What do you got a headache lower back pain and bags into my eyes that will qualify as luggage well I warned you not to join the ‘s office well it’s not my work it’s the divorce and this is an amicable split well they say divorce is
One of the big three for causing stress so starting a new job no the work’s a thing that’s keeping my mind off my troubles I suppose the corpse will do that ah Janet de Meer she lived here alone she’s been dead for about 2 hours judging by the splatter patterns I say
She saw someone come through that window and she caught three bullets running for the phone all the jewelry is missing I say It’s a Robbery gone bad so what they dragg me out of bed for you got this covered you want my job too no but I
Could go for another cup of coffee easier on the sugar this time good councilman Watson show up yet this early on a Saturday he likes big ticket murders weekdays 9 to5 no sound bites here it’s his wife in the body bag she ditched him a couple months ago started
Calling herself miss something or other and wearing a Wonder BR we’ve been trying to reach him on the phone there’s no answer we’re headed over there now let’s Go councilman Watson it’s the police I’ll look around how long are we going to stand around out here making noise you got a better idea we go in without a warrant and without probable cause Watson’s on the police commission I hate to hear one of your bad ideas hey you want to see
This it’s blood there’s more over here on the door Knob maybe we ought to knock louder this Time knock knock Hey what the hell’s going on who are you Steve SL homicide no wonder he didn’t hear anything sleeping pills huh how many of these did you take M three or four what the hell is this all about blood in the sink in the bathtub maybe you had a
Nose chief Master do you really believe that councilman Watson is capable of committing such a vicious crime let me just say this I have the highest regard for Mr Watson although I do believe that he is quite capable of doing anything to promote his own personal interest well
Some people are going to say that this arrest smells of a personal agenda I would say half of those people work for your newspaper man I’m also quite prepared for them to call this a battle over the mayor’s office regardless of the fact that neither Mr Watson nor myself have
Announced their intention to run so you truly believe that councilman Watson is guilty about corruption personal and professional yes I’m trying to destroy everything that Real Americans believe in I suggest you uh check his record of murder Chief is he guilty of murdering his wife oh no that’s that’s some question isn’t it
I uh I don’t believe it would be appropriate for me to answer that at this time do you thank you I think we just bought ourselves some commendations I hope that’s all we bought you know me Mark do you honestly believe I could do what they’re saying
You’ve been my patient for a long time Matt but Steve’s my son and he’s a good cop there one of the few I have to tell you man he believes you guilty as he should based on the evidence I’ve had a very public and very bitter separation from Janet and it was
Blood all over my house but I did not put it there who did there could have been 50 people marching through my house for all I know I went to bed at 8 and didn’t wake up until I was being arrested thanks to the tranquilizes you prescribed first decent night sleep I
Had since the separation you know Steve was right right there mat if he had seen evidence being planted he would expose it if he saw it the officer who found the blood was Tony Stang my commission on police brutality named him one of the 12 worst cops on the force and urged his
Immediate termination Masters ignored the recommendation of course it’s just it’s hard for me to believe Matt that police officers will let a murderer go and frame an innocent man just to silence a Critic how about to protect a corrupt power structure from the one man who stands a chance of bringing it
Down thank you for seeing me Captain Pike I just talked to Matthew Watson and he told you he was being framed it makes a strong argument go ahead doctor follow that thought wherever it takes you well I just want to rule out the possibility that what Waton saying is true don’t we
All if you do find anything odd I’d appreciate it if you’d come to me before the Press of course there was only one officer at the councilman’s home that was also at the crime scene and he’s going to take the biggest fall hello you expecting a Siege matter of
Fact we are won says he’s framed 10 seconds later your dad’s down here trying to prove it boy I see it the crap’s going to start hitting us any minute you got nothing to worry about do you my father’s Watson’s doctor just a courtesy yeah my dentist is on the way
Down here too what chance do we have against a city councilman and his powerful allies all my father wants is the truth we know what happened out there you got nothing to worry about oh so the truth is going to protect me I feel so much better already don’t you Fred I’ll feel
Better after I fire a couple of dozen rounds at the shooting range remind you old man who the good guys are huh we’re the ones wearing the Badges wow hey I had no idea so many people got killed in La well they’re not all murders Jesse some of the are accidents some of them are deaths by undetermined causes some are burn victims or parachutes that didn’t open drowning victims people at sea for days before they wash up on the
Beach please remind me to never do that again Jesse I’m sure you’re not down at my lab for a tour what’s up actually Mark sent me here to get the workup on Janet Watson and no mystery there cause of death was a 38 caliber bullet which
Punctured her aorta huh what about a tox screen nothing unusual just trace him out a minin and pseudo aedin hydrochloride cold medicine did you find anything that could possibly clear councilman Watson no but I may have found something that could convict him that was definitely Janet Watson’s blood all over his
House doesn’t look too good I don’t think I’ve ever seen an exercise bike like this before you can ride 7,000 different routes all over the world you still in France no no pass the board about 3 miles back just outside of GAD now look out huh where you been uh nowhere as exotic
I’ve been uh backtracking Janet’s movements for the past 24 hours she was home all day except for a trip to the drug store for some cold medicine maybe she was followed by one of those home invasion guys M and uh maybe space aliens came to take her back to the
Mother’s ship no no they use phasers not bullets my point as any the as possible right now all of our Pro points to councilman Watson he’s not helping himself by refusing to talk to the police except to say that he’s innocent which is somehow less compelling than
The fact that his wife’s blood was found all over his house let me see that file again I think we may have missed something a bullet evoled the inferior branch of the right main pulmonary artery causing Massive Internal hemorrhaging death that’s it for you Mr Fitz who’s
Next he’s the last one there are no more bodies what about the five car pileup you cleared that up before lunch well let’s do them again maybe we missed something that’s what we did after lunch H well let’s fill out the report on that drowning victim done think we’ve waited long enough to
Order those supplies let’s get down to it I got down to it this morning morning my my my aren’t we efficient I have to be to keep up with you Dr Bentley um do you mind if I go I’ve got a date with a guy in Radiology no you go you have a
Good time I’m going to stick around here I’m going to finish up you know stuff Dr Amanda Bentley staff pathologist agent County Medical Examiner what have you got Amanda I’m sorry to bother you but did you do a talk screen on the blood samples found at councilman Watson’s house sure did
Came up clean no uh drugs or preserving ages nothing at all okay thanks Amanda hold on I’m happy to do the autopsy over again if you like well no that’s that’s not really necessary are you sure I don’t mind no I appreciate the offer Amanda but uh I got
One I need here I appreciate the Work You want you wanted to see me sit down detective you here to check my hemorrhoids or is there something I I said sit down I never liked you Stang I fight for you because you clear cases when Watson’s commission called you dirty I persuaded them you were just
Being over enthusiastic made sure you kept your job I never got around to baking you a batch of cookies shut up Stang being a cop in this town is a lousy job but if you do it right I’m not going to make it any worse by busting
You over the small stuff that’s what makes you such a hero to all this little guys Captain you have one chance to save your badge here detective you want to take it or you want a mouth off as long as you’re clean no one’s going to to mess with you while I’m
Around but if you’re dirty nothing who says I’m dirty what does he know right now I just think that you framed councilman Watson for murder you think I don’t have to sit here and listen to this crap you had a motive you hated Matthew Watson I admit
I crossed him off my Christmas list a long time ago but you find one cop in this department who likes that guy go ahead Pike tell me you voted for him you had motive and you had opportunity you were the one who went out behind the house alone and found the
Blood on the steps and you found the blood in the bathroom now where do you think I got all this Blood oh wait your son must have given me a big gripping swab from the crime scene told me to go paint the place with it would that where
You made your mistake that blood didn’t come from the crime scene what are you talking about janed Watson was taking cold medication there was no sign of it in the blood at councilman Watson’s house it means the blood didn’t come from Janet Watson the day she was killed but some time before that
Premeditation and murder W I want to see my PBA rep that’s the way you want it if you want to talk I’m willing to make a deal with you but it’s a limited time offer I want your answer when I get back There goes my career and my pension you didn’t frame Watson he did you think that makes a difference I was his partner he goes down so do I cman Watson was just released 10 minutes ago and he’s already scheduled a news conference outside City Hall tomorrow morning if he really cared about this
City he’d keep his mouth shut well his wife was murdered his reputation ruined you can’t blame him for trying to get it back you don’t have to hold a press conference to do it public already mistrusts us exploiting the situation he’s just making things worse you get
Bloody up there you’re going to be right in the middle of it I made the bus was staying in h I’m already in the middle of it doesn’t help that you’re father brought down a fellow policeman I’m afraid I made a paray out of him staying was dirty rest I can live
With it’s locked oh no I’ll get the Door he’s Dead you couldn’t have known what he’d do I shouldn’t have left him alone he was a cop there was no other choice maybe where the hell did he get the gun could have been his throw down weapon he kept it in an ankle holster never know when you might uh
Shoot an unarmed suspect and need a weapon to plant on them guns have a habit of Disappearing even if they’re there you’ve been on the streets you know that get stang’s gun down the ballistics spread the word that any officer in my precinct carrying a second weapon better lose it it today
Dismissed this shocking Injustice proves what I’ve been saying for years about this Police Department They don’t serve the badge They don’t serve the community They don’t serve the law they serve Chief Masters in his Personal Agenda we demand we demand the chief’s immediate resignation and an in-depth reinvestigation of every case detective
Stang work during his long and deplorable career Steve is right that that kind of rhetoric can cause war in the streets I hate to say it Mark but the councilman has a point and you helped prove it the police framed them you know there’s too many questions
Unanswered to just leave it at Stang suicide who killed Janet Watson what is thinging get Janet’s blood I may have a lead on that after staying suicide I reopened the autopsy of Janet Watson and I discovered a nearly healed puncture in the crook of her arm which would be
Consistent with someone drawing blood so I called a family doctor and he said he hadn’t seen her in months well maybe she gave blood I can go down to the local blood bank and see if she made a donation recently oh that is a good idea
Can you get on it this afternoon yeah but you know there’s still one thing I don’t understand if Stang murdered her why didn’t he just use blood from the scene there’s only one reason I can think Of she’s talking to the chief huh they offered a course in lip reading at the Academy I never regretted skipping it until now you think they’re talking about your future my what it’s not necessarily over for you Fred yeah I hear burgertown is always looking for experienced security
Guards and that’s the way I feel about that Captain Lieutenant aren’t you aware there’s a eating going on in here yes sir I’m sorry I asked detective Sloan to bring me the ballistics report on stang’s gun as soon as it was ready I see yes so may I thank you
Have you seen this yes sir it appears that stang’s gun was the same weapon used to kill Janet Watson I can’t believe it who else knows about this no one sir the uh text didn’t know whose gun they were testing good let’s keep it that way are you thinking of trying to bury
This if Stang really murdered Janet Watson then we have a case Captain this is an ongoing police investigation we will announce the results when we have the entire truth word gets out it always does and then we look as if we have something to hide Lieutenant an officer staying inent her
Council in Watson’s house where were you right next to him sir and who made the actual arrest I did and who was in charge of the ballistics report on officer stang’s gun yes well you see it already looks like we have something to hide now doesn’t it
Sir if you’re suggesting then I I’m not suggesting anything Lieutenant the Press will do that and the suggestion that there’s a police conspiracy to murder Janet Watson and blame it on her husband is enough to sink us off that’s why we should come forth with everything we know as soon as
Possible Captain I don’t think I need to remind you that it’s taken this department 5 years and three police Chiefs to get over the last Scandal we had I don’t believe we could withstand another one you may bury that they never learn Captain it’s not the crime that
Brings you down it’s the cover up and we’re right in the middle but maybe we can get out we can’t release the ballistics report not against the chief’s explicit order if we can get independent evidence confirming our suspicions get us a search warrant for stang’s apartment and uh Steve do it Quietly Mike Dr Sloan is where Dr Sloan hi what are you doing in here well I have found that if I revisit the scam of a crime sometimes I can get a fresh perspective on things then shouldn’t you be over at Janet Watson’s house well we pretty well know what
Happened over there what we don’t know is what happened right here Stang jammed the door shut and blew the back of his head off what if he didn’t are you suggesting he was murdered I’m suggesting the possibility well even if we forget that he was holding the gun that killed Janet
Watson and that his hand had powder burns the door was Jam shut from the inside the windows are barred and the mirror wasn’t broken until I threw a chair through it I know but consider this Janet Watson gave blood at a City Hall blood drive 3 days ago now the banks
Disappeared but if Stang killed Janet Watson why would he bothered to take a bag of blood that was drawn 3 days before Oh that’s why you think someone else is involved someone afraid that Stang might talk mhm now let’s just assume for the moment that’s how it actually happened
How could it have been done well the killer would come in pull his gun and off stay put the gun in his hand and jam a chair under the doorknob with about 10 seconds to get out but how look at these iron bars over here they’re all rusty even the locks
Rusty but look closely at the Lock there all the rest is gone right around the loop means it’s been opened recently mhm damn who are the keys to that lock kept in the desk Sergeant’s drawer we haven’t checked for Prince but it’s probably a waste of time who knows about
Those keys every cop in the precinct in case of a fire or some other emergency there’s just one big problem with your theory there was no time between the sound of The Gunshot and US breaking into the room for the killer to get away we are assuming that the gunshot we
Heard was the shot that killed St what if it wasn’t what if the killer used a silencer to shoot St put the weapon in his hand escaped through that barred window climbed in a nearby room and safely away from the clim scene used another gun to
Fire up a blank and that’s the shot that we heard well that makes sense but how do you explain the powder burns on stang’s hand St and H and went to the shooting range couple hours before he was killed and there must have been 50 cops there who saw him and saw an
Opportunity what happened to that search warrant on stang’s place it’s right here captain Let’s go Lieutenant Captain I’ve got something it’s the Red Cross bag containing Janet Watson’s blood found it out in the trash good work what have you got trouble for all of us I found it taped under the drawer it’s a police intelligence file on councilman Watson it’s from the chief’s office I want to say this clearly and without equivocation individuals in this department have framed councilman Watson for murder and in all probability were involved in the killing of his wife and it appears that detective Stang planted Janet Watson’s Blood on the councilman’s property and it also appears that detective stang’s gun was
The murder weapon I share your horror at this abuse of the public trust but I urge you not to condemn the entire department because of a few corrupt officers I promise you that we will find the truth no matter where it leads councilman I want to thank captain pike
For her honesty and courage it’s good to know there are still a few police officers in the city we can believe in master behind this murdered is Captain Pike being considered to replace the chief my office will be releasing a detailed statement within the hour thank You are you all right I feel terrible how long this been twitching like that oh about couple of hours it’s just nerves I don’t think so you’re burning up Steve would you call an ambulance right Away still think I got a future here that depends on how much you knew about what Stang was doing you want to be a help grab that Bo for some of this crap Long Beach Refinery standoff I was still in the academy then watch you bringing out those hostages on
TV yeah I was a big hero that day great things in my future what happened Fred St stay happened I guess a dirty partner doesn’t do much for your reputation a suspect gets a couple of bruises es on the way back to the precinct a gun gets dropped
At the shooting scene doesn’t matter which partner did it you’re a team you could have said something right that’s not the department way is it we don’t talk we take action what are you getting at Stang didn’t kill himself yeah that didn’t seem much like his
Style oh you think I look good for popping him huh you were the first one at the interrogation room door I had to go to the can the door was locked I was waiting outside as a crack detective you must have observed that interrogation is right next door to the bathroom that’s
Your story you got motive you got opportunity go ahead cuff me what the hell do I care that son of a stting he couldn’t be content just humiliating Watson he had to try and destroy him humiliating him how with his wife of course stay and Janet Watson she got off
Sleeping with the One Cop her husband hated the most and Stang said it was the same for him and you never thought to mention that who would it have Helped hi I see the bike tour has been treating you well pedling the Green Hills of Africa try the steep hills of Spain I’d like to I going get a flight today well I came by to see how you were doing now I know saying things getting to you oh
No I love being despised by everyone I work with you remember back in college you found out the quarterback was getting to test questions early and I let you convince me to go to the administration you took a lot of heat back then came out all right I got cut
From the Squad my car got torched in the parking lot and I couldn’t get a date my entire junior year well yeah but I mean you you saw a wrong and you made it right I mean that’s what’s important especially if you ignore the fact that the quarterback
Got drafted by the pros the uh coach reup with a huge raay and they uh expelled some poor grad student who got blamed for the whole thing I could have sworn there was a life’s lesson in there somewhere the guilty were rewarded the innocent were punished and I got shafted
Okay the football story is a bad example no I think it’s pretty much a dead on you know I hate myself for even thinking this but in a way everybody would have been better off if you’d never proven the blood was planted well except for Matthew Watson who’d be facing a death
Penalty for a crime in any and what a loss that would be but I told you I hated myself we’re talking about bringing down the chief of police here you know it’s the right thing to do so is exposing the quarterback so why is he making 14 million a year and I’m
Checking to see if my car is on fire yet you remember back in high school when you got caught cheating on exams I got away with that Dad you never told me that hey I thought your shift ended hours ago oh it did I just have a lot of
Work to do Jesse I’m sure it’s nothing that can’t wait they’re dead they’ll be dead tomorrow you want to go home and see CJ before he goes to bed CJ’s with Colin this week there’s only a big empty house waiting for me well I tell you my shift is over
After I see this next Pati maybe we can go see that new movie Jack blood action fist huh it’s going to be good drives a monster truck with these rocket launchers thanks Jesse really but I want to finish my work okay I know what you’re doing and I did
The same thing when my parents got divorced you removed a liver I joined every Club I tried out for every team I volunteered for every charity I I even hung around after school to help clean rooms with the custodians I mean I would do anything except go home
And face that pain but I tell you it it catches up with you okay I’m fine Jesse I just want to finish my work okay but I’ll still save a seat for you at action fist thanks oh doctor this will teach me to eat fish tacos off a Roach Coach well that’s a
Good rule to keep in mind but your condition actually has nothing to do with food poisoning what then I’m looking at the files that your doctor sent over and there’s no record of a tetanus shot in the past 10 years we’ve started aggressive treatment and I think that we caught it early enough
That with a little luck you’ll be out of here in a day or two what if I’m not lucky doctor let’s not worry about that until we have to okay just get some rest uh why you continue IBD 5w half normal hi what the hell are you thinking uh sir
This really isn’t a good time yes let me remind you who the chief of police is here and it’s not you and by the way I will decide what goes public no one else you understand that I don’t let suspects in homicide dictate how I handle an investigation oh so uh we’re playing
Politics are we let me ask you a question what kind of an arrangement did you make with Mr Watson you wanted the ballistics report on stang’s gun suppressed Steve and I found an intelligence file on Watson from your office at stang’s place you add it up you don’t see how you’re being pled
By this bastard do you you don’t see that all you’re doing is tearing down the police department so he can become mayor I’m doing my job yes I can see that oh and Lieutenant SLO may it be the first we congratulate you you see when or if Miss Pike becomes Chief what’s that
Going to make You tell me you’ve got good news you tell me stang’s phone records look at that number it appears more than 30 times that’s the chief’s private Line chief we have to talk I’m taking over the Watson investigation while captain pike is in the hospital I don’t think that’s a good idea sir well I thank you for your opinion but give me everything you have on the case I can’t do that sir lieutenant
As long as you’re wearing that bad you’ll do exactly what I tell you to do that what you told Stang give me your files and your notes right now I don’t share the details of an ongoing investigation with a suspect and like it or not Chief you’re a
Suspect I am still the same police officer I was when I walked to beat in South Central Los Angeles Enda don’t ever forget that and I don’t break the law I force it then you know why it has to be this way you have a problem with that fire
Me yeah I got it over here you had better hope this turns out the way you think it’s going to because when it’s all over without with standing the question is for You get that thing away from me oh you look like you Do’s little pick me up well you know that’s what I said to myself the last 600 cups that I wor you know I’m sure you could use some time off why don’t have to go away somewhere for a
While Mark I can’t do that I have too much work besides I have six autopsies waiting for me thanks for reminding me she’s looking too hard she’s running hi Dad hi what’ you find out I checked with the Department’s janitorial service they cleaned the restroom the night before stang’s de what about the
Observation room mirror they did every room on the floor including all windows and mirrors was what I was afraid of dad this seems like an odd time to be concerned with the sanitary conditions of my workplace what’s going on unfortunately it proves that Stang was murdered by Cynthia
Pike ah that can’t be right you remember how Captain Pike got into the interrogation room yeah she shattered him Mir and climbed through cut herself pretty badly doing it what if she cut herself deliberately why to hide the fact that she had already cut herself on those
Rusty iron bars and what she didn’t know that she had already infected herself with tness when she did which you can’t get from a clean mirror why would she do it well I don’t know I have an idea but I don’t think we’ll know until we bring down the leader of this
Conspiracy Pike and Stang were in this together I didn’t want to believe it myself at first I still don’t Pike killed your wife staying planted the blood I just told the city she had my complete trust for God’s sake that’s exactly what you wanted you to do
Everything is going just as she planned along with Chief masters of course but why all the things you thought before to ruin you and to give Ms a clear shot at the mayor’s seat and he’d make C the first female chief of police in La history but when Dad figured out she
Were being framed Pike decided to make staying the Fall Guy and save herself Pike killed Stang and tried to make it look like a suicide but she made a couple of mistakes one fatal she contracted tus and she’s not responding the treatment well if she dies we’ll
Never be able to prove Masters was behind this there might be a way offer the chief a deal tell him you know about the intelligence Violet stanks and you’ll exonerate him if he drops out of the race and endorses you for me and wear this when you do
It what’s the matter couldn’t find any good empty warehouses or abandoned amusement pares why am I here because the next time we meet I’ll be wearing this I’ll offer to make you a deal on tape that will implicate you in my wife’s death and the plot to frame me
It’s your last chance to save yourself councilman Watson you may ease drop on every one of my conversation so the day I drop debt it’s not going to do you any good because we both know I had nothing to do with this it sure looks like you
Did that’ll be enough to ruin you unless I help you out so tomorrow we could put on an act that’ll clear you and put all the blame on Pike and St and what do I have to do forget about a couple of your parking tickets no I
Want you to drop out of the race endorse me and use your resources on my behalf while I’m in office and how will you explain what’s happened we say Pike and staying with lovers and she found out he was sleeping with my wife and didn’t like it so Pike
Figured out a way to kill her and play everything on St and you’ll say that Pike planted the blood at your house knowing that Dr Sloan would clear you and go after Stang captain pike kills Stang makes it look like a suicide end the story now you’re getting the hang of
It do you think captain pike will go along with it Pike is dying and even if she makes it who would believe her if you and I support each other you know councilman Watson it sounds very good I bet it even sounds better than
Tape you see it was a good thing one of us was wir watch the story is pretty close to the truth Chief with one crucial difference he was the one having an affair with Captain Pike he killed his wife and planted the blood on his own property we framed Stang and I killed
Him the only thing Stang was guilty of was bad luck shut up Cynthia you were willing to sacrifice me to save yourself one good turn deserves another honey you did it all so Masters would be disgraced Watson would become mayor and you’d be the new ch need for police get him out of
Here officer hollerin I’m very sorry about what’s happened to you I’ll make it right yeah sure beat Burger Town how did you know it was me when I realized the Pik kills thing I had to ask myself the question well who benefited from all this not master certainly I couldn’t have proved one
Thing if you hadn’t tried one last little manipulation I counted on you being a politician right to the end and you were you want to see me sir yes Lieutenant I do uh come in would you please excuse this moment yes sir thank you Captain Blake from North Hollywood will be taking over
Here he’s a good man yes well he does his job nothing more nothing less he’s too busy thinking about his pension not his politics well then I hope the department saves up for a nice gold watch for him I’m not not holding out hope for mine let me tell you something

And Ice lots of ice ice right got it have you ever seen anything incubate this fast once 1992 in zier Eola you know what you think a lucky size Dr downe is here when it comes to the treatment of infectious diseases the best there is what do you think the odds
Are that you would happen to be here at the beginning of an outbreak W what are the odds that any of us would be most likely we were where that disease would be walking out the door and into the streets fever coughing a taxi it’s hitting her pretty hard okay you’re
Going to be fine got a room for you over here how’s B uh unconscious but stable opposite of how I feel conscious and a little unstable doctor [Applause] yes let’s get this block cleared and cordoned off now let’s go on the double Department get those signs up Now 1182 this is Metro this is Lieutenant Sloan Metro what’s up there’s a guy here who wants to talk to you dris brought him in I’m kind of tied up right now Metro his name is bethers Jim bethers he says he’s Alex vander’s professor at the University I’m on my way that’s great
Thanks thanks we can use more blankets excuse me some ice too than are you in charge here um I guess so just as much as anybody else I was told I couldn’t leave yeah that’s right in fact you should probably go back to your room that is if you’re feeling all right I’d
Feel better if I could get out of here I think we all would but we’re just going to have to be patient okay but it’s really important I’m a model and I have photo shoot yeah it’s just going to have to wait the hotel is completely sealed off nobody can get in or
Out I guess we’re Stuck To he’ll be fine maybe people now the order for the quarantine comes directly from from the Department of Health but just because we’re all quarantined in here does not mean we’re all going to get sick we’ve had a small outbreak of Legionnaire’s Disease which we will contain we have
Excerpts from the CDC flying in all right I’m no happier about being stuck here than the rest of you are but we have seven confirmed cases so far I don’t want to be number eight they can’t keep it here that’s right they can’t keep us from leaving please stay
Calm they’re not going to let you out that door please go back there’s nothing we can do for you out here we can’t help you the doctors in there can sleep back up this is a Quarantine For Everything’s going according to plan what about Dr Sloan he wasn’t part of the plan no but is cooperating he won’t be a part yeah what about Vander he didn’t tell me he was going to get sick I bet you didn’t tell him that either it was an accident a horrible accident but
Don’t worry there won’t be any more mistakes so we’ll be together in the Caribbean or the south of France or wherever we want to Be yeah well that won’t happen if I don’t get through this wall then get busy I want no foot traffic at all keep those people Back where do you guys get off I was in the middle of class when your goon over there came in and dragged me out please accept my apologies we just didn’t have time for the usual pleasantries right like you ever have time for the usual pleasantries I don’t
Even get those when you’re writing me a parking ticket I need to talk to you about Alex Vander great not only do you drag me out of class but you drag me out of class to talk about my least favorite human being on Earth your former boyfriend from what I’ve been
Told what of it see that Hotel over there dozens of people are sick and dying because of a germ your ex-boyfriend let loose you and I are going to find a nice quiet place to talk and you’re going to fill me in on every single detail of his
Life how’s he doing actually starting to stabilize a little bit if we could just bring down this fever we might be able to get him to talk You’re supposed to be treating those poor infected people unfortunately I’ve got lots of help Sloan he’s been looking over my shoulder every minute and he and his little work Abes have managed to keep Vander alive what if he talks that would be a problem that would be the end make sure it doesn’t
Happen I don’t know about your timing my timing is perfect save the seduction act for crop and help me figure out what we’re going to do about Vander you want me to kill him with another injection of bacteria don’t tell me you’re afraid of getting your hands sturdy after all we have infected an entire Hotel full of people our little triage area is getting overcrowded anyway we need the bed space that we
Do Ariel what is it have you broken through you wish I’ll be right There do we have any ranton we’ve got everything they emptied half the pharmacy at Community General why oh re myison isn’t going to do it alone we need to augment what we have to do something let’s try it what’s the problem I got a list of
Problems this thick you said we only had to cut through an inch I passed an inch 20 minutes ago so maybe I was a little off yeah well that little bit’s going to cost us another hour let’s face it this is a disaster so it’s going to take
Another hour no big deal no one’s going anywhere everything’s going wrong first Sloan then this but we should to shut down and cut our lwuit the plan didn’t work how can you give up now when we’re just this close to millions and millions of dollars are you sure I mean it could
Be 3 in maybe four maybe the security system is better than you thought maybe the money isn’t even there calm down go upstairs and make an appearance I’ll take care of this go be strong for me I need You Don’t worry we’re going to try another Medication that should clear things up Nicely hello yeah Dad it’s me Steve any news the CDC special flight is in the air with an antigen thank God but it maybe 5 hours before it gets here I don’t think some of these people have five hours Steve how are you Jesse and Amanda doing well that depends what have
You found out her Vander is a grad student working on new antigens for antibiotic resistance strains of Legionella 6 weeks ago he walks into a cafeteria and a beautiful woman hits on him finds him and his work extremely interesting she CHS him because of his access that had bacteria and then she
Seduced him y big time he dumps his girlfriend stops seeing his friends starts coming in late or not at all the classes by all accounts he becomes totally obsessed with her anyone know who she is a succubus according to vander’s x she disappeared as fast as she appeared the only thing anybody
Remembers about her is that she was a jaw-dropping beauty this all sounds very calculated and professional to me yeah I know terrorist maybe no I don’t think so somebody would have taken credit or made demands by now no it’s something else I just wish I knew what it was so do
I I’ll be in touch Dad thanks Steve Mr crup hello doctor how we doing just trying to hold out until the CDC team gets here what’s the matter there that’s just an itch just an issue there’s no such thing I mean not a ground zero of an epidemic
Outbreak you know I had a rash this morning looked just like that I got it from surfing oh really I was down at the beach myself before worked you know I’d like Dr Sloan to take a look at that that won’t be necessary look you know that I can’t accept that please
Thanks you been in the water I swim every morning well good news is it had nothing to do with Legionella doesn’t make me want to start surfing anytime soon Jesse how’s your rash it’s pretty much gone know it’s funny yours took so long to break out you were
Both exposed about the same time you’re the doctor well give you some cortisone cream for it great Mark Jesse he’s dead uh-uh no this shouldn’t have happened so quickly I want to know exactly what killed him Oh for Is Hi hi I realized this isn’t the optimum spot for an autopsy but I found some intriguing information take a look at the slide I’ve never seen a concentration of bacteria like that there’s more Legion l in his system that can be accounted for by a simple cell reproduction how do you
Think it got there take a look the are puncture wounds injection sight now this one hadn’t completed clotting but I believe this is where he received his ranton shot this is where I administered the arthr earlier and here this is the oldest mark it seems as though he uh he shot himself
Up with with Legionella and he broke the vial and infected the whole hotel he couldn’t have given himself that shot as clear on the back of his arm but Vanda was Murdered Vanda I just don’t feel This Dame was hoarding more Jewels than Princess Margaret let’s just get what we came here for the Cash and The Jewels okay Buzz now why would someone have this in a safety deposit box take it why maybe it’s kinky could be fun I’d rather do it
Than watch it what on this tape is probably very embarrassing you never know when we might need to augment our cash flow judging by our take today it’s not going to be any time soon but it never hurts to plan plan ahead does all of this excite you
Yes is it the danger or the wealth or is it me it’s you there’s plenty of time for that later they’re going to start to miss you upstairs they’re so busy with the epidemic I doubt they even know noce I’m gone but if they do we’re in trouble go I’ll finish up
Here you found me because you needed someone with the knowledge of infectious diseases and that’s changed hasn’t it I need you now because I need you you know Mark I hate going from The Physician ranks to being one of the patients I hate it too Physicians been badly outnumbered since this outbreak
Occurred what was a graduate student doing in a $350 a night Suite with a stolen vial of Legionella maybe he was going to sell her to somebody maybe he was a terrorist I don’t know the main priority right now to get this disease whipped it’s a good thing
Dr down he was here yeah maybe too good a thing what it bothers me that an expert on the Infectious Disease it just happened to be on hand when this outbreak occurred Mark maybe we were just lucky although I sure don’t feel lucky right now is that cold enough yes that feels
Wonderful Jesse thank you you know with all the advances in medicine this feels like it’s helping me more than all the shots you gave me just let me know if there’s anything else I can get you uh doctors I’m not the only patient here why don’t you help
Some of the other people okay go on how you doing I’m fine I flushed I’m fine really thanks somebody please bring me some more towels yes doctor right away her you’re Amy how’s that well now the energy You’ got tell you the truth I’m feeling a little sapped so was Jesse
Poor Amanda well should be all right they all will CDC will be here in a few hours Mighty happy to see them get these people on their feet and then get to the bottom of this thing get to the bottom of what the murder murder yes a Mark I
Think it’s pretty obvious what happened Alex Vander stole some bacteria and cost him his life life I’m not sure he even intended to murder anyone well maybe not but somebody intended to murder him he was deliberately infected isn’t that strange the man who’s working with a vaccine brings the bacteria and not the
Cure what makes you think he was intentionally infected the autopsy autopsy yes I had Amanda perform one oh didn’t I mention she’s in LA County Medical Examiner well it’s lucky for us that she was here yeah just one amazing piece of Good Fortune after another isn’t it Yes All are you all right you know better than to sneak up on me like that I wasn’t sneaky where is crup still back at the hotel we have to leave we have to stay the vault is empty there’s nothing keeping us here except marlam what now we had a great plan a
Flawless plan got the hotel quarantine slip into the bank vault make off with the loot and it’s working I think we didn’t figure on was the worst possible luck in the world a doctor with a homicide detective for a son coming to lunch with an LA County Medical
Examiner who knew she was going to do autopsies in the kitchen wonder what the hell she used a pairing knife and a sup Ladle so what they know Vander was murdered but they don’t know about the bank and they won’t find out about it until Monday doesn’t matter Sloan’s in the hotel he
Knows who’s sick he’s been working sign by side with me if we’re not there when the CDC comes in alert the Police the FBI Interpol you name it so we make a run for it we’ve got enough money to disappear for a very long time don’t you see they’ll use words like biological
Agent not going to give a hoot about the bank vault they’ll say we were terrorists they’ll say we tried to kill an entire Hotel full of people our photographs will be all over the place what do we do we go back to the hotel we wait for
The CDC to come in we get our shots like everybody else and then we walk out with the rest of the guests we can come back and still be out of the country 24 hours before they find out about the robbery Ariel we have no
Choice I wish to God we did all right let’s get back to the hotel then you like another towel I’ll be right with you Sir That’s the second one we’ve lost in the last hour where is that anden Cameron yeah how’s Amanda she’s not getting any better you’re not looking so much better yourself like it’s just a matter of time before we all get sick if the CDC doesn’t get here soon it’s nothing I twisted at coming
Down the stairs this young lady was kind enough to help me I’m sorry I I didn’t get your name I’m Ariel I’m Dr Downey this is Dr Sloan Dr Travis we’ve already met how do you do hop up and let me have a look at it no Mark it’s it’s just a
Sprain we’ve got more important matters to attend to oh I don’t think I’m going to get my shoe back on that you’re sure or not that ankle is really swollen I don’t want you wearing any hard shoes Jesse why don’t you check Ariel out for any sign
Legionella but I’m fine it’s just a precaution we do with everybody it’ll take less than a minute I better get some ice for there look I have too much to do I have I can’t just Li you’re not going to be any help if you’re in too much pain to work
Now you know that we’ll try some ice on for about 10 minutes to see how you feel maybe I can scare up an aircast for you Sloan oh great that’s the best news we’ve had thanks CDC is here on the W MX in 15 minutes get some ice for that perfect
How’s it going we should be patching this up on the other side we should be on the way to the van right now no Downey’s right we wouldn’t even make it 10 miles look we didn’t plan this thing for 3 months to have a guy like Sloan
Come in here and screw this up forget about Sloan pretty soon it’ll be just you and me and Irv Downey I saw your lipstick on his collar I smelled your perfume all over him you you’re breaking my heart Ariel don’t be so possess iive finish up here and let’s Go this is a Dr Amanda Bentley Amanda these are the doctors from the CDC they’re going to give you a Shot How’s Amanda she’s responding to the antigen I am too you know as quickly as this thing incubated it dies that’s one thing would get me thankful for I’m just glad it’s over over Jesse is hardly Begun sounds clear good can I check out now you just checked in I want you here overnight you usually ask me that when you want me to run a toxic panel on a murder victim or a DNA match on a suspect or check out a suspicious piece of clothing exactly well Jesse’s taking
Care of that as we speak you need to rest St hey don’t look at me there’s nothing I can do to help you congratulations doctor you’re going to be be fine everyone is we’ve done all the blood analysis and the infection is in complete Retreat there were 24 acute
Cases and they’re being kept here for overnight observation but everyone else is faed to go home well it’s good you were there we couldn’t have done it without you let’s do lunch sometime okay you know where have find me have you met my son Steve uh no not that I recall did I
Mention he’s with the LAPD really it’s a pleasure to meet you solo should we going down to the path lab and see how Jesse’s doing yeah I hate when anyone is in my path lab fiddling with my equipment we’ll see that he puts everything back nice and
Neat this is the first time I’ve been asked to run a stat analysis on a sock you find what the stain with py canberries how do he get py canberries on his sock I don’t know is there an old stain no still a moist when I looked at the
Ankle why are you scratching your hands cuz it itches see you got a rash it’s hardly noticeable but it’s a rash all right how long ago you notice to the itching I know like a half an hour ago maybe I’m allergic to pyate canberries no I doubt
That it’s got to be something else Dad where are you going with this how many pirate can the bushes did you see around that hotel is this a trick question you’re supposed to answer none none that’s how many I saw yeah maybe not in the hotel but the side street bordering
The hotel is named mocking biran that’s right it’s famous for its Birds well also for the pyan the bushes that attract the birds bushes full of berries but if the hotel was locked down all day how did Downey get to Mocking Bird Lane wait minute Jesse that’s the same rice you
Had on your back this morning from sewage I bet if you check that sock you’re going to find some sewage in it I think Donnie went out through the sewer but why Steve can you get me a map of the sewer system for this area Good she isn’t here yet oh good it’ll give me a chance to tell you how things are going to go but we’re going to findly out of the cment we’re going to divide up the money and then you’re going to go away and leave me and Ariel
Alone why is that because it’s me she loves she told me so that’s ridiculous what could you possibly give her about $20 million and harly gives you an edge my friend look she shared things with me things from the heart things that she’s never shared with anyone
Else what can I say you got me beat I’ll bow out like a gentleman right after I get my money all right now take your share and go check out time Mr krap hope you enjoyed your stay we’ll dump the body in the canyon Your weapon to put your hands on your head I should have killed you and left when I had the chance how did you know what was happening how did you know where to find us let’s just say we had a rash of Clues Steve it’s been a whole week and I still
Can’t believe I won the medical examiner Society scene investigation award how about getting nominated for another one on the same day kind of makes getting infected with Legionella worthwhile you wouldn’t have performed the messy nominated autopsy in the kitchen otherwise it’s not this kitchen it’s another
Kitchen you got to stop talking shop in here hi sorry I’m late oh is that the messy well it’s messy now my boy she was admitted through the ER a couple of hours ago I thought her nephew was staying with her why didn’t he bring her
In apparently he went out to get some groceries uh the neighbor heard a crash Miss Lamar wouldn’t answer the knock and so he called the paramedics oh is she all right yeah a few contusions a couple of scrapes Dutton got here about 20 minutes ago with a translator demanding
To talk to both of us wonderful it’s very simple I’m aware that my condition is such that there is no cure none and I want to end it I want to die I want to make certain you thoroughly understand your medical condition I know my condition I have cancer lung
Cancer and it spread through my system I’ve been under treatment for the last 14 months radiation chemo all of it are you aware there are other procedures we can try I know that but that’ll only delay the inevitable for what just a few more months of
Pain and I want no part of it Dr Sloan is just trying to help we like having you around you’re very sweet but I don’t want to hear Anymore I intend not to eat any longer and I will not allow anyone to supply me with Fluids I want to die now Mr D you do realize that there are other treatments available to your aunt there’s a chemo radiation combination from the Institute there is a please don’t look I’m I’m not trying to be difficult neither am I but understand people have always been trying to tell
My aunt Franny what to do her whole life because she’s deaf because she’s stubborn and smart she knows what she wants she always has look this is her living will and she’s given me her power of attorney she uh she also wants to do not resuscitate order on her chart Mr Dutton
Dr Travis is trying to tell you the other things we can do for your end she doesn’t want anything except to be left alone to die her way but if there’s something else look Mark I’m with you on this medically but a living will does take precedent and so does DNR all we
Can do is follow the patient’s instructions I hope you realize what you’re doing it’s aun Franny doing this Dr Sloan not me that’s what I’ve been trying to tell you but you agree with her she’s going to die one way or another there’s no choice here and I
Hate that but I hate even more the idea of her being kept Alive by a bunch of machines please leave her alone let us do this her way how long do you think she has now without nutrients and fluids about a week this is wrong Susan told me that Francis Lamar died this morning he she did dehydration of caia as a result of endstage lung cancer just like she wanted it took her four days to die well we had no choice legally but with that new radiation and chemo schedule we could have had a
Chance very slim chance you know that and it is what she wanted TR I just hate giving up got a fight but it wasn’t our fight fight was hers I know we had to honor that but I don’t have to like it Dr Travis hi I I just heard about what
Happened I’m sorry I don’t your patient Francis Lamar um I just want to congratulate you on handling it in such a sensible way even though I’m I’m sure that was very hard on you excuse me who was that it’s uh Kate deib she’s the new attending I don’t know that much
About her she knows about you let’s see Frank you had your check up just last week all your medications is updated your next appointment’s Friday the 14th you’re 3 days early is there something you wanted me to do for you look Dr th I’m a very tough man at least I
Was CEO of my own Corporation until I got hit with this lugar’s disease and I wasn’t even a Yankee fan I know Frank whenever I had to make a tough decision in business I always did my own research did this time too looked it up in dozens of reference books amyotropic lateral
Sclerosis I know exactly what stage I’m at where it’s going I’m going to lose all muscle which I don’t have much of now anyway but then I lose speech and then increasing pain until finally I strangle to death on my own spit Am I Wrong doctor am I okay that’s why I’m here
Today to ask you to help me to do the only sensible thing I’m suffering Mark I want you to help me to end it l how do you feel about this I think that’s Frank’s decision if he wants to go Frank I can’t can’t believe you want to
Give up now after all you’ve been through it wasn’t exactly a snap decision no no of course not you did your research you thought about it and you discussed it and you decided to let it beat you all I need from you is a prescription for something morphine anything hell
You’re the doctor you should know oh yeah I know all right I also know if you’re half the tough businessman you say you are you’ll rethink this and do what jump out of a window off a bridge maybe I can’t even go to the bathroom without help maybe I should starve
Myself to death no no you find a way to make the quality of your remaining time as good as possible for you and for Lois there is no quality there’s no way to fight this I want it to end and I don’t want Lois doing anything I
Don’t want her in any trouble after I’m gone I Want It Done Quick neat and painless will you help me or won’t you all right I’ll find someone who will Lois get me the hell out of here You sent for me Mr roax Harold please call me Harold you sent for me Harold you are a very senior staff member very senior is this about my retirement retirement oh no no thank God Mark do you know anything about a new attending physician Kate the not really no I’ve got some very
Disturbing material here about her mhm from Oklahoma seems she was involved in one of those assisted suicide cases in Oklahoma didn’t get the sort of publicity that these cases usually pile up but you know I’ve got it here somewhere the uh district attorney and Enid came close to an indictment on
Manslaughter or something but then they sort of dropped the whole thing because of the history of indictments and trials like that and well it’s just our luck she turns up at Community General well then you or your staff look into her professional record her Vita I’m looking
Into that but that’s not one of the questions we routinely ask have you ever been indicted for manslaughter this is all we need with the endowment Drive coming up a community general doctor on the 7:00 news for murder well you said she’s never been indicted I
Know Mark you were on the sidelines with that deaf woman that starved herself to death but this is different believe me what do you want me to do Har well the hell of it is we can’t just dismiss this doctor to Le without some reasonable cause that would backfire Mark I want
You to sort of keep your eyes and your ears open God forbid anything should happen okay I’m connecting a small morphine drip here just enough to cover the pain all right now do you see this cord when it’s pulled the other medication will flow from here all right
But it will only do so if you pull the cord do you understand yes all right I think we should try it before I actually put the medication in I’m going to wrap this cord around your finger let’s see if you can pull It very good all right now Frank nothing will happen unless you want it to unless you pull that cord do you understand Yes thank you Frank Dugan was a patient here at Community General he had Advanced lugar’s disease and he was a patient of your father’s I assume you notified Dad yeah right after I paged you what about a preliminary autopsy I ordered a full talk screen so far I found morphine in
His system an overdose doesn’t look like it I found a sedative and a long acting muscle relaxing if the dosages were high enough it was probably that mixture that killed him I’ll have the vial in the tubing we found sent over so you can check it out is that him
Mhm he wanted to die asked me to help him you didn’t of course not what was it morine sedative and muscle relaxant Ivy needle was still attached you I can’t believe he actually did that to himself he didn’t looks like he had hell he found one of those
Suicide machines on the table next to to him his wife I don’t know I do know the gear the uh tubing The Ivy set up in the reservoir came from Community General still had the labels on them one of our people well actually the string that triggered the flow of drugs was attached
To his finger and when you get write down to it he must have done it himself technically that’s right but technically maybe ethically No oh oh Dr son if you hear about the pounding I’m almost done this is my last Frank Dugan was my patient until he came to me and you killed him I was nowhere near Frank Dugan when he died he couldn’t possibly have had access to the tubes of the
Needles much less the medication you set up that equipment you’re responsible for his death it’s not really much of an office is it but then it’s not really what happens in our offices that counts it’s what happens in our treatment rooms it’s what happens in our Wards our dingy
Motels death can only occur in the pristine confines of a hospital no of course not but it could have happened in a home or a hospice or here with all those things beeping and flashing an entire staff dedicated to to keeping an organism alive that all common sense is
Is dead how is that more dignified than what Frank Dugan chose you’re condemning the entire medical profession not at all I am just condemning that part of it that’s taken control of our own deaths away from us Frank Dugan wanted that control back he came to you he asked for
Help you refused so I didn’t think he was in the right State of Mind to make that kind of decision what kind of frame of mind would you have wanted him to be in you see you have wanted him that’s control Frank Dugan wanted to commit
Suicide I have it on tape in his own voice so you caused him to die whatever he did he did himself oh and you merely supplied the means doesn’t that bother you the medicine you practice causes death okay Dr Sloan how long have you been a practicing physician 35 40 years
Your point and in all that time you have never seen a baby be delivered with just lethal birth effects that somebody just quietly let go or a young man’s respirator be turned off whose EEG just flatlined after a car wreck that’s not the same thing it’s exactly the same
Thing and it’s hard and it’s painful for us and it’s simple and it’s painless for them you’re going to keep doing this aren’t you I’m going to keep listening to my patience yes then I’m going to find a way to stop you have a seat I really appreciate you coming down
Here hope it wasn’t too difficult for you no I am so sorry about what happened to Frank I really cared about him about both of you hope you know that I know Mark I’m sorry too sorry about the way he acted angry is that Lou Garrick’s disease I
Know he was so afraid of not being tough I think that’s why he wanted you to help him do what he did must have been so hard for you in that motel room watching me get ready to die I I know when my wife had cancer never easy kind of a bur really
Yes it’s exactly like that kind of fuzzy could very confusing too all that equipment and all the things that Dr de was setting up the drugs I really didn’t understand she was hastening Frank’s death no I knew that that’s what Frank wanted what he asked you
For only you said no because I wanted him to live I wanted him to live too only I wanted him to be at peace more and so did she Dr Del well I guess probably some help not having any regrets about what she did oh Mark I have
Regrets I have regrets I loved him I’ll always wish that it hadn’t happened that she hadn’t intervened that he hadn’t gotten sick you know the truth is as much as I hated what Frank felt he had to do I love Kate De le for Having the courage to help him
Uh nurse I need your assistants I’m an ER nurse not ICU you’re an employee of this Hospital aren’t you yes well then when an attending physician gives an order you carry it out no matter what service you’re on you’re not Mr Goodman’s attending Dr Joseph’s is well
I got a call from his daughter this morning she wants me to take over the case and she has the power of attorney unless you’re questioning that as well no doctor good now it looks like Mr Goodman has been receiving plasma FIS treatment which hasn’t been effective but he’s
Only been here 2 days the last time his Gom Beret led to paralysis it took him a while to respond but he did and he walked out of here I want you to remove Mr Goodman’s plasma F’s catheter and I want you to prepare him for discharge his daughter
Wants him to spend the rest of his time at home with her paralized I’ll have to notify Dr Joseph’s I am Mr Goodman’s pH of record my orders are in this chart and unless you want me to pay a little visit to the nursing administrator I suggest you carry them out I don’t know what you want me to do dad I want you to find a way to arrest K to leave her murder Mark you know I had to rule that as a suicide she supplied Frank Dugan with materials and the means to kill himself now that’s got to be
Murdered on some level not an illegal one should be look the da is keeping an eye on her I will too to start you know maybe we can help how by keeping a close watch at that hospital if she inquires about or approaches any seriously ill patient we
Call Steve all right I’ll discuss it with Jesse and the rest of the staff good we have to stop her before she kills somebody else I’ll be in touch man’s headed back to the hospital she’ll call if anything comes up good won’t take long Kate de’s on a crusade we’ll get
Her you I’m a little confused here what about going after a killer now how about you we’ve dealt with a lot of killers over the years but I don’t ever remember you being this angry about one you know she asked me the other day
If I had ever let a patient die and what did you answer I didn’t but the truth is I have all doctors have those decisions come with the job but there was this one case over 40 years ago I was just out a residency 83 year old woman in extreme
Demensions didn’t call it Alzheimer’s in those days and in terrible pain undiagnosed a tumor probably occasionally she had Lucid moments and in one of them she said to me let me go it’s time here was your great grandmother you never told me she was your patient she wasn’t she thought she
Was a course the whole family thought she was I guess I thought so too what did you do I prescribed morphine or pain a lot of it she lasted one more day no one ask anything no why should they 83 year old woman I don’t believe this you know I think your mother guested never said a word I thought I was being a good doctor doing what was right for a suffering patient but the next morning when I woke up I knew just turned St he to leave a killer Steve I have got to
Stop her you Understand here they are these are the tapes I told you about these are the ones where you and your father discussed his wishes yes after the first time when he could talk again we sat at the kitchen table he’s a very gentle man my father he didn’t want anyone to have any
Trouble about this not me not you I someone like you because it’s his choice that’s what he says on these for the record yes he made certain we put it all on tape what he wanted to do um but there is one thing from what I understand about how this works it’s
Okay but he’s paralyzed he can’t pull a string he he won’t be able to give himself the injection don’t worry it’ll all be taken care of okay it’s Time Hey hey Mark yeah do you know a patient named David Goodman oh yeah the one with k b syndrome uh Dr Joseph’s patient right not anymore what I went into to check on him earlier Dr de had taken over she had me get him ready for discharge got to St she already signed
Him out the last time he was here Goodman and his daughter were talking about suicide call Steve tell him what’s happen tell him to meet us at Goodman and tell him to hurry David I need to ask you one more time if this is what
You really want to happen if you want to die now if so blink twice all Right We’re looking for Dr cake to leave what where is She Dad I paged you 10 times and then left 20 messages on your answering sh spent the afternoon with the district attorney they’re going to take the case to the uh grand jury by the end of the week going for murder one you think they’ll get it it’s open and shut the Le
Was found with a murder weapon in her hand the syringe that completed the paralysis and disease time you wanted to nail it for murder we nailed it but Murder One implies a conscious premeditation to wrongdoing doesn’t it she brought the syringe than the drugs with her how much more premeditation do you
Want you know I saw Dave Goodman at the hospital thought you said he wasn’t your patient oh he wasn’t we all knew about him he was one of those rare cases of Gom Beret for the total paralysis returned twice man was only 62 years old couldn’t move couldn’t feed himself self couldn’t
Speak but he could still think you’re not saying Del was right oh I was just thinking if we’ gotten there 5 minutes early and I’d been able to stop it what kind of a life and death would I be condemning him to you’re thinking about my great grandmother so you changed your mind
About Kate Del she didn’t commit murder after all no no that that that was murder that one was definitely Murder come in I have to appear in front of the grand jury well that must make you very happy but you appear to be angry I don’t like it when the medical profession and the legal profession get mixed up together it confuses things oh well they’ve been mixed up together since the
Time of escalus there’s always been limitations to the practice of medicine fortunately now we’re able to do transplants I don’t need a history lesson and I don’t need your condescension so would you please leave my office and let me tear it down in peace why are you doing this
Because I feel that it’s my duty as a physician to help my patients end their suffering but why take the next step from assisted suicide to active euthanasia to murder because there are some patients that are so physically weakened they can’t pull the cord themselves but their
Commitment to dying is just as strong and and and I’m not going to let a bunch of lawyers and outdated medical ethics stand in their way I told my son you’re on a crusade it’s not my crusade it’s my patience you broke the law the law needs
To be changed I don’t think this is about the law or about your patient think it’s personal something happened to you somewhere in your life and this is your way of fighting back Oh you mean like I had some some parent who died some longsuffering death
And I don’t want to see anybody else go through the same thing something like that well it’s nice Psychiatry but it’s wrong my father deserted us when I was a baby and my mother’s what they call dysfunctional anywhere I got I got there on my own so you became a doctor so you
Could help other people in a way that you’d never been helped very good that still doesn’t explain to me how you went from helping people live to helping them die I think that we’ve covered this oh yes that’s right you want to help people regain control of
Their lives and their deaths yes I don’t think so I think you’re imposing your definition of control on other people by telling them what to do when they are at their most vulnerable when they’re looking for someone anyone to take over for them that is not What’s Happening
Here you cannot control Life by controlling death it’s backwards and even even if it weren’t yours is not the only way Francis Lamar chose to let her disease take its own course oh that was difficult it was painful hard to watch but she took control there’s dignity in
That but what you did to David Goodman wasn’t dignified it was convenient but then I guess that’s your definition to control isn’t it well that’s some hell of a crusade you’re on doctor so you would have condemned him to suffer that’s what you want for your patients that’s what you want for
Yourself or or or somebody that you love I mean because if that’s true then that is one hell of a crusade Doctor do you know uh which attorney representing believe Carl blumenstein does a lot of civil liberties cases I’ve run into him a few times he’s a pretty good guy for a lawyer I never understood why a person’s attorney isn’t allowed to go in with them they supposed to keep
The legal ease down to a dull roar I know but if the witness has to keep running out to talk to his or her attorney I mean yeah I think if I was on the grand jury I’d be annoyed what makes you think they’re not besides the more
She talks the more likely she is to give the da what he needs Mr Patterson the point I am trying to make is Dr de I am conducting this hearing and I would appreciate yes but you’re not letting give us all a lecture you’re here to answer questions not deliver a diet
Tribe I would like the grand jury to note that you are not allowing doctor I do not want to have to take you before the judge for contempt you are the one who is showing contempt for Mr Goodman all I’m trying to explain is that he expressed his desire over and
Over to end his suffering I have it all on tape in his own voice and if there’s any subsequent trial your defense Council can present all the evidence you want now you didn’t answer my question I’ve forgotten it then I’ll refresh your memory did you inject David
Goodman with what you knew would be a fatal combination of drugs yes or no it’s a simple question yes I did but I thank you I have no further questions ladies and gentlemen the point we are making the point which we will reinforce with further testimony is that this is
Not just another case a physician assisted suicide this is a case a physician murder the next witness you’ll be hearing from is Amanda Ben I a man have been in there anyway about 45 minutes they’re probably going over all the autopsy reports Frank Dugan maybe Francis Lamar why what has that got to do with this trying to establish a pattern Dr marel now you can come with me Dr SL
So that in the case of Frank Dugan Dr J took over your patient from you yes uh he never told you he was changing doctors though did he uh no but he was very angry with me when he left was that because you refused to supply him with a lethal substance apparently
Yes now in the case of David Goodman he was not my patient yes I know what I want you to do is to describe exactly what you saw when when you and Lieutenant Sloan broke into David Goodman’s bedroom uh Mr Goodman was on the bed there were no vital signs he was
Dead yes and where was Dr de beside the bed and in her hand a syringe and what did you say I said what did you give him and she indicated the vials these these vs yes yeah we’ve already heard testimony from the assistant corner that these contained a muscle relaxing and a
Sedative the man was dead Dr deib had the syringe in her hand and when you said what did you give him she indicated the vies so she admitted to you that she had performed the injection of what proved to be the lethal drugs is that correct Dr Sloan is that correct sir
Yes you you are a physician of long experience and excellent reputation your your work on behalf of law enforcement is well known your outstanding record of service at Community General is equally well known considering your seniority and standing I’d like to ask you one final question would you have filled a a ringe
With a lethal substance and injected it into David Goodman no a simple no I I think it would be helpful to have on the record whether you have any further ideas about Dr D’s actions I’ve only had one thought since David Goodman died one thought when my eyes are closed late at
Night when I’m with patience and it won’t let me go and that thought would be 10 years ago there was a patient at at the community General 10 years and 3 months your patient no not officially it was my wife Katherine I was aware of the spread of
Her cancer and how the uh radiation chemotherapy were giving her pain but with no appreciable benefit I was sit with her for hours just watching her suffer and uh one thought kept coming to my mind the thought that I had it within my power to end that
Pain that I could get rid of the the torture that standard medical procedure had put her through for the last two years two years but I couldn’t but not that it wasn’t possible there were many many ways I could have done it so why didn’t
I uh perhaps I was too close to be rational maybe it was because I was afraid frightened uh by guilt insecurity or God forgive me just selfish concern for my own professional reputation whatever the uh reason I did nothing I sat for three months and watched her die in agony
As for my uh thought that won’t let me go it is that Kate deib may be more honest and more courageous than I am how to go you all right see there’s something I have to tell you I should have told you 10 years Ago and grand jury ruling just came out it’s about time it’s been 4 days five they had a lot to argue about I don’t think you made it any easier for them why what happened second deegree manslaughter that way they don’t have to prove Criminal Intent oh is a trial date set
Yet no but I’ll be talking to the DA I’ll let you know Dad I’ve been thinking about mom a lot I want you to know it’s okay Dr SL good iot to turn in my badge uh I’m sorry about what happened with your wife I I I know the grand jury
Testimony is supposed to be sealed but you know the lawyers have a way of finding things out yes they do something I can help you with doctor I want you to be on my witness list for the trial why I don’t approve of what you do
And I wouldn’t lie about it well no I don’t want you to do that but at least you can tell the jury that I’m honest about what I do that you’re not doing it for the publicity I want the way we treat dying patients to change I don’t care if they
Cover it or not you know I’m not so sure that this is the way to make the changes you want but you seem to have conflicting emotions yes yes I do but you know that many patients who are terminally ill fall into severe depression and it’s the depression
Demanding the suicide not the person that’s why I need to be so careful when I screen my patients but it should not be left up to a single doctor I mean if we’re going to make this step as a as a profession we must have second opinions
We must have peer reviews we must have a waiting period that sounds like a crusade all right I’ll be on your witness list but you might not like what I have to say well as long as you tell the truth I’ll like what you have to say even if it helps
Conviction well that’s up to the jury not us see you in court if you are on the jury how would you Vote friends and neighbors though we haven’t been neighbors long I hope I may call you friends when the work we begin here today is finished the hills about us will be transformed where once there was only Baron Earth new life will arise new streets new homes was penos Canyon

Some extra burn packs good idea I’ll talk to the Medevac guys and see if I can round up some off duty nurses and see what I can do about an emergency supply restock all right the cots and exam tables are on their way the portable oxygen and the Crash carts are

Designated a staging area for volunteer firefighters and other emergency personnel local Mayor Bill know it feels like every year there’s another fire in the canyons and every year half these folks have to be evacuated I don’t get it it just seems like if any of these people had half a brain they go
Somewhere else no I know I didn’t mean that I wasn’t talking about I know what you mean living in a fire zone doesn’t make a whole lot of sense but you don’t have to worry about safety where you’re going to go Kansas has got tornadoes Texas has got floods Flor Disney
World these Canyons have long been a living example of culture diversity shelter for the Back To Nature Advocates Hideway for the rich and beautiful and for example here’s Peter Grace leing the fire line Mr Grace how long before you lose everything no I’m great I’m no I’m

Area a writer and sometime movie critic Bell was best known for his seminal 1974 essay politics and rage like K Right Amanda you all right why why wouldn’t I be well maybe it’s because you’re in the path of Raging Fire six fire battalions from two counties can’t seem to get under control the sun sets in what 2 hours the winds are picking up and if that fire jumps Pacific Coast Highway
You’re going to be trapped between it and the ocean no I’m not going to worry about it if you’re not to worry about why didn’t’t you worried about it I hid it well listen I need you to do an autopsy for me mar look I don’t know how
Things are in youran but we’re a little overbooked here well I need to know the amount of a demon Jerry grail’s lungs or something very odd about the way he died okay I will have a preliminary report ready for you in about a half hour after
I received the body that would be great Amanda only if you agree to be out of there before Sunset that’s the plan thanks Amanda okay it’s gr’s tank like I told you it’s full that can’t be right this thing should be full Air look at there the empty tank Al AR been disabled and the gauge is broken too no matter how little air in there there start show far yeah but even if he ran out of air he wasn’t in that house long enough to die of smoke in it like you’re
Absolutely right so you’re saying that the bean that fell on him kill no no his injuries weren’t that bad he suffocated all right but from lack of air in that tank not from smoke so whoever rigged this tank had to make sure that Jerry used it and they
Started a fire in the Hills because they knew that Jerry was a volunteer fir that makes it ours it also makes it murder gr was the only threat left that this n’s development of losos Canya Estates well the fire started in loso so it could have been Newman but well you know
Killing a man and endangering that many homes that’s an act of Revenge Sally Sally Sally you don’t have to do this get out Sally look this is no way to handle this you don’t know anything about it just leave me alone can’t just leave you alone and yes I do know a
Little bit about this I hate this well that’s one thing that I do know everybody glad they said everyone in this stupid damn Town they’re out there celebrating come on you don’t believe that Jerry had the one thing in this Canyon that everyone wanted that couldn’t have it was true freedom and
They all hated him for it especially my father that’s not why I hated him oh no you just hated him because of the AE thing how that’s all that mattered to you I hated him because he took advantage of you all right look guys we’re all a little no he was there for
Me when mom died is that taking advantage in Jerry’s case yeah I don’t want to hear anymore you know what he was doing don’t you look guys why don’t we go outside sit down have I saw it for 25 years I saw it that hippy touchy feely pseudo sympathetic crap stop it
Dad every young woman whoever fell in love with his stupid poetry reading stop summoning notches on his bed post I thought his bed was going to fall to the ground I am not a Joke no you’re not you’re my a daughter and you deserve love and loyalty something that Jerry Grail was never capable of giving you you don’t know what he gave me or what I needed you never bother to ask I hate You let Mo that Patrol vehicle he let’s put together a lot of people are going to be wiped up by this just finishing off what I started right I didn’t say that half the is already dead why’d you come back here Howard you know Steve I don’t think you’d believe
Me last time I saw you after the trial never saw a man so angry I blamed everyone for what happened Banks stock market SEC and Jerry Grail I blame gr most people when they receive a dividend check for a stock they’re sure they don’t know they either send the
Money back or they pocket the cash Jerry Grail called the SEC you were using client accounts like his to hide your insider trading and the SEC confiscated those accounts so my clients lost their savings and I spent the last 6 years 6 years in federal deare you must have really hated J gril
Jerry didn’t ruin my life Steve I did there’s Two that’s why I came back to make amends if only they let me somebody sabotaged Jerry’s safety equipment you have a motive and you’re at the staging area when we loaded up I wasn’t the only one there besides with plenty other people around here that wanted gril dead like Chris
Newman like everybody’s favorite grer mayv Trear W find anything no not yet no telling what Set It Off could be a cigarette out the window weed whacker hitting a rock sending up a spark sometimes it’s a little piece of glass son hits it just the right angle yeah well I don’t know sand Demus in ’93 was firecrackers
Sunland in ’94 was a homeless guy campfire then it was pcoa in 90 you wouldn’t believe how that thing got started well hate to see any place burn like this well don’t blame the fire it’s Nature’s Way of cleaning house sort of like cleansing the pallet you might say
Setting the stage for New Growth New Life rebirth you take Yellowstone 89 the way that place came back excuse me you think nature put this here I hate people all right guys we got arson we’re looking for a gas can who knows where this crazy might have toss
It I’ll get this to forensics you know he might want to pack it up looks like the wind shifting again got a good eye forget the can we’re leaving it’s not going to go anywhere I’ll see you down below As you can see back in the studio the fire is really threatening to jump Coast Highway now officials have been especially worried about this since it’s going to make access to the upper stretches of houses along the beach hey Mark they just said fire is about to
Jump the Pacific Coast Highway I was afraid that was going to happen aren’t you worried about your house just a house it’s full of furniture and memories I can buy new furniture and the memories are all up here at least most of the time excuse me Dr s yes you know where
Steve is last I remember he was headed for Los penus Canyon to meet you yeah he did but then we found the gasap and he was headed back down so then it was definitely arson I hate to try and catch these fire bucks might be your neighbor
Might be your boss we even nailed the volunteer fireman I really hated that I remember it was lagona 94 you said theve was headed back yeah it was about 30 minutes ago when the wind ped up he isn’t here no no he isn’t yeah this guy was raking all kinds of toilet paper
Putting in the big pile well I got to uh doctor there was a finger fire It’s not in there mark we found Steve’s truck but he’s nowhere around over you know Bill maybe headed for the Coast Highway on foot over yeah maybe but there’s only one road out of that Canyon I think we would have seen him over but maybe went cross country bill yeah I doubt it
Though wait a minute I think I see something somebody to go back and get a sto stretcher Bill what is it is a steeve it’s a fire shelter if he was able to crawl in before the fire went up the hill hang on what’s Happening Bill talk to me is Steve is he alive yes both we’re getting him out of here where’s that Stoke stretcher go back and get some oxygen oh there you go coming through right here Steve start an i ringer lack it we need to hydrate him Mark yeah I’m all
Right let’s check him for injury okay he’s got first and second degree burns on both hands contusion 15 cm above the right ear no apparent frct of any probable concussion his heartbeat is irregular he need to go in shock all right let’s get him on metac Community
General you just lie still you’re going to be all right who’s that met found a gas can the tire tracks ball tire somebody hit me did you see who it was no came two of them gas can was gone tracks are gone I promise you we’ll find
Out who it was get him out of Here has years how badly is he hurt any surgy Burns no uh probably uh concuss him is he conscious well in and out uh order him a CAT scan and try to keep him in bed do you can I use restraints how’ the Jerry gr autopsy
Come out oh he had a demon his lungs all right but not what you’d expect from smoke inhalation you check his Airways mhm swollen shut he have asthma I never saw him using an inhaler I pulled his records he never used one he controlled his Disease by using fyin tablets and
Bronco steroids which he kept hidden you know Jerry was always very Vain about his health well his vanity killed him if he had had an inhaler with him he could have counteracted the effects of the smoke and his throat wouldn’t have swollen shut he still be alive although
You know if he had the offlin in him his lungs would have been fine well maybe he stopped taking it or maybe he stopped taking it didn’t know he had stopped medac here with Steve Mark don’t worry we’ll take good care of him I know you will honey thanks
Amanda now which one of them knew one of them knew what Jerry Grail had Ezra and he was out there fighting fires that’s not too smart he never was one to let Common Sense get in the way of whatever he wanted to do the question
Is who knew he had asthma and who wanted him dead what about Chris Newman I mean gr’s house was the last thing standing in the way of that new development yeah I’m sure Chris is glad to see him gone too but what about Howard Howard forell spent 6 years in prison because Jerry
Fed him to the SEC I got caught in the middle of a fight Sally shont had with her father about Grail and you have no broken Bones foreign spee Foreign fore Foree fore Fore spe Foree fore
