All language subtitles for Diagnosis Murder s03e14 The Murder Trade

A lot of different ways to kill someone.

I mean... I mean, kill them efficiently.

Some prefer the .22 to the back of the
head.

Close range. Now, that requires some
privacy.

And then some, some prefer the ice pick
to the ear.

While the subject is still in his car,
even...

Even in a darkened theater.

Using a knife, now that can be difficult
and potentially very, very messy.

There's always a lot of blood around.

And let's face it, you really have to be
something of an expert on anatomy to do

it quickly and cleanly.

Poison.

Boy, then that's not bad, as long as
it's not easily traceable.

How you do it, Doctor?

That's up to you.

Me, I'm just trying to be helpful.

But since you need that insurance money
to pay my people, I'd come up with a

plan.

And soon.

Like... like by Monday.

Otherwise, Doctor...

You're

going to be on the end of some real
expertise.

Thanks for letting me stretch out,
Doctor. I

appreciate that.

I really haven't been sleeping a lot
lately. I've been having all these

dreams.

Doctor, if everything works out okay for
you, you mind if I come back and talk

to you about it?

Oh, Doctor.

You look a little warm.

Monday.

Cancel the rest of my appointments
today.

Thank you.

Just how do you propose to pay for these
services, Dr. Sloan?

Well, Ms. McArthur, I don't pretend to
have any magical solutions to these

problems. I'm sure we'd all agree that
we could be more efficient, certainly.

But I do seriously feel that we should
look for alternative resources for our

patients without insurance, most
definitely.

And also, it could be that some of the
senior staff members, myself included,

could either accept deferrals or
possibly just reduce our compensation.

I know, of course, that you're supposed
to be an expert on downsizing. The one

thing I don't think we can do is
downsize our responsibility to provide

care for this community.

Well, this is all very noble of you, Dr.
Sloan, but the board of this hospital

has empowered me to enforce economies
and...

That's what I intend to do.

Well, I don't think you can expect the
staff to stand quietly by.

Now, I have substantial documentation.

I don't much care what you have, Doctor.
I've heard enough. Now, we have serious

business to conduct here.

The preservation of this hospital is
serious business. And this kind of

-minded arrogance does not solve the
problem. As a matter of fact, it is the

problem.

You really want to help us streamline
this place?

Yes, as long as it doesn't harm the
quality of our care.

How would you feel...

About early retirement for senior staff.

As long as the senior staff member
agreed to it and it didn't reduce our

capability, I wouldn't oppose it.

I am so glad that we have found some
basis for agreement, Doctor.

I was specifically thinking of you.

Why was I chosen for this honor?

Dr. Sloan.

In this fiscal year, you have ordered 17
% more CAT scans and MRIs than any

other attending physician.

I order only those tests which I think
my patients need. You routinely refer

your patients to specialists.

No, no, there's nothing routine about my
referrals. I treat each patient as an

individual. Maybe you just don't trust
your own judgment. As far as I'm

concerned, you are wasteful,
inefficient, and non -cooperative. And

you are fast becoming irrelevant.

Why, because I treat my patients like
human beings?

Step aside for the future, Dr. Sloan.

Where you're going, there is no future.
You can't cut back on people's right to

help. You are the problem. If you do not
accept our retirement package, we won't

renew your contract, which expires in
exactly 27 days.

Either way, you're out of here, Doctor.

Maybe I am, but I just wish I could take
you with me.

It's not a threat, Doctor. I don't make
threats.

Neither do I. The day your contract
expires, I want you out of this

Well, she can't do that, can she? I'm
afraid she can't. You ought to call an

attorney about this. I went to the
hospital council yesterday.

She has the authority.

Well, this is terrible. There must be
something that we can do.

Yeah, I'd make her an offer she can't
refuse.

Mind some company?

No, not at all. I'm not up to a run.

All right.

You're Mark Sloan, aren't you?

Yes, that's right.

We met?

No, I don't think so, but I heard what
happened at the hospital this morning.

I'm really sorry.

Bad news. That was bad. Well,
everybody's talking about it.

You must be furious.

Well, I suppose she's just doing what
she was hired to do. Oh, come on. Don't

so gutless.

I mean, you must be angry.

Well, I wouldn't exactly rule that out.
I would think not. A man of your

experience being rejected like that.

Suddenly losing everything you care
about in life.

If I was you, I'd want to kill her.

I'm not quite that angry.

Well, I would be.

Do you live around here?

No, no. I'm just here for the day.

What was your name again? I didn't tell
you my name, Dr. Sloan, but maybe

sometime I will. If we help each other.

I'm sorry, help each other?

I know that you would love to get rid of
this Marsha MacArthur.

Get your life and your dignity back.

I know that. I have a similar situation.

Just exactly what are you suggesting?

A little back -scratching, Doctor.

And don't think for a moment that you're
not up to it, because I know you are.

Who are you?

I'm your dream come true, Doctor.

Hey!

Got it?

I can't see anything. Get over the line.

Yes, you can.

Fire you just like that after all these
years, can't you? Well, there's no law

that says the hospital has to give me a
new contract.

Great.

Okay. There. Now you feel better? I feel
better when I get home and can get out

of this. Listen, you'll have a good
time.

Dance a little tango with Cindy for me.

Tango?

Something. Come on, Dad.

Remember to lock all your doors in case
this new friend of yours decides to come

back. Don't worry. I'll be careful.

And if he does show up, page me, will
you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Have a good time.

Bye -bye.

Hello?

Dr. Sloan, this is Marcia MacArthur.

Yes?

Dr. Sloan, I need to see you right away.

What about?

have to discuss this in person. It's
about community general.

I don't think we have anything to talk
about.

No, doctor, please. This is very
important.

I need to see you at once.

All right. I can meet you at the
hospital in 20 minutes. All right.

No, no, not there.

335 South Elmore, the park.

20 minutes.

Very nice.

you

Sorry, I thought you were burglars.

Scared us half to death.

With that duck down there.

You know, we've been calling to check up
on you and you haven't been answering

your phone. I went out.

By yourself?

No, actually, I got a call from Marsha
MacArthur.

Very strange.

She asked me to meet her somewhere and
then she didn't show up.

Well, what does she want with you?

I don't know.

There's something about the hospital.
Very mysterious.

Then I got home. This back door was
standing open. I'm sure I lost it, but I

could have forgotten.

Then I heard a noise.

What are you doing home so early? You go
to a retirement party with a lot of

homicide cops, you hear a lot about
homicide.

I'm just getting up in the dance floor
with Cindy, and this clown grabs the mic

and says as long as Jake's retiring,
he's going to show them the nightly

homicides he's missing.

When police arrived, they found Ms.
MacArthur's body hidden behind some

underbrush. Officers on the scene tell
us it appears she was slashed repeatedly

in what appears to be a very
professional murder.

Sheila Alcott, Channel 6 News.

Steve, I'll bet it's him. Who?

Very strange man I met on the beach. He
said he knew I would be glad to get rid

of Marcia MacArthur.

You think he killed her to do you a
favor?

Just who is this guy?

So I thought she stood me up. I went
home. That's fascinating.

I mean, I have never heard anything
remotely like that before.

Lieutenant, I have a very bad feeling
the killer made her call before he

murdered her.

And you think it was this strange guy
who did it?

Oh, yeah.

Bizarre, isn't it?

What do you think I should do?

Wait and see if this guy contacts you
again.

All right. Well, listen, I don't want to
keep you.

Thanks for coming in.

It was a real pleasure to meet you. You
know, I read up on all the work you did

with this department.

It's outstanding.

Oh, reading up on me, huh?

Well, I mean, once I heard you were
involved in the case.

Oh, oh, I see.

Well, if there's nothing else, I'll be
going.

Okay. Oh, you know what? Actually, one
more thing.

When Marcia MacArthur didn't show up,
did you try to call her? I didn't have

number. Well, that would explain why you
didn't leave a message on her machine

then. Is that a problem?

No, no, I don't have a problem.

I... I cannot imagine you killing this
woman, you know, just to get your job

back.

Even though now you have.

Sorry, I didn't mean to bring that up.

Makes me feel like such a cop, you know.

I think so.

How are we doing?

Yeah, we're cool here.

You got a great son here, Doc.

Learned a lot from him.

Hey, did you see this weird guy, Steve?

No. I would have been...

Great if you had.

My word's not good enough?

Of course it is.

Just that Steve's such a great cop.

You know, probably would have busted
this guy by now.

Do you have any suspects?

Uh, besides your dad?

Just kidding.

No, not a thing.

Well, keep me posted, will you?

Absolutely. I'll see you guys later.

You know something?

I think I did it.

Well, don't let him get to you. He's
very ambitious.

He's only a lieutenant. He's got his own
office.

I've got to get to a briefing. I'll see
you at home.

Hello? Did the police believe you?

Why wouldn't they?

You killed Marshal MacArthur, didn't
you?

Calm down. Things are going great.

Calm down.

Who are you, anyway?

In due time.

Just a little precaution until we get to
know each other better.

Well, we did it. The perfect murder.

Eventually, the police will decide that
Marsha MacArthur was a victim of random

violence in Elmore Park with no
connection to you.

You called me to the park. Isn't that a
connection? No, that's insurance.

To make sure you cooperate with the rest
of our plan.

And if I don't?

Then I'll incriminate you further.

How's that?

So far, the police have nothing tying
you directly to her murder. I'll see

they get it if you don't do as I say. Do
you understand?

Now listen.

Like you, there was someone in my life
who was a great problem to me. Do you

understand me, Doctor?

I committed your murder. Now you commit
mine.

You seriously think I'm going to kill
someone?

Yes, I do.

I can't do that.

You will.

Or I'll see that you're convicted of
killing Marsha MacArthur.

Well, I have to know more about it.
Where can I reach you?

I'll call you with further instructions.
The light's changed.

Drive carefully, Doctor. I wouldn't want
anything happening to you.

Lieutenant Kincaid wasn't very
impressed.

He kept saying what a great guy you
were, but he'd sure like something more

tangible. Well, why should he believe I
talked to this guy? Or that he exists,

for that matter.

Recording his call should help.

Get us patched into the department so we
should be able to trace it.

Mark Sloan.

Hello, Doctor.

How are things in Malibu?

Just fine.

Ready to talk?

I think so.

Go to the pay phone across from...

Exactly five minutes.

Well, that figure, he's not going to let
us trace it.

I haven't got enough hair to take to
Kincaid.

He's going to be watching, so you're
going to have to go alone.

Hello. Hello, Doctor.

You ready to go ahead?

You said this would be easy.

Then you'll do it.

How do I know I can trust you?

How do I know you won't frame me for
Parsons Burger anyway?

The beauty of this plan is that if one
goes down, so does the other.

Are you ready for the details?

Go ahead. Go to the Somerset Hotel in
Santa Monica.

Nine o 'clock at night, wait in the
lobby for my call.

Then bring a syringe of something deadly
and untraceable.

All we have to do is find out who the
intended victim is and find out who this

guy is.

He's going to be watching, so try and
look like you're alone.

Oh, I'm sorry.

You're the guy that didn't want to
shave. Gives me a rash.

These microphones are so small. What
happened to those other mics?

It's a new model. It's got much greater
range.

How much greater?

Oh, well, half a mile.

A half a mile? Where are you going to
be?

I'll be close enough, okay? Don't worry
about it.

This is cold.

Next time I'll put them in a toaster.

All right, let's test this thing.

Dad.

Sorry, I told you it was cold.

All right, say something.

What did I say?

Anything, just say something.

Help.

What?

You just... I heard you. Don't worry,
all right? It's going to be fine.

Sure.

Help, help, help.

Did you say something?

Oh, is this work?

Can you hear me?

Mayday.

Just kidding.

Don't worry about it, all right? It's
going to work. It'll work.

See anything yet

Yes,

if

you think I'm late your watch is wrong
I'm never late

You said this would be easy.

Nothing could be easier. Now listen.

Go to room 1110.

There's a woman inside, asleep.

Give her the injection and go out
through the rear exit.

Room 1110.

He can see me in here. He must be
outside.

We're pushing the room.

The door's been slightly ajar.

I'm going in.

There's a girl across the bed.

Let's see if she's all right.

Oh!

Wait, I can explain.

Wait a minute.

Where's the other guy? What other guy?
The guy that brought me in here.

Look, I don't know what you two are
into, okay, but I don't go for it. Take

easy. I'm a police officer.

He's got a good right.

What the hell is going on here?

You first.

Um, okay.

Some guy comes up to me outside of the
bar next door and wants some company.

Look, he said he was married, so he had
me rent the room. I do. I come up here,

he puts something over my face, and I
pass out.

Clear for him, probably.

This was a death.

And you blew it.

Bye, Doctor.

Is

this

the guy you described as the scat
chartist, Ginger?

Yep, that's him.

So am I being charged here or what?

We don't have any direct evidence of
solicitation, if that's what you mean.

But we do need your help in an ongoing
investigation.

Of what?

The guy that hired you.

Oh, come on. Look, I have told you guys
at least twice, okay? I don't know this

guy. I didn't get his name, and I told
you what he looked like. So that's it

me, okay?

You know, I was going over your rap
sheet here.

Seems like you're an old acquaintance of
Sergeant Aldridge down at Metro.

Yeah, I guess you could say we know each
other.

Mm -hmm.

Considering the amount of times he
busted you, I'd say that was a major

understatement. You know, I really don't
have anything else to say, so I'm

leaving. Not quite yet, Jen. Here, sit
down.

Man, why are you guys hassling me?

I'm not hassling you.

If I decide you're not being
cooperative, then maybe I'll hassle you.

Look, I talked to Sergeant Aldridge.

He said he always called you the girl
with something extra.

Yeah, well, he's a real riot.

Aldridge said he called you that
because, uh...

Every time you were with the John, you
walked away with something.

Mind if I look in here?

Yes, I might. Oh, I'm sorry.

Let me put that back for you.

Boy, look at that.

Everything but the home shopping
channel.

Why don't you just tell me which one of
these credit cards you lifted from this

guy?

Man.

You know, after the way he treated me,
he had it coming.

Thank you.

You can go.

And I'll return the rest of these for
you.

Thanks.

Alice?

Dr. Trent, Mr.

Christopher's waiting for you on the
patio. He didn't have an appointment,

insisted on seeing you.

That's all right. That's all right.
Thank you.

Are you familiar with the word
emphysema?

If you'd like, I could tell you what
that'll do to your lungs.

I like it.

Even if it could kill you?

That's not a sure thing.

People smoke all their lives, live till
90, die in their sleep.

You're a gambler.

Only when the odds are right.

See, you could gamble that the people I
work for are gonna wait for their money,

but you'd be wrong.

See, you'd lose.

That's a sure thing.

I'm getting the money. That should be
enough.

Oh, it is for me.

But you know the people I work for, they
don't trust anyone.

Personally, I don't think that's any way
to live, but then again, I'm just paid

to do a job.

And part of my job is to see to it that
you don't leave town prematurely.

Well, I wouldn't do that.

That's what I told them.

It's going to be taken care of tonight.

Excellent.

You know, I think we'll both be relieved
when this is all over.

Put that out for me, would you?

Guy walking out the door is Jimmy
Christopher.

Very bad boy from Las Vegas.

Here, take a look.

What would Christopher want with Trent?

Christopher's in the collection end of
the loan sharking business.

He's paying visits. He's turning up the
heat on somebody.

Trent's motive for murder was money. I
certainly wouldn't rule that out.

If Christopher's breathing down his
neck, he must need money pretty bad.

I've got a friend who works down at the
credit union who ran a check on your Dr.

Trent. Turns out he's got a lot of
outstanding bills and all his credit

have been maxed out.

We should start looking at life
insurance policies on a wife or an ex

Never been married and he's got no known
relatives in the state.

I don't know who he wants to kill, but
we better find out sooner or there's

going to be another murder.

Shall I call security, doctor?

No.

No, thank you, Alice.

Why don't you mail those letters that I
gave you earlier?

Yes, sir.

Were you really going to let me kill
that girl just as a test?

Well, what's one more prostitute, more
or less?

You are a sick man, Trent. You need
help.

Your eyes are dilated. Your skin's
clammy. What kind of drugs are you on?

We don't have anything more to talk
about, Dr. Sloan. Why don't you just

And let you kill someone else?

Let's not get moralistic now, shall we?

Ms. MacArthur's removal benefited a
great many people, including you.

I'm just gonna lift another burden,
that's all, and there's nothing you can

about it, so just go back to your
hospital and heal all those poor sick

you see here.

So fond of.

You're more than sick. You're twisted,
Trent.

Who are you to think you can handle life
and death like that? I'm going to let

you get away with it. I'll do
whatever... What is going on, Alice? Who

I'm a police officer.

Good, good. That's good. You can escort
this man out of the building. He forced

his way in here and he's threatening me
with bodily harm. I'm also his son.

Well, you have my deepest sympathy. Your
father is delusional and in need of

psychiatric evaluation.

I suggest you take him to any local
facility for further diagnosis.

In any case, get him out of my office.

I'm not through here yet. Dad, let's go.

I'll see you later.

Anything interesting?

Yeah, a couple of things.

Hurry up, will you, before he misses it.
Hurry.

May I help you?

No, thank you. We just helped ourselves.

Alice, have you seen my appointment
book?

Oh, um, here.

You know what I still can't figure out
is why he picked me. What would make him

think I'd commit a crime for him?

I don't know, but with those symptoms of
drug abuse, maybe he's just not

thinking clearly.

Well, for a man who's not thinking
clearly, he's pretty diabolical.

Why me?

Hi, guys.

Hi. Hi.

What do you got?

It was everything we put together on
Trent.

Nothing too incriminating in here.

No felonies. Not even an outstanding
traffic warrant.

What did Kincaid say?

Said I didn't have enough for a search
warrant and that he was not impressed

with these pictures of Christopher and
Trent. Which one's Trent?

That one.

What about staking out Trent?

Kincaid said that he couldn't spare the
men on pure speculation.

Oh, that's just wonderful. We have a
woman whose life is in danger. We can't

anything about it? I went through those
notes he made about his appointments and

I found one thing and it's not very
interesting and it's probably useless.

What is it? Well, Trent indicated an
appointment...

With a Dr.

Jeffrey Loomis. Now, I called Dr.
Loomis' office and told him that I was

transsistent. Apparently, he never had a
one o 'clock appointment.

Well, maybe he made a mistake in his
appointment schedule.

No, Trent wouldn't make that kind of a
mistake.

What's Loomis' specialty?

He's an endocrinologist.

Maybe he went under another name. Why
would he do that?

I don't have any idea.

But it's worth checking out, I think.

I can't very well call Loomis up and ask
him about his patients.

And I can't follow Trent to Loomis'
office. He knows me. And me.

But not me.

And not me.

Hi. Hello.

Dr. Travis and Dr. Livingston to see Dr.
Loomis. Do you have an appointment?

Dr. Trent's office didn't call to tell
you that we were coming.

No, no one told me you were coming.
Who's Dr. Trent?

I'm not surprised. Are you? Oh, not at
all.

Maybe you have the wrong offer.

Thank you.

Wasn't that Dr. Trent?

No, it wasn't. Now, if you'll please
take your seat, I'll tell Dr. Loomis

here. Honey, this is an emergency, and
we need to speak to Dr. Loomis

immediately.

Dr. Loomis, could you come out here for
a moment, please?

Thank you. Thank you.

I'm Dr. Loomis.

Hi, Dr. Travis and Dr. Livingston. We're
from Community General.

May we have a word with you in private?

Uh, what's this about?

The gentleman that just left, that was
Dr.

Ronald Trent.

He said his name is Maxwell.

One of the reasons why we're
investigating him.

Can I see some identification?

Sure.

Has he been a patient for long?

No, this is the first time. Why is the
hospital investigating him?

We'd rather not get into that right now.
Yeah, not until we get all the facts.

Be right with you, Mr. Peters.

Okay.

Why don't you come inside?

Did you notice anything odd about him?

Well, actually, he had a couple of
rather vague complaints.

He didn't want a thorough exam. Then he
said he felt better, and he left.

I wonder what he would want in here.

Was he by himself at all?

Yeah, for a few minutes.

Did you notice anything missing, Doc?
Anything at all?

Well, that's very odd.

There are two vials of insulin missing,
and they were here this morning.

Trent took a whopping load of insulin
and a bottle of chloroform from Lewis.

Taken alone, all at once, that insulin
would kill you. Why didn't he just get

the insulin himself? Trent has a Ph .D.
in psychotherapy. He's not a medical

doctor. That ought to get Kincaid's
attention.

Say,

Phil, you seen Kincaid?

Oh, yeah.

Where is he? Your place.

Now, what are you thinking?

Hey.

All right, who got the search warrant?

I guess that would be me.

Why wasn't I notified?

Oh, gee, Steve, I'm sorry. I thought
somebody called you.

Why are you here?

Well, the darndest thing happened.

Somebody found the murder weapon in the
park.

What does that have to do with me?

That's my question exactly.

It's a very unique weapon.

The weapon is an ivory -handled scalpel.

Look what's carved on the handle here.
Arthur Conan Doyle.

Now, that's a pretty unique weapon.

It's mine. Your mother gave it to me for
my birthday.

He knows it's yours or he wouldn't be
here.

Now, Doc, do you have any idea how this
got to be in the park?

You just happened to find that after all
this time?

Or did you get a convenient anonymous
tip?

It doesn't matter, does it?

Now, why would this be in the park,
Doctor?

Ronald Trent took it from here,
obviously.

Ah.

When he murdered Marsha MacArthur.
That's right. Were there any prints on

knife?

Steve, I would not expect a doctor who's
got access to the surgical glove to

make a print. All right, that's enough.

If you're going to arrest him, read him
his rights so we can call an attorney.

I'll make my arrest when I'm ready.

You know the drill, Steve. Dad shouldn't
leave town.

We'll all hope for the best, Doc.

Trent is framing me for her murder.

And that idiot Kincaid's buying it.

Has Steve talked to a judge yet? He
talked to a judge that told him he

have enough evidence to search Trent's
home or office.

Well, maybe he won't commit the murder
after all, now that he knows that you're

on to him. No, he's under too much
pressure from those loan sharks.

And I don't think he would have stolen
that insulin if he wasn't going to go

ahead. Hey, take a look at these.

What are these?

Well, they were taken at the hearing
with Marsha MacArthur.

Well, there's Trent in the back.

That must be where he got the idea in
the first place. But what was he doing

here? We've been asking ourselves the
same question.

He wasn't registered as a patient or an
outpatient.

I think I'm going to give Steve over
here.

So, Trent was at Marsha McCarthy's press
conference. He was probably visiting a

patient. Hi, guys. I checked admitting
again. No one's been registered under

that last name here.

But you think he stole the insulin to
try and kill a patient? That must be why

he chose me.

I don't get it.

Who better than a doctor to make it look
like natural causes and sign the death

certificate? But we don't know which
patient he wants to kill.

He could be here right now.

Or on the way.

Give me security.

It's a boy.

Make sure everybody gets one.

Seal all hospital exits. Nobody gets in
or out.

You heard the lieutenant.

This is the man that we're looking for.

Are you convinced Trent's in the
hospital? I do know he's not going to

kill whoever he's after. Is he armed?

Maybe. Look, if you spot Trent, notify
me and then follow him. Do not try and

apprehend him. Leave that to the police.

All right. Let's go.

Ready?

I'll check in every ten minutes.

We'll go floor by floor, show these to
the nurses, see if anybody recognizes

them. Jesse, make sure my dad gets some
of those, all right? Got it.

Sir?

Sir?

Excuse me.

Do you want maternity?

Yeah, yes.

Well, you're on the wrong floor.

Maternity's on five.

Oh, thank you.

This is my first one, first baby.

Congratulations. Thank you.

Do you recognize that man?

He might have been here visiting a
patient.

No, I don't remember seeing him.

No, I'm sure I haven't. Is he dangerous?

I don't want to cause a panic, but be
careful.

Hang on to that.

John? Yes, Doctor?

Nurse, I want to leave this with you.

If any of the nurses recognize this man,
I want you to page me immediately. Do

you understand?

If you recognize him, you call security,
but don't let him see you do it.

Oh, my God.

She's not breathing. She's not
breathing.

Help me. Help me.

Lucy, have you seen this guy?

No, I just got on. All right, maybe a
nurse today would recognize him.

Well, they're both with patients.

If I take this, I'll ask them. Okay, if
they know which patient that he's

visiting, you call security, okay? It's
very important. Okay.

Of course it is.

You're alone?

Where is my backup?

How many cops does it take for a wild
goose chase? I'm telling you, Trent is

going to kill a patient.

Which patient?

We don't know yet.

What a surprise.

We are trying to find out.

Well, okay, let's see what we got here.

No victim, no killer, no murder, no
evidence.

You're batting a thousand, Steve.

Where are you going?

Somewhere out there, a real killer is
committing a real crime, and I am going

nail him.

Or get some coffee, whichever comes
first.

Maybe I'll drop by later.

Thanks a lot.

Yeah.

Got a minute?

Sure.

You recognize that man?

Probably here visiting a patient.

No, but I just got back from vacation.

I don't know if I've seen him.

He should be back from a break any
second.

I'll wait, thanks.

Second floor nursing station, please.

Second floor nursing station.

Is Dr. Sloan around there?

Yes, he's right here.

To you.

Dr. Sloan?

Dr. Sloan, I think they got that guy you
were looking for down on first.

Be right there.

Where is he, Lucy?

Who? Someone called and said Trent was
here. Well, we haven't seen anybody down

here, Doctor.

Oh, my God. Hold that!

This man, have you seen him?

Yeah, there.

Room 218.

Get out of here, Sloan.

You didn't hold up your end of the
bargain. You wanted Marcia MacArthur

No, I didn't. Yes, you did. You said so.
I heard you. I never agreed to that.

We had a deal.

We could both have had what we wanted so
easy if you weren't so gutless.

Who is she, Ted?

She's my favorite cousin.

You can't get out of here surrounded.

I need glucose.

Nurse, get some glucose over here. That.

And something sweet.

What? I don't know. Surprise me.

The intended victim is a cousin of
Trent's. She's recovering from severe

pneumonia, and the overdose of insulin
would have looked just like death from

natural causes. She's given us a
statement that after her husband died,

Trent the beneficiary of her life
insurance policy.

Two million dollars.

And he was her sole living relative.

Wow, that is something, isn't it?

Wait a minute.

Is that all you're going to say?

No apology for my father or me.

Don't you think you owe us something?

Well, a great detective once told me,
never explain, never complain, and never

apologize.

Actually, I think it was you, Steve.

I'm not sure I like him.

How could you not like him?

Okay, dinner's on me, all right?

All right. See you at Harry's at 8.
Right.

Hi, Steve.

Mark, you're going to be late for the
hearing.

Oh, that's right.

Oh, listen, have I got all the emergency
room statistics? I hear that this new

downsizing expert is tough. Here you go.
Complete with color graphs and charts.

Here she loves graphs.

And here are the charts on the seniors'
program.

Okay. I hope I've got enough
documentation here to stop them from

all these programs.

What's normally coming back? As soon as
these hearings are over. You'll be fine.

You'll do just fine. You're going to
kill him.

Out.

I was just... Kind of funny.
