( groaning )

Dr. Sloan.

He's right here, mark.

I think The bullet punctured

His abdominal aorta.

Left shoe.

Take it off.

Harlan, who shot you?

I didn't see them.

Monica, or wright, Or ridland--

They knew.

I heard a message On monica's machine.

Maybe they're In on it together.

Who was in on it?

Mark, it's a lottery ticket.

You take it.

You do something good With it.

Please.

We're losing him.

Oh...

Come on.

He's gone.

Call the police.

Captioning sponsored by Viacom productions and cbs

We found his car

In back of a private club Called the red gardenia.

Does anybody know What happened?

The busboy heard gunshots, Found harlan on the ground

Went to call an ambulance.

When he comes out, Harlan's gone.

How far is it from there To the hospital?

About a mile.

Then harlan Walked all the way.

I guess he wanted To see you badly.

How much is that ticket worth?

Amanda is checking.

You got a phone call.

Thanks.

How well did you know This harlan guy?

Gosh, he was My patient for years

And my friend too.

He married Some society woman

Named monica... Walters

And I kind of lost touch With him after that.

One of our units arrested a kid With harlan's wallet on him.

His name wasn't wright, Was it?

Or... Or ridland?

Uh-uh, someone Named stevens--

Jimmy stevens.

Stevens...

Dad, don't get That look. Okay?

I'll keep you posted.

Do, please.

See you.

All right.

Uh... Mark, I... Um...

I think I might know This jimmy stevens kid.

Really?

Yeah, but if it's Who I think it is...

He's been in trouble before, But he's no killer.

Jimmy, man, you got To do better than that.

Hey, look at me.

Understand this--

They're going To charge you with murder.

I'm telling you the truth, Jack.

I hear the shots, I go over

And this guy's on the ground Totally messed up.

I see the gun

I take that and his wallet And I split.

I'm telling you the truth, Jack, I swear.

What were you doing Behind the club?

I'm talking to you!

I was trying To bust into a car.

Lift the stereo or something.

Somebody going To get me a lawyer?

Yeah. The public defender Is on his way down here.

Did... Did you see anybody else?

Anybody that might Have shot this guy?

No.

Nobody.

I didn't smoke this guy.

I don't do that.

You know me.

Yeah, I know you, jimmy.

I'll talk to you Later, all right?

Hey...

Thanks for coming.

All right.

I know this kid Since he's born.

He didn't kill anybody.

You're sure?

I'm positive.

Okay.

I trust your judgment.

Hey, mark, I got to tell you.

If it wasn't for you getting Me into medical school

That could have been me Down there.

Buy me lunch And I'll call it even.

Deal.

See you in the cafeteria.

Mark!

Oh, hi, norman.

Maybe you can help me.

Rubber gloves Are disappearing.

Yes. From the supply room.

This is a big problem?

This kind of theft Can spread like a virus.

People around here Seem to like you.

You can help me find out

Who's behind this scam...

I am.

What?

I have been taking The missing gloves.

My students blow them up

For the kids in pediatrics.

See?

Why do you do that?

When kids are sick, And scared

They're very hard to treat.

Entertaining them is Very inexpensive therapy.

This is a breach of policy.

You know, dr. Sloan, I really try to like you

But you never make it Easy for me, do you?

( squeaking )

Mark.

I checked out Your lottery ticket.

You won-- I can't believe it--

$13 million.

Thir...

Yeah!

No wonder dale harlan Was murdered.

Don't say a word about this To anybody.

Absolutely not.

Dr. Sloan, is it true

A dying patient Gave you his ticket?

Yes, that's true.

What are you going To do with the money?

Sorry. No comment Right now.

No! We don't want any.

Where have you been?

This place has turned Into a zoo.

These are requests For donations

Get-rich-quick schemes, And 11 marriage proposals.

God help us.

Did they send All these flowers?

No, those are for me.

Thanks to you, I've got all

Of my ex-husband's Relatives

Coming out Of the woodwork.

( phone rings )

Dr. Sloan's office.

This isn't wheel of fortune. This is a doctor's office.

You get sick, Give us a call.

Newswoman: Tell us about This lottery ticket.

I thought this was supposed To be a secret.

Hey, I've got Some great news.

Oh, come on in.

( phone rings )

Dr. Sloan's office.

We're not buying any.

Oh, hello, mrs. Martinson.

Yes, yes, I know it's time For your yearly physical.

Okay, what do you got?

What do you think?

That's a boat.

120 feet, sleeps eight, Crew of three

All the latest Navigational gear

A steal At a million-four.

You too, huh?

That's not my money.

I promised harlan I'd do some good with it.

And you will.

You'll do Some good sailing

Some good fishing...

I don't think that's What he had in mind.

Well, it was worth a shot.

I guess we don't have To have a boat that big.

Dale harlan said That only three people

Even knew that he had That lottery ticket.

His wife, A guy named wright

And a man named ridland.

All the evidence says Jimmy stevens killed harlan.

I'm not sure about that.

When stevens was arrested

He was carrying The murder weapon

And harlan's wallet.

That sounds pretty Open and shut to me.

I got to go.

Dinner tonight.

All right.

Uh, on you.

We'll get a nice Little boat someday.

You're late for harlan's Memorial service.

What about the press?

We've got that worked out.

Briggs, wainwright here.

Mr. Wainwright. What a pleasure.

It's not often I receive a call From the chairman of the board.

What's going on With our fund-raising?

Well, we are admittedly off To an unseasonably slow start

But I assure you, sir, Once we get things rolling...

The board hired you To achieve our goals.

Why isn't this happening?

Why? Well, it's really Quite simple, sir.

I know that this year's goal Is to raise $6.2 million...

You promised me results

And I don't see any.

Mr. Wainwright, I pledged myself

To making the wainwright wing My first priority.

Where are you going To get the money?

Where? That's a good question, sir.

Can't you give me A straight answer?

What are you going to do About it, briggs?

It's as soon as done, sir.

Emergency! Get out of the way!

Hospital administrator at 1:00.

Where's dr. Sloan?

I can't get through To his office.

He's around somewhere.

( sneezing )

He's supposed to be dead.

Check his vital signs.

We're heading For a second opinion.

Mark... Mark, we really Have to get together.

I have Some very important projects

To discuss with you--

Projects that I think You're going to love.

I'll give you a call.

Will you Take it easy, jack?

Patience... Patience Is the better side of virtue.

Wait a sec. I saw you on television.

Yes.

You're dr. Sloan.

I'm larry wright.

You know that lottery ticket, It belongs to me.

What?

I'll be in touch.

Dr. Sloan.

Mrs. Harlan, We have never met

But I wanted to...

I want that lottery ticket.

I understand how upset...

Dale gambled away $500,000

Of my money.

He lost it to some crook Named ridland.

Dale did mention Ridland.

Who was that man?

That is larry wright.

He introduced Dale to gambling.

Ridland is after me To make good on dale's markers

And I will when you Give me that ticket.

But it was dale's dying wish It be given to charity.

Take a deep breath.

She'll be fine.

I am sorry.

That's the only time That ever happened.

Maybe you'd better See your physician.

Poor dr. Kelly died Six months ago.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Dr. Sloan, if I feel worse, May I call you?

Of course you may.

It's the least I could do.

Oh, thank you.

You are every bit the man Dale always said you were.

Need a ride, dr. Sloan?

Who are you?

I work for alex ridland.

He'd like To meet you.

Ridland. I'd like to... Meet him too.

Thank you for coming, Dr. Sloan.

I'm alex ridland.

Terrible what happened To dale, wasn't it?

Yes, it was.

I understand dale was A member of the club here.

He came here often to relax.

And, sometimes, Gamble.

Sometimes.

According To his wife, monica

He didn't exactly Break the bank here.

He owed me $497,000

Which he promised

He would pay me Out of his lottery winnings.

Dale told me how he wanted That money spent.

He didn't mention you, The club, or gambling debts.

That's an unfortunate Oversight.

I assure you, we discussed that The night he died.

I don't doubt that.

I don't think Dale was killed

By that kid They arrested though.

Oh?

Well, then who did it?

Well, wouldn't you think Somebody who knew

About that lottery ticket?

The evening that dale harlan Left my office

Mr. Landers and mr. Quill Were in a high stakes game.

Because of that, I didn't leave my office.

Anyone around here Can attest to that.

Well, I guess I have A genuine mystery on my hands.

I think you should pay Mr. Harlan's debt to me

Out of the lottery winnings.

That's the right thing to do.

Would you like to give Dr. Sloan another ride?

What?

Back to the hospital.

Oh, thank you.

Appreciate it.

I suppose larry wright Or monica

Could have waited Outside the club and shot him.

We better increase Mrs. Foster's medication.

Maybe ridland had some kind Of secret entrance.

So he could get In and out

Of his office Without being noticed.

What about eckstein?

Discharge him.

Tell him to stop smoking.

You mean like those Swinging walls in the movies?

Yeah.

My great uncle Was a bootlegger.

He had one of them.

It would be interesting To find out

If ridland has one.

Look at these numbers On mrs. Wilson.

Better take another culture.

One of the last things That harlan said before he died

Was that he heard a message From larry wright to monica

On monica's machine.

Now, there is a tape I'd like to hear.

Monica harlan?

What's wrong with her?

Her late doctor Was a colleague of mine.

That is the last checkup Report she has

And she's in perfect health.

I'll get it, shirley.

Why, dr. Sloan, What a nice surprise.

I, to tell you the truth, Have been a little concerned

About your fainting spell.

How have you been feeling, Mrs. Harlan?

Lonely.

Would you like a drink?

No, thank you.

May I ask when you had Your last checkup?

I've been a naughty girl, Doctor.

Not very recently.

Say...

What is it?

Do you have a room That's a little darker?

Maybe an office?

I'd just like To check your pupils.

Okay, just look at the wall Over there for a second.

Mm-hmm.

Is there a problem?

Well, let's hope not.

Let me take your pulse.

You can take Anything you like.

Uh, I'll take this one here.

Just breathe normally, Mrs. Harlan.

Well, that won't be easy.

How well do you know This larry wright?

Hardly at all. Why?

He seems to think

That lottery ticket Belongs to him.

That money Should go to me

But we can talk About that later.

Well, your pulse Is slightly elevated

But to tell you the truth

The resting pulse Is only half the picture.

I'd like to test you

After you've had Some strenuous activity.

Well, you're the doctor, doctor.

Why don't you run up and down Your staircase

Three times.

My staircase?

Or a treadmill At the hospital.

I hate hospitals.

You won't go away?

Of course not.

Monica, uh... This is larry.

Meet me tonight...

Oh, the hell with it.

( footsteps approaching )

You're back.

I'm exhausted.

Let's have a listen here.

Oh.

Thank you.

Your pulse is well within The normal range.

Of course, if you'd like To come in for a physical

I can arrange it.

Aren't you going To stay for lunch?

I wish I could

But I am also A teaching doctor

And I have a class waiting.

Maybe some other time.

Anytime at all, doctor.

Bye.

Bye.

You like pigs?

I don't know any.

Well, you're going to.

Somebody's sending you A pot-bellied pig.

Said it's the pet Of the future.

Tell them I don't want any.

Maybe the pig can Answer this mail.

I have to talk to you.

Come right in

Mr. Wright.

Actually, It's dr. Wright.

I'm a dentist.

What can I do for you?

Over the last three years

I loaned dale harlan Nearly a million dollars

To cover His gambling debts.

We were very close friends

And he assured me his wife Would cover his loans.

That I would be paid Substantial interest.

I have these signed notes

Right here.

Then why don't you go To mrs. Harlan and collect?

Actually, I don't Know her that well

And besides, her attorney says That dale forged her signature.

So these notes really Aren't legal anyway.

And I didn't have the ready cash That dale had promised

So I missed out

On a commodities deal Which would have netted me

Over ten million dollars.

So, you figure The 13 million is yours.

Yeah, right.

You add in the interest

Sure, I'd say so.

So, you have The lottery ticket

And the obligation To pay dale's debts.

Well, I'm afraid I don't See it that way, dr. Wright.

Oh.

Well, maybe you will...

Sloan.

Jack is on line two.

Jack, where are you?

At the red gardenia.

You're what?

I'll explain when you get here.

Dr. Sloan.

Mr. Ridland.

Want to test your luck?

I've got about Enough cash

To get out Of the parking lot.

Your marker's good here.

You're about To come into a fortune.

Well, seems to be My lucky week.

Why not.

Is 20 in credit enough?

More than enough.

There you go.

What's your game?

I'd like to try The blackjack.

Up there.

Jack, this is dr. Sloan.

You treat him well.

Yes, sir.

Good luck.

Thank you.

Jack, what are You doing here?

I had some time off.

The head dealer here Is a guy I know

From the old neighborhood.

Owes me a couple favors.

This could be Very dangerous.

Only if you Blow my cover.

Bet ten chips.

See those video cameras Behind me?

Yeah.

Ridland's going to see me Deal you seconds.

Is that good?

He calls me Into his office.

Boom, I get a look around.

Blackjack.

Promise me you won't Do anything foolish.

All you got to do Is let me look good.

How do I do that?

You just did.

How is clipping me for 20 bucks Going to impress ridland?

It wouldn't.

Try 20,000.

Ridland: Looks like benny's having A good night, doesn't it?

Landers: I think he's okay.

I think it's Going real well.

Mr. Ridland, You wanted to see me?

If there's a next time

You stay out of my office Until you're invited in.

Sure.

What's up?

You took Dr. Sloan down

That's from monica's Answering machine.

Either way, how are we Going to prove it?

Wright: You called me.

Monica: You egomaniacal creep, I cannot believe

You brought me again To this trashy dump.

I thought you liked this...

Dr. Sloan, what Are you doing here?

If it's not my temp.

Monica, I think the good doctor Sent us both phony messages.

You set us up?

Why?

Look, dale was killed Because of that lottery ticket.

Now, only you two and one other Person even knew he had it.

You think We killed dale?

Oh, my...

It was a reasonable Assumption

After listening To your answering machine

And finding out You have a relationship.

Relationship?

One night at the club, Dale and I argued.

I had way too much to drink.

This dentist picked me up In the parking lot.

By the time I came to my senses

I was in that room making The biggest mistake of my life.

If it was a mistake, Why did you do it again?

I was having a breakdown.

Amanda: So you aren't That close?

Not anymore, And we did not kill dale.

Then you wouldn't Mind telling us

Where you were When dale was murdered.

Yeah, well... We were... We were here.

The unfortunate night I referred to

Was the night That dale was murdered.

Yeah, and if you Don't believe us

You could ask the boy

Who brought us our dinner From the chinese restaurant.

You should be ashamed Of yourself.

I think I owe monica An apology.

Yeah.

Where is dr. Sloan?

Out.

When will he be in?

When he comes back.

It's imperative Sloan give this proposal

His undivided attention.

Fine. Put it On the proposal pile.

You don't understand.

This is vitally Important.

This is The wainwright wing.

Well, why didn't You say so?

"Top priority" read-outs Go there on my desk.

Thank you, delores.

You're welcome.

Come back here With my renoir!

Put that painting Down right now!

You...

Cowardly beast!

You cannot get Away with this!

Stop those men!

What's going on here?

Since mrs. Harlan refuses

To pay her husband's debt

Mr. Ridland's collecting.

You just can't Take her property.

You going to stop us?

Come back here!

Are you out of your mind?

If ridland thinks

That I am going To take this lying down

Then he is messing With the wrong muchacha.

Muchacha?

I checked out That chinese restaurant

And monica and wright Were definitely in the room.

So that leaves ridland

Who supposedly Was in his office.

There's a secret door In that office.

What are you looking at?

Harlan's car.

You notice it's parked Next to the club?

Amanda: What's that supposed To tell us?

I don't know yet.

Jack, how long before Ridland let's you deal

That big game upstairs?

Tonight, why?

Deal me in.

Dr. Sloan

Nice to see you.

Thanks for the chance To get my money back.

This is amanda bentley.

She's helping me get rid Of my lottery money.

I hope you like poker.

I love it.

I haven't played Since my premed days.

This ought to be fun.

Jack, you remember Dr. Sloan?

Good evening, sir.

You're playing too?

Oh, yeah.

Great, great.

All right, Young man

Give me The best you got.

Jack: Tough luck, sir.

Well, you show yours First, right?

Full house

Aces over kings.

Beats a full house.

( amanda giggling )

You... You mean to tell me I won again?

Boy, oh, boy, Am I hot tonight.

Isn't this great?

It sure is, baby.

( whistles )

I did not know That a flush beat a straight.

You want Some of these?

Maybe later, baby.

Ridland: Why don't we take a break?

Get some refreshments?

I could use a drink.

Waitress? Ginger ale All around here.

May I see you For a moment?

What the hell Is going on?

I told you to take him.

I'm setting him up So he doesn't catch on.

Sloan wouldn't catch on

If you dealt him Five jokers.

Come on. Shall we?

You got it.

Four kings.

Well

You are not going To believe this.

Four aces.

( amanda giggling )

I have always been lucky

But never Anything like this.

Sir, you missed one.

Oh, thank you.

Uh... Oh, look at the time.

That's it for me.

No, so soon?

The evening's just beginning.

Maybe for you.

I have to take out A gall bladder in six hours.

Patients get peeved

When surgeons fall asleep During their surgery.

Amanda: We'd like our winnings

If you don't mind.

If you'll wait here For a moment, doctor

I'll be right back.

You're not getting away With this, ridland.

Monica, there's been A misunderstanding.

Sloan!

You know, you're A very clever man, mr. Ridland--

Rigged poker games, Secret exits.

Look at this.

The paint on that door

Matches dale harlan's car.

What are you saying?

The night dale harlan Was murdered

He parked here, Next to the door

And went to your office.

When he left the office

You went out The secret exit

Came out that door, And shot him.

You searched him for that ticket And didn't find it

But you almost Got away with murder

If you hadn't dented Harlan's door

When you opened it.

Now, I'll bet you

That this paint will match When the police test it.

That's what I think.

What do you think?

I think you figured it out.

And...

Your luck just ran out.

I should tell you

That my son's A police officer.

Really? Congratulations.

Perhaps you'd like To meet him.

Hi. I'm the son, And you're under arrest.

You have the right To remain silent...

I know my rights.

I want my lawyer.

I guess congratulations Are in order.

Thank you.

Guess it's a good thing

I put a little paint On that door. Huh?

Well, it looks Like it worked.

Well, thanks to you two.

And it looks like Your day is not over yet.

Mark...

Go talk to that policeman.

What about?

Didn't I do what you said?

I arrived exactly at 10:30, I shot the place up...

Do you recall our discussion About using blanks?

That wouldn't have been As effective.

Now, tell him I want my gun back.

All right.

And call me.

I need to be examined.

Jack: Ahem.

Well, after all, I am a doctor.

Amanda: Yes.

Jack: Yes, you are.

It's a pleasure To present you

With this check For $13 million.

Thank you very much.

Look at all those zeros.

What will you do With the money?

Sloan: I'm donating it To community general hospital.

Yes! All right.

Lottery official: That's wonderful.

Sloan: I was looking At some proposed projects

And I noticed that something

Very important To the community was missing.

So, as a result, In the name

Of community General hospital

Ten fully-equipped Mobile medical clinics

Will serve the less affluent Parts of our community.

What?

And serving as our Community liaison

I'd like to present to you Mr. Jimmy stevens.

A fine young man.

All right, jimmy!

And who is this?
