50 miles an hour without a seat belt. All right, get him to Dr. Pfeiffer,

operating room two, stat.

Right away.

Mark,

Mark, can I get a better view over here?

Better? Perfect.

Now I just need to take care of this bleeder.

Bob, how much blood do you have on hand?

Four units, not including the cell saver. Yeah, that should be plenty.

little more suction.

Close, but the good guy's won.

What's up?

I just came by to tell you I gotta cancel our dinner plans.

Lieutenant Baker came down with the flu, and I gotta pull a double shift.

That's the third time this week.

Tell me about it.

Hello?

It's for you.

Dr. Sloan?

Well, hi, Jack. How are you?

Well, I will if I can. What's the favor?

Yeah?

Well, that sounds tempting.

Okay. I'll get back to you, Jack.

Everybody go home and pack.

And what shall we pack?

Try resort wear.

You'll be able to enjoy yourself and relax for a whole week. No pressures, no

responsibilities. There'll be some responsibilities.

You and I splitting the medical duties with Mark, it's going to be a walk in

park. I guess. It's just, you know. You worry about C .J. and Dionne. Yeah, I

do. Believe me, you were doing the right thing.

Oh, Amanda, Jesse, I'd like for you to meet our captain.

Captain Kennedy, this is Dr. Amanda Bentley, Dr. Jesse Travers. Hello. I was

just telling Dr. Sloan how much I appreciate all of you filling in for Dr.

Baladni's nurse.

I was so grateful that they could have time off for their wedding.

Where did they decide to go on their honeymoon?

Cruise to the Caribbean.

A cruise?

Say vacation.

Vacation.

Help. Please help.

What? It's my father.

What's up? I think he's dying.

Jessie, see if you can find the bag. Bring it to the room, will you?

What's happening to him? You have to help him.

Tracy, as soon as he took the insulin, he got clammy. He started to sweat, and

then he just fell down.

What do you got?

Diabetic insulin overdose.

Give me one MP50.

Please hurry.

He's going to die. No, he won't.

I should do it.

What happened?

Would someone get him some juice, please?

Yeah.

I thought you were dying.

It appears you took an overdose of insulin.

Tracy, go cry somewhere else.

We thought you were dead.

Well, I'm not.

Could you please... Here, drink this down.

You took 30 units of insulin?

Ten. Well, all the other ampules in there say ten, but the one you took was

Oh, my God.

Dad, I don't know how this could have happened.

I'll look into it right away.

Amy has an Internet pharmaceutical company. She gets Robert's insulin form

discount. We've never had anything happen like this before.

I'm so sorry.

Thank you so much, Doctor. Dr. Sloan. And this is my colleague, Dr. Travis.

Here, get me a scotch.

I'll get it.

Mr. Brannigan, I don't think that having a drink right now is a great idea.

I already have a doctor, thank you. One that doesn't have to work cruise ships.

Thank you again.

Say vacation.

Well, I'm sure it'll be smooth sailing the rest of the trip.

You should have seen the way he treated his wife and daughters.

Well, maybe it was a reaction to the overdose.

Sure. Bad manners is a common side effect to insulin overdose.

Okay, I think we're done here. I'm famished. There's Dr. Sloan. There's

accident. What happened? Just put her on the examination table.

This is Casey Lonegan. She's our activities director. My leg!

She was setting up in the gym when she just tripped on something. It's broken.

We can set that for you.

I'm going to call Coast Guard. Have them send a helicopter, take you back to

shore. Captain, I don't think that'll be necessary.

Don't you worry.

I'll have somebody take over as activities director temporarily.

Me? Well, everyone says that you have the perfect personality.

And there are two other doctors.

Captain, I really never got to hang a shuffleboard or bingo either for that

matter. Dad, don't sell yourself short. You were the bingo king at our church

fair three years ago.

That was three years ago, Steve.

I'm a little out of practice now.

Well, we don't offer bingo anyway.

Or shuffleboard.

Too sedentary.

What do you offer?

Rollerblading.

Spinning.

Do you like kickboxing?

Kickboxing? You know, maybe you'd better find somebody else. I've always wanted

to learn kickboxing.

Oh, wonderful. You can learn as you teach. I'll make the announcement at

What announcement?

I think you just said yes to the activities director's job.

I did?

Dr. Clown.

I wanted to thank you again for this afternoon and to apologize for my

behavior. No, no, it was the least I could do.

Amy, I'd like for you to meet my son, Steve. He's taking his first cruise with

his old man.

How do you do?

Well, nice to meet you.

Well, I hope you'll both sit at our table for dinner.

Yes, thank you.

When we get back to land, I want you to see an orthopedist. I promise.

Okay.

It's a good thing the kitchen of the cruise ship never closes. I'm starved.

Me too.

Do you have something from the ocean sickness?

Are you sure the kitchen never closes?

Come on, then. We'll get you fixed up.

Well, if you'll excuse me.

Duty calls.

Good night. Good night.

Good night.

So I understand you own an internet pharmaceutical business.

Well, that's how my stepmother characterizes it, but it's actually just

opposite. Meaning?

Well, I'm a pharmaceutical research assistant.

My specialty is drug interactions. I have a website that lists prescription

drugs and the dangers associated with mixing them.

That's a wonderful service.

I'm proud of it.

It costs a lot of money to keep going.

And if Dad doesn't give me a loan, I'm going to have to close it down.

I thought everyone that owned an Internet business was a millionaire.

Hardly.

But I do have a lot of contacts in the pharmaceutical world. If there's

you need, I can get it for you wholesale.

But you do have to have a prescription.

Well, I'm in no need of a prescription at the moment, thank you.

My dad's idea of preventative medicine is dragging me along in this cruise.

He seems like a wonderful man.

Waiter.

Cognac? Darling, don't you think you've had enough?

If I thought I'd had enough, I wouldn't have asked for more.

I'll just have coffee, please.

Yes, I believe I will, too. Cream, two sugars, please.

And I'll have sugar also.

Of course, madam.

Nice to see you on a cruise again.

Excuse me.

How long has it been since you last sailed with us?

Oh, this is my first cruise.

Oh, my mistake.

You remind me of someone else.

You have children, Dr. Sloan?

Yes, I do, too.

My son, Steve, whom you've met, and I have a daughter, Carol, in Seattle.

And do they love you?

Well, they send me a tie every Father's Day. That's an indication.

Now, you see, before you, the issue of my loins. Robert, I think we should call

it a night.

How about it, Tracy, Amy?

You love your dear old dad?

You know, it is getting a little late. Maybe we should all turn in. How about

it, Tracy?

Are you going to tell the good doctor how much you love your old man?

I do love you. I'd give anything to make you happy.

What did you say?

I can't.

Hear you.

I don't feel so well.

What's the matter with you? Are you drunk? Robert, please.

Well, Amy, it looks like it's up to you.

Are you going to let these good people know how much your father is loved?

What, have I raised two daughters incapable of human speech?

If you don't feel loved, there's nothing that I can say to change that now.

You're making a fool of yourself, and you're embarrassing your family.

That doesn't change how much I love you, but I will not be bullied into

declaring it either. How dare you speak to me like that?

Don't think I won't change my will. I'll change it tonight.

Robert, please.

I'll go talk to him.

And that's the last of them. I think we've seen every passenger on this ship.

Do you have something?

I think I'm seasick.

He didn't want to see you?

He told me to go away and mind my own business.

It might be best if he just sleeps it off.

Booze isn't my dad's problem.

He has a lot on his mind.

There's things going on. It's complicated.

Want to talk about it?

Thanks.

Can't help feeling sorry for your stepmother.

Claire's okay, I guess.

You don't like her.

Well, I suppose that's always the way it is with daughters and stepmothers.

But the bottom line is, he's just what Dad needed.

After Mom died, he was like a zombie.

And then Claire came along and suddenly he was alive and happy.

I don't see him happy now.

I know.

Maybe a sea cruise is just what the doctor ordered.

And I haven't worked this hard since residency.

Amanda, let's split Mark's medical duties. It'll be a walk in the park.

the one who said you needed a vacation.

I'm too tired to argue with you. I'm too hungry to be tired.

I'm sorry, the dining room is closed.

Well, where can we get some food?

On the promenade deck.

6 .30 tomorrow morning.

What? Breakfast.

Well, I won't last until breakfast.

There's got to be some food around here somewhere.

Do you like sandwiches?

I love sandwiches.

Extra mustard, hold the mayonnaise.

I'll take his mayonnaise.

I'll be right back.

Sit wherever you like.

Robert? Hello, darling.

Where the hell have you been? I was out on the deck looking at the moon.

So beautiful out.

Thought we might go up on the deck and take a moonlight stroll, just the two of

us.

I need more champagne.

I'll get you some.

And you can bring it with you.

So, how was your talk with Amy?

You know, I really don't want to go into that right now.

Okay.

I think a walk will do you good.

Maybe you'll get a good night's sleep for the first time in your life.

Come on.

Bring the bottle.

Oh, okay.

See, this isn't so bad.

Claire,

there's something that I need to talk to you about.

Can't it wait till the morning?

I guess.

I'm just so tired.

Isn't the moonlight beautiful on the water?

What?

Okay, that was very, very good. Now let's try it again, only let's go in the

right order. Say it after me.

Shuffle, step, ball, chain.

Shuffle, step, ball, chain. Very good. Are we ready? I signed up for

Ma 'am, I'm sorry. I'm kind of filling in here today. I can guarantee you one

thing, though.

Tap dancing will give you a very good cardiovascular workout.

You are doing it right.

Okay, we'll just do the step, shuffle, step, shuffle, step, shuffle, step.

Got the rhythm of that?

See how easy that is?

Okay, let's see you do it.

I know.

Let's do it one at a time. Sir, would you try it there once? Oh, sure.

You know anything about kickboxing?

No, no, I'm a dancer.

Listen, could you, uh, would you take over the class for me a moment? I guess

wouldn't mind.

Thank you.

Okay.

Chins up.

Chest out.

Everybody act like dancers. Come on. Dum -dum -dum.

Da -da -da -da -da -da. Have you heard any more about your husband?

No.

No, I thought he'd just taken a walk, so I didn't worry.

I guess I must have fallen asleep, and I woke up about 3 in the morning, and

there was still no sign of him, and that's when I called for help.

You know, they'll search the whole ship. They'll find them.

They say they've searched everywhere.

The captain even ordered out the launch boats a couple of hours ago. I don't

even want to think about that.

I'm sure he is on board this ship somewhere.

I'll help you look for him. It'll make you feel better.

You know, Mark, they keep asking me if he was suicidal.

I mean, he was under a lot of pressure lately, but... You don't think... Too

soon to think anything.

I should go back to my cabin, because if he is on board, maybe he'll come back.

Will you come with me?

Of course I will.

And then my son said, don't worry about Dion, Mom. I'll take real good care of

him.

My mother's with him.

You miss them?

Do you have children?

I call them every night.

It must be hard, I mean, being away from them for weeks at a time.

I tell them stories about places I've been.

This is good.

Extra mayonnaise.

I never forget a special request.

Do you have anything for a really bad sunburn?

Yes, we do.

Mrs. Yates, is it not?

That's right.

This is your third trip with us, I believe.

How do you remember that?

Food. You're partial to peanut butter and cinnamon sandwiches on toasted rye

bread. Who could forget?

I wish my husband had half the memory you have.

Thanks. You don't remember when my anniversary is, do you?

I'm afraid not.

Can't have everything.

I shouldn't have let him drink.

Oh, it wouldn't be too hard on yourself.

I doubt there's anything you could have done anyway.

Would you get it?

Brattigan cabin.

Yes.

All right.

Yes, we'll be right up.

The boats are back.

They found your husband's body.

Okay.

The body was caught in a kelp bed. Otherwise, I doubt we'd have found him.

Maybe it's not him.

It's him, Claire.

It's Dad.

Tracy! You did this.

You did this to him. You fought with him last night. About what? The money? His

will? We didn't fight.

If you hadn't taken him back to the cabin and upset him, he would still be

right now.

That's not true.

We'll take the body back to the sickbay.

Dr. Bentley's a pathologist. She can do the autopsy.

Mrs. Brannigan, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Thank you.

Can I talk to you in private for a minute?

Certainly.

Randigan had two light -threatening accidents in two days.

Coincidences like that give me funny thoughts.

You think it was murder?

I think it's a real good possibility.

Well, how could you prove homicide?

There were no witnesses.

There was no weapon.

Well, first we'll check the pathology report.

That should give us a pretty good idea of when he went overboard.

Then we'll have to figure out where everyone was at that time.

That could be easier than you think.

The ship's card key system uses the central computer.

Every time a guest uses his card to open a door. That's great. Let's start with

the wife and daughters.

They all entered their rooms before midnight.

But Mrs. Brattigan said her husband left his room again shortly after midnight.

There's no record of that?

Well, the system doesn't record when you leave the room.

Only when you use the card to enter the room.

I can't live without him. What am I going to do?

Don't say that. I don't even want you to think that.

Tracy?

You have to give me something.

Please. I feel like I'm coming out of my skin. You have to. Tracy, it's okay. I

can give you something.

You can?

Sure, if that's what you really need.

But you'll do me a favor first.

Take a walk with me around the deck.

Take some deep breaths and talk about your dad.

Okay.

I know he didn't believe me, but I really loved him. I believe you.

Amy, I'm so sorry.

Your father went with my dad.

With his body to the medical bay.

You all right?

We didn't fight last night.

Okay.

My father had a brain tumor.

That's why his behavior became so erratic.

No one knew, not even Claire.

He didn't tell his wife?

He didn't want any pity from anybody.

I promised him I would keep it between us.

I wonder now if I did the right thing.

Hello?

You're not going to believe this.

You're not going to believe this.

Brain tumor?

How did you know?

Amy told me. She's the only one in her family that knows.

Listen, Dad, I got a call from headquarters.

They rescheduled the court date, and I have to be back in L .A. in the morning.

Oh, this is the first vacation you've had in years. I know, but LAPD's sending

helicopter for me.

You know, if it was a tumor, I guess it is possible Brannigan jumped.

I don't think so.

Look at the bruises at the base of his skull.

Couldn't he just whack his head as he went over the side?

Well, there's two bruises, slightly different angles, but one almost on top

the other one. It's a little hard for me to believe he hit his head twice in

exactly the same spot.

And look at these massive hemorrhages.

I don't know what caused them, but I'll tell you one thing. He didn't die by

drowning. He bled to death.

Then we're officially looking at a murder. Yeah, it looks like it.

Amanda? Yeah, I know. I'll try to figure out what caused these hemorrhages.

Steve, since you're going back, I'd like to give you some blood samples. All

right. I bet I'll call headquarters.

There's a murderer on board.

Well, we've got ship security.

Last night at the table, you thought you recognized Mrs. Brannigan from a

previous cruise.

Well, one cannot be infallible.

Dr. Bentley commented on your remarkable memory.

Lawrence, if you know anything, it would be in the ship's best interest to

cooperate with Dr. Sloan.

Well, I'm certain she was on a cruise before. A different ship, but perhaps

overstepping, but I believe there was a death on her first cruise as well.

You don't wear that watch.

I'm sorry.

Look, we've seen how many people there are on this ship. We go out almost every

two weeks.

Would you like coffee?

Yes. Cream and two sugars, correct?

Very good.

God gives us all gifts. For a waiter, this is a good one.

Wait.

Madam had the baked Alaska, but never the sauce.

Therefore... It must have been on a cruise to Alaska.

Company tried it out on that run.

Could we find out what year that was?

Certainly. But that's not going to give us the names.

Captain, do all the passengers have their picture taken when they come on

Yes.

They're all starting to look alike.

And none of them look like Claire Branigan.

Are you sure corporate headquarters kept all the photos?

At the end of every cruise, I send them all my negatives. I assume it's the same

for the other photographers.

Yeah, that's true.

People do change, but I don't think Claire was ever Korean.

Hello?

Gentlemen, allow me to present Claire Donahue.

And the man with her, her first husband, died on that cruise.

I look so young here, don't I?

So you admit that's you.

Why would I lie about it?

Well, you told the waiter you'd never been on a cruise before.

That's right, in front of Robert.

You saw how he was.

You know, the day before we left on this cruise, the phone rang and Robert

answered it.

Whoever called hung up. I assumed it was the wrong number.

But Robert accused me of having an affair and screamed at me the rest of

day. Did you tell a man like that you'd been on another cruise with another

husband?

Who also died on board that cruise.

We knew that Carl had a family history of stroke, but you always think that

you'll be different. And he was so healthy right up until the time.

Mark, you don't think... Why would I kill Robert?

Claire, we all heard him say he was changing his will.

Three hours later, he was dead. That could be a very powerful motive.

You're right.

It would be if I were in the will.

But I'm not.

And never was.

Ask his lawyer.

Is there anything else?

You know, Mark, I thought you were a gentleman.

But I have always been such a bad judge of men.

What do you think?

I think she's one of the smartest women I ever met.

When's the helicopter picking you up?

I'm way ahead of you.

Well, I'm back, or I'll look into what happened to Claire's first husband.

You, uh, need a hand?

I'm so clumsy, I can't do this. What are you talking about? You're doing it.

You're doing it badly.

But, you know, later you'll get better, but you're doing it.

I am doing it. Yeah, falling down is just a part of the process, you know? It

teaches you not to fall again.

Okay. I want to try again.

On my own. All right.

Look!

Look!

Why'd you stop? You look so good.

I shouldn't be... I mean, Dad just died.

You don't have to justify anything to me.

Now keep going.

Detective Sloan?

Detective Sloan?

I'm Bernetta Cole.

I'm Carl Donald from the sister.

Oh, thank you for coming in.

I have to get back to work in 30 minutes.

Well, this shouldn't take long. Please, sit down.

I'm looking into the death of Richard Brand again, and I just had a few

questions about your brother's death.

You mean his murder?

Well, his medical record says he died of a stroke.

Detective Sloan, I've had family members who died of stroke.

There were warning signs.

Carl had none.

But there was a family history of stroke.

Yes, but they were smokers. They were seriously overweight.

Do you know what Carl's hobby was?

Running marathons.

My brother died just three months after Claire took out a big insurance policy

on his life.

I guess you didn't know that, did you?

Mark, I was just thinking about you.

I'm sorry we had to ask you some difficult questions earlier.

No.

I'm the one that's sorry.

Can you sit for a second?

Sure.

If Robert was murdered, I want to find the killer, too.

You're married to Robert.

I know. I'm sure it didn't look very happy to you.

But, Mark, he didn't deserve to be murdered.

Investigate everything, and I'll do whatever I can to help you.

Dr. Sloan. Yes.

Dr. Bentley is looking for you.

Thank you, Captain.

He'll be all right.

Hi. This just came by fax. See what I was talking about?

Now we know where the multiple hemorrhages came from. Mm -hmm.

Coumadin. He took a very high dosage of the anticoagulant, even for a cancer

patient. Well, you know, patients do self -medicate. Maybe he took more than

doctor prescribed.

I called his doctor. He said he never prescribed coumadin, ever.

Ever?

Well, if whoever gave it to him wanted to kill him. A dosage this high would

inhibit clotting, but it wouldn't do any noticeable harm to Mr. Brannigan until

someone hit him.

And then it would be impossible for his body to stop the internal bleeding.

I'm going to have the captain conduct a search.

You think it's still on board?

Well, if it is, I bet it gets to Claire Brantigan's cabin.

Hello?

Hi. I was going to ask how you're doing, but I think I already know.

Well, if it helps, I'm talking to the only person that can cheer me up. I

that's my cue to tell you some jokes, but I found it makes people really

when you can't remember the punchlines.

So how'd your court case go?

Now, wouldn't you know it, they put her up till next Monday.

Does that mean you can rejoin us?

Well, I don't know yet.

Oh, someone's at the door. Can you hold on a minute? Sure.

Miss Bunning, I have to ask your permission to search your quarters.

Oh, excuse me one minute.

I'm sorry, Steve. I'll have to call you right back.

So what are you looking for?

Hello?

Steve, any luck?

Listen, Jesse, I can't get my dad on his cell phone. Could you have him get in

touch with me? It's important.

Yeah, okay, no problem.

I, uh, tell him as soon as I see him. I gotta go.

Captain Kennedy.

We found the drug that killed Mr. Bruntigan. And in his daughter's cabin.

I swear, I have never seen that bottle before. You have to believe me.

Amy. Amy, no.

They can't take you. Are those cuffs really necessary?

It's maritime law.

I have to hold her in the lockup until I can hand her over to the Port

Authority. She didn't do anything.

Tracy, I need you to call Father's lawyer, Robert Holmes.

No, I can't. No, call him. He'll know what to do.

She loved him. She wouldn't kill him.

Very important.

I've been trying to reach Mr. Holmes since 9 o 'clock last night.

I don't care where he is or what he's doing. I need to speak to him.

Yes, I'll hold.

What if he doesn't take my call?

Mr.

Holmes, this is Tracy Branigan.

Not too well, I'm afraid. My father's had an accident.

I can tell you about that later. The important thing is my sister is being

on suspicion of murder and I need for you to arrange for bail immediately.

Yes, I will.

All right.

take care of everything.

That's great.

Oh, Jesse, I was so afraid.

But you did it. I mean, you made the call. You got him to listen to you. You

great.

I'm so tired.

I haven't slept in so long.

Hello? I've been trying to get through to Steve all morning, and my phone keeps

hanging up on me.

Probably not enough satellites out here in the middle of the ocean.

Maybe you can pay your roaming charges.

Maybe. Tracy got through to her father's lawyer okay.

You should have heard her. She was forceful and confident.

You haven't heard anything from Steve at all?

He told me last night that Claire's first husband had a sister, and his

thinks that Claire murdered him for the insurance money.

I'm sure you've checked for insurance policies on Robert.

Nothing. She's not even in the will.

She has no motive. We can't tie her to the weapon.

Well, I suppose Claire could have planted it in Amy's room, but where

have gotten it from? Amy had the drug contacts.

Yeah, I know, but that's a little bit too tidy for me. I think Amy's being set

up.

Let's say Claire did kill Robert.

Let's say she gave him the drug, followed him out onto the deck, and then

him. What did she spend the rest of the night out on the deck?

She called the captain about 3 a .m. from her cabin.

Okay, but then how did she get back into her room?

Hello. Hi, it's Mrs. Brantigan. We're ready to release your husband's

to you if you'd like to come up and collect them.

Be right there.

Mark.

What are you doing in Amy's cabin?

I'm looking for evidence.

Oh.

You really think she's guilty?

Well, she had a motive and had the opportunity and she had the means.

And she admitted her business was in trouble, that she desperately needed

And there was the thing, the argument with her father. You saw that.

And then, of course, we found the vial in her room.

As hard as it is to admit it, it does seem like she's the killer.

Except there's some things that just don't add up.

Like what?

Well, there's the matter of her father's brain tumor.

She's the only one who knew about it.

Now, why kill a man who's going to be dead in six months anyway?

Robert did threaten to change his will.

Maybe she was afraid to wait.

Yeah, it could be.

But then there's the thing about the card key.

The card key.

Mm -hmm. The card key records whenever anyone unlocks their door.

Now, the computer reports that Amy let herself in at 12 .45 a .m. and stayed in

the night.

The pathology report says her father died around 1 .30.

Now, we know Amy didn't unlock her door again until after breakfast in the

morning. Hmm.

I see what you mean.

Doesn't seem likely that she would have wandered around the ship all night. No.

But, Mark, maybe she did what you just did.

blocked the door from closing and locking somehow.

And you did find that drug in her room.

Hmm. But her fingerprints were on it.

Whose were?

No one.

Oh.

Maybe she wiped them off.

But the thing is, why keep the vial at all?

I don't think she committed the murder.

Well, Mark, I don't understand.

If you don't think she's guilty, why are you looking for evidence in her room?

I'm looking for evidence pointing to whoever is trying to frame her.

Oh, of course.

Well, I was just on my way to see the captain. We'll talk later.

You know, I don't know how yet, but I have a feeling the key to this whole

is the Coumadin.

Captain, I need you to get a message to my father.

Well, if you're not using the reception desk, then I assume this is important.

It is.

I dug up some more information on Claire Brannigan's past, and I really need to

speak to him.

I'll try to find him right away, give him the message.

And, Captain, tell him not to be alone with Mrs. Brannigan under any

circumstances. I'm flying back to the ship as soon as possible.

Thank you.

It's Claire.

I was hoping you could come by my cabin for a cup of tea and we could talk for a

bit.

Wonderful.

See you in a minute.

I'm a woman of few regrets.

Even when I've made bad choices, I've tried to turn them to my advantage.

Interesting tea.

I'll tell you one thing I do regret.

Meeting you.

Now. Well, I'm sorry to hear that.

I stopped believing men like you existed.

Warm, decent, kind.

And then I met you.

In the worst of all possible circumstances.

You wanted to discuss the investigation.

How is the search going?

Well, the police will look at the records of every pharmacy in Southern

California. But if whoever killed your husband used an alias to get the

prescription, it's a dead end.

Oh, well, that's too bad.

But I was thinking, you know that most killers follow a pattern?

If they kill again, they tend to do it in exactly the same way.

I suppose if I thought about it, it makes sense.

Which is why I'm suggesting they exhume the first husband's body.

After all this time, I don't see how... She'll be residue.

It's difficult to get a body exempt, Mark.

Well, his sister is very eager to help, and I think the courts will be, too.

There is an easier way.

You could just confess to Robert's murder.

I had no reason to kill him.

Well, you know, some people might think that a million and a half dollar life

insurance policy would be a compelling reason, particularly since you took out

exactly the same amount on your first husband.

Yes, that would look bad.

But there is no insurance policy.

Oh, I think there is. Not in your name, but you'll find it.

You know, I have to confess.

I did lie to you about one thing.

Robert was never a charming man.

He was always the coarse brute you met two days ago.

Well, you know, the courts can be sympathetic to emotional abuse.

But if they think that there's a pattern of marriage, that's not a story.

Well, it's the same story twice.

I married the same kind of man both times.

I was trapped.

I could only find the wrong way out.

So, I guess this is it.

Glad to hear you say that.

I'll go to the police with you.

Oh, Mark, when I said, so I guess this is it, that's not exactly what I meant.

Whoa.

How are you feeling?

Dizzy. That would be the Valium I put in your tea.

Along with the Coumadin. And when you fall, Mark, and you will fall, you'll

bleed to death before anyone can find you.

You... What?

Get away with it?

Well, I'll just have to take my chances, because, you see, if I don't kill you,

I don't have any chance at all.

Oh.

Good night, sweet prince.

Too bad I didn't have an insurance policy out on you.

Don't move, Claire.

You're under arrest for the attempted murder of Mark Sloan.

All right, Mark, hold on. I'm going to give you another dose of vitamin K.

Another? You've already given him vitamin K?

It's necessary for clotting. It counteracts your favorite anticoagulant.

know that, don't you?

Being a registered nurse?

Oh, you've been busy.

I'm going to read you your rights.

Then there's a helicopter waiting to take you back to L .A., where you'll be

charged with two counts of murder and one count of attempted murder.

Valium. Never expected valium.

Okay, I got it under control.

Whoa.

Are we in a storm?

This is rough weather.

After that holding area, I'll never complain about the size of my cabin

Well, Claire, on a rampage, it might have been the safest place to be.

I was afraid I was never going to see any of this again.

Ladies and gentlemen, I thought you'd be okay.

And I was really afraid I was never going to see you again.

Hey, I'm a detective.

And what's that supposed to mean?

You were never going to get away from me.

Dr. Sloan?

Oh, I'm sorry, you're napping.

No, I'm way awake. Sit down.

I just came by to say thank you.

I don't know why you cared so much, but my sister and I will always be grateful

to you. No, no, it was my pleasure.

If it wasn't for you, I don't know what else to say except thank you.

I thought if I didn't have my dad around, I couldn't survive.

I thought the world was this very frightening place, but...

Thanks to you and your son and especially Dr.

Travis, well, I just have a whole new picture of what the world's all about.
