[MUSIC PLAYING]

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

OH, YEAH. YEAH. I THINK THEY LIKED US.

OH, WELL, WE WON'T GIVE OUR OUR DAY JOBS QUITE YET.

HEY, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THOSE IS, LIKE, A WHOLE PACK OF CIGARETTES.

IS THAT RIGHT? YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.

HERE WE GO. LOOK, I'M GOIN' TO THE BAR.

YOU LADIES WORK IT OUT.

WELL, I'M RIGHT, AND YOU KNOW IT. I KNOW.

HEY, I WANT YOU TO MEET SOME PEOPLE FROM THE HOSPITAL.

HOW ABOUT THESE FINGERS, HUH? WHOO!

NOT JUST FOR SURGERY.

JACK, THESE ARE THE BEST AND BRIGHTEST

THAT THE MEDICAL PROFESSION HAS TO OFFER.

GREAT SET. GOOD PEOPLE.

BEST AND THE BRIGHTEST, HUH?

WHY DON'T YOU COME WORK FOR ME?

HEY, LEAVE MY PEOPLE ALONE.

RIGHT.

DR. GORDON? GOOD TO MEET YOU.

YES?

YOU STOLE MY MOTHER'S MONEY.

GUN!

CAPTIONING MADE POSSIBLE BY CBS PRODUCTIONS AND CBS, INC.

HER NAME IS MARY SULLIVAN.

SHE SAYS HER MOTHER DIED 4 WEEKS AGO.

ABBY SULLIVAN.

SHE HAD PANCREATIC CANCER.

AND DR. GORDON WAS TREATING HER?

WELL, I OVERSEE THE ENTIRE ONCOLOGY DEPARTMENT,

BUT, YEAH, DR. GORDON WAS HER PRIMARY PHYSICIAN.

SHE MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT DR. GORDON

STEALING MONEY FROM HER MOTHER.

YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT?

NO. NO, NOTHING AT ALL.

IS HE DEAD?

NO.

HE SHOULD BE.

YOU KNOW, YOU CAN HAVE AN ATTORNEY PRESENT

IF YOU WANT ONE.

WHAT'S THE POINT?

WHY'D YOU SHOOT HIM?

DR. GORDON...

MANIPULATED MY MOTHER.

HE GOT HER TO SIGN OVER HER ESTATE.

YOU EVER CONSIDER GETTIN' A LAWYER INSTEAD OF A GUN?

EVERY LAWYER I TALKED TO TOLD ME THAT IF I CONTESTED IT,

I WOULDN'T WIN.

DR. GORDON...

TOOK WHAT WAS MINE.

I WASN'T ABOUT TO LET HIM GET AWAY WITH IT.

YOU GOT ANY PROOF? SHE WAS WEAK.

THAT'S NOT PROOF. HE DIDN'T TAKE GOOD CARE OF HER.

HE JUST GOT WHAT HE WANTED AND LET HER DIE.

HOLD ON HERE.

NOW, FIRST YOU'RE SAYIN' THAT HE MANIPULATED HER,

AND NOW YOU'RE SAYIN' THAT HE KILLED HER.

MY MOTHER WAS DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER 3 YEARS AGO.

HER DOCTOR AT THE TIME GAVE HER 6 YEARS TO LIVE.

SHE LIVED HALF OF THAT.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAW YOUR MOTHER?

IT DOESN'T MATTER.

6 MONTHS SOUND ABOUT RIGHT?

THAT WAS THE LAST TIME YOU VISITED THE HOSPITAL.

SEE, I THINK YOUR MOTHER LEFT THE MONEY

TO WHO SHE THOUGHT DESERVED IT

AND NOW YOU'RE ANGRY YOU DIDN'T GET YOUR SLICE OF THE PIE.

I WISH I'D KILLED HIM.

WELL, MARY SULLIVAN, ABBY'S SULLIVAN'S DAUGHTER,

WANTS TO HAVE HER MOTHER'S BODY EXHUMED.

SHE BELIEVES THAT DR. GORDON'S NEGLIGENCE

CONTRIBUTED TO HER MOTHER'S DEATH.

JACK, RAPIDLY MUTATING CELLS

IS WHAT CONTRIBUTED TO HER MOTHER'S DEATH.

DO YOU AGREE WITH HIS DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT?

YOU DON'T THINK THERE COULD'VE BEEN A MISTAKE?

LOOK, RESIDENTS WORK 16 HOURS A DAY.

THEY CAN AND THEY HAVE MADE MISTAKES,

BUT ABBY WAS TERMINAL.

IT CAN HAPPEN THAT WAY WITH CANCER PATIENTS, JACK.

ONE DAY, THEY'RE GREAT. THE NEXT DAY, THEY'RE GONE.

NO. NO, NO.

I WILL STAKE MY REPUTATION ON DR. GORDON.

ABBY SULLIVAN DIED BECAUSE IT WAS HER TIME TO GO,

AND IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THAT.

DID YOU KNOW THAT SHE LEFT HER ENTIRE ESTATE

TO THE GOOD DOCTOR?

NO.

YEAH.

WELL, I MEAN, HE HASN'T GOTTEN THE MONEY YET

BECAUSE THE DAUGHTER IS CONTESTING THE WILL,

BUT, YOU KNOW--

DOCTORS ACCEPTING MONEY FROM PATIENTS,

WELL, I DON'T THINK IT BREAKS ANY LAW, DOES IT?

IT'S LEGAL. THE ETHICS STINK.

HEY, NANCE.

WHAT, DID YOU FORGET TO SHOWER THIS MORNING,

OR DO YOU WANT TO BE ALONE?

YOU GUYS HAVE ANY ASPIRIN?

YOU HAVE A HEADACHE?

NO, BUT I WILL TONIGHT AT APPROXIMATELY 7:30.

WHAT IS IT, A BLIND DATE?

NO, AT EXACTLY 7:30,

MY MOTHER WILL BE PICKING UP THE SALAD PLATES

AND BRINGING OUT THE MEAT LOAF.

OOH, FAMILY NIGHT AT THE PARRAS' RESIDENCE.

ME, MY BROTHERS.

WHOA! THE WHOLE GANG. Nancy: YEAH.

WHAT'S THE OCCASION?

MOM SAID IT WAS DAD'S IDEA.

LIKE THIS IS GONNA MAKE UP FOR ALL THOSE YEARS?

WELL, IT'S A START, RIGHT?

IT TOOK HUNTINGTON'S DISEASE

TO REMIND THE MAN THAT HE HAD A FAMILY.

Brander: HEY, IT'S BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.

THE GLASS IS ALWAYS HALF-FULL WITH YOU, ISN'T IT?

THAT IS WHAT IS SO GREAT ABOUT YOU, BRANDER:

YOU'RE SO OPTIMISTIC.

WELL, THANK YOU.

AND SWEET.

AND ALWAYS SO GENEROUS WITH YOUR TIME.

NO, NANCE.

I'M NOT GOIN' WITH YOU.

IT'S ONE NIGHT.

YEAH, WITH THE DYSFUNCTION BUNCH. HEH-HOO!

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

HA!

GUYS?

NO! NO!

OH, CHIEF!

DID YOU GET A CHANCE TO GO OVER MY REPORTS

THAT I DID ON THE OVERNIGHT?

NO, I WILL AT ONCE, THOUGH.

OH, GOOD. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF FORMAT YOU PREFER--

I GOT A NOTE!

THIS THING'S BEEN UP FOR A YEAR.

THIS IS MY FIRST NOTE.

OH.

WE'RE BREAKIN' SOME ICE HERE.

WHAT?

"YOUR CHEAP, FLASHY WARDROBE IS DISTRACTING

AND DOES NOT COMMAND RESPECT"?

BRANDER? CHIEF?

DID YOU SEE WHO PUT THIS NOTE IN THE BOX?

NO, SIR.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "NO, SIR"?

COME ON. YOUR DESK IS 10 FEET AWAY.

YOU HAVE AN UNOBSTRUCTED VIEW.

BUT I'M NOT HERE EVERY SECOND.

I ALSO HAVE PAPERWORK. THAT'S NO EXCUSE.

YES, SIR.

CHIEF. YEAH.

ABBY SULLIVAN'S AUTOPSY.

WE HAD THE CORONER EXPEDITE IT JUST IN CASE HE MISSED SOMETHING.

ALL RIGHT, COME ON IN.

SHE HAD CANCER, BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT KILLED HER.

SHE WAS GIVEN A LETHAL DOSE OF MORPHINE AND SPEED.

$600,000.

[WHISTLES]

THAT IS A LOT OF MONEY.

YEAH, BUT I NEVER GOT IT.

BUT YOU'RE GOING TO AFTER THE LAWYERS SORT THINGS OUT, RIGHT?

MAYBE.

$175,000.

THAT'S ABOUT HOW MUCH YOU OWE ON YOUR STUDENT LOANS.

340,000--

MORTGAGE ON THE CONDO YOU RECENTLY PURCHASED.

29,000 FOR THE S.U.V. YOU'RE LEASING.

THAT IS A HELL OF A NUT YOU'VE GOT THERE, DOCTOR.

WHAT ARE YOU SUGGESTING?

ASIDE FROM YOU AND THE REST OF THE ONCOLOGY STAFF,

WHO ELSE HAD ACCESS TO ABBY SULLIVAN'S ROOM?

YOU THINK I KILLED ABBY SULLIVAN, DON'T YOU?

WE NEVER SAID THAT.

MARY SULLIVAN SHOT ME. SHE WAS THERE TO KILL ME,

AND NOW I'M THE GUILTY ONE?

EXCUSE ME.

DOES THIS HAVE TO BE DONE HERE?

WELL, WE COULD CHECK HIM OUT OF THE HOSPITAL

AND DO IT DOWN AT THE PRECINCT.

HE'S RECOVERING FROM A GUNSHOT WOUND.

THEN WE DON'T HAVE A CHOICE, DO WE, DOCTOR?

Woman: YOUR BROTHERS MUST BE RUNNING LATE. LET'S START.

THIS ALL LOOKS REALLY GOOD, MOM.

YEAH. YOU KNOW WHAT? IT'S TURKEY.

I JUST READ THIS ARTICLE THAT SAID THAT, UH...

TURKEY MEAT LOAF HAS HALF THE FAT OF THE REGULAR KIND.

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? [LAUGHS]

CAN YOU PASS THE MEAT-- THE...MASHED POTATOES?

I MEAN, WHO WOULD'VE THUNK,

TURKEY BEING ABLE TO TASTE EVEN REMOTELY AS GOOD

AS REGULAR OLD GROUND BEEF?

I WISH YOUR BROTHERS WERE HERE.

THEY LOVE MEAT LOAF. [LAUGHS]

OH, AND THE GARLIC MASHED POTATOES

ARE THE ONES THAT ERIC LIKED,

ALTHOUGH I DON'T THINK THEY'RE GONNA TASTE QUITE SO GOOD

WHEN YOU REHEAT THEM IN THE MICROWAVE, YOU KNOW?

I REALLY LIKE WHAT YOU'VE DONE WITH YOUR HAIR.

OH, DO YOU? OH. OH, GOOD.

YEAH, I HOPED YOU WOULD.

I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT CHANGING THE COLOR FOREVER,

AND, YOU KNOW, IT JUST, UH,

REACHED THAT POINT WHERE YOU SAY, "WHAT THE HELL? GO FOR IT."

HUH? CHANGE IS GOOD, RIGHT?

HERE. HONEY, LET ME JUST GET THAT FOR YOU, OK?

I'M OK.

LET ME JUST DO IT, ALL RIGHT?

THERE YOU GO, HON. I'M...OK.

ALL RIGHT.

OH, UH, DO YOU KNOW WE'RE GONNA REMODEL THE HOUSE?

NO. SINCE WHEN?

WELL, WE HAVE TO MAKE, YOU KNOW,

A FEW ADJUSTMENTS HERE AND THERE FOR YOUR DAD,

SO I SAID TO MYSELF, I SAID, "EVELYN, THIS IS THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY

TO TAKE NANCY'S OLD ROOM AND CONVERT IT INTO THAT STUDY WE'VE ALWAYS WANTED,"

ALTHOUGH I DON'T KNOW WHEN I'M GOING TO FIND THE TIME.

I MEAN, DOING A REMODEL IS A LOT OF TIME AND ENERGY,

AND I'VE STARTED VOLUNTEERING NOW AT THE SCHOOL 2 DAYS A WEEK,

TUESDAYS AND THURSDAYS, BUT THE KIDS THERE--

[GASPS]

SHUT...UP.

YOU...CAN'T...

CAMOUFLAGE...MY PROBLEM.

WITH CONVERSATION...

EVELYN.

SHE CAN SEE IT.

SHE CAN SEE IT.

BROTHERS NEVER EVEN CALLED.

THEY COULD HAVE AT LEAST HAD THE COURTESY TO PICK UP THE PHONE

AND CALL.

I'M SURE THEY HAD GOOD REASON.

ME.

I'M THE REASON.

WELL, I HAVE THE EARLY SHIFT TOMORROW.

NANCY?

WAIT.

THERE'S SOMETHING I NEED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT.

WHAT IS IT, DAD?

THESE LAST FEW WEEKS...

I'VE GOTTEN A LOT WORSE.

I WANT YOUR HELP.

IT MIGHT BE YEARS.

IT MIGHT BE MONTHS,

BUT I NEED YOUR HELP.

SURE, DAD.

YOUR MOTHER,

SHE'S STRONG, BUT SHE'S NOT...

STRONG ENOUGH.

SHE WON'T GET THROUGH THIS.

SHE WON'T BE ALONE. I'LL BE HERE.

I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS A LOT.

I...

I DON'T WANT TO WITHER UP AND DIE.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

WHEN THE TIME COMES,

IF I CAN'T MANAGE MYSELF,

I WANT YOU...

TO HELP ME END THIS ON MY TERMS.

I WANT YOU...

TO TAKE MY LIFE.

WE CHECKED EVERYONE IN ONCOLOGY

THE NIGHT ABBY SULLIVAN WAS MURDERED.

AIRTIGHT ALIBIS ALL AROUND.

DETECTIVE PAGE, WHAT DO YOU HAVE FOR ME?

GOT A TOXICOLOGY REPORT. WE'VE ISOLATED THE ELEMENTS

IN THE COCKTAIL THAT KILLED ABBY SULLIVAN.

IT'S THE SAME THING THAT WE FIND IN THE NINTH DISTRICT.

IT'S OXY CUT WITH LOW-GRADE METH. IT'S CALLED HEAVEN.

THEY SAY IT MAKES YOU WANT TO LIVE FOREVER.

NOBODY LIVES FOREVER.

CHECK WITH YOUR CIs, RATTLE SOME CAGES.

HEAVEN, HUH?

YEP.

HEY, PARRAS, CHECK WITH NARCOTICS.

SEE WHO'S DEALIN' HEAVEN IN THE NINTH

AND ASK HIM FOR A LIST OF THEIR DRUG ARRESTS IN THE LAST MONTH.

ALSO, CHECK WITH VICE. MAYBE THERE'S SOME KIND OF CONNECTION THERE.

SHOULD I DO ALL OF THIS BEFORE OR AFTER I GET YOUR LUNCH,

OR BETTER YET, MAYBE YOU SHOULD HANDLE IT, OK, DEBRENO?

HEY, NANCY!

HEY, WAIT UP.

AT FIRST, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.

YEAH, WELL, I HOPE YOU TOLD YOUR FATHER NO.

OH, COME ON, NANCE.

I TOLD HIM NO,

AND HE ACTUALLY GOT MAD AND ASKED ME TO THINK ABOUT IT,

TO RECONSIDER.

I'M SORRY, NANCE.

MY FATHER HAS NEVER ASKED ME FOR ANYTHING HIS ENTIRE LIFE.

AND NOW THIS.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR BROTHERS?

DAD WOULD NEVER ASK THEM.

WHY'S THAT?

PRIDE.

HE'S ALWAYS BEEN THIS MACHO GUY,

TELLING HIS SONS TO BE TOUGH IN LIFE

AND KICK ASS, DON'T BACK DOWN.

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT,

IF I EVER GET TO A SPOT WHERE I CAN'T FUNCTION,

I SURE AS HELL HOPE SOMEONE PULLS THE PLUG ON ME.

WHILE THERE'S LIFE, THERE'S HOPE.

SOME CASES ARE HOPELESS.

YEAH, BUT THAT DOESN'T JUSTIFY BEING JUDGE, JURY, AND EXECUTIONER.

NO, BUT IT'S NOT FAIR TO THE PERSON SUFFERING.

IT'S NOT FAIR TO THE SURVIVORS.

SOMETIMES, PHIL, IT'S BEST ALL THE WAY AROUND JUST TO LET IT GO.

NO. YOU'RE WRONG, RAY. WHATEVER YOU SAY.

NO. DON'T DISMISS ME, RAY. TAKING A LIFE--

WHATEVER YOU SAY, PHIL!

I'M SORRY.

JACK.

HEY! UH, DR. GORDON'S RESTING.

UH-HUH.

WELL, I JUST WANT TO ASK HIM A FEW QUESTIONS.

I'D RATHER HE GET SOME SLEEP IF YOU DON'T MIND.

HE'S HAD POLICE IN AND OUT OF HIS ROOM ALL NIGHT.

DOCTOR'S ORDERS?

YEAH.

OK.

HEY, MR. ADAMS, HOW ARE YOU FEELING?

BEEN BETTER.

ARE YOU STAYING AWAY FROM THE GIRLS AND THE ICE CREAM?

ONE OUT OF 2 AIN'T BAD.

[LAUGHS]

THAT'S RIGHT.

YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOING THROUGH MR. ADAMS' MIND RIGHT NOW?

HOW MUCH UNBELIEVABLE PAIN HE'S IN

AND HOW THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO HOPE HE'S EVER GONNA GET ANY BETTER.

WELL...

THERE WAS THE GIRLS AND THE ICE CREAM.

LOOK, LOOK, I KNOW I SOUND LIKE A BROKEN RECORD,

BUT DR. GORDON HAD ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH HER DEATH.

WE'LL SEE.

OK, I GOTTA GO.

ALL RIGHT.

[ACCORDION PLAYING]

[ACCORDION FINISHES TUNE]

OH...HEY, CHIEF.

SOMETHING WRONG?

♪ ♪

[DISCORDANT KEYS PLAY]

A SECOND NOTE.

OH.

GOOD. THAT BOX OF YOURS IS CATCHIN' ON.

"THE CHIEF'S CIGAR SMOKE...

STINKS."

AND AS YOU CAN SEE,

IT'S WRITTEN IN THE SAME HANDWRITING AS THE FIRST NOTE.

OHHH.

GLAD TO SEE THOSE DETECTIVE SKILLS ARE WORKIN' FOR YA.

HA HA HA!

YEAH, I'M THINKIN' ABOUT TAKIN' IT TO THE LAB, YATES,

UNLESS, OF COURSE,

THERE'S SOMETHING YOU'D LIKE TO TELL ME.

ME?

THE SUGGESTION BOX HAS BEEN HERE FOR A YEAR.

NO NOTES.

THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, YOU ARRIVE,

AND SUDDENLY, 2 NOTES.

WELL, IT WASN'T ME.

YATES, THE DOOR TO MY OFFICE SWINGS BOTH WAYS.

NOW, THE WOMAN THAT OCCUPIED THIS OFFICE BEFORE YOU,

WE HAD A OPENNESS AND A FRANKNESS

AND HONESTY

WHERE WE DIDN'T NEED TO PASS NOTES.

REALLY? YEAH.

I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT.

SO IF THERE'S SOMETHING YOU NEED TO TELL ME,

FEEL FREE. GO AHEAD.

YOU MEAN THAT?

I'M LISTENING.

OK.

LEAVE.

I HAVE WORK TO DO.

AND TAKE YOUR NOTE.

WE HAVE WAYS OF MAKING YOU TALK, YATES.

[PLAYING TUNE]

HE USED TO BE UP THERE, RIGHT?

HEY.

HEY, SHAG!

SHAG, BUDDY, YOU MOVED.

WE'VE BEEN LOOKING ALL OVER FOR YOU.

I LIKE THE NEW DIGS, MAN.

WHAT YOU GOT THERE?

OH, BREAKFAST IN BED, HUH?

OH, NO, STARSKY, THAT AIN'T EVEN MINE.

THAT'S THAT FOOL'S RIGHT OVER THERE, MAN.

COME ON. GET UP NOW. I WANT TO TALK TO YOU.

I AIN'T EVEN DO NOTHIN', MAN.

WHOA, WHOA. YOU OK, MAN?

YEAH, MAN. UH, WHAT?

HELLO.

ALL RIGHT.

SWEET. THANKS, MAN.

TAKE CARE.

NO. HEY, MAN. OH.

WHAT YOU DO THAT FOR, MAN?

WELL, YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'RE HUNGRY.

NO! NO, NO. THE PICTURE, MAN.

WHY YOU ALL TAKE MY SNAP FOR, MAN?

OH, THIS?

THAT'S NICE.

YOU GUYS LOOK LIKE YOU'RE REAL CLOSE BUDDIES.

OH.

AW, NO. BUSINESS PARTNERS.

NO, NO, MAN.

WE AIN'T IN BUSINESS.

I AIN'T IN BUSINESS WITH DENZEL OVER HERE, MAN.

REALLY? LOOKS THAT WAY TO ME.

YOU KNOW WHAT? MY PARTNER'S RIGHT.

AND, YOU KNOW, THEY SAY A PICTURE'S WORTH 1,000 WORDS,

AND THIS PICTURE LOOKS TO ME

LIKE YOU'RE IN THE POCKET OF A COUPLE OF MPD OFFICERS.

IT DOES LOOK THAT WAY, DOESN'T IT?

YEAH. OH, MAN.

YOU HAVE A GOOD DAY NOW.

LOOK, MAN. OK, WHAT DO I GOTTA DO, MAN?

WELL, UH...YOU COULD GIVE US THE NAME OF THE CANDY MAN

WHO'S CORNERED OXY AND METH SPEEDBALLS.

THAT'D BE NICE.

OH, MAN, THAT'S LIKE HEAVEN, MAN.

WELL, TAKE US THERE.

SO IF I DON'T SPILL,

Y'ALL GONNA MAKE SURE THAT PICTURE

GONNA SHOW UP TO THE RIGHT PEOPLE, HUH?

TSK! DAMN, HE IS SHARP, DENZEL.

YEAH. OH, COME ON.

Y'ALL GONNA GET ME KILLED, DAWG.

NOT UNLESS YOU GIVE US A NAME.

ALL RIGHT, UM...

RUBIO DRUCKER.

ALL RIGHT? YEAH.

NOW, CHECK IT OUT, MAN.

THIS CAT, YOU KNOW, HE GOT THIS, UH,

THIS SKULL TATTOO ON HIS LEFT CHEEK

OR MAYBE IT'S HIS RIGHT CHEEK,

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYIN'?

HE'S JUST GOT A SERIOUS TAT ON HIS GRILL, MAN.

WHERE IS HE?

WELL, THIS ALLEY BEHIND THIS ABANDONED GARAGE ON JERMAINE STREET.

RUBIO DRUCKER? YEAH.

COME ON. YOU KEEP THAT DOWN NOW, MAN.

CAN I GET THAT BACK, MAN?

YEAH. YOU ENJOY.

ALL RIGHT, IT'S TRAININ' DAY.

ISN'T THAT ROMANTIC?

MUST BE SPRING.

Debreno: HEY, ROMEO!

Page: TELL US ABOUT HEAVEN.

AHH!

YAH!

Page: PERP SAW US COMIN'

AND DECIDED TO GO FOR A RUN.

YEAH, AND THEN TRIED TO FLY.

MUST'VE THOUGHT HE WAS SUPERMAN.

IS THIS OUR GUY?

IT LOOKS LIKE IT.

WE FOUND THE STASH ON HIM AND A PRESCRIPTION BOTTLE.

I'LL HAVE TO GET IT OVER TO BUTTERFIELD,

SEE IF IT MATCHES UP WITH THE TOXICOLOGY ON ABBY SULLIVAN.

OXYCODONE HCL.

CELEBRITY MORPHINE.

CANDY TO THE STARS.

HOW'D A LOW-LIFE LIKE RUBIO DRUCKER GET A PRESCRIPTION FOR OXY

TO CUT WITH METH?

PROBABLY JUST ASKED FOR IT. SOME DOCTOR ON THE TAKE.

GORDON?

WHAT PHARMACY DID IT COME FROM?

I CAN'T HELP YOU THERE, KEMO SABE.

IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY TO TRACE IT?

NO, UNLESS OLD RUBIO RISES FROM THE DEAD.

OK.

YATES? YEAH?

YOU GOT A MINUTE?

I'M ALL YOURS. OH, GOOD.

ALL RIGHT, NOW,

I HAD QUESTIONED DOCUMENTS TAKE A LOOK AT THESE NOTES,

MM-HMM.

UH, SEEMS TO INDICATE THE PERSON THAT WROTE THESE

WAS TRYING TO DISGUISE THEIR HANDWRITING.

CHIEF, IS THIS REALLY THE BEST USE OF YOUR TIME?

I'D LIKE YOU TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE PENMANSHIP.

OH! JUST A MINUTE. AHH.

OK.

Yates: I'M SORRY.

I'M SORRY. I RE-- I APOLOGIZE.

NOW, TELL ME ABOUT THE NOTES. WHAT HAPPENED?

TAKE A LOOK AT THE PEN PRESSURE... MM-HMM.

YEAH. THE TRAJECTORY LENGTH.

THIS MEANS THAT THE PERSON WRITING THIS

WAS CONCENTRATING VERY HARD,

TRYING TO DISGUISE THEIR HANDWRITING,

AND, UNDER THAT STRAIN,

IT TRANSFERS INTO THE ARM, YOU SEE,

AND IT AFFECTS THE PENMANSHIP.

THE INK IN BOTH NOTES WAS STANDARD-ISSUE BALLPOINT,

MUCH LIKE THE ONES WE ISSUE TO OUR UNIES.

MUCH LIKE...

THIS ONE.

GIVE ME, UH... JUST A MINUTE.

UH-HUH.

YOU CAN RUN, BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE, YATES.

LISTEN UP!

I'D LIKE EVERYBODY'S ATTENTION, PLEASE!

I KNOW THAT I AM NEW HERE,

SO I HOPE I'M NOT OUT OF LINE

IF I MAKE A SUGGESTION ON MY OWN

ABOUT THE CHIEF'S SUGGESTION BOX.

THIS SUGGESTION BOX IS HERE

SO THAT WE CAN MAKE THIS POLICE STATION FUNCTION BETTER.

IT IS NOT THERE FOR PERSONAL ATTACKS ON ANYBODY'S WARDROBE

OR BAD HABITS.

NOW, BELIEVE ME, I WOULD BE THE FIRST TO TELL YOU

THAT THE CHIEF

SAME THING GOES WITH THAT ACCORDION PRACTICE

OR HOW HE WEARS THOSE GANGSTER-WANNABE SHOES.

SO, PLEASE,

CAN WE KEEP THE SUGGESTION BOX

JUST FOR CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM ON FIGHTING CRIME,

AND THE REST OF IT,

KEEP IT TO YOURSELVES.

HERE.

ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY, BACK TO WORK.

SOMETHING WRONG?

I'M FINE.

YEAH. YOU'VE BEEN FINE ALL DAY.

WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO TELL NANCY IT'S OK TO KILL HER FATHER?

MAN, THAT'S NOT WHAT I SAID.

IT JUST HAPPENS TO BE MY OPINION

THAT PROLONGING THE SUFFERING OF SOMEONE

IS NOT GOOD FOR ANYONE INVOLVED.

IT'S NOT YOUR FATHER,

NOT YOUR MOTHER. IT'S NOT YOUR BROTHER.

IT DOESN'T MATTER.

OH, YOU'RE NOT THE ONE DEALING WITH IT DAY TO DAY, ALL RIGHT?

OH, WELL, YOU'RE NOT EITHER, RAY. IT'S NANCY!

Radio: 6042, HANDLE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE,

814 KIRWOOD AVENUE.

6042. ROGER ON THE CALL.

START DIALIN'.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MANY PHARMACIES THERE ARE IN THIS CITY?

LOOK, MAN, JUST PICK THE ONE CLOSEST TO WHERE RUBIO LIVES

AND WORK OUT FROM THERE.

Nancy: HEY, GUYS.

PROBLEM?

[SIGHS, LAUGHS]

YEAH. WE GOT OUR NEEDLE.

IT'S THE SIZE OF THE HAYSTACK THAT'S GIVING US TROUBLE.

WHAT'S THE RECYCLE CODE?

THE WHAT?

RECYCLE CODE?

EVERY PLASTIC CONTAINER'S GOT A RECYCLE CODE FROM ONE TO 7,

7 BEING THE MOST DIFFICULT TO RECYCLE.

ONE. THAT'S ABOUT AS ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE AS YOU GET.

TRY GEORGE DRUGS-- THEY'RE MAJOR TREE HUGGERS--

AND BROTHER'S PHARMACY.

THAT'S WHERE MY FATHER GETS ALL HIS MEDICATION.

WE COOL?

ALWAYS.

DETECTIVE PARRAS,

THERE'S A WOMAN ON THE LINE FOR YOU.

SHE SAID IT'S IMPORTANT.

THANK YOU FOR AGREEING TO MEET ME LIKE THIS.

I REALIZE THIS IS NOT HOW IT'S USUALLY DONE.

[LAUGHS]

DO YOU HAVE TO WRITE DOWN WHAT I SAY?

IF YOU DON'T WANT ME TO.

MISS NUMARA, CAN I DRIVE YOU SOMEWHERE,

MAYBE GET YOU A CUP OF COFFEE?

NO. I'M FINE. I'M FINE.

ARE YOU GONNA ARREST DR. GORDON?

WE DON'T KNOW.

THE INVESTIGATION'S ONGOING.

MISS NUMARA, WHAT DID YOU WANT TO TALK TO ME ABOUT?

DR. GORDON IS A GOOD MAN. I LIKE HIM,

BUT 2 DAYS BEFORE ABBY DIED,

HE TOLD ME NOT TO GIVE HER THE REGULAR INJECTIONS ANYMORE.

HE TOOK MISS SULLIVAN OFF HER MEDICATION?

WHAT KIND OF INJECTIONS WERE THESE?

PROCRIT AND NEUPOGEN.

WHICH ARE FOR...

PROCRIT BUILDS RED BLOOD CELLS.

NEUPOGEN, WHITE CELLS.

IT WON'T CURE THE CANCER, BUT IT WILL SUSTAIN LIFE

BY ALLOWING THE BODY TO REPLENISH THE CELLS DESTROYED BY CHEMOTHERAPY.

DID YOU ASK DR. GORDON ABOUT THIS?

YEAH.

HE SAID SHE DIDN'T NEED IT.

AND YOU BELIEVED DENYING HER THE DRUGS ACCELERATED HER DEATH?

NO DOCTOR FROM MY EXPERIENCE--

YEAH, I THINK SO.

I GOTTA GO.

MISS SULLIVAN SAID SHE WANTED TO INCLUDE ME IN HER WILL.

SHE SAID IT WAS FOR TAKING SUCH GOOD CARE OF HER.

YOU TOOK HER OFF HER MEDICATION.

IS THAT WHAT YOU CALL TAKING GOOD CARE OF HER?

PROCRIT AND NEUPOGEN.

WHO TOLD YOU THAT? JUST ANSWER THE QUESTION, DOCTOR.

MISS SULLIVAN WAS FINISHED WITH HER CHEMOTHERAPY.

PROCRIT AND NEUPOGEN

WERE NO LONGER NECESSARY.

SHE WAS DYING.

AND IT WAS IN YOUR BEST INTEREST TO LET HER.

THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD'VE DONE TO SAVE THAT WOMAN.

THE DRUGS COULD'VE SUSTAINED HER LIFE.

FOR A DAY OR 2.

MISS SULLIVAN WAS SEVERELY ANEMIC.

IT WAS THE CHEMO THAT WAS KILLING HER FASTER THAN THE CANCER.

ASK ANY DOCTOR, THEY'LL TELL YOU I MADE THE RIGHT CALL.

DID MISS SULLIVAN MENTION HOW MUCH MONEY

SHE WAS PLANNING TO LEAVE YOU?

NO.

BUT YOU MUST HAVE THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING.

A HOUSE, MONEY IN THE BANK--

I MEAN, THE WOMAN WASN'T POOR.

YOU THOUGHT YOU'D WON THE LOTTERY, DIDN'T YOU?

I WAS THERE FOR HER, NIGHT AND DAY.

YEAH, AND YOU FOUND HER A LAWYER,

WHO, FOR A PIECE OF THE ACTION,

WOULD DRAW UP THE PAPERWORK,

COMPLETELY CUTTING MARY SULLIVAN OUT OF THE PICTURE!

LOOK, I TOLD YOU, I WANTED THE MONEY, BUT I DIDN'T KILL HER,

I SWEAR.

ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?

YEAH.

YEAH, OK. I GOT IT. THANKS.

THAT WAS BROTHER'S PHARMACY.

YEAH.

GUESS WHO WROTE RUBIO'S PRESCRIPTION?

WE'RE SURE IT WAS DR. CLAY?

YES, SIR. IN THE PAST 18 MONTHS,

HE'S WRITTEN 25 OXYCODONE PRESCRIPTIONS FOR RUBIO.

PLUS ANOTHER 20 FOR SOME OF RUBIO'S ASSOCIATES.

WE HAD THE PHARMACY CROSS-REFERENCE

ALL OF DR. CLAY'S PRESCRIPTIONS.

HE SPREAD 'EM AROUND SO THE PHARMACY WOULDN'T GET SUSPICIOUS.

NO WAY THE SIGNATURE'S FORGED?

WE'RE CHECKING, BUT IT LOOKS LEGIT.

WHEN WAS THE LAST PRESCRIPTION FILLED?

2 DAYS AGO.

THE BOTTLE WE FOUND ON RUBIO WAS HALF EMPTY?

YEP.

YOUR GRANDFATHER, HE WAS A WONDERFUL MAN.

YESTERDAY HE SEEMED OK.

IT CAN HAPPEN LIKE THAT.

I THINK HE RALLIED YESTERDAY FOR YOU.

BUT HE WAS IN PAIN.

HE WAS IN JUST TERRIBLE PAIN.

BUT SOMETIMES SOMETHING GREATER THAN US INTERVENES--

THE HAND OF GOD.

JACK.

THAT'S ALL OF DR. CLAY'S PATIENT FILES.

THANK YOU.

HELLO, MRS. MONTGOMERY.

HOW ARE YOU THIS EVENING?

[PANTING]

[MUMBLING]

SHE HAS HUNTINGTON'S DISEASE.

THE LAST FEW YEARS ARE THE WORST.

RUBIO WOULD GET THESE PRESCRIPTIONS FILLED,

COCKTAIL THE DRUG, KICK 'EM BACK TO DR. CLAY,

AND THEN HE'D USE THE STUFF TO KILL HIS PATIENTS.

SO DR. CLAY IS USING RUBIO

TO COVER HIS TRACKS.

HE HAD NO CHOICE AFTER THEY UPGRADED SECURITY.

IF HE STOLE FROM THE HOSPITAL, HE'D RISK GETTING CAUGHT.

WHERE DID HE MEET RUBIO?

HIS GRANDMOTHER WAS A PATIENT.

SHE STILL ALIVE?

SHE HAD BRAIN CANCER.

DIED WHILE UNDER HIS CARE.

WELL, DR. CLAY HAD A LOT OF PATIENTS.

AND A LOT OF THEM ARE DEAD.

YOU GOT A MINUTE?

I WANT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING.

NOPE. I'M GOING TO HEAD HOME.

PHIL...

IT'S IMPORTANT.

WHY DON'T YOU TAKE A RIDE WITH ME?

FINE.

HI. CAN I HELP YOU?

HEY THERE. HI, RAY.

I'D LIKE YOU TO MEET A FRIEND OF MINE.

THIS IS PHIL BRANDER.

HI. NICE TO MEET YOU.

PHIL, THIS IS LYDIA.

NICE TO MEET YOU.

WE'LL SEE YOU. WHAT DO YOU SAY, MOHAMMED?

HI, SIR.

HEY, BUDDY.

YOU'RE UP.

GOOD.

GIVE ME SOME.

COME ON NOW.

OH, YEAH.

BAM.

GOT SOMEBODY I WANT YOU TO MEET.

IT'S A FRIEND OF MINE.

THIS IS PHIL BRANDER.

PHIL, THIS IS MY BROTHER FREDDY.

I'VE TALKED TO YOU ABOUT PHIL BEFORE.

PHIL WORKS WITH ME.

HE'S THE SECOND BASEMAN.

HE'S NOT A BAD BALLPLAYER.

I MEAN, HE'S NOT ME, OF COURSE, BUT YOU KNOW.

[LAUGHS] HERE WE GO.

LET'S SEE HOW YOU'RE DOING RIGHT HERE NOW.

OH, OK. ALL RIGHT.

COME ON. GO WITH ME.

THERE YOU GO.

I NEVER KNEW YOU HAD A BROTHER, RAY.

I DON'T.

NOT ANYMORE.

YOU KNOW, PEOPLE NEED TO REDEFINE WHAT LIVING IS,

BECAUSE WHAT YOU SAW IN THERE,

THAT AIN'T IT.

HE'S STILL YOUR BROTHER.

NO, HE'S NOT.

MY BROTHER?

HE COULDN'T BE STOPPED ON A BASKETBALL COURT.

HE HAD A HOOK SHOT...

YOU KNOW, GIRLS WOULD BE LINED UP AROUND THE BLOCK ON FRIDAY NIGHT

FOR MY BROTHER.

MY BROTHER TAUGHT ME HOW TO DRIVE,

AND MY BROTHER, HE USED TO SAY,

"YOU AIN'T OUT THERE MAKING NOISE,

THEN YOU AIN'T LIVING. WHAT?"

WHEW.

NOW, YOU TELL ME...

IS THAT THE KIND OF MAN YOU SAW IN THERE?

A COUPLE MONTHS AGO, HE SAID SOMETHING TO ME

THAT RAISED A RED FLAG.

I LET IT GO.

COME ON, GIVE HIM THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT, YOU KNOW?

STOP BEING A COP.

HAVE MORE FAITH IN HUMANKIND.

THERE'S NO WAY YOU COULD HAVE SEEN ALL OF THIS.

YEAH, WELL, I HAD A HINT.

I HAD AN INKLING.

I SHOOK IT OFF.

IT WAS A BAD IDEA.

IS THIS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY?

YOU UNDERSTAND YOUR RIGHTS?

JACK, CAN WE JUST TALK?

YOU WERE READ YOUR RIGHTS.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND THEM?

YEAH, I UNDERSTAND MY RIGHTS.

GOOD.

ALL RIGHT, THE CORONER'S REPORT STATES

THAT ABBY SULLIVAN DIED FROM AN OVERDOSE OF OXYCODONE

AND METHAMPHETAMINES.

WHY WOULD YOU USE A DRUG TO MURDER THESE PEOPLE THAT COULD BE TRACED?

WAS THE SAME DRUG USED TO KILL MR. ADAMS?

YOU WANT TO USE THE WORD MURDER, DO YOU, JACK?

YEAH. WHAT WOULD YOU CALL IT?

I USED THAT DRUG

BECAUSE I THOUGHT THE BENEFITS OUTWEIGHED THE RISKS, JACK.

YOU KNOW WHAT THEY CALL THAT DRUG ON THE STREET?

THEY CALL IT "HEAVEN,"

AND IT MADE MY PATIENTS FEEL...

LIKE THEY WERE ALIVE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS.

AND IT MADE THEM FEEL

LIKE THEY WERE GOING TO A BETTER PLACE.

HOW MANY PEOPLE DID YOU SEND TO THE BETTER PLACE?

I DON'T KNOW.

WELL, TAKE A GUESS.

30, 35. I DON'T KNOW.

[BLOWS NOSE]

WHICH WAS IT, 30 OR 35?

I DON'T KNOW.

ANY WITNESSES? ANY ACCOMPLICES?

NO. NO, I DIDN'T INVOLVE ANYBODY ELSE.

ALL RIGHT, WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME HOW YOU DID IT.

HOW'D YOU KILL 'EM?

LOOK, JACK, OBVIOUSLY I COULD CALL A LAWYER--

OH, CALL A LAWYER. BETTER BE A GOOD ONE.

YOU'RE LOOKING AT FIRST DEGREE MURDER.

THESE PEOPLE WERE TERMINALLY ILL.

YEAH. TERMINALLY ILL?

WHAT'S THAT MEAN? 3 YEARS? 2 YEARS?

A MONTH? A WEEK? A MINUTE? 30 SECONDS?

EVERY CASE WAS DIFFERENT,

BUT THE PROGNOSIS WAS ALWAYS THE SAME.

THESE PEOPLE WERE DYING, JACK.

HOW DID YOU KILL 'EM?

HOW DID YOU GO ABOUT IT?

TELL ME ABOUT ABBY SULLIVAN.

HOW'D YOU DO HER?

I CAME INTO HER ROOM,

AND I HELD HER HAND FOR A WHILE,

AND WE TALKED.

YOU TALKED TO HER?

OH.

SO YOU CONVERSED?

SHE WAS LUCID? SHE WASN'T COMATOSE?

A HUNDRED YEARS AGO, JACK,

ABBY SULLIVAN WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD

LONG BEFORE SHE EVER GOT INTO THE STATE SHE WAS IN.

BUT NOT ANYMORE.

NOW WE PUMP THEM UP WITH BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS, DON'T WE?

AND WE RENDER THEM SENSELESS WITH PHARMACEUTICALS.

AND WE HOOK THEM UP TO MACHINES

THAT KEEP THEIR BODY FUNCTIONING

WAY LONG AFTER THEIR SPIRIT HAS DIED.

ABBY SULLIVAN IS TALKING TO YOU,

AND HER SPIRIT HAS DIED.

YOU'VE DECIDED THAT?

DO YOU BELIEVE THAT ALL LIVING THINGS

ARE GOD'S CREATURES AND POSSESS HIS SPIRIT?

YES, I DO.

THEN WHY DO WE PUT DOWN THE FAMILY DOG

WHEN HE CAN'T FUNCTION ANY LONGER?

WHY DO WE EUTHANIZE THE RACEHORSE WHEN HE BREAKS HIS LEG?

YOU KNOW, JACK.

IT'S CALLED MERCY.

IT'S CALLED MERCY, JACK,

AND I BELIEVE

WITH ALL MY HEART

THAT I DID THE RIGHT THING.

AND I BELIEVE IN THE SANCTITY OF HUMAN LIFE,

IN THE POWER OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT...

IN GOD'S DIVINE PLAN.

AND IN THAT PLAN, THERE IS THE CHANCE OF A MIRACLE.

I DON'T BELIEVE

ANY HUMAN BEING HAS A RIGHT TO KILL...

AND THAT'S WHY I BELIEVE YOU ARE A MURDERER.

AND I WILL DO EVERYTHING IN MY POWER

TO MAKE SURE YOU SPEND THE REST OF YOUR LIFE

IN PRISON.

NANCY?

MOM, I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD REMODEL MY OLD BEDROOM.

I'VE BEEN THINKING...

MAYBE I SHOULD MOVE BACK HOME FOR A WHILE.

OHHH.

SWEETIE.

COME IN. COME IN.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN SITTING THERE?

NOT LONG.

IS EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?

EVERYTHING'S PERFECT, DAD.

YATES!
