The Eleventh Victim (2012) - full transcript
Hailey Read has been a Manhattan based therapist for two years. She left her previous job, as an assistant DA with a perfect conviction rate in Atlanta, largely because of her last case. In it, Curtis Burrell Cruise, a failed artist, was convicted as the serial murderer who killed seven women, all strangled and posed post-mortem to resemble famous paintings. Upon the guilty verdict announcement, Cruise tried to strangle Hailey in the courtroom, an event which still haunts her and for which she is still taking anti-anxiety prescription medication. She is hoping that the memory of Cruise will soon dissipate with his imminent execution within the month. However, her anxiety increases when a series of murders begin to occur in New York that resemble the M.O. of Cruise and that have other personal connections to her. She eventually learns through second-hand sources that Cruise is only no longer on death row but was quietly released a few days ago pending a retrial. She is certain Cruise is the perpetrator of these new murders and is working his way to her. Through the process, Hailey, using both her skills as a therapist and lawyer, may discover other behind-the-scenes forces working against her.
"the death of ophelia."
Painted around 1852
By sir john everett millais.
[engine roaring]
You okay?
The painting
depicts ophelia,
A character in
shakespeare's play "hamlet,"
Singing
while floating in a brook,
Just before she drowned
[pleading in terror]
no, please...
[teacher]: Now, millais painted
the background first...
[killer whispers]: Shh.
[teacher]: And then had a model
pose for ophelia.
Does anyone know
who that model was?
Leola?
It's okay.
It's okay...
[sobbing in terror]
[leola]: Elizabeth siddal.
She who modeled for
the pre-raphaelite brotherhood.
She was the woman
In most all of
dante gabriel rossetti's
Earliest paintings.
Very good, leola.
Come on,
put that on.
Put it on.
Come on!
Come on, come on.
Next week, we're going to
move on to georgia o'keefe
And her work
in new mexico.
That's chapter eight
in world art.
Please, don't just
look at it online.
[sobbing]
You're going to be magnificent.
[gasping for air]
Shh...
[sobbing] no...
[strangling and choking]
[soothingly]
it's almost done.
Shh... It's okay.
[choking]
[whimpering
and strangling]
[gasps in fright]
[sighs]
[takes a shaky breath]
[♪]
[shutter clicks]
[door crashes]
Put your hands
where I can see 'em!
Do it now!
Let me see your hands!
[hidden rifles blast]
[groaning in pain]
Go, go, go!
Man down!
Man down!
[wailing sirens approach]
Freeze!
Let me see your hands!
[laughing maniacally]
Get on the ground!
[handcuffs snap shut]
[cocking gun]
Seven women.
Seven innocent young women
Whose families waited for them
to come home,
But they never did,
Because they crossed paths
with cruise.
He fancied himself an artist,
And so, just as he had done
six times before,
Clint burrell cruise
put his signature
On what would be
his final victim,
25-year-old leola sheldon.
But lacking the talent
to create his own art,
He used these women
To recreate the works
Of infinitely
more talented
Men and women.
Goya, moore.
Fuseli,
And, in leola's case,
Millais'
"the death of ophelia."
It's in your hands now.
You are the only voice
those women have.
Please, please,
convict this man.
Return a verdict
that speaks the truth.
Show him the same mercy
that he showed his victims.
None.
Thank you.
Well, it's a nice story,
But I've got
reasonable doubt
On the chain of custody
of the dna evidence.
You know it's not consistent
in all seven cases.
Well, you muddied the water
pretty well,
But I have faith in the jury.
I think I may be about
to hand the great hailey dean
Her first loss.
That would be funny,
Because you gave her
her most wins.
[door opens]
[gavel bangs]
You need to stand.
We find the defendant,
Clint burrell cruise,
Guilty on all seven counts
of murder in the first degree.
[murmuring of shock,
scattered applause]
Don't worry.
I'll get started on your appeal.
I'm sure you will.
You were very good.
I look forward
to seeing you again.
Not where you're going.
[chuckles]
You think you're
sending me to hell?
I think nobody deserves
to go there more than you.
Finch!
How about
I send you to hell first?
[taser crackles]
[screaming]
[gasping for air]
[gasping in fright] no! No!
[breathing hard]
[cheering and applause]
Toast! Toast!
Everybody, settle down.
Okay.
This is particularly
difficult for me,
To say goodbye to a guy
Saved my ass
on more than one occasion.
Garlan fincher,
Who, um,
who has decided
To leave the wilds
of atlanta
For the more pleasant climes
of afghanistan.
[crowd murmurs in shock]
At your age?
Hey, I still got skills.
We know about your skills.
[laughter and hooting]
To our colleague and friend,
Finch,
You will be missed.
-Cheers.
-Cheers.
Cheers.
I'll miss you...
[chatting pleasantly]
Hey.
It's been months
since the trial.
And he's still in my head.
I can't do it anymore, finch.
I'm leaving the da's office.
You can't quit because of
One crazy scumbag.
Try one too many
crazy scumbags.
I want to help people
before they're killed.
You're going back to therapy.
Yeah.
I got an office in manhattan.
New york!
Thanks for always
being there for me, finch.
Hey, I always will be.
You better.
[chuckles]
[♪]
[clears throat]
Doctor.
Doctor.
Have a great day.
You do the same.
Oh, dana.
You're here.
You look shocked.
I'm not always late.
Yes, you are.
Okay, I am.
But last night,
I went out for dinner,
And it was wonderful,
And breakfast was even better.
Nice. Walter?
Walter is so over.
It's justin now.
And he is?
A broker at goldman's.
Just met him
Oh.
Another dating
website, I see.
This one's for people
Looking for
their jewish soulmate.
And you are looking for
your jewish soulmate?
This week, I am.
That's my cup.
Uh, I was, uh,
making it for you.
Oh, uh, celia polaski
is your first patient.
Thanks.
What's the point?
Of what?
Of trying!
If the campbell gallery
Was prepared to show your work,
Then it stands to reason
that another gallery will.
Clayton was my patron
Ever since
I got out of purchase.
He was the only one
that really believed in my art.
He was your champion.
Yeah, but he went ahead
and died
Before we could get the show
off the ground.
You could put a show up
on your own.
How?
All you need
is a space, right?
I have a friend--
Who has a big
home furnishing store
Down on houston.
Maybe you could put
your art up there.
I'm sure she'd be willing
to take a look at your stuff.
You know what,
After we're finished here,
I'll text her.
What if she hates them?
What if she doesn't?
You can't give up
On your art.
It's the thing you do best.
You gave up the law,
And that was the thing
that you did best.
The law was a temporary
detour for me.
This is what I love.
This is what I do best.
Isn't it?
Maybe.
[chuckles]
Thanks.
[pills rattling]
[cell phone chimes]
Hey, finch!
Hey, counselor!
You know I like
that I can still call you that.
What are you
working on today
You can't tell me about?
Same old, same old.
Keeping the world safe
for democracy.
You okay?
Yeah, just...
I had the dream again.
I wake up, and I can't breathe.
I just feel his hands
around my neck, you know?
It's been two years.
You'd think
I'd be over it by now.
The therapist
needs a therapist.
Guess so.
Listen, hail.
When cruise
is executed next month,
You will have closure.
At least I won't have to
see his face anymore.
Excuse me, judge carter?
Mr. Leonard.
What you got there,
matthew?
Petition for a new trial.
I'm eating my lunch here, son.
I know, sir,
and I am sorry about that,
But my client's life
is on the line.
All right, sit down.
Let's see it.
Thank you.
I'm okay, thank you.
Cruise.
Cruise!
What is it?
Someone to see you.
I'm busy.
Well...
Is it enough?
You're asking me my opinion
on my own brief?
I'm asking if you think
this boy is innocent.
You know I can't answer that.
Open 36.
[door locks buzz]
Let's go.
[matt]:
I believe there is proof
That there was inconsistencies
With the dna evidence.
Hell, three cases
got thrown out
Over evidence
that was mishandled
With the exact same
atlanta p.D. Officers.
All right, matthew.
Give me time to read it through.
I'll have a decision
Later today.
Thank you, your honor.
[door locks buzz]
I'll see him
later on today...
It's going to be
at least 90 minutes.
Okay, jenny...
Cruise,
How are you doing?
They drop a needle on me
in three weeks--
How do you think
I'm doing?
Oh, nobody told you.
Okay, listen--
No, man, you listen.
You listen.
I've done everything
that you told me to do.
I waited,
I waited through that trial.
I've been waiting
In that stinking cell.
Why? Because you told me
that everything would be okay.
The appeal--
No more talk of appeals.
I have been listening to you
For two years,
And what do we have
to show for it?
You get
your fancy limousine,
Me, I get
potassium chloride,
So don't you
talk to me--
They're not
executing you.
What?
[bailiff]: Cruise, if you
could just sign here,
We'll get you processed
as quickly as possible.
They're letting you go.
You're a free man.
[chuckles in disbelief]
Where is everybody?
Who?
The tv, reporters,
protesters.
No one knows you're
getting out today.
The court went
along with that?
It's for you own safety.
We keep out of the press
for a few days,
You find
somewhere to stay,
And we make
a new trial date.
There are a lot of people
Who would like to
see you dead, cruise.
Relatives, boyfriends.
They should thank me.
Just watch what you say.
Okay, remember,
you are innocent
Until proven guilty,
Again.
You really did it.
You got me out.
Yeah.
I owe you.
You're damn right.
But she owes me more.
Wait, what are you going to do?
Don't you worry about that.
You just get
that new trial ready.
You can't
leave the state.
Wait a minute--
Cruise--
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay!
You've got
a second chance here, okay?
A real second chance.
You hear me?
Don't screw that up.
I won't screw it up.
[bus engine starts]
[door hisses open]
We'll be stopping here
for a short break in florence.
Please keep
your tickets handy, folks.
[engine stops]
Hi.
[shakes box of matches]
You need a light?
Oh, sure.
[strikes match]
Where you headed,
up to raleigh?
No, my sister in ohio.
You?
New york city.
Hmm. Family?
No. No, no family.
I'm an artist.
I've got a job
that I'm doing.
Wish I was going to new york
instead of columbus.
Oh, god, you'd love it,
you really would.
Beautiful woman like yourself,
I think you'd fit right in.
[chuckling]
Maybe 10 years ago.
Before I had my kids.
No. Are you serious?
You're kidding, right?
You're beautiful.
I don't want to be
inappropriate,
But the graceful lines
Of your neck
and your shoulders is...
Perfect.
How about that?
You really are.
You're like...
You're like botticelli's
"venus," you know?
You know botticelli?
No.
Oh, my goodness,
he's amazing.
What you're saying
sounds great.
Keep going.
Keep going.
[gasps in fright]
[muffled shouts]
[calling out]
[choking and gasping]
You think you can
kill my art, you bitch?
Huh?
You think you can--
My work!
My art's eternal,
you understand that?
[choking]
Don't you understand that?
Don't you understand that?
Why won't you try--
[bus horn blares,
muffling scream]
[daydream fades]
What?
I said, "keep going."
Oh. Yes.
Are you all right?
Thanks.
She's done it again.
I thought the interview
was going well,
But then I hear
my sister's voice in my head.
"you'll screw it up,
You always do."
And I did.
And there was tammy, gloating.
What?
I want to you
to apologize to tammy.
What?
I haven't done
anything to her.
She ruined my whole childhood.
What do I have to
apologize to her for?
She may have made
your childhood terrible,
But it's you
who's giving those memories
So much control
Over your life today.
I mean, it's just
created a wedge
Between you two.
Those kids don't exist anymore.
You can't let your past
Have this much power
over you now.
I'll try.
That's all you can do.
Let me know how it goes.
[♪]
[chains break]
[rebar whooshes through the air]
[rebar clattering distantly]
Perfect.
[typing rapidly]
You have one more
to see today.
What?
No, I don't have anybody else--
6'1", 185 pounds,
Brown hair,
Blue eyes...
-Doctor.
-Doctor.
Ready to get sweaty?
Oh, yeah.
...So little lexi reice says,
"I know, that's why I do it!"
And she launches
her elastic bands
From her braces
Across the room,
Hitting her brother, max,
right in the side of the head.
Oh, he's going to
be in therapy.
I'm sure a lot of
future therapy patients
Get their start
in the dentist's chair.
Yeah, getting
my patients to talk
Is sometimes
like pulling teeth.
Careful,
I'll tell my union.
At least I don't have to
sedate my patients.
Well, often.
[cell phone rings]
Okay, hang on.
Patient emergency?
Uh, no, it's dana.
"how is it going?"
She's very concerned
about my social life.
Hold on.
Shoelace untied.
[lace snaps]
Ugh.
Damn.
[hailey screams]
finch!
[choking]
How about
I send you to hell first?
What's wrong?
Uh, nothing.
I just got
a really bad headache.
Can we call it a night?
Yeah. Okay.
Tammy?
I didn't wake you up, did I?
No, I'm not in any trouble.
I...
I don't need money.
Listen, I just wanted to
say something to you.
I'm sorry.
For what?
For everything.
For blaming you for everything
that's gone wrong in my life.
[laughs]
No, I haven't been drinking.
I'm serious.
I love you,
And I just want us
to be sisters again,
That's all.
So I'll see you at mom's
on Saturday, right?
[chuckles]
Yes, I'll be there this time.
[beeps phone off]
[dials new number]
[chuckles happily]
[hailey's voicemail]:
You have reached
Mid-town therapy.
The office is closed.
Please leave a message.
Doctor dean?
Hailey?
I did what you said, and...
[laughing]
I can't believe
how good I feel right now.
[screaming in terror]
[muffled cries]
[choking and struggling]
[melissa falls silent]
[shutter clicks]
Morning!
Hey.
How was your run?
It was good.
You texted me last night.
What was going on?
I was out at finnegan's
with justin
And needed a rescue.
It's not going well?
All he could talk about
Was his action figure
collection.
On to the next!
Good attitude.
Hold on.
You were the last one
out last night, right?
I totally locked it.
Oh, my god.
Okay, don't touch anything.
-What's going on?
-We've been broken into.
I locked it
when I left, I swear--
Okay,
Just call the police.
Hey.
You going to be
all right?
Yeah, I'm good.
Go ahead and go.
I know you have
patients waiting.
Look, about last night.
I'm sorry if I said anything
that upset you--
No, you were great.
It's just... Headaches,
And the weather change
kind of made it worse.
All right.
Well, if you need me,
you know where I am.
Just across the hall,
torturing children.
Correct.
Just follow the screaming.
Thanks.
Boss?
Yeah?
These gentlemen
are here to see you.
Oh, two detectives.
I must rate.
I'm sorry, have we met before?
Uh, no.
I've just worked
around detectives
Long enough to know
what you look like.
Really?
I didn't think
we were that obvious.
You can't help it.
Okay, so I came in
around 8:45,
Saw the place
was tossed.
The front door was open,
it was unlocked--
Uh, sorry,
excuse me.
We didn't come here
for that.
Then why are you here?
Um...
[clears throat awkwardly]
Do you mind if we talk
alone for a minute, please?
I'll be at my desk.
Not touching anything.
Okay, what do you want,
detective..?
Kolker. Ethan kolker,
Mid-town division.
Uh, miss dean,
A woman was found dead
this morning
In the east side park.
I'm sorry to tell you this,
But the victim was your patient,
melissa everett.
What?
How?
Well,
Do you really--
No, I'd like
to know. How?
She was strangled.
Who would want
to kill melissa?
Well, we were, uh,
Kind of hoping you might
have a little insight.
The last item in her date book
was an appointment with you.
Did you happen
to see her after that?
No. Mm-mm.
Your office was also
the last number
Called from
her cell phone.
Do you mind?
[beeps playback button]
[machine voice]:
You have one new message.
[beep]
[melissa]:
Dr. Dean? Hailey?
I did what you said, and...
[laughs giddily]
I can't believe
how good I feel right now.
[screams of terror]
[static crackling]
[beep]
[clears throat awkwardly]
Uh...
Do you have any idea
what was she talking about?
What was that thing
that you asked her to do?
If you don't mind.
It was just
part of her therapy.
You know that
I don't have to give you
Any information
without a subpoena.
Yeah, I-I know.
Doctor-patient privilege.
I was just kind of hoping
you'd spare me that.
But, all right,
just the facts, then.
What time did she leave here,
do you know?
No, uh...
It will be on
my client calendar.
Which is missing.
I have...
Patient files...
Some of them are missing.
Miss everett's?
Yeah.
So its possible that
the person that broke in here
Wanted that file.
Do you have any back-ups?
I have personal notes at home.
I could go through them
And see if
there's anything in there
That could help you.
Okay. All right.
Thank you.
Here.
My office e-mail's
on there.
So, uh, let me know
if you find anything.
Thank you.
My god.
Melissa.
Who would do
something like that.
Why her?
I wish I knew.
[choking]
[gasps in fright]
[breathing heavily]
What is this?
Names and addresses
Of my patients
whose files are missing.
What about the files?
You're lucky I gave you
that much information
Without their permission.
[clears throat]
So, why did you?
Because I'm worried
about their safety.
What are you going to do
about that?
Uh...
What would you like me to do?
I'd like you to post men
outside my office,
Their homes.
Okay, I'll see what I can do.
Good.
Did you, uh, get a chance
To look at
your personal files?
Did you come up
with any ideas
On who might have wanted
to kill miss everett?
Yes, I looked through my notes.
She never mentioned
anything
About a conflict or a grudge
with anybody.
Except her sister.
So, she had a fight
with her sister?
No, she was just
working through
Some childhood issues.
What about you guys,
have you come up with any leads?
[clears throat awkwardly]
We're, uh...
You know, we're working on a...
Working on a theory.
You like me for this,
Don't you?
Excuse me?
What are you talking about?
You know exactly
what I'm talking about.
You think I killed melissa.
Is there any reason
why I should think that?
Why would I do that?
I don't know.
I'm not a psychologist.
You're not much
of a detective, either.
Hey. Now, there's
no need for that.
You just accused me
of killing a patient,
A friend!
I've done no such thing.
I'm merely doing my job.
That's all.
You, of all, should know
I'd be remiss
If I didn't follow up on
every possibility.
[sighing]
Look, if, uh,
If you can think
of anything else
You might have
forgotten...
Yeah, I'll call you.
I'd like to be kept
in the loop on this, detective.
Of course. I'll be in touch.
Good.
Hi.
Hi.
We need to talk.
Hailey,
the police have been here.
What did they tell you?
They said a patient of yours
was killed,
That it might be
connected
To a break-in
at your office,
That files were taken,
including mine.
Her name was melissa.
I told them, just a day ago,
I thought I saw her leaving
your office as I was coming in.
The day before she...
[fighting tears]
Am I a terrible person
because I was worried
It could have been me?
If someone's coming
after your patients,
They have my file, too.
Celia, that does not mean
That anything
is going to happen to you.
But it could.
I don't have any money
to leave town.
What am I supposed to do?
Listen to me,
You cannot live
your life in fear, okay?
Things like that
don't just happen.
They do.
They happen
all the time, hailey.
[♪]
[crowd murmuring in concern]
[siren wails]
Miss dean?
I'm so sorry,
but there's been a shooting.
[sobbing quietly]
Okay, bring in your art,
And we'll put up a display
next week.
Okay.
Thank you.
[car speeding, horn blares]
Hey!
[muffled screams]
It's okay, it's okay,
it's okay.
It's okay. Shh...
No, no, no, no....
[choking]
It's okay, it's okay,
it's okay.
Shh. Shh. It's okay...
It's okay. It's okay...
Shh, it's okay.
Shh, shh. No, no, no.
[hushing and shushing
as celia falls silent and dies]
[shutter clicking]
I didn't see you
around the office all day.
Yeah, I canceled
my appointments.
I went to some of
my patients' homes,
The ones whose
files were taken.
How did that go?
Well, the men all wanted
referrals for new therapists,
But the women
are sticking with me.
That's great.
Hailey, are you
doing okay?
Adam, you know
when we first met,
I told you
there were some things
That I didn't
want to talk about?
You don't have to.
You know you never have to do
anything you don't want to.
No. I have to.
I...
I was engaged
when I was in college.
Will batten.
And, uh, three weeks
before our wedding...
My whole world changed.
Will was murdered.
Murdered...
A shooting.
He walked in on some guys
robbing our apartment.
Hailey, I'm so sorry.
So I turned to law.
Became a prosecutor.
And why did you stop?
My last case.
Clint burrell cruise.
He was a failed artist,
turned murderer.
He was the worst thing
I ever tried.
He killed seven women.
Strangled them.
My god.
When cruise was convicted,
I realized...
I didn't want to spend my days
looking at crime scenes,
And my nights reading
autopsy reports anymore.
That's when I decided
to come up here
And to do what I had
always wanted to do,
Become a therapist.
I thought that,
you know,
I thought I put all that
pain and death behind me,
But...
Now, with melissa's killing,
All those old feelings
just keep coming up.
Detective kolker.
Excuse me, I'm sorry.
Can I talk to you
for a second?
Can it wait
until tomorrow?
No.
I'm afraid not.
Okay, detective,
what have you got?
I got a second victim.
It's celia poloski.
Celia?
No...
Now, you didn't show up
at work today.
Can you tell me
where you were
For the last
eight hours, please?
I... I saw you,
And I... I went and saw
some patients out of the office,
And adam and I
went to the gym.
Midtown health club.
We signed in,
you can check.
Miss dean,
You mind telling me
where you were
The night
melissa everett was killed?
What the hell
are you saying,
You think she did it?
I care about melissa and celia.
I'm sure you did.
I'm afraid
you're coming with us.
[handcuffs rattle]
[club music plays]
Kevin?
Dana!
It is such a pleasure
To finally meet you.
Yeah.
Your-your emails...
[exhales]
[chuckling]
Yeah.
Wow. May I?
Just... Just...
You need to change
your profile picture.
I do?
Yes, you do.
You absolutely do.
It does not do you justice.
You are absolutely
beautiful.
Wow! Seriously, um...
You're incredible.
I don't think
I would call myself that.
Why not?
I don't understand
Why people don't appreciate
their own appearance.
I mean, you are
exceptionally beautiful.
Trust me, I know.
This is-this is what I do.
I'm an artist.
I-I know
What real beauty is.
You're perfection.
Thank you.
Don't thank me,
thank your mom and dad.
[laughs]
They've got
the genes, right?
Excuse me.
Hi. Can I have
what she's having?
Thank you.
I want to know
everything, okay?
You're an executive
assistant..?
To a therapist.
Wow. That's a good thing,
that's maybe not a good thing.
[laughs]
Tell me about your boss.
She's--
[glasses clinking]
[laughs] cheers.
Cheers.
[remembering finch]:
For every 20 we catch,
Only one will make it to trial.
Most will cut a deal
with the da's office.
I'm not interested in
making deals with criminals.
You're saying you're
going to change
The way the prosecutor's
office works?
That's right.
Does it always
smell like that in here?
You should smell it
in August.
If you make it that long.
I'll be here.
You know, I think you will be.
[door opens]
Miss dean?
That was cute.
What?
Making me wait here
for three hours.
Oh, well, I was...
I was busy.
Hmm.
I think you were
trying to rattle me.
Really?
Did it work?
No.
Okay.
Let's see if this
can shake you up a little.
Miss dean?
Celia poloski,
Melissa everett.
Now, each woman
was killed
Shortly after
meeting with you.
Both these women trusted you.
Kind of makes them easy victims.
That doesn't mean
I killed them.
Both strangled...
And this--
A knot of string,
Tied around their ring finger.
You ever see anything
like this before?
You'd better watch
Your chain of custody
on that evidence, detective.
Come on.
We both know
what this is.
Each woman killed with
the same modus operandi
As your most famous case.
Clint cruise.
Have you checked
his whereabouts?
Yeah.
He's still on death row
in atlanta,
Where you put him.
So, who else could be
so obsessed
With your last case?
I don't know.
You tell me.
I'll ask the questions.
All right, then start.
All I've been hearing is
declaratory statements so far.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Is this moving
too fast for you?
Okay, well,
Let's take miss poloski.
You do admit
That you went to visit her
at her workplace
On the day
that she was murdered.
Yes.
Well, isn't that a little
unusual, miss dean?
'cause, I mean,
I've never had a doctor
Visit me
at work before.
Maybe you've never had a doctor
Who cared
if you got better or not.
You recognize
The positioning
of their bodies.
Famous artwork.
It took a day
to figure these two out.
So frederic leighton's
"flaming June,"
And gustave courbet's
"sleeping woman on a hammock."
What exactly
was the nature
Of your relationship
with miss poloski?
What are you
fishing for, detective?
What, do you get
some sort of sex thrill
Out of it?
Is that what it was for you,
with these women?
Some weird sex thing?
Okay, you know what,
you are a moron.
Why are you wasting time
Interrogating me
When there is
some killer out there
Stalking my patients!
Just calm down, miss dean.
Please.
Okay, you know what,
detective kolker?
I'm in here.
I assume you've worked up
a motive for me?
So, let's hear it.
The psych boys
think you've cracked.
Killed your own patients
Using the exact methods
of cruise,
Who you became obsessed with
during the course of your case.
Huh.
Thin.
You deny having
any emotional problems?
You've been on prescription
antidepressants
Since the trial.
You gonna bring in
half of new york?
There's also
The positioning
of the bodies,
The knot of twine.
Pull string.
Right. From
an artist's pencil.
Stuff only
you would know.
Stuff anybody
who followed the trials
In the atlanta newspaper
would know.
[sighs]
The string was from
a davie wrap charcoal pencil.
You ever own one before?
No.
It was wrapped around
their ring finger,
Like an engagement ring.
You...
You spent
some time in treatment
After your fiance died,
didn't you?
Was murdered.
Wouldn't you?
This is ridiculous.
I just want to say something,
This is
the kind of investigation
That used to make me cringe
when I was a prosecutor.
Your detective over here,
He questioned me
in the restaurant
Without reading me my rights,
So that'll be suppressed
in court for sure.
You guys are familiar with
The "the fruit of
the poisonous tree" concept,
Aren't you?
Yeah. Any evidence
That flows from
illegal beginnings
Is no good?
So, unless you fellas
have any concrete evidence
That links me to these crimes,
I suggest you let me go.
Now.
Not yet.
Do you recognize this?
"hailey, always seeking sanity,
love will."
This pen,
Given to you by your fiance,
Was found
in celia poloski's hand.
This is your pen,
isn't it, miss dean?
Yes.
Can you explain
How it came to be
in the victim's hand
At the time of her death?
No, I can't.
There you go.
Hailey dean,
We're officially charging you
With the murders
of melissa everett
And celia poloski.
Officers?
You'll have time
to look for sanity
On your ride
over to rikers.
You have the right
to remain silent.
If you give up that right,
Anything you say can and will
be held against you
In a court of law...
[handcuffs snap shut]
[sighs heavily]
Phone call?
[mumbles] mm.
You gonna call
your lawyer?
I am a lawyer.
At least, I used to be.
[call ringing]
Come on...
If you know me,
you know where I am,
And that you shouldn't
be calling me now.
The rest of you
can leave a message.
If I live,
I'll call you back.
Finch,
I'm in trouble.
Somebody is screwing with me.
Somebody who knows my past.
And it has to do with
the cruise case.
Call dana in my office.
She knows where I am.
You're very good.
He had to be there.
He's here.
Okay, I've got to talk to
detective kolker--
You got your phone call.
No, you don't
understand--
No, all I know is
you've been processed
And I have to take you
back to your cell--
No, listen to me,
it's really important.
Can you just
give him a message?
I'll pass it along.
Let's go.
[punching in number]
[ringing]
[voice over intercom]: Hello?
Hello!
I've got a package here
for hailey dean,
But I can't read
this suite number.
[voice]: Miss dean's in 506.
506!
Listen, you want me
to leave it out here?
Out front?
[voice]:
I'll buzz you in, sir.
Thank you.
[door locks buzz]
Open 10.
[door locks buzz]
[sniffing]
[muttering]: Hailey...
E is.
What?
How? When?
Four days ago.
[scoffs in disbelief]
Atlanta doj had
a gag order on it
Because of
the death threats.
They just released
this information.
Right now we're waiting
for a report
On his current whereabouts
from his parole officer.
So, that would make him
Prime suspect
in these homicides, right?
Yes, it would.
And the city of new york
Is officially sorry
For their mistake.
[clears throat awkwardly]
Why don't you just walk me
to the door, detective--
Whoa, whoa, wait.
Wait a minute.
Just one more thing.
What?
How did your pen
end up at the crime scene?
I lost that pen years ago
at cruise's trial.
He must have picked it up,
Put it by celia's body,
sending a message.
A message?
Not for you, for me.
He's coming after me.
Are you okay?
Uh, yeah, thank you
for coming to get me.
Well, it's beats hearing
little debbie greene wail
While I drill her teeth.
My hero.
Chivalry is not dead.
I guess not.
Take you home?
Let me just stop by
my house first,
Then I need to go
to the office.
Are you sure?
Yeah, I have work to do.
Okay.
Keep the change.
Hey, can I come in?
No, I'm okay.
Oh. Okay.
Adam, I think it would be best
If you stayed away from me
for a while.
Look, if somebody
is targeting my patients,
Then nobody in my life is safe.
Well, what are the police
going to do about it?
I've asked for
surveillance.
Hailey,
I'm worried about you.
Don't be.
I can handle it, okay?
I just...
I just don't want you
to get involved in this.
I am involved, lady,
And until the police give you
some protection,
I'm not letting you
out of my sight.
Thank you.
I'll just be
another minute, okay?
Get yourself a drink.
Thanks.
Damn it, fincher,
where are you?
[dialing rapidly]
[cell phone rings]
Hailey dean?
How's life in the big apple?
Who let cruise out of jail?
Well, he was
granted a new trial on appeal.
You did that?
I was doing my job.
He's a killer, matt.
Well, the judge didn't agree.
He tried to kill me
In open court.
Why didn't anybody inform me?
[sighs]
God, hailey, look,
Someone from the da's office
should have contacted you.
At the very least, matt,
You should have called me.
You're right. I'm sorry.
Look, where is he now?
Unknown.
He didn't report in
to his parole officer.
Well,
We have two homicides here
that match his m.O.
My god.
You think it's him.
I think he's playing
some sick game with me.
Okay, what can I do from here?
The police
are dragging their feet
On getting me
an order of protection.
I'll call, see what I can do.
Okay.
Midtown division.
Detective kolker.
Kolker. Got it.
I'll call right away.
Thanks.
[beeps phone off]
[remembering finch]:
Okay, like I showed you.
[shots blasting]
Don't aim for the head,
You're not freaking
annie oakley.
Aim between the belly
and the neck,
And keep shooting
Until he goes down.
I don't even know
why I'm doing this.
I have you.
You're a prosecutor.
There's gonna be people
that want to hurt you,
And I'm not going to be around
all the time.
Again.
Reload.
Finch...
In the marines...
Yeah?
You killed people, right?
Because I had to.
Not because I wanted to.
I don't know
if I could do that.
If you had been there...
Will?
Could you have pulled
the trigger to save his life?
To save a life?
Yeah. I could kill.
You just have to remember,
Nobody wants to kill--
Except the people
you prosecute.
Again.
[shots blasting]
All set.
Are you sure you want to
go to the office today?
Yeah, I'm sure.
All right, well,
I'm just down the hall
If you need me.
Okay.
Dinner tonight?
Asti's?
Yeah. I'll meet you there.
I can walk you there.
It's okay.
It's just across the street.
I'll be fine.
Okay.
Okay.
Oh, my god, hail,
are you okay?
Yeah.
I got your message.
I canceled everyone
on the schedule today.
Oh, hey,
I went out with
that guy, kevin, last night.
I had the best time--
Dana, it's not
that I don't care.
It's just that
I don't have time right now.
[♪]
[knocks hesitantly]
Yeah?
Can I go now?
Oh. Yeah, I'm sorry.
I didn't know
you were still here.
I'm supposed to see kevin--
You don't want to see him,
I forgot.
I'm sorry, dana.
I've just been really busy.
Kevin... Are you happy?
Yeah.
He really appreciates
what's special about me,
And I've never been
with an artist before.
An artist?
Yeah, he even drew me.
Can you imagine?
Like how leo drew kate,
Except in my apartment,
not on the titanic.
Show me.
The picture?
I kinda didn't have
any clothes on--
Him.
Show me him.
That's kevin.
Dana.
I want you to go to
midtown police station, okay?
I want you to see
detective kolker.
You remember the man
that came here the other day?
And do what?
Show him this.
Stay there with him,
don't go home.
Don't go anywhere else,
Do you understand me?
I don't understand.
Listen to me,
I don't want you texting kevin.
I don't want you calling him--
You're scaring me!
You should be scared.
He is not who you think he is.
He is extremely dangerous, okay?
Go to the police station. Go.
[dialing rapidly]
Detective kolker.
No. Can you get him?
No, don't give me
his voice mail.
Give him this message, okay?
Personally.
Tell him to call hailey dean.
Important?
Life or death.
No...
No.
No...
[screams]
No, no--
[muffled screams]
[shushing her impatiently]
Shh, shh...
[hailey falls silent]
Shh...
Hello, counsellor.
Good.
Very good.
Should I put in
the rollatini?
Just give her
a few more minutes.
[dialing number]
[cell phone rings nearby]
[groans groggily]
[cell phone's ring sharpens]
[gasps in horror]
[struggling]
If it's important...
I'm sure
they'll leave a message.
Found this.
A smith and wesson
chiefs special.
I thought guns
weren't your style.
I prefer a brush, that's true,
But different tools
For different jobs.
I've always fancied myself
more of a renaissance man.
But I've also always felt
That every artist
should be able to adapt.
I can be whoever I want to be.
You sure can't be an artist.
I've seen your work.
What is that supposed to be?
You like it?
This is my passion.
This,
This is my magnum opus.
Look at this.
This...
This, miss dean,
This is my masterpiece.
"the death of cleopatra."
And I'm supposed to be
cleopatra?
It's my art.
You're a part of my art--
No, I don't want to be
a part of your art.
You're a hack, and you know it.
What do you know?
You and...
And your fancy cars
And your penthouse suites...
The purpose of life,
miss dean...
Is to leave
behind something
That proved
you were here.
Well, this is mine!
No...
No, no, no, dana.
Dana, dana...
Oh, no.
Why did you have to kill her?
This was about me.
Why did you have to kill her--
To hurt you!
I thought
it was hilarious
That the police,
those stupid cops,
Actually pulled you in.
[laughs]
When I think about...
All those people
You put away for life.
About what a bonus,
You know,
The grand and glorious
hailey dean,
Actually spending some time
behind bars herself.
How did that feel?
Anybody who I put in jail
was guilty,
Including you--
Who are you to judge me?
[whimpering in terror]
When I am finished,
You'll understand.
[mumbling in protest]
[choking and strangling]
[gasping in terror]
[choking and gasping]
[screaming in pain]
[chair smashing]
[screams, kicks thud]
[ripping off tape]
You're a real ball-buster, dean!
[laughing]
I'll give you that.
Whoo!
[laughing in triumph]
[smashing panel]
[breathing hard]
[whistles, teasing]
There's no sense
In delaying the inevitable
any longer!
You should thank me, you know!
You and me,
I'd say we had this...
This date coming
for a very long time.
Hailey!
You're beautiful,
Just like all those
other women!
They thought
they were beautiful!
Thought they knew
what love meant!
But they were wrong!
It's just some
Shallow misunderstanding
Of the transient value
of their flesh!
I showed them what
real beauty is.
Forever beauty,
eternal beauty.
Now the world
will always remember them.
They'll never forget them.
I gave them forever!
I can give you
that gift.
The world
will never forget them!
They'll never grow old!
Today's your day!
[stabbing]
[groaning in pain]
[shot blasts]
[groaning]
I don't plan on dying
anytime soon.
There will be more.
We're not finished.
What "we"?
You can't stop us.
You can't stop us...
[sirens wailing]
Hey.
You got him.
What?
It's over.
You got him.
Yeah.
I guess so.
Miss dean.
You want to tell me
what happened?
Caught your killer.
You're welcome.
[chuckles ruefully]
I'm still gonna need
a full statement in my office.
Tomorrow morning.
I know how to find you.
Listen, uh, miss dean,
I wanted to say,
I...
I just want you to know
that I'm very sorry for...
You know,
everything I put you through.
And, uh...
I think this belongs to you.
What?
I'm just, I'm just
happy you're alive.
Hailey?
In here!
Hailey,
I'm so glad
you could see me.
My god, so,
you're okay, then?
Oh, yeah.
Have a seat.
I heard about your
harrowing ordeal.
I'm just glad
you made it.
Have you talked to cruise yet?
No. He still can't talk.
He's lost a lot of blood,
But...
He's going to make it.
That's too bad.
It would have been
easier for you if he didn't.
What do you mean?
The extradition.
It's going to be
a tough one, right?
Yeah.
New york and atlanta
both want him.
It'll be ugly,
But I guess I'll just
work it out.
Yeah, you always do.
Anyway, hailey, like I said,
I'm just glad
he didn't hurt you--
Before cruise passed out,
he said something.
He said,
"we gave them immortality."
"we."
Why would he say that?
Because cruise is crazy.
He... He thought
of himself as royalty.
You know, he would use
the imperial "we."
He was always referring
to himself in the third person.
I don't think so.
You want to hear my theory?
I think he had an accomplice.
I think he had somebody
That made it possible
for him to kill.
Somebody that knew the system.
Somebody who killed with him,
protected him.
And cruise told you this?
Hailey, he's trying
to confuse you.
Obfuscate.
No, matt,
that's what you do.
You would have
gotten away with it,
If it hadn't been...
For this--
Cruise planted my pen
at one of the crime scenes.
There's no way
He could have gotten it
out of the courtroom that day
Undetected.
He went to jail
and they searched him.
That leaves you.
You're the only one
Who could have
picked it up that day.
I remember the look
I saw on your face
When the verdict was read--
I didn't realize it
at the time,
But you were happy.
You wanted him convicted.
You gave cruise my pen.
[scoffing in indignation]
Okay, look.
He just...
Wanted a souvenir.
You gave cruise my pen
Because you were his partner.
Prove it.
You were his lawyer
on an assault rap 10 years ago.
His first arrest.
It was some hooker.
I was preparing his defense
and he just...
Admitted that
he was trying
To work up the nerve
to kill her.
Then he started
talking about his theory,
The great works of art--
But you thought
You would teach him
better, huh?
[shutter clicks]
[shutter clicks]
It's perfect.
Let's go.
[hailey]: You teamed up.
You'd love to try
and prove that, wouldn't you?
I will.
Actually,
I'm thinking about
coming out of retirement
Just to try both of you.
Cruise for dana,
melissa and celia.
And you,
for the other seven women
You guys killed
in atlanta.
How exactly?
You don't have
any hard evidence against me.
Cruise does, though.
He threatened
to go public with it
If you didn't get him
out of jail.
So you got him out of jail.
But you still
had a problem.
A new trial
might turn up some dna
That belongs to you
on those the crime scenes.
So you had to
kill cruise.
But first,
you needed him to kill me.
Wow.
I would love to see you
try to make that fly in court.
Only problem is,
cruise isn't dead.
I'm pretty sure
I can convince him
That he shouldn't
take the fall on this
Alone again.
Another round
of dna testing, matt,
You're done.
[sucks teeth resignedly]
Well, that's too bad.
You know...
I started off...
With small animals.
Then I progressed
to young girls,
Just homeless, so...
You know what I find
fascinating?
Is what you can get away with
in society
When you make
more than 200k a year.
It's like...
People just want to trust you.
So, what,
you're going to kill me
Right here in my office?
What's the narrative
on that?
[voice heavy with tears]
it's really quite sad, officer.
I mean, I came in here,
and she just got violent.
She blamed me
for her patients' deaths.
And, uh, I mean,
I was the one that
got cruise his appeal,
And I guess
she was overcome
With grief, or guilt, or...
I mean, she attacked me.
Then she pulls out this gun,
and there's a struggle,
And it just--
It just went off.
Nobody's going
to buy that.
Oh, angel,
I'm a lawyer, remember?
You're a killer.
Yeah, well,
There's no sense
in denying that now.
Only you and I
are going to know...
You are the 11th victim.
[shots blasting]
[groaning in pain]
You okay?
Yeah.
I think I'm deaf.
But alive.
[groaning]
Did you get all that?
Are you kidding me?
Clearest confession
I ever recorded.
[sighs]
Thank you, judge,
for the warrant.
Pick him up.
You got the right
to remain silent.
If you give up that right,
Anything you say
Can and will
be used against you
In a court of law.
If you don't have an attorney,
on will be assigned to you.
Took you long enough.
I had to travel 7,000 miles
In the back
of a transport plane.
Cut me some slack.
Slack cut.
So, what are you going to do?
You ready to go back to law?
Maybe.
But first,
I have an appointment
with my dentist.
Your dentist?
Yeah.
Thanks.
I just have to
put something away,
Then I'm all yours.
[♪]
[monitors beep steadily]
[telephone rings]
Detective kolker.
What?
When?
Cruise escaped!
He killed a doctor.
Listen up!
I need an apb
for clinton burrell cruise!
Extremely dangerous!
[sirens wail past]

Painted around 1852
By sir john everett millais.
[engine roaring]
You okay?
The painting
depicts ophelia,
A character in
shakespeare's play "hamlet,"
Singing
while floating in a brook,
Just before she drowned
[pleading in terror]
no, please...
[teacher]: Now, millais painted
the background first...
[killer whispers]: Shh.
[teacher]: And then had a model
pose for ophelia.
Does anyone know
who that model was?
Leola?
It's okay.
It's okay...
[sobbing in terror]
[leola]: Elizabeth siddal.
She who modeled for
the pre-raphaelite brotherhood.
She was the woman
In most all of
dante gabriel rossetti's
Earliest paintings.
Very good, leola.
Come on,
put that on.
Put it on.
Come on!
Come on, come on.
Next week, we're going to
move on to georgia o'keefe
And her work
in new mexico.
That's chapter eight
in world art.
Please, don't just
look at it online.
[sobbing]
You're going to be magnificent.
[gasping for air]
Shh...
[sobbing] no...
[strangling and choking]
[soothingly]
it's almost done.
Shh... It's okay.

[shutter clicks]

Put your hands
where I can see 'em!
Do it now!
Let me see your hands!

Go, go, go!
Man down!
Man down!
[wailing sirens approach]
Freeze!
Let me see your hands!
[laughing maniacally]
Get on the ground!
[handcuffs snap shut]
[cocking gun]
Seven women.
Seven innocent young women
Whose families waited for them
to come home,
But they never did,
Because they crossed paths
with cruise.
He fancied himself an artist,
And so, just as he had done
six times before,
Clint burrell cruise
put his signature
On what would be
his final victim,
25-year-old leola sheldon.
But lacking the talent
to create his own art,
He used these women
To recreate the works
Of infinitely
more talented
Men and women.
Goya, moore.
Fuseli,
And, in leola's case,
Millais'
"the death of ophelia."
It's in your hands now.
You are the only voice
those women have.
Please, please,
convict this man.
Return a verdict
that speaks the truth.
Show him the same mercy
that he showed his victims.
None.
Thank you.
Well, it's a nice story,
But I've got
reasonable doubt
On the chain of custody
of the dna evidence.
You know it's not consistent
in all seven cases.
Well, you muddied the water
pretty well,
But I have faith in the jury.
I think I may be about
to hand the great hailey dean
Her first loss.
That would be funny,
Because you gave her
her most wins.
[door opens]
[gavel bangs]
You need to stand.
We find the defendant,
Clint burrell cruise,
Guilty on all seven counts
of murder in the first degree.
[murmuring of shock,
scattered applause]
Don't worry.
I'll get started on your appeal.
I'm sure you will.
You were very good.
I look forward
to seeing you again.
Not where you're going.
[chuckles]
You think you're
sending me to hell?
I think nobody deserves
to go there more than you.
Finch!
How about
I send you to hell first?
[taser crackles]
[screaming]
[gasping for air]
[gasping in fright] no! No!
[breathing hard]
[cheering and applause]
Toast! Toast!
Everybody, settle down.
Okay.
This is particularly
difficult for me,
To say goodbye to a guy
Saved my ass
on more than one occasion.
Garlan fincher,
Who, um,
who has decided
To leave the wilds
of atlanta
For the more pleasant climes
of afghanistan.
[crowd murmurs in shock]
At your age?
Hey, I still got skills.
We know about your skills.
[laughter and hooting]
To our colleague and friend,
Finch,
You will be missed.
-Cheers.
-Cheers.
Cheers.
I'll miss you...
[chatting pleasantly]
Hey.
It's been months
since the trial.
And he's still in my head.
I can't do it anymore, finch.
I'm leaving the da's office.
You can't quit because of
One crazy scumbag.
Try one too many
crazy scumbags.
I want to help people
before they're killed.
You're going back to therapy.
Yeah.
I got an office in manhattan.
New york!
Thanks for always
being there for me, finch.
Hey, I always will be.
You better.
[chuckles]
[♪]
[clears throat]
Doctor.
Doctor.
Have a great day.
You do the same.
Oh, dana.
You're here.
You look shocked.
I'm not always late.
Yes, you are.
Okay, I am.
But last night,
I went out for dinner,
And it was wonderful,
And breakfast was even better.
Nice. Walter?
Walter is so over.
It's justin now.
And he is?
A broker at goldman's.
Just met him
Oh.
Another dating
website, I see.
This one's for people
Looking for
their jewish soulmate.
And you are looking for
your jewish soulmate?
This week, I am.
That's my cup.
Uh, I was, uh,
making it for you.
Oh, uh, celia polaski
is your first patient.
Thanks.
What's the point?
Of what?
Of trying!
If the campbell gallery
Was prepared to show your work,
Then it stands to reason
that another gallery will.
Clayton was my patron
Ever since
I got out of purchase.
He was the only one
that really believed in my art.
He was your champion.
Yeah, but he went ahead
and died
Before we could get the show
off the ground.
You could put a show up
on your own.
How?
All you need
is a space, right?
I have a friend--
Who has a big
home furnishing store
Down on houston.
Maybe you could put
your art up there.
I'm sure she'd be willing
to take a look at your stuff.
You know what,
After we're finished here,
I'll text her.
What if she hates them?
What if she doesn't?
You can't give up
On your art.
It's the thing you do best.
You gave up the law,
And that was the thing
that you did best.
The law was a temporary
detour for me.
This is what I love.
This is what I do best.
Isn't it?
Maybe.
[chuckles]
Thanks.
[pills rattling]
[cell phone chimes]
Hey, finch!
Hey, counselor!
You know I like
that I can still call you that.
What are you
working on today
You can't tell me about?
Same old, same old.
Keeping the world safe
for democracy.
You okay?
Yeah, just...
I had the dream again.
I wake up, and I can't breathe.
I just feel his hands
around my neck, you know?
It's been two years.
You'd think
I'd be over it by now.
The therapist
needs a therapist.
Guess so.
Listen, hail.
When cruise
is executed next month,
You will have closure.
At least I won't have to
see his face anymore.
Excuse me, judge carter?
Mr. Leonard.
What you got there,
matthew?
Petition for a new trial.
I'm eating my lunch here, son.
I know, sir,
and I am sorry about that,
But my client's life
is on the line.
All right, sit down.
Let's see it.
Thank you.
I'm okay, thank you.
Cruise.
Cruise!
What is it?
Someone to see you.
I'm busy.
Well...
Is it enough?
You're asking me my opinion
on my own brief?
I'm asking if you think
this boy is innocent.
You know I can't answer that.
Open 36.
[door locks buzz]
Let's go.
[matt]:
I believe there is proof
That there was inconsistencies
With the dna evidence.
Hell, three cases
got thrown out
Over evidence
that was mishandled
With the exact same
atlanta p.D. Officers.
All right, matthew.
Give me time to read it through.
I'll have a decision
Later today.
Thank you, your honor.
[door locks buzz]
I'll see him
later on today...
It's going to be
at least 90 minutes.
Okay, jenny...
Cruise,
How are you doing?
They drop a needle on me
in three weeks--
How do you think
I'm doing?
Oh, nobody told you.
Okay, listen--
No, man, you listen.
You listen.
I've done everything
that you told me to do.
I waited,
I waited through that trial.
I've been waiting
In that stinking cell.
Why? Because you told me
that everything would be okay.
The appeal--
No more talk of appeals.
I have been listening to you
For two years,
And what do we have
to show for it?
You get
your fancy limousine,
Me, I get
potassium chloride,
So don't you
talk to me--
They're not
executing you.
What?
[bailiff]: Cruise, if you
could just sign here,
We'll get you processed
as quickly as possible.
They're letting you go.
You're a free man.
[chuckles in disbelief]
Where is everybody?
Who?
The tv, reporters,
protesters.
No one knows you're
getting out today.
The court went
along with that?
It's for you own safety.
We keep out of the press
for a few days,
You find
somewhere to stay,
And we make
a new trial date.
There are a lot of people
Who would like to
see you dead, cruise.
Relatives, boyfriends.
They should thank me.
Just watch what you say.
Okay, remember,
you are innocent
Until proven guilty,
Again.
You really did it.
You got me out.
Yeah.
I owe you.
You're damn right.
But she owes me more.
Wait, what are you going to do?
Don't you worry about that.
You just get
that new trial ready.
You can't
leave the state.
Wait a minute--
Cruise--
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay!
You've got
a second chance here, okay?
A real second chance.
You hear me?
Don't screw that up.
I won't screw it up.
[bus engine starts]
[door hisses open]
We'll be stopping here
for a short break in florence.
Please keep
your tickets handy, folks.
[engine stops]
Hi.
[shakes box of matches]
You need a light?
Oh, sure.
[strikes match]
Where you headed,
up to raleigh?
No, my sister in ohio.
You?
New york city.
Hmm. Family?
No. No, no family.
I'm an artist.
I've got a job
that I'm doing.
Wish I was going to new york
instead of columbus.
Oh, god, you'd love it,
you really would.
Beautiful woman like yourself,
I think you'd fit right in.
[chuckling]
Maybe 10 years ago.
Before I had my kids.
No. Are you serious?
You're kidding, right?
You're beautiful.
I don't want to be
inappropriate,
But the graceful lines
Of your neck
and your shoulders is...
Perfect.
How about that?
You really are.
You're like...
You're like botticelli's
"venus," you know?
You know botticelli?
No.
Oh, my goodness,
he's amazing.
What you're saying
sounds great.
Keep going.
Keep going.
[gasps in fright]
[muffled shouts]
[calling out]
[choking and gasping]
You think you can
kill my art, you bitch?
Huh?
You think you can--
My work!
My art's eternal,
you understand that?
[choking]
Don't you understand that?
Don't you understand that?
Why won't you try--
[bus horn blares,
muffling scream]
[daydream fades]
What?
I said, "keep going."
Oh. Yes.
Are you all right?
Thanks.
She's done it again.
I thought the interview
was going well,
But then I hear
my sister's voice in my head.
"you'll screw it up,
You always do."
And I did.
And there was tammy, gloating.
What?
I want to you
to apologize to tammy.
What?
I haven't done
anything to her.
She ruined my whole childhood.
What do I have to
apologize to her for?
She may have made
your childhood terrible,
But it's you
who's giving those memories
So much control
Over your life today.
I mean, it's just
created a wedge
Between you two.
Those kids don't exist anymore.
You can't let your past
Have this much power
over you now.
I'll try.
That's all you can do.
Let me know how it goes.
[♪]
[chains break]
[rebar whooshes through the air]
[rebar clattering distantly]
Perfect.
[typing rapidly]
You have one more
to see today.
What?
No, I don't have anybody else--
6'1", 185 pounds,
Brown hair,
Blue eyes...
-Doctor.
-Doctor.
Ready to get sweaty?
Oh, yeah.
...So little lexi reice says,
"I know, that's why I do it!"
And she launches
her elastic bands
From her braces
Across the room,
Hitting her brother, max,
right in the side of the head.
Oh, he's going to
be in therapy.
I'm sure a lot of
future therapy patients
Get their start
in the dentist's chair.
Yeah, getting
my patients to talk
Is sometimes
like pulling teeth.
Careful,
I'll tell my union.
At least I don't have to
sedate my patients.
Well, often.
[cell phone rings]
Okay, hang on.
Patient emergency?
Uh, no, it's dana.
"how is it going?"
She's very concerned
about my social life.
Hold on.
Shoelace untied.
[lace snaps]
Ugh.
Damn.
[hailey screams]
finch!
[choking]
How about
I send you to hell first?
What's wrong?
Uh, nothing.
I just got
a really bad headache.
Can we call it a night?
Yeah. Okay.
Tammy?
I didn't wake you up, did I?
No, I'm not in any trouble.
I...
I don't need money.
Listen, I just wanted to
say something to you.
I'm sorry.
For what?
For everything.
For blaming you for everything
that's gone wrong in my life.
[laughs]
No, I haven't been drinking.
I'm serious.
I love you,
And I just want us
to be sisters again,
That's all.
So I'll see you at mom's
on Saturday, right?
[chuckles]
Yes, I'll be there this time.
[beeps phone off]
[dials new number]
[chuckles happily]
[hailey's voicemail]:
You have reached
Mid-town therapy.
The office is closed.
Please leave a message.
Doctor dean?
Hailey?
I did what you said, and...
[laughing]
I can't believe
how good I feel right now.
[screaming in terror]
[muffled cries]
[choking and struggling]
[melissa falls silent]
[shutter clicks]
Morning!
Hey.
How was your run?
It was good.
You texted me last night.
What was going on?
I was out at finnegan's
with justin
And needed a rescue.
It's not going well?
All he could talk about
Was his action figure
collection.
On to the next!
Good attitude.
Hold on.
You were the last one
out last night, right?
I totally locked it.
Oh, my god.
Okay, don't touch anything.
-What's going on?
-We've been broken into.
I locked it
when I left, I swear--
Okay,
Just call the police.
Hey.
You going to be
all right?
Yeah, I'm good.
Go ahead and go.
I know you have
patients waiting.
Look, about last night.
I'm sorry if I said anything
that upset you--
No, you were great.
It's just... Headaches,
And the weather change
kind of made it worse.
All right.
Well, if you need me,
you know where I am.
Just across the hall,
torturing children.
Correct.
Just follow the screaming.
Thanks.
Boss?
Yeah?
These gentlemen
are here to see you.
Oh, two detectives.
I must rate.
I'm sorry, have we met before?
Uh, no.
I've just worked
around detectives
Long enough to know
what you look like.
Really?
I didn't think
we were that obvious.
You can't help it.
Okay, so I came in
around 8:45,
Saw the place
was tossed.
The front door was open,
it was unlocked--
Uh, sorry,
excuse me.
We didn't come here
for that.
Then why are you here?
Um...
[clears throat awkwardly]
Do you mind if we talk
alone for a minute, please?
I'll be at my desk.
Not touching anything.
Okay, what do you want,
detective..?
Kolker. Ethan kolker,
Mid-town division.
Uh, miss dean,
A woman was found dead
this morning
In the east side park.
I'm sorry to tell you this,
But the victim was your patient,
melissa everett.
What?
How?
Well,
Do you really--
No, I'd like
to know. How?
She was strangled.
Who would want
to kill melissa?
Well, we were, uh,
Kind of hoping you might
have a little insight.
The last item in her date book
was an appointment with you.
Did you happen
to see her after that?
No. Mm-mm.
Your office was also
the last number
Called from
her cell phone.
Do you mind?
[beeps playback button]
[machine voice]:
You have one new message.
[beep]
[melissa]:
Dr. Dean? Hailey?
I did what you said, and...
[laughs giddily]
I can't believe
how good I feel right now.
[screams of terror]
[static crackling]
[beep]
[clears throat awkwardly]
Uh...
Do you have any idea
what was she talking about?
What was that thing
that you asked her to do?
If you don't mind.
It was just
part of her therapy.
You know that
I don't have to give you
Any information
without a subpoena.
Yeah, I-I know.
Doctor-patient privilege.
I was just kind of hoping
you'd spare me that.
But, all right,
just the facts, then.
What time did she leave here,
do you know?
No, uh...
It will be on
my client calendar.
Which is missing.
I have...
Patient files...
Some of them are missing.
Miss everett's?
Yeah.
So its possible that
the person that broke in here
Wanted that file.
Do you have any back-ups?
I have personal notes at home.
I could go through them
And see if
there's anything in there
That could help you.
Okay. All right.
Thank you.
Here.
My office e-mail's
on there.
So, uh, let me know
if you find anything.
Thank you.
My god.
Melissa.
Who would do
something like that.
Why her?
I wish I knew.
[choking]
[gasps in fright]
[breathing heavily]
What is this?
Names and addresses
Of my patients
whose files are missing.
What about the files?
You're lucky I gave you
that much information
Without their permission.
[clears throat]
So, why did you?
Because I'm worried
about their safety.
What are you going to do
about that?
Uh...
What would you like me to do?
I'd like you to post men
outside my office,
Their homes.
Okay, I'll see what I can do.
Good.
Did you, uh, get a chance
To look at
your personal files?
Did you come up
with any ideas
On who might have wanted
to kill miss everett?
Yes, I looked through my notes.
She never mentioned
anything
About a conflict or a grudge
with anybody.
Except her sister.
So, she had a fight
with her sister?
No, she was just
working through
Some childhood issues.
What about you guys,
have you come up with any leads?
[clears throat awkwardly]
We're, uh...
You know, we're working on a...
Working on a theory.
You like me for this,
Don't you?
Excuse me?
What are you talking about?
You know exactly
what I'm talking about.
You think I killed melissa.
Is there any reason
why I should think that?
Why would I do that?
I don't know.
I'm not a psychologist.
You're not much
of a detective, either.
Hey. Now, there's
no need for that.
You just accused me
of killing a patient,
A friend!
I've done no such thing.
I'm merely doing my job.
That's all.
You, of all, should know
I'd be remiss
If I didn't follow up on
every possibility.
[sighing]
Look, if, uh,
If you can think
of anything else
You might have
forgotten...
Yeah, I'll call you.
I'd like to be kept
in the loop on this, detective.
Of course. I'll be in touch.
Good.
Hi.
Hi.
We need to talk.
Hailey,
the police have been here.
What did they tell you?
They said a patient of yours
was killed,
That it might be
connected
To a break-in
at your office,
That files were taken,
including mine.
Her name was melissa.
I told them, just a day ago,
I thought I saw her leaving
your office as I was coming in.
The day before she...
[fighting tears]
Am I a terrible person
because I was worried
It could have been me?
If someone's coming
after your patients,
They have my file, too.
Celia, that does not mean
That anything
is going to happen to you.
But it could.
I don't have any money
to leave town.
What am I supposed to do?
Listen to me,
You cannot live
your life in fear, okay?
Things like that
don't just happen.
They do.
They happen
all the time, hailey.
[♪]
[crowd murmuring in concern]
[siren wails]
Miss dean?
I'm so sorry,
but there's been a shooting.
[sobbing quietly]
Okay, bring in your art,
And we'll put up a display
next week.
Okay.
Thank you.
[car speeding, horn blares]
Hey!
[muffled screams]
It's okay, it's okay,
it's okay.
It's okay. Shh...
No, no, no, no....
[choking]
It's okay, it's okay,
it's okay.
Shh. Shh. It's okay...
It's okay. It's okay...
Shh, it's okay.
Shh, shh. No, no, no.
[hushing and shushing
as celia falls silent and dies]
[shutter clicking]
I didn't see you
around the office all day.
Yeah, I canceled
my appointments.
I went to some of
my patients' homes,
The ones whose
files were taken.
How did that go?
Well, the men all wanted
referrals for new therapists,
But the women
are sticking with me.
That's great.
Hailey, are you
doing okay?
Adam, you know
when we first met,
I told you
there were some things
That I didn't
want to talk about?
You don't have to.
You know you never have to do
anything you don't want to.
No. I have to.
I...
I was engaged
when I was in college.
Will batten.
And, uh, three weeks
before our wedding...
My whole world changed.
Will was murdered.
Murdered...
A shooting.
He walked in on some guys
robbing our apartment.
Hailey, I'm so sorry.
So I turned to law.
Became a prosecutor.
And why did you stop?
My last case.
Clint burrell cruise.
He was a failed artist,
turned murderer.
He was the worst thing
I ever tried.
He killed seven women.
Strangled them.
My god.
When cruise was convicted,
I realized...
I didn't want to spend my days
looking at crime scenes,
And my nights reading
autopsy reports anymore.
That's when I decided
to come up here
And to do what I had
always wanted to do,
Become a therapist.
I thought that,
you know,
I thought I put all that
pain and death behind me,
But...
Now, with melissa's killing,
All those old feelings
just keep coming up.
Detective kolker.
Excuse me, I'm sorry.
Can I talk to you
for a second?
Can it wait
until tomorrow?
No.
I'm afraid not.
Okay, detective,
what have you got?
I got a second victim.
It's celia poloski.
Celia?
No...
Now, you didn't show up
at work today.
Can you tell me
where you were
For the last
eight hours, please?
I... I saw you,
And I... I went and saw
some patients out of the office,
And adam and I
went to the gym.
Midtown health club.
We signed in,
you can check.
Miss dean,
You mind telling me
where you were
The night
melissa everett was killed?
What the hell
are you saying,
You think she did it?
I care about melissa and celia.
I'm sure you did.
I'm afraid
you're coming with us.
[handcuffs rattle]
[club music plays]
Kevin?
Dana!
It is such a pleasure
To finally meet you.
Yeah.
Your-your emails...
[exhales]
[chuckling]
Yeah.
Wow. May I?
Just... Just...
You need to change
your profile picture.
I do?
Yes, you do.
You absolutely do.
It does not do you justice.
You are absolutely
beautiful.
Wow! Seriously, um...
You're incredible.
I don't think
I would call myself that.
Why not?
I don't understand
Why people don't appreciate
their own appearance.
I mean, you are
exceptionally beautiful.
Trust me, I know.
This is-this is what I do.
I'm an artist.
I-I know
What real beauty is.
You're perfection.
Thank you.
Don't thank me,
thank your mom and dad.
[laughs]
They've got
the genes, right?
Excuse me.
Hi. Can I have
what she's having?
Thank you.
I want to know
everything, okay?
You're an executive
assistant..?
To a therapist.
Wow. That's a good thing,
that's maybe not a good thing.
[laughs]
Tell me about your boss.
She's--
[glasses clinking]
[laughs] cheers.
Cheers.
[remembering finch]:
For every 20 we catch,
Only one will make it to trial.
Most will cut a deal
with the da's office.
I'm not interested in
making deals with criminals.
You're saying you're
going to change
The way the prosecutor's
office works?
That's right.
Does it always
smell like that in here?
You should smell it
in August.
If you make it that long.
I'll be here.
You know, I think you will be.
[door opens]
Miss dean?
That was cute.
What?
Making me wait here
for three hours.
Oh, well, I was...
I was busy.
Hmm.
I think you were
trying to rattle me.
Really?
Did it work?
No.
Okay.
Let's see if this
can shake you up a little.
Miss dean?
Celia poloski,
Melissa everett.
Now, each woman
was killed
Shortly after
meeting with you.
Both these women trusted you.
Kind of makes them easy victims.
That doesn't mean
I killed them.
Both strangled...
And this--
A knot of string,
Tied around their ring finger.
You ever see anything
like this before?
You'd better watch
Your chain of custody
on that evidence, detective.
Come on.
We both know
what this is.
Each woman killed with
the same modus operandi
As your most famous case.
Clint cruise.
Have you checked
his whereabouts?
Yeah.
He's still on death row
in atlanta,
Where you put him.
So, who else could be
so obsessed
With your last case?
I don't know.
You tell me.
I'll ask the questions.
All right, then start.
All I've been hearing is
declaratory statements so far.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Is this moving
too fast for you?
Okay, well,
Let's take miss poloski.
You do admit
That you went to visit her
at her workplace
On the day
that she was murdered.
Yes.
Well, isn't that a little
unusual, miss dean?
'cause, I mean,
I've never had a doctor
Visit me
at work before.
Maybe you've never had a doctor
Who cared
if you got better or not.
You recognize
The positioning
of their bodies.
Famous artwork.
It took a day
to figure these two out.
So frederic leighton's
"flaming June,"
And gustave courbet's
"sleeping woman on a hammock."
What exactly
was the nature
Of your relationship
with miss poloski?
What are you
fishing for, detective?
What, do you get
some sort of sex thrill
Out of it?
Is that what it was for you,
with these women?
Some weird sex thing?
Okay, you know what,
you are a moron.
Why are you wasting time
Interrogating me
When there is
some killer out there
Stalking my patients!
Just calm down, miss dean.
Please.
Okay, you know what,
detective kolker?
I'm in here.
I assume you've worked up
a motive for me?
So, let's hear it.
The psych boys
think you've cracked.
Killed your own patients
Using the exact methods
of cruise,
Who you became obsessed with
during the course of your case.
Huh.
Thin.
You deny having
any emotional problems?
You've been on prescription
antidepressants
Since the trial.
You gonna bring in
half of new york?
There's also
The positioning
of the bodies,
The knot of twine.
Pull string.
Right. From
an artist's pencil.
Stuff only
you would know.
Stuff anybody
who followed the trials
In the atlanta newspaper
would know.
[sighs]
The string was from
a davie wrap charcoal pencil.
You ever own one before?
No.
It was wrapped around
their ring finger,
Like an engagement ring.
You...
You spent
some time in treatment
After your fiance died,
didn't you?
Was murdered.
Wouldn't you?
This is ridiculous.
I just want to say something,
This is
the kind of investigation
That used to make me cringe
when I was a prosecutor.
Your detective over here,
He questioned me
in the restaurant
Without reading me my rights,
So that'll be suppressed
in court for sure.
You guys are familiar with
The "the fruit of
the poisonous tree" concept,
Aren't you?
Yeah. Any evidence
That flows from
illegal beginnings
Is no good?
So, unless you fellas
have any concrete evidence
That links me to these crimes,
I suggest you let me go.
Now.
Not yet.
Do you recognize this?
"hailey, always seeking sanity,
love will."
This pen,
Given to you by your fiance,
Was found
in celia poloski's hand.
This is your pen,
isn't it, miss dean?
Yes.
Can you explain
How it came to be
in the victim's hand
At the time of her death?
No, I can't.
There you go.
Hailey dean,
We're officially charging you
With the murders
of melissa everett
And celia poloski.
Officers?
You'll have time
to look for sanity
On your ride
over to rikers.
You have the right
to remain silent.
If you give up that right,
Anything you say can and will
be held against you
In a court of law...
[handcuffs snap shut]
[sighs heavily]
Phone call?
[mumbles] mm.
You gonna call
your lawyer?
I am a lawyer.
At least, I used to be.
[call ringing]
Come on...
If you know me,
you know where I am,
And that you shouldn't
be calling me now.
The rest of you
can leave a message.
If I live,
I'll call you back.
Finch,
I'm in trouble.
Somebody is screwing with me.
Somebody who knows my past.
And it has to do with
the cruise case.
Call dana in my office.
She knows where I am.
You're very good.
He had to be there.
He's here.
Okay, I've got to talk to
detective kolker--
You got your phone call.
No, you don't
understand--
No, all I know is
you've been processed
And I have to take you
back to your cell--
No, listen to me,
it's really important.
Can you just
give him a message?
I'll pass it along.
Let's go.
[punching in number]
[ringing]
[voice over intercom]: Hello?
Hello!
I've got a package here
for hailey dean,
But I can't read
this suite number.
[voice]: Miss dean's in 506.
506!
Listen, you want me
to leave it out here?
Out front?
[voice]:
I'll buzz you in, sir.
Thank you.
[door locks buzz]
Open 10.
[door locks buzz]
[sniffing]
[muttering]: Hailey...
E is.
What?
How? When?
Four days ago.
[scoffs in disbelief]
Atlanta doj had
a gag order on it
Because of
the death threats.
They just released
this information.
Right now we're waiting
for a report
On his current whereabouts
from his parole officer.
So, that would make him
Prime suspect
in these homicides, right?
Yes, it would.
And the city of new york
Is officially sorry
For their mistake.
[clears throat awkwardly]
Why don't you just walk me
to the door, detective--
Whoa, whoa, wait.
Wait a minute.
Just one more thing.
What?
How did your pen
end up at the crime scene?
I lost that pen years ago
at cruise's trial.
He must have picked it up,
Put it by celia's body,
sending a message.
A message?
Not for you, for me.
He's coming after me.
Are you okay?
Uh, yeah, thank you
for coming to get me.
Well, it's beats hearing
little debbie greene wail
While I drill her teeth.
My hero.
Chivalry is not dead.
I guess not.
Take you home?
Let me just stop by
my house first,
Then I need to go
to the office.
Are you sure?
Yeah, I have work to do.
Okay.
Keep the change.
Hey, can I come in?
No, I'm okay.
Oh. Okay.
Adam, I think it would be best
If you stayed away from me
for a while.
Look, if somebody
is targeting my patients,
Then nobody in my life is safe.
Well, what are the police
going to do about it?
I've asked for
surveillance.
Hailey,
I'm worried about you.
Don't be.
I can handle it, okay?
I just...
I just don't want you
to get involved in this.
I am involved, lady,
And until the police give you
some protection,
I'm not letting you
out of my sight.
Thank you.
I'll just be
another minute, okay?
Get yourself a drink.
Thanks.
Damn it, fincher,
where are you?
[dialing rapidly]
[cell phone rings]
Hailey dean?
How's life in the big apple?
Who let cruise out of jail?
Well, he was
granted a new trial on appeal.
You did that?
I was doing my job.
He's a killer, matt.
Well, the judge didn't agree.
He tried to kill me
In open court.
Why didn't anybody inform me?
[sighs]
God, hailey, look,
Someone from the da's office
should have contacted you.
At the very least, matt,
You should have called me.
You're right. I'm sorry.
Look, where is he now?
Unknown.
He didn't report in
to his parole officer.
Well,
We have two homicides here
that match his m.O.
My god.
You think it's him.
I think he's playing
some sick game with me.
Okay, what can I do from here?
The police
are dragging their feet
On getting me
an order of protection.
I'll call, see what I can do.
Okay.
Midtown division.
Detective kolker.
Kolker. Got it.
I'll call right away.
Thanks.
[beeps phone off]
[remembering finch]:
Okay, like I showed you.
[shots blasting]
Don't aim for the head,
You're not freaking
annie oakley.
Aim between the belly
and the neck,
And keep shooting
Until he goes down.
I don't even know
why I'm doing this.
I have you.
You're a prosecutor.
There's gonna be people
that want to hurt you,
And I'm not going to be around
all the time.
Again.
Reload.
Finch...
In the marines...
Yeah?
You killed people, right?
Because I had to.
Not because I wanted to.
I don't know
if I could do that.
If you had been there...
Will?
Could you have pulled
the trigger to save his life?
To save a life?
Yeah. I could kill.
You just have to remember,
Nobody wants to kill--
Except the people
you prosecute.
Again.
[shots blasting]
All set.
Are you sure you want to
go to the office today?
Yeah, I'm sure.
All right, well,
I'm just down the hall
If you need me.
Okay.
Dinner tonight?
Asti's?
Yeah. I'll meet you there.
I can walk you there.
It's okay.
It's just across the street.
I'll be fine.
Okay.
Okay.
Oh, my god, hail,
are you okay?
Yeah.
I got your message.
I canceled everyone
on the schedule today.
Oh, hey,
I went out with
that guy, kevin, last night.
I had the best time--
Dana, it's not
that I don't care.
It's just that
I don't have time right now.
[♪]
[knocks hesitantly]
Yeah?
Can I go now?
Oh. Yeah, I'm sorry.
I didn't know
you were still here.
I'm supposed to see kevin--
You don't want to see him,
I forgot.
I'm sorry, dana.
I've just been really busy.
Kevin... Are you happy?
Yeah.
He really appreciates
what's special about me,
And I've never been
with an artist before.
An artist?
Yeah, he even drew me.
Can you imagine?
Like how leo drew kate,
Except in my apartment,
not on the titanic.
Show me.
The picture?
I kinda didn't have
any clothes on--
Him.
Show me him.
That's kevin.
Dana.
I want you to go to
midtown police station, okay?
I want you to see
detective kolker.
You remember the man
that came here the other day?
And do what?
Show him this.
Stay there with him,
don't go home.
Don't go anywhere else,
Do you understand me?
I don't understand.
Listen to me,
I don't want you texting kevin.
I don't want you calling him--
You're scaring me!
You should be scared.
He is not who you think he is.
He is extremely dangerous, okay?
Go to the police station. Go.
[dialing rapidly]
Detective kolker.
No. Can you get him?
No, don't give me
his voice mail.
Give him this message, okay?
Personally.
Tell him to call hailey dean.
Important?
Life or death.
No...
No.
No...
[screams]
No, no--
[muffled screams]
[shushing her impatiently]
Shh, shh...
[hailey falls silent]
Shh...
Hello, counsellor.
Good.
Very good.
Should I put in
the rollatini?
Just give her
a few more minutes.
[dialing number]
[cell phone rings nearby]
[groans groggily]
[cell phone's ring sharpens]
[gasps in horror]
[struggling]
If it's important...
I'm sure
they'll leave a message.
Found this.
A smith and wesson
chiefs special.
I thought guns
weren't your style.
I prefer a brush, that's true,
But different tools
For different jobs.
I've always fancied myself
more of a renaissance man.
But I've also always felt
That every artist
should be able to adapt.
I can be whoever I want to be.
You sure can't be an artist.
I've seen your work.
What is that supposed to be?
You like it?
This is my passion.
This,
This is my magnum opus.
Look at this.
This...
This, miss dean,
This is my masterpiece.
"the death of cleopatra."
And I'm supposed to be
cleopatra?
It's my art.
You're a part of my art--
No, I don't want to be
a part of your art.
You're a hack, and you know it.
What do you know?
You and...
And your fancy cars
And your penthouse suites...
The purpose of life,
miss dean...
Is to leave
behind something
That proved
you were here.
Well, this is mine!
No...
No, no, no, dana.
Dana, dana...
Oh, no.
Why did you have to kill her?
This was about me.
Why did you have to kill her--
To hurt you!
I thought
it was hilarious
That the police,
those stupid cops,
Actually pulled you in.
[laughs]
When I think about...
All those people
You put away for life.
About what a bonus,
You know,
The grand and glorious
hailey dean,
Actually spending some time
behind bars herself.
How did that feel?
Anybody who I put in jail
was guilty,
Including you--
Who are you to judge me?
[whimpering in terror]
When I am finished,
You'll understand.
[mumbling in protest]
[choking and strangling]
[gasping in terror]
[choking and gasping]
[screaming in pain]
[chair smashing]
[screams, kicks thud]
[ripping off tape]
You're a real ball-buster, dean!
[laughing]
I'll give you that.
Whoo!
[laughing in triumph]
[smashing panel]
[breathing hard]
[whistles, teasing]
There's no sense
In delaying the inevitable
any longer!
You should thank me, you know!
You and me,
I'd say we had this...
This date coming
for a very long time.
Hailey!
You're beautiful,
Just like all those
other women!
They thought
they were beautiful!
Thought they knew
what love meant!
But they were wrong!
It's just some
Shallow misunderstanding
Of the transient value
of their flesh!
I showed them what
real beauty is.
Forever beauty,
eternal beauty.
Now the world
will always remember them.
They'll never forget them.
I gave them forever!
I can give you
that gift.
The world
will never forget them!
They'll never grow old!
Today's your day!
[stabbing]
[groaning in pain]
[shot blasts]
[groaning]
I don't plan on dying
anytime soon.
There will be more.
We're not finished.
What "we"?
You can't stop us.
You can't stop us...
[sirens wailing]
Hey.
You got him.
What?
It's over.
You got him.
Yeah.
I guess so.
Miss dean.
You want to tell me
what happened?
Caught your killer.
You're welcome.
[chuckles ruefully]
I'm still gonna need
a full statement in my office.
Tomorrow morning.
I know how to find you.
Listen, uh, miss dean,
I wanted to say,
I...
I just want you to know
that I'm very sorry for...
You know,
everything I put you through.
And, uh...
I think this belongs to you.
What?
I'm just, I'm just
happy you're alive.
Hailey?
In here!
Hailey,
I'm so glad
you could see me.
My god, so,
you're okay, then?
Oh, yeah.
Have a seat.
I heard about your
harrowing ordeal.
I'm just glad
you made it.
Have you talked to cruise yet?
No. He still can't talk.
He's lost a lot of blood,
But...
He's going to make it.
That's too bad.
It would have been
easier for you if he didn't.
What do you mean?
The extradition.
It's going to be
a tough one, right?
Yeah.
New york and atlanta
both want him.
It'll be ugly,
But I guess I'll just
work it out.
Yeah, you always do.
Anyway, hailey, like I said,
I'm just glad
he didn't hurt you--
Before cruise passed out,
he said something.
He said,
"we gave them immortality."
"we."
Why would he say that?
Because cruise is crazy.
He... He thought
of himself as royalty.
You know, he would use
the imperial "we."
He was always referring
to himself in the third person.
I don't think so.
You want to hear my theory?
I think he had an accomplice.
I think he had somebody
That made it possible
for him to kill.
Somebody that knew the system.
Somebody who killed with him,
protected him.
And cruise told you this?
Hailey, he's trying
to confuse you.
Obfuscate.
No, matt,
that's what you do.
You would have
gotten away with it,
If it hadn't been...
For this--
Cruise planted my pen
at one of the crime scenes.
There's no way
He could have gotten it
out of the courtroom that day
Undetected.
He went to jail
and they searched him.
That leaves you.
You're the only one
Who could have
picked it up that day.
I remember the look
I saw on your face
When the verdict was read--
I didn't realize it
at the time,
But you were happy.
You wanted him convicted.
You gave cruise my pen.
[scoffing in indignation]
Okay, look.
He just...
Wanted a souvenir.
You gave cruise my pen
Because you were his partner.
Prove it.
You were his lawyer
on an assault rap 10 years ago.
His first arrest.
It was some hooker.
I was preparing his defense
and he just...
Admitted that
he was trying
To work up the nerve
to kill her.
Then he started
talking about his theory,
The great works of art--
But you thought
You would teach him
better, huh?
[shutter clicks]
[shutter clicks]
It's perfect.
Let's go.
[hailey]: You teamed up.
You'd love to try
and prove that, wouldn't you?
I will.
Actually,
I'm thinking about
coming out of retirement
Just to try both of you.
Cruise for dana,
melissa and celia.
And you,
for the other seven women
You guys killed
in atlanta.
How exactly?
You don't have
any hard evidence against me.
Cruise does, though.
He threatened
to go public with it
If you didn't get him
out of jail.
So you got him out of jail.
But you still
had a problem.
A new trial
might turn up some dna
That belongs to you
on those the crime scenes.
So you had to
kill cruise.
But first,
you needed him to kill me.
Wow.
I would love to see you
try to make that fly in court.
Only problem is,
cruise isn't dead.
I'm pretty sure
I can convince him
That he shouldn't
take the fall on this
Alone again.
Another round
of dna testing, matt,
You're done.
[sucks teeth resignedly]
Well, that's too bad.
You know...
I started off...
With small animals.
Then I progressed
to young girls,
Just homeless, so...
You know what I find
fascinating?
Is what you can get away with
in society
When you make
more than 200k a year.
It's like...
People just want to trust you.
So, what,
you're going to kill me
Right here in my office?
What's the narrative
on that?
[voice heavy with tears]
it's really quite sad, officer.
I mean, I came in here,
and she just got violent.
She blamed me
for her patients' deaths.
And, uh, I mean,
I was the one that
got cruise his appeal,
And I guess
she was overcome
With grief, or guilt, or...
I mean, she attacked me.
Then she pulls out this gun,
and there's a struggle,
And it just--
It just went off.
Nobody's going
to buy that.
Oh, angel,
I'm a lawyer, remember?
You're a killer.
Yeah, well,
There's no sense
in denying that now.
Only you and I
are going to know...
You are the 11th victim.
[shots blasting]
[groaning in pain]
You okay?
Yeah.
I think I'm deaf.
But alive.
[groaning]
Did you get all that?
Are you kidding me?
Clearest confession
I ever recorded.
[sighs]
Thank you, judge,
for the warrant.
Pick him up.
You got the right
to remain silent.
If you give up that right,
Anything you say
Can and will
be used against you
In a court of law.
If you don't have an attorney,
on will be assigned to you.
Took you long enough.
I had to travel 7,000 miles
In the back
of a transport plane.
Cut me some slack.
Slack cut.
So, what are you going to do?
You ready to go back to law?
Maybe.
But first,
I have an appointment
with my dentist.
Your dentist?
Yeah.
Thanks.
I just have to
put something away,
Then I'm all yours.
[♪]
[monitors beep steadily]
[telephone rings]
Detective kolker.
What?
When?
Cruise escaped!
He killed a doctor.
Listen up!
I need an apb
for clinton burrell cruise!
Extremely dangerous!
[sirens wail past]
[♪]
