00:06:41I'll do it.
00:06:43I'll do it.
00:07:45Chetty?
00:08:45Every time a junkie dies, the crime rate goes down.
00:08:53That kid is not a junkie.
00:08:56I've been treating him for two months.
00:08:58For what?
00:09:00Conjunctivitis.
00:09:01My ass.
00:09:02His eyes.
00:09:03Yeah.
00:09:04My job is to take care of people who can't get back to the hospital.
00:09:07Yeah, well, you got one less patient to worry about.
00:09:11Hey, lighten up on him.
00:09:13Hey, lady, the kid's dead.
00:09:15So just go on and let him die, right?
00:09:17Part of the job.
00:09:18Nothing in the rule book says I gotta go to the funeral.
00:09:20Give it up, ma'am.
00:09:22Okay.
00:09:32Let me out.
00:09:32Let me out.
00:09:33Oh, my God.
00:10:33What are you doing?
00:11:04No exercise.
00:11:06Doctor's orders.
00:11:07How many doctors have made that same statement to me?
00:11:10Turn over and be quiet.
00:11:11That's enough, Banks.
00:11:21No, it's not enough.
00:11:26Look, I didn't ask for this job.
00:11:27Hey, I'm lying.
00:11:34I requested this duty.
00:11:37I got jealous when I thought of anybody else doing it.
00:11:40You mean someone was killed by this stuff?
00:11:51Yeah.
00:11:52It's amazing.
00:11:54I'd love a chance at the body.
00:11:55I'd like to run some tests on a guy who'd die from an injection of vitamin B, B12, E, and niacin.
00:12:03I mean, that's all there was.
00:12:06It was not in the binding agent, whatever that was.
00:12:09It wasn't enough to have killed him.
00:12:10Then what do you...
00:12:15Check back with me tomorrow.
00:12:18I'll see if the body of your late friend can tell me anything.
00:12:22Okay.
00:12:27He's in there throwing needles at that poor old lady like she was a dartboard.
00:12:39This woman has no veins.
00:12:40It's fantastic.
00:12:41Is that possible?
00:12:43Nurse Henderson, staff 317.
00:12:45Nurse Henderson, please.
00:12:46I called the wild.
00:12:49This woman has a vein.
00:12:50You find it.
00:12:51Dr. Krebs to surgery.
00:12:56Dr. Krebs.
00:13:03Anyone knowing disassembly procedures for a revolving door, report to maintenance.
00:13:06I'll stay with her a while.
00:13:24Can you run into 328 and give Mr. Farrell his penicillin for me?
00:13:29Remember, just pinch the skin and plunge cleanly.
00:13:33Pinch the skin and plunge cleanly.
00:13:36Sure.
00:13:36Why can't they just let me die or go to Philadelphia?
00:13:45They didn't have one single magazine about boats.
00:13:48Do you believe that?
00:13:49That's okay.
00:13:50Maybe this old life's got a sports section.
00:13:53Hey, kid, you're looking good.
00:13:55Looks like he could sail this afternoon.
00:13:57Yeah.
00:13:57Here's some pictures for you.
00:13:59Wow, look at that view.
00:14:01You can almost see the boat from here.
00:14:03I think it would be better if we could keep his mind off of boats for a while.
00:14:08Look, it's so the kid's got a little problem.
00:14:10You treat him like an invalid, he's going to become an invalid.
00:14:13Well, if I'd known how hard you were trying to kill him.
00:14:15I wouldn't have bothered saving him.
00:14:17He's not trying to kill me.
00:14:19Kindness skills, too, you know.
00:14:22Which way do you prefer, Matt?
00:14:27What's with her?
00:14:30I understand you've been giving medical lessons again.
00:14:35I needed some help.
00:14:36When I first came here, my ambition, which I have achieved,
00:14:39was to be head nurse, not head doctor.
00:14:42You would be wise to have a similar ambition in your hostile mind.
00:14:45I am not hostile.
00:14:46You know there aren't enough doctors here.
00:14:48If I can take care of some of the smaller jobs,
00:14:50it takes the pressure off them for the more important things.
00:14:53You want to do a doctor's job.
00:14:55You want the candy stripers to do your job.
00:14:57Then who's going to do the candy stripers job?
00:14:59The cleaning ladies?
00:15:01You get your way, you'll have the patients emptying their own bedpans.
00:15:05No, I wouldn't.
00:15:06Emptying bedpans is a nurse's job.
00:15:08The binding agent wasn't a binding agent at all.
00:15:16It was a drug called Quadrin.
00:15:19Never even heard of it.
00:15:21The government refused to approve it.
00:15:22It had a couple of problems.
00:15:24First of all, it was an aphrodisiac.
00:15:26Seems there'd be a market for that.
00:15:29I'd buy it.
00:15:30Unfortunately, it was a couple of other things, too.
00:15:33Just a tad more than the proper dosage, you started hallucinating.
00:15:37Then by the time you were getting tired of whatever vision you were having,
00:15:40you went into a coma.
00:15:42Nothing like happy endings for hallucinations.
00:15:45Oh, it got happier.
00:15:47Upped the dosage and others it.
00:15:49It's time to pick your pallbearers.
00:15:52Once they found out what the stuff was,
00:15:54they locked it up.
00:15:55Well, you can tell them some of it's leaking out.
00:15:57And come on, Jeff.
00:16:01Out.
00:16:02Keep right on going just the way you do it all the time.
00:16:05Up and down, up and down, up and down.
00:16:07Come on.
00:16:07Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run.
00:16:09Take it easy.
00:16:13Take it easy.
00:16:15Oh, I'm sorry.
00:16:17How are you?
00:16:17No, you alone.
00:16:18I'm a nurse.
00:16:21Come on.
00:16:23How do you feel?
00:16:24I'm okay, Doc.
00:16:28Oh, that's fine, Jeff.
00:16:29That's fine.
00:16:29That's fine.
00:16:30That's fine.
00:16:31That's fine.
00:16:31Now, let's come up.
00:16:32Now, it was very reckless of you.
00:16:34You know that.
00:16:34I'm sorry.
00:16:35Are you really all right?
00:16:36Doctor.
00:16:37Yes, that's right.
00:16:38I think that's one of you.
00:16:39Hey, don't you remember me?
00:16:41No.
00:16:42Michelle.
00:16:44Michelle Rhodes.
00:16:45Rhodes.
00:16:46Right, right.
00:16:47How are you, dear?
00:16:48I'm fine.
00:16:48A nurse now.
00:16:49Right.
00:16:50You're right now.
00:16:50You come right now.
00:16:51I'm really sorry.
00:16:52Well, well, well.
00:16:53So, and what are you in now?
00:16:54Surgery?
00:16:55Medicine.
00:16:56Medicine.
00:16:56Oh, you all right?
00:16:57You all right, Jeff?
00:16:58That's good.
00:17:00Oh, that's fine.
00:17:02You all right now?
00:17:05Sandy Rhodes, daughter.
00:17:06Yeah.
00:17:07I just think, oh, you're all grown up.
00:17:10Dr. Haskell, have you ever heard of a drug called quagrin?
00:17:13Hmm?
00:17:13I'm trying to find out where it comes from.
00:17:16A friend of mine was killed by it.
00:17:17I'm sorry to hear that.
00:17:19Quagrin?
00:17:19Nope.
00:17:20Never heard of it.
00:17:21You see, I try to use natural herbs instead of drugs.
00:17:23There's so many new names of drugs in the medical mostly.
00:17:26If I run across quagrin, I'll let you know.
00:17:29I'd appreciate that, doctor.
00:17:37Oh, I don't think you're going to notice.
00:17:39I was thinking of my boyfriend.
00:17:41Come on, get dressed.
00:17:42Do you really think you're going to get that grant?
00:17:47If I do, do you really think you're going to come work for me?
00:17:50I don't see how I could survive on $50 a week.
00:17:53You would be surprised how long it takes to starve to death.
00:17:56I've lasted over a year.
00:17:57I've lasted longer than that, and I don't make any money at all.
00:18:01You should get your boyfriend to pay for everything.
00:18:03You're not looking at the whole thing.
00:18:14The thing you don't like is that it's run by a woman.
00:18:17The thing I don't like is it's unlicensed.
00:18:20It's un...
00:18:21It's unusual.
00:18:23It's a lot more effective than anything you could do,
00:18:25and a hell of a lot cheaper.
00:18:27I don't see her driving one of those fancy Aston Martins.
00:18:30Look, what do you want me to do?
00:18:32You want me to put the cash in my paychecks?
00:18:35I just want you to start caring about something besides them.
00:18:51Hey, Sarah!
00:18:58Lester!
00:18:58Well, I don't know, Viz.
00:19:02All good things come to those who wait.
00:19:11Hey, what's happening?
00:19:13How you doing, Viz?
00:19:26Okay.
00:19:28Been working a lot.
00:19:30There used to be a time when you didn't have to work so much.
00:19:32It used to be nice until you said,
00:19:34hey, baby, let's go down to the Baja.
00:19:36And you forgot to tell me that pinata you picked up was full of Peruvian cocaine.
00:19:42Hey, baby, I ain't dealing with nothing now,
00:19:44except for this boatyard here.
00:19:47Oh, yeah?
00:19:47I was kind of hoping you were still on the streets.
00:19:53Well, I still hear something every now and then.
00:19:57Lester,
00:19:58you ever heard of a drug called
00:20:01Quagrin?
00:20:03No.
00:20:03I didn't even until today.
00:20:07Hey, baby, remember that poncho I brought back from La Paz?
00:20:12Well, why don't you go inside and put it on,
00:20:14and I'll take you out somewhere.
00:20:15I'll take you out somewhere.
00:20:45Last time you messed with it,
00:20:47you blew out my gearbox
00:20:48and had me walking for two days.
00:20:54You gonna meet me later or what?
00:20:55Let's make it tomorrow.
00:20:57I have to, uh,
00:20:58make some runs.
00:21:004.30 after C view.
00:21:01Okay.
00:21:03Bye-bye.
00:21:03Ciao.
00:21:15This is an exercise.
00:21:32Sitting in is an exercise
00:21:33and lying in a bed is an exercise.
00:21:35Well, what exactly are you in training for?
00:21:39Oh, for life, I guess.
00:21:42For what?
00:21:43No, for the regatta, really.
00:21:45Matt?
00:21:47You can't sail with that shoulder.
00:21:50Don't tell me I can't.
00:21:51All right, I won't tell you you can't.
00:21:57I like people who tell me I can.
00:22:04Okay, you can.
00:22:05Ah, a little private duty, too, huh, nurse?
00:22:16Just physical therapy.
00:22:18A treat instead of a treatment.
00:22:20I'll bet she's pretty good at it, too, huh, Matt?
00:22:22Dad.
00:22:22Ah, come on.
00:22:27You know me.
00:22:28I'm only kidding you.
00:22:31Life's a ball.
00:22:32You gotta take it and run with it, right?
00:22:35I gotta run, too.
00:22:36You take care of yourself.
00:22:43Oh, God.
00:22:45I bet the night nurses forgot to mark his injection again.
00:22:50The second time in a month.
00:22:53Nancy, get me Dr. Krebs.
00:22:55Quick.
00:22:56What's he doing operating?
00:22:59He's not gonna die or anything.
00:23:02Laboratory, emergency.
00:23:04Yeah, this is Joanne.
00:23:05I got a patient with a double dose of insulin.
00:23:08I need glucagon, one cc, stat.
00:23:12Well, I'm ordering it.
00:23:13Dr. Krebs' authorization.
00:23:15The man's in the coma, so get him quick.
00:23:20You go into medicine.
00:23:21Do it as a doctor.
00:23:22What a turn to be a manager.
00:23:52You're a rock star.
00:23:53In the middle of a song, his voice breaks.
00:23:55I'm paying $85 an hour for this studio.
00:23:57You guys go back in there and play.
00:23:59What I want to know is, why didn't you just drive him to the hospital?
00:24:02Because it looks a little more real to take him to the hospital in an ambulance.
00:24:05Oh, looks terrific in the papers, too.
00:24:08Right, but this guy can't sing.
00:24:09He can't even hum.
00:24:10He'd have a good heart.
00:24:11It's funny, I've got a bur.
00:24:12I mean, I've got a big house on the inside.
00:24:13Oh
00:24:43Oh
00:25:13Do you know where blood's high?
00:25:43Get her admitted
00:25:55I'll meet her in surgery with a crossmatch
00:25:57But you know you can't do that
00:25:58Don't worry about her
00:25:59I'll take care of them
00:26:00I need one unit
00:26:09Universal donor type blood
00:26:11Now
00:26:11Unauthorized?
00:26:15Forget it
00:26:16That woman does not need
00:26:17Three copies of a doctor's signature
00:26:19She needs blood
00:26:20Now
00:26:21Uncrossmatched
00:26:26Okay
00:26:29I'll tell him I had nothing to do with it
00:26:33Tell him whatever you want
00:26:34Tell him I bit you on the neck for it
00:26:36Just give it to me
00:26:37Thank you
00:26:41Nurse
00:26:44The patient will not be admitted to the hospital
00:26:49Until we have his full name
00:26:51You got his full name
00:26:52Chicken is his full name
00:26:54He has five million record buyers
00:26:55Chicken is his full name
00:26:56His age?
00:26:57We don't give that out
00:26:58Who do you think you are?
00:27:00I'm his manager
00:27:01I get 15% of everything he gets
00:27:04Including his pain
00:27:05Does he have hospitalization?
00:27:07How you gonna get insurance on a guy that started four riots in six weeks?
00:27:11Or six riots in four weeks?
00:27:13We can't even count
00:27:14Then we can't admit him
00:27:15What?
00:27:17We've had too many experiences with people who don't pay their bills
00:27:20There's no way to repossess an operation, you know
00:27:24Look, lady
00:27:25This guy gets $60,000 a riot
00:27:28Four more riots, he could buy the hospital
00:27:30Now, he doesn't need an operation
00:27:32He just has a little laryngitis
00:27:34What's he doing in a wheelchair anyway?
00:27:36I can have you put into a wheelchair too, Buster
00:27:39Thanks, I'll walk
00:27:42I'm taking him to his room
00:27:43Hold it, buddy
00:27:44I'm taking him to his room
00:27:45I have to have a last name on that creature
00:27:52Well, if we make you happy
00:27:54His full name is Chicken Delight
00:27:56Aren't you glad I got you out of the hospital?
00:28:11You better believe it
00:28:12Now, isn't this more fun than sailing a boat?
00:28:17Well, some people like sailing boats
00:28:18And some people like flying tides
00:28:20Besides, sailing isn't the only thing that gives me pleasure
00:28:22Oh, yeah?
00:28:24Yeah
00:28:25What gives you pleasure?
00:28:27You
00:28:42I have to have a last name on that creature
00:28:46I have to have a last name on that creature
00:28:48I have to have a last name on that creature
00:28:49I have to have a last name on that creature
00:28:50I have to have a last name on that creature
00:28:51I have to have a last name on that creature
00:28:52I have to have a last name on that creature
00:28:52I have to have a last name on that creature
00:28:53I have to have a last name on that creature
00:28:54I have to have a last name on that creature
00:28:55I have to have a last name on that creature
00:28:56I have to have a last name on that creature
00:28:57I have to have a last name on that creature
00:28:58I have to have a last name on that creature
00:28:59I have to have a last name on that creature
00:29:00I have to have a last name on that creature
00:29:02I have to have a last name on that creature
00:29:03I have to have a last name on that creature
00:29:04Oh, my God.
00:29:34Oh, my God.
00:30:04Oh, my God.
00:30:34Oh, my God.
00:31:04Oh, my God.
00:31:35My job is to help him get well.
00:31:37Listen.
00:31:37You listen.
00:31:39It's more important for Matt to get better than to sail in some race just so that you can get your picture in the paper.
00:31:45Do you know who you're talking to?
00:31:46Mm-hmm.
00:31:48A man who's getting older and who's mad because his son is getting more attention.
00:31:54That kid's going to love to be 80, but he won't be half as good as I am in any way.
00:31:57Mr. Fairbanks, I hate to be the one to tell you this, seeing how much you love competition, but this is one race you've already lost.
00:32:08All right, you little bitch.
00:32:09I'll show you who's lost.
00:32:12Damn it.
00:32:16What's wrong?
00:32:17What's wrong?
00:32:29Yeah.
00:33:30Come here.
00:34:01Mommy, look, he's dead.
00:34:02Mommy, look, he's dead.
00:34:32Mommy, look, he's dead.
00:35:02Mommy, look, he's dead.
00:35:32Nope.
00:35:33Never heard of it.
00:35:34Uh, operator, forget it.
00:35:36Thanks.
00:35:42Hi, Michelle.
00:35:43Hi, cutie.
00:35:44See what I made for Matt?
00:35:45Hey, beautiful.
00:35:46I thought as long as he was going to, um, not be on his belt, this would be the next best thing, you know?
00:35:50Yeah, um, listen, I've got to be on duty in a half an hour, but I've got to make a run.
00:35:54Can you come for me?
00:35:56Well, sure.
00:35:57Thanks.
00:35:58Anything wrong?
00:35:59No, I've just got to get a prescription filled.
00:36:01What are you doing dressed?
00:36:30I'm leaving.
00:36:31I'm leaving.
00:36:33You're what?
00:36:34I'm not going to miss that race.
00:36:36My father's checking me out.
00:36:38But that's dangerous.
00:36:41I'll survive.
00:36:43Hey, I brought you.
00:36:44Mom.
00:36:53Mom.
00:36:54Mom.
00:37:03The hospital more pleasant.
00:37:10This is not what we mean by pleasant.
00:37:14It was pleasant, wasn't it?
00:37:20You do have a tendency to overstep your authority occasionally.
00:37:26When there are enough doctors, I'll stick to emptying bedpans.
00:37:31You did order that emergency cross-match yesterday.
00:37:34You should have waited.
00:37:35The patient couldn't wait.
00:37:37Well, I'm glad you admitted anyway.
00:37:40It shows you're willing to accept the responsibility for your actions.
00:37:44But it's unfortunate that because of what you did, that woman now has septicemia.
00:37:51We'll be lucky, frankly, if she lives.
00:37:55Because if she lives, she'll sue.
00:38:00Is there anything I can do?
00:38:03You can stay home for a day or two until I can get the board together for a hearing.
00:38:10I am sorry.
00:38:17I'm sorry, too, Joanne.
00:38:20For a nurse, you're a hell of a doctor.
00:38:22And you should have waited.
00:38:30We'll be lucky, frankly, if she lives.
00:38:32Head nurse, not head doctor.
00:38:34For a nurse, you're a hell of a doctor.
00:38:35He's not going to die or anything.
00:38:37You want to do a doctor?
00:38:39Huh.
00:38:39And that is what I have been paying $25 for.
00:38:43You know, they ought to be arrested doctors.
00:38:46They're bandits, all of them.
00:38:48You're okay, kid.
00:38:49I'm going to tell my sister about this place.
00:38:51Of course, she lives in Omaha.
00:38:53I'm going to send her a telegram.
00:38:55Why don't you tell all your friends about this place?
00:38:57Yeah, I think I'm going to.
00:38:58It's fantastic.
00:38:59Wish I'd known about it earlier.
00:39:00I'd be saving money all these years.
00:39:01Okay, thanks a lot.
00:39:04See you later.
00:39:05Okay.
00:39:10How are things?
00:39:12Looking up.
00:39:13How about you?
00:39:14You wouldn't believe it.
00:39:31Oh, Miss Whitey?
00:39:41Yes.
00:39:41I'm Lucille Enders.
00:39:43Sometimes we talk on the phone.
00:39:45Oh, yes.
00:39:46This is Joanne Scott, my assistant.
00:39:48Joanne, Miss Enders.
00:39:49How do you do?
00:39:50No, Mrs. Enders.
00:39:51I prefer Mrs.
00:39:53I'm not ashamed of the fact that I'm married.
00:39:56However, I'll refer to you as Miss.
00:39:59If that's what you'd like.
00:40:00Your choice.
00:40:01Should we go in the other room?
00:40:04Oh.
00:40:04Okay.
00:40:06To tell you the truth, I got this assignment because I'm female.
00:40:10I'd much rather be writing about fires.
00:40:13We could burn the place down if that would help.
00:40:17What I'm after is a little story for the woman's section.
00:40:20Oh, something about your background.
00:40:23A little about your home life.
00:40:25My favorite recipes.
00:40:27Oh, this may turn out to be okay after all.
00:40:29How about all the famous people that visit us here?
00:40:32The fire commissioner, the board of health, the vice squad.
00:40:37You really are busy.
00:40:38Oh, we're a regular tourist attraction.
00:40:41We've even been inspected by the restaurant licensed people.
00:40:43We're using yogurt in our treatment.
00:40:46Yogurt?
00:40:48About the treatment, um, hey, why don't we have a picture of you learning to examine yourself?
00:40:56Oh, no.
00:40:57No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:40:58I have someone to do that.
00:41:00An actual gynecologist.
00:41:02Why don't you examine your assistant?
00:41:06I'm sure she wouldn't object.
00:41:08Oh, no, not at all.
00:41:12We do have other functions here besides training women to find infection.
00:41:17I'll bet you do.
00:41:18We do VD tests.
00:41:20We have classes in birth control techniques.
00:41:23We have a class in natural childbirth starting next week.
00:41:27That's never appealed to me.
00:41:30Natural childbirth is so...
00:41:33Somehow it's unnatural.
00:41:35We also have a referral service for abortions.
00:41:39Where's them chumba?
00:41:51The chumba.
00:42:09You've got to be more careful what you say to people like that.
00:42:39She deserved it.
00:42:41Well, I didn't.
00:42:43She writes one good article and maybe I'll be able to go a day or two without every inspector in L.A. County trying to close a place down.
00:42:50You just have to keep fighting them.
00:42:53That is not the way I work.
00:42:55That's the only way you can work.
00:42:57Look, Joanne, medicine is big business in this country and we're trying to buck it.
00:43:02We've got to stay cool or they are going to kick our heads in.
00:43:05I thought you were willing to take risks.
00:43:07Don't tell me what I'm willing to do.
00:43:10Not until you're willing to come down here and put your head in the noose with mine.
00:43:17Are you coming back?
00:43:19I don't know.
00:43:19Hi, Kitty.
00:43:33Hi, Kitty.
00:43:49Hi.
00:43:53How you doing, babe?
00:44:03I brought you something for good luck.
00:44:29What's the matter?
00:44:31I think you know.
00:44:33No, I don't.
00:44:36Why don't you go ask my father?
00:44:38Your father?
00:44:40What are you...
00:44:41He told me all about it.
00:44:46Did he tell you that I stabbed him with a needle?
00:44:49I thought he stabbed you.
00:44:51You're kidding.
00:44:52He really told you that.
00:44:53He didn't go out with you.
00:44:56I wouldn't go out with your father
00:44:58if he were my father.
00:45:01Hey, take me with you.
00:45:06My father has to crew for me.
00:45:09Your father, huh?
00:45:10Is that a rule?
00:45:12That's a tradition that's more important than a rule.
00:45:15Sure it is.
00:45:17Until you find yourself a new tradition.
00:45:21Come on.
00:45:22You're gonna race to win?
00:45:25I was racing to win when I pulled you out of the water.
00:45:30Please?
00:45:33Come on.
00:45:34You're gonna lose!
00:45:52After all I did for you!
00:45:56You're gonna lose!
00:45:58After all he did for you, you're gonna lose.
00:46:01After all he did for me, I almost did.
00:46:03Man of roars.
00:46:06I can't.
00:46:14I'm gonna lose.
00:46:15You're going to lose.
00:46:16You're gonna lose.
00:46:17You're gonna lose.
00:46:18You're gonna lose.

00:51:26Well, Michelle, how are you?
00:51:49It's a pleasure to see you.
00:51:51How do you feel?
00:51:52Lester, would you please close the door?
00:51:56Told you we'd mess with the wrong kind of people.
00:52:02You know, I'm not really angry with you.
00:52:04I'm only angry with those beach boys.
00:52:06You know, I had to get rid of them.
00:52:08The same way, you see,
00:52:09that I had to get rid of you.
00:52:10I've got to get rid of them.
00:52:15No!
00:52:19I can't let him die!
00:52:26I can't let him die.
00:52:56Old man had money coming in from all sides.
00:53:17All the Medicare payments to him old folks was giving to him.
00:53:20And he was overcharging him like crazy.
00:53:22So we're with now.
00:53:28Got Floyd on the street.
00:53:31Dealing their shit, shooting in them people's arms.
00:53:34That's going too.
00:53:36That man was a goddamn tycoon.
00:53:38Sure he was.
00:53:40What are you?
00:53:42Hey, baby.
00:53:43I wasn't anything.
00:53:45I didn't even know what the stuff was until you started coming around and asking questions about it.
00:53:49All I knew was that he had an island somewhere in Baja.
00:53:51Had it made a stash before they outlawed it.
00:53:55Found out what the stuff did.
00:53:57Decided it was about time for him to retire.
00:53:59So you planned on killing him all the time, right?
00:54:02Not from the beginning, baby.
00:54:04Not till you came back.
00:54:07I figured that we might as well get that money and do it together.
00:54:10Make a lie for ourselves.
00:54:14Hey, baby.
00:54:15We had some good times together.
00:54:17Yeah, we did.
00:54:18We did.
00:54:21Will you come with me?
00:54:26You always did like boats.
00:54:29I always did like money.
00:54:31Yeah.
00:54:33And I always did like you.
00:54:39Goodbye, Lester.
00:54:40Michelle.
00:54:48I wasn't really asking you.
00:54:51I'm telling you.
00:54:52You're coming with me.
00:55:08Ready to come about?
00:55:09What are you doing?
00:55:13I'm pulling out of the race.
00:55:16Why?
00:55:17Because I've already won.
00:55:19You have, huh?
00:55:20Why?
00:55:20Don't you think I'm a winner?
00:55:22Sure, I think you're a winner.
00:55:23I think you're a winner.
00:55:23I think you're a winner.
00:55:25Michelle.
00:55:40Hey, I've got a quarter million dollars.
00:55:42Michelle, hey, I've got a quarter million dollars of that old man's money down there.
00:55:59Hey, Michelle, all we got to do is dump him out of the sea.
00:56:02He would do it to you.
00:56:05Hey, look, baby, there's no point in me going anyplace if I can't go with you.
00:56:09Michelle, hey, baby, I did it all for you.
00:56:21Michelle!
00:56:25Look, we've been together a long time now.
00:56:30Come down on me because I was a joke.
00:56:39You got a problem?
00:56:51Aren't you crazy?
00:56:52We got a bunk full of stolen money and a dead body on board.
00:56:55And me.
00:56:56Hey, ahoy there.
00:57:01Are you okay?
00:57:02You guys mind giving me a ride back?
00:57:12What you going to do, leave me here by myself?
00:57:14Oh, now, baby, when I do that, as soon as I get back, I'm going to call the Coast Guard to come out and rescue you, okay?
00:57:21Of course, now, it might take a couple of hours to get you a phone, but I think we can deal with it.
00:57:27Okay, let's go.
00:57:30Bye, baby.
00:57:39Michelle!
00:57:49Michelle!
00:57:49We have the pathologist report that the patient, Mrs. Johnson, yes, Mrs. Johnson, contracted
00:58:14and died of septicemia as a result of a transfusion which was given her on, uh, I don't know
00:58:20what the date is.
00:58:21May we have the first witness?
00:58:26In my whole nine years here, I have not seen as many infractions of the established procedures
00:58:32as this young lady committed single-handed.
00:58:38Just wishing me.
00:58:39Is someone talking?
00:58:41This is a hearing.
00:58:42Continue, Nurse Stockett.
00:58:44When nurses don't follow the rules, the hospital suffers.
00:58:49And when nurses do follow the rules, the patients suffer.
00:58:53Everyone has their duties to perform.
00:58:56And if everyone performs their own duties, the hospital will be better off.
00:59:01The important thing, then, is for the hospital to run smoothly?
00:59:05An efficient hospital is a healthy hospital.
00:59:08My concern is with the hospital, not with the individual patient.
00:59:12One of the charges brought against me is that I treated a man for insulin shock without a doctor's approval.
00:59:21Dr. Krebs, did I try to reach you for permission?
00:59:26Yes, you did.
00:59:28That man would have been dead if I had waited for you.
00:59:33Now, I'd rather lose a job than lose a patient.
00:59:36About the cross-match.
00:59:39I think there's some testimony that needs to be heard here.
00:59:43What are you doing?
00:59:44I'm saving your ass.
00:59:46Our friend, the nurse here, was dragged into this tribunal for one thing.
00:59:55Ordering an unauthorized blood cross-match.
00:59:59Yes?
01:00:00Come on, Mother.
01:00:01Well, let's just say that was one of the final straws, okay?
01:00:03How many cases of septicemia in this hospital since this nurse has been relieved of her duties?
01:00:09Four.
01:00:10Well, then, it couldn't have been the procedure at all.
01:00:12It had to be the blood.
01:00:13We ran tests on it.
01:00:14The whole shipment was infected.
01:00:17We get blood from all over.
01:00:19There's no way of knowing if some wino on Skid Row walks into a blood bank with any number of imperfections in his blood.
01:00:25Why didn't you...
01:00:27Why didn't anyone say anything about this beforehand?
01:00:30I was asked not to.
01:00:31I was told there could be a lot of lawsuits.
01:00:34Who asked you not to?
01:00:36I'd rather not say.
01:00:42You tried to cover up what you did by pinning all this on me.
01:00:51Well, the board has deliberated and we've reached a decision.
01:00:56Under the circumstances, we feel that you cannot be held responsible for the death of the woman.
01:01:01We are not pleased with your methods, but we've decided to be lenient and we're putting you on probation for six months.
01:01:10It doesn't matter.
01:01:11I beg your pardon?
01:01:12Thank you for the vote of confidence.
01:01:15But I have another job.
01:01:16When you get around to treating your nurses like human beings and your patients like people,
01:01:24then you give me a call.
01:01:25I still don't understand why you didn't tell me before.
01:01:55I'm a free woman.
01:01:59How free?
01:02:01You still make house calls?
01:02:03I might need a doctor tonight.
01:02:05That's one call I'll make free.
01:02:08Free?
01:02:11Free.
01:02:12You still make house calls?
01:02:36Nurse!
01:02:36Can you help this man?
01:02:38He's as blue as he can be
01:02:39The fever's up and his hope is down, he needs your sympathy
01:02:45The doctor says it's hopeless, your doubts have been pulled through
01:02:50Here's your chance just to prove what you can do
01:02:55Boo boo boo, boo boo boo, boo boo boo boo boo
01:03:09Boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo
