All right.

George Edward Karn, this court finds you guilty of murder in the second degree

for the killing of your wife, Marjorie Ellen Karn. You are hereby sentenced to

no less than 30 years incarceration in this state's maximum security facility

faculty.

No, I didn't kill my wife.

I didn't do it. I did not kill my wife.

Her name's Marguerite Toulon, and I've become quite fascinated by this case.

I think she's about 11 years old. Her family's from St. Lucia in the

Are they, uh... Yes, Norman, they're insured.

Good. Anyway, she's got us all baffled. She checked in running a fever.

She had respiratory difficulties.

She had a severe headache.

And Dr. Barton and Dr. Millenberg examined her over and over again. I ran

least a dozen tests myself in the past couple of days, and nothing.

She's remained stable, but she's not improving.

That is until last night.

And then, out of the clear blue, she just seemed to turn around.

That's why our staff has the reputation they have. No, Norman, you don't

understand. We didn't do anything.

Well, who did?

Well, according to the family, it was the Bruja.

Bruja? What, with their fight? No, no. Not Bruja as in Brujaha.

Bruja. B -R -U -J -A.

It originally meant sorceress.

Okay. Yeah. It's a cultural thing. You see, the island people

will put their faith in the native healers. And now it means more like a

priestess. Priestess. Yeah. She performs sort of things like rituals.

Yeah.

What kind of rituals?

I don't know.

Hello. Hello. I'm Dr. Livingston. Hello.

Mr. Administrator, Mr. Briggs.

Charmed. Charmed.

You should leave.

Leave? Now.

It's not good that you're here.

The feeling I have, a strong one.

But I run this place.

Then you should go and run it.

I'll drop by later.

This is remarkable.

I can't explain it, but it's happening.

The same antibiotics that she's been taking for the past couple of days and

responding to, she seems to be improving on.

Well, she's back now.

And so are you.

Your baby is strong.

Thank you.

You may wish to see me again.

Sometime soon.

I'll be here.

Excuse me.

Yes,

sir.

What is it? I don't know. Auto accident. Multiple injuries.

Take this bed over here.

Michael, good.

Yes, sir. Can we get these shackles removed,

please? All of them. Sure.

Dr. Sloan.

Apparently two squad cars were chasing some guy in a stolen car. They slowed

through this intersection, and they hit a prison transport van. So we got

prisoners, we got guards, we got wounded pedestrians.

Okay, let's get focused on what we've been able to see. Okay, all air packages

are clear, but we got something that'll lose in blood, and I mean fast.

We have a check room here.

Can I intubate this man?

Yes, doctor.

Dr.

Sloan, take a look at this.

Okay.

All right, we're going to need an IV.

Type, cross match.

Yes, sir.

How's it going, Amanda?

This man needs a peer traction splint.

I'll get him number three. Okay.

Let's go, step.

This man needs a chest tube.

Oh,

Norman, look, we're going to be really short -handed. Would you see if we can

get Dr.

Baker, please?

We're going to need you to monitor the blood supply.

All right.

Oh, and call over to Franklin Memorial. See if you can get me one more thoracic.

Right away. Thank you.

Oh, Susan, would you get a crash cart to number six, please? Right away.

Let's see.

Have a look here.

Okay, trauma.

Right radius.

Yeah. Yeah.

Sternum. Mm -hmm.

Ribs. Let's get an x -ray. We'll check them out.

Sorry. Just try to take it easy.

Yeah, and you do the same.

Now, doctor, we're leaving this hospital. Do you understand?

Well, I do, but do you?

There are policemen out there, and they're more on the way.

And if they don't stop you, those internal injuries will.

Either I leave here with you beside me, or I leave with you dead on this floor.

Now, do you understand me?

I do.

Hand me that robe.

I need some clothes.

Lockers.

Doctor's lockers down the hall.

That's very good.

You keep this attitude up and we might just get through this.

I want you to lock the door.

All right, sit down. Sit down right there.

Ah!

There's probably a fracture there.

Yeah, so I noticed.

Your chest hurt?

You've got broken ribs. My guess is you're bleeding internally.

You know, Doc, why don't you save the... You're endangering your life speech.

I just got sentenced to 30 years for something I didn't do, so the way I see

I really don't have much of a life to endanger.

Karn.

You're George Karn. Your wife was murdered. You've been watching court TV,

Doc? It's a big case. She was famous.

Yeah.

move, Doc.

No need for anyone to get hurt.

Besides, there's a few things I need here.

Forget it. This isn't a shopping trip.

Things for you, George.

Take the pressure off that arm.

George, no!

Close the door. Give me the keys.

Amanda, stay calm.

George, I'm not going to run.

I'm not going to challenge you in any way.

You have me. You don't need another hostage.

We can lock her in here.

Amanda, you'll give George and me time to leave, won't you? Yeah, yeah.

George and I understand each other, don't we?

We should leave now.

Help! Somebody help!

Amanda? Dad!

Mommy, Mark's been kidnapped. Let's go to the police.

Security!

No, no, no, no. You're driving, dog.

We get a make on this doctor's car yet? Yes, sir. Working on it right now.

All right, let's deal up as much as we can.

Airports, docks, train stations.

Check the car rental places.

I want stolen car reports, too.

Get a squad out to monitor his friends and relatives.

You Delaney?

Steve Sloan, Metro Homicide.

The hostage is my father.

Yeah, I got a call. You were coming. You're welcome on this detail, but I

you to stay clear of options.

He's my father.

And the man who's got him is my fugitive. Sorry, Sloan, but anyone who

emotional on this, we blow the drill.

Sergeant White, get the choppers up.

We can start roadblocks, maybe 10 -mile radius.

Look, Delaney, I know you know what you're doing, but if you go World War

this and panic the guy, you can get my father killed.

Spending any more time on this can get him killed, too.

Excuse me.

Over here with me.

I want a status report every half hour.

Amanda. Steve.

I know.

Amanda, is there anything you can tell me about this guy that took my father?

Medically, I didn't really get a good look at him. Everything happened so

Best guess.

High -speed collision victim. I noticed that his...

Right arm was giving him a problem. There could be internal injury. It's all

speculation. I'm sorry.

But he's not in good shape. No, and we'll only get worse if there's internal

bleeding. I suspect that the man's going to collapse sooner or later.

All right. Thanks.

Steve, we've got to find Mark.

Don't worry. We will.

Let's try this again.

I know you're worried.

You have a right to be.

I have a personal history with George Karn.

I arrested him.

The reason I'm running so hard on this is because the book tells us your

father's already dead.

Karn probably put a bullet in him a couple of blocks from the hospital. I'm

sorry.

So what am I supposed to do?

Just walk away and start planning his funeral?

That's not going to happen, Delaney.

I don't know what book you've been reading, but we don't know anybody's

harmed. You may know this, Karn, but you don't know my father.

And you sure as hell don't know me.

I'm in, and I'm staying in.

Don't get in my way, Sloan. Then don't make me have to.

We all do our job right on this. We get my father back safe.

Take a left up here.

You're a brave man, Doc.

What you did in that supply room took a lot of guts.

I don't know about brave.

Practical, maybe.

But just something you should start being, George.

You're not going to get far.

They probably already got a skipton on this car.

They've started using aerial search grids.

Probably have my credit card numbers put out in case we hit an ATM or try to buy

supplies. They'll be monitoring mobile phones everywhere.

How do you know all that?

Well, crime's kind of a hobby of mine.

My son's on the force.

Great.

Hospital full of people, and I snatch a cop's father.

And I consult for it. I must allow myself.

Oh, even better.

Take the next ride.

Come on, Doc. Pull over.

Tell me you're out of gas or something.

Do you feel like pressure's building up in there?

I've got to look at those ribs.

Doc, we had this talk.

Take a left at this light.

Where are we going? Anywhere in particular?

Yeah.

1318 Waterford Street.

Any reason?

Find some proof that says I'm innocent.

In the move booth.

I've got to use this phone. It's an emergency.

So do I. That's why I want it. Please. It's an emergency. So is this.

Oh, it's an emergency. How come you're talking to me? Because you won't leave.

All right. What are you doing?

Move it. Right.

Oh, that's great.

I run a red light for once. There's not a cop around to see it.

Finally, you're pulling over.

Where are we?

This is Margie's old video studio.

You sit down right there where I can see you.

Margie Karn, the queen of fitness.

Those tapes must have sold well. I've seen them everywhere.

Yeah, over three million a year. She was bigger than Fonda and Crawford both.

Damn it, it's got to be somewhere.

What are you looking for, George?

You know, you ask a lot of questions for someone on the wrong end of a gun. Why

don't you shut up?

Maybe if you talk a little bit, I'd just listen.

Why do I have to tell you anything?

You don't.

Drag me out of the hospital, point of a gun.

Run me over half this city.

For all I know, you're going to kill me. I mean, what's a little conversation on

her or anything?

So talk.

What are we looking for?

It's a journal she kept.

That's all I thought about in that cell. I was sure it was here.

Hey.

Wait!

Well, surely somebody looked for the book.

Yeah, cracked defense tape.

I doubt they ever believed me.

Anyway, they couldn't find it.

Finally, the DA convinced everyone I was stalling, and they got on with the

trial.

But that book's real.

What did you expect to find in it?

The last time I talked to Margie,

She told me she was worried about something.

She wanted me to come down to the club and talk.

You two were separated?

Oh, yeah. The prosecutor jumped on that, too.

My motive.

A rich couple's nasty divorce.

There wasn't going to be any divorce.

We were separated, that's all.

We had a bunch of fights about business, but that happens.

I'm telling you.

We loved each other. We would have worked it out.

What about the phone call?

She called. She told me something was terribly wrong at the club. That's all

said.

You went to see her?

When I got there, someone told me she was up on the roof.

I went up, but the area was clear.

I heard a noise from the street. I looked over.

She was lying down there.

I turned to run to her, but, uh... The cops were there. They arrested me.

Witnesses on the street said they saw me leaning over the rail.

Well, motive and witnesses.

Yeah.

Well, you know how it ended.

The trial took all of two weeks.

You never found out what she phoned about?

It's in the book. I know that.

Maybe I could help look.

Are you crazy?

No. Actually, I'm a doctor.

You've got to let me use it. Just a second. I swear I'll pay for this call.

Hello? Yes. I have an address on that hospital kidnapping.

What kidnapping?

Right. He still has the gun. What gun?

Oh, sir, you won't believe what's going on here. 1 ,300 pounds of water for the

warehouse!

Please hurry.

He's armed and should be considered very dangerous.

He's already taken a hostage.

Who may or may not still be with him.

Point is, he could try to return here. If he's spotted, don't approach him.

Just call his number.

Dee Dee, what is it?

George Karn escaped.

Oh, God bless L .A.'s finest.

Bunch of incompetence paid with my tax dollar. You finally catch one, you let

him escape.

Who are you?

King Bridger. You know Karn, Mr. Bridger? Oh, hell yeah. Knew his wife,

Used to be her manager. Oh, I made Margie. Did all her videos.

Wendy here is next.

Can't you stop selling for one minute, King? They're after a killer.

Lieutenant, we got him. He was spotted in the building on Waterford. Nobody

makes a move until I get there, you understand?

Let's do it.

Hey, Doc, just don't go near the door.

You gave me a word, remember?

Yeah, so did my attorney.

This Margie?

Yeah. A couple years ago.

That's, uh, that's Dee Dee Harris, our club manager.

The club's how Margie and I met.

I, uh, owned a building that was perfect for her facility.

A real estate deal.

Led to our marriage.

To my golden goose.

Love, King?

King Bridger. Sweet son of a... What a jerk.

He made her video...

He got paid for his services, then he turns around and sues for half the

Sure, a lot of tape machines in here.

Yeah, it's her work bag.

Of course, a couple of those machines were set on permanent programming for

soaps.

She was an addict. She would tape them during the day and launch them at night.

What?

Enjoyed seeing his name, didn't he?

Yeah, you should watch it. He even takes half credit on the music.

You know, we should let me take a look at you.

Ah, no, no, no, no, I'm all right.

I guess I didn't end here.

How big was that journal?

I don't know, six.

Probably four, maybe.

Is it black?

Yeah.

Yeah! God!

All yours, my friend.

We gotta get out of here.

Doc. Take that lab coat off. You look too much like the good human man dressed

in that.

Right.

I don't understand.

It's brand new.

Okay, let's go. There's the bus.

Move into position. Let's go, let's go, let's go.

Move it, move it, move it.

Car's abandoned.

Someone's jimmied it.

Get some foot patrols out in his neighborhood.

You see him, he even blinks. Drop him.

Delaney.

He giving the order to fire? The man's got a hostage.

I'm bringing George Cornelius, Sloan. And what about my father? You gonna drop

him, too?

We know what we're doing.

Yeah, you're looking for a headline in a press conference.

You're not gonna do it by putting my father in a crossfire.

I'll do it any damn way I please.

You want this animal taking more hostages?

I know this man, Sloan. You don't.

I was there. I saw his wife's body when he threw her off a ten -story building.

Why? Because the marriage went sour.

I'll have a way to end a sticky divorce.

And that's what we're dealing with.

Will you see me, Delaney?

Because I'm what you're dealing with, too.

Why don't you start acting like a cop? Why don't you stop worrying so much

your perp and start considering the man he's with?

Yeah, I'm a cop, Delaney.

But I'm a son first, and I'm telling you.

You keep acting like a cowboy and get my father hurt, the next guy going down is

you.

You better damn well not threaten me, boy.

What are you going to do, Delaney?

You going to report me to IA?

You going to bring me up on charges?

You want my badge, Delaney?

Take it.

I'll see you when this is over.

If this doesn't turn out right, you're gonna wish you never saw me.

Neither one of us knows what we're looking for.

We got a problem here.

No, thanks.

I'm good.

Hello. Oh, hello.

How is she doing?

Oh, very well.

Well enough to want some rock and roll.

Yeah, let's see here.

Oh, white counts down.

Fever's gone.

Whatever she had, she's beaten. I just don't understand how.

You're a good doctor.

All we added was faith.

Marguerite will be fine.

But you're troubled.

Who's this man that you care for so much?

Your father?

No.

Not my real father, but I care about him as much. Yes, I know.

And this man's in danger.

Yes. And I'm here helpless, unable to assist him in any way.

Tell me about him.

His name is Dr.

Sloan. Mark Sloan.

And I suppose if I were to have a second father, it would be him.

Yes, the friendship is that close.

It is.

He's a teacher to you?

Of medicine.

But in many ways, he has more wisdom outside of my father than any man I've

known.

A wise friend.

He should be cherished. And he is.

I think it's the warmth that pulls you to him.

The sense of humor, his caring, this feeling of whatever you

decide is right.

It gives you a sense of confidence and courage you never knew that you had.

Well, he sees it in you.

So do I.

And you need that courage now.

I know, but he's been kidnapped, and I have no idea where he is.

Still, we can protect him.

Come.

Oh, man.

Steve called. They almost caught that maniac who has Mark. He was caught?

Yes, they had him in a building, but he's... He's gone.

Still running with the other man.

I... I cannot have this type of thing in this hospital.

What type of thing?

This. I mean, what's next here? Crystal balls and stay on some gold sand?

Excuse me. Norman,

this is a set of old beliefs.

It's no different than people bringing flowers to wish a patient well.

She's a witch doctor.

We have to get her out of here. She's a nice person, and she knows things.

And one thing I know is that shrunken heads and chicken bones don't mix with

hospitals. I want her out. I will go if you insist.

But you may regret it.

Me?

Well, how?

Nona, why don't you let her stay, all right?

I have to run.

I mean, here.

Where? All these little notations on various days.

There must be more than 20 of them in here.

They seem to have started a couple of months before her death.

You see that Nick and Sharon, 324 -420.

Edmund and Maria, 126 -214. I have no idea.

And their names come up in here again, too.

They might be clients.

I certainly didn't know them all. Her journal was very private.

You know, even at that, she took extra cautious to write it in some kind of a

code.

Looks like the last stop.

Nope, not for us.

We're not going to get very far on foot.

Well, then we won't.

There.

We'll go in that car long enough to go through the journal.

If you last that long.

Look at yourself, George. Look at your shirt on the left side.

You took some gauze, right? We can rewrap it inside.

Another bandage is going to help that.

The second opinion's mine in this one, Doc. Keep walking.

Can't use that armor.

You're going to have to trust me on this one, George.

That's what this situation is all about, isn't it?

Each one of us hoping the other one doesn't do something stupid.

I don't intend to.

Okay, Doc.

Make yourself comfortable.

Jesse, no!

Let's go, I got him. I got him! You may have killed him.

Jesse,

we've got to move fast. We're going to operate.

Operate here?

We're moving!

What do you got?

Cracked rib. I think you broke it.

Yeah, I spunked it as luck.

Okay, uh, Jeff, he's got a water bottle in his pocket. Get it, will ya?

And, uh, strip the tubing off this step, let's go.

Have you got a knife, scissors, anything like that?

I got a, uh, pocket knife.

Okay, that'll do fine.

His windpipe's blocked.

He's got all the symptoms.

Attention to orthorex.

Correct diagnosis.

Now it's safe.

Why don't you operate here and we can kill this guy?

If we do nothing, we're going to kill him for sure.

I guess there's a ballpoint pen in my pocket here.

Unscrew it. Take out the ink cartridge.

Put the tubing on the large end.

We'll use the sharp end for the introducer.

Right. Now, punch two holes in the top of that water bottle.

Get the pre -enter the tubing through and down roll the water line.

Good. Now tape it up really solid on top.

We need a water seal drain.

Where's the knife?

Okay, I'm going to go in through the third interspace.

We're going to make a one -way valve.

We've got to release that air escaping to the chest cavity.

And then I get stopped by the water.

And we restore negative pressure. I'm going to try.

Okay, steady, George.

All right.

Easy, George.

It's releasing out.

Keep your fingers crossed.

Next couple of breaths ought to reinflate now.

Jesse, you just saved a man's life.

It's incredible.

This is why I wanted to be a doctor.

Me too.

Great feeling.

Look at me.

I'm Kurt.

Norman, what are you talking about?

Look at my hand.

It's red.

It's puffy. There are little brown spots growing.

Norman, it looks like you're having an allergic reaction to something.

It's that voodooist. I touched the things and she put a spell on me.

I don't think so.

What? She put another pit in that little doll she made of me.

What little doll? You know, the one they make of you after they cut the

chicken's head off and condemn you to eternal damnation.

Norman, what did you hear for lunch? I don't know. A soup and a burrito at a

cafeteria. I would lay odds if that's where your eternal damnation is coming

from. It's that woman.

I know it.

She's going to make my life a living hell.

You better stay away from me.

This is like a bad movie.

I don't believe in this kind of stuff.

You're just nuts.

How are you holding up?

Got another job for you.

Anything.

Jump off the train.

What?

I'll stay with Mr. Carr. He'll be reviving soon.

You go find a way to contact the police.

I don't know. Back up to the part where you say I jump off the train?

Yeah.

There's a sharp curve up ahead. They'll slow down to that.

Oh, great.

I get to kill myself after I save my first patient.

Yes, I'm not asking you to do something I think would hurt you. When you land,

just tuck and roll.

Tuck and roll?

Yeah, you know, like coming to ground after a skydive.

I've never been skydiving.

Uh, downhill skiing?

No.

Did you ever fall down stairs?

Yes? There you go.

I almost broke my neck.

So you've got experience.

I don't know.

Look, stay, I'll go.

Oh, no.

I'll go.

Okay,

Kurt's coming up.

Say goodbye to Amanda for me. I will. I'll feed your dog and your cat. I don't

have a cat!

What's going on here? Where's Delaney? He's gone.

They got another fix on Karn and his hostage.

I told them to notify me. Take it easy.

If this tip is good, they got him.

Where? He's on a train headed for Ventura County.

Delaney took the whole army with him, I'm telling you. He'll bring him back

time, probably in a box.

Delaney issued a shoot -on -sight order.

How long ago?

Maybe ten minutes.

What train? What's the number?

10 -43, Suncoast Southern.

What happened?

Your lung collapsed, my friend. We had to operate on you.

Operate?

You're a lucky man.

I'm lucky to have you on board.

Don't move that stuff.

Where's the guy that hit... Threw him off the train.

Ah, George.

You should have thrown this away, too.

Yeah, maybe I should have.

Got interested in this journal of Margie's, though.

Why are you so damned interested in that?

Just maybe because you are.

You know, I'm not sure yet, but there's something in here, George. All these

little entries are printed.

Not like everything else in her normal, fast handwriting.

Huh? Well, it means it's important to her.

I'm a doctor, George. I've got sloppy handwriting.

And when it's important, I do the same thing.

I print it.

I'm telling you, there's something in here.

Don't tell me you're starting to believe me.

Well, maybe I do.

Doesn't seem like anybody else does.

Not my friends, not our employees, not even my own lawyers.

Where's Lloyd?

It's the police up ahead, George.

They're stopping the train.

It's the end.

No, it's not.

In your condition, even at this speed, if you jump, it will kill you. And

not a guess.

Doc, I am not going back.

If it's going to end here, then it'll end here.

What about me?

You're going to shoot me, George.

You're not going to kill me. You didn't then and you're not going to now.

You're not a killer, are you, George?

George, I do believe you.

You had a chance to run. You didn't. You stayed.

You went after that journal.

Now that's the action of an innocent man to me.

Give me a chance to help you. Let me find out who killed Margie. I swear to

I'll do it.

Third car from the engine. That's where the kid's at.

Let's go.

What's it going to be, George?

Too close, Doc.

I've got Margie's journal and can't quit now.

Well, then you leave me no choice.

Viacom.
