Dr. Claire Morton comes home.
WA: The most dangerous weapon on earth is a human being who feels
that a great wrong has been done to him. Last night Elliot
Carson was badly wounded and became a gunshot victim of George
Anderson's delusions of persecution, when he tried to step in
between George and Leslie Harrington.
Intro: A replay of the ambulance arriving at the Harrington house.
Dr. Rossi gets out of the ambulance and goes in the mansion
followed by EMT Frank.
Scene 1: Inside the mansion, Leslie asks how bad it is and if Elliot
Carson will live. EMT Frank and the ambulance driver put
Elliot on a stretcher and take him out to the ambulance. The
ambulance speeds toward Doctors Hospital.
Scene 2: In the hospital, Allison prognosticates, "Mother, he's going to
be all right. I feel it." In the operating room, Dr. Rossi
says, "There it is. It's against the side of the aorta. It's
fragmanted. There is a piece of it imbedded in the wall of the
aorta."
Scene 3: Betty comes in the Anderson house. Julie says, "I thought you
would still be at the hospital." Betty says, "Dr. Rossi sent
me home." Betty asks where George is. Betty says that she
doesn't think that they did anything wrong. Julie mentions a
hearing and sobs.
Scene 4: In the waiting room, Constance calls to Dr. Rossi and gets an
update on the condition of Elliot. EMT Frank tells Dr. Morton
that Dr. Claire had called from Miami. Dr. Morton thought she
should be in New York by that time. EMT Frank assures him that
it was a Miami operator that he spoke with.
Scene 5: Matthew Swain tells Dr. Rossi that Elliot's father, in Florida,
should be notified. Leslie comes in and Constance asks him why
he was there. Constance tells Leslie that he deserves an
answer.
Scene 6: Elliot is in an oxygen tent. He asks where he was wounded.
Rossi says the bullet was lodged behind the heart. He asks Dr.
Rossi about George. Rossi tells him that George is in custody.
Un-announced, Claire comes into the hospital and chats with
miss Choate. Claire is apparently one of the very few humans
that miss Choate as any use at all for. Claire says she will
wait in Dr. Morton's office.
Scene 7: Outside Elliot's room, Dr. Rossi and Dr. Morton discuss the
wounding of Elliot Carson. Rossi says that Elliot should pull
through. Leslie calls and talks with Rossi. Leslie says that
Elliot saved his life.
Scene 8: Claire waits in Dr. Morton's office. Morton comes in and talks
with Claire. Rossi knocks and comes in. A nurse interrupts
and calls Dr. Morton away. Mrs. Hoffman is being prepped for
surgery. Morton asks Rossi to take care of Claire.
Rossi and Claire are both embarassed but have a pleasant little
talk. Rossi mentions Vincent Markham. Claire asks Rossi to
tell her father she has gone home.
Scene 9: Norman Harrington asks Leslie why George Anderson wanted to
shoot him. Leslie doesn't have much of an answer.
Scene 10: Constance tells Allison to hurry or she'll miss her bus.
Allison says she will catch the next one if necessary. She
doesn't feel like rushing. They go in the Book Gallery and
talk about Elliot. Allison says the special thing about Elliot
is that he isn't really special at all. Allison leaves to
catch a municipal bus which she often rides to school. Julie
comes in and reports to Constance that George is back in the
sanitarium. Constance says that Paul is a dangerous man.
Julie says that she must know that George isn't a murderer.
Scene 11: Leslie calls to Paul Hanley and asks to talk with him for a
while. Leslie wants Paul to get in the car. He has some
things to say to him. They talk of Peyton Place. Leslie
drives off. Paul drives off.
Scene 12: Rodney Harrington comes into the Clarion to talk to Matthew
Swain. He wants to know what really happened. Matthew won't
reveal the conversation he had with Leslie. Rodney says he
only wants to help. Matthew explains to Rodney that he is the
Linotype machine repairman.
Scene 13: Paul and Leslie meet at the bluff. They talk of Elliot, George
and Elizabeth. [Good shot of Paul Hanley's british sports
car.] [Your humble reviewer does not what make the car is.]
Preview: Theodore Dowell talks with Leslie Harrington. Constance talks
with Matthew Swain. Elliot tells Leslie he wants his name
cleared. Leslie promises to do just that. [As it turns out
later, he does assist in getting Elliot cleared of the murder
of Elizabeth Hanley Carson.]
TD: What you're going to tell me this afternoon will be
used as evidence in a court of law.
LH: My relationship with Carson's wife was more than I
told you it was.
CM: It's Elliot. He's had a relapse. Would you go
over to the college and get Allison.
MS: Well, certainly, Connie, but ...
CM: He has to talk to her now.
EC: I want my name back.
LH: I'm going to clear you, Carson. That's a promise.
MEL: Leslie kept his promise. One of the very few that were kept.
Kenneth Markham-Leslie Nielson.
Dr. Vincent Markham-Leslie Nielson. [One should be astonished at the
credits for Leslie Nielson. One can access the web site, which
gives his credits.]
Head Nurse Choate is listed in the credits as "Mrs. Choate." It is
learned in episode 147 that her first name is "Esther." She is
unmarried.
