Fifteen years old,

already a bookie.

I am not.

I needed the money.

- What next? Robbing banks?

- I didn't steal anything.

Not yet.

Question of time.

I'm gonna be a doctor,

not a criminal.

You? You'll set fires

for insurance money.

- You'll be a white slaver.

- I will not.

- What do you know about

white slavers? - Never mind.

You're a kid. What the

hell you need money for?

What the hell is that?

- It's a birthday present.

- Birthday?

I don't even know

what day I was born.

Well, tomorrow's

Washington's birthday...

and I thought you and George Washington

could be born on the same day.

Oh, I gotta share it, huh?

Well, I got no use

for presents.

Well, maybe I didn't do it for you.

Maybe I did it for me.

Wow!

Dr. Holeczek.

- Stat!

- Coming through!

Clear.

Dr. Paulson, please call the page.

- We have V-tach.

- Recharge. Get Dr. Kelley.

- Charged.

- Clear.

Dr. Kelley

we have an emergency.

- Tell the intern I'll come as soon

as I can. - Thank you, Doctor.

- Where's Dr. Kelley?

- Not yet. Excuse me...

- Take her out of here, please.

- Please, please, please, outside.

- Is he gonna be all right?

- He's gonna be fine.

Please come with me.

He'll be absolutely fine.

- Lidocaine, 100 milligrams.

- I.V., Doctor?

No, into the heart.

Prepare a cardiac needle.

- Michael, the doctor will be here in

a few minutes. - This guy won't be.

Dr. Lawson. 4-5-7-0.

Nice goin', Michael.

Going into normal sinus.

Dr. Holeczek, call on 2-0.

He won't listen to

reason, Michael.

They turned off the water, the electricity,

and his building's been condemned.

- But does he care? No, he says

he's staying. - Tell him he can't.

I told him.

Stash has told him.

- Not Stash, you.

- The police have told him.

- The police? What police? - Oh, didn't I

mention the landlord called the cops?

Look, he's got to be out by the end

of the day or they're gonna use force.

- He's a harmless old man.

- Wait, wait, hold on a second. What?

- The old man's got a gun. - Michael, guess

what? The harmless old man's got a gun.

Um, I'll be there.

Stand back there, please.

What took ya?

Basha, don't start. I'm here

in four hours from Columbus.

- Anybody talk to him yet?

- Who'll talk to bullets?

Stash, go get a doughnut.

Sorry, buddy, you're gonna

have to go around the block.

I'm... I'm his grandson.

Yeah, you Michael Holeczek?

Hey, mister!

Rock?

It's me, Michael.

I made ya a cup of coffee.

It's instant.

I don't got milk.

Here.

How'd ya heat water?

Before they turned off the gas,

I filled up a thermos.

I got provisions here.

I could last a month.

Maybe more.

- Rocky, what the hell do you think
