All language subtitles for Deadly Betrayal Nicolette Sheridan (Desperate Housewives) THRILLER Full Movie in English

You didn't really think you'd get away
with it, did you?

You and the little stud set me up from
the start.

But this is where it ends.

When the police get here, you're going
to get everything.

You deserve.

And the whole world's going to know
exactly what a rotten piece of work you

Have you

seen

my boots? I know they're red.

What? It's not like I have a choice in
the matter.

I'm going to miss Melinda's scientific
pivot.

She's going to be disappointed.

Well, Melinda is a big girl now.

She can handle it.

Used to be days.

Now it's a month.

Melinda, it's only two weeks.

I'll be back before you know it.

That's the cab.

Damn it. God, I thought I fixed that
thing.

Listen, I'll call you when I get there.

In the middle of the Sahara?

Jeff.

You're... Hey.

You are going to be back by the 24th,
right?

Oh, nice.

It is our anniversary.

Listen, don't worry.

I'll be back on time, I promise.

Okay.

Give him a wind dog for me, will you?

Mm -hmm. I love him.

Gotta go.

Two weeks?

Wasn't he away for two weeks, two weeks
ago?

Uh -huh.

I figured it out. In the past year, he's
been gone close to six months.

I resent it, Roz.

I'm tired. I'm tired of being mother,
father, cook, chauffeur. Get off it,

Donna.

What? You've been crying on my shoulder
for months about how you and Jeff are

drifting apart, about how you're doing
all the work and he's always away.

Gee, what happened to my marriage?

When did it all turn?

Donna, I'm sorry. I don't mean to hurt
you. It's just... You know, back in

college, I never would have guessed that
you would have been the type of girl to

fall for that stand -by -your -man crap.

What is that supposed to mean?

Well, it's like you said.

Look at your life.

Meanwhile, Jeff's off covering another
story, searching for another headline,

and... You keep the home fires burning.

Whatever happened to that girl who was
going to go to New York and set the town

on fire, who was going to be the top
editor at the top publishing house and

brunch at the Russian tea room with the
latest literati?

She fell in love.

Just because your marriage ended like
that. Yeah, it's because my marriage

the way it did that I'm talking to you
like this.

Okay?

Silent Hanukkah.

Hi, Mrs. Cooper.

Hi, Liz.

Hi, Mom.

Hi, sweetheart. Hi, Roz. Hi, cutie.

Mom, did you hear what happened to the
Coopers?

No. What? Put your seatbelt on.

Shannon just told me they were robbed.

Really?

Aye, aye, aye. Who is that?

That's Mr. Hamilton, my teacher. Your
teacher?

Hmm. Is he married?

How should I know?

I'd only like to polish his apple.

What? What?

What?

You don't even know what that means.

Okay.

Mrs. Randall?

Hi. Hi.

Melinda's teacher, Adam Hamilton.

Oh, hi, Mr. Hamilton. Donna.

Donna Randall.

Listen, I just wanted to tell you how
much I enjoy having Melinda in my class.

She's one of my best students.

Aw. You know, she's smart, she's
creative.

Of course, she does get a little carried
away sometimes.

Well, that's Melinda.

I'll try to dial her down a little. No,
no.

No, she challenges me.

I wouldn't do anything to dampen her
spirit.

Kind of keeps me on my toes.

Oh, my friend, Rosalind. Oh, call me
Ros.

Well, call me Adam. Oh, you can call me
any time.

I think it would take the entire fire
department to dampen her spirit.

Yeah, but I bet it'd be a very happy
fire department. Oh, yeah. You got that

right.

Listen, it was very nice meeting both of
you.

Nice to meet you, too.

See you later.

Bye.

That's it.

This one's nice.

Mom, no.

I hate that sweater.

And anyway, I've had it for like a
gazillion years.

Okay, like what's wrong with this one?

It's your father.

Daddy!

Daddy, tell Mommy to get me a new
sweater for Robin's birthday party.

I can't wait for you to come home
tomorrow.

I miss you.

I miss you too, sweetheart.

Can I talk to Mom now alone, please?

Dad! I promise.

I promise we'll talk about the sweater.

Hey.

Let me have a minute. Go on.

Yeah.

Listen, uh... Something's come up.

You're not coming home, are you?

Bill Gray broke his leg.

They want me to go to Bosnia and his
place.

Things are really heating up there.
Can't you just tell him no?

Tell him to get somebody else.

Well, come on, it's our anniversary.

What about the cabin that I reserved at
the lake or the concert tickets for

Friday night?

Well, you can find someone to go to the
concert with you. I mean, take... Take

Mel. She'll love it.

No, she won't.

Then take... take Roz.

You volunteered, didn't you?

I can't believe you're doing this, Jeff.

You've barely even seen us for the past
two years. I want you on that plane

tomorrow.

I really don't have time for this right
now.

You never have the time.

Unless you count the time we argue.

Maybe that's because you don't listen.

You don't hear me, Donna. What I do...
is important.

We used to be important.

Damn it, Donna, you still are. I can't
have this conversation right now.

What's this really about, Jeff?

Huh?

Because you need your space?

Time to think.

Figure out what you really want to do
with your life.

Donna, don't. Go to hell.

Come here, sweetheart.

Come here.

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

I know I got angry with Daddy. I just
want him to come home.

Hey.

Hey.

Don't you worry. Everything's going to
be fine, okay?

Right?

Try those pretty eyes.

Penny for your thoughts.

Whoa.

Meantime problems, huh?

Quarter.

Inflation?

You having trouble at home?

Your mom and dad don't understand you?

Your mom and dad are having problems?

My dad's not coming home.

He's going to miss my science fair.

Mom's got to go to a concert on Friday
night all by herself.

Hey, it's not so bad.

I mean, it's not like they're getting a
divorce or anything.

Your dad has just been delayed.

Hey, everything's going to be all right.

They wouldn't get a divorce, would they?

No, no.

They'd have to be very mad at each
other.

Mom sounded pretty mad.

Oh, my God.

Did you see her?

One more facelift and her smile will be
on her forehead.

By the way, did I tell you I've decided
to have an exchange operation?

I figured since I can't find a man, I
might as well become one.

How did I know she wasn't listening to
me? Hello?

Huh?

I'm sorry. I was miles away.

Roslyn's books. Happy holidays.

Oh, hi.

Yeah. Yeah, just hold on.

Donna.

It's Adam Hamilton.

Melinda's teacher?

Hello?

Donna. I was wondering if we could get
together and talk. It's regarding

Melinda. Is something wrong?

Well, I don't think it's anything to get
too concerned over. I just don't think

we should get into it over the phone.

Well,

yeah, I can be there in 20 minutes.

Great.

I'll see you then.

Okay, thanks.

Midday tête -à -tête?

It's about Melinda, Roz.

Well, I hope she's okay, but, you know,
I think Mr.

Superstud's got a little bit more on his
mind than Melinda.

Don't be ridiculous.

Oh, tell me you didn't see the way he
looked at you the other day.

You know, I've hardly ever seen you so
flustered.

What?

You're crazy.

Yeah, right.

I'm a married woman, remember?

So? Never hurts to look.

Bye, Ron.

Good luck.

Hi. Hi.

Glad you could make it.

Please, have a seat.

So, uh, what's going on?

I'm concerned with Melinda's recent
behavior.

She's not participating in class. She's
distracted.

I'd even say sad.

That's not like her.

No, it's not.

She also told me about you and your
husband.

What did she tell you?

Well, just that there were problems.

She's afraid you might be divorcing.

Oh, my God.

Look, Donna...

I realize this is none of my business,
but I just... Thank you, Mr. Hamilton.

Adam.

Adam.

I'll have a talk with Melinda.

Look, if there's anything I can do to
help, please, just let me know.

All right.

You changed your hair.

Well, it was up when we first met, and
now it's down. It's very nice.

Thank you.

Dinner's almost ready.

I think

we

need to have a little talk.

I know you're worried about me and
Daddy.

I don't want you and Betty to get a
divorce.

We are not getting a divorce.

Daddy and I have been having some
disagreements.

It happens. All parents happen every now
and then.

It's not my fault, is it? Of course it's
not your fault. This has nothing to do

with you.

It is strictly between your father and
me.

We both love you more than anything in
the whole world, and nothing's ever

to change that.

We just have some things that we need to
work out.

And we will.

Okay?

Okay.

Okay.

I've got something for you.

I'll be right back.

Ta -da!

I don't know. Open it.

The one you like from the mall, isn't
it?

Mom, it's perfect.

Oh, I'm glad you like it. Thank you.

You hungry now?

Yeah.

Good.

Let's eat.

I'm good. Good. Nice to see you. Nice to
see you, too.

Another music lover.

Yeah. You know, Chopin's Nocturnes and
Brahms are two of my favorites.

Mine as well.

So where are you seated?

Down there in the orchestra.

Lucky you.

I'm up in nosebleed country. But that's
okay.

It's good acoustics.

So where's your husband? Because I'd
like to meet him.

Oh, he's out of town.

Well, that's too bad.

Yeah. So I take it you're here with
Melinda?

No, it's not exactly MTV.

Oh, I think they're trying to tell us
something.

Well, maybe I'll see you later.

Enjoy the rest of the concert.

Thank you.

Adam?

Sometimes I think that Chopin's music is
just too personal.

Intense, you know?

Raw. Well, he was madly in love with one
of the greatest French writers at the

time.

Georges Thon.

That's right.

Yes, apparently he used to write
furiously under the piano while he

Yeah.

Thank you. You made this a more
enjoyable evening.

Well, thank you.

Uh, look, um, I'm famished. Would you,
uh, would you consider joining me for

dinner this evening?

Oh. I'll give Melinda Levesque homework.

I'll give her more, I mean, whichever
you prefer, because, well, I mean,

I'd pretty much do anything not to have
to dine alone.

So, please, don't, don't say no.

So I hear you're the Alex Trebek of
Dalton Academy.

Oh, my Jeopardy session.

Yeah,

we play games, you know, like Wheel of
Fortune and Concentration.

I mean, learning should be fun, right?

Absolutely.

And I try and do my best.

And you do a very good job. Melinda
really likes you. Thank you.

Are you ready to order?

Oh.

That's an unusual watch.

Oh, thank you.

Yeah, I've had that a long time.

I have eaten here several times before,
and I can tell you that the ahi is

amazing.

Sounds good to me.

Great. Ahi it is.

Make that rare for me.

Thanks, please.

Are you always this easy?

When it comes to food.

Well,

here is to good times and good friends.

Cheers. Cheers.

You know, I'm kind of surprised you've
never been here before.

I mean, given that it's so charming and
romantic.

Given your taste in music, I would have
thought that you and your husband would

have... My husband and I don't eat out
very often.

He travels a lot.

So his time at home is really important
to him.

He's a cameraman for National News
Network.

Oh, wow.

Well, I'm sure he cherishes the times
that he has with you.

I guess it's safe to assume that you
like to read.

I'm seeing as you work in a bookstore.

Oh, I help Roz out.

But yes, I do love to read.

So what's your favorite?

Austin.

Bronte?

Wuthering Heights would be on my top
ten.

Yeah.

Yeah, I always kind of felt that
Heathcliff and...

Catherine spoke to my wife, Emily, and
I.

You're married.

Yeah, I was.

My wife was killed in a car accident
five years ago.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I think I was very lucky to have her in
my life.

You want to know what I really miss
most, though?

Little things.

Things we used to do together all the
time.

You know, you're very, very lucky to
have someone to share that with.

This was a great evening.

It was great music and great food.

Of course, the company wasn't so bad
either.

Well, the food was good.

I know I shouldn't say this, but I don't
want this night to end.

Oh, Adam.

I've got to go home.

I'll make sure you get home safely.

I am fine to drive. Thank you.

He shouldn't have followed me.

Can't come in.

Good night.

You've got to go.

Your change.

And your books. Thank you so much, sir.
Happy holidays.

Lunch. Ooh.

Yummy, yummy.

Let's see.

For me, never gains an ounce. Yes.

Cheeseburger.

Fries. Chocolate shake.

So politically incorrect.

And for moi...

Our lady of the ever -expanding night.

Stop it.

Rabbit food.

So.

I didn't get a chance to ask you this
morning how was the concert?

Oh, it was glorious. I loved it.

I, uh, bumped into Adam Hamilton.

Oh.

Now I really wish I'd made it.

Oh, I bet you do. Yeah, so that explains
it.

Explains what?

The way you've seemed distracted all
morning.

And you have that certain look that
women get when they've been perhaps

Nothing happened. Uh -huh.

Bullseye. I hate to be right when I
don't want to be right.

Nothing happened. Uh -huh.

Hearty appetite, I see.

So, how was it?

Whoa. You better slow down, girl.

People can get hurt, people you don't
want to hurt.

What are you getting at?

Well, you know no jack about this Adam
guy.

Yeah?

Look, Donna, I'm not making any
judgments here.

You're a big girl.

All I'm saying is I could do super
teach, go home and wash my hair and not

it a second thought, can you?

If there was something.

Rosalind's books. Happy holidays.

Hello.

Donna.

So when can I see you again?

Thank you for your concern.

You can't talk, can you?

How's tonight?

I've noticed that, too.

Good. I'm glad you noticed.

I just thought it'd be more private.

You know, less chance of anyone seeing
this.

I'll tell you what. I'll make dinner.
Because I make a pretty mean scampi, you

know.

Thank you. I really appreciate you
calling.

You're very welcome.

Well, seems like Melinda's doing better
at school.

Oh, great.

You must be pleased.

Hello?

I'm in the kitchen.

Mmm, something smells delicious.

Yes, by me, Scampi.

Would you like some wine?

No, thank you.

What a great kitchen.

Yeah, not bad on a teacher's salary,
huh?

Oh, my family had money.

You have great taste. Thank you.

And I love these cabinets.

Yeah, I built these myself.

Really?

Yeah, it used to be a motorbike shop.

It was a bit of a mess when I got it,
but it had great potential.

Why don't I give you the grand tour,
okay?

Okay.

This is the way I work out.

And I bought those bikes when I
purchased the place.

This is great.

Here, I'll keep that.

Thanks.

Why don't I show you the upstairs?

Okay.

Right here.

To the sky.

Surprise.

All that I want. What an incredible
thing.

A dream comes true. Maybe it's over
home.

Take me away.

Come take my hand.

Take me.

Why?

It's late. I've got to go pick Melinda
up.

I'm sorry.

You tired?

No?

Have you said thank you to Roz?

Thank you, Roz.

You're welcome, sweetie.

Wrong way.

Thanks, Roz.

No problem.

What are you doing here?

Well, I live here, remember?

I've been on a plane for 14 hours.

And I thought you would be glad to see
me.

I would have liked to have heard from
you.

Are you dropping off your laundry on the
way to your next appointment with

history? Donna!

I'm home for good.

What did you say?

I said I'm home for good.

No more foreign assignments.

I've asked for a permanent station here
and they gave it to me.

Are you serious?

I'm dead serious.

What's going on?

We were in a small village a couple
hundred miles from Sarajevo.

I was shooting video for Lou, Lou
Torelli.

Suddenly, a shell started raining down
around us like hailstones.

We were right in the middle of it.

There was buildings falling, bodies
flying through the air. There was fire

everywhere. It was an inferno.

Families torn apart, you know.

Lou and I, we just, we ran as fast as we
could.

Lou didn't make it.

I'm sorry.

Lou and I have been together since, I
don't know, forever.

And all I could think about was you and
Mel and...

I love you so much, and I'll never do
that to you and Mel again.

Daddy?

Daddy? Daddy, you're home!

Oh, I missed you so much.

Just look at you.

I love you.

So you missed me? Did you? Huh? Did you
miss me?

I'm surprised you guys haven't killed
yourself on this thing yet.

And now that you're home, Daddy, you can
fix it.

Sweetheart, now that I'm home, I plan to
fix a lot of things for you.

Give us a kiss.

Aww.

Hamilton? What are you doing here?

Mr. Hamilton.

I'm Melinda's teacher.

I'm Jeff. Jeff Randall. Pleased to meet
you. Come on in.

Hi, I was in the neighborhood. I thought
I'd just go by and see how Melinda was

doing.

Melinda, can I go to the freezer and
grab us some ice cream? We'll be right

there. Yeah, okay.

Is there a problem?

No, no, there's no problem. Thank you
for your concern.

Everything's fine.

If you'll excuse me, I didn't realize it
was quite too late.

Melinda, I'll see you in class.

Okay.

Good night.

Yeah, good night.

You guys got nothing better to do with
this night?

What's going on, Noah?

What do you mean, what's going on?

Linda had a tough time with you being
away.

Seems like she took it to school with
her.

He's just concerned, that's all.

Okay, well, now that I'm home, there
shouldn't be any more problems, right?

Shouldn't be.

Feels like a long time since I've found
you like this.

I'm sorry, Donna.

I'm sorry for everything.

Donna.

I wanted to call, but because Jeff...
Adam, let me talk.

Well, it's about what happened between
us.

I was vulnerable and I made a big
mistake.

If things were different... How can you
say that after the last two nights?

You know you want me.

I'm in love with my husband.

And I really want my marriage to work.

I'm sorry.

Stop it.

You're afraid of me, aren't you?

You're afraid of how to make you feel.

Stop it.

I don't want you to call me.

And I don't want you to try to see me
again.

I'm sorry.

I guess you didn't take it too well.

Oh, Roz, it was awful.

What was I thinking?

How did I let all this happen?

Look, this is a lesson learned.

You got to put it behind you. It's over.
It's done.

Christmas stocks came in this morning.

So let's get back to work.

And here's the thought.

What shall Roz get?

Her new possible soulmate won Roland
Sweetheart Sheridan for Christmas.

Roland Sweetheart Sheridan.

Sweetheart? Oh, I'm thinking ahead.

But while you were gone, he came, he
saw, he bought the complete works of

Milton, and he conquered my heart.

I mean, I thought I was the last of the
Milton lovers.

Anyway, we've got our next date on
Thursday.

Well,

at least the two of you span the same
centuries.

Hey.

You know it's going to be okay.

Yeah.

Come around the other side and on three.

One, two, three, help!

Well, just try to relax, Mr. Randall.
Get some rest. This was a professional

job. They tell them come back.

But just to help you sleep better, we'll
have a car patrol the area for the rest

of the night, okay?

All right.

Thank you, Detective. I appreciate that.

Mr. Randall, sir. Thank you. Good night.
I'll see you out.

Well, I am not going to let

Some stupid thief ruined our Christmas.

No.

I'm going to get the tree.

You guys want to get the decorations?

Yeah. Huh?

What? Let's go. Are we decorating a tree
or what? We're decorating!

All right, let's go.

Here, you put this one up over there.

I believe this is yours.

You dropped it last night.

Do you have any idea how many of those
are around?

Where's yours?

I lost it.

You son of a bitch.

You played me from the beginning, didn't
you? All you wanted to do was rob me.

Go home, Donna.

Just back in your nice little family
again.

You got what you wanted?

I got what I wanted.

So why don't we just go back to our
lives?

Are you crazy? I'm not going to let you
get away with this. You're a criminal.

I think I prefer these.

Don't you think?

Your insurance will cover the loss.

You're not going to get away with this.

You are weak.

And you wanted me.

And you still do.

You're pathetic.

I'm going to the police.

I wouldn't do that if I were you.

Oh? Well, you're not me.

Well, I guess Jeff will have to know.

Melinda?

I think I preferred you with your hair
up.

threatened me.

How can I let him get away with this?

The thought of Melinda in that man's
class just makes my skin crawl.

You should have seen the smug look on
his face.

What am I going to do?

Nothing. You do nothing.

You take this comeback's advice, Donna.
Collect your insurance and get on with

your life.

I know you're right.

But how am I going to see him at school
and pretend that everything's all right

when there is this monster teaching my
baby? You do not. I repeat, do not open

can of worms here.

Look, you and Jeff are finally making it
work.

You've got to make yourself forget what
happened.

Who knows?

Maybe the bull will get caught.

I told him I was going to the police.

Maybe that scared him.

Well, you're not going to the police.

Hi, baby.

Where's Melinda?

At the Cooper's. I'm going to go get her
in a little while.

What are you doing?

Jeff.

What's going on?

That's what's delivered to my office.

I guess Mr. Hamilton does a little
tutoring on the side.

Feels like somebody just died.

I really believe that you wanted me
home. Hell, I even felt guilty about it.

Jeff, I wanted to tell you.

Well, I think that tells me everything.

Jeff.

I'm picking up Melinda.

I think under the circumstances, she's
better off with me.

You can't take Melinda. Watch me.

I want her out of this house.

I want her out of that school.

And I don't want her anywhere near that
son of a... Jeff, don't do this.

Ruined my life, Roz.

He's destroyed everything that's
important to me.

All my fault.

I saw the way he looked at you.

I saw it all coming.

I should have stopped you. It's not your
fault.

Maybe if you talk to Jeff again, you
gotta try.

Just don't give up, Donna, okay?

I'm not going to give up.

I'm going to go to the police.

And once they've arrested Adam Hamilton,

maybe Jeff will forgive me.

I don't know what to say to you, Donna.

I know, Mary. Is Jeff here?

Ah, I got it.

You got a lawyer yet?

Jeff, please, talk to me.

Talk all you want.

When you didn't take my calls...

And I didn't even hear from you on our
anniversary.

I felt like you abandoned us.

I was hurt.

And angry.

And I did something really, really sad.

Listen to me, Donna.

You made your choice.

And I've made mine.

Wait.

He...

He's the one that broke into our house.

I found his watch and he admitted it to
me. Really?

Where did he leave his watch?

Under my bed?

I have a hard time believing anything
you say.

I know it sounds crazy, but it's the
truth.

Can I get you something, Mrs. Randall?

No. Some coffee?

So, What can we do for you, Mrs.
Randall?

Well, I know who robbed my home.

Who might that be?

Adam Hamilton.

He's my daughter's teacher.

And why do you think your daughter's
teacher is the man who robbed your home?

Well, this is, um... This is very
difficult for me.

I, um... I had a... what you would call
a brief affair with Mr. Hamilton.

And a few days ago, I told him that I
didn't want to see him anymore.

And the next thing I knew, my house was
robbed.

The following morning, I found this.

It's his.

I confronted him with it, and he
admitted it.

Actually, Mrs. Randall, Adam Hamilton
has a very different version.

What are you talking about?

The only thing your stories have in
common is the affair, but according to

Hamilton, he broke it off with you.

Well, that's a lie.

He says you won't let him go. You've
been stalking him day and night. Calling

him at all hours.

Showing up at his home, at school.

And when he told you to leave him alone,
you became angry and vindictive and

threatened to get even any way you
could.

He is lying. He even said you might
claim that he was the one who robbed

home.

And you believe him?

Frankly, Mrs. Randall, it doesn't matter
how we believe.

It's your word against his.

And you're going to need a heck of a lot
more proof than your former lover's

watch.

By the way...

If you are stalking him, we'd strongly
advise that you stop.

Maybe if I talk to Jeff, maybe he'd
listen to me. He's not going to listen.

He's done it before.

What?

Adam. He's done this all before.

It explains everything. His house is...

He even said it himself.

Thief. It sounds... If I can find one of
his victims and convince

her to go to the police... And just how
do you intend to do that?

Background check.

Find out where he lived before, where he
taught before Dalton.

There must have been other robberies.

I'm going to get this guy.

Are you crazy?

This guy is dangerous. Yeah.

It's gotta be stopped.

We're operating.

Morning, Shannon.

Donna, what is going on? Where's
Melinda? Shannon told me she hasn't been

school. Yeah, um, could we go somewhere
and get a cup of coffee? Oh, I've got to

get to work.

Um, this is sort of awkward, but, um, I
know your house was robbed.

Yeah.

Ours was as well.

Oh, that's awful.

I know, I know, and I think I know who
did it.

And you know him, too. Who are you
talking about?

Adam Hamilton.

Look, I really have to go. Jan, please.

Wait a minute.

He seduced me, too, and then robbed my
home.

Sound familiar?

Yeah, he actually admitted it to me.
This guy is a professional thief.

He's evil. He set us up, and we've got
to go to the police. Please, we can put

him away.

Look, are you crazy? I can't help you. I
can't get involved.

But you already are. Look, what happened
between Adam and me is over. I'd like

to keep it that way. Now, if you'll
excuse me, I have to go show a house.

Dawson Academy.

Yes, this is Mrs. Edwards from Boston
Liberty Bank.

Mr. Adam Hamilton has applied for a
personal loan, and he needs to verify

employment.

Mr. Hamilton is a teacher here. Uh -huh.
How long has he been employed at the

school? Just over six months.

Hmm. Less than a year. We're going to
need more than that.

Do you have a record of his previous
employment?

Do you have that on file?

Yes.

It's the Stanton Elementary School in
Woodbridge.

Stanton Elementary School at Woodbridge.
Okay.

Thank you very much.

There were a number of robberies at
Woodbridge at the time he taught there.

Uh -huh. I've got names, I've got
addresses, and I'm going to see if any

these victims are willing to talk.

I can't believe the amount of women he's
taken advantage of.

All married, all with kids.

I mean, I must have spoken to a half a
dozen of them, and not one of them is

willing to help.

He's a clever son of a bitch.

Of course they don't want to help.

They've got too much to lose.

But then, you know that.

I just dropped by to see my favorite
student.

Actually, your mom asked me to pick you
up.

Okay. So I get to go to my mom's?

I guess so.

Buckle up.

So how do you like your new school?

I like Dalton better.

I'm sorry to hear that things aren't
working out between you folks.

How's your mom handling it?

My mom's trying to fix things.

My dad's really mad.

I'm glad I get to see her today.

I didn't even get to talk to her
yesterday.

She was up in Woodbridge or something
all day.

Woodbridge? Early.

I wonder what's in Woodbridge.

It's Donna.

Could I speak to Melinda, please?

She hasn't come home yet.

What do you mean? She should have been
home an hour ago.

Well, I know.

I've called the school.

She never got on the school bus, Donna.

Oh, I've tried to reach Jeff.

Well, why didn't you call me? I am her
mother, you know.

Should I call the police?

No, she's here.

Melinda! Hi.

Thanks for the ride, Mr. Hamilton.

You're welcome.

I hope my giving Melinda a ride home
didn't give you cause for alarm, Mrs.

Randall.

Goodbye.

Are you sure you're okay?

I love Grandma's house, but I miss you.

Oh, soon, Melinda.

I don't think it's back the way we were
before.

I want us all back together again.

How can we not be together?

It's Christmas.

Oh, I know, sweetheart.

I want us back together.

Dad is going to be here in a minute.

Can I just sleep here tonight, Mom,
please?

Maybe next weekend, okay?

Linda!

I'm here, Daddy.

Sweetie, go grab your things. We don't
have a lot of time, okay?

So what happened?

This Hamilton guy wouldn't pick Melinda
up from school.

He's dangerous. Donna, I don't want to
hear about it.

I can't believe this is happening.

Bye,

baby. I love you.

I knew it. The same restaurant.

It's definitely the next one.

There she is.

Mary had written all over her.

Oh, my God.

They're leaving.

I've got to go.

Hi.

I'm Donna Randall.

Can I speak to you for a moment, Mrs.?
Marenville. Helen Marenville.

What's this about?

None of these incriminate Hamilton.

Well, yes, but don't you see that these
burglaries follow a pattern?

He moves, and they stop.

He relocates, and they start again.

Besides, some of these women even
admitted that they had affairs with him.

And yet, not one of them will cooperate
with us.

I met this woman this afternoon, Helen
Marinville. She lives here in town, she

has a child at Dalton, and she's having
an affair with Adam.

So?

Don't you see the pattern? It's obvious.
She is his next victim. Would she be

willing to come in?

Well, she doesn't want to get involved.
She's having marital problems. It is

temporarily separated.

Don't you see that could be me?

Adam befriends her, seduces her, and
then he robs her.

But she's having second thoughts about
him.

So she told Adam that she's going away
for the weekend with her husband.

And you think that Hamilton's going to
take the opportunity to break into her

house and run her?

Perfect opportunity.

Why wouldn't he?

Marindale.

Marindale.

Thank you.

2261 Silver Lake?

Is that it?

Yes.

I'm Detective Lentino. This is Detective
Drummond from the 25th Precinct. What

can I do for you, Detective?

We're looking for a Helen Maronville.

Yes, well, I'm Helen Maronville.

This isn't Helen Maronville.

I beg your pardon?

Do you have a daughter, Mrs. Maronville?

I have no children, Detective.

Now, what is it you want?

Well, there's obviously been some sort
of mistake.

I'd like to apologize, and I'm sorry for
your trouble, ma 'am.

Have a good night.

Happy holidays to you.

That's not the Marenville I met.

Yeah. We already got that.

I can't believe I let you talk us into
this.

Don't you see he set us up?

Do me a favor, Mrs. Randall.

Whatever game you and Hamilton are
playing, play it in your own time, all

Did you really think I didn't know you
were falling?

I can't win, Donna.

This is your last warning, so you let it
go.

Let go.

too far.

You're way over your head.

Honey, are you listening to me? Yeah.

This man, he's evil.

He's ruthless.

There's no way you can play in his
league.

I'll do what I have to.

I've got nothing left to lose.

Except your life.

You're not going to believe this.

I have the goods on Adam Hamilton.

Oh, my God.

He really did it. He's got brass ones,
Donna.

How did he get his psychiatric file?

I guess we can presume he stole it.

This is sick.

Do you believe his father?

Pimping out his teenage son?

How twisted is that?

He made his kid have...

...women to distract them while he
robbed them.

Adam had a love -hate relationship with
his father which transcended the grave.

When he was a child, his father would
beat him when he wouldn't steal and

him when he did.

If I didn't hate him so much, I'd
actually feel sorry for him.

So he steals out of guilt, seeking his
dead father's forgiveness. That I

understand why he steals, but...

What's with the seduction first?

He's just doing what his father taught
him.

Oh, my God.

What?

He killed a woman.

What? He was 16.

He strangled her with a red bra.

Emily Sinclair.

He said his wife's name was Emily.

Emily Sinclair, an older woman.

may have been killed in part because she
bore a close resemblance to his mother

who ran off, abandoning him when he was
five.

Exhibiting classic sociopathic behavior,
he equates all women with his mother's

betrayal. Hence, his distrust of all
women and his need to control them, to

humiliate and punish them, and possibly
to do them harm.

That's it.

Drop it, Donna. Just let him go.

You know what, Ross?

There has to be more tapes.

There have to be tapes of him with his
other victims.

I've got to go back, Ross.

If I get those tapes, it'll prove
everything.

How long have you had this place?

A couple of years.

It didn't take me that long to renovate
the place.

Wow, this is huge.

Don't you get lonely living here by
yourself?

Maybe sometimes.

I'll be right back.

I'm waiting.

Why

don't we wait

on the champagne?

Here you are.

Here's to your chair. Of course.

Good night.

Come on, Roz. Why aren't you answering
the phone?

Hi,

Detective Latino, please.

Latino? No, he's gone for the day.

Do you want to leave a message?

Yes, tell him this is urgent. It's Donna
Randall, and he has to call me as soon

as possible.

I'll tell him.

Thank you.

Listen, I've been thinking a lot about
what you told me the other day and the

thought of that man out there doing to
other women what he did to me, what he's

done to you.

I want to help you, okay?

What do you need me to do?

Will you go to the police with me?

Yes. How about tomorrow, tomorrow
morning?

Yeah, I can be at your place around 8
.30.

That would be great.

I'll be here.

Yes, you will.

You both will.

Hello?

It's me.

Melinda? Mom, I love you.

Oh, sweetheart, I love you too.

I want to come home. I don't want... I
don't want to live with Grandma anymore.

Where are you, Melinda?

I took the bus from Grandma's.

I'm at Grove Street Stop.

Can you come get me?

Of course, I'll be right there.

Do Mommy a favor.

I want you to stay in the phone booth,
okay?

Close the door, and I don't want you to
talk to anybody.

Do you understand?

I'm going to have to drop you off at
Roz's for a little while.

And then we'll spend the rest of the day
together.

Okay.

Jen?

Where are you?

You

should

have done it, Donna.

You want Jill to love her?

And stalk her, luring my current lover
here to kill her.

But you end up killing each other.

It's rather clever, don't you think?

Adam. You know the old expression?

Killing two birds with one stone.

Just put the knife down.

There's no one in here.

I've got to get you to a hospital.

I need an ambulance.

71 Chestnut Avenue.

My husband has been stabbed. Please,
please hurry.

Hold on, baby.

Hold on, I know. I know you're going to
be okay.

Talk to me, hey.

Please, just talk to me.

I'm sorry, I didn't believe you.
