Ok, George. I want you
to take your time.

Your eyes are going to be
very sensitive to the light.

Ok.

Here we go.

I can see!

I can see your face.

Good morning everyone,
thank you for coming.

Today I’m happy to report to you
that the world’s first laser

artificial cornea implantation
on 40 year-old George Naughton

of Denver, Colorado,
was successfully completed.

Bringing him out of
a 13-year darkness,

to see his wife, Elizabeth,
for the very first time.

Questions?

Dr. Wang, is it true
that multiple doctors

had declared your patient
was irreversibly blind?

Yes, many.

But he had not come to me yet.

Dr. Wang, would you describe
yourself as a miracle worker?

I derive any success that I
have due to my incredible team.

Which includes
Dr. Misha Bartnovsky,

Ruth Tarik and
many others

dedicated to pushing
the boundaries of science.

What?

“What?” he says.

I just thought that went
very, very well.

We gave sight back to a man
who has been living

for over a decade in darkness,
it will never get old.

I know what we did,

I’m just saying maybe
you take a moment.

A victory lap.

Ruth, next time
remind me to have

the press in the room
for the reveal.

That’ll definitely
get us more headlines.

Would you please tell the
doctor that it’s common practice

to punctuate our successes
with periodic moments of joy?

Ah, he’s the boss.
He makes the calls.

Alright, I’ll celebrate
for all of us then.

Our pro bono office
got a call from India.

A little girl, six years old.

Group of nuns
found her on a road.

They said her eyes
are badly damaged.

They’re asking you for help.
Should I set a meeting up?

Hey, look at this.

You’re gonna be on the cover

of the Tennessee Herald
tomorrow morning.

You may get a date out of this.

Not with that picture.

Very funny.

Should I set the meeting up
with the little girl from India?

Yes, of course. Set it up.

Ok.

They’re here.

Send her in.

Come on in.

This must be Kajal come to
see us all the way from India.

And you must be Sister Marie.

I am.

Thank you for seeing us, Doctor.

Kajal has been studying

and practicing her English
this past year.

But as you might imagine, she’s
a little shy about speaking it.

Yes, of course. Hello, Kajal.

You can call me Dr. Ming.

Thank you.

I have a gift for you.

It’s a music box.
Say “Thank you, Dr. Ming.”

Thank you Dr. Ming.

You’re very welcome.

Thank you.

Well, left eye’s gone.

Ultrasound cross section shows
complete retinal detachment.

There’s no chance to save it.

Similar external damage
on the right eye,

but the B scan shows no
retinal detachment on the right

and that’s encouraging.

But barely any
light perception.

Maybe one percent
of vision remains.

Well, you know, it’s possible

that if there’s no blood,
no hemorrhaging...

Considering she’s only
six years old,

the eyes have not had the
chance to develop.

Nothing to be done here, Misha.

I’ll let Ruth know on
my way out, ok.

I have a 2:30 conference
with the Board.

Alright.

Ming did the nun tell you
what happened?

No.

Apparently in India, street
beggars make more money

if they’re legitimately blind.

So the step mother
poured sulfuric acid

in each of her eyes.

Hm.

There are complications.

Oh.

Because she is so young,

the eyes have not had
a chance to form properly yet.

The left eye cannot be saved.

The right, perhaps
a very slim chance.

But you are the doctor,
they say,

who can work miracles. Yes?

Kajal was born in
the worst slum in Calcutta.

She has traveled across
the world just for a chance.

Even a slim chance.

Excuse me? Excuse me.

Yo, what’s up?

A little girl.

Did you see a little girl
come down here?

A little Chinese girl?

Uh...

Sorry, I uh, I thought I saw
somebody come down here.

It’s late. Sorry.

Ming?

What’s with all the homework?

Is this... This is the
little girl from India?

We’re going to do
the surgery on Kajal.

Ok.

In that case,
you’ve earned yourself

one hot scalding cup of coffee.

Thought you said
it was impossible?

I just needed to
spend more time with it.

So we do the surgery.

Yes.

When are you going
to let me fix your eyes?

You? No thanks.

Can you call Sister Marie?

I’d like to book a surgery
for Kajal right away.

Really?

Let’s see what we can do.

I’m happy to hear it.

I assume you forgot
what tomorrow is?

What’s tomorrow?

Your brother’s birthday.

I forgot.

Mmmhmm.

The latest and the greatest.

I ordered it a month ago.

Oh, you’re the best. Thank you.

Don’t worry.

I got myself something nice too.

I’ll let Sister Marie
know about the surgery.

Thank you, Ruth.

Oh, hey, big bro.

Why do she
always lock the door?

I told her a thousand times,
the neighborhood is safe.

Come on dude,
she’s always been like that.

Happy birthday.

Did you finally
remember my birthday?

Yes.

Hi hi, hi Ma.

Ming! So good to see you.

Smells good.

Oh good, we saw
the press conference.

You looked too skinny.

They say the camera
adds 10 pounds.

You look like you
needed to add 20.

Oh, I’m ok, Ma.
How about maybe just some tea?

No. I’ll fix you a plate.

Front page news, son.

Dr. Ming Wang, MD PHD,
Harvard and MIT graduate

received American Academy
of Ophthalmology honor award.

Congratulations, but, uh,

does this mean
you’ll finally get a date?

Oh, at least
he’s got a job.

I have one son
who doesn’t work at all

and one who works too much.

I have plans, Mother.

Speaking of, I want to run
my newest idea by you, bro.

Yeah.

Alright, so you know

how there’s a trash can
on your computer, right?

Mmmhmm. Yep.

Alright, check it.

So, people are so into
the environment nowadays,

what we’re gonna do,
we’re gonna put a recycling bin

right next to that trash can.

What’s the difference between
that and the trash can?

Nothing, but, um,
you feel way better about it.

Wow!

Wow!

How did you get on the waitlist?

It was no problem.

You know, I could get used to

being related to
a famous doctor.

Why do you encourage
him like this, Ming?

You should get him
a job at your clinic.

Come help me
with the cake, Ming.

We miss not seeing you
around here as much, Ming.

I know.

Busy. Busy, always busy.

I know. You’re going to die
from exhaustion.

I just want you to be happy.

People need my help.

Here.

♪ Baby, I know,
the first cut is the deepest ♪

♪ When it comes to being... ♪

They’ll go all night.

Your mother worries about you.

She worries about everything.

I worry too.

I have this patient from India.

She reminds me of Lili.

You cannot change
the past, Ming.

God bless you, little child.

Remember, you’re not going
to be alone in there.

We’re ready for her now.

Vitals look very good.

Hoping the
acid injury is confined

to the anterior corneal stroma.

Crystalline lens,
iris look pretty good.

Trephined the old
and scared cornea.

Lifting it up now.

I mean, you should have
seen her face.

Vitreous was full of blood.

There was no way to know
how much damage was in there

until we opened up the
eye and looked inside.

Come on. It’s out of your hands.

I know, I know.

What’s the solution?

What makes you think
I have a solution?

’Cause you were $600,000
in debt with zero patients

and every doctor
in town laughing

at the Chinese immigrant

who had the audacity to open up
shop in Nashville, Tennessee.

I know what you’re
trying to do.

But listen, if we spend any
more time on this,

and another potential
surgery and fail.

Kajal could lose her right eye.

The bones around her face
will stop growing.

She could be
permanently disfigured.

It’s not worth it. No.
No more surgeries.

Well, let me just say
that she left me

standing there by myself for
half an hour, so.

So there was that.

Totally not true.

Don’t listen...

Ah, there he is.
The good Doctor.

My gosh, you made it.

You look terrible,
professional opinion.

What are you talking about?
He looks great.

Get over here, Ming.
Give me a hug.

Oh, so good to see you.

Hi, June. Happy anniversary.

Thank you.

My condolences.

Yeah, I think I’ll keep him
around for maybe another year.

Yeah.

Is this a check?

Stop it.

I guess, I should tell you
officially, happy 20 years.

Aw. You romantic, you.

Well, it has been a nice run.

You know how jealous I’ve been.

You’ve had a few
relationship issues.

We just gotta get you
back out there.

Why do I feel like you’ve
talked to my parents?

- It’s a conspiracy.
- Yes.

You still thinking about that
little girl’s surgery, huh?

There’s too many risks, Misha.

And you go forward
knowing that.

How do I move forward?
I feel like I’m stuck.

Maybe you’re a little
too worried about

all of the details and
the minutiae.

Maybe you’re too worried about
how you’re going to do it

instead of focusing on what it’s
going to feel like

when you finally get there.

Because I do believe you’re
gonna get there.

First, you may need
to just let go.

On that note, I’m gonna go
flirt with my wife.

Come on up.

Mmmhmm.

Hey, sorry to bother you.

I... I just flew in on a
business trip from Wisconsin

and this is my first time
trying Asian food.

I just want a
professional opinion.

Looks like good choices.

Great. Thank you.

Wow. I love this
neon green color.

Oh, bit of a kick, though.

Miss, excuse me, he’s choking.

Do something.

In and out , sir

On the house.

Thank you.

Will he be ok?

He should be fine.

I don’t know if he will
eat Japanese food again.

Thank you

Anle.

Ming.

Nice to meet you.

So, rough day at the office?

Something like that, yes.

Well, I’m your bartender
for the evening.

So we can now engage
in the very sacred ritual

where you tell me
your problems, I listen,

and you spend a tenth
of the price of a therapist.

Just some things in the past
that I can’t get over.

Who says you
have to get over them?

Someone gave me
really good wisdom once.

The present is
made possible by the past.

Anyway...

Let me know if
you need anything.

Thank you.

So you’ve got
fibrosis transformation,

uh, proliferation...

You have, uh, EGF.

You said scarring’s
the problem, right?

Huh?

I know it’s frustrating,
I just...

The fibrosis and
the scarring for Kajal

is something
that could actually-

Is impossible to fix.

Hey. Where’s your coat?

Come on.

Let’s get out of here.

A few hours out of this place,
think about something else,

grab a couple of beers.

I have to keep going.

No, no, no.

Come on, you gotta get
out of here. Let’s go.

I just want
the surgery to work.

As do I, Ming.

But I’m genuinely
worried about you.

You’re sleeping
on the couch over here.

Found three wrappers of instant
noodles in the trash can.

I know you
don’t like instant noodles.

Come on, you need
a little balance.

I’m fine.

Hey, are you seriously
not gonna tell me

what’s going on here?

I don’t want to have
this conversation, ok?

Fine. You crash
and burn on your own.

I’m going out by myself.

I’m always the one

left picking the pieces up
around here anyway.

Can’t do any of this
without me.

Really?

- Misha.
- No.

There was this girl. Lili.

There was an uprising
in my hometown.

Many bad things happened.

I could never find Lili again.

There is some
part of me that thinks

if I can help Kajal
out of the dark...

Somehow, maybe, maybe
I can help Lili out of hers.

Wherever she is...

I’m with you, Ming.
We can do this.

- Babies don’t scar.
- Babies what?

The baby in the jar,
they don’t scar.

Hey, hey, hey, what-

Babies don’t scar.
I can’t believe I didn’t-

Who’s baby in jar?

No. The fluid. The placenta.

Babies do not scar in the womb.

Because of the amniotic sac,
the placenta,

they have time to heal slowly.

Why do adults scar?

Uh-huh.

No, no, no, why?
Why do adults scar?

Because the human body
is trying to prevent infection

so it heals itself quickly,
thus scarring.

Yes. And adult eyes go blind
when injured, so?

The baby doesn’t
scar in the womb.

The amniotic sac,
the placenta, oh.

Look for any previous work
on the placenta

and amniotic membranes.

If we use the amniotic sac that
contains the same properties

that prevent scaring
on a baby in the womb,

we have a chance.

Ok, I have no idea where
this came from but,

this is from Dr. Sheffer Tseng

from the Bascom Palmer
Eye Institute.

“Our lab has
reintroduced the use

“of the amniotic membrane
very recently.

“We’re exploring whether the
membrane that lines the sac

“holds the same healing power
outside the womb.”

- That’s it.
- Uh-huh.

That’s it.

That could be useful.

We’ll use a contact lens

with the amniotic membrane
implemented in it.

So the eye has
a better chance to heal

with less scarring.

Why did you let them
out of the cage?

Hey, I have to tag them. Okay.
That’s the idea.

I’m supposed to tag them, right?

Well, they’re blind, you know.
They shouldn’t be so hard.

Just grab it.

Where are the others?
If you want to help...

Ming? You want to help?

Make sure you tag them, right?

Yeah, I got em’ tagged.

Come on.

Ok.

Here we are, live in Nashville,
bottom of the fourth.

Dr. Ming Wang,

facing off against the
mighty blind rabbits.

We are in control study
6771 after 89...

91 extremely positive results,

Dr. Wang on the
assessment at 1:09PM.

What do you got, tag specimen?

Tag specimen number 92.

Ninety-two. Ninety-two.

Measuring now.

Looks like...

Seventy-five percent
less scarring.

Seventy-five.

Seventy-five.

Misha, is this the one with the
amniotic membrane contact lens?

Yes. It is.

It worked. It worked.

How do you say it
worked in Mandarin?

Youxiào.

Chen what?

Youxiào.

- Chen donla...
- Youxiào.

Chen donla...

No, but yes, ok.

You’re gonna help Kajal.

We are. We are.

Youxiào.

Here you go.

The doctor returns.

So, what can I get you?
A large side of wasabi?

No, maybe just a drink tonight.

A single malt, 12 year.

Mmmhmm.

Actually, 18.

Wow. The good stuff.

You must be celebrating.

Yes. I guess you could say
things are looking up.

Thank you.

Well, to whatever it is
we’re celebrating, cheers.

Cheers.

I was wondering...

Maybe we could go somewhere else
for some food some time?

Are you asking me on a date?

I think so.

Well, you didn’t quite
stick the landing... but...

Yes.

After a lot of trial and error,

it dawned on us and other
scientists that the healing

secret of a baby lies in the
placenta and amniotic sac.

Then, we developed a very
special delivery system

for these specific properties

called the amniotic
membrane contact lens.

We then obtained two US patents.

Kajal will be the very first
patient to experience

this new
breakthrough technology.

We’re hopeful it will
restore her sight.

And now Kajal would like to
say a few words.

Many people helped me come
from India to America.

And Dr. Ming is working hard
to help me see again.

I’m grateful to
you all and to God.

Ok, first thing
you did in America.

McDonalds.

No.

That is so cliché!

What do you expect?
I had $50 in my pocket.

I ate four Big Macs.
I was very happy.

And very sick.

That’s a lot of food.

Yes.

It’s a lot of burgers.

A lot of burgers.
It was my favorite.

Ah, they’re here.
Come in, come in.

These are our top students.

Ming Wang, Ji-Hong Dai
and Jason Chao.

Absolutely top students.

Yes, top students.

Wonderful.
The three Musketeers.

No, no Musketeers.
Top students.

Right. A pleasure to meet you.

Ming Wang, I read what you said
to the interviewers.

That you want to explore
and master the sciences.

Especially laser physics.

Pardon. I am asking...

What is the academic load
of your school?

I’m sorry, say that again.

What is uh, the, academic load
of your school?

Uh, what is academic load?

The load?

Are you asking me
how many credits

you need to get a degree?

Yes, yes, yes!

Ok, now the dogs
are out of the gate

and tearing after that rabbit.

It’s a good question.

It’s a very good question.

I appreciate the
determination, kid.

I think we might need
some new clothes.

Uh. My parents buy this suit
spent three month’s salary.

And it’s going to take
two minutes for us

to get laughed off campus.

I spent all my money
on cab ride.

Me too.

There they are!
The three Musketeers.

Hi.

I see we have some work to do.

So uh, what we are doing now?

Uh, you can do
whatever you want.

Are you boys hungry?

Yeah.

Let’s get some pizza. My treat.

What is pizza?

So that’s how you
came to America?

Yes. Well, sort of, yes.

Tell me more about
this little girl

that you’re doing
the surgery for?

Her name is Kajal.
A very brave girl.

It’s incredible

that you can give her
the chance to see again.

She doesn’t deserve
to suffer anymore.

I have to succeed.

I’m sorry,
I don’t usually talk so much.

No, I like it.

Are you excited, Kajal?

Yes, Dr. Ming.

Ok, good.

They are going to make sure
you’re comfortable.

And I will see you
after the surgery.

Yes.

You’re very brave. Thank you.

Ok, Kajal.

Now, I’m going to
take this bandage off.

And you should be able to see
the light in the room.

Just open your eyes very slowly.

Do you see the light?

No.

Nothing at all, Kajal?

I can’t see anything.

Dr. Wang!

Ming, it’s Misha.

Yeah, look, it was a crappy day.

I know.

Um, I’m not happy
about it either.

I’m here to talk.
Give me a call.

It’s me again.

Call me back when you
get the chance. Ok?

Ming, we missed you

at Tuesday’s dinner.
Hope you’re ok.

Call me back.

What is it?

Hi, Professor Scurry?
Professor McNesby sent me.

He want me to show you my exam
score and discuss possibly

take the MCAT before applying
for medical school.

Are you Chinese?

Uh, yes.

Look, it’s hard getting
into medical school

here in the states,
even for an American student.

But you coming from China?

Don’t waste your time.

Thank you, sir.

Oh, you’re here.

How ’bout some tea?

You always loved Li Bai.

“For a time, moon and shadow
will be my companion,

but now, a new joy awakes
with each dawn.”

I told Lili we would
make it together.

Things would change.

Everything would be ok.

It’s what you told us
all the time.

A father’s duty is to protect.

To help the children
feel at peace.

Even when they do not always
believe it themselves.

Ming.

The memory of Lili has been your
inspiration for all these years.

It has fueled your desire
to help people

come out of their darkness.

Lili wouldn’t want
you to stop now.

I always believed
what you told me.

Alright, hello Doctor.

Good morning.

Come over here and say hi to
Steve and Lynn Hendrich.

And this is Maria.

Lynn, why don’t you tell him
how you all met.

Uh, Steve and I were on a
mission trip in Moldova.

That’s when I saw Maria.

She was sitting alone on a bench
while the other children played.

I introduced myself
to the interpreter.

She looked up.

We want to give her a chance.

Ming?

Um, I’m going to give you
the number of a doctor,

a friend of mine,

in Atlanta.

Not too far.

Well, we heard you were
the best, Dr. Wang.

I won’t be able to help you.
I’m very sorry.

Give Dr. Fischer a call,
he’s very capable.

I keep seeing her.

Where?

Everywhere. She’s everywhere.

And I don’t know if she’s real

or if I’m having a
nervous breakdown.

I don’t even know if I can
perform surgery anymore!

Stop it! Stop it!

You don’t say that.

Life can get a little messed up.

Things don’t always make sense.

I just don’t want Maria
to end up like Kajal.

I understand that.

We can only do our best.

It’s all we can do.

Hey, Chinaman.

What do you think
you’re doing here?

Shouldn’t you be in a
Chinese kitchen somewhere.

Make me some
Kung Fu Chicken, boy.

Hi, I’d like to enroll in the
MCAT exam study course.

Of course. Fill this out.

And the fee is $1,500.
I’m not sure if you were aware.

Uh, yeah. Have it right here.

And that is why the
best choice to be

the next Superman is Eminem.

What?

That’s not what she
was asking you.

Alright, never mind.
Here’s my next big idea.

You guys know how people

are just obsessed
with their cats nowadays.

Yes.

Think about it.
Facebook, but for cats.

Facebook for cats.

Facebook for cats.

But you’re allergic to cats.

Mom, it’s all digital.
I don’t actually need a cat.

Actually not the worst
idea you’ve had, Yu.

Wow, the prodigal doctor.

I’m sorry I did not
return any of your calls.

But I would like the chance
to explain everything.

Ok.

Do you like karaoke?

I love karaoke.

Ok, how ’bout Painter’s Alley,
Saturday night?

Ok, see you there.

Hello, Sister.

Oh.

Thank you for coming, Doctor.

Ah.

Thank you for your call.

What is she doing up there?

Ah, she is praying
for the other children.

Asking God to give them strength
with their difficulties.

Praying for them.

This beautiful child
makes them realize

how blessed they are in life.

I’m sorry I could not help her.

Oh.

I prayed for a miracle.

Insisting to God
that the restoration

of Kajal’s physical sight
would be the miracle.

But look.

Look what God uses
when we refuse to believe

there is no purpose.

Kajal is the miracle.

Saint Teresa of Calcutta said:

“For love to be real
it must empty us of self.”

Kajal embodies this.

She has moved beyond
the tragedy of her past.

And embraces the present
with happiness and joy and love.

Let me go get her
so she can say hello.

Thank you.

Kajal. Kajal,
Dr. Ming is here to see you.

Here. Step. Step.

There we are.

Hello, Kajal.

I’m glad you came today.

I’m happy to see you smiling.

Is it a good smile?

It is the best smile.

I want to give you something.

I made this for you.

A gift for me. Thank you.

I will be praying for you.

Shall we go and say goodbye
to the others, hmm?

Ok. Goodbye, Dr. Ming.

Professor!

Professor McNesby!

Hi, Ming.

I got the test result.

Well, good. Open it.

No, no, I’m too nervous.

Oh, Ming. You got nothing
to be nervous about.

You prepared well.

What’s wrong? Did I fail?

Ming, you scored perfect 15s
in the science subjects.

Oh, that’s good.

I’ve never seen it before.
Look at your ranking, Ming.

99th percentile.

Damn near perfect.

Ming, you can go to medical
school wherever you want.

Johns Hopkin, Harvard, wherever.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Keep working hard.

You’re gonna do
great things in this world.

And after thinking more about
Maria’s situation,

I want to give it a try.

Keep in mind though,

the surgery holds a
very limited chance of success.

But we should try our best.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Ok, Ruth.

Follow me.

Am I the only one to notice

that the lobby was
conspicuously empty today?

No press?

This is all about Maria.

Ok.

How does it look?

The iris is stuck
to the capsule.

I’m going to have to separate
the soft tissues manually.

it’s going to be
a long day, everyone.

Pass me the contact lens.
It’s time.

I can’t see anything.

Ming?

Ok, here we go.

You are with the best driver
in the house, Maria.

Here she is. Hello, Maria.

Look who we have here.

How are you feeling?

Good.

Dr. Wang in front of you,
Maria.

I’m going to remove
your bandage.

And you’re going to tell me what
you can see in the room.

You have no memory of sight,
so I want you to take your time.

Let your eyes adjust.

Ok. Here we go.

You should be able to see
the light in the room.

I can see you.

Someone, give me a mirror.
Ruth, find me a mirror.

I have one right here
in my purse. Hold on.

Thank you.

Can you see yourself, Maria?

I’m so pretty.

Thank you everybody
for being here tonight.

I’m truly humbled to see
so many familiar faces here

to support the launch

of our new foundation
for sight restoration,

This would not be possible
without the help of many people,

including a special
little girl named Kajal

from Calcutta, India.

Who’s positive energy
and light is undeniable

and will continue to inspire
many for years to come.

So let us celebrate her tonight

and the many brave children
around the world

that this foundation
hopes to help.

Thank you.

...That’s funny actually.
I’m so happy you’re all here.

You’ve been
avoiding me all night.

Hello.

Couldn’t have done it
without you.

I don’t think that’s true.

But could you have come up
with a better name than...

The Eyeball Gala?

When are you going
to let me fix your eyes?

You? No thanks.

Ok.

I’m very happy you came.

I’m glad to be here.

What do you think of the food?

It’s not as good as McDonalds.

Can we get some after?

Can we please?

Yeah.

I know the surgery
didn’t work out

but look at what
you’ve done for her.

Done for her?

She’s opened my eyes.

Kajal is teaching me every day
that there’s more to life

than what you see.

Oh, careful.

Do you see Casey?
Look at Casey.

Can you see me?
