00:00:00The End

00:00:30General Hospital information.

00:00:57No, sir, I can't ring Mr. Boyd's room.

00:00:59Well, they operated on him this morning.

00:01:01Yes, an append...

00:01:02An append...

00:01:03An append...

00:01:04Yes, I took it out.

00:01:07Sally.

00:01:09If you're not busy tonight,

00:01:11how about you and me grabbing a quick sandwich

00:01:13and catching the early show at a movie?

00:01:14Excuse me.

00:01:16Blair General.

00:01:18Oh, hello, Irene.

00:01:20Sure, I had a grand time last night.

00:01:22I was out with Mr. Gustakis in the Pittsburgh.

00:01:24First to a classy cocktail bar

00:01:27and then dinner at a hotel

00:01:28where the soup was $2 a plate.

00:01:31And then to a nightclub

00:01:33with real champagne.

00:01:35Well, goodbye.

00:01:36See you later.

00:01:37What were you saying about tonight, Joe?

00:01:40Oh, I...

00:01:41Nothing.

00:01:42Nothing at all.

00:01:44Good morning, Dr. Lane.

00:01:46Morning.

00:01:46Hi, doctor.

00:01:47Good morning.

00:01:48Uh, has Nurse Mary Lamont checked in yet?

00:01:51Yes, ten minutes ago.

00:01:52Oh, thank you.

00:01:54You know, I got half the notion

00:01:55to take a good poke at that guy

00:01:56trying to cut in on Doc Kildare's girl.

00:01:59Control yourself, muscle-bound.

00:02:01If your pal Kildare don't do anything about it,

00:02:03why should you stick your nose in?

00:02:04What's she giving him a tubble for, anyhow?

00:02:07Why not?

00:02:07The way I see it,

00:02:08there are only two things she can do.

00:02:09Jump off the bridge over Jimmy Kildare

00:02:11or go out with this guy

00:02:12in spite of the fact that he's single,

00:02:14rich, and good-looking.

00:02:15Yeah, he'll need his dough.

00:02:16Up in brain surgery,

00:02:18they're commencing to call him

00:02:19the undertaker's friend.

00:02:23Emergency.

00:02:25Yes, Nurse Lamont?

00:02:27Dr. Kildare...

00:02:28Yes, he went past the desk,

00:02:30but I don't remember

00:02:31if he was coming or going out.

00:02:32Thank you, Sally.

00:02:41Is Dr. Kildare in?

00:02:42Dr. Kildare is in Dr. Gillespie's office.

00:02:44And everything is okay.

00:02:47Gillespie shut himself up

00:02:48in the other room.

00:02:49Thanks.

00:03:00Mary, I get an hour off today.

00:03:02How about having lunch?

00:03:03Jimmy, that'll be wonderful.

00:03:05Kildare!

00:03:05Uh, yes, Dr. Gillespie.

00:03:09What is...

00:03:10I have to make a phone call first.

00:03:12Kildare!

00:03:13Jimmy, Kildare!

00:03:14Coming, Dr. Gillespie.

00:03:16Mary, you have another date for lunch,

00:03:18haven't you?

00:03:19If you already have a date,

00:03:20then you mustn't break it.

00:03:21Besides, I'm not sure

00:03:22Dr. Gillespie will let me off.

00:03:25But, Jimmy, you know...

00:03:26Dr. Kildare!

00:03:27Can't you hear me?

00:03:29I'll be right there, Dr. Gillespie.

00:03:31No lunch, Mary.

00:03:32Kildare!

00:03:33This is the most ridiculous thing

00:03:36I've ever heard of.

00:03:40Jimmy?

00:03:41You've had a pretty busy morning.

00:03:43Why don't you...

00:03:44What did you want, sir?

00:03:46You were saying something was ridiculous.

00:03:48Ah!

00:03:48This report on Rufus Ingersoll.

00:03:51Jimmy Rufus Ingersoll's been examined

00:03:53by every department

00:03:54in this hand-painted institution.

00:03:56Here are 27 different reports

00:03:59by 27 different doctors

00:04:00without a mistake in one of them.

00:04:03Why, it's impossible!

00:04:04Parker!

00:04:06Parker!

00:04:07Ah, Mr. Rufus Ingersoll

00:04:09should be treated

00:04:10with kindness, sweetness,

00:04:12and light.

00:04:14Will you kindly send in

00:04:15Mr. Rufus Ingersoll?

00:04:16Yes, sir.

00:04:18Let me handle this, you may.

00:04:21Good morning, Doctor.

00:04:24Well, Mr. Ingersoll,

00:04:25good morning!

00:04:27And how are you feeling today?

00:04:28Never a little better than my life.

00:04:30Oh, that's fine.

00:04:31That's fine.

00:04:33Because your system's

00:04:34in a state of collapse.

00:04:38Sit down before you fall down.

00:04:41Mr. Ingersoll,

00:04:43you're suffering from a bad case

00:04:45of what we might call

00:04:46the dangerous age.

00:04:49You've been living too young.

00:04:51You've been eating too young.

00:04:52You've been drinking too young.

00:04:54You've been, yes,

00:04:56you've been thinking too young.

00:04:58And all because

00:04:59you fancy yourself

00:05:00to be in love

00:05:01with a young girl

00:05:02in her twenties.

00:05:03And what's the result?

00:05:05Your stomach is overworked,

00:05:07your heart is overstrained,

00:05:10and your kidneys

00:05:11look like

00:05:12the Battle of Gettysburg.

00:05:13My age has nothing

00:05:14to do with it.

00:05:15I'm still a young man.

00:05:17You're young enough

00:05:17to make a fool of yourself.

00:05:19Dr. Gillespie,

00:05:19I came here

00:05:20for medical advice.

00:05:21Okay.

00:05:22You take a large dose

00:05:24of common sense.

00:05:26Of course,

00:05:26your personal affairs

00:05:28have got nothing

00:05:29to do with me,

00:05:30but medically speaking,

00:05:32my advice is

00:05:33that you should lead

00:05:34the life

00:05:35of a gentleman

00:05:35of fifty

00:05:36with his wife

00:05:38and children.

00:05:39Otherwise,

00:05:40Mr. Ingersoll,

00:05:41one of these fine days,

00:05:42you're going to drop dead.

00:05:45Good day,

00:05:46Mr. Ingersoll.

00:05:47This way, sir.

00:05:49Next patient!

00:05:53Next patient!

00:05:56Well,

00:05:57how can I examine you

00:05:58with your uniform on?

00:06:00Examine me?

00:06:01I don't understand.

00:06:02Well,

00:06:02I call for the next patient,

00:06:04and you pop in.

00:06:05You must be

00:06:05the next patient.

00:06:06Have you forgotten

00:06:07Mr. Grayson's waiting

00:06:08in the next room?

00:06:10Why in the name

00:06:11of common sense

00:06:12didn't you tell me?

00:06:12Because you told me.

00:06:14Well, nosy,

00:06:15shake a leg.

00:06:16Yes, doctor.

00:06:16Wait a minute.

00:06:17Tell Grayson

00:06:18we'll be in

00:06:19right away.

00:06:19Yes, doctor.

00:06:21What's your opinion

00:06:21on Grayson?

00:06:23You think

00:06:23he's going blind?

00:06:25Case history

00:06:26shows an increasing

00:06:27pressure on the

00:06:28optic nerve.

00:06:29Every indication

00:06:30points to an

00:06:30enlarged pituitary gland.

00:06:32That agrees

00:06:33with my diagnosis.

00:06:34What do you prescribe?

00:06:36An operation.

00:06:38Removal of the tumor.

00:06:40Sooner the better.

00:06:41You positive of that?

00:06:42Yes.

00:06:44Yes.

00:06:45That's the only chance

00:06:46he has outside

00:06:47of a miracle.

00:06:49You're absolutely

00:06:50right.

00:06:51But the final decision

00:06:53to operate

00:06:53is up to the surgeon.

00:06:55Well, that's one thing

00:06:56we can do for Grayson.

00:06:57Get him a good man.

00:06:59Means you have an idea.

00:07:02I wouldn't dare suggest

00:07:03it to anyone but you.

00:07:04Dr. Gregory Lane.

00:07:06Gregory Lane?

00:07:07Yes.

00:07:08I know there's been

00:07:08some talk.

00:07:10He's lost several

00:07:10patients in a row.

00:07:12But people don't realize

00:07:13that sometimes patients

00:07:14die because there's

00:07:15no chance of recovery.

00:07:16What are you trying

00:07:16to prove?

00:07:17I'm not trying

00:07:18to prove anything.

00:07:20But I feel positive

00:07:21that Lane's a fine

00:07:22surgeon and that

00:07:22the medical profession

00:07:23needs him.

00:07:24What brought Dr. Gregory

00:07:26Lane to your eagle eye?

00:07:28Didn't you once tell me

00:07:29he was the most promising

00:07:29young surgeon ever

00:07:30came to this hospital?

00:07:32Oh, I did say

00:07:34he had a fine

00:07:35pair of hands.

00:07:36but his judgments

00:07:37worried me lately.

00:07:39Well, there's one

00:07:40sure way to check

00:07:40on his judgments.

00:07:42Oh.

00:07:43Well, see what he

00:07:44says about Grayson.

00:07:45Aren't you always

00:07:46telling me that

00:07:47anyone who agrees

00:07:49with you is a darn

00:07:50good doctor?

00:07:52Ah, you're getting

00:07:53too smart for me.

00:07:55Go on, get in there.

00:07:58Good morning,

00:07:59Mr. Grayson.

00:08:00Well.

00:08:00Mr. Grayson,

00:08:06it's as bad as I

00:08:08thought, isn't it?

00:08:10Mr. Grayson,

00:08:11our advice is an

00:08:11operation.

00:08:12A very delicate

00:08:13operation.

00:08:16I understand.

00:08:19I insist on the

00:08:20operation.

00:08:21You see, I'm not

00:08:23afraid of anything

00:08:23except going blind.

00:08:25We're going to send

00:08:26you to one of our

00:08:27very best brain

00:08:28surgeons.

00:08:29Will you tell

00:08:30Dr. Lane I'll

00:08:30talk to him after

00:08:31his exam, Mr. Grayson?

00:08:34I'm very grateful

00:08:34to you both.

00:08:35Never mind us,

00:08:36Mr. Grayson.

00:08:37We'd be pretty

00:08:38bad doctors if we

00:08:40didn't do everything

00:08:41humanly possible

00:08:42for you.

00:08:43I know that.

00:08:45But we both know

00:08:46that the final power

00:08:47of life and death

00:08:48is still in the hands

00:08:49of the great healer.

00:08:50Yes, Mr. Grayson,

00:08:51that doesn't change.

00:08:52Dr. Crewe is on

00:08:53the phone, sir.

00:08:55Well, good luck,

00:08:57Mr. Grayson.

00:08:58Thank you, doctor.

00:08:58Hello, Carew.

00:09:08Well, how is the head

00:09:10of this gold-plated

00:09:11palace today?

00:09:12Oh, oh, I'm fine,

00:09:14Leonard.

00:09:15Mr. Paul Messenger

00:09:15just phoned.

00:09:16You're doing

00:09:17vagal killdare out

00:09:18to the institute

00:09:18this afternoon.

00:09:20Dr. Squires

00:09:20will show him

00:09:21the place

00:09:21and offer him

00:09:22the job.

00:09:23Have you said

00:09:23anything to killdare

00:09:24about it yet?

00:09:25No, in other words.

00:09:27But in justice

00:09:28to everybody,

00:09:29I'm going to do

00:09:30my best to make

00:09:31him accept.

00:09:32That's more

00:09:33than generous, Leonard.

00:09:34If you lose him,

00:09:35I know it'll be

00:09:36an awful blow to you.

00:09:37Blow?

00:09:38It'll be an earthquake.

00:09:43Well, since you're

00:09:44not going to take

00:09:45your hour off,

00:09:46am I right?

00:09:47and I want to

00:09:48talk to you anyway,

00:09:49let's go and dig

00:09:50our graves a little

00:09:51deeper with our teeth.

00:09:53Miss Parker,

00:09:54lunch.

00:09:56Grat that Molly bird.

00:09:58If I don't drink

00:09:59at least one glass

00:10:00of milk a day,

00:10:01she hides my cigarettes.

00:10:04Yeah.

00:10:05I know it's good for me,

00:10:08but I hate this stuff.

00:10:11Yeah.

00:10:17What made you

00:10:20hesitate about

00:10:21Grayson, Jimmy?

00:10:23For a moment,

00:10:24I wasn't sure.

00:10:25What made you decide?

00:10:27It was my best

00:10:28thought on the subject.

00:10:29That's the one

00:10:30most important thing

00:10:32for a doctor to know.

00:10:33To face situations

00:10:35with nothing to lean on

00:10:36but what he's learned.

00:10:39Yes, even in my

00:10:40short experience,

00:10:41there have been times

00:10:41when my blood

00:10:42ran cold.

00:10:43And yet you had

00:10:44to act like the

00:10:45Almighty,

00:10:45with life in one hand

00:10:47and death in the other.

00:10:48You had to do it

00:10:49and you did.

00:10:49That's what I call

00:10:50being a born doctor.

00:10:52Couldn't have learned

00:10:53that from you,

00:10:53could I?

00:10:54Mm-hmm.

00:10:55Aren't you going

00:10:56to drink your milk?

00:10:58Oh, sure, sure, sure.

00:11:00But don't try

00:11:02and change the subject

00:11:02on me.

00:11:04Jimmy,

00:11:05you'll make mistakes,

00:11:06but let them

00:11:07be your mistakes.

00:11:09Use your eyes,

00:11:10your heart,

00:11:11your brain,

00:11:12your instinct.

00:11:13Make up your mind

00:11:14and then go ahead.

00:11:17Good.

00:11:20Do you think

00:11:20I'll ever learn

00:11:21half what you know?

00:11:23Yeah,

00:11:24but you'll have to

00:11:24begin where I leave off.

00:11:27And do you think

00:11:28you're being fair to me,

00:11:29to yourself,

00:11:30to the medical profession?

00:11:32Well, what do you mean?

00:11:33You haven't seen

00:11:34Dr. Lockberg

00:11:35in two months.

00:11:36Why?

00:11:37Because I'm a good doctor

00:11:38and I know

00:11:39what's the matter with me.

00:11:41Cancer isn't

00:11:41necessarily hopeless.

00:11:42Well,

00:11:46every time

00:11:46I intend

00:11:47to call Lockberg

00:11:48up,

00:11:48something important

00:11:49turns up.

00:11:50Nothing is that important.

00:11:53Look,

00:11:54if I'm to finish

00:11:54any part

00:11:55of what you've started,

00:11:56you'll have to stay here

00:11:57and teach me

00:11:57as long as you can.

00:11:59All right, Jimmy.

00:12:00I'll call him

00:12:01this afternoon

00:12:02to come over.

00:12:03I already told him

00:12:04to be here

00:12:04at five o'clock.

00:12:06Why, you...

00:12:07Come on, come on,

00:12:08drink your milk.

00:12:08Come on.

00:12:09Come on.

00:12:10Come on.

00:12:11Come on.

00:12:12Come on.

00:12:13Come on.

00:12:14Come on.

00:12:15Come on.

00:12:16Come on.

00:12:17Come on.

00:12:18Come on.

00:12:19Come on.

00:12:20Come on.

00:12:21Come on.

00:12:22Well,

00:12:22the things people do

00:12:25for the sake

00:12:26of their health.

00:12:29Don't think

00:12:29you can hide

00:12:30from me,

00:12:31Dr. James Kildare.

00:12:32Look here,

00:12:33Marley Bird.

00:12:33This is my bedroom,

00:12:34and even the

00:12:35superintendent of nurses

00:12:36hasn't got any right

00:12:37to come barging in the...

00:12:39Oh, be quiet.

00:12:39Dr. Kildare,

00:12:41Nurse Morgan informs me

00:12:42that you supplied

00:12:43patient 1124

00:12:43with a new suit of clothes

00:12:45from the hospital

00:12:45emergency fund.

00:12:46Oh, yes, I did.

00:12:47But you see, Mr.

00:12:48I see everything.

00:12:50He had his own suit

00:12:50burned.

00:12:51I ordered...

00:12:51That suit burned

00:12:53as a public precaution.

00:12:54Oh, public precaution,

00:12:56my foot.

00:12:57Well, the man

00:12:57had nothing more contagious

00:12:58than a broken arm.

00:13:00I personally examined

00:13:01that suit of clothes

00:13:02and found definite

00:13:03traces of leprosy.

00:13:05leprosy.

00:13:08Leprosy?

00:13:09Bubonic plague,

00:13:10housemaid's knee,

00:13:11and a slight trace

00:13:12of Scandinavian hookworm.

00:13:15Scandinavian hookworm,

00:13:16you fool.

00:13:17Besides, Marley,

00:13:18there was a job

00:13:19waiting for him

00:13:19if he had

00:13:20a good suit of clothes.

00:13:23Leonard Gillespie,

00:13:24you haven't

00:13:24drunk your milk.

00:13:26Marley,

00:13:27no matter what else

00:13:28you can say about me,

00:13:29I'm a man of honor.

00:13:31I said I'd drink

00:13:32one glass of milk,

00:13:33and one glass of milk

00:13:35I drank.

00:13:36Give me my cigarettes,

00:13:38please.

00:13:38Then how is the bottle

00:13:39still full?

00:13:44You'll drink this glass

00:13:45of milk

00:13:46or no cigarettes

00:13:47today.

00:14:00Yeah.

00:14:02Now give me my cigarettes.

00:14:03Well, they're still

00:14:04in your pocket.

00:14:04I forgot to take them

00:14:05out this morning.

00:14:07What, friends?

00:14:09Well, you've been

00:14:09trying for 25 years

00:14:10to force somebody

00:14:11to take care of himself.

00:14:13It's a little hard

00:14:14to break the habit.

00:14:19Well, if you can get

00:14:19along without me

00:14:20for a while,

00:14:21supposing I run up

00:14:21and have a talk

00:14:22with Dr. Lane.

00:14:23I'm going to talk to you.

00:14:24I'm going to talk to you.

00:14:25bad shape.

00:14:25Let me know when Lane

00:14:27wants to talk to me.

00:14:28That's what I meant to do.

00:14:29And later in the afternoon,

00:14:30we're going for a drive

00:14:32in the country.

00:14:33Well, now you're beginning

00:14:33to act sensibly, sir.

00:14:35It'll do you a world of good.

00:14:37Maybe.

00:14:38I've ordered a nice big car

00:14:39so the three of us

00:14:41will be comfortable.

00:14:42Three of us?

00:14:42Uh-huh.

00:14:43You and me

00:14:44and nurse Mary Lamont.

00:14:47Yeah.

00:14:47Well, why not Mary Lamont?

00:14:49She isn't engaged

00:14:50to Dr. Lane

00:14:51even though she did

00:14:52go out with him last week.

00:14:54What do you expect her to do?

00:14:56Die an old maid

00:14:57because you only get

00:14:58$20 a month?

00:15:00I don't expect her

00:15:01to do anything of the sort.

00:15:03Well, Dr. Gillespie,

00:15:05I guess it's pretty obvious

00:15:06to you how I feel

00:15:07about Mary Lamont,

00:15:08but I can't

00:15:10and I won't say anything

00:15:11to her about it.

00:15:12After all,

00:15:13$20 a month

00:15:13is $20 a month.

00:15:15We're ready, Dr. Lane.

00:15:19Good, let's go then.

00:15:20I want to see you

00:15:21after this operation.

00:15:22Dr. Lane,

00:15:23a package arrived

00:15:24for me this morning.

00:15:25It contained a dozen pair

00:15:26of beautiful silk stockings.

00:15:28Silk stockings?

00:15:28Silk stockings.

00:15:30I'd send them back

00:15:30except for three things.

00:15:32I don't know

00:15:33where they came from.

00:15:34I can't prove you sent them.

00:15:36And besides,

00:15:36they're awfully pretty.

00:15:37I don't know a thing.

00:15:39But I'll admit anything

00:15:40if you'll have dinner

00:15:40with me tonight.

00:15:41All right, Greg.

00:15:43We'll celebrate

00:15:44a successful operation.

00:15:46I need a successful operation.

00:15:48Oh, it's only the fools

00:15:49who are talking.

00:15:50Anyone knows mortality

00:15:51and brain surgery is high.

00:15:53Yeah, but you can't explain

00:15:54that to a dead patient.

00:15:56Dr. Gillespie

00:15:56still believes in you.

00:15:57You're operating

00:15:58on his patient, aren't you?

00:16:00I still believe

00:16:01in myself, Mary.

00:16:02But this time

00:16:03I've got to...

00:16:05We've got an operation

00:16:07to do.

00:16:07Come on, Nurse Lamont.

00:16:10How are you feeling,

00:16:11Mr. Grayson?

00:16:11Sleepy.

00:16:15That's from your shot

00:16:16in the arm.

00:16:17I'm going to do my best

00:16:18to fix you up

00:16:19as good as new.

00:16:19I'm going to do my best

00:16:20to fix you up

00:16:20as good as new.

00:17:21Adrenaline.

00:17:25Hurry.

00:17:39Never mind the adrenaline.

00:17:41Never mind.

00:18:11Mary.

00:18:12Jimmy, do you have a cigarette?

00:18:13Oh, Mary.

00:18:14Please, Jimmy, give me a cigarette.

00:18:18Why?

00:18:19By the way, Dr. Gillespie wants you and me to...

00:18:27Thanks, Mary.

00:18:32Dr. Lane, I was in the gallery and I...

00:18:36The operation was a success, but the patient died.

00:18:38Mary.

00:18:49Mary.

00:18:49They're so new, aren't they?

00:19:00Just off the assembly line this morning.

00:19:02Forty-one brand new lives.

00:19:05Thought it evens things up, doesn't it?

00:19:07You mean about life and death?

00:19:08Hmm.

00:19:09I didn't think about it that way.

00:19:11I just happened to come here.

00:19:13Well, your instincts were right.

00:19:14It's the best place you could have come to.

00:19:16This is what it's really all about.

00:19:19Jimmy, Dr. Lane did everything he could.

00:19:22No one could have done anymore, could he?

00:19:23No one.

00:19:25You see, Mary, I prescribed an operation.

00:19:27Lane agreed and performed it.

00:19:29We both knew how...

00:19:30How slim the chances were.

00:19:33That's our job.

00:19:34It's one of the hardest things we have to learn.

00:19:37I haven't learned it yet.

00:19:39Neither have I.

00:19:43That's what people need.

00:19:44Pure, sweet air to fill your lungs with.

00:19:48And open up your pores to the sunshine.

00:19:51What's the matter with you, Mary?

00:19:53You look as if you hadn't opened a pore for months.

00:19:56I did surgery today under Dr. Lane.

00:19:59Oh, Mary, that patient had one chance in a hundred

00:20:01of living through the operation.

00:20:03One chance in a million of living without it.

00:20:06You're absolutely right.

00:20:07I reported that fact to Carew, too.

00:20:09What did Dr. Carew say?

00:20:11Well, what could he say?

00:20:13Too many people dying.

00:20:14Dr. Gillespie, Greg needs help.

00:20:17Dr. Lane, I mean.

00:20:20You're right, Mary.

00:20:21Something ought to be done about it.

00:20:23Isn't anybody interested in where we're going?

00:20:27We're going to the Messenger Institute at the university.

00:20:31Who told you?

00:20:32It wasn't me, Dr. Gillespie.

00:20:35I suppose you told him why, too.

00:20:38No, sir.

00:20:39I didn't know that.

00:20:41Well, then I'll tell you.

00:20:43We're going to the Messenger Institute for Medical Research

00:20:46because I've got business there.

00:20:48And I'm taking you two along for the ride.

00:20:51Of Mr. Messenger's open-handed generosity,

00:21:02this building with its magnificent equipment

00:21:04is a shining example.

00:21:05Now, listen, Egghead.

00:21:07The eminent and imposing Dr. Squires

00:21:11was known as Egghead in medical school,

00:21:14for reasons you're both too young to know.

00:21:17Leonard,

00:21:18I once busted you in the snoop for that,

00:21:20and I'm just the guy who can do it again.

00:21:21Now, listen here, Squires.

00:21:23We all know this is the finest institute in America,

00:21:26but come to the point.

00:21:29Very well.

00:21:30The point is,

00:21:31I have a job for Dr. Gildare.

00:21:34Job for me?

00:21:35If it hadn't been for me,

00:21:37it'd taken him two hours to tell you that.

00:21:40Dr. Gildare,

00:21:42Mr. Messenger feels that he owes to you

00:21:43his daughter's sanity,

00:21:45perhaps her life.

00:21:46Yours was a remarkable instance

00:21:48of correct diagnosis and treatment.

00:21:50I congratulate you.

00:21:51Well, tell him the job pays $500 a month.

00:21:53$500 a month?

00:21:54And you'll have a free hand here

00:21:57to pursue whatever research you choose.

00:21:59And if you tend to your knitting,

00:22:01when you're an old married man,

00:22:02you'll inherit Egghead's job.

00:22:04$20,000 a year.

00:22:05That ain't hay.

00:22:09Well, why don't you say something?

00:22:11Don't stand there like a bump on a log.

00:22:15Well, it's the sort of thing you dream about.

00:22:20Dr. Gillespie,

00:22:21you knew all about this?

00:22:22That means you want me to take it?

00:22:25Oh, I wanted to take it.

00:22:26You hear that, Egghead?

00:22:28These youngsters are hard to please.

00:22:31Show them the house that goes with the job.

00:22:33House?

00:22:34Oh, yes.

00:22:35Shall we go see it?

00:22:36I've ordered some tea.

00:22:37Tea.

00:22:39When I first knew him,

00:22:41he thought clean shirts were effeminate.

00:22:44Now he drinks tea.

00:22:46It's Mr. Messinger's idea

00:22:51that a man does his best work

00:22:53when his home surroundings are ideal.

00:22:56Thank you, George.

00:22:58You think you could be happy here, Dr. Gildare?

00:23:00Happy?

00:23:01Well, he'd be crazy if he couldn't.

00:23:03Well, you show around, Jimmy.

00:23:05It's your party, you know.

00:23:06I feel a little tired.

00:23:08I think I'll stay here

00:23:11and have a spot of tea with Dr. Squires.

00:23:14Maybe a crumpet or two.

00:23:19Well, Egghead, how am I doing?

00:23:21If I hadn't known differently,

00:23:23I'd have thought you really wanted him to take the job.

00:23:25This is the greatest opportunity

00:23:27Jimmy will ever have in his life.

00:23:29And if he takes it,

00:23:30all I've planned

00:23:32will come tumbling down around my ears.

00:23:34All jokes aside, Lennon,

00:23:38won't you have a cup of tea?

00:23:40Suppose I get you a glass of milk.

00:23:42Milk?

00:23:42Yeah.

00:23:43I'm so full of milk now

00:23:45I'd be afraid to meet a cat.

00:23:50Isn't it lovely?

00:23:51Well, this isn't true.

00:23:52This sort of thing doesn't happen.

00:23:55But it is true.

00:23:56You have everything in the world ahead of you.

00:23:58I wonder.

00:24:00Dr. Gillespie wants you to take it, doesn't he?

00:24:02Does he?

00:24:03He even bragged about the salary.

00:24:05You remember that.

00:24:06Oh, right now,

00:24:06I'm not thinking about the money.

00:24:08But you must think about it.

00:24:09It's your future, your whole life.

00:24:12Who was it that wanted you to see this house?

00:24:15It was Dr. Gillespie, wasn't it?

00:24:16Yes, Mary.

00:24:18He even talked about the future.

00:24:19That's what he said.

00:24:21I wish I knew what he was thinking.

00:24:25Well,

00:24:26shall we look at the living room?

00:24:29Mary,

00:24:30do you have dinner with me tonight?

00:24:31I've got a date.

00:24:34I'll get out of it, Jimmy.

00:24:36Hey,

00:24:37break it up, you two.

00:24:41Dr. Kildare,

00:24:42I think we'll be ready for you to move in,

00:24:44say, next Monday.

00:24:45You're very kind, Dr. Squires.

00:24:47Mr. Messinger's generosity is tremendous,

00:24:50but

00:24:50I'm afraid I'll have to think it over

00:24:53and let you know.

00:24:54Oh, of course, Dr. Kildare.

00:24:57Think it over.

00:24:58Will you have a cup of tea?

00:25:01Say, egghead,

00:25:02I think I'll take that milk now.

00:25:04Good evening, Dr. Kildare.

00:25:17You're a sight for sore eyes,

00:25:19and why shouldn't you be?

00:25:20Sure is clear, Mike.

00:25:21Yes, siree.

00:25:21Sure, and what more pleasant sight

00:25:23could there be

00:25:23than a fine young son

00:25:24of the old new suit

00:25:25and his old teeth

00:25:26stepping up

00:25:27to buy himself a good drink?

00:25:29How are you, Joe?

00:25:30Good evening, Doc.

00:25:32It'll be 30 bucks

00:25:33any way you figure it.

00:25:35A joint that gets

00:25:36two dollars for soup

00:25:37has got to get more than a nickel

00:25:38for a cup of coffee.

00:25:39Say, I got it.

00:25:43When we get to the golden slipper,

00:25:45I just won't eat anything.

00:25:47That'll give me a dollar-sixty margin.

00:25:49Golden slipper?

00:25:50Well, even if you don't eat,

00:25:51the cover charge there

00:25:52is five dollars a head.

00:25:54Huh?

00:25:56Five dollars a head?

00:25:58Even for not eating?

00:26:00Boys, there must be

00:26:02some way out of this.

00:26:03Joe, my boy,

00:26:04maybe I can help you.

00:26:05There's a drink I can mix

00:26:06that'll solve all your troubles.

00:26:07If you can only coax the lady

00:26:08and to sample it...

00:26:09Ah, wait a minute, Mike.

00:26:11Now, Dr. Kildare,

00:26:12I'm referring to

00:26:13a humble little concoction

00:26:14known as

00:26:14the Kiss of Kilkenny.

00:26:16It don't make you drunk

00:26:17and it don't make you dizzy.

00:26:19It leaves you

00:26:19with one consuming thought

00:26:20in your mind

00:26:21to sit quiet in your chair

00:26:23and listen to the angels sing.

00:26:25Will it keep a lady

00:26:26sitting here all evening?

00:26:28My friend back

00:26:29in County Donegal,

00:26:30I personally concocted one

00:26:32for a giddy young thing

00:26:33who wanted to be took

00:26:34to a dance.

00:26:35How long did it

00:26:36keep her quiet, Mike?

00:26:37Well, sir,

00:26:38that was 13 years ago

00:26:39come Shrove Tuesday.

00:26:41And according to a letter

00:26:42I received last week,

00:26:43she's still sitting there.

00:26:45Say, I know this gal of mine.

00:26:46You fix up two drinks for her

00:26:47and I'll be back here

00:26:48in a jiffy with her.

00:26:53What do you advise

00:26:53for dinner, Mike?

00:26:55Well, I can fix you

00:26:56a steak as fresh

00:26:56as a new policeman.

00:26:59Two steaks medium rare.

00:27:01Coming up.

00:27:02Two steaks medium rare

00:27:03for Dr. Kildare.

00:27:05Give him the two.

00:27:06We're saving for the boss.

00:27:08Hello, Mary.

00:27:09Am I late, Jimmy?

00:27:10Now, sit down.

00:27:12I've already ordered the steaks.

00:27:14Are you hungry?

00:27:15Star, good.

00:27:19Mary,

00:27:20did I ever tell you

00:27:21what my mother said to me

00:27:22when I left for New York?

00:27:23Several things.

00:27:24Which one?

00:27:25Well, she said

00:27:26you'll never get anywhere

00:27:27trying to be anybody

00:27:29but Jimmy Kildare.

00:27:31Jimmy Kildare

00:27:32is all right with me.

00:27:36Over the past hour

00:27:37I've been trying

00:27:37to be someone else.

00:27:39Why, Jimmy?

00:27:41Because

00:27:41if I were someone else

00:27:43maybe I'd have brains

00:27:44enough to say this

00:27:45in a different way.

00:27:48Say it your own way.

00:27:52I'm not going to take the job

00:27:53at the Messenger Institute.

00:27:59Miss Lamont,

00:28:05report to Superintendent

00:28:05Byrd's office right away.

00:28:11Tony,

00:28:12if we had a patient

00:28:13in this hospital

00:28:14as weak as your coffee

00:28:15we'd give him a blood transfusion

00:28:16and send for his relatives.

00:28:18I don't blame the nurses

00:28:19for squawking.

00:28:20Nurses are just like husbands.

00:28:22You can abuse them,

00:28:23insult them,

00:28:23work them to death,

00:28:24jump all over them

00:28:25and they'll take it.

00:28:25But give them a bad cup of coffee

00:28:27and you've got a revolution

00:28:28on your hands.

00:28:29Oh, come in, Mary.

00:28:31I'll be down

00:28:32at the kitchen

00:28:32in ten minutes

00:28:33and show you

00:28:34how to make coffee.

00:28:37You sent for me,

00:28:38Miss Bird?

00:28:40Lamont,

00:28:40I'm promoting you

00:28:41to staff surgical nurse

00:28:42permanently.

00:28:45Wait a minute,

00:28:46it's not that big an honor.

00:28:49I'm sorry, Miss Bird.

00:28:50Of course,

00:28:51you'll have to be more careful

00:28:52about our rules.

00:28:53For instance,

00:28:54I know that you accepted

00:28:55some silk stockings

00:28:56for a member of our staff.

00:28:58I'm sorry.

00:28:59I'll send them back.

00:29:01Hmm.

00:29:02Before okaying this promotion,

00:29:04I must know that you plan

00:29:05on staying with this institution.

00:29:07I guess I'll be here forever.

00:29:09Because I certainly

00:29:10would not give this chance

00:29:11to a girl who's liable

00:29:12to quit her job

00:29:12to get married or something.

00:29:15I'm not figuring

00:29:16on getting married.

00:29:18No.

00:29:19No, child.

00:29:20I don't know why

00:29:22I'm so silly.

00:29:23Well, I know.

00:29:25I warmed it out

00:29:26of Dr. Gillespie

00:29:27about Jimmy Kildare

00:29:28and the Messenger Institute,

00:29:29and this can only mean

00:29:31that he didn't decide

00:29:33the way you wanted him to.

00:29:35I kept hoping against hope.

00:29:38The only man in the world?

00:29:41It's not true, Mary.

00:29:43It's never true.

00:29:44If it were,

00:29:45nine out of ten women

00:29:47in this world

00:29:47would never get married.

00:29:49And we women

00:29:50can be thankful

00:29:51that fate fixed it that way.

00:29:53Because

00:29:54so many times,

00:29:56so pitifully many times,

00:29:59Cinderella can't

00:29:59have her prince.

00:30:01And if there were

00:30:02no other man

00:30:02in the world for her,

00:30:04how would the Cinderellas

00:30:05end up?

00:30:07Like me, Mary.

00:30:09I'm 49 years old,

00:30:12and what have I got in life?

00:30:14Bad coffee.

00:30:17No, Mary.

00:30:18Give any woman

00:30:19a decent husband

00:30:20with a clean shave

00:30:21and a pretty good chance

00:30:22of getting on in this world,

00:30:23and she'll come so close

00:30:25to thinking his love

00:30:27that she'll fool him

00:30:29and herself.

00:30:30I never thought

00:30:31about it like that.

00:30:33Well, try thinking that way.

00:30:34And stop eating

00:30:36your heart out.

00:30:38Now get out of the mouth

00:30:39and get to bed.

00:30:40Report to surgery

00:30:40at 9 a.m.

00:30:41Good night.

00:30:43I said good night.

00:30:45Good night, Mr. Bird.

00:30:47Mary,

00:30:48don't send back

00:30:49those stockings.

00:30:51I can't.

00:30:52I have one pair on.

00:31:00Hello?

00:31:01Superintendent Bird speaking.

00:31:03Beginning tomorrow morning,

00:31:04Nurse Mary Lamont

00:31:05starts a staff surgical nurse.

00:31:06Salary increase accordingly.

00:31:08She is to be assigned

00:31:09to Dr. Gregory Lane.

00:31:18If that's you,

00:31:20Nosy Parker,

00:31:21I'm taking a bath.

00:31:22If it's you,

00:31:24Molly Bird,

00:31:24I'm not smoking a cigarette.

00:31:27Anyone else

00:31:28can go shoot themselves.

00:31:30It's me.

00:31:31What do you mean,

00:31:32barging in here

00:31:33at 3 or 4 o'clock

00:31:34in the morning?

00:31:35What do you think

00:31:36this is,

00:31:36a six-day bicycle race?

00:31:38It's only a quarter

00:31:38after ten.

00:31:40What do you want

00:31:41in the middle of the night?

00:31:43I'm not going to

00:31:44take the messenger job.

00:31:45Why,

00:31:45you unmitigated

00:31:47young

00:31:47upstart.

00:31:49Do you realize,

00:31:50Jimmy,

00:31:50you'll never have

00:31:51another opportunity

00:31:52like that

00:31:53as long as you live?

00:31:54I'm staying here

00:31:55because I'm selfish.

00:31:57Ever since I was a kid,

00:31:58I've known I wanted

00:31:59to be some kind

00:32:00of a doctor,

00:32:00but I didn't know

00:32:01what or where.

00:32:02Now I do know.

00:32:04I want to be

00:32:05a diagnostician,

00:32:06and you're the only one

00:32:07that can teach me.

00:32:08Jimmy,

00:32:09I'm the happiest guy

00:32:10in the city.

00:32:11As a matter of fact,

00:32:12I've been sitting

00:32:13right here

00:32:13since 6 o'clock

00:32:14waiting for you

00:32:15to come in

00:32:15to tell me your decision.

00:32:17I'm sorry,

00:32:18I've been a little fizzy.

00:32:20None too pleasantly,

00:32:21maybe,

00:32:22you know.

00:32:23Well,

00:32:23I've got a note

00:32:25from Carew's office.

00:32:27Seems I'm behind

00:32:28in my surgery,

00:32:28and they want me

00:32:29to catch up right away.

00:32:30Do you mind

00:32:31if I borrow the...

00:32:32No, don't take

00:32:33anything you want,

00:32:33Jimmy.

00:32:34Yes,

00:32:35he's been raising

00:32:35change with me

00:32:36about that, too.

00:32:37Yes,

00:32:38I'm to start

00:32:38tomorrow morning

00:32:39assisting Dr. Lane.

00:32:41Well,

00:32:42perhaps I could arrange

00:32:43to have you transferred

00:32:44to someone else.

00:32:47No, no,

00:32:47no thanks.

00:32:48Say,

00:32:48what's the matter

00:32:49with this fellow Lane,

00:32:50anyway?

00:32:51I've heard he inherited

00:32:52a lot of money,

00:32:53and yet he wants

00:32:54to stick around

00:32:55this skating rink.

00:32:56No, no,

00:32:56that's not true.

00:32:57He's had money

00:32:57all his life,

00:32:58but he happens

00:32:58to want to be a surgeon.

00:33:00He also happens

00:33:01to be interested

00:33:02in Mary Lamont,

00:33:03or I'll fire

00:33:04three or four

00:33:05of my bed stooges.

00:33:06Isn't that

00:33:06Mary Lamont's business?

00:33:08You have no regrets

00:33:08about that, Jimmy?

00:33:10Dr. Gillespie,

00:33:11if I've told you

00:33:11once,

00:33:12I've told you

00:33:12five times

00:33:13that Mary Lamont...

00:33:13All right,

00:33:14all right,

00:33:15all right,

00:33:15don't bite my head off.

00:33:18Furthermore,

00:33:19Dr. Gillespie,

00:33:20it's past your bedtime.

00:33:22All right, Papa.

00:33:23I'll go to bed

00:33:24like a good boy,

00:33:26and I'll be kind

00:33:26to dumb animals,

00:33:27and I'll wash

00:33:28behind the ears.

00:33:30Say,

00:33:30who do you think

00:33:31you are,

00:33:32Molly Bird

00:33:32and Long Pants?

00:33:35Blair General Hospital,

00:33:37emergency.

00:33:37Just a minute.

00:33:38Hello, Irene.

00:33:41As I was saying,

00:33:42last night,

00:33:43Joe Wayman and me

00:33:43start.

00:33:44Me and that

00:33:45new blue chiffon,

00:33:46and Joe,

00:33:46mind you,

00:33:46he's actually

00:33:47in a tuxedo,

00:33:49when all of a sudden

00:33:50I find I'm paralyzed

00:33:51from the waist down.

00:33:53No,

00:33:53I didn't touch a drop.

00:33:55Just one little

00:33:56glass of Irish lemonade

00:33:56in Mike Ryan's place.

00:33:58But was Joe Wayman nice?

00:34:00He never said

00:34:00one word about me

00:34:01spoiling his evening.

00:34:03Not the accident.

00:34:05Emergency.

00:34:06Emergency.

00:34:07One coming up.

00:34:08Funny thing.

00:34:09No identification.

00:34:10Nothing but a key

00:34:11and a five dollar bill.

00:34:12Did you go through

00:34:13all his pockets?

00:34:13What pockets?

00:34:14All he had on

00:34:15was an overcoat

00:34:15over some pajamas

00:34:16and a pair of pants.

00:34:18You know, Sally,

00:34:19I got it all figured out

00:34:20what was the matter

00:34:21with you last night.

00:34:22It was something

00:34:22you drank the night before

00:34:24with that guy

00:34:24from Pittsburgh.

00:34:25I'll bet it was.

00:34:26But gee, Joe,

00:34:27you were so sweet.

00:34:29Carrying me home

00:34:30and singing like an angel

00:34:31all the way.

00:34:39This is Surgery B.

00:34:40One coming up?

00:34:42Okay.

00:34:43There's a case

00:34:44coming up from emergency.

00:34:48Good morning, Doctor.

00:34:49Oh, good morning, Doctor.

00:34:51I'm assisting you.

00:34:52I have some surgery

00:34:52to catch up on.

00:34:53I'm glad to have you.

00:34:54I had some pretty

00:34:56unkind thoughts about you

00:34:57last night, Kildare.

00:34:58Last night?

00:34:59Yes, I had a date

00:35:00with a very pretty girl

00:35:01for dinner

00:35:02right up to dinner time.

00:35:03Oh, I'm sorry.

00:35:05Maybe you are,

00:35:05but I still had dinner alone.

00:35:07Well, it's nice

00:35:08having you around.

00:35:09I can keep my eye on you.

00:35:12Here's the x-ray, Doctor.

00:35:14Increasing intratranial pressure,

00:35:15false slowing,

00:35:16temperature rising.

00:35:22We'll, uh,

00:35:23we'll have to operate

00:35:25to save his life.

00:35:27I'll get him set.

00:35:30What day is this?

00:35:32What day is this?

00:35:33Wednesday.

00:35:35Wednesday?

00:35:36Good.

00:35:37I thought for a moment

00:35:38I'd miss it.

00:35:39Missed what?

00:35:40Friday.

00:35:40Friday noon.

00:35:42I've got to...

00:35:44Now, look,

00:35:45you have a head injury.

00:35:46A skull fracture,

00:35:47and I'm afraid

00:35:47we'll have to operate.

00:35:49Operate?

00:35:51What's this for?

00:35:52It's to help you rest,

00:35:54to quiet your nerves.

00:35:56How bad is my hip?

00:36:01Why don't you just

00:36:02put yourself in our hands?

00:36:03We'll do everything

00:36:04that possibly can be done.

00:36:05You mean I might die?

00:36:07With an immediate operation,

00:36:08you have a very good chance

00:36:09of pulling through.

00:36:10I won't be operated on.

00:36:11I've got to get out.

00:36:12If you get up now,

00:36:13you may not live

00:36:14to reach the street.

00:36:15That's five years of dying.

00:36:18I won't be operated on.

00:36:20You want to live,

00:36:21don't you?

00:36:22No, if I couldn't die now,

00:36:23I've got to live till Friday.

00:36:25What about Friday?

00:36:27Who are you?

00:36:29What's your name?

00:36:30Perhaps we can help?

00:36:31How could you tell?

00:36:32Well, it's a hot strong anyway.

00:36:44I'll tell him to get ready.

00:36:46Wait a minute.

00:36:53Maybe we'd better put him

00:36:54under observation

00:36:54for a couple of days.

00:36:55What?

00:36:56Why, he needs

00:36:57an immediate operation

00:36:58and you know it.

00:36:58No, I don't.

00:36:59I'm not sure.

00:37:00How can I be sure

00:37:01when Grayson and the others...

00:37:03I don't know what to do, Kildare.

00:37:05Do what your own judgment

00:37:06told you to do

00:37:07in the first place.

00:37:08Operate.

00:37:09But my judgment's been wrong.

00:37:11Not in Dr. Gillespie's opinion.

00:37:13Dr. Gillespie?

00:37:14Yes, he thinks

00:37:15you're a fine surgeon.

00:37:17Says you have the best hands

00:37:18in the hospital.

00:37:19He said something else, too.

00:37:21He said there are times

00:37:22when we have to act

00:37:23with life in one hand

00:37:24and death in the other.

00:37:25And that the true test

00:37:26of a doctor

00:37:27is his faith

00:37:27in his own judgment

00:37:28and even though he knows

00:37:29someone's going to die

00:37:30if he's wrong.

00:37:33We'll operate immediately.

00:37:40This patient has refused

00:37:41the operation

00:37:41but I take full responsibility.

00:37:55that's it.

00:38:12Take him away.

00:38:15How's the pressure?

00:38:16Fine.

00:38:16I don't think I could have done that

00:38:27without those words you said.

00:38:28Oh, you did a fine job, doctor.

00:38:30Thanks.

00:38:30As far as I'm concerned

00:38:31everything's going to be all right

00:38:32I think from now on.

00:38:33I'm sure it is.

00:38:34It's a long session.

00:38:36Well, it's time for lunch.

00:38:37I'm on office call this afternoon.

00:38:39Nine o'clock tomorrow morning,

00:38:40please, doctor.

00:38:40Yes, doctor.

00:38:41It was a beautiful operation, doctor.

00:38:43Maybe now we'll have

00:38:44something to celebrate.

00:38:45Let's.

00:38:46Tonight?

00:38:47All right.

00:38:48It's rough.

00:38:54Dr. Gildare.

00:38:56Yes, Dr. Crewe.

00:38:57I'm very pleased

00:38:57you've decided to remain with us.

00:38:59No, no, no explanations are necessary.

00:39:01I understand.

00:39:02Where's Dr. Lane?

00:39:03Oh, he's just left for lunch.

00:39:04Wish you'd been there.

00:39:05You'd have seen the kind

00:39:06of brain surgery you read about.

00:39:07Is that so?

00:39:08Well, I trust you're right.

00:39:10Doctor, because of the

00:39:11somewhat unusual circumstances

00:39:13I'd like to have your

00:39:14personal report on this case.

00:39:15Well, Dr. Lane has office duty

00:39:17so naturally I'll be watching you.

00:39:18Very good.

00:39:23He's coming out of it now.

00:39:25Breathing easily and naturally.

00:39:27Mm-hmm.

00:39:40What day is it?

00:39:42What day of the week?

00:39:43It's Thursday.

00:39:45Thursday?

00:39:46Not Friday.

00:39:47No, it's Thursday.

00:39:49You've put me in the wrong day.

00:39:52The wrong day of the week.

00:39:53Easy there.

00:39:54It's the wrong day.

00:39:56Friday's the day I want.

00:39:58Well, tomorrow will be Friday.

00:40:00You can't trick me.

00:40:02It'll always be Thursday.

00:40:04You've locked me up

00:40:04in the wrong day of the week.

00:40:06Careful now.

00:40:08Got to break through.

00:40:10Got to break through to Friday.

00:40:13Get me a hypomorphine

00:40:14and restraining sheet

00:40:15and restraining sheet quickly.

00:40:16There isn't the time

00:40:17to break through yet.

00:40:18I'll tell you

00:40:19when the right time comes.

00:40:21You'll tell me?

00:40:22Yes, I promise.

00:40:23We'll start planning right now.

00:40:25If you lie still

00:40:26and help save your strength.

00:40:28Who are they?

00:40:29Oh, they're going to help us plan.

00:40:32Yeah, now I'd better give you this.

00:40:34You'll need all the strength

00:40:35you can get.

00:40:36Close your eyes.

00:40:37That's it.

00:40:42Get that restraining sheet

00:40:43on him quickly.

00:40:46Doctor?

00:40:47What's wrong?

00:40:48There's some mental disturbance.

00:40:50I had to give him a hypo.

00:40:53Couldn't it be the effect

00:40:54of the anesthetic?

00:40:55I'm afraid there's no doubt.

00:40:56His mind's gone.

00:40:59But if you hadn't operated,

00:41:00he'd be dead now.

00:41:01His brain's dead.

00:41:02What good if the rest of him's alive?

00:41:06You were there, killed there.

00:41:07You saw everything.

00:41:07I didn't make a single mistake, did I?

00:41:09Not one.

00:41:09Well, and how's the patient?

00:41:11Well, it's a restraining sheet.

00:41:12Yes, I thought it was wise.

00:41:14The patient showed signs

00:41:15of becoming violent.

00:41:16Violent?

00:41:19Doctor Lane, what is this?

00:41:20Do you mean to say

00:41:21that your patient has lost his mind?

00:41:23Apparently.

00:41:24Doctor Lane wasn't here

00:41:25when the patient recovered consciousness.

00:41:26But you had the patient restrained.

00:41:28Because in your opinion,

00:41:29he's now deranged.

00:41:31Yes.

00:41:31I see.

00:41:32Doctor Lane,

00:41:33remove your patient

00:41:34to a private room.

00:41:35It's the least we can do.

00:41:37Then I'll see you in my office.

00:41:39Doctor Koo,

00:41:39you'll want me there too,

00:41:40won't you?

00:41:41No.

00:41:41This is Doctor Lane's

00:41:42responsibility only.

00:41:43Well, nevertheless,

00:41:44I'd like to be there.

00:41:46Don't stick your neck out,

00:41:47killed there.

00:41:48It's my neck.

00:41:49Doctor Lane,

00:41:50I freely concede

00:41:51that a doctor constantly

00:41:52has to make decisions.

00:41:53To operate

00:41:54or not to operate.

00:41:55But also,

00:41:56he must be right

00:41:57when he makes those decisions.

00:41:59Otherwise, we...

00:42:00Wait a minute!

00:42:01I'm in on this.

00:42:02What have I missed?

00:42:04I just left your patient.

00:42:06He's as mad as a March Hare.

00:42:08What were you saying,

00:42:09Carew?

00:42:09Doctor Lane

00:42:10has made one too many mistakes.

00:42:11Doctor Gillespie,

00:42:12I was just saying

00:42:13that in this last case,

00:42:14I urged Doctor Lane

00:42:15to operate.

00:42:16I hesitated a moment,

00:42:17but the decision

00:42:17to operate was my own.

00:42:19Well, then why's Kildare

00:42:20on the carpet?

00:42:20He isn't.

00:42:21He insisted on being present.

00:42:23Look,

00:42:23let me settle this thing

00:42:24once and for all.

00:42:25I decided to operate,

00:42:27and in a similar case,

00:42:27I'd do it again.

00:42:28Good.

00:42:29Now we know where we stay.

00:42:30Right.

00:42:31Doctor Lane,

00:42:32errors of judgment

00:42:33are difficult to prove.

00:42:34But in this case,

00:42:35you also performed

00:42:36the operation

00:42:36without the patient's permission,

00:42:38violating his legal right.

00:42:39His legal right to die?

00:42:41If you please,

00:42:42Doctor Gillespie.

00:42:43You, Doctor Lane,

00:42:44have placed this institution

00:42:45in a very serious position.

00:42:48You're suspended from duty,

00:42:49pending a hearing

00:42:50before the hospital board

00:42:51tomorrow, Friday at noon.

00:42:53I'm sorry.

00:42:54You may go.

00:42:56Dr. Carew,

00:43:00I'd like your permission

00:43:01to testify at that board meeting.

00:43:02I can't permit that.

00:43:04And how could you possibly

00:43:05help Dr. Lane?

00:43:06Well,

00:43:07I don't know.

00:43:08He don't know.

00:43:10He wants to prove

00:43:11the operation

00:43:11didn't make the patient insane,

00:43:13but he don't know

00:43:14how to do it.

00:43:15Come on, Jimmy.

00:43:16Now, wait a minute.

00:43:18Suppose the man was

00:43:19insane before the operation.

00:43:21Suppose, for instance,

00:43:22he was suffering

00:43:22from schizophrenia.

00:43:23Oh, puppy cock.

00:43:25I don't think

00:43:26the hospital board

00:43:27would be interested

00:43:28in your theories.

00:43:29Your request is denied.

00:43:30But after he came out

00:43:32of the anesthetic,

00:43:32he spoke incoherently

00:43:33of Friday.

00:43:35And before the operation,

00:43:36he made it very plain

00:43:37that Friday was more important

00:43:38to him than living.

00:43:39Now, he's a psychiatrist.

00:43:42If you concern yourself

00:43:43further in this case,

00:43:45neither of us

00:43:45can save you

00:43:46from the unpleasant

00:43:46medical and criminal consequences.

00:43:48Till there,

00:43:49you seem to forget

00:43:50one thing.

00:43:51Dr. Lane went ahead

00:43:53after the patient

00:43:54had refused the operation.

00:43:55But if the man was insane,

00:43:57he had no legal right

00:43:58to refuse the operation,

00:43:59which left the decision

00:44:00up to the doctor.

00:44:02Now, he's a lawyer.

00:44:05I consider the matter

00:44:06settled, Dr. Kildare.

00:44:08Which is the way

00:44:09a high-class gentleman says,

00:44:10get out of my office

00:44:11and mind your own business.

00:44:13Come on, Jim.

00:44:14Can you get along

00:44:18without me

00:44:19for the rest of the day?

00:44:20Oh, I guess so.

00:44:22It might be a good idea

00:44:24going out

00:44:25and taking a show

00:44:26and forget all about

00:44:27this little difficulty.

00:44:29I don't think it's so little.

00:44:30Maybe I haven't been here

00:44:31long enough

00:44:31to get the hospital viewpoint,

00:44:33but if Lane's kicked out,

00:44:34it'll look as though

00:44:35he murdered those patients.

00:44:36And we know he didn't.

00:44:38Are you going back

00:44:39to your office?

00:44:39No, I'm not.

00:44:40Get your hands

00:44:40off my chair.

00:44:41Oh, I'm sorry.

00:44:43I'll see you tomorrow.

00:44:44Where are you going?

00:44:45I don't know.

00:44:45Maybe I'm going to

00:44:46make a fool of myself.

00:44:47I don't doubt that,

00:44:48but how?

00:44:49I'm going to find out

00:44:50who this mysterious man is

00:44:52so that I can prove

00:44:53he was mentally deranged

00:44:54before Lane operated.

00:44:56Now, he's a detective.

00:44:58Listen, Sherlock Holmes,

00:45:00there are seven million

00:45:01people in this town.

00:45:02How do you expect

00:45:03to track down

00:45:04the identity

00:45:04of one unknown lunatic?

00:45:07If you get yourself

00:45:08tangled up

00:45:09in this Lane affair,

00:45:10you might as well

00:45:11hunt yourself a new job

00:45:12because I need

00:45:14an assistant

00:45:14that works for me.

00:45:16Now, play that

00:45:17on your harmonica.

00:45:21Walter, you're

00:45:22a great man.

00:45:23A magnificent man

00:45:25to head this hospital,

00:45:26but you don't know

00:45:27any more about

00:45:28handling Jimmy Kildare

00:45:29than I do.

00:45:32I'm upset myself.

00:45:33I'd hate to have

00:45:34to do this

00:45:34to a nice young

00:45:35fellow like Lane.

00:45:36In the old days,

00:45:37they used to draw

00:45:38and quarter them

00:45:39and nail up

00:45:40their heads

00:45:40on London Bridge.

00:45:41Today, we're not

00:45:42that merciful.

00:45:43When they kick

00:45:43over the traces,

00:45:44we have to throw them

00:45:45out and let them

00:45:46die of broken hearts.

00:45:48Listen, Mr. Gustogerson,

00:45:50you may be a big man

00:45:51in Pittsburgh,

00:45:52but you're no gentleman,

00:45:53you, you,

00:45:54you gorilla.

00:45:55You take a girl out

00:45:56and fill her full

00:45:57of fancy soup

00:45:57and poisoned champagne

00:45:58and the next night

00:45:59I can't move a muscle.

00:46:01Oh, I'm all right today.

00:46:03No thanks to you.

00:46:04But from now on,

00:46:05I'm sticking to

00:46:05hamburger and lemonade

00:46:06with a square-shooting guy

00:46:07that wouldn't even think

00:46:08of playing a dirty trick

00:46:09on a working girl.

00:46:10Goodbye, rat.

00:46:13Emergency.

00:46:14No, I haven't seen

00:46:15Dr. Kildare for an hour.

00:46:17He went out of here

00:46:17in his street clothes,

00:46:18said he was off

00:46:18for the day.

00:46:20Sure, if I see him,

00:46:21I'll tell him.

00:46:27Sullivan's Cafe.

00:46:29No, Sally,

00:46:29Dr. Kildare is not here,

00:46:31but we're expecting

00:46:31him immediately.

00:46:34Sure, I'll give him

00:46:35your message.

00:46:36Hello, hello.

00:46:37Sally, Sally,

00:46:37here's the doctor.

00:46:38Here's the doctor.

00:46:41Hi, Mike.

00:46:42Did Joe Wayman

00:46:42or Foghorn come back yet?

00:46:44No, my friend.

00:46:45It was no easy task

00:46:45you gave them.

00:46:46Finding out about

00:46:47this mysterious,

00:46:48crazy man is like

00:46:49looking for a needle

00:46:49in a haystack.

00:46:50Oh, don't I know it.

00:46:51His clothes are just

00:46:52stock garments

00:46:53sold by the thousands.

00:46:54The locksmith

00:46:55you left the key with

00:46:56says it's from

00:46:56any one of a million

00:46:57doors in New York.

00:46:59That is,

00:46:59if it's not from

00:47:00Chicago or Boston.

00:47:01That's what I was

00:47:01afraid of.

00:47:06Mother.

00:47:09Mother.

00:47:10Goodness sake,

00:47:11what are you doing here?

00:47:13Something wrong?

00:47:13Where's father?

00:47:14I'm fine.

00:47:15Nothing's wrong.

00:47:16Your father has to bring

00:47:16a patient to see

00:47:17Dr. Gillespie.

00:47:18Well, well, Mrs. Kildare,

00:47:19you're looking young

00:47:20enough to be your own

00:47:21daughter.

00:47:22Only then you'd be

00:47:23your own mother.

00:47:23And you don't look

00:47:24old enough for that.

00:47:25I bet you tell that

00:47:26to all the girls.

00:47:27I do, and I tell them

00:47:28all to make themselves

00:47:29at home.

00:47:30Thanks, Mike.

00:47:30My, my.

00:47:33Things must be pretty

00:47:34slack with you

00:47:34big city doctors.

00:47:35I don't know.

00:47:37Tell me.

00:47:38Are you well

00:47:39and happy?

00:47:41Why shouldn't I?

00:47:42If you both.

00:47:42Well, if it simply

00:47:43said yes,

00:47:44I'd have known you were,

00:47:45but what's the trouble?

00:47:47Mother, I think you are

00:47:48a mind reader.

00:47:50Yes, I am

00:47:51at kind of a crossroads.

00:47:52Nobody ever

00:47:53accomplished anything

00:47:54without passing crossroads.

00:47:55The only question is

00:47:56which road do you take?

00:47:58It's not as simple

00:47:59as all that.

00:48:00Doing right is always simple.

00:48:02It's only the wrong thing

00:48:03that takes working out.

00:48:04Oh, excuse me, Doc.

00:48:05Oh, hello, boys.

00:48:06Did you, uh,

00:48:07oh, mother,

00:48:08allow me to present

00:48:09Mr. Joe Wayman

00:48:10and, uh,

00:48:10Mr. Foghorn Murphy.

00:48:12Foghorn?

00:48:13What's your real name?

00:48:14Harold.

00:48:14I prefer Foghorn.

00:48:16So do I.

00:48:16How do you do, Joe?

00:48:17Awfully glad to see you.

00:48:18I've heard a lot about you

00:48:19and your monkey wrench.

00:48:20Oh, those stories

00:48:22are exaggerated,

00:48:23Mrs. Kildare.

00:48:23I never even owned

00:48:24a monkey wrench.

00:48:26Well, sit down, fellas.

00:48:28Tell me,

00:48:29did you find out anything?

00:48:31The boys have been

00:48:31getting some information

00:48:32for me.

00:48:33Oh, about those crossroads?

00:48:35Me and my pals

00:48:35made a house-to-house

00:48:36canvas of the neighborhood

00:48:37where your screwball

00:48:38was run over.

00:48:39We found one house

00:48:40where a guy had disappeared.

00:48:42Oh, go on.

00:48:43This mug disappeared

00:48:44in 1911

00:48:45with a blonde

00:48:45in the Sunday school collection.

00:48:47Hear, hear, hear.

00:48:48I was a blonde myself

00:48:49at 16

00:48:50and no peroxide either.

00:48:51And the prettiest one

00:48:52in town, I'll bet.

00:48:53The prettiest one

00:48:54in the state, Harold.

00:48:55J. Harold.

00:48:56J. Harold.

00:48:57Oh, excuse me.

00:48:58I won't say another word.

00:48:59I dug up that truck driver

00:49:01that clipped your guy.

00:49:02At first,

00:49:03he wouldn't talk.

00:49:04Then he, uh,

00:49:05he changed his mind.

00:49:06But he don't know

00:49:07who the guy is

00:49:08or anything about him.

00:49:10Oh, oh, oh,

00:49:11who put that thing

00:49:12in my pocket?

00:49:13Why am I always

00:49:14someplace else

00:49:15when there's a good fight?

00:49:16Let me know

00:49:16next time you're in town.

00:49:17I'll sock someone for you.

00:49:19Well, Doc,

00:49:22I'm sorry

00:49:23we weren't much help.

00:49:24It was kind of tough

00:49:25without knowing

00:49:25the guy's name

00:49:26or anything.

00:49:27That's all right, fellas.

00:49:28Thanks a lot anyway.

00:49:29Uh, goodbye,

00:49:29Mrs. Kildare.

00:49:30We're swell meeting you.

00:49:31Oh, and if you ever

00:49:33need a taxiway,

00:49:33just call and...

00:49:34Oh, Nick's on that foghorn.

00:49:36I'll take Mrs. Kildare

00:49:37in the ambulance

00:49:38if she has to go

00:49:38anywheres.

00:49:39Thank you, gentlemen.

00:49:40I'll accept both invitations,

00:49:42providing you let me drive.

00:49:43That's a day.

00:49:44Well, now you are stuck,

00:49:48aren't you, son?

00:49:50Yes, Mother.

00:49:51Right now I am in trouble.

00:49:54There's one way out,

00:49:55but it's awfully dangerous.

00:49:57Excuse me.

00:49:58I'm awfully sorry

00:49:59the boys couldn't help,

00:50:00but always remember

00:50:01one thing, Dr. Kildare.

00:50:03Trouble is nothing new

00:50:04for the likes of you and me.

00:50:05The Irish ain't been

00:50:06out of trouble

00:50:07for 1,100 years.

00:50:08Thanks, boys.

00:50:10You said something

00:50:11about, uh, dangerous, Jimmy.

00:50:13Dangerous to do what?

00:50:14Well, to cure an insane man

00:50:19before Friday.

00:50:20So they're curing

00:50:21insane people now, are they?

00:50:23Hmm.

00:50:23It's an almost fantastic thing

00:50:25called the insulin shock cure.

00:50:27It's a gamble.

00:50:29Only two things

00:50:29to think about in a gamble.

00:50:31What have you got to win?

00:50:32What have you got to lose?

00:50:34Lose?

00:50:35Everything.

00:50:36My job.

00:50:37Another doctor's career.

00:50:38Maybe the patient's life.

00:50:40But think of what

00:50:40you've got to win, too.

00:50:42Oh, I'm not thinking about

00:50:42you and the other doctor.

00:50:43But the poor man.

00:50:46You can give him a new life.

00:50:47And everything God

00:50:48meant people to enjoy.

00:50:51You're slow to decide, son,

00:50:52because you think

00:50:53you're all alone in this.

00:50:55But you're not.

00:50:56There's a man over

00:50:57in that hospital

00:50:58that just fine a doctor

00:51:00has ever helped the ailing.

00:51:02Oh, I know.

00:51:03But I can't ask

00:51:04Dr. Gillespie to help me.

00:51:05Who's talking about

00:51:06Dr. Gillespie?

00:51:07I mean your own father.

00:51:10Oh, of course.

00:51:13Well, now the only thing

00:51:14to figure out

00:51:15is how to get a hold of him

00:51:16without Dr. Gillespie suspecting.

00:51:18Get to work, son.

00:51:19I will.

00:51:20I'll be seeing you, pal.

00:51:22Oh, it's funny, Mother.

00:51:24Whenever I know

00:51:25that I'm right with you,

00:51:26I can generally manage

00:51:27to work out everything else.

00:51:29Joiner.

00:51:38Joiner.

00:51:39Oh, I wonder

00:51:40if you do a favor.

00:51:41For me, it's awfully important.

00:51:43Precisely 6.30.

00:51:44I'm leaving here

00:51:44to meet a young female person

00:51:45whose boyfriend

00:51:46is confined to room 714

00:51:48with a broken leg.

00:51:50Until then,

00:51:50I'm going to lie quietly

00:51:51and conserve my manly figure.

00:51:53Oh, you're going

00:51:54to make a phone call for me

00:51:55and then you're going

00:51:55to take a walk

00:51:56for about half an hour.

00:51:57And furthermore,

00:51:58the young female person

00:51:59has bright yellow hair

00:52:00and practically no brains.

00:52:03Dr. Joiner,

00:52:04if the young lady

00:52:05is free for the evening

00:52:05because her boyfriend

00:52:06has been forbidden visitors,

00:52:09by your orders, of course,

00:52:10I could easily report that out.

00:52:11Oh, no, don't shoot.

00:52:13Who do you want me to phone?

00:52:15Gillespie's waiting room.

00:52:18Oh, Dr. Stephen Kildare.

00:52:20Just a minute, please.

00:52:23Hello.

00:52:24Yes.

00:52:26Yes, I am Stan.

00:52:27Well, just as soon

00:52:29as I finish here.

00:52:32Pardon me,

00:52:33that's, uh,

00:52:34that is my wife.

00:52:35Oh.

00:52:36You see, uh,

00:52:37the rash hangs on

00:52:39in spite of everything

00:52:40that I've done,

00:52:40although it's confined

00:52:41to our hands.

00:52:42Well, it's obviously

00:52:43a skin allergy.

00:52:45Allergy?

00:52:45Why, that might take

00:52:46months to identify.

00:52:48Tell me, Mrs. Cray,

00:52:49what do you do

00:52:49with yourself?

00:52:50How do you spend

00:52:51your time?

00:52:52I don't do anything

00:52:53as long as I get

00:52:54my check from my son,

00:52:56keep the frost

00:52:57off my petunias,

00:52:58and play a little

00:52:59mahjong in the evening.

00:53:01Mahjong.

00:53:03Mahjong.

00:53:04See, I've heard

00:53:05of trouble

00:53:05with mahjong sets.

00:53:07The lacquer contains

00:53:08sap from a Japanese tree

00:53:11of the Shumack family.

00:53:12That could count

00:53:13for the skin disease.

00:53:15I could believe

00:53:16anything about

00:53:16that mahjong set.

00:53:18My daughter-in-law

00:53:18sent it to me.

00:53:20Uh, Julia,

00:53:20you didn't take it

00:53:21with you to the

00:53:22Yellowstone last summer,

00:53:23did you?

00:53:24I did not.

00:53:25You can't play

00:53:26mahjong on a horseback.

00:53:28You see,

00:53:28once you came back,

00:53:29her hands were

00:53:29all cleared up.

00:53:30Well, there you are,

00:53:31Dr. Stephen,

00:53:32you got it.

00:53:33Suppose we keep

00:53:34Mrs. Cray here

00:53:35for a couple of days

00:53:36and fix up this rash,

00:53:37and then when you go home,

00:53:39take up Solitaire.

00:53:40In the meantime,

00:53:41we'll put her

00:53:42across the hall

00:53:43in that nice big room,

00:53:45370.

00:53:45Oh, Dr. Gillespie,

00:53:46which the rich

00:53:47Mrs. Van Alistair

00:53:48has already paid for

00:53:49until Tuesday.

00:53:50I sent her home

00:53:51this morning.

00:53:52Nothing wrong with her

00:53:53but too much money.

00:53:55Goodbye, Dr. Gillespie,

00:53:56and thank you.

00:53:59As long as Dr. Stephen

00:54:01did all the work,

00:54:02I don't owe you a cent.

00:54:04Goodbye.

00:54:06Sit down.

00:54:07Well, uh,

00:54:08I'm never so much

00:54:09obliged to you,

00:54:10Dr. Gillespie.

00:54:11I, uh,

00:54:12well, I've got to run

00:54:13along now.

00:54:14I'll, uh,

00:54:14I'll be back.

00:54:16Uh-huh.

00:54:18Next patient.

00:54:20No, no,

00:54:21hold the next patient.

00:54:23Come here.

00:54:25Say, Parker,

00:54:26did you notice

00:54:26that I said anything

00:54:28to offend Dr. Stephen,

00:54:29or was it my imagination

00:54:31that he was acting strangely?

00:54:33I wouldn't know

00:54:33anything about that,

00:54:34but if it was his wife

00:54:35on the phone,

00:54:36he's married to a woman

00:54:37with a bass voice.

00:54:41Hello, Jimmy.

00:54:42Oh, hello, Dad.

00:54:43What is all this?

00:54:44Please sit down.

00:54:46Why all the mysteries?

00:54:46Anything wrong?

00:54:48Dad, what do you know

00:54:49about the insulin shock

00:54:49cure for insanity?

00:54:51Insulin shock?

00:54:52Why?

00:54:53Well, tell me,

00:54:53have you ever actually

00:54:55seen a cure affected?

00:54:56Yes, I have.

00:54:58And it was one of the

00:54:59most terrifying things

00:55:00I've ever seen

00:55:00in all my life.

00:55:01Ah, but it worked,

00:55:02isn't it?

00:55:03Yes.

00:55:04Yes, it worked

00:55:05because it was performed

00:55:06under the most ideal

00:55:07circumstances,

00:55:08with cases that had

00:55:09every chance of surviving.

00:55:11Well, then you've never

00:55:12seen insulin tried

00:55:13when the patient

00:55:14wasn't in perfect

00:55:15physical shape.

00:55:16Oh, no.

00:55:17No, in case of any injury,

00:55:18especially to the head

00:55:19or the brain,

00:55:19they wouldn't dare.

00:55:24But, Jimmy,

00:55:25stop dodging the issue.

00:55:27If you need any help,

00:55:28I'm your father.

00:55:30I'm sorry.

00:55:30This is my problem.

00:55:31I know it is, Jimmy.

00:55:33I don't want to interfere.

00:55:34I'll tell you how

00:55:35you can help me.

00:55:36I've read everything

00:55:37about insulin shock.

00:55:38I know all the theories.

00:55:40But I want you to tell me

00:55:42everything you saw.

00:55:43Don't leave out one detail

00:55:45right from the beginning.

00:55:47Well, Jimmy,

00:55:49insulin shock

00:55:49causes the patient

00:55:50to revert backwards

00:55:51through every stage

00:55:52of evolution.

00:55:54At the dictates

00:55:54of his shocked brain,

00:55:56his human body

00:55:57attempts to simulate

00:55:58all the actions

00:55:59and mannerisms

00:56:00of each successive step

00:56:01back through the ape,

00:56:03the bird,

00:56:04lizard, fish,

00:56:04and so forth.

00:56:05This abnormal effort

00:56:06involves the most,

00:56:09oh, the most horrible

00:56:10convulsions.

00:56:11nice work, Mary.

00:56:25It was easy enough

00:56:25to switch places

00:56:26with Irene.

00:56:27She was dying

00:56:27to get the night off.

00:56:29Look, Jimmy,

00:56:30I haven't said a word

00:56:30about this to anyone.

00:56:31You know I wouldn't.

00:56:33But are you sure

00:56:34you want to do this?

00:56:35Oh, we've been all

00:56:36through that before.

00:56:37No, we haven't.

00:56:38Are you doing this

00:56:39because of Gregory Lane?

00:56:41None of this

00:56:42is Lane's fault.

00:56:44Nothing more than that.

00:56:46Mary, there's a man

00:56:47in there,

00:56:47and if his particular

00:56:48problem isn't solved

00:56:49by tomorrow,

00:56:50he stands a good chance

00:56:51of being a miserable

00:56:52object the rest

00:56:53of his life.

00:56:54Tomorrow's Friday,

00:56:55and I have to find out

00:56:56what that means to him

00:56:57before it's too late.

00:56:59Here we go.

00:57:06I don't know a thing

00:57:13about this insulin business.

00:57:15Well, I know that

00:57:17a terrific shock

00:57:18will sometimes

00:57:18drive a person crazy.

00:57:20An overdose of insulin

00:57:21apparently works

00:57:22just the reverse.

00:57:24The tremendous shock

00:57:25it gives seems to drive

00:57:26the crazed brain

00:57:26back to sanity.

00:57:29Suppose he dies.

00:57:30Let's try supposing

00:57:31he'll live.

00:57:33But what about you

00:57:34if he does die?

00:57:35Get his arm ready.

00:57:36How long does it take?

00:58:01Five hours.

00:58:03Five hours?

00:58:04Two and a half hours?

00:58:24It ought to be

00:58:26at least two hours

00:58:26more before the effects

00:58:28are penetrated

00:58:28into the deepest part

00:58:29of the brain.

00:58:30How will we be able

00:58:31to tell?

00:58:32If I'm right,

00:58:34his actions

00:58:34ought to tell us.

00:58:38See, the theory is

00:58:40that buried deep

00:58:42in the human brain

00:58:43is the primitive brain

00:58:44of our earliest ancestors.

00:58:47The action of the insulin

00:58:49on that basic part

00:58:50must be what restores

00:58:51the patient's sanity.

00:58:54Because what actually happens,

00:58:56is no one knows.

00:59:03Here it comes, Mary.

00:59:11It's working.

00:59:12You see, the brain

00:59:25is starting to travel backwards.

00:59:27The body is compelled

00:59:28to follow.

00:59:36The hands are beginning

00:59:38with first primitive movements.

00:59:39It's as an ape

00:59:41might cling to a tree.

00:59:48Convulsions are a necessary

00:59:49part of the process.

00:59:50The body is desperately

00:59:51trying to obey

00:59:52the impossible commands

00:59:53of the brain.

00:59:54You see, over thousands

01:00:06of years

01:00:07of human evolution,

01:00:08the progress

01:00:09of frantically fighting,

01:00:11the muscles must have passed.

01:00:14The brain is saying

01:00:16you're no longer a man.

01:00:18You're an animal.

01:00:18Pupils are dilated.

01:00:27Pulses are increasing.

01:00:39Dr. Kildare.

01:00:41What do you want?

01:00:43There's been a change

01:00:44of nurses in this case

01:00:45without my knowledge

01:00:46or permission.

01:00:46I did that.

01:00:47Dr. Kildare,

01:00:48what you're doing

01:00:49with this patient

01:00:49is between you

01:00:50and your conscience

01:00:51or between you

01:00:52and Dr. Carew,

01:00:53which might be worse.

01:00:54Molly, please.

01:00:57Personally,

01:00:58I think you were born

01:00:58to be hanged.

01:01:02Do you think

01:01:03she'll tell anybody?

01:01:05No, the pillow.

01:01:06Watch his head.

01:01:08Jimmy,

01:01:09how long

01:01:09do these convulsions

01:01:10keep up?

01:01:12They get less.

01:01:13They grow worse.

01:01:14We won't know

01:01:15until the fourth hour.

01:01:16How long has it been

01:01:35since he's moved?

01:01:38Oh, for an hour.

01:01:39It's time.

01:01:45Glucose and tube ready.

01:01:47Glucose?

01:01:48Yes.

01:01:52Temperature.

01:01:56This can't be right.

01:01:5886?

01:01:58Nobody can live

01:01:59at that temperature.

01:02:0186?

01:02:04Seems impossible,

01:02:05but it's true.

01:02:06these cases

01:02:08can survive

01:02:08temperatures

01:02:09that otherwise

01:02:09would mean

01:02:10certain death.

01:02:15Reaction to light.

01:02:18Lead and corneal

01:02:19reflexes sluggish.

01:02:22Ready with the glucose.

01:02:24Give it a tube,

01:02:24quickly.

01:02:26His brain

01:02:27is completely released.

01:02:29If we let him

01:02:29stay too long,

01:02:30we'll never get him

01:02:31out of it.

01:02:31Why doesn't he move?

01:02:49It'll take a little while

01:02:50for him to absorb

01:02:50the glucose.

01:02:52The insulin's burned out

01:02:53every bit of sugar

01:02:53in his body.

01:02:55The glucose will restore it.

01:02:56Then what?

01:02:57Well,

01:02:59the miracle of insulin shock

01:03:00is that one minute

01:03:01you have

01:03:01this

01:03:03and the next minute,

01:03:04if you're lucky,

01:03:05you have a sane

01:03:06and normal person.

01:03:08But,

01:03:09but if he doesn't

01:03:10come out of it,

01:03:11then we'll have

01:03:13killed him.

01:03:17Can you hear me?

01:03:19How are you?

01:03:20How do you feel?

01:03:22Well,

01:03:23if I only knew

01:03:23his name.

01:03:25Listen,

01:03:25it's Friday.

01:03:29Jimmy,

01:03:30he's dead.

01:03:30Quiet.

01:03:32Can you hear me?

01:03:33How are you?

01:03:35Can you hear me?

01:03:36How are you?

01:03:37Can you hear me?

01:03:39How are you?

01:03:40Can you hear me?

01:03:42How are you?

01:03:44Can you hear me?

01:03:46How are you?

01:03:49He's all right,

01:03:49I guess.

01:03:53milk and jelly sandwiches

01:03:58right away,

01:03:59please.

01:04:00Jelly sandwiches?

01:04:02Jelly sandwiches

01:04:02and milk,

01:04:03nothing else,

01:04:03right away.

01:04:04Yes,

01:04:04doctor.

01:04:05Yes,

01:04:06doctor.

01:04:18Feel more

01:04:18like yourself now?

01:04:20I feel fine.

01:04:21It hurts a little.

01:04:23Well,

01:04:23under the circumstances,

01:04:24that's hardly surprising.

01:04:27You remember me,

01:04:28don't you?

01:04:29Yes,

01:04:30you're the doctor

01:04:31that wanted to

01:04:32operate on me

01:04:34after I was hurt.

01:04:35That's right.

01:04:38You feel able

01:04:39to answer

01:04:39a few questions?

01:04:41Mm-hmm.

01:04:43Jelly sandwiches.

01:04:46Jelly sandwiches.

01:04:47Do you want

01:04:49the jelly inside

01:04:50the sandwiches

01:04:51or do you want

01:04:51it on the outside?

01:04:52Oh,

01:04:52that's ridiculous.

01:04:53Not in this crazy place.

01:04:55I make coffee

01:04:56for the king.

01:04:57He raises my salary.

01:04:58I make coffee

01:04:59for the general.

01:05:00He kisses me

01:05:01on both cheeks.

01:05:02I make coffee

01:05:03for Molly Bird.

01:05:04She sends

01:05:05for my relatives.

01:05:06Take them away.

01:05:07He's fine now,

01:05:12Mary.

01:05:13Just give him

01:05:13that food

01:05:14and don't let anyone

01:05:14talk to him

01:05:15until I get back.

01:05:16Back?

01:05:16Where are you going?

01:05:17I got the answer

01:05:18to this whole business.

01:05:18The thing that was

01:05:19locked up

01:05:19in his poor,

01:05:20twisted brain.

01:05:21Now,

01:05:21listen,

01:05:22Mary.

01:05:22There's no time

01:05:22to explain now,

01:05:23but remember one thing.

01:05:25No one's to see him

01:05:26and no one's to talk

01:05:27to him

01:05:27because if anyone

01:05:28questions him

01:05:29before I get back,

01:05:30it's liable

01:05:30to ruin everything.

01:05:31Do you understand that?

01:05:32Yes, doctor.

01:05:33I am.

01:05:47Good evening, nurse.

01:05:49Miss, uh,

01:05:50Miss Lamont,

01:05:51isn't it?

01:05:52I want to examine

01:05:53your patient.

01:05:54Well, uh...

01:05:54The hour may be

01:05:55a bit unusual,

01:05:56but this is a very

01:05:57unusual case.

01:05:59And, uh,

01:06:00while I'm in there,

01:06:01you might get me

01:06:02a little bicarbonate

01:06:03of soda.

01:06:04I've, uh,

01:06:04I've just come

01:06:05from a doctor's banquet.

01:06:06Dr. Crewe,

01:06:07the patient mustn't

01:06:08be disturbed.

01:06:09Indeed?

01:06:09Who said so?

01:06:10Dr.

01:06:11Dr. Hepworth,

01:06:12the staff physician

01:06:13on the case.

01:06:14Oh, that's all right.

01:06:15I spoke to Hepworth

01:06:16at seven o'clock

01:06:16and told him

01:06:17I was coming in.

01:06:17Yes, but, um,

01:06:19he came back after that.

01:06:21But Hepworth told me

01:06:22he wasn't coming back

01:06:23until morning.

01:06:26What is this?

01:06:27I just left Hepworth

01:06:28at the banquet.

01:06:30Oh.

01:06:31It must have been

01:06:32some other doctor.

01:06:33What other doctor?

01:06:35I don't know his name.

01:06:37It's quite obvious

01:06:37something unto Ward

01:06:38is going on here.

01:06:40I intend to find out

01:06:41for myself.

01:06:42Well, well, well, well, well.

01:06:44Wait outside, Conover.

01:06:45Yes, sir.

01:06:46Why, Walter,

01:06:47he looked positively beautiful.

01:06:49This is not the time

01:06:50or place for jokes, Leonard.

01:06:51Well, you must have been

01:06:52joking just now

01:06:53when I came in.

01:06:54Wasn't he, Mary?

01:06:55Leonard,

01:06:56in order to testify properly

01:06:57before the hospital board,

01:06:58I must have complete knowledge

01:07:00of this patient's condition.

01:07:02Well, that's not unreasonable, Mary.

01:07:04But, Dr. Gillespie,

01:07:05the patient mustn't be disturbed.

01:07:07It couldn't be

01:07:08that Dr. Kildare told you

01:07:09not to let anybody in,

01:07:10could it?

01:07:11I don't know a thing,

01:07:12and if I did,

01:07:12I wouldn't tell you.

01:07:13I'd better go in and find out.

01:07:15No, no, wait a minute.

01:07:16Come on, Mary.

01:07:17You might as well tell us.

01:07:18Otherwise, Dr. Carew

01:07:19will have the right

01:07:20to go in there.

01:07:21That's just what

01:07:22Jimmy wants to avoid,

01:07:23isn't it?

01:07:24Dr. Kildare

01:07:28administered insulin shock.

01:07:31I can't believe it.

01:07:34And he did

01:07:35a magnificent job of it.

01:07:36I'll believe that

01:07:37when I examine the patient.

01:07:38Ah, Walter,

01:07:39I wouldn't go in there

01:07:40if I were you.

01:07:41I know I wouldn't.

01:07:43And I was practicing medicine

01:07:44when they were telling you

01:07:45to keep your thumb

01:07:46out of your mouth.

01:07:47Where is Jimmy?

01:07:48I don't know.

01:07:49This is the most outrageous

01:07:50thing I've ever heard.

01:07:51Oh, you ain't heard

01:07:52nothing yet.

01:07:54What's the last thing

01:07:55Kildare said?

01:07:56Give him the jelly sandwiches

01:07:57and don't let anyone near him

01:07:58until I get back.

01:08:00Jelly sandwiches?

01:08:01Of course, jelly sandwiches.

01:08:03You're a doctor, remember?

01:08:05In spite of that outfit.

01:08:07Jelly sandwiches

01:08:08are exactly the right thing

01:08:09to increase the sugar content.

01:08:11Oh, yes, yes, of course.

01:08:12Jelly sandwiches.

01:08:13Oh, make it peanut butter

01:08:14if you want.

01:08:15Only let's get on with it.

01:08:16What else, Mary?

01:08:17That's all I know

01:08:18except the patient in there

01:08:19is as sane as you are.

01:08:21Me or Carew?

01:08:24Dr. Kildare.

01:08:29Dr. Kildare,

01:08:30you're suspended

01:08:31from further duty

01:08:31and just a moment.

01:08:33Nurse, has anyone

01:08:33been in that room?

01:08:34Not a living soul, doctor.

01:08:36And you're not going in

01:08:37until I know all about this?

01:08:38No, I know,

01:08:39but Mrs. Adams is.

01:08:41She has a legal right

01:08:42to see her husband.

01:08:44Will you come in now, please?

01:08:45And everything's going

01:08:48to be all right

01:08:48if you'll just remember.

01:08:54Oh, my dear.

01:08:59I've come back, Henry.

01:09:02Back to stay.

01:09:03If you're going to stay,

01:09:05everything will be all right now.

01:09:06Now, Kildare,

01:09:10just to satisfy

01:09:10the curiosity

01:09:11of the senile old man...

01:09:14Make it too senile old man.

01:09:16That'll take you in, Walter.

01:09:19Of course,

01:09:20the treatments

01:09:20will have to be continued.

01:09:22Adams has been

01:09:22a mental case for months.

01:09:24The result of a separation

01:09:25from his wife.

01:09:26Oh, you don't have to

01:09:27hit me over the head

01:09:28with the bottle.

01:09:28I know the rest of it, too.

01:09:30Yes, it seems his wife

01:09:31had sent him a letter

01:09:32suggesting reconciliation.

01:09:34And Friday

01:09:34was the day

01:09:35they were to meet.

01:09:36Walter,

01:09:36it wouldn't surprise me

01:09:37if you could see

01:09:38through the holes

01:09:39in a ten-foot ladder.

01:09:41Jimmy,

01:09:42how long did he wait

01:09:43for her to come back?

01:09:45About five years, Mary.

01:09:48Well, at least

01:09:49I think it's been established

01:09:50that Dr. Lane's operation

01:09:51did not cause schizophrenia.

01:09:53Although I have to

01:09:54hit you over the head

01:09:55with the bottle.

01:09:55What can I say?

01:09:57I've been wrong.

01:09:59Sometimes I wish

01:10:00that anybody but me

01:10:01was running this hospital.

01:10:03Walter,

01:10:03in the boss's job,

01:10:04even when you're right,

01:10:05you're wrong.

01:10:06Thanks, Leonard.

01:10:07Regardless of the hour,

01:10:09I shall go immediately

01:10:09to Dr. Lane

01:10:10and offer him

01:10:11my personal

01:10:11and professional apologies,

01:10:13which will make me

01:10:14very happy.

01:10:15Well, that's fine,

01:10:16because Dr. Kildare

01:10:17is working for you

01:10:18beginning tomorrow morning.

01:10:19Working for me?

01:10:20Yes, Kildare.

01:10:21I warned you.

01:10:23You're no longer

01:10:24my assistant.

01:10:25You're fired.

01:10:26Oh, come on, Walter.

01:10:27This has been

01:10:28a nice little case.

01:10:29But there are

01:10:30a million people

01:10:31in New York

01:10:32that need doctors.

01:10:33Perhaps if we get

01:10:34a little sleep,

01:10:34we can help them.

01:10:35Yes, but...

01:10:36Lynn,

01:10:37half the time,

01:10:38I don't know

01:10:38whose side you're on.

01:10:40Well, three-quarters

01:10:41of the time,

01:10:41I don't know myself.

01:10:46Jimmy,

01:10:46did you hear

01:10:47what he said?

01:10:48It just doesn't

01:10:49make sense.

01:10:50Well, let's not

01:10:51talk about it now.

01:10:52But all your plans

01:10:53are all you'd hoped to do.

01:10:55Say,

01:10:56I have half a notion

01:10:57to go up and give

01:10:57that rambunctious

01:10:58old fossil

01:10:59a piece of my mind.

01:11:00Keep your shirt on, Mary.

01:11:01Oh, you men

01:11:02make me tired.

01:11:05What is it, Jimmy?

01:11:07You asked me

01:11:08how long

01:11:08he waited for her.

01:11:10Yes, five years.

01:11:12Well, Mary,

01:11:12the reason I've never

01:11:13said anything to you

01:11:14about anything

01:11:16is because I didn't

01:11:17think it fair

01:11:18to even ask you

01:11:19if you'd be willing

01:11:19to wait as long

01:11:20as we'd have to wait.

01:11:23Perhaps I'm going

01:11:24too fast.

01:11:24There's a good-looking

01:11:25guy in this hospital

01:11:26named Gregory Lane

01:11:27who's in fine favor

01:11:28with the powers of being

01:11:29and has a lot of money.

01:11:30Well, maybe we can

01:11:31find a nice girl

01:11:32to introduce him to.

01:11:33Oh, then I presume

01:11:34we're engaged

01:11:35to be married.

01:11:36Jimmy,

01:11:37I saw the look

01:11:38on Mrs. Adams' face

01:11:39and five years

01:11:41are going to be

01:11:41just nothing.

01:11:44Well, then will you

01:11:45wait just five minutes?

01:11:46I'll be right back.

01:11:47Oh, now where are you going?

01:11:49I'm going to give

01:11:50that rambunctious

01:11:50old fossil

01:11:51a piece of my mind.

01:11:52Hold everything.

01:12:00I suppose you thought

01:12:02I was going to take

01:12:03that crack of yours

01:12:03lying down.

01:12:05Nine goes on the ten.

01:12:08And isn't it nice

01:12:09to be alone?

01:12:10Well, I want to tell

01:12:11you something.

01:12:12You can't fire me

01:12:13because I won't be fired.

01:12:15And if you do fire me,

01:12:16I won't stay fired.

01:12:18Oh, the Lone Ranger, huh?

01:12:21High old silver.

01:12:22You make me feel

01:12:26like a fool.

01:12:28You said you were

01:12:29going to make a fool

01:12:30yourself, didn't you?

01:12:31Well, who was it

01:12:32said you have to have

01:12:33an instinct for diagnosis

01:12:34and the courage

01:12:35to follow it up?

01:12:36I did.

01:12:38Well, every instinct

01:12:39I had told me

01:12:40that Dr. Lane

01:12:40was a good surgeon.

01:12:42Why, you little

01:12:44pipsqueak.

01:12:45If it hadn't been for me,

01:12:46you wouldn't have

01:12:47got the first base.

01:12:48You?

01:12:49Yes, sir.

01:12:50Who was it

01:12:51that had you notified

01:12:52that you were

01:12:52behind in surgery?

01:12:55Mahatma Gandhi?

01:12:56Who was it

01:12:56had you assigned

01:12:57to Dr. Lane?

01:12:59Little red riding hood.

01:13:00Who gave Dr. Hepworth

01:13:02tickets to that banquet?

01:13:04Santa Claus?

01:13:05No, lame brain.

01:13:07Even you

01:13:08couldn't have gotten

01:13:09away with that

01:13:10insulin business

01:13:11without my

01:13:12full authority

01:13:13back of you

01:13:14all the time.

01:13:15Of course,

01:13:16Molly Bird

01:13:17helped a bit.

01:13:18She made me

01:13:19drink two quarts

01:13:21of milk.

01:13:21Yeah.

01:13:23You're still

01:13:24fired.

01:13:25Why?

01:13:26Well, because

01:13:27you're not always

01:13:27going to be lucky.

01:13:29Someday,

01:13:30some of those

01:13:31fantastic crusades

01:13:33of yours

01:13:33are going to

01:13:34kick back on you

01:13:34and crucify you.

01:13:36And then

01:13:36what'll be the good...

01:13:39And then

01:13:40what'll be the use

01:13:40of my teaching

01:13:41my job

01:13:42to a man

01:13:42who's going

01:13:43to end up

01:13:43by having

01:13:44his head nailed

01:13:45on London Bridge.

01:13:47Funny,

01:13:48you never think

01:13:48of that

01:13:48once you

01:13:49get started.

01:13:50Young Dr. Kildare,

01:13:51you've got

01:13:52a single track

01:13:53mind.

01:13:54I'm trying

01:13:55to be like you.

01:13:58There's only

01:13:59one man

01:14:00in the world

01:14:00like me.

01:14:03Me?

01:14:03Well,

01:14:04I wish you'd

01:14:04act more like it

01:14:05sometimes.

01:14:06Boy,

01:14:06I haven't made

01:14:07a mistake

01:14:07since 1926.

01:14:09Except you.

01:14:10What about

01:14:10Dr. Lockberg?

01:14:11Well,

01:14:12what about

01:14:12Dr. Lockberg?

01:14:13I saw him

01:14:14last night,

01:14:14five o'clock.

01:14:15You made

01:14:16the appointment.

01:14:17And instead

01:14:17of letting

01:14:18him examine you,

01:14:18you spent

01:14:19the entire time

01:14:20teaching him

01:14:20to play

01:14:20double solitaire

01:14:21and smoking

01:14:22cigarettes.

01:14:23Well,

01:14:23Jimmy,

01:14:24suppose I

01:14:25promise you

01:14:26to see

01:14:26Lockberg

01:14:27three times

01:14:28a week

01:14:28and you

01:14:28can stay

01:14:29in the room.

01:14:30Huh?

01:14:30That is,

01:14:31provided you'll

01:14:32promise not

01:14:32to make a fool

01:14:33of yourself

01:14:34more than

01:14:34three times

01:14:35a year.

01:14:36Why do you

01:14:36think I came

01:14:37up here?

01:14:37What do you

01:14:38think I've

01:14:38been waiting

01:14:39up here

01:14:39all dressed

01:14:40up in

01:14:40tight pants?

01:14:42Jimmy,

01:14:43for the love

01:14:43of pee,

01:14:44give me a cigarette.

01:14:45Will you?

01:14:49Well.

01:14:55Guess there's

01:14:55only one thing

01:14:56left to do

01:14:57now,

01:14:57and that's

01:14:57tell Dr. Lane

01:14:58about Adams.

01:15:00I'll go

01:15:00do that now.

01:15:01Oh,

01:15:01no,

01:15:02no,

01:15:02that'll keep

01:15:03until tomorrow.

01:15:04Oh,

01:15:04no,

01:15:04it won't either.

01:15:05Lane's waiting

01:15:05in his room.

01:15:06I telephoned him

01:15:06when I left

01:15:07for Mrs. Adams.

01:15:08Well,

01:15:08I'll go along

01:15:09with you.

01:15:09Well,

01:15:09I think

01:15:10you better

01:15:10now.

01:15:10Oh,

01:15:11yes,

01:15:11you carnivore?

01:15:13Carnivore?

01:15:13Where is

01:15:14that sleepy

01:15:14rascal?

01:15:16Good.

01:15:16Well,

01:15:16I'll give

01:15:17you a hand.

01:15:17Unless you'd

01:15:18rather not.

01:15:19No,
