“My Aim Is True” · Season 3, Episode 6

In this episode: Dr. White (2), Dr. Axelrod (2), Dr. Craig (1), Dr. Ehrlich (1), Dr. Fiscus (1), Dr. Morrison (1), Nurse Daniels (1)

Move your chair, Axelrod.

[Axelrod moves in]

I've reviewed the Colfax case, and I am not happy. What the hell is going on here?

WDr. Wade

I tried to tell Elliott-...

[Cuts Wade off] I have the floor, Dr. Wade. Now, my time is valuable. I don't like wasting it on conforming an open-and-shut case! Axelrod, I find your diagnosis entirely appropriate.

WDr. Wade

But...

The patient has a family history of heart disease, but the size and location of the occlusion poses no grave or immediate danger. She's young, compliant, and willing to work hard to avoid surgery. Adequate medical management should give her the same, if not better, chance of survival than a bypass. Case closed. Dr. Wade, I'd like to speak with you. Axelrod, get some rest. You look terrible.

Yes, sir.

[Axelrod leaves Dr. Craig's office]

What the hell were you trying to do? Bulldoze a patient into surgery?

WDr. Wade

I thought a bypass was necessary and expedient.

In a fifty year old. With heavy left occlusion, maybe! This woman presents no intractable angina.

WDr. Wade

Dr. London supported my diagnosis.

Oliver London?

[Wade nods her head, Craig is appalled with the answer]

The man puts Sweeney Todd to shame. He would operate for the common cold! Let me tell you something. I won't have cut-happy residents on my staff. There are too many surgeons already lining their pockets with unnecessary surgery. [hands her a folder] You blew this one, Wade. It better not happen again.

Hi, Wayne.

Wanna bet how long it takes this three-year-old to pass a mood ring?

Not a gambling man.

How about Peter? He's good at beating the odds.

[Morrison approaches White] Let's have a look at this skull series.

The waters' view is clear.

You think Megan and Timothy have changed much?

Probably. But they're still your kids.

I'm telling ya, I'm gonna put things back together with Myra.

Good. Then you can go up to the psych ward and tell Cathy Martin you're sorry you put her in a straight jacket.

Hey Fiscus, you shut up.

Jack, you haven't lived till you've seen Peter in action. I had the good fortune to catch his act once, and believe me, he's got a certain way with women. Unfortunately, it's a felony.

You know, you really oughta talk, Fiscus. There isn't a woman in this hospital you haven't hit on.

Took a lot of hard work, concentration, and a ski mask to get Peter where he is today. You know something for Myra's sake, I hope she's found another man.

[White and Fiscus have a scuffle]

[Stepping in to break up the scuffle] Enough! That's enough, all right? That's enough, Peter!

[Peter takes his X-rays and walks out]

Why can't you leave him alone? Why can't everybody just leave him alone?

He's doing a con job on you, Jack, and I don't know why you just lie back and enjoy it.

What brings you down here?

I came to see you.

You look different.

[Getting seductive] Do you like it? I did it for you. [Getting closer] I've been thinking about you, Peter. A lot.

[Peter approaches the door and locks it]

Wanted this for a long time.

[He makes out with her. She pulls out her gun]

Are you afraid?

I want you to be afraid. I want to see you afraid.

[shoves him] Not anymore. [points gun at him]

Now-Now what is that for?

It's for all of us.

What are you talking about?

Is this where you raped Cathy Martin?

Now don't be crazy.

You were gonna rape me, weren't you?

Look, you were coming on to me! I-I thought we were just having a little fun, you know.

Like the other women had fun?

Now look, Shirley...

What's the matter, Peter? Nervous?

Shirley..

Now you know what it feels like. Afraid.

Now please, this is...

Now, I want you to be afraid. Did you hit them? What did you make them do?

I didn't-I didn't...

I don't want to hear your lies anymore.

I didn't touch them!

Say it, Peter. Say it, you raped them.

Please.

Say it!

I raped them.

All of them?

No, no! No. I wanted Cathy Martin again but somebody else got her first.

Why Cathy?

Because she was the best. All right, all right. Look, I'll-I'll turn myself in. Okay?

Goodbye, Peter. [Shoots him. Walks up to the phone] Code blue. In the morgue.
