An American Affair (1997) - full transcript

- I'll follow a man who wears
Welsley cologne anywhere.

In my whirlpool, on
the hood of my Ferrari,

just about anywhere.

- Cut.

That was the last take before she goes.

It's a wrap.

That's a wrap.

- So, girl, your whirlpool.

- Well, I enjoy a little
variety in my life.

- The hood of your Ferrari.

- Okay, so I enjoy a lot of variety.



- Hey, I like wine, but I don't
keep it in my mouth all day.

- Yeah well, I'll take men
over meditation any day.

- Meditation works for me.

- Hey, I'm starved.

Wanna join the producer
for some Thai food?

- I can't.

I got yoga and you're coming
to the university tomorrow,

I hope.

- You know, if you spend a
little more time in this world.

- Babs, there's more to life than sex.

- No, there isn't.

- I'll see you tomorrow.

- Through years of yoga,

my student has learned to
slow her body function down



to where it is impossible to tell

if her heart is beating at all.

Now in this experiment we
discover the power of the soul,

our higher self

which is immortal.

Meditation helps to free ourselves

from the limitations of our bodies,

our containers, if you will.

- Get out of there, move,
move out of the way.

- Easy.

- There was someone there.

- I know.

You were under for more than 10 minutes.

You're gonna be fine.

Just relax.

Relax.

Relax.

- Just because I don't
go to bed with every man

who waves his you know what,

doesn't mean I don't think
about it all the time.

I don't mind tormenting men,

but I like to do it with
a certain je ne sais quoi.

- Je ne sais quoi.

Speaking of men.

- Knowing her she'll pick out the best,

most expensive dress.

- You saw that in your visions?

- He's doing some public service TV spots.

I have been briefed about him.

- Yeah, well tell me anyone that gorgeous,

gotta be an actor, huh?

He's the
distract attorney, Sam Brady.

- Well, he can prosecute me any time.

- Down, girl.

He's the kind of man who
avoids flash and trash

and goes for low-key, high-brow types.

- Ah, like yourself for instance.

- Man's got taste.

- A challenge.

- Tomorrow I meet him.

I'm directing his crime
prevention spots I believe.

- A ha.

- I wish.

You know I don't mix
business with pleasure.

- Boy, I always do.

You know men are easy.

- Trust me, he's not your type.

- Gen, all men who resist me are my type.

- Mr. Brady, right here.

Right here.

Smile, Mr. Brady.

- I hope you didn't mind my calling.

Got your number from Harwood.

- Mind, you kidding?

It's not every day I get
a call from a big TV star.

- You have time for a drink?

- I gotta prepare a little speech.

- Then how about dinner?

- Our great state is being undermined

by lackluster legislation, and even worse,

weak legislators.

I personally thank god
for you men and women

who are the veterans of this
great country's noble efforts

to defend the family.

Because your wills won't be broken,

you must throw down the challenge

to state and federal government.

When police risk their lives

to clean the streets of
the criminal element,

you must demand to the courts,

put them in jail,

not just recycle them
back onto the streets.

Folks, we politicians can only go so far.

Then it's up to you,

the people,

the people whom we serve.

Pick up the torch

and run the distance.

- Nice ride.

- Practically live in this thing.

- Had to make a little speech, huh?

Must be a great rush.

- Take off your clothes.

- I'll take off mine
if you take off yours.

- They're already off.

Yeah.

- Oh.

- Jesus, how do I make
this moment last forever?

I definitely have to see you again.

- Is your whole life a campaign?

- Every single day.

This year I run for the senate.

Who knows after that?

Maybe the white house.

- You're not fooling around, are you?

- Maybe just a little.

- You're a very provocative man, Sam.

- Definitely gonna see you again, right?

- Off the record, no rules, maybe.

- So you just want me for my body, huh?

- Is that so bad?

- You kidding?

It's like having Christmas in July.

- So, when I saw the news last night,

I came up with a perfect
approach for the campaign.

We shoot you out in the streets,

you're in shirt sleeves, graffiti walls

with police cars in the background,

you're looking directly into the camera,

talking to the gangs,

warning them that you're
coming after them.

- They said I'd like your style.

- Hello.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

I'm sorry.

You were saying?

- You just kind of drifted.

I was, you know, I don't really have time

to go over all of this right now.

Maybe we could get together later

over dinner.

- Tonight?

Tonight.

- I don't know what to say.

- Say, "yes".

- Okay.

- This is not how I
usually conduct business.

- You mean I didn't have
to make love with you

to get you to do my commercials?

- Come on, I'm serious.

- I know.

- I knew you had charisma,

but then I was at your office.

Then when at dinner you
looked into my eyes,

business became pleasure.

- Mmm, my pleasure.

- Babs, you're not gonna
believe what I did tonight.

Even I don't believe it.

Call me.

- So, details.

- No.

Well, maybe.

- He doesn't know that we're friends.

- You mean both of us sleep with him?

- Hey, get your own lives.

- And you say I'm weird?

I mean, Babs, you can't
play with people like that.

- Men do it all the time.

- Oh, and that makes it right.

- You really like him, don't you?

- I met him yesterday and I
went to bed with him last night.

You figure it out.

- This is serious.

- He could be the one I could
give it all up for, yeah.

- This is serious.

Okay, then I'm out.

- Just like that?

- Mm hmm, I mean maybe it's for the best.

He's a distraction and I don't
need distractions in my life

right now.

- You really mean that?

- Look, money, marriage, men,
nothing comes between us,

so yeah, yeah he's all yours.

- I love you, Babs.

- You should.

That wasn't easy.

- What are you doing?

- Seems like I haven't seen you in ages.

- I know.

Babs, Sam is just so wonderful.

- You make me happy, baby.

- Can you just pay me and take me back?

- This one's on the house.

Where you going?

That's a lot of cake you got in there

for a little honey.

- And you can't have it.

And while we're talking about money,

since you can't have hers,

I may as well have yours.

Let's see your piece, big boy.

Ah, now your money.

- Another drug dealer bites the dust.

- I'm so sorry I'm late.

I got hung up with a phone call and stuff.

Sam?

- I never take ignore for an answer.

So, tell me what happened?

- What do you mean?

- We have this incredible night together.

We practically rewrote
the meaning of passion.

You lay out some silly
rules for our relationship

and then you disappear.

- Sam, we had one night together.

- If that's all it was.

I missed you, I missed you, I missed you.

I missed the way you taste.

I missed the way you smelled,

the way you feel.

- I can't do this.

- Why are you always running away?

I don't wanna own you, Barbara.

I just wanna spend

eternity with you.

- What?

- Look, I had a great
time the other night.

Did you have a great time?

- Yes.

- You had a great time.

I had a great time.

What is this hid and seek game?

Come on.

Please.

See me again.

Say something.

- I'll think about it.

- Se se, se se mua.

Se se, se se mua.

Se se, se se mua.

Se mua.

- I'm Dave Norton,
distract attorney's office.

This is Ted Montval from internal affairs.

- What do you girls want?

- Put your clothes on.

You're come with us.

- Oh yeah?

What for?

- 'Cause you got problems, friend,

big problems.

- Won't be the first time.

- Patrick.

- Mr. Brady, what can I do for you?

- Well, my assistant tells
me that you're in trouble

once again.

Murder, robbery, planting false evidence.

- I'm listening, but you
can't prove anything.

- I don't know.

I've got a sheriff down
in Miami who claims

he's got a little girl
who can't get over you.

- I seem to have that effect upon women.

- Except she's reluctant to come up here,

so I have to decide if it's
worth the tax-payer's money

to send somebody down
there to check her out.

It seems like a waste of money and time,

especially for a pimp and a whore,

especially if it's gonna ruin the career

of a fine police officer.

- I'm listening.

- You know Victor Crawford?

The senator's son?

- I want him.

- What you mean is you
want the senator's job.

- What I'm saying is,

if something bad should happen to him...

- Boo hoo hoo.

- Oh, Patrick.

- You want me to set him up?

- I didn't say that.

I said if something should happen.

- You know, Mr. Brady,

you're gonna have to get me a scorecard.

- Why's that?

- That way I can tell the
good guys from the bad guys.

- The weather's nice down in
Florida this time of year.

- You drop all the charges?

- Yeah.

- Well then, allow me to
make a small contribution

to your campaign, senator Brady.

Oh, excuse me.

I am so sorry.

Forgive me.

- Get out of here.

- Are you sure you're all right to drive?

- What are you, my mother?

Drive carefully.

- Foley, where are we on the Flora case?

- Closing arguments today.

- Good, I want to waste
any more money or time

on this guy they're shooting.

Just plead second degree and
put this guy away, would you?

- All right.

- All right, thank you.

- Sam, I know this is gonna make your day.

- What's that?

- They picked up Senator
Crawford's son last night.

- For what?

- Drunk driving.

Emptied his pockets, found
10 individually-wrapped

grams of cocaine.

- You're kidding.

Traveling salesman, huh?

- Not so fast, Sam.

I mean the kid says he
knows nothing about it.

- Well, I believe him.

He's probably wearing
somebody else's coat, right?

- Did you book him yet?

- No, obviously not, Sam.

I think we should
investigate this a little.

- Well, that's why you're
the a-a-assistant DA, Dave.

We have possession and we have...

- Intent.

Can somebody please bring him in?

- I'm on it.

Senator Brady sounds good.

- Jesus, Sam.

He's the senator's son.

- 10 grams of cocaine, David.

He's also an idiot.

- Mr. Brady, this just came in for you.

- Thank you.

All right, everybody,
let's get back to work

and would you please stay on
top of this Crawford thing?

Thank you.

- Hi, it's Genevieve.

You have 30 seconds to be
creative and then leave.

- Damn it.

I need to talk to you, not a machine.

Where are you?

- You haven't called
me in a couple of days.

- Yeah, a lot of stuff's
been happening at the office.

You know, I'm gonna be kind
of busy for a while here now.

- Actually, me too.

That' what I came to talk to you about.

- What?

What?

Genny, what is it?

- Sam, we're gonna have a baby.

- You're joking.

What?

- I know this is a big shock.

- Well, that's one of your
basic understatements.

- Sam, I've never been pregnant before

and I don't believe in accidents.

This baby chose us.

- Wait wait wait wait, wait, whoa.

I just, we...

- You care for me, don't you?

- Well yeah, yes, yeah
of course I care for you,

but you're, baby?

- Yeah.

- Uh.

- Tell me, talk to me.

- Okay, uh.

- Barbara.

- Why didn't you tell me?

- Things just got out of hand, Sam.

- Okay, who else knows about this baby?

- Just my doctor.

- Not Harwood?

Not your hairdresser?

- No.

- Good, good.

One point for my team.

- Sam, I was so happy about being pregnant

if never occurred to me that
you didn't feel the same.

- Feel the same?

Look what you two did.

You were messing around with my head

and now it has come back to bite ya.

All right, all right, look.

There's this doctor that I know.

- Sam, I'm not killing my baby.

- All right, you're right,
that wouldn't look good.

- You are not the only
one involved here, Sam.

- And you're not involved at all,

so shut up.

- Oh, stop it both of you.

- Sam, I'm really sorry you're
not happy about the baby,

but you're not, so go.

I don't need you.

I'm perfectly capable of
taking care of it myself.

In fact, I can't wait.

So, just leave

and no one will ever know it's yours.

- Yeah, sure,

then you blow up and the
hormones start going bananas.

The next things you know, we're headlines.

- Who do you think I am, huh?

- A stumbling block in
his career, right, Sam?

- If indeed she is pregnant.

- I'm sorry?

- Sit down.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I have this friend, Judge Delaney,

he can marry us secretly, in private

in his chambers.

He can pre-date the certificate.

We'll do the right thing.

He owes me a favor.

Then we can announce
our secret marriage and

your pregnancy.

- You arrogant son of a...

- Shut up!

One o'clock in my office.

Hmm?

- I'm going to marry him, Barbara.

- All packed.

- Look, I owe you a big apology

and I'm not very good
at this sort of thing.

May I come in?

I don't blame you,

but I've been doing a lot of
thinking about this situation,

about you and me

and when I look at it clearly,

without all the pressure and the emotion

and the bruised ego,

I seem to be the one who's
coming out ahead here

and you

well,

you're having my baby.

- That's a good start.

- I'm sorry about some
of the things I've said.

I just, I really, I believe
we can make this work.

Do you really mean that?

- I'm gonna be a daddy.

- Yes, you are.

- I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Oof, so,

all this stuff's coming to my place, huh?

- Well, don't worry.

Barbara's coming over with her car.

- Yeah, uh,

about Barbara.

- What?

- She's gone.

I can't help it,

but if we're gonna make
this marriage work,

if we're gonna build a family together,

she can't be a part of our lives.

It just won't work.

- Sam, you can't do this.

- I can't do anything else.

I cannot deal with Barbara.

- Just give it some time.

- Look, it's all I'm asking.

Our life starts here today.

If that's what you want,

I pray, I hope that is what you want,

then it's gotta start without her.

I love you, Gen

and I don't wanna hurt you.

- Good morning, Mr. Brady.

Calls have been coming in all morning

and I'd like to congratulate you too.

I think you'll make an excellent father.

Thank you, Phyllis.

- The governor.

- The governor?

- Governor.

- Governor, hello sir.

Yes, good morning.

Well, thank you, sir.

That's very nice of you
to take the time to call.

I guess we just couldn't
keep it a secret any longer

with the baby coming.

I'll send her your regards.

Yeah, bye bye.

- And your messages.

- Oh.

- How, how could you do this, huh?

- Barbara, calm down.

- Calm down.

You just can't cut me out
of your life like that.

Two minutes, darling.

- Sam can't deal with you right now.

- Really?

Well, that's his problem.

It doesn't have to be ours.

- Just give me some time.

I know I can bring him around.

- I don't care.

I don't care how he feels about me.

I care about us.

_ But, Barbara, things are different now.

- Things are always different, Gen.

I mean, you and I were constant.

- Okay, but it's a very
chaotic time in our lives

and...

- Oh, look, I don't want
to hear about our lives,

or a baby, or marriage.

Our rule is that nothing comes between us.

- Babs, I'm married, I'm pregnant.

Don't you want what's best for me?

- Of course I do

and if that's Sam and the baby, then fine,

but why is it you want them
with me out of the way?

- Oh, but that's not true, sweetheart.

- Oh, it is true.

What are you afraid of?

What if,

what so if I'm out of the picture,

there's no threat, is that it?

- Oh, don't go there.

Okay, maybe at first I
felt something like that,

but when Sam said I can't see you anymore,

I realized how empty my
life would be without you

and I argued with him,
but he wouldn't budge

and then I realized that he
still had feelings for you.

Barbara, we created the situation with Sam

and we gotta go through it together.

Just give me some time.

I can do it.

I don't wanna lose you either.

Darling.

- I have to go back to work.

- Okay.

- Would you please leave us alone?

- So, you gonna help me?

- You're my son.

When you were a boy I made a promise that

if you ever got into trouble,

I'd be there for you.

I've made your bail.

We can go now.

- I didn't do it.

- Senator, senator?

- Sam, this whole senator Crawford thing,

it's way out of hand.

He's called me 10 times
already this morning.

Anything specific?

- Well, no, but...

- Damn you, Brady.

You wanna play politics, that is fine,

but do not mess with my family.

- Lalalalala.

- You, out.

- Sam, I can wait outside if you want.

No, no, John.

I want him to stay here.

David, in fact, I want
you to come over here.

I want you to witness what
happens to a politician

who spends one too many years in office

and accomplishes absolutely nothing.

- Sam, please.

Senator, I mean come
on, let's be calm here.

Now, senator, I wanna assure you

that I am personally investigating
the story of your son.

Now, if it proves to be true,

I'm sure Sam will be
the first to tell you,

your son will be exonerated.

- Oh, you planted this stuff on him.

- Victor was being
busted for drunk driving

when we found it on him.

I'm sorry, John, but
this one is by the book.

- Are you that hungry for my job?

- This is not about your job.

It's about my job.

Victor was caught with
intent to sell cocaine.

- I know my son.

That's garbage.

- No, you wanna know what's garbage

is you coming in here with
all this self righteous anger

when you really don't care about Victor.

What you care is about your election.

You care about your reputation.

He's going down.

Let the cards fall where they may.

- I'm warning you.

- Get out of my office, Crawford

or I'm gonna call the police

or worse, I'll call the newspapers.

- You picked the wrong
man to mess with, Brady.

You're gonna lose this war.

- How many times are you gonna read that?

- Just getting myself in the mood.

Son of a bitch is gonna sink.

- Don't you think his
family's suffering enough?

- It's called politics, Gen.

It's not about right or left,
conservative or democrat,

it's a war between people
trying to keep their jobs.

I care about his family, I sincerely do,

but he'd crush me like a fly if he could.

It's survival.

Did you pack the gun?

- I'm seeing the governor's wife.

- I want it to be habit.

- Sam, I hate guns.

I hate them in the house.

Well, I'm afraid you're gonna

have to get used to it.

- Why don't we start dealing
with what makes me feel better?

- All right, Gen,

what is it that would
make you feel better?

- Barbara,

I wanna see her.

- Have a nice day.

Did you hear me?

- And try, please try and relax, huh?

- Tell me.

- It's very rare.

Genevieve had an ectopic
pregnancy that ruptured.

I had to operate and remove all the tubes.

- No more children.

- I'm sorry.

- All right, thank you.

Doctor, dial 182, please.

Please dial 118.

- Gen, what happened?

- I don't know.

Something or someone's
trying to contact me.

I'm gonna call professor
Michaels tomorrow.

- Oh, Gen, all this psychic guru stuff,

it's great,

but this is starting to scare me.

I really, I really would like
you to see a real doctor.

- Sam, I don't need Prozac
and I don't need your sarcasm.

I need to find out why our
baby chose to disappear.

- Chose?

It was an accident.

- There's no such thing.

We choose our birth,

we choose our death.

He sensed something was wrong

and did not want to be a part of it.

- What is going on here?

- At first I thought it was a baby.

Maybe his soul hadn't crossed over

and he was coming to say goodbye to me,

but it's not

and I don't know who or what it is.

- Look,

all I want is,

it can't hurt for you to call this guy,

this doctor.

- I am not seeing a psychiatrist.

- Fine.

Clean up your own mess.

- So, does my best friend
know that you're here?

- She's why I'm here.

- Trouble in paradise?

- She lost the baby, Barbara.

- I'm sorry, Sam.

Is she all right?

- No, no, she's not all right.

She can't have another one.

- Is there anything I can do?

- Yeah, she needs you right now.

She needs you to be there to
help her get through this.

- And that's okay with you.

- It was my idea.

- What's happening, Sam?

Big case coming up and this family tragedy

getting in the way?

- Forget it.

You know, I'm gonna go.

I thought you were her friend.

I thought maybe you might wanna help her.

- Look, I just wanna be
clear about your motives,

that's all.

- I want her to have what she needs.

Right now, she needs you.

I'm over you.

- You drive.

David, you're worrying again.

Sam, you can
laugh if you want to,

but this is a wrinkle.

- I don't see that.

Please show me, tell me.

- Victor identified this cop.

This Mulroney guy's the same guy

that bumped into him the
night he was arrested.

And we got a valet to confirm that.

- That's not a wrinkle.

- So, they're saying that
they planted the cocaine

at that time.

- It's ridiculous.

- No, it's not.

You know, you remember this Mulroney guy?

- Eh, it sounds familiar.

- It's the guy in Florida.

The hooker, the pimp, that whole thing.

- Oh yeah, yeah.

That was nothing.

We dropped those charges.

- Yeah, but right after we dropped them,

Crawford's arrested.

- So.

- So, his people are
yelling collusion, frame.

- Oh, David, they are grasping
at straws, believe me.

Just let 'em yell.

Look, by the time this
thing gets to trial,

I'll be a senator.

Hell, I could be president.

Please, stop worrying.

- Wake up.

- Uh oh.

Sam.

- Yes.

- Hi, darling.

- Looks like you two had
one hell of a day here, huh?

- Yeah, wonderful.

Hey.

- Uh oh.

- Yeah, that's what I said.

- Are you guys all right?

- No, not at all.

- Oh, don't worry, sweetheart.

I'll drive you home.

- Okay.

- Oh, no you won't.

All right, gonna give you a lift upstairs

and I'll come back and
I'll give you a ride home.

- Mm hmm.

Isn't he a sweetheart?

- The best.

- Prince charming.

Where are the keys?

In your purse?

No, pocket.

Pocket pocket.

Oh oh.

- Oh oh oh.

Where we going?

I see the bed up here.

Come on come on come on.

Okay, shh.

Come on.

♫ Lover, come back

♫ To me

♫ Lover, come back

♫ Come back to me

♫ Come lover

♫ Lover, come back

♫ Lover, come back

♫ Lover, come back

♫ To me

♫ Stand up and come back

♫ Oooh

♫ Oh

♫ Lover come back lover
come back lover come back

♫ To me

♫ Lover

♫ Lover lover

♫ Come back to me, come back to me

- Sam.

Sam.

Sam.

What are you doing?

Stop it.

Stop it.

- What?

- Stop it.

- What?

What's with your foot?

You were rubbing with your foot.

You were sending signals.

Are you messing with me again?

- No, what are you talking about?

- Don't ever, don't ever
play a game with me.

- I'm not.

What are you talking about?

Stop it.

No, no.

Stop it.

No.

You're hurting.

No, no!

- Shhh.

Oh, remember that?

- I love you, I love you.

- Yeah.

Mr. Brady.

- Yeah, who is this?

- It's your local exterminator.

- Mulroney?

What the hell are you, don't,

don't ever try to call me here.

Just to let
you know the Victor Crawford

can't ID me anymore.

What is that supposed to mean?

- Let's just say that I
tied up some loose ends.

- Look, don't ever call me.

Don't ever try to contact me.

If I need to talk to you,

I'll...

Are we...

- You drive her home okay?

- Yeah.

- That was such a sweet
unselfish thing you did

for me yesterday.

I missed her so much.

- Looks like you two did
a lot of catching up.

- Yeah.

Everything's gonna be fine now, Sam.

I can feel it.

- Great.

- I adore you.

Tonight I'm gonna show you just how much.

Mmmm.

Maybe I can give you a little
sneak preview right now.

- I...

- You animal.

- Barbara, from day one until last night,

I have never stopped thinking about you.

- Really?

Well you have a strange
way of showing it, Sam.

- I'm sorry.

I mean, I was working off
some confused signals.

I lost control.

- Lost control?

You son of a bitch.

- I need you, Barbara.

I want you.

I desperately want you back.

- And I wanna see you
in jail, Sam, for rape.

- I'm afraid that that's not gonna happen.

- Really?

Well, we'll see, won't we?

You may be the DA, honey,

but I've got influential friends myself.

- What about Genevieve?

You think she can handle
something like this?

- She's all I've thought about, Sam.

It's why I haven't gone to the police.

She's stronger than you think, Sam.

She can handle it.

- Well, you think she can handle the fact

that you tried to seduce me,

that I had to fight you off,

that you're insanely jealous?

She'll believe all that, you know?

Because she wouldn't want
to believe it any other way.

Barbara, god I hate this.

I have, I swear to Christ,

I have nothing but love
in my heart for you.

I told you the first time we were together

that I wanted that moment,
that moment to last forever.

I meant it.

- You parked on six?

No, I'm on the street.

Killed himself, huh?

Well, it looks that way.

He put a rope around his neck

and jumped off a chair.

- Yeah, well it's a shame about this case.

- Women and children
are crying in my house.

Brady, I just wanted you to know that.

- John, I'm sorry about your son.

- I'll bet you are.

- Look, can't we just forget about this.

It's over.

- Not even close.

When it is over,

you'll know what it's like to lose.

Shame on you.

- We have to talk.

Sometimes truth can be so degrading.

- Barbara.

- Genevieve and I have a pact.

At least, we had one.

We promised we would never
let anyone come between us

to destroy our friendship.

Here you are again

and the sad fact is,

I do want you

and I don't know what to do about it.

- Barbara, day one of my marriage
I have been living a lie.

When I see her, I see you.

When I listen to her, I hear you.

When I touch her,

I touch you.

- This would kill her.

- Look, as soon as the election is over,

I'll ease off the marriage
as gently as possible,

but you have to promise
me that you'll be there,

that you'll wait for me.

Then we'll be together.

The
tiger, creature of fate,

an institutional killer
can tear a body apart

in a matter of seconds.

An adult man, the largest
known predator averages seven...

- Hello?

- Hi, sam, it's me.

I'm just lying here with
one thing on my mind.

- It's Barbara.

- Great, I'll be right with her.

I've been talking to her
answering machine for two weeks.

- You hear that?

Yeah, she'll be right with you.

She's going off to Montreal
to do her commercial

for a couple of days.

- I can't wait till I
finally get you alone.

That'll give us some time together.

I don't wanna hurt her,
Sam, but I have to see you.

Maybe you can pick me up in your limo?

- Yeah, I think that can be arranged.

- Sam, I'm gonna start
at the top of your head

and kiss every inch of your body.

- Barbara wants to have a party.

- Sounds great, but I'm leaving tonight.

Yeah, okay.

Yeah.

Yeah.

- Ah, Gen, Gen, what are you doing here?

- You, son of a bitch.

You miserable worm.

- Gen, listen, listen.

- Couldn't you wait until I was gone

at least two hours before
doing it with someone else?

- Gen, look, I think I
know what happened here.

- Oh, shut up.

I'm not stupid,

but damn it, you two had me fooled.

- Gen.

- The paper's are gonna have a riot

when they find out about our divorce.

It's gonna be great for your campaign.

- Gen, listen listen, uh,

first of all, would you
just put down that gun.

Put down the gun.

Okay, here, here's what happened.

- I can see that for myself.

And I can guarantee
you'll never happen again.

- Oh, don't don't, babe, don't.

Barbara.

- Put the gun down, Gen, please.

- No.

Give me the gun

before somebody gets hurt, goddamn it.

- What is that look?

Please, tell me what that look is.

I don't understand it.

Just look at me, what?

Are you nuts?

What is that look?

What is that look?

I don't know that look.

What?

Barbara, I didn't, I didn't.

- Look what you did.

- Oh god, help, Barbara, please, help me.

- Leave her alone.

Gen, Gen.

- Goddamn it.

- Just stay with me.

Squeeze my hand.

Squeeze my hand, you'll be okay.

- Here here here here.

- Don't touch her.

You killed her.

- I didn't.

- You killed her.

- Would you just calm...

- You killed her.

- Shut up, god.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm
sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Fuck fuck.

Okay, we'll take care of each other.

Okay, shh.

I got a plan.

We got something, we can do something.

Shhh.

Do you love me?

Okay, you love me.

Shh.

- That's it, I can't stand this anymore.

I'm calling the police.

- I said no.

- Sam, we can't just sit here all night.

Her up there.

This is Genevieve we're talking about.

We have to call the police.

- Barbara, listen to me.

Would you please just listen?

If we call the police and
we tell them what happened,

the media is gonna have a field day.

Actress and DA indicted for murder.

Wife killed after finding them in bed.

MOW, murder of the week.

- Murder?

It was an accident.

- Have you ever seen a
crime of passion trial?

We have absolutely zero chance,

especially since I'm the
DA and you're who you are.

And, Barbara, look, even if we're cleared,

if we're exonerated, if
we walk away scot-free,

our careers would be ruined

and I am not throwing away my career

for some wacky broad with a gun.

So, no, we do not call the police.

That is not an option.

Are we clear?

Good.

- Sam.

Yes?

- Are you ready for something
a little off the wall?

I read a story once where
a man murdered his wife.

He buried her right in
the heart of the city.

- Been filling these holes with cement

for the past couple of days.

- How do you know that?

- I can see it from my office window.

This is awful.

Yeah, well the
alternatives are worse.

Get her, get her, right here.

Sam, this is crazy.

I mean, making up a story is one thing...

- Look, look, it's a little late

for an attack of conscience, all right?

- I can't.

I can't do this.

- Fine, fine, go to prison.

- Gen, I am so sorry.

- What?

- I'm just saying goodbye.

- All right, right, just come on,

help me ease her into the hole here.

- No, I can't do it

This is terrible.

Ah, she's starting to smell.

Help me ease her into the hole

or I'll do it myself.

Just help me, goddamn it.

Get in here, get in here.

What is it with the police?

Goddamn it.

The body, hurry.

Hurry.

Goddamn it.

Down down down down down down.

Shit.

Stay down.

Okay okay.

- He's going.

All right, he's gone.

Okay, come on come on come on.

Go go.

What are you doing?

- I've gotta fill it up and cover her up

so they don't see her when
they fill it with cement.

Out of the way, out of the way!

Okay okay.

Think I'm gonna throw up.

All right, all right.

Hello.

- Spalding, hi, it's Sam.

Listen, I'm sorry for calling late,

but I got a real problem here, buddy.

Mr. Brady?

- Look, do you still have
that cabin up at Spruce Lake?

Uh, yeah,

but I haven't been up there for a while.

Great.

What is it?

- Well, it's, it's Genevieve,

she's slipped back into
this depression thing

and we've been talking

and we think that if
she just went up there

and she spent some time, you know,

just got the fresh air

and breathed a little,

she might see things a little bit more...

I understand
what you're saying, sir.

Genevieve would be comfortable there.

It's all yours.

- Aw thanks thanks thanks.

You are a life-saver.

Oh, thank you, sir.

The keys, they're in the same place.

Keys are still
in the same place, good.

Uh huh.

Does she know where it is?

Yeah, I'm sure she
knows how to get there.

If she doesn't I can
always draw her a map.

All right,
if there's nothing else.

- Yeah, we're gonna try
to get some sleep now too.

Okay.

I guess I'll just see you

in the morning then, right?

Yes, sir.

Good night.
- Bye.

- I have never been so
scared in my entire life.

- I know.

- The gun, the gun.

What did we do with the gun?

- It's okay.

I buried it with her.

- We start tomorrow.

He
drove around with a girlfriend

disguised as the wife,

being seen together by friends.

- Sam.

- Jesus, David, you
scared the hell out of me.

- Listen, we're late.

The mayor's waiting.

- Yeah.

- You all right?

- Yeah, you just, you startled me.

Come on, let's go.

No
one ever found the body.

They were all looking in the place

she had supposedly disappeared.

Yes, Phyllis?

- I've tried your wife again

and there's still no answer at the cabin.

- How many times have you called?

- This makes six.

Do you think she's all right?

- Sure, she, yeah.

Look, why don't you try one
more time before you leave

and, if you don't have any luck,

I'll give her a call when I get home.

Thank you.

Barbara, Barbara, you just gotta trust me.

Everything is going just fine.

Phyllis has tried to reach
her for two days now.

I'll tell her there was no answer tonight.

We try tomorrow then we call the police.

- And then what?

- Freedom.

Look, at least we don't cost
the state fifty grand a year

for the next twenty years.

- Yeah, I know.

- Barbara, I love you.

Nothing is gonna change that,

but you just have to trust me.

- Shouldn't you make the call?

- Yeah.

Where's the phone?

- Behind you.

- Yeah, just to make
sure there's a record.

AT&T, can I help you?

- Operator, hi, this is
district attorney Sam Brady

on a priority three.

I've been trying to make a call all day

and I need you to put me three.

Certainly, Mr. Brady.

I'm sorry you've been having difficulty.

What is the number please?

- That's area code 555-878-3662
and what's your name?

- Sunny Booth, operator seven.

- Thank you, Sunny.

Sam?

Sam is that you?

- What's the matter?

What?

- Hello, hello?

I love you, Sam.

- Who is this?

Who the hell is this?

I loved you, Sam.

- Hang up.

Hang up, hang up.

- Somebody found out.

- That's impossible.

- Well then, who's on the phone?

- I don't know.

Somebody knows.

I loved you, Sam.

Sam, is that you?

I loved you, Sam.

Sam.

Sam, is that you?

- Barbara?

Oh my god.

Sam, you have to get back here right away.

- Why why, what's happening?

I just saw her.

- What?

She's here, Sam.

I saw her.

- All right, look, I'm on my way.

Just stay calm.

Barbara, there is a logical
explanation to all of this,

but you have got to stay calm.

- Listen to me, okay?

I was in the kitchen, all right?

I was making coffee

and then I heard something
scratching against the glass

and I turned and she was there, Sam.

She was right there.

Her face was, I don't
know, it was contorted.

It was pressed right against the glass.

- Barbara, that's impossible.

Whoever it was, I don't know who it was,

but it was not Genevieve.

Whoever it was, their face
was pressed against the glass,

that's why it was distorted.

It was not Genevieve.

We have buried her.

- Yeah, well whoever it was,

I called the police.

- You what?

- What do you expect?

What did you say to them?

- That I heard strange noises.

- What did they say?

- They told me not to bother them again.

Look, I didn't know what else to do.

Oh no, it's happening.

- What?

- Look, she used to talk
about visions, you know?

Death options, stuff like that.

- Yeah, yeah, I, whoooo,
I know all about it.

- Yeah, well she believed them.

- People used to believe
that the world was flat,

but nobody fell off of it, Barbara.

- Sam, I'm telling you,
she was right there.

I'm freaking out here.

- You want freaked out?

You want freaked out?

Come on, I'll show you freaked out.

Look at this.

What the?

- What are you looking for?

- The, uh, I found her
bloody dress up there,

when I was up at the...

- What dress?

- What do you mean what dress?

The dress she was wearing when...

Where the hell is it?

- Sam, just take it easy.

- I'm telling you, Barbara.

It was in this towel.

It was wrapped up in the trunk.

When I left the cabin, it was in there.

- Yeah, just like I
saw Genevieve upstairs.

- Please, will you just back off?

Leave me alone.

Let me try to figure
this out, please, please.

- Fine.

I'm going upstairs.

- Mr. Brady.

- What are you doing here?

- I was just in the neighborhood

and thought I'd drop by.

- How'd you get in?

- That's the least of your problems, pal.

- What are you talking about?

- What I'm talking about
is senator Crawford.

He cornered me today and
told me the jig was up.

He knew all about us.

He said he was gonna use the full power

of the senate and the FBI.

- And you believe that?

He has nothing.

- Doesn't sound like nothing to me.

He knew all about the bird in Florida.

- Well, I must have overestimated you,

because you're not as smart
as I thought you were.

- Yeah, I'm smart enough
to know when to get out.

You better start moving too, pal,

or the whole world's gonna
come crashing in on you.

- What is that supposed to mean.

- What that means is I want
$100,000 by tomorrow night.

- $100,000?

- Don't make no excuses either,

'cause I know you got it.

And then I take a slow boat to China

and disappear.

There's nothing left to investigate.

- That's a good idea.

You think so?

- With you gone, they can't
connect me with anything.

How 'bout 68,000?

- 68?

- That's what I got in cash here.

You take it, you're gone tonight.

Tomorrow, I open up the book on you.

I demand an investigation.

- Let's do it.

- Safe's in the garage.

- The garage?

- Well, think about it.

You think crooks are gonna be looking

for a safe in a garage?

- Hey, that's pretty smart.

No wonder you're

and I'm...

Let's go.

- Hold on a second.

Just a little insurance.

You're just the same as everybody else.

Let's go.

- Hey, what's with the Easter bunnies?

- I like rabbits.

There you go, help yourself.

- Help myself, help myself.

- I always carry extra insurance.

There's been
another dramatic development

in the bizarre case of senator
Crawford's son, Victor,

who allegedly hung himself last week

after being arrested
for trafficking cocaine.

Early this morning, the police officer

who Victor Crawford had
accused of setting him up,

Patrick Mulroney, was found
murdered execution style,

shot at close range.

- Brady.

Too many people have
died too conveniently.

I think this whole thing is orchestrated

and I think you're the conductor.

- Oh, come on, John.

That's ridiculous.

- I'm gonna nail you, Sam.

- Stop making threats, Crawford.

If you're gonna do something, do it.

There will be
no statement at this time.

We're still investigating.

Who are you?

There he is, there he is.

Mr. Brady, Mr. Brady.

- Whoa whoa whoa whoa, folks folks.

Folks, calm down.

All right, look, I'd like
to make a statement here.

- Sir.

- It's all right, David, it's
all right, it's all right.

Senator Crawford has made
some very serious allegations

against myself, my office,
and the police department.

Now, first we didn't acknowledge them,

because we attributed them to a man,

who in all fairness, had recently suffered

a great loss,

but after reading last night's report

on the execution style
murder of officer Mulroney,

we do know believe that
he and Victor Crawford

were involved in one way or another.

One or both of them involved
in drug trafficking.

- What about the senator's
allegations of your involvement?

- What about it?

Mr. Brady, senator Crawford

has alleged that this whole
case was a political move

on your part and that his son...

- Was caught with cocaine.

- Are you planning on
running for the senate, sir?

- Sir, I do not think that

that is an appropriate
question at this time.

Now, in regards to the drug charges,

we are going to do a full-scale investi...

Somebody stop that woman.

Out of my way.

Come on, out of my way.

David, did you see it?

No, I saw it.

- Sam, what is going on?

- Who did you think it was, sir?

- My wife, she's been, she's been missing

for a couple of days.

- You mean you and your
wife are separated?

- What?

- Did you say you and
your wife are separated?

- No, I didn't say that.

Would you, just get out
of my, get out of my face!

All of you, get out!

- Thank you, thank you.

- David, get me out of here.

- Let's go, let's go.

- A soul must leave this plane in peace.

- Ghosts, you're talking about ghosts.

- Genevieve is obsessed
with visions of violence.

She feels that something or someone

is trying to contact her.

- And you're telling me
you believe all this.

- Let me tell you a story.

There was once a man doing life.

He'd beaten his wife to death,

but he'd see her in the dining
hall, in the exercise yard,

everywhere.

At night he would scream that
she was in the cell with him.

- Yeah, well of course.

His mind was playing tricks on him.

- One day he was working in the metal shop

and he started screaming and
yelling that she was there,

to tell her to leave him alone.

Now, before anyone could stop him,

he plunged a screwdriver
into his right eye

and then into his left eye.

I certainly hope you don't
want me to tell anybody

that you saw a ghost.

Something bothering you?

I mean, is there something
you'd like to share with me?

- No, nothing, nothing at all.

- A guard said that after he was healed,

he was blind in both eyes.

Still late at night,

he'd scream that he could still hear her.

The eyes of the soul are everywhere.

We can not hide from the truth.

- Maybe now you believe me.

- Barbara, ghosts do not exist.

The answer to all this haunting

is somewhere up at the cabin.

There are other forces at work here

and I'm gonna find out what they are.

- But we kept seeing her here, Sam.

- Yes, but it started up at the cabin.

There's something that we're missing.

- So when will I see you again?

- How long are you gonna be gone?

- Two months.

- That's perfect.

Don't you see that's perfect?

After I report Genevieve missing,

I'm gonna be going back and
forth to the lake acting crazy,

like I don't know what's going on.

There's gonna be a lot of focus on me.

I'll call you as soon as I get there.

- Do you have to leave right this minute?

- Barbara.

- I'm not gonna see you for two months.

- I know, but,

oh you drive me crazy.

How do you do this to me?

What is that?

- What?

- Did you hear that?

I heard something.

- Check it out.

- Yeah.

- And if it's nothing.

- Hold that thought.

I'll be back.

Barbara, did you lock the
front door when you came in?

I'm coming.

You forgot to lock the door.

I still love you.

You hear me?

I said I love you.

You sleeping?

Barbara?

Barbara?

Hello, Sam.

- No.

- Hello, Sam.

- No no.

- I had to come back.

I was the only one who knew.

- No.

- Knew about killing me, raping Barbara.

- You're dead, you're dead.

I buried you.

- Remember, I can slow
my pulse and heartbeat

down to nothing.

- What?

- You raped Barbara and deceived me.

- So, you killed her?

- You're right, Sam.

We should've kept her out of our lives.

Oh, Sam, you were right, out of our lives.

We should've kept her our of our lives.

- You're crazy.

You're crazy.

Somebody's gotta lock you away.

- When people find out
about you and Mulroney.

Mmmm.

- Oh, so you did listen on the phone.

Now I have to clean up this business too.

You are gonna die.

I'm gonna kill you.

- No, I don't think so, Sam.

- What?

- You okay?

- Yeah.

Oh my god, did we kill him?

- Where's the tape?

Go go, come on.

The tape.

- Got it?

- Got it.

- You look good as a blonde.

- Ah.

- I'll get you.

I'm gonna kill you.

I am gonna kill you.

I am going to kill you.

You're dead.

David, you were in on this?

- He's got your job now, Sam.

Bravo.

- Blanks.

You were using blanks.

That's how you did this?

Okay okay okay.

All right, all right.

Oh god.

Ah, ah.

- Now it's over

and now you know what it's like to lose.

- Kiss my butt.

- Caught in traffic?

- Tape's upstairs.

- Never mess with a senator
from the United States.

- Those visions, the
three people struggling?

- What about them?

- Sometimes you're so weird.

- I don't mind tormenting men,

but I like to do it with a certain

Je ne sais quoi.
