know there was
a whole other boat involved.

[scoffs]

Between now
and tomorrow morning,

I need you to find out
everything that you can

about that woman on the gurney.

I'll be damned if I go back
into that courtroom

and ask a question I don't
already know the answer to.

Your Honor,

with your permission--

I know that we already
rested our case--

but before we begin
closing arguments,

the defense would
like to call

one last witness.
Actually,

we would like to recall

one last witness.

If Dr. Park could
take the stand.

Dr. Park, I
appreciate you

coming in last minute
to testify in court today.

Now, I have to
be honest with you,

I need your help.

I've actually never served on a
medical malpractice case before.

And I'd be dishonest

with you if I told you
that I had

any understanding
whatsoever

of medical ethics.

How it all works.

What it means.
Now, you,

as the head surgeon
at Mercy Hospital,

this is something you know
a lot about, am I right?

Actually, I've written
a number of papers,

presided over a number of
seminars on the topic, yes.

CHUNK:
So...

baseline question.

What happens when doctors
let their personal feelings

get in the way
of treating a patient?

Well, all kinds of
bad things can happen.

Physicians have been known
to freeze,

to second-guess themselves.

But I guess the biggest concern
you see and hear about

is doctors making bad calls

because they're not
thinking clearly.

They're not thinking critically.

Thank you.

Thank you, Dr. Park.

Thanks for clearing that up
for me.

Oh.

Actually, just one last thing.

[sighs] When they brought
Ryan Watkins in that night,

how many patients did they
bring in with him?

Including Ryan, three.

He and two others.Okay.

So we know that you
told Dr. Kinsey

to operate
on Ryan Watkins first.

Now, that person she
actually chose to treat,

did she come in with Ryan?

Yes.

And what about
the third?

Did we ever hear about
what happened to the third?

I took her up to the OR
for immediate surgery.

I see.

And-and what was the extent
of her injuries?

She had been shot
in the shoulder.

CHUNK:
And would you say that
her injuries were

more urgent than
the abdominal gunshot wound

suffered by Ryan Watkins?

Or the hemopneumothorax
that Dr. Kinsey treated?

Dr. Park?

I need you to
answer the question.

No. I would not say her injuries

were more urgent
than those sustained

by the two patients
you asked me about.

That's odd.

So if her injuries were
less than severe,

why did you decide
to operate on her first?

Dr. Park, did you know
the patient that you worked on?

Yes.

Personally?

Yes.

She's Nurse Bautista's
20-year-old daughter.

My goddaughter.

So is that why you
treated her first?

If you had not
known that patient,

if you had not let
this affect you,

who would you have taken up
to that operating room?

[voice breaking]:
Ryan Watkins.

CHUNK:
So if there was

an error in judgment that night,

it was not Dr. Kinsey's,

was it?

No. It was not.

[whispers]: I told you he was
the right man for the job.

CHUNK:
Can you stop all that racket?

Some of us are in the midst of
our own private euphorias

and you're ruining it with the
sound of all this manual labor.

Well, well, well.

If it isn't Clarence Darrow.[Chunk chuckles]

Hey. Congratulations again.

You killed it today.

[laughs]
I did.

BENNY:
Yeah.

What brings you out on this
cold and wintery night?

Couldn't sleep.

I'd close my eyes
and I'd keep seeing

the jury handing down
that verdict.

That look of satisfaction

and pride on Bull's face.
[chuckles]

The gratitude
on Dr. Kinsey's.

I'm a grown man and it is
embarrassing to be this much

in love with what you do
for a living, you know?

Anyway, I, uh, I got out,
took a walk.

Tried to clear my head.

Walked across the bridge
when suddenly I realized,

I might die of frostbite

and I'm in desperate need
of a clean bathroom.

Mention my name,
you get a good seat.

I already did.

[laughs]

You know, the other night
in Bull's SUV?

I was ready to quit.

Mm. I figured.

I've been ready to quit
about a half a dozen times

over the years.

Really?

What stopped you?

I don't know.

I get one foot out the door,

and then I realize
he was mostly right

about whatever it was he was
saying or talking about.

Plus, I think we make
each other smarter.

Better.

He's a really, really
smart dude, Chunk.

And I don't think he would
want you around

if he didn't think
you were a smart dude, too.

Congratulations again, Chunk.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

I got to finish
my interior decorating

so I can go home
and get some sleep.
