To my mind, I had toobey. The Surakis were there,

anyway. It will be over soon. It won't take much more for it

(08:54):
to be complete. It's too lateto stop him now. It's too powerful
to me. It's a kind ofgiddy. Give your dog callotepy. Now,

(09:16):
get some kind of a red bull. And he's colder than the strip.
What the hell's going on here?What are you doing doing? Colon
Abulance go in needs immediate medical attentionto it now, being him a coloristus
fun, that's with these fellows,Yeah, looked over to them on straight

(09:58):
away. All right, I good. Doctor him on the horn and tell
him to meet us now, badthings just gonna seem to happen when you
fellas are around. He just gotwork from the hospital, every was pronounced
dead. On a rival we hadhe was dead, and in that so
Richie was trying to revise him aswell. You say he just up and

(10:20):
had some kind of a fit,was it? And he just began convulsing,
most violent convulsions I've ever seen inmy full career. Unnatural about,
yes ah, And you naturally dideverything you could to help him till the
EMPs arrived. Of course, talkingto him about Chancellor's murder, you were
saying that during your conversation with him, he didn't seem unusually agitated. He

(10:41):
was as nervous as a fly ina hot plate in this chef. But
you're implying that we had anything todo. You suggestion that we killed him.
I was trying to see him.I'm a doctor, for Christ.
Hold on there, Doc diet Well, I'm not implying anything, gentlemen,
but I'm not gonna sugar coat iteither. It doesn't seem to look real
good from where I'm sitting. It'snot just up and dying with you two

(11:01):
in your cell. I'm supervised andall the FBI, of all them types.
Got a parenthics team in there rightnow. No more when they're through
the autopsy is complete. But fornow, I suggest you fellas make sure
you keep yourselves up animal. Ifyou take my meeting, so good for
you to now. I got chustakements. Yes, that's all I need

(11:22):
for now. You should be expectingto hear from me, though. Come
on, reaching forest, but ituh huh, Trady, go over to
more feet. Yeah, I thinkwe better start keeping a closer eye on
those two. They're all tight liftand I don't like it. A man.
I don't see if we can't thinkup a little more personal information in

(11:43):
this stuff. Yeah, I'm goingto look in on the circuits in the
cell real quick, and I'll meetyou in the in the cruiser. Yes,

(12:24):
things, doctor, helpman, andvery pulse like, how long has
he done like this? He begandescending into catatonia nearly four days ago,
Malcolm. It seemed mild enough atthat time, but there was no response
to an enormous diminus. I puthim under observation two days ago and started
the IV yesterday. Still, derigationcontinued, and his physical state versens,

(12:50):
as did ever increasing, it's stillno response. Any ideas on what could
have triggered this with Ralph none asyet. I am afraid this does not
reflect well at all on the abilitiesin judgment of doctor Atwott. Richard O'Brien's
physical condition was stable at least whilehe was under Richard's care, and he

(13:13):
was communicative. Has your review ofthis case led you to thinks that Atwater
wasn't competent or worse? The casehistory is a difficult tangle to interpret.
Malcolm and doctor Chandler's death leaves hisaccusation of misconduct against that Water completely unresolved.
Here these charge includes the most recenttests. Hey, just looking here.

(13:39):
His state appears to have worsened afterGeorge took over. It seems natural
to suspect that there was some sortof foul play with Lavard. Have you
been able to speak with him?No? Unfortunately I will not be able
to either. Mister Elliott passed awaythis morning in his cell with doctor Atwater

(14:00):
in attendance. Really, yes,very trappy. I don't know what to
think, but I must concern myselffirst and foremost with the effects of these
drugs and substances on mister O'Brien,not with who administered them. I cannot
afford to wait and see if thesemild treatments will eventually bring him around.

(14:24):
I fear I may have to resultto more dressl measure on and thinks that
aggressive chemical therapy will counteract this regressionin time. I am considering electroshock.
Actually, it seems to have explainedafter graduation is rather extreme. There isn't
a lot of leeway in a courseof treatment like desigmatic adversely effect. I

(14:46):
do not actuallyftly he will become ahopeless catatonic regardless, I don't see that
I have much choice unless you considersurgical actions. And doctor is the ultimate
decision is because if you really feelthat his condition is so critical, something
will have to be done. Whoeveris responsible why I can probably believe that

(15:09):
a man in our profession would dosuch a thing. I now sever their

(15:31):
order. There the hard weighs twohundred forty one point oh six s.
Graps. Oh, sorry, I'mlate back. I'm sorry. I don't
have much time either. You wouldn'tbelieve the crowd. I got down there
at the station and I thought you'dsend them all here. All these photographers

(15:54):
are making me feel like a model. So what can you tell me?
Well, not lackpeat damn this thingI've ever seen this one. He seems
to be in pretty fair health andthere I don't see any nervous disorders.
Past history then will explain the seizureof this magnitude. Look here, he's

(16:15):
bruised himself here and here from crashingaround. These bruises are from the CPR
seizure. The cause of that,I wouldn't say that for certain. I'm
not sure what else we've got here, So no, no history. What
induced it that they little marks?Now, he wasn't injected with anything,

(16:37):
and the stomach is green too.The one thing that gets me, Pete,
he's miss here. I'm not lookingat here, dot hel Pete.
Take a look here and here andhere you see this sort of ashen colored
tissue all down in here. Iam well, it doesn't make any sense,

(17:00):
but I'd have to say that itlooks like frostbite. Frostbite? What
the hell could cause that? Sachme, sir, hatan up and I
got that Atwater information you wanted.You're not gonna believe this. Oh yeah,
Atwater has been suspended from duty atthe sanitarium on ethical charges brought up

(17:21):
there late doctor Chandler something about usingthe legal drugs and said, you're wrong,
bus, I don't believe it.Official business. Almost sounds like grounds
for a motive and intent to me. And when you cover right down to
it, there should. There's beena lot of trouble around here since doctor
Atwater arrived. You want him?Pick that hell? Yes, Morris,

(17:44):
pick him up, pet him up? Yeah? Thanks, Helen, allright,

(18:21):
bye, we would have we haveto say while she spoke with McLeod
who said that Dermots really relapsed inmy absence to a critical point. Helpman
is planning electro shark treatments as alast ditch effort. We've got to get
him out of their drust. Andhe's got all the answers to all of
this in his head. We justhave to piece him together. What you

(18:42):
mean, bust him out of that? Now? How are we gonna do
that? I don't know. We'llWe'll have to figure something out, not
some sort of diversion diverse Richard.The place is crawling with the law,
the FBI, the doc. Hell, it's worse than alphabet, Sue,
I know, but we can't waitwhoever was manipulating Robert in this week German's
medication, it's still a threat.You hurt. Robert did not sell I

(19:03):
left your shock. Hell, it'sbarbarica enough. If someone tampers with not
equipment, he could end up toastor over could have vegetable. Either way,
we can't let that happen. Now, speaking of vegetables and toast and
soup and whatnot, I can't thinkon this empty stomach. Game boy,
I'm gonna fix me and pole boy, you wanna split it? Yeah?
Actually, and it sounds great.I haven't eaten a thing because I see

(19:26):
it. We got a major problemsalready, Richard, what's that you don't
have any hot sauce? Shuster inthat? Seriously though, one of the
chef's boys been sitting down some kindof unlock theodice car down the streets.
I can speak from. Yeah,why don't you keep down? But your
your father didn't there since this morning? Great, I can't believe they suspect

(19:47):
us of Robert's murder. You know, I got the chilling feeling is that
someone shut him up on Fuzzosla.Was that like any season you had at
the scene? No, you know, his eye was a little ice cream
creepy. It's almost last time.I know, I know. Robert's episode
is awfully hard to rationalize. Well, honestly, I don't think anyone's gonna

(20:07):
miss good old Robin. But weall in a live a beet now.
People are dying, but you wedon't have a choice justin whatever's going on
in the sanitarium, it's just asymptom of a something bigger. I'm sure
it's nothing good. Mm I'll boutall my fault. I should be in
Boston with doctor Wakefield by now.But that's good, but not with your

(20:29):
mouthful, right, mister Manderson,So don gritstaun what you did read?
Which it? I'll be about that, okay? Uh de w a Morris?

(20:51):
Right? What can I do foryou? Doctor Atwater? Never be
one for your arrest. It's justchurch around slowly and face the wall.
Okay, what's a charge? Thecharging connection with the desert? Robert Elliott,
I'll take your lunch hand behind yourback? Where's that carbon fella right

(21:15):
here behind your body? Fie,just all right, don't make no sudden
moves. And you know I've alwayswanted to say that. All right,
now, turn around real slow andkeep them hands up high. I'm all
right, all right, where'd youget that pistol? Hell, this is
my little squirrel gun. You knowyou shouldn't have slammed your car door,
deafuty, and you should have parkedout of sight. You making a big
mistake, Cardlings. This house isunder surveillance. You want to make it

(21:37):
out in the driveway. I don'tthink so. I had me a good
lookout the windows just now. Butyou care's something wrong. We're gonna play
hostage hostage. Yeah, I'm makinga good criminal, don't Richard. All
right, drop them cuffs and moveinto the side of the room. I'm
not joking. Now, nice andslow, pick up them cuffs, Richard.
All right, but if you staydown on your stomach and put your
hands behind your back, you knowhow it goes. Okay, okay,

(21:59):
all right, right now you howstanding for the car trip? Get down,
I said, come from richer.Okay, you stay on that side
to block him a shot, right, got it there? Alright? Back

little while. How can you beso sure? We probably didn't need it
as a whole roll a doctake.Yeah we did, let me tell you,
although we could have picked a biggertree. Well, well, he'll
still have to hide about twelve milesthat little stop in the ghost store,
and with a little luck we mighthave a few hours. Stop. Now,
we need to get us a newride and gets this bread crumb,

(23:37):
bread crumber, this car of yours. Did you ever read hansling Redel No,
But we gotta make them think we'reheaded somewhere else. See, sometimes
I think you had a deprived childhood, Richard. Okay, okay, let's
see it. Hey, Gordon Foxis out of town. That's right.
He took the train down to Bostonfor the conference, and he lives close
to the station. He probably lefthis car parked at home. Not bad,

(23:59):
riches, not bad. You're catchingon to all of this. Someday
you'll make a fine criminal. Thanks, thank you. There you go.
Why do I need a gun?Well, I haven't figured that out just
yet, but when the time comes, I'll let you know. Why do
