Well, what's it gonna be?

Bite at the counter or a full sit-down meal, huh?

Sit down. We better grab it while we can.

All right.

Have fun.

Look at here.

Come on, Bella. Come on.

It's got to be 100 plus in there.

Yeah, I'll go get some water. All right.

Does anybody know where the driver of this car is?

Is this your car?

Yes, what's the problem?

You locked your dog in with the windows rolled up. Oh, he's just gone a minute

to get a bicycle.

Yeah, well, in that time, he would have died of heat exhaustion.

If it's 80 degrees outside and the windows are rolled up, they can top 110

minutes. Oh, Maurice, I'm so sorry, my darling.

I think we rescued your dog just in time.

Maurice,

did you hear what they called you?

Hey, partner, I think we rescued a rapid.

And chocolate's his favorite flavor.

I didn't know it could get so hot in here.

Well, people can take it. Animals can't. Yeah, look, when you roll up your

windows and lock your car so your pet won't get stolen, there's a good chance

when you come back, he's gonna be dead.

It happens thousands of times every year.

Thank you. This could have turned out to be a really bad day.

Do us a favor, please.

Pass the word.

So much for our sit-down lunch.

Any units in the vicinity of White Oak and Saticoit? Citizens report an 1183

with officer involved.

Units responding, identified.

Mary 3 and 4 responding.

15 Mary 4, officer down. Sattercore east of White Oak. Request ambulance.

Get back up. Back up, will you?

Okay, let's get him on the table.

On three.

One, two, three.

Now get that bandage off as soon as you can, okay?

How's his pressure?

110 over 80.

Is he holding okay now?

I can't see the retina. This eye is hemorrhaging. You better find Patterson

and get in there right away, please. Right.

How

is

he? We don't know yet.

I'll go pick up Betty.

Excuse me, is that man in there a prisoner?

No, he's our sergeant. Well, then the waiting area is over here.

We were just concerned... I understand that. The waiting area is over here.

I'll let you know. Excuse me.

Dr. Patterson, I'm glad you're here. We have a male, late 30s, involved in a

motor vehicle accident.

He sustained a penetrating trauma to the right eye.

His pressure is 110 over 80 and stable, pulse 90 and regular, respiration about

18.

He's unresponsive to verbal stimuli.

I was concerned about the possibility of infection, so I ordered adenomycin and

methicillin IV. Where's the skull series and CAT scan?

There really hasn't been time to do much more. How much time would it take for a

fracture in the optic canal to permanently damage the optic nerve?

I hadn't thought of that.

Well, while you're thinking about it, doctor, I'm going to see what I can do

to save this man's sight.

I heard there was a motor officer brought in.

Yeah, Sergeant Guthrie.

That?

That's what we're waiting to find out.

Doctor, how's he doing?

Virginia's fine. If you'll excuse us, we're on our way up to surgery.

Hey, look, Doctor, while you're waiting for the elevator, you think you could be

civil for about 30 seconds? I mean, we're worried about our friend.

Your friend has suffered a severe laceration to his right eye. Now, if I

can get him up to surgery, I can try and save him.

Doctor, I understand.

I just don't have the time. I'm sorry.

He has the worst bedside manners I've ever seen. But if I needed an eye

surgeon, he's the one I'd call.

You're right on the first count. I hope you're right on the second. Oh, I am.

Believe me, all the residents hate his guts, but they want to be as good.

Yeah, well, he's pretty high on himself.

Just your ordinary, everyday perfectionist.

He's in room 305 all by himself.

Hey, don't worry about a thing.

I don't care what the doctors say. He's terminal.

I'll see to it.

All right, let's go.

Pick up.

Are you with me?

I'm dealing with an ocular vein, not a fibrosis.

Sorry, doctor.

I'm sure the patient would appreciate that. The next time I scrub, you don't.

You can cry on each other's shoulders later. I will have full attention right

now. You concentrate, I concentrate.

That way we make no mistakes.

Yeah, I love it.

Where is he? I want to see him.

He's in surgery.

Give it to me straight, John.

What happened?

He took a piece of metal in the face when he went down.

His face?

Yeah, but he's going to be all right.

There's some question about one of his eyes.

John.

He's in recovery now.

The operation went well.

I'm happy you feel qualified to pass judgment on my work.

Excuse me.

Mrs. Gutierrez?

Yes.

Is he going to be okay?

He's going to be just fine.

Oh, thank God.

I repaired the torn muscle.

Just how much control he's going to have over the eye is hard to tell at this

point. He can't see with the eye now, but it should be functional in a day or

two.

We can't make a final determination until we take the bandages off.

Thank you, Doctor.

When can I see him?

When he's out of recovery in his own room. That would be 3.05.

I wish I could tell you more, but there's nothing more to say.

So if you'll excuse me.

Come on, Betty. Sit down.

Joe, is there very much pain?

Only when I wink at the nurses.

Ha, ha.

Hi.

I'm Lindova.

How do you do? Betty Gutierre.

Listen, don't worry.

They'll take good care of your husband in here.

Matter of fact, I think they take too good a care of you in here.

I came in here for a simple hernia operation.

Had a few irregular heartbeats on the operating table.

And they brought me up here and strapped me to all this equipment.

Hey, who'd you come to see, huh? Me or him?

It is such a relief to hear you sound like yourself.

Uh-huh.

Hey, either one of you play cards?

No, not really. Not much.

Guess it's solitaire again.

I know how hard it is to pass the time.

Oh, yeah.

Hey, I'm sorry. Let me butt out for a while.

Joe?

Don't worry.

I'll look after him.

Can I get you anything?

Could you get me out of here?

Goodbye, Mr. Topper.

Hey, Grossy.

Have you seen Ponch around anywhere?

Ah, he just missed me. Left a minute ago.

Mad as a hornet. Well, what's up?

Ah, it's me.

Oh, thanks a lot.

Hey, Lieutenant.

Excuse me. They say Ponch is all hacked off and left. What's going on?

Go on inside.

You remember that case that Contrera and Poncherello broke a few months back? The

car rental scam?

Oh, yeah. It kind of rings a bell, but I think I had the flu there.

Well, the hearing happens tomorrow, do or die.

Now, if Poncherello doesn't show up and well prepared to boot, the judge is

going to cut that guy loose.

All that hard work down the drain.

You know it.

Joe was up for that case.

He had a stack of notes a foot thick, which I send home with your partner for

overnight digestion.

Oh, I bet he loved that.

Well, love isn't quite the word.

Hello, Shane speaking.

What makes you think he'll get me to be awake?

I want you to get us away from this. He'll be awake.

Hold it.

Sorry, it's after hours.

Look, we just want to take this bag up to a friend in room 305.

His recovery depends on it.

Not after hours, it doesn't. Hey, now, come on. You wouldn't deny a guy a

razor, toothbrush, and aftershave, would you? Oh, and a TV guy.

It's not working. What's going into the phone?

Three amps, five power, two amps, epinephrine, three attempts at counter

-shock. He's trying to amp with calcium.

What's going on?

A heart attack.

Skin clear.

Rhythm, but no pulse.

How are you feeling?

Like it never happened.

We've got electromechanical dissociation.

Hotline, give me some heavy equipment, please.

That's injected. No good. We're losing him.

More calcium?

No response.

Sepsipure.

Thank you.

Just talking to him.

Sorry.

I guess you never know.

Hey, uh, what's in the bag?

I don't know.

Oh, uh, corned beef on rye.

Thanks, but, um, I'll save it till later.

That's right.

We got it made.

I would say it was a good night's work.

The chalking up is another heart attack.

Nobody's going to give it a second thought.

Then our business is concluded.

Well, not quite.

There was another patient in the room.

They must have moved him in there before I got to Dover.

I think he saw me.

Well, then.

You'll just have to make sure that he does not identify you, won't you?

Whatever you say, Mr. Cassidy.

I would like to get up on Sunday morning and read about Dover's roommate in the

Times. Under death notices.

I got just the prescription.

Then deliver it.

Yes, sir.

There he is.

Hey, Sarge.

How you doing?

You're looking all right.

You're looking good. This is the life, Sarge. In bed all day, people around to

serve you every need. Who could ask for anything more? You want to trade places?

Um, yeah, I thought not.

Hey, is there anybody watching the streets this morning?

Oh, we're on our way.

More or less.

Yeah, I can't stay long.

Yeah, right you are.

Well, if it's any consolation, you sound like your old self.

Oh! The damage to your motor is minimal.

I have her ready for you in a couple of days.

Thanks, Harlan.

It's the best news I've heard all morning.

Hey, how's the food in this place?

You see this, too?

You see that bottle up there?

That, my friend, is my food. You want some?

I think I'll pass.

Good morning.

Good morning.

You have chocolate flavor this morning?

Ran out yesterday.

Well, how do you expect your customers to keep coming back?

Well,

as you can see, I'm in good hands, and I do appreciate you guys coming by, but,

um... Well, how should I say this?

Um, get the bricks.

Get out among them. Chew some pavements. Well said.

Hey, Sarge, if the boredom starts killing you, you can always watch the

soaps, huh?

Now, get out of here.

Ponch, I know it's a bum deal, but... Look, Ponch, I'll tell him what a great

job you're doing, okay? And... I know, Ponch... Hey, Ponch, what... Ponch!

Look, would you talk to him? Yeah.

Hey, Ponch.

Hi,

I was just looking for someone to have some coffee with.

You just found him. I'll see you in a second. Okay.

Hey, Joe?

Kelly, quick!

The nurse at the station, Sean.

Page of residence room 305, stat.

Dr. Rhodes, room 305, stat.

Dr. Rhodes, room 305, stat.

What's the matter, Kelly?

His heart's fainting irregular.

His blood pressure's only 50 systolic.

He stopped breathing. Get the crash cart, stat.

Stand back, gentlemen.

Code blue room 305.

Code blue room 305.

Code blue room 305.

One,

two, and three, and four.

I'm gonna move this bed.

Grab that weight, please.

Four.

Call CPR.

Roll him.

We need a monitor in here.

As soon as you get those on there, I need the intubation set ready.

We have coarse V-fib. Let's get an ample epiabrine right away.

Epiabrine.

Dr. Arnold, increase the ventilatory rate.

The lab says the blood pH is 7.2.

Get another amp of EpiReady.

What's the bagging?

Stop CPR, please.

No!

We now have fine V-fib. Let's hit him with the paddle. Set it for 280 and give

him to me.

Heads on fire.

Or will you give me a push of 100 milligrams of lidocaine, hang a 2

milligram per minute drip, and draw another blood gas stack?

Cattles?

Stand clear.

Again.

Center at 360.

Read it.

Stand clear.

Tell me again. I can't hear you.

I don't like this.

The doctor, the potassium level is 6.8.

Are they sure?

They double-checked it.

Well, no wonder we're losing them. Give me an amp of D-50 and 10 units of

regular insulin stat.

I need a Bertilium Drivener. Will you get it, please? D-50.

Potassium doing 6.8.

pH is now 7.3.

All right, let's try the pedals one more time at 360.

We all know how we feel about Joe Gutierre, but I'm sure that he'd want me

to tell you to keep to your beats.

Just remember that you're still on duty and to restrict your visitation to break

time. Understood?

And as for you, Poncharella, your court hearing is on recess, not adjournment.

You're due back there in 35 minutes, so don't try to swing by the hospital.

Don't even say it.

34 minutes and counting.

You better get a move on.

Joe having a heart attack just doesn't make sense.

Well, how about two heart attacks in the same room within 12 hours?

One could say that room 305 is an unlucky room.

Yeah. Well, no matter how you add it up, it just doesn't compute.

Well, when we get the lab report on the glucose bottle, maybe we'll have some

answers.

I'd feel a lot better if someone would keep an eye on him.

No pun intended.

Turner and Bonnie are off today. I'll give them a ring.

It's not quite there yet, is it?

Is this the way it's going to be? Is this all I get?

Until the healing process is complete.

And then?

Then, more than likely, your vision will return to normal.

Oh, that's what I was waiting to hear. Thank you.

A nurse will come in to re-wrap this.

I have some students who want to observe a corneal transplant. I'll get back to

you. Try and get some sleep.

I'll do that.

Hey, John.

Sarge, how you feeling?

Well, I just got the word.

Things are still a little blurry, but Dr.

Patterson and I think we're gonna be okay.

Good, good. What about last night? Did he say anything?

Uh, no, not really.

Hey, tell me, how's Poncherello handling my day in court?

Oh, he's holding up fine. As a matter of fact, he wanted you to know that he

wished you were there.

Hey, good afternoon.

Hi, Dr. Ross. Hi, Doctor.

Oh,

you're looking pretty good.

Well, uh... If our guy just went through cardiac arrest, I think I'd look fine.

Do you have any answers?

Well, we found a considerable quantity of potassium in his glucose IV.

Did that cause a heart attack?

That's right.

Well, how did it get in there?

To tell you the truth, we have no idea.

We're checking the other bottles, and we've notified the manufacturer.

And?

And that's where we stand right now.

May I?

You're my guest. Everybody else has.

I'll see you later, Ethan.

You look a lot better than when I saw you in emergency.

Good.

Tell me when you can focus on the print.

I'll stop right there.

The potassium level and the glucose does it for me.

Why would anybody want him dead?

I don't know, but I'm going to check out the life of the late Lynn Dover.

I'm sorry, sir, but all information concerning Mr. Dover is unavailable.

But this is official business.

I understand that, sir, but I'm only following instructions.

The records can only be released through a subpoena or by written order of Deputy

District Attorney William Crocker.

Thanks a lot.

Len Dover was a high-powered accountant, and he was going to testify before a

grand jury against a man named Arnold Cassidy.

What was the charge?

All the usual. Dover was juggling the books for Cassidy.

We had him cold.

When I threw him a chance for immunity, he discovered that he had a talent for

singing. What is Cassidy into?

Everything. Interstate trucking, building supplies, you name it. So

Cassidy eliminates your witness.

And maybe, maybe Sergeant Gutierrez saw something that he shouldn't have.

And the killer came back to finish the job.

You may be right.

Can you provide security for room 305?

I'll get right on it. Thank you.

Well, the first night's all a blur, John. They had me really sedated.

I mean, there must be something you remember. Anything?

Well, I do remember being here in bed, waking up, drifting back to sleep. Betty

stopped by.

What about Dover?

I really like to talk.

Um, I woke up for a bit.

I don't know what time it was. I know it was late.

His nurse was checking his IV.

Routine stuff.

What'd she look like? Oh, it wasn't a she. It was a male nurse.

Okay, I'll catch you later, Sarge. I'm gonna run down Kelly.

Thanks for stopping by.

May I see some ID, please?

Hey, if you don't mind, you're blowing my cover. Don't you think this would be

a lot simpler with straight legs and a gun?

This way I get to see and not be seen.

Look, the DA's office is taking over, so you have some company real soon, all

right?

Make it quick.

Okay, I need the name of the male nurse who was on duty the night that Lindover

died. You sound chauvinistic, John, but we don't have one in the place.

Oh.

All right, then I need a list of the male orderlies that might have been on

duty. I'll dig it up for you. Right now, I have a date with a gallbladder.

Okay.

Mr.

Gutierrez, hematoma is clearing. You're right. Thank you.

But there may be signs of early retinal detachment.

Oh, really?

How many detached retinas have you seen, doctor?

I don't know. A couple dozen or so. A couple of dozen. I've repaired over a

hundred detached retinas in the last four months, doctor.

Now, when you've done that, maybe you can critique my diagnosis.

Certainly, Doctor. I don't want you to... Do we understand each other? If

that man's macula is destroyed, it'll be because you didn't want to take a second

look. I understand. Anything else, Doctor?

No, that's all. Thank you.

Excuse me, Doctor.

I'm sorry. I couldn't help him overhearing.

Must have sounded like I was being very hard on him.

I tell you something.

I do these residents a favor by being tough with them.

When they're out on their own, they're gonna be glad somebody gave them a taste

of what it's like.

I'm sure, but what was he saying about the macula? The macula.

The macula is like a... the emulsion layer on a piece of photographic film.

Once it's gone, the film is useless.

So if the macula goes, you'll never be able to use the eye again.

I checked Mr.

Gutierrez's eye this morning. The retina's fine.

Not according to Dr.

Rhodes' opinion.

That is the opinion of a very brash, over-eager young resident.

Look, Doctor, let's just say that there may have been a chance that you could

have missed something.

Don't you think it's worth a second look?

Officer. Doctor, why don't you allow yourself to be a little bit human? Come

down here with the rest of us. I mean, it's all right for you to make a

mistake. It's all right for you to change your mind.

Do you think that being right is more important to me than your friend's

eyesight?

No way.

You're the one that has to maintain the standards, and that's a lonely job.

I am, uh, not the tyrant that, uh...

All right, officer.

We'll take another look.

Thank you.

It's about 8 o'clock.

Look, will somebody let me in on it?

Just one minute, Mr. Gutierrez.

Doctor?

What?

Oh.

Well, that's great. That's just great.

Schedule an operating room as soon as possible.

All right.

Cassidy. It's me.

We agreed you were not going to call here anymore.

I couldn't help it. The guy... The guy survived.

He didn't die.

Then you've still got a problem.

Not just me.

Us. If I take the fall, you will too.

I see.

Well, how can I help?

Money? That's all well and good.

But it seems to me if that man is still alive... I'll take care of that. I just

got a flash that he's going back into surgery this afternoon.

I don't think he's going to make it.

Yeah, Ponch, Guitrera's due for surgery in a half hour.

Mm-hmm. Just about have it wrapped up down there?

Oh, good, good.

Listen, Kelly gave me a list of male orderlies.

Didn't you and Guitrera bust a guy by the name of Carl Wilson?

That's what I thought. Okay, I'm gonna track him down. Get over here as fast as

you can.

Hey, Wilson.

Long time no see.

Yeah.

Ain't it a shame?

What'd you get, three to five?

I only served 20 months.

Good behavior.

No Gutierrez in the hospital?

No kidding.

Sure hope it ain't serious.

You have access to drugs here?

They don't let ex-cons near that stuff.

What happened to your regular nameplate?

I don't know.

Must have fallen off or something.

But what's going on?

Somebody trying to finger me for something?

Just stick around, okay?

I'm here every day.

See you later.

It's a date.

Ready to go, Wayne.

Dr. Rowe.

Glad to have you with us.

It's a privilege to be here, Doctor.

All right.

Let's go.

Pick up.

Dr. Foster, room 327.

I hate hospitals.

Problem with oxygen, Wayne.

Going to backup.

We've got a double failure here.

Going to Amber Bag.

Better get a portable oxygen unit in your stat.

Give me a portable oxygen unit, stat.

There's trouble with the main oxygen.

Hey, hold it.

Get up! Now!

Not before you check that oxygen.

Check it.

Get me another unit.

um

Glad to see you didn't kill yourself, pal.

I hate you to get off that easy.

Here you go, Sarge.

A little something just for you, just to be on the safe side.

Oh, well, that sounds ominous.
