01:30I'd better call him and tell him to come on out here.
01:32We'll miss a reservation.
01:38Well, good.
01:39Maybe we forgot.
01:40Let's go.
01:41No, wait.
01:42No, wait a minute.
01:43He isn't the type to forget.
01:45Oh, look.
01:47No, wait.
01:48No, wait a minute.
03:21Alex was a sunshiny kid.
03:24He had everything to live for.
03:25Dad, every time somebody commits suicide, all his friends say what a happy guy he was.
03:29You couldn't know what was in his mind.
03:31Yeah, but still.
03:33Look, there was no forced entry.
03:35There was no scuffle.
03:36It looks like a classic suicide.
03:38But isn't it a bit suspicious of his remote?
03:42Lieutenant, this is in his pocket.
03:43Well, how do we know that's his signature?
03:50Uh, here's a signed letter.
03:56Well, we know now.
03:59Steve, this telephone smells of cologne.
04:02He probably put it on for his evening with us.
04:04I think he was talking to somebody on this phone just before he died.
04:08Should you use the police computers to check and see what calls were made and received on this phone tonight?
04:12Dad, we don't do that kind of investigation with a suicide.
04:15Not when there's a note.
04:16Come on.
04:17For your dad.
04:18For your old man.
04:19All right?
04:19No.
04:20Here's the list.
04:24All the calls on Alex's phone the hour before he died.
04:28You know, helping you out like this is gonna cost me my job one of these days.
04:31Not that I'd mind.
04:34Well, I'm just in a bad mood.
04:35Charlotte broke up with me.
04:37Oh, no.
04:38I thought this one was going someplace.
04:40It was.
04:41Right in a dumper.
04:42She couldn't stand my being a cop.
04:45I'm sorry.
04:46But don't worry, my friend.
04:48You have a lot to offer, and there are a lot of fish out there in this.
04:52Hello.
04:53What?
04:54Alex's last phone call was to perfect couples.
04:57The dating service?
04:58Why?
04:59Well, doesn't that strike you as kind of odd?
05:01Hey, a lot of people joined dating services.
05:03I did once.
05:05Of course, no one wanted to date a cop, so they had to give my money back.
05:08Well, as I say, you have a lot to offer.
05:11There's a lot to fish out there in the sea.
05:13And why would Alex call it dating service?
05:15When a man's about to kill himself, the last thing he thinks about is a date.
05:20It's an anomaly.
05:22Can you tap into that computer?
05:24What am I looking for?
05:26Well, maybe there's some connection between this dating service and Alex's death.
05:29You mean he couldn't get a date, so he killed himself?
05:32You're probably right.
05:33I'm grasping at straws here.
05:36Well, anyway, thanks for this.
05:39And, uh, buck up, my friend.
05:41There's a lot of ladies who enjoyed your company.
05:43Hey, Barbara, Laura, Melissa.
05:45Spare me the pep talk, will ya?
05:47Melissa.
05:51Melissa.
05:52Melissa.
06:08Hey, Melissa, it's Steve.
06:10Steve Sloan.
06:14How can you say that?
06:16I was never obsessed with my work.
06:19Dad, what are you doing?
06:20Uh, probably just wasting people's time here.
06:23I'm sorry.
06:23Go back to work.
06:27Hi, I'm back.
06:28Uh, Melissa, I've been thinking a lot about you the past couple of months.
06:34Really.
06:34The point is, I think that now I am ready to commit to this relationship a hundred and...
06:41Another printout?
06:46What are you doing with all those printouts?
06:48Taking them back to the hospital.
06:49Why?
06:50Look, I am sorry I disrupted your routine.
06:52Please, everybody, as you were, okay?
06:55I'm out of here.
06:56So, uh, how about dinner tonight?
07:04Mariachis?
07:06Margaritas?
07:08Melissa?
07:09Melissa?
07:10Hello?
07:10What did my father want with you?
07:21He asked for a list of all-male suicides from last year.
07:24Only took a second to get it.
07:27You know what did he want with you?
07:29Give me the suicide list and ask how many belong to some dating service.
07:32Perfect couples.
07:34How many?
07:35Three.
07:36Three from the same service?
07:38Oh, that's got to be a coincidence, huh?
07:41Maybe what are the odds?
07:42According to the computer, 64 million to one.
07:47That high.
07:53Amigo, Dr. Sloan, time for the budget projections meeting.
07:57Oh, golly, Norman.
07:59Uh, could we do it later, maybe around three o'clock?
08:01I have some important staff decisions here.
08:04Well, staff decisions are important.
08:06Carry on.
08:08So, will everyone have an assignment?
08:11Yeah.
08:11I go to the library and look for the news items about the suicides of Ralph Traeger and Jerome
08:18Kitchener.
08:18Since Traeger, Kitchener and your friend Alex Foreman were all members of the Perfect Couple's
08:22dating service, I'm going to snoop around there and see if the connection runs a little
08:25deeper.
08:26While I check out Mr. Kitchener.
08:28And I do the same with Ralph Traeger.
08:29Hmm, Traeger, Traeger.
08:33Yeah, let's see.
08:33Hmm, yeah.
08:36Ah, here we are.
08:39Ralph Traeger.
08:41Fancy ceremony I remember.
08:44Catholic.
08:44A Catholic funeral for a suicide?
08:47Oh, the police said suicide.
08:49The ex-wife said no way.
08:51So did his mom.
08:53She was concerned about where his immortal soul was shipping to.
08:56So the priest gave it the benefit of the doubt.
09:00Can you tell me where I can reach the family?
09:03I'm sorry.
09:03We only keep the complete file six months.
09:06The mom was from out of town and the ex, I don't remember her name.
09:10All I remember really is that they were certain he hadn't killed himself.
09:17They're not the only ones.
09:31Yes?
09:32Are you Jerome Kitchener's mother?
09:34Why?
09:35I'm Suzanne.
09:37Jerome didn't mention me?
09:39We used to date.
09:40Then why didn't you call him Bud like everybody else?
09:44Because we were beyond conventional nicknames.
09:48You don't fool me.
09:50You're a statistician for that self-termination society.
09:54No, I have nothing to do with it.
09:56You people have called once a month since Bud died trying to get information for your database.
10:01How many times do I have to tell you?
10:04He didn't kill himself.
10:06Excuse me.
10:25How can I help you?
10:26Um, doctor?
10:28What?
10:30Oh.
10:31Sorry about that.
10:34Um, I'm taking a joining.
10:37Really?
10:38Uh-huh.
10:38Oh, a handsome, educated fellow like you has trouble meeting women.
10:44Well, I keep strange hours and, um...
10:46Do you like pot roast?
10:49Yeah.
10:49Why?
10:50Well, I just got a new crock pot and I was looking for a way to inaugurate it.
10:55Vaughn.
10:56Aren't you supposed to buzz me when we have a prospective new member?
11:00I was about to.
11:01I'm, uh, Tanya Gilpin.
11:03I'm director of membership.
11:04Hi, how you doing?
11:04I'm fine.
11:06Would you care to come to my office?
11:10We're in business here, darling.
11:12Not in heat.
11:14Right.
11:17So all of our members provide photographs of themselves and they fill out one of these biography forms.
11:22Now, the only identification is a first name and membership number.
11:27Now, together, these make one page in a membership book.
11:30Yours would go in the men's book and this, of course, is a women's book.
11:34I noticed.
11:36Hey, suppose I, um, find somebody that I want to meet.
11:41Well, you tell us.
11:42We notify her that someone is interested.
11:45She comes down and looks at your bio and your photo.
11:48And if she returns your interest, then we give you each other's full names and phone numbers.
11:53And anonymity is total until the feeling is mutual.
11:57That's it?
11:59To, um, to meet somebody, all I got to do is ask.
12:02Unless she moves first and asks to meet you.
12:05But, um, none of this can happen unless you join.
12:09Miss Gilpin?
12:10There's some checks for you to sign up front.
12:12Okay.
12:13Look, I'll be back in a few moments.
12:17Um, can you keep yourself amused?
12:18Oh, yeah.
12:26Come on.
12:27I'll be back in a few moments.
12:57Cut the fat from that department.
13:00From now on, it'll be a lean, mean fighting machine.
13:02Just what everyone's looking for at Rupert Spectrum's.
13:05Mark, the kitchen's had a problem with their insurance.
13:07Let's talk to Bentley.
13:09It took me all day to get Dr. Sloan to attend this budget meeting.
13:12Unless this kitchen thing is very important, we will...
13:13Go away.
13:14Go away.
13:15But, uh, I do have a budget request for the pathology lab.
13:19I found one news item.
13:21It mentions Raph Traeger.
13:23Is this medical or not?
13:25Is it the business section?
13:26Why do I bother to ask?
13:28Listen, it's about how cautious the underwriters are getting.
13:32Traeger's ex-wife complained when no-risk insurance wouldn't pay after his death.
13:38Maybe that's why she claimed it wasn't suicide.
13:40Well, Jerome, Kitchener's mother claimed the same thing.
13:43She insisted that her son would not have killed himself.
13:46They probably knew insurance companies don't pay on suicide.
13:49Yes, they do.
13:50They have to.
13:51That's the incontestable clause.
13:52Incontestable clause.
13:54They explained it when I bought my policy.
13:56The company has two years to establish any reason to suspect fraud.
14:00A pre-existing medical condition, say, or a suicidal disposition.
14:03Once the policy's been in effect two years, it's incontestable.
14:06They have to pay off no matter what.
14:08Well, they didn't pay off on Traeger.
14:10Well, then I guess the policy was less than two years old.
14:13Norman, let me ask you this.
14:15Wait, everyone.
14:16This is not a non-medical meeting.
14:18This is a budget meeting.
14:19Is it too much to ask for all of us to confine our discussions to hospital finances?
14:24Dr. Bentley, you had a request for pathology?
14:26Yes, I would like a part-time lab assistant, please.
14:29Who and how much?
14:30Gloria, $42,789.
14:33Gloria, $42,000.
14:34You think we're made of money?
14:36She's a member of Perfect Couples.
14:37Her name is Gloria, membership number 42789, and Mark.
14:41Ready for this?
14:42At one time or another, she dated all three suicides.
14:46She did?
14:47What's her last name?
14:48I'm sorry.
14:49Tell me after the budget.
14:51Oh, no, no.
14:51Actually, I'd like to know her last name.
14:53The computer wouldn't give it to me.
14:54You need a password.
14:56But I can date her.
14:59Her?
15:01How?
15:02I'll just join the service.
15:03Ask to meet her if she says yes, then they give me her full name and a phone number.
15:07Only problem, though, is I gotta fill out one of these questionnaire things.
15:11about myself.
15:11I never know what to write in these things.
15:13Just list your good points, baby.
15:15I don't have that much paper on me, do you know what I'm saying?
15:19Dolores and I would be happy to take care of this.
15:22Matter of fact, Perfect Couples is on my way home.
15:24I'd be happy to drop off the whole packet for you.
15:26Really?
15:26Yeah.
15:27Wow, great.
15:28Okay.
15:29Welcome.
15:34Always wanted to do this.
15:35Me too.
15:36Do what?
15:38Create Mr. Right.
15:41Jack Stewart?
15:53Yeah.
15:54This is Gloria.
15:57Who?
15:59Gloria, 42789.
16:01From Perfect Couples.
16:03It is?
16:04At six o'clock in the morning?
16:08I read your bio and I didn't want to wait.
16:11So?
16:12What are you doing tonight?
16:13I can't believe I'm finally sitting here with you.
16:27When I read your bio, it was like instant soulmate.
16:31Huh.
16:31I mean, Mozart?
16:34Hmm?
16:35Mozart, you know.
16:36Oh, right, um, the other guy.
16:40Not, uh, not F. Murray.
16:41What's his name?
16:43And I like that movie.
16:50What's this?
16:51Your salad.
16:53Where's the dressing?
16:54What's on there?
16:56Exactly.
16:58I, Baker Bar.
16:59I ordered my dressing on the side.
17:01If your brain's too small to remember things, try writing them down.
17:04That's what the little pad is for.
17:06I'm going to speak to your manager, Otto.
17:08Now take this salad back to the kitchen and bring it back with the dressing on the side.
17:12You probably think I was a bit harsh with Otto.
17:22Don't you see, Jack?
17:24He only did that because I'm a woman.
17:26Because he thought I'd be too weak and too frightened to say anything.
17:30I learned that from my ex-husband.
17:32That's why I got rid of him.
17:36Brilliant.
17:36And how did you do that?
17:39Let's just say his hunting days are over.
17:42And when I joined Perfect Couples, a couple of guys there tried to take advantage of me, so I had to fix them, too.
17:53Well, you've been very busy.
18:12Listen, you don't have to walk me all the way to my ambulance.
18:16Oh, good, because I got to get up really early in the morning anyway, so, uh...
18:19No trespassing!
18:31No trespassing!
18:32I'm fed up with this. I really am.
18:41Every time I leave this hospital, I get hit.
18:44Of course you've got a mouth on you, Jack.
18:47Ow!
18:48Oh, I'm barely touching you, big baby.
18:51Doctors are the worst patients of all.
18:52Hey, Steve.
18:53Hi, guys.
18:55Oh, thanks for coming, Steve.
18:56Well, it's not like I date or anything.
18:58So, Jack, do you have any idea why the guy did this to you?
19:01No, I have no idea.
19:02What this guy did was yell, no trespassing, and he hit me.
19:05Well, I can't open up a murder investigation to check out an overzealous groundskeeper.
19:09What are you talking about?
19:11This guy could be behind the suicide murders.
19:14Well, then how come you're alive?
19:15And how come the dead guys didn't have any bruises and you got a beauty?
19:19Good point, Steve.
19:20This Emma wasn't like any of the others at all.
19:22This is an act of passion, not premeditation.
19:25I think our killer's a real cucumber.
19:27Is this Gloria a cucumber?
19:31No, she's more like a Jekyll and Hyde.
19:34And one minute she's all sweet, nice, and...
19:37Next minute she's like reaming this waiter royally about this salad.
19:43It was unbelievable.
19:44And then she goes on to tell me how she got even with a couple of guys from Perfect Couples.
19:49So it could be her.
19:50At the very least, she's linked to the three dead men.
19:53What do you say we go find out what no trespassing means to her?
19:58No trespassing? Oh, my God, he's back.
20:01Who's back?
20:02Pleat, my ex-husband.
20:03He was in Donnamore for aggravated assault.
20:05He always said he'd get me when he got out.
20:07How come he got me?
20:08Because you were with me.
20:10When we were married, Cleat said I was his property.
20:13That's what no trespassing means.
20:15He thinks someone's been tilling his land.
20:18He'll come after me next.
20:20Oh, I think you're safe for now.
20:22He probably drained himself emotionally when he did that to Jack.
20:25I doubt if we'll be back up to Frenzy for a few days.
20:28To be sure, you should stay someplace else tonight.
20:31We got an extra bed at my place.
20:33You?
20:35Look what Cleat did to you, and I didn't even like you.
20:38You didn't?
20:39Actually, you should be guarded by someone with experience.
20:42I'm a police officer, a lieutenant, as it happens.
20:45A cop?
20:46I'd rather die.
20:47God, men are so full of themselves.
20:49Gloria, to be safe, you really should be with someone tonight.
20:52I'm not gonna let Cleat chase me out of my own apartment.
20:55Well, then you better let somebody stay here.
20:56How about you?
21:01Me?
21:02I trust you.
21:05Well, I...
21:06Well, I suppose so.
21:08I guess, uh...
21:09What do you think?
21:12You know, this ex-husband of hers can really hurt your father.
21:15We better find him fast.
21:16That guy just got out of Donomore.
21:18He probably reports to a parole officer.
21:20That's a good idea.
21:21That Gloria's really something, isn't she?
21:23Yeah, tell me about it.
21:23How do you figure we both struck out?
21:26I guess she goes for older guys.
21:28Well, maybe I'll start dying my hair.
21:31Great.
21:43Know why I picked you to stay with me tonight?
21:46Because you trust me.
21:47Well, that's part of it.
21:50But also, when you said Cleat would be emotionally drained,
21:52I could tell you knew what you were talking about.
21:56Well, I want a man who knows what he's doing,
21:58not someone with a lot of muscles to show off.
22:02Well, I'm just exactly the man for that job.
22:07Good night.
22:08Jack, honestly, I can hardly see it.
22:21Yeah, I can hardly see out of it, all right?
22:25Worst liar ever.
22:26Good morning, all.
22:27Hi.
22:27Hey, Steve.
22:29Cleve Kinley's bro officer sent that over.
22:32Yeah, that's him.
22:33That's the guy that hit me.
22:34Hey, mind if I take this in short run and perfect couples?
22:37Maybe he'll look familiar to something.
22:38Keep it.
22:39I got copies.
22:39All right, thanks.
22:41If I leave now, I can get back here before my rounds.
22:44I'm going to check out Mr. Kinley's apartment.
22:46All right, I'll talk to you later.
22:46See you later.
22:47Uh-huh.
22:48See you later.
22:52I made him pay a month in advance.
22:54A transient, you know.
22:55Kind of skips town owing your money.
22:57Well, this one isn't going anywhere.
22:58It's a condition of his parole.
23:01A parolee?
23:01There's no danger.
23:14Oh, my God.
23:16Good morning.
23:40I need to ask you...
23:42Good morning, doctor.
23:43Your ears must have been burning.
23:46A few of our members asked to meet you.
23:48Yeah, how many?
23:5162.
23:53It's a new record.
23:56Wow.
23:57That was some biography you wrote.
24:00Really?
24:01Yeah.
24:01Oh, this one.
24:05Fawn, 40167.
24:07Mm-hmm.
24:08Guess who that is.
24:09Oh, I think I can figure that one out.
24:12Anyway, I wanted to ask you...
24:14Hi.
24:14Hi.
24:15I'm Bunny.
24:16Hey, Bunny.
24:17How you doing?
24:17Good.
24:18I hope you don't think I'm forward waiting here for you to come in.
24:21Don't listen to her.
24:22It was my idea to wait here.
24:24I loved your bio and didn't want to let a minute go by.
24:27You loved his bio?
24:29I had to explain to you what Armagnac was.
24:33Armagnac?
24:34Oh, poor baby.
24:36Do you want me to put a cold compress on that?
24:38No, no, I'm okay.
24:38Sticky buns?
24:39I know you love things hot from the oven.
24:42Doctor?
24:43Yeah.
24:43Um, can I see you in my office?
24:46Yeah.
24:47I...
24:48Excuse me.
24:49Stop it.
24:58Sorry if I interrupted.
24:59Oh, come on.
25:00Are you kidding me?
25:00That was like, uh...
25:01It was like being attacked by friendly piranha.
25:04Maybe you're a receptionist.
25:06Well...
25:07She was within her rights.
25:09We do allow members to date staff.
25:13Any staff.
25:16Really?
25:17Isn't that a little weird?
25:18You know, if a relationship goes bad, no, you keep running to each other.
25:23Well, this is a dating service.
25:25Half the members have gone out with the other half.
25:28Lord, my ex-husband even joined for a while, but, um, Artie and I coped.
25:33Oh, man, I couldn't.
25:34There's no way.
25:36I'm Italian.
25:37When we stop loving, we punish.
25:41Speaking of which, I'm showing this to some of the people up here.
25:44Have you seen this guy?
25:45Because he hit me when I dated Gloria.
25:47I was gonna ask you about that.
25:52Yes, I have.
25:52I've seen him many times.
25:54Really?
25:54Where?
25:55Well, he haunts this place.
25:57He hangs out in the alley, just watching.
26:00And when I ask what he's doing here, he says that he's here to meet his wife.
26:03Obviously a lie.
26:04Married people can't join.
26:07Well, what if it's his ex-wife?
26:08Oh, my God.
26:13And he's stalking her?
26:14I will call the police the next time I see him.
26:18Yeah, right.
26:18You do that.
26:20Yeah, because they want to talk to him.
26:21There he is!
26:26Two, four, three, four, three!
26:29My God, they're multiplying.
26:31I feel like a beetle.
26:32You know, I gotta tell you, I always knew this would happen to me one day, and now that it's happening, why the hell is it happening?
26:39You don't know?
26:45What's that?
26:46An easy open bag.
26:47I make them.
26:48I do men's items, too.
26:49Could you use a portfolio tote bag?
26:51Well, maybe.
26:52What I'm asking is, what is that?
26:55This.
26:56It's the bio you wrote.
26:58It's why all of this is happening.
27:00It's terrible.
27:09Three men had eaten her dead.
27:11Hmm.
27:12Alex Foreman was a terrific kid.
27:15Yeah.
27:16Kind of like you.
27:18Why don't I wind up with guys like that?
27:20Why is it always the bozos, like Cleet?
27:23Fast fists, slow brains.
27:26But still, I can't see him killing anybody.
27:29Yeah, I'm inclined to agree with you.
27:31This killer was someone very smart.
27:34Why do you say that?
27:36Well, think about it.
27:37It's hard enough to make a murder look like an accident, and it's even harder to make one look like a suicide.
27:43How do you get the victim to wholesale while you put the noose around his neck?
27:46Oh, that's easy, Drago.
27:52So, I gave him your poison.
27:54Excuse me.
27:55How do you take your cappuccino?
27:56Well, no, uh, sprinkled, no cinnamon in it, no anything.
28:01So, wouldn't giving him drugs be a good idea?
28:03Yeah, that would be good.
28:05Uh, yeah, that would be effective, yes.
28:08You haven't touched your cappuccino.
28:10Yeah, well, I'm gonna, I'm gonna touch it now.
28:16Oh, my God, you think I killed those men?
28:18Well, I mean, you did date them all.
28:21You know, Jack said something about you fixing a couple of guys with perfect couples.
28:25Then one of them tried to hit me, and the other one turned out to be married, for God's sake.
28:30So you fixed them?
28:32I reported them to the management and got them thrown out.
28:37Oh.
28:37Well, well, here's to, uh, groundless suspicions.
28:43And to smart people, the kind I ought to be involved with.
28:50What was that for?
28:52Just my way of saying thank you.
28:54Well, you're welcome.
28:55You're more than welcome.
28:58Now what?
29:00Just trying to get you to notice me.
29:02Why notice me?
29:03Lord, I mean, you're a very attractive young lady.
29:05Very, very young, young woman.
29:06And you're a very young, older man.
29:10Yeah, Gloria, this is not a good idea.
29:14You know there's something really sexy about a man who tries to resist me.
29:19Do I have any chance to resemble your father?
29:24Don't be silly.
29:26Give me time.
29:27I may grow on you.
29:30I, um, I have to go get ready.
29:32Oh, good.
29:36Mark, would you mind getting that for me?
29:42Okay.
29:44Oh.
29:53Oh, Steve, come on in, please.
29:55Well, Dad, you were right.
29:57Kinley was out.
29:57This place was a shrine to hating Gloria.
30:00I think he's a killer.
30:02You're gonna make it an official homicide investigation.
30:04Hmm.
30:05So, how was your night?
30:07Uneventful.
30:07Totally uneventful.
30:08Mm-hmm.
30:09I thought, uh, Gloria might know where to find her ex.
30:12Hmm.
30:12Would you ask her?
30:13I think you can probably get more out of her than I can.
30:15Well, I kind of doubt it.
30:16She's been very circumspect with me.
30:19Would you zip me, Marky-poo?
30:21Marky-poo?
30:22She never called me that.
30:24You didn't call me that.
30:25Would you please tell my son you don't like me?
30:27I do like you.
30:28Well, I mean not like that.
30:30I do like you like that.
30:32She didn't like me last night, but nothing happened at all.
30:35Mm-hmm.
30:35Yeah.
30:37Gloria, I'd like to bring Cleet in.
30:38His, uh, landlady doesn't know where he goes or what he does.
30:41Do you have any thoughts on the, uh, subject?
30:43He sometimes works as a weight trainer in Culver City at the new U gym.
30:49I'll check it out.
30:51This is just a thank you kiss, you know.
30:54Sure.
30:54Stay in the room.
30:56Hello?
30:58Uh, yeah, he's here.
31:00Lieutenant, it's for you.
31:04Sloan.
31:04Alone at last.
31:06Gloria, this has got to stop.
31:08What's the matter?
31:09Afraid you'll fall into the spell of a killer?
31:11All right.
31:14Damn it.
31:16What?
31:16It was my friend at the coroner's office.
31:19They performed the autopsy on Alex Foreman yesterday.
31:21It was death by asphyxiation from hanging.
31:24No bruises on the body, no sign of foul play, no drugs in the system, nothing.
31:28I don't get it.
31:30How do you immobilize someone for a fake suicide?
31:33With no drugs and without leaving a single bruise?
31:37Dad, you're not listening to me.
31:38When that report is filed, his death is going to be listed as a suicide.
31:41Case will be closed before I can open it.
31:43The report's not filed yet.
31:45It will be by noon.
31:47Then you still have time to pick up Cleet Kinley.
31:50And I'll have to let him go.
31:51Now, what good is that going to do?
31:52Throw a scare into him.
31:53Maybe if he gets nervous, he'll, you know, trip himself up.
31:57Look, come on, Steve.
31:58I gotta sleep in my own bed tonight.
32:00Oh, well, forgive me if I don't sympathize.
32:03But I'll bring him in.
32:04See you later.
32:06Okay.
32:07Take care.
32:15Hi, Dolores.
32:16Mark wanted to see me.
32:17Uh, Norman Briggs shanghaied him into another budget meeting.
32:21But they'll be out soon.
32:22Well, I hope so.
32:23They can go with Jack's quick.
32:24Hey, you are.
32:25The two of you.
32:26You got a problem, Jack?
32:28Mozart?
32:29I like Mozart?
32:30Well, then you don't know who Mozart is?
32:31I don't really know who he is.
32:32He wrote Anne Klein's Night Music.
32:33Well, actually, it's Anne Klein and not moving.
32:35This has nothing to do with me.
32:38I don't like candles in my house.
32:40I don't love cats and children.
32:43I don't take two-hour bubble baths.
32:45And there's no way in hell Wuthering Heights is my favorite movie.
32:48Well, okay, but you wanted this Gloria person to go out with you.
32:50And she did.
32:51So then the plan worked.
32:53Jack?
32:54Yeah?
32:54You learn anything at Perfect Couples.
32:56Yeah, just that 62 women want to meet me.
32:5962?
32:59They're even making me gifts.
33:01Look.
33:01My new tote bag.
33:03A woman in the club made this for you?
33:05Well, not exactly.
33:06She was a staff member.
33:07Isn't that a little irregular, staff getting involved with clients?
33:10Well, Tanya says it happens all the time.
33:12She said her husband, her ex-husband even joined for a little while.
33:15But she and Artie are coping.
33:17I wouldn't mind having women make me a tote bag.
33:20You know, Norman, I used to be like you once.
33:23I thought it'd be great, thrilling, having women chasing me for a change.
33:25It's a nightmare.
33:27Well, if you're on a date and it doesn't work out, give her my number.
33:30Have a good day, gentlemen.
33:37Yes?
33:40Someone to see you at reception is a bunch of women.
33:43And one of them got a tan of hot muffins.
33:45Oh, God.
33:48My God, they found me.
33:50What?
33:51I'm not here.
33:52I'm not anywhere.
33:53I'll be to Zane.
33:56Mark, you wanted to see me?
33:58Need a favor.
33:59Oh?
33:59We have a main suspect in the suicide murders, but his profile does not fit the killers.
34:04I think we need to find out a little bit more about the first two victims.
34:07I've located Ralph Traeger's family in Bakersfield.
34:11I know that's a long drive.
34:12Hmm.
34:13No problem.
34:15Yes, my girl.
34:15Can I help you?
34:34No.
34:35I'm looking for Cleet, Kinley.
34:38You're kidding.
34:39I've never seen a cop arrest someone before.
34:43Are you going to, like, chase them up to the roof and everything?
34:45No, I don't think so, son.
34:46See, that's just something they do in television to make a chase scene more exciting.
34:50Yeah?
34:52Yeah, you see, nobody in their right mind would go up on a roof.
34:54There's only one way up.
34:56You'd be trapping yourself.
34:58Oh.
34:58So, where can I find Mr. Kinley?
35:04You're like a tiger boy.
35:06Yeah.
35:08You want to use it?
35:09Yeah.
35:22Oh, I don't believe it.
35:28Kinley, it's the police.
35:33Give it up.
35:35You've got a gun.
35:37You don't.
35:42All the same, Kinley.
35:44You're still trapped.
35:45There's no way down but the way you came up.
35:47Oh, God.
35:58There's no way down but the way you came up.
36:28Not only did I lose him, but the coroner's report came in and Alex Foreman's death has been ruled a suicide.
36:40Kinley ran.
36:41He shot at you.
36:42Oh, he's wanted for attempted murder and parole violation, but as far as killing Alex Foreman and the others, he's free as a proverbial bird.
36:51What are we supposed to do, solve this ourselves?
36:54Bet you we could.
36:56If we use bait.
36:58Bait?
36:58Yeah.
37:01Look, we know that this guy comes out of the woodwork every time Gloria goes on a date, right?
37:07So what if, what if she went out with someone?
37:12Someone that she liked.
37:15Whoa.
37:16No.
37:16Mark.
37:17I am not bait.
37:18I am a hook.
37:19I'm a line of massacre.
37:20You'd be safe.
37:21I'd follow you in my car, so you'd be two of us, one of him.
37:23Yeah, and I'm off duty tonight, so there'd be three of us.
37:26Yeah.
37:26What if he jumps me when you can't see?
37:28Well, we'll put a wire on you.
37:31Well, he can't go lending out police equipment willy-nilly like that.
37:34Of course he can do willy-nilly.
37:35Come on, he's your son.
37:36He's a cop.
37:37Yeah, I'll just requisition a transmitter.
37:39Come on, Mark.
37:40You'd be safe as a triple-A bond.
37:41What do you say?
37:44I'll do it, but I won't hate it.
37:45Oh, that's the spirit.
37:46Oh, listen.
37:47One small piece of advice.
37:50You surprise him, not the other way around.
37:53If you don't, you're dead.
37:55Guy's got to write like a pile driver.
37:57That's how he got me.
37:59Thanks, Jack.
38:00No problem.
38:07I'm pulling up to the curb now.
38:09Over.
38:09We're in front of the rest of her.
38:13Are you guys?
38:14Over.
38:24I am getting out of the car.
38:25Over.
38:28Good evening, sir.
38:33I am helping Gloria out.
38:35Over.
38:37All right.
38:38Don't do that, Gloria.
38:41Cleveland B. Johnson doesn't look like a real date.
38:44Oh, right.
38:45Okay.
38:47We're walking towards the restaurant.
38:48Over.
38:50We are going into the restaurant.
38:52Over.
38:53I guess I should have told him he doesn't have to say over every time.
38:57We are in the restaurant.
38:58Over.
39:02This way, please.
39:03No sign of Kinley.
39:04Over.
39:05Oh, God.
39:08Norman, what a surprise.
39:09You can say that again.
39:11I know you.
39:14No, you don't.
39:14Yes, I do.
39:16Hi, I'm Gloria.
39:17Ms. Kinley.
39:19Perfect couples.
39:20No, no.
39:21Not a perfect couple.
39:22She's a friend of the family.
39:23Old, old friend.
39:24We sort of met through perfect couples.
39:27I saw your picture.
39:28Oh, are you a member?
39:29Oh, no, not yet.
39:30But I'm thinking of joining.
39:32First thing in the morning.
39:34No, this is not what it looks like.
39:35This is not a date.
39:37This is strictly business.
39:39Then I guess you wouldn't care to join us.
39:40I'm having dinner with some of the hospital board members.
39:43We want to be alone.
39:45No, we don't want to be alone.
39:46We have to be.
39:47I mean, we need to be.
39:49Enough said.
39:49You dog, you.
40:03I'm having the stuffed lobster.
40:04Over.
40:06And I'll have the blackened red fish.
40:09Gloria's having a blackened red fish.
40:11Over.
40:12And an arugula salad.
40:13Over.
40:15Oh, and should we have a grand marnier souffle for dessert?
40:18Mmm.
40:19Good.
40:20Over.
40:21Did you get that out of the phone?
40:23Yes.
40:24Have you had a chance to...
40:25Stop making my stomach gross.
40:27Ready for a sandwich now?
40:28Yeah, correct.
40:29We're ready to the steering wheel, huh?
40:33Hey, wait a minute.
40:35Do that again.
40:36Do what?
40:37Open it?
40:38Yeah.
40:43What are you doing?
40:44Don't boy got the sandwiches, man.
40:45Give me one.
40:46That busboy over there, doesn't that look like your ex-husband?
40:59No, wait.
41:00You gotta see him from the side.
41:01Will you relax and just enjoy your time with me?
41:06Gloria, I'm much too old for you.
41:09Okay, you're older.
41:11But you're the kind of man I want it all with.
41:13Country cottage, towels with our initials on them, fresh-baked muffins every morning.
41:20Initials?
41:21Of course.
41:22R.T., of course.
41:24We have to go.
41:26Steve.
41:27Steve.
41:27Over.
41:30Dad.
41:32I know who the killer is.
41:33I know it is not Cleet Kinley.
41:35It's not?
41:36What was your clue?
41:37Initials.
41:38Perfect.
41:39Wait till you hear mine.
41:39Hi.
42:00Hi.
42:01Miss Gilpin?
42:01Yeah.
42:02I'm Amanda Bentley.
42:03May I come in?
42:05I'm a friend of Ralph Traeger.
42:07Who?
42:10Oh, come now, Miss Gilpin.
42:11Certainly you haven't forgotten who Mr. Traeger is.
42:13As a matter of fact, he mentioned you in his suicide note.
42:18What?
42:19Yes, I found this at his parents' house in Bakersfield.
42:25Come in.
42:33Oh!
42:34What are you doing?
42:35Oh!
42:37What do you think you're doing?
42:40You can't get away with this, you know.
42:41There's no...
42:41Oh!
42:42Oh!
42:43Oh!
42:43Oh!
42:43Oh!
42:47Oh!
42:48Oh!
42:52Oh!
42:52Oh!
42:54Oh!
42:54Oh!
42:57Oh!
42:58Thank you very much for this.
42:59Oh, look, I've torn it.
43:08And again.
43:11You see, my dear, I've worked too long and hard making it look like Ralph wasn't a suicide
43:15to let people know it was.
43:17So he didn't leave a note, see?
43:19It was murder.
43:20But you, on the other hand, who know much too much, will be a suicide.
43:33You're going to shoot yourself.
43:36Yours will be the only prince on the gun.
43:41Police!
43:41Drop the gun!
43:43Now!
43:44Push it over here.
44:01Come in.
44:02You all right?
44:03Huh?
44:03You okay?
44:04I've been better.
44:05Yeah.
44:05What brought you to me?
44:11Figured out how you immobilize your victims without bruises.
44:14Had it bonds using fabric fasteners.
44:17And I figured out who your ex-husband was.
44:20Artie wasn't his name.
44:21It was his monogram, R.T. for Ralph Traeger,
44:24who, sad to say, actually did commit suicide.
44:27But I thought we were trying to prove that these were all murders.
44:29Well, the other two were.
44:30Right, Tanya?
44:31All except your ex-husband.
44:33I should have killed him.
44:34He was hateful.
44:35Wanted me broke.
44:37Never sent the alimony.
44:39But the one thing he couldn't stop?
44:41The divorce agreement made him take out a life insurance policy
44:44with me as a beneficiary.
44:45A million dollar payoff,
44:47and no way he could stop me from collecting.
44:49But he found a way, didn't he?
44:51Well, someone told him about that damn incontestable clause.
44:55Incontestable clause?
44:57Yeah, if he killed himself within the first two years of the policy,
45:00the insurance company wouldn't have to pay.
45:02So he waited one year and 11 months exactly,
45:06and he hung himself, just to spite me.
45:09But the others, Jerry Kitchener and Alex Foreman, were murders?
45:16Definitely.
45:18One real suicide and two murders made to look like suicide?
45:21I don't get it.
45:22Well, Tanya thought if she committed a string of look-alike killings,
45:26that somebody would spot the pattern there
45:28and declare her ex-husband's death a homicide.
45:31And then she'd be able to collect on the insurance policy.
45:34She even had someone to frame for all three murders.
45:37Cleat.
45:38That's why other victims were men you dated.
45:41You're as good at this as your dad.
45:44Guess maybe I was wrong about you.
45:46We all make mistakes.
45:48Well, I think you and Steve had a lot of catching up to do.
45:51You don't mind?
45:52No, not at all.
45:53We can still be friends.
45:54Hey!
45:54I have some...
45:55What the hell is this?
45:56Your private little love nest?
45:58You!
45:58The restaurant guy!
45:59Excuse me!
45:59I'm gonna...
46:00See, Mark, that's what I was trying to tell you.
