:35:02
Well, if anything turns up,
I'll surely get in touch with you.
:35:06
I'm sure you will.
:35:14
Say, do you have the time?
I think my watch is out of order.
:35:18
It's 10:30.
:35:19
I don't wanna be late.
I got an appointment at the doctor.
:35:24
- Doctor, really...
- (Puffing)
:35:27
- I never intended to have an exam...
- Shh!
:35:30
Just a moment.
:35:37
- Blood pressure's a bit low.
- That's normal for me. Look, Doctor...
:35:41
I know, you came here to ask me
questions. But a checkup never hurts.
:35:45
- Now, do you get enough exercise?
- Well, I walk a bit.
:35:49
- Doctor, I just had a police physical.
- Can't have too many, Lieutenant.
:35:53
The human machine is
a delicate instrument.
:35:55
- Now, you were saying?
- Yeah. This is what I wanna know.
:35:58
Look, it's 11:20. Mr Williamson
hasn't shown up for his appointment.
:36:03
Was this just another routine checkup?
:36:05
When you have a heart pacemaker,
no visit is routine.
:36:09
- You can roll down your sleeve.
- Oh, yeah. What I mean is,
:36:12
was this appointment any more
or less important than the others?
:36:16
Well, if Beau Williamson doesn't
get to me, or any other specialist,
:36:21
he's running a grave risk with his health.
:36:24
Well, why is that?
:36:31
This is a pacemaker.
:36:33
- You mean it's that big?
- It runs on miniature energy cells.
:36:37
- That's sort of like an electric watch.
- Exactly.
:36:39
It regulates a heart that can't keep
a steady beat.
:36:42
Every year, these energy cells
have to be replaced
:36:46
or the pacemaker becomes erratic,
causing the heart to malfunction.
:36:50
- In other words, you could die.
- Put simply, yes.
:36:53
- Is this a big operation?
- No, but it is a surgical procedure.
:36:57
Could a doctor other than you perform it?
:36:59
Naturally.
But knowing Beau Williamson,
