Final Analysis Page #5

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 f*** 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 sh*t!

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 sh*t!

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
