          Joe confesses to Michael.

WA:       Today Joe Rossi, Dr. Michael Rossi's young brother, is 
          determined to prevent Jill Smith from telling the doctor about 
          his past life in New York.  The criminal involvement that 
          forced him to run.  Joe Rossi's only weapon is a direct 
          confession.  That is, as direct as Joe can make it.  By 
          seemingly opening up his life to his brother Joe feels that he 
          can truly gain his brother's understanding, and he can nullify 
          anything that Jill Smith might say or do.

          south entrance of Doctors Hospital on Glover street.

          the Walk In sign off the door, will you?"   Joe says he wants 
          to set things straight.  He admits that he lied to his brother.  
          Joe says that the baby is Jill's baby and his.  He promised 
          Jill not to tell about the kid because he had been in trouble 
          in New York.  Joe says that the watchman at a warehouse was 
          hurt.  Joe says that he tried to stop the fight.  Don was 
          caught.  Don threatened Joe.  Joe says that there is no way he 
          can prove what happened.  Joe says that he is through running.
