Gus sneaks out of Doctors Hospital.
WA: For Allison Mackenzie, the recovery from the effects of the hit
and run accident have been slow and difficult. But now she has
begun to remember some of the parts of her life she had
forgotten. She remembers the facts but she has yet to discover
their ultimate meaning.
Intro: The Pillory. The bandstand. Snow on the ground. Two men
going into Doctors Hospital. Allison wheeling around in her
chair.
Scene 1: Allison is painting with her left hand in the therapy room as
Russ Gehring works at his desk. They are talking as Rodney
Harrington knocks. Allison tells him to come in. Gehring
leaves. Allison had asked for Rodney to come see her. They
talk about the trial and their love for each other. Leslie
Harrington had gotten Rodney out on bail. This is a return
visit, for Allison had come to visit Rodney in jail. Rodney
told Allison that he could see the square from his cell.
Rodney tells Allison he needs her.
Scene 2: Dr. Rossi runs into Rodney at the Information Desk and this
gives Rodney an opportunity to inquire about Allison. Rossi
tells Rodney that her adjustment may take some time. Rodney
indicates the trial will last about three more weeks. He may
have only three more weeks of freedom.
Scene 3: Norman and Rita enter their apartment. There is a dart board
in the background. They domesticate. Norman asks for his pipe
and slippers, but decides to settle for his tennis shoes.
Rodney comes to pick up some belongings. Rita invites Rodney
to dinner. Rodney declines and leaves.
Scene 4: Stella knocks and enters Dr. Rossi's office. Stella says that
she was in the lab all afternoon. Rossi says he's all out of
banter. They talk about Allison and the trial. John Fowler
comes in to talk to Stella Chernak. Rossi leaves saying he has
a house call to make. He wants her to testify on Monday.
Fowler tells her she is a very important witness. Stella asks
Fowler if he knew that her father was fired by his majesty
Martin Peyton's mouthpiece Mr. Schuster. Fowler tells her he
intends to win.
Scene 5: Fowler runs into Russ Gehring maneuvering Allison around in her
wheelchair. Fowler talks to Allison about her being hit by the
car. Allison says she remembers that it was a dark bright
colored, blue or green car that hit her. Gehring seems to be
opposed to having Allison answer any questions. Fowler thanks
her and leaves.
Scene 6: In the hospital, Stella comes to visit her father, Gus Chernak,
who is in bed. Gus says it was a dumb thing he did, and that
he is sorry, sorry that he was caught. Stella chats briefly
and leaves.
Scene 7: Gus is seen dressing and sneaking out of the hospital.
Preview: Betty talks with Steven. Rodney talks with his father, Leslie
Harrington. Stella talks with Rossi.
BA: Norman isn't Rodney and he needs have someone. And if
he's willing to take on the responsibility of marriage,
that's his business.
RH: Nothing's simple anymore, is it? A man can't even sneeze
in this town without everybody wondering how it's going
to affect my case.
SC: We lie ourselves right into our graves. What do you want
me to tell you?
MR: The truth.
Gus Chernak-Bruce Gordon, [Frank Nitty in the TV series Untouchables].
