[suspenseful string music]

- Yeah, I'm leaving first
thing tomorrow morning.

Yeah, I can't wait
to see you too.

It's been too long.

Yes, I will tell you all
about it over dinner.

Yeah, I think so too.

[bus hissing]
[cars honking]

I will.

Goodnight, Newt.

[phone beeps]

[elevator rumbling]

[elevator dings]

[knocking]

Who's there?

- Monica, it's me, open up.

- Greg, I don't think that
that is a very good idea.

You know, I thought
I was very clear

this afternoon that--
- I came to apologize.

Please, just open the
door for one minute.

I have something very
important to say.

Thank you.

[door bangs shut]

You goin' somewhere?

- Yeah, just outta
town for a few days.

I needed a break.

- I think I know what
you really need, Monica.

A commitment.

- Greg.

- I know that I've acted
like a fool this week,

but I wanna put that behind us.

Life is too short.

Monica Roberts,

will you marry me?

- Greg, I don't
know what to say.

Greg, I don't know.

- It's one simple word,
three little letters.

[jazzy piano music]

[guests chattering indistinctly]

- And I would've been like,
our parents were crazy!

[laughing]

Ahh, good choice.

- I'm known for those.

- Oh really?

- Yeah, just look at the
woman I'm about to marry.

[soft string music]

[sirens wailing]

- If you keep up
all this sweet talk,

I'm not gonna have
anymore room for dessert.

- Fine, no more talking.

But as for dessert...

- [Hillary] Hmm.

[laughing]

[dramatic music]

- [May] What do we have?

- Two victims of an apparent
carbon monoxide gas leak.

A neighbor called it in.

They were already
unconscious when we arrived.

- Let's get them to
ICU, let's go, let's go!

- Thank you.

- Race you home?

- I thought your
goal was to keep me

out of the hospital tonight.

- That's true, that's true.

[phone ringing]

Uh-oh, let me guess.

- Dr. Penzer speaking.

I'll be right there.

- [sighs] See you
back at the house?

- I love you.

- I know.

Get outta here.
[Hillary laughs]

[machines beeping]

- Are you an angel?

- I think that you're
disoriented from the gas.

But I'll take the compliment.

[coughing]

Here, take some water.

Just sip it.

Your lungs suffered
some scarring.

You're at Montgomery
Grove Hospital.

There was a gas leak
in your building

but luckily the carbon
monoxide detector went off

and you and Ms. Roberts
were rushed to the hospital.

- Monica, is she all right?

- I'm so sorry.

She never regained
consciousness.

You really are quite
lucky, Mr. Lipton,

but I'm truly sorry
for your loss.

- Monica's gone?

- The gas deprived her
body of oxygen for too long

and she suffocated in her sleep.

The paramedics found
you two in bed.

- They shoulda let me die too.

- I'm afraid we can't
let that happen.

You know, Hippocratic
Oath and all.

- You saved me.

- Well, guilty as charged, yes.

- Who are you?

- I'm Dr. Penzer.

Was Monica Roberts
your girlfriend?

- She was my fiancee.

We'd just gotten engaged.

I came over last
night to propose.

She said yes.
- Oh no, I'm so sorry.

- Monica's parents,
do they know?

- [Hillary] They've
been informed, yes.

- I shouldn't be here.

It should've been me.

- Don't say that, Mr. Lipton.

You just need to
rest and recover.

But I'm here for you.

You're not alone.

And I'm sure Monica
would want you

to make a full recovery as well.

- Thank you, Doctor,
for everything.

I owe you my life.

- You owe me a full recovery,
and that's what I expect.

- You are an angel.

- And you are a fighter,
which is a patient

that any doctor is
blessed to have.

Now get some rest.

[gentle instrumental music]

[birds chirping]

Wow.

- Whoa, ho, ho, whoa,
whoa, wait a second.

No peeking, the
design isn't done yet.

- It's beautiful.
- You're beautiful.

That is a building.

- Well this building is
a beautiful work of art

created by a brilliant designer.

- Well, speaking of
beautiful works of art,

I mean, look at these
angles, these curves, huh?

- I have to go to work. [laughs]

I love you, honey!

See you later.

Hello, Mr. Lipton.
- Hi.

- How are you feeling today?

- I'm okay.

- That's good news.

[inhaling deeply]

One more.

[inhaling deeply]

Great.

- Are you this hands on
with all your patients?

- Only the ones
that really need me.

- You know, there's a
Chinese proverb that says

you save someone's life, you
stay with that person forever.

- Well, it is a good thing
I do not practice medicine

in China. [laughs]

- I don't know, I
think you'd like it.

It's quite breathtaking.

- Ah, you've been?

- [Gregory] Yeah, I worked
there for five years.

- Huh, doing what?

- IT stuff.

- Ahhh, so you are
a computer guy.

- I know it's not the
most exciting profession,

but it pays the bills.

- What do you know
about firewalls?

- Putting them up or
breaking through them?

- I have no idea.

Johnny's always complaining
that his aren't secure enough.

- Well, I'd be happy
to help if I can.

That's what friends
do for friends, right?

- Huh.

That's what I like to see.

Your chest cavity is
looking much better.

- Well, I like to run.

I work out every day.

- Well good, every
little bit helps.

If you keep this up, you will
be outta here in no time.

Get some rest.

[soft, suspenseful music]

[bell chiming]

- Hi!
- Hey.

- I got your favorite latte.

- Oh, thank you.

- So, are you ready
for the big day?

- Well, I don't really
have much to do,

just show up, say
some vows, say I do.

The maid of honor
does all the work.

Sorry.

- Okay, not a problem
as long as the ceremony

is not in the hospital.

I love what you do, I
just hate where you live.

I mean, work.

- Ha-ha.

It's not work when
you love what you do.

You know, I heal their
bodies, you heal their minds.

- I do what I can.

- Do you think you might
be able to squeeze in

one more client as a favor?

- [Lori] Why, what's the story?

- He's a patient of mine.

He's a really nice guy.

He just lost his fiancee.

He seems in complete
denial about it,

like she never existed.

- Sure, send him over.

- Thank you.

That's awesome.

Anyway, with all
the wedding stuff

I feel like I haven't
heard about you.

Still goin' strong with Derrick?

- [Lori] Hmm, maybe.

[laughing]

- You're not gonna
get away with that.

- You're just jealous.

[laughing]

[soft instrumental music]

[birds chirping]

[door banging shut]

- Mom, it's me.

- I thought doctors
stopped making house calls.

- And I thought that
you weren't sick.

- I feel fine.

- Well you look terrible.
- Oh.

- Have you seen a doctor?

- Aren't I looking
at one right now?

- [Hillary] What are you taking?

- Just tea and
tissues right now.

Relax, honey, I'm sure
it's just a 24-hour thing.

- Right, and how long have
you had this, 72 hours?

- [Barbara] How's
the wedding coming?

- We're going with
the cake, the harp,

and all the bridesmaids
are wearing green.

Don't change the subject.

I'm making you a
doctor's appointment.

- Please don't.

I'll be all better
for your wedding.

- Mom, that's a month away.

- See, honey, got
plenty of time.

- You're impossible.
- It's a mother's privilege.

- Come here.

- Ooh, careful, honey.

I don't want you to get my bug.

You know, they say doctors
make the worst patients.

- Well, they're right.

I'm gonna get you more tea.

- Oh, thanks, sweetie.

- [Hillary] I got you honey
from the farmer's market.

I think you're
really gonna like it.

[machines beeping]

Good news, Mr. Lipton,
you're getting discharged.

- Discharged?

But I'm not ready.

- Well, all of your
scans and tests

have come back, Mr. Lipton.

You're healthy.

Since you're doing
so much better now,

I wanna get you outta this room.

- But, who, who's gonna
look after me when I leave?

I lost everything.

- I think I know
someone who can help.

- A therapist.

- [Hillary] She's a
grief counselor as well.

- I don't need her help.

I have you.

- Mr. Lipton, I really think
that you should consider this.

She is an old friend.

I think that you
should give it a try.

- She's an old friend, huh?
- Mm-hm.

- A good one?

- A very good friend.

And it would make me happy
if you spoke with her.

- Okay, I can do that.

I always like to follow
my doctor's advice.

- That makes you
a very smart man.

- Dr. Penzer?

I'll never forget what
you've done for me.

I mean that.

- Take care of
yourself, Mr. Lipton.

[suspenseful music]

[computer beeping]

[keys clacking]

- Mr. Lipton?

What do you think you're doing?

- Going back to bed.

- Yes.

- Hey, honey.

So I guess your mom knows
not to bother you at work

because she called me today.

She wants to know if
we're doing a cake tower

or just a traditional
wedding cake.

- I have made too
many decisions today.

Cake is the last
thing on my mind.

- Okay, well you
may wanna call her.

She's been dying to finalize

a few of the remaining
details for the wedding.

- I'll check in on her tomorrow.

How was your day?

- Not bad, not bad.

I walked 20 feet to my office,

I had lunch in the kitchen.

- You're very lucky that you
get to work from home. [laughs]

- [John] Can't argue with that.

- I may have peeked
at your designs today.

They're gonna love 'em.

- Well, loving it and
spending the millions it takes

to build it are two
different things.

- Oh, they're gonna
spend the money,

and then you and I can afford
our three-week honeymoon.

- Ooh, you really
think you could handle

leaving work for that long?

- I mean, yes, I love my job,

but a girl only gets
married once, right?

If she's lucky.

- Somethin' tells
me your patients

would lose their
minds, especially Mr.
Monoxide Poisoning.

- Mm-mm, that's not fair.

What he went through
was horrible.

I mean, could you imagine
losing the woman that you love

on the night that
she said she'd spend

the rest of her life with you?

- Yeah, yeah I don't
wanna imagine that.

- Yeah, exactly.

- Just remember, your name
isn't Florence Nightingale.

- [laughs] Well don't
worry, Mr. Jealous,

Mr. Lipton is getting
discharged tomorrow.

- Oh.

On a scale of one to 10, how
tired would you say you are?

- Who's tired?
- Ooh.

[laughing]

[squealing]

[machines beeping]

[suspenseful music]

- [Lori] Thank you for
coming to see me, Mr. Lipton.

Dr. Penzer told me a
little about what happened.

How are you feeling?

- I was given a
clean bill of health.

Hillary says I was very lucky.

- Dr. Penzer?

I didn't realize you were
on a first name basis.

- She's an amazing woman.

I hear you guys are
really good friends.

How long have you known her?

- Since college.

But we're here to talk
about you, Mr. Lipton.

I know you had a terrible loss.

Your fiancee--

- Yes, what happened
was a terrible tragedy,

but I really don't
wanna talk about it.

- Well, that's understandable.

I mean, given what you
went through, most people--

- Tell me all about Hillary.

What are some of the
things that she likes?

- Mr. Lipton, I know it's hard,

but you're gonna have to
deal with Monica's passing.

- I have.

I moved on.

The woman's dead.

Look, I thought she was the one.

She wasn't.

That's all there is to it.

- Are you angry
with her for dying?

- Let's just say that
she disappointed me

and leave it at that.

Now can you help me?

- That's what I'm here for.

But what do you want
me to help you with?

- Tell me all about Hillary.

I need to know about her.

What are some of
her favorite foods,

her favorite types of music--

- Dr. Penzer's engaged.

She's gonna be
getting married soon.

- She's getting married?

To, to another man?

And you're letting this happen?

[tense string music]

- [Lori] You're
gonna have to let go

of this unhealthy obsession
you have with Dr. Penzer.

Nothing will come of it.

- I think our time is done.

[ominous music]

- Hey Hillary, it's Lori.

Long day, I'm just
leaving work now.

Give me a call when
you get a chance.

I had a meeting
with Gregory Lipton.

I can't go into detail,
but I think we need

to talk about something.

I'll call you back.

Hello?

[tires squealing]

Stop!

[whacking]

- Emergency!

She needs immediate medical
attention from Dr. Penzer.

Dr. Penzer!
- Oh my God, Lori!

What happened?

- Broken leg, possibly
some fractured ribs,

head trauma.

- Hit and run in
her own parking lot.

I saw the whole
thing, I called it in.

- Okay, take her to
Emergency Room D.

- Whoa, hey, hey, hey.

Hillary, you'll save
her, I know you will.

- I need you--
- Of course.

- To file a report.

- I'm here for you always.

- [Woman] Mr. Lipton,
there's an officer waiting

to take your statement.

- Did you see what
type of car it was?

Did you get a license plate?

- No, no, no, it all
happened so fast.

I didn't see the
plate, but it was blue.

I think a Jeep Compass.

- And you didn't
see who was driving?

- No, I sorry, Detective.

I was walking to my
car when I glanced up.

- Jeep Compass.
- Yeah.

Hey.
- Hi.

- So how is she?

- Well, it's not as
bad as we thought.

She has a broken leg
and a concussion,

so I guess the car
wasn't going that fast.

- Well, Mr. Lipton says it
occurred in a parking lot

right outside her building.

- Yeah, I heard the
tires screeching

and that's when I noticed.

- So you did go and see her.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I followed your orders.

I think I was her
last appointment.

- Why would someone do
something like this?

- They probably stole
the car from the lot

and they were
makin' their getaway

and she got in their way.

You know, wrong
place, wrong time.

- [Det. Meadows] What type of
car do you drive, Mr. Lipton?

- [Gregory] A gray Altima.

- Right, right.

I saw it parked outside

Monica Roberts' apartment
building last week.

[suspenseful music]

Well, I'll need to ask
Dr. Hanson some questions

when she's up for it.

- Can it wait till tomorrow?

She needs her rest.

- Of course.
- Great.

- Thank you, Mr. Lipton,
you've been very helpful.

- Thank you.

- Dr. Penzer.
- Yes, thank you.

Thank you, Detective
Meadows, thank you very much.

Mr. Lipton.
- Hey.

I'm so sorry about your friend,

but I knew you'd save her.

We make a pretty good team, huh?

- Excuse me?

- I, I helped get her here

and then I called it
in when it happened

so that you could
work your magic.

It's a good thing
that I was there.

- Oh, yes, Mr. Lipton.

It's just been a
really rough night

and in between Lori
and my mom's illness--

- Is she okay?
- Huh?

- Your mother, it's
nothing serious?

- No, no, she'll be fine.

I just have a lot on
my plate right now.

- Right, with the
wedding and everything.

- Who told you about that?

- Dr. Hanson, of course.

Congratulations.

- Thank you.

Uh, okay, Mr.
Lipton, I have to--

- Please, call me Gregory,

after all we've been through.

- Uh-huh.

Okay.

[garage door humming]

Ugh, now what?

- Yes, Mr. Richards,
everything will be ready

for the presentation.

- Great!

Now the garage door's broken?

John?

John!

- Yes, the cocktail party
was a wonderful idea.

I'll let you know as
soon as I ask her.

- I was calling you!
- Great.

Thank you sir, talk to you soon.

[Hillary sighs]

- Hey, hey, what's wrong?

- Lori got hit by a car today.

- My God, is she okay?

- Yeah, yeah.

It's just, she's gonna
have to figure out

how to walk down the
aisle in crutches.

- [laughs] Well, glad you
could find the joke in it.

- I have to or I'd go crazy.

It was Lori's joke,
though, by the way.

- [John] Oh.

Well, even a car can't
keep that woman down.

- I know, that's why I love her.

What was that phone call about?

- Oh, I mean, I hate to
even bring it up now,

but Mr. Richards wants to
have the unveiling here,

and a cocktail reception.

He seems to think that you
will impress the clients.

- Wait.

Does that mean that he
accepted your designs?

Oh my God, finally
some good news!

- We'll see.

I think they just
wanna test it out

in the most friendly
environment they can.

- Our home?

- Yeah, trust me,
it wasn't my choice,

but how do I say no to the boss?

I mean, look, they're
gonna pay for it,

they're gonna set it up,
we just have to host it.

I mean, personally it
just makes me nervous.

It's like putting the
cart before the horse.

Should we even do it?

- No, are you kidding?

You,

you're gonna be great.

Everything's gonna be great.

- So that a yes?

- That is a yes.

But you have to get
the garage door fixed.

It's on the fritz again.

- Okay, that will
be my second call

after I let Mr. Richards
know we are good to go.

- Mr. Lipton was there toy.

- Where?

- When Lori got hit by the car,

he was the one that brought
her to the hospital.

- Lipton, Mr. Lipton, that's
Mr. Monoxide Poisoning?

- Mm-hm.

I sent him to see Lori today.

- Oh, it's good that
he was there then.

- Yeah.

Hey, have you ever
heard the phrase

if you save a life, you stay
with that person forever?

- Hmm, yeah, I think in
an old episode of Kung Fu.

But is that really a thing?

- I don't know, probably.

- You know what, why don't
we stay in and eat tonight?

Neither of us are
up to going out.

- I agree.

Any suggestions?

- Yeah, I have a few.

[ominous music]

[classical piano music]

- [Hillary] Mom, it's
me, where are you?

- In the kitchen.

- Okay, I come
bearing cough drops,

nasal spray, a heating pad,
and the best thermometers

money can buy.

If you won't go to the hospital,

the hospital will come to you.

- All I need is
your love, my dear.

- Well, you have that, always.

Now be honest, do you
feel better or worse?

- No comment.
- Mom, that's not an answer.

- Oh, by the way, tell John
that I appreciate the gesture,

but he should be
spending his money

on the floral arrangements for
your wedding and not on me.

- John sent these?

- Yes, unless you're engaged
to more than one man.

- Well, I'm just surprised.

He didn't tell me.

- Here's a warning, my love.

Husband's don't always tell
wives what they're doing.

- Well, it was
awfully nice of him.

Now I need you to
take all this stuff

and see if you have a fever.

I have to go get Lori
settled in her house.

- What happened to Lori?

- It's a long story
and I will tell you

all about it later, but
it's nothing to worry about.

- Then I won't.

You're the doctor.
- I am.

Now get better.

[Barbara coughing]

[door bangs shut]

[classical piano music]

[engine igniting]

Call John.

- [Automated Voice]
Calling John.

[phone ringing]

[ominous music]

- [John] Mr. Perfect speaking.

- [laughs] More
like Mr. Thoughtful.

My mom says thanks
for the flowers.

- [John] Oh, uh, what?

I think you mean Mr. Forgetful.

What flowers?

- The get well soon bouquet.

- [John] Oh, [blows
through lips] okay.

I mean, I'll happily take credit

but I didn't send
Barbara any flowers.

I mean, look, I will if you--

- What, you didn't send them?

Are you sure?
- Pretty sure.

Look, I know Barbara
wants us saving our money

for the wedding,
so, hey sweetheart,

the office is calling.

- It's okay.

Fine, I'll talk to you later.

Bye.

[suspenseful string music]

- Thank you, Dr. Hanson.

We'll be in touch if we
have anymore information.

Take care.

- Well that was quick.

- As was her discharge.

- Any leads on who hit her?

- Just a car at this point.

Dr. Hanson can fill you in.

- Okay, thanks.

Wait a minute, let me help you.

Okay.
- Okay.

Ow!

- You got it?
- Yeah.

- Okay, give me this crutch.

- Oh, thank you so much

for getting me back
home in my own bed.

- Well, I know that
you hate hospitals.

Although, I woun't
have minded,

be careful, monitoring you,

ooh, you got it?

For a few more days.

And I am setting
up an MRI for you

sooner than later, okay?

- You're the doctor,
I'm just the victim.

The police just left.

- [Hillary] I know, I
saw her on her way out.

- They found the
car that hit me.

- But not the driver?
- Not yet, no.

Detective Meadows said
that the car was stolen

and discovered abandoned
two blocks from my office.

I was at the wrong
place at the wrong time.

They must have freaked
out after they hit me

and ditched the car.

- And that's what the
police are saying?

- Sounds like it to me.

Except Detective Meadows
said it was weird

that they didn't
find fingerprints.

- So the thieves
were wearing gloves?

- I guess.

Meadows said it was strange

because they're
not usually worried

about leaving fingerprints.

They don't expect the
car to ever be found.

- And you didn't see
the driver at all?

- It all happened so fast.

I barely even remember the car.

Everything's such a blur.

- I got your message.

I listened to it when
I got home last night.

- I don't even remember
leaving you a message.

When was this?

- I think it was right
before you got hit.

You had just had your
session with Mr. Lipton

and you said that
there was something

that you wanted to tell me.

- Everything about
yesterday is a haze.

I don't even remember
what we discussed.

- [Hillary] It's
the head trauma.

You'll get your memory
back in a couple days.

- Yeah, but Hillary, I
don't have to tell you

that everything between a
therapist and her patient

is confidential.

I couldn't talk
to you about that

even if I wanted to.

- I know, but you called me.

I have the message if you
wanna listen to it, it--

[phone ringing]

Wait, hold on one sec.

Dr. Penzer speaking.

- Hello, Hillary.
- Mr. Lipton?

- Oh, with all the
confusion of yesterday

I forgot to thank him.

Can you thank him for me?

- Mr. Lipton, how are you?

- [Gregory] It's
Gregory, and I'm fine,

but how's Dr. Hanson?

I heard she was discharged.

- How did you know that
she was discharged?

The nurses at the hospital--

- Look, don't worry,
nobody told me.

I looked it up online.

You know, you can find anyone
if you know where to look.

- Well, Dr. Hanson
is recovering,

and she also wanted to
thank you for finding her.

- Well, I'd love to stop by.

She can thank me in person.

- Mr. Lipton, doctor-patient
house calls are unhealthy,

and in this case, unethical.

- Except you're her doctor.

- I'm her friend who just
happens to be a doctor.

- And we're friends.

Hey, by the way, did your
mom like the flowers?

- Excuse me?

- You know, the flowers,
the get well soon card,

the balloons.

- That was you?

- Yes.

- How did you know her address?

How did you even know
that she was sick?

- Again, online.

Plus you told me she was sick

when we were talking to
the detective, remember?

- Okay, well, why did
you write on the card

from your future son-in-law?

- [laughs] Why not?

- Mr. Lipton.

Gregory, sometimes things for
patients can get confusing,

especially after a tragedy,

and they can form a
bond with their doctors.

- You feel it too?

- But there's a line,
a professional line

that cannot be crossed.

And if it is crossed,
well, then that behav--

- Of course, but I'm not your
patient anymore, Hillary.

- As I was saying,
if it is crossed,

well, then that patient's
behavior becomes inappropriate.

- I was discharged, so
now that we're friends--

- Yeah, but you do understand

that I'm going to
be getting married.

- Yes, so?

- So this is the
inappropriate behavior

that I'm talking about,

like you sending
flowers to my mother.

- [Gregory] I thought it
would be a nice gesture.

- [Hillary] But she
doesn't know you.

- Well, I'd love to know her.

- Mr. Lipton--

- I know, too soon.

Okay, you know what,
why don't I let you

get back to your patient.

I don't wanna monopolize
your entire day.

You take care, Hillary.

And you give Dr. Hanson my best.

Oh, and Hillary, you look
amazing in that pink dress.

Or is that mauve?

[eerie music]

She'll see.

All she needs is a little
help, a little push.

There's too many voices,
too many distractions.

But don't worry,
Hillary, I'll fix it.

You saved me,

I'll save you.

[phone ringing]

- Hey.

- [Hillary] Hey honey, are you
home or at the main office?

- Oh, the meeting to
pushed back a couple hours

so I'm home right now
but I'm takin' off soon.

So how's Lori doing?

- [Hillary] She's resting.

She still doesn't remember
much about the accident

but more of her
memories will come back

in the next few days.

- Oh, that's good news.

[keys clacking]

[classical piano music]

[beeping]

- [Hillary] Well here's
a bit of crazy news.

I found out who
sent those flowers.

- Ooh, yeah, secret
admirer, huh?

- [Hillary] Not
a secret anymore.

[computer beeping]

- No, no, no, no,
no, no, not now.

- [Hillary] What's happening?

- I think my
computer's crashing.

I have to call
someone right now.

- [Hillary] Your firewall thing?

- I don't know, it's
something, it's something.

I can't lose this data.

I have to call someone.

[Gregory laughing]

Okay, I love you too, bye.

Kingman Electronic, hey.

Listen, my home
computer is crashing.

I need an IT maintenance
guy here right now.

- [laughing] Of course,
Kingman's the best.

Well, was the best.

I should know.

- No, no, I don't want
a voice this time,

I want a real person.

Yes, listen, I'll give
you my address, okay?

My name is John, John Barclay.

Right.

[classical piano music]

[sighs]

[doorbell ringing]

Computer problems?

- Wow, that was fast.
- Yeah, you got lucky.

I was in the car when
the call came in,

heard it was an emergency,
came right over.

- Great, come on in.

- Wow, this is some
place you got here.

- [laughs] Thanks.

My office is right over here.

So do you think you can fix it?

I have an important
presentation coming up.

I really need those files.

- Looks like somebody tried
to hack into your system

and your firewalls aren't very
well protected, Mr. Barclay.

- Yeah, I was talking
about that with my fiancee.

- You don't say.

Hm, well, I'm gonna
have to shut it down,

reboot the hard drive,
but don't worry,

I'll save all your work.

It should take me
10, 15 minutes tops.

- That's amazing.

Can I get you a
coffee or a water?

- [Gregory] Coffee
would be great.

[doorbell ringing]

- What now?

I'll be right back.
- Take your time.

[suspenseful music]

I'm right where I need to be.

- Yes?
- Mr. Penzer?

Oh, Mrs. Penzer called us
to fix your garage door,

said it's been malfunctioning.

- Okay, I'm taking off soon.

Will it take long?

- Probably not long,
but we don't need access

to the house, just the garage.

- Okay, I'll come
open it up for you.

[computer beeping]

[door banging shut]

- Good to go.

- You got it up and running?

- Updated the firewall,
scanned for viruses,

and fixed the corrupt files.

Shouldn't have anymore problems.

- Oh my God, you're a lifesaver.

- Yeah, that's the first time
anybody's ever called me that.

[John laughs]

That's a lovely lady.

- [John] Yes, my fiancee.

- Ah, you're a lucky man.

- I tell myself that every day.

I'll show you out.
- Yeah.

- First Mr. Russo was too hot.

Mm-hm, and then he's too cold,

and then he has too many pillows

and then not enough pillows.

I swear hospitals would
be much nicer places

if they'd just get rid
of all the patients.

- I am doing the best I can.

- Well, thank you.

[laughing]

Now at least you
got rid of Lipton.

Man, I'd take a Russo over that
weirdo any day of the week.

- Did he do something?

Did he say something?

- Oh, not in so many words.

I don't know, there was
just somethin' about him.

He made me nervous.

You know what, it was his eyes.

The way he looked at
me when I caught him

in the hallway the other night,

and then when I gave him
his discharge papers.

I mean, he reacted like
I was the one responsible

for kickin' him
outta the hospital,

like I did somethin'
wrong or somethin'.

You think he'd be happy to
be outta the hospital, right?

Anyway, like I said,
I'm just glad he's gone.

- Yeah.

You and me both.
[laughing]

- Oh yeah, we're having some
work done on the garage door.

It's been acting up lately.

So, what's the damage and
who do I make it out to?

- Kingman Electronics,
and $250 should do it.

You know, it's been a pleasure

to be of service to a man
who seems to have everything.

- [John] Well, I assure you
I don't have everything.

- Well some would
say that the love

of a beautiful woman is enough.

- I can't argue with you there.

- Have a great day, Mr. Barclay.

- [John] Thanks, Mister...

- Call me Greg.

- John.

I'll see you out.

Hey guys, how's it goin'?

- It's pretty good.

[tense string and piano music]

- Hillary!

Oh, God, I'm glad I got you.

Listen, I need a huge favor.

They got me workin'
the late shift again

and I gotta get this
in the mail today.

Would you mind?

You're just, you're headin' out.

- Of course, of course.
- Thank you.

- What is it?

- Copies of the autopsy
report for Monica Roberts.

Her funeral services are
Saturday at Briercliff

and the mortuary, of
course, needs a copy.

And this, this file is
for Detective Meadows.

- Why does Detective
Meadows need a copy

of Mr. Lipton's medical report?

- I don't know, check
something out, I guess.

- [Hillary] Hm.

- What?

- Well, the concentration
of carbon monoxide

in Ms. Roberts' lungs in
this toxicology report,

it seems surprisingly low.

- But the report states
she died from asphyxia.

- Well, not according to this.

See?

The damage to Mr. Lipton's
lungs was much more severe.

He almost died of gas intake.

- That is weird.

I just, I don't have
an answer, though.

I didn't write up the report.

- Huh.

I'm gonna check this out.

I'll drop it in the
mail once I'm done.

- Thank you.

I appreciate it, thank you.
- Thank you.

- You're a lifesaver.

[elevator dinging]

- Thanks for making
dinner, honey.

- Thanks for making
dinner, honey.

Today was rough.

But now I couldn't
eat another bite.

- Your patient sent the flowers?

How did he even know
Barbara was sick?

- I might have
mentioned it to him.

I let it slip when I was talking
to the police about Lori.

I just, he went through
this terrible accident

and I felt sorry for him.

But now I'm starting
to have my doubts,

reading the hospital
reports on him.

- Do you think you
encouraged him in any way?

- No.

Do you think I did?

[clattering]
[alarm wailing]

What was that?

- Stay in the house.

[dramatic music]

- John, what's going on?

Is someone out there?

- Go inside and call 911.

We may have an intruder.

- Then come back inside!
- Give me minute.

[phone beeping]

[John sighs]

[suspenseful music]

[banging]
[John gasps]

- It's just me.

- Jesus!

Are you okay?

- Yeah, is there
anyone out here?

- [John] No, the neighbor's
dog got in the garbage.

- How?

- I don't know.

I guess the repairmen
didn't do such a good job.

- Come inside.

- Ooh boy.

I guess we've both
been on edge lately.

- I think that we should get
upstairs and get some sleep.

You have your big
presentation tomorrow.

- Yeah, you're right.

I'll clear the table.

- John.

The rose.

- What the--

- Someone was in our house!

- [Det. Meadows] So
nothing else was taken?

- No, nothing was taken
as far as we know.

- So you're saying
you think Mr. Lipton

broke into your house
to drop off a rose.

- He delivered a whole bouquet
to my mom the other day.

- [Det. Meadows]
Well, unfortunately

there's nothing illegal about
sending someone flowers.

- Okay, how about
breaking and entering?

- It would help if
you actually saw him,

saw anyone besides
a neighbor's dog.

And I found no signs
of a break in either.

- The rose!

- Right, the rose.

But I highly doubt we'll
get any prints from this.

- Okay, look, I got
those autopsy reports

that you've requested, and
I found something weird

about the lack of carbon
monoxide poisoning

in Monica Roberts' system,

especially when compared to
Mr. Lipton's examination.

- Why doesn't that surprise me?

I never bought that
accidental gas leak scenario.

- Are you already
investigating this guy?

- I've been talking to Monica
Roberts' friends and family.

They had some concerns about
the happy couple as well,

so I thought I'd look
into a few things.

And with Lipton being so close
to Dr. Hanson's accident--

- And now this break in.

- Look, Dr. Penzer, both of you,

I suggest you lock
all your doors

and try to get some sleep.

As soon as we locate Mr. Lipton,

we'll bring him in
for questioning.

- Unless I find him first.

- Please, Mr. Barclay,
let us do our job.

Violence rarely solves anything.

It just gets
innocent people hurt.

[soft string music]

[eerie music]

- She's getting married?

I think our time is done.

- Hey Hillary, it's Lori.

Give me a call when
you get a chance.

I just had a meeting
with Gregory Lipton.

I can't go into detail--

[tires squealing]
[Lori screaming]

Oh my God, I have
to tell Hillary!

Where's my phone?

Oh, please tell me I
didn't leave it downstairs.

Oh!

[ominous music]

Come on.

- Evening, Dr. Hanson.

Are you looking for this?

You know, wandering around
at night on crutches

could be quite dangerous.

Even if it's your own
house, accidents can happen.

[Lori screaming]

You should keep your mouth shut.

Hillary and I are
destined to be together

and nobody's gonna stop
that from happening.

[whacking]

[Lori thudding]

We'll find a better maid
of honor for our wedding.

[police radio chattering]
[siren wailing faintly]

[coughing]

- Have you gotten anymore
flowers or packages?

- From John?
- From anyone.

- Just a card from
my friend, Karen.

- Well, where is it?

Are you sure it's from her?

- Yes, I recognized
her handwriting.

And I'm old enough to remember

when people didn't just email.

- Okay, okay.

How are you feeling?

[soft string music]

[phone ringing]

One second.

- Go ahead.

- [Det. Meadows] Hi, Hillary?

- Good morning,
Detective Meadows.

Are there any updates?
- Do you have a moment?

Whoa, hey, hey,
hey, hey, hey, hey!

It appears she fell
during the night

and broke her neck against the
side of her kitchen counter.

- The kitchen counter?
- Her cell phone

was on the floor next to her.

Maybe she was trying to
make a call and tripped.

- What was her cell
phone doing so far away?

- I don't know, but it appears
to be another accident.

- Gregory Lipton
was here yesterday.

He called my phone.

He wanted to come and see
Lori but I told him no

and then he mentioned my outfit.

He must have been watching
me from somewhere close by.

- You think he came back?

- I don't know, I
just know that...

Lori!

- Wait, wait, hey, hey.

- Lori had something to
tell me after their session.

She wanted to tell me
something about him,

but then after the accident
she couldn't remember.

- I'm sorry.

[thudding]

- Guys, please, please be
careful with the display.

Thank you.

[phone ringing]

Morning, Mr. Richards.

Your workers are already here.

They are organizing
everything for the reception.

I'm sorry, come
into the office now?

But I thought...

Yeah, okay.

I understand, I'll
be right there.

Bye.

You wanted to see me, sir.

- [Mr. Richards] How
long have you been

with this company, Mr. Barclay?

- Eight years now, sir.

- Well, explain something to me.

If you're so unhappy here,

why have you stayed so long?

- Unhappy?

I'm not unhappy, Mr. Richards.

- Then why did
this internal memo

go out to every member of
this company this morning?

[suspenseful music]

If you think that you are
overworked and underpaid,

then bring it to me.

I don't like hanging
dirty laundry in public.

It makes everyone look
bad, and it stinks.

- Mr. Richards is
an incompetent boss

who has taken advantage of
his employees for years.

I assure you, I
didn't write this.

- [Mr. Richards] It
came from your computer.

- Well, I was hacked
the other day.

I've been having trouble
with my firewall--

- We're not fools
here, Mr. Barclay.

We tracked it down.

All terminals, even personal
ones at employees' homes,

are monitored.

This came from your laptop.

- That's just not possible.

- Something like
this would be grounds

for immediate dismissal, but,
as you're quite well aware,

we have a big cocktail
presentation today at your home.

A lot is riding on this.

- Yes sir, it's
being set up now.

- And nothing will go wrong.

- It won't, Mr. Richards.

Look, I promise you, I
did not write this letter.

I am very happy here.

- Well, you don't look it.

You look tired.

- Yeah, well I didn't
sleep very well last night.

- Up typing?

- No, nothing like that.

- Yeah, well, pull
yourself together, John.

This is an important
account for this firm.

If everything goes well,

maybe we can overlook
this unfortunate incident.

- Yes, Mr. Richards.

- Okay.

- Thank you, sir.

- I'll see you later today.

[muffled chattering]

- [Hillary] Hey.

- God, I just heard
about Dr. Hanson!

I'm so sorry, Hillary.

What the hell happened?

- The official report
is a broken neck.

They're saying that
she either fell

or someone might've pushed her.

- Who would do such a thing?

- I don't know.

I'm trying to figure that out.

- Listen, I am here for
you, always, all right?

And if you need some time off,

I'm sure the hospital
would understand.

- Thanks, May.

May, it's okay.

Thanks.

I just need a friend.

- You've got one,
honey, right here.

Right here.

[phone ringing]

- Oh, that's John.

I have to take this.
- Go, go, go, go.

- John.

- [John] I'm so
glad you picked up.

I'm having the worst
day of my life.

- You and me both.
- Why, what's going on?

Are you okay?

- Lori's dead.
- What?

Are you serious?

How, when?

- They're saying that it's
some horrible accident,

but I think there's more to
it than that. [sniffling]

Sorry.

What about the event?

- [John] Well, let's not
get into that right now.

I just need to make a
good impression tonight,

but that's not what's important.

What's important
is you right now.

- Okay, I'm gonna get
home as soon as I can

and we'll work
this out together.

- [John] Okay.

I love you.

- I love you too, so, so much.

[ominous music]

[sighing]

[gentle guitar music]

[guests chattering indistinctly]

- A thousand poets
dreamed a thousand years,

then you were born.

What's wrong?

- Nothing.

I love that film.

- I know.

It's a great line and I mean it.

- Very nice to see you
again, Mrs. Barclay.

- Ah, it's still Penzer.
[laughing]

- Oh, right.

When is the big day?

- Soon enough, but I am honored

to be called Mrs. Barclay
by you, Mr. Richards.

- [laughing] Well, John
is a very fortunate man.

- I'd say we all are.

- Everything is
ready, I take it?

- Just say when.

- When.

Ladies and gentlemen, if I could
have your attention please.

First I wanna thank
all of you for coming.

[tense string music]

Latest and greatest tower.

Mr. John Barclay here
has worked for months,

day and night, to create
what you're about to see.

We're very proud, very excited

at the great job
that John has done.

And now I'm gonna ask
John to come up here

and speak for himself.

John.

- Thank you, sir.

[forceful exhaling]

When I was given this
wonderful assignment,

I knew that we needed
to design a Plaza square

that would be a
landmark for downtown.

[tense string music]

- Come on, come on, that's it.

- Yet elegant, and attract
the young and old alike.

So, without any further ado,

I give to you the
new Central Plaza.

[Hillary laughs]

[tense string music]

[Gregory laughs]

[beeping]

[ominous music]

[static crackling]

[guests murmuring]

I'll be right back.

[beeping]

Sorry about this, folks.

- Yeah.

Soon, my love.

Soon.

- You gonna get dressed today?

- Ugh, why bother?

Eight years down the drain.

My career is over.

After that memo and
that display fiasco,

I am done, finished,
end of story.

- You are not done or finished.

You need to get some
perspective, okay?

Lori's gone.

You are sitting right
here next to someone

who loves you no matter what.

- My God, you're right.

You're right, I'm so sorry.

A job is just a job.

There's no comparison.

I'm here for you, Hill.

Hey, do you just wanna get
outta here, go somewhere?

- No, I just wanna
be next to the man

that I fell in love with.

- I know, and I
wanna be with you.

I just, I don't want you feeling

like you're marrying a loser.

- I would never feel that way.

Ever.

Now, do you have any idea

who would wanna
ruin your career?

Any idea who would send
that email to your boss?

- Someone that wants to
get me fired, obviously.

- [Hillary] Well, does
anyone at the office

have access to your computer?

- No, just me.

I told you about my computer
troubles, my firewall.

Me, Mr. Firewall,
as in got me fired.

Yeah, you and that IT
guy couldn't save me

from that one.

- What IT guy?

- When my computer crashed,

I had a tech guy come out.

He saved my files.

- Well, he was here?

You let him in the house?

- Well yeah, I had
to give him access

to the computer to fix it.

- Well did you leave him
alone with your computer?

Even for a second?

- Yeah, for a few minutes

when the garage repairmen
you hired came over.

- Do you remember
what he looked like?

What his name was?

Try and think.

- He was about six feet
tall, he had dark hair.

I think he said
his name was Greg.

- John, my patient, the one
that broke into the house,

he's an IT guy and his
name is Gregory Lipton.

- Are you serious?

- That's why it was so
easy for him to break in.

He was trying to
make you seem like

you weren't husband material,

like you weren't
worthy of my love.

And we almost played
right into his hand.

- Son of a bitch.

- I'm gonna call
Detective Meadows.

- You know what, I
know where he works.

He gave me his business card.

Kingman Electronics.

- Yes, can I speak to Detective
Allison Meadows please?

Well, do you know where she is?

Yes, it's Saturday, I
know where to find her.

Thanks, bye.

- His name isn't on the card,
just the company phone number.

That's why I didn't
make the connection.

- I have to go talk
to Detective Meadows.

- I'm coming with you.

- No, no, not dressed like that.

You're not in any shape
to go to a funeral.

- I am if it's Gregory Lipton's.

- No, it's not.

Just stay here, get a shower,
get some food in your system.

I'm gonna go take care of this.

I'll be back soon.

[somber piano music]

- Hi, thanks for coming.

- I'm the doctor at the hospital
that she was brought to.

I just came 'cause
I thought there,

I thought there would be
somebody that I knew here today.

- Who?
- A detective.

- Ah, Detective Meadows.

Yeah, you just missed her.

She was here looking
for someone too,

someone who sure as
hell isn't welcome here

and he knows it.

- I should,

I should go.

- No, I'm sorry.

Can we start over?

I'm Newton, Newton Trenton.

I was a close
friend of Monica's.

- I'm Hillary Penzer, and
I'm very sorry for your loss.

- I need to know.

Was it really a gas leak
like the report said?

- They did find carbon
monoxide in her system,

but that's all I can tell you

because I don't know.

- Monica was a great person.

Only mistake she ever
made was getting involved

with that deranged
Gregory Lipton.

- You didn't approve
of their relationship?

- Nobody did.

Look, I only met the
guy a couple times.

He creeped me out.

It's like he
thought he owned her

just because they were dating.

I was so happy
when Monica told me

she had ended it with him.

- I thought they were engaged.

- What?

No.

No way, she was done with him.

In fact, she was
coming to visit me

the following day had this
accident not happened.

- I heard that she accepted
his proposal that night.

- From who, Lipton? [laughs]

The guy was delusional.

There's no way in hell
that that happened.

Look, I don't know what
went on in that apartment

that night with
them, but I'm having

a real hard time
believing that she died

of an accidental gas leak.

- Well, you're not the only one,

but the fact of the matter is
that Mr. Lipton almost died.

He was touch and
go for a second.

- Almost doesn't count.

Look, I'm telling you,
this guy was obsessed.

I wouldn't put it past him

to try and pull a
Romeo and Juliet

thinkin' that they would
die in a tragic romance.

He was probably upset that
he didn't die that night.

Why do you think he didn't
show his face here today?

LoOk, I don't care
what the report said.

I know that Gregory
Lipton was responsible

for Monica's death
one way or another.

If I were you, I'd stay
away from that psycho.

Excuse me.

[somber piano music]

[sighs] Thank you.

Thanks so much, thank you.

It was beautiful, I
appreciate it, thank you.

[ominous music]

[Newt grunting]

[Newt gagging]

- Not my Hillary, Newt.

You may have gotten to Monica,

but you can't have Hillary.

She's mine.

All mine!

- May.

- Hillary, I didn't think
you'd be here today.

- Well, I wasn't supposed to.

I just came from Monica
Roberts' funeral.

- The gas leak woman?

- Having serious
doubts about that.

Is Dr. Stevens here today?

I need to talk to
him about the autopsy

that he performed on her.

- Let me check.

How you holdin' up?

- Been better.

- [May] You think Dr.
Stevens made a mistake

with his diagnosis?

- Yes.

The carbon monoxide
levels in her lungs

were too low to
cause suffocation.

I think that he may have
jumped to conclusions

because of the gas leak.

- Well, if that didn't
kill her, what did?

- The question
might be, who did?

- He's in his office.

Good luck.
- Thanks, May.

[suspenseful music]

Dr. Stevens, hi.
- Dr. Penzer.

What brings you down here?

- An autopsy on one of my
patients, Monica Roberts.

She died of CO poisoning.

- Carbon monoxide?

That doesn't ring any bells.

Let me see the
number on the file.

I heard about Dr.
Hanson, by the way.

My condolences.

I never met her, but I
heard she was a class act.

- She was.

Thank you.

- This, this is very odd.

This isn't the file
that I reported.

I mean, I signed
the official report

but this has been altered.

- Altered?

- Yeah.

Yeah, I keep my
handwritten notes as backup

in case I have to
give a testimony.

Yeah.

Yeah, look.

The woman died by asphyxiation.

She had markings
all over her neck

consistent with strangulation.

I recommended the
authorities investigate this

as a homicide.

- So, so are you telling me

that someone broke
into your system

and changed your findings?

- Exactly.

Clearly I have to start
proofreading my reports

before I sign them.

- Thank you, Dr.
Stevens, I have to run.

[elevator dinging]

Wait!

I know him.

- [Automated Voice] We're sorry,

all of our representatives
are still assisting

other customers.

Please remain on
the line as we--

- [Dan] Customer Service,
this is Dan Clark.

How can I help you?

- Yes, look, my name
is John Barclay.

I have been on hold and
transferred for over an hour.

I called your
company the other day

to send out an IT
maintenance guy.

- [Dan] Yes, Mr.
Barclay, you weren't home

when our man arrived.

- Excuse me?

I absolutely was home,
and I met with the guy.

- [Dan] Well, we were
informed when he got there

that you didn't answer the door.

Some workmen in the
garage said you had left.

- No, that is not what happened.

I met with an employee of yours,

a guy named Gregory Lipton.

- [Dan] Mr. Lipton no longer
works for our company.

He was dismissed
about a year ago.

- Is that so?

Okay, well I wanna know what
he was doing at my house

and I wanna know why
your company let him go.

- Let me know when Mr.
Trenton regains consciousness.

- [Nurse] Yes, Dr. Penzer.

[soft string music]

- Okay great, yeah, thank you.

You've been very helpful.

[phone ringing]

- [Hillary] You've
reached the voicemail

of Dr. Hillary Penzer.

Please leave a message
at the sound of the beep.

If this is a medical emergency,

please hang up and dial 911.

[beeping]

- Hey honey, it's John.

Listen, I have some very
interesting information

about our guy, Gregory Lipton.

It turns out Monica
Roberts was not

the first woman to not
live happily ever after

with this guy.

When he was stationed in China,

there was a woman
who disappeared.

Then when he came back here

there was a harassment
charge from a female employee

in the accounting office.

That's why he was fired
from Kingman Electronics.

Listen, as soon as you get
this, call me back, okay?

I'm assuming you're
at the hospital.

I'm coming over there now.

[ominous music]

- Hey John.

Relax, relax, relax, relax.

I'm sorry, pal, but how am
I supposed to get Hillary

to be in a serious
relationship with me

when you're still around?

I'll just let the police decide

whether you fell
asleep behind the wheel

or you committed suicide.

Don't worry, I'm gonna take
much better care of her.

She'll be safe with me.

I'll give her the
life she deserves.

[keys clacking]

[beeping]

Hi, Hillary.

It's good to see you.

You're looking beautiful today.

- Oh my God, that's my house!

How,

how did you know I was here?

- You logged into this terminal.

Good at computers, remember?

- Including John's computer?

- He left himself wide open.

A smart man knows he's gotta be

a lot more careful these days.

- That little stunt
got him fired.

- I needed you to understand
he's not the man for you.

I don't wanna see you
make that mistake.

- Who do you think you are?

- I'm the man who's
gonna take care of you,

cherish you, and love
you for all eternity.

- The police are
looking for you.

- Ah, the police are
always looking for someone.

- In the connection of the
deaths of Monica Roberts

and Lori Hanson.

- Oh yes, Dr. Hanson.

I know she's your friend
but you gotta understand

that she's just
gonna get in the way.

- In the way of what?

- Our happiness.

- [Hillary] Did you
have something to do

with what happened to her?

- People fall in the
dark all the time.

Accidents happen.

- They brought a man named
Newton Trenton in today.

Do you know anything about that?

- I saw you talkin'
to him at the funeral.

- [Hillary] You were there?

- I'm always there, Hillary.

I have to protect you even
from your own bad choices.

- Where are you?
- Close.

I'm always close by.

Ah, but don't worry, we'll
be together again soon.

I just have to take care
of a few loose ends.

- Mr. Lipton, listen to me.

There is no us.

I am in love with my fiancee

and you need help.

You have a very serious
mental condition and I--

- Wow, you sound just
like all the others.

- Others?

What others?

- They're not important.

From now on, it's all about you.

You saved me, now it's
my turn to save you.

I'll be in touch.

[beeping]

- Wait, Mister...

[phone ringing]

- [Det. Meadows] Detective
Meadows speaking.

- Yes, Detective,
it's Dr. Penzer.

I was just contacted
by Gregory Lipton

from my home computer,

but he's not using a program
that's on that computer.

- Yeah, send me the IP address

of the computer Mr.
Lipton Skyped you on.

We might be able to
track down the number

and server he called you from.

- [May] Hill, the
guy in ICU's awake.

- Meadows, Newton just woke up.

I'm gonna go talk to him.

I'm gonna hand you
over to Nurse Williams

and she's gonna get
you that IP address.

- If he's able to
communicate at all,

wait until I arrive,
you understand, Hillary?

This'll help me build my case,

put Mr. Lipton behind bars.

- May, can you give
Detective Meadows

anything that she needs?

- You got it.

Hey, hey, shouldn't you
wait for the police?

- Waiting is what
got Lori killed.

- Yeah.

Okay.

[soft string music]

- You're gonna be
okay, Mr. Trenton.

I know that you can barely
move let alone talk,

but I need to know
who did this to you.

Can you blink once
yes and twice for no?

Good.

Did you see who did this to you?

Was it Gregory Lipton?

Thank you, Mr. Trenton.

The police will catch him.

I promise.

[phone ringing]

Mom, I'm so sorry.

It just got so busy,
I couldn't call.

How are you?

- Honey, really, how many
times do I have to tell you

I'm gonna be fine!

- Well, I'm a doctor so I
kinda take illness seriously.

- That's an understatement.

I mean, do you really think
I need a personal nurse?

- [Hillary] What nurse?

- [Barbara] The one you sent
over today to take care of me.

I didn't really need one,
but a male nurse this cute,

how could I say no? [laughing]

- Is he there with
you right now?

- Yes.

- Can I talk to him?

[classical string music]

- [Barbara] My daughter
wants to talk to you.

- Hello, Dr. Penzer.

I absolutely adore your mom.

I'm so happy we finally met.

- Mr. Lipton--

- Please, you know it's Gregory.

- Gregory, I need you to leave
my mom's house right now.

- Actually, I was hoping
that you'd come over

and join us, and I won't
take no for an answer.

- Gregory, you need help.

- No.

What I need is you, Hillary.

Now your mother's fine now

and if you want her
to stay that way,

you'll get in the car
and you'll swing by.

We need to talk,
just the two of us,

no distractions and
no police, please.

Otherwise your mother
might have to take

a long, long nap.

- I understand.

I'll be there as soon as I can,

and please don't hurt her.

- Actually, that's
the last thing

that I would do to my
future mother-in-law.

See you soon, love.

[phone beeps]

[suspenseful music]

- [May] Hillary, I
gave Detective Meadows

all the information.

What'd you find out?

- [Hillary] I have
to see my mom.

Can't talk.

- What should I tell Meadows?

- [Gregory] Good
soup, Mrs. Penzer?

- Yes.

Just so sleepy all of a sudden.

- Well sleep is good, it
speeds up the recovery process.

You wanna lay down
for a little bit?

- Yes, I, I think that
would be a good idea.

- [Gregory] Let me help you.

We'll get you good
and comfortable.

Come on.

That's it, nice and easy.

- Call John.

- [Automated Voice]
Calling John.

[phone ringing]

[engine humming]

- [John] This is John Barclay.

Leave a message.

- Call John.

- [Automated Voice]
Calling John.

[phone ringing]

[phone ringing]

[thudding]

[gentle piano music]

- [Hillary] Mom?

- Shh shh shh shh!

She's asleep, she's fine.

I just gave her a
little something.

Won't disturb us.

Wine?

- Thank you.

- Now, I know women like
to play hard to get,

but I think play time's
over, don't you agree?

- Yes.

- And I also think
that it's time

to take our relationship
to the next level.

You feel it, I feel it,
why fight the inevitable?

- What's the inevitable?

- You and me.

It's a love that
can't be denied.

- Well, what about the others?

- Who are you talking about?

Dr. Hanson?

Newton Trenton?

Oh, don't worry, they're
outta the picture.

- [Hillary] Well, what
about Monica Roberts

or that woman in China?

- Maggie?

You heard about her?

[laughs] That's amazing.

Okay.

Fresh start, huh?

No more skeletons in the closet.

Okay, what do you
wanna know, Hillary?

- What happened to them?

- Happened.

Let's see.

Well, Maggie wasn't ready

and her family had strong
objections to us being together.

It didn't end well.

She had an accident.

- The same kind of accident
that happened to Monica Roberts?

- No.

Monica loved me.

If it wasn't for that
creature named Newt

just whispering,
whispering in her ear.

He didn't want us
to be together.

He wanted her all to himself.

But I told you the truth.

I did propose to her that night.

- But she didn't say yes.

- No.

She rejected me.

Can you believe that?

You don't do that to
a guy who loves you.

- What did you do
to her, Gregory?

- She wanted to kick me out.

She wouldn't shut up.

I just wanted her to be quiet.

It was an accident.

She wouldn't wake up

so I figured we
should both sleep.

- You broke the gas
pipe in the kitchen.

- I needed the gas
to get into her body.

So I lifted her into the bed

and I climbed in next to her.

I figured if we can't be
together in this life,

we'll be together in the next.

But then you saved me.

And then I realized that I
wasn't meant to be with Monica.

She was just leading me to you.

It was fate!

- What you got for me?

- [Officer] Yeah, we located
the origin of that call

from the IP address
that you sent us.

- And?

- [Officer] It was sent
from a computer terminal

at 1572 Wilmont Street.

- I know that address.

[engine revving]

- And Lori?

- Oh, Dr. Hanson.

Yeah, she didn't get
us from the start.

Ahh, I knew she had to go.

She was gonna tear us apart.

All it took was a little push.

Don't worry, her
neck snapped so fast

that I seriously doubt
that she felt any pain.

Wow!

This feels so good.

You know, it's
true what they say.

Confession is good for the soul.

Your turn.

- My turn for what?

- Your turn to let go
of the past, Hillary.

Get John and all those
others out of your system.

Come on.

- You're right, you're right.

I'm just, I'm gonna call John--

- Hey, hey, hey.
- And let him...

- No need.

He knows.

[ominous music]

- What does he know, Gregory?

- I just bet that he's
lookin' down on us right now,

givin' us his blessing.

- What did you do?

- Okay, let's just
say that I helped

put him out of his misery, okay?

Trust me, I know that a
life without you, Hillary,

is a worse fate than death.

- John's dead? [whimpering]

- [Gregory] Mm-hm.

[suspenseful music]

- Dr. Penzer?

It's Detective Meadows.

Are you here?

Dr. Penzer!

Detective Meadows.

Are you here?

[alarm beeping]

[coughing]

Hey!

[John coughs]

Hey, hey!

- Yes.

Yes, I want...

I feel the same way.

- [Gregory] I knew it!

- May I see my mom now, please?

- Sure.

[door creaking]

- What did you give her?
- Hey.

Zopiclone, I nabbed it from
the hospital supply room.

See, she's fine.

- Mom?
- Let's let her rest, huh?

Come on, let's go.

Come on.
- Wait.

- She and I were having such
a good time this afternoon.

I can't believe that you thought

that she wouldn't like me.

- I never said that.

I just didn't think that
we should rush things.

- Life is short, Hillary.

You gotta take
advantage of each moment

when it arrives.

- Well, you're absolutely right.

What are you waiting for?

- Are you suggesting
what I think you are?

- Well, as you said, no
better time than the present.

- Good thing I
always come prepared.

- So do I.

- Dr. Hillary Penzer--

- Wait, wait, wait!

I've been waiting for this
moment my entire life.

If we're gonna do it,
we should do it right.

- Yeah.
- Yeah?

- You're right.

Dr. Hillary Penzer,
will you marry me?

No!

[thudding]

Gah!

What did you do?

[police siren wailing]

[dramatic music]

You swore an oath, do no harm.

[thwacking]

- You're not my patient.

- [panting] You betrayed me.

You lied to me!

You never loved me.

- Finally, you get it.

[gun clicking]

John!
- Ah, sweetheart.

- [Det. Meadows]
Don't move, Lipton.

- I gave him a really
strong tranquilizer.

He's not moving for hours.

- [John] Baby, are you okay?

Did he hurt you?

Come on, talk to me, tell me.

What happened?

- [Hillary] He said
that you were dead!

- Listen, if you didn't
have those repairmen

install the carbon monoxide
sensors in the garage,

I would be.

You saved my life, Hill.

- I think I had somethin'
to do with that, too.

- How did you find me?

- My guys tracked
that IP address

from John's home computer.

When you didn't answer your
phone, I called Nurse May.

She told me you were
going to see your mom.

Where is she?

- Oh, she's fine.

He didn't hurt her.

- He didn't hurt
you either, right?

- He's not gonna
hurt anyone anymore,

not where he's goin'.

[soft piano music]

- [John] To you, Dr. Barclay.

[glasses clinking]

- You know, I was thinking

now that you've
been made partner

and you're gonna be working

from a real office
for a change--

- I know, I'm still
having a hard time

wrapping my head
around that one.

- I'm not.

You're perfect,
anyone can see that.

- I know.
[laughing]

So what were you thinking?

- Well, maybe we can make
some changes to the house.

- Hm, what kinda changes?

- Well, not so much changes.

Maybe an addition.

Like a crib.

- Wait, are you, is
that why you're...

- Maybe.

- Did you say maybe
or did you say baby?

- Just kiss me.

[gentle, eerie piano music]

- Good morning.

Here you go, Mr. Lipton.

- Pamela, how many
times have I told you?

Call me Gregory.

- Very good, Mr. Lipton.

- Gregory.

You know I was engaged before?

- Yes, I've heard
the doctor mention it

once or twice before.

- Oh, she's nowhere near as
beautiful as you are, Pamela.

- You know better than that.

You're a patient here, Mister,

Gregory.

- Well, I'm not gonna be a
patient here forever, Pamela.

Every day I'm feeling
better and better.

[door bangs shut]
