3.  Thank you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
4.  All right, everybody,

5.  Be sure and get that drop
cloth up before you leave,
all right?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
6.  Man #2:
Yeah, I like the sound of that.
Man #3: Whoo!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
7.  Man #2:
I broke this down. I'm just
gonna leave it like that.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
8.  That's some nice work,
young blood.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
9.  Thank you, Mr. Lodel.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
10.  Yeah, your daddy
taught you right.
( laughs )Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
11.  You know, when all
the construction
starts coming back,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
12.  you got skills to make
something of yourself.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
13.  Thank you, sir.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
14.  Oh, it's fine.
I can wait till payday.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
15.  I'm sorry. All the others
have families to feed,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
16.  but you do good work.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
17.  I like what
you do, okay?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
18.  Okay.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
19.  You got a funny way
of telling me that.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
20.  Morning.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
21.  Didn't I tell you
I could pull some strings?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
22.  Yes, you did,
yes, you did, Charlie.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
23.  Thank you very much,
you're a good man.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
24.  Yeah.
But tell me why—Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
25.  Morning.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
26.  Why would a doctor want
to hire a carpenter?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
27.  'Cause it ain't nothing
but scud work anyway.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
28.  You ain't
gonna like it.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
29.  You say the pay was
$12 a week?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
30.  Yeah.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
31.  I'm liking it already.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
32.  All right then.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
33.  Dr. Blalock,
this is Vivien Thomas.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
34.  Vivien?
That's a girl's name.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
35.  Yes, my mother was so sure
she was having a girlCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
36.  that she picked the name
early and kept it.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
37.  You don't say.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
38.  I'm pleased
to meet you, sir.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
39.  Call me "Doctor," and, Frances,
you can tell this good doctorCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
40.  that his theories are
extremely interestingCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
41.  and I'll be
praying for him.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
42.  Yes, Doctor.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
43.  Though it's his patients
I should be praying for.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
44.  Keep up, son.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
45.  This is where
my work is done.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
46.  What is your work?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
47.  Medical research.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
48.  We push the limits
of surgery using stray dogsCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
49.  we get from
the local dogcatcher.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
50.  They're darling,
but don't get too attached.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
51.  They're a means
to a great end.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
52.  The dog pounds
get cleaned out
twice a day.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
53.  I need the lab
swept every morning.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
54.  Simple tasks, but they
proved beyond the abilities
of your predecessors.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
55.  Now do you think
you can handle it?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
56.  Honey, it's in the back seat.
All right, I'll check it.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
57.  So?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
58.  So what?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
59.  Don't "so what" me.
Did you get it?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
60.  You got it.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
61.  You must have got it.
Oh, Vivien, oh!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
62.  It's working
at a hospital, right?
Yeah yeah.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
63.  I'm so glad.
Everyone's gonna see
how smart you are now.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
64.  Oh, I don't know how smart
you have to be shovel up,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
65.  but the guy I'm working for,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
66.  he seemed kind of eccentric,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
67.  but he's a doctor, yeah.
That's right,
he is a doctor.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
68.  So you just keep
your eyes open.
Mm-hmm.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
69.  We can get
married now.
Yeah.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
70.  Do everything just
like we laid it out.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
71.  Doctor...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
72.  and Mrs. Thomas.
( laughing )Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
73.  Vivien.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
74.  Good morning, sir.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
75.  You said you
were a carpenter?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
76.  Yes.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
77.  Did you go
to high school?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
78.  Yes, I did.
Got my diploma.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
79.  Planning on going
to Tennessee State next yearCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
80.  to study medicine,
be a doctor.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
81.  Unusual ambition
for a carpenter.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
82.  Well, I always
wanted to be one
since I was a kid.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
83.  I almost saved up enough
money for college,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
84.  and then
slow down hit.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
85.  Those are Van Slyke-Neill
gas manometers over there.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
86.  So you can
handle a saw?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
87.  Yeah, since I was 12.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
88.  Do tell.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
89.  Well, for cutting
the lines my fatherCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
90.  would measure
on the lumber, sir.
Call me "Doctor."Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
91.  So your daddy's
a carpenter too.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
92.  What does he think
of your ambition?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
93.  Oh, he's always known
I had my mind set on it.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
94.  Those apparatus
on the workbench,
what are they called?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
95.  Van Slyke-Neill gas
manometers, sir— Doctor.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
96.  They are indeed.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
97.  Vanderbilt may be
a podunk institution,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
98.  but I'm gonna put it
on the medical map.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
99.  I'm working
on traumatic shock.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
100.  Damn thing kills thousands
of people every year,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
101.  and doctors don't know
what the hell to do about it.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
102.  Let me see those hands.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
103.  Pick that up.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
104.  Now the left hand.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
105.  Good.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
106.  Excuse me, Vivien.
Dr. Blalock wanted you
to have this.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
107.  Thank you.
Good night.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
108.  Good night.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
109.  You know what
my grandfather did?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
110.  I know it doesn't have
anything to do with me
going out on strike.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
111.  I said, "Do you know
what my grandfather did?"
Yes.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
112.  He picked cotton
in Mississippi.
You told me 100 times.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
113.  My grandfather was
a piece of property!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
114.  No better than that chair
or table over there.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
115.  His son became a free man
at the age of 15.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
116.  He raised me with hardly
an elementary-school education.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
117.  Now I see my son
graduate collegeCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
118.  and go on
to teach school.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
119.  So don't tell me things
don't get better over time.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
120.  Things don't
just get better.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
121.  People got to change things,
Pop, make them better.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
122.  And if I don't
do something now,
I'll be a dead manCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
123.  before I get paid
like white teachers do.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
124.  Vivien, you know
I'm right about this.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
125.  All right now, Harold,
just hold your head.
I got reading to do.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
126.  To anesthetize Brutus,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
127.  first we have
to calculate the weight.
He weighs 18.4 kilograms.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
128.  And it should takeCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
129.  552 milligramsCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
130.  of sodium barbital
to anesthetize him
for three hoursCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
131.  if the absorption rate
is uniform.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
132.  Dogs? What kind
of doctor is he?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
133.  Well, when you
practice on dogsCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
134.  and then you can
help heal people.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
135.  Gives me the willies.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
136.  It's not that bad.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
137.  I mean, you look inside,
you see all the colors,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
138.  all the pinks and blues,
the reds.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
139.  It's beautiful, Clara.
That's where life come from.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
140.  What's this?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
141.  Hey, come on.
Hey, open up.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
142.  Excuse me, sir.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
143.  What's going on here?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
144.  Oh, the bank
is closed.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
145.  Closed?
Yep.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
146.  ( knocks )
Man #2: Hey, open up!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
147.  Open up!
Open this door!
It's 10:00.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
148.  Think I see
somebody in there.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
149.  Let's go.
We'll come back later.
Stay.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
150.  Something's wrong.
It can't be closed.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
151.  Excuse me.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
152.  Excuse me, sir.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
153.  Hello. Hello.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
154.  Hello.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
155.  Get away from that window.
We closed.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
156.  But I have my money in there.
I need to get my money out.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
157.  I can't get your money
back for you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
158.  Why not?
Tell me why not.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
159.  Go on home, son,
the bank has failed.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
160.  Sir, that's all
my savings!
Vivien.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
161.  I had my money
for school in there.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
162.  No, Clara, they got
my money in there.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
163.  Sir, sir, that's
my money for college.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
164.  Your money's gone.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
165.  Gone? But what are
they talking about?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
166.  They talking about,
it's gone, Ma.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
167.  Well, we'll all—
we'll just have
to start over.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
168.  Can't fight it now.
It's done.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
169.  It just feels
so wrong.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
170.  It took me seven years
to save that money.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
171.  You're not the only one in here
who had money in that bank.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
172.  It's done.
It's over with!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
173.  Still got
each other, Viv.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
174.  Yeah, we got each other.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
175.  That's all
poor people ever have
is each other.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
176.  There's no cut down and cannula
in the femoral vein.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
177.  I showed you
how to do it.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
178.  I figured out a wayCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
179.  to give it barbital
intravenously.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
180.  Where you putting it?
In the forepaw.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
181.  The manometer?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
182.  It's all set up, Doctor.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
183.  Good.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
184.  You can begin
the incision.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
185.  I'm not ready for that.
If I say you're ready,
you're ready.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
186.  I'll mark out the lineCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
187.  and you cut along it.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
188.  Just like you did
for your old daddy.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
189.  Like this?
Just like that.
Keep your hand taut.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
190.  Why are we making
the incision here?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
191.  To gain access
to the pulmonary artery.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
192.  And how will
we find it, Vivien?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
193.  It's the artery
leading to the lungsCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
194.  from the right side
of the heart.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
195.  Not bad.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
196.  Now the rib spreader.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
197.  And why are we gonna damage
poor Brutus' greater vessels?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
198.  To induce traumatic shock
to study it.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
199.  Watch this manometer.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
200.  And imagine that Brutus
is a 16-year-old boyCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
201.  just fell out of a tree
saving his mom's cat.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
202.  He's broken four ribs.
He's concussed.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
203.  Dad's rushed him to ER,
but he's gone into shock.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
204.  His blood pressure's way down.
His vital signs almost
nonexistent.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
205.  Can we save him?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
206.  Not if I use present
methods of treatment.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
207.  See, conventional wisdom
says I should constrict
the vessels.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
208.  I beg to differ.
Let's break their rules.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
209.  Use my rules.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
210.  Body needs blood.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
211.  Let's give it some.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
212.  How's that gauge?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
213.  It's still falling.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
214.  Maybe the experts are right.
Maybe I'm wrong.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
215.  Maybe I'll kill
this boy and break
his mother's heart.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
216.  Hmm.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
217.  That's life
coming back.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
218.  How's that
make you feel?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
219.  Good.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
220.  Very good, Doctor.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
221.  Let's look at the record
of our work.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
222.  Where's the smoked drums?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
223.  I'm sorry?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
224.  The smoked drums!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
225.  You didn't set
the smoked drums?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
226.  What is a smoked drum?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
227.  That's a smoked drum.
What the fuck is wrong
with you?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
228.  I record all the information
I need for my research
on a smoked drum.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
229.  I did not know that.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
230.  Is nobody listening to me?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
231.  God damn it!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
232.  I have to do
everything myself!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
233.  A whole days' work
goes down the toiletCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
234.  and I have to start
all over again.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
235.  Do you have sawdust
or just plain shit for brains?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
236.  And where the hell do
you think you're going—
Fine, get out of here.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
237.  Vivien!
( door closes )Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
238.  Vivien.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
239.  Oh, Jesus.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
240.  Hold on a minute,
will you?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
241.  I was not raised to take that
type of talk from anyone.
My apologies.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
242.  I'm sorry I lost my temper.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
243.  Normally it takes assistants
months to learnCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
244.  what you picked up
in a matter of days.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
245.  It won't happen again.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
246.  Please.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
247.  Ladies and gentlemen.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
248.  Fellas, take the music
down, will you?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
249.  Ladies and gentlemen,
thank you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
250.  I mentioned
to General Cunningham
the other dayCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
251.  how proud we were that Al
had chosen us overCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
252.  all the medical schools
in the country.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
253.  John, why don't you tell
everyone what you said?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
254.  Be glad to, Walter.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
255.  I just got back
from a month at the front.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
256.  There are thousands
of our boys in field hospitalsCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
257.  all over North Africa
and ItalyCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
258.  who owe their lives
to Dr. Blalock's workCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
259.  in the treatment of shock.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
260.  I want everyone here to know
how grateful we are to him,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
261.  and how proud
you all should be.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
262.  Hear hear!
Hear hear!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
263.  Dr. Blalock,
welcome welcome.
Thanks, General.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
264.  Thanks, General.
It's great to have you here, Al,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
265.  but truth be told
it's Mary we really want.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
266.  Our new chairman
of the Department
of Surgery,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
267.  my old and dear friend,
Dr. Alfred Blalock.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
268.  Thank you, Walter.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
269.  Mary and I welcome
you all to our home.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
270.  As do our dear children.
( guests laughing )Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
271.  ( whines )
Sadie get them to bed now.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
272.  Thank you, Johns Hopkins,
for my prodigal returnCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
273.  after 15 years
in the Tennessee backwoods—Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
274.  to find myself back here.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
275.  Dreams do come true.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
276.  You're the best surgeons
in the countryCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
277.  and I'm honored
to lead you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
278.  To use
a timely reference—Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
279.  "We'll storm the beaches
together shoulder to shoulder.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
280.  Lay siege to the mysteries
of medicine."Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
281.  We'll make the kind of progress
Hopkins used to be known for.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
282.  I know we will accomplish
great things together.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
283.  I'm looking for my next
watershed discovery.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
284.  Not to put too modest
a point on it.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
285.  It's not enough for us
to be great surgeons.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
286.  We need to be
outstanding researchers.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
287.  Any ideas?
Anything innovative?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
288.  What about
skin grafts?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
289.  Testing what skin groups
might take?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
290.  Isn't skin merely
packaging?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
291.  No, it keeps out
an infection.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
292.  Excuse me, Dr. Blalock,
may I suggest something?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
293.  Please do.
I'm very suggestible.
Tell us your name again.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
294.  I run the Harriett Lane
Clinic for Children.
Dr. Taussig.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
295.  Yes yes, of course.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
296.  Ah, Dr. Longmire,
Dr. Kelvin, Dr. Cooley.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
297.  I've read about
your research.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
298.  Congenitally
malformed hearts.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
299.  Oh boy, women
and their hearts.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
300.  Vivien, would you get
Dr. Taussig a drink?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
301.  What would you like?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
302.  Champagne
would be lovely.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
303.  Let's lubricate
the vein of inspiration.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
304.  Go on, Dr. Taussig,
tell us more.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
305.  Well, it's something
that up to now has beenCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
306.  written off
as untreatable.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
307.  But I don't believe
it has to be.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
308.  I'm speaking of
Tetralogy of Fallot.
Blue babies.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
309.  Yes, these children,
their hearts aren't failing.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
310.  They're suffocating,
due to a blockage in
the main artery to the lung.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
311.  Pulmonary stenosis.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
312.  The mortality rate
is 100%.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
313.  I've watched hundreds
of cyanotic children die.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
314.  I admitted a baby tonight
who will certainly dieCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
315.  simply because no one
has had the courageCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
316.  to attempt a surgical
solution to this.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
317.  Well, maybe
with good reason.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
318.  To put it mildly.
Helen, you can't
operate on the heart.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
319.  That's basic.
We don't have clinical
proof of that—Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
320.  That is my point exactly.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
321.  I think it's possible
for us to be able to—Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
322.  Come on, Denton,
you have to stop the heartCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
323.  to perform
a complicated correction
in less than three minutes,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
324.  and by that time they're dead.
These children are doomed.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
325.  There must be a way to get
more blood to the lungs.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
326.  I doubt we could repair
the defect in the heart walls—Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
327.  Without causing
ventricular fibrillation.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
328.  No, but maybe there's
a way to avoid interferingCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
329.  with the greater
circulation.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
330.  If we focus
on the pulmonary artery.
Mm-hmm.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
331.  Who on this
God's Earth are you?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
332.  I brought home some food
from the party.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
333.  I'm trying to get
her down, Viv. Hold on.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
334.  Okay, girl.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
335.  Now go to sleep, baby.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
336.  Go to sleep.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
337.  The girls are just
getting to bed?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
338.  Two-ton neighbor upstairs
nearly burst through the boards.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
339.  I'm gonna
have to fix that.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
340.  What, are you gonna
fix the fat man?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
341.  Get himself hollering
his head offCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
342.  when the girls is
trying to sleep?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
343.  Try a deviled egg.
They're real good.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
344.  Seen better
in Nashville.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
345.  I want
to go home, Viv.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
346.  Clara,
it's our first week.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
347.  Yeah, and you said if we
didn't like it, remember?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
348.  Yes.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
349.  Our family's
in Nashville.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
350.  We had a nice home
in a good neighborhood,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
351.  the schools were fine.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
352.  Not living
in this...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
353.  I don't know how we're gonna
make it on that paycheck
he's talking about,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
354.  and he got you serving
drinks at his party just
to make ends meet.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
355.  Viv, come on.
Try to understand when I started
at Vanderbilt I was a janitor.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
356.  I know.
And Dr. Blalock saw
what I could contribute,
and he gave me a chance.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
357.  And when they offered him
that big job in Detroit,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
358.  he didn't take it
because they didn't take me.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
359.  Now I'm a lab assistant
to a top surgeonCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
360.  at the number-one medical school
in the country.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
361.  And it's a good position.
And what about you
going to medical school?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
362.  You don't have
to remind me of that, Clara.
We have a family now.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
363.  ( sighs ) Sweetheart,
it's important work.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
364.  And it's a real opportunity
and I love what I'm doing.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
365.  So it doesn't really matter
how I feel then, does it?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
366.  Clara, you know
it matters.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
367.  See that man?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
368.  That's Johns Hopkins
himself.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
369.  Sir William Osler,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
370.  the father of modern
American medicine.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
371.  William Halstead,
invented the mastectomy.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
372.  Let me show you
some of the others.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
373.  Excuse me.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
374.  All workers punch in
at the rear entrance.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
375.  He's with me.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
376.  That don't make
any difference.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
377.  Do you know
who I am?
No sir.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
378.  I'm Dr. Blalock,
chief surgical professor.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
379.  Well, I'm sorry, Dr. Blalock,
but that's the rules.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
380.  I'll meet you
in the labs, Vivien.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
381.  Hey, you need
to punch in first.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
382.  Oh, thank you.
Thank you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
383.  I can see
we've arrived.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
384.  When was the last time
they used this place?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
385.  Have someone clean it up
before they put
the equipment in.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
386.  I'll meet you in an hour
at the Harriet Lane wards.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
387.  Let's see if there's anything
in this idea of Dr. Taussig's.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
388.  Excuse me.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
389.  Good morning.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
390.  Where do you think I could
find someone to help us
clean up the lab, Doctor?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
391.  Who do you think
you're talking to?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
392.  I'm not sure.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
393.  I'm Vivien Thomas.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
394.  I work for Dr. Blalock,
running his lab.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
395.  I'm Dr. Edgar V. Hecker.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
396.  Director of laboratories.
I'd like some coffee
and a doughnut.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
397.  Doctor, Doctor.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
398.  There must be a mix-up.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
399.  Listen you, I won't
stand for insolence.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
400.  We'll see about this.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
401.  You know, Doctor,
there aren't many—Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
402.  What? I'm sorry.
You'll have to speak up.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
403.  I can't hear too well
in this ear.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
404.  You're one of the few women
doctors I've seen here.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
405.  Oh, at least they let me
in through the front door.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
406.  Hmm.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
407.  This is where we keep
some of the older kids.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
408.  Doctor.
Hmm?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
409.  Why do they
squat like that?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
410.  A little boy told me that
it helps him breathe better.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
411.  It cuts off the blood
to the legs,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
412.  pushes it up
into the lungs.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
413.  They both look
very cyanotic.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
414.  Here he is now.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
415.  Dr. Blalock, welcome.
Helen. Sorry.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
416.  Here is the Saxon baby I was
telling you about last night.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
417.  Thank you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
418.  Mm-hmm.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
419.  She usually smiles
when someone does that.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
420.  Hello, Mrs. Saxon.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
421.  What is that thing?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
422.  It's an oximeter.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
423.  It reads how much oxygen
there is in the blood.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
424.  She looks cold in there,
but I can't hold her.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
425.  They say it isn't
good for her.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
426.  I'm not even supposed
to let her cry.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
427.  How do you keep
a baby from cryingCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
428.  especially if you
can't hold her?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
429.  You can see the change
in the shape of the size
of the vesselsCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
430.  as these hearts
grow larger.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
431.  I did necroscopies on some
of my patients' heartsCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
432.  in order to study
the malformations in detail.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
433.  It's amazing they could live
at all with hearts like these.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
434.  Mr. Gross at Harvard
said only God could correct
a narrowing indentationCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
435.  of the left side
of the aortic arch.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
436.  Perhaps that statement
says more about HarvardCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
437.  than it does
about God.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
438.  That baby back there...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
439.  how long?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
440.  Six months.
A year at the very most.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
441.  That's not right.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
442.  Are you going
to take this on, Doctor?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
443.  Helen, I want to seeCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
444.  all your diagnostic notes.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
445.  I'll get them
right away.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
446.  Thank you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
447.  Put away the books,
Vivien.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
448.  Let's not waste any more time
on theoretical crap.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
449.  Let's start
with experiments.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
450.  Four separate defects
of the heart working
in combination.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
451.  The pulmonary artery
is constricted...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
452.  in the main artery
before the divide,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
453.  diminishing blood supply
to both lungs.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
454.  And the hole in the septum
causes the used bloodCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
455.  to flow back into
the arterial system,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
456.  instead of flowing
through the lungs,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
457.  turning the babies blue.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
458.  A baby's heart's
delicate.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
459.  It's a goddamn minefield.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
460.  The first step is
to see if we can createCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
461.  the blue baby condition
in a dog,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
462.  and then come up
with a plan to solve it.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
463.  You're drinking
too much coffee.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
464.  Balzac drank 300 cups
of coffee in one day.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
465.  Of course, he died
of a perforated ulcer.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
466.  The odds are
against us reproducing this
in the laboratory.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
467.  Are you sure thisCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
468.  is the limb you want
to climb out on?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
469.  Back in '29
when I had TB...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
470.  the x-rays showed a bigCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
471.  gaping hole in my left lung.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
472.  I laid there
on the freezing porchCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
473.  in a sanatorium
in upstate New YorkCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
474.  with 18 blankets on me.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
475.  Nothing but my nose
exposed to the elements.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
476.  Hmm.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
477.  Death's a very humbling
thing to live withCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
478.  day in and day out.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
479.  I swore then...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
480.  if I got my life backCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
481.  I would do something
important with it.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
482.  I knowCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
483.  in every fiber
of my being,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
484.  that this is a limb
I want to climb out on.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
485.  It's gonna be hell trying
to work with a child's vesselsCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
486.  three or four
millimeters thick.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
487.  Like sewing over cooked
spaghetti noodles.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
488.  We'll need
the smallest sutures.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
489.  We'll need to make
our own tools.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
490.  We could be in
for trouble, Vivien.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
491.  Big trouble.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
492.  Woman over P.A.:
Dr. Blalock.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
493.  Dr. Alfred Blalock
to OR, please.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
494.  They're driving
me crazy.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
495.  This goddamn war.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
496.  We don't have
enough doctors.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
497.  My surgery cases
are through the roof.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
498.  If I'm not operating,
I'm teaching.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
499.  You're gonna have to do
most of this research.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
500.  What'll you need?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
501.  I need a bulldog clampCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
502.  small enough for the babyCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
503.  but strong enough
to stop the flow of blood.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
504.  What about
a breathing device?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
505.  I'd love a positive
pressure respirator,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
506.  but with this war
going on?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
507.  How in hell can
I do the experimentsCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
508.  if I can't even
get the equipment?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
509.  Dr. Alfred Blalock
to OR, please.
Oh shut up.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
510.  Well, you surely
pissed off Ed Hecker.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
511.  You mean I disturbed
his afternoon nap.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
512.  What is it with youCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
513.  and that boy
of yours— Thomas?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
514.  Why'd you bring
him up here?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
515.  We've been together
more than 12 years.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
516.  He's a really good...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
517.  worker.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
518.  How about
a little wager?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
519.  $50?
Whoa whoa whoa!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
520.  Give him
a break, Dick.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
521.  You're on.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
522.  There's a rumor going around
you're contemplating
heart surgery.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
523.  Well, that's an intriguing
rumor, don't you think?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
524.  Wouldn't it be
a feather in our cap if we
were the first ones to do it?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
525.  Oh, indeed it would.
But I hope you'll forgive
my skepticism.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
526.  There's no reason for us
to think it's possible.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
527.  And every indicator
says it can't be done.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
528.  Most of us agree, Al,
the risks are huge.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
529.  There isn't even any
incremental progress.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
530.  Where you see risks,
I see opportunity.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
531.  Hey, you gotta take care
of that sink up in 4B.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
532.  And I thought you
said you were gonna
fix these steps?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
533.  Yes, forgive me,
Mr. Green,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
534.  I've been very
busy at work.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
535.  But I will get to them.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
536.  The deal is $7 off
for odd jobs every month.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
537.  You gotta
pick up the pace.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
538.  ( sighs )
Man on radio:
With Allied forces fightingCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
539.  at Cassino, German
Field Marshal KesselringCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
540.  has earned a reputation...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
541.  Mmm!
This is good, sweetheart.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
542.  It's the same
as last night.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
543.  Just put it on
a different side
of the plate.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
544.  Sometimes it's better
the next day.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
545.  I hope so,
'cause guess what?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
546.  Tomorrow it's
hash a la king.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
547.  And hash a la queen
tonight.
Ohh.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
548.  I could get a job.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
549.  Who'll look
after the girls?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
550.  I know it's
not Nashville.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
551.  And I know...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
552.  I wouldn't be able to do
what I'm doing without you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
553.  My father took care of us.
I'll take care of you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
554.  And everything's
gonna be just fine.
We'll be just fine here.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
555.  You're right.
We'll be fine here.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
556.  We're gonna run out of dogs
at this rate, Vivien.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
557.  It's been three monthsCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
558.  and all I'm closer to
is retirement.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
559.  Things move slow
sometimes.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
560.  No matter what you want.
I'm getting close.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
561.  I've got
30% desaturation.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
562.  That dog was
faintly blue at best.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
563.  Till we get the dog in
the same state as the baby,
we can't move forward.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
564.  What is the problem?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
565.  Every time I constrict,
it kills the dogs.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
566.  I've tried nylon, ligature,
umbilical tape, ox fascia.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
567.  We need a new approach.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
568.  Okay, forget constriction.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
569.  Try a partial lobectomy.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
570.  Remove both lobes
of the right lung.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
571.  Do an arteries
to veins fistulaCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
572.  where the medial wall
of the aortaCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
573.  and the pulmonary
artery adhere.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
574.  I'll be in the OR.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
575.  That's a very good idea,
Doctor, thank you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
576.  Damn it!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
577.  You did the best
you could.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
578.  With the condition of his liver,
you never had a chance.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
579.  I, always have a chance.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
580.  Get me his autopsy.
Yes sir.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
581.  Shit!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
582.  Damn!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
583.  What's that?
Our new respirator.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
584.  I was rummaging around
the machine shop.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
585.  It's not pretty,
but it works.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
586.  Whoa!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
587.  It is pretty.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
588.  I knew I could
count on you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
589.  You're the only one
I can trust around here.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
590.  I suspect others relish
the thought of seeing me fail.
Oh.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
591.  Mary!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
592.  There's an ambulance
in the driveway.
Good evening.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
593.  General Cunningham
needed help carting
wounded GIs off the ship.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
594.  So I volunteered to be
a driver on the base.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
595.  Oh.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
596.  Wow, that's wonderful.
Not really.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
597.  I got a lot of time
on my hands.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
598.  She wouldn't go to bed?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
599.  Not until
you came home.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
600.  You know what
she said today?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
601.  She said she wanted to be
a patient when she grows up.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
602.  So she can get
to see her daddy.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
603.  Hmm.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
604.  I don't remember you
wearing a tool belt
at your coming-out party.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
605.  Guess it has been
a couple of weeksCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
606.  since I made it home
before 11:00.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
607.  No, it's 23 days.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
608.  Not as if I don't know the lot
of a doctor's wife, but...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
609.  I miss you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
610.  It's gonna change.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
611.  It's probably
gonna get worse.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
612.  Hey, Vivien.
Hey, Dr. Longmire.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
613.  Is Dr. Blalock in?
No, he's not.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
614.  I don't know
where he is.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
615.  You should
check his office.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
616.  That's an interesting
procedure.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
617.  Never seen a clamp
like that before.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
618.  It's for small
vascular work.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
619.  Where'd you get it?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
620.  I pieced it together
from some things lying around.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
621.  Ahh, now we're
getting somewhere.
Uh-huh.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
622.  You're not
even looking.
Hmm.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
623.  It's like when you come home
late at night, you know?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
624.  You know the feel
of the room in the dark.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
625.  That looks impossible.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
626.  Oh no no, if I can
do it, you can do it.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
627.  You see, uh...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
628.  this string here,
that's how you get
traction on the suture,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
629.  'cause you need
a lot of exposure
for the anastomosis.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
630.  Mm-hmm.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
631.  I'd like to work
with you some time.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
632.  Oh fine, Dr. Longmire,
that'd be fine.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
633.  My emergency rotation
starts in 10 minutes,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
634.  but I can come in
on Thursday.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
635.  That'd be fine.
You have a good day,
Doctor.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
636.  Harold?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
637.  What are you
doing here?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
638.  I was in
the neighborhood.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
639.  The Supreme Court—
you finally made it.
Mm-hmm.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
640.  A long time. You been
working on this case
for what, nine years?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
641.  No no, 12 years.
12 years?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
642.  Time.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
643.  So tell me, tell me,
what was it like?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
644.  Well, nine white guys
in big gowns walked in first.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
645.  Then the school board
lawyer.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
646.  Our lawyer
Thurgood Marshall,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
647.  he looked
kind of lonely in there.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
648.  And you know what them people
said in their brief?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
649.  Said since colored teachers
in Nashville live so cheaply,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
650.  they should pay us
a whole lot less
than white teachers.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
651.  But let me tell you—
Thurgood...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
652.  Thurgood said he'd be
goddamned if they could
get away with that.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
653.  So he gets up and says
to that white lawyer,
"You're full of it.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
654.  Have you ever read
the Constitution?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
655.  The damned 14th Amendment—Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
656.  the equal protection clauseCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
657.  says a government can't
discriminate based on race."Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
658.  Yes, Lord.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
659.  I mean,
he was good, Viv.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
660.  I think we got the Board
of Education on the run.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
661.  That's good news, Harold.
So when will they decide?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
662.  Could be months,
longer.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
663.  I don't know,
but I can wait,
after all these years.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
664.  All those calls I got
in the middle of the night—Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
665.  white folk telling me
they gonna kill meCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
666.  if I don't drop
this lawsuit.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
667.  No, you gotta show 'em you won't
take that kind of treatment.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
668.  Come here.
So listen to me
when I tell you,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
669.  you need to leave
this sorry-ass place
and that dead-end job.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
670.  Oh, Harold, Dr. Blalock's
doing the best he can for me.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
671.  Ah, it's not enough.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
672.  He trusts me to carry out
those experiments on my own.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
673.  I'm running
the whole lab.
Thank you, baby.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
674.  But does he compensate
you extra for that?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
675.  Oh now, Harold,
Vivien's doing important
research now.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
676.  But he's forgetting
what Granddaddy told us.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
677.  He said he regretted acting
so grateful for being free,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
678.  for what really wasn't
any freedom at all.
Wasn't freedom at all.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
679.  I know, I remember.
That's right.
Did you hear that?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
680.  Hey. What you giving
him extra for?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
681.  What's wrong with me?
Nothing minding your own
business wouldn't cure.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
682.  You got that white coat.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
683.  But you're just
a class three worker,
same as me.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
684.  In fact,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
685.  I got two years
seniority on you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
686.  I'm making more
than you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
687.  Don't think you some kind
of big shot around here.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
688.  Excuse me, buddy.
Class three,
what does that mean?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
689.  It means salary grade.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
690.  And, ma'am, and this here?
What's this?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
691.  Job classification.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
692.  What is class three?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
693.  Maintenance worker.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
694.  I'm a lab technician.
That can't be.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
695.  Vivien Thomas.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
696.  Okay. Here we go.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
697.  "Vivien Thomas,
class three."Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
698.  Thank you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
699.  How's it going?
The vessel's
tolerating ligation.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
700.  Any progress?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
701.  If you kill that dog,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
702.  I swear I will take it
out of your paycheck.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
703.  I'm finished up here.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
704.  Dr. Longmire, would you
mind closing up for me?
Thank you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
705.  Oh, come on, Vivien.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
706.  Vivien.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
707.  Vivien.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
708.  Vivien, I—
I was kidding
about taking itCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
709.  out of your paycheck.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
710.  Well, good luck 'cause
I only make $16 a week.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
711.  That's for a 16-hour day.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
712.  Well, that's all
they can pay.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
713.  That's all they can pay
class three workers
around here.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
714.  What are you
talking about?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
715.  That's my job
classification.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
716.  Who cares what
they call you,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
717.  you and I both know
how valuable the work is
that you do.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
718.  If my work is so important,
then why am I class three?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
719.  Two grades below what I do
in classification and pay.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
720.  I don't know why.
I don't pay attention
to bureaucratic details.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
721.  I see.
Look, at Hopkins
you can't be a technicianCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
722.  without a college degree.
And where are you going?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
723.  I need to fix
some steps.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
724.  We have work to do.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
725.  Do I have
your permissionCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
726.  to do some work
for my landlord,
so I can pay my rent?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
727.  Dr. Blalock, could you
come here please?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
728.  You're not gonna
believe this.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
729.  Look at the oximeter.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
730.  The gums are blue, Doctor.
Vivien did it.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
731.  Off, Alfred.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
732.  Off, Alfred!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
733.  I brought him up here.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
734.  I gave him this opportunity.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
735.  I don't set
the pay scale.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
736.  I just don't see
what more I can do.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
737.  You're probably
feeling guilty.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
738.  Guilty? What the hell do I
have to feel guilty about?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
739.  For not sending him
to college.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
740.  You think I should have
sent Vivien to college?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
741.  Sure, why not?
Told me that was his dream.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
742.  Even mentioned it
to me once.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
743.  You know I need him
in the lab.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
744.  Well...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
745.  I guess there's
only so much good
one person can do.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
746.  Congratulations
on the dog.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
747.  The kind of raise
you're suggesting,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
748.  how important is this?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
749.  He makes it
possible for meCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
750.  to be in many places
at the same time.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
751.  Can't you just hire
a well-trained college kid—Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
752.  No, I can't. His hands
are important to me.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
753.  He's good at following
my instructions,
improving on them.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
754.  Better than anyone
I've ever encountered.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
755.  So you want me to circumvent
every administrative regulationCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
756.  on behalf of a colored helper.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
757.  Walter, I'm close
to accomplishing something,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
758.  and I need him with me
so I can continue
with my research.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
759.  Can I count
on your help?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
760.  Hello, Clara.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
761.  Dr. Blalock.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
762.  Come in, sir.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
763.  Thank you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
764.  Is Vivien at home?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
765.  Yeah, he's putting
the kids down.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
766.  Viv.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
767.  You know...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
768.  in 13 years,
Dr. Blalock,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
769.  I don't recall you ever
stopping by our house.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
770.  I don't recall
ever being invited.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
771.  Professor.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
772.  Did something
happen?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
773.  Yes, I obtained a raise for you,
25 extra dollars a monthCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
774.  on top of what
you're already making.
That's 300 for the whole year.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
775.  Will that be sufficient?
What job classification?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
776.  Surgical technician.
I got you promoted.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
777.  Promoted... to what
he already does.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
778.  Excuse me.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
779.  Now you can pay your rent
and put all your focus
on our research.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
780.  Vivien, back there
in the lab with Panches,
what did you do?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
781.  What you suggested.
A partial fistula.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
782.  I stitched the main arteries
and veins together
end to end,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
783.  and two lobes
of the lungs.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
784.  We created a blue baby's
heart in that dog.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
785.  Did we?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
786.  Now we have our disease model,
we can find a cure.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
787.  And as much as I enjoyed
coming here to see you,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
788.  would you mind terribly
if I got you a telephone?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
789.  No, not at all.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
790.  Thank you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
791.  A shunt.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
792.  I'm sorry, Doctor,
what'd you say?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
793.  We need
to create a shuntCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
794.  to get more oxygenated
blood to the lungs.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
795.  Can't see how to do it.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
796.  Remember back
in VanderbiltCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
797.  when we were doing
the research onCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
798.  how to create high
blood pressure in the lungs?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
799.  Yes, I connected the subclavian
to the pulmonary artery.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
800.  We failed to get
the higher blood pressure,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
801.  but we did get
higher blood flow.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
802.  Which is exactly
what Dr. Taussig said
these babies need.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
803.  That's it.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
804.  We build a bypass.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
805.  Take an artery
and redirect it.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
806.  Systemic artery to
the pulmonary artery then—Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
807.  Through the lungs.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
808.  It's a long way around,
but it gets you there.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
809.  If we went from the right side,
we have an advantage there.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
810.  But the recurrent nerve
is in the way, and if
we kink that...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
811.  Vocal cords paralyzed.
And the carotid's here.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
812.  We may kill the brain
if we damage that.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
813.  Comforting thought.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
814.  The subclavian...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
815.  tie it off here.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
816.  After the divide.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
817.  Cut it right
under the clavicle.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
818.  Swing it down,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
819.  along a slow
general arc.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
820.  Will it hold if we pull it
down four inches?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
821.  If your hands don't
get too excited.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
822.  Thank you for the vote
of confidence.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
823.  No one's ever done
anything as hard as this.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
824.  Changing the course
of blood.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
825.  And turn blue
into pink.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
826.  And death into life.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
827.  I don't care
what the chart says.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
828.  This girl
wants to live.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
829.  Retractor.
No, suture.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
830.  Can't we try things
my way occasionally?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
831.  Oh, all right.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
832.  Sutures.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
833.  Do you mind if
I show you something, Doctor?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
834.  Thank you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
835.  Do you need
any help?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
836.  No, that's fine,
thank you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
837.  I have to purse string
the anastomosis.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
838.  Okay, there.
He's all yours, Doctor.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
839.  Do you feel
the connection?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
840.  Are you sure you
did this, Vivien?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
841.  This is like something
the Lord made.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
842.  Look, Mr. Saxon,
Mrs. Saxon,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
843.  I acknowledge that
these are uncharted waters.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
844.  There are risks.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
845.  But I think we
have found a wayCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
846.  to repair your
daughter's heart.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
847.  How?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
848.  You're stationed where—
Norfolk, is it, Mr. Saxon?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
849.  Yes sir. Been working
on the Spencer,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
850.  trying to get her
back out to sea.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
851.  You work on
the engines, right?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
852.  Yes sir.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
853.  Well, I'd be changing
around some of the pipingCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
854.  leading to and from
your daughter's heart.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
855.  Just... just switching
around the pipes?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
856.  Yes.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
857.  Arteries that bring the blood
to and from the heartCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
858.  to the lungs
act just like pipes.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
859.  I've been successful
switching them around.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
860.  It's that easy?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
861.  No, it's not that easy.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
862.  No surgery is,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
863.  and this operation has
special complications.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
864.  But I still think
it's worth doing.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
865.  Well...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
866.  we're gonna talk
about this, Doctor.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
867.  Good idea.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
868.  It's gonna be a lot
harder with a baby.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
869.  We're gonna have
to collapse one of her lungs.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
870.  She's already
so cyanotic.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
871.  She's not getting
enough oxygen,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
872.  and we're gonna have to take
away half of her lung function.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
873.  You made those
new clamps yet?
I'm working on it.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
874.  What if I shred her insides
with those clamps?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
875.  So many ways to fail.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
876.  Every second counts.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
877.  A single minute
is too long.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
878.  A single minute of poor
blood flow to the brain,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
879.  a single second
of open bleeding.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
880.  Mrs.
Are you saying I shouldn't
allow this doctorCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
881.  to perform a miracle
to save my baby?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
882.  We don't get
to demand miracles.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
883.  Honey, God has
his plans.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
884.  Maybe we just
have to accept it.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
885.  But I was so happy when
I was pregnant with Eilene.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
886.  You know, I haven't
had enough time.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
887.  Why can't God let me
get to know her first?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
888.  I mean, I don't want
to go against Him.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
889.  But why can't His plan be...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
890.  to let this doctor
save her life?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
891.  Professor Blalock.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
892.  Mrs. Saxon told me you plan
to operate on her baby.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
893.  Have you actually
seen this child, Doctor?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
894.  I check on
her every day.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
895.  And you're still
going to proceed?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
896.  Have you had any success
in the lab?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
897.  Absolutely.
I successfully performed
a shunt on a dogCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
898.  just two weeks ago.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
899.  I can't imagine
you're gonna proceedCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
900.  based on a laboratory
success on a dog.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
901.  How many people
have you saved?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
902.  So what you're telling me is
you're performing an experiment,
not an operation?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
903.  My instincts tell meCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
904.  nature made a mistake
and I can fix it.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
905.  Would you like to see
what I've been doing, Father?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
906.  And right now
my instincts tell meCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
907.  perhaps you should
come back another day.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
908.  What? Your quest
for glory is vain,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
909.  arrogant.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
910.  It takes arrogance to cut
someone with a scalpel,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
911.  to save their life.
I have no doubt.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
912.  But if you intervene
with God's will,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
913.  violate the purity
of an innocent heart,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
914.  the parents, not you, Doctor,
will bear the burden of guilt.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
915.  Perhaps God is, as you say,
trying to kill this child.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
916.  I am not.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
917.  Oh, look at this.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
918.  The shunt gave out.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
919.  Yeah, it looks like
a train wreck.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
920.  What happened
to you, Panches?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
921.  Maybe we should just
stop here, Doctor.
No.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
922.  We using
the wrong vessel?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
923.  What the hell's
going on?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
924.  Babe, babe.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
925.  Get up, baby.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
926.  Mm-hmm.
Wake up.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
927.  It's okay.
It's okay, baby.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
928.  It's just a nightmare.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
929.  Oh my God.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
930.  Where the hell have
you been, Vivien?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
931.  I had a dream about
this white woman last night.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
932.  Well, perhaps
that's something
best kept to yourself.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
933.  No...
( chuckles )Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
934.  I knew it was Eilene Saxon.
She was all grown up.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
935.  She was sitting
there in a corner.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
936.  She was knitting,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
937.  and she let out
a baby voiceCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
938.  and she fell over dead.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
939.  I couldn't see it,
but I knew that inside
she had a baby heart.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
940.  She just fell over dead.
What the hell does
that have to do wi—Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
941.  The stitchesCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
942.  didn't grow.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
943.  When we did the shunt
on Panches, he was 10 pounds.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
944.  He went up to 20.
He pulled it loose.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
945.  I was wrong.
Purse stringing doesn't work.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
946.  We need a new
stitching technique.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
947.  Continuous on the back wall,
interrupted on the front wall.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
948.  That's what we need.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
949.  And then,
the shunt will grow.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
950.  65% oxygenation.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
951.  She's deteriorating
so rapidly.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
952.  How will you have time
to practice the operation?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
953.  We can't let up.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
954.  What about the new
stitching technique?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
955.  We're trying
it out tomorrow.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
956.  Hey, you have
to see this.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
957.  Vivien Thomas is operating
assisted by the chief
of surgery.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
958.  Pull the inbound vein
ostomosis.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
959.  Long slow gentle arc.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
960.  I can't see.
Can you see, Vivien?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
961.  Could you adjust
that lamp?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
962.  Are the clamps
still holding?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
963.  Yes.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
964.  No kinking?
None.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
965.  All right,
now for the tough part.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
966.  Continuous sutures
on the back wall,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
967.  interrupted on the front.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
968.  Removing bulldog clamp...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
969.  Come on, girl.
Come on, please.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
970.  That's it.
A little bit more.
A little bit more.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
971.  I can feel the flow
to the lungs.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
972.  Helen, tell the Saxons
we'll be operating.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
973.  You betcha!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
974.  You'll be ready.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
975.  Yes.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
976.  Now that I've seen
the master at work.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
977.  Master of the hounds.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
978.  Your daddy should
be proud of you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
979.  I think he is.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
980.  Mine was only proud of the fact
that I could wiggle my ears.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
981.  I think he'll be proud
when you operate.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
982.  He's dead.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
983.  The dead are with us
all the time, I believe.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
984.  Can't separate the past
from the future,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
985.  any more than you can your
right arm from your left arm.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
986.  Ah, but you see,
they are separated,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
987.  by this,
by the heart.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
988.  Or connected.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
989.  Or connected.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
990.  "No... li...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
991.  tangare."
Do not touch.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
992.  Do not touch
the heart.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
993.  We are gonna challenge
this ancient doctrinal mythCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
994.  in this hospital.
Who wants to attend?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
995.  Dr. Swedlin?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
996.  Dr. Filmore?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
997.  Dr. Cooley.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
998.  And Dr. Longmire.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
999.  Thank you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1000.  Al, you're dangling
your reputation off a cliff.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1001.  Calm down, Walter,
this isn't grand opera.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1002.  Isn't a doctor's first tenet
"do no harm"?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1003.  What are you saying?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1004.  Postpone the operation
until you have more experience.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1005.  Postponing means signing
that baby's death warrant.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1006.  I will not be
the one to do that.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1007.  But they'll ruin you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1008.  Walter, I'm operating
tomorrow.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1009.  ( sighs )
Oh, Al.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1010.  You're rushing this.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1011.  'Cause you don't want
to admit to those parentsCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1012.  that you spoke too soon.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1013.  You should
come to bed.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1014.  I tried that.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1015.  Can I give you a ride
to the hospital tomorrow?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1016.  Thanks.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1017.  I could use the lift.
I don't trust myself
behind the wheel.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1018.  Al, anybody
would be nervous.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1019.  It's not that.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1020.  I was just thinking
about a remark you made.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1021.  You said I used
to be wild,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1022.  or just ambitious.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1023.  But I wonder if my ambition
hasn't driven me wild.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1024.  Dr. Taussig. Professor.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1025.  I just wanted to wish
good luck to everyone.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1026.  Thank you, Vivien.
Thanks, Vivien.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1027.  We're gonna block that
baby's pulmonary arteryCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1028.  for 30 minutes.
Oh.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1029.  As long as her blood pressure
doesn't go below 60,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1030.  I think,
she should be fine.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1031.  I don't think she can survive
much lower than that.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1032.  Isn't that right,
Dr. Harmel?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1033.  Not below 60,
that's right, Doctor.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1034.  Dr. Blalock,
they're ready.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1035.  Doctor.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1036.  Coming in now.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1037.  Dr. Longmire.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1038.  What the hell
is he doing?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1039.  What is going on?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1040.  They won't page him.
Why not?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1041.  Something about
hospital policy.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1042.  Page Vivien Thomas
immediately.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1043.  Dr. Blalock, what's wrong?
What's happened?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1044.  It's all right.
I won't tell you again.
Page him.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1045.  We're only allowed
to page doctors.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1046.  Gimme that goddamn phone!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1047.  Vivien Thomas,
paging Vivien Thomas.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1048.  You're wanted in OR.
Right now.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1049.  Come on, run, do you hear?
This is Blalock.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1050.  Thank you.
Good luck.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1051.  Oh.
Jesus.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1052.  About time. Scrub up.
Scrub up?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1053.  You're coming in with me.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1054.  Would you find Mr. Thomas
something to stand on?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1055.  What for, Doctor?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1056.  You're talking me
through this.
Now scrub up.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1057.  What's he doing?
What the hell's that?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1058.  I'll see
about this.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1059.  Should we say
a prayer?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1060.  Forget it.
He won't listen to me.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1061.  Dr. Blalock, a word.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1062.  You can resume
your duties.
These are his duties.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1063.  Can you see now?
Yes, Doctor.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1064.  Okay, I think
we're ready to start.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1065.  Okay.
We're going in.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1066.  It's gonna be
all right.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1067.  It'll be just fine.
( sobs )Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1068.  You'll be all right.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1069.  Incising
the mediastinal pleuraCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1070.  from the main left
pulmonary artery.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1071.  To the apex
of the pleural space.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1072.  I'm dissecting
the pulmonary artery.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1073.  Well back
into the mediastinal.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1074.  This all right,
Vivien?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1075.  That looks fine.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1076.  The right angle clamp.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1077.  Okay, I think it's holding.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1078.  Are you able to deliver
the left subclavian artery?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1079.  I believe so.
Blood pressure?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1080.  70, falling.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1081.  Now do not move
that light!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1082.  And nowCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1083.  I'm dividing the ar—
ooh!
Careful!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1084.  Clamp it, clamp it!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1085.  I can't reach it, Doctor.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1086.  I got it.
Hemorrhage controlled.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1087.  Can you see, Doctor?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1088.  Not really.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1089.  Nurse.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1090.  For goodness sake,
can't you even see my ears?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1091.  Sorry, Doctor.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1092.  The suture.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1093.  Blood pressure is 68.
Yes yes, go on.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1094.  Watch the carotid.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1095.  Yes, traction
on the suture.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1096.  Okay, now the clamp
Vivien made.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1097.  What clamp?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1098.  The one just there.
Right here, yes.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1099.  We're about
to connect the shunt.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1100.  Blood pressure is 60.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1101.  No, 59.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1102.  I know.
I'm almost there.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1103.  Now front interrupted.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1104.  Real good.
That's good, Doctor.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1105.  That's good,
just little more now.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1106.  Removing
the bulldog clamp.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1107.  I see some bleeding right—
I know.
I see it too. Suture.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1108.  Suture!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1109.  No no, Doctor,
the other way.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1110.  Yes yes!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1111.  Good good,
you got it now.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1112.  Bleeding controlled.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1113.  I'm palpating
the connection.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1114.  What do you feel?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1115.  I can't tell if blood is
flowing through the shunt.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1116.  It's just too small
to feel anything.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1117.  Dr. Blalock,
you have to see this.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1118.  Oh-hh my God.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1119.  ( gasps )
My God.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1120.  Her blood pressure
is rising.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1121.  Evacuate the blood
in the chest cavity, Bill.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1122.  Put in the chest tube.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1123.  Are we inflating
the left lung with oxygen?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1124.  Ready for closure.
( laughing )Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1125.  Who'd have
thought it possible—
heart surgery?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1126.  And we did it right here
at Johns Hopkins!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1127.  Thank you so much.
Thank you so much.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1128.  It'll be taught in every school
and hospital around the world!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1129.  We did it!
We did it!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1130.  I knew you could do it.
I knew you could...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1131.  Some operation, huh?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1132.  Man #2:
Amazing. That child's
chances were so slim.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1133.  Took a hell of a surgeon
to pull her through.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1134.  He was lucky to have
that nigger in there
with him.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1135.  Thomas sure
saved his ass.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1136.  I'd like to see him
try it without him.
( laughing )Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1137.  You did well
in there, Vivien.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1138.  Thank you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1139.  You performed
an excellent surgery, Doctor.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1140.  Yes.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1141.  I think I did.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1142.  Please, I understand,
but this is a hospital.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1143.  Can you please keep
your voices down?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1144.  I can understand
how you all must feel,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1145.  but we have been overwhelmed
with childrenCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1146.  from all across
the country,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1147.  and then there's
just one doctorCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1148.  to perform
these operations.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1149.  So if you could just go
to the administration office,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1150.  they'll be able
to accommodateCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1151.  all of you into
Dr. Blalock's schedule,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1152.  as soon as possible,
all right?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1153.  I'm terribly sorry.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1154.  Making the first incision.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1155.  Are you there, Vivien?
Yes, I'm here.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1156.  Thank you for the opportunity
to observe, Dr. Blalock.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1157.  It's an honor, Doctor.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1158.  Once again,
excellent work, gentlemen.
Thank you, Helen.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1159.  Now may I introduce
my colleagues?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1160.  Dr. Helen Taussig,
Vivien Thomas.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1161.  This is Dr. Craford
from Stockholm,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1162.  and Dr. Petrovsky
from Leningrad.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1163.  You have given surgeons
around the world great
courage with your deeds.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1164.  Coming from such
an eminent surgeon
as yourself,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1165.  that is a compliment
indeed.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1166.  It's been a great pleasure
to meet you, Dr. Taussig.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1167.  Oh, thank you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1168.  Dr. Thomas.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1169.  Call me Mr. Thomas

1170.  You're not a doctor?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1171.  Oh no, I just work here
with Dr. Blalock.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1172.  Can we please have all
the doctors who participatedCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1173.  in the Blue Baby operation
in this shot?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1174.  There's a young woman
who hitch-hikedCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1175.  from Appalachia
with her son.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1176.  And I think his blood levels
may be low enough to test.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1177.  Talk to Dr. Taussig
about scheduling him in.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1178.  If you'd all turn
and face the center,
please, like Dr. Longmire.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1179.  Helen.
Very good.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1180.  Thank you.
Now focus your
attention here, please.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1181.  Smile, focus here.
Hold that.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1182.  Good.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1183.  Now if we could have one
of you alone, Dr. Blalock.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1184.  Very good, sir.
Focus here if you would.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1185.  Here we go, Doctor.
Look here. Thank you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1186.  ( camera shutter clicks )
Thank you very much.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1187.  They're nice pictures,
aren't they?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1188.  They always have
nice pictures.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1189.  Just 'cause you're
not in the newsCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1190.  doesn't mean you
weren't there, Viv.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1191.  I'll— I'll be back.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1192.  A man who is
a real pioneer.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1193.  A gambler who takes
all the right risks,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1194.  who's rescued untold lives
with his work in shockCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1195.  and has gone on
to challengeCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1196.  the entire
medical establishmentCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1197.  to reconsider
an age-old tabooCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1198.  in performing the world's
first heart surgery.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1199.  Now without
embarrassing myself,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1200.  I'd like to introduce
a man who hasCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1201.  undeniably brought a dash
of pink to the cheeks of others.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1202.  ( laughing )
Dr. Alfred Blalock.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1203.  Thank you.
I am indeed honored.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1204.  And while I'm gratefulCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1205.  for the many giftsCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1206.  that have been given
to me in my life...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1207.  perhaps the greatest gift
has been the supportCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1208.  of my colleagues
over this last year.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1209.  My good friend
Walter Dandy.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1210.  The wonderful
brilliant colleaguesCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1211.  who assisted me
in our operation,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1212.  Dr. Helen Taussig,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1213.  Dr. William Longmire,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1214.  Dr. Denton Cooley,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1215.  Dr. Mel Harmel.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1216.  I believe one group
of people could not haveCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1217.  accomplished so much
in so little timeCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1218.  without a strong
unified effortCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1219.  in the spirit
of breaking new ground...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1220.  together.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1221.  To further
the reach of medicineCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1222.  is one that should
be cherishedCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1223.  and never
allowed to die.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1224.  What the hell
is this?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1225.  I need to do
something different.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1226.  What about our work?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1227.  You got all of those other
people you were thanking.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1228.  What are you
talking about?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1229.  The Belvedere Hotel.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1230.  The Belvedere
is segregated.
You were there?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1231.  Snuck in,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1232.  dressed like a bellhop.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1233.  Is that what this
is all about,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1234.  hobnobbing with
the powers-that-be?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1235.  Vivien, they will never
let you into their club.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1236.  It is naive
to think otherwise—Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1237.  Will you
stand still?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1238.  I'm not talking
about them.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1239.  I'm not talking
about Hopkins.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1240.  I'm talking about you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1241.  Me?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1242.  What have I ever done
except fightCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1243.  in your corner?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1244.  I have taken you every step
of the way with meCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1245.  and now you wanna throw
all that away, for what?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1246.  Is that any way
to show your gratitude?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1247.  I don't know.
You tell me, Doctor.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1248.  Vivien.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1249.  Take pride in the fact
you have power in your mindCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1250.  and in your heart.
And in my hands.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1251.  Exactly,
in your hands.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1252.  We made history
together.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1253.  We changed the world.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1254.  The world...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1255.  I'm invisible
to the world.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1256.  I don't mind that.
I understand that.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1257.  I thought it was
different in here.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1258.  Mr. Thomas,
I'm a little confused.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1259.  Now you want college credit
from Morgan State,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1260.  without actually
taking classes?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1261.  In certain courses.
Yes, I'll take
the test.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1262.  I'll take finals.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1263.  Chemistry, biochemistry,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1264.  science, physics.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1265.  So I can get the credit
for material I already know.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1266.  I need to get through college
a little more quickly,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1267.  so I can get on
to med school.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1268.  And so you actually
participated inCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1269.  all this groundbreaking
research, Mr. Thomas?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1270.  Yes yes, I did.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1271.  Yeah, well...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1272.  I'm afraid it
just doesn't work like that.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1273.  You'll have to start
with freshman English,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1274.  a social science, maybe...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1275.  I don't have
time for that.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1276.  I'm 35 years old.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1277.  You're saying that I'd have
to start at the beginning?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1278.  Well, yes, Mr. Thomas.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1279.  I'm afraid that is
in fact what I'm saying.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1280.  I thought this institution
provided opportunity
for colored people?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1281.  I have a wife,
two young daughters, son.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1282.  And I've been working
in my field for over...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1283.  almost 15 years now.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1284.  I'm from Nashville.
I came—Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1285.  And what can
I do for you?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1286.  My name is
Vivien Thomas.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1287.  I work for
the Ralph Wintham Company.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1288.  We have a line
of pharmaceuticals,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1289.  particularly antacids.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1290.  We already have
a supplier of antacids.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1291.  Yes, well,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1292.  these antacids block against
gastroesophageal refluxCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1293.  without any
added side effect.
Vivien Thomas.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1294.  The fellow
with the blue babies?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1295.  A patient of mine
works at the hospital,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1296.  told me about you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1297.  Hopkins is doing wellCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1298.  because of what
you did for them,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1299.  and here you are.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1300.  Well...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1301.  I don't have anything
against the hospital.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1302.  I'm just working in medicine
in a different way now.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1303.  Let's see what
other lines you have.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1304.  Well, yes, we have
effervescent powder here.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1305.  Oh!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1306.  Will you look who's here?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1307.  Hello, hello!
Come on, baby,
say hi to grandma.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1308.  Oh, my bab—Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1309.  oh, my goodness!Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1310.  How you doing?
How you doing, sweetheart?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1311.  Look at him. Look at him.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1312.  Stop all that running.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1313.  Go upstairs
and wash your hands,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1314.  and bring your little sister
back down with you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1315.  And be careful
on them steps.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1316.  Well, what about
construction?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1317.  I keep asking him—
Thomas & Thomas.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1318.  With the building boom,
we could clean up.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1319.  Now he know I can't saw
a plank worth a damn.
That's the truth.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1320.  Yeah, Dad, I did see
that mailbox leansCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1321.  to the side a little bit.
( laughing )Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1322.  I still don't understand
why you quit teaching
in the first place.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1323.  I never really liked
the classroom that much, Clara.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1324.  Too many kids.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1325.  But you fought all those years,
and you won the case, so...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1326.  Exactly.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1327.  And quitting now means you've
just wasted a whole lot of time.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1328.  No no, I...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1329.  Well, I don't think
it's a waste of time.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1330.  If Harold wasn't down there
doing what he was doing,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1331.  there would still be
a lot of colored teachers
down there getting cheated.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1332.  I think they ought
to name the school
after him.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1333.  ( scoffs )
Yeah, Harold Thomas High.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1334.  Mm-hmm.
Harold Thomas High.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1335.  Hear hear.
Naw.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1336.  Most of these young teachers,
they don't know anything
about that strike.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1337.  They just take their
equal paycheck for granted.
Harold, you're full of excuses.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1338.  There's ain't no point
in you waiting for the world
to thank you, Harold.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1339.  That bus ain't
never gonna come.
Amen to that.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1340.  I'm not waiting, Pop.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1341.  I'm just looking
for something that excites meCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1342.  as much as hammering nails
pleases you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1343.  Hey, Viv,
"Jeopardy" is on.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1344.  I'll be in
in a minute.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1345.  You okay?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1346.  I'm fine.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1347.  Stomach's bothering me
a little bit,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1348.  but I'm fine.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1349.  Why don't you take one
of them fancy antacid pillsCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1350.  you always brag about?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1351.  It's your brother?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1352.  I miss him.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1353.  I miss the old Harold.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1354.  He seems a little
lost now.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1355.  I miss you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1356.  Still got my mind
in that lab.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1357.  It's not just your mind, Viv.
It's your heart too.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1358.  I don't know what
I'm supposed to do, Clara.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1359.  I think I've embarrassed
myself enough.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1360.  I can't go back in there
with my tail between my legs.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1361.  It's where you belong,
Vivien Thomas.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1362.  So how you walk
back on in there, well...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1363.  that's up to you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1364.  ( knocking )
Dr. Yes.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1365.  Vivien.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1366.  Doctor.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1367.  Good morning.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1368.  How was your trip
to Europe?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1369.  Well, it was
very gratifying.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1370.  The entire world seems
to have stood on its feetCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1371.  for this moment
in time.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1372.  What can I do
for you, Vivien?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1373.  I've made a mistake,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1374.  and I would likeCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1375.  my old position back.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1376.  Well, and how's it
gonna be any different?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1377.  I'm still the same
self-righteous bastard.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1378.  It's not about you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1379.  It's about the work.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1380.  I like the work.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1381.  Mr. Thomas, we've got an animal
going into shock here,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1382.  What do we do, sir?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1383.  Did you try clamping offCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1384.  the lateral part
of the atrium?
You got 'em.
All right.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1385.  Hold it right there.
Okay.
Yeah.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1386.  Good. Okay.
( chuckling )Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1387.  Look there.
You handled yourself
well there, Doctor.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1388.  That's good.
Thank you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1389.  This is—Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1390.  There was a message
for you, Mr. Thomas.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1391.  Dr. Blalock
wanted to see you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1392.  I'm sorry. Would you
tell him I'll see him—Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1393.  He's about
to leave for the day.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1394.  Honey, I have
to call you back.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1395.  Okay.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1396.  How's your girls?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1397.  Oh, they're fine.
They're doing well.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1398.  Theo's in
Morgan State now.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1399.  Oh, that must
feel good.
Yes. Yes.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1400.  How are things
with you?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1401.  Well, you know,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1402.  I've had the unfortunate
experience of beingCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1403.  put in the hands
of surgeons.
Hmm.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1404.  You have something
on your mind, Doctor?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1405.  Yes, Columbia's been
dangling an offer to teach.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1406.  But I wanted
to talk to you first.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1407.  I really would like you
to come with me, Vivien.
They know about your work.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1408.  You could write
your own ticket.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1409.  It's hard to imagine
being there without you.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1410.  Well, I thank you
for thinking of me, Doctor.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1411.  But I think I should stay here.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1412.  We could do
great things there.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1413.  Wouldn't it be fun
to do it one more time?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1414.  One more time.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1415.  Hmm.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1416.  I like what I'm doing.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1417.  Teaching,
helping people along.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1418.  Working with
the young doctors.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1419.  I like it here at Hopkins.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1420.  Yeah, I...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1421.  I guess you got your own
things going on here now.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1422.  I recognize this man.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1423.  That man looks very
distinguished up there.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1424.  Well, thank you, Vivien.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1425.  That was a while ago.
Yeah.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1426.  I'm feeling
the years now.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1427.  Hmm, yes yes.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1428.  We all are now.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1429.  You know, Vivien...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1430.  they say you
haven't really livedCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1431.  unless you have
a lot to regret.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1432.  I regret...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1433.  I have some regrets.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1434.  But I think we should
remember not what we lost...Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1435.  but what we've done.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1436.  All the lives we saved
and we did.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1437.  We saved plenty,
didn't we, Vivien?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1438.  Yes, we did.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1439.  Yes, we did.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1440.  No.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1441.  Vivien, it's Helen.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1442.  I'm sorry to tell you thatCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1443.  Dr. Blalock passed away
in his sleep last night.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1444.  We see death every day.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1445.  It doesn't make it
any easier, does it?Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1446.  I'm very sorry.Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1447.  Today, we honor someoneCopy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1448.  who never took a course
in medical school,Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
1449.  and stillCopy !req
