And she just married her fourth husband.

There must be something in your family.

Guys, knock it off. Come on, Mrs. M.

All right.

I wish.

It's so nice of you. How did you know?

I looked on your job application form.

You'll make a fine attorney someday, my dear.

Somebody,

somewhere, gotta help me get away from this grind I'm in.

But nothing's gonna help me if I can't find someone who is in the shape I'm in.

Too many nights I need someone to hold.

I can't break away when I feel this cold. But it's hot tonight.

Won't you help me, darling, please?

Because it's hot.

Tonight, gonna bring you to your knees.

Somebody somewhere gonna take the time to look into this heart of mine.

And nothing's gonna stop me if I know that I won't let it get away this time.

But I can't get away when I feel this cold. But it's hot tonight.

Would you help me, darling, please?

Because it's hot tonight.

Gonna bring you to your knees.

Because it's hot tonight.

Yeah, it's hot.

Night.

Hot night.

Hot night.

Ta-da!

I'm out of here.

date. It's almost 11 o'clock. So?

Seeing Joe.

Are you kidding?

I dumped that brainless jockstrap moron a week ago.

I'm seeing a mature, intelligent man now.

and take the shortcut through the woods. What about Joe?

Do me a favor. Just get rid of him.

Oh, now what am I supposed to do?

Don't get him mad. He's a mean bastard.

Oh, great.

Cut this money. She's asleep.

Don't give me that shit.

Get the bitch down here. Would you watch your language, please?

She's not fucking here, is she? I told you, she's in bed.

Yeah, I bet she's in bed.

But it ain't here.

And I bet the bitch ain't alone.

Go home, Joe.

Nobody makes a jerk out of me. Yeah, no one has to.

Well, she'll be sorry.

Suck up to her with a bitch. Think she's too good for me?

I'll show her.

He's gone.

What a Neanderthal.

What does she see in him anyway?

A great body.

No, no, no. There has to be more than just sex.

He's an animal. Be excited for a while.

Somebody there?

Come on, you guys.

This isn't funny.

No, that's okay.

I'm gonna get some exercise.

She was stabbed through the heart with a sharp object.

Probably a very large knife.

What about these splashes on her wrist?

Given the flow of blood on the upper torso, death was instantaneous when the

heart was penetrated.

Now, my guess is these wounds were inflicted post-mortem, but I'll know

more after the autopsy.

Was she raped?

No visible signs, but I'll know for sure after I get her on the table.

Poor kid.

Can you place the time of death?

By the amount of rigor mortis set in, I'd say 8 to 10 hours.

I'll do a body temperature reading.

You want to wait, Mike?

I'll pass on that. Howard! Yes?

After you do these pictures, get me everything within 100 yards of here.

Dog find anything?

No, they picked up a scent, but it didn't go anywhere.

Any footprints?

No, the ground's too hard.

Chris! Yeah?

Take the dogs up there and fetch behind the trees.

Right, Lieutenant. Come on, girls.

What'd Mary say?

The bastard put a knife through her heart and slashed her wrist.

Jesus, Mike.

We got a real sickle on our hands here.

I wonder if Joe had anything to do with her death.

He's so jealous. I bet he did.

I can't believe it.

I can't be so upset.

I'll get it.

I'm sorry. My name is Kim Anderson. I'm the president of Galen. Hi.

Hi.

Um, girls, these officers would like to ask us some questions about Susan.

I'm Lieutenant Kane. This is Sergeant Neal.

We know it's a bad time, but we need to ask some questions about Susan's murder.

Murder? Oh, my God.

Oh, girls, Mrs. M, Mrs. M, please, let's try to pull ourselves together.

Mrs. M, why don't you go and make us some tea? Tea would be good. And some

pie. I'll help you.

Lieutenant,

please sit down.

How can I help?

Did Susan have enemies?

Enemies? No.

Her ex-boyfriend Joe was pretty upset about the breakup.

He came looking for her last night.

What happened?

We were having a birthday party for our new house mother, Mrs. Manville. We call

her Mrs. M.

It ended about 11.

Robin and I were cleaning up. We saw Susan leaving.

She had a date.

With who?

I don't know.

When did Joe get here?

About 11, the same time Susan was leaving.

She saw him, so she went out the back.

What happened when Joe arrived?

Well, I told him that she was asleep.

He didn't believe me. He became abusive. He made threats.

What kind of threats?

He called her a bitch.

He said he was going to make her really sorry for dumping him.

Why did Susan break up with him?

He wasn't in her league.

I mean, he's good-looking if you like that kind of type, but I guess she just

got bored with him.

Is he a student?

No. I mean, I doubt if he even graduated from high school.

Susan was slumming.

He used him. He excited her for a while, and then he became a nuisance.

Do you think Joe had time to catch up with her?

Maybe. It was only a few minutes later.

Would you happen to know Joe's last name?

Reynolds. He's a bouncer at the Blue Stallion Bar.

Is there anything else you can tell me?

I don't think so.

Well, thanks for your help. How's Kathy doing?

She's sleeping.

We gave her an entire bottle of brandy.

That'll put her out.

Kane!

Your office told me you'd be here. I think we need to talk. What do you want,

Griffin?

Um, I'm going to go check on Cass quickly.

I'm the head of security here, and I want to find out why the hell I'm being

kept out of this investigation.

This is a murder investigation.

It has nothing to do with campus security. The hell it doesn't. The

victim was a student.

Forget it. I don't want a bunch of amateurs getting in my way. It happened

on my campus.

Which comes under my jurisdiction.

I'm entitled to know what's going on.

I'll send your report.

You're such a prick.

Just stay out of my way. You think you're such a... Big shot. You always

have, even in high school.

You're going down, Cain.

And I'll be there to see it.

You've always been such a loud mouth.

I'll see you later, Cain.

Bye, Kim.

You know him pretty well?

Sure. From pop-pop to all the girls.

I haven't quite figured out whether he's a nice guy or really a big lech.

You don't like him, do you?

He date any of the students?

I've heard stories, but nothing I know is fact.

Oh, here's Susan's address book.

Joe's in there.

Hey, Mike.

I got everybody's station, man. The boyfriend sounds like a real good

suspect. We ought to check him out.

Pay him a visit.

Goodbye, girls.

Bye. Bye.

Lieutenant Haynes, I hope to see you again.

You can count on it.

In the meantime, keep everyone out of Susan's room until we can go through it.

Did you tell him about Joe?

Yeah, I told him everything.

What? I think he's kind of like that good-looking cop. A good-looking cop in

the house and I missed it?

Does he want to talk to me?

Come on, Bunny, don't you have enough guys?

There's no such thing as...

Too many guys well, maybe susan had one too many

Come on, come on.

I need to move.

Gotta be here.

Please, open up!

Oh.

Keep it hot, babe.

We'll be right back.

Yeah. You Joe Reynolds?

Who wants to know? Please. Fuck off.

Come on out here.

Come on out here.

You want to ask him, Lieutenant?

Joe's out back.

Get his statement.

I don't know what you thought you were doing.

Fuck you.

Lieutenant Kane, please.

I want to talk to you about your ex-girlfriend's murder.

Got nothing to say except the bitch got what she deserves.

Why don't we go down to the police station and discuss that?

Fuck you. I ain't going nowhere.

Don't make this any harder than it has to be.

Don't bother, pup.

Get off.

Come back when you get up.

I didn't do it. I swear I didn't. We think you did. I know it looks bad, but

I was mad.

Mad enough to kill? No, no.

Sure, I went to the sorority house, but Susan wasn't even there.

It says here, Joe, you like to hit women.

You've been arrested for it twice. I wasn't convicted.

No charges would drop. Come on, Joe. Get him off, Joe. Okay, okay.

But I didn't kill Susan.

I went home.

There was a poker game going on. I played till three in the morning. You

didn't do it? Who did? I don't know.

Maybe the new boyfriend.

Give us a name. What's his name?

I don't know.

I think it's one of her instructors.

Was it a professor?

Yeah. Yeah. What professor, Joe?

What's his name? Talk to us, Joe. I see a lawyer. I got right.

Right?

You got right. Yeah, you got right. Go to Susan, Joe.

Listen.

Why is

it

the men are so fascinated with women's underwear?

I was just looking.

Oh, I don't think you're gonna find the culprit in there.

Well, you never know.

Mrs. M said you'd be up here. Can I help you?

Yeah, was Susan having an affair with one of her professors?

Gee, I'm not... Oh, hi.

I didn't know there was a man in here. Yeah, right.

Bunny can smell a man at 100 yards. It's really quite amazing.

Hi.

I'm Bunny Bixby.

I'm Michael Caine. It's a pleasure.

Ooh, I'm sorry.

I can't watch this anymore. I'm going to class.

I can.

Um, I'd love to help in any way I can.

I just love policemen. They're so... manly.

Well, right now I'm just trying to find out who Susan had a date with the night

she was murdered.

Oh, really?

I'll bet it was Professor Thompson.

She's saddened seeing him.

Are you positive?

Of course. I heard it on the phone with him the other night.

He wanted to date me, but I don't date married men.

A girl has to have someone.

Well, that's very admirable, Bunny.

You're not married.

I can tell.

No, I'm not.

I've got to go.

I'll be here if you need me.

Lieutenant Kane.

Yeah. I'm John Thompson.

I got your message.

Thanks for coming. Sit down.

I suppose this is about Susan.

I appreciate you not playing any games with me.

Why should I? I've done nothing wrong.

Except cheat on your wife with a student.

That's none of your business.

It is when one turns up dead.

Look, my wife and I have an understanding.

I don't interfere with her pastimes. She doesn't interfere with mine.

Your wife knows?

No names.

I try to be discreet.

You were on a date with Susan Sunday night.

We, uh, she had a party earlier. We arranged to meet in my office around 11.

She never came.

Did you get worried when she didn't show?

No, not really.

I figured she got tied up at the party.

I waited until midnight and then went home.

Anyone see you?

My wife.

I got home about 12, 15.

We had a glass of wine together and then went to bed.

Susan was murdered between 11 and midnight.

Where were you then?

I told you.

I was in my office.

Alone.

So you have no alibi for the time of the murder?

I don't need an alibi.

I'm not guilty.

Are you in love with Susan?

No, I wasn't.

I was physically attracted to her.

Is she in love with you?

Maybe. A little.

Maybe a lot.

Maybe she wanted more.

Maybe she became too much trouble.

Maybe you killed her.

I never touched her in anger.

I'm leaving.

From now on, talk to my attorney.

Professor.

Don't leave town.

Why would I?

I'm over here.

Going all the way up the driveway.

I wonder what the professor's up to now.

I bet you it's a woman.

He's a busy guy.

That'll be too busy for my taste.

Yep.

So what do you want to do now, Mike?

Maybe one of us should go up and take a look.

I don't like this guy.

Neither do I.

But you think he's the killer?

I don't know.

But whoever the killer is, he's playing a game with us.

Yeah, a dying game.

I'm going to go check it out.

Wait here. All right.

Be careful, man.

Cover my back.

Has there been any new information about the murders? It's been a week.

A few suspects, but no hard evidence.

So what?

Murder always is.

But don't you sometimes get numb to this sort of thing?

I think if that happened, I'd quit.

Oh, God, that was really insensitive of me. I'm sorry.

Okay, you're forgiven.

How's Kathy holding up? She's better. Her mom came and took her home.

She got a bad shot.

Got a date?

No. No, I just realized I missed dinner.

Well, I know a place that has the best burgers in town.

Is that an invitation?

You know, you guys, I really think Joe did it. You should have seen how mad he

was that night. You know what? Can we just talk about something else?

You know what?

This is the best game we've had all season.

We should be able to beat the Tricycle. I really think we're going to get the

trophy this year.

I'm starving.

Let's go get something to eat. Are you coming with us?

You guys go. I'm going to go. Come on, Rob. You don't have to eat.

If I see food, I'll eat. I know.

I've got to study for a test tomorrow.

Call me Mike.

Mike.

Tim?

Lock all the doors and windows. I don't wear anything else.

The same M.O.

Almost the identical wound.

What's with the slashes on the wrist?

Our killer's living as a message.

What, that he's a psycho?

Yeah.

Something else.

I think we've got the pattern for a serial killer.

Or maybe he just had something against him.

I hope you're right, partner.

But for now, we have to look at the serial aspect, too.

This was the day Susan was crowned homecoming queen.

She was so beautiful.

Look at Robin.

That was the day that she did that big home run.

That was the only time we ever beat Delta by girls in softball. God, we were

bad.

But she was so proud.

I wouldn't want to kill them.

I don't know.

Was Robin seeing Joe, too?

No way.

She never would have put up with this crap.

I mean, it was Robin who told me that Joe was slapping Susan around.

Is Joe capable of murder?

I don't know.

I'm so incredibly scared.

If it wasn't Joe, was it somebody that we know?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Right.

Listen, Kim, I don't want you or any of the girls going out alone at night.

Right. Exactly.

I'll talk to you later.

Hey, partner.

Yeah, I just talked to Mary.

She ID'd a hair follicle found on the latest victim's fingernail.

And? Male.

Probably from the forearm.

Can't you run a DNA?

Not that lucky. You see, it's got to be attached to the root.

Damn.

Yeah, sorry.

Those are cases involving knife murders in the last five years. I looked through

it. Nothing really fits our M.O.

I sent what we had to the Fed. They're gonna get back with me.

You know, Mike, I've been thinking.

Maybe Joe Reynolds or the professor killed Susan.

Robin knew something about it, and he had to get rid of her, too.

But why the slashes on the wrist?

Makes you think he was a psycho.

I don't know.

I got a bad feeling about this one.

Joe Reynolds and the professor both have shaky alibis.

Damn, I want the son of a bitch.

Well, I want him, too.

We both do.

Listen, I have to go speak to the mayor and the chief.

I'll be back.

All right.

Hey, Mike, don't get too personally involved.

It's too late for that.

Mr. Crane. Hello, Kim.

Please come in. I can't stay.

I brought Susan's book of poetry.

She had asked me to read it.

She was very talented.

Such a tragedy.

I'll put it with her stuff.

I know her parents would want it. I'm sure they will.

You think you're safe in a small town.

Them two young girls are murdered.

Stabbed to death.

I know. And then to the wrist flash.

I shouldn't have said anything. It wasn't in the paper.

Mrs.

M, this is Holly Crane, Susan's English professor.

How do you do, Professor?

Yes.

Yes, hello.

Well, I really have to go.

Thank you.

Is there something wrong?

I accidentally mentioned about the wrist and she just fell apart.

Poor dear.

It's a wonder I keep my sanity.

We're lucky to have you looking after us, Mrs. M. I made some pie.

Let's have some. Mrs. M., your pies are going to make us a fatter sorority on

campus.

Hey, you!

Stop! Police!

Who are you? What the fuck are you doing looking in the window?

I was checking the windows. Let him go, Michael. He's checked. He was looking in

the window. No, I wasn't. I was checking the windows for security.

Michael, please be telling the truth. He works here. Are you okay?

Yeah.

Leave me alone. Why'd you run?

Shit, I didn't know you were a cop.

Michael, let him up. He's telling the truth.

I promise you.

I didn't mean to scare you, Professor.

I'm just glad it was you.

You shouldn't be out here so late.

Well, I know. I was grading papers, and before I knew it, it was dark.

Well, here you go.

Thank you. I'll watch you while you go to your car.

Oh, thank you.

Good night.

Good night, Professor.

I hate our puppies.

Yeah.

At least he knows the same guy that did all three.

You really think we've got a serial killer on our hands?

Someone who wants us to think that.

You mean someone wanted only one of them dead and killed all three just to cover

it up?

Maybe.

What do you think of the professor's husband?

He took it real hard.

Could have been just an act.

I'll check him out later. But for now, we have to look at the serial theory.

Don't serial killers usually stick with one type?

You mean, why kill two young pretty girls and a middle-aged professor?

I mean, maybe he had something against the school.

Run a check on everyone associated with this case.

That's a lot of people, Mike.

I don't care.

I got the mayor and the university president screaming for action, and I

got this clown Griffith running around town, talking to the press.

Here's the information you asked on Jack Ryker. Thanks, Kate.

He's okay. How's Pucky doing?

He's doing all right. Good. Tell him I said hello. Sure.

Take a look.

He's been a bad boy.

Multiple respiration, decent exposure, peeping Tom.

What's with this guy?

Pick him up. I'm going to have a little word with Bill Crane.

Can I offer you a drink, Lieutenant?

No, thank you.

I'm sorry. I don't mean to fall apart like this.

Okay, I'd be the same way if it was my wife.

I just have a few more questions.

I told you everything.

She didn't have an enemy in the world.

Did your wife often drink during the day?

Never.

She would have an occasional wine with dinner, but that's it.

We found a bottle of brandy in her car.

That's ridiculous.

Her blood alcohol level was way above normal.

That's impossible.

I don't believe it.

Was your wife worried about that recently?

Naturally, she was upset with the killings.

That first girl was in her class.

Susan Voss?

Yes. Yes.

She went to the sorority house the day before the murder.

She was even more upset when she came home.

Do you have any suspects?

A few, but nothing solid.

At first we thought it had something to do with sorority, but your wife's murder

just does not fit in.

But she does.

What do you mean?

She was a member of Gamma Phi when she went to college.

But your wife went up to Belleville, up north.

She didn't go to school here.

Yes, but that's a national sorority.

They have many chapters.

Why wasn't I told this before?

You never told anyone.

I found out by accident. I discovered an old sorority pin in the trunk.

But I asked her about it. She wouldn't talk about it. She said it wasn't part

of her life anymore.

Do you think it's important?

Could be.

Thanks for your help.

I'll show myself out.

Keep me posted.

I will.

I love you every day, every minute, every way. I would die for you.

Give up everything I am, fulfilling your demands.

I would die for you.

With one look from your eyes, I would accept my own demise. Yes, I would die.

Every minute, every way, every hour of the day, I would die for

you.

Every moment of the day, if there isn't any way, I won't try

for you.

Friends may say they can dance, but I won't give up what I am, yes, I would

die for you.

Trading my self-respect for that final dance with death. Yes, I would die for

you.

My life you could erase for one touch of your face. I would die

for you.

Yes, I would die.

You're a fucking pervert, Riker. You know that? You killed those girls. Admit

it. Come on. I didn't do anything. You did, Riker. We know you did it. I

didn't. I swear to you, I didn't. I wasn't even there. Tell us the truth.

You had no alibi.

I was home. I was home alone.

You got yourself the perfect little job with those young girls running around.

I don't do that anymore. You're pissing me off, man.

I don't do that stuff anymore.

Come on. I swear to you, I didn't do it. With your psychological profile, man,

I'm sure they're just going to put you back in the institution or something.

Yeah, then I'm going to give you an electric chair. I'm going to speak to

the DA for you. We're trying to help you out, Riker. Come on, talk to me, Riker.

I'm not a killer. Talk to me, Riker. I'm not a killer. Come on. I'm not a killer.

Jesus.

Sam, cut him loose.

Right, Lieutenant. Let's go, Riker.

Come on, man. Take it easy.

You need to relax, man.

You need to calm down.

You need to unwind.

You up for it?

Yeah.

Let's do it.

Come on, Mike. Look alive.

Don't worry about me. Just keep your hands up.

My son was playing football at school.

Gee, Dad, how old is Craig?

Eleven.

He's playing running back for Pop Warner Football.

I was going to ask you if you wanted a coach. I don't know.

I'm not too good with kids.

Come on, Mike.

Your next Navy SEAL, baby.

All that stuff you've been through. You tell me you can't handle a bunch of 10

and 11-year-olds.

I know the SEALs are a bunch of wimps compared to Army Airborne Rangers.

Wimps? Wimps? Oh, you said the wrong thing now.

Never felt better.

You ought to really think about helping me out coaching, man. You know?

I could really use your help, man. I'm going to be the only cop there. I'm

going to have nobody to talk to. You know how that is. Okay.

I'll think about it.

Let me see what I can do.

You know, the case is really starting to get good now.

Yeah, me too.

You know, we never have any...

Problems like this in our town.

Now we got some maniac running around, knocking off women for no apparent

reason.

Yeah, it kind of scares me.

Pisses me off.

I still think Riker's our man.

I don't know.

It just doesn't fit.

He would have sexually assaulted us.

I don't think he's our guy.

You hear anything from Belleville yet?

Nope. Not yet.

What about the girls?

They're not too safe over there right now. Yeah, I've been thinking about

that.

I'm going to suggest that they move into the dorms until we catch this bastard.

I really don't think they're going to be safe anywhere, Mike.

Hello, Lieutenant King.

Hello, Bunny.

Come on in.

Are you here to interrogate me, Lieutenant?

I think I might like that.

I bet you would.

Sorry, Bunny. He's here for me.

Too bad.

Maybe another time?

Maybe not.

Bunny, are you going to row?

No, I'm going to stay in and do my hair and, you know, go thing.

I'll see you guys later.

You girls should not be going out at night.

I know. We just had to get out of here for a while. I know. Being here is so

depressing. Well, be careful and stay together.

Okay. Bye.

Bye.

Enjoying yourself?

There's no harm in looking.

That's what you think.

There aren't any clean towels.

Oh, really? I'll bring you some after I do a wash. Thanks, Mrs. M, but don't

rush. There's a great Mel Gibson movie on, and I just love Mel.

Bye, Lieutenant Kane.

Goodbye, Bunny.

Goodbye, Bunny.

Bye, Kim.

Evening, Lieutenant.

Evening, ma'am. Have you caught that monstrous murderer yet? Not yet, but we

will. I'm sure you will.

Oh, we're going out, but I won't be late.

I'm sure you'll be safe with Lieutenant Kane.

I just worry so about you girls.

Mrs. M., come on. Don't start again.

No. You're right.

I have work to do.

I'm going down to the basement to do the laundry.

Okay. You girls go through so many towels.

So, where are we going to have dinner?

A very special place.

Really?

Dinner was wonderful.

I didn't know you could cook.

Well, I gotta confess, my sister made it.

Well, it was nice of her.

She'd feed the entire female population if she thought it would get me married.

Well, you are getting a little up at the hill.

I'm right.

Everything that I've dreamed of is just a little out of reach.

It's free.

Now I find the kind of love that I could only find in my

dreams.

And you're the first to show it This is the best I know it

The way that love was meant to be You

touch me In places I've never known before You

touch me Deep in my heart Now I'm sure that

I should have no need to This is what I've got. So take my

heart and my soul, my love. Don't you know that I can't let go.

You touch me.

I've never known you.

Touch me.

Deep in my heart. Deep in my heart.

You touch me.

You

touch

me.

ambition, fear, hope, wonder,

believe.

I don't want to go, Michael. But Mrs. M gets so upset if we're not all asleep in

our little beds.

I know. You'd be safe here.

No. I have to be alone in the sorority house by myself.

We don't want to upset her.

No.

Did you enjoy your meal?

Yes, very much. Thanks.

What about my suggestion?

About moving out?

I'll talk to the girls in Mrs. M tomorrow.

Bunny?

Bunny? Are you still in there?

Bunny? I have clean towels.

Bunny?

I'm coming in.

Bunny, you've used all...

This has got to be one of the worst damn nights of my life.

So fucking close.

Don't blame yourself, man. I mean, the guy's like some kind of ghost.

No forced entry, no clues, no nothing.

This stuff's arrived from Belleville PT.

Thanks.

You guys look as bad as I feel.

Well... I just finished the autopsy on Benny Bixby.

Same as the others.

What is it?

Maybe our break.

Are you going to tell me or are we going to play 20 questions?

25 years ago, a guy named Lester Barr stabbed the president of Gamma Phi

Sorority to death with a butcher's knife. Jesus, Holly Crane?

She witnessed it.

Was he apprehended?

He didn't run.

Played guilty by reason of insanity.

Spent 25 years at Elmhurst.

What was his motive?

I don't know. It's an old case. I just got the basics.

Seems he blamed his sister's death on the girl that he killed.

But that's not our killer's M.O.

Do you think there's a psychological connection?

I'm a pathologist, not a shrink.

I talked to the psychiatrist on the case.

I intend to do that.

How could he be our killer if he's locked up in a loony bin?

He was released 18 months ago.

Here is an old mugshot.

Never saw him before.

People change a lot in 25 years.

I'll try to get a new one from Elmer.

How's it going over at the house?

Those girls aren't there alone, I hope.

They're all moving out today.

Bob Griffin is staying with them until they leave.

It's about time he made himself useful.

That's good.

Here's a nice glass of milk to wash down the pie.

Thanks. I'm going to finish this in the kitchen. If you need me, just give me a

call.

Mrs. M, you are supposed to be resting. I know. I'm quite tired.

What time is your nephew coming to pick you up?

He's coming right after work. But it's a three-hour drive from where he lives. He

won't get here until 9 or 10.

I told him I'd take a bus, but the sweet boy wouldn't hear of it. Oh, well, then

I'll wait with you.

You don't have to do that. I'll be all right.

No, no, I insist.

Besides, it'll take me that long to pack.

You dear, sweet girl.

I don't know what I'd do if that monster had gotten you.

Don't even start.

Why don't you go upstairs, get some rest, and take one of those pills that

the doctor gave you?

I will.

Hey, hi. Are you going to be okay? My dad's going to be here soon.

You guys, now it's okay. We're all going to be back together again soon.

I don't think it's safe here again. No, no, it's going to be okay. Bye.

Bye. Bye. Take care. Have a safe day.

When do you expect Dr. Stein back?

Have her call me immediately.

Yes. It's extremely important.

Right.

Thank you.

I got them all.

Reynolds, Riker, Thompson, Crane.

I got them all in separate interrogation rooms.

Let's do it.

Let's get to it.

You heard anything on Lester Barr?

Nothing.

Damn hospital won't give me a thing.

Seems only his psychiatrist can.

She's out of town, had some damn seminar. We'll be back till tonight.

Who's gonna be hot, who's gonna be cold this time?

I'm gonna be hot.

Come on, man. Let me be honest. You were hot last time.

I was hot?

Hey, Ava's finished?

Almost. How about you?

Not even. I can't even find my double bag. It's gotta be in the garage.

Okay, see you before I leave.

Sorry, I didn't mean to. No, no, no.

It's my fault. I'm just completely jumpy today.

Well, I'm leaving and I didn't want to go without saying goodbye. No, no, I'll

walk you to the car.

Yeah,

I'm all right.

I'm almost all packed.

Yeah.

Yes, Bob is still here. He's in the kitchen and he's eating everything.

He says he doesn't want it to go to waste.

Mrs. M's nephew will be here about 9.30, 10 at the latest, so I will see you

then.

Me too.

Bye.

Hey, Mike. Hey, partner.

I'm out of here, man. It's 8 o'clock. You should be out of here, too.

I'm waiting to hear from Bart's psychiatrist.

I'll give it about another hour, then I'm going to go pick up Kim.

Is she going to stay with you?

It's none of your business.

Get out of here before I find some work for you to do.

You want this door shut?

No, leave it open.

Say hi to Patty for me. I will. Hey, take it easy, man. All right, good

night.

Kane here.

Lieutenant Kane, this is Dr. Stein.

Dr. Stein, I've been waiting for your phone call.

I understand you want information on Lester Barr.

Well, I haven't seen him since his release.

Oh, I don't think he's your killer.

No.

Well, he was a trustee here.

He was my patient for the last five years of his stay.

He seemed to pose no threat to society.

When he was released, he went to live with his elderly aunt.

Well, yes, I do have her name and address somewhere in the files here.

Lester showed no signs of any violent behavior. As a matter of fact, he could

be very sweet and very entertaining.

He used to put on shows for the other patients and the staff, and, you know,

he was really very good.

Okay, let me start at the beginning.

It really is a very positive story.

Yeah.

Good. Give me her name and address.

Oh, no.

Finished, dear? Almost.

I just want to get one more book.

How about a nice cup of tea while we wait?

Yeah, I'd like that.

I'll be right back.

How you feeling?

How did you know for sure it was Mrs. M?

Dr. Stein gave me everything I needed to put together.

See, Lester Borre's sister was a member of Gamma Phi at Belleville with Holly

Crane. Holly Crane knew her?

Yeah.

And when their father died, the family came under financial ruin.

There was no money for sorority fees.

They asked his sister to move out.

She was so devastated by this that she went back to the house and killed

herself.

Slashed her wrist with a butcher's knife.

She left a note blaming the sorority.

The last words were, goodbye Gamma Phi.

That's what he said to me.

Yeah, well, Lester found the note.

And the body.

He went absolutely crazy.

He took the very same knife, went back to the sorority house, and stabbed the

president to death.

Holly Crane was a witness.

She didn't seem to recognize him, but she did act strange when she met him.

Well, Barr recognized her, though.

But how did you know that Barr was Mrs. M?

He was found insane at the trial.

No kidding.

During his stay at the institution, he was a model inmate.

He would put on shows, but he would always play the female role.

Dr. Stein told me he was so good, you would have never have known it was a

man.

Wait, and so that's how you knew all this?

No.

Oh, my God. Are you trying to drive me crazy, dude? Tell me.

Well, let me finish.

When Ball was released, he went to stay with his aunt, his mother's sister.

She had since died.

So? Her name was Patricia Manville.

So he took her identity.

When he saw your ad for a house mother in a national sorority newsletter.

Wait, how did he get my newsletter?

He subscribed under his sister's name.

The bar never forgot.

And he never forgave.

God, this is all so unbelievable.

So how's Bob Griffin doing?

You'll be fine.

Mrs. M went far putting up drugs in tin to knock him out for a week. Well, it

serves him right for Mr. Pick.

It nearly cost you your life.

Michael, I'd be dead if it wasn't for you.

I'll always be there.

I thought you might like some pie.

I'm your new neighbor, Mary Marinovich. But everybody calls me Mrs. M.

I love you every day, every minute, every way. I would die for

you.

Give up everything I am, fulfilling your demands, I would die for

you.

With one look from your eyes, I would accept my own demise, yes, I would die

for you.

Every minute, every way, every hour of the day, I would die

for you.

Every moment of the day, if there isn't any way, I won't try for

you.

Friends may say that you would die, but I wouldn't give up what I am, yes, I

would die for you.

Trading my self-respect for that final dance with death, yes, I would die for

you.

I would die for you.

Yes, I would die.

Every day, every hour, every way, I would die for you.

Give up all the things I am. You come when you command.

I would die for you.

Give up all that I can be for all eternity.

Yes, I would die for you.

And when the...

Every day, every hour, every way, I would die for you.

Yes, I would die.

Out of my head To go on without you Just

wouldn't be right Cause I know that my heart would be dead

With one look from your eyes, I would accept my own demise. Yes, I would die

for you.

Every minute, every day, every hour of the way, I would die

for you.

Yeah, I would die.
