All language subtitles for Body Of Influence.1993.Dvd.Xvid-CG

I know you're going to think that I'm exaggerating,
but I swear to you, if a man is a good

kisser, he can bring me to the brink of an
orgasm without even touching me anywhere else.

Someone was following me.

I couldn't see him, but I heard
his soft footsteps on the pavement.

I knew there was an all-night diner
nearby, and I sought refuge there.

He came in after me.

He was a total stranger, but
he approached me and said,

I'm dying to do certain things to you.

We were in bed, and we'd
just finished making love.

I asked him why all we do is
sleep and make love, nothing else.

His response was, what else is there?

I told him that for once, I'd like to
have a serious conversation about us.

I should have been horrified,
but strangely, I wasn't.

I tell him I'm not afraid of him,
and he better do exactly as I say.

He agrees.

I start by telling him to
kiss me ever so gently.

To lick me there.

In practically no time, orgasms start
running through me like little earthquakes.

Until I'm wet and exhausted.

Sleeping and screwing. That's all we do.

Finally, Brian says to listen.

So I start talking about
us, about our relationship.

And I ask him if we're together
because we love each other.

What his response was.

Is this conversation a conspiracy
on your part to make me impotent?

You know why I think
David doesn't like to kiss?

Because he's afraid.

I remember once that he told me that he
always feels this fear before we make love.

It's almost like to David I'm
this dark void that he can't

enter into without a part of him
being permanently changed or...

sexed.

Sex is a very dark power.

You know I came out here to be an actress.

Christ knows I've still got the looks.

You probably think these boobs
are fake living in Beverly Hills and all.

Well they're not.

Wanna see?

All the women in my family have them.

But personally, I think my
legs are my best feature.

Don't you, Doctor?

Someone wants to find a
psychiatrist as a guy who

goes to a strip show
and looks at the audience.

You're silky smooth, too.

For the first 35 years of my life, that
described me, Dr. Jonathan Brooks.

I haven't waxed every month.

Here.

Feel.

My practice was located in Beverly Hills.

Not bad, huh?

Yes, they're very smooth.

And lately, my clientele
seemed to consist exclusively

of the frustrated wives
of high-powered men.

Don't you think we've done enough
acting out for one day, Margaret?

In medical school, they
teach you to detach.

I know you want me, Dr. Brooks.

You wouldn't have let me get this far.

I just want you to act it all out.

It's part of the healing process.

And I have always known
the value of that lesson.

Get rid of those thoughts.

I know you want to kiss me.

But you're holding back.

I'll never understand how
you keep your cool, Dr. Brooks.

That's why I record these sessions.

To have a record of what transpired.

See, when a woman
like Margaret is rebuffed,

they often accuse a
doctor of sexual misconduct.

No one would ever accuse you of that.

You're the most civilized man I know.

Thank you, Helen.

Good night.

Don't work too late.

I won't.

That attitude, of course,
isn't without its benefits.

In my case, a
thriving practice and a

beautiful and successful
lawyer is my fiancée.

Well, that's what I want.

Low-risk security.

Leave the gambling to the
Donald Trumps of the world.

Okay.

I will.

You too.

Your appointment's here.

Oh, who is it?

It's a new patient.

Um...

Laura Nesbitt.

Thank you, Helen.

You're welcome.

The first time I saw her,
she was sitting in my chair.

You know there was a
running joke in medical school

that anyone that wanted
to be a psychiatrist

thought he'd have his head examined.

Excuse me?

Nothing.

It's just that you're sitting in my chair.

I'm sorry.

I didn't realize.

It's quite all right.

I just think you'd be more
comfortable on the couch.

I videotape these sessions. I
find it a very useful therapeutic tool.

So...

Now, what would you like to talk about?

Forgive me, this is very difficult.

I understand.

I don't know what the
trouble is, Dr. Brooks.

I mean, I go to sleep and then...

And then?

And then the horrors begin.

Now, when you say horrors,
do you mean nightmares?

I don't know what they are.

Well, what do you remember about them?

I remember...

Waking up.

Only I'm not in my bed.

Where are you?

In a hotel.

The kind I would never go to.

What do you mean, the
kind you'd never go to?

The kind...

For adults.

I see.

And there's something else.

When I wake up, I'm not me.

I'm wearing someone else's clothes.

Whose clothes?

No, you don't understand. It's
not that they're not my clothes.

They're clothes I would never wear.

They make me look like...

Like what?

Like a whore.

You see...

In my dreams...

I'm no stranger to love.

That's how I earn my living.

Fulfilling the desires of men.

Men of all varieties.

Only I don't charge him.

Why don't you charge him?

It would be wrong.

He's giving me as much
pleasure as I'm giving him.

He knows all my secret places.

He knows what I need.

He's slowly driving me mad.

I'm no longer kissing or caressing.

Only clinging.

I want him to come inside me, but he won't.

So I start to think.

I'm not in my bed.

I'm not in my bed.

I'm not in my bed.

I'm not in my bed.

I'm not in my bed.

I'm not in my bed.

So I surrender my body to him.

I surrender my head to him.

I let his rhythm become mine.

I let his rhythm become mine.

Become mine.

You think I'm a terrible person, don't you?

Of course not.

You don't?

No.

In my dreams, I'm no stranger to love.

That's how I make my living,
fulfilling the desires of men.

Come to me, I say to him.

But I don't charge him.

Why don't you charge him?

It would be wrong.

He's giving me as much
pleasure as I'm giving him.

Knows my secret places.

He knows exactly what I need.

Who's the looker?

Jesus, Harry, would you put that down?

He's so literally.

No choice.

To serve and protect, that's our motto.

I was no longer kissing or caressing.

I just serve you notice that
you need better protection.

Who is she?

I wanted him to come
inside me, but he wouldn't.

A new patient.

So I surrendered my body to him.

Oh, yeah, quite a work of art.

Isn't she?

She's got so much
sexual repression going on,

she actually believes
her nightmares are real.

I got a flash for you, Doc.

She ain't the only one sexually repressed.

Quite.

Quite a work of art, like
on the Hubba Hubba scale.

Sometimes, Police Detective Sigmund Freud,

a cigar is just a cigar.

My interest is strictly clinical.

Yeah, I guess this is the point
where I'm supposed to say,

since when do you
carry cigars in your pants?

Ba-dum-bum.

Can I get you a drink?

Yeah, you know where it is.

Ah, guess you heard
about victim number five.

Yeah.

Is that connected to the other murders?

Oh, yeah.

I'm a maniac.

Nobody doubt it.

Beautiful girl found spread
legs, sexually opposed.

Evidence of sexual violation.

Any clue as to who might have done it?

No.

Your guess is as good as mine.

Come on, Jonathan.

Since you're being paid
as forensic consultant,

I was hoping you had a better guess.

I don't.

I can give you a profile, though.

Most serial killers are white
males from the lower classes,

using their notoriety to try to
gain entrance to the upper class.

Ultimately, what they want,
though, is sexual gratification.

Put quite simply, Harry,
they're star fuckers.

Yeah, well, that's about
as much help as telling me

as kids they all went to bed,
tortured small animals, and lit fires.

I know.

But that's all we got to go on.

I think we got our work cut
out for us in this one, my friend.

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

Hello, Laura.

Something wrong?

No.

Yes.

I had another episode.

I see.

Why don't you tell me about it?

And this time I'll help you remember.

No, please.

No hypnosis.

This is nothing to be afraid of.

We simply want to relax
your defenses a little

so we can open up a
pathway to the subconscious.

Now if you remove your
eyeglasses, we can begin.

Please, Dr. Brooks, I'd rather not.

Laura, therapy only
works if you want it to work.

You do want it to work, don't you?

Yes.

Then please.

It's quite a shiner. How'd you get it?

It's nothing.

I bumped into a cupboard door, that's all.

Sometimes I'm a little bit clumsy.

I see.

Well, why don't you put your feet
up and make yourself comfortable?

I want you to focus on this light
and think of someplace calming.

Where are you, Laura?

At the sea.

Good.

Now listen to the voice of the sea.

It's seductive, never ceasing.

And feel the sea.

Its touch is sensuous.

It's enveloping you in
a soft, warm embrace.

Close your eyes, Laura.

My voice is inside your head.

My words are your thoughts.

Now try to think back when
you climbed into bed last night.

Do you remember what you were wearing?

My flannel pajamas.

They're so comfortable.

They make you feel protected.

Secure.

Yes.

I'm in control.

Nothing can hurt me.

No one can hurt me.

Try to remember what you
were wearing when you woke up.

Nothing.

I'm naked on the bed.

I'm cold.

I will reach for the
covers, but I can't move.

Why can't you move?

I don't know.

My hands won't...

My hands are tied to the bed.

Not yet.

Please, if you let me go
I'll do anything you want.

You'll do that anyway.

You bastard.

When I get out of this, I'll kill you.

You'll never hurt a woman again.

I scream obscenities at him, and I cry.

He enters me.

I scream in pain.

I'm very loud.

He's very angry.

What does he do, Laura?

He hits me.

Where?

In the eye.

Laura, that... Laura!

Laura!

So my original diagnosis was wrong.

Her nightmares were real.

Unfortunately, I wouldn't have
a chance to explore further.

As quickly as Laura Nesbitt came
into my life, she departed from it.

Laura, this is a big mistake.

We barely scratched the
surface. You need more therapy.

Everything is okay.

I'm fine, really.

I'll call you if I have a relapse.

Laura. Laura?

Laura?

Helen, could you get Miss
Nesbitt again for me, please?

Certainly.

The number's disconnected.
Do you have a card on her?

Oh, yes.

There's no address.

Oh. She refused to give that to us.

How do we bill her?

Well, she pays in cash every visit.

Oh, Dr. Brooks, I didn't think that would
be a problem as long as she paid cash.

That's all right, Helen.
You've done nothing wrong.

That's how I make my living.

Fulfilling the desires of
men, men of all varieties.

Come to me, I say to him.

Only I don't charge him.

Why don't you charge him?

It would be wrong.

He's giving me as much
pleasure as I'm giving him.

Jonathan?

You know...

Hi, honey.

Hi.

Why?

Aren't you dressed?

You forgot, didn't you?

No, no, I didn't forget.

Yes, you did.

We're going tonight with my
mother to meet the wedding director.

Oh, Jonathan.

That's not like you.

You're usually so reliable.

I know. It's just the
serial killer's got me nuts.

What did I tell you?

Never become personally involved.

That's why I'm such a good lawyer.

Whether my...

My client is a scoundrel or a saint, I
give them the same representation.

Now, come on.

Let's get a move on.

Honey, do you think you
could do this solo tonight?

I'm really not up for it.

Jonathan?

Well, I don't have time for you
to shower and dress anyway.

But you have
officially forfeited your

right to complain about
any of my decisions.

I'm sure they're in good hands.

I'm sure they're in good hands.

Kissing or caressing.

I'm only clinging.

I want him to come in.

Laura? Laura, Jesus! Laura.

What happened? You fainted.

And you caught me? Yes.

Where are you taking me? To lie down.

To your bed? Yes.

No, no, I can't go there.
No, please, I can't go there.

You're like all the others. You
only want one thing, please.

Please, oh God, let me go! Oh God! Oh God!

Okay, calm down. Let me go.

Laura, calm down. Let me go.

Laura, relax! No, please let me go.

In the bedroom! In the bedroom, hurry up!

I forgot to ask you. Oh God, give me out.

What the hell is going on?

Please, oh God, let me go.

She's a patient of mine.
Could you go into the

medicine cabinet and
get my thorax, please?

Oh God, let me go. Please?

I can't. I can't. I can't.
I gotta go. I gotta go.

Listen. Listen to me.

You just want what's
between my legs!

That's why you've been
fucking with my mind!

Let me go, oh God. Let me go, please.

Oh God, let me go. Let
me go. Here, here we go.

Okay, all right, hold
it down. Hold it down.

Let me out! Let me out! Let me go!

No, no! Oh God! Oh God! Oh God!

Let me go. Oh God, let me
out. Let me out. Let me out.

Let me out.

Let me sleep.

I don't like this one bit.

Honey, I did not do this.

She just showed up at our door.

How did she get your address?

I don't know.

Oh, Jonathan.

Do you know why we're
so perfect for each other?

Because both of us are
completely in control of our lives.

No messes.

No surprises.

That's why I fell for you.

Do you understand?

So can you see why something
like this upsets me so much?

Close your eyes, Laura.

Now, I want you to
think back to last night.

Go back in time.

Try to remember waking up.

Open your eyes, Laura.

Well, hello.

What is this place?

What do you think it is, Laura?

Well, since you just answered a
question with one of your own...

I'd say it's a psychiatrist's office.

Is that what you are?

Yes. Yes, I am Dr. Jonathan Brooks.

I hear an intelligent man's orgasm is
much more complex than the average man's.

And the name is Lana, not Laura.

Hypnosis?

Yes.

You want to tell me about last night?

I bet you've buffed a lot of
patients with this little gizmo.

I have not. That would be unethical.

Unethical?

Maybe.

But very manly.

What did I do last night?

I can tell you one thing.

I definitely wasn't wearing this.

What were you wearing?

Naughty, naughty doctor.

Remember, you're not a man.

You're a psychiatrist.

I was asking as a psychiatrist.

Oh, I see.

Then in the interest of
science, I guess I'll answer you.

No.

I'll show you.

Last night, I just stayed at home.

Oh, there was that little
incident, but it was nothing.

Why don't you tell me about it?

I was in my bathroom.

I'd just run the water for a bath.

I was getting undressed.

I was just doing my laundry.

When I saw a reflection in the mirror.

It was the man next door.

He was watching me.

What did you do?

I took off my clothes.

Slowly.

First my top.

Then my skirt.

But I didn't get into the water just yet.

I posed for him.

I began moving from one side
of the bathroom to the other.

Very slowly.

Very deliberately.

Very nakedly.

And then?

Then?

Then I lowered myself into the tub.

I made sure he could still see me.

I began soaping myself.

First my arms, then my neck, breasts.

Then I slide myself under the faucet.

I spread my legs under it.

And I turn the water on.

I understand your pain.

All those women who aroused your desires.

And then said no.

But I won't say no, Jonathan.

Whatever you ask.

Yes.

Yes.

A thousand times.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

But not yet.

You're not ready for me yet.

Try it on one of your other patients first.

I'll send you someone.

Laura's problem was now clear.

Her sexual instincts were
so severely repressed,

they had taken on an
identity of their own.

The bad girl Lana.

I couldn't get Laura's
words out of my mind.

I'll send you someone.

But then all of a sudden
there's someone and I think,

Oh, I'd love to touch that.

I wonder what he's like naked.

But then I remember I'm married and I think
I'll never experience another man's body.

And I cry.

The problem was
many patients transfer

their lusts and desires
to their therapists.

Oh, and I know the one she'd send.

I guess I'm just bored.

Have you considered having an affair?

I wish it were that easy.

I'm a married woman.

I won't even consider making a
move unless I first give a signal.

A signal?

That I'm open for approach.

You know,

I might cross my legs repeatedly.

Or dangle a shoe from my toe.

Or repeat his name during conversation.

Well, why don't you go?

Why don't you give those signals?

Who wants to give signals?

The whole idea is to
have someone pursue me.

I want to be swept off my feet.

Now at least I know what to look for.

I dreamt that I met someone, Jonathan.

A stranger.

A stranger that would make
improper advances towards me.

But I wouldn't repel him.

He would see through my blouse.

He would admire my
breasts in all their fullness.

He will be sexual in a way with me
that I've never experienced, Jonathan.

He'll take care of me, both body and soul.

He'll know me better than I know myself.

It was then that I knew that I
desperately needed to see a psychiatrist.

And after I saw him, I knew
the psychiatrist desperately

had to see me.

Well, could be nothing.

Card found in the
victim's house, apartment.

Guys on advice are familiar with the place.

It's a specialty house, you know.

Perversions are us.

Think this guy sends out for his S&M.

Problem is, the girls don't
know that he plays for keeps.

You think the victims are prostitutes?

Well, they keep broadcasting
the fact that they're actresses.

Gorgeous enough to be soap opera stars.

But they can't all be.

So what's the deal, Harry?
Why'd you bring me along?

Well, I thought we'd try a new twist on
the old good cop, bad cop theme, you know.

Bad cop, good trick.

I'll bruise him, and you say there, there.

He asked me to tell him something dirty.

So I said, okay, the kitchen, the
bathroom, the garage are absolutely filthy.

What an asshole.

Probably can't get it up.

How can I help you, gentlemen?

Have you got any submissives?

Well, whatever is your secret
fantasy, our name and motto.

It's very catchy.

Thanks.

I'd like to talk to them.

Whatever gets you off.

Ma'am, this is not a pleasure call.

Where's the search warrant?

Sure as hell didn't take you
long to get that out, did it?

You get the feeling that
she's been through this before?

Enough times to know that
you need a search warrant.

Wrong.

We're not here searching,
we're here talking.

There's no such thing
as a conversation warrant.

Well, I can't imagine
what we're doing here.

We're here to talk
about what we talk about.

My girls are models, not prostitutes.

Ma'am, I don't give a
damn if you're selling

tickets to watch these girls
screw barnyard animals.

We're not vice.

So you say, but I have cops
coming in here all the time

threatening to bust us if we
don't give them a free sample.

How do I know it's not your story?

All right, I'll tell you what,
why don't we start from the top?

See, we're investigating
a murder, possibly several.

And we have reason
to believe that the killer

might have hired one of
your girls, a submissive.

I was supposed to take your word on that.

Oh, man.

All right, listen, I give up, you win.

You're too clever for me.

I'm just here for a free piece of ass.

Yeah.

Harry.

Hey, chill.

Harry!

Let Jessie rob this bank.

I suppose you want some, too.

I beg your pardon?

I think she likes you.

There's nothing more thrilling to a girl
when a man first considers her a woman.

I bet you think I'm a grown woman.

Everyone else around here
treats me like I'm a child.

Her breasts are just starting
to distinguish themselves.

Mmm, that feels so good.

You're making me so wet.

They say a girl never forgets her first.

Does it really hurt as much
as they say the first time?

She trusts you.

You look gentle.

Oh, yeah.

Hey.

You're paying for it?

Oh, no. You know I'm the kind of cop
who'll never arrest you for prostitution.

Think we can find that submissive now?

There were two of them. One quit.

Well, I think maybe I can
see the one that didn't quit.

You're looking at her.

I don't know how I can help you. None of
the dominants that I know would comply.

Whoa, whoa, wait a minute. Are
we speaking the same language?

I mean, all these guys get their
rocks off by whipping women.

Whips and chains are not an
indication of a violent personality type,

but simply a desire to explore feelings
of power and trust in a sexual context.

Doc, I'm going to need an English
to English translation on this one.

Well, what she's saying is true.

Most of the time their
purpose is to be cruel,

but to force their partners into
pleasures they otherwise couldn't accept.

What is this here? You both are
blowing smoke up my ass here?

These are the customers
we've had trouble with.

Wait a minute. What about
the submissive who quit?

You've got a way of
getting in touch with her?

No.

I wish. I have big plans for that girl.

I never knew another girl who enjoyed
this line of work as much as she did.

What about her name?

I've got several. She changed her
name to suit her customers' fancy.

Okay.

I'm going to keep this.

But here's my card.

If she contacts you, give me a call, okay?

Okay.

You boys come back anytime.

Oh, you can bet on it.

Don't let the doorknob hit you.

Jennifer, honey!

She's in the kitchen.

What are you doing here?

Jennifer invited me to watch videos.

I'll take them.

About you, of course.

Come on.

Oh, she's so cute.

And after I saw him, I
knew the psychiatrist

would desperately
need to see me.

I think I'm gonna go now.

Turn that off.

Honey, let's not make any
grand assessments here.

The only grand assessment
I'm making is that

my fiancé is fucking
one of his patients.

Am I wrong? Am I jumping to conclusions?

Well, no. But...

But what? But it's a new kind of therapy?

Tell me, what is it
that you're doing there?

Why don't we both just calm
down? We can discuss this rationally.

But you already seem
perfectly calm to me, Jonathan.

And you're the one that's
doing all the discussing.

So please, begin the discussion.

That's what I thought.

Goodbye, Jonathan.

Goodbye? What do you mean,
goodbye? Where are you going?

Oh, for God's sake, you don't need me.

You need someone to
fulfill your adolescent needs.

I've evolved beyond that
point, and I thought you had, too.

I was wrong. Goodbye.

Let her go. We don't need her.

You bitch. You did this to me.

No need to thank me. I enjoyed the movie.

She's very flexible.

Get out.

If that's what you desire, I
only did what you wanted.

What I wanted? You set me
up. You sent that girl to me.

I didn't send her. She's nobody I know.

What do you mean?

That's right.

You seduced her all by yourself.

I did not.

I did.

I think you're ready for me now.

Hey.

And then, do you want
to know what happened?

The guy in the record
store tried to pick me up.

How did you feel about that?

I was shocked. My husband
was waiting in the car for me.

No, I mean, what were you thinking
while he was making the pass?

Oh, I was thinking about his mouth.

I wanted my mouth to be on his mouth.

Thrilling, wasn't it? I bet
you never felt so alive.

That's exactly what it was like.
He was a new thrill I wanted to try.

But then I remembered my
husband, and I didn't know what to do.

Why are you smiling?

He just reminded me of something
Mae West once said in a movie.

She's trying to choose between two
men, one of whom she's already had.

And so she says,

Caught between two evils, I usually
choose the one I've never tried.

I began dispensing advice that
could easily blow up in my face.

I was in total danger and yet felt
safer than at any time in my life.

The truth is, Dr. Brooks, I'd do it.

If I could only figure out
how to keep it from Leonard.

Maybe you don't want to have an affair.

Maybe you're just rationalizing.

No. It's a real issue.

Leonard knows where I am.

Virtually every moment of the day.

And he makes sure to call me wherever I am.

Well, he can't call you here.

I'll only take crisis
calls during sessions.

No, it won't work.

I can't give up my
sessions with you, Doctor.

They would keep me going.

Who says you have to give them up?

Dr. Brooks, are you, um, propositioning me?

Would you like me to?

I don't know.

I should be offended.

No.

Outraged.

I'm sorry.

Yes?

Your two o'clock is here.

Thank you.

Dr. Brooks, I want you to hypnotize me.

Well, I thought you didn't like hypnosis.

I don't.

It's a necessary evil.

I think I was raped last night.

Raped?

Are you sure?

Do you remember it?

No.

Well, then how do you know you were raped?

When I woke up this morning,

I was sore.

Down there.

And I smelled sinful.

Sinful?

Like a man.

Musky with sweat.

And there was something else.

The faint smell of cologne.

Possession.

Well, I suppose I could hypnotize
you to get your memory back,

but that'd be just covering
old ground now, wouldn't it?

Why don't we just sit here
at the table today and talk?

Talk?

About what?

Oh, I don't know.

Sex?

Oh, no, I couldn't talk about that.

I think that might be part of the problem.

Were you happy as a child?

Yes.

Boyfriends?

No.

Boys ignored me.

You know, I find that hard to believe.

I bet you were a very pretty girl.

You know what I think?

I think that when men look in your eyes,

they dream about being happy.

But, Dr. Brooks, I don't think
you should say such things.

Nonsense.

Then call me Jonathan.

What's that?

I don't know.

It has my name on it.

It's a key and an address.

Why don't we take a drive?

There's a note.

This room is not of this world, Jonathan.

It is a dream world only we can inhabit.

Whatever fantasy you desire,

I will fulfill.

Lana.

I decided to wait.

Don't move.

Look, there's got to be
some kind of mistake.

I'm meeting someone.

In my apartment.

Your apartment.

That's right.

Tie your ankles.

Hey, look.

I'm, uh...

If you just let me reach into my
pocket, I'll show you some identification.

I am a doctor, and I'm supposed
to be meeting someone here.

A patient.

Since when did doctors make house calls?

Do it!

Okay, okay.

Cuff yourself.

Yes, I'd like to report a burglary.

Yes, he looks extremely dangerous.

No. No, I think I have it under control,
but please send someone immediately.

My...

Don't say a word.

Just give me the gun.

Oh, thank God you're here, Lana.

This woman thinks that
I'm some kind of burglar.

Kindly explain to her that this
was all just a misunderstanding.

Turn around.

What were you going to do with my friend?

Turn him over to the police.

Take off your clothes.

Lana, what are you doing?

Just sit there and relax and enjoy it.

No, get these handcuffs off
me and let's get out of here.

She's repressed, Jonathan.

She finds an attractive
man in her apartment and...

All of a sudden...

All she can think of
doing is calling the police.

Do as I say.

Don't you desire her, Jonathan?

It's you that I want.

And you'll have me.

But she's new, unconquered flesh.

And I want you to have
every possible pleasure.

Lana, this is crazy.

Take her, Jonathan.

You won't have this opportunity again.

Remove his trousers.

Doesn't that feel good?

I

The police.

The police?

Why would she call them?

How about breaking an entering
for starters and now rape?

Rape?

Who did we rape?

Who?

That woman.

Where did she go?

We're all alone, Jonathan.

No, I mean, she just... we just...

It's late, Jonathan.

I want to feel like a
child being put to bed.

Like a beautiful child.

And you'll be in bed with me, Jonathan.

And I will give you the most
wonderful erotic dreams.

Hello, Dr. Brooks' office.

Uh, no, he's not in yet, Tana.

Hold one moment, please.

Dr. Brooks' office.

Uh, yes, I told him you called, Beth.

I'll tell him as soon as he gets in.

Hold, please. You're late.

Something came up. Do I have any mail?

Beth called three times, Clarissa twice.

She says she wants to see you today.

And Detective Dan's office and your office.

And we still haven't had our talk.

Hey.

Hey, Jonathan.

Tell me something.

Does this hypnosis stuff really work?

If you want it to.

All hypnosis is essentially self-hypnosis.

Sounds like one hell of a scam to me.

It seems that you and the madam
were right about those dominants.

They all had alibis, huh?

Cream puffs.

Well, he ain't on one of them.

Biker, no less.

He immediately coughed up
the name of one of his friends.

Did you question him?

No, no, not yet.

He's been avoiding all his hangouts.

It's lucky for me I've got such a
great self-image, or I believe it.

I don't believe he
didn't want me in his life.

Hey, hey, hey.

You all right?

I'm fine, Harry.

Yes?

Crisis call on one.

Well, if it's Clarissa...

It sounds like Laura.

Yes, I'll take that.

Hello?

Lana, is that you?

Jonathan, you must have sex immediately.

Yeah.

Yeah, I think I can make that.

Harry, I have an emergency. I gotta go.

Yeah.

Cancel my appointments.

Jonathan, I need to speak to you.

Make an appointment with Helen.

But, Jonathan, you can't do this to me.

Hi.

I wondered if you'd come.

I brought something for you.

I don't care much for
sentimental gestures, Jonathan.

But these roses are
heavy with meaning for me.

They have all the virtue of mortality.

They're born, they flower,

and they die. Just like

people.

The color is blood red.

Sensual.

Music

I

Do you trust me, Jonathan?

With my life.

Good. I expect nothing less.

Yes.

What are you doing up?

I got some things I gotta
take care of at the office.

Colin's sick?

No, I can't. I've been doing
that for the past couple of weeks.

I'm coming right back.

Don't even try it.

Save your little pecs on the cheek
for Suzy Homemaker, not for me.

I'll be back soon.

Message to tell him?

No.

Aren't you going to answer the phone?

No.

It wouldn't help.

I'm sure you have no intention of keeping

today's appointments either.

You're Dr. Brooks.

Yes, I am. Who are you?

You don't know me, Doc, but you
do know my wife, Tama Simmons.

Oh, yes. Listen, I
don't have a lot of time.

That's all right, Doc.

See, I really didn't come here to talk.

You've done too much of
that already with my wife.

I guess next time you'll
think twice about telling

Tama to have an affair.

Yes, Helen, what is it?

I want you to read this.

What is it?

My resignation.

You're leaving me? Why?

You've left me no choice.

I can't work for a man I don't respect.

You don't keep your
appointments, you're lying to

your patients, and worst
of all, you're screwing them.

Have a nice life, Dr. Brooks.

I'm sorry.

Why aren't you returning my phone calls?

Why are you canceling
all of our appointments?

I'm sorry, but this has
been a very bad time for me.

Oh, please. I don't want
to hear your explanations.

I've decided to file sexual misconduct
charges against you with the AMA.

I wanted you to know.

Clarissa?

Why?

Because you took advantage of me, Jonathan,
at a time that I was very vulnerable.

I'm sorry, I'm the only one here.

Hello.

Where are you, darling?

I'm with a patient right
now. Is it important?

I need you.

Very important.

My body is desperate for you.

Yes, I'd like that.

I'd like to be there with you, too.

Oh, God.

Wait, I'll have to call you back.

Jonathan?

Please don't go. I think we need to talk.

Jonathan?

Ow!

Jonathan?

Jonathan?

So what's been going on?
How have you been feeling?

I just felt that with
you by my side that I

could handle anything
that life threw at me.

Clarissa, nobody's perfect.

You lied to me and I trusted you.

I think you're making more out
of this than what's really there.

You're a cold-hearted bastard.

Is that all that I was to
you? It's just a sexy body?

What are you bitching about?

Most women would love to
be considered a sexy body.

Who the hell are you?

I confess.

I'm Jonathan's lover.

What?

Yeah.

Who are you?

Clarissa, this is Lana. She's, um...

This is a private consultation.

Clarissa. Clarissa.

Oh, I remember now.

You're the one that Jonathan fucked.

Oh, my God.

Did you tell her that?

Oh, don't be upset.

You were very hot.

We used you to get in the mood.

I have nothing more to say, Dr. Brooks.

I'll let my lawyer do
the rest of the talking.

That was a stupid thing to do.

I think I'm going to leave you.

Leave me?

Why? What did I do?

When I choose a man, I want all of him.

I won't take second place to his job.

What, this? This means nothing to me.

She's going to bring me up
before the board of review?

I didn't even follow her.

I'm here with you.

For you.

Are you Jonathan?

Are you here for me?

I would do anything for you.

You know that.

Would you murder for me?

I'm joking.

I'm not joking.

Would you kill for me?

I don't find this amusing, Lana.

I thought you would
jump into the fire for me.

I would, Lana. I would
sacrifice my life for you.

But I could never take somebody else's.

No, you bastard!

Help!

You said you couldn't kill anyone.

Now you know how easy it is to kill.

Don't be so hard on yourself, darling.

If the circumstances are right,
everybody can commit murder.

You should know that.

Remember, no turning back.

Hello.

Oh, hi, Harry.

No, I haven't seen the news.

Hold on a second.

We found that the man in question

was in possession of two hands.

Now, if you'll excuse me,
Lucy, I've got work to do.

Thank you very much.

More on this story as it unfolds.

Thanks, Lucy.

And now let's check the
weather on the local scene.

The interrogation?

Yeah, I guess I can come.

Oh, and Harry, it's not nice
to make fun of reporters.

OK.

Rise at 615, sunset at 745.

View sports,

Go.

Thanks.

So how did you connect him to the murders?

Guy simply confessed.

To all five murders?

Oh, that's the fly in the ointment.

He only admitted to
one, victim number five.

That's why I need you here.

Forget your personal opinion about this.

Real crazy stuff is going on.

How'd you leave him?

Dead?

Tied up?

Did you take your rope
with you for your next victim?

What are you, deaf?

I told you there was no next victim.

It wasn't a rope, it was a bathrobe belt.

So it's just one. Only one.

So what does that make
you? Some kind of freaking

hero because you only
killed one instead of five?

Let me tell you something
buddy boy. You know you make it a

whole lot easier on yourself
if you fessed up to all five.

You see if you kill five
that makes you insane.

But if you only kill
one you're just a nasty,

slimy, garden variety,
cold blooded killer.

I ain't insane.

You're not insane. Of
course not you're not insane.

You just do murders
because your chick tells you to.

Is that the song you're gonna sing?

She was no ordinary chick.

Because my man you were in love.

You do anything she told you to.

Love.

It was sex man. Pure sex.

She was the hungriest
piece of ass I'd ever had.

Let me tell you something.

That sounds like someone
I'd really love to meet.

Yeah well I can't help you there man
because I don't know shit about her.

See raw sex is impossible if you
know too much about your lady.

Because then she's no longer just a body.

Yeah well I can't help you there man
because I don't know shit about your lady.

I

Tell me something. Is
there any reason she'd

have you murder
the victim in question?

I don't know. PMS maybe?

Get this asshole out of here.

That piece of shit.

His girlfriend made him do it.

You know, at least with Son of Sam,

he got direct orders from Satan's dog.

You don't think the mystery woman exists?

I don't know.

Let's go see what our
expert psychologist thinks.

Well, that's what it is.

I'm no stranger to love.

That's how I make my living.

Fulfilling the desires of men.

Men of all varieties.

Oh yeah, that's her, alright.

Although I'm a bit
surprised she's in therapy.

I thought working here was her therapy.

Hey, if you see her again, tell her
that she is welcome back here any time.

You. You murdered them.

Are you all right, Dr. Brooks?

Laura?

I know I shouldn't be here.
I was afraid to go to sleep.

I didn't have any place else to go.

It's quite all right.

You said I murdered them.
Have I done something wrong?

Laura, we need to talk.
Please come sit down.

Thank you.

You're a very sick girl. You need help.

Can't you help me?

No, I... I've compromised myself, and...

You've done some things while
you were unconscious that...

I really need to report before
you can get the help you need.

Don't call the police.

They already have the murderer.

Hello, Lana.

No, they don't.

He might have been the
weapon, but you pulled the trigger.

It's that same shit
you're trying to pull on me.

Not the same.

Moss was a brute.

I didn't care for him.

Not like I care for you.

What do you take me for?

A man like other men.

Easy to control once
you know their weakness.

Weakness?

If it makes your dick
hard, it's a weakness.

There never was a Laura, was there?

Different bait for different fish.

With Moss, I was a submissive.

With you,

I was a troubled little angel

with multiple personalities.

You call the police, there'll be
no one to save you from Clarissa.

Fuck Clarissa. It's her word against mine.

It's erotic transference, a
very common phenomenon.

Maybe. Maybe it's in her mind.

Maybe it's in a videotape.

Where are they?

I sent them to Clarissa.

What?

Plus the tapes of you and Beth.

What is it exactly that you want from me?

Only what you want.

Sexual freedom.

You don't want me to kill for you?

For me?

No.

For you.

Kill Clarissa.

Clarissa?

You want me, Jonathan?

No.

Admit it, Jonathan.

The body has its own morality.

At this moment, you want me more
than you've ever wanted anyone.

Listen to the flesh, Jonathan.

The flesh never lies.

You want me?

Take me.

Take me.

Was found today,
which raises the question,

did the police arrest
the right man, or is

this simply the work of a copycat killer?

If the murder is related,
it would bring to six

the total number of
the strangler's victims.

The police are understandably embarrassed
by this latest murder and are offering no

comment.

Not much is known about this latest victim.

Like the others, a beautiful
woman, perhaps too beautiful.

In a town built on the
buying and selling of

beautiful bodies,
perhaps it should surprise

none of us that human
life has become this cheap.

You want to tell me about it?

How'd you know?

Well, it wasn't difficult to figure out.

I knew something was troubling you.

And I knew she was your patient.

Not just any patient, Harry.

A patient I slept with.

I'll buy the drink.

Did you know that almost all
murderers judged criminally insane

were sexually repressed as children?

It's a fact.

Somewhere along the line,

someone told them that sex was bad,

so they murdered their sex.

But when you murder
your sex, it doesn't die.

It just becomes plain old murder.

She offered herself to me and I accepted.

She asked me to kill, enjoying
it, expecting me to enjoy it.

And for the first time since
I met her I felt defiance.

I looked into her eyes
and I saw the future.

No judge was going to convict her.

She'd done nothing wrong. She'd
had all her men do the dirty work for her.

So I made a decision.

I put my hands around
Lana's neck and I squeezed.

Sex can be an act of murder, Harry.

All men kill the things they love.

And I did. I did.

Now I guess it's time for the you've
got the right to remain silent bit.

No.

Oh, it's time for another drink.

You understand the system pretty well, Doc.

The hell with the water.

Doc, you remember that time you
helped me when I killed that perp?

I was going to quit the force.

And you talked me out of it.

You know, I never really
thanked you for that.

Yes, you did, Harry.

Not really.

I thanked you for talking
me out of quitting the force,

but I never thanked you for
talking me out of quitting life.

It's true.

I would have if not for you.

You know, the funny thing with scotch,

if I drink enough of it the next day,

I don't remember what I said,
what I did, or what I heard.

So Doc, why don't you just keep on talking,

and I'll keep on drinking.

And who knows, perhaps tomorrow will be

a better day for both of us.

I don't know.

So

I
