( bell dings, door opens )

( bell dings, door opens )

I'm sorry,
I didn't mean to stare.

( bell dings, door opens )

Uh, that was a lie.
I did mean to stare.

WOMAN:
Let's go, please.

Because you're pretty,
in a real nice way.

Thanks.

After the opening of my show,

I went to Fantasia, the movie,

and, uh, I ate some Raisinets

and I started thinking about
our last session together.

And I found myself
becoming a child again,

like, before the age of reason,
before the age of pubic hair.

An innocent feeling.

Yeah. Yeah.

I mean.

I haven't felt so pure since

before I went to jail.

Can I show and tell?

All right,
but don't be critical,

because this is just
a work in progress.

My latest paint job.

I call it Olivia's Travels III,

the last of a trilogy.

She looks like an angel.

Yeah. Yeah.
That's exactly what she is.

We were at
the Tavern on the Green

to have lunch,
like we do every Wednesday.

God, that place, you know,

with the big windows
and the trees outside.

You don't feel
like you're in New York,

you feel like you're
in another world.

An enchanted, mystical one.

And,

we fucked there.

I mean, um.

We fucked before
they even sat us at our table.

I'd just gone
to the ladies' room

and when I came out,

he was waiting for me.

With that look in his eye.

And he started kissing me.

and backed me
into a maintenance room.

And started taking off
my clothes.

( melodic theme playing )

I kept looking at the door,

wondering if it would open.

When we were naked,

we got on the floor

and started tasting each other.

Oh, um.

There's another moment
I should mention.

Before we actually began

making love, he, um...

He noticed these pipes

running along the ceiling.

He said that he wanted to
tie my wrists to them

and make love to me from behind.

And I came when he said that.

Spontaneously.

He hadn't even touched me.

I just.

Closed my eyes and.

Reached up on my toes.

And it happened.

Your cheeks are pink.

Aren't I the one
who should be blushing?

I don't think I'm blushing, Eve,

but it is a sexy story.

You like my stories about him,

don't you?

Experiencing spontaneous orgasm

following her lover's
telling her

he wanted to tie her wrists

to overhead pipes

and have intercourse with her
in that position.

This is the first time
her explorations

have extended
into the bondage area.

Patient also indicated
she thought therapist

may be responding
to her sexual stories.

Patient seemed pleased by this.

I remember this patient
I used to have.

Well, he was gorgeous.
He looked like Richard Gere

and he would talk about
his sexual explorations

with his girlfriend.

I mean, these people!
They didn't eat,

they didn't sleep,
they didn't work.

They just explored
new ways to fuck.

After his session,
I wouldn't be worth a damn.

Did you stop treating him?
Hell, no.

I just rescheduled him
for the end of the day

so I could run home
and rape Leo.

You did not.

( panting )

Sarah, I think this is more

than just a patient's
stories bothering me.

Why don't you come over
for dinner tonight.

Talk to Leo.

Yeah.

SARAH:
Yeah, we used to have a little mutt

when we lived on 14th Street.

Do you remember that?
Alby?

What? The mutt
was on 86th Street.

No.
Remember, we had a mutt on...

When we had that
little apartment on...

Wasn't even an apartment...

It was like a...
321 West 4th Street?

No, no, no,
you lived there alone.

I didn't live there with you.

We had the mutt
when we had the...

This man makes
the best pot roast

in the city of New York.
Now, that I agree with.

I'm having this recurring
dream about her lover.

It's happening more and more.

Have you ever met him?

No.

So you really...

You really couldn't be
dreaming about him, could you?

No, I guess not.

What else is happening
in your life?

What about, uh...
What about you and Paul?

What's going on there?

I'm so angry at him.

You wanna talk about that?

Paul and I haven't slept

in the same bed for six months.

He's drinking a lot.

Nothing's right.
It never has been.

I don't... I just don't wanna
be there anymore.

So, what are you gonna
do about this?

I'm gonna confront him.

Tonight.

SARAH: Goodbye.
ANN: Thanks for dinner.

See you tomorrow.

You sure you don't want Leo
to walk you home?

No.
Okay.

I think you should call me

over the weekend
if it doesn't get better.

It's a very difficult situation.

Leo, you know the work we did
together back at school?

Yeah.

We got into some areas

I didn't really wanna
explore at the time.

The whole trust business
with men and...

Mm-hm.

I think I'm ready to explore

some of those things now.

With you.

Ann, that was seven years ago.

You were a medical student

and you got in trouble
and I was your therapist.

But, I mean, a lot of time has gone by now.
We're friends.

We're practically family.

Leo, I don't wanna
go see somebody else.

All right. Give me a couple of
days to think about it, okay?

Okay.

( classical music playing )

( dog yaps )

So where were you?

I had a bite with Leo and Sarah.

Thought you had a meeting.
No, it was cancelled.

I wish you'd called.

1900 was playing at the Village

and I wanted to see it.

I'm sorry.

Paul.

Can we talk?

Sure, Ann, we can talk.

Only, before you get started,

I wanna tell you about
a decision I've reached.

I've decided to move back
into my own apartment.

Now, this decision
has little to do with you.

To use a cliché,

I just need my own space
for a while.

We can still see each other,
of course.

( melodic theme playing )

( sighs )

( bell dings, door opens )

( bell dings, door opens )

Thanks for the compliment
the other day.

It came at a really nice time.

Excuse me.
My name's Doug McDowell.

You don't know me from Adam,

but would you consider having
a cup of coffee with me?

Not now.
Sometime, I mean.

I could supply references.

My sister will vouch
for me anytime.

Just coffee.

You're not feeling verbal today?

See, I had this shitty impulse
the other day

and it's just staying with me.

Okay, let's talk about it.

Well, you know the girl
who has the sessions after me?

Well, I saw her
as I was leaving last week.

and she.

She dug deep inside of me.

Haughty and pristine.
That conceit.

I mean, who the fuck
does she think she is?

Okay, first, let's change
the day of your appointment.

It also might be a good idea
for us to see one another

more than once a week.

For a while.

Okay.

Okay. I...

All I wanna do is just keep
my head together and paint.

ANN:
Saying that patient whose sessions follow his own

provoke fantasies of bondage,
sexual subjugation, sadism.

( sighs )

He hasn't talked about
these things in a long time.

LEO:
Come in.

No filtering of any kind.
Just the first image or thought

that comes to mind, okay?

The dream.

The one that keeps repeating?

Mm-hm.

Um, just images, really.

( suspenseful theme playing )

A bedroom.

ANN:
Soft light.

Um.

Hands on skin.

Other things.

Sexy.

LEO:
You see faces in this dream?

No.

Not really.

Are you the woman in the dream?

Or is it this patient
of yours, Eve?

I think it's her.

Could it possibly be that
I'm attracted to her?

I-I mean,
she's very beautiful, I...

Let's not jump
to conclusions, all right?

Just...
Just keep exploring.

I'm glad I'm here.

Good.

Now, let's go on.

( phone rings )

Hello?

Hi.
It's Doug McDowell.

Hi, how are you?
Fine.

I'm still wondering
about that coffee.

Oh, uh.

When?

How about now?

Well, I'm in jeans.

Well, that's okay.

That's perfect.
I got the perfect place.

The food is great
and the view is.

The most spectacular
in the world.

The most spectacular
in the world, huh?

ANN ( giggles): Wow.

Absolutely just...
Wow.

I've never seen anything
like this in my life.

How long have you been
doing this?

Uh, since high school.

I was in the Air Force.

I've been in the charter
business about four years.

Wanna get something to eat?

Mm-mm.

I don't want it to stop.
Well, it won't.

There's this great fish place
in Nantucket.

Do you like fish?

Nantucket Island?
Massachusetts?

Yeah, it's only an hour.

Clear night, no traffic.

This is decadent.

All right. Sure.

Let's go eat fish in Nantucket.

( melodic theme playing )

The marriage only lasted
a year and a half.

It wasn't terrific.

I guess the good news is
we had no kids.

How about you?

No.
I've never been married.

How come?

I had medical school for
four years. Then my residency.

Internship, another four.

Didn't leave a lot of time
for a social life.

Weren't we supposed to trade
the best days of our lives?

Yeah, but mine would all be
one-track. It's all flying.

Well, go ahead.

Okay, best day of my life...

The first time I did aerobatics.

I did a loop, did a roll.

in the front seat
of a military trainer.

Strapped me in.

I remember thinking.

it was just like grabbing God
by the ears

and giving him a big, wet kiss

right in the middle
of his forehead.

I guess mine would have to be

my tenth birthday.

I went fishing with my father.

And we just.

sat in this little boat all day.

Just talking.

about everything.

And fishing.

Best day I ever had.

He was a pilot.

During the Korean War.

I'd like to talk to him
about that.

He's dead.

Oh.

I'm sorry.
No, it's okay.

It was a long time ago.

( foghorn blows in distance )

Where are you from?

Wisconsin.
Whitewater, Wisconsin.

Keokuk, Iowa.
Born and raised.

Midwesterners,
the best people in the world.

The very best.

Let me get that door
for you, huh?

( laughs )

ANN:
Thanks.

I can call you tomorrow
if you like.

Okay.

I had a great time.
Good.

Good night.

( melodic theme playing )

Hey, Steve Canyon.

What?

You want a cup of coffee?

( quiet piano theme playing )

Hey.

I'm okay.

You just may be the gentlest
man I've ever met.

May I get undressed?

Why do you wanna do that?

I wanna bare myself to you
physically

the way I've bared myself
psychologically.

The mind and body should
never be kept so separate.

Now, Eve, I...
Please.

I need to do this.

I've never felt closer

to another woman ever

in my life.

Not my mother.

or my sister.

Eve.

Am I pretty?

I think you know you are, Eve.

I fantasized that I would
masturbate in front of you.

( suspenseful theme playing )

( whimpers )

( laughs )

Oh, God.

Don't ask me what I'm doing.

( laughing )

Oh, God.

We had a fight.

A horrible, horrible fight.

A physical fight?

He started torturing me.

Bringing me close and stopping,

then bringing me close again.

And then he stopped.

and took his necktie
and tied my hands together

in front of me.

He had a rope.

which he'd strung over a rafter.

( light ethereal theme playing )

And he put a chair under it

and ordered me to stand on it.

There was a noose in the rope.

And, um.

He, um.

Told me to put my neck into it.

While he took a Polaroid of me.

And the flash blinded me but.

when I could see again,
he was behind me.

Whispering in my ear.

He told me that he owned me
and that he could...

He could kick the chair out
from me and I would hang.

And then.

He.

Knelt in front of me.

And began to make love to me

as I stood there.

And I'd never come so hard
in all my life.

I just convulsed.

( softly)
It's okay.

It's okay.

You told her that what they're
doing is dangerous, right?

Of course.

But I also had
this intuition today...

What if it's all delusional?

What, you mean if this lover
of hers doesn't exist at all?

Well, I realized
her descriptions of him

have changed over time.

I took a look at my notes.

There's all kinds
of discrepancies.

Well, discrepancies
don't necessarily mean

he doesn't exist.

Maybe she changes him
in her mind for fun. Maybe...

Maybe he's a composite
of several different men.

Who knows?

I'd love to go over there.

She says she has lunch
with him every Wednesday

at Tavern on the Green.

( giggles )

You can't spy on her.

What are you talking about?
I know.

Come on.
Let's talk about you.

I met a guy.

A very gentle,

wonderful guy.

I invited him in
and I slept with him.

You feel okay about it?
Actually, I feel very okay.

He's not the intellectual type.

He's sort of a man's man.
He flies planes for a living.

I just felt real secure
with this guy.

You trusted him?

( melodic theme playing )

He felt familiar.

Familiar.

And he's a pilot.

I think I know what
you're getting at.

But, yeah, actually there,

are a lot of things about him
that remind me of my father.

I sound like one big cliché.

Well, a cliché is one thing
you've never been.

I think this guy could be
really good for me.

Really good.

DOUG:
Ann, it's Doug.

I, uh, just wanted
to tell you how much

I loved my first visit

to Carnegie Hall
the other night.

I really did have
a good time. And I, uh...

I just...

I can't seem to
stop thinking about you.

God, I hope that
doesn't scare you.

Uh, see you tomorrow night.

( uplifting romantic
theme playing )

You see something you like?

Uh, yeah, can I see these here?

ANN:
Today's Wednesday, isn't it?

Yep. Wednesday.

Would you go through the park,
please,

and drop me off
at Tavern on the Green?

ANN:
Be right back.

( patrons chatter softly )

( suspenseful theme builds )

Ann!
What's going on?

( turns faucet on )

( phone rings )

ANN'S VOICE:
Hi, it's Ann.

Please leave a message, thanks.
( be ep )

DOUG:
Ann, it's Doug.

What was that all about today?

If it was that girl,

she's just an old friend.

I dated her a long time ago

and we ran into one another
and decided to have lunch.

Ann, I'm really concerned.

Will you give me a call, please?

( disconnects )

I don't know.
He's gone.

For good.

He's probably
on to some other cunt.

I don't know, he didn't have
the balls to tell me.

Eve, you've never
mentioned his name.

Francis Douglas McDowell.

Heartless cocksucker.

Where did you meet him?

The tranquilizers you're giving
me are not doing a thing.

Can you give me something
stronger, please?

I'll prescribe something
before you leave.

Great. Thank you.

Eve, there's an issue
I wanna open.

Lately, I've been wondering

if we've been making as much
progress as we should be.

You're jilting me too.

I wouldn't characterize this
as jilting you.

I simply think it's time for us

to evaluate our work together.

Can you excuse me
just one minute? I'm...

I've gotta make a call.

I'll be right back.

( door closes )

( answering machine beeps )

Leo, it's me.
I need to talk to you.

It's an emergency.

Oh, Leo.

( ominous theme playing )

( suspenseful theme playing )

Ann, listen to me, please.

I don't know
what's going on here.

Haven't you gotten any of the
messages I left on your machine?

Will you stop, please,
and listen to me, damn it?

( ominous theme playing )

I was merely having lunch
with a woman.

Hey. Hey!

What, did you go find him
when my stories made you hot?

I left without my prescription.

I need it.

Eve, we met by coincidence.

It's imperative that
you know that.

My shrink has been sleeping
with my man.

I mean, I know,
I know, I'm prettier than her.

I can't believe
that she fucks better.

( laughs hysterically )

They've been fucking.

My psychiatrist has been
fucking my boyfriend.

Eve, let me...
Shut up.

I took some file folders
from your office today.

so that you wouldn't toss me.

They had some, um,

tapes in them.

Wow.

What tapes.

Now I'm gonna hurt you
with them.

I should have put a knife
into you a long time ago.

Get the fuck out of my way.

I swear to you, I had no idea.

( doorbell rings )

Right. She came back
and they were gone. Yeah.

How many are missing?

Eight folders.
Her own and seven others.

Any one of those patients
could sue you blind.

I'm-I'm worried about her.

What you should be worried
about is yourself.

And your other patients.

"Hello, Mrs. Smith.
I'm reading about

"your husband's pedophilic
fantasies.

Did you know
he had those?"

I think she could do something
really self-destructive.

I'm gonna call her.

We gotta think about you for
a minute. Sit down here.

Take a seat.

I talked to Arnie.
Oh, good. What'd he say?

Arnie Levin is probably

the best malpractice attorney
in the city.

I told him exactly
what happened.

First of all, you should not
contact her personally.

You should have
an attorney do it

after she's had a chance
to cool down.

He'll do it, if we want him to.

You know, this whole episode
wasn't a coincidence.

You bet it wasn't.

This McDowell, he had to know
that she was seeing you.

I think he, he tracked you down

and he bedded you...

And then he made goddamn sure

that she found out about it.

I don't think so.

Ann, what are the odds,
the numerical odds,

of this man running into you,

purely by chance, in this city?

Son of a bitch.

I think I was falling in love
with him.

What, you got the locks
changed already?

Paul, you're drunk.

Well, I haven't been able
to get you on the phone.

Now, don't you think
there may be

just a few things to be said?

Paul, something happened today.

I don't wanna talk right now.

I'll call you next week.

( door closes )

( suspenseful theme playing )

( moans )

( no audio )

( excited percussive
theme playing )

( moans )

( suspenseful theme builds )

MORGANSTERN:
Where is she, Billy?

BILLY:
There's an apartment
in the back. She's in there.

All right, fellas, come on,
give them some room.

BILLY:
Looks like suicide at this point.

I understand that
you were her psychiatrist.

Yes.

You found the body?

I got here about 10

and the door was open.
I came in.

Where's your office?

Five Hundred, Fifth Avenue.

Do you usually make house calls?

No.

She was under a lot of
stress lately and I couldn't

get her on the phone.
Stress? What kind of stress?

I can't disclose that.

Right. Right.

Doctor-patient confidentiality
and all of that.

How long you been treating her?

Three and a half months.

How many times a week?
Twice.

Let's see.

If there's four weeks
in a month,

that's $300 per week...

That's about 4 grand,
I would think.

Jeez, all that money
changing hands

and you couldn't even save her
from killing herself.

Do you want anything else
from me?

I guess we got
your home number and all.

You can go.

Leo, I should have
done something.

I should have
knocked on her door.

I should have evaluated her
and put her in a hospital.

Yeah, but you didn't
have that choice, did you?

Yes, I did.

The relationship between you two

had been terminated.

You'd slept with the same man.

Leo, that should not
have stopped me

from going down there
and helping her!

Are you angry with me

about the advice I gave you
last night?

Leo, she was my patient.

You weren't the one treating her

and I should have gone
with my own instincts.

( phone rings )

Hello?

MORGANSTERN:
Dr. Hecker, Larry Morgenstern.

Yeah, I just came from
the pathologist's office.

You know what he said to me?

He took one look at
Ms. Abergray's body and said...

"Jeez, Larry, you must be blind.

"This girl's got a hell
of a fracture

"at the base of her skull.

Rope didn't do this."

So, what do you know, Ann?

She was murdered.

Think you can come down to
the station house tomorrow,

pay us a visit?

( phones ring, chattering )

Did she have any enemies
that you know of?

No.

Kinky sex?

The question of kinky sex.

Did she ever play with any ropes
or anything with her lover?

Lieutenant, I'm not gonna
feel comfortable

answering any
of these questions.

Well, shit, I don't get it.

How can you be so protective

of your patient's
confidentiality

when the poor girl is dead?

( whispers )
Do you know who she dated?

Look, if you feel uncomfortable
talking to me about this,

why don't you just give me
your session notes.

How do you know
about my session notes?

Working-class stiff
that I am?

Before I was a cop.

I went to City College
as a psych major.

I can't give you my notes.

I bet I could subpoena them.

I don't think so.

I can't give you any more
than I already have.

Okay.

I guess you can go.

Doctor.

You're very pretty for a shrink.

Wait a minute.

I'll walk you out.

BILLY:
You've been very cooperative.

If we need any more info,
we'll be in touch.

Okay.

MORGANSTERN:
Oh, hey, Billy-O.

Doc, I want you to meet
my partner, Billy O'Meara.

Billy, this is Dr. Hecker.
Pleased, I'm sure.

And this is, uh, Doug.

McDowell.

MORGANSTERN:
Right.

Dr. Hecker was
Eve's psychiatrist, Doug.

Doug here dated Eve
several times.

Maybe you heard about him
in one of your sessions.

Well, unless Billy-O's got
any more questions for you,

you can go.

No, fine. Thank you.
Okay. Thanks.

Nice meeting you.

Excuse me!
Doug, Ann.

I know the two of you
had a relationship.

( suspense theme building )

I talked to a bunch of people

who saw the fireworks
in the lobby the other night.

Call us if you have any
additional information, okay?

DOUG: Taxi!
Why did we do that?

I don't know. We certainly
don't have anything to hide.

She told me a story
involving you,

sexual games with a rope.

Is that why they asked me
my whereabouts

on the night of the murder?

I didn't tell them.
I'm asking you.

Why don't you just ask me
if I killed her.

I thought I was
the gentlest man you ever met.

( suspenseful theme playing )

( door bell rings )

( door opens, shuts )

Good morning, doctor.

I've come for my weekly session.

Why do you have such hostility
toward psychiatry?

My mother.

Of course.

Truly. She always wanted me
to be a shrink.

She still introduces me
as her son, the psychiatrist.

The day she learned
I became a cop,

she almost killed herself.

She thinks it's low,

working-class, un-Jewish.

The cruel truth, doc?

I don't think my mother
loves me anymore.

You're supposed to ask me
how I feel about that.

How do you feel about it?

Here's how I feel,

fuck her.

Got a wife now,
I don't need a mother.

So.

F.D. McDowell.

Boy, his alibi sure does suck.

He said he went flying
in his jet plane,

wanted to be alone and think.

No flight plan, though.
Nobody saw him take off.

What could possibly
have been his motive?

Eve threatened to kill him
in the lobby there.

Or maybe it was just
a question of kinky sex.

Or maybe he did it
to protect you.

From what?

Well, I know that Eve lifted
a bunch of your tapes

with your session notes on them.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Doctor,

the intimacies

of the therapeutic process
getting out,

that could really fuck up
a career, couldn't it?

I got them, by the way.
Your tapes.

Found them in a hatbox
in the closet.

Yeah.
Those tapes are my property.

I'd like them back.

No.

Material evidence
in a murder investigation.

Look, I know they're important to you.

Maybe we could hammer
something out.

Maybe you come down
to the station around 3,

we could talk about it then.

Look, I'm getting tired
of your games.

I know.

But I got your tapes.

Is 3 a good time for you?

It's good work, doc.
Complete, detailed.

It's a damn good listen.

Better than
a Jackie Collins novel.

The part where she said that, uh

he wanted to tie her wrists
to the pipes

so he could nail her
from behind,

I got an erection.

I'm really happy for you.

Can I have the rest
of my tapes now?

This is a promotional mailer
from Eve Abergray's gallery.

A reproduction of a work
called Olivia's Travels I.

I'm sure you'd be familiar
with the artist's hand.

( suspenseful theme playing )

Not your usual neurotic
housewife, is he?

You know what I think?

I think that John Boy
is the other party

in Eve's story about
the rope and the chair.

I think they dated.

I think they horsed around
with that mondo-bondo shit

and then I think at some point
John lost it.

He lost it and he hit her
in the back of the head

with a blunt object,

then he hung her up
and he got off on it.

Now, John's tapes weren't
amongst the ones

that Eve lifted.

I want a copy.

You know I can't do that.

How much of this animal's
history do you even know?

I'm his psychiatrist,
lieutenant.

What do you think?

I think you don't know shit.

Now, I want you to sit here.

and watch one
of my therapy sessions.

You might learn something.

( thud )

MORGANSTERN:
How does it feel? Eh, Johnny?

Eh, John Boy?

How's it feel?
How does what feel?

Oh, I don't know.

Going from an 8 by 10 cell
at Greenhaven

to becoming the darling
of the New York art world

in two short years.

Feels like I wanna talk
to my attorney.

That's what
it fucking feels like.

Sit down.

You wanna talk to your attorney?

Can I get a cigarette?
Cindy Ballard... Pay attention!

Cindy Ballard didn't have
an attorney the night

you picked her up and took her

to that railroad shack
in Nyack, did she?

I wasn't charged with that.
No shit.

She was too scared
to testify against you,

you little cocksucker.

Cindy Ballard, after the fact.

( suspenseful theme playing )

Any of your little art groupies

ever ask you to tie them up,
John?

Who the fuck are you talking
to back there, man?

Come on, you know
you'd like that.

You don't even have
to touch yourself, do you?

Just the sight of them
struggling,

spontaneous emission right in
your fucking blue jeans.

Nancy Goldberg, after the fact.

Psychotherapy helping you
overcome

any of these dark impulses,
John Boy?

Who the fuck are you talking
to back there?

You tied her hands so tight
behind her back

she almost lost one of them.

What was your instrument
of fun with her?

What did you torture her with,
cigarettes?

You used a whole pack on her,
didn't you?

I wasn't charged with that.

Karen McNarry, after the fact.

It's too bad that you didn't
have therapy before you met her.

Isn't it, John?

You had a lot of inspiration with her, didn't you?
Oh, yeah.

You had the inspiration to use

these fucking things on her,
didn't you? Huh?

I wonder if she's
in therapy now.

What do you think?

You think she's seeing
a plastic surgeon?

I wasn't charged
with that crime.

You see these?
You see these?

He used these on
a woman's breasts.

Breasts that are supposed
to nurture an infant.

Who the fuck are you talking
to back there?

Please. Beneath the bullshit,
I am an earnest man.

I think this asshole has
finally killed somebody

and I want your help in
confirming it.

Get this animal out of here!

This asshole is way outside
the purview of his authority.

He's violating
every law there is.

Well, he thinks he is the law.

Well, there's a whole
criminal justice system

that wouldn't agree with him.

I'm gonna call Arnie Levin.
Leo, don't.

I think it's over, anyway.

Why, what do you...?
You think that this, uh...

This artist of yours, you
think he really killed her?

If you had asked me
this morning,

I would've said absolutely not.

But I was only aware of
one incident.

Apparently, there were others.

A lot of them.

I'm feeling pretty gullible
right now.

I feel really stupid.

Oh, come on.
A bright psychopath can fool anybody.

I just got off the phone
with Chris at Burkdale.

He told me that Paul checked
himself in last week.

SARAH:
Aside from the alcohol,

he'd been self-medicating
with Ritalin

and amphetamines
for the last few months.

I miss Doug.

Ann.

Sarah, why do you feel
so strongly about him?

Hasn't his behavior
been a little strange?

Don't you think?

Well, what was all that
skulking around your building

when you first met,
what was that about?

I don't know.

Hey.

I need to ask you something.

( melodic theme playing )

I need to ask you
what you were doing

in my building
those times we met

in the elevator.

( scoffs )

I was at the Armolyn
Corporation on the 22nd floor.

I fly their executives.

Eve told me you had lunch
with her every Wednesday

at Tavern on the Green.

You know what?

I'm not gonna answer
any more of this crap.

I shouldn't have to.

Look, I'm sorry.

You're right.

I guess in your world

everybody has some deep,
dark, hidden side.

I hate to disappoint you, Ann,

I just don't have one.

( door opens )

( dog barking in distance )

( lock clicks )

( turns on water )

( musical sting )

( dramatic theme playing )

Now, why you helping him
frame me?

I'm not.

I don't believe you.

I'm not.

No, no. Don't. Don't. Don't.

( sobbing )

No.

Okay. Shh, shh.

( crying )

Okay, I just want you
to imagine that,

That you're this little girl
on another planet.

And you were born there
and that's all you know.

And nobody makes love there
because

there's a law against
the love act.

But it's okay with you
because you're just a kid.

But then one day
pubic hair starts to grow

and you got new instincts.

And you wanna go against
the law and you wanna fuck.

Could you stay inside the laws
of this planet, Dr. Hecker?

Could you stay inside of them

for every minute

of every hour of every day
until the day you die?

No.

Well, nature played
a real shit trick on me.

I got these instincts inside
of me that are real different

than the usual ones
on this planet.

When I see a pretty woman.

I don't wanna fuck.

This is...

I wanna hear the sounds
that she makes

when she's in her pain.

( sobbing )

( dramatic theme playing )

Don't you feel the heat?

Do you feel it?
Yes. Yes.

Yes. Yes.

( gasps )

All right, show and tell.

Another paint job.

Olivia's Travels II.

I've never showed this
to anybody before.

See, we were winning
the fucking war.

You were teaching me to put
the poison inside of there

instead of outside
on the streets.

I didn't kill her.

I just went to lunch with her
a few times

and she talked me into doing
a show in her gallery.

And, okay,
I fantasized about her,

but that's as far as I went.

Because if I really killed her.

I don't think I'd be able
to leave you here tonight.

( uprising dramatic
theme playing )

( gasp )

John! John!

John.

Come back inside.
Call him on the phone.

Call him on the phone
and get him over here now.

Just call Morgenstern.
Come on, do it.

Do it now, all right?

Get him on the phone
and get him over here.

( horn honking )

( sirens wailing )

I was with this street artist

on the night that she
was killed.

This guy named Karsch and...

And he came to my place

to see some stupid shit
I was working on.

And we just stayed till dawn,

just talking and drinking,
you know?

Has Morgenstern talked
to this Karsch?

He can't find him.

Because he's a crackhead,
that's why.

Okay, Johnny, come on in.

We'll talk to Morgenstern
when he gets here.

We'll tell him about Karsch.
We'll find Karsch.

Could you get me a blanket
or something? I'm cold.

( indistinct chattering )

OFFICER:
Hey, lieutenant.

Hey, how you doing?

( sirens wailing )

Hey, guys.

Hey, Joe.

Just be careful with him.

Come on.
He wants to talk to me.

Hello, John Boy.

I hope you don't think

this little crow's act
you're doing here

is gonna make me think
you're innocent.

Go ahead.
Tell him what you think.

Tell him that you don't think
I killed her.

Go ahead, doc.
This is an open forum.

He didn't do it. He was with
somebody named Karsch...

Yeah.
Did you check it?

What, Frank Karsch?

The famous phantom Frank Karsch?

MORGANSTERN:
What even makes you think
there is a Frank Karsch?

Look, I've had enough
of this bullshit.

Get in here.
I wanna go home.

You know I didn't do it,
motherfucker.

You know, I did a nasty, naughty
thing tonight, John Boy.

I let myself into your loft.

I took a look at some of your
artwork, you sick fuck.

Eve in Bondo.

You know, you really should've
gotten rid of this.

Come on,
it's just a drawing, man.

What the fuck
does that mean, huh?

You know, you got
her tits right.

You know why you got
her tits right?

Because you saw them on the
night that you killed her,

you little cocksucker!

ANN: That's enough!
I just drew a lot of shit

from my imagination,
motherfucker.

MORGANSTERN: You little bastard!
Don't! Sit down!

I draw shit from my imagination.

You're trying to put me away
for a lot of shit I didn't do!

I wanna do it.

( dramatic theme playing )

John.
I wanna do it.

ANN:
John, don't.

We'll find Karsch.
I'll help you find him.

John, listen to me!

Come inside.

Come in.

( suspenseful theme playing )

Okay.

ANN:
No!

Out of the way!

Grab my wrist.

Grab my wrist, goddamn it.
Do it.

Come on, do it! Grab it.
I'm not gonna drop you.

Get some help in there, come on!

Come on!

( laughs )

( screams in distance )

( thud )

( screams, car alarm honking )

( suspenseful theme playing )

( indistinct chatter
over police radio )

I think Morgenstern may have
dropped him on purpose.

Well, maybe he did,
maybe he didn't.

We don't really know that.

You know.

I can remember another night
just like this.

I got called to one of the
dorms because a student.

had just received word
that her father had died.

( melodic theme playing )

When I got there.

I saw this young woman
sitting alone in a dark room.

The only light coming from
a candle by the window.

She literally couldn't move,

couldn't speak.

I'm just concerned that.

all these things
that happened tonight are.

maybe, you know.

taking you back
to all kinds of things.

I'm okay.

Why don't you spend the night
in the guest room.

Can't sleep?

Took some Ativan.
It's not helping.

You know, he was never right.

after my mother died.

One night during a spring break

I found him sitting
in the rec room,

alone.

In the dark.

"Are you okay, Dad?"

He said he was fine.

Then he asked me about
medical school and,

was I lonely living
so far away from home.

And I knew there was
something wrong,

but I went back to school.

And a week later,
my sister Renee called and,

And said that
he'd gathered everybody

around him in the kitchen

and talked to them for a while.

And then shot himself
in the head.

He was my best friend.

He just left.

And I miss him.

I miss him so much.

But I'm real pissed off.

Because life is hard enough
without what he did to me.

You know, in all the time
we've worked together.

that's the first time
I've heard you

express anger at your father.

( melodic theme playing )

I'm tired.

I'm gonna sleep now.

( doorbell rings )

( ringing continues )

I heard what happened.
Are you all right?

Yeah.

The man who fell, did he have
something to do with Eve?

Morgenstern thinks
he killed her.

Then it's over.

Yeah.

Thank God.
It's been a nightmare.

Yeah.

I'm heading for Iowa tonight,

visit my mother for the weekend.

You wanna go flying?

( melodic theme playing )

Hi, Mom.
Hi.

Come meet my mom.

Dr. Ann Hecker.

Welcome.
Hi, Mrs. McDowell.
How are you?

Hi, dear.

It's a pleasure
to meet you. Honey.

Either of you want another cup?

No, thank you, Lorraine.

I think Ann's
a little tired, Mom.

It's an hour later,
New York time.

LORRAINE:
Of course.

Let me show you your rooms.

Two of them.

She's a little
old-fashioned.

She's great.

( knock at door )

( melodic theme playing )

McDowell's special
insomnia cure.

To make sure you get some rest.

Thank you.

If you're lonely,
I'm right down the hall.

So's your mother.

Good night.

ANN:
It's a really good feeling

when a patient
begins to make progress.

As I grow older,

I realize how many people
are living quietly in pain.

Sleep good?

Yeah.

I wanna take Ann
on a little tour of Keokuk.

Well, that's fine.
I gotta check the DME in the plane anyway.

When you figure you'll be back?

Twelve or so.

I'll meet you back here.

And that's our courthouse
and jail.

And over there is the church

Doug went to when
he was growing up.

Baptized there
and went to school there.

Married there.

All of it.

Has his ex-wife
ever remarried?

Jenny's dead.

Oh.

When did she die?

Christmas morning, 1987.

She hung herself.

( ominous theme playing )

DOUG:
Jenny was young and delicate.

High-strung.
I was a different guy back then.

I was in the service
flying F-16s,

I was away from home a lot.

Just having a great time.

Also having an affair.

Jenny found out,
she just freaked.

She attacked me physically
a couple times.

One time she came at me
with a knife.

I took it away from her.

In the process, I hit her.

After that she just sank
into this deep, dark funk.

Holidays came, it got worse.

I came home from a flight
one Christmas morning.

there she was.

Why didn't you tell me about it?

The coincidence of two women
being found dead.

Both by hanging.

It's about all Morgenstern
would have needed.

Why didn't you tell me?

Your trust quotient wasn't very
high back then, you remember?

( crow cawing )

Did you tell Eve about Jenny?

I believe him.

You choose to believe him.

Two women he's with,

both found dead
by the same means.

That's just coincidence?

No, it's not coincidence.

He told Eve
about his wife's suicide.

I-I think that's how
her whole fascination

with the ropes
and the bondage stuff began.

She fantasized about it
at first,

then she met John Castillo

and it became real.

Leo.

She was my patient.
I know how her mind worked.

This makes sense,
it really does.

Don't you think you ought to
tell Morgenstern about this?

No, I don't.
Why are you exposing yourself

to danger like this?
This is dangerous.

( sighs )

Leo.

I'm in love with him.

I have to believe him.

( door opens )

( phone dials )

DOUG'S VOICE:
This is McDowell Aviation.

Please leave a message
after the beep.

( beep )

Hi.

It's me.

If you're flying,
call me when you get in.

I'm at the office.
I'll be home in a little while.

Bye.

( phone rings )

Hi.

MORGANSTERN:
We've missed our weekly session.

I need to see you.

Why?

I'm in extremis.
I need your help.

Where are you?

( soft rock music playing )

Welcome to my office.

Come in.

You want a drink?

No, thank you.

You know, I lied to you.

I've never been married.

I don't have a wife.

Is that what you called me
down here for?

John Boy's alibi came through.

Frank Karsch walked into
my office Friday night.

So, what do you know?

The little cocksucker
didn't do it after all.

I'm a good cop.

A good man.

You think if I'd known
he was innocent,

I could've held on
a little longer?

Well, I have to live with that.

I have to live with that.

Since you're a professional

in the field of mental health,

perhaps you could suggest
how I should deal with it.

Maybe I should get therapy?

What is your relationship
with Leo and Sarah Green?

Are you friends?

Yes.

One of them ever treat you
as a patient?

Yes, Leo did.
Why?

Doesn't matter.

You know, I been,

I been talking to cops all day.

Cops in Iowa.

Did you know your boyfriend

beat up his wife back there?

Yeah. You know, they questioned
him about her suicide.

He probably killed her, yeah.

Like he probably fucking
killed Eve,

like he would've killed you,

you stupid little shit.
He did not!

Go ahead.
Go get yourself killed.

Ann.

You told him, didn't you?

You went to Morgenstern
and you told him.

Arnold Levin told me

that if Doug turns out
to be guilty,

you would become an accomplice

and you'd probably
be prosecuted.

I called Morgenstern
as your proxy.

He came here and I told him
what you found out in Iowa.

You betrayed me.

Jesus Christ, Ann!
He did this to protect you.

I trusted you, Leo.

How dare you.

How dare you talk
about trust and betrayal!

You owe Leo your life!

ANN:
Good night, Sarah.

( phone rings )

ANN'S VOICE:
Hi, it's Ann.

Please leave a message.
Thanks.

DOUG:
It's Doug.

Hi.

It's me.
Are you okay?

Morgenstern questioned me for
about three hours in his car.

I was handcuffed.

He smacked me around
a little bit.

Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm okay.

Where are you?

I just set down in Harrisburg.

I just needed to be alone
a minute, clear my head.

You told him about Jenny,
didn't you?

No, I didn't.
I told Leo.

He took it upon himself
to call Morgenstern...

You aren't lying to me now,
are you?

No, I am not.

Doug, please, just come home.

Will you meet me at Teterboro?

Okay.

All right.

If you leave there now you
ought to get to the airport

about the same time I do.

Okay.

See you soon.

( boys whooping )

PAUL:
Ann? Hi.

Paul, I can't. I can't.
Listen, listen.

I wanted to... Ann?

Just for a sec.
Not now.

Ann. Would you open the door?
Paul.

Ann, why won't you talk to me?
Stop it!

What the hell is the matter
with you?

Ann? What the hell...?!

( suspenseful theme playing )

ANN:
Doug?

Doug?

Doug?

( dramatic theme playing )

He was like that
when I walked in.

DOUG:
Ann!

Oh, what the fuck?

Come here!

Goddamn it,
what is wrong with you?

( grunts )

( tires screech )

( airplane engine revs )

No, she's fine.

We all are.

Just a nice, relaxing time.

Yeah, surprisingly
gorgeous here.

Okay, Arnie, I'll...

Yeah, well, let me ask Sarah.
If we're free, we'd love to.

That would be great.

Okay, bye-bye.

That was Arnie Levin.

He wants us to have dinner with
his new lady friend Tuesday.

Please.

Where's Ann?
She's in there.

I just talked to Arnie Levin.

He says McDowell
is off the critical list

and he'll probably be indicted
by the end of the month.

Isn't there some Vivaldi
around here?

Yeah, it's in that cabinet over there.
On the left-hand side.

I'm hungry.

( suspenseful theme playing )

SARAH: Lunch is ready.
I'm coming.

SARAH: Did you get the bread?
LEO: Yeah.

( classical music playing )

( humming )

( knocking )

LEO: You decent?
I'm in the tub.

Sarah and I are going
into town to get some tapes.

You got any suggestions?

Um, how about
Lawrence of Arabia?

Good, good.
And get some popcorn.

All right, we'll get
you popcorn. See you soon.

( seagulls cawing in distance )

( suspenseful theme playing )

LEO'S VOICE:
She talked about her home in Ohio today,

about her early youth and her
relationship with her father.

She's so innocent, really.

And yet she's as bright
as a whip.

She really laughed
for the first time today.

Then she kind of looked
embarrassed,

as though therapy had to be,

a heavy, laborious process.

I set her straight on that one.

The whole session
was lively today.

She's beginning to understand
the way it all works.

She's contributing.

I'm facing a kind of a crisis.

I'm beginning to feel
real affection toward her.

I gotta watch it here.

I may be getting a bit
too emotionally involved.

She walked into
my office today and she was.

She was just radiant.

The floor just dropped out
from under me.

Her eyes.

Her eyes are like,

Like sunlight.

I'm falling in love with her.

End, patient 347, session 204.

I'm completely head over heels.

Nothing I can do.

I don't feel guilt.

I feel nothing but complete,

undiluted love.

Sarah has no idea
what I've gotten myself into.

Ann needs me to protect her.

She doesn't have anyone else.

She never did.

Oh, Ann, Ann, Ann.

You're never out of my thoughts.

In the 25 years Sarah and I
have been together

I've never felt one-tenth
the emotion I feel

for this beautiful young woman.

That idiot medical student
she's been seeing,

she needs his support now.

He's pulling away.

Goddamn him.

I'd like to smash his head in.

Hi, we're back.

I'll be in there in a second.

Ann?
We got Lawrence for you.

Oh, Leo.

You practically finished
the first bottle yourself.

SARAH:
You're not gonna be able to stand up.

You're so quiet tonight.

I'm just a little worried.

My sister Renee called and...

She said Michael left her again.

Oh.

She wanted me to go,

fly to Toledo tomorrow.

I said I couldn't,

but I'm feeling a little
guilty about it.

I suppose if I got a late
flight out of here tonight,

I, I can catch an early
flight out of JFK tomorrow.

Well, I'd be happy to
run you over to the airport,

if you decide to go.

I think maybe I will.

You know,
I didn't intend to kill Eve

when I went over there.

( suspenseful theme playing )

What did you say?

I just went to get
your tapes back.

What in God's name
are you saying?

( gasps )

Sit down.

Sit down.

Please, sit.

So I told her I understood
and I got up to go.

She stopped me as I was leaving

and she started saying,

these really ugly things
about you.

About how you and she had had
a full-blown sexual affair.

When she tried to break
it off, you got even by,

by fucking her man.

Can you...?
Can you imagine that?

And then I looked
for your tapes.

I couldn't find them anywhere.

She had hidden them someplace,

that sick fucking bitch!

I'm sorry.

I'm a little upset.

I'll clean this up.

You know, Morgenstern was...

He was very intelligent.

He was very friendly
when he came over.

He even stayed for coffee.

after I told him

what you found out in Iowa.

He pretended to be interested
in the way

Sarah decorated the apartment,

but his,

his mind was really
on other things.

Finally, he thanked me
and he left.

But he called me again

right after he questioned
your lover.

I think he'd decided that
McDowell was probably innocent.

He asked me a lot of
very strange questions

like what were my personal
feelings toward you

and had I ever met Eve.

I think,
I think he'd sensed that,

I think he'd sensed the depth
of my affection for you.

( exhaling )

So I called him
later that night.

"Lieutenant, I'm over here
at McDowell Aviation.

You gotta come out here
right away."

"Hey, I'm in bed.

Why can't you tell me
over the phone?"

I think he'd been drinking.

"Well, I can't tell you
over the phone.

"You gotta come out here now.

It's urgent."

He came.

( sobbing )

You know that ice pick
with the silver handle?

The one Sarah picked up
on our trip to Aruba?

I had it in a little
brown paper bag.

So he couldn't see it.

But I had it in my hand.

( suspenseful theme playing )

"Hey, lieutenant. Over here."

He walked right up to me.

( no audio )

( grunt )

( suspenseful theme playing )

Why are you crying?

I'm afraid of you right now.

You're afraid of me?

That really hurts.

After everything I've done
for you,

how can you say
you're afraid of me?

That's unacceptable.

That is un-fucking-acceptable!

( whimpering )

All right, let's calm down.

We're both a little upset,
all right?

I'm sorry.

You've gotta understand
something.

For you to,

For you to say
you're afraid of me,

after everything
we've been through,

I mean, you gotta realize that,

I'm liable to interpret that
as a kind of betrayal.

I mean, what do you want
from me?

What do you want? You got me!

You've got me!
What do you want?

You can't just throw me away
like that, goddamn you!

You can't throw me away,
fucking bitch!

( suspenseful theme playing )

( yells )

Help!

Oh!

( screams )

( choking )

Goddamn you, bitch!

Help!

( gasping )

( coughing )

Help!

( gagging )

( light theme playing )

( melodic theme playing )

Congratulations.
How did it feel?

Fine.
"Fine."

You're supposed to be
terrified on your first solo.

No problems?

Not a single one?

Being solo up there
doesn't bother me.

Yeah?

Being solo down here does.

( uplifting theme playing )

( melodic theme playing )
