All language subtitles for Diagnosis Murder s05e22 Promises to Keep

Budging to death in her apartment, and
all we come up with is cat hairs, a

of gum, and lens tissues.

Hey, Lieutenant, look at this.

Bear bombs.

Now we're getting somewhere.

Bag those and get them to Bunko.

You think they're from that Century City
swindle?

Same bank, same denominations. What are
the odds it's a coincidence?

Hold it, sir. You can't come in here
now. Excuse me, what's going on?

Lieutenant?

I'm Lieutenant Sloan. Can I help you?

I'm looking for my mom.

Kate Matthews?

Honey, I'm her husband, Ryan Matthews.

Ex -husband, actually.

Mr. Matthews, can I speak with you for a
minute?

I'm sorry, Mr. Matthews, but I'm afraid
your wife was murdered last night.

You look like a man struggling with the
acquisitions committee.

Only their paperwork.

And the notion of buying a TMR system.

You still opposed to it? Oh, yeah.

Laser heart surgery is still way too
experimental.

We're on the cutting edge. At least Dr.
Reese seems to think so. Yeah, cutting

edge, expensive, unproven, and very
risky.

Tess, leave the soda machine alone.

This is Ryan Matthews and his daughter
Tess. They're here to identify Kate

Matthews. Well, the only vending machine
that seems to work is in the doctor's

lounge, right, Mark?

Yeah. I was just going down there. I'll
show Tess where it is. Sure.

It's right down there. I can't guarantee
this one works either, but the odds are

a little better anyway.

You, uh, sure you're ready for this?

Let's get it over with.

Mr. Matthews, I need to caution you on
one thing.

I know.

There's been a lot of damage. It's
liable to shock you.

Oh, that's okay. I've got my own money.

Well, I just thought I'd... You know, if
you want to flip for it.

Why don't we make it interesting?

Double or nothing, loser buys winner a
soda and a candy bar.

Tails.

Okay, so I'm buying you a soda and a
candy bar.

I'll give you another chance.

Let's flip for a soda, a candy bar, and
a bag of chips.

If you don't mind, I think I'll quit
while I'm behind. Thank you.

Yes, about your mom.

I really don't want to talk about it
today.

Well, I know you don't, but sometimes
you need to talk things out.

No, I don't. You see, Dr. Sloan, it's no
news that my mom's dead. My dad told me

she died in a car wreck when I was a
kid, so I'm pretty much used to the

Start getting unused to it, kiddo.

Whoever that is in the morgue, she's not
your mom.

The victim was your wife's friend,
Emily.

Never heard of her.

Last week, Kate showed up in Smithfield,
Utah, where I was working as a security

guard. We had an argument, she left, and
I decided to come to L .A. to, I don't

know, try to patch things up.

That's it.

Did your ex -wife ever mention a man
named Gavin Cutler?

She worked with him once, a long time
ago.

We lifted a set of his prints from her
apartment.

Off the murder weapon?

No.

Is there anything you can tell me about
this Cutler?

You want me to list all the swindles
he's gotten away with? And the murders?

You already know all about that.

And about the dirty bunco cop who let
him walk?

I wasn't dirty.

You were just married to one of the cons
on his team.

And all the evidence just happened to
disappear.

Interrogation by insinuation.

I used to be good at that, too. You used
to be good at a lot of things until you

helped Cutler.

As a favor to your wife.

Ex -wife.

Look, I don't know anything about your
murder victim. I'm not going to sit

around and talk about old times.

Did it ever occur to you that Kate might
be in real trouble?

Then maybe you should be out looking for
her instead of chatting with me.

Thanks for the advice. Meanwhile, I need
to know where to contact you.

In case I decide to waste more of my
time.

We just got into town. We don't even
have a motel room.

Why don't you come out of my house?

You can get a shower, the both of you
get some rest, and you can go look for a

place. I was just beginning to see
Grubby in this style.

Are you sure?

Yeah, we'll go out there right after I
finish my shift at the hospital. Dad, I

need a couple things clarified on the M
.A.'s report. Excuse us.

That's a very troubled young woman.
Yeah, I kind of figured that.

She's on the verge of more trouble if
somebody doesn't sit her down and talk

her. Remember the time you decided to
bring home the stray dog?

Which one? The one that bit the mailman.

You've lectured me about that before,
you know.

And you always ignored me.

Just like you're doing right now.

Well, before we didn't have a murder
Jane Doe, who murdered her and why?

That's the question.

What, bearer bonds?

Part of a $300 ,000 swindle.

But I don't think Ryan and Tess had
anything to do with it.

Nor the murderer Jane Doe, either.

They could be the key to helping us
solve it, though.

Thanks.

Ed.

Did the test leave you alone long enough
to get some work done?

Oh, sure. As a matter of fact, I enjoyed
the diversion.

This stuff's going to go well.

You being audited?

I wish I were, but this is worse than
the IRS.

We're talking TMR here.

TMR?

Transmyocardial Rebascularization.

It's an experimental treatment. They use
lasers to cut little narrow channels

right through to the heart muscle, you
know, past any occluded or blocked

arteries. And it allows the ischemic
areas of the heart to be bathed in

oxygenated blood.

I lost you, didn't I?

Not at all. I'm the only... A member of
my family that didn't become a doctor.

Really?

Dr. Sloan?

Yeah, he's right here.

Somebody for you. Something about a job.

This is Ryan Matthews.

And this is Gavin Cutler. Maybe you
remember me.

Sure, I remember you.

I was just calling to say that if you
want to see Kate again, alive, then you

and I need to talk.

It isn't the master of the long con.

You put on a little weight, detective.

Too much mall food.

She didn't ask me here to discuss my
diet.

Where's Kate?

Lost somewhere with $300 ,000 in bearer
bonds that belong to us.

Bearer bonds?

It was a wonderful operation, actually.
We created an entire fake stock

brokerage in Century City.

I was the senior partner, Kate was a
broker, and she ran off with our spoils.

Not a very polite way to treat her hard
-working co -workers.

We just want it back. No hard feelings.

Yeah, tell that to her roommate.

Wouldn't know her if I saw her. Go down
to the morgue and take a look. Third

drawer from the left.

You know, it takes literally millions of
components to make a computer function.

And when something that complex and
intricate works, it's elegant.

But if even one...

These millions of tiny parts fails.

It's almost impossible to find.

And even harder to fix.

Sometimes it's just not worth it.

I'm tired of looking for Kate.

But I know where to find her.

We have nothing to do with this.

All we want is our money back, so if
you'd bring it by tomorrow after you

Kate, we'd be grateful.

I'm sure Tess would be, too.

Head. You can tell whether it's head or
tail without even looking.

Well, actually, my mom taught me how to
do that when I was little.

You like to play tricks on people?

Everybody always tricks others.

Can't trust anyone anyway, so if you're
smart, you'll fool them before they fool

you. You think the world's really that
way, Tess?

You just tricked me, didn't you?

Come on, Tess, let's go.

Did you find Mom? No, but I did find us
a place to stay, and it's not expensive.

Mark, thanks so much for your help.
You're welcome.

Okay, Dad, do you want to tell me the
truth?

What is it?

What's really happening?

Your mom's gotten herself into a lot of
trouble.

If we don't go back to Smithfield, we'll
be in it, too.

No.

I'm not going.

Tess, she's on the run.

She could be in Brazil by now.

Last time we abandoned her, I didn't
have a vote.

This time I'm staying.

I'm going to help her.

I tried that once, too.

And that's how I ended up as a shopping
mall rent -a -cop. She's my mother.

I can't walk out on her now.

Dad, it's time to stop.

Tess, I wouldn't even know where to
begin looking.

Well, maybe I do.

Where did you get this?

From Mom.

Last week.

Must have meant a lot to her, or else
she wouldn't have kept it so long.

We spent every weekend at that cabin.

A lot of years ago.

Maybe that's where she is now.

Yeah, I know what you thought.

I love what you've done with the place.

Although the truly fashionable rat holes
have shredded newspaper on the floor.

You come all this way to criticize my
decorating skills?

We heard you were in trouble.

I'm fine.

I'll bet.

Nothing like $300 ,000 to ease life's
little troubles.

The real bonds were in the briefcase
when I left them at the drop for Cutler.

Someone must have followed me and stole
it.

Well, it's comforting to know you're an
honest crook.

Dad, don't. What I do to survive stopped
being your business when you took my

daughter and abandoned me.

Well, it started up again when Cutler
threatened us.

Tess, I am so sorry.

Look, we've had enough apologies. Just
give me the bonds.

I'll see to it that Cutler leaves us
alone.

All of us.

I told you, I didn't steal those bonds.

I'll make sure Cutler knows that it was
just an innocent accident that you ended

up with 300 grand of his money.

Now hand it over so we can get on with
our lives.

Why do you believe Gavin Cutler over
your own wife?

Well, maybe it's because Gavin Cutler's
never lied to me. Dad, stop it. Get out.

I'm not leaving without you.

Honey, I wish I could.

Kate, look, we found you. So will they.
None of us are safe.

Then I'll just have to go talk to Gavin
Cutler.

You can't.

To keep you safe, there's nothing I
won't do.

Aren't you going to stop her?

You take care of my daughter.

I always have.

Mr. Matthews, I'm Dr. Travis.

How is she?

Your wife has a condition called
hemothorax. What does that mean?

Blood from the wound is filling the
chest.

But she's going to be okay.

We placed a tube in her chest to drain
it. Right now we have to wait and hope

that she stabilizes.

That is until she's doing better.

Tess, I want you to stay with the
officer.

Where are you going?

Perhaps you didn't see the sign over the
door that says employees only behind

the counter. You used me to lead you to
Kate so you could gun her down right in

front of my daughter.

Explain to me how I can get Kate to give
me the bearer bonds if she's dead.

She doesn't have your bonds.

Then why did the police find some of
them in her apartment?

I'm sorry.

Did you think you were the only cop who
ever did me a favor?

Then who shot her?

Don't know. Don't care.

Just want my money.

300 grand.

Sell your daughter into white slavery.

Auction off your wife's organs.

Get a paper route.

There are lots of ways.

Okay. I think I know how to get it.

But I'll need your help.

I know some doctors who are good for the
money.

No, I already talked to the people at
the Bay Area Clinic.

They said they've already maxed out
their R &D budget for this year, but

year's a definite maybe.

No, no, I know the company can't survive
on maybes, Mr. Ward, and it shouldn't

have to. You guys make a tour of the
product.

Yes, I really do believe that, sir.

All right.

New job.

Right about the same time my wife gets
shot. Some timing, huh?

Well, congratulations on your job.

Who's the lucky employer?

Oh, Kindine Medical Technologies.

I'm their newest sales rep.

I don't think I've ever heard of them.

Well, they're fairly new, based in
Sacramento.

And would you believe it? They're rather
our main thing is one of those heart

laser systems Mark was talking about.

TMR? Yeah.

Thanks to Mark, I knew enough to talk my
way into a job.

Just haven't been able to talk anybody
into buying one.

Well, TMR is still experimental as well
as expensive.

Yeah, and the only system around that
can save patients with severe angina

standard bypass won't do the job.

Straight out of the brochure.

Well, you sold me.

Now all you have to do is convince the
acquisitions committee.

Hey, I'd be happy if I could just set up
a presentation.

Then maybe I could hold on to this job
long enough to make a sale somewhere.

Well, setting up a presentation
shouldn't be all that difficult.

Maybe I can help you lay down the
groundwork.

Name's Morris Wheaton, formerly Dr.

Morris Wheaton.

I work with Ted McGill out of Dallas.

What brings you to California?

Well, it gets hot in Texas sometimes.

And did you do anything else there
besides sweat?

I was in on the San Antonio MedTech
deal.

I was part of the crew that relieved...

Dallas Hills Hospital of its pension
fund.

I heard somebody died on that job.

Yeah, bad planning.

You know McGill, you know that happens.

Are you up to date medically?

Do you know about TMR?

I may be defrocked, but I am current.

Transmyocardial revascularization.

An alternative treatment which utilizes
a CO2 -based laser.

That's fine.

Just show up and make sure you look like
a rich heart surgeon.

Next.

Oh, no. Send him home. We don't need
him.

Back when I was working bunco, young
Jake here ratted out all his pals on a

and 10 deal.

It's nice having the inside track, isn't
it?

Jake, we've got nothing for you today.
Thank you.

I'm Patrick Norton.

Have you ever worked a long con?

No, but I've done a lot of pigeon drops.

Used to deal three cart money in New
York.

You ever shilled on a health scam?

Oh, lots of auto injuries.

Practically invented the swoop and
squat.

How long you been smoking?

Third grade.

This guy's perfect.

You tell me here, Mr. Gardner.

It's just like last time, Doc. Feels
like I got a semi parked on my chest.

You've had this before?

Angina, same pain in my jaw, my arm.

I called my doctor. He's going to send
the paperwork over.

Okay, good. Well, right now, why don't
we see if we can't make you a little

comfortable. Right, coming through.

Tess, I'm so sorry.

For what?

For the one who got shot?

All those years.

I should have been there.

Taught you.

Taught me a lot when I was little.

How to pump a car and the coin trick.

I never forgot any of it.

Oh, good.

Another reason for your dad to hate me.

Why does Dad hate you?

He never told you.

You were dead. What was the point?

Your dad thinks I made him become
something he despises.

He arrested a man named Gavin Cutler who
knew something about my past.

Something I'd hidden from your father.

That you ran long cons.

Nice to know it wasn't entirely
forgotten, even though I was dead.

Not by either of us.

Cutler gave your dad a choice.

If he walked, I walked.

But if he went down... Mom, what's
wrong?

Mom, help.

My mom needs help in here. Hurry.

Mom, I think the brain was worried here.

Let's get the oxygen.

Any word?

No, she's still in surgery.

Tess, I have to go. I have a meeting.

That's right.

Forgot how much you cared about her.

300 workers in five facilities in four
states can dine medical technologies has

the TMR know -how to assist community
general in leading the way into the next

century. And, finally, let me assure you
that your operating theaters, with our

assistance, can be readily adapted to
our system.

Well, that's a relief.

I was afraid we'd have to demolish them
and start over.

Hardly.

Well, unfortunately, Mr. Ward, we're
talking about demolishing our entire

acquisition budget for the year.

For a procedure you're convinced can
only be performed on a limited number of

patients, correct?

Exactly. Dr. Sloan, we wouldn't have
invested so heavily in TMR if the

didn't support it.

Fact is, Mark, our procedure will help
more patients than you think.

As much as 40%. But Dr.

Sloan is right.

TMR systems are very expensive, which is
why we're going to make you an offer

you simply cannot walk away from.

If you agree to pay our upfront delivery
costs, we will provide equipment,

training, and support for the first
year.

Got how much of these delivery costs?

$300 ,000.

Covers the entire first year.

You're right. That would be hard to walk
away from, assuming your system is all

you say it is.

Yeah, which is the big question right
now. Gentlemen, you're going to have to

excuse us. We're out of time.

Dr.

Sloan, honestly, if... We could provide
a demonstration.

Would I be more comfortable investing in
TMR? Yes, I would. We have a clinic in

Sacramento that's up and running with
our system.

And your surgical staff?

I'll be happy to provide you with their
CVs and references, as a matter of fact,

right now.

Well, of course, we'd have to find a
suitable candidate.

You know, I admitted a guy yesterday.
He'd be a perfect patient.

Patrick Norton. He's in the cardiac
unit.

I'd like to have our staff surgeon, Dr.
Wheaton, take a look at him. Yeah, I'll

have him meet him and pull the files.

Look, I hope I'm not being obstructive.

No, but hospitals have limited funds and
you have to be careful. I understand,

Doctor. I hope you understand I have
other duties besides the acquisition

committee. Very impressive presentation.

Thanks, Mark.

What? I just checked on your mom.

She was in serious trouble. We caught it
in time. She's gonna be fine.

Good.

She'll be out of surgery soon. You'll be
able to see her in a few hours.

Tess, she's not gonna die.

She is to me.

He's never gonna let me talk to her
again.

It's gonna be just like it was before.

Except now, you'll know she's not dead.

And it's going to make you miss her even
more.

You want me to talk to your dad?

He won't listen.

Hates her so much.

Blames her for losing his job or
something.

You know, six years ago, my daughter
married a terrible man.

And she wouldn't listen to anything I
said.

And I got angrier, angrier at her. And
finally, we didn't talk at all.

But you didn't tell people she's dead.

I didn't talk about her at all.

For years, I just pretended she didn't
exist.

And then one day, she came back here and
made me realize how much I missed her.

That's not how my dad felt when my mom
showed up.

Are you sure?

I didn't hate my daughter.

I hated myself for the way I treated
her.

And every time I thought about it, it
reminded me of that, so it just got

not to think about it at all.

Well, how do you get along with her now?

Oh, it turns out we don't have all that
much in common now.

We get together, we don't exactly see
eye to eye.

You're just like a real family.

I guess you're right about that.

Are you Lieutenant C. Sloan?

That's me.

FBI Special Agent Ilona O'Dell. This is
Agent Polk.

Please, sit down.

You've been asking questions about Gavin
Cutler.

He's wanted for questioning concerning a
murder.

I want you to back off.

No, what you want is your boss to talk
to my boss.

Until then...

I was trying to steamroll you,
Lieutenant.

I apologize.

Apology accepted.

Maybe you'd just better tell me what
this is about.

Well, I know Cutler is setting up a con
on the west side here.

The kind of fancy high -tech job he
specializes in.

Then if you have what you need to arrest
him... Frankly, I've been after him for

two years, and I don't even have enough
for a warrant.

My only shot is to try and take him down
right in the middle of a job.

And you're afraid if I keep
investigating, Cutler will shut down his

disappear. And I will have spent the
last two years of my life for nothing.

All right, I'll hold off for 24 hours.

But when you bring Cutler in... Well,
you can talk to him all you want.

Deal.

Well, thank you, Dr. Wahlberg. I
appreciate you taking the time to speak

me.

I'm always glad to endorse Kindle and
medical technologies. And Dr.

Wheaton. Goodbye.

And Dr. Wahlberg is most impressed with
your computer rerouting system.

Mm -hmm.

Looks like we're going from Wahlberg in
Boston to Adderley in Detroit.

St. Mary's. How may I direct your call?

Hi, this is Dr. Mark Sloan. May I speak
to Dr. Adderley, please?

One moment, please.

Dr. Adderley speaking.

Yes, Dr.

Sloan. How can I help you?

I just want you to know the opportunity
to work with you means a lot to Dr.

Wheat. I feel the same way. You know,
everyone I talk to seems to love him.

your company, too.

Oh, thanks. That's good to hear.

Gentlemen.

You must be Dr.

Wheaton. Dr. Sloan, it is a pleasure,
sir. And you know our patient, Patrick

Norton? Mr. Norton? Doctor.

Shall we begin?

Yes.

No infarction.

The abnormalities of the ischemic
myocardium match the angiogram.

Hey, hey, guys, that better be good.

We certainly hope it is, Mr. Norton.

Judging from your EKG and the
physician's report...

heart laser thing is my best chance.

Mr. Norton, you understand this
procedure we're talking about is

experimental.

I understand that this is the best shot
I got of being around for my grandson's

next birthday.

Where do I sign?

All right. Talk to you later.

I

didn't know you

guys had rigged that thing.

I'd be one scared puppy about now.

Mr. Norton has signed all the necessary
paperwork so that the procedure can be

performed at our clinic in Sacramento.
Which also means the community general

completely off the hook, liability
-wise.

Well, our concern goes beyond legal
liability, Ryan.

Yeah, we're talking about Mr. Norton's
life here. Exactly. And that life has to

be saved, which is why he must undergo
TMR immediately.

Dr. Wheaton will accompany him on the
air ambulance tonight.

Aren't we rushing things just a bit?

Well, um, it's our logical next step,
Dr. Travis. We've given you our pitch.

Dr. Sloan has checked out our
references.

All of whom gave you high praises.

So what's left but to see our system in
action.

The only thing is I don't see how we can
get to Sacramento at such short notice.

You won't have to. We can set up a real
-time video conference right here. We

can stay here and you can watch the
whole thing. At 9 a .m. tomorrow

Good. We'll be here.

Thank you, Mr. Morton.

Want to go celebrate?

You sound pretty positive.

I know when I've sold the scam.

Scam.

Don't let this become a problem.

You're helping him rip off Dr. Sloan and
his friend?

Tess, why don't you go find out how your
mom's doing? I want to know what you're

doing. Well, unfortunately, I don't want
to talk about it right now. Well, I

wonder why.

For five years, all I've heard is
lectures about what a bad person mom is

because she conned people.

Now you're doing the same thing.

Only mom never ripped off her friends.

Do you know who that man was?

Some thug.

He works for Gavin Cutler.

The guy mom used to work for?

Yes. Now you're working for him?

Yes. So what, he offers better health
benefits than the department store?

Cutler thinks your mom owes him
something. If he doesn't get it, bad

going to happen.

To mom?

And to me, and maybe even to you.

I'm going to prevent that from
happening, no matter what it takes.

Tessie, I know what I'm doing is wrong.

It's the only way I can prevent
something much worse.

I don't know if you can understand that.

It's what I have to do.

I think I understand.

We're stuck in the middle of something,
and there's no way out without doing

something terrible.

Exactly.

Just like Mom was.

How was that?

Terrific, except you got behind the tape
twice.

Odell, you dropped a scalpel. Hey, it
slipped, okay?

Norton, you sneezed. I couldn't help it.
It's dusty in here. Next time, help it.

Our audience is taking their seats right
now.

Rehearsal is over.

We are online and logging on to the Ken
Dine website

now.

Laces, everybody. It is definitely
showtime.

Pulse 65.

BP 122 over 78. He's stable.

Patient is ready, doctor.

Let's get started.

We're going to begin with the standard
median sternotomy.

First, Dr. Wheaton is going to address
those areas of the heart muscle that are

served by blood vessels that we can
bypass in the more traditional way.

pre -recorded portion of our evening.

Uh, must have a little online static
here.

Okay.

All right. The order's cross -clamped.
We're on bypass.

Fifteen beds and doors.

That has to be the fastest two -vessel
bypass on record.

Just wait. Once we reactivate the heart,
the fun really begins.

10 over 65.

All right, we're ready for phase two.
Goggles, please. Goggles.

All lights are protected, doctor.

Is the exposure good?

Let's give him a little more relaxant.

All right, arm the laser.

Laser is armed and ready to go.

Wow.

It's looking good, doctor.

Very nice.

How many channels will the doctor cut?

All together, 30 channels through the
heart muscle itself.

He knows precisely how many channels
he'll make before the operation begins?

I believe Dr.

Wheaton said it can vary. Isn't that
right, Mr. Ward? Oh, sure. Nobody knows

exactly.

Pulse is 63 BP.

More static.

Hold your positions.

We're offline. There's some kind of a
power surge.

Hold your positions.

Lasering the last three channels.

Much bleeding.

All right, we're done, folks.

Close him.

That's amazing.

He did exactly 30 applications for the
laser.

Gentlemen, can we meet again?

How about 8 .30 tomorrow morning?

Look

at

that sinus rhythm.

Amazing improvement.

Almost as amazing as paperwork involved
with every little detail in this

hospital. Well, there is still one bit
of paperwork.

Yes, one little item here. The board has
authorized me to present you with this

cashier's check for $300 ,000.

Thanks to you gentlemen, the hospital is
finally getting a TMR.

Or as Dr.

Travis puts it, finally stepping into
the 21st century.

Okay, that's it.

Cutler gets his money back, and I'm
done.

You're done when Cutler says you're
done.

How about you? I go back to the shop and
wait till Cutler tells you it's over.

In my briefcase, I have one signed but
worthless contract.

And in my pocket, I have a cashier's
check worth 300 grand.

Beautiful. Well, you know where to bring
it. I'll see you in an hour.

Bye -bye.

Okay,

you can take the car. Be cool, man. Be
cool.

Here, you want my wallet?

Fine, no problem.

Oh, Rolex? No problem. That too.

What? What? What?

Oh, no. What the heck? What are you
doing?

is people do all their banking from home
on their computers.

When they bring their PCs in to be
repaired, they're giving their account

numbers, their balances, all their
credit information to guys like me.

And we get to bill them for it.

Don't you love technology?

Eddie should have been here an hour ago.

Best front man I ever worked with. He'll
show up.

And if he doesn't, eventually I'll find
him and kill him and you'll owe me $600

,000.

Thanks for easing my mind.

No problem.

Ryan was getting worried about you. I
think he thought you ran off with our

payday. Must have confused me with his
ex -wife.

Well. We're all finished here.

Kate owes you nothing.

But you do.

Excuse me?

We're out of pocket for the cash, the
locations, the software.

We've incurred substantial losses.

You expect me to come up with another
$150 ,000?

You've done it once.

I'm sure you can do it again.

Excuse me.

Hello.

I paid $300 ,000 for a TMR program.

I'd like a refund.

I can just take my money and be on my
way, thanks.

How long did you know you were being
taken, Dr. Sloan?

Well, I'll tell you.

Gavin, I think it was when he got a job
with a company that sells PMR setups.

That kind of a coincidence always
bothers me.

But I wasn't entirely sure until Eddie
here showed up as Mr. Ward.

It was those lens tissues.

I don't see how a tissue could destroy
an intricate long con.

Well, unless you find one just like it
at a murder scene. You know, Emily and

Kate, neither one wore glasses.

Anyone could have left a tissue. It
proves nothing.

If you knew it was a con, why'd you let
us go through with it?

Well, it was the only way I could find
out who killed Emily and who stole that

$300 ,000.

Now, my guess is that Eddie was planning
some of the bearer bonds to frame Kate

when Emily walked in on him.

Excuse me?

This isn't a drawing room, and you're
not Jessica Fletcher, so what's to stop

from shooting him where he's standing
and us going on about our business?

Well, for one thing, I'm the one holding
the gun, Eddie, and for another, I'd

like to know who done it.

I'll shoot him afterwards.

I think he's wearing a wire. He's not.

I have sensors everywhere.

My beepers would have gone off the
second he walked in. Doctor, please,

continue. I'll need a minute.

Oh, you also shot Pete.

Stop that. I did not.

It's all right. They're with me.

You recognize these gentlemen, Eddie?

This is insanity.

Shoot these people now, and let's get
out of here with our money while we

can. See, the only way that I could
prove that Eddie killed Emily was to get

to confess that he was the one that took
the $300 ,000.

And he did.

I didn't admit anything.

Well, not exactly in words, but by
deeds.

These gentlemen robbed Eddie out in the
parking lot. They took his car and his

wallet. And my Rolex.

And his Rolex.

And also this, the check from Community
General.

See, Eddie knew he couldn't come back
here empty -handed, so what did he do?

cashed out those bearer bonds he stole
from you.

I love a whodunit. It's always such a
surprise.

Maybe this is a good time to mention
that I'm a police officer.

And this place is surrounded, and... And
you're all under arrest.

Thanks, I appreciate you letting me say
that.

Boy, you guys are slick.

I love a good con.

Thank you.

Van, you back?

Why are we here, Sloan?

Can't wait to humiliate me in front of
my family?

No, we wanted to thank you for your
help.

What help? I tried to scam you.

I don't remember it that way.

Certainly not what it says in my report.

Without you on the inside, we never
could have taken Cutler down.

You know, Katie's decided to turn
state's evidence against Cutler. I don't

he'll be bothering anybody for long,
Todd.

I don't understand.

You had a gun to your head, Ryan. We
know that.

You didn't have any choice.

Now you do.

You know, if you keep improving at this
rate, it's going to be hard to find an

excuse to keep you here.

Well, my apartment still looks like a
crime scene. How's that?

Works for me. I don't know if the
insurance company will buy it.

Besides, you can't come see me until
they release you.

Tiz, I don't know if your dad's going to
want... Want what?

We were just talking.

About Mom coming to visit us. Maybe stay
a while?

Yes, I got a lot to do out here right
now.

That's why I got you an open ticket.

Use it whenever you feel ready.

We're on a trip.

We don't want to rush anything.

Besides, it's just good to know you
still got a way home.

Well, that turned out pretty good.

Yeah, I have to admit it did.

Enough to warrant a celebration?

Yeah. Del Florian's? Great.

You want to flip and see who paid? Yeah.

We'll use mine.

Ready?

Yes.

Yes, it is.

That's my two -headed quarter.

And you're buying.
