Clips from Pure Genius - Around the World in Eight Kidneys (S01E01)

"(whispers): Yeah. I just..."
Pure Genius
"I'd rather push my own hair back."
Pure Genius
"- Noted. - Okay, guys,"
Pure Genius
"we've got a problem."
Pure Genius
"What is it, Doctor?"
Pure Genius
"My donor... donor eight... she's pregnant."
Pure Genius
"Astrid Pierre?"
Pure Genius
"This jeopardizes the entire chain."
Pure Genius
"Her doctor in Haiti must have missed it"
Pure Genius
"because she's only four weeks along."
Pure Genius
"Pregnant?"
Pure Genius
"I don't understand."
Pure Genius
"Why can't she donate while pregnant?"
Pure Genius
"In this case, your donor's cardiovascular"
Pure Genius
"and renal functions changed as a result of the pregnancy."
Pure Genius
"for the mother and the fetus."
Pure Genius
"So we're back to square one."
Pure Genius
"I have less than a month to live."
Pure Genius
"We're doing everything in our power"
Pure Genius
"(sniffles)"
Pure Genius
"What's going to happen to the kidney chain?"
Pure Genius
"Well, Lauren, that's the other reason I'm here."
Pure Genius
"A lot of that depends on you."
Pure Genius
"Why?"
Pure Genius
"Well, I know this is tough to hear,"
Pure Genius
"It's entirely your choice."
Pure Genius
"But that means the chain falls apart."
Pure Genius
"So no one will get a kidney?"
Pure Genius
"That's right."
Pure Genius
"Or?"
Pure Genius
"Or you stay in the chain and donate,"
Pure Genius
"Your participation"
Pure Genius
"And my mom?"
Pure Genius
"She wouldn't receive a kidney."
Pure Genius
"Has Lauren made a decision yet?"
Pure Genius
"Not yet."
Pure Genius
"Okay, so..."
Pure Genius
"is she fully aware what's at stake?"
Pure Genius
"That there are seven other families depending on her?"
Pure Genius
"I told her the facts. She's aware."
Pure Genius
"She might be his only chance of getting a kidney."
Pure Genius
"He's running out of time. Is there anything else we can do?"
Pure Genius
"Dr. Brockett, you know it's against the rules"
Pure Genius
"to coerce a donor, and highly unethical."
Pure Genius
"Yes, I know."
Pure Genius
"I know that, but this is an extreme case."
Pure Genius
"Seven other people could die if they don't get a kidney."
Pure Genius
"I realize that, Dr. Brockett."
Pure Genius
"I told her."
Pure Genius
"Now it's up to her to decide."
Pure Genius
"What are you making, Brandon?"
Pure Genius
"Niko wears this mask when he's fighting."
Pure Genius
"I'm making one for me and my donor."
Pure Genius
"Dr. Brockett."
Pure Genius
"Can we have a word with you?"
Pure Genius
"We heard there might be a problem with the chain."
Pure Genius
"How bad is it?"
Pure Genius
"Unfortunately, a donor did fall out"
Pure Genius
"due to an unexpected medical complication."
Pure Genius
"But we are doing everything we can to keep the chain alive."
Pure Genius
"Dr. Brockett, this is our son's only hope."
Pure Genius
"He'll die if he doesn't get a kidney."
Pure Genius
"What if I donated, too? Would that help?"
Pure Genius
"I'm afraid it's more complicated than that."
Pure Genius
"What if we offered the donor money?"
Pure Genius
"We don't have much, but could scrape together something."
Pure Genius
"Unfortunately, the process doesn't work that way."
Pure Genius
"I'm so sorry."
Pure Genius
"Please... Dr. Brockett."
Pure Genius
"He's our only child."
Pure Genius
"Promise me that you'll do everything you can to save him."
Pure Genius
"I promise."
Pure Genius
"Where we are Angie?"
Pure Genius
"I made two liters of bioactive blood plasma, like you asked."
Pure Genius
"It's the same formula we used to test the new dialysis machine."
Pure Genius
"Perfect."
Pure Genius
"I have been making some calls around town,"
Pure Genius
"and according to my sources, this..."
Pure Genius
"is the most promising artificial kidney prototype"
Pure Genius
"currently in development."
Pure Genius
"Wait, Hydrus Labs?"
Pure Genius
"The owner of this company's a moron."
Pure Genius
"- You... What? - I just bought Hydrus."
Pure Genius
"But, James, I told you, no prototypes are ready."
Pure Genius
"I mean, this one has shoddy membranes."
Pure Genius
"How do you know?"
Pure Genius
"Because it's my job to know."
Pure Genius
"I've been working on similar tech, and the only reason"
Pure Genius
"Hydrus Labs is ahead of me is because they have"
Pure Genius
"It's all they do."
Pure Genius
"You and I can make this work. Come on, let's test it out."
Pure Genius
"Come on."
Pure Genius
"Fine."
Pure Genius
"Okay, so, once the bioactive blood"
Pure Genius
"filters through the kidney..."
Pure Genius
"- Mm-hmm... - it should come out in two streams."
Pure Genius
"Red for clean blood and yellow for urine."
Pure Genius
"All right, go ahead."
Pure Genius
"(beep)"
Pure Genius
"(whirring)"
Pure Genius
"See?"
Pure Genius
"(alarm beeping)"
Pure Genius
"See?"
Pure Genius
"I told you."
Pure Genius
"- Hey. - Hey."
Pure Genius
"You okay?"
Pure Genius
"They heard the chain might be falling apart,"
Pure Genius
"and they're getting desperate."
Pure Genius
"I asked Wallace to push Lauren Durand to donate,"
Pure Genius
"Said it would be unethical."
Pure Genius
"He's just following transplant rules."
Pure Genius
"Yeah, but we're Bunker Hill..."
Pure Genius
"since when do we ever follow the rules?"
Pure Genius
"He's our chief of staff."
Pure Genius
"He's just trying to keep things on the rails."
Pure Genius
"So you agree with him?"
Pure Genius
"You're not gonna like my answer."
Pure Genius
"Just be honest with me."
Pure Genius
"as a doctor, what do you think?"
Pure Genius
"I think the rules exist for a reason."
