My Husband's Deadly Past (2020) - full transcript
A woman haunted by visions that suggest she killed a missing co-ed discovers that her psychiatrist husband has manipulated her memory to hide his own role in the murder.
no, no!
you okay?
I'm not sure.
What is it?
I just had
the strangest dream.
Well, you're in luck,
because strange dreams
are my specialty.
I'm not kidding.
It scared me.
I thought
you never got nightmares.
That's just it...
it didn't seem like a nightmare.
It seemed like...
Like what?
No!
nothing.
Never mind.
Come on.
Now you're just teasing me.
Spill.
You're not on the clock, doc.
Go back to bed.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
You're not getting off
that easy.
You woke me up, so...
It's either shop talk...
...Or sex.
whoa!
Looks like someone's
had too much caffeine.
-Hey!
-What?
Since when
do you drink coffee?
Since forever.
Shoot, I'm late.
Um, is ruth picking you up?
Yes, mom.
I'm just asking, honey.
Where's your father?
Try the inner sanctum.
Jordan? Honey?
We've had this conversation.
Put the phone away.
Sit down and eat properly.
Hey. Are we still on
for dinner with doreen tonight?
If everything goes well.
If it doesn't,
I'll be updating my resume.
Hmm. You are always
glass-half-empty.
I saw her financials, otto.
If I don't land this whale,
the whole ship could go down.
Whoa, whoa. Hey, relax.
You got this.
Right.
Okay.
Someone woke up
on the wrong side of the bed.
jordan?
Your friend's here.
Yeah, I'll be there
in a minute.
Dr. Croft.
Hello, ruth.
How's the, uh,
how's the shrink business?
guess I can't complain.
Wow, is this a givenchy?
Uh...
I have no idea.
Looks really good on you.
Thanks.
It was a gift.
From who?
From his wife.
oh.
Hey, you ready to go?
Yeah, let's bounce.
-Bye.
-Bye.
Bye, mom, dad.
Have fun, you two.
what?
Oh, she's got a thing for ties.
She's got a thing for you.
She's 18.
It's just hormones.
Yeah, well, I don't like her
hanging around our daughter.
Hey, are you... You okay?
You're acting kind of strange.
it's just
that dream last night.
It really put the hooks in me.
Well, are you sure you don't
want to make an appointment?
I got some time this afternoon.
I think I can handle it.
That's my girl.
You're gonna be great.
I'll see you tonight.
oh... More dan problems?
I put out for that bastard,
and he's sucking up
to geri collins.
define "sucking up."
have you seen the stuff
she instagramed?
She wouldn't know style
if it bit her on the ass,
and he's like,
"yo, girl, that's so fresh."
he's such a jerkoff.
-This too shall pass.
-You know what the problem is?
No, but I bet
you're gonna tell me.
Guys our age are all morons.
I just want to meet
somebody older.
What, like a frat guy?
No. No, gross. Not a frat boy.
No, someone more mature,
like your dad.
What?
Relax, I didn't mean
I want to...
You know, with otto.
Just someone like him.
Whoa! Can we...
can we change the subject?
I actually just threw up
in my mouth a little bit.
no! No...
Sorry.
it is her.
"her" who?
Oh... Nothing.
Good,
because mr. Lee will be arriving
in five minutes.
Oh. Right.
Sorry, doreen.
What do we say about apologies?
"if you have to apologize,
it's already..."
...Already too late.
-"...Too late."
that's right.
So, this is the biggest meeting
of both our careers.
Hmm?
Don't you dare screw it up.
Okay. Let's go get 'em.
I'll have
this year's sales projections
sent over immediately.
Do you have
any other questions?
Just one, ms. Croft.
If I were to come on board
as both investor and partner,
who would be in charge
of all the financials?
That would be me.
With the expansion
into the asian market,
we'll be hiring
a junior accountant.
Um, three junior accountants,
actually.
I see.
Forgive me,
but you don't seem to be
giving this your full attention.
Is something wrong?
Um... Wrong?
No, nothing's wrong, I'm fine.
ms. Croft?
ms. Croft?
I need a minute.
mr. Lee...
What the hell
is wrong with you?
Remember.
karen.
Oh...
what is going on?
You just
left him standing there.
I have to leave.
Excuse me?
I'm sick.
The stomach flu.
Okay, are you insane?
We've been working on this deal
for five months.
You know how important
this is to me,
to our company.
We need this investment.
I'm sorry... I just can't.
karen!
honey?
Karen?
You home?
karen?
Karen?
hey.
You okay?
W-what happened?
I keep seeing her.
She's everywhere.
Shh-shh-shh-shh.
Calm down. Calm down.
Who's everywhere?
Gina.
Gina navarro.
I think I killed her.
it's okay, it's okay.
I've got you.
I've got you, I've got you.
I've got you.
So what's the prognosis, doc?
Am I crazy, or what?
You must have seen this poster
before you had
a dream about her,
o-or a news report.
You know, one of those
"true crime" dramatizations
about the case.
I didn't.
I don't want
to devalue your experience,
which I'm sure felt very real,
but think about it.
What makes more sense?
That you murdered
a complete stranger
and just don't remember,
or that you simply forgot
about seeing
a reconstruction of what
might have happened to her,
and then your subconscious
fed it back to you
in the form of a nightmare?
It wasn't just a nightmare.
I've been having visions
of this woman
while I've been awake
and walking around.
It's like my brain
is trying to tell me something.
That you're responsible
for her death?
That's ridiculous!
Karen! Look at me.
You are not a killer.
What if I am?
I want you to hypnotize me.
you do it for your patients
all the time.
My patients
have psychological issues.
Addictions, bad habits,
things they can
be conditioned to resist.
I have a psychological issue
and her name is gina navarro!
I need you to put me under
and take me back to the night
when she disappeared.
I need to know
if these memories are real.
Will you help me or not?
this is crazy.
How could you even be
involved in her disappearance?
Have a seat.
Now, this...
Is a strobe light.
Repetitive visual stimulus
helps induce a hypnotic state.
Alter the pattern
and the patient comes out of it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I already know all that.
Sorry. Force of habit.
Can we just
get on with it, please?
Do me a favor
and relax first.
That's easy for you to say.
Do we have to record this?
Honey, you won't
learn anything
unless we do.
Now, karen...
Trust is crucial
for hypnosis to work.
Do you trust me?
Of course.
Good.
Now lay back.
Are you comfortable?
Yes.
Good.
So I want you
to look into the light...
And allow yourself
to just completely relax.
The only thing that exists
is the light.
Now, I'm gonna count down
from 10.
And when I get to one,
you'll be asleep.
Ten...
Nine...
Eight...
Seven...
Six...
Five...
Four...
Three...
Two...
One...
One... One... One...
oh, my god.
Oh, my god. Somebody, help!
miss! Miss!
You don't want to do this.
please, get down from there.
I can't move!
Yes, you can.
I'll help you.
Listen,
all you need to do
is swing around
and face me, okay?
oh, is that it?
Sounds pretty easy.
Ohh.
Oh.
I hate heights.
You can do this.
I've got ya.
come on.
Okay.
Nice and slowly.
Very good.
here you go. Come on.
I've got ya.
Okay. Okay.
I've got ya.
There you go.
Very good.
Nice and slow.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Yeah, I think so.
What happened?
You tell me.
I was coming home from work.
I saw you up on the railing
and figured I'd better
do my civic duty.
Where are we...
Where are we?
The north dam.
How did I get here?
Is this your car?
Yeah.
I think I drove here.
Looks that way.
Why would I do that?
I...
Oh, my god.
I have to get home.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I don't think it's a good idea
for you to get
behind the wheel right now.
Why not?
Listen.
I'm an e.R. Doctor
at the city hospital.
My name's hugh.
I've been trained to deal
with this sort of thing.
I know what it must look like,
but I am not suicidal, okay?
Then what were you doing
up on the railing?
I don't know.
Okay, listen,
maybe you were sleepwalking.
I-I have no idea.
You seem a bit confused,
so please do us both a favor
and let me give you a ride home.
My car is right there.
We can come back
and get yours later.
Okay, fine. Let's hurry.
what the hell?
are you sure
this is your place?
yes.
I've got to see my daughter.
Karen! Wait!
-mom!
-It's okay.
I'm okay.
Ms. Croft,
I'm detective chandra, homicide.
What are you doing here?
What's going on?
A few hours ago,
your husband informed us
that you were missing.
After being made aware
of certain statements
that you made,
we searched the property
and discovered a body.
What?
She's a female,
approximately 18 years of age.
We found her hidden
in your pool shed.
gina navarro.
What makes you think
it's gina navarro, ms. Croft?
I know she's missing.
I saw the posters.
A lot of people go missing.
You said the victim was 18.
Gina was 18.
You seem to know
an awful lot about her.
I have a good memory.
Do you remember this?
I just keep strangling her.
She tries to flee,
but I'm stronger.
I...
I pick up the fire poker and...
I hit her.
Yes. In the head.
As hard as I can.
After that,
you-you had a psychotic break
a-and you ran off.
I-I had to call them, karen.
I was scared for you,
for jordan.
I would never hurt her!
Don't touch her.
Ms. Croft,
I'm afraid you're going to have
to come downtown with us.
no.
No, there must be...
there must be a mistake!
You can't take her!
Jordan!
No... My daughter.
It's okay...
It's okay.
Like I said,
I've been having visions
of that woman.
But I didn't even know her.
I swear, it makes no sense.
Your husband's recording
suggests
that they were more
than just visions.
Are you disputing
dr. Gossett's statement
that he found you
preparing to jump
off the north dam?
No.
You know, in my experience,
a suicide attempt
is usually
a pretty good indication
of a guilty conscience.
You know, maybe
you are just in denial
about your part
in gina's death.
I swear to you,
I have never had
a suicidal thought in my life.
There has to be something else
going on here.
thanks.
Ms. Navarro's autopsy results
and crime labs.
Now, according to the m.E.,
the cause of death
was blunt-force trauma
to the head,
and fingerprints were found
on the plastic sheet
that the body was wrapped in.
Those fingerprints are yours.
They're your fingerprints,
ms. Croft.
karen croft,
you have the right
to remain silent.
Anything you say
can be used against you
in a court of law.
You have the right at this time
to talk to a lawyer
and have your lawyer
present with you
while you are being questioned.
If you cannot afford
to hire a lawyer,
one will be appointed
to represent you
before questioning
if you wish.
How are you holding up, karen?
I've been better.
Where's jordan?
Well, we decided
that bringing her here
wasn't the best idea.
Why not?
Ms. Croft...
You're looking at murder one.
And with the dna evidence,
it'll be a slam dunk.
That's 25 to life.
25?
we'll get you through it.
Okay, we'll get you
the help you need,
but right now,
we need to think
about what's best for jordan.
What's best for jordan
is that her mother doesn't
spend the rest of her life
in prison.
So what is our defense?
An insanity plea?
Non compos mentis, what?
You're not insane, karen.
How else do you explain why
I killed a complete stranger?
Ms. Croft,
the police have a witness...
a ms. Doreen wayne,
your boss, I believe.
She says she saw you arguing
with the deceased
the day she disappeared.
What?
You should know
this isn't the first time
she's acted like this.
Otto...
Years ago, my wife...
Accused me of being unfaithful.
That was a long time ago,
and I was wrong.
We had a fight...
a big fight.
You were violent.
Who knows, maybe
you killed this navarro woman
out of some twisted notion
of jealousy.
Are you admitting you knew her?
What? No! Of course not!
And I didn't know
the first one either.
Damn it, karen!
Why did you do this?
Why did you do this to us?
Otto, it's going
to be all right.
Don't do that. Don't tell me
it's gonna be all right!
My wife
killed an 18-year-old girl.
What were you thinking, karen?
Dr. Croft,
you need to get
a hold of yourself, okay?
-I'm sorry, I...
-come on. Let's take a minute.
I'll be right back.
Just sit tight.
remember.
you did this.
You buried me.
I'm sorry.
Don't worry about it.
I can only imagine what
you're going through right now.
I'm sorry!
karen?
Are you feeling okay?
Guard...
Guard?
guard!
code red.
In the visitors' center.
I say again, we have a medical...
did you see mom?
Yeah, I did.
How is she?
When can I see her?
Your mother's not in
the right frame of mind
for a visit right now.
Dad...
She didn't do it,
she couldn't have.
I'm as shocked by all of this
as you are,
but, sweetheart,
the evidence, it's...
It's overwhelming.
No. It doesn't...
It doesn't make sense.
Why would she kill
some random girl?
I've been a psychiatrist
15 years,
and even I can't answer that.
Sometimes, people,
they just...
Snap.
Look, she might be sick,
but she's still your mom, okay?
And she needs our support,
if she's going to get better.
I'll take you to visit her
soon, okay?
I promise.
Okay? Come here.
Dad?
Yeah?
Please, don't leave me, too.
Hey.
You listen to me.
I'm not going anywhere, okay?
I am not... Going anywhere.
hang on.
It's the lawyer.
Yeah.
What?
her vital signs are stable.
You're gonna be okay.
Can you put my, uh, jacket
over there, man?
Please?
Thanks.
oh!
don't worry.
The building's not burning down.
Well, that's too bad,
because after
what you've done to us,
an insurance write-off
would be a blessing.
I need to know
if you were telling the truth.
When you said you saw me
with gina navarro
on the day she disappeared.
I can't believe
I almost made you partner.
Damn it, doreen.
I need to know.
Okay, all right,
just calm down.
I was well into
my third whiskey sour
when I saw you on the news.
I thought that if
I could blame it all
on one rogue employee,
I could buy myself some time,
maybe find some financing
to keep us afloat.
Wasn't my finest feat
of rationalization.
That's enough.
Okay?
I'm calling the cops,
so you either kill me
or you get the hell
out of here!
Tell me the truth!
You owe me that much.
I owe you?
Ten years building this company,
and it took you less than
an hour to tear it down!
I'll be lucky
if I get off with 20.
Don't you understand?
I can't do that to jordan,
not if there's a chance
that this is all in my head.
All in your head?
They found her
in your pool shed, karen!
Look, I'm sorry,
but I've got other employees
to think of.
If I go back
on my statement now,
you and I
will be sharing a cell.
You didn't really
see us together, did you?
I saw you googling her.
And that's enough
and I'm leaving.
Let me go!
doreen?
mm-hmm.
I'd love that.
all right,
I'll text you.
don't wait too long.
I won't.
let's go.
I don't want to be late
for class.
Have fun, you two.
jordan.
I'm really sorry
about your mom.
I can't imagine
what you're going through.
yeah, whatever.
Are you sure
you want to do this?
I mean, we can totally skip.
It's not like
anyone would blame you.
It's fine. Just drive.
hello?
Yes, speaking.
Hang on. Slow down.
I-I thought that
she was still in jail.
No, no. That's...
That's not necessary.
I'm just here alone
and I...
jesus.
No, I...
...I'm fine.
Yes, I'm sure.
Thank you.
Was that the police?
Detective chandra.
She says that
you escaped custody.
Technically,
I escaped from an ambulance.
Karen, this is insane.
You can't be here.
I saw doreen.
She lied to the police.
-Doreen?
-Yeah.
Her statement is the only thing
that's tying me to gina,
it's the only evidence
of a motive.
I'm gonna call the lawyer.
She'll know how to handle this.
Um, something happened
with doreen.
There was a fight.
karen, what have you done?
I... it was an accident, okay?
I just...
I wish I could remember.
If I could just remember,
then I wouldn't...
okay. Hey, hey, hey.
Calm down.
You need to listen to me.
You have to surrender.
No.
Yes. You have to, okay?
It's the only way.
Look, anything else,
it just...
It makes it worse
for all of us.
They won't listen to me, okay?
It's her word against mine,
and now she's gonna say
that I attacked her to get her
to change her story,
and I can't go down that road.
Just grab a seat, okay?
I'm gonna get you
some water.
You just stay there.
what is this?
Work.
Someone's got to keep
the lights on around here.
Drink up.
"techniques for
managing traumatic memories"?
"hypnotic suggestions
and free will"?
Yes. You've seen that book
on my desk a hundred times.
You know
what my practice involves.
I guess I never thought
about it before.
Helping people get over
horrible things
that have happened to them.
It's not just about
getting them to talk, is it?
Okay, you...
you need to focus.
This is not about me.
It's...
About what you've done.
Okay, now just...
Drink.
What else do you do to them?
How else do you manipulate them?
It's the police.
karen, no.
Don't touch me!
I didn't have
a psychotic break, did I?
It was a hypnotic suggestion.
You made me drive to that bridge
and you wanted me
to jump off of it.
Listen to yourself!
What you're saying,
what you're thinking,
it's crazy.
I'm not the one who knew gina.
It was you, wasn't it?
wow.
Interesting hypothesis.
Where'd you come up with that?
While you were rotting in jail?
Dr. Croft!
It's the police!
dr. Croft!
Are you all right in there?
Be right there!
otto?
Karen, I thought you weren't
coming home till tomorrow.
Who the hell is she?
I'm his wife!
you're married?
okay, look.
We're all adults here.
"adults"?
You selfish son of a bitch!
You never told me
that you were still married!
how could you do this to us?
To jordan?
Okay, gina, I'm gonna
have to ask you to go.
Oh, damn right I'm going.
hey, listen to me.
You can't tell anyone, okay?
You'll ruin my reputation.
your reputation?
Are you serious?
you should've
thought of that
before you started sleeping
with one of your patients!
hey!
Gina.
What?
no!
God!
What did you do?
Karen, she gave us no choice.
oh, my god.
She's not breathing!
Oh, my god.
I'm calling the police.
stop!
Sorry, karen.
I can't let you do that.
oh, thank god, you're here.
She just left.
Who?
Who the hell do you think?
My wife!
She attacked me!
Go!
open it.
otto, please!
Just do it.
Get her in.
wait. What are you gonna do?
Make you forget
what just happened.
this is chandra.
Karen croft has been spotted
in the 600-block
of ivers crescent.
She should be considered
armed and dangerous.
All available units,
please respond.
where have you been?
The police station.
-We need to talk.
-How long?
How long what?
How long have
you been cheating on mom?
Honey, I don't...
don't even try and deny it.
I saw you today with ruth.
did you sleep with gina, too?
What? No! I s...
I had nothing to do
with that woman.
Then why would mom kill her?
Okay, honey...
don't.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I've let you down.
I'm a better psychiatrist
than I am a husband.
I was...
Unfaithful to your mother
years ago.
-I am so ashamed.
-Yeah.
The truth is,
ever since she found out
about my peccadilloes,
she's been insanely jealous
of other women,
especially younger,
attractive ones.
So she just snapped
and murdered her?
I know, I know
how bizarre it sounds,
but, from your mother's
perspective,
it probably felt like
the only choice.
No. That's not mom.
She...
She couldn't do that!
Trust me,
it doesn't take much
for the most stable,
rational people
to go off the rails.
They're called
"crimes of passion"
for a reason.
Look, honey.
I know you're hurting,
but there is a way
to take all the pain,
all those bad memories...
...And make it go away.
How?
You're gonna have to trust me.
that was a nice save
the other day, gossett.
Remind me.
The jumper on the dam.
Ah. Karen.
"karen"?
She must've left
quite an impression.
you know...
I don't think
she actually wanted to jump.
Why do you say that?
The way she reacted
when I found her.
She was...
Disoriented, confused.
Said she didn't know
how she had gotten there.
Yeah, but they just found
a body in her shed.
I don't think
she was exactly, you know,
in a healthy frame of mind.
Yeah...
You know who
her husband is, right?
No. Who?
Otto croft,
the psychotherapist.
I know, right?
Imagine what
he's going through right now.
You know,
I don't believe it.
What?
That she killed anyone.
Is that what
you told the police?
Well, they didn't ask
for my opinion.
Just the facts, huh?
you're such a boy scout.
So coffee later?
Oh, if I'm still awake.
I'm coming up on 12 hours.
All right, I hear you.
Well, have a good one.
Yeah, you too.
chandra. Homicide.
Detective. Hi.
It's hugh gossett,
your witness from the dam.
Dr. Gossett.
How can I help you?
Something's been bothering me
ever since the other night.
I should have said something
right away,
but I got this idea in my head
that I should only stick
to what I actually saw.
Now I'm worried there's
a more important context here
that might be overlooked.
Is this about karen croft?
Yes.
I don't think she was actually
trying to kill herself.
So you think
she wanted to be caught?
No, that's not what I mean.
Do you want
to change your statement?
No! Yes. I mean...
Amend it, I guess.
Sorry, I-I don't know
the protocols
for something like this.
Well, how about you just
tell me what's on your mind?
When I got to her,
she wasn't showing any signs
of suicidal ideation.
She wasn't crying,
she didn't seem manic
or depressed.
She was just confused.
I don't think
she had any idea where she was
or what she was doing
on that ledge.
Well, if that's true,
then how did she get there?
I don't know.
All I'm saying is
that she wasn't acting
like someone with a free will,
if that makes any sense.
So... You're suggesting
that she was, what, brainwashed?
I know how that sounds,
but this wasn't sleepwalking
or a fight-or-flight response
to trauma.
I can't explain it,
but I got a strong feeling
something else
is going on here.
I see.
Look, why don't you come down
to the station tomorrow
and we can talk about it
some more?
In the meantime,
if your feelings turn
into anything more concrete,
just-just let me know.
I appreciate the call, doc.
Okay. Sure.
karen?
I'm gonna get in the car.
If you try anything,
I'll fry you.
-Okay.
-'kay.
H-how did you find me?
I thought I was the one
with the bad memory.
I told you I was
a doctor here, didn't I?
Bingo.
I'd just like to point out
that I did save your life
at the dam.
You told them
I tried to commit suicide.
Actually,
I just described what I saw,
and trust me,
it didn't look good.
My husband hypnotized me.
Hypnotized you?
I know how that sounds,
but it's kind of his thing.
He provides therapy
to people with addictions.
You're an addict?
No.
He had an affair.
I found out about it,
and then he killed her.
It's complicated, okay?
Yeah, I'm getting that.
Turn the car on.
now drive.
Mind if I ask
where we're going?
My daughter's school.
She's in danger.
From her father?
No, from the easter bunny.
Yes, from her father.
Drive!
next practice
will be
Wednesday after school.
The climate action group
meets in mr. Scott's room
at lunch.
Hope to see you there.
One thing to note,
the announcement box
is not in the library,
it's in the office.
If you've got requests,
they go to...
Hey.
Look, I'm 18, okay?
I know what I'm doing.
Your dad's a good guy,
and he's hurting.
I just want to be there
for him.
This thing with your mom
is a total bummer,
but I don't understand
why everyone has to suffer
just because she's a psycho.
So, are we... are we gonna
have a problem, or what?
No problem.
Good.
what now?
Wait until school's out?
You're gonna
exit the car slowly
and we're gonna go inside.
Oh, yeah,
not suspicious at all.
Shut up. Now move.
You're hurt.
I'm fine. Let's go.
Which way?
Excuse me.
Do you know jordan croft?
Do you know where I can find
jordan croft?
Thanks.
I don't think that disguise
is working that well.
Why don't you put the taser away
and let me help you?
No offense, but I trust you
about as far as I can throw you.
jordan.
Jordan!
It's me.
It's mom.
I'm-I'm not supposed
to talk to you.
Jordan, wait.
You have to come with me
right now.
No. No, no, no, no.
- jordan!
- help me.
Let her go.
Ma'am, I'm school security.
I know who you are.
Please don't let her take me.
My daughter doesn't know
what she's saying right now.
She's not in her right mind.
No one's going anywhere, okay?
We're just gonna wait here
for the police.
Jordan!
Jordan...
all right, you asked for it.
Oh, hell.
Stay down!
nothing personal.
trust me now?
Let's go.
where are we going now?
Jordan, I am so sorry
about all of this.
Are you all right?
Do you need anything?
I'm fine.
We'll let you get back
to your classes in a minute.
I just need to ask you
a few questions
about what happened, okay?
She wants to hurt me.
Who does?
Your mother?
Has she ever tried
to do that before?
"before"?
Before gina navarro.
Before the murder.
Um...
Jordan?
Jordan!
Oh, you poor thing.
Come on.
Let's get you home,
where you'll be safe.
Dr. Croft, I still need
to ask her some more questions.
No, what you need to do
is find my wife!
How the hell did she get loose
in the first place?
We are looking into that,
but your daughter may be
able to help us
with the investigation.
Are you kidding?
Look at her.
She is in
a state of shock, okay?
She's not helping anyone
in this condition.
If you need something from us,
contact my lawyer. Come on.
hey! Hey, are you guys okay?
Yeah, she's fine.
I've just gotta take her home.
So, am I gonna
see you later?
Don't be stupid.
Remember where you are.
boss, there's something
you need to see.
This was shot by one
of the students we interviewed.
This is the two of them
arriving at the gym together.
that's
our dam witness, hugh gossett.
Yeah. See the body language?
At first, he looks
like a hostage, right?
Check this out.
geez.
We're talking about some
serious stockholm syndrome here.
'kay, put out a b.O.L.O.
On gossett
and get me his address.
your house is huge.
ah, I inherited it
from my parents.
My ex-girlfriend lived here
for a couple of years.
She left these.
Your ex must be petite.
sure she's not gonna
want all this back?
No.
It's done.
But I don't think
that's the real issue
right now, do you?
all right, here's what
you need to know.
I saw my husband kill gina.
He tried to erase my memories,
but when
they started to come back,
he planted a hypnotic suggestion
for me to kill myself,
and then he called the police,
knowing that
they'd find the body
and I would be
the prime suspect.
And now you think
he's hypnotized jordan?
You saw her back there.
She was acting like
she was on auto-pilot.
Why would he even risk that?
I mean,
she's walking around in public,
interacting with people.
She must have found out
something about him.
Well, if he went through
the trouble to hypnotize her,
it must mean he's not
prepared to hurt her.
Yet.
Whoa.
Speaking of hurt...
Let me take a look at that.
It's not deep.
Yeah. Doesn't mean
it can't get infected.
When's the last time
you changed the bandage?
Never?
Come on.
I'll get you cleaned up.
Okay.
You're a real pro at this.
Ah, four years in the e.R.
You must have seen
everything, huh?
thought I had.
There, all done.
Thanks.
I really appreciate everything.
Listen, karen.
No more barging into schools
to kidnap girls, okay?
We need to be smarter
about this.
You don't need
to worry about it.
I can handle things
on my own from here on out.
What do you mean?
I mean, I've already gotten you
too involved in this.
Hey, if I didn't
want to be here,
I wouldn't have tackled
the security guard.
I wasn't intimidating
enough, huh?
Yeah, sorry to burst
your bad-ass bubble, but yeah...
I didn't actually think
you were going to tase me.
Sorry about that.
forget about it.
It's in the past.
Well, I should go.
Okay.
What's the plan?
Find out a way to prove
that otto's lying.
Any ideas?
I'll figure out something.
take the back.
I got the front.
Karen,
"I'll figure something out"
is not a plan.
Well, it's all I've got.
You've got me.
Listen.
When I talked you down
off that ledge,
that wasn't just
being a good samaritan.
The truth is,
I thought you were
one of the most beautiful women
I'd ever seen and I...
hey.
I'm baring my soul here.
Give me a break.
Look...
I like you, too.
Really.
I just can't think about
this stuff right now.
I totally understand.
You have your daughter
to worry about.
And a murderer for a husband.
Yeah.
hugh gossett!
It's the police!
Open the door!
now we're both
fugitives on the run.
-You need to give yourself up.
-What?
Just tell them
that I made you to do it.
It's the truth.
After what I did to the guard?
They'll never buy it.
Damn it, hugh.
I don't want you
to ruin your life over this.
Hey. You let me
worry about that.
You got enough on your plate.
What happened
to "we barely know each other"?
I know enough.
Come on.
they must have just left.
Spread out and find them.
damn it.
I left my keys in inside.
Got any other ideas?
Working in an e.R.
Doesn't really prepare you
for running from the cops.
Yeah, neither does
being a c.P.A.
You're an accountant?
I was. For a design firm.
If we get out of this,
you're doing my taxes.
Sure, why not?
Here.
I have an idea. Come on.
We're stealing cars now?
That's worse
than your last plan.
What, do you want to take
another hostage?
this whole bonnie-and-clyde
thing is definitely not
as glamorous as it looks
in the movies.
Okay, what now?
I don't know.
This was your idea!
I've never hot-wired anything
before, okay?
Neither have I!
What are you doing?
Well, back in high school,
the shop kids used
to do this all the time,
and they weren't exactly
honor-roll material.
How hard can it be?
ah!
Harder than it looks?
Nothing yet.
Keep looking.
They couldn't have gone far.
I've got
a visual on the suspect.
Police!
Get out of the car.
Karen, this is crazy.
We've got nowhere to go.
Damn it!
It's push start.
karen!
That's not the way
to get your daughter back.
If I give up now,
it's over, otto wins.
What are you talking about?
There's no time.
My daughter is in danger.
Karen!
suspect on the move!
do you trust me, jordan?
Yes.
Good.
I'm glad,
because you're my daughter
and I would never hurt you.
I know.
When we're done here,
everything that's troubled you
these last few days
will be gone.
We can start again
with a clean slate.
hold that thought
in your mind.
Cherish it.
Honey, I...
I never want you to doubt
that I love you...
And that I'll always have
your best interests at heart.
I know.
Ruth, what the hell
are you doing?
What am I doing?
What are you doing?
My job!
I'm a psychiatrist.
My daughter needs treatment.
With a gun?
I knew something
was up with her.
Something is up with her.
She's suffered a severe trauma.
And hypnotizing her
is gonna help?
Oh, I'm sorry,
I didn't realize
that there were
two doctors in the room.
Turn it off.
She's coming with me.
Ruth, let's just down the...
turn it off!
Fine. Take it easy.
jordan...
Come on.
Get up, jordan.
Are you okay?
Yes.
See? I told you.
She is here
of her own free will.
Isn't that right, jordan?
You haven't really thought
this through, have you, ruth?
Tell me, what do you think
is gonna happen next?
Stay back.
We're getting a second opinion.
Good one.
Jordan, honey?
Get me the gun.
Jordan...
Jordan!
You know,
they might not admit it...
But most people want
to be told what to do.
I simply implanted
the suggestion
that my voice and god's
were one and the same.
Is that what you did
to your wife?
Is is what
you're gonna make me do?
Jump off a bridge?
I don't think so.
Coincidences like that
tend to make the police nervous.
But then again, I can't just
let you go, can I?
Jordan, please, come on.
You don't want to do this.
You know, I never meant
to hurt anyone.
I really didn't.
But, first,
karen forced me into it,
and now you.
I guess I'm just attracted
to the wrong women.
You can go to hell,
you creep!
Jordan, grab her.
No, jordan, don't...
all right...
Let's move her.
hello?
Dr. Bridges?
This is detective chandra,
metro pd.
I'm calling about
a dr. Otto croft.
Now, I understand
that you were the head
of the psychiatric department
at county general
during his residency there.
That's correct.
Is this about what happened
with his wife?
Because I saw that on the news
and that's terrible business.
It is.
Do you have time
to answer some questions?
Of course.
But I should tell you,
I've never met mrs. Croft.
It's not her
that I'm interested in.
Oh?
I see.
Can you tell me what you know
about dr. Croft's practice?
I know
that he is a very successful
psychotherapist.
That's right,
and did you know
that he uses hypnosis
as a major component
of his treatment?
No, I didn't,
but that is a very accepted part
of cognitive behavioral therapy.
Do you have any expertise
in that area?
Expertise? No.
I've always felt
hypnosis to be
more of an art
than a science.
Hmm. So you think it's bunk?
Not at all.
It can be a very powerful tool,
but the effects sometimes
are... Unpredictable.
Detective, what is this about?
I'm just chasing down a hunch.
Well, reading between the lines,
it sounds like you believe
that someone involved
in this case was hypnotized.
Hmm. You see right through me.
Now, tell me,
is it possible for a person
to be hypnotized
against their will?
No.
But a skilled hypnotist
could make someone do things
that would otherwise be
outside of their nature?
Well, that is the goal
of guided hypnotherapy.
Freeing a patient
from bad habits,
addictions, and so on.
And what about self-harm?
Could someone be hypnotized
to commit suicide?
As I said,
I am no expert...
But there have been cases
where deaths
have been attributed
to bungled hypnosis,
if not outright malfeasance.
So the answer is "yes."
a qualified one, sure.
What about murder?
Detective,
are you suggesting
that dr. Croft
might be involved
in the death
of that poor woman?
Well, like I said,
I'm just pursuing a hunch
to see where it leads.
It sounds like you have
all your answers.
You know what?
I think I do, too.
Thank you for your time, doctor.
I appreciate it.
that's ruth's car.
who's ruth?
My daughter's best friend.
I think she's having
an affair with otto.
Isn't that a bit of a leap?
She's the same age
as gina navarro.
Ah.
She was flirting with him
right in front of me.
Okay.
So how do you want to do this?
You distract him,
I'll go get the girls
out of there.
How do you want me
to distract him?
I have an idea,
but I'm not sure
it will work.
Why not?
Because he has to believe
that you'd sell me out.
In senior year,
I played iago in othello.
Reviews said
I was the best thing in it.
Wow, that's dark.
That's what
I was hoping for.
How good is the mic
on your phone?
Um... I don't know,
I've never used it before.
Why?
Because you have
to get him talking.
We need him
to incriminate himself.
Right.
Can you do this, hugh?
Yeah.
I think so.
Thank you.
get the door.
come on.
Help me get her in the chair.
stay here.
What do you want?
Just a moment
of your time, doc.
Look, whatever you're selling,
I'm not interested.
Don't you remember me?
I met your wife on the dam.
Right! Yes.
You're, uh, you're that witness.
Uh, gosling or godfrey or...
gossett.
Hugh gossett.
Yes.
How can I help, mr. Gossett?
It's not what you can do
for me, doc.
It's what I can do for you.
After you.
wow. Nice place.
I didn't really get a chance
to look around
last time I was here.
Yeah, listen,
I'm a pretty busy man,
mr. Gossett.
I'd appreciate it
if you just got to the point.
I'm sure the cops told you
your wife flew the coop.
I'm aware, yeah.
What do you know about it?
Well, for a while there,
I was her hostage.
That was fun.
Wow!
Nice pool.
I'll bet they charged an arm
and a leg for all this, huh?
Listen, if you know
where my wife is,
you should really
tell the police.
I could.
Do the right thing,
be a hero, all that stuff.
But I don't think
it'd be very good for you.
For me?
Oh, well, all I want
is for karen to get
the help that she needs.
what's so funny?
You.
The "upstanding citizen" act.
I'm have no idea
what you mean.
Your wife's had
total recall, doc.
She remembers everything.
what exactly
did she tell you?
Oh, you know...
About discovering the affair.
About you killing gina
to cover it up,
and then juicing her
to erase her memory.
It's quite a story.
If I were you,
I wouldn't want her blabbing it
to the cops.
That is quite the story.
But the police didn't
believe her the first time,
why would they believe her now?
Yeah, maybe they'd believe her,
maybe they wouldn't.
Either way, I'd bet
you'd sleep better at night
if you could
just get rid of her
and blame it on someone else.
Just like you did with gina.
And it seems to me
that being able
to make that happen
should be worth something.
okay.
Oh, let me see
if I got this straight.
You think
that I killed gina navarro,
and now you're here to, what?
To blackmail me?
Come on.
It's not like
you can't afford it.
Look at this place.
What's a million or so
to a guy like you?
Not much.
Ooh.
What is this?
That's...
Not what it looks like.
Really?
Pretty sure it is.
jordan?
Come out here, sweetie.
jordan?
Ruth?
Ruth! Wake up.
Ms. Croft!
did my husband
do this to you?
Yeah. He made jordan help.
Something's not right
about her.
She's not herself.
You're telling me.
Otto, he... he's crazy.
I... I think
he killed that woman.
I know.
I'm going to handle it.
You need to get out of here
and call the police.
Can you do that?
Yeah.
I owe you
a really big apology.
I did something really stupid.
I understand.
I fell for him, too.
Come on.
-Get out of here.
-Okay.
does she really
need to see this?
See this?
She's gonna do it.
Jordan, honey,
we're gonna play
a little game.
I'm gonna count down from five,
and when I get to one,
I want you to shoot this man.
Now, don't worry...
The bullets aren't real.
No one's actually
gonna get hurt.
Take it.
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
wait a minute.
Five.
Where's my wife?
Mr. Gossett?
You can't seriously expect
to get away with this.
four.
I think I'm doing
pretty good so far.
Three.
Where is she?
As far away from you
as possible.
Two, one. Now.
you did good, sweetheart.
You did so, so good.
The game is not over yet.
Okay?
In a minute,
I want you go
into my counseling room
and I want you
to shoot your friend, ruth.
Okay, and then after that...
I want you to shoot yourself.
Now, again, remember,
it's just a game.
No one will get hurt.
You understand?
Yes.
Good girl.
I love you, sweetie.
Now go.
Now.
jordan? It's me. Mom.
can you hear me, jordan?
Follow my voice, jordan.
Jordan?
Mom?
-Mom!
-Honey.
What happened?
Where am I?
You're home, baby.
You're home.
I think I shot someone.
jordan?
Why don't I hear any gunshots?
well, look at you go,
mr. Gossett!
impressive.
please...
Don't hurt them.
Shut up.
hi, honey.
whoa, whoa.
Just take it easy.
"take it easy"?
After everything you've done,
you want me to take it easy?
Think about your daughter.
Our... our daughter.
Do it, mom.
Kill him.
No. Honey, you don't...
You don't mean that.
You're confused,
okay, sweetheart?
You...
-you son of a bitch!
You made me shoot him!
jordan, no! No, no.
you're both crazy!
ho!
Thank god, you're here.
Dr. Croft, I need you
to stay where you are.
My wife, she's inside.
She's got my daughter
and she's already shot a man.
I don't even know
what she's gonna do next!
I said, stop moving!
didn't you hear what I said?
My daughter is a hostage.
I heard you.
What the hell are you doing?
watch him.
Watch me?
Are you crazy?
Karen!
This is detective chandra.
I need you
to come out of the house
with your hands
where I can see them.
What do we do?
Exactly what she says.
No, I'm not letting him
get away with this!
Jordan! Jordan, wait.
On the ground, now!
Hands behind your head.
My mom didn't do anything.
It was all my dad.
Don't listen to her!
My wife, she-she's working
with that witness, gossett,
they came here
to extort me,
and then we fought,
and-and she tried to shoot me,
and she shot him instead.
Get rid of him.
What?
that's not what happened!
Jordan, honey, it's okay,
just get down.
Do what they say.
It's not right,
we can't just let him
get away with this.
-It's okay.
-Ms. Croft.
Is there anyone else
in the house?
Hugh gossett.
He's been shot.
Search it.
Did it happen
like your husband said?
No.
Then who pulled the trigger?
I did.
No, no, no, no, no.
She's lying.
It was me. I-I...
I was...
I was hypnotized. I didn't...
I didn't mean to. I swear.
I didn't mean to kill him.
We're all gonna
head down to the station.
we have an injured man here.
We need an ambulance, stat.
Did he just say injured?
He's alive.
hey.
How are you?
Healing.
Still sore?
Oh... No complaints.
So how's my best buddy, otto?
cooling his heels in jail.
Nice view.
Yeah.
From this side.
And to think
this is where we first met.
Crazy, huh?
You took a bullet
for jordan and I.
Yeah...
Guess I did, didn't I?
So... Does that get me a date?
Or a dinner, maybe?
I'll take that a yes.
I'm buying.
oh! Okay.
you okay?
I'm not sure.
What is it?
I just had
the strangest dream.
Well, you're in luck,
because strange dreams
are my specialty.
I'm not kidding.
It scared me.
I thought
you never got nightmares.
That's just it...
it didn't seem like a nightmare.
It seemed like...
Like what?
No!
nothing.
Never mind.
Come on.
Now you're just teasing me.
Spill.
You're not on the clock, doc.
Go back to bed.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
You're not getting off
that easy.
You woke me up, so...
It's either shop talk...
...Or sex.
whoa!
Looks like someone's
had too much caffeine.
-Hey!
-What?
Since when
do you drink coffee?
Since forever.
Shoot, I'm late.
Um, is ruth picking you up?
Yes, mom.
I'm just asking, honey.
Where's your father?
Try the inner sanctum.
Jordan? Honey?
We've had this conversation.
Put the phone away.
Sit down and eat properly.
Hey. Are we still on
for dinner with doreen tonight?
If everything goes well.
If it doesn't,
I'll be updating my resume.
Hmm. You are always
glass-half-empty.
I saw her financials, otto.
If I don't land this whale,
the whole ship could go down.
Whoa, whoa. Hey, relax.
You got this.
Right.
Okay.
Someone woke up
on the wrong side of the bed.
jordan?
Your friend's here.
Yeah, I'll be there
in a minute.
Dr. Croft.
Hello, ruth.
How's the, uh,
how's the shrink business?
guess I can't complain.
Wow, is this a givenchy?
Uh...
I have no idea.
Looks really good on you.
Thanks.
It was a gift.
From who?
From his wife.
oh.
Hey, you ready to go?
Yeah, let's bounce.
-Bye.
-Bye.
Bye, mom, dad.
Have fun, you two.
what?
Oh, she's got a thing for ties.
She's got a thing for you.
She's 18.
It's just hormones.
Yeah, well, I don't like her
hanging around our daughter.
Hey, are you... You okay?
You're acting kind of strange.
it's just
that dream last night.
It really put the hooks in me.
Well, are you sure you don't
want to make an appointment?
I got some time this afternoon.
I think I can handle it.
That's my girl.
You're gonna be great.
I'll see you tonight.
oh... More dan problems?
I put out for that bastard,
and he's sucking up
to geri collins.
define "sucking up."
have you seen the stuff
she instagramed?
She wouldn't know style
if it bit her on the ass,
and he's like,
"yo, girl, that's so fresh."
he's such a jerkoff.
-This too shall pass.
-You know what the problem is?
No, but I bet
you're gonna tell me.
Guys our age are all morons.
I just want to meet
somebody older.
What, like a frat guy?
No. No, gross. Not a frat boy.
No, someone more mature,
like your dad.
What?
Relax, I didn't mean
I want to...
You know, with otto.
Just someone like him.
Whoa! Can we...
can we change the subject?
I actually just threw up
in my mouth a little bit.
no! No...
Sorry.
it is her.
"her" who?
Oh... Nothing.
Good,
because mr. Lee will be arriving
in five minutes.
Oh. Right.
Sorry, doreen.
What do we say about apologies?
"if you have to apologize,
it's already..."
...Already too late.
-"...Too late."
that's right.
So, this is the biggest meeting
of both our careers.
Hmm?
Don't you dare screw it up.
Okay. Let's go get 'em.
I'll have
this year's sales projections
sent over immediately.
Do you have
any other questions?
Just one, ms. Croft.
If I were to come on board
as both investor and partner,
who would be in charge
of all the financials?
That would be me.
With the expansion
into the asian market,
we'll be hiring
a junior accountant.
Um, three junior accountants,
actually.
I see.
Forgive me,
but you don't seem to be
giving this your full attention.
Is something wrong?
Um... Wrong?
No, nothing's wrong, I'm fine.
ms. Croft?
ms. Croft?
I need a minute.
mr. Lee...
What the hell
is wrong with you?
Remember.
karen.
Oh...
what is going on?
You just
left him standing there.
I have to leave.
Excuse me?
I'm sick.
The stomach flu.
Okay, are you insane?
We've been working on this deal
for five months.
You know how important
this is to me,
to our company.
We need this investment.
I'm sorry... I just can't.
karen!
honey?
Karen?
You home?
karen?
Karen?
hey.
You okay?
W-what happened?
I keep seeing her.
She's everywhere.
Shh-shh-shh-shh.
Calm down. Calm down.
Who's everywhere?
Gina.
Gina navarro.
I think I killed her.
it's okay, it's okay.
I've got you.
I've got you, I've got you.
I've got you.
So what's the prognosis, doc?
Am I crazy, or what?
You must have seen this poster
before you had
a dream about her,
o-or a news report.
You know, one of those
"true crime" dramatizations
about the case.
I didn't.
I don't want
to devalue your experience,
which I'm sure felt very real,
but think about it.
What makes more sense?
That you murdered
a complete stranger
and just don't remember,
or that you simply forgot
about seeing
a reconstruction of what
might have happened to her,
and then your subconscious
fed it back to you
in the form of a nightmare?
It wasn't just a nightmare.
I've been having visions
of this woman
while I've been awake
and walking around.
It's like my brain
is trying to tell me something.
That you're responsible
for her death?
That's ridiculous!
Karen! Look at me.
You are not a killer.
What if I am?
I want you to hypnotize me.
you do it for your patients
all the time.
My patients
have psychological issues.
Addictions, bad habits,
things they can
be conditioned to resist.
I have a psychological issue
and her name is gina navarro!
I need you to put me under
and take me back to the night
when she disappeared.
I need to know
if these memories are real.
Will you help me or not?
this is crazy.
How could you even be
involved in her disappearance?
Have a seat.
Now, this...
Is a strobe light.
Repetitive visual stimulus
helps induce a hypnotic state.
Alter the pattern
and the patient comes out of it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I already know all that.
Sorry. Force of habit.
Can we just
get on with it, please?
Do me a favor
and relax first.
That's easy for you to say.
Do we have to record this?
Honey, you won't
learn anything
unless we do.
Now, karen...
Trust is crucial
for hypnosis to work.
Do you trust me?
Of course.
Good.
Now lay back.
Are you comfortable?
Yes.
Good.
So I want you
to look into the light...
And allow yourself
to just completely relax.
The only thing that exists
is the light.
Now, I'm gonna count down
from 10.
And when I get to one,
you'll be asleep.
Ten...
Nine...
Eight...
Seven...
Six...
Five...
Four...
Three...
Two...
One...
One... One... One...
oh, my god.
Oh, my god. Somebody, help!
miss! Miss!
You don't want to do this.
please, get down from there.
I can't move!
Yes, you can.
I'll help you.
Listen,
all you need to do
is swing around
and face me, okay?
oh, is that it?
Sounds pretty easy.
Ohh.
Oh.
I hate heights.
You can do this.
I've got ya.
come on.
Okay.
Nice and slowly.
Very good.
here you go. Come on.
I've got ya.
Okay. Okay.
I've got ya.
There you go.
Very good.
Nice and slow.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Yeah, I think so.
What happened?
You tell me.
I was coming home from work.
I saw you up on the railing
and figured I'd better
do my civic duty.
Where are we...
Where are we?
The north dam.
How did I get here?
Is this your car?
Yeah.
I think I drove here.
Looks that way.
Why would I do that?
I...
Oh, my god.
I have to get home.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I don't think it's a good idea
for you to get
behind the wheel right now.
Why not?
Listen.
I'm an e.R. Doctor
at the city hospital.
My name's hugh.
I've been trained to deal
with this sort of thing.
I know what it must look like,
but I am not suicidal, okay?
Then what were you doing
up on the railing?
I don't know.
Okay, listen,
maybe you were sleepwalking.
I-I have no idea.
You seem a bit confused,
so please do us both a favor
and let me give you a ride home.
My car is right there.
We can come back
and get yours later.
Okay, fine. Let's hurry.
what the hell?
are you sure
this is your place?
yes.
I've got to see my daughter.
Karen! Wait!
-mom!
-It's okay.
I'm okay.
Ms. Croft,
I'm detective chandra, homicide.
What are you doing here?
What's going on?
A few hours ago,
your husband informed us
that you were missing.
After being made aware
of certain statements
that you made,
we searched the property
and discovered a body.
What?
She's a female,
approximately 18 years of age.
We found her hidden
in your pool shed.
gina navarro.
What makes you think
it's gina navarro, ms. Croft?
I know she's missing.
I saw the posters.
A lot of people go missing.
You said the victim was 18.
Gina was 18.
You seem to know
an awful lot about her.
I have a good memory.
Do you remember this?
I just keep strangling her.
She tries to flee,
but I'm stronger.
I...
I pick up the fire poker and...
I hit her.
Yes. In the head.
As hard as I can.
After that,
you-you had a psychotic break
a-and you ran off.
I-I had to call them, karen.
I was scared for you,
for jordan.
I would never hurt her!
Don't touch her.
Ms. Croft,
I'm afraid you're going to have
to come downtown with us.
no.
No, there must be...
there must be a mistake!
You can't take her!
Jordan!
No... My daughter.
It's okay...
It's okay.
Like I said,
I've been having visions
of that woman.
But I didn't even know her.
I swear, it makes no sense.
Your husband's recording
suggests
that they were more
than just visions.
Are you disputing
dr. Gossett's statement
that he found you
preparing to jump
off the north dam?
No.
You know, in my experience,
a suicide attempt
is usually
a pretty good indication
of a guilty conscience.
You know, maybe
you are just in denial
about your part
in gina's death.
I swear to you,
I have never had
a suicidal thought in my life.
There has to be something else
going on here.
thanks.
Ms. Navarro's autopsy results
and crime labs.
Now, according to the m.E.,
the cause of death
was blunt-force trauma
to the head,
and fingerprints were found
on the plastic sheet
that the body was wrapped in.
Those fingerprints are yours.
They're your fingerprints,
ms. Croft.
karen croft,
you have the right
to remain silent.
Anything you say
can be used against you
in a court of law.
You have the right at this time
to talk to a lawyer
and have your lawyer
present with you
while you are being questioned.
If you cannot afford
to hire a lawyer,
one will be appointed
to represent you
before questioning
if you wish.
How are you holding up, karen?
I've been better.
Where's jordan?
Well, we decided
that bringing her here
wasn't the best idea.
Why not?
Ms. Croft...
You're looking at murder one.
And with the dna evidence,
it'll be a slam dunk.
That's 25 to life.
25?
we'll get you through it.
Okay, we'll get you
the help you need,
but right now,
we need to think
about what's best for jordan.
What's best for jordan
is that her mother doesn't
spend the rest of her life
in prison.
So what is our defense?
An insanity plea?
Non compos mentis, what?
You're not insane, karen.
How else do you explain why
I killed a complete stranger?
Ms. Croft,
the police have a witness...
a ms. Doreen wayne,
your boss, I believe.
She says she saw you arguing
with the deceased
the day she disappeared.
What?
You should know
this isn't the first time
she's acted like this.
Otto...
Years ago, my wife...
Accused me of being unfaithful.
That was a long time ago,
and I was wrong.
We had a fight...
a big fight.
You were violent.
Who knows, maybe
you killed this navarro woman
out of some twisted notion
of jealousy.
Are you admitting you knew her?
What? No! Of course not!
And I didn't know
the first one either.
Damn it, karen!
Why did you do this?
Why did you do this to us?
Otto, it's going
to be all right.
Don't do that. Don't tell me
it's gonna be all right!
My wife
killed an 18-year-old girl.
What were you thinking, karen?
Dr. Croft,
you need to get
a hold of yourself, okay?
-I'm sorry, I...
-come on. Let's take a minute.
I'll be right back.
Just sit tight.
remember.
you did this.
You buried me.
I'm sorry.
Don't worry about it.
I can only imagine what
you're going through right now.
I'm sorry!
karen?
Are you feeling okay?
Guard...
Guard?
guard!
code red.
In the visitors' center.
I say again, we have a medical...
did you see mom?
Yeah, I did.
How is she?
When can I see her?
Your mother's not in
the right frame of mind
for a visit right now.
Dad...
She didn't do it,
she couldn't have.
I'm as shocked by all of this
as you are,
but, sweetheart,
the evidence, it's...
It's overwhelming.
No. It doesn't...
It doesn't make sense.
Why would she kill
some random girl?
I've been a psychiatrist
15 years,
and even I can't answer that.
Sometimes, people,
they just...
Snap.
Look, she might be sick,
but she's still your mom, okay?
And she needs our support,
if she's going to get better.
I'll take you to visit her
soon, okay?
I promise.
Okay? Come here.
Dad?
Yeah?
Please, don't leave me, too.
Hey.
You listen to me.
I'm not going anywhere, okay?
I am not... Going anywhere.
hang on.
It's the lawyer.
Yeah.
What?
her vital signs are stable.
You're gonna be okay.
Can you put my, uh, jacket
over there, man?
Please?
Thanks.
oh!
don't worry.
The building's not burning down.
Well, that's too bad,
because after
what you've done to us,
an insurance write-off
would be a blessing.
I need to know
if you were telling the truth.
When you said you saw me
with gina navarro
on the day she disappeared.
I can't believe
I almost made you partner.
Damn it, doreen.
I need to know.
Okay, all right,
just calm down.
I was well into
my third whiskey sour
when I saw you on the news.
I thought that if
I could blame it all
on one rogue employee,
I could buy myself some time,
maybe find some financing
to keep us afloat.
Wasn't my finest feat
of rationalization.
That's enough.
Okay?
I'm calling the cops,
so you either kill me
or you get the hell
out of here!
Tell me the truth!
You owe me that much.
I owe you?
Ten years building this company,
and it took you less than
an hour to tear it down!
I'll be lucky
if I get off with 20.
Don't you understand?
I can't do that to jordan,
not if there's a chance
that this is all in my head.
All in your head?
They found her
in your pool shed, karen!
Look, I'm sorry,
but I've got other employees
to think of.
If I go back
on my statement now,
you and I
will be sharing a cell.
You didn't really
see us together, did you?
I saw you googling her.
And that's enough
and I'm leaving.
Let me go!
doreen?
mm-hmm.
I'd love that.
all right,
I'll text you.
don't wait too long.
I won't.
let's go.
I don't want to be late
for class.
Have fun, you two.
jordan.
I'm really sorry
about your mom.
I can't imagine
what you're going through.
yeah, whatever.
Are you sure
you want to do this?
I mean, we can totally skip.
It's not like
anyone would blame you.
It's fine. Just drive.
hello?
Yes, speaking.
Hang on. Slow down.
I-I thought that
she was still in jail.
No, no. That's...
That's not necessary.
I'm just here alone
and I...
jesus.
No, I...
...I'm fine.
Yes, I'm sure.
Thank you.
Was that the police?
Detective chandra.
She says that
you escaped custody.
Technically,
I escaped from an ambulance.
Karen, this is insane.
You can't be here.
I saw doreen.
She lied to the police.
-Doreen?
-Yeah.
Her statement is the only thing
that's tying me to gina,
it's the only evidence
of a motive.
I'm gonna call the lawyer.
She'll know how to handle this.
Um, something happened
with doreen.
There was a fight.
karen, what have you done?
I... it was an accident, okay?
I just...
I wish I could remember.
If I could just remember,
then I wouldn't...
okay. Hey, hey, hey.
Calm down.
You need to listen to me.
You have to surrender.
No.
Yes. You have to, okay?
It's the only way.
Look, anything else,
it just...
It makes it worse
for all of us.
They won't listen to me, okay?
It's her word against mine,
and now she's gonna say
that I attacked her to get her
to change her story,
and I can't go down that road.
Just grab a seat, okay?
I'm gonna get you
some water.
You just stay there.
what is this?
Work.
Someone's got to keep
the lights on around here.
Drink up.
"techniques for
managing traumatic memories"?
"hypnotic suggestions
and free will"?
Yes. You've seen that book
on my desk a hundred times.
You know
what my practice involves.
I guess I never thought
about it before.
Helping people get over
horrible things
that have happened to them.
It's not just about
getting them to talk, is it?
Okay, you...
you need to focus.
This is not about me.
It's...
About what you've done.
Okay, now just...
Drink.
What else do you do to them?
How else do you manipulate them?
It's the police.
karen, no.
Don't touch me!
I didn't have
a psychotic break, did I?
It was a hypnotic suggestion.
You made me drive to that bridge
and you wanted me
to jump off of it.
Listen to yourself!
What you're saying,
what you're thinking,
it's crazy.
I'm not the one who knew gina.
It was you, wasn't it?
wow.
Interesting hypothesis.
Where'd you come up with that?
While you were rotting in jail?
Dr. Croft!
It's the police!
dr. Croft!
Are you all right in there?
Be right there!
otto?
Karen, I thought you weren't
coming home till tomorrow.
Who the hell is she?
I'm his wife!
you're married?
okay, look.
We're all adults here.
"adults"?
You selfish son of a bitch!
You never told me
that you were still married!
how could you do this to us?
To jordan?
Okay, gina, I'm gonna
have to ask you to go.
Oh, damn right I'm going.
hey, listen to me.
You can't tell anyone, okay?
You'll ruin my reputation.
your reputation?
Are you serious?
you should've
thought of that
before you started sleeping
with one of your patients!
hey!
Gina.
What?
no!
God!
What did you do?
Karen, she gave us no choice.
oh, my god.
She's not breathing!
Oh, my god.
I'm calling the police.
stop!
Sorry, karen.
I can't let you do that.
oh, thank god, you're here.
She just left.
Who?
Who the hell do you think?
My wife!
She attacked me!
Go!
open it.
otto, please!
Just do it.
Get her in.
wait. What are you gonna do?
Make you forget
what just happened.
this is chandra.
Karen croft has been spotted
in the 600-block
of ivers crescent.
She should be considered
armed and dangerous.
All available units,
please respond.
where have you been?
The police station.
-We need to talk.
-How long?
How long what?
How long have
you been cheating on mom?
Honey, I don't...
don't even try and deny it.
I saw you today with ruth.
did you sleep with gina, too?
What? No! I s...
I had nothing to do
with that woman.
Then why would mom kill her?
Okay, honey...
don't.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I've let you down.
I'm a better psychiatrist
than I am a husband.
I was...
Unfaithful to your mother
years ago.
-I am so ashamed.
-Yeah.
The truth is,
ever since she found out
about my peccadilloes,
she's been insanely jealous
of other women,
especially younger,
attractive ones.
So she just snapped
and murdered her?
I know, I know
how bizarre it sounds,
but, from your mother's
perspective,
it probably felt like
the only choice.
No. That's not mom.
She...
She couldn't do that!
Trust me,
it doesn't take much
for the most stable,
rational people
to go off the rails.
They're called
"crimes of passion"
for a reason.
Look, honey.
I know you're hurting,
but there is a way
to take all the pain,
all those bad memories...
...And make it go away.
How?
You're gonna have to trust me.
that was a nice save
the other day, gossett.
Remind me.
The jumper on the dam.
Ah. Karen.
"karen"?
She must've left
quite an impression.
you know...
I don't think
she actually wanted to jump.
Why do you say that?
The way she reacted
when I found her.
She was...
Disoriented, confused.
Said she didn't know
how she had gotten there.
Yeah, but they just found
a body in her shed.
I don't think
she was exactly, you know,
in a healthy frame of mind.
Yeah...
You know who
her husband is, right?
No. Who?
Otto croft,
the psychotherapist.
I know, right?
Imagine what
he's going through right now.
You know,
I don't believe it.
What?
That she killed anyone.
Is that what
you told the police?
Well, they didn't ask
for my opinion.
Just the facts, huh?
you're such a boy scout.
So coffee later?
Oh, if I'm still awake.
I'm coming up on 12 hours.
All right, I hear you.
Well, have a good one.
Yeah, you too.
chandra. Homicide.
Detective. Hi.
It's hugh gossett,
your witness from the dam.
Dr. Gossett.
How can I help you?
Something's been bothering me
ever since the other night.
I should have said something
right away,
but I got this idea in my head
that I should only stick
to what I actually saw.
Now I'm worried there's
a more important context here
that might be overlooked.
Is this about karen croft?
Yes.
I don't think she was actually
trying to kill herself.
So you think
she wanted to be caught?
No, that's not what I mean.
Do you want
to change your statement?
No! Yes. I mean...
Amend it, I guess.
Sorry, I-I don't know
the protocols
for something like this.
Well, how about you just
tell me what's on your mind?
When I got to her,
she wasn't showing any signs
of suicidal ideation.
She wasn't crying,
she didn't seem manic
or depressed.
She was just confused.
I don't think
she had any idea where she was
or what she was doing
on that ledge.
Well, if that's true,
then how did she get there?
I don't know.
All I'm saying is
that she wasn't acting
like someone with a free will,
if that makes any sense.
So... You're suggesting
that she was, what, brainwashed?
I know how that sounds,
but this wasn't sleepwalking
or a fight-or-flight response
to trauma.
I can't explain it,
but I got a strong feeling
something else
is going on here.
I see.
Look, why don't you come down
to the station tomorrow
and we can talk about it
some more?
In the meantime,
if your feelings turn
into anything more concrete,
just-just let me know.
I appreciate the call, doc.
Okay. Sure.
karen?
I'm gonna get in the car.
If you try anything,
I'll fry you.
-Okay.
-'kay.
H-how did you find me?
I thought I was the one
with the bad memory.
I told you I was
a doctor here, didn't I?
Bingo.
I'd just like to point out
that I did save your life
at the dam.
You told them
I tried to commit suicide.
Actually,
I just described what I saw,
and trust me,
it didn't look good.
My husband hypnotized me.
Hypnotized you?
I know how that sounds,
but it's kind of his thing.
He provides therapy
to people with addictions.
You're an addict?
No.
He had an affair.
I found out about it,
and then he killed her.
It's complicated, okay?
Yeah, I'm getting that.
Turn the car on.
now drive.
Mind if I ask
where we're going?
My daughter's school.
She's in danger.
From her father?
No, from the easter bunny.
Yes, from her father.
Drive!
next practice
will be
Wednesday after school.
The climate action group
meets in mr. Scott's room
at lunch.
Hope to see you there.
One thing to note,
the announcement box
is not in the library,
it's in the office.
If you've got requests,
they go to...
Hey.
Look, I'm 18, okay?
I know what I'm doing.
Your dad's a good guy,
and he's hurting.
I just want to be there
for him.
This thing with your mom
is a total bummer,
but I don't understand
why everyone has to suffer
just because she's a psycho.
So, are we... are we gonna
have a problem, or what?
No problem.
Good.
what now?
Wait until school's out?
You're gonna
exit the car slowly
and we're gonna go inside.
Oh, yeah,
not suspicious at all.
Shut up. Now move.
You're hurt.
I'm fine. Let's go.
Which way?
Excuse me.
Do you know jordan croft?
Do you know where I can find
jordan croft?
Thanks.
I don't think that disguise
is working that well.
Why don't you put the taser away
and let me help you?
No offense, but I trust you
about as far as I can throw you.
jordan.
Jordan!
It's me.
It's mom.
I'm-I'm not supposed
to talk to you.
Jordan, wait.
You have to come with me
right now.
No. No, no, no, no.
- jordan!
- help me.
Let her go.
Ma'am, I'm school security.
I know who you are.
Please don't let her take me.
My daughter doesn't know
what she's saying right now.
She's not in her right mind.
No one's going anywhere, okay?
We're just gonna wait here
for the police.
Jordan!
Jordan...
all right, you asked for it.
Oh, hell.
Stay down!
nothing personal.
trust me now?
Let's go.
where are we going now?
Jordan, I am so sorry
about all of this.
Are you all right?
Do you need anything?
I'm fine.
We'll let you get back
to your classes in a minute.
I just need to ask you
a few questions
about what happened, okay?
She wants to hurt me.
Who does?
Your mother?
Has she ever tried
to do that before?
"before"?
Before gina navarro.
Before the murder.
Um...
Jordan?
Jordan!
Oh, you poor thing.
Come on.
Let's get you home,
where you'll be safe.
Dr. Croft, I still need
to ask her some more questions.
No, what you need to do
is find my wife!
How the hell did she get loose
in the first place?
We are looking into that,
but your daughter may be
able to help us
with the investigation.
Are you kidding?
Look at her.
She is in
a state of shock, okay?
She's not helping anyone
in this condition.
If you need something from us,
contact my lawyer. Come on.
hey! Hey, are you guys okay?
Yeah, she's fine.
I've just gotta take her home.
So, am I gonna
see you later?
Don't be stupid.
Remember where you are.
boss, there's something
you need to see.
This was shot by one
of the students we interviewed.
This is the two of them
arriving at the gym together.
that's
our dam witness, hugh gossett.
Yeah. See the body language?
At first, he looks
like a hostage, right?
Check this out.
geez.
We're talking about some
serious stockholm syndrome here.
'kay, put out a b.O.L.O.
On gossett
and get me his address.
your house is huge.
ah, I inherited it
from my parents.
My ex-girlfriend lived here
for a couple of years.
She left these.
Your ex must be petite.
sure she's not gonna
want all this back?
No.
It's done.
But I don't think
that's the real issue
right now, do you?
all right, here's what
you need to know.
I saw my husband kill gina.
He tried to erase my memories,
but when
they started to come back,
he planted a hypnotic suggestion
for me to kill myself,
and then he called the police,
knowing that
they'd find the body
and I would be
the prime suspect.
And now you think
he's hypnotized jordan?
You saw her back there.
She was acting like
she was on auto-pilot.
Why would he even risk that?
I mean,
she's walking around in public,
interacting with people.
She must have found out
something about him.
Well, if he went through
the trouble to hypnotize her,
it must mean he's not
prepared to hurt her.
Yet.
Whoa.
Speaking of hurt...
Let me take a look at that.
It's not deep.
Yeah. Doesn't mean
it can't get infected.
When's the last time
you changed the bandage?
Never?
Come on.
I'll get you cleaned up.
Okay.
You're a real pro at this.
Ah, four years in the e.R.
You must have seen
everything, huh?
thought I had.
There, all done.
Thanks.
I really appreciate everything.
Listen, karen.
No more barging into schools
to kidnap girls, okay?
We need to be smarter
about this.
You don't need
to worry about it.
I can handle things
on my own from here on out.
What do you mean?
I mean, I've already gotten you
too involved in this.
Hey, if I didn't
want to be here,
I wouldn't have tackled
the security guard.
I wasn't intimidating
enough, huh?
Yeah, sorry to burst
your bad-ass bubble, but yeah...
I didn't actually think
you were going to tase me.
Sorry about that.
forget about it.
It's in the past.
Well, I should go.
Okay.
What's the plan?
Find out a way to prove
that otto's lying.
Any ideas?
I'll figure out something.
take the back.
I got the front.
Karen,
"I'll figure something out"
is not a plan.
Well, it's all I've got.
You've got me.
Listen.
When I talked you down
off that ledge,
that wasn't just
being a good samaritan.
The truth is,
I thought you were
one of the most beautiful women
I'd ever seen and I...
hey.
I'm baring my soul here.
Give me a break.
Look...
I like you, too.
Really.
I just can't think about
this stuff right now.
I totally understand.
You have your daughter
to worry about.
And a murderer for a husband.
Yeah.
hugh gossett!
It's the police!
Open the door!
now we're both
fugitives on the run.
-You need to give yourself up.
-What?
Just tell them
that I made you to do it.
It's the truth.
After what I did to the guard?
They'll never buy it.
Damn it, hugh.
I don't want you
to ruin your life over this.
Hey. You let me
worry about that.
You got enough on your plate.
What happened
to "we barely know each other"?
I know enough.
Come on.
they must have just left.
Spread out and find them.
damn it.
I left my keys in inside.
Got any other ideas?
Working in an e.R.
Doesn't really prepare you
for running from the cops.
Yeah, neither does
being a c.P.A.
You're an accountant?
I was. For a design firm.
If we get out of this,
you're doing my taxes.
Sure, why not?
Here.
I have an idea. Come on.
We're stealing cars now?
That's worse
than your last plan.
What, do you want to take
another hostage?
this whole bonnie-and-clyde
thing is definitely not
as glamorous as it looks
in the movies.
Okay, what now?
I don't know.
This was your idea!
I've never hot-wired anything
before, okay?
Neither have I!
What are you doing?
Well, back in high school,
the shop kids used
to do this all the time,
and they weren't exactly
honor-roll material.
How hard can it be?
ah!
Harder than it looks?
Nothing yet.
Keep looking.
They couldn't have gone far.
I've got
a visual on the suspect.
Police!
Get out of the car.
Karen, this is crazy.
We've got nowhere to go.
Damn it!
It's push start.
karen!
That's not the way
to get your daughter back.
If I give up now,
it's over, otto wins.
What are you talking about?
There's no time.
My daughter is in danger.
Karen!
suspect on the move!
do you trust me, jordan?
Yes.
Good.
I'm glad,
because you're my daughter
and I would never hurt you.
I know.
When we're done here,
everything that's troubled you
these last few days
will be gone.
We can start again
with a clean slate.
hold that thought
in your mind.
Cherish it.
Honey, I...
I never want you to doubt
that I love you...
And that I'll always have
your best interests at heart.
I know.
Ruth, what the hell
are you doing?
What am I doing?
What are you doing?
My job!
I'm a psychiatrist.
My daughter needs treatment.
With a gun?
I knew something
was up with her.
Something is up with her.
She's suffered a severe trauma.
And hypnotizing her
is gonna help?
Oh, I'm sorry,
I didn't realize
that there were
two doctors in the room.
Turn it off.
She's coming with me.
Ruth, let's just down the...
turn it off!
Fine. Take it easy.
jordan...
Come on.
Get up, jordan.
Are you okay?
Yes.
See? I told you.
She is here
of her own free will.
Isn't that right, jordan?
You haven't really thought
this through, have you, ruth?
Tell me, what do you think
is gonna happen next?
Stay back.
We're getting a second opinion.
Good one.
Jordan, honey?
Get me the gun.
Jordan...
Jordan!
You know,
they might not admit it...
But most people want
to be told what to do.
I simply implanted
the suggestion
that my voice and god's
were one and the same.
Is that what you did
to your wife?
Is is what
you're gonna make me do?
Jump off a bridge?
I don't think so.
Coincidences like that
tend to make the police nervous.
But then again, I can't just
let you go, can I?
Jordan, please, come on.
You don't want to do this.
You know, I never meant
to hurt anyone.
I really didn't.
But, first,
karen forced me into it,
and now you.
I guess I'm just attracted
to the wrong women.
You can go to hell,
you creep!
Jordan, grab her.
No, jordan, don't...
all right...
Let's move her.
hello?
Dr. Bridges?
This is detective chandra,
metro pd.
I'm calling about
a dr. Otto croft.
Now, I understand
that you were the head
of the psychiatric department
at county general
during his residency there.
That's correct.
Is this about what happened
with his wife?
Because I saw that on the news
and that's terrible business.
It is.
Do you have time
to answer some questions?
Of course.
But I should tell you,
I've never met mrs. Croft.
It's not her
that I'm interested in.
Oh?
I see.
Can you tell me what you know
about dr. Croft's practice?
I know
that he is a very successful
psychotherapist.
That's right,
and did you know
that he uses hypnosis
as a major component
of his treatment?
No, I didn't,
but that is a very accepted part
of cognitive behavioral therapy.
Do you have any expertise
in that area?
Expertise? No.
I've always felt
hypnosis to be
more of an art
than a science.
Hmm. So you think it's bunk?
Not at all.
It can be a very powerful tool,
but the effects sometimes
are... Unpredictable.
Detective, what is this about?
I'm just chasing down a hunch.
Well, reading between the lines,
it sounds like you believe
that someone involved
in this case was hypnotized.
Hmm. You see right through me.
Now, tell me,
is it possible for a person
to be hypnotized
against their will?
No.
But a skilled hypnotist
could make someone do things
that would otherwise be
outside of their nature?
Well, that is the goal
of guided hypnotherapy.
Freeing a patient
from bad habits,
addictions, and so on.
And what about self-harm?
Could someone be hypnotized
to commit suicide?
As I said,
I am no expert...
But there have been cases
where deaths
have been attributed
to bungled hypnosis,
if not outright malfeasance.
So the answer is "yes."
a qualified one, sure.
What about murder?
Detective,
are you suggesting
that dr. Croft
might be involved
in the death
of that poor woman?
Well, like I said,
I'm just pursuing a hunch
to see where it leads.
It sounds like you have
all your answers.
You know what?
I think I do, too.
Thank you for your time, doctor.
I appreciate it.
that's ruth's car.
who's ruth?
My daughter's best friend.
I think she's having
an affair with otto.
Isn't that a bit of a leap?
She's the same age
as gina navarro.
Ah.
She was flirting with him
right in front of me.
Okay.
So how do you want to do this?
You distract him,
I'll go get the girls
out of there.
How do you want me
to distract him?
I have an idea,
but I'm not sure
it will work.
Why not?
Because he has to believe
that you'd sell me out.
In senior year,
I played iago in othello.
Reviews said
I was the best thing in it.
Wow, that's dark.
That's what
I was hoping for.
How good is the mic
on your phone?
Um... I don't know,
I've never used it before.
Why?
Because you have
to get him talking.
We need him
to incriminate himself.
Right.
Can you do this, hugh?
Yeah.
I think so.
Thank you.
get the door.
come on.
Help me get her in the chair.
stay here.
What do you want?
Just a moment
of your time, doc.
Look, whatever you're selling,
I'm not interested.
Don't you remember me?
I met your wife on the dam.
Right! Yes.
You're, uh, you're that witness.
Uh, gosling or godfrey or...
gossett.
Hugh gossett.
Yes.
How can I help, mr. Gossett?
It's not what you can do
for me, doc.
It's what I can do for you.
After you.
wow. Nice place.
I didn't really get a chance
to look around
last time I was here.
Yeah, listen,
I'm a pretty busy man,
mr. Gossett.
I'd appreciate it
if you just got to the point.
I'm sure the cops told you
your wife flew the coop.
I'm aware, yeah.
What do you know about it?
Well, for a while there,
I was her hostage.
That was fun.
Wow!
Nice pool.
I'll bet they charged an arm
and a leg for all this, huh?
Listen, if you know
where my wife is,
you should really
tell the police.
I could.
Do the right thing,
be a hero, all that stuff.
But I don't think
it'd be very good for you.
For me?
Oh, well, all I want
is for karen to get
the help that she needs.
what's so funny?
You.
The "upstanding citizen" act.
I'm have no idea
what you mean.
Your wife's had
total recall, doc.
She remembers everything.
what exactly
did she tell you?
Oh, you know...
About discovering the affair.
About you killing gina
to cover it up,
and then juicing her
to erase her memory.
It's quite a story.
If I were you,
I wouldn't want her blabbing it
to the cops.
That is quite the story.
But the police didn't
believe her the first time,
why would they believe her now?
Yeah, maybe they'd believe her,
maybe they wouldn't.
Either way, I'd bet
you'd sleep better at night
if you could
just get rid of her
and blame it on someone else.
Just like you did with gina.
And it seems to me
that being able
to make that happen
should be worth something.
okay.
Oh, let me see
if I got this straight.
You think
that I killed gina navarro,
and now you're here to, what?
To blackmail me?
Come on.
It's not like
you can't afford it.
Look at this place.
What's a million or so
to a guy like you?
Not much.
Ooh.
What is this?
That's...
Not what it looks like.
Really?
Pretty sure it is.
jordan?
Come out here, sweetie.
jordan?
Ruth?
Ruth! Wake up.
Ms. Croft!
did my husband
do this to you?
Yeah. He made jordan help.
Something's not right
about her.
She's not herself.
You're telling me.
Otto, he... he's crazy.
I... I think
he killed that woman.
I know.
I'm going to handle it.
You need to get out of here
and call the police.
Can you do that?
Yeah.
I owe you
a really big apology.
I did something really stupid.
I understand.
I fell for him, too.
Come on.
-Get out of here.
-Okay.
does she really
need to see this?
See this?
She's gonna do it.
Jordan, honey,
we're gonna play
a little game.
I'm gonna count down from five,
and when I get to one,
I want you to shoot this man.
Now, don't worry...
The bullets aren't real.
No one's actually
gonna get hurt.
Take it.
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
wait a minute.
Five.
Where's my wife?
Mr. Gossett?
You can't seriously expect
to get away with this.
four.
I think I'm doing
pretty good so far.
Three.
Where is she?
As far away from you
as possible.
Two, one. Now.
you did good, sweetheart.
You did so, so good.
The game is not over yet.
Okay?
In a minute,
I want you go
into my counseling room
and I want you
to shoot your friend, ruth.
Okay, and then after that...
I want you to shoot yourself.
Now, again, remember,
it's just a game.
No one will get hurt.
You understand?
Yes.
Good girl.
I love you, sweetie.
Now go.
Now.
jordan? It's me. Mom.
can you hear me, jordan?
Follow my voice, jordan.
Jordan?
Mom?
-Mom!
-Honey.
What happened?
Where am I?
You're home, baby.
You're home.
I think I shot someone.
jordan?
Why don't I hear any gunshots?
well, look at you go,
mr. Gossett!
impressive.
please...
Don't hurt them.
Shut up.
hi, honey.
whoa, whoa.
Just take it easy.
"take it easy"?
After everything you've done,
you want me to take it easy?
Think about your daughter.
Our... our daughter.
Do it, mom.
Kill him.
No. Honey, you don't...
You don't mean that.
You're confused,
okay, sweetheart?
You...
-you son of a bitch!
You made me shoot him!
jordan, no! No, no.
you're both crazy!
ho!
Thank god, you're here.
Dr. Croft, I need you
to stay where you are.
My wife, she's inside.
She's got my daughter
and she's already shot a man.
I don't even know
what she's gonna do next!
I said, stop moving!
didn't you hear what I said?
My daughter is a hostage.
I heard you.
What the hell are you doing?
watch him.
Watch me?
Are you crazy?
Karen!
This is detective chandra.
I need you
to come out of the house
with your hands
where I can see them.
What do we do?
Exactly what she says.
No, I'm not letting him
get away with this!
Jordan! Jordan, wait.
On the ground, now!
Hands behind your head.
My mom didn't do anything.
It was all my dad.
Don't listen to her!
My wife, she-she's working
with that witness, gossett,
they came here
to extort me,
and then we fought,
and-and she tried to shoot me,
and she shot him instead.
Get rid of him.
What?
that's not what happened!
Jordan, honey, it's okay,
just get down.
Do what they say.
It's not right,
we can't just let him
get away with this.
-It's okay.
-Ms. Croft.
Is there anyone else
in the house?
Hugh gossett.
He's been shot.
Search it.
Did it happen
like your husband said?
No.
Then who pulled the trigger?
I did.
No, no, no, no, no.
She's lying.
It was me. I-I...
I was...
I was hypnotized. I didn't...
I didn't mean to. I swear.
I didn't mean to kill him.
We're all gonna
head down to the station.
we have an injured man here.
We need an ambulance, stat.
Did he just say injured?
He's alive.
hey.
How are you?
Healing.
Still sore?
Oh... No complaints.
So how's my best buddy, otto?
cooling his heels in jail.
Nice view.
Yeah.
From this side.
And to think
this is where we first met.
Crazy, huh?
You took a bullet
for jordan and I.
Yeah...
Guess I did, didn't I?
So... Does that get me a date?
Or a dinner, maybe?
I'll take that a yes.
I'm buying.
oh! Okay.
