Where are you?

Am I doing it right?

What is it that you want?

Am I doing this right?

What is it that you want?

Am I doing this right?

Are you still out there?

Are you still watching me?

All right, what do you got for me,
buddy?

20K.

20K.

Perfume. Purchase order says 15.

So you should have some scheduling.

Hey, where are you going? Wait a minute,
wait a minute, wait a minute. Hey, wait

a minute. Where are you going?

Come back here.

Let me tell you something.

Don't be in a hurry.

Let me show you something about the way
things work around here.

Now, on this pallet, you know what you
got? You got 20 cases of perfume.

That's five cases for that truck right
there. See?

No, no.

Nobody's going to know the difference.
You understand?

Won't be any problem.

Five cases of perfume in every bottle
worth $206 a pop.

So why don't you just take this little
bottle of perfume for your early

Christmas bones, and you go about your
business, okay?

Well, I hear you. Loud and clear.

Bouncing something.

Let me tell you something.

On this dock, Either everybody's in or
everybody's out.

Right now, you're the only one that's
out.

Hey, guys, what the hell are you waiting
for?

Hold it right there! Please!

Freeze! Don't be moved!

Finish!

Stand on the ground!

Please!

Just keep it fresh.

See no evil, hear no evil, speak no
evil.

Get him out of here.

You okay?

Yeah, you?

Yeah, yeah, I'm all right.

See, if you carry your piece, you could
have shot him in the head.

Nick. Stop right there. I don't want to
get into that again.

Did we get everything?

Yeah, yeah, everything came out loud and
clear.

Now we got about five hours of paperwork
and interrogation.

Thank God.

Tomorrow I'm going back to homicide. I'm
getting too old for this. Hey,

congratulations. I'll buy you a beer.
Nah, I got a couple of coupons and

scissors. I'm taking the old lady out
tonight.

Now, wait a minute.

What's that fancy new job type of yours?

Corporate security, field operations
director.

And you want to buy me beer? Mm -hmm.

Put it on the tab. Give me some
champagne.

Okay. Hey, let me ask you this.

What's it like to be an ex -cop working
for a perfume company like Lanta?

Number of messages received, zero.

Hi, Steve, it's Lauren. Listen, I just
finished this assignment today, and I

wanted to go out and celebrate. You want
to join me?

Oh, that's all right. No, no problem.

Yeah, another time.

Mm -hmm.

Okay, bye.

It's been disconnected.

Ms. Lantell is in the studio. She wants
to see you as soon as you got in.

Of course she does.

And also, you have a message here from a
Detective Palermo.

Thanks. Okay.

Excellent. Great.

More of that, Dawn? Head back? Perfect.
Just like that. There we go.

Right there.

Morning, Grace.

Lauren.

I understand our doc theft problem has
been taken care of.

Well, for now.

Remember Anton's sensuality.

Push it, but keep it sensual.

The illusion, not the act itself.

So, how goes our investigation on the
economy?

We're setting up a bye next week. That's
to give us enough to start proceeding.

I have something you might be interested
in.

What might that be?

Well, there was a murder last night. A
woman was killed.

Yeah, well, it happens in a city like L
.A. What's it got to do with us?

I don't know if it does, but I got a tip
from a friend on the force, and this

one's a little bit different.

You're losing me, Lauren.

The victim was doused in perfume.

Oh, yeah?

What brand?

Desire.

My perfume?

Could have been Georgia.

But it wasn't.

Can't be too careful in this business.
Not all publicity is good.

What do you want me to do?

Look into it further. Get some more
details.

You look lovely today.

Don't let me keep you any longer.

And I think it should be more like this.

You don't mind, do you, my dear?

Hello, I work for the Lampel
Corporation. I'm looking for Detective

It's okay.

Let him in.

I didn't expect you to come down here.

Yeah, well, my boss gets nervous easily.

Yeah, my captain gets nervous easily.

Come on, give me a break.

All right, a quick look. Okay.

Who was the victim?

Nicole Myers.

Funny. Used to date a girl in high
school named Nicole.

What happened?

Ah, she dumped.

But whoever did this wasn't interested
in money.

Loosed cash all over the place. The
jewelry box was untouched.

Anyway, that's the reason I called you.
I found it right next to the body.

Sounds like it smelled all over the
bedroom.

Whoever the sickie is, put it all over
her body intentionally.

Hey, Ronnie, come here.

Hey.

What do you think it is? Found this
under the bed. Stinks too.

The blotter stick.

They use it to test fragrance.

Hey, Captain, just come here. Make
yourself small. Okay, thanks a lot,

As a service to our customers, we accept
phone orders. Usually we send them out

Federal Express or UPS.

Do you have same -day delivery?

In rare instances like that, we'll have
a clerk or stock boy take it to the

customer. That would be someone from
this store?

Exactly.

I'm impressed.

You take good care of your customers.
Well, we have a very discriminating

clientele. If there's any problem, you
have the clerk talk to me.

Okay. Thank you.

Gorgeous, aren't they?

Excuse me?

The ad.

Such a beautiful body.

Can I help you?

Actually, I'd just like to buy some
perfume.

What would you like to see?

This.

Here.

Buy a little more.

Smells great, doesn't it?

I know.

Is that what you always wear?

No, it's...

It's for a friend of mine. It's her
birthday, and I've waited till the last

minute, so, uh... Could you have some
delivered today?

Certainly. Great.

And just fill this out with the name and
address of where you want it delivered.

This evening okay?

Yeah, thank you.

So how have Thales been?

Oh, just great.

All this, she doesn't deserve it.

What do you mean?

Oh, there is a rumor that Miss Lantel
didn't create them.

She likes everybody to think.

Really? Who did? A perfumer named Gordon
Lewis.

I think he's with Florentine Cosmetics
now.

Interesting.

Do you know who might be delivering this
tonight?

A young man named Kevin.

Kevin.

Will this be cash or charge?

Cash.

Coming. Coming.

Yes?

Hi, I have a delivery for Miss Allen
from the Beverly Department Store.

You're Kevin.

What's your last name?

Erickson. Do I know you? Not really.

Come in.

Thanks.

Well, I need you to sign here.

Okay. Listen, can I get you some water?

And a drink?

Nothing.

It doesn't work.

Here.

Here's my pen.

Good.

Thanks.

This is a nice place you got here. Do
you live here alone, or what?

No, I have a roommate.

Yeah? Still a nice place you got.

Um, listen.

The helicopter, George, you can't come
in here.

Bye.

Is everything okay?

I know what you want.

Talk to me.

And I know what you want.

I mean...

That's

what you want, huh?

You wanted to see me?

I strongly suggested to the police chief
that you liaison on this problem.

I don't think that's a good idea.

Oh, really?

Grace, two women have been killed.
That's homicide. It's not exactly

counterfeits or warehouse theft.

It'll either be you or your replacement.

Fine.

Lauren, listen to me.

I need someone to make sure the police
are doing all they can do. I need

I can trust who'll keep me informed.

I don't trust anyone but you.

Only if I can work with someone I know.

I'll take care of it.

The phones haven't stopped ringing since
this hit the news.

I'm introducing the full line tomorrow.

This couldn't be worse timing.

Okay, look, do you know anyone who has
anything against you or the company?

Please, it's competitive business.

Must be plenty.

Is that help?

The shots arrived.

Thank you.

May I have your attention, everyone?

I'd like to thank all of you for joining
us for the unveiling of our entire new

desire line.

Come in.

Thank you.

Please enjoy the rest of your evening.

My God, we are knocked out tonight.

Hey. Sorry I'm late.

It's all right. It was a last -minute
invitation.

From all I hear, it's less of an
invitation, more of a command.

Right from the chief to the captain to
me. It reminds me of a doleman I used to

have. First try to lick your hand, and
later bite it. Yeah, well, she has a way

about her.

Especially when her interests are at
stake.

Excuse me.

So tell me, what'd you get?

A card.

What is it?

Fish. Oh.

You all right?

Yeah.

So what do you got?

Not much.

Parcels on a broken bottle. Got a print
from the first victim's front door.

The murder weapon was a double -edged
knife.

What about a six -inch blade?

Hey, does the name Cynthia Hoffman ring
a bell?

No. Should it? Nah, it's just a girl's
name. We're still swinging in the dark.

Listen, I gotta call my wife and tell
her I'm gonna be late. Where's the...

it's right through there. Right back.

Yeah? I'll be at the bar.

All right, I'll...

Sorry. I'm going to the bar.

Yeah, I was just on my way to speak to
someone.

Maybe the bar's a better idea.

May I?

Two

champagnes,

please.

Thank you.

Cheers. Cheers.

So I assume you know Grace?

Could say that.

You? Oh, I'm here with a friend. He's on
the phone.

He's a lucky friend.

Look, enjoy your drink.

Yeah. Maybe another time.

Okay.

Hey, pal.

57 Thunderbird. Don't speak.

Hey, listen, uh, Sunday I'm gonna
barbecue.

What do you say? Come on over, talk a
little?

It's your day off.

Day off? I got the whole tribe that's
gonna be there.

I'll think about it. Oh, you're gonna
think about it.

Hey, do me a favor.

Oh, now you want a favor. What do you
want?

Get me a key to the last victim's
apartment.

Why? Well, you never know. A fresh eye
might pick something up.

You never know.

Okay, one condition.

I'll be there Sunday.

Be careful.

Yeah, yeah, see you Sunday.

This is Cynthia.

I'm either out for a while or busy in
bed.

Sleeping, that is.

Let me know when I can call you back.

Your son is beautiful.

He may have the angelic look of his
Irish mother, but I'm sure his

going to be Damien.

I found something at Cynthia Hoffman's
apartment.

Yeah? What'd you find?

A bottle of custom -made perfume.

What do you mean, custom -made?

Well, if you have enough money, you can
have your own fragrance made for you.

Is that right?

But the interesting thing is it was
created by Gordon Lewis.

What's his connection?

He's a nose.

Nose? Like in, uh, broken nose?

No, it's an industry term for a guy who
creates perfume.

Master perfumer kind of. All right, I
think I understand it. Get to the

punchline. Well, he worked for Lantel.

So I checked the records, and apparently
he was fired.

That doesn't make him much of a suspect.

Well, no, I mean, there's no direct link
to the Myers case, but...

Do you remember that paper stick we
found at her apartment?

It was not a paper stick.

It's a fragrance bladder.

Ooh, you're catching on.

Well, anyway, that is an essential tool
in the perfumer trade. Like a wrench to

a mechanic, a spatula to a gourmet chef?

Something like that.

I think they're done. Huh?

Yeah,

I think they're done. They're burnt.
Burnt? You don't know food. Get out of

here. Just like my wife.

Everybody ready to eat?

Yeah? Oh, wait, I'm not done.

You want to do what?

I want to send Lauren in as her
customer, just like the last girl. I

part. He's our only real... Detective

Palermo, I thought I heard something in
there about $5 ,000.

Yeah, we got to, um... Well, she... We
got to mix the perfume.

Perfume? He just dragged his ass in
here.

Can't drag his ass in here. His attorney
won't let us. And your pal, the DA,

ain't helping.

$5 ,000 for a bottle of perfume.

You know, I've heard of some left -field
approaches in my time. But using a

civilian as bait? She's just gonna meet
with him, get his prints, see if they

match the partials. That's it, in and
out.

I'm Dan from Snowy. Think of something
else.

I don't even know.

Cap, come here. Let's talk.

Guillermo, you like your job.

There's nothing to move.

Thanks, Ty.

Let's get out of here.

No. No, no!

None of it works. It's all crap. You're
not getting another cent out of me until

I get something decent.

Something wrong with the rose?

It's personal. So what have you found
out?

Unfortunately, not much more than you
already know.

Sales have dropped.

Stocks fell today.

Calls keep coming in. Women are afraid
to wear my perfume. What the hell are

police doing about this?

Investigations like this take time. Tell
me about it.

This is Gordon Lewis.

He used to work for you. What can you
tell me about him?

He's an asshole.

He's also a suspect.

Really?

Yeah, but we're having some trouble
trying to talk to him.

How can I help?

Listen up. Now, you're to go in and get
prints.

I want you wearing a wire. Do I make
myself clear?

Yes, sir.

I'm having you deputized. I want you
carrying a gun and ready to use it.

Now, do you have any problem with that?

Look, lady, I don't care what kind of
connections got you here, but for this

job, your sworn loyalties are to the
LAPD. Clear?

Yes, sir.

What's wrong with you?

You put him up to that, didn't you?

Nick, you know I don't carry a gun.

Hey, wait a minute. That was the
captain's call.

We know why you left the force. No one's
blaming you for it.

What's that supposed to mean? Oh, you
still don't understand what this is all

about. We all take a certain risk. We
know that going in. We just try to cope

with it. That's all.

Yeah, well, I did a great job coping,
didn't I? Hey, listen.

I'm not a counselor, all right?

Could you carry the piece?

Hold your fire.

Oh, no.

Hold the fire.

Don't shoot.

Did you hear her?

Nikki, can you hear me?

Here I go.

Come here.

Hello?

Lauren Allen?

I called earlier this week.

Right this week.

Mr. Lewis, your appointment is here.
Lauren Allen.

Hello.

We almost bumped into each other. Nice
to see you again.

Yes, this is a coincidence.

Oh, look, give me a moment. Take a seat.

Deborah, take care of the panic test.

This will be tested to break down your
odor signature.

Ah, I was wondering what that was for.

Maya? Fresh coffee beans.

Not much of a breakfast.

Sorry about that. I know I'm supposed to
have water, but I'm kind of a hard to

start.

Ivory soap.

She even breathes sexy.

No shampoo this morning.

Good.

We want nothing perfumed to interfere
with the natural aroma.

It's on you.

Stand up, please.

You see, a human smell is like a
fingerprint.

No two are alike.

Well, uh... This is what I usually wear.

Please put that back.

Um, do you mind stepping outside?

No.

Is there a problem?

I won't make you a perfume.

Why not?

It can be a waste of your money. I'm
quite short for even a successful broker

like yourself. My prices are, well,
extravagant.

It's an incredible gift.

I rarely run into it.

When?

The next weekend.

You know, I never noticed it when we
first met. There were too many competing

smells.

There is one perfume that could do it
justice, but that's already on the

Well, what's that?

To use anything would be like splashing
aftershave on a fresh rose petal.

Well, thank you.

You say you know what I ate for
breakfast and what soap I used.

So what else can you tell me that you
wouldn't possibly know except by smell?

A rose petal who isn't wearing any
undergarments.

A rose petal who isn't wearing any

undergarments.

A rose petal isn't wearing any
undergarments. The man's a pervert.

Why couldn't you get the prints?

He wouldn't touch the bottle.

What do you mean, wouldn't touch the
bottle? All you had to do was say,

me, Mr. Lewis, you're an expert. What do
you think of this fragrance?

Bingo.

We got his prints.

I think I didn't try that. He wouldn't
touch it.

And what's this about you two guys met
before?

He was at Graceland Tell's premiere.

Yeah? I don't remember seeing him there.

I don't know. It's only about 200
people, though.

200 people.

Hey, listen.

We still got to figure out an angle to
get these prints.

I'm quite sure for even a successful
broker like yourself my price is up.

try looking.

It's an incredible gift.

I rarely run into it.

When?

The natural scent.

You know, I never noticed it when we
first met. There were too many competing

smells.

There is one person that could do it
justice.

But that's already on the market.

Do you like this?

Do you like what I'm doing?

Oh, it smells so good.

Do you like the way this smells on me?

Don't hurt me.

Please.

Please don't hurt me.

Please.

Yeah, Detective Palermo.

Detective 17, please.

Yeah, this is Nick.

What is it?

Oh, no.

All right.

Come on, give me the address. Hold on,
hold on.

Wait a minute.

Yep, I got it. All right, I'll be right
over.

Thanks.

Hey, Lauren.

Yeah.

We got another one.

All right, people.

I'm sure you've all heard of the FBI's
Behavioral Science Unit.

This is Special Agent Hollow.

Why don't we start with the physical
characteristics?

Thank you, Captain.

Ladies and gentlemen, the vast majority
of serial killers are white

males. But occasionally we have females,
blacks, Hispanics, age range, mid -20s

to mid -30s.

Expect that the person you're dealing
with has little or no history of crime.

Well, how does the perfume fit in?

We're talking about one brand, right?
That's correct.

Okay, it's my guess.

That it relates to some sort of a grudge
or an obsessive fixation.

When not killing in a hallucinatory
daze, these people hold down steady

You want to keep up that surface
appearance of normalcy. Many, many

friends, relatives, they don't even
suspect.

They do stalk their prey.

Many are drifters and move around.

Maybe yours has already.

We try to follow these M .O .s state to
state.

Usually they never deal with the issues
inside, so...

It continues until they're caught or
they commit suicide.

Try the oranges. They're delicious.

Hello.

Look, I didn't mean to frighten you, but
as I was leaving, I saw you in the

parking lot.

Oh.

Seems we keep bumping into each other.
Yeah.

Gordon Lewis.

Yes, I remember.

Look, can I buy you a cup of coffee?

Sure. Yeah.

So I was surprised to see you here.

You know, I come here because it has
some of the most extraordinary

in Los Angeles.

Everything's fresh.

Virgin.

Look, I've done it again.

I didn't mean to embarrass you the other
day.

That's all right. It was, um, unique.

You have to understand, I sense things
that others don't.

You know, I don't just smell a
fragrance.

It's almost as if I see it, as if it's
like colors in the air.

You see fragrances?

You think I'm making this up?

No.

Did I take your money?

No.

Then why should I lie to you?

So tell me, what kind of people come to
you to have their fragrances made?

Women who want to stand out from the
crowd.

They care about more than just their
appearances.

Do you have any famous clients?

Yeah, a few.

Who?

Come on, I can't name names.

Come on.

Look, for instance, once I made the
scent for this opera diva.

One night she was singing Tosca.

The more she sang, the warmer she got,
the more the fragrance wafted throughout

the opera house.

Really, by the end of the third act,
everyone could smell it.

Anyway, she called me up afterwards and
she said, never again would you wear

anyone else's perfume except mine.

Wow. Yeah.

So what about you?

You're not married?

No.

I was close once.

For... Five years ago?

Yeah.

Relationships can be painful.

I know.

How long ago was it?

Too recent.

You know, it's funny.

Sometimes the worst things in life can
turn out to be the best.

Well, in the long run.

Anyway...

Look, here's the thing about me.

I come here because of the hot dogs.

You want one?

Sure.

Two dogs, two lemonades. All right.

What would you like on them?

The works for me.

That's fine, too.

Same.

That'd be $5, sir.

Thanks. Thank you.

Do you notice the farther we go out, the
less human the air becomes?

Oh, boy.

Smell that?

Yosem?

It's more than that.

It's a gift.

Carried by a soft breeze for thousands
of miles.

It's a gift.

Like you.

No, no, no, no.

Don't do this to me.

Nice place.

Yeah, well, it's home.

Do you mind if I use the bathroom?

No, not at all. It's right around to the
right.

what the hell's going on in there it's
not what you think no no no no no get

out i will look he's going to the
bathroom and then he'll be gone okay

An important call.

What the hell are you doing going
through my coat pockets?

I was hanging it up and it fell out.

So what are you scared of?

What am I scared of? Have you read the
papers?

Robberies, women being stabbed.

I know, I know.

One of them was a client of mine.

You think...

Okay.

I understand.

The media frightens everyone.

It's a letter opener.

It was a gift from a client.

It fits into the box like this.

Sorry, I guess I overreacted.

This is... This isn't right.

I mean, it's too soon.

Okay.

Sorry. Sure.

Okay, I'll call you tomorrow.

Okay.

Thanks again.

Ricky, you get any prints, any partials,
anything?

Nothing.

You must have wet them clean.

I can't believe it.

I don't know what to say. So tell me,
come on.

How was he?

He left right after you called.

Yeah, sure he did.

You two are kind of chummy.

You know what?

Maybe I should get Rick to dust you for
prints. What do you think? I don't think

it's him.

Then who do you think it is?

Well, I looked into this delivery boy
named Kevin from the Beverly Department

Store. How could you pull this shit on
me? Oh, come on. We got an investigation

going on here. I'm supposed to be your
partner. You're supposed to let me know

those things. Yeah, well, I followed
through. You followed through?

Yes, I followed through. He was a kid.
He was 20 years old. Oh, he was a kid.

was 20 years old. I could show you
plenty of kids in a joint.

Those things will make your skin crawl.
Yes, I know.

Oh, you know? I'll tell you what you
know. We got two extra bodies on our

young lady.

Great, so let's bring them in for
questioning. No, no, no, no, no, no. Let

bring them in for questioning. I'll
bring them in for questioning.

Do you think maybe you could keep an eye
on pretty boy Martin there?

Fine. Fine. Fine.

You know, this is one of my favorite
places.

I feel a strange kind of affinity with
these animals.

There's such an incredible sense of
smell. It's as if we read the newspaper,

they read the wind.

Something called pheromones.

You know, you hear that sense of smell,
it's virtually useless.

Why is that?

Because the zoos take the animals out of
their natural habitats.

They repress their natural instincts,
their hunting breed.

Can you imagine a life confined, always
repressing who you really are?

Excuse me?

Do you work here? Yes. Oh, thank God.
Could you point me towards Personnel,

please? Left at Lingerie. Thank you.

Um, maybe you could help me. I'm looking
for a delivery boy, Kevin.

Do you know if he's around?

Oh, he went back home. He went back to
Michigan.

Ah, here we go.

It's a medical report in case of an
emergency.

There's an address for his mother in
Michigan.

Hmm.

Does your office keep any other records,
perhaps with fingerprints on file for

security reasons?

Well, no.

Kevin wasn't in a bonded position.

Is he in some kind of trouble?

I wish you could answer that. Could you
do me a favor and make a copy of this

for me, please?

I'll have my secretary get it for you.
Thank you.

I've always had a great sense of smell.

I went to Paris or something for several
years.

It involves a lot of trouble.

Yeah.

Yeah. Some of my supplies are really
exotic, like Bulgarian rose petals,

Egyptian jasmine, this beautiful,
delicate white flower called Lang Lang

Madagascar. I had no idea it was so
involved.

It is. I like to think, well, it's
almost like composing.

I take the different elements, the
different fragrances, and I create a

song of offensive.

I like that.

So what are your parents like?

My father, he was a good man. I think I
get a lot of my compassion from him.

And your mom?

My mother on the other hand was a
merciless bitch.

I'm sorry.

Don't be.

It's like that poem, places in the
heart.

Through our suffering we achieve a new
sense of love.

Compassion.

That's beautiful.

So are you.

So you weren't expecting Kevin home?

No, no, no, ma 'am. We don't know if
he's in trouble or not.

Yeah. But it is important that if you do
hear from him, you contact us

immediately.

Yes. No, no, no. It's Detective Nick
Palermo, like in Palermo, Italy.

All right.

Bye -bye. Thank you.

Here's the latest forensics report.

Yeah, what do you got?

The blotter stick didn't have the same
perfume on it as the body.

It didn't?

They haven't identified what brand yet.

And the handkerchief was made of silk
manufactured in Hong Kong.

What about the prints?

They don't match each other either.

It could be from two different people.

Hey, did you get those records that I
requested from the county clerk on this

loose character?

Ah, Detective Riley, your father would
be proud.

Nick. Ah, you're late. Where you been?

Sorry, I had a late lunch.

Yeah? Well, who?

Me and my chat room.

Did somebody look after you?

What'd the kid say?

Say? A little coop.

What? Yeah.

Maybe he's going back to Michigan, maybe
not.

But I'm checking to see if any customers
had anything else sent from the

bedroom. Yeah, well, I called their
credit office. Kathleen Rogers had a car

there, too.

Yeah? So that builds a case to get the
kid.

Maybe.

But, uh...

Don't scratch your Gordon Lewis off the
top of this.

What do you mean? I did some checking on
my own. Seems that he had a little run

-in with your boss recently.

How?

Sueing her for breach of contract.

Doesn't prove anything.

Come on, he's got motivation.

You know, he's messing with you.

I'll talk to Grace about it.

See you later.

Being taken care of? I told you about
Gordon. What's your point?

You should have told me about the
lawsuit, and you didn't.

So did you do it?

Do what?

Take the credit for someone else's work.

I've been in this business for a long
time.

It's always been competitive. It always
will be.

I fought my way from the bottom. This is
not a popularity contest. This is a

business. Yeah, well, it says you had a
verbal partnership agreement.

He worked for me. He was not my partner.
What are you trying to say?

Come on, Grace.

Wouldn't it be convenient if Gordon
wasn't around to sue you?

I don't believe I'm having this
conversation.

You are an employee, just like he was.
Exactly who are you investigating? Maybe

you should get your priorities straight.

Maybe you're right

I

knew it

What would you like to drink?

Whatever you're having is fine

Uh, no, I don't... Just trust me.

You're gonna love this.

What do you want from me?

Everything.

Your heart, your soul.

Whatever's behind those beautiful eyes
of yours.

I want it all.

Do you mind if I shower?

No, go ahead.

I'd love to join you. I have to go to
work early today.

I thought you worked here.

I have to go to the office.

supervise the mixing of my commercial
line.

It's not much fun, but I only have to
deal with it twice a week.

Anyway, I thought the brokers had to get
up early.

Yeah, I just, uh, I work on special
accounts.

And Lauren, I want you to know
something.

Trust is very important to me.

Yeah, well that's not always so easy.

Lock the door on the way out.

Deborah's not in today.

Excuse me.

Can I help you?

Yeah, I'm Detective Nick Palermo, and
I'm here from the LAPD.

I have an appointment with Grace
Lantel's office.

Okay.

Ms. Lantel informed me that you may look
through the publicity files and the

employment records, but they're not to
leave the building.

Hey, I'm a cop, not a thief.

Just kidding.

Give me this stuff, and I'll browse
through it.

Hey, tell me, how long have you been
working here?

Over five years.

Did you know Gordon Lewis?

Mr. Lewis? Sure.

I know him.

What kind of a relationship did he have
with your boss?

Well, let's say at one time they were
very close.

Very, very close?

You'll have to ask Ms. Lantell about
that.

Let me know when you're done so I can
lock up.

Thank you.

Yes, Nick Palermo, please.

Mm -hmm.

Did he say when he'd be back?

No, that's all right. Just tell him
that, uh, Lauren Allen called. I'll call

later. Thanks. Bye.

Nick, what are you doing here?

I just came by to see if you were home.

I was leaving, I thought I heard
something, and I came back.

I thought... Come on, Nick.

Let me check my underwear.

Funny.

I wasn't scared.

Here you go.

Hey,

what's this? You're going on vacation.

It's a confirmation letter from Gordon's
travel agency.

Night of the third murder, he was out of
town.

I could meet a lot of things. He could
have canceled. I checked with the

and he bought them.

Well, maybe he didn't use them.

He's not the guy.

He's not the guy, Nick.

You don't know nothing about him.

Nick, our prime suspect is gone. He's in
Michigan or something.

Look, I'm just looking out for you,
that's all.

Well, this will prove it one way or
another.

It's his. Put it through forensic.

Hey,

about time.

Hey, uh, listen.

Something you should know. Your, uh,
your friend Gordon and your boss Grace,

they had a little something going.

What are you talking about?

What am I talking about?

Come on. They, uh, they were lovers.

So watch yourself.

Good night.

Go work.

Gordon.

Hi, it's Lauren.

Fine. Look, can I come over?

That's it.

Do you want this mailed out in the
morning?

Yep.

You put that in the box, and I'll get
the address.

And you stay there.

That's pretty boring stuff.

Have a nice day off.

So how'd you get into a lawsuit with
Grace Lantell?

Why? I've read about her in all the
fashion magazines.

She's pretty famous.

I can't say she's one of my favorite
people.

Why not?

Why so many questions?

I'm just curious.

Look, it was dismissed.

Sometimes the law doesn't work the way
it should.

So I went to a different plan.

Which is?

I'm appealing it.

See, you don't understand.

Grace is completely ruthless.

You remember the relationship I spoke
about down by the ocean?

She was your lover?

That's what I thought.

But she used me to get what she wanted.

That's one of the reasons I'm suing her.

Sometimes people aren't always what they
seem.

Relax.

Look, tomorrow I'll take you shopping.

I'll buy you something nice.

It's a customer registry for people like
me.

Actually, we find it especially helpful
to the men buying for their wives or

their girlfriends.

I'm going to have a look around.

Okay.

Just fill out your sizes, your color
choices, and your product preference.

Okay.

Hey, tell me, why'd you kill the women?

I didn't kill anybody.

Oh, come on, come on.

Do you like blindfolds? Huh?

Is that yours?

What'd you kill them? I didn't kill
anybody, all right? I didn't kill

We're talking about a part -time job.

That's it, man.

Okay, all right, I understand.

Just tell me why you went to Mexico.

To have fun. To have fun. That's it. A
vacation, man.

Fun. A vacation. I love it. Hey, did you
have fun with Nicole?

Did you have fun with Cynthia? Is that
your idea of fun? Why are you screaming

in my ear? I don't know any Nicole. I
don't know any Cynthia.

No, you don't.

No, detective.

Yeah? We got the fingerprint results
back.

There's a match. There's a match.

All set?

What's wrong?

I have to go.

Okay, I'll drive you home. No, I need to
go now.

Lauren! Don't touch me!

Who is it?

Who is it?

Gordon.

Just want to talk.

Can I come in?

You shouldn't be here.

If I said something wrong, I'm sorry.

I love you, Lauren.

Can I come in?

Maybe this will make you feel better.

I know now.

I created it for you.

Gordon, what's that? Am I next?

Lauren. Just like all the other women,
huh?

What would you like me to do now?

Strip down so you can go through your
kinky little ritual?

What are you talking about?

Did you do it, Gordon?

Do what?

All the women in the registry, huh? Was
I going to be next?

You're crazy.

I love you.

The lawsuit?

Destroy the perfume, destroy grace?

Come on, relax.

This is badge number 5492.

I'm requesting backup.

Do you recall?

What's going on?

That's right.

You didn't explain.

I've never hurt you. What are you going
to do now? Prince!

Sick son of a bitch. Back off.

Back off.

You ready?

I'll blow you away.

Prince.

They match.

They belong to Gordon.

All right, all right, I'll bite the
Gordon. Let's get out of here.

All right, I'm going to go on station
and question him.

Okay. No, no, no, no. You can fill out
the paperwork in the morning.

I want you to pack a bag and come over
to my house tonight. I'm going to call

and tell you to get the guest room
ready.

No, really, I think I'd rather stay
here.

All right, if you need anything, pick up
the phone and give me a holler.

You're the best.

All right?

I can't believe it.

Detective, you heard his lawyer.

His prints were on the door because he
delivered this perfume personally.

Yeah, so he says.

Hey, come here. Hey, save it.

Hey, they're still in enough to book him
for murder.

Come on, come on.

Hello? Lauren, this is Grace.

Can you meet me at my office? It's very
important.

Sure.

Grace?

Grace?

Right right Would

you

sign

Why did you kill Grace?

I gave my life to her.

And she left me with nothing.

I loved her.

She said she loved me.

I don't understand.

You're so beautiful.

All of this.

All of this is our fault.

How could you do such a thing?

I wouldn't.

I could love you.

You could?

But not if you hurt me.

Put it on.

Desire put it on for me.

Hold me first, please.

You promised you'd take it.

Open your fucking mouth!

Oh, please.

Please put it on for me now.

Adrian and Grace used to live together
for more than eight years.

Suddenly, Grace gives her walking
papers.

I mean, what's she supposed to do, take
her to the divorce court?

She got revenge.

Hey, did you ever talk to Gordon Lewis?

No, I tried. I don't think he wants to
see me.

Yeah, he's lost.

Hello, Lauren.

Hi.

I forgot that you sense things most of
us don't.

Sometimes.

I just can't imagine living in a cage.

Some of these animals get so used to
living in cages that when they get set

free, they suffer or they die.

Well, it's like that poem. Through our
suffering, we achieve a new sense of

love.

Still drink coffee?

I feel your eyes.

Don't move me.

I feel a hunger in my soul.

Don't kiss me. I feel my passion starts
to flow.

Go on. Ask me. What do I want from you?

Your heart is glorious.

Your God is everything to me.

It's holy, very holy.

I need it all.

Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid.

We're all in this together.

Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid.
