  44. 3:24nurse just climbed right in.

  63. 4:17>> Breakfast.
  64. 4:19>> Look at you.
  65. 4:25>> Honey, that's Luca Marchetti. Half of
  66. 4:29Chicago crosses the street when he walks
  67. 4:31by.
  68. 4:33At 4 in the morning, he couldn't hold a
  69. 4:34juice box straight. In here, he's just
  70. 4:37family.
  71. 4:39>> Professor
  72. 4:40>> Canoli for the nurses. Nobody ever
  73. 4:43brings him anything.
  74. 4:48>> Poor kid. I got here before they took
  75. 4:50him up, you know. Signed his forms
  76. 4:52myself.
  77. 5:00>> Who brought you in? drove myself.
  78. 5:12>> Arthur Kaine, I kept the books for
  79. 5:15Luca's father and now I keep them for
  80. 5:17Luca.
  81. 5:19You're the nurse who got into his car.
  82. 5:22>> Wrong car. Long night.
  83. 5:26>> Careful whose car you get into, dear.
  84. 5:36You said coffee isn't food.
  85. 5:39I've been standing here 20 minutes
  86. 5:41trying to work out how people say this.
  87. 5:43>> Say what?
  88. 5:45>> Breakfast with me. Usually I just tell
  89. 5:48people where to be.
  90. 5:54>> Bus stops right there. I've had enough
  91. 5:55of your car for one week. Ski.
  92. 5:58My dad collapsed on a train platform
  93. 6:00downtown. Heart attack. There's video.
  94. 6:0432 people walked around him. I counted.
  95. 6:08Bypass surgery.
  96. 6:10My mom and I have been paying it off for
  97. 6:126 years. So, no. I wasn't getting out of
  98. 6:16your car. I don't walk past.
  99. 6:21>> How'd you know that night that I hadn't
  100. 6:24eaten?
  101. 6:25>> Your hands. Faces lie. Hands don't.
  102. 6:30My dad said that.
  103. 6:3230 years fixing buses for the city.
  104. 6:36He could tell you who was hung over, who
  105. 6:39was scared, who was about to quit just
  106. 6:43by looking at their hands.
  107. 6:56You paid off my loan.
  108. 7:00>> It was nothing.
  109. 7:02>> That was my dad's heart.
  110. 7:04That was six years of my mother working
  111. 7:06nights. You don't get to make that
  112. 7:09nothing.
  113. 7:12I already called them. Every dime's
  114. 7:15going back to you. Next time you ask, I
  115. 7:18might even say yes.
  116. 7:22May I walk you to your bus?
  117. 7:29>> Who sends that kind of money back?
  118. 7:33>> May I send dinner to your floor?
  119. 7:38>> You could just send it, boss.
  120. 7:41>> She said ask.
  121. 7:45>> You may.
  122. 7:55for your car.
  123. 7:57May I call you on your break?
  124. 8:02>> You've got 4 minutes.
  125. 8:04>> Then I'll talk fast.
  126. 8:26101.
  127. 8:28Three nights out here in the cold and
  128. 8:30now you're running a fever.
  129. 8:32Whoever's paying you isn't paying you
  130. 8:34enough.
  131. 8:37Chicken soup. Bring the thermos back
  132. 8:39when you're done.
  133. 8:41And tell your boss if he wants to keep
  134. 8:44an eye on me. He can ask.
  135. 8:56>> Okay, Marchetti, you and me are going to
  136. 8:57talk about your little friend across the
  137. 9:09front, please.
  138. 9:14I didn't know where else to go.
  139. 9:16>> Whose seat is this? Luca.
  140. 9:20>> My daughter's
  141. 9:23>> it was her sixth birthday.
  142. 9:27She'd been begging to ride up front for
  143. 9:28a year and I always said no. That night
  144. 9:31she says, "Birthday girl gets the front
  145. 9:33seat, Daddy. Four blocks." I said,
  146. 9:37"Yes."
  147. 9:38Red light on Ashland.
  148. 9:41A car pulls up next to us. The Costas.
  149. 9:47She got hit in the shoulder. She lived.
  150. 9:53I had every window replaced, kept the
  151. 9:56sticker.
  152. 9:58Next morning, I signed her away.
  153. 10:01Her mother took her home to Evston. New
  154. 10:04last name.
  155. 10:08Arthur said a man with a kid is a man on
  156. 10:10a leash. He wasn't wrong.
  157. 10:15She turned 12 today.
  158. 10:18I drove up to Ridge View Middle School
  159. 10:19by myself.
  160. 10:22Every birthday
  161. 10:24I park across from wherever she is.
  162. 10:276 years and I've never once gotten out
  163. 10:30of the car.
  164. 10:34That's why my hands were shaking that
  165. 10:36night. Tommy got hit at a red light.
  166. 10:48>> What's her name?
  167. 10:51>> Sophia.
  168. 10:53>> Tell me about her.
  169. 10:55>> She kicks with her left,
  170. 10:58ties her laces twice around before she
  171. 11:00knots them.
  172. 11:03Laughs with her whole body. I could see
  173. 11:05that from across the street.
  174. 11:12That's how you tie yours.
  175. 11:18>> Next birthday, you get out of the car.
  176. 11:21>> I don't know how.
  177. 11:23>> Then I'll sit right here while you
  178. 11:25figure it out.
  179. 11:29Luca, the man with the canal, he lied in
  180. 11:33that room.
  181. 11:36Arthur,
  182. 11:39>> I can't tell you about my patient's
  183. 11:40night. That's Tommy's to tell.
  184. 11:43But I can tell you what I saw with my
  185. 11:45own eyes.
  186. 11:47You got the text. He was out of surgery.
  187. 11:50We pulled out and Arthur's car pulled
  188. 11:53in.
  189. 11:554:40.
  190. 11:57You were watching the road. I was
  191. 11:59watching the window.
  192. 12:02He said he signed the forms before they
  193. 12:04took Tommy up. When Tommy wakes up, ask
  194. 12:08him who did.
  195. 12:14>> Arthur's the only one of my people who
  196. 12:16knows where Sophia is. 6 years and she's
  197. 12:19been safe.
  198. 12:20>> Then checking won't cost you anything.
  199. 12:27>> Gus will take you home.
  200. 12:37Nice school. Everton's a long drive.
  201. 12:40Gus, two cars up to Ridge View now.
  202. 12:48It's me.
  203. 12:50I know. 6 years. Listen to me. Don't let
  204. 12:54her walk home this week. My people are
  205. 12:56outside the school. I'll explain.
  206. 13:07Somebody told the Costa's son 6 years
  207. 13:10and nobody knew. Did you tell the nurse
  208. 13:13about Sophia the school?
  209. 13:17>> Yes.
  210. 13:20>> You paid off her loan and she sent it
  211. 13:22back. I keep the books. I saw both.
  212. 13:26Smart girl.
  213. 13:28Then on Tuesday, the cost has paid it
  214. 13:30off. One of their companies have Gus
  215. 13:33check.
  216. 13:38>> It's real. Boss
  217. 13:43>> Costa's people made the payment. They
  218. 13:46did. I drove your cash over myself.
  219. 13:50>> You said nobody was going to go near the
  220. 13:52kid.
  221. 13:53>> And nobody will. Not once Luca stops
  222. 13:56being sentimental.
  223. 14:00Sunday dinner, you tell the table you
  224. 14:02saw the nurse with Costa's people.
  225. 14:06By Christmas, the families will want a
  226. 14:08man without a leash at the head of that
  227. 14:10table.
  228. 14:21>> You did it again. I told you to ask me.
  229. 14:24I didn't pay it. The Costas did. And
  230. 14:28they sent me this. Sophia's school.
  231. 14:35>> You're the only person I ever told about
  232. 14:37that school, Nina.
  233. 14:44>> You think I gave away where your
  234. 14:45daughter goes to school for a loan?
  235. 14:49I sent your money back, Luca. Why would
  236. 14:51I keep theirs?
  237. 14:55You get to be scared for her. You don't
  238. 14:57get to be scared of me.
  239. 15:02>> The second payment, I want it sent back.
  240. 15:05I don't care who it came from. It's not
  241. 15:06mine.
  242. 15:12>> If Luca didn't pay it, then who sent
  243. 15:16that guy outside my window?
  244. 15:22Tommy's awake. He's asking for you.
  245. 15:27>> Night before I got shot.
  246. 15:29I'm outside the princer's office. He's
  247. 15:32on with Joe Costa. Gives him a school up
  248. 15:36in Edmonton. I figured it was business.
  249. 15:41Then he sees me in the doorway. Says,
  250. 15:44"The kid heard me. Handle it."
  251. 15:49Next night they get me at the light.
  252. 15:54>> Who signed your forms?
  253. 15:57>> Me. A nurse held the killed bird. Nobody
  254. 15:59else was there.
  255. 16:05>> Arthur gave the costas that school
  256. 16:07before Nah ever got in your car.
  257. 16:12>> And he paid off that loan to hang it on
  258. 16:14her.
  259. 16:15>> He couldn't get past our guys at this
  260. 16:17door.
  261. 16:19So, he needed somebody to blame before
  262. 16:21Tommy wake up.
  263. 16:24>> I'm telling the cops, boss. They shot
  264. 16:26me.
  265. 16:31>> Then tell them everything and tell them
  266. 16:34where he'll be Sunday at 1:00.
  267. 16:38>> You want me to go get him?
  268. 16:40>> No.
  269. 16:42The families listen to Arthur. They hear
  270. 16:44it Sunday at the table in front of
  271. 16:47everybody.
  272. 16:49Ask the hospital for a secure room and
  273. 16:51an alias for Tommy.
  274. 16:53>> Hillary
  275. 16:54personally shipped.
  276. 16:58>> I was wrong. Sunday at my family's
  277. 17:01table, I stop hiding. You don't have to
  278. 17:03come. I'm asking.
  279. 17:07Gus is downstairs. If you don't want him
  280. 17:09there, wave him off.
  281. 17:22What's this?
  282. 17:25>> Let him up, Gus. He's bringing back my
  283. 17:27thermist.
  284. 17:32Name's Benny.
  285. 17:34Don't go tomorrow.
  286. 17:38>> Keep it. You're still coughing. And tell
  287. 17:41Mr. Marcheni I'm going.
  288. 17:44Mr. Martini is not my boss. Never was.
  289. 17:53>> Hey, that's Kane's driver.
  290. 18:00>> I thought Lucas sent him.
  291. 18:02>> Boss doesn't sends kids. He sends me.
  292. 18:12>> For six years,
  293. 18:14our boss has been hiding a daughter. You
  294. 18:17all know what I've always said.
  295. 18:21A man with a child is a man on a leash.
  296. 18:30>> I have one. Her name is Sophia.
  297. 18:34And somebody handed that child's school
  298. 18:36to the Kostas.
  299. 18:38Luca told that nurse where his daughter
  300. 18:40goes to school. The Costas paid off her
  301. 18:43loan on Tuesday. She's the traitor and I
  302. 18:46have a witness.
  303. 18:53Before anybody says a word, Thursday, I
  304. 18:57asked her the same thing and I was
  305. 18:59wrong.
  306. 19:01Everybody in this city reads my face.
  307. 19:04She's the only one who ever read my
  308. 19:05hands.
  309. 19:14Whatever happens at this table, I'm
  310. 19:17standing right here over the professor.
  311. 19:20Yes.
  312. 19:22>> Sit down, Luca. Let me
  313. 19:33paid in full twice. Once by him, once by
  314. 19:37somebody who wanted everybody at this
  315. 19:38table to see it. I sent them both back.
  316. 19:42Benny,
  317. 19:44you stood outside my window three nights
  318. 19:46running. You've still got my thermist.
  319. 19:49Tell them what you saw.
  320. 20:00Mr. Kane told me nobody would go near
  321. 20:02that little girl. He had me drive him up
  322. 20:05to Evon to look at her school.
  323. 20:08I drove the money for the nurs's loan to
  324. 20:10Costa's guy myself.
  325. 20:13And he told me to stand up here and say
  326. 20:15I saw this lady with Costa's people.
  327. 20:19I never did.
  328. 20:24What I saw was her carrying soup across
  329. 20:26the street to the guy who was spying on
  330. 20:28her.
  331. 20:32I'll drive you anywhere, Mr. Kane.
  332. 20:34I won't help you hurt a kid. And I won't
  333. 20:38lie about her.
  334. 20:42The boy's been sick all week. He doesn't
  335. 20:45know what he's saying.
  336. 20:48>> You told me you signed Tommy's forms,
  337. 20:50Arthur.
  338. 20:52He signed them himself.
  339. 20:56You pulled in at 4:40 to find out if he
  340. 20:58could still talk. He can.
  341. 21:06The night before they shot him, he heard
  342. 21:08you give Joe Costra that school
  343. 21:11a whole day before she ever sat in my
  344. 21:14car.
  345. 21:17The kid heard me handle it.
  346. 21:21So they shot Tommy at a red light,
  347. 21:25same as my daughter.
  348. 21:37Oldest rule there is, you don't touch
  349. 21:40the kids. Every family at this table
  350. 21:42looks after that little girl. Now Joe
  351. 21:45Costa hears it from me tonight.
  352. 21:47>> Cops.
  353. 21:52I'm not doing to you what you do to me.
  354. 21:54That's what changed.
  355. 22:14I put you in Sophia's seat
  356. 22:17and then I looked at you like you were a
  357. 22:19Costa
  358. 22:23and I was mad at you all week over a guy
  359. 22:25you never even sent.
  360. 22:28We're both bad at this.
  361. 22:32I'm not something you park somewhere
  362. 22:34safe, Luca.
  363. 22:36I've got a job, a mother, and a loan
  364. 22:39with my name on it. I'm keeping all
  365. 22:42three.
  366. 22:44>> Then I'll keep asking. You'll get sick
  367. 22:46of it.
  368. 22:48>> Then ask her.
  369. 22:52>> Sophia, you've been walking past her for
  370. 22:546 years.
  371. 23:00Sophie,
  372. 23:05her mother just called back. Sophia has
  373. 23:07been asking about the black car across
  374. 23:08the street every birthday since she was
  375. 23:10eight.
  376. 23:15Will you come with me?
  377. 23:17>> Front seat.
  378. 23:25It's not even her birthday.
  379. 23:28>> Good. You've sat through enough of
  380. 23:30those.
  381. 23:32>> I said I'd sit right here. I'm sitting
  382. 23:34right here. Faces lie. Hands don't. You
  383. 23:38want this?

  414. 25:476 years ago, a man collapsed on the Lake
  415. 25:49Street platform. He lay there 4 minutes.
  416. 25:5332 people walked around him. I've
  417. 25:56watched that video so many times. I know
  418. 25:58every face. You were number 17,
  419. 26:02brown coat.

  426. 26:28>> A nurse who picks her patients. And the
  427. 26:30papers say she picks mob bosses, too.
  428. 26:38Tonight you brought a man back and in
  429. 26:40the same breath you asked to be taken
  430. 26:42off him. Then you stood at his bed and
  431. 26:44told him he was number 17.
  432. 26:47>> I said it. Every word was true.
  433. 26:50>> That's the problem.
  434. 26:55One complaint from Mr. Prudy and it runs
  435. 26:58right next to this.
  436. 27:00The board picks a new chief medical
  437. 27:02officer next month.
  438. 27:06My name's on the list. I'm not having
  439. 27:08the mob nurse in the news that week.
  440. 27:14I've already called the nursing

  463. 28:25>> No.

  479. 29:14somebody else.
  480. 29:21Your father would have wanted to see his
  481. 29:23face. Dad got two more years. Every

  483. 29:29muscle.

  535. 32:45>> May I?
  536. 32:46>> No.
  537. 32:50>> I was going to say, may I drive you to
  538. 32:52the review?
  539. 32:55>> Yes.

  546. 33:14>> Friday. She answers for walking into
  547. 33:16your room last night.
  548. 33:19>> She saved.
  549. 33:22>> Dr. Ward says he did.

  556. 33:46>> Dr. Ward?
  557. 33:48>> Three things all on the record.
  558. 33:51Wednesday, she asked to be taken off a
  559. 33:53patient she just resuscitated.
  560. 33:56At his bedside, she told him he was
  561. 33:58number 17.
  562. 34:00And that night she walked into his room
  563. 34:03against a direct order.
  564. 34:07>> Nurse Kowalsski,
  565. 34:09did you go into that room?
  566. 34:12>> Yes.
  567. 34:14Pull the stroke alert log. It keeps the
  568. 34:16time, the phone, and the name of whoever
  569. 34:19called it.
  570. 34:26Stroke alert. 207 a.m. CCU12 bedside
  571. 34:31phone called in by Nina Kowski RN
  572. 34:34attending paged at 209. Dr. Ward
  573. 34:40I called CCU from home and told him to

  575. 34:44the room.
  576. 34:48>> Neurology gave him 10 minutes.
  577. 34:50>> She was at the glass alone, her hands
  578. 34:56shaking.
  579. 34:57Then she came in. She came back.
  580. 35:03>> He had a stroke yesterday. He doesn't
  581. 35:05know what he saw.
  582. 35:08>> Then pull the CU phone log.
  583. 35:14>> No outside calls to CEU between 1:40 and
  584. 35:17207. The first one came from your cell,
  585. 35:19Philillip. 214.
  586. 35:225 minutes after the page.
  587. 35:28Walking into a room to call a stroke
  588. 35:30alert isn't insubordination.
  589. 35:32It's the job.
  590. 35:34Good catch, nurse Kowalsski. You're back
  591. 35:37on the floor tomorrow night.
  592. 35:43Dr. Ward, until the board reviews this,
  593. 35:47you don't go near a patient and the vote
  594. 35:49waits.
  595. 35:53>> You were right, doctor.
  596. 35:55I do pick my patients. I picked him at
  597. 35:58207.
  598. 36:03>> Kowalsski.
  599. 36:04>> Yes.
  600. 36:04>> Henry Kowalsski's girl.
  601. 36:10>> How do you know his name?
  602. 36:16>> You read the papers. Everybody read the
  603. 36:18papers.
  604. 36:27He knew your father's name.
  605. 36:30>> It was in the papers.
  606. 36:32>> A man who walked past your father had
  607. 36:35himself wheeled into that room a day
  608. 36:37after a stroke for you.
  609. 36:41>> Guilt.
  610. 36:43>> May I see the video?
  611. 36:52Dad goes down here. 612 and 11 seconds.
  612. 36:551 2 3 17. Brown coat. He looks right at
  613. 37:00him. He keeps walking.
  614. 37:02>> Play it again. Don't watch his face.
  615. 37:06>> That's my line.
  616. 37:08>> You taught me. Watch his hand.
  617. 37:159 1
  618. 37:18>> No, he walked. I've watched him walk a
  619. 37:21thousand times. You've watched his face
  620. 37:22a thousand times.
  621. 37:24>> Everybody's on a phone.
  622. 37:27>> Then find out who called.
  623. 37:34>> Mom, do you still have the call?
  624. 37:38>> I came from the cemetery. March 14th.
  625. 37:42Your father called it his second
  626. 37:43birthday.
  627. 37:46After his surgery, your father asked the
  628. 37:49city for the 9-w call. He wanted to
  629. 37:52thank whoever made it.
  630. 37:55They sent the recording.
  631. 37:57No name.
  632. 37:59He played it every March. You never
  633. 38:02wanted to hear it.
  634. 38:05I didn't want to hear those four
  635. 38:06minutes.
  636. 38:09He never watched your video. He said he
  637. 38:12didn't care who walked away, only who
  638. 38:14called. Our
  639. 38:19records show one call for this incident.
  640. 38:22One.
  641. 38:26A man fell. Lake Street. The platform.
  642. 38:29He's gray. He's not breathing right. I
  643. 38:31don't know. CPR. I'm sorry. I'm so
  644. 38:34sorry. Please hurry.
  645. 38:37>> Sir, can you stay with him? Sir.
  646. 38:42>> 612 and 51. 40 seconds after dad went
  647. 38:45down.
  648. 38:50The ambulance got there in four minutes
  649. 38:52because he called at 40 seconds. Your
  650. 38:55father used to say he didn't walk past
  651. 38:58me, Dorca. He just didn't know how to
  652. 39:01stay.
  653. 39:03All this time I hated him and dad was
  654. 39:06trying to thank him.
  655. 39:11>> Brown coat. There was a man in a brown
  656. 39:14coat at your father's funeral, back row.
  657. 39:17He left before the end. And every March
  658. 39:2114th, red carnations on his grave.
  659. 39:25I always thought it was the bus union.
  660. 39:28This morning, for the first time, there
  661. 39:30weren't any.
  662. 39:33>> Because he's in my hospital.
  663. 39:36>> I want to see him.
  664. 39:38>> Let me go first.
  665. 39:43CCU short again. I need a float.
  666. 39:46>> I'll float. Give me 12.
  667. 39:49>> You sure?
  668. 39:50>> I'm sure.
  669. 40:01>> You called?
  670. 40:03>> Colin isn't helping.
  671. 40:06I was late for my shift. They'd written
  672. 40:09me up twice.
  673. 40:11I didn't know what to do with my hands,
  674. 40:14so I called and I kept walking.
  675. 40:20That's what's on your video.
  676. 40:22That's what I am.
  677. 40:25The papers called us the 32. I'm one of
  678. 40:28the 32.
  679. 40:32I read your father was looking for
  680. 40:34whoever called.
  681. 40:36I didn't think the man who kept walking
  682. 40:38deserved to thank you. the Carnations.
  683. 40:42>> Every year on that day, this year I was
  684. 40:46in here.
  685. 40:48>> Have we met? You asked me that.
  686. 40:51>> Your father's funeral. You spoke.
  687. 40:56>> I stood in the back. I couldn't I
  688. 40:59couldn't walk up to your mother.
  689. 41:01>> And when I said 17, you didn't deny it.
  690. 41:05>> You were right. I was number 17.
  691. 41:13Your father, what what was he like?
  692. 41:20>> Stubborn,
  693. 41:22fixed buses for the city for 30 years.
  694. 41:26He could look at a driver's hands and
  695. 41:27tell you who'd slept and who hadn't.
  696. 41:34>> I stared at your face for six years. I
  697. 41:36never once looked at your hands.
  698. 41:40that first night. Don't touch me. I'm
  699. 41:44sorry. I judge people too fast. I always
  700. 41:47have.
  701. 41:48>> You had every right.
  702. 41:52>> My mother wants to meet you.
  703. 41:54>> No. No. She shouldn't have to look at
  704. 41:58me.
  705. 41:59>> That's not your call. Not this time.
  706. 42:08Mrs. Kowansky, I'm Earl. Earluit. I I I
  707. 42:12walked past your husband.

  710. 42:24gave me two more years with him.
  711. 42:28>> He saw Nah get her ER badge. He danced
  712. 42:31with me at our 35th anniversary.
  713. 42:34I walked past him. I walked.
  714. 42:36>> You called. Then you came back. Every
  715. 42:40march 31 walked past and never looked
  716. 42:44back.
  717. 42:46Henrik always said, "Faces lie, hands
  718. 42:48don't."
  719. 42:54>> I didn't know how to stay. I didn't I
  720. 42:58didn't know how.

  722. 43:13>> Somebody goes down in front of you, two
  723. 43:15things. You call and you stay. Push hard
  724. 43:19and fast till help gets there.
