"We will find a candidate who can be talked into donating"
Pure Genius
"a portion of their liver to save"
Pure Genius
"- this woman's life. - Um,"
Pure Genius
"setting aside privacy concerns,"
Pure Genius
"from what you're proposing,"
Pure Genius
"we're talking 5% of the population, at best."
Pure Genius
"Wait a minute."
Pure Genius
"- Got one. - Great."
Pure Genius
"I am sorry, but how is that possible?"
Pure Genius
"Well, Amelia's forms said her father is deceased."
Pure Genius
"showed he made a visit two weeks ago"
Pure Genius
"to a hospital in Gilroy, California."
Pure Genius
"He could be a match."
Pure Genius
"A living donor?"
Pure Genius
"We think it's our only option."
Pure Genius
"Unfortunately, we don't believe we can"
Pure Genius
"get UNOS to change their policy"
Pure Genius
"and move you up the donor list."
Pure Genius
"Uh, the living donor is the best option."
Pure Genius
"Take a piece of someone's"
Pure Genius
"healthy liver, transplant it,"
Pure Genius
"and it will grow inside of you, into a healthy liver."
Pure Genius
"I know about living donors."
Pure Genius
"(scoffs) I also know"
Pure Genius
"I have a very rare blood type."
Pure Genius
"I don't know anyone who would do that for me."
Pure Genius
"Well, there is a possibility."
Pure Genius
"Um..."
Pure Genius
"your father..."
Pure Genius
"was mistakenly listed as deceased"
Pure Genius
"And he is also O-negative."
Pure Genius
"Of course, we would"
Pure Genius
"still need to make sure he's a match,"
Pure Genius
"- but we need your permission to... - No."
Pure Genius
"- I'm not going to ask... - Amelia, this may be your only option..."
Pure Genius
"- James, let her talk. - I'm no longer in contact"
Pure Genius
"with him."
Pure Genius
"That's all I want to say about it."
Pure Genius
"And he's been a chronic alcoholic for 30 years."
Pure Genius
"His liver wouldn't do me any good anyway."
Pure Genius
"Macrophage."
Pure Genius
"Eaters, the Pac-Man of the human immune system."
Pure Genius
"And macrophage colony-stimulating factor"
Pure Genius
"stimulates a cascade of events that causes"
Pure Genius
"the liver to expand and form new..."
Pure Genius
"healthy cells."
Pure Genius
"Yes, we're all doctors, we know what they are."
Pure Genius
"But macrophage therapy's not gonna cure"
Pure Genius
"Amelia's vanishing bile duct syndrome."
Pure Genius
"I realize that, my question is"
Pure Genius
"can it clean her father's cirrhotic liver?"
Pure Genius
"- That's... interesting. - That's very interesting."
Pure Genius
"The father's not an option. Amelia was very clear about that."
Pure Genius
"But she said that on the assumption"
Pure Genius
"that her father wasn't a viable option"
Pure Genius
"- because of his alcoholism. - She said no, James."
Pure Genius
"And we don't know if the father's gonna donate."
Pure Genius
"He said he'd do anything to help."
Pure Genius
"CHANNARAYAPATRA: We could draw healthy cells"
Pure Genius
"from his bone marrow."
Pure Genius
"And then we inject the microphages"
Pure Genius
"the damaged liver from within."
Pure Genius
"Wouldn't they, Dr. Wallace?"
Pure Genius
"You're talking about causing a huge"
Pure Genius
"inflammatory reaction in her liver,"
Pure Genius
"and hoping for a good outcome."
Pure Genius
"- It's never been done in a human. - WOMAN: James?"
Pure Genius
"Mr. Fischer is here."
Pure Genius
"(clears throat)"
Pure Genius
"James, may I have a moment, please?"
Pure Genius
"I have to talk to Malik."
Pure Genius
"Think I need to move up by bet on Wallace's exit date."
Pure Genius
"James, she made it clear, she did not want us to call her father."
Pure Genius
"It's the only way to save her life."
Pure Genius
"This is a highly experimental treatment"
Pure Genius
"that could end up doing nothing for the daughter"
Pure Genius
"and impose considerable risk to the father."
Pure Genius
"Or it could cure Amelia and fix her father's liver to boot."
Pure Genius
"- Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding! - James,"
Pure Genius
"you cannot keep making these rash decisions"
Pure Genius
"that undermine both, your patients,"
Pure Genius
"You're playing with people's lives."
Pure Genius
"W, you're sounding like that beaten down doctor"
Pure Genius
"from Cincinnati."
Pure Genius
"This is Bunker Hill, Dr. Wallace."
Pure Genius
"We don't give up on our patients"
Pure Genius
"even when they've given up on themselves."
Pure Genius
"Just..."
Pure Genius
"I will talk to Amelia."
Pure Genius
"Don't worry, W,"
Pure Genius
"I can talk anyone into doing anything."
Pure Genius
"I mean, you're here, aren't you?"
Pure Genius
"(chuckles) There he is."
Pure Genius
"The man. Mr. Bell,"
Pure Genius
"- I am a huge admirer of yours. - Aw."
Pure Genius
"That is an extraordinary young woman."
Pure Genius
"- This is... - Dr. Wallace?"
Pure Genius
"- I've done my homework. - (Bell and Fischer laugh)"
Pure Genius
"It's an honor to meet you."
Pure Genius
"Oh, Simon, please."
Pure Genius
"You know, I was shocked to hear"
Pure Genius
"what's going on with my baby girl,"
Pure Genius
"but to know that she is in you guys' hands,"
Pure Genius
"Thank you for getting here so quickly."
Pure Genius
"When can I see her?"
Pure Genius
"Well, why don't we get you checked in first."
Pure Genius
"Hmm, right?"
Pure Genius
"WALLACE: Then he totally ignored the fact"
Pure Genius
"that the patient specifically asked him"
Pure Genius
"not to contact her father."
Pure Genius
"He just does whatever he likes."
Pure Genius
"Dad, I'm just kind of busy."
Pure Genius
"- Yeah. - It's natural that you have a reaction"
Pure Genius
"- to me taking this job, - Dad..."
Pure Genius
"but you seem on edge, have you, um... um,"
Pure Genius
"- (door opens) - are you still taking your meds?"
Pure Genius
"Please stop treating me like a child."
Pure Genius
"(door closes)"
Pure Genius
"Uh, it's just, um... you know, I'm not there, and..."
Pure Genius
"Yeah, that's pretty clear."
