Looker Page #2

Yes, of course, I realized that.

Have you found those missing files?

No, not yet.

And there are four files missing.

All four girls you did exact surgery on

a few months ago.

- Why should they be missing?

- I don't know.

Lisa, Susan, Tina and Cindy.

I've been trying to call them

to redo their files...

...but I haven't been able to reach

Lisa and Susan by phone.

Cindy just left

but we've got her new card.

- And Tina's right here.

- Tina?

Can we talk in private?

Change you back? Why, what's wrong?

Because I'm too perfect.

Because they're gonna kill me,

that's why.

Who is?

They're killing all the girls

that are perfect.

Do you think I'm crazy?

Who told you to make these changes?

Dr. Roberts, it's the office of Senator...

Later. Hold all calls.

Senator Harrison. That's who that was.

He's running for president...

...and you're helping him.

Tina, what are you talking about?

Here. Here, here, here.

I'm on the 9:
00 flight to Chicago...

...to see my family.

And I want someone in Chicago

to put me back the way I was.

- That's all.

- Why?

You don't know what's going on.

This is more than commercials.

Dr. Roberts, long distance

from Chicago for Tina Cassidy.

- Do you wanna take it in the other room?

- Nobody knows I'm here.

- Oh, Jesus. This is bad!

- Oh, Tina, Tina...

Has a big man with a mustache

been here?

Has he been here?

- What do you mean? The police?

- Police?

They're in on it. The police.

Did you mention my name?

Oh, God.

I left my bags in my apartment.

Hey, hey, hey.

Dr. Belfield has gone out of town.

I'm sorry, may I help you?

No, this is not the...

Did you wish to speak

to Dr. Roberts?

"Digital Matrix"?

"Tina Cassidy."

Measurements to the millimeter.

Ellen, call Lieutenant Masters.

Tell him I'm going to Tina's apartment.

So you came to her apartment...

...and while you rang the downstairs bell,

she fell to her death.

Correct.

Then you saw a man with a mustache

on the balcony.

You came up to find him

but when you arrived you were alone.

- Is that it?

- That's it.

That's the worst goddamn story

I ever heard.

- It's the truth.

- Sh*t.

We got 48, 92nd at Vancouver.

"Digital Matrix, Incorporated."

Tina.

Lisa. Susan.

Cindy.

Tina, Lisa, Susan.

Cindy.

Cindy.

Dr. Roberts, what are you doing here?

I'm a friend of Steve's.

I fixed his hand once.

So you just dropped by, huh?

Actually, I wondered

if you were free for dinner tonight.

For dinner?

I thought you didn't date your patients.

Oh, no, I don't. I mean, it's not a date.

It's a fundraiser, black tie.

Actually, my date's sick.

Oh, gee, I don't know, you know?

Thanks, but I don't know if I can.

I don't know when I'm done tonight.

It's at John Reston's.

John Reston?

John Reston who does

half the commercials in L.A.?

I think that's right, yeah.

Well, I mean, l... I could...

What time?

Dr. Roberts?

- Miss Fairmont.

- Hello.

- I'm Jennifer Long.

- How do you do?

Mr. Reston is most anxious

to meet you...

...so if you'll excuse me,

I'll go find him for you.

Thank you.

Cheers.

I've looked over your proposal

for the burns unit.

- It's very interesting.

- Thank you.

How much capitalization do you expect

from the government?

Eleven percent, including local MRC

and research grants...

...but that's only supplementary

running costs once underway.

So you're looking for $ 7 million

to build it.

Well, under appropriate auspices...

...Reston Industries

would be willing to fund 4 million.

What are the appropriate auspices?

It would have to be called

the Reston Burns Unit.

And we'd want something to say

about all press announcements.

Well, for 4 million,

you can have quite a lot of say.

I hoped you'd feel that way.

I gather this is a personal cause for you.

Yeah, it's my project, my baby.

I know how you feel.

The desire to make something

you believe in work.

Oh, I believe dinner's ready.

- Did you ever try any TV shows?

- Oh, wonderful being in commercials.

So what exactly

does Reston Industries do?

We're a $6-billion conglomerate,

We're diversified into fast foods,

leisurewear, pharmaceuticals.

We do high-technology

perceptual devices...

...military head-up displays...

...pinball machines

and television commercials.

But I understand you have something to do

with commercials too.

- Who, me?

- Yes, it was on the news tonight.

Something about girls who died

after having plastic surgery.

It was a police report.

It was just a routine inquiry.

I didn't realize my name

would be mentioned.

Well, I hope it doesn't cause you

any trouble.

What was the inquiry about, Dr. Roberts?

It's all a coincidence, really.

I did surgery on several girls

a few months back.

Commercial actresses.

- And there have been some suicides.

- Oh, how awful.

Well, unstable young actresses

trying to make fast money in commercials...

...they find it tougher than they thought,

that's all.

The police can't think

that you had anything to do with it.

Oh, no. No, it's nothing like that.

Well, that's good.

We couldn't get involved

in anything awkward.

No, actually, the girls are all linked...

...with some company

called Digital Matrix.

Digital Matrix?

Well, that sounds rather sinister,

doesn't it, Jennifer?

You see, Jennifer runs Digital Matrix.

- Really?

- Yes.

Digital Matrix does basic research

for Reston Industries.

Well, it's true that D.M.I.

Measured some girls for possible surgery.

We were conducting an experiment

on a new visual technology...

...but we never went forward with it.

I mean, are you sure

that these are the same girls?

I think so.

Digital Matrix does mostly

theoretical research.

I can't believe it.

How many girls have died?

Three.

Must be a coincidence.

Well, that's what it sounds like to me.

Coincidence.

Now, doctor, tell me about your staffing

for your burns unit.

Larry, you've ignored me all evening.

Come meet a friend of mine.

She's very cute so watch yourself,

okay?

- Candy, this is Larry.

- Hi.

- Hello, Candy. Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.

You told him everything.

- I told him nothing.

- But he does suspect.

Dr. Roberts has no idea

what's going on...

...and he's not going to find out anything

before Sunday, is he?

I will not spend the night.

- You will.

- I can't.

I'm working in the morning.

Come on, I have a Hawaiian Tropic

in the morning.

Don't do that.

You're full of surprises.

What next?

You get some sleep.

The bathroom's over there...

...and there's a towel, soap,

whatever you need.

Coffee and eggs in the morning.

And get up at 6:
30.

Six-thirty?

Nobody gets up at 6:30.

Sleep well.

Where are you going?

Larry?

This is very weird, Larry.

You do that every day?

Only when I'm working.

But you have to admit it is weird.

Are you finished with these eggs?

Why would you have me stay the night

and not hit on me?

Just looking out for your interests.

- I don't understand men.

- Only trying to help.
