WA: It is not uncommon for Dr. Harry Miles to leave emergency
surgery and return home in the dark hours of the morning. But
today, at 4:00 a.m., he comes home knowing that somehow he must
deal with a growing family crisis. A crisis that was
interrupted by the medical emergency. Now, as he enters home
he makes a decision. A way of handling his own wife and son, a
way that will force them to come to him and tell him
everything.
Intro: Dr. Miles drives in the darkness and goes in his front door.
Scene 1: Dr. Miles has coffee and talks to his wife a short while. He
talks about the blood alcohol content of Fred Russell. Dr.
Miles tosses the detective's report in the fireplace.
Destroying evidence was a running theme in the series.
Scene 2: Dr. Michael Rossi goes to the old Carson (Mackenzie)
house to see Marsha. They kiss, they talk. She offers him
food. He asks where Carolyn is. Marsha tells him that Carolyn
is upstairs sleeping, that she has finally dozed off. Marsha
has been cleaning house.
Scene 3: In a quiet area off a corridor at Doctors Hospital, Carolyn is
wheeling around in a wheel chair talking to Jeff Kramer.
Carolyn says she expects Fred to die. Jeff offers to take
Carolyn to the wharf to eat seafood.
Scene 4: Betty Harrington, acting much like a Century 21 agent, shows a
couple the Rodney Harrington and Betty Anderson Harrington Cord
Harrington house. The man fusses at the lady for saying
positive things about the house. Steven comes in. He says
he's going after the will, without Betty, but by himself.
Scene 5: Carolyn is talking with her mother in Rossi's office. Marsha
mentions that neither of them has eaten for a long while. Dr.
Rossi comes in and Carolyn goes over to his bed and kisses her
father. Marsha joins them. Carolyn has an accumulation of
mis-information. They go back out in the corridor. The nurse
leaves Fred's room.
Scene 6: Rossi walks through the corridor into Fred Russell's room. He
finds Fred unconscious. Rossi goes out and tells Marsha and
Carolyn. Marsha says, "He's dead, isn't he?"
Scene 7: The phone rings at the Information desk. Police Sgt. William
Wilson Walker calls Dr. Rossi to check on Fred Russell's
conditon. Dr. Rossi informs the police sergeant that Fred has
expired. Rossi mulls over the situation.
Preview: Dr. Miles talks to his son. Norman and Rita talk. Rossi talks
to Steven.
DM: Nothing seems to be important to you anymore. What's the
matter. You're not man enough to say what you mean.
NH: The police are going to ask a lot of questions.
RJ: I'd do anything to help.
NH: What do you mean, anything?
RJ: I would lie my head off.
DR: One thing you need to know. Fred Russell named me as
being responsible for his injury.
