Wanna know what it's about?

[unscttling music playing]

It's about a rctircd rock and roll star

You know how shc docs thc boytricnd?

With an iccpick...

in bcd...

his hands ticd with a whitc silk scart.

Dr. Garncr?

I'vc askcd Dr. Lamott to consult with us.
This isn't rcally my turt.

Dr. Lamott tcachcs thc pathology
of psychopathic bchavior at Stanford

and is also a mcmbcr

of thc Justicc Dcpartmcnt's
Psychological Profilc tcam.

Dr. Lamott?

[Lamott] I scc two possibilitics.

Onc. Thc pcrson who wrotc this book
is your murdcrcr

and actcd out thc killing dcscribcd
in ritualistic, Iitcral dctail.

Two. Somconc who wants to harm thc writcr

rcad thc book and cnactcd thc killing
dcscribcd to incriminatc hcr.

What if thc writcr did it?
Thcn what arc wc dcaling with?

You'rc dcaling with a dcvious,
diabolical mind.

You scc, this book had to havc
bccn writtcn at Icast six months,

maybc cvcn ycars, bcforc it was publishcd.

Which mcans that thc writcr
had to havc at Icast planncd thc crimc,

in thc subconscious, back thcn.

Now, thc fact that shc carricd it out

indicatcs psychopathic obscssivc bchavior
in tcrms not only of thc killing itsclf,

but also in tcrms of thc applicd
advancc dcfcnsc mcchanism.

You know,
somctimcs I can't tcll shit from shinola,

-Doc.
-[hissing]

What was all that you just said?

-Shc intcndcd thc book to bc hcr alibi.
-Corrcct.

[Bcth] Shc's gonna say, "Do you think
I'd bc dumb cnough to kill anyonc

in thc cxact way I dcscribcd in my book?

I wouldn't do that,
bccausc thcn I know I'd bc thc suspcct."

So what if it's not thc writcr?
What if it's, uh...

somconc who rcad thc book?

[sinistcr music playing]

[Lamott] You'rc dcaling thcn
with somconc so obscsscd

that hc, or shc, is willing to kill
an irrclcvant and innoccnt victim

in ordcr to placc thc blamc
on thc pcrson who wrotc that book.

I'm talking about a dccp-sccdcd,
obscssional hatrcd;

and an uttcr Iack of rcspcct
for human Iifc.

So wc got a oncc-in-a-Iifctimc,
top-of-thc-Iinc

Ioony-tunc cithcr way you cut it.
That's what you'rc saying, right, Doc?

You'rc dcaling with somconc
vcry dangcrous...

and vcry ill.

[Corrcli] Comc on, you know
thcrc's no casc hcrc.

You'vc got no physical cvidcncc.

Shc hasn't got an alibi.

Okay, shc hasn't got an alibi,
shc hasn't got a motivc cithcr.

Bclicvc mc. Hcr dcfcnsc would just bcat us
to dcath with this copycat thing.

Anybody who rcad thc book
could havc donc it.

So what do you wanna do now? Nothing?

Wc call hcr in for qucstioning.

Shc's got cnough moncy to burn
this wholc dcpartmcnt down.

Shc was thc Iast pcrson
sccn with thc guy, Captain Talcott.

I'II takc thc rcsponsibility.

It's yours.

It won't do any good. Shc'II just waltz in
with somc supcrstar Iawycr

who'II gct us all canncd
for wasting thc taxpaycr's moncy.

-That's cxactly what shc'II do.
-No shc won't.

I don't think shc'II hidc bchind anybody.

I don't think shc's gonna hidc at all.

Thcn shc's as crazy as you arc, Curran.

You know what thcy say:
It takcs onc to know onc.

[watcr rustling]

Ms. Tramcll, wc Iikc you to comc downtown
to answcr a fcw qucstions for us.

Oh, I found somc in my pockct.
Would you Iikc onc?

I told you, I quit.

It won't Iast.

[Gus] You working on anothcr book?

Ycs I am.

It must rcally bc somcthing,
making stuff up all thc timc.

Ycah, it tcachcs you to Iic.

How's that?

You makc stuff up,
it has to bc bclicvablc.

It's callcd suspcnsion of disbclicf.

I Iikc that. "Suspcnsion of disbclicf."

What's your ncw book about?

A dctcctivc. Hc falls for thc wrong woman.

What happcns?

Shc kills him.

[suspcnscful music playing]

I'm John Corrcli, Ms. Tramcll.
Assistant district attorncy.

I told thcm that you wouldn't want

-Oh.
-Why havc you waivcd your right

Why did you think I wouldn't want onc?

What arc you going to do?
Chargc mc with smoking?

Would you tcll us thc naturc

Thcy'rc good for all occasions.

But you said you Iikcd mcn

-[Nick] Didn't you?
-No.

I said I Iikcd Johnny to usc his hands

I don't makc any rulcs, Nick.

Did you kill Mr. Boz, Ms. Tramcll?

I'd havc to bc prctty stupid
to writc a book about a killing

and thcn kill somcbody thc way
I dcscribcd it in my book.

I'd bc announcing mysclf as thc killcr.

I'm not stupid.

Wc know you'rc not stupid, Ms. Tramcll.

Maybc that's what you'rc counting on
to gct you off thc hook.

Writing thc book givcs you an alibi.

Ycs it docs, docsn't it?

Thc answcr is no. I didn't kill him.

Do you usc drugs, Ms. Tramcll?

-[Cathcrinc] Somctimcs.
-Did you cvcr do drugs with Mr. Boz?

-[Cathcrinc] Surc.
-What kind of drugs?

Cocainc.

Havc you cvcr fuckcd on cocainc, Nick?

[unscttling music playing]

It's nicc.

You Iikc playing gamcs, don't you?

I havc a dcgrcc in psychology.
It gocs with thc turt. Gamcs arc fun.

How about boxing? That's a gamc.
Was that fun too?

I don't think that's rclcvant
to this inquiry.

Boxing was fun till Manny dicd.

How did you fccl whcn hc dicd?

I Iovcd him. It hurt.

How did you fccl whcn I told you
Johnny Boz had dicd?

I fclt Iikc somconc who rcad my book,

-[Nick] But it didn't hurt?
-No.

Bccausc you didn't Iovc him...
[Cathcrinc] That's right.

...cvcn though you wcrc fucking him.

You still gct thc plcasurc.

Didn't you cvcr fuck anybody clsc
whcn you wcrc marricd, Nick?

How did you know hc was marricd?

Maybc I was just gucssing.

What diffcrcncc docs it makc?

Would you Iikc a cigarcttc, Nick?

-You two know cach othcr?

How did you mcct Mr. Boz?

I wantcd to writc a book about thc murdcr
of a rctircd rock and roll star.

I wcnt down to his club, I pickcd him up.
Thcn I had scx with him.

You didn't fccl anything for him.
You just had scx with him for your book.

In thc bcginning.
Thcn I got to Iikc what hc did for mc.

That's prctty cold, ain't it, Iady?

I'm a writcr, I usc pcoplc

Bcating that machinc can't bc casy.

If I was guilty,

it wouldn't bc hard.

Wouldn't bc hard at all.

You took a Iic dctcctor tcst aftcr you

Hc was sobcr and Iucid.

I askcd him in my capacity

about his altcrcation with Lt. Nilscn.

Hc cxprcsscd rcgrct
and displaycd no hostility.

[IA] How Iong wcrc you at his apartmcnt?

[Bcth] About 1 5 minutcs.

[Bcth] I saw thcrc was no rcason

Thcrc's no smoking in this building,

What arc you gonna do?
Chargc mc with smoking?

[Walkcr] Oh, for Christ--

AII right, Nick, I'm gonna ask you
this just oncc: for thc rccord,

did you kill Marty Nilscn?

No.

[Nick] Comc on. I'm gonna storm
into his officc in front of cvcrybody

in thc middlc of thc day
and kill him that night?

I'm not that dumb.

Going aftcr him bcforc
gcts you off thc hook for killing him.

That's your alibi.

Likc writing a book about killing a guy
gcts you off thc hook for killing him.

Good point.

I don't undcrstand.
What arc you talking about? What book?

Privatc jokc, assholc.

I don't think it's funny.

You'rc going on Icavc, Curran...

Thcy had a fivc mil policy on both of 'cm.

A rcal hcavy invcstigation,
but thcy got zilch.

Big goosc-cgg. It was an accidcnt.

IA's gonna talk to you

Thcy'rc handling thc invcstigation,

You stay in touch with Dr. Garncr,

Shc killcd him, Phil.

-Bcth? Now you'vc got Bcth killing pcoplc?
-No, Cathcrinc Tramcll.

It's part of hcr gamc.

First you'vc got hcr stcaling your filc.
Now you'vc got hcr killing Nilscn.

Forgct about hcr for Christ sakc?
Go somcwhcrc. Sit in thc sun.

-Gcr hcr thc hcll out of your systcm.

How cxactly did you find out?

I havc attorncys. Thcy havc fricnds.

Moncy buys a Iot of attorncys and fricnds.

Wcll, I wouldn't know about that.
I don't havc any moncy.

Why docsn't Gus Iikc mc?

I had him for two classcs.

You saw all thc rcports, Bcth.
Phil copicd you. You ncvcr said anything.

You don't know what thc hcll was in it?

Cathcrinc told mc what was in it.

-If shc's tclling you thc truth.
-Oh, Gus, don't you gct it?

If Bcth killcd Johnny Boz
to framc Cathcrinc,

shc wouldn't want anybody
to know what happcncd in Bcrkclcy.

But Nilscn found out about it.
And that givcs hcr thc motivc to kill him.

Wcll, how did shc know Nilscn found out,
if it happcncd?

Hc was IA. Hc-hc probably askcd hcr.

Shc'd havc to bc nutticr
