All language subtitles for Diagnosis Murder 3 A Twist Of The Knife

Patient's ready, doctor.

Hello?

Yes, yes, this is Dr. Rachel Walters.

Ask the driver to wait. I'll be down in
15 minutes.

Oh, I was just leaving. You can go
ahead.

Yes, I'm ready. I'll be... Hello,
Dennis.

Dennis, I'm late. I can't... Yes, yes. I
will talk with you later.

I'll clean it up.

How was your flight, Doctor? It was
good, yes.

I'm still a little jet -lagged, but I'm
sure I'll be fine by tomorrow.

Well, if there's anything you need, just
let my office know.

I've scheduled a press conference with
Tim this morning. Fine.

Here's your first patient.

Yes. I recognize him.

Senator Cabot, Dr. Walters. My aide,
Cliff Rand.

I've gone over your chart, but I'd like
to examine you myself before tomorrow's

procedure. Doctor, from what I hear, I'm
in excellent hands.

Mrs. Cabot would like a 24 -hour private
nurse in attendance.

He'll be in the recovery ICU, so a
private nurse really won't be necessary.

Cabot wants a private nurse.

It's not going to be a problem, is it?

No. I'm a private nurse.

Absolutely. Thank you.

Take the plat.

It matches your eyes.

So, this is the famous lady heart
surgeon, huh?

Yeah.

Not bad.

Not bad?

I was her supervising resident when she
entered medical school.

I was nuts about her.

How nuts?

Well, in a moment of weakness, I
proposed.

She had the good sense of decline.

That was long before your mom.

Ah, here's a picture of you.

Yeah?

You look a little goofy.

Goofy? Well, I was very, very skinny.

And that cheap suit didn't help much
either.

What are you talking about, graduation
pictures with hair down to what, hair?

If you want to talk hair, that's
practically a crew cut. You look like a

You don't show my picture to anybody, do
you?

What would you take for me not to show
it to anybody in your department?

Rigatoni at Luigi's, Thursday.

You're on.

How about tonight?

Got a date.

So you mind if I borrow some roses from
your garden?

Roses? This must be... Really serious.
Fellow police officer?

No. As a matter of fact, it's your very
own Judith Randall.

Judith, my favorite nurse?

That's great. What did you get tased?

If I had taste, I wouldn't be drinking
your coffee.

Help yourself to the rose garden.

Thanks, Steve.

You're sure this time's okay?

You're nervous about seeing Rachel
Walters after all these years?

A little bit.

Well, I'll smile a lot. She won't know,
will she?

Oh. Listen, pick pink roses. That's
Judah's favorite.

Pink, good. Thanks.

Hot tea and honey.

Huh? For the cough.

Honey soothes your throat, and the hot
tea helps your sinuses.

I think about cutting out those
cigarettes while I was at it, too.

Who are you, my doctor?

Never know.

Okay, you're sold.

Six to one.

Six to one. You're making me laugh. You
know, I can get eight to one from JoJo

Banner.

You know what you're doing to me?

You're killing me. That's what you're
doing. You're killing me.

Take it easy.

Relax. Take it easy. Hey, what's with
him?

You're going to be all right. You're
going to be all right now.

Are you really a doctor? Yeah.

Feeling better?

Yeah.

What'd you do?

Just a carotid artery massage to
regulate your arrhythmia.

It's about 85 now.

Call the hospital for an ambulance.

No. I'm on. No way. No way.

No. No ambulance. I got calls from the
guy. I got business to run.

Oh! At least let me take you there. You
can call your own doctor.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Okay. I'm right over
here.

Take it easy.

A little shaky?

Yeah. Yeah.

You're going to have to stay here a
while for observation.

Eddie will get you in your room, Bernie.
I'll be around in a few minutes to get

you all squared away. Great, great. Hey,
Eddie, you play the horses?

Because I have got a winner of the
trifecta, the fifth at Hialeah. You're

to love it. It's going to make you a
wealthy man.

Hey, I wondered where you were.

Your new skates came in. My skates?

These are great.

These are supposed to be much, much
faster.

You know, I was talking to somebody
about you today.

I can't think of his name, though.

Oh, well, that's all right. I think I
know who you're talking about.

I've got to run. Okay, see you. Thanks.

As you all know, Dr. Walters refined her
cardiac catheterization procedure at

the Boston Medical Center.

In the past year, she has performed her
procedure at major medical centers in 10

cities as a way of educating her
colleagues in this life -saving

We are most indebted to Dr. Walters for
including Community General in her

series of teaching demonstrations.

Community General is a hospital with a
fine reputation, and I am delighted to

here. Thank you.

This is terrific.

Ladies and gentlemen, my assistant will
be happy to provide you with material

detailing Dr. Walters' cardiac
procedure.

Thank you for coming.

So, I'm thinking to myself, Amanda loves
to go backpacking, Amanda loves hiking.

And Gary offers me this condo for the
long weekend. It's so beautiful up

You will love it. Nice try, Jack. But a
long weekend hiking is not exactly what

you had in mind. Amanda, no, I swear.
Just two people exercising and eating

granola and going into the forest and
the moon.

I'm sorry.

The next week or so, I'm going to be
right here.

Watching Dr.

Rachel Walters perform her new surgery
and attending her seminars. Wait, wait,

wait. The hospital will videotape it.
You can watch it when you get back.

can you honestly tell me that you would
have passed up a chance to watch

Christian Barnard perform the first
heart transplant?

For a weekend with you?

Yes. Nice try, Jack.

Oh, I'm sorry, sir. Excuse me.

Mark. Rachel.

Mark.

What are you doing here?

I thought you were still in Chicago.

Well, I've been here for years,
practicing medicine.

Still giving fast service. Yes, yes, and
still colorful. Oh, Mark.

I had no idea you were on staff here.
Well, there's no reason you should. I

mean, we're not all famous.

Oh, you have done such brilliant work.

Rachel, I should have known you. Oh,
I...

I'm so surprised. I don't know what to
say.

Well, you can start by telling me how
you managed to stay so beautiful all

years. Oh, Mark.

You haven't changed at all.

You always make me feel so special.

Well, that wasn't hard. You are special.

Well, time has been good to you. How
about life?

Well, I have no complaints. And you?

You're looking at a contentment, man.
Yeah.

I bet you married a terrific woman with
a wonderful sense of humor. I did. She

needed one to put up with me. Yes.

I've been widowed three years now,
Rachel. Oh, Mark, I'm so sorry. Thank

But I was lucky. All my memories are
good ones.

Any children?

Yeah, one. A boy. And I was lucky there
again.

Stop it.

This is my knees stop shaking. I have to
go. Your knees are shaking? Why?

Are you nervous talking to me? A little
bit. No.

Well, how long has it been?

You better not say. You better not.

Not a word, I promise.

If you'll have dinner with me at my
house tonight.

Well, I'm making a speech at that
cocktail reception for Dr. Bristol.

coming? I've got patients till seven.

I'll pick you up.

You got a deal. Oh, good. See you then.
Oh, this is great.

Oh, I don't believe how stupid I am.
What is it?

I left my notes for my speech back at
the hotel.

No problem. I'll take you back. No, no,
no. I don't want you to be late. You go

ahead. Tell him I had to fix my hair or
something.

I'll borrow the car and be right back.
Are you sure? Positive.

Go ahead.

And then, when you got the skeleton from
anatomy class, and you put the wig, and

you put the coat on it, and you put it
in the back of the chemistry class, and

that, what was it, Professor... Bowman.
No. No, no.

Bowman. Bowman. Dr.

Bowman. Nearsighted Dr. Bowman kept
asking it questions.

Oh, God.

I tell you, if one of my residents did
that today, I'd... You would laugh.

No, I'd kill him. That is the oldest
joke in medical history.

Oh, Mark. You've always had a sense of
humor about yourself.

About medicine, you were always serious.

Not like me. I was always a drone.

No.

You were always brilliant.

A little under -serious.

Want to go in the living room?

Rachel, look what you've done with your
life.

Oh, you mean my career?

Well, look at the contributions you've
made.

to medical technique, to teaching, must
give you great satisfaction.

I dedicated my life to it.

Any regrets?

Only that I didn't get to marry a sweet
man like you.

Oh, I think we both learned that it's
not possible to have everything.

Well, maybe not all of everything.

A little bit of everything.

Taste, maybe.

I think what's important is that what we
have makes us happy.

Does your work make you happy?

Yes.

Yes, it does.

I made a choice that I'll look back.

Do you remember

the time you scheduled me 48 hours
straight for duty and I was so punchy?

I couldn't even stand up straight. And
you wanted to go dancing?

You went to? Yes, I did.

You were the belle of the market street
ballroom that night.

I haven't danced since.

I never know it.

Dr. Sloan, well, the instruments are all
filled and sterilized. Oh, I can see

that. I just want to make sure
everything's perfect on our end.

No reflection on you, Judith. You're the
best.

Hey. Hey, how'd you like the roses?

They were beautiful.

Out of my garden.

Wow.

I wondered why you didn't call. Then I
find out you're operating on Cabot.

I really don't want to talk about this.
I do.

Just what the hell are you up to? I am
not up to anything.

Now, you don't belong here. This is a
surgical splint. Go.

I will call you later. I promise.

Hi.

Hi.

You're a lovely dancer.

Yes. We've forgotten a thing, haven't
we? No, we haven't.

I couldn't help noticing that argument
with the guy down in the hall.

all right?

That's a reporter.

What's he doing here in surgery?

Pressing me for an interview.

Told him he didn't belong here.

Let's see inside. I've got to scrub.

Jack?

Who was that reporter?

The guy in the dark suit?

Yeah. That's not a reporter. That's
Dennis Chapin. He's the assistant DA.

I thought I had a lot of runnings with
me.

Why? Uh, nothing. I think service was
taken.

Good luck, Doctor.

Okay, Senator.

There's a gap between the two beds.
Please slide on over. Bring your pillow

you.

Feel the edges of the new bed. It's
narrow.

Thank you.

I'm just going to get your arm out of
the sleeve.

Patience, Ronnie. Don't do anything.

Grandpa?

Patheter. Hemostatic sponge.

And

now...

We are home.

Scissors Scissors

Scissors

Damn it, nurse. What kind of operating
room are you running here? Sorry,

We are through.

So what you're saying is you don't know
what's wrong.

What I'm saying is your arrhythmia could
turn out to be coronary heart disease,

and we have to find out for sure.

That's why we got you on a 24 -hour
heart monitor. 24 -hour heart monitor.

You're just trying to keep me away from
the phone, that's all.

First of all, I want you to stay in that
bed.

Now, the nurse has told me that she's
caught you twice in the stairwell

cigars. And you believed her?

And I... Bernie, I'm going to keep you
alive in spite of yourself.

Code blue.

Stay calm, Bernie.

It looks like massive septicemia. He
went into shock and then rest.

I've never seen it hit so fast.

No, it's on the side.

Okay. Get back. Everybody clear.

The pathology lab confirms patient
morbidity resulted from staphylococcal

infection, the probable primary source
in the aorta and left ventricle of the

heart.

And the origin of the contamination?

Judging by how rapidly the infection
spread and the suddenness of onset after

surgery, the original staph
contamination must have taken place in

In other words, Dr. Bentley, Jackson
Cabot died from an infection he probably

picked up in the operating room?

That's the way it looks.

I'm so sorry, Judith.

I can imagine how you must feel.

You're saying this was my fault?

Well, I can understand you being upset.
What I'm trying to say is it could

happen to any one of us.

Why are you accusing me?

It's not my place to accuse anybody, but
if... If the sterile surgical

environment was compromised, and... It
was.

That is your responsibility, isn't it?

I am so sorry. I mean, perhaps I
shouldn't have said anything.

Rachel, I am the head of the standing
review board, and I'll investigate this

with an open mind, but I think it would
be better if none of us were too quick

to place any blame.

All the facts are in.

Judith,

you're the best nurse in this hospital,
and you didn't do anything.

Yeah, Dr. Sloan, you know what happens
to nurses who make mistakes in OR.

Well, other surgeons don't ask for you
anymore.

They ask for other nurses.

And pretty soon, you're out of a job.

This is Judith's reputation, Dad. I
know.

Don't worry about it. We'll get to the
bottom of this, and that is a promise.

Thank you.

Um, I'm still on duty, so... See you
later?

You bet.

So, how does this kind of infection
happen?

Well, there's either contamination in
the operating room or the surgeon's

infected. Everyone who was in that OR
was examined for staph after Cabot died,

including Dr. Walters. She wasn't
infected.

She couldn't have contaminated him.

Not unintentionally.

Well, what if she brought the infection
in deliberately?

Well, that's unimaginable. It's not
possible.

Steve, what you're suggesting is murder.

Dad, I'm a homicide cop.

Look, if the OR was clean and the
surgeon was clean, you're just going to

to look at the possibility that this
death wasn't accidental.

What are you going to do?

Well, it's my responsibility to
investigate all the possibilities, no

remote.

Let me know if you need any help.

And please, keep me posted on this, will
you? I'll call you.

See you.

Why would Dr.

Walters intentionally infect Jackson
Calf?

I don't believe it.

I don't know.

Dr. Sloan. Yes, I believe Mrs. Cabot is
expecting me. Cliff Rand.

I'm in charge of the Cabot security.

Come in. Thank you.

Dr. Sloan to see you, Mrs. Cabot.

How may I help you, Doctor?

I realize this is a terrible time for
you, Mrs. Cabot, but I am the head of

review board at the community general.
Let me see if I can simplify this for

you, doctor.

I have no intention of suing the
hospital.

Well, I'm sure the hospital will be very
pleased to hear that.

My husband's memory is very important to
me.

His desire to donate a pediatric wing to
your hospital.

I intend to see that his wish is
honored.

There's no reason why this tragedy
should undermine your hospital's fine

That's very gracious of you, Mrs. Cabot.

I'll write out a partial payment for the
gift, and then you can publicize it.

Here.

Have your pen.

Yes.

Actually, Mrs. Cabot, I came here to ask
a few questions regarding your husband.

Yes. Did either you or your husband know
Dr. Walters before the surgery?

No, actually, it would never matter.
Why?

Do you know of any reason anyone would
wish to harm your husband?

What are you suggesting, that it wasn't
an accident?

Oh, I'm not suggesting anything.

My husband was loved and respected by
all who know him.

No one in his past might have felt
differently.

Dr. Sloan.

My husband dedicated the last 20 years
of his life to philanthropic works.

That's how he'll be remembered.

I hope you respect that.

Oh, I do.

You understand I have to examine all the
possibilities.

Well, if there's nothing else.

Oh,

on behalf of the hospital, thank you.

I won't have it. Don't get hysterical,
Marilyn.

I will not allow anyone to ruin my
husband's reputation.

Look, you're in this too, you know. What
about this Macon man?

Where is he? This is his responsibility.
He's in the study. I told him we might

need some damage control.

Go and get him.

How did things go with Mrs. Cabot? Not
very well.

Sloan, did you tell Marilyn Cabot that
we think our husband's death was due to

foul play?

Uh, not really.

Why'd she call? You left her very
distressed.

Listen, before you get too anxious,
here's a check she wrote for the

wing. More to come.

Oh. Well, this is nice.

Try not to bother her further, all
right? All right.

Listen, I overheard Mrs. Cabot tell her
head of security to stop me from looking

into this.

How's he supposed to do that?

Some guy named, uh...

Macon is supposed to take care of that.

I took his address off his car
registration, 202 South La Paloma.

address. I'll open it, okay?

Okay. What has any of this got to do
with Rachel Walters?

That's something I'm hoping you'll help
me find out.

When I told your secretary I wanted to
cook you dinner, she gave me your spare

key and her recipe for meatloaf.

Why is everybody so surprised that I can
cook?

You can cook?

Oh, not you too.

Bristol told me Mrs. Cabot made a
sizable donation to the hospital. She

generous. They also told me you upset
her. Well, got a little awkward. What

happened? Well, I opened up the
possibility his death was not an

Surely, you don't think that Judith...
No, I don't.

Are you suggesting that... Marisa, I'm
not suggesting anything.

But you are investigating me.

Well, I wouldn't quite put it that way.
Well, I would.

I mean, I was the surgeon. That's your
job.

Do you have any questions?

That man you were talking to just before
cabbage surgery.

He wasn't a reporter.

That was Dennis Chapin, the assistant
district attorney.

Why'd you lie to me?

Because I was upset and I didn't want to
have to explain.

Dennis and I are friends from a long
time ago. He heard I was in town. He

to get together.

I didn't.

I'm afraid I was rude.

Is there anything else?

These are the records of the patients
Dr. Bissell offered you as candidates

cardiac surgery. Yes, there were 12 of
them. Yes, and of the 12, Jackson

prognosis was the worst.

Now, why would you pick the one patient
whose health was too poor for the

procedure?

You're not going to like my answer?

Rachel, I need to hear it.

Because he was famous.

I thought if I performed the procedure
on somebody famous, it would attract

attention.

You never struck me as the type to chase
the spotlight.

Not for myself.

For the program.

Mark, you know as well as I do that good
publicity attracts funding.

Now, I travel all over the country 15
times a year teaching my procedure.

I want to do it more.

So you thought that operating
successfully on a high -profile patient

bring more money into the program?

Yes. Yes, I did.

But now it seems that I've not only
jeopardized the program, I've

reputation as a surgeon.

I'm sorry I upset you.

Oh, you haven't upset me. I just think
under the circumstances, it's better for

both of us if I leave. Rachel, don't go.

No. Really, Mark, I think this is best
for both of us.

We've watched Cabot's catheterization a
dozen times, and I still can't see a

mistake.

Mark, I just can't believe that she
would do this.

Well, I certainly don't want to think
so.

You know what we need is a closer up
look. We need greater detail.

You think maybe we could get a blow up
of this?

I don't know. I'll do my best.

Oh, thank you.

See you later.

Dad, Judith's gone.

What do you mean gone?

We had a date. I went to her place and
this note was taped to her door.

The landlady says she packed up and left
this morning.

Dear Steve, I can't face the doctors and
nurses I work with knowing that they

think I'm guilty of negligence.

Please understand and love Judith.

I don't know where to start looking for
her.

It's obvious she's going to Cleveland.

It is?

Well, Steve, look. She's written it in
blue and yank.

All the handwriting slants to the right.
It has that faint odor of heliotrope.

That tells you she went to Cleveland?

No, but her mother lived there.

I'm sorry.

Look, I know you're worried about her,
but Judith is a very level -headed young

lady. And if she wanted to get away from
the pressure, I'm sure she went

someplace safe and familiar, right?

Home.

Thanks, Dad.

Where are you going?

I'm going to Cleveland phone book. I'm
going to call her. Oh, okay. Give her my

love.

Oh, and tell her everything's okay.

Nice kid.

Yes?

I'll be right there.

This is Andrea Balfour.

Andrea's a housekeeper over at the Crane
Hotel.

The assistant manager brought her in.

Now, since yesterday, she's had the
shakes, the chills, a rapid heart rate,

in blood pressure.

Mm -hmm.

Septicemia. Good you've got it on
antibiotics.

You're going to be all right.

Now, the big news is that the Crane
Hotel is where this hospital puts up its

guests, like Rachel Walters.

Now, Ms. Balfour claims that she cut her
hand and probably got the infection on

some broken glass when she was cleaning
a bathroom.

Rachel Walters' bathroom.

Mrs. Cabot, I just wanted to tell you
again how very sorry I am.

We know there were risks.

Is there anything that I can do?

Thank you. You're very kind.

I was wondering, uh, might I speak with
you privately?

Well, this isn't really a very good
time. It's about Dr. Sloan.

She went to my study.

May I speak to you confidentially?

Please do.

On behalf of the hospital,

I would like to apologize for Dr.
Sloan's behavior.

Dr. Bristol told me how he upset you.

Thank you. It's not really necessary,
but thank you.

Dr. Sloan is very loyal to Community
General.

He'll do almost anything to preserve the
hospital's reputation.

I gathered as much.

But I'm afraid.

Well, as crazy as it may seem, he's
determined to prove that someone wanted

harm your husband.

He just won't accept the fact that it's
negligence.

Can't you people stop him?

Well, I've tried.

Just won't listen to reason.

What did he ask you?

Well, for one thing, he asked if we'd
met you before. I can't imagine why.

May I make a suggestion?

Please.

Perhaps you should alert your staff not
to cooperate with Dr. Sloan.

He can be incredibly persistent.

Thank you for your concern. I appreciate
the advice.

I'd really better get back to my guest.

Dr. Sloan?

Mrs. Cameron, I'd like to... Dr. Sloan,
you're not welcome here.

But I just want to... I'm asking you to
leave.

Now.

Of course.

Do something about this.

Now it looks like Megan's going to hit
on the waitress.

How much longer are we going to trail
this guy?

We've been here... We've been here
almost an hour now.

Put a lid on it.

You're such a Dr. Walters fan, I'm
surprised you even came with me.

I just wanted to see for myself.

Have you got Shirley Beller's phone
number?

Shirley Beller?

Yeah. I'm not going up to that condo by
myself.

I cannot believe that you would take
Shirley Beller. Well, Amanda, you're

snob. I bet you believe all those rumors
about her, right?

It has nothing to do with the stories.
I'm not a snob.

It has everything to do... Another one?

Yeah, I'll have another club soda.
Nothing for me, okay?

One club soda?

How's it going, Trudy?

Can't complain.

Want me to complain for you?

You're too good to me, Mr. Macon.

Thank you.

Amanda,

why don't you go wait in the car?

I beg your pardon?

Well, the waitress obviously knows
Macon.

Maybe I can get some information from
her.

Make sure that's all you get from it.

Hey, you look like a lady in a hurry. I
am.

No time for a drink?

Not this time.

Got a minute?

Sure.

I was just shocked at the way Mrs. Cabot
treated you.

Tried to explain you were only doing
your job.

Oh, thank you.

That wasn't what I wanted to talk to you
about. Maybe you could help me.

This maid from your hotel came in
yesterday with a staph infection.

Oh, dear.

Is she all right?

Well, she told the head of housekeeping
that she cut her hand on some broken

glass in your bathroom.

Well, I better tell the hotel to
disinfect my bathroom. That could be

serious. Well, I've already had that
done after we examined the bathroom.

You examined my bathroom?

Well, I showed the maid this, and she
said it looked like the jar that was

broken.

The Petri dish.

I've completely forgotten.

She broke a jar of my hand lotion.

I guess the woman was still confused
when you showed her that dish.

Well, that would explain it.

Why would you show her a Petri dish?

I mean, did you think that I would be
carrying around contaminated goods?

No, I didn't assume you were.

It was just that the jar she described
sounded like a pink addiction.

Ah.

And you had to check out every
possibility.

That's the idea.

Phone message for you, Doctor.

Oh.

Excuse me, Mark.

I have a meeting with Dr. Keating in
anesthesiology.

You know, for what it's worth, I'm
trying awfully hard not to take this

personally.

So am I.

Nurse, is this Dr. Heating's day off?
That's right.

about this here. I made reservations at
the Zenith. Fine.

How long's he been here?

About a half hour.

Dad?

Dad!

Yeah, that's the tightest external.

Most people call it a swimmer's ear.

I'll tell you what, when you get out and
come by my office, I'll give you some

cortisone drops for that.

And in the meantime, don't wash that ear
for about three weeks.

I guess that's not a problem.

Hey, Steve!

This is my son.

All right, now remember, all you guys,
don't forget to come by the preclinic

a checkup as soon as you make bail,
okay?

All right, see you.

My accelerator was stuck.

You suppose somebody might have tampered
with it?

Oh, come on, Dad, your car was a mess
even before you wrecked it. Hey.

Besides, who would want to do something
like that?

Somebody that doesn't like my
investigation.

You talk to Judith?

Yeah. She sounds glad to be home for a
while. Of course, I was kind of hoping

she'd hear my voice and miss me so much
that she'd... Come back, huh? Well,

yeah. Look, Steve, this is a really bad
time for her. Be patient with her.

Oh, can you drop me to Xena Threshment?

Sure. Get in. Thanks.

Am I supposed to believe this death was
an accident?

You're well out of it, Dennis. Just
relax.

Rachel!

What a surprise.

My lunch date stood me up. I guess I'll
be eating alone today.

Well, why don't you join us?

Oh, no, I wouldn't want to intrude.

I'm finished, but I'd be happy to sit
with you. Well, great, thanks.

Say, you're Dennis Chapin.

I read about you. You're a terrific
prosecutor.

I don't believe we've met. Oh, I'm
sorry. Dr. Mark Sloan, old friend of

Rachel's. Oh, nice meeting you, doctor.

Well, I have to get back to the office,
so...

I'll call you.

Doctor.

Pleasure to meet you. Pleasure.

You're wondering why I lied to you about
my meeting with Dr. Keating.

Well, yes, I was.

Well, after you and I split up, Dennis
was my lover.

He's married. I was trying to be
discreet.

You know, Rachel, I've been puzzling
about that broken glass in your

The question that keeps coming to me is,
what if the maid wasn't mistaken?

And what's your answer?

Well, what if you brought in some
contaminated material to infect the

but the maid broke the jar and fouled up
your plans?

Well, even if that far -fetched theory
were true, I still couldn't have done

Unless you got some staff somewhere
else, like in the hospital.

If I wanted to do that, how would I? I
mean, I haven't been left alone for a

minute.

You could have slipped into the hospital
at night.

The security guard would have seen me.

No, he didn't. I checked.

You see,

you could have gotten in unobserved with
a passkey to the garage.

But I don't have one.

But Bristol does.

He told me that you borrowed his car the
night before Cabot's surgery.

The passkey is on his key ring.

But I went to the hotel.

The desk clerk doesn't remember you
asking for the key.

That's because I always carry it with
me.

And besides, even if I didn't go to the
hotel, it doesn't mean I went to the

hospital. That's true.

except maintenance had painted parking
lines in the hospital garage that night.

When I looked at Bristol's tires, they
had white paint on them.

That white paint could have come from
anywhere.

I'm afraid you don't have anything
conclusive, Mark.

It's true.

But I just keep flogging along.

Why would I want to kill Jackson Cabot?

I didn't even know the man.

It seems to me if you're going to kill
somebody, you should at least have a

motive. The Jackson cabinet was a
stranger.

Can't for the life of me imagine why you
would do such a thing.

For what it's worth, Mark, I know you're
only trying to do your job.

You can come to me any time.

And if you interrogate me sweetly, I'll
even throw this button up.

Nurse tells me you had a rapid pulse
rate this morning.

Yeah, I don't get it, Doc. I did
everything you asked. I left the monitor

never left the room.

Yeah.

Hey, Lou, what's the drill?

Listen, I can't talk to you now, but I
owe Johansson big time and... What do

mean you can't cover me?

Do you know who you're talking to here?

Sorry, Lou.

Doctor's orders.

The phone goes, Bernie.

Come on, Doc. I gotta raise money or
else this Johansson guy's gonna kill me.

He won't have to do anything to you if
you keep this up.

Where do I get a hold of this Johansson
guy? He owns an import company.

Johansson Imports.

Downtown. Why?

Well, I might be able to work something
out. That's not possible, Doc. It's just

not possible.

Well, I can try.

Meanwhile, pal, you're under quarantine.

I told him about your car. Getting
pretty serious, Mark. I'm fine.

Dad, may I speak to you for a moment?
Yeah, sure. Excuse us.

What's going on?

What's that?

I heard you needed some information on
an ex -cop named Macon.

I pulled this police jacket.

I'm not supposed to do that.

No, of course not.

And you lecture me about playing with
the rules. Come on, just take a look.

Now, what do you make of this, do you?

Your buddy Macon had a very important
friend.

A senator.

Can you get me a copy of this? Sure.

Thank you.

But get this back before you get caught.

Seems you're a little nervous when the
shoe's on the other foot, huh?

Bye, Dad.

So what's up with Pete?

Just a little fatherly advice.

Come on, we got work to do.

Hide there.

Change your mind about that drink?

Oh, we haven't got time for that now,
Mr. Macon.

Do I know you?

Not yet.

But I know somebody who's very
interested in talking to you.

But they make it worth your time.

I don't know.

My time's worth a lot.

Is it worth a hundred grand?

A what?

Why don't you take a ride and find out?

I'll go get the car.

Nice of you to drop by, Mr. Macon.

And just who might you be?

The name's McNeil. Perhaps you've heard
of me.

No, I haven't.

Well, obviously I've heard of you.

You're a very loyal man, Mr. Macon.

For a price.

And talented.

Princess, you know how to tamper with...
cars?

See you, McNeil. But you haven't heard
my artwork.

You've got some information worth a half
a million dollars, Mr. Macon.

You get me my money.

I'll give you a finder's fee.

Twenty percent.

That's $100 ,000, Mr. Macon.

What information?

It's about Jackson Cabot.

I don't know anybody named Cabot.

About a year ago, it was a very serious
hit -and -run accident.

The officer in charge didn't make an
arrest.

As a matter of fact, he closed the
files.

Two months later, that same officer left
the force and has been living very well

ever since.

You've been living very well, Mr. Macon.

Now, I happen to know the driver of that
car was Jackson Cabot.

Where did you get that?

Never mind how I know.

I know.

Well, you tell those people to pay me.

They get the information in this
envelope.

I keep quiet, you get 20%. We don't get
that $500 ,000, Mr. Macon.

We're going to have to go to the
National Informer.

They pay pretty well, too.

This way, nobody gets hurt.

I don't know what you're talking about.

You tell your people we'll be here for
an hour.

After that, they can read about it at
their supermarket.

How long did this McNeil say he'd be
there?

About an hour. We'll make it.

Well, confirms that part of the story.

You know, all we gotta do now is tie it
to Rachel Walters.

Yeah, that's all.

I suppose you're wondering what I'm
doing here.

As a matter of fact, it was.

I'm still exploring the theory... That I
murdered Cabot.

I'm trying to figure out how you could
have gotten some infected blood.

And how did I do it?

I'm not sure.

Let me show you what I'm playing with.

The patient who was here in 324 was the
only one in the hospital who was

recovering from staph infection.

So let's say it's the night.

You've used Bristol's keys to slip into
the hospital.

But you can't get to 324 without being
seen by the night nurse.

So what did I do?

In this room, this gentleman's call
button was pushed, which caused the

come in.

Which, according to my stopwatch, gave
you time to sneak into 324, draw some

tainted blood, and get out.

Well, how do you know the patient didn't
push the call button himself?

Well, for one thing, he was asleep.

Maybe he bumped into it during the
night. They often do.

This man is recovering from a stroke.

His right arm is paralyzed.

He couldn't have.

Perhaps the unit malfunctioned. No. No.
I had it checked.

No. Someone drew blood that night from
the patient at 324.

The day nurse noticed a bruise where the
needle had punctured the skin.

See, somebody in the dark, in a hurry,
could have done that.

Possible.

But very hypothetical.

I know.

Fascinating.

But... I have to go.

You will keep me posted, won't you? Yes,
I will.

Mr. and Mrs.

Smith.

Smythe. And we'd like a room with a
view.

Something up high. She likes height.

Maybe something on the ninth floor.

And it's got to be an odd number.

She thinks odd numbers are sexy.

Um, excuse me just a minute.

Mark would never approve of this.

That's why I didn't tell Mark.

I do this by myself, you know. I have
909 available.

Lower.

907 is being made up.

A little lower.

903.

Sold.

Fine. Get you a room key.

Thank you.

Someday you'll suffer for this.

Someday soon?

All right.

903.

Behind this door is Rachel Walters'
room.

Jack, was your family really as crooked
as these families?

Well, let's put it this way.

My Uncle Les taught me how to do this
when I was a kid.

Last time I spoke with Uncle Les, he was
on the other side of a glass wall, and

I had to use a telephone.

Hey, look at this.

Shove over.

Any messages for me? Yes, there are, Dr.
Walters.

Hurry up.

I'm trying. There's two combination
locks on either side.

There's one.

You know what, Jack?

I'm really glad that you're taking
Shirley Bailey this weekend.

Me too.

I mean, it just proves to me what you
had in mind all along.

Well, with Shirley, I don't have much
choice, do I?

Come.

Jack, leave it alone. Let's go.

All right.

Hang on. I got the second one.

Oh, man.

Look at the entries in this checkbook.

I really didn't want to believe that you
were involved in it.

I know.

Sorry to give you a hard time about it.

That's okay.

Thanks.

She's coming.

Knock, knock.

Hi, you two.

What have you been up to?

A little research.

I've been going over and over the blog
of this operation. I can't catch

out of the ordinary.

Jack, I'll tell you what.

Order me a copy of the tape of the
operation she did in New York last week.

I'd like to compare the two of them.

You look guilty.

Are you guilty?

Um...

Well, we have something for you. We went
through Rachel's checkbook and found

something we think is pretty important.

You went through Rachel's checkbook? How
did you manage that?

Mark, don't even ask. We'll all be a lot
happier. The thing is that Rachel has

been writing checks to Dennis Chapin for
$2 ,000 a month.

$2 ,000 a month to Chapin?

Do you think that Rachel's paying Chapin
off for something?

I would sure like to know.

Is Mr. Chapin in? No, but I am expecting
him back for a meeting. They're going

to tow his car. What?

Well, he's blocked Judge Henry's car in,
and the judge already called the tow

company. You better come talk to them.
Maybe I better.

Who's Judge Henry?

You know, Judge Henry's a real tall guy.

Buzz me if you see Chapin.

Mr. Chapin?

I'm sorry I'm early. Your secretary said
I could wait in here.

Well, nothing wrong with being early.

What can we do for you?

As I told you in my letter, the
Department of Water and Power is a

corruption.

No pun intended.

And I'm ready to blow the whistle.

Are you listening?

Oh, yes, absolutely.

Please, go on.

I can prove with these records, which
I've cross -referenced, that several top

employees have embezzled over $3 million
in the last four years.

Have I come at a bad time?

No, no, this is fascinating. Please, go
on.

What I've got here, I think we can
expose not only the DWP, but the city

controller and at least seven members of
his staff.

Anything else?

Well, I can also prove payoffs to four
state senators, a sixth assemblyman, and

the lieutenant governor.

Interesting.

Ah, hear me.

Be right back.

If you're looking for Mr. Chapin, he
said he'd be right back.

Rachel wrote a check every month to
Dennis Chapin for $2 ,000.

Then Dennis Chapin would write a check
to the Sunrise Institute for $2 ,000.

Okay, what's the Sunrise Institute?

And why is it a connection between
Rachel and Jackson Cabot? I don't

I don't know. Dad, I've got something
you're going to like.

This is the late Senator Cabot's car.

This is it.

We give them their rights.

I know my rights. I want to speak to my
attorney.

So will Mrs. Cabot.

Anything in your pocket, sir?

Give me a minute with her.

Hands on your back.

My son's a police officer, Mrs. Cabot.

How nice for you.

He's been doing some checking for me.

He found two...

Very interesting people.

Well, I'm not up to meeting interesting
people right now.

One was a mechanic who identified your
husband's car as the one he repaired the

day after the hit and run.

The other's a woman, the only witness to
the accident, the witness your man

Macon told didn't need to testify.

Now both are going to testify at your
trial.

for covering up your husband's crime.

Well, Dr.

Sloan.

You must be very proud of your son.

Yes, I am.

Do you know anything about the Sunrise
Institute?

No. You're quite sure about that, Mrs.
Cabot?

I've never heard of it, and you have my
word on that.

Thank you.

Dr. Sloan, if you hadn't been so
persistent, we'd all be better off.

Think about that.

I wonder why Dennis Chapin would send
Rachel Walters money here.

I hope they have a room with a view.

I'm Sharon Marshall, the Institute
Administrative Assistant.

How may I help you?

Oh, I don't know.

Buck up, Dad. You're doing the right
thing. I hope so.

My father, Mr. Sloan, is looking to find
a permanent residence.

I'm 80.

I mean, I'm... I understand.

You want to be certain your father is in
comfortable, pleasant surroundings

where he'll receive the very best care.

Could I see one of the rooms?

Oh, certainly.

Dad, it's your decision. Why don't you
go ahead? I'll wait here for you. All

right. If you'll just follow me. Thank
you.

Oh, it's lovely.

Just lovely.

Then you'll be considering the Sunrise
Institute for your needs.

Well, what are your aerobics classes?

Aerobics classes?

Dancing?

Dancing's good for my joints.

Well, dance classes.

Well, how about jogging?

Do you jog?

You know, perhaps I'm a little lively
for your facility here.

We've taken up enough of your very
valuable time. We really ought to be

on. Dad.

Well, if your father ever needs a more
sedate environment, we're here to serve

you. Thank you. I'll remember that.
You've been very kind.

Dad. The person that Dennis Chapin and
Dr. Walters are

supporting is Catherine Moore. She's in
room 207.

That's upstairs.

She's as beautiful as her mother.

Her name is Catherine.

She was a straight A student at Columbia
studying medicine.

She can believe that.

She didn't even know I existed.

Is the coma reversible?

She's had massive brain trauma.

Dennis is her father.

He was married when I met him.

I know I didn't love him, but... I

was missing you.

When I first got pregnant, I had this
fantasy that

I would have the baby and I would raise
her and we'd be

a family.

So sorry you didn't have that chance.

No.

I wanted a baby because I was lonely.

Because there was no love in my life and
I thought a baby would make up for all

that.

When I realized that I wanted a baby for
all the wrong reasons.

I did the one unselfish act of my life.

I placed it for adoption with a family
that wanted a baby simply to love her.

And they did.

And she loved them.

But I could never let go.

I used to drive by their house.

Hope I get a glimpse of her.

Sometimes I was lucky.

To be playing out in the yard.

And I thought, well, remember, this was
my fantasy.

That one day I would open the door and
she would be there.

And she would say, I've been looking for
you, Mother.

That I would take her in my arms.

Well,

that'll never happen.

Thanks to Jackson Cabot and his drunken
hit and run.

He killed her adoptive parents.

He destroyed my daughter.

And he drove off and he never looked
back.

He left them to die.

Can't imagine the heartache you've been
through.

And then Jackson Cabot covered up what
he did.

He was a powerful man, Mark. He could do
that.

Dennis found out that he was too afraid
of Cabot to do anything.

So, when you were invited to Community
General and Jackson Cabot was offered as

a patient for surgery, you accepted and
you killed him.

He took your daughter's life.

You took his.

Yes, I did.

And I would do it again.

I'm trying to understand the pain that
must have driven you to this.

My God, Rachel, you committed murder.

And you'll never be able to prove it.

I don't see anything.

How you doing?

Serious eye strain.

The tape of her doing the procedure in
New York is showing us really nothing at

all.

At least not the last six times that
we've watched it.

There.

Look, she finished the procedure. I
don't notice any difference between the

Well, the rest of the bad news is she's
leaving today.

Hey.

Hey, look at that.

Look at what?

Of course, we've been paying attention
to what she did during the procedure.

We haven't paid any attention to what
she did when she was finished.

So when is your flight?

Eight o 'clock tonight.

Dr. Bristol, have you seen Dr. Sloan?
No, I haven't. One of his patients has

just gone into a severe arrhythmia.
Where is he?

Cardiovascular. I'm on it.

Nurse?

Hey.

Hey, you look very familiar. Do I know
you?

Lie still and be quiet.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember.

You were on the back stairs the other
night.

Relax. You're going to be fine.

Ten cc's of scopolamine. I really want
him out.

Get him ready for surgery in 20 minutes.
I'll be scrubbing. I want him in OR7.

But he's Dr. Sloan's patient.

He's not going to be anybody's patient
if you don't get him ready soon.

Help him.

Okay.

That's it.

The patient needed a pacemaker.

He was suffering from severe arrhythmia.
Lucky I was here.

Retractor. The nurse said Bernie
recognized you.

Clamp. Clamp. He saw you in the hospital
that night.

Sponge.

Sponge. Rachel, listen to me. Dr. Sloan,
conversation in the OR interferes with

my concentration.

This is not Jackson Cabot. This man does
not deserve to die.

Don't do it, Rachel.

I told you, doctor.

Pulse is dropping.

Pressure's dropping.

Rachel.

Okay, let's go, let's go, let's go,
let's go, let's go.

Help me, Mark.

Right here.

Nope, nope, defib, let's go. Paddle,
paddle.

Power.

Okay, clear.

Again.

Clear.

Again.

Clear.

Nice rhythm.

Good, in fact.

Good, everybody.

When you're finished here, I have
something to show you.

Let's close.

I finally figured out how you did it
after I watched the blow -ups of the

operation tapes.

I was looking for something
sophisticated.

Something highly technical.

But quite simple.

Here's how you did it.

This is how you switch the clean sponge
for the contaminated one.

Simple sleight of hand.

Very clever.

For as far as it goes.

Well, after I realized it's just
speculation.

It doesn't go far enough. But this, I
think.

This is the tape of the procedure you
did in New York last week.

What?

Before you leave the room, you remove
your surgical gloves and you toss them

the waste can.

So? But, when you did the Cabot
procedure, you

take off your gloves, roll them into a
ball,

and toss them in the waste can.

What exactly does that prove?

That's how you got rid of the
contaminated sponge.

It was inside the rolled -up gloves.

That's going to be difficult to prove.

Oh, I don't think so.

We've contacted the disposal company.
We've impounded the waste cans. Two men

are going through them right now.

We'll find your gloves.

I can't prove they're mine.

Funny thing about surgical gloves.

Your fingerprints are always inside
them.

Over radio.

Hey, Jack.

Ready for your big weekend away?

No, Shirley canceled on me. I gotta
work.

Aw, gee, that's too bad.

You're working too, right?

No, I'm using Gary's condo this weekend.

What? Yeah, well, Shirley and I decided
it'd be fun to go hiking, camping, eat

granola. See you Monday.

You're kidding.

Well, don't imagine I can buy you
dinner.

No, I'm sorry. I'm having dinner with
Steve.

Or maybe not.

Hey, Dad. Hi.

Judith just got back. Great.

And you two are having dinner together.

Do you mind?

No. Go have a good time.

Later. Bye.

I can't thank you enough for what you
did.

You just did.

I'll buy dinner.

Good. We'll grab a bite at Luigi's.
We'll go over to my place afterwards.

watch a replay of the Raiders game.
Sound good?

Just great.

Me neither.
