Previously on Diagnosis Murder...

Go,

go, go, go, go, go!

Listen, Schroeder, this isn't easy, but
I don't have any choice.

So you think you found some dirty cops?

I got two words for you guys.

Steve Sloan.

Come on, man, that boy scout.

Schroeder, you say you want him? Yeah,
you could deal me in for, uh, I don't

know, maybe... How about an equal share?

Schroeder!

There's a body on the floor in the
bathroom.

Looks like he's been shot.

That's him.

I saw him go in there just before I
heard the shot.

They say it was your gun that killed
Schroeder. Uh -huh.

Did they also mention that the money
that was stolen from the evidence room

found in my locker?

I don't believe this.

Oh, at least you know it was one of
those four police officers, because any

of them could have had access to your
locker.

I found something.

I know this name.

What? T.

Raffanti. Listen, you, um, ever see
Tommy Raffanti around?

Uh, yeah, he's still around. You looking
for him?

Hey, Tommy, a friend of mine said you
knew a cop named Schroeder.

Your friend's misinformed.

I don't know any cops.

A little advice?

You don't need a friend with that kind
of trouble.

Getting involved could be very
unhealthy.

You know what I mean.

Jack.

What a surprise.

Here.

I was just leaving.

Oh, yeah.

You two used to go out together.

Yeah, a long time ago.

Wait a minute.

What's this?

Is that Schroeder's?

He didn't have it on the last time I saw
him.

And it's not mine.

Why would I want to kill Schroeder?

Because he's had an affair with your
wife.

I told you I wasn't very good.

You're going to play being a detective.

Perhaps you'd better learn.

Detective, you know someone named Tommy
Raponte?

No. Why, should I?

Well, he might have had something to do
with Detective Schroeder's death.

You want to know why Schroeder was
killed?

Ask your son.

Oh, I did.

That's how I found out about Schroeder's
private file.

Who's there?

Dr. Sloan.

You all right?

So far.

Whoever shot up this place must have
went out the back before we got here.

Well, who are you?

We came to take you with us.

My father insisted that all his children
learn to play something besides the

horses.

You still play very well, Gus.

He used to play pretty good. Not like
you.

Come on.

Come on. Come on. I'm going to take the
left hand. Let's go.

Tommy said you had some problems.

Your men may have saved my life, Gus.

How have you been?

I'm glad you asked me.

I have got a pain in my side.

It's killing me.

I just thought maybe you might... Pull
up your shirt.

Okay, let's have a look here.

You know, I wouldn't trust anybody else
but you to look at me, Doc.

Isn't that what I always say, Tommy? He
always says that.

This is the guy that pulled five slugs
out of me, then patched me up as good as

new. Tommy's heard that story. I like
that story.

Yeah, it's right here.

You wouldn't bring me over here just for
a house call, would you, Gus?

I heard that Charlie Stewart's boy was
down at Bruno's, snooping around, asking

questions about Tommy Raffanti.

Now, Tommy is very important to me.

Jack was there at my request, Gus.

I'm kind of up against it. My son,
Steve, has been framed for the murder of

fellow officer.

Well, I haven't heard anything about the
killing.

What do you know about this, Tommy?

News to me.

You see, I try not to get involved with
the day -to -day stuff anymore.

That's why I have people working for me,
you know?

You think this could be my liver?

Liver's on the other side.

You see, when Charlie Stewart got sick
the first time, he asked me to take care

of his kid. And then you came to me and
told me Jack could be a great doctor.

So because I trust your word and it's a
favor to Charlie...

I invested in the kid. Good investment,
Gus. He is a great doctor.

I don't want to see my investment
wasted.

Jack's better off if he sticks to
medicine.

As you found out today, this is serious
business.

You can put your shirt in.

What is it? I mean, I can take it.

Well, medically speaking, Gus, you are
suffering from distension of the

Give that to me in English.

Gus, stay away from the sausage and the
peppers.

Okay, stand by.

Roll tent.

Three, two, one.

Reporting from Community General
Hospital, this is Ed Green, and I'm here

Dolores Mitchell, the shop steward with
the Nurses Union.

Dolores, how are the negotiations
progressing?

We've made our counterproposals, but the
hospital refuses to respond.

So we ask you... Dr.

Sloan, could you comment?

She's not finished.

I'm not finished. I have a prepared
statement. She has a prepared statement.

Doctor, what is the strike effect on the
hospital so far?

Well, the doctors and the interns, of
course, are trying their best to fill

but we're very shorthanded. We have had
to cancel all of our surgeries. So we

ask you, who suffers? The patient.

What exactly is the position of the
hospital?

Well... On the one hand, the cold hard
fact is that this hospital is out of

money. But on the other hand, we have...
If they're so broke, then why do they

approve that new parking structure right
over there?

And so, ladies and gentlemen, as you
have just seen, this bitter labor

has now escalated into physical
violence.

I can't talk now.

I'm working.

All right.

Show me some corsages.

What are you, getting engaged?

Yeah, someday.

You shouldn't have come back to the
neighborhood, Jack.

You don't belong here anymore.

There's something I got to tell you.
Yeah, well, I don't want to hear it.

I'm going to tell you anyway.

Tom, you're fine. You could be in a lot
of trouble. Would you keep your voice

down? Then talk to me.

May I help you?

No, thank you. I'm just looking.

Is it okay if I take my break now, Mr.
Landers? Go ahead.

Okay, so what's this about Tommy?

What about Tommy?

He's up to his neck at crooked cops.

Look, Tommy doesn't discuss his business
with me, and I don't ask.

Maybe it's time you did.

What do you care about what I think
about Tommy or anything else?

Last time I saw you was so long, Joshi,
I'm going to med school. It doesn't mean

I stop caring about you.

Sure.

You never even called me.

I'm sorry. I should have.

Not a phone call, not a birthday card,
nothing.

I waited a year for you, Jack.

A whole year.

And then why, you started seeing Tommy
Rifanti, right?

Let me tell you something, Josie. What
this guy's involved in could put an

innocent man in jail.

He's no good.

Yeah? Well, he's good to me. And that's
all I care.

I wouldn't believe that.

All right, look, forget about this.

Josie, look, I need you to help me, all
right?

I need you to call me.

If you hear anything,

About a cop named Schroeder who got
killed.

Okay?

Don't come around again, Jack.

You're not going to hit me with that,
are you?

You're not making this easy.

You know, if you'd give me just one more
minute.

I would have said something like, on the
other hand, the nurses are right.

I know. That's why I'm here.

You forgiving me?

You forgive me first?

Dolores, all is forgiven.

Look at that.

These things all crooked.

You never were any good with bandages.
You're right about that.

Hey, why don't you stay for dinner?
Steve and Jack are here.

Thanks. Gotta go. There's a rally
tonight.

And people afraid of losing their jobs
need a lot of support.

You take care of yourself.

You too.

Thanks for the cake.

I tell him to be careful and he almost
gets himself killed.

You're talking about me?

No. My father would never put himself in
that position.

So what did you find out?

Well, from what I overheard Michaels
tell Raffante, these guys are planning

move some goods.

What kind and where?

I have no idea.

All I know is they're going to do it in
less than 24 hours.

That doesn't give us much time.

You mean that doesn't give me much time?

Wait a minute.

Look, I am through sitting around.

What the hell do we do now?

There's still a few guys I can trust at
the precinct. I'll just call in a couple

of favors.

Like what?

Like what their work schedule is
tomorrow.

Right. Their work schedule becomes our
work schedule.

Better follow him inside.

All right. Where are you going to be?

Well, they spot me, I'll back you up.

Hey, you bring him?

Right here.

Just like you asked.

Hey, can we talk, will you?

What's in the case? Some heavy
firepower.

I don't get it.

Why a bread truck?

Let's just hope we can find out.

Did the police ever locate that stolen
truck?

No, they got it stashed away someplace.

Sure as hell wish I knew why they would
want to steal a bread truck.

Can't figure out what the other ones are
doing.

You know, I'll bet you that Schroeder
somehow got wind of it and wanted to be

cut in.

For which he was murdered.

Either that or one of the detectives
decided this might be a convenient time

settle an old score.

Of course, the question remains, what
are they up to?

And where does this, uh...

Tommy Raffati, where does he fit in?
That's a good question.

Where's Jack, by the way?

Hey.

I gotta talk to you.

Why did you have to come back? My life
was going just fine.

Listen to me.

Something big is going down today, and I
gotta know what it is.

How would I know? I told you. Tommy
keeps me out of his business.

He can't keep you out of this.

It's just too big.

It's too dirty.

Son, I don't want to see you get hurt,
Josie.

Now, for your own good, tell me what you
know.

I'm not sure what Tommy's doing. Damn
it. Come on.

I heard him on the phone talking to
someone about some money coming in for

Benedict from the coast.

Tommy said he could use it.

That's all I know.

Thank you.

Sorry.

For what?

The way things turned out.

It was something.

I was crazy to leave you.

Yeah.

You are.

Phone calls?

Hello to you, too.

You expecting a call?

Any minute.

Do you have any aspirin? My head's
pounding.

Yeah, yeah, I'll get it.

There's your call.

Hello.

Yeah, what's up?

Don't worry about it. It's gonna happen
just like we planned.

Money's on its way.

When your ink goes down, all hell's
gonna break loose.

And I'll be holding the ransom money.

Okay?

Yeah.

Padre, a word.

Oh, Norman, I was going to call you.
Listen, Dolores tells me that you

offer a compromise.

Not me, amigo, the board.

They told me that downsizing is like
death.

It's final.

Their jobs no longer exist.

Well, then there's nothing Dolores and
her nurses can do.

Except get me fired.

The nurses think I'm behind this
debacle. Every one of them hates me. If

up to me, and believe me, I would give
them everything they want, but it isn't.

Well, then you know what I'd do, Norman?

I'd walk right out there and tell them.

You would? Oh, yes. I know these nurses.
They'll understand.

You see that I'm sincere? Maybe they'll
stop yelling at me, shaking their fists,

and trampling on the lawn.

Give them a chance, Norman.

All right.

All right. I'll do it.

You want a good idea?

Uh -huh.

Talk faster and keep moving?

I guess not.

Dad?

Dad? Oh, I'm sorry, Steve. What did you
say?

I checked with the duty officer. All
four are off duty.

Whatever they're doing, it goes down
today.

Guys, hold on to your shorts.

My source just called me. She overheard
Tommy Raffanti talking with somebody

about ransom money.

And whatever's happening is going down
today at one o 'clock.

That's it.

It's been right in front of our faces
the whole time.

It's got to be a kidnapping.

All right, but who would they want to
kidnap?

Somebody close to Rafati.

Somebody that's worth a lot to the
organization.

You think they're going to kidnap Gus
Benedict?

It's got to be.

Mr. Rafati, how you doing? Just fine,
Ben. Where'd they feel? Look, Mr.

called. He's on his way. How's this look
to you, sir?

Perfect.

Thanks. Thank you, sir.

Mr. Benedict, how

are

you? I'm good.

Tell me.

You been waiting long?

No, I just got here.

Anybody moves, Benedict's dead.

They'll be hearing from us.

The bakery says they deliver here every
day at one o 'clock.

Yeah, and Gus Benedict eats here all the
time.

Gentlemen, can I help you?

Where's Gus?

Couldn't make it.

You shouldn't be here.

I have to see you again.

This is never going to work.

I know.

Gus Benedict's been kidnapped.

Tommy has to deliver three million
dollars or else I'll kill him.

Don't worry.

Tommy's going to do it.

Josie, you don't know.

You don't understand.

Tommy is in on it.

Oh, no. Tommy would never do anything to
hurt Judge Benedict.

Think about it.

Tommy knew about the ransom money in
advance.

He set the whole thing up.

You've got to get away from this guy.

I can't.

You can.

Walk out of here with me now.

It's too late.

I couldn't leave Tommy now even if I
wanted to.

I don't know what happened to her, Mark.

I really don't.

Well, whatever it was, Jack, it wasn't
your fault.

Sometimes life makes medicine look like
an exact science.

I don't know. Maybe, um... Maybe if I
did things differently, you know?

Oh, we're all geniuses when it comes to
hindsight.

You've got to give Vickers and those
guys credit.

Careful.

It's a perfect crime.

Kidnap a crime boss.

Nobody will report it. Nobody will call
in the FBI. It's just pay up or else.

What are the news about that bread
truck?

Yeah, they picked it up across town.
There wasn't a clue on it.

I tried to locate our four detectives,
but get this.

All four are supposedly off on a fishing
trip up north.

This whole scheme is so buttoned up that
no one on the street even knows

Benedict is missing.

Well, I hate to say this, gentlemen, but
looks like we got a whole lot of

nothing.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

Who was it that said that a kidnapping
is a play in three acts?

The first act is the abduction.

Second act is the negotiation.

The third act, the exchange.

Now, for Fonte, it's really double
-crossing.

Gus Benedict, apparently he is.

Then he has got to live out this little
charade right to the final curtain.

Do you think Captain Greenwood would
help you out if you spoke to him?

Depends on what you have in mind.

If we can get Raffante just to make one
slip, we'll know who

killed Schroeder.

Yeah Yeah, I know that

Unbelievable. You're supposed to be off
fishing and SOB Greenwood still pages

me.

Oh, friends here.

Mr. Benedict, you should be happy to
know that you're worth so much money to

your friends.

Got all of it?

Better believe it.

Three million.

Fresh from the coast. Anybody follow
you?

If they did, they saw me drop off the
suitcases just like we planned.

And all they got for the trouble was a
lot of newspaper.

Everyone was so freaked out they didn't
expect anything.

Check this out, boys.

Not bad for a few days' work.

Nice.

What about Benedict?

What about Benedict?

I held up on my end of the bargain.

Unfortunately, the kidnappers, they
double -crossed us. They took the money.

But they killed poor old Gus.

It wasn't part of the plan.

Plans change.

He's yours.

It's okay, Gus.

It's me, Tommy.

I came to get you.

I paid them the ransom.

The money you had flown in from the
coast.

Everything's going to be all right.

I know you've been through a lot, Gus.

But...

It'll all be over just in a few moments.

Huh.

Very important to me too, Gus.

Robert!

Now!

You set me up with that phone call,
didn't you, Boy Scout?

When you called in, we traced the call
to a phone booth down the street.

Then we just staked it out and waited
for Rafani to show up.

Dad? Mr. Raffante, I think we have
something of yours.

Where did you find that?

He showed his apartment where you lost
it in the struggle when you murdered

You can't prove that.

We'll see about that, son.

Right. He is right.

Oh, your blood pressure's just a little
elevated. Other than that, you're

nowhere's for the wearer.

I'd like to take care of Rafante right
now.

Oh, Gus.

Without him, we won't know who framed
Steve.

This better be good, Sloan.

Oh, excuse me. You're with a patient.

Which is why I called you.

Norman Briggs, I'd like for you to meet
Mr.

Anonymous.

This hospital collapsing all around me
and you're making practical jokes?

I never make jokes.

This is the same Mr. Anonymous who
donated the hematology lab last year.

It's my pleasure.

How can I help you, sir? Well, he
already has.

He saved my life two years ago on the
operating table and today when he did it

again.

I'd be flown without bed.

And I'll write it. You're all very
proud.

There is no finer doctor. Whenever I
have a problem, I turn to Marvin. Thank

you, Norman.

In gratitude, I'm making a donation to
your hospital.

My hospital thanks you.

Are we talking a new wing, boys?

No, Norman. We're talking personnel.

The money goes to rehire the nurses.

What? All of them. Now.

This is blackmail, isn't it?

He's smarter than he looks.

Three million, Norman.

Take it or leave it.

The board would be very, very impressed.

Nurses will like you. Nobody likes me.

Nobody thinks I'm smart.

Everybody's going to wonder how I pulled
this off.

It'll be our little secret.

Blessed are those who give it, and
blessed are those who take it.

Don't tell me your problems.

Yeah, I'm out on bail, but I need the
money right now.

I've got to get out of town before
Benedict finds me.

You better come through for me, man.

Or I'll tell him who pulled the trigger
on Schroeder.

It's more like it. You bring the money
to the parking garage at 54th and Grand

Inn, two hours.

I'll meet you on the fourth floor.

Yeah.

What's going on, Tommy? What kind of
trouble are you in?

I'll be back.

Don't lie to me anymore, Tommy.

Everything will be fine, Josie.

I gotta go.

Tommy!

Talk to me!

win i'm sorry about this tommy but i
can't trust anyone anymore i see you're

carrying here you got a bug i swear i'm
not wired just want the money i

need a head start against benedict who
are you gonna run to what do you care

if you were smart you wouldn't stick
around the kidnapping charge on your

either not to mention what we did to
that detective pal from the years long

you keep your mouth shut nobody's gonna
connect either of us to shrug

Tommy didn't have to say a word,
Detective Vickers. I knew my son was

but thanks for telling me who did it.

How'd you find us here?

Oh, I've been keeping track of Tommy.

Ah, he should have left well enough
alone, Doctor.

Hey, Tommy.

No!

Something to wait a minute. Tommy!

It was like Schroeder. He knew too much.
Schroeder was a different story. I

wasted him to settle a score.

Cutting him out of the action was an
excuse.

With your money?

Here, have a good life.

Freeze, Brickers!

You might try to frisk Tommy, but I
figured you'd never bother to check on a

dead man.

Tommy was the bait.

We set you up, and Tommy shot me with
blanks. And, of course, this was

all the time.

It's my distinct pleasure to place you
under arrest for the murder of Lloyd

Schroeder. He deserved what he got.

I'm not sorry now, and I never will be.

Well, never's a very long time,
detective.

Of course, you and your partner will
have a chance to find out how long in

prison.

Hi. I, uh, talked to Gus Benedict.

He doesn't blame you.

That's good.

I always liked Gus Benedict.

I hear they're putting Tommy in
protective custody.

Yeah, yeah, he's, uh, he's gonna testify
at the trial, and in return for his

testimony, they're gonna put him in the
witness protection program.

You're gonna go with him?

I didn't get a chance to thank you.

No.

Come on.

Forget about that, man. No problem.

Sorry about the girl.

Yeah, me too.

I'll catch you later, all right?

Dolores!

Light of my life, you have no idea how
glad I am to see you. Don't give me any

of that sweet talk. What did you do to
my desk? You ought to be ashamed.

Come here.

Now things are back to normal.

Well, I may be back, but things around
you will never be normal.

Mark, could I please see you for a
moment?

Oh, sure, Norman.

I just wanted to say that I thought we
worked very well together on the strike

business. Well, I'm happy to hear you
say that, Norman.

And it just so happens that my contract
with the hospital is coming up for

renewal.

And I think that you'll be an excellent
choice to represent me.

Norman, I'd be happy to do it.

Of course, you're going to have to
explain to me exactly what it is you do

around here.

It's a joke, Norman.
