ARE YOU THERE, NIGEL?

MA'AM, I'M SORRY, NO CELL PHONES ALLOWED IN THE HOSPITAL.

THIS IS AN EMERGENCY. NIGEL?

How's Henry doing?

I DON'T KNOW, I HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO HIS ROOM YET.

LOOK, DID YOU REACH THAT LAB IN DALLAS?

I'M ON HOLD FOR FIVE MINUTES NOW.

A MAN MAY BE DYING. ARE THEY CLUED INTO THAT?

THEY'RE TRYING TO CONNECT ME TO THEIR EXPERT,

BUT HE HASN'T ANSWERED HIS PAGE.

WE KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH HENRY.

WHAT WE NEED IS A WAY TO REVERSE HIS CONDITION.

I-I'll get that information, Jordan.

I'll be speaking to the man at any moment.

HENRY.

(Doctor) CLEAR!

HE NEEDS OUR HELP, NIGEL.

CLEAR!

(Lily) JORDAN.

I JUST HAD THIS UGLY PREMONITION THAT I'M NEVER GOING HOME.

I KNOW YOU JUST PULLED A DOUBLE SHIFT,

BUT CAN I RUN A SITUATION BY YOU?

CAN YOU DO IT BETWEEN HERE AND THE ELEVATOR?

OKAY.

UM, THIS WEIRD GUY CAME IN

LOOKING FOR HIS MISSING FRIEND.

NOW, WHEN YOU SAY WEIRD...

UH, HE'S A LITTLE OUT THERE.

ANYWAY, HIS FRIEND'S BODY ISN'T HERE,

BUT HE WON'T LEAVE UNTIL HE TALKS TO SOMEONE IN CHARGE.

WELL, LUCKILY FOR ME, THAT WOULD BE GARRET.

UH, THE THING IS, GARRET'S NOT HERE.

HE GOT SOME CALL FROM HIS EX-WIFE AND HE TOOK OFF.

[elevator rings]

SO CLOSE, YET SO FAR AWAY.

(Man) IS SHE THE ONE I NEED TO TALK TO?

UH, DR. CAVANAUGH, THIS IS, UM--

MY NAME IS HENRY ROSS...

AND I'M HERE TO STOP A MURDER.

[suspenseful rock music]

* *

(The Knickerbockers) * LIES LIES *

* YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT YOU'LL BE TRUE *

* LIES LIES *

* THAT'S ALL I EVER GET FROM YOU * *

LET'S TAKE THIS FROM THE TOP, WHY DON'T WE?

UH, IS THIS ABOUT YOUR MISSING FRIEND?

FRANK. FRANK ARNETT.

I'M CONCERNED. I'M VERY, VERY CONCERNED.

HE'S BEEN GONE FOR OVER 24 HOURS.

I HAVE TO FIND HIM.

THIS IS FRANK.

WE USUALLY WORK FROM PHOTOGRAPHS.

I THINK I REALLY CAPTURED HIS LIKENESS.

HE'S 32, HE'S GOT BLACK HAIR, BROWN EYES.

AND WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT HE'S IN DANGER?

FRANK'S A CHEMIST INVOLVED IN SECRET RESEARCH

FOR A DEFENSE CONTRACTOR.

HE WAS VERY SCARED.

HE SAID PEOPLE WANTED HIM DEAD.

WHAT PEOPLE?

GOVERNMENT AGENTS IS WHAT HE THOUGHT.

GOVERNMENT AGENTS.

UH, DID YOU FILE A POLICE REPORT?

YES, WITH A DETECTIVE ROHRBACH.

AND LET ME TELL YOU, HE HAS A VERY DISBELIEVING ATTITUDE.

I ALSO DON'T SEE HOW THE M.E.'S OFFICE CAN HELP YOU.

NOW, WE WILL BE SURE TO CONTACT YOU--

FRANK AND I PLAYED CHESS IN THE PARK

EVERY SATURDAY FOR THE LAST 3 1/2 YEARS.

MR. ROSS--

LAST SATURDAY, FRANK DIDN'T SHOW UP.

THAT'S NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE.

LAST NIGHT I GOT A CALL FROM HIM.

HE SAID HE WAS SICK,

THAT THEY HAD GOTTEN TO HIM.

HE ASKED ME TO MEET HIM AT THE HOSPITAL.

WHEN I GOT TO THE HOSPITAL,

THEY SAID THEY HAD NO PATIENT NAMED FRANK ARNETT.

DR. CAVANAUGH,

HAVEN'T YOU EVER BELIEVED IN A TRUTH OUT THERE

THAT NOBODY ELSE CARES ABOUT?

PLEASE HELP ME FIND FRANK BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

[doorbell ringing]

OH, GARRET. THANKS FOR COMING.

WHOSE PLACE IS THIS, MAGGIE?

OR DID YOU JUST WIN THE LOTTERY?

[sighs] WHAT'S THE MATTER?

(Woman) IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME, GARRET.

JOAN.

I-I WASN'T SURE QUITE HOW TO HANDLE THIS,

AND MAGGIE THOUGHT MAYBE YOU COULD HELP.

IS IT MARTIN?

(Garret) MY GOD, JOAN, WHAT HAPPENED?

WELL, WE, UH...

WE STAYED IN LAST NIGHT.

WE ORDERED THAI, WATCHED A MOVIE.

HE MUST'VE COME DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT

TO GET HIS PILLS.

I WOKE UP THIS MORNING,

AND I FOUND HIM.

IT WAS HIS HEART.

WE ALL KNEW IT WAS JUST A MATTER OF TIME.

I THOUGHT HE TOOK CARE OF HIMSELF.

SINCE WHEN DID MARTIN HEWITT DO THAT?

DOCTORS MAKE THE WORST PATIENTS.

DID YOU CALL 911?

NO, THE PARAMEDICS WOULD JUST CALL THE POLICE.

THE POLICE WOULD COME AND, AND CALL YOU.

I DIDN'T WANT STRANGERS LOOKING AT HIM,

MILLING AROUND.

MARTIN SHOULD BE TREATED WITH DIGNITY.

CAN'T YOU HELP HER, GARRET?

HEY, NIGE.

I'VE GOT A FAVOR.

THIS PERTAINS TO HENRY ROSS, NO DOUBT.

OH, DID YOU TALK TO HIM?

ACTUALLY, HE DID ALL THE TALKING.

THE MAN HAS NO FRIEND NAMED FRANK,

IF YOU ASK ME.

YEAH. YEAH, YOU'RE PROBABLY RIGHT.

BUT HE JUST SEEMED SO DESPERATE.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT FRANK ARNETT EVEN EXISTS.

AND I WAS HOPING MAYBE YOU COULD HELP ME.

I'M AFRAID I MUST DECLINE.

THAT'S SO UNLIKE YOU, NIGEL.

THEREIN LIES THE PROBLEM.

YOU HEAR THE RANTINGS OF A PARANOID FREAK,

AND, UH, I'M THE FIRST PERSON THAT COMES TO MIND.

NO, IT'S ONLY BECAUSE OF YOUR GREAT TALENT

FOR FINDING OUT INFORMATION.

WELL, I'M TIRED OF BEING

EVERYONE'S INTERNET LACKEY AROUND HERE.

SINCE I CAME IN THIS MORNING,

LILY'S ASKED ME TO HELP HER WITH HER EMAIL ACCOUNT,

DR. MACY WANTS ME TO TROUBLESHOOT HIS DSL LINE,

AND NOW THIS.

I WAS HIRED AS A CRIMINALIST,

NOT A HACKER.

I-I, I WANT, I WANT RESPECT.

I-I WANT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY

A-AS A PROFESSIONAL.

I SAW THAT.

I SAW THAT. YOU'RE LAUGHING.

N--I'M NOT. I'M NOT, I SWEAR.

THIS IS PRECISELY WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT HERE.

YOU, YOU WANNA CHASE AFTER THIS FRANK ARNETT, JORDAN?

YOU CAN BLOODY WELL DO IT YOURSELF.

(Maggie) DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN MARTIN INVITED US

TO THAT CONFERENCE IN SEATTLE?

IT WAS THE FIRST TIME WE EVER FLEW FIRST CLASS.

YEAH. FOUR OF US HIKING UP MT. RAINIER.

THAT VIEW, IT WAS LIKE LOOKING DOWN FROM HEAVEN.

[sighs]

THEY WERE SUCH A GREAT FIT.

I CAN'T EVEN PICTURE ONE WITHOUT THE OTHER.

NONE OF IT SEEMS REAL.

I MEAN, HE WAS MY FRIEND, AND I JUST...

LET HIM DRIFT AWAY.

OH, DON'T BLAME YOURSELF.

WHEN WE SPLIT UP, SO DID A LOT OF OTHER THINGS.

YEAH, I GUESS. [elevator rings]

GARRET, DON'T BE A STRANGER.

WE DON'T NEED TO GO THROUGH THIS ALONE.

OKAY.

DR. WINSLOW, I WANTED TO TALK TO YOU

ABOUT THE HEWITT CASE. OH, I GOT A FULL LOAD.

I DON'T KNOW IF I'LL GET TO HIM TODAY. WELL, HE'S A PRIORITY.

I'D LIKE HIS BODY RELEASED TO THE FAMILY

BY DAY'S END. THAT MIGHT NOT BE POSSIBLE.

WHAT IF I HAVE TO DO A FULL EXAM? WON'T BE NECESSARY.

JUST LOOK HIM OVER AND SIGN HIM OUT.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND. I EXAMINED THE BODY AT THE SCENE.

AND THOSE RECORDS DOCUMENT

A LIFELONG HISTORY OF HEART TROUBLE.

HE DIED OF A HEART ATTACK.

WELL, WHAT KIND OF AN M.E. WOULD I BE

IF I JUST TOOK YOUR WORD FOR IT?

IT'S OPEN-AND-SHUT, DR. WINSLOW.

JUST LOOK HIM OVER, SIGN HIM OUT, AND DON'T CUT HIM.

WELL, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, SIR,

IF THAT'S HOW YOU WANT IT DONE,

WHY DON'T YOU JUST DO THE EXAM YOURSELF?

BECAUSE I TOLD YOU TO DO IT.

(Nurse) SORRY, DR, CAVANAUGH, AS YOU CAN SEE,

NO FRANK ARNETT WAS ADMITTED LAST NIGHT.

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE.

THANKS FOR CHECKING.

OH--WAIT. EXCUSE ME?

UH, YOU HAVE A JOHN SMITH HERE.

AGE 32, BLACK HAIR, BROWN EYES.

CAN YOU TELL ME WHO TREATED HIM?

UH, LOOKS LIKE HE WAS SEEN BY DR. ERKHART.

THAT'S HIM, RIGHT DOWN THERE.

THANKS.

BOY, AM I GLAD TO SEE YOU.

YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH YOUR LOOKING INTO THIS

MEANS TO ME, DR. CAVANAUGH.

MR. ROSS, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

WELL, THE SAME THING YOU ARE.

I-I HAVEN'T FOUND OUT WHAT HAPPENED TO FRANK,

BUT SINCE I BORROWED THIS OUTFIT,

I'VE BEEN GETTING A LOT MORE COOPERATION.

YOU CAN'T JUST GO AROUND IMPERSONATING A DOCTOR.

ISN'T THAT WHAT MOST DOCTORS DO?

DOES HE KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT FRANK?

PLEASE, GO HOME, AND I WILL HANDLE THIS.

IF HE HAS SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT FRANK,

I NEED TO HEAR IT.

EXCUSE ME, DR. ERKHART.

HI, MY NAME IS JORDAN CAVANAUGH.

I'M WITH THE M.E.'S OFFICE.

MM-HMM.

UH, AND I'M DR. ROSS.

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

I WANTED TO ASK YOU ABOUT A PATIENT

YOU TREATED LAST NIGHT,

UH, JOHN SMITH.

IS THIS THE MAN, DOCTOR?

THAT'S HIM. IS HE DEAD?

WHY WOULD YOU ASK THAT?

YOU JUST SAID YOU WERE FROM THE M.E.'S OFFICE.

SHE IS, I'M NOT. UH-HUH.

IN ANY CASE, UH, MR. SMITH CAME IN

COMPLAINING OF A SEVERE RASH ON HIS NECK.

UH, HE SEEMED TO THINK THERE WAS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG.

AND WAS THERE SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG?

I DON'T KNOW.

HE LEFT BEFORE I COULD FIND OUT.

HE LEFT? WHY DID HE LEAVE?

HE SEEMED TO FEEL THERE WERE PEOPLE AFTER HIM.

THAT IF HE STAYED HERE, THEY'D FIND HIM.

YOU KNOW, WE HEAR THAT KIND OF THING ALL THE TIME.

WAS HE ACTUALLY TELLING THE TRUTH?

WELL, IT CERTAINLY LOOKS THAT WAY.

WHEN YOU SAID HEWITT,

I DIDN'T REALIZE YOU MEANT MARTIN HEWITT. YEAH.

HIS FATHER DIED YOUNG OF A HEART ATTACK.

I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS HE ACHIEVED SO MUCH.

HE KNEW HE WAS RACING THE CLOCK.

HE WROTE THE BOOK ON LAPROSCOPIC SURGICAL TECHNIQUE.

DIRECTOR AT N.I.H., ADVISOR TO CLINTON.

IS THERE ANYTHING THE GUY DIDN'T DO?

HE DIDN'T MAKE IT TO 60.

WE MET IN MED SCHOOL.

HE WAS A FEW YEARS OLDER.

HE'D ALREADY GOTTEN A LAW DEGREE.

YOU WENT TO MED SCHOOL WITH HIM?

NO, I MEAN, IT'S JUST VERY DIFFERENT CAREER PATHS.

THANKS FOR POINTING THAT OUT.

DR. MACY, I DIDN'T MEAN TO SAY-- IS THAT YOUR REPORT?

YEAH, UH...

BLOOD SAMPLE SHOWED SPIKES OF TROPONIN AND CKMB.

SO, YOU WERE RIGHT. HE DIED OF A HEART ATTACK.

WHAT'S THIS?

INTAKE PHOTOS FROM WHEN HE WAS PROCESSED.

NO, NO, I'M TALKING ABOUT THESE LIVIDITY MARKS ON HIS BACK.

FROM THE SURFACE HE WAS LYING ON.

HE WAS LYING ON A HARDWOOD FLOOR.

(Winslow) WELL, I DON'T KNOW.

I'M SURE THERE'S SOME EXPLANATION.

I MEAN, LIKE YOU SAID, IT'S OPEN-AND-SHUT, RIGHT?

[computer critical stop chime]

SO WHAT YOU WORKING ON?

OH, YOU KNOW, CORONER'S STUFF.

YOU'RE TRYING TO FIND FRANK ARNETT, EH?

NOT TO WORRY, NIGE, I WILL NOT ROPE YOU INTO THIS.

HOW ARE YOU-- HOW'RE YOU GOING ABOUT IT?

KEYWORD SEARCHES MOSTLY.

THERE ARE MORE EFFICIENT WAYS.

WELL, WHATEVER, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME.

[computer error noise]

OH, GOD!

LOOK, I KNOW I DREW A LINE IN THE SAND EARLIER,

BUT THERE'S EXCEPTIONS TO EVERY RULE.

[computer error noise]

PLEASE EVACUATE THE KEYBOARD AREA.

IT WAS SO PAINFUL TO WATCH YOU FLOUNDER,

I WAS ACTUALLY PREPARED TO BEG.

YEAH, SO WAS I.

[chuckles]

OKAY, UH, FRANK ARNETT'S VEHICLE HISTORY REPORT.

'98 MUSTANG.

WAIT, PREVIOUS OWNER REPORTED IT STOLEN...

TWO YEARS AGO.

THAT DOESN'T REALLY HELP US.

YEAH, BUT THE POLICE SAY, THEY FOUND THE CAR

BECAUSE AUTOTRAK HAD BEEN INSTALLED.

THE MUSTANG WAS EQUIPPED WITH A GPS VEHICLE RECOVERY SYSTEM.

YOU THINK THE GPS IS STILL ACTIVE?

WHY DON'T WE JUST SNEAK IN THE BACK DOOR

OF THE AUTOTRAK WEBSITE,

TYPE IN THE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER,

AND FIND OUT.

VOILA.

THERE'S HIS CAR.

RIGHT THERE, ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF BURLINGTON.

IT'S NOT MOVING.

DOESN'T EVEN LOOK LIKE IT'S ON A ROAD.

[tracking device beeps]

(Nigel) LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE DROVE THROUGH THE GUARDRAIL.

THE LATE, GREAT FRANK ARNETT.

[door opens]

OH, DETECTIVE ROHRBACH.

NOTHING LIKE A DEAD BODY TO MAKE YOU SIT UP

AND TAKE NOTICE.

I MADE A JUDGMENT CALL.

I THOUGHT HENRY ROSS WAS NUTS.

I STILL DO.

THAT'S A PRETTY BOLD STATEMENT,

CONSIDERING THAT ROSS SAID THAT ARNETT WAS IN DANGER,

AND HERE HE IS.

NOTHING SAYS THIS WAS ANYTHING BUT A CAR ACCIDENT.

NO SKID MARKS, NO DAMAGE TO THE CAR,

SHOWING IT WAS RUN OFF THE ROAD.

SO WHAT, MR. ARNETT JUST DECIDED

TO TAKE HIS CAR FOUR-WHEELING?

LET'S CUT TO THE CHASE, DR. CAVANAUGH.

HAVE YOU FOUND ANY EVIDENCE OF HOMICIDE?

I WILL ONCE I DO THE AUTOPSY.

I'LL WAIT BY THE PHONE.

YOU'RE A REAL SMART-ASS.

I RESPECT THAT.

OH, HEY, NIGE.

ARE THOSE MR. ARNETT'S X-RAYS?

JORDAN, YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT LAST NIGHT

WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN.

OH, GOD, WHAT'RE WE TALKING ABOUT HERE?

MY NEW IMAGE IN THE WORKPLACE.

NO MORE NIGEL-THE-COMPUTER-JOCKEY.

OKAY, I WAS SWEPT UP IN THE MOMENT.

BUT NOW, IT'S TRULY DONE.

GOOD TO KNOW.

ALL RIGHT, MEANWHILE, I'VE FOUND SOMETHING INTRIGUING

IN MR. ARNETT'S PERSONAL EFFECTS.

HMM, A BLANK CHECK?

A REDEMPTION CHECK FOR A FIXED INCOME MUTUAL FUND

WITH A $5 MILLION MINIMUM BALANCE.

DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING.

TANTALIZING, NO?

A WEALTHY AND MYSTERIOUS SCIENTIST,

A POSSIBLE CONSPIRACY,

LABYRINTHINE IN ITS COMPLEXITY.

ARE YOU SURE THESE ARE HIS X-RAYS?

YEAH, POSITIVE, WHY?

I FIGURED HE DIED FROM INTERNAL INJURIES,

BUT I MEAN, LOOK AT ALL THESE FRACTURES.

WELL, IT'S NOT UNUSUAL FOR A CAR WRECK, IS IT?

BUT THERE'S NO BRUISING OR HEMORRHAGING, WHICH MEANS...

HE MUST'VE BEEN DEAD BEFORE THE CAR CRASH.

JOAN, SOMETHING'S COME UP.

ABOUT WHAT?

ABOUT THE CIRCUMSTANCES IN MARTIN'S DEATH.

YOU SAID YOU TWO WERE HOME ALL NIGHT,

AND YOU FOUND HIM IN THE KITCHEN THE NEXT MORNING.

WHY ARE WE REVISITING THIS, GARRET?

WELL, LIVIDITY MARKS INDICATE THAT MARTIN WAS LYING ON FABRIC,

OR UPHOLSTERY WHEN HE DIED.

WHAT I TOLD YOU IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED.

A WOODEN FLOOR WOULDN'T LEAVE THOSE MARKS.

WE'VE BEEN FRIENDS FOR OVER 20 YEARS.

ARE YOU SAYING WHAT I THINK YOU'RE SAYING?

I NEED TO DO A FULL AUTOPSY.

YOU TOLD ME YOU WOULDN'T.

COME ON, JOAN, I NEED TO LOOK INTO THIS.

IT'S NOT WHAT I WANT, NOT WHAT MARTIN WOULD WANT.

PLEASE, LET IT GO.

HERE YOU GO. OH, THANK YOU.

UH, SWEETHEART, THOSE ARE SO BAD FOR YOU.

IT'S MY LAST ONE, I SWEAR.

I PROMISED HER I'D QUIT. OLD HABITS...

YEAH, THIS WHOLE THING WITH FRANK JUST HAS HIM SO UPSET.

WELL, I'M HOPING I'LL HAVE THIS ALL SORTED OUT,

UH, WITH YOUR HUSBAND'S HELP.

MY HELP? I CAN'T HELP YOU.

I NEED TO KNOW HOW FRANK DIED.

[sighs] WELL, DIDN'T YOU DO AN AUTOPSY?

YEAH, IT WAS INCONCLUSIVE.

HIS ORGANS, HIS BLOOD, EVERYTHING WAS PERFECTLY NORMAL.

YOU SEE?

THESE PEOPLE CAN KILL WITHOUT LEAVING A TRACE.

LOOK, THEY LEFT A TRACE. WE JUST HAVEN'T FOUND IT YET.

AT THIS POINT, I THINK MAYBE YOU SHOULD STOP LOOKING.

HENRY, I'M GONNA SEE THIS THROUGH.

NOW THE RASH THAT FRANK HAD MAY HAVE BEEN A REACTION

TO SOMETHING HE WAS EXPOSED TO...

LIKE A TOXIN.

YOU THINK HE WAS POISONED? INJECTED WITH SOMETHING?

WELL, THERE WERE NO PUNCTURE MARKS ON HIS BODY,

SO IT HAD TO BE INTRODUCED IN SOME OTHER WAY.

NOW, YOU MENTIONED THAT FRANK WAS A RESEARCH CHEMIST.

ON A WEAPONS PROGRAM.

BIOLOGICAL, CHEMICAL, HE DIDN'T SAY.

WELL, WHO DID HE WORK FOR?

I DON'T KNOW.

I JUST KNOW THAT HE WANTED OUT.

HE SAID PEOPLE WERE FOLLOWING HIM,

THAT HIS PHONE WAS TAPPED.

THEY HAD HIM SO SCARED,

HE WOULD BARELY LEAVE HIS HOUSE.

COULD YOU TAKE ME TO HIS HOUSE?

LOOK, WHAT IF THE TOXIN'S HERE IN FRANK'S APARTMENT?

I DOUBT IT. I MEAN, YOU'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE, RIGHT?

NO, FRANK GAVE ME THESE KEYS FOR SAFEKEEPING.

I'VE NEVER BEEN ON THIS SIDE OF THE DOOR BEFORE.

WHOA, WHAT A WAY TO LIVE. IT'S LIKE A BUNKER.

YEAH, BUT WITH LESS CHARM.

I GUESS HE DIDN'T SPEND ALL THAT MONEY ON INTERIOR DESIGN.

WHAT MONEY?

OH, THE GUY HAD MILLIONS.

YEAH.

WOW. YOU KNOW, YOU THINK YOU KNOW A GUY.

I JUST THOUGHT BECAUSE MONEY IS WHAT I DO.

I'M A CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER.

OH, YOU'RE KIDDING.

NO, MY CLIENT'S WILL TELL YA, I CAN WORK WONDERS WITH A 401K.

WELL, YOU'D NEED TO WORK MIRACLES WITH MINE.

BARELY ENOUGH IN IT TO BUY A HAPPY MEAL.

MY LIFE ISN'T HALF-BAD, DR. CAVANAUGH.

I DON'T WANT THAT TO CHANGE.

WH-WHY WOULD IT?

FRANK KNEW SECRETS.

WE MET FOR CHESS EVERY SATURDAY IN A PUBLIC PARK.

I DIDN'T WANT TO SAY THIS IN FRONT OF ALICE,

BUT WHAT IF THEY SAW ME WITH HIM?

WHAT IF THEY THINK HE TOLD ME THINGS?

I WISH I HAD SOME ANSWERS FOR YA.

BUT I THINK WHERE TO START LOOKING.

PARAMAX INDUSTRIES.

HEY, HERE'S MY REPORT.

ALL THE MATERIALS ON MY EXTERNAL EXAMINATION

OF MARTIN HEWITT.

GREAT. I'LL TAKE IT FROM HERE.

TAKE WHAT FROM-- IT'S ALL DONE.

IT'S ALL WRAPPED UP.

I'M RE-OPENING THE CASE, BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW

IT HAS NO REFLECTION ON YOUR WORK.

OH, YES. YES, IT DOES. I SIGNED THE DEATH CERTIFICATE.

IF YOU RE-OPEN IT, I LOOK LIKE I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING.

IT WAS MY MISTAKE. I SHOULD'VE DONE THE EXAM MYSELF.

IT'S A SIMPLE EXAM. HOW COULD I HAVE SCREWED IT UP?

YOU DIDN'T SCREW IT UP.

LISTEN, DR. MACY, I WOULD REALLY LIKE THINGS TO WORK OUT HERE.

IF THERE'S A PROBLEM, TELL ME WHAT IT IS,

LET ME ADDRESS IT.

IT'S A QUESTION OF EXPERIENCE, DR. WINSLOW.

IT'S A POSSIBLE HOMICIDE.

HOMICIDE? WHAT HAPPENED TO HEART ATTACK?

I'LL KNOW MORE AFTER I'VE DONE A FULL AUTOPSY.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU TOLD ME NOT TO DO.

MAN, LOOK, I KNOW I'M THE NEW GUY HERE,

BUT WHAT IS THIS, SOME KIND OF HAZING RITUAL?

[telephone rings]

MACY.

MAGGIE.

EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?

YOU HAVE TIME FOR A CUP OF COFFEE?

SURE, BUT WOULDN'T MY OFFICE BE A BETTER PLACE TO TALK?

I COULD EVEN MAKE YOU AN ESPRESSO.

I WANNA BE ON NEUTRAL GROUND.

(Maggie) I NEED YOU TO HELP ME MAKE SENSE OF THIS.

NOW, JUST YESTERDAY, YOU AND I WERE REMEMBERING

ALL THE GOOD TIMES WITH MARTIN AND JOAN.

AND NOW SHE'S TELLING ME YOU WANNA DO AN AUTOPSY?

THERE'S SOME UNANSWERED QUESTIONS.

FOR GOD SAKE, GARRET, THIS IS JOAN.

THE WHOLE IDEA WAS FOR YOU TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR HER,

NOT--NOT MORE PAINFUL.

[sighs]

LOOK, THERE WERE MARKS ON MARTIN'S BODY.

MAYBE THEY CAME FROM THE GURNEY.

I DON'T THINK SO.

SOMETHING'S NOT RIGHT.

AND YOU'RE NOT GONNA STOP UNTIL YOU FIGURE OUT WHAT.

WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?

JOAN AND MARTIN WERE THE PERFECT COUPLE.

I KNOW WHERE YOU'RE HEADED WITH THIS, MAGGIE, DON'T--

YOU MEASURED YOURSELF AGAINST MARTIN-- PLEASE.

US AGAINST THEM.

YOU WERE--YOU WERE ALWAYS JEALOUS, GARRET...

OF WHAT THEY HAD.

HOW GOOD THEY WERE TOGETHER,

AND--AND YOU WERE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR SOME SIGN

THAT IT WAS ALL A BIG LIE, AND--AND YOU'RE STILL LOOKING.

MARTIN IS DEAD.

I NEED TO FIND OUT WHY.

AND I'M NOT GONNA LET YOU OR JOAN OR ANYONE ELSE STOP ME.

SO WHAT'S NEW ON THE TOXIN FRONT?

(Nigel) No, the poison definitely didn't enter through his skin.

IT WAS EITHER INGESTED OR INHALED.

I keep testing his blood for new toxins,

but nothing shows up.

KEEP AT IT. IT'S IN THERE SOMEWHERE.

IN THE MEANTIME, WE DID A LITTLE DIGGING ON PARAMAX INDUSTRIES.

WHO'S WE?

AH, ME AND HENRY.

YEAH, TURNS OUT HE'S PRETTY HANDY WITH A COMPUTER.

I SEE.

YEAH, PARAMAX MAKES CHEMICALS,

AND THEY HAVE A GOVERNMENT CONTRACT.

THAT'S ABOUT ALL WE CAN FIND OUT.

YOU'RE AT PARAMAX NOW?

WITH...HENRY?

YEAH, LOOK, I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHAT WE FIND OUT.

[dial tone]

I-I'M BEGINNING TO QUESTION THE WISDOM OF THIS IDEA.

THESE ARE REALLY DANGEROUS PEOPLE.

YOU WAIT HERE. LET ME HANDLE THIS.

SOMETIMES YOU JUST HAVE TO WALK THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR.

OKAY, OKAY, KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF.

YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE, DR. CAVANAUGH,

AND NEITHER ARE YOUR QUESTIONS.

WHAT DID FRANK ARNETT DO AT PARAMAX?

IT'S COMPANY POLICY NOT TO COMMENT ABOUT OUR EMPLOYEES.

IS IT THAT OR IS IT SOMETHING YOU'RE TRYING TO HIDE?

WHAT GOES ON INSIDE THAT BUILDING?

LEAVE THE PROPERTY, OR I'LL HAVE YOU ARRESTED.

HEY, YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO US.

THIS IS AMERICA!

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

YEAH. I'M GONNA FIND OUT WHAT THEY'RE UP TO,

ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

WHAT?

YOU--YOU'VE GOT--

ON YOUR NECK.

THE RASH?

THE RASH?

HENRY!

(Alice) HE HASN'T WOKEN UP.

THEY DON'T KNOW IF HE WILL.

NO ONE EVEN KNOWS WHAT'S WRONG.

HE NEVER HURT ANYONE.

WHO WOULD DO THIS?

I DON'T KNOW.

BUT I PROMISE YOU, I'M GONNA TRY TO FIND OUT.

OH, EXCUSE ME.

DR. ERKHART, ANY DIAGNOSIS?

WELL, I'VE RUN TESTS. I CALLED IN SPECIALISTS.

ALL WE KNOW IS WHAT IT ISN'T.

IT ISN'T INFECTION OR STROKE.

THERE'S NO BRAIN DAMAGE.

THIS HAS TO BE RELATED TO FRANK ARNETT.

WE DON'T KNOW WHAT CAUSED THAT EITHER.

I THINK IT MAY HAVE BEEN A TOXIN.

WE'LL FIGURE OUT WHICH ONE.

IT'S JUST A MATTER OF--

THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE DON'T HAVE.

MR. ROSS' ORGANS ARE FAILING.

AT THIS RATE,

WE'LL BE LUCKY IF HE LASTS ANOTHER DAY.

HEY, NIGE.

I NEED SOME GOOD NEWS.

I JUST GOT MORE RESULTS ON FRANK'S BLOOD.

42 TOXIN TESTS, ALL NEGATIVE.

COME ON, YOU'RE THE POISON WIZARD, REMEMBER?

I KNOW. I'VE RUN EVERYTHING I CAN THINK OF.

AT THIS POINT, I'M JUST GUESSING.

AND WITH 10,000 POSSIBLE TOXINS,

WE'RE LOOKING FOR A NEEDLE IN A HAYSTACK.

WHERE WE NEED TO LOOK IS PARAMAX INDUSTRIES.

MARTIN HEWITT'S BODY WAS JUST CREMATED.

IT'S NOT MY FAULT.

YOU LET THE MORTUARY TAKE THE BODY.

YOU HADN'T REVOKED THE DEATH CERTIFICATE.

I WAS LEGALLY BOUND TO RELEASE HIS BODY.

WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL ME? I DID CALL YOU.

I CALLED YOU AT THE OFFICE. I CALLED YOU ON YOUR CELL PHONE.

WHERE WERE YOU?

LETTING JOAN HEWITT GET AWAY WITH MURDER.

WE STILL HAVE THE PHOTO WITH THE MARKS ON HIS BACK.

IT'S NOT ENOUGH.

SHE SAID SHE AND MARTIN WERE IN ALL NIGHT

AND SHE FOUND HIM IN THE KITCHEN.

AND WE CAN'T PROVE OTHERWISE.

SO WHEN DID HE TAKE A SWIM?

A SWIM? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

YEAH, I PUT IT IN MY REPORT.

HIS HAIR, HIS SKIN, IT SMELLED LIKE CHLORINE.

DO THE HEWITTS HAVE A POOL?

NO.

(Bug) HE WAS LYING ON THE BACKSEAT OF HER CAR.

HOW CAN YOU TELL?

YOU SEE THIS PALE IMPRESSION HERE?

FROM THE RECEDING END OF THE SEATBELT.

WHAT KIND OF CAR?

NOT ENOUGH INFORMATION TO KNOW.

ANYWAY, THERE YOU HAVE IT.

I'VE GOT WORK WAITIN' BACK AT MY HOUSE--

BUG, BUG, BUG.

MARTIN WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HOME ALL NIGHT.

OBVIOUSLY HE WASN'T.

I'M TRYING TO RECONSTRUCT HIS MOVEMENTS.

YOU ASKED NIGEL, AND HE SAID NO.

LOOK, HERE'S THE THING, BUG--

NO, I WILL NOT BE YOUR NIGEL.

I'M NOT HEARING YOU CAN'T DO IT, JUST THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO.

THIS GUY WAS A FRIEND OF MINE. I NEED YOUR HELP. COME ON.

I NEED HIS SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER.

THAT'S RIGHT HERE.

OKAY, HERE'S SOMETHING.

HE BOUGHT GAS WITH HIS ATM CARD IN BEDFORD AT 1:20 A.M.

THE NIGHT HE DIED.

(Peter) BEDFORD'S 30 MILES FROM HERE.

SO MUCH FOR TAKEOUT AND A VIDEO WITH THE WIFE.

(Bug) SEEMS HE FILLED UP IN BEDFORD ON A REGULAR BASIS.

AND HE WAS A REPEAT CUSTOMER AT A LIQUOR STORE THERE TOO.

(Macy) HE MAY HAVE BEEN

TO A SWIMMING POOL IN BEDFORD.

ANY WAY TO FIND OUT WHERE?

I'M BEGINNING TO FEEL NIGEL'S PAIN.

(Hunter) PLEASE, COME IN.

BELIEVE ME, THE LAST THING PARAMAX INDUSTRIES WOULD DO

IS IMPEDE A POLICE INVESTIGATION.

WOW, FLASH A BADGE, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN,

IT'S A BRAND-NEW YOU.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS IS JUST A WAREHOUSE FACILITY.

OF COURSE.

AND AREA 51 IS JUST A PATCH OF DESERT.

(Rohrbach) FRANK ARNETT IS DEAD.

HIS FRIEND IS SICK.

THESE TWO THINK PARAMAX IS INVOLVED.

THEY THINK THERE'S A LABORATORY HERE.

THAT'S ABSURD.

YOU'RE CERTAINLY WELCOME TO LOOK AROUND.

I GOT A BETTER IDEA.

WHY DON'T YOU SHOW US WHERE FRANK WORKED?

YOU'RE LOOKING AT IT.

YOU'RE TELLING US THAT HE WORKED HERE.

YOU SAID HE WAS A SCIENTIST.

HE WAS. HE WAS.

OH, HE WASN'T.

FRANK HAD AN ACTIVE FANTASY LIFE.

HE WAS THE CFO'S NEPHEW.

HE WAS A TRUST FUND KID.

WE JUST GAVE HIM A JOB AS A FORKLIFT OPERATOR

TO HELP KEEP HIM OUT OF TROUBLE.

HE RAN A FORKLIFT?

THERE'S HIS RIG, RIGHT OVER THERE--

OR WAS.

LOOK, I DON'T KNOW WHAT LINE OF BULL

YOU'RE TRYING TO SELL US HERE,

BUT FRANK ARNETT WAS A CHEMIST

WORKING ON SOME KIND OF WEAPONS PROGRAM.

PARAMAX HAS A GOVERNMENT CONTRACT.

YES, BUT NOT FOR ANYTHING DEFENSE RELATED.

SO IF I JUST WERE TO REACH MY HAND

INTO THIS BOX RIGHT HERE,

WHAT MIGHT I FIND?

IT'S A URINAL CAKE.

(Hunter) ACTUALLY, WE PREFER DEODORANT BLOCK.

PARAMAX IS NUMBER TWO IN THE WORLD FOR COMMERCIAL

AND HOUSEHOLD DEODORIZING PRODUCTS.

URINAL CAKES.

HEY, NIGE.

[coughs] YEAH.

FRANK SMOKED,

SO DID HENRY.

(Nigel) THIS IS A CIGARETTE FROM FRANK'S POCKET.

WE BATTEN DOWN THE HATCHES,

GRAB THE LIGHTER,

FIRE THIS BABY UP.

HOW DO WE CHECK THE SMOKE? WITH THIS.

IT'S A PROTOTYPE ON LOAN FROM LIVERMORE LAB,

A PATHOGEN DETECTION SYSTEM.

IN ESSENCE, A FANCY SMOKE DETECTOR

THAT CAN SNIFF OUT CHEMICAL AGENTS.

MAYBE SMOKING REALLY DOES KILL YOU.

(Jordan) FENTANYL.

IT'S WHAT KILLED THOSE PEOPLE IN THE RUSSIAN THEATER.

THERE'S A LAB IN DALLAS THAT KNOWS EVERYTHING

YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE STUFF.

GREAT. SEE IF YOU CAN GET THEM ON THE PHONE.

ARE YOU SURE THIS IS THE RIGHT ADDRESS?

WE'RE SAYING THAT MARTIN HEWITT

WAS IN BEDFORD AFTER MIDNIGHT.

WELL, NO PUBLIC SWIMMING POOLS WOULD'VE BEEN OPEN.

SO I CHECKED WITH THE PERMIT OFFICE

FOR HOMES WITH POOLS.

AND THIS ONE IS CLOSEST TO THE GAS STATION

AND THE LIQUOR STORE THAT HEWITT FREQUENTED.

UM, DR. MACY.

Yeah, Bug.

I THINK I'M STARTING TO ENJOY THIS.

That's great, Bug.

JUST WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?

[doorbell chimes]

HELLO.

HI.

I'M GARRET MACY. THIS IS PETER WINSLOW.

WE WERE WONDERING--

COME ON IN.

THANKS.

CAN I TAKE YOUR COATS?

ACTUALLY WE'D LIKE TO ASK YOU SOME QUESTIONS.

I'VE GOT SOME ANSWERS.

[clears throat] WOW.

WE ALSO HAVE PRIVATE ROOMS.

AND MAY I TAKE YOU ON A PRIVATE TOUR?

YEAH, YOU KNOW WHAT, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

NO, NO.

THERE'S BEEN SOME MISTAKE HERE.

HE AND I--

MY MISTAKE.

THE ROOM YOU TWO WANT IS UPSTAIRS.

OH, NO, NO.

NOW YOU'VE GOT IT ALL WRONG. WE'RE NOT TOGETHER. NOT AT ALL.

IT'S OKAY.

NO ONE HERE HAS TO PRETEND.

I'M NOT PRETENDING.

[breathing and moaning]

GARRET.

YOU'RE OVERDRESSED.

ARE YOU THERE, NIGEL?

MA'AM, I'M SORRY.

NO CELL PHONES ALLOWED IN THE HOSPITAL.

THIS IS AN EMERGENCY. NIGEL.

(Nigel) How's Henry doing?

I DON'T KNOW. I HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO HIS ROOM YET.

DID YOU REACH THAT LAB IN DALLAS?

I'M ON HOLD FOR FIVE MINUTES NOW.

A MAN MAY BE DYING. ARE THEY CLUED INTO THAT?

THEY'RE TRYING TO CONNECT ME TO THEIR EXPERT,

BUT HE HASN'T ANSWERED HIS PAGE.

WE KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH HENRY.

WHAT WE NEED IS A WAY TO REVERSE HIS CONDITION.

I'll get that information, Jordan.

I'll be speaking to the man at any moment.

HENRY.

(Dr. Erkhart) CLEAR!

[shock]

HE NEEDS OUR HELP, NIGEL.

CLEAR!

[shock]

HE NEEDS IT NOW.

(Dr. Erkhart) OKAY, THAT'S IT.

TIME OF DEATH, 10:35.

[sad guitar music]

* TROUBLE *

* TROUBLE, SET ME FREE *

* I HAVE SEEN YOUR FACE *

* IT'S TOO MUCH, TOO MUCH FOR ME *

* *

HENRY CAME TO ME FOR HELP.

I DIDN'T JUST LET HIM DOWN. I LET HIM GET KILLED.

YOU'RE NOT THE ONE WHO PUT THE FENTANYL IN HIS CIGARETTE.

WHO DID?

AND WHY?

I BOUGHT INTO SOME HUGE CONSPIRACY THEORY ABOUT WHAT?

A DELUSIONAL FORKLIFT OPERATOR AND, UH...

[sighs]

DEODORANT BLOCKS.

WELL, MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THE CONSPIRACY

A BIT CLOSER TO HOME.

MEANING WHAT?

I'VE RECONSIDERED.

WHAT RIGHT HAVE I TO WITHHOLD THE BOUNTY

OF MY COMPUTER TALENTS?

WELCOME BACK, NIGE. WHAT DO YOU GOT?

HENRY'S BANK STATEMENT.

LAST MONTH, HE PAID THE FIRST PREMIUM

ON A HEFTY NEW LIFE INSURANCE POLICY.

CAN YOU GUESS THE BENEFICIARY?

FENTANYL.

OUR LAB FOUND TRACES OF IT IN YOUR HUSBAND'S CIGARETTES.

ARE YOU SAYING SOMEONE USED THIS TO KILL MY HUSBAND?

NOT SOMEONE, MRS. ROSS.

YOU.

I LOVED MY HUSBAND.

YOU HAVE A FUNNY WAY OF SHOWING IT.

WE FOUND THAT IN YOUR UNDERWEAR DRAWER.

YOU MURDERED YOUR HUSBAND, MA'AM.

AND YOU KILLED FRANK ARNETT TO MAKE IT ALL LOOK LIKE

SOMETHING IT WASN'T.

IT'S ABSURD.

WHY WOULD I DO THAT?

WHY WOULD SHE POISON HIS CIGARETTES

WHEN SHE WAS TRYING TO KEEP HIM FROM SMOKING?

SOMETHING'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE.

EVERYONE DEALS WITH GRIEF IN DIFFERENT WAYS, GARRET.

IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE DOING, GRIEVING?

I DON'T EXPECT YOU TO UNDERSTAND.

HOW DID HE DIE, JOAN?

IN THE COMPANY OF TWO LOVELY YOUNG WOMEN.

AND YOUR RESPONSE

WAS TO PUT HIS BODY IN THE CAR AND STAGE IT HERE.

THAT'S OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE.

MARTIN WAS A GREAT MAN, HE ACCOMPLISHED GREAT THINGS--

SO THIS IS ABOUT SAVING HIS REPUTATION, IS THAT IT?

PEOPLE WOULD HAVE JUDGED HIM, GARRET...

THE WAY YOU'RE JUDGING ME.

WELL, YOU LIED TO ME, JOAN.

YOU USED ME, AND YOU USED MAGGIE.

AND YOU BROKE THE LAW.

I DID WHAT I HAD TO DO.

SO...

WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE US?

I DON'T KNOW.

[cell phone ringing]

HELLO.

(Nigel) Jordan, remember Frank Arnett's money?

Yeah, you mean the $5 million?

YEAH, WELL, NOT ANYMORE. IT'S GONE.

What do mean, gone?

I MEAN, ALL FUNDS HAVE BEEN WIRE-TRANSFERRED OUT.

HEY, NIGE, IS, UH, HENRY'S BODY OVER THERE?

YOU KNOW, IT'S FUNNY YOU SHOULD MENTION THAT.

ACTUALLY, IT'S MISSING AT THE MOMENT.

Some mix-up at the hospital.

I'M HEADING THERE RIGHT NOW. MEET ME THERE.

YEAH, BUT YOU SAW HENRY. HE WAS DEAD.

HE APPEARED TO BE.

I SUPPOSE IT'S POSSIBLE.

POISONS LIKE CURARE AND TETRODOTOXIN CAN MIMIC DEATH,

BUT WHY WOULD HENRY FAKE HIS OWN MURDER?

FOR FRANK ARNETT'S MONEY.

THE MAN WORKS WONDERS WITH A 401K.

IMAGINE WHAT HE CAN DO WITH A REAL NEST EGG.

SO YOU'RE SAYING HE'S THE ONE WHO POISONED FRANK

AND THEN CONCOCTED THIS WHOLE CONSPIRACY AS A SMOKESCREEN?

WITH MY HELP.

HE KNEW I'D BUY INTO THIS. HE SOUGHT ME OUT, NIGE.

WHICH MEANS THAT HE BOUGHT THE LIFE INSURANCE

JUST TO IMPLICATE HIS WIFE.

LEAVING US TO CHASE OUR TAILS

WHILE HE GOT THE HELL OUT OF DODGE.

OH, EXCUSE ME. HI. WHERE IS DR. ERKHART?

I'M SORRY. HE LEFT FOR VACATION.

WELL, WHEN'S HE COMING BACK?

HE'S NOT.

WE'VE BEEN TOTALLY PLAYED, NIGE.

IF THE TICKET ISN'T UNDER HENRY ROSS' NAME,

HOW DO YOU KNOW HE'S THE ONE WHO BOUGHT IT?

A MULTI-STOPOVER TICKET COSTS 30 GRAND.

OCEANIC AIRLINES HADN'T SOLD ONE FOR TWO MONTHS,

UNTIL AN HOUR AGO.

WELL, IF IT'S AN OPEN TICKET,

HE COULD BE ON ANY ONE OF THESE FLIGHTS.

WHICH IS WHY WE NEED TO CHECK EVERY ONE OF THEM.

OR HE COULD BE PULLING ANOTHER FAST ONE.

MAYBE HE'S NOT EVEN FLYING OUT OF LOGAN.

IF YOU'VE GOT A BETTER IDEA, I'M ALL EARS.

ENJOY YOUR FLIGHT TO TAHITI, MR. MORRIS.

I CERTAINLY SHALL.

I'M AFRAID THERE'S GONNA BE A SLIGHT DELAY.

A GOOD 20 YEARS, I'M THINKIN'.

WOW.

LOOK AT YOU. A MEDICAL MIRACLE.

I SUPPOSE YOU GOT ERKHART.

NAILED HIM AT THE CANADIAN BORDER.

WHAT DO YOU THINK, DETECTIVE?

GO DIRECTLY TO JAIL, DO NOT PASS GO.

DO NOT COLLECT $5 MILLION.

READ MY MIND.

I DIDN'T THINK YOU HAD IT IN YA.

NO ONE DOES.

THAT'S THE STORY OF MY MISERABLY DULL LIFE.

HENRY THE ACCOUNTANT.

DON'T SELL YOURSELF SHORT, HENRY.

YOU'RE A MURDERER.

YOU KILLED YOUR BEST FRIEND.

FRAMED YOUR WIFE.

WHAT FOR?

I SAW A CHANCE TO START OVER.

A CHANCE TO BE SOMEONE NEW.

IF I'D GOTTEN ON THAT PLANE, DR. CAVANAUGH,

YOU NEVER WOULD HAVE SEEN ME AGAIN.

I DON'T EVEN SEE YOU NOW.

* TROUBLE *

* TROUBLE, MOVE AWAY *

* I HAVE SEEN YOUR FACE *

* IT'S TOO MUCH FOR ME TODAY... *

WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT?

ABOUT US.

WHEN WAS IT OVER FOR YOU, MAG?

YOU MEAN... THE SPECIFIC MOMENT?

IF THERE WAS ONE, YEAH.

IT WAS A SATURDAY MORNING.

I WAS WATCHING YOU SLEEP...

STARING AT YOU...

'CAUSE YOU HAD CHANGED.

OVERNIGHT.

CHANGED?

YOUR FACE...

HAIR-- EVEN THE WAY YOU SMELLED.

YOU WERE A STRANGER.

I STILL LOVED YOU.

I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE YOU NEVER KNOW WHO PEOPLE REALLY ARE.

MAYBE IF YOU AND I HAD SEEN THAT MORE CLEARLY,

WE MIGHT HAVE FOUND OUR WAY BACK.

MAYBE SO.

DID YOU GET THE FULL STORY ON WHAT HAPPENED TO MARTIN?

YEAH.

GARRET, I ACCUSED YOU OF ATTACKING THEIR RELATIONSHIP.

I ALWAYS HELD THEM UP AS SOME SORT OF IDEAL.

WHEN WE SPLIT UP, MARTIN AND JOAN JUST KEPT GOING.

HAPPY AND IN LOVE.

AND IT GAVE ME FAITH.

BUT I DON'T NEED TO KID MYSELF.

IF IT WAS JUST AN ILLUSION...

I'D LIKE TO KNOW.

THEY WERE THE PERFECT COUPLE.

HEY. LOOKIN' FOR ME?

YEAH, PETER, UM...

LISTEN, ABOUT LAST NIGHT,

I THINK YOU AND I SAW SOME THINGS WE SHOULDN'T HAVE.

OH, YOU MEAN THE ORGY?

IT BLEW YOUR MIND A LITTLE?

WELL, SEEING MRS. HEWITT WAS UNEXPECTED.

WELL, DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME. I KNOW HOW TO BE DISCRETE.

IT'S ONE OF THE TENETS OF THE PROGRAM.

WHAT PROGRAM?

NA. REALLY?

YEAH. HEY, DOC, WE ALL HAVE OUR DARK PLACES.

IT'S TRUE.

I'M LATE. I GOTTA FOR A MEETING.

HEY, YOU HEAR ABOUT, UH, MY CASE, HENRY ROSS?

OH, THE GUY WHO ROSE FROM THE DEAD.

YEAH, NIGEL TOLD ME.

YEAH, GOD, EVEN AFTER WE BUSTED HIM,

I STILL COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.

I WAS CONNED, GARRET.

MM-HMM, HE FOUND YOUR BLIND SPOT.

WE ALL HAVE 'EM.

WELL, WHICH ONE? I MEAN, I'VE GOT A FEW.

YOU'RE A SUCKER FOR THE UNDERDOG, JORDAN.

YEAH, I'M NOT SURE I CAN CHANGE THAT.

I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD.

WHAT'S YOURS?

YOUR BLIND SPOT?

I PUT PEOPLE ON PEDESTALS.

INEVITABLY, THEY FALL OFF.

I THINK YOU'RE PRETTY SAFE WITH ME.

* I'VE SEEN YOUR LIFE *

* I CAN SEE DUSTY SKIES *

* HANGIN' ON ME... * *
