Inert Dwarf (S04E09)

Dr. John Manotti (Austin Pendleton), who is wheelchair-bound, and his research partner, Dr. Carl Neminger (Steve Routman), are at Manotti's home trying to unlock the Theory of Everything, one of the most complicated theories in the history of quantum physics. Manotti's trophy wife, Joanna (Marla Sucharetza), comes in and orders Neminger to leave. Manotti and Neminger are on a tight deadline - they are scheduled to present their new theory in two months at a major conference in Berlin - but she cuts their session short. Neminger and his assistant, a graduate student named Sateesh (Aasif Mandvi), leave Manotti's house. The following day, Neminger starts to act strangely while at home. After speaking at a conference, Neminger starts to cough up blood and by the time he gets to Grand Central station, he is surrounded by police because he is literally radioactive. (iTunes)
