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?
