A lady we found About ten minutes ago.

We can't revive her.

Guy across the street says She calls herself alice

And that's about All we got.

Alice!

Alice, can you hear me?

Very weak pulse.

We'll need the mask.

There's no signs of trauma.

That's the first thing we check.

Get the backboard, Please.

It's all right.

Just lie still.

Let's get her in the ambulance.

Okay.

Give us A hand here.

Easy does it.

You're all right.

Amanda, will you Take my class?

Sure.

Mark, what was that song You were singing?

"Pennies from heaven"?

Oh, jack, You are depressing.

Look, I think I'm going to admit alice.

Maybe she'll Say something

To help us figure out Who she is.

I wouldn't count on it.

Not with advanced Alzheimer's.

You think That's what she has?

Oh, come on, Didn't you see her?

In her mind

The allies just landed On the beach at normandy.

You don't think so, Do you?

Well, can't be sure.

First, we have to rule out Thyroid and stroke--

All the things That have her symptoms

Then if she has alzheimer's, We'll know.

Okay.

How's he doing?

Not great.

We won't know

Until we get To the operating room.

Eyewitnesses said He took a bad hit.

He did. Who is he?

I don't know. No I.D. On him--

Nothing.

What are you looking at?

Uh, nothing.

You look different.

Oh?

How's that?

I don't know. New haircut?

No.

You're combing it Differently.

No.

My imagination, I guess.

Hi. What are His odds?

He got hit pretty hard By that car

But I think He's going to make it.

We'll know by morning.

Call me if there's Any problem at home, amanda.

Sure thing.

Any idea who he is?

No I.D., no wallet, nothing.

The only thing we have

Is a witness who says It looks deliberate.

Deliberate?

That's what he said.

Well, I got to run The paperwork on this.

I'll see you later.

Okay.

Deliberate?

Woman: Where have you been?!

Nice to see you, Too, delores.

You must have been Somewhere

Because you haven't Been here.

You left Your beeper off again.

Yeah. I was down in o.R.

I keep forgetting To turn that thing on.

Maybe you'd like to get Reacquainted with your office.

The weasel Was in here again.

Norman briggs.

Your hospital Administrator.

He wants to know

Why you haven't cut The office budget?

Because there's Nothing left to cut

Unless you want To work for free.

I practically do now.

I got a stack

Of messages On your desk

That's growing faster

Than the mold In your refrigerator.

I've got to double-check That I.V.

You've got some bills here too.

I need a leash for that man.

Excuse me. There was A hit-and-run victim

Brought in This afternoon.

Where can I find him?

( groaning )

What's the trouble, Father?

Terrible pain right there.

Came in here, Couldn't walk.

Take it easy.

You ever have this before?

Yes. Once.

Kidney stone. That's a little better now.

Do you have a regular doctor?

No.

Let's get you Admitted.

I'll give you something For pain.

We'll run tests

In the morning.

Oh, I don't want To be any trouble.

I think the sign says That's why we're here

And if it doesn't, It should.

Can you make it all right?

Yeah, I think so.

Who are you?

Are you god?

What is your name?

I used to know.

Where's alfred?

Take me to alfred, Please.

Okay, I'll tell you what.

You wait for him here, okay?

There she is.

Alice, we've been looking For you.

Oh, I have to wait here For alfred.

Code blue. Code blue.

I'll go.

Okay.

Come with me.

Come on.

I'll take you to see alfred.

Amanda: I'm so sorry, mark.

Sloan: Did you adjust the I.V.?

No.

Did anyone touch it Since I left?

Nobody's been in here.

Why do you ask?

I'm not sure.

Dad, come on.

Steve, I was In the operating room.

Everything else Was a mess

But his heart looked fine.

We've got our roles Reversed here.

I'm the homicide cop, And you're the doctor.

I think he died Of his injuries

You think he was murdered In the hospital.

His heart Shouldn't have killed him.

And there was something funny About that I.V.

When I left him, It was in there securely.

Last night, It had been loosened.

Which could have been caused By any number of things.

And there were No clear fingerprints.

My guy checked.

Isn't that five miles?

Almost.

Well, somebody tried to kill him With that car.

Right. We're looking For the driver.

What if that same somebody Snuck in the hospital?

Dad, security said nobody came In the hospital last night.

If I get some Real evidence

You'll check it for me, Won't you?

Dad, hold up for a minute, Will you, please?

What?

Notice anything Different about me?

No. Why?

I think I'm losing my hair.

Oh, gee, I don't think so.

I don't know.

It's looking awful thin.

You know, mom's brother earl Is totally bald.

Yeah. Could never Wear a hat.

And cousin harold.

And aunt edna.

Jack: I was getting alice's results Back from the lab.

Yeah?

You were right.

It's not alzheimer's.

Her thyroid function Is way down.

It could bring on The same symptoms.

How bad is it?

I put her on Thyroid medication

But if there's Brain damage...

Well, she may never Get her memory back

But she'll feel better.

Good work, jack.

Thanks.

Okay.

Next customer.

Where's father morrissey?

I signed him out At 6:00 this morning.

I told him To wait for you

But he seemed fine.

The stone passed During the night. Why?

Wait a minute.

He just bounced out of bed Just like that?

Yeah. He didn't want

To miss morning mass.

Get out of here.

Notes for his sermon?

Let's see his chart.

See, everything Checks out.

Oh...

Hi, norman.

Dr. Stone, a brief confab, If you don't mind.

Excuse me.

Admissions just told me

You admitted An n.X.F. Patient.

N.X...?

N.X.F.-- Non-existing funds.

Charity pro bono.

Weren't we tuned into The same channel about this?

I'm not sure What channel you're on.

I'm the lucky guy

Who's supposed to make This hospital run efficiently

So that everybody Is happy.

I can't do that When patients don't pay.

We're just running A few tests.

No tests.

The tests are ordered.

Okay, sloan.

Just discharge her

As soon as you can.

So, um...

Where's father morrissey?

You know him?

My parish priest.

You know anything About him?

Where he came from, His background?

You're not playing Detective again, are you?

Well, there are times

When all doctors Have to be detectives.

Not in my hospital.

Just where is father morrissey's Parish anyway?

Dr. Sloan.

Hello, father.

I wasn't expecting a house call.

Well, I wanted to do A follow-up.

Glad to see You're feeling better.

Oh, I guess I was lucky.

The stone just seemed To pass by itself.

I tried to wait for you At the hospital

But we're very busy here.

Still, you don't want To neglect your health.

Take your coat up And roll up your sleeve.

That won't Be necessary, doctor.

I feel fine.

Just doing My job, father.

It won't take a minute.

By the way, Did those pills help you?

Oh...

Yes.

Good.

I brought along a little Stronger prescription

Just in case there's Any residual pain.

I don't prescribe these For just anybody

But you must have

The constitution Of a rhinoceros.

What I gave you last night

Would have put most people out For ten hours.

What did you do? Wrote a sermon

Passed a stone, Woke up at dawn.

Well, I've always had A high tolerance

For medication.

Not to mention A high tolerance for pain.

You know, you really should Drop in for an I.V.P. Study

To see if that stone Caused any damage

And see if there's Any more stones.

Well, doctor

If I get a free moment

I certainly will stop by The hospital.

Well, your blood pressure's A little high.

You under Any particular stress?

We're all under stress, doctor.

Right.

Well...

Here's The prescription anyway

Just in case.

Thank you.

By the way, father

Last night, did you have Any occasion

To leave your room?

No.

Why?

That poor man That was in the post-op--

Where I found you--

He died last night.

Sorry to hear it.

I'll say a prayer for him.

You didn't happen To notice

Anybody suspicious Wandering around, did you?

As I said before, I never left my room.

Right, right.

The only thing is--

Confidentially, I think There was foul play involved.

Shocking.

Can you prove it?

No, no. Of course not.

Not now, anyway.

Well, see you, doctor.

I'm sorry.

You're the father. I'm the doctor.

Thank you, doctor.

Bless me, father, For I have sinned.

Father?

( in a hoarse voice: ) Yes, my son?

Are you all right, father?

Yes. Just a little hoarse, My son.

It's nothing.

Father, are you still there?

Um... What is troubling you

My son?

I've had some uncharitable Thoughts about this doctor--

Dr. Sloan.

Mm-hmm.

And, uh...

What troubles you About this dr. Sloan?

Everything.

Sometimes, I wish he'd roller-skate

In front of a truck.

Well, I don't know This dr. Sloan

But I understand he's a fine man And, uh... An excellent

Excellent doctor.

I'm quite sure That he tries

And he means well.

We should try to overlook

His eccentricities.

That's asking a lot, father.

Then say 500 hail marys.

5oo?! For what?

Whatever it takes

To make you appreciate dr. Sloan

And make A good act of contrition.

Act...

Thank you, father.

Don't mention it.

Hey!

Stop.

What are you doing?

What does it Look like I'm doing?

Always seems strange to me.

Hmm?

You and pathology.

I don't get it.

Well, like mark, I enjoy a good mystery.

Yeah?

Mm-hmm.

I like them better When they're still alive.

I saw enough stiffs In my old neighborhood.

Not all of us had the pleasure

Of growing up In a rough neighborhood.

That's true.

This one

I wish could talk.

You got no idea who he is?

Zero. Without prints, We may never know who he is.

I'll tell you One thing--

Very strange taste in tattoos.

Check it out.

Ah... What do you know?

You recognize it?

Oh, yeah.

I said get away!

What are you doing?

Come on, man. She's with me.

I'll catch you later.

Wait a minute.

You know that scum?

You wanted to come.

I didn't know It would be so much fun.

Any luck?

With what?

You know what.

Just tell me.

Yeah. Our corpse Has a name.

Mitch riley.

Turns out he was An ex-con from detroit

Who did 15 years For armed robbery.

You got all that From a tattoo?

That tattoo is the sign Of the golden cobra.

It's a brotherhood Of convicts--

Not a nice bunch of guys.

You actually know One of these people?

Actually, I know Two of them

But only one of them Is my cousin.

( playing ragtime )

Yeah.

I'm a little tired.

Okay, we'll have delores

Take you to your room.

Thank you, alfred.

Unless this woman has just Come into some inheritance

I thought we agreed She should be discharged.

She's been showing Some improvement

On this medication, Norman.

She's homeless. She's not hopeless.

There are Other professionals

For these kinds of people, Dr. Sloan.

Social workers, case workers.

We're a hospital

Not a shelter For the homeless.

Give me one more day.

Look, if she gets better, Think of the story:

"Hospital helps homeless Heal herself."

I like the headline.

All right, dr. Sloan.

You've got your day, But just one.

Norman, I appreciate You overlooking

My eccentricities.

I can't believe people Live like this.

You should get out More often.

Yeah.

Looks like Somebody's been here.

Mm. It smells too.

Amanda: Hey.

Looks like riley Has himself a girlfriend.

Hmm.

Ginger shaw.

Not bad.

Yeah, right.

( hissing )

( sniffing )

Ah, jack!

You okay?

Ohh...

I just can't Put it together.

But you believe A priest was involved.

I found him In riley's room

And he got in the hospital By pretending he was sick.

Why?

Maybe he burned Down the house.

To cover up any connection Between himself and riley?

Exactly. Why not?

Maybe. But what is The connection

Between an ex-con And this priest?

That's the next thing We got to find out.

We?

Yeah. Let me know

When you find the car That killed riley.

Yes, sir, chief.

Chief?

Somebody murdered my patient In my hospital.

Now, I'd like to know Who and why.

Call me when You find that car.

Okay. Look, you got to do Something for me.

What?

Remember that Little hair problem?

Is there anything That you can give me?

Male-pattern anxiety?

Come on. Relax.

I got you something for it.

The game and dinner.

We're having Delores's meat loaf.

We're both off.

Mark?

Oh, evidently, She's an exotic dancer.

Yes.

Here's the photographer's Name and number

Right there on the back.

Maybe he can tell you Where to find her.

If you find out, Let me know.

Okay.

But that's all.

Hey, there she is.

Wait here.

I thought we were Doing this together.

We are.

I'm going inside To talk to her

While you wait here.

I have been in These kinds of places before.

Oh, really?

Which country club Was that?

So it was a charity.

Big deal. Let's go.

What are you doing Up here?

Waiting for god.

Why are you doing that?

In case he comes for me.

Alfred, he was here before.

Didn't you see him?

No. I think it will be A long time

Before he comes for you.

Does he know your name?

I wish somebody did.

It's all right.

Let's go back downstairs.

Hi.

I'm not sure I should be giving you this

But we found the car That killed riley.

The killer abandoned it.

Oh. Did you trace The owner?

It's all in there.

Interesting.

Ooh, I got something for you.

Delores, where did you put That family album I brought in?

Oh, am I going To like this?

( laughing )

Is this really Your family album?

Thank you, delores.

'cause if those Are your relatives

I have just one question.

What?

Why didn't you go into Plastic surgery?

Okay, here's All the hairless people

You're so worried about.

Where's uncle earl?

There he is

But he caught a disease In the tropics.

Lost all his body hair.

Cousin harold?

A cue ball!

Professional wrestler-- Shaved his own head.

And aunt edna..?

Aunt edna... There.

Bad perm.

Bald.

Everybody else in the family

Has got A full head of hair.

Will you stop worrying?

Yeah, I guess so.

Did aunt edna's hair Ever grow back?

Oh, yeah, down to her waist.

Unfortunately, it started In the middle of her back.

Father, hope you don't mind My barging in like this again.

I am getting ready To say mass.

Well, I wanted To check your blood pressure

Just to make sure It's not elevated.

It will take a moment.

Okay.

You always arrive unannounced

Or am I getting Special treatment?

Oh, this is special Treatment, definitely.

Just give me that sleeve Right there.

That's good.

Father, you know

The fultons, don't you--

Ted and cami?

Of course.

They're members Of our congregation.

Their car was stolen The other night.

I didn't know.

It turns out That it was used

To run down that poor man Who died at the hospital.

Name was... Riley.

Mitch riley.

That mean anything to you?

Can't say that it does.

Should it?

Maybe there's somebody In your church

Who might have had A reason to kill riley.

You're asking very peculiar Questions, dr. Sloan.

What would make you think A hit-and-run driver

Would be a member Of our congregation?

Well, I'm not sure.

You see, riley was murdered During that mass.

Now, the fultons only live Two blocks away.

They walk to church.

Anybody who knows them Knows that.

What exactly Is your point, doctor?

Well, what if someone At your church

Ran out of the mass And stole that car?

They would have had time To get the car

Drive to The warehouse district

Run down riley, ditch the car

And get back to church Before mass was over.

That's very hard to imagine.

Well, I know it's possible.

Timed it myself.

Well, your blood pressure Is slightly elevated

And your pulse Is on the high side.

You sure you're not under Some kind of stress?

No more than you, doctor.

Well, you never know.

Course, I would ask you

If any of your regulars Missed mass that day

But you wouldn't know.

You weren't there.

Wasn't I?

No. Uh...

You asked father oliver To cover for you.

Oh, yes.

That is true.

Where were you, father?

I'm not sure I like that question, doctor.

I'm not sure I'd like the answer.

Anything else?

No. Not for now.

Would cut down On that salt, though.

( slow dance music playing )

Uh, excuse me.

Uh, you the owner?

Who's asking?

Mark sloan, medical consultant For the police department.

Murray swift.

Your central air conditioning Is made by breezeway, huh?

That's right.

We've had an outbreak Of conventioneer's disease.

They've traced the cause To defective breezeway units.

Conventioneer's disease?

Yeah, like legionnaire's, Only it's louder

And more contagious.

Uh, I'll need to do a test And an inspection.

I don't want To quarantine the club.

Whatever you say, doctor.

I'll have a look here.

Uh-huh.

( sniffing )

What's the verdict?

I'm not sure.

Think back carefully, Murray.

Has anybody reported Any loss of weight?

Weight?

Any excessive scaling Or peeling?

Uh, dizziness?

Nausea, loss of vision?

Not to my knowledge.

Well, that's a good sign.

Let me look At your eyes, murray.

Uh-huh. Uh...

Oh, dear.

That's very, very Interesting.

Look, I can't afford To close down.

Maybe I ought to make A random check

Of your employees.

You have a private room?

Sure, the dressing room.

It's right back there.

Well, why don't I start With the dancers?

Oh, yeah, you're fine.

Don't worry.

You're very healthy.

Next?

That's me.

Sit down, won't you?

Why don't you put This coat on?

Won't you be cold?

No. Actually, I'm a little warm right now.

Oh, excuse me just a moment.

I want to talk to you About mitch riley.

Hey, wait a minute.

I know who killed him, But I need help to prove it.

Look, I thought You were a doctor.

I am. I treated him.

I don't know Anything about it.

Hold it.

I can tell by these pictures That you two

Were very fond Of each other.

Am I right?

Then you should want To know who killed him.

I just don't want to get hurt, That's all.

I'll see That you don't.

Okay.

He was a decent guy.

Was there anybody Who had a reason to kill him?

All I know is That somebody

Owed him money, like a lot

And when he went to collect it, He was run down.

I never saw the driver.

Why didn't you call the police?

You, uh, promise You won't hate me if I tell you?

Of course, I do.

I thought I could get the money For myself.

Before he was run down...

Mitch said This was his insurance.

It guaranteed

He would get His money back.

I took it off his body.

I figured I could use it myself.

There's nothing in here.

Just a bunch of pictures Of mitch

And some guy Back in detroit

And some newspaper clipping About mitch's trial.

I don't know What to do with it.

Well, that's all right.

I do.

Inspiring sermon, father.

You again?

I've only got a moment.

I didn't come to take Your blood pressure

This time, father.

Or should I call you peter?

Excuse me?

You name was peter ingram When you left detroit.

You are seriously mistaken, Doctor.

David morrissey was A 19-year-old kid

With no family.

He died in vietnam.

You took his name

And his Social security number.

I think you'd better Be careful, doctor.

15 years ago, you and riley Robbed an armored car.

The guard was shot dead.

Now, riley got caught

But somehow, you got away With the money.

You changed your name And got into a seminary.

You've been hiding Behind that collar

For all these years.

Do you know What you're saying?

I know exactly What I'm saying.

Riley never fingered you

Because he wanted his share When he got out of prison.

It took him a long time, But he found you, didn't he?

You agreed to the payoff.

You told him Where to meet you.

Then you ran him down With fulton's car

But he survived.

You had to finish the job.

I think that you faked your way Into that hospital

Snuck into his room

And shot air into his vein Through that I.V.

Mission accomplished.

Oh, by the way

His girlfriend Drove him to meet you.

She had a couple of pictures Of the two of you together

Which, of course

I now have.

So?

So?

So you do.

I have the lord's work to do.

Good-bye, dr. Sloan.

I can't believe this.

We don't have enough

To turn over To the cops?

Oh, I gave everything to steve.

We can prove that he knew riley

In detroit.

We can't pin the robbery on him

And we have no evidence For the hit-and-run

Or the murder In the hospital.

He is going to get away with it.

Excuse me, gentlemen.

Alice isn't in her room again.

( sighing )

♪ every time it rains, It rains... ♪

♪ every time it rains, It rains... ♪

I want to sleep In the church.

I'm sorry, ma'am.

It's all locked up.

Why don't you try The shelter down the street?

It's you.

Excuse me?

Yes, my child.

Don't be afraid.

I'm not afraid with you.

He was a good man.

Yeah. You... You Sent him to heaven.
