All language subtitles for The.Resident.S02E04.WEB.x264-TBSs

Previously on The Resident...

Dr. Okafor frightens me.

- I want her to be my right hand.
- My thoughts exactly.

- Who are you?
- Ms. Booth works for QuoVadis Labs.

It's a cutting-edge
medical device company.

Medical devices are
even bigger than pharma.

Pacemakers, cochlear implants...

The kid was dying. I had to cut.

You don't make the decision
to cut. I decide that.

Tell me exactly what happened.

Who made the first cut...
you or Conrad Hawkins?

Marshall is our new
chairman of the board.

It's time to put this hospital
on a firm financial footing.

Stick to what you know,
and leave the business

to the big boys.

You better open your eyes.

He's certainly here to scorch the earth.

You're a lot more like
me than you realize.

State your name for the record.

Dr. Conrad Hawkins.

You understand that you're under oath?

I do.

Remember: "yes," "no,"

"I don't recall."

Where were you on the first day
that you encountered my client?

♪ All right, here we go ♪

♪ Hello, stranger ♪

When did the dizziness start?

About 15 minutes ago.

Aw, you're just a little dehydrated.

I should have you back
out before the encore.

You said volunteers got in free.

And here you are.

In the parking lot.

What'd you think... you'd
be onstage with the bands?

I thought I'd me able to see the bands.

The bathrooms have a better view.

Then drink your way to a bathroom break.

Ah, good, we can use some extra hands.

Sorry, but I am here for this guy.

Let's go.

One of the other doctors called in sick.

- So...
- You took their shift.

Just a couple more hours,
and then I'm all yours.

No, that's fine. I'm sure,
uh, after a few beers,

any guy out there will seem
like a good dance partner.

- I'll dance with you.
- See?

Not dehydrated, you won't.

But seriously, if you guys need help...

Go.

Somebody should have some fun today.

I'll see you later.

I'll find you.

God, I really wanted to
see Scott Weiland live.

Well, that'll be tough, since he's dead.

You're thinking of the
guy from Soundgarden.

No, that's Chris Cornell.

You're thinking of the guy
from Stone Temple Pilots,

who is Scott Weiland.

They're both dead?

Are you two done?

Oh, my God.

Somebody get help!

Nic! Nic!

The exit's this way, come on!

Go, go, go, go!

Nic?

- What happened?
- I found him like this. No pulse.

- I started compressions.
- Switch.

Yeah. I'll get help.

32-year-old male found down
without a pulse. Now with ROSC.

- Multiple external injuries.
- BP 105/80. Heart rate 110.

- Did he get any fluids?
- Two liters. He needs a pan scan.

- Do we have any idea what happened?
- Radio said

a couple speakers blew, but
everyone thought it was a bomb.

Blunt abdominal trauma, hypotensive.

Are ambulances on a level zero?

- Yeah, patients going all over town.
- Get ready

for a full house, people.

Open-arm fracture and hemoptysis.

I need another large-bore I.V.

One, two, three.

I heard you need extra hands.

Bleeding's controlled.

All right, it's getting
pretty crazy in here,

but, uh, no more improv surgeries, okay?

Our gunshot kid during the blackout...

- he made it, didn't he?
- Yeah, but you barely did.

Bell put me on the spot,

asked me who made the first cut.

What'd you say?

Nothing.

But don't make me cover
for you again, okay?

Thanks.

Dr. Hawkins, they want
you in the VIP room.

Yeah, I'm a little busy.

- Well, someone's got to go.
- Hey, I got it.

I was about to go onstage,

play my set.

That's when I heard that noise.

Is everyone okay?

Let's focus on you
right now, Mr. Barrett.

Looks like you got
stomped on pretty bad.

Actually, I just tripped backstage.

Is someone in the bathroom?

Hey, Tony.

Doc, this is Tony, my sober companion.

Tony, this is Doc.

Tony's just making
sure the room's clean.

You'd be surprised what
people leave behind in hotels.

It's a hospital.

Maids leave stuff all the time.

How long have you been
sober, Mr. Barrett?

Almost a year.

Got to get that chip.

It did get ugly, though.

The more records I sold,
the more drugs I took.

I nearly drank myself
to death a few years ago.

Had to quit the tour,

take some time to dry out.

That show today was supposed
to be my big comeback.

You have a possible tibia fracture.

While we get your X-rays
we'll get you on oxycodone

- for the pain, okay?
- No, no, no, no. No pills.

No booze, nothing.

Only vice I've got
left are these babies.

You want one?

I'm good.

We'll be back.

- Does he seem a little drunk to you?
- Yes.

Add a blood alcohol test. Tox, too.

Got it.

Mm, so, Julian, what do you advise

for an abdominal wall
this well-upholstered?

Try these retractors.

They're non-slip.
Designed for bariatrics.

I'm glad Prince Abdulraheem

requested you personally, Dr. Bell.

We miss you down here.

Well, thank you, Jessica.

I love the Saudis. Ideal patients.

They pay same day, full
price, in cash. Mets.

Pick-ups.

We still on for tonight?

Mm-hmm.

Dr. Bell is meeting my
boss tonight, Gordon Page.

He's throwing a party for the CEOs

who do business with QuoVadis.

Yeah, I'm betting that a guy
who went from med school dropout

to start-up billionaire in five years

can entertain like a rock star.

His open bar is epic.

He flies a mixologist
in from Miami Beach.

Oh. If you need a plus-one, I'm free.

The pick.

See how we mind the patellar tendon
as we saw the posterior tibia.

Retractor, please.

PCL, right?

That's right.

Oscillating saw's best to resect
damaged areas of the proximal tibia.

Then we size the implants

and cement the components.

Oh, it's a beautiful
procedure, isn't it?

Go ahead, you try.

Get in there and do the next cut.

You all right, dear?

♪ Well, I'm tired, so sick,
tired of breakin' down... ♪

♪ When you come around ♪

♪ And crossroads, alleys
and empty streets... ♪

Don't be too hard on yourself.

But time for a gut check.

Not too late to go into dermatology.

Dr. Bell. Randolph. My man.

- Make an appointment.
- Amazing thing.

I checked the schedule, and
we're both available right now.

I'm on a much needed break.

Which you'll share with me.

I let you get away with this why?

Hmm.

I need to establish better
boundaries with staff.

Why, dear man, did you assign me

yet another moist
towelette of a resident?

Coleman? He graduated Baylor
at the top of his class.

He nearly fainted in my OR.

We're a teaching hospital.
Teach him, he can learn.

Who's this douche?

Head of the hottest new medical
device company in the country.

Also the most eligible
bachelor, I'm told.

Oh, come on, Bell.

We all know you're the
most eligible bachelor.

All our residents are standouts,
or they wouldn't be at Chastain.

I love Atlanta.

The street art, the craft beer.

A rough-but-ready Irishman

in Buckhead I've been
spending a lot of time with.

But have you seen the
surgical suites at Walter Reed?

Mayo and Stanford keep calling, too.

I... I don't know how
they all get my number.

I may be able to find you a replacement.

What? What is it?

A piece of bone.

Ah. It's an occupational hazard.

Keep me happy, Randolph.

What's your full name?

Josh Robinson.

Do you remember where you were
when you lost consciousness?

Uh, at a concert in the park.

Reviewing your chart, you've
had quite the interesting life.

How did you get so many injuries?

Uh, well, this one,
heli-rafting in Queenstown.

Um, mountain biking in Morocco.

Heat stroke, passed out. And, uh...

Death Drop in Zambia, two years ago.

Still can't bend it right.

Someone knows how to
use their vacation time.

I'm a professional adventure guide.

- Seriously?
- Yeah.

I just took a group free diving.

- Wow.
- Oh, nice.

You on any medications?

Uh, yeah. It's in my bag.

Oh, there it is.

- Do you mind?
- No.

You have injuries to
mark your experiences.

I get tattoos to mark mine.

I don't see any prescription drugs.

These are all supplements.

Oh, Pharma. Bad juju.

Josh.

Do not get me started on Big Pharma.

Milk thistle, kava kava, omega-3.

Ironic you take all these
supplements to stay healthy

and you end up stampeded by
a bunch of drunk music fans.

Stampede? What stampede?

And that's when you
realized that my client

- passed out before the stampede?
- Yes.

And how many patients did you
treat that day, Dr. Hawkins?

I don't recall.

More than five? More than ten?

I'll tell you. 20.

Chastain strictly adheres
to ACGME guidelines.

How can one resident possibly provide

the standard of care
to that many patients?

We do it every day.

Disturbing footage today

from the Hotlanta Music Festival.

Liver and kidneys have seen better days.

History of Crohn's, too.

So lots of signs of the rock star life.

I'm worried the swelling
from his injury could cause

too much pressure in his leg.

Could lead to poor blood
flow and muscle necrosis.

Compartment syndrome. So if
we don't relieve the pressure,

he'll lose the leg. What's your plan?

Fasciotomy. I had Ortho
come check his pressures.

- Good.
- They're only at 20.

Well, watch it closely.

If it hits 30, they'll
need to operate right away.

Which is why I have
him on the OR's radar.

But the anesthesiologist said
he'd like to have him sober.

Well, his blood alcohol
concentration is .04.

Give him a few hours.

He says that he hasn't
had a drink in a year.

But his serum alcohol
level tells us he did.

Tests don't lie. Alcoholics do.

Yeah, maybe sober companions, too.

How does one man take all of these?

Those are just the supplements

that our adventure
guide remembers taking.

Kava kava was banned in Europe

for causing liver toxicity.

That might explain all the bleeding,

- but not why he passed out.
- If I had to guess,

supplements and dehydration
caused an arrhythmia.

- Knocked him out.
- I'm glad you called.

My firm has over 50 years of experience

with neck injuries, right?

You say the ER doctor
didn't even order an MRI?

That's malpractice.

You know, I'm all for patients'
rights, but doctors' jobs

are hard enough without
these vulture lawyers.

And who gets sued the most? ER doctors.

Patients need to be able to
sue. It's their only recourse

- for medical error.
- It's abused, and it leads

to cover-our-asses
overtreatment and over-testing.

Forcing doctors to
practice defensive medicine.

Well, let's just focus on our patients

and ignore the vultures.

Thank you.

I understand that you and Nurse
Nevins are in a relationship.

- Correct?
- That's irrelevant.

Do you think working
with your girlfriend

could possibly have
affected your performance?

Objection. Argumentative.

No. Never. There is no better
nurse practitioner than Nic.

Your client was lucky to have her.

Wouldn't you agree, Josh?

Easy.

Isn't it true

that you have a history
of deviating from protocol?

I know what you're trying to do.

You're suggesting I
put my patient at risk,

but you don't know a
damn thing about medicine.

Let's take five.

- Conrad.
- I know, I messed up.

I don't need to hear it from you.

This lawsuit could end your career.

You could even be
found personally liable.

And the hospital won't stand by you.

Not everyone at
Chastain is on your side.

- But you are?
- Yes.

You have no idea what
this is like for me.

I know exactly what this is like.

I get sued all the time.

Yeah, you probably win every single one,

no matter what you say or do.

Oh, don't be naive.

What happened doesn't matter.

A doctor can do everything
right, and still get screwed.

Just control your emotions,

and let the lawyers do their job.

I have to tell the
truth, no matter what.

Then you'll lose.

Maybe.

This metalhead is lucky
you brought her to me.

That paper-thin portal vein

could easily be ripped by a mere mortal.

I can do the Pringle Maneuver.

I can do it better.
Observe. Right angle.

Well, I've done it before,

- flawlessly.
- Well, if there's nothing

left for you to learn, Dr.
Okafor, why are you here?

Good question.

Pressure's still dropping.

We must have another
bleeder in there somewhere.

- Give me another right angle.
- She's losing too much blood.

- Let me help.
- Too many cooks.

Can we think about the safety
of the patient and not your ego?

Yeah, in the words of
my colleague Dr. Seuss,

"With this brain in my head
and this blade in my hand,

I shall save every man,
woman and child in the land."

- That is not Dr. Seuss.
- It's an adaptation.

Let me break it down,
Okafor: my house, my rules.

Pressure's coming back up.

Course it is.

Oh, it's so good to be king.

I'm getting sick of the king
treating me like his valet.

I'll tell you what: you can close.

Your life can change in a moment.

Levi was born with a
congenital corneal disease.

He'd never seen his mom,

until a synthetic cornea from
QuoVadis made it possible.

Utilizing advanced nanotechnology,

we provided better bio
integration, quicker healing...

I don't like being summoned.

You see, at QuoVadis,

we measure our success

by how much we improve the
quality of people's lives.

Which is why I'm so passionate

about our latest breakthrough device:

a safer, a more effective
vagus nerve stimulator.

Remember that rep serving free
lunch with her device demos?

- Mm.
- This is her boss.

He's barely 30. His company
valued at $4 billion.

He's a salesman, Dr. Bell.

The first thing they sell is themselves.

This talk of his has
over a million hits.

I find it quite moving.

What am I doing here?

Oh, I'm assigning you to Ortho.

Ha. Bell just made a funny.

I... I am not changing my residency.

Well, no one said you
were. You're just rotating

through a different surgical specialty.

This is a teaching
hospital, and when we said,

"See One, Do One, Teach One,"

we didn't literally mean just one.

See mine, do mine, be mine.

Okafor belongs to me.

I belong to no one. I
chose general surgery.

Me, not you.

Well, my bad, Dr. Bell.

I now see the value
in Okafor doing a dance

with our friends in Ortho.

Happy hammering.

Dr. Okafor, lovely to meet you.

You come highly recommended.

What did Dr. Austin really say?

That you're extremely demanding,

and in need of an attitude adjustment.

Also too talented for Ortho,

which he called glorified carpentry.

That was rude of him, but accurate.

You know what's beautiful about Ortho?

When something is broken, we fix it.

First up, full hip replacement.

Shall we go and give the patient
the ability to walk again?

Come on, just let it go. Relax, relax.

LFTs just came in.

Let me guess. Alcoholic liver disease?

Early stage.

Relax, relax, let it go.

Ingrid, what's going on?

We're having a party.

Are you sure all he's had are IV fluids?

Oh, I never took my
eyes off him, I swear.

Does this thing have a gas pedal?

Hey. What'd you slip him?

A drink? Pills?

Let me have a look at that leg.

I'm not drunk. I'm sober as a judge.

Pressure's too high. We can't wait.

All right, we need to
get him up to surgery,

or he'll lose his leg. Let's go.

It's his leg, but if he keeps
drinking, it won't matter.

You're up.

You want me to do the impaction?

Mm-hmm.

This hip replacement needs
to be attached firmly.

Think of something bothering you.

Pissed you got reassigned?
Get out those frustrations.

The news reports said hundreds of people

were injured at the concert,

most of them seriously, so
why am I only seeing 40 admits?

Where are the brain
injuries, the skull fractures,

the ICU admissions?

My understanding is,

the serious cases all
went to Atlanta General.

All of them? We're a
level one trauma center.

Why are the EMTs not
sending us the serious cases?

Because Atlanta General
has a new EMT lounge.

They have a 72-inch
TV with sports channels

and a popcorn machine with real butter.

They have a lounge just for the EMTs?

I heard Trinity Memorial
is building a better one.

We don't even give them stale bagels.

It's no wonder the ambulances
are going elsewhere.

Give us the room.

Maybe it's time you start doing your job

and let someone else cut
open obese Saudi princes.

He requested the chief
of surgery which... is me.

I've been doing due
diligence for the board.

Our costs are rising

and our profit margins are shrinking.

Yeah, which is why I have a meeting

with Gordon Page tonight.

Let me guess, Chastain agrees to use

only QuoVadis medical devices

and in exchange, Gordon gives us... ?

A 20% price cut to
boost our profit margins.

Strong deal for both sides.

I need a better one.

I've already told the board

not to worry because if you
can't land Gordon, I will.

I didn't have time
to go home and change.

Is this too wrinkled?

- No.
- Thanks.

There isn't a full-length
mirror in the ladies room.

I'll get right on that.

This party of Gordon's is a big deal.

I don't get a lot of face
time with him. He's too busy.

I want to make a good impression.

Oh, come on, Gordon can't be tougher

than some of these doctors at Chastain.

And you've been winning us over
since you walked in that door.

You got this.

I hope so. If I can be the one

to bring Gordon and Bell together,

I could be looking at a
bonus, which I really need.

I'm helping my parents put my
little sister through college.

You're gonna do great, Julian.

Thanks.

Oh, hey, could you do me a favor?

Sure.

I heard you're treating
Rhys Barrett in VIP.

If I confirmed that, I
would be violating HIPAA.

Just blink if he's here.

My parents would not
stop playing his albums

when I was a kid; his
songs are basically

the only ones I knew

until I dropped out of high school.

I'm still not telling you.

Pretty please.

Wait, you dropped out?

I went back. Anyway, I'll always have

a special place in my heart for Rhys.

I know he hasn't toured for years.

Drugs and alcohol, I guess,
which is such a shame,

but I will always be a fan.

I'd love to meet him.

So, who's my biggest competition?

Trinity Memorial beats you
on cochlear implants by 15%

but doesn't come close
on caths or aortic valves.

St. John's will make a play.

Yes, but with the VNS,

Gordon wants high-volume
pilot hospitals.

- More patients, better outcomes.
- Well, for a guy

who just moved to Atlanta,
he certainly has settled in.

Gordon.

I'd like to introduce you
to the CEO of Chastain,

- Dr. Randolph Bell.
- Randolph Bell.

I've been looking forward
to meeting you, Dr. Bell.

I hope Julian here has
made herself useful.

Oh, she's been invaluable.

So I've done some reading on
your vagus nerve stimulator.

Is it everything I hear?

More. Yeah, we just
wrapped our European trials.

It exceeded all our expectations.

We're going to help so many people.

Well, I'd love to see the
data from those trials.

Previous VNS stimulators
have all had issues.

Not ours. But we'd value your thoughts.

- Hey, Gordon.
- Ooh.

Can I introduce you to the governor?

He's on our board.

His son suffers from
refractory seizures,

so we might have some answers for him.

Governor.

You're even better than your reputation.

I need opportunities to hone my skills.

Lately, Dr. Austin would
rather show off his.

AJ does seem like a grade-A narcissist.

He's also the most brilliant
surgeon I've ever seen.

No offense.

Well, you haven't got to know me yet.

There are things I can teach
you even the Raptor doesn't know.

I'm listening.

And one for you, fresh from Havana.

Thank you.

Awful, what happened today
at that music festival.

Yeah, thank God no one died.

You know, you're the only CEO here

who didn't tell me in
the first two minutes

how much they made from it.

Well, don't give me too much credit.

To be perfectly frank,
we didn't do so well.

I'm impressed by your honesty.

I'm interested to know more about you.

Were your parents in medicine?

My parents...

ran a hardware store on Peachtree.

Worked seven days a week,

not that it got them anything.

- You wanted more?
- You know,

I just wanted them to wake up one day

and not have to go in,

not have a job to do,
no bills to worry about.

And being a doctor seemed like

the hardest, best thing I could become.

I'd have the power to
change their lives and...

Did you?

Well, they died while
I was still a resident.

They'd be proud if
they could see you now.

Look at you.

You're at the top of your game.

Well, I'm not done yet.

Look, I want Chastain to
handle the launch of your VNS

and... and I want us to negotiate

a financial relationship
that benefits us both.

I'm talking to several
CEOs who want the same.

Tonight? Enjoy the party.

I'm not ready to make my decision.

Rhys's blood alcohol
actually rose during surgery.

He's telling the truth.
He's not drinking.

Which means to save his liver,

we have to figure out
what's really going on.

And... ?

There's no explanation.

And what? We've been watching him.

The only thing he's put
in his mouth is licorice.

And?

Those vines, they're pure sugar.

I'm gonna order an EGD.

You snowboarded down a volcano?

- Yeah, I did.
- How is that even a thing?

You're a hell of a risk
taker. I respect that.

You guys ever take,
uh, adventure vacations?

Last year I went to Rwanda

to volunteer with Partners in Health.

That's the kind of vacation I like.

Yeah, he slept in a tent, made
friends with the village goat.

Yeah, they gave him to me as a gift.

They had this whole amazing
ceremony and everything,

but obviously, I
couldn't take him with me.

Hmm. And when Conrad left, they ate him.

No.

I don't like to talk about that part.

Wait a second. What's going on here?

Mr. Robinson's arm had a clot.

- Correct?
- Yes.

I suspected disseminated
intravascular coagulation.

It's a blood disorder that causes

simultaneous clotting and bleeding.

Why did you think DIC?

The liver toxicity from
the supplements combined

with the traumatic
injuries from being trampled

used up his blood's clotting factors.

His blood work later confirmed it.

This is life-threatening, correct?

It can be.

So you alerted your attending?

I did not alert my attending

because Mr. Robinson was stable.

The next step was to remove the clot.

Continue advancing
the cath to the cloth.

And this is where we confirm placement?

Yes. Inject contrast.

Once we get this clot,

we'll go down and get
the one in your leg.

So, you're saying what's wrong with me

was caused by my supplements?

Aspirating.

Ah, it's an easy mistake.

Supplements are completely unregulated.

People hear "natural"
and they think safe.

Good.

- So what's next?
- I want to monitor you

on low dose heparin before you
go back to conquering the world.

Thanks, man. You're a great doctor.

And if any of y... y... you...

What's happening?

Slurred speech. Right-sided weakness.

There might be another
clot in his brain.

We need to get him to CT now.

How you doing, Josh?

Okay, one more minute.

Josh's heart rate's slowing.

His respirations are irregular.

And severe hypertension.
Cushing's triad.

That's not a clot.

That's a massive hemorrhage.

He needs surgical
decompression. Page Neurosurgery.

- He's starting to seize.
- His ICP's going up.

- Where's Dr. Jacobs?
- In a resection.

It'll be another ten minutes.

No, that's too late. We need him now.

- Left pupil's blown.
- He'll never make it.

How long did you wait for Dr. Jacobs?

The CTs show that Mr.
Robinson's hemorrhage

would have rendered him brain-dead.

We have a right to know how
long Dr. Hawkins waited for Neuro

before taking matters
into his own hands.

It was an emergency. He
wasn't watching a clock. Ju...

Move on.

The burr should've been performed

by a trained neurosurgeon in the OR,

not a third-year in the hallway

where my client was more likely
to contract the meningitis

that would put him on
a long road to recovery.

I had done them in Afghanistan.

You're not on a
battlefield, Dr. Hawkins.

Now answer the question.

Seconds?

Think back.

How long did you wait?

- How long... ?
- I didn't.

Scrapings from your stomach lining

stained positive for
an overgrowth of fungus.

Something called A.B.S.

I have abs?

Auto-brewery syndrome.

Sounds fun, but I'm guessing it's not.

One cause of A.B.S. is
consuming so much alcohol

in the past that yeast
builds up in the stomach.

That yeast now turns carbs into alcohol.

I'm making beer inside me?

Yeah, and these were making it
worse because sugars are carbs.

Well, they ought to
put that on the label.

We'll get you on an antifungal.

Cut carbs, stick to meat and vegetables.

In a few hours, you'll
be sober again, for real.

Did you say, uh, low carbs or no carbs?

You can thank me later.

For?

For talking to Bell tomorrow

and persuading him to
send you home to my OR.

I don't want those hands
picking up any bad habits.

I'm fine where I am.

My mentor Dr. Abe Benedict
studied under DeBakey himself.

It's a sacred lineage,
a genealogy of giants,

and you belong in that line.

I'm not interested in being
in your line of giants.

I am the first of my own line...

an ancestor, not your descendant.

How's the low-carb life?

I'll take it.

Good news is you'll recover

and so will your liver...
if you stay clean.

I will. Thanks, Doc.

You all right?

Yeah.

I was pretty far gone before I met Tony.

Honestly, I don't think
he thought I'd make it.

He couldn't get through to me,

but in the end, my fans did.

I started getting all these
tweets and DMs, letters.

I never realized how much they cared.

Saved my life.

But some of them got
hurt at the park today.

Accidents happen. It's not your fault.

I just wanted so badly
to hit that stage again,

to feel that crowd out there.

People who actually
came to hear me play,

I let them down.

No. No, you didn't.

Feels like it.

- Dr. Okafor's a natural.
- Give her a week.

She'll be missing the delicate
artistry of our body's vital organs.

- You're worried I'll ruin her.
- She's an artist,

likely to become

one of the great cardiothoracic
surgeons of her generation.

Don't take that from her.

Did you ever think maybe the
best decision is her decision?

You said we're going to the cafeteria.

I lied. I had a better idea.

Because this hospital was
founded on a simple idea:

improve the health and well-being

of Atlanta, and today,

Chastain's commitment to this community

is as strong as ever,

which is why we are
forgiving the medical bills

of every single patient of ours

who's been affected by this tragedy.

And we're asking all Atlanta
hospitals to do the same.

And we have a really
special surprise for you.

Mr. Rhys, I'm Dr. Bell. Thank you.

They're all yours.

What do you think?

Good enough place for a comeback?

You've earned it.

I know some of you

have been knocked down
and you're-you're hurting.

This is a song about how we
can help each other get back up.

So you couldn't tell me
before that Rhys was here,

but now you can tell the whole world?

I didn't call them.

Bell probably wanted his
philanthropy televised.

He always brings out his best
self in front of the cameras.

Forgiving patient bills
won't cost us much.

How much will the other hospitals lose?

Millions.

And I hear the EMT lounge you're
building puts theirs to shame.

Oh, it'll pay for itself in a month.

How about Gordon?

I'm closing in on him.

You only came to that
festival to see me, didn't you?

Because I volunteered on our day off.

That's not true. I love live music.

You never go with me.

'Cause you sway the whole
time. It's like being on a boat.

- It's annoying.
- I do not sway.

You're a swayer.

Really?

Yeah.

All right, well, now you're swaying.

♪ From myself... ♪

I won't make the same mistakes.
I will make time for us.

We're busy.

We both know what we signed
up for, but I will, too.

♪ Yeah, you... ♪

Every day, doctors make decisions.

Sometimes they're hard,
sometimes they're easy, but...

this is one of the easy ones.

Josh is here because I took a risk.

I broke a rule to save a life,
and if I hadn't, he'd be dead.

But...

... you know that.

We're done here.

You were right.

It's time I stop telling you what to do.

Will this be harder
to win at trial? Yes.

But we are both fighters. We
will win this your way, son.

And I will be with you
every step of the way,

if you will let me.

Thank you.

I get it.

A doctor saves you,
you come home grateful,

but rehab gets hard, money dries up

and your future doesn't look like

you hoped it would. Soon, the doctor

who stuck his neck out to save your ass

starts to represent an opportunity.

It's not personal.

It is for me. Conrad's my son.

So here's what happens next.

I am having a nondisclosure
agreement drawn up as we speak.

It will be delivered
to you within the hour,

along with a generous check.

It is an off-the-record settlement

that Conrad will never know about.

You will sign it.

My son will be in the
cafeteria getting a coffee

before his next shift.

You are going to go find him, apologize,

tell him you will not be taking a dime,

shake his hand, and leave.

- And if I don't?
- Mr. Robinson,

I am a man of almost unlimited means,

and I will use them to keep you in court

the rest of your natural life.

Now, you seem like a nice kid.

I would hate to see you
broke, on the street,

buried in legal bills
you cannot afford to pay.

Because the truth is,

you can't win a lawsuit that never ends.

So, the next time
someone saves your life,

just... say thank you.
