Imagine a man, a plain man, no different
from a thousand others you see in a

day, who enjoys the simple things in
life, the feeling of the sun on his

face, the taste of that first sip of
coffee.

Imagine his life, starting out with
unlimited potential and, like most

amounting to nothing much.

Few dollars in a retirement account.

Almost enough to pay off the debts that
will outlive him.

Imagine his hands.

Hands that built a house.

Caressed a wife.

Held a child.

Hands that sculpt, shape, and create.

Imagine his death.

Imagine his face contorting in pain as
the poison courses through his veins.

And his hands.

Those hands that could do so much.

Clutching one last time.

And falling still.

Useless.

I can imagine it.

Because that man will die tonight by
lethal injection.

Can you ask them?

Can you get me one last phone call?

I can imagine it.

Because that man is my father.

You made $65 ,000 betting on a football
game?

Oh, yeah. It's all fantasy money so far,
but my system is good. So good that I'm

thinking about going to Vegas this
Sunday, and I'm happy to accept

I know some gamblers who went broke.
They all had systems. Not like mine.

Oh, well, that's good, because none of
the other guys ever said that.

I'll tell you what I do.

I take a look at both of the teams, and
then I study their strengths, their

weaknesses, and then I analyze their
game to the smallest detail.

Then I bet on the club whose mascot
would beat the hell out of the other

mascot.

What? Very simple.

Dr. Mark Sloan, line five.

Dr. Mark Sloan, line five.

I'm going to put you down for a couple
hundred, okay? Hey, hey.

Dr.

Mark Sloan.

Yes, of course I remember you.

I'm going to die tonight, Dr. Sloan.

Yes, I know.

I'm going to die because you put me
here.

Oh, I didn't put you there. You put
yourself there. You murdered...

52 people.

I just caught you.

You caught an innocent man.

You had a chance to prove that at the
trial.

The jury didn't believe you, and I don't
believe you either.

Are you so sure that you'd stake my life
on it?

Look, if you're looking for a pardon, I
can't help you. And I wouldn't if I

could. Oh, I don't want your help.

Then what?

I want you to see what you've done.

I want you to watch me die.

Why?

You owe me that much.

All right.

I'll be there.

Three years, Lewis Sweeney held this
city in a grip of terror.

39 bombings, 52 deaths, hundreds of
injuries, millions in property damage.

you can ask me whether I think he
deserves to die tonight.

Some people believe that Lewis Sweeney
isn't the son of you bombers.

Some people believe JFK was killed by
space aliens. I can't help them either.

I'm not a psychiatrist, I'm a
prosecutor.

And you're up for re -election in, what,
a month?

And you're implying that I would execute
an innocent man to further my political

career? Is that something you really
want to be asking me?

During the trial, even you conceded you
had no idea what Sweeney's motive could

be. No, I still don't.

No one's ever been able to figure out
the reason for the bombings or why he

chose the targets that he did. And that
doesn't make you think that you might

have the wrong man?

No, it makes me glad that he'll be dying
tonight.

Isn't that right, Dr. Sloan?

No, I'm not here to celebrate.

Every man's death diminishes me, for I
am all men. Is that it?

Something like that.

Well, if that's true, I'll be glad to be
diminished tonight.

Oh, hello, Carter. Hello.

I know how hard this must be for you. If
there's anything that I can do for

you... My father would like to speak to
you.

There's a question I need you to answer
before I die.

I'll try.

Why you?

You mean...

Why did I help the police track you
down?

Burnside couldn't have won the election
unless he produced a body.

The police wanted to close their case.

But you, Doc, what was driving you?

Innocent people were dying.

Oh, innocent people are always dying.

Muggings, drive -bys, tainted hamburger
meat.

Why this set of victims over another?

I did what had to be done.

Yeah, I see. I get it.

Nothing personal.

Just a feeling of civic duty.

Except for your little whim, I could
have spent the last six years of my life

with my family.

And how many more people would have
died?

I'm not the bomber.

Then why did the explosion stop when you
were arrested?

I imagine the real bomber figured it out
that if he stopped...

I'd pay for his crimes and he'd go free.

At least, I hope that's what it is.

It's the only thing that gives any
meaning to my death.

I hope you find peace, Lewis.

Oh, I have.

I have, Doctor.

It's you I'm praying for.

Somebody stop this. Why won't anybody
stop this? Shh.

You've got to be strong now, Kate.

They chose to be here, Mark.

To watch their father die.

That's what they want.

He should have thought of his kids
before he started planting those bombs.

Amanda! Hey.

My God.

You look absolutely beautiful.

Jesse, I have been working on a seven
-car pileup since dawn. I haven't

showered, I haven't eaten, my eyes are
bloodshot, I'm covered in gore, and you

have the audacity to walk in here and
tell me I look beautiful? And yet, your

natural radiance shines through. The
true measure of beauty. Nothing can

it. No, and goodbye.

You haven't heard what I have to say
yet. It needs that heart of a spell. I'm

not interested. Goodbye. How would you
like to be financially independent?

I am.

How would you like to be obscenely
wealthy?

I am. You are? Yes, you see, my father
set up a trust fund for me when I turned

18. Oh.

How would you like me to be obscenely
wealthy?

Goodbye.

Amanda.

Hey, Angie Wagner.

What brings you back into town?

We need to talk.

Alone.

Stay. I'm busy, and it'll have to wait.

No, I just flew seven hours from
Quantico to have this discussion, and

going to have it now.

Dr. Jesse.

Did you hear that? I think they're
paging me. No, they're not. We're in the

middle of an urgent autopsy. I cannot be
interrupted. And I said all that I had

to say to you on the telephone. Yeah, to
my answering machine, not to me.

You can't end our relationship that way.

Is it because I said I love you last
weekend?

Didn't you just get paged?

I don't think so.

I could be wrong.

Yeah.

Because I said I love you? Maybe.

And you don't love me? I didn't say
that. No, you didn't.

That's why I'm here.

That's why I'm not going to make this
easy for you. You've never made it easy

for me, Ron. Not from the moment that we
first met on that 747 wreckage. But I

warned you about what would happen if we
continued to see each other.

You saw me anyway.

But the point is, everything turned out
exactly the way I said it would. You

live on one coast, I live on another.
Aren't we happy together?

What, a day or two at a time? It's my
marriage all over again.

Do you think it'd be any different if I
lived here?

Can't you do any better than that?

You could look me in the eye and tell me
that you want me out of your life.

You got it. I'm gone.

Ron, if I could do that, do you really
think I would have broken up with your

answering machine?

I'm sorry I got blood on your shirt.

I think I left a clean one at your
house. I think you did, too.

How

many

victims?

Five so far, but we've just begun the
digging.

How many people do you think were in
here?

Well, the building was declared
structurally unsound after the quake.

The INS moved into new offices and the
homeless came in.

It's been cold and wet.

They're telling how many people took
shelter here. What are they doing here?

I invited them.

I think the FBI can investigate the
simple firebombing of an abandoned

government building.

It's not a simple firebombing. I've only
done a preliminary examination of the

dead. The corpses' bodies are riddled
with brass screws and finishing nails.

I found this in one of the victims.

I'll have it analyzed.

You want to tell me what I'll find,
Mark? It's African walnut.

Okay, so the shrapnel found in the
bodies, screws, nails, and slivers of

walnut. You got it.

What am I missing?

We've seen this before.

It's the M .O. of a known serial bomber.

Well, great. Let's go pick him up. You
can see him down at the morgue, Ron.

He was executed last night.

First place he hit was a seedy joint on
the Sunset Strip to Sunnyview Motel.

That's how he got his name, the
Sunnyview Bomber. That's adorable.

What was his pattern?

We never figured that out.

He did anything.

Diner, a suburban home, gas station,
statuary store.

He even blew up a bench in MacArthur
Park.

How'd you catch him?

He made all of his explosive devices
using materials and tools involved in

handcrafted furniture.

And he encased the bombs in beautifully
crafted boxes made out of African

walnut. Louis Sweeney was a furniture
craftsman, like his father Reagan and

father before him.

And his daughter Caitlin is carrying on
the tradition.

Dad made the furniture connection and
found Sweeney. Thanks to a toothpick.

I don't get it.

While Mark was waiting for the dentist,
he was leafing through an Architectural

Digest magazine when he spotted a
photograph of the study, and he

detailing on one of the chairs.

From there, we were just a search
warrant away from a conviction.

But you were never able to figure out
why he was doing it? We didn't have to.

had the evidence.

Found it all in his van. So we're
looking at a copycat bomber here who's

to make fools out of the police, and the
prosecutor had me.

Well, you executed the wrong man.

No, it's out of the question. We're only
asking you to do it for a few days. If

I bury evidence linking this bombing to
Louis Sweeney, I'd bury my political

career along with it. We don't know that
you're connected. It doesn't matter if

they are or not, Detective. It happened
six hours after the Sunnyview bomber was

executed. Carter Sweeney will make that
connection for us on his damn radio

show. Let him. We don't have to help him
do it.

If he finds out that we're suppressing
evidence linking the two, it'll look

we're covering up the execution of an
innocent man. Look, if we go public with

what we have, we're going to give the
copycat exactly what he wants.

We're going to smear the justice system
and exonerate a guilty man.

Destroying you and my father in the
process.

Yeah, yeah. You see this, Matt?

See this, Matt? I just got it.

After Louis Sweeney was executed by
approver rating sword 20 points. It's a

I've been able to enjoy for, what, 10
minutes now? Let the press jump to

conclusions. We don't have to.

By saying nothing, we buy time to
investigate without the reporters

every step.

The fact that the Sunnyview bomber used
flathead brass screws as shrapnel never

came up in the trial.

Only a handful of investigators knew
that, and the perpetrator. Now, how are

sure that we didn't execute an innocent
man today?

I'm not.

What we need is a chance to determine
the truth.

One day.

One day.

Then tomorrow we'll see if you get
another.

I've always wondered how well you slept,
Doctor. Now I have my answer.

I sleep a lot better when the phone
doesn't ring at 6 a .m., Mrs. Sweeney.

Oh, I'm sorry. I assumed you'd be awake
searching for the Sunnyview bomber.

The Sunnyview bomber was executed.

Then how is it that he was able to blow
up the old INS building downtown

yesterday? Uh, coincidence.

A copycat bomber. And what is this
about?

Doesn't a copycat usually need
information to copy?

How is it that this imposter knew that
the real bomber always put flathead

screws in his devices when that
information was never released to the

If that was never released, how do you
know about those screws?

Because I'm here with Sharon Ellison,
Assistant District Attorney for the

of Los Angeles.

Wait a minute. Where was Sharon Ellison?

Oh, I'm sorry, Doctor. Did I fail to
mention?

We're live on KCDM -AM.

Sharon. I believe you and Dr. Sloan have
something of a professional

relationship. Yes, I successfully
prosecuted Dr. Sloan for murder.

I was framed, you know that.

As we found out later, the DA's office
issued him an official apology and I

personally sent him a lovely fruit
basket.

The good news is that you discovered the
frame before Dr.

Sloan was executed.

That time we did.

Louis Sweeney wasn't so lucky.

Louis Sweeney's attorney spent six years
searching for evidence to overturn that

verdict. Now, they didn't find anything
because it was guilty.

Or because it was in everybody's best
interest to keep such evidence hidden.

you suggesting that there's a cover -up
in the DA's office?

The case against Louis Sweeney was
terribly flawed. I know because I was

originally assigned to prosecute him.

Well, then you know that there was a van
full of evidence, don't you?

which I had reason to believe was
planted, but when I took my suspicions

superiors, they demoted me to second
chair and put Neil Burnside in charge.

And as I recall, it was Burnside's
successful conviction of my father that

to his election as DA.

Let me ask you this, Miss Ellison.

If you really believe that Louis Sweeney
was innocent, how could you stay

silent? I was scared.

I have a hard time imagining you being
scared of anything.

Look, Neil Burnside's enemies have a way
of losing their jobs, their careers,

even their reputations.

I had worked so hard to get where I was.

You overcame your fear just suddenly
this morning?

Yes, I did.

When I saw the pictures of Louis
Sweeney's body and realized that my

had allowed this to happen, I knew that
I could stay silent no longer.

And that's when you decided to run for
Neil Burnside's job?

Oh, that's what this is. This is a
campaign commercial.

Some people might call it a quest for
the truth.

Look, there's a copycat bomber out
there, and instead of helping the

she's using him to win a campaign.

I've faced my culpability in Louis
Sweeney's death, Dr. Sloan. I think it's

that you faced yours.

I have done nothing wrong.

My father said exactly the same thing to
me, just before they took him to his

death.

We'll continue this right after traffic
with Kate.

Carter

ambushed

me. He caught me while I was half asleep
and just dismantled me. All I could do

was mumble. Forget it, Doctor. The
show's irrelevant.

What matters are the facts.

And he's got them all.

And Sharon Ellison to help use him
against me.

How did that happen anyway, Ron? Did you
have an agreement with Bernstein?

Yeah, we do.

Either Farron Ellison leaked the details
to Carter, or he's our bomber.

Oh, Carter's got a motive, and so has
his sister, Caitlin.

Maybe they're in it together.

Their father could have given them the
details that were kept out of the trial.

Hell of a lot of good it does now.

If they wanted to clear him, wouldn't
they have started the bombings before he

was executed?

Who else could it be?

It's a whole city full of people out
there, last I look.

What if the Sunnyview bomber were two
people all along?

Then why didn't this secret accomplice
strike until now?

Why start the bombings in the first
place?

Find the original motive and all the
other pieces fall into place. Oh, I

argue with that.

Hi. Hey, guys. I just completed the
autopsies on the victims.

Unfortunately, no surprises there.

It did turn up some blood on a finishing
nail found at the scene.

Doesn't mean anything. It could have
passed through one or more of the

at the blast.

I already checked that out. The blood
doesn't match any of the victims.

But it could match one of the suspects.

We don't have any suspects.

I can think of a couple.

It's too early to concentrate on just
one possibility, particularly when we

no evidence to back it up.

Well, there's going to be some.

With your help, Jesse.

Dr. Trivet?

Hi, I'm Sally Preston.

You're it.

Well, I'm the station manager, if that's
what you mean.

How can I help you?

Well, why don't you have a seat, roll up
your sleeve, and we'll get what we can.

Excuse me, what are you doing?

Well, apparently I'm wasting my time in
the hospital's money.

I don't know what you're talking about,
but... Do you see these two nurses over

here? Do you think that they work for
free? And the blood mobile outside, do

think that we have a whole fleet of them
waiting around for some adolescent

shock jock to use for his idiotic
practical joke?

KCDM is talk radio for adults.

We don't do practical joke.

Oh, really?

Then what do you call arranging a blood
drive and then having nobody show up?

Look, I don't know anything about this.

Can you tell me who you dealt with?

Right, sure. Why don't we just turn on
your radio station and listen to Gus

Dallas right now brag about how he's
arranged the largest blood drive that L

has ever seen.

Gus Dallas is on KLMV.

This is KCDM.

This is the wrong station. I'm yelling
at the wrong person.

No, this is the right station.

Sally, go email everyone in the building
and tell them to get their veins down

here right away.

I'm sorry, Carter. Did you arrange this?

I'm arranging it right now.

Gus Dallas can't touch us in ratings or
demos.

Does he really think we'd let him beat
us on a blood drive?

I didn't know that forensics had become
such a spectator sport.

You're having a bad day.

Yeah, you could say that.

You know me well, and that feels very
good.

Caitlin Sweeney.

She's dead?

Uh, just a dead end.

Caitlin had some tests done at Community
General a few years back, so I pulled

her chart.

But her blood doesn't match the blood on
the nail.

You know, I'd heard L .A. judges were
easy, but... Judges?

Yeah, you know, the guy in the black
robe that granted you the warrant. Okay,

look, I brought a box of chocolates to
Imelda in records, and she turned her

back for five minutes.

What if you had found a match?

Anything you found afterwards would be
irreparably tainted.

I would have taken it to Mark and we
would have figured out something.

Men, I have to warn you, these methods
are not going to fly at Quantico.

Fortunately, my jurisdiction doesn't
extend much further than Fontana. No, it

didn't when you were an associate
medical examiner for the county of Los

Angeles. But now that you are the newest
forensic pathologist at FBI

headquarters at Quantico... I'm what?

Yeah, that's what I came to tell you.

I slipped them a copy of your resume and
they're excited.

I mean, you still have to interview, but
it's just a formality.

So you expect me to quit my job, leave
my friends, and uproot my son?

We can live together, be a family.

And what if it doesn't work?

You walk away clean. Meanwhile, I'm 3
,000 miles away from anyone that I know,

and my son has lost another man in his
life.

All he's trying to do is make our
relationship work. What? For one of us,

least.

You know, maybe I shouldn't have even
tried.

Maybe you actually like living 3 ,000
miles away from me.

Maybe I'm beginning to.

Hi, guys.

Just got the result of the DNA
comparison between Carter Sweeney's

the blood we found on a nail.

It's a perfect match.

That didn't seem to help Marcia Clark or
Christopher Darden much.

We're a long way from court. We can't
even arrest Carter Sweeney based on

results. So what was the point of doing
it in the first place?

Now we know he's guilty.

Yeah, well, now we get to be angry,
frustrated, and powerless. I liked it

when we didn't know.

Well, Amanda, we got him now.

Now all we have to do is get his consent
to repeat the test.

Oh, and he's just going to give it to
you?

Maybe he will if he has no choice.

Just to see how he likes being ambushed
in hell.

I want to thank you for agreeing to
appear on my show, Doctor. It can't be

easy thing for you to do.

Well, I figured I had to. Even so, you
don't have to be here, facing your

harshest critic on his own ground.

It takes courage, and I respect you for
that.

Well, this isn't about me. This is about
preventing any further killings. So you

concede that the Sunnyview bomber is
still out there?

There's a bomber out there planting
bombs, and people are being killed, but

not the Sunnyview bomber. That was Louis
Sweeney, and he was executed for his

crimes.

My father maintained his innocence to
his death, did he not? Yes, he did, but

that doesn't make it true.

But weren't you once convicted and
imprisoned for murders you didn't

After an experience like that, how can
you be certain that the same thing

happen to my father?

Louis Sweeney was the Sunnyview bomber.

The latest bombing was done by a copycat
to create this controversy and to

obscure the truth.

With all due respect, Doctor, your
explanation sounds like...

A desperate attempt to avoid taking
responsibility for a tragic, fatal

There is no evidence to support your
theory.

We have a bloody nail.

A nail?

Finishing nail, to be exact. We found it
at the scene of the crime.

And what does that prove?

Well, by itself, nothing.

But we managed to extract a blood sample
and DNA from it.

Now, if we can match that to another
blood sample, it's better than a

fingerprint.

Your fingerprint.

Let's be clear, Doctor.

What you're implying is that you've
matched the blood on this nail to mine.

Yes, I have.

I don't recall giving you a sample.

Do you remember rolling up your sleeve
for a blood drive here at the radio

station a few days ago?

You were in that building, and you
pricked yourself on that nail when you

the bomb.

To your father's specifications, no
doubt.

And you were saying this bloody nail
proves all that.

Conclusively. You wanted to discredit me
and clear your father, and you killed

five innocent people doing it.

You know, you can prove me wrong if you
like, just by providing me with another

blood sample. I can take it right here.

I brought a kid with me.

You're not wrong.

It is my blood.

I was in that building.

And I have five million witnesses to
prove it.

Get me show 1268 about ten minutes in
and cue it up.

You listen to my show much, Doctor?

No. Well, that's a shame.

We're not like other talk radio shows.
We get outside the studio, we

issues first -hand.

I lived with the homeless in that
building for three days.

I did a series of live broadcasts from
there about six months ago as an expose

on slumlords.

In this case, the government itself.

Play the tape.

There's no running water, no
electricity, raw sewage streams down the

and yet this is where entire families
are forced to live.

Forced to... What is it? What's wrong?

Stepped on it.

through here in daylight.

Imagine what it's like for the people
who seek shelter here at night.

My pain is small compared to what these
people have to endure each and every

day. And not one of them has the... It's
too bad you weren't listening, Doctor.

It's too bad the politicians in City
Hall weren't listening either.

It might have spared us all this ugly
incident.

This is how Mark Sloan works.

This is how he twists the evidence to
fit his own preconceptions.

This is how he killed my father.

You bring your father into this
investigation, huh?

I consulted him.

Isn't that why you hired him, as a
police consultant?

Yes, but nowhere in the job description
does it say go on the radio and make an

ass of yourself.

How much of this did you know about?

Only what I heard on the radio.

Only what you heard on the radio. Why
didn't Dr. Sloan inform us of his

before he went public?

My father didn't feel he had enough to
make an arrest stick.

He was just trying to give us what we
needed.

He is a doctor. He's not a homicide
detective. It's not his job to make

decisions. It's mine!

I don't understand who the hell he
thinks he is! A man who has solved more

murders for this department than any
police officer.

I haven't heard any complaints up until
now. Well, up until now, he hasn't gone

public and made fools of all of us, has
he?

Come in.

You wanted to see me?

Yes, thank you for coming over so
quickly.

It's not often that I get an urgent
summons from the district attorney, at

since you transferred me to West Covina.

Well, I'm going to reassign you
effective immediately.

Transferring me to an even smaller,
darker corner of Southern California may

make you feel better, but it's going to
look like political retaliation to the

voting public.

I'm sure that it would, and that's why I
would never do anything like that. What

I'm going to do is I'm going to ask you
to reopen the case against Sweeney, and

I want you to take over the
investigation of the new bombing.

There's no case to reopen.

We convicted the right man. Well, after
your father's performance today, I'm not

so sure.

And I need an objective view. So you
bring her in?

Her mind's already made up. I think
we'll get a cold, honest appraisal of

facts, won't we, Counselor? I'll do my
best, sir. To destroy my father for a

more votes.

Can't you see she's got an agenda?

Don't you?

Huh?

One more word out of you, Detective, and
you're off this investigation.

Excuse me.

I'm really not interested in your
personnel issues and your local

I have an investigation to conduct.

And unless you have something relevant
to add to it, I'd really like to get

to work.

We don't need your help. This isn't a
federal case.

Oh, it became one when a government
building was destroyed.

Yes, it did. Yes, it did. Yes, it did.
With the understanding that this office

would be in charge of the investigation.
So from now on, you're going to

coordinate all your activities through
me.

Hmm?

Dismissed.

The Sunnyview bombing case is closed.

The man convicted of the crime was
executed.

So why reopen the case now?

Well, the similarities between the new
bombings and the old bombings are

undeniable. Re -examining the previous
investigation is just simply the

responsible thing to do. So this is not
a repercussion of Dr. Sloan's appearance

on my show this morning?

Absolutely not.

However, after what I've heard, I'm
deeply disturbed by Dr. Sloan's methods,

I intend to take a serious look at every
murder investigation he's ever been

involved with.

I'm disturbed, too.

Which is why I filed a $150 million
lawsuit against Community General

which continues to employ Dr.

Sloan and allows him to use their
resources, staff, and good name to

personal agenda.

Mark, don't let him get to you.

Oh, he already has, Amanda, and
brilliantly.

Carter Sweeney went into that empty
building, did a live broadcast, and

deliberately stepped on that nail,
knowing...

exactly six months later how I was going
to use it, and he was going to turn it

against me.

Yeah, well, listening to him isn't going
to help. It's only going to eat away at

you. Come on.

The man knows how I think, how I plot,
how I deduce.

If I'm going to beat him, I have to know
the same about him.

Well, maybe you should let the FBI and
the LAPD work on the case now. Oh,

because I fell into his trap and lost my
credibility?

Well, I can't back down now.

If I let him get away with this, it'll
cast doubt on every murder conviction I

was ever a part of. And worse, murderers
can go free.

Oh, I don't think it'll come to that.
Well, I'm not going to let it happen.

See, right now, he thinks he's won,
which is going to make him careless,

like it made me.

Mark, you weren't careless.

We just have to work harder the next
time.

Thanks.

I will. Take care.

Amanda.

Wait. There's nothing that you can say
that's worth waiting for. I was wrong.

Wrong? It's an understatement.

Okay. How about selfish and insensitive?

Arrogant.

Tyrannical.

Contemptuous. You're getting warmer.
Keep going.

How about well -intentioned? I just
wanted us to be together.

I want that, too.

Good. Because I just told my boss that
after this assignment is over, I'm

to L .A. permanently.

You're getting a transfer?

Well, they can find a place in the
Bureau. If not, I'm going to find

job. I don't know if I can let you do
that.

So now who's the expert on what's good
for everyone else?

Well, what if things don't work out
between us?

Then I'm going to feel like a complete
idiot.

But I can live with that risk if you
can.

I'll be there in 15 minutes.

Dr. Bentley, Miss Ellison, I'm very
busy. I can't talk to you right now.

Actually, you can. There's been another
bombing and I just received the call.

Consider the call rescinded. Dr.
Steinberg will handle the investigation.

Well, you can't do this.

You and I will get along much better
once you realize the words you can't

apply to our relationship. Now, I will
be taking all of your current files on

the series of explosions as well as the
original Sunnyview bombings.

Will you help my marshals in retrieving
them?

You see, we're getting along better
already.

Now, the files?

I have to get Clarence from the
coroner's office first.

They'll understand when you show them
the court order.

Old files tend to get lost so quickly,
especially when they contradict the word

of old friends.

Why do you hate Mark Sloan so much?

Is it because he made a fool out of you
when he proved his innocence?

Dr. Bentley, do not mistake a
professional investigation for a

vendetta, because once you do, your
actions will be based on emotion rather

intelligence. And at that point, your
employment will be called into question.

Excuse me.

What's the emergency?

Your career.

And whether or not you want to have one
tomorrow?

I don't need to be rescued from a fight.
Unless it's one you can't possibly win.

What are you talking about? She nearly
accused me of conflict of interest.

Amanda, you've made your loyalties
clear.

There is an appearance of conflict. If
you fight to stay on this case, you're

only going to make that appearance
worse.

I know that woman. And she will twist
the facts to make Mark Sloan out to be

bad guy and Carter Sweeney an innocent
victim.

I won't let that happen. She will not
follow up on evidence that leads to

Sweeney. All right.

If you can tell me without a trace of
uncertainty that Mark is right.

and that Carter Sweeney is the bomber,
then we will go back into your office

together, and we will fight Sharon
Ellison until her career is ruined or

are. I'm ready. But if you have any
doubt at all about Mark's conclusions,

there's even a tiny chance that Sweeney
is not the one,

then walk away.

Okay. I have to go back to the bombing
site. I promise I will share any

information I find.

It had brass screws and finishing nails.
It's the same purpose.

I wonder what his favorite radio station
is.

What are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

Just wanted to get a look around before
it got too trampled on. Did any

reporters see the two of you?

I don't think so. We came out the back
way.

May I see that?

Here, take this.

Are you insane or are you just stupid? I
admit I made a few mistakes, but

Sweeney's our bomber and I won't
underestimate him. You are fired,

You can't take me off this case. I'm on
it with you. You're no longer a

consultant for this department, and if
you show up at a crime scene again, I'm

going to have you arrested right on the
spot. Now, you get him out of here and

find something to put over his head,
sir. I don't want anybody to recognize

You can't treat my father this way.

You're off this investigation, and one
more word out of you, you're off the

force.

Let's go, Dad.

It's my grandfather's.

My father designed a few pieces, but all
the big sellers are based on Reagan's

work.

And his work methods, I guess.

Carrying on the family's traditions.

So's your brother, I'm afraid.

My grandfather came to this country with
nothing in his pockets but his hands.

They were all he needed to build himself
a future.

Miss Sweeney, we know what your
brother's doing.

It's not much of a job for a man talking
on the radio.

That's what my father used to say.

A man lives off his hands, a fool lives
off his mouth.

Of course, those fights are over now,
thanks to you and your dad.

We know that Carter Sweeney planted
those bombs.

Your brother thinks he's getting revenge
for his father's death, but all he's

doing is killing innocent people. Like
you did my father?

Look, I know I'll never convince you
what we did was right. I know you'll

hate us.

But to hurt me and my father, your
brother is punishing all the people of

city.

One chair at a time, my grandfather
built this business till it could

support a family.

And once he did, the city decided to
build a freeway through it. Listen to

Six days, Regan held off the bulldozers.

One man with a shotgun against the
forces of civic pride and progress. And

the seventh day, progress called in the
sharpshooters and my father watched his

father die just like I did.

Don't ask me to grieve for the people of
this city.

I'm talking about innocent.

Mothers and children. No.

You're done talking. Get out of my shop.

Now.

Where are you going?

Well, I'm thinking about Las Vegas.

Using my sports betting system to
bankroll my career as a professional

You already have a job. If you want to
keep it, you better get in there and get

dressed because your shift started an
hour ago.

Mark, where have you been? I don't
practice medicine here anymore.

What do you mean?

The hospital put me on disciplinary
leave until they can decide whether or

to fire me.

Jesse, you're the best doctor in the ER.

Thanks, but it's not about that.

They've got 120 million other reasons.

It's about taking Carter Sweeney's blood
under false pretense, or as they put

it, ordering unauthorized, unnecessary,
and unreimbursed medical tests.

It's not your fault. It was my idea. I
asked you to do that.

And I should have refused to when you
asked me, but I didn't.

I would do the same thing if you asked
me again. And see, that's why they

fire me. I'm incorrigible. I'm not going
to let them do that.

Look, Mark, when I'm in my penthouse
suite in Vegas with a couple of

under each arm, none of this will have
ever mattered. You stay right here. I'm

going to talk to the board of directors.

Mark, wait. You don't have...

What's

this? A restraining order.

You and your son are not to get within
100 yards of me or any member of my

family.

I'm not going to let you keep killing
people. No lawsuit or court order is

to save you. You heard him, Marshal.
You're my witness.

Dr. Mark Sloan to administration.

Dr. Mark Sloan to administration,
please.

You're not supposed to be here.

Yeah, I know. Everyone's made that
abundantly clear. I mean, it's your day

We could be spending it together.

And we are.

You're helping me pack.

You can start by stacking these boxes
over by the elevator.

I don't understand.

Well, these are my personal files, and
I'll need them in Quantico.

Quantico. Yeah, the job's still
available, isn't it? Yeah.

Well, I'm taking it.

Why aren't you smiling?

I thought your life was here.

It was.

But the board of directors is about to
suspend me, and the city's going to fire

me as adjunct county medical examiner,
so why should I give them the

satisfaction? So you're taking the job
with the FBI to spite them?

Well, Ron, I could really go anywhere,
but I'm choosing to go with you because

love you.

Damn.

Now I'm going to have to clean up some
closet space.

No, you won't.

I'm going to get my own place.

I thought you just... I did.

But moving in together is a step we're
not ready to take.

Besides, there's someone else in the
equation.

Oh, CJ.

I am.

I don't know how to talk to kids.

You'll learn.

You'll learn.

You're the only people I know who find
the morgue romantic.

Okay, what are you doing here?

I heard that Carter Sweeney was going to
serve my father with a restraining

order. How'd you hear that?

I got one, too.

Hey, by the next flight to Sin City,
this is your last chance to share in the

fortune.

This way.

Dad?

They just fired me.

Effective immediately.

Mark, any hospital in this city would be
glad to have you.

You can't practice medicine without a
license.

They took it away from me.
