Critical Condition (1987) - full transcript

Kevin Lennihan is a con artist. But this time he's framed and comes before a judge. By claiming insanity, he hopes to get off the hook. He manages to end up in a hospital on Governors Island, in New York Harbor for a mental examination. That night, a storm breaks out over the area, and the electricity to the hospital is broken. In the ensuing chaos that follows, Kevin is taken for a doctor, Eddie Slattery. Suddenly, he is in charge of a whole hospital.

You need

an inflata-date?

No, man. I'm here

on a business deal.

Do I look like I belong

in a place like this?

Can't you see

I don't belong here?

I can't see shit.

Oh.

Hey, I'm sorry.

Hey, I love you, brother.

No sweat.

Has she got big ones

or little ones?

Big.

Very big.

Only...

she's not a she.

Jeez.

I need scratch and sniff

on these things.

Keep scratching

and sniffing.

Doing a little business

with the loan shark?

Don't-Don't--

Hey, blindy. I'm

a legitimate businessman.

I'm here to do business

with Mr. Palazzi,

real estate,

if he'll finance my deal.

Laughed at you

at the bank?

Yeah. There was some laughter,

but that didn't bother me.

The spitting bothered me.

But they didn't have dildos

laying around the desk.

Lennihan!

Yo!

The man

will see you...now.

Yeah. That's me.

I'm on. Bye.

Hey, man, look cool.

Take some shades.

I don't want no shades.

Just take the smokes.

I don't want no smokes.

I'll keep the cigarettes

if that'll keep you

off my ass.

How do I look?

How the fuck

should I know?

The best part

of this whole bargain

is for

$50,000 down payment,

I get the whole building,

and I open my cineplex.

32 theaters, huh?

18 seats

in each theater,

but that's not

the good part.

Check this.

Look.

Dolby sound.

I don't know anything

about that.

Hey, it doesn't

matter anyway.

I'll tell you

what does matter.

If you manage

to open this cineplex,

not that I give a shit,

I will own 75%

of all the concessions

and 100% of all

the vending machines.

Now, the interest

on 50,000 is 100,000.

If you don't pay me

150,000 within one year,

we're going to collect

your collateral.

That's why

I come to you.

I'm not stupid. I didn't

go to E.F. Hutton.

I don't have

any collateral.

You're standing

on your collateral.

My legs?

John has

something for you.

John?

Now,

there's a little favor

we want from you.

Our business has been

experiencing some,

uh, setbacks recently.

Consequently, there's

a lot of heat on us,

and our people are

being watched closely.

So we'd appreciate it

if you would just

take this package

to California for us.

S-S-Something

for the little lady?

Lennihan, I got some

advice for you, hmm?

Don't be a jerk-off.

[Hoarsely]

Well, I am a jerk-off.

I'm certainly

not a bag man.

[Click]

Do I look

like a bag man?

The best in the country.

Yes! I will deliver

these diamonds for you.

You got no problem

with that?

No. I got no problem.

I'm ju-- a little tense.

I recently quit smoking.

I'm starting again

because it helps

relieve the tension.

I'm so tense right now

you could open a beer bottle

cap from my asshole.

I am talking tense.

What the hell's that?

He's got a fucking wire.

Wire? What--

Police! Drop them!

Nobody move!

Freeze!

Don't try it!

Jeez!

Aah!

Hold it! Don't move!

Don't move!

You're a cop!

Not even a blind cop.

Fuck. Hey,

what are you--

You set me up,

Lennihan.

No. I thought he was

a blind pervert!

I didn't know

he was a cop.

You're fucking dead,

Lennihan!

No, pal. You're

the one that's dead!

They caught you with

a bag full of diamonds

and money!

They caught you red-handed.

Holy shit.

Can we talk?

[Cell Door Clangs]

Kevin?

You talked

to the judge, right?

You explained everything's

a big misunderstanding.

I'm going to take

you and Julie to dinner.

Kevin, I tried everything.

I didn't make a plea.

I begged for mercy.

You're going to

have to do a year.

Let's go.

A year?

This is

my first offense.

Couldn't you

get me probation?

I'll do social work.

Hey, how about this?

I'll cook for

runaway teenage girls.

I never said a word

about any

of your harebrained

schemes before,

not even

your offshore

shopping mall.

I thought

that was foolproof.

I had to do it.

I needed the money

for a down payment

on my cineplex.

The feds have been

looking for Palazzi

for years.

I should get a reward.

It was my stupidity

that got him busted.

You're sick.

You're really sick.

Hey, Lennihan.

Wait a minute, Harris.

10 years, no parole,

because of you.

I'll be in the machine shop

with my associates

waiting for you.

You're dead, Lennihan.

See you in the shower.

Ha ha ha!

Watch the shoulder.

Move it. Move it.

Mr. Lennihan,

please rise.

I'm asking you

these questions

to make sure

you understand

the consequences

of your guilty plea.

Are you currently taking

any medication or drugs

that might

impair your judgment

in entering

this guilty plea,

or are you suffering

from any mental illnesses?

That's it.

What?

Plead insanity.

You're not crazy, Kevin,

you're just pathologically

irresponsible.

You know that,

and I know that.

Mr. Lennihan, did you

understand the question?

Mr. Lennihan,

did you understand

the question,

you piece

of pig fuck?

Did you understand

the question?

Kevin!

Answer the question!

This man

stole my money!

He wanted us

to invest

in offshore

supermarkets!

You think

you're slick

talking to a judge

like that.

He's been under

a lot of stress.

You're cheating

with my wife,

humping her

in my car!

And you, you slut.

You can't mask this.

You got

brown babies at home.

I'm looking

for justice.

Bailiff.

There's justice

and injustice!

Bailiff!

I'm part

of the justice

because

I'm not just.

Bailiff.

No! Ah ha ha ha!

Get away!

Everybody

get away from him!

Order!

That's not bad.

My client seems

to have had a breakdown.

This is absolutely

ludicrous.

The court must show

compassion in this case.

All right.

I'll remand your client

over to psychiatric

observation for 21 days.

But if in that time

his insanity isn't

established conclusively,

he'll start serving

his sentence immediately.

Now what

do you see there?

Uh, my first grade teacher

after I cut her throat.

Uh, she was a bitch.

That's me

drinking her blood.

I put my hand in it.

Made a print

on the wall.

Thank you.

I didn't think

I'd ever see her again.

Do you want me to call

the security guard

again?

Oh, no.

Please, not yet.

[Unzips Pants]

Mr. Lennihan.

Hmm?

Mr. Lennihan!

Hmm?

Oh, please.

Can I keep this card?

No. I don't think so.

Ooh, just a minute.

Just a minute.

Ooh! Heh heh!

Ahh.

Oh.

Ahh.

Ahh.

Ahh. Ahh.

Thank you,

Mr. Lennihan.

Hey, I'm crazy, right?

Hey, come on.

Crazy!

Sit down. It's

hospital rules.

I know.

So?

I think she's going

to send me to prison.

I don't think

she bought it.

I thought

we had her this time.

She's seen

a lot of scams.

We have to invent

a new approach

to insanity.

I was in there

trying to wank off.

I believe she was

wanking off, too.

Police chopper 43

to Empire General Hospital.

You sure it's safe

to land on the island?

Yes, but head back A.S.A.P.

Storm's building fast.

The big story

is Hurricane Sam,

a storm roaring

up the coast,

headed straight

for the Big Apple.

Traffic advisories

are in effect

on all highways.

Watch your leg.

Hey, Maggie.

What have we

got here?

Stucky, Joe.

Murder. Drugs.

He's a real animal.

Kicked the shit

out of him in his cell.

Put him

in the waiting room.

Got you. Come on.

♪ Home, home

on the range ♪♪

You're

wasting your money

betting on horses.

The real bread

is in the stock market,

with the possible

exception

of Monty's Dream

in the fifth.

I'm home!

Hi, Lennihan.

Hey, got you something.

Oh, thanks.

Wow, who is she?

Hey, this way.

What did

the shrink say?

The shrink

said strike three.

They won't let you stay.

They won't let me go.

They're going

to let you out.

Still think

you're a black man?

Say get down, blood.

No problem.

You're going to be fine.

You'll be home

with this guy.

You're fucking crazy, man.

Bouncy, bouncy. Boing.

Stroke. Stroke.

Hey, go get them!

Come on.

Watch that wave.

Damn it.

What is going on?

Do you

want to live?

If they

let you out today,

what you

going to do,

shake hands

with Sal Palazzi?

Remember.

I don't have to remember

if I want to live.

You think I'm crazy?

A little wallpaper

would fix

this place right up.

Hi, Maggie.

Chambers is

looking for you.

Yikes, traffic

was impossible.

You have a pen?

He's hassling me

about everything.

That's because

he's having palpitations

about finally

putting me in charge.

It's not going

to be easy tonight.

A hurricane

won't spoil my debut.

Miss Atwood,

you're late.

We've got a lot

to go over.

Can Julie and Karen

stay on tonight?

Overtime?

It's not

your average night.

Every night

is average.

That's what

average means.

Why aren't

people sent home

when it's slow?

When is it slow?

Woof! Woof! Woof!

Box, the dog

is on my bed.

That's my pillow.

He's just guarding it.

He's not guarding

the damn pillow.

He's marking

his territory.

I'll mark

his territory.

Get your ass

off my bed!

Grrr!

Aah!

Fido. Fido.

Fido. Fido. Here!

He ain't

no bad dog, really.

He tried

to eat me up!

Out to lunch, man.

Out there.

Woof! Woof!

The staffing chart

looks fine,

but who's

Dr. Slattery?

He's running

the emergency room tonight.

Very experienced.

Worked for me

at Woodhurst General.

This weekend

will be tough.

Let's see how you do.

O.K.

Now--

Wasn't Maggie right

about those extra nurses?

Good administrators

don't take their staff's

point of view.

You know that, don't you?

Well...yes, of course.

Yeah.

[Static]

Haven't had much luck with

these new walkie-talkies.

We should

send them back.

To Pic 'n Save?

Mr. Chambers?

Yes.

Trouble in Psychiatric.

Lennihan's got them

climbing the walls.

I'll be right up.

Do you

want me to go?

I'll deal with this

on my way out.

I'll see you Monday.

You have a nice weekend.

Dr. Slattery was

going to stop by

before

he got started.

He must have got

caught in traffic.

Oh, Rachel...

run this hospital.

[Growling, Barking]

Come on, Lennihan.

Come on, boy!

Break it up in here!

It's some

territorial dispute.

The big dog took

the little dog's toy.

Lennihan, is that

the best you can do?

After reading what

you pulled on that judge,

I was hoping for something

more entertaining.

Dr. Hoffman already

sent me her evaluation.

You're off

to jail in the morning.

[Whining]

Don't try peeing

on my leg.

That won't

change my mind.

Escort Mr. Lennihan

to a locked private room

so he doesn't disturb

the real patients.

Oh, shit.

Leave him alone!

What's the matter

with you?

He'll die in prison!

Box, take it easy!

This is none

of your business.

Get back to your bed.

Make me.

You're making him

go to prison.

You're making me

go to bed?

Is that what

you're going to do?

You're going to make me,

motherfucker?

You ain't going to

make me do nothing!

You ain't going to make

nobody do nothing,

motherfucker,

'cause

we're on strike!

Yeah!

Yeah!

We're on strike!

We're on strike!

We're on strike!

We're on strike!

We're on strike!

We're on strike!

Excuse me.

Excuse me!

I'm touched by your concern

for Mr. Lennihan,

but unless you return

to your bunks immediately,

I'm closing this ward

and having

you all transferred

to a prison

for the criminally insane.

Not Dannemora.

They'll eat these

fruits alive there!

You heard

what Mr. Box said!

So everyone who prefers

this warm, safe hospital,

return to your bunks.

No! Nobody move!

Box, don't!

Nobody has to go

anywhere,

not nobody.

Box! Don't make it

bad for yourself.

Look. It's going

to be all right.

I fucked up.

I'm going to

the penitentiary.

You ain't going nowhere.

Nobody is going nowhere!

What are you trying

to pull, Chambers?

What happened

to the lights?

Man, you'll all die!

Get back

in your beds!

We got to stop this!

If you stay,

you're dead tomorrow.

Soup's on now, guys!

Let's raid the pharmacy!

Yeah! They got nurses

with big tits!

They're taking

Lennihan away!

Can't let

those guys loose

in the hospital,

man.

Lennihan!

Parts of the city

are blacked out,

but our grid is

totally wiped out.

Great. No power

on the island.

Nowhere to go but up.

Yay!

All right!

Emergency generator

right on schedule.

That generator only

puts out half the power.

A lot of the hospital

still has no juice.

Tommy Pinto

fell off the roof!

Why was he up there?

Chambers sent him.

Where is Chambers?

Gone for the weekend.

Miss Atwood's in charge.

I fell off

the fucking roof.

Can you move

your legs

and neck?

Yeah.

Get him a C-spine.

Jack, call my wife,

will you?

Where the hell's

our E.R. doctor?

I can't diagnose

this by myself.

How do I get

a hold of you?

I can't stick around

giving out

a forwarding address.

I'm out of here.

Go to Chambers' office

and pick up your files.

Go upstairs

and make a right.

Make a right?

Rachel, don't

forget about the O.R.

What about

Chambers' lab?

It's got

its own generator.

Chambers spared no expense.

That's why--

Is there

anything else

you need down here?

Bring back

the two girls

you sent home.

Oh!

Oh, shit!

Get me some

flashlights!

There's

no oxygen pumping.

I need someone

to help me dress her.

Just go over there!

Where's Doris?

Doris?

Where did she go?

Stucky!

Why should

the emergency generator work?

Nothing else does!

Stucky!

Get Maintenance

on the phone.

What phone?

It just went dead.

It is no more.

Stucky!

You clown!

I'm going to twist

your head off.

Dennis, what's the story

with the generator?

Checking it

out now, lady.

Great. I haven't

got Tommy's X-rays.

How long will it take?

Get off my case,

lady!

You'll know when

it's fixed, O.K.?

The generator

worked before,

so they'll get it

working again.

The E.R. doctor's

going to be here soon.

The most important thing

for us to do

is to get on

with the work.

Dr. Slattery?

Got me!

Edward Slattery?

Edward Slattery?

Thank God I found you.

I'm Rachel Atwood,

Arthur's assistant.

I know

the conditions aren't

what you expected,

but I'm doing absolutely

the best I can.

I'll find

the disaster manual

and see if I can

get some information.

Excuse me.

Oh, great.

This book isn't too old.

There's a chapter

on leeches.

I'll have to use

my best judgment.

Guess so.

What's this?

"Lennihan, Kevin."

Oh, Chambers

took care of that.

So let's go,

Dr. Slattery.

Go? Where?

To E.R.

You've got a herd

waiting for you.

Go. Start without me,

and I'll be right down.

I'm not an M.D.

I'm an administrator.

We've got

to go now, Doctor.

I've got to scrub up.

Doctor, are we ready?

Call me Eddie, please.

I'll call you Rachel.

Rachel, Eddie.

Eddie, Rachel?

O.K.

Did Chambers mention

that I can't

stay very long?

I have things to do.

I'm going

to other hospitals.

Bring some plaster.

We got a broken leg.

Take care of it.

There's Maggie,

the charge nurse.

Tell her you're here.

I'll see Maintenance.

Check the light packs.

It's possible

they weren't recharged.

Put down

that pillow, Tony,

and take this lantern

over to the drug room.

Take the pillow.

You have two hands.

Maggie, she's stitched up.

I need someone

to help me dress her.

Gwen, help Dr. Joffe

with the dressing.

Don't talk back.

Just go.

Excuse me.

I have an emergency.

Shit!

Dr. Foster,

what are you doing?

We can't run

an operating room

by candlelight.

I've rescheduled

all elective surgery

until the day

after tomorrow.

Things should be

fixed then.

Deploy

the O.R. nurses

and orderlies

as you see fit.

That was

a close one.

Aren't you going

to help out down here?

Miss Atwood,

you're standing on

a malpractice time bomb.

I won't be around

when it explodes.

Nothing's wrong

with my head.

You've never seen it

from this angle.

I want to go home.

I got to check

on my Mercedes.

What do I do with

all these people?

Don't admit them

to our hospital.

Send them home.

You can't take that!

That's my ambulance!

Yo! I'm out of here!

Uh-oh!

Shit!

Huh? Oh!

Aah!

Oh! Aah!

Aah!

Shit!

No!

No!

Ohhhh!

Stop!

Stop!

The causeway's out!

The causeway's out?

Yeah!

Who are you?

Dr. Slattery.

Who are you?

Dr. Foster.

Doctor, we got

the same first name.

I want a ride back

to the hospital.

Hey, give me more

slack out there!

[Speaking Spanish]

This is a great

idea, Dr. Joffe.

Young Dr. J. is just

full of great ideas.

How many headlights

do you have?

Uh...20.

Good.

You left your

stethoscope at home?

Thank you for the ride.

Hey, Doc, where the hell

is my ambulance?

I got it washed.

What happened?

Dr. Slattery?

Yeah. What's

your problem?

What happened?

The causeway

collapsed.

And the ambulance

drowned.

Weren't you

treating the patients?

I was

treating patients,

and then

I saw the storm.

I knew we should

evacuate everybody.

Evacuate?

That was

my diagnosis.

Shouldn't these guys

be driving the ambulances?

You're right. Uh...

what's your name?

Dr. Joffe.

Got out of med school

three months ago.

I got hemorrhoids

older than that.

You'd send people

out in weather

like this

without

first ascertaining

the risk?

If you didn't

want to get

your hands dirty,

you should have

went into law.

Me? I wasn't saying...

Dr. Slattery.

Dr. Slattery.

Dr. Slattery.

E.R.'s this way.

Chambers

is probably home now

with his feet up,

nursing

a double scotch.

He loves them

double scotches.

I should call him.

No! Don't do that.

Oh, right.

Phones are dead.

Dr. Slattery,

here's what we have.

We have a roof worker

that fell down.

He hasn't been X-rayed.

A guy's been struck

by lightning.

We have a regular.

We have

an auto accident

with contusions.

We have a possible labor--

six kids, all here.

We have a broken leg.

We need a doctor

in the detox ward

because the medicine men

are screaming for medicine.

I can't pass myself off

as a doctor.

I couldn't pass myself off

as a lunatic.

This is easier.

None of these

assholes know

what they're doing.

Tell everybody

they got the clap

and give them shots.

Somebody will recognize

I'm not Dr. Slattery.

Nobody keeps track

of these emergency

doctors.

They're

moonlighters.

They work a bunch

of shifts.

They make

their money

and disappear.

You're perfect

for the job.

Only if Chambers

doesn't show up.

I'll go to Psych

and check it out.

I'm a doctor.

I'm a doctor.

Doctor, we need

those dispositions.

Ladies and gentlemen,

can I have

your attention?

The problem with

the medical profession today

is too much buck-passing.

No shit.

You depend on me.

I'm moonlighting.

I do the business

and go.

Depend on yourselves.

You got good minds.

You're brilliant.

Screen those patients

for me.

Nurse, help him out.

Give me

your recommendations.

Remember what

Hippocrates said.

Now go to work.

Well, go to work!

Let's go!

Work, work!

One more time, Chambers.

What did you do

with the lights?

You're always keeping

us in the dark.

I don't know

what's going on.

Maybe the whole

city's blacked out.

Oh, yeah, right. Sure.

Suffering delusions

of grandeur.

Give me

the goddamn radio,

and I'll find out.

What will you do

with the radio, Chambers,

call in

the S.W.A.T. team?

Are we going to sit here

like this all night?

Grrr!

We'll sit

here forever!

We'll sit here...

just as long...

as I have my hands

around your scrawny

pecker neck!

Nobody is going to

send us to Dannemora.

Who said anything--

Shut up, fuckhead!

Oh, Dr. Slattery.

Dr. Slattery, please!

What seems to be

the problem?

Have you tried

prune juice?

Of course.

The last time

I went was a week,

and that wasn't

such a good one.

A warm bath does

the trick for me.

Doctor, she's taking

Dulcolax suppositories,

and nothing's moving.

She won't be able

to do it by herself.

We'll have to do

a manual disimpaction.

Get the manual.

What's that for?

Oy, not this again.

What's the matter?

You got to be kidding.

Dr. Joffe!

Huh?

Dr. Joffe! Dr. Joffe!

Get over here!

It's an emergency.

Take care of it.

Boy's going to wish

he went to law school.

I need some more

penicillin.

O.K.

Coming right up.

O.K., Joffe,

what is it?

There's no

diagnosis yet.

She hasn't been

examined, sir.

You haven't

examined her yet,

and you have

magic hands?

What will you do

with these magic hands?

Wash them, sir.

They were just up

Mrs. Nussbaum's

magic butt.

I've given you

the glamorous jobs.

Examine this patient.

I have lots to do.

Now examine

this patient.

Yes, sir.

Joffe.

Sir?

Get your ass out here.

But, sir--

Now.

You disgust me, Joffe.

Go wash your magic hands.

Get your magic ass out.

Under the curtain.

Go, quick, now.

Go, go. Quick, quick.

Excuse me.

What a cute coat.

Why, thank you very much.

What seems

to be the trouble?

Oh, well,

it hurts all over.

Here...

and here...

and especially

here.

Doctor will make it

all better.

Steth...Stetho...

Steth...Steth...

Steth-- Cool off.

What do you hear?

Oh, I hear, uh...

I hear a little

tiny voice.

And it's saying,

"Eddie, you're one

lucky son of a bitch."

I just love a dedicated

man in medicine.

They just give so much.

It makes me want to give

them something back.

Yes. Dedicated.

That's me.

I'm a dedicated

doctor.

I'm a real

dedicated doctor.

This is the best day

of doctoring for me.

I love caring men.

Oh, I care.

My friend's a cynic.

He says tell everybody

they have the clap

and give them a shot.

Can you imagine that?

You wouldn't have

to tell me that.

Oh, no?

Because that's

why I'm here.

Yes.

I already have the clap.

[Zips Up Zipper]

Joffe.

Dr. Joffe!

What the hell

are you doing, Doc,

building a wall?

No. This is

the latest technique.

When the cast

is real big,

the bone sets harder.

You're going to like this.

This is good.

I'd like you

to do me a favor.

When you take

this cast off,

I'd like my ring back.

It's in here, see?

This is good.

This will set good.

Dr. Slattery,

could I see you

for a moment?

Dr. Foster,

take over for me!

There's an emergency!

[Shouting]

[Speaking Spanish]

Try this for size.

[Speaking Spanish]

Excuse me, Doctor.

Nurse, this could

be serious.

Excuse me, Doctor.

Why don't you

just go weigh

everybody?

You have

the pressure--

[Bang]

Backwards!

Well, no wonder.

It's an '82 model.

They should have

recalled these.

Anything else

I can do for you?

That's the woman

who's here for treatment.

She's her cousin.

Could have something

that runs in the family.

You never know.

Have them both X-rayed.

She says

her husband left her,

and it hurts all over.

X-rays won't

show anything.

You see?

It won't hurt.

Look. See?

Excuse me.

She's not crying

anymore.

What did he say?

He said my husband

is no good anyway

and that he thinks

that I have a nice--

You know...ass,

and that maybe we'll

go dancing tomorrow night.

[Thunder]

[Men Shouting]

Mary.

I thought we

had emergency power.

Where the hell

is it?

They're restoring it.

I've got four nurses.

How many do you need?

I'm keeping people

alive by hand.

I could use at least

three per bed.

Oh, God. I'll get you

everybody I can spare.

There's a patient

with a D.B.T.

He threw a P.E.

He could have an M.I.

We know

how serious that is.

I need

a second opinion.

Is that why your parents

worked so hard

to send you

to medical school?

My parents are wealthy.

Would they be interested

in a little cineplex?

$50,000 down--

What?

Your opinion's

as good as anyone's.

I'm counting

on you today.

Don't let me down.

Thank you, sir.

You're great.

What are you doing?

Letting

a first-year intern

make that diagnosis

alone?

That's an

engraved invitation

to litigation.

Precisely the issue

of Blowfield

vs. St. Jude's,

a settlement

of $3 million.

What are you

trying to pull?

Doctors,

what is the matter?

This guy's gone crazy.

Miss Atwood,

your emergency generator--

Forget about it.

You'd need a miracle

to get juice in that

by the morning.

Morning? People are

being kept alive by hand.

That can't

go on all night.

What can we

do tonight, boss?

We've been after

Chambers for months.

I didn't

hear anything--

This is a joke.

People will die

here tonight.

She only wants

to know what it costs.

You've been running

this hospital

into the ground.

Gentlemen...

pointing the finger

at Rachel,

that will fix

the generator?

We need people

up in I.C.U., right?

We can't spare

anybody from here.

We'll get people

somewhere else.

That's easy to say.

It's easy to do, too.

Follow me.

Eddie, what

are you doing?

Just a minute.

Rachel,

I'm a master of persuasion.

Ladies and gentlemen...

can I have

your attention, please?

We need your help.

What is he doing?

I been here

five hours.

What's going on?

Louis!

This is

our head orderly Louis.

Get to know him.

And, uh...you remember

when you were kids

and you had

your temperature taken?

What is he

talking about?

Tonight's going

to be your turn,

a chance to help

your fellow man.

Listen

to the doctor.

He's been sent here

by some

ambulance-chasing

law firm.

You can't have

patients working

in a hospital.

Look, I'm your doctor.

I'm going to prescribe

for you...exercise.

It's good for

the cardiovascular system.

It'll help you.

You'll walk--

iEscuchen el doctor!

If anything

happened,

we'd be liable.

I don't have any choice,

do I?

Well, this

is anarchy.

Do I?

You need

exercise

most of all.

No.

Come on.

I'm no doctor.

I know you're not,

but you need

exercise.

Watch the kids.

Come on up.

Come on up.

Thanks, Eddie.

It's my pleasure.

Get me out of here.

Let's go this way.

Doctor,

I.C.U. is this way.

Follow me.

Follow Louis.

Where are you going?

To I.C.U.

You're an emergency

room doctor.

Eddie, the orderly

will take them.

Eddie?

Tony Pinto's feeling

tingling in his legs.

I'm really worried.

What do you

think it might be?

Who knows without

a CAT scan?

What happened

to the cat?

Remember,

there's no power.

The lights are out.

I know where

some lights are--

the helipad.

They got

their own

generator.

That's fine,

but who will move it?

The medicine men

in Detox. They're

sitting around.

I'll go get on it.

I'll take care of it.

They won't

listen to you.

Thank you, but remember,

administration's my job.

Miss Atwood.

She won't listen.

That woman has no idea

what she's doing.

We're talking about

a class action suit

against this hospital,

and you're

encouraging it.

What kind

of gypsy doctor are you?

Is that

a formal accusation

or libelous hearsay?

My lawyer's on call

24 hours a day

to take care of nitwits

like you.

You'll be on your ass

like white on rice.

I wasn't

suggesting anything.

I accept your apology...

this time.

I'm sorry.

Get with Joffe,

help him with Tommy Pinto,

and move your ass.

Dr. Slattery!

I'm going to pee.

I don't need

a second opinion.

I know how to hold it.

Do I need

a second opinion?

No.

He doesn't need

a second opinion.

[People Chattering]

Mr. Stucky.

You here for the cure?

Yeah. They let you

out of prison?

I scammed those suckers

in the joint

with "my leg is falling off"

bullshit.

How am I going

to get out of here?

I don't know, man.

[Rachel]

Can I have

your attention?

I need my meth!

I'll get you

all the drugs you want.

You two over there,

this involves

you, too.

Get me off the island.

Come on.

Let's go.

Now! Now!

Come on,

hard-ass.

So this is

an out of the ordinary

and a highly

unusual request,

but this is

a highly unusual situation,

and we really do

need the manpower.

I thought this was

supposed to be

a drug program,

not a job program.

Ain't that right,

fellas?

So just

give us our dope.

Dope.

♪ My girl likes to

Take it easy

before you

Tell them again.

The man's serious.

You done woke him up

from his nap.

Come on.

I got

a program, too,

but I got good news

and bad news.

The good news is

I got the methadone.

O.K., O.K., O.K.

What is

the bad news?

You'll have

to work for it.

That's terrible.

Rachel asked for help

and you jaw-jacked her.

Well, I won't take

no jaw-jacking

'cause I'm

going to split.

I didn't come here

to work, Doc.

I came to relax.

I can't work.

Praise the Lord!

He can't work!

Hey, man!

Hey, come on, man.

What's the matter?

Hey, Doc, I thought we

were junkies, not flunkies.

Well, you thought wrong.

Thought you had to piss,

but you had to shit.

Now, listen to me!

Do we have a deal?

Say yes.

Yeah. Yeah.

You guys have

made an important

career decision.

You, keep

Get out

of my face!

We don't talk

to our doctor like that.

I can give you

shock treatment,

clean your brains out

if you got any.

Now keep it up

and see what happens.

Rachel.

Yeah?

If someone needed

to get off the island,

like, say they were

going to get killed--

I mean, they were sick--

could they use that boat?

Yeah.

I have the key,

but you can't

do anything

when it's like this.

Yeah, but

when it's nice.

Yeah, it's possible.

Good to know.

All right, men, let's go.

Dannemora?

Who said anything

about Dannemora?

Where do I sign?

Lights out at 10:00,

cable TV...

[Bell Rings]

sports,

and dirty movies.

Sodas whenever

we want them.

Nurses

with bigger tits.

[Ring Ring]

A wonderful idea.

Well, that should

be no problem.

Anything else?

No? Terrific.

Now, don't sign this...

if you don't want to.

Now, if I

can just have

that radio back.

What did you

do to Lennihan?

Me? You all saw

what happened.

You sent him

away to Palazzi...

or to medical

experiments.

We're next!

We're next!

Woof! Woof!

We're next!

Wait a minute!

Wait a minute!

I can see

you guys are

too smart for me.

I'm going

to level with you.

Lennihan was

an undercover

inspector

for the board

of health.

The board of health.

Oh, you're just

too good, Chambers.

You really are.

What do

we do now?

What do we do?

We gag that maggot

before I rip

his lying lips off.

Woof woof!

Woof woof woof!

You could puke a buzzard

off a gut wagon.

[Engine Starts]

Eddie,

you're our hero.

I am?

Way to go, Doc!

That was great, Jack.

My toaster's

on the fritz.

You can

fix it tomorrow.

Your oven, too.

We're not out

of the woods yet.

Right.

Dr. Slattery,

someone here says

he works for you.

You'd better

see him.

I'm busy.

Show me where

the Demerol is,

and I'll Ben Casey

my own ass.

Get me Dr. Joffe.

Good luck.

You're supposed

to be working.

Hey, Doc. Doc.

Don't waste your time, man.

Help those people

who can be saved, man.

Throw me in bed

and forget about me.

To make sure my last days

are comfortable,

keep me

highly medicated.

You-You know

my condition.

Yes, I do.

You're suffering

from a severe case

of full-of-shit-ness.

Would you give me that

in layman's terms?

I'm checking you out.

No, I told you, Doc--

Ow! Ow!

What is that, man?

I don't like

the way that sounds.

No shit.

Ow!

I don't like

that one either.

Did you

just experience

a sharp pain?

No, a blow job.

What do you think?

How's the patient,

Doctor?

Can I vote?

I'm feeling

pretty groovy, actually.

I just can't do

that kind of work

because of my hernia.

Dr. Joffe, check this man

for a hernia, please.

Great. Another

one of those

glamour jobs.

O.K., drop trou.

O.K.

Cough.

[Cough Cough

Cough Cough]

He seems fine.

Squeeze harder.

Sometimes it's inside.

Cough!

I am coughing, man.

I'll cough up

a fucking lung

if this guy

will let go my balls.

Harder!

But, sir--

We're trying

to save a life!

Aah!

Doctor,

should I schedule

immediate surgery?

Yes. We'll check him

from the inside out.

[High-pitched]

No, we don't!

I want to work!

I want to work!

Dr. Joffe,

he's cured!

Rachel, Dr. Joffe,

uh, that will be all.

And, Joffe--

I know, sir.

Wash my hands.

Eddie, I never really

had any doubts about you,

even though

your colleagues

thought, uh--

What did

my colleagues

thought?

Let's say

you hung in there

when the shit

hit the fan.

That's because I'm

a shit-in-the-fan dodger

from way back.

I got into medicine late.

What did you do

before?

I sold real estate,

made investments,

property, land.

I was doing pretty good.

I had a lot

of investors.

Everything

was going O.K.

One day I looked

at myself in the mirror,

said, "Eddie, this ain't

the life for you."

I went

to medical school.

Oh. What school?

Uh...nearby.

What's it like

running a hospital?

I mean,

being in charge

of everything,

like the food

and the strawberry

desserts--

Jell-O's and things

like that.

I'd like to speak to you

about the strawberry Jell-O's.

I want them

strawberry Jell-O's.

O.K.?

If you can believe it,

tonight's my tryout

for the job.

Hey, Rachel...

you're doing a great job

running this hospital,

and you're a lot

prettier than Chambers.

Thank you.

Um...

I got to fix food,

coffee.

Miss Atwood,

Miss Atwood.

This is Mary in I.C.U.

It must be 110

without air conditioning.

We've got to do something.

I'll take care of it, Mary.

Don't panic. You fix

the sandwiches.

I'll go up to I.C.U.

with Mary.

Thank you.

[Speaking Spanish]

Hey, you

goofing off again?

Trying to mobilize

everybody for I.C.U.

Oh.

We're moving

the helicopter

into the lobby.

Blow air up

the elevator shafts.

Say "ah."

To the lobby,

Louis.

Come on.

Let's go.

Can you get it

through the door?

Don't worry.

It's foolproof.

I'll take a sandwich,

that's what I'll do.

Pull! Pull!

Come on, men.

We almost got it up.

One more time.

1, 2, 3.

Pull!

Oh, my God.

Eddie, you said

it would fit

through the door.

Well, it's close.

I've got to get it

by the elevator shaft,

then I'll blow air

throughout

the whole hospital.

These guys will help,

because I only need it

up the steps.

Right, men?

You'll give it a try?

One more time!

1, 2, 3.

Pull!

Eddie,

you did your best.

Get them to I.C.U.

Guys, follow me

up to I.C.U., O.K.?

Eddie?

Anybody here know

about choppers?

Sir, I am a expert

in choppers, Doc.

The Slicks,

the Sikorskys,

all of the Hueys,

the "A," the "B,"

the "C," the "D" model,

Airwolf, Blue Thunder,

and this one here--

the Huey 500 D.

I know this sucker

backwards and forwards.

You wouldn't

bullshit me?

No, I wouldn't

shit you.

Get in.

Well, you see,

I was a chopper mechanic

in the big

Asian vacation.

Never got

off the ground

because of my fear

of heights.

But if you put somebody

behind that stick,

I can definitely

show you how.

Eddie, we don't

have time.

We've got to evacuate

the I.C.U.

Any volunteers?

Bring it on up.

Easy, now. Easy.

Too much

left pedal!

Ease your side

stick forward!

My what?

Your steering stick.

A little more

collected!

Your

up-and-down stick!

Are you talking

about my dick?

I hope he knows

what he's doing.

No sweat. He told me

he owns one of those.

O.K., O.K., O.K.

That's it. Easy.

Up, up, up.

It's a piece of cake.

Slow! Slow!

[Machine Gun Fire]

Oh, shit!

That's the 50s!

What?

Left! Left!

Left?

I'm turning left!

Whoa!

Are you freaking out?

Rocket fire!

Evade! Evade!

What? Evade what?

This ain't Vietnam!

To the right!

To the right!

You fucking crazy?

Oh, shit.

They blew up my stash.

Oh, God.

I'm out of drugs.

You stoned fuckhead!

How do I land this thing?

Don't land!

Take it up!

Back to base, man!

The pad's too hot!

Take it up!

Take it up!

Don't land!

The war's over,

you fuckhead!

I'll die in this

motherfucking

helicopter!

Don't land!

Don't land!

Don't!

All right!

Way to go!

Nice job!

I'm going

to grab his heart

and pull it

out of his ass.

You get

the Distinguished

Flying Cross, Doc.

You!

Help! Help!

Cough. Good.

It's going to be fine.

It's going to be fine.

He was having a fit.

Well, it worked.

What do you think?

I'll wake up any minute

and laugh my head off.

You can't

go to sleep now.

There's work to do.

Got to get

the generator going

and bail out

the basement.

Your troops

look wasted.

Do what you

got to do in E.R.

I'll take care

of my troops.

Thank you.

O.K.

I'll be right back.

Don't forget

about me.

These X-rays

are meaningless.

You need

an artist's sketch?

No, a CAT scan.

We can't, Doctor.

There's no power

upstairs.

Dr. Slattery!

Tommy Pinto has

an epidural hematoma

of the spine.

The longer

we wait to operate,

the greater the risk

of paralysis.

He's jumping

to conclusions.

No, I'm not.

We don't have

the proper information--

The symptoms

are obvious.

What else

could it be?

It could be--

Let's just say,

for argument's sake,

he needs

an operation.

We don't have

an operating room, do we?

We don't?

No. There's

no power up there.

It's inconceivable

to perform that kind

of delicate surgery

here in the emergency

room, isn't it?

I mean, would you?

No, I never have.

The air is filled

with bacteria, germs.

It's not antiseptic.

We can't expose

the central nervous

system to a lawsuit.

What if we

can't restore

power in time?

Pull yourself

together--

Wait! Wait!

Shh!

Shh! Shh! Shh!

Doctors,

act like doctors.

What's wrong

with you guys?

Hey! Will

somebody tell me

what is going on?

Tommy?

Would you

look at Tommy?

He won't even

look at him.

It's not my domain.

It's your domain.

No.

Yes, it is.

I'm only

the intern.

I'm a surgeon.

I never talk to patients--

Until after--

before surgery.

You have

to go in there,

Dr. Slattery.

I...

Dr. Slattery!

Dr. Slattery!

Listen, I'll go in.

I'll look at him...

alone.

Thank you, sir.

You're welcome.

Hey, Doc.

How you doing?

Ahem.

So how you doing,

Tommy Pinto?

O.K.

So what's

the story here?

The story is...

you should have

used a ladder.

Tommy,

you a diabetic?

Hmm?

Diabetic?

No.

What's your

favorite flavor?

Red.

Shit.

That's mine, too.

They just don't put

enough reds in here.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Hey, Doc.

What?

Can you look

at my legs?

I can't feel nothing.

That's bad, isn't it?

No...that's--

Hey...no.

It's not as bad

as you think it is.

We'll just put a heating pad

on for a couple days,

and it'll be O.K.?

You're a lucky man.

I mean, you could have

fallen off a roof

anywhere, right?

But you fell off here

at the hospital.

There are a lot of good

people around, man,

that are going to

take care of you.

So you're

going to be fine.

You're going to be fine.

Hey, Doc, you're not

bullshitting me, are you?

Doc, what

do you think?

Eddie, what's up?

You see...

I've been getting

a free ride.

Some man down the end

of the hall,

if he doesn't get

an operation,

he may be crippled

the rest of his life.

I can't keep

this bullshit up.

But you have to.

I know how

worried you are.

I'm not who

you think I am.

You'll get

the O.R. going.

Listen to me.

Every time

we've been up

against the wall,

you made us

believe anything

was possible.

Anything's

possible.

Yes.

You made me

believe it, too.

Yeah, I could, uh--

We could try.

O.K., let's try.

Did we get

in those boxes?

Yes, uh,

they're right here.

Great. The anesthesia

equipment is working.

[Beeping]

Check this beat.

Nice stuff.

I mean, it's great.

Here we go,

Dr. Foster.

Very romantic.

This is what you

brought me up here for?

You expect me to operate

under these conditions?

Who are you people?

Miss Atwood, you are

an incompetent fool.

Everything you've done

has jeopardized this hospital.

I won't be a party

to your criminal behavior.

Dr. Foster!

You son of a bitch,

she's trying to help.

I'll break nine

of your fingers,

but I'll leave one to shove

up your pompous ass!

Can you operate

or not?

If something happened,

I'd have no defense.

You'll leave him

downstairs

because you're afraid

you'll get sued?

Are you a doctor or some

chickenshit bureaucrat?

Why did we

go into medicine

in the first place?

Since becoming a doctor,

I've watched the medical

profession go to hell.

We aren't treated any better

than fly-by-night mechanics

or shoddy

house builders.

If the customer

isn't happy,

they haul us into court.

Where is the deference,

the trust?

The trust?

You're a penis head.

What?

We're doctors!

People come and say,

"Doctor, help me, please,"

and we help them.

That's power.

You'll let your lawyers

scare you out of that?

We got the greatest jobs

in the world.

We can park anywhere!

Driveways,

loading zones--

No tickets.

We get aisle seats

at the theater.

There you go.

Is there a fire?

What's going on?

I have no choice.

Where

are we going?

Chambers' research lab.

This is

a mutiny.

What are

you doing?

Nice shot.

Watch your foot.

What is this,

the cafeteria?

I suppose you

think that's funny.

This is

criminal behavior.

You can't--

This is breaking

and entering.

Miss Atwood!

Can this generator

light the O.R.?

I--I--I don't

see why not.

My God!

What is Arthur

going to say?

Arthur!

No. This is Arthur's baby.

This isn't

Arthur's baby.

This is

Arthur's baby!

This is an emergency

I've got to deal with.

Stop! You're throwing

your career out the window.

What is

your problem?

It's a risk

I've got to take.

Right, Eddie?

Right.

No! Stop!

Miss Atwood! Aah!

No!

Oh! What are

we doing?

What about it,

Dr. Foster,

can you perform

the operation?

Oh. What a mess!

Yuck.

Ohh!

The power's on,

so can you?

Anything to get

out of here.

Great.

I'll get it moved.

Dr. Slattery, I'd be

pleased to have you assist

me in the surgery.

♪ Mmm ♪

♪ Mmm ♪

♪ Mmm... ♪♪

Dr. Slattery.

Yes?

We have to go.

I know, but I'm

not yet, uh...

clean.

They're waiting for us.

Dr. Slattery.

Germs? Germs?

I'm just trying

to get sterile.

Sterile enough?

I don't know

if you've done this.

It's a challenging

procedure.

Without the CAT scan,

we can't pinpoint

the hematoma.

A lot of spine

may be exposed--

a very delicate

procedure.

From the symptoms,

though,

it should be

between T-9 and T-10.

Doctor...I don't think

I'm the man for this job.

I don't understand.

I don't want to know.

I don't care

who you are.

Send Joffe up here,

keep your hands

in your pockets,

and run this hospital.

Thank you, Doctor.

Do we have enough

I.V. fluid?

Rachel,

I need a hand.

Get these kids

out of here, please.

Please get these children

out of here!

[Speaking Spanish]

Doctor, she's

fully dilated.

She's having a baby?

Yes. It come out

like a gum ball.

Rachel, hold her hand

while she bear down.

O.K., dear.

Yes, come on.

She's got my arm.

Push. Push.

Ohh!

Take deep breaths.

Good girl.

Oh, she's a good girl.

There was a head.

It went back up,

but it was a head.

O.K. Good girl,

good girl.

Breathe slow.

Breathe slow.

Good girl.

Good girl.

You're doing well.

Another one is coming!

You know

what to do.

You've done

this before.

Good. Good.

Oh, another one!

Push now.

Oh, my God!

Push!

It's coming!

Push!

It's coming out.

It's a baby!

Doctor, catch it!

Oh, my God.

It's a baby boy.

It's a boy.

It's a baby.

It's a baby.

It's a baby.

We could use suction.

It's a baby boy.

Look at the nuts

on your baby!

Rachel,

you cut the cord.

O.K.

O.K.

My God, baby.

Hold him.

You should be very

proud of yourself.

Doctor, would you mind

giving him back

to Mommy now?

Good girl.

You're a good girl.

You did well.

Here's your baby.

That's your mommy.

It's my baby.

Thank you, Doctor.

Thank you.

You're a good mommy.

You got a good

baby, too.

You act as if you've

never seen one.

Oh, I've seen them.

Every time I...

deliver a baby, it's...

it's like

the first time.

It's a baby.

Everything

worked out great.

He's fine.

Great.

Thank you, Doctor.

Thank you.

Well?

You deserve

a victory cigar.

What's your

favorite flavor?

Red.

Red! Shit!

I'll never get one.

You saved

his life, you know.

Me? You did.

No, you did.

A team effort.

You and me a team?

We make a good team.

Doctor, E.R.

Yeah, I--

Hello,

Doctor.

Hi.

Ahem.

Do you really

like moving

from hospital

to hospital,

never getting to know

the people you work with?

Is that a proposal?

It's an offer.

Well, I have been thinking

that I should...

be more serious

about my career.

O.K., junkies,

change shifts!

Aah!

Shit, man!

Hey! Where the hell

did he come from?

Hey, man! Get up!

Jeez!

Come on! Help me

turn him over!

Give us a hand!

Help me here!

Hey! We got

a dead cop.

He washed in

from the ocean!

Call the E.R.!

Get a doctor!

The guy's dead.

Who was he?

That cop

who brought me in.

You killed him?

There's got to be

another key

for that boat.

You're in on this.

Hold the light.

Jack!

Shit!

New Yorkers woke up

after the biggest storm

in a decade

to find

widespread damage

and parts of the city

still without power.

This cop was strangled.

Have you seen a man

with blond hair,

blond beard,

and prison denims

since the blackout?

Please, girls,

think again.

I left him

in the radio room.

Wait a minute.

Why would

someone come back

if he's trying

to escape?

You kill a cop,

you try

to get away fast.

He's been dead

10 hours.

10 hours?

Causeway was

still in then.

It didn't go

until I tried

to escape--

I mean

evacuate.

Then there's

no problem.

He left when

the lights went out.

You don't

believe that.

I'll radio

the city police.

Rrr! Rrr! Rrr!

Come on, Box.

I go free, you go free.

You'll come next week

for dinner,

meet the wife and kids.

I ain't got no clothes.

I'll lend you

some of mine.

We'll let out

the shoulders

a little bit.

Awoo!

Awoo!

Miss Atwood,

come in, please.

Miss Atwood,

come in, please.

Arthur?

You'll never guess

where I've been all night.

I've been held hostage

in the psycho ward.

When you have

a free moment,

do you think you could

come up and let me out?

Oh, God!

Uh, yes!

Miss Atwood's

a witness

that I agreed

to these demands

of my own free will.

"Nurses with

bigger t--"

Just open

the door, Rachel!

Hold it!

I want Lennihan.

This guy makes me crazy.

Get me Kevin Lennihan!

Lenni-who?

I thought

we made a deal!

Kevin Lennihan.

I want him here.

Who are you

talking about?

Kevin Lennihan.

He's black like me,

in his late 30s

with a mustache.

He ain't crazy

like us.

Now, where is he?

Tell him he's gone!

Can you

describe him more?

He used to be

in real estate.

He owned

his own helicopter.

He ain't bonkers

like us.

He just acted that way

to stay out of jail.

He's crazy,

all right,

but just about

them damned

lifesavers,

especially red.

Box, listen!

He didn't stick around.

Shut the fuck up,

asshole!

He didn't

run out on us.

Listen to me, lady.

Either you bring

Kevin Lennihan

down here,

or sunshine here

ends up part of

the parking lot!

Now do you

get that?

Yes, sir.

Rachel! Talk

to these people!

Shut up, or I'm

going to feed you

to goddamned Fido!

Psst. Psst.

Louis.

Mrs. Harwood,

no, ma'am. No, ma'am.

You know our condition.

Get it out of here.

Give her some juice.

How are we doing?

Fine, thanks.

I'll tell Dr. Joffe

you're O.K., O.K.?

He's going into law,

you know.

Hey! What's the game?

Hey.

It's craps.

We're playing

with dice.

Mr. Lennihan.

Cheating you!

Mr. Lennihan.

How could you?

Stolen jewels

are one thing,

but you delivered

a baby.

What was going on

in your mind?

What if

it was breech?

A hundred things could have gone

wrong.

I would have

been responsible.

You took

advantage of me.

I'm in trouble!

I'm history

in this hospital!

I tore open the front door

because of you.

I blew up

Chambers' lab!

I took all the risks.

You had fun playing

with people's lives.

Rachel--

Don't call me Rachel!

I'm Miss Atwood.

Think about where

you would have been

without me.

You made me believe

anything was possible.

You'd have fallen

on your face without me.

I don't deserve

this shit!

You deserve jail,

which is

where you're going

after you get your friends

to let Chambers go.

Wait.

For what? You have

a heart bypass

scheduled?

Maybe a little

brain surgery?

Are you fucking crazy?

I'm not gonna let Chambers go

if they're sending me

to jail anyway.

If you want him out,

we have to make a deal.

Nobody goes

to Dannemora--

Nobody, especially Box.

I want your word on that--

No one goes to Dannemora.

O.K.,

but nothing

for you, right?

Wrong. I'm getting out

of your hospital.

All I want is to just bolt,

and I'm out of here, O.K.?

Now I know

who you are.

You're Lennihan.

Nothing for

nothing, right?

Call it like you see it.

Is it a deal?

Yeah.

This is what

you wanted,

isn't it?

Woof! Woof!

[Panting]

Woof!

Lennihan! All right,

Lennihan, my man!

I knew he was

coming back!

What the hell's

going on?

I agreed

to two conditions--

He gets

safe conduct,

no one goes

to Dannemora,

then he'll get Box

to let you out.

It's a deal.

Look at you, man.

Eight hours ago,

you was a dog.

Now you're a doctor.

You make me proud

to be an American.

This reunion

is very touching.

Unless you really

want to get touched,

shut the fuck up

and get out of my face.

You got a way

with people, Box.

Chambers wanted

to let me out,

but I didn't think

it was a good idea.

No, not this way, Box.

You're

probably right.

Yeah. Yeah,

you're right.

Man, you really

trust her.

She's a stand-up lady, Box.

Your word is gold

with me, Bubba, gold.

This is where I was headed

before I took a detour.

Had some fun,

made a friend.

Why is she

so pissed off at you?

I can't get it.

I do.

But you handled

everything like a pro.

I'm not a pro.

I'm a bullshitter,

just like she said.

I'm full of shit.

97...98...99...100.

Get out of here, you,

and don't come back!

That bastard's

not getting away.

We made a deal.

Stop being a fool.

He's not getting off

this island.

A man's escaped from Psycho.

Secure the grounds.

The causeway's out.

He can't get off the island.

He's got to be

hiding in hospital.

Forget the grounds.

Turn the hospital inside out.

If he suffers

bodily injury

while

being recaptured,

nobody will be

reprimanded.

That's a promise.

Aah!

[Moaning]

Everybody asked you

what to do, not her.

You had all

the great ideas.

She's a hard-ass.

I don't want to hear no more

about that lady, please.

Just untie me. I don't want

to take the dock with me.

I'm trying to get

this boat to run!

We needed the air.

There was no

circulation.

How--

Arthur!

You couldn't

tell a doctor

from a psychotic

con man?

Calm down.

We heard what

you've been through.

Terrible. Terrible.

But console yourself.

No matter

who Slattery was,

we didn't lose a single

life here tonight.

That's what's important.

You won't think

it's so important

when you're spending the rest

of your career in court.

What are you

talking about?

We can justify

everything.

We? What do you mean, we?

You were the senior

physician here!

Don't do this to me. We have to

stick together.

You went over the wall

on your own.

Don't expect this hospital

to share your liability

in disregarding

basic procedures!

But the situation

was such that--

You're looking

at a blizzard

of litigation!

Anyone walks out of here

with a common cold

has a good case

for malpractice!

Junkies

roaming the halls,

orderlies

prescribing diets...

dismembered ambulances,

and a helicopter

in my fucking lobby!

Oh, my God.

Why did I ever

become a doctor?

I could've been

a lawyer.

Given the shape

this hospital is in,

I don't see

what other choice

Dr. Foster had.

You'll be asking

yourself that question

for years

when you're

practicing medicine

in a small town

in Idaho.

You're finished

in this city.

These people

will thank you--

Fuck off!

You don't know what

you're talking about!

Thank you for your professional

opinion, Nurse Lesser.

For your performance

tonight,

you'll be

back on the wards

emptying bedpans.

Me?

This is totally

uncalled for.

These people did

what had to be done.

If you insist on treating

these people like this--

Yes?

I will resign.

That's the first helpful thing

you've done all night.

Go clean out

your desk.

[Fire Alarm Rings]

Keep going!

Keep going!

It's not your problem!

Ah, shit!

Get back! Get back!

Jail, remember?

The fire's

in the laundry room.

God, what next?

False alarm!

Be careful, please!

The fire's out back!

The fire's out back.

Get everybody out front!

You're going the wrong way!

Check on Tommy Pinto,

make sure he's O.K.

Please, go up to I.C.U.

We may have to evacuate.

All right,

everybody move it!

Get all these people

out in the front.

We may have to use

the front for fire victims.

Everybody move it!

Nobody's moving.

What's going on?

Do as he says!

Dr. Slattery,

great to have you back.

I'm Kevin Lennihan.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you,

Lennihan.

Hey, Louis!

Yes!

Pull out the hose!

Come on!

Get it straight!

Forwards,

not backwards!

It's hot, man!

I know, but hang in!

Don't give up on me now!

The exits are

in that direction.

Calm down.

The key to the boat!

Aah!

The key!

I don't have it.

Don't lie to me.

Here, take them.

You come along

for insurance.

Give me more line!

Stay with it!

Pull!

Him! Now he's trying to

burn down my fucking hospital!

Attention! Security!

Bring weapons

and sharp objects.

I've got you now!

Incitement to riot,

kidnapping, arson--

Fuck you!

Way to go, Chambers!

Sir? Sir. Miss Addison's

stuck in the basement.

Get this maniac.

He's not a doctor!

Why should they

listen to you,

huh, Chambers?

Arrest him.

That's an order.

Are you deaf?

Lennihan saved

your hospital.

That's right!

He's right.

Yes.

You people

are as gullible

as the half-wits

in the psycho ward!

He's conned you all!

I'm a con man, huh?

What are you?

You've conned

these people

into believing you could

run this hospital.

They're scared

and pissed off at you.

You know why?

I'll tell you why.

You never let them

use their own minds.

Every time they do,

you come down on them.

They don't know how to deal

with it, so they panicked.

You've got some good people,

some real stars.

Besides that,

you got a great hospital.

This is a last-ditch

insanity plea.

You're telling me

how to run a hospital?

Industrial accidents!

Preventive maintenance is

the key. If you'd used that,

Tommy Pinto wouldn't have

went on the roof in a hurricane

and damn near

killed hisself.

Accidents happen.

Emergency generators!

They went out.

Chief administrator's

responsibility.

You tell him, Doc.

Nobody's interested

in these wild

allegations.

Press!

Radio, TV, newspapers.

I know people

in the media.

They'd be glad to print

this kind of story.

These people here got

a lot of wonderful stories

they'd be willing

to tell the press.

You bet!

You don't want

to get her started.

Please help me, someone!

Security! Chambers!

I'm in the boiler room.

Stucky's after me.

He's still

on the island?

Oh, Christ!

Give me that.

Cover the grounds!

Who's Stucky?

[Moaning]

Oh, my aching balls.

O.K. Let's do it.

Louis, I need help!

Can you hear me?

Send me up somebody, quick!

Aah! Oh.

Come on!

The key.

The key!

This is the end

of the road.

I don't think

I need you anymore.

No. Please, no.

We got the place surrounded.

Permission to move in.

[Using Different Voices]

I got the rotten bastard

in my sights.

Permission to fire.

Chuh-chuh-chuh-chuh.

Get that fucking

helicopter out of here!

Woof woof woof woof woof!

Awoo! Awoo!

Hey! I hope you guys get him

when they come out the door!

If they come out the back,

we got him.

What if they go back

in the hospital?

We can't have that!

Nobody's guarding the hospital!

Hey, this is Big Daddy

with a big 10-4.

What about the girl?

Fuck the girl.

We kill everybody.

No! Please!

Shit, sir!

Move it!

Which way

to the boat?

The door,

over there.

Rachel, run!

Eddie!

Get out!

Get out!

1...

2...

[Generator Cranking]

Come on! Come on!

You black bastard,

you!

I'll kill you!

Rachel, get out!

Come on, get over here!

Get out, Rachel!

Where's the boat?

Over there.

Rachel! Rachel!

Damn you!

I'm gonna get

that motherfucker!

I'm O.K.

Woof! Woof! Woof!

Woof! Woof!

Woof! Woof! Woof!

Woof! Woof! Woof!

Come on! All right!

[Generator Starts]

Grrr!

Woof! Woof! Woof!

[Whimper]

Nobody kicks my dog,

motherfucker!

Oh, shit!

Motherfucker! Die!

You fucking

wimpo doctor!

I am not a doctor!

We some bad black

motherfuckers,

ain't we?

Damn right, Bubba.

You all right?

Take care of him!

Not them. Him!

All right.

Come on, Stucky!

Let's say your files

were destroyed in the fire.

Thanks.

You're free and clear.

You can start all over.

I like

the sound of that.

Get out of here,

Lennihan.

Damn, Bubba.

You the man, Bubba.

You the man, Lennihan.

You take it

easy, Fido.

Why the hell couldn't you be

Dr. Slattery?

I wish I could be

who you wanted me

to be, but I'm not.

I think

that you might be...

Mr. Lennihan.

Would you like to have

dinner with me tonight?

I'd like that.

Very much.

Eight hours ago, I was

a lunatic in an insane asylum.

Now I got a yacht.

I met a nice lady.

Proud to be

an American.
