"Freud believed that dreams were the pathway to the soul." "In dreams, social mores don't exist." "They can't prevent you from acting on your desires." "According to Freud's book, The Interpretation of Dreams..." "Uncle Ray." "Christie, but..." "What are you doing?" "Stop." "Talk to me." "You brought this on yourself because of what you did." " You don't really want this." " You're wrong." "The only thing I want is this." "But Freud's theory lost popularity at the beginning of the 1960s." "Analysts began to think that dreams were little more than a series of random thoughts." "But recently, there has been a resurgence of Freud's theory that dreams represent much more." " It's been 4 weeks." " That long?" "Yeah." "Has she contacted you before this?" "No." "We're just as surprised as you are that she called us." "Well, when you see her, tell her we'd like to hear from her." " Okay." " Thanks a lot." "Yeah, all right, Francine." " We'll be in touch." " Love to Doug." " Take care." " We will." " Bye." " Bye-bye." "That was Christie's mom?" " What are you doing?" " What?" "We're eating in a few minutes." "Sorry." "Yeah, apparently, she had no idea that Christie was gonna call us." "They haven't spoken in the month since Christie moved here." "I guess she never calls her mom back." "I got the sense she didn't like her step-dad so much." " Yeah." " Mm." "Needs pepper." "It's right there." "The poor girl has been through so much." "It's amazing she got into Westvale, you know." "That's not easy to do." "No, Christie's smart." "That's for sure." "Ah, Haley?" "Don't make any calls right now." "Your mother's about to put dinner on the table." "I'm not hungry." "Since when is it okay for a 13-year-old to ignore her father?" "You must be Christie." "And that makes you Selene." "The one and only." "After 4 months of chatting with you online," "I can't believe I'm actually meeting you in person." "It's almost... surreal." "New ID and bank card with money for expenses." "All under your new name." "Jennifer Janes." "I called the motel and made a reservation." "The address is in there." " How did you get all this?" " Internet." "I got the social of a girl who drowned when she was 9." "She'd be your age if she'd lived." "All you need is a social." "I gotta hand it to you." "You're pretty good at planning' this stuff." "Jennifer Janes." "I like it." "I look like a Jennifer, don't you think?" "Look." "I gotta go." "You didn't tell anyone why you were really coming out here, right?" "I mean you said what I told you to say, that your aunt was dying?" "Come on." "I know what I'm doing." "Don't worry." "I didn't tell anyone about you or the plan." "So tomorrow, go ahead and book the appointment." "The number's in there." "And remember:" "Pay phones and cyber cafes only." "I wrote the address of the closest one." "It's in there too." "I'll message you as soon as I make the appointment." "Good." "I'll be on chat all day." "Any questions?" "Nope." "I love making money." "This is gonna be fun." "Here you go." "Merry Christmas, honey." "Dad, I love it." "I bought it before I found out your mom and step-dad had bought you one too." "I like this one so much more." "Thank you." "Someone has to make things right." "So I don't see any problem at all." "We can definitely implement these changes in the east wing and keep it under budget." "Absolutely." "And we've already discussed the west wing." " So, we'll be in touch." " Nice to see you." " Great work." "Thank you." " Thank you." "I knew we could make the renovations he wanted and still maintain the integrity of the building." "Yeah, and this place will look fantastic when we're done." "So how are things with Haley?" "Any better?" "Ah, no." "If she's not angry about one thing it's something else." "And then, when we ask her about it, she says we don't understand." "Well, that's typical at her age." "I think she smiled once in the last week." "When we told her that Ray's niece Christie was coming to dinner." "That she got halfway excited about." "The cooler older cousin, huh?" "Well, maybe Haley will have someone to relate to." "The good news is, they do grow out of the "I hate you and everything is stupid" phase." " Just give it a couple years." " A couple of years?" "God help us all." "Five more minutes, everyone." "Yeah, I'm here." "She's here!" "Christie..." " Hey, Aunt Miranda." "Hi." " Hi." " These are for you." " How thoughtful." "Christie!" "Hi!" "It's good to see you." " Let me take that coat." " Oh." "Haley!" "Your cousin's here." " Hey, Christie." " Wow!" "God, you've really grown up since the last time I saw you." "Hey!" "Dinner's almost ready." "Want to come in the kitchen while I finish up?" "Yeah, sure." "I can't tell you how excited I was when I got accepted." "I know, it's just my first semester, but so far things have been great." " Haley?" " Ah no, thanks." "Christie, I spoke with your mother." "She said you two haven't been very close lately." "Mom and I don't see eye to eye on a lot of things." "She wanted me to stay in Baltimore, but dad always wanted me to come back to Philadelphia to go to school." "I'm sure they both just wanted what's best for you." "Most parents do, right?" "Mom doesn't really understand." "I needed to come back here to sort of put things behind me." "It was really hard when I lost dad." "You know, you wonder how much pain someone must be in to... to want to leave you like that." "At first, I just felt abandoned by him." "Oh, honey, that's natural." "You know, when something like that happens, people tend to feel very angry." "Not with me." "I didn't feel anger at all." "I realized right away that his suicide" " had nothing to do with me." " You're right." "Christie, there was nothing that you could have done." "I'm sorry." "Would you excuse me?" "I think I need a moment." "The bathroom?" " It's right down the hall." " Thanks." "See?" "Her mom doesn't understand either." "Haley, it's different." "Dad, I'm home!" "Rehearsal got cancelled." "The drama teacher was sick." "Dad?" "No!" "Dad, why?" "Why, Dad?" "You can do this." "I miss you, Dad." "I'm sorry." "I just wanted you to know that I really appreciate you guys inviting me for dinner." "We're so happy you called, sweetie." "So, Haley, was that your MP3 player in the hallway?" " Oh, yeah." " I wasn't trying to be nosey." "I just noticed it's got the new Hardwire single on it." "It's my favorite song right now." " It is?" " Yeah." "Hardwire's this west coast band." "It's got this cool blend of like, hip-hop and top 40s." " Don't you think?" " Yeah, totally." "I did a review of the album actually for my school newspaper." " Really?" " Yeah..." "Great." "Thanks for the leftovers." "I can't use the kitchen where I'm staying, so I usually eat cold cereal every night." "Can't use the kitchen?" "Why is that?" "Oh, I'm renting a room in this guy's house but it's so filthy." "And it's loud, and he has people over all the time." "But I just try to stay in my room and block out the noise and study." "Honey, why don't you find someplace else?" "Oh, I'd move in a minute if I could, but it's really expensive up here." "And student housing messed up and didn't assign me a dorm." "Anyway... it's okay." "I'm a big girl." "I can handle it." " Here." " Thank you." "Christie, you can have this." "They made extra copies 'cause my review got published." "Wow." "Thanks, Haley." " It's awesome you got the front page." " Yeah." "Guys, thanks again for having me for dinner." "Any time." "We hope to see more of you." "As for you..." "We have to start homework." "Christie, do you mind my asking?" "How much are you paying for that room?" "250 a month." "I'll call you tomorrow." "See if we can't work something out." "Okay." "Thanks." " Thank you." " You're welcome." "Bye." "I'm sure you will, Uncle Ray." "I'm sure you will." "Well, we could just pay the difference so she could get a nicer place." "Or, I don't know, we could invite Christie to move in here for a couple semesters." "In here?" "You think she'd want to?" "I don't know, but you know, it would help her to save money and it would certainly be a nicer environment than the one that she's in." "Honestly, I think it would be nice for Haley to have someone like Christie to talk to." "That was fast." " Hello?" " Hey, Christie." "It's Uncle Ray." " Hi, Uncle Ray." " We've got any idea." " Why don't you move in with us?" " Really?" " Sure!" " That's so generous." "Yes!" "Yeah!" " Of course." "Thank you." " Tomorrow, then?" " Tomorrow." "Okay." " We'll expect you for dinner." "Looking forward to it." "See you soon!" "Good night." "I hope you enjoyed your perfect life, Uncle Ray." "It's all about to change." "Jennifer Janes?" "Hi." "Right this way." "Mom, I'm just saying you could have consulted me." "Haley..." "You seemed to really like her last night at dinner." "Hanging out with her is different than living with her." "Well, I'm sorry." "I guess I should have asked you first, but I honestly didn't think that you would mind." "I mind, Mom." "Okay." "I tell you what." "Let's all just go into this with a good attitude for one semester." "Okay?" "Is that something that you could do?" "All right." "Yes, like I said, everything looked fine in the examination but of course it'll be a couple of weeks before we get the test results back." "Oh!" "And you wanted a prescription for an oral contraceptive." " Am I right?" " Right." "Doctor, Mrs. Walsh is ready in room 3." "Thanks, Renée." "Tell her I'll be in there in a few minutes." "Okay." "Hello?" "It's me." "I just finished." "I'm at a pay phone a block away." " How'd it go?" " More fun than Disneyland." "You talked to him alone?" "No." "The stupid nurse was with us during the entire exam." "But I had some time in his office afterward when he was giving me the prescription." "Good." "I'm moving in to their house this evening, so I'll message you later." "Great." "Bye." "Hey, Haley." "Looks like we're gonna be housemates." " It's gonna be great." " Yeah." "Wow." "This is great." "I wouldn't change a thing." "Thank you so much." "I really appreciate you and Uncle Ray letting me stay here." "Oh, Christie, it's our pleasure." "Haley!" "Hurry up!" "We were late for last week's lesson." " Yeah, okay." " Do you have your music?" "Yeah." "Yeah, let's go." "Perfect." "She got his credit card number." "God, she is good." "Par-fyum Restaurant..." "Tuesday... 8pm." "I know what to do." " Look at that kitten." " Oh, no, Miranda." "No cats." " Morning." " Christie!" "Hey!" " Good morning, Christie." " Mm." "I gotta get outta here." "I've got 3 interviews before patients start coming at 9." " Uncle Ray?" " Yep?" "Miranda mentioned yesterday you were looking for a receptionist." " Maybe I could help." " Really?" "I mean, I had work-study my senior year of high school in the admin office." "And I have a few mornings and afternoons free this semester." "And well, I wouldn't mind a few extra dollars to help support my caramel latte habit." " Well, why not, huh?" " Yeah." " Sure." " Great!" "Could I come by this afternoon to see the office?" "Yes." "I will tell my head nurse Renée that you'll be in this afternoon." " Now I've really got to go." " Bye." " Mmm." "Again." "Mm." " Mm." "Have a good day." " Thanks." "See you later." " Bye." "Miranda, is Haley okay with me staying here?" "I kinda got the feeling that she might not be." "Ah, well, she's been remote lately." "Antagonistic." "But she's that way about everything these days." "She rarely even talks to us." "Yeah, I picked up on that the other night at dinner." "She doesn't understand why she can't have the freedom to make all her own choices yet." "But obviously, she's not ready for that." " Exactly." " Yeah." "Not ready?" "So that's why you invited her to live with us." "So you could sit around and talk about me behind my back?" "Haley..." "One dinner, and suddenly you know everything about me?" "No." "No, it's not like that." "Whatever!" "You know what?" "I shouldn't even have trusted you!" "Christie, it's not about you." "This is exactly what I was talking about." "Great!" "Just keep talking about me, why don't you?" "I'm sick of living with a family of backstabbers!" "She'll be okay." "So the kitchen's over there." "And there is a cappuccino machine." "This is where we keep the old patient files." "The medical supplies are there..." "Gloves, disposable gowns..." "that sort of thing." "Drugs and controlled substances are up there." "I don't know if there's anything else." "Thank you." "Oh!" "The office supplies!" "They're in the copy room." "Come on." "I'll show you." "Okay?" "It's not like you don't have the money." "You just won't give it to me." "Ray, come on!" "If I don't come up with Christie's tuition, they're gonna kick her out next semester." "It's the same old thing, Richard, all the time." "Just five thousand!" "My interview went well today." "I'll probably be able to pay you back in a few months." "I heard that one before." "Oh, come on!" "That's nothing for you!" "That's like two days of work." "I just can't do it again, Richard." "I don't know what else to do, Ray!" "You're the only one I know who has that kind of cash!" " I'm sorry." " Fine!" "Thanks for nothing!" "Can I have a glass of red wine, please?" "Yeah, sure." "It's just not gonna be feasible." "Look, Dan..." "I agree with you." "But I'm telling you, when the new laws go into effect, it's gonna change the quality of research we do in the next five years." "I don't know, you know?" "Well, anyway..." "Well, I think that we got a lot done here tonight." " Yeah." " It was your money well spent, huh?" "Showtime." " Good night guys." " Good night." "See you next week." " Dr. Colton?" " Yeah." "Jessie." "No." "No, no, wait." " Jennifer, right?" " Yeah." " Yeah, you were in my office last week." " Mm-hm." "Sid, look, I'll catch up with you tomorrow, okay?" "Okay." "So, what a coincidence." "You must've heard this was a good place, too." "Well, actually, a friend suggested that we meet here, but he hasn't showed up yet." "Mm, I see." "Well, I recommend the calamari." "Thank you, Doctor." "I'll be sure to try it." "Okay." "Good night." "Man." " Information." " Yeah, I need a number." "The auto club emergency service." "Well, obviously, Dr. Colton isn't gonna change his own tire." " Hello?" " Honey, it's me." "I'm still at the restaurant." "I'm with Ray Colton." "I believe he just called you about changing a tire?" "Right, we talked a few minutes ago." "Yeah, I thought so." "Anyway, you can cancel that." "There's someone here who's gonna help us with it right now." "Yeah, I'll call you when they get here." "Okay, bye." "Flat tire." "I'm waiting for the auto club." "Can I get a coffee please?" "Yes, sir." "Your friend still hasn't shown up?" "Not yet." "He's not answering his cell phone, so I figured I'd just wait another 15 minutes." "Well, they said it would be 15 minutes for the tire, too." "So..." "I guess we'll see who shows up first, huh?" "Yeah, well, the new insurance won't kick in for another month, so I have to wait to get that prescription filled." "Well, I tell you what." "I've got samples in my office." "If you can come get them," "I can give you a couple months' worth." "That should hold you over till your insurance kicks in." "That'd be great." "Thanks." "Well, you're welcome." "Oh." "Excuse me a sec." "Hello?" " Did he call the auto club again?" " Well..." "Yes, I'm at the restaurant right now." "Good." "We're all set, so walk out whenever you want." " I'm going home before he does." " All right." "Bye." "Yeah, you said you'd be here in 15 minutes." " That was half an hour ago." " Sorry, sir." "We're on our way." "All right." "Okay." "I'll be here." "I'm not going anywhere." " Are they coming to fix it?" " Well, they are now." "There was some kind of mix up." "I don't know; they thought I called and cancelled." "Anyway, they said they'd be here in about 20 minutes." "That was my friend flaking on dinner." "I guess I'll just go home." "Aw, that's too bad." "Bartender, would you bring me the check, please?" "And put hers on my tab." " Coming right up, sir." " Thanks." " Windy, huh?" " Mm-hm." " Is this you?" " Yeah, this is me." "All right." "All right." "Well, thanks for the drink." "And I'll come by the office tomorrow to pick up the samples." "All right." "Listen, you drive safely, okay?" " I will." "Good night." " Good night." "And then he said he wants me to hear his brother's band." " So he asked you out?" " Yeah!" "Can you believe it?" " And then what happened?" " He played some of their songs on his iPod..." " Tina, I'm gonna call you back." " Okay." " Okay." "Bye." " Bye." "Hey." "These are for you." " An apology gift." " Thanks." "I think we got off on the wrong foot." "Listen, Haley, you were right." "I shouldn't have talked about you to your mom." "And it won't happen again." "Can we still be friends?" "Yeah." "Okay." "Stupid." "She's such a goody two-shoes trying to, like, be my best friend right after talking about me behind my back." "She sounds really creepy." " She bought me two new CDs, too." " Oh, that's weird." " I know!" " I hate people like that." " I hate people like that, too." " Ugh!" " Christie." " He needed your help." "You should have given him the money!" "Oh my God, it's late." "No class today." "Hmm." "I like that one." "How romantic." "Let's enter his credit card." "Must be nice to live like this." "One of your stupid shirts costs more than my dad's entire wardrobe." "God, you make me sick." "You are sooo busted." "Excuse me." "Hi, can I help you?" "I'm here to see Dr. Colton." "My name is Jennifer." "Do you have an appointment?" "He's expecting me." "Sure." "Come in." "Ah, Jennifer, hi." "I've got you a couple months' worth." "Pills are nice but... it's not exactly why I came." "I'm sorry." "I don't follow." "Well, let me spell it out for you." "You're a very successful doctor." "You make a lot of money." "I want 50,000." "Excuse me?" "You are going to give me $50,000." "And if you don't, I'm gonna tell everyone that you tried to force me to have sex with you last night." "You can't be serious." "I was a patient." "I overheard from one of your nurses there might be an opening for a receptionist position." "When I asked you about it, you suggested we meet for drinks at Parfyum for an informal interview." "Oh, that's ridiculous." "You called me into your office after my exam." "You told me exactly where and when to meet you." "A lot of people saw us having drinks." "You even picked up the tab." "The bartender saw us leaving together." "You walked me to my car." "And you told me the job was mine, just so long as I would prove to you how badly I wanted it." "Jennifer..." "Honey, nobody is gonna believe that story." "Okay?" "Not in a million years." "So take your samples and get out of my office." "I think they will." "After all, you did send me flowers this morning to apologize for your despicable behavior." " They must be on your credit card." " How in the world..." "Oh, it's incredibly easy to get credit card information these days." "Oh, and then, you made up this silly story about pill samples so you could get me in here to tell me in person how bad you feel." "Get the hell out of my office." "Listen." "Talk to your insurance company." "Trust me." "They'll settle." "Then I'll go away and everything will go back to normal." "You're not bilking me or my insurance company because I'm gonna tell them exactly what you're up to." "Bad idea." "You have one week to come up with the money." "Otherwise, my story goes public." "And your career goes down the toilet." "A sex scandal certainly wouldn't look good for the vice president of the Medical Association of Philadelphia." " Oh!" "I'm sorry." " No, it's all right, Renée." "Jennifer was just leaving." "This is not okay..." "Doctor." "Is everything all right?" "What?" "Yes." "Thanks." "I can't believe what you told me about this woman." "Miranda, it's insane." "So, what are we gonna do?" "Quite often the insurance company will choose to settle just to save the legal fees." "She wants 50, they'll offer 30." "Save themselves the 40 grand it would cost to prove she's lying." "Settle?" "But she'll just go out and blackmail somebody else." " Probably." " But that's ludicrous." "You really want to encourage that kind of behavior?" "What she's doing is a crime!" "She needs to be stopped!" "Believe me, you don't want to go to court for something like this." "These "he said, she said" cases are hard to prove." "I've seen it ruin people's careers, even when they win." "Listen." "I'm your lawyer and I'm your friend." "My job isn't to save the world." "It's to make sure you come out of this with as few scratches as possible." "But what if they don't pay?" "I mean there's no chance of that, right?" "She is his patient." "Well, I'm not so sure." "I put in a call to their legal department, but because she's claiming it happened in public, they may deny covering it." "So what are you saying?" "If they don't pay, I should?" "Let's not get ahead of ourselves." "We don't know what the insurance company is going to do yet." "This is so unbelievable." "She even bought herself flowers and charged it to my credit card." "Like she said, it's not hard to find a credit card number." "I should never have sat there with her, you know?" "I mean, she was alone, her date didn't show up," "I was trying to be nice." "Sweetie, there's no way you could have known." "Listen." "I know you're worried, but I'll help you through this." "We'll start with the insurance company." "Miranda, this is delicious." "Thank you." "So, did you find what you needed?" "What I needed?" "You know, what you were looking for?" "No, Haley, I don't know what you're talking about." "When you were in my mom and dad's bedroom." "In our room?" "Yeah, she didn't know I didn't go to school today." "I saw her coming out of your bedroom." "What were you doing in there?" " Haley." " No, no." "It's okay." "I was in your bedroom this morning." "Why, Christie?" "I went in there because I wanted to know what size shirt Uncle Ray wears." "Your birthday is coming up and I really wanted to get you something special, you know, to thank you for letting me stay here and everything." "It was supposed to be a surprise." "Would you excuse me?" "I'm not really hungry anymore." "Of course, Christie." "I think I'll go study at the library tonight." "Thank you." "Are you happy with yourself?" "She was trying to do something thoughtful and you made her feel terrible." "Mom, I am telling you." "There is something weird about her." " Haley, stop it." " No, Dad." "I'm serious." "I don't believe for one second she wanted to get you a gift." "Look, I know you're still upset about overhearing the conversation about you, but she did not betray you, and she doesn't deserve what you're doing to her." "You know what would be great?" "If once, before I die, you actually believe me and what I have to say." "When it rains, it pours." "So the insurance company hasn't given Dominick an answer yet?" "He thought they'd have made a decision by now." "I know what he thought." "Miranda, I was there, remember?" "I'm not the enemy, Ray." "Yeah, but you keep asking me." "You know, I mean, you..." "you don't think this is on my mind every second of every day?" "Come here." "Wait a minute." "You're right." "I shouldn't be taking this out on you." "I'm sorry." "It's okay." "Hi." "Hey." "Oh!" "Uh, Christie, I wanted to remember to tell you, tonight Ray teaches his class and Haley's gonna be at a friend's house, and I actually have a business meeting." "So I thought I'd just put some pasta or something in the refrigerator for you for dinner." "Oh, thanks." "But don't go to any trouble." "I actually have a date." "Oh!" "Well, I just wanted to make sure you were okay." "Thanks." "I'm not the one you need to worry about." "Everything's going according to plan." "The guy's a stress case." "So, the good news is we'll get our money one way or another." "He wants this to be over." "Oh, that's terrific." "I knew he would." " Yeah..." " Girl, you should be doing cartwheels." " This is the easiest payday you've ever had." " You're right." "And I know just the way to celebrate." "I got invited to a party tonight and you can be my guest." "Ooh, tell me more." "A private party." "Rich men, free booze." " Wealthy men?" "Count me in." " Good." "Meet me there at 8:30." "Enter through the back." "I'll give you directions." "You should write it down." "Going to lunch?" "Yeah, Dr. Colton asked me to pick something up for him." "You know, he seems to have a lot on his mind these days, huh?" " Yeah." " Listen, I'll see you later, okay?" " Bye!" " Bye-bye." "Hey, I need those files." "Okay, sure thing, Doctor." "What more information do they need?" "I'm not understanding here." "Why can't they just give us an answer one way or the other?" "It's not that simple." "You know nothing ever happens quickly when it comes to insurance companies." "Yeah." "I know." "I'm just frustrated." " I'll call them again tomorrow." " In the morning?" " Yeah." "First thing." " Thanks." "All right." "Bye." "Come in." " Here you go." " Thanks." "I'm about to take off." "Do you need anything else?" " Do you want me to make you a latte?" " No, no." "I'll get a coffee when I get to campus." "Uncle Ray?" "Is everything okay with you?" "Is something really bad going on?" "Truthfully?" "Yeah." "Something pretty bad." "Do you want to talk about it?" "No." "There's no reason to involve you." "I appreciate your concern." "Okay." "Good night." "Good night, honey." "I guess this is it." "Where the hell is this party?" "I'm sorry, Selene." "I liked you." "If it wasn't for Ray, none of this would be happening." "You thought this was about money." "But it's about something much more important than that." "Thank you." "Hey, get this." "The driver's license is fake." "Jennifer Janes isn't her real name." "The address didn't check out either." "How long before we know if her prints are on file?" "I don't know." "Couple hours." "That prescription that we found in her purse..." "The one that she didn't get filled, for birth control pills?" "Yeah, who's the M.D. on that?" "Dr. Ray Colton." "2114 Skylar, Suite 600." " 2114?" " Mm-hmm." "I think I'll head over there." "See if they have anything else on her in their patient files." "I'll get Forensics to speed things up." "Morning, guys." "Hey." "Did you enjoy your big night?" " Huh?" " This one." "Your date." "How was it?" "Oh!" "It was okay." "We had a nice dinner." "Oh." "Where'd you go?" "The Harbor House." "Oh, it's supposed to be great." "Yeah." "Well, better get to class." "Bye." "Bye." " Did you finish?" " I gotta go." "Oh." "Good luck on the test." "Love you." "Love you too, Mom." "The doctor isn't in yet and I don't have the authority to let you look at confidential patient files." "I could give him a call if you'd like." "Well, that'd be great." "Thanks." "Sure." " Dr. Colton." "Good morning." " Morning." " Dr. Colton?" " Yes." "Detective John Hogues, Philadelphia Metro Homicide Division." " Homicide?" " Yeah." "We believe the body of this woman we found this morning is one of your patients." "I was hoping we could glance through her patient file." "We found a prescription signed by you in her purse." "Oh my God!" "That's terrible." "Of course you can see her files." " Who was she?" " Jennifer Janes." "She was a patient of yours." "The prescription was very recent." "Yes." "Yes." "Renée?" "Yes?" "Detective Hogues would like to see" "Jennifer Janes' patient file." "Of course." "That should only take a couple of minutes." "Thanks." "Appreciate your cooperation." "You're welcome." " Dominick, it's Ray." " Ray." "I put in a call to the insurance company already this morning." "No, Dom, a detective was just here." " That girl was found murdered." " What?" "I don't know any of the details." "He wanted to see her patient file." " Did you say anything that..." " No!" "Nothing." "I didn't know what to say." "That's why I'm calling you." "Listen." "Don't leave it to them to find out she was blackmailing you." "We need to go in there this afternoon." "So, guess what I found in her hotel room." "Flowers." "Roses." "With an apology card." "Apology card from whom?" "Guess." "The good ole doctor." "Oh." "Now that's interesting." "I just got off the phone about half an hour ago with the good doctor's high-priced lawyer." "Seems they want to come in and talk." "Oh my God, Ray!" "This is unbelievable." "You're telling me." "Do you want me to go to the police station with you?" "No, that won't be necessary." "Oh." "Well, it's good Dom will be there." "Yeah, we'll handle it." "Don't worry." "All right." " You call me as soon as you're done?" " Yeah." "Love you." " Yeah, I love you, too." " Bye now." "So..." "Selene Halverston." "That was her real name, by the way." "She arranged this whole thing:" "the flowers, the bumping into you at the restaurant." "All of this so she could blackmail you?" "Yes." "She was a professional." "Obviously, she had done this kind of thing many times before." "She even told me not to worry, that the insurance company would pay." "But they weren't going to?" "We never said that." "I was still in the process of working on it last night." "But it didn't look good?" "Like I said, we were negotiating." " Where'd you go last night after class let out?" " I went home." "What time did you get there?" "I don't know." "About nine." "Is there anyone at the house that can confirm that?" "No." "My daughter was at a friend's, my niece I think was on a date, and my wife was at a business meeting." "It's a bit of a coincidence, don't you think?" "I mean the woman that's blackmailing you is murdered four blocks from where you were just after you get out of class, and nobody knows what time you got home." "Yes, I do think." "That's exactly what it was:" "a coincidence." "If you think Dr. Colton could be a suspect in this case, you're barking up the wrong tree." "There were probably lots of people who wanted to see this young woman dead." "Doctor, why did you come in today to give us a statement?" "Because I wanted you to hear it from me." "Exactly what this young woman was up to." "Well, doctor... you don't fit the profile of a..." "of a criminal, but we wouldn't be doing our jobs if we didn't explore every possibility." "I understand that, Detective." "But I didn't kill her." " Metro." " Hi." "Yes." "I have some information on an article you ran today." " Okay." " But I'd like to stay anonymous." "No problem." "What is it?" "About the woman found dead near the university." "Go on." "The prime suspect in the case is Dr. Ray Colton." "His office is on Skylar." "That's all I can tell you." "Yeah, thanks for the tip." "Because of my connection with Selene," "I kept getting the feeling that I'm their main suspect." "Well, I'm sure they just have to look at anyone she could have possibly been involved with, and once they get more information, you'll be cleared." "No, it's worse than that, Miranda." "If a word of this even leaks out, I'll be ruined." "What did the police say?" "They'd be in touch." "Oh, Christie, we didn't hear you come in." "Sorry to interrupt." "I'll get it." "Hello?" "Carmen Simms, Star News, calling for Dr. Colton." "Hang on." "It's Carmen Simms from the Philadelphia Star News." "What does she want?" "Just to talk." "No." "I'm not available." " Okay." " Thanks." "Sorry, he's unavailable right now." "See what I mean, Miranda?" "This is gonna get bad." "Really, really bad." "Okay." "Well, hopefully, she'll move out by winter break." "If I'm lucky." "Oh, by the way, she had a date last night at the place your brother works." "I wonder if he saw her there." "Todd doesn't have a job right now." "I thought he worked at the Harbor House." "Uh, no, not since it closed down like a month ago." "Closed down?" "Guess little Miss Christie didn't want you to know where she was." "So they're gonna go with the story?" "I'm afraid so." "Dom, is there any way to keep my name out of it?" "Hang on a sec." "Sure." "I'll hold." "You gonna be here for dinner?" "No, I'm going to my study group tonight." " Hello?" " Christie?" "Josh, look, now is not a good time." "Hang on." " Where are you?" " Just wait a minute!" "Listen, I appreciate the call, but I'm fine." " Are you sure?" " No, really, I'm fine." "Are you still having those feelings of rage?" "Listen to me, Josh." "I am controlling my anger and I don't need your help." "No!" "No, I don't want to talk about my uncle again, okay?" "I wasted enough time doing that in Baltimore!" "I have to go." "Merry Christmas, honey." "Oh, Dad." "I like this one so much more." "Thank you." "It's almost done, Dad." " Night, Dad." " Good night, honey." "Mom..." "I didn't want to say anything in front of Dad, but I need to talk to you." "It's important." "About Christie." "Haley, what now?" "First, she lied to us about where she was." "She didn't go to the Harbor House on her date, because it's closed." "Haley..." "Okay, maybe she did lie." "Maybe she's got a perfectly good reason why she doesn't want us to know where she went for dinner." "It's really none of our business." "It gets weirder." "Tonight, I heard her yelling on the phone to some guy named Josh." "She told him that she was controlling her anger." "She also said that she didn't want to talk about Dad." "She didn't want to talk about your father?" "Yes." "She told him she'd wasted enough time doing that in Baltimore." "What do you think that means?" "Are you sure that's what she said?" "Positive." "Look, I know you don't want to believe me, but nothing has been the same since she moved in." "Mom, you've got to trust me." "Please?" "I'll think about it, okay?" "Okay." "Thank you for telling me." "She said that she was controlling her anger." "She also said that she didn't want to talk about Dad." "So what did her mom say when you talked to her?" "Oh, just that Christie kept to herself when she moved in with them and that this guy Josh seemed to be the only person that she would relate to." "She met him at some support group she used to go to." "Why do you think he'd bring up Ray?" "You know, I don't know." "And that's what bothers me the most." "I wonder if there's some connection between" "Christie controlling her anger and Ray." "So what are you gonna do?" "Francine gave me the phone number where she thinks" "I can reach this guy, but I haven't called yet." "I don't want it getting back to Christie that I'm checking up on her." "I know you're trying to do the right thing, but what if Haley's right?" "I mean, it does seem strange." "I agree." "Maybe I'll call him." " It can't hurt." " Yeah." "Excuse me." " Research." " May I please speak to Josh?" "This is Josh." "Do you remember a girl named Christie Colton?" "Well, of course, I remember Christie." "I spoke to her yesterday." "I'm her Aunt Miranda." " Miranda Colton?" " Yes." "Your husband was Richard's brother?" "Yes." "I need to ask you some questions." "Well, now is not a good time but," "I do think we need to talk." "Shall I call you back later?" "No." "I mean in person." " Hello?" " Hey, Janet." "It's Miranda." " Hey." " You were right about calling Josh." "In fact, I'm on my way to Baltimore now." "Would you mind sending those drawings in for me?" " The revised set?" " Yeah." " Sure, no problem." " Great." "Thanks." " Call me." " Yeah, I'll call you later." "Christie joined the support group right after she moved to Baltimore." "A group for people who have lost their parents." "Yes." "Mine were killed in a car crash five years ago." " Oh, I'm sorry." " Thank you." "She was very angry about having to live with her mom and step-dad, and I felt sorry for her." "We sort of became close." " You dated?" " No." "I don't think Christie would ever let anyone get that intimate with her." "I always felt that her father's suicide had more of an impact than anyone ever realized." "Anyway, I did what I could to help her, but I don't think I accomplished much." "Towards the end, before she went back to Philadelphia, she didn't want to have much to do with me or the group itself." "All she wanted to do was chat on the internet with some girl." "A girl?" "Who?" "She mentioned her name once when we sort of fought about it, but I don't remember." "I gotta admit." "I was shocked when you called and said Christie was staying with you." "Why?" "She hated your husband." "She opened up to me one night and told me how he was to blame for everything that ever happened with her father." "She blamed Ray?" "I told her she needed to work through it." "But honestly, with the rage she had..." "I didn't think it would ever be possible." "Oh, my God." "Her hostility just... took over, and I couldn't get through to her." "I'm sorry." "I have to go." "Mrs. Colton?" "Thank you." " So who we got?" " Mrs. Henderson." "We're running behind, aren't we?" " About half an hour." " Ah, great." " Better go on in." "I'll take this." " Okay." "Hi, honey." "Hey, do you have a minute?" "Sorry." "No, really I don't." "I was talking to Dominick for half an hour." "I'm really backed up with my patients." " Oh..." " Is it something important?" "No, it's okay." "We can we can talk when I get home." "Okay." "Great." "I'll see you then." "Look, I'm sorry." "We're just crazy today." "Thanks for understanding, honey." " It's okay." " Bye." "Hey." "Do you wanna grab a drink?" "Oh, no thanks." "I told my Uncle I'd stay and finish up the filing." "He seemed really stressed." "Oh, you can say that again." "It seems to get worse every day, huh?" "Well, I guess it's just you guys then." "I think I'm gonna go home and take a nice warm bath." " I'll see you tomorrow, okay?" " Mm-hmm." " Bye." " Bye." "No, I don't like to let those symptoms go." "Why don't you come in tomorrow morning and we will fit you in..." "after the first appointment." " Okay, that's perfect." " All right." " Good night." " See you then." "Good night." "Thought you could use a latte, since it looks like you're gonna be here for a while." "Oh, thank you." "All I have to do is get through this stack and I'm gonna call it a night." "By the way, Renée left a whole list of refills that need to be approved and a few phone messages that looked pretty important." "Oh, great." "Okay, well, bring me the calls and... pull the files for the refills, okay?" " Okay." "Sure." " Thank you." "The drug should be kicking in about now." "Sorry about the wait." " Had to answer a call." " Oh..." "Are you okay?" "Yeah, I guess I'm just more tired than I thought." "Well, just another half hour and we should be all finished up here." "You know, actually," "I think I should go home soon." " Hello?" " Mrs. Colton?" "It's Josh." "I kept thinking after you left and I remember the name of the friend she used to talk to on the Internet." "In case you want to get in touch with her?" "Yes." "Yes, of course." "Her name was Selene." "Mrs. Colton?" "Yes, I heard you." "Thank you very much, Josh." "You look like you're not feeling well." "Let me guess..." "you're feeling sluggish and your legs are going numb, losing motor control?" "That's just what the Internet said when I researched this." "See, you took an awful lot of this." "That coffee was so strong, you probably couldn't taste it." "I'll get that." "Miranda." "But I need to..." "Sorry, but... you won't be talking to her any time soon." "Please leave a message after the tone." "Ray, hi, it's me." "Call me on my cell as soon as you get this, okay?" "I'm gonna try you at the office." "Chest pains?" "Yeah, that's to be expected." "We'll let that go to voicemail." "Pick up, pick up." "Dr. Colton is not available right now." "Please leave your name and n..." "Hello?" "Haley, it's Mom." "Is your dad back yet?" "No, but I talked to him when I got back from school." "He said that he and Christie were gonna stay late at the office." "What?" "Okay." "If you speak with him, tell him to call me on my cell right away." "I don't understand..." "Let me explain it to you." "You see, I figured this would be the best way for a doctor to kill himself." "At least, this way, you can still have an open casket funeral." "Something my dad never had." "Oh, my God." "Christie... why?" "Why?" "You're asking me why?" "How about because it's been 2 years, 10 months, and 6 days since my father sat in our kitchen, loaded his gun, and blew his brains out because of you." "Me?" "No!" "No, no, no, no." "No, this is the end of the line for you, Ray." "I know what happened." "I know what you did." "When my dad needed help, financial help so that he could support me, you said no." "You wouldn't loan money to your own brother!" "It wasn't his fault he got fired." "He couldn't get another job!" "He did everything that he could to make sure that I was okay." "So that I didn't have to change schools again, so that there was food on our table!" " And you didn't even care." " Christie..." "He came to you for help and you turned your back on him." "He lost everything." "And you didn't do a damn thing about it." "But that is not true." "Christie, you don't know the whole story." "Like hell I don't." "He never asked for help from anyone except for you." "And you're the reason he's gone." "Move!" "Move!" "Christie..." "Listen to me for a second." "How does it feel to have your whole life taken away from you?" "Your career, your reputation?" "Your dad, when he lost his job, he came to me for money." "You shut up!" "I gave it him." "No, I don't want to hear this." "$10,000." "You're a liar." "Over the next 18 months..." "I gave him another 20,000." "Dad never had that money!" "Christie, he did." "He never gave it to you." "Come on, man, I need it." "I gave you 10 grand 2 months ago." "Where is it?" " Christie's tuition." " That's a lie." "What did you do with the money?" "Look, I just thought if I could make it last longer," " I wouldn't have to come to you anymore." " Oh, stop lying!" "I didn't think the Eagles could cover the spread." " You gambled it?" " It was a fluke, Ray!" "I should have won!" "You know I can predict this kind of thing." "Oh, for God's sake, Richard, just... enough." "Look, if I don't come up with Christie's tuition, they're gonna kick her out." "And I'm two months behind on the house." "Okay, listen." "I will go to Christie's school on Monday and pay her tuition myself." "Also, I want your mortgage statements to start coming here." "I'll write the bank a check for what's past due." "No, Ray." "Please, just write me a check now and I'll take care of everything." "I'll help you take care of your family, Richard, but I'm not giving you another dime." "Not ever." "You don't trust me." " I'm your brother." " That's right." "You're my brother." "And I don't trust you." "Richard, this gambling obsession is destroying your life." "Now, we have got to get you some real help." "I knew I shouldn't have come here." "Getting all high and mighty, telling me that I need help?" "We're not all as lucky as you, Ray!" " Richard." " Go to hell!" "That was two days before he committed suicide." "No." "No, you're lying." "Dad would have never gambled away the money that we needed." "My..." "My brother... was very sick." "But he loved you." "Christie..." "Christie, I need your help." "The Dilantenol..." "I know what it will do." "You're gonna fall asleep." "And then... 20 or 30 minutes after that your heart will beat for the last time." "And then this will all be over." "Because you didn't help him!" "And that's why he left me." ""Dear Miranda..." ""and Haley," ""You know how much I love you both." ""I didn't mean to hurt you." "Please... forgive me."" "Ray?" "Are you here?" "Miranda?" "It's okay." "It's all over." "He's already dead." "There's nothing else that you can do." "He went peacefully." "Which is more mercy than he showed his brother." "I didn't want you to come here and see this!" "I wanted..." "I wanted Haley to have at least one parent survive." "No!" "It's his fault!" " Ray." " Miranda!" "Please!" "Miranda!" "Listen to me!" "It's his fault!" "Miranda!" "He's a selfish, greedy bastard!" "It's was his fault that he left me!" "Yes, I need police and paramedics at 2114 Skylar, Suite 600." "Oh, God." "My niece poisoned my husband with Dilan..." "Di-lantenol." "Yes, he's unconscious." "I don't know." "He's still breathing, but I can't wake him up." "Yes, she's outside the door, in the hallway." "She's got a knife." "Yes, yes, she tried to kill me, too." "Hurry please!" "Why'd you leave me?" "I stayed with you when everybody left you!" "I stayed!" "They're coming." "I stayed..." "Christie?" "Dad... you left me all alone." "I have no idea how this works." "I'll show you." "You'll learn." "It's easy." "Okay." " Hah." " Now you try." "Ooh, I screwed that up." "It's okay, Dad." "I know exactly what you mean." "You're the best." "You're the only one who stands by me." "What would I do without you?" "Haley, your mother and I are very proud of you." "I can't wait to see what this is." "I can't believe you guys got me this!" "Well, we promised we would if you kept your grades up." " Happy birthday, sweetie." " Thanks, Mom." " It fits!" " Thanks, Mom." " I love you." " You're welcome." " Thanks, Dad." " Happy birthday, sweetie pie." " Oh, thanks." " I love you, sweetheart." " I love you guys." " Happy birthday." "Subtitles by LeapinLar"
