♪♪

Mr. Kemp?

Mr. Kemp.

I'm Charlie Moore.

They tell us
you can talk now

and your condition
is stable.

You're doing alright.

Can I have that in writing?

See what I can do.
If you're up to it,

I'd like to ask you
a few questions.

Okay.
Do you remember

anything
about what happened?

I remember leaving my office
that Friday afternoon.

I was driving out to the country
to have dinner with a client.

After that, I'm a total blank
until I woke up in ICU.

So, you're
missing a whole week.

Yeah, if you come across it,
I'd like to have it back again.

Will do.
Who's Franklin Porter?

That's one of my partners.

Emmanuel Hastings?

That's a client.

We're doing
a big project downtown,

the new Woolrich
Performing Arts Center,

and I'm the architect.
At least, I was.

They tell you
the first person on the scene

was a guy who was
a medic in Vietnam?

Yeah, I was lying there
on the pavement.

My neck was broken,
I wasn't breathing,

and this guy came along
and he literally

took a Swiss Army knife
and dug a hole in my throat

and stuck a straw in it
and saved my life.

Lucky he happened by.

Sometimes
I wish he'd been

running five minutes
late that night.

Was it my fault?

We're not sure yet.

It's been three weeks.

It's been four.
You're missing one, remember?

We have no witnesses
to the actual crash.

The other driver's blood alcohol
level was slightly elevated,

and judging from impact,

you were both
doing the obligatory

ten miles an hour
over the speed limit.

What does the other
driver have to say?

They didn't tell you?

She died at the scene.

[beeping]

Okay, Jason, okay, we're
gonna get you hooked up

and breathing again.
We're going to find it.

We're gonna find it, okay?
You just hang on, okay?

Trach's okay. We're
gonna find it.

We're gonna find it.

Where the hell is it?

Oh, okay, just stay
calm, okay? Stay calm.

I've got a pop-off in 111.
I need assistance stat.

I need assistance
in 111 stat.

I need assistance, please.

You just hang on, okay.
You hang on.

Just stay with me.
Stay with me.

I got it.
Sorry.

I couldn't find it.

I couldn't find it.

I'm sorry.
[sighs]

Here it is.

[beeping]

Okay.

Oh, God

I'm sorry.

[grunting]

Sorry.

I'm okay.

We 've got to increase

You've got to
give me another 20.

Oh, man, I can't.

We'll work through it.
We'll work through it.

My right side is not
firing today. I'm done.

[Antonio]
Man, you've got to get

See?

[Dad]
Good catch, son.

One more.
There you go.

Hey, Leila.

I was beginning to think
you stood me up,

so to speak.
Very funny.

Yeah, I'm working on an act.
Gonna take it on the road.

I stopped by the loft.
Yeah?

Coming along.

Contractor's just doing
some last minute touchups.

This renovation's
taking forever,

but I'll tell you something.

I've got to
get out of here, Leila.

I really am going crazy.

One more day.
Everything's
still on track

for you to go home
tomorrow.
Good.

That ours?
Yep.

I wanted to show you
what a good host I am.

And wait 'til you see it.
It's magnificent.

I admit, I had
no idea how expensive

this was all gonna be.

The lift alone, my God.

Well, I've got to
get up and down
between three floors.

You know, I still think you
could have consolidated it
all on one floor.

I've got
all my gym equipment,

I've got nurses, and me.
We can't live on one floor.

You sure you need all that
high tech exercise stuff?

That stuff is gonna
get my body ready

so that when the scientists
have found a cure,

I'll be able to get up
and walk, okay?

I know, I know.
It's just...

Just what?
I just hope

whoever sold you all that
expensive equipment

isn't taking
advantage of you.

What are you talking about?

Your vulnerability.
Your frame of mind.

What?

This wish for
a full recovery.

This wish is
a reasonable expectation

based on the latest
scientific research, okay?

Fine. I believe you.

I do.

Oh, boy. Now I get it,
now I get it.

You went by the loft, you saw
how expensive everything was,

and now you're worried
about my finances.

I'm concerned, yes.

About your alimony.

Jason, it's not that.

I see all this money
flying out the window.

Do you have any idea
how expensive it is

to be disabled
in this country?

The sooner
I get back to work,

the better it's gonna be
for both of us, okay?

Forget I said
anything about it.

Look, whatever happens,

I will not shirk
my obligations to you.

I know that.

I really do appreciate
everything you've done

while I've been here.

Most ex-wives wouldn't
even show up in rehab.

Look, I've got to go.
I'm running late.

Okay.

I'll see you soon.

Have a good trip home, okay?

Yep.

Enjoying those blueberries?

Aw, thanks for
bringing them in, man.

No problem. I hear you had
another pop-off last night.

Yeah, I'm getting
used to them.

Not like the first time, eh?

I don't know who was more
scared, you or that nurse.

Thanks, Mary, that's plenty.

What are we waiting for?
Let's go home.

Tell you what. You get
that van around here

in ten minutes or I'm
gonna leave without you.

[laughs]
You'll find me

booking down
the Jersey Turnpike.

I'll get you a racing stripe
and some chrome mag wheels

for that jalopy.That a deal, brother.

Got to go see
the doctor first.

Ah, no we don't.

Yep. Let's go.

All right. If we
have to, have to.

You 've been absolutely
terrific, Dr. Schneider,

and I hope I never see you
again the rest of my life.

I've never had a patient
quite like you, Jason.

Quite so driven. Your work
ethic, your determination.

Formidable.
You really impress me.

Listen, now,
when you go home,

don't overdo it.
You need time to rest.

I can't afford to rest.

When they come up with a cure,
I've got to be ready.

Like I said, driven.
Who's taking you home?

Antonio.Oh, yeah, that's right.

I can't believe you
hired him away from us.

Well, if you paid
these guys a decent wage...

Ah, the man of the hour.

Okay, see you
in six months.

[Antonio]
Ready to roll?

[Jason]
Hey, Antonio,
slow down, will you?

[Antonio]
I'm way under
the speed limit, man.

Okay? Just relax, now.

After six months of
going three miles an hour,

this feels like warp speed.

Man, I go any slower,
somebody'll rear end us.

Now you just calm down,
okay? Just relax.

We get there safe and sound.

See? I told you, man.

You get to live
to die another day.

[laughs]

That's good,
'cause I've got a meeting

with my partners upstairs.

I'll meet you up there.All right.

You're a lucky man,
you know that?

How do you figure that?

You cheated death how many
times so far? Three, four?

Well, five,
counting that ride.

Must be a reason you
been to death's door

and back so many times.

Ah, it was an accident.

Somebody got careless and
crossed the yellow line.

How lucky is that?I'm telling you, man.

Got to be a reason
you survived.

Well, you figure it out,
let me know.

[elevator bell dings]Hey, guys.

Jason.

Porter. Mase.
How are you?

You look great.Ah, I look like hell.

Remarkably fit,
considering.

We've been looking around.

The place turned out
beautifully.

Man.
Yeah, you're right.

Oh, it looks great.

Which one of you
took my pool table?

[laughs]

[laughter]

Okay, Antonio.
Let's look around.

Go see what happened
to my retirement money.

You know, Jason, you don't
have to worry about money.

The firm's doing fine.

Without me?
That's very reassuring.

You know,
you were right.

They were able to rewire
the monitors to give you

voice access to the computer
from every floor.

Per your specifications, the
lift is triggered automatically

by sensors in your wheelchair,
as are the lights.

Also per your specs,
you can turn them off

with your sipping straw.

A code overrides the sensors.

You can lock the doors
to the lift that way, too.

We don't recommend that,
for obvious reasons.

If you were me, you'd be dying
to lock a door sometimes.

[elevator bell dings]

Oh, this is very nice.
Nice job.

Wow. Let's go take
a look at the view.

Same old bricks.

I guess I'm gonna have to
get used to this view.

Hey, it looks like those guys
over there redecorated.

Not too bad.

[hammering,

What's going on up there?

[Porter]
Major renovation.

Putting together
10,000 square feet

[Mason]
Spending some real dough.

Whoa. Who's the architect?

Hollingsworth.

Bud Hollingsworth?

He couldn't design
the stalls in a men's room.

[laughter]

You know, I always
wondered what went on

over there during the day.

Nothing much.

But anyway,
time to get back to work

on the Woolrich Project.

Starting tomorrow, I'll be
on it again full time.

Jason, the site's
already been excavated.

They're pouring the
foundation as we speak.

They begin framing
next week.

Now wait a minute here,
how did that happen?

We had to reassign it.

We made an agreement
in the hospital.

What can I tell you?
The client...

...insisted. Wasn't
confident you'd return to work

with all of your
former resources intact.

So who'd you give it to?

[Mason]
Claudia Henderson.
She's the new girl.

Actually, she is
very talented.

Well, that's good, because
then you won't have any problem

giving her
something else to do,

'cause I'm back
with my resources intact,

and the Woolrich Center
is mine.

Antonio.

I don't believe you two.

We can give Woolrich
back to you, if...

Yeah, you sure can.
You don 't have a choice.

But we're not gonna
take it away from Claudia.

She's been working her
ass off for six months,

and I got to tell you,
the client is very happy

with the work
she's been doing.

Ah, you guys didn't waste
much time, did you?

Did you give the job away while
I was on the operating table

'cause you didn't think
I'd survive the surgery?

Is that it?
Look, Jason,

we didn't know
what would happen.

You're gonna have to
learn to work with her.

I'm sorry.

Look on the bright side.
Somebody's got to do

all those boring lunches
with the client.

Oh, the bright side.

Interesting way to describe
stabbing me in the back.

Come on, we've got to
beat him downstairs.

Same old, Jason.

Only more so.

Gotcha.

All right. It's
a little overwhelming,

Listen,
I came to tell you,

now, we went
outside the department,

did some computer modeling,

and reenacted the accident.

And?
It's her fault.

She swerved
over the center line.

No doubt about it.
So, for whatever it's worth,

you're not to blame.

Thank you. This thing's really
been weighing on my mind.

Yeah, well, that's why
I came to tell you

and pay my respects, so...

Well, next time
there's a homicide

in the neighborhood,
feel free to drop by.

I'll do that. See you.

[Dr. Schneider]
I want you to get
some rest, big shot.

We'll see you.
Okay.

Excuse me.

Jason.
Hey.

Sorry about yesterday.

I shouldn't 've burdened you
with my money anxieties.

Seeing this place
put me in a panic.

It's okay.

Jason, there's something
I've been trying to tell you.

I've been seeing someone,
and it's serious.

Wow.

Congratulations.

Look on the bright side.
If works out, no more alimony.

I'll light a candle.

I know you'll make
something good out of all this.

You always do.

Goodbye.

Thorpe, Ilene and Julian.

He's a hot-shot sculptor

and she's a retired
New York gypsy.

Fortune teller?

No, not that kind.

A Broadway gypsy.
A chorus girl.

Oh.

Now, Charlie Moore says
they're gonna prosecute him

for battery, even if
she doesn't cooperate

'cause it's an election
year, and the mayor

wants to crack down
on domestic violence,

so he made bail last night,
he came home, and then,

they had another
knock-down drag-out fight.

You're kidding?And then, after that,

at 3:00 in the morning,
he starts banging

and welding away
in his studio,

and I just...
I could not sleep at all.

I can't believe it.

The night he
gets home from jail,

he let's her have it again.

So where is she now?

I don't know. I haven't
seen her this morning.

I'm worried about her.

I can't believe you
saw them go at it again.

she's a major alcoholic.

But this morning,
this is the first time

seen her at all.

You think she'll
testify against him?

Well, she just found out

he's having an affair
with somebody else.

How do you know that?

I saw it happen.

Well, you are a Nosey Parker.

She really gave him hell.

He's leaving her
for another woman,

and when
she finds that out,

she's gonna testify
against him, believe me.

All right.

Enough speculation.
We got a lot of work to do.

Come on, we've still got

Hey, Alison. Jason.[Alison]
Hi, Claudia.

Do you need anything?

No, I'm fine. Thanks.

Hi.

[Claudia]
Hi.

What's all that?

Oh, I was
in the neighborhood.

I picked up a few things.

Some tomatoes, garlic,
olive oil, fresh pasta.

That is so nice of you
to come cook me dinner.

Oh, no, no, no, no.
I don't cook.

I shop. I can't cook.

I thought
that maybe Alison...

No, Alison doesn't
cook at all, believe me.

What are we gonna do?

Uh, well, can you boil water?

I can try.

Okay, grab a big pot
down there.

Pot, okay.
Pot. All right.

Um, big. It's a technical
term that means big.

Smart aleck. Big, big pot.

That's better. Okay.
Now you need a big knife.

Big enough for you?

[laughs]
Yeah, that's fine.

And what you do is
you take the tomatoes.

Then you're gonna wash them
and then you dice them.

Define dice.

Oh, no, we're gonna starve.

[laughs]

I can't tell you what a relief
this is from Chinese take-away.

I know. I have this giant
bowl in my refrigerator

filled with soy sauce,
duck sauce, mustard sauce.

Literally five years
worth of take-out packets.

Thousands of
those little squirts.

[both laugh]

Mmm.

Are you sure that you
don't mind doing this?

Not at all.

Oh, that's the part I hate.

What, the napkin?

Makes me feel like
a big baby with a bib on.

[laughs]

I think it's kind of
attractive.

It's like a tuxedo look
without the tux.

[laughs]

Would you go to the window
and look over there

and see if
she's come back yet?

Yeah, sure.

Mmm.
You want that?

Yeah. Thanks.

Looks like her stuff
is still there.

Oh, she didn't leave him.

How can you be so sure?Well, her jewelry box

and her perfume
are still on the dresser.

She might leave her husband,

but she's not gonna
leave her jewelry.

Well, that's my point.

Something must have
happened to her.

Jason, she probably
spent the day at a bar

or at her sister's
or her mother's,

trying to get up
the courage to come home.

But she's gonna come home.
She'll be remorseful.

They'll be all lovey-dovey
for a few days,

and then they'll
go at it again.

Relationships like that
are far too complicated

to understand
from the outside.

Next time, do us all a favor
and don't call 911.

I'm not sure there's
gonna be a next time.

I think he killed her
last night.

[Charlie]
Run that by me again.

[Jason]
So he makes bail, he comes
home, and he tells her

he's gonna leave her
for another woman.

She threatens to
testify against him

and ruin his life.

Then they have
a drag out fight,

and this time,
he kills her.

So what do you think?

Aside from no body,
no witnesses,

no evidence whatsoever
that a crime was committed,

as crackpot theories go,
very plausible.

Are you cynical, Charlie,
or just apathetic?

Did you see this murder?I heard it.

You heard them fighting,
which married couples do

from time to time.I heard her scream

and then I heard him banging

and sawing away all night
in his studio.

A residential zoning violation,
and not very neighborly,

but hardly a capital crime.

He was covering up a murder.

Look, I hate to be cynical,
but you're lying in bed,

you can't sleep,
you're looking at the ceiling,

you start to imagine things.

I didn't imagine this.

Alison,
did you hear a scream?

Uh, well, I was downstairs.

Alison, you telling me you
didn't hear Mrs. Thorpe scream?

No, I didn't.
I'm sorry.

I might have been
in the laundry room.

I have a monitor in there
so I can hear Jason,

but I can't really hear
anything from outside.

All right. No corroboration
on the bloodcurdling scream...

...yet.
I'll canvas the neighbors.

Thanks.

Too bad that wasn't
going last night.

We could have gone
to the videotape.

You mind my asking, what kind
of medication are you on?

Oh, you name it.Alison, help me out here.

He on anything
which would affect

his judgment or perception?

Sleeping pills and valium.

I rest my case.

See, I think it's possible
that you just hallucinated

the whole scenario.Aren't you at least

gonna go over
and talk to them?

I mean, don't you admit
this is suspicious?

It's far-fetched,
but if she doesn't come home

by noon tomorrow,
I'll go talk to Thorpe.

I'll tell him that we're
trying to reach his wife

to drop the charges,
give him an incentive

to call her and
get in touch with us.

And what if he says he
doesn't know where she is?

I'll keep my eyes peeled.
If I see any big,

sticky patches of blood
on the rug,

I'll clap the cuffs on.Very funny.

In the meantime, I'd take up a
different hobby, if I were you.

You, too, young lady.

Who, me?

Yeah, you.
You can't fool me.

You got a jones for this,
too. I can tell.

She's not missing, she's gone.
She left. Vaya con dios.

How do you know?
I asked him.

And you just believed him?

It was just what I figured.
He had a deadline.

He kept pounding away
all night, kept her up.

She was still
pissed off at him

for the roughing up
he gave her.

They had words.
They had
a lot more than that.

Anyway, 6:00 in the morning,
she'd had enough.

She put some things in a bag.

She said she was gonna visit
her sister in Rhode Island

for a few days of peace
and quiet, and she split.

We don't know that.

Last night, after our
cockamamie conversation,

I inquired.

Mrs. Thorpe left her
domicile yesterday morning,

bright and early,
just like he said.

What witnesses?The super, for one.

The car service
driver for another.

Driver took her to
the train station.

They both mentioned she had

a little overnight bag
with her.

What about her jewelry
and her perfume?

What about 'em?They're still on her dresser.

You too? I knew it.

You know, I take
a pretty dim view

of this electronic
snooping.

Why don't you take
a look for yourself?

I don't have to see
for myself.

Her jewelry and perfume
are on her bureau

means she didn't
leave town? Pretty thin.

She was in a hurry.
She left it.

No big deal.

Are you absolutely
sure it was her?

I called. Rhode Island.
I spoke to her.

She's there.

All right, what about
the scream?

I canvassed that building,
this building,

the next building,
the surrounding suburbs.

Nobody else heard it.

That's impossible.

Not if you dreamed it.

Woolrich commissioned
the piece from Thorpe.

It's been sitting
in our lobby all this time.

How could we
not have known that?

Remember that meeting you
didn't go to, on lobby art.

Mm-hmm.
Woolrich told me
that he commissioned

a bunch of sculptures from
prominent local artists,

that you'd
approved the sketches,

and it was a done deal.

They never told me
the names of the artists,

I never asked.

I never approved
any sketches.

It was the day
of your accident.

Oh, that's why
I don't remember.

[Charlie]
Morning.

[Jason]
Hi, Charlie.

I just heard from the lab.

What were the results
of the X-rays?

Negative.

[Claudia]
Are you sure?

She ain't in there.

We're back to
square one,

attempted murder
and check kiting.

We struck out, kids.
See you in court.

I'm sorry, Jason.

I'm gonna take one last look
at the scene of the crime.

Sure, knock yourself out.

Dead here during the day.

Oh, I keep telling you,
nighttime's the right time.

Has the late show
started yet?

What?

The X-rated version?

What do you mean?

I think you know
very well what I mean.

Are you sure
you want to do this?

Yes.
As a matter fact I am.

You're incredible.

It always won't
be like this.

You know, um...

Right now, I can't,
you know,

but I'm gonna be on my feet
again in a few years.

I believe that.
Doesn't matter.

In the meantime...

In the meantime,

we're just gonna
have to be creative.
