You sure you got the right dog?

- It fits the description, sir.

- Please, sir. Don't take my dog.

I'm sorry, son. I have to.

It's for your own safety.

And kids, in the future,

if you find a lost dog, report it.

Every animal has their rightful owner.

- Don't let him take my dog.

- Don't worry about it.

- In you go, Suzy.

Don't you have anything better to do

than take dogs away from kids?

Keep up with that lip, sir, I'm gonna

have to cite you for an open container.

- [Engine Starts]

- Dad, aren't you gonna do something?

- Aren't you gonna get him back?

- We'll get you a new dog.

- But I don't want a new dog.

- Let's get inside.

- Frisbee was special.

- Don't worry about it.

I've asked one of my colleagues

to come by.

We're not sure why

Casey's not responsive.

His CAT scan shows

the blood clot's still small...

but there's still more brain swelling.

I'd like to suggest some minor surgery.

Intracranial pressure monitor.

- Oh, God.

- There's no cause for alarm.

Casey's making

small improvements in other areas.

His lungs have cleared up substantially.

That's a big plus.

Brian, the Negro boy in .

I think he was operated on yesterday.

Could I inquire about his condition?

- Oh, yeah. He's doing very well.

- Yeah?

He's out of critical condition.

We'll be taking him out of the I.C.U. Today.

Oh, that's nice. Thanks.

Excuse me just one minute.

- Excuse me. What exactly is a diuretic?

- It makes him urinate more.

- I see. So, that's to alleviate pressure?

- Casey. Casey, please wake up.

- Yeah, okay. I'll be right there.

- Dr. Wyman.

I wanted to thank you for saving my son's life.

You are a miracle worker.

- That's my job.

- He'll have a minor surgery?

Nurse, are you clear about this?

Mr. Finnigan, I'm sorry, I -

Hey, Knute.

I just was hearing the good news.

Congratulations.

I can't tell you how pleased I am.

Thank you very much.

I mean, everybody has been so nice.

Casey.

Casey, we love you, honey.

Please wake up.

Any change in my grandson

that you know of? I mean -

I'm sorry. I don't have

any additional information.

Casey. Casey?

Hey, sweetie.

Hey, sweetie.

Casey. Howard!

- How's your little boy?

- Howard, Casey's waking up.

Look, his eyes are open.

- Hey, sweetie.

- Hey, Case.

Hey, Case.

Hey, buddy. How you doing?

Hey, can you hear me?

Hi, son.

Howard. Howard, what's that?

Howard, what's happening?

Ca - Nurse! Nurse!

Come here!

- Howard, do something.!

- Hurry up. Hurry up.

- Come here. I don't think he's breathing here.

- [Nurse] Casey, are you all right?

[Howard] He opened his eyes

and then he stopped breathing.

Call a code blue and get me

some help in here immediately.

- Code blue. I.C.U.

- Can you hear me, son? Casey?

I need you to clear the room.

I need to make some space.

Let the doctors work. Please.

- We have to go clear the room.

- [Ann] No!

Come on. We'll wait outside.

We'll be right outside.

Just give them room.

Just give them room to work.

- Just give them room to work.

- Get the bed and pull it out for me.

Mrs. Finnigan, I'm sure you'd be more

comfortable. You don't wanna-

Get out of here!

Let's put him up on this.

- Oh!

- Can we get the thallium?

Nothing. No.

. of epinephrine, please.

- After that, you can draw up. of atropine.

- Excuse me. Excuse me.

Start C.P.R.

[Nurse]

Okay, atropine ready.

[Doctor]

How long we been doing this?

- Uh, two minutes.

- Good.

Check for pulse.

How long?

I'll continue C.P.R.

[Beeping Continues]

I can't believe it. Can you?

She was just over at my apartment

two weeks ago.

Do you know her from work?

- Did you sign the guest book?

- No. No, not yet.

Excuse me.

How's Casey?

Come on, honey.

Come on. Let's go.

[Stuart] Well, I filled out

an application about two weeks ago.

A Mr. Walsh told me

to call him in case I hadn't heard.

Well, I've been away on family business.

- [Woman On Phone] Please hold a minute.

- Okay. All right. I'll hold.

Where you been all day?

- What time is it?

- I asked you where you been.

[Woman On Phone] Sir, give me your number,

and I'll have Mr. Walsh get back to you.
