Watson

This is one of the worst fractures I've ever seen.

-This patient should be in surgery. Exactly.

She's got a type III supracondylar fracture

-of the humerus. -And she's a child.

You can't operate on a minor without parental consent.

Every minute we delay, we're risking compartment syndrome,

-permanent nerve damage, even... -If you take this kid to the OR,

Dr. Morstan, we might as well write the settlement check now.

Okay, so where are the parents?

Maine.

She says they're in Maine.

A kid from Maine is in Pittsburgh without any parents?

What is going on?

Guys, what am I missing here?

The patient says she's not a minor.

She says she's 30.

It doesn't matter what she says.

We all have eyes.

Maybe you should hear this from her.

Just, you know, brace yourself.

It might get spicy.

Who the (bleep) are you?

It's a good question, really.

Why do I even want to be back at the clinic?

I've got talents. I've got skills.

I could take them anywhere.

Well, today is your first day back.

Why did you fight so hard for this job?

I mean, they see the best patients.

They, uh...

They do the best work.

I would work there if I was a-a doctor,

not a consultant.

Okay, thank you, Glen.

But I would like to hear from Ingrid.

Glen-One-N is right.

Kind of.

-There isn't a better fellowship in the country. -Let me call you back.

I mean,

the work they do at the Holmes Clinic,

the work we do,

it's right at the edge of what people know.

It's at the edge of...

everything.

Welcome to group, Mr. Wythe.

We start on time.

Sorry. Had a call.

Sorry.

Hey, everyone.

I'm Beck Wythe.

Like "lithe" with a "W."

Please go on.

I'm interested.

You said Glen was kind of right.

What is he missing?

I don't know.

It's my place?

Hate how that sounds.

But it is.

It's my place.

Five sociopaths walk into a room.

They all sit in a circle and share their feelings.

Is that the setup to a joke?

You ditched the cane. Nice.

It's the setup to a horror movie.

You don't gather cluster "B" deviants in a cluster.

That's how they hatch plans.

We all agreed to this.

We have to make it work with Ingrid.

I know. It's just...

this whole therapy thing,

it's not helping me feel better.

They say it takes time.

Good morning, everyone.

Therapy. They say it takes time.

Usually the people around you notice a difference

before you do.

Uh, what are you guys talking about?

You.

We're talking about you.

But you probably knew that already.

Appreciate the honesty.

Honesty leads to cake.

Burnt almond torte.

Prantl's.

Best cake I ever had.

Oh, you remembered.

I remember everything.

Mm.

Like, for example,

we never had pea plants before.

Watson inoculated the roots

with rhizobia bacteria.

He's trying to create a self-fertilizing ecosystem.

If he's successful, basic...

He'd disrupt the fertilizer companies

right out of the market.

Cool.

Where is Watson anyway?

Sorry to disturb, guv.

The fellows,

all four of the fellows,

were wondering if you were gonna join them

for today's remote consults.

Sorry, I, uh...

got in early today.

It's early now, Dr. Watson.

Yeah, no, I mean, like, really early.

All right, Laila, wondering where I've been this morning.

Mary.

"The Pittsburgh mystery."

What is that, guv?

Uh...

that's nothing, that's...

nothing. Not sure what I was doing there.

-Hmm. Morning, Ingrid.

Welcome back.

-It's nice to be here... -I have to get to the ER.

Someone run the remote without me.

I'll review the notes.

Someone? Who?

Uh...

let's go with...

Adam.

-(Sasha sighs) -Your faith means the world to me.

Sincerely.

Okay. Remote consult.

Let's get it.

The patient's of indeterminate age.

She got T-boned in her Mustang.

"Indeterminate age"?

Can't she just tell you how old she is?

Well, the patient says she's 30.

There's some...

question if that's accurate.

-What about I.D.? -Mm.

The EMTs put her in the ambulance

before she could grab it.

We're trying to figure out which impound lot

the car got towed to.

I need to operate on her.

But I need to know how old she is first.

Wait, I don't understand. Like, even if you're off,

say, what, a couple years,

what's the issue?

Hmm.

I get that a lot.

I'm Dr. John Watson.

-Your name's...? -Max.

I go by Max. And, yes,

before you ask, I am 30.

I'm really 30.

Well, you must have a hard time

getting people to believe that, Max.

I thought you said this guy was a genius.

Of course I have a hard time.

Look at me.

If you're just gonna let me suffer,

I'll take my business down the street.

No, no, that's okay. Um...

I have an idea.

Can you open up your mouth as wide as you can for me?

I want to believe you, Max. I-I really do, but...

let me just have a quick peek.

Okay?

Just quick.

Look at that.

Coffee stains.

Moderate attrition on the surfaces.

Her teeth.

I should've thought of that.

Well, I can't lie, Max.

You look like a ten-year-old.

But inside your mouth,

I see fully erupted third molars.

Your teeth have been here for decades.

I'll get her prepped for surgery.

I believe you, Max.

You are 30.

No (bleep) (bleep).

I'm not trying to be a Karen,

but how soon can you get me out of here?

Well, it's a serious orthopedic procedure.

Dr. Morstan-- she's one of the best surgeons in the country.

But given your condition,

it's hard to predict the recovery time.

Max, if you don't mind me asking,

when did you first realize

that your body wasn't aging typically?

I do mind you asking.

I have a broken arm.

I'm not trying to do therapy here.

No, neither am I.

I have seen most of what the world has to offer,

but I've never met someone like you.

I'd like to help.

Help how?

Are you gonna put me in a machine

that changes me into a normal adult?

I wish I could.
