04:34Dr. Sloan.
04:36You all right?
04:38So far.
04:42Whoever shot off this place must have went out the back before we got here.
04:44Well, who are you?
04:46We came to take you with us.
04:58I'll wait right here.
05:02I'll wait right here.
05:32My father insisted that all his children learn to play something besides the horses.
05:45You still play very well, Gus.
05:48You used to play pretty good.
05:50Well, like you.
05:51Come on.
05:52Come on.
05:53Come on.
05:54Come on.
05:55Go take the left hand.
05:56Let's go.
06:02Let's go.
06:27Tommy said you had some problems.
06:29Your men may have saved my life, Gus.
06:33How have you been?
06:35I'm glad you asked me.
06:37I have got a pain in my side.
06:39It's killing me.
06:40I just thought maybe you might...
06:42Pull up your shirt.
06:46Okay.
06:47Let's have a look here.
06:48You know, I wouldn't trust anybody else but you to look at me, Doc.
06:52Isn't that what I always say, Tommy?
06:54He always says that.
06:55This is the guy that pulled five slugs out of me, then patched me up as good as new.
07:00Tommy's heard that story.
07:01I like that story.
07:02Yeah.
07:03It's right here.
07:04Yeah.
07:05You wouldn't bring me over here just for a house call, would you, Gus?
07:11Uh-huh.
07:12Uh, I heard that Charlie Stewart's boy was, uh, down at Bruno's, snooping around, asking questions about Tommy Rafanti.
07:26Now, Tommy is very important to me.
07:31Jack was there at my request, Gus.
07:36I'm kind of up against it.
07:38My son, Steve, has been framed for the murder of a fellow officer.
07:42Hmm.
07:43Well, I haven't heard anything about the killing.
07:47What do you know about this, Tommy?
07:50News to me.
07:51You see, I try not to get involved with the day-to-day stuff anymore.
07:55That's why I have people working for me, you know?
07:57I...
07:58You think this could be my liver?
08:01Liver's on the other side.
08:03Oh.
08:04You see, when Charlie Stewart got sick the first time, he asked me to take care of his kid.
08:10And then you came to me and told me Jack could be a great doctor.
08:14So, because I trust your word and as a favor to Charlie, I invested in the kid.
08:19Good investment, Gus. He is a great doctor.
08:22I don't want to see my investment wasted.
08:25Jack's better off if he sticks to medicine.
08:28As you found out today, this is serious business.
08:34Yeah. You can put your shirt in.
08:37What is it? I mean, I can take it.
08:41Well, medically speaking, Gus, you are suffering from distention of the abdomen.
08:53Give that to me in English.
08:55Gus, stay away from the sausage and the peppers.
09:04Okay. Standby. Roll tape.
09:07Three, two, one.
09:10Reporting from Community General Hospital, this is Ed Green.
09:12And I'm here with Dolores Mitchell, the shop steward with the nurses' union.
09:16Dolores, how are the negotiations progressing?
09:18We've made our counter-proposals, but the hospital refuses to respond.
09:22So we ask you what...
09:23Dr. Sloan, could you comment?
09:24Wait a minute.
09:25She's not finished.
09:26I'm not finished. I have a prepared statement.
09:28She has a prepared statement.
09:29Doctor, what is the strike effect on the hospital so far?
09:32Uh, well, the doctors and the interns, of course, are trying their best to fill in, but we're very short-handed.
09:37We have had to cancel all of our surgeries.
09:39But we ask you, who suffers? The patients.
09:41The patients.
09:42Yeah.
09:43What exactly is the position of the hospital?
09:46Uh, well, on the one hand, the cold-heart fact is that this hospital is out of money.
09:52But on the other hand...
09:53Oh, really? If they're so broke, then why do they approve that new parking structure right over there?
09:58Oh, my God.
10:01And so, ladies and gentlemen, as you have just seen, this bitter labor dispute has now escalated into physical violence.
10:13Hi.
10:16I-I can't talk now. I'm working.
10:19All right. Uh, show me some corsages.
10:23What are you, getting engaged?
10:26Yeah, some day.
10:32You shouldn't have come back to the neighborhood, Jack.
10:35You don't belong here anymore.
10:37There's something I gotta tell you.
10:39Yeah, well, I-I don't wanna hear it.
10:40Yeah, I'm gonna tell you anyway.
10:41Tommy Refinite could be in a lot of trouble.
10:43Will you keep your voice-
10:45Then talk to me.
10:46May I help you?
10:47No, thank you. I'm just looking.
10:49Is it okay if I take my break now, Mr. Landers?
10:52Go ahead.
10:56Okay, so what's this about Tommy?
11:02What about Tommy?
11:05He's up to his neck at crooked cops.
11:07Look, Tommy doesn't discuss his business with me, and I don't ask.
11:11Maybe it's time you did.
11:13What do you care about what I think about Tommy or anything else?
11:18Last time I saw you was, uh, so long, Josie, I'm going to med school.
11:22Hey, that doesn't mean I stopped caring about you.
11:24Sh-sure.
11:26You never even called me.
11:29I'm sorry. I should've.
11:32Not a phone call, not a birthday card, nothing.
11:37I waited a year for you, Jack.
11:40A whole year.
11:42And then why?
11:43You started seeing Tommy Refinite, right?
11:45Let me tell you something, Josie.
11:47What this guy's involved in could put an innocent man in jail.
11:50He's no good.
11:51Yeah?
11:52Well, he's good to me, and that's all I care about.
11:55I don't believe that.
11:57All right, look, forget about this.
12:02I...
12:03Josie, look, I need you to help me, all right?
12:06I need you to call me if you hear anything
12:11about a cop named Schroeder who got killed.
12:16Okay?
12:17Don't come around again, Jack.
12:27You're not gonna hit me with that, are you?
12:37You're not making this easy.
12:39You know, if you'd given me just one more minute,
12:42I would've said something like,
12:43on the other hand, the nurses are right.
12:45I know. That's why I'm here.
12:47You're forgiving me?
12:49You forgive me first?
12:51Dolores, all is forgiven.
12:54Look at that.
12:56This thing's all crooked.
12:57You never were any good with bandages.
12:59Oh, you're right about that.
13:00Hey, why don't you stay for dinner?
13:01Steve and Jack are here.
13:02Thanks.
13:03Gotta go.
13:04There's a rally tonight.
13:05And people afraid of losing their jobs need a lot of support.
13:08See you.
13:09You take care of yourself.
13:10You too.
13:11Thanks for the cake.
13:21I tell him to be careful, and he almost gets himself killed.
13:23You talking about me?
13:24No.
13:25My father would never put himself in that position.
13:28So what did you find out?
13:30Well, from what I overheard Michaels tell Rafanti,
13:33these guys are planning to move some goods.
13:35What kind and where?
13:36I have no idea.
13:37All I know is they're gonna do it in less than 24 hours.
13:40That doesn't give us much time.
13:42You mean that doesn't give me much time?
13:45Wait a minute.
13:46Look, I am through sitting around.
13:48What the hell do we do now?
13:51There's still a few guys I can trust at the precinct.
13:54I'll just call in a couple of favors.
13:56Like what?
13:57Like what their work schedule is tomorrow.
13:59Right.
14:00Their work schedule becomes our work schedule.
14:03What's with all your work schedule?
14:06I'm there for it.
14:073-2-7-9-0-5-1-8-0-5-1-8-0-3-9-0-5-1-8.
14:109340.
14:118739, 7541.
14:198739, 7541.
14:40You better follow him in sign.
14:58All right.
14:59Who are you going to be?
15:00Well, they spot me.
15:01I'll back you up.
15:10Hey, you want to bring him?
15:14Right here.
15:15Just like you asked.
15:40I'll back you up.
16:10What's in the case?
16:15Some heavy firepower.
16:40What's in the case?
16:47What's in the case?
16:55I don't get it.
17:10Why a bread truck?
17:12Let's just hope we can find out.
17:13Let's just hope we can find out.
17:21Let's just hope we can find out.
17:23Let's just hope we can find out.
17:31Let's just hope we can find out.
17:37Let's just hope we can find out.
17:43Let's just hope we can find out.
17:49Straight! Straight! Straight! Straight! Straight! Straight! Straight!
17:56Did the police ever locate that stolen truck?
17:58No, they got it stashed away someplace.
18:01I sure as hell wish I knew why they would want to steal a bread truck.
18:05Can't figure out what the other ones are doing.
18:08You know, I'll bet you that Schroeder somehow got wind of it...
18:11and wanted to be cut in, for which he was murdered.
18:15Either that or one of the detectives decided this might be a convenient time...
18:18to settle an old-score.
18:21Of course, the question remains, what are they up to?
18:24And where does this, uh, Tommy Rafanti, where does he fit in?
18:28That's a good question. Where's Jack, by the way?
18:35Hey. I gotta talk to you.
18:40Why did you have to come back? My life was going just fine.
18:44Listen to me.
18:47Something big is going down today, and I gotta know what it is.
18:50How would I know? I told you. Tommy keeps me out of his business.
18:54He can't keep you out of this. This is too big. And it's too dirty.
19:02Son, I don't want to see you get hurt, Josie.
19:04Now, for your own good, tell me what you know.
19:11I'm not sure what Tommy's doing.
19:13Oh, damn it! Come on!
19:15I... you...
19:17Oh, I heard him on the phone talking to someone about some money...
19:20coming in for Benedict from the coast.
19:23Tommy said he could use it.
19:25That's all I know.
19:27Oh, no!
19:33I'm sorry.
19:48For what?
19:50The way things turned out.
19:56Yeah.
19:59It was something.
20:02It was crazy to leave you.
20:05Yeah.
20:07You are.
20:08What's Tommy?
20:09Oh, I'm fine.
20:33Phone calls?
20:34Hello to you, too.
20:37You expecting a call?
20:40Any minute.
20:42Um, do you have any aspirin?
20:43My head's pounding.
20:44Uh, yeah, yeah. I'll get it.
20:47There's your call.
20:54Hello.
20:56Yeah, what's up?
21:02Look.
21:04Don't worry about it.
21:05It's gonna happen just like we planned.
21:08The money's on its way.
21:10When your end goes down,
21:12the oil's gonna break loose.
21:14And I'll be holding the ransom money.
21:16Okay?
21:18Yeah, right.
21:19One o'clock.
21:34Huh?
21:35I've got it.
21:36I've got to put the water out.
21:37I'll do it, too.
21:40It's good.
21:42I'll do it.
21:44I'll do it.
21:46Bye.
21:48Bye.
21:50Bye.
21:51Bye.
21:53I'll do it.
21:54Bye.
21:55Bye.
21:56Bye.
21:58Bye.
22:00Come on.
22:02Their downsizing is like death. It's final. Their jobs no longer exist.
22:07Well, then there's nothing Dolores and her nurses can do.
22:09Except get me fired. The nurses think I'm behind this debacle.
22:13Every one of them hates me. If it was up to me, and believe me,
22:17I would give them everything they want, but it isn't.
22:20Well, then you know what I do, Norman? I'd walk right out there and tell them.
22:24You would.
22:25Oh, yes, I know these nurses. They'll understand.
22:29If they see that I'm sincere, maybe they'll stop yelling at me.
22:31Shaking their fists and trampling on the lawn.
22:35Give them a chance, Norman.
22:36All right. All right. I'll do it.
22:42Thank you, Sloan.
22:54Get him! Get him! Get him!
22:56Get him! Get him!
22:57Get him! Get him!
22:58Get him! Get him!
22:59Get him! Get him!
23:01You lie! You lie! You lie! You lie!
23:03You lie! You lie! You lie! You lie!
23:04I can't! Get him!
23:05Get him! Get him!
23:10Any more good ideas?
23:14Uh-huh. Talk faster and keep moving?
23:19Uh... I guess not.
23:20Dad?
23:21Dad?
23:25Dad?
23:26Oh, I'm sorry, Steve. What'd you say?
23:28I checked with the duty officer. All four are off-duty. Whatever they're doing, it goes down today.
23:33Guys, hold on to your shorts. My source just called me. She overheard Tommy right now.
23:34I'm sorry, Steve. What'd you say?
23:35I checked with the duty officer. All four are off-duty. Whatever they're doing, it goes down today.
23:37Guys, hold on to your shorts. My source just called me. She overheard Tommy Rafanti talking with somebody about ransom money. And whatever's happening is going down today at one o'clock.
23:50That's it! It's been right in front of our faces the whole time. It's got to be a kidnapping. All right, but who would they want to kidnap?
24:04Somebody close to Rafanti, somebody that's worth a lot for the time.
24:10Okay, what?
24:12What would you say?
24:14Who would they want to kidnap?
24:16Somebody close to Rafanti.
24:19Somebody that's worth a lot to the organization.
24:23You think they're going to kidnap Gus Benedict?
24:28It's got to be.
24:34Mr. Rafanti, how you doing?
24:35Just fine, Mitch.
24:36Good to see you.
24:37Look, Mr. Benedict called. He's on his way.
24:38How's this look to you, sir?
24:40Perfect.
24:41Thanks.
24:42Thank you, sir.
25:14Mr. Benedict?
25:15Hey.
25:16Good to see you.
25:17Good to see you.
25:17Mr. Benedict, how are you?
25:18I'm good.
25:19Good to see you.
25:20Mr. Benedict, how are you?
25:22Hey, butch.
25:23Tommy?
25:24You been waiting long?
25:26Mr. Benedict, how are you?
25:30I'm good.
25:32Butch, Tommy.
25:35You been waiting long?
25:36No, I just got here.
25:56All right, now, everybody there.
25:59I'll go, now.
26:00Down, down.
26:03Here we go, get it.
26:07I guess I may suggest.
26:09Party's over, gentlemen.
26:10Hey, hey, hey.
26:11Down, down, get down.
26:12Come on, you, you, come on.
26:13Come on, come on.
26:15Hey.
26:16All right, anybody moves, Benedict's dead.
26:18They'll be hearing from us.
26:22The bakery says they deliver here every day at 1 o'clock.
26:25Yeah, Gus Benedict eats here all the time.
26:40Gentlemen, can I help you?
26:46Where's Gus?
26:47Couldn't make it.
26:55You shouldn't be here.
27:18I have to see you again.
27:19This is never going to work.
27:22I know.
27:28Gus Benedict's been kidnapped.
27:31Tommy has to deliver $3 million or else I kill him.
27:36Don't worry.
27:37Tommy's going to do it.
27:39Josie, you don't know.
27:41You don't understand.
27:42Tommy is in on it.
27:43Oh, no, Tommy would never do anything to hurt Gus Benedict.
27:49Think about it.
27:51Tommy knew about the ransom money in advance.
27:55He set the whole thing up.
27:58You've got to get away from this guy.
28:04I can't.
28:07You can.
28:08Walk out of here with me now.
28:12It's too late.
28:16I'm pregnant.
28:23I couldn't leave Tommy now even if I wanted to.
28:26I don't know what happened to her, Mark.
28:35I really don't.
28:39Well, whatever it was, Jack, it wasn't your fault.
28:42Sometimes life makes medicine look like an exact science.
28:47I don't know.
28:47Maybe, uh, maybe if I did things differently, you know?
28:52Oh, yeah, we're all geniuses when it comes to hindsight.
28:55Well, you've got to give Vickers and those guys credit.
28:58Careful.
29:00It's a perfect crime.
29:02Kidnap a crime boss.
29:04Nobody will report it.
29:05Nobody will call in the FBI.
29:06It's just pay up or else.
29:08What, any news about that bread truck?
29:10Yeah, they picked it up across town.
29:11There wasn't a clue on it.
29:13I tried to locate our four detectives, but get this.
29:16All four are supposedly off on a fishing trip up north.
29:20This whole scheme is so buttoned up that no one on the street
29:22even knows Benedict is missing.
29:23Well, I hate to say this, gentlemen, but, uh,
29:26looks like we got a whole lot of nothing.
29:29Maybe.
29:31Maybe not.
29:33Who was it who said that a kidnapping is a play in three acts?
29:38The first act is the abduction.
29:40Second act is the negotiation.
29:43The third act, the exchange.
29:46Now, if Fonte is really double-crossing Gus Benedict,
29:49apparently he is, then he has got to live out this little charade
29:53right to the final curtain.
29:57Do you think Captain Greenwood would help you out if you spoke to him?
30:00Depends on what you have in mind.
30:02If we can get Rafonte just to make one slip,
30:05we'll know who killed Schroeder.
30:09Yeah.
30:28Yeah, I know where that is.
30:31I know where he is.
30:46There we go.
30:49There we go.
30:50There we go.
33:54Mr. Benedict.
33:55You should be happy to know that you're worth so much money to your friends.
33:58Got all of it?
34:14Better believe it.
34:16Three million.
34:17Fresh from the coast.
34:18Anybody follow you?
34:19If they did, they saw me drop off the suitcases just like we planned.
34:23And all they got for the trouble was a lot of newspaper.
34:26Everyone was so freaked out, they didn't expect anything.
34:31Check this out, boys.
34:33Not bad for a few days' work.
34:36It's nice.
34:38What about Benedict?
34:44What about Benedict?
34:47I held up on my end of the bargain.
34:50Unfortunately, the kidnappers, they double-crossed us.
34:53They took the money.
34:54But they killed poor old Gus.
34:58It wasn't part of the plan.
35:01Plans change.
35:05He's yours.
35:16It's okay, Gus.
35:18It's me, Tommy.
35:20Come on.
35:21I came to get you.
35:22I paid them the ransom with the money you had flown in from the coast.
35:34Everything's going to be all right.
35:41I know you've been through a lot, Gus.
35:44But it'll all be over just in a few moments.
36:00Hmm.
36:03Very important to me, too, Gus.
36:06Rub it.
36:09Now!
36:09Freeze!
36:13Freeze!
36:18You're not the program, don't move!
36:26Hotline report number 10, Toronto, all lanes at 9-7.
36:30All right, let's go.
36:304.8 report.
36:32Crystal motor started.
36:34You set me up with that phone call, didn't you, boy scout?
36:37Mm-hmm.
36:38When you called in, we traced the call to a phone booth down the street.
36:41Then we just staked it out and waited for Raffani to show.
36:43Hold on.
36:55Mr. Raffani, I think we have something of yours.
37:10Where did you find that?
37:12He showed his apartment where you lost it in the struggle when you murdered him.
37:16You can't prove that.
37:19Well, we'll see about that, son.
37:21He's right, sugar.
37:22He is right.
37:23Oh, your blood pressure is just a little elevated.
37:31Other than that, you're nowhere's for the wear.
37:33I'd like to take care of Raffani right now.
37:37Oh, Gus.
37:38Without him, we won't know who framed Steve.
37:42This better be good, Sloan.
37:45Oh, excuse me.
37:46You're with the patient.
37:47Which is why I called you.
37:49Norman Briggs, I'd like for you to meet Mr. Anonymous.
37:52This hospital is collapsing all around me, and you're making practical jokes?
37:56I never make jokes.
37:58This is the same Mr. Anonymous who donated the hematology lab last year?
38:03It's my pleasure.
38:05How can I help you, sir?
38:07Well, he already has.
38:09He saved my life two years ago on the operating table, and today, when he did it again.
38:13Dr. Sloan is our best and our brightest.
38:16We're all very proud.
38:17There is no finer doctor.
38:19Whenever I have a problem, I turn to my office.
38:21Thank you, Norman.
38:22In gratitude, I'm making a donation to your hospital.
38:26My hospital thanks you?
38:28Are we talking a new wing, boys?
38:30No, Norman.
38:31We're talking personnel.
38:32The money goes to rehire the nurses.
38:35What?
38:35All of them.
38:37Now.
38:38This is blackmail, isn't it?
38:41He's smarter than he looks.
38:44Three million, Norman.
38:47Take it or leave it?
38:50The board would be very impressed.
38:54Nurses will like you.
38:55Nobody likes me.
38:57Nobody thinks I'm smart.
38:59And everybody's going to wonder how I pull this off.
39:01It'll be our little secret.
39:07Blessed are those who give it, and blessed are those who take it.
39:15Don't tell me your problems.
39:17Yeah, I'm out on bail, but I need the money right now.
39:20I've got to get out of town before Benedict finds me.
39:24You better come through for me, man, or I'll tell him who pulled the trigger on Schroeder.
39:30It's more like it.
39:31You bring the money to the parking garage at 54th and Grand Inn, two hours.
39:36I'll meet you on the fourth floor.
39:39Yeah.
39:41What's going on, Tommy?
39:43What kind of trouble are you in?
39:45I'll be back.
39:47Don't lie to me anymore, Tommy.
39:50Everything will be fine, Josie.
39:53I gotta go.
39:54Tommy, talk to me.
39:57Don't go.
39:58Don't go.
39:58Don't go.
40:03Don't go.
40:03Don't go.
40:04Vickers, can you just bring money?
40:20Sure.
40:21Come on.
40:23I'm sorry about this, Tommy.
40:26But I can't trust anyone anymore.
40:29I see you're carrying here.
40:31You got a bug?
40:32I swear, I'm not wired.
40:34I just want the money.
40:36I need a head start against Benedict.
40:38Who are you gonna run to?
40:40What do you care?
40:42Hey, if you were smart, you wouldn't stick around with the kidnapping charger in your head either.
40:46Not to mention what we did to that detective Powell friend of yours.
40:49As long as you keep your mouth shut, nobody's gonna connect either of us to Schroeder.
40:53Tommy didn't have to say a word, Detective Vickers.
40:56I knew my son was innocent, but thanks for telling me who did it.
40:59How'd you find us here?
41:01Who I've been keeping track of, Tommy?
41:03Uh, you should've left well enough alone, Doctor.
41:06Hey, Tommy.
41:07No.
41:08Stop it.
41:09No, wait a minute.
41:10Tommy.
41:11Are you nuts?
41:12Come on.
41:13It was like Schroeder.
41:14He knew too much.
41:15Schroeder was a different story.
41:16I wasted him to settle a score.
41:17Cutting him out of the action was an excuse.
41:32With your money?
41:33Here.
41:34Have a good life.
41:35Freeze, Vickers!
41:37Get your hands up!
41:38Freeze!
41:39Get them out!
41:40Freeze!
41:41Get them out!
41:42Freeze!
41:43Get them out!
41:44Freeze!
41:45Get them out!
41:46Get them out!
41:53Get them out!
41:56Ha!
41:58Go!
41:59There's no air figures, give it up.
42:29Hey, nuts! Come on, it's like Schroeder. He knew too much.
42:41Schroeder was a different story. I wasted him to settle a score.
42:45Cutting him out of the action was an excuse.
42:47Show over, Vickers. Money?
42:49Here, heaven in life.
42:56Freeze, Vickers!
42:59I thought you might try to frisk Tommy,
43:04but I figured you'd never bother to check on a dead man.
43:06Tommy was the bait.
43:08We set you up, and Tommy shot me with blanks.
43:11And, of course, this was recording all the time.
43:15It's my distinct pleasure to place you under arrest
43:18for the murder of Lloyd Schroeder.
43:20He deserved what he got.
43:23I'm not sorry now, and I never will be.
43:26Well, never is a very long time, detective.
43:29Of course, you and your partners will have a chance to find out how long in prison.
43:33It's okay.
43:34Hello.
43:35Hi.
43:36I, uh, talked to Gus Benedict.
43:37He doesn't blame you.
43:38That's good.
43:39I always liked Gus Benedict.
43:41I hated putting Tommy in protective custody.
43:43Yeah, yeah, yeah.
43:44He's, uh, he's gonna testify at the trial, and in return for his testimony, they're gonna put him in the witness protection program.
43:56You're gonna go with him?
43:57You're gonna go with him?
43:58I have to go.
44:03I have to go.
44:16I didn't get a chance to thank you.
44:41Oh.
44:42Come on.
44:43Steve, forget about that, man.
44:44No problem.
44:45Sorry about the girl.
44:47And me, too.
44:50I'll catch you later, all right?
45:02Dolores!
45:04Light of my life, you have no idea how glad I am to see you.
45:07Don't give me any of that sweet talk.
45:09What did you do to my desk?
45:10You ought to be ashamed.
45:11Come here.
45:12Now things are back to normal.
45:15Well, I may be back, but things around you will never be normal.
45:19Mark, could I please see you for a moment?
45:23Oh, sure, Norman.
45:28I-I just wanted to say that I thought we worked very well together on this strike business.
45:33Well, I'm happy to hear you say that, Norman.
45:35And it just so happens that my contract with the hospital is coming up for renewal.
45:40And I think that you'll be an excellent choice to represent me.
45:44Norman, I'd be happy to do it.
45:46Of course, you're gonna have to explain to me exactly what it is you do around here.
45:50It's a joke, Norbert.
45:54Oh, no!
46:24Viacom.
46:54Viacom.
