Extreme Measures Page #5

Excuse me, where you going?

I'm trying to help you!

This is Guy. If you have a message,

leave it after the beep. Thanks.

Guy, it's Dad.

I'm sorry to keep ringing,

I want to say two things:

One:
it turns out I actually knew

your NYU chap, Coseeki.

At the Royal Marston, back in the fifties.

And two:

I thought I might fly over to buy

you a congratulatory Tom Collins...

...or whatever they drink over there.

Possibly later this month?

Let me know what you think, okay? 'Bye.

"Pending the outcome of

your criminal trial, Gramercy Hospital...

...will agree to suspend charges

on the stolen property. "

"As of today, you are relieved

of all hospital duties and credentials. "

"The contents of your call room

will be forwarded to you. "

"Your presence on the property

without invitation will constitute trespass."

"We've notified Immigration we'll revoke

sponsorship of your work visa...

...should criminal charges

result in conviction. "

Well, that was quick.

All that in 24 hours. Taken me longer

to find a bed for a patient.

It's best to move fast on these things.

It's not the first time this has happened.

Is that right?

That might explain it a bit...

...because obviously, I'm having

trouble understanding why...

...it's so easy for all of you to believe

I just threw my life away...

...which was going quite well.

Why I suddenly...

...out of the blue, took up drugs

and threw it all away.

It's hard to grasp why that's easier

for you to believe...

...than that someone in this hospital

set me up to stop me asking...

...about a patient whose body disappeared

into thin f***ing air.

But that probably just makes me sound

druggie and paranoid, right?

I'll be specific. I think it's you.

I don't know what you're doing,

but I hope it makes you rich or...

We found Claude Minkins.

It was a clerical error. He was buried

four days ago, potter's field.

Guy, please.

Sorry, Doc. Never heard of it.

It could be some kind of men's shelter.

Or a church?

You never heard anyone talk of The Room?

The Room? They got rooms

all over the place.

They got rooms all over this city.

Everybody got a room but us, right?

Thanks, Bobby. Thanks.

You're talking about the worms, right?

No, The Room.

I know. Yeah, I know.

Down with the worm people.

It's some kind of shelter?

Ain't no shelter.

It's their home.

It's that underground sh*t.

The worms.

Track rats.

Mole people.

I don't understand.

The Room.

There's all kinds of places like that.

People living underground.

Whole bunches of them.

All over the city.

You know it?

I don't like it dark like that.

I like the park.

- Do you know where it is?

- I don't go down. You gotta be a mole.

And you gotta know the way.

Wait a minute. Where can I find one...

...of these moles?

I know a half-mole.

The guy we turn the cans over to.

I see him all the time.

That's how I know about this.

Can I meet this guy?

Slow down, Doc.

We gotta work something out.

What are you talking about?

You know, man.

- How much do you want?

- I don't want your money.

Come on, me and you are friends.

What do you take me for?

- I'm sorry...

- A couple of scrips is all we need.

No way. I won't do that. Forget it.

Doc, are you sure? I mean...

...this surely smells important.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

- What are you doing?

- I came to see you.

I saw you getting on the bus. I'm sorry.

I wanted to ask you a favor.

Look, Guy, I'm sorry.

We all are.

The whole thing...

We're all in shock.

I don't know what to say. You were

a great doctor. I just don't know...

...why you needed drugs.

Someone planted that cocaine

in my apartment.

Someone took the cocaine from

the hospital and staged a break-in...

...to attract the police.

What are you talking about?

I need someone to check the staff logs.

September 11, October 9, last fall.

It's written here.

I need to know who was on ER duty

when Minkins and Dolson were seen.

What are you doing? Why?

Because someone who worked these shifts

has destroyed my life.

I'm f***ed, Jodie.

It doesn't matter what happens in court.

I won't practice medicine again.

Not here. Not in England. Nowhere. Ever.

Why me?

Because you have access

to the fourth floor.

Look, I've put my number on there.

Please?

Think about it.

Althea Dolson?

Althea. Right, I beg your pardon.

Thank you. My name's Harbash.

I'm a doctor at Gramercy Hospital.

I wonder if you'd help me.

We're trying to locate anyone

who might know a Theodore Dolson.

You don't.

All right...

...thank you very much, anyway.

What kind of pain is that?

Right, so that's a sort of high fever

and a sore throat.

That would be very hard for me to say.

You'd have to have a culture taken.

Could you hang on for me?

I've got a call coming in.

Thank you. Sorry. Hello?

It's happy hour, Doc.

We have found Mr. Half-Mole.

Right. You got our finders' fee...

...and Mr. Half-Mole says

he knows about these rooms...

...and it's a $100 tour.

You got 15 minutes to meet us.

Okay, fine. Where?

Grand Central information booth.

And don't forget. No scrip...

...no trip.

My man.

Okay, here we go.

I could take him out now.

Listen, he's got a line on Dolson.

Come on, man. He's gonna

take us right to him.

Sh*t! Sh*t!

It's one way!

Go! Pull around the block.

- Go! Go!

- I got it.

Watch it!

F*** him. Go!

Around here.

Sh*t! Sh*t!

Son of a...

Why didn't you move the f***ing truck?

Are you f***ing blind?

Are you f***ing blind?

Move your f***ing truck!

Goddamn it!

Goddamn it!

I'll move the f***ing thing for you.

It's about time, man.

So where is he?

- Where is he?

- He's behind me. Track 24.

And, Doc...

...you be careful.

Watch your ass.

So, is it far?

Excuse me.

Is it far?

Tell me how far, roughly.

Hey, pal. What's your hurry?

- Look, man, that's the straight sh*t.

- Dr. Luthan.

That's amazing. I swear

I saw you in the park...

...talking to a Dr. Luthan.

Hello?

Are you there?

Are we in The Room?

So it's down there?

Is it down there? Are we there?

I'm not gonna pay you till I get there.

I don't go down there.

- How do I know you're telling the truth?

- You're still alive.

To the bottom and through.

Hey, wait!

Wait!

F*** this whole...

Come on.

Come on.

Someone there?

Someone there?

Sh*t!

Okay, look...

...if someone's there listening,

I'm looking for Teddy Dolson.

Jesus Christ!

Let him go.

Who are you with?

Who did you come with?

No one.

Who sent you?

No one.

I'm looking for Teddy Dolson.

- Claude Minkins told me about this...

- Where is he?

Where's Claude?

Claude came into the hospital

where I work. I'm a doctor.

He was very sick.

We did everything we could for him.

He didn't make it.

You've come for Teddy?

Yeah, is he here?

Are you going to kill him too?

Jesus, I'm not killing anyone.

Listen...

Do you understand where you are?

This is our home.

We have rules.

You think we keep healthy

so you can kill us?

- I won't kill anyone. I'm on your side.
