He's been stalking me For months.

He sends me flowers With the heads chopped off

And leaves me messages like

"If I can't have you, No one will."

Things like that.

It's really scary.

A physical threat.

Maybe I can help you.

My son is a policeman.

I've told you, They won't do anything.

I get a little Defensive.

These are pretty good.

Thank you.

I was just thinking About your fan, patrick.

Just what are you To him?

Or were you to him?

Try and think back.

Any old boyfriends Or musicians?

Even disgruntled help?

Hmm.

Oh, there was This one roadie

In, uh, chicago, I think.

I don't remember his name, But I had to fire him.

When he was drunk, He came on to me.

Oh.

Where's he now?

Who knows? Roadies are like dust.

They come and go In the wind.

Who all knew that You'd been taken

To the hospital Last night?

Hmm... Mike, Claire, cinnamon.

Why?

Whoever tried to run us down

Couldn't have been Working alone.

Somebody had to tell them Where we'd be.

Well, it couldn't have been One of them.

They're my pals.

Maybe.

Tell me a little bit About them.

Why all the questions?

It seems that the police Department doesn't believe you.

I thought maybe I'd look into it for you.

You'd do that?

Mm-hmm.

You just lay low for a while.

Tell me about your pals.

Ow!

Oh!

What happened?

He's scared Of a little shot.

You sure He's a police officer?

Why is she my nurse?

She needs the practice.

You must be Very popular.

Steve: Those are for shanda.

"It's time, patrick."

Those are for shanda.

I never should have Agreed to this.

Relax. You're Being useful.

I'll stop by Right after the procedure.

You're not leaving me With her.

Delores is a very good nurse.

That's what she says, Anyway.

We'll have to find out, Won't we?

Dad, don't do this.

I'm your only son.

This is cruel.

Dr. Sloan...

How's our celebrity?

Doing very well.

Good.

Keep her happy, Dr. Sloan.

Celebrities like shanda Have funded whole wings

For important hospitals.

Believe in this link.

It must be built.

Say, mr. B, How you doing?

Bentley.

How's shanda doing?

She's fine.

Anything we can do?

We don't go back on Until tonight.

There is something.

See what you Can find out

About a roadie Named patrick.

Don't do anything Heroic.

Just find out Where he is.

Sure.

Okay, thanks.

Uh, what's a roadie?

What?

What's a roadie?

Where have you been-- Saturn?

So I don't read Rolling stone

So shoot me.

Hello?

♪ I've had some rough times ♪

♪ worked hard and tough ♪

♪ but I found my way Through the dark... ♪

Claire?

That's me.

I didn't recognize you Without your hair.

There was nobody here.

I just figured I'd wait.

That's cool.

What did you want To talk to me about?

You heard about the attempt On shanda's life yesterday.

Yeah, I did.

We're looking For an ex-roadie

Named patrick.

Oh, yeah, him.

You know him?

Not really. I remember him.

He had a real thing For shanda.

I haven't seen him Since he was canned.

Oh, I see.

Well, thanks anyway.

Anytime.

You know, I just wonder--

Could somebody

Be putting Patrick up to this?

What's any of this Got to do with me?

Well, someone might think That an angry backup singer

Who's maybe Too afraid to solo

Might have Some bad feelings.

Is that what Shanda told you?

Let me tell you something, doc.

Shanda as much as told me

That if I go it on my own, She'd have me blacklisted

At every major label In the country.

Can she do that?

Well, I sure as hell Don't want to find out.

Would you?

Hello?

Hello...

Ladies and gentlemen.

Yeah, I'm bad.

( cymbals playing )

( drums playing )

( clapping )

Not bad, doc.

I thought I was alone.

You're cinnamon, Aren't you?

Yep.

Claire said You might be here.

Would you mind answering A few questions?

About shanda?

Is she going to be okay?

She's going to be fine.

This is about a roadie Named patrick.

Don't know him.

There are dozens of roadies.

They change From city to city.

Oh, really?

I don't know much About this business.

What happens to you

If shanda can't Continue the tour?

I'll be all right.

I'll catch another tour Or do some studio work.

You'd leave shanda?

Oh, she wouldn't miss me.

I was under The impression

That you two...

Were lovers?

Yeah.

You can say it, Doc.

With shanda love is like One of her songs.

Short and not too sweet.

You know, uh, She still thinks you want her.

I mean, she thinks That you're mad

Because she dumped you.

Wrong on both counts, doc.

See, I dumped shanda For a reason.

Nothing's changed.

Oh, I see.

Okay. Thanks.

( clangs cymbal )

Fun.

Amanda: What are you doing?

We have been driving around For an hour and a half

Around the city aimlessly.

Jack: Driving, yes.

Aimlessly..?

Amanda: What are you doing?!

Jack: No.

This is a roadie bar, The skyline cafe.

Yeah?

And right there is a truck

With a busted taillight.

Don't say it.

I know I'm brilliant.

Do me a favor.

Let me do the talking.

Wait a minute.

You just happened To luck out the last time.

It is my turn, okay?

All right.

Can I make one suggestion?

Yeah, what?

Undo your seat belt.

That's him playing pool.

Let's get him.

Nice stick.

You know, I've been known to play

A little eight-ball myself.

Is this guy for real?

I'm talking to you.

You want To play a game?

Ten bucks, huh?

That's not the shot I'd take.

The angle is all wrong.

And even if by some miracle You make this shot

It really leaves you With nothing.

Well, talk is cheap, girlie.

Whatever.

50 bucks says I can clear this table.

What did I just tell you?

Would you relax?

I've been playing billiards Since I was a kid.

Billiards is A huge table.

Three balls And no pockets.

Same idea.

Watch out.

All right.

Six ball in the side.

All right.

Eleven ball, two banks In the corner.

Very good.

Very good.

Nine ball, Up and back.

Eight ball

Wide side.

Thank you.

That will be 50 bucks, please.

You know what--

Tell you what I'm going to do, patrick.

Double or nothing.

How did you know my name?

Did I say your name?

That was a lucky guess, okay.

Hang on, hang on.

Smooth.

To tell you The truth, patrick

Shanda told us where....

Jack!

Jack, are you okay?

You had to go double Or nothing.

Well...

What are you Doing here?

I just wanted to check And see how he's doing.

Thank god he's asleep.

He complained About his dinner, his foot

And he still won't let me Give him another shot.

In other words...

He's back to normal.

Delores, thank you For taking care of him.

Oh, don't mention it.

Of course, I'll never Let you forget it.

You owe me.

Big time.

Oh, mr. Briggs.

Norman, Nice to see you.

Thank you.

Thought I'd pay my respects To our patient.

Not a good idea, Norman.

Why not?

She's getting Her body waxed.

Her whole body?

Every inch.

I'll come back later.

I'll see That she gets these.

Ooh...

Whose idea was that?

Now this...

This is hot.

( door opening )

Hi.

Hi.

What's all this?

Oh, just a little token Of my appreciation.

Like it?

( chuckles )

Ready for your Fashion show?

What?

Start with this.

One arm.

Very good.

Other one in.

There you go. Excellent.

Ooh, yes.

I don't know what to say.

To be completed with these.

Ooh, yes, john.

Mm-hmm.

You are hot.

Hot, huh?

Mm-hmm.

( doorbell rings )

Oh, excuse me.

Hi.

Stewart: Hey! All right.

What do you think?

Hey!

You look cool.

Cool? I thought I was hot.

Whatever. Same difference.

What's going on? You've got that

Cat-that-ate-the-canary look On your face.

We found Your roadie, patrick.

He was playing pool In some bar

Down on state street.

Great. Where is he now?

Well, um... He got away.

You see, aman... Well, never mind.

What do you mean "Amanda," jack?

You stuck your face Into the situation.

I suppose I called him patrick And blew the whole deal.

So I said patrick, But he was buying it.

Buying what?

Excuse me, Could I just find out

What happened?

What happened was The guy broke a window

And escaped Out the back

But I'll tell you Something.

By the amount of blood On the window

This guy cut himself Pretty bad.

Sloan: Then we better check Every emergency room in the area

Just in case He needed stitches.

Already did.

Just waiting To hear back.

How'd you do today?

It looks to me like claire, The backup singer

And cinnamon, The drummer

Are both Likely suspects.

They're not as good of friends As you thought, shanda.

What about magic mike?

Don't know yet.

Magic mike: Doc, this whole patrick thing Is scary.

I thought at first The guy was like a wacko fan

But he really wants To kill her.

Sure looks like it to me.

Course, if he did, You'd be a very rich man.

What are you talking about?

Well, two-million-dollar Insurance policy

On shanda's life

With you As the sole beneficiary.

That is standard procedure, doc.

Shanda is big business.

The product, got it?

The product.

She goes down, She leaves a lot of debts.

I'm the one responsible.

You understand.

Unless, of course, She replaces you.

No.

Pay no attention, doc.

Shanda's just like that.

She blows hot and cold All the time.

She did say something About being unhappy

With the low number Of concert dates.

And that's supposed to be My fault?!

Look, doc, last year

She's supposed to be singing In milwaukee.

I can't find her for two weeks.

She says it's 'cause She lost her voice.

I find out later

She's in nashville The whole time

And probably shacked up!

Listen, doc...

Word gets around.

Unreliable...

Unmanageable...

She's lucky I could Even fill this tour for her.

Now you trust me.

She's nowhere Without me right now.

Marge, I am out of here.

Lucky you.

I just started.

Ooh, yes.

Well, well, well.

Where are we going Tonight?

A ride on the harley, Perhaps?

( fake laugh )

You are so funny.

I know, But where are we going?

Ooh, check out The collar.

I'm going over To mark's house

Do a little patient follow-up.

Excuse me, Dr. Stewart.

There's a call for you From dr. Barham

At county general.

This could be about our stalker.

Hello?

Yeah, this is dr. Stewart.

Uh-huh.

Yeah, yeah, Last night.

Let's say Sometime after...

Around 9:00.

9:00.

He did.

Uh-huh.

Yeah. Hey, look, Did you get an address on him?

That's great. Thanks a lot.

Hey, wait a minute.

What happened?

Last night a guy fitting Our description

Came into the e.R.

With a deep laceration On his right arm.

Needed 30 stitches To sew him up

And he gave his address As the newhouse hotel.

Beautiful. Let's go.

Where are you going?

Guess.

Oh...

What?

I can't go?

What are you doing?

This is breaking And entering.

The door was open.

Technically, We're just entering.

Come on.

No. Come on, Let's go.

You get in here.

No.

( moans )

A roadie's home Is his hovel.

I wonder who our roadie's Been calling.

By the looks

Of the interior decorating In here

Probably was The shanda hotline.

One of those 800 numbers.

Hold on. Hold on.

Hello?

Who's this?

This is shanda.

Who's this?

This is dr. Jack stewart.

Shanda, has anybody Called you today?

Yeah, but it was a wrong number.

They hung up when I answered.

I want you to lock all the doors And call the cops.

Why? Why should I..?

Don't ask. Just do it.

What's up?

He knows where she is.

( gunfire )

( screaming )

Oh, god!

It was him!

It was patrick, And he killed claire!

What are you doing Out of bed?

I was released This morning.

How's your foot?

It's fine.

You shouldn't be on it.

Remember the roadie That was stalking shanda?

Yeah.

He won't be Stalking her anymore.

You got him?

Looks like he got himself.

We just found him

In his hotel room.

Single bullet To the head.

Apparent suicide.

I got the photos.

A nine-millimeter semiautomatic Baretta was used.

The shell casing Matches the casings

We found outside On the street

At your house.

That's the gun.

Which hand was the gun in?

Right.

Tell me something.

This particular gun--

The shell casings eject On the side, don't they?

Uh-huh. To the right And slightly back

To be exact.

So if a driver's sitting In the driver's seat--

A right-handed guy In a moving car--

Then he would have to aim Kind of like that, right?

The shell casings would eject Right back in the car.

But if he fired With his left hand

Out the window

The shells would eject Back onto the street

Where I found them.

Look which hand The watch is on.

But if he was left-handed

Why was the gun In his right hand?

'cause he didn't commit suicide.

So if patrick Was murdered...

Mm-hmm.

Presumably to keep him quiet

Then the question is, Who murdered him?

What's your guess, mark?

Cinnamon or magic mike?

I don't know.

I still need A few questions answered.

Maybe this will help.

♪ I've had some rough times... ♪

That girl sounds great, Doesn't she?

Where did you get this?

Shanda give that to you?

Not exactly.

You know, I think I'd like To see shanda once again.

♪ I've had some rough times ♪

♪ worked hard and tough ♪

♪ but I found my way Through the dark... ♪

Cut!

Cut! Are you deaf?

Honey, why don't you Take a break.

You're working Way too hard.

I wouldn't want

To see you In the hospital again.

Dr. Sloan, What are you doing here?

I'm all better, remember?

I just thought I should tell you--

Patrick's dead.

Oh, god.

What happened?

Right now the police Are saying suicide

But I think it was murder.

Murder.

By whom?

By the one person He trusted.

Loved, probably.

The one person He'd do anything for

Including planning Claire's murder

And making it look

Like a mistaken attempt To kill you.

You're saying

He was after claire The whole time?

Yeah, from the beginning.

Isn't that right, shanda?

Why are you asking me?

Because you're Behind all this.

You got patrick To make those threats.

That attempt to run over us At the restaurant

Was a way of making me scared That patrick was a real threat.

You better Have proof, doc.

I don't have To listen to this.

Would you like to know Where you made

Your first mistake?

Amanda found my phone number In patrick's apartment.

Not my regular number, But my private

Unlisted number.

I checked with the phone company

And several calls were made To that number

From patrick's apartment.

So what?

He could have gotten That number from anyone.

Yes, it's true, But, uh, I found this

In patrick's apartment That night.

It's a phone bill For his cellular phone.

At the time we were Almost run down

He received a phone call here.

I called the number.

It was the restaurant.

I think you called him When you went to the rest room.

Doc, I think you're the one That needs the rest.

Really, this whole story Is just bizarre.

Now, if you'll excuse me

I do have a concert To prepare for.

Mike, could we take it From the top?

Hey, pal, relax.

You'll miss the best part.

Claire was getting ready To leave you

And without her, You'd have no career.

Oh, don't make me laugh.

She's nothing But a backup singer.

Jack, would you start

The cassette, please?

♪ I've had some rough times, Worked hard and tough ♪

♪ but I found my way Through the dark... ♪

It's shanda's song. So what?

It is shanda's song.

But it's claire singing.

I don't know what You're talking about.

That's me on the tape.

Then you wouldn't mind perhaps Singing it for us, in person?

I have a pretty good ear.

I think it goes Something like this.

Just jump in there anywhere.

I'm sorry.

When I first examined you

I noticed you'd had That polyp removed.

I didn't think much of it At the time

Until mike told me About that time

You secretly went off To nashville.

An old colleague Of mine, dr. Gatey...

Quite a famous throat surgeon In nashville.

Treats all the great vocalists.

He told me he removed that polyp

But that your vocal chords Were so badly damaged

You'd probably Never sing again.

So you had claire sing for you.

You can always get somebody To sing for you

But you couldn't let claire Walk away with that secret.

She was never me.

She could never be me.

She's nothing but a backup.

Oh, yeah, maybe She's got the voice

But I got the stuff.

I sweated too long And too hard to let her walk.

I'm shanda.

People come screaming To see me.

Me!

It's over, baby.

It's over.

I got to hand it to you.

You really pulled It out, mark.

Thank you.

Where did you get Patrick's phone bill?

Oh, this?

This is a grocery list Delores gave me.

Come on.

No.

Mark, wait a minute.

Dr. Sloan

Can I talk to you For a moment?

( whistles )

Isn't it beautiful?

It is beautiful.

As soon as shanda Is well enough

I'll discuss the new wing

With her.

Well, I'm sure

She'll be as impressed As I am.

When can I talk With her?
