Good Sam

Previously, on "Good Sam"...

You were shot six months ago.

You have to be proctored.

I'll supervise him.

I spoke with the board.

They're not just gonna hand you the reins

at the end of this. They're gonna choose between us.

Chairman of the Board Byron Kingsley.

Thank you again for considering me for the position.

You seem to have a...

personal relationship with Sam Griffith. I do.

I don't like her pulling you into her family power struggle.

You always made me laugh so much.

I still could.

You had to call Rhonda?

She is the chief of plastics.

He resents my seniority. Always has.

You let Lakeshore lose an eight-figure donation?

And pinned it on me.

I did tell you that the lesson was gonna hurt.

Tell me how to hit him.

My help comes with a price.

Why would my dad keep

a bovine heart specimen?

No idea. His stuff was moved down here when you took over.

All his files and furniture.

Whatever that is.Oh.

Amphibian hearts only have three chambers.

They diffuse oxygen through their skin...

We're not here for frog talk.

Can you help me move this, please?

Yeah.

Rhonda, what exactly are we looking for?

Donor records. Hmm?

You want the chief position?

Revenge for your father costing you that ten million?

Here's what you do.

You win over his biggest donor.

You find the head of the snake.

You woo 'em to your side,

I guarantee you, the rest will follow.

So, what, I'm supposed to cold-call these people

and ask them for financial support?

Mm, it's not quite that easy.

You got to find them first.

Sure, Waxman had his name on the wall, but he was the exception.

Your father had more anonymous donors

than any other department.

So?

: So?

Donors like attention.

That's why we name all these walls and wings after them.

That much anonymous money coming Griff's way

tells me something's up.

"Something's up"?

That's your theory?

Call it more of a hunch.

So she actually said

"head of the snake"?

: She's not subtle.

You find anything down there?

Just my dad's address book.

If I were to give you a name,

could you tell me if it links to a hospital donation?

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry. I'm...

Just forget I asked. Sam,

I can track a donor for you.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Okay.

So, in 2009,

anonymous donations to my department...

...shot through the roof.

That same year,

my dad supervised a clinical trial

for Fletcher Pharmaceuticals. Now,

And she's in my dad's address book and...

all over his calendar.

And look at this.

She's worth billions.

Here, let me see?

I will see what I can find.

Thank you.

This is a nice pen.

Hmm.

Med school graduation gift.

"CT." I am...

going to assume that's "cardiothoracic"?

Caleb Tucker, actually.

You know we used to date?

I do now.

Oh, mm-hmm.

Med school, huh?

It's where we met.

And you dated the whole time?

No, we were...

on and off for a couple years.

Y-Years?

Re... Okay.

It's not...

Hmm.

What are you doing?

I just don't want to be holding

another man's pen in your bed.

Oh. Hmm?

But whatever will I write with?

If you want a pen...

I got one for you.

Oh, really? Yes, yes.

It is time to take some notes.

Viv. Vivian. Viv!

Why aren't you answering my calls?

Because I don't want to talk to you.

My badge won't open the parking garage.

It's kind of... Oh, my God, talk to security.

A call from you would be so much more meaningful.

I don't help people who hurt my daughter.

That was not my intention.

This is her reputation, Griff.

Everyone knows about that donation she lost.

What they don't know is you tricked her into losing it.

I didn't start this war.

Well, you need to finish it.

And until you succeed, my door is closed.

How'd you get down here so fast? I just got the page.

Donna gives us a heads-up.

That's why we bring her donuts every week.

And yet, Joey still gets here first.

Adriana Simpson, 30 years old,

single vehicle crash.

Chest wall injury with metal impalement

and left arm traumatic amputation.

Ten of morphine given en route.

What, did he ride in the ambulance with them?

Lift!

Let's start the primary survey.

Where? Where?

The arm is still at the crash site.

They're trying to get it out of the wreckage.

Breathing sounds compromised.

Adriana, I'm Dr. Griffith.

And I need to listen to your lungs, okay?

They're not looking hard enough!

It's all right, we're gonna find your arm, okay?

No, no, not my arm!

Where's Beth?! Beth?

She's my best friend! She was with me!

: Help me, I can't breathe!

We have crepitus over the chest wall. Need to decompress the chest.

It's lateral to the major vessels.

And about the right size

for a 32 French cath.Uh-huh.

Let's do it.

Everybody, on three.

One, two...

three!

There we go.

Ultrasound looks good.

Fast is negative.

Central line is in.

Let's pack her up and get her to imaging.

And somebody please find out what happened to her friend.

Using the impalement site for

the chest tube, it was nice.

Hmm.

Look, Sam...

it gives me no pleasure to see your reputation

take a hit, especially

after I've invested so much time building it up.

Are you

seriously trying to take credit for my reputation

that you are actively working to sabotage?

Mm, your ego belongs

in the Smithsonian under glass.

Okay, well...

instead of continuing to fight this war,

what do you say to ending it?

And how would we do that?

With a succession plan.

After my proctorship is over,

I'll take back my job back,

and I will teach you

everything I know. The ins and outs

of donors, politics, money...

All the things that you have no experience with.

Then when you take the reins in...

ten, 12 years,

you'll be ready.

What do you think?

Why would I agree to that when I plan

on winning the board's vote in three months?

Given the eight-figure donation

you just lost the hospital, I think your confidence

is... somewhat erroneous.

Unless you know something

I don't know.

I know...

everything you know.

What are you doing with my address book?
