Yet a person suffering from pathological intoxication...
...may otherwise show no evidence of mental disorder?
In my experience...
...I would say that's correct.
Thank you.
Your witness.
You repeatedly make reference to your experience...
...with this obscure disorder.
How many patients with this condition...
...have you actually treated?
During my fellowship training at the Stanford Psychiatric Institute...
...I had the opportunity to...
Excuse me.
- Conduct a study of pathological intoxication.
My findings were published in the Journal of General Psychiatry.
In all, there were 87 patients involved.
Did any of these 87 patients...
Excuse me?
Did any of these 87 patients beat their spouses to death?
Oh, dear God, no!
Thank you.
No further questions.
Request opportunity for redirect.
Proceed.
Can you tell us what some of them did in the psychotic phase of their illness?
Didn't one of them slash her wrists?
Yes.
Didn't one break her son's arm?
One of them threw himself in front of a BART train. Lost a leg.
It's all there in my paper.
Thank you, doctor.
I get the lady off, you owe me one.
How about fixing me up with her sister?
Very, very sick man.
- What can I do? - Jury's back!
Mr. Foreman, have you reached a verdict?
We have, Your Honor.
"We, the jury, find the defendant, Heather Evans...
...not responsible by reason of temporary insanity...
...due to pathological intoxication. "
Quiet!
Be seated in this courtroom!
She is to remain in the custody of the Overland Hospital...
...for further examination and observation...
...until it is confirmed that she represents no danger to anyone...
...and that she no longer...
...suffers from active dangerous mental disorders.
This court is adjourned.
Hello, Dr. Barr.
Hi, Diana.
So how long do you think I have to stay in here?
The law says it could be indefinite.
But if your evaluation goes fine, you can be out of here...
...in six to eight weeks.
But that's two months.
You did kill your husband.
I'm gonna get myself on this evaluation committee.
So hopefully that'll guarantee a minimum stay here.
All right.
Thank you. For everything.
Sure.
Everyone has heard Freud's rhetorical question:
"Women...
...what do they want?"
Elsewhere, Freud refers to the female sex...
...as "the dark continent. "
In his Interpretation of Dreams...
...the man who gave the world "penis envy"...
...declares that women's libido is essentially masochistic.
The evidence?
Well, it's buried deep in chapter six.
A patient, dreaming about arranging a floral centerpiece...
...has the poor taste to mix violets with lilies...
...and carnations.
The lilies represent purity...
...the carnations, carnal desire.
And of course last, but not least...
...the violets...
...standing in for a woman's unconscious need to be violated.
Violently...
...wouldn't you know?
But I would like to paraphrase the good doctor...
...and say that sometimes a violet is just a violet.
And what of the table on which they're laid?
Forgive the expression.
Sit down. Can I talk to you a minute?
During the trial, you said something strange.
"I never thought we'd see her up there. "
It's none of my business, seeing how she's your friend.
That's okay. What did you mean by that?
It's just that a guy like me, married as I am, notices women like that.
Even with her sunglasses and scarf on.
What are you talking about?
She sat in the back row a couple of times last year.
Last year?
When you were testifying. It looked like she was hanging on your every word.
I'm glad for you...
...that she got off.
Woman's really something.
She's really something.
Okay. Thanks a lot, Stan.
Not good.
Let me guess.
Jimmy's brother was never sole beneficiary?
No, he was.
Right before he checked out a month before the murder. Bone cancer.
That's about the time I met her.
At that point, Heather became the sole beneficiary.
How much?
The policy was for 2 million.
But since she was found not responsible, they have to pay double because...
...technically...
...the whole thing was an accident.
She's gonna walk out of Overland 4 million richer than when she walked in.
I knew I should've taken this case for a piece of the action.
- I want to see Heather. - It's way past visiting hours.
I don't care.
- The patients are secured... - Now!
What's going on?
Why did you do it?
What?
Why did you do it?
Do what?
Just tell me that...
...that it evolved.
The plan.
Because you were...
...desperate, because of the emotional...
...and psychological torture. Tell me that...
Tell me anything. Just don't say it was for the money.
Not something as cold as that.
Isaac, this is crazy.
This is crazy.
It's also very clever.
You are a very clever woman.
You sent me your sister...
...for help.
Very concerned, very compassionate.
It was all lies.
Diana told me.
You watched me! You came to court, watched me testify!
You auditioned me, like for a part!
No, she didn't.
She didn't tell you a thing.
Diana told me everything.
Do you remember that little lead pipe you held at the lighthouse?
It was the handle to a dumbbell.
The dumbbell.
Don't fuck with me, Isaac!
Or I'll have to prove you killed Jimmy.
I would've done anything for you.
Jesus, what I did for you!
Dr. Barr.
Detective.
You look upset.
Could use a shower too.
How's Heather?
What can I do for you?
How's Heather?
She's fine.
Anthony Evangalou.
Ring a bell?
Jimmy Evans' older brother.
See, last I heard...
...he was supposed to collect on Jimmy's life insurance.
I do a little digging...
...find out the man's taking a dirt nap underneath the Parthenon.
Ain't gonna get shit!
Hey, what did she tell you?
She ain't gonna share the 4 million with you?
I got a report due in the morning.
Don't yank my dick!
The night of the murder...
...a stud enters the building with her.
Hinky thing.
No one sees this stud walk out.
Interesting lead. Follow up on it.
Doorman's a pillhead on parole.
Even if he I.D.'d, in court it would be worth zip.
You think it was me?
At this juncture...
...I know it was.
The expert witness is your friend. The lawyer's your best friend.
The sister's your patient, and you're banging the accused.
Now, if you were me...
...what would you think?
Are you arresting me?
Without a murder weapon, I can't do jack.
I want to go home, take that shower.
You do that.
Sorry I'm late.
You look really nice.
Thank you.
You're seeing Isaac later?
What did you tell him?
Tell him?
About us.
I told him the dream.
The one we picked.
And?
And that's all.
Why?
He's leading you on.
What are you talking about?
You love him.
- I don't know what you mean. - It's okay.
It happens between patients and doctors all the time.
- I just don't want you to get hurt. - I'm not going to.
He knows everything.
He said you told him everything.
Oh, my God! I didn't tell him shit!
I didn't tell him anything!
I just want you to keep in mind...
...if I go down, you go down with me.
He won't let this go.
Not unless we persuade him to.
Are you gonna help me...
...or not?
Let's talk about how your father died.
You promised me that whatever Heather said about my parents, you'd tell me.
Yes, I did. That's right.
What did she say?
That your father raped you.
More than once.
Anything else?
That he was killed...
...in a fire.
My father was...
Died smoking in bed...
...drunk.
I can still smell the liquor.
Think I had something to do with that?
I wasn't suggesting that.
I don't think I had anything to do with that.
- I'm really worried about Heather. - Why is that?
You saw her at the hospital.
She looked awful.
She looked like a crazy person, don't you think?
Of course, she's under so much stress.
So much stress...
...can manifest...
...in very bizarre ways.
Lies?
Yes, lies.
I wish there was something we could do...
...to help Heather.
That is, if you're still interested in helping Heather.
Good morning.
So what do you think...
...now that we can talk...
...about the way I am...
...and what I did?
What would a shrink call somebody like me?
Remember, Heather...
...your confinement is indefinite.
I'm on the committee that evaluates you every six months.
And there is a very compelling argument that you belong in here.
Planning a murder for nearly two years.
Waiting for Jimmy's brother to die.
I'd call that pathological.
Have you forgotten?
I still have the dumbbell.
I haven't forgotten that.
Tomorrow at noon...
...I'm bringing two assistant DAs here.
They'll want to hear your story...
...and mine.
But I've already been found not responsible.
Haven't you ever heard of double jeopardy?
I can't be tried twice for the same crime, now, can I?
Then you have nothing to worry about.
See you at noon tomorrow.
I gather you've heard his version.
Maybe you're ready for the truth.
Of course, Miss Evans.
I've invited my sister.
She'll corroborate my story.
Let Miss Evans' sister in as soon as she arrives.
In the meantime, why don't we begin?
I should have a lawyer here, but...
...my lawyer is his best friend.
I tried to replace him, but the judge wouldn't let me.
Recently, I've been found to be temporarily insane...
...so I have to defend myself, on my own.
We'll listen carefully and impartially to whatever you have to tell us.
My sister's a patient of his...
...and we've met a few times...
...to talk about family business. In the course of doing that...
...we started an affair.
The first time Isaac ever said anything about killing my husband...
...I thought he was joking.
He knew I suffered from pathological intoxication.
But he became obsessed!
He insisted that we had the...
...the makings of a perfect murder.
He followed me home one night.
He followed me home one night and...
He acted really...
...agitated...
...and upset. I tried to make him leave, but he wouldn't.
He went upstairs and he did it.
He hit Jimmy.
Isaac hit Jimmy with a dumbbell.
I was horrified.
I think he was horrified too.
Because he ran.
He ran right out of the apartment...
...and he called me. He called me in about five minutes and...
...from a bar...
...or someplace, and he told me...
He told me to tell the police...
...that I had done it...
...after sipping cough syrup.
I did. I hid the dumbbell...
...for Isaac.
I know it was wrong to conceal the evidence.
But I was so scared.
So I got my sister...
I got my sister to bring the briefcase today.
It's okay, you can give it to him. It's okay.
What's that?
Where's the dumbbell?
He's controlling her!
He made her substitute those for the dumbbell!
They're from the planet Bantar, right?
How did he get you to do it?
You're fucking her, aren't you?
Bastard!
Answer me!
You don't understand.
They're framing me. They're both in on it.
Of course, Miss Evans.
You're doctors?
You know we're doctors. You're just confused now.
- I'm with the review committee. - I consult for the insurance company.
- You liars! - You're very upset, Miss Evans.
You tricked me! All of you tricked me!
Hold it. Hold on. I think I can reach her.
You're in it together!
It's okay. It's all right. It's fine.
You were right about double jeopardy. This was the only way.
You cocksucking son of a bitch! You bastard!
Fuck you all! Fuck you all!
You lied to me! Let go of me! Fuck you!
When you came to us the other day with your diagnosis, we were skeptical.
There was no indication of psychosis. There's no prior history.
She's worse than you described her.
Talk about paranoid.
What did she think we were? District attorneys?
The anxiety of killing her husband, plus the repeated insults of alcohol...
...have brought on a full-scale organic psychosis.
I wouldn't be surprised if there's further deterioration.
Why don't we do a review in six months and take it from there?
We appreciate you taking the time. We know how these cases can drag on.
Patients remain confined for years.
Good morning.
Caterpillar's become a butterfly.
May I get you something to drink?
Champagne cocktail.
Your hair.
Do you like it?
They're extensions.
I hope you're not uncomfortable here.
It's so nice to see you away from the office.
How did you know you could win me over?
The dream.
Why did you choose a dream from the archives?
My dreams are none of your business.
You were hoping that I would recognize it.
You wanted me to intervene.
I just can't seem to get off your couch, can I, Dr. Barr?
I don't know what's going on in your mind.
But whatever it is that...
...I could have done...
...whatever I might have implied, whatever you...
...imagined, I'm sorry. It's just not gonna happen.
Fear of intimacy? What do you think? Is that a problem?
I want you to understand this.
Heather and me...
...you and me...
...it's finished. It's over.
- Gone. - But you're my doctor!
I can't be your doctor...
...or anything else.
What I can do, and will do, is find you another therapist.
I should've done it months ago.
There is something that I need from you.
I need the dumbbell.
The dumbbell?
It's gone.
I got rid of it. I threw it in the bay.
All right.
Well, I will be...
...giving you a call very soon...
...with a new doctor's name.
I think it's best if we just say goodbye now.
Let's say it then.
What are you gonna do to me?
Why?
Because of what I did to you.
I love you.
Tell me about Isaac.
You were right.
He doesn't care about me. He doesn't even want to be my doctor.
It's okay.
We have one more chance.
You've got to get the dumbbell to Huggins.
No, I can't.
I can't touch it. I can't sleep with it in the apartment.
I can't. I just...
Heather, I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry for what I've done to you.
Maybe there is something you can do to make up for it.
All visitors, please clear the day room.
Excuse me, miss.
You forgot your purse.
She has it? Diana has the dumbbell?
Yeah, I can see her from here.
She's got it. She's putting it in a bag.
If you could possibly grab it, give me a call. I'll pick it up from you.
No problem.
How did it go?
I have it.
That's great. I can be there in 15, 20 minutes, tops.
- You know where I am? - 7th and King.
And you're all right?
Thanks. I'll be right over.
Yeah, I'll be here.
Wrong girl, pal.
- Homicide. - Detective Huggins, please.
If it's not one thing, it's a damn 'nother.
Hello, detective. This is Heather Evans.
I have that item you've been looking for.
I thought you were still in Overland.
I got a pass. I've got what you want.
I'm at the Bay Marina. I won't be here longer than 40 minutes.
Bay Marina? I know it. I'll be there.
I heard this boom, but I didn't think nothing of it.
We hear that all the time around here.
- You know him? - What happened?
Took a pill in the chest. Small caliber.
- Pepe, can you hear me? - He's stabilized.
Can you hear me?
Hold on a second.
Bay Marina.
Gone 20 minutes, maybe.
Got the pipe, doc.
She got the pipe.
He'll be okay.
You're gonna be all right.
- Easy. - You'll be all right.
All right, let's go.
I can't believe it. If I hadn't got stuck on Market...
...I'd have beat those fuckers.
That's life, right?
How fast can you get me across the bay?
Fast.
Shit!
Damn it!
I got it.
They say your buddy's in surgery. He's gonna make it.
Thanks.
This ought to be good.
This is the dumbbell Heather used to kill her husband.
I guess I shouldn't have touched it.
You're a smart fucker, aren't you?
There's a shooting victim at Overland who can positively I.D. Her.
Get in the car.
Listen to me, lady.
Both of you. Get in the car!
This is kidnapping, sweetheart.
One great big old felony.
But I tell you what. I'll make you a deal.
I don't think you understand.
I don't need any deal.
Right now, I'm locked up in a hospital, far from what's going to happen.
You'll both be found dead. Your prints on the dumbbell, his on his gun.
Nobody will know what happened.
You remember when we were here?
That meant nothing.
Nothing!
Maybe. Maybe not.
Diana's dream was a lie.
What you told me about the fire did mean something, didn't it?
It was about your father...
...and you.
It was you your father raped.
More than once.
You couldn't take that.
You snapped...
...and then you killed him.
Because he passed out drunk that night...
...soaked in booze...
...all you had to do was strike a match.
Maybe he deserved to die.
Maybe Jimmy did too.
It's over.
It's really over.
Give me the gun.
It's over.
It's not over!
You think you can shrink me like one of your fucking patients?
You think that makes me feel better?
I don't give a shit about you or my father!
I don't give a shit about anything!
You'll kill both of us.
I'm gonna kill you first.
Down here!
The window!
You all right?
Were you surprised by the not-guilty verdict?
Do you feel you were unjustly tried as an accomplice?
Amazing!
Diana was Heather's accomplice.
Everybody bought it.
Especially the jury.
It made sense, didn't it?
Heather was the one who actually committed the crimes.
Diana was unstable...
...victimized by her older sister. It's perfect.
Too bad I didn't represent her.
You ever think maybe you picked the wrong sister?
I want to know everything about you, Heather.
The first thing you should know about me is I'm an only child.
Now you've got me.
To us.
I'm really not supposed to drink.
Maybe just one sip.
