For you to do Whatever it is you do.

But I also have A hospital to run here

If you know What I'm saying.

Mmm, no.

That memo I sent you

About the cost overruns On office supplies.

You never signed it.

Supplies-- I was Going to do that, norman.

We, we ran out Of pens.

It's a joke, norman.

I know.

I know, and very amusing

But here's how The cards lay out:

I was hired to whip This hospital Back into shape.

And the bottom line

Is the bottom line.

I need your support on this.

How's that?

Listen, amigo.

People around here Seem to look up to you.

So we scratch each other's back, We both feel good.

I'll try To remember that.

One more thing, mark.

I realize this Is a teaching hospital

Which means bands of students Roaming around

Learning, I suppose.

But could you ask them Not to smile so much?

Medicine Is a serious business.

It doesn't look good.

I'll go to work On it, norman.

What did briggs Say to you just now?

I'm not sure.

Well, the word On the floor

Is that he's talking about Firing the pediatric nurses.

That would be Terrible.

Well, I'm going To check it out

Before I take Any action.

Ac-- what kind Of action?

I'm the new head

Of the nurses' Grievance committee.

What nurses' Grievance committee?

The one I'm going To organize.

I'm the union Representative here

Don't forget.

How you doing?

Hey.

Listen, About that, uh...

That business we were Discussing the other day.

I looked into it

And I really don't think There's anything there.

Are you sure?

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I got my own sources, too.

Look, if you're Uncomfortable at the 15th

Ask greenwood To give you a transfer.

Otherwise I suggest That you just

Uh, put it Out of your mind.

Hey, ah, got to go.

You take care.

Mm-hmm.

Just what are you Done up as?

Steve and I are going To shoot some baskets.

I just put a ham in there And it better be consumed

Or I'm not going to waste Any more food on you.

What's the matter With you?

I got a call At home this morning.

Briggs fired Those five pediatric nurses.

Oh, it's got To be a mistake.

Well, it better be.

Look, go on, Go to the hoop.

I'm done here.

Thank you for the ham.

Sure.

All right.

You okay?

Yeah.

Want to talk About it?

( sighing )

Talk about what?

Whatever it is That's bothering you.

I'm just An open book to you

Aren't I?

What's happening?

Well, I've Been suspicious

Of a couple of detectives At the precinct.

I think they may be Committing burglaries.

Oh, serious accusation.

You talk to anybody At internal affairs?

That's just the problem.

Schroeder, The internal affairs guy

Just blew me off.

Didn't believe you.

I don't know.

I hate to sound paranoid

But I got a strong feeling Something's not right here.

Well, you don't trust This schroeder, huh?

Speak of the devil.

That's schroeder's number.

I'll be right back.

Go ahead.

Hey.

Hey!

Yeah, I know where that is.

I'll be there in about an hour.

Schroeder?

Schroeder?

( knocking at door )

Police!

Open up.

It's okay, I'm on the job.

Guys, I'm in homicide At the 15th.

My I.D.'s In my back pocket.

Check inside.

What's going on?

We had a report Of gunshots.

Gunshots?

I was out cold, I didn't hear a thing.

There's a body On the floor in the bathroom.

Looks like he's been shot.

Woman: That's him.

I saw him go in there

Just before I heard the shots.

Cole: Whatever you guys Want to do

Makes no difference to me.

Michaels: Might as well cancel The whole damn thing

I tell you.

I don't know who Took out schroeder

But it wasn't Part of the plan.

Maybe the plan Needed changing.

You did it?

No, and I don't want To know who did.

It doesn't Matter.

Pinning it on sloan Was a good idea.

Kills two birds With one stone.

How do we know You didn't do it?

Had just as much reason As the rest of us.

Well, whether we Like it or not

We're joined At the hip right now.

Nothing better Jeopardize this operation.

Mark: Even though everything's clear

You'll need something For pain.

That's no joke.

I can't believe How someone set me up.

I'm surprised greenwood

Let me go On my own recognizance.

He's known you A long time.

It looks bad, Though.

They say it was your gun That killed schroeder.

Did they also mention

That the money stolen From the evidence room

Was found in my locker?

I don't believe this.

You know it was one Of those four officers

Because any one had Access to your locker.

Yeah.

I better get To the precinct

And see the captain.

Why don't you Stay at my house?

What for?

Won't your place Be run amok with press?

Yeah, you're right.

Good idea, thanks.

Okay, see you later.

I forbid this meeting.

Fine, mr. Briggs, We're having it anyway.

What is going On here?

As the shop steward Of nurses' local 498

I'm informing Our hospital administrator

That our grievance committee Is meeting.

You're informed, I'm going.

Stop her before she foments A rebellion.

Norman, maybe you shouldn't Have fired those nurses.

I'm not firing, I'm downsizing.

All major corporations Are doing this.

Listen, amigo

A private word.

The board of directors Has made it clear.

Either I downsize The nursing staff

Or make cuts elsewhere.

What kind of cuts?

Close e.R.

Close neonatal.

Dump your elder life Program.

You're not serious.

Completely.

I am a man drowning In red ink.

Throw me A life preserver, sloan.

I'll do Better than that.

I will arrange A meeting

With local 498's Shop steward.

Delores?

No, I have difficulty Communicating with her.

Norman, Give her a chance.

You'll sit down at a table

You will reason together

You will work out A solution.

Do you think that she Will listen to reason?

Yes, I do.

Delores is a reasonable person

And it's her job To negotiate with you.

Besides, What is your alternative?

Chaos.

Rebellion.

Constant reports To the board.

All right, sloan, I'll do it.

Good, good.

Hey, mr. B.

Mark, listen, I heard What happened to steve.

If there's Anything I can do

Any way I could help out, You let me know, okay?

I'm going to look At the crime scene.

You want to come along?

Absolutely.

Great.

You really think

You're going to get away With this, vickers?

I don't know what You're talking about, sloan.

Like hell you don't.

Hey, hey, Hey, hey!

That's enough, Get back to work, now.

Sloan, in here.

For what it's worth, I don't think you did this.

Well, I appreciate That, ed.

But I'm suspended.

Until this is over, yes.

Well, it's not over.

Not by a long shot.

Hey, if you need help, You know where to find me.

You boys Got a warrant?

The crime scene is available To the defense, officer sloan

And you're supposed To be home.

Did you think

I'd sit back And do nothing?

I see he dragged You into this, too.

It wasn't hard To do.

Steve, what happened Here?

I got knocked out When I walked in.

When I came to, Schroeder was dead.

And they used Your gun?

And then stuck it back In my holster.

Did you find Anything?

No, I just Got here myself.

I found something.

I know this name.

T. Raffanti.

I went To school

With a Tommy raffanti.

Haven't seen him In years.

But I'll tell You something

He knew some Serious people.

Serious?

Oh, yeah, yeah, Serious.

Oh.

That's worth Checking out.

Somebody could have Come in and out this door

And the manager would Have never even noticed.

Steve?

In the bathroom.

What are you Looking for?

Just checking to see If anybody dropped anything.

Like they struggled For the gun.

You see Anything?

No.

Wait a minute.

What's this?

Is that Schroeder's?

He didn't have it on The last time I saw him.

And it's not mine.

Let me see that.

Look at that snap.

Like it's been stretched Almost to the breaking point.

Almost as if someone Yanked it off someone's wrist.

If we can find out Who was wearing this

We might just have our killer.

Jack: Man, that bracelet Didn't even come close

To fitting schroeder.

Now what do we Do with it?

Well, if it's Not schroeder's

It could have come off The wrist of the killer

And just maybe left an abrasion Or scratch of some kind.

Listen, I got derek Covering for me tomorrow.

Where you going?

I'm going to look up My old pal, tommy raffanti.

See if he knows anything.

Jack, I appreciate this.

And so does steve.

Forget about it, Mark, please.

If I was framed for murder, He'd help me, right?

I'll see you later.

And besides, it's not your fault Your son became a cop.

Some kids, they just Turn out bad, that's all.

What is all this?

I brought dinner.

Aw, barbecued meat By-products.

My friend, this is Going to be sauteed salmon

In a mild Beurre blanc sauce.

This is going To be rice pilaf.

Asparagus vinaigrette, huh?

Could you get The rice out of the oven?

Sure.

Mmm.

( pot smashing )

I can't believe I did that.

We don't need The rice anyway.

I am sorry.

Oh, man.

Get that.

What a mess.

Paper towels.

That bracelet didn't Fit schroeder, did it?

No.

Sure wish I knew

If it fit one of those Four detectives.

Somebody ought To talk to them.

Yeah.

Someone like you?

You can't argue With me this time.

None of those guys...

They're certainly not Going to talk to you.

Dad, I don't want you Taking chances.

I won't.

Tell me about them.

All right.

( sniffs )

Did you say Smoked salmon?

Oh, no.

Ooh!

That's good, good, Good, good, good, good.

Ah.

Okay, that's it.

How about some Barbecued meat By-products?

And asparagus Vinaigrette.

Ah.

We'll pair you off

And put you Through the course over there.

It was a tearoom when This was a department store.

Wear your goggles

Because even though The bullets are plastic

They can sting.

One, two, one...

We have an odd number.

Here's a partner now.

Oh, no, I'm Not a police officer.

Come on, dr. Sloan

You're the medical consultant To the department.

You'll do just fine.

I don't think I'm the kind of partner

You'd choose For this kind of work.

Now, the idea is There are two suspects

Hidden in this mock Warehouse somewhere.

Uh-huh.

We have to drop them Before they can get us.

I see.

Now you're armed And dangerous.

Well, I'm not much For guns

I have to tell you.

Well, there's just paint Inside of pellets.

Don't worry.

Too bad about your boy.

Once upon a time He was a pretty good cop.

Oh, he still is.

Well, I guess that depends On your point of view.

Somebody else shot schroeder And framed steve.

Can you prove that?

No, I can't.

But other people Had motives.

( grunting )

Oh, yeah?

You knew schroeder fairly well

Didn't you?

We worked in the same precinct

For a couple Of years.

You were in a narcotics unit That schroeder organized.

So what?

He cited you Repeatedly

For infractions of discipline.

He put so many black marks On your record

It cost you Any promotion, ever.

You like to play cop, hmm?

No, no.

I'm going To prove my son innocent

No matter what it takes.

Where were you

The night schroeder Was shot?

You're working overtime On this, doc.

Say, listen, that other guy's Around here somewhere.

Check over there.

( shoes squeaking )

I told you I wasn't very good.

If you're going To play being a detective

Perhaps you'd better learn.

Thanks for your advice.

Wait a second.

Is that yours?

I hate jewelry.

Oh.

Well, I guess I better Find out who it might belong to.

Hi, have you seen delores?

She's in Mr. Briggs' office.

Thank you.

Briggs: What is this, The bill of rights?

Delores: This is the grievance We have.

You're not being fair...

You cannot just come In here

And ask for Everything you want.

How is it going?

Is threatening to fire

Every nurse In this hospital Negotiating?

Is threatening To strike A compromise?

Hang on to This, mr. Briggs.

If my nurses walk

You'll be sliding that Under the patients yourself.

That woman is Jimmy hoffa in a dress.

Well, you got the issues Out in the open, norman.

I find you completely Responsible for this, sloan.

Not quite the kind Of negotiation I had in mind.

What do you say, gee?

How you been?

Josie.

Jack stewart.

What are you Doing here?

I was just over at delaney's.

Sounds like Old times, huh?

Except delaney's Isn't exactly

The place you Find doctors, hmm?

How'd you know I got Through medical school?

Uh, I kept track, you know.

And, besides, That's what you wanted

And, well, you always Get what you want.

Yeah, I wish.

You look good. How you doing?

Uh, I'm keeping busy, you know.

Yeah, good.

Well, you always Liked flowers, right?

So...

I like them a lot better

When someone Sends them to me, but...

Yeah.

Listen, you, um...

Ever see Tommy raffanti around?

He's still around. You looking for him?

Yeah, I got a...

A friend of mine has a problem

And I thought maybe Tommy could help.

Well, um...

Hey pal, Off the car.

Detective vickers, Isn't it?

Who are you?

Mark sloan.

Oh, yeah, steve's dad.

You're looking For me?

You never returned My messages.

I thought I'd catch you

As you go on duty.

I got a lot Of work to do.

I have To talk to you.

Get in.

So what Exactly is it

You want to talk To me about?

Steve did not Kill schroeder.

I am trying To find out who did.

Good for you.

Where are we going?

I got to clear up A little something.

So what do you Want from me?

Well, first of all

Where were you When schroeder was killed?

Well, that's none Of your business.

Look, I'm only Making it my business

Because my son's been Accused of that murder

And I think He's innocent.

Okay, madeline.

Where are they?

What do you Got for me?

Doc, give her 50 bucks.

Huh?

Come on, it's The price of admission.

Where are they?

Room 12.

Thanks.

I only got Three twenties here

Can I have a ten back?

I'll give it To you in trade, sugar.

No, keep the change.

Look, doc, will You get real?

Why would I want To kill schroeder?

Because he's had An affair with your wife.

Boy, you are pushing Your luck.

Look, you recognize this?

I've never worn One of those in my life.

Police, freeze.

Here, cover these guys.

Huh?

Where you going? Hey!

Don't do anything Foolish.

It would be better for you And better for me

If you just...

You better Stay together.

No, lookit, in just a minute...

Oh, boy.

Don't, I'm telling you.

What was That shot?

Well, these two separated, And I fired the gun.

I didn't mean to...

Give me that gun.

Can you give me A ride back?

You are taking a cab.

A cab?

Madeline, you remember me From in the lobby?

I gave you all my money.

Could you loan me $5.00 for a cab?

Get lost.

Maybe I'll have better luck

With cole and hughes.

You eliminated Two of them.

Least as far as That bracelet's concerned.

Can I get in here For a second?

I've only got The one bathroom.

So, what did Jack find out?

Well, The name he found

Could be A possible connection

Between schroeder And the mob.

Maybe that connection

Will lead us To the others.

You can cut Yourself like that.

Dad, I've been shaving For 20 years.

Has it been 20 years?

Boy, where Did time go?

It seemed like Yesterday

You needed a stool

Just to look Over the sink.

( imitating very old man: ) I used to bounce you on my knee

When you were just a little tot.

♪ in the long, long ago... ♪

Dad, why don't you go Put your teeth in?

Okay, where are they?

Hope the dog Didn't take them again.

Dog's been dead for 20 years.

Oh!

Detective cole?

That's me.

You're steve sloan's Dad, right?

How'd you know that?

I'm a terrific detective.

Besides, I saw you At the precinct.

Get in.

There's no front seat.

I know.

Get in the back.

Oh.

Where we going?

I have to get rated On precision driving.

There's no seat belt Back here.

No kidding.

Detective, do you know Someone named tommy raffanti?

No. Why, should I?

He had something to do With schroeder's death.

He was in on it With steve?

No, steve didn't do it.

Really?

Why don't we cut Through this?

What do you want?

Tell me about schroeder.

I barely knew him.

Weren't you In schroeder's narcotics squad?

That doesn't mean We were friends.

This is The pursuit test.

It might get bumpy.

Didn't he desert you In a drug raid?

So what?

Maybe you found An opportunity for revenge?

But I didn't.

Anything else?

Could I take You pulse?

Professional Curiosity.

Sure.

Actually, I prefer The other wrist.

Would you tell

Detective hughes I'd like to see him?

Why would he want To see you?

I found something In schroeder's apartment.

Might interest him.

Very good pulse.

Just another day

At the office?

That's right.

Can I help you?

I see who I'm looking for.

What do you say, tommy?

Jack.

I hear you're a doctor.

I'm impressed.

You're looking good.

Taking care of myself.

I hear you're looking for me.

Yeah, I am.

I got a friend of mine

Who has some trouble With the cops.

You're telling The wrong guy, jack.

Excuse me, mr. Raffanti.

A mr. Michaels Phoned.

He said 3:00 p.M. Would be fine.

Thanks, mitch.

What makes you think I could help you?

My friend tells me

You've got some juice

With a detective Named schroeder.

You could ask him To pull some strings.

Your friend's misinformed.

I don't know any cops.

Period.

For old time's sake, A little advice--

You don't need a friend With that kind of trouble

And getting involved Could be unhealthy.

You know What I mean.

Jack, what A surprise.

Yeah, I was just leaving.

Oh, yeah, you two

Used to Go out.

A long time ago.

I'll see you later.

Maybe we'll get together Sometime.

Yeah, real soon.

What was that all about?

Nothing.

Did you call For me, norman?

Sloan, do something.

The nurses are In the cafeteria

Taking a strike vote.

I'm sorry To hear that.

Sloan, talk to them.

They like you.

They'll listen to you.

I'll do my best, norman.

Thank you.

Delores: Listen up, everybody.

Word is, half of us Are getting fired.

Whoever is left will be Doing double duty.

Half lose their jobs

And the patients Get half the care.

Dr. Sloan

What are you Doing here?

Did mr. Briggs ask you To talk to us?

Yes.

Delores: Ain't he nothing?

Just a minute.

Just let me Say something.

I know you're all angry

But bottom-line truth is

This hospital's budget Has been cut.

Is this a hospital If the patients don't get

The care they need?

Can the patients Get care

If there aren't Enough nurses?

Are we going To accept this?

Are we going To stand for this?

Are you with us?

What are we Going to do?

Nurses: Strike!

Come on!

Wait a minute.

Mr. Briggs has a point.

Nurses: Strike! Strike! Strike!

Strike! Strike! Strike! Strike!

Strike! Strike! Strike!

Strike! Strike! Strike!

Oh.

Strike! Strike!

Strike! Strike! Strike! Strike!

We want to pick up The goods friday.

No problem.

You can pick it up 1:00 sharp.

Hey, you have The transportation

And storage facility?

We'll have it Secured by then.

All you got To concern yourself with

Is making sure The goods are there

When they're Supposed to be.

Looking for something, Detective hughes?

You're dr. Sloan, aren't you?

Vickers and michaels Told me about you.

Your friends Have been having fun

At my expense.

You wanted to see me?

Where were you When schroeder was killed?

Home.

Alone.

Tell me something, detective.

What are you up to?

Did schroeder figure it out?

Is that why he got killed?

You want to know Why schroeder was killed?

Ask your son.

That's how I found out About schroeder's private file.

What private file?

The one you're looking for.

The one with photographs

Of you And underage girls.

The one That schroeder's been using

To extort money from you.

The very existence of this

Gives you enough reason

To want To exterminate schroeder.

The girls never said They were minors.

Schroeder Covered it up

And then he Demanded money.

I hated schroeder's guts.

But I didn't kill him.

You see, dr. Sloan

If I was a killer

I could drop you And no one would know.

Except for the people I told I was coming here

To meet you.

Like I said

I'm not a killer.

Does this mean Anything to you?

Never seen it before.

Let me see your wrists.

My wrists?

Mm-hmm.

Why should I do that, Dr. Sloan?

Because you want this envelope.

Well?

Hmm.

If I have Any further questions

I'll get in touch.

You do that.

Who's there?

( grunting )
