Diagnosis Murder (1993–2001): Season 8, Episode 6 - The Cradle Will Rock - full transcript
Mark discovers that an impassioned love affair between a nurse and a 17-year-old hospital worker may be the motive for murder.
Woman:
At 10,000 feet
they level out
and you have to climb
out onto the wing.
Oh, I just couldn't do that.
Then you jump, and it is
so incredible, Dr. Sloan.
Just... the adrenaline
rush, it's so beautiful
and exciting and terrifying.
Not for a million dollars
would I jump out of an airplane.
How about your husband, Derek?
Does he jump?
Mr. C.P.A.
The only excitement
he gets in life is deer hunting.
Oh. Maybe you and I
could take a jump sometime.
Stacey, I wouldn't want you
to see me screaming for my life.
Jesse:
I need help, Stacey!
25-year-old construction worker.
Crush injury to the chest.
BP is falling.
No breath sounds on the right.
Stable enough for a chest tube?
Let's hope so.
Number Two's open.
Stacey, I'm glad you're here.
Yeah. Let's move it.
We'll need respiratory
and X Ray in Number Two.
We'll start a large-bore I.V.
and set up for a chest tube.
We'll need some #7 gloves
for Dr. Travis.
Yeah, exactly.
He's sounding better.
Fluid is still a little bloody.
But his pressure's holding.
I thought you were taking
the day off today?
Derek decided
to go hunting.
I get bored sitting at home.
No risk for boredom here.
Anything?
No, nothing.
No pulse. Nothing.
He's in E.M.D.
Ventricular fibrillation?
I'm sure glad
Derek went hunting today.
I certainly need you here.
You sure know how to keep
a girl entertained.
Is someone there?
Hello?
Why are you following me?
Who are you?
I'm talking to you.
Answer me!
What do you want?!
Wait a minute, guys.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute, please, look...
I'll give you a statement
if you'll just let me speak.
Now, as you seem to know,
this young man is being charged
with the shotgun murder
of Derek Bradshaw
in the Angeles National Forest
last Wednesday.
The boy's underage,
so we're withholding his name.
If there are any
further developments
we'll issue another statement.
Now, if you'll excuse us.
Let him through.
That's it for now, guys.
It would make a great seminar.
If we could get Schmidt
to do it with you.
It would be, you know, uh...
Emergency repair
of a ventricular rupture.
Mark, look at that.
What?
Mark:
That's the kid who works
at the hospital, isn't it?
What his name?
They're accusing him of killing
Stacey Bradshaw's husband.
Ray?
What's he got to do with Stacey?
Beats me.
I'll tell you, it's
like some kids just
can't get a break.
What are you doing?
Walking.
Yeah, I see that,
but why are you walking?
See this pedometer?
Yeah.
Tells me how far I've walked.
And the reason for that
would be?
I want to walk five miles a day.
I've gained a few pounds.
The beeper tells me
when I should start walking.
It's annoying.
Yeah. I know. I'm sorry.
You like this boy?
Ray?
Yeah, I like him.
Why? You look surprised.
Well, a little.
Look, I know that he got busted
for stealing a car
but he was out joy-riding.
I mean, he was going to give
the car back.
It wasn't the smartest decision
but he was paying his debt back
to society.
There were a lot
of complaints about him.
When he first got here
he just didn't seem
to give a damn about anybody.
Jeannie?
Did you send someone to take
Mrs. Johnson to x-ray?
Of course.
Right after you called.
I sent the boy.
Uh, what's his name?
Ray.
Yeah. Him.
Well, she's still in her room.
Have you seen him anywhere?
Not lately.
Not ever.
Try the men's room.
Right.
Ray?
Ray?
Oh, sorry.
First of all,
there's no smoking
in the hospital.
Oh, sure. No problem.
Look, I'm sorry, Dr. Sloan.
Ray, if you can't do
what you're asked
maybe you don't belong here.
I'm doing my best.
You were supposed to take
Mrs. Johnson to x-ray.
Well, Jeannie said at 3:30.
Really. It's true.
It was 2:30.
Uh, maybe I misunderstood.
Ray, if I report you
to the court
they're going to revoke
your community service
and send you back to Juvenile.
No, please, don't do that,
Dr. Sloan.
I don't want to do that.
Can you just try
a little harder, please?
I-I will. I promise.
You want me to take
Mrs. Johnson down?
I'll take care of that.
You go see Jeannie and see
if there's anything you can do.
And Ray, pick up the butt.
Ray?
Would you bring some water
to Mrs. Weber in 218?
Yeah. I'll take care of it
in a minute.
I'll be right back.
I promise.
Hi.
Oh. Hi.
Could you take the cuffs off?
Steve:
No.
Look, please.
I have to scratch.
I'm doing you
a favor by keeping them on.
Where did you get
the poison oak, Ray?
I like to work in the garden.
We can place you
in the Angeles National Forest
the day of the murder.
Congratulations.
What about the gun, Ray?
Where did you put
the shotgun you used?
I didn't kill anyone.
You, uh, work
at Community General Hospital.
Yeah.
You know that
Derek Bradshaw's wife
works at Community General.
Stacey Bradshaw.
You know her?
Nah. I don't think so.
Good-looking redhead.
Does that ring a bell, Ray?
I said I don't know her.
Say something.
You are so beautiful.
What's that?
What?
Ray, stop.
No.
What is that?
It's nothing.
No. It's not nothing.
How did that happen, Stacey?
Derek and I had a fight.
He hit you?
How often does this happen?
Are there more
black and blue marks?
Show them to me.
I want to see what he's done.
You know, I don't get it.
You withhold Ray's identity
yet the world gets to see him
on television.
That wasn't the plan.
Well... there certainly
were a lot of reporters there.
Yeah, well, as
soon as I find out
who in the press
office called him,
I'll let you know.
How's your case against Ray?
Got anything?
Well, he's no rocket scientist,
that's for sure.
Mr. Santucci?
Yes.
Lieutenant Steve
Sloan, L.A.P.D.
I have a warrant
to search your car
and your home.
Why? What's this about?
Is that your car?
Yes.
Where was it last Wednesday?
Ah, my son had it, I think.
Why are you asking
these questions?
May we come in?
Is something wrong?
Actually, we'd rather talk
to your son about that.
Is he home?
Ray?
What?
Can I get some privacy in here?
Check the closet.
Wait. You can't do that.
You need a search warrant.
No. We have one.
That's some case
of poison oak
you've got there.
Yeah, I'm sure you care.
Did you, uh, drive
your dad's car out
to the Angeles National Forest
last Wednesday?
I don't remember.
Let me make this simple.
Your dad's car was
seen out there
last Wednesday
very close to where
Derek Bradshaw was killed.
We know you had the car that day
and I'm guessing that, uh
not only will the mud
here in the bottom
match the mud in the forest
but these shoes will
match the footprints
we found next to the body.
Ray, is this true?
Just shut up!
Steve:
Stand up.
Show your father some respect.
Give him a hand.
Let's go.
Steve:
I'm placing you under arrest
for the murder
of Derek Bradshaw.
Let's go.
You took my car
to commit a murder?
What? Are you crazy?
You're more concerned
about your car
than you are a murder?
If he did this, you can lock him
up and throw away the key.
I intend to.
Dr. Sloan?
What are you doing here?
Hi. I apologize
for bothering you
on your day off.
No, no, come on in.
Thank you.
Is, uh, there something wrong?
No, no. I just...
I'd like to ask you a couple
of questions, if I might.
Okay. Oh, can I
get you anything?
No, thank you.
Have a seat.
Well, Steve has arrested
a young man named Ray Santucci
for Derek's murder.
Oh, yeah.
I saw him on TV
Do you know him?
He works
at the hospital.
You know, I thought
he looked familiar.
But you don't know him?
No. No, I don't.
Is there any chance
that Derek might have known him?
I don't see how.
You know, it's really
an amazing coincidence.
Why? What do you mean?
What are the odds
of someone you work with,
you don't even know
being accused
of your husband's murder?
I mean, it would make more sense
if you had some kind
of relationship with the boy.
But I told you, I don't.
Right. Well, thank you.
I just had to check that.
Thank you, Stacey.
I'll go.
Oh, I know what
I wanted to ask you.
The, uh, music that was
playing when I came in.
Who was that?
Lead Lizard.
Why? Do you like it?
Well, it sounded
kind of familiar.
Sounded like something
one of the kids at the hospital
was playing.
Oh. Not that many people
know what they are.
Well, for the life of me
I can't think of who it was now.
I'll figure it out.
Bye.
Bye-bye.
Need a ride home?
Honey? I'm home.
Derek?
Where have you been?
Uh...
I was worried about you.
It's a quarter
to 10:00.
I've been out necking
with a 17-year-old boy.
Very funny.
What really happened?
We had an emergency laparoscopy.
The guy was a bleeder.
It just took longer
than anyone thought.
Yeah, well, I got
a couple calls still to make
so, uh... I'll be up
in about 20 minutes.
Oh. Must have really
missed me.
Oh!
Carla Padilla?
Yeah.
Your mom told me
I'd find you here.
My name's Mark Sloan.
I'd like to talk to you
about your friend, Ray.
Why?
Well, I'd like to help him.
That's novel.
It's true.
I'm hungry.
Hun...? Oh.
Here we go.
Did you get
some ketchup and mustard?
Oh, no.
It's fine. I'll manage.
You know, I like that music
you were playing.
Sure.
It reminded me of, uh...
Tito Puente and Eddie Palmieri.
I used to listen to them.
You're putting me on.
No.
Well, I am trying
to win you over
a little bit
but I'm not putting you on.
I listen to them.
Are you nervous or something?
No. I'm trying to walk
five miles a day.
I try to exercise
as little as I can.
Well, seems to work for you.
Thanks.
Carla, do you know a band
called Lead Lizard?
Yeah. Why?
Do you like them?
Oh, I hate them.
They're repellent as the animals
they're named after.
How about Ray?
Does he like them?
He loves them.
He used to drive me crazy
all the time playing that band.
Think I heard him
listening to them.
And that's important?
Why? What does that have to do
with the murder?
Carla, I think that
if Ray committed this murder
someone else was involved.
I thought you wanted
to help Ray.
I do.
I just think that somebody
got
him to do it
and that's the person
I want to find.
Why? So you can put them both
in jail?
I'm out of here.
You don't want to help Ray.
Well, Carla?
Wait a minute.
One more question.
Who-who has Ray been dating?
The math will only
take a few minutes.
Ah, I've got this paper
for history due.
I'll do it.
No problem.
What'd you do that for?
I was listening to that.
Oh, what's up?
Ray, you know
you're my closest friend.
Ah, I don't like
the sound of this.
No. It's good, really.
And I feel like
I'm your closest friend.
Yeah. So?
Well, I figure friendship
is the basis
of a real relationship.
I mean, if the only thing
two people have going
is a physical thing,
sooner or later
they'll wear it out.
Look, Carla,
you are my best friend
and I love you, but...
I'm not in love with you.
Well, you've never tried.
Carla, we have
a great friendship.
Look, we'll destroy it
if we try to turn it
into something it's not.
Are you seeing somebody else?
What makes you say that?
I don't know.
You haven't been around
for the last couple of weeks.
You've been vagueing out
whenever I ask you
where you've been.
I didn't want to hurt you.
That's why
I didn't say anything.
Can I show you what I got her?
You think it's too much?
"Love forever"?
Carla
it's very important.
Who's Ray been dating?
Me.
I found a Carla Padilla
in, uh, Ray's court record.
You know, she was in the car
when he was arrested
for joy-riding.
Well, he protected her.
He said she didn't know
he had taken the car.
Well, I bet he was lying.
Yeah, I think he...
I think so
but he must have cared a lot
about her to protect her
that way.
Dad, will you sit down?
You're driving us crazy.
Wait just a second.
Five...
four...
Okay.
Mark, why were you, uh,
visiting Carla yesterday?
Let me ask you a question first.
What do you think of Stacey?
Stacey?
She's smart.
She's, uh, wild,
totally self-centered
probably the best ER nurse
I've ever met.
Wh-what about her relationship
with Derek?
Frankly, I don't get it.
I don't like to speak
ill of the dead
but I think she married him
for his money.
As far as I could see
it's the only thing
they had in common.
She strikes me
as the kind of woman
that needs attention...
A lot of it.
From someone like Ray?
You know, when I went
to Stacey's house
I heard loud music
coming from inside
before she answered the door.
And it sounded like something
that Ray had been playing
the other day.
It was something
that he'd like
but not something
that she'd listen to.
Did you ask who it was?
Yeah, uh, Lead Lizard
and she was wearing
one of their T-shirts.
Stacey was listening
to Lead Lizard?
Yeah. Carla says
that Ray loves them.
Do you think he gave her
the CD and the T-shirt?
Yeah. Yeah, I do.
We got another problem, though.
Carla says that
she
is Ray's girlfriend.
Well, if Ray isn't deeply
involved with Stacey
I don't know why he committed
this murder.
Neither do I.
Oop...
See you at lunch.
Save me a salad.
I'll be right back.
Come with me.
What are you doing here?!
I can't be seen with you.
They've been asking me
questions about Ray.
Who's asking questions?
The police?
Some guy.
I guess he's a detective.
His name was Mark Sloan
and he wanted to know
who Ray's been seeing.
What did you tell him?
That scares you, doesn't it?
What did you tell him?!
I told him nothing.
You got Ray
to kill your husband.
That's not true.
And blind as he is,
he's protecting you
just like he protected me.
I didn't ask Ray to do anything.
What's he hit you with?
Forget it, Ray.
What's he hit you with, Stacey?
I don't know.
Just... things.
Whatever's around.
I'll kill him.
Calm down.
It's not important.
I won't let anyone
do this to you.
He just does every
once in a while.
I'll kill him.
I swear.
I'll kill him
if he hurts you again.
You used him.
You got him
to commit this murder
and no matter what happens,
you'll never wind up with him.
Do you really think
I would let Ray
spend the rest of his life
in jail?
Yes.
Well, you're wrong.
Everything is under control.
We have a plan,
and if you will just keep
your mouth shut,
everything will be fine.
Understood?
Yes.
Good.
Now get out of here,
and don't ever come back.
You never cared about Ray.
You want to tell me again
you don't know Ray?
I don't know Ray.
You know his girlfriend, Carla.
I just met her.
She barged in here and said
we had to talk.
May I ask what about?
She wants to help.
She's in love with this boy.
She says he could never
do something like this.
I guess she was just hoping
I suspected someone else.
Do you? Suspect someone else?
No.
What's all this about anyway?
I-I thought you had
enough evidence to convict Ray.
Oh, we do.
We just don't think
he did it alone.
You did good, Dad.
You got Ray's friend
to go see Stacey.
Yeah, but Stacey said
she never saw Carla
before today.
I don't believe him.
Neither do I, but how
are we going to prove that?
I could have
a talk with Ray.
He doesn't know
what Stacey told you.
If he finds out Carla
and Stacey are talking
maybe he'll, uh,
give us his side
of the story.
You know, that's worth a try.
Stacey's got him wrapped
around her little finger.
Well, not one person
in that hospital
has seen them together.
She's no fool.
I tell you, I really liked
that kid.
I thought he was going
to get his life together.
Can you imagine what it's like
for a kid like Ray
to have Stacey coming on to him?
But why bother?
Why not just get a divorce?
Greed, hate.
Jesse:
Knowing Stacey
she probably
did it just for kicks.
That's a little harsh, isn't it?
Am I wrong?
Well, I don't know.
I don't know why she did this.
Right now, we got a pretty good
circumstantial case against Ray
but we're nowhere near
implicating Stacey.
I think Ray is our only shot.
Come on, Lieutenant.
I've been begging them
for calamine lotion.
You have to help me out.
Forget the poison oak, Ray.
Listen to me.
We don't like to make
deals with shooters
but I talked to the D.A. today.
If you'll explain
Stacey Bradshaw's involvement
in her husband's murder
he's willing to cut you a deal.
I don't know
Stacey Bradshaw.
Don't lie to me, Ray.
Your friend Carla
went to see Stacey.
I know you know her.
Okay, I know her.
But I didn't kill her husband.
I don't even know who he is.
You could spend the rest
of your life in jail, Ray.
This is no time to play hero.
Can't you get it through
your thick skull?
I didn't do it.
We could reduce the charges,
maybe to manslaughter.
Don't say I never
did anything for you.
Oh, man...
Dad, can I take the car?
Be home by 6:00.
I'm going out.
Thanks.
Keys are on the thing.
Ray.
What are you doing here?
Come on.
That room's empty.
Come on.
I did it.
It's done.
Did it go the way
I said it would?
It was... easy.
Ray... Ray,
you're incredible.
I wasn't sure you could do it.
I did it.
What did it feel like
when you pulled the trigger?
I-I don't know.
Did you get a rush?
Did you feel the adrenaline
surge through your body?
I guess.
You know what this means?
It means we can't see each other
for a while.
Look, we have to pretend
like we don't know each other
for a couple months.
I know.
Hi.
Hi.
Look, you better
put some calamine
lotion on that.
Uh, you know Mrs. Levine?
Uh, kidney transplant.
Yeah.
Her husband went out of town
and he wanted
to give her something
so she'd think of him
every time she saw it.
"Love forever."
I haven't talked to you in days.
I can't take it.
Mrs. Levine is
in Room 331.
Jesse.
Any plans for the weekend?
Uh, nothing special.
How about you?
I'm thinking
of getting out of town.
Sounds like a good idea.
Yeah, there's this place
up north, just outside
of San Francisco.
You can go gliding.
Stacey, I've been
looking for you.
Hey, Jesse.
Um, how about Friday
at 3:00?
Oh, I don't think I can make it.
How about next week?
No problem, just let me know.
Could you excuse me?
Hey, have you seen
Dr. Sloan?
He went that-a-way.
Mark.
Hey, Mark, wait up.
I'm walking.
I'm behind schedule.
Could you stop a second?
I just remembered something
that might interest you.
What?
Man:
One, one-two...
one-two-three, come on.
All right, eight punches!
Come on, harder, come on!
That's it, harder.
Spar.
Spar?
No. No, no, Stacey.
Come on!
I can handle it.
All right.
All right.
Daniel:
Hey, I wasn't ready.
Stacey:
Come on, slowpoke.
Get going.
Daniel:
Ow! Okay!
That was close.
All right, I don't
want to do this.
You're going to get hurt.
No, I'm okay.
Come on!
I'll just say
my husband beat me up.
- No, forget it.
- Come on!
Stacey, forget it.
Come on, I can
handle this, Daniel.
Come on!
All right, you asked for it.
Daniel:
Come on.
They didn't have any root beer.
Hope diet soda is okay.
Why are you bothering me?
Carla, Ray's making
a terrible mistake.
I know you know Stacey
which means Ray knows Stacey.
And we know that
they killed her
husband together.
So, arrest her.
We can't, Carla.
We have no evidence.
Do you want to help him?
Why don't you leave me alone?
Look, if you want
to help him, go see him.
Convince him to make a deal.
Why should he spend
the rest of his life
in jail when we know
that Stacey was involved in it?
I can't do it.
I can't get involved.
Why not?
It doesn't matter why.
I can't do it.
Doesn't that mean
you're supposed to be walking?
Never mind that.
Carla, this is serious.
Ray's life is at stake.
Ray:
Look, you came here to tell me
to rat on Stacey.
You're jealous of her.
I knew that
that's what you'd say.
You want to get her
out of your way.
That's why I didn't want to come
'cause I knew that
that's what you think.
Well?
It's true.
Ray...
clear your brain.
You're going to jail
for the rest of your life
unless you make a deal.
I don't matter,
Stacey doesn't matter
nothing matters
where you're going to go.
Look... I want you
to stay out of this, all right?
You caused enough
trouble already
by going to her.
What is it going to take
to get through to you, Ray?
You have this fantasy
of this relationship
with this woman
when the truth is,
she probably just used you
to get rid of her husband.
You know, I made her
a promise, Carla...
and I am going to keep it.
Ray, what are you doing here?
I told you we couldn't
see each other.
I know, I'm sorry.
But I had to speak to you.
There are phones, Ray.
This'll just take a minute.
Hurry.
The police have been
asking questions
about me.
I don't know how
they got on to me
but I think I might
get arrested.
What are you going to do?
I don't know, I...
I don't know what I'll do.
No, but I want you to know
you don't have to worry
about anything.
I'll never tell them about you.
Ray, we're in this together.
I love you, Stacey.
I'll never give you up.
Come in.
Dr. Sloan?
Can I speak to you for a minute?
Yeah, sit down.
And if you leave the property
an alarm will go off
at the local precinct.
We will find you.
You'll forfeit your bail
and go back to jail.
Is that clear?
Very.
You cost me the $500,000 in bail
and I'll kill you.
Don't worry.
I'm not going anywhere.
Stacey's voice:
This is Stacey. Who are you?
Let me know. Bye.
Stacey's voice:
This is Stacey. Who are you?
Let me know. Bye.
Ray, lunch is ready.
Ray?
I'm coming.
Sit, sit.
I made tuna sandwiches.
Is it hot in here?
No. No, it's not hot.
Well, I'm sweating.
Well, you'll cool down
in a minute.
Have a sandwich.
I'm not hungry.
Hmm?
I feel nauseous.
I think I'm going to throw up.
Whoa. Okay, come on.
Let's go right now.
I'm going to take you
to the emergency room.
I need a doctor.
Somebody please...
get me a doctor.
Ray, you okay?
He's been throwing up.
Get him to curtain two.
Ray Santucci...
you're under arrest
for violating
the terms of your bail.
He's sick.
That doesn't change anything.
Look, Steve, he's real sick.
He needs to be treated.
Daniel...
You guys can just wait here.
Violent episodes of vomiting.
Pulse is racing...
over 100.
Ray, you been taking any drugs?
I been in jail.
Okay, let's run CBC,
a chem panel
and a tox screen
just to be safe.
Get a K.U.B. film.
That's a good idea.
I'll talk to the police
and take care of that.
Keep your eye on him.
What do you think?
Uh, it's probably
intestinal flu.
There's a lot of that
going around.
You're very dehydrated.
Drink some water.
Let me see that.
Hey, let go of me.
All right, let...
let go of me, all right?
Where'd you get that?
It was a gift.
Who gave it to you?
What is your problem?
Just answer me!
It was a gift
from my girlfriend.
Your girlfriend?
Yeah. Stacey, my girlfriend.
Hey. Hey!
Where are you going?
Ray!
What's going on?
Ray!
Stacey!
Stacey!
Answer the door!
Stacey!
Stacey!
Stacey!
Stacey.
I figured you'd wind up here.
Where is she?
She's not pining over you, Ray.
She's out having fun.
She did it.
She did it with me.
Can you prove that?
I buried it here.
Here it is.
Got it.
She gave this to me.
Mrs. Bradshaw...
Mrs. Bradshaw, could
you wait a minute?
Well, well...
The gang's all here.
I want my lawyer.
You'll need one.
We're charging you
with felony murder.
On what?
A wish and a prayer?
What kind of evidence
do you have?
How about this?
This was dug up this morning
in the Angeles National Forest
near where your
husband was found.
Your fingerprints are on it
and Ray will testify
that you bought it
and gave it to him
to kill your husband.
And you believe that?
We know about
your relationship
with Ray, Stacey.
So, I had an affair with him.
He's a rejected teenage boy
who killed the man
I wouldn't leave.
Liar.
I loved my husband.
That's a lie
like all the other lies.
I don't lie, Ray.
Oh, really?
I trusted you...
and loved you...
and thought you loved me.
I did love you.
I gave you that bracelet
so you would think of me
and know what I would do
for our love.
And all the while
you were using me.
You didn't care about me.
That's not true.
What are you talking about?
You were seeing someone else.
You gave him my bracelet.
Ray, you fool.
I've never taken it off.
Not for one minute
since you gave it to me.
Why don't you come with me?
You can call your lawyer.
You found out about the bracelet
and you had that doctor
wear one just like it.
You tricked me.
Ray, we were trying to help you.
We gave you Ipecac
to make you sick.
I knew when you saw that
bracelet, you'd tell the truth.
I had no choice, Ray.
I wasn't going to let my son
spend the rest of his life
in jail for that woman.
I love her.
I love her.
At 10,000 feet
they level out
and you have to climb
out onto the wing.
Oh, I just couldn't do that.
Then you jump, and it is
so incredible, Dr. Sloan.
Just... the adrenaline
rush, it's so beautiful
and exciting and terrifying.
Not for a million dollars
would I jump out of an airplane.
How about your husband, Derek?
Does he jump?
Mr. C.P.A.
The only excitement
he gets in life is deer hunting.
Oh. Maybe you and I
could take a jump sometime.
Stacey, I wouldn't want you
to see me screaming for my life.
Jesse:
I need help, Stacey!
25-year-old construction worker.
Crush injury to the chest.
BP is falling.
No breath sounds on the right.
Stable enough for a chest tube?
Let's hope so.
Number Two's open.
Stacey, I'm glad you're here.
Yeah. Let's move it.
We'll need respiratory
and X Ray in Number Two.
We'll start a large-bore I.V.
and set up for a chest tube.
We'll need some #7 gloves
for Dr. Travis.
Yeah, exactly.
He's sounding better.
Fluid is still a little bloody.
But his pressure's holding.
I thought you were taking
the day off today?
Derek decided
to go hunting.
I get bored sitting at home.
No risk for boredom here.
Anything?
No, nothing.
No pulse. Nothing.
He's in E.M.D.
Ventricular fibrillation?
I'm sure glad
Derek went hunting today.
I certainly need you here.
You sure know how to keep
a girl entertained.
Is someone there?
Hello?
Why are you following me?
Who are you?
I'm talking to you.
Answer me!
What do you want?!
Wait a minute, guys.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute, please, look...
I'll give you a statement
if you'll just let me speak.
Now, as you seem to know,
this young man is being charged
with the shotgun murder
of Derek Bradshaw
in the Angeles National Forest
last Wednesday.
The boy's underage,
so we're withholding his name.
If there are any
further developments
we'll issue another statement.
Now, if you'll excuse us.
Let him through.
That's it for now, guys.
It would make a great seminar.
If we could get Schmidt
to do it with you.
It would be, you know, uh...
Emergency repair
of a ventricular rupture.
Mark, look at that.
What?
Mark:
That's the kid who works
at the hospital, isn't it?
What his name?
They're accusing him of killing
Stacey Bradshaw's husband.
Ray?
What's he got to do with Stacey?
Beats me.
I'll tell you, it's
like some kids just
can't get a break.
What are you doing?
Walking.
Yeah, I see that,
but why are you walking?
See this pedometer?
Yeah.
Tells me how far I've walked.
And the reason for that
would be?
I want to walk five miles a day.
I've gained a few pounds.
The beeper tells me
when I should start walking.
It's annoying.
Yeah. I know. I'm sorry.
You like this boy?
Ray?
Yeah, I like him.
Why? You look surprised.
Well, a little.
Look, I know that he got busted
for stealing a car
but he was out joy-riding.
I mean, he was going to give
the car back.
It wasn't the smartest decision
but he was paying his debt back
to society.
There were a lot
of complaints about him.
When he first got here
he just didn't seem
to give a damn about anybody.
Jeannie?
Did you send someone to take
Mrs. Johnson to x-ray?
Of course.
Right after you called.
I sent the boy.
Uh, what's his name?
Ray.
Yeah. Him.
Well, she's still in her room.
Have you seen him anywhere?
Not lately.
Not ever.
Try the men's room.
Right.
Ray?
Ray?
Oh, sorry.
First of all,
there's no smoking
in the hospital.
Oh, sure. No problem.
Look, I'm sorry, Dr. Sloan.
Ray, if you can't do
what you're asked
maybe you don't belong here.
I'm doing my best.
You were supposed to take
Mrs. Johnson to x-ray.
Well, Jeannie said at 3:30.
Really. It's true.
It was 2:30.
Uh, maybe I misunderstood.
Ray, if I report you
to the court
they're going to revoke
your community service
and send you back to Juvenile.
No, please, don't do that,
Dr. Sloan.
I don't want to do that.
Can you just try
a little harder, please?
I-I will. I promise.
You want me to take
Mrs. Johnson down?
I'll take care of that.
You go see Jeannie and see
if there's anything you can do.
And Ray, pick up the butt.
Ray?
Would you bring some water
to Mrs. Weber in 218?
Yeah. I'll take care of it
in a minute.
I'll be right back.
I promise.
Hi.
Oh. Hi.
Could you take the cuffs off?
Steve:
No.
Look, please.
I have to scratch.
I'm doing you
a favor by keeping them on.
Where did you get
the poison oak, Ray?
I like to work in the garden.
We can place you
in the Angeles National Forest
the day of the murder.
Congratulations.
What about the gun, Ray?
Where did you put
the shotgun you used?
I didn't kill anyone.
You, uh, work
at Community General Hospital.
Yeah.
You know that
Derek Bradshaw's wife
works at Community General.
Stacey Bradshaw.
You know her?
Nah. I don't think so.
Good-looking redhead.
Does that ring a bell, Ray?
I said I don't know her.
Say something.
You are so beautiful.
What's that?
What?
Ray, stop.
No.
What is that?
It's nothing.
No. It's not nothing.
How did that happen, Stacey?
Derek and I had a fight.
He hit you?
How often does this happen?
Are there more
black and blue marks?
Show them to me.
I want to see what he's done.
You know, I don't get it.
You withhold Ray's identity
yet the world gets to see him
on television.
That wasn't the plan.
Well... there certainly
were a lot of reporters there.
Yeah, well, as
soon as I find out
who in the press
office called him,
I'll let you know.
How's your case against Ray?
Got anything?
Well, he's no rocket scientist,
that's for sure.
Mr. Santucci?
Yes.
Lieutenant Steve
Sloan, L.A.P.D.
I have a warrant
to search your car
and your home.
Why? What's this about?
Is that your car?
Yes.
Where was it last Wednesday?
Ah, my son had it, I think.
Why are you asking
these questions?
May we come in?
Is something wrong?
Actually, we'd rather talk
to your son about that.
Is he home?
Ray?
What?
Can I get some privacy in here?
Check the closet.
Wait. You can't do that.
You need a search warrant.
No. We have one.
That's some case
of poison oak
you've got there.
Yeah, I'm sure you care.
Did you, uh, drive
your dad's car out
to the Angeles National Forest
last Wednesday?
I don't remember.
Let me make this simple.
Your dad's car was
seen out there
last Wednesday
very close to where
Derek Bradshaw was killed.
We know you had the car that day
and I'm guessing that, uh
not only will the mud
here in the bottom
match the mud in the forest
but these shoes will
match the footprints
we found next to the body.
Ray, is this true?
Just shut up!
Steve:
Stand up.
Show your father some respect.
Give him a hand.
Let's go.
Steve:
I'm placing you under arrest
for the murder
of Derek Bradshaw.
Let's go.
You took my car
to commit a murder?
What? Are you crazy?
You're more concerned
about your car
than you are a murder?
If he did this, you can lock him
up and throw away the key.
I intend to.
Dr. Sloan?
What are you doing here?
Hi. I apologize
for bothering you
on your day off.
No, no, come on in.
Thank you.
Is, uh, there something wrong?
No, no. I just...
I'd like to ask you a couple
of questions, if I might.
Okay. Oh, can I
get you anything?
No, thank you.
Have a seat.
Well, Steve has arrested
a young man named Ray Santucci
for Derek's murder.
Oh, yeah.
I saw him on TV
Do you know him?
He works
at the hospital.
You know, I thought
he looked familiar.
But you don't know him?
No. No, I don't.
Is there any chance
that Derek might have known him?
I don't see how.
You know, it's really
an amazing coincidence.
Why? What do you mean?
What are the odds
of someone you work with,
you don't even know
being accused
of your husband's murder?
I mean, it would make more sense
if you had some kind
of relationship with the boy.
But I told you, I don't.
Right. Well, thank you.
I just had to check that.
Thank you, Stacey.
I'll go.
Oh, I know what
I wanted to ask you.
The, uh, music that was
playing when I came in.
Who was that?
Lead Lizard.
Why? Do you like it?
Well, it sounded
kind of familiar.
Sounded like something
one of the kids at the hospital
was playing.
Oh. Not that many people
know what they are.
Well, for the life of me
I can't think of who it was now.
I'll figure it out.
Bye.
Bye-bye.
Need a ride home?
Honey? I'm home.
Derek?
Where have you been?
Uh...
I was worried about you.
It's a quarter
to 10:00.
I've been out necking
with a 17-year-old boy.
Very funny.
What really happened?
We had an emergency laparoscopy.
The guy was a bleeder.
It just took longer
than anyone thought.
Yeah, well, I got
a couple calls still to make
so, uh... I'll be up
in about 20 minutes.
Oh. Must have really
missed me.
Oh!
Carla Padilla?
Yeah.
Your mom told me
I'd find you here.
My name's Mark Sloan.
I'd like to talk to you
about your friend, Ray.
Why?
Well, I'd like to help him.
That's novel.
It's true.
I'm hungry.
Hun...? Oh.
Here we go.
Did you get
some ketchup and mustard?
Oh, no.
It's fine. I'll manage.
You know, I like that music
you were playing.
Sure.
It reminded me of, uh...
Tito Puente and Eddie Palmieri.
I used to listen to them.
You're putting me on.
No.
Well, I am trying
to win you over
a little bit
but I'm not putting you on.
I listen to them.
Are you nervous or something?
No. I'm trying to walk
five miles a day.
I try to exercise
as little as I can.
Well, seems to work for you.
Thanks.
Carla, do you know a band
called Lead Lizard?
Yeah. Why?
Do you like them?
Oh, I hate them.
They're repellent as the animals
they're named after.
How about Ray?
Does he like them?
He loves them.
He used to drive me crazy
all the time playing that band.
Think I heard him
listening to them.
And that's important?
Why? What does that have to do
with the murder?
Carla, I think that
if Ray committed this murder
someone else was involved.
I thought you wanted
to help Ray.
I do.
I just think that somebody
got
him to do it
and that's the person
I want to find.
Why? So you can put them both
in jail?
I'm out of here.
You don't want to help Ray.
Well, Carla?
Wait a minute.
One more question.
Who-who has Ray been dating?
The math will only
take a few minutes.
Ah, I've got this paper
for history due.
I'll do it.
No problem.
What'd you do that for?
I was listening to that.
Oh, what's up?
Ray, you know
you're my closest friend.
Ah, I don't like
the sound of this.
No. It's good, really.
And I feel like
I'm your closest friend.
Yeah. So?
Well, I figure friendship
is the basis
of a real relationship.
I mean, if the only thing
two people have going
is a physical thing,
sooner or later
they'll wear it out.
Look, Carla,
you are my best friend
and I love you, but...
I'm not in love with you.
Well, you've never tried.
Carla, we have
a great friendship.
Look, we'll destroy it
if we try to turn it
into something it's not.
Are you seeing somebody else?
What makes you say that?
I don't know.
You haven't been around
for the last couple of weeks.
You've been vagueing out
whenever I ask you
where you've been.
I didn't want to hurt you.
That's why
I didn't say anything.
Can I show you what I got her?
You think it's too much?
"Love forever"?
Carla
it's very important.
Who's Ray been dating?
Me.
I found a Carla Padilla
in, uh, Ray's court record.
You know, she was in the car
when he was arrested
for joy-riding.
Well, he protected her.
He said she didn't know
he had taken the car.
Well, I bet he was lying.
Yeah, I think he...
I think so
but he must have cared a lot
about her to protect her
that way.
Dad, will you sit down?
You're driving us crazy.
Wait just a second.
Five...
four...
Okay.
Mark, why were you, uh,
visiting Carla yesterday?
Let me ask you a question first.
What do you think of Stacey?
Stacey?
She's smart.
She's, uh, wild,
totally self-centered
probably the best ER nurse
I've ever met.
Wh-what about her relationship
with Derek?
Frankly, I don't get it.
I don't like to speak
ill of the dead
but I think she married him
for his money.
As far as I could see
it's the only thing
they had in common.
She strikes me
as the kind of woman
that needs attention...
A lot of it.
From someone like Ray?
You know, when I went
to Stacey's house
I heard loud music
coming from inside
before she answered the door.
And it sounded like something
that Ray had been playing
the other day.
It was something
that he'd like
but not something
that she'd listen to.
Did you ask who it was?
Yeah, uh, Lead Lizard
and she was wearing
one of their T-shirts.
Stacey was listening
to Lead Lizard?
Yeah. Carla says
that Ray loves them.
Do you think he gave her
the CD and the T-shirt?
Yeah. Yeah, I do.
We got another problem, though.
Carla says that
she
is Ray's girlfriend.
Well, if Ray isn't deeply
involved with Stacey
I don't know why he committed
this murder.
Neither do I.
Oop...
See you at lunch.
Save me a salad.
I'll be right back.
Come with me.
What are you doing here?!
I can't be seen with you.
They've been asking me
questions about Ray.
Who's asking questions?
The police?
Some guy.
I guess he's a detective.
His name was Mark Sloan
and he wanted to know
who Ray's been seeing.
What did you tell him?
That scares you, doesn't it?
What did you tell him?!
I told him nothing.
You got Ray
to kill your husband.
That's not true.
And blind as he is,
he's protecting you
just like he protected me.
I didn't ask Ray to do anything.
What's he hit you with?
Forget it, Ray.
What's he hit you with, Stacey?
I don't know.
Just... things.
Whatever's around.
I'll kill him.
Calm down.
It's not important.
I won't let anyone
do this to you.
He just does every
once in a while.
I'll kill him.
I swear.
I'll kill him
if he hurts you again.
You used him.
You got him
to commit this murder
and no matter what happens,
you'll never wind up with him.
Do you really think
I would let Ray
spend the rest of his life
in jail?
Yes.
Well, you're wrong.
Everything is under control.
We have a plan,
and if you will just keep
your mouth shut,
everything will be fine.
Understood?
Yes.
Good.
Now get out of here,
and don't ever come back.
You never cared about Ray.
You want to tell me again
you don't know Ray?
I don't know Ray.
You know his girlfriend, Carla.
I just met her.
She barged in here and said
we had to talk.
May I ask what about?
She wants to help.
She's in love with this boy.
She says he could never
do something like this.
I guess she was just hoping
I suspected someone else.
Do you? Suspect someone else?
No.
What's all this about anyway?
I-I thought you had
enough evidence to convict Ray.
Oh, we do.
We just don't think
he did it alone.
You did good, Dad.
You got Ray's friend
to go see Stacey.
Yeah, but Stacey said
she never saw Carla
before today.
I don't believe him.
Neither do I, but how
are we going to prove that?
I could have
a talk with Ray.
He doesn't know
what Stacey told you.
If he finds out Carla
and Stacey are talking
maybe he'll, uh,
give us his side
of the story.
You know, that's worth a try.
Stacey's got him wrapped
around her little finger.
Well, not one person
in that hospital
has seen them together.
She's no fool.
I tell you, I really liked
that kid.
I thought he was going
to get his life together.
Can you imagine what it's like
for a kid like Ray
to have Stacey coming on to him?
But why bother?
Why not just get a divorce?
Greed, hate.
Jesse:
Knowing Stacey
she probably
did it just for kicks.
That's a little harsh, isn't it?
Am I wrong?
Well, I don't know.
I don't know why she did this.
Right now, we got a pretty good
circumstantial case against Ray
but we're nowhere near
implicating Stacey.
I think Ray is our only shot.
Come on, Lieutenant.
I've been begging them
for calamine lotion.
You have to help me out.
Forget the poison oak, Ray.
Listen to me.
We don't like to make
deals with shooters
but I talked to the D.A. today.
If you'll explain
Stacey Bradshaw's involvement
in her husband's murder
he's willing to cut you a deal.
I don't know
Stacey Bradshaw.
Don't lie to me, Ray.
Your friend Carla
went to see Stacey.
I know you know her.
Okay, I know her.
But I didn't kill her husband.
I don't even know who he is.
You could spend the rest
of your life in jail, Ray.
This is no time to play hero.
Can't you get it through
your thick skull?
I didn't do it.
We could reduce the charges,
maybe to manslaughter.
Don't say I never
did anything for you.
Oh, man...
Dad, can I take the car?
Be home by 6:00.
I'm going out.
Thanks.
Keys are on the thing.
Ray.
What are you doing here?
Come on.
That room's empty.
Come on.
I did it.
It's done.
Did it go the way
I said it would?
It was... easy.
Ray... Ray,
you're incredible.
I wasn't sure you could do it.
I did it.
What did it feel like
when you pulled the trigger?
I-I don't know.
Did you get a rush?
Did you feel the adrenaline
surge through your body?
I guess.
You know what this means?
It means we can't see each other
for a while.
Look, we have to pretend
like we don't know each other
for a couple months.
I know.
Hi.
Hi.
Look, you better
put some calamine
lotion on that.
Uh, you know Mrs. Levine?
Uh, kidney transplant.
Yeah.
Her husband went out of town
and he wanted
to give her something
so she'd think of him
every time she saw it.
"Love forever."
I haven't talked to you in days.
I can't take it.
Mrs. Levine is
in Room 331.
Jesse.
Any plans for the weekend?
Uh, nothing special.
How about you?
I'm thinking
of getting out of town.
Sounds like a good idea.
Yeah, there's this place
up north, just outside
of San Francisco.
You can go gliding.
Stacey, I've been
looking for you.
Hey, Jesse.
Um, how about Friday
at 3:00?
Oh, I don't think I can make it.
How about next week?
No problem, just let me know.
Could you excuse me?
Hey, have you seen
Dr. Sloan?
He went that-a-way.
Mark.
Hey, Mark, wait up.
I'm walking.
I'm behind schedule.
Could you stop a second?
I just remembered something
that might interest you.
What?
Man:
One, one-two...
one-two-three, come on.
All right, eight punches!
Come on, harder, come on!
That's it, harder.
Spar.
Spar?
No. No, no, Stacey.
Come on!
I can handle it.
All right.
All right.
Daniel:
Hey, I wasn't ready.
Stacey:
Come on, slowpoke.
Get going.
Daniel:
Ow! Okay!
That was close.
All right, I don't
want to do this.
You're going to get hurt.
No, I'm okay.
Come on!
I'll just say
my husband beat me up.
- No, forget it.
- Come on!
Stacey, forget it.
Come on, I can
handle this, Daniel.
Come on!
All right, you asked for it.
Daniel:
Come on.
They didn't have any root beer.
Hope diet soda is okay.
Why are you bothering me?
Carla, Ray's making
a terrible mistake.
I know you know Stacey
which means Ray knows Stacey.
And we know that
they killed her
husband together.
So, arrest her.
We can't, Carla.
We have no evidence.
Do you want to help him?
Why don't you leave me alone?
Look, if you want
to help him, go see him.
Convince him to make a deal.
Why should he spend
the rest of his life
in jail when we know
that Stacey was involved in it?
I can't do it.
I can't get involved.
Why not?
It doesn't matter why.
I can't do it.
Doesn't that mean
you're supposed to be walking?
Never mind that.
Carla, this is serious.
Ray's life is at stake.
Ray:
Look, you came here to tell me
to rat on Stacey.
You're jealous of her.
I knew that
that's what you'd say.
You want to get her
out of your way.
That's why I didn't want to come
'cause I knew that
that's what you think.
Well?
It's true.
Ray...
clear your brain.
You're going to jail
for the rest of your life
unless you make a deal.
I don't matter,
Stacey doesn't matter
nothing matters
where you're going to go.
Look... I want you
to stay out of this, all right?
You caused enough
trouble already
by going to her.
What is it going to take
to get through to you, Ray?
You have this fantasy
of this relationship
with this woman
when the truth is,
she probably just used you
to get rid of her husband.
You know, I made her
a promise, Carla...
and I am going to keep it.
Ray, what are you doing here?
I told you we couldn't
see each other.
I know, I'm sorry.
But I had to speak to you.
There are phones, Ray.
This'll just take a minute.
Hurry.
The police have been
asking questions
about me.
I don't know how
they got on to me
but I think I might
get arrested.
What are you going to do?
I don't know, I...
I don't know what I'll do.
No, but I want you to know
you don't have to worry
about anything.
I'll never tell them about you.
Ray, we're in this together.
I love you, Stacey.
I'll never give you up.
Come in.
Dr. Sloan?
Can I speak to you for a minute?
Yeah, sit down.
And if you leave the property
an alarm will go off
at the local precinct.
We will find you.
You'll forfeit your bail
and go back to jail.
Is that clear?
Very.
You cost me the $500,000 in bail
and I'll kill you.
Don't worry.
I'm not going anywhere.
Stacey's voice:
This is Stacey. Who are you?
Let me know. Bye.
Stacey's voice:
This is Stacey. Who are you?
Let me know. Bye.
Ray, lunch is ready.
Ray?
I'm coming.
Sit, sit.
I made tuna sandwiches.
Is it hot in here?
No. No, it's not hot.
Well, I'm sweating.
Well, you'll cool down
in a minute.
Have a sandwich.
I'm not hungry.
Hmm?
I feel nauseous.
I think I'm going to throw up.
Whoa. Okay, come on.
Let's go right now.
I'm going to take you
to the emergency room.
I need a doctor.
Somebody please...
get me a doctor.
Ray, you okay?
He's been throwing up.
Get him to curtain two.
Ray Santucci...
you're under arrest
for violating
the terms of your bail.
He's sick.
That doesn't change anything.
Look, Steve, he's real sick.
He needs to be treated.
Daniel...
You guys can just wait here.
Violent episodes of vomiting.
Pulse is racing...
over 100.
Ray, you been taking any drugs?
I been in jail.
Okay, let's run CBC,
a chem panel
and a tox screen
just to be safe.
Get a K.U.B. film.
That's a good idea.
I'll talk to the police
and take care of that.
Keep your eye on him.
What do you think?
Uh, it's probably
intestinal flu.
There's a lot of that
going around.
You're very dehydrated.
Drink some water.
Let me see that.
Hey, let go of me.
All right, let...
let go of me, all right?
Where'd you get that?
It was a gift.
Who gave it to you?
What is your problem?
Just answer me!
It was a gift
from my girlfriend.
Your girlfriend?
Yeah. Stacey, my girlfriend.
Hey. Hey!
Where are you going?
Ray!
What's going on?
Ray!
Stacey!
Stacey!
Answer the door!
Stacey!
Stacey!
Stacey!
Stacey.
I figured you'd wind up here.
Where is she?
She's not pining over you, Ray.
She's out having fun.
She did it.
She did it with me.
Can you prove that?
I buried it here.
Here it is.
Got it.
She gave this to me.
Mrs. Bradshaw...
Mrs. Bradshaw, could
you wait a minute?
Well, well...
The gang's all here.
I want my lawyer.
You'll need one.
We're charging you
with felony murder.
On what?
A wish and a prayer?
What kind of evidence
do you have?
How about this?
This was dug up this morning
in the Angeles National Forest
near where your
husband was found.
Your fingerprints are on it
and Ray will testify
that you bought it
and gave it to him
to kill your husband.
And you believe that?
We know about
your relationship
with Ray, Stacey.
So, I had an affair with him.
He's a rejected teenage boy
who killed the man
I wouldn't leave.
Liar.
I loved my husband.
That's a lie
like all the other lies.
I don't lie, Ray.
Oh, really?
I trusted you...
and loved you...
and thought you loved me.
I did love you.
I gave you that bracelet
so you would think of me
and know what I would do
for our love.
And all the while
you were using me.
You didn't care about me.
That's not true.
What are you talking about?
You were seeing someone else.
You gave him my bracelet.
Ray, you fool.
I've never taken it off.
Not for one minute
since you gave it to me.
Why don't you come with me?
You can call your lawyer.
You found out about the bracelet
and you had that doctor
wear one just like it.
You tricked me.
Ray, we were trying to help you.
We gave you Ipecac
to make you sick.
I knew when you saw that
bracelet, you'd tell the truth.
I had no choice, Ray.
I wasn't going to let my son
spend the rest of his life
in jail for that woman.
I love her.
I love her.
