01:30Hell of a welcome after four months on tour.
01:34Well, you surprised me.
01:36You usually sneak into Anita's room before I get to see you.
01:40She's always glad to see me.
01:43I'm lucky I didn't give her the night off.
01:45Tara, listen for once.
01:47Remember you told me I was playing Russian roulette with all those groupies?
01:51And that one of these nights I'll spin and the chamber will come up eight.
01:57Is that what happened?
01:59Is that why you're here?
02:01You give a damn?
02:02Why do you think I'm still around?
02:15HIV negative.
02:17You must be very relieved.
02:18This is the first time you've tested?
02:25Why now?
02:26I realized that I didn't stand a chance with you unless I did.
02:36Chance for what?
02:37A family.
02:39A life.
02:39Your timing was always terrific on stage, Nob.
02:48What do you mean?
02:52I'm pregnant.
02:53Who's is he?
02:58Who's the father?
03:00It doesn't matter.
03:02You wouldn't believe me if I told you.
03:04Join me.
03:04Stop it.
03:05You hurt my baby.
03:07Tara.
03:09Don't leave it this way.
03:11You hurt my baby.
03:12I swear to God I'll kill you.
03:23I swear to God I'll kill you.
03:53I swear to God I'll kill you.
04:23Dr. Max Fry, one of the city's leading psychiatrists.
04:26Dr. Fry, it's a pleasure.
04:28Doctor, I have a little overbooked today.
04:30What can I do for you?
04:31Well, I'd like a man who can cut through the ritual and get right to the point.
04:35Instant rapport.
04:36Excellent.
04:37I'll leave you two to hash over the problem.
04:40Let me know how it goes.
04:43Doctor, I have this woman patient.
04:46Severe marital problems.
04:47Her husband's husband is world famous, a rock star.
04:51Unfortunately, to paraphrase Will Rogers, he's never met a groupie he couldn't love.
04:56Last night he threatened his wife.
04:58She's afraid that he might harm her unborn child.
05:01Did you hurt her physically?
05:03No.
05:03Well, then why coming to me?
05:05It sounds more like a matter for the police.
05:07I'm not convinced that she's pregnant.
05:10How far along does she claim to be?
05:12Six, seven weeks.
05:13Well, with her standard test to determine pregnancy, I'll put you in touch with the top OBGYN.
05:17Doctor, my patient refuses to take those tests.
05:20Claims they might impair the fetus.
05:22That's why I need someone with unimpeachable credentials to convince her that they're safe.
05:27That's also why Norman Briggs brought me to you.
05:30Doctor, there's something lurking just under the surface of this conversation.
05:33You want to dig it up?
05:35My patient tells me she hasn't slept with a man in over two years, and I believe her.
05:41How does she account for the pregnancy?
05:42She believes she's been overwhelmed by an alien.
05:46Overwhelmed?
05:47Yes, sexually.
05:48By an alien?
05:49And not the kind that carries a green card.
05:52You mean, from outer space, yes.
06:09Doctor, Mark's one of the majority.
06:12Where's Mrs. Sampson?
06:14Upstairs. She's not feeling well today.
06:16We don't need you anymore, Fry!
06:22Get out!
06:23Or I'll throw you out.
06:25You know, you really need to examine the root causes of your violent tendencies, and they
06:29can get you into a lot of trouble.
06:32What do you suggest?
06:33I pay you $200 for 45 minutes, five days a week, just like I do for Tara.
06:38I'm afraid you'd have to find another therapist.
06:41I can recommend some first-rate people if you're interested.
06:43You're a quack, Fry, turning Tara against me, filling her head with all that junk.
06:51Well, the gravy train stopped running.
06:53Find yourself another annuity.
06:55Oh, what is this?
07:00Hotel California?
07:05What the hell are you doing here?
07:06I waited for you last night.
07:08What do you think you're playing at, Christy?
07:10Coming to my house?
07:11Thinking you were going to make a scene?
07:13Embarrassing me in front of my wife?
07:14No, I needed to see you.
07:16You haven't got the message, have you?
07:18You were fun while you lasted.
07:20Now you're over.
07:21No, don't say that.
07:22I mean, I love you.
07:23You said that you love me.
07:24Get away from me!
07:26Hey, hey, there it is.
07:28I've got a rehearsal.
07:30Any of you here when I get back, I'll have you arrested for trespassing.
07:34Are you all right?
07:38He said he loved me.
07:39I spent the whole tour with him, and he said that he loved me.
07:43Anita, get Miss, uh...
07:45Rowan.
07:46Christy Rowan.
07:47Get Miss Rowan some water.
07:49I think he's dangerous.
07:50I don't think Mrs. Sampson should be allowed to stay in the house.
07:57Did your husband always have that violent streak, Mrs. Sampson?
08:01Not at first.
08:04I don't know.
08:04It all happened so fast for him.
08:07One minute he had this little local group,
08:09and the next he was on the cover of Rolling Stone
08:11and filling 15,000-seat auditoriums.
08:14I guess the only way he could cope with it was...
08:16by smashing things.
08:20Including you.
08:22I have the lab results.
08:24Mrs. Sampson, I'd like to be the first to congratulate you.
08:28You're pregnant.
08:28I know.
08:30We'll, uh, run a sonogram, just to make sure.
08:35Uh, you want the baby?
08:37Well, I don't believe in abortion, if that's what you're asking.
08:40The, uh, father.
08:42You want it?
08:43Well, that was the purpose of his visit.
08:45He, uh...
08:47Or should I say they want a human child?
08:51Do you mind if, uh, Dr. Mentor hears this?
08:59I know what you're thinking, doctor.
09:02That I'm mad as a hatter, crazy as a loon,
09:06ready for a padded cell and shock therapy.
09:08But the fact is, it happened.
09:10I had no control over it.
09:11You were overwhelmed.
09:14Exactly.
09:15Now, this visitor told you that they wanted a human child.
09:20Is that right?
09:22Told you in English?
09:25It wasn't really talk.
09:27He just communicated.
09:28I just felt what he was telling me.
09:32Did he communicate anything else at all?
09:34Yes.
09:35He said that if Noble ever tried to hurt this child,
09:39he would kill him.
09:48Fuck, I didn't know you liked this kind of music.
09:50He doesn't.
09:51Wait, like just, you like being trampled to death or something?
09:54No.
09:54Mrs. Stamps is going to tell her husband
09:56about the child's father after the concert.
09:58I don't want to be alone when she does.
10:01This looks like it.
10:03Yeah.
10:03I mean, you know, right.
10:06Hey.
10:09Who told you that?
10:14Wrong color.
10:16Waldo, I mean, you know me.
10:17I only know tickets.
10:19Noble gave me the ticket, and I lost it somewhere.
10:23Could you just tell him I'm here, please?
10:26Come on, Waldo, let her in.
10:27She's number 2006 and still counting.
10:30Thank you, Baseline.
10:33No problem.
10:34You are the man.
10:35Hey, better not let Noble hear you say that.
10:50No point starting that.
10:52Why?
10:53What did I do wrong?
10:54You found out where I lived.
10:58Come on.
10:59You know that you cannot resist me.
11:03That's it, and all they quit.
11:08Come back later.
11:09No.
11:10No.
11:10She was just leaving.
11:12Look, I may be gone, though,
11:14but I'm not going to be forgotten.
11:26Tonight's my last gig.
11:28Is this about your wife?
11:30She was just a kid.
11:30She worshipped you.
11:33It's like taking candy from a baby.
11:34Well, this candy couldn't wait to tear off her wrapper.
11:39I gotta quit,
11:40because I can't stand looking at you.
11:44You and I have a contract.
11:47Three years, Willie.
11:48Airtight.
11:50Why do you think I spend thousands and thousands on lawyers?
11:53You screw around with me,
11:54you won't be allowed to play with a high school band.
11:57You ruined my marriage.
11:58Well, don't blame me for your inadequacies.
12:02That's it, huh?
12:03You take what you want,
12:05and you just throw it away after that.
12:06What did that for you?
12:08Figured you wanted her back.
12:10Not anymore.
12:14Are you going to let
12:15a dull little girl
12:18ruin your career?
12:24It's showtime, Nob.
12:28Come on, Willie.
12:29It's time to make magic.
12:33It's time to make magic.
12:38Ladies and gentlemen,
12:40please welcome
12:41Nobosansa!
12:43Let's go!
13:13Let's go!
13:43Let's go!
13:45Let's go!
13:47Let's go!
13:49Let's go!
13:51Get in the middle, man.
13:53Get in the middle.
13:55Get in the middle.
13:57Come on, get up. We're getting around.
14:03Is there a doctor in the house?
14:13He's dead.
14:24Did you say you could hear what Mrs. Sampson and her husband are arguing about?
14:28Yeah, it was something about a baby.
14:30Approximately when was that?
14:32It was right before Noah came out on stage here.
14:35Hey, Lieutenant, can you come here, please?
14:37I'm gonna need your statement first thing in the morning.
14:39Could you usually hear the conversations from the Sampson dressing room?
14:42Oh, no. Yeah, he was a screamer.
14:45I get the impression you didn't like him.
14:47I respected him as an artist.
14:49You know, as one myself, I...
14:51I think artists are entitled.
14:53It's a fascinating business you're in.
14:59Jack?
15:00Uh, Jack.
15:02Hi.
15:03Oh, I...
15:04It was very nice seeing you.
15:05Come on.
15:08Long conversation.
15:10Anything interesting?
15:11Could be.
15:13Got her phone number.
15:15Silly me in here.
15:16I thought he was trying to find the murderer.
15:18Oh, um...
15:20She told me that she saw, uh, uh, uh, a groupie named Christie Rowan
15:24flying out of Sampson's dressing room right before the show started.
15:28I wonder if that was before or after Sampson and his wife had that argument about the baby.
15:33I thought she was gonna tell him after the concert.
15:35Maybe she couldn't wait to share the news of her bundle of joy from outer space.
15:39All right, that's it, gang.
15:41Let's wrap it up for tonight.
15:44So, what's the grin for?
15:47Oh, sometimes I love this business.
15:50By 2 o'clock tomorrow I will be sitting around the pool in Palm Springs with Cynthia.
15:54Oh.
15:55You had to call this a suicide, eh?
15:57I just got a statement from the Sampson's maid.
16:00She says she heard Mrs. Sampson threatened to kill her husband last night.
16:03That coupled with the argument that, uh, Willie heard backstage and the fact that she stands to inherit an estate in excess of 30 mil, I'd say we've got our murderer.
16:12What does Mrs. Sampson say?
16:14Oh, that's the best part.
16:15She claims that the baby's father did it.
16:17The father?
16:18Mm-hmm.
16:19To protect the baby.
16:20An alien impregnated me and then killed my husband.
16:23Sounds like she's going for an insanity plea.
16:25What do you think?
16:26Hmm?
16:27She does a couple of years in a country club institution and walks out a very rich woman.
16:31Only she slipped on a banana peel.
16:33She agreed to take a polygraph test.
16:35Just wait till they ask her, did an alien impregnate you?
16:39Yeah.
16:40Did you kill your husband?
16:41That needle will jump right off the paper.
16:43Well, polygraph isn't admissible, is it?
16:46Yeah, but when a suspect flunks one, they're usually rattled enough to start talking deal.
16:50I mean, the DA may come down to second degree or even manslaughter.
16:54Either way, that lady's gonna need time.
16:59Perfume, huh?
17:00Who's the lucky girl?
17:01Uh, Cynthia.
17:03Steve didn't have time to pick it up.
17:04Oh, I thought he'd be in Palm Springs by now.
17:06Yeah, and I thought I'd play center field for the Yankees.
17:09Good night.
17:10Mrs. Sampson's polygraph?
17:11Yeah.
17:12Not a blip, not a squiggle, not even a sharp curve.
17:15You mean she's telling the truth?
17:17According to this, she is.
17:19Steve, people have beaten lie detectors before, huh?
17:22Yeah, but there goes my bargaining chip.
17:24Not to mention my weekend with Cynthia.
17:26Well, you know, maybe, maybe I can help.
17:29How?
17:30I, uh, I got the weekend off.
17:33She's not your type, Jack.
17:35If she has a Paul, she's definitely Jack's type.
17:37Oh, you're a funny broad.
17:39Anyway, where there's a mommy, there's a daddy.
17:42And this guy didn't fly in on the Jupiter Express.
17:45Sooner or later, she'll leave me to him.
17:47You think the daddy killed Samson?
17:49Thirty million will buy a hell of a nursery.
17:51Uh, feel free to fold that into a paper airplane, Jack.
17:55Still love your job?
17:56That's the arena.
17:57Passionately.
17:58Yeah.
17:59There you go.
18:00Don't lose that.
18:01Amanda.
18:02Oh, thank you.
18:03See ya.
18:04So what's this supposed to tell us?
18:06That Tara Samson is a consummate liar or truly disturbed?
18:09We know that Christy Rowan was in the dressing room
18:13right before Samson was stabbed.
18:15What about the band?
18:16How do we know how the band feels about their noble leader?
18:19You know, I'm looking for an excuse to talk to that chick
18:23that plays a keyboard?
18:24I'll check in on Christy.
18:26You know, a groupie's scorn can be a dangerous thing.
18:30How will you know?
18:32Jackie, babe, you're looking at the new Metallica, mama.
18:36Metallica, this.
18:43Excuse me.
18:44Hey, we're gonna be rehearsing here, all right?
18:47Yeah, I know.
18:48I just want to talk to you for a minute, all right?
18:50Oh, you were here yesterday, right?
18:51You were a reporter.
18:52No, I'm, uh, one of the doctors who examined Noble.
18:55Now, I gotta tell you, I'm very surprised that you're still
18:57together after what happened.
19:00Well, I had another tour lined up.
19:02Heavy losses if we bailed.
19:03The promoter said go for it.
19:06With me, frontin' the group.
19:09Nice move.
19:11Did he come again?
19:13Noble dies and you go from the back of the bus
19:17right to the driver's seat.
19:20I'm an artist with these skins.
19:23Besides, we all voted.
19:26How do you mind if I, uh...
19:28Help yourself.
19:29It's hot.
19:31How'd you learn to play like Teddy Wilson?
19:47Yeah.
19:48My old man had a stack of his records.
19:49Played those old 78s so much I wore them out.
19:50Paid my way through college.
19:51Man.
19:52I love that period.
19:5340s?
19:54Yep.
19:55So I had to go back to it.
19:56Hey, what was that, uh...
19:57What's that fight about?
19:58What fight?
19:59Own your hand with Samson.
20:00Who told you we had a fight?
20:01Am I wrong?
20:08Slime couldn't keep his jeans buttoned for nobody.
20:10Even my wife.
20:11So I told him I wasn't gonna stand around like you.
20:12That was the only one of my friends.
20:14I never knew.
20:15You're a man.
20:16I never knew you were a man.
20:18I never knew you were a man.
20:19He was a man.
20:20I never knew you were a man.
20:22He never knew you were a man.
20:24He never knew you were a man.
20:25But he never knew you were a man.
20:26He never knew you were a man.
20:27I told him I wasn't gonna stand around like some dumb potato farmer while he plowed my field.
20:31I was... I was moving on.
20:34Getting another gig.
20:35What stopped you?
20:37Somebody pulled his glove.
20:40Lucky me, huh?
20:44Still with your old lady?
20:46Like hell.
20:48At first I felt sorry for her being used like that, then I wised up.
20:54Hey, thanks for letting me play.
20:56No problem.
20:57No problem.
21:01Hey!
21:03What made you so sure me and Nob had a fight?
21:06Never knew a drummer who didn't tangle with his leader about something.
21:09Figured you were no different.
21:23So, how'd you find me?
21:25You know, anyone hanging out with Noble Sampson's gonna be, what, famous.
21:29Really?
21:30Yeah, I figured after he checked out, he'd want to split, go home.
21:35Kind of need a place to hang for a while.
21:37You're half right.
21:39I'm splitting, but I ain't going home.
21:42Well, come on out with it.
21:44What was it like being with a Noble one?
21:46It was great.
21:47Until we landed here, then he couldn't wait to bag on me.
21:50Dig it.
21:50I know exactly what you mean.
21:51See, you and me, we need to have a union.
21:53Because we give those men some of the best months of our lives and they throw us out like we're
21:58some empty beer bottle or half-eaten buffalo wing.
22:00They even get our frequent flyer mileage.
22:03Well, I've been saved.
22:04Hallelujah.
22:05No, not by the Lord, by Willie.
22:11He's the drummer in Noble's band and I'm moving in with them.
22:15You sure don't waste any time.
22:17Girls gotta look out for a future.
22:19In certain circles, I'm already considered over the hill.
22:22So, who do you think used Noble's back as a dartboard?
22:29Take a number.
22:31You holding me?
22:34What's that supposed to mean?
22:36Oh, you know, the doorman said you were with him right before he died.
22:41Why are you talking to the doorman about me?
22:44Well, how else was I supposed to find you?
22:47Who are you?
22:49I'm just a girl that can't say no to good music.
22:58My new clinic.
23:00Very, very impressive.
23:02I just signed the papers of a non-profit foundation.
23:05Hoping to break ground early next year.
23:09Nice.
23:10Dr. Frey, have you seen Tara Sampson since her husband's murder?
23:15Oh, I, uh, took her home after the police questioned.
23:19I didn't see you.
23:21It made me wait in the auditorium with the rest of the audience.
23:24You know, I thought she was gonna tell her husband the pregnancy test was positive after the concert.
23:29Yeah, so did I. That's why I went with her, moral support.
23:33What happened?
23:34Suddenly she jumped up.
23:36Said she had to do it right away.
23:39I tried to stop her, but I didn't have one of those damn passes so they wouldn't let me backstage.
23:45What did you do?
23:47I went back to my seat like an ineffectual fool and I waited for her.
23:52She joined me just before the curtain went up.
23:55Did you know she took a polygraph test?
23:57I advised her against that.
24:00I...
24:01Well, inadmissible.
24:02It can still be damaging.
24:04She passed.
24:06And they say psychiatry is an imprecise science.
24:12Did she ever say anything about any violent intentions toward her husband?
24:18You know as well as I do that it's a doctor-patient privilege.
24:22She is a suspect in her husband's murder.
24:26The police lieutenant in charge of the investigation thinks she's the only suspect.
24:35What'd I tell you?
24:37Doesn't leave this office for obvious reasons.
24:44When she came to me two years ago, she was depressed.
24:48Barely able to function.
24:50Dependent on an assortment of pills and 100 proof vodka.
24:54She was married to a man who spent nine months of the year out on the road,
24:57happily sampling every illicit delight that came his way.
25:01Under pain of sounding immodest, I worked wonders with her.
25:05I weaned her off the pills.
25:07Got interested in life again.
25:09Until she discovered that her husband was having an affair with their maid right under their own roof.
25:14You can imagine a shock.
25:16Doctor, her desire to be rid of her husband was so, so strong, so overwhelming.
25:23Her subconscious invented the alien.
25:26He was the one who killed noble Samson.
25:29Her hands are clean.
25:31But she is pregnant.
25:33You said she hadn't had sex in over two years.
25:36Doctor, the mind often rules the body.
25:39You're saying it's an hysterical pregnancy.
25:42Only time will tell us that.
25:47Right now, my problem is more immediate.
25:51You see, if I exorcise this alien, and she has to face what she did,
25:59it could push her over the edge and we might never get her back.
26:03Well, if Tara Sampson killed her husband, she'll have to pay for it one way or another.
26:33Well, here she is to leave her with her.
26:36Well, here he is.
26:37Okay.
26:38So, let's go.
26:39Go to Germany and Professor.
26:40Let me pause it.
26:43Thanks for joining.
26:45My name is Professor Pu fasting.
26:48My name is Professor Puig.
26:49My name is Professor Puig.
26:51He is mine.
26:53He is mine.
26:54I want to know you.
26:55I want to know you.
26:56You're afulfilled country.
26:57You're a beautiful paradise.
26:58Oh, my God.
27:28Hello, Daddy.
27:46That is a place through the DMV.
27:49The name is, uh, Johnny Mislowski.
27:52You think they're lovers?
27:53There was no brother-sister kiss.
27:55He calls himself Johnny M.
27:59He sold a couple of songs to the band.
28:01The scuttlebutt has it that, uh, Noble put his name on him.
28:04When one of them went platinum, Johnny M went ballistic.
28:08Well, that's certainly a motive.
28:10Was he at that concert?
28:11Nobody remembers seeing him there.
28:13But if he is the father, at least we can send this alien back to the Twilight Zone where it belongs.
28:18Did you talk to, uh, Mrs. Sampson's psychiatrist?
28:20Yes, I did.
28:21What did he say?
28:22Well, it's not that simple.
28:23There's this doctor-client privilege.
28:26He knows something about the murder, doesn't he?
28:28Sorry.
28:29Oh, come on, Dad.
28:30You know, I can use a court order to open up the file.
28:32What grounds?
28:33If she told him she was going to kill her husband, it's his duty, his legal duty to report it.
28:37Okay, and I did not betray any professional competences.
28:41I know.
28:42I'm a hell of a cop.
28:44Jackpot.
28:45Willie, the drummer, and Christy, the groupie, are now an item.
28:49One of the musicians told me that they saw them in Sampson's dressing room together the night he died.
28:53And both failed to mention that.
28:55Now, with, uh, Sampson out of the way, guess what?
28:58Willie takes over the band.
29:00And Christy doesn't have to worry about sleeping in doorways anymore.
29:02Two more solid suspects.
29:04Worth investigating, isn't it?
29:05My money's where it's always been.
29:08The widow Sampson.
29:09Steve, you'll hold off on the court order for a little while.
29:11I'm sorry, Dad.
29:12I can't.
29:13See you.
29:35Uh, Mrs. Sampson, please.
29:45Is she expecting you?
29:46Uh, no.
29:48I'll see if she's available.
29:49I'd like to speak to you first.
29:51Uh, Anita, isn't it?
29:52Yes.
29:53What about?
29:54How long have you worked with Sampson?
29:57Almost three years.
29:58You've been happy here?
29:59I'm a maid, Dr. Sloan.
30:00I clean up after people.
30:02If dirty dishes and piles of laundry bring happiness, then I'm ecstatic.
30:07Well, from what I understand, your job consisted of just a little more than that, especially when Mr. Sampson was alive.
30:14Would you like something?
30:15Coffee?
30:16Iced tea?
30:17What did you expect to get from the affair?
30:20Weekends off.
30:21Did you fantasize that maybe you might be the next Mrs. Noble Sampson?
30:26And when you realized that that was not gonna happen, you got angry?
30:30Angry enough to kill him?
30:31He was the one who came scratching at my door after she was asleep.
30:35He was the one who begged to be with me because I gave him something none of the others gave him.
30:41Indifference.
30:42I didn't care how famous he was, how much money he had, how many women he'd slept with.
30:47He was like a guilty little boy, ashamed of what he had because he felt he didn't deserve it.
30:52And I agreed with him.
30:54That's why he kept coming back.
30:56Where were you the night he died?
30:59Where I always am, in my room.
31:02Alone.
31:03Anita, I'll be going out for a while.
31:07Dr. Sloan.
31:09Yes, I was hoping to speak to you.
31:11Now?
31:12I have some news.
31:15Of course.
31:15I'll be in my room.
31:20Alone.
31:29You passed the polygraph test.
31:31Are you surprised?
31:32Not anymore.
31:33Careful, doctor.
31:33They'll be calling you crazy next.
31:36Mrs. Sampson.
31:37Tara.
31:38After all those tests you put me through, I feel a little funny standing on ceremony.
31:42Can I get you something?
31:42No, thank you.
31:44You know, what made you decide to tell Noble about the baby's father before the concert?
31:50You told me you were going to wait a little afterwards so you wouldn't spoil his performance.
31:53Dr. Fry suggested that I get it over with.
31:57Dr. Fry?
31:58He saw how agitated I was, and he didn't think I'd be able to make it through the next few hours.
32:04Did he go backstage with you?
32:07No.
32:08He didn't have a pass.
32:09So I sent him back to his seat and told him I'd be all right.
32:14Oh, thank you.
32:20Tara.
32:22Did you see the baby's father backstage?
32:25No.
32:27But I felt his presence.
32:29And you still insist he killed your husband?
32:31I warned you he would.
32:32Yeah, bet you did.
32:33But why would an extraterrestrial, somebody who is so sophisticated they can fly through space, use a kitchen knife?
32:42Why don't you hear a kitchen knife?
32:44You'll have to ask him that.
32:47Your husband's unfaithfulness is pretty well known.
32:51Did you ever get the desire to get even with him, pay him back by having an affair yourself?
32:57Never.
32:58So you weren't seeing anyone at all while your husband was on tour?
33:03No.
33:05This poor Johnny Maslowski's figment of someone's imagination.
33:10You know about Johnny?
33:13So do the police.
33:22We, uh, we were everything to each other.
33:26Johnny and I.
33:30Everything but lovers.
33:33I couldn't.
33:37As much as I wanted to give myself to him, I couldn't, not as long as I was married to Noble.
33:42But if Noble were out of the way...
33:45Thank you for stopping by, doctor.
33:52Thank you for stopping by, Mr. Maslowski.
33:54You know, I've, uh, I've never been in a police station before.
33:59Well, it's just a drafty building with bad plumbing.
34:02Sit down.
34:08Mr. Maslowski, you have the right to remain silent.
34:13What?
34:14Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
34:17What are you talking about?
34:18You also have the right to an attorney.
34:20If you can't afford one, one will be provided for you.
34:22What is this all about?
34:23You know a woman named Tara Sampson?
34:25Yes.
34:25Did you know Noble Sampson?
34:26Yes.
34:26I, I, I, I sold him some songs that I composed.
34:29Did Tara kill Noble Sampson?
34:31What?
34:32Would you like to make a statement regarding your relationship with Tara Sampson?
34:35Congratulations.
34:43Congratulations.
34:43You've made the front page.
34:45I did?
34:46You, Jack, and Amanda standing over the body of Noble Sampson.
34:51You want me to cut it out and start a scrapbook?
34:53It's a little morbid, don't you think, Lawrence?
34:55Well, you don't have a shot of the three of you at a murder scene.
34:59You're a treacherous weasel.
35:01Should I call security?
35:03What's all right?
35:04What kind of professional are you?
35:06I tell you something in confidence and you run straight to the lieutenant in charge of
35:10the investigation who just happens to be your son.
35:13I didn't tell Steve anything.
35:14You tell him enough for him to request a court order to open my files on Tara Sampson.
35:19Did she tell you she wanted to kill her husband?
35:21That is privileged information.
35:24You're the only one who knows whether that woman is truly disturbed or a cold-blooded killer.
35:30I have to protect my patient.
35:32As her psychiatrist, I'm having her committed to a private sanitarium where you and your cop's
35:36son can't get at her.
35:38Does she agree to that?
35:39She doesn't have to.
35:40I've been appointed her conservator.
35:43Dr. Fry, is this your way of protecting a patient or a murderer?
35:47Dr. Fry, did you ever threaten to kill your husband?
36:17No.
36:18Did you ever say you wished you were dead?
36:20No.
36:21Well, you obviously didn't love him anymore.
36:24What were you going to do?
36:24Stay with Noble and continue this platonic relationship with Johnny Maslowski?
36:29It was platonic.
36:32Well, you know, there are blood tests to determine the father's identity.
36:35You think Johnny will take one of those?
36:37Yes.
36:40I was going to divorce Noble and marry Johnny.
36:43But when I became pregnant, I didn't know what to do.
36:48Now you're telling me that my baby's going to be born in prison or in a padded cell?
36:54Tara?
36:56Tara, where are you?
36:58Johnny?
37:00Johnny, what are you doing here?
37:01It's going to be all right.
37:02I'm not going to let them put you away.
37:04Where's Lieutenant Sloan?
37:05His office said he'd be here.
37:06Hasn't arrived yet.
37:07What do you want with Lieutenant Sloan?
37:09I'm going to confess.
37:11Johnny, no!
37:12I killed Noble.
37:14How?
37:15With a knife I took from this house.
37:20Why are you saying that?
37:22How did you get backstage?
37:24What kind of question is that?
37:26There was a guard on the door.
37:27How did you get past him?
37:29I had a backstage pass.
37:31What color was it?
37:32What?
37:33The pass.
37:34What color was it?
37:35Green.
37:35Green.
37:37The passes that night were orange.
37:40You know, Johnny, if you are the killer, you're a pretty clever one.
37:43That phonic confession might just throw people off the track.
37:45Well, I'd be willing to repeat it.
37:47This time with the right color.
37:48He wasn't anywhere near the theater that night.
37:51He was in his apartment waiting for me.
37:54Anyone see you there?
37:56No.
37:57Because I was backstage sending Noble where he belonged.
38:01Straight to hell.
38:02Johnny, why are you saying this?
38:05It's not helping anyone.
38:07Least of all me.
38:09If they sent you to jail, I wouldn't want to live.
38:22Your colleague, Dr. Fry, has some clout downtown.
38:27He argued that Mrs. Sampson was incompetent to stand trial at this time, and the judge bought
38:30it.
38:31You still want to confess, Mr. Maslowski?
38:34No.
38:35He doesn't.
38:37I was able to get a copy of Noble Sampson's will.
38:41You wind up with a bulk of the estate, but he did make one interesting bequest.
38:46On page 10, paragraph 7, subsection E.
38:51And to prove my songs will live long after I'm gone, I leave all royalties for my compositions
38:57to Anita Henry.
39:02Well, congratulations, Anita.
39:05Your psychology worked?
39:06I didn't realize that you were practicing psychology with Noble.
39:12She played on his insecurities, on his deep feeling that he really didn't deserve his success.
39:17She made him desperate to prove his worth.
39:20And now when you cash all those royalty checks, I guess he'll prove it over again, won't he?
39:24Those royalties are worth millions.
39:28Well, would this be an inappropriate time to give my notice?
39:31Where were you the night Noble Sampson was murdered?
39:35In my room, watching Leave it to Beaver reruns.
39:38Show me.
39:40Sure.
39:41You can help me pack.
39:46Miss Sampson, did you have a will?
39:49Yes, I left everything to Noble.
39:51And if he predeceased you?
39:53Various foundations and charities.
39:56Do you have a copy of it here?
39:58Yeah, in the office.
39:59Yeah, see it?
40:00I don't understand.
40:03Why?
40:04Well, it may scratch a little itch I've been having.
40:07Look what I found.
40:10In the happy housekeeper's room.
40:12So I was backstage, so what?
40:15Why'd you lie, Anita?
40:17Noble was killed backstage.
40:19I inherited millions.
40:20If I hadn't lied, I would have been the obvious suspect.
40:22But I didn't kill him.
40:24Convince me downtown.
40:25Come on.
40:30Thank God it's over.
40:36Not quite.
40:38You still may be committed.
40:42Thank God it's over.
40:46Not quite.
40:46You still may be committed.
40:48Okay, everybody.
41:00Would you take your places, please?
41:05Okay, everybody, would you, uh, take your places, please?
41:17You all know where you belong.
41:22Uh, uh, Nita, where are you?
41:28Okay, Steve, why don't you sit where I was?
41:31And, uh, Johnny, since you weren't officially here,
41:35sit on the other side of Amanda, where Jack was.
41:38And, Dr. Fry, you were in your seat waiting for Mrs. Sampson to come back.
41:42And, Jack, you are, uh, Noble Sampson.
41:45Always wanted to be a rock and roller.
41:47Can I use his guitar?
41:49Oh, yeah, go ahead.
41:51Enjoy.
41:53Now, you were backstage in the dressing room.
41:56You and Tara are having a heated argument about her child.
42:00Great, we've narrowed it down to three people who are going to stab him.
42:03Okay, argument's over, and you come out,
42:06and you walk right out to, uh, uh, dead center stage, if you'll excuse the expression.
42:13Wrong.
42:14Uh, excuse me?
42:16That's not what he did.
42:19How do you know?
42:20I was watching him.
42:22Oh.
42:24Okay.
42:24We're, uh, we're gonna take it from the top.
42:27Show business expression.
42:29Now, you, you tell us what Noble did.
42:31Uh, he, uh, he walked past Christie and then stopped.
42:39Why?
42:41Why?
42:42I saw somebody.
42:45Where?
42:47Over there.
42:49What was Noble's reaction to that?
42:51Mm, surprise.
42:53Happy surprise?
42:54No.
42:55Uh-uh.
42:56Angry surprise?
42:57Yeah, you got it.
43:00Ah.
43:01So what did he do then?
43:03Uh, he walked behind the flat over there.
43:07No, no, no, no, not that one.
43:09The one downstage of it.
43:15Could you see who was behind that flat?
43:18No.
43:20Well, there were only two people here whose presence would have angered Noble Sampson.
43:24Dr. Fry and Johnny Maslowski.
43:31Dr. Fry, would you take your place on stage, please?
43:34Uh, you, uh, you forget.
43:36I couldn't get back there.
43:37I didn't have a pass.
43:39Oh, yes, you did, Doctor.
43:41When Noble knocked the purse out of Christie's hand and you so kindly picked up the fallen items,
43:46you palmed her pass.
43:48That's why I couldn't find it.
43:51The knife was easy to get.
43:52Your regular presence in that house.
43:59That's a charming scenario, Dr. Sloan.
44:03But isn't motive usually required?
44:08What's the name of your foundation, Doctor?
44:10The one that's going to break ground for your clinic next year?
44:13Serendipity.
44:15Serendipity?
44:18You never told me that was the name of your foundation.
44:20He said that he was going to use the money to investigate alien visitations to prove that they really happened.
44:27You took a very unhappy and disturbed woman whose mind was clouded with alcohol, with pills, and you used her.
44:36You didn't try to cure those delusions.
44:38You used them.
44:38You encouraged them to the point where she trusted only you.
44:43Trusted you enough to leave almost everything she had to you.
44:46Well, before you could get your hands on it, you had to get rid of Noble.
44:53It's a fanciful theory, gentlemen.
44:55But without proof, that's all it is.
44:58And if you repeat it, I'll sue you for slander.
45:02Take a look at the picture on the front page of this paper.
45:05Jack, Amanda, and me standing over the body of Noble Samson.
45:08If you look closely, you see someone standing in the background there.
45:13Someone who looks very much like you, Doctor.
45:23I'm sure when the police lab blows it up, we'll have a positive ID.
45:29Hey, what do you say, Doc? Want to do a little singing?
45:32We got the backup for you.
45:33I'm hungry.
45:44Chomping down that chocolate cake, huh?
45:46Hello, Stan.
45:47Hey, Mark.
45:49Well, I took a sonogram of Tara's baby.
45:51How's it look?
45:52I have a sonogram, and I don't have a baby.
45:56Uh-oh.
45:57Well, the tests were wrong.
45:59How about the first time that's happened?
46:01Of course, Tara believes that the aliens decided
46:04that humans weren't ready for the experiment
46:05and, uh, removed the baby.
46:08That woman needs a lot of help.
46:09Well, we're getting it for her.
46:11Well, we're getting it for her.
46:19Well, we're getting it for her.
