"I think sex is overrated, Dr Taylor   don't you?" "No, I guess not." "You'd be out of a job, wouldn't you?" "I love that little scar   on your mouth." "My mother told me about sex." "She told me to make it an act of love." "Never force yourself on anyone." "And I never have." "The police have an eyewitness to the last killing." "You were positively identified." "Yes, by a crack whore   who needed glasses to pick me in the line-up." " How does that make you feel?" " I don't know why they try to frame me." "How often would you say you suffer from bouts of amnesia?" "I don't remember..." "Just kidding." "I am here at the request of the court." "My job is to evaluate whether you are competent to stand trial." "Tell me about these voices you hear." "Do they come from inside your head or from outside of your head?" "Outside." "Sometimes I hear voices from the TV telling me to do things." " All kinds of weird shit." " Interesting." " Why?" "Does it make a difference?" " A difference to what?" "If I have MPD?" "Multiple personality disorder." "That's part of it." "But I am the one who should be asking the questions, Max." "You're a very attractive woman   for a shrink." "Thank you." " We're out of time today." " No, you're out of fucking time." "I'm not out of time." "I've got all the time in the world." "You don't realise the severity of the charges." "They think I am a monster and want to strap me in an electric chair." "Goodbye, Max." "You don't have to like it, you just have to be... impacted by it." "I spent all afternoon with a guy who does this shit for real." "You should see the pictures of his handiwork." "You should get him to sign them." "He could make a fortune." "You're probably right." "It's a sick world." "You really light up when you're morbid." "Come on." "Here are the last pieces." "See anything for over the heart?" "Everything's entertainment." "It's the only value we recognise, isn't it?" "That's the truth..." "Bartender, another Nyquil for my friend." " You smell incredible." " I'm not wearing anything." "I wish..." "It all comes down to smell." "Speak for yourself." "That's really all we are." "We're just animals with beepers." "Maybe it does all come down to smell..." "And you smell like a friend who lives upstairs." "I didn't smell like a friend when you moved here, did I?" "That was one night and I was drunk." "So, in a state of reduced consciousness " " I am devastatingly attractive to you." " You just don't give up, do you?" " No, I'm Sisyphus with a hard on." "It's over a year since that guy dumped you." "Eleven months." "And Benny didn't dump me." " Whatever." "You have to get over it now." " No, I don't have to get over it now." "That I don't want a romantic affair now is not pathological." "It's my choice." "Who said anything about involvement?" "I just want to fuck." "Goodnight, Cliff." " Hi, Maura." " Good morning, Dr Taylor." "Give me five minutes before you put any calls through." "The defendant is an only child." "A cousin had a psychiatric hospitalisation." "The defendant has no prior psychiatric history   but shows signs of multiple personality disorder   and describes finding himself places not knowing how he got there." "Mr Wabash is on his way to see you." " Wabash?" " Yes, Max Cheski's attorney." "Oh, right..." "Did he have an appointment?" "Yes, you spoke with him yesterday." "Have a seat, Mr Wabash." " What can I do for you?" " My client thinks you don't like him." "He's worried he'll not get a fair shake." "Tell Mr Cheski I'll be as fair as he can expect." "So what is going on here?" "I'm entitled to disclosure." "I haven't finished my evaluation." "What's to evaluate?" "He's a total schizo." "We're talking Jekyll and Hyde." "You're confusing schizophrenia with multiple personality disorder." "He could be a schizophrenic or he could be suffering from MPD   but unless he's making psychiatric history, he can't be both." "You're saying he's faking this in order to beat the rap, aren't you?" "I'm suspending judgement until later." "Let me be frank with you." "I think as a woman you may be prejudiced against my client." "You may have certain..." "personal issues regarding rape." "Like you might have personal issues regarding castration?" " Oh, I'm sorry." " No, I'm sorry." " Go ahead." " After you." " No." " Excuse me?" "Bad choice..." "They don't make a good Cabernet." " They make a good Pinot Noir." " A good domestic Pinot Noir." "No, that's a contradiction in terms." " Ever had Calera?" " Ever had La Tache?" " Would you like to?" " No." "Thank you." " You don't know what you're missing." " I don't know you." "My name is Tony." "Tony Ramirez." "Mr Ramirez, we're strangers." "I was raised to never talk to strangers." "If you never talk to strangers, you'll never make any friends." " You live in the neighbourhood?" " No." "What a coincidence." "Remember me?" "We met in the wine section." " Tony Ramirez." " The burgundy snob." "I don't usually do this, but I just moved here and don't know a soul." " From where?" " Puerto Rico." "I guess I'm a bit overanxious to make friends." "Oh, really..." "See that woman over there?" "Why not make friends with her?" "Because..." "I admit it." "I find you incredibly attractive." "If you think I am bothering you, If you think I am out of line,   just tell me and I am gone." "This is your last chance." "Before we run into each other in the parking lot." " What year?" " I was hoping for this year." " Maybe even tonight." " I was talking about the La Tache." "Sixty-one." "Do I look like someone who can be bought with a good vintage?" "You look like someone who..." "must be won." "Taxi!" "What do you say?" "Say yes." "Say yes!" "Here's my number." "Call me." "Sarah?" "You almost gave me a heart attack!" "I'm sorry, I've been calling all day." "I kept getting that damn machine." "Aren't you gonna give your father a hug?" "Are you okay?" "Yeah, I'll just clean up this mess before the neighbours complain." " How long have you been in town?" " I came in this afternoon." "I'm only staying one night." "I have some customers to see tomorrow   and then I'm gone." "I'm sorry, it's not a good time." "I've got to go out, I have to get ready." " Won't you even offer me a drink?" " I don't have any liquor." "If I had known you were coming..." "You were such a sweet little girl, so pretty." "I was hoping to stay on the couch tonight." "Every dollar counts now." " I'm sorry, Henry, it isn't convenient." " Not convenient?" "This is some family!" "Why don't you call me Dad?" "You can't just show up out of the blue." "I haven't seen you in ages." "Am I just supposed to drop everything?" "You don't seem pleased to see me." "I'm a sick man, Angel." "I won't be around forever." "I am pleased to see you." "Do you have plans for Christmas?" "Maybe I could do it here." "Cook a turkey." "Don't put yourself out." "Here." "At least I can pay for your motel." "You don't have to do that." " Call me, we'll make a plan." " Bye, Angel." " I need vodka." " I don't have any." " Sure you do." " No, I don't." "I saw some in..." " Are you coming, Cliff?" " I'll be right there." " I don't have any vodka, I hate it." " She loves vodka." "Is she old enough to drink?" "What do you talk about?" "Who said we talk?" "We can relate in other ways." "Right, you can just smell each other." "Voilá!" " Somebody must have given it to me." " Who?" "Yeltsin?" "Anyway, thank you for not having it." "You saved my life." "Hello?" "Oh, hi..." "Of course I remember." "La Tache '61, a memorable year." "That would be nice." "Who is Tony?" "What do you mean, don't let the elevator scare me?" "Okay." "Top floor, 63." "Great, okay." "I'll see you tomorrow night, bye." "You have a date?" "I have a winetasting." " For how many people?" " Two." "La Tache '61." " You're a bad influence." " How bad?" "Well, here I am, getting drunk..." "with a stranger." " Stranger?" " You know what I mean." "You need more wine." " You never heard from him again?" " Not a word." "One minute I was to marry Benny, the next he was gone." " He split?" "He ran out on you?" " He didn't leave a note." "What a shit, huh?" "So what does a surveillance consultant do?" "Kind of what it sounds like." " A bodyguard?" " That's how I started." "Now I sell security devices." "Alarm systems, car alarms, motion sensors." "My job's about making people feel safe." "You're good at it." "You think so?" "I feel nothing bad could happen when you're around." "I like that." "Thank you." " Are you from New York?" " No, I'm from Albany." "That was way back." "My mother was   killed when I was five and we moved away." "Killed?" "Yeah, a car crash." "I'm sorry." "I don't really remember anything about it." "I was raised by my aunt in New York." "What about your father?" "He was a travelling salesman." " He was always on the road." " Must have been lonely." "I guess." "I never knew any different." "The only memory I have of my mother   is of her reading to me at night." "She used to climb into bed with me." "I remember her." "I really miss her." " I'm sorry, I'm being ridiculous." " It suits you." "Being ridiculous?" "Being not so... in control." "You look different today." "What is it?" "Did your sex life pick up?" "Good morning, Max." "I didn't think I'd see you again." " I thought you had decided about me." " Why?" "Because you're a judgemental person..." "for a psychologist." " That's why your attorney came?" " He's a fucking idiot." "I told him it wouldn't work." "I told him you're not the kind of person to be intimidated." " You were right." " Good, you've got principles." "If we had more like you, this world would be a better place." "I want to ask you more about these voices you say you hear." "That I say I hear?" "You're being judgemental and you don't even know it." " That's not good, it's not fair!" " You're absolutely right." "I'm sorry." " Let me rephrase the question." " You do that." " But I know you're not on my side." " I'm not on anybody's side." "Oh no, Sarah." "If you're not for me, you're against me." "Hi, Sarah." "I just thought I'd call." "I can't wait to see you tonight." "I pick you up at seven, okay?" "It's Tony, by the way." "Bye." "Son of a bitch." " I'm impressed." " What do you want?" " I don't care." " She'll take the tiger." "No, the giraffe." " He's so cute." " I figured you for the tiger." "Good thing I'm not a shrink." "Where did you learn to shoot?" "I was a cop." " What?" " I was a cop." "In Puerto Rico." "Really?" "That's surprising." "Why did you quit?" "The hours." "How about another try?" "Why don't you shoot the rest." " Oh, no." " Yes, yes." " No, I hate guns." " It's just a toy." "Try it for fun." " It's not fun." " Yes, it is." "Come on." "You need to get both sides like that." "Kill the clown." "Go for it." "It's all right." "What's wrong?" " Do you want a doctor?" " No." " Can you stand up?" " I don't know." "All right, come here." "I made you some chamomile tea." " A cop who makes chamomile tea?" " That's me." " Tony, did you send me flowers?" " Flowers?" "No." " Was I supposed to?" " No." "I wish I had." "Must be another admirer." "I think I should go now." "Sarah, is this a nice way of dumping me?" " We should slow down." " You mean stop?" "I mean..." "it's hard for me... to trust people." "Me too." " So, I'll go." " You want to go?" "Fine." "Go." "Be my guest." " I don't fucking know what's going on." " Don't talk to me like that." "I don't understand." "One minute you're all over me, the next you push me out." " I was never all over you." " It seemed that way." "Fuck you!" "Wait, you forgot something." "What else?" "That's how I like my men." "Wet... and naked." "Maura?" "Do you know anything about this note?" "It was in with your other mail." "Winter storms blanketed the northeast   resulting in highway closures along the eastern seaboard." "Road crews worked through the night..." "Following one of our top stories:" "Accused serial killer Max Cheski remains in jail awaiting trial,   while the defence maintains he is not guilty due to insanity." "Yesterday, the prosecution's only witness OD'd on crack." "What do you know about this?" "I will not tolerate harassment." "Dead flowers delivered to my door." "My own obituary in the newspaper." "So, it's my client?" "Last time, he said: "If you're not for me, you're against me."" "He's in jail." "Maximum security, for Christ's sake." "He has friends on the outside." "I talk to him daily." "If he was pulling stunts, I'd..." "How would he even know?" "If he has muliple personality disorder   one personality has no idea what the others are doing." "Are you suggesting Max does things he doesn't know?" "It's ridiculous." ""Ridiculous" is the whole basis for your defense, isn't it?" "It's supposed to be blackened shrimp." "What do you think, Kitty?" "You should fix the bathroom heater." "Do you have a screwdriver?" "I take it!" "Being with you... ruining a meal." " Burning down the apartment." " All of that." "There's no place, I'd rather be." " Maybe we should get take-out?" " Why don't we just go out?" "Hi, Henry." "Tony, it's stuck." "You have to push it." "What?" "I don't feel comfortable calling you Dad, I told you that." "Christmas?" "I haven't really thought about it." "I'm not changing my mind." "This just isn't a good time." "Can I call you back?" "I've got company... a friend." "Call me closer to Christmas." "I'll talk to you soon." "Bye, Henry." "Why don't I help you out?" "With the dinner, Christmas." "That's sweet of you." "But you don't want that." " I would love to meet your father." " No, he's a fucking pig." "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that." "He just... suddenly wants a part of me after all this time." "He wasn't there when I was growing up." "Your boyfriend?" "The shit?" "Yes, that's Benny." " I don't know why I still have it up." " Nice car." " Why do you think..." " What?" " Why do you keep the photo?" " Just let it drop, please." "Why do you have to push so hard?" "Like you want to know everything about me." "What do I know about you?" "Nothing." "How do you feel about the person who killed these women?" "Must be sick..." "Very, very sick." "Someone who can't tell the difference between right and wrong." " Can you tell the difference?" " Can I?" "Half the world can't." "It's a western concept." "The Buddhists have a saying:" ""If you meet your master on the road, kill him."" " What does that mean to you?" " That I haven't got any masters." "Goodbye, Max." " Sarah?" " Hi, Doris." "Hang on a second, I've got a parcel for you." " It was by the door." " Did you see who left it?" "No, when I got home from work it was just there." "Thank you." "You should hire a private detective." "This is a case where they can do more." "What?" "It's usually someone you know." "A friend, a co-worker, a boyfriend." "Often a strong warning will back them off." "Why won't you help me?" "Take my advice." "Here's the name of a private detective." " Go home and think it over." " I'm afraid to go home." " You know what that's like?" " I'm sure it's terrible." "No you don't..." "You don't have a fucking clue!" " It's me." " Tony, it's a really bad time now." " Can I call you later." " No, I'm coming up." "What's going on?" " You don't know?" " Know what?" " Somebody killed my cat." " I'm sorry." " Don't..." " What?" "Don't touch me." "Where were you last night?" "I needed you." "I was out of town." "In Boston." "You know that." " No, I don't." " I told you I was going." "What's going on?" " Who is he?" " He's Cliff." " You're Cliff." " Yeah, I'm Clafe." "She said it's a bad time, don't you listen?" " What is this clown doing here?" " Taking care of me, being a friend." " A real close friend." " I am, let's get this straight, okay?" "Ever since you came into Sarah's life..." " Don't do that." " Don't touch you?" "Ever since you came into Sarah's life bad things have happened to her." "Are you out of your mind?" "Get out of my house." " The guy was out of line." " Oh, he was?" " You're very upset." " Yes, someone killed my cat!" " I'm sorry!" " Don't yell at me!" "You think it's me, don't you?" "You think I killed your cat." " No, I don't." " Yes, you do." "I feel awful." "So do I..." "I'm sorry." "I wish you could..." "I wish you could trust me." "This guy, Tony..." "How long have you been dating him?" "About a month." "But I do not think it's him." "I'm not saying so." "We can begin by eliminating him from the list." " This is so crazy." " Well, suspicion is an ugly thing." "But then, so is what's happening to you." "Dating in the nineties..." "Glad I'm out of it." "I'll need $2,000." "It's a retainer." "I'm falling in love, but have to check first that he's not a psychopath." " You're a natural." " What?" "You're a natural." "I'm glad you're on my side." "If you still are..." "What can I say about last night?" " You don't have to say anything." " I'm sorry." "Let's do one more." "I thought you were terrified of guns?" "I got over it." "You're the doctor, so tell me:" "How do we learn to trust?" "How do we learn to trust?" "It's a good question." "We used to have a group exercise   where patients fall backwards and catch each other." " Let's do it." " No, I don't want to do it." " I'll fall and you'll catch me." " You're too big." "You're stronger than you think." "I'm falling, I'm falling." "I can't believe I caught you." "You trusted me." " Your turn." " No, no." "I'm right here." " I don't want to." " Yes, you do." "I'm scared." "Me too." "But that isn't going to stop me." " Do you have to go to Boston tomorrow?" " I do." "But I don't like leaving you here for a day." "Is that true?" " I love you, Sarah." " I love you, Tony." "Your father on line two." " Tell him I'm in a meeting." " It's his third call." "Tell him I'm in a meeting." "Dr Taylor, did Tony say anything about a trip?" "Yes, he's going to Boston to do some business." "He may have a drinking problem." "His Mastercard shows he dropped $700 at a liquor shop in one shot." "I've got to go." "I have to check in." "Bye." "Flight 47 to Boston now boarding at gate A." "Passengers for flight 33 to Albany please report to Gate B." "What the hell?" "All day he searched the library, the newspaper, state records office." "No, I'm in Albany." "Yes, I'm in Albany." "He didn't get on the plane to Boston." " Why didn't he tell me?" " Why?" "Is something wrong?" " I'm from Albany." " No kidding." "He gets on the flight to New York." "I've got to go, it's boarding." "Brace yourself, Sarah." "It seems that he has a wife and a child." "There's a little girl here, about five." "Hi, Sarah." "It's me, Tony." "Where are you?" "I tried you at the office." "I just got back from Boston." "I'm at the airport." "Listen, let's meet at my place." "I can hardly wait to see you." "I really missed you." "Just a second." " Why did you bar the door?" " I was scared." " What took you so long?" " I was calling my service, I was paged." " I can't stay." " What?" "I have to go, it's an emergency." "No." "No?" "I won't let you." "I'm just kidding." "It was attempted homicide   and I'm not just talking about your friend." "We saw your heater." "The screws were tampered with." "I think you'd better talk with..." "with Tony Ramirez." " Take care, Dr Taylor." " Thank you." " I was worried about you." " That gives you the right to break in?" "I don't think so." " What are you doing?" " Calling the police." "Give me the phone, Sarah." "Don't do that..." "Not yet." "We have to talk." "Why are you doing this to me?" "It's over, Sarah." "It's over." "Please don't kill me." "Get away from your purse." "Don't touch the gun." "Don't fucking move!" "I've seen the file, Tony." "I know you've been stalking me right from the beginning." " It wasn't me." " Then why can't I call the police?" "Go ahead." "Call the police." " Why did you do that?" " Why did you go to New York?" "Who was that woman?" " You want the truth?" " Yes." "The woman is my cousin." "She's also Benny's sister." " What does Benny have to do with this?" " The family wants to know where he is." "I was sent here to investigate you." "All this time, it was about my ex-boyfriend?" "We want to know what happened to him." "You talked about trust!" "I was falling in love with you." " I am in love with you!" " I don't believe you." "You've got to believe me." " You want to see something?" " No, I don't." "I put a camera in your hallway, just to find out who it was." "Come here." "It's you, Sarah." "You've been stalking yourself." " It's a lie." " You need help." "This is a fucking lie." "Angel?" "Angel." " I won't let you leave." " You'll never touch that child again." "Don't do this, Alison." "Don't make me angry." "Sweet Jesus, what'll they do to me?" "Mama was bad and got Dad in trouble." "You have to help Dad and pull the trigger." "Do as you're told." "One, two, three." "All right..." "Daddy will help you." "My Mummy is dead." "She's all gone." " It was an accident." " Yes, it was an accident." "A terrible thing." "She was just a child, so we never talked about it." "It wasn't an accident, was it?" "You put the gun in my hand." " What are you saying?" " She doesn't know what she's saying." "You think I don't remember?" "What you did to me every night." "You think I don't remember the sound of your shoes   coming into my bedroom every night?" "Why they took me away from you." "Why my aunt would never let me see you." "You fooled everybody." "You never fooled me." "Sarah, give me the gun." "Here's my gun." "I'll take it and put it down." "All right?" "I want you to do the same thing." "You don't want to shoot me, right?" "Do you want to kill me?" "Give me the gun." "Trust me." "Fucker!" "Now you know what happened to Benny if you're so fucking interested." "He was a worthless piece of shit, like you." "Like all men." "Like all men!" "Like all men!" "Like all men!" "It's all right, Sarah." "We can deal with this." "Fuck!" "Look what you've done and I'll have to cover for you again!" "I'm sick of it!" "I'm sorry." "Help me." "It wasn't your fault." "We'll tell them it wasn't your fault." "You're right..." "It was never my fault." "Please." "I know what I did to you." "Do you believe in justice?" "Please..." "It never happened." "It never happened like that." "It never happened." "You won't remember any of this." "All right, Sarah." "It's going to be all right." "It was self-defense." ""Tony Ramirez shot my father, then turned his gun towards me, " " I fired once." "Next thing I remember, I was standing over him with a gun   and Detective Spatz entered." "I'm not sure how much time passed   but it wasn't more than a few minutes."" "Okay, Sarah,   sign the bottom of your statement, please." "Can you imagine seeing your father blown away right in front of you?" " Does she have to stand trial." " I can't imagine." "Multiple personality disorder cannot easily be faked." "Witness the case of recently convicted serial killer Max Cheski,   who tried to use it in his defense." "Multiple personalities can always be traced back to childhood trauma   and often violent sexual abuse." "Subconsciously, the child creates other personalites to share the burden." "The literally unbearable burden of shame   underlying the repressed memory of the childhood events." "These personalities often turn against their creator, inflicting bodily harm." "I wasn't expecting you so early." " When's the movie?" " Eight." "Let's go." " How's your lecture coming?" " Good." " You'll be okay?" " I think so." "It's a very interesting disorder." " I've never addressed a big convention." " They'll love you." "It's so good to have your old self back." "Thank you."
