Diagnosis Murder

Ladies and gentlemen,

I should like to make a toast, if I may.

First, of course, to tomorrow's bride and groom,

to Becky and Phil.

Becky, you're lovelier

than you were the first time I met you at my office.

Of course, the first time I met her in my office,

she was six months old and had the sniffles.

To the bride and groom, Becky and Phil.

Hear, hear.

Cheers, hear, hear.

Uh, Martin, the first time I saw you,

you didn't look so pretty.

I had pneumonia and you were tapping my lungs.

The beginning of a beautiful friendship.

To the father of the bride,

my good friend, Martin Garfield.

Ditto.

To Daddy-in-law Garfield,

the most generous father

two lucky daughters could ever have.

Rick, please.

Daddy, this has been lovely.

Oh, Becky.

Listen, you know you're both very welcome

to stay the night. We have plenty of space.

Sure. Ilene and I only take up one room.

Rick, you're a jerk.

Phil has some last-minute packing to do before tomorrow.

Okay.

I'll get that, sweetheart.

Oh, look at the time!

I have to stop by the hospital on my way home.

I'm going to walk you to your car.

You really are rude.

It's not the right time for it, Stuart.

I plan to deposit my...

Stuart, what are you doing here?

I brought a present for the bride.

You're drunk.

I tried to stop him, Martin.

And you forgot to send me

an invitation to the rehearsal dinner.

Martin, your own partner!

What were you thinking?

I think you ought to leave.

For you, sweetheart.

Something... Oh, I'm sorry.

Something expensive from the shop.

You say what you will

about my business sense.

I have exquisite taste.

And now, I will go home.

Martin, he's in no condition to drive.

Is there someplace he can sleep it off?

Uh, the downstairs bedroom.

Come on, Stuart.

Well, I thank you for your graciousness and hospitality.

I'll see you all tomorrow.

Rick, you'd better put that on the table

with the other gifts in the parlor.

Becky, I'm so sorry.

You can't make everything perfect, Dad.

We'll see you tomorrow.

Big day tomorrow.

I'm sorry.

He's down for the night.

Good night, Ruth.

Good night, Mark.

I'll check on the other people here.

See you tomorrow.

Uh, Mark, your son Steve,

is... is he still with the police?

Yes, why?

Uh, I may want his advice.

What are you talking about?

Uh...

Never mind.

Uh, Becky's getting married tomorrow

and I think I'm just feeling a little old.

You know... Forget it.

Some useless advice from your doctor,

get a good night's sleep.

Wow!

Take it easy.

Take it off.

You two okay? BOTH: Yeah.

What happened to him?

Don't ask.

He, uh, broke his leg trying to get a patient out of the elevator.

Elevator stopped between floors,

the patient started hyperventilating.

Eddie did whatever he had to do.

I'd say he was a hero.

Hey, good man, Eddie.

Do me a favor, Sal, take him to orthopedics,

all right? Eddie, I'll talk to you later.

Why isn't he in ER?

This is the ER!

We lost our lights when we lost our main power.

We're on generators but the lines to the ER

and half the operating rooms were cut.

This place is a mess.

Um, Dr. Friedland's using your office

as an emergency maternity OR.

He had a mother in full delivery

when the quake hit. Can you believe that?

Dr. Sloan!

Amanda, come here.

You're going to need a new desk.

Oh, great.

Donna, listen, move the patients in 104...

This man's in shock.

Nurse, I need some blankets.

I need his legs raised immediately.

Give him one milligram IV Atropine, stat.

IV Atropine, stat!

Mark, that's...

Thank God you're here.

I'm calling a meeting of all department heads in 20 minutes.

Good. I'll be there. Are you okay, Norman?

I can't reach my mother.

The phones in the valley aren't working.

My sister Maria is driving over

if she can't get through.

I'm sure she's all right.

How is your son?

Well, his watch commander called. Said he called to say he was okay.

I'm sure he has his hands full now.

As do we all. But we have things to do here

and that's what I have to think about.

I wish I could reach my mother.

Nature is humbling us.

God bless.

Have the nurse page me when you get him to the floor.

Mr. Briggs. Hey.

Oh, my goodness. Look at those shoes.

I've never seen those slippers before.

How did you do that?

Oh, that's, uh, that's nothing.

Uh, I know how it happened.

Jack tried to get in the doorway

when the earthquake hit

and he forgot to open the door first.

Don't listen to her. That's not what happened.

What do you mean that's not what happened?

You panicked.

I did not panic.

You did too panic. I did not.

Big time panic, panic, panic, panic... Why don't you stop?

Okay, come on, you guys.

Jack!

Jack?

Jack!

Aftershock.

They, uh, they happen after earthquakes.

Yeah, we know.

And according to Cal Tech,

they could go on for months.

Duh!

Uh, next time you duck for cover,

save me a little room under there, will you?

You got it.

All right. This shouldn't hurt too much.

Here we are.

It'll be fine. Just a little scratch.

Excuse me. Ruth?

Oh, hello, Mark.

Ruth, are you all right?

I was just looking...

Rick and Ilene were here.

Ruth, where's Martin?

I don't know.

Is there a phone?

What?

I have to call Henry, my jeweler.

Look, my necklace broke. I hope he can fix it.

Oh, oh!

There you are. We've been looking for you.

Ilene?

Your stepmother's apparently in shock.

Where's your father?

What? He's not here?

No, don't you know where he is?

No, we... we all got separated in the quake.

I mean the house practically fell down around us.

And... And the police came when we were climbing out.

They... They brought us here.

Yeah, we were lucky to get out alive.

What about Martin?

You know something, I think I saw him go

with Stuart Westlake in another one of the police cars.

Yeah. I mean, everything was so crazy.

I'm sure he's all right.

I need a telephone.

Where do I find a telephone?

Ruth, um... Wait!

Orderly, would you take care of that woman, please?

Hey, Dad.

Steve, I tried to call you.
