03:06I'll be standing the crown region hotel. Talk to you soon
03:27You
03:32Bruno Crespi, all right tan rested and ready to run surveillance base to tag team everybody in place
03:45Where to I'll reach an hotel that cold just drive
03:57Alright, he's moving tag team. Let's keep him in sight last time. We lost his creep somebody died
04:27You
04:31Morning
04:33You got a minute to look at mr. Miller's stomach. He's still got pain. Yeah, and now I know why
04:39Morning, Lewis
04:44Wanna come in and look at an x-ray. I have a file full of x-rays. Yeah, but you'll love this one
04:49You can show me anything. I haven't seen before
04:53Somehow I believe that well take a look at this anyway
04:57Hey walk
05:05What is that
05:06craps
05:08dice
05:09I've never seen that before
05:11Mr. Miller didn't tell you he'd swallowed dice. Did he know he was probably embarrassed
05:17Why would he do that? Well, my guess is he was playing craps with a couple of serious guys
05:22Who wondering why he was winning so much they figured out he was cheating he popped those dice in his mouth and swallowed real hard
05:29Bet you they're loaded. I bet you're right
05:35Yeah, can they borrow you for an hour yeah, well police department needs your medical advice so mr.
05:40Miller he just went himself a round trip to surgery
05:46I've never seen an actual
05:48Undercover surveillance before who you watching Bruno Crespi. It's one of the mobs busiest contract killers
05:53I almost nailed him last year for a hit or a mob boss, but we couldn't come up with enough hard evidence
05:59You've been on this for a year now. No 11 months ago. Bruno disappeared. No trace. No leads nothing
06:07Then last week I get a anonymous tip that he's on a freighter out of Malaysia due to dock in LA yesterday afternoon
06:14Sure enough he
06:16Disembarks, and then he gets a phone call on a public telephone. Were you able to trace the call?
06:20Well, I was an incoming call. So no
06:23Anyway, then he goes to that hotel. He checks in. He's been there ever since go ahead. Take a look. I
06:30Won't get a black guy when I do this. Well, I step just take a look. Well, yeah
06:35Crespi's been acting weird all morning. Can't sit still
06:37In about a half an hour ago, he calls a local pharmacy a
06:41Spengler's drugs and orders a refill on a standing prescription of what we don't know. Hmm
06:52What do you think is he looks sick I
06:55Can't diagnose a man through a telescope
06:58Dad, you have to I get a hunch Crespi's gonna lead us to whoever hired him to kill Danny Baylor
07:03Drops dead the only thing he's gonna leave us to is the morgue
07:06Well, you're right
07:08He's agitated a shortness of breath
07:13Wait, but there's somebody at the door. Let me see
07:19It's a bellboy, it's some kind of paper bag
07:28What's that look like
07:31What does it look like
07:38That looks like a syringe kit and some kind of medication
07:52Epinephrine
07:54How do you know that?
07:56Well, first of all, the man has asthma there's no doubt about that it's got all the symptoms
08:01shortness of breath and restlessness
08:03wheezing
08:05tightness in the neck and
08:06With the exception of insulin one of the few medicines that a doctor will let you inject yourself is epinephrine. What is that?
08:12It's an adrenergic bronchodilator a common prescription for asthma
08:17And your friend Crespi over there has a severe case. Is he gonna be all right?
08:22If he has a standing prescription, he probably has it under control
08:27All right. Well, thanks dad. You're welcome. We all for dinner. Sure. I'm gonna come back here and have a sandwich
08:33This is where I live until our boy Bruno makes a move. Well, it's neater than your apartment. Oh dad
08:39You may want to wipe off that little black circle on your eye. You didn't
08:45Got you
08:47Call me if there's a change. Okay. See you
08:52Another day of this and I'm gonna go stir-crazy. Hey, what's happening with Bruno? Let me see
09:12He's in trouble
09:21Damn
09:25Get over there find a hotel manager. I'm on Bruno's room key right now
09:30You know, I am really looking forward to this party
09:33Mark, it sounds as though you enjoy your senior life sing-alongs just as much as our patients do. Of course he does
09:38He makes the music
09:40Come on, which song are you and D singing this year?
09:42We're doing the best I can. I don't even know what I'm singing. I don't even know what I'm doing
09:46I don't even know what I'm doing. I don't even know what I'm doing
09:49Mark what song are you and D singing this year? We're doing the bell song from Lock Me this year. Say what? I'm kidding
09:55You know, I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter. I think I can handle that. Handle it.
09:59I can sing it six ways in a Sunday. Yeah, and you don't mess it up too badly yourself. All right
10:04So we've selected the music. Do we rent a piano? Yes, I already did. It'll be here today. Great
10:09Now is everybody on the list been contacted?
10:15Well everyone except for Norman Briggs
10:19Mark we were thinking that
10:21Running a hospital is such a such a tough and demanding job that
10:25Norman should just go home and go to bed when he's done. Yeah, and this party will probably go way past his bedtime
10:32You know like seven or eight o'clock
10:34What's the problem?
10:36Well, Mark, you know last year at the party Norman Briggs insisted on reciting the rhyme of the ancient Mariner
10:44104 verses. Yeah, and he put the senior life citizens to sleep. We couldn't even wake him up to give him dessert
10:50So if that's the kind of party you want then we can arrange that. I know you're something you're right
10:53Norman has been looking very tired lately and I think it's our job to see that he gets his rest.
11:00Hello? Hi Steve. Oh
11:05Be right there. We've got a change in Crespi's condition. Gotta go. Yeah, Mark, take this for road. Oh, okay. My favorite.
11:11Come on, don't touch my food.
11:15Maria, you can do that later.
11:30Steve, get that man out of here. Outside, please.
11:38What's wrong with him? That's not asthma.
11:41Call the health department. Tell them we have a potential class 1 health emergency. Put a man on all of your exits.
11:46This hotel's quarantined. No one in, no one out.
11:49Steal all the exits and get to county over here fast.
11:54What is it, Dad? What's he got? Well, I hope I'm wrong, but if I'm not, he has the plague.
12:01Tell the medic and the puny general I want him on IV streptomycin, 0.5 grams every three hours, and have him run up a culture.
12:08I want to see if it's gone septicemia.
12:20I thought the plague died out in the Middle Ages. It doesn't die out, Steve. It just goes away for a while.
12:25Hey, that's odd. I didn't think the maid had been in the room.
12:29Sergeant Slump? I'll be right back.
12:35Hey! Hey, wait a minute with that stuff. Steve?
12:38Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho. I'm Dr. Kniff, and I'm head of the Metropolitan Health Emergency Task Force. Is there a problem?
12:43Yes, those people are taking evidence. They're removing evidence? So who are you?
12:46I am Dr. Slump, and I'm head of the Metropolitan Health Emergency Task Force.
12:50Yes, those people are taking evidence. They're removing evidence? So who are you?
12:54I am Dr. Sloan. Oh, you're Dr. Sloan.
12:57Oh, you're the one who made the first diagnosis? That's right.
13:00Good job, doctor. Good job. Listen, send me a written report, will you?
13:04Let's go.
13:06...1717, I want to send back frequency to a crack.
13:10Doctor, doctor, doctor.
13:12Doctor, can you listen to me?
13:15Okay, okay. All right. The patient is under quarantine right here at Community General.
13:21My team is tracking this case, and we are maintaining a real-time computer uplink with CDC in Atlanta.
13:27Is there any chance this plague outbreak could turn into an epidemic?
13:30There is always great danger.
13:32Excuse me. Excuse me just a moment. I doubt that that's likely.
13:36The hotel guests and the staff were examined and all given a clean bill of health,
13:40and Crespi himself wasn't close enough to anyone to ever infect them.
13:43Now, this is Dr. Sloan, who is an internist and not an epidemiologist.
13:48Excuse us, Dr. Sloan. Right this way, please.
13:51Sloan.
13:53You didn't say plague, did you?
13:56You did?
13:58Yeah, I said plague, Norman.
13:59Oh, my God, where?
14:01106.
14:02What should we do? Should we wear masks? Are we quarantined? Do we all have to sleep here?
14:06Calm down. You're perfectly safe.
14:08No, I'm talking the plague. The plague has killed thousands, millions of people.
14:12That's right, but that was long before antibiotics started.
14:15Oh. Does he mean, um, I can't catch it?
14:19Oh, you can still catch it, of course.
14:21Good. I'm getting a mask. Here, use this.
14:23I'll have another report, another update for you a little later on this afternoon when we know more.
14:28Thank you all very much.
14:30This guy really knows how to talk in sound bites and work the press, doesn't he?
14:33Now I gotta go.
14:35What about your investigation?
14:37As long as Bruno Crespi's unconscious and under quarantine, my investigation is officially on hold.
14:41Wait just a minute.
14:43Dr. Levin?
14:45Well, I'm on my way down to the harbor to meet customs officials.
14:47We've impounded the freighter Crespi arrived on.
14:50It is probably infested with rats carrying plague-infected fleas.
14:54I don't think he got the plague on that boat.
14:56Where did he catch it? His hotel room?
14:58I think he did.
14:59What are we talking about?
15:00When Steve and I got to Crespi's room, there was a hotel maid waiting to turn down the bed.
15:06The bed was already turned down.
15:08Meaning what?
15:09Meaning someone impersonating a hotel maid was in Crespi's room before we got there.
15:13What does this have to do with Mr. Crespi's illness?
15:16I'm getting to that.
15:17Two days ago, I saw a bellhop deliver a fresh bottle of epinephrine to Crespi.
15:21Now the bottle that I saw in that room was full.
15:25So?
15:26So, the maid must have switched the bottles.
15:29To get rid of the evidence.
15:31Doctor, I believe that original bottle of epinephrine was contaminated.
15:35I believe there was a locus of infection on Crespi's arm.
15:38I believe he unwittingly injected himself with Yersinia pestis, bubonic plague.
15:45You're not serious.
15:46Bruno Crespi was a hitman with enemies.
15:48One of them decided to kill him with the plague.
15:51Bizarre.
15:53Bizarre is an understatement.
15:56Now, Dr. Sloan, I admire your imagination,
15:59but Bruno Crespi had just arrived on a boat from Southeast Asia.
16:02It is undoubtedly infested with rats.
16:05I don't have time for this.
16:09We have to do something.
16:11Somebody is capable of giving people the plague.
16:13Now, what we have here is a protocol problem.
16:15Public health has taken over the case,
16:17and they bagged any evidence that might have been in Bruno's room.
16:20Till they release it, or Bruno regains consciousness, my hands are tied.
16:24I'm gonna look into it anyway.
16:26So am I. Unofficially.
16:29I don't understand.
16:31You tried to tell Nevin how Crespi got the plague.
16:33Why wouldn't he listen?
16:35He's too busy grandstanding for the press.
16:37We've got to find a way to prove it.
16:39So what can we do to help?
16:41Go to Spengler's Pharmacy.
16:43That's where Crespi had his epinephrine prescription filled.
16:45See what you can find out.
16:47If the bottle was contaminated,
16:49maybe somebody at the pharmacy tampered with it.
16:51We'll check it.
16:53What do you know about Bruno Crespi?
16:55Steve didn't tell me much. Why?
16:57The name rang a bell,
16:59so I called my cousin Eddie,
17:01who used to run numbers for the Baylor family.
17:03Turns out Bruno Crespi was their main enforcer.
17:06And Danny Baylor was killed last year.
17:08Who's Danny Baylor?
17:10Danny Baylor was the Baylor family prince
17:12who was supposed to take over the family business
17:14after the old man died.
17:16But somebody got to him first.
17:18If Bruno killed Danny Baylor,
17:20maybe somebody close to Danny
17:22tried to kill Bruno for revenge.
17:24And that somebody had access
17:26to bubonic plague bacteria.
17:28Did Danny Baylor have a widow?
17:30He had a widow,
17:32a sister,
17:34and a wicked stepmother.
17:36Three tough broads.
17:38Tell me about the Baylors.
17:54Hello. I'm Dr. Sloan.
17:56I'm here to see Charlene Baylor.
17:58She's expecting you, Doctor.
18:00She is?
18:12Mrs. Baylor?
18:14The doctor's here.
18:16Oh, thanks, Ellen.
18:18See what's keeping Tony.
18:20He's a good doctor.
18:22Mrs. Baylor?
18:24Glad you could come, Doctor.
18:26My butt is killing me.
18:28Here, take a look.
18:30Pardon?
18:32Oh, that's a nice butterfly.
18:34Thanks.
18:36What seems to be the problem?
18:38Well, I just had it done yesterday,
18:40and I think it's infected.
18:42Oh, I see.
18:44I tell you, it's hard to find
18:46an inflammation on a red butterfly.
18:48Maybe it's the flu.
18:50May I?
18:52Go ahead. Poke it.
18:54Well, let's see.
18:56Left wing seems all right.
18:58Mm-hmm.
19:00Right wing's okay.
19:02Tail's okay.
19:04Uh-huh.
19:06Ow!
19:08Yeah, there's a hard lump
19:10right there under the antenna.
19:12What the hell are you doing?
19:14I'm a doctor.
19:16I thought you called Dr. Robinson.
19:18He couldn't make it,
19:20so he sent his associate.
19:22This is my boyfriend Tony, Dr. Kramer.
19:24Well, actually, I'm not Dr. Kramer.
19:26So why are you looking at Charlene's butt?
19:28You've got some nerve!
19:30Well, actually, I am a doctor.
19:32I'm a medical advisor to the police department.
19:34What's this about?
19:36This morning,
19:38someone tried to kill Bruno Crespi.
19:40Bruno?
19:42I thought he left the country.
19:44Well, he's back.
19:46The police think Bruno killed your husband?
19:48And you think I tried
19:50to kill Bruno for revenge?
19:52Well, see what happened this morning.
19:54A woman, disguised as a maid,
19:56sneaked into his hotel room
19:58and tampered with his medication.
20:02Where were you this morning?
20:04I was right here with Tony.
20:06No offense,
20:08but Tony's not much of an alibi.
20:10I said I was with Tony.
20:12If you want to check alibis,
20:14Dr. Sloan,
20:16I suggest you talk to Danny's stepmother, Regina.
20:18Tony, make him go away.
20:20I'll make myself go away.
20:22If I were you,
20:24I'd have that butterfly lance.
20:26You know, an infection there
20:28can give you real pain in the crotch.
20:30Thank you very much.
20:34Crespi. Bruno Crespi.
20:36Ah, here we go.
20:38Epinephrine. It's a standing prescription.
20:40Did you fill it?
20:42No. Mr. Spangler took care of it himself.
20:44Oh. Is Mr. Spangler here?
20:46If so, we'd like to talk to him.
20:48No. I mean, he's at the warehouse today.
20:50Mr. Spangler also owns an import business.
20:52No kidding. What's the address?
20:54Do you have it?
20:56It's on the docks. I'll go get it for you.
21:00You go back to the hospital. I'll check this out.
21:02What do you mean? I'm not going with you?
21:04It's the docks, Amanda.
21:06Yeah, and your point is?
21:08My point is that the guys down there,
21:10Jack, my father owns a yacht.
21:12I've been around sailors
21:14my entire life.
21:16That's really funny.
21:18Amanda, you see,
21:20the sailors that you're used to,
21:22they wear white pants and a cap,
21:24and they call their wives Buffy.
21:26These guys are longshoremen
21:28who drink beer for breakfast and consider
21:30ballroom brawling an indoor sport.
21:32You're not going.
21:34You're so sweet. You're worried about me.
21:36Don't pinch me. Here you go.
21:38Thank you. Great.
21:40Amanda, give me the paper.
21:53Hey, you.
21:55Aren't you Steve Sloan's old man?
21:57You know Steve?
21:59Yeah, sure.
22:01I saw your picture in his office the day he busted me.
22:03Busted?
22:05Hey, guys.
22:07Hey.
22:09Look who's here.
22:11It's Steve Sloan's old man, the Doc.
22:13Hi.
22:15You know how many of these guys
22:17your kid busted?
22:19Well, you know, Steve's a cop.
22:21Cops bust.
22:23You know he's meeting me here in just a few minutes right now.
22:25Hey, Doc.
22:27Do I hear Siren?
22:29Your son.
22:31He's a good guy.
22:33He is?
22:35I understand.
22:37If Steve plays fair, you've got to respect that.
22:39Right, guys?
22:41Okay.
22:43So, you want to see Regina?
22:45Yes, I do.
22:47I'll take you to her tomorrow.
22:49I heard about Bruno on the news.
22:51How is he?
22:53Very, very sick.
22:55Miss Baylor, the police think Bruno Crespi
22:57killed your stepson.
22:59So do I.
23:01Well, then, wouldn't you have a very good motive
23:03Someone tried to kill Bruno.
23:05I thought he was sick
23:07with the plague.
23:09He is, but someone deliberately switched the bacteria
23:11for his medication sometime this morning.
23:13This morning, I was right here
23:15attending to business.
23:17Do you have any witnesses for that?
23:19Them.
23:21Your employees?
23:23They might work for me, Dr. Sloan,
23:25but that doesn't mean they're lying.
23:27Wasn't your stepson, Danny Baylor,
23:29supposed to take over the business?
23:31But then you did,
23:33after Danny was murdered.
23:35Now you run this whole empire.
23:37Are you suggesting I had my own stepson killed?
23:39Did you?
23:41That's ridiculous.
23:45If you're looking for
23:47someone who hated Bruno,
23:49why don't you go talk to Jennifer,
23:51Danny's sister?
23:53She and Bruno used to be lovers.
23:55Bruno Crespi
23:57and Danny's sister?
23:59When Bruno killed Danny
24:01and dumped Jennifer,
24:03poor Jennifer went ballistic.
24:05My stepdaughter's
24:07very high-strung, Doctor.
24:09Capable of anything.
24:19Is that Spengler?
24:21Yeah, I think so.
24:23It doesn't make sense.
24:25What the hell is a local pharmacist doing
24:27I don't know, maybe he's fronting for somebody.
24:29Yeah.
24:31Hold on a second.
24:37I'm gonna find out who he's talking to.
24:39You wait here.
24:43It's like talking to myself.
24:46Hey!
24:50What is she doing?
24:57Yeah,
24:59it's me.
25:01I did my part, okay?
25:03Now I want what you owe me tonight
25:05or the next person who's gonna get sick
25:07is gonna be you.
25:09If you close at 6, be there at 6.15
25:11and bring the money.
25:17Hey, Jack, are you thinking what I'm thinking?
25:19I think we should be back at 6.
25:21Hey, Jack, are you thinking what I'm thinking?
25:25I think we should be back at 6.
25:27I told you it wasn't too rough for me down here.
25:41So I was wrong.
25:43So as you can see, Dr. Sloan,
25:45I have my own life and my own business.
25:47I'm not involved with my family any longer,
25:49particularly my stepmother and sister-in-law.
25:51Ah, there you are.
25:53Come here.
25:55Come on.
25:57How do you feel about your brother, Danny?
25:59Danny?
26:01Uh, Danny was in a mob like my father.
26:03People in the mob get sick,
26:05they get sick,
26:07they get sick,
26:09they get sick,
26:11they get sick.
26:13You know, I did a little research
26:15before I came over here,
26:17and I find out you're not quite as disinterested
26:19in your family as you say.
26:21According to probate court records,
26:23you claim that your brother
26:25and your stepmother conspired with each other
26:27to cheat you out of your share
26:29of your father's inheritance,
26:31and you lost the case.
26:33And since then, I've had nothing to do with any of them.
26:35You sound a little bitter.
26:37Well, wouldn't you be?
26:39My stepfather cheated me.
26:41When I found out that he was dead, I celebrated.
26:43Did you feel the same way about Bruno Crusty?
26:45Now, why would I be angry at Bruno?
26:47Your stepmother said that you and Bruno
26:49used to be lovers.
26:51Yeah, well, Regina's a bitch.
26:55Was she?
26:57Bubbles, come on now, Bubbles.
26:59What are you doing up there?
27:01Come on, Bubbles.
27:03Give the man back his glasses.
27:05Hey, give me those back.
27:07What happened when Bruno dropped you?
27:09Look, I had made a mistake.
27:11I thought Bruno loved me.
27:13I mean, look, he even bought me this ring.
27:15Bubbles.
27:17Bubbles, give me that ring.
27:19Come on, Bubbles.
27:21I'm sorry. Just a moment.
27:23Bubbles, come on now.
27:25Give me the ring.
27:27Bruno only romanced me
27:29so that he could get close to Danny
27:31in order to kill him.
27:33Then he dumped me and ran.
27:36I'm sorry, Bubbles.
27:38I'm sorry.
27:40I'm sorry.
27:42I'm sorry.
27:44I'm sorry.
27:46I'm sorry.
27:48I'm sorry.
27:50I'm sorry.
27:52I'm sorry.
27:54I'm sorry.
27:56I'm sorry.
27:58I'm sorry.
28:00I'm sorry.
28:02I'm sorry.
28:04Oh, yeah, about 100 animals.
28:06I doubt they'd do you much good
28:08on the witness, Ken.
28:10All right, thank you very much, Jennifer.
28:12Bye, fellas.
28:18Okay, see you then.
28:20Bye.
28:22Nico, a moment.
28:24Hi, Norman.
28:26There you go.
28:28Why, thank you.
28:30How are you?
28:32How shall I put this?
28:34Just put it.
28:36Dr. Niven wants you to butt out of his press conferences.
28:38Norman, was I supposed to stand there
28:40and let him tell those reporters
28:42that a bubonic plague was about to sweep down on the city?
28:44Of course not, Mark.
28:46No.
28:48Is it?
28:50No, of course not.
28:52And you can tell Dr. Niven for me that he can keep his spotlight.
28:54I am not interested in press conferences.
28:56Thank you, amigo.
28:58I knew I could count on you.
29:00I think I'll ask maintenance
29:02to clean with double-strength disinfectant.
29:04That's good.
29:06Why, you think we need it?
29:08No, but if it makes you feel more comfortable,
29:10go ahead and scrub away.
29:12By the way, um,
29:14there's a piano in the recreation room.
29:16Where did it come from?
29:18Piano? Beats me, Norman.
29:20I'll check into it for you.
29:22Thank you, Mark.
29:24If you need me, I'll be in maintenance.
29:26Good.
29:28Enjoy your coffee.
29:38I'm sorry,
29:40this patient is under quarantine.
29:42That's all right, I'm his doctor.
29:44Not anymore.
29:46What?
29:48Dr. Niven's taking over the case.
29:50You have to be joking.
29:52Oh, thank you.
29:54Dr. Niven, why did you take me off this case?
29:56I'm sorry.
29:58After all, we're dealing with bubonic plague.
30:00I know what we're dealing with.
30:02I diagnosed it.
30:04Oh, excuse me.
30:06Another press conference?
30:08Yes, it's my job to keep the public informed.
30:10What is that, a spacesuit?
30:12Aren't you overacting just a little bit?
30:14We're talking epidemic potential.
30:16What epidemic?
30:18Have you seen one other instance of the plague
30:20anywhere here, the hotel, the boat he arrived on?
30:22Not yet.
30:24I resent that.
30:26Doctor, you know perfectly well
30:28that bubonic plague is treatable with antibiotics.
30:30And unless it turns pneumatic,
30:32it's not that transmittable human to human.
30:34None of this is necessary.
30:36That is for me to say.
30:42How are you all?
30:44Dr. Niven, Metropolitan Health Emergency.
30:46Excuse me, have there been any other cases reported
30:48besides this one?
30:50Somebody hired Bruno Crespi to kill Danny Baylor,
30:52then paid him to leave town.
30:54When Crespi came back,
30:56that same person tried to kill him.
30:58Probable motive, blackmail.
31:00We have three suspects.
31:02First of all is Charlene Baylor, his wife.
31:04She wanted his insurance money.
31:06Regina, Danny's stepmother,
31:08she wanted the family business.
31:10And his sister, Jennifer,
31:12who really hated Danny
31:14for stealing her half of the inheritance.
31:16Talk about a dysfunctional family.
31:18They must have a ball at Thanksgiving.
31:20You saw Pharmacist Spengler
31:22setting up a meeting with whoever hired him, didn't you?
31:24Yeah, 615, down at the docks.
31:26He can make that pretty easily.
31:28Wait a minute, I have an autopsy.
31:30I'm off. I'll meet you out front, Ma.
31:32We'll tell you all about it later.
31:34How come I miss all the good stuff?
31:36Well, that's the way the ball bounces.
31:38Well, be careful.
31:46Spengler said he'd leave the door open.
31:48So where is he?
32:00Listen.
32:02Over there.
32:14I know that voice.
32:16I know that voice.
32:18Who is it?
32:20Dr. Niven.
32:22...rapidly shows blood specks
32:24and then becomes uniformly pink, bright red...
32:26...several days later...
32:28...signs of consolidation
32:30are rapid
32:32and Braille's may be absent.
32:34Chest X-rays show a rapid
32:36progression of pneumonia.
32:38Most untreated patients die
32:40within a 48-hour period
32:42after the onset of symptoms,
32:44which is why we are remaining
32:46in constant communication
32:48with all state and national
32:50health care control centers,
32:52coordinating our data
32:54and tracking the progress
32:56of this plague outbreak
32:58for epidemic potential.
33:04You said Spengler was an
33:06importer of this cocaine.
33:10It's Spengler.
33:12He's been shot.
33:14Is he breathing?
33:16No, he's dead.
33:20Call 911.
33:34Here's our plague bacteria.
33:38I don't get it.
33:40I think I do.
33:42This is a blood sample
33:44from the university research lab
33:46taken from a lab rat.
33:48Yeah, there's been a shooting
33:50at 310 Pier. Thanks.
33:52They've been doing research
33:54on infectious diseases.
33:56Including bubonic plague.
33:58Spengler either hired somebody
34:00to break in or broke in himself
34:02and took this sample from an infected rat.
34:04Takes two weeks to culture the bacteria.
34:06So whoever hired Spengler
34:08knew that Bruno Crespi
34:10was coming back.
34:12Spengler provided the bacteria
34:14that killed Bruno.
34:16Look at this, Jack.
34:18Looks like our killer took off
34:20with some packets of antibiotic.
34:22That makes sense.
34:24The killer knew they'd been
34:26exposed to the plague.
34:28What's the wrong antibiotic
34:30that won't cure the plague?
34:32Our killer is in trouble.
34:38Spengler!
34:40Hold this.
34:42I'll stall him. You call Steve.
34:44Mark! Mark!
34:46Wait a minute.
34:50Hi, there.
34:52Where's Spengler?
34:54Out flat on his back.
34:56What, like sick?
34:58Well, he's been better.
35:00It's not contagious?
35:02No. What he has, no.
35:04Spengler was holding on.
35:06Spengler was holding
35:08something for me. You know about that?
35:10Should I?
35:12You work for Spengler, right?
35:14Yeah, of course.
35:16What exactly do I get for my money?
35:18You get exactly what you pay for.
35:20How much is that?
35:22Whatever the market will bear.
35:24When do I get delivery?
35:26When can you make payment?
35:28When we decide how much.
35:30How much you want?
35:32As much as you got.
35:34Maybe you better come back
35:36when you make up your mind.
35:38Where are the police?
35:40They're here.
35:42Game's over, wise guy. DEA.
35:44Bust him!
35:46What?
35:48You're under arrest for trafficking in narcotics.
35:50You have the right to remain silent.
35:52If you give up the right to remain silent,
35:54anything you say can and will be used against you
35:56in a court of law.
35:58Son!
36:00Hey! Steve!
36:02My best friend in the whole world.
36:06I've never seen these two guys before in my life.
36:12Let them go.
36:16Sergeant Sloan tells me
36:18you do a lot of undercover work for the police.
36:20You did?
36:22I also told him that the police
36:24don't do undercover work.
36:26And you didn't know this guy was a cop?
36:28I thought he was a gangster,
36:30and I thought I was dead.
36:34What'd you find out about Spengler, Dr. Sloan?
36:36Someone paid him to contaminate
36:38Bruno Crespi's asthma medication
36:40with bubonic plague.
36:42Whoever it was got here before we did,
36:44shot him.
36:46When you investigated Spengler,
36:48did you find any connection at all
36:50between his operation and the Baylor crime family?
36:52No.
36:54Not directly, no,
36:56but we're pretty sure
36:58that Spengler's business was run by the Baylors.
37:00Which means that any one
37:02of the Baylor women would have known Spengler
37:04or might have made a deal with him.
37:06So that puts us back at square one.
37:08Until Bruno Crespi recovers enough
37:10to tell us who hired him to kill Danny Baylor.
37:12And if that Dr. Niven are yours,
37:14we'll let us get near him.
37:16I can't wait till Niven finds out
37:18that you were right about how Crespi got the plague.
37:20That's the news conference I want to see.
37:22And thanks to the prompt intervention
37:24from the Metropolitan Health Emergency Task Force,
37:26I am pleased to say
37:28that our effective action
37:30has eliminated the fear
37:32of an epidemiological outbreak.
37:34This guy makes me sick.
37:36He'll start kissing himself in a minute.
37:38Mr. Bates.
37:40Amigo, I just came from a hospital board meeting
37:42and the consensus is
37:44this whole plague incident
37:46turned out to be great publicity for Community General.
37:48Good news, Norman.
37:50Mark Sloan.
37:52Hi, Steve.
37:54I mean, who wouldn't want to come to a hospital
37:56that handles a major medical crisis
37:58with such calmness and control?
38:00Mr. Briggs, you can lose the mask now.
38:02Where?
38:04Well, I can come right now if you want.
38:06All right, be right there.
38:08Steve's found some kind of evidence
38:10in the safe at Spengler's warehouse.
38:12He wants me to see it right away.
38:14Well, I'm off duty. I'll go with you.
38:16Uh, no, Amanda, I think you should stay here
38:18and stand by at the hospital.
38:20Right.
38:24Oh, beep me
38:26if there's any change in Bruno Crespi's condition.
38:28Sure thing.
38:32And the patient, Bruno Crespi,
38:34is on the road to full recovery.
38:36He is expected to regain consciousness any time.
38:38And we wish to thank the public
38:40and assure everyone
38:42that the task force will continue
38:44its vigilance in public matters.
38:46This is Dr. Niven
38:48for the task force.
39:16Dr. Rosen,
39:18please dial 8-8 tomorrow.
39:20Dr. Rosen, please dial 8-8.
39:26Let's go.
39:28Let me go!
39:30I'm afraid I can't do that.
39:32What is this?
39:34A free check-up.
39:36You might have to play.
39:38I'm not sick, all right?
39:40I just came here to tell Bruno
39:42what allowed me to do.
39:44Open your mouth.
39:46Say ah.
39:50Say ah.
39:52Ah.
39:55Say ah.
39:57Ah.
40:25Regina Baylor.
40:27Dr. Sloan.
40:31Where's Bruno?
40:33Somewhere safe.
40:35I should have known
40:37the hallway was too quiet.
40:39You set me up,
40:41didn't you?
40:43The same way you set up Bruno.
40:45I'm sorry.
40:47I'm sorry.
40:49I'm sorry.
40:51I'm sorry.
40:53The same way you set up Bruno
40:55when you switched his medication.
40:57I had it all worked out.
40:59I thought it was perfect.
41:01I thought Bruno would...
41:09I...
41:11I didn't count on you doctors saving him.
41:13That's what doctors do.
41:17Then you had to kill Spengler
41:19because you were afraid he might talk.
41:21I...
41:23made a mistake.
41:25It was...
41:27fatal.
41:29For him and very likely for you, too.
41:31Regina, that antibiotic
41:33you took from Spengler's office
41:35will not cure the plague.
41:37It was the wrong medication.
41:39What do you mean?
41:41You have the plague, Regina.
41:43You must have caught it
41:45when you took the syringe
41:47from Bruno's hotel room.
41:49It's too late.
41:51You're lying!
41:53You're coughing. You're sweating.
41:55You're dying, Regina.
41:57It's a trick.
41:59You need help.
42:01Jennifer's okay.
42:09It's over, Regina.
42:11You're under arrest.
42:13In a moment, Steve.
42:15Right now, she's my patient.
42:17You're lucky, Regina.
42:19You'll probably recover.
42:21And then what?
42:23Then you'll stand trial
42:25for the murder of Victor Spengler
42:27and the attempted murder of Bruno Crespi
42:29and for hiring Crespi
42:31to kill your stepson.
42:35Makes having the plague
42:37seem like a picnic, doesn't it?
42:39Okay, ladies and gentlemen.
42:41Ladies and gentlemen of the press,
42:43in the case of Bruno Crespi...
42:45Bruno Crespi tried to kill you.
42:47Uh, threatened.
42:49How does it feel to be a hero, doc?
42:51Well, I'm pleased to be real heroes here,
42:53but, you know, since you ask,
42:55I first suspected that Bruno
42:57had been deliberately injected
42:59when I found that one of the epinephrine bottles
43:01was still full.
43:03Can you tell me how you discovered that?
43:05It was a locus of infection
43:07that could only have come from the bubonic plague.
43:09Why didn't you tell us what you were doing?
43:11I'm sorry, guys.
43:13When Norman came in, you know he can't keep a secret.
43:15He's got a big mouth.
43:17Oh, hi, Mr. B.
43:19Last night, you had Bruno Crespi
43:21moved into my office.
43:23Norman did for a couple of hours. I had to hide him.
43:25You know what this means, Sloan.
43:27I have to have my whole office disinfected.
43:29No, repainted, and all my furniture replaced
43:31and my plants.
43:33Mr. B, Bruno is fine.
43:35He's not contagious anymore.
43:37Relax.
43:39That's easy for you to say.
43:41He's a plague victim.
43:43Sloan, how do I look? I feel nauseous.
43:45Get some fresh air, Norman.
43:47Where?
43:51That's a man who handles
43:53crisis with calm and control?
43:55No, that's a man
43:57who just found a good excuse
43:59to have his office redecorated.
44:05Very good.
44:07Before we wrap this up,
44:09how about one more?
44:11Of course.
44:13Fine with me.
44:18I'm gonna sit right down
44:20and write myself a letter
44:22and make believe
44:24it came from you.
44:26Ooh,
44:28I'm gonna write words so, so sweet.
44:30They're gonna knock me off my feet.
44:32A lot of kisses on the bottom
44:34and I'll be glad I got them.
44:36I'm gonna smile and say
44:38I hope you're feeling better.
44:40Then I'll close
44:42with love the way you do.
44:44I'm gonna sit right down
44:46and write myself a letter
44:48and make believe
44:50it came from you.
44:57Why'd you stop?
44:59Hit it, maestro.
45:03I'm gonna smile and say
45:05I hope you're feeling better.
45:07Then I'll close
45:09with love the way you do.
45:12I'm gonna sit right down
45:14and write myself a letter
45:18and make believe
45:20it came from you.
45:22And make believe
45:24it came from you.
45:26And make believe
45:28it came from you.
45:32Yeah!
45:37Hey, hey, hey!
