"Peaked out at five feet, seven inches;" "was told his whole life he was too small for hockey." "First in his family to go to college." "Graduated, went undrafted, eventually got picked up, and is now poised to sign a multi-million dollar contract at the end of the season after a break-out year." "Hockey wasn't supposed to just change his life, it was supposed to change his entire family's life." "So, what can we do for Billy?" "CHANNARAYAPATRA:" "Unfortunately, we've had very little success with spinal cord injuries like this one." "Well, we have had some success with epidural spinal cord stimulation." "True, subjects showed some limited improvement in lower extremity movement." "Where are we with stem cells?" " Gliomas." " Huh?" "Here's the trouble with stem cells... theoretically, we can get them re-growing new nerve cells, but we don't know how to reliably stop that growth." "Which creates a risk of cancerous spinal cord tumors." "Gliomas." "There is a surgery they did in Poland that used nasal olfactory ensheathing cells." "Yeah, OECs are unique to the central nervous system." "They help heal the nerves we use to smell after an injury." "And OECs won't cause cancer since they're native to the nervous system." "CHENG:" "Right, so they take the regenerative cells in the nose and suspend them in a hydrogel, creating like a liquid scaffolding, which fills in the injured parts of the spine." "Scientists did it to this guy who'd been paralyzed from the chest down, and check it out." "(indistinct talking)" " That's incredible." " (people cheering on video)" "Can we do it?" "We can definitely try." "That was a knife injury though, right?" "Spinal cord was cleanly severed." "This is different." "CHENG:" "I mean, we won't know for sure how Billy's injury would respond." " Or if it would at all." " Yeah, but it might." "Yes." "But it's a moonshot." "The greatest predictor of a spinal cord victim's future success is the grueling work he needs to put in post-accident." "Physical therapy, rehab, talk therapy." "It's going to take a herculean effort from Billy." "I'm gonna need him to give me everything that he's got on a daily basis." "I cannot have him wag for a miracle, James." " Noted." "Let's go talk to him." " James?" "Fine, you do the talking." "I promise not to over-promise." "Oh, and W, your wife is here." "How do you know that?" "I see everything, W. Go." "(clears throat)" "We're sorry." "We know it's a tough diagnosis, Billy." "How long did it take me to rehab my ACL?" "Six weeks." "They said it was gonna be a year." "BILLY:" "People tell me no all the time." "If I listened to them, I wouldn't be a professional hockey player." "Billy, I believe that 100%." "But a spinal cord injury is very different to a torn ACL." "But people do still sometimes recover, right?" "If anyone can, Billy can." "His coach says he works harder than anyone he's ever seen in his whole career." "And that is gonna come in very handy once we start rehab." "But I have to warn you, we start at the very beginning." "Learning to sit up, to move your hands." "You don't understand." "My contract's up at the end of the season." "I was gonna buy my parents a house." "You guys are supposed to be the best hospital in the world." "You got to fix me." "There is... one... possibility." "It's highly experimental." "I don't want you to put too much hope in this, but he had similar injuries." "CHANNARAYAPATRA:" "Just to be clear, this was months after rehab." "MAN (on video):" "You can do it." "You can do it." "Yeah." "Come on." "(cheering)" "Oh, my God." "Billy, did you see that?" "I want that." "This is one isolated case." "There's no guarantee that..." "But that guy's just a regular guy."

"Nanopore DNA sequencing and advanced genetic engineering." "This." "(sighs)" "This artificial womb." "Eventually, we'll be able to help a fetus sustain life" " outside of the embryonic environment." " Wow." "Yeah." "You're gonna love this." "We've been working on it for a couple months." "It's for amputees." "How does it work?" "It's voice activated." "Basically, the arm translates voice commands into complex, pre-programmed tasks." "It has force sensors that help it grip objects in different ways." "So, it knows how to pick up a bottle differently than, say, a grape." " Pick up bottle." " (arm whirring)" "(chuckling):" "Oh, wow." " (gasps)" " Pick up grape." "(arm whirring)" "We lost a lot of grapes in the process." "You could always make wine." "I've always wanted a winery." "Next on my list." "After saving the world." " Amazing." " (chuckles)" " How's the tour going?" " Hey." "Well, I mean, I have to admit," "I am very impressed." "Come along, W." "I was about to show Jules the E-Hub." "It's gonna blow your mind." "(Bell and Julianna chuckling)" ""Jules"?" "(whispers):" "It's in the bag." "JULIANNA:" "Bioprinting?" "No." "There's no way." "We've put months into this study." "We just issued a blanket ban on all bioprinting." "He knows that, right?" "You told him that?" "Yes." "As our presentation demonstrated, we've run multiple animal model trials, and we've implemented safety measures to ensure that this procedure is absolutely safe on skin." "Oh, yeah, I mean, your research is spectacular, and the presentation is unparalleled, but there are still risks." "Infections, fibrosis." "I-I understand that you're used to working in more unregulated environments, but you are going to have to learn to work with us and not around us, and follow the proper protocol." "I am... following protocol." "I'm requesting a one-time emergency exemption." "No." "Emergency exemptions are only used in life and death scenarios." "And this is not life and death." "I'm sure you explained to James about emergency exemptions." "I did." " JULIANNA:" "Okay." " (sighs)" "This is a single mom who burned her face in a kitchen accident." "She's a single mom." "She needs her life back." "And she will get her life back." "Through skin grafts." "And perhaps, in due time, through bioprint technology." "When we know with absolute certainty, that it's safe." "And maybe you and your hospital will get the first shot at it, but there's a reason for regulation." "There's a reason why we have got to be very, very careful exploring these new technologies." "We are dealing with people's lives." "I'm so sorry, but I have conference calls right now that I can't miss." "So, um, thank you very much for the tour." "(clears throat)" "I really do respect what you're trying to do here." "I'll see you at lunch?" "See you at lunch." "Okay." "Bye." "I could've saved you the airfare." "CHANNARAYAPATRA:" "Surgery went very well, Billy." "I don't feel any different." "Well, as we said, the axons grow half a millimeter every day." "And we have a 30 to 40 millimeter gap to fill in." "It'll be at least 60 days before we could expect to see what kind of results it will yield." "In the meantime, it's important we start to talk about learning to live in your new body." "You have to learn how to monitor yourself in an entirely new way." "You will have limited sensation below your level of injury." "Which means you won't know when your bladder is full, or be able to empty it voluntarily." "You will need to follow a new routine." "What are you doing?" "Um, I'm gonna write everything down." " So that..." " What's there to write down?" "I can't walk..." "got to learn to walk again." "You'll use this to empty your bladder." "I got to stick..." "I stick that up my..." "Could you please wait outside?" "It's okay." "It's not okay." "You have to do it every four hours." "Dr. C showed me how it works." "You guys talked about this?" "Baby, it's fine." "I'm not embarrassed." "So now you're telling me that I need my girlfriend's help to take a piss?" "I can't even go to the bathroom on my own?" " Baby..." " I can't hold your hand, okay?" "But I can still hold yours." "I'm here for you." "And I'm going to help you get through all of this." "You're not my nurse!" "This is so stupid." "James Bell told me I was gonna be playing hockey again." "You showed me that video." "We... we hope that the olfactory cell surgery will eventually help you achieve major progress." "But as we..." "But I'm not gonna play hockey ever again?" "It's over." "That's what you're saying, right?" "We can come back to this, okay?" "So let's just take some time out." "No." "Can you please leave?" "Billy..." "Can you please just go home?" "Get out of here!" "Show me how this damn this works." "Queen to rook three." " (exhales)" " Checkmate." "Got me again, Louis." "(groans) It's the board."

"I was just meeting Walt for a bite." "Adorable." "Have you been to our dining hall yet?" "It's got a robot that serves frozen yogurt." "It's a can't-miss." "Did you get your action figure yet?" "Oh, yeah, I did." "(laughs)" "Great pose." "Very authoritative." "Um, look... (sighs) I wanted to talk to you." "I need you to know that I'm completely respectful of your professional opinion." "I don't want that meeting to somehow dampen your visit here." "And in the future," "I'll be more careful to follow protocol and..." "Okay." "Thanks, James." " Yeah."

"What Amy didn't know about the accident is that Izzy feels responsible for it." "Amy was carrying a boiling pot of water to the sink... she slipped backwards on some liquid and scalded her face." "It was Izzy's bubbles." "She was too scared to tell her mom, and, naturally, she was racked with guilt and fear." "Jules, this is an emergency." "It isn't vanity." "That little girl has more scars than her mom." "This is extreme emotional manipulation." "Is it working?" "It-It's a huge professional risk that you're asking me to take, and I have an impeccable record." "So no one's gonna question you." "Right, unless something goes wrong." "You want to meet her?" "Hi, Dr. Brockett." " Hello." " Hi, Izzy." "This is my wife, Julianna." "Hi." "Your dog's named Lasagna." "(chuckles):" "Yes, he is." "You want to see a picture?" "(Brockett whispers indistinctly)" "All right, one time First-In-Human trial." "That's it." "I'll clear it with the Committee." "Thank you." "BROCKETT (chuckling):" "Cute, huh?" "Super cute." "We use this scanner to map te surface of your burn," "Like a topographic map, so we can figure out the exact arrangement in which we need to print the skin cells." "Then we put the data in the printer." "And this is where you come in, Izzy." "You see that button?" "When it's time, we're gonna tell you to push that button." "Just this button, okay?" "And just once." "And when you do, that printer is gonna start printing out your mommy's new face." "But it won't work unless you push that button right when we tell you to." " Think you can do that for us?" " Yes." "Let me take you to one of our ambassadors." "We have scrubs just for you." "Bye, honey." "I love you." "Bye, Mommy." "(instrument whirring)" "All they have to do is open up the brain, find the motor cortex, and implant a chip." "I'm the one doing the coding, the one doing the hard work." "(clears throat)" "Maybe don't tell them I said that."

"That's okay." "That's on me." "You need more time." "Wait." "He's not done." "Billy, you know when I fell in love with you?" "State Championships in St. Paul, sophomore year." "I didn't fall in love with you because you were a hockey star." "You really don't know?" "When I was 16, my parents got me a used car, and it was always having" " all kinds of problems." " (chuckles)" "On our third date, we went to the movies, and the car got a flat." "Billy said he was gonna fix it." "So... here's this 16-year-old kid..." "He has no idea how to change a flat tire." "It's Minnesota in January..." "I knew how to change a tire." "You did not, but you figured it out." "It took you an hour." "And I thought to myself, here's a person who doesn't give up." "Here's a person who can do anything." "I hate you having to see me like this." "Billy," "I love you so much." "Now hold my damn hand." "(strained breath)" "(exhales)" "Okay." "(whispering): "There once was a beautiful princess..."" "I told you we could do it." "What'd I say?" "Bring her here." "I'll take care of the rest." "That is absolutely not what happened." "I really think it was the gift basket." "James, I need you to listen to me, and confirm that you're hearing what I say." "We got that approval through on a loophole." "Julianna took a big professional risk, and we're not gonna do that again." "James." "It's all set up and pre-programmed." "Ooh, thank you, Angie." "What are you doing with that?" "Do you think this should be in the gift basket?" "James." "James!" "This might be a game to you, but it's not to me." "This is my marriage, and you need to stay out of it from now on." "It's not a game to me." "It's a patient." "I always put my patients first." "Maybe you're too afraid to admit it, but you do, too, don't you?" "Your move, Louis." "Rook to Knight Three." "(robot arm whirring)" "(laughing):" "Great toy." "How'd this happen?" "You know, Louis, I am gonna change the world, but sometimes you need a few small victories just to keep you going." "Bishop to Knight Seven." "(robot arm whirring)" "Checkmate." " (sighs) - (Louis chuckles)" "You couldn't have given me one small victory, Louis?" "(both laughing)" "Once more?" "My schedule is open." "(chuckling)" "BELL:" "When did you know you were gonna beat me?" "When you walked in the room." "BELL (chuckles):" "Shut up." "Yeah, right."
