The Lennon Report Page #3

back in here, okay?

-We may have a situation.

- What kind of

situation requires

Mr. kazoo's presence

in this hospital?

- Forget about kazoo.

A very important person has

been rushed into our trauma

room. Just keep an eye out

for anything unusual.

- Unusual? Right.

- Please.

- How important are we

talking about here?

- Bigger than we're

equipped for. All right?

-Hi, it's Barbara again.

Can you page us a

respiratory therapist?

Thanks.

- The shooting occured

around 10:
45.

Multiple shots to the

back with a thirty-eight.

-Medical history?

-No idea.

-Patient's name?

- John Doe

- John Doe.

- Hey. Come here.

- Yes?

- Can you do me a favor?

I'm Alan, I'm Alan.

- What's your name?

- Santos.

-Nice to meet you, Santos.

Do you watch eye witness news?

-Ah, Geraldo Rivera!

- Yes, I work for eye

witness news.

Alright, so could you

do me a favor.

Here's my card.

Here's twenty dollars.

- Ok.

- Call that number.

Whoever answers, just tell

them, "Alan Weiss is in

the hospital and John Lennon

may have been shot."

- "Alan Weiss shot

John Lennon."

- No, no. I'm Alan Weiss.

I didn't shoot anyone.

John Lennon?

- Si, Si Si.

- "Alan Weiss is in the

hospital and John Lennon

may have been shot."

-Aye, Mio!

- Can you do that quickly?

- No problemo.

-Stop mopping and sweeping.

Where is my husband?

-He's in surgery right now.

-I need to see him.

- I'm sorry, you can't see him.

They are working

on him right now.

- What's happening?

Is he alright?

- I can't say. A doctor will

talk to you as soon

as they are done. They'll

have the best information.

-I'll just wait.

- I can put you in a

private waiting area until

the doctor can talk to you.

-Give me drapes.

Give him twenty blade.

Let's get them in there!

- Move quickly!

- Let's get an incision.

- Can I make a phone

call, please?

-Of course you can.

That sounds great.

Let's do it one more time.

This time, let's wait a few

bars before you come

in with the the vocals.

- Hey, David!

-Hold on one sec.

Hello?

-John's been shot.

-John's been what?

Yoko. Talk to me.

What's happening?

- David, I don't know

what to do. I'm alone.

I'm surrounded by strangers.

I just need a familiar face.

I need to get home to Sean.

Can you please just meet me

at Roosevelt hospital?

- Yeah.

I'll be right there.

- Thanks.

Please hurry.

- Santos.

- Hey, Joe!

-Thank you.

- I have to get back

to the surgery.

-Mr. Weiss?

Alan Weiss?

-Yeah?

- Staff isn't allowed to

make personal calls

on behalf of the patients.

- Well technically this isn't

a personal phone call.

- Mr. Weiss, we have

a situation here

so I'm gonna need

you to lie quiet.

- Who's in there?

Is that John Lennon?

- Mr. Weiss I asked you to

lie quiet here and not

get in the way of

what's going on.

- I'm not trying to get

in the way.

If you don't want to

tell me, that's fine.

You can shake your head, yes?

No? That's all I need.

If that's John Lennon,

people have the right to know.

- And if it's not, they

don't have a right to know?

Or if it's not, you

just don't care?

-That's not what I meant.

-All right.

- Eye witness news,

right? Channel 7?

-Yeah.

- I don't know who the hell

is in there, and frankly,

I don't care.

The only thing I care about

is that you lie here. Quietly.

Thank you, Mr. Weiss.

- How about my twenty dollars?

- Dispatch. Victim

delivered to Roosevelt.

- Custody turned over to the

hospital's emergency staff.

- Victim means crime.

I need everyone who isn't

absolutely committed at the

Dakota to get to Roosevelt.

Find out who they

just brought in.

Phil, I can get to Roosevelt.

- No, if everyone is out in

the field then no one

is here to help me get

this on the air.

Jeff, this might be

going on air.

I'm not going to do this alone.

-Where is he?

- He is in room 115,

Dr. marks.

Rib spreader.

Dick? What are you

doing here?

- Did they tell you who that is?

-Is it really him?

-Yes, that's John Lennon.

- I just escorted Yoko Ono

to an empty OBgyn room.

We should call

Dr. Lynn.

After the incision

is spread I'm gonna need

to call and update him

on this situation.

- DEA, could you follow up

with that respiratory

therapist please?

- I don't think anybody

is coming, Pam.

- Blood is pooling in the

thoracic chamber.

Can't see the heart.

-Scissors.

- I'm going to deliver

the heart.

-Delivering the heart.

Are you sensing any organized

cardiac activity?

-Beginning cardiac massage.

Get suction.

- in the aorta

resuming respiration.

Do we see any circulation?

No.

Still nothing.

- Nurse, I need a pediatric

feeding tube, a catheter,

and an 10 blade.

- Dr. marks, what are

you doing?

-A Vietnam line.

We saved a lot of lives with

these in the war.

Right leg?

- I was never in combat,

what does that mean?

- I'm going to do a

cutdown on the greater

saphenous vein and

catheterize the vein.

-And the feeding tube?

- Big tube. It carries a lot of

blood, and fast.

- Dr. marks, my patient is in

a delicate state.

Are you sure an incision

medically necessary?

- You need circulation.

I'm giving it to you.

- What are you doing?

- I'm making a phone call.

-No you're not.

- I can't make my own

phone call now?

You listen to me very carefully.

Okay? I am leaving

this hospital.

You have no legal

right to hold me here.

- You're not going anywhere.

- Oh no? Oh, perfect!

You see how he's manhandling me?

-I got this.

- Just make sure he gets back

to his spot. He's all yours.

- Okay. All right.

- You see that?!

- Mr. Weiss, you were so

beat up we had to take the

stretcher apart to

get you in here.

What are you doing?

-Don't you know?

-Know what?

-He's been shot.

-Who's been shot?

-John Lennon.

- John Lennon's been shot?

Who told you that?

- Well, no one told

me directly but

- I heard two cops say that...

I could've sworn they

said his name.

- Alan, I've got a

radio right here.

If John Lennon was shot,

I think I'd know about it.

- So, he's not shot?

- No.

Can I get you back to your bed?

- He's not shot.

- Come on. Let's go.

- Can I just make a phone

call, please? I've been here

for a while. People are

probably worried.

Just a minute. I won't get you

in trouble. Just one call.

-Sure.

- Here.

- Thanks.

-Newsroom.

-Phil, it's Alan.

- Please tell me you

won the Mercury contest?

- I got into a

motorcycle accident.

- I knew you were gunna

dump that thing.

He got into an accident.

Yeah, so you're okay, right?

- I think I'm fine I'm at

the hospital.

- Wait, what hospital?

Roosevelt?

-Yeah. Listen to me.

I think John Lennon's been shot.

Shut up. Shut up!

Jesus, Alan.

I just heard the cops call

for an ambulance to the

Dakota and another call

saying a victim has

just been transported

to Roosevelt.

- Phil, that's the third part.

I heard his name,

I think I've seen Yoko

Ono and if your telling

me they called for an

ambulance for the Dakota.

It's gotta be John Lennon.
