00:00Come, it's a good girl.
00:01There's our lovely, our fabulous, our psychologist, Lily.
00:07Come on out, girl.
00:11Come here, come and sit there in the back.
00:14I know this is very nerve-wracking right now, but Lily, my darling, what we're going to do,
00:20we're going to ask our eligible public servants around the corner there.
00:24Just a few more questions to see if they're worthy of you.
00:28Now, please remember, you don't have to choose any of them.
00:32You can choose a date or a day of hampering.
00:36I'm talking about a fabulous, all-expenses-paid day at the spa.
00:42Manicure, pedicure, jacuzzi, sauna.
00:46Sounds good to me, but of course, the choice is yours.
00:51So, if you go, Lily.
00:53Okay.
00:54Well, um, I'm a veterinarian, so eligible number one, if you were a dog, what kind of dog would you be?
01:04I would be a St. Bernard.
01:07Because I'm big and strong, and after I rescue you, I'd love to take you out for a drink.
01:12What's wrong, baby boy?
01:19Hey, to have boosable trouble.
01:21Okay, how about you, number two?
01:23Uh, I would be a Weimaraner.
01:28Because, you know, they're really, they're great dogs.
01:32And they don't shed.
01:34Okay, I like a man who just stayed around the house.
01:42Uh, number three.
01:45Hello, number three.
01:48Oh, me?
01:50I, uh...
01:53I passed.
01:55Oh, no.
02:00Eligible number three is being a bad dog.
02:03I'm not a bad dog.
02:05I'm not any kind of dog.
02:07I like dogs.
02:09It's just a ridiculous question.
02:12Oh, wow.
02:15You won't get a doggy treat if you don't answer the question.
02:23Black Lab.
02:23Sounds good.
02:28Why?
02:30Uh, because they're smart and, uh, loyal.
02:37Good answer.
02:38Still a stupid question.
02:42Well, I can't say I disagree with you there, but why did you come on the show if you didn't want to have to answer silly questions?
02:48Yeah, go, Lily.
02:50Go, Pa.
02:51Why?
02:51Uh, actually, I, uh, threw the short straw at the precinct.
02:57You know, the captain thought it would be good PR.
03:01Oh.
03:02I guess I'm not supposed to say that either.
03:05No.
03:06I don't think so.
03:08He's blowing it.
03:09Yeah, he's a little nervous.
03:10Well, that's it.
03:13We're out of time.
03:15So, Lily, my little love goddess diva, what's it going to be?
03:19Hot love?
03:20Or a hot tub?
03:22Remember, is it going to be a date or a day of pampering?
03:25Fluffing.
03:26All that fluffing and love.
03:28Oh, well, I have to admit, the pampering sounds really good.
03:31It sounds so good.
03:33But I'm going to go on a date with eligible number three.
03:38Oh, what a surprise.
03:43Well, that means we've got to say thank you and goodbye to our other hunts of the day.
03:47So, Lily, would you please tell our audience and the viewers at home exactly why you chose
03:51eligible number three, the, uh, very outspoken police lieutenant, Steve Sloan.
03:58Well, the thing I value most in a person is honesty, and, uh, it sounds to me like he has that.
04:05Yes.
04:05To a fault, I may add.
04:08Anyway, Steve Sloan, come and meet your date!
04:15Okay, guys, don't forget to tune in next week after our video crew have actually followed Steve and Lily on their date.
04:27And we're just going to see exactly how Lily fares with the man who refers to himself as
04:36the unluckiest bachelor in L.A.
04:41On...
04:43...video crew!
04:44We got it!
04:46Woo!
04:47Woo!
04:47Woo!
04:47Woo!
04:47Woo!
04:48Woo!
04:48Woo!
04:49Woo!
04:49Woo!
04:50Woo!
04:50Woo!
04:50Woo!
04:51Woo!
04:51Woo!
04:51Woo!
04:52Woo!
04:53Woo!
04:53Woo!
04:53Woo!
04:54Woo!
04:54Woo!
04:55Woo!
04:55Woo!

05:19Woo!
05:25Woo!
05:26Woo!
05:26Woo!
05:26Woo!
05:27Woo!
06:27You know, you have to wonder, though, why a girl with that much on the ball would have to go on a television show to get a date.
06:32She didn't have to, Dad.
06:34She's new in town, and she's adventurous.
06:37She likes snowboarding, backpacking, and that other thing, what is it?
06:42Spinning.
06:42I mean, she's great.
06:44Or if she's a psycho.
06:46Given my dating history, it could go either way.
06:48All right, having our very old paparazzi crew makes me feel famous or something.
07:01I don't like it.
07:04Act nonchalant.
07:05Let me ask you something.
07:11Someone as bright and attractive as you.
07:15Wait, I'm sorry.
07:16I don't think they heard that.
07:17Could you speak into the microphone?
07:18Whatever convinced you to go on, make a date?
07:24My best friend.
07:25She dared me.
07:27You see, I haven't been in LA that long, and although it's a little-known fact, most men with pets are married.
07:34You're kidding.
07:37That can't be true, can it?
07:39Do you have any pets?
07:41Well, no, but, uh...
07:44So what about you?
07:48I mean, you didn't really draw a short straw, did you?
07:51That's the lamest story I've ever heard.
08:00Here's to short straws and best friends.
08:04I refuse to answer that in the grounds, as it may tend to incriminate me.
08:12Oh, come on.
08:14Your secret is safe with me and our lurking film crew.
08:19What's the worst thing you ever did?
08:22Besides, you know, go on TV to get a date.
08:26Okay, here it is.
08:27When I was seven years old, I stole a whole box of those snowball cupcakes.
08:33The pink ones?
08:34I love those.
08:36After I stole them, I didn't know what to do with them, so I ate them all.
08:40Oh, he must have been sick for a week.
08:42Nah.
08:46Only for a minute.
08:46Eating the evidence, that was very smart.
08:54Okay, your turn.
08:56Oh, mine is worse.
08:59Okay, I was six.
09:01My brother had just chopped all the hair off my Barbies, so I just...
09:05It was an accident, really.
09:06I just pushed him down the stairs.
09:10That's not so bad.
09:11He fractured his skull.
09:12Hmm, that's bad.
09:14I feel terrible about it to this day.
09:17You know, technically, that's a felony assault.
09:20Oh, look who's talking, Mr. Grand Theft Cupcakes.
09:24Besides, he assaulted my Barbies.
09:27The juries tend to be very sympathetic about things like that.
09:30Listen, this is, uh, kind of embarrassing, but, uh...
09:36Well, I didn't know if we'd get along or not.
09:39So you made another appointment so you'd have an excuse to bail?
09:43No, not exactly.
09:45I, uh, I gotta go to work.
09:47Oh, sure.
09:49But I'd, uh, love to take you to dinner.
09:52That's okay.
09:53I understand.
09:55I don't think you do.
10:09Were you tonight?
10:10Get down.
10:17Fire again.
10:18Are you all right?
10:23You!
10:24You're, like, shot!
10:26Yeah, thanks for clearing that up.
10:29You think you can call 911?
10:30Totally.
10:31Not a problem.
10:33Hey, do you mind?
10:36Gee!
10:37What happened to you?
10:38I thought you were out on your big day.
10:40Yeah, I was.
10:40I, uh, kind of got shot.
10:42Whoa, whoa, whoa, you gotta sit down.
10:43She shot you?
10:44No.
10:45I don't believe this.
10:46First you date that woman who turns out to be a cop killer?
10:49Jesse.
10:50And then you, you started seeing that woman, the FBI agent,
10:52who took another assignment just when things were getting good?
10:55Hey, whoa, whoa, you gotta sit down.
10:56Jesse, it's just a scratch.
10:57Hey, you fell in love with that married woman, Maeve.
10:59Remember her married?
11:01Yeah, I remember.
11:02And now this.
11:03Steve, you are the unluckiest bachelor in L.A.
11:06Jesse, just give me the antibiotics or do whatever it is you're gonna do to me, will you?
11:09So you sit still, mister.
11:11Trauma three?
11:12Look, it's just a scratch.
11:13I don't need an operating room.
11:16His date shot him.
11:17I'm gonna shoot you in a minute.
11:18Dr. Wilson, thank you for coming right over.
11:30I'm stacked up on rounds.
11:31Is this important?
11:32Yes, I was just finishing up my autopsy report on your patient who died during surgery.
11:37Oh, yes.
11:38Uh, the gallbladder.
11:39Levine, Arthur, yeah.
11:42I'm, I'm wondering, you went straight for the open procedure.
11:46Yes?
11:47Why not the laparoscopic?
11:49I haven't seen this procedure used in years.
11:52No one uses it as a first option.
11:54I do.
11:56I learned the old technique.
11:57I've never been comfortable with a new one.
12:00As overweight as Levine was, it was impossible to use the scope.
12:03I had to open him up.
12:05Hmm, I see.
12:07Is there a problem with the family?
12:09No.
12:10The hospital?
12:11No.
12:12Is someone threatening me with a malpractice suit?
12:15Dr. Wilson, I simply need to account for it in my report.
12:19That's all.
12:20I'm the doctor.
12:21I use the procedure I do best.
12:26Anything else?
12:27No.
12:28Thanks for dinner.
12:32That was wonderful.
12:34Oh, sorry.
12:36Sorry, I forgot.
12:37It's all right.
12:38You know, for future reference, you don't have to hire someone to shoot me to keep me from going to work.
12:43You know, you could always call in with the flu.
12:45I am willing to go to any length to get that second date.
12:49You know, I hope you don't think that, uh, you're in danger of getting shot every time you go out with me.
12:55I'm the adventurous type.
12:58I should go.
13:11Already?
13:12Mm-hmm.
13:13It's late, and, uh, I have a German shepherd named Bruno that I need to neuter at 7 a.m.
13:20Mm-hmm.
13:21I think he'd want me well-rested.
13:23How about later, after, uh, you ruined Bruno's life?
13:27Uh, you know, a good little place for lunch.
13:31All right.
13:33Call me at the clinic around 1?
13:35Yeah.
13:36Mm-hmm.
13:37I have to go.
13:46No stopping you.
13:48Mm-hmm.
13:53Well, some copies help you get me.
13:58You got that right.
13:59Mm-hmm.
14:00Mm-hmm.
14:16Mm-hmm.
14:18Oh, my God.
14:48This is Lieutenant Steve Sloan.
14:51I've got a hit-run victim on the corner of 26th and Woodley.
14:55I need an ambulance. Fast.
14:57Please, hurry.
15:02Please, hurry.
15:10BP 90 over 50, regular pulse, respiratory rate 70.
15:14I'm afraid there's a cardio temp and I'll just take an extra...
15:20No, no, no. You know what? Let's get her in the trauma, too. We don't have time.
15:22Yes.
15:24Steve, we'll do our best.
15:43Med's in.
15:45Pressure's coming back up. 100 over 60.
15:47Thank God.
15:48Okay, I'm going to set up for a transesophageal echo.
15:51We need another large-bore IV.
15:54She's in B-tip.
15:56Paddle, let's go. Hurry.
15:58200.
16:04Clear.
16:05Clear.
16:07Okay, let's go again.
16:09Okay, 260.
16:10Clear.
16:11Clear.
16:11Clear.
16:13Try again.
16:14Let's bring it up to 300.
16:16Okay, I'll stop through 300.
16:17Clear.
16:18Clear.
16:20Damn, come on, Willie.
16:22Again.
16:23300.
16:24Clear.
16:24Clear.
16:26Again.
16:27Dr. Travis.
16:28Look, I said clear.
16:29Clear.
16:41I'm sorry.
16:54Steve.
16:55Hi, Amanda.
16:56They said that you were in surgery with a patient named Lily Wilson.
17:04Yeah.
17:05Look, it can't be her.
17:07She lives in Connecticut.
17:09It's got to be another Lily Wilson.
17:11Frederick, what are you talking about?
17:13My sister's name is Lily.
17:24Lily?
17:32Oh, Lily.
17:39Oh.
17:40Dr. Wilson.
18:01Oh.
18:01Oh.
18:02Oh.
18:03Help.
18:03Oh.
18:03Oh.
18:03Oh.
18:04Oh.
18:04So.
18:05I'm so sorry to hear about your sister.
18:35Look, we're covered here. Why don't you go home? You've been here all night.
18:39No, I don't want to go home. At least here I can, you know, I have things to do. I can feel useful.
18:58He wants to finish out his shift. Sometimes it's better for people to just keep going.
19:05How is Steve?
19:07He left early this morning. He really hasn't spoken about it.
19:14Did you know Frederick had a sister?
19:16Not until last night.
19:21What?
19:25I could be overthinking this, but it doesn't seem a little odd to you. Frederick Wilson's sister, he's never talked to anybody about her. She's in Los Angeles on television, dating Steve. And he doesn't even know she's here?
19:40Yeah, he mentioned that yesterday. He said that they had a falling out and that she had drug problems and that he hadn't heard from her since he moved to Los Angeles.
19:51Hmm.
19:52What are you thinking?
19:54I don't know. Nothing, I guess. Just seemed like a lot of coincidence to me.
20:00You know, there is something else I wanted to talk to you about. It's a little weird given everything that's happened, but Frederick's been acting strange lately.
20:09For instance, yesterday I asked him to answer some questions regarding an autopsy I was performing on one of his patients. And he got really defensive and asked me if I was accusing him of malpractice.
20:20What was the problem?
20:21Well, his patient died during a routine gallbladder surgery. I was just curious to find out why he used the open procedure versus the scope. He told me that he had learned the open procedure first and wasn't willing to change.
20:34It's kind of odd that he hasn't learned the new procedure, though.
20:38That's what I thought.
20:46Excuse me.
20:51Hi, Steve Sloan?
20:53Yes.
20:54Um, I saw you on the TV show.
20:56Oh, yeah, well, I am.
20:58Hi, I'm Jeannie, Lily's roommate and, um, best friend.
21:03Well, you're the one that dared her to go on a show.
21:06Oh, yeah. Guilty.
21:08Please, sit down.
21:09Um, I should be really scared, but, uh, um, I just wondered if you found anything out about the person who, you know, they said that the car came straight at her.
21:26Can you think of anyone that might have wanted to scare or hurt Lily?
21:31No.
21:32I mean, Lily was my best friend.
21:34In some ways, I felt like I knew everything that there was to know about her.
21:44But sometimes I felt like I just didn't know her at all.
21:49I mean, there were things about her past that she just wouldn't talk about.
21:54Um, I found this in her office.
21:59And, Tyler, private investigations.
22:05Yeah, sounds like one of those Raymond Chandler types, doesn't it?
22:08You know, who kind of keeps the fifth of scotch in his desk?
22:11Uh, I'm looking for Lou Tyler. I'm Lieutenant Steve Sloan.
22:20I'm Lou.
22:21Uh, too much for a fifth of scotch in a desk dorm.
22:25That's exactly why I shortened it from Louise to Lou.
22:29Sit, please.
22:30If you were looking for an investigator in the Yellow Pages, who would you choose?
22:35A girl-sounding name, like Louise?
22:38Or a grizzled Raymond Chandler-sounding name, like Lou Tyler, P.I.?
22:44I see your point.
22:46I'm investigating the death of a young woman, uh, Lily Wilson.
22:53Can you tell me why she hired you?
22:55She was looking for her estranged brother, Frederick Wilson.
22:59Another P.I. in Connecticut had tracked him to L.A.
23:03When she got here, he'd moved.
23:05And after almost a year, you hadn't managed to find him?
23:08She only hired me a week ago.
23:10Why would she wait so long?
23:12Maybe she thought she could find him herself.
23:15She didn't know how hard it can be to track someone in this town who doesn't want to be found.
23:19Well, I don't think he was hiding from her.
23:22He's a doctor at Community General.
23:25Well, if I'd known he was a doctor, I could have found him in 15 minutes.
23:30He was on duty the, uh, night they brought her in.
23:34Oh, poor guy. What a shame.
23:42Oh, poor guy.
23:46Picture some breakfast?
23:48No, I ate all night.
23:50Funeral's at 10. I'm gonna get too early.
23:53Yeah, I told Amanda and Jesse I picked him up.
23:57All right. I'll see you there.
23:59All right.
24:01Listen, Dad.
24:05After the funeral, you, uh, think we could talk?
24:09Sure.
24:12Some things here just don't add up.
24:14Mark.
24:25Mind if I come in?
24:27Oh, sure.
24:33Do you want something?
24:35Like a, a drink or something?
24:37No, no, thanks.
24:38I hope you don't mind my coming-bye, Frederick.
24:40You weren't at the funeral.
24:41We got a little worried about you.
24:44I couldn't decide what to wear.
24:49You know, I stood there in front of my closet, looking at my suits.
24:56All pressed, hanging neatly.
24:59And I couldn't go.
25:02I couldn't go.
25:10You know, when we were kids, Lily, our grandmother raised us.
25:16Well, she took us in.
25:19I guess you'd have to say we raised ourselves.
25:23I watched after her like she was mine.
25:29I knew your son was going to be on that TV show.
25:34Everybody in the hospital knew.
25:37I forgot to watch.
25:40I forgot.
25:42I would have seen her.
25:49I let her down.
25:52How could I go and see her today when I let her down?
26:00How's Steve?
26:03The, the, the gunshot wound.
26:05Oh, more of a scratch than the wound, really.
26:08Are they any closer to finding the guy who was trying to kill her?
26:11Well, I wanted to talk to you about that, Frederick.
26:13The police for about decided that whoever shot Steve was actually trying to kill Lily.
26:20Drugs.
26:23Damn it.
26:25Amanda said you mentioned something about a problem.
26:27Problem?
26:28Problem? No, she didn't have a problem.
26:29She was just throwing her whole life into the gutter.
26:32But hey, no problem.
26:35I wasn't about to stick around and watch.
26:38I told her I would do anything for her.
26:41Rehab, therapy, anything.
26:45But she was just so completely in denial.
26:48Is that why you came to California?
26:52Do you think that's harsh?
26:54It wasn't there, Frederick.
26:59So?
27:01Huh.
27:03She comes out here to find me and brings her drug problems along with her, huh?
27:08Yeah, I suppose that's possible.
27:10Well, listen, call me if you need anything, all right?
27:15No, but thank you for stopping by.
27:18Oh, there is one possible piece of good news.
27:22The camera crew said they saw a white convertible pulling away quickly from the Japanese garden.
27:28They track it down?
27:30No, couldn't get the license plate number.
27:32Well, how many white convertibles could there be in L.A.?
27:3610,000? 15?
27:38Couldn't even guess.
27:41One of which, of course, is mine.
27:44Oh, yeah, that's right.
27:46I don't have an alibi.
27:49Not for the shooting.
27:51Not for the hit and run.
27:54Well, I thought you were probably at the hospital.
27:57There'd be no way to account for every hour.
27:59Yeah, I guess not.
28:01You're a good surgeon, Frederick.
28:03You're highly respected in the medical profession.
28:05I mean, that means at least as much as a white convertible.
28:10Well, better go.
28:12Call me if I can do anything.
28:14Oh.
28:16Amanda mentioned something about a gallbladder procedure you did.
28:20What?
28:22I was just curious.
28:24Why did you decide against the laparoscopy?
28:26Is he lying?
28:27He's pretty good.
28:28Is he lying?
28:29He's pretty good.
28:33That was adorable.
28:35Marcus Welby likes you.
28:36He really likes you.
28:37Shut up.
28:38You know, you might want to consider drinking a little less, Frederick.
28:43Just a thought.
28:45So, where were we before we were so rudely interrupted?
28:46I'm sorry if I give you that a call to the left.
28:47I'm sorry if I give you that a call to the right, but I'm sorry.
28:48That is.
28:49But I'm sorry if I'm sorry.
28:50Well, I'm sorry.
28:51Yeah, I'm sorry.
28:52That was adorable.
28:53That was adorable.
28:54Marcus Welby likes you.
28:55He really likes you.
28:56Shut up!
28:57You know, you might want to consider drinking a little less, Frederick.
29:02Just a thought.
29:06So where were we before we were so rudely interrupted?
29:12I'm sorry if I give you the impression that it was Lily who's been blackmailing you all these months.
29:19Impression?
29:21You come to the hospital and tell me she's going to the press if I don't give her more money?
29:25That's not an impression, Lou.
29:27You really shouldn't let yourself get all worked up.
29:39I'm not interested in exposing you.
29:43I don't want justice.
29:44I'm only interested in money.
29:51So, do you want to hear my new terms?
29:54Yes.
29:57When I asked him why he didn't use the laparoscope, he said that his mentor in medical school, Dr. Arneberg, had taught him the open gallbladder, and it was good enough for Arneberg.
30:18He said it was good enough for me.
30:20That makes sense.
30:21Wait a minute.
30:22Tom Arneberg?
30:23Yes.
30:24I think he published a textbook on general surgery.
30:27Right, which recommended the laparoscope for gallbladder surgery.
30:32So the guy's a little quirky.
30:34Likes to do things his own way.
30:35What does that got to do think?
30:37Quirky?
30:38The guy lied.
30:40See, if you didn't see him identify Lily, the guy was devastated.
30:44Okay.
30:45Frederick Wilson is devastated by his sister's death.
30:48What does he do in his grief?
30:50He starts spinning a tale of her years of drug abuse.
30:54She didn't seem like a drug addict to me.
30:57Steve, I'm sorry, but you knew the girl for like a sum total of two days.
31:02I hate to remind you, but you don't have the best judgment when it comes to women.
31:05Can I have this all...
31:07What are the toxicology reports, Sam?
31:11Clean, no drugs in her system, and no liver damage.
31:15Well, not every addict has liver damage.
31:18Garlic, salt?
31:20Blood pressure.
31:21You know, the problem is, you don't have motive.
31:24They fought.
31:26Big deal.
31:27You and I fight.
31:28Doesn't mean that I'm going to kill you.
31:32Can I have that salt again?
31:34You cooked the chicken, right?
31:36Uh-huh.
31:36Why didn't you prepare it the way you wanted it to be?
31:39Well, because people shouldn't eat salt.
31:42It's bad for you.
31:43You know, I have to admit, I have not a clue as to what that motive could be.
31:48He doesn't have an alibi for the shooting or the hit-and-run.
31:50Oh, well, there you go.
31:51No alibi.
31:52Hang him.
31:54Jesse, what's the matter with you?
31:55You act like we're trying to string up Albert Schweitzer or something.
31:59Well, you know what?
32:00Frederick Wilson may not be Albert Schweitzer, but he is a good doctor.
32:03Look, I just feel personally grateful to the guy, okay?
32:08No, that's not okay.
32:09Look, Jesse, you want to give this guy a pass on murder one.
32:12I'd like a little more than I feel personally grateful.
32:16Okay, look, I was in the ER, and I was pretty green.
32:20I was doing a very tricky procedure, and the patient started to go south.
32:24Well, Frederick comes in and just turned it around.
32:26And it's not because I was doing anything wrong.
32:29It's just he was better than I was, and he didn't rub my face in it.
32:34He saved that patient's life and wasn't arrogant about it.
32:39You know, I respect him for that.
32:42Well, I respect that, too, Jesse, but, you know, people can have a lot of contradictions.
32:46I read an article about a hitman who liked to take in stray cats.
32:58Excuse me.
32:59Do you like my chicken?
33:19It's too salty.
33:21It's too salty.
33:29Thank you for meeting with me, Dr. Arneberg.
33:36My father sends his best regards.
33:39Tell him I'll expect him to write the foreword to my next book.
33:44Well, he'd like that.
33:46I wanted to ask you about a student you had years ago.
33:49Oh, well, now, I think you may have made a long, albeit picturesque, journey for nothing.
33:55I like to forget my students as soon as possible.
33:58His name is Frederick Wilson.
34:01Oh, well, now, you made a liar out of me.
34:04Frederick was one of my favorite students.
34:07I like to think that I was a mentor to him.
34:11That's what he said.
34:12He did?
34:14Frederick's in L.A.?
34:15Yes.
34:16Oh, well, I thought he was somewhere back east.
34:22Oh, well, California's blessed for having him on this side of the continent.
34:25You, uh, seem to think very highly of him.
34:29Oh, indeed, I do.
34:31I always knew he'd make a fine surgeon.
34:33He was a wonderful student, straight A's.
34:36But more than that, he had the soul of a surgeon.
34:40I'm not sure I know what that is.
34:43Well, you can define it, really.
34:45You see it, or you don't.
34:50Well, I just wanted to get a personal reference on him.
34:53I appreciate your time.
34:55Happy to be of help.
34:56You know, when they tried to throw Frederick out, I fought like hell for him.
35:03And I'm glad I did.
35:05Did he try to throw Wilson out of medical school?
35:07Oh, yes.
35:08Why?
35:10He ran out of money.
35:12But Emily, my wonderful secretary, found a scholarship that had gone unawarded,
35:18which was specifically designated for minority students.
35:23Minority?
35:24Well, since he's African-American.
35:27So I called the real Dr. Frederick Wilson.
35:29He doesn't know anything about this.
35:31Well, if Frederick's smart enough to impersonate a surgeon,
35:33getting fake papers and somebody else's license would be no problem at all.
35:39Nancy, have you seen Dr. Wilson?
35:41Trauma One gunshot need.
35:42Listen, call security, have them wait outside Trauma One now.
35:47Sure, Dr. Smith.
35:48Steve, he's in the middle of a cold yellow right now.
35:50I have to stop.
35:52Hey, Dad, I'll get there as fast as I can.
35:53Don't let him get away.
35:56Oh, so what do I know this on?
36:02Doctor, I have to ask you to step aside.
36:05Security is waiting out in the hall.
36:07And why is that?
36:08There's a problem with your medical license.
36:14The other day you said I was a good surgeon, but a piece of paper changes your opinion.
36:18How good you are doesn't alter the fact that you can't practice medicine without a license.
36:22If I walk away before I insert this chest tube, this man will die.
36:29All right.
36:31I'm finished.
36:35I'll come back to the curb.
36:36To tell you the truth, I'm just as glad you found out.
36:47I'm sick of having to watch my step.
36:48You know, I'm entirely self-taught.
36:53Got a photographic memory.
36:56Listen to the chest, see if his lung is inflated.
36:58I saved exactly 84 people in the time I would have wasted in medical school.
37:06I kept track.
37:08Other doctors could have treated those 84 people.
37:11Odds are those other doctors wouldn't have been as good as I am because most other doctors aren't.
37:16I can prove that statistically.
37:22I've got a bleeder here.
37:23I need another plant.
37:27Wasn't easy convincing the license board to send me another man's license.
37:31But if you're clever enough and persistent enough...
37:33Yeah, lucky enough.
37:34Luck had nothing to do with it.
37:39Oh, another bleeder.
37:42Get a clamping.
37:46You got it?
37:49You got it.
37:50Good.
37:53Give me some suction and wide-open IV.
37:57I need help here.
37:58He's hemorrhaging.
38:00Get in there.
38:01He's a man with a gun.
38:07Where's the purse?
38:07Dr. Wilson, get him.
38:09Dr. Wilson said there was a gun.
38:10Dr. Wilson is deployed.
38:16Dr. Wilson, get in there.
38:19Hold it.
38:25Just Sloan here.
38:26Put on an APB on Frederick Wilson.
38:29Alert to the airports and the border patrol.
38:32Right, thanks.
38:33I'm going to go over to his place.
38:35You want to come?
38:35We just got his patient's stable, our agent.
38:37We have to make sure he's all right.
38:39I see you.
38:39Yeah.
38:40Oh, my God.
39:10Oh, my God.
39:40Hi.
39:45Well, the body was burned beyond recognition.
39:47However, the dental records match perfectly.
39:50Frederick Wilson was definitely in that white Mercedes.
39:53Oh, Frederick Wilson.
39:55You know, he's the last person on Earth, I would figure, for a suicide.
39:58I found a trace of Valium in his system.
40:01Possibly he was a Valium user, self-prescribed.
40:04Hmm.
40:05And he could have been sedated and murdered and pushed over that cliff.
40:08Well, why would someone want to kill him?
40:12Suppose Millie wasn't the one threatening to expose her.
40:15Supposing somebody else.
40:16Well, why kill the goose that slain the golden egg?
40:20No reason.
40:20Unless the goose was about to be cooked and wanted to take you with him.
40:26And how do you prove that?
40:27Uh, double espresso ristretto with a sliver of lemon, please.
40:39Okay, ristretto.
40:41Do a, uh, how about you, sir?
40:42Uh, a cup of coffee.
40:47Sorry?
40:49Uh, coffee and a couple of sugars.
40:55In the cup.
40:58Oh, bring it to you.
40:59Come on.
41:01I hurt his feelings.
41:03Thanks a lot for coming to meet me.
41:06Oh, listen, it's my pleasure.
41:08Thanks for coming all the way out here.
41:10I want to help in any way I can.
41:13You know, they're investigating Frederick's, uh, death as a murder, not a suicide.
41:19Really?
41:20Do they have any suspects?
41:22Uh, no, not so far.
41:24One, uh, eyewitness, some guy on a motorcycle, said he saw a blonde woman standing with a white
41:29convertible one over the cliff.
41:31That's interesting.
41:33Speaking as one of the three million slightly enhanced blondes in L.A., I gotta tell you,
41:38that's not a lot to go on.
41:40That's right.
41:40You know, they discovered something kind of disturbing about Frederick.
41:45He wasn't really a doctor.
41:48And why did you want to see me?
41:50Well, the piece had discovered that Frederick made a substantial withdrawal from his bank.
41:55Uh, almost a quarter of a million dollars.
41:56Okay, restretto for the lady, and coffee, two sugars.
42:04This really looks great.
42:06Yeah, thanks.
42:06You know, I never understood why coffee got so fancy all of a sudden.
42:15You were saying something about a million dollars?
42:18Oh, yeah, there was something else.
42:19There were some previous withdrawals made over a period of about eight months.
42:26Uh, you know, nothing really big, but still substantial.
42:30What's your professional take on that?
42:32Blackmail.
42:33Yeah, that's what I thought, too.
42:36I don't suppose too many people knew about his, uh, secret, did they?
42:39His sister would have known.
42:41Yeah, possibly.
42:43And then, of course, a private investigator might know, too.
42:48She only hired me a week ago.
42:51That's right, you told me that.
42:53Maybe then you can explain this, uh, surveillance tape to me.
42:58This was taken in the emergency room at Community General Hospital about a week before the first attempt on Lily's life.
43:05You were there for about five minutes.
43:09Oh.
43:10Yeah.
43:11I went for a hike and ran into some poison oak.
43:15I figured I'd go get a shot of cortisone at the ER, but they were jammed with flu patients.
43:21And they told us, if you don't have a knife or gunshot wound, go home and come back later.
43:27So I figured I'd go home and tough it out with the calamine and oatmeal poultices.
43:32How did you heal that?
43:35Not a single scar.
43:36Now, my guess is that that guy sitting on the bench over there, staring at me, is either A, desperately in love with me, or B, your motorcycle slash eyewitness.
43:54And I assume that he hasn't been able to positively ID me, or I would have been arrested by your handsome son sitting next to me.
44:05So, since I'm not under arrest, and I've finished my overpriced fancy coffee, I trust you won't mind if I get on with my day.
44:19I'm sorry, I couldn't have been more help to you.
44:28Come on.
44:29I can't tell you.
44:37Sorry.
44:46Captain Lamory just called.
44:48Lou Tyler's booked on a plane to Buenos Aires this afternoon.
44:51Booked under her own name, to a country with no mutual extradition, and we have no way to stop her.
44:56You know, she's got the $250,000 on her and they'll search her, but, of course, she's way too smart for that.
45:04Well, you know, she's also too smart to let everybody know she's going to be on that plane.
45:08Maybe the reservation's a decoy.
45:11Maybe.
45:11Where do we start?
45:13Did anybody ever collect on Frederick's life insurance?
45:16Everything keeps coming to a dead end.
45:18You know, if Lou killed, uh, Frederick, she's getting away with it.
45:25With Frederick dead, we have no way of knowing if he killed Lily.
45:31Hello?
45:33Steve, you were right.
45:34Hey, how you doing?
45:35I'm from ITL.
45:36I'm here to pick up a body.
45:38Steve, can you hold on a second?
45:40Yeah.
45:41Say, uh, Frederick Wilson.
45:42The cat gets out back.
45:44Can I see the paperwork?
45:45Huh?
45:47Oh, yeah.
45:47Here you go.
45:48Somebody filed next to Ken.
45:51This is being shipped out of Van Nuys.
45:54Steve, are you still there?
46:16Hey, what's going on?
46:41Aren't we cleared for takeoff?
46:43The tower called.
46:44They spotted a flare in our number two engine as we were warming up.
46:47It shouldn't be a problem.
46:48They're going to send a couple of mechanics to check it out.
46:50You, Tyler, you're under arrest for murder.
47:10That's ridiculous.
47:13I'm transporting Frederick Wilson's body to relatives I've tracked down in Florida.
47:18That isn't Frederick's body.
47:20But surprising, considering your friend, the medical examiner, said that it was based on dental records.
47:27Right.
47:28Unless, of course, you murdered someone who roughly fit Frederick Wilson's description,
47:32and then broke into Frederick's dentist's office and substitute his dental records for your John Doe.
47:39Why, pray tell, would I do that?
47:42So you and Frederick could make it seem like Frederick Wilson was dead.
47:45You guys are all over the map.
47:48First, you have me murdering Frederick.
47:50Then you have me conspiring with him.
47:53Of course, you don't have Prince.
47:55You have no proof of a break-in.
47:58You have no proof that that body isn't his.
48:00Well, that's one thing you didn't count on.
48:03We can prove it's not Frederick's body.
48:05I would love to know how you're going to do that.
48:07That body didn't have the hairline skull fracture that Frederick Wilson got when he was a little boy.
48:13His sister pushed him down the stairs.
48:15Said it was the worst thing she ever did.
48:17And the worst thing Frederick ever did in his life was kill his sister.
48:20Because he thought she was blackmailing him.
48:23It was you, wasn't it?
48:26Oh, wouldn't that have been clever of me?
48:28And you kept blackmailing him.
48:31But when it was clear he was going to be brought up on charges for being a fake doctor,
48:35he threatened to take you down with him.
48:37And since each of you had the goods on the other, there was only one way out.
48:41Split up what money there was and part company.
48:44Fake Frederick's death and split the insurance money.
48:48And then there was the $250,000 in the lining of the casket.
48:53What the hell is taking these guys?
48:56Don't even think about it.
48:58It wasn't my idea to kill Lily.
49:00Oh, shut up!
49:02I thought she was going to expose me, destroy everything I'd built up.
49:06She never did believe in me.
49:09Even when we were kids.
49:12I thought she was going to ruin my life.
49:15Frederick, nobody wanted to ruin your life.
49:17You did that yourself.
49:18You did that yourself.
49:25Shall we?
49:26I'm not saying anything until I speak with a lawyer.
49:35Well, I thought at least you'd just say thank you.
49:37And why would I want to thank you?
49:39Because Frederick Wilson is no more a jet pilot than he is a doctor.
49:43I don't think I'm not saying anything.
49:52I thought it was a teacher.
49:54I thought it was a fear.
49:59I thought I was going to ruin it.
