In the jungles of Peru, the fight for survival heightened his senses.

Now, Detective James Ellison is a sentinel in the fight for justice.

Seeing before others see.

Sensing what others can't.

An ever -vigilant watchman in war against crime.

No problem.

I'm sorry to

keep you waiting, Captain Banks. I wanted the branch manager to go over

Of course.

So, do I get the mortgage?

Well, that depends.

On what?

Your ex -wife.

Hi. How you doing? Fine, thank you. And you?

Well, actually, I could use some help.

Everything in the drawer in the bag.

Everything you got in the bag.

Oh, my God.

Let's go, lady.

Okay, okay.

I will. Okay.

Look. Mr. Thompson, what exactly does Joan have to do with this? I mean,

seen my portfolio.

Are you telling me a captain's salary isn't enough?

Well, with your outstanding debts and child support, we feel that you might

a hard time making the mortgage payments.

Hurry up!

Now, if your wife... X... were to agree to indemnify the bank in the

event that you were to default.

I mean, you must understand that we can't be responsible for your death.

Surely you understand the bank's position on this.

But we still do want your business, and we'll endeavor to do everything to make

it possible.

You have a final alarm here at your desk.

What? Out of the lawn, do you have wood here?

Yeah. Use it. Your bank is being robbed.

Please do something.

Will you just stay calm?

Try not to let them know I'm a cop.

This really is not my day.

Let's get an ambulance here now.

Just don't say anything.

Hey, guys. How's Simon?

She's still totally out of it. They got him delked up. We didn't see him for too

long. Yeah, they're only letting immediate family in, so we had to sneak

didn't really sneak in. We just didn't tell anybody we were there.

No, we really stopped getting. That's why we almost got arrested.

Hospital security junk.

Well, our new captain doesn't think so.

Since Simon's out of commission, they assigned us a substitute.

She's already laid on all kinds of new rules and regulations.

Yeah, get this. Starting this afternoon, all detectives must wear a tie and

jacket on duty.

Yeah, and if you don't, you get sent home to change.

Right.

I wonder if she's going to be giving out spankings.

Oh, yeah.

This is going to be fun.

She's just a sub, right?

Yeah. So what do you want to do? Start throwing spitballs and paper airplanes

her? Not a bad idea.

I'll be right in, Captain.

Let's go, Chief.

Here we go.

Come in.

If you want to see me... God

bless you.

Oh, excuse me.

I think it's Flowers. Yeah, he's allergic.

I'm sorry.

Just thought I'd brighten the place up a bit.

I'm Captain Finkelman. I'm Jim Ellison. This is Blair Sandberg.

Hey, how you doing?

Nice to meet you.

Mr. Sandberg. I've heard a lot of good things about you.

Really? Thanks.

I'm pulling his ride -along authorization.

Effective immediately.

What?

Relax, Chief. That's not going to happen.

As you know, Captain Taggart's recently transferred back to the detective squad.

He'll need someone to reacquaint him with proper procedure.

That's terrific. You ride along with the both of us. Yes.

Mr. Sandberg.

Wait outside, please.

No, no, you don't understand.

See, Jim and I, we sort of have this partnership, and I haven't even finished

thesis yet. Mr. Sandberg, normally a ride -along authorization is good for 90

days. Yours has been outdated at least 19 months.

Please. Don't care, Chief. I'll hear that.

I'll catch up with you later on.

You talk to Captain Banks, any detective in the department here, Sandberg is an

asset. Besides, you've got the full cooperation of the division here.

And he's had it for the last two years.

Right now, I need you to ride with Taggart.

If I say no?

I'll have no problem suspending you.

I'm sure you won't. You're correct.

Is that it?

That's it.

It's been a pleasure.

No. No, not now.

Not now. Go away.

I'll come back later.

Mr. Banks?

Simon?

Oh, go away, go away.

Mr. Banks.

Look, I... So... So, what are you doing here?

Where are you going now?

Mr. Banks, it's just me, Amy.

Your ex -wife left hours ago.

Where's Daryl?

You said you were going to bring Daryl. She brought your son to see you.

Relax.

He'll be back to check on you soon.

No.

Joan.

Joan.

Joan, I'm sorry.

Ever since the divorce, it's all... It's just crazy.

They're all so angry.

Messing up in school.

We... We should try.

We should.

It'll get better, Mr. Banks.

Joe?

Joe?

Yeah, so you want to compel things by killing her, too?

I mean, this is great.

Look, guys, you know this is not my idea.

I know, Joel.

The last thing I want to do is replace Blair.

We know, Joel.

It's just not my style, okay?

We know, Joel.

Good. I'm glad to see you guys are taking this so well.

Allison.

I have to make a call.

Tell Jim.

Tell him.

Tell him what?

There's going to be a murder.

He doesn't know about it yet?

Call my office, Cascade PD.

Okay, I'll do that, Mr. Banks.

Let me have the phone.

The phone, Mr. Banks.

I thought Mrs. Levitt was in this room. So this morning, I moved her to 7 West.

Oh, boy.

They never let us lowly doctors know anything.

We have

a big problem.

Step in the right direction, detective.

Lose the hat.

Captain.

Could I have a private word with you? If it's about Blair Sandberg, the answer

is still no.

can't find one of my charts maybe you forgot to put it back not a chance

it doing over here ah this place has been a zoo tonight

7 -0 -0 -9. Dad!

Dad!

It

looks

like we got him stabilized.

Oh, thank God.

What were you thinking when you wrote that order? You know, it's a good thing

took a closer look at the chart.

I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about. That combination of drugs

would have killed him if I hadn't caught it.

I didn't write this order. Well, then who did?

I don't know.

Oh, look at the time at the top of the chart. I was in 2114 on a code blue.

Maybe somebody picked it up by mistake.

All right, well, I'm going to check it out.

What's she doing in a meatpacking plant?

Jim, I know you don't like Finkelman, but, I mean, her being a dirty cop?

Come on.

It doesn't make any sense.

I know what I heard, Chief.

Well, maybe she just likes to buy wholesale. Oh, shh, shh, shh.

You look nice.

Thanks. You have the cash?

It's behind the bar.

It's not going to do me much good back there.

It's you something, huh, Rick?

You're cute.

And you got backbone.

A real nice backbone.

Focus. Business.

They just gave her an envelope.

There's got to be several thousand dollars of cash inside.

What's she doing?

It's me.

5 ,000. It's a 10 % down payment.

Question is, who are you?

Judy Marshall.

Hey, Judy Marshall.

I was contacted by a guy named Brock, Joe Brock.

I work for him.

Sorry. I don't do business with women.

This is the 90s. Get with it. I don't want to get with it.

Brock wants the stuff he can come get it himself, like a man.

You'll deal with me, or you'll find another buyer. I'll deal with you.

Get out of my face.

I'll deal with you.

See, I think your boss needs to know exactly who he's dealing with. Hey!

You see, Arthur Saban isn't just some small -time guy that he can play with.

Arthur Saban?

Who's that?

I'll tell you later.

Stay put.

Is this really worth killing me over?

Yeah.

Mm -hmm.

Who's that?

Who's that? I don't know.

Judy, are you all right?

And who might you be?

Brock.

Joe Brock.

Now I sent a woman to do your dirty work.

I thought she could handle it.

You were wrong.

Get the stuff.

Joe.

Just checking.

That's just a sample.

When do we get the rest?

Tomorrow. I'll tell you when and where. Get the hell out of here.

What the hell was going on there, Finkelman? Damn you.

You could have blown my whole setup. Well, I think I also could have just

your life.

My hero.

It appeared to me that you were in way over your head, and what I don't know.

Now, what the hell was in that cylinder?

Don't change the subject.

You barge in on an undercover operation without authorization, and you bring him

along to enjoy the show.

Hey, wait a minute, lady. Look, I don't know what your deal is here, but come

on, give it a rest.

Let me handle this. No, I'm okay. I'm all right. You know what? This is his

personal car. It's his personal time. We're friends. And if he invites me

guess what, ladies? I'm going.

You are not a cop!

What kind of cop goes into an undercover sting operation without a backup

contingency? Would you answer me that? Not only is it stupid, it is in

of department policy.

I squawked to the brass about this. You're going to be out.

I met Joe and his brother by accident. I was waiting for a friend. I heard them

talking about smuggling Freon gas.

Freon gas? What do you mean? Like what goes in refrigerators?

It's in the canister.

They still manufacture it offshore, but it's now legal to sell in this country,

and the profit margin is actually higher than drugs.

The Brock's own a meatpacking plant.

Their equipment is 30 years old, a total retrofit for a new ammonia -based

system would bankrupt them.

Anyway...

Joe was giving me the eye.

So I let him pick me up.

Convinced him I could act as a go -between with their Freon connection.

Keep their company's hands clean.

So you figured you'd do the deal for them and then nail Sabin for selling

contraband? Mm -hmm.

Who's Sabin?

Local distributor for the Montecruz cartel. They run two -thirds of the

out of Mexico.

I nail him, and we can start to break the Montecruz operation.

But why would you go in without backup, huh? Why put yourself at that kind of

risk?

Because I wanted to prove that I am worthy of being more than just a

captain.

Maybe that sounds drastic, but you try being a woman who has to take

charge of a totally monstered -out department for a day.

Well, that explains a lot to me.

Coming to a new social structure, trying to gain control, that's an uphill

battle.

You don't gain that control right away. Odds are you probably are never going

to.

So you understand that separating you two is nothing personal.

It's just awfully dangerous for a civilian who's untrained. I think I've

myself.

I'll help you call her Sabin.

But Sandberg continues to write.

How did you know about Brock and that I was calling myself Trudy?

Listening device.

Latest technology.

It's brand new.

Right. Yeah. Good, Joe. I'll be there.

I'm wearing clothing.

Well, I am offended.

Dinner?

Maybe.

Yeah. Okay. I'll see you in a bit.

I'm going to Brock's office to wait for Saban's call. Be in touch as soon as I

have instructions for the buy.

Come in.

I just got a call from the hospital.

Simon is missing.

Missing? Yeah, they moved him last night and somehow lost his paperwork.

Now they can't find him.

This doesn't strike anybody as a little bit odd around here, huh?

Hey, how do you lose a six -foot -four, 225 -pound man?

It's the new managed care system. Everything is computerized. Sometimes

flip through the cracks.

Well, when was the last time you actually saw Captain Banks?

Last night around midnight before I went off shift. He was resting comfortably

after... He was fine.

After what?

There was a mix -up in his medication, but we caught it in time. He was okay

when I left.

Well, who was responsible for this mix -up?

I don't know.

Well, what do you know?

Look, I am so sorry.

Security has been alerted. Your captain will turn up eventually.

Well, that's very comforting. Thank you very much.

Look, Tiger, why don't you and Sandberg scour the lower floors? I'm going to

check around up here. Okay.

Joe Brock's office.

Yeah, hello, Trudy. When and where?

Listen, there's a car ferry leaving for Bear Island at noon.

You tell Brock to bring the cash and meet me inside at the snack bar on the

deck. Okay, we'll do our thing.

I'll get off the boat before it leaves the dock.

Now, the truck is a rental.

He'll turn it in on the other side, transfer the Freon to another one.

Everything nice and clean, okay? But Brock delivers the stuff personally.

You got it?

Yeah, I got it.

You okay?

You got the rest of the cat?

I'll have the stuff this afternoon.

That's my girl.

second floor nurse's station?

Yeah.

Yeah, we gotta talk soon.

Oh, Donald Jones.

Give me a break. We're going down to Peru for fishing.

All right, yeah, I see it.

Let me see your graph.

Yeah, we're almost there.

I'm Detective James Ellison with the Cascade Police Department. I think you

the wrong patient on that table in there.

That's impossible.

This man just had major surgery for a gunshot wound. I think you've made a

mistake. This is an emergency surgery.

The patient has a malignant brain tumor.

I did the pathology myself.

A malignant brain tumor? That's impossible. This man is a friend of

There's never been any sign of a brain tumor. There's been a big mistake here.

Can't you see it?

Is there a problem, Doctor?

What's going on? I don't know.

Drew?

You're okay, Simon.

What happened?

You're in the hospital.

You were shot.

Three days.

Three days, huh?

I remember you.

Amy, right?

Here, this will help you rest.

I'll be here to pick you up in a couple of hours, Simon.

Pick me up? Why?

Well, we're going to move you to a different hospital.

What's wrong with this hospital?

You'll get better treatment there, sir. Why don't you just try and relax?

Yeah, I can relax.

Don't you?

I have to tell you what I heard.

There was this... This woman... Hello, this is Simon

Banks' room.

Detective Allison, it's for you.

Thank you.

Allison.

I can't use my cell phone. I'm in the hospital here.

I was just about to call you.

We'll meet you over there.

Ellis Finkelman, we gotta go.

Would you stay with him, Joel?

Yeah.

You really think something's going down here besides incompetence?

First they give him the wrong medication, then they almost give him a

This is a little too much of a coincidence, even for a bad hospital.

And this is supposed to be one of the good ones. Now I'm going to send some

uniforms to back you up.

Thanks.

It would cost us at least 350 grand to retrofit.

A couple years we sell, let the next guy worry about it.

You are a genius, man.

Rick Brock.

What?

Well, he's right here. I'll put him on.

Okay. Give me the phone.

No problem. He'll be there.

Relax, man. I said he'd be there.

Arthur Saban.

He said it was nice meeting you last night.

What? That's nuts.

He also told Trudy that he wouldn't deliver the Freon unless you were there

person.

He wanted to make sure you got that message.

Where the hell are they?

Noon Ferry to Bear Island.

Let's get out of here.

It's a good thing I got through to you. Saban's expecting me to bring Joe Brock.

Why does he want to do this on a ferry?

Because he's planning on taking the cash and getting off before it leaves the

dock. Smart.

Except he doesn't expect to be wearing cuff.

Well, let's go.

Okay, we'll have you all set. Just a minute. I said I don't want it.

What is that? It's just something to calm you down for the ride in the

ambulance. No!

Now, listen, don't touch that. I'm here to help you.

That's not a good idea.

Simon, we have to get you out of here.

Why?

Why?

Well, will you please tell me what is going on?

We think somebody's trying to kill you.

It's them.

They think I can identify them. Who? Who are they?

I don't know, Joel.

I'm just starting to remember. I overheard a conversation.

They were planning to murder someone in the hospital, another doctor.

Are you sure? I mean, you've been pretty doped up, man.

You just said someone was trying to kill me.

Yeah, but it could be anybody with a grudge. I mean, after all the calls

made. Oh, it has to be them.

It was a man and a woman.

It sounded like they were doctors, too. The person they were going to kill was

going to turn them in for something.

Hey, what's going on?

Joel, I'm not leaving this hospital until I find out who those people are

what's going on.

Come on, man.

I'll be fine. There's another life at stake here.

I've got a whole police department looking after me.

I'm the only one who can save whoever this is.

David should have been here by now.

Looks like we got company.

The Brocks are here.

What the hell are they doing here?

Stall them as long as you can. I'll go make the buy in college, Saban.

No.

Saban's mine.

Besides, the Brocks will want to make sure I still have the money. I'll hold

to it until you make contact with Saban and find out where the Freon is. Come

on.

I hope you learned something in your last two years with Ellison.

Well, you have a plan, right? Yeah.

We improvised.

Oh, that's great.

Where are we meeting?

What the hell are you trying to pull, Trudy?

Take it easy.

And you would be?

Arthur Saban.

Yeah, that's right.

That's about time you two showed up.

I was getting ready to tell your girl here to go fish.

Come on.

Glad you could make it, Brock.

Where's your girlfriend?

Where's the Freon?

Oh, where's the money?

It's downstairs, don't worry.

No games.

Go get it. You got five.

Well, I would really like to see the Freon.

You know, you're a very interesting man to figure out because first you send a

woman to do your business and then all of a sudden you get this huge set of...

If you want to get off the boat in time before it sails, you don't have much

time now. Do you want to argue or do you want to get paid?

I don't argue.

You give me a sec? Sure.

Now listen to me.

I want you to go look for Trudy. I bet you she's got the cash.

Okay.

Tough guy.

Let's go.

Okay.

The woman said the doctor was set to testify at some sort of board.

Medical review board.

Meets today.

Let me give you something.

No, no.

I want to be alert to figure this thing out.

Look, Simon.

They've already made two unsuccessful attempts to kill you. What makes you

they haven't committed the other murder yet?

Too obvious.

The doctor said to testify they want to make it look like an accident.

Or a suicide.

Whoever the intended victim is, they're implicated somehow.

So I want to make it seem like the person got cold feet.

Why don't you talk to the hospital administrator?

See if you can get a list of names for everybody that's supposed to be at this

review board.

Okay.

Hey, if they give you any flack about secrecy, throw in that line about court

order from downtown. That always works.

Okay.

What the hell's going on here?

Just relax.

He'll be here.

Joe, you know this guy?

He sure sounds different in person.

Yeah.

You know, something fishy about this whole setup.

Look, Joe, give me a break, okay?

What am I going to do with a truckload of Freon?

Not a thing, but 50 grand?

You can do a whole lot with them. Get the hell out of here. Yeah.

Look, wait.

Wait.

You satisfied?

I'm satisfied.

Hold on. I'll get you your money.

Yeah.

Uh -huh.

Okay, keep an eye on her. I'll be right there.

The call didn't go through. We're going to have to try again. There's no more

time.

What's going on here?

Oh, the boat's leaving.

I'll have to get the money from your girl myself. Don't you worry about

anything. Tommy's going to keep you company.

He's doing business with you.

I'm still going to have to make that call. Forget about it.

Laura, you wanted to see us?

You set me up.

You made bad investments.

And when you found an easy way to make back that money, you took home most of

it. If that man Banks had died, you could have blamed every unnecessary

that you've performed on my inaccurate pathology report.

And we still can.

And unless you agree not to talk to the board tonight, we will.

Now my decision's made, and so is ours.

It's too late to get your car off the boat.

What about him?

How's he getting off?

There's still time for me to walk off.

Okay, so where's the damn Freon?

Hello?

I'm on the lower car deck just outside of Section B.

Well, you've got some explaining to do, pal.

You want to work for Arthur Saban, you've got to quit screwing around.

Now listen to me, Bogie. Are you doing okay up there?

Fine. We'll be right there.

The real Arthur Saban is up there looking for Finkelman somewhere, so be

careful.

All right. Fine.

This way.

Captain Banks, you really shouldn't be out of bed. Yeah.

Then why are you helping me?

Because you're trying to save a life.

And I admire that.

Guess I must be feeling better.

Am I interrupting anything?

Get out of here.

All right, what'd you find out?

Well, the hospital administrator was very helpful. She was unable to give me

agenda for the meeting, but she did cut loose with a couple of names.

Okay, that's true.

Well, there's two surgeons, Julie Chaney and Bert Phelps.

And also there's a pathologist named Dr. Laura Quint.

Now, the first two, Phelps and Chaney, are partners.

I called down to their office, but they'd been in surgery all afternoon.

What about the other name? What was it, Quint?

Yeah, Laura Quint. I called down to the lab, but the voicemail was on.

All right, well, let's go down to the lab.

Dr. Brinkman, please report to neonatal intensive care.

Well, it doesn't look like it.

Dr.

Quinn?

Dr.

Quinn?

Dr.

Quinn?

Dial P -Row. Tell him we need a crash cart, stat.

minutes. Excuse me.

Dr. Chaney, Dr. Phelps, you're both under arrest for attempted murder.

Go on somewhere.

Don't you even think about it.

Sorry, boss. I tried to get through on the cell phone, but I couldn't, and you

told me to stand by the truck. That's all right.

Can we get on with this, please? Yeah.

Relax. Let's open this up for him.

All right. Now we're talking. Good. Now let's talk some money. Let's see it.

Help me out.

What's going on? Who are these guys?

Who the hell are you?

Arthur Saban.

We thought he was Saban.

You thought who?

Drop the gun, Saban.

Brock, you slay me.

I don't even know you.

Shut up.

This is nuts.

I'm Detective James Ellison with the Cascade PD.

Aw, jeez.

Put the gun down.

Let's go.

Detective, huh?

She want to?

Captain, actually.

Oh, jeez.

Put the gun down.

It's your call, Captain.

Go get him, Detective.

Sandberg and I are fine.

Hey, hey, hey. How do I get out this book? Down the back stairs.

The gangway may still be open below. Sure.

Excuse

me.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Whoa.

Welcome back, Captain.

Thank you.

Welcome back, Captain.

Good to have you back, Captain.

Well, thank you very much.

Simon Banks, Sheriff Finkelman.

Oh, hello.

Thanks for buying into the store while I was away. I heard you were busy.

I just got off the phone with headquarters.

Since Sabin's been in custody, his dealers have been scrambling for

Narcotics just busted several of them. They got careless.

Oh, congratulations.

Well, thank you.

Wouldn't have happened without Ellison.

And Sandberg.

They're quite a team.

Don't I know it.

Any word on your new command?

They're giving me my own substation.

That's great.

Oh, family, these came in from Amy from the hospital for you.

Oh,

so it is flowers.

All this time I thought it was me.

It's just captains in general.

Who is your knight?
