In the emergency room, a police detective and a particularly aggressive assistant district attorney try to pressure Kildare into allowing them access to one of his patients, a heart attack victim who has only hours to live. They want her to give a deathbed statement implicating her brother-in-law as an accomplice in a murder, but Kildare refuses, as the patient does not know she is dying. What's more, the man they hope her to implicate is also there with the patient's sister, hoping to pressure her against saying anything.
