- You need an inflata-date?

- No, man.

Hey, I'm here on a business deal.

Do I look like I belong in a place like this?

I mean look around, can't you see I don't belong here?

- I can't see shit.

- Oh.

Hey, I'm sorry.

- Hey, I love you, brother, no sweat.

Has she got big ones or little ones?

- Big.

Very big.

Only, she's not a she.

- Jeez.

I need scratch and sniff on these things.

- Keep scratching and sniffing.

- Doing a little business with the loan shark?

- Don't, don't...

Hey, blindy, I'm a legitimate businessman.

I'm here to do business with Mr. Palazzi,

real estate, if he'll finance my deal.

- Laughed in your face at the bank?

- Yeah, there was some laughter, but that didn't bother me.

The spitting bothered me.

I'll tell you one thing, at the bank,

they didn't have dildos laying around the desk.

- Lennihan! - Yo!

- The man will see you, now.

- Yeah, that's me.

- I'm on, bye. - Hey, man, look cool.

Take some shades.

- I don't want no shades.

- Just take the smokes.

- I don't want no smokes.

I'll keep the cigarettes if that'll keep you off my ass.

Now I wanna ask you a question.

How do I look?

- Buddy, how the fuck should I know?

- The best part of this whole bargain is

for $50,000 down payment, Mr. Palazzi,

I get the whole building, and I open my cineplex.

- 32 theaters, huh?

- 18 seats in each theater,

but that's not the good part, Mr. Palazzi.

Check this, dun-dun.

Look, dolby sound.

- I don't know anything about that.

- Hey, it doesn't matter anyway.

- I'll tell you what does matter.

If you manage to get this cineplex off the ground,

not that I give a shit,

I will own 75% of all the concessions

and 100% of all the vending machines.

Now, the interest on 50,000 is 100,000.

If you don't pay me 150,000 within one year,

we're going to collect your collateral.

- That's why I come to you, Mr. Palazzi.

I'm not stupid, I didn't go to ef hutton.

I don't have any collateral.

- You're standing on your collateral.

- My legs?

- John has something for you.

-John?

- Now, there's a little favor we want from you.

Our business has been experiencing some,

uh, setbacks recently.

Consequently, there's a lot of heat on us,

and our people are being watched closely.

So we'd appreciate it

if you would just take this package

to California for us.

Something for the little lady?

- Lennihan, I got some advice for you, hmm?

Don't be a jerk-off.

- Well, I am a jerk-off.

I mean, I'm certainly not a bag man.

Do I look like a bag man?

The best in the country.

I will deliver these diamonds for you.

- You got no problem with that?

- No, I got no problem.

I'm just a little tense.

I recently quit smoking.

I'm gonna start again because it helps relieve the tension.

And to tell you the truth, I'm so tense right now

you could open a beer bottle cap from my asshole.

I mean, I am tense, I'm talking tense.

What the hell's that?

- He's got a fucking wire.

- Wire?

- Police! - Drop 'em!

Nobody move!

- Freeze! - Don't try it.

Drop 'em!

Jeez.

All right, hold it!

- Don't move! - Don't move!

- You're a cop!

You're not even a blind cop!

Hey, what are you-

- you set me up, lennihan.

- No, I didn't, I thought he was a blind pervert!

I didn't know he was a cop.

- You're fucking dead, you're dead, lennihan!

You hear me?

- What do you mean I'm dead?

No, pal, you're the one that's dead!

'Cause they got you,

they caught you with a bag full of diamonds and money!

They caught you red-handed.

Holy shit.

Can we talk?

Kevin?

- You talked to the judge, right?

You explained everything's a big misunderstanding.

I'm gonna take you and Julie out to the greatest dinner-

- Kevin, I tried everything.

I didn't make a plea, I begged for mercy.

But you're gonna have to do a year.

- All right, let's go.

- A year?

But this is my first offense.

Couldn't you get me probation or something?

Look, I'll do social work.

Hey, how about this?

I'll cook for runaway teenage girls.

- Kevin, I never said a word

about any of your harebrained schemes before,

not even when you talked me into putting up that five grand

for your offshore shopping mall.

- Hey, I thought that was foolproof.

- No.

- Listen to me, Alex, I had to do it.

I needed the money for a down payment

on my cineplex or I was gonna lose everything.

- So you had to hook up with these guys?

The feds have been looking for this palazzi for years.

- Then I should get some kind of reward

because it was my stupidity that helped got him busted.

- You're sick, Kevin, you're really sick.

- Hey, lennihan.

Wait a minute, Harris.

10 years, no parole, because of you.

Oh, I'll be in the machine shop with my associates

waiting for you.

You're dead, lennihan.

See you in the shower.

- Watch the shoulder. - Let's go.

Move it, move it.

- Mr. Lennihan, please rise.

The reason I'm asking you these questions

is to make sure your plea is voluntary

and you understand the consequences of your guilty plea.

Now are you currently taking any medication or drugs

that might impair your judgment

in entering this guilty plea,

or are you suffering from any mental illnesses?

- That's it.

- What? - Plead insanity.

- You're not crazy, Kevin,

you're just pathologically irresponsible.

- You know that, and I know that.

- Mr. Lennihan, did you understand the question?

- Mr. Lennihan, did you understand the question,

you piece of pig fuck?

Damn you, did you understand the question?

- Kevin!

- Answer the question!

Get a look at this man, he stole my money!

Yes, he wanted us to invest in supermarkets offshore!

Then we did, they sank.

You think you're slick

trying to talk to a judge like that, come here.

- Sorry, your honor, he's been under a lot of stress.

- Under a lot of stress?

You'd be under stress too.

You're cheating with my wife, you're humping her in my car!

And you, you slut.

Look at you sitting there with a mask over your face.

You can't mask this.

How can you do that, you got brown babies at home.

I'm looking for justice.

- Bailiff. - I'm looking for justice.

We all know there's justice and there's injustice!

- Bailiff! - And I'm part of the justice!

Because I'm not just, I'm just just.

- Bailiff. - No!

- Get away!

Everybody get away from him!

- Order!

- That's not bad.

Your honor, my client seems to have had

some sort of breakdown.

- This is absolutely ludicrous.

- The court must show compassion in this case.

- All right, Mr. Kline, I'll remand your client over

to psychiatric observation for 21 days.

But if in that time

his insanity is not established conclusively,

he'll start serving his sentence immediately.

- Now what do you see there?

- Uh, my first grade teacher after I cut her throat.

Uh, she was a bitch.

That's me drinking her blood.

You know, I put my hand in it, made a print on the wall.

Thank you.

I didn't think I'd ever see her again.

- Mr. Lennihan, do you want me to call

the security guard again?

- Oh, no, please, not yet.

Mr. Lennihan.

- Hmm?

- Mr. Lennihan! - Hmm?

Uh, please, can I keep this card?

No, I don't think so.

- Ooh, just a minute, just a minute.

Ooh!

- Thank you, Mr. Lennihan.

- Hey, I'm crazy, right?

- Hey, come on. - Crazy!

- Sit down, it's hospital rules, come on.

- Yes, I know. - So?

- So, I think she's gonna send me to prison.

I did everything we talked about in there, man,

I don't think she bought it.

- Con yo, man, I thought we had her this time.

This lady is tough.

She's seen a lot of scams, you know,

so we have to invent a new approach to insanity.

- What are you talkin' about invent a new approach?

Man, I was in there trying to wank off.

I believe she was wanking off, too.

Police chopper 43 to empire general hospital.

Hey, Jimmy, are you sure it's safe to land on the island?

Yes, but head back to the mainland asap,

storm's building real fast.

The big story of the hour is hurricane Sam,

a late season storm roaring up the coast,

and headed straight for the big apple.

City offices have closed

and traffic advisories are in effect on all highways.

- Watch your leg.

Hey, Maggie.

- What have we got here?

- Stucky, Joe.

Murder.

Drugs.

He's a real animal.

Kicked the shit out of him in his cell.

- Right.

Put him in the radio room, we got a line waiting at X-ray.

- Gotcha, come on.

J“ home, home on the range j“

Louis, you're wasting your money betting on horses, man.

The real bread is in the stock market,

with the possible exception

of monty's dream in the fifth.

Jesus, I'm home!

- Hi, lennihan.

- Hey, got you something.

- Oh, thanks.

Wow, who is she?

- Hey, this way.

- What'd the shrink say?

- The shrink said strike three, man.

- Oh shit, man, they ain't gonna let you stay,

they won't let me go.

- Box, don't worry about it,

they're gonna let you outta here sooner or later.

I mean, you still think you're a black man, right?

- I said, get down, blood.

- Yeah, get down, blood.

No problem, you're gonna be fine,

you'll be home with this guy.

You're fucking crazy, man.

Bouncy, bouncy, boing!

- Stroke, stroke, stroke, stroke!

- Come on!

Watch that wave!

Fuckin' wild in here, what is going on?

- Hey, the question is, man, do you wanna live

or do you wanna die?

If they let you out today, what you gonna do?

Shake hands with sal palazzi?

Remember.

- I don't have to remember if I wanna live or wanna die,

you think I'm fuckin' crazy?

Good cookies, right?

Hey, you know, a little wallpaper,

fix this place right up,

some curtains, this'll be just like home.

- Hi, Maggie.

- Oh, Rachel, chambers is looking for you.

- Yikes, traffic was impossible.

- Is he on the rag? - Do you have a pen?

- He's hassling me about everything except q-tips.

- That's because he's having last minute palpitations

about finally putting me in charge.

- Yeah, well it's not gonna be easy tonight.

- Well a hurricane won't spoil my debut.

- Miss atwood. - Yes.

- You're late, come on, we've got a lot to go over.

- Oh, Mr. Chambers, I wondered if you'd consider

letting Julie and Karen stay on here for the night?

- Overtime?

- Well this is not gonna be your average night.

- Every night is average, that's what average means.

Why don't I hear any requests when it's slow

to send people home without pay?

- When is it slow?

- Box, the dog is on my bed.

He's got, look, the pillow, that's my pillow.

- He's just guarding it.

- He's not guarding the damn pillow.

- He's marking his territory.

- Markin' my, I'm gonna Mark his territory.

Get your ass off my bed, fido!

- Fido don't bite.

Here!

He ain't no bad dog, really.

- Shit, he tried to eat me up!

- Out to lunch, man.

Out there.

- Staffing chart looks fine, but who's this Dr. Slattery?

- He's running the emergency room tonight.

Very experienced.

Worked for me at woodhurst general.

This is gonna be a tough weekend, let's see how you do.

- Okay.

- Now...

- Don't you think that Maggie had a good point

about those two extra nurses?

- Well, a good administrator doesn't take the point of view

of their staff.

You know that, don't you?

- Well, yes, of course.

- Yeah.

- Haven't had much luck with these new walkie-talkies.

Maybe we should just send them back.

- To pic 'n save? - Mr. Chambers?

- Mr. Chambers? - Yes.

Trouble in psychiatric.

Lennihan's got them climbing all over the walls again.

- Lennihan, I'll be right up.

Well, do you want me to go, I'll take care of it.

- Relax, I'll deal with this on my way out.

And I'll see you Monday morning.

You have a nice weekend.

- Dr. Slattery was gonna stop by to say hello

before he got started, he must've got caught in traffic.

Oh, Rachel,

run this hospital.

- All right, break it up in here, calm down!

- It's some territorial dispute.

See, the big dog took the little dog's toy.

- Lennihan, is that the best you can do?

After reading what you pulled on that judge,

I was hoping for something more entertaining.

Dr. Hoffman already sent me her evaluation.

You're off to jail in the morning.

And don't try peeing on my leg, that won't change my mind.

Escort Mr. Lennihan to a locked private room for the night

so he doesn't disturb the real patients.

- Oh, shit.

- Leave him alone!

What's the matter with you, chambers, for Christ sake!

He'll die in prison, they're gonna kill him!

- Box, take it easy, man, just calm down.

- This is none of your business.

Get back to your bed.

- Why won't you make me?

You're gonna make him go to prison.

- Just calm down, box.

- You're gonna make me go to bed?

Is that what you're gonna do?

You're gonna make me, motherfucker?

- Is that it, huh? - Just calm down.

- You ain't gonna make me do nothing!

You ain't going to make nobody do nothing, motherfucker,

'cause we're on strike!

Yeah!

We're on strike!

- Excuse me, excuse me!

I am truly touched by your concern for Mr. Lennihan,

but unless you return to your bunks immediately,

I'm shutting this ward down and having you all transferred

to a prison for the criminally insane.

- Not dannemora. - Exactly.

- Man, these fruits'll never make dannemora,

they'll eat 'em alive there!

- You heard what Mr. Box said,

so everyone who would like to stay right here

in this warm, safe hospital, kindly return to your bunks.

- No, nobody move! - Box, don't!

- Nobody has to go anywhere.

Not nobody.

- Box!

Don't, man, make it bad for yourself.

Look, it's gonna be all right.

I fucked up, I'm going to the penitentiary, it's okay, man.

- No, fuck that, you ain't going nowhere.

Nobody is going nowhere!

What are you trying to pull, chambers?

What happened to the lights?

- Man, you'll all die!

Get back in your beds!

- We got to stop this!

- No, man, come on, if you don't leave now

you're dead in the morning.

- Soup's on now, guys!

- Come on, guys! - Let's raid the pharmacy!

Yeah, they got nurses with big tits!

They're taking lennihan away!

- Can't let those guys loose in the hospital, man.

Lennihan!

- Parts of the city are blacked out,

but our grid is totally wiped out.

- Great, no power on the island.

Nowhere to go but up.

- Gimme a light there. - Whoa.

- There's the emergency generator right on schedule.

- Don't get carried away,

that generator only puts out half the power.

A lot of the hospital still has no juice.

Dr. Randy.

- Tommy pinto fell off the roof!

- What the hell was he doing up there in a hurricane?

- Chambers sent him up, that bastard!

- Where is chambers? - Gone for the weekend.

- That figures. - Miss atwood's in charge.

- What do you need? - What happened.

- I fell off the fucking roof.

- Can you move your legs? - Yeah.

- How about your neck? - Yeah.

- Okay, get him downstairs and get him a lateral c-spine.

- Hey, Jack, call my wife, will you?

- Where the hell's our er doctor?

I can't even misdiagnose this by myself.

- Hey, how do I get a hold of you next week, man,

I need some more picks at belmont.

- Hey, listen, you think I'm gonna stick around here

and give you a forwarding address?

Fuckin' crazy, I'm out of here.

- Okay, go over there to chambers' office

and pick up your files.

Go upstairs and make a right

and you'll see the office with a name on it.

- Make a right? - Yeah, here.

- Oh, Rachel, don't forget about the or.

- Oh, Christ, what about chambers' lab?

- Relax, it's got its own generator.

- Of course. - Chambers spared no expense.

That's why- - all right, all right.

Is there anything else you need down here?

- Yeah, bring back the two girls you sent home.

Oh, shit!

This guy's had surgery, get me some flashlights!

There's no oxygen pumping.

Where are the 02 tanks?

Maggie, I'm done stitching her up,

I need someone to help me dress her right away.

- Come on, just go over there!

Where's Doris?

Doris, where did she go?

Stucky!

- Why should the fuckin' emergency generator

work around here, nothing else does!

Stucky!

- Get maintenance on the phone.

- What phone, it just went dead.

It is no more.

- Oh god.

Stucky!

You clown!

I'm gonna twist your head off.

Dennis, what's the story with the generator?

Checking it out now, lady.

- Great, I haven't got Tommy's x-rays.

- Well do you know how long this is gonna take?

- Hey, get off my fuckin' case, lady!

When it's fixed you'll be the first to know, okay?

- All right, folks, the generator was working before,

so they'll get it working again.

And the er doctor's gonna be here soon

so the most important thing for us to do

is to get on with the work

and we'll deal with the emergencies as they arrive.

- Uh, Dr. Slattery?

- You got me!

- Edward slattery?

Edward slattery?

- Thank god I found you.

I'm Rachel atwood, Arthur's assistant.

I know the conditions are not what you expected

and I've really heard enough complaints

but I'm doing absolutely the best that I can.

Okay, well I'll gonna find the disaster manual

and see if I can get some information.

Excuse me.

Oh, great, this book isn't too old,

there's a whole chapter on leeches.

Well, I guess I'll have to use my best judgment.

- I guess so. - Oh, what's this?

Lennihan, Kevin.

Oh, chambers took care of that.

All right, so let's go, Dr. Slattery.

Where?

- To er, you've got a herd waiting for you down there.

- Er?

Go start without me, and I'll be right down.

- You don't understand,

I'm not an md, I'm an administrator.

Now wwe've got to go now, doctor.

- I've got to scrub up.

- Doctor slattery, are we ready?

- Would you call me Eddie, please?

And I'll call you Rachel.

Rachel, Eddie.

Eddie, Rachel?

- Okay.

- Did chambers mention

that might not be staying very long tonight

because I had other things I had to do,

I'm going to other hospitals.

And bring some plaster, we got a broken leg.

Pat, can you take care of it?

- There's Maggie, the charge nurse.

Just tell her you're here,

I'm gonna check in with maintenance.

- Oh, you gotta check the light packs, Paula,

because we don't even know

if they were recharged before the accident.

Would you put down that pillow, Tony,

and take this lantern over to the drug room,

they don't have any lights.

Take the pillow, you have two hands.

- Maggie, I'm done stitching her up,

I need somebody to help me dress her right away.

Gwen, go over to the trauma room

and help Dr. Joffe with the dressing.

- Don't talk back, just go. - Okay.

- Excuse me, I have an emergency.

Shit!

- Dr. Foster, what are you doing?

- Obviously we don't intend

to run an operating room by candlelight, do we?

Do we? No.

I've rescheduled all elective surgery

until the day after tomorrow, things should be fixed then.

You can deploy the or nurses and orderlies as you see fit.

Good night.

- Oh boy, that was a close one.

- Aren't you gonna help out down here?

- Miss atwood, you are standing on a malpractice time bomb.

I don't intend to be in the vicinity

when it explodes, do you?

What are you doin', doctor,

there's nothing's wrong with my head.

- Sir, you've never seen it from this angle.

I wanna go home.

- Officer, take care of this woman,

I gotta put the top up on my Mercedes.

- What am I supposed to do with all these people?

- For god sakes, don't admit 'em to our hospital.

Send them home.

- Hey, hey, you can't take that, that's my ambulance!

Man, what the?

- Yo, I'm out of here!

Uh-oh!

Shit!

Oh shit.

Oh!

Ah!

Shit!

No! No!

Oh!

Stop!

Stop!

The causeway's out!

- The causeway's out?

- Yeah! - Who are you?

- Dr. Slattery, who are you?

- Dr. Foster.

- Doctor, we got the same first name.

I want a ride back to the hospital.

- Of course.

- Hey, give me more slack out there!

- This is a great idea, Dr. Joffe.

- Oh, young Dr. J. Is just full of great ideas.

- How many headlights do you have?

- Uh, 20. - Good.

- What do you mean you left your stethoscope at home?

- Thank you for the ride.

- Hey, doc, where the hell is my ambulance?

- I got it washed. - Got it washed?

- Slattery, what happened?

- Dr. Slattery?

- Doctor, yeah, what's your problem?

- Eddie, what happened?

- The causeway collapsed.

- And the ambulance drowned.

- Who is this guy?

- I thought you were inside treating the patients?

- I was inside treating patients,

and then I saw the storm

and I knew the best thing to do

was get everybody off the island, you know, evacuate.

- Evacuate?

- Yeah, that was my diagnosis.

- Excuse me, sir, but shouldn't these guys

be the ones to drive the ambulances, sir.

- Yeah, they should, you're right.

Uh, what's your name?

- Dr. Joffe. - Barely doctor.

Just got out of med school three months ago.

- Three months, I got things on my ass,

I mean, hemorrhoids older than that.

And I'm soaking wet and you'd send people out

in weather like this without first ascertaining the risk?

Don't you realize, doctor,

that medicine is a hands on business,

and if you didn't want to get your hands dirty,

you should have went into law.

- You tell him, doc.

- Me, I wasn't saying...

- Dr. Slattery.

Dr. Slattery.

Dr. Slattery, er's this way.

Chambers is probably home now

with his feet up in front of the fire

nursing a double scotch.

- He loves them double scotches.

- I should go call him.

- No, don't do that.

- Oh, right, the phones are dead.

- Dr. Slattery, here's what we have for starters,

we have a roof worker that fell down in the storm,

he hasn't been x-rayed, he's in the trauma room.

We have a guy's been struck by lightning,

we have a regular who thinks that this is a clinic,

we have an auto accident with contusions.

We have a possible labor, not sure,

no husband, six kids, all here now.

We have a broken leg in the cast room

and when you're done with that we need a doctor

to deal with the detox ward

because the medicine men are screaming for their medicine.

- How am I gonna I pass myself off as a doctor?

I couldn't pass myself off as a lunatic.

- This is much easier

because none of these assholes know what they're doing.

- Well, what's a doctor do?

- Tell everybody they got the clap and give 'em a shot.

- Yeah, but somebody's gonna recognize I'm not Dr. Slattery.

- Nobody keeps track of these emergency doctors,

they're a bunch of moonlighters.

- Moonlighters?

- They blow in, they work a bunch of shifts,

they make their money and disappear.

You're perfect for the job, pal.

- So I'm a doctor. - You're a doctor.

- Only if chambers doesn't show up.

- Oh, I'll go to psych and check it out.

- I'm a doctor. - You're a doctor.

- I'm a doctor.

- Doctor, we need those dispositions.

- Ladies and gentlemen, can I have your attention, please?

You know what the problem

with the medical profession is today?

Too much buck-passing.

- No shit.

- You depend on me.

I'm moonlighting, I'm here, I do the business and I'm gone.

You gotta depend on yourselves, you got good minds.

Christ sake, you're brilliant.

Screen those patients for me.

Nurse, help him out, give me your recommendations.

And remember what hippocrates said.

Now go to work.

Well, go to work!

Let's go!

Work, work!

- One more time, chambers.

What did you do with the lights?

- You're always keeping us nuts in the dark.

- I don't know what's going on,

maybe the whole city's blacked out.

- Oh, yeah, right, sure.

Suffering delusions of grandeur.

- Give me the goddamn radio, and I'll find out.

What will you do with the radio, chambers,

call in the SWAT team?

- What are we gonna do, sit here like this all night?

- We'll sit here forever!

We'll sit here, just as long, as I have my hands

around your scrawny pecker neck!

Nobody is gonna send us to dannemora.

- Who said anything- - shut up, fuckhead!

Oh, Dr. Slattery.

Dr. Slattery, please!

- What seems to be the problem?

Have you tried a glass of prune juice?

- Of course.

The last time I went was a week,

and that wasn't such a good one neither.

- You know, warm bath does the trick for me.

You'll be fine.

- Doctor, she's already taking dulcolax suppositories,

and nothing's moving.

She's not going to be able to do it by herself.

Guess we'll have to do a manual disimpaction.

- Get the manual.

What's that for?

- Oy, not this again.

- What's the matter?

You got to be kidding.

Dr. Joffe!

- Huh?

- Dr. Joffe!

Dr. Joffe, get over here!

It's an emergency, take care of it.

Boy's gonna wish he went to law school.

I need some more penicillin.

- Okay, coming right up. - Okay.

- Okay, joffe, what is it?

- Well, there's no diagnosis yet,

she hasn't been examined, sir.

- You haven't examined this patient yet

and you have magic hands, Dr. Joffe?

These are magic hands,

what are you gonna do with these magic hands?

- I think I have to wash them, sir,

because they were just up Mrs. Nussbaum's magic butt.

- Oh, that's because I've given you all the glamorous jobs.

I want you to examine this patient for me

'cause I have lots to do.

Now examine this patient.

- Yes, sir.

- Joffe. - Sir?

- Get your ass out here.

- But, sir, I don't... now.

You disgust me, joffe.

I want you to go wash your magic hands.

Get your magic ass out of here, now under the curtain.

- Get out, quickly, now. - Sorry, sir.

Quick, quick.

- What a cute coat.

- Why, thank you very much.

What seems to be the trouble?

- Oh, well, it hurts all over.

- All over?

- Here, and here, and especially here.

- Doctor make it all better.

Steth, stetho, steth, cool off.

- What do you hear?

- Oh, I hear, uh, I hear a little tiny voice.

And it's saying, "Eddie, you're one lucky son of a bitch."

- You know, I just love a dedicated man in medicine.

They just give so much.

It makes me want to give them something back.

- Yes, dedicated, that's me, I'm a dedicated doctor.

I'm a real dedicated doctor, I'm a good doctor.

This is the best day of doctoring for me.

- I love caring men.

- Oh, I care, I do.

I got a friend, he's a cynic,

he said all there is to doctoring,

tell people they have the clap and you give 'em a shot.

Can you imagine that?

- You wouldn't have to tell me that.

- Oh, no?

- Because that's why I'm here.

- Yes.

- I already have the clap.

Dr. Joffe!

- What the hell are you doing, doc, building a wall?

- No, this is the latest in techniques.

When the cast is real big, the bone sets harder.

You're gonna like this, this is good.

I'd like you to do me a favor, however,

when you take this cast off, I'd like my ring back.

It's in here, see?

This is good.

This is gonna set good, I can hear it.

- Dr. Slattery, could I see you for a moment?

- Dr. Foster, would you take over for me?

There's an emergency!

- Try this for size.

- Excuse me, doctor. - Yes, this could be serious.

- Excuse me, doctor. - What, more questions?

Why don't you just go weigh everybody?

- What I wanna say is that you have the pressure-

- Backwards!

- Well, no wonder, it's an '82 model.

They should have recalled these.

Is there anything else I can do for you?

- Yes, doctor, that's the woman who's here for treatment,

she's her cousin.

- Well, could have something that runs in the family.

You never know.

Have them both x-rayed.

- But doctor, she says that's what's wrong with her

is that her husband left her, and it hurts all over.

X-rays won't show anything.

- You see? - Won't hurt.

Look, see?

Excuse me.

- What did he say?

- He said that my husband is no good anyway

and that he thinks that I have a nice, you know, ass,

and that maybe we'll go dancing tomorrow night.

- Mary.

- I thought we had emergency power.

Where the hell is it?

- They're restoring it right now.

- I've got four nurses for eight patients?

- How many more do you need?

- I'm trying to keep people alive by hand up here.

I could use at least three per bed.

- Oh, god.

All right, don't worry, I'll get you everybody I can spare.

- Dr. Slattery, we got a patient in there

with a dbt for a couple of weeks and then he threw a pe,

I'm afraid he could even have an m1.

- Hey, we both know how serious that can be.

- Well don't you think I need a second opinion?

- You want a second opinion?

The patients here haven't had a first opinion yet.

Dr. Joffe, is that why your parents worked so hard

to send you to medical school?

- My parents are wealthy.

- Would they be interested in a little cineplex?

Listen, $50,000 down... what?

- The point is that your opinion's as good as anyone else's.

Dr. Joffe, I'm counting on you today.

Don't let me down.

- Thank you, sir.

- You're great.

- What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Letting a first-year intern make that diagnosis alone?

That's an engraved invitation to litigation.

Precisely the issue of blowfield vs. St. Jude's,

a settlement of $3 million.

Dr. Slattery, what are you trying to pull around here?

- Doctors. - Who are you?

- What is the matter?

- This guy's gone crazy.

- Miss atwood, hey!

Miss atwood, your emergency generator,

you can forget about it.

You'd need a fuckin' miracle

to get juice in that by the morning.

- Morning?

You don't understand,

we have people being kept alive by hand up in icu,

that can't go on all night.

- Well what do you expect us to do about that tonight, boss?

We've been after chambers for months about it.

- I didn't hear anything-

- this place is a joke.

People will die here tonight.

- What does she care, right?

She only wants to know what it costs.

Hey, you goddamn people

have been running this hospital into the ground.

- Gentlemen, pointing the finger at Rachel,

that's gonna fix the generator?

We need people up in icu, right?

- Well, we can't spare anybody from here now.

- Well we'll get people somewhere else.

- That's easy to say.

- It's easy to do, too, follow me.

- Eddie, what are you doing?

- Just a minute, just a minute.

Rachel, I'm a master of persuasion.

Ladies and gentlemen, can I have your attention, please?

We need your help.

- What is he doing?

- I need a doctor, I been here five hours,

what in the hell's going on here?

- Louis!

This is our head orderly, this is Louis.

I want you all to get to know him.

And, uh, you remember when you were kids

and you had your temperature taken?

- What is he talking about?

Well, tonight's gonna be your turn,

a chance to help your fellow man.

- Listen to the doctor, please.

- This lunatic must've been sent here

by some ambulance-chasing law firm.

You can't have patients working in a hospital, can you?

No, you can't.

- Hey, look, I'm your doctor,

I'm gonna prescribe for you, exercise.

It's good for the cardiovascular system.

It'll help you.

You'll walk-

- listen to the doctor!

- If anything happened, we'd be criminally liable.

- For god's sakes, Dr. Foster,

I don't have any choice, do I?

- Well, this is anarchy. - Do I?

- Especially you, you need exercise most of all.

Come on, fatso, you're getting up.

- No.

- Come on.

- I'm no doctor.

- I know you're not, but you need exercise.

- Watch the kids.

' Come on up, come on up.

- Thank you.

Thanks, Eddie.

- It's my pleasure.

Get me out of here, man, I can't take this.

Let's go this way, please.

- Doctor, the icu is this way.

- Start now. - Follow me.

- Follow Louis.

- Dr. Slattery, where are you going?

- I'm going up to icu.

- No, you're supposed to be an emergency room doctor.

- Eddie, the orderly will take those people upstairs.

- Eddie?

- Slattery, Tommy pinto's feeling tingling in his legs,

it's coming up from his toes, I'm really worried.

What do you think it might be?

- I don't know, it could be possible spinal injury,

but who knows without a cat scan, we got to examine him.

- Wait a minute, what happened to the cat?

- Well sir, don't you remember, there's no power.

The lights are out, we can't do it-

- wait a minute, I know where some lights are.

- Where? - The helipad.

You're right, and they got their own generator.

- No wonder he gets the big bucks.

- That's fine, but who's gonna move it?

- How about the medicine men up in the detox?

They're just sitting around.

- Yeah, I'll go get on it right away.

- No no no, wait a minute,

you don't have to go, I'll take care of it.

- You can't take care of it, they won't listen to you.

- Thank you, doctor, but remember, administration's my job.

- Miss atwood. - She won't listen.

- That woman has no idea what she's doing.

Oh my god.

We're talking about a class action suit

against this hospital, and you, you're encouraging it.

What kind of gypsy doctor are you?

- Wait a minute, is that a formal accusation

or is that libelous hearsay?

- Because I'm an emergency room doctor,

I have a lawyer on call 24 hours a day

to take care of nitwits like you.

You'll be on your ass like white on rice, you understand?

- I wasn't suggesting anything.

- Yes you... no, I wasn't.

- All right, I accept your apology, this time.

- I'm sorry.

- Now I want you to get with joffe,

help him with Tommy pinto, and move your ass.

- Dr. Slattery!

- Yes, I'm going to the bathroom, I'm going to pee.

I don't need a second opinion for that too,

I know how to hold it and everything

do I need a second opinion for that?

- No.

He doesn't need a second opinion.

- Mr. Stucky. - Hey, Jackson,

you here for the cure?

- Huh, yeah.

They let you out of prison?

- Don't be an asshole, I scammed those suckers in the joint

with my leg is falling off bullshit.

How the fuck am I gonna get out of here?

- The road's washed up. - I don't know, man.

Excuse me, can I have your attention, please?

What do you want?

- You know the hospital.

- Man, I need my meth!

You know how it is.

- I'll get you all the drugs you want, man.

- You two over there, this involves you as well.

- Just get me off the island.

Let's go.

Now, now, come on!

Come on, hard-ass, let's go.

- So this is an out of the ordinary

and a highly unusual request,

but this is a highly unusual situation,

and we really do need the manpower.

- I thought this was supposed to be a drug program,

not a job program.

Ain't that right, fellas?

- So just give us our dope. - Dope.

J“ my girl likes to party all the time j“

- whoa, whoa, hey, take it easy

before you wear this fuckin' stick.

- Tell them again, they don't hear you.

You will wear the fuckin' stick, the man's serious,

you done woke him up from his nap.

- Oh, man. - Come on.

- I got a program, too, okay,

but I got good news for you guys and I got some bad news.

Well what's the good news?

- The good news is I got the methadone.

- Okay, okay, okay.

What is the bad news?

- Bad news is you're gonna have to work for it.

- That's terrible. - I can't work.

- Hey, look, Rachel asked for help

and you guys jaw-jacked her and just laughed, right?

Well, I'm not gonna take no jaw-jacking,

'cause I'm gonna split.

- Man, I didn't come here to work, doc,

I came here to relax.

I need you to work.

- I can't work.

- Praise the lord, he can't work!

Hey, man!

Hey, doc, I thought we were junkies, man, not flunkies.

- Well, you thought wrong.

You thought like lit,

thought you had to piss, but you had to shit.

Now, listen to me!

Do we have a deal?

- Say yes, come on. - Yeah, yeah.

- You guys have made an important career decision.

J' the junkies on the go j'

j“ hi-ho, for methadone, the junkies on the go j'

j“ hup two three four, boogie down j”

all right, you, keep your end up, man.

- Get out of my face, asshole!

- Wait a minute, we don't talk to our doctor like that.

No, no, no, no, no,

I'm the one that can give you shock treatment,

clean your brains out if you got any.

Now keep it up and see what happens.

Rachel - yeah?

If someone needed to get off the island real fast,

like, say for instance there was an emergency,

they were gonna get killed, I mean, they were sick, right.

Could they use that boat?

- Well yeah, I have the key,

but you can't do anything when it's like this.

- No, I know, like this, but when it's nice.

- Yeah, it's possible. - Good to know.

All right, men, let's go.

- Dannemora?

Who said anything about dannemora?

Where do I sign?

- And lights out at 10:00, cable TV, sports,

and dirty movies.

- And sodas whenever we want 'em.

- Nurses with bigger tits.

- A wonderful idea.

Well, that should be no problem.

Anything else?

No? Terrific.

Now, don't sign this, if you don't want to.

- Now, if I can just have that radio back.

- Where'd you put lennihan?

Me, you all saw what happened, he ran out of here.

- You sent him away to palazzi, or to medical experiments.

We're next!

We're next, we're next!

- Wait a minute!

Wait a minute!

I can see you guys are just too smart for me.

I'm gonna level with you.

Lennihan was an undercover inspector

for the board of health.

- The board of health.

Oh, you're just too good, chambers.

You really are.

- So what do we do now?

- What do we do?

We gag that maggot before I rip his lying lips off.

You could puke a buzzard off a gut wagon.

- Eddie, you're our hero.

- I am? - Yeah.

- Way to go, doc!

- Hey, that was great, Jack, thank you.

- My toaster's on the Fritz,

I'll bring it in tomorrow night, you can fix it.

- I'll fix your oven too.

Okay, but we're not out of the woods yet.

- Right about that.

- Oh, Dr. Slattery. - Yes?

- There's someone here who says he works for you.

You'd better go see him.

- I'd like to but I'm busy.

Just show me where the demerol is,

and I'll Ben Casey my own ass, nurse.

- Get me Dr. Joffe. - Right, good luck.

- You're supposed to be working.

- Hey, doc, doc, don't waste your time, man.

You know, help those people who can be saved, man.

Just throw me in bed and forget about me.

And, to make sure my last days are comfortable,

keep me highly medicated.

You know my condition.

- Yes, I do, you're suffering from a severe case

of full-of-shit-ness.

- I'm sorta confused, doc,

would you give me that in layman's terms?

- In layman's terms it means

I'm gonna check this whole thing out.

- Oh no no, I told you doc-

ow! Ow!

What the hell is that, man?

- I don't like the way that sounds.

- No shit.

Ow!

- I don't like that one either.

- That makes two of us.

- Did you just experience a sharp pain?

- No, I just experienced a blow job.

What the hell do you think, man?

- How's the patient, doctor?

- Can I vote?

You see, I'm feeling pretty groovy, actually.

See, it's just that I just can't do that kind of work

- because of my hernia. - Oh yeah.

Hey, Dr. Joffe, would you check this man out

for a hernia, please.

- Oh great, another one of those glamour jobs.

Okay, drop trou.

Okay.

Cough.

- He seems fine.

- You gotta squeeze harder, sometimes it's inside.

- Ah!

- Cough!

- I am coughing, man.

I'll cough up a fucking lung

ifjust have this guy let go of my balls.

- Harder! - But, sir, it's not-

- I know it's unorthodox but we're trying to save a life!

Give 'em a good!

Doctor, I suppose I should schedule

- immediate surgery? - Yes.

They're gonna have to go inside

and check these boys out from the inside out.

- No, we don't, no we don't!

I want to work, I want to work!

- Dr. Joffe, he's cured!

Rachel, Dr. Joffe, uh, that will be all.

And, joffe... oh, I know, sir.

Wash my hands.

- You know, Eddie, I never really had any doubts about you.

Even though your colleagues thought, uh-

- what did my colleagues thought?

- Well let's just say you hung in there

when the shit hit the fan.

- That's because I'm a shit-in-the-fan dodger from way back.

I didn't get into medicine til late in life.

- Really, what did you do before this?

- Honestly, I sold real estate, made investments,

property, land,

I was doing pretty good, I had a lot of investors.

Everything was going okay.

One day I woke up and looked at myself in the mirror,

I said, "Eddie, this ain't the life for you no more."

And I went to medical school.

- Oh, what school?

- Uh, nearby.

What's it like running a hospital?

I mean, being in charge of everything in the hospital,

like the food and the strawberry desserts,

jell-o's and things like that,

I'd like to speak to you about the strawberry jell-o's.

- Yes.

I know you run a hospital

but I want them strawberry jell-o's, okay?

- Well if you can believe it, I haven't had the chance yet,

tonight's my tryout for the job.

- Hey, Rachel, you're doing a great job

running this hospital, you know.

And you're a lot prettier than chambers.

- Thank you.

- Um, I gotta fix food, coffee.

Miss atwood, miss atwood.

This is Mary up in icu,

it must be 110 without air conditioning.

We've gotta do something.

- I'll take care of it, Mary.

- Listen, don't panic.

You fix the sandwiches, I'll go up to icu with Mary.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

Hey, you goofing off again?

Trying to mobilize everybody for icu.

- Oh.

- We're gonna move the helicopter into the lobby.

Blow air up the elevator shafts.

You gonna be all right?

Say "ah.“

to the lobby, Louis.

- Okay, come on, let's go.

- Can you get it through the door?

- Hey, don't worry about it, it's foolproof.

I'll take a sandwich, that's what I'm gonna do.

- Okay. - Foolproof!

Pull!

Pull!

Come on, men, we almost got it up.

Now put your backs into it, one more time.

One, two, three, pull!

- Oh, my god.

Eddie, you said you could put it

through the front door, foolproof.

- Well, it's close.

See, all I gotta do is get the chopper

up by the elevator shaft,

and I'm gonna blow air throughout the whole hospital.

And these guys are gonna help me

because all I have to do is get it up the steps.

Right, men?

You're gonna give it a try?

One more time, one, two, three, pull!

- Okay, Eddie, look, you did your best.

Let's just get them up to icu,

guys, just drop what you're doing

and just follow me up to icu, okay?

Eddie?

- Anybody here know anything about choppers?

- Sir, I am a expert in choppers, doc.

The slicks, the sikorskys, all of the hueys,

the a, the b, the c, the d model,

airwolf, blue thunder, and this one here, the huey 500 d.

I know this sucker backwards and forwards.

- You wouldn't bullshit me, would you?

No, I wouldn't shit you.

- Get in.

- Well, you see, I was a chopper mechanic

in the big Asian vacation.

Never got off the ground because of my fear of heights.

But, if you put somebody behind that stick,

I can definitely show you how.

- Eddie, we don't have anymore time,

we have got to evacuate the icu.

- Any volunteers?

Bring it on up, easy, now, easy.

Too much left pedal!

Now ease your side stick forward!

- My what? - Your steering stick.

A little more collected!

Your up-and-down stick!

My up and down stick?

What are you talking about, my dick?

- I hope he knows what he's doing.

- No sweat, he told me he owns one of those things.

Okay, okay, okay,

that's it, easy, up, up, up!

- It's a piece of cake. - Slow! Slow!

Oh, shit, they're dusting your ass with 505,

get outta the trees!

What!

- Left! Left! - I'm turning left!

Wait a minute, man, are you freaking out down there or what?

- Rocket fire, evade, evade!

- What, evade what?

Man, this ain't Vietnam!

To the right, to the right!

You fucking crazy?

- Oh, shit, they blew up my stash.

Oh, god, I'm out of drugs.

- Listen to me, you stoned fuckhead!

How do I land this thing?

- Don't land, take it up!

Back to base, man!

The pad's too fuckin' hot!

Take it up, take it up, don't land!

- The war's over, you fuckhead!

I'm gonna die in this motherfucking helicopter!

- Don't land!

Don't land, don't!

- All right! - Way to go, nice job!

- I'm going to grab his heart and pull it out of his ass.

- You get the distinguished flying cross, doc.

Say, you got something for me?

- Cough, cough!

It's gonna be fine.

It's gonna be fine.

Having a fit.

Well, it worked, what do you think?

- That was terrific.

I know I'm gonna wake up any minute and laugh my head off.

- Well, I'll tell you something, you can't go to sleep now,

we got a lot of work to do, right?

- You guys gotta get the generator going,

you gotta bail out the basement.

Your troops look wasted, I don't know...

- Why don't you just go up to er and do what you gotta do,

I'll take care of my troops.

- Okay, thank you. - Okay.

- I'll be right back, Tommy.

Don't forget about me, doc.

- Well?

- Well, these x-rays are meaningless.

- What the hell do you need, an artist's sketch?

- No, we need a cat scan to substantiate the evidence.

- We can't do a cat scan, doctor, there's no power upstairs.

Dr. Slattery!

Dr. Slattery, sir, Tommy pinto

has an epidural hematoma of the spine

and the longer we wait to operate

the greater the risk of paralysis.

You gotta take a look at him, sir.

- No, he's jumping to conclusions.

- No, I'm not.

- Look, you see this?

This is meaningless, we don't have the proper information-

- oh, the symptoms are obvious, what else could it be?

- Well, it could be... what?

- Let's just say, for argument's sake,

- he needs an operation. - He does.

- We don't have an operating room to operate in, do we?

- We don't?

- Of course not, there's no power up there.

Dr. Slattery, I mean, it's inconceivable

to perform that kind of delicate surgery

here in the emergency room, isn't it?

I mean, would you?

- No, I never have.

- Of course not, I mean, the air,

it's filled with bacteria, germs, it's not antiseptic.

We can't expose the central nervous system to a lawsuit.

- Sir, what if we can't restore power in time?

What if we can't evacuate Tommy?

- Stop it, pull yourself together-

- wait! Wait!

Shh!

Doctors, act like doctors,

what the hell's wrong with you guys?

Will somebody tell me what is going on?

- Tommy? - Mm-hmm.

Dr. Slattery, would you please take a look at Tommy?

I know what I'm talking about, he won't even look at him.

- It's not my domain, it's your domain.

- See, it's, no!

- Yes, it is.

- Yeah, I'm only the intern.

- I'm a surgeon, I never talk to patients-

I mean, until after, before surgery.

- You have to, Dr. Slattery, you have to go in there.

Oh, Dr. Slattery!

Dr. Slattery!

- No, listen, I'll go in, I'll look at him, alone.

- Thank you, sir. - You're welcome.

- Hey, doc, how you doing?

- Ahem.

So, how you doing, Tommy pinto?

- Okay.

So, what's the story here?

- The story is, you should have used a ladder.

- Tommy, you a diabetic? - Hmm?

- Diabetic? - No.

- What's your favorite flavor?

- Red.

- Shit, that's mine, too.

They just don't put enough reds in here.

- Thanks. - You're welcome.

- Hey, doc. - What?

- Can you look at my legs?

'Cause I can't feel nothing.

That's bad, isn't it?

- No, that's, hey, no.

It's not as bad as you think it is.

- We're just gonna put a heating pad on it for a couple days

and it'll be okay, right?

- You're a lucky man.

I mean, you could have fallen off a roof anywhere, right?

But you fell off here at the hospital.

There are a lot of good people around, right,

that are gonna take care of you.

Gonna make sure that you're all right,

so you're gonna be fine.

You're gonna be fine.

- Hey, doc, you're not bullshitting me, are you?

- Well, what do you think?

- Eddie, what's up?

- You see, I've been getting a free ride.

There's a man down the end of the hall,

and if he doesn't get an operation,

he may be crippled the rest of his life.

I can't keep this bullshit up anymore

- but you have to. - I have to?

- Look, I know how worried you are about Tommy,

I know how hard this is for you.

- Okay, but I'm not the person you think I am.

We need someone who can get the or going.

- Listen to me - you're not listening.

- Eddie, listen to me,

every time that we've been up against the wall,

you made us believe that anything was possible.

- Anything's possible.

- Yes.

You made me believe it, too.

- Yeah, I could, uh-

we could try.

Okay, let's try.

- Did we get in that box? - Yes, they're right here.

- Great, the anesthesia equipment is working.

Check this beat.

It's nice stuff, I mean, it's great.

- Here we go, Dr. Foster.

- Very romantic.

This is what you brought me up here for?

You expect me to perform surgery under these conditions?

Who are you people?

Miss atwood, you are an incompetent fool.

Everything you've done this evening

has jeopardized the future of this hospital.

I will no longer be a party to your criminal behavior.

Good day.

- Dr. Foster!

Dr. Foster.

Hold on a minute, you son of a bitch,

why you talkin' to miss atwood like that for, man?

She's only trying to help.

I'll break nine of your fingers,

I'll leave you one though, to shove up your pompous ass!

Now can you operate in there or not?

- If something happened under those conditions

I would have absolutely no defense.

- So you're gonna leave a man downstairs

'cause you're afraid you're gonna get sued?

Look, are you a doctor or what, some chickenshit bureaucrat?

Why did men like me and you go into medicine

in the first place, doctor?

- Dr. Slattery, ever since I became a doctor

I've watched the medical profession go to hell.

We aren't treated any better

than fly-by-night auto mechanics

or shoddy house builders.

If the customer isn't happy, they haul us into court.

Where is the deference, the trust?

- The trust?

You're a penis head, you know that?

- What? - We're doctors!

People come to us for help and they say,

"doctor, help me, please, “ and we help them.

That's power.

And you're gonna let your lawyers scare you out of that?

Dammit, man, we got the greatest jobs in the world,

we can park anywhere we want.

Driveways, loading zones, no tickets.

- We get aisle seats at the theater.

- There you go.

- Is there a fire?

What's going on?

- Where are you going? - I have no choice.

- Hey, where are we going?

- Chambers' research lab.

- What's that? - This is a mutiny.

No, what are you doing?

- Oh my god! - Nice shot.

Miss atwood... watch your foot.

Hey, what is this, the cafeteria?

I suppose you think that's funny, do you?

This is criminal behavior.

You just can't break,

actually, this is breaking and entering.

Miss atwood!

- Dr. Slattery, can we light the or with this generator?

- Uh, I don't see why not.

- My god!

What is Arthur going to say?

- Arthur!

- No, this is Arthur's baby.

- This is not Arthur's baby, this is Arthur's baby!

- Dr. Foster, this is an emergency I've got to deal with.

- Stop!

Miss atwood, you're throwing your career out the window.

What is your problem?

- It's a risk I've got to take, right, Eddie?

- Right. - No!

Stop!

Miss atwood!

Ah!

Oh, what are we doing?

- Well, what about it, Dr. Foster,

can you perform the operation?

Oh, what a mess!

- Yuck.

Oh!

- Well we got the power on, so can you?

- Okay, okay, anything to get out of here.

- Great, I'll get it moved.

- Dr. Slattery, Dr. Slattery,

I'd be pleased to have you assist me in the surgery.

Dr. Slattery.

- Yes? - We have to go.

I'm not yet, uh, clean.

- They're waiting for us.

Dr. Slattery.

- Germs? Germs?

I'm just trying to get sterile.

See, is this sterile enough?

- I don't know if you've ever been in on one of these,

it's a very challenging procedure.

Without the cat scan, we can't pinpoint the hematoma.

A lot of spine may be exposed, a very delicate procedure.

I think from the symptoms, though,

it should be between t-9 and t-10.

- Doctor, I don't think I'm the man for this job.

- I don't understand.

I don't want to know.

I don't care who the hell you are.

Send joffe up here on the double.

Keep your hands in your pockets for the rest of the night

and run this hospital.

- Thank you, doctor.

- Do we have enough iv fluid?

- Rachel, I need a hand in here.

Get these kids out of here, please.

Please get these children out of here!

Doctor, she's fully dilated.

- She's having a baby?

- Yes, it come out like a gum ball.

Rachel, come hold her hand while she bear down.

Okay, dear, yes, come on, push it.

- She's got my arm.

- Push, push!

Take deep breaths, good girl.

Oh, she's a good girl.

- There was a head, it went back up, but it was a head.

- Okay, good girl, good girl.

Breathe slow now, breathe slow, good girl, good girl.

- You're doing well. - Another one is coming!

- You know what to do. - Oh my god!

- A half a dozen times before.

- I did another one. - All right, push now.

- Oh, my god! - Push!

- It's coming! - Push!

- It's coming out, it's coming out.

It's a baby!

- Doctor, catch it! - It's a baby!

Oh, my god, it's a baby boy.

- It's a boy.

- It's a baby.

It's a baby boy.

Look at the nuts on your baby!

- Rachel, you cut the cord.

- Okay.

- Oh my god, baby.

- Hold him, I'm not holding him, hold him.

- You should be proud of yourself, you worked real hard.

Doctor, would you mind giving the baby back to mommy now?

- Keep you nice and warm.

- You're a good girl, you did well.

Here's your baby.

That's your mommy.

- It's my baby.

Thank you, doctor, thank you.

- You're a good mommy.

You got a good baby, too.

- You act as if you've never seen one before.

- Oh, I've seen them before.

Every time I, deliver a baby, it's,

it's like the first time.

It's a baby.

- Everything worked out great, he's fine.

- Great, thank you, doctor.

- Thank you.

Thanks.

- Well?

- You deserve a victory cigar, what's your favorite flavor?

- Red. - Red! Shit!

I'm never gonna get one of these.

You saved his life, you know.

- Me? You did.

- No, you did.

- It was a team effort.

- You and me was a team?

- Yeah, we make a good team.

Doctor, er.

- Yeah, i-

- hello, doctor. - Hi.

- Do you really like moving around as much as you do,

from hospital to hospital,

never getting to know the people you work with very well?

- Is that a proposal?

- It's an offer.

- Well, I have been thinking that I should,

be more serious about my career.

Okay, junkies, change shifts.

- Shit, man!

Hey, where the hell did he come from?

I don't know, hey, man, get up!

- Hey, come on, help me turn him over!

- Give us a hand, man, give us a hand!

- Come on!

- Get his head out of the water!

Hey, we got ourselves a dead cop.

He washed in from the ocean!

Call the er, get a doctor!

- The guy's dead.

Who the hell was he?

- That cop who brought me in.

- You killed him?

- There's got to be another key for that boat, man.

- No, no.

- Come on, buddy, you're in on this.

Hold the light.

Jackson!

Shit.

As new yorkers woke up this morning

to the aftermath of the biggest storm in a decade,

they found widespread damage

and parts of the city still without power.

- This cop didn't drown, he was strangled.

- Oh god.

- Any of you guys seen a man with blond hair, blond beard,

in prison denims in the hospital tonight since the blackout?

- No.

- Please, girls, it's my fault, please think again.

I left him in the radio room.

- Wait a minute, why would someone come back to the hospital

if he's trying to escape?

- You killed a cop, man,

you try to get away while the body's still warm.

- Right.

- This guy's been dead for like 10 hours.

- 10 hours?

Causeway was still in then.

It didn't go until I tried to escape, I mean evacuate.

- Well then there's no problem.

He got off the island when the lights went out.

- You don't believe that.

- Okay, well I'll radio the city police.

- Come on, box.

I go free, you go free.

You'll come over to my house next week for dinner,

meet the wife and kids.

- I ain't got no clothes.

- Oh, I'll lend you some of mine,

we'll just let out the shoulders a little bit.

Miss atwood, come in, please.

- Arthur?

You'll never guess where I've been all night.

I've been held hostage in the psycho ward.

Now when you have a free moment,

do you think you could come up and let me out?

- Oh, god shit.

Uh, yes!

- Miss atwood here is a witness

that I agreed to these demands of my own free will.

- Nurses with bigger-

- just open the door, Rachel!

- Hold it!

I want Kevin lennihan, this guy makes me crazy.

Go get me Kevin lennihan!

- Lenni-who?

- Box, we've been through this, I thought we made a deal!

- Kevin lennihan, I want him here.

- Well I don't know who you're talking about?

- Kevin lennihan, he's black like me,

he's in his late 305, he's got a mustache.

He ain't crazy like us.

Now, where the hell is he?

- For god sakes, tell him he's gone!

Wait, can you describe him more?

He used to be in real estate,

he owned his own helicopter.

He ain't bonkers like us,

he just acted that way to stay out of jail.

Oh, he's crazy, all right,

but just about them damned old lifesavers, especially red.

- Box, listen to me, he didn't stick around for you-

- shut the fuck up, asshole, he didn't run out on us.

Now you listen to me, lady.

Either you go get Kevin lennihan

and bring him down here to me

or sunshine here ends up part of the goddamn parking lot!

Now do you get that?

- Yes, sir. - Rachel!

Talk to these people!

Shut up, or I'm gonna feed you to goddamned fido!

Louis.

Mrs. Harwood, no, ma'am.

No, ma'am, you know our condition.

Get it out of here, give her some juice.

How are we doing?

- Fine, thank you very much.

I'm gonna tell Dr. Joffe you're okay, okay?

He's going into law, you know.

Hey, what's the game?

- The game's craps.

We're playing with some kinda dice.

- Mr. Lennihan.

- Cheating you!

- Mr. Lennihan.

You better give me my money, man.

- How could you?

Stolen jewels are one thing, but you delivered a baby,

what the hell was going on in your mind?

What if it was breech?

What did you plan on then, 100 things could have gone wrong

while you were playing doctor.

You know what, I would have been responsible, not you.

You took advantage of everyone, especially me.

Do you have any idea how much trouble I'm in?

I'm history in this hospital!

I tore open the front door of the hospital 'cause of you.

I blew up chambers' lab, not you!

- Calm down, I took all the risks.

- What risks?

You were having a great time playing with people's lives.

Rachel-

- don't call me Rachel, I'm miss atwood.

- Think about where you would have been tonight without me.

Okay, think about that.

- That's right, you made me believe

that anything was possible.

- You'd have fallen on your fuckin' face if it wasn't for me

and now you're giving me a bunch of shit,

I don't deserve this shit!

- You deserve to be in jail, which is where you're going

after you get your friends to let chambers go.

- Wait a minute. - For what?

You have a heart bypass scheduled?

Maybe a little brain surgery coming up?

- Are you fucking crazy, I'm not gonna let chambers go

if they're sending me to jail anyway.

You want him out, we gonna have to make a deal.

Nobody goes to dannemora, nobody, especially box,

and I want your word on that, no one goes to dannemora.

- Okay.

But nothing for you, though, right?

- Wrong, I walk, I'm getting out of your precious hospital.

All I want is to bolt, and I'm out of here, okay.

- You see, now I know who you are.

You're lennihan.

Nothing for nothing, right?

- Call it like you see it, okay, is it a deal?

- Yeah.

This is what you wanted, isn't it?

- Lennihan, all right, lennihan, my man!

I knew it, I knew he was coming back!

- You son of a bitch, what the hell's going on?

- I agreed to two conditions;

he gets safe conduct out of here, no one goes to dannemora,

then he'll get box to let you out.

- Fine, absolutely, it's a deal.

- Would you look at you, man.

Eight hours ago, you was a dog, now you a doctor.

Man, you make me proud to be an American, I swear.

- This reunion is very touching, but if-

- hey, asshole, unless you really want to get touched,

shut the fuck up and get out of my face.

You got a way with people, box.

- Chambers wanted to let me out of here,

but I don't know, I didn't think it was too good an idea.

- No, not this way, box.

- You're probably right.

Yeah, yeah, you're right.

Man, you really trust her.

- She's a stand-up lady, box.

- Your word is gold with me, bubba, gold.

- This is where I was headed fpr 12 hours ago

before I took a detour.

Had some fun, hey, made a friend.

- Why is she so pissed off at you, I can't get it.

-I do.

- But you handled everything like a pro.

- That's it, I'm not a pro.

I'm a bullshitter, just like she said, I'm full of shit.

97, 98, 99, 100.

- Get out of here, you, and don't come back!

- That bastard's not getting away, come on.

- We made a deal.

- Stop being such a fool.

He's not getting off this island.

This is Arthur chambers, a man's escaped from psycho,

secure the grounds.

- But the causeway's out, he can't get off the island.

He's got to be hiding in hospital.

- Forget the grounds, we'll turn the hospital inside out.

If he should suffer bodily injury

in the course of being recaptured

no one will be reprimanded, that's a promise.

Ah!

- Nobody asked her what to do,

everybody asked you what to do.

You had all the great ideas.

She's a hard-ass.

- I don't want to hear no more

about that lady, Louis, please.

Would you just untie me,

I don't want to take the clock with me when I go.

I'm trying to get this boat to run!

- Arthur, we needed the air, there was no circulation.

- How...

- Arthur!

- Are you gonna tell me

you couldn't tell a doctor from a psychotic con man?

- Arthur, calm down.

We heard what you've been through last night, terrible.

Terrible.

But you should console yourself.

No matter who this slattery was,

we didn't lose a single life here tonight,

that's what's important.

- You won't think it's so important

when you're spending the rest of your career in court.

What are you talking about?

Arthur, we can justify everything.

- We? We?

What do you mean, we?

You! You!

You were the senior physician here!

- Arthur, don't do this to me.

We have to stick together.

- Oh, you went over the wall on your own, doctor.

Don't expect this hospital to share your liability

in disregarding basic procedures!

- But the situation was such that-

- you're looking at a blizzard of litigation, foster!

Anyone walks out of here tonight with a common cold

has a good case for malpractice!

Junkies roaming the halls, orderlies prescribing diets,

dismembered ambulances,

and a helicopter in my fucking lobby!

- Oh, my god.

Why did I ever become a doctor, I could've been a lawyer.

- Mr. Chambers, sir,

given the shape that this hospital is in,

I don't see what other choice Dr. Foster had here tonight.

- Joffe, you'll be asking yourself that question for years

when you're practicing medicine in a small town in Idaho.

You're finished in this city.

These people have a lot to thank you for.

- Oh, fuck off, chambers!

You don't know what the hell you're talking about!

- Why thank you for your professional opinion, nurse lesser.

And for your performance to night

you'll be back on the wards emptying bedpans.

- Arthur, this is totally uncalled for.

These people did what had to be done.

If you insist on treating these people like this-

- I will resign.

- Now that's the first helpful thing you've done all night.

Go clean out your desk.

- Keep going, keep going!

It's not your problem!

Ah, shit!

Get back!

Get back!

Jail, remember?

- The fire's in the laundry room.

- Oh god, what next?

- False alarm, be careful, please!

The fire's out back.

The fire's out back.

Okay, get everybody out front,

you're going the wrong way, please.

Dr. Joffe, I want you to get over to or,

check on Tommy pinto, make sure he's okay.

Dr. Foster, please, go up to icu,

please, we may have to evacuate.

All right, everybody move it!

Maggie, get all these people out in the front, please,

and some of this equipment

'cause we may have to use the front for fire victims.

- Right. - Everybody move it!

Nobody's moving, what they hell's going on?

- Come on, let's move it, do as he says!

Dr. Slattery, great to have you back.

- I'm lennihan, Kevin lennihan.

Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you, lennihan.

- Hey, Louis! - Yes!

- Pull out the hose!

- Come on! - Get it straight!

Forwards, not backwards!

- It's hot, man! - I know it's hot,

but hang in!

Come on, don't give up on me now!

- The exits are in that direction.

Ma'am, the exits are there.

Calm down.

- The key to the boat!

- Ah!

- The key! - I don't have it.

- Don't lie to me.

- Here, take 'em.

- You come along for insurance.

- Give me more line, stay with it!

Pull!

- Him!

Now he's trying to burn down my fucking hospital!

Attention, security!

Bring weapons and sharp objects.

I've got you now, lennihan!

Incitement to riot, kidnapping, arson-

- fuck you!

Way to go, chambers!

- Sir? Sir.

Miss Addison's stuck in the basement.

- Get this maniac, he's not a doctor!

- Why should they listen to you, huh, chambers?

- Arrest him, that's an order.

Are you deaf?

- Lennihan saved your hospital.

That's right!

- He's right. - Yes.

- You people are as gullible

as the half-wits in the psycho ward!

He's conned you all!

- I'm a con man, huh?

Well what are you, chambers?

You've conned these people into believing

you could run this hospital.

Well look at me, they're scared,

and they're pissed off at you.

You know why?

I'll tell you why, you never let 'em use their own minds.

Every time they get a chance you come down on 'em

like some kind of dog biting a bone,

and they don't know how to deal with it,

so they panicked, okay?

Listen, you've got some good people here,

some of them are real stars.

Besides that, you got a great hospital.

- This is a last-ditch insanity plea, it must be.

You're telling me how to run a hospital?

- Industrial accidents!

Preventive maintenance is the key.

If you'd used that,

Tommy pinto wouldn't have went on the roof in a hurricane

and damn near killed hisself.

- Accidents happen.

- Emergency generators!

They went out.

Chief administrator's responsibility.

- You tell him, doc.

- Nobody's interested in these wild allegations.

- Press!

Radio, TV, newspapers.

I know people in the media,

they'd be glad to print this kind of story.

And if that don't work, these people here,

they got a lot of wonderful stories

they'd be willing to tell the press.

- You bet!

- You don't want to get her started.

- Please help me, someone!

Security! Chambers!

Please, I'm in the boiler room, stucky's after me.

- He's still on the island? - Oh, Christ!

- Give me that, cover the grounds!

- Who's stucky?

- Oh, my aching balls.

- Okay, let's do it.

- Louis, I need help!

Hello, can you hear me?

You gotta send me up somebody, quick!

- Ah! Oh.

- Come on!

The key. The key!

This is the end of the road.

I don't think I need you anymore.

- No.

Please, no.

- We got the whole place surrounded, sir,

permission to move in?

I got the rotten bastard, he's in my sights,

permission to fire.

Chuh-chuh-chuh-chuh.

Get that fucking helicopter out of here, will ya?

Hey, I hope you guys down there

get him when they come out the door!

Sir, if they come out the back door we got 'em for sure.

Hey, what about if they go back in the hospital?

Oh, we're fucked, we can't have that!

There's nobody's guarding the back of the hospital!

Hey, this is big daddy with a big 10-4.

What about the girl?

Fuck the girl, we kill everybody.

- No! Please!

- Shit, sir!

Move it!

Which way to the boat?

- The door, over there.

- Rachel, run!

- Eddie! - Get out!

Get out!

- One, two.

Come on! Come on!

- You black bastard, you!

I'll kill you!

Rachel, get out!

Come on, get over here!

- Get out, Rachel!

No, ah!

- Where's the boat? - Over there.

- Rachel! Rachel!

Damn you!

Rachel, I'm gonna get that motherfucker!

- I'm okay.

- Come on! All right!

- Nobody kicks my dog, motherfucker!

- Oh, shit!

- You fucking wimpo doctor!

- I am not a doctor!

We some bad black motherfuckers, ain't we?

- Damn right, bubba.

You all right?

- Take care of him!

Not them. Him!

All right, come on, stucky!

- Let's say your files were destroyed in the fire.

- Thanks.

- You're free and clear, you can start all over.

- I like the sound of that.

- Get out of here, lennihan.

- Damn, bubba.

- You the man, bubba, you the man, lennihan.

You take it easy, fido.

- Why the hell couldn't you be Dr. Slattery?

- I wish I could be who you wanted me to be, but I'm not.

- Well I think that you might be, Mr. Lennihan.

- Would you like to have dinner with me tonight?

- I'd like that.

Very much.

- Eight hours ago, I was a lunatic in an insane asylum.

Right, now I got a yacht, I met a nice lady.

Proud to be an American.
