What's Respiratrex?
Surgical anesthetic. Why?
Dr. Turk did not seem happy
when Dr. Harper prescribed it for surgery,
like she thought it was a bad idea.
Well, pharmaceutical companies in the '90s would
often sell experimental drugs to hospitals that seemed
promising at the time, but turned out to have
negative side effects on people with pre-existing conditions.
Well, if Respiratrex was one of those,
why would Dr. Harper insist on using it?
Because Cedarhurst was one of the five hospitals
incentivized to use it during the final trials.
So they're putting profits before patients?
Well, OK, if Respiratrex was dangerous,
they didn't know that then.
What are her odds?
50/50, at this point.
I'd be a lot more confident if Dr. Harper had prescribed
a more proven anesthetic, like Soprofon or Restanol

Damn right, he does.

prescribing Restanol instead of Respiratrex,
despite my explicit instructions.
It was me. I did it.
Why am I not surprised?
Dr. Harper, sir, it may not be public information,
but there has been studies that say Respiratrex has
had terrible side effects on patients
with preexisting conditions.
I'm aware of the studies.
But this drug is about to be FDA approved,
or else the board wouldn't have authorize it's use.
Furthermore, Kimberly Cole doesn't
have a pre-existing condition.

of Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy.

I've hurt a lot of people during the course
of my career, especially her.
And that has haunted me for most of my life.
I'm not a great believer in karma,
but I suppose this cancer's the universe's way of...
balancing out everything by giving me the ending
that I deserve.
Or maybe the universe is giving you a chance
to undo all the bad you've done in the past

A second dose could kill her.
Duchenne's is rare in girls.
If she had it, we would know by now.

Multiple biopsy results with elevated dystrophia,

So what are you going to do, Doctor?

Give her 10ccs of Restanol.

Hey, Nostradamus, nice catch.

Starting tomorrow, Dr. Harper suspends the use
of Respiratrex and convinces the hospital's board
to break its contract with the manufacturer.
Once word gets out, other hospitals follow suit
and the FDA discontinues the drug, permanently.
Thank you for having my back in there.
Thank you for having mine.
Even when I thought I didn't want it.

So, uh, about Eli?
Ever since this custody battle started,
I've been preparing for the worst--
life without my son.
It wasn't until today seeing my father all alone
that I finally understood how sad and lonely that could be.
He may not have been the best father
or even a good one, for that matter,
but he doesn't deserve to go out
feeling like he's got no one.
Then you'll talk to him?
Get him to seek treatment, like, today?
Already reserved his spot with oncology.
They're just waiting on me to drag
his stubborn ass down there.

You know, for a guy who just saved hundreds of lives
over the next few years,
you don't seem very happy about it.
Today was a lot.
Yeah.
What these doctors and nurses have to deal with
on a daily basis,
the constant life and death stakes,
those folks are heroes.
That's true.
But arguably, so are you.
Think about all the lives that you've changed already.
I guess.
There's still one life I'm worried about.
Ben.
Ever since I remembered why I left,
I can't help but wonder, what if?
What if the moment of truth comes and I fail?
What if all of this was for nothing and I let you down?
[soft dramatic music]
OK.
First of all, I can save myself.
So let's just put that on the table right now, OK?
But secondly, if that time comes,
if I am in a life and death situation,
I know I'm not going to be alone.
I'll have you, Ben.
Just like you were there for all of those people today.
You gave an estranged father and his daughter
hope that they could be a family again.
You gave a young woman a second chance
at a lifetime of possibilities.
♪
You gave a man peace
to know that the love of his life
didn't die for nothing.
And that is why no matter what the future holds,
I'm not afraid.

Neither should you be.

Finally, someone listens to me.
Captain Augustine, I was really hoping to meet you
under better circumstances.
And yet, here we are.
I want you to understand that I am only here
because Magic asked me to honor your request.
[laughs]
There is an incredible myopia that
has descended over all of you.
But you, most of all.
Do you really think I wanted Ben
to come to me instead of you?
Do you think I was thrilled that he walked into my life
and dropped a world of problems in my lap?
Because I actually have a life.
Or I had one before he showed up and told me a story
that made me drop everything.
So I am sorry.
I'm sorry that I'm not particularly sympathetic
to your ignorance, but in this case,
I can promise you, ignorance is bliss.
[tense music]
♪
What were you working on?
OK, why did Ben leap?
Why am I in danger?
If you weren't going to say anything,
why did you want this conversation?
Because I need you to tell Ben to stop talking...
to you.
You need to go in that imaging chamber,
and you need to tell him that from now on,
anything he remembers, he must keep to himself.
You want us to stop helping him?
No, I want you to stop doubting him.
You say you trust him.
Well, there is a very good reason he didn't
tell you anything, Addison.
Because the problem with information
is that the only place we can really keep it secret
is in our mind.
Because once you say it out loud to someone else
in a world with a Quantum Accelerator,
everyone knows,
including the people who sent Richard Martínez.
You want to help Ben, you will tell him
to trust no one.
Even you.
