When Molly went to remind her colleague about an upcoming surgery, she found him incredibly intoxicated. Unsure of what to do, she called her boss, Dr. Gibson, to help her out. They brought Dr. Five to the lounge and sat him down to talk. But the man denied having even one drink. He was three years sober, after all. However, Dr. Five’s test showed traces of alcohol in his blood. Feeling angry and betrayed by his friend, Gibson sent Dr. Five home. And he was considering firing him.

01:00I'm Dr. David Gibson. I'm the head of internal medicine. Your treatment will now be under my direct supervision.
01:11Dr. Fyfe, can I have a word with you, please?
01:13What are you doing, man? You're at work!
01:25I have no idea what she's talking about.
01:28Yeah, you can fool her, but not me.
01:31And you stink! You reek like a distillery!
01:34I haven't had a drop, I swear!
01:36Oh, shit!
01:39David.
01:42Look, Shirley, I keep my promises, all right? We have friends. Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
01:47Okay. It's okay. It's okay.
01:52But I'm pushing the surgery till tomorrow.
01:55What?
01:55I want you to go home. Go home. Home!
02:00I want you to go home.
02:04Go home.
02:08Okay, come on now. Fall out already.
02:33Stupid thing. Did you just take my money and that's it?
02:40Where's my coffee? Come on!
02:41Uh, Dr. Fyfe, you didn't push the button.
02:46Who is there?
02:48What did you say?
02:50Hurry up.
02:51You told me to hurry up.
02:52And what if you were on the surgery table and I was stitching you up?
02:56Hmm? Would you tell me to hurry up too then?
02:59Come on, why don't you say something? Anyone?
03:01Dr. Fyfe, Dr. Fyfe, where you are?
03:04Everyone is looking for you in the residence room. Let me help you.
03:07Expecting me? There's no one expecting me. Who's expecting me? I'm not expecting anyone.
03:10There's no need to go anywhere.
03:11Yeah, I'll explain everything on the way.
03:13I said there's no need to go anywhere.
03:16All right, I got rounds.
03:18You know, patients, things to do, places to be, you know.
03:21The fight!
03:23Fight. My office. Now.
03:24My coffee. I don't, my coffee, eh.
03:26What the hell was that all about, man?
03:44I was just standing in the line, okay, until that snotty little brat started.
03:50Ah, hurry up, blah, blah, blah.
03:51Rob, I told you to go home.
03:53And what do you do? You step on the gas. What's going on?
03:57Here.
03:58You see this?
04:00It says here, I have been sober for three years.
04:04Three years!
04:05I hadn't had a drop.
04:15Put that candy away.
04:17Blow this.
04:18Put the candy away.
04:19All right.
04:19Blow it.
04:20I blow.
04:23Give me that.
04:26One point two.
04:32One point two.
04:33What?
04:34One point two. Look.
04:40Rob.
04:42Man, I thought you'd never lie to me again.
04:45Dave, I don't understand what this is about, you know.
04:50I didn't drink.
04:58I didn't...
04:59Enough!
05:00Enough.
05:00I believed you.
05:01I believed you when you said you quit.
05:03And I believed you this morning when you said you weren't drinking on the job.
05:06But I'm not going to believe you anymore.
05:10That's it.
05:18Go home.
05:19You're suspended.
05:20Go.
05:21What?
05:22Go home.
05:22You're suspended.
05:23What?
05:24And stay off the hospital grounds until further notice.
05:26You can't do this to me.
05:27Get out of here.
05:28Look, you can't do this.
05:29Get out of here.
05:30Man.
05:31And take a cab.
05:34Go.
05:35Go home.
05:35Go home.
05:36Thanks for trying to help.
06:01You said it happened again.
06:03Yeah.
06:03Yeah, unfortunately, three years ago, three years ago, he started drinking heavily, really
06:11heavily, and everything, everything fell apart.
06:16Everything.
06:16He crashed.
06:17He crashed.
06:18His friends, they all turned their backs on him.
06:22His wife left him, and he almost left his job.
06:30I tried.
06:31I mean, I tried to get him out of that hole.
06:33I tried to pull him out.
06:35But you can't help a guy who doesn't want to help himself.
06:39It's impossible.
06:40I think he was sincere.
06:50You've got to stop looking for the best in everybody.
06:52Look, he's got more than one per meal in his blood.
06:57But Dr. Five was always in his fit with his patient.
07:01And with numbers like that, he couldn't work at all, like, even half a day.
07:07Molly, Molly, Molly, I'm going to have to explain it to you a different way.
07:12Come on, let's go.
07:12Let's go.
07:13Let's get out of here.
07:17Come on in.
07:19Let me show you something.
07:23What?
07:26Of course.
07:27Apple juice.
07:35This is strange.
07:37Really strange.
07:38Yeah.
07:39Yeah, it's really weird to break into someone else's office.
07:42Molly, stop talking and look for any bottles with any kind of alcohol in it.
07:46All right?
07:46Maybe he wasn't drinking at all.
07:56Quit making things harder than they are.
07:58Okay?
07:59We've got the criminal.
08:00All we need is the...
08:03weapon.
08:05Yeah, but in our case,
08:08the criminal and the victim are the same person,
08:10so you can't ignore it.
08:13Residence room.
08:14Let's go.
08:18Okay.
08:22Oh, Mr. Gibson.
08:27Dr. Wright?
08:29I'll see you in the residence room.
08:31I've been looking for you forever.
08:35Where's Dr. Five?
08:36I sent him home for health reasons.
08:42I heard about his condition.
08:43Actually, the whole hospital saw the ugly state he was in.
08:47If it wasn't for me,
08:49the whole town would know about this.
08:50Dr. Wright,
08:51I promise you,
08:53this will never happen again.
08:53Of course it's not going to happen again,
08:55because you're going to sit down
08:57and do the paperwork for his dismissal.
08:59You can't go by what people are saying.
09:05Dr. Five,
09:06he's top-notch.
09:07He's our best specialist.
09:09This is a
09:10misunderstanding
09:12or a miscommunication.
09:13That miscommunication
09:15almost ruined the reputation
09:17of the hospital.
09:19What would you choose?
09:21A doctor
09:21who makes mistakes
09:23or a patient
09:24who pays
09:24for the treatment.
09:26I'm going to select
09:27the answer to that.
09:29You understand?
09:31Yeah.
09:34Good.
09:35Goodbye.
09:47I haven't seen
09:48any sign of Dr. Five.
09:50I don't think
09:50we'll find anything about him.
09:52Well, we got to go see him.
09:53Well, we got to get
09:53to the bottom of this situation.
09:55Come on, let's go.
09:59Are you okay?
10:03Just a regular cough.
10:05Doesn't sound like
10:06a regular cough.
10:11Come on, it's nothing.
10:12See?
10:13It's just nothing.
10:14Come on, let's go see him.
10:15Come on.
10:15Dr. Gibbs.
10:26We shouldn't.
10:29I'm not sure
10:30we can do it.
10:31We shouldn't.
10:32We shouldn't.
10:33We shouldn't.
10:34No, I got to get
10:35to the bottom of this.
10:36If he's up to his old tricks again,
10:37then he's sick.
10:38He needs my help.
10:39What's going on here?
10:44Get out of here!
10:47What's in the bag, man?
10:48That's none of your business.
10:50Get out of here.
10:51It is my business.
10:52Because I'm the guy
10:53who's got to clean up
10:54your mess again,
10:55as always.
10:56What's in the bag?
10:56Let me see.
10:57Come on, the bag is mine.
10:58Stop it!
10:59Show me what's in the damn bag!
11:01Stop it!
11:01Show me what's...
11:02Stop it!
11:03This is my bag!
11:07Soda pop?
11:10Yes.
11:11Soda pop.
11:13What do you think it was?
11:20Get out of you,
11:21both of you.
11:22I told you.
11:23Get out.
11:29Yes, David.
11:30Get out.
11:32Get out, please.
11:37Get out.
11:45I'm so sorry about what just happened.
11:47Molly, you're a nice girl and all,
11:48but I'd like you to leave, too.
11:57Talk to me, okay?
11:59Just one answer for me.
12:01Just one.
12:03Please.
12:07Go ahead, Molly.
12:10How long have you been eating
12:11so many sweets?
12:13What?
12:14Is that a crime now?
12:16It's a bad habit.
12:17Okay.
12:18No argument.
12:19But it's my only bad habit.
12:22You can't hold this against me.
12:23Can you?
12:24Can you hold it against me?
12:25No, but has it affected your health in some way?
12:30Molly, I appreciate this.
12:31I really do, but...
12:32I'm not a bad doctor myself.
12:42Yes, I've been having some bowel problems and headaches.
12:48Sometimes I have headaches, but I know it's due to my diet.
12:52Of course.
12:53I intend to start a new one.
12:55Starting a...
12:56Of course, of course, of course.
12:57I got it.
12:58I got it.
12:59Get your things together, Rob.
13:00We're going to the hospital.
13:01We're going to the hospital.
13:02Come on.
13:03Come on.
13:03Hospital?
13:04I'm not going to the hospital.
13:06First, you take me out of there.
13:08Now you want to drag me back in.
13:09I'm not going to the hospital.
13:10I don't want to go to the hospital.
13:11Rob, trust me, man.
13:12I'm your friend, and I know what's happening here.
13:16Come on.
13:16Let's go, buddy.
13:17Come on.
13:28I gave him a sedative and started cleansing IV, as you said.
13:33Great.
13:36He's got gut fermentation syndrome.
13:38You know, others call it auto-brewery syndrome.
13:41It's a really rare condition where the digestive system, it ferments ethanol, causing intoxication.
13:48So the increase in carbs accelerate the fermentation, turning it into ethanol in huge quantities.
13:56Exactly.
13:57So that's why he's always irritable, why he smells, why he can't remember anything.
14:04It's chronic.
14:05Yeah, right.
14:08Yeah.
14:11Thank you.
14:13Thanks a lot.
14:18Thank you.
14:20It's a pleasure for me to learn from you.
14:22What's this?
14:46Dr. Five's lab's results.
14:50He wasn't drinking.
14:52That's not what it seems.
14:53I don't care.
14:56He embarrassed my house.
14:57People don't come here because the reputation of the clinic, Dr. Wright.
15:02They come here because the reputation of the doctors.
15:05You, more than anyone else, should know that.
15:08It doesn't change anything.
15:09I'm still going to fire him.
15:12I'm still going to fire him.
15:15All right.
15:16All right.
15:18Listen.
15:18I didn't want to do this, but if you even think about firing Dr. Five, I'll make sure there's an article in every single news website.
15:29How do you think our people are going to feel when they find out you fired him for drinking on the job when he actually has a rare undiagnosed illness?
15:39And they'll tell the press all your dirty little secrets.
15:47All right.
15:48All right.
16:09If I dig deep enough, I'm sure I'll find many more little secrets of yours.
16:22You're going to regret this, Gibson.
16:24Yeah.
16:25I'd be glad to.
16:39Here comes Dr. Gibson.
16:47Hey.
16:48Hey.
16:49My friend.
16:50How are you doing?
16:51How are you feeling?
16:52I'm much better now, Dave.
16:54Thanks.
16:55Awesome.
16:57Well, I can't believe I've been living with this for so long.
17:01It's all thanks to you, David.
17:03No.
17:05Actually, it's not.
17:06It's all Molly.
17:07She's the only one that believed you.
17:10Seriously.
17:12I guess I'm not too good of a friend, huh?
17:15Pretty lousy.
17:17You're a good doctor, David.
17:18That's why I'm more grateful to you now.
17:21But yes, you're not much of a friend.
17:29Well, I have something important to say to you.
17:33Okay.
17:33I learned a lot.
17:39You know, thanks to you, thanks to the disease, I learned that life is short and should be treasured.
17:46Oh, my God.
17:47It sounds vulgar and trite.
17:49I know.
17:51Yeah, you're right.
17:52Actually, it does.
17:53I'm going to Africa.
17:54What?
17:57Africa.
17:59People need help there more than they do here.
18:03And, you know, I'm just a man, but I want to be useful to this world.
18:10You know, and Robert Mason 5 will do more there than Robert Mason 5 will do here.
18:16And there he goes, talking about himself in the third person again.
18:25Seriously.
18:27You're an awesome doctor.
18:31One of the best I've ever worked with.
18:34But you're an even better friend.
18:35Dude, I've got to admit, I'm going to miss you.
18:41But I'm really happy.
18:43Really happy that you've made this decision for yourself.
18:45But if you ever, ever fall off the radar, I'm telling you, I'm going to track you down.
18:50I'm going to find you, bro, man.
18:51I'm going to find you.
18:51Okay.
18:52Okay.
18:52Okay.
18:59David, you all right?
19:01David.
19:02Dr. Gibson.
19:03Hey.
19:03Are you okay?
19:09Dr. Gibson.
19:10Can you hear me?
19:11Can you hear me?
19:14I'm okay.
19:15I'm all right.
19:15It's just the nerves.
19:17It's just...
19:17Okay.
19:18I just need the rest.
19:19I just need the rest.
19:20Yeah, stay down.
19:21Stay down.
19:22Don't move.
19:23You just lost consciousness.
19:27Molly, go get him some water.
19:29I'll keep an eye on him.
19:30What are you looking at me for?
19:34I'm a doctor, remember?
19:36It's under control.
19:38Molly, go.
19:39Okay.
19:39Okay.
19:39Here.
19:57I take it she doesn't know anything.
20:01No.
20:02And when are you going to tell her?
20:07Don't you think your daughter deserves to know that your life could be cut short at any moment?
20:12No.
20:12No.
20:12No.
20:13No.
20:13No.
20:14No.
20:14No.
20:15No.
20:15No.
20:16No.
20:16No.
20:16No.
