Doctor, mask and gown, please.

Doctor!

Hey,

where are you going?

Doctor Sloan, I'm Julia Adams.

Pleasure to meet you, Miss Adams.

Well, just take off your jacket and have
a seat.

How are you feeling?

Great.

Okay, let's see. How old are you?

That's a national secret.

I have security clearance.

29. That wasn't so painful, was it?

It's a little high.

You nervous?

I don't think so.

Okay, I'll get your medical history to
do the blood pressure again.

What? Sorry, I didn't start earlier.

Okay, stop me if you've had any of these
problems.

Bad headaches, seizures, insomnia,
prolonged sore throat, shortness of

chest pain.

Palpitations, persistent cough, lack
of... Julia?

Must have been standing here.

I was talking to her, taking her medical
history.

She slumped over dead.

I didn't hear the shot. I had no idea.

That was one hell of a shot.

I don't think it was meant for her.

You think you were the target?

I've sent an awful lot of people to
jail.

Someone's seeking revenge.

I have to assume.

Are you all right?

Yeah.

Listen, if you need anything, I'll be
downstairs.

Thank you, sweetie.

Steve, walk with me a minute.

An innocent young woman comes into my
office for a physical. Would there be

reason to believe that she's going to be
safe there? Dad, this is not your

fault. Oh, isn't it?

She'd go to another doctor, one who
hasn't been putting criminals behind

for years.

You locate the next of kin. I need to
talk to them. Yeah, she's got a sister.

I'm going to go over and talk to her
myself.

I'm going with you. No, you're not.

There's somebody out there shooting at
you.

I'm going to get you police protection.
Lemery's sending someone over right now.

Anything on the shooter?

Well, we got a sketchy description from
the nurse, and we think the rifle was

broken down in a shooter's attaché case.
Sounds like a pro.

That poor girl.

Listen, Dad, I'm going to go over some
of your old cases, see if anybody you've

got convicted has gotten out of jail
recently.

How about the roof? Anything on the
roof?

Well, there was a burn mark on the
ledge. It looked like somebody put out a

cigarette on it.

That's it? That's all you got?

Dad, I'm going to go talk to the sister.

In the meantime, you're going home.

You'll be safer.

Mark, this is Carrie Adams, Julia's
sister.

How do you do?

Is that her?

Yes.

I don't know if I can do this.

Just take your time.

Carrie, we know that this is a difficult
time for you, but there are a couple of

forms we need you to fill out at your
earliest convenience.

Let's just get it over with.

The name of your sister?

Julia Langford Adams.

Date of birth?

March 11th, 1971.

Langford, as in Joseph and Catherine
Langford?

They're my grandparents.

Did you know them?

No, I didn't know them.

Excuse me, I have to go.

You're a pretty cute kid.

Oh, thank you.

What are you doing out here?

Oh, just looking at my past.

This is the last picture of my mother
and father taken together.

Well, those two girls, Carrie and Julia
Adams, their middle name is Langford.

They're the granddaughters of Joseph and
Catherine Langford.

Should that mean something to me?

Back in 1947, Joseph Langford was
executed for the murder of his wife,

Catherine.

Never heard of him. Well, no reason you
should.

Except that it was my dad's last case.

Shortly after Langford was executed, my
father left my mom and me and went to

New York.

He just walked out the front door and
never came back.

Your father left when you were ten years
old?

Hmm. You never told me that before.

I don't know why I saved these.

Probably should have burned them all.

Did you bring the blankets?

Three. Give them to me. I'm freezing.

Sir, are you all right?

I've got the mother of all headaches.

It's like a sauna in here.

I'll just turn it down. Leave it alone.

Do you mind?

Yes, I do.

Oh, sir, you are burning up. If a kid of
mine had a fever like that, he'd have

been in the hospital hours ago.

I'm fine.

No, sir, you are not fine.

Temperature 103 .8. Complaint of a
pretty severe headache. Been like this

about six minutes.

Better call upstairs.

What's his name?

Akins. Akins?

Mr. Akins?

Mr. Akins?

Mr.

Akins?

Mask him.

I'm going to get two grams of
subtriazone. Let's set up for an LP. I'm

get a CBC, electrolytes, blood culture,
and a chest X -ray.

Looking for petechial rash.

What's that?

Signs of meningitis.

Someone paged me?

I may have a candidate for your domain.

I know him.

He's a guy that busted into the lab.
Broke a test tube on the way up to the

roof. The shooter?

Could be.

Let's get him up to isolation.

Somebody call the police.

Looks like there's a hair in there.

I thought you met Greg and did pretty
well for the show.

Yeah, but see, there's a real name.

Got something.

He's a guy.

Money.

And lots of it.

Any sign of who hired him?

No.

Look at this.

We were wrong.

You weren't the target.

She was.

Put one of these on.

Jacob's got you.

We need to talk to him. I'm afraid he
died 15 minutes ago.

Talk about just desserts.

Akins had a form of meningitis called
meningococcemia.

How do you remember names like that?
It's easy. It's a death sentence.

By the time you get it diagnosed, your
patient's dying.

Well, you got it in a lab?

Yeah, when that test was done. Just a
second.

Yeah, Cheryl, I want to put a trace on
Akins' phone.

ASAP.

Yeah, I'll be there as soon as I can.

Thanks. What's up?

Guys like Eakins get paid half up front,
the other half on completion.

You think he was waiting for the rest of
his money?

Yeah, I don't care how sick he was. If
he'd been paid, he would have gotten out

of town.

What are

you

so happy about?

Oh, I don't know. Do I have to have a
reason?

I thought maybe you were just glad to
see me.

He rented the car, used a phony license,
and paid in cash.

Find anything?

No, not a print, not even a piece of
lint. This guy's like the Invisible Man.

That's his M .O. He ran his prints. His
name is Richard Akins.

There's no record, no arrests, not even
a speeding ticket in the States.

FBI says he's been in Europe for the
past five or six years, and he's

to be as good as they get.

Which means he's expensive.

Probably.

When you finish with the car, why don't
you meet me in the room? All right.

Found this in Julia's purse.

Do you know why she carried a pad?

Julia was a copywriter for an ad agency.

And her dream was to write novels.

So she would take notes.

Wherever she was going, whatever she was
doing, she would take notes.

Like a journal?

Yeah. It was really annoying sometimes
because you'd be trying to have a

conversation with her and she'd start
writing.

Do you have any idea what this means, 2
.30 Fridays?

No.

Why all these questions about Julia?

They found this in the killer's attaché
case.

I was wrong. Julia was the target.

Damn it.

What?

You know, uh, the people you asked me
about, the Langfords?

Your grandparents?

Yeah. Did you know that, um, my
grandfather, Joseph Langford, was

executed for murdering his wife?

Yes, I did.

Julia believed that our grandfather was
innocent.

And she wanted to prove it and clear his
name.

And I asked her to leave it alone. I
begged her.

Why?

It destroyed my family, Dr. Sloan.

It destroyed my grandparents.

It destroyed my mother.

And now Julia's dead. It's like a curse.

Did Julia ever tell you she was seeing
me?

No. Why?

My father was the Los Angeles police
detective who investigated your

grandfather's case.

He and his partner testified at the
trial. Did Julia say anything to you?

No.

Maybe she was going to.

Maybe that's why she was killed.

Friday, November 17th, 2 .37 p .m.

Homicide call at 1407 Holloway.

Danny, check out the bedroom.

Mr. Langford, I'm Detective James Sloan.
Why don't you have a seat?

Tell me what happened.

I got home around five.

I called Catherine's name and she didn't
answer.

I thought that was odd, so I checked on
Sarah.

She was asleep in her crib.

Then I went into her bedroom and found
Catherine.

My God, she was covered in blood.

Who would do such a thing?

Take your time.

Try to relax.

And tell me how the blood got on you.

I thought she was alive.

It looked like she was still breathing.

This is my partner, Detective McNamara.

Is this your gun, Mr. Langford?

It looks like my Army .45.

It was found in a garbage pail down the
block.

How'd it get there?

It's been fired four times.

Well, maybe you'd like to tell us the
truth, Mr. Langford.

What really happened today?

I told you I came home and found my
wife.

Or maybe Mr.

Langford would be a little more truthful
downtown.

Come on.

What are you doing? I told you I didn't
do anything.

What about Sarah?

What's going to happen to her? I have to
take care of Sarah. Is there any social

workers on her way?

We'll take care of her. I told you I
didn't do anything.

64 % of the men and 78 % of the women in
America are on a diet.

Now, what does that tell you?

It explains why women are better looking
than men.

Well, you know what it tells me?

No, I don't, Cheryl.

Well, it tells me that if you had done
your research, you never would have

opened a barbecue joint.

We should have checked with you first.

Fat -free is the way to go.

Ready?

Yeah.

Dispatch a unit.

Yeah, I know. Do it anyway, thanks.

The call came from a phone booth on the
corner of Wilshire and 23rd. For what

it's worth, they're sending a unit. Now,
why bother?

Damn.

Hold that car.

I need this car.

Sorry, sir, I need this car.

Well, sir, this one's been rented. This
car's part of an ongoing police

investigation. There's other cars here.
Why don't you pick one of those?

But I need this one.

It may contain evidence.

Thanks for ruining my day.

My entire stay in Los Angeles.

I think he's overreacting.

See, there's nothing in the car. Get in.

7700 Balboa Boulevard, Stephen Valley.

If Aikens left that in the system and
that's where he went, we should go buy a

lottery ticket because this is our lucky
day.

We'll try.

Take Sherman Way, one half mile to
Satakoi and turn right.

You like that?

What's not to like?

I don't know. I think it's okay to get
lost once in a while. You know, go

you never would have done, see things
you never would have seen.

I hate getting lost.

Why? Make you feel like you're not in
control?

Your destination is 150 feet ahead on
the right.

It must be in a strip mall.

We're lucky there'll be somebody waiting
for agents here.

With a lot of money.

How do we find him?

Cut at the end.

Two men inside.

That'd be my bet.

Need backup on the 7700 block of Balboa.
Great Saturn, license plate 5P -14339.

Hi, Dad. Hi.

Place the license plate of the car I was
chasing.

belongs to a company called Premium
Security.

I don't believe it.

What do you mean?

Are you sure it was Premium Security?

Yeah, positive. Why?

Sit down.

Took Joseph Langford downtown.

Danny and I put him through the ringer.
Neighbors say you and your wife have

been fighting.

We had arguments like any married
couple.

They say you've been screaming at each
other.

I lost my job.

We've had money problems.

So what happened, Joseph?

She started nagging at you, yelling at
you. You couldn't take it anymore?

So you got out that service 45 of yours?
That's not true.

You know what happens to guys like you?

They got a room up at Sand Q.

They drop in these pellets and you try
not to breathe because you know if you

breathe, you'll die.

So you hold your breath and you hold
your breath.

And when you can't hold your breath any
longer, You die.

Danny, let me talk to him.

Joseph,

how'd the gun get in the garbage?

I don't know.

It was fired four times.

Same number of times Catherine was shot.

Someone's framing me. You gotta believe
me.

Why would someone do this to me? Come
on. There was blood on that gun.

Just like there was blood on your pants
and your shirt.

I was with a woman.

That's where I was all afternoon.

She had a flat and I helped her change
the tire.

She was young and beautiful and when she
said she wanted to buy me a cup of

coffee, I said, what the hell?

I was sick of all the crap I get at
home.

Does this fairy princess have a name?

Adriana Landreau.

She had long blonde hair that covered
one eye.

Right.

Just like in the movies.

Is it a waste of time?

I swear that's the truth. And when I got
home, I found Catherine dead.

Joseph, we're going to try to find this
woman, Adriana Landro.

But if you're lying, there's nothing we
can do.

What does that got to do with premium
security?

My dad's partner, Danny McNamara, the
one he investigated the Langford case

with, well, he left the police for it.

He founded premium security.

Mr.

McNamara? Yeah.

Lieutenant Steve Sloan, LAPD.

What can I do for you?

Yesterday, in the course of an
investigation, I was involved in a car

with a vehicle registered to your
company.

Yeah, yeah, we called the police,
reported stolen.

I know, but it was reported stolen
several hours after the chase.

Son, did you just walk through my
parking lot?

Did you see how many cars I have that
look exactly like the ones that you

chased? How many of them have a broken
right taillight and a missing antenna?

Are we done?

No, we have a little personal business.

Of what nature?

My grandfather was Detective James
Sloan.

Your father's partner?

You've got to be kidding.

In 1947, my grandfather and your father
investigated the murder of Catherine

Langford. Your point is?

I'm here investigating the murder of
Julia Adams, Catherine Langford's

granddaughter. That's quite a
coincidence.

Did you know Julia Adams? No, why?

I think the cases may be connected.

You're saying that a murder that took
place last week is connected to a murder

that took place over 50 years ago.

That's absurd.

This conversation is over.

Sunday, November 18th. We found Adriana
Landreau. My partner Danny picked her

up.

Adriana Landreau?

Yes.

Have a seat.

What is this all about?

Do you know a man named Joseph Langford?

No.

I don't think so.

Where were you last Friday?

Home.

I think... Yes, I was sick, and I stayed
home.

You didn't go out?

Once. I walked to church, 11 o 'clock
mass, and I came home, and I didn't go

again.

So you didn't have a flat tire that day?

Sir, I don't own a car.

Do you mind telling me what this is all
about?

Adrienne Landreau didn't look anything
like the woman that Joseph Lankford

described.

And that didn't strike anybody as odd?
No, Lankford was tried, convicted,

sentenced to death.

Somebody didn't want Julie Adams looking
into that case.

Did you check out the books at Premium
Security?

Yeah. And as best I could, Johnny
McNamara's personal finances.

Anything? No. There wasn't a single
large withdrawal that could have been

to pay off the shooter.

I can't even prove the premium vehicle
wasn't stolen.

I keep running into brick walls.

What's going on?

Eh, nothing.

Dad.

You know, all these years I've tried to
keep my dad out of my mind.

You never talk about him.

What is there much to tell?

One day he walked out the front door and
never came back.

Three months after he left, he sent a
letter from New York. He said, hope

fine. Said he was well.

Never heard from him again.

You have any idea why he left?

Not really.

To get along with your mom?

Oh, yeah.

You know, I always thought maybe it had
something to do with that Langford case.

Maybe just being a cop.

That's why you didn't want me to be a
cop.

I never said that.

You didn't have to.

Well, you know, I always thought that
maybe being a cop frightened him.

Or maybe...

You know, destroyed something in him. I
guess that's why I didn't want that to

happen to you.

Dad.

Well, look what happened. I mean, you've
been on the poor club almost 20 years

and you haven't had one long -term
relationship yet.

Most of the guys I work with have wives
and families they love.

It's not the job, Dad.

It's me.

In that case, I wish you'd do something
about it.

Do you want coffee, tea, a glass of
wine?

No, thanks.

You did these?

Yeah, I do mostly ads, but every now and
then a children's book.

These are good.

They're okay.

No, these are really good.

You're sweet.

Cops don't get that very often.

Thanks.

So, you had some questions you wanted to
ask me?

Yeah.

Did your sister ever have any connection
with a company called... premium

security or a guy named Johnny McNamara?

I don't know. I've never heard of either
of them.

Well, this afternoon, my partner Cheryl
followed McNamara to the L .A.

Constitution.

McNamara met with one of the owners of
the paper, either a Ted or Elliot

Barclay. You know either one of them?

The Barclays and I don't move in the
same social circles.

They're lost.

Thanks.

My mom knew the Barclays, though,
because she worked at the paper most of

life.

A writer?

Sort of. On the business side.

She wrote the classified ads.

I know that doesn't seem like much of a
job, but she really liked it.

The thing is, my mom was a drinker.

She hawked her engagement ring once to
get a bottle of gin.

She made a lot of mistakes in her life.

But there were two things she never
screwed up.

That job and being a mother.

Loved being a mother.

I had my dad asked Ted Barkley about
her. He was running the paper back

Any more questions?

Just one.

I was told that 74 % of the women in
America are on diets. I was wondering if

you were one of them.

No. Do I look like I should be on a
diet?

No.

Then what's the point of your question?

Dinner?

Oh.

Okay.

Hey, listen, Mark. I warned you I only
have a few minutes before I meet the

governor. Good. Tell him the hospitals
need a little more money.

Come on, Mark.

Okay. What's your relationship with
premium security?

They've been handling security for the
paper and the family for over 30 years

now. Why? Not for publication.

Of course.

They've come up in a police
investigation.

What about Johnny McNamara?

Johnny in trouble?

Not that I know of.

Johnny's a friend.

I'd like him even more if he'd sell that
company of his to me.

Anything else?

Sarah Adams.

You know her?

She's dead.

But you knew her?

Yeah, she worked for the paper.

She was a useless drunk.

I tried to fire her four or five times,
but my father wouldn't let me.

Why? I don't know.

But if he'd ever met Sarah, you'd know
it wasn't because they were dating, if

you know what I mean.

Hey, I'm late. Let's get out of here.

See you at the board meeting tomorrow?

Right.

Dr. Sloan, you have to stop. They're
going to kill me.

Carrie, what happened?

Promise me you'll stop, okay? Promise me
you'll stop. What's the matter?

Calm down.

Calm down. What's the matter?

What happened?

I got a phone call from a man who said
that you should stop investigating

Julia's death.

What did he sound like?

Oh, no, he sounded like a man.

What else did he say?

He said that he knew where I lived, that
he knew that I was alone, and that the

same thing that happened to Julia could
happen to me.

We should have gotten you out of that
apartment.

It's okay.

Listen, you can come stay with us at the
beach house.

You'll be safe there.

Mark. Mark.

What is it?

I had a brilliant thought after I saw
you yesterday.

See, we've been searching for a new
director of a kidney research project

the Barclays Foundation is funding, and
you would be perfect.

I'm a little busy, you know. Mark, think
big. It's a change in series, a change

in your life.

Now look, there's a conference that
starts in two days in Paris.

Paris?

Now, why don't you fly over, use the
apartment, meet the people, see if you

them, see if you like the direction the
project's going, and then make your

decision. Ted, I can't leave here. I
have a practice, I have patience. This

big opportunity.

Why didn't you bring me this offer last
night?

It didn't occur to me until after you
left.

What's the difference?

You think about it, all right?

Oh, thank you.

You doing all right?

Yeah, I'm okay.

Steve? Are you in here, Dad?

Hi. Hi.

Boy, you're never going to guess what
happened.

What? Ted Barkley offered me a job in
Paris today.

Paris? That's great. I love Paris.

It could just be an attempt to get us
off the case.

Oh, I've known Ted for a long time. I
don't think he'd be involved in a

That's what they said about Ted Bundy.
What a great guy he was.

What are you going to do?

Uh, eat. I am starving. And then tonight
I'm going to sleep on it. What are you

two going to do?

December 24th.

For a moment, I thought Santa had
brought me an early Christmas gift.

Hello.

Saying you were with Joseph Langford the
afternoon his wife was born.

What's your name?

Sally.

You're the one whose car broke down.

Where are you?

I'll get there as quick as I can.

20 minutes tops.

Danny, wake up.

There's a Mexican restaurant at the
corner of Figueroa and 3rd. Get your

over there.

You're going to meet Sally Perry, Joseph
Langford's living, breathing alibi.

Sally?

The coffee, ma 'am?

Yeah. Help yourself.

So, is it Paris?

The Champs -Élysées?

The Place de la Concorde?

It's going to be Northridge.

Why Northridge?

I made a couple of calls. I found my
dad's old partner, Danny McNamara. I'm

going to go see him.

Oh.

Jimmy. Jimmy, you son of a bitch.

Where have you been?

Danny, it's Mark. Mark Sloan. I'm James'
son.

Oh, you're a sight for sore eyes.

I was talking about you the other night.

Danny, do you remember the Joseph
Langford? I was telling these guys about

night at Maria's.

You remember that night?

Not particularly, no. Well, you and me
were in there for tacos, and these two

kids came in to hold the joint up, you
know, and they were nervous, they were

shaking out.

Old Maria looked like she was about to
have a heart attack right on the spot.

Don't you remember what you did?

No, why tell me about it, Daddy?

You walked up to one of these kids, and
you let him put his gun right at your

belly, and you said, son, you put that
gun away and you can walk out of here.

Or you're going to spend the next 25
years of your life in jail.

What did he do?

He knocked you out cold.

But you were right, Jimmy.

You went after that kid like he killed
your mother.

You're right. He had to spend the next
25 years of his life in jail.

Oh, Jimmy, it is so good to see you.

Good to see you too, Danny.

After all these years of waiting for you
to come, I...

keep going over in my mind what I want
to say.

What, Danny? What did you want to tell
me?

Well, I never got to say I was sorry and
to beg your forgiveness.

For what, Danny? What did you want to
apologize for?

You had to do it.

You had to tell me about the girl.
Everything would have been okay if you'd

kept your mouth shut.

Danny, what girl? I mean, who are we
talking about?

I'm trying to do the right thing here,
Jimmy.

Danny, I don't know what you're talking
about.

I get it.

I see what you're trying to do.

That's swell, Jimmy. That's swell.

Do you remember that night at Hank's
Grill when Captain Green brought all

MGM dancers?

Wow! Was that a night!

Gerald, you got a minute?

Could you run that over to forensics for
me?

Steve, this is from 1947.

Yeah, my grandfather wrote it to my
grandmother.

So what do you expect forensics to find?

It's a shot in the dark.

Waste of time if you ask me.

Please, for me.

I hate it when you do that.

Thanks.

Steve Float.

Who is it?

Let's put him in trauma, too. Dr.
Travis?

I got it. Page Dr. Sloan now.

Severe beating to the head and abdomen.

Pulse 102.

BP 105 over 70.

Hey, guys.

Get him in here. I might count, okay?

One, two, three.

Steve?

Can you hear me, buddy?

Good. You're in the emergency room, and
we're going to take real good care of

you, okay?

Everything's okay. Pressure?

Stable.

Okay, give me a CT of his head, chest x
-ray, CDC, a UA and a KB.

I'm checking for hemorrhage and head
injury.

Are you even okay?

I'm okay, Dad.

I'll be all right.

Next on Diagnosis Murder. I want to know
what happened to my father. If you

don't cooperate, things are going to get
a lot worse for you and your father.

You have got to let it go. I'm warning
you. You never let go of anything.

Johnny McNamara, his father just died.
Get out. I'm sorry for your loss.

My father was old and frail and you
badgered him into the grave.

Don't run off. The fugitive is next.

Saturday, a lot of people talk about
taking back the streets, but one man is

doing something about it with a little
help from Hulk Hogan. Somebody's got to

make a stand. An all -new Walker, Texas
Ranger.

Then, someone's gunning down suspected
child molesters.

Using a website as a hit list.

And you won't believe who's pulling the
trigger.

Oh, my God. All -new District CBS.
