NEWSCASTER:
As election night draws near,

both candidates
in the mayoral run-off

have set up their headquarters
here,

at opposite ends

of the Hotel Perceval
Convention Center.

Clifford Hiatt
and Barbara Norton

have just arrived
for tonight's debate,

and speak with reporters

about the results
of the most recent polls.

WOMAN: Mr. Hiatt,

you're the clear leader
according to the latest polls.

Would you care to speculate

on the outcome
of Tuesday's election?

HIATT: Well, I don't intend
to get comfortable in the lead.

Ballots count, not polls.

MAN: Do you think
the Rothweiler issue

is going to hurt your chances?

HIATT:
People don't take hearsay

into the voting booths.

They take their hearts
and their minds.

MAN: And Barbara Norton
had this to say

when she arrived--

WOMAN: Judge Norton,
what do you say to people

who call this campaign
"the battle of the sexes"?

I say wake up
and smell the oatmeal.

It's 1992.
Gender is not an issue.

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

[¶]

NARRATOR:
He was brought across in 1228.

Preyed on humans
for their blood.

Now he wants
to be mortal again...

To repay society
for his sins...

To emerge
from his road of darkness...

From his endless forever night.

His name
was Gilbert Reeves,

an undistinguished member
of the Fourth Estate.

So we're dealing
with a journalist?

Freelance, yeah.

He had a press pass,

but no professional
affiliation.

At least
he died clean.

Has anyone found the woman
he checked in with yet?

Mona Wayne? No,
we're still looking.

So he was here
to cover the election.

Well, who isn't?

Except for us,
this place

is a veritable
press gallery.

Hey, Schanke,
what do you make of this?

"Make luck."
What is that, Confucius?

"Steer fate."

Sounds like new age
self-help advice.

It was in his suitcase.

Might be something.

How about you?
What do you got?

Mostly paperwork,

articles he was working on
and this contact book.

Hundreds of numbers
in here.

Take a month
to run them all down.

Well, better
get started

first thing
in the morning, then.

Who, me?

All right.
I'm calling it.

Our guy died
of electrocution,

meaning
he did not die

before the TV
hit the water.

You know
what they say.

The bathroom is the most
dangerous room in the house.

Sherlock Holmes.

Right.

This was definitely
not an accident.

Unless the TV spontaneously
levitated into the tub.

Okay, phone checks,
background.

Let's get started.

We're live
at the Hotel Perceval,

where, a short while ago,

a man was found dead
in his hotel room.

As police investigate,

candidates Barbara Norton
and Clifford Hiatt

are telling reporters

their positions
regarding crime in our city.

[REPORTERS CLAMORING]

Didn't take long
for word to get out

on this one.

This is what I've been
talking about all along.

Frankly, I am sick of crime,

and I know
I'm not alone.

Dirty communist!

Lousy Red!

We're out to take
back our streets,

and we simply
won't tolerate it.

As a family man,

I'm very concerned

about the future
of my children.

Where do you stand
on the homeless issue?

My answer is a question.

Are these people
homeless by choice?

Look, these sensitive issues

are better discussed
in a more appropriate venue.

He dodged that one
well.

He's a master
at it.

You noticed
how his head looks

a lot bigger
in person?

He's got
my vote.

We need somebody
tough in office.

Oh, come on, he's as phony
as his hair weave, Schanke.

That's a weave?

Settle down, please.

Okay.

My heart goes out

to those members
of the community

who live with
this kind of...mayhem

every day of their lives.

Decent people
in crime-ridden neighborhoods

are impacted by
this sort of thing constantly.

Barbara Norton
is the best thing

that could ever happen
to this city.

And better looking too.

A broad for mayor?
Yeah, right.

Excuse me?

A woman for mayor,
thank you,

and what is wrong
with that?

Well, who am I?
What do I know?

I only pay taxes
in this town.

Would you two
please chill out?

We're on duty here.

We've got police work
to do.

Detective Knight,
this is Mona Wayne.

Am I in trouble or something?

It's about Gilbert Reeves.

Yes?

Miss Wayne,
there's a problem.

Gilbert was
taking a bath...

Yes?

While he was watching
television...

Somehow the television
wound up in the tub.

Is he all right?

MONA: I never saw that before.

Heard Gilbert say it
a few times, though.

Gilbert only told me
we were here...

to close some big deal,

something that was going
to make us a lot of money.

We were going to be married.

I'm very sorry.

Did Gilbert say
what the deal was?

He wanted it
to be a surprise

or something.

I don't know that much
about politics.

It...It kind of
confuses me, but...

it sure was
Gilbert's passion.

He was a junior
alderman, wasn't he?

Ottawa, 10 years ago?

Yeah.

He sure had
potential back then.

Thanks a lot for
coming down, Ms. Wayne.

I have an
officer outside

to take you back
to your new room

we've arranged for you
at the hotel.

I'll have hotel security
look in on her.

Track her movements.

She's a suspect?

What, she shouldn't be?
She had access to the room.

In the meantime,
any ideas about this new deal

he was working on?

Well, in his papers,
we found an article

about the Rothweiler
industry scandal.

Maybe someone
didn't want

that can of worms
reopened.

Except there was
nothing in it

that wasn't
in the papers

a year ago, Nick.

Yeah, but Reeves

was still
working on it.

Check it out.

None of this has anything
to do with the campaign.

Aw, come on, captain.
I mean,

Reeves was covering
the election.

It's going to be tough
to keep a lid on it.

It's called "spin control,"
detective.

Somebody pokes a microphone
in your face, and they will,

you offer no comment.

According to the
hotel phone logs,

he'd already been
talking to the press.

What press?

Frank Titus,

publisher of the
National Intruder.

National Intruder?
No comment.

Rats. I can't get it.

Here, Schanke.
You try.

Why is everyone
so down on Hiatt?

He seems like
an all-right guy.

You're just
saying that

because the man
shook your hand.

Don't forget,
he was involved

in that big
Rothweiler probe.

They never proved that.

Nothing sticks
to that man.

Hey, Nick, it's too bad
you don't work the day shift.

You could get in there

and find
something on him.

Or leave
the character assassination

to the press

and concentrate
on detective work.

Come on, Nick.

Everybody knows
that Hiatt

is just a notorious tool
of special interests.

Come on.

He's a politician,
not an altar boy.

Yeah, since when did
you give two hoots

about politics,
anyway?

Since I found
a candidate

I could put
my trust in.

Besides, that's
really his hair.

Sure, now,
that makes sense.

If you don't care about
your government's hair,

then your government
won't care about you.

Hey, hey, I think
I got something here.

What did you get, Schanke?

We can always use
more volunteers.

Well, like I
always say,

if you don't care
about your government,

your government
doesn't care about you.

That's the spirit,
Mr. Schanke.

Now, you can use
that desk over there,

and here's your list
of registered voters.

Let's get out the vote.

Great.
Uh, just one question.

Those doughnuts
over there,

are they for us?

[DIALING]

Myra, listen, it's me.

I can't remember,
am I registered to vote?

Right.

He's got all that money,
and he marries a chimpanzee?

Did you get pictures?

Then you don't get paid.

How many stories
am I going

to get about this...

What can I
do for you?

Here to
talk about Gilbert Reeves.

Don't know him.

Yeah, that's good.
That's good, and...No.

Tell them to put wrinkles
in here, around the eyes.

I don't know.

Have them do something
with the eyes

so that it looks
like she's on lithium.

Is that so hard
to understand?

Go ahead.
Don't we have one

where she's throwing up
or something?

Look for it.

Detective Knight,
Metro Homicide.

You said Reeves,
is that right?

What did he do?

That's right.
He died.

Geez, that's too bad.

Yeah, that's too bad.
He was murdered,

and our phone records show
that you spoke to him,

recently.

Oh, yeah, now I remember.

He had been calling me
trying to hawk a sex scandal

concerning
a certain mayoral candidate,

and I told him yeah,

we'd take a look
at what he'd got.

A sex scandal?
Which candidate?

He didn't say.

I mean, nine'll get you 10
it's Hiatt.

He's got a sack full of ghosts.

You didn't ask him?

Don't deal in specifics.

No, only rumors.

Look, I don't substantiate them.

I just spread them around.

And you don't care
who gets hurt, I guess.

You're in the public eye,
you take your lumps.

As far as Reeves is concerned,
he was a pimp with a story.

I pay 25 grand
for a story like that.

Why didn't you
buy the story from Reeves

when you had the chance?

He never got back to me.

Look, I don't know
Gilbert Reeves

from the whole world
and his wife.

As far as I'm concerned,
somebody snuffed him,

and I don't know why.

Don't worry, the truth will out.
That's our motto.

"The truth will out."
[GAVEL BANGING]

This subcommittee hearing
is now in session.

We are here tonight
to get at the truth,

and be assured,
the truth will out.

By the way, Reeves
have a girlfriend?

Because whoever
he was sleeping with

knows all the dirt,

and I bet you she wouldn't mind

flapping her gums
for 25 grand.

Target the source.
Key to our business.

Target the source.

[COUGHING]

Mona...

It's not
the first time

someone's died
in my arms.

You did all you could.

Once cyanide's started
to take effect,

there's not much
anyone can do.

Well, it's done. I've
notified all the hotels.

No mints on the
pillows tonight...

maybe never.

You know, I'm going
to miss that.

You ever find out
what that thing is

we pulled
out of the TV?

Fingernail fragment
covered in blood.

I'm doing a DNA workup.

Whatever Reeves
was planning,

Mona Wayne
had no part in it.

She was just
a loose end

someone felt
should be tied up.

Yeah, but
the question is, who?

Frank Titus
said that Reeves

was flogging
a sex scandal.

And we all thought
the Rothweiler thing

was going to be his undoing.

Hiatt, a sex scandal?
No way. No way.

Everyone at the
campaign headquarters

says he's a super-
devoted family man.

What were you doing

down at the Hiatt
campaign headquarters?

Well, same thing
Nat does

at Norton's campaign
headquarters.

Supporting my
candidate of choice.

You think you can do that

without biasing
the investigation?

Oh, fat chance.

No, this goes for you too.
Me?

Yeah, both of you.

We've got some sensitive digging
to do here.

Unfortunately, it comes down
to a decision,

because you can't have it
both ways.

This is a witch hunt, sir,

and I don't understand

why you won't listen
to the truth,

when you say
that's what you want.

Mr. Girard, we are here
to cleanse America

of the destructive influence
of communism,

and we will not rest

until we have reached
our objective.

You have to decide

whether you want to be zealous
or thorough.

Oh, Mr. Schanke.

Hi. Hello.

Oh, hi.
You're here early.

Yes, and, um...
so are you.

Well, got to get the coffee on.

Geez, I thought
you'd be home sleeping in,

hard as you've been working.

Well, elections
aren't won in bed.

No, but they
can be lost in bed.

Mr. Girard,
are you now,

or have you
ever been,

a member of the Communist Party?

I am the night curator

and the associate professor
of the archaeological museum

at the University of Chicago.

Bearing in mind
you are under oath,

answer the question as put.

I was merely explaining--

We're not here
for explanations,

Mr. Girard.

We're here for answers.

Hiatt's the one.

Hey, come on, Nick.
It's just me, Don Schanke.

Don "Open Mind" Schanke.

Look up "unbiased"
in the dictionary,

and you'll find a picture of me
next to it.

What did you find out
about Hiatt?

Naturally, everything
I say is off the record,

because my entrance to
the said premises was...

Under a different
pretense.

Exactly, and I feel
really guilty about it.

["FOR HE'S A JOLLY GOOD FELLOW"
PLAYING]

As a matter of fact,

I might have found proof
that Hiatt was innocent

of the whole
Rothweiler thing

to begin with.

What kind of proof?

Well, isn't
the allegation

that Hiatt had tried
to change the zoning

so that Rothweiler could
develop protected land

in exchange for a
special consideration?
Yeah.

So guess whose name
is nowhere to be found

on the list of Hiatt's
political contributors.

Besides Dr. Natalie Lambert?

Yes.
Rothweiler.

Exactly. So where's
the special consideration?

Doesn't that seem odd to you?

I mean, if Rothweiler's hanging
in the hammock with Hiatt,

don't you think he'd kick in
for some bumper stickers?

[APPLAUSE]

Mr. Hiatt,

would you care
to comment on this?

I have nothing to hide.

My record is clear
and it's public.

That's what you said
about Rothweiler Industries.

What you are referring to
are allegations.

Allegations that were
never proven.

Accusations
totally without merit.

Are you implying that
the other members of the faculty

were lying, Mr. Girard?

Perhaps the committee
should have their names.

No, I never said anything
about lying.

All I'm saying
is that there has clearly been

a misinterpretation
of the facts.

Then, Mr. Girard,
just answer the question.

Do you have anything to do

with these murders?

A story in tonight's edition
of the tabloid National Intruder

is wreaking havoc
here at campaign headquarters.

The Intruder claims
it has evidence

linking a leading
mayoral candidate

with the suspected murder
of two persons last night

here at the Hotel Perceval.

While it falls shy
of naming either candidate,

the story insists

that neither had
an airtight alibi

for the time of the two deaths.

A National Intruder official

reached earlier this evening
by telephone

would only say that the evidence

is from an impeccably
reliable source

and paints a strong motive
for murder.

According to
the National Intruder,

the double homicide

last night
at the Perceval Hotel

has been
somehow linked

to your bid
for the mayor's office.

Not specifically to my bid,
sir.

The Intruder article suggested

that Mr. Reeves' murder
was circumstantially linked--

Judge Norton, just
answer the question.

Just a minute, please.

She looks nervous.

They're picking on her.
I mean, what the hell is this,

some sort of TV charisma
lie-detector test?

Hiatt is just a better liar,
that's all.

You think Norton's
lying about something?

That's not what I said.

Oh, man. I'm sorry.
I just feel...helpless.

I just wish there were something
I could do.

Don't pay any
attention to me.

I'm politically
ignorant.

NORTON: I would
caution everyone

to keep in mind
that, as I said,

connections
of any kind

are still
circumstantial

at this point.

The investigation
is still open

and still continues
to be carried out,

and we can all...

Forensics.

Hi, Grace, it's Nick Knight.
Is Natalie there?

I'm sorry, Detective.
She's left already.

Anything I can help you with?

Well, yeah. I was just wondering
what came up in your DNA test

on that blood
and fingernail fragment.

I haven't done one yet.

What do you mean,
you haven't done one?

Well, Natalie put the specimen
in her evidence locker

and I couldn't get the keys
before she left.

Where'd she go?

To the hotel.

Barbara Norton rally.

Thanks.

I'm sorry,
ladies and gentlemen,

but there will be
no interview tonight.

However, Judge Norton
will be very happy

to answer
any questions...

Hey, you were at the hotel
the night of the murder.

You're Natalie Lambert,
County Coroner.

What can you tell us

about the ongoing
investigation?

I'm not really at liberty

to discuss any of this
right now.

Excuse us.

Detective, are you
here to investigate

the Norton campaign?

No.

Then Hiatt is the focus
of your investigation.

I did not say that.

Dr. Lambert,

are you a Barbara
Norton supporter?

Yes, I am,

but that shouldn't be taken
as an official endorsement.

Is it true
that the focus

of the current
investigation

is on Hiatt?

No comment.

[GROANS]

Oh, no.

You don't get off
that easy.

So am I supposed

to drive you to
your car, or what?

Drive. Just drive.

I'm sorry, okay?
I'm really sorry.

What were you
thinking, Natalie?

I didn't think,
but all I said was "no comment."

No,

it's the way you said it.

Well, I didn't mean
to imply that--

You shouldn't
have said anything.

You shouldn't
have even been there.

I had a commitment.

I couldn't
just stand by

while they tried

to run her
into the ground

with empty
accusations.

You know that these
accusations were empty,

or do you just like
to think they were?

You didn't do a DNA
on the fingernail.

I was going to do it
in the morning.

I'm sorry.
I screwed up.

[TIRES SCREECHING]

What is that idiot
behind us doing?

Come on, Nats.

No, she does not want
to speak to the press.

No, I'm not going
to substantiate anything.

It's Hiatt.

Now I know it's Hiatt,
and you know what else?

I should talk to the press.

I think you've done enough
talking to the press.

But it's so obvious.

I mean,

it is such an obvious reaction
to what happened at the hotel.

You see, Hiatt figures

that we focused
the investigation on him,

and last night,
he tried to put a stop to it.

Nothing is obvious
about this investigation,

or there wouldn't be
an investigation.

Natalie, I think what
happened last night

does more
to clear Hiatt

than to implicate him.

But he doesn't even
have an alibi.

Nor does
Barbara Norton.

I mean, come on.

What kind of idiot
would Hiatt have to be

to make an attempt
on the life

of the very person
who just implied

in front of three
television cameras

that he was
under investigation?

You're not
thinking clearly.

I'm only trying to be logical
about this.

All right, all right, all right,
all right, all right, all right.

Didn't this car leave
an impression on you, Nick?

I mean, didn't you see
who was driving?

It happened
too quickly.

This whole thing has gone
from bad to worse.

I mean, let's try to make
some headway on this case

without anyone else
getting hurt,

and let's try to do it quietly.

Anyone seen this?

For crying out loud.

Hi.

Whatever it is,

it will wait
until morning.

Well, morning's
got its own list,

I'm afraid.

Listen, why don't
you go upstairs

and get some rest?

I'll be able to rest
when my job's done,

when you're
in city hall.

Cross our fingers.

Well, that won't
be necessary.

We're going to
get there anyway.

When I say I'm going
to do something,

I do it.

Okay, that's it.
The DNA confirms it.

We're looking
for a woman.

So she cut herself

and chipped
her fingernail

when she
picked up the TV.

It seems logical, the way
it was jammed into a vent

in the side
of the cabinet,

so I guess that means
Hiatt's in the clear,

at least personally,

now that we're
looking for a woman.

I hope that's not
disappointment

I hear in your voice.

...news conference is underway

in an attempt on the part
of Clifford Hiatt

and his supporters

to undo the damage
caused by today's news

that Hiatt is the subject
of police investigations

into the Hotel Perceval murders
two nights ago.

It's a scandal which,
regardless of outcome,

could spell the end
of Hiatt's political career.

HIATT: Good evening.

Natalie, what is it?

Thank you for coming.

I am innocent.

Look, Nick,
whatever you may be thinking,

this was not my intention.

Unfortunately,

the seed of doubt
has been planted.

Mr. Girard, will you kindly
explain to this committee

why you keep in your
refrigerator

bottles full
of animal blood?

[GASPING]

I choose
not to answer that question

under the protection

of the Fifth Amendment
to the Constitution.

Commie monster.

[YELLING]

Commie monster.

Order.

[GAVEL BANGING]

Order! Order!

It's very close
to the election,

as you all know...

I speak for myself,
and my family,

and, I think,

all of the people
who have supported me

in not only my decision
to run for mayor

but in the work I've done

on committees
that I've served on,

and in the other offices
that I have proudly held.

Uh...when I say
that the impact of this

has been
deeply felt...

[PEOPLE CLAMORING]

Mr. Girard,

the dean of Archaeology
is reported as saying

he'll review
your tenure.

Well, I've been
tried and convicted,

and my hearing's barely begun.

It's hardly a surprise
I've been sentenced as well.

Does this mean you'll
resign your position

as associate professor
of Archaeology?

Do I have a choice?

Uh...we can only hope
that the people of Toronto

will not let
this taint of scandal

sway their decisions

when it comes time
to go to the polls.

[APPLAUSE]

This guy
is all but conceding.

This isn't right.

Wait a minute.

We have to call
a press conference.

We could probably get it in
for the 11:00 news.

You can...you can play it,
you know, humble, humanitarian,

concerned for the state
of the system

and democracy in general,

and then we can...

We can urge
the people to...

to wait
for the police

to complete
their investigation

before they hold
anything against Hiatt,

which, of course,
they won't.

Yep.

We'll have
a press conference.

The election
is very close...

What's up?

One of the old
out-of-service numbers

in Reeves' book

was once listed
to Barbara Norton.

How long ago?

Almost 10 years,

when Reeves
was an alderman.

He'd have reason
to call her office

now and then. So?

It wasn't her office.

It wasn't even her
home number at the time.

It was an apartment
she kept in town.

An apartment in town.

Oh, baby, this is getting
better by the minute.

Better?

I mean, I mean, better
for us.

For the case. Honest.

It's all beginning
to add up.

Take a look at this.

Reeves' unfinished
Hiatt-Rothweiler exposé.

And this is a draft
of another article

he was working on

about the campaign
in general,

but take a look at this.

Over and over,

he misspells "from",
f-o-r-m, "form."

Six out of ten times.

Some bad typing habit.

And yet, returning to
the great Rothweiler exposé,

the typing tutor
paid off.

No more typos.

The Rothweiler article's
dummied up.

And planted by our killer.

Someone who wants us
to believe

that either Hiatt
or someone working for him

snuffed Reeves
to shut him up.

Somebody who, at
the considerable risk

of sounding partisan,

maybe had a prior role
in the hot satin sheets

with Gilbert
"the Joy Boy" alderman.

Or someone that has
an even bigger stake

in all this.

Where are you going?

To dig
a little deeper.

[¶]

We are here tonight
to get at the truth,

and be assured,
the truth will out.

This is a witch hunt,
sir,

and I don't understand

why you won't
listen to the truth

when you say
that's what you want.

We're not here
for explanations,

Mr. Girard.

We're here for answers.

I never said
anything about lying.

All I'm saying is that
there has clearly been

a misinterpretation
of the facts.

I've been tried
and convicted,

and the hearing's
barely begun.

It's hardly a surprise

I've been sentenced
as well.

[¶]

Schanke, it's time
to switch sides.

Hope you're not putting
too many wrinkles in your suit,

because we're live
in less than two.

Do you want me
to run through this with you

just to make sure that
you've got the attitude right?

No. I'm ready.

[REPORTERS CLAMORING]

What we have been witness to
in the last few days

is, in my estimation,

the very poorest excuse
for journalism,

and I hope Mr. Hiatt
will stay in the race.

I also implore the voters
not to encourage

a trend in the media

which threatens
the democratic process itself.

Do not let gossip-mongering

influence your decisions
on election day.

The mayoral contest,

until all this
innuendo started,

was being played out
on a level field,

the way
it's supposed to be.

Perhaps this evening

I can again level that field

by saying
that if it's association

that is determining
Mr. Hiatt's guilt,

then let it determine mine too.

I have...

I have spoken
to my family about this,

and I feel that it's important
I now share it with you.

I had a relationship
with Gilbert Reeves

some years ago.

By "relationship,"
do you mean an affair?

Before you married
Mr. Norton?

Did you have an affair,
Judge Norton,

with the man
who was murdered?

Yes or no,
Judge Norton?

Well, things are really
heating up on the election front

as both candidates

deal with their fair share
of scandal,

and I use the word "fair,"

because it was apparently
in a spirit of fairness

that Barbara Norton
just a few moments ago

decided to level the field

with the shocking revelation
that, some years ago,

she had a love affair
with journalist Gilbert Reeves,

one of the Hotel Perceval
murder victims.

Why?

I had to do it.

No. You didn't
have to do...

You didn't have
to do anything.

Why didn't you just do it
like I coached you?

I did what I thought
was right, Laura.

You betrayed me.

You betrayed
the city.

This is about the election.

This is about all the hard work
that we've done.

I'm sorry.

I realize that you have
worked very, very hard--

I have worked too damn hard

to let you give up on this
right now.

There's no giving up, Laura.

We both know
it's not going to be up to us--

That's a cop-out.

That's a lie.

How dare you even try
to give up now?

How dare you?

Don't take your eyes
off Barbara Norton.

She could be
in danger.

I just found some videotape

that makes a pretty good case
against Laura Neil.

I'll be right there.

What, Neil?
Norton's campaign manager?

Hello?

Move.
Get into the car.

Where are you
taking me?

To city hall...
like I promised.

What are you
doing here?

Maybe trying to save

your favorite
candidate's life.

Where is she?

Stepped out back
for some air--

And Laura Neil?
Right with her.

Damn!

What's going on?

Police! Hold it right there!

I sure hope she doesn't know
how to use that thing.

She knows. She knows.

Schanke.

Police business.
I need your car!

What's going on?

He wants to take my car.

Where are we going?

I told you I'd get
you to city hall.

[GASPS]

What do you mean,
we can't win, Barbara?

Here we are.

We made it, just like
I promised you.

You killed Gilbert,
didn't you?

He was going to blackmail you.

He was going to do it
the week of the election.

I wouldn't have had time
to fix it

so close to the election.

And the girl?

[SIRENS APPROACHING]

She might have been in on it.

I couldn't have
taken that chance.

I had to...
I had to insulate you.

That's my job, isn't it?
Spin control?

Oh, my God.

Laura, you--

Why?

You don't get it, do you?

Don't you understand?

Every single thing
you represent

really means
something to me.

What do you want
from me?

You don't understand,
do you?

Drop the gun and back away,
Laura.

I believed in you.

I did this
for the greater good.

Two people died
for what you believe in.

You had no right
to sacrifice them...

Don't!

[SIRENS WAILING]

whatever the cause,
whatever the reason.

I believed in you.

They will kill you, Laura.

Listen to her, Laura.
It's all over.

Don't...

Put the gun down and back away,
and do it now.

We're almost there, Barbara.

We're almost there.

[TIRES SCREECH]

[CRASH]

It's election night,
and Laura Neil,

Barbara Norton's
campaign spin doctor,

is in jail.

Pending psychiatric evaluation,
Neil awaits trial

on two counts
of first-degree murder

and one count of
possession of a deadly weapon.

Though candidates Barbara Norton
and Clifford Hiatt

have been cleared
in the murders,

the latest polls indicate

an overwhelming backlash
against Norton

in the aftermath

of what some local columnists
have dubbed

the sex scandal of the year.

That's a unique
figurine.

It's from the Upper
Paleolithic period.

You know, that
little piece of clay

is from a dig

that single-handedly
changed

modern archaeology's mind

about when the Paleolithic
period started.

It's a very,
very important piece.

It's fascinating.

Is that one too?

What?

A very,
very important piece?

Indeed.

You are looking
at a desk nameplate

taken from the Chicago
area circa 1954.

It represents the end
of a significant period

in the ongoing
transient life

of a certain
indigenous vampire.

You hated leaving
that one behind,

didn't you?

I know how you feel
about archaeology.

I had some
remarkable students,

and I think I was actually
making a difference.

I don't doubt it
for a moment.

You know,
it's never pleasant

moving on...

Particularly when
you have no choice.

Barbara! Barbara!

We love you!
Way to go!

We fought the good fight.

Yeah, Barbara.

We lost a few
important battles...

You're the best,
Barbara!

but we press on with the war.

[CHEERING]

Boy, she really got
creamed, didn't she?

Tried and convicted
by the press.

That's a trial you can
never hope to win.

You know, I think
I understand your reaction

to Schanke's
and my political...

Zealousness?

It still doesn't mean
that Barbara Norton

wouldn't have made
a great mayor.

Besides,
there's still next term.

This Laura Neil business
will all just blow over.

You know the problem

with people
like Laura Neil?

They think they've got
a monopoly on the truth.

It's a shame.

She's an intelligent
person.

She just let the spin
get out of control.

REPORTER: Barbara Norton
has conceded the election.

Clifford Hiatt
is the mayor-elect of Toronto.

[CHEERING]

Oh, perfect.
Just perfect.

What does he think
he's doing?

Being a terrible winner.
