01:00Adult female injured by falling masonry, lacerations, probable broken tibia and concussion, possible internal injuries.
01:07Give her a liter of black-headed ringers and get her to the CT stat.
01:11This sounds bad.
01:13It is.
01:14The latest estimate is 7.2% or somewhere downtown.
01:17Major structural damage?
01:18Old city blocks down, major casualties on the way.
01:20Yes, this is where our training pays off.
01:22Better set up a patient triage.
01:24I'll get out of here.
01:26Okay, I want an emergency triage set up in Trauma 3.
01:29Crash carts, IVs, hanging and ready, and nursing assignments for every patient, okay?
01:33Let's go.
01:34We're on the line.
01:35Attention all hospital personnel.
01:37This is Dr. Mike Sloan.
01:38The citywide disaster plan has been implemented.
01:41Repeat.
01:42The citywide disaster plan is underway.
01:45All designated personnel, please report to your invited.
01:49Use a hand here.
01:52Cut the call.
01:53Unconscious.
01:54Severe head trauma, possible internal injuries.
01:56Okay, red tag trauma one.
01:57Start an IV with lactated ringers on the way.
01:59No, stop.
02:00You'll be all right.
02:01Here's the doctor.
02:02Minor lacerations, fracture tibia, BP 120 over 68.
02:06How you doing?
02:06Any loss of consciousness or blackouts?
02:09Okay, yellow tag main ward.
02:11X-ray that leg now.
02:12Right away.
02:13Doctor, we've got four majors coming in behind these.
02:16Let's get on it.
02:17All right.
02:18Cause of death, massive trauma to the brain, results from a crushed skull.
02:22Anything you're not sure of, just flag it.
02:24We'll get a closer look later.
02:25You got it.
02:25All of that.
02:26Adult male trapped under falling rubble.
02:28He took a piece of rebar to the right chest.
02:30Okay, start him on ringers lactate and IV antibiotics.
02:33Hey, you're a miracle worker, Jess.
02:34I'm healed.
02:35All right, lay back, keep moaning, and then hold on to your chest wound.
02:37We got a red tag penetrating chest trauma.
02:40I want a chest tube in and call the OR.
02:41OR doesn't know this is a drill, right, Jess?
02:43Yes, hey, no.
02:44It's only a drill, right, Jess?
02:46Jess?
03:31I want to get a little help from you.
03:32Here's a nurse, an orderly, somebody.
03:34On my way.
03:35Maggie, please.
03:37On my count, one, two, three.
03:41Maggie, things are really starting to pile up here.
03:43I know.
03:43I've got five nurses out sick with the flu.
03:46And we can't leave the ward short-handed.
03:47And we can't pull this off without things.
03:49Maggie, could you come over here, please?
03:51Nurse Simon, call the ER.
03:53Nurse Simon, please call the ER.
03:54No sign of any trauma, just contusions and lacerations.
03:57Why is this lady red tag, green tag recovery?
04:00My nurses are doing the best they can.
04:02And you know how short-staffed I am today.
04:04I know.
04:04Just relax.
04:05We'll just have to keep things under control
04:06until the voluntary nurses get here, okay?
04:08Yes, okay.
04:09You call this under control?
04:11Aren't you supposed to have a hole in your chest?
04:12Apparently, I survived emergency surgery
04:14and can expect a full recovery.
04:15I'm not so sure about my shirt.
04:17What's next for you?
04:18Let's see.
04:20Unconscious, severe head and body trauma,
04:22severe internal injuries.
04:23Oh, I hate to say this,
04:25but I don't think we can help you on that one.
04:26That is cold.
04:27Well, there's triage.
04:29Let's see.
04:32Okay, yellow tag, but monitor the virus.
04:34Yes, doctor.
04:34I wonder what other fathers and sons do on their days off.
04:36Well, nothing as fun as this.
04:38IE nurse, call 2378.
04:40You can't do that.
04:42Well, I can, and I have.
04:44Corrine.
04:45She's pulling my nurses off the wards
04:47because we can't afford to blow this drill.
04:49Look, the patients will be fine
04:51as soon as the auxiliary nurses get here,
04:53which will be any minute now.
04:55Dr. Maggie's right.
04:56In the meantime, our real patients need real care.
04:58You went on the floor, Maggie.
05:00Excuse me.
05:02And in the meantime,
05:03I think our nursing administrator
05:04has more important duties to attend to.
05:07Well, I guess I do.
05:11Well, Dr. Sloan,
05:13I'll have to deduct points for failure
05:15to clearly define areas of responsibility.
05:17However, I can't give you several bonus points
05:20for administrative decisiveness.
05:22Well, can you give me a minute?
05:24I'm Doug Hanson, SD, DS,
05:27State Director of Disaster Services.
05:30I'm here to evaluate
05:31Community General's performance in this drill.
05:33Oh, uh, how do you think we're doing?
05:36This guy's red tagged.
05:37I tagged him 15 minutes ago.
05:38Why is he in surgery?
05:44You tell me, doctor,
05:46how do you think we're doing?
05:47Well, we're coming up speed.
05:49And doing it rapidly.
05:51Boy, hello, Doug.
05:52Good to see you.
05:53Ms. Hatcher.
05:55Glad to hear you're on top of things
05:57because, as we all know,
05:58if Community General fails to acquit itself well
06:00in this drill...
06:02We can kiss our emergency preparedness fund goodbye.
06:05State, federal, and city.
06:07Doug, won't that decision
06:09actually be up to the next director?
06:21I'm coming back, man.
06:22Take it easy, sir.
06:23He's out here.
06:24Oh.
06:25Broken arms, huh?
06:26It's no biggie.
06:27Let's, uh, yellow tag Mr. Cartwright
06:29and get him into radiology.
06:30What does that mean?
06:32Well, it means that your injury
06:33is not critical and that it can wait.
06:34Waiting is for the disenfranchised.
06:37Look at it this way, Mr. Cartwright.
06:38It'll give you a chance to really
06:39play that injury to the hilt.
06:44I mean, you know,
06:46of all the volunteers here,
06:48especially the board members,
06:49your performance really stands out.
06:52You think so?
06:53Oh, I know so.
06:54You make that broken arm come to life.
06:56Well, Dr. Travis,
06:57I did tread the boards a bit back in my Yale days.
07:00Wasn't half bad, either.
07:01Mr. Cartwright, you've still got it.
07:05Come on, Evans.
07:06You too, Sanders.
07:07We all have to do our part.
07:09Now moan and groan and emote.
07:12Oh.
07:13Oh.
07:14Oh.
07:16Oh.
07:17Oh.
07:19Oh.
07:23Okay, green tag and get him to x-ray.
07:26Dr. Sloan?
07:27Yes.
07:27We have a problem.
07:28It's Art Amador.
07:30Did he draw another picture of Corinne
07:31and put it on the door?
07:32With the drill and so many nurses out sick,
07:35somebody messed up
07:35and scheduled his fluorescein exam for this morning.
07:38Oh, boy.
07:40Go!
07:41Wait!
07:41Get out!
07:42Leave!
07:43It's all right.
07:44All right.
07:47All right.
07:48All right.
07:49Didn't I say morning's for my best time to work?
07:51The very best, yes.
07:54The only time the lights go.
07:56I said that, didn't I, right?
07:57Yes, you did, Art,
07:58but right now it's time.
07:59Yes, time.
08:00Time to work.
08:03No time for anything else.
08:05No time for tests.
08:06Time to work.
08:08I'm running out of time, right?
08:10Art, if you don't let us do
08:12this little fluorescein procedure.
08:13Procedure.
08:14Course.
08:15Plan of action.
08:16Yes, I have a plan.
08:17I plan to work.
08:19And I worked a plan.
08:21Dying anyway, doctor.
08:23Expiring.
08:24Extinguishing.
08:25My light is going out.
08:27Why worry now about going blind, right?
08:31Maybe you don't have to.
08:35Well, this man isn't artist, Dr. Sloan.
08:38You can't ask him to abandon this light.
08:40It's the only time of day
08:41when you get this subtle depth and shading.
08:44We can do the test right here, can't we?
08:46Yeah, of course we can.
08:47All we need is an eyedropper and a wood lamp.
08:50Now, why didn't I think of that?
08:51Because you're not an artist.
08:53Is she your friend?
08:55Nice.
08:56Too nice to be a real nurse, right?
08:58Yes, this is Adele Botsford, Art,
09:00and you're right.
09:00She's an auxiliary nurse.
09:02She's here to help us with our drill today.
09:04Okay.
09:05Okay.
09:07Time for a break.
09:08Time to do it.
09:10I'll do it.
09:11If she stays, yes?
09:14Okay.
09:16All right, you just get comfortable,
09:18and I'll be right back.
09:20Nice save.
09:21You mean I still haven't lost my touch?
09:23You invented the touch, Adele.
09:25I'm sorry you haven't left.
09:26Oh, so am I, Mark.
09:27Oh, so am I.
09:32Incoming!
09:34Probable hemothorax.
09:35BP-50 pal pulse ready.
09:37Okay, red tag and hold.
09:38I'm hopeless, huh?
09:39You feel better knowing you were a tough call?
09:41Red tag and hold.
09:42Let's go, let's go.
09:43Move it, please.
09:43Move it, move it.
09:44Move it.
09:50Hold it.
09:51We're not expecting any new majors to misplace the drill.
09:54Corinne Hatcher okayed it.
09:55Told dispatch we could handle it.
09:56Well, we can't.
09:57I told her we can't.
10:00She's just trying to make me look bad.
10:05Maggie!
10:10Bad enough, the chemo zapped my hair.
10:12Zapped my beard.
10:14Not to mention my good looks, yes?
10:16Yes.
10:17Now it's going to eat my eyes, right?
10:20Well, that's not likely, but we do have to make sure.
10:23Of course, yes.
10:25Certainly, I understand.
10:27But tell me how.
10:30We'll use a fluorescein dye, Art.
10:32Won't hurt?
10:33No.
10:34It's not even visible under normal light, but it'll glow green under this wood lamp.
10:37And it helps the doctor see if you have any cracks or tears in your cornea.
10:42Cracks or tears?
10:43Blood and sweat, high and low.
10:46Please hurry, right?
10:47I have my work to do.
10:49My work.
10:51Nurse Hilliard and Dr. Steinberg having a little conference out in the hall.
10:55That's not bad.
10:55But it's how I live, down on the boardwalk.
11:00You draw for people?
11:02Oh, that's wonderful.
11:03I like faces.
11:06Happy faces, angry faces, old faces, young faces.
11:10Faces in places and ways I've never seen before.
11:14I've drawn thousands of faces.
11:16So many more to do.
11:18I've got to get back to it.
11:19Back to my work.
11:21Mrs. Botsford?
11:23Well, I didn't realize we were recruiting help from the retirement home.
11:28And I didn't realize you were still on staff.
11:30I'm so glad you got past that incident with the mixed-up charts, the patient overdose.
11:36You were expected on Ward C half an hour ago.
11:39Ah, she's helping me, Corinne.
11:42Well, she doesn't belong here.
11:44All of the auxiliary nurses have been assigned to ward duty.
11:47It is critical to this drill that everyone be where they're supposed to be when they're supposed to be there.
11:54Go ahead.
11:55I can finish up here.
11:57See you later, Art.
12:00Mean face.
12:02Mean face.
12:03Doctor, isn't this patient doing ophthalmology?
12:05It's the morning.
12:07Tell her it's the morning.
12:08Time to work.
12:09Corinne?
12:12Dr. Sloan, I overstepped.
12:15I'm sorry, I know.
12:16But this drill is so important.
12:18Not as important as my patients.
12:21Excuse me, Doctor, but your patient is an indigent charity case who quite honestly belongs at County.
12:26Now, what should our priorities be, huh?
12:29Catering to his idiosyncrasies or saving this hospital?
12:40Would you mind putting this up on my door?
12:44I don't think so, Art.
12:46I like the fangs, though.
12:51Okay, Mr. Cartwright, I'm gonna set this arm properly.
12:54Ow! Ow!
12:56Too much, huh?
12:57No, you just surprised me, that's all.
13:00Well, let's try it again from the top.
13:01Having trouble with this patient, Doctor?
13:04I don't know if he sits back.
13:06Oh, I'm sure he'll cooperate.
13:08Peyton is a team player.
13:10That's how he got where he is today.
13:11I don't think this is the time.
13:13And that's how I got where I am.
13:15With a little help from my friends.
13:17Friends like Peyton.
13:20And we are friends, aren't we?
13:23Yes, good friends.
13:25You know what I want.
13:27And you're gonna get it for me.
13:29Before I do some real damage.
13:31I already have a broken arm.
13:34Well, what about, uh, broken reputation?
13:39Wow.
13:42I don't suppose you could prescribe something to kill a real pain, could you?
14:06You all right?
14:08Nothing in a few dozen cups of coffee won't cure.
14:11Maybe you should have one of the doctors take a look at you.
14:13No, no.
14:14Really, I'm fine.
14:16It's just been a tough couple of days getting ready for this drill.
14:20All I need is coffee.
14:24And an IV.
14:30Dr. Travis, can I see you for a moment?
14:33Yeah, yeah.
14:34What do you need?
14:34I have a patient who needs immediate attention.
14:37Okay.
14:46I've wanted to do that all day.
14:48What a coincidence.
14:49I've wanted you to do that to me all day.
14:55We never seem to get enough time together.
14:57I know.
14:58But that is all gonna end this weekend.
15:01There's nothing that's gonna get between us except room service.
15:04Yeah, but Carmel is a good six hours away, and that's if we don't stop.
15:10Oh, and we will.
15:11A lot.
15:18How soon can we get out of here?
15:20Well, the drill ends in two hours.
15:21We can be on the road by six, and then Carmel just in time for a midnight walk in the
15:25sand.
15:26Why waste time on a walk?
15:28Oh.
15:36Oh.
15:38Oh.
15:39No.
15:40This can't be happening.
15:41Not now.
15:42What is it?
15:43It's my luck.
15:44They need us back in the ER right now.
16:00Okay.
16:03No mystery here.
16:04Major blood force trauma to the chest.
16:06I want you to take the body down to the temporary morgue.
16:07Okay?
16:08Thanks.
16:10Eddie, have you seen the chart on this deceased?
16:13Mm-mm.
16:14All right.
16:38Corinne had your murder?
16:40Bludgeon to death, and somehow her body ended up in my pathology lab.
16:43I was just getting used to being a patient.
16:46Who would do such a thing, and why?
16:48Why, I don't know, but we may have an edge in finding out who.
16:51It took several blows to kill Corinne, and the murderer must be splattered with blood.
16:56Then again, we're all splattered with blood, aren't we?
16:58Fake blood, anyway.
17:00All of us.
17:00Doctors, nurses, orderlies, drill patients.
17:03Guys, we got two ambulances pulling up and three more on the way.
17:06Jesse don't understand.
17:07No, no, no.
17:07I thought the drill's gonna have to take back safety.
17:09This isn't a drill anymore.
17:10There's been a real disaster.
17:12An MTA tunnel collapsed downtown all the way to Wilshire Station.
17:15We got a dozen hot ones on the way, and this is just the first wave.
17:18Is that in coming?
17:19Let's go.
17:19Let's go.
17:20There's three trucks.
17:21Is your neck hurt, head, the pain?
17:27Now, can you hear me?
17:29She's going into shock.
17:30Cover her up.
17:30Let's run the ringers wide open.
17:32I want to cross the type of four units.
17:33No sensations, radial, median, or ulnar.
17:35No pulses.
17:36We gave him 500 of ringers as a bolus.
17:38Crits already down to 32.5.
17:40Type and cross has been sent.
17:41X-ray's waiting.
17:42Get him to OR.
17:43Our surgeons are the best son.
17:45They'll save that hand.
17:46Okay, let's get him to OR, too.
17:48You still keeping score?
17:51COVID, code blue.
17:53No offense, Mr. Hanson.
17:54Right now, your drill isn't the last thing on my mind.
17:56Get him over here.
17:58Get him to triage.
17:59Yeah, we got it.
18:00Let's get a crash cart over here.
18:01Hurry it up.
18:01I got the cart.
18:02One gram of epinephrine, 100 light it came.
18:04Gram epi, 100 light out.
18:06Careful, careful.
18:09There's a course V-5.
18:11I can shock that.
18:16Charged.
18:18Clear.
18:18Clear.
18:20Trauma 3 coming in.
18:21Massive blood loss.
18:22What have you got?
18:23Gerter fell on a construction worker.
18:25Cut his leg off below the knee.
18:26He's lost a lot of blood.
18:27You have the leg?
18:28Here it is.
18:29All right, I need Maggie Demi.
18:30I need a nurse here now.
18:31Demi!
18:31I used to be a practicing nurse.
18:33I've kept my license current.
18:34You're hired.
18:34Put that leg on ice.
18:35Right away.
18:35Okay, crossing type, CBC, 8 units of tax cells, 4 liters ringers.
18:39And let's get a surgeon down here right away.
18:40All right, call the blood bank.
18:42We need to get a red top.
18:43Go, go, go, go, go.
18:44Push.
18:45He's going in to be safe.
18:47All right, 100 milligrams light it came.
18:49Better light out.
18:49George Jules.
18:51Go.
18:53Charge 200.
18:54Charge.
18:55Clear.
18:55Clear.
18:57Get back.
18:58Normal rhythm.
18:59L's 112.
19:00Thank God.
19:02Maintaining L12.
19:03Oya amputation below the knee of bilateral hemothorax.
19:06He's been intubated.
19:07I administered 100 milligrams of lidocaine.
19:08Nice work, Amanda.
19:09Thanks for the assist.
19:10Sure.
19:10I wasn't alone.
19:11It's going to be the OR.
19:17I'm Andrew Bentley.
19:19Adele Botsford.
19:21Uh, Botsford.
19:23Any relation to Alan Botsford, the cardiologist?
19:26I was his wife before he traded me in on a younger model.
19:29I'm sorry.
19:31Easy come, easy go.
19:34Dr. Travis?
19:37Okay, get Mrs. Clavirius to radiology right away.
19:42Excuse me, Dr. Travis.
19:44Here's that shark.
19:46Nice.
19:52Think we can still get out of here tonight?
19:54How many disasters can we have in one day?
19:59I can't wait to get to Carmel.
20:01I can't wait to get to the car.
20:03Six hours alone with you.
20:05No patients, no pagers, just you and me.
20:09And lots of rest stops.
20:30Maggie?
20:32What?
20:33People were getting worried.
20:35Wondering where you were.
20:38It's a funny place for the head nurse.
20:41Especially just now.
20:44It would be even funnier if I was going to stay on as head nurse.
20:49I'm sitting here seriously considering leaving.
20:55Well, that's funny too.
20:58As my father always said, you pegged as one of the best.
21:01I am.
21:03And I have been since I graduated nursing school.
21:09And then?
21:09And then, and then, Corinne Hatcher.
21:14She isn't even a nurse.
21:17I am a nurse.
21:21She's just a bitch.
21:23She just walks over people to get what she wants.
21:29Like the nursing administrator's job?
21:34You hang around a hospital, you hear things.
21:37So, that job should have been mine.
21:45You sound like you really hate Corinne.
21:48Maybe enough to kill her.
21:53I hated my math teacher.
21:56He's still alive and well and teaching in Boston.
22:03I'm missing something.
22:08Somebody murdered Corinne Hatcher.
22:11Pashed her head in.
22:16James.
22:22Wow.
22:26I'm not surprised.
22:28She had such a way with people.
22:33What about you?
22:35Where were you during the past hour?
22:38Here.
22:39The hiding, mostly.
22:45What?
22:46You want me to call my lawyer?
22:48How are you going to arrest me?
22:51Not for hiding.
22:57Look, uh...
22:58We can talk more about this later.
23:01Right now, they're going to need every nursing get down at Triage.
23:04You know, this is not a drill anymore, Maggie.
23:07What?
23:08It's real.
23:11I know that matters to you.
23:22Okay, I'll go 3-5 on the Picasso.
23:24Now, what about the Beckman?
23:26Yes, I know it's ugly.
23:28All my Beckmans are ugly, but they're terrific investments.
23:31Now, what I want you to do is to...
23:32I'm sorry, Mr. Carver, but we need this room.
23:34We have a real emergency.
23:35Why didn't you just say so?
23:38I'm sorry.
23:39This thing is heavier than it looks.
23:41I know, these splints are pretty solid, and you can really give somebody a good whack with one, huh?
23:45Yeah, I can think of a couple of people I'd like to give a good whack.
23:48Like Corinne Hatcher.
23:49Well, that was a personal matter.
23:51Real personal.
23:52I mean, if the rumors are true.
23:54Well, you know, that she slept with you to get the nursing administrator's job.
23:57You're pretty cocky for a resident.
23:59A resident, board member.
24:01When it comes to murder, we're all equal in the eyes of the law.
24:05Corinne's dead.
24:07Murdered?
24:10Look, the only thing I'm guilty of is allowing Corinne to manipulate me into giving her what should have been
24:15Maggie Deming's job,
24:16which unfortunately didn't stop there.
24:19Corinne wanted more.
24:20Doug Hanson's job.
24:21State director of disaster services.
24:24And you were going to help her.
24:25You heard, Corinne.
24:26Did it sound like I had a choice?
24:31Okay, in just about a minute now, you're going to feel a lot better.
24:35And don't worry, you're going to be fine.
24:44Any more?
24:45That's it.
24:46That's it?
24:47Well, the last two were DOA.
24:48Sent them straight to pathology.
24:51Well, then, that's it.
24:53Well, for now.
24:55I mean, there are still people buried in that tunnel.
24:57Which means it's going to get very crazy around here again very soon.
25:03You know, I sent Adele Botsford to check a green tag.
25:06I mean, it was nothing serious.
25:07I'll go check on her.
25:09Thanks.
25:18It's all right, Dana.
25:20You can go home if you want to.
25:21We have a covered here.
25:24Family crisis?
25:26A fashion crisis.
25:27A patient threw up on her new Ferragamo shoes.
25:29Well, at $1,000 a pop, I'd cry, too.
25:32She can afford a new pair of shoes, Ferragamo or otherwise.
25:37Unless her husband feels the need for a nice young trophy wife.
25:41Adele, you do good work.
25:43You know, without you down in the OR today, we could have lost that patient.
25:46We could really use you around here.
25:48If that's a job offer, I'll take it.
25:52Prospects are not great for RNs that are 15 years behind the times.
25:56Oh, couldn't be that bad.
25:57Come on.
25:58Oh, what?
25:58That I was married to a cardiologist with enough money to buy Kansas?
26:01Well, yeah.
26:03How about not a better lawyer?
26:05I got some artwork, a couple of Beckmans, antique china, and the SL.
26:14It could be worse.
26:15I got the Flintstone glasses and the Volvo.
26:18That is worse.
26:21Forgive me for prying, but gossip has it that Alan's affair with Corinna is what broke the two of you
26:26up.
26:27That and his affair with Cindy and Evelyn, Jennifer and Betty.
26:34Well, Corinne Hatcher won't be breaking up any more marriages.
26:38I found her body in my path lab.
26:40She's been murdered.
26:46Well, if they also find Jennifer, Cindy, Evelyn and Betty dead, I'm your killer.
26:59I think we can upgrade Mr. Reeves to a green tag.
27:02Give him three milligrams of morphine for the paint and take him to x-ray.
27:06We'll talk after I see the film.
27:08Any luck?
27:09Corinne Hatcher was last seen on the fourth floor headed toward a meeting with Doug Hanson,
27:13who seems to have dropped out of sight.
27:15You know, that's interesting because according to Peyton Cartwright,
27:18Hanson was Corinne's next target.
27:20At least his job was.
27:21Well, Hanson's got to be around here someplace, right?
27:23Well, he didn't get past security.
27:25What about Maggie Deming?
27:26I haven't seen her since the drill.
27:27She's okay, but don't count on her showing up anytime soon.
27:30She counts herself as one of Corinne's victims, psychologically speaking.
27:34Well, Corinne had a lot of victims, psychologically speaking.
27:37Amen.
27:38Dr. Sloan, I am really sorry to bother you,
27:41but we're moving some of the less critical patients to make room for the red tags.
27:46And you need someone to help you with, all right?
27:48Well, you are the only one that seems to be able to handle him.
27:51It's that bedside manner of yours, Dad.
27:53It's a blessing.
27:54Such a blessing.
27:57All right.
27:59Dr. Sloan, sorry to...
28:03He's code blue.
28:04I'll get a crash cart.
28:05No need, nurse.
28:07He's gone.
28:16He's cyanotic, blue lips and skin, cutaneous hemorrhaging of the cheeks, also hemorrhaging
28:21of the retinas.
28:23Yeah, and the fibers from the pillow were visible in his mouth and his throat.
28:27In other words, he was suffocated.
28:29Poor Art probably didn't have much of a chance to fight back.
28:32He was so weak from that chemotherapy.
28:34Why would anybody want to kill this man?
28:37Is this the same guy?
28:38Art Amador?
28:39That's Art before the chemotherapy.
28:41Oh.
28:42Well, $18 and a bus pass.
28:45Something tells me that robbery wasn't the motive here.
28:48What if the murderer didn't have a motive, or at least one we could understand?
28:52First Corrine and then Art.
28:54Could be we're dealing with a serial killer.
28:55I don't think so, because then the method and the victim would have been a little more
28:59consistent.
29:00Could be we're talking two killers.
29:01Maybe the murders aren't related at all.
29:04Well, I think maybe they are.
29:05Look at this.
29:07Maybe Art was killed because of something he saw.
29:10Like Corrine Hatcher's murder.
29:23Got some bloodstains over here.
29:26And I have got a stainless steel picture with blood and hair on it.
29:30But you know that it will turn out to be Corrine Hatcher's.
29:33I'll be in pathology.
29:36So, maybe Corrine was on her rounds, counted one of her victims.
29:40They got in an argument.
29:41She was murdered in here, and Art saw the whole thing from across the hall.
29:48Killer rushed over there, took care of Art, and then came back in here and moved Corrine's
29:52body to the path lab.
29:53So, we wouldn't make a connection between the two deaths.
29:57You know, the terrible fact is, if I had just let Corrine send Art to the county...
30:01Dad, you were just trying to help the man.
30:03You couldn't have known this was going to happen.
30:06Well, it doesn't look like we're going to get a lot of time to dwell on it anyway.
30:10Trauma team to the ER, may one.
30:12Trauma team to the ER, may one.
30:1730-degree burns on the torso, extending from waist to neck, breathing ragged.
30:20Between 90 over 50.
30:22Pupils dilated.
30:23Can you take a look over here?
30:24Nurse!
30:24Need a nurse in here!
30:26Dr. Sloan.
30:28Will I do?
30:29You bet, Maggie.
30:31Lactated ringers, wide open, CBC, lights, type, and cross, and get them into the burn
30:36unit, stat.
30:37You got it.
30:38Maggie?
30:38Get back.
30:39You're back.
30:44The hair and blood are a definite match to Corrine Hatcher's.
30:48Fingerprints?
30:48Just talcum powder.
30:49Probably residue from a pair of surgical gloves, which doesn't help us.
30:53Surgical gloves are easy to find in a hospital.
30:55But Doug Hansen isn't.
30:57He still hasn't turned up.
30:58Well, when you finally track him down, maybe we'll get some answers.
31:01I hope so, because I'll have a whole new set of questions.
31:03It just came in from the DMV.
31:06Art's ID was phony?
31:07Before he turned up in Venice ten years ago, Art Amador didn't even exist.
31:11Well, there must be some record of him somewhere.
31:13If he faxes prints to NCIC, they might have something on him.
31:16So I guess we wait.
31:17I'm going to keep looking for Doug Hansen.
31:19You think Hansen's our killer?
31:21Or our third victim.
31:33Watch it.
31:35Sergeant.
31:56Oh, hey.
31:58Not a chance.
32:03Give him a gram of acetaminophen and keep that saline going.
32:08So was he poisoned?
32:10Drugged?
32:11Flu.
32:12Flu?
32:12Flu.
32:13To be exact, he has a new serotype that's been going around.
32:16Why didn't you tell somebody you were sick?
32:18Why did you even come to work?
32:19I mean, can't you get somebody to cover for you?
32:21Right.
32:22I could be collecting unemployment in two weeks.
32:26What do you mean?
32:28Corinne Hatcher is what I mean.
32:30She slept with Peyton Cartwright and God knows who else trying to get my job.
32:35I hung in as long as I could until I had to find a quiet place to pass out, leaving
32:42center stage to Corinne.
32:44Well, she took center stage, all right.
32:46Right after a big death scene.
32:48Corinne Hatcher was killed.
32:50Murdered.
32:53I'm certainly feeling a whole lot better.
32:59Next time we have a disaster drill, I vote we don't have a real disaster at the same time.
33:04Along with a double murder.
33:05An unsolved double murder.
33:08Well, at least we can eliminate one suspect.
33:11We know that Doug Hanson was too weak to smother or bludgeon anyone.
33:15He is now, but a couple of hours ago, who knows?
33:18And he said he lost his coat somewhere in the hospital.
33:20What if he got rid of it?
33:21Yeah, probably to cover the fact that it was covered with Corinne's blood.
33:26Okay.
33:26Then put Hanson back in the question mark category.
33:30Along with several hundred other possible suspects.
33:32Everybody in the hospital, to be exact.
33:34Hope you've got some good news.
33:35If only.
33:36I got a match for Art's fingerprints from NCIC.
33:39That's not good news?
33:40Well, it should be, but it isn't.
33:42According to NCIC, Art Amador is dead.
33:45I know that.
33:47Did you know he's been dead for 12 years?
33:58The man we knew as Arthur Amador was really Martin Spencer Beckman.
34:02Wait a minute.
34:02I think I've heard of him.
34:03He was an artist.
34:04A famous and eccentric artist.
34:06Twelve years ago, he sailed out to sea and disappeared.
34:08Yeah, I read about that.
34:10All he left was a suicide note.
34:11And a handful of paintings.
34:12Each one worth millions.
34:16I got a cousin, Chico.
34:17His wife has a gallery in Santa Monica.
34:19How many cousins do you have?
34:22First or second.
34:23Do you think Art was really Beckman?
34:25I mean, why would a guy that successful want to live like a bum?
34:28Well, his lifestyle probably wasn't a choice.
34:30He was severely schizophrenic.
34:32Schizophrenic or not, he pulled off a pretty effective disappearance.
34:37As long as nobody recognized him.
34:39Look at this.
34:40This is the way Beckman looked when he was famous.
34:42Then when he disappeared, he grew a long hair and a beard.
34:45Which he lost, thanks to the chemo.
34:47And started looking like the old Beckman again.
34:50Someone recognized him?
34:51Someone who realized he had been alive all these years drawing portraits of tourists down on the Venice boardwalk.
34:56Wow.
34:57By now, those Beckmans must be as common as stop signs.
35:00Well, if that ever got out the value of his old paintings, we'd go down and fast.
35:04Sounds like a motive for murder.
35:05Especially to a wealthy art collector.
35:09That's right.
35:10We've had it backwards all along.
35:12Corinne was not the intended victim.
35:15She witnessed Ars murder.
35:16It's possible.
35:18The time of death is a wash.
35:20Either victim could have been killed first.
35:22The question is, who would know enough about expensive artwork to recognize Martin Spencer Beckman?
35:27Much less want to kill him.
35:29Well, there is one person.
35:34Impossible.
35:35Beckman drowned 12 years ago.
35:37The story's as famous as Van Gogh's ear.
35:40No, for the past 12 years, Beckman's been in Venice working on his craft.
35:44Alive and working?
35:45Yep.
35:46But according to Jesse's cousin's wife, both the artist and his work will have to be completely reappraised.
35:51Oh, God, this is a disaster.
35:53Really?
35:54Worse than October of 87 and 97 combined.
35:58I better call my broker and dump my Beckman's before the bottom drops out.
36:02What happens when the buyers find out that their painting is worth a lot less than they paid you for
36:06them?
36:06Oh, they'll regain their value eventually.
36:08Eventually could take years.
36:10Which is a very good reason to sell now and buy later.
36:13It's even a better reason to commit murder.
36:17I'll call my lawyer after I'm done with my broker.
36:20Do you have a quarter, please?
36:23It's 35 cents.
36:27Cartwright's lawyer was very specific.
36:29Charge my client or leave him alone.
36:31We don't have enough evidence to charge him.
36:33Cartwright and his lawyer must be happy about that.
36:34Mark?
36:35Yeah.
36:36Mark, we're going to be in big trouble if they keep sending us new majors.
36:39Our blood supply is down to zero.
36:41Okay, call Sacramento and ask them for pack sales via Medivac.
36:44We don't have time to wait for Medivac.
36:46We'll start losing patients before they get here.
36:47Okay, put out a call for more volunteer donors.
36:49I already did.
36:50They're on their way.
36:51Good girl.
36:52Well, solving a murder is hard enough under normal circumstances.
36:55In the middle of all this chaos.
36:57Well, we have isolated a few suspects.
36:59We have.
37:00Out of the hundreds of possibles we have today, Maggie Deming and Doug Hanson stand out.
37:06Along with Peyton Cartwright.
37:07Well, the problem is Maggie and Hanson both may have wanted Corinne dead,
37:10but neither of them had any connection to art.
37:12Not that we've found yet, but I've got people checking on both their backgrounds.
37:15Well, I just hope to find something before we're on time.
37:18Which way did the blood drive?
37:20Uh, my guess would be the triage.
37:22Well, I hope I don't scare the med techs.
37:24I'm already a bloody mess.
37:26That's it.
37:27That's what?
37:29Blood, stains, dirt.
37:30That's the clue we need.
37:36Okay, so you found art here in the bed with his sketchbook, right?
37:41Apparently he was drawing when he was attacked.
37:42He still had a piece of charcoal in his hand.
37:45Exactly.
37:45But a little piece of charcoal.
37:47And maybe it didn't start out that way.
37:52Now, maybe art fought back.
37:58With this.
38:00Okay, the killer comes in, stands on this side of the bed, and smothers art.
38:05I see what you're getting at.
38:07As weak as art was, he would have tried to fight off his attacker.
38:10Right, but that's when he broke the charcoal.
38:12And marked his killer.
38:14See?
38:15I mean, all we have to do is match the charcoal to the black streak.
38:19You mean on the lab jacket like this one?
38:21Look here.
38:22That's coffee from this morning.
38:23This is a grease stain I think I got from a gurney.
38:26And this, I think, is charcoal I actually got when I gave Artie's eye exam.
38:30And every jacket and uniform in this hospital probably has smudges and stains just like those.
38:35All right, so I guess my great idea wasn't that great.
38:37No, Jesse, you're on to something, all right?
38:40Art marked his killer, but not the way you think he did.
39:01Wow, five o'clock, Mr. Cartwright.
39:02You're right on time.
39:03I'm never late for an appointment, especially when it's about removing a hot, uncomfortable fiberglass splint.
39:09Well, you know, unfortunately, you're going to have to keep that on for just a little bit longer.
39:12Our impromptu blood drive here is kind of run over schedule.
39:16Look out there.
39:17What do we got?
39:18Severe facial trauma, BP stable, heartbeat regular.
39:22Okay, start on my lactated ringers.
39:23I want an IV antibiotics, Maggie.
39:25Some florezine.
39:26I want to check for corneal damage.
39:28Adele, wood's lamp, please.
39:35Okay.
39:35Mr. Cartwright, would you please turn off the lights?
39:46I don't know how you did it, Maggie, but you got that dye all over me.
39:49No.
39:51No, I didn't.
39:56That was inert saline that Maggie put in the patient's eyes, not florezine.
40:01As a matter of fact, there was only one administration of florezine in the entire hospital today.
40:06Which was used on a chemotherapy patient suffering from possible corneal damage.
40:12Art, I must have stained my uniform when you gave him the test.
40:17You left the room long before I broke the seal on that florezine container, Adele.
40:22Got those stains somewhere else when you killed Art Amador.
40:26A.K.A.
40:27Martin Beckman.
40:32I don't know what this is all about, but it's not very funny.
40:37Murder rarely is.
40:40You can't actually believe I had any reason to kill that art person.
40:44You had a few million reasons, Adele.
40:46Your husband left you with no cash settlement.
40:49All you had was a few art pieces.
40:51Beckman's, right?
40:54Right.
40:56There's no crime in owning Beckman's, is there?
40:58Well, it is a crime to murder the man who painted them.
41:01When you saw Beckman in his room today, you recognized him.
41:04If word got out he was alive, your Beckman's would have dropped in value overnight.
41:08Which drove you to a drastic decision.
41:11You smothered Art.
41:13And in the process, you got some traces of florezine residue on your clothes,
41:16along with some smudges of large charcoal.
41:20Corinne Hatcher was unlucky enough to catch you in the act.
41:24He took the water picture from his room and chased her into the room across the hall.
41:30You know what happened after that?
41:32Oh, my God, you're trying to trick me.
41:35You have no proof.
41:37We have all the proof we need.
41:39In trying to defend himself, Art got florezine stains on your uniform.
41:43I'm sure we'll find florezine stains on the handle of that water pitcher you used to kill Corinne.
41:48Then there's that smudge from Art's charcoal.
41:51And if that's not enough, we'll no doubt find Corinne's blood on your clothes.
42:04Alan and I went to all of Beckman's openings.
42:08When he disappeared, I actually cried.
42:11I worshipped the man.
42:14His talent.
42:15And when I saw him this morning...

42:28You have to understand how I felt after Alan betrayed me.
42:35And Corinne, my good friend...
42:40He left me with nothing.
42:43I didn't have a choice.
42:47You had a choice.
