That's my son. I get a little worked up.

That kind of game.

Back off, man.

Hey, what's the matter with you, Billy?

Just play the game. Hey, I'm playing the game, all right? It's called rugby. Why

don't you try playing?

You just got your butt kicked royally by the Santa Monica Old Boys. What now?

Well, I think it's obvious. My cousin comes to her first rugby game. We play

like a bunch of old ladies.

I think the only logical move is to destroy the evidence.

You must have been bored to death.

Bored? I was too confused to be bored, not to mention scared for your life.

do you guys have against helmets?

We don't need helmets.

We have beer.

You've been drinking?

Oh, no way.

One beer and I'd pass out.

I pulled another 18 -hour shift last night.

Are we complaining?

Are you kidding?

That internship's the best thing that could have happened.

Thanks for the letter. Mm -hmm.

You deserved it.

I'm glad I came. I'm glad you came.

You're good.

I really appreciate it, okay?

So you want to come to the rugby party?

Uh, I don't think so.

That this little guy is having a rugby game of his own, so maybe some other

time, okay?

Mandy, come on.

I'll buy you a soda.

Come on, we'll sit back, we'll chill.

Well, will it be safer than the game?

Well, that depends. Now, if anybody asks you if you want to be rugby queen, just

say no.

I can handle that.

Where's the party? Just up PCH.

Follow me.

I'll try to stop showing off.

We couldn't hold on.

Mark.

You know, when I saw him lying there, I knew.

But I didn't want to believe.

I'm sorry, Amanda.

Thanks, David.

I got a copy of the accident report.

Sounds like he just took the turn too fast.

That's not what happened.

Well, you know that PCH, you hit a patch of gravel. He didn't hit a patch of

gravel, Mark.

Something hit him, and I don't know what it was, but his head knotted a couple

of times, and then he lost control of a motorcycle.

Well, we're going to find out exactly what happened to him for sure. Right

I want you to go home.

I want you to take it easy, get some rest. Deeper, drop her off, sure.

I'll call you later.

Okay. Thanks for being here.

Why is it doing that? I have no idea.

Where did Mrs. Garacio go? I don't know.

Well, she's supposed to be in suite 345.

Every time I type in a patient's name, it comes up empty.

That can't be. This is a computer. It's supposed to be full of information.

I think we have a virus.

Don't say that. Look at this. Mrs. Johnson in 410 is having six baked pork

chops, two pounds of butter, and a lemon custard pie for breakfast. Well, maybe

she's a big eater. Who had liposuction and her jaw wired set.

Oh, my God.

We have a virus.

I never had a virus before.

What do we do?

We call the computer guy.

That's good.

That's good.

Let's not let this get out.

Because I don't want anyone to think all hell is breaking loose.

But you may not.

Yes, Dr. Harding. It's right down there.

Dr. Harding!

And what brings you to community general? Hello, Norman. I'm afraid it's

social visit. You still have your post -op down in the basement? Oh, it's still

there. This way is much shorter. Running as efficiently as ever. Oh, by the way,

I have an article coming out in the Harvard Medical Journal next month on

hospital efficiency.

You might want to review it.

Very good article.

Thank you.

Is it gone yet?

Excuse me, sir.

This area here is restricted to medical personnel only.

And what do I look like, a janitor?

Well, maybe a very well -dressed one, but... Nathan?

What are you doing here?

Trying to get past your medical personnel.

This is Jesse Travis, one of our new interns. Jesse, this is Nathan Harding.

Dr. Nathan Harding?

Oh, my God, I am so sorry. I didn't... Obviously.

I read all your articles on balloon angioplasty. It's incredible stuff.

You're an intern?

Yes, sir.

And you're reading my material on angioplasty?

Yes, sir.

I wrote that for specialized cardiovascular surgeons.

Jesse's one of our top interns. You know, if he decides to go into

Nathan, he could give you a run for your money.

I'll watch my flags.

It was very nice meeting you, sir.

I didn't know you had patients over here.

I don't.

My son called me. His friend was in an accident.

Troy Summers?

I thought I could help.

Troy just died, Nathan. We lost him on the table.

Why didn't they bring him to St. Victor's?

We've got the most advanced neurosurgery unit in the county.

I doubt it would have made much difference.

He had multiple traumas.

I can't believe it.

He was just playing rugby a couple of hours ago.

This is going to devastate Kyle.

You know, that new crop of interns seems pretty close -knit. I have a feeling

it's going to hit them all pretty hard.

Hi, Mark. Hi.

You know, for a lady who just went home to rest, you don't look very rested.

I pulled an all -nighter.

Talking to the family?

I spent the night in the lab overseeing Troy's autopsy.

Couldn't go home and do nothing. Couldn't go.

Well, point zero blood alcohol. That's a relief.

He was in hypoglycemic shock.

What? I checked his renal tissue and I discovered that there was something

definitely wrong.

So I ordered a sample of his spinal fluid.

His glucose was incredibly low.

Well, you know, the natural appetite, he was playing rugby.

Try nine milligrams.

He was losing consciousness on the bike. So it seemed.

How could his blood sugar level get that low? Mark, he downed an entire sports

drink right after the game.

Did you look at the stomach contents?

Yeah. I went through the alphabet of hypoglycemic agents and I stopped at

He was full of tryptazine.

Was he diabetic?

No. That's why I don't understand why he would have taken it. There's absolutely

no logical reason.

What happened to that bottle?

Hey Amanda, how are you doing?

Hey, I'm sorry about your cousin.

Thanks. I got a chance to work with him last week and he was really good.

Yeah, well, that's all that he wanted to be was a good doctor.

You looking for something?

Yes, I'm a choice person.

You want a hand? No, I've got it.

Troy worried whether or not he'd be able to cut it as a doctor.

Don't we all?

You worried?

Well, sure.

Because I care about what I'm doing, and if I'm doing it the best that I can.

He didn't even think he'd get through med school.

Graduated with honors.

Hey, man, if you want me to... You know, he actually thought that I pulled a

bunch of strings to get him an internship here at Community General.

Fact of the matter is, just about every hospital in LA offered him an

internship.

If there's anything I can do to help... No.

Family's coming out.

Everything's pretty much taken care of.

Well, not everything.

I, uh... I talked to Dr. Sloan, and he told me about the tryptazine.

Pretty mysterious how it got there, huh?

Maybe not.

Listen, um, would you take the rest of these things to my car, please? Yeah.

Hey, wait a minute. Are you on to something? I'll get back to you in a

hours. Wait, you figured it out?

I said I'll get back to you in a couple of hours, and in the meantime, tell Mark

I found the bottle.

Wait a minute, what do you mean tell, but what bottle, Amanda?

Why am I always the last one finding what's going on around here?

Having any luck?

Hi, Mark. Yeah, we have a new blend, lemon -lime and tryptazine.

And in this case, just as good as a bullet.

And a lot harder to find, too. You know, whoever did that knew what they were

doing, that it wouldn't show up on a routine autopsy. People might assume you

took a curve too fast. Or hit some gravel.

Unless the person is an expert pathologist.

I'll call Steve.

It's in your upper memory.

Oh, my God. It's wiped out your allocation table.

You're kidding.

And it's eating away at your boot sectors.

Yes, I can see.

And I have no idea what you're talking about.

In layman's terms, you're screwed.

That computer runs this hospital.

I thought you did.

I do. And they need billing statements, patients' records, inventories,

everything on that computer. I want it back.

That's the problem with you people. You think we're gods.

You think we can just wipe this thing out with a wave of our hands.

You think we can take an infected hospital and turn things around

You have got a deadly virus on the loose. It's out of control.

Now, I'm going to do everything I can.

Don't expect miracles.

This hospital is in serious trouble.

Good morning.

And are we checking in?

Hi, Norman.

You seen my dad?

Pathology. Thanks.

Norman, you feeling all right?

I have a virus.

Green tea, vitamin C, and maybe a shot of scotch.

Somebody took a dozen tryptozine tablets, 700 milligrams at least,

them in water, and injected the solution into the bottle.

Hi, what'd you find out?

Well, no prints on the bottle other than Troy's and Amanda's.

Did you happen to see Troy got the bottle? Yeah, he took it out of his

Was anybody hanging around the knapsack during the game?

Steve, I was there to have a good time. I was not looking for murder suspects.

Look, the only time that I saw the knapsack was when he started towards me

the game.

Amanda, I'm sorry. We're pushing you a little hard.

It's okay, Mark. I just want to know who did this, and so does the family.

Can you think of anybody who might have had it in for him?

No.

I mean, everybody loved Troy.

Everybody.

What about back home? Maybe an argument from the old neighborhood.

They used guns.

They don't use tripletine.

You know, whoever did this had to know all of Troy's habits. They had to know

about the drink. They had to know about the motorcycle.

Yeah, that's a lot to know, so I better get on it. I'll call you later.

See you.

Yeah, that wouldn't be a lot to know if you were a regular at those rugby games.

Well, that narrows things down to about 40 people.

She won't make a lift. We divide it up.

I know that they're going to have a memorial service for him tomorrow at the

beach. We could get through half of them in one shot.

Let's do it.

This is a pretty good turnout.

Not bad looking coleslaw either.

That looks like Troy's girlfriend.

And she's getting ready to leave. Listen, I'm...

I'll be back in a little bit, Mark. Would you get me some of everything?

Okay.

Hey, there's Kyle.

Let me go talk to him.

Do you want a little bit of whatever?

Yeah, thanks.

Yeah,

I need the other picture.

See you later, Kyle.

Hey, Kyle.

Hey. What's up, Travis? How you doing?

Been to better parties?

I'm sorry about Troy. I know you guys are really good friends.

Yeah, we're like war buddies.

After four years of med school.

You heard about that police investigation?

That they drugged him?

Yeah, I heard, but I don't buy it.

I mean, who the hell would want to kill Troy?

The same person who flipped him the tryptophan.

The what?

Tryptophan. They found drugs in his sports drink.

Did he bring that from home?

Uh, you know, I couldn't tell you. He was already gone by the time I got home

that morning.

See anybody hanging around his knapsack at the game? What are you doing, Travis?

What do you mean, what am I doing?

Why all the questions?

I'm just trying to figure out what happened to your friend, that's all.

What happened is he died.

And guess what?

You're an intern, not a cop.

It was nice talking to you, too.

I see you're taking advantage of the buffet line.

Actually, I'm helping the people that I came with.

You know something?

Let them help themselves.

You keep eating that fried food, you're going to end up in my office.

Oh, well, at least I'll be in good hands.

I didn't realize you knew Troy well enough to be at his wake.

No, I was just helping the police department investigate his death.

What's to investigate?

Well, it seems he was drugged right after the rugby match. It's what caused

accident. Who pulled that out of their hat?

I would love to say that I did, but Troy's cousin is a dedicated

Incidentally, how's Kyle taking it?

As well as can be expected. I just hope his work isn't affected.

How's he doing?

I really haven't had a chance to look at the intern on the new rotation yet.

Kyle's a good kid.

Well, if he takes after you, he'll be a star.

Look, I know we don't exactly see eye to eye on our approach to medicine.

I just don't think you'd have to be in the headlines to be a good doctor. I

don't write the headlines.

I take chances, experiment.

If Dallas Memorial wants to dedicate a new wing to me, that's news, isn't it?

Yeah, I'd say so. And if I can keep a patient alive a few years longer on an

experimental heart, then that's news.

You have a problem with that, Mark?

No, no, as long as the patient and not the news comes first. Excuse me.

I can't believe what you're saying.

Who would want to kill Troy?

I just know that you were close to him.

My mother used to say, when you find a good one, don't let him go.

Troy was the best guy I ever met.

Sometimes I couldn't believe he felt the same about me. I'm so sorry.

Yeah, me too.

You know, we're going to get through this, okay?

And we're going to find out who killed Troy.

Thank you.

What'd you find out?

Well, they're out of shrimp.

And everyone loved Troy.

Would you believe not one person remembers seeing anyone around that

That's it. It's a conspiracy.

It's a cover -up. They're all in this together.

Are you free associating, or do you have some evidence?

Oh, I'm free associating.

I'll shut up.

Look, think back. What was the last thing you saw before he took the drink

the bottle?

Okay, uh... I remember...

I was standing next to Harding. Uh -huh.

And then he left.

And somebody called Troy.

And I turned around, and then he just started walking into frame with a

knapsack.

Into frame?

Mm -hmm. You had your camera with you?

Do you want to do that? No, I just want to... Stop it, will you? Yeah, yeah.

Right there, see?

Yeah, he's taking a cheap shot at Troy.

Hey, what's the matter with you, Billy?

That guy looks like a pit bull.

I remember him.

He had a big attitude with Troy at the game.

She was Troy's girlfriend.

Can anyone read lips?

I'm older.

Foot odor.

No,

it's something.

Open.

Own.

Oh, over.

It's over.

He's telling her it's over.

Well, that's not what she told me. She said that they were headed towards

something serious.

Yeah, train wreck.

You know, maybe I should have another talk with Brenda.

She worked at St. Victor's.

Good idea.

Look, why don't you try and find out what Slugger was so worked up about

You know, that's a good idea.

I've always wanted to try rugby.

Why didn't you let go of the ball?

Because I was... You sure you played before?

Yeah, in college.

In fact, I even won the Oldenburg Award. What?

The Hans J. Oldenburg Award for sportsmanship.

It's pretty obvious why you never heard of it. It's not a nice game.

Oh, tell me about it. I heard a guy you played against last week died.

Go for the ball, all right?

Ice it down.

I don't think I'm going to make it past this initiation committee.

You met Billy, huh?

He's a real animal.

Tell me about it.

I saw him play last week against the Westwood Blues.

How did he have against that Troy Summers guy?

They were rivals.

Had nothing to do with rugby, though. They were applying for the same job or

something. I thought that Troy had a job.

Yeah, he said he was up for some position at St.

Victor's. What, as a resident?

Talk about insane. They only have two slots a year in cardiology. Yeah, and

a hundred applicants.

Try a thousand.

Talk about ego. Billy said he knew he had the gig.

He didn't even apply anywhere else.

That's confidence.

It's insane.

Excuse me. I'm looking for Brenda Arthur.

I'm sorry. He's still out.

Still out?

At least until next week.

Can I help you with something?

Yes, my name is Amanda Bentley. I'm with Community General Hospital.

I don't know if I should say this, but I wanted to let her know that there's a

position opening up.

Isn't that a little odd to be going after her now?

Odd?

Oh, honey, that'll come out in the wash, always does.

They told Brenda to stay home during the investigation.

Overhead. Thanks. Is that still going on? When drugs end up missing on your

shift, they get pretty thorough.

You don't actually think that Brenda lifted those drugs, do you?

Sometimes she'd leave a shift a little early to go to one of those 12 -step

meetings. Now, she claims she's been clean for five years.

Was she acting a little high that night?

She was a bit flaky, but we wrote it off to personal problems.

Just another love affair headed down the tubes.

You wouldn't happen to know what kind of drugs were missing.

And that's the funny thing. Nothing narcotic.

Weird stuff.

Like tryptophan?

Yeah.

Imagine, you can't get high on it. What's left?

Selling it.

You know where I'm from, it's baseball, baseball, baseball.

By the time I was in fourth grade, I was so sick of it.

That's why I love the idea of surfing.

The idea or the actual sport?

Well, I'm still working on the mechanics of it, but I think that rugby is going

to be a really good backup for me. I was starting to catch on at the end of that

practice there, right up until I heard that snap.

Have you ever considered golf?

Well, I don't think I have enough plaid in my wardrobe.

Okay, I think I found the killer.

Brenda.

Wrong. It's Billy. I've already told Dr. Sloan.

No, it was Brenda. She is under investigation for stealing the

do you need a signed confession?

Well, a reason for killing it would be helpful.

Mark, you saw the way my cousin blew her away on the tape.

Now, she couldn't take the rejection, and this is her way of getting back at

him. I'm telling you, it wasn't about love. It was bigger stakes.

Different stakes.

It was about cardiology.

I called St.

Victor's. They told me that Troy was up for the same residency that Billy got.

Why would Troy want to work at St.

Victor's? Well, Harding's built up a great department over there. Everybody

wants to work for him.

Hey, not everyone.

Thank you.

Mark, I know you're trying to help, but we've been running around all day.

You're still on the sports drink?

Well, I keep coming back to it.

You know, in order to get the right concentration of the tryptazine in the

bottle, first you've got to withdraw two syringes full of the sports drink.

You've got to get rid of that. Then you have to inject two syringes of the

tryptazine solution.

You know how long that takes?

75 seconds. Now, what are the chances that you're not being seen for that long

in the middle of a rugby game?

The killer had to switch the bottles. He or she knew what drink Troy was going

to bring.

Which means that someone had to have access to his apartment.

Kyle? Not Kyle. What would Kyle have against Troy? They're very good friends.

Don't know.

Jesse.

Keep Kyle kind of busy around the hospital, will you? I don't want him to

that we're going to be stooping around his apartment.

No problem.

Maybe I will try that golf thing.

Hmm. Looks like his things are all packed up.

Yeah, that's strange.

I wonder who did the packing. I don't know.

Syringes or darts?

Hmm. Hmm.

It's hard to get these things professionally cleaned. What does that

Hydro... Hydrocordaline.

You think Troy was suffering from migraines? No, but maybe Kyle was, and

one of these needles was used as a murder weapon.

I'm trying to find a lab report.

Is the system still down?

Didn't you get the memo?

Yeah, he said it was a temporary shutdown.

It is. It was yesterday. How temporary is temporary?

We're dealing with a virus, Travis.

You never know with these things. Just check your chart. Walk to the pathology

lab to test yourself.

It's not like hospitals didn't exist before computers.

You're young.

You're very young.

Okay, now squeeze three times and make a fist.

Hey, Dr. Harding, do you got a minute?

Just a second. I have to take some blood. No, Dr. Harding, this is kind of

important.

Please. Yes, I... I'll be right back, Mr. Pack.

Dr. Rosen, please dial 884.

Dr. Rosen, please dial 884.

What were you doing?

I was taking some blood. What does it look like I'm doing? Did you look at her

chart? I've got her tracked on the system.

When did you last check the system? When I got in. Look, what's your problem,

Travis? The system has been down for two days.

You ever see one of these?

I'm just taking 10 cc's of blood.

She was put on heparin sodium last night. I wasn't here last night.

Do you know what heparin sodium is?

Do you want to remind me?

It is a blood thinner. You poke an artery and she starts bleeding heavily.

Well, I guess I didn't see it on her chart.

Didn't see it or didn't know what you were looking for. Look, I don't have to

take this crap from you. Wrong. You're on duty for another four hours. My watch

is bad.

A bad cad?

That's either a code for something or very bad poetry.

You got any of Troy's handwriting around?

Oh, yeah.

What are you doing here?

We were gathering some of Troy's belongings.

Well, why was Troy moving out?

What do you mean?

Well, I just wondered who packed all these boxes.

I did.

Oh, you did? That's interesting because all the labels are in Troy's

handwriting. And all the stuff's organized as if whoever packed it owned

this stuff.

So he was moving out.

We weren't getting along.

Why not?

Rent? Bills?

Look, he wasn't good at paying up. I was getting sick of it.

If he owed you money, why did you write him this check?

Why didn't he cash it?

I owed him money.

And you tell me why he didn't cash it.

Look, I've got to lie down.

A little migraine coming on?

Actually, yeah.

Get out of your way.

Whoa.

Feel better.

Thanks.

A, B, A, D, C, A, D.

A real bad kid I been had.

That's the beginning of the sequence in my cellar. No.

No, I just took the letters off that scrap of paper Kyle's we found. I was

trying to transpose them.

Okay, can I make a suggestion?

No. Don't give up your day job.

Hey, you guys don't believe it, I just thought.

What happened?

Well, I walked in on Kyle Harding, about to take blood from a patient on heparin

sodium. What?

Yeah, I mean, I don't know if this guy's just stupid or if it's an honest

mistake. Well, maybe you should have a talk with him.

I think I better have a talk with his father. You know, there may be something

going on here I should know about.

You don't want Kyle running around the hospital, do you?

I wouldn't worry about it. He's off until Thursday.

Good. Could be a blessing in disguise.

I'm sorry.

And then I'd recommend... I'll call you back.

Mark, how nice to see you.

Hi, Nathan.

Is this a social visit?

No, I'm afraid not.

Nathan, I am worried about Kyle.

What's the problem?

I don't know how to say this.

Well, just say it.

We've been friends too long to tap dance around a point.

And now you ask me how he's doing at the hospital.

I'm worried about his skill. He is not making it.

That's impossible.

Just look at his records. He soared through med school.

I talked to Professor Young. He said that Kyle was inconsistent.

He's passed every exam he's ever taken. Did Young mention that?

Kyle almost cost the life of a patient today.

Why didn't you give him a couple of days off?

His best friend just died, for heaven's sake. He's preoccupied. I believe that.

Nathan, I believe he had something to do with Troy's death.

Now you've taken it too far, Mark.

Accusing my son of murdering his best friend is way over the line. They had a

serious falling out. So what?

Have you ever had a falling out with a friend?

Of course I have.

And did you kill that person?

No, I didn't. Then stop trying to fabricate a plot.

Let the police do their job and stick to yours.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I was in the middle of an important phone call.

I don't have time for this.

Yes, for Sacramento, please.

Yes, the number for the Board of Medical Examiners.

Thank you.

Uh, Justin, Pierce's office, please.

Justin?

Mark Sloan.

I'm fine.

Listen, can you do me a favor?

Oh, good, you're both here.

Yeah, by the tone of your voice, I flew over here. Yeah, me too. What do you

got?

A motive, I think.

And I knew you'd want to be the first to know.

All right, students, heads up.

Which of the following phenomena best explains osmosis? A, diffusion, B,

friction, C, capillary action, or D, Brownian motion?

A.

You brought us all the way over here for a test?

Just bear with me, please.

Number two, most plasma coagulation factors are made in the A, blood vessel

walls, B, liver, C, bone marrow, D, spleen.

What is B, liver?

You are correct, sir.

A bad cat.

And we have a winner. Wait a minute. These questions were on the medical

Exactly right.

This little scrap of paper here was the answer key.

Well, then Kyle must have gotten a copy of the test.

That's right.

And if Troy found out about it, it could have cost him his life.

Hi, may we talk to you for a minute?

Another time, all right, guys?

I'm not feeling well.

We might try confessing. That always makes you feel better.

Confessing what?

Oh, yeah, it's a lot like rugby.

You know, you get taken down. You always want to let go of that ball.

Or you get mauled.

I don't catch your drift.

We know you were cheating on your medical board. We found some evidence in

apartment.

How do you know it wasn't Troy's? It came from your printer.

Troy could have used my printer.

You know something? He's right.

We better have another look around.

Yeah, not without a warrant, you don't. Carl, I wouldn't make it harder on

yourself. Troy found out you were cheating on your medical board. You

pay him off a $2 ,000 check and he tore it up, didn't he?

What happened when he didn't take the bribe?

Is that when you decided to poison him?

What?

I told him he had to move out.

Geez, I didn't kill him. I had no reason to.

What if he threatened to blow the whistle on you?

That's not what happened.

Where'd you get the test?

All right, have it your way.

We'll get a list of the people who took the test and the ones who knew you.

Somebody will cooperate with us.

The only problem with going to all that trouble, Kyle, is that they won't leave

much room for a break for you.

What kind of break?

How much did he pay you for the test?

Answer the question, Billy.

I didn't get any money. I was just doing someone a favor.

Out of the goodness of your heart.

That's right.

Who did you do the favor for?

I gave a guy an envelope.

Well, what's the big deal?

Somebody died because of that envelope, Billy. Whoa, whoa, no. I am not part of

anything. Billy, Troy Summers found out about that cheating and he was trying to

stop it.

Somebody stopped him first.

Wasn't me.

Billy, we're not just talking about the end of your career here. We're talking

about jail time.

A lot of it.

Now, who gave you the envelope?

I am really getting tired of these spontaneous visits, Mark. I promise you

will be the last one.

I'm starting to put it together now, Nathan.

Kyle was cheating on his medical boards, wasn't he?

What is it you have against my son, Sloan? This has a little more to do with

you.

We talked to Billy.

You promised him that you would get him in St. Victor's residency program if he

helped you. And if he said anything, you promised to destroy him.

I don't make promises to anyone.

Since you were on the medical board that drew up this test, you didn't want Kyle

to know that you were the one feeding him the answers.

So Kyle thought it was just some other cheating student.

Kyle's had a tough year, Mark.

His migraines set him back.

You're standing next to a life preserver and you see your son drowning. Wouldn't

you throw it?

Kyle was born to be a doctor, Mark.

Nathan, if that were true, you would not have to keep bailing him out over and

over again.

To the point of killing Troy.

You think I killed Troy?

You know, I thought Kyle did it to protect his secrets.

But I saw his performance at the hospital. I realized I'm not capable of

No, Troy must have come to you.

If he went public with that cheating story, you knew it would come back to

Your career, your status, everything would be ruined.

Troy thought that cheating would ultimately hurt Kyle.

What did you tell him?

That I would do anything to remove an obstacle to Kyle's success.

Nathan.

You were on duty the night the drugs were stolen.

You killed him, didn't you?

What?

Call the paramedic.

Dr. Sloan's having a heart attack in my arm.

Of course I killed him.

He was almost as much trouble as you.

We'll just give it a couple more minutes.

And then I'd recommend an emergency angiogram.

Oh, don't worry.

You're in good hands.

Don't move.

I was beginning to think this thing wasn't going to work.

Oh, it worked just fine.

I just shot you with five cc's of amphetamine.

Actually, Nathan, it was five cc's of saline solution.

You know, we did a pretty thorough check of your office last night.

And I kind of thought you might go for the amphetamines. But then I realized it

could have been the potassium.

Or the insulin.

That would have worked.

All harmless saline solution now.

That looks like you're back in the headlines again, Nathan.

Nathan Harding, you're under arrest for the murder of Troy Summers.

You have the right to remain silent. Dad.

Anyway, Mr. Briggs wanted me to emphasize that the computer system in

hospital is not a toy.

Mr. Project, how did the virus get in the system in the first place?

Very good question.

Thank you.

I don't know.

Well, more importantly, is there anything we could do to make sure we're

infected again?

You had a monkey bee virus.

I've been finding it a lot on this freebie program off the web called

One. It's a killer.

You mean somebody put this MaxForce into their computer and it burned up the

whole system?

You're all networked. All your terminals are hooked up together.

These viruses breed like rabbits.

All right, well, we're up and running now.

Thank you, Mr. Plargent, very much, ladies and gentlemen.

Thank you, sir.

Norman, I am very impressed.

You got this computer thing nipped in the bud before it became a disaster.

Thank you, amigo.

And I want you to know that I'm here for you. I promise you we will continue to

be the best hospital west of the Mississippi.

I think you're right, my friend.

Thank you, Mark.

by trying to save a buck.

This is the last system you'll ever effect.
