Dr. Giggles

---

We've negotiated the outer epidermis

and the subcutaneous fat layer.

Notice that the incision runs parallel

to the muscle cells.

This is to ensure proper healing.

Continuing with a lateral incision

across the myocardium...

...we expose the chordinae tendinae.

As you can see, premature

ventricular contraction has set in.

And is followed by full cardiac arrest.

Respiration has bottomed out.

All brain function has ceased.

The patient...

...has expired.

You win some, you lose some.

And now, ladies and gentlemen...

...you are about to experience...

...the cutting edge of medicine.

Let's open this baby up

and see what it'll do.

What is it, doc?

It's patient 193.

- Sh*t, that's Dr. Giggles.

- Who?

It's his nickname.

Nobody knows his real ID.

Delusional, acute schizophrenic

with an IQ somewhere in the stratosphere.

We're talking prodigy.

He thinks he's a...

doctor.

Jesus, what the hell...

Mm, Dr. Philips.

Dr. Philips, this isn't really the place.

He should have kept his hands

to himself.

What the...?

The patients.

He's released the patients.

Laughter is the best medicine.

Mmm. Ha-ha-ha.

- Aah!

- Check-out time.

Hey, Jen.

- Ask me why summer's off to a great start.

- Why is summer off to a great start?

I called Johnson at lunch. I got a job.

Playing old favorites for the locals

at his restaurant every Wednesday.

That's great, Max.

I don't know, my math's pretty shitty...

...but I think that leaves us six nights

of the week to engage in unsafe practices.

Heh. You wish.

Why do I detect a disturbing lack

of jubilation here?

I mean, maybe you haven't heard,

but school's out, you know?

The central government's collapsed.

People are free.

L... I just didn't get much

sleep last night, that's all.

Maybe it's time

for the famous Max Anderson stress test.

I hope you two can breathe

through your ears.

Yeah, as long as you don't plug them off.

First time I've ever been accused

of talking too much.

- You guys know where to meet tonight?

- Eight o'clock, Breeder's Hill.

A fitting name, don't you think?

You know, we might be

a little bit on the tardy side. Heh.

Yeah, we're going on a little expedition.

Expedition? You guys bringing tents?

- No, these guys have a big surprise planned.

- Right.

Speaking of big surprises,

the twin peaks.

Let's climb.

See you guys later.

Party down tonight.

Hi, guys.

I better get going. I gotta stop by

Johnson's and fill out some stuff.

- Okay.

- You sure nothing's wrong?

Yeah.

Pick me up at quarter to eight?

Quarter to eight.

Look up for me.

Now, I want you to sit up straight.

How's your dad doing?

Give me a deep breath.

All right. Again.

Hmm.

When will you know if you need

to you know...

Replace the valve?

Well, it's way too early to tell.

We'll have to wait and see

what we get on the monitor...

...when you come back next week.

- Next week?

Jennifer, don't forget that

a mitral valve prolapse...

...is not that serious.

Even if we have to operate,

we do them all the time.

I'll try to remember that.

It's more important that you remember

to avoid strenuous activity.

No coffee, no tea

and especially no alcohol.

It's all in here.

Anne will show you how to put

the monitor on. I'll see you next week.

Erica, what in the world's

the matter with you?

- Oh. It's okay, Ms. Henderson.

- Hey, that's an odd-looking radio.

- It's... It's not really a radio.

- It isn't?

Well, what is it then?

I'm kind of in a hurry.

Can I talk to you later? Okay?

Hmm.

Hi, Jennifer.

Hi, Billy.

Jen, honey, is that you?

Hi, Daddy.

Hey. Hi, sport. Come on in.

I'm sorry I couldn't get to the doctor.

If I don't upload these figures by 6:00...

...I'm gonna be selling door-to-door.

So, what did Chamberlain say?

Same thing he said last week,

wait and see.

Got a new fashion accessory.

Whoa. Yes, well,

that's a good color for you.

- Thanks.

- Hey, at least school's out.

It might as well be fall.

I can't do anything.

Yeah, I know. But you have to take it easy

or you're not gonna get any better.

I thought dinner was almost ready.

You know what they say,

an apple a day keeps the doctor away.

I know you're worried.

Especially with what happened

to your mother.

It's not that, Daddy.

It's...

It's her.

Tamara?

Oh.

I think you're gonna get to like her.

I think it's gonna take some time.

He's in the den.

Daddy, Daddy.

I wanna be a doctor just like you.

You will someday. I promise.

Yes, yes, I know.

First thing's first.

This town murdered you.

It's sick...

...and must be cured.

This is the surprise?

Shut up.

When are we opening the case?

Beer, right? Whoo-hoo!

All right.

Town's got a doctor

And his name is Rendell.

Stay away from his house

Because he's the doctor from hell.

He chopped up his patients,

Every last one

And he cut up their hearts

Purely for fun.

So just what is this big mystery?

This big mystery?

Remember the facts of the case.

The citizens of Moorehigh

surrounded the house, broke in...

...and they dragged the town doctor

into the streets.

- And they stoned him to death, right?

- That's right.

And then they came in after his son,

but he disappeared.

- Never found him.

- How did Evan get out of the house?

The suspense is killing me.

Well, some say Dr. Rendell cremated him.

- Some say he ate him.

- Oh, sick.

But I think Evan never left the house.
