Unconscious male. No wallet. No ID.
Stab wound to the left upper left chest,
fifth intercostal space.
Find a chest cracker, please!
Hello, whoever you are.
I'm not sure if you can hear me, but I'm Dr. Shadid.
You're in the operating room, at Sacred Heart,
and we're going to take good care of you.
His heart rate is falling.
40. 20. He's asystolic.
Give him an amp of epi. Starting compressions.
Come on.
Come on!
Still no pulse.
Get me the open thoracotomy kit.
Rib spreader, please.
Pardon my cold hands.
Come on now.
What's your problem?
I've got a pulse.
Penetrating wound, left ventricle. Staple gun.
You know, I've been doing this a few years now, Dr. Shadid.
Don't think I've ever seen anyone actually do that before.
Hold someone's heart in their hands.
What's that feel like?
It's actually rather humbling.
Dr. Shadid? Samir Shadid?
Yes?
Oh, my... Special Agent
Campbell with the FBI, sir.
And you're not special?
Dr. Shadid, you're under arrest.
You're being charged with violation
of 18 U.S.C., Sections 1341 and 1349.
Seriously? Sir, please face the wall
and put your hands behind your back. Okay, wait a minute.
There-there must be some kind of mistake. Sir,
again, face the wall. Don't make me use force.
Can't... Hands behind your back, please.
All right.
Don't you dare.
Don't I dare, what?
Go to work.
I need you to get this baby out of me.
It was due yesterday,
and yesterday is now today.
I've-I've fulfilled my share of the bargain.
It is now on you.
Okay. What would you like me to do?
I don't know.
Oh, my back hurts. Oh, my front hurts.
Oh, my insides hurt. Oh, God.
My outsides hurt.
And a very good morning to you.
You do remember that the doctor said yesterday
that it was gonna be another two weeks?
She doesn't what she's talking about.
She's the one that originally said "yesterday."
What are you doing?
You're not actually making a call.
I have a text, a new client...
A potential new client.
We are talking.
I'm sorry.
I got a text.
We are talking. What were you saying?
I was saying I don't think I can go another day,
and you went and looked at your text. Izzy.
I'm so sorry, but I am here,
and we are in this together,
but you can't expect the world to stop
just because you're pregnant.
Well, I expect your world to stop.
God knows mine has.
Okay.
Oh, my God. Now you're e-mailing.
I'm trying to answer the question that you just asked.
"How to induce labor."
Yeah. Number one, light exercise.
It suggests that we might try having sex.
Are you serious?
Yeah. So...
Well, spicy food.
Spicy food? Really?
I like spicy food.
Okay. Now we just have to find an Indian restaurant
that's open at 7:22 in the morning,
that delivers.
Delivers?
Izzy, I have to go to work,
but I promise I will run back here the second that you call.
Just stay and eat with me.
Nice of you to make an appearance.
I'm pregnant. Show some compassion.
Oh, please, you're barely showing.
Hmm.
Why do you smell like vindaloo at 9:00 a.m.?
Why are you escorting me from the elevator?
Well, a potential client just reached out,
a Dr. Samir Shadid.
He's a cardiac surgeon at Sacred Heart.
He's gotten caught up in the college admissions scandal
everyone's talking about.
Apparently, the U.S. Attorney here in Manhattan
wants in on the action.
In the last 24 hours,
she arrested over 50 potential suspects.
So where does Dr. Shadid's kid go to college?
He doesn't. In fact, there is no kid.
They're saying Dr. Shadid cheated his way into college.
He went to Hudson University,
class of 2009.
2009? That's over a decade ago.
Is he out on bail? Yeah, but the hospital
suspended him until the case is resolved.
But that not withstanding, if he's acquitted,
they've already announced
that they will take him back with open arms.
Hmm. That's damned understanding of them.
By all accounts,
he's well-liked and well-respected
by his colleagues and adored by his patients.
He had just saved a man's life when FBI agents grabbed him.
So who referred this guy to TAC?
No one. Uh, you are going to love this.
He was a juror on one of our cases last year.
A former juror.
I don't think we've ever had one of those.
Did he give us a good review on Yelp?
Dr. Shadid, the A.U.S.A. is alleging
that you and your father conspired with a middleman.
A middleman who then bribed an admissions officer
at Hudson University to get you into college.
Look, I never conspired with anyone to do anything.
The first I heard about a bribe was early this morning
when I was arrested.
Well, they must have some proof.
You've been indicted by a federal grand jury.
Okay, well, in retrospect,
I suppose it's possible my father paid someone off.
Suppose?
He talked about me going to Hudson
as long as I can remember.
He went to a-a state school.
Always felt he had missed something, I think.Uh-huh.
Who's representing your father?
I'd like to coordinate our efforts.
My father passed away five years ago.
Oh. Sorry to hear that.
Well, unfortunately, without your father,
we'll need someone else to corroborate your innocence.
How about your mother?
My mother will do anything she can to help.
She was the one who put up my bail.
But I'm here to tell you,
the first she heard about any of this
is when I was arrested this morning.
She was just as surprised as I was.
Look, I'm not a lawyer,
but if this happened,
it happened a long time ago.
Isn't there a-a statute of limitations or something?
Well, I spoke
with the prosecutor.
She's arguing that the statute of limitations has been extended
because this is a continuing crime.
See, your medical practice is a result of your medical degree,
which is a result of your college education,
which you obtained illegally.
Is that normal?
Well, it's a new one on me,
but then this whole case is a new one on me.
Court will hear United States v. Dr. Samir Shadid.
If Mr. Shadid and his counsel
will please step forward.
Your Honor,
we submit that this prosecution
is a travesty of justice.
Dr. Shadid is an esteemed surgeon
with a spotless record.
He was arrested as he was leaving the operating room,
having just performed a life-saving procedure.
In addition, this so-called fraud
is alleged to have happened ten years ago.
Ten years ago.
And we haven't seen a scintilla of evidence
that connects my client to any of it.
What are you asking me to do, Mr. Colón?
Well, Your Honor, there is only one fair and just thing to do.
Let my client get back to his patients.
Dismiss the charges for lack of evidence.
Mm-hmm.
And what do you have to support the charges, Ms. Lambert?
We have grand jury testimony from a number of people,
including an eyewitness
