Kingdom Hospital (2004) s01e10 Episode Script

On the Third Day

- Is that song about Jesus? - Yes, a good man.
Some say he was more than a man.
Bringing up the sheaves Burning all the leaves We shall come rejoicing, bringing up the I've seen you two before.
Sowing in the morning Sowing in the evening Sowing in the noontide and the dewy eve When the showing's over We shall retract Something like that.
Not feeling so good.
Now I feel better.
- Are we in trouble? - He may forget.
He was drunk.
- But he may not.
- He may not.
Hello.
This is Maintenance.
- Mr.
Goode? Is that you, John? - No.
Johnny's got the week off.
I think he went to the casino.
You know, Foxwoods? This is Jack Handlemann.
This is Dr.
James, Mr.
Handlemann, the chief hospital administrator.
There's a car in the lot with an apparently defective alarm.
It's very noisy.
I was wondering if you - Say no more, Doc.
I'm on the case.
- Thank you.
And enjoy the fresh morning air.
Thanks.
Reverend Jimmy? Oh, hell.
Reverend Jimmy! Oh, God.
Reverend.
What happened? Are you all right? Who did this to you? They didn't know what they were doing.
Look.
Don't try to talk, Reverend.
You're hurt bad, but you're going to be all right, okay? We're going to take care of you, all right? It's done.
No.
Don't say that, Rev.
Please, Reverend.
No.
Wait, just Come on, Reverend.
Oh, man, crack addicts.
Man.
Damn old crack addicts.
Sorry, Rev.
You was a good man.
The food bank, the AIDS tests and even the book club, man.
You was a good man.
Look here.
Here you go.
Here's your glasses.
Somebody! Anybody! Help! Help, somebody! The Reverend is dead in the alley down the street.
He's dead.
But he's still bleeding.
You've got to see this.
- I think he's doing miracles.
- What do you mean, he's dead? It's really gone.
- What's gone? - I had a cut on my face and it's gone.
I was drunk as a skunk.
Now I'm sober.
Reverend Jimmy healed me from his cross of death and pain.
I'm healed.
Praise God.
You gotta see this.
You have to see this before he finishes, if possible.
Come on.
I want you to see this.
The alarm on my monitor went off as soon as he started drawing.
The pressure's building, I'm afraid.
It's the black voices.
They're the real problem, you see.
- The black voices - I'm sorry.
Excuse us, Mr.
Schwarzton.
There's going to be another earthquake.
I need an alcohol rub.
Nurse! My feet are on fire.
- Do these make sense to you? - What is this? Peter? Can you hear us? If you can hear us, nod.
That's good, Peter.
Thank you.
What is this? What are these tools? I mean, they're horrible.
Peter, does this have anything to do with Mary? This room.
Peter, is this where she lived? Peter, is this where Mary died? Excuse me.
Out of the way, please.
Coming through.
Move aside, folks.
I'm going to need a glass of water.
Could you get me one, too? Sure, sister Liz.
You betcha.
You're not going to tell me this guy is dead.
He's still bleeding.
It's a little bit less now, but - What have we got? - I don't want to even guess.
Folks, this is no water anymore.
It's wine.
What the hell? Liz? Excuse me, boys.
I think I know a miracle when I see one.
Praise God.
Praise God for Reverend Jimmy.
Praise God for the time Reverend Jimmy Criss spent on earth.
Okay, doll.
In three, two, one.
This is Celeste Daldry, Channel 9 News, and I'm here at Kingdom Hospital where a grisly crime and rumours of miracles have galvanised this poverty-stricken neighbourhood.
Yesterday afternoon, James Criss, the Reverend Jimmy to his flock was discovered crucified on a chain-link fence not far away.
Later, at his street-front mission, witnesses say wounds were healed and tap water from the kitchen sink was turned into wine.
Excuse me, Doctor? You are a doctor? Celeste Daldry, Channel 9 News.
- Could I have a moment? You are Doctor - Stegman.
Neurosciences.
Chief of Neurosciences.
And you know about the street priest that was brought to the hospital yesterday? Yes.
It is unfortunate.
This is a bad neighbourhood.
Too many immigrants.
I mean, the hospitals in Boston are less troubled.
The people here are waiting for autopsy results.
Baseball season's over.
They've got to root for something, right? Could you tell us who will be performing the autopsy? Dr.
Havens, I imagine.
He's the pathologist on call.
Excuse me.
I have some surgeries I must - Just one more question, Dr.
Stugley.
- Stegman.
- Yes.
- Stegman.
Could you give us the opinion of a man of science on the belief of these people that there may be more miracles yet to come, that tomorrow on the third day, the Reverend Jimmy may actually rise from the dead? In my opinion, they should all be sterilized and sent to the gulags of Siberia as slave labour.
How eloquent.
Film at 11:00.
Excuse me.
If they run that on the news, he'll be lynched.
Good.
It's all right.
I just came down here for a little privacy.
It's a madhouse outside, down at the mission, too.
Mrs.
Druse kindly volunteered to help serve lunch.
Tuna sandwiches from the takeout place up the street.
I should be helping, too, but He was such a good man.
I'm sorry, Liz.
I had no idea you were even associated with the mission.
I've been there almost five years.
I play the piano and help with AIDS testing.
I'm sorry, too, but if I'm not doing rounds with my dad in half an hour I'll be even sorrier.
Shut your head, Elmer, if you want to get your hands on the other head.
And the water really did turn into wine.
I saw it, and I wasn't the only one.
We're very sorry for your loss.
Come on, Elmer.
Time for you to get ahead in the world.
That is, if you get a certain piece of paper.
First show me what you've got.
That was the deal.
- Excuse me.
- Shouldn't you be in bed? Yeah, but look.
Interesting.
I ought to be on rounds.
I'm late.
- Where is this? - It looks like the morgue.
- It's part of the Old Kingdom.
- Is anyone currently down there? They should be doing the autopsy on that minister.
We have to be moving along.
We've got to get them out.
This will be the epicentre of the quake.
You see it here on the screen.
There are none so blind as those who will not see, but you will see.
- You will - Call the doctor, call the nurse.
This guy's goofy and getting worse.
Nurse! Come on, Professor, time for a nice yummy HALDOL lollipop.
But the lady said there were people down there.
Who are you? Just a friend, Prof.
A guy who wants you to know it's too late.
Come on.
Let's go.
Stab wound to the right upper quadrant of the abdomen, punctured the liver.
Mechanism of death was haemorrhaging and exsanguination from the stab wound.
Manner of death, homicide.
Dr.
Massingale? I concur.
I will submit the appropriate paperwork.
We are concluding at 11:37 a.
m.
This is Dr.
Henry Havens.
I was assisted by Dr.
Lona Massingale.
Still bleeding over 24 hours after death? And since there's no blood left in him.
Where's it coming from? Not a word about this in your report or mine.
Is that understood? Hey, did somebody order some sandwiches? Finally, the sandwiches.
Bobby, you get them, please.
- Where'd you get that, Mama? - Like Nurse Hinton said: "These people can be very generous when they're sober.
" Hurry up, Bobby.
- Could you help me? - Yes, ma'am, Mrs.
D.
I've got an order for Druse.
A dozen tuna fish.
No, no, it was supposed to be for nine dozen.
Criminey.
Does that include the tip? Not again.
There's nothing to fear this high up.
But if there are people down below That wasn't so bad.
Where was I? "So in conclusion, I feel " Yes.
I feel that Operation Morning Air is my greatest legacy.
He even asked for a tip, Mama.
Can you believe it? I just told I thought you said that there was only a dozen sandwiches.
There were.
I swear.
One bag.
Reverend Jimmy scores again, people.
There's plenty of food here for everybody.
Come on, let's eat.
Don't forget to give thanks to the Reverend.
Praise the Lord.
Come on.
Blondie? Where are you, boy? Who's there? Hello? Anyone there? Is that you, Dr.
Havens? And Lona Massingale.
Otto? Yeah, Otto.
Can you get back to the elevators, Otto? No, I don't think so.
It looks like we're trapped down here.
- What is going on down there? - Well, never mind.
The issue under discussion is that damn Klingerman anaesthesiology report in Medical Records.
Now, if you could just obtain that and destroy it for me.
Lf Well, I have some time off coming.
So do you.
How about a week in beautiful historic Salem? - Just the two of us? - How wonderful.
I know, but I really wouldn't enjoy it if I knew that that Klingerman report was still out there, you know? Now, I know that Mrs.
Powell is integrity incarnate but I also understand that she takes an hour off for dinner at the Pier Restaurant every Monday night at 8:00, sharp.
She's like clockwork.
And we would leave for Salem when? Would Wednesday morning suit you? Yes.
Monday night at 8:00, Medical Records the Mona Klingerman anaesthesia report.
Exactly.
I'm already late for rounds.
With three people trapped in the basement I'm willing to bet rounds have been cancelled.
Who is it? Are they all right? - It's Henry, Lona, and Otto.
- Lona? She and Henry were concluding the autopsy when the quake hit.
They've got air, and the shaking's stopped.
It's just a matter of digging them out.
It's apt to be slow.
And now, you listen very carefully to me, young Dr.
Traff.
When Stegman stole Chris' work, my patience with him ran out.
- No more Mr.
Nice Guy.
- Steg's the Devil.
No, Elmer, that would be me.
I'll hang Chief of Neurology Stegman as high as Haman and you are going to help me do it, Elmer.
Bring me the copy of Mona Klingerman's anaesthesia report.
You will find it in Medical Records.
But Mrs.
Powell, she's integrity incarnate.
Yes, even integrity incarnate has to eat.
She takes dinner every Monday at the Pier between 8:00 and 9:00.
Where are you going to be at 8:15 on Monday, Elmer? Medical Records.
Very good.
You bring me that report, I will hand you this key to yon refrigerator Tuesday morning.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to see if I can help those construction boys.
I want to come, too.
I hope Otto and the other people will be okay.
- There are enough people praying for them.
- They'll be fine.
I received a message from my spirits.
Meanwhile, have you still got that key card that Mrs.
Powell gave you? Mama, I can't.
You know Mr.
Bates.
He's the medical librarian.
He's a good guy.
He's a believer and he told me Mrs.
Powell goes to dinner every Monday night at 8:00 sharp.
That gives you at least an hour to get in there and go through the Medical Records, see what you can find on Mary Jensen.
We have got to lay that poor girl at rest before something really terrible happens.
Honey.
Do you not know that this can rot your gums? How many times do I got to tell you this? This is Celeste Daldry, Channel 9 News.
The scene here at Kingdom Hospital is beyond belief - as 1,000 people - 2,000, easy.
As 3,000 people wait for the ultimate miracle on this, the third day after the death of supposed miracle street priest James "Jimmy" Criss.
Technically, it's only the second day.
Don't confuse me with the facts, okay? Okay, give me a count.
Three, two, one.
And what about the people trapped below right outside the autopsy room where Reverend Jimmy lies? You have to wonder what they're thinking about as the light on this, the third day, dawns in the west.
East.
As the light of this, the third day, dawns in the east.
What are they doing? One, two, three, shoot.
Scissors cut paper.
No, we've got rocks, Otto and rocks break scissors.
Sorry.
Hit me one more time.
Unit 14 to Unit 3.
- How are you guys doing out there? - We're working on it.
The sandwiches are left over from what the folks across the street call "the miracle lunch.
" They're a bit stale, but Any kind of food would seem like a miracle this morning.
- How much longer? - We're getting there, ma'am.
A few key pieces, and we'll be through.
We just have to be careful.
Why don't you get some rest, Liz? I've never seen anything like it in my life.
Neither have I, Mrs.
Rickman.
What are they waiting for? Reverend Jimmy to come back to them, I guess the ultimate miracle.
May I tell you something? Sure, if you'd like.
I'd get your husband out of Kingdom Hospital if I were you.
I know, I'm an alcoholic and a fool when I drink but I've seen things since I came here that scare me to death and I think they're real.
There's another hospital underneath this one.
A ghost hospital.
It's real.
The black voices are real.
They're people.
Spirits that have been trapped.
There's a deadly harmonic building up.
The next earthquake will be very big.
It could rock this hospital off its foundations.
He can't be moved.
He's not ready yet.
Well, that's unfortunate.
Is he right? - He is, isn't he? - Yes.
When I ring my bell again, it won't be for one or two.
It will be for the hundreds.
Is there any way to stop it? The dreamers, the special dreamers.
- Who are the special dreamers? - Dr.
Lona knows.
One, two, three, shoot.
No.
You win, Otto.
Come on, Otto, it's revenge time.
Whack us.
What's happening to me? Otto, are you all right? I can see.
Every strand.
Your face.
I can see your face.
It's beautiful.
Thank you, Otto.
Blondie! You're beautiful, too, Blondie.
Easy, bud, don't get carried away.
Otto, how many do you see? Three on one hand, three on the other.
I haven't been able to see for 25 years.
And the doctor said that I would go blind in seven years, that I would have to retire.
And now I can see.
- Havens? - Hook? What's going on in there? It's beautiful.
It's white light.
Doc, be careful.
Three, two, one.
- You live near here, Andrea? - Right next to where Reverend Jimmy died.
Temporarily died.
- So you knew the Reverend Jimmy Criss? - Yes.
He was a wonderful man.
And why don't you tell us about what it is you're holding? These are my braces.
I wore them my whole life until this morning.
I was at the mission, when all of a sudden I was filled with this beautiful white light.
And I could walk.
More than walk.
Look.
Praise God.
Thank you.
You and all these others, you're waiting for what exactly? For him to raise himself up.
The rock will be rolled aside.
And he will live again.
- Hallelujah.
- Amen.
Onward, Christian soldiers marching as to war With the cross of Jesus This is Celeste Daldry, Channel 9 News.
And like everyone else here, I'm waiting for a miracle.
Liz, the rescue team is through.
She's exhausted.
Come on, let her sleep.
Hey, Doc.
Guess what? You got something to say to me, you say it.
The guys who tagged your car I saw them again.
Day before yesterday.
A guy and a girl.
- Young - Who are they? Tell me.
Money talks.
You'd better not be lying.
I've looked everywhere for a couple of young interns or orderlies in white uniforms.
No, that's just it, Doc.
They ain't wearing white ones anymore.
They're wearing pink ones.
They must know you're looking for them.
You all right? What is that? Oh, my God.
Look.
Where did he go? He's still there.
Don't you see? I do.
My eyes have never been better.
- Good God, what now? - This belongs to the people outside.
Let's take it to them.
Liz? Wake up, Liz.
You're alive.
There's just time if you hurry.
Now, listen to me.
Wait.
Celeste Daldry, Channel 9 News, are you Dr.
Havens? Hook.
He's Havens.
- What have you got there? - He came to me.
I saw him.
I put my arms around him.
- Are you speaking about the Reverend? - Jimmy.
Yes.
Dr.
Havens, Dr.
Hook, what exactly is going on here? Just another day in the Kingdom, ma'am.
We have bad ones, and sometimes we have good ones.
Folks a friend of yours has sent you something.
Something for you to keep.
Something for you to think about.
Maybe even dream about.
Dr.
Havens, would you assist? Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow Praise Him, all creatures here below Praise Him above ye heavenly host Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost
