Diagnosis Murder (1993–2001): Season 7, Episode 7 - Gangland: Part 1 - full transcript
Gangster 'Mr. G', a perfect Mark Sloan lookalike, is released from jail; his gang has moved business to California, and rented a Malibu beach-house.
WHAT DO YOU SAY?
I BROKE MY ARM.
WHY IS SHE LOOKING AT MY LEG?
WHY DON'T YOU ASK ME?
I'M ASKING.
DAD?
SEE WHY HE DIDN'T WANT
YOU VISITING INSIDE?
LOOKING GOOD, MR. G.
HE'S RIGHT.
YOU LOOK GREAT.
JUST TAKES
SOME GETTING USED TO.
THANKS FOR TAKING CARE
OF MY LITTLE GIRL
THE LAST 20 YEARS.
LEAST I COULD DO, MR. G.
SO, HOW'S MY BUSINESS
IN ATLANTIC CITY?
WE'RE MOVING IT TO CALIFORNIA.
A LOT HAS CHANGED
SINCE YOU'VE BEEN AWAY.
WE NEED TO EXPAND THE BUSINESS.
STAKE OUT NEW TERRITORY.
AND WHOSE IDEA WAS THAT?
AND WHOSE IDEA WAS THAT?
MINE.
WE TOOK THE LIBERTY
OF BUYING YOU A NEW CAR.
WAIT TILL YOU USE
THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM.
WE HAD THE BOYS PUT IT IN
SPECIAL FOR YOU
DOWN AT THE GARAGE.
IT'S GREAT FOR
QUICK GETAWAYS.
YOU THINK I'M RUNNING, EDDIE?
I THINK MY FATHER
DESERVES THE BEST.
WE, UH, ALSO RENTED YOU A HOUSE.
YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE IT, DAD.
RIGHT ON THE BEACH IN MALIBU.
I'M NOT RETIRING.
MOVING WEST IS GOOD BUSINESS.
BETTER BE...
'CAUSE IT'S MY BUSINESS NOW.
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
MAY I HAVE A WORD WITH YOU,
DR. TRAVIS?
YEAH.
NOTHING.
NOTHING?
WELL, THE ALIGNMENT LOOKS GOOD
I TELL YOU WHAT...
AS THE DOCTOR
WHO SET THAT ARM,
I'M GOING TO BE
THE FIRST ONE
THAT SIGNS THAT CAST,
ALL RIGHT?
WHAT DO YOU SAY?
NOTHING?
YOU PAGED ME?
THIS IS DION.
HI, DION.
I'M DR. AMANDA BENTLEY.
WHAT'S SHE HERE FOR?
WELL, I CALLED HER IN
FOR A SECOND OPINION.
SOMETIMES THAT'S
WHAT DOCTORS DO.
DO YOU THINK IT'S A COINCIDENCE
THAT HE'S BROKEN
HIS LEG TWICE?
SHE SAYS I'M REAL CARELESS.
HMM... SOPHIE WILL FINISH UP
YOUR CAST, ALL RIGHT?
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
THERE YOU GO.
I'M ASKING.
YOUR LEG WAS ALSO BROKEN, DION.
THAT WAS LAST YEAR.
HOW DID YOU BREAK IT?
I FELL OUT A WINDOW.
WAS THAT THE FIRST TIME
YOU BROKE YOUR LEG
OR THE SECOND TIME?
BOTH TIMES.
SEE, MY MOM...
NOT MY REAL MOM
THERE YOU GO.
HMM... YOU KNOW, A MAN
COULD GET USED TO THIS.
NOT MY REAL MOM
MY MOM MOM.
DION'S IN FOSTER CARE.
SHE SAYS I'M REAL CARELESS.
AS YOUR OWN TOUR GUIDE
TO RELAXATION, OKAY?
GREAT WAY TO TRAVEL.
ALL SET?
GOOD... HI.
CAN I GO HOME NOW?
NO, NOT JUST YET, DION.
HE'S OBVIOUSLY
AN ABUSED FOSTER CHILD.
WHO BROUGHT HIM IN?
UH, HIS OLDER STEP-BROTHER.
I'D LIKE TO HAVE
A WORD WITH HIM.
EXCUSE ME.
WHO TRIES TO
TAKE MY PLACE.
DO YOU LIKE THEM?
THEY'RE OKAY.
I WANT TO GO HOME NOW.
NO, NOT JUST YET, DION.
I WANT TO TAKE
SOME X-RAYS FIRST.
JORGE SPLIT, DIDN'T HE?
IT'S MY JOB.
DISTRACTING ME?
NO, SHOWING YOU
THE LOCAL SIGHTS.
THINK OF ME
AS YOUR OWN TOUR GUIDE
TO RELAXATION, OKAY?
OF GOING BACK
TO A GROUP HOME?
I JUST WANT TO GO HOME.
DION, LISTEN TO ME.
I UNDERSTAND
WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH.
NOT AS GOOD AS YOURS.
HOW'D YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT?
I GET AROUND.
THAT WAS, UH,
SOME LUNCH YOU HAD.
YOU TELL MY DAUGHTER
AS MUCH AS I APPRECIATE
THE HOUSE... ALL THE SIGHTS
I'LL KILL ANYBODY
HI.
HEY.
HOW'S YOUR DAY?
NOT AS GOOD AS YOURS.
ALL SET?
THE LEGISLATURE VOTED
TO GRANT US OUR VARIANCE
FOR THE NEW WELLNESS CENTER.
THAT'S WHAT YOU WERE
CELEBRATING?
WHO IS SHE?
OH, THE NEW FACILITIES
ADMINISTRATOR.
VERY CAPABLE WOMAN.
MM-HMM... AND BEAUTIFUL, TOO.
HMM... NOW, IS JORGE
YOUR BROTHER?
HE'S WALTER AND BETSY'S
REAL CHILD.
AND WALTER AND BETSY WOULD BE
YOUR FOSTER PARENTS?
DO YOU LIKE THEM?
PRIME BEACHFRONT
WHICH WE'RE TURNING INTO
A 5,000-ROOM HOTEL
AND THEME COMPLEX
GEARED TO THE WHOLE FAMILY.
I WANT TO GO HOME NOW.
DO YOU REALLY?
YEAH, REALLY.
OR IS THAT BECAUSE YOU'RE AFRAID
OF GOING BACK
TO A GROUP HOME?
YOU KNOW, WE GOT
SOME EXCEPTIONAL NEWS.
IS THERE SOMETHING
I SHOULD KNOW?
CAN YOU KEEP A SECRET
FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS?
I UNDERSTAND
WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH.
YOU DON'T KNOW NOTHING.
OH, BUT I DO.
I WAS ONCE IN A FOSTER HOME
MYSELF AS A CHILD.
YOU WERE A FOSTER CHILD?
YES.
BUT YOU'RE A DOCTOR.
SO?
WHAT'S FOR DINNER?
OH, YOU STILL HUNGRY?
THAT'S WHAT YOU WERE
CELEBRATING?
I IMAGINE THE GOVERNOR
WILL SIGN IT NEXT WEEK.
YOU UPSET?
THAT WAS, UH,
SOME LUNCH YOU HAD.
YEAH, I GUESS WE DID GET
A LITTLE CARRIED AWAY.
WHO IS SHE?
SO, THIS IS
YOUR PROMISED LAND, HUH?
PRIME BEACHFRONT
WHICH WE'RE TURNING INTO
MM-HMM... AND BEAUTIFUL, TOO.
YEAH, I GUESS
IF YOU LIKE THAT TYPE.
IS THAT WHY
YOU WERE ALL DRESSED UP?
WHAT?
THAT OLD RAG, YOU MEAN?
YOU KNOW, WE GOT
SOME EXCEPTIONAL NEWS.
I MADE A FEW WELL PLACED
CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS.
OH, YEAH... LEGAL BRIBES.
DAD...
I DID IT
LEGITIMATELY.
IS THAT SO HARD TO ACCEPT?
CAN YOU KEEP A SECRET
FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS?
SURE.
THE LEGISLATURE VOTED
TO GRANT US OUR VARIANCE
THE GUY WHO OWNS
THE KIDDY PARK
DONATED THE LAND.
IT'S THE KEY PARCEL.
YOU DON'T OWN THE LAND?
I'M GOING TO HAVE THE ONLY
VALID ONE IN CALIFORNIA.
WHO DID YOU BRIBE?
I MADE A FEW WELL PLACED
CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS.
YOU UPSET?
NO, SHOULD I BE?
WELL, YOU KNOW
THE WELLNESS CENTER'S
GOING TO BE
THE END OF PONYLAND.
I KNOW THAT WAS A BIG PART
OF YOUR CHILDHOOD.
OH, I THINK I CAN DEAL
WITH THAT, DAD.
JUST FINE.
WHAT'S FOR DINNER?
YOU DON'T OWN THE LAND?
TRUST ME, HE'LL SELL.
NO, YOU TRUST ME.
I'LL TAKE OVER FROM HERE.
THE GOVERNOR IS SIGNING
A PRIVATE BILL NEXT TUESDAY.
HE THINKS IT'S FOR
A WELLNESS CENTER.
GEARED TO THE WHOLE FAMILY.
DIDN'T SOME GUY WITH A MOUSE
ALREADY DO THAT?
HE LEFT OUT THE CASINO.
YEAH, BUT WE'RE GOING
FOR THE TRIFECTA.
AMUSEMENT PARK, VEGAS,
PACIFIC OCEAN.
IT'S HARD TO DO
WITHOUT A GAMING LICENSE.
I'M GOING TO HAVE THE ONLY
VALID ONE IN CALIFORNIA.
YOU LET A WOMAN GIVE
YOU ORDERS, EDDIE?
HE TOOK ORDERS
FROM MY BROTHER
WHEN HE WAS ALIVE.
THAT'S DIFFERENT.
THIS IS ABOUT
PERSUASION.
I'M THE PERSUADER.
IS THAT SO HARD TO ACCEPT?
HOW ARE YOU GOING TO GET
PEOPLE UP THERE?
IMPROVE THE
ACCESS ROADS
WIDEN THE HIGHWAY,
PUT IN A DOCK.
GOOD LUCK GETTING
THE PERMITS FOR THAT.
THE GOVERNOR IS SIGNING
A PRIVATE BILL NEXT TUESDAY.
YOU GOT A HOSPITAL
TO FRONT FOR YOU?
THE HOSPITAL'S FOR REAL.
THE GUY WHO OWNS
THE KIDDY PARK
AND THEN, UH,
WE'LL HAVE THE BOY RETURNED
TO HIS FOSTER FAMILY.
I'M AFRAID THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE.
DION'S RUNNING
A SURPRISINGLY HIGH FEVER
AND WE'RE NOT AUTHORIZED
TO RELEASE HIM
AT THIS TIME.
OH, I THOUGHT YOU CALLED US.
I'LL TAKE OVER FROM HERE.
WHO DO YOU THINK DOUBLED
THE FAMILY'S BUSINESS
OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS?
EDDIE.
HE DOESN'T HAVE THE BRAINS.
AH, SHE'S RIGHT, BOSS.
I'M NOT NEARLY
AS SMART AS SHE IS.
YOU LET A WOMAN GIVE
YOU ORDERS, EDDIE?
I'M AFRAID THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE.
AND YOU ARE?
DR. BENTLEY;
I'M ASSISTING DR. TRAVIS
IN THIS CASE.
DION'S RUNNING
THAT'S DIFFERENT.
WHY?
MY SON WAS SPEAKING FOR ME.
THIS IS MY PROJECT.
IT'S MY MONEY.
YOU HAVEN'T LOST A DIME.
AND I DON'T INTEND TO.
FROM NOW ON, THIS IS NOT ABOUT
LEGISLATORS AND LOOPHOLES.
THIS IS ABOUT
PERSUASION.
OH, I THOUGHT YOU CALLED US.
WELL, THAT'S MY FAULT.
HIS FEVER STARTED SPIKING
TEN MINUTES AGO
WHEN I WAS RETURNING
THE PAPERWORK.
JESSE, THE X-RAYS SHOW
MULTIPLE AREAS OF CALLUS
INDICATING OLD FRACTURES
OF THE ULNA.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME
DION HAD A FEVER?
JESSE, HE DOESN'T.
I WAS JUST TRYING
TO BUY SOME TIME.
JESSE, THE X-RAYS SHOW
MULTIPLE AREAS OF CALLUS
DR. TRAVIS,
I'M EMMA BORNSTEIN
FROM THE DEPARTMENT
OF SOCIAL SERVICES.
YOU CALLED US?
OH, YEAH, HI.
I TREATED A CLIENT
OF YOURS... DION STONE.
GREENSTICK FRACTURE
OF THE DISTAL RADIUS.
WHY DON'T YOU JUST SIGN
THE RELEASE FORM
NOT IF I HAVE ANYTHING
TO DO WITH IT.
Maya:
IF THEY'D KEPT HIM IN PRISON
FOR ONLY ONE MORE YEAR
I WOULDN'T BE HAVING
THESE PROBLEMS.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME
I'VE HEARD A DAUGHTER
OR THROWN INTO A GROUP HOME.
THAT'S EXACTLY HOW AN ALREADY
ABUSED CHILD ENDS UP DEAD.
NOT IF I HAVE ANYTHING
TO DO WITH IT.
YOU STILL WANT
HIS APPROVAL.
WHEN I WAS RETURNING
THE PAPERWORK.
OH, WELL... OKAY.
I HAVE SOME
OTHER BUSINESS
AT THE HOSPITAL.
BUT, NEXT TIME, DON'T CALL US
TILL YOU'RE READY
TO RELEASE, OKAY?
SURE.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME
DION HAD A FEVER?
NO.
I'VE BEEN RUNNING
THE BUSINESS SINCE
MY BROTHER DIED.
I'M NOT GOING TO LET MY
FATHER TAKE THAT AWAY.
AS YOUR ADVISOR
SO, YOU WERE RIGHT.
THIS IS AN ABUSIVE SITUATION.
WE'VE GOT TO TELL THEM.
THEY'LL START AN INVESTIGATION.
EXACTLY.
JESSE, IT TAKES A MINIMUM
OF 72 HOURS
TO CONDUCT AN INVESTIGATION.
DURING WHICH DION COULD BE
RETURNED TO HIS FOSTER PARENTS
OR THROWN INTO A GROUP HOME.
EITHER YOU FOLD YOUR HAND AND
LET YOUR FATHER RUN THINGS...
OR?
I THINK HE LOVES
THIS PLACE MORE NOW
THAN HE DID WHEN
HE WAS A LITTLE BOY.
LET'S GET HIM BACK OUT HERE.
THAT'S WHY I CAME TO TALK YOU.
IT PUTS THINGS
IN A VERY DIFFERENT LIGHT.
MEANING?
EITHER YOU FOLD YOUR HAND AND
LET YOUR FATHER RUN THINGS...
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME
I'VE HEARD A DAUGHTER
WISHING HER FATHER
STAYED IN JAIL.
JAIL'S WHERE HE'S BEEN
MOST OF MY LIFE.
I THOUGHT
HE NEVER LET YOU VISIT.
HE DIDN'T.
WE'D GET PHONE CALLS.
20 MINUTES FOR
THE HEIR APPARENT
AND THEN A QUICK
"LISTEN TO YOUR BROTHER,
PRINCESS" TO ME.
CHESTER, I
CANNOT GET OVER
YOU WANT TO MAKE IT A SURPRISE?
I'D SURE LIKE TO,
BUT YOU KNOW MY SON.
PRETTY SMART YOUNG FELLA.
AS YOUR ADVISOR
I'D HAVE TO SAY THAT
IF YOU WANT TO KEEP IT
YOU'LL HAVE TO STAND UP TO HIM.
MY BROTHER TRIED THAT.
HE'S DEAD NOW.
YOU REALLY THINK YOUR FATHER
KILLED HIS OWN SON?
YES.
IF YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT, MAYA
IT PUTS THINGS
IN A VERY DIFFERENT LIGHT.
THE SAME AS IT WAS
WHEN THEY WAS LITTLE.
YEAH, SURE.
I THINK STEVE FEELS
THE SAME WAY ABOUT IT.
I THINK HE LOVES
THIS PLACE MORE NOW
CHESTER, I
CANNOT GET OVER
HOW LITTLE THE
PLACE HAS CHANGED.
WELL, KIDS WOULDN'T
MIND A CHANGE
IT'S THE PARENTS AND
THE GRANDPARENTS WHO OBJECT.
OR?
YOU DO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.
MEANING?
WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.
HE'S GOING TRICK YOU OUT OF IT.
YOU WERE NEVER OUT HERE.
I NEVER SEEN YOU.
YOU GOT A DEAL.
PRETTY SMART YOUNG FELLA.
YEAH, WELL, YOU KNOW, HE'S GOING
TO THINK I'M CRAZY ANYWAY.
'CAUSE IF HE EVEN GETS A HINT
OF WHAT WE'RE UP TO
HE'S GOING TRICK YOU OUT OF IT.
I MEAN THE VIEW ITSELF IS
POSITIVELY THERAPEUTIC.
I GOT SOMETHING TO TELL YOU.
A YOUNG WOMAN WAS OUT HERE.
IT'S THE PARENTS AND
THE GRANDPARENTS WHO OBJECT.
THEY JUST WANT
TO SEE THE PLACE
THE SAME AS IT WAS
WHEN THEY WAS LITTLE.
UH-OH.
WELL, IT'S YOUR LAND, CHESTER.
I NEVER SAID YES.
A YOUNG WOMAN WAS OUT HERE.
OFFERED ME A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY
TO SELL IT.
UH-OH.
THAT'S WHY I CAME TO TALK YOU.
YOU KNOW,
HIS BIRTHDAY'S COMING UP.
YEAH, HE ALWAYS SPENT THEM
WITH US.
SURE DID.
I'D LIKE TO DO IT
ONE MORE TIME, CHESTER.
JUST FOR OLD TIMES' SAKE,
YOU KNOW.
BEFORE WE BREAK GROUND
FOR THE WELLNESS CENTER.
YOU WANT TO MAKE IT A SURPRISE?
SEE, CHESTER, YOU KNOW
WHAT OUR INTENTIONS ARE.
I THINK YOU SHOULD
GET ALL THE DETAILS
FROM HER THAT YOU GOT FROM US.
WELL, YOU KNOW, CHESTER
IF SHE'S GOING TO PAY YOU ALL
THAT MUCH MONEY FOR THIS PLACE
HOW'S SHE GOING TO MAKE
A PROFIT?
I MEAN, CERTAINLY NOT
KEEPING IT PONYLAND.
I NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT.
SEE, CHESTER, YOU KNOW
WHAT OUR INTENTIONS ARE.
YOU GOT A DEAL.
SOMETHING THE MATTER,
CHESTER?
WELL...
DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE
THAT THIS
IS THE BEST POSSIBLE PLACE
FOR THAT WELLNESS CENTER?
OH, YOU KIDDING?
I MEAN THE VIEW ITSELF IS
POSITIVELY THERAPEUTIC.
A TEMPORARY, YOU KNOW.
YEAH.
YEAH, I'LL CHANGE IT
AS SOON AS I GET BACK.
YOU KNOW, MAYBE THAT GUY
JUST GOT SCARED
I NEVER SAID YES.
JUST THAT I'D THINK ABOUT IT.
I SEE.
YOU KNOW, SHE WANTS
TO JUST KEEP IT
AN AMUSEMENT PARK.
YOU KNOW, LIKE PONYLAND
ONLY A LITTLE BIT
MORE UP-TO-DATE.
DID SHE SHOW YOU ANY PLANS?
NO.
WELL, YOU KNOW, CHESTER
WHEN IS IT?
I'LL SEND YOU A CARD
JUST LIKE I USED TO.
LOOK, CHESTER, THIS IS NOT
BIRTHDAY BUSINESS;
IT'S POLICE BUSINESS.
FROM HER THAT YOU GOT FROM US.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
I'LL DO IT.
AND WE CAN STILL HAVE
STEVE'S BIRTHDAY EITHER WAY.
ABSOLUTELY.
I PROMISE YOU,
I WON'T SAY A WORD.
ZIP.
GOOD MAN.
NOT RECENTLY... SOMEBODY
I CONVICTED, MAYBE.
IT'S HAPPENED BEFORE.
I ALREADY STARTED CHECKING.
SO FAR, THERE'S NOBODY
WITH THAT KIND OF GRUDGE
YOU KNOW, MAYBE THAT GUY
JUST GOT SCARED
AND RAN AWAY
WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE CAR.
MAYBE. I'D STILL BE CAREFUL.
AH, THIS IS ABOUT MY BIRTHDAY,
ISN'T IT?
YOU'RE HAVING A BIRTHDAY?
EVERY YEAR.
WHEN IS IT?
I CAN'T.
WHO YOU JUST LEFT,
BUT I CAN TELL YOU
WHO WAS HERE AND WHO WASN'T.
AH, THIS IS ABOUT MY BIRTHDAY,
ISN'T IT?
WE'LL TAKE THAT AND THE TIRE
BACK TO THE STATION
AND LOG THEM IN.
FIND ANYTHING?
COUPLE OF BLURRED FOOTPRINTS
AND SOME DISTURBED VEGETATION
BUT NOTHING I COULD
CALL A LEAD.
YOU KNOW, THIS
LAND'S POSTED.
NOBODY'S SUPPOSED TO
BE SHOOTING UP HERE.
IF IT WAS AN ACCIDENT,
THEY WOULD HAVE
MADE SURE
YOU WERE OKAY.
YEAH.
YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
WHY SOMEONE
WOULD BE SHOOTING AT YOU?
WELL...
HOW ABOUT YOU TALK TO MY DAD?
SURE. SEND HIM ON OUT.
I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM IN YEARS.
SO FAR, THERE'S NOBODY
WITH THAT KIND OF GRUDGE
THAT'S BEEN RELEASED
IN THE PAST YEAR.
YOU KNOW, THAT'S JUST
A TEMPORARY, YOU KNOW.
USING YOUR OFFICIAL POSITION
TO ATTEMPT TO OBTAIN
PERSONAL INFORMATION.
LOOK, ALL RIGHT, CHESTER,
YOU DON'T WANT TO TALK TO ME.
HOW ABOUT YOU TALK TO MY DAD?
MAYBE. I'D STILL BE CAREFUL.
OH, I WILL.
Steve:
I'M TELLING YOU
HE WAS JUST HERE.
AND I'M TELLING YOU
I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM.
CHESTER, I JUST LEFT MY DAD.
WELL, I CAN'T TELL YOU
WHO YOU JUST LEFT,
BUT I CAN TELL YOU
Chester:
I CAN'T TELL
WHETHER TO BE THRILLED
OR TERRIFIED ABOUT
THIS NEW ROTATION.
IF I WERE YOU, I'D
BE A LITTLE OF BOTH.
SHE'S DIABETIC.
GAVE HERSELF
TOO MUCH INSULIN
AND WENT
INTO A HYPOGLYCEMIC COMA.
Jesse:
STAT GLUCOSE.
AS SOON AS
WE GET THE LINE IN
WE, UH, WHAT, ALEX?
GIVE HER AN AMP OF D-50.
THERE YOU GO.
BIRTHDAY BUSINESS;
IT'S POLICE BUSINESS.
STEVE, I'VE ALWAYS HAD
THE UTMOST RESPECT FOR YOU
BUT DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
WHAT KIND OF TROUBLE
YOU MIGHT GET INTO
USING YOUR OFFICIAL POSITION
SHE JUST DRANK A GLASS
OF ORANGE JUICE.
INNER CITY. HUH.
WHAT DO YOU GUYS GOT?
SHE'S DIABETIC.
HE'S A STUDENT
PHYSICIAN HERE.
HOW YOU FEELING TODAY?
FOOLISH.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING?
I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM IN YEARS.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING?
OH, A LITTLE AFRAID.
ME, TOO.
IF I WERE YOU, I'D
BE A LITTLE OF BOTH.
WELL, I GUESS IT'S NOT QUITE
THE INNER CITY IN HERE.
BELIEVE ME, THE NEXT MONTH
YOU'RE GOING TO GET
PLENTY OF EXPERIENCE.
FOR EXAMPLE, RIGHT HERE,
THIS IS MR. BERMAN.
MR. BERMAN HAS HAD
AN ACUTE ALLERGIC REACTION.
FROM KISSING
HIS GIRLFRIEND?
THAT'S RIGHT.
HE'S ALLERGIC TO CITRUS.
SHE JUST DRANK A GLASS
OF ORANGE JUICE.
Amanda:
I'M NOT GOING TO LET THEM
TAKE YOU BACK THERE
AND I'M NOT GOING TO LET THEM
PUT YOU BACK
IN THAT GROUP HOME, EITHER.
YOU PROMISE?
WE'RE CALLING IT
"MOB WORLD."
I GOT A BETTER NAME...
WHAT TIME WOULD YOU
LIKE YOUR HIJACKING?
THAT AIN'T BAD.
NOT BAD?
THIS IS PRIMO, TECHNO...
CUTTING-EDGE VIRTUAL REALITY,
AND WHAT YOU'VE SEEN
THERE YOU GO.
MRS. PALMER...
YOU KNOW HER?
YEAH.
SHE'S A PATIENT
OF MARK'S.
SHE'S BEEN
HAVING TROUBLE
WITH HER MEMORY OVER
THE PAST SIX MONTHS.
DOES SHE LIVE ALONE?
WITH PART-TIME
HOME CARE, YEAH.
SHE'S EXACTLY THE TYPE
OF PATIENT THAT SHOULD BE
IN THE WELLNESS CENTER.
SOMEPLACE THAT COULD
SUPERVISE HER MEDICATION.
Jesse:
EXACTLY.
I JUST DON'T WANT
TO DIE ALONE IN A HOSPITAL.
THAT'S NO SIN.
NO ONE SAID THAT IT WAS.
MRS. PALMER,
THIS IS ALEX SMITH.
HE'S A STUDENT
PHYSICIAN HERE.
LIKE HAVE A VIRTUAL REALITY
SAINT VALENTINE'S DAY MASSACRE.
THAT'S GOOD.
Trisha:
MURDER, INC.'S
I LIKE IT.
Trisha:
HELLO. GANGLAND.
WHAT TIME WOULD YOU
LIKE YOUR HIJACKING?
Trisha:
MURDER, INC.'S
A REAL CLASSIC,
AND SINCE WE'RE IN L.A.
I MEAN, WHY
DON'T WE HAVE
BUGSY SIEGEL GETTING RUBBED OUT
IN BEVERLY HILLS?
Amanda:
I'M NOT GOING TO LET THEM
TAKE YOU BACK THERE
WELL, YOU HAVE TO HAVE,
UM... JOEY GALLO
GETTING HIT RIGHT OUTSIDE
OF UMBERTO'S CLAM HOUSE.
AND YOU MOST DEFINITELY HAVE
TO RECREATE PAUL CASTELLANO'S
YOU PROMISE?
I PROMISE.
YES.
YOU WANT TO RESET THAT?
EVERY TIME I SEE IT, I DUCK.
WE'RE CALLING IT
"MOB WORLD."
AND YOU MOST DEFINITELY HAVE
TO RECREATE PAUL CASTELLANO'S
MOST UNFORTUNATE ENCOUNTER
WITH JOHN GOTTI
RIGHT OUTSIDE
OF SPARK'S STEAK HOUSE.
I GOT A BETTER NAME...
"GANGLAND."
I LIKE IT.
WHAT DO I NEED CREDIT FOR?
YOU DON'T.
WHAT YOU'VE GOT TO DO
IS BREAK GROUND AND FAST.
IT WAS YOUR DAUGHTER'S IDEA.
WELL, THAT'S RIGHT,
TRISHA.
YOU SHOULD GIVE CREDIT
WHERE CREDIT'S DUE.
WHAT DO I NEED CREDIT FOR?
CUTTING-EDGE VIRTUAL REALITY,
AND WHAT YOU'VE SEEN
IS ONLY THE DEMO.
PLAYERS WILL BE ABLE
TO PICK AND CHOOSE
FROM ANY CITY
AND PERIOD THEY LIKE.
UH, EXCUSE ME,
MAY I MAKE A SUGGESTION?
YOU CAN MAKE ANY
KIND OF SUGGESTION
YOU LIKE, HONEY.
WELL, YOU SHOULD
MAKE IT HISTORICAL...
LIKE HAVE A VIRTUAL REALITY
SAINT VALENTINE'S DAY MASSACRE.
WE CAN DO ANYTHING.
WELL, YOU MADE A BELIEVER
OUT OF ME.
IT WAS YOUR DAUGHTER'S IDEA.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO.
YOU DON'T
BE TELLING...
YOU WENT THERE ALREADY.
NO, I DIDN'T.
DON'T LIE TO ME.
BUGSY SIEGEL GETTING RUBBED OUT
IN BEVERLY HILLS?
YOU REALLY KNOW
YOUR HISTORY, DON'T YOU?
YOU GETTING THIS DOWN?
HMM? UH, YES. EVERY WORD.
OH, ALL RIGHT.
WELL, YOU HAVE TO HAVE,
UM... JOEY GALLO
SO YOU DECIDED
TO FOLD, HUH?
DON'T LIE TO ME.
RIGHT OUTSIDE
OF SPARK'S STEAK HOUSE.
CAN YOU DO THAT?
WE CAN DO ANYTHING.
LET'S GO.
UM, COULD I JUST...
TALK TO YOU ABOUT SOME DETAILS?
BOY, I TELL YOU
DION'S A COMPLETELY
DIFFERENT KID
I MEAN, HERE I THOUGHT
YOU HAD IT EASY THE WHOLE TIME.
I MEAN, NOT THAT I DON'T KNOW
HOW HARD YOU WORKED
TO BECOME A DOCTOR
AND AN M.E.
WHAT YOU'VE GOT TO DO
IS BREAK GROUND AND FAST.
YEAH, COMPETITION'S
INCREDIBLE.
THERE'S A DOZEN
OTHER COMPANIES.
DON'T GET ME WRONG...
WE'RE THE BEST.
THE BEST IS NO GOOD
UNLESS YOU'RE FIRST.
EXACTLY.
YOU WANT I SHOULD PAY
THE OLD MAN A VISIT?
YOU DON'T HAVE TO.
THAT'S BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN
THROUGH SOME OF THE SAME THINGS.
WHAT ARE YOU TAKING ABOUT?
YOUR PARENTS ARE GREAT.
YEAH, I WAS LUCKY.
YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY.
WHAT?
UM...
JESSE...
YOU KNOW, I WAS GOING
TO GIVE YOU ENOUGH ROPE
JUST TO HANG YOURSELF.
NOW... YOU GO TO HELL.
THIS IS MINE.
LET'S GO.
WELL, I HAVEN'T TOLD
A LOT OF PEOPLE.
YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT
THAT I'M EMBARRASSED ABOUT IT.
IT'S JUST NOT SOMETHING
YOU GO AROUND
JUST TELLING ANYBODY.
SO YOU DECIDED
TO FOLD, HUH?
TO BECOME A DOCTOR
AND AN M.E.
AND A SINGLE MOM...
DOES IT MAKE
A DIFFERENCE?
I DON'T KNOW. YOU TELL ME.
DION'S A COMPLETELY
DIFFERENT KID
WHEN HE'S AROUND YOU.
MM-HMM. THANKS.
WE UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER.
YEAH, IT WAS LIKE YOU GUYS
HAD AN INSTANT BOND.
THAT'S BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN
THROUGH SOME OF THE SAME THINGS.
CHESTER?
OH, NO.
YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY.
YOU CAN'T CHOOSE YOUR PARENTS.
ACTUALLY, MY PARENTS CHOSE ME.
WHAT?
JESSE, CALL THE PARAMEDICS.
JESSE...
I WAS A FOSTER CHILD MYSELF.
WHY DIDN'T YOU EVER TELL ME?
WELL, I HAVEN'T TOLD
A LOT OF PEOPLE.
I'D HATE TO THINK
IT WAS TO STOP HIM
FROM DONATING THE PROPERTY.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
JUST TELLING ANYBODY.
WOW.
I MEAN, HERE I THOUGHT
YOU HAD IT EASY THE WHOLE TIME.
OH, NO.
HE'S BEEN SHOT.
IF HE HAD ANY OF THEM,
HE KEPT IT QUIET.
WHO INHERITS?
I DO.
WAY I HEAR IT
I DON'T KNOW. YOU TELL ME.
GOT AN ORDER
FOR A LUKACHEVSKI?
YEAH, COMING RIGHT UP.
Man:
OH, MY LEG.
OH, MY LEG...
JESSE, CALL THE PARAMEDICS.
NONE.
WAS HE HAVING
A DISPUTE WITH ANYONE?
INSURANCE COMPANY,
MAYBE
CHESTER?
CHESTER, I NEED
TO TALK TO YOU.
CHESTER, IT'S OKAY,
I'M HERE, TOO.
CHESTER?
I LOVED MY UNCLE.
INSURANCE COMPANY,
MAYBE
EVERY TIME THEY
RAISED THE RATES.
COURSE, WHEN
AN INSURANCE COMPANY
WANTS TO KILL SOMEBODY,
THEY DON'T USE A GUN.
IS HE DEAD?
WHY WOULD ANYBODY
KILL CHESTER CHUMLEY?
I'D HATE TO THINK
IT WAS TO STOP HIM
WE ALL DID.
LUCAS, I JUST NEED
TO KNOW HER NAME.
WELL, IT TURNS OUT
COMMUNITY GENERAL
WASN'T THE ONLY PARTY
INTERESTED IN THIS LAND.
WAY I HEAR IT
THIS HAS SUDDENLY
BECOME
A VERY VALUABLE
PIECE OF PROPERTY.
YOU CALLING ME
A SUSPECT?
YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
WHO MIGHT HAVE
KILLED YOUR UNCLE?
NONE.
FOR SOME LAWYER.
WHY WOULD I KILL AN OLD MAN?
SO HE WOULDN'T
DONATE HIS LAND.
LUCAS MAY BE A HOTHEAD,
BUT HE'S NOT A KILLER.
OH. OH, I SEE HOW THIS WORKS.
YOU K LUCAS,
SO HE COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT.
BUT A BUSINESSWOMAN
FROM OUT OF TOWN?
WANTS TO KILL SOMEBODY,
THEY DON'T USE A GUN.
WHAT ABOUT
A BUSINESS PARTNER?
CHESTER NEVER HAD ANY.
WOMEN?
IF HE HAD ANY OF THEM,
HE KEPT IT QUIET.
NOW, THERE'S A MAN
WITH A MOTIVE.
LUCAS MAY BE A HOTHEAD,
BUT HE'S NOT A KILLER.
I HEAR YOU'VE BEEN
DOING A LITTLE
OF THAT YOURSELF.
DION.
OH, MARK, YOU SHOULD
HAVE SEEN HIS FACE
WHEN I TOLD HIM
YOU CALLING ME
A SUSPECT?
IT'S MY JOB TO ASK QUESTIONS,
LUCAS.
FINE. ASK.
I HEAR THERE'S A WOMAN
THAT WANTS TO BUY.
THAT'S RIGHT.
THERE'S ALSO YOUR FATHER.
HE WANTS THIS PLACE, TOO.
I KNOW ABOUT
THE WELLNESS CENTER.
JUST BECAUSE CHESTER
WAS GIVING THIS PLACE AWAY
DOESN'T MEAN I'M GOING TO.
SO, ARE YOU GOING TO SELL?
STOP PRESSING ME.
I DIDN'T SAY THAT.
MARK, I AM SO SORRY
ABOUT CHESTER.
OH, CHESTER.
YOU KNOW, HE ALWAYS
SOUNDED SO GRUFF.
HE WAS A PUSSYCAT.
HE SPENT HIS LIFE
MAKING KIDS HAPPY.
I HEAR YOU'VE BEEN
DOING A LITTLE
OF THAT YOURSELF.
LUCAS, I JUST NEED
TO KNOW HER NAME.
MAYA SOMEBODY.
WAIT A SECOND.
SHE GAVE ME THE NUMBER
FOR SOME LAWYER.
BUT IF ALL YOU KNOW
IS BEING ABANDONED AND UNLOVED
THEN THAT'S YOUR REALITY.
I GUESS I NEVER THOUGHT
OF YOU THAT WAY.
THAT'S BECAUSE TWO EXTRAORDINARY
PEOPLE CHANGED MY LIFE
SO HE WOULDN'T
DONATE HIS LAND.
THAT'S PURE
SPECULATION.
THAT'S MOTIVE.
WHAT ABOUT THE KID?
NOW, THERE'S A MAN
WITH A MOTIVE.
YEAH.
THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER
IS THAT C.J. REALLY DOESN'T KNOW
WHAT HE'S GETTING HIMSELF INTO
BUT I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL
BE ABLE TO HANDLE THIS TOGETHER.
WELL, YOU'RE WELL
ON YOUR WAY TO THAT.
I'VE GIVEN IT A LOT OF THOUGHT
AND I REALLY WANT
TO DO THIS, MARK.
I WANT TO FOSTER HIM.
BUT A BUSINESSWOMAN
FROM OUT OF TOWN?
NOW, THERE'S A DIFFERENT STORY
ENTIRELY.
HE'S STILL ON THE SUSPECT LIST.
SO ARE YOU.
DO YOU HAVE
ONE PIECE OF EVIDENCE
AGAINST MY CLIENT?
DOES SHE HAVE AN ALIBI?
FISHING EXPEDITION'S OVER.
NOT...
ANOTHER WORD.
MARK, I AM SO SORRY
ABOUT CHESTER.
WHAT'S THE BAD NEWS?
WE HAVE NO HARD EVIDENCE
IN CHESTER'S MURDER.
WHAT'S THE WORSE NEWS?
AND THEN HE PUT ON
HIS BEST GROWN-UP FACE
AND HE SAID,
"MOM, YOU KNOW
"I'VE ALWAYS WANTED
A YOUNGER BROTHER
"BUT NOW THAT I'VE
THOUGHT ABOUT IT
BUT I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL
BE ABLE TO HANDLE THIS TOGETHER.
OH, OF COURSE YOU WILL.
LISTEN, IF YOU EVER
NEED ANY HELP.
WHEN I TOLD HIM
I WAS A FOSTER CHILD.
HE GAVE ME THIS LOOK LIKE
"A FOSTER CHILD CAN'T
HAVE A GOOD LIFE."
THAT'S NONSENSE.
OF COURSE IT'S NONSENSE
BUT IF ALL YOU KNOW
IS BEING ABANDONED AND UNLOVED
I DON'T THINK LUCAS
HAS ANY DESIRE
TO DONATE
HIS LAND.
I WISH THERE WAS SOMETHING
I COULD DO.
I THINK THE BEST THING
FOR US TO DO RIGHT NOW
THAT'S BECAUSE TWO EXTRAORDINARY
PEOPLE CHANGED MY LIFE
AND I WANT TO DO THAT FOR DION.
WELL, YOU'RE WELL
ON YOUR WAY TO THAT.
I THINK THE BEST THING
FOR US TO DO RIGHT NOW
IS JUST LEAVE HIM ALONE.
YOU KNOW, THERE IS ONE FAVOR.
ANYTHING, EXCEPT I'M NOT TAKING
YOUR TURN CLEANING THAT GRILL.
I WANT TO FOSTER HIM.
DOES C.J. KNOW
ABOUT THAT?
WE TALKED ABOUT IT LAST NIGHT.
WHAT DID HE SAY?
HE GOT VERY SERIOUS.
AND THEN HE PUT ON
HIS BEST GROWN-UP FACE
AND HE'LL TELL YOU THAT HIS
BLOOD ALCOHOL LEVEL WAS .17.
HE DOESN'T HAVE
TO TELL ME ANYTHING.
OUR INSURANCE ADJUSTER
WAS OUT HERE.
I'VE DECIDED AN OLDER BROTHER
WOULD BE EVEN BETTER."
HE'S SUCH A WONDERFUL KID.
YEAH.
YEAH, NO PROBLEM.
I'D DO IT MYSELF,
BUT, UH, YOU WERE HERE
WHEN IT HAPPENED.
BESIDES, I GOT
A GRILL TO CLEAN.
LISTEN, IF YOU EVER
NEED ANY HELP.
THERE IS
SOMETHING
YOU CAN HELP ME WITH.
EVEN IN EMERGENCY CIRCUMSTANCES
LIKE THIS ONE
THE DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN
AND FAMILY SERVICES
INSISTS THAT THEY APPROVE ME
AS A LEGAL
GUARDIAN
AND I WAS HOPING YOU'D BE
MY CHARACTER WITNESS.
YOU TELL ME WHEN AND WHERE.
I'LL BE THERE.
THANKS.
WELL, THERE'S BAD NEWS
AND WORSE NEWS.
WHAT'S THE BAD NEWS?
IT'S LIKE RIDING A BICYCLE.
ONCE YOU HAVE THAT STROKE
YOU JUST FALL RIGHT BACK
INTO THE RHYTHM AGAIN.
ANYTHING, EXCEPT I'M NOT TAKING
YOUR TURN CLEANING THAT GRILL.
YOU SAID ANYTHING.
REMEMBER THE GUY
THAT FELL IN HERE?
THAT WASN'T OUR FAULT.
MY DAD TREATED HIM.
AND HE'LL TELL YOU THAT HIS
BLOOD ALCOHOL LEVEL WAS .17.
NOT BAD FOR A MAN
WHO HASN'T PLAYED IN 20 YEARS.
NOT BAD AT ALL.
WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY...
IT'S LIKE RIDING A BICYCLE.
OUR INSURANCE ADJUSTER
WAS OUT HERE.
YOU MIND
MAKING SURE
DAD HAS A CONVERSATION WITH HIM?
YEAH, NO PROBLEM.
ARE YOU OKAY?
YOU LOOK...
GIVE ME A LITTLE ROOM HERE,
WILL YOU.
SAND.
NO, HE'S GOING TO COME TO YOU.
THEN I GOT NO PROBLEM.
YOU SOUND FUNNY.
YOU'RE THE MAN.
THE MAN DOES NOT GO
TO THE JOINT.
NO, HE'S GOING TO COME TO YOU.
YOU SOUND FUNNY.
WHAT?
I SAID YOU SOUND FUNNY.
WHY DON'T YOU GO TELL THAT
TO THE ADJUSTER?
I'M IMPRESSED.
YOU'RE TRYING
TO FLATTER ME?
NO, I'M JUST ADMIRING
YOUR SWING.
NOT BAD FOR A MAN
WHO HASN'T PLAYED IN 20 YEARS.
YEAH, HE FINISHED IN NO TIME.
WELL, NOBODY SPENDS MORE TIME
IN THE JOINT THAN THEY HAVE TO
DO THEY, FRIEND?
WHY DON'T YOU GO TELL THAT
TO THE ADJUSTER?
WHY WOULD I DO THAT?
YOU'RE HIS MESSENGER,
AREN'T YOU?
IS HE REALLY OUT ALREADY?
YEAH, HE FINISHED IN NO TIME.
THE ADJUSTER WAS OUT
TO SEE YOU.
THE ADJUSTER?
ABOUT THAT LITTLE MATTER
WHICH WAS NOT OUR FAULT.
WE DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING
TO DO WITH IT.
HE WANTS TO HEAR THAT FROM YOU.
PERSONALLY?
YOU'RE THE MAN.
DO THEY, FRIEND?
NO, HE'S DONE WITH THE PLACE.
AREN'T WE ALL?
AMANDA.
ABSOLUTELY.
I'LL BE THERE FOR THE INTERVIEW.
YES, I KNOW
AND I APOLOGIZE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT COULD HAVE
HAPPENED TO MARK.
IT ISN'T LIKE HIM.
HE'S ALWAYS ON TIME.
YOU KNOW, THIS IS
THE SECOND TIME
YOU'VE CALLED ME
OUT HERE
AND YOU WEREN'T PREPARED.
YES, I KNOW
YES?
THAT YOU HAVE THE TIME
AND THE ENERGY
TO PROTECT THAT YOUNG LIFE,
DR. BENTLEY?
ABSOLUTELY.
I'LL BE THERE FOR THE INTERVIEW.
TOMORROW MORNING,
FOURTH FLOOR CONFERENCE ROOM
10:00.
NO, YOU DON'T HAVE TO REMIND ME.
I'LL BE THERE.
ALL RIGHT, BYE.
Steve:
NO, AMANDA.
I FIGURED IT WAS HIS DAY OFF.
HE'S NOT IN THE HOUSE,
BUT HIS CAR'S IN THE DRIVEWAY.
ABSOLUTELY.
OKAY.
YOU, UH,
GET IN TOUCH
WITH YOUR DR. SLOAN
AND YOU CONTACT ME
ALL RIGHT, AMANDA,
LET ME CALL YOU BACK, OKAY?
AND HE CALLED IT A JOINT.
THAT JUST ISN'T MARK.
IT'S ALMOST AS IF
HE DIDN'T RECOGNIZE ME.
SOMETHING IS WRONG;
I FEEL IT.
IT ISN'T LIKE HIM.
HE'S ALWAYS ON TIME.
WELL, THAT WOULD BE
A FIRST FOR A PHYSICIAN
IN MY EXPERIENCE.
WELL, YOU MUST BELIEVE
THAT MAR...
DR. SLOAN IS VERY RESPECTFUL
OF YOUR TIME.
MAYBE HE WAS SUDDENLY CALLED IN
TO EMERGENCY SURGERY.
YEAH, SO SUDDEN THAT HE COULDN'T
WALK DOWN THE HALL
OR PICK UP A PHONE?
WELL, IF A LIFE
WERE AT STAKE...
WELL, IT IS.
THERE IS A LIFE AT STAKE.
THAT OF A FOSTER CHILD.
ARE YOU REALLY SURE
THAT YOU HAVE THE TIME
AND THE ENERGY
NO. OF COURSE NOT.
THE GOOD NEWS IS
THAT THEY CAN DO AN ANGIOPLASTY.
HE WAS ACTING REALLY
WEIRD YESTERDAY.
HE TOLD ME THAT HE
HATED BARBECUE BOB'S.
AND HE CALLED IT A JOINT.
WITH YOUR DR. SLOAN
AND YOU CONTACT ME
AND WE'LL MAKE
ANOTHER TIME, OKAY?
THANK YOU.
OKAY.
JUST SO YOU KNOW
IF DR. SLOAN DOES THIS AGAIN...
YOUR APPLICATION
WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
THE GOOD NEWS IS
THAT THEY CAN DO AN ANGIOPLASTY.
THAT REALLY DIMINISHES
THE DANGER.
THE QUESTION IS, SHOULD I GO?
YOU KNOW, I FIGURE
THERE'S NO DIRECT FLIGHT.
THAT'S ONE DAY THERE,
ANOTHER DAY BACK.
YOU KNOW, TWO DAYS WITH HIM.
HE'S NOT IN THE HOUSE,
BUT HIS CAR'S IN THE DRIVEWAY.
I THOUGHT HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN OUT
ON THE BEACH.
ALL RIGHT, AMANDA,
LET ME CALL YOU BACK, OKAY?
SHE MAY NOT HAVE
THAT MANY DAYS LEFT.
I WANT TO KEEP THAT PROMISE.
YOU KNOW, THIS
IS NOT LIKE MARK.
HE WAS ACTING REALLY
WEIRD YESTERDAY.
LIKE I'M KIND OF RESPONSIBLE.
LOOK, YOU'VE BEEN REALLY GREAT
WITH MRS. PALMER, BUT...
I KNOW,
SHE'S DR. SLOAN'S PATIENT.
SOMETHING IS WRONG;
I FEEL IT.
UH, DR. TRAVIS,
CAN I TALK TO YOU
FOR A MINUTE?
YEAH. IS THERE A PROBLEM
WITH MRS. PALMER?
NO, BUT CAN I TALK
TO YOU IN PRIVATE?
GO AHEAD. I'LL CATCH UP WITH YOU
IF ANYTHING CHANGES.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
I JUST GOT A CALL
FROM BURLINGTON.
MY FATHER HAD
A HEART ATTACK.
WELL, IS HE
ALL RIGHT?
SO FAR, SO GOOD.
THIS IS SO TYPICAL.
HAS HE HAD HEART
ATTACKS BEFORE?
NO, HE HAS CRISES.
THE DAY OF MY S.A.T.s
DAD WAS CLEANING UP THE GUTTERS
FELL AND BROKE BOTH LEGS.
THE DAY OF MY
COLLEGE GRADUATION
DAD SMASHED UP THE CAR
ON THE WAY TO THE CEREMONY.
NOW THIS.
NOBODY PLANS A HEART ATTACK.
MARK?
YOU KNOW, TWO DAYS WITH HIM.
THE WORST THING THAT HAPPENS
IS YOU REPEAT THE ROTATION.
NO, THE WORST THING THAT CAN
HAPPEN IS, WELL, MRS. PALMER.
YOU KNOW, I KIND OF FEEL
LIKE SHE'S MY FIRST
REAL PATIENT, YOU KNOW?
LIKE I'M KIND OF RESPONSIBLE.
I KNOW,
SHE'S DR. SLOAN'S PATIENT.
BUT HE DOESN'T HAVE THE TIME
THAT I DO.
LISTEN, IT'S YOUR DECISION.
I PROMISED HER
THAT I WOULD BE THERE
AND LOOK IN ON HER EVERY DAY.
SHE MAY NOT HAVE
THAT MANY DAYS LEFT.
JUST SO YOU UNDERSTAND,
IT WAS THIS OR KILL YOU.
AND I DIDN'T KILL HIM,
WHO KILLED HIM?
WELL, I DON'T KNOW.
MAYBE THE BUTLER DID IT.
YOU'RE A VERY CONFUSED
YOUNG LADY.
JUST SO YOU UNDERSTAND,
IT WAS THIS OR KILL YOU.
WELL, I GUESS I SHOULD BE
GRATEFUL FOR SMALL FAVORS.
DON'T THINK I WON'T
FINISH THE JOB.
MARK?
AMANDA?
AMANDA, WHEN'S THE LAST TIME
YOU SPOKE WITH MY FATHER?
WHY, SOMEBODY'S MAKING
A BIG MISTAKE AROUND HERE.
THAT'S TRUE.
AND IT'S YOU.
WELL, IF YOU DIDN'T KILL HIM
AND I DIDN'T KILL HIM,
WHO KILLED HIM?
WHAT A SURPRISE.
IT'S NOT LIKE I WAS GOING
TO CUT YOU OUT.
STEP OUTSIDE
A MINUTE, OKAY?
OH!
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
YEAH, YEAH.
WELL, WHAT HAPPENED?
NOTHING, YET.
DID YOU FORGET
ABOUT THIS MORNING?
DON'T THINK I WON'T
FINISH THE JOB.
I TAKE IT YOU'RE THE ONE
IN CHARGE HERE.
FINALLY.
NOW YOU'RE BEGINNING
TO UNDERSTAND.
OH, I THINK I AM.
THIS IS ABOUT PONYLAND.
WHAT A SURPRISE.
IT'S NOT LIKE I WAS GOING
TO CUT YOU OUT.
OH, I DON'T THINK I WANT
A PARTNERSHIP WITH YOU.
YOU'VE MADE THAT VERY CLEAR.
YOU CAN'T THINK YOU'RE GOING
TO GET AWAY WITH THIS.
THE POLICE HAVE YOU MARKED
AS THE NUMBER ONE SUSPECT
IN A MURDER.
YOU'RE THE ONE THAT KILLED
CHESTER CHUMLEY.
ME?!
WHY, SOMEBODY'S MAKING
A BIG MISTAKE AROUND HERE.
YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK
I KNOW YOU ANYMORE.
YOU NEVER DID.
YOU'RE A VERY CONFUSED
YOUNG LADY.
SOMETIMES I WISH
I COULD KILL YOU.
I REALLY DO.
DID YOU FORGET
ABOUT THIS MORNING?
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
THIS MORNING I WAS HITTING
GOLF BALLS ON THE BEACH.
GOLF BALLS? I TOLD THEM
YOU HAD A MEDICAL EMERGENCY.
DO I LOOK SICK TO YOU?
NO, YOU LOOK JUST FINE.
YOU'RE THE ONE WITH THE PROBLEM.
YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK
I KNOW YOU ANYMORE.
BOSS GETS KIDNAPPED,
HE GETS A PACKAGE.
YOU OR ME...
WE'D BE SHOT.
I'M HERE TO
CHEER YOU UP.
YOU'RE THE SECOND YOUNG LADY
TO COME HERE...
WAIT, WHY DO YOU KEEP CALLING ME
POOK?
NOW, THESE ARE
THE KEYS
TO THE MERCEDES
SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY.
I WOULD HAVE POSTED A GUARD.
TO KEEP YOU HERE
AGAINST YOUR WILL.
NOW, THE MINUTE YOU HEAR ME
SCREAM, OUT THE WINDOW
I WOULD HAVE POSTED A GUARD.
OF COURSE,
I WOULD HAVE NEVER
LET ME IN HERE,
ESPECIALLY IF I WAS TRYING
TO KEEP YOU HERE
AGAINST YOUR WILL.
DID MAYA TELL YOU
I WAS COMING?
YEAH.
GOOD.
OH. HOW YOU DOING, POOK?
Mark:
POOK?
I'M HERE TO
CHEER YOU UP.
ABOUT ME, POOK.
NOW REMEMBER,
LISTEN FOR THE SCREAM.
ALL RIGHT.
YOU'RE THE SECOND YOUNG LADY
TO COME HERE...
JUST BE QUIET
AND FOLLOW ME.
ALL RIGHT.
THEY WOULDN'T DARE.
ARE YOU CERTAIN OF THAT?
YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY
ABOUT ME, POOK.
YOU OR ME...
WE'D BE SHOT.
SHH.
YES, I REALLY
APPRECIATE
THE ATTENTION
BUT I HAVE GOT TO
GET OUT OF HERE.
YES, YOU DO.
CAN YOU HELP ME?
I'M WAY AHEAD OF YOU, POOK.
WAIT, WHY DO YOU KEEP CALLING ME
POOK?
OH, NO!
NOW, THE MINUTE YOU HEAR ME
SCREAM, OUT THE WINDOW
AND RUN.
BUT I CAN'T DO THAT.
I HAPPEN TO KNOW YOU'RE IN
EXCELLENT PHYSICAL CONDITION.
WELL, YES, I AM, THANK YOU
BUT I CAN'T LEAVE YOU HERE
WITH THEM.
OH, BELIEVE ME, THEY'RE NOT
GOING TO HURT ME.
THEY WOULDN'T DARE.
AND THEN HE SAID
HE WAS OUT PLAYING GOLF
WEARING THESE RIDICULOUS
SUNGLASSES.
THAT'S WHAT HE
WAS WEARING WHEN
I SAW HIM PLAY.
OKAY, HOLD THAT THOUGHT, POOKIE.
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK
WITH SOME DRINKS.
WHAT'S THAT?
OW.
AND THEN HE SAID
HE WAS OUT PLAYING GOLF
WEARING THESE RIDICULOUS
SUNGLASSES.
THAT'S WHAT HE
WAS WEARING WHEN
I SAW HIM PLAY.
HE WAS GREAT.
I DON'T KNOW.
MARK'S NEVER BEEN IRRESPONSIBLE
LIKE THIS BEFORE.
WELL, GOLF CAN MAKE
FOOLS OF US ALL.
WHAT DO YOU GOT?
PATIENT'S UNCONSCIOUS
WITH A BULLET WOUND
TO THE SHOULDER.
B.P. 90/50.
Amanda:
MY GOD, IS THAT MARK?
I BROKE MY ARM.
WHY IS SHE LOOKING AT MY LEG?
WHY DON'T YOU ASK ME?
I'M ASKING.
DAD?
SEE WHY HE DIDN'T WANT
YOU VISITING INSIDE?
LOOKING GOOD, MR. G.
HE'S RIGHT.
YOU LOOK GREAT.
JUST TAKES
SOME GETTING USED TO.
THANKS FOR TAKING CARE
OF MY LITTLE GIRL
THE LAST 20 YEARS.
LEAST I COULD DO, MR. G.
SO, HOW'S MY BUSINESS
IN ATLANTIC CITY?
WE'RE MOVING IT TO CALIFORNIA.
A LOT HAS CHANGED
SINCE YOU'VE BEEN AWAY.
WE NEED TO EXPAND THE BUSINESS.
STAKE OUT NEW TERRITORY.
AND WHOSE IDEA WAS THAT?
AND WHOSE IDEA WAS THAT?
MINE.
WE TOOK THE LIBERTY
OF BUYING YOU A NEW CAR.
WAIT TILL YOU USE
THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM.
WE HAD THE BOYS PUT IT IN
SPECIAL FOR YOU
DOWN AT THE GARAGE.
IT'S GREAT FOR
QUICK GETAWAYS.
YOU THINK I'M RUNNING, EDDIE?
I THINK MY FATHER
DESERVES THE BEST.
WE, UH, ALSO RENTED YOU A HOUSE.
YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE IT, DAD.
RIGHT ON THE BEACH IN MALIBU.
I'M NOT RETIRING.
MOVING WEST IS GOOD BUSINESS.
BETTER BE...
'CAUSE IT'S MY BUSINESS NOW.
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
MAY I HAVE A WORD WITH YOU,
DR. TRAVIS?
YEAH.
NOTHING.
NOTHING?
WELL, THE ALIGNMENT LOOKS GOOD
I TELL YOU WHAT...
AS THE DOCTOR
WHO SET THAT ARM,
I'M GOING TO BE
THE FIRST ONE
THAT SIGNS THAT CAST,
ALL RIGHT?
WHAT DO YOU SAY?
NOTHING?
YOU PAGED ME?
THIS IS DION.
HI, DION.
I'M DR. AMANDA BENTLEY.
WHAT'S SHE HERE FOR?
WELL, I CALLED HER IN
FOR A SECOND OPINION.
SOMETIMES THAT'S
WHAT DOCTORS DO.
DO YOU THINK IT'S A COINCIDENCE
THAT HE'S BROKEN
HIS LEG TWICE?
SHE SAYS I'M REAL CARELESS.
HMM... SOPHIE WILL FINISH UP
YOUR CAST, ALL RIGHT?
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
THERE YOU GO.
I'M ASKING.
YOUR LEG WAS ALSO BROKEN, DION.
THAT WAS LAST YEAR.
HOW DID YOU BREAK IT?
I FELL OUT A WINDOW.
WAS THAT THE FIRST TIME
YOU BROKE YOUR LEG
OR THE SECOND TIME?
BOTH TIMES.
SEE, MY MOM...
NOT MY REAL MOM
THERE YOU GO.
HMM... YOU KNOW, A MAN
COULD GET USED TO THIS.
NOT MY REAL MOM
MY MOM MOM.
DION'S IN FOSTER CARE.
SHE SAYS I'M REAL CARELESS.
AS YOUR OWN TOUR GUIDE
TO RELAXATION, OKAY?
GREAT WAY TO TRAVEL.
ALL SET?
GOOD... HI.
CAN I GO HOME NOW?
NO, NOT JUST YET, DION.
HE'S OBVIOUSLY
AN ABUSED FOSTER CHILD.
WHO BROUGHT HIM IN?
UH, HIS OLDER STEP-BROTHER.
I'D LIKE TO HAVE
A WORD WITH HIM.
EXCUSE ME.
WHO TRIES TO
TAKE MY PLACE.
DO YOU LIKE THEM?
THEY'RE OKAY.
I WANT TO GO HOME NOW.
NO, NOT JUST YET, DION.
I WANT TO TAKE
SOME X-RAYS FIRST.
JORGE SPLIT, DIDN'T HE?
IT'S MY JOB.
DISTRACTING ME?
NO, SHOWING YOU
THE LOCAL SIGHTS.
THINK OF ME
AS YOUR OWN TOUR GUIDE
TO RELAXATION, OKAY?
OF GOING BACK
TO A GROUP HOME?
I JUST WANT TO GO HOME.
DION, LISTEN TO ME.
I UNDERSTAND
WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH.
NOT AS GOOD AS YOURS.
HOW'D YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT?
I GET AROUND.
THAT WAS, UH,
SOME LUNCH YOU HAD.
YOU TELL MY DAUGHTER
AS MUCH AS I APPRECIATE
THE HOUSE... ALL THE SIGHTS
I'LL KILL ANYBODY
HI.
HEY.
HOW'S YOUR DAY?
NOT AS GOOD AS YOURS.
ALL SET?
THE LEGISLATURE VOTED
TO GRANT US OUR VARIANCE
FOR THE NEW WELLNESS CENTER.
THAT'S WHAT YOU WERE
CELEBRATING?
WHO IS SHE?
OH, THE NEW FACILITIES
ADMINISTRATOR.
VERY CAPABLE WOMAN.
MM-HMM... AND BEAUTIFUL, TOO.
HMM... NOW, IS JORGE
YOUR BROTHER?
HE'S WALTER AND BETSY'S
REAL CHILD.
AND WALTER AND BETSY WOULD BE
YOUR FOSTER PARENTS?
DO YOU LIKE THEM?
PRIME BEACHFRONT
WHICH WE'RE TURNING INTO
A 5,000-ROOM HOTEL
AND THEME COMPLEX
GEARED TO THE WHOLE FAMILY.
I WANT TO GO HOME NOW.
DO YOU REALLY?
YEAH, REALLY.
OR IS THAT BECAUSE YOU'RE AFRAID
OF GOING BACK
TO A GROUP HOME?
YOU KNOW, WE GOT
SOME EXCEPTIONAL NEWS.
IS THERE SOMETHING
I SHOULD KNOW?
CAN YOU KEEP A SECRET
FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS?
I UNDERSTAND
WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH.
YOU DON'T KNOW NOTHING.
OH, BUT I DO.
I WAS ONCE IN A FOSTER HOME
MYSELF AS A CHILD.
YOU WERE A FOSTER CHILD?
YES.
BUT YOU'RE A DOCTOR.
SO?
WHAT'S FOR DINNER?
OH, YOU STILL HUNGRY?
THAT'S WHAT YOU WERE
CELEBRATING?
I IMAGINE THE GOVERNOR
WILL SIGN IT NEXT WEEK.
YOU UPSET?
THAT WAS, UH,
SOME LUNCH YOU HAD.
YEAH, I GUESS WE DID GET
A LITTLE CARRIED AWAY.
WHO IS SHE?
SO, THIS IS
YOUR PROMISED LAND, HUH?
PRIME BEACHFRONT
WHICH WE'RE TURNING INTO
MM-HMM... AND BEAUTIFUL, TOO.
YEAH, I GUESS
IF YOU LIKE THAT TYPE.
IS THAT WHY
YOU WERE ALL DRESSED UP?
WHAT?
THAT OLD RAG, YOU MEAN?
YOU KNOW, WE GOT
SOME EXCEPTIONAL NEWS.
I MADE A FEW WELL PLACED
CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS.
OH, YEAH... LEGAL BRIBES.
DAD...
I DID IT
LEGITIMATELY.
IS THAT SO HARD TO ACCEPT?
CAN YOU KEEP A SECRET
FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS?
SURE.
THE LEGISLATURE VOTED
TO GRANT US OUR VARIANCE
THE GUY WHO OWNS
THE KIDDY PARK
DONATED THE LAND.
IT'S THE KEY PARCEL.
YOU DON'T OWN THE LAND?
I'M GOING TO HAVE THE ONLY
VALID ONE IN CALIFORNIA.
WHO DID YOU BRIBE?
I MADE A FEW WELL PLACED
CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS.
YOU UPSET?
NO, SHOULD I BE?
WELL, YOU KNOW
THE WELLNESS CENTER'S
GOING TO BE
THE END OF PONYLAND.
I KNOW THAT WAS A BIG PART
OF YOUR CHILDHOOD.
OH, I THINK I CAN DEAL
WITH THAT, DAD.
JUST FINE.
WHAT'S FOR DINNER?
YOU DON'T OWN THE LAND?
TRUST ME, HE'LL SELL.
NO, YOU TRUST ME.
I'LL TAKE OVER FROM HERE.
THE GOVERNOR IS SIGNING
A PRIVATE BILL NEXT TUESDAY.
HE THINKS IT'S FOR
A WELLNESS CENTER.
GEARED TO THE WHOLE FAMILY.
DIDN'T SOME GUY WITH A MOUSE
ALREADY DO THAT?
HE LEFT OUT THE CASINO.
YEAH, BUT WE'RE GOING
FOR THE TRIFECTA.
AMUSEMENT PARK, VEGAS,
PACIFIC OCEAN.
IT'S HARD TO DO
WITHOUT A GAMING LICENSE.
I'M GOING TO HAVE THE ONLY
VALID ONE IN CALIFORNIA.
YOU LET A WOMAN GIVE
YOU ORDERS, EDDIE?
HE TOOK ORDERS
FROM MY BROTHER
WHEN HE WAS ALIVE.
THAT'S DIFFERENT.
THIS IS ABOUT
PERSUASION.
I'M THE PERSUADER.
IS THAT SO HARD TO ACCEPT?
HOW ARE YOU GOING TO GET
PEOPLE UP THERE?
IMPROVE THE
ACCESS ROADS
WIDEN THE HIGHWAY,
PUT IN A DOCK.
GOOD LUCK GETTING
THE PERMITS FOR THAT.
THE GOVERNOR IS SIGNING
A PRIVATE BILL NEXT TUESDAY.
YOU GOT A HOSPITAL
TO FRONT FOR YOU?
THE HOSPITAL'S FOR REAL.
THE GUY WHO OWNS
THE KIDDY PARK
AND THEN, UH,
WE'LL HAVE THE BOY RETURNED
TO HIS FOSTER FAMILY.
I'M AFRAID THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE.
DION'S RUNNING
A SURPRISINGLY HIGH FEVER
AND WE'RE NOT AUTHORIZED
TO RELEASE HIM
AT THIS TIME.
OH, I THOUGHT YOU CALLED US.
I'LL TAKE OVER FROM HERE.
WHO DO YOU THINK DOUBLED
THE FAMILY'S BUSINESS
OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS?
EDDIE.
HE DOESN'T HAVE THE BRAINS.
AH, SHE'S RIGHT, BOSS.
I'M NOT NEARLY
AS SMART AS SHE IS.
YOU LET A WOMAN GIVE
YOU ORDERS, EDDIE?
I'M AFRAID THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE.
AND YOU ARE?
DR. BENTLEY;
I'M ASSISTING DR. TRAVIS
IN THIS CASE.
DION'S RUNNING
THAT'S DIFFERENT.
WHY?
MY SON WAS SPEAKING FOR ME.
THIS IS MY PROJECT.
IT'S MY MONEY.
YOU HAVEN'T LOST A DIME.
AND I DON'T INTEND TO.
FROM NOW ON, THIS IS NOT ABOUT
LEGISLATORS AND LOOPHOLES.
THIS IS ABOUT
PERSUASION.
OH, I THOUGHT YOU CALLED US.
WELL, THAT'S MY FAULT.
HIS FEVER STARTED SPIKING
TEN MINUTES AGO
WHEN I WAS RETURNING
THE PAPERWORK.
JESSE, THE X-RAYS SHOW
MULTIPLE AREAS OF CALLUS
INDICATING OLD FRACTURES
OF THE ULNA.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME
DION HAD A FEVER?
JESSE, HE DOESN'T.
I WAS JUST TRYING
TO BUY SOME TIME.
JESSE, THE X-RAYS SHOW
MULTIPLE AREAS OF CALLUS
DR. TRAVIS,
I'M EMMA BORNSTEIN
FROM THE DEPARTMENT
OF SOCIAL SERVICES.
YOU CALLED US?
OH, YEAH, HI.
I TREATED A CLIENT
OF YOURS... DION STONE.
GREENSTICK FRACTURE
OF THE DISTAL RADIUS.
WHY DON'T YOU JUST SIGN
THE RELEASE FORM
NOT IF I HAVE ANYTHING
TO DO WITH IT.
Maya:
IF THEY'D KEPT HIM IN PRISON
FOR ONLY ONE MORE YEAR
I WOULDN'T BE HAVING
THESE PROBLEMS.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME
I'VE HEARD A DAUGHTER
OR THROWN INTO A GROUP HOME.
THAT'S EXACTLY HOW AN ALREADY
ABUSED CHILD ENDS UP DEAD.
NOT IF I HAVE ANYTHING
TO DO WITH IT.
YOU STILL WANT
HIS APPROVAL.
WHEN I WAS RETURNING
THE PAPERWORK.
OH, WELL... OKAY.
I HAVE SOME
OTHER BUSINESS
AT THE HOSPITAL.
BUT, NEXT TIME, DON'T CALL US
TILL YOU'RE READY
TO RELEASE, OKAY?
SURE.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME
DION HAD A FEVER?
NO.
I'VE BEEN RUNNING
THE BUSINESS SINCE
MY BROTHER DIED.
I'M NOT GOING TO LET MY
FATHER TAKE THAT AWAY.
AS YOUR ADVISOR
SO, YOU WERE RIGHT.
THIS IS AN ABUSIVE SITUATION.
WE'VE GOT TO TELL THEM.
THEY'LL START AN INVESTIGATION.
EXACTLY.
JESSE, IT TAKES A MINIMUM
OF 72 HOURS
TO CONDUCT AN INVESTIGATION.
DURING WHICH DION COULD BE
RETURNED TO HIS FOSTER PARENTS
OR THROWN INTO A GROUP HOME.
EITHER YOU FOLD YOUR HAND AND
LET YOUR FATHER RUN THINGS...
OR?
I THINK HE LOVES
THIS PLACE MORE NOW
THAN HE DID WHEN
HE WAS A LITTLE BOY.
LET'S GET HIM BACK OUT HERE.
THAT'S WHY I CAME TO TALK YOU.
IT PUTS THINGS
IN A VERY DIFFERENT LIGHT.
MEANING?
EITHER YOU FOLD YOUR HAND AND
LET YOUR FATHER RUN THINGS...
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME
I'VE HEARD A DAUGHTER
WISHING HER FATHER
STAYED IN JAIL.
JAIL'S WHERE HE'S BEEN
MOST OF MY LIFE.
I THOUGHT
HE NEVER LET YOU VISIT.
HE DIDN'T.
WE'D GET PHONE CALLS.
20 MINUTES FOR
THE HEIR APPARENT
AND THEN A QUICK
"LISTEN TO YOUR BROTHER,
PRINCESS" TO ME.
CHESTER, I
CANNOT GET OVER
YOU WANT TO MAKE IT A SURPRISE?
I'D SURE LIKE TO,
BUT YOU KNOW MY SON.
PRETTY SMART YOUNG FELLA.
AS YOUR ADVISOR
I'D HAVE TO SAY THAT
IF YOU WANT TO KEEP IT
YOU'LL HAVE TO STAND UP TO HIM.
MY BROTHER TRIED THAT.
HE'S DEAD NOW.
YOU REALLY THINK YOUR FATHER
KILLED HIS OWN SON?
YES.
IF YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT, MAYA
IT PUTS THINGS
IN A VERY DIFFERENT LIGHT.
THE SAME AS IT WAS
WHEN THEY WAS LITTLE.
YEAH, SURE.
I THINK STEVE FEELS
THE SAME WAY ABOUT IT.
I THINK HE LOVES
THIS PLACE MORE NOW
CHESTER, I
CANNOT GET OVER
HOW LITTLE THE
PLACE HAS CHANGED.
WELL, KIDS WOULDN'T
MIND A CHANGE
IT'S THE PARENTS AND
THE GRANDPARENTS WHO OBJECT.
OR?
YOU DO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.
MEANING?
WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.
HE'S GOING TRICK YOU OUT OF IT.
YOU WERE NEVER OUT HERE.
I NEVER SEEN YOU.
YOU GOT A DEAL.
PRETTY SMART YOUNG FELLA.
YEAH, WELL, YOU KNOW, HE'S GOING
TO THINK I'M CRAZY ANYWAY.
'CAUSE IF HE EVEN GETS A HINT
OF WHAT WE'RE UP TO
HE'S GOING TRICK YOU OUT OF IT.
I MEAN THE VIEW ITSELF IS
POSITIVELY THERAPEUTIC.
I GOT SOMETHING TO TELL YOU.
A YOUNG WOMAN WAS OUT HERE.
IT'S THE PARENTS AND
THE GRANDPARENTS WHO OBJECT.
THEY JUST WANT
TO SEE THE PLACE
THE SAME AS IT WAS
WHEN THEY WAS LITTLE.
UH-OH.
WELL, IT'S YOUR LAND, CHESTER.
I NEVER SAID YES.
A YOUNG WOMAN WAS OUT HERE.
OFFERED ME A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY
TO SELL IT.
UH-OH.
THAT'S WHY I CAME TO TALK YOU.
YOU KNOW,
HIS BIRTHDAY'S COMING UP.
YEAH, HE ALWAYS SPENT THEM
WITH US.
SURE DID.
I'D LIKE TO DO IT
ONE MORE TIME, CHESTER.
JUST FOR OLD TIMES' SAKE,
YOU KNOW.
BEFORE WE BREAK GROUND
FOR THE WELLNESS CENTER.
YOU WANT TO MAKE IT A SURPRISE?
SEE, CHESTER, YOU KNOW
WHAT OUR INTENTIONS ARE.
I THINK YOU SHOULD
GET ALL THE DETAILS
FROM HER THAT YOU GOT FROM US.
WELL, YOU KNOW, CHESTER
IF SHE'S GOING TO PAY YOU ALL
THAT MUCH MONEY FOR THIS PLACE
HOW'S SHE GOING TO MAKE
A PROFIT?
I MEAN, CERTAINLY NOT
KEEPING IT PONYLAND.
I NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT.
SEE, CHESTER, YOU KNOW
WHAT OUR INTENTIONS ARE.
YOU GOT A DEAL.
SOMETHING THE MATTER,
CHESTER?
WELL...
DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE
THAT THIS
IS THE BEST POSSIBLE PLACE
FOR THAT WELLNESS CENTER?
OH, YOU KIDDING?
I MEAN THE VIEW ITSELF IS
POSITIVELY THERAPEUTIC.
A TEMPORARY, YOU KNOW.
YEAH.
YEAH, I'LL CHANGE IT
AS SOON AS I GET BACK.
YOU KNOW, MAYBE THAT GUY
JUST GOT SCARED
I NEVER SAID YES.
JUST THAT I'D THINK ABOUT IT.
I SEE.
YOU KNOW, SHE WANTS
TO JUST KEEP IT
AN AMUSEMENT PARK.
YOU KNOW, LIKE PONYLAND
ONLY A LITTLE BIT
MORE UP-TO-DATE.
DID SHE SHOW YOU ANY PLANS?
NO.
WELL, YOU KNOW, CHESTER
WHEN IS IT?
I'LL SEND YOU A CARD
JUST LIKE I USED TO.
LOOK, CHESTER, THIS IS NOT
BIRTHDAY BUSINESS;
IT'S POLICE BUSINESS.
FROM HER THAT YOU GOT FROM US.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
I'LL DO IT.
AND WE CAN STILL HAVE
STEVE'S BIRTHDAY EITHER WAY.
ABSOLUTELY.
I PROMISE YOU,
I WON'T SAY A WORD.
ZIP.
GOOD MAN.
NOT RECENTLY... SOMEBODY
I CONVICTED, MAYBE.
IT'S HAPPENED BEFORE.
I ALREADY STARTED CHECKING.
SO FAR, THERE'S NOBODY
WITH THAT KIND OF GRUDGE
YOU KNOW, MAYBE THAT GUY
JUST GOT SCARED
AND RAN AWAY
WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE CAR.
MAYBE. I'D STILL BE CAREFUL.
AH, THIS IS ABOUT MY BIRTHDAY,
ISN'T IT?
YOU'RE HAVING A BIRTHDAY?
EVERY YEAR.
WHEN IS IT?
I CAN'T.
WHO YOU JUST LEFT,
BUT I CAN TELL YOU
WHO WAS HERE AND WHO WASN'T.
AH, THIS IS ABOUT MY BIRTHDAY,
ISN'T IT?
WE'LL TAKE THAT AND THE TIRE
BACK TO THE STATION
AND LOG THEM IN.
FIND ANYTHING?
COUPLE OF BLURRED FOOTPRINTS
AND SOME DISTURBED VEGETATION
BUT NOTHING I COULD
CALL A LEAD.
YOU KNOW, THIS
LAND'S POSTED.
NOBODY'S SUPPOSED TO
BE SHOOTING UP HERE.
IF IT WAS AN ACCIDENT,
THEY WOULD HAVE
MADE SURE
YOU WERE OKAY.
YEAH.
YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
WHY SOMEONE
WOULD BE SHOOTING AT YOU?
WELL...
HOW ABOUT YOU TALK TO MY DAD?
SURE. SEND HIM ON OUT.
I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM IN YEARS.
SO FAR, THERE'S NOBODY
WITH THAT KIND OF GRUDGE
THAT'S BEEN RELEASED
IN THE PAST YEAR.
YOU KNOW, THAT'S JUST
A TEMPORARY, YOU KNOW.
USING YOUR OFFICIAL POSITION
TO ATTEMPT TO OBTAIN
PERSONAL INFORMATION.
LOOK, ALL RIGHT, CHESTER,
YOU DON'T WANT TO TALK TO ME.
HOW ABOUT YOU TALK TO MY DAD?
MAYBE. I'D STILL BE CAREFUL.
OH, I WILL.
Steve:
I'M TELLING YOU
HE WAS JUST HERE.
AND I'M TELLING YOU
I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM.
CHESTER, I JUST LEFT MY DAD.
WELL, I CAN'T TELL YOU
WHO YOU JUST LEFT,
BUT I CAN TELL YOU
Chester:
I CAN'T TELL
WHETHER TO BE THRILLED
OR TERRIFIED ABOUT
THIS NEW ROTATION.
IF I WERE YOU, I'D
BE A LITTLE OF BOTH.
SHE'S DIABETIC.
GAVE HERSELF
TOO MUCH INSULIN
AND WENT
INTO A HYPOGLYCEMIC COMA.
Jesse:
STAT GLUCOSE.
AS SOON AS
WE GET THE LINE IN
WE, UH, WHAT, ALEX?
GIVE HER AN AMP OF D-50.
THERE YOU GO.
BIRTHDAY BUSINESS;
IT'S POLICE BUSINESS.
STEVE, I'VE ALWAYS HAD
THE UTMOST RESPECT FOR YOU
BUT DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
WHAT KIND OF TROUBLE
YOU MIGHT GET INTO
USING YOUR OFFICIAL POSITION
SHE JUST DRANK A GLASS
OF ORANGE JUICE.
INNER CITY. HUH.
WHAT DO YOU GUYS GOT?
SHE'S DIABETIC.
HE'S A STUDENT
PHYSICIAN HERE.
HOW YOU FEELING TODAY?
FOOLISH.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING?
I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM IN YEARS.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING?
OH, A LITTLE AFRAID.
ME, TOO.
IF I WERE YOU, I'D
BE A LITTLE OF BOTH.
WELL, I GUESS IT'S NOT QUITE
THE INNER CITY IN HERE.
BELIEVE ME, THE NEXT MONTH
YOU'RE GOING TO GET
PLENTY OF EXPERIENCE.
FOR EXAMPLE, RIGHT HERE,
THIS IS MR. BERMAN.
MR. BERMAN HAS HAD
AN ACUTE ALLERGIC REACTION.
FROM KISSING
HIS GIRLFRIEND?
THAT'S RIGHT.
HE'S ALLERGIC TO CITRUS.
SHE JUST DRANK A GLASS
OF ORANGE JUICE.
Amanda:
I'M NOT GOING TO LET THEM
TAKE YOU BACK THERE
AND I'M NOT GOING TO LET THEM
PUT YOU BACK
IN THAT GROUP HOME, EITHER.
YOU PROMISE?
WE'RE CALLING IT
"MOB WORLD."
I GOT A BETTER NAME...
WHAT TIME WOULD YOU
LIKE YOUR HIJACKING?
THAT AIN'T BAD.
NOT BAD?
THIS IS PRIMO, TECHNO...
CUTTING-EDGE VIRTUAL REALITY,
AND WHAT YOU'VE SEEN
THERE YOU GO.
MRS. PALMER...
YOU KNOW HER?
YEAH.
SHE'S A PATIENT
OF MARK'S.
SHE'S BEEN
HAVING TROUBLE
WITH HER MEMORY OVER
THE PAST SIX MONTHS.
DOES SHE LIVE ALONE?
WITH PART-TIME
HOME CARE, YEAH.
SHE'S EXACTLY THE TYPE
OF PATIENT THAT SHOULD BE
IN THE WELLNESS CENTER.
SOMEPLACE THAT COULD
SUPERVISE HER MEDICATION.
Jesse:
EXACTLY.
I JUST DON'T WANT
TO DIE ALONE IN A HOSPITAL.
THAT'S NO SIN.
NO ONE SAID THAT IT WAS.
MRS. PALMER,
THIS IS ALEX SMITH.
HE'S A STUDENT
PHYSICIAN HERE.
LIKE HAVE A VIRTUAL REALITY
SAINT VALENTINE'S DAY MASSACRE.
THAT'S GOOD.
Trisha:
MURDER, INC.'S
I LIKE IT.
Trisha:
HELLO. GANGLAND.
WHAT TIME WOULD YOU
LIKE YOUR HIJACKING?
Trisha:
MURDER, INC.'S
A REAL CLASSIC,
AND SINCE WE'RE IN L.A.
I MEAN, WHY
DON'T WE HAVE
BUGSY SIEGEL GETTING RUBBED OUT
IN BEVERLY HILLS?
Amanda:
I'M NOT GOING TO LET THEM
TAKE YOU BACK THERE
WELL, YOU HAVE TO HAVE,
UM... JOEY GALLO
GETTING HIT RIGHT OUTSIDE
OF UMBERTO'S CLAM HOUSE.
AND YOU MOST DEFINITELY HAVE
TO RECREATE PAUL CASTELLANO'S
YOU PROMISE?
I PROMISE.
YES.
YOU WANT TO RESET THAT?
EVERY TIME I SEE IT, I DUCK.
WE'RE CALLING IT
"MOB WORLD."
AND YOU MOST DEFINITELY HAVE
TO RECREATE PAUL CASTELLANO'S
MOST UNFORTUNATE ENCOUNTER
WITH JOHN GOTTI
RIGHT OUTSIDE
OF SPARK'S STEAK HOUSE.
I GOT A BETTER NAME...
"GANGLAND."
I LIKE IT.
WHAT DO I NEED CREDIT FOR?
YOU DON'T.
WHAT YOU'VE GOT TO DO
IS BREAK GROUND AND FAST.
IT WAS YOUR DAUGHTER'S IDEA.
WELL, THAT'S RIGHT,
TRISHA.
YOU SHOULD GIVE CREDIT
WHERE CREDIT'S DUE.
WHAT DO I NEED CREDIT FOR?
CUTTING-EDGE VIRTUAL REALITY,
AND WHAT YOU'VE SEEN
IS ONLY THE DEMO.
PLAYERS WILL BE ABLE
TO PICK AND CHOOSE
FROM ANY CITY
AND PERIOD THEY LIKE.
UH, EXCUSE ME,
MAY I MAKE A SUGGESTION?
YOU CAN MAKE ANY
KIND OF SUGGESTION
YOU LIKE, HONEY.
WELL, YOU SHOULD
MAKE IT HISTORICAL...
LIKE HAVE A VIRTUAL REALITY
SAINT VALENTINE'S DAY MASSACRE.
WE CAN DO ANYTHING.
WELL, YOU MADE A BELIEVER
OUT OF ME.
IT WAS YOUR DAUGHTER'S IDEA.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO.
YOU DON'T
BE TELLING...
YOU WENT THERE ALREADY.
NO, I DIDN'T.
DON'T LIE TO ME.
BUGSY SIEGEL GETTING RUBBED OUT
IN BEVERLY HILLS?
YOU REALLY KNOW
YOUR HISTORY, DON'T YOU?
YOU GETTING THIS DOWN?
HMM? UH, YES. EVERY WORD.
OH, ALL RIGHT.
WELL, YOU HAVE TO HAVE,
UM... JOEY GALLO
SO YOU DECIDED
TO FOLD, HUH?
DON'T LIE TO ME.
RIGHT OUTSIDE
OF SPARK'S STEAK HOUSE.
CAN YOU DO THAT?
WE CAN DO ANYTHING.
LET'S GO.
UM, COULD I JUST...
TALK TO YOU ABOUT SOME DETAILS?
BOY, I TELL YOU
DION'S A COMPLETELY
DIFFERENT KID
I MEAN, HERE I THOUGHT
YOU HAD IT EASY THE WHOLE TIME.
I MEAN, NOT THAT I DON'T KNOW
HOW HARD YOU WORKED
TO BECOME A DOCTOR
AND AN M.E.
WHAT YOU'VE GOT TO DO
IS BREAK GROUND AND FAST.
YEAH, COMPETITION'S
INCREDIBLE.
THERE'S A DOZEN
OTHER COMPANIES.
DON'T GET ME WRONG...
WE'RE THE BEST.
THE BEST IS NO GOOD
UNLESS YOU'RE FIRST.
EXACTLY.
YOU WANT I SHOULD PAY
THE OLD MAN A VISIT?
YOU DON'T HAVE TO.
THAT'S BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN
THROUGH SOME OF THE SAME THINGS.
WHAT ARE YOU TAKING ABOUT?
YOUR PARENTS ARE GREAT.
YEAH, I WAS LUCKY.
YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY.
WHAT?
UM...
JESSE...
YOU KNOW, I WAS GOING
TO GIVE YOU ENOUGH ROPE
JUST TO HANG YOURSELF.
NOW... YOU GO TO HELL.
THIS IS MINE.
LET'S GO.
WELL, I HAVEN'T TOLD
A LOT OF PEOPLE.
YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT
THAT I'M EMBARRASSED ABOUT IT.
IT'S JUST NOT SOMETHING
YOU GO AROUND
JUST TELLING ANYBODY.
SO YOU DECIDED
TO FOLD, HUH?
TO BECOME A DOCTOR
AND AN M.E.
AND A SINGLE MOM...
DOES IT MAKE
A DIFFERENCE?
I DON'T KNOW. YOU TELL ME.
DION'S A COMPLETELY
DIFFERENT KID
WHEN HE'S AROUND YOU.
MM-HMM. THANKS.
WE UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER.
YEAH, IT WAS LIKE YOU GUYS
HAD AN INSTANT BOND.
THAT'S BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN
THROUGH SOME OF THE SAME THINGS.
CHESTER?
OH, NO.
YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY.
YOU CAN'T CHOOSE YOUR PARENTS.
ACTUALLY, MY PARENTS CHOSE ME.
WHAT?
JESSE, CALL THE PARAMEDICS.
JESSE...
I WAS A FOSTER CHILD MYSELF.
WHY DIDN'T YOU EVER TELL ME?
WELL, I HAVEN'T TOLD
A LOT OF PEOPLE.
I'D HATE TO THINK
IT WAS TO STOP HIM
FROM DONATING THE PROPERTY.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
JUST TELLING ANYBODY.
WOW.
I MEAN, HERE I THOUGHT
YOU HAD IT EASY THE WHOLE TIME.
OH, NO.
HE'S BEEN SHOT.
IF HE HAD ANY OF THEM,
HE KEPT IT QUIET.
WHO INHERITS?
I DO.
WAY I HEAR IT
I DON'T KNOW. YOU TELL ME.
GOT AN ORDER
FOR A LUKACHEVSKI?
YEAH, COMING RIGHT UP.
Man:
OH, MY LEG.
OH, MY LEG...
JESSE, CALL THE PARAMEDICS.
NONE.
WAS HE HAVING
A DISPUTE WITH ANYONE?
INSURANCE COMPANY,
MAYBE
CHESTER?
CHESTER, I NEED
TO TALK TO YOU.
CHESTER, IT'S OKAY,
I'M HERE, TOO.
CHESTER?
I LOVED MY UNCLE.
INSURANCE COMPANY,
MAYBE
EVERY TIME THEY
RAISED THE RATES.
COURSE, WHEN
AN INSURANCE COMPANY
WANTS TO KILL SOMEBODY,
THEY DON'T USE A GUN.
IS HE DEAD?
WHY WOULD ANYBODY
KILL CHESTER CHUMLEY?
I'D HATE TO THINK
IT WAS TO STOP HIM
WE ALL DID.
LUCAS, I JUST NEED
TO KNOW HER NAME.
WELL, IT TURNS OUT
COMMUNITY GENERAL
WASN'T THE ONLY PARTY
INTERESTED IN THIS LAND.
WAY I HEAR IT
THIS HAS SUDDENLY
BECOME
A VERY VALUABLE
PIECE OF PROPERTY.
YOU CALLING ME
A SUSPECT?
YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
WHO MIGHT HAVE
KILLED YOUR UNCLE?
NONE.
FOR SOME LAWYER.
WHY WOULD I KILL AN OLD MAN?
SO HE WOULDN'T
DONATE HIS LAND.
LUCAS MAY BE A HOTHEAD,
BUT HE'S NOT A KILLER.
OH. OH, I SEE HOW THIS WORKS.
YOU K LUCAS,
SO HE COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT.
BUT A BUSINESSWOMAN
FROM OUT OF TOWN?
WANTS TO KILL SOMEBODY,
THEY DON'T USE A GUN.
WHAT ABOUT
A BUSINESS PARTNER?
CHESTER NEVER HAD ANY.
WOMEN?
IF HE HAD ANY OF THEM,
HE KEPT IT QUIET.
NOW, THERE'S A MAN
WITH A MOTIVE.
LUCAS MAY BE A HOTHEAD,
BUT HE'S NOT A KILLER.
I HEAR YOU'VE BEEN
DOING A LITTLE
OF THAT YOURSELF.
DION.
OH, MARK, YOU SHOULD
HAVE SEEN HIS FACE
WHEN I TOLD HIM
YOU CALLING ME
A SUSPECT?
IT'S MY JOB TO ASK QUESTIONS,
LUCAS.
FINE. ASK.
I HEAR THERE'S A WOMAN
THAT WANTS TO BUY.
THAT'S RIGHT.
THERE'S ALSO YOUR FATHER.
HE WANTS THIS PLACE, TOO.
I KNOW ABOUT
THE WELLNESS CENTER.
JUST BECAUSE CHESTER
WAS GIVING THIS PLACE AWAY
DOESN'T MEAN I'M GOING TO.
SO, ARE YOU GOING TO SELL?
STOP PRESSING ME.
I DIDN'T SAY THAT.
MARK, I AM SO SORRY
ABOUT CHESTER.
OH, CHESTER.
YOU KNOW, HE ALWAYS
SOUNDED SO GRUFF.
HE WAS A PUSSYCAT.
HE SPENT HIS LIFE
MAKING KIDS HAPPY.
I HEAR YOU'VE BEEN
DOING A LITTLE
OF THAT YOURSELF.
LUCAS, I JUST NEED
TO KNOW HER NAME.
MAYA SOMEBODY.
WAIT A SECOND.
SHE GAVE ME THE NUMBER
FOR SOME LAWYER.
BUT IF ALL YOU KNOW
IS BEING ABANDONED AND UNLOVED
THEN THAT'S YOUR REALITY.
I GUESS I NEVER THOUGHT
OF YOU THAT WAY.
THAT'S BECAUSE TWO EXTRAORDINARY
PEOPLE CHANGED MY LIFE
SO HE WOULDN'T
DONATE HIS LAND.
THAT'S PURE
SPECULATION.
THAT'S MOTIVE.
WHAT ABOUT THE KID?
NOW, THERE'S A MAN
WITH A MOTIVE.
YEAH.
THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER
IS THAT C.J. REALLY DOESN'T KNOW
WHAT HE'S GETTING HIMSELF INTO
BUT I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL
BE ABLE TO HANDLE THIS TOGETHER.
WELL, YOU'RE WELL
ON YOUR WAY TO THAT.
I'VE GIVEN IT A LOT OF THOUGHT
AND I REALLY WANT
TO DO THIS, MARK.
I WANT TO FOSTER HIM.
BUT A BUSINESSWOMAN
FROM OUT OF TOWN?
NOW, THERE'S A DIFFERENT STORY
ENTIRELY.
HE'S STILL ON THE SUSPECT LIST.
SO ARE YOU.
DO YOU HAVE
ONE PIECE OF EVIDENCE
AGAINST MY CLIENT?
DOES SHE HAVE AN ALIBI?
FISHING EXPEDITION'S OVER.
NOT...
ANOTHER WORD.
MARK, I AM SO SORRY
ABOUT CHESTER.
WHAT'S THE BAD NEWS?
WE HAVE NO HARD EVIDENCE
IN CHESTER'S MURDER.
WHAT'S THE WORSE NEWS?
AND THEN HE PUT ON
HIS BEST GROWN-UP FACE
AND HE SAID,
"MOM, YOU KNOW
"I'VE ALWAYS WANTED
A YOUNGER BROTHER
"BUT NOW THAT I'VE
THOUGHT ABOUT IT
BUT I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL
BE ABLE TO HANDLE THIS TOGETHER.
OH, OF COURSE YOU WILL.
LISTEN, IF YOU EVER
NEED ANY HELP.
WHEN I TOLD HIM
I WAS A FOSTER CHILD.
HE GAVE ME THIS LOOK LIKE
"A FOSTER CHILD CAN'T
HAVE A GOOD LIFE."
THAT'S NONSENSE.
OF COURSE IT'S NONSENSE
BUT IF ALL YOU KNOW
IS BEING ABANDONED AND UNLOVED
I DON'T THINK LUCAS
HAS ANY DESIRE
TO DONATE
HIS LAND.
I WISH THERE WAS SOMETHING
I COULD DO.
I THINK THE BEST THING
FOR US TO DO RIGHT NOW
THAT'S BECAUSE TWO EXTRAORDINARY
PEOPLE CHANGED MY LIFE
AND I WANT TO DO THAT FOR DION.
WELL, YOU'RE WELL
ON YOUR WAY TO THAT.
I THINK THE BEST THING
FOR US TO DO RIGHT NOW
IS JUST LEAVE HIM ALONE.
YOU KNOW, THERE IS ONE FAVOR.
ANYTHING, EXCEPT I'M NOT TAKING
YOUR TURN CLEANING THAT GRILL.
I WANT TO FOSTER HIM.
DOES C.J. KNOW
ABOUT THAT?
WE TALKED ABOUT IT LAST NIGHT.
WHAT DID HE SAY?
HE GOT VERY SERIOUS.
AND THEN HE PUT ON
HIS BEST GROWN-UP FACE
AND HE'LL TELL YOU THAT HIS
BLOOD ALCOHOL LEVEL WAS .17.
HE DOESN'T HAVE
TO TELL ME ANYTHING.
OUR INSURANCE ADJUSTER
WAS OUT HERE.
I'VE DECIDED AN OLDER BROTHER
WOULD BE EVEN BETTER."
HE'S SUCH A WONDERFUL KID.
YEAH.
YEAH, NO PROBLEM.
I'D DO IT MYSELF,
BUT, UH, YOU WERE HERE
WHEN IT HAPPENED.
BESIDES, I GOT
A GRILL TO CLEAN.
LISTEN, IF YOU EVER
NEED ANY HELP.
THERE IS
SOMETHING
YOU CAN HELP ME WITH.
EVEN IN EMERGENCY CIRCUMSTANCES
LIKE THIS ONE
THE DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN
AND FAMILY SERVICES
INSISTS THAT THEY APPROVE ME
AS A LEGAL
GUARDIAN
AND I WAS HOPING YOU'D BE
MY CHARACTER WITNESS.
YOU TELL ME WHEN AND WHERE.
I'LL BE THERE.
THANKS.
WELL, THERE'S BAD NEWS
AND WORSE NEWS.
WHAT'S THE BAD NEWS?
IT'S LIKE RIDING A BICYCLE.
ONCE YOU HAVE THAT STROKE
YOU JUST FALL RIGHT BACK
INTO THE RHYTHM AGAIN.
ANYTHING, EXCEPT I'M NOT TAKING
YOUR TURN CLEANING THAT GRILL.
YOU SAID ANYTHING.
REMEMBER THE GUY
THAT FELL IN HERE?
THAT WASN'T OUR FAULT.
MY DAD TREATED HIM.
AND HE'LL TELL YOU THAT HIS
BLOOD ALCOHOL LEVEL WAS .17.
NOT BAD FOR A MAN
WHO HASN'T PLAYED IN 20 YEARS.
NOT BAD AT ALL.
WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY...
IT'S LIKE RIDING A BICYCLE.
OUR INSURANCE ADJUSTER
WAS OUT HERE.
YOU MIND
MAKING SURE
DAD HAS A CONVERSATION WITH HIM?
YEAH, NO PROBLEM.
ARE YOU OKAY?
YOU LOOK...
GIVE ME A LITTLE ROOM HERE,
WILL YOU.
SAND.
NO, HE'S GOING TO COME TO YOU.
THEN I GOT NO PROBLEM.
YOU SOUND FUNNY.
YOU'RE THE MAN.
THE MAN DOES NOT GO
TO THE JOINT.
NO, HE'S GOING TO COME TO YOU.
YOU SOUND FUNNY.
WHAT?
I SAID YOU SOUND FUNNY.
WHY DON'T YOU GO TELL THAT
TO THE ADJUSTER?
I'M IMPRESSED.
YOU'RE TRYING
TO FLATTER ME?
NO, I'M JUST ADMIRING
YOUR SWING.
NOT BAD FOR A MAN
WHO HASN'T PLAYED IN 20 YEARS.
YEAH, HE FINISHED IN NO TIME.
WELL, NOBODY SPENDS MORE TIME
IN THE JOINT THAN THEY HAVE TO
DO THEY, FRIEND?
WHY DON'T YOU GO TELL THAT
TO THE ADJUSTER?
WHY WOULD I DO THAT?
YOU'RE HIS MESSENGER,
AREN'T YOU?
IS HE REALLY OUT ALREADY?
YEAH, HE FINISHED IN NO TIME.
THE ADJUSTER WAS OUT
TO SEE YOU.
THE ADJUSTER?
ABOUT THAT LITTLE MATTER
WHICH WAS NOT OUR FAULT.
WE DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING
TO DO WITH IT.
HE WANTS TO HEAR THAT FROM YOU.
PERSONALLY?
YOU'RE THE MAN.
DO THEY, FRIEND?
NO, HE'S DONE WITH THE PLACE.
AREN'T WE ALL?
AMANDA.
ABSOLUTELY.
I'LL BE THERE FOR THE INTERVIEW.
YES, I KNOW
AND I APOLOGIZE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT COULD HAVE
HAPPENED TO MARK.
IT ISN'T LIKE HIM.
HE'S ALWAYS ON TIME.
YOU KNOW, THIS IS
THE SECOND TIME
YOU'VE CALLED ME
OUT HERE
AND YOU WEREN'T PREPARED.
YES, I KNOW
YES?
THAT YOU HAVE THE TIME
AND THE ENERGY
TO PROTECT THAT YOUNG LIFE,
DR. BENTLEY?
ABSOLUTELY.
I'LL BE THERE FOR THE INTERVIEW.
TOMORROW MORNING,
FOURTH FLOOR CONFERENCE ROOM
10:00.
NO, YOU DON'T HAVE TO REMIND ME.
I'LL BE THERE.
ALL RIGHT, BYE.
Steve:
NO, AMANDA.
I FIGURED IT WAS HIS DAY OFF.
HE'S NOT IN THE HOUSE,
BUT HIS CAR'S IN THE DRIVEWAY.
ABSOLUTELY.
OKAY.
YOU, UH,
GET IN TOUCH
WITH YOUR DR. SLOAN
AND YOU CONTACT ME
ALL RIGHT, AMANDA,
LET ME CALL YOU BACK, OKAY?
AND HE CALLED IT A JOINT.
THAT JUST ISN'T MARK.
IT'S ALMOST AS IF
HE DIDN'T RECOGNIZE ME.
SOMETHING IS WRONG;
I FEEL IT.
IT ISN'T LIKE HIM.
HE'S ALWAYS ON TIME.
WELL, THAT WOULD BE
A FIRST FOR A PHYSICIAN
IN MY EXPERIENCE.
WELL, YOU MUST BELIEVE
THAT MAR...
DR. SLOAN IS VERY RESPECTFUL
OF YOUR TIME.
MAYBE HE WAS SUDDENLY CALLED IN
TO EMERGENCY SURGERY.
YEAH, SO SUDDEN THAT HE COULDN'T
WALK DOWN THE HALL
OR PICK UP A PHONE?
WELL, IF A LIFE
WERE AT STAKE...
WELL, IT IS.
THERE IS A LIFE AT STAKE.
THAT OF A FOSTER CHILD.
ARE YOU REALLY SURE
THAT YOU HAVE THE TIME
AND THE ENERGY
NO. OF COURSE NOT.
THE GOOD NEWS IS
THAT THEY CAN DO AN ANGIOPLASTY.
HE WAS ACTING REALLY
WEIRD YESTERDAY.
HE TOLD ME THAT HE
HATED BARBECUE BOB'S.
AND HE CALLED IT A JOINT.
WITH YOUR DR. SLOAN
AND YOU CONTACT ME
AND WE'LL MAKE
ANOTHER TIME, OKAY?
THANK YOU.
OKAY.
JUST SO YOU KNOW
IF DR. SLOAN DOES THIS AGAIN...
YOUR APPLICATION
WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
THE GOOD NEWS IS
THAT THEY CAN DO AN ANGIOPLASTY.
THAT REALLY DIMINISHES
THE DANGER.
THE QUESTION IS, SHOULD I GO?
YOU KNOW, I FIGURE
THERE'S NO DIRECT FLIGHT.
THAT'S ONE DAY THERE,
ANOTHER DAY BACK.
YOU KNOW, TWO DAYS WITH HIM.
HE'S NOT IN THE HOUSE,
BUT HIS CAR'S IN THE DRIVEWAY.
I THOUGHT HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN OUT
ON THE BEACH.
ALL RIGHT, AMANDA,
LET ME CALL YOU BACK, OKAY?
SHE MAY NOT HAVE
THAT MANY DAYS LEFT.
I WANT TO KEEP THAT PROMISE.
YOU KNOW, THIS
IS NOT LIKE MARK.
HE WAS ACTING REALLY
WEIRD YESTERDAY.
LIKE I'M KIND OF RESPONSIBLE.
LOOK, YOU'VE BEEN REALLY GREAT
WITH MRS. PALMER, BUT...
I KNOW,
SHE'S DR. SLOAN'S PATIENT.
SOMETHING IS WRONG;
I FEEL IT.
UH, DR. TRAVIS,
CAN I TALK TO YOU
FOR A MINUTE?
YEAH. IS THERE A PROBLEM
WITH MRS. PALMER?
NO, BUT CAN I TALK
TO YOU IN PRIVATE?
GO AHEAD. I'LL CATCH UP WITH YOU
IF ANYTHING CHANGES.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
I JUST GOT A CALL
FROM BURLINGTON.
MY FATHER HAD
A HEART ATTACK.
WELL, IS HE
ALL RIGHT?
SO FAR, SO GOOD.
THIS IS SO TYPICAL.
HAS HE HAD HEART
ATTACKS BEFORE?
NO, HE HAS CRISES.
THE DAY OF MY S.A.T.s
DAD WAS CLEANING UP THE GUTTERS
FELL AND BROKE BOTH LEGS.
THE DAY OF MY
COLLEGE GRADUATION
DAD SMASHED UP THE CAR
ON THE WAY TO THE CEREMONY.
NOW THIS.
NOBODY PLANS A HEART ATTACK.
MARK?
YOU KNOW, TWO DAYS WITH HIM.
THE WORST THING THAT HAPPENS
IS YOU REPEAT THE ROTATION.
NO, THE WORST THING THAT CAN
HAPPEN IS, WELL, MRS. PALMER.
YOU KNOW, I KIND OF FEEL
LIKE SHE'S MY FIRST
REAL PATIENT, YOU KNOW?
LIKE I'M KIND OF RESPONSIBLE.
I KNOW,
SHE'S DR. SLOAN'S PATIENT.
BUT HE DOESN'T HAVE THE TIME
THAT I DO.
LISTEN, IT'S YOUR DECISION.
I PROMISED HER
THAT I WOULD BE THERE
AND LOOK IN ON HER EVERY DAY.
SHE MAY NOT HAVE
THAT MANY DAYS LEFT.
JUST SO YOU UNDERSTAND,
IT WAS THIS OR KILL YOU.
AND I DIDN'T KILL HIM,
WHO KILLED HIM?
WELL, I DON'T KNOW.
MAYBE THE BUTLER DID IT.
YOU'RE A VERY CONFUSED
YOUNG LADY.
JUST SO YOU UNDERSTAND,
IT WAS THIS OR KILL YOU.
WELL, I GUESS I SHOULD BE
GRATEFUL FOR SMALL FAVORS.
DON'T THINK I WON'T
FINISH THE JOB.
MARK?
AMANDA?
AMANDA, WHEN'S THE LAST TIME
YOU SPOKE WITH MY FATHER?
WHY, SOMEBODY'S MAKING
A BIG MISTAKE AROUND HERE.
THAT'S TRUE.
AND IT'S YOU.
WELL, IF YOU DIDN'T KILL HIM
AND I DIDN'T KILL HIM,
WHO KILLED HIM?
WHAT A SURPRISE.
IT'S NOT LIKE I WAS GOING
TO CUT YOU OUT.
STEP OUTSIDE
A MINUTE, OKAY?
OH!
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
YEAH, YEAH.
WELL, WHAT HAPPENED?
NOTHING, YET.
DID YOU FORGET
ABOUT THIS MORNING?
DON'T THINK I WON'T
FINISH THE JOB.
I TAKE IT YOU'RE THE ONE
IN CHARGE HERE.
FINALLY.
NOW YOU'RE BEGINNING
TO UNDERSTAND.
OH, I THINK I AM.
THIS IS ABOUT PONYLAND.
WHAT A SURPRISE.
IT'S NOT LIKE I WAS GOING
TO CUT YOU OUT.
OH, I DON'T THINK I WANT
A PARTNERSHIP WITH YOU.
YOU'VE MADE THAT VERY CLEAR.
YOU CAN'T THINK YOU'RE GOING
TO GET AWAY WITH THIS.
THE POLICE HAVE YOU MARKED
AS THE NUMBER ONE SUSPECT
IN A MURDER.
YOU'RE THE ONE THAT KILLED
CHESTER CHUMLEY.
ME?!
WHY, SOMEBODY'S MAKING
A BIG MISTAKE AROUND HERE.
YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK
I KNOW YOU ANYMORE.
YOU NEVER DID.
YOU'RE A VERY CONFUSED
YOUNG LADY.
SOMETIMES I WISH
I COULD KILL YOU.
I REALLY DO.
DID YOU FORGET
ABOUT THIS MORNING?
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
THIS MORNING I WAS HITTING
GOLF BALLS ON THE BEACH.
GOLF BALLS? I TOLD THEM
YOU HAD A MEDICAL EMERGENCY.
DO I LOOK SICK TO YOU?
NO, YOU LOOK JUST FINE.
YOU'RE THE ONE WITH THE PROBLEM.
YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK
I KNOW YOU ANYMORE.
BOSS GETS KIDNAPPED,
HE GETS A PACKAGE.
YOU OR ME...
WE'D BE SHOT.
I'M HERE TO
CHEER YOU UP.
YOU'RE THE SECOND YOUNG LADY
TO COME HERE...
WAIT, WHY DO YOU KEEP CALLING ME
POOK?
NOW, THESE ARE
THE KEYS
TO THE MERCEDES
SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY.
I WOULD HAVE POSTED A GUARD.
TO KEEP YOU HERE
AGAINST YOUR WILL.
NOW, THE MINUTE YOU HEAR ME
SCREAM, OUT THE WINDOW
I WOULD HAVE POSTED A GUARD.
OF COURSE,
I WOULD HAVE NEVER
LET ME IN HERE,
ESPECIALLY IF I WAS TRYING
TO KEEP YOU HERE
AGAINST YOUR WILL.
DID MAYA TELL YOU
I WAS COMING?
YEAH.
GOOD.
OH. HOW YOU DOING, POOK?
Mark:
POOK?
I'M HERE TO
CHEER YOU UP.
ABOUT ME, POOK.
NOW REMEMBER,
LISTEN FOR THE SCREAM.
ALL RIGHT.
YOU'RE THE SECOND YOUNG LADY
TO COME HERE...
JUST BE QUIET
AND FOLLOW ME.
ALL RIGHT.
THEY WOULDN'T DARE.
ARE YOU CERTAIN OF THAT?
YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY
ABOUT ME, POOK.
YOU OR ME...
WE'D BE SHOT.
SHH.
YES, I REALLY
APPRECIATE
THE ATTENTION
BUT I HAVE GOT TO
GET OUT OF HERE.
YES, YOU DO.
CAN YOU HELP ME?
I'M WAY AHEAD OF YOU, POOK.
WAIT, WHY DO YOU KEEP CALLING ME
POOK?
OH, NO!
NOW, THE MINUTE YOU HEAR ME
SCREAM, OUT THE WINDOW
AND RUN.
BUT I CAN'T DO THAT.
I HAPPEN TO KNOW YOU'RE IN
EXCELLENT PHYSICAL CONDITION.
WELL, YES, I AM, THANK YOU
BUT I CAN'T LEAVE YOU HERE
WITH THEM.
OH, BELIEVE ME, THEY'RE NOT
GOING TO HURT ME.
THEY WOULDN'T DARE.
AND THEN HE SAID
HE WAS OUT PLAYING GOLF
WEARING THESE RIDICULOUS
SUNGLASSES.
THAT'S WHAT HE
WAS WEARING WHEN
I SAW HIM PLAY.
OKAY, HOLD THAT THOUGHT, POOKIE.
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK
WITH SOME DRINKS.
WHAT'S THAT?
OW.
AND THEN HE SAID
HE WAS OUT PLAYING GOLF
WEARING THESE RIDICULOUS
SUNGLASSES.
THAT'S WHAT HE
WAS WEARING WHEN
I SAW HIM PLAY.
HE WAS GREAT.
I DON'T KNOW.
MARK'S NEVER BEEN IRRESPONSIBLE
LIKE THIS BEFORE.
WELL, GOLF CAN MAKE
FOOLS OF US ALL.
WHAT DO YOU GOT?
PATIENT'S UNCONSCIOUS
WITH A BULLET WOUND
TO THE SHOULDER.
B.P. 90/50.
Amanda:
MY GOD, IS THAT MARK?
