01:05Her heart's in my hands.
01:15Live, damn it.
01:16Live.
01:18Live.
01:20God.
01:21Who said that?
01:24I didn't say that.
01:25Who said that?
01:27Uh, me.
01:32What do you think you're doing?
01:34Well, you're shooting this television series for real, isn't it, Marcia?
01:38What does that have to do with interrupting the human drama of my scene?
01:41Well, for one thing, a doctor would be wearing a shirt, and as a matter of fact, so would the patient.
01:45My character isn't here to look good.
01:47He's here to save lives.
01:49Exactly.
01:50Which is what we should be doing, Dr. Sloan, and let these fine young thespians ply their craft.
01:54Carry on.
01:54Would you let me go without a shirt?
02:08Bye.
02:08Bye.
02:09Bye.
02:10Bye.
02:11Bye.
03:16Good.
03:17Then you'll stay out of their way?
03:18Completely.
03:19Oh, yeah.
03:21Yeah, those are definitely ventricular extrasystoles.
03:25Yeah, it could be a carcinoma of the larynx.
03:28Excuse me.
03:29We need to talk.
03:30Excuse me.
03:31I haven't met you for a consultation.
03:32Won't be a moment.
03:33Mark, it's so great to see you again.
03:35How long has it been?
03:36Ten years?
03:37Why, oh.
03:38What are you doing masquerading as a doctor?
03:40I am a doctor, again.
03:42I'm chief of surgery on the new healers.
03:43Yeah, I was just prancing my bedside manner.
03:46You can't examine patients.
03:47You're an actor, not a doctor.
03:49Yeah, you try telling that to the Legion of Calling Dr. Gale fans.
03:53They would gladly put their lives in my hands.
03:56Well, just because you play a doctor doesn't mean you are one.
03:59Mark, listen.
04:00Those five years I starred on calling Dr. Gale, they were as good as any medical school.
04:05Better because of you, the best medical consultant in the biz.
04:09You told that man you saw ventricular extrasystoles in his throat.
04:13Yeah.
04:14Well, I tried to break it to him as gently as I could, but, you know, I felt I had to be honest with him.
04:18Ventricular extrasystoles are in the heart, Lyle.
04:23Right.
04:24That's why it's so dangerous when you find them in the throat.
04:28Mark, wasn't that Dr. Adam Gale?
04:38No, it wasn't.
04:39It was Lyle Fairbanks, the actor.
04:41Look, would you go call the young man at exam three?
04:44He has a mild case of tonsillitis and an acute case of panic.
04:47Hey, what's the holdup right there?
04:48Sorry, Dr. Stewart, this register's jammed again.
05:02Dr. Stewart?
05:03Yeah?
05:04That'll be $5.08.
05:05All right, now, just do me a favor, will you?
05:07Whatever that ethereal creature over there wants is on me, okay?
05:09You'll get the change from me later.
05:10Then tell Mr. Briggs to get your new register.
05:15Jack.
05:16Jack, guess who's here at Community General?
05:17Who?
05:18Dr. Adam Gale.
05:19Really?
05:20You kidding me?
05:21That's amazing.
05:22I mean, I gotta tell you, finding a doctor in a hospital.
05:24No, Adam Gale.
05:25From calling Dr. Gale?
05:26I never missed an episode.
05:27I wanted to be just like him, and you may laugh, but that show was one of my inspirations
05:31for wanting to become a doctor.
05:32Well, I'll laugh later.
05:33Right now, I'm saving this table for Marcus Wellbe and Dr. Killing and Dr. David.
05:36I was a doctor with the doctor.
05:37Yeah.
05:38I'm gonna call it a doctor.
05:39It's a doctor with the doctor.
05:40It's a doctor in a hospital.
05:41I'm gonna call it a doctor.
05:42It's a doctor, I'm gonna call it a doctor.
05:43It's a doctor.
05:44It's a doctor.
05:45It's a doctor.
05:46You're gonna call it a doctor.
05:47It's a doctor that's a doctor.
05:48It's a doctor.
05:49It's a doctor.
05:50Right now, I'm saving this table for Marcus Welby and Dr. Kildare
05:54so I can get the help out of you.
05:55Oh, really?
05:56We'll see if I ever share a heartfelt, emotional moment with you again.
05:59Mm.
06:12Yeah, it's about time you got here.
06:15I missed you, too. And the $15.08 you owe me?
06:19Ellen, I gave you a 20.
06:21The ethereal creature spent 30.
06:29It's no great loss, hon.
06:30The ones who could eat their body weight are nothing but trouble.
06:35What'd you say, 15?
06:36Mm-hmm.
06:37No weight?
06:38Unbelievable.
06:39There you go. Here's $16.
06:41You could buy yourself a cigar, so...
06:45Hey, look, man, I apologize. I had no idea she was with you, all right?
06:49Mm-hmm.
06:52I know what it's like to spend 48 hours on your feet desperately trying to save the mangled remains of what was once a human being.
07:00Yeah, I learned a lot on that guest spot on nurses.
07:02You know, I really hope for man to say that you're not Dr. Adam Gale.
07:07Link in Cutter.
07:09Yeah, that Link in Cutter.
07:12But you can call me Link. I have great respect for healers.
07:16Even healers that, uh, hit on your girlfriend?
07:18My girlfriend?
07:22That?
07:24Day player?
07:25Nothing. Nobody.
07:27Oh, really?
07:29Well, then, Link, if you'll...
07:31Excuse me.
07:32Come on, Mr. Barnes.
07:33Wait a second. I'm not done eating yet.
07:34We need you on the set.
07:36Yeah, we need you now. Thank you.
07:56Look what you've done.
07:57What?
07:59Your rust bucket is leaking oil. Look at those drops.
08:01Well, I haven't got my electron microscope. I'll take your word for it.
08:04I'll have the, uh, mechanic check it, Norman. Thanks.
08:07Wait. You're not going to leave it here, are you?
08:09Your car is hemorrhaging buckets of oil all over the pavement.
08:12Norman, this is a parking lot.
08:13It's the gateway to community general. It has to look clean enough to operate on, Mark.
08:17You're cleaning the parking lot?
08:20We have an image to protect.
08:22This wouldn't have anything to do with the new healers.
08:25You heartless pig!
08:27What can I say? I'm a heartbreaker.
08:38Did I ever wear a shirt?
08:41You can wash your car, too, once in a while.
08:43And action!
08:54Her heart is stable, but it's weak. Too weak.
08:57Then I guess we'll just have to give her a new one.
08:59But we've scoured the country. There isn't a heart available.
09:02There is now.
09:13Who do you think you are? God?
09:16In here, that's exactly who I am.
09:19Because I can bring life. Or I can bring death.
09:22Or I can...
09:27Hold that thought.
09:31Talk to me.
09:33There's no cell phone in this scene.
09:35I didn't write a cell phone in this scene.
09:37Who put a cell phone in this scene?
09:39Cut! Scorsese?
09:41No, I can't hear you.
09:43Wait a minute. Are you kidding?
09:44Yes! Yes!
09:48I just got the lead in the new Scorsese picture.
09:51We start shooting next Monday, which means I leave the series immediately.
09:58But I want to say that you've all been like a family to me.
10:02And, uh...
10:07I love each and every one of you.
10:15You can't walk out.
10:17You have a contract.
10:19Besides, this show made you a star.
10:21No, correction. I made this show.
10:23People were willing to sit through your crappy little stories to watch me.
10:25You can do movies in your hiatus.
10:28We can shoot around your schedule. We can make it work for you.
10:32Besides, this is a hit series.
10:35Not without me.
10:46Why are we walking down the hall?
10:48To get to the pathology lab.
10:50To...
10:51Perform an autopsy.
10:52Right.
10:53I gotta understand my motivation, Doc.
10:54To embrace the raw truth of the moment.
10:57Couldn't you embrace someone else's raw truth?
11:00I really can't do my job with you following me around.
11:02But Norman Briggs said you'd show me the harsh realities of medicine.
11:05And I am ready for them.
11:07With Dixon Gallo out, I become the emotional core of the show.
11:10I've got to exude truth.
11:13Couldn't you exude on Doc Stewart?
11:19Excuse us, will ya?
11:20Sure, sure.
11:22Go away.
11:25Commander.
11:27Now, correct me for one.
11:28Weren't you the one who told me what a tremendous influence Dr. Adam Gale was on you?
11:32Yes, yes.
11:33Well, out there somewhere, maybe this young girl, waiting to be inspired by this TV doctor.
11:38Do you know what I mean?
11:42You may be right.
11:43Good.
11:44All right.
11:45But you stay out of my way.
11:46Go ahead.
11:47Confront death.
11:48Heal the sick.
11:49Bring new life into the world as if I wasn't here.
11:53He's not breathing.
11:54Smells like he choked on a clove of garlic.
11:55Respirator, stat!
11:56Stat!
11:57I love it!
11:58Go!
11:59Oh, gosh!
12:00Oh, gosh!
12:01Oh, gosh!
12:06He's not breathing.
12:07Smells like he choked on a clove of garlic.
12:08Respirator, stat!
12:09Stat!
12:10I love it!
12:11Go!
12:12Come on, ladies, let's go!
12:25Okay, he's back.
12:42Oh, helping me celebrate the Danino baby, I see.
12:48If God expected doctors to decide who lives and who dies, why did he make us all so human?
12:56Uh, Physician Heal Thyself, Episode 27, Calling Dr. Gale, if I'm not mistaken.
13:02You got a good memory.
13:04Until the new healers came along, you needed one of those just to remember when I had a
13:07career.
13:09Dr. Catiline would like you to know your thoughts on the grace biopsy, which reminds
13:16me of a song.
13:19Amazing Grace.
13:28Thank you, George.
13:32How sweet.
13:39That's what I'll be all thank you.
13:45You're starting, Lyle.
13:47You always have been.
13:49The show is ahead because of Dixon Gale, not because of me.
13:52And once that arrogant runt finishes this last episode, that's it for all of us.
13:56You know, I worked ten years, ten years for this second chance.
14:00He has no idea what he's throwing away.
14:03He's a thoughtless, fat-headed jerk.
14:07Well, you have talent.
14:08You know that.
14:09Now you've got the experience and the maturity under your belt to do something with it.
14:14You don't need a Dixon Gale to give you a second chance.
14:17What?
14:18You know something?
14:19You're right.
14:20You're right.
14:22The show must go on.
14:24And I'm just the phenomenon...
14:26Oof.
14:27The phenomenal talent to carry it off.
14:30Yeah!
14:31Who do you think you are?
14:38God?
14:39In here, that's exactly who I am.
14:41Because I can bring life.
14:43Or I can bring death.
14:45Or I can turn a blind eye and let fate take its course.
14:48If I can live with the consequences.
14:51A terrorist died on your operating table ten minutes ago,
14:55and now you're putting his heart into another body.
14:57Do you know what this looks like?
14:59Yeah.
15:00Justice.
15:04That terrorist spent his whole miserable existence taking the lives of innocent people.
15:08How ironic that his death is going to give one of them life.
15:11My God, man.
15:13Are you saying you let him die?
15:15Did I?
15:17I don't know.
15:21Dammit, I just don't know.
15:25Cut perfect.
15:27You were brilliant, Dixon.
15:29You were made for the point.
15:30Yeah, yeah, yeah.
15:31Look.
15:32When you're ready for me, I'll be in my trailer.
15:35Teaching Tawny her new lines.
15:37But Tawny doesn't have any lines.
15:39She does now.
15:41Come on, please.
15:42Come on.
15:43Come on.
15:44We need to set.
15:45We need to set lights.
15:56Are you afraid I'll suck your blood?
15:58Excuse me?
15:59Excuse me?
16:00Well, it smells like you're wearing a wreath of garlic.
16:05Dixon?
16:06Dixon?
16:07Dixon?
16:12The medical examiner saw no obvious signs of physical trauma, but he suspects poisoning.
16:26We'll know when the lab tests get back.
16:27Will you look at this?
16:28Bleached wood floors.
16:29Dixon Gallow sure has changed since high school.
16:33Yeah.
16:34Now he's thin and he's dead.
16:35Oh, wow.
16:36Background.
16:37You know, something about this isn't right.
16:38Yeah.
16:39I'll see you later.
16:40I'll see you later.
16:41I'll see you later.
16:42I'll see you later.
16:43I'll see you later.
16:44I'll see you later.
16:45I'll see you later.
16:46I'll see you later.
16:47I'll see you later.
16:48Dixon Gallow sure has changed since high school.
16:51Yeah.
16:52Now he's thin and he's dead.
16:54Oh, wow.
16:57Background.
16:58You know, something about this isn't right.
17:02Yeah, I'll say.
17:03I've never seen a trailer that looks so good.
17:05Why am I paying a mortgage when I can have all this?
17:07I'm talking about Gallo's death.
17:09Too many people wanted to see him dead to believe it was natural causes.
17:13Well, till the lab tests come back, I've got no reason to poke around.
17:17Of course, it is your hospital.
17:19And they are still filming.
17:21That's true.
17:36Boris, are you all right?
17:39Fine.
17:40Why are the parking lots so wet and slippery?
17:42Oh, Norma's having a clean.
17:44Where were you going in such a hurry?
17:45Lunch.
17:46Um, with a long lost uncle.
17:48Um, listen, I might be a little late.
17:50You know, getting reacquainted and all.
17:51Take all the time, innit?
17:52Okay, thank you.
17:54Long lost uncle.
17:56Mm-hmm.
17:57Well, I'm off too.
17:59Good luck with your snooping.
18:00Talk to you later.
18:03Watch your...
18:04Whoa!
18:05You all right?
18:06I'm fine.
18:07I'm fine.
18:08Well, the good news is there's nothing wrong with your heart.
18:17The hell with my heart.
18:18How's my insurance?
18:19Oh, you'll need to take that up at the billing office.
18:21But if you'd like to spare yourself or your insurance company any grief, I suggest next time washing your hands after setting mousetraps.
18:27Mousetraps?
18:28Mousetraps?
18:29The lab found barium chloride in your blood.
18:31It's a common rat poison.
18:33Doc, where have you been hiding yourself?
18:35Hiding?
18:36What makes you think I've been hiding from you?
18:38Gotta talk to the doc.
18:39Oh!
18:40Hey!
18:42I can't stop thinking about what you did the other day when you saved that man's life.
18:46I've never been so moved.
18:47Oh, that.
18:48That's just part of the job.
18:49A job I really must get back to.
18:50Excuse me.
18:51Now, is that...
18:52I've never seen so clearly before just how precious life is.
18:56We're all brief candles burning bright and yet can be snuffed out so easily.
19:01It's made me treasure every human life so much more.
19:05That is so beautiful.
19:07Yeah.
19:08Anyway, I talked to Cynthia Holling and she agreed to put your life or death rescue into the current episode.
19:15Really?
19:16Mm-hmm.
19:17I think there's someone you might like to talk to.
19:19What am I, a peep show?
19:21No.
19:22Mr. Isenson, you have a visitor.
19:23I don't want any visitors.
19:25My policy guarantees me a private room.
19:27Who's the old gas bag?
19:30Clifford Isenson.
19:32The brief candle I saved from snuffing.
19:36The individual human life that you treasure more now than ever before.
19:43The prop guy that keeled over on the set.
19:45Oh, the prop guy.
19:47Yes.
19:49I would like to talk to him.
19:50I wish you might.
19:51So why is it that Dixon Gallo's scalpels are always so much shinier than mine?
19:56Doesn't anybody know the meaning of private anymore?
19:59Dr. Gale.
20:01Uh, I'm not a doctor.
20:04I just play one on TV.
20:05Again.
20:06Lyle Fairbanks.
20:07Yes, of course.
20:08I knew that.
20:09I knew that.
20:10It's just that ever since I was a little girl, you represented everything I wanted to be.
20:15You're so warm and kind and wise and firm.
20:20Well, you're very kind.
20:23Dr. Bentley.
20:24Yes.
20:25Oh, it's you.
20:26Shouldn't you be off somewhere sucking up to the writers?
20:29I'm sure there's a couple of lines in the script you haven't stolen yet.
20:32That's okay.
20:33I'll wait till you blow them on the set and grab them then.
20:35Yeah, punk.
20:36I was acting when you were in diapers.
20:38And I'll be acting when you are, which ought to be in about two weeks.
20:42Fuck you.
20:52Security.
20:53Right away.
20:55Security to 34, nurse's station.
20:57Security to 34, nurse's station.
20:59Jack, do you have any idea what it's like seeing your childhood idols fighting like some street hood right under your nose?
21:06I mean, maybe it's not a good idea to confuse an actor with the role he plays.
21:10Try telling that to an eight-year-old little girl
21:13who's hopelessly in love with a doctor she sees on TV every week.
21:17Why don't you tell him that?
21:19Well, I will the next time I run into him,
21:20which probably will not happen because we work in such a big hospital,
21:23but I would if I could.
21:24Good, because he's right there.
21:28Like I said, the next time I run into him.
21:32Right.
21:33Now, remember, don't think about a little eight-year-old girl
21:34getting inspired by the new healers.
21:36He's such a jerk.
21:37I know.
21:37You really are.
21:38All right, is this thing fixed yet, Ellen?
21:40Yeah.
21:40How much?
21:41It's paid for.
21:43By who?
21:48Well.
21:49I hope you're proud of yourself.
21:52Oh, rarely.
21:54I idolized you.
21:56I wanted to be just like you.
21:59No, you didn't.
22:00You wanted to be like Dr. Gale.
22:02Well, yes, but I...
22:03Then you and I have a great deal in common, doctor.
22:06Please, sit down.
22:07You know, usually I like to actually meet a woman for our second date, but, um, in your case, I think I'll make an exception.
22:20Well, I'm Savannah Bellows.
22:22I'm sitting right over there, if you'd like to join me.
22:25I'm Jack Stewart, and I'd be very happy to join you.
22:28After that last time, I had a feeling we'd meet again.
22:31Me too.
22:32Although I...
22:32Yeah, well, go ahead.
22:33I wasn't actually quite sure if our next meeting was going to be, uh, personal or professional.
22:40Well, the way you were eating.
22:42What about it?
22:45Well, there's just so much food in front of you, and I couldn't see how anybody could eat like that regularly and, uh, maintain such a beautiful body.
22:54But I guess a couple of weeks of salads, and that all kind of evens out, doesn't it?
22:58Mm-hmm.
22:58Something like that.
23:00Well, not that it's any of my business what you eat.
23:03I'm glad you feel that way, because I am really hungry, and I don't like being judged.
23:08Oh, well, I ain't gonna judge nobody.
23:10Can you imagine what it's been like trying to live up to Adam Gayle?
23:22Trying to be this ideal of perfection that people expect me to be.
23:30That even I expect me to be.
23:36Hmm.
23:37I love eating.
23:39Mm-hmm.
23:40I mean, it's really that simple.
23:41And if I have to purge myself later, then that's just the price that I pay for this figure.
23:45Do you have any idea how unhealthy that is?
23:49I don't care.
23:51I was fat all through high school.
23:53The only guy that I ever dated was the one person at North Platte that was fatter than I was.
23:57And as soon as he dropped a few pounds, he dumped me.
24:01Now look at me.
24:03You have been.
24:04I know.
24:05And I like it.
24:07I mean, before, the only job that I could get was
24:10a receptionist for some quack physical therapist.
24:12I mean, now I am an actress.
24:14So, tell me again why I should stop purging.
24:20Look, it's because it's the worst thing you could possibly do to your body.
24:23It weakens your heart.
24:25It ruins your stomach.
24:26Okay, let me just rephrase that.
24:28Don't tell me.
24:29If you want to be with me, just ignore the way that I eat.
24:33Can you handle that?
24:34I hope so.
24:38Me too.
24:40Because there is only one thing that I like more than eating.
24:50No one expects you to be like Dr. Gale, really.
24:53You did.
24:54Great news, Doc.
24:58I just looked over the revised pages, and we're about to shoot your scene.
25:01Best scene in the script.
25:03Especially since there's no washed up old has-beens in it.
25:06Well, with you at the center, how could it be anything but great?
25:13So, what do you say, Doc?
25:14You want to come see me play you?
25:16I'd love to, but I'm right in the middle of something, and I don't think I...
25:19No, no, no.
25:19You go ahead.
25:20Really.
25:20This is an honor you don't want to miss.
25:25You were in this scene, you know, and I had Cynthia write you out.
25:31Well, in a way, I'm in every scene.
25:34You know, this is our series now, and we ought to work together, not against each other.
25:40You know, Dr. Benter reminded me of that, and of a whole lot more, too.
25:44You mean that?
25:45Yeah.
25:46Really?
25:47Sure.
25:48Honestly?
25:49Absolute.
25:50We have so much to talk about.
25:54Let me grab a cup of coffee.
25:55We'll start thinking about how to save this series.
25:57Uh, take mine.
25:59You've got a scene to shoot, and that's going to do so much more for this series than any
26:02mere words that we can come up with.
26:07Come on, Doc.
26:08Let's make medical history.
26:09Oh.
26:09Oh.
26:17I need that blood, and I need it now.
26:18A drunk driver hit a bus that skidded through a railroad crossing and collided with the Golden
26:23Rail Express.
26:24Every hospital in town needs blood.
26:26Then tell the staff to roll up their sleeves.
26:28If we can't find blood, we're going to have to give these good people our own.
26:30Right.
26:30This woman isn't breathing.
26:38Respirator set!
26:39Nah, forget the damn machine.
26:41This woman needs the breath of life.
26:42I can't tell you how many times that's happened to me.
26:56Shh!
26:59No!
27:00Ugh!
27:01Help!
27:02Ugh!
27:03Ugh!
27:04Is that in the script?
27:05Nee-
27:28Oh.
27:30Oh.
27:35Excuse me, I'd like to see the producer, Cynthia Holling, please.
27:39Regarding?
27:40A medical matter.
27:42Well, then you're up next.
27:48Oh, I'm sorry.
27:50There's been a misunderstanding here.
27:52When I said a medical matter, I didn't mean THE medical matter.
27:55I meant the medical matter.
28:01Miss Holling, I'm Dr. Mark Sloan.
28:04Getting into character is one thing,
28:06but it's a little early to be rewriting my script,
28:08don't you think, Dr. Paltrow?
28:10No, it's been a bit...
28:11You'll be reading with the prospective nurse Chapman.
28:13Are you ready?
28:14Yes.
28:21I hope there haven't been your long-lost uncle.
28:23He got lost.
28:25This could be my big chance. Mark, please.
28:28Okay, people, let's go.
28:30Feel free to use the props.
28:34Lawrence Steven knows what drugs do to people.
28:45He sees the human wreckage every day.
28:48So how could he let himself become a drug addict?
28:53Uh, I'm a, uh, brain surgeon.
28:58That doesn't make me a psychiatrist.
29:00You know, the proper tool here would be a, uh, a, uh, cranial saw, I think.
29:04Give an actor a scalpel and he thinks he's a doctor.
29:07Let me worry about that.
29:09What? This is inaccurate.
29:11I don't care.
29:16But, uh, when you wade in blood and misery and pain every day,
29:21it's hard to stop thinking about it.
29:24Maybe the drugs keep him from thinking at all.
29:27He doesn't need drugs. He needs love.
29:37Uh, your love, I suppose.
29:39Yeah, well, what's wrong with that?
29:41We could be good for each other.
29:43What about, uh...
29:47What about your husband?
29:49I've seen enough.
29:51Thank you. We'll be in touch.
29:56We'll be in touch.
30:00Uh, Miss Holland, I need to talk to you.
30:03If you insist.
30:04But you're not getting the part.
30:06I just don't find you believable as a doctor.
30:08Well, I-I am a doctor.
30:10I'm, uh, Dr. Mark Sloan.
30:12I'm head of internal medicine to community general,
30:14and I'm a special consultant to the police department.
30:16The police?
30:17Mm-hmm.
30:18I want to talk to you about Dixon Gallo's death.
30:23Do you know what this looks like?
30:25Yeah.
30:26Justice.
30:31That terrorist spent his whole miserable existence
30:33taking the lives of innocent people.
30:35How ironic that his death is going to give one of them life.
30:40You know, until I read that script,
30:41I didn't realize Dr. Stevens was a, uh, drug addict.
30:44He wasn't until the actor who played him decided to walk.
30:47Now his character is going to die of an overdose.
30:50Isn't that, uh, questionable taste under the circumstances?
30:54I have nothing to lose.
30:56Look, we could have run for years.
30:58Now we'd be lucky to last the month.
31:00If killing his character gives us a ratings point or two,
31:04I can live with the criticism.
31:06You must have been furious when he decided to quit.
31:09He was a complete unknown before the new healers.
31:11I cast him.
31:12I fought for him.
31:13I even slept with him.
31:14That's dedication.
31:15And how does he repay me?
31:17He quits four episodes into our second season.
31:20Furious?
31:21Huh.
31:22That's an understatement.
31:23Sounds like a motive for murder.
31:28No one said he was murdered.
31:30No one said he wasn't.
31:31We're waiting for the toxicology report.
31:34Look, he was quitting the show anyway.
31:37And what could I possibly gain by killing him?
31:40Revenge.
31:41And a $4 million insurance company payoff.
31:46What makes you think I had insurance on him?
31:49I learned to read upside down in medical school.
32:11You don't need drugs.
32:15You need love.
32:16Oh, don't you start with me.
32:18Listen, I got a call back for a different part.
32:21I'm on my way to the casting director now.
32:24Good.
32:25You looking for something?
32:26Breath mints.
32:27I can still taste that pasta I had for lunch.
32:30Here.
32:31Bubble gum.
32:32We all have our vices.
32:34That's right.
32:36And mine is television.
32:38I'm never watching another doctor's show as long as I live.
32:40She's been exploited in this illusion, the little girl.
32:44By television?
32:45By Lincoln Cutter and Lyle Fairbanks.
32:47Yeah, you see, Cutter plagiarized her life,
32:49rather effectively, I might add.
32:51And, uh, Fairbanks is not exactly Dr. Adam Gale, so.
32:55Speaking of Cutter, how is he?
32:57Well, I guess that bigger role made him very nervous.
33:00He took enough laxative for three people.
33:03Hey.
33:05I didn't know Steve went to high school in North Platte.
33:08He didn't.
33:09Dixon Gallo did.
33:10So did Savannah Bellows.
33:15Here she is.
33:17Hmm.
33:18Take a look.
33:21Small world.
33:23My call isn't for 15 minutes!
33:38It's okay.
33:39Take your time.
33:44Sorry.
33:45I thought you were the A.D.
33:46Come on in.
33:47I'm sorry that my dressing room is so small.
33:59I'm gonna wait outside.
34:00Oh, no.
34:01Stay.
34:02As long as you don't mind if I keep dressing while we talk,
34:05I've gotta be on the set in just a little bit.
34:08I, um, there's something I, I, um, I wanted to talk about, but, but it's a little awkward.
34:21Anything.
34:22Could you close the door first?
34:25Never mind.
34:26Never mind.
34:27I'll get it.
34:34So, what was it that you wanted to talk about?
34:37Ah.
34:38Keeping in mind that I do have to be on the set in 15 minutes, and directness is a definite plus.
34:46Um, the, um, the fat guy that you dated when you were in high school, the, the, the guy who, who dumped you after he lost the weight, that was, um, uh, Dixon Gala, right?
35:06You must have been looking at that yearbook that I gave him.
35:11I hope that disgusting picture of me didn't turn you off completely.
35:16Not completely, no.
35:19Good.
35:20I owe Dixon my life.
35:22I mean, it was being dumped by him that made me realize I had to lose the weight no matter what.
35:28That's why I'm so happy to have a role in the new healers.
35:32So you could thank him for dumping you?
35:35We, uh, we looked at our old yearbook pictures and laughed.
35:41It was like we never really stopped being friends.
35:45Well, somebody said that they, uh, saw you running out of his trailer in tears and screaming that he was a pig.
35:53Okay, I got a little upset that he ate the last Twinkie.
36:00Still, I'm glad that we had that time together before him.
36:06Hold me, Jack.
36:08Hold me close.
36:09You're right.
36:12Oh.
36:16It's Pellows!
36:17You're needed on the set!
36:18Oh!
36:19I'm sorry, I've got to run.
36:20You don't mind?
36:35I guess I could find my own way out.
36:37I'm going to find my own way out.
36:39Ms. Bellows!
36:40I'm coming!
36:49This woman is not breathing.
36:51Respirator set!
36:53Now, forget the damn machine.
36:55This woman needs the breath of life.
37:07Cut! Print!
37:10Uh, whoa, whoa, wait a minute, wait a minute.
37:13Are you sure?
37:14You know, that bit where I tore open her shirt,
37:16I don't know, it didn't seem urgent enough to me.
37:18Maybe we should do it again.
37:20We've already done it five times.
37:22Hey, I'm willing to do whatever is necessary to get it right,
37:25even if it means tearing open her shirt all day.
37:27Mark, what did you think of the scene?
37:29Ah, that it should have been Lincoln Cutters.
37:32Yeah, well, it was always meant for me,
37:34but he slept with Cynthia Holling before I got a chance.
37:36But I'm set of stage again, Mark.
37:38The action, the drama, the emotion,
37:40just like old times, isn't it?
37:42Oh, like the time you spiked that director's coffee
37:45with laxative, he had to be dragged off the set
37:47and bent over in pain.
37:50Oh, nice of you to buy Cutter a cup of coffee.
37:53I'm a nice guy.
37:55I'd love the chap, but I have to go rip open a lady's shirt.
37:57You, uh, spiked Cutter's coffee
37:59so you could steal a scene, didn't you?
38:01That scene was always supposed to be my scene
38:03until that slug had it rewritten.
38:05Come on, Mark.
38:07It was an innocent prank.
38:09Nobody got hurt.
38:10Oh, not like Dickson Gallo.
38:13Oh, you lovable jokester.
38:18I had nothing to do with that tragedy.
38:20You were angry at Gallo for walking off a show
38:22and putting your comeback at risk.
38:24Mark, I reached out to you.
38:27And this is how you repay my trust.
38:30Huh?
38:31Now, I admit I was desperate.
38:33Okay, I was terrified, but I'm not a killer.
38:36You know that.
38:37I'm not too sure.
38:39The lab report on Dickson Gallo just came in.
38:42It was murder.
38:43Barium chloride poisoning.
38:45All right.
38:46Red poison?
38:47Oh, how fitting.
38:49Hey, guys, come on.
38:54I loved him like a brother.
38:57I need your help on this, Dad.
39:02These test reports don't make sense.
39:04Red poison seems pretty straightforward to me.
39:06Yeah, but we can't figure out how it got in his system.
39:09There was no punctures in his skin,
39:11and his stomach contents were clean.
39:13Hmm.
39:14Another strange thing.
39:15His last meal was fruit.
39:17So?
39:18Well, the actress that was with him when he died
39:20was complaining about his garlic breath.
39:23What?
39:25Of course, Dolores.
39:27You accusing Dolores of murder?
39:29No.
39:30I'm accusing the parking lot.
39:36Dixon Gallo's murder.
39:42Careful.
39:43Oof.
39:44So what does the parking lot have to do
39:45with Dixon Gallo's murder?
39:47It's the murder weapon.
39:48Ah, now, why didn't I come up with that?
39:51Diamethyl sulfoxide.
39:53It's a solvent.
39:55Mm-hmm.
39:56I can see that right there on the label.
39:57Norman's having the parking lot cleaned for the show.
39:59Yeah, and it looks terrific, but what does that have to do
40:01with how Dixon Gallo died?
40:03DMSO is sometimes used illegally.
40:05as a deep muscle relaxant.
40:07It penetrates the skin so quickly
40:09that it's combined with other drugs and poisons
40:11to speed up the absorption.
40:13One of the symptoms is garlic breath.
40:17And how does Dolores fit into all this?
40:19Remember when we stepped out of Gallo's trailer,
40:21Dolores slipped on the pavement
40:22and got that solvent on her hands?
40:24She still can't get the garlic taste out of her mouth.
40:27So now we know the way he was poisoned.
40:29All we need is the how and the who.
40:31I think when we find the how, we'll get the who.
40:33Oh, what's up, Docs?
40:35We're discussing how to catch a murderer.
40:37Dixon and Gallo was killed by a massive dose
40:39of barium chloride mixed with DMSO.
40:42Now, if we can figure out how he was poisoned.
40:44Barium chloride?
40:46Cliff Isenson had barium chloride in his blood.
40:48Who's Cliff Isenson?
40:49The prop guy.
40:50He keeled over in the operating room
40:51after they shot the scene.
40:53I don't believe it.
40:55I've been wrong all along.
40:57When?
40:58Exactly.
40:59What?
41:00It's not how or who.
41:02It's when.
41:03Why?
41:04Do you know what this looks like?
41:07Yeah.
41:08Justice.
41:13That terrorist spent his whole miserable existence
41:15taking the lives of innocent people.
41:17How ironic that his death is going to give one of them life.
41:20My God, man.
41:21Are you saying you, you let him die?
41:25I don't know.
41:26Did I?
41:30Dammit.
41:31I just don't know.
41:32No.
41:35And cut.
41:36Now, that is television.
41:39No, that's murder.
41:40I thought Dixon Keller died in his trailer.
41:42He did, but the actual murder was committed here
41:44during the filming of the scene.
41:46So we're gonna reenact it.
41:47Right here, right now.
41:49Yeah.
41:50I don't think I could give a better performance.
41:52You certainly couldn't do any worse.
41:54Now, everything is exactly as it was before,
41:57right down to the original props.
41:58So everyone just play your parts.
42:00I'll be Dr. Loring Stevens.
42:02Okay, everybody.
42:03Place it.
42:04We've seen him act.
42:05The only thing gonna get killed is the dialogue.
42:16Okay, roll it.
42:18And action.
42:20Who do you think you are?
42:22God?
42:23In here, that's exactly who I am.
42:25I can bring life or I can bring death
42:28or I can turn a blind eye and let fate take its course.
42:32If I can live with the consequences.
42:35A terrorist died on your operating table
42:37ten minutes ago
42:38and now you're putting his heart into another body.
42:40Do you know what this looks like?
42:42Yeah.
42:43Justice.
42:45Oh, wait.
42:46This isn't right.
42:48Cut!
42:49We were all wearing surgical gloves when we did this scene.
42:52Oh, that's all right.
42:53It's not important.
42:54Just mop my brow and we'll go on.
42:56I really think that for the sake of accuracy
42:59we should be wearing the gloves.
43:01No, don't worry about it.
43:02It doesn't matter.
43:03Um, where were we?
43:04Uh, let's take it from Lyle's last line.
43:07Roll it and action.
43:10You know what this looks like?
43:13Yeah.
43:14Justice.
43:18Something wrong?
43:19I can't do this.
43:20Cut!
43:23That's because you know that the towel you mopped dicks and gallows brow with
43:27was soaked with DMSO and with rat poison.
43:32No, it's because I'm a stickler for accuracy.
43:35I don't blame you.
43:36The glove protected you from poisoning yourself.
43:40We were all wearing the gloves.
43:42I mean, anybody could have poisoned that towel.
43:45Everybody was very upset that Gallo quit the show.
43:49But you were the only one with a motive before that.
43:53You tried to kill Dixon before he made his announcement.
43:56That's why the prop man got sick.
43:57He handled the towel you were gonna wipe Dixon's brow with.
44:00Only he walked off the set before he had a chance to.
44:06Well, he dumped me when I was in high school because he said that I was too fat.
44:18So I lost the weight, I became an actress, and I finally got a job on his show.
44:24He didn't even recognize me.
44:29Not even after we'd gone to bed together.
44:32So you gave him the yearbook as a present and then told him who you were?
44:36He didn't care. He said that I was pathetic.
44:40He just laughed at me, said I should get a life.
44:42So you took his.
44:59Dad, don't do that.
45:01Oh, you don't think I'd use the actual towel, do you?
45:04Well, that one was probably thrown away a long time ago.
45:06There's one thing I still don't get, but how'd she know about the DMSO?
45:11Jack told me she was a receptionist for a physical therapist before she became an actress.
45:16They used to use DMSO on the black market as a muscle relaxant.
45:20A doctor who solves murders.
45:23Now that's a great idea.
45:26I'm perfect for my character.
45:27No, mine. Mine.
45:28Cynthia.
45:29Cynthia.
45:31My, Cynthia.
45:32Cynthia.
45:33Cynthia.
45:34They used to use DMSO on the black market as a muscle relaxant.
45:38A doctor who solves murders.
45:42Now, that's a great idea.
45:45I'm perfect for my character.
45:46No, mine. Mine. Cynthia.
45:48Mine. Cynthia.
45:52Action.
45:57You used to deal in life, not death.
45:59And if I can turn death into life, don't I have the obligation to try?
46:03Whose life?
46:04Whose death? And what gives you the right to choose?
46:06It's one thing to steal the organs from a dead terrorist,
46:09but this woman did nothing wrong besides die in an auto accident.
46:13Christa Loras, she was so excited about getting her part,
46:15now she's nowhere inside.
46:17I can't believe I used to watch this stuff. I can't take much more, really.
46:20They said this was the last shot of the day.
46:21Dear, I hope they haven't written her out.
46:24You hope? I could have shared an office with her.
46:26The corpse has no guilt or innocence. It's either useful or it isn't.
46:30Useful? How would you feel if this useful buddy was your wife's?
46:33It is my wife's.
46:35She was hit by a drunk driver on her way to her prenatal exam.
