I'll take a smaller mess.

Uh, right. I meant the smaller car.

Oh, sorry. Thanks.

Uh,

let's see, Dr. Green.

You want to hit that with the saline?

See what we're doing here?

irrigate it real good.

Nurse, give me a medium sponge and I'm going to need that

retractor in a sec.

Okay, and give me the Snowden.

I think we can dispense with the cholangiogram. We'll get a biopsy for

but there's no history of college.

Another inch and we can negate it with a 2 -0 silk.

You had more time on this.

Let's clamp it with a bovie and... Nurse, I'm going to need a...

I'm going to need an extra set of hands here, Dr. Green.

Here you go.

Remind me next time don't come in here without a flashlight and a gun.

Get a T -tube on it. We'll worry about

a reset later.

How about an icky -dicky sponge, nurse?

Uh -huh. Well, we're almost there.

Ah, I was gonna say, that he's in our old friend's cool himnodularis.

I'm assuming that they'll have me.

I don't see why not.

You doing internal action?

So, Jenny, what are your plans after Brad graduates?

Um, keep him working, I guess.

Really? Even with your fiancé here about to be a doctor?

Well, I do have my own career to think about.

Oh, come on, Jenny.

Don't you think a little lying by the pool is in order?

No, I don't think so.

People!

People, I want to thank you for helping us celebrate the end of our work for

another year.

As you know, the last few weeks are a busy time in the admissions office, but

I look around and see so many current students, some of whom will be leaving

shortly, I'm reminded of why it's all worth it.

At this time, I would like to thank my staff for their excellent work, and that

includes Mr. Foreman.

Donna Walters.

Stanley Jackson.

And, um... Oh, dear.

Am I leaving anyone out?

Oh, yes. Jenny. Jenny Sloan. Thank you all.

Enjoy yourselves.

Thank you.

Brad.

Does it ever bother you when people say stuff about me?

Like what?

Well, like what Jocelyn was saying about how I should be lounging by the pool

because you're a doctor now.

Never really thought about it.

Is that what they think about me?

Honey, I mean, it's not like you're career -oriented.

Look at the precedent you've set. I mean, what have you done the last couple

years?

Like what?

All right, like the time you applied for the job at the television station.

They said I needed more experience, Brad.

And the newspaper?

Same thing, more experience.

Same thing. Both times you come up against an obstacle and you quit.

You know, most people, when they have a door slammed in their face, they don't

give up. They try harder.

Just because I didn't know what I wanted to do from age two doesn't mean I don't

care. Mm -hmm.

What, you always knew you wanted to be a doctor?

Yes.

I gotta get a newspaper.

You want anything?

No.

You really got yourself caught.

Give this guy a dark brown aorta.

It'll still be good.

Okay.

Let's get a nasal gastric tube within a minute. Now I ask for your final

thoughts.

Hey, do you want a round of fun?

Oh.

You have a visitor, Doc.

Okay. Jerry, where's Steph?

Hey, Bert.

How are you? Good, and you?

Good. That was a dumpster where the body was found.

Uh -huh.

A girl was sitting in her car.

Her boyfriend was inside. She thought she heard some noise.

She went to take a look.

Any ID?

On the victim? No.

Caucasian, female, late 40s, B &B, naked.

Is that a crime?

Could be.

I don't know. You tell me.

Kind of weird, huh?

Yeah. First interest and everything.

Jackson, get him back.

Get out of here. I found the body.

This girl out here, Sloan. Jenny Sloan.

She doesn't know anything, though.

I want to talk to her.

What did you think when you found the body?

What did I think?

I didn't think anything.

But you were scared, right? Scared and horribly startled?

Yes, I was startled.

Miss, we need to ask you a few questions.

Rumors of possible cult involvement have already been circulating as coroners

prepare to move the body.

Presiding over the crime scene now, we see Detective Burt Miller.

Detective Miller?

Excuse me, Detective Miller, do police have any leads at all?

Lizzie, I got no comment at this point.

I feel kind of weird.

Not surprising.

Not a dead body tonight.

Listen, I just wanted to say I'm sorry.

What for?

Well, I've been kind of a jerk lately, and I've had a lot of studying to do,

you know.

Well, I just realized I'm a med student.

Brad, could you hold me, please?

Honey, I've got to finish this chapter. I have an exam tomorrow morning.

What?

I like it.

Better?

So let me get this straight, Detective Miller.

You entered the apartment without a search warrant.

That's right. I was chasing the suspect, and it was incidental to an arrest.

Ah, I see.

And then what did you do next?

Well, I heard running water, so I entered the bathroom.

By turning the knob?

No, the door was locked. I threw my weight against it.

And then what did you do?

There was someone in the shower.

I see.

And do criminals often take showers when they're hiding out from the police?

Oh, come on, I was chasing the guy. I figured if he was... Miller, answer the

questions. It seemed reasonable to assume that if the perpetrator was

the bathroom, he might want to turn on the water and pretend to be taking a

shower, yes. Which I suppose accounts for what you did next.

Yeah.

Miller, please, just... I pointed my gun and pulled back the curtain.

And saw the perpetrator.

And now I saw Miss Barnes taking a shower.

I see.

So you were pointing a gun at a naked woman, and of course you immediately

to avert further misunderstanding.

No, sir.

Instead, what you said was, if I have this right, who the fuck

are you?

Well, that's...

Well, Detective Miller, I would not call that very professional conduct on your

part.

No, sir, neither would I. Miller, why don't you apologize to the lady, hmm?

Yes, sir.

Miss Barnes, I'm truly sorry for invading your privacy on the night of

14th while conducting my duties as a police officer.

My actions were inexcusable, and I fully regret both the damage to your

apartment and any distress or embarrassment I may have caused you.

That's in the instructions of my client. We'll be rejecting physical damages.

Great. Pending the full board investigation.

Absolutely.

Thank you.

We're very sorry.

Thank you for coming in.

Miller?

Yeah.

She's got a kid.

Why don't you get yourself a haircut?

Yes, sir.

Very funny,

very funny.

Mr. Miller, I hear there's a snipe in the ladies' room. You want to check it

out?

Why don't you sing me that rubber ducky song? One after nine. We have a 4 -11 in

the lingerie department. Repeat, 4 -11 in progress.

Don't any of you idiots have any work to do?

See you in a second, Dad.

Got to get a new blade.

Cry out loud, Charlie. You think maybe you could spell it out for me in

terms this time?

Somebody gave her a laparotomy.

A laparotomy?

Abdominal surgery.

Usually exploratory.

In this case, he removed a piece of her stomach.

He's not a surgeon.

Like I say, it's recognizable as a laparotomy.

He knows the basic steps, but that's about it.

And she didn't need it.

Well, you have to check and see what he took out to know for sure, but offhand,

no way.

Anesthetic? None.

Like the last case.

He uses pavulon.

It's a muscle relaxer. It's a paralyzer, really.

It means the victim's awake, but unable to move or see.

Surgeons use it to control involuntary spasms, always with an anesthetic.

Anything topical?

Anything topical anesthetic?

Well, we're checking, but it doesn't look like it.

Chloroform is the same.

Traces around the nose and mouth.

Evidently, he uses it to subdue the victim, and then it wears off.

It means she couldn't move, but she could feel everything.

I know.

Cause of death is sepsis, not shock or blood loss.

That means that she was alive for at least 12 hours after the operation.

Bert, if I had any doubts after the first case, I don't anymore.

Yeah, looks like we got some asshole out there thinks he's a doctor.

Mm -hmm.

Something else, Bert.

April 17th, 1994.

It was about a year ago. You remember him?

Sure, Mendez, Raul Mendez.

Found him in a rest area with his leg chopped off below the knee.

Right.

Because he had a felony route for dealing that cops called it drug

Yeah, it was a gang war, turf rivalry, that's what they were in. Right.

You know, something always bugged me about that.

I put it in my report.

Incision.

It's too clean.

It's precise.

Like it was done with surgical instruments.

So you're saying... I'm saying it wasn't chopped off.

It was amputated.

Make it quick. I got a date with the mayor.

I got Dickerson's people working on records.

We're working on psychos and everything. There you go, Cap. All kinds involving

mutilation. We're also going to set up a hotline. I got Penny McAllister going

door -to -door in the areas where the victims were abducted. Okay, hotline's

good. Now, did anybody see anything?

Not so far.

What about fingerprints?

No, we're not going to get those. You know, we found talcum powder on the

He's wearing gloves.

Okay, I want you to double the patrols in both these areas.

You might hit somewhere else, but let's be prepared.

Polito?

Where the hell's Polito?

Downstairs. I don't know. She's doing the best she can. She's running through

the system.

What else you got?

The key is he's well -equipped with surgical equipment. We just got to

out how he's getting it. Obviously, he's got some kind of line into a hospital

or supply house.

You sure about this medical stuff?

Positive. It all fits. The ME says the first case had to be a laparotomy. It

couldn't be anything but.

Oh, if you're wrong about this, Miller. I'm not. Believe me, I got a hunch.

Your ideas have been wrong in the past.

Trust me. I don't have a doubt in my mind.

That's what I'm afraid of.

You'd be a good boy now.

All set, Captain? We're out of here.

I know,

sir.

Jenny, hi.

What are you doing here?

We're having lunch.

Lunch? Oh, I can't have lunch.

Why? I'm sorry. I'm on a call.

All right. I have it right here.

Well, hello.

Why didn't you call me?

I'm sorry. I was running late, and I know I should have called. I have no

excuse, but I can't have lunch. Well, okay. You have to eat, so I'll just wait

for you. No.

Look, I'll catch up with you, okay?

Tony's just really riding us today.

I've got to stick with him, okay?

So, let us see you later tonight, okay?

Hey, Hank.

Any luck with that drug company yet?

You asked Heinemann to do that.

Oh. Gwen?

Yeah, they've got a list of buyers long enough to break your heart.

It'll take a week at least.

What did I tell you to do?

Find out if any Looney Tunes doctors got suspended by the AMA.

You do it yet?

Not yet.

Why not?

It's after six.

I'm off duty and I have a criminology exam.

You mind telling me what's so important about a criminology exam? You're not

doing it?

Uh -huh.

John Jay School of Justice, my friend.

If you ask me, it's a wonder you got admitted to the academy, let alone some

John Jay School of Justice.

That's very cute.

That's it.

What? K .K.? Admitting.

You want to get admitted, you go through the admissions office.

Come on, let's take a ride.

You want what?

I apologize. I got off on the wrong foot again.

What we're talking about are just the names.

A fishing expedition, in other words?

Not at all, Mrs. Baldwin. Detectives, being rejected from one of the top

universities does not make someone a mass murderer.

I'm aware of that, Mrs. Baldwin. We're not talking about a mass murderer.

Hey, who's getting the death sentence?

Some guy named Miller.

Looks like a cop.

Detective Miller?

The guy in the case?

I don't know.

Said he wanted to see the director of admissions.

Here, let me do this.

You actually want to do some work for a change?

Yes.

We're talking about someone who's killed two or three people, depending on

whether you...

Consider the Mendez case. Now, what we are interested in are the names of...

sorry, that's out of the question.

...repeat applicants, maybe people who've applied three or four times.

Absolutely out of the question.

You know our files are confidential.

But this person would be grossly unqualified.

His application would stand out a mile away.

Detective, have you any idea of the lawsuits?

We could get a court order, so... So get a court order. But you're going to need

one for every application that you pull from those files.

And I want you to know that our lawyers are going to find you every step of the

way.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

Thank you, Mrs. Baldwin.

Thank you very much.

What are you doing? Shh!

You're late.

Damn, Chief. I thought you said on the phone it was a Volvo.

Don't you see? Convicted drug dealer found slain. I found it in the

Jenny.

Look, Mendez was killed on April 17, 1994.

Last year, the rejection letters were sent out on the 15th. That means that

killer, something like, the killer got his letter, something like happened

inside of him, and he killed Mendez that night.

What if I'm right?

Okay. So what are you saying? If I hadn't gotten into med school, that I'd

out carving people up?

No. Just because you got a 98 on your stupid admissions test doesn't mean that

everyone else did.

All right.

Tell me this.

Why hasn't he killed anyone else in the past year?

What? Okay, so a year ago, this guy killed someone. Now, a whole year

there's nothing, and all of a sudden, he killed someone this last week? Why?

Maybe it's dormant or something. Like, it only happens one time a year.

Dormant?

Seasonal killer.

Mm -hmm.

Great.

Good, Jenny.

Why don't you tell me you love me anymore?

Jenny, I love you more than anything in the world.

I do.

More than anything.

More than anything.

There you go.

More cookies?

More ice cream?

than my patient.

Fuck it!

Can you show me the spleen?

No, it's the ilium.

Do you remember I said that the ilium is part of the small intestine?

I asked for the spleen.

Hi.

Now, let's try the liver.

Can you show me the liver, Will?

That's the heart.

You did that already.

I asked for the liver.

No.

That's the pancreas.

Now, do you remember which one we just said was the...

Intubated the patient.

Good. I guess we're ready to go in.

Dr. Green, you want to do the honor?

You want to sit?

I'll take a number 10, nerd.

We don't need a 7 -inch modified McBurney.

Is that quite process?

Just relax, my friend. It's a drug you can't move.

Incising the rectus sheath?

Dr.

Blue.

How we doing?

Uh -huh. Well, keep me posted.

Uh, nurse, you want to clean that up a bit?

Thanks. I'm going to need a double end.

Uh -huh.

Yeah, I see it.

Dr. Green, you want to... Yeah, right there.

Hold it like that.

Sort of adjust it.

Honey, you got a bigger sponge.

This one's not doing the job.

Actually, uh...

Thanks. Ah, here, I'm not going to split your finger on the duct.

And, ah,

very good.

Very nice.

Okay, we're getting down to it.

Dr. Green, do you want to run the colon, or shall we let sleeping dogs lie?

Well, we're almost home.

Let's get some suction for the anterior porceva.

Mm -hmm.

I'm gonna need a diva.

I'm gonna get this guy packed up.

Okay.

Oh. Got a bleeder.

What's Dr. Collier suspended for?

Uh -huh.

How many times?

It's called a striker saw.

Strike... S -T -R -Y -K -E -R.

It's a bone saw.

What do you mean you don't know what it is? Your company makes the damn thing,

for Christ's sake.

We know about him. We've been through him backwards and forwards.

Yep. Yeah, he's as clean as it looks. He moved to Oregon, for Christ's sake.

Yeah.

Uh -huh.

So, yep, next guy.

Well, how long ago did you start making them?

Really, how long ago was that?

Do you have records of your customers at the time?

Good,

we're going to need those, yeah.

All right, what about warranties?

Well, if he's dead, why didn't you say so?

No, no, no, no, no.

Warranties.

Like Black and Decker.

You just be grateful I'm not coming out there myself to get it.

Out of 213 doctors, that's it?

Okay, yeah.

Look, yeah, we'll get back.

Thanks.

with the clothes.

Huh?

Victim's clothes.

He's gonna be wearing something when he grabs them.

I don't know. What are you asking me for?

Just thinking out loud.

You want a question?

I got a question for you.

What's he doing with the organs?

Organs?

He's cutting people up, right?

What's he doing with the organs?

You think we should be looking for organs? I'm not saying that.

I'm saying you cut some guy's leg off, right? Where is it?

What'd he do with it?

I don't know.

We should put out an APB for the leg.

Hey, listen, man.

You're the one I like to think out loud.

Does it look better?

Yes, it does look better.

Okay, I'm off.

Jenny, make sure you turn out the lights, okay?

Okay. Good night, Sandy.

Good night, Jenny.

You know, Jen, I would swear that this is the first time I've ever seen you

past 6 o 'clock.

What are you trying to do, steal Rita's job?

No, I just am trying to get my paperwork done before the weekend.

I'm not sure I like this new ambitious you.

Stanley, go home. Feed your fish.

Okay. See you later.

Okay.

Anyone who's applied three times or more.

One.

See you.

Is anybody there?

Uh, Mrs. Baldwin.

Hi.

Jenny. What are you doing here at this time? I thought you went home.

No, I'm doing some late -night copying.

Listen, I forgot the file for that guy. What was the name?

Richard Klein.

Here you go.

Thanks. Yeah.

Now tell me, what were you doing here so late?

Um... Honestly, I was doing some copying for Brad.

Oh. Yeah. I was... Copying his resume for... He's going up for internships.

Wow.

Good night.

Okay. Turn out the lights, okay? Absolutely.

And go home.

All right.

This is an illegal arrest.

So shut up. No, I don't have to shut up. I know my rights.

Shut the hell up. Harry, give me a hand with this.

You can make it tough.

Mm -hmm.

What's up, big boy?

Not me.

I'm here to see Detective Miller.

He's not here right now.

Cut from Harry.

Hi. Hi.

Maybe we should use his.

Well, it's really important that I speak to him.

Well, here, then you can take my spot. Relax.

And I said he's not here right now. What do you want me to do?

Could you make sure that he gets this place?

Yeah, sure.

Thank you, Rob.

The question on a lot of viewers' minds is, will Randy Olsen still be competing

in the slalom in next week's Pro -Am National Water Ski Tour?

That's a tough question, Joe. As you might imagine, Olsen is very shaken up

the experience. I'm telling you, this was the same girl who found the body.

Some snitch in the admissions office gives you the applications. I mean, what

kind of way is that to catch a killer? It is your head, Hank. These people want

to be doctors. Some of them apply three, four times. So?

So it's called following your instincts. Humor me.

Instincts? What are we going to do, sniff the guy out? Listen up, you might

learn something.

Detective in Florida, working a homicide out of Tallahassee. He's got a body,

he's got a suspect, he's got a timeline, puts the suspect in the area of the

shooting. He hasn't got one thing. You know what that one thing is? Murder

weapon. So what does he do?

Get the search warrant.

Wrong. Tried that.

Figures a gun's stashed somewhere and the guy's just waiting for a chance to

pitch it.

So what does he do?

How do I know?

Go fishing.

Fishing. Yeah, well, if it's day off, figures he's going to spend some time

on his boat.

So he's out there underneath that intercoastal bridge they got there.

Over the bridge comes zooming by this souped -up Camaro, and out flies this

falls, lands right in his bait box.

No way.

Yeah, it's the same gun he's been looking for.

So what are you saying? That we should go fishing?

How does that relate?

It relates, Hank, because it's luck. It's all luck.

Homicide, it's all luck. And the sooner you realize that, the sooner you get

your nose out of that book, the sooner you're going somewhere.

Harry, how do I look?

How do you look?

Yeah, yeah, put some of that, you know, moose shit in my hair, so.

It's, um, well, it's, um,

better.

Keep working.

It's getting better.

Thought I might find you here alone.

It's Jenny.

Yeah, Burt Miller.

I know.

It's on your card.

Yeah, I wanted to thank you personally for those applications.

You're welcome.

I hope they helped you some.

It's early.

Which way are you headed?

That way.

So you went to school here?

Yep. Four years.

That's more than I can say.

What did you study?

English literature. I wanted to be a teacher.

Yeah.

Then I wanted to be a journalist.

Worked for a paper or a news station or something like that.

You did good on TV.

No, I didn't want to be on it. I wanted to work behind the scenes.

Oh.

Yeah, my crazy ideas.

All those crazy ideas, and here I am.

Working for the admissions office.

Yeah, you don't seem too thrilled about that.

Oh, no, it's okay.

It's a job.

Anyway, my boyfriend's a med student, so, you know, it worked out okay.

So, um... This person's gonna keep on killing, right?

Yeah.

Then the files didn't help you?

No, but it was a good idea.

Thanks.

Happy Saturday.

I think we can save the baby.

Huh.

Don't ask.

I had two patients crump on me, and Dwyer says I'm on call all next week.

Fred, what is this book?

Textbook of Surgery by Saviston.

Do a lot of students have this book?

Standard textbook, Jenny.

Damn it, I thought you were going to do laundry.

You do the laundry.

Common Name My Ass is the biggest political fundraiser in the state who

happens to be the mayor's best friend and chairman of the re -election

committee. Common Name, Common Name My Ass. Sir, just give me a chance. And

Dennis Conrad's son, Philip the Apple, of his goddamn eye is hauled into a

murder investigation, you better come up with some answers for me. We didn't

haul him in. I just asked him a couple of questions.

That's right, Miller. You interrogated him. What are you doing, man?

He applied three times.

Is that against the law?

No, sir, but it establishes... Oh, bullshit, Miller. The department's head

in this thing, and it's because of you.

Now, the mayor's looking for results in this thing. What am I supposed to tell

him? Well, sir, we interrogated your godson, but he had an alibi.

All I'm saying is the fact he applied three times. It establishes a strong

desire. Oh, come on.

Corpses turning up in recreation areas all over town. What are you doing about

it? Harassing a bunch of would -be doctors with information you shouldn't

have in the first place?

Conrad and his son are going to be here in 45 minutes.

And you better have an apology for him. You better apologize to him or I'm going

to kick your ass.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Stanley, what are you laughing about?

Oh, man.

This guy will not quit.

What guy?

This dude I found under the Xerox machine.

What?

I had to check the power unit on the copier.

Because apparently if you black around here, then your job description is

automatically slash handyman.

Oh, of course then. Yeah, yeah.

So I move the machine, and this guy's underneath.

I mean, get this.

You know the essay question, why I want to be a doctor?

He says, to heal the sick.

That's it.

It's supposed to be a 500 -word essay, right? All this guy can come up with is,

to heal the sick.

Where did this guy go to college?

Grackle fate, technical and mineral.

I mean, look at this guy. He even looks bizarre.

Willie Knapp.

1501 Cascade Avenue.

Mm -hmm. It's right here in town.

And check out his MCATs.

Man, with scores like this, this guy shouldn't even take medicine, much less

study it.

Oh, that'll play.

No, no, I think that's going to clear the rough.

Well, Dr.

G, you're up, old man.

Give it a ride.

Oh, looks like you caught the trap, huh?

Well, let's see if we go double or nuts on the back nine, huh?

No, no, no, no, no. I have to speak to him. I'm from the admissions office at

the medical center.

Detective Miller knows who I am. You met me the other day. Wait, wait, wait.

Admissions office? What are you talking about? I have no idea what you're

referring to. It's just... Detective Miller!

I've got it. I know who did it. Listen to me. Well, I don't really know if this

is the guy, but just look at this. Read it. Read it. Okay?

Who's this?

She works in the admissions office.

Hi.

Oh.

Mr. Conrad, how are you? Phillip, why don't you guys come on in my office,

What? Oh.

You and I will talk, okay?

What's going on?

What's going on?

I'll see what. What's going on?

You're fine.

Yeah,

I think she's going to break a little from left to right.

Oh, you left it a little short. God, I hate when that happens.

So, what does that give you, Dr. G, a five? Hey, would you guys mind keeping

ball on your side of the fence?

So you can apologize? Forget it.

Yeah, look, I'm sorry. I didn't realize it would backfire like that.

Oh, well, now you realize.

Boy, you did a really great job sticking up for me in there.

Hey, I didn't make you give me those documents.

Oh, right, but the invitation was extended.

Nice boss, by the way.

Yeah, I know he's kind of a jerk, but he treats everyone like that, so...

You know, don't cut yourself too special.

Forget it. Oh, wait, wait.

Hey, hey. Let me make it up to you.

Jenny.

What's wrong?

Oh.

How could you do this?

What did you possibly think you were going to accomplish?

I wanted to help. I thought I was helping.

What? With some half -ass idea?

Can't you once just act like a normal human being?

I just wanted to help.

You're incapable of the simplest things.

Do you realize what could happen if that kid decides to sue the medical school?

Do you ever think what could happen to me?

I mean, do you ever think?

I got fired.

Mrs. Baldwin said I can't come back to work.

I'm going to be on call the rest of the week.

Eight, ten,

and twelve.

Anything else?

No.

Ordinarily, I'd say you're sniffing the stuff.

But the way you go through it, you wouldn't have no brain left.

Ain't no brain damage.

What are you talking about?

I don't know. Mouth from the blue.

No? You never heard that?

Never.

So, uh... So what kind is... What kind is what?

The airplane you're working on, is it a Messerschmitt or a Glencoe?

It's at the airport.

Yeah, 1650.

Captain gave you a tough time, huh?

Yeah. Hey, you try telling him about your buddy's fish box?

Bait box.

Oh.

You know the problem with this guy?

Oh, you mean the killer guy we're talking about?

He never gets his victims the same way twice.

He always leaves them in a different place.

During the day, at night.

Bombs professional people.

He never leaves them the same way, either.

Yeah.

It's almost as if he doesn't have an M .O.

Whoa!

Did you see that, bro?

What?

I'm standing there minding my own business. Gun falls out of the sky into

cup. Shut up.

Oh, wait. It's not a gun, man.

It's a bone saw.

Yeah, I know where it is.

You got another one?

I'll be with 405. Come on.

Where is it?

Where am I?

What the hell is it? Where am I? What is this place?

What the hell are you going to do with that?

Now, now, you just relax. I'll be back in a few minutes.

You just take it easy.

Take it easy? The last thing I remember, I was in the parking lot eating a

burrito, and the next thing I'm... What the... What the hell is this? Am I...

Dr. Blue, have you intubated the patient?

Dr. Blue?

Where?

Ready when you are, Dr. Brown.

Give it a couple minutes.

Hold on.

What? Something's wrong.

What are the vitals?

What are you talking about my vitals?

Did you check for bicarb tolerance?

Bicarb! God damn it!

What?

What?

He's dilating.

What's his amylase?

We've got a reaction.

Nurse! Call the CAC!

He's got a V -tach.

10 cc's.

of this inside?

Sewed it in tight.

It's called a Snowden double -end retractor.

I, uh... I know.

She would have had a hell of a malpractice, too.

Who wears gloves?

Yeah, so we'll look.

I think we'll find any prints, but the thing is, uh... Here.

Royal Hospital.

You got it.

One other thing we know.

That retractor, it's old.

What do you mean old?

I mean it's old. It's obsolete.

That model was only used between 1979 to 84.

So this guy's dating himself.

Exactly.

Whoever got it from Cranston definitely got it between those dates.

Thanks, truck.

Thanks.

I can't believe she fired you. I mean, just like that. Just bam.

Yeah, well... I mean, no two weeks notice, no severance pay, no nothing.

it's not like I had a future here anyway.

So, what kind of job do you think you're going to get next?

I don't know. Maybe I'll go join a circus or something. Listen, I really

want to be alone right now, okay?

Thanks. The nightmare continues.

Let's get him mad.

It's not enough to give me the names, Miller. You've got to tell me what I'm

looking for. I'm telling you, you're looking for criminal record, history of

mental illness, and gross medical misconduct. But what if he's not a

If he's not a surgeon, then we go to the nurses. If it's not the nurses, then we

go to the administration, the catering staff, right on down the line. But

talking about anyone who ever worked at the hospital.

That's right, and we're going to start with the surgeons.

I don't know, Miller.

It's a big job.

Little, get out of here.

Yeah, it looks it. He's got two burns on his chest.

They could be from any.

I'll have to get him to the lab to know for sure. How long has he been dead?

Depends on how long he's been out.

He's moving faster.

I just got a tox report on the last case, Bert.

Yeah? He's not using pavulon anymore.

Either he ran out or it doesn't suit his purposes.

What's the user now?

Epoxy.

It's an important question.

Brad?

Jenny.

All right, I know what you're thinking.

I know exactly what you're feeling. If you'll just let me explain. Jenny!

And what did he look like, ma 'am?

How tall?

And what makes you think he's the killer, ma 'am?

Here's the info on that epoxy.

It's not going to help much.

This stuff is sold in half the hobby shops in town, plus mail order.

Thanks. Suspicious of what way, ma 'am?

He's got another concerned citizen.

Yeah. Well, he's really coming out of the woodwork, huh?

I guess.

Ma 'am.

Ma 'am.

Just because your neighbor looks weird does not mean that we can bring him in

for questioning.

Any luck on that tow truck?

Not a damn thing.

The prints belong with a driver and some guy on a day shift.

Uh -huh.

And when did he kick your dog?

I'm out of here. And on the basis of that, you're telling me he's a killer?

I'm sorry. I have an emergency. I have to go. Bye. Take care. Bye.

Sorry,

Miller. Nothing yet.

Keep going.

Get her prepped for a CAT scan and notify radiology.

Oh, we got a little contusion right here.

Hey, Jenny, Jenny, calm down.

It's okay.

Let us get you fixed up. You hit your head, Jenny.

Please, you've got to help me.

This nap has Mr. Baldwin and Brad.

You've got to call the police.

I can't hold her legs. Hit your head. The editor got you here from the

university as soon as possible.

This isn't working. Give me some diazepam.

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.

You all right now? Okay, okay.

You've got some bruises.

You're going to run back, all right?

Nurse, what is taking so long?

I'm coming, doctor.

Security! Security!

Detective Miller, please?

What do you mean he's in the country?

No, I... Well, can he be reached?

No, I don't need to speak to him. I want him to meet me.

What part do you not understand?

1501 Cascade Avenue.

1501.

Look, it's really important that he meet me right away.

I need you to sign this.

What is this?

It's a release form.

You're going to let me go?

No. It's a release form. It indemnifies me in case you're not satisfied with the

results.

Results of what?

Cosmetic surgery.

Cosmetic surgery?

Liposuction. Are you mad?

What are you doing to me?

We're going to take care of that undescended testicle.

Wait a minute, Harry. That's all she said? Meet me at 1501 Cascade? It has to

more than that. That's it.

That's all she said.

Have Detective Miller meet me.

So what, I'm just supposed to drop everything and head over there?

Hey, Bert, I think she might be on to something.

That's the address of one of our surgeons. A guy named Knapp.

Dr. Wilfred Knapp.

You know this guy?

You're saying this guy lives there?

No, the guy's dead.

He died in 82.

This is strictly pre -op.

Look,

look. What are you... Now, now, just take it easy. We don't want anyone

an infection, do we?

Look, why don't you finish her first?

Hold still.

At least sterilize the razor.

How are we doing here?

of what you are doing?

Are you all right?

Are

you

all right?

Back to the unit.

I'm the assisting physician.

The what?

The assisting physician. You did phone the Institute, didn't you?

Uh... Yes, I guess I did.

It would be an honor to work with you, Dr. Knapp.

It would? Of course. It's not every day that I get to work with a famous

surgeon.

I am?

Sure.

Where are the patients?

What do you think?

Well, this is some facility, doctor.

You just sit tight for a second.

Drawing the fat cells into the cannula here and through the tubing.

And into the suction unit.

Here.

Taking utmost care not to molest the many delicate veins in the

upper leg.

Shall we proceed?

Yes.

Doctor, how much of the gluteus do you plan on removing?

Roughly 1 ,100.

Cubic centimeters.

Divided equally?

I should hope so.

It's what the patient requested.

I didn't request a goddamn thing! Shut up!

Well, yes, um, so has the patient been grounded?

Grounded? The electricity of the suction when the fat hits the fire.

lawsuit on your hands, do you?

I beg your pardon?

Well, not that I'm doubting your expertise at all, Doctor.

Don't be ridiculous.

I've done this operation a hundred times. God, rounding a patient.

What did you say your name was?

Uh, Dr. Earhart.

My usual anesthesiologist is Dr. Blue.

Yes, well, Dr. Blue's on vacation.

He is?

Yeah, well, um, I believe he's golfing for a week.

Dr. Blue doesn't play golf.

He gave it up.

Uh, well, maybe he's playing tennis.

Tennis, golf, I didn't... Just exactly who are you? I've never seen you in this

hospital before.

Well, I'm an intern.

You're no doctor.

It's a long story.

You all right? You okay? Yeah, I'm okay. I just feel a little shaky in the

knees.

Can't somebody get me off of this thing?

Brad, shut up.

back in the 80s. Everything the kid had, the house, all the surgical stuff, the

car, was all his old man.

All right, guys, let's do our final close.

A reign of terror ended today as a frustrated would -be doctor, 28 -year

Willie Knapp, was taken into custody.

Knapp, who applied to medical school five times, may well be accepted at a

institution, the federal prison.

I didn't stick up for you the other day. I'm sorry.

It's no, it's okay.

No, it's not.

I should have stuck up for you.

Okay.

So what's going to happen?

That?

Well, if he lives, I'll have to determine if he's sane enough to stand

Between you and me, I think the answer to that's obvious.

So he's going to go to a mental institution.

Yeah, I imagine so.

Hey, you need anything?

Water, soda?

No. Okay, partner.

Thanks.

You did good, partner.

Real good.

So I got something for you here.

I thought I was tacked to the wall inside.

I thought maybe you might want to do something.

Yeah. Like burn.

Gotcha.

I've got to get back to work.

Oh.

Look,

maybe we should keep in touch.

Maybe we can get together sometime.

What do you think?

Yes. I'd like that, yes.

how everybody always wants to be a doctor. You too, huh?

Not me, no.

Oh, yeah, no, me neither. I always thought I looked like a pretty lousy

What about you?

I don't know.

I've never known what I wanted to do.

How's being a cop?

Well... Being a cop's okay, I guess.

I'll call you Okay
