Yes, I know. But you knew the other guy was in much worse shape. - They'll both make it. - You didn't know that. I did. Look, you made a moral choice, not a medical one. I guess I'm just... Excuse me, Doc. Are you an American? - I'm surprised, that's all. - Hang on. Wait. Can I talk to you? Yo, bro! This is New York. Gunshot wounds aren't entirely unfamiliar to me. My opinion was that they were both stable. I wanted two ORs, I didn't get them. I had to choose. On my right, I see a cop with his wife in the hallway, and pictures of his kids. On my left, a guy who pulled a gun on a city bus. - What's this stuff? - It's what he came in. I had ten seconds to make a choice. I had to make it. - Do we have a name for him? - He won't talk. I hope I did the right thing. I think I did. Can you tell me your name, sir? Oh, shit. We started to work him up. He looked sour. Maybe I didn't, I don't know. We only left him ten minutes. Listen, I'm sorry. I'm just... Can you tell me your name, sir? It's okay, it's okay. Jesus! Hands, please! You may well be right and I appreciate it. Get him in the back room. I will resign first thing in the morning. Oxygen. Joel, That's fair. You'll have to calm down for me. Good night. Calm down. Simon, how's my EKG? I need some numbers. Look, Jodie? Any second.

Where's it going? I gave you a prescription for pain meds yesterday. He could be septic. I lost it. I got mugged. Look at this. How many times you get mugged a week? He's post-op. Recent surgical scarring, fresh tracks. Come on. I need some damn medication. Possible IV, possible intravenous drug user. Simon, how's it No, take the vitamins I gave you. Try to exercise occasionally. ... Sorry, but my membership to the tennis club just expired. Fix the machine, for chrissake! Should I do dips on the turnstiles in the subway? - Here's what I want.

I know I'm not supposed to say this, but I could've screwed up You had a hospital band on your wrist. Where were you being treated? Right. You shouldn't be saying it. You taking any drugs? What medicine did they give you? Maybe we should have someone look it over. I don't know. Why? Triphase. Because I've never seen anything like this in my life. Whatever they put in you... Maybe we should check it's not something new. And what is Triphase? What is that? What's new? He's homeless, cold, stoned on God knows what, he Is it what they gave you where you were? Tell Izzy I need a psych consult. Then call the pharmacy, find out what Triphase is. Do you have epilepsy? Stay with me. Do you have epilepsy? Diabetes? Asthma?

First of all, this has to be on the q.t. - Is that something you can handle? - Sure. No problem. You seen this gentleman around? His name is Teddy Dolson. I don't know. I mean, take a look. I could put the picture up. Ask around. See if anybody's seen him. That could be damaging. Mind if I look around? Sure. Whatever you say. How do you know this? I can't even put faces to half these names. I don't know. I talk to people, I suppose. Plus, I see their files. You what? Rostering. It's okay. Have you seen mine?

"To have worked so long, so brilliantly, with so little regard... ...for personal gain makes you a credit not only... ...to neurological medicine, but also to your country. Many congratulations."

The world's rat population will be overjoyed. And your family? Are they medical? Where's those darn cartoons? Not really. This is so nice of you. A lot of hypochondriacs, but that's not quite the same. I got you a baklava. Did the file say my dad had his license revoked? Thank you. I'm sorry. I'm such an idiot. - Ready for some coffee? - Sure. No, that's fine. Jimmy, can I have another coffee? I'm sorry. Jesus, how many have you gotta do? I'll put you out of your misery. He... . Well, that is exactly what he did, in fact. How many have you done? For a very old friend in a lot of pain with terminal lymph I've done three. When are they due? - Cassmore will be a pretty good doctor. - Great. Exactly. That's exactly what I had. Thank you. Berringer. I think he'll be a shockingly bad doctor. - Isn't that a bit harsh? - No. You're right. He's lethal. I'll give him "fair". I don't wanna go any lower than that. And Myzerra? - The nurses like him. - He's good, isn't he? cancer. Where do you stand on that one? I don't know. Nor do I. - Can I get you another baklava? - No, thank you. Sorry. Maybe next time we can go somewhere with better food. That would be anywhere in New York. Yes, it would. We should probably go, right? Yeah, absolutely.

That's all you have? Listen, you go. I'll clear all this up. Just pulmonary embolism? Thanks for doing this. He'd obviously been in a hospital. I wouldn't rule it out as a Thank you for the coffee. - Right. Coffee. - See you there. - Jimmy, can I get the check? - Sure. belief. Thanks. We have a burn coming off the bus. Sorry. Hang on. All right. No, forget it. Forget it. Got it. No, really, thank you. I have to go. There you go. I understand. Thank you very much for calling back. Who the hell is Claude Minkins? Did he bite? It's "was", I'm afraid. He died. One down, one to go. Tell me he had insurance. How we doing on Dolson? That's not at all likely. - We've been through a dozen shelters. - Fourteen. Plus the This is $ worth of lab work. hospitals. We're making runs through Grand Central twice a day. Okay. Keep pushing. I guess we're looking for a body by now, but... He's still alive. He'll be needing medication. I'll make out a list. Perhaps you're mistaken? I don't see how that's possible. With whom did you speak? I didn't get a name. Someone here who called me back. At : in the morning. Right. Can I... I had two people tied up for eight hours. What you do in your own home is your business. Let's get it into your head.

Take a look. If I tell you what I think, will you take the screamer? Very sick dude. Very funny labs. Catch you later. I do. I'm sorry. I realize it is very late. I apologize. Could you just answer me one thing? Does your hospital use a silver-colored bracelet? Okay, terrific. You don't know any hospital or anything that does use something like that? Thank you. I apologize again. Thank you very much. Okay, so let me just get this straight: - Move, please! - Your rays are back. No one phoned me, so that was my imagination running riot... - Thanks. In a minute. - Someone gonna move Mrs. Gardner? ...and you've no record of a patient of mine who died Guy, Line . ago. Your hospital's known for losing patients. Living and dead. What did you say? What did you say? It would be early hours of yesterday morning. You're quite a creepy person. Just looking for a cause of death. Before, I thought you were obstructive or inept. I'll hold, thanks. But now I think you're much more sinister. And that's it? I think you better leave. Thanks. Excuse me. Thanks very much for calling back. I'm looking for an autopsy report on a patient called Claude Minkins. hours symptom... Someone get the gurney! I have his lab report and frankly, it's completely beyond

Gave you a cause of death, which you didn't believe. It just didn't make much sense. I can see that. I have no record of this man. I think, in fact, you have. If you could take another look. It's Minkins. M-I-N-K-I-N-S. Pulmonary embolism. I have no record of this man. Sorry. Who's actually in charge here then? That would be me. I've been here since midnight and I made no such calls.

We'll explain them. It's for a great cause. - You lying about this? - Everything okay? Where am I? Yeah, thanks. I'm your doctor, Mr. Randall. You're in the hospital. Here, I'm just off. You can pop your boss back in his drawer now. Apparently, you were threatening and abusive. For God's sake. I mean, that's just ridiculous. I was mildly sarcastic, but under the circumstances... ...I was astonishingly restrained. The doctor you spoke to needed protection from an orderly. That is just a lie. Who told you that? Any family? The chief medical examiner. My daughter, but... - This is starting to sound really weird. - Get me the charts and go home. What about the body? They have no receipt on Claude Minkins. Who called me? Who? Give me a name. I didn't get a name. I was busy. Isn't this a little strange? "A little strange"? It sounds a lot strange. I did not threaten or be abusive to anyone. Then my apology was unnecessary. This whole thing has to be connected. You saw the report. The guy had a metabolic meltdown. He had a total failure in every system. It's Ever see numbers like that? The answer to your question. Of course not. The report's a joke. I was a schoolteacher for All it proves is our lab is even more fucked than people say. Minkins, Claude. He was here last year. - Then what about the wristband? - What about it? He was an ER walk-in. Jeff, I'm not trying to be annoying. Fractured carpal. A man died on my table, and I have no idea why. What's that? Ankle? This is a repair shop. We're not here to do research. No, it's a wrist. I got to each one. - I've heard the repair-shop speech. - Let me put it to you this way. - No. - None. Thanks, Pat. I'm your boss and I'm telling you... But he's got an outstanding balance of $ ...drop this thing. What, for x-rays? Now go home and go to bed. Let's see. - Judith.

Why the hell is he having bloodwork when he had a broken No, I'm horribly aware you've come to ask about the intern evaluations. We'll tell you. How behind are you? Looks like it's been dumped. - I did do a few the other day. - How behind are you? Meaning? - Criminally. - I could pretend I haven't seen you. It's the system. It sucks. Judith, that would be incredibly kind. There's not enough storage, so every month... - Thanks. - Lf you play for the residents. ...they have to pull stuff down to make room. No, not basketball.

They're outside. They're safe. I was in the park. It must be pretty confusing, huh? We were wondering, is there anybody you'd like us to contact?

When her mother died. I see. Anybody else you'd like us No, I'm pretty much on my own now. Could you stand up for me? Forgive me for asking... ...but I need to ask you a couple of questions. - What is, say, six times four? - Excuse me. I was wondering, do you suppose I could get something to eat? Absolutely. - Why don't we do that right now. - Thanks. I'd appreciate it. to get in touch with? Thank you.

Don't you have that important reception at NYU? You could try the Records Annex... Jesus Christ! ...but it'll take you a million years to get clearance. Where you going? I'm in serious pain here. I'll tell you what. Can you do another one for me? And this motherfucker's Dolson, Teddy. Please? Anyhow, my apologies again. All right. I'll do Dolson. Dolson for you. It's not a problem. You've met the rest of the team? Dolson, Theodore. I think so. At the interview. Undomiciled, conjunctivitis, no next of kin. - Dr. Sharma. - Nice seeing you again, Doctor. Another deadbeat. - Very nice to see you. - Thank you. Outstanding balance, $ This is for lab work too? - Good to see you. - How are you? Yep. Bloodwork. - Dr. Breceski. - Welcome to neurology. For conjunctivitis? And do you know Professor Myrick? I guess not. Let's see. Who has nothing to do with this program... Details. ...but was here and wanted to say hello. You sure know how to pick them. You took care of a neighbor's son. A cab accident. I mean, we have been bitching about this system since they put it in. Let me get this straight. You're saying someone... on. ...has deleted all this stuff? Thank you, it's a great honor. What? You mean on purpose? So you're moving on? What the hell are you doing? That's right. I start here in the summer. I'm looking for the file on Minkins. Well, that's great. He was here before. Someone tampered with his record. If you think that ER was tough... Anyone see you come in? ...wait till Jim gets started with you. Look, Jeff. Right, Jim? There are so many things about this which are so odd. Dr. Myrick? Would you include your recent self? I probably shouldn't, but can I ask you a question? You nailed a fellowship. Certainly. You're two months away. You're going to places I could never get to. Anyone finds you in here, and you aren't going anywhere. So relax, okay? By the way, your mystery man? I called security. They're looking into it. Okay? Now, come on. Come on. I was fighting my ass off like a gladiator. He didn't have a knife, he had a machete. Did I say six inches? Fourteen inches long. No lie, man. The motherfuckers took my scrips and all. Wait a minute, what kind of stitching you call that? It's good. It's fine. Bullshit. I'm homeless, not stupid. It looks like the Bride of Frankenstein. Tell him. Those are terrible sutures. You're a terrible suturer. See? I'm gonna make you all happy. - Jack, can you finish this up? - Sure. Good. And what's next? Okay, basically... ...white male, forties. Elevated thyroid functions. Enzyme toxicity just off the charts. Convulsions, high fever... ...pulse, pressure and vitals in total disarray. Who are we talking about? It's just a patient of mine. You'd have to rule out meningitis. Did you do a spinal tap? Oh, no, he died on us. What about postmortem? Believe it or not, we've lost the body. Well, that never helps. Bottom line, without a tap, you'll never know. That's what I thought. Thank you very much. Sure. I guess I was a big help. So? They said you were terrific. Anyhow, I heard you'd be here and I just wanted to pass that . . Dr. Cohen. years old!

He's not gonna drop it. So I go to the Records Annex to look... I'm headed out. I'll see you later. She's eating very well this morning. How you doing? - You take care of your shift? - My partner's gonna cover for me. What do we do? I have no idea what they're trying to cover up. So what's this guy's name? But maybe there's something we should be doing. Luthan. This isn't what Jeff told me. Dr. Guy Luthan. - You spoke to him? - You're pulling over You're okay on this, right? I looked it up. It's too much. People burn out. It's not gonna go in my memoirs. I'm not overworked. You can't handle this... I brought you over. I'm your biggest fan. ...you better tell me now. Jeff may not be a great boss, but I trust him. Look, I'm in, okay? Exactly what I'd have said three days... I'm in. When you accuse him of conspiracy, you start to sound a little My ears are ringing.

You need to see what it is we're doing. No. There's a Detective Stone down here. I'm He'd like very much to speak with someone in charge. Three years with a rat to get to a dog? Someone's coming down. And after five years, if I'm lucky, maybe I can work on a Great. Lock these doors. She stays here. I don't want him leaving here alive. Find him, okay? Gentlemen... ...how do you do? I'm Dr. Myrick. How can I help you? This is Triphase. - You've got the right place. - And it wasn't easy. It took us... Sniper in a restaurant, Had a guy, spent four hours trying to get your phone number. So let me get this straight. Triphase is like a part of Biosyntex, right? That's it. Yes. Look, I'm right in the middle of a procedure upstairs. Good doctors do the correct thing. Could we... Great doctors have the guts to do the right thing. You know a Dr. Judith Gruszynski? Your father had those guts. From Gramercy Hospital. So do you. - Is she all right? - She's fine. Two patients on either side. One, a gold-shield cop... She got this nutty call from a guy named Luthan. Dr. Luthan. ...the other, a maniac that pulled a gun on a bus. You know him? Who do you work on first? Is he a student? You knew. No, he's in Emergency. He's a Brit. You knew. Did you check the scrub room? If you could cure cancer by killing one person, wouldn't Nothing. Do it again. I'm going down. Can I ask what the hell you do here? Research. Medical research. I'm a neurologist. Is that right? Are you talking about the doctor arrested for drugs? That's right. I really do need to get upstairs. We're freezing samples. It's a delicate procedure. We gotta get a statement. Later? Could I call you? Or come by the precinct? You know... ...I'll be done here in about All right. We'll eat. Perfect. It's nerves, right? Excuse me? minutes. you? Wouldn't that be brave? One person and cancer's gone tomorrow?

Pick your tragedy. years old. I don't have much time.

Helen hasn't walked for I can cure her. And everyone like her. The door's open. You can go out there...

...and put a stop to everything and it'll be over. Or we can go upstairs and change medicine forever. It's your call. Maybe you're right.

- Next time, I pick the restaurant. - Right. Those men upstairs, maybe... Dr. Luthan? ...there isn't much point to their lives. You're from Dr. Cohen's office, right? Maybe they're doing a great thing for the world. My name is Myrick. Maybe they are heroes. Ruth Myrick. But they didn't choose to be. - Would you like to come inside? - No. You chose for them. Thank you. You didn't choose your wife... I have been trying to decide what to do about this... ...or your granddaughter. ...ever since my husband's death. You didn't ask for volunteers. As far as I can tell... You chose for them. ...it's pretty much all the data from his research. And you can't do that. I think you should have it. Because you're a doctor. I believe there's hope in this package. And you took an oath. Why me? And you're not God. I believe my husband was trying to do a good thing. So I don't care if you can do what you say you can. But in the wrong way. Or if you can cure every disease on this planet. Perhaps you could do it... You tortured and murdered those men upstairs. ...the right way. That makes you a disgrace to your profession. I hope you go to jail for the rest of your life. I'm sorry. Help him, please! Please help him. He's been shot! Oh, no, no! God, no! Help him, he's been shot. Help me. Please. Get some backup. You okay? I didn't think it was possible, but your cafeteria is worse than ours. I like it. I'm sure you do. So will you visit us soon, or are you too high and mighty now? I think I'm too high and mighty. - I'll come. Soon. How is everyone? - Pretty good. Jodie starts again in the fall. Yeah, I heard that. That's great. She did okay. So come visit us. Don't forget who your real friends are. The ones who fired me, right? You looked pretty guilty. You didn't look unfishy yourself. I'm sorry. You should be. - Take care. Good to see you. - Good to see you too.
