Take care, darling.

You Weber?

Late.

That's your Heckler & Koch 94 .9mm automatic.

16 -inch detachable barrel, retractable stock.

Six pounds.

I don't get too many customers for this.

You like James Bond or something?

I'll toss in a loophole scope. You can take it home for a nickel, Mr. Webber. I

told him not to use my name.

Hey, sorry I forgot.

You want it?

If not, I got others.

And you've got a suppressor for it.

Now, the Blue Note proudly presents New York funny man, Harry Lennox.

Okay. Will the owner of a blue Chevy license number XLY -598 -762 -39949

move your car?

Your license plate is blocking the driveway.

Okay, how about this one?

The man goes to his doctor and tells him that he's in very bad shape and too

much romance with his wife.

He wants him to work and die.

The guy goes home and tells him...

Right where you said it would be.

Yes, I'm prepared. Does this mean that it's a go?

It'll be soon.

You'll be hearing from me.

And so will you.

Dr. Drummond, some of these patients have been waiting for more than an hour.

can't see anyone today, Lindsay. Make some excuse for me, but send them home,

okay? Sure, thanks.

Lindsay, schedule a breast adjustment for Mrs. Walton. Tell her my fee is

covered, but she'll be billed for everything else.

Now tell me what's going on inside your fevered brain.

Lloyd, I don't think I can do this anymore.

How many times do we have to go through this? If you're feeling burned out, take

some time off.

It's not that simple.

Look, Zack, you signed a binding contract with me. You can't just pull

because you've got a couple of problems.

Lloyd, I'm giving you fair warning.

No, I'm warning you.

If you break our contract, you'll regret it. I wish you hadn't said that.

Dr. Bentley, now would you be so kind as to tell our students what we have here?

Human livers.

And could you tell by looking at these x -rays which one is the unhealthy liver?

Well, these two appear to be slightly enlarged, but I couldn't reach any

conclusions, no.

All right, now I have a splendid pathologist like Dr. Bentley can't tell.

one of you can?

All right, here's the point.

There is actually only one person who can tell you the answer to that

Dr. Bentley, will you get the lights?

And that person is the patient himself.

So your prognosis isn't based on mystery. You've got to get your every

history.

Where does it ache? Your head, ears, feet? Take the blood pressure pulse.

it have a heartbeat?

I spent many years with stethoscope in hand, stimulating endocrine and

parathyroid glands. But to formulate a treatment, ask a few simple words. How

you feel? Where does it hurt?

You don't want to send the patient home for a rest, then call them in the

morning for another blood test. Any boob can hook you to a bunch of machines and

get some DNA to take a look at your genes. What we need is an accurate

of bursitis, pneumonia, or atherosclerosis to talk to the one who

the most. The poor sucker's sitting there getting diagnosed.

Okay, that's it for today, gang. How about tomorrow we try a little hip -hop,

maybe, huh?

Well, well, if it isn't the famous Dr.

Drummond. Hey, your material has certainly improved since I was a

How are you, Mark? Just great. I'm fine. How about you, Zach?

I'll survive.

Oh, this is Amanda Bentley, one of our residents. This is Dr.

Zachary Drummond.

Oh, of Stern and Drummond.

I've seen your ads.

There's no nose too big that we can't fix or something like that. Don't hold

against me.

Oh.

Once upon a time, Zach was one of my most dedicated students.

Until I decided to sell my soul and make a fortune in facelifts. He's never

forgiven me.

You got time for a cup of coffee? Yeah.

Oh, on that note, I've got to go do my rounds. It's nice meeting you.

Remember how bad the coffee used to be here?

It's worse.

Wasn't it Oscar Wilde who said that by 40 you get the face you deserve?

That's been money in the bank for me.

Do you mind if I put on my mentor cap for a minute?

You look terribly unhappy, Zachary. Can't hide it from you, can I?

How's Maggie?

I moved into the condo in town three months ago.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Mark, my whole life is an utter mess.

I shouldn't lay this on you, but I don't know who else to talk with about it.

I keep thinking about the days when I was a resident here.

All those impossible hours.

Lousy meals.

Somehow they don't seem so bad to me anymore.

Zach, you were one of the best surgeons I've ever seen.

So I didn't want to tell you what to do with your life. As I remembered, you

tried your damnedest to keep me here.

I should have listened.

I admire what you do, Mark.

Hanging in here on the front lines.

I'm sorry, Zack. No smoking.

Story of my life.

Too much of a bad thing.

Look, Zack.

Kate Hamilton still runs this place like a battleship. But I've got just enough

clout to bring somebody in on a full -time basis.

You feel like you want to practice some real medicine again? The door's always

open.

You mean that?

Absolutely.

You don't know how good it feels to hear that.

I'll call you.

Anytime.

Zach?

We got you a lighter. I'm always leaving this thing somewhere. Maybe I'm trying

to tell myself something. What do you think?

I think it should quit smoking.

Yeah, well, until I quit for good, I think I'll hang on to it.

The gift from Maggie.

You get me on here, and I'll give you a new nose on the house. Agreed.

Hey.

Oh, I think we can take Mr. Foster off antibiotics.

Okay. Sloan!

Oh, I've been looking everywhere for you. Listen. That isn't lunch.

It's a snack. Don't tell me how bad it is for me because I'm starving.

Now, you know how short of friends we've been for the New Bern Award?

I think I found us an angel.

J .D. Gantry.

You're going up?

J .D. Gantry. This is a familiar name.

Isn't he the president of Bank Express?

He's the CEO.

But he just happens to have an extra five million that he wants to give to

hospital.

Damn these elevators.

So, what do we have to do to thank Mr. Gantry?

Put automated teller machines in the lobby or something?

Sloan, don't give me a hard time about this one.

Damn.

Kate, I was joking.

Why are you so wired?

Are you okay?

Oh, I'm just... I'm harassed, that's all.

I mean, if I seem a little uptight, it's because I'm a little uptight.

Oh, heck, I can't wait.

About the patrons' dinner, I told him that you'd be guest speaker.

Hey. Hey, Kate.

I'm not a public speaker. I hate getting in front of people.

According to your students, you do a pretty good job.

Lecturing the medical students is a little different than addressing a sea

rich tuxedos.

Those tuxedos pay your salary, Doctor. I'm not in the mood to argue about this

when it's just too important for the hospital. You are talking, not rapping.

Talking.

Made it through another day.

Gin lesson.

Gin lesson.

Because he won the last couple of years.

Hello? Mark, did I wake you?

Isaac, no, it's all right. I have to get up and...

You all right?

I'm in trouble, Mark.

What kind of trouble?

Well, can we meet tomorrow and talk? I've got something I need to show you.

Well, I can come to your office.

No. I'll make a reservation for lunch for us at the Dorsey. You know the one?

The rooftop restaurant.

What, round one?

That's fine.

I'm sorry to call you so late.

It's all right, Zach. I told you to call any time when I really meant it.

Man.

Well say hi to the guys down the garage, you know, they're always happy to see

you doc. I'll bet thanks a lot Jimmy We

separate

maternity for the rest of the unit down here is where most the surgery is

performed the oars that sort of thing

The burn ward is at the far end. And I think when you see it, you'll see how

badly it needs expanding.

I'll take your word on that. But frankly, from what I've seen so far, I

money is going to be very well spent.

Well, I don't mean to blow our horn, but I don't believe there's a better run on

hospital in this whole city. We're professionals from top to bottom.

What?

Sorry.

Car trouble.

I would like you to meet our head of internal medicine, Dr.

Mark Swain. This is J .D. Gantry of Bank Express.

Hello, Doctor. It's a great pleasure. I've heard a lot about you.

Didn't know you were on wheels, though.

Well, great to meet you, Mr. Gansby. I spoke to you wondering why I'm on roller

skates. Well, you're probably in some kind of training for a competition or

something, huh?

Actually, my car broke down.

That's an ingenious... That's a great idea.

Maybe I ought to put you boys on those, huh?

If you'll excuse me, I'm due in surgery. The insurance company doesn't like my

patients starting without me.

You'll join us for lunch, won't you?

Kate tells me that the community general has the best institutional food in

town. On lunch, I'd like to, but... Come on, you'll join us. Mark usually

refuses to eat lunch, and I've told him how bad that is for him, so he's going

to change his mind today, isn't he?

Aren't you, Mark?

Well, it's settled, then. You're gone.

Would you mind if I show you some of the preliminary sketches of the burn ward

while we're having lunch? Excellent.

Where have you been? Do you know what... time it is you have a patient waiting

for you on the table.

Of course these

plans were drawn up before you were involved in it but I think they give you

idea.

You wouldn't object to having the ward named after you would you?

I'd be flattered but I wouldn't insist on it.

What would happen to that food?

Well that's all right we're we're in no rush here are we? No no.

No, not at all. Look, you stay here with Mr. Gantry. I'll be right back. Excuse

me.

She's a regular jumping bean, isn't she?

Kate? No, I think she's just a little overwhelmed by your generosity.

So am I sometimes.

Tell me, are Miss Hamilton, is she attached?

What, romantically?

No, not really.

I don't suppose you and she... Oh, no, no.

No, no, no. We're very, very, very good friends, but nothing like that, no.

Excellent.

Perhaps you could tell me a few things about her now.

What kind of flowers does she like?

Oh, gee.

Roses.

Yellow, I think.

Yellow.

Take the thorns off.

Here you go, sir.

Hold the elevator.

Thank you very much.

I hate elevator music.

Don't you?

Ow.

I cut my finger with a knife.

I'd never be a surgeon. All thumbs.

At least you came to the right place.

Let's have a look at that. No, it's nothing, Randy. Well, I know you never

be too careful. You know, these things can get pretty nasty if you don't take

good care of them right away.

Ah, excuse me a moment.

Wait, where are you going?

Ah, I'm going to go get a nurse.

Listen, it's been a pleasure meeting you, and I'll see you at the patrons'

dinner. Great.

I'm a medical advisor with the department.

What happened?

Jumper.

Zachary.

Dad, what in the world are you doing here?

I was supposed to have lunch with him, Steve.

Who is it?

Dr. Zachary Drummond.

We'll be at community.

Maggie, I'm sorry.

Oh.

Oh, I'm sure you did what you could.

I'll take you home. I can manage without your help. Maggie, I don't think...

Just stay away from me, Lloyd.

You've done enough.

She's taking it very badly.

So am I.

Call me if you need me.

Maggie, I'm afraid you have to sign a few papers.

That's okay.

I understand.

Where would I go?

Just today, Miss Oly.

I'm sorry, but I will give him the message.

Esther?

Esther?

How is he? He's been in there for over an hour.

Do you think he wants to talk?

No, but I think you ought to try.

It's me, Kate.

It's open.

You want to come in? Sure.

Hi. I just kind of stopped by to, you know, see if they're... if they're,

not very good at this.

Appreciate you coming by, Kate.

So, what are you thinking? That if you hadn't been late, you could have

prevented it?

No.

Had he been depressed?

Yeah, yeah, he was.

But I just can't bring myself to believe he killed himself.

Why is that?

Well, I was with him yesterday, Kate.

Way down, but he was making plans for the future.

Then he called me last night, woke me up about 3 o 'clock, said he had something

to show me. What could it have been?

Are you sure that's what he said? It was pretty early in the morning.

I thought that's what he said.

Well, what's the alternative?

That he didn't jump?

He was pushed?

I don't know what to think, Kate.

Except it was great of you to come by.

Well, if I don't keep you working, we don't make money.

By the way, when did you start eating candy?

When I decided to. Are you going to start that stuff about the diet again?

Not yet.

Better not.

Yeah. It didn't have anything on him.

Not to worry, it'll be taken care of.

I'm sure there's a perfectly reasonable explanation why you did this. Yeah,

well, uh, that's a picture of me at Mike Farina's wedding.

I was an usher.

Is there more to this explanation?

Well, the picture's a couple years old, but I thought you might want to see what

I look like in a tuxedo.

Jack, I'm not going to the benefit dinner with you.

Nothing personal. I know. You don't want to get involved with the doctor. You

understand. Yeah, but, uh, see, this is a formal dinner. It wouldn't be like a

date.

And besides that, I've already sprung for two tickets.

I'm sorry, Jack, but you shouldn't have.

Well, uh, I guess I'm reckless when it comes to you.

Look, even if I wanted to, I couldn't. I've got a conflict that night. Oh, I've

got to go.

Bye.

Don't forget your picture.

Thank you.

Amanda. Hmm?

Okay, Amanda, wait a minute.

This conflict.

It wouldn't happen to be a date.

Jack, don't make this awkward.

Why is Cicely Foster... She's got the hots for you. Cicely Foster snores.

She what?

I've heard from other people that she snores. It doesn't have to be... And you

are interested.

You're just being stubborn.

I have to go. I really have to go. You're being stubborn. I am not. What's

rush? The meeting marked Dorsey Hotel.

Dorsey Hotel. Isn't that where Zach Drummond jumped?

If he jumped.

Dad, don't do that.

Oh, sorry.

We having dinner tomorrow night?

That's the plan.

You know, see, whatever happened to that young psychologist, blonde, what was

her name?

Her name was Carol, as you very well know. Right. Whatever happened to her, I

like her.

She moved to Cleveland about a year ago. You sent her a Christmas card,

remember? Oh, right.

Look, Dad, I know you're just stalling to keep me up here, and you know I can't

stand height.

Sorry, sorry.

There is no reason to believe that Zachary didn't jump.

Just what do you expect to find?

Wish I knew.

What was he doing up here?

This part of the restaurant is only open in the summer.

Well, here come your junior crime stoppers. I heard that.

You get the coroner's report?

Yes. You know all about the massive internal injuries, yes?

All right, well, basically the coroner concludes that there are no injuries

inconsistent with the trauma of the fall.

i .e.

abrasions around the neck as if you were choked or knife wounds, that kind of

thing.

Can we go now?

Yeah, I suppose so.

Well, it's not a total loss.

Found a lighter.

Hey, that's Zach's lighter. He had it with him yesterday.

Dad, what does it prove?

Well, what is Zach's lighter doing way over there?

There's no sign of any cigarette butts anywhere.

Well, maybe he dropped it there deliberately.

As if you were trying to leave a clue?

Exactly like that.

We had a whole conversation about this later.

Wait a minute, Steve. Will you tell them that they're grasping at straws?

Jack, you are so literal.

Dad, I don't think we can hang much on this.

Steve, Zach said he had something to show me. He didn't have anything unusual

him.

Maybe he was afraid to bring it.

Steve, let me go through Zach's condo.

Dad, I don't have the right to go in there without a warrant.

And I can't get one with that lighter.

I'm sorry.

Well, I understand. I guess I am being a little over.

Reactive. I gotta get back to work. I'll see you later. Okay, thanks.

You know, it really is a nice view up here.

Now what?

Now we go through Zach's condo.

He just said he couldn't get a warrant.

Come on, you guys, leave it alone.

Hmm. I didn't say anything about getting a warrant.

Did you say anything about a warrant?

Not me.

Well, that makes it unanimous. Hmm.

I'm really surprised that Jack didn't knock her to hell.

Where he comes from, breaking and entering is a way of life.

But he didn't like that way of life.

But still, this is for a good cause.

It'd be nothing for him to get into here.

He's probably still angry with me that I won't go to the banquet with him.

You know, I want to try an old trick that I used to use when I was still on

magazines to put myself through college.

No one hung.

Who is it?

Uh, it's me.

Well, it's about time.

Top salesman for years in a row.

What number is it?

Sixty -eight.

I think that's probably it down there. Wait here, I'll check.

Me? Yeah, you. I'm talking to you. Come here.

Come here, come here, come here. Oh, I think you've mistaken me for somebody

else. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're the guy.

You're the guy. Come on. Inside.

Inside. Inside, inside, inside.

You're late.

What? I thought you said they were sinning and obeyed the sin.

Yeah. Sing? Hey, wait a minute. All right. See, this here's my buddy Vinny's

birthday. Understand?

And I've been sitting here with my thumb in my ear waiting for my singing

telegraph. So I don't want to hear no recitation.

Understand? I want to hear you sing.

All right? I got that?

All right. And Vinnie better like it. All right.

Well, who's the birthday boy?

It's my birthday.

You got a problem with that?

No, not for a minute.

Don't look at it here, but we got this for you, Vinnie, as a surprise.

Happy birthday.

Go for it.

Oh, Vinnie boy.

The pipes, the pipes are calling from glen to glen

and down the mountainside.

The summer's gone and all the roses falling.

Tis you, tis you must go when I'm gone.

So.

What happened to you?

Don't ask

me it's only me it's only me it's okay it's okay it's okay you didn't have to

terrify me i didn't mean to terrify you i just was afraid you were gonna scream

or yell i never how did you get in here somebody jimmy opened the back gate so i

just walked in what

do you think i

think we should leave i can pop it if you like i'd like it

Okay, now just wait here in case whoever came in the back is still in there.

Come on in. Looks like the party's over.

Someone just went out the door.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

You know, I just saved your life. Now you've got to go to that dinner with me.

Jack, can we talk about this some other time, please?

Excuse me.

Did anybody ID the car?

Um... It was a mid -sized blue or gray or something? There was some sort of

decal on the back bumper. I would have seen more, but I was being yanked around

at the time.

You know...

Why do I keep chasing after a girl whose sole ambition in life is to be a

coroner?

Because you're sick, Jack.

I'll knock for two.

All I know about your luck is you didn't get it from me.

C -8, 6, 5, 27, minus your 2, 25.

Next one of us gents goes out.

You know, my guess is that Zach was thrown off the roof by whoever

his apartment.

Thrown off the roof?

Where's your eyewitness?

And the burglary?

Places get burglarized all the time after someone dies.

Well, it's quite a coincidence, though.

Besides, who had the motive to kill Drummond?

I don't know yet.

Maybe Lloyd Stern, his partner.

Maybe Maggie, his wife.

Maybe doesn't quite do it.

You're wrong about this one, Steve.

Well, that's always a possibility.

Gin.

Gin? Yeah.

I get to win every generation or so, don't I?

So, will you look into this one for me?

Dad, are you sure you don't want this to be a murder?

You mean, get myself off the hook?

Well, yeah, like that.

I'd hate to think I'd failed him.

Look, if I can find a solid reason to get on this case, I will. I promise.

Fair enough.

Let me ask you a question.

Did you take on me just now?

Not at these prices.

Oh, Dr.

Sloan. Yes. Can I ask you advice about something? Certainly. I'm taking Kate to

the dinner.

and I thought it'd be nice to offer her a piece of jewelry for the occasion.

Do you know whether she prefers bracelets or would a pen be something

like? Gee, I really don't know.

So you don't know whether she likes diamonds or sapphires either?

Actually, the subject never came up.

That's all right. I'll have to muddle through.

Flowers for me. From an admiring patient, the AMA, or the President's

Physical Fitness?

They're for Dr.

Bentley. Looks like somebody's sweet on her.

Jack? Yeah.

Mark. I need a favor.

Could you go back to Zach's condo with Amanda and... Look around some more

I'm at the funeral.

Sure. What am I looking for?

Well, I did everything and anything.

Looked through bank records, insurance policies, contracts, whatever.

See, Zach wanted to show me something.

And it must be whatever the burglar's looking for.

Maybe he didn't find it.

I don't want Amanda there alone in case he comes back.

Okay.

Not much to go on, but it must have been important.

And not just to Zachary. Okay.

Oh, Esther told me...

Amanda got flowers. Beautiful.

Yeah, they're nice, aren't they? Where'd they come from?

Huh?

Well, I noticed you had the card in your hand.

Oh, yeah. Well, I was just, you know, I fell in the forest, put it back.

I didn't leave walking.

Thanks for the help. Sure.

The Lord is my shepherd.

I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.

He leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul.

He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his namesake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no

evil, for thou art with me.

Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies.

Thou anointest my head with oil.

My cup runneth over.

Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will

dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

All right.

Yeah, thanks.

And nothing.

Well, I found Drummond's appointment book, some financial records.

Here's his insurance policy.

Interesting.

So, uh, who are you on the phone with?

Never mind.

None of my business.

You've got your own life to live.

I don't care who sent you flowers.

To satisfy your morbid curiosity, I was talking with a small rental agency.

A, uh, pyramid car rental.

There was one thing about that car.

A torn sticker on the rear bumper.

I couldn't quite make it out, but it seemed to be in the shape of a triangle.

So, this morning I was thinking... Pyramid car rentals.

Exactly. Our burglar damaged his car, so he may just turn it in so that he

doesn't have to be seen driving it around.

I'll go by the office and check it out.

You can stay here and sift through all the stuff.

I'm not going to sift through this. I'll go with him.

Why is Maggie so angry with you?

You know, I'm really not sure.

Well, she must have a reason.

Well, Zach was totally committed to his work and to our practice.

It was his idea to expand the clinic and bring in some partners.

I think Maggie began to feel shut out and blame me.

But she acts like you're somehow responsible for his death.

Maybe it's her way of dealing with the pain.

I saw you at the hospital.

Zachary and I were close friends.

Do you agree he didn't deserve to die like that?

Look, I don't know you, and I don't know what you're talking about.

Please, just leave me alone.

Miss, my name is Mark Sloan. If you ever want to talk to me about all of this, I

can be reached at Community General.

By the way, I miss him too.

positive that it was one of your cars that hit mine.

I'm sure you think so, but we haven't had any reports of any accidents

one of our cars.

Come on.

How'd it go?

Dental surgery.

I was thinking on the way back, maybe we could stop and get something to eat.

If that's not too big of a commitment for you, we could even go to that

Mongolian barbecue you're always talking about.

I wonder what Mongolian barbecue anyway.

Jack, look.

What? I think that's it. I think that's the car.

You're kidding.

No.

This looks delicious.

It looks like it Look

he's parked at a hotel downtown

Have you thought about what you're gonna do?

No, not really If there's anything I can do to help. Thanks, Mark.

I appreciate that.

What about your share of the partnership? There's Stern being

Well, we weren't exactly on speaking terms before this happened.

I think he had a lot to do with Zach's depression.

As far as I'm concerned, he's a snake.

A money grubber.

Other than that, a great guy.

A prince.

I think I'll let my lawyers deal with him.

Maybe this isn't the time.

Maggie, I don't think Zach committed suicide, and I don't think it was an

accident.

What are you saying, that he was murdered?

I think there's a very real possibility.

Mark, why are you saying this? I really don't want to hear this.

What if there's a chance he was?

Wouldn't you want to know?

What about life insurance?

Zach left a million -dollar policy, but it won't pay off with suicide.

But it would if it was murder.

I don't care about the money.

It was suicide.

And that's the end of it.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I really have to go.

Sorry if I upset you, Max.

You call Mark. I'll be in the bar.

All right. Just be careful, okay?

Can I get you something?

Uh, mineral water, please, with a lime. Sure.

I hate to see a beautiful woman drinking alone. It just ruins my whole day.

Would you mind if I joined you?

Um, well, I'm waiting for someone.

Uh, but sure.

Thank you.

My name's John Harwood.

Amanda Bentley.

Like the car.

You ever driven one?

No, no, I can't say that I have. Oh, I have.

I could drive one for hours.

Yep.

Dr. Mark Sloan, could you page him again, please?

Yes, I'll wait.

Operator, could you please hurry?

Look a bit tense.

Well, I don't usually do this sort of thing.

I can't imagine how you talked me into coming up here.

I hope you don't get the wrong idea.

So, where are the pictures of those cars with my name on them? Well, first

things first.

I prefer mine neat. Do you have a preference?

On the rocks would be great, if it's no trouble.

It's no trouble at all.

I'll be right back.

Hi, yes, there's a Mr. Jack Parker down in the lobby.

Could you please tell him that Amanda is in room 2112?

That's right.

Thank you.

Over here.

Amanda just paced me. She's upstairs with him. With him? Yeah. I already

him. He's on his way.

What are you doing in here?

Just freshening up

You know, you look familiar to me.

People say that all the time. I guess I must look like a lot of people.

You know, I really should go.

That friend that I told you I was meeting downstairs, he's going to be

with me.

I can look at the car brochures another time.

Amanda, you've barely gotten to know each other.

Aren't you the least bit curious about who I am?

No. No, I don't think so.

Well, I'm curious about you.

Room service.

I didn't order anything.

Where would you like me to put this?

Over by the window. Of course.

I didn't order anything from room service.

Well, sir, I have the order right here.

You ordered the lobster bisque, green salad, artichoke stuffed with shrimp.

tarragon chicken breast sautéed in a butter wine sauce with peppercorn

Very good choice. One of our chef's specialties. And then we have the steak

tartare, the Dover sole with capers. I'll see you later.

Amanda. Peel piccata with ricotta on the side. A chef's salad.

Two iced teas. One glass of Chardonnay. Three mineral waters. You know, this is

for six. Are you sure this is 21 -21?

This is 21 -12.

Oh, no wonder.

Me and my dyslexia. I'm so very sorry, sir.

If you'd like some wine, sir, just dial 3 -4.

Is that 4 -3?

Mark, right here.

Have you taken leave of your senses? He could be a murderer.

Mark, I think he is.

I found this in his drawer beneath photos of Drummond.

He's my father. What the hell are you doing?

Steve, the man you want is up in... 2112.

Dad, what man?

The man who killed Zach.

He better be.

Get backup. Come on.

I don't want you three going anywhere.

Dr. Sloan?

Yes. I was hoping to run into you. I've been reviewing the plans for the new

wing. It's going to be outstanding.

I'm having my decorator do sketches.

It's getting pretty darn exciting.

Sounds wonderful.

I wonder if you'd take a look at this and tell me what you think.

That's beautiful.

She'll love it.

That's all I wanted to hear.

Thanks for the help.

Just make your way around. I've got to go.

I took the liberty of drafting your speech for you on your desk. And if you

don't have a talk, I can bring a tailor over here. Are you not getting a little

obsessive about this?

Well, I don't think so.

I mean, in case you've forgotten, you have some priorities and duties to this

hospital, Doctor.

I mean, it's bad enough that you run off whenever you want to, but now you have

your residents doing the same thing.

I think you've got to stop this. Kate, what are you getting so upset about? I

don't want to argue the point. Whoa, slow down a minute.

You know, you haven't been yourself lately. Don't you change the subject.

Someone around here has to make sure that this hospital runs in a normal way.

And for better or for worse, I happen to be that person.

Your speech. It's on your desk.

Hi.

What's happening?

I ran the prints off the gun. They match up with a Lyman Weber.

Feds say he's a hitter. I ID'd Weber off a photo they fact -checked.

Well, then all we have to do is find out who hired him.

We don't have to do anything.

I've got an APB out on him. I'll keep you posted.

Okay. We'll see you later.

You do have something else to do, don't you?

We're swamped here.

See, we'll have lunch.

Look, if Kate Hamilton's come looking for me, tell her that I went to buy a...

That cummerbund. Right.

Thank you, Kate.

I never thought of myself as a prize.

I'm here to see Dr.

Stern.

I'm Dr. Mark Sloan. I don't have an appointment.

I'll tell him you're here. Thank you.

Dr. Mark Sloan, I see you.

Hello, Mark. I didn't expect to see you here.

We were just going through the settlement of Zach's accounts.

I would have thought you needed an accountant for that.

You know how complicated that can get.

Well, I have to go.

Just send the papers to my lawyer's office.

I'm glad to see you two made up. No point being at odds.

My thought exactly.

You know what?

You do great work.

I could do a few things for you, too.

Yeah?

You want to look 15 years younger? Touch of a button.

This is amazing.

I always wondered how you guys work.

How about a different nose?

Roman pug?

This is what I use for laughs.

Oh, thanks a lot. Good enough laughs as it is.

Tell me the truth, doctor. I bet there's something you'd change about yourself

if you could.

No.

No, look, I spent a lot of time breaking this face in. It's not great, but I'm

used to it. Well, you're the one true exception.

You know, if you were to give me some referrals, I'm sure we'd come to a very

nice fee situation.

Oh, thanks, but all my work is interior.

Well, think about it.

The road to riches is paved with vanity.

Zachary used to say that.

It's a pity he couldn't hold on to his money.

You think he killed himself over money problems?

And his marriage.

It's a shame I couldn't help him. We were a great team.

Why do you suppose he wanted to dissolve the partnership?

He told you that?

No. One of my associates... Found this in his papers. He had this letter of

dissolution drafted.

I had no idea.

Poor Zack.

Yes, poor Zack.

Breaking up this clinic would have cost you quite a bit, wouldn't it?

What do you mean by that?

Well, it just occurred to me that you had quite a lot to gain.

You see, I think it was murder.

And I think we've spoken long enough.

Shut the door on your way out, if you don't mind.

Yes, what is it?

I'll make that decision.

The house on Sycamore Street?

Okay, okay, Webber, I'll be right over.

After I've removed Mrs. Berger's stitches, I'm going to release Miss

Yes, Doctor. I need her room for a post -op patient checking in tomorrow

morning. Very good, Doctor. I'll take care of it.

Are you one of the doctors?

Uh, yes.

Where's Dr. Stern?

I think he's upstairs.

Oh, well, I wanted to go. I just wanted him to take a look.

Would you mind?

No, I don't think I should. You're a doctor, aren't you? Oh, yes.

Well, then, what's the problem?

Well, there you are.

So, Doc, what do you think?

I don't see a problem.

You look the same size?

Absolutely. Oh, then there isn't any reason why I can't go?

It's not a good idea to me.

Be on the safe side. I gave him a sedative before you arrived.

Did the police question you about the late Dr. Drummond? Mm -hmm.

They seem to be satisfied.

There's only one person poking around.

It's one of Zachary's old teachers, Mark Sloan.

He's a doctor of community general.

What does he look like?

Well, he has tall, white hair, mustache. Why? It's my business to know.

Very good, Dr. Stein.

How did you get it to heal so rapidly?

Well, I have been working on this project for a considerable amount of

You should be very proud.

Yes, I am. Thank you.

Mark. Mark.

I went through all the bank statements, just like you told me.

Look what I found tucked in.

Oh, looks like he was having trouble paying back the loan.

Then three weeks ago, out of nowhere, boom, it's paid off.

But I can't find it anywhere in his check stubs.

And look at the name at the bottom of the letter.

Justine Whitaker.

That's Drummond's girlfriend.

How do you know that?

Because I found this picture in his desk drawer.

Love, Justine, but what do you know?

Oh, good work, Jack. I think you found something.

It's my policy to refrain from offering advice about things like this, but...

So that's him, huh?

Not now, Jack. Listen, Amanda.

Amanda, I'm sorry.

I just want you to know that I do understand. And I know it's none of my

business, but, you know, you give it some time.

You'll get over it.

Besides, he's too old for you anyway.

For your information, he wasn't my boyfriend.

He's my father.

private practice.

He came by just now to tell me that he'd finance the whole deal if I disagreed

to leave here.

But I told him that I wouldn't, and I didn't appreciate him dictating to me

to do with my life. Even you can understand that, can't you, Jack?

Stupid.

Oh, my goodness.

I'm sorry I didn't mean to startle you.

I'm John Harwood of Crosswell Pharmaceuticals. Is Dr.

Sloan in?

No, he's just out on his rounds. Why don't you have a seat over there and

be right back.

Thank you very much.

But you're not supposed to wait in here.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I came back to tell you that I forgot Dr. Sloan went to the bank. And I can

up an appointment for you.

That's all right.

I'll catch up with him later.

Nosy.

Esther.

Yeah.

man that was just here.

What did he want? To see the doctor.

Who was he?

A nosy pharmaceutical salesman.

They said you needed help with the loan.

Boy, I thought insurance weren't complicated, but they don't compare with

loan applications.

What are you doing here?

Well, I felt as long as J .D. Gantry was donating so much money to our burn

ward, I owed it to him to take out a loan in his bank. How did you find me?

It's simple, really.

We were listed in Zach's address book.

Miss Whitaker, does Zach ever talk about his business problems?

We're to process your application, Mr. Sloan. We'll need your last two tax

returns in the current P &L.

Surely you knew Zach was defaulting on his loan.

I don't know why.

If someone wanted to clear an account, it would be simple, wouldn't it, for

someone who knew how?

Press a couple of buttons, I imagine.

That would be illegal.

He broke up with you, didn't he? What makes you say that?

Well, for one thing, your photo was out of the frame and put in the drawer.

And then I found an empty bedroom closet full of women's hangers, you know, the

pink ones, padded.

Look, my only question is...

Were you angry enough to kill him?

Zack killed himself.

I think he had to help.

So did the police.

Look, I loved Zack.

There were many times I wish I'd never met him, but that doesn't mean that I

would ever do anything to hurt him.

Now, you can believe that or not, Mr. Sloan, I don't much care.

So please, just leave me alone.

Maybe you didn't, but somebody arranged it.

I want to find out who had him killed.

I owe it to him.

I think you do, too.

We'll contact you if the bank needs any more information.

Thank you for your help.

You're getting pretty good at this.

Bill, I'm getting a lot of practice.

Is it possible to see you without an appointment, Doctor?

I'll deal with it.

You were right, you know.

It is very simple to change a loan record.

The first time after Zachary asked me to do it, I couldn't sleep for days.

Every time the phone would ring or somebody came to my desk, I thought,

it, I was caught.

But I wasn't.

And the second time it was easier, just like they say.

I didn't kill Zachary.

You have to believe me.

What else can you tell me?

Zach was in trouble.

He was involved in something.

Personal, professional?

Professional.

Have something to do with Dr.

Stern? Oh, definitely.

And a man with an odd name.

Lennox. I can't remember his first name. I think it started with an H. H.

Lennox. Lennox?

Anyways, I've got to get back.

I want to thank you for doing what you're doing.

Justine.

Thank you.

Lennox H.

How do you do?

Excuse me, ma 'am.

Does Mr. Lennox live here?

He did.

And two weeks ago, he took off. Owed me two months' rent.

Any idea where he went?

I wish I knew.

Mind if I have a look around?

Help yourself.

I'll introduce you to Pedro.

Pedro?

That's the last time I'll rent to a comedian.

I can only stay here a second. I've got to find Jack and Amanda.

You've got a parrot on your shoulder. Yes, I know. His name is Pedro.

And I promised to find him a home.

Doctor, I can't deal with a bird. Be very nice to him. He's been neglected.

I'll see you soon.

Ben wanted me to stay at home, too.

But the family business was, to put it mildly, illegal.

As much as I hated what he did.

Very hard to turn my back on him. So I know what you've been going through has

been kind of tough. And if I made it any tougher, I'm very sorry.

There's my apology.

That's Jack.

As far as what I said yesterday... No, you were right, and I deserved it. No.

No, you didn't.

You were just a convenient substitute.

That's me.

Hey, um... Are you still up for escorting me to the

patrons' dinner?

I mean, we're both going anyway, right?

Right you are.

Bye, dear.

I need you both to do a paper chase on Harry Lennox.

Death certificate, hospital records, insurance claims.

Did he leave a forwarding address?

Did he renew his driver's license?

You know, basically... Everything and anything. Right. How far back do you

to search?

Until you find something good. Uh -huh.

Where are they going?

I want you at the staff meeting.

Well, I have something to take care of.

But that's not an excuse.

Kate, you look terrible. I'm okay. I feel okay.

I'm okay.

You better sit down, Kate.

I feel so strange.

Nurse?

Nurse?

Any luck with Lennox?

Nada. I've checked every hospital in town. There's no record of him.

Probably a good reason for it.

Feast your eyes on this.

Coroner's office faxed it over.

Harry Lennon's death certificate.

Mm -hmm.

Signed by one Lloyd Stern.

Since when does a plastic surgeon sign death certificates?

Well, medically speaking, you passed out cold.

Rhythmia of the heart, I expect.

Look, tell me this way you've been feeling lately.

Restless. We know you're irritable.

But overheated.

Not sleeping well.

You're eating a lot, but you're still losing weight.

Don't you know you're not going to tell me that I'm burning out?

I can't quit this job. No, I don't think you're going to have to do that. Look,

watch this pencil. Just follow it with your eyes.

Watch it.

You know you're not a machine, Kate.

You're just human like the rest of us. Good, now back the other way.

What you're experiencing is just your body warning you that something is a

little wrong.

Good, good.

And I'll bet you five million dollars of J .D. Gantries that you've got an

overactive thyroid.

Hyperthyroidism.

Is it, uh, I mean, it's correctable. No, we give you some tests and give you

some medicine to control the thyroid, that's all.

Unfortunately, you'll be back to normal in no time.

Just relax. The doctors shall be in to see you in a few minutes. Thank you.

Maggie, you'll get your money.

Well, it better be soon, Lloyd.

If Harry Lennox has been dead for two weeks, then why is Lloyd Stern still

giving him medication?

I think we have got them red -handed.

But what does it all mean?

My guess is that Stern and Zachary were up to something illegal or unethical

involving Lennox.

Which may be why Stern was paying Maggie to be quiet.

Jack, I think we're going to have to have another visit to Dr. Stern's post

house.

when it's turned, most all patients.

You look like the invisible man.

Makes your nose look smaller.

Get the car.

Terribly sorry.

No problem.

Can I help? I'm fine.

You sure you're all right? You should be out like this.

Who's your doctor? Dr.

Sloan. Dr. Sloan. May I ask, what kind of doctor is he? I mean, I hear he's

of eccentric.

No, not him. He's solid, like a rock. Really?

Wonderful man, wonderful.

By the way, where are you going?

I've been released.

Thank you for the help.

You tell the nurse in charge that Dr.

Stern did emergency work on me. When she goes to check, you keep her busy. I'll

look around.

All right.

He's got to answer the door first.

Go ahead.

I was just returning a book and he was just lying there.

It's all right. We're done.

Dr. Stern.

Dad, what am I going to do with you? I thought we agreed to let me handle this.

When somebody tries to run me over, I tend to take it personally.

What happens next time when he doesn't miss?

Who am I going to play gin with?

I got work to do.

Look, Lennox is the key. You find him, you have solved the case. Go home, Dad.

Okay. Now what?

I'm going to do what he says.

See you at the patron's dinner tonight.

Mark.

Mark. Give a girl with a hyperthyroid a break. I didn't think you were ever

going to show up.

I'm sorry.

You look beautiful.

Thanks.

Good to see you again, Mark.

A little token for all you've done.

That's beautiful.

I can't accept that.

We'll argue about that later.

Don't you just love it?

I've never seen anything like it.

Thanks. What time is it?

We better get underway.

You're at the head table.

Thank you.

If you're ready, I think I'd like to start.

Your show, sweetheart.

Excuse me. Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like your attention, please.

I have some wonderful people that I'd like to introduce you to.

deaths and the hours immediately after injury, faster and more complete

rehabilitation, and cosmetic procedures that can, in some cases, literally give

a patient new skin.

Ultimately, of course, people are a most valuable resource here at Community

General, which is my way of...

introducing to you our main speaker.

If you don't know him, I am here to tell you that he is a prize.

Ladies and gentlemen, I want to introduce to you the head of internal

Dr. Mark Sloan.

Dr. Sloan, you're on call.

Thank you, Kate.

Good evening.

Kate, I never thought of myself as a prize before.

Makes me think of one of those little things that come in a Cracker Jack box.

Remember the first?

But I think if anyone here tonight really deserves to be called prize, it

be our guest of honor, Mr. J .D. Ganfrey.

Well, I could go on and on, of course, about how important the community

has been to all of us.

But right now, I think it is time to introduce the man whose tremendous

generosity has assured that community will be a leader well into the next

century. I give you the chairman of Bank Express, Mr.

J .D. Gamble.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

I'd like to thank...

Yeah,

it's done. I'll meet you there.

I'm on my way there now.

Good work, Webber.

You're not leaving without this, are you?

This is what seems to be the problem.

Let's take off, Webber.

Sorry, Mr. Gantry. Mr. Webber couldn't make it.

Mr. Webber had a previous engagement with the police.

A singing engagement, as it turns out. He told them everything.

I think I need to talk to my lawyer.

Let me make an educated guess.

I'll bet you that somewhere along the line, a lot of Bank Express money wound

in your pocket or in your Swiss bank account.

You decided to disappear.

You hired Harry Lennox to be your double, neglecting to mention that he

going to be killed in your place.

How am I doing so far?

I don't need to listen to this.

Oh, yes, you do.

You met my son?

Zachary Drummond figured it out, so he had to be eliminated.

You couldn't let Lloyd Stern go. He knew too much.

There was only one problem with your plan.

A little detail that even your $50 ,000 plastic surgery job couldn't cover up.

When Lennox put that necklace on Kate, I noticed he didn't have a cut on his

finger. Now, we learned in medical school that a cut like that does not

three days.

You're under arrest, Mr. Gantry, for the murders of Zachary Drummond and Lloyd

Stern and for the attempted murder of Harry Lennox.

Amazing how effective a bulletproof vest can be.

You're going to go to jail the rest of your life. I've got to live with this

face.

Well, thanks for the ride.

By the way, you two look great.

Thanks for everything. Good night. Thank you. Good night.

Well, where to?

Home.

My home?

My home.

Your home.

I didn't say come in.

Well, just for coffee.

I like coffee.

waiting for you?

I'm not sure, but I think that bird propositioned me.

It's the first time I've ever been propositioned by a member of another

before.

Unless you don't want to count my first house.

just, what is it we're celebrating?

The loss of five million dollars.

Bye -bye.

We'll find it someplace else.

Well, we could start by selling this.

You're a good doctor, doctor.

Nice man.

Thanks.

You're not so bad yourself.

You know, all those things I said about missing staff meetings and getting your

priorities straight, all that stuff.

I remember.

Did you really make a pass at her?

That's the blame you.
