It's reel-to-reel.

You can't wind it like that.

Don't ever set me free...

Watch where you're going!

It's just a shirt, man!

Frank! Come quick!

Lance just fell

into the conversation pit!

Excuse me, you know

where Lance Applebaum is?

Thank you.

These bottles need to be labeled

when you pick them up.

Do you understand

how dangerous this is?

Do you?

Don't stand there crying,

just nod your head

and tell me

you won't do it again.

Now dry up and get back to work.

Dr. Blair, Dr. Blair

Dr. Sherwood Blair.

Hey, hey... you okay?

He told me to pick up the blood,

so I did, but he never told me

to label it.

Hey, it's okay.

stop crying.

What's your name?

- Brenda.

- Brenda.

Brenda, I wouldn't worry

about it.

You know, these doctors

you know,

they don't know everything.

It's my first week

and I think they're

going to fire me.

No, no, nobody's

going to fire you, Brenda.

I bet you're good at your job.

No, I'm not.

Yeah, I bet if I asked you

to check on the status

of my friend Lance Applebaum

that you could do that for me

in a second.

Nurse Fitzsimmons to Recovery.

Nurse Fitzsimmons to Recovery.

Um...

Mr. Applebaum fractured

his ankle.

Dr. Ashland is treating him

in exam room seven.

You see that? No problem.

This is the emergency chart.

see that blue star there?

That means that the patient

has been diagnosed.

And then,

after he's been treated

we put a red circle here, see?

How do you like those braces?

I guess they are all right.

I got mine off last year.

Boy, I hated them.

They were bottoms.

You know, I still got to wear

my mouth guard.

You have really nice teeth.

Well, thank you.

And you have a pretty smile.

Custodial to cafeteria.

No, I mean it.

I really think

those braces look good on you.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Yeah.

Do you know if they're hiring

here at the hospital?

I'm not sure.

What do you want to do?

I'm a doctor.

Dear Dad:

I've decided to get

off the road for awhile.

I've taken a night job

at a hospital

and met

some really nice people.

Feels good to have my feet

on the ground

to wake up in the same bed

every night.

Who knows, maybe I'll even find

someone to settle down with.

Harvard Medical school...

top of your class.

southern California

Children's Hospital.

Well, that's a pretty impressive

resume, Dr. Conners

but unfortunately, uh...

the only thing I need

is a...

an emergency room supervisor

for my midnight to: :00am shift

someone to baby-sit

six interns and 20 nurses

but, uh...

Hell, I doubt that, uh,

you would be interested in that.

Well, in the past

they've always let me choose

my own nurses.

Dr. Connelly?

Dr. Harris?

Present.

Dr. Ashland?

Dr. Conners...

You gonna take roll every night?

Uh, yes, I will, Dr. Ashland

and if you're going to be late,

I suggest you bring a note.

Miss Basmann.

Miss Mace.

Miss strong.

Here.

Nurse Brown.

- Nurse sanford?

- Here.

What do you estimate

the degree and extent

of the burns, Kildare?

second and third-degree burns

over about 20 percent

of the body surface.

Do you concur?

I concur.

Let's get him up to Pediatrics.

Hello, Brenda.

Hi, Dr. Conners.

You need to sign these.

Thank you.

Do you notice anything

different about me, Doctor?

- You got your braces off!

- Yeah!

Come here. Let me see.

I've been trying

to show you all night!

Wow. Good job.

Yeah?

so, did it hurt

when they took them off?

Mine felt so weird after.

Mm, I keep rubbing my tongue

over them.

I can't stop.

They're so slippery.

It feels good, though,

doesn't it?

Yeah, it feels incredible.

Oh, my.

I'm... I'm sorry.

Dr. Conners to the ER.

Dr. Conners to the ER.

shouldn't you go?

No. No, no.

They have a staff doctor

in the emergency ward.

We'll be fine.

What if he's in surgery?

Do you really think

I have to go?

Oh. In here, Dr. Conners.

Gentlemen, what, uh...

what seems to be the problem?

Bicycle accident.

Fractured tibia about

five inches below the patella.

Hmm.

- Dr. Harris.

- Yes?

Do you concur?

C... Concur with what, sir?

With what Dr. Ashland just said.

Do you... Do you concur?

Uh... well, it was

a bicycle accident.

Um, the boy told us.

so you concur?

Concur? Uh...

I think we should take an X ray

then stitch him up

and put him in a walking cast.

That's very good, Dr. Ashland.

Very good.

Well, you don't seem

to have much need for me.

Carry on.

I blew it, didn't I?

Why didn't I concur?

Dr. Henning, call extension 219.

Dr. Henning, extension 219.

Make yourself at home!

Frank Abagnale sr.

You're not a cop.

special Agent Hanratty, FBI.

You're not a cop.

My landlord said

you were not a cop.

Well, if you're going

to arrest me

I'd like

to put on a different suit

if that's okay with you.

No, no, I'm not here

to arrest you.

I'm looking for your son.

He's in trouble.

Do you know where he is?

If I tell you where he is

will you promise

not to tell his mother?

sure.

Frank made up a fake I.D.

and enlisted

in the Marine Corps.

He's over in Vietnam right now.

That kid is halfway

around the world

crawling through the damn jungle

fighting the Communists, so...

please, don't come to my home

and call my boy a criminal

because that kid has

more guts...

I never said he was a criminal,

Mr. Abagnale.

I said he was in trouble.

If you'd like to give me a call

and talk, here's my number.

You're not a father, are you?

Pardon me?

If you were a father,

you'd know.

I would never give up my son.

I would never give up my son.

Yes, sir. I understand.

sean, sean, now get this:

"Riverbend Apartments

Atlanta, Georgia.

Yeah, I'm on my way

to the airport.

I'll meet the team in, uh,

in four hours.

Bye-bye.

Come on, it's okay.

You don't have to cry.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry, Frank.

I can't do this.

Brenda, listen to me.

I don't care if you're

a virgin, all right?

Really, I can wait.

I'm not a virgin.

I had an abortion two years ago.

My parents had a friend do it

a man that my father

plays golf with.

And then, when I got better,

they kicked me out of the house.

I had an abortion and I wasn't

their daughter anymore.

Hey...

I'm so sorry.

Please don't be mad at me.

Please, please,

don't be mad at me.

No, no.

Please don't be mad at me.

shh. Now... what if...

what if I spoke

to your parents, right?

May-Maybe I can

straighten things out, huh?

Well, I ask them all the time

but they said I still

can't come home.

And my daddy's... a lawyer.

Aw...

Brenda...

what if you were engaged

to a doctor?

Will that change anything?

What?

What if I went

to your parents...

and I spoke to your father...

and I asked permission

to marry you?

It's empty.

Nobody here.

Dr. Conners, are you Lutheran?
