- IN NEW YORK CITY'S WAR ON CRIME,
THE WORST CRIMINAL OFFENDERS ARE PURSUED
BY THE DETECTIVES OF THE MAJOR CASE SQUAD.
THESE ARE THEIR STORIES.
- THESE ARE TRULY REMARKABLE.
I HAVE THIRD GRADERS WHO CAN DO THIS,
BUT THIS BOY TOMMY IS ONLY FIVE.
- WHAT'S THE BOY LIKE?
- FATHER CAME ON HIS OWN.
WANTED TO SPARE HIM THE DISAPPOINTMENT
IN CASE WE DON'T ACCEPT HIM.
- FATHER'S A DIVORCED HOUSE PAINTER.
- HE DIDN'T BALK AT OUR TUITION.
- BLUE COLLAR PROMOTES OUR IMAGE OF ECONOMIC DIVERSITY.
HAVE HIM BRING IN THE YOUNG ARTIST
SO WE CAN MEET HIM.
[pumping]
- I'M GETTING THE EXAM RIGHT NOW.
YEAH, I'LL GET THE INSURANCE.
RIGHT, DOC?
[air hissing]
- BLOOD PRESSURE'S FINE.
[Velcro rips] - NICE PEOPLE.
MAKING ME CARRY TERM LIFE FOR A MIL.
'CAUSE THEY'RE THINKING I'LL DROP DEAD
IN THE MIDDLE OF THEIR CASE.
AGEISM. I SHOULD SUE.
- WELL, I'M GUESSING YOU'LL OUTLIVE THEM ALL.
- EVER NEED A LAWYER, DOC, COME SEE ME.
- BOTH PARTIES ARE VERY QUALIFIED
AND LOOKING TO BOTTOM FEED.
AND THIS PLACE?
FIRST LOOK IS EVERYTHING.
GOTTA BE SURE THE WORK IS DONE BEFORE THEY SEE IT.
[car alarm chirps]
I'LL TALK TO YOU LATER.
YOO-HOO!
PAINTER!
DID YOU REPAINT THE TRIM?
IT LOOKS WET.
I WISH YOU HADN'T DONE THAT.
WHAT'S ALL THIS PAINT AND THIS DUST?
WHY IS HE SANDING?
THE MASTER BATH! DID YOU FINISH IN THERE?
THIS BATHROOM ISN'T DONE.
HAVE YOU EVEN BEEN IN HERE?
- [screaming]
[muffled cries]
[muffled screams]
- THIS BUILDING. WHAT, IS IT CONDEMNED?
- YOU KIDDING? HIGH-END REAL ESTATE.
- JUST NOT HABITABLE.
- SITTING EMPTY FOR A YEAR, WAITING ON PERMITS.
- THE CITY INSPECTOR WHO FOUND HER--
WE'LL NEED TO SPEAK WITH HIM.
- HE'LL BE AT HOME.
HAD TO BE TENDED TO BY THE PARAMEDICS.
THIS ONE'S ROUGH.
- WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE?
THEY'RE REMOVING THE VICTIM?
- BROOKLYN M.E. SAYS HE WASN'T WAITING ON YOU PEOPLE.
BUT WE GOT PHOTO COVERAGE.
- LET'S GO CHECK THIS OUT.
HILDEGARDE GLAZER, 53.
A REALTOR WITH HANLON WEBB.
WAS SHE THE AGENT FOR THIS BUILDING?
- WE SPOKE TO HER OFFICE, BUT NO CONNECTION,
AS FAR AS WE KNOW.
- MM-HMM.
LOOK AT THIS.
SHE WAS RIGHT HERE.
- YEAH, MULTIPLE STAB WOUNDS.
WE THINK THAT SHE WAS TRANSPORTED IN THAT DROP CLOTH.
- WELL...NO SHORTAGE OF INSECTS, HUH?
ANY THOUGHTS, UH, ON A T.O.D.?
- WE HAVE PUPA CASINGS FOR TWO HATCHES OF FLIES.
AT AMBIENT TEMPERATURE, I'D SAY SHE'S BEEN DEAD
FOR AT LEAST THREE, MAYBE FOUR DAYS.
- UGH, SHE MIGHT HAVE HAD A VISITOR.
THERE'S A LUNCH TRUCK SANDWICH WRAPPER DATED YESTERDAY.
SOMEONE CAME HERE AND ATE?
- THAT'S WHY WE CALLED YOU GUYS.
THERE'S NO QUESTION.
THIS ONE IS SPECIAL.
- YEAH.
VERY...SPECIAL.
- WHAT'S THIS?
"PLEASE STOP."
AND THIS.
- IT'S SOME SORT OF... MINI SNOW ANGEL.
RENDERED IN BLOOD.
- A HORRENDOUS CRIME IN A GENTRIFYING NEIGHBORHOOD.
THE VICTIM, A SUCCESSFUL REALTOR.
PEOPLE ARE UNDERSTANDABLY HYSTERICAL.
- HMM. WE THINK SHE WAS BROUGHT HERE
WHILE SHE WAS STILL ALIVE, KEPT THERE FOR A WHILE,
AND THEN MURDERED.
- ALSO, IT'S LIKELY THE KILLER RETURNED TO THE SCENE
AFTER HER DEATH.
- ALL RIGHT, A SANDWICH BAG.
BUT WHY DID HE BRING HER TO THIS PARTICULAR BASEMENT?
IT HAD TO BE A PLACE THE KILLER KNEW.
AND THIS GRAFFITI-- "PLEASE STOP."
WHAT DO OUR EXPERTS SAY?
- POSSIBLY A, UH, DYSLEXIC,
LEFT-HANDED ADULT.
OR, EVEN MORE LIKELY--
- MORE LIKELY WHAT?
- A FOUR TO SEVEN-YEAR-OLD CHILD.
- NAH.
NO ON THAT. THEY GOTTA BE WRONG.
- SOME TRAUMA TO HER FACE.
LIPS CUT.
A CROWN FROM A FRONT INCISOR WAS PUSHED OFF
THE IMPLANT POST FROM BEHIND.
- SO IN THE STRUGGLE TO SUBDUE HER,
HE WOULD HAVE PROBABLY PUSHED SOMETHING INTO HER MOUTH?
- MM-HMM.
NOW, THE KILLING ITSELF WAS MORE ELEGANT.
HE KNEW ANATOMY.
HE MAYBE EVEN HAD EXPERIENCE DISSECTING A BODY.
- SO MAYBE A DOCTOR OR MORTICIAN.
- OR HE'S CARVED UP OTHERS AND GOTTEN EXPERIENCED.
- MM-HMM. NOW, THIS INCISION...
JUST BELOW HER LEFT ARMPIT,
GOES THROUGH THE FLOATING RIBS
AND DIRECTLY INTO THE LEFT VENTRICLE.
IT WAS DONE ACCURATELY
AND CAUSED INTENSE INTERNAL BLEEDING.
- AND THERE'S NO TEARING AROUND THE WOUND,
SO IT DOESN'T APPEAR THAT SHE STRUGGLED.
- WELL, SHE MIGHT HAVE BEEN IMMOBILE.
THE TOX SCREEN REVEALED A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF VERSED.
- WHICH HAS TO BE INJECTED.
- NOW, THESE WOUNDS...
ON HER LOWER ABDOMEN WERE ALL POSTMORTEM.
- SO HE KNOWS ANATOMY.
THEN WHY, WHY DOES HE...
COME BACK AND MAKE THOSE POSTMORTEM WOUNDS?
- WELL, FROM A HEART PUNCTURE,
IT'S RIGHT WHERE THE BLOOD WOULD POOL.
- SO HE DIPS HIS FINGERS INTO THE BLOOD
FOR HIS ARTWORK.
[cell phone ringing]
NICHOLS.
OUR VICTIM'S HUSBAND IS HERE.
- OHH.
I NEVER THOUGHT THIS.
OHH.
- DID SHE MENTION ANY PROBLEMS THAT SHE'D HAD LATELY?
- PROBLEMS?
- PEOPLE SHE WASN'T GETTING ALONG WITH.
COWORKER OR A NEIGHBOR.
- WHOEVER DID THAT COULDN'T BE ANYONE THAT WE KNEW.
- SHE'S BEEN MISSING FOUR DAYS,
BUT YOU NEVER CONTACTED THE POLICE.
- WE'RE LIVING SEPARATELY.
I WASN'T AWARE.
- DIVORCED.
- BUT THERE WERE NO HARD FEELINGS.
19 YEARS OF MARRIAGE.
SOMETIMES, LIFE JUST CHANGES PEOPLE.
- WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SPOKE WITH HER?
- I TRIED TO CALL HER YESTERDAY.
A NOTICE CAME ABOUT HER CAR.
HER JAGUAR WAS IMPOUNDED FOR PARKING AND TOWED.
HILDY LOVES THAT CAR.
I THOUGHT, "HOW COULD SHE LET IT BE TOWED
FROM SOME ADDRESS IN PARK SLOPE?"
- SHE CAME A LOT,
GETTING THE PLACE READY FOR THE NEW BUYER.
- ANY SECURITY CAMERAS OUT IN THAT HALLWAY?
- UH, JUST THE FRONT AND BACK ENTRANCE,
PLUS THE ELEVATOR, SIR.
YOU KNOW, THE PEOPLE IN THIS BUILDING,
THEY VALUE THEIR PRIVACY.
MM, HO, HEY! HANG ON RIGHT THERE.
- DUST.
- THERE'S EVEN THE OUTLINE
OF WHAT I'M GUESSING IS THE DROP CLOTH.
- HEY, THE NEW OWNER WILL GET A CLEANUP
BEFORE THEY MOVE IN, HUH?
- YEAH, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO DELAY THAT.
- DELAY IT?
- WE THINK THIS IS A CRIME SCENE.
- THESE TWO SCRAPE MARKS,
ONE NARROW AND ONE WIDE.
THE NARROW ONE COULD BE A HIGH-HEELED SHOE.
AND THIS OTHER ONE...
- IF THE OTHER SHOE CAME OFF,
HER HEEL WOULD LEAVE THAT MARK.
- YEAH.
SO HE DRAGS HER INTO HERE...
ONTO THE DROP CLOTH.
WHICH WAS RIGHT...THERE.
DETECTIVES, WE FOUND SOMETHING IN THE BATHROOM.
YOU SHOULD TAKE A LOOK.
- OKAY, NINA.
- MM-HMM.
- CROWN.
IT'S BROKEN FROM AN IMPLANT POST.
SO THIS IS WHERE SHE STRUGGLED.
- PROCESS THAT SMEAR.
I'M GUESSING IT WILL MATCH HER PRINTS.
- SO PEOPLE COME AND GO,
BUT NOBODY SHOWS I.D.?
- LOOK, EVERY WORKER HAS TO BE APPROVED BY OUR BOARD
BEFORE THEY DO ANY WORK IN THIS BUILDING.
- SOMEONE WAS HERE ON THE DAY SHE WAS KILLED.
HOW DID THEY GET IN UNNOTICED?
- YEAH, THERE WAS A PAINTER'S VAN OVER THERE.
I SAW THAT.
- BUT YOU NEVER SAW THE DRIVER?
- I CARRIED GROCERIES TO 11B FOR MRS. MORETTI.
I DIDN'T SEE HIM COME IN.
BUT HE'LL BE ON THE FOYER CAMERA.
AND I REMEMBER THE VAN WAS WHITE.
- LET'S SEE THAT CAMERA, PLEASE.
- [exhales]
[whimpers]
HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD HIM?
THE LAST THING WE NEED IS TROUBLE FROM THE DOCTOR.
- THERE HE IS WITH THE PAINTING CART
AND THIS DROP CLOTH.
- IT'S ALL WE HAVE.
THE ELEVATOR CAMERA'S OUT OF SERVICE.
- THIS MIGHT STRIKE TERROR IN THE TENANTS OF THE BUILDING,
BUT WHAT DOES IT GIVE US?
- WELL, THIS NEXT SHOT MAKES IT CLEAR
THAT HE'S OUR GUY-- LOOK AT THAT.
- TRANSPORTING OUR VICTIM?
- AND SOON COMING UP IN THIS SERIES OF SHOTS
IS HIM LEAVING FOR THE LAST TIME WITH THE CART.
- HE'S CAMERA SAVVY.
HIS CAP WAS ALWAYS PULLED DOWN SO WE CAN'T SEE HIS FACE.
- WHAT ABOUT LATENT PRINTS ON THE DOORS,
ELEVATOR CALL BUTTONS, BRASS TRIM?
- IT'S A FIRST-RATE BUILDING.
BRASS AND TRIM ARE POLISHED EVERY SECOND DAY.
- ALL RIGHT, ROGER SAYS THERE'S EVIDENCE
OF MEDICAL EXPERTISE.
- NOT MUCH HERE.
SHE HAD FACIAL SURGERY FOUR YEARS AGO.
- WE HAVE A COPY OF HER DAY RUNNER.
I DON'T SEE A DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT.
BUT HERE'S SOMETHING.
"SEND CHECK, $10,000,
TO EMPIRE ALLIED LIFE TERM INSURANCE."
MAKES IT A PRETTY BIG POLICY. MAYBE A MILLION.
- COULD BE PART OF HER DIVORCE SETTLEMENT.
MY EX AND I TOOK OUT POLICIES
TO COVER THE COST OF RAISING OUR DAUGHTER.
AND WE WERE REQUIRED TO TAKE A MEDICAL EXAM.
- YEAH, ON HER WORK CALENDAR,
TWO DAYS BEFORE SHE WAS KILLED,
2:45 P.M., INSURANCE EXAM IN OFFICE.
- SO DR. CURTIS, YOU WENT TO HER OFFICE?
- IT'S COURTESY FOR POLICIES OF $1 MILLION OR OVER.
- AND SHE WAS IN GOOD HEALTH.
- I'M SORRY. CONFIDENTIALITY LAWS.
- CONFIDENTIALITY COULD APPLY TO A SUSPECT,
NOT A HOMICIDE VICTIM.
- YES, SHE WAS IN GOOD HEALTH.
THE EXAM WAS VERY ROUTINE.
- YOU STUDIED IN GRENADA.
NICE WEATHER.
- I DIDN'T ATTEND MED SCHOOL TO ENJOY THE WEATHER.
- THEN WHY GRENADA?
- MY EDUCATION WAS PAID FOR
OUT OF MY AUNT'S SMALL PENSION.
DO I NEED TO SAY MORE?
- PLUS INTERNSHIP AND RESIDENCY.
I DON'T KNOW HOW ANYBODY DOES IT THESE DAYS.
HEY, A, UH, AN INSURANCE EXAM...
WHAT DOES THAT ENTAIL, EXACTLY?
- OUR CHECK LIST COVERS 23 POINTS,
TAKES ROUGHLY 30 MINUTES, BARRING INTERRUPTIONS.
- WERE THERE ANY INTERRUPTIONS WITH MRS. GLAZER?
- SHE WAS ON HER PHONE MUCH OF THE TIME.
- WHO WAS SHE TALKING TO?
- I NEVER EAVESDROP.
- HOW MANY PATIENTS DO YOU SEE A DAY, DR. CURTIS?
- 25 OR 30.
IN FACT, I HAVE THREE WAITING RIGHT NOW.
ARE ALMOST FINISHED?
- YEAH.
SAY, ARE YOU A, UH,
ARE YOU A MARRIED MAN, DR. CURTIS?
- NO. NO WIVES OR CHILDREN.
- WELL, YOU'VE BEEN, UH, ABSOLUTELY HELPFUL.
- MRS. HANSEN. PLEASE.
SORRY FOR THE DELAY.
- SO GRENADA MEDICAL SCHOOL?
WOW, THAT REALLY GOT YOU GOING, DIDN'T IT?
- WELL, IT'S NOT A STERLING MEDICAL CREDENTIAL.
I'M SURE IT WAS MORE ABOUT
THE LOW ADMITTANCE QUALIFICATIONS
THAN AUNTIE'S PENSION.
- ALL RIGHT, NO KIDS,
HE LIVES ALONE IN JAMAICA, QUEENS.
HEY, WAS IT JUST ME,
OR WAS THERE SOMETHING, LIKE, REALLY CREEPY ABOUT THAT GUY?
- CHOP-UP-A-WOMAN CREEPY?
- YEAH, RIGHT.
SO YOU AND HILDY WERE ON THE PHONE TOGETHER
FOR SOME 26 MINUTES.
SOMEBODY HAD A LOT TO SAY, HUH?
- YEAH.
WHILE WE WERE TALKING, SHE KEPT PUSHING THE DOCTOR
TO FINISH.
- DID SHE MENTION AT ALL THAT APARTMENT
THAT WAS GETTING A REMODEL, THE ONE IN PARK SLOPE?
- SURE...THE SUBS WERE DRIVING HER CRAZY.
SHE...TALKED ABOUT GOING THERE.
- DID SHE TALK ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE?
- SHE TALKED ABOUT HER DAUGHTER...
AND HER GRANDCHILD IN ITALY.
THE WAY THE ITALIANS CODDLE THEIR CHILDREN.
HILDY WAS VERY CONCERNED.
- AH, CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT?
- WELL, HILDY WAS A BELIEVER IN DISCIPLINE.
NO CODDLING FOR HER.
LOOK, I'M REALLY SORRY,
BUT I HAVE A SHOWING.
AND...I KNOW THAT HILDY
WOULD NOT HAVE WANTED ME TO MISS A SALE.
- THANK YOU. - THANK YOU.
- HMM.
BELIEVER IN DISCIPLINE?
- YEAH.
SO DR. CURTIS WAS HERE.
MAYBE HE HAS A-- A CUFF ON HER ARM.
- YEAH, BUT HE DIDN'T ACT OUT RIGHT HERE.
I THINK SHE TRIGGERED SOMETHING VERY DEEP IN HIM.
HE LEAVES. HE STARTS THINKING ABOUT IT.
- AND THEN IMPERSONATES A HOUSE PAINTER?
SEEMS VERY OUT THERE.
- AND WHY THIS PARTICULAR REALTOR?
IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.
- ACCORDING TO THE DMV,
DR. CURTIS DOES NOT OWN A WHITE VAN
OR ANY VEHICLE.
BUT THIS VALIDATES YOUR THEORY.
AT THAT SAME ADDRESS.
- HMM.
A WHITE '97 FORD,
REGISTERED TO ANDY QUINN.
THAT'S A, UH...
THAT'S A NICE JOB.
[sirens]
[tires screech]
- DR. CURTIS, MR. QUINN,
WE'RE HERE WITH A WARRANT TO SEARCH THIS PROPERTY.
GO.
- NOTHIN' IN HERE.
VERY TIDY.
- NOT SO TIDY IN HERE.
- OHH.
HERE'S...
HERE'S OUR PAINTER.
ANDY QUINN. - MM-HMM.
- THERE'S A JUVENILE LIVING UPSTAIRS.
- GREAT.
- MY NEPHEW LOVES THESE.
- HOW OLD?
- FIVE.
"TOMMY."
OUR CHILD ARTIST.
RIFFING ON HIS FAVORITE THEME.
- OUR DOCTOR AND HIS MOTHER.
- YEAH, OR MAYBE THIS IS THE AUNT
THAT PAID HIS WAY THROUGH MED SCHOOL.
- SO DR. CURTIS IS OUR KILLER,
ANDY QUINN'S OUR PAINTER.
AND THE CHILD...
HOW ARE THEY SOMEHOW CONNECTED?
ARE WE SAYING THAT THREE DIFFERENT PEOPLE
ACTUALLY LIVE HERE?
- OR ONE PERSON...
WHO THINKS HE'S THREE DIFFERENT PEOPLE.
- [soft voice] ...ABOUT HIM IN THE LONG RUN.
UM, HE DOES MANY THINGS WELL.
HE'S VERY GOOD AT ORGANIZING HIS THINGS,
AND HE RESPONDS WELL TO INSTRUCTIONS MOST OF THE TIME.
CAN YOU--
OH, JUST WAIT ONE MINUTE, WOULD YOU?
THANK YOU.
MR. QUINN. I WAS TRYING TO REACH YOU.
WE'RE SO EXCITED ABOUT ENROLLING YOUR SON
AT OUR SCHOOL.
- YEAH, ACTUALLY, I'VE DECIDED AGAINST IT.
- REALLY?
- I JUST DON'T THINK HE'S READY.
I WANT HIS PAINTINGS.
- LOOK, LET'S TALK ABOUT IT.
I'M, UM, I'M JUST WRAPPING UP A CONFERENCE.
CAN YOU GIVE ME FIVE MINUTES?
- OKAY.
- THANKS.
OKAY, UM, AS I WAS SAYING,
UH, THE NICEST THING FOR ANY CHILD
IS NOT NECESSARILY BEING NICE.
IT'S FIRMNESS.
[echoing] NEGATIVE REINFORCEMENT
WHEN YOUR BOY ACTS INAPPROPRIATELY.
HE'LL TRY TO MANIPULATE YOU.
EVERY INCH HE GETS IS A VICTORY FOR HIM.
SET BOUNDARIES!
ENFORCE THEM.
IN AN OLD-FASHIONED WORD...
DISCIPLINE!
[normal voice] MAKE SENSE?
THANKS FOR COMING IN.
OKAY.
SO, MR. QUINN...
I'M GOING TO MAKE THE CASE
FOR HAVING YOUR SON AT OUR SCHOOL.
- YOU SHOULD ADDRESS ME AS DOCTOR.
- CHILDREN'S TOYS, ROOMS WITH DIFFERENT CLOTHES.
IT'S ALL-- - I'M SO SORRY THAT WE'RE LATE.
I WANTED TO GET OUR, UH, OUR MATERIAL.
- DR. SANDERSON, DETECTIVES STEVENS AND NICHOLS
ARE WORKING THE CASE.
- HOW DO YOU DO? - HI.
- I'M SO EXCITED THAT YOU AGREED TO COME IN.
THIS GUY IS, UH, HE'S FAMOUS.
HE GOES ON TV.
- YES, WELL, THE MAYOR'S OFFICE
PREVAILED ON ME FOR A FORENSIC CONSULT.
- THE MAYOR.
WELL, LET'S GET RIGHT INTO IT.
WE'RE THINKING THAT DISSOCIATIVE IDENTITY DISORDER
COULD EXPLAIN SOME OF THIS.
- YES, I SEE YOU'RE CARRYING THE DSM-IV.
I PREFER "MULTIPLE PERSONALITY."
IT HAS THE FICTIONAL RING IT DESERVES.
- FICTIONAL? I DON'T FOLLOW.
- WITH ALL DUE RESPECT TO YOUR DIAGNOSTIC EFFORTS,
A BUNCH OF ACADEMICS INVENTING A TERM
DOESN'T MAKE IT REAL.
THE SO-CALLED MULTIPLES ARE MALINGERING.
- MALINGERING TO BOLSTER AN INSANITY DEFENSE?
- PRECISELY.
- BUT HE HASN'T EVEN BEEN ARRESTED.
- HE THINKS HE'LL BE.
SO HE'S USING ELABORATE ALIASES
TO HIDE BEHIND.
ON COURT TV,
I BLEW THE WHOLE NOTION
OF DISSOCIATIVE IDENTITY DISORDER TO PIECES.
YOU MAY HAVE MORE THAN ONE SUSPECT.
I'D GET BUSY ON THAT IDEA.
[phone beeps]
I'M SORRY, I HAVE A LUNCH.
- WELL, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, DOCTOR.
- BY 5:00 P.M., HE'LL BE ON NEW YORK ONE
TELLING THEM WE'RE ON THE WRONG TRACK.
- IT'S A CLEARLY DEFINED CONDITION.
DIFFERENT PERSONALITY STATES ARE EXPERIENCED,
EACH WITH A DISTINCT PERSONAL HISTORY,
SELF-IMAGE, AND A SEPARATE NAME; IT FITS.
- I NEED SOMETHING BETTER THAN YOUR TAKE FROM A TEXTBOOK.
- WELL, I ACTUALLY KNOW SOMEBODY
WHO'S TREATED THIS IN A CLINICAL SETTING.
- WELL, WHY AREN'T WE TALKING TO THEM?
- IT'S NOT SO EASY.
[playing jazz]
*
- IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE HEARD THAT.
- DAD.
- AH.
YOUR MOTHER SAID YOU-- YOU PLAY IN A BAND.
- YES, WITH SOME JAZZ PURISTS.
- YOU SHOULD INVITE ME.
- WELL, I DID.
UH, YOU WERE IN ZURICH.
ANYWAY...
YOU LOOK, UH...
YOU--YOU LOOK SO WELL.
- RIDING MY BIKE.
- OH.
- IT'S AMAZING HOW A SIMPLE THING LIKE THAT
OFFERS SOMETHING AKIN TO A HYPOMANIC STATE.
- HEH HEH.
YEAH.
WELL, THE PLACE LOOKS...GOOD.
YOU KNOW, STILL SPOTLESS.
- IT'S OUR SETTLEMENT.
TODAY, ZARA TAKES CARE OF ME.
THURSDAYS, SHE'S WITH YOUR MOTHER,
GIVING A FULL REPORT OF MY COMINGS AND GOINGS.
SO...YOU CAME FOR ADVICE.
HAVE YOU FINALLY MET MISS RIGHT?
- DAD, WHEN THAT HAPPENS,
I, UH, I PROBABLY WON'T SHARE.
- [sighs]
A THINLY-VEILED BARB
DIRECTED AT MY DYSFUNCTIONAL MARRIAGE.
GOOD.
IT MEANS YOU'VE REACHED OEDIPAL TERMINUS.
IS IT A, UH, POLICE MATTER?
- YEAH, IT'S A CASE THAT, UH,
I BELIEVE INVOLVES DISSOCIATIVE IDENTITY DISORDER.
- YOU FEEL THERE ARE VALID SYMPTOMS?
- YEAH, WELL, IF YOU READ THIS FILE,
I-I THINK IT MAY PROVIDE A CHANCE
TO COUNTER YOUR OPPOSITION.
- WHO'S BEEN CONSULTED?
- SANDERSON.
- OH, PLEASE.
MICHAEL SANDERSON?
- I KNEW YOU'D HAVE AN OPINION.
- AN UTTER FAILURE ON EVERY SCHOLASTIC LEVEL.
IF YOU WERE IN THIS PROFESSION,
AS IT WAS MOST FERVENTLY WISHED,
I--I...YOU...
OKAY.
IF IT HELPS YOU.
- IF IT HELPS ME?
- AND I DO ENJOY REVENGE.
- WELL, IT'S A MATTER OF SOME URGENCY.
- YES, YES.
HIS BEHAVIOR IS INFORMED BY THE PERSONA
OF THE CHILD.
- SO THIS MAN IN HIS MID-30s
ACTUALLY BELIEVES HE'S A CHILD?
- YES, WITH A LEVEL OF BELIEF THAT MOTIVATED TAKING A LIFE.
- BUT FORENSIC EVIDENCE DEMONSTRATES KNOWLEDGE
OF ANATOMY, MEDICINE.
- THE DOCTOR PERSONA KILLS,
BUT IN SERVICE TO THE FEARS OF THE CHILD.
- "PLEASE STOP."
THE CHILD WROTE THAT BECAUSE...
- YES. - [woman whimpers]
- HE FELT REMORSE.
- [whimpering]
[screaming]
- I SAID BE STILL!
- SO THE CHILD IS NOT A PSYCHOPATH.
THE DOCTOR'S THE PSYCHOPATH.
- THE EVIL DOCTOR'S THE CREATION OF A CHILD WHO WAS HURT,
EMOTIONALLY OR PHYSICALLY,
AND WANTED A PROTECTOR.
THE CHILD PATIENT, WHO'S PROBABLY
A BORDERLINE PERSONALITY AND VERY ANXIOUS TO PLEASE...
CREATES OTHER IDENTITIES.
- BUT WHY SOMEONE LIKE THE HOUSE PAINTER,
ANDY QUINN?
- HE SEEMS TO ME A FANTASY FATHER FIGURE.
BUT ONE IDENTITY IS DOMINANT.
THAT'S THE DOCTOR.
- OHH!
[whimpering]
- THE DOCTOR PERSONA KILLS
IN SERVICE TO THE FEARS OF THE CHILD.
- I LIKE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING,
BUT WE FOUND THESE DRAWINGS IN A COLORING BOOK
IN THE CHILD'S ROOM.
AND SEE THE PANDA?
HE KEEPS MAKING THE PANDAS.
- AND HE CHOSE MELLOWER COLORS,
NOT THE VIVID REDS OF HIS RAGE.
AND HERE, THE PANDA ON THE ROOF OF A HOUSE.
POSSIBLY A REFUGE.
MAYBE SOMETHING HE'S ACTUALLY SEEN.
- WE'LL GO THROUGH EVERYTHING FROM THE SEARCH.
MAYBE FIND WHAT IT IS.
- OH, THAT WOULD SEEM A MAJOR UNDERTAKING
WITH NO GUARANTEE OF SUCCESS.
- DAD...
THAT'S WHAT WE DO.
- OH.
- [coughing]
[grunts]
IS THIS ABOUT THE BOY?
- DISCIPLINE IS PUNISHMENT.
NOW, I HEARD YOU ADVISING HER,
"BE CRUEL."
- NO.
I'VE NEVER TOLD ANYONE TO--
- DISCIPLINE, KNOWING THAT DISCIPLINE
LEADS TO CRUELTY!
- [crying]
- THE BOY NEEDS TO BE PROTECTED FROM WOMEN LIKE YOU.
- NO!
- CHECKING THE TRADEMARK OF EVERY TOY WE FOUND.
NOTHING WITH A PANDA.
- WELL, I HAVE SOMETHING.
HERE. - WHAT DO YOU GOT?
OOH. RANDY QUINN'S CHECKBOOK.
- UH-HUH. TUITION FOR CARAVAGGIO SCHOOL.
BUT IT'S VOIDED. I CALLED.
THEY'LL HAVE THE TEACHER WHO MET WITH ANDY QUINN
GET BACK TO ME,
BUT THEN THERE'S THIS.
A CHECK MADE OUT TO PANDA'S ARMS.
- LET ME SEE.
OH, $250... UH, MARKED CHARITY.
WHAT'S PANDA'S ARMS?
- A CAMP FOR EMOTIONALLY DISTURBED KIDS.
CHECK OUT THE LOGO.
- WE GOTTA GET A HOLD OF THEIR RECORDS.
- UH-HUH. [phone ringing]
STEVENS.
YES.
GIVE ME YOUR NAME.
THAT WAS CARAVAGGIO SCHOOL.
TERRY MYERS,
THE TEACHER WHO MET WITH ANDY QUINN,
CAN'T BE LOCATED.
- DETECTIVE, UH, HERE'S MR. QUINN'S
APPLICATION FOR HIS SON.
NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY.
- HUH, THE ONLY REFERENCE HE GIVES
IS DR. MAYNARD CURTIS.
WE KNOW WHO THAT IS.
- UH, HE ALSO LEFT THESE THE FIRST TIME HE CAME.
- MM-HMM.
THE ANGEL.
- AN ANGEL ON A MOUNTAIN.
- LOOK AT THESE PASTEL PODS.
- HIS PAIN IS OBVIOUS.
YOU SEE THESE FACES?
- UH-HUH. TEARS, A CHILD CRYING.
[cell phone ringing]
- HIS VAN WAS SPOTTED BY A UNIT ON 23RD STREET,
BUT THEY LOST IT IN TRAFFIC.
THAT'S WHERE HIS OFFICE IS.
THERE'S SOMETHING HE WANTS.
HE'S GONNA COME BACK FOR IT. THANK YOU, MR. KNAUER.
- THANK YOU.
- HEY, HERE'S, UH,
HERE'S MORE OF THESE.
- HUH. PROBABLY WHAT HE'S COMING FOR.
- THIS TIME, THE PANDA IS RIDING A BUS.
- GET DOWN! GET DOWN!
- UHH!
WHAT'S GOIN' ON?
I'M JUST HERE ABOUT A PAINTING JOB!
- SHUT UP. GET UP.
- YOU DON'T REMEMBER US, DR. CURTIS?
- NO, I DON'T KNOW YOU.
- HOW 'BOUT SOMEONE YOU DO KNOW?
WHERE'S TERRY MYERS?
- I-I KNOW THE NAME,
BUT I DON'T KNOW WHERE SHE IS.
- LET'S GO.
- IT WAS, UM...
THERE WAS NO PAINTING EQUIPMENT
IN YOUR VAN.
- NOT ON THE JOB RIGHT NOW.
- DIDN'T YOU RECENTLY DO AN APARTMENT?
IN PARK SLOPE.
- YEAH, I DID SOME WORK OVER THERE.
- AH.
WHO GAVE YOU THAT JOB?
- UH...
I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER. UM...
- WAS THE DOCTOR?
- [scoffs]
- THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE,
SOME PEOPLE WHO AREN'T HERE NOW,
WHO ARE VERY MUCH A PART OF YOUR LIFE.
YOU KNOW WHO I MEAN.
LIKE, UH, LIKE THE BOY
WHO DID THESE.
WHAT ABOUT YOU?
DID YOU PAINT WHEN YOU WERE A BOY?
YEAH.
- MM-HMM. - YES.
WAS THE BOY AFRAID
OF ATTENDING THE CARAVAGGIO SCHOOL?
- YEAH.
- WHAT MADE HIM AFRAID?
- [sniffles]
THINGS WERE SAID...
BY THE TEACHER.
- BUT HE WAS NEVER THERE.
SO IT MUST HAVE BEEN YOU WHO HEARD THINGS SHE SAID
THAT MADE HIM AFRAID.
- I-I...
[mumbles] I DON'T KNOW.
- WHEN TOMMY'S AFRAID,
DOES HE TELL YOU, OR DO YOU...
DO YOU JUST FEEL IT?
- UH...
I LOVE THE BOY.
AND THE BOY VALUES LOVE, NOT...
NOT DISCIPLINE.
- DISCIPLINE.
IT'S FRIGHTENING, ISN'T IT?
AND WHO CAN PROTECT YOU?
WHO?
WHO IS THERE?
- I NEED DR. CURTIS.
[crying]
BUT I DON'T LIKE WHAT HE DOES.
- NO.
YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT DOES.
THEN...YOU COULD SEND HIM AWAY.
- HE'D BE GONE?
- YOU COULD MAKE HIM VANISH.
FOREVER.
- [chuckles] "VANISH."
- TOMMY, WHEN THE DOCTOR PROTECTED YOU FROM THE TEACHER,
DID HE TELL YOU WHERE HE TOOK HER?
- ZACK...
- TOMMY, WE NEED TO KNOW THAT.
- ZACK. ZACK.
- YEAH?
TOMMY... - DON'T FRIGHTEN TOMMY.
WE MUSTN'T FRIGHTEN TOMMY.
- DO YOU WANT SOMETHING?
A, UH, UH, A SODA OR ANYTHING, YOU KNOW?
- I'M HUNGRY.
- YOU CAN'T USURP MY AUTHORITY.
- DAD... MAKE THE DOCTOR VANISH?
THE DOCTOR KNOWS WHERE SHE IS.
- THERAPY INVOLVES BREAKING HIS WALL OF DISSOCIATION,
FINDING THE CORE PERSONA.
- THIS ISN'T ABOUT THERAPY. THAT COULD TAKE MONTHS.
WE HAVE ONE PURPOSE HERE.
- AND TOTAL DISREGARD FOR THIS MAN'S MENTAL HEALTH.
- IT'S NOT ABOUT THIS GUY.
- THERE COULD BE A TRIAL.
I COULD BE ON THE STAND, FORCED TO TESTIFY
HOW I ACTED IN A COMPLETELY UNPROFESSIONAL CAPACITY.
- YOU'RE TRYING TO SAVE A LIFE. THERE'S NO DISGRACE IN THAT.
DAD...WE CONFRONT PEOPLE. WE HAVE METHODS.
- WHICH ARE NOT MY METHODS.
- WAIT, WAIT. THIS IS NOT ABOUT METHODOLOGY.
THIS IS ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE ENTIRELY,
AND WE BOTH KNOW WHAT THAT IS.
- YOU ASK ME FOR MY EXPERTISE.
THEN YOU WANT ME TO DENIGRATE IT WITH YOUR--
- DAD...WHAT'S AT STAKE HERE
IS MORE THAN THE NICHOLS FAMILY FEUD.
TRY TAKING THE BLINDERS OFF FOR ONE SECOND...
- OHH. - AND SEE THE NEED TO ACT...
DAD!
- DON'T BELITTLE YOURSELF WITH SOME KIND OF SCENE, ZACK.
- I WILL DO ANYTHING, WHATEVER IT TAKES,
TO GET US BACK TO THE ISSUE AT HAND.
SAVING A LIFE.
I AGREE, YOU HAVE A DILEMMA.
THE DEFENSE IS GONNA USE WHATEVER THEY CAN
TO DISCREDIT YOU,
BUT LEAVING NOW, THAT'S A PROFESSIONAL COPOUT.
- [scoffs] WELL, THAT'S EASY FOR YOU TO SAY.
- IT'S NOT EASY FOR ME TO SAY.
NONE OF THIS IS EASY.
BUT I KNOW, I'M CERTAIN,
THAT MY FATHER...
IS MORE THAN A MATCH FOR ANY LAWYER
ON ANY CROSS-EXAMINATION.
AND AS FOR SOME OPPOSING SHRINK,
TELL ME YOU WOULDN'T ACTUALLY ENJOY
SHREDDIN' SOMEBODY LIKE SANDERSON.
- NOT BAD, ZACHARY.
- DO I HEAR YOU AGREEING?
- [sighs]
WE'LL NEED YOUR PARTNER AS WELL.
THE WOMAN'S ROLE IS IMPORTANT.
- MM-HMM.
- THE BOY'S BEEN IN TROUBLE BEFORE?
- YEAH.
THESE ARE HIS RECORDS FROM PANDA'S ARMS.
- HE STARTED FIRES, BROKE THINGS,
PUSHED KIDS.
- THOSE ARE LIES.
- THESE ARE POLICE, TOMMY.
THE PUNISH PEOPLE FOR THESE THINGS.
- I'M NOT BAD ANYMORE.
- WHAT ABOUT CURTIS?
WOULD YOU DENY HE DOES BAD THINGS?
- NO.
- DR. CURTIS...
HE'S JUST AN EXCUSE FOR YOUR OWN BEHAVIOR,
ISN'T HE, TOMMY?
YOUR MOTHER WOULDN'T HAVE PUT UP WITH THAT.
SHE KNEW WHAT YOU WERE UP TO.
SHE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN A FOOL.
SHE KNEW WHAT YOU NEEDED.
THE WORD.
SAY IT. SAY THE WORD.
- SAY IT.
YOU HEARD THE TEACHER SAY IT.
SAY IT.
- THE BOY WILL NEVER BE DISCIPLINED.
NEVER AGAIN.
- OR WHAT?
- HE DOESN'T NEED TO ADMIT ANYTHING.
- HE JUST DID.
HE BRAGGED ABOUT HOW HE LOOKS AFTER TOMMY.
THAT WASN'T TOMMY BRAGGING?
WAS THAT YOU, DR. CURTIS?
- I'M NOT BRAGGING.
I PROTECT HIM.
- SO YOU CAN'T SEPARATE YOURSELF.
YOU'RE THE BOY. - I'M DR. CURTIS.
- WELL, IT'S CLEAR THAT YOU'VE MADE A SIGNIFICANT MISTAKE.
- I DON'T MAKE MISTAKES.
- REALLY? DID YOU TELL TOMMY
HOW MUCH THE TEACHER ADMIRED HIS PAINTINGS?
YOU DIDN'T. THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.
- THE TEACHER WROTE ABOUT TOMMY, "THE BOY HAS TALENT.
A GIFT. NEEDS A CHANCE, AND WE CAN GIVE IT TO HIM."
DID TOMMY SEE THIS? DID HE?
WHAT IF HE WANTS TO MEET THIS TEACHER?
WOULD YOU NOT LET THAT HAPPEN?
ARE YOU THAT CRUEL?
- TOMMY DOES WONDERFUL WORK.
PEOPLE WANT TO PRAISE HIM. WHY PREVENT IT?
ISN'T IT POSSIBLE
FOR THIS ADMIRING TEACHER
TO MEET TOMMY?
- [whimpers softly]
TOMMY...
WHERE IS THAT?
- [crying]
WHERE I GREW UP.
- YOU DID?
IN A BUS?
- IT'S AN RV.
MY AUNTIE LIVED THERE.
- AND LOOK AT THIS.
YOU HAD A CHRISTMAS TREE...
LIKE THIS ONE?
AND WHERE IS THAT CHRISTMAS TREE NOW?
- I DON'T KNOW.
I DON'T KNOW.
MY AUNTIE DIED, AND I WAS SCARED,
BUT--BUT I DON'T KNOW.
- WHEN DID SHE DIE?
- A YEAR AGO.
A YEAR AGO!
AND I WAS AFRAID.
- I'LL CHECK THE REGISTRATION ON THE RV.
MAYBE THERE'S AN ADDRESS.
- HE'S FACING US ALONE.
HE HASN'T CALLED FOR ANY PROTECTION.
- YES, AND WE NEED MORE.
- ALL RIGHT.
- [crying]
- YOU KNOW WHAT, TOMMY?
I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!
YOU KNOW WHERE AUNTIE KEPT HER RV.
WHERE IS SHE?
- [sobbing] I DON'T KNOW.
- HE'S LYING; HE KNOWS.
- WELL, OF COURSE. NO DOUBT!
NO QUESTION! - SHUT UP!
[both grunting]
- YOU SON OF A BITCH! STOP!
- BACK OFF! BACK OFF!
- NO ONE WILL TOUCH THE BOY! I'LL KILL YOU!
I WILL KILL YOU! I WILL KILL YOU!
YOU WILL NOT TOUCH HIM.
I WILL KILL YOU, YOU BASTARD!
- YOU OKAY? - I WILL KILL YOU!
- OH, YEAH. REMEMBER, I DID 20 YEARS OF CLINICAL.
I GOT USED TO IT.
AHEM.
[clears throat]
THANKS.
AHEM!
- AN RV WAS OWNED BY THE MOTHER'S SISTER,
ONLY IT HASN'T BEEN REREGISTERED
SINCE HER DEATH LAST YEAR.
BUT IT DID FIND THIS IN ANDY QUINN'S BILLS.
- MONTHLY RENTAL CHARGES FROM RANDALL'S BOAT YARD
IN STATEN ISLAND.
SOME OF THOSE PLACES STORE BOTH.
[helicopter whirring]
[sirens]
[indistinct shouting]
- TERRY.
- [breathing]
- SHE'S ALIVE.
GUYS...
GO, GO.
- GO.
- YOU'RE READING ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT?
- I'M JUST, I'M--I'M SEEING IF THE VERMEERS
ARE GONNA COME BACK TO THE MET.
- EVERYONE FROM ZARA TO OUR DOORMAN,
AND OF COURSE, YOUR MOTHER,
IS READING ABOUT WHAT YOU'VE DONE.
AND MORE MENTION SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE OF YOUR NAME.
- ONE MENTION'S ENOUGH.
UM, BY THE WAY, I'VE LOBBIED OUR PRESS RELATIONS PEOPLE
TO KEEP YOUR NAME OUT OF IT.
- [chuckles]
YOU KNOW...
IN THERAPY,
WHEN WE'VE HAD A REALLY GOOD SESSION,
WE JOKINGLY SAY,
"TODAY, WE'VE BEEN TO LOURDES."
- MEANING...
YOU'VE ACHIEVED A MIRACLE CURE?
- NO, JUST MEANING IT WAS A VERY GOOD SESSION.
BUT I BELIEVE IT MAY BE
YOU AND I HAVE BEEN TO LOURDES.
- SHOULD I TAKE THAT AS... APPROVAL?
- DON'T PRESUME.
AHEM!
DON'T PRESUME.
[chuckles]
- I'M SO GLAD YOU CALLED, DAD.
UH, THE NEXT TIME YOU PLAY,
YOUR MOTHER AND I WANT TO COME.
- SURE...DAD.
THAT--THAT'D BE GREAT.
GREAT.
- [chuckles]
