1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,120
Sounds a good lunch, huh?

2
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:03,440
Good thing we're on the old expense
account.

3
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:06,320
Dave, I think we need to talk.

4
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:10,680
Oh, there's a lot of things we need to
do. That's why I got us a room at the

5
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:11,880
Excelsior for dessert.

6
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,820
I really feel that we need to take some
time off.

7
00:00:17,100 --> 00:00:22,380
Yeah, time off sounds good. Let's take
two weeks in Acapulco.

8
00:00:23,540 --> 00:00:25,220
Dave, you're not listening to me.

9
00:00:26,140 --> 00:00:28,060
I think that Withers is getting
suspicious.

10
00:00:29,070 --> 00:00:30,570
Oh, yeah, you see, that doesn't matter.

11
00:00:31,390 --> 00:00:33,410
Our sneaking around days are over.

12
00:00:34,190 --> 00:00:38,690
Today, I'm going to march into that
office and tell everyone the good news.

13
00:00:40,090 --> 00:00:41,090
That we're engaged.

14
00:00:42,750 --> 00:00:43,750
We're what?

15
00:00:44,990 --> 00:00:46,650
Don't you just love surprises?

16
00:00:51,130 --> 00:00:54,710
Yeah, actually, I do.

17
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,060
Come on, let's hurry before the
champagne gets warm.

18
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:02,520
Watch out!

19
00:01:08,100 --> 00:01:09,100
Surprise.

20
00:01:57,150 --> 00:01:58,150
How's he doing?

21
00:01:58,170 --> 00:02:01,250
BP's 90 over 60, rhythm is sinus. He's
lucky he didn't lose his leg.

22
00:02:01,490 --> 00:02:03,470
If I don't get this artery sewn up, he
will.

23
00:02:04,370 --> 00:02:06,410
Hey, there's something wrong with the
ventilator. He's not getting enough

24
00:02:06,410 --> 00:02:09,530
oxygen. He's becoming hypoxic. Okay,
adjust the oxygen level manually.

25
00:02:09,810 --> 00:02:11,730
Yes, doctor. It's not working. You have
to stop the operation.

26
00:02:12,050 --> 00:02:15,230
I can't stop. If I do, he loses his leg.
If you don't, he'll go into V -fab. I

27
00:02:15,230 --> 00:02:16,230
can't just let him bleed.

28
00:02:16,470 --> 00:02:17,630
Give me a couple more seconds.

29
00:02:18,290 --> 00:02:19,049
Cardiac arrest.

30
00:02:19,050 --> 00:02:20,050
Turn the power off.

31
00:02:20,150 --> 00:02:21,150
Deep, babe.

32
00:02:21,550 --> 00:02:22,550
300 joules.

33
00:02:23,050 --> 00:02:24,050
Clear?

34
00:02:25,910 --> 00:02:26,910
Congratulations, Doctor.

35
00:02:27,530 --> 00:02:31,290
You have just lost both the leg and the
patient.

36
00:02:32,730 --> 00:02:34,110
Okay, good job, everybody.

37
00:02:35,010 --> 00:02:36,210
Thanks for helping, Amanda.

38
00:02:36,510 --> 00:02:38,010
Thank you. It's always a lot of fun.

39
00:02:38,370 --> 00:02:41,730
I haven't had that much fun since my
appendix ruptured. Believe me, Doctor,

40
00:02:41,730 --> 00:02:44,250
patient would have had a lot less fun
than you. Next time, be prepared.

41
00:02:44,750 --> 00:02:48,810
Yeah, but, Dr. Grimes, this isn't a fair
test. I mean, it's a no -win situation.

42
00:02:49,190 --> 00:02:51,750
It's not about winning. It's about
making critical choices without

43
00:02:52,030 --> 00:02:54,950
A few seconds of indecision can cost a
patient their life.

44
00:02:55,829 --> 00:02:56,890
We'll do this again real soon.

45
00:03:00,130 --> 00:03:02,270
That was a stirring speech, Doctor.

46
00:03:02,670 --> 00:03:05,390
Especially considering the way you
handled the test when you were an

47
00:03:05,890 --> 00:03:09,310
Oh, I don't know. I think the object of
the test was to prove if a doctor could

48
00:03:09,310 --> 00:03:10,610
think on his feet. I proved I could.

49
00:03:11,450 --> 00:03:14,990
You had the nurse apply a tourniquet,
and then you snapped a chip into the

50
00:03:14,990 --> 00:03:17,210
machine. A new one. You just happened to
have with you.

51
00:03:18,130 --> 00:03:19,130
Cheating.

52
00:03:19,350 --> 00:03:20,350
Being prepared.

53
00:03:22,950 --> 00:03:24,950
So what would you do if Jesse pulled the
same thing?

54
00:03:25,500 --> 00:03:26,500
Sponsored for cheating.

55
00:03:27,380 --> 00:03:29,920
Thanks to you, I'm the new chief of
staff. I have to play by the rules.

56
00:03:31,740 --> 00:03:32,740
What's the story, DC?

57
00:03:32,920 --> 00:03:33,920
Car accident victim.

58
00:03:34,900 --> 00:03:38,400
We've got contusions, possible broken
ribs, collapsed lung, and severe bodily

59
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:39,760
trauma. Dave.

60
00:03:40,620 --> 00:03:45,260
Okay, start an IV, TKO, D5W. I want to
get chest X -ray, arterial blood gases,

61
00:03:45,500 --> 00:03:46,980
hemoglobin, and hematocrit.

62
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:53,180
Hey. You know him, too? Yeah, he's a rep
for Benchmark Pharmaceuticals. Dave

63
00:03:53,180 --> 00:03:54,180
Chambers, nice guy.

64
00:03:54,830 --> 00:03:56,550
I'd better see if Jesse needs help.
Sure.

65
00:03:58,270 --> 00:04:03,470
I didn't even see the car.

66
00:04:03,710 --> 00:04:06,650
He was standing next to me. He was
stepping on the car.

67
00:04:07,230 --> 00:04:08,230
It's all right.

68
00:04:08,310 --> 00:04:09,430
It's all right.

69
00:04:09,710 --> 00:04:10,710
He's in very good hands.

70
00:04:15,570 --> 00:04:20,870
Hey, buddy.

71
00:04:21,190 --> 00:04:22,190
How are you feeling?

72
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:24,740
Like I was hit by a truck.

73
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,400
Well, I wouldn't exaggerate. That car
barely qualified as a compact.

74
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:30,120
How'd this happen?

75
00:04:30,180 --> 00:04:34,960
I had a trip stepping off the curb. Last
thing I remember thinking is, I'm going

76
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,880
to be another bug on this guy's
windshield.

77
00:04:37,500 --> 00:04:40,660
Well, you came out better than that.
Although you did have a hematoma

78
00:04:40,660 --> 00:04:42,720
compressing your intestine we had to
operate.

79
00:04:43,060 --> 00:04:45,360
But I wouldn't worry about it. You're
going to be out of here annoying your

80
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:46,360
clients in a few days.

81
00:04:46,740 --> 00:04:49,540
Yeah, not after the bonehead move I
pulled last week.

82
00:04:50,280 --> 00:04:51,280
What'd you do?

83
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:52,400
Accepted a promotion.

84
00:04:52,940 --> 00:04:54,520
Southwest Regional Sales Director.

85
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:55,920
Hey, that's great.

86
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,780
Yeah, you're just saying that because
you've seen my replacement.

87
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,620
Stephanie, the woman who came in with
me?

88
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,660
Oh, yeah, she's all right. Yeah, she's
amazing.

89
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:07,880
Of course, I taught her everything I
know.

90
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:10,740
Bet she's been waiting to see me.

91
00:05:11,140 --> 00:05:13,680
Oh, I don't know, but I'm sure Janie is.

92
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,700
You know, Janie, your wife.

93
00:05:17,580 --> 00:05:18,580
Want me to call her?

94
00:05:18,820 --> 00:05:20,280
No, let's not bother her with this.

95
00:05:22,730 --> 00:05:25,490
You think she's going to know
something's up when you come home with

96
00:05:25,490 --> 00:05:26,389
bandages on?

97
00:05:26,390 --> 00:05:28,410
Or just the fact that you haven't been
home?

98
00:05:28,790 --> 00:05:29,870
Jesse, we're separated.

99
00:05:31,730 --> 00:05:32,730
Sorry.

100
00:05:33,210 --> 00:05:34,210
No problem.

101
00:05:35,470 --> 00:05:37,850
Okay, I'll check up on you in a little
while.

102
00:05:38,150 --> 00:05:39,830
Hey, listen, do me a favor, will you?

103
00:05:40,290 --> 00:05:43,730
If you see Stephanie, ask her to jump
on, okay?

104
00:05:49,390 --> 00:05:53,430
I thought I had a 10 .30 with a new guy
from Benchmark Pharmaceuticals. You do.

105
00:05:53,550 --> 00:05:54,550
She's inside.

106
00:06:01,910 --> 00:06:05,310
Not disappointed to see me? I was
expecting somebody else.

107
00:06:06,150 --> 00:06:10,330
I'm the new rep for Benchmark
Pharmaceuticals. The real Stephanie

108
00:06:11,230 --> 00:06:14,350
That hysterical idiot yesterday was just
a...

109
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:15,680
Clever disguise.

110
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,720
Oh, I think that hysterical idiot did
pretty well for herself. Your quick

111
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,180
thinking helped save Dave Chambers'
life, so... Please, sit down.

112
00:06:22,460 --> 00:06:23,660
So, what can I do for you today?

113
00:06:24,180 --> 00:06:27,600
Well, I was sort of hoping that you
could fill me in on the business that

114
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,440
Benchmark has been doing with Community
General.

115
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:31,760
Shouldn't you be telling me that stuff?

116
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,040
Well, I really wasn't scheduled to take
over for another couple weeks, and,

117
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:40,460
um... Well, I'd hate to bother Dave with
it now, you know, so... I was hoping I

118
00:06:40,460 --> 00:06:43,540
could throw myself on your mercy, and,
uh, maybe you could help me out.

119
00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:46,680
Well, my mercy isn't the problem. My
knowledge is.

120
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,360
Rather, my lack of it. I've just started
here myself, so... All right, then

121
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,060
maybe I could come back in a week or so.
That'll give us some time to catch up.

122
00:06:54,220 --> 00:06:55,220
Oh, that's probably best.

123
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,480
Unless, of course, you need something
right away that we don't know about.

124
00:06:59,060 --> 00:07:03,060
You know, I've got a book in my car that
has all the business the community

125
00:07:03,060 --> 00:07:04,560
general has done in the last couple of
years.

126
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:06,680
Maybe we should just wade through it
together.

127
00:07:07,300 --> 00:07:08,300
I suppose we should.

128
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,560
Great. Then what about over lunch?

129
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:13,760
I'm booked all day.

130
00:07:14,060 --> 00:07:15,500
They're giving me a reception at five.

131
00:07:16,100 --> 00:07:17,640
Okay, then what about dinner, say seven?

132
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,200
It'll have to be a quick one. I've got
to prepare for a morning staff meeting.

133
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:24,080
I'll have you home by nine.

134
00:07:24,980 --> 00:07:27,080
Yeah, you do that and I'll never have
dinner with you again.

135
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,840
So the accident will get smaller and
smaller and smaller in the distance.

136
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,560
you do? I saw some boulders near the
side of me, so I sort of aimed to them.

137
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,000
opened up my park. Your husband
certainly hasn't lost his case for

138
00:07:44,300 --> 00:07:46,940
has he? Well, if you call moving every
year an adventure.

139
00:07:48,060 --> 00:07:52,500
Well, I'm afraid I'm as much to blame
for that as he. I am the one who lobbied

140
00:07:52,500 --> 00:07:53,500
for him to get that job.

141
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,240
Well, he's the guy who accepted without
asking me, even though my career is

142
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,720
finally taking off 3 ,000 miles away.

143
00:08:00,490 --> 00:08:02,010
They're so lucky to have Todd Grant.

144
00:08:02,530 --> 00:08:05,810
You didn't say that 15 years ago when he
broke into your office and spread

145
00:08:05,810 --> 00:08:06,810
superglue on everything.

146
00:08:07,130 --> 00:08:08,390
He did that? Oh, yeah.

147
00:08:08,670 --> 00:08:12,370
You said at the time that he was the
worst plague to the internship program

148
00:08:12,370 --> 00:08:13,470
ever inflicted on a hospital.

149
00:08:13,710 --> 00:08:15,530
Well, I hope someone told me to get a
sense of humor.

150
00:08:15,970 --> 00:08:18,510
Frequently. Oh, have you met Norman
Briggs?

151
00:08:19,190 --> 00:08:20,270
Mrs. Plague.

152
00:08:20,650 --> 00:08:23,410
Kim. Welcome to the community general
family.

153
00:08:23,770 --> 00:08:26,630
If there's anything we can do to make
the transition easier, please don't

154
00:08:26,630 --> 00:08:27,569
hesitate to ask.

155
00:08:27,570 --> 00:08:29,030
Well, you could call me a cab.

156
00:08:30,140 --> 00:08:33,720
Todd promised to drive me to the airport
an hour ago, but if he's not even on

157
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,980
the chopper yet, there's no stopping him
for another 15 minutes.

158
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,000
So there's this helicopter hovering over
my head.

159
00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:42,860
I could take you.

160
00:08:43,900 --> 00:08:45,200
That's really not necessary.

161
00:08:45,660 --> 00:08:48,420
Oh, no, no, no. It's our fault that your
life has become so complicated.

162
00:08:48,740 --> 00:08:51,180
Let me simplify it a little. I'll take
you.

163
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:56,020
If you put it that way, I'll just grab
my bags out of Todd's car on the way

164
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:58,760
Aren't you going to say goodbye to Todd?

165
00:09:00,530 --> 00:09:04,070
That's one thing about a bi -coastal
marriage. You always have another

166
00:09:04,070 --> 00:09:05,690
opportunity to say goodbye.

167
00:09:15,030 --> 00:09:17,750
And that's how I wound up back at
Community General.

168
00:09:19,010 --> 00:09:20,010
Thank you.

169
00:09:20,330 --> 00:09:24,350
Kind of anticlimactic, isn't it? Oh, I
don't know. I think in many ways I faced

170
00:09:24,350 --> 00:09:26,730
even greater challenges here than I did
in Somalia.

171
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:32,400
Did I say something funny?

172
00:09:32,940 --> 00:09:33,940
No.

173
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:35,480
No, not at all.

174
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:38,580
I mean, who am I to talk, right?

175
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,000
I sell pharmaceuticals.

176
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:43,160
But?

177
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:49,220
But at least I don't try to convince
myself that it's anything more than a

178
00:09:49,220 --> 00:09:50,220
temporary gig.

179
00:09:51,980 --> 00:09:53,600
Until I can do what I really want.

180
00:09:54,020 --> 00:09:55,020
Which is?

181
00:09:56,700 --> 00:10:00,200
If I knew, my trunk wouldn't be filled
with...

182
00:10:00,820 --> 00:10:01,820
Samples.

183
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,700
I'm sorry to interrupt, but the
kitchen's closing in ten minutes, so if

184
00:10:05,700 --> 00:10:06,699
like to order.

185
00:10:06,700 --> 00:10:07,800
How did it get so late?

186
00:10:08,860 --> 00:10:10,800
Can you give us just two more minutes?
Of course.

187
00:10:11,020 --> 00:10:14,460
And can you bring another bottle,
please? Yes, right away. So you're

188
00:10:14,460 --> 00:10:18,240
that I'm fooling myself into thinking my
new job is worthwhile?

189
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:19,880
No, not at all.

190
00:10:20,900 --> 00:10:23,580
I think that you will do great things
for Community General.

191
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:25,960
Well, it's great for me, too.

192
00:10:27,060 --> 00:10:28,060
I'm sure it is.

193
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:34,380
I just can't believe that after all the
things you've done and all the places

194
00:10:34,380 --> 00:10:39,420
you've been, you'd be willing to settle
for a desk job in Los Angeles.

195
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,260
Well, there's a lot to be said for a
normal life.

196
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,500
Besides, when you're married, you have
to make compromises.

197
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:54,720
Sure.

198
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:56,780
Like which toothpaste to buy.

199
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:58,200
No, what I mean is...

200
00:10:58,990 --> 00:11:03,990
Staying in one place for a few years
while Kim builds her career isn't going

201
00:11:03,990 --> 00:11:04,990
kill me.

202
00:11:05,910 --> 00:11:06,990
Just your soul.

203
00:11:11,270 --> 00:11:17,350
My soul and I are very happy to be in
Los Angeles.

204
00:11:18,290 --> 00:11:19,290
Really?

205
00:11:20,510 --> 00:11:24,330
You and your soul are liars.

206
00:11:26,070 --> 00:11:27,470
Are we that obvious?

207
00:11:30,090 --> 00:11:31,090
To me.

208
00:11:34,550 --> 00:11:35,870
Excuse me, sir?

209
00:11:37,390 --> 00:11:38,070
Wake

210
00:11:38,070 --> 00:11:52,350
up,

211
00:11:52,350 --> 00:11:53,350
I'm getting lonely.

212
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:02,520
What time is it?

213
00:12:03,500 --> 00:12:04,660
About 9 .30.

214
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:07,780
Oh, God. Oh, God.

215
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:09,880
Oh.

216
00:12:10,380 --> 00:12:11,279
Oh, God.

217
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,340
The staff meeting started a half hour
ago.

218
00:12:13,820 --> 00:12:14,820
Well, good.

219
00:12:15,020 --> 00:12:16,840
There's really no point in leaving, is
there?

220
00:12:43,180 --> 00:12:45,860
Look, Stephanie, we drank too much.

221
00:12:46,460 --> 00:12:48,160
I'm sorry, but this was a mistake.

222
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:50,820
Well, we both know that's not true.

223
00:12:53,060 --> 00:12:54,560
Yeah, well, we also both know I'm
married.

224
00:12:55,060 --> 00:12:58,140
To a woman who doesn't allow you to live
the life you've always wanted.

225
00:12:59,460 --> 00:13:02,900
Stephanie, look, you know, I think
you're an incredible woman.

226
00:13:03,220 --> 00:13:07,560
And I wish that we had met under
different circumstances, because if I

227
00:13:07,560 --> 00:13:11,140
free, then this could be the beginning
and not the end.

228
00:13:11,790 --> 00:13:12,890
It still can be.

229
00:13:14,710 --> 00:13:20,070
Stephanie, it may not be the best
marriage right now, but I love my wife.

230
00:13:21,270 --> 00:13:22,330
I don't want to lose her.

231
00:13:23,690 --> 00:13:24,810
Do you want to lose death?

232
00:13:29,450 --> 00:13:30,450
Stephanie, Stephanie, Stephanie.

233
00:13:32,270 --> 00:13:35,230
Let's go back to the relationship that
we're supposed to have.

234
00:13:36,070 --> 00:13:37,190
A professional one.

235
00:13:38,030 --> 00:13:39,410
But I want more than that.

236
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,780
And I know you do, too. You know what?
What you want, all right, and what I

237
00:13:44,780 --> 00:13:46,020
doesn't really matter.

238
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:49,400
It'll never happen again.

239
00:13:52,820 --> 00:13:53,820
Oh, yes, it will.

240
00:13:55,100 --> 00:13:56,740
Simply because we can't help ourselves.

241
00:14:01,980 --> 00:14:05,740
Well, your new house isn't far at all.
No, no, that's the best thing about it.

242
00:14:05,740 --> 00:14:09,000
Walking distance to the hospital, I
leave my front door, I'm in my office

243
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:09,689
ten minutes.

244
00:14:09,690 --> 00:14:11,770
Must have been a lot of foot traffic
along here this morning.

245
00:14:12,790 --> 00:14:15,950
Look, I'm not crazy about staff meetings
either, but you called it. You should

246
00:14:15,950 --> 00:14:18,410
have been there. I know, I know. My
alarm didn't go off. I couldn't find my

247
00:14:18,410 --> 00:14:21,630
keys. Well, it wasn't the greatest move
in the world, but it's not the end of

248
00:14:21,630 --> 00:14:22,930
your career. Look, it's not going to
happen again, I promise.

249
00:14:23,130 --> 00:14:24,130
Look,

250
00:14:24,710 --> 00:14:27,390
it's a fixer -upper, but the price was
right.

251
00:14:27,870 --> 00:14:29,250
Well, it looks perfect to me.

252
00:14:29,770 --> 00:14:30,830
Well, thank you, sir. Me too.

253
00:14:32,010 --> 00:14:35,230
Of course, we never bought a house that
Tim didn't think needed a little work.

254
00:14:35,490 --> 00:14:36,490
Has there been that many?

255
00:14:36,650 --> 00:14:38,990
Oh, I promised her this would be the
last one.

256
00:14:39,790 --> 00:14:41,030
At least for a while, anyway.

257
00:14:41,590 --> 00:14:42,610
So, what do you think?

258
00:14:43,810 --> 00:14:46,210
We need some color. We need color, yeah.

259
00:14:49,410 --> 00:14:53,850
Dr. Mark Sloan, this is Stephanie
Hitcher, the benchmark pharmaceuticals

260
00:14:54,090 --> 00:14:55,090
Very nice to meet you.

261
00:14:56,570 --> 00:14:59,370
Flowers are certainly a wonderful
housewarming gift, aren't they?

262
00:15:00,990 --> 00:15:02,410
Second best thing would be a meal.

263
00:15:02,930 --> 00:15:05,510
I hope you like deli, Dr. Sloan. There's
plenty for everyone.

264
00:15:05,830 --> 00:15:07,650
Oh, thank you. I have to get back to the
hospital.

265
00:15:08,090 --> 00:15:09,090
All right.

266
00:15:14,500 --> 00:15:15,500
Aggressive sales.

267
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,760
Well, Todd, you and Kim really lucked
out with this place. You're going to be

268
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:22,760
happy here.

269
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:26,720
Todd,

270
00:15:27,060 --> 00:15:30,340
you know, if anyone would like to talk,
never a bad time.

271
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:32,760
Oh, thanks, Mark. Everything's fine.

272
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,000
Just, you know, just don't tell Kim.

273
00:15:36,900 --> 00:15:41,240
Before all the boxes were unpacked, I
think that she'd kill me.

274
00:15:42,180 --> 00:15:43,180
See you. Yeah.

275
00:15:52,620 --> 00:15:54,860
Just love the way the midday sun fills
the room.

276
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:57,040
So homey.

277
00:15:58,060 --> 00:15:59,080
What are you doing here?

278
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,520
Oh, there's nothing more depressing than
being all by yourself in a big empty

279
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:04,520
house.

280
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,020
By the way, the back door was left open.

281
00:16:07,540 --> 00:16:09,820
You really should always check that
before you leave. Stephanie.

282
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:11,240
Stephanie.

283
00:16:12,580 --> 00:16:13,700
We talked about this.

284
00:16:15,020 --> 00:16:17,320
You know, I stayed in bed after you left
this morning.

285
00:16:18,820 --> 00:16:20,340
Curled up in the warm sheets.

286
00:16:22,220 --> 00:16:24,040
I could smell your cologne on the
pillow.

287
00:16:25,340 --> 00:16:28,780
It was as if you were still there,
holding me.

288
00:16:30,260 --> 00:16:31,720
I thought we had an understanding.

289
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:33,960
We do.

290
00:16:34,580 --> 00:16:36,320
After lunch, I'll help you unpack the
sheet.

291
00:16:40,100 --> 00:16:44,900
Stephanie, we're not having lunch or
anything else together. This

292
00:16:44,900 --> 00:16:45,900
is over.

293
00:16:47,340 --> 00:16:48,760
You know, you don't have to be afraid.

294
00:16:50,250 --> 00:16:52,850
What you feel for me, what I feel for
you, it's natural.

295
00:16:54,170 --> 00:16:55,170
It's right.

296
00:16:56,870 --> 00:16:59,050
Stephanie, I don't feel anything.

297
00:17:03,250 --> 00:17:04,250
What?

298
00:17:04,849 --> 00:17:06,369
Oh, sweetheart, hi. No, I'm sorry.

299
00:17:06,990 --> 00:17:08,970
It's just been a really difficult day.

300
00:17:10,650 --> 00:17:14,310
2 .30 tomorrow. No, that's not good for
me. I have a staff meeting.

301
00:17:15,150 --> 00:17:16,150
No,

302
00:17:16,290 --> 00:17:17,290
I can't reschedule.

303
00:17:19,339 --> 00:17:20,700
Well, can you take a later flight?

304
00:17:22,660 --> 00:17:23,660
No,

305
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,319
of course I want to see you. It's just
not that.

306
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:27,819
Fine. Take the shuttle.

307
00:17:28,820 --> 00:17:29,860
See you tomorrow. All right.

308
00:17:30,100 --> 00:17:32,740
I love... I love you.

309
00:17:36,500 --> 00:17:37,500
Get out.

310
00:17:37,860 --> 00:17:38,860
Get out.

311
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:40,280
Don't ever come back again.

312
00:17:42,220 --> 00:17:43,360
Your marriage is dead.

313
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,320
And as soon as you admit that, you'll be
free.

314
00:18:11,950 --> 00:18:12,950
I'm so sorry I'm late.

315
00:18:13,230 --> 00:18:14,930
The 405 with the parking lot.

316
00:18:15,610 --> 00:18:18,030
Boy, you've really mastered the fine art
of packing life.

317
00:18:18,370 --> 00:18:21,650
You'll have to give me some pointers
because I always seem to pack my entire

318
00:18:21,650 --> 00:18:25,230
closet. I'm sorry. I don't mean to be
rude, but you are.

319
00:18:25,830 --> 00:18:26,669
I'm sorry.

320
00:18:26,670 --> 00:18:27,850
I'm Stephanie Hitcher.

321
00:18:28,310 --> 00:18:31,310
Todd wanted to come get you himself, but
he just couldn't escape from that

322
00:18:31,310 --> 00:18:33,910
hospital. You know Todd. He's at his
death's end of pressure.

323
00:18:35,050 --> 00:18:36,770
Well, you've certainly gotten to know
him fast.

324
00:18:37,010 --> 00:18:38,010
We've only been here a week.

325
00:18:38,550 --> 00:18:40,750
Yes, well, it's just like Todd, isn't
it?

326
00:18:41,230 --> 00:18:43,730
And he just opens himself up completely
to everyone?

327
00:18:44,690 --> 00:18:46,010
Encourages you to do the same?

328
00:18:46,850 --> 00:18:49,470
Of course, he's a completely different
person in private.

329
00:18:50,130 --> 00:18:50,989
Is he?

330
00:18:50,990 --> 00:18:52,590
Yes, he's shy and quiet.

331
00:18:53,270 --> 00:18:54,270
Almost brooding.

332
00:18:54,830 --> 00:18:57,350
It's what makes men like him so
difficult to live with.

333
00:18:58,170 --> 00:19:00,230
Well, I wouldn't know. We get along just
fine.

334
00:19:07,530 --> 00:19:09,110
This can't be happening.

335
00:19:11,100 --> 00:19:13,860
You know, don't say another word. You
just tell it to my lawyer.

336
00:19:19,780 --> 00:19:20,840
Whoa, whoa, what are you doing?

337
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,320
Getting out of this damn bed. No, no,
you're not. You just had major surgery.

338
00:19:24,420 --> 00:19:26,020
You can't be on your feet yet. I'm gonna
watch.

339
00:19:26,300 --> 00:19:29,220
Dave, you gotta get back in the bed.
Whatever it is you want, I'll get it for

340
00:19:29,220 --> 00:19:29,939
you, all right?

341
00:19:29,940 --> 00:19:30,940
Just get back.

342
00:19:32,460 --> 00:19:33,460
I got your messages.

343
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:36,740
Can we have some privacy, please?

344
00:19:38,340 --> 00:19:40,120
Yeah, but you gotta get back in the bed.

345
00:19:41,710 --> 00:19:42,710
Five minutes.

346
00:19:45,110 --> 00:19:50,130
You look fabulous.

347
00:19:50,810 --> 00:19:52,410
Then take a long look.

348
00:19:53,230 --> 00:19:54,230
It's your last.

349
00:19:56,030 --> 00:19:58,290
Don't tell me I've only got two hours to
live.

350
00:19:58,710 --> 00:20:01,410
Well, might as well go out happy.

351
00:20:02,450 --> 00:20:05,170
So tired of your jokes, Dave.

352
00:20:06,190 --> 00:20:08,030
Almost as tired as I am of you.

353
00:20:09,290 --> 00:20:10,850
Came here to tell you that it's over.

354
00:20:12,540 --> 00:20:13,800
You can't be serious.

355
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,540
Two days ago, you couldn't keep your
hands off me. You tore the shirt off my

356
00:20:18,540 --> 00:20:19,540
back.

357
00:20:22,540 --> 00:20:24,860
How can you do this? I left my wife for
you.

358
00:20:26,580 --> 00:20:27,740
Did I ask you to?

359
00:20:28,020 --> 00:20:31,000
No, but... The Dave I fell in love with
was a player.

360
00:20:32,120 --> 00:20:35,080
Top salesman in his company, trophy wife
at home.

361
00:20:36,060 --> 00:20:37,060
You had it all.

362
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:39,840
Now look at you.

363
00:20:42,220 --> 00:20:43,220
You're a loser.

364
00:20:44,060 --> 00:20:45,820
You live in a tiny apartment.

365
00:20:46,180 --> 00:20:47,640
Your career a wreck.

366
00:20:48,340 --> 00:20:51,620
For you. It was all for you. Did you
ever once ask what I wanted?

367
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:54,880
What?

368
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:56,720
What do you want?

369
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:58,240
Oh, don't bother now.

370
00:20:59,180 --> 00:21:00,980
I've already found it somewhere else.

371
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:03,740
His name is Dr.

372
00:21:03,940 --> 00:21:04,940
Todd Grimes.

373
00:21:05,180 --> 00:21:07,980
And he's everything I once thought you
were.

374
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,240
You can't do this. Oh, I already have.

375
00:21:14,140 --> 00:21:18,580
And I'm going to do it again and again
and again until he's too tired to move.

376
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,160
At his place, actually, tonight.

377
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:24,980
Please give me another chance.

378
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,180
How are you going to win me back when
you don't even have a job?

379
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:31,080
How did you know?

380
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:32,880
Withers just called.

381
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:38,780
Who do you think told him about you
spending entire work days shacked up in

382
00:21:38,780 --> 00:21:39,780
expensive hotels?

383
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,360
and sticking the bills on your expense
account.

384
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,680
I spent those days with you.

385
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:52,160
Once Withers found out about you
sexually harassing me, that was the end.

386
00:21:54,020 --> 00:21:55,300
Oh, my God.

387
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,660
He gave me your office, by the way.

388
00:22:01,360 --> 00:22:02,360
Nice view.

389
00:22:19,279 --> 00:22:20,820
Mark Pharmaceuticals is here to see you.

390
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:24,380
Tell her I'm tied up all day.

391
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:26,280
All day?

392
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,660
Well, we're going to find that money
from somewhere. If that takes us all

393
00:22:29,700 --> 00:22:31,460
if it takes us all night, we're going to
find the money.

394
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:32,680
I like this. Okay.

395
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:34,999
Yes, Eileen?

396
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:39,600
I'm sorry to bother you, but she's very
insistent. She says she has to see you.

397
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,440
Tell her our business is concluded.

398
00:22:44,540 --> 00:22:45,560
Notting a hard bargain?

399
00:22:47,620 --> 00:22:48,640
That's why you hired me, right?

400
00:22:50,570 --> 00:22:52,730
I'm sorry to interrupt your meeting, Mr.
Briggs. Dr.

401
00:22:53,630 --> 00:22:56,910
Grimes here left me hanging yesterday in
the middle of a very delicate

402
00:22:56,910 --> 00:23:00,090
negotiation. And, frankly, I'm just not
satisfied.

403
00:23:01,370 --> 00:23:02,370
Okay.

404
00:23:02,570 --> 00:23:04,730
Hitcher, it's fine. We needed a break
anyway.

405
00:23:05,010 --> 00:23:06,130
Thank you, Mr. Briggs. Sure.

406
00:23:08,070 --> 00:23:09,070
Don't get in.

407
00:23:22,540 --> 00:23:25,360
No, it's a completely different look. I,
too, wasn't sure if it was right for

408
00:23:25,360 --> 00:23:27,420
me. But Kim said, trust Mario.

409
00:23:27,700 --> 00:23:29,040
He's an artist with hair.

410
00:23:29,300 --> 00:23:30,660
And she was right.

411
00:23:32,620 --> 00:23:33,940
Kim. Uh -huh?

412
00:23:35,940 --> 00:23:39,520
You talked to Kim. Oh, she was so
helpful.

413
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,580
But I can see what you mean.

414
00:23:41,900 --> 00:23:44,980
She does have this patronizing quality
to her.

415
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:51,080
Stay the hell away from my wife. Do you
understand me?

416
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:57,220
Stay away from me. Oh, I know this
marriage is killing you, but baby, don't

417
00:23:57,220 --> 00:23:58,580
worry. I'll help you.

418
00:23:59,100 --> 00:24:00,460
I'll take care of everything.

419
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:20,800
I was right.

420
00:24:21,570 --> 00:24:22,570
You couldn't.

421
00:24:29,210 --> 00:24:36,070
I'm going to make some cuts elsewhere in
the hospital. They're coming out of the

422
00:24:36,070 --> 00:24:37,069
ER budget.

423
00:24:37,070 --> 00:24:39,210
The other department, especially the
women's, it is.

424
00:24:39,970 --> 00:24:40,970
Honey, hi.

425
00:24:41,030 --> 00:24:41,969
I'm surprised.

426
00:24:41,970 --> 00:24:42,970
How was your flight?

427
00:24:43,690 --> 00:24:44,970
I found these in our bed.

428
00:24:46,230 --> 00:24:47,730
I'm sure Stephanie didn't miss them.

429
00:24:51,179 --> 00:24:54,280
Please. That's what this move to L .A.
was all about, wasn't it?

430
00:24:54,660 --> 00:24:57,500
You didn't give a damn about this job
you wanted out of this marriage.

431
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,720
But I just didn't get it. No, Kim,
listen. You sent the one message I

432
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:02,720
possibly ignore.

433
00:25:04,580 --> 00:25:05,580
Congratulations.

434
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:08,400
It worked.

435
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,600
I think that sleeping with Stephanie was
the second biggest mistake of my life.

436
00:25:28,740 --> 00:25:32,840
And what was the first Todd letting me
find out? Letting our marriage slip

437
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,420
I don't want to let it slip away
anymore. I think it's too late for that.

438
00:25:45,100 --> 00:25:50,120
I think that we have two choices. We can
either fight to get back what we had,

439
00:25:50,260 --> 00:25:54,480
or we can just walk away. And I don't
want to walk away from our life.

440
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:57,440
Do you?

441
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:02,600
I know it used to be good, Todd.

442
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,380
But it's been so long, I can't even
remember what it was like.

443
00:26:07,620 --> 00:26:08,620
Yes, you can.

444
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,580
It's too much right now. I can't deal
with any more of this. Okay, come on. I

445
00:26:15,580 --> 00:26:18,120
don't know. Oh, no, I'll make us some
breakfast. We'll drive to the beach.

446
00:26:18,120 --> 00:26:19,120
rush me, Todd.

447
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,920
I need to be alone.

448
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:24,240
Figure some things out.

449
00:26:36,060 --> 00:26:37,060
Thanks.

450
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,140
Give me a phone number as soon as you
have one.

451
00:27:37,330 --> 00:27:38,810
BBX. Welcome home.

452
00:27:49,210 --> 00:27:52,310
She did that. She killed my wife.

453
00:27:52,870 --> 00:27:53,870
Who?

454
00:27:56,250 --> 00:27:59,150
Stephanie Hitcher, the rep from
Benchmark Pharmaceuticals.

455
00:27:59,650 --> 00:28:01,290
Why would she want to kill your wife?

456
00:28:02,950 --> 00:28:04,410
I made a stupid mistake.

457
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:06,200
I slept with her.

458
00:28:06,660 --> 00:28:09,920
And now Stephanie thinks that we're in
love. I told her that she was wrong,

459
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:11,020
I was still in love with my wife.

460
00:28:15,860 --> 00:28:20,880
But she wouldn't, um, let go. And now
she's stalking me. And you saw it for

461
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:25,580
yourself. Todd brought me over to see
the house as Stephanie had let herself

462
00:28:25,580 --> 00:28:26,620
It struck me as a little odd.

463
00:28:26,820 --> 00:28:30,100
She made herself look like Kim just to
win me over. Okay, that's how sick she

464
00:28:30,100 --> 00:28:33,880
is. I understand Kim confronted you
yesterday about the affair.

465
00:28:34,330 --> 00:28:38,050
It wasn't an affair. I was with
Stephanie once at her place.

466
00:28:39,390 --> 00:28:42,730
Kim and I were having troubles, and I
had a little too much to drink.

467
00:28:44,090 --> 00:28:48,090
Kim found some of Stephanie's
underclothes. Oh, come on. Look, don't

468
00:28:48,090 --> 00:28:49,530
understand how crazy she is?

469
00:28:50,850 --> 00:28:54,890
She wanted Kim to find that. That's why
she planted it in the bed to drive us

470
00:28:54,890 --> 00:28:55,890
apart.

471
00:28:56,870 --> 00:28:57,870
But it didn't work.

472
00:28:58,890 --> 00:28:59,890
What do you mean?

473
00:29:01,850 --> 00:29:02,890
Kim and I talked.

474
00:29:04,780 --> 00:29:08,060
I haven't really talked for the first
time in, like, years.

475
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:13,300
And I just think that if we had had some
time, we could have worked with them.

476
00:29:19,260 --> 00:29:21,100
All right, Dad, here's what we've got so
far.

477
00:29:21,380 --> 00:29:23,720
The shooter was standing out on the
lawn.

478
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,660
The handgun fired five times through the
window.

479
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:27,920
Any witnesses?

480
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,380
Some neighbors heard some loud arguing
in a car leaving about 11.

481
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,160
That doesn't mean that Todd didn't park
around the corner and come back on foot.

482
00:29:36,100 --> 00:29:38,960
I think it's about time for me to have a
talk with Stephanie Hitcher.

483
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:41,380
So

484
00:29:41,380 --> 00:29:50,900
he

485
00:29:50,900 --> 00:29:52,000
says I'm obsessed with him, huh?

486
00:29:53,220 --> 00:29:54,860
The exact word was stalking.

487
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:56,560
Is that true?

488
00:29:57,020 --> 00:29:58,020
Well, half true.

489
00:29:58,320 --> 00:29:59,920
You want to fill me in on the other
half?

490
00:30:00,750 --> 00:30:03,630
I guess you could say we were stalking
each other.

491
00:30:04,830 --> 00:30:06,610
I could, if I knew what that meant.

492
00:30:07,510 --> 00:30:08,910
Todd likes games, detective.

493
00:30:09,510 --> 00:30:11,010
The more dangerous, the better.

494
00:30:11,890 --> 00:30:15,430
I mean, do you really think it was my
idea to show up at the hospital dressed

495
00:30:15,430 --> 00:30:16,430
like his wife?

496
00:30:18,410 --> 00:30:20,090
He said you broke into his house.

497
00:30:20,590 --> 00:30:23,150
He had a witness that confirmed that you
surprised him there.

498
00:30:23,410 --> 00:30:27,630
I don't suppose that witness said what
happened after Todd caught me there.

499
00:30:28,190 --> 00:30:29,790
No. That's too bad.

500
00:30:30,350 --> 00:30:33,330
Todd likes it when there are people
around who might catch us.

501
00:30:35,330 --> 00:30:38,710
He should have seen what we were doing
while he was talking on the phone with

502
00:30:38,710 --> 00:30:39,710
his wife.

503
00:30:40,190 --> 00:30:41,190
Enlighten me.

504
00:30:42,230 --> 00:30:44,970
I think some things are best left to the
imagination.

505
00:30:45,910 --> 00:30:47,250
Not in a murder investigation.

506
00:30:48,610 --> 00:30:50,430
I look good as a suspect, don't I?

507
00:30:51,510 --> 00:30:54,310
I am the one that was having the affair
with the husband, right?

508
00:30:56,190 --> 00:30:57,470
Only I wouldn't hurt Kim.

509
00:30:58,090 --> 00:30:59,710
Because I know that that would hurt
Todd.

510
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:04,020
And I didn't need to, frankly. He loves
me. We're going to spend the rest of our

511
00:31:04,020 --> 00:31:05,020
lives together.

512
00:31:05,620 --> 00:31:08,520
Kim Grimes was killed with a .38 caliber
handgun.

513
00:31:09,100 --> 00:31:12,020
And I'm a registered owner of a .38 with
a license to carry.

514
00:31:12,220 --> 00:31:14,720
Exactly. Would you mind producing that
weapon?

515
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:16,040
Very much.

516
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,420
It's awfully cold in Pittsburgh this
time of year.

517
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:21,240
Pittsburgh? Mm -hmm.

518
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,220
I gave the gun to my mother.

519
00:31:24,420 --> 00:31:25,860
I'm a pharmaceutical rep.

520
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,600
I carry around many sample cases full of
drugs.

521
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:31,800
But I would never die for a sample case.

522
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,460
And I certainly wouldn't kill for it, so
why carry?

523
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,040
Would you mind telling me where you were
last night?

524
00:31:39,340 --> 00:31:40,340
Certainly.

525
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:45,020
I was in a meeting with the entire
Western Regional Sales Force.

526
00:31:45,820 --> 00:31:49,060
In fact, we were in a conference room
until about 2 a .m. together.

527
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,340
If you'd like any other phone numbers,
I'd be happy to get them for you.

528
00:31:55,700 --> 00:31:56,700
Hey, Mark.

529
00:31:58,700 --> 00:31:59,700
Hello, Mark.

530
00:31:59,930 --> 00:32:03,150
Oh, yes, I'm sorry. A little
preoccupied. Todd Grimes?

531
00:32:03,410 --> 00:32:05,270
Oh, yeah. I just had a long talk with
Norman.

532
00:32:05,690 --> 00:32:06,689
It's a mess.

533
00:32:06,690 --> 00:32:08,130
I picked up the whole thing in my lap.

534
00:32:08,610 --> 00:32:11,090
Oh, well, then I guess you don't need
anything else on your mind. No, I could

535
00:32:11,090 --> 00:32:12,090
use a little distraction.

536
00:32:12,190 --> 00:32:12,949
What do you need?

537
00:32:12,950 --> 00:32:14,330
Well, maybe some medical advice?

538
00:32:14,550 --> 00:32:18,770
Yeah. I've been running a routine renal
panel on Dave Chambers twice a day, and

539
00:32:18,770 --> 00:32:21,330
his potassium level was 5 .8 yesterday.

540
00:32:21,650 --> 00:32:23,690
Last night, it went down to 3 .5.

541
00:32:23,950 --> 00:32:26,390
They're still at normal levels, but I
can't account for the drop.

542
00:32:27,050 --> 00:32:28,290
Did you give him any diuretics?

543
00:32:28,490 --> 00:32:29,490
Nope.

544
00:32:29,930 --> 00:32:30,669
Is he vomiting?

545
00:32:30,670 --> 00:32:33,570
He says no, and none of the nurses have
seen anything peculiar.

546
00:32:33,990 --> 00:32:34,990
Fever?

547
00:32:35,730 --> 00:32:36,890
Well, that is odd.

548
00:32:38,350 --> 00:32:41,290
I tell you what, why don't you do
another round of tests, and if you don't

549
00:32:41,350 --> 00:32:42,350
I'd like to see the results.

550
00:32:42,450 --> 00:32:43,450
Okay, yeah.

551
00:32:45,330 --> 00:32:47,110
Wow, what is he doing here?

552
00:32:47,490 --> 00:32:49,050
I don't know. Excuse me.

553
00:32:54,990 --> 00:32:58,070
Todd, what are you doing here? I'm
trying to keep the ER staffed without

554
00:32:58,070 --> 00:33:00,030
bankrupting the other departments. You
should be at home.

555
00:33:00,330 --> 00:33:02,270
You know what home means to me, Mark?
It's where Kim is.

556
00:33:03,110 --> 00:33:05,990
Look, I understand what you're going
through, but throwing yourself into your

557
00:33:05,990 --> 00:33:07,670
work will just delay the grieving
process.

558
00:33:08,110 --> 00:33:10,050
Trust me, Mark, nothing will delay my
grief.

559
00:33:11,250 --> 00:33:15,090
At least here I can do some good. Tom, I
really think it'll be best if you take

560
00:33:15,090 --> 00:33:17,990
a few weeks off. I don't think that
Norman would appreciate it if I

561
00:33:17,990 --> 00:33:19,590
him in the middle of this budget battle.

562
00:33:20,930 --> 00:33:21,990
Actually, it's Norman's idea.

563
00:33:23,370 --> 00:33:24,370
You talk to Norman.

564
00:33:27,050 --> 00:33:28,050
Mark, I'll be fine.

565
00:33:29,050 --> 00:33:32,850
As long as I can keep working. Todd, if
you don't take the days off voluntarily,

566
00:33:33,230 --> 00:33:34,690
Norman's going to have to suspend you.

567
00:33:35,270 --> 00:33:36,270
He's going to what?

568
00:33:36,630 --> 00:33:39,630
Norman's also concerned about the
hospital. The board called an emergency

569
00:33:39,630 --> 00:33:40,630
meeting this morning.

570
00:33:40,910 --> 00:33:42,930
Oh, so that's what this is about.

571
00:33:43,410 --> 00:33:48,630
My personal life. Because I had an
affair. Because my wife was killed. The

572
00:33:48,630 --> 00:33:50,250
sees me as an embarrassment.

573
00:33:50,610 --> 00:33:53,390
Truthfully, there's some concern about
you. The effect your personal life might

574
00:33:53,390 --> 00:33:56,070
have on the hospital. But Norman and I
are mostly concerned about you.

575
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,360
Right. Which is why he's suspending me.

576
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:00,640
It was the best he could do.

577
00:34:00,980 --> 00:34:02,340
The board wanted to fire you.

578
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:07,800
Tell him not to bother. I'll set him to
trouble.

579
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:13,080
No, I'm sorry. Excuse me. My wife was
murdered. And these vultures want to get

580
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:14,880
rid of me to save themselves some
embarrassment?

581
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:17,480
To hell with them.

582
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:19,460
To hell with this job.

583
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:29,760
I'm so sorry to hear about him.

584
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:32,639
This must be so hard for you.

585
00:34:33,679 --> 00:34:36,560
Maybe, maybe you could find just a
little bit of hope.

586
00:34:38,020 --> 00:34:39,460
That you're free now.

587
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:42,440
You get it!

588
00:34:46,020 --> 00:34:47,020
Everything!

589
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:48,920
Everything!

590
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:53,400
Get up!

591
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:54,760
Better rest.

592
00:35:07,240 --> 00:35:10,700
Lauren firing him because his wife was
murdered. He's being dismissed for

593
00:35:10,700 --> 00:35:11,700
unprofessional conduct.

594
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:16,180
Well, Norman, he's been under a lot of
pressure. The board ought to have some

595
00:35:16,180 --> 00:35:19,080
compassion. Mark, he tried to strangle a
woman in the hallway.

596
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,780
Not exactly the image Community General
wants to project.

597
00:35:22,340 --> 00:35:24,080
Stephanie Hitcher's been stalking him.

598
00:35:24,420 --> 00:35:26,880
And it's quite possible she's the one
that killed Todd's wife.

599
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,420
Whatever happens to innocent until
proven guilty?

600
00:35:32,180 --> 00:35:33,138
Oh, hi.

601
00:35:33,140 --> 00:35:35,380
Hope you've got some good news. I'm
afraid not.

602
00:35:35,690 --> 00:35:37,690
I look into Stephanie Hitcher's past.

603
00:35:37,970 --> 00:35:41,990
She's moved all over the country and
left a lot of human wreckage in her

604
00:35:42,230 --> 00:35:46,030
Oh, so it's not the first time her
involvement with a man's ended in some

605
00:35:46,030 --> 00:35:50,050
tragedy. Not by far. She's got a thing
for married men who are rising fast in

606
00:35:50,050 --> 00:35:50,868
their profession.

607
00:35:50,870 --> 00:35:52,350
That isn't how she leaves them, is it?

608
00:35:52,770 --> 00:35:56,450
The eight men we know she was involved
with, all of them either left their

609
00:35:56,450 --> 00:35:58,510
or came home to find their families and
left them.

610
00:35:59,370 --> 00:36:02,810
What about violence? Any other people
hurt? Two of the men committed suicide.

611
00:36:03,580 --> 00:36:06,680
Three of them sought restraining orders
against her, and one of them accused her

612
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,420
of burning his house down. But none of
the charges ever stuck.

613
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:11,360
She's the blind date from hell.

614
00:36:11,660 --> 00:36:15,900
But she certainly has a pattern of
obsessive, possibly psychotic behavior.

615
00:36:15,900 --> 00:36:17,320
she's repeated the pattern with Todd.

616
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:18,980
I think we got her.

617
00:36:19,240 --> 00:36:20,240
I wish we did.

618
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,900
Unfortunately, this picture shows
Stephanie with the other sales reps at

619
00:36:24,900 --> 00:36:27,500
Grandview Hotel downtown at the time of
the murder.

620
00:36:27,780 --> 00:36:30,840
Or so she says. I mean, that picture
could have been taken at any time.

621
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:32,720
Well, the clock on the wall says...

622
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:36,300
11 -04. See what their watches say, if
you can.

623
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:37,520
All right.

624
00:36:40,820 --> 00:36:43,060
This woman's watch says 11 -04 as well.

625
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:45,820
Well, she may be nuts, but she's
careful.

626
00:36:46,380 --> 00:36:48,980
If we don't find some kind of a hole in
her alibi, she's going to get away with

627
00:36:48,980 --> 00:36:49,980
murder.

628
00:36:55,300 --> 00:36:58,980
I didn't expect to see you here, not
after what I did to you.

629
00:36:59,860 --> 00:37:01,060
You didn't do anything to me.

630
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,360
Pushed me for chief of staff. You
convinced the board to move me down from

631
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,900
Boston. And then what did I do? I self
-destructed.

632
00:37:07,420 --> 00:37:08,880
Not important anymore, Tom.

633
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:12,220
The important matter is not finding
Kim's killer. We know who that is.

634
00:37:12,740 --> 00:37:16,660
Well, knowing and proving are two
different things. We checked on

635
00:37:16,660 --> 00:37:17,660
alibi.

636
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:18,680
Solid.

637
00:37:18,780 --> 00:37:20,940
So I know she's behind it, and we're
going to get her.

638
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,540
There's one small piece of good news.
Steve seemed to think that the charges

639
00:37:25,540 --> 00:37:27,460
against you will be reduced to simple
assault.

640
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:28,840
And then what?

641
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:30,460
You post your bail and you get out of
here.

642
00:37:31,870 --> 00:37:32,870
And go where?

643
00:37:33,610 --> 00:37:35,390
You want to come out to the beach house
for a few days?

644
00:37:37,210 --> 00:37:40,290
You would do that, even after the
embarrassment I've caused you.

645
00:37:43,270 --> 00:37:44,270
Thanks.

646
00:37:45,370 --> 00:37:48,770
But don't, Bob. Todd, you can't give up.
You've got to keep fighting.

647
00:37:49,350 --> 00:37:50,350
Kim is dead.

648
00:37:51,130 --> 00:37:52,910
My career is in ashes.

649
00:37:53,110 --> 00:37:57,290
I don't have a whole hell of a lot to
fight for. You made a mistake. Kim died

650
00:37:57,290 --> 00:37:58,290
for it.

651
00:38:03,370 --> 00:38:06,090
The test results on Dave Chambers just
came back. Oh, I see.

652
00:38:07,670 --> 00:38:09,750
Potassium back up to five, sodium 140.

653
00:38:10,370 --> 00:38:11,069
That's good.

654
00:38:11,070 --> 00:38:11,988
What changed?

655
00:38:11,990 --> 00:38:14,910
Nothing. He's been in bed all day and I
haven't altered his treatment a bit.

656
00:38:15,110 --> 00:38:16,130
I don't know what's going on.

657
00:38:16,870 --> 00:38:17,870
Well, neither do I.

658
00:38:18,230 --> 00:38:20,570
You know, I bet the guy down at the lab
screwed up last night.

659
00:38:21,150 --> 00:38:23,290
Let me run down there and see if I can
catch him before they leave.

660
00:38:23,750 --> 00:38:25,270
Wait a minute. You say run.

661
00:38:25,750 --> 00:38:27,350
Yeah, well, they don't stay a minute
past five.

662
00:38:28,230 --> 00:38:30,830
Jesse, forget it. I think those reports
were done perfectly.

663
00:38:31,110 --> 00:38:31,928
They were.

664
00:38:31,930 --> 00:38:33,070
Let me have another look at that.

665
00:38:33,450 --> 00:38:34,450
Yeah.

666
00:38:41,170 --> 00:38:42,170
That's Sloan.

667
00:38:42,790 --> 00:38:43,629
Uh -oh.

668
00:38:43,630 --> 00:38:44,850
Must be bad news.

669
00:38:45,210 --> 00:38:48,430
No, no, nothing serious, David. Just
some laboratory results we're a little

670
00:38:48,430 --> 00:38:49,430
concerned about.

671
00:38:49,530 --> 00:38:50,468
What's wrong?

672
00:38:50,470 --> 00:38:53,850
Well, we've been running a routine test
on you twice each day to check your

673
00:38:53,850 --> 00:38:54,850
renal functions.

674
00:38:55,090 --> 00:38:57,910
Yesterday, your potassium level was at 5
.8.

675
00:38:58,250 --> 00:39:00,290
Last night, it was down to a 3 .5.

676
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:04,100
Now, this morning, it's back up to a
five again, and roughly the same thing

677
00:39:04,100 --> 00:39:05,200
happened with your sodium levels.

678
00:39:05,540 --> 00:39:07,620
Well, what's that mean? Has my condition
gotten worse?

679
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:09,820
No, no, you're fine. Those are normal
levels.

680
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,600
Well, I don't understand, then. What's
the problem?

681
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:15,180
Well, see, we just can't account for the
dip.

682
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:18,420
The only way that would happen is if you
were so sick that you were losing

683
00:39:18,420 --> 00:39:21,600
liquid. Or if you'd overexerted and
started to sweat.

684
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,940
Well, that doesn't make any sense,
either. I've been in bed for days.

685
00:39:25,980 --> 00:39:29,700
Except when you rushed over to Todd
Grimes' house, shot his wife, and rushed

686
00:39:29,700 --> 00:39:30,860
back here before your test.

687
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:35,660
But I didn't. I've never even met Grimes
or his wife. Why would I want to kill

688
00:39:35,660 --> 00:39:38,140
her? You weren't aiming at her. It was
Stephanie.

689
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,640
You were having an affair with her. And
that's why your wife left you, isn't it?

690
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,280
When she left you for Todd, you were
enraged.

691
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,880
But the one thing you didn't know was
that she had made herself over to look

692
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:48,880
like Kim.

693
00:39:49,240 --> 00:39:50,820
You shot the wrong woman, Dave.

694
00:39:53,589 --> 00:39:57,310
That's not possible. Think about it. You
said it yourself, Jesse. I've just had

695
00:39:57,310 --> 00:39:59,390
major surgery. I'm in no condition to go
anywhere.

696
00:39:59,670 --> 00:40:00,970
That's why you were sweating so much.

697
00:40:01,170 --> 00:40:02,750
You shouldn't have been walking around,
but you were.

698
00:40:05,330 --> 00:40:06,330
You were right, Dad.

699
00:40:06,610 --> 00:40:10,550
Mr. Chambers owns a gun just like
Stephanie's. And it's consistent with

700
00:40:10,550 --> 00:40:11,730
weapon that killed Kim Grimes.

701
00:40:12,230 --> 00:40:15,470
We know that Benchmark like their
salespeople to carry weapons to protect

702
00:40:15,470 --> 00:40:17,270
themselves. So I had Steve checking out.

703
00:40:17,550 --> 00:40:19,250
This is a warrant to search your
belongings.

704
00:40:21,510 --> 00:40:22,510
Don't bother.

705
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:25,680
The gun is in my briefcase.

706
00:40:36,820 --> 00:40:38,460
You have the right to remain silent.

707
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,600
Anything you say can and will be used
against you in a court of law.

708
00:40:42,660 --> 00:40:46,280
I gave Stephanie everything I had to
give, and once she had it, she just...

709
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:49,460
walked away from me like I was nothing.

710
00:40:51,370 --> 00:40:54,590
I never meant to hurt Kim Grimes. God
forgive me. I'm so sorry.

711
00:40:56,610 --> 00:41:00,530
Dave, what gave you the idea that
Stephanie would be at Todd Grimes' house

712
00:41:00,530 --> 00:41:02,030
night? She told me.

713
00:41:02,890 --> 00:41:04,330
She rubbed it in my face.

714
00:41:12,350 --> 00:41:13,390
Dave was set up.

715
00:41:14,150 --> 00:41:17,930
I think Stephanie planned for Dave to
mistake Kim for her.

716
00:41:18,170 --> 00:41:20,350
I guess that's the real reason why she
wanted to change her look.

717
00:41:20,730 --> 00:41:23,170
Well, it came out of the way. She
figured she'd have Todd all to herself.

718
00:41:24,430 --> 00:41:27,230
Stephanie didn't actually pull the
trigger, but she engineered the whole

719
00:41:27,890 --> 00:41:30,210
I think we ought to let Todd know what
really happened.

720
00:41:36,490 --> 00:41:37,368
Where's Todd?

721
00:41:37,370 --> 00:41:38,390
He's been bailed out.

722
00:41:39,170 --> 00:41:42,470
Well, that doesn't make sense. When I
talked to him, he wasn't interested in

723
00:41:42,470 --> 00:41:46,130
bail. He'd practically given up. He
didn't post the bail. Somebody else did.

724
00:41:46,690 --> 00:41:47,690
Stephanie Hitcher.

725
00:41:48,310 --> 00:41:49,310
What?

726
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:54,240
Steve Todd thinks that Stephanie killed
his wife if he let her bail him out. He

727
00:41:54,240 --> 00:41:55,360
did it just so he could kill her

728
00:42:36,430 --> 00:42:37,970
I miss you so much, I think, for you.

729
00:42:40,610 --> 00:42:43,550
I know you've been through a nightmare,
baby, but it's over now.

730
00:42:45,630 --> 00:42:46,770
I'm here for you.

731
00:42:48,470 --> 00:42:49,810
And you are free.

732
00:42:52,150 --> 00:42:52,590
I

733
00:42:52,590 --> 00:42:59,630
killed

734
00:42:59,630 --> 00:43:00,630
my wife.

735
00:43:01,270 --> 00:43:03,050
No. Todd, please.

736
00:43:03,730 --> 00:43:05,570
You've got to believe me. I would never.

737
00:43:06,140 --> 00:43:11,400
ever do anything to hurt you. You loved
me, and Kim was an obstacle, so you

738
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:12,400
removed her.

739
00:43:12,820 --> 00:43:14,700
I couldn't.

740
00:43:18,060 --> 00:43:19,060
Dave.

741
00:43:20,240 --> 00:43:21,820
Dave, we were involved.

742
00:43:22,100 --> 00:43:25,420
We were lovers, and I was trying to find
a way to break it off, only he wouldn't

743
00:43:25,420 --> 00:43:26,118
let go.

744
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:29,560
So I told him about us, thinking that
maybe that would help end things, and he

745
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,160
knew. He knew that I was going to see
you later that night.

746
00:43:34,830 --> 00:43:35,870
looked just like Kim.

747
00:43:38,850 --> 00:43:39,850
Oh, my God.

748
00:43:42,350 --> 00:43:44,710
Oh, this couldn't have happened because
of me.

749
00:43:46,350 --> 00:43:48,890
Not because I made the same mistake
again.

750
00:43:50,570 --> 00:43:51,650
What mistake?

751
00:43:54,170 --> 00:43:56,330
Because I care so much about you.

752
00:43:58,490 --> 00:44:01,190
I just assumed that you cared about me,
too.

753
00:44:06,250 --> 00:44:07,250
My wife.

754
00:44:11,430 --> 00:44:17,390
I forgive you for attacking me and I
come here with open arms.

755
00:44:18,110 --> 00:44:20,010
And this is how you thank me?

756
00:44:20,710 --> 00:44:21,710
With a gun?

757
00:44:22,210 --> 00:44:24,250
I didn't want Kim to die.

758
00:44:25,830 --> 00:44:28,030
You're even weaker than the others.

759
00:44:28,850 --> 00:44:32,050
How could I have been so wrong about
you? You're pathetic.

760
00:44:34,610 --> 00:44:35,610
Goodbye.

761
00:44:39,779 --> 00:44:41,280
Stephanie, put the gun down.

762
00:44:42,020 --> 00:44:43,020
Now.

763
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:53,960
Could have had it all.

764
00:45:14,890 --> 00:45:16,870
Bleeding out. His radial's cut.

765
00:45:17,750 --> 00:45:20,770
What are his vitals? BP's 90 over 60.
Rhythm is sinus.

766
00:45:21,370 --> 00:45:22,370
I'm tying off.

767
00:45:22,570 --> 00:45:26,130
There's something's wrong with the
ventilator. He's becoming hypoxic. I'm

768
00:45:26,130 --> 00:45:27,890
stopping. He could risk cardiac arrest.

769
00:45:28,550 --> 00:45:31,790
Not if we use the spare ventilator.

770
00:45:32,450 --> 00:45:33,790
Hey, that's cheating.

771
00:45:34,350 --> 00:45:35,510
No, that's coming prepared.

772
00:45:36,150 --> 00:45:39,270
Hope he didn't cheat in school. Norman,
you're talking to a man with a scalpel

773
00:45:39,270 --> 00:45:42,130
in his hand. One slip and you could
become Norma before you know it.

774
00:45:57,450 --> 00:46:01,050
On America's night of television, Walt
Whitman comes to town with a

775
00:46:01,050 --> 00:46:02,090
controversial secret.

776
00:46:02,310 --> 00:46:05,830
If it's true and I didn't see it, what
else have I missed? All new Dr.

777
00:46:06,050 --> 00:46:10,830
Quinn. Then, when intolerance leads to
violence, Gerald McRaney must fight for

778
00:46:10,830 --> 00:46:11,589
what's right.

779
00:46:11,590 --> 00:46:15,310
You can't run away from trouble. Rue
McClanahan in a special promised land

780
00:46:15,310 --> 00:46:16,310
Dr. Quinn's...
