who's gonna want to get surgery here? well, he forgot to wipe this down. hopefully, this will tell us. wendy, do you recognize this man? (whispers): it's dr. phelps. he performed surgery on you, didn't he? i was born with messed up kidneys. i needed a transplant. why didn't you go to the hospital? i did. they put me on a donor list five miles long. so i did some searching on the internet and found out there were other ways. you mean the black market? i posted on a bunch of message boards, then i got a call, and some guy said they found a match for me. go on. he told me when to show up at dr. phelps' house.

♪ boa vista: we found your fingerprint on the organ transporter. phelps is the one that took that from the hospital. always put it back when we were done. it's clear that you assisted the doctor with the surgeries. yeah, i can hand the scalpel over just as good as the next guy. keeping costs down just puts more money in my pocket. talking about money? you we messing with people's lives. i found a group of people with a need, so i filled it.

85,000 people... waiting. 60,000 for a kidney. that's a lot of customers. so you found donors. (chuckles softly) i'm good at sales. wasn't hard. trolled blood banks looking for matching donors. it's amazing what people will part with for a little money. well, you and the ctor d a pretty good scheme. what happened? u got grdy, you decided that you could do the wholehing by yourself? (laughs) no. the doctor developed a very bad habit. hey. it's no wonder you can't hold a scalpel straight. it's your fault he died. that's what we were really fighting about yesterday, after the surgery. yes, the surgery in which someone died.
3:42 am
right? a patient. during the surgery. oh, my god, no. what the hell have you done? this was just a routine procedure. phelps told me it was a complication. i'm pretty sure he messed it up. i don't know what happened. i'm not taking the fall for this! we have to get rid of him. right. wasn't my fault th guy died. and i didn't kill the doctor either. colin, where is that patient's body now? third mile marker.

3:47 am
ends up in an unmarked grave. well, mauricio definitely died during that surgery. or a little while after. and what were the, uh, what were the complications that he died of? the suturing on this renal artery to the new kidney is disgraceful. jagged, uneven... looks like dr. phelps was channeling frankenstein. yeah. the sutures would've caused his abdomen to fill with blood, he wouldn't have realized anything was wrong until after he stapled him up. but by that point, mr. correo had clotted out and died. did you just say this guy was stapled up? yeah. i took them out to get a better look. ah! i got stuck by a staple when, uh, calleigh and i were checking out dr. phelps' body up in the attic. well, they wouldn't have been from this guy. all his staples are accounted for. but... you know what? this is tissue from the donor kidney. you're gonna take it and run it for dna.
3:48 am
because unlike a blood transfusion, where the donor dna disappears... donated organ retains the dna of its donor. i'm going to run this through codis, thanks. caine: you look like you're in some pain, jeff. i'm fine. are you? yeah. look, i told you guys why i was at that house. tripp: yeah, well, i can't wait to hear the magical tale of how your kidney landed in another man's body. caine: you sold your kidney to dr. phelps, didn't you, jeff? you're wrong. take your shirt up. lift it up, jeff. now, that really doesn't look too good.

dropped a staple in the attic, didn't you, sport? he told me everything was gonna be fine, okay? don't worry. what's that for? why the hell'd you agree to something like that in the first place? you want to know why? because the housing market is a disaster. i racked up a lot of debt over the past year, okay? i went to give plasma, you know what i got? i got 30 dollars. so a man came up to me while i was in line, and he said i could save a life and make some money. now, we needed that money to keep going. there's this little innocent boy that's in desperate need of a kidney. it just so happens he's the same blood type as you. no, no, thanks. sir, that boy will die without your help. we have a world-class surgeon. we'll have you back on your feet and ten g's richer in no time. is it safe? completely. okay. okay, i'll think about it. i started feeling weak after the surgery. i couldn't hold down food, man. i think i needed both kidneys, not just one.
3:50 am
so, you confronted the doctor? yes! okay, i went to his house. that's what i did. he left, i followed him to the foreclosure, all right? yo, ricky. i need to score now. i'll be inside waiting. unh-unh, hey, you can't be here. it's an emergency, doc, i need your help. you volunteered, man. you told me everything was gonna be all right. doc, i feel like i'm dying. it's not my problem. it is now.
