Extreme Measures Page #4

What? You mean on purpose?

What the hell are you doing?

I'm looking for the file on Minkins.

He was here before.

Someone tampered with his record.

Anyone see you come in?

Look, Jeff.

There are so many things

about this which are so odd.

Would you include your recent self?

You nailed a fellowship.

You're two months away.

You're going to places I could never get to.

Anyone finds you in here,

and you aren't going anywhere.

So relax, okay?

By the way, your mystery man?

I called security. They're looking into it.

Okay? Now, come on. Come on.

I was fighting my ass off like a gladiator.

He didn't have a knife, he had a machete.

Did I say six inches?

Fourteen inches long. No lie, man.

The motherfuckers took my scrips and all.

Wait a minute,

what kind of stitching you call that?

It's good. It's fine.

Bullshit. I'm homeless, not stupid.

It looks like the Bride of Frankenstein.

Tell him.

Those are terrible sutures.

You're a terrible suturer.

See?

I'm gonna make you all happy.

- Jack, can you finish this up?

- Sure.

Good. And what's next?

Don't you have

that important reception at NYU?

Jesus Christ!

Where you going? I'm in serious pain here.

And this motherf***er's 12 years old!

Anyhow, my apologies again.

It's not a problem.

You've met the rest of the team?

I think so. At the interview.

- Dr. Sharma.

- Nice seeing you again, Doctor.

- Very nice to see you.

- Thank you.

Dr. Cohen.

- Good to see you.

- How are you?

- Dr. Breceski.

- Welcome to neurology.

And do you know Professor Myrick?

Who has nothing to do with this program...

...but was here and wanted to say hello.

You took care of a neighbor's son.

A cab accident.

They said you were terrific.

Anyhow, I heard you'd be here

and I just wanted to pass that on.

Thank you, it's a great honor.

So you're moving on?

That's right. I start here in the summer.

Well, that's great.

If you think that ER was tough...

...wait till Jim gets started with you.

Right, Jim?

Dr. Myrick?

I probably shouldn't,

but can I ask you a question?

Certainly.

Okay, basically...

...white male, forties.

Elevated thyroid functions.

Enzyme toxicity just off the charts.

Convulsions, high fever...

...pulse, pressure and vitals

in total disarray.

Who are we talking about?

It's just a patient of mine.

You'd have to rule out meningitis.

Did you do a spinal tap?

Oh, no, he died on us.

What about postmortem?

Believe it or not, we've lost the body.

Well, that never helps.

Bottom line, without a tap,

you'll never know.

That's what I thought.

Thank you very much.

Sure.

I guess I was a big help.

So?

He's not gonna drop it.

I'm headed out.

I'll see you later.

She's eating very well this morning.

How you doing?

- You take care of your shift?

- My partner's gonna cover for me.

So what's this guy's name?

Luthan.

Dr. Guy Luthan.

You're okay on this, right?

It's not gonna go in my memoirs.

You can't handle this...

...you better tell me now.

Look, I'm in, okay?

I'm in.

My ears are ringing.

Could you just raise your right hand

and your left leg for me, please?

You don't hear it?

In a moment, Mr. Randall,

then we'll get you right back to bed.

This is Observation Room B.

We need help, stat.

You...

...gotta stop...

...it!

This tape was filmed 22 hours...

...after the removal

of a 4-micron spinal section...

...at the tenth vertebra.

Insertion of an electrical prosthetic...

Was followed by...

...administration of

I.N. 1 monoclonal antibody and so on.

Patient Number 12...

...regained 75 percent operational mobility.

And 26 hours and 14 minutes

after his operation...

...his condition is stable.

Take it easy, guys. We're not there yet,

but we are getting closer.

Those who've been here

from the beginning...

...Helen and Billy...

...and can remember Patient 1,

know how far we've come.

Don't go wild, but your work,

your suffering...

...your sacrifices will certainly

be worth it.

And like I said...

...we're not there yet...

...but we certainly will be there.

Thank you so much.

Literally hundreds of dollars worth...

...of unnecessary lab work

wiped off the computer.

And Jeff has access to that computer.

So I go to the Records Annex to look...

I shouldn't be there. To see if there's

a hard copy of details of this lab work.

And there's Jeff again.

This time, making pretty unsubtle threats

about my future...

...if I don't drop it.

What do we do? I have no idea

what they're trying to cover up.

But maybe there's something

we should be doing.

This isn't what Jeff told me.

- You spoke to him?

- You're pulling over 90 hours a week.

I looked it up. It's too much.

People burn out.

I'm not overworked.

I brought you over. I'm your biggest fan.

Jeff may not be a great boss,

but I trust him.

Exactly what I'd have said three days...

When you accuse him of conspiracy,

you start to sound a little odd.

Yeah, well, okay. All right.

There's no question I am tired.

That's for sure.

But I promise you...

...I'm not cracking up.

I tell you what I'll do.

I'll get you a copy of the original lab work

on Minkins...

Shut the f*** up!

I'm really sorry.

I apologize.

I seriously think you should look at it.

The cops, they call you, yes?

- They still here?

- This morning I hear something breaking.

I call 911 right away.

Guy Luthan?

You're Dr. Luthan?

I'm Detective Manning.

Sorry about this.

F***!

F***!

So, did they just break the door down?

Looks that way, yeah.

We called. We figured you worked...

...at Gramercy.

The responding officers, they got here,

the door was wide open.

So anyone see anything?

You mean a witness? No.

You look a little punchy.

Anything missing?

I don't know.

Like I said...

...the door was open.

It's legal for us to look around.

What do you mean?

You talking about the hospital stuff?

I've been at Gramercy for two years.

All of this was being thrown out.

You mean, the towels and sh*t, right?

Finders keepers, right?

I thought you'd arrest me.

I am concerned about the half ounce

of pharmaceutical cocaine we found.

It was next to your bed.

Do you share this apartment with anyone?

No.

I have to place you under arrest.

"You have the right to remain silent. "

"Anything you say can

and will be used against you. "

Something's going on here.

"If you cannot afford one,

one will be appointed to you. "

Watch your head.

While investigating a burglary...

...at the defendant's apartment,

police discovered in plain view...

...approximately 18 grams of pure cocaine.

The state has charges pending

concerning theft of property...

...from the defendant's employer.

- I don't do pending, Counselor.

Talk to me about bail.

We think there's a risk of flight.

We're asking for $10,000 bond...

...and we'd like his passport.

Look, I can help you.

I'm $125 an hour.

It was a bad search. It was a first offense.

For $1,500, we could plead this out,

suspended sentence.
