00:00.000 --> 00:03.000
The story of Dr. Kildare.

00:03.000 --> 00:09.000
Whatsoever house I enter, there will I go for the benefit of the sick.

00:09.000 --> 00:15.000
Whatsoever things I see or hear concerning the life of men, I will keep silence thereon.

00:15.000 --> 00:18.000
Counting such things to be held as sacred trusts.

00:18.000 --> 00:21.000
I will exercise my art solely for the good of the...

00:21.000 --> 00:30.000
The story of Dr. Kildare starring Lou Ayres and Liano Barrymore.

00:30.000 --> 00:34.000
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer brought you those famous motion pictures.

00:34.000 --> 00:37.000
Now this exciting, heartwarming series is heard on radio.

00:37.000 --> 00:41.000
In just a moment, the story of Dr. Kildare.

00:41.000 --> 00:52.000
But first, your announcer.

00:52.000 --> 01:05.000
Now the story of Dr. Kildare starring Lou Ayres as Dr. Kildare and Liano Barrymore as Dr. Gillespie.

01:05.000 --> 01:07.000
Blair General Hospital.

01:07.000 --> 01:09.000
One of the great citadels of American medicine.

01:09.000 --> 01:13.000
A clump of grey-white buildings planted deep in the heart of New York.

01:13.000 --> 01:21.000
The nerve center of medical progress where great minds and skilled hands wage man's everlasting battle against death and disease.

01:21.000 --> 01:24.000
Blair General Hospital.

01:24.000 --> 01:35.000
Where life begins, where life ends, where life goes on.

01:35.000 --> 01:37.000
All right, one side please.

01:37.000 --> 01:40.000
Let me through here now. Pardon me. Thank you.

01:40.000 --> 01:43.000
Now stand back. Now will you please move back everyone.

01:43.000 --> 01:45.000
Give her a chance to breathe.

01:45.000 --> 01:47.000
Did you bring the cop to with you officer?

01:47.000 --> 01:48.000
No. Are you the owner of this lunch room?

01:48.000 --> 01:51.000
Yeah, her is my name. Should have brought a doctor. She's in bad shape.

01:51.000 --> 01:52.000
Yeah, she looks it. What happened?

01:52.000 --> 01:58.000
Walked in here about five minutes before midnight, stood there by the door a second and she fell flat on her face. Out cold.

01:58.000 --> 01:59.000
Ever seen her before?

01:59.000 --> 02:03.000
No. Don't get any wrong ideas. She didn't buy it in here.

02:03.000 --> 02:04.000
Didn't buy what?

02:04.000 --> 02:07.000
Smell her breath.

02:07.000 --> 02:09.000
Oh, so that's it.

02:09.000 --> 02:13.000
She's drunk. Boy, this younger generation.

02:13.000 --> 02:17.000
She's just a kid. Seventeen at the most.

02:17.000 --> 02:20.000
Oh well, give me a hand here. We'll get her out to the car.

02:20.000 --> 02:22.000
You gonna take her down and book her?

02:22.000 --> 02:23.000
Planning to file charges?

02:23.000 --> 02:27.000
No, just get her out of here. That's all I care.

02:27.000 --> 02:30.000
I think I'll take her over to Blair Hospital. Come on, give me a hand.

02:30.000 --> 02:45.000
Okay.

02:45.000 --> 02:49.000
Yeah, she seems to be responding to the caffeine a little now, Dr. Gillespie.

02:49.000 --> 02:50.000
Good, Jimmy.

02:50.000 --> 02:53.000
At least that fluttery pulse is beginning to straighten out.

02:53.000 --> 02:59.000
I think you can start giving her the oxygen now. Keep her on it for a couple of hours or so. She'll pull out of it all right.

02:59.000 --> 03:03.000
Yes, doctor. Oh, Sergeant, it's a good thing you brought her here.

03:03.000 --> 03:08.000
That alcohol in her bloodstream running over three parts in a thousand. Well, she really needed a doctor.

03:08.000 --> 03:13.000
Well, I didn't have the heart to run her in, Doc. She looked too young, I guess. Very too pretty.

03:13.000 --> 03:15.000
Find anything in her purse?

03:15.000 --> 03:22.000
Yeah, match folders and three different bars for one thing. I'll pay him a little visit in the morning. She's an obvious minor.

03:22.000 --> 03:24.000
Any identification, Blaine?

03:24.000 --> 03:32.000
Marian Lewis, according to the card here. Address on the Upper West Side. Nurse wrote it was her mother, Mrs. Clyde Lewis. Same address.

03:32.000 --> 03:36.000
Well, she certainly had one too many to find her where there's night.

03:36.000 --> 03:43.000
This girl's had a dozen too many, so it wasn't any accident. She did it on purpose. I wonder why.

03:43.000 --> 03:47.000
Jimmy, stop right there. You're going out on a limb again.

03:47.000 --> 03:51.000
Why should she deliberately set out to knock herself silly? What's behind it?

03:51.000 --> 03:56.000
I don't know. And if you're planning to butt in and try and find out, you can do it alone.

03:56.000 --> 03:58.000
Count you out. That it?

03:58.000 --> 04:04.000
Confound it, yeah, sure. I'm getting too old for this probing into patients' lives.

04:04.000 --> 04:05.000
I see.

04:05.000 --> 04:11.000
It's a case of acute alcoholic poisoning. So let's leave it that way. Just treat her and release her.

04:11.000 --> 04:13.000
All right. Nobody's pushing you.

04:13.000 --> 04:17.000
Dr. Kildare, the oxygen equipment is coming up in the freight elevator.

04:17.000 --> 04:23.000
Good, Barker. Dr. Gillespie, do you mind if your able assistant stays here and helps me?

04:23.000 --> 04:27.000
Of course I don't mind. Glad to get rid of old Snoopy for a while.

04:27.000 --> 04:28.000
Well.

04:28.000 --> 04:33.000
I guess I better get going, Jimmy. Want to check with the precinct desk and notify the girl's parents?

04:33.000 --> 04:35.000
All right, Blaine. I'll let you know how she gets along.

04:35.000 --> 04:41.000
I'll walk out with you, Blaine. I ain't never liked to interfere with Kildare's cases.

04:41.000 --> 04:43.000
Thank you, doctor.

04:43.000 --> 04:47.000
There is one thing, Jimmy, though. Just for the report, of course.

04:47.000 --> 04:48.000
Oh?

04:48.000 --> 04:52.000
As soon as she's conscious, let me know what you find out about her.

05:09.000 --> 05:11.000
There, now it's all right, Marion.

05:11.000 --> 05:15.000
All right. Where am I?

05:15.000 --> 05:18.000
You're in Blair Hospital. I'm Dr. Kildare.

05:18.000 --> 05:20.000
Hospital?

05:20.000 --> 05:23.000
Barker, you can have this inhalator taken out and bring some hot coffee.

05:23.000 --> 05:25.000
I think that'll be better now than the caffeine shot.

05:25.000 --> 05:29.000
All right, Dr. Kildare. I'll be right back.

05:31.000 --> 05:33.000
Wish I could die.

05:33.000 --> 05:35.000
Is that what you were trying to do?

05:35.000 --> 05:39.000
No. I didn't care whether I did.

05:39.000 --> 05:43.000
Seventeen years old and didn't care whether you lived or not?

05:43.000 --> 05:46.000
I suppose you're like everybody else.

05:46.000 --> 05:52.000
You think it's just great to be young, and everything's perfect, simple and easy.

05:52.000 --> 05:56.000
No, I think it's a fairly confusing world at any age, Marion.

05:56.000 --> 05:58.000
But it's a lot worse when you're just finding it out.

05:58.000 --> 06:01.000
I've found it out all right.

06:01.000 --> 06:03.000
How did I get here?

06:03.000 --> 06:05.000
The police brought you.

06:05.000 --> 06:06.000
The police?

06:06.000 --> 06:08.000
Sergeant Blaine, a friend of mine.

06:08.000 --> 06:12.000
He passed out in an all-night lunch room.

06:12.000 --> 06:14.000
What are they going to do to me?

06:14.000 --> 06:16.000
Nothing. There are no charges against you.

06:16.000 --> 06:21.000
After you're released in the morning, you can go right out and do the same thing again, if you like.

06:21.000 --> 06:24.000
Yes, I probably will.

06:24.000 --> 06:25.000
What of it?

06:25.000 --> 06:32.000
Oh, one night you won't get to a doctor soon enough, or a car will run you down, or something.

06:32.000 --> 06:36.000
I know. I don't care.

06:36.000 --> 06:39.000
Marion, how long has this been going on?

06:39.000 --> 06:41.000
Drinking?

06:41.000 --> 06:45.000
The last few months. Tonight was the worst yet.

06:45.000 --> 06:46.000
Like to tell me the reason?

06:46.000 --> 06:50.000
You wouldn't understand. You'd just think it was silly.

06:50.000 --> 06:53.000
Even my father and mother don't understand.

06:53.000 --> 06:56.000
Unfortunately, parents are the last to understand sometimes.

06:56.000 --> 06:58.000
It's a mixed-up world for them, too, you know.

06:58.000 --> 07:02.000
Not for mine. They got it all figured out.

07:02.000 --> 07:06.000
They despise me. They hate me.

07:06.000 --> 07:08.000
Oh, you're coming, Parker.

07:08.000 --> 07:12.000
Here's the coffee, Dr. Kildare. The night supervisor had some already made.

07:12.000 --> 07:14.000
Good. Put it here on the table by the bench.

07:14.000 --> 07:16.000
All right, Doctor.

07:16.000 --> 07:21.000
You probably don't want this, Marion, but let's try to get a cup or two down anyway.

07:21.000 --> 07:23.000
Dr. Kildare.

07:23.000 --> 07:29.000
You can have a little cream if you like, but it's better if you drink it black.

07:29.000 --> 07:32.000
Oh, Dr. Kildare.

07:46.000 --> 07:51.000
Well, Dr. Gillespie, you wanted the full report as soon as you was conscious enough to...

07:51.000 --> 07:52.000
Oh.

07:52.000 --> 07:56.000
Kildare. This is Mr. and Mrs. Lewis, Marion's parents.

07:56.000 --> 07:57.000
Oh, how do you do?

07:57.000 --> 07:58.000
How do you do?

07:58.000 --> 08:00.000
I've just been talking to your daughter.

08:00.000 --> 08:01.000
How is she?

08:01.000 --> 08:05.000
How is she? I've already found out she's dead drunk.

08:05.000 --> 08:06.000
Clyde, please.

08:06.000 --> 08:08.000
She's going to be all right, Mrs. Lewis.

08:08.000 --> 08:09.000
Oh, thank heaven.

08:09.000 --> 08:13.000
Oh, Elizabeth, you take up for that kid no matter what she did.

08:13.000 --> 08:15.000
She's no good, and that's all there is to it.

08:15.000 --> 08:18.000
I'm afraid I don't agree with you, Mr. Lewis.

08:18.000 --> 08:21.000
I suppose you think you know more about her than I do.

08:21.000 --> 08:23.000
Strangely enough, I think I do.

08:23.000 --> 08:25.000
Ah, ah, do you mean...

08:25.000 --> 08:30.000
Excuse me, Dr. Gillespie. Mr. Lewis, I'd like to talk to you in the outer office for just a minute.

08:30.000 --> 08:31.000
All right.

08:31.000 --> 08:36.000
Oh, Dr. Gillespie, I knew something like this was going to happen to my daughter.

08:37.000 --> 08:43.000
Ah, Mr. Lewis, I've just been talking to your daughter, as you know.

08:43.000 --> 08:49.000
Well, if I may take the liberty of advising you, I'd like to say that she has a good many problems.

08:49.000 --> 08:52.000
Problems? A girl her age has problems?

08:52.000 --> 08:56.000
Not to you, maybe, but enough to put her in a hospital.

08:56.000 --> 09:00.000
The reason I wanted to talk to you out here away from your wife is that in time,

09:00.000 --> 09:04.000
they might become big enough to kill her if you're not worked out.

09:04.000 --> 09:06.000
And what are all these problems?

09:06.000 --> 09:10.000
Oh, just little ones. Silly ones, in fact.

09:10.000 --> 09:14.000
Like, well, you wanting her to wear clothes too young for her

09:14.000 --> 09:18.000
and that she's not allowed to have dates when other girls of her age are, things like that.

09:18.000 --> 09:21.000
No, that's it. That's what started it all.

09:21.000 --> 09:25.000
One night I caught her sneaking out and meeting some fellow at the corner drugstore

09:25.000 --> 09:27.000
and lock her up in her room for a month.

09:27.000 --> 09:32.000
Don't you realize you just can't lock a person up and expect them to understand?

09:32.000 --> 09:33.000
You've got to talk things over with them.

09:33.000 --> 09:38.000
Talk it over with them? You act like she's already a grown-up woman.

09:38.000 --> 09:43.000
Well, at 17, if she's not well along to being grown up, she never will be.

09:43.000 --> 09:45.000
You see, Mr. Lewis, a girl her age has got...

09:45.000 --> 09:49.000
All right, all right. Everybody to their own opinion.

09:49.000 --> 09:52.000
She'll be ready to leave here in about 10 minutes?

09:52.000 --> 09:55.000
Um, she won't be ready to leave here tonight.

09:55.000 --> 09:56.000
Why not?

09:56.000 --> 09:59.000
Because, Mr. Lewis, I'm not ready to release her.

09:59.000 --> 10:04.000
Well, now, we'll just have to see about that young fellow.

10:04.000 --> 10:06.000
I think you've got a few things to learn.

10:06.000 --> 10:11.000
Maybe so, but in my opinion, there are a whole lot of things you ought to learn, Mr. Lewis,

10:11.000 --> 10:28.000
and for the sake of that girl, you'd better learn them fast.

10:28.000 --> 10:31.000
All right, Jimmy, I agree with you. You're absolutely right.

10:31.000 --> 10:34.000
But, confound, relax. Calm down.

10:34.000 --> 10:38.000
Okay, Dr. Gillespie, I'm sorry I lost my temper, but...

10:38.000 --> 10:39.000
Oh.

10:38.000 --> 10:39.000
Oh, well.

10:39.000 --> 10:43.000
I know. That righteous smugness of his would make anybody mad.

10:43.000 --> 10:44.000
Yeah.

10:44.000 --> 10:46.000
He can't see any side of it but his own.

10:46.000 --> 10:49.000
Just it. There's nothing really bad about that girl.

10:49.000 --> 10:52.000
All she needs is someone who will treat her as a person,

10:52.000 --> 10:55.000
who will listen to her ideas and try to understand her.

10:55.000 --> 10:58.000
Well, I guess her father's given her very little of that.

10:58.000 --> 11:01.000
You know, Jimmy, it's the same old business.

11:01.000 --> 11:06.000
Nine times out of ten, alcoholism is a secondary problem.

11:06.000 --> 11:08.000
There's always something behind it.

11:08.000 --> 11:11.000
Usually the reason isn't as clear-cut as this one.

11:11.000 --> 11:13.000
Come in.

11:13.000 --> 11:18.000
Well, if it isn't Dr. Carew.

11:18.000 --> 11:21.000
Gentlemen, just step right in, Mrs. Lewis. Mr. Lewis.

11:21.000 --> 11:23.000
Thank you.

11:23.000 --> 11:29.000
By the great horn-spoon. Carew, do you sleep in that gardenia?

11:29.000 --> 11:31.000
Certainly not, Dr. Gillespie.

11:31.000 --> 11:33.000
But merely because it's three o'clock in the morning

11:33.000 --> 11:35.000
is no reason not to make oneself presentable

11:35.000 --> 11:37.000
when one is called out to appear in public, that is.

11:37.000 --> 11:39.000
Presentable. Yeah.

11:39.000 --> 11:43.000
Dr. Gillespie, these people tell me you've precipitated a little crisis.

11:43.000 --> 11:45.000
Well, I...

11:45.000 --> 11:48.000
Carew, in as much as Gillespie and I have similar opinions in this matter,

11:48.000 --> 11:51.000
you may address us collectively.

11:51.000 --> 11:52.000
Oh, dear.

11:52.000 --> 11:55.000
Why, Dr. Gillespie, I thought you were too old for this sort of thing.

11:55.000 --> 11:59.000
I ridiculous. Well, Carew, fire at will.

11:59.000 --> 12:00.000
Now, Dr. Gillespie...

12:00.000 --> 12:02.000
Look, I don't know what this is all about,

12:02.000 --> 12:04.000
but I'm only concerned with one thing.

12:04.000 --> 12:07.000
Dr. Carew, suppose you give this young man his orders.

12:07.000 --> 12:09.000
Now, Mr. Lewis, just leave this to me.

12:09.000 --> 12:10.000
Carew?

12:10.000 --> 12:12.000
The answer is no.

12:12.000 --> 12:13.000
Dr. Gillespie, please.

12:13.000 --> 12:15.000
Now, Dr. Gildare, I'm afraid I'll have to ask you

12:15.000 --> 12:18.000
to release the young lady to the custody of her parents at once.

12:18.000 --> 12:21.000
Sorry, but I'm holding her for observation.

12:21.000 --> 12:23.000
Observation.

12:23.000 --> 12:26.000
She's able to talk, she's able to go home where she belongs.

12:26.000 --> 12:28.000
I'm not so sure that is where she belongs.

12:28.000 --> 12:31.000
Now, Dr. Gildare, we can't let our personal opinions

12:31.000 --> 12:32.000
enter into our cases, you know.

12:32.000 --> 12:34.000
Then call it a professional opinion.

12:34.000 --> 12:36.000
Dr. Carew, she's under my care,

12:36.000 --> 12:39.000
and according to law, she stays there until I release her.

12:39.000 --> 12:42.000
Oh, I'm sure you wouldn't take such an un-fuxxing attitude as...

12:42.000 --> 12:44.000
I'll get it.

12:44.000 --> 12:45.000
Gildare speaking.

12:45.000 --> 12:46.000
Sergeant Blaine, Jimmy.

12:46.000 --> 12:47.000
Oh, yes, yes.

12:47.000 --> 12:48.000
Sorry to have to tell you this,

12:48.000 --> 12:50.000
but there's just been a complaint filed against the Lewis girl

12:50.000 --> 12:51.000
who's shoplifting.

12:51.000 --> 12:54.000
What? Are you sure it's her?

12:54.000 --> 12:56.000
Can't be any doubt since the description file

12:56.000 --> 12:58.000
fits both her and the clothes she was wearing.

12:58.000 --> 13:01.000
Look, Blaine, can you stall until the morning

13:01.000 --> 13:04.000
and I'll call the shop and try to fix it up or something?

13:04.000 --> 13:06.000
I'll do what I can, Doc. Call me in the morning.

13:06.000 --> 13:09.000
Oh, thanks. Thanks. Goodbye.

13:09.000 --> 13:11.000
Well, there's no use having any further discussion

13:11.000 --> 13:12.000
about this tonight.

13:12.000 --> 13:14.000
I've got a patient who's in trouble,

13:14.000 --> 13:16.000
and if I can, I'm going to help her out of it.

13:16.000 --> 13:18.000
And regardless of what anyone says,

13:18.000 --> 13:21.000
I'm not going to release her until I'm ready.

13:21.000 --> 13:37.000
That's final.

13:37.000 --> 14:02.000
We return to the story of Dr. Gildare in just a moment.

14:02.000 --> 14:05.000
Now we continue with the story of Dr. Gildare

14:05.000 --> 14:08.000
starring Lou Ayres as Dr. Gildare

14:08.000 --> 14:17.000
and Lionel Barrymore as Dr. Gillespie.

14:17.000 --> 14:20.000
Ah, that's that. 4 a.m., Dr. Gillespie,

14:20.000 --> 14:23.000
with all the irate parents and our fat-headed superintendent

14:23.000 --> 14:26.000
cleared out now, maybe we can finally get him to sleep.

14:26.000 --> 14:28.000
Yeah, could be, Jimmy.

14:28.000 --> 14:31.000
Of course, we still haven't done much toward clearing up

14:31.000 --> 14:32.000
the problem, though.

14:32.000 --> 14:35.000
I know. I can hold them off for the moment by refusing

14:35.000 --> 14:38.000
a release for Marion, but that's only temporary.

14:38.000 --> 14:40.000
Something has to be done tomorrow.

14:40.000 --> 14:42.000
What about this shoplifting business?

14:42.000 --> 14:44.000
It's pretty serious, isn't it?

14:44.000 --> 14:47.000
Serious enough. Apparently Marion tried on some clothes

14:47.000 --> 14:50.000
in a dress shop, then left wearing them

14:50.000 --> 14:52.000
while the sales girl was busy at something else.

14:52.000 --> 14:54.000
Ah, the crazy young fool.

14:54.000 --> 14:57.000
Now, Blaine's going to stall the warrant as long as he can.

14:57.000 --> 14:59.000
I'll call the shop in the morning,

14:59.000 --> 15:01.000
see if I can get them to drop the charges

15:01.000 --> 15:03.000
if I guarantee the cost of the clothes.

15:03.000 --> 15:05.000
Getting in pretty deep, aren't you, Jimmy?

15:05.000 --> 15:06.000
Oh, what can you do?

15:06.000 --> 15:09.000
Well, I noticed you were right there with me.

15:09.000 --> 15:12.000
Ah, that was merely a personal attitude toward Karoo.

15:12.000 --> 15:15.000
If he'd said black was black, I'd have said it was green.

15:15.000 --> 15:18.000
Oh, all right, so it was entirely personal.

15:18.000 --> 15:20.000
And it still doesn't answer the question,

15:20.000 --> 15:22.000
how are we going to help her?

15:22.000 --> 15:24.000
The girl needs understanding.

15:24.000 --> 15:26.000
Problems, it's simple as that.

15:26.000 --> 15:28.000
Only the answer's not quite as simple.

15:28.000 --> 15:30.000
No, because the only logical answer

15:30.000 --> 15:32.000
is to bring her and her parents together.

15:32.000 --> 15:34.000
Right now, they're a thousand miles apart.

15:34.000 --> 15:37.000
They need some common basis to work from.

15:37.000 --> 15:39.000
By the time nation, aside from the fact

15:39.000 --> 15:42.000
that they're distantly related by birth,

15:42.000 --> 15:43.000
I don't see why.

15:43.000 --> 15:44.000
You do, I.

15:44.000 --> 15:47.000
Now, I'm going to talk to both sides again in the morning.

15:47.000 --> 15:48.000
Do that, Jimmy, do that.

15:48.000 --> 15:50.000
Now, we'd better both get some sleep,

15:50.000 --> 16:08.000
or tomorrow you'll look as well as Karoo's gardenia.

16:08.000 --> 16:11.000
I don't know why I did a doctor kill there.

16:11.000 --> 16:14.000
I only meant to look at the clothes and try them on.

16:14.000 --> 16:17.000
And they were so beautiful, and so I...

16:17.000 --> 16:19.000
So they made you look grown up, huh?

16:19.000 --> 16:21.000
And they were clothes you'd picked out yourself?

16:21.000 --> 16:25.000
Yes, and I was so miserable, I didn't care what happened.

16:25.000 --> 16:27.000
So I took them.

16:27.000 --> 16:28.000
Took them?

16:28.000 --> 16:31.000
You know, we never get anywhere by kidding ourselves, Marion.

16:31.000 --> 16:33.000
Is that really what you mean?

16:33.000 --> 16:37.000
No, I stole them.

16:37.000 --> 16:40.000
Doctor killed there, will they send me to jail?

16:40.000 --> 16:42.000
No, they got a check this morning.

16:42.000 --> 16:44.000
They've withdrawn the charges.

16:44.000 --> 16:46.000
You sent them?

16:46.000 --> 16:47.000
But why?

16:47.000 --> 16:48.000
I can't pay you back.

16:48.000 --> 16:49.000
I don't have a job.

16:49.000 --> 16:51.000
My parents think I'm too young to work.

16:51.000 --> 16:52.000
Well, forget that.

16:52.000 --> 16:55.000
For the moment, we'll worry about it later.

16:55.000 --> 16:58.000
Marion, how did all this start?

16:58.000 --> 16:59.000
Well, I don't know.

16:59.000 --> 17:02.000
My folks wouldn't let me have friends at home.

17:02.000 --> 17:03.000
Not any at all.

17:03.000 --> 17:06.000
And finally I got so I'd slip off to the corner drug store

17:06.000 --> 17:07.000
and talk to people.

17:07.000 --> 17:08.000
Boys.

17:08.000 --> 17:09.000
It wasn't anything.

17:09.000 --> 17:11.000
We just laughed and talked.

17:11.000 --> 17:12.000
I see.

17:12.000 --> 17:14.000
And Dad found out about it.

17:14.000 --> 17:16.000
Locked me in my room at nights for a month.

17:16.000 --> 17:20.000
So finally it all led up to July's night.

17:20.000 --> 17:21.000
Yes.

17:21.000 --> 17:24.000
And a dead end, too, because that isn't the solution, you know.

17:24.000 --> 17:26.000
Doctor killed there.

17:26.000 --> 17:28.000
There isn't any solution.

17:28.000 --> 17:31.000
I won't go back home again and have them tell me how low I am,

17:31.000 --> 17:34.000
how ungrateful, and how I failed them.

17:34.000 --> 17:36.000
And there's nothing else.

17:36.000 --> 17:49.000
Nothing.

17:49.000 --> 17:54.000
Well, now, Mr. Lewis, maybe Kildare isn't quite as wrong as you think he is.

17:54.000 --> 17:55.000
Of course he's wrong.

17:55.000 --> 17:57.000
Now, wait a minute.

17:57.000 --> 18:00.000
You and I come from what they call the older generation.

18:00.000 --> 18:03.000
And the world's changed a lot since we came into it.

18:03.000 --> 18:06.000
Maybe the world has, but right and wrong never change.

18:06.000 --> 18:08.000
Oh, that could be.

18:08.000 --> 18:11.000
I sometimes wonder, though, if we don't use these words

18:11.000 --> 18:13.000
right and wrong pretty loosely.

18:13.000 --> 18:16.000
Anything that we're familiar with, that is, that we learned

18:16.000 --> 18:19.000
before we were 21 years old, we call right.

18:19.000 --> 18:23.000
And anything new that's come along since, we call it wrong.

18:23.000 --> 18:25.000
No basis for it either way.

18:25.000 --> 18:27.000
I can't agree with you, Dr. Gillespie.

18:27.000 --> 18:30.000
Everybody knows the things this modern generation does,

18:30.000 --> 18:33.000
and I won't have Marion acting the same way.

18:33.000 --> 18:36.000
Well, it seems to me that people have been selling the younger

18:36.000 --> 18:39.000
generation short for about 20 centuries or more.

18:39.000 --> 18:42.000
But each time they managed to come through it all right.

18:42.000 --> 18:44.000
No, sir, things were different when we were young.

18:44.000 --> 18:48.000
Ah, different, yes, but not necessarily any better.

18:48.000 --> 18:53.000
And you know, we didn't do such a hard job of building a new world, Mr. Lewis.

18:53.000 --> 18:55.000
Well, nevertheless, I feel that...

18:55.000 --> 18:57.000
Oh, come on in, Jimmy.

18:57.000 --> 18:58.000
Dr. Gillespie.

18:58.000 --> 19:00.000
Mr. Lewis.

19:00.000 --> 19:01.000
Good morning, Dr. Kildare.

19:01.000 --> 19:03.000
I guess I owe you an apology.

19:03.000 --> 19:05.000
Sorry I lost my temper last night.

19:05.000 --> 19:09.000
Well, I did a little of that myself, as I remember.

19:09.000 --> 19:12.000
But I think we can be more reasonable about it this morning.

19:12.000 --> 19:13.000
Oh, I hope so.

19:13.000 --> 19:15.000
My wife's waiting downstairs.

19:15.000 --> 19:18.000
If you'll fix up that release, we'll just take Marion right along with us.

19:18.000 --> 19:22.000
Well, she's a very hurt girl, Mr. Lewis, or a very sick one,

19:22.000 --> 19:24.000
if you want to put it that way.

19:24.000 --> 19:25.000
Well, hangover can get...

19:25.000 --> 19:28.000
Oh, no, no, no, it's a lot deeper than that.

19:28.000 --> 19:30.000
I do hope you'll be gentle with her,

19:30.000 --> 19:32.000
trying to talk to her and reason with her.

19:32.000 --> 19:35.000
Look, Kildare, when I was a kid and did anything wrong,

19:35.000 --> 19:37.000
my father didn't talk to me.

19:37.000 --> 19:39.000
He used the back of a hairbrush.

19:39.000 --> 19:41.000
That's reason enough for me.

19:41.000 --> 19:42.000
No, here it is, Jimmy.

19:42.000 --> 19:44.000
I tried every argument I could think of.

19:44.000 --> 19:48.000
Well, Dr. Kildare, are you going to sign that release or not?

19:48.000 --> 19:50.000
No, I'm not, Mr. Lewis.

19:50.000 --> 19:53.000
In my opinion, Marion still needs medical care.

19:53.000 --> 19:55.000
In that case, I'd better see a lawyer.

19:55.000 --> 19:56.000
Whatever you like.

19:56.000 --> 19:58.000
Oh, one other thing, Kildare.

19:58.000 --> 20:02.000
I understand you paid off that dress shop for the clothes Marion stole.

20:02.000 --> 20:04.000
Of course, I want to make good...

20:04.000 --> 20:06.000
I'll save it for the funeral.

20:06.000 --> 20:07.000
I see.

20:07.000 --> 20:10.000
Well, I'll find out from the police and mail you a check.

20:10.000 --> 20:12.000
I pay my debts.

20:12.000 --> 20:15.000
I can tell you one you'll never be able to pay.

20:15.000 --> 20:18.000
I think that's a matter of opinion.

20:18.000 --> 20:23.000
Good day, gentlemen.

20:23.000 --> 20:25.000
Well, there goes nothing.

20:25.000 --> 20:27.000
He's hard-headed, all right.

20:27.000 --> 20:29.000
And the worst of it is he loves his daughter.

20:29.000 --> 20:31.000
He's just as hurt as she is.

20:31.000 --> 20:34.000
Sure he is, but he's too confounded and stubborn

20:34.000 --> 20:36.000
to tolerate any idea but his own.

20:36.000 --> 20:38.000
And there's nothing we can do.

20:38.000 --> 20:42.000
If he sees a lawyer, he'll have her back in his custody within 24 hours.

20:42.000 --> 20:45.000
I can't support any claim that she needs further medical care.

20:45.000 --> 20:47.000
Well, we did all we could.

20:47.000 --> 20:49.000
Now, come in, Parker.

20:49.000 --> 20:50.000
Dr. Kin there.

20:50.000 --> 20:52.000
Have you forgotten you're supposed to make the rounds

20:52.000 --> 20:54.000
in the crippled children's ward at 11 o'clock?

20:54.000 --> 20:57.000
No, Parker, I was just about to...

20:57.000 --> 20:58.000
to...

20:58.000 --> 21:00.000
say, you know something?

21:00.000 --> 21:01.000
What?

21:01.000 --> 21:02.000
A long shot.

21:02.000 --> 21:03.000
Parker.

21:03.000 --> 21:05.000
Go stop Mr. Lewis and bring him back here.

21:05.000 --> 21:20.000
His wife, too. Hurry.

21:20.000 --> 21:23.000
Haven't we seen about enough of this now, Dr. Kildare?

21:23.000 --> 21:25.000
Oh, there's only one more section, Mr. Lewis.

21:25.000 --> 21:26.000
It's right ahead of us.

21:26.000 --> 21:28.000
Well, it can't be much different from the others.

21:28.000 --> 21:30.000
Now, here we are.

21:30.000 --> 21:31.000
We'll go inside.

21:31.000 --> 21:33.000
We can look through these windows along the corridor.

21:33.000 --> 21:36.000
These children are all under five years old.

21:36.000 --> 21:40.000
Oh, and all of them are handicapped in some way.

21:40.000 --> 21:42.000
Mm-hmm, in various ways.

21:42.000 --> 21:44.000
And furthermore, most of them are charity patients,

21:44.000 --> 21:47.000
wards of either the hospital or some charitable organization.

21:47.000 --> 21:50.000
Dr. Kildare, I assume you had some point in mind

21:50.000 --> 21:52.000
when you insisted we come here with you.

21:52.000 --> 21:55.000
I wonder if you'd explain just what it was.

21:55.000 --> 21:58.000
I'm not sure whether I can explain it, Mr. Lewis.

21:58.000 --> 22:01.000
I guess I wanted to show you some of the differences in handicaps

22:01.000 --> 22:05.000
and to point out that physical handicaps aren't the only kinds.

22:05.000 --> 22:07.000
Um, look, Mr. Lewis,

22:07.000 --> 22:09.000
that curly-headed little boy there by the window,

22:09.000 --> 22:11.000
the one with braces on both legs.

22:11.000 --> 22:13.000
Yes, I see.

22:13.000 --> 22:14.000
Suppose he was yours,

22:14.000 --> 22:18.000
and you didn't happen to like the way he was forced to walk.

22:18.000 --> 22:19.000
Now, what would you do?

22:19.000 --> 22:21.000
Try to help him to learn to walk his way

22:21.000 --> 22:25.000
or beat him with a hairbrush because he couldn't walk your way?

22:25.000 --> 22:26.000
Well, I...

22:26.000 --> 22:29.000
Can you imagine a child like that being no good?

22:29.000 --> 22:33.000
Well... Oh, Clyde, we have been wrong sometimes, you know.

22:33.000 --> 22:37.000
We failed her as much as she could ever fail us.

22:37.000 --> 22:40.000
I wonder if maybe you aren't right.

22:40.000 --> 22:43.000
So many things we could have done and didn't.

22:43.000 --> 22:46.000
So many things we thought were important.

22:46.000 --> 22:48.000
Perhaps they're not.

22:48.000 --> 22:50.000
Elizabeth, I...

22:50.000 --> 22:53.000
I think maybe we'd better talk this over.

22:53.000 --> 22:56.000
You'll find a conference room at the end of the corridor.

22:56.000 --> 22:58.000
You won't be disturbed.

22:58.000 --> 23:00.000
Thanks, Dr. Kildare.

23:00.000 --> 23:02.000
Come on, dear.

23:04.000 --> 23:06.000
Well, I'll be darned.

23:06.000 --> 23:09.000
You're the luckiest man I ever saw.

23:09.000 --> 23:12.000
Oh, I didn't hear you come up.

23:12.000 --> 23:14.000
Long shot paid off, huh?

23:14.000 --> 23:16.000
Well, that's the way it seems.

23:16.000 --> 23:18.000
And I'm glad I did, but...

23:18.000 --> 23:19.000
But what?

23:19.000 --> 23:23.000
Ginny, would you mind explaining the logic of your plan?

23:23.000 --> 23:26.000
Well, I don't know. I just had a hunch, I guess, a feeling.

23:26.000 --> 23:29.000
But confounding Jimmy doesn't even make good sense.

23:29.000 --> 23:32.000
Only there's one thing about it, Dr. Gillespie.

23:32.000 --> 23:33.000
What?

23:33.000 --> 23:35.000
It worked.

23:35.000 --> 23:50.000
In just a moment, we will return to the story of Dr. Kildare.

24:05.000 --> 24:32.000
And now, once again, the story of Dr. Kildare, starring Lou Ayres as Dr. Kildare.

24:32.000 --> 24:38.000
And Lionel Barrymore as Dr. Gillespie.

24:38.000 --> 24:40.000
Dr. Gillespie.

24:40.000 --> 24:44.000
Confounded Parker, can't you dare and I have five minutes conversation

24:44.000 --> 24:46.000
without you poking your long nose in?

24:46.000 --> 24:47.000
Where?

24:47.000 --> 24:48.000
Never mind. What do you want?

24:48.000 --> 24:51.000
Well, Dr. Carew's outside there. Shall I show him in?

24:51.000 --> 24:54.000
Show him in, show him out. I don't care where you show him.

24:54.000 --> 24:56.000
Oh.

24:56.000 --> 24:58.000
I think I know what he wants.

24:58.000 --> 25:02.000
I doubt if he's heard that.

24:58.000 --> 25:02.000
Oh, let's pour it on him, Jimmy.

25:02.000 --> 25:03.000
Good afternoon, gentlemen.

25:03.000 --> 25:06.000
Well, Jimmy, look at this. Dr. Carew.

25:06.000 --> 25:08.000
Yes, I believe it is at that.

25:08.000 --> 25:11.000
Gentlemen, please, step into our parlor, Carew.

25:11.000 --> 25:14.000
Speak up. What's on your mind?

25:14.000 --> 25:18.000
Gentlemen, I refrain from exercising my authority,

25:18.000 --> 25:21.000
but there can be no more quibbling now, no more dilly-dallying.

25:21.000 --> 25:24.000
Isn't that word dilly-ing, dallying, Dr. Gillespie?

25:24.000 --> 25:26.000
Jimmy, I think you're right.

25:26.000 --> 25:29.000
Gentlemen, that girl, I want her released at once.

25:29.000 --> 25:32.000
I guess he means you, Jimmy. I'm not holding any girl.

25:32.000 --> 25:34.000
Dr. Gillespie, you know very well who I mean.

25:34.000 --> 25:36.000
It's that, that Marion Lewis girl.

25:36.000 --> 25:39.000
Lewis? Marion Lewis?

25:39.000 --> 25:41.000
Well, there is something familiar about that name.

25:41.000 --> 25:42.000
Oh, I remember, Dr. Gillespie.

25:42.000 --> 25:45.000
That's the girl who left with her parents right after lunch.

25:45.000 --> 25:47.000
Dr. Killier, I won't listen to any...

25:47.000 --> 25:49.000
She wafts.

25:49.000 --> 25:54.000
You know, I don't think Dr. Carew really knows what's going on around here.

25:54.000 --> 25:56.000
Oh, dear. But I thought...

25:56.000 --> 25:59.000
I mean, you said that... But last night, you...

25:59.000 --> 26:03.000
Oh, dear. Oh, dear, dear, dear, dear, dear, dear, dear, dear.

26:03.000 --> 26:06.000
Parker, open the door for Dr. Carew.

26:06.000 --> 26:09.000
He's trying to walk through the back of the closet.

26:16.000 --> 26:19.000
You have just heard the story of Dr. Killier,

26:19.000 --> 26:22.000
starring Lou Ayres and Lionel Barrymore.

26:22.000 --> 26:27.000
This program was written by Les Crutchfield and directed by William P. Russo.

26:27.000 --> 26:30.000
Original music was composed and conducted by Walter Schuman.

26:30.000 --> 26:33.000
Supporting cast included Virginia Gregg, Ted Osborne,

26:33.000 --> 26:37.000
Lorraine Tuttle, Tal Avery, Barbara Ruick, and Jack Crushen.

26:37.000 --> 26:52.000
Dick Joy speaking.

27:07.000 --> 27:13.000
