Dad? See why he didn't want you visiting
inside?

Looking good, Mr. G.

He's right.

You look great.

It just takes some getting used to.

Eddie, thanks for taking care of my
little girl for the last 20 years.

It's the least I can do, Mr. G.

So, how's my business in Atlantic City?

Oh, we're moving into California.

Yeah, a lot has changed since you've
been away.

We need to expand the business, take out
new territory.

And whose idea was that?

Mine.

We took the liberty of buying you a new
car. Way to use the navigation system.

Check this out, Mr. G.

Remote ignition.

We had the boys put it in special for
you down at the garage.

It's great for quick getaways.

You think I'm running, Eddie?

I think my father deserves the best.

We also rented you a house.

You're going to love it, Dad. Right on
the beach in Malibu.

I'm not retiring.

Moving west is good business.

Better be.

Because it's my business now.

Dr. Bentley to the ER.

Dr. Bentley to the ER. The alignment
looks good, but there's going to be no

basketball for you for the next three
weeks. I'm not joking.

I don't play basketball.

Well, what do you play?

Nothing. Nothing?

Mr. Pantry?

This is Dion.

Hi, Dion. I'm Dr. Amanda Bentley.

Sure. What's she here for?

Well, I called her in for a second
opinion. Sometimes that's what doctors

I tell you what, as the doctor who set
that arm, I'm going to be the first one

to sign that cast, all right? What do
you say?

I broke my arm. Why is she licking at my
leg?

Why don't you ask me?

I'm asking.

Your leg was also broken, Dion.

That was last year.

How did you break it?

It fell in a window.

Was that the first time you broke your
leg or the second time?

Both times.

See, my mom...

Not my real mom.

My mama.

Dion's in foster care.

She says I'm real careless.

Sophie will finish up your cast, all
right?

We'll be right back.

We have a word with you, Dr. Travis.

You think it's a coincidence that he's
broken the flag twice?

Not to mention the thick red fur and the
evidence of beatings. He's obviously an

abused foster child.

Who brought him in?

Uh, his older stepbrother. I'd like to
have a word with him.

Excuse me.

Go.

No man could get used to this.

It's my job.

Distracting me?

No.

Showing you the local sights.

Think of me as your own tour guide to
relaxation.

Okay? Great way to travel.

Choo -choo.

You tell my daughter, as much as I
appreciate the house, all the sights,

I'll kill anybody trying to take my
blade.

All set?

Good.

Can I go home now?

No, not just yet, Deanna. I want to take
some x -rays first.

Jorge, split ding.

Now, is Jorge your brother?

He's Walter and Betsy's real child.

And Walter and Betsy would be your
foster parents?

Do you like them?

They're okay.

I want to go home now.

Do you really?

Yeah, really.

Or is that because you're afraid of
being thrown back into a group home?

I just want to go home.

Dion, listen to me.

I understand what you're going through.

You don't know nothing.

Oh, but I do.

I was once in a foster home myself as a
child.

You were a foster child?

But you're a doctor.

So?

All right.

How's your day?

Not as good as yours.

How did you know about that?

Well, I get around.

That was some lunch you had.

Yeah, we did get a little carried away.

Who is she?

Oh, the new facilities administrator.
Very capable woman.

Mm -hmm.

Beautiful, too.

Yeah, I guess if you like that tight.

Is that why you were all dressed up?

What, that old rag, you mean?

You know, we got some exceptional news.

Is there something I should know?

Can you keep a secret for a couple of
days?

Sure. The legislature voted to grant us
our variance for the new wellness

center.

That's what you were celebrating?

I imagine the governor will sign it next
week.

You upset?

No. Should I be?

Well, you know the wellness center is
going to be the end of Ponyland. I know

that was a big part of your childhood.

Oh, I think I can deal with that, Dad.

Just fine.

What's for dinner?

Oh, you still hungry?

So, this is your promised land, huh?

Prime Beach Front.

We're turning into a 5 ,000 -room hotel
and theme complex geared to the whole

family. Didn't some guy with a mouse
already do that?

He left out the casino.

Yeah, but we're going for the trifecta.

Amusement park, Vegas, typical shit.

It's hard to do without a gaming
license.

I'm going to have the only valid one in
California.

Who did you bribe?

I made a few well -placed campaign
contributions.

Oh, yeah. Legal bribes.

Yeah. I did it legitimately. Is that so
hard to accept?

How are you going to get people up
there?

Improve the access road, widen the
highway, put in a dock.

Good luck getting the permits for that.

The governor is signing a private bill
next Tuesday.

He thinks it's for a wellness center.

You got a hospital to fund for you?

The hospital's for real.

The guy who owns the kidney park donated
the land.

It's the key parcel.

You don't own the land.

Trust me, he'll sell.

No, you trust me.

I'll take over from here.

Who do you think doubled the family's
business over the last five years?

He doesn't have the brains.

Oh, she's right, boss. I'm not nearly as
smart as she is.

Will you let a woman give you orders,
Eddie?

He took orders from my brother when he
was alive. That's different.

Why?

My son was speaking for me.

This is my project.

It's my money.

You haven't lost a dime.

I don't intend to.

From now on, this is not about
legislators and loopholes.

This is about persuasion.

I'm persuaded.

I'm Emma Bornstein from the Department
of Social Services. You called us. Oh,

yeah, hi. I treated a client of yours,
Dion Stone, green stick fracture of the

distal radius.

Why don't you just sign the release
form, and then we'll have the boy

to his foster family.

I'm afraid that's not possible.

And you are? Dr. Bentley. I'm assisting
Dr. Travis in this case.

Dion's running a surprisingly high
fever, and we're not authorized to

him at this time.

Oh, well, I thought you called us. Well,
that's my fault.

You see, his fever started spiking just
ten minutes ago when I was returning the

paperwork.

Huh.

Okay.

I have some other business at the
hospital.

But next time, don't call us till you're
ready to release.

Okay?

Why didn't you tell me Dan had a fever?

Jesse, he doesn't. I was just trying to
buy some time.

Jesse, the x -rays show multiple areas
of callus indicating old fractures of

ulna.

So. You were right. This is an abusive
situation.

We've got to tell them. They'll start an
investigation.

Exactly. Jesse, it takes a minimum of 72
hours to conduct an investigation,

during which Dion could be returned to
his foster parents or thrown into a

home. And that's exactly how an already
abused child ends up dead.

Not if I have anything to do with it.

Kept him in prison for only one more
year, I wouldn't be having these

It's the first time I've heard a
daughter wishing her father stayed in

Jail's where he's been most of my life.

I thought he never let you visit.

He didn't.

We'd get phone calls, 20 minutes for the
heir apparent, and then a quick, listen

to your brother, princess, to me.

You still want his approval.

No.

I've been running the business since my
brother died. I'm not going to let my

father take that away.

As your advisor, I'd have to say that if
you want to keep it, you have to stand

up to him.

My brother tried that.

He's dead now.

You really think your father killed his
own son?

Yes.

I really believe that, Maya. It puts
things in a very different light.

Meaning? Either you fold your hand and
let your father run things...

Or, you do what needs to be done.

Meaning? What needs to be done.

Chester, I cannot get over how little
the place has changed.

Well, the kids wouldn't mind a change.
It's the parents and the grandparents

have changed.

They just want to see the place the same
as it was when they was little.

You know, I think Steve feels the same
way about it. I think he loves this

more now than he did when he was a
little boy.

Let's get him back out of here.

That's why I came to talk to you. You
know, his birthday's coming up.

Yeah.

He always spent them with us. Sure did.

I'd like to do it one more time,
Chester, just for old time's sake, you

before we break ground for the wellness
center.

Ed, do you want to make it a surprise?

I'd sure like to, but you know my son.

Pretty smart young fella.

Yeah. Well, you know he's going to think
I'm crazy anyway.

Because if he even gets a hint of what
we're up to, he's going to trick you out

of it.

You were never out here.

I never seen you.

We've got a deal.

Something the matter, Chester?

Well, do you really believe that this is
the best possible place for that

wellness center?

I'm kidding.

I mean, the view itself is positively
therapeutic.

I got something to tell you.

A young woman was out here and offered
me a whole lot of money to sell it. Oh.

Well, it's your land, Chester. I never
said yes.

But I think about it.

I see.

You know, she wants to just keep it an
amusement park.

You know, like Ponyland, only a little
bit more up to date.

Did she show you any plans?

No.

Well, you know, Chester, if she's going
to pay you all that much money for this

place, how's she going to make a profit?
I mean, certainly not keeping it

Ponyland.

I never thought of that.

See, Chester, you know what our
intentions are.

And I think you should get all the
details from her that you got from us.

You're right.

Now do it.

And we can still have Steve's birthday
either way.

Absolutely.

I promise you, I won't say a word.

You know,

maybe the guy just got

scared and ran away when I got out of
the car.

Maybe. I'd still be careful.

Oh, I will.

Come on, I know he was just here. And
I'm telling you, I haven't seen him.

Doctor, I just left my dad.

Well, I can't tell you who you just
left.

But I can tell you who was here and who
wasn't.

Ah, this is about my birthday, isn't it?

You're having a birthday?

Every year.

When is it?

I'll send you a card, just like I used
to.

Chester, this is not birthday business.
It's police business.

Steve, I've always had the utmost
respect for you.

Do you have any idea what kind of
trouble you might get into using your

position to attempt to obtain personal
information?

All right, Chester. You don't want to
talk to me. How about you talk to my

Sure. Send him on out.

I haven't seen him in years.

I can't tell whether to be thrilled or
terrified about this new rotation.

If I were you, I'd be a little of both.

Well, I guess it's not quite the inner
city in here.

Believe me, the next month you're going
to get plenty of experience.

For example, right here, this is Mr.
Berman.

Mr. Berman has had an acute allergic
reaction.

From kissing his girlfriend?

That's right. He's allergic to citrus.
She just drank a glass of orange juice.

What do you guys got?

She's diabetic.

Gave herself too much insulin and went
into a hypoglycemic coma.

That, glucose.

As soon as we get the lining, we, uh,
what, Alex? Give her an amputee 50.

There you go.

This is Palmer.

You know her?

Yeah, she's a patient of Mark's. She's
been having trouble with her memory over

the past six months.

Does she live alone?

Part -time home care, yeah.

You know, she's exactly the type of
patient that should be in the wellness

center. Some place that could supervise
her medication.

Exactly. I just don't want to die alone
in a hospital.

That's no sin.

No one said that it was.

Mrs. Palmer, this is Alex Smith. He's a
student physician here.

How are you feeling today?

Foolish.

How are you feeling?

Oh, a little afraid.

Me too.

I'm not going to let them take you back
there.

And I'm not going to let them put you
back in that group home either.

I promise.

I promise.

You want to reset that?

Every time I see it, I duck.

We're calling it Mob World.

You got a better name.

Gangland. I like it.

Hello, Gangland. What time would you
like your hijacking?

Pretty good.

Not bad. This is primo, techno, cutting
-edge virtual reality. And what you've

seen is only the demo.

Players will be able to pick and choose
from any city and period they like.

Excuse me. May I make a suggestion?

You can make any kind of suggestion you
like, Henry.

Well, you should make it historical,
like... Have a virtual reality St.

Valentine's Day massacre.

That's good.

Murder, Inc.'s a real classic.

And since we're in L .A., why don't we
have Bugsy Siegel getting rubbed out in

Beverly Hills?

You really know your history, don't you?

Yeah. You getting this down?

Yes, every word.

Oh, all right. Well, you have to have...
Joey Gallo getting hit right outside of

Humberto's Clam House.

And you must definitely have to recreate
Paul Castellano's most unfortunate

encounter with John Gotti right outside
of Spark Steakhouse.

Can you do that?

We can do anything.

Well, you made a believer out of me.

It was your daughter's idea.

Well, that's right, Tricia. You should
give credit where credit's due.

What do I need credit for?

You don't.

What you've got to do is break ground,
and fast.

Yeah, competition's incredible.

There are at least a dozen other
companies. I mean, don't get me wrong,

the best.

Best is no good unless you're first.

Exactly. Want to show Petty Old Man a
little visit?

You don't have to. Hey, you don't be
telling anyone.

You went out there already.

No, I didn't.

Don't lie to me.

You know I was going to give you enough.

Now, you go to hell.

This is mine.

Let's go.

Um, can I just talk to you about some
details?

We've got a default, huh?

Boy, I tell you that Dion is a
completely different kid when he's

Thanks, we understand each other.

Yeah, it's like you guys had an instant
bond.

That's because we've been through some
of the same things.

What are you talking about? Your parents
are great.

Yeah,

I was lucky.

You know what they say, you can't choose
your parents.

Actually, my parents chose me.

What?

Um, Jesse.

I was a foster child myself.

Why didn't you ever tell me? Well, I
haven't told a lot of people. You know,

it's not that I'm embarrassed about it.
It's just not something you go around

just telling anybody.

Wow.

I mean, here I thought you had it easy
the whole time.

I mean, not that I don't know how hard
you worked to become a doctor and an M

.E. and a single mom. Does it make a
difference?

I don't know. You tell me.

Got an order for a Lukaszewski?

Yeah, coming right up.

Chester, I need to talk to you.

Chester, it's okay. I'm here, too.

Chester?

Oh, no.

He's been shot.

Is he dead?

Why would anybody kill Chester Chumley?

I'd hate to think it was to stop him
from donating the property.

What are you talking about?

Well, it turns out Community General
wasn't the only party interested in this

land.

You have any idea who might have killed
your uncle?

None.

Was he having a dispute with anyone?

Insurance company, maybe, every time
they raise the rates.

Of course, when an insurance company
wants to kill somebody, they don't use a

gun.

What about a business partner?

Chester never had any.

Women? He had any of them. He kept it
quiet.

Who inherits?

I do.

The way I hear it, this has suddenly
become a very valuable piece of

You call me a suspect?

I guess it's my job to ask questions,
Lucas.

Fine. Ask.

I hear there's a woman who wants to buy.

That's right.

And there's also your father. He wants
this place, too.

I know about the wellness center.

Just because Chester was going to give
this place away doesn't mean I'm going

to.

So are you going to sell?

Stop pressing me. I didn't say that.

I love my uncle.

We all did.

Look, Lucas, I just need to know her
name.

Maya somebody.

Wait a second.

Give me the number for some lawyer.

Why would I kill an old man?

So he wouldn't donate his land to the
hospital. That's pure speculation.

That's motive.

What about the kid? Now there's a man
with a motive.

Look, Lucas may be a hothead, but he's
not a killer.

Oh.

Oh, I see how this works. You know
Lucas, so he couldn't have done it. But

businesswoman from out of town? No,
there's a different story entirely.

He's still on the suspect list.

So are you.

Do you have one piece of evidence
against my client?

Does she have an alibi? Of course not.
Pushing expeditions over.

Not another word.

Mark, I am so sorry about Chester. Oh,
Chester.

You know, he always sounded so gruff. He
was a pussycat.

Well, he spent his life making kids
happy.

I hear you've been doing a little of
that yourself.

Dion. Mark,

you should have seen his face when I
told him I was a foster child.

He gave me this look like a foster child
can't have a good life.

That's nonsense.

Of course it's nonsense, but if all you
know is being abandoned and unloved,

then that's your reality.

Guess I never thought of you that way.

That's because two extraordinary people
changed my life. And I want to do that

for Dion.

Well, you're well on your way to that.

Giving it a lot of thought.

And I really want to do this, Mark. I
want to foster him.

Does C .J. know about that?

We talked about it last night.

What did he say?

He got very serious.

And then he put on his best grown -up
face.

And he said, Mom, you know, I've always
wanted a younger brother.

But now that I've thought about it, I've
decided an older brother would be even

better.

Such a wonderful kid.

You know, the truth of the matter is
that C .J. really doesn't know what he's

getting himself into, but I believe that
we will be able to handle this

together. Oh, of course you will.

Listen, if you ever need any help...
There is something you can help me with.

Even in emergency circumstances like
this one, the Department of Children and

Family Services insists that they
approve me as a legal guardian, and I

hoping you'd be my character witness.

You tell me when and where I'll be
there.

Bad news and worse news.

What's the bad news?

We have no hard evidence of Chester's
murder.

What's the worse news?

I don't think Lucas has any desire to
donate his land.

I wish there was something I could do.

I think the best thing for us to do
right now is just leave him alone.

You know, there is one favor.

Anything. Except I'm not taking your
turn cleaning that grill.

You said anything.

Remember the guy that fell in here?

I'm telling you, Steve, that wasn't our
fault.

My dad treated him.

And he'll tell you that his blood
alcohol level was .17.

He doesn't have to tell me anything.

Our insurance adjuster was out here.

You mind making sure that my dad has a
conversation with him?

Yeah, no problem.

I mean, I'd do it myself, but you were
here when it happened. Besides, I got a

grill to clean.

I'm impressed.

You trying to flatter me?

No, I'm just admiring your swing.

Not bad for a man who hasn't played in
20 years.

Not bad at all.

Well, you know what they say is like
riding a bicycle. Once you have that

stroke, you just fall right back into
the rhythm again.

Are you okay? You look... Give me a
little room here, will you, Sam?

Your jester was out to see you.

The adjuster? You know, about that
little matter which was not our fault.

didn't have anything to do with that.

He wants to hear that from you.

Personally?

You're the man.

The man does not go to the joint.

No, he's going to come to you.

Then I got no problem.

You sound funny.

What? I said you sound funny.

Why don't you go tell that to the
adjuster?

Why would I do that?

You're his messenger, aren't you?

Is he really out already?

Yeah, he finished in no time.

Nobody spends more time in the joint
than they have to, do they, Fred?

No, he's done with the place.

Aren't we all?

Yes.

Amanda.

Absolutely.

I'll be there for the interview.

Tomorrow morning, fourth floor
conference room, 10 o 'clock.

No, you don't have to remind me. I'll be
there.

All right. Bye.

You know, this is the second time you've
called me out here and you weren't

prepared. Yes, I know, and I apologize.
I don't know what could have happened to

Mark. It isn't like him. He's always on
time.

Well, that would be a first for a
physician, in my experience.

Well, you must believe that Dr.

Sloan is very respectful of your time.

Maybe he was suddenly called into
emergency surgery.

Yeah, so sudden that he couldn't walk
down the hall or pick up a phone.

Well, if a life were at stake... Well,
it is. There is a life at stake.

That of a foster child.

Are you really sure that you have the
time and the energy to protect that

life, Dr. Bentley?

Absolutely.

Okay.

You get in touch with your Dr. Sloan,
and you contact me. We'll make another

talk. Thank you.

Okay. Just so you know, if Dr.

Sloan does this again, your application
will not be accepted.

I figured it was his day off.

He's not in the house, but his car's in
the driveway.

Thought he might have been out on the
beach.

All right, Amanda, let me call you back,
okay?

You know, this is not like Mark.

He was acting really weird yesterday.

He told me that he hated barbecue bobs,
and he called it a joint.

That just isn't Mark.

And it's almost as if he didn't
recognize me. Something is wrong, I feel

Dr. Travis, can I talk to you for a
minute?

Yeah. Is there a problem with Mrs.
Palmer?

No. Can I talk to you in private?

Go ahead. I'll catch up with you if
anything changes.

What's the matter?

I just got a call from Burlington.

My father had a heart attack.

Why? Is he all right?

So far, so good.

So typical.

Has he had heart attacks before?

No, he has crises.

The day of my SATs.

Dad was cleaning out the gutters, fell
and broke both legs.

The day of my college graduation, Dad
smashed up the car on the way to the

ceremony.

Now this.

Nobody plans a heart attack.

No, of course not.

The good news is that they can do an
angioplasty.

That really diminishes the danger.

The question is, should I go?

You know, I figure there's no direct
flight.

It's one day there, another day back.
You know, two days with them.

The worst thing that happens is you
repeat the rotation.

No, the worst thing that can happen
is...

You know, Mrs. Palmer.

You know, I kind of feel like she's my
first real patient, you know?

Like I'm kind of responsible.

Look, you've been really great with Mrs.
Palmer, but... I know she's Dr. Sloan's

patient.

But he doesn't have the time that I do.

Listen, it's your decision.

I promised her that I would be there and
look in on her every day.

She may not have that many days left.

I want to keep that promise.

Amanda, when's the last time you spoke
with my father?

Step outside a minute, okay?

Just so you understand, it was this or
kill you.

Well, I guess I should be grateful for
small favors.

Don't think I won't finish the job.

I take each other one in charge here.

Finally. Now you're beginning to
understand.

Well, I think I am.

This is about Ponyland.

What a surprise.

It's not like I was going to cut you
out.

Oh, I don't think I want a partnership
with you.

You've made that very clear.

You can't think you're going to get away
with this. The police have you marked

as the number one suspect in a murder.

You're the one that killed Chester
Chumley.

Me?

Well, somebody's making a big mistake
around here.

That's true.

And it's you.

What? If you didn't kill him and I
didn't kill him, who killed him?

Well, I don't know. Maybe the butler did
it.

You're a very confused young lady.

Sometimes I wish I could kill you.

I really do.

Are you alright?

Yeah, yeah.

Well, what happened?

Nothing yet.

Did you forget about this morning?

What are you talking about? This morning
I was hitting golf balls on the beach.

Golf balls? I told them you had a
medical emergency.

Do I look sick to you?

No, you look just fine.

You're the one with the problem.

You know, I don't think I know you
anymore.

You never did.

Didn't I tell you I was coming?

Yeah. Good.

How you doing, Pook?

Pook? I'm here to cheer you up.

You know, you're the second young lady
to come here.

Just be quiet and follow me.

Boss gets kidnapped. He gets a package.

You or me would be shot.

Miss, I really appreciate the attention,
but I have got to get out of here. Yes,

you do.

Can you help me?

I'm way ahead of you, Pook.

Wait, why do you keep calling me Pook?

These are the keys to the Mercedes
sitting on the driveway.

I would have posted a guard.

Of course, I would have never let me in
here, especially if I was trying to keep

you here against your will.

Now, the minute you hear me scream, out
the window and run.

I can't do that.

I happen to know you're in excellent
physical condition.

Yes, I am, thank you, but I can't leave
you here with them.

Oh, believe me, they're not going to
hurt me. They wouldn't dare.

Are you certain of that?

You don't have to worry about me, Pook.

Now remember, listen for this scream.

Hold that thought, Pookie.

I'll be right back with some drinks.

What's that?

And then he said he was out playing golf
wearing these ridiculous sunglasses.

That's what he was wearing when I saw
him play. He was great.

I don't know. Mark's never been
irresponsible like this before.

Well, golf can make fools of us all.

What do you got?

Patience unconscious with a bullet wound
to the shoulder. BP 90 over 50.

Oh, my God. Is that Mark?

There are no bone fractures.

Lungs well expanded.

I can see the bullet.

You ready?

I'm ready.

Knife?

I hope so.

Let's get the bullet out of there.

Jesse. Hey.

How's Mark?

Oh, he's going to be fine. There's
nothing to it. Routine, really.

An intern could have done it.

I've never been so scared in my life.

Oh, Mark.

I was so mad at you.

But I knew that you wouldn't just not
show up unless there was an emergency.

And I just feel like you're involved in
some kind of an investigation you don't

want me to know about, because you
really haven't been yourself, you know,

lately.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that
I'm sorry.

I was so scared when they wheeled you
through emergency, and all I could think

about were all the bad things I said
about you, and you have to know I didn't

mean it, and I hope that you can forgive
me.

Mark.

Mark, you are...

friend that i have who are

you what

did i miss a semi -detached

fingertip that i was able to suture a
woman who passed out with dehydration

a two -year -old with chicken pox sounds
like you got everything under control

how's your dad Good.

Angioplasty went perfect, so it looks
like I made the right decision.

And she was convinced she had kidnapped
her own father.

Just so I've got this straight, the
woman who kidnapped you admitted she's

Ponyland, but deny her shooting Chester?

Yeah. She sounded smart, but she wasn't
really.

The one who was smart was the blonde.
She was playing dumb, but she was very,

very smart.

She helped me escape.

Amanda.

You're in her.

You don't happen to know who's trying to
kill her, do you?

You were supposed to keep an eye on him.

My heel broke.

I can't help it if my heel broke.

Sure it did, right after you handed him
the keys to your Mercedes.

He must have picked my pocket.

I don't think that has pockets.

The pocket in my back, Lily.

You think this is romantic, don't you?

You think this is some kind of gangster
movie.

Mall helps mobster escape daughter's
lair. If you put it that way.

Where? Is he all right? Is that about my
father?

If I could have just a little bit of
quiet.

Say it again.

Thank you.

Your father's been shot.

You see what you've done?

Is he dead?

No, he'll pull through fine.

He didn't even ask.

I shouldn't be the one to ask.

I finally get to meet my doppelganger,
and it turns out to be John Gotti.

Why couldn't it have been another Mozart
or Picasso or somebody?

Well, I guess you can't choose your
double any more than you can choose your

parents. What's that supposed to mean?

Oh, nothing. I'm happy with the one I
have, thank you. You're welcome.

At least we have a charge we can hold
his daughter on.

You gonna arrest her?

Well, not yet, but...

Kidnapping is pretty good leverage.

You know, she seems to think that her
father killed Chester. And you believed

her?

Well, let's just say I want one more
chance to talk to my double.

Okay, I'll have a nurse change that
dressing.

Otherwise, with plenty of fluids and bed
rest, you'll be free to get out of here

in a couple of days.

Get the bullet out, okay?

You're very fortunate.

A few millimeters either way could have
hit an artery.

Not the first time somebody tried to
kill me.

When you were wheeled in here, I could
have sworn you were Mark Sloan.

When you walked through that door, I
thought it was me.

But then I noticed you've got a bigger
nose.

Well, you've got to understand what Mark
means to people around here.

Pretty good doctor, huh?

He's the best.

Yeah. What's his secret?

Well, he listens to people.

Yeah, a man treats a soldier right, he's
going to get loyalty.

Around here, you'll always be known as
the man who looked like Mark Sloan.

So, how's our patient?

Do you look as much like me as I look
like you?

Even a little more so, I think.

It's uncanny.

Jesse, I'd like to have a private word
with our patient.

Yeah, okay, just don't be too long.

You two must have a lot to talk about.

You know, because you're both... You
know, when your daughter kidnapped me,

made quite an accusation.

Would you excuse me a moment?

Go ahead.

Sorry to do this to you, Doc.

I got business to take care of.

Like you said, somebody is trying to
kill us.

And I don't plan on them finding me
here.

Mark!

She's doing fine.

Good. I spoke to the social worker.
She'll be here this afternoon. We'll be

scheduled for 3 p .m. Can you make it?
Absolutely.

Good. Don't get kidnapped. I won't.
Don't worry.

Dr. Sloan.

Well, I've been looking all over for
you. I'm late for an appointment.

Mrs. Palmer needs to see you. I'll get
you later.

It better be now.

All right.

Well,

she's asleep.

No, I'm not.

alone for a moment. Of course.

He's a good young man.

Yes, yes he is.

How are you, my dear?

Dying. Oh, don't say that.

You know it's true.

There's nothing I can do to make you
more comfortable.

You're doing it.

Silly old lady, I know.

Oh, not silly.

Perhaps you could tell me, what is this
bothering you?

I'm afraid.

I'm afraid there's nothing I can
prescribe to cure that.

Then I wouldn't want you to.

I'm only going to die once.

Better to look it straight in the face.

My sentiments, exactly.

You have so many friends, Mark.

You don't know what it's like to outlive
every one of them.

You see, I have one friend.

I don't want to die alone.

You're not alone.

Not as long as I'm here.

Thank you.

You're such a good man.

I don't know what a comfort you are.

There you go.

Crazy pony.

This was deliberately weakened.

Look at that. It's been cut three
quarters of the way through.

What kind of person sets out to hurt
kids?

Someone who doesn't want you in
business.

That's it.

Are you closing down?

I'm staying open.

I'm not giving up this land.

After what just happened, I'd at least
consider closing down for a while.

Let him try. Let anyone try.

It goes for your father as well.

I like this place.

I like seeing kids happy.

Doing good things for me.

Oh, I was so worried I called the
hospital.

Easy, easy.

This is the only place I could think of
to come.

It wouldn't work.

I should have never let you escape.

No, that was the other guy.

What other guy?

The doctor.

No, honey, you escaped. and then you
went to go see a doctor. No, no, that

the other escape.

You're really not yourself at all, are
you?

Baby, this time it's me.

The guy who escaped the first time. That
was... I wasn't.

What kind of pills did they give you in
there?

Wait. Look, you see this? This is Dr.
Sloan, the other guy that looks exactly

like me.

He was the one who... Never mind.

You're not Dr. Sloan right now, are you?

That's right, I'm not.

I am me.

But in the cabin, you were him.

Dr. Sloan, I mean.

Well, you got it.

I knew it.

You did?

Yeah, because the minute I saw you in
the cabin, I knew that you had changed.

How did you know that?

Because the way you looked at me when
you were him.

It's not the way you look at me when
you're you at all.

Yeah.

Mike. client doesn't wish to speak with
you.

She wasn't exactly forthcoming last
time. That's her privilege.

Why didn't one of you tell me who her
father was?

You didn't ask.

She deliberately changed her name to
hide the connection.

She changed her name so she wouldn't be
harassed by people like you.

A good man was killed.

A bad man was nearly killed, and my
father was kidnapped.

That wasn't a kidnapping.

That was a misunderstanding.

Well, that's 25 to life.

For taking her father to the country?

Greg didn't want to take that trip any
more than my father did.

Will Greg testify to that in court?

Paul, we need to change your dressing.

Can you do that?

Yes, I was a Girl Scout.

We need bandages, disinfectant.

I have to go get this stuff.

You stay right here.

I feel better already.

We're not going to do anything until we
change that dressing.

He's at my place.

Do you know the Sunset Shack on PCH?

Good. This time, don't miss.

And then I realized I'd done it again.

I thought I told you about the
interview, but I told him.

Dr. Bentley.

Ms. Hornstein, I'm so glad you're still
here.

I'm Dr. Sloan.

Oh, in the flesh.

I know I have some explaining to do. The
other day I was kidnapped.

And how about this afternoon?

Were you kidnapped today, too?

No. This morning I was knocked out, tied
up, and I was locked in the closet.

Wow. What adventurous lives your doctors
lead.

You get everything?

Yeah. I even picked up your car. The
window's fixed.

Good. You're not going to be mad at me,
are you?

What did you do?

I made a phone call.

Oh, great. I'm in the one safe place,
and now I'm not.

Who? Who did you call?

Your daughter?

She's very, very upset, and she deserves
to know that you're okay.

Tell me what you said exactly.

I told her you weren't missing, and she
said she wants to see you in 15 minutes

at the Sunset Shack.

That's just great.

Right out in the open. Just what I need.

Well, if you're afraid to see your own
daughter, don't show up.

What makes Dr. Bentley an excellent
physician is her understanding that the

emotional well -being of the patient is
every bit as important as the physical

well -being. And she carries that over
into parenting.

She's also a medical examiner. First
grade.

Uh -huh.

Doesn't the time involved get in the way
of her single parenting?

Well, Dr. Bentley's more fortunate than
most single parents.

Her own mother serves as her child care.

And will the mother take on that role
with the foster child as well?

Yes, a very loving one.

How do you know that?

Because she was a foster mother herself.
She raised Dr. Bentley and did a very

good job, I might add.

Dr. Bentley was one of the most
fortunate foster children in the world.

have given the love that she received to
another child.

What more can you ask?

She's not coming.

Oh, come on, guys.

You're not going to make the same
mistake again.

I'm Dr. Sloan.

Look, it says so right here.

It's a nice disguise.

Too bad it won't work.

You're the guy who took a shot at me at
Ponyland, right?

Really, it's strange being mistaken for
a gangster.

Of course, your friends made the same
mistake when they kidnapped me, thinking

was him. No mistake this time.

You don't really think I'm a gangster,
do you, guys?

You're him.

Sure, I'm him, all right. I am Dr.

Sloan.

You do know who you're trying to kill,
don't you?

This is getting so confusing. I'm going
to shoot you, and I'm going to go to the

hospital. I'm going to shoot him.

Just a minute. I've got a better idea.

You get in the car. Keep your guns on
me.

I'll drive straight to the hospital.

If I'm not Dr. Sloan, you're going to
kill me there.

Come on, get in.

Well, I don't know, man.

What do you think?

I

said

I could find you here.

Hey, Lucas.

Anything I can get you? Sure.

License from the city to operate an
amusement.

What, are they shutting you down? Hold
my permit. Said my animals were a

There's nothing wrong with your ponies.
You're being sabotaged. Tell it to City

Hall. I'll go down there with you.
Forget it. No. I said forget it. I also

call from my lawyer. They're a theft in
Ponyland at current market value.

Parents' taxes alone are going to kill
me. Listen, Lucas, let me talk to my

I'll bet you he can talk the hospital
board into paying your taxes.

I'm sure they could.

Why, they may even have an influence
down at City Hall. Put me in a position

where that would look like a very
attractive offer. You're not suggesting

father had something to do with your
license being revoked. It would get him

what he wanted.

Lucas, you know my dad isn't like that.
The only thing I know is my uncle's dead

and you haven't even made an arrest.

We're working on it. I ought to get that
done.

I don't know what you're so nervous
about.

I mean, she can't possibly turn you
down. She can turn anybody down.

Dr. Benton.

Ms. Borenstein, please have a seat.

Okay. Hello.

It certainly was one of the most unique
inquiries I've ever conducted. Please

tell me you have good news.

Oh, I have no doubt that you'll make an
excellent foster parent.

Thank you. If I could just fill out the
paperwork.

Well, it's not going to be quite that
simple.

You just said she was acceptable.

Yes, yes, I did. Well, then what do you
mean?

I just got off the phone with Dion's
current foster parents. They want him

What? He abused them.

I'll testify to that in my professional
capacity as a surgeon.

For that, we need a judge.

Then we'll get one.

Okay, this is the way it will happen. We
go to court.

They begin an investigation. By then,
Dion could be dead.

You cannot put him back in that foster
home.

He needs love and a safe environment.

Yes, so does every child. In fact, I'm
sure that we could find another boy just

as lovely to place in your care.

We're not talking about a pet that can
be replaced.

You can't do this.

Dr. Travis, I asked the boy if his
foster parents had abused him, and he

that they hadn't. Because he was too
terrified to say anything else. Maybe

I... Legally, I have no choice.

I'm sorry.

Sometimes I just hate my job.

You got away again, Trish. Good for him.
Look, you're going to have to find a

way to get back next to him. No. You
took my money. You do the job.

Maya takes him out of circulation.

I put him back in. Greg disappears from
the hospital. I put him in plain sight.

I've done my job.

What do you want, more money? Is that
what you want? I couldn't do this even

I wanted to, Eddie.

You think Greg is stupid?

You think he hasn't figured out that I
set him up?

Look, you are a very beautiful woman
with a very beautiful body. And there's

a bullet hole in it, and I intend to
keep it that way.

Do you think that Greg is the only guy
in town with a gun?

What are you going to shoot me yourself,
Eddie?

Because I got something to tell you.

Those guys you've been hiring haven't
exactly done their job.

Yeah, well, you don't worry about Rick
and Rob, okay? I will take care of Rick

and Rob.

You use the computer, Eddie?

Yeah, I ain't got no need.

I use a computer every day at 4 o
'clock. I got it set up to email Maya,

her every little thing you've been
doing.

I push a button.

Email doesn't go out.

359 comes around.

I'm not there to push a button.

Maya gets the fat.

I'm not an idiot.

Not here.

Be bluffing.

You really want to take that chance,
Eddie?

Seems I've underestimated you, Trish.

Huh, you and the world, Eddie.

Only one person who didn't. Someone who
treated me right.

Yeah, and who might that be?

The doctor.

And we hardly even kissed.

I made the decision not to go.

Well, now I don't have to worry about
him interrupting my life again.

Look, Alex, you can't second -guess
yourself.

Yeah, I'm learning that real fast.

When was the last time you made your
father laugh?

Last Christmas.

I was telling him this story about this
awful date.

When was the last time you made him
proud?

When I got into med school.

Not that he would admit it.

Did he know that you loved him?

I told him just yesterday on the phone.

Sounds to me like he had a pretty good
son.

So why don't you get on a plane and go
home and take care of your mother and

take care of yourself.

Thanks, Jess.

I don't want your money. You'd rather
let the government seize the property.

government didn't kill my uncle. Neither
did I. I don't believe you.

Well, then why don't you call your
friend, the detective?

Go ahead.

But before you do, I'm going to lay
things out nice and simple.

If the government seizes this property,
they'll have an auction.

Sell it to the highest bidder.

So?

That would be my father.

The organized crime guy.

Killing is just everyday business.

I don't know what to do.

Take my money.

Live the rest of your life in comfort.

I'm coming to you directly. I'm not
hiding behind some corporation.

If I'm guilty, the government seizes the
property from me.

The cash we're talking about?

You like 20?

Don't even think about it.

Do as he tells you.

You two leave us alone.

End a little quality time with my
daughter.

You sure this is the right thing to do?

I'm sure I don't have a choice.

I raised a smart daughter.

I take it you closed the deal.

What are you going to do with it?

Build it.

With whose money?

The family's.

Is that why you tried to kill your own
father? For venture capital.

Well, I guess I'm not my father's
daughter after all.

All I could do is shoot your tire.

That's so damn funny.

Wasn't my tire.

It was the doctor's.

More fool me.

Got to hand it to you for the two
surfers, though.

I never saw them coming.

What surfers?

Oh, just a couple of hours ago.

That wasn't me. I didn't try to kill
you.

That wasn't me.

I didn't know.

Don't talk.

Get the car!

Get him into the OR right away.

Didn't I just take a bullet out of you?
There you go, quick. We'll knock.

Paul's weak. He's lost a lot of blood.
How bad is it?

How bad?

It's very.

Stop this damn car. We've got to get you
to surgery.

And what good is that going to do? Don't
say that. You'll be okay.

Not this time.

You shouldn't be talking.

There's some things that Maya has to
hear.

I'm going to go scrub.

Don't you die like I'm dying.

They're not dying.

Don't be a fool, I hear better.

You dare to bring him up now?

I had nothing to do with his death. It
was Eddie.

You allowed it to happen.

I was in prison. I didn't know it was
over.

Eddie did it on his own? And you let him
live, remain in our family?

It was that poor.

He would have been drawn into it.

Promise me.

One member of the family dies a natural
death.

Get him prepped at one scrub up.

Hey, Doc Sloan, you

with me?

I'm right here.

Dr. Travels will be performing the
surgery.

BP is 80 over 40.

You know, there for a couple of hours, I
was you.

Don't worry, you'll be yourself in no
time.

No, I won't.

I'll tell you something, though.

People are always afraid of me.

You.

You that give respect.

65 over 25.

I need two more units of whole blood.
Pump some volume into him.

He didn't make it, did he?

I'm sorry.

If we did everything we could.

That should have been me in there.

I think you better tell me what
happened.

As a police consultant, don't you need
to read me my rights?

We only do that when we make an arrest,
which we may have to do.

My lawyer's name is Robert Lamont.

Your father just died trying to protect
you. He didn't want you to follow in his

footsteps, but you're going to if you
don't tell us who shot him.

Well, that would be Eddie Michaels,
longtime associate of my and her

Witnesses also placed Mr. Michaels in
the vicinity of Ponyland when Chester

Chumley was shot.

You mean my father didn't kill Chester?

We'll send a bullet to kill your father
to ballistics.

If it matches the one that killed
Chester, I'd say Eddie's our man.

We'll seal it into your testimony.

I can't do that. He'll have me killed.

Well, if you don't, he'll come after you
himself.

Damned if I do, and damned if I don't.

All I've been trying to do is go
legitimate.

What, with gangland?

A theme park about killing?

How important is it, anyway?

Today, not very.

Yesterday, it was the most important
thing in the world.

You make it sound like it may never
happen.

You make it sound like you want to make
a deal.

We both have a problem here. I may have
a solution.

Try me.

What if I could get Eddie without
involving you publicly at all?

And I wouldn't have to testify?

He would never know you had anything to
do with it.

What do you want in return?

I want Ponyland deeded over to this
hospital.

That's an expensive proposition.

Well, whoever said legitimacy was cheap?

Dion, I'm so sorry.

But I'm going to call you every single
day, all right?

And I want you to call me, too.

Here.

Day or night, doesn't matter what the
reason, just call me.

Sweetie, this isn't over.

I promise.

Like you promised before?

I have no right to do that. Right has
nothing to do with it.

I've been through the system. I know how
it works.

You'd think with all that's happened,
the system would change.

There's a half a million kids in the
system. They're barely able to survive.

What are you going to do?

I'm going to try to change the rules.

That's not going to help Dion.

It doesn't.

And right now the rules say he has to go
back.

If that's the case, why play by the
rules?

What, you expect me to sit around the
hospital and wait for you to finish me

off? I can't believe you're still
breathing.

Well, you did your best.

Fortunately, I was wearing a Kevlar
vest.

Left a hell of a bruise, though.

Well, you can't have everything, can
you?

Look, you and me, we need to sit.

Is your daughter going to be a part of
this?

No, no, just the two of us. I don't want
her even to know we're talking.

And if I say no?

Look, Eddie, you've got to ask yourself
this question.

Do either one of us want to walk around
the rest of our life looking over our

shoulders? I spent my whole life looking
at your back.

Look, we've got to get this whole thing
out in the open.

You know, settle this misunderstanding.

Yeah, and what misunderstanding is that?

You, me, gangland, all of it.

So where does this fit take place?

How about my beach house?

Please don't insult me.

Okay, okay.

Public place, then.

All right, I'll tell you what.

Why don't we settle this over a nice,
friendly game of golf?

Gee, I haven't played golf in years.

Okay, pal.

Whatever your pleasure is.

You are one tough son of a gun.

Hey, you ought to know. You shot me.

All right, tomorrow at 3 o 'clock, tee
off.

And, uh, Greg.

I don't need to worry about no extra
itineraries now, do I?

Hey, hey, Eddie, you're talking to me.

Three o 'clock?

Okay. You should never have agreed to
the golf.

Oh, you know how to do this more often.

The idea is to hit the ball straight,
Dad.

Well, I just, I gotta make a few little
adjustments, that's all.

You have to spread your feet further
apart.

Okay. Actually, I think you're supposed
to keep them spread evenly with your

shoulders. All right.

How did Greg stand?

Shoulders. How good was this guy?

250 yards, straight up the middle.

Oh. Dad, just concentrate on keeping
your left arm straight. You know what

you're doing? You're encouraging
overthinking. You have to go for the

swing, like Greg's. It was a thing of
beauty.

Well, you know, his swing would have
suffered, too. He was shot.

You're right, Dad. Just forget about the
swing.

Look, you got to get Eddie to admit to
either murder. Doesn't matter which one.

Right. Now, you're going to be able to
hear me no matter where I am on the

course. Yeah, we'll fix you up with the
latest technology.

Just concentrate on getting a clear
admission of guilt.

Right.

And that swing of yours.

Hi, Dion.

What do you want?

I want to talk with your foster parents.

Oh, you're the doctor lady?

That's right.

Yeah, well, why don't you just get the
hell off of my front porch before I call

the police?

I wish you would.

So we could start a full -scale
investigation into child abuse.

Oh.

And who are you going to get to testify?

Dion? Dion won't have to. His x -rays
will speak quite eloquently for him.

That's going to be my word against the x
-rays.

I don't think you know what you're
getting yourself into.

Well, I'm sure you're going to tell me.
First of all, social services will

conduct their own investigation.

Then you'll have psychologists in and
out of your house. And the police will

have a lot of questions.

How's your boss going to like it when
they show up on your job site?

They wouldn't do that.

Oh, I'll make sure that they do.

In fact, your life is going to be a
living hell.

Walter's not a bad man.

He just gets angry.

I don't need for you to defend me, all
right? Is that supposed to be an excuse?

We need the money.

Ma 'am, money is no reason to raise a
child.

Look, lady, this kid is not worth your
effort.

I love him already.

The two of you are more trouble than
it's worth.

I'll call social services in the morning
time.

No.

I will take him now.

You take the stuff that you came with
and only the stuff you came with.

You understand me?

Hey.

Thought this was private.

It is. You already met the boys.

Oh. Man, you actually have me convinced
you're the doctor.

One slick move.

How do you know I wasn't the doctor?

How do I know you're not the doctor now?

Pat him down.

Something's not right here, dude.

Ah, Greg, you disappoint me.

Lift his shirt.

You can take the bandage off if you
don't mind getting a little blood on

shoes. Hey, you know what? I apologize,
truly. For a moment there, I thought

actually you were the doctor.

He wouldn't be out here with you.

After you.

Where's the wire?

It's under the bandage.

What happened to your game?

I got shot, Eddie.

As a matter of fact, I like to stroke a
hole just for the bullet.

It's only fair.

But it's that you're the one who shot
me.

Hey, look, I'm already giving you the
handicap, all right? Don't bust my

He didn't say that he didn't kill him.

Yeah, but he didn't say he did.

Will you look at that?

All right, I'm taking the penalty.

Eddie, just out of curiosity, tell me my
daughter didn't shoot the old man.

You can rest your heart. She had nothing
to do with it.

You would know.

Hey, let's just say it came from an
authoritative source.

Look, she wants to go legit, let her go
legit.

What she wants is all the gangland.

Never gonna happen.

Says who?

Look, you shot the guy.

You shot me?

Now's no good time to go into a business
venture. People are looking.

Hey, not at me.

Were you hiring out of the bunker?

You sure you didn't take a bullet to the
head?

Well, it's a little trick I picked up.

Dad, it's about murder, not golf.

So tell me, what are you offering?

You leave her alone.

I turn over all my East Coast interests.

And what are you going to do?

Play doctor.

Sure can't play golf.

Once upon a time, you could think that.

Let's not count me out just yet.

A thousand says you're not the man I
once knew.

You're on.

I put a bullet in you and you still get
an eagle?

Bingo.

All right, we got him on tape.

When my father's clear, move in.

Roger that.

I know that guy. He's a cop.

Get him!

You're under arrest for murder.

How could it be murder? I just played
golf with a guy.

That's my father. Who?

The doctor.

I should have known.

Greg would have never let his game
deteriorate that bad.

So what happened to Samaya?

She goes free.

Yeah, the only real damage she did was
to my car.

And she cooperated. The D .A. was
willing to give her a second chance.

just hope she takes it.

You know, I still can't figure out how
you did it.

Did what?

Dunked that putt.

That was easy.

I just planted my feet shoulder width
apart, concentrated on that swing, and I

let my doppelganger do it.

So you channeled Greg on the golf
course? That was it. We just let him

swing.

Those two look like they're having a
good time out there.

Yep. You know, while you were playing
golf with the gangsters, social services

made it official.

I'm going to be Dion's foster mom.

Oh, that's great.

You know, CJ always wanted a brother,
and I think Dion's going to work out

fine. Oh, it will.

Steve, you want to go ride again?

You're going to have a little sore.
