CAPTIONING MADE POSSIBLE BY
ARTISAN ENTERTAINMENT

[SIREN]

DR. HECKETT IS ONE OF THE MOST
HIGHLY REGARDED PSYCHIATRISTS

IN THIS COUNTRY.

HE SPECIALIZES
IN SHORT-TERM CASES.

MILD TRAUMA,
DRUG ADDICTION, DEPRESSION.

THE KIND OF WORK
THAT WE DO HERE

CAN BE VERY DEMANDING.

[AMERICAN ACCENT]
I CAN HANDLE IT.

THERE'S A LOT MORE
TO PSYCHIATRIC NURSING

THAN JUST TAKING CARE
OF PEOPLE.

YOUR RESUME CLEARLY SHOWS
THAT YOU HAVE

A LOT OF EXPERIENCE
IN NURSING,

AND THAT YOU'RE QUALIFIED
WITH DRUGS.

YES, SISTER.

I WORKED AT
SAINT BASS IN PERTH

FOR THE LAST
2 YEARS.

AND BEFORE
I TRAINED,

I TOOK CARE
OF MY FATHER AT HOME

IN THE STATES
FOR A YEAR.

HE WAS ON AN I.V.

AND INTRAGASTRIC
TUBE AND A CATHETER.

WHAT WAS HIS CONDITION?

HE HAD A STROKE.
COMPLETE PARALYSIS.

WHY WASN'T HE
IN A HOSPITAL?

MY MOTHER DIDN'T
WANT THAT,

AND WE COULDN'T AFFORD
A PRIVATE NURSE.

THAT MUST'VE BEEN
VERY HARD ON YOU.

HOWEVER,
A NURSE SHOULD NOT

BECOME EMOTIONALLY INVOLVED
WITH HER PATIENTS,

ESPECIALLY
IN PSYCHIATRIC TREATMENT.

I SURVIVED.

WELL...
HOW'D IT GO?

$4.99.

CHAMPAGNE! MAGGIE,
YOU GOT THE JOB.

OOH! HA HA HA.

IT'S JUST PART TIME
RIGHT NOW,

BUT I KNOW THEY'LL SOON
GIVE ME A PERMANENT POST.

CONGRATULATIONS!

♪ YOU'RE IN
THE MONEY ♪

CHAMPAGNE!
VERY NICE.

YOU HAVEN'T PAID RENT
FOR 3 MONTHS.

BUT, I'M GLAD YOU'RE
ENJOYING YOURSELVES.

I-I PROMISE YOU'LL
HAVE THE RENT MONEY

NEXT WEEK.
I JUST GOT A JOB.

MM. YOU BETTER,
OR YOU'RE OUT.

SHUT THE DOOR.

[GIGGLES]

I KNEW
YOU COULD DO IT.

TV: EVEN HERE,
IN THE GREEN.

THE MORE WE CARE
ABOUT THE GREEN PLANET,

THE MORE IT WILL
RETURN TO US,

AND TO OUR CHILDREN,
BY WAY OF

LIFE-SUSTAINING
RESOURCES,

AND GET THE ATTENTION
OF THE WORLD.

IT'S TIME TO TAKE HEED
AND LISTEN TO THE EARTH.

OK, MR. McCARTHY,
BACK INTO BED.

THERE WE GO.

WOULD YOU LIKE
A BOOK TO READ?

AHH...

I SEE YOU LIKE
THE CROSSWORD PUZZLES.

I LIKE THEM, TOO.

Nurse: THEY'RE DR. HECKETT'S
DEEP SEDATION PATIENTS.

WHAT'S THAT?

I DON'T REALLY KNOW.
I TELL YOU ONE THING, THOUGH.

IT'S PRETTY AWFUL.
THEY MESS THEMSELVES.

MAKES IT SO HARD
TO KEEP THEM CLEAN.

AFTER A WHILE,
WE JUST PUT PANTS ON THEM.

OH, NURSE...

LOOK, I NEED A FAVOR.

I PROMISED
TO PICK UP DR. HECKETT

AT THE UNIVERSITY
THIS EVENING.

HE'S GIVING A LECTURE.
WOULD YOU BE A SWEETHEART,

AND PICK HIM UP FOR ME
AFTER YOUR SHIFT?

OH, LOOK, IT'S OK.
I CLEARED IT

WITH SISTER KEREBY,
MAGGIE.

HERE'S HIS CAR KEYS.
IT'S THE ROVER.

DRIVE CAREFULLY.

AND, AS WELL AS BEING
A PROMINENT MEMBER

OF THE WORLD HEALTH
ORGANIZATION,

THE HEAD OF THE ELYSIAN
FIELDS PSYCHIATRIC CLINIC,

DIRECTOR OF THE RESEARCH
UNIT AT BARRINGHAM,

HE IS A CONSULTING
PSYCHIATRIST

AT 4 COUNTY HOSPITALS.

HE ALSO MAINTAINS A VERY
HEALTHY PRIVATE PRACTICE.

[LAUGHTER]

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

MAY I PRESENT TO YOU

THE MAN WHO
WAS ONCE DESCRIBED

AS THE WHITE KNIGHT
OF AUSTRALIAN PSYCHIATRY--

DR. JONATHAN HECKETT.

[APPLAUSE]

Maggie: HE'S A REALLY
INTERESTING MAN.

I WISH YOU HEARD
HIM TALK.

ARE YOU GOING
TO GO OUT WITH HIM?

NO. OF COURSE NOT.

OH, GOD. I'VE ALREADY
BEEN OUT WITH A COUPLE OF MINE.

WELL, I KNOW THAT,
BUT YOU WORK FAST.

WELL, IT IS THE EARLY BIRD
THAT CATCHES THE WORM.

OH, SPEAKING OF WORMS...

HI, MAGGIE.

HI, HUGH.

CAN I TALK TO YOU
FOR A SECOND?

DO YOU MIND?

SURE.

WHAT'LL YOU HAVE?

LITE BEER, PLEASE.

UH, SCOTCH AND COKE.

UM, I'M A BIT SHORT
RIGHT NOW.

I MISSED YOU.

GOOD.

ALL RIGHT, I KNOW
WHAT I PUT YOU THROUGH.

JUST SURPRISED YOU'RE
EVEN SPEAKING TO ME.

WHO SAYS I'M
SPEAKING TO YOU?

Hugh: COME ON, MAGGIE...

I'M NOT THAT MUCH
OF A BASTARD, AM I?

NO.

FRIENDS?

JUST FRIENDS.

OF COURSE.

[CLINK]

THAT DOESN'T
LOOK LIKE ME.

DOES THAT LOOK LIKE ME?

HOW'D YOU KNOW
I WEAR LEATHER KNICKERS?

HEY, WAIT A MINUTE.
GIVE ME A LOOK AT MAGGIE'S.

OOH!

I HAD NO IDEA.

LET ME SEE.

UH-UH-UH.
NO, NO, NO, NO.

HA HA HA.

RIGHT. I'M OFF.

KAYE...

KAYE...

'NIGHT, KIDS!

WHAT'RE YOU DOING?

COME ON, MAGGIE.
I'M NOT BLIND.

[SIGHS]

WELL, CAN I BORROW
YOUR QUILT?

YEAH. SURE.

HUGH, I'M REALLY TIRED.
I'M GOING TO GO TO BED.

I'VE GOT TO GO TO WORK
EARLY IN THE MORNING.

MAGGIE, COME HERE
FOR A SECOND.

SIT DOWN, PLEASE.

LOOK, I'VE HAD
A LOT OF TIME

TO THINK ABOUT IT.

I'VE QUIT THE DRUGS.

I'M GOING TO
THIS REHAB PROGRAM.

I'M EVEN GETTING
A JOB DOING GRAPHICS

FOR AN AD AGENCY.

IT'LL BE DIFFERENT
THIS TIME,

I PROMISE.

WHAT'S GOING
TO BE DIFFERENT?

I WANT US TO GET
BACK TOGETHER.

LOOK, I REALIZE
THE DRUGS WERE A CRUTCH.

BUT IF YOU CAME
BACK, I COULD DO IT.

[SIGHS]

OH, HUGH.

GOOD NIGHT, HUGH.

GOOD MORNING.

HOW DO YOU FEEL?

BETTER, THANKS.

YOU KNOW, KAYE HAS
GIVEN UP ON ME.

SHE THINKS I'M STILL
IN LOVE WITH YOU.

AND ARE YOU?

THERE'S A TEA BAG
IN THE CUPBOARD,

AND BREAD AND VEGEMITE
IF YOU WANT SOME TOAST.

TRY TO EAT SOMETHING
BEFORE YOU GO.

ARE YOU?

WHAT I WOULDN'T GIVE
FOR A BEER RIGHT NOW.

OH, YOU'RE FEELING BETTER,
ARE YOU, MR. McCARTHY?

NO THANKS
TO THIS PLACE.

WELL, I'M SURE

YOU'LL BE GOING
HOME SOON.

OH, I'M IN NO HURRY.

I'M GETTING TO LIKE

WATCHING YOU
MAKE THE BED.

OHH!

MR. McCARTHY, YOU GET
BACK IN THAT BED!

[PATIENTS TALKING]

NO, NO. IT'S A JOKE.

I DIDN'T MEAN IT
AT ALL.

YOU ALL JUST
QUIET DOWN!

I DON'T WANT TO GO
BACK TO BED.

I'M FIT.
I'M ALL RIGHT.

LOOK, I'M ALL RIGHT.

I DIDN'T HIT
ANYBODY.

LET HIM STAY OUT
A WHILE. HE'S ALL RIGHT.

BACK INTO BED,
MR. McCARTHY!

ALL OF YOU--
SETTLE DOWN NOW.

THIS IS
A HOSPITAL WARD,

NOT A GYMNASIUM.

QUIET THEM DOWN,
NURSE,

THEN COME
TO MY OFFICE.

NURSE HEALEY,

UNDERSTAND THIS
VERY CLEARLY...

WITH OUR SPECIALIZED TREATMENT
HERE AT ELYSIAN FIELDS,

WE ARE FORTUNATE
TO HAVE DR. JOHN HECKETT--

A PSYCHIATRIST OF WELL FAME
WHO SPECIALIZES IN THIS AREA.

HIS TREATMENT IS UNIQUE,

BUT IT IS BASED A LOT
ON OUR PATIENTS

NOT GETTING EXCITABLE
TO ANY EXTENT.

AND CERTAINLY NOT
TO THE DEGREE

I HAVE JUST WITNESSED
IN WARD "A."

[SIGHS]

OH, HUGH.

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

I THINK DR. LARK MUST'VE
SIGNED THIS BY MISTAKE.

HMM?

NO. THE DOCTOR HASN'T
MADE A MISTAKE.

UH, HE PRE-SIGNS
THE MEDICATION SHEETS,

SO THAT WE CAN KEEP

THE SEDATION PATIENTS
UNDER,

WITHOUT HAVING TO CALL
HIM EVERY 10 MINUTES.

WELL, HOW DOES HE KNOW
WHAT THE PATIENT NEEDS?

MAY I HELP YOU?

I'D LIKE TO SEE MY WIFE
MARIE RAFFIO.

I'M SORRY, WE DON'T
ALLOW ANY VISITORS

DURING THE DEEP SEDATION,
MR. RAFFIO.

YES, WE KNOW.

HE WANTS MRS. RAFFIO
DISCHARGED

FROM THIS HOSPITAL
TODAY.

I JUST WANT
TO SEE HER.

WELL, PERHAPS IF YOU SPOKE
WITH DR. HACKETT--

YOUR WIFE'S DOCTOR.

NO! HE WANTS
TO SEE HIS WIFE.

I'M SORRY.
I CAN'T DO THAT

WITHOUT
THE DOCTOR'S AUTHORITY.

COME ON.
WE'LL FIND HER.

HEY!

YOU CAN'T JUST BARGE
IN HERE LIKE THIS!

YOU'RE NOT
ALLOWED IN HERE.

THESE PEOPLE SHOULDN'T
BE BACK HERE.

WHERE IS MY WIFE?

GET BACK, PLEASE.
THANK YOU.

CALL THE POLICE,
NURSE.

WHAT HAVE YOU
DONE WITH HER?

THE MAN HAS
EVERY RIGHT

TO SEE HIS WIFE.

EXCUSE ME.
DO YOU MIND

TAKING YOUR HANDS
OFF ME?

ALL RIGHT, BACK.
THANK YOU.

I'LL SEE YOU
IN COURT ANYWAY.

STICK UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS,
MR. RAFFIO.

THEY'LL KILL HER
IF YOU LEAVE HER IN HERE.

SHE'S GOING TO DIE,
ISN'T SHE?

NO. SHE'S NOT
GOING TO DIE.

WHY DON'T YOU JUST LEAVE
THE POOR MAN ALONE?

MR. RAFFIO, YOUR WIFE
IS IN VERY SAFE HANDS.

WHAT WOULD YOU
KNOW ABOUT IT,

YOU BRAIN-WASHED IDIOT?

JUST LEAVE HIM
ALONE.

WHAT ARE YOUR
QUALIFICATIONS, ANYWAY?

YOU'RE UPSETTING HIM.

IT'S ALL RIGHT,
NURSE.

I MIGHT'VE KNOWN YOU
WERE BEHIND THIS.

WILL YOU BE PRESSING
CHARGES, DOCTOR?

NO. I DON'T
THINK SO, OFFICER.

THIS LADY HAS

A PSYCHIATRIC
HISTORY, HERSELF.

HA! YEAH.
I'M CRAZY.

DON'T LISTEN
TO A WORD I SAY.

WHAT'RE YOU
STARING AT?

I'M VERY SORRY,
OFFICER.

MR. RAFFIO'S UNDER
ENORMOUS STRESS--

EXCUSE ME, DOCTOR.

I WANT TO TAKE
MY WIFE HOME.

WELL, YOU CAN'T
TAKE HER

WHILE SHE'S UNDER
SEDATION, MR. RAFFIO.

BUT IF YOU LIKE,

I'LL HAVE HER READY
TO LEAVE IN 2 DAYS.

YES, I WOULD.

SISTER KEREBY, TAKE
MRS. RAFFIO DOWN

TO 150 MILLIGRAMS.

WE'LL BRING HER
OUT TOMORROW.

YES, DOCTOR.

THANK YOU.

COME, MR. RAFFIO.

YOU SEE, WE'RE NOT
KEEPING HER HERE BY FORCE.

I'M SORRY FOR MAKING
SUCH A FUSS, DOCTOR.

BACK TO WORK, NURSE.

SO, WE JUST BOP HER
ON THE HEAD

WITH A SEDATIVE.

IT'S LIKE TAKING
A LONG, DEEP SLEEP.

NO, NO.
GRAZIE.

WHEN SHE WAKES,

THE DEPRESSION
WILL BE GONE.

SHE'LL PROBABLY
QUIT SMOKING, TOO.

NURSE, WOULD YOU
GIVE MR. RAFFIO

A MILD SEDATIVE,
PLEASE,

AND GET HIM A TAXI?

AND TELL SISTER KEREBY
TO CONTINUE

MRS. RAFFIO'S
TREATMENT AS BEFORE.

DON'T YOU WORRY,
MR. RAFFIO.

YOUR WIFE IS GOING
TO BE FINE.

THANK YOU, DOCTOR.

Dr. Heckett: MM-HMM?

AH, MAGGIE.

THANK YOU.

WOULD YOU LIKE
A DRINK?

OH, NO, THANK YOU.
I'M STILL ON DUTY.

DON'T WORRY
ABOUT KEREBY.

HER BARK'S WORSE
THAN HER BITE.

OH, BY THE WAY,

I HAD HER CHASE UP
THAT PAYCHECK OF YOURS

AS SOON AS YOU'D LEFT.

THANK YOU, DOCTOR.

I'D JUST LIKE TO SAY

THE WAY YOU HANDLED
MR. RAFFIO

WAS REALLY
WONDERFUL.

POOR MAN.

THEY JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND.

EVEN THE PATIENTS GET
SUSPICIOUS SOMETIMES.

YOU WONDER
WHY THEY COME,

BUT...

THAT'S THE PLIGHT
OF US HEALERS, MAGGIE.

WE HAVE TO HELP THEM
IN SPITE OF THEMSELVES.

NURSE MAGGIE...

YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE
A GOOD NURSE, I THINK.

OH, I DON'T KNOW.

YOU'RE TOO MODEST.

I CAN TELL YOU'D
RATHER HURT YOURSELF

THAN LET
ANYONE ELSE SUFFER.

YOU'RE WHAT I CALL
A TRUE HEALER.

YOU'RE BETTER TRAINED
THAN MOST OF THE NURSES

WE GET HERE.
DID KEREBY TELL YOU THAT?

NO, SHE DIDN'T.

YEAH. I BET SHE DIDN'T.

YOU KNOW,
I HAVE A THEORY

THAT IF NURSES
ARE TRAINED BETTER,

THEY CAN LOOK AFTER
THEIR PATIENTS BETTER.

I WONDER IF YOU REALIZE
JUST HOW EXCITING

THIS WORK CAN BE.

I KNOW I COULD TEACH YOU
SOMETHING ABOUT MY TECHNIQUES,

IF YOU'D LIKE.

I'D LOVE THAT!

GOOD.

THEN, COME WITH ME.

WELL, THESE DAYS, THERE ARE
SOME WONDERFUL DRUGS.

SOME VERY ELEGANT DRUGS.

BUT PEOPLE HAVE THIS THING
ABOUT THE WORD DRUG.

THEY JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND
THAT THE BODY

IS A BLOODY
PHARMACEUTICAL FACTORY.

ALL WE'RE TRYING TO DO
IS JUST, WELL,

HELP THE BODY WITH
ITS OWN NATURAL PROCESSES.

THIS IS WHERE
IT ALL HAPPENS--

WARD "S."

[BUZZING]

Dr. Heckett: SHH. LISTEN.

WHAT CAN YOU HEAR?

SLEEP. PERFECT PEACE.

NOW, CAN YOU HEAR IT?

[BEEPING]

JUST LOOK AT THEM.

VICTIMS OF
THIS TOUGH WORLD.

THEY CAN'T COPE
WITH THE PRESSURE,

THEY CAN'T COPE
WITH THE MADNESS

WITHIN THEMSELVES.

LOOK AT THEM.

RIGHT HERE,
RIGHT NOW,

THEY DON'T HAVE
A CARE IN THE WORLD...

JUST PEACE.

THE HEALING POWER
OF SLEEP.

Sister Kereby:
NURSE...

DR. HECKETT HAS
ASKED THAT YOU BE

PUT ON THE ROSTER ON
A FULL TIME BASIS.

FULL TIME?

OH, THAT'S GREAT!
THANK YOU, SISTER.

IT WASN'T MY IDEA,
I CAN ASSURE YOU.

YOU START THE NIGHT
SHIFT NEXT WEEK.

THANK YOU, SISTER.

[LAUGHING]

THAT HE THOUGHT
IT WAS A WATER BOTTLE!

OH...

HEY, WHAT HAPPENED
WITH HUGH?

HE, UH, STOLE
MY RENT MONEY.

I-I HAVEN'T HEARD
FROM HIM SINCE.

JESUS, MAGGIE.

WHY DO YOU DO IT
TO YOURSELF?

HE NEEDED HELP.

[SIGHS]

I DON'T KNOW.
IT'S THE PLIGHT

OF US HEALERS,
I GUESS.

WHAT?

THAT'S WHAT
DR. HECKETT SAYS.

OH, YES?

NO, NO.
HE'S MARRIED.

SO?

SO, NOTHING.

IT'S NOT LIKE THAT
AT ALL.

ANYWAY, I START

ON THE NIGHT SHIFT
TOMORROW.

WELL, WE'LL SEE.

[BUZZING]

[CRYING]

IT'S OK, JESSICA.
COME ON.

HERE, HERE YOU GO.

WILL YOU GET
OFF OF ME, PLEASE?

IT'S OK.
GET OFF!

[CRYING]

[BUZZING STOPS]

COME ON.
WE'VE GOT A PROBLEM.

SHE MUST'VE GOT
THE STRAPS LOOSE.

HAPPENS
ALL THE TIME.

COME ON, JESSIE,
YOU'RE ALL RIGHT.

YOU'RE ALL RIGHT.

YOU'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

IT'S OK.

IT'S OK.

IT'S OK, JESS.
YOU'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

I, UH, HAVE TO USE
THE SMALL BORE TUBE

FOR FEEDING, AND
THE LARGE BORE FOR DRAINAGE.

Maggie: IT'S
MR. McCARTHY!

YEAH. THEY JUST PUT HIM
UNDER TODAY.

HERE, I'LL SHOW YOU HOW
YOU INSERT IT UP THE NOSE,

AND...

FEED IT DOWN
THE THROAT.

BUT, UH, BE CAREFUL,
BECAUSE

YOU DON'T WANT TO
PUNCTURE THE LUNG.

POOR MR. McCARTHY.
WHY'D THEY PUT YOU IN HERE?

DR. HECKETT'S
ORDERS.

HOW ARE YOU TWO
GETTING ON?

DEBBIE,
GIVE DR. LARK A HAND

WITH THE, UH,
CELLULAR, PLEASE.

YES, DR. HECKETT.

WELL, NURSE, WHAT DO YOU
THINK OF WARD "S"?

IT'S VERY INTERESTING.

I WAS JUST CURIOUS
ABOUT MR. McCARTHY.

MM-HMM?

WELL, HE SEEMED TO
BE DOING SO WELL,

I THOUGHT HE WAS

ALMOST READY
TO LEAVE.

I'LL TAKE CARE
OF THE DIAGNOSIS, NURSE.

IS THERE ANYONE
AT THE NURSE'S STATION?

NO. I WAS ON MY WAY.

WELL, I'D HEAD BACK THERE
NOW, IF I WERE YOU.

YES. OF COURSE.

[YAWNS]

HOW DO YOU FEEL?

OH, I AM SO TIRED.

HA HA.

I CAN'T QUIT
YAWNING.

DON'T WORRY.
YOU'LL GET USED TO IT.

TAKES ABOUT 2 WEEKS
FOR YOUR BODY CLOCK

TO ADJUST.

OH, MY GOD.

YOU'LL BE FINE.

HECKETT'S ARRIVED.

YOU'RE STILL WORRIED
ABOUT LAST NIGHT?

I SHOULD LEARN
TO KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT.

AW, HE WON'T
EVEN REMEMBER.

OH, GOOD EVENING,
GIRLS.

HOW'S THE FORT?

FRONTS ARE QUIET,
COLONEL.

OH, GOOD, THEN.
DRINKS FOR MY MEN.

WE'LL ATTACK
AT DAWN.

NURSE MAGGIE...

ABOUT TIME WE HAD YOU
DO SOMETHING AROUND HERE.

ROUNDS WITH ME.
10 MINUTES.

Heckett:
DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING

ABOUT ELECTRONIC
SLEEP INDUCEMENT?

NO.

PLUG IT IN OVER
THERE AND SWITCH ON.

I WAS ONE OF THE FIRST
IN AUSTRALIA

TO USE E.S.I.

BACK THEN,
THE MACHINES WERE...

BARBARIC
CONTRAPTIONS.

THEY WOULD JOLT
THE PATIENT

SO VIOLENTLY,
THEY WOULD CAUSE

MULTIPLE BONE
FRACTURES.

I DESIGNED THIS UNIT
MYSELF.

GIVES A GENTLE PULSE
THAT BUILDS.

THERE'S NO SHOCK.

YOU MUST HAVE
THE PATIENT

FIRMLY STRAPPED
DOWN,

SO THEY DON'T
CONVULSE,

AND FALL OFF
THE EDGE OF THE BED,

CRACKING THEIR HEAD
ON THE FLOOR.

THIS IS
THE CONDUCTOR GEL.

JUST A LITTLE
ON EACH TEMPLE.

[WHIRRING]

THIS DIAL HERE
IS FOR AMPLITUDE...

[WHIRRING GROWS LOUDER]

LENGTH OF SHOCK,

AND VOLTAGE.

[BUZZING]

[TURNS OFF SWITCH]

YOU SEE,
THE BRAIN IS JUST

A MESS OF
ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS.

WHEN THOSE CIRCUITS
GET MESSED UP,

IT CAUSES
THE DEPRESSION.

[SIGHS]

[DOOR OPENS]

JESS, HOW'S IT
GOING?

COULD YOU HELP ME, PLEASE?

SURE.

I'M SUCH A MESS.

YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL.

YOU SHOULD SEE ME NORMALLY.

DID YOU KNOW
I'M AN ACTRESS?

WHY ARE YOU IN HERE?

I WAS PERFORMING
AT A PRISON.

ONE OF THE PRISONERS
STABBED ME.

SEE?

[GASPS]

I THINK I NEED
THE BUCKET AGAIN.

[VOMITING]

[GASPS]

[GASPING]

DR. HECKETT SAYS
I CAN SUE THE GOVERNMENT.

[SIGHS]

WELL, HOW COME YOU
WERE IN DEEP SEDATION?

I DON'T KNOW.

HE SAID IT WOULD
MAKE ME FEEL BETTER.

[SIGHS]

GOD, HE'S SUCH
A WONDERFUL MAN.

BEFORE I MET DR. HECKETT,

I WAS A MESS.

[VOMITING]

[GASPING]

DISGUSTING.

[SIGHS HEAVILY]

MY BRAIN FEELS FRIED.

I KEEP BLANKING OUT.

[BREATHES HEAVILY]

WELL, MAYBE
IT'S THE E.S.I.

WHAT'S THAT?

WELL, IT'S A FORM OF
ELECTRIC SHOCK TREATMENT.

DIDN'T YOU KNOW YOU WERE
RECEIVING SHOCK TREATMENT?

[DEAD BOLT CLICKS]

[WHISPERING]
Jessica.

HI, GIRLS.
HI!

ANYTHING EXCITING?

NO, IT'S BEEN QUIET
ALL AFTERNOON.

HECKETT'S NOT
COMING IN TONIGHT.

IT'S NOT SURPRISING.

HE SPENT 2 HOURS

IN MISS MOVIE STAR'S
ROOM LAST NIGHT.

THEN PROBABLY
CALLED IN ON KEREBY

ON THE WAY HOME.

IT'S ALL PART
OF THE SERVICE.

YEAH.

YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING.

YEAH, WELL, JESSICA
CAN'T COMPLAIN.

I MEAN, AT LEAST
SHE'S GETTING SOME,

WHICH IS MORE THAN
I CAN SAY

SINCE I TOOK ON
THIS NIGHT SHIFT.

WELL, IT'S MY TURN TONIGHT.

DON'T WANNA BE LATE.

NIGHT.

BYE.

[BREATHING ROUGHLY]

DEBBIE,
COME SEE THIS.

HIS LUNGS ARE CONGESTED

AND HIS EYES ARE
DISCOLORED YELLOW.

YEAH.
THE BREATHING HAPPENS

'CAUSE THE LUNGS CAN'T
CLEAR THE PHLEGM.

THE EYES--

COULD BE KIDNEY
DYSFUNCTION.

HIS TEMPERATURE'S UP.

I'LL PAGE DR. HECKETT.

WELL?

HE HASN'T
CALLED BACK YET.

WELL, WHAT ABOUT
ANOTHER DOCTOR?

NO. THEY GET
REALLY ANNOYED

WHEN IT'S NOT
THEIR PATIENT.

DEBBIE, THIS IS SERIOUS!

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

DR. HECKETT.

THIS IS DEBBIE.
IT'S MR. McCARTHY.

HE'S SHOWING
DISCOLORATION

OF THE EYES.
HIS LUNGS ARE CLOGGED.

YES, DOCTOR.

YES, DOCTOR.

HE SAID THOSE ARE
NORMAL SYMPTOMS.

HE SAID DON'T WORRY.

MAGGIE...

IT MUST BE
INTERNAL BLEEDING.

HE'S NOT PASSING URINE.

IT IS THE KIDNEYS.
CALL DR. HECKETT AGAIN.

OH, I'LL DO IT.

[SIGHS]

GENTLEMEN,
RAISE ONE WAGER.

THREE.

[JAZZY PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]

WELL--

DR. HECKETT,
IT'S THE CLINIC AGAIN.

TELL THEM
I'LL CALL THEM BACK.

THEY DID SAY IT'S URGENT.

[SIGHS]

HOW MANY
YOU NEED, BROCK?

YES, WHAT IS IT NOW?

DR. HECKETT,
THIS IS MAGGIE.

MR. McCARTHY'S CONDITION
IS DECLINING.

HE'S NOT PASSING URINE,

AND HIS STOMACH
IS DRAINING BROWN FLUID,

INDICATING INTERNAL--

YES, THANK YOU, NURSE.

I KNOW WHAT
THAT INDICATES.

DOCTOR, I THINK
YOU SHOULD COME IN.

OH, THAT'S YOUR
OPINION, IS IT?

ALL RIGHT.

I'LL BE UP THERE
SHORTLY.

[SLAMS PHONE]

[DIAL TONE]

WHAT DID HE SAY?

HE SAID HE'D
BE HERE SHORTLY.

WHO ARE YOU CALLING?

DR. LARK.

MAGGIE, DON'T.

LOOK, I'M
THE SENIOR NURSE HERE.

YOU CAN'T JUST CALL IN
ANOTHER DOCTOR

TO SOMEONE ELSE'S
PATIENT.

MAGGIE!

PUT THE PHONE DOWN!

YOU SAW HIM.

YOU TELL ME
THAT MAN'S NOT DYING,

AND I'LL TELL YOU
YOU'RE CRAZY.

DON'T WORRY.
I'LL TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.

DR. LARK?

HI, THIS IS MAGGIE
DOWN AT THE HOSPITAL.

LISTEN, WE HAVE
AN EMERGENCY HERE.

I DON'T THINK DR. HECKETT

WILL BE ABLE TO
MAKE IT IN TIME.

YES, IT'S MR. McCARTHY.

NO, HIS CONDITION
HAS WORSENED.

[SLOW JAZZ PIANO
MUSIC PLAYING]

[MEN CHATTERING QUIETLY]

WHY DON'T YOU
GO HOME, MAGGIE?

DEBBIE CAN MAKE OUT
THE REPORT.

WHY DIDN'T HE COME?

OF COURSE HE CAME.
HE WAS JUST TOO LATE.

IT TOOK HIM
NEARLY 2 HOURS.

HE KNEW IT WAS
AN EMERGENCY.

MR. McCARTHY
WAS DOING BETTER.

SURELY HE DIDN'T
NEED DEEP SEDATION.

HE DIDN'T NEED
ELECTRIC SHOCK.

NURSE HEALEY, PULL
YOURSELF TOGETHER.

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT
THIS IS A HOSPITAL.

YOU KNOW, YOU'LL BECOME

A WALKING BUNDLE
OF NERVES

IF YOU LET THINGS
LIKE THIS AFFECT YOU.

MAGGIE?

WHAT'S WRONG?

IS IT HUGH AGAIN?

NO, IT'S NOT HUGH.

I QUIT MY JOB.

YOU QUIT?

WHY?

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
YOU NEED THAT JOB!

YOU WERE NEARLY
OUT OF DEBT!

I'LL GET ANOTHER ONE.

DID YOU GIVE THEM
NOTICE?

I TOLD THEM
MY MOM WAS SICK.

OH, GREAT.

WELL, YOU DON'T GET MANY
POINTS FOR ORIGINALITY.

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT.
THENA FUERY.

I DON'T SEE YOUR NAME.

OF COURSE YOU DON'T
SEE MY NAME.

YOU PROBABLY DIDN'T WRITE
IT DOWN WHEN I CALLED.

I DIDN'T WRITE IT DOWN
BECAUSE IT WASN'T ME.

DO YOU WANT TO MAKE
AN APPOINTMENT?

NO. I'LL WAIT.

YOU CAN WAIT TILL CHRISTMAS
FOR ALL I CARE.

LISTEN HERE,
YOU SMUG LITTLE BITCH.

EITHER YOU GET ME
AN APPOINTMENT TODAY,

OR I'LL GIVE YOU TROUBLE
LIKE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN.

I'M CALLING SECURITY.

LOOK THROUGH YOUR LITTLE
LIST AGAIN, SWEETIE PIE.

ALL RIGHT THEN.
I'LL GET HELP.

THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME

YOU'VE CONVENIENTLY
LOST MY APPOINTMENT.

[IN DISTANCE]
WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO

TO GET SOME ACTION
AROUND HERE?

I'M SICK
OF BEING IGNORED!

DON'T YOU KNOW HOW
IMPORTANT THIS IS?

PEOPLE ARE DYING EVERY
DAY BECAUSE OF THIS.

YEAH, I WAS THINKING
OF GETTING

SOME NEW RODS FOR THE VAN.

OH, NO, NO.
THE OLD ONES ARE FINE.

I JUST THOUGHT--

CAN I HELP YOU?

I'M YOUR 12:00
APPOINTMENT.

LOOK, I'LL HAVE TO GET
BACK TO YOU LATER, OK?

YEAH. YEAH.

I DON'T REMEMBER HAVING
A 12:00 APPOINT--

HAVE YOU ALREADY
FILED A COMPLAINT?

YES, OVER A WEEK AGO.

I'LL HAVE TO CHECK
WITH MY SECRETARY.

EXCUSE ME.

I DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME.

I PROMISE, IT'LL
JUST TAKE 5 MINUTES.

WELL, I DON'T KNOW.
I'VE GOT TO GET YOUR FILE.

PLEASE?

WELL, IF IT'S BEEN A WEEK,
IT SHOULD STILL BE HERE.

WHAT WAS YOUR NAME?

MAGGIE. MAGGIE HEALEY.

HERE IT IS. HEALEY.

THE MEMO SAYS
"INCOMPLETE. CHECK MISSING."

YOU FORGOT THE $10
FOR PROCESSING.

DO YOU MEAN YOU HAVEN'T
EVEN READ MY LETTER YET?

OH, WE GET DOZENS
OF COMPLAINTS A WEEK

FROM DISGRUNTLED PATIENTS.

YOU'RE A NURSE.
YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND

THAT THERE'S ALWAYS
A PERCENTAGE OF FAILURES

WITH CRITICAL PATIENTS.

BUT THIS PATIENT
WASN'T CRITICAL.

I CAN'T DISCUSS THIS
WITHOUT THE PROPER PAPERWORK.

WRITE A CHECK FOR $10,

AND I'LL SEE
YOUR COMPLAINTS ARE PROCESSED.

YOU WORK AT ELYSIAN FIELDS,
DON'T YOU?

NOT ANYMORE.

OH! WHAT HAPPENED?

HECKETT MURDER
ANOTHER PATIENT?

HE DIDN'T MURDER ANYONE.

OH, YEAH? WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE, THEN?

[SIGHS DISGUSTEDLY]

YOU KNOW, THIS COMPLAINT BUREAU
IS A BIT OF A JOKE!

THEY'LL SEND OUT AN INSPECTOR,

BUT ALL THE INSPECTOR DOES
IS DISMISS THE COMPLAINT!

WE'LL SEE.

[SIGHS]

Maggie: I HAVE ALREADY BEEN
TO THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT!

I WANT TO SEE THE MINISTER!

I ALREADY SENT A LETTER!

UGH. BITCH.

SHE HUNG UP.

THEY'RE NOT GOING
TO LISTEN TO YOU.

WHY NOT?

'CAUSE IT SOUNDS CRAZY.

WHAT, YOU THINK
I'M MAKING IT UP?

I THINK YOU SHOULD
GET ON WITH YOUR LIFE.

YOU HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED
TO LOOK FOR A JOB YET.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

HELLO?

Hugh:
HI. GUESS WHO?

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

HEH. YOU DON'T SOUND
VERY FRIENDLY.

GOOD OBSERVATION.

WHERE'S MY MONEY
YOU STOLE?

UH...

I'M REALLY SORRY, MAGGIE.

THAT WAS MY RENT MONEY.

HEH. YOU'LL HAVE THAT MONEY
BY THE END OF THE WEEK.

BUT I NEED A PLACE TO STAY.

OH, SURE, WHY NOT?

LOOK, MAGGIE,
I'M NOT FOOLING AROUND.

I'VE, UM--I'VE BEEN
BUSTED FOR POSSESSION.

THEY SAY IF I GO
TO THIS REHAB PLACE,

THEN THEY WON'T
SEND ME TO JAIL.

SO I NEED A PLACE TO STAY.

NO.

JUST FOR
A COUPLE OF NIGHTS.

WHY DON'T YOU STAY
WITH YOUR PARENTS?

STEAL FROM THEM.

THEY CAN AFFORD IT.

I CAN'T DO THAT,
AND I WON'T DO IT.

MAGGIE, I NEED YOU.

LOOK, I'LL BRING
THE MONEY WITH ME.

NO.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

I--

I GUESS I'VE BURNED
ALL MY BRIDGES THEN, HUH?

YOU BET.
THEY'RE IN ASHES.

THE NERVE.

DO YOU THINK THEY'D
BE MORE LENIENT

IF THE BOY COMES HERE
FOR TREATMENT?

OH, CERTAINLY.

IF I SAY HE'S BEEN
THROUGH THE TREATMENT

AND IS FULLY
REHABILITATED,

HE'LL PROBABLY
JUST GET PROBATION.

I'VE HANDLED MANY
CASES LIKE THIS.

AN INITIAL PAYMENT
OF $1,500, I BELIEVE.

SOUNDS TOO GOOD
TO BE TRUE.

WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOU
ACCUSING DR. HECKETT OF?

DR. SHAMBERG,
DON'T YOU CARE

THAT ONE OF
YOUR COLLEAGUES

MAY BE MISTREATING
HIS PATIENTS?

OF COURSE I CARE.

I'M PRESIDENT
OF THE A.P.A.

THESE SORT OF ACCUSATIONS
CAN DO ENORMOUS DAMAGE

TO THE ENTIRE
PSYCHIATRIC PROFESSION.

I WAS ACTUALLY TALKING
ABOUT THE PATIENTS.

MY DEAR YOUNG LADY...

I HAVE BEEN TREATING
PATIENTS FOR 30 YEARS,

AND I AM THINKING
OF ALL PATIENTS.

BUT I HAVE NO INTENTION
OF TRIGGERING

A PSYCHIATRIC WITCH HUNT.

IT IS MY OPINION

THAT HIS DEEP SEDATION
AND E.S.I. THERAPY

IS OUTDATED.

MY ADVICE TO YOU
IS TO FORGET ABOUT IT.

IT'LL DIE OUT
OF ITS OWN ACCORD.

AND WHAT HAPPENS
IN THE MEANTIME?

PATIENTS JUST
KEEP DYING?

JESSICA?

I HARDLY RECOGNIZED YOU!

YOU LOOK TERRIFIC!

I'M SORRY,
I'VE FORGOTTEN YOUR NAME.

MAGGIE.

I WAS A NURSE
AT ELYSIAN FIELDS.

OH, I REMEMBER.

GOD, I TRY TO
FORGET THAT PLACE.

HOW LONG WERE YOU
THERE FOR?

OH, NOT LONG.

THE MONEY FOR MY LAWSUIT
CAME THROUGH...

ALTHOUGH HALF WENT TO
PAYING THE HOSPITAL BILL.

YOU LOOK INCREDIBLE.

THANK YOU.

I'M WORKING AGAIN.

I'M UP FOR A PART
IN A SERIES.

THAT'S TERRIFIC!

IT'S REALLY GOOD
TO SEE YOU.

I WAS WORRIED ABOUT YOU
AFTER I LEFT THE HOSPITAL.

OH, YEAH, WELL THAT'S
ALL IN THE PAST.

LOOK, I'M REALLY LATE
FOR AN APPOINTMENT.

IT WAS NICE SEEING YOU.

[DING DONG]
[KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK]

HOLD IT.
COMING.

AHEM.

YOU LOOK LIKE HELL.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

NOT SLEEPING
TOO WELL, HUH?

HOW DID YOU FIND OUT
WHERE I LIVE?

I'VE GOT MY CONTACTS.

LOOK, I WANTED
TO FIND OUT

IF ANYTHING HAPPENED
WITH YOUR COMPLAINT.

I HAVE NO IDEA.

I'M SURE THEY'RE
LOOKING INTO IT.

SO?

SO NOTHING.

I'M GETTING ON WITH MY LIFE.

IT'S NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY.

HUH.

I GUESS IT ISN'T.

WHY AM I EVEN TALKING TO YOU?

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT
TO INVADE MY PRIVACY.

LOOK, I'M SORRY
IF I'M BOTHERING YOU,

BUT...

MAGGIE, LOOK.

I KNOW YOU LEFT
ELYSIAN FIELDS,

AND I THINK I KNOW WHY.

I HAVE BEEN TO THE HEALTH
DEPARTMENT 5 TIMES.

I HAVE TALKED TO
A DOZEN PSYCHIATRISTS.

THEY ALL KNOW ABOUT IT.

OF COURSE THEY KNOW!

THEY'RE NO DIFFERENT
FROM YOU!

THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT
WILL STOP IT.

THEY HAVE TO.

HEH.

YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT.

I DO. IT'S THEIR JOB.

MAGGIE, YOU CAN
REALLY HELP ME.

I CAN ONLY EXPOSE HIM
WITH INSIDE HELP.

LOOK, I NEED INFORMATION
FROM THE PATIENTS' FILES.

ANYTHING.

YOU COULD
GET THAT FOR ME.

I'M NOT GOING BACK THERE.

WELL, FUCK YOU, THEN!

FORGET THE WHOLE THING
EVER EXISTED,

JUST LIKE
EVERYBODY ELSE DOES.

YOU KNOW, FOR SOMEBODY
WITHOUT ANY CREDENTIALS,

YOU'RE PRETTY OBNOXIOUS!

OH, YEAH?

NOT LIKE YOUR
DR. HECKETT!

HE'S SO CHARMING.

A MAN WITH SO MANY
IMPRESSIVE LETTERS

AFTER HIS NAME!

[BANG]

[MAIL SLOT OPENING]

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

[RING RING]

HELLO?

WHEN HE CAME HOME,

HE WAS
A DIFFERENT PERSON.

HIS WHOLE PERSONALITY
HAS CHANGED.

OF COURSE, WE KNOW HE
LIKED YOU VERY MUCH.

Woman: YOU WERE A GOOD
INFLUENCE ON HIM.

WE THOUGHT THAT MAYBE
YOU'D TRY TO TALK TO HIM.

HE'S TRIED
TO KILL HIMSELF.

TWICE.

IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.

DARLING...

YOU DON'T SWALLOW

A WHOLE BOTTLE
OF SEDATIVES TWICE

BY ACCIDENT.

WHAT KIND OF TREATMENT
DID HE RECEIVE?

THIS THING CALLED
DEEP SEDATION.

I DON'T REALLY
UNDERSTAND

WHAT IT'S ABOUT, BUT--

WAS HE IN ELYSIAN FIELDS?

YOU KNOW THE HOSPITAL?

WHERE IS HE?

HUGH.

HUGH,
LOOK WHO'S HERE.

IT'S MAGGIE.

HE JUST SITS
LIKE THAT ALL DAY,

STARING INTO SPACE.

HIS ONLY OTHER INTEREST
IS TO SIT IN HIS BOAT,

PRETENDING TO FISH.

COME ON, DARLING.

WE'LL BE DOWNSTAIRS.

THEY'RE LOVELY.

HUGH, THESE ARE
ALL WONDERFUL.

OH, HUGH, YOU MUST
LET ME TAKE THEM HOME

AND SHOW THEM TO KAYE.

DO YOU WANT TO DO
ANOTHER ONE NOW?

IT'S A LOVELY DAY.

YOU COULD SKETCH ME NOW.

HERE.

[WHISPERING]
Here.

AW, HUGH.

[SIGHS]

YOU USED TO LOVE TO SKETCH ME
WHENEVER YOU HAD A CHANCE.

DON'T YOU REMEMBER?

MAGGIE...

SIT ON THE BOAT.

MAGGIE, HOLD THAT POSE
JUST A LITTLE LONGER!

MAGGIE?

YES, HUGH.
IT'S MAGGIE.

MAGGIE...

PLEASE.

PLEASE TAKE ME
OUT OF HERE.

THEY WANNA
SEND ME BACK.

NO ONE'S GONNA SEND YOU
BACK THERE, I PROMISE.

YOUR MOTHER AND FATHER
LOVE YOU VERY MUCH.

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

I DO UNDERSTAND.

MAYBE NOW MORE THAN EVER.

HUGH'S CONDITION
IS VERY SERIOUS.

WELL,
DR. HECKETT SAID

THAT IF
HE DIDN'T IMPROVE

HE MIGHT HAVE TO
HAVE ANOTHER COURSE

OF DEEP SEDATION
TREATMENT.

MR. CLAYTON!

YOU CAN'T TAKE HUGH
BACK TO THAT PLACE.

I THINK YOU SHOULD
CONSIDER PRESSING CHARGES

AGAINST DR. HECKETT.

WHAT?

YOU SHOULD FIND OUT EXACTLY
WHAT WAS DONE TO HUGH.

I THINK YOU'LL FIND GROUNDS
FOR A MALPRACTICE SUIT.

THAT'S OUT
OF THE QUESTION!

WELL, I MEAN, AS
A HIGH COURT JUDGE,

IF IT EVER GOT
INTO THE PAPERS

THAT MY SON WAS IN A
PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL

UNDERGOING TREATMENT
FOR DRUG ADDICTION--

BUT MR. CLAYTON,
WHAT ABOUT HUGH?

PRESSING CHARGES ISN'T
GOING TO HELP MY SON.

ALL THAT WILL DO

IS DRAG MY FAMILY
THROUGH THE DIRT.

WELL, HE'S SAFE NOW.

HE'S AT HOME WITH US.

WELL, HOW ABOUT
THE McCARTHY CASE?

MMM...

DEATH CERTIFICATE STATED
DEATH BY NATURAL CAUSES.

SIGNED BY DR. HECKETT.

WELL, WHAT DID
THE CORONER'S INQUEST SAY?

OH, THERE WAS
NO INQUEST.

DO YOU MEAN TO TELL ME
THERE WAS NO INVESTIGATION

OR INQUEST DONE AT ALL?

MR. McCARTHY WAS AN OLD
MAN WITH A BAD HEART.

LOOK, DO YOU HAVE A
SINGLE RELATABLE SPOUSE

WILLING TO
PRESS CHARGES?

DO YOU HAVE A SINGLE
SOLID SHRED OF EVIDENCE?

HOSPITAL CHARTS?

PRESCRIPTION SHEETS?
ANYTHING?

NO, I DON'T.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

[RING RING]

[RING RING]

[RING RING]

852-3637?

HELLO, MRS. CLAYTON,
IT'S MAGGIE.

OH, HELLO, MAGGIE.

I'M JUST CHECKING IN.
HOW'S HUGH?

WELL, I CAN'T SEE
ANY IMPROVEMENT.

IN FACT, I THINK HE MAY
BE GETTING WORSE.

WOULD YOU MIND IF
I CAME TO SEE HIM AGAIN?

HE SEEMED TO PICK UP
WHEN HE RECOGNIZED ME.

NO, PLEASE, MAGGIE.
COME OVER ANY TIME.

I'M SURE IN TIME
HE'LL BE BETTER.

WHAT'S HE DOING NOW?

HE'S JUST SITTING
PEACEFULLY IN HIS BOAT.

Minister: WE THEREFORE
COMMIT HIS BODY TO THE GROUND.

EARTH TO EARTH,

ASHES TO ASHES,

DUST TO DUST.

THOU KNOWEST, LORD,
THE SECRETS OF OUR HOUSE.

SHUT NOT THY MERCIFUL EARS
TO OUR PRAYER,

AND SPARE US,
LORD MOST HOLY.

Maggie:
I'M VERY SORRY.

THANK YOU.

LOOK, YOU'VE GOTTA
TALK TO THE MINISTER.

HIS SECRETARY
IS USELESS.

THAT'S WHAT
SHE'S THERE FOR,

TO KEEP YOU AWAY
FROM THE MINISTER.

HEH.

I'LL CALL YOU BACK.

WE'VE MANAGED TO COUNT
MORE THAN 49 DEATHS SO FAR.

29 OF THOSE PEOPLE DIED

WHILE UNDERGOING DEEP
SEDATION THERAPY.

ANOTHER 20
COMMITTED SUICIDE

FOLLOWING RELEASE
FROM THE HOSPITAL.

THE FIRST CASE WAS
REPORTED IN 1973.

THAT'S NEARLY 20 YEARS.

HEH. YEP.

HOW MANY DOCTORS AND NURSES
HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS?

MAGGIE, TAKE THESE FILES
HOME AND READ THEM

AND LET ME KNOW
WHAT YOU THINK.

Woman's voice: "I WENT TO SEE
DR. HECKETT AGAIN,

"AND HE TOLD ME IT WAS
A PERFECTLY NORMAL SIDE EFFECT

THAT WOULD DISAPPEAR
AFTER A FEW MONTHS."

"IT'S NOW BEEN 3 YEARS,
AND I STILL GET THEM."

Man's voice:
"DR. HECKETT SAID

"THE BEST WAY TO DRY OUT
AND STOP DRINKING

"WAS TO UNDERGO
THE E.S.I. TREATMENT.

"I TRIED EVERYTHING ELSE,
BUT IT HAD FAILED.

"THIS FAILED, TOO.

"BUT I AM NOW PARTLY DEAF,

AND PUS KEEPS
OOZING OUT OF MY EARS."

Second woman's voice:
"MY SISTER JULIE

"WENT TO ELYSIAN FIELDS
AFTER HER DIVORCE.

"HEH. THANKS TO THAT
MURDERER HECKETT,

SHE COMMITTED SUICIDE."

Third woman's voice: "HECKETT
TOLD ME HE COULD STOP THE PAIN

"IF I HAD E.S.I.

"NOW I'M CONFINED
TO A WHEELCHAIR

FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE."

Fourth woman's voice: "ALTHOUGH
I CAN'T PROVE ANYTHING,

I KNOW HECKETT
KILLED MY FATHER."

I HATE DR. HECKETT.

[ECHOING]
DR. HECKETT--

KILLED HIS OWN--

KILLED--

[VOICES ECHOING TOGETHER]

THEY ALL WENT TO
THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT.

THE POLICE
ARE THE SHRINKS.

YOU KNOW
WHAT THAT'S LIKE.

IT'S WORSE IF YOU'RE
AN EX-PATIENT.

A PATIENT WITH
A PSYCHIATRIC HISTORY

HAS NO RIGHTS. HA.

SAME, SAME IF YOU'RE
A RELATIVE.

THEY THINK YOU'RE JUST
VENTING YOUR GRIEF

ON THE POOR DOCTOR. HA!

I NEED A LOT MORE
DOCUMENTED EVIDENCE.

WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP?

I'M NOT SURE YET.

[THINKING]
THENA, I'LL GET YOUR FILES.

I'M GOING BACK.

I WAS SORRY TO HEAR
ABOUT YOUR MOTHER.

SHE'S MUCH BETTER NOW,
THANK YOU.

WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM?

SOME SORT
OF HEART CONDITION?

NO, IT WAS JUST
A FALSE ALARM.

PROBLEM WAS, SHE WOULDN'T
SEE A DOCTOR.

YOU KNOW HOW IT IS.

YEAH.

ONE OF THOSE, EH?

I MUST TELL YOU
THAT SISTER KEREBY WAS

ABSOLUTELY AGAINST
ME SEEING YOU.

WELL, I CAN'T BLAME HER.

I MEAN, I LEFT
RATHER ABRUPTLY.

I'M SURE IT PUT A SERIOUS
STRAIN ON THE ROSTER.

WELL, GOOD NURSES ARE
HARD TO FIND, MAGGIE.

ESPECIALLY FOR THIS
SORT OF WORK.

I'M SURE I CAN
BRING HER AROUND.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

THE GIRL JUST SUDDENLY
UPS AND LEAVES THE CLINIC,

WITHOUT ANY NOTICE!

COME ON, ROSEMARY.
IT WAS AN EMERGENCY.

AND SHE'S GOOD.

WE DON'T GET NURSES
WITH HER QUALIFICATIONS

TOO OFTEN.
YOU KNOW THAT.

WELL, I HOPE THAT'S
THE ONLY REASON

FOR THIS SUDDEN BURST
OF ENTHUSIASM!

I DON'T PLAY
WITH CHILDREN.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME
THIS ONE'S BEEN UNDER.

MM-HMM.
DO ANY GOOD?

NOT A DINT.

SHOULD I INCREASE
THE E.S.I.?

I ALWAYS FOLLOW THE
THERAPEUTIC POSTULATE

TO HAVE A GO.

[BUZZER]

[BUZZER]

WILL THERE BE
ANY MORE

FOR E.S.I. TONIGHT,
DOCTOR?

THAT'LL BE ALL TONIGHT,
DEAR. THANK YOU.

MAGGIE, DIDN'T YOU
USED TO WORK HERE?

MM-HMM.

I'VE ONLY BEEN HERE
A FEW WEEKS MYSELF.

THEY HAVE A PRETTY HIGH
TURNOVER, DON'T THEY?

I GUESS IT'S BECAUSE
YOU GET SICK

OF TAKING CARE
OF THE ZOMBIES.

WELL, THAT'S WHAT
THE OTHER NURSES CALL 'EM.

MY BOYFRIEND'S
A MEDICAL STUDENT.

HE SAYS IT'S
PRETTY WEIRD.

IT'S TIME
FOR ROOM 2's SEDATION.

WE SEEM TO BE LOW
ON SODIUM AMYTAL.

WOULD YOU GO
TO THE SUPPLY ROOM

AND GET SOME?
OH, GOD.

WOULD YOU DO IT
FOR ME, MAGGIE?

PLEASE?

I HATE MAKING UP
THE DRUGS.

ALL RIGHT, I'LL MAKE UP
THE INJECTION,

BUT YOU HAVE TO GIVE IT.

OK, IT'S A DEAL.

HERE YOU GO.
THANK YOU.

JESSICA...

THIS IS GREAT.

I STILL HAVEN'T FOUND
THE FILES WE NEED.

YOU DON'T KNOW
WHICH CASE

MIGHT END UP
BEING USEFUL.

ARE YOU OK?

I'M JUST TIRED.

BE CAREFUL, MAGGIE.

DON'T DO ANYTHING THAT
MIGHT DRAW ATTENTION

TO YOURSELF.

[ALARM SOUNDING]

WHAT THE HELL'S G--SISTER!

WHAT THE BLOODY HELL'S
GOING ON HERE?!

I HAVE NO IDEA, DOCTOR.

I CERTAINLY
INTEND TO FIND OUT.

NURSE, WHOSE
RESPONSIBILITY WAS IT

TO MAINTAIN
SEDATION LEVELS?

MINE, SISTER.

DID YOU GIVE THE MEDICATION
AS DR. HECKETT PRESCRIBED?

DR. HECKETT
LEFT THAT UP TO US.

THANK YOU, NURSE, BUT SHE
CAN ANSWER FOR HERSELF.

DID YOU GIVE THE SEDATION
PATIENTS THEIR MEDICATION?

YES, SISTER.

THEN HOW DO YOU
EXPLAIN THIS?

I DON'T
UNDERSTAND--

DID YOU OR DID YOU NOT
MAKE UP THE MEDICATIONS?

IT WAS YOUR BLOODY JOB,
WASN'T IT?!

YES, SIR.

DON'T BOTHER LOOKING
AT THE LABEL, NURSE.

IT'S SALINE.

OH, WHAT--
BLOODY SALINE!

HOW IN THE HELL DID IT
GET IN THAT BOTTLE?

DOES ANYONE KNOW
HOW IT GOT IN THERE?!

CHRIST.

SISTER...

TAKE NURSE HEALEY
AND CHECK ALL THE STOCK

OF SODIUM AMYTAL.

IF I EVER FIND
ANY PATIENT IN WARD S

NOT BEING KEPT IN THE
DEEPEST POSSIBLE COMA,

THERE WILL BE
BLOODY HELL TO PAY!

NOW, GET OUT
AND GET BACK TO WORK!

YOU GET BACK TO WARD S!

BASTARD!

IS THIS ALL
THE OLD STOCK?

YES.

ARE YOU SURE?
YES, SISTER.

ALL RIGHT, WELL, I BETTER
GO AND ORDER SOME MORE.

CLEAN UP, NURSE.

WHY'D YOU DO IT?

WHAT?

DON'T PRETEND TO ME.

YOU'VE BEEN PUTTING SALINE
IN THOSE NEEDLES.

I'VE SEEN YOU DOING
OTHER STUFF, TOO.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU MEAN.

STICKING FILES
IN YOUR BAG.

MAGGIE, WHAT DO YOU
THINK YOU'RE DOING?

I'M GATHERING EVIDENCE.

EVIDENCE?

EVIDENCE FOR WHAT?

I DON'T BELIEVE THIS.

YOU'VE BEEN SPYING ON US.

OH, NOT YOU.

JUST DR. HECKETT.

YEAH, BUT THEY'LL
BLAME US.

THEY NEVER BLAME
THE DOCTORS.

THEY WON'T BLAME YOU.

MAGGIE, I CAN'T AFFORD
TO LOSE THIS JOB.

YOU DON'T HAVE
TO DO ANYTHING.

JUST PRETEND
YOU DON'T KNOW.

[FOOTSTEPS]

Dr. Heckett:
GOOD NIGHT, GIRLS.

[WOMAN CRYING]

JESSICA, WHAT'S WRONG?

WHY ARE YOU UP SO LATE?

YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE
COME BACK HERE.

COME ON, LET'S GET
BACK INTO BED.

I COULDN'T COPE
ON THE SET.

TOO MUCH PRESSURE.

I CAN'T REMEMBER
MY LINES ANYMORE.

IT'S OBVIOUSLY
NOT WORKED, HAS IT?

JESSICA, WHY DID YOU
COME BACK HERE?

WHY NOT TRY
ANOTHER CLINIC?

WELL, HE SAID
I SHOULD COME BACK.

IT'S NOT WORKING,
IS IT?

NO, I DON'T THINK IT IS.

BUT WHY DON'T YOU
GET A SECOND OPINION?

I COULDN'T.
HE'D KILL ME.

DON'T BE SILLY.

HE CAN'T
MAKE YOU STAY HERE

IF YOU DON'T WANT TO.

YOU DON'T KNOW JON.

JESSICA, YOU CAN DO IT.

JUST TELL HIM YOU
WANT TO GO HOME.

YOU'RE NOT COMMITTED.

MAGGIE, I'M SO SCARED.

GOOD MORNING.
MORNING.

...ON AND OFF
FOR A YEAR.

MAGGIE.

JESSICA...

HOW?

LOOKS LIKE AN OVERDOSE
OF BARBITURATES.

I DON'T KNOW
HOW SHE GOT THEM.

[SIGHS]

OFFICER,
THIS IS NURSE HEALEY.

SHE WAS ONE OF THE NURSES
ON DUTY LAST NIGHT.

DID MISS SHARP
SAY ANYTHING

THAT MIGHT HAVE
LED YOU TO BELIEVE

SHE'D COMMIT
SUICIDE?

NOT TO ME.

HOW ABOUT YOU, MISS?
NO.

BUT DR. HECKETT,

YOU NORMALLY ADMINISTER
THE BARBITURATES

TO THE PRIVATE PATIENTS.

HOW DARE YOU SPEAK
TO HIM LIKE THAT.

IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE STAFF.
IN FRONT OF THE--

POLICE.

WHOSE SIDE
ARE YOU ON, ANYWAY?

THE PATIENT'S SIDE.

THEN WHAT THE HELL'S
THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?

IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.

IT WASN'T AN ACCIDENT.

JESSICA TOLD ME
HE'D KILL HER

IF SHE TRIED TO LEAVE.

WHAT?

YOU'RE TELLING ME HE GAVE
HER THOSE DRUGS ON PURPOSE?

YES.

YOU'D TAKE THE WORD OF--

YOU'D TAKE THE WORD OF
A PARANOID DEPRESSED WOMAN

OVER JON HECKETT'S?

HARRY, HE'S A SICK MAN.

LOOK, I KNOW HOW YOU
FEEL ABOUT HIM,

BUT YOU CAN'T
PROTECT HIM.

Dr. Heckett: DAMN, HARRY,
I THINK I MADE A MISTAKE.

Harry: A MISTAKE?

YES, WITH JESSICA SHARP.

I THOUGHT I COULD--

I THOUGHT I COULD
BACK OFF.

I THOUGHT I COULD
CUT BACK ON HER SEDATION.

BUT I WAS WRONG.

WE HAVE TO INCREASE
THE LEVELS OF SODIUM AMYTAL.

DEEPEN THE COMA,

KEEP THEM UNDER
FOR LONGER PERIODS,

NOT JUST 2 WEEKS,

BUT 3 WEEKS.

EVEN 4.

I THOUGHT IT ALL THROUGH.

THEY JUST WEREN'T
GETTING ENOUGH SLEEP.

I THINK DR. LARK
IS COMING AROUND.

I MEAN, HE'S GOT TO.

HECKETT IS GETTING
WORSE EVERY DAY.

WILL HE TESTIFY?

I DON'T KNOW.

DO YOU TRUST HIM?

YEAH. YEAH, I DO.

WELL, LOOK, WHETHER
HE COMES AROUND OR NOT,

WE STILL NEED
THE FILES OF PATIENTS

WHO'VE ACTUALLY DIED.

HAVE YOU SEEN ANY
SPECIAL FILING CABINET

OR NOTEBOOKS THAT HE MAY
KEEP LOCKED AWAY SOMEWHERE?

I--I COULDN'T.

HOW MANY NIGHTS
HAS IT BEEN

SINCE YOU'VE SEEN
YOUR BOYFRIEND?

5.

LOOK HOW BUSY WE ARE.

GO ON. DR. HECKETT'S
GONE HOME.

I SUPPOSE I COULD COME
BACK BEFORE THE CHANGE.

YOU'RE NOT GONNA
DO ANYTHING--

I'M NOT GONNA
DO ANYTHING.

GO ON,
GET OUT OF HERE.

DO YOU HAVE A KEY
TO DR. HECKETT'S OFFICE?

I NEED TO GET
A FILE OUT.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING
WITH MY BOOKS?

UM, I WANTED
SOME INFORMATION.

YES?

I WAS LOOKING
FOR A NURSE'S REPORT.

MR. ROLLINS'S SYMPTOMS
REMINDED ME

OF ANOTHER PATIENT'S.

I COULDN'T
FIND THE FILE.

THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU
JUST ASK ME FOR THEM?

YES, I SHOULD'VE.
I'M SORRY.

I'M WORRIED
ABOUT YOU, MAGGIE.

THE STRESS OF THE JOB

SEEMS TO BE GETTING
TOO MUCH FOR YOU.

ARE THERE SOME PERSONAL
PROBLEMS GOING ON

THAT I DON'T KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT?

NO.

PERHAPS YOU COULD
BENEFIT FROM SOME

SLEEP THERAPY YOURSELF.

NO, I'M FINE,
THANK YOU.

I SHOULD GET BACK
TO THE PATIENTS.

ARE YOU GOING SOMEWHERE?

I JUST NEED TO GET

MY NOTEBOOK
FROM THE CAR.

THIS IS MUCH
MORE IMPORTANT, MAGGIE.

YOU'VE OBVIOUSLY BEEN WORKING
UNDER ENORMOUS STRESS.

COULD I JUST
HAVE THE KEYS?

I ONLY WANT TO HELP,
MAGGIE.

PARANOID DELUSIONS
CAN HAPPEN TO THE BEST OF US.

I JUST WANT TO HELP.

MAYBE JUST A LITTLE BOP
ON THE HEAD--

YOU'LL WAKE UP
A NEW PERSON, MAGGIE!

MAGGIE.

JUST STAY AWAY FROM ME!

MAGGIE,
THESE FEARS OF YOURS

ARE JUST GHOSTS
THAT WILL HAUNT YOU

UNLESS YOU LET ME
PURGE THEM.

THEY'RE A BY-PRODUCT
OF STRESS, ANXIETY.

DON'T YOU SEE
HOW MALLEABLE

THE MIND IS?

YOU CAN READ
ABOUT SOME

OF MY EXPERIMENTS
IF YOU LIKE.

IN THOSE BOOKS YOU
WERE SNOOPING IN!

BUT IF THE ANTERIOR PART
OF THE BRAIN

ISN'T FUNCTIONING PROPERLY,

YOU GET DEPRESSED,

START HAVING FANTASIES,

JUSTIFYING THESE FEELINGS.

I CAN HELP YOU
WITH THAT, MAGGIE.

[SCREAMS]

NOW, NURSE, YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T
LOCK THESE DOORS WITHOUT KEYS.

NOW, A GOOD PSYCHIATRIST

HAS TO REALLY UNDERSTAND
HIS PATIENT

IF HE'S GOING TO BE
OF ANY HELP.

I UNDERSTAND YOU

BETTER THAN YOU THINK.

I'VE SEEN HOW YOU REACT
WHEN I GIVE PATIENTS E.S.I.

YOU FEEL FOR THEM ALL
SO DEEPLY.

IT WAS AS IF--AS IF
THEIR PAIN WAS YOURS.

ISN'T THAT TRUE?

JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!

YOU SEE HOW ALIKE
WE ARE, YOU AND I?

IF ONLY YOU'D
JUST TRUST ME.

WHAT ARE YOU
TRYING TO SAVE

THESE PATIENTS FROM?

FROM ME?

THEY CAME TO ME
FOR HELP.

ME!

BUT THEY NEVER ASKED YOU
TO GIVE THEM E.S.I.!

COME ON.

PEOPLE ARE
LIKE SHEEP.

THEY DON'T WANT TO
TAKE RESPONSIBILITY

FOR THEIR BODIES
OR THEIR MINDS.

HELP ME, DOCTOR.
HELP ME.

SAVE ME.
TAKE THE PAIN AWAY.

DO SOMETHING!

BUT JUST
DO SOMETHING!

BUT 51 HAVE DIED!

51?

WHO GAVE YOU
THOSE FIGURES?

THOSE C.A.P.A.
PEOPLE, I SUPPOSE?

WELL, 51.
MAYBE MORE!

BUT HOW MANY
PATIENTS

DO YOU THINK
I'VE TREATED?

THIS IS A HIGH RISK
PROCEDURE.

MAGGIE, YOU MUST
UNDERSTAND

THAT WITHOUT ME

THESE PEOPLE
WOULD BE

AT THE BOTTOM
OF THE BARREL.

SHOOTING THEM
WOULD BE

THEIR ONLY
OTHER OPTION.

FORCES OF MADNESS
ARE ALL AROUND.

YOU THINK THAT'S
ARROGANT, DO YOU?

THEN WHAT THE HELL
ARE YOU DOING HERE?

WHO ASKED YOU TO
SAVE THEM, MAGGIE?

DID ANYONE ASK YOU
TO SAVE THEM?

OH, NO. YOU TOOK IT
UPON YOURSELF

TO SAVE THEM
FOR THEIR OWN GOOD.

YOU SEE, MAGGIE.

YOU AND I AREN'T
THAT DIFFERENT.

WE BOTH WANT TO BE

ON THE RIGHT END
OF THE STETHOSCOPE.

[MACHINE BUZZES]

[PANTING]

[SCREAMS]

HEY! HEY! HEY!

HEY! HEY! HEY!

HEY. IT'S ME. HARRY.

WHAT'S GOING--
WHAT'S HAPPENING?

DR. HACKETT.
HE WENT CRAZY!

HE WANTS TO PUT ME UNDER.

HE FOUND ME
IN HIS OFFICE.

HE WANTS TO KILL ME!

WHAT WERE YOU DOING
IN HIS OFFICE?

I FOUND THE BOOKS.

ALL THOSE PEOPLE HE KILLED.

HE KEPT RECORDS OF THEM
LIKE THEY WERE LAB ANIMALS.

WHERE IS HE NOW?

HE'S IN THERE.

I'VE LOCKED HIM IN.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

HE SEEMS TO BE UNCONSCIOUS.

LOOK. YOU PUT THEM
BACK TO BED, OK?

I'LL TAKE CARE OF HIM.

HAVE YOU GOT THE KEY?

IT'S OK.

I'LL SEDATE HIM.
YOU'RE SAFE.

GO ON.

MAGGIE, COULD YOU
COME HERE, PLEASE?

WHAT'S HE
DOING HERE?

I DON'T
UNDERSTAND.

[DOOR LOCKS]

THAT'S RIGHT, MAGGIE.
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

IF JON IS PROSECUTED,
THEN SO AM I.

Maggie: BUT YOU
DIDN'T HURT ANYONE!

MAGGIE.

I'VE WORKED WITH JON
EVERY DAY FOR 10 YEARS.

I KNEW.

EVEN IF I'M NOT
HELD RESPONSIBLE,

I'LL BE DISCREDITED.

WHAT PATIENT'S EVER GOING
TO COME MEET ME AFTER THAT?

I'M VERY SORRY, MAGGIE.

[GASPS]

WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO DO?

Maggie:
DON'T HURT ME.

DON'T HURT ME!

NO! NO!

AAH!

DON'T FIGHT IT, MAGGIE.

YOU'RE JUST GOING TO HAVE
A LONG, LONG SLEEP.

NOW, GO AND FIND KEREBY.

GET HER BACK IN HERE
WITH AN ADMISSION FORM.

I'M ADMITTING HER.

A COUPLE OF EXTRA SESSIONS
OF E.S.I. AND--

WELL, COMPLICATIONS
WILL OCCUR.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

WE AGREED TO DRUG
HER AND--

SHUT UP, HARRY!
YOU'RE PATHETIC.

NOW, GET OUT.

FIND KEREBY. GET BACK HERE
WITH THE ADMISSION FORM.

I'LL GET A GURNEY
FOR OUR PATIENT.

[SCREAMING]

AAH!

[GRUNTING]

NO!

[PANTING]

Man: THE TRUST BETWEEN DOCTOR
AND PATIENT IS SACROSANCT.

IN THIS CASE,
THAT TRUST WAS BETRAYED.

PERHAPS THE MOST
DAMNING EVIDENCE

GIVEN TO THIS INQUIRY

IS AGAINST THE MEDICAL
AUTHORITIES THEMSELVES.

BY THEIR APATHY
AND PATENT DISINTEREST

IN THE WELFARE OF PATIENTS
AT THE ELYSIAN FIELDS HOSPITAL,

DESPITE THE REPEATED COMPLAINTS
BROUGHT TO THEIR ATTENTION,

THEY STAND CONDEMNED TODAY.

HAD THEY SHOWN AN OUNCE

OF THE COURAGE
AND DETERMINATION

EXHIBITED BY THIS LADY,

MANY LIVES
COULD HAVE BEEN SAVED.

IT IS THEIR LESSON
FOR THE FUTURE.

MISS HEALEY, ALL PATIENTS
UNDER PSYCHIATRIC TREATMENT

THROUGHOUT THIS COUNTRY
ARE IN YOUR DEBT.

YOU MAY STEP DOWN.

Maggie: THANK YOU.

[ALL TALKING AT ONCE]

THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT HAS
KNOWN ALL ABOUT IT

FOR THE PAST WEEK.

THERE IS NO PERSONAL
INVOLVEMENT ON MY PART.

WE'RE GETTING A FULL TEAM--

Woman: WILL DR. HECKETT
BE INVESTIGATED?

WE DO HAVE
A DIFFERENT TEAM, AND--
