00:42Mmm. That was a good lunch, huh?
00:44Good thing we're on the old expense account.
00:47Dave, I think we need to talk.
00:49Oh, there's a lot of things we need to do.
00:52That's why I got us a room at the Excelsior for dessert.
00:55I really feel that we need to take some time off.
00:59Yeah. Time off sounds good.
01:02Let's take two weeks in Acapulco.
01:05Dave, you're not listening to me.
01:08I think that Withers is getting suspicious.
01:11Not yet. You see, that doesn't matter.
01:14Our sneaking around days are over.
01:16But today I'm gonna march into that office
01:19and tell everyone the good news.
01:22That we're engaged.
01:24We're what?
01:26Don't you just love surprises?
01:30Yes, actually.
01:36I do.
01:39Come on, let's hurry before the champagne gets warm.
01:42Watch out!
01:50Surprise.
01:52You know, I'm not looking for anyone else.
01:54Bye.
01:55Bye.
01:56Bye.
01:59Bye.
02:01Bye.
02:22How's he doing?
02:42BP's 90 over 60, rhythm his sinus.
02:44He's lucky he didn't lose his leg.
02:45If I don't get this artery sewn up, he will.
02:48Hey, there's something wrong with the ventilator.
02:49He's not getting enough oxygen.
02:50He's becoming hypoxic.
02:51Okay, adjust the oxygen level manually.
02:53Yes, doctor.
02:54It's not working.
02:54You have to stop the operation.
02:55I can't stop.
02:56If I do, he loses his leg.
02:57If he don't, he'll go into B-fab.
02:58Well, I can't just let him bleed.
03:00Give me a couple more seconds.
03:02Cardiac arrest.
03:02For the power.
03:04D-fib.
03:05300 joules.
03:06Clear.
03:09Congratulations, doctor.
03:11You have just lost both the leg and the patient.
03:16Okay, good job, everybody.
03:19Thanks for helping, Amanda.
03:20It's always a lot of fun.
03:22I haven't had that much fun since my appendix ruptured.
03:24Believe me, doctor, the patient would have had a lot less fun than you.
03:27Next time, be prepared.
03:28Yeah, but, Dr. Grimes, this isn't a fair test.
03:30I mean, it's a no-win situation.
03:33It's not about winning.
03:33It's about making critical choices without hesitation.
03:36A few seconds of indecision can cost a patient their life.
03:39We'll do this again real soon.
03:40That was a stirring speech, doctor, especially considering the way you handled the test when you were an intern.
03:49Oh, I don't know.
03:50I think the object of the test was to prove if a doctor could think on his feet.
03:53I proved I could.
03:54You had the nurse apply a tourniquet, and then you snapped a chip into the machine, a new one you just happen to have with you.
04:02Cheating.
04:03Being prepared.
04:04So what would you do if Jesse pulled the same thing?
04:09Bounced him for cheating.
04:11Thanks to you, I'm the new chief of staff.
04:12I have to play by the rules.
04:15What's the story, DC?
04:16Car accident victim.
04:18We've got contusions, possible broken ribs, collapsed lung, and severe bodily trauma.
04:22Check the vitals.
04:23God dang.
04:24Okay, start an IV, TKO, D5W.
04:27I want to get chest x-ray, arterial blood gases, hemoglobin, and hematocrit.
04:31Hey.
04:32You know him, too?
04:33Yeah, he's a rep for Benchmark Pharmaceuticals.
04:36Dave Chambers, nice guy.
04:38I'd better see if Jesse needs help.
04:40Sure.
04:44Hey.
04:46I didn't even see the car.
04:47He was standing next to me, and then the next minute he was stepping off the curb.
04:51That's all right.
04:52It's okay.
04:53Nice and very good hands.
04:54Oh.
04:56Oh.
04:56Oh.
04:56Oh.
04:57Oh.
04:57Oh.
04:57Oh.
04:57Oh.
04:57Oh.
04:57Oh.
04:57Oh.
04:57Oh.
04:57Oh.
04:57Oh.
04:57Oh.
04:57Oh.
04:58Oh.
04:58Oh.
04:59Oh.
04:59Oh.
04:59Oh.
04:59Oh.
05:03Hey, buddy.
05:04How you feeling?
05:05Like I was hit by a truck.
05:08Well, I wouldn't exaggerate.
05:10That car barely qualified as a compact.
05:12Uh-huh.
05:13How'd this happen?
05:13I had a trip stepping off the curb.
05:16The last thing I remember thinking is, I'm gonna be another bug on this guy's windshield.
05:20Well, you came out better than that, although you did have a hematoma compressing your intestine
05:25and we had to operate, but, uh, I wouldn't worry about it.
05:28You're gonna be out of here annoying your clients in a few days.
05:30Yeah, well, not after the bonehead move I pulled last week.
05:34What'd you do?
05:35Accepted a promotion.
05:36Southwest regional sales director.
05:38Hey, that's great.
05:40Yeah, you're just saying that because you've seen my replacement.
05:44Stephanie, the woman who came in with me?
05:46Oh, yeah.
05:47She's all right.
05:48Yeah, she's amazing.
05:50Of course, I taught her everything I know.
05:53I bet she's been waiting to see me.
05:55Oh, I don't know, but I'm, uh, sure Janie is.
05:58You know, Janie, your wife.
06:01Want me to call her?
06:02No, let's not bother her with this.
06:05Okay, but you think she's gonna know something's up when, uh, you come home with those bandages on
06:10or just the fact that you haven't been home?
06:12Jesse, we're separated.
06:15Sorry.
06:17No problem.
06:18Okay, I'll, uh, check up on you in a little while.
06:22Hey, listen, do me a favor, will you?
06:24If you see Stephanie, ask her to drop by, okay?
06:33I thought I had a 10.30 with a new guy from Benchmark Pharmaceuticals.
06:36You do.
06:37She's inside.
06:38Not disappointed to see me?
06:47I was expecting somebody else.
06:50I'm the new rep for Benchmark Pharmaceuticals, the real Stephanie Hitcher.
06:54That, um, hysterical idiot yesterday was just a clever disguise.
06:59Oh, I think that hysterical idiot did pretty well for herself.
07:02Your quick thinking helped save Dave Chambers' life, so...
07:05Please, sit down.
07:06So, what can I do for you today?
07:07Well, I was sort of hoping that you could fill me in on the business that Benchmark has been doing with Community General.
07:13Well, shouldn't you be telling me that stuff?
07:16Well, I really wasn't scheduled to take over for another couple weeks, and, um...
07:20Well, I'd hate to bother Dave with it now, you know, so...
07:23I was hoping I could throw myself on your mercy, and, uh, maybe you could help me out.
07:27Well, my mercy isn't the problem.
07:29My knowledge is.
07:30Uh, rather, my lack of it.
07:32I've just started here myself, so...
07:34All right, then.
07:35Maybe I could come back in a week or so.
07:36That'll give us some time to catch up.
07:38Oh, that's probably best.
07:39Unless, of course, you need something right away that we don't know about.
07:42Huh.
07:43You know, I've got a book in my car that has all the business the Community General has done in the last couple years.
07:48Maybe we should just wade through it together.
07:51I suppose we should.
07:53Great.
07:53Then, uh, what about over lunch?
07:56I'm booked all day.
07:58They're giving me a reception at five.
07:59Okay, then what about dinner, say, seven?
08:02Uh, it'll have to be a quick one.
08:03I've got to prepare for a morning staff meeting.
08:06I'll have you home by nine.
08:08Yeah, you do that, and I'll never have dinner with you again.
08:16So, the accident will get smaller and smaller and smaller in the distance.
08:20What'd you do?
08:21I saw some boulders near the side of me, so I sort of aimed at them.
08:24I opened up my park.
08:25Your husband certainly hasn't lost his taste for adventure, hasn't he?
08:28Well, if you call moving every year an adventure.
08:32Well, I'm afraid I'm as much to blame for that as he.
08:34I am the one who lobbied for him to get that job.
08:37Well, he's the guy who accepted without asking me, even though my career is finally taking
08:41off 3,000 miles away.
08:44We are so lucky to have Todd Grimes.
08:46You need to say that 15 years ago when he broke into your office and spread superglue
08:50on everything.
08:51He did that?
08:51Oh, yeah.
08:52You said at the time that he was the worst plague that the internship program had ever
08:56inflicted on a hospital.
08:57Well, I hope someone told me to get a sense of humor.
08:59Frequently.
09:00Oh, have you met Norman Briggs?
09:02Uh, Mrs. Plague.
09:04Kim.
09:05Welcome to the community general family.
09:07If there's anything we could do to make the transition easier, please don't hesitate to ask.
09:11Well, you could call me a cab.
09:14Todd promised to drive me to the airport an hour ago, but if he's not even on the chopper
09:18yet, there's no stopping him for another 15 minutes.
09:20So there's this helicopter hovering over my head.
09:25I could take you.
09:27That's really not necessary.
09:29Oh, no, no, no.
09:30It's our fault that your life has become so complicated.
09:32Let me simplify a little.
09:34I'll take you.
09:35Well, if you put it that way, I'll just grab my bags out of Todd's car on the way out.
09:41Aren't you going to say goodbye to Todd?
09:44That's one thing about a bi-coastal marriage.
09:46You always have another opportunity to say goodbye.
09:49And that's how I wound up back at community general.
10:04Kind of anti-glymactic, isn't it?
10:06Oh, I don't know.
10:06I think in many ways I face even greater challenges here than I did in Somalia.
10:15Did I say something funny?
10:16No.
10:18No, not at all.
10:19I mean, who am I to talk, right?
10:23I sell pharmaceuticals.
10:26But?
10:27But at least I don't try to convince myself that it's anything more than a temporary gig.
10:36Until I can do what I really want.
10:38Which is?
10:38If I knew, my trunk wouldn't be filled with samples.
10:46Well, I'm sorry to interrupt, but the kitchen's closing in ten minutes, so if you'd like to order.
10:50How did it get so late?
10:52Can you give us just two more minutes?
10:54Of course.
10:54And can you bring another bottle, please?
10:56Yes, right away.
10:57So you're telling me that I'm fooling myself into thinking my new job is worthwhile?
11:02No, not at all.
11:04I think that you will do great things for Community General.
11:08Well, it's great for me, too.
11:10I'm sure it is.
11:12I just can't believe that after all the things you've done and all the places you've been,
11:20you'd be willing to settle for a desk job in Los Angeles.
11:23Well, there's a lot to be said for a normal life.
11:33Besides, when you're married, you have to make compromises.
11:37Sure.
11:39Like which toothpaste to buy.
11:41No, what I mean is staying in one place for a few years while Kim builds her career isn't going to kill me.
11:50Just your soul.
11:53You know, my soul and I are very happy to be in Los Angeles.
12:02Really?
12:03Mm-hmm.
12:04And you and your soul are liars.
12:10Are we that obvious?
12:13To me.
12:18Excuse me, sir.
12:21Tell me.
12:23Wake up.
12:36I'm getting lonely.
12:37Shh.
12:42Oh, what time is it?
12:46About 9.30.
12:50Oh, God.
12:51Oh, God.
12:52Oh.
12:54Oh, God.
12:55The staff meeting started a half hour ago.
12:57Oh, good.
12:59There's really no point in leaving, is there?
13:00Oh, we can't.
13:13Oh, yes, we can.
13:15Just like we did all night.
13:17Oh.
13:18Stephanie, stop.
13:20We can't.
13:21We can't.
13:22Look, Stephanie.
13:27Stephanie, we drank too much.
13:30I'm sorry, but this was a mistake.
13:33Well, we both know that's not true.
13:36Yeah, well, we also both know I'm married.
13:38To a woman who doesn't allow you to live the life you always wanted.
13:43Stephanie, look.
13:44You know, I think you're an incredible woman.
13:46And I wish that we had met under different circumstances, because if I were free, then this could be the beginning and not the end.
13:55It still can be.
13:58Stephanie, it may not be the best marriage right now, but I love my wife.
14:05I don't want to lose her.
14:07Do you want to lose this?
14:10No.
14:10Stephanie, Stephanie, let's go back to the relationship that we're supposed to have.
14:20A professional one.
14:21Okay.
14:22But I want more than that.
14:24And I know you do, too.
14:26You know what?
14:26What you want, all right?
14:27And what I want doesn't really matter.
14:32This will never happen again.
14:36Oh, yes, it will.
14:39Simply because we can't help ourselves.
14:40Well, your new house isn't far at all.
14:48No, no, that's the best thing about it.
14:50Walking distance to the hospital, I leave my front door, I'm in my office for ten minutes.
14:54Must have been a lot of foot traffic along here this morning.
14:57Look, I'm not crazy about staff meetings either, but you called it.
15:00You should have been there.
15:01I know, I know, I know.
15:01My alarm didn't go off, I couldn't find my keys.
15:03Well, it wasn't the greatest move in the world, but it's not the end of your career.
15:06Look, it's not going to happen again, I promise.
15:07Okay.
15:08Look, it's a fixer-upper, but it's, well, the price was right.
15:12Boy, it looks perfect to me.
15:14Well, thank you, sir.
15:15Me, too.
15:16Of course, we never bought a house that Kim didn't think needed a little work.
15:20Has there been that many?
15:21Well, I promised her this would be the last one.
15:24At least for a while, anyway.
15:26So, what do you think?
15:27You need some color.
15:30I need color, yeah.
15:34Dr. Mark Sloan, this is Stephanie Hitchard, the benchmark pharmaceuticals rep.
15:38Very nice to meet you.
15:41Flowers are certainly a wonderful housewarming gift, aren't they?
15:45Second best thing would be a meal.
15:47I hope you like deli, Dr. Sloan.
15:49There's plenty for everyone.
15:50Oh, thank you.
15:51I have to get back to the hospital.
15:53All right.
15:53Aggressive sales.
16:02Well, Todd, you and Kim really lucked out with this place.
16:06I think you're going to be happy here.
16:07Thanks.
16:10Todd, if you know a fever would like to talk, never a bad time.
16:16Oh, thanks, Mark.
16:16Everything's fine.
16:18Just, you know, just don't tell Kim that you saw the house.
16:23Before all the boxes weren't packed, I think that she'd kill me.
16:27See you.
16:27Yeah.
16:35Oh, I just love the way the midday sun fills the room.
16:40So homey.
16:42What are you doing here?
16:44Oh, there's nothing more depressing than being all by yourself in a big empty house.
16:48By the way, the back door was left open.
16:52You really should always check that before you leave.
16:54Stephanie.
16:55Stephanie.
16:57We talked about this.
16:59You know, I stayed in bed after you left this morning.
17:03Curled up in the warm sheets.
17:06Could smell your cologne on the pillow.
17:10It was as if you were still there, holding me.
17:13I thought we had an understanding.
17:17We do.
17:19After lunch, I'll help you unpack the sheets.
17:24Stephanie, we're not having lunch or anything else together.
17:28This relationship is over.
17:30You know, you don't have to be afraid.
17:35What you feel for me, what I feel for you, it's natural.
17:38It's right.
17:41Stephanie, I don't feel anything.
17:43What?
17:49Oh, sweetheart, hi.
17:50No, I'm sorry.
17:51It's just been a really difficult day.
17:552.30 tomorrow.
17:56No, that's not good for me.
17:58I have a staff meeting.
18:00No, I can't reschedule.
18:04Can you take a later flight?
18:07Sweetheart.
18:08Okay.
18:08No, of course, I want to see you.
18:10It's just not that.
18:11Fine, take the shuttle.
18:12See you tomorrow.
18:14All right.
18:15I love you.
18:16I love you.
18:21Get out.
18:22Get out.
18:23Don't ever come back again.
18:26Your marriage is dead.
18:29And as soon as you admit that, you'll be free.
18:42You'll have to give me some pointers because I always seem to pack my entire closet.
18:54I'm sorry, I don't mean to be rude, but you are.
18:57Oh, I'm sorry.
18:58I'm Stephanie Hitcher.
18:58Todd wanted to come get you himself, but he just couldn't escape from that hospital.
19:04You know Todd, he's at his best under pressure.
19:07Well, you've certainly gotten to know him fast.
19:08We've only been here a week.
19:09Yes, well, it's just like Todd, isn't it?
19:11I mean, he just opens himself up completely to everyone, encourages you to do the same.
19:17Of course, he's a completely different person in private.
19:20Is he?
19:35Yes, he's shy and quiet, almost brooding.
19:39It's what makes men like him so difficult to live with.
19:42Well, I wouldn't know.
19:44We get along just fine.
19:50You know, this can't be happening.
19:53You know, you know, don't say another word.
19:57You just tell it to my lawyer.
20:04Whoa, whoa, what are you doing?
20:06Getting out of this damn bed.
20:07No, no, you're not.
20:08You just had major surgery.
20:09You can't be on your feet yet.
20:10No, watch me.
20:11Dave, you gotta get back in the bed.
20:12Whatever it is you want, I'll get it for you, all right?
20:14Just get back.
20:17I got your messages.
20:18Can we have some privacy, please?
20:22Yeah, but you gotta get back in the bed.
20:26Five minutes.
20:33Man, you look fabulous.
20:35Then take a long look.
20:38It's your last.
20:40Don't tell me I've only got two hours to live.
20:43Well, might as well go out happy.
20:46Oh, so tired of your jokes, Dave.
20:51Almost as tired as I am of you.
20:54Came here to tell you that it's over.
20:57You can't be serious.
20:59I mean, two days ago, you couldn't keep your hands off me.
21:01You tore the shirt off my back.
21:07How can you do this?
21:08I left my wife for you.
21:11Did I ask you to?
21:12No, but...
21:13The Dave I fell in love with was a player.
21:16Top salesman in his company, trophy wife at home.
21:20You had it all.
21:23Now look at you.
21:27You're a loser.
21:29You're living in a tiny apartment.
21:31Your career a wreck.
21:33For you.
21:34It was all for you.
21:34Did you ever once ask what I wanted?
21:38What?
21:40What do you want?
21:41Well, don't bother now.
21:44I've already found it somewhere else.
21:47His name is Dr. Todd Grimes.
21:50And he's everything I once thought you were.
21:56You can't do this.
21:57Oh, I already have.
21:58And I'm gonna do it again and again and again until he's too tired to move.
22:05At his place, actually, tonight.
22:08Please give me another chance.
22:10How are you gonna win me back when you don't even have a job?
22:13How did you know?
22:16Withers just called.
22:18Who do you think told him about you spending entire work days shacked up in expensive hotels
22:24and sticking the bills on your expense account?
22:28I spent those days with you.
22:31Once Withers found out about you sexually harassing me,
22:35that was the end.
22:38Oh, my God.
22:40He gave me your office, by the way.
22:46Nice view.
23:00Yes, Eileen?
23:02Stephanie Hitcher from Benchmark Pharmaceuticals is here to see you.
23:07Tell her I'm tied up all day.
23:10All day?
23:11Oh, we're gonna find that money from somewhere.
23:13If that takes us all day, if it takes us all night, we're gonna find the money.
23:16I like this.
23:17Okay.
23:18Yes, Eileen?
23:19I'm sorry to bother you, but she's very insistent.
23:22She said she has to see you.
23:25Tell her our business is concluded.
23:29Driving a hard bargain?
23:30That's why you hired me, right?
23:35I'm sorry to interrupt your meeting, Mr. Briggs.
23:37It's just that Dr. Grimes here left me hanging yesterday in the middle of a very delicate negotiation.
23:42And, frankly, I'm just not satisfied.
23:46Okay.
23:47It's Hitcher.
23:47It's fine.
23:48We needed a break anyway.
23:49Thank you, Mr. Briggs.
23:50Sure.
23:52Don't give in.
23:53How do I look?
24:05What are you doing here?
24:06I know it's a completely different look.
24:08I, too, wasn't sure if it was right for me.
24:10But Kim said, trust Mario.
24:12He's an artist with hair.
24:14And she was right.
24:17Kim.
24:18Uh-huh?
24:18You talked to Kim.
24:22Oh, she was so helpful.
24:24But I can see what you mean.
24:26She does have this patronizing quality to her.
24:32Stay the hell away from my wife.
24:34Do you understand me?
24:36Stay the hell away from me.
24:38Oh, oh, I know this marriage is killing you, but, baby, don't worry.
24:42I'll help you.
24:44I'll take care of everything.
24:45I'll take care of everything.
24:48I was right.
25:06You couldn't resist me.
25:07Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
25:18We're going to make some cuts elsewhere in the hospital.
25:20They're coming out of the ER budget.
25:21The other department, especially, is his car.
25:24Honey, hi.
25:26I'm surprised.
25:26How was your flight?
25:28I found these in our bed.
25:31I'm sure Stephanie didn't miss them.
25:33Kim, let's talk about this.
25:35Kim, please.
25:36That's what this move to L.A. was all about, wasn't it?
25:39You didn't give a damn about this job you wanted out of this marriage.
25:42But I just didn't get it.
25:44No, Kim, listen.
25:45So you sent the one message I couldn't possibly ignore.
25:47Well, congratulations.
25:52It worked.
26:09Yeah, I think that sleeping with Stephanie was the second biggest mistake of my life.
26:13And what was the first Todd letting me find out?
26:16Letting our marriage slip away.
26:22I don't want to let it slip away anymore.
26:25I think it's too late for that.
26:26I think that we have two choices.
26:32We can either fight to get back what we had, or we can just walk away.
26:36And I don't want to walk away from our life.
26:41Do you?
26:45I know it used to be good, Todd.
26:48But it's been so long, I can't even remember what it was like.
26:51Yes, you can.
26:57It's too much right now.
26:58I can't deal with any more of this.
26:59Okay, tomorrow.
27:00I don't know.
27:00Well, no, I'll make us some breakfast.
27:01We'll drive to the beach, okay?
27:02Don't rush me, Todd.
27:03Okay.
27:06I need to be alone.
27:08Figure some things out.
27:09I guess I'll check into that hotel then for a couple nights, okay?
27:21Thanks.
27:32Give me a phone number as soon as you have one.
27:36I promise.
27:39I promise.
27:57I promise.
28:04I promise.
28:06She did this. She killed my wife.
28:29Who?
28:32Stephanie Hitcher, the rep for Benchmark Pharmaceuticals.
28:36Why would she want to kill your wife?
28:39I made a stupid mistake. I slept with her.
28:43And now Stephanie thinks that we're in love.
28:45I told her that she was wrong, that I was still in love with my wife.
28:52But she wouldn't, um, let go, and now she's stalking me, and you saw it for yourself.
28:58Todd brought me over to see the house that Stephanie had let herself in.
29:02It struck me as a little odd.
29:03She made herself look like Kim just to win me over. Okay? That's how sick she is.
29:07I understand Kim confronted you yesterday about the affair.
29:11Well, it wasn't an affair. I was with Stephanie once at her place.
29:16Kim and I were having troubles, and then, you know, I had a little too much to drink.
29:20Kim found some of Stephanie's underclothes.
29:23Oh, come on. Look, don't you understand how crazy she is?
29:27She wanted Kim to find that. That's why she planted it in the bed, to drive us apart.
29:33But it didn't work.
29:35What do you mean?
29:38Kim and I talked.
29:41I mean, really talked for the first time in, like, years.
29:44And I just think that if we had had some time, we could have worked it out.
29:56All right, Dad, here's what we've got so far.
29:58The, uh, shooter was standing out on the lawn with a handgun, fired five times through the window.
30:03Any witnesses?
30:04Listen, some neighbors heard some loud arguing in a car leaving about 11.
30:09That doesn't mean that Todd didn't park around the corner and come back on foot.
30:13I think it's about time for me to have a talk with Stephanie Hitcher.
30:15Yeah.
30:27So he says I'm obsessed with him, huh?
30:29The exact word was stalking.
30:32Is that true?
30:33Well, half true.
30:35You want to fill me in on the other half?
30:37I guess you could say we were stalking each other.
30:41I could, if I knew what that meant.
30:44Todd likes games, detective.
30:46The more dangerous, the better.
30:48I mean, do you really think it was my idea to show up at the hospital dressed like his wife?
30:55He said you broke into his house.
30:57We have a witness that confirmed that you surprised him there.
30:59I don't suppose that witness said what happened after Todd caught me there.
31:04No.
31:05That's too bad.
31:07Todd likes it when there are people around who might catch us.
31:12He should have seen what we were doing while he was talking on the phone with his wife.
31:16Enlighten me.
31:17I think some things are best left to the imagination.
31:22Not in a murder investigation.
31:25I look good as a suspect, don't I?
31:28I am the one that was having the affair with the husband, right?
31:31Only I wouldn't hurt Kim, because I know that that would hurt Todd.
31:36And I didn't need to.
31:38Frankly, he loves me.
31:39We're going to spend the rest of our lives together.
31:42Kim Grimes was killed with a .38 caliber handgun.
31:45And I'm a registered owner of a .38 with a license to carry.
31:48Exactly.
31:50Would you mind producing that weapon?
31:51Very much.
31:53It's awfully cold in Pittsburgh this time of year.
31:56Pittsburgh?
31:57Mm-hmm.
31:58I gave the gun to my mother.
31:59I'm a pharmaceutical rep.
32:03I carry around many sample cases full of drugs.
32:06But I would never die for a sample case.
32:09And I certainly wouldn't kill for it, so why carry?
32:13Would you mind telling me where you were last night?
32:16Certainly.
32:17I was in a meeting with the entire Western Regional Salesforce.
32:22In fact, we were in a conference room until about 2 a.m. together.
32:26If you'd like any other phone numbers, I'd be happy to get them for you.
32:29Hey, Mark.
32:35Hello, Mark.
32:36Oh, yes, I'm sorry.
32:38A little preoccupied.
32:39Todd Grimes?
32:40Oh, yeah.
32:40I just had a long talk with Norman.
32:42It's a mess.
32:43I picked up the whole thing in my lap.
32:45Oh, well, then I guess you don't need anything else on your mind.
32:47No, I could use a little distraction.
32:48What do you need?
32:49Well, maybe some medical advice?
32:51Yeah.
32:51I've been running a routine renal panel on Dave Chambers twice a day.
32:54And his potassium level was 5.8 yesterday.
32:58Last night, it went down to 3.5.
33:00They're still at normal levels, but I can't account for the drop.
33:03Did you give him any diuretics?
33:05Nope.
33:06Is he vomiting?
33:07He says no.
33:08And none of the nurses have seen anything peculiar.
33:10Fever?
33:11Well, that is odd.
33:15I tell you what, why don't you do another round of tests?
33:17And if you don't mind, I'd like to see the results.
33:19Okay, yeah.
33:19Hello, Dr. Grimes.
33:22Wow.
33:22What is he doing here?
33:24Well, I don't know.
33:25Excuse me.
33:31Todd, what are you doing here?
33:33I'm trying to keep the ER staffed without bankrupting the other departments.
33:36You should be at home.
33:37You know what home means to me, Mark.
33:38It's where Kim is.
33:39Look, I understand what you're going through,
33:41but throwing yourself into your work will just delay the grieving process.
33:44Trust me, Mark, nothing will delay my grief.
33:48At least here I can do some good.
33:49Todd, I really think it'll be best if you take a few weeks off.
33:52I don't think that Norman would appreciate it
33:54if I abandoned him in the middle of this budget battle.
33:57Actually, it's Norman's idea.
34:00You talk to Norman.
34:03Mark, I'll be fine.
34:05As long as I can keep working.
34:06Todd, if you don't take the days off voluntarily,
34:10Norman's going to have to suspend you.
34:12He's going to what?
34:13Norman's also concerned about the hospital.
34:15The board called an emergency meeting this morning.
34:17Oh, so that's what this is about.
34:20My personal life.
34:21Because I had an affair.
34:22Because my wife was killed.
34:24The board sees me as an embarrassment.
34:27Truthfully, there's some concern about you.
34:28The effect your personal life might have on the hospital.
34:31But Norman and I are mostly concerned about you.
34:33Right.
34:33Which is why he's suspending me.
34:36It was the best he could do.
34:37The board wanted to fire you.
34:42Tell him not to bother.
34:43I'll save him the trouble.
34:44Be reasonable.
34:45No, I'm sorry.
34:46Excuse me.
34:46My wife was murdered.
34:48And these vultures want to get rid of me
34:50to save themselves some embarrassment?
34:53To hell with them.
34:55To hell with this job.
34:56I'm so sorry to hear about, Kim.
35:07This must be so hard for you.
35:10Maybe, maybe you could find
35:12just a little bit of hope
35:13that you're free now.
35:16You get it!
35:21We want everything!
35:24Everything!
35:29Get out!
35:30You're at a rest.
35:31We aren't firing him because his wife was murdered.
35:47He's being dismissed for unprofessional conduct.
35:49Well, Norman, he's been under a lot of pressure.
35:52The border ought to have some compassion.
35:54Mark, he tried to strangle a woman in the hallway.
35:57That's not exactly the image community general wants to project.
36:00Stephanie Hitcher's been stalking him.
36:02And it's quite possible she's the one that killed Todd's wife.
36:05Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?
36:09Oh, hi. Hope you've got some good news.
36:12I'm afraid not.
36:13I looked into Stephanie Hitcher's past.
36:15She's moved all over the country and left a lot of human wreckage in her wake.
36:19Oh, so it's not the first time her involvement with a man's ended in some tragedy.
36:24Not by far.
36:25She's got a thing for married men who are rising fast in their profession.
36:28That isn't how she leaves him, is it?
36:30The eight men we know she was involved with, all of them either left her wives or came home
36:34to find their families that left them.
36:37What about violence? Any other people hurt?
36:39Two of the men committed suicide.
36:41Three of them sought restraining orders against her, and one of them accused her of burning
36:44his house down.
36:45But none of the charges ever stuck.
36:47She's the blind date from hell.
36:49But she certainly has a pattern of obsessive, possibly psychotic behavior.
36:53And she's repeated the pattern with Todd.
36:55I think we got her.
36:57I wish we did.
36:58Unfortunately, this picture shows Stephanie with the other sales reps at the Grandview Hotel
37:03downtown at the time of the murder.
37:05Or so she says.
37:06I mean, that picture could have been taken at any time.
37:08Well, the clock on the wall says 1104.
37:11See what the watches say, if you can.
37:14All right.
37:14This woman's watched as 1104 as well.
37:21Well, she may be nuts, but she's careful.
37:24If we don't find some kind of a hole in her alibi, she's going to get away with murder.
37:33I didn't expect to see you here, not after what I did to you.
37:37You didn't do anything to me.
37:38You pushed me for chief of staff.
37:40You convinced the board to move me down from Boston.
37:42And then what did I do?
37:43I self-destructed.
37:44Well, it's not important anymore, Todd.
37:46The important matter is now is finding Kim's killer.
37:49We know who that is.
37:50Well, knowing and proving are two different things.
37:53We checked out Stephanie's alibi.
37:55Solid.
37:56Well, I know she's behind it, and we're going to get her.
37:59There's one small piece of good news.
38:01Steve seemed to think that the charges against you will be reduced to simple assault.
38:05And then what?
38:06You post your bail and you get out of here.
38:09And go where?
38:11You want to come out to the beach house for a few days?
38:13You would do that, even after the embarrassment I've caused you.
38:20Thanks.
38:23But don't bother me.
38:24Well, Todd, you can't give up.
38:25You've got to keep fighting.
38:27Kim is dead.
38:28My career is in ashes.
38:30I don't have a whole hell of a lot to fight for.
38:33You made a mistake.
38:34Kim died for it.
38:35The test results on Dave Chambers just came back.
38:43Oh, I see.
38:45Potassium back up to five.
38:46Sodium, 140.
38:48That's good.
38:48What changed?
38:49Nothing.
38:50He's been in bed all day, and I haven't altered his treatment a bit.
38:52I don't know what's going on.
38:54Well, neither do I.
38:55You know, I bet the guys down in the lab screwed up last night.
38:58Let me run down there and see if I can catch them before they leave.
39:01Wait a minute.
39:02You say run.
39:03Yeah, well, they don't stay a minute past five.
39:05Jesse, forget it.
39:06I think those reports were done perfectly.
39:08They were.
39:09Let me have another look at that.
39:11Yeah.
39:11And southbound on the harbor freeway, there's a city on Adams Boulevard.
39:20Uh-oh.
39:21Must be bad news.
39:23No, no, nothing serious, Dave.
39:24It's just some laboratory results we're a little concerned about.
39:27What's wrong?
39:28Well, we've been running a routine test on you twice each day to check your renal functions.
39:32Yesterday, your potassium level was a 5.8.
39:36Last night, it was down to a 3.5.
39:38Now, this morning, it's back up to a 5 again.
39:40And roughly the same thing happened with your sodium levels.
39:43Well, what's that mean?
39:44Has my condition gotten worse?
39:45No, no, you're fine.
39:46Those are normal levels.
39:48Well, I don't understand, then.
39:49What's the problem?
39:50Well, see, we just can't account for the dip.
39:53The only way that would happen is if you were so sick that you were losing liquid.
39:56Or if you'd overexerted and started to sweat.
40:00Well, that doesn't make any sense, either.
40:01I've been in bed for days.
40:03Except when you rushed over to Todd Grimes' house, shot his wife, and rushed back here before your tests.
40:09But I didn't.
40:10I've never even met Grimes or his wife.
40:12Why would I want to kill her?
40:13You weren't aiming at her.
40:15It was Stephanie.
40:16You were having an affair with her.
40:17And that's why your wife left you, isn't it?
40:19When she left you for Todd, you were enraged.
40:22But the one thing you didn't know was that she had made herself over to look like Kim.
40:27You shot the wrong woman, Dave.
40:28That's not possible.
40:32I mean, think about it.
40:33You said it yourself, Jesse.
40:34I've just had major surgery.
40:35I'm in no condition to go anywhere.
40:37That's why you were sweating so much.
40:38You shouldn't have been walking around, but you were.
40:40You were right, Dad.
40:44Mr. Chambers owns a gun just like Stephanie's, and is consistent with a weapon that killed
40:48Kim Grimes.
40:49We know that Benchmark like their salespeople to carry weapons to protect themselves, so
40:53I had Steve check it out.
40:55This is a warrant to search your belongings.
40:56Don't bother.
41:02The gun is in my briefcase.
41:14You have the right to remain silent.
41:16Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
41:20I gave Stephanie everything I had to give, and once she had it, she just walked away from
41:26me like I was nothing.
41:28But I never meant to hurt Kim Grimes.
41:30God forgive me.
41:31I'm so sorry.
41:34Dave, what gave you the idea that Stephanie would be at Todd Grimes' house last night?
41:38She told me.
41:40She rubbed it in my face.
41:50Dave was set up.
41:52I think Stephanie planned for Dave to mistake Kim for her.
41:55I guess that's the real reason why she wanted to change her look.
41:58Well, if Kim out of the way, she figured she'd have Todd all to herself.
42:02Stephanie didn't actually pull the trigger, but she engineered the whole thing.
42:05I think we ought to let Todd know what really happened.
42:14Who's Todd?
42:15He's been bailed out.
42:16Well, that doesn't make sense.
42:18When I talked to him, he wasn't interested in bail.
42:20He'd practically given up.
42:21He didn't post the bail.
42:22Somebody else did.
42:24Stephanie Hitcher.
42:26What?
42:28Steve, Todd thinks that Stephanie killed his wife.
42:30If he let her bail him out, he did it just so he could kill her.
42:33I guess.
42:50If he'll do it then, if he'll stop.
42:51It was for the time to isso.
42:52Mm.
42:52I've been watching you reading reporter a lot with me, and thanks for reading.
42:53Wait a minute.
42:54I came to join the clock, he, what'd matter?
42:55It Nell?
42:56I'll take care of him.
42:58Hey everyone, where'd she have to выйти?
42:58Today it's in bed.
42:59I can't wait for you.
42:59It's in bed, but you really didn't definitely say to somebody that's not what they did.
43:00Oh, don't.
43:12I've missed you so much, I ache for you.
43:17I know you've been through a nightmare, baby, but it's over now.
43:22I'm here for you.
43:25And you are free.
43:30You killed my wife.
43:38No, Todd, please. You've got to believe me. I would never, ever do anything to hurt you.
43:45You loved me, and Kim was an obstacle, so you removed her.
43:50I didn't. I couldn't.
43:52Dave. Dave. We were involved. We were lovers, and I was trying to find a way to break it off, only he wouldn't let go.
44:02So I told him about us, thinking that maybe that would help end things, and he knew. He knew that I was going to see you later that night.
44:09And you looked just like Kim.
44:16Oh, my God.
44:20Oh, this couldn't have happened because of me.
44:23Not because I made the same mistake again.
44:28What mistake?
44:31Because I care so much about you.
44:36I just assumed that you cared about me, too.
44:38I love my wife.
44:48Ah!
44:50I forgive you for attacking me, and I come here with open arms.
44:55And this is how you thank me?
44:58With a gun?
44:59I didn't want Kim to die.
45:02Ugh!
45:03You're even weaker than the others.
45:06How could I have been so wrong about you?
45:08You're pathetic.
45:11Goodbye, Todd.
45:15Stephanie!
45:17Put the gun down.
45:19Now!
45:29I could have had it all.
45:46Let's have a look.
45:52He's bleeding out.
45:53His radial's cut.
45:55What are his vitals?
45:56BP's 90 over 60, rhythm of sinus.
45:58I'm tying off.
46:00Something's wrong with the ventilator.
46:01He's becoming hypoxic.
46:03I'm not stopping.
46:04You could risk cardiac arrest.
