Psych:9

Help me!

Help!

Help me!

Help!

Jim,

this is Roslyn, the friend I told you about.

Hey Roslyn. Good to meet you.

Hello.

So Beth has filled you in on what we're looking for?

Uh, collating all the ER records

so they can be shipped to storage,

then copying policies and procedures

and the templates for the QA forms.

So you've done this before?

Well, the last two ERs I worked at were closed down.

At this rate there won't be any emergency rooms left.

Well, in this case it's the whole hospital.

The building is being torn down as part of the land redevelopment.

Can I ask you something? Why do you want to work the night shift?

Well, my husband-- he drives a cab

and he works nights, so if I work days

then we never get to see each other.

Besides, you know, I kind of need the peace and quiet.

I've worked at the ER the last five years, so...

And you're not worried about being here alone,

you know, in light of what's been happening?

God, Jim, are you trying to scare her off?

Oh no, that's fine really. It's okay.

Well, I'm sorry about the state of the E.R.,

but there will be a 24-hour guard on duty upfront, okay?

Okay.

Welcome to St. John's.

Thank you.

So once each one's been labeled and collated,

ust mark the front of the box like so

and stack them in the laundry room.

Once we finish all the paperwork, we'll get to work

on copying procedure forms and what-have-you.

It's not exactly nursing,

but what are you gonna do?

How long have you worked here?

I worked lCU at County and then ER here for two years.

But I don't know, I never liked this building.

It's too old. Nothing worked properly.

Beth tells me you were born at this hospital.

Yeah, I grew up around here.

Oh, so then your charts must be buried

somewhere here in all of this.

Do you want a coffee or something?

I'm gonna get a coffee.

No, you know what? I'd better be getting home.

I normally catch the bus an hour before you're due on.

I just wanted to wait around and show you the ropes.

Anyway, if you have any questions,

Beth said she'd be stopping by later.

- Okay. - Okay?

Bye.

These files are endless.

By the way, one of the psych ward doctors got the same job as you,

so he'll be up on the fifth floor collating the psych ward records.

So you're not gonna be here alone.

Okay.

I'm gonna get back to County.

Beth, seriously, thank you,

really.

Good night.

Um, can l--?

I can't believe they closed down this hospital as well.

Do you know that the nearest E.R.

is now over 1 6 miles from here?

And that place is swamped.

Health care in this country--

it's going to the dogs.

I don't think you should smoke in here.

Why?

Because of all the sick people?

Uh, I'm just kidding.

It's plastic. I'm trying to quit.

Is there something I can help you with, Detective?

We found a woman's body over on 9th Street.

Another one?

I was just wondering if maybe you'd heard

or seen anything suspicious.

You think it's the same guy-- the one that the papers are calling

the Nighthawk or something?

Well, we don't know.

You know, I never understood that. Why pretend a serial killer

is some kind of animal or a comic-book hero?

It's ridiculous.

Well, it's publicity.

"Man Kills Woman"--

it just doesn't cut it as a headline anymore.

If we want the media's help,

we need to jazz it up a little bit.

You know, a lot of women around here--

they're not wearing their jewelry anymore.

Why is that?

They don't want to be next.

They don't want to encourage him.

Hmm, well, that's not why

I'm not wearing my wedding band.

Is that-- is that blood?

Nothing serious, I hope.

Just a paper cut.

Well, you're in the right place.

Thank you.

Did I frighten you?

I didn't mean to. You must be...

- Roslyn. - Roslyn. Roslyn, right.

- I'm Dr. Clement. - Hello.

Looks like these files belong down here

rather than on the fifth floor.

I just wanted to let you know

I was in the building so as not to startle you,

but I seem to have failed miserably in that regard.

No, Beth told me you would be here, so...

Yes, this place can be a little unsettling at times.

Yeah, I'm--

I'm just starting to figure that out.

Should I take that personally?

No, I'm sorry. No, I didn't mean--

I'm kidding. I'm kidding.

I don't know if you've met the security guard yet,

but he is-- yeah.

And I've been hearing some noises.

Really?

What sort of noises? Do you mind my asking?

Like singing.

Singing?

I think I'm being a little bit paranoid. I'm sorry.

No no no no, that's quite all right.

I'll tell you what: why don't I take a quick look around

just to make sure? Would that make you feel better?

A little, yeah.

Okay, all right.

Thank you.

Nothing here.

So you're-- you're British?

Mm-hmm.

I came over on a foreign-exchange program

as a med student

and, well,

never went back.

How is it you don't have

Iike an assistant or someone like me

to handle all the paperwork up there?

Well, the psychiatric department

doesn't quite have the budget of E.R.,

so some of us doctors agreed to a tradeoff.

And also some of the files

are a little bit sensitive, if you know what I mean.

That's it.

Seems to be all clear.

I'm sure it was just music from a passing car

or something that you heard.

I'm sure, yeah.

Um, if that security guard is bothering you, you know,

I can always talk to the administrator.

- Oh no. - No, I mean, it's not a problem.

You know, just knowing that there's someone else in the building,

I feel much better.

Okay, well, if you hear any more strange noises,

you know where to find me.

- Thank you. - Okay.

Cole, are you home?

It's Cole. Leave a message.

Hey, I thought you'd be home.

I guess you're putting in some overtime.

Anyways, listen, if I'm asleep when you get in,

do not wake me, because I'm beat.

Um, see you for lunch maybe. Okay, bye.

Hey!

What the hell happened to this place? Where is everybody?

What are you talking about? This place has been closed down for weeks.

And the closest ER now?

County.

Wait a minute. What happened to her?

The Nighthawk.

- Hey. - You scared me.

Sorry. Are you all right?

Hi.

Hey.

The guard let me in.

So you got a job in a bomb shelter.

Wow. Um, hungry?

It's your favorite.

I missed you the last couple days.

I really missed you.

Cole, Cole, stop it.

Are you okay?

Damn.

Where were you last night?

Um...

oh, I worked a double and--

wait for it-- I went to the gym. Told you.

What, at that time?

Well yeah.

I'm downtown. The gym's downtown.

I gotta take the opportunity when I can, you know.

God damn.
