Original subtitles

Are you comfortable, Blair?

Yes.

Excellent. So when you see an attractive man, what are your first thoughts?

What do you want to do with him?

Love him.

I'll ask that again. What do you want to do with him?

Love him.

I'm sorry, I don't think I understood that.

When you see an attractive man, what do you want to do to him?

Blair, what do you want to do to him?

Kill him.

Hangover from hell, oh, how I regret you.

Hair of the dog, I'm out to get you.

Last call, hit the wall, face to the ground.

Hi.

Baby, are you awake?

Honey, I was wondering if you—

I'm not, no, it's only too tired.

It's been weeks too.

Tomorrow.

That's what you said yesterday and the day before.

Don, I am exhausted because you know I work all day.

And I don't.

I'm sorry, okay? I don't know what you want me to do.

Well, you got to do something, don't you think?

We can't keep going on like this.

What are you suggesting?

You know what I'm suggesting.

Oh, not again.

Why not?

What, couples therapy? Really? You really think it's going to help?

It can't hurt, can it?

Do you know my friend Christine and her husband tried that and it didn't do anything for them?

That's them.

And it's expensive. I mean, how can we afford it?

We can afford it, Jane.

We've got the house, thanks to your family. That's not the problem.

I just don't see the point.

The point is trying to save our marriage.

I'm sorry, I'm just not interested.

Oh. Not interested in couples therapy or not interested in saving this marriage?

Don, come on. You know that I love you.

But you won't make love to me anymore.

Okay, I see.

I guess I'm sleeping on the couch tonight.

Don, don't be silly.

I'm telling you, I just don't understand him, man.

It wasn't like this at the beginning.

It's never like that in the beginning.

I thought she was cheating on me with some other guy.

I'm pretty sure that's not it.

Some women are just frigid, you know?

My wife had the same problem.

Had?

Papa, papa, papa, come on, guys.

Quit all the yawning, huh?

We got three more tune-ups to get through before lunchtime, so let's get to it, huh?

Right away, boss.

What do you mean had?

I mean, we're working on the problem.

What'd you do?

Give me some tips, man.

We're seeing someone.

What do you mean, like a counselor?

Yeah, a couples therapist.

I've tried a million times to get Jane to see a therapist. She's just not interested.

She says it's a bunch of crap.

I said the same thing, but this woman's different.

Angie says she's the best therapist in the state of California.

I've seen her a few times now and it's made a world of difference.

How's she different?

She's got this special technique that, well, it's hard to explain.

Try.

Well, I don't exactly know.

We went to a couple sessions together, but after that, she sees Angie by herself.

And it worked?

Oh, brother, has it worked? Like night and day.

I don't think I can convince Jane to see someone. I've tried.

I think I've got her card here somewhere.

Yeah, here you go.

Thanks, man.

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

Sweetheart, please. I don't know what else to do.

I just think it's a waste of time and money.

John and Angie swear by her. She's really helped them.

Okay. It's one time. But after the first session, if I don't think it's working, I'm going to stop.

Sure. Sure.

Okay.

Hello, I'm Dr. Bradshaw. Are you my 2 o'clock appointment?

Yes. Hello, I'm Don. This is my wife, Jane.

So nice to meet you. Please come in.

Please come in.

Well, to start, why don't you tell me something about yourselves?

Well, we've been married for four years.

I work as an auto mechanic.

Jane is a legal secretary.

I see. And how did you meet?

Her law firm represented my garage against a lawsuit from a customer.

And when did your troubles begin?

When was that? About six months ago.

Jane, you've been awful quiet.

Would you like to tell me the nature of your problem?

Well.

I can assure you I've heard it all.

I don't mean any disrespect.

I just don't understand how talking about this is going to resolve anything.

Treatment comes in many forms.

But I have to get to the root of your problem in order to figure out how to help you.

Well, she isn't interested in sex anymore.

Don.

Well, that's the reason why we're here, right?

Oh my God, this is so embarrassing.

There's nothing to be embarrassed about.

Many women find that their sex drive is diminished after some years of marriage.

Really?

Certainly. There's nothing unusual about it.

So what's the solution?

You may well be a candidate for a new treatment I've developed.

Treatment?

Yes. It's a combination of hypnosis and theta wave therapy.

It's designed to both identify and break down psychological barriers and releases a chemical

hormone that may increase your sex drive.

Some of my patients jokingly refer to it as the love machine.

And it really works?

There are no guarantees, but I have helped quite a few couples with it.

That's what they think, honey.

It worked for John and Angie.

Okay. I'll give it a go.

Excellent. Don, I'll have to ask you to wait outside so that Jane can fully concentrate.

Oh, of course.

Good luck, honey.

Well, you'll just lie down on the couch.

What do I have to do?

Just relax and lie still.

What does the machine do?

It's complicated, but essentially, it stimulates theta wave activity in your brain and it allows

us to access your subconscious to get to the root of your problem.

If you say so.

Are you comfortable?

Yes.

Okay, good. It's important that your entire body be relaxed. Is it?

Yes.

Now, to start, why don't you tell me about your relationship with your husband?

What do you want to know?

Well, I assume the two of you used to have sex, so what changed?

I'm not sure exactly.

Is he kind to you or is he cruel?

I wouldn't say cruel, exactly.

Does he hit you?

No. But he gets angry.

I mean, he likes to yell.

I see. We'll move on from that now.

Next, I want you to tell me about your most passionate sexual fantasy.

Oh, you certainly don't waste any time to you.

Okay. Well, I'm laying out by the pool.

It's a gorgeous day and I'm working on my tan.

And then he shows up. Who are you?

Hi, I'm Derek, your pool boy.

I see. Carry on.

I can't take my eyes off him. He's perfect.

From his chiseled body to his perfect green eyes.

Derek, come over here, would you?

Yes, ma'am.

Much less.

Much less.

As his hands touch my body, I feel a sensation I haven't felt in years.

What just happened?

How do you feel?

I feel good. I mean, satisfied.

I don't really know how to explain it.

More comfortable in your own skin?

Yeah, I guess you could say that.

Excellent. This is a good start.

How did it go?

It went very well. Very productive first session.

Jane, you okay?

Yeah, I'm good.

So what's next?

Well, we do need to do a few more treatments before we start to see results.

I'd like to set up an appointment for tomorrow.

I think I have a 5 o'clock available.

Does that work for you?

Yes.

Okay. And Don, you don't need to be here for the remaining sessions.

The treatment is only for the person that's having difficulties.

Of course. Thank you very much, doctor.

You're very welcome. And Jane, I'll see you tomorrow.

Thank you, doctor.

See, honey? I told you it'd be worth it.

I think you might be right.

Angie, I'm home.

Angie?

Welcome home.

What a nice surprise.

It's a very special night.

Is it?

Mm-hmm. Here, open this.

Okay.

Hello?

It's time.

Candlelight, fine wine. What's the occasion?

I just wanted to do something nice for you because I love you.

And I love you too. To us.

To the continued success of Dr. Bradshaw's work.

Certainly drink to that.

Good morning.

Wow. Good morning. You're awfully chipper this morning.

I feel great. Energized. You know, I really think Dr.

Bradshaw's therapy is going to work.

It's already having a positive effect.

I mean, Don, this could be a whole new beginning for us.

I hope so.

Don't be late for work.

Oh, yeah, I got to run.

I'll try to be home on time today.

Don't rush. Remember, I have my 5 o'clock appointment with Dr. Bradshaw.

Oh, yeah, that's right. I can't wait to hear about this one.

See you tonight.

Have a great day. See you.

Bye.

Yeah, I got you. Thanks for calling, huh?

Mr. Danvers, I know, okay?

I know we're backed up, but what do you expect me to do when John doesn't show up for work?

Was that him on the phone?

Nah, that wasn't him.

Well, I tell you, to fire his ass if we weren't already so shorthanded.

Listen, Don, I got to talk to you.

Look, if you're telling me to hurry up, I get it, okay?

No, I got to talk to you.

Don!

What?

John's dead.

What? You shitting me?

Nah, it's true.

What?

I just saw him yesterday.

Yeah, looks like he got murdered.

Murdered? How?

He said it was his wife. They arrested her.

That's not possible. He was telling me yesterday how well they were getting along.

Who knows how these things go, huh?

You all right, man?

Yeah, yeah, I'm okay.

Hi.

Hello.

I'm Jeff.

Jane.

Are you a patient of Dr. Bradshaw's?

No. Well, yes. Technically, my wife's in there.

I'm here to pick her up.

Is she getting the new treatment?

Yeah, the love machine.

Same here.

Yeah. How's it working out for you?

Yeah, wonderful, actually. I just had the one treatment, but I mean, it's made the world of difference.

Yeah.

You?

Yeah, my wife's in her final treatment.

It's been a real life changer.

Oh, good. I'm glad to hear.

I was really skeptical at first, but it seems to really work.

I couldn't agree with you more.

Blair.

Dr. Bradshaw, I don't know how to thank you.

Yeah, me too. Thank you.

Well, I've done all I can do.

From here on out, it's up to you.

Both of you, of course.

Of course. Thanks again. Come on, honey, let's go.

I think tonight's the night for a wonderful dinner at your favorite restaurant. What do you say?

Sounds marvelous.

Good luck.

Thanks.

Well, Jane, are you ready?

Yeah, seems like two happy customers.

Come this way.

Up until now, we focused on your desires, what stimulates you mentally.

Now I'd like to focus on what stimulates you physically.

It's very important that you get in touch with every sensation that your body feels to listen

to what it's trying to tell you.

I've turned the machine off, but you'll remain under hypnosis.

And this will allow you to discover the truth that lies in your subconscious. Do you understand?

Yes.

Okay, good. Tell me what turns you on physically.

What parts of your body give you the most arousal?

I like a soft, gentle kiss.

Most guys just try and stick their tongues down your throat.

But a soft, gentle kiss, almost like a whisper, that really turns me on.

Like that? Yes.

And then?

And my breasts. My gentle caress is all they need.

Jane, is that you?

Yes. Don, I had such a great session today.

What's the matter?

Sit down. I have some bad news.

What is it?

Well, you're scaring me, sweetheart.

I don't know how to tell you this. John's dead.

What? How?

He was murdered.

Oh, my God. I have to call Angie.

No, you can't.

What do you mean I can't?

Jane, Angie's the one that killed him.

What? Why? That's insane.

I know, I know, but it's true.

They arrested her last night.

What happened?

Apparently, she stabbed him with a corkscrew in his chest.

Some of the neighbors heard him scream and they called the cops.

When they arrived, they found him in a pool of blood with a corkscrew still in his chest.

Where was Angie?

She was packing up her clothes.

She still had his blood on her hands.

Oh, my God. It's so incredible to believe.

I know. I thought we knew them so well.

Me too.

I told him I wanted it rare.

I didn't expect it to jump off the plate and run away.

Don't be silly. It was perfectly cooked and you know it.

Yeah, I know. Did you have a good time tonight?

You know I did. Dinner at my favorite and very expensive restaurant.

Very expensive.

Accompanied by the best husband in the world.

That would be me.

Just a second, sweetheart.

Yeah.

Hello?

It's time.

Who's that?

Wrong number. Hey, you know the only thing that would make this night better?

What? Whatever it is, I'll buy it for you.

Nothing's too good for my wife.

This.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Mmm. Mmm. Oh, my God, you mean.

What did you think I meant?

Baby, let me just get us home.

I don't think I can wait that long.

I will run all the red lights.

Baby, don't make me wait.

The lights only green for so long.

You mean like right here? In the car? In the parking lot?

Why not?

I haven't done it in the car since high school.

Well, then don't you think you're overdue?

So what? Catch us.

Jeff, the parking lot's empty. He closed the place.

Oh, what the hell?

Kill him.

I feel good. I'm satisfied.

The body of real estate developer Jeff Monroe was found early this morning in the parking lot of a downtown restaurant.

Police speculate that Monroe may have been killed by blunt force trauma to the head.

Efforts to locate the victim's wife have been unsuccessful so far, and it remains unknown at

this time if she is considered a suspect or another potential victim.

This comes on the heels of yesterday's brutal slaying of auto mechanic John.

What's this world coming to?

It's like everyone's crazy or something.

It does seem strange, doesn't it?

How do you mean?

We haven't had a murder in this town for over three years, and now we have two in as many days?

Yeah, well, you know what they say. It comes in threes. I wonder who's next.

This isn't funny, Danvers.

It's not supposed to be funny.

It's got to be a coincidence, right?

Some woman kills her husband for who knows what reason, and the other one, it looks like a simple robbery.

A robbery where a man's left for dead in a parking lot?

And don't forget, the wife is missing also.

Angie would have been missing too if she had gotten away in time.

That's true.

Something's not right here.

Well, fortunately, it's not our job to figure it out.

That's what we got the cops for.

We got cars to fix.

How you doing on this?

Working on it, boss.

All right, well, get to it. Speed it up.

Welcome home, sweetheart. Here you go.

Hi, honey. Well, thank you.

I could actually use this.

Rough day at work?

It isn't bad.

There was another murder last night.

I know. I saw it on TV.

Do you know where I met the guy?

What guy? The dead guy? The real estate guy?

Yeah.

How did you meet him?

At Dr. Bradshaw's office. You know, he and his wife are patients of hers.

When did you see them?

Yesterday afternoon when I showed up for my appointment.

And he was killed the very same night?

Creepy, huh?

It's a little more than creepy, don't you think?

What do you mean?

You don't think it's strange that John and Angie were patients of Dr.

Bradshaw, and he ends up dead, and now this guy and his wife, also patients of Dr.

Bradshaw, he ends up dead, and maybe his wife too?

It's got to be a coincidence.

I mean, don't you think?

Coincidence? How could it be?

I have no idea what's going on, but I can assure you this.

You are not going to see Dr. Bradshaw again. That's for sure.

Oh, no, Don, I have to.

No, it's too dangerous.

No, you're just being silly, okay? I'm paranoid.

I don't think so.

You were the one who convinced me to go and see her in the first place.

That was off of John's recommendation.

Look how he ended up, and Angie too.

Yes, but you and I aren't John and Angie, okay? And plus, Dr.

Bradshaw's treatments have really been helping me.

Oh, really? They have? Because we still haven't had.

I just need a little more time, okay?

I have an appointment tomorrow.

On a Saturday.

It's the only time she could fit me in, and it's my last appointment. But after that,

everything will be back to normal.

Okay. I'm sorry. I just, I'm worried about you, baby.

Don't be. Everything's going to be fine.

Well, if that's the case, then why can't we just.

After tomorrow. Okay, like I said, one more treatment.

Okay, just promise me you'll be careful.

Always.

Listen, I'm going to go and take a shower, and then I will make you some dinner, okay?

Sure, that sounds good.

Okay.

Don, I'm off for my appointment.

Is there any way I can talk you out of this?

Or at least take you there?

Don, we spoke about this, okay?

It's my last treatment, and you know Dr.

Bradshaw said the therapy was just for me.

But don't you trust me?

Of course I trust you.

I just don't trust her.

I'll be fine. And when I get home, trust me, it'll be worth it.

Okay, just be careful.

Okay. I love you.

I love you too.

Dr. Stephanie Bradshaw, PhD, Ivy League educated clinical psychologist, and well-known marriage

counselor and therapist, yada, yada, yada.

Graduated summa cum laude in 2004.

Licensed to practice in six states, including California, Nevada.

Dr. Stephanie Bradshaw, veterinary no, don't do that.

November 2010, psychologist Dr. Stephanie Bradshaw has had her license revoked in the state

of Colorado after attacking and nearly killing her husband, who had, in a drunken rage, forced

himself on her and beaten their daughter, who has been in a coma ever since as a result. Dr.

Bradshaw claims self-defense, and no charges were filed by local prosecutors. Oh my God!

Jane! Jane!

Don? What are you doing here?

Come on, we're getting out of here.

What are you talking about?

Where's Bradshaw?

She just stepped out for a minute.

Come on, we're leaving.

Don, stop it. You're being silly.

Jane, she can't be trusted.

Years ago, her husband did something awful to her, and I think that that's her way of getting revenge.

That's crazy. But she helped me. She's helped us.

You keep saying that. Has she? Has she helped anyone?

Hello?

It's time.

Let me prove it to you.

Jane, what are you doing?

This is not the time.

It's the exact time.

Now it doesn't feel like the right time?

It sure does.

There. What the hell are you doing?

Will you calm down, please? What's gone into you?

What has gone into you?

It's time to die, you son of a bitch.

Don't make me do this.

Jane, sweetheart, talk to me. Say something.

What happened?

It's okay now. Nothing happened. Jane.

Mm.

It's okay. It's okay. I'll explain later.

Jane never did fully remember everything that had happened, a side effect of the treatment.

They were never able to explain what power the so-called love machine had over the victims of Stephanie Bradshaw.

She had somehow used it to get a sort of twist of revenge against a man who had once wronged her.

My wife and I spent a very long night trying to make sense of it all. A very long night.

What couples therapy really, plus Dr.

Bradshaw's treatments, have really been helping me. Oh my God.

It's so incredible to believe.

But you won't make love to me anymore.

Okay, just promise me you'll be careful.

Apparently, she stabbed him with a corkscrew in his chest.

Don't make me do this.

Dr. Bradshaw, I don't know how to thank you.

Baby, don't make me wait.

The lights only green for so long.

Kill him.

I mean, we're working on the problem.

Candlelight, fine wine, what's the occasion?

Well, hello, handsome. Honey, if I had turned down every married man that came in here, I'd be out of business.

Are you a patient of Dr. Bradshaw's?

No. Well, yes. Technically. My wife's in there.

I'm here to pick her up.

I haven't done any cars since high school.

Hi, I'm Jack, your pool boy.

We got three more tune-ups to get through before lunchtime. John's dead.

What's this world coming to?

It's like everyone's crazy or something.

Next, I want you to tell me about your most passionate sexual fantasy.

You know, I've done all I can do.

From here on out, it's up to you.
