Clips from Pure Genius - Not Your Grandmother's Robotic Surgery (S01E01)

"But in my experience, with a cancer this advanced,"
Pure Genius
"there's very little we can offer to..."
Pure Genius
"to cure it."
Pure Genius
"What exactly are you saying?"
Pure Genius
"Well, we're going to keep you comfortable"
Pure Genius
"and manage any pain you might develop."
Pure Genius
"What about chemo?"
Pure Genius
"Radiation?"
Pure Genius
"It..."
Pure Genius
"it wouldn't be wise to put you through that"
Pure Genius
"when we couldn't expect results."
Pure Genius
"We're not giving up,"
Pure Genius
"Mrs. Gardner."
Pure Genius
"We're gonna explore every avenue."
Pure Genius
"I'm not giving up."
Pure Genius
"Okay?"
Pure Genius
"BROCKETT: So, we presumed his blindness was in part due"
Pure Genius
"along with the rest of his eye."
Pure Genius
"When we turned up the inhibitor's signal"
Pure Genius
"in proximity to the optic nerve,"
Pure Genius
"it triggered a visual impulse, a flash of light."
Pure Genius
"despite all that gnarly damage to the front of his eye,"
Pure Genius
"the cable at the back of his eye can still transmit visual data."
Pure Genius
"So you want me to basically connect"
Pure Genius
"his optic nerve digitally so he can see?"
Pure Genius
"Is it possible? Maybe by modifying the same interface"
Pure Genius
"as the nerve inhibitor, but using it as a photo receptor?"
Pure Genius
"That's a gross oversimplification,"
Pure Genius
"but let me work on it."
Pure Genius
"You're awesome."
Pure Genius
"If we can make him see again, it'll be revolutionary."
Pure Genius
"(chuckles) James must be stoked."
Pure Genius
"Actually, he's been super unavailable."
Pure Genius
"Yeah, that makes sense, actually."
Pure Genius
"What are you talking about?"
Pure Genius
"He's upset over Mrs. Gardner."
Pure Genius
"They just discovered she has stage four cancer,"
Pure Genius
"and she was basically, like, this surrogate mother to him."
Pure Genius
"She does? Wait, she was?"
Pure Genius
"Well, his adoptive mother was supposedly this awesome mom."
Pure Genius
"The reality is she was this very career-focused"
Pure Genius
"single mom who was never around. Adopting James was just"
Pure Genius
"basically checking off the kid box for her,"
Pure Genius
"so Mrs. Gardner became"
Pure Genius
"this big maternal figure to him."
Pure Genius
"Wait, how do you always know stuff like that?"
Pure Genius
"Well, in this case, it was just a major data research"
Pure Genius
"combined with intuition, conjecture,"
Pure Genius
"and a fair amount of guesswork."
Pure Genius
"But I'm 90% sure I'm 80% right."
Pure Genius
"Yeah, the flight was fine."
Pure Genius
"I'm just getting settled in."
Pure Genius
"Uh, no, I'm not in my office."
Pure Genius
"Apparently, uh, offices are a thing of the past."
Pure Genius
"Yeah, that's exactly what I said."
Pure Genius
"He keeps asking about an office."
Pure Genius
"I mean, who has offices anymore?"
Pure Genius
"And what is this, Mad Men?"
Pure Genius
"BROCKETT: He is legendary."
Pure Genius
"Board-certified in three surgical specialties."
Pure Genius
"I just don't see this lasting. I mean, him and James are"
Pure Genius
"opposite personalities but both equally stubborn."
Pure Genius
"Agree. I give him four months."
Pure Genius
"Please. More like four weeks. And I hope he gets that,"
Pure Genius
"around here, the title chief of staff is just a suggestion."
Pure Genius
"Stop staring at the poor guy. Just leave him alone."
Pure Genius
"What's in the box?"
Pure Genius
"Office supplies."
Pure Genius
"How close are we on the retinal implant?"
Pure Genius
"Uh, it's still pretty hypothetical,"
Pure Genius
"- but I think it's gonna work. - Okay."
Pure Genius
"It's a miracle."
Pure Genius
"He hasn't felt any pain all day."
Pure Genius
"Thank you."
Pure Genius
"Thank you so much. It's just..."
Pure Genius
"It's like you've given him his life back."
Pure Genius
"That is such great news."
Pure Genius
"Even Bashir is impressed. Right, honey?"
Pure Genius
"BROCKETT: We did want to talk to you about one more thing."
Pure Genius
"We think it might be possible to develop a technology"
Pure Genius
"to activate your optic nerve digitally."
Pure Genius
"MRS. MASOOD: Are you...? You're saying"
Pure Genius
"he might be able to see again?"
Pure Genius
"Not with his eyes. He'd wear goggles"
Pure Genius
"equipped with cameras that would"
Pure Genius
"process images digitally, but..."
Pure Genius
"yes, he would see."
Pure Genius
"Oh, my God."
Pure Genius
"I-I want to manage your expectations."
Pure Genius
"It's just that... This is amazing."
Pure Genius
"No, thank you."
Pure Genius
"I appreciate what you're trying to do, but..."
Pure Genius
"I've had 12 surgeries over the last five years."
Pure Genius
"I've spent a lot of time in hospitals."
Pure Genius
"I'm done being a guinea pig."
Pure Genius
"Maybe we just... need a little bit of time"
Pure Genius
"to let this sink in."
Pure Genius
"What have we found on Mrs. Gardner's case?"
Pure Genius
"Unfortunately, there's very little we can do."
Pure Genius
"her body can handle?"
Pure Genius
"The only way for chemo to be possible"
Pure Genius
"is if we could reduce the amount of tumor cells through surgery."
Pure Genius
"Okay. Surgery."
Pure Genius
"W, what have you got?"
Pure Genius
"James, I've looked at every possible way of doing this."
Pure Genius
"Surgery just isn't viable."
Pure Genius
"- Why? - She has tumors"
Pure Genius
"in four locations. We'd have to coordinate"
Pure Genius
"Her body simply couldn't sustain the assault"
Pure Genius
"for the roughly 18 to 20 hours"
Pure Genius
"that we would take to complete this operation."
Pure Genius
"So that's it? We just give up?"
Pure Genius
"I want pitches on saving Mrs. Gardner's life."
Pure Genius
"I didn't spend a billion dollars to have people tell me no."
Pure Genius
"We need to do better."
Pure Genius
"(sputters)"
Pure Genius
"Just know that we are developing a treatment."
Pure Genius
"that will help you."
Pure Genius
"There's nothing that can save me."
Pure Genius
"You haven't been here."
