Diagnosis Murder (1993–2001): Season 7, Episode 16 - Murder by Remote - full transcript
Steve's new house has its security system installed by a shady home security mogul, who claims that his rival has been sabotaging his computer.
GEEZ.
THEY FINISHED?
UH, A FEW MORE DAYS,
WEEK AT THE MOST
THEY'LL HAVE
THE FLOOR DUG OUT
AND THEY'LL BE ABLE
TO START SHORING UP
AND RESURFACING.
I'M NOT GOING
TO LAST THAT LONG.
YOU KNOW, MAYBE
YOU OUGHT TO, UH...
WORK A DIFFERENT SHIFT
FOR A FEW WEEKS.
DAD, IT DOESN'T
WORK THAT WAY.
WELL, CAN'T YOU
TELL THE CRIMINALS
WHAT TIME
TO DO THEIR CRIMES?
I THINK THE ONLY
SOLUTION IS FOR ME
TO MOVE.
WELL, YOU KNOW
I COULD PROBABLY
GET YOU A GOOD DEAL
ON A HOTEL.
NO, ACTUALLY I'VE BEEN
MEANING TO TALK TO YOU.
I WAS THINKING THAT,
YOU KNOW, MAYBE IT'S TIME
FOR ME TO BUY MY OWN PLACE.
MM-HMM.
WELL, I GUESS A HOUSE
IS A GOOD INVESTMENT.
YEAH, THAT AND PLUS
IT'LL BE CLOSER TO WORK.
YEAH.
THERE'S ALSO
THE TAX WRITE-OFF.
MM-HMM.
THE THING IS, IT'S
ALWAYS SO QUIET
AND PEACEFUL HERE AT THE BEACH.
WHAT!
I SAID IT'S SO PEACEFUL
AND QUIET HERE AT THE BEACH.
Home system:
Good morning, Lana.
It's 6:55.
The exterior temperature is 64
degrees fahrenheit and rising.
IS THE POOL READY?
The pool water is a stable
82 degrees fahrenheit.
OPEN THE POOL COVER THEN.
Lana, you have a visitor.
Hey, you up?
COME 'ROUND BACK, JESSE.
LET HIM IN.
Security system disengaged.
WOW.
THIS PLACE IS SOMETHING.
THANKS.
HI.
HI.
MY DAD SAID
HE BUILT IT
JUST SO THAT I'D
MOVE BACK HOME.
I GUESS IT WORKED, HUH?
I GUESS IT DID.
HEY, IS THERE A PLACE
I CAN PUT THESE ON?
YEAH. THE BATHROOM IS
JUST OFF THE KITCHEN.
I LEFT SOME O.J.
ON THE COUNTER.
OKAY, THANKS.
Home system:
Warning. Do not use the
pool.
LANA?
Warning. Do not use the pool.
LANA?
LANA?
It is now safe
to enter the pool.
HOW COULD SHE HAVE BEEN
ELECTROCUTED?
PROBABLY A SHORT
IN ONE OF THE
UNDERWATER LIGHTS.
WE WON'T KNOW
FOR CERTAIN
UNTIL WE CAN
DRAIN THE POOL
AND OUR TECHNICIAN
CAN DO A FULL
EXAMINATION.
HOW WELL DID YOU
KNOW THIS GIRL?
LANA? WE WERE
FRIENDS, KIND OF.
WHAT KIND OF?
WELL, SHE MOVED BACK
TO L.A. AFTER COLLEGE
AND HER MOM GAVE HER
MY PHONE NUMBER.
HMM.
SO DID HER MOTHER WANT
HER TO BE A DOCTOR
OR MARRY A DOCTOR?
I DON'T KNOW. A LITTLE BIT OF
BOTH, I GUESS.
HER MOM IS A SURGEON.
SHE USED TO WORK
AT COMMUNITY GENERAL.
AND THIS IS LANA'S
FATHER'S HOUSE?
YEAH, SHE WAS
LIVING HERE.
SORT OF A TEMPORARY
PERMANENT THING.
KIND OF LIKE YOU AND...
KIND OF LIKE ME
AND MY DAD?
NO, 'CAUSE THAT'S, LIKE,
ENTIRELY DIFFERENT.
NO, SHE-SHE JUST MOVED IN.
AND I'VE BEEN LIVING
WITH MY FATHER FOREVER?
YOU GUYS HAVE
A GREAT HOUSE
ON THE BEACH
AND YOU GET
ALONG SO WELL.
I'M MOVING OUT.
REALLY?
YEAH. I'VE ALREADY GOT
A REALTOR LOOKING.
JESS, DON'T MESS WITH THAT
TILL WE'RE FINISHED.
IT WASN'T ME.
IT'S THE COMPUTER.
THE COMPUTER CLOSED THE BLINDS?
THE ENTIRE HOUSE IS WIRED.
A STATE-OF-THE-ART COMPUTER
RUNS EVERYTHING.
THE BLINDS ARE SET
TO CLOSE EVERY TIME
THE SUNLIGHT HITS IT
AT A DIFFERENT ANGLE.
WELL, YOU CAN DO THAT?
THIS HOUSE CAN
DO ANYTHING.
IT EVEN WARNED LANA
NOT TO JUMP IN THE POOL.
AND SHE DID ANYWAY?
I DON'T KNOW.
I WAS HERE IN THE KITCHEN.
YOU KNOW THE NAME OF THE COMPANY
THAT INSTALLED THIS SYSTEM WOULD
YOU?
I GUESS WE COULD FIND OUT.
MAY I SEE
SOME IDENTIFICATION, PLEASE?
Lieutenant Steve Sloan.
THANK YOU, LIEUTENANT.
LIEUTENANT.
YOUR SYSTEM OPENED
THE DOOR, MR. LOCATELLI?
BRUCE, PLEASE.
YES. YES, IT DID.
IT ALSO SENSED YOUR PRESENCE
AND TURNED ON THE LIGHTS.
WOULD YOU COME
TO MY OFFICE?
YOUR SOUND SYSTEM'S
ON SENSORS, TOO?
"AND HE SHALL HAVE MUSIC
WHEREVER HE GOES."
IF YOU DON'T LIKE
THE SELECTION
MY CD LIBRARY IS
AT YOUR COMMAND.
WELL, ACTUALLY MY COMMAND.
IT ONLY RESPONDS
TO VOICES IT RECOGNIZES.
IS THIS THE SAME SYSTEM
YOU INSTALLED AT
JOHN KRAVITZ'S HOUSE?
TERRIBLE TRAGEDY THERE.
MUTE THE MUSIC, PLEASE.
WHAT'S THAT?
A VIDEO CAPTURE.
HELL OF A LOT BETTER
THAN A PRINTOUT.
WHO DECIDES
WHERE THE CAMERAS GO?
YOU PAY, I PUT.
WHAT'S TO KEEP YOU FROM SPYING
ON YOUR CUSTOMERS?
THE ENTIRE SYSTEM IS
DOUBLE-PASSWORD PROTECTED
SO WHEN YOU CONTACTED
MR. KRAVITZ
HE DIALED IN,
ENTERED HIS SECRET PASSWORD
WHICH ALLOWED ME
TO USE MINE
TO OPEN THE SYSTEM
AND SHOW YOU THIS.
HAL, IF YOU WOULD.
YOU NAMED YOUR COMPUTER "HAL"?
YES, AFTER THE MOVIE.
IT'S KIND OF A JOKE.
DIDN'T HAL KILL PEOPLE?
WELL, IT SEEMED LIKE A GOOD JOKE
AT THE TIME.
OF COURSE, I NAMED HIM
BEFORE I SAW THIS.
Home system:
Warning. Do not use the pool.
Do not use the pool.
I THINK THAT'S ENOUGH.
CAN YOU GIVE ME A COPY OF THAT?
OH, I HAD IT MADE
AS WE SPOKE.
NOW, YOU'LL FIND
THAT MY SYSTEM
NOT ONLY SENSED
THE SHORT
BUT CLOSED DOWN THE POWER
TO THE POOL AS WELL.
WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS,
IF THAT YOUNG WOMAN
HAD BEEN ANYPLACE ELSE
BUT IN THE WATER
AT THE TIME
OF THE SHORT
THIS NEVER WOULD
HAVE HAPPENED?
THE LOCATELLI
HOME COMMAND AND
CONTROL SYSTEM
IS NOT JUST ANOTHER MEANS
FOR YOU NEVER TO TOUCH
ANOTHER DOORKNOB,
LIEUTENANT.
IT'S THE MOST POWERFUL
HOME SECURITY
AND SAFETY SYSTEM
ON THE MARKET.
WELL, I MEAN, THE FIRST TIME
I HEARD OF YOU
I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL,
A MERE CHILD REALLY.
YOU WERE IN THE NEWSPAPER.
I SAID TO MYSELF
THAT, THAT IS WHAT
I WANT TO BE.
A MEDICAL EXAMINER?
YOU.
OH, I WANTED
TO BE YOU.
OH, HOW NICE.
AND HERE I AM.
A THIRD-YEAR
MEDICAL STUDENT
AND NOT ONLY TALKING
WITH MY IDOL
BUT ACTUALLY
WORKING WITH HER.
OH, I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND
MY SAYING ALL OF THIS.
OH, NOT AT ALL. CARRY ON.
IF I COULD JUST BE
THE NEXT DR. AMANDA BENTLEY.
WELL, WHERE WOULD
THAT LEAVE ME?
RETIRED.
HOW LOVELY.
I DIDN'T MEAN THAT
THE WAY IT SOUNDED.
YOU KNOW,
I MEANT YEARS FROM NOW
AFTER YOU'VE TAUGHT ME
EVERYTHING YOU KNOW.
EXCUSE ME,
DR. BENTLEY.
WE HAVE A 51-YEAR-OLD WOMAN,
NO PREVIOUS ILLNESS
WHO DIED TWO HOURS
AFTER ADMISSION.
SYMPTOMS?
HIGH FEVER, CHILLS,
RASH, HEADACHE.
WHO'S THE PHYSICIAN?
DR. HOROWITZ.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK.
I'M TELLING YOU, DAD.
I'VE SEEN THE FUTURE
AND IT WORKS.
DR. SLOAN, I PRESUME?
YES. HOW DO YOU DO?
WILL YOU BE SHARING
THE HOUSE WITH YOUR SON?
WELL, ACTUALLY
WE ALREADY SHARE
A WONDERFUL HOUSE.
THERE'S A THREE-BEDROOM
I CAN SHOW YOU.
THIS WILL BE
FINE. THANKS.
OPEN SAYS ME.
IN FIVE YEARS,
EVERY NEW HOUSE
WILL COME WITH
THESE FEATURES.
I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE
ON THE CUTTING EDGE.
IT TOOK SOME LOOKING,
BUT THIS PLACE HAS GOT
EVERYTHING YOU ASKED
FOR AND MORE.
THE STUDY'S BEEN CONVERTED
TO A SAFETY BUNKER.
ITS' FIREPROOF,
EARTHQUAKE PROOF
AND RIOT PROOF.
ISN'T THAT A BIT
OF OVERKILL?
UH, THE OWNER DIDN'T THINK SO,
SIR.
HE HAD A FRIEND KILLED
IN THE RIOTS A FEW YEARS AGO.
UH, THESE
AIR VENTS
WHEN THE ROOM
IS SHUT DOWN
FRESH AIR
IS PUMPED IN.
OH, HE SURE THOUGHT
OF EVERYTHING, DIDN'T HE?
NOTICE THAT
EVERY ROOM
IS BOTH D.S.L.
AND CABLE
MODEM READY.
D.S.L.?
OH, THE INTERNET.
WHO COULD LIVE
WITHOUT IT THESE DAYS?
WELL, IT'S NOT
A BIG PART
OF MY LIFE.
I HAVE TO ADMIT,
I'M SOMEWHAT
OF A TROGLODYTE
IN THAT AREA.
ESPECIALLY AFTER
WHAT HAPPENED
TO LANA KRAVITZ.
DAD... THE COMPUTER
DIDN'T KILL HER.
DID YOU KNOW
HER MOTHER WORKED
AT COMMUNITY GENERAL?
DR. JANET KRAVITZ.
YEAH, JESSE
MENTIONED IT.
DID YOU KNOW HER WELL?
NO, NOT REALLY
BUT I DID TALK TO
HER AT THE FUNERAL.
YOU KNOW,
IT'S INTERESTING.
SHE WAS CONTACTED
TO SEE IF SHE WANTED
ONE OF THESE SYSTEMS
IN HER HOUSE IN BOSTON.
OH, HOW'D SHE LIKE IT?
SHE DIDN'T.
SHE TURNED
THEM DOWN.
SAID IT
REMINDED HER
TOO MUCH OF
HER EX-HUSBAND.
LOOK, DAD, I LIKE
THIS HOUSE A LOT.
GOOD.
I MEAN, YOU'RE
THE ONE THAT'S
GOING TO LIVE HERE.
THE OWNER IS IN THE MIDDLE
OF DIVORCE HELL.
HE'S WILLING TO DO
A QUITCLAIM
IF YOU WANT TO MOVE IN
RIGHT AWAY.
NO KIDDING?
HEY, I WANTED TO ASK YOU
ABOUT THAT JACUZZI OUT THERE.
Dr. Sloan:
ELLIE, THANK YOU
FOR DOING THIS FOR ME.
IT'S MY PLEASURE.
I LOVE THE INTERNET.
IT'S HOW I KEEP UP
WITH MY PARENTS
MY GRANDPARENTS,
MY BOYFRIEND.
IN FACT, THESE DAYS
IT'S PRACTICALLY
THE ONLY WAY
I TALK AT ALL.
YOU KNOW,
I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW
THE HOSPITAL
HAD A WEBSITE.
EVERYTHING HAS A WEBSITE.
I CAN EVEN SET UP A PERSONAL ONE
FOR YOU.
NO, THANK YOU.
WANT TO SEE
HOW MANY TIMES DR. BENTLEY'S
NAME IS MENTIONED IN THE PAPER?
CAN YOU DO THAT?
IT CAN FIND ANYTHING.
WHAT IF I WANTED TO FIND
A COMPUTER SYSTEM FOR MY HOME?
COULD YOU FIND THAT?
NAME IT.
HOME COMMAND AND CONTROL SYSTEMS
DESIGNED BY A MAN NAMED
BRUCE LOCATELLI, I THINK.
FIRST, WE GO TO A SEARCH ENGINE.
D.W.P.
YEAH, I GOT YOUR MESSAGE,
BUT I'M STILL PUZZLED.
WE ALREADY PASSED
OUR CODE INSPECTION.
OH, UH, IT'S A NEW
SERVICE THAT WE PROVIDE.
ROUTINE INSPECTION
BEFORE A CUSTOMER MOVES IN.
HOW DID YOU KNOW
THIS HOUSE SOLD?
MULTIPLE LISTINGS.
WELL, YOU GO AHEAD.
DOOR IS OPEN.
I'VE GOT TO DELIVER
SOME GOOD NEWS.
WELL, THANK YOU.
OH, THAT'S GREAT.
CLOSING TOMORROW
AT VALLEY BROOK FEDERAL, 2:00.
RIGHT. THANKS.
HAL, ARE YOU THERE?
This isn't our system, Bruce.
I KNOW...
BUT I CAN TAKE IT OVER...
AND NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW
THAT WE WERE HERE.
YOU KNOW, IT'S AMAZING
WHAT YOU CAN FIND ON THE WEB.
THEY HAD CANCER RESEARCH
THAT HASN'T EVEN BEEN
PUBLISHED YET.
UH-HUH.
AND THEN I LOOKED UP
OLD FRED ASTAIRE MOVIES.
THEY HAD A NEARLY COMPLETE
LIST OF ALL THE CREDITS.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
UH, DONATE IT.
YEAH.
THEN I FOUND SOMETHING
ELSE REMARKABLE.
DID I ACTUALLY
EVER WEAR THIS?
YEAH, YOU DID.
I FOUND HOME COMMAND
AND CONTROL SYSTEMS.
DAD, THAT DEATH
WAS AN ACCIDENT
AND I HAD LONG
CONVERSATIONS
WITH THE FATHER
THE MOTHER, I CHECKED
WITH THE FRIENDS...
NOBODY SUSPECTS
FOUL PLAY.
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT
SYBIL THORSTON SAID.
OKAY, DAD, I'LL BITE.
WHO IS SYBIL THORSTON?
DENISE THORSTON'S MOTHER,
UP IN HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT.
AND THE CONNECTION
BETWEEN DENISE THORSTON
AND LANA KRAVITZ
IS WHAT EXACTLY?
THEY BOTH DIED
IN POOL ACCIDENTS
AND BOTH HOUSES HAD
BRUCE LOCATELLI'S SYSTEM
IN THERE.
DAD, COMPUTERS
DO NOT KILL PEOPLE.
DOESN'T THAT STRIKE YOU
AS A LITTLE BIT SUSPICIOUS?
WAS THERE ANY
OTHER CONNECTION
BETWEEN THESE DEATHS?
NONE THAT I KNOW OF, NO.
WELL, THEN,
NO, I DON'T.
I DON'T WORRY
ABOUT HAVING
A SYSTEM EITHER.
THIS BRUCE CHARACTER
DIDN'T EVEN MAKE MINE.
THIS ISN'T ABOUT
YOUR NEW HOUSE.
NO, OF COURSE NOT.
YOU KNOW, MAYBE IT'D
BE A GOOD IDEA
JUST TO SHUT IT OFF
UNTIL WE LOOK INTO THIS
A LITTLE FURTHER.
DAD, I LIKE
MY NEW HOUSE.
THE COMPUTER SYSTEM'S
ONE OF THE REASONS
I BOUGHT IT.
AND THE POLICE INVESTIGATION
WAS THOROUGH.
YOU THINK I'M
BEING FOOLISH, HUH?
NO, NOT AT ALL.
COULDN'T TALK YOU
OUT OF THOSE EITHER.
HECK, NO,
THESE ARE KEEPERS.
DO YOU EVER GET USED
TO ALL THIS AUTOMATED STUFF?
HONESTLY?
I'VE GOTTEN
TO THE POINT
WHERE IT ANNOYS ME
TO HAVE TO USE
A LIGHT SWITCH.
EXCUSE ME,
MR. LOCATELLI.
I'M FINISHED,
UNLESS YOU NEED ME.
OH, NO, MARIA.
HASTA MANANA.
HASTA MANANA.
GRACIAS, POR TODO.
THAT'S THE CLEANING LADY?
MY HOUSE MANAGER.
COULDN'T LIVE
WITHOUT HER.
DOES THE COMPUTER
RESPOND TO HER VOICE
AS WELL AS YOURS?
YES. I PROGRAMMED
THE SYSTEM
WITH A FULL
SPANISH VOCABULARY.
PLEASE, SIT DOWN.
AND YOU CAN RESTRICT
ACCESS ANY TIME YOU WANT?
I CAN DO ANYTHING.
YOU CAN,
NOT YOUR COMPUTER?
THE COMPUTER'S ONLY AS GOOD
AS THE PROGRAMMER.
YOU KNOW, THAT'S
ALMOST THE SAME THING
MY SON SAID
WHEN I PRESENTED HIM
WITH A VERY CURIOUS COINCIDENCE.
I WAS CHECKING OUT
YOUR SYSTEM ON THE INTERNET...
DENISE THORSTON.
YOU KNEW ABOUT THAT?
YOU THINK THE POLICE
DIDN'T INVESTIGATE
THAT DEATH, TOO?
WOULD YOU MIND
EXPLAINING WHAT HAPPENED THERE?
WELL, IT SEEMS SHE ORDERED
THE POOL COVER TO CLOSE
WHILE SHE WAS
STILL IN THE WATER.
WHY WOULD SHE DO THAT?
SHE WAS DRUNK.
AND YOU'RE POSITIVE IT WAS
DENISE THAT GAVE THAT COMMAND?
THAT'S WHAT
THE COMPUTER RECORDS SHOW.
IS IT POSSIBLE
FOR ANYONE ELSE TO ISSUE
A COMMAND TO THIS SYSTEM?
YOU, FOR EXAMPLE?
YOU GOT
INTO THE KRAVITZ SYSTEM.
ALL MY SYSTEMS ARE
DOUBLE-PASSWORD PROTECTED
SO, NO, NOT WITHOUT
THE OWNER'S PERMISSION.
I DON'T KNOW MUCH
ABOUT COMPUTERS
BUT JESSE TOLD ME
THOSE SYSTEMS HAVE...
WHAT'D YOU CALL IT?
BACKDOOR.
SO THE MANUFACTURERS CAN
CORRECT ERRORS IN THE PROGRAM.
SO YOU DO HAVE A MEANS
FOR GETTING AROUND
THE DOUBLE-PASSWORD SYSTEM
DON'T YOU,
MR. LOCATELLI?
YOU KNOW, I REALLY HATE
TO DO THIS.
DO WHAT?
WHAT I'M ABOUT TO SAY.
TO BACKDOOR INTO A SYSTEM
REQUIRES A HIGH LEVEL
OF SOPHISTICATION
NOT TO MENTION A PRIOR KNOWLEDGE
OF THE PROGRAM'S
PROPRIETARY CODES.
AND YOU MEET BOTH CRITERIA.
AND SO DOES MY COMPETITION.
ANY PARTICULAR COMPETITION?
DONALD PURDY, MY SYSTEM'S
BEATING THE PANTS OFF HIS.
ARE YOU SUGGESTING
THAT PURDY DELIBERATELY KILLED
DENISE THORSTON
JUST TO MAKE YOUR SYSTEM
LOOK UNSAFE?
AND THAT IS EXACTLY
THE KIND OF ACCUSATION
I DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE.
THAT JERK.
I BET HE LED YOU
RIGHT TO ME, HUH?
AS A MATTER OF
FACT, HE DID.
YOU KNOW WHY?
BECAUSE I'M GOING
TO PUT BRUCE THE GOOSE
OUT OF BUSINESS.
SOUNDS LIKE
YOU TWO HAVE
QUITE A BEEF GOING.
HE STOLE MY SYSTEM!
I OUGHT TO KILL HIM!
WHAT ABOUT KILLING
HIS CLIENTS?
THAT WOULD BE BAD
FOR BUSINESS.
"COMPUTER KILLS HOMEOWNER,
FILM AT 11:00."
NOW, WHAT ARE YOU GOING
TO THINK?
BRUCE'S BUTLER DID IT?
OR THAT ANY SYSTEM ON THE MARKET
IS SUDDENLY SUSPECT?
THE SAME COULD BE
SAID FOR BRUCE.
ACCIDENTS WOULDN'T DO
HIS BUSINESS ANY GOOD.
I'M TALKING
ABOUT A RATIONAL HUMAN BEING.
YOU'RE TALKING
ABOUT BRUCE LOCATELLI.
WHY WOULD HE MURDER
HIS OWN CLIENTS?
WHY DOES A GUY
CLIMB A BELL TOWER
AND START SHOOTING?
Locatelli:
NO MORE SWIMMING POOLS, HAL.
I understand, Bruce.
LET'S TURN OUR ATTENTION
TO OUR NEXT TARGET,
JERRY TAM.
WHERE DOES HE LIVE AGAIN?
Jerry Tam
lives in Montreal.
Bruce:
OH, COLD WEATHER CLIMATE.
That is correct, Bruce.
HE SNEAKS HIS SMOKES
IN THE SHED.
That is correct, Bruce.
FULL SCREEN, PLEASE, HAL.
This was captured yesterday.
There is a handyman's workshop
in the garage
complete with a sink
with running water.
These propane tanks are
connected to a heater.
PROPANE?
The heater is on a thermostat.
The propane is computer-
controlled to turn on
whenever the temperature
drops below freezing.
TO KEEP THE PIPES
FROM BURSTING.
That is correct, Bruce.
Jerry Tam comes into the shed
every evening at approximately
5:00 p.m. eastern time.
I SEE.
Which would not be
a problem unless...
UNLESS THE PILOT LIGHT
WERE OUT.
Is that a command, Bruce?
GO AHEAD. TRY IT OUT.
CALL ME "PHIL."
OH, WHAT'S YOUR REAL NAME?
PHILIPPA.
SO, ARE YOU SHOPPING
FOR A FEW THINGS FOR DAD?
NO, ACTUALLY, WE'RE SHOPPING
FOR MY SON.
JUST BOUGHT
A NEW HOUSE.
GOT TIRED OF LIVING
WITH THE OLD MAN.
I DON'T THINK
SHE NEEDS TO HEAR
OUR ENTIRE FAMILY HISTORY, DAD.
IT'S ACTUALLY ONE
OF THE GREAT THINGS
ABOUT OWNING A STORE LIKE THIS.
YOU GET TO LEARN
ABOUT SUCH INTIMATE
DETAILS OF
PEOPLE'S LIVES.
WELL, I'M LOOKING
FOR A COUCH
ARMCHAIRS,
COFFEE TABLE.
OKAY. WELL, THEN BY ALL MEANS,
SAMPLE THE MERCHANDISE.
SO, DO YOU HAVE
ANY PARTICULAR COLORS IN MIND?
WELL, THIS PUCE IS NICE.
OKAY. DOES IT GO
WITH YOUR HOME'S COLOR SCHEME?
I DON'T THINK IT HAS
A COLOR SCHEME.
MY, MY, MY, YOU ARE
FIRST TIME...
AND AN AVAILABLE
BACHELOR.
THAT OBVIOUS?
BEEN SHOPPING AROUND FOR LONG?
NOT FOR FURNITURE.
ABRA LA PUERTA DE ENFRENTE,
POR FAVOR.
MR. LOCATELLI?
MR. LOCATELLI?
Hay un problema
en la recamera principal.
Hay un problema
en la recamera principal.
Hay un problema
en la recamera principal.
MR. LOCATELLI?!
ABRE LA PUERTA DE LA RECAMERA!
Hay fuego en el systema ventana.
ABRA LAS VENTANAS!
Jesse:
HOW'D THIS HAPPEN?
THE WINDOWS WERE LOCKED.
THE BEDROOM
FILLED WITH SMOKE.
WHAT ARE THE VITALS?
BP's 90/50, PULSE
110 AND THREADY.
RESPIRATORY
RATE OF 58.
WAS THERE ANY
BLOOD DRAWN
AT THE SCENE?
YES, SIR.
LET'S GET HIM
INTO TRAUMA ONE.
LOOK AT THAT BLOOD
FOR C.B.C., ELECTROLYTES,
LACTATE LEVEL
AND CARBOXYHEMOGLOBIN.
GET ME AN INTUBATION TRAY
WITH AN EIGHT-MILLIMETER TUBE
AND PAGE RESPIRATORY
FOR SOME STAT A.B.G.s.
I WANT TO START ANOTHER LINE
IN THE OTHER ARM
AND GET A STAT
PORTABLE CHEST FILM.
WHAT WERE
THE PRESENTING SYMPTOMS?
SUFFOCATION DUE
TO SMOKE INHALATION.
THERE APPEARS TO BE
UPPER AIRWAY EDEMA.
I'M HAVING
A TOUGH TIME
VISUALIZING
THE VOCAL CHORDS.
I CAN'T SEE WHAT
I'M DOING HERE.
WE NEED TO DO
AN EMERGENCY TRACH.
HE'S ARRESTING.
200 JOULES.
CLEAR!
CLEAR.
300 JOULES.
CLEAR!
CLEAR.
WE'VE LOST HIM.
ALL RIGHT... THERE.
THAT OUGHT
TO DO IT.
I HOPE SO.
OH, THAT'S NICE.
AH... JUST AS UNCOMFORTABLE
AS IT LOOKS.
STEVE, YOU'VE GOT
GREAT TASTE.
YEAH, SEE?
YOU REMEMBER WHEN WE FIRST
MOVED TO THE BEACH?
CAROL STARTED CRYING
THE MINUTE SHE
WALKED IN THE DOOR.
SAID "THIS ISN'T OUR HOUSE."
Mark:
SO HE TOOK HER
BY THE HAND
AND SAID, "LET ME SHOW YOU
WHAT WE CAN DO" ALL BY HERSELF.
AND TOOK HER RIGHT DOWN
TO THE BEACH.
AND YOU WEREN'T WORRIED?
KATHERINE DID ENOUGH
WORRYING FOR THE BOTH OF US.
AND I TOLD HER STEVE WASN'T
GOING TO LET ANYTHING HAPPEN
TO HIS
LITTLE SISTER.
I COULDN'T HAVE BEEN
MORE THAN 11.
SLOAN HERE.
STEVE WAS ALWAYS
SO RESPONSIBLE
EVEN WHEN HE
WAS A KID.
YEAH, WELL, THINGS
WERE SAFER THEN.
OH, I DON'T KNOW. SOMETIMES I
THINK
WE JUST KNOW ABOUT THE DANGERS
MORE NOW.
YEAH, MAYBE.
YOU ALL RIGHT?
I DON'T...
I WAS JUST THINKING
WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE
TO SAVE BRUCE LOCATELLI.
Steve:
BRUCE LOCATELLI'S
COMPUTER
HAS A FULL RECORD
OF WHAT HAPPENED.
MALFUNCTION?
NO, SOMEBODY
COMPROMISED THE SYSTEM
FROM THE
OUTSIDE.
SOMEBODY DELIBERATELY
TURNED OFF THE PILOT?
I'M AFRAID SO.
BUT WHO?
IT'S GOT TO BE HIS COMPETITOR...
UH, DONALD PURDY?
SO THEN, PURDY MURDERED BRUCE.
LOOKS THAT WAY.
BRUCE SAID THAT PURDY
WAS OUT TO GET HIM.
YEAH, BUT STILL...
I AM SO SURE BRUCE HIMSELF
WAS BEHIND THOSE TWO MURDERS.
WELL, CHERYL'S PICKING UP
PURDY NOW.
I GOT TO GET BACK
TO THE STATION.
WHAT KIND OF POLICE STATE
YOU RUNNING HERE?
MR. PURDY'S BEEN READ HIS RIGHTS
AND REFUSED A LAWYER.
I GOT A LAWYER
ALL RIGHT... A GOOD ONE.
I'M GOING TO SUE YOU BLIND.
YOU'RE FACING MULTIPLE
MURDER CHARGES, MR. PURDY.
I WASN'T ANYWHERE NEAR
BRUCIE-BOY.
NO, BUT HIS COMPUTER INDICATES
AN ILLEGAL INTRUSION
INITIATED BY
YOUR SYSTEM.
THAT'S A LIE.
HERE'S A PRINTOUT. TAKE A LOOK.
YOU SET ME UP.
SIT DOWN, MR. PURDY.
THE HELL I WILL!
FIRST, YOUR
STORM TROOPERS
COME INTO MY PLACE OF
BUSINESS...
EITHER SIT DOWN
OR I'LL HAVE TO CUFF YOU.
WHY DON'T YOU SHOOT ME
WHILE YOU'RE AT IT!
YOU'RE UNDER ARREST.
YOU ALL RIGHT?
YEAH, I'LL LIVE.
IT WAS SELF-DEFENSE.
YEAH? TRY "ASSAULTING
A POLICE OFFICER."
COME ON.
STEVE SAID PURDY JUST
HAULED OFF AND HIT HER.
I THOUGHT THE MAN
WAS ALL BARK AND NO BITE.
WELL, BULLIES TEND
TO BE COWARDS.
COWARDS... HOW?
LOOK AT THE WAY
HE'S KILLED...
FROM A DISTANCE, NEVER
CONFRONTING HIS VICTIMS...
YEAH... STILL SOMEHOW,
I JUST DON'T FEEL
RIGHT ABOUT IT.
DR. BENTLEY, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO DO NEXT.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO,
DR. SLOAN?
ABOUT WHAT?
WELL, I'VE BEEN TRYING TO NOTIFY
MR. LOCATELLI'S NEXT OF KIN.
FIRST, I TRIED ALL
THE LOCATELLIs
IN THE LOS ANGELES PHONE BOOK,
ALL... ONE OF THEM.
THEN I TRIED USING
THAT NEW NATIONAL SERVICE.
NOBODY NAMED LOCATELLI'S
EVEN HEARD OF HIM
SO THEN I TRIED USING THE
INTERNET, HOPING TO FIND
SOME RELATIVE
IN ITALY, MAYBE.
YOU CAN FIND PEOPLE IN ITALY?
YEAH, IF THEY'VE GOT E-MAIL.
ONLY THEY DON'T...
HAVE E-MAIL, I MEAN...
IF THEY EVEN EXIST!
YOU KNOW, I THINK
I KNOW SOMEBODY
WHO MIGHT BE ABLE
TO HELP US OUT.
HE'S HAD THESE PHOTOGRAPHS HERE
SINCE HE MOVED IN.
YOU KNOW WHO THEY ARE?
MR. LOCATELLI, HE WOULD
NOT SPEAK OF THEM.
WHEN A MAN DOES NOT
WANT TO SPEAK OF...
THOSE HE LOVES,
IT'S BEST NOT TO ASK.
IT IS MY FAULT HE'S DEAD.
WHY DO YOU SAY THAT?
EVERY DAY...
EVERY DAY,
I COME EXACTLY AT 7:00
TO MAKE MR. LOCATELLI'S
BREAKFAST.
BUT THIS DAY, THERE WAS, UH...
A LOT OF TRAFFIC.
I'M NEVER LATE.
BUT ON THIS ONE DAY, IF...
IF I HAD NOT BEEN LATE
ON THIS ONE DAY...
MR. LOCATELLI WOULD BE ALIVE.
MY BOYFRIEND COULDN'T BELIEVE
I WANTED TO WORK
WITH DEAD PEOPLE.
I'M SURE YOU'VE HEARD IT
A THOUSAND-MILLION
TIMES, RIGHT?
"WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP
A DEAD PERSON?"
I SAID... I'M SURE YOU SAY
THE EXACT SAME THING... I SAID:
"LIVE PEOPLE
ONLY CAUSE YOU TROUBLE.
"DEAD PEOPLE
JUST LIE THERE
WHILE YOU FIND OUT
ALL THEIR SECRETS."
DON'T YOU AGREE?
MM-HMM.
DR. BENTLEY,
DO YOU HAVE
THOSE AUTOPSY RESULTS
FOR DR. HOROWITZ?
YES. ELLIE,
WOULD YOU GET ANNETTE
THE MacDOUGAL AUTOPSY
REPORT, PLEASE?
CAUSE OF DEATH WAS SEPTICEMIA
BROUGHT ON
BY MENINGOCOCCAL INFECTION.
I KNOW
I PUT IT SOMEWHERE.
TRY THE FILE CABINET.
UH... I WAS GOING TO PUT
SOME FILES INTO STORAGE
BUT FOR THAT
I NEEDED A BOX.
I HAD THE FILE
IN MY HAND
DIDN'T WANT TO PUT IT
WITH THE CHEMICALS
AND IT DIDN'T BELONG
WITH MEDICATIONS EITHER.
I MEAN,
WE'D NEVER FIND IT.
I WAS GOING TO PUT IT
NEAR THE COMPUTER TEMPORARILY
BUT THEN THE PHONE RANG.
YOU WEREN'T HERE
SO I JUST PUT IT...
HERE.
I DON'T FAINT ANYMORE.
MR. LUCCA!
OH, THAT'S MR. LOCATELLI.
NO, IT'S NOT.
THAT'S MR. LUCCA.
I COULD NEVER
FORGET MR. LUCCA.
I WAS NEW ON THE JOB
AND HERE WAS THIS SWEET MAN.
HIS SON CAME IN
FOR A ROUTINE APPENDICITIS.
THE BOY HAD
A RUPTURED ANEURYSM
ON THE TABLE
AND I WAS ELECTED
TO TELL MR. LUCCA
THAT HIS SON HAD DIED.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE THE DEPTH
OF MR. LUCCA'S PAIN.
I NEVER THOUGHT
I WOULD UNDERSTAND
PAIN LIKE THAT.
I WAS WRONG.
WRONG HOW?
TWO YEARS LATER, MY SON DIED.
GOD...
I'VE NEVER RECOVERED.
MY MARRIAGE DISSOLVED.
MY LIFE, REALLY.
ANNETTE, FORGIVE ME FOR ASKING,
BUT HOW DID YOUR SON DIE?
WAS HE AT HOME?
HE WAS BACK FROM COLLEGE
FOR SPRING BREAK.
SOMEHOW HE ENDED UP
IN THE GARAGE
WITH THE CAR MOTOR
RUNNING.
I STILL DON'T BELIEVE
IT WAS SUICIDE.
I DON'T!
I'M SORRY.
NO, NO,
DON'T APOLOGIZE.
ANNETTE,
I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION
I DO HAVE TO ASK.
IN THE LUCCA APPENDECTOMY,
WAS THE SURGEON DR. KRAVITZ?
WELL, IT MAY NOT BE
MUCH CONSOLATION
BUT I CAN PROMISE YOU
THAT YOUR SON'S DEATH
WAS NOT A SUICIDE.
Mark:
WELL, NARDO LUCCA DID SUFFER
A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
HIS ONLY SON CARLO
GOT APPENDICITIS.
THEY BROUGHT HIM
TO OUR HOSPITAL
AND DURING THE OPERATION
AN ANEURYSM RUPTURED
AND THE BOY DIED.
THAT'S NOBODY'S FAULT.
THAT CAN HAPPEN TO ANY SURGEON
AT ANY TIME.
WELL, LUCCA DIDN'T
SEE IT THAT WAY.
HE SAW THIS VAST CONSPIRACY
AGAINST HIM.
HE SUED THE HOSPITAL
THE INSURANCE COMPANY,
EVERYBODY.
WASN'T THERE A MORTALITY REVIEW?
YEAH.
I CHAIRED IT
AND THE COURT
THREW HIS SUIT OUT.
AND NARDO WANTED JUSTICE.
WELL, HIS SON WAS DEAD
AND HIS MARRIAGE,
AS OFTEN HAPPENS, FELL APART.
HE WAS A MAN IN A LOT OF PAIN.
I DON'T GET IT.
I MEAN, IF BRUCE, OR NARDO,
OR WHATEVER HIS NAME WAS
WANTED TO KILL SOMEBODY,
WHY NOT THOSE RESPONSIBLE?
HE WANTED MORE VENGEANCE
THAN THAT.
HE WANTED HIS VICTIMS
TO EXPERIENCE HIS PAIN
BY KILLING THE CHILDREN
OF THOSE HE BLAMED
FOR KILLING HIS SON.
SO THEN LANA DIED
BECAUSE SHE WAS
DR. KRAVITZ'S DAUGHTER?
THAT'S RIGHT,
JUST AS ANNETTE'S SON DIED
BECAUSE SHE WAS A NURSE
AT THE OPERATION.
WHAT ABOUT THE VICTIM
IN HARTFORD?
WOULD THAT BE THE CHILD
OF THE INSURANCE INVESTIGATOR
IN THE CASE?
EXACTLY.
WHAT ABOUT PURDY?
DID HE KNOW
WHEN HE KILLED BRUCE?
YOU KNOW, I THINK PURDY
MAY BE GUILTY OF
ASSAULTING AN OFFICER,
BUT NOT OF MURDER.
I THINK THIS WHOLE THING
WAS A DIVERSIONARY TACTIC.
PRETTY EXTREME WAY
TO GET US OFF THE TRACK
DON'T YOU THINK?
WELL, BRUCE WAS NOT
SUPPOSED TO DIE.
THAT PILOT LIGHT WENT OFF
EXACTLY AT 7:00.
NOW, MARIA,
HIS HOUSEKEEPER
ALWAYS ARRIVED AT 7:00.
HE WAS COUNTING
ON HER
TO SAVE HIM.
THAT'S RIGHT,
ONLY THAT MORNING
THERE WAS A BAD ACCIDENT
ON THE FREEWAY
AND SHE WAS DELAYED
HALF AN HOUR.
SO, WHAT YOU'RE SAYING
IS THAT WE'RE DEALING
WITH A MURDERER
WHO WAS HIS OWN VICTIM.
I THINK WE SHOULD
JUST BE THANKFUL
THIS WHOLE THING IS OVER.
ADMIT IT, DAD.
BRUCE'S COMPUTER DIDN'T KILL
THOSE PEOPLE... BRUCE DID.
YEAH, I GUESS
YOU'RE RIGHT.
WELL, DID YOUR SYSTEM
COOK ALL THIS CHINESE FOOD?
ACTUALLY, IT WAS
THE CHINESE RESTAURANT
AROUND THE CORNER.
WHICH SEEMS
TO HAVE FORGOTTEN
THE MOO SHU PORK.
I'LL GO BACK.
OH, NO,
THIS IS PLENTY OF FOOD.
MM... GOOD, TOO.
YOU KNOW, TAKE-OUT'S
VERY IMPORTANT
FOR A MAN
WHO LIVES ALONE.
DAD...
MEN DON'T COOK
FOR THEMSELVES.
I RARELY DO IT.
DAD, IT'S NOT LIKE
I EAT DINNER AT HOME
THAT OFTEN ANYWAY.
WHY DO YOU THINK I
KNOW EVERY TAKE-OUT
PLACE IN MALIBU?
WELL, I'M VERY SORRY
TO DISTURB YOU
AND I'M SORRY
FOR YOUR LOSS.
AMANDA, WHAT'S WRONG?
UH...
I JUST PULLED
THE PATHOLOGY REPORT
ON THE LUCCA CASE
AND A COLLEAGUE OF MINE,
DR. TAM, DID THE AUTOPSY.
DID HE LOSE A CHILD, TOO?
YES.
HIS SON IN MONTREAL
AN HOUR AGO.
THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.
BRUCE DIED YESTERDAY MORNING.
ELLIE'S IDEA
OF AN E-MAIL ALERT.
IT'S NOT IMPOSSIBLE.
WHAT?
HOW'D THE BOY DIE?
UH, HE WAS SMOKING
IN A STORAGE SHED
FULL OF PROPANE TANKS.
BRUCE COULD HAVE PROGRAMMED
THE COMPUTER
TO TURN OFF THE PILOT LIGHT.
SO WE'VE GOT A MURDERER
WHO'S STILL KILLING
AFTER HE'S DEAD?
AMANDA, THAT PATHOLOGY REPORT...
CHECK TO SEE EVERYONE INVOLVED.
SEE IF THEY
HAVE CHILDREN.
OH...
JESSE, OH, MY GOD.
MARK CHAIRED THAT INQUIRY
AND STEVE HAS ONE
OF THOSE SYSTEMS.
HELLO?
JESS, I CAN'T HEAR YOU.
I'VE BEEN ON THE PHONE
ALL DAY.
MY BATTERY'S DYING.
HERE, USE MINE.
OH, I LEFT IT
IN THE CAR.
JESSE, LET ME
CALL YOU BACK
FROM A PAY PHONE.
I'LL GO GET IT.
NO, DON'T LET
YOUR SOUP GET COLD.
THERE'S A PAY PHONE
AT THE CHINESE RESTAURANT.
I'LL CALL FROM THERE.
YOU SURE?
YEAH.
THE TRUE TEST OF
GOOD CHINESE TAKE-OUT
IS MOO SHU PORK.
THIS'LL ONLY
TAKE A MINUTE.
ALL RIGHT.
Amanda:
JESSE
RELAX, OKAY?
YOU'RE MAKING ME
NERVOUS.
AS LONG AS STEVE
IS OUT OF THE HOUSE
HE'S NOT IN ANY
IMMEDIATE DANGER.
STEVE.
COMPUTERS...
OH, NO.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
YOUR DAD STILL INSIDE?
YEAH, THE COMPUTER SEEMS
TO HAVE FIGURED
THE SECURITY SYSTEM
IN THE STUDY.
I'VE CALLED
FOR A BATTERING RAM
AND A BLOWTORCH.
THIS MAY
TAKE AWHILE.
WE MAY NOT HAVE AWHILE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
THE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED
TO PUMP FRESH AIR
INTO THE ROOM.
IF THE COMPUTER'S
BEEN PROGRAMMED
TO CUT OFF THE AIR INTAKE
WE MAY NOT HAVE
MUCH TIME AT ALL.
IS THERE ANY WAY YOU
CAN HACK INTO THE SYSTEM?
TAKE CONTROL
OF THIS THING?
THAT'S WAY BEYOND
MY CAPABILITIES.
YOU NEED SOMEBODY
WHO KNOWS HOW
TO BACKDOOR...
PURDY.
PURDY.
HE'S BEEN RELEASED ON BAIL.
I'LL FIND HIM.
YOU GOT NOTHING ON ME!
I KNOW!
WHY ARE YOU RUNNING?
WHY ARE YOU HERE?
I NEED YOU.
WHAT WAS THAT?
DID I JUST HEAR YOU SAY,
"LET'S MAKE A DEAL"?
ANY LUCK?
NOT YET.
WHAT DO WE
NEED TO DO
TO HOOK YOU UP?
JUST STAND BACK
AND LET ME WORK.
I'M IN THE SYSTEM.
NOW, IF I CAN JUST
FIND THE OVERRIDE.
WHAT'S
THE STATUS INSIDE?
WE'VE MADE
NO CONTACT YET.
FOR A
LOUSY THIEF
THAT BRUCE
WAS ONE HELL
OF A PROGRAMMER.
JUST TELL US
YOU'RE BETTER.
OF COURSE
I'M BETTER.
AH! I'M IN.
ALL RIGHT, GET
SOME OXYGEN IN THERE.
OXYGEN LEVEL
IS NEARLY NORMAL.
ALL RIGHT,
LET'S GO.
DAD?
I... I THINK...
DON'T TRY AND TALK.
YOU'RE GOING
TO BE JUST FINE.
LET THEM
WORK, STEVE.
JESSE SAYS
YOU'RE GOING TO BE FINE.
TAKES MORE THAN A
COMPUTER TO KILL ME.
I, UH... FOUND THAT.
OH, YEAH.
IT WAS, UH...
I FIGURED
YOU WERE JUST
REMINDING ME TO GET
AN EXTRA FORTUNE COOKIE.
YOU FIGURED THAT OUT, HUH?
I AM A DETECTIVE.
HOW'S THE HOUSE?
WELL, A FEW THOUSAND DOLLARS
WORTH OF REPAIRS
IT SHOULD BE GOOD AS NEW.
I'M GOING TO RENT IT OUT.
IT'LL MAKE A GOOD INVESTMENT.
YOU DON'T WANT
TO LIVE THERE?
WELL, IT'S KIND
OF LOST ITS CHARM.
OF COURSE, I WAS HOPING
MY FORMER LANDLORD
WOULD LET ME MOVE BACK IN.
WELL, YOUR FORMER LANDLORD
MIGHT RAISE THE RENT, TOO.
OH? HOW MUCH?
TWO DINNERS A WEEK?
I CAN AFFORD THAT.
YOU KNOW THAT PUCE SOFA?
YEAH.
DON'T BRING IT.
NO?
NO.
THEY FINISHED?
UH, A FEW MORE DAYS,
WEEK AT THE MOST
THEY'LL HAVE
THE FLOOR DUG OUT
AND THEY'LL BE ABLE
TO START SHORING UP
AND RESURFACING.
I'M NOT GOING
TO LAST THAT LONG.
YOU KNOW, MAYBE
YOU OUGHT TO, UH...
WORK A DIFFERENT SHIFT
FOR A FEW WEEKS.
DAD, IT DOESN'T
WORK THAT WAY.
WELL, CAN'T YOU
TELL THE CRIMINALS
WHAT TIME
TO DO THEIR CRIMES?
I THINK THE ONLY
SOLUTION IS FOR ME
TO MOVE.
WELL, YOU KNOW
I COULD PROBABLY
GET YOU A GOOD DEAL
ON A HOTEL.
NO, ACTUALLY I'VE BEEN
MEANING TO TALK TO YOU.
I WAS THINKING THAT,
YOU KNOW, MAYBE IT'S TIME
FOR ME TO BUY MY OWN PLACE.
MM-HMM.
WELL, I GUESS A HOUSE
IS A GOOD INVESTMENT.
YEAH, THAT AND PLUS
IT'LL BE CLOSER TO WORK.
YEAH.
THERE'S ALSO
THE TAX WRITE-OFF.
MM-HMM.
THE THING IS, IT'S
ALWAYS SO QUIET
AND PEACEFUL HERE AT THE BEACH.
WHAT!
I SAID IT'S SO PEACEFUL
AND QUIET HERE AT THE BEACH.
Home system:
Good morning, Lana.
It's 6:55.
The exterior temperature is 64
degrees fahrenheit and rising.
IS THE POOL READY?
The pool water is a stable
82 degrees fahrenheit.
OPEN THE POOL COVER THEN.
Lana, you have a visitor.
Hey, you up?
COME 'ROUND BACK, JESSE.
LET HIM IN.
Security system disengaged.
WOW.
THIS PLACE IS SOMETHING.
THANKS.
HI.
HI.
MY DAD SAID
HE BUILT IT
JUST SO THAT I'D
MOVE BACK HOME.
I GUESS IT WORKED, HUH?
I GUESS IT DID.
HEY, IS THERE A PLACE
I CAN PUT THESE ON?
YEAH. THE BATHROOM IS
JUST OFF THE KITCHEN.
I LEFT SOME O.J.
ON THE COUNTER.
OKAY, THANKS.
Home system:
Warning. Do not use the
pool.
LANA?
Warning. Do not use the pool.
LANA?
LANA?
It is now safe
to enter the pool.
HOW COULD SHE HAVE BEEN
ELECTROCUTED?
PROBABLY A SHORT
IN ONE OF THE
UNDERWATER LIGHTS.
WE WON'T KNOW
FOR CERTAIN
UNTIL WE CAN
DRAIN THE POOL
AND OUR TECHNICIAN
CAN DO A FULL
EXAMINATION.
HOW WELL DID YOU
KNOW THIS GIRL?
LANA? WE WERE
FRIENDS, KIND OF.
WHAT KIND OF?
WELL, SHE MOVED BACK
TO L.A. AFTER COLLEGE
AND HER MOM GAVE HER
MY PHONE NUMBER.
HMM.
SO DID HER MOTHER WANT
HER TO BE A DOCTOR
OR MARRY A DOCTOR?
I DON'T KNOW. A LITTLE BIT OF
BOTH, I GUESS.
HER MOM IS A SURGEON.
SHE USED TO WORK
AT COMMUNITY GENERAL.
AND THIS IS LANA'S
FATHER'S HOUSE?
YEAH, SHE WAS
LIVING HERE.
SORT OF A TEMPORARY
PERMANENT THING.
KIND OF LIKE YOU AND...
KIND OF LIKE ME
AND MY DAD?
NO, 'CAUSE THAT'S, LIKE,
ENTIRELY DIFFERENT.
NO, SHE-SHE JUST MOVED IN.
AND I'VE BEEN LIVING
WITH MY FATHER FOREVER?
YOU GUYS HAVE
A GREAT HOUSE
ON THE BEACH
AND YOU GET
ALONG SO WELL.
I'M MOVING OUT.
REALLY?
YEAH. I'VE ALREADY GOT
A REALTOR LOOKING.
JESS, DON'T MESS WITH THAT
TILL WE'RE FINISHED.
IT WASN'T ME.
IT'S THE COMPUTER.
THE COMPUTER CLOSED THE BLINDS?
THE ENTIRE HOUSE IS WIRED.
A STATE-OF-THE-ART COMPUTER
RUNS EVERYTHING.
THE BLINDS ARE SET
TO CLOSE EVERY TIME
THE SUNLIGHT HITS IT
AT A DIFFERENT ANGLE.
WELL, YOU CAN DO THAT?
THIS HOUSE CAN
DO ANYTHING.
IT EVEN WARNED LANA
NOT TO JUMP IN THE POOL.
AND SHE DID ANYWAY?
I DON'T KNOW.
I WAS HERE IN THE KITCHEN.
YOU KNOW THE NAME OF THE COMPANY
THAT INSTALLED THIS SYSTEM WOULD
YOU?
I GUESS WE COULD FIND OUT.
MAY I SEE
SOME IDENTIFICATION, PLEASE?
Lieutenant Steve Sloan.
THANK YOU, LIEUTENANT.
LIEUTENANT.
YOUR SYSTEM OPENED
THE DOOR, MR. LOCATELLI?
BRUCE, PLEASE.
YES. YES, IT DID.
IT ALSO SENSED YOUR PRESENCE
AND TURNED ON THE LIGHTS.
WOULD YOU COME
TO MY OFFICE?
YOUR SOUND SYSTEM'S
ON SENSORS, TOO?
"AND HE SHALL HAVE MUSIC
WHEREVER HE GOES."
IF YOU DON'T LIKE
THE SELECTION
MY CD LIBRARY IS
AT YOUR COMMAND.
WELL, ACTUALLY MY COMMAND.
IT ONLY RESPONDS
TO VOICES IT RECOGNIZES.
IS THIS THE SAME SYSTEM
YOU INSTALLED AT
JOHN KRAVITZ'S HOUSE?
TERRIBLE TRAGEDY THERE.
MUTE THE MUSIC, PLEASE.
WHAT'S THAT?
A VIDEO CAPTURE.
HELL OF A LOT BETTER
THAN A PRINTOUT.
WHO DECIDES
WHERE THE CAMERAS GO?
YOU PAY, I PUT.
WHAT'S TO KEEP YOU FROM SPYING
ON YOUR CUSTOMERS?
THE ENTIRE SYSTEM IS
DOUBLE-PASSWORD PROTECTED
SO WHEN YOU CONTACTED
MR. KRAVITZ
HE DIALED IN,
ENTERED HIS SECRET PASSWORD
WHICH ALLOWED ME
TO USE MINE
TO OPEN THE SYSTEM
AND SHOW YOU THIS.
HAL, IF YOU WOULD.
YOU NAMED YOUR COMPUTER "HAL"?
YES, AFTER THE MOVIE.
IT'S KIND OF A JOKE.
DIDN'T HAL KILL PEOPLE?
WELL, IT SEEMED LIKE A GOOD JOKE
AT THE TIME.
OF COURSE, I NAMED HIM
BEFORE I SAW THIS.
Home system:
Warning. Do not use the pool.
Do not use the pool.
I THINK THAT'S ENOUGH.
CAN YOU GIVE ME A COPY OF THAT?
OH, I HAD IT MADE
AS WE SPOKE.
NOW, YOU'LL FIND
THAT MY SYSTEM
NOT ONLY SENSED
THE SHORT
BUT CLOSED DOWN THE POWER
TO THE POOL AS WELL.
WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS,
IF THAT YOUNG WOMAN
HAD BEEN ANYPLACE ELSE
BUT IN THE WATER
AT THE TIME
OF THE SHORT
THIS NEVER WOULD
HAVE HAPPENED?
THE LOCATELLI
HOME COMMAND AND
CONTROL SYSTEM
IS NOT JUST ANOTHER MEANS
FOR YOU NEVER TO TOUCH
ANOTHER DOORKNOB,
LIEUTENANT.
IT'S THE MOST POWERFUL
HOME SECURITY
AND SAFETY SYSTEM
ON THE MARKET.
WELL, I MEAN, THE FIRST TIME
I HEARD OF YOU
I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL,
A MERE CHILD REALLY.
YOU WERE IN THE NEWSPAPER.
I SAID TO MYSELF
THAT, THAT IS WHAT
I WANT TO BE.
A MEDICAL EXAMINER?
YOU.
OH, I WANTED
TO BE YOU.
OH, HOW NICE.
AND HERE I AM.
A THIRD-YEAR
MEDICAL STUDENT
AND NOT ONLY TALKING
WITH MY IDOL
BUT ACTUALLY
WORKING WITH HER.
OH, I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND
MY SAYING ALL OF THIS.
OH, NOT AT ALL. CARRY ON.
IF I COULD JUST BE
THE NEXT DR. AMANDA BENTLEY.
WELL, WHERE WOULD
THAT LEAVE ME?
RETIRED.
HOW LOVELY.
I DIDN'T MEAN THAT
THE WAY IT SOUNDED.
YOU KNOW,
I MEANT YEARS FROM NOW
AFTER YOU'VE TAUGHT ME
EVERYTHING YOU KNOW.
EXCUSE ME,
DR. BENTLEY.
WE HAVE A 51-YEAR-OLD WOMAN,
NO PREVIOUS ILLNESS
WHO DIED TWO HOURS
AFTER ADMISSION.
SYMPTOMS?
HIGH FEVER, CHILLS,
RASH, HEADACHE.
WHO'S THE PHYSICIAN?
DR. HOROWITZ.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK.
I'M TELLING YOU, DAD.
I'VE SEEN THE FUTURE
AND IT WORKS.
DR. SLOAN, I PRESUME?
YES. HOW DO YOU DO?
WILL YOU BE SHARING
THE HOUSE WITH YOUR SON?
WELL, ACTUALLY
WE ALREADY SHARE
A WONDERFUL HOUSE.
THERE'S A THREE-BEDROOM
I CAN SHOW YOU.
THIS WILL BE
FINE. THANKS.
OPEN SAYS ME.
IN FIVE YEARS,
EVERY NEW HOUSE
WILL COME WITH
THESE FEATURES.
I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE
ON THE CUTTING EDGE.
IT TOOK SOME LOOKING,
BUT THIS PLACE HAS GOT
EVERYTHING YOU ASKED
FOR AND MORE.
THE STUDY'S BEEN CONVERTED
TO A SAFETY BUNKER.
ITS' FIREPROOF,
EARTHQUAKE PROOF
AND RIOT PROOF.
ISN'T THAT A BIT
OF OVERKILL?
UH, THE OWNER DIDN'T THINK SO,
SIR.
HE HAD A FRIEND KILLED
IN THE RIOTS A FEW YEARS AGO.
UH, THESE
AIR VENTS
WHEN THE ROOM
IS SHUT DOWN
FRESH AIR
IS PUMPED IN.
OH, HE SURE THOUGHT
OF EVERYTHING, DIDN'T HE?
NOTICE THAT
EVERY ROOM
IS BOTH D.S.L.
AND CABLE
MODEM READY.
D.S.L.?
OH, THE INTERNET.
WHO COULD LIVE
WITHOUT IT THESE DAYS?
WELL, IT'S NOT
A BIG PART
OF MY LIFE.
I HAVE TO ADMIT,
I'M SOMEWHAT
OF A TROGLODYTE
IN THAT AREA.
ESPECIALLY AFTER
WHAT HAPPENED
TO LANA KRAVITZ.
DAD... THE COMPUTER
DIDN'T KILL HER.
DID YOU KNOW
HER MOTHER WORKED
AT COMMUNITY GENERAL?
DR. JANET KRAVITZ.
YEAH, JESSE
MENTIONED IT.
DID YOU KNOW HER WELL?
NO, NOT REALLY
BUT I DID TALK TO
HER AT THE FUNERAL.
YOU KNOW,
IT'S INTERESTING.
SHE WAS CONTACTED
TO SEE IF SHE WANTED
ONE OF THESE SYSTEMS
IN HER HOUSE IN BOSTON.
OH, HOW'D SHE LIKE IT?
SHE DIDN'T.
SHE TURNED
THEM DOWN.
SAID IT
REMINDED HER
TOO MUCH OF
HER EX-HUSBAND.
LOOK, DAD, I LIKE
THIS HOUSE A LOT.
GOOD.
I MEAN, YOU'RE
THE ONE THAT'S
GOING TO LIVE HERE.
THE OWNER IS IN THE MIDDLE
OF DIVORCE HELL.
HE'S WILLING TO DO
A QUITCLAIM
IF YOU WANT TO MOVE IN
RIGHT AWAY.
NO KIDDING?
HEY, I WANTED TO ASK YOU
ABOUT THAT JACUZZI OUT THERE.
Dr. Sloan:
ELLIE, THANK YOU
FOR DOING THIS FOR ME.
IT'S MY PLEASURE.
I LOVE THE INTERNET.
IT'S HOW I KEEP UP
WITH MY PARENTS
MY GRANDPARENTS,
MY BOYFRIEND.
IN FACT, THESE DAYS
IT'S PRACTICALLY
THE ONLY WAY
I TALK AT ALL.
YOU KNOW,
I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW
THE HOSPITAL
HAD A WEBSITE.
EVERYTHING HAS A WEBSITE.
I CAN EVEN SET UP A PERSONAL ONE
FOR YOU.
NO, THANK YOU.
WANT TO SEE
HOW MANY TIMES DR. BENTLEY'S
NAME IS MENTIONED IN THE PAPER?
CAN YOU DO THAT?
IT CAN FIND ANYTHING.
WHAT IF I WANTED TO FIND
A COMPUTER SYSTEM FOR MY HOME?
COULD YOU FIND THAT?
NAME IT.
HOME COMMAND AND CONTROL SYSTEMS
DESIGNED BY A MAN NAMED
BRUCE LOCATELLI, I THINK.
FIRST, WE GO TO A SEARCH ENGINE.
D.W.P.
YEAH, I GOT YOUR MESSAGE,
BUT I'M STILL PUZZLED.
WE ALREADY PASSED
OUR CODE INSPECTION.
OH, UH, IT'S A NEW
SERVICE THAT WE PROVIDE.
ROUTINE INSPECTION
BEFORE A CUSTOMER MOVES IN.
HOW DID YOU KNOW
THIS HOUSE SOLD?
MULTIPLE LISTINGS.
WELL, YOU GO AHEAD.
DOOR IS OPEN.
I'VE GOT TO DELIVER
SOME GOOD NEWS.
WELL, THANK YOU.
OH, THAT'S GREAT.
CLOSING TOMORROW
AT VALLEY BROOK FEDERAL, 2:00.
RIGHT. THANKS.
HAL, ARE YOU THERE?
This isn't our system, Bruce.
I KNOW...
BUT I CAN TAKE IT OVER...
AND NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW
THAT WE WERE HERE.
YOU KNOW, IT'S AMAZING
WHAT YOU CAN FIND ON THE WEB.
THEY HAD CANCER RESEARCH
THAT HASN'T EVEN BEEN
PUBLISHED YET.
UH-HUH.
AND THEN I LOOKED UP
OLD FRED ASTAIRE MOVIES.
THEY HAD A NEARLY COMPLETE
LIST OF ALL THE CREDITS.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
UH, DONATE IT.
YEAH.
THEN I FOUND SOMETHING
ELSE REMARKABLE.
DID I ACTUALLY
EVER WEAR THIS?
YEAH, YOU DID.
I FOUND HOME COMMAND
AND CONTROL SYSTEMS.
DAD, THAT DEATH
WAS AN ACCIDENT
AND I HAD LONG
CONVERSATIONS
WITH THE FATHER
THE MOTHER, I CHECKED
WITH THE FRIENDS...
NOBODY SUSPECTS
FOUL PLAY.
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT
SYBIL THORSTON SAID.
OKAY, DAD, I'LL BITE.
WHO IS SYBIL THORSTON?
DENISE THORSTON'S MOTHER,
UP IN HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT.
AND THE CONNECTION
BETWEEN DENISE THORSTON
AND LANA KRAVITZ
IS WHAT EXACTLY?
THEY BOTH DIED
IN POOL ACCIDENTS
AND BOTH HOUSES HAD
BRUCE LOCATELLI'S SYSTEM
IN THERE.
DAD, COMPUTERS
DO NOT KILL PEOPLE.
DOESN'T THAT STRIKE YOU
AS A LITTLE BIT SUSPICIOUS?
WAS THERE ANY
OTHER CONNECTION
BETWEEN THESE DEATHS?
NONE THAT I KNOW OF, NO.
WELL, THEN,
NO, I DON'T.
I DON'T WORRY
ABOUT HAVING
A SYSTEM EITHER.
THIS BRUCE CHARACTER
DIDN'T EVEN MAKE MINE.
THIS ISN'T ABOUT
YOUR NEW HOUSE.
NO, OF COURSE NOT.
YOU KNOW, MAYBE IT'D
BE A GOOD IDEA
JUST TO SHUT IT OFF
UNTIL WE LOOK INTO THIS
A LITTLE FURTHER.
DAD, I LIKE
MY NEW HOUSE.
THE COMPUTER SYSTEM'S
ONE OF THE REASONS
I BOUGHT IT.
AND THE POLICE INVESTIGATION
WAS THOROUGH.
YOU THINK I'M
BEING FOOLISH, HUH?
NO, NOT AT ALL.
COULDN'T TALK YOU
OUT OF THOSE EITHER.
HECK, NO,
THESE ARE KEEPERS.
DO YOU EVER GET USED
TO ALL THIS AUTOMATED STUFF?
HONESTLY?
I'VE GOTTEN
TO THE POINT
WHERE IT ANNOYS ME
TO HAVE TO USE
A LIGHT SWITCH.
EXCUSE ME,
MR. LOCATELLI.
I'M FINISHED,
UNLESS YOU NEED ME.
OH, NO, MARIA.
HASTA MANANA.
HASTA MANANA.
GRACIAS, POR TODO.
THAT'S THE CLEANING LADY?
MY HOUSE MANAGER.
COULDN'T LIVE
WITHOUT HER.
DOES THE COMPUTER
RESPOND TO HER VOICE
AS WELL AS YOURS?
YES. I PROGRAMMED
THE SYSTEM
WITH A FULL
SPANISH VOCABULARY.
PLEASE, SIT DOWN.
AND YOU CAN RESTRICT
ACCESS ANY TIME YOU WANT?
I CAN DO ANYTHING.
YOU CAN,
NOT YOUR COMPUTER?
THE COMPUTER'S ONLY AS GOOD
AS THE PROGRAMMER.
YOU KNOW, THAT'S
ALMOST THE SAME THING
MY SON SAID
WHEN I PRESENTED HIM
WITH A VERY CURIOUS COINCIDENCE.
I WAS CHECKING OUT
YOUR SYSTEM ON THE INTERNET...
DENISE THORSTON.
YOU KNEW ABOUT THAT?
YOU THINK THE POLICE
DIDN'T INVESTIGATE
THAT DEATH, TOO?
WOULD YOU MIND
EXPLAINING WHAT HAPPENED THERE?
WELL, IT SEEMS SHE ORDERED
THE POOL COVER TO CLOSE
WHILE SHE WAS
STILL IN THE WATER.
WHY WOULD SHE DO THAT?
SHE WAS DRUNK.
AND YOU'RE POSITIVE IT WAS
DENISE THAT GAVE THAT COMMAND?
THAT'S WHAT
THE COMPUTER RECORDS SHOW.
IS IT POSSIBLE
FOR ANYONE ELSE TO ISSUE
A COMMAND TO THIS SYSTEM?
YOU, FOR EXAMPLE?
YOU GOT
INTO THE KRAVITZ SYSTEM.
ALL MY SYSTEMS ARE
DOUBLE-PASSWORD PROTECTED
SO, NO, NOT WITHOUT
THE OWNER'S PERMISSION.
I DON'T KNOW MUCH
ABOUT COMPUTERS
BUT JESSE TOLD ME
THOSE SYSTEMS HAVE...
WHAT'D YOU CALL IT?
BACKDOOR.
SO THE MANUFACTURERS CAN
CORRECT ERRORS IN THE PROGRAM.
SO YOU DO HAVE A MEANS
FOR GETTING AROUND
THE DOUBLE-PASSWORD SYSTEM
DON'T YOU,
MR. LOCATELLI?
YOU KNOW, I REALLY HATE
TO DO THIS.
DO WHAT?
WHAT I'M ABOUT TO SAY.
TO BACKDOOR INTO A SYSTEM
REQUIRES A HIGH LEVEL
OF SOPHISTICATION
NOT TO MENTION A PRIOR KNOWLEDGE
OF THE PROGRAM'S
PROPRIETARY CODES.
AND YOU MEET BOTH CRITERIA.
AND SO DOES MY COMPETITION.
ANY PARTICULAR COMPETITION?
DONALD PURDY, MY SYSTEM'S
BEATING THE PANTS OFF HIS.
ARE YOU SUGGESTING
THAT PURDY DELIBERATELY KILLED
DENISE THORSTON
JUST TO MAKE YOUR SYSTEM
LOOK UNSAFE?
AND THAT IS EXACTLY
THE KIND OF ACCUSATION
I DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE.
THAT JERK.
I BET HE LED YOU
RIGHT TO ME, HUH?
AS A MATTER OF
FACT, HE DID.
YOU KNOW WHY?
BECAUSE I'M GOING
TO PUT BRUCE THE GOOSE
OUT OF BUSINESS.
SOUNDS LIKE
YOU TWO HAVE
QUITE A BEEF GOING.
HE STOLE MY SYSTEM!
I OUGHT TO KILL HIM!
WHAT ABOUT KILLING
HIS CLIENTS?
THAT WOULD BE BAD
FOR BUSINESS.
"COMPUTER KILLS HOMEOWNER,
FILM AT 11:00."
NOW, WHAT ARE YOU GOING
TO THINK?
BRUCE'S BUTLER DID IT?
OR THAT ANY SYSTEM ON THE MARKET
IS SUDDENLY SUSPECT?
THE SAME COULD BE
SAID FOR BRUCE.
ACCIDENTS WOULDN'T DO
HIS BUSINESS ANY GOOD.
I'M TALKING
ABOUT A RATIONAL HUMAN BEING.
YOU'RE TALKING
ABOUT BRUCE LOCATELLI.
WHY WOULD HE MURDER
HIS OWN CLIENTS?
WHY DOES A GUY
CLIMB A BELL TOWER
AND START SHOOTING?
Locatelli:
NO MORE SWIMMING POOLS, HAL.
I understand, Bruce.
LET'S TURN OUR ATTENTION
TO OUR NEXT TARGET,
JERRY TAM.
WHERE DOES HE LIVE AGAIN?
Jerry Tam
lives in Montreal.
Bruce:
OH, COLD WEATHER CLIMATE.
That is correct, Bruce.
HE SNEAKS HIS SMOKES
IN THE SHED.
That is correct, Bruce.
FULL SCREEN, PLEASE, HAL.
This was captured yesterday.
There is a handyman's workshop
in the garage
complete with a sink
with running water.
These propane tanks are
connected to a heater.
PROPANE?
The heater is on a thermostat.
The propane is computer-
controlled to turn on
whenever the temperature
drops below freezing.
TO KEEP THE PIPES
FROM BURSTING.
That is correct, Bruce.
Jerry Tam comes into the shed
every evening at approximately
5:00 p.m. eastern time.
I SEE.
Which would not be
a problem unless...
UNLESS THE PILOT LIGHT
WERE OUT.
Is that a command, Bruce?
GO AHEAD. TRY IT OUT.
CALL ME "PHIL."
OH, WHAT'S YOUR REAL NAME?
PHILIPPA.
SO, ARE YOU SHOPPING
FOR A FEW THINGS FOR DAD?
NO, ACTUALLY, WE'RE SHOPPING
FOR MY SON.
JUST BOUGHT
A NEW HOUSE.
GOT TIRED OF LIVING
WITH THE OLD MAN.
I DON'T THINK
SHE NEEDS TO HEAR
OUR ENTIRE FAMILY HISTORY, DAD.
IT'S ACTUALLY ONE
OF THE GREAT THINGS
ABOUT OWNING A STORE LIKE THIS.
YOU GET TO LEARN
ABOUT SUCH INTIMATE
DETAILS OF
PEOPLE'S LIVES.
WELL, I'M LOOKING
FOR A COUCH
ARMCHAIRS,
COFFEE TABLE.
OKAY. WELL, THEN BY ALL MEANS,
SAMPLE THE MERCHANDISE.
SO, DO YOU HAVE
ANY PARTICULAR COLORS IN MIND?
WELL, THIS PUCE IS NICE.
OKAY. DOES IT GO
WITH YOUR HOME'S COLOR SCHEME?
I DON'T THINK IT HAS
A COLOR SCHEME.
MY, MY, MY, YOU ARE
FIRST TIME...
AND AN AVAILABLE
BACHELOR.
THAT OBVIOUS?
BEEN SHOPPING AROUND FOR LONG?
NOT FOR FURNITURE.
ABRA LA PUERTA DE ENFRENTE,
POR FAVOR.
MR. LOCATELLI?
MR. LOCATELLI?
Hay un problema
en la recamera principal.
Hay un problema
en la recamera principal.
Hay un problema
en la recamera principal.
MR. LOCATELLI?!
ABRE LA PUERTA DE LA RECAMERA!
Hay fuego en el systema ventana.
ABRA LAS VENTANAS!
Jesse:
HOW'D THIS HAPPEN?
THE WINDOWS WERE LOCKED.
THE BEDROOM
FILLED WITH SMOKE.
WHAT ARE THE VITALS?
BP's 90/50, PULSE
110 AND THREADY.
RESPIRATORY
RATE OF 58.
WAS THERE ANY
BLOOD DRAWN
AT THE SCENE?
YES, SIR.
LET'S GET HIM
INTO TRAUMA ONE.
LOOK AT THAT BLOOD
FOR C.B.C., ELECTROLYTES,
LACTATE LEVEL
AND CARBOXYHEMOGLOBIN.
GET ME AN INTUBATION TRAY
WITH AN EIGHT-MILLIMETER TUBE
AND PAGE RESPIRATORY
FOR SOME STAT A.B.G.s.
I WANT TO START ANOTHER LINE
IN THE OTHER ARM
AND GET A STAT
PORTABLE CHEST FILM.
WHAT WERE
THE PRESENTING SYMPTOMS?
SUFFOCATION DUE
TO SMOKE INHALATION.
THERE APPEARS TO BE
UPPER AIRWAY EDEMA.
I'M HAVING
A TOUGH TIME
VISUALIZING
THE VOCAL CHORDS.
I CAN'T SEE WHAT
I'M DOING HERE.
WE NEED TO DO
AN EMERGENCY TRACH.
HE'S ARRESTING.
200 JOULES.
CLEAR!
CLEAR.
300 JOULES.
CLEAR!
CLEAR.
WE'VE LOST HIM.
ALL RIGHT... THERE.
THAT OUGHT
TO DO IT.
I HOPE SO.
OH, THAT'S NICE.
AH... JUST AS UNCOMFORTABLE
AS IT LOOKS.
STEVE, YOU'VE GOT
GREAT TASTE.
YEAH, SEE?
YOU REMEMBER WHEN WE FIRST
MOVED TO THE BEACH?
CAROL STARTED CRYING
THE MINUTE SHE
WALKED IN THE DOOR.
SAID "THIS ISN'T OUR HOUSE."
Mark:
SO HE TOOK HER
BY THE HAND
AND SAID, "LET ME SHOW YOU
WHAT WE CAN DO" ALL BY HERSELF.
AND TOOK HER RIGHT DOWN
TO THE BEACH.
AND YOU WEREN'T WORRIED?
KATHERINE DID ENOUGH
WORRYING FOR THE BOTH OF US.
AND I TOLD HER STEVE WASN'T
GOING TO LET ANYTHING HAPPEN
TO HIS
LITTLE SISTER.
I COULDN'T HAVE BEEN
MORE THAN 11.
SLOAN HERE.
STEVE WAS ALWAYS
SO RESPONSIBLE
EVEN WHEN HE
WAS A KID.
YEAH, WELL, THINGS
WERE SAFER THEN.
OH, I DON'T KNOW. SOMETIMES I
THINK
WE JUST KNOW ABOUT THE DANGERS
MORE NOW.
YEAH, MAYBE.
YOU ALL RIGHT?
I DON'T...
I WAS JUST THINKING
WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE
TO SAVE BRUCE LOCATELLI.
Steve:
BRUCE LOCATELLI'S
COMPUTER
HAS A FULL RECORD
OF WHAT HAPPENED.
MALFUNCTION?
NO, SOMEBODY
COMPROMISED THE SYSTEM
FROM THE
OUTSIDE.
SOMEBODY DELIBERATELY
TURNED OFF THE PILOT?
I'M AFRAID SO.
BUT WHO?
IT'S GOT TO BE HIS COMPETITOR...
UH, DONALD PURDY?
SO THEN, PURDY MURDERED BRUCE.
LOOKS THAT WAY.
BRUCE SAID THAT PURDY
WAS OUT TO GET HIM.
YEAH, BUT STILL...
I AM SO SURE BRUCE HIMSELF
WAS BEHIND THOSE TWO MURDERS.
WELL, CHERYL'S PICKING UP
PURDY NOW.
I GOT TO GET BACK
TO THE STATION.
WHAT KIND OF POLICE STATE
YOU RUNNING HERE?
MR. PURDY'S BEEN READ HIS RIGHTS
AND REFUSED A LAWYER.
I GOT A LAWYER
ALL RIGHT... A GOOD ONE.
I'M GOING TO SUE YOU BLIND.
YOU'RE FACING MULTIPLE
MURDER CHARGES, MR. PURDY.
I WASN'T ANYWHERE NEAR
BRUCIE-BOY.
NO, BUT HIS COMPUTER INDICATES
AN ILLEGAL INTRUSION
INITIATED BY
YOUR SYSTEM.
THAT'S A LIE.
HERE'S A PRINTOUT. TAKE A LOOK.
YOU SET ME UP.
SIT DOWN, MR. PURDY.
THE HELL I WILL!
FIRST, YOUR
STORM TROOPERS
COME INTO MY PLACE OF
BUSINESS...
EITHER SIT DOWN
OR I'LL HAVE TO CUFF YOU.
WHY DON'T YOU SHOOT ME
WHILE YOU'RE AT IT!
YOU'RE UNDER ARREST.
YOU ALL RIGHT?
YEAH, I'LL LIVE.
IT WAS SELF-DEFENSE.
YEAH? TRY "ASSAULTING
A POLICE OFFICER."
COME ON.
STEVE SAID PURDY JUST
HAULED OFF AND HIT HER.
I THOUGHT THE MAN
WAS ALL BARK AND NO BITE.
WELL, BULLIES TEND
TO BE COWARDS.
COWARDS... HOW?
LOOK AT THE WAY
HE'S KILLED...
FROM A DISTANCE, NEVER
CONFRONTING HIS VICTIMS...
YEAH... STILL SOMEHOW,
I JUST DON'T FEEL
RIGHT ABOUT IT.
DR. BENTLEY, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO DO NEXT.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO,
DR. SLOAN?
ABOUT WHAT?
WELL, I'VE BEEN TRYING TO NOTIFY
MR. LOCATELLI'S NEXT OF KIN.
FIRST, I TRIED ALL
THE LOCATELLIs
IN THE LOS ANGELES PHONE BOOK,
ALL... ONE OF THEM.
THEN I TRIED USING
THAT NEW NATIONAL SERVICE.
NOBODY NAMED LOCATELLI'S
EVEN HEARD OF HIM
SO THEN I TRIED USING THE
INTERNET, HOPING TO FIND
SOME RELATIVE
IN ITALY, MAYBE.
YOU CAN FIND PEOPLE IN ITALY?
YEAH, IF THEY'VE GOT E-MAIL.
ONLY THEY DON'T...
HAVE E-MAIL, I MEAN...
IF THEY EVEN EXIST!
YOU KNOW, I THINK
I KNOW SOMEBODY
WHO MIGHT BE ABLE
TO HELP US OUT.
HE'S HAD THESE PHOTOGRAPHS HERE
SINCE HE MOVED IN.
YOU KNOW WHO THEY ARE?
MR. LOCATELLI, HE WOULD
NOT SPEAK OF THEM.
WHEN A MAN DOES NOT
WANT TO SPEAK OF...
THOSE HE LOVES,
IT'S BEST NOT TO ASK.
IT IS MY FAULT HE'S DEAD.
WHY DO YOU SAY THAT?
EVERY DAY...
EVERY DAY,
I COME EXACTLY AT 7:00
TO MAKE MR. LOCATELLI'S
BREAKFAST.
BUT THIS DAY, THERE WAS, UH...
A LOT OF TRAFFIC.
I'M NEVER LATE.
BUT ON THIS ONE DAY, IF...
IF I HAD NOT BEEN LATE
ON THIS ONE DAY...
MR. LOCATELLI WOULD BE ALIVE.
MY BOYFRIEND COULDN'T BELIEVE
I WANTED TO WORK
WITH DEAD PEOPLE.
I'M SURE YOU'VE HEARD IT
A THOUSAND-MILLION
TIMES, RIGHT?
"WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP
A DEAD PERSON?"
I SAID... I'M SURE YOU SAY
THE EXACT SAME THING... I SAID:
"LIVE PEOPLE
ONLY CAUSE YOU TROUBLE.
"DEAD PEOPLE
JUST LIE THERE
WHILE YOU FIND OUT
ALL THEIR SECRETS."
DON'T YOU AGREE?
MM-HMM.
DR. BENTLEY,
DO YOU HAVE
THOSE AUTOPSY RESULTS
FOR DR. HOROWITZ?
YES. ELLIE,
WOULD YOU GET ANNETTE
THE MacDOUGAL AUTOPSY
REPORT, PLEASE?
CAUSE OF DEATH WAS SEPTICEMIA
BROUGHT ON
BY MENINGOCOCCAL INFECTION.
I KNOW
I PUT IT SOMEWHERE.
TRY THE FILE CABINET.
UH... I WAS GOING TO PUT
SOME FILES INTO STORAGE
BUT FOR THAT
I NEEDED A BOX.
I HAD THE FILE
IN MY HAND
DIDN'T WANT TO PUT IT
WITH THE CHEMICALS
AND IT DIDN'T BELONG
WITH MEDICATIONS EITHER.
I MEAN,
WE'D NEVER FIND IT.
I WAS GOING TO PUT IT
NEAR THE COMPUTER TEMPORARILY
BUT THEN THE PHONE RANG.
YOU WEREN'T HERE
SO I JUST PUT IT...
HERE.
I DON'T FAINT ANYMORE.
MR. LUCCA!
OH, THAT'S MR. LOCATELLI.
NO, IT'S NOT.
THAT'S MR. LUCCA.
I COULD NEVER
FORGET MR. LUCCA.
I WAS NEW ON THE JOB
AND HERE WAS THIS SWEET MAN.
HIS SON CAME IN
FOR A ROUTINE APPENDICITIS.
THE BOY HAD
A RUPTURED ANEURYSM
ON THE TABLE
AND I WAS ELECTED
TO TELL MR. LUCCA
THAT HIS SON HAD DIED.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE THE DEPTH
OF MR. LUCCA'S PAIN.
I NEVER THOUGHT
I WOULD UNDERSTAND
PAIN LIKE THAT.
I WAS WRONG.
WRONG HOW?
TWO YEARS LATER, MY SON DIED.
GOD...
I'VE NEVER RECOVERED.
MY MARRIAGE DISSOLVED.
MY LIFE, REALLY.
ANNETTE, FORGIVE ME FOR ASKING,
BUT HOW DID YOUR SON DIE?
WAS HE AT HOME?
HE WAS BACK FROM COLLEGE
FOR SPRING BREAK.
SOMEHOW HE ENDED UP
IN THE GARAGE
WITH THE CAR MOTOR
RUNNING.
I STILL DON'T BELIEVE
IT WAS SUICIDE.
I DON'T!
I'M SORRY.
NO, NO,
DON'T APOLOGIZE.
ANNETTE,
I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION
I DO HAVE TO ASK.
IN THE LUCCA APPENDECTOMY,
WAS THE SURGEON DR. KRAVITZ?
WELL, IT MAY NOT BE
MUCH CONSOLATION
BUT I CAN PROMISE YOU
THAT YOUR SON'S DEATH
WAS NOT A SUICIDE.
Mark:
WELL, NARDO LUCCA DID SUFFER
A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
HIS ONLY SON CARLO
GOT APPENDICITIS.
THEY BROUGHT HIM
TO OUR HOSPITAL
AND DURING THE OPERATION
AN ANEURYSM RUPTURED
AND THE BOY DIED.
THAT'S NOBODY'S FAULT.
THAT CAN HAPPEN TO ANY SURGEON
AT ANY TIME.
WELL, LUCCA DIDN'T
SEE IT THAT WAY.
HE SAW THIS VAST CONSPIRACY
AGAINST HIM.
HE SUED THE HOSPITAL
THE INSURANCE COMPANY,
EVERYBODY.
WASN'T THERE A MORTALITY REVIEW?
YEAH.
I CHAIRED IT
AND THE COURT
THREW HIS SUIT OUT.
AND NARDO WANTED JUSTICE.
WELL, HIS SON WAS DEAD
AND HIS MARRIAGE,
AS OFTEN HAPPENS, FELL APART.
HE WAS A MAN IN A LOT OF PAIN.
I DON'T GET IT.
I MEAN, IF BRUCE, OR NARDO,
OR WHATEVER HIS NAME WAS
WANTED TO KILL SOMEBODY,
WHY NOT THOSE RESPONSIBLE?
HE WANTED MORE VENGEANCE
THAN THAT.
HE WANTED HIS VICTIMS
TO EXPERIENCE HIS PAIN
BY KILLING THE CHILDREN
OF THOSE HE BLAMED
FOR KILLING HIS SON.
SO THEN LANA DIED
BECAUSE SHE WAS
DR. KRAVITZ'S DAUGHTER?
THAT'S RIGHT,
JUST AS ANNETTE'S SON DIED
BECAUSE SHE WAS A NURSE
AT THE OPERATION.
WHAT ABOUT THE VICTIM
IN HARTFORD?
WOULD THAT BE THE CHILD
OF THE INSURANCE INVESTIGATOR
IN THE CASE?
EXACTLY.
WHAT ABOUT PURDY?
DID HE KNOW
WHEN HE KILLED BRUCE?
YOU KNOW, I THINK PURDY
MAY BE GUILTY OF
ASSAULTING AN OFFICER,
BUT NOT OF MURDER.
I THINK THIS WHOLE THING
WAS A DIVERSIONARY TACTIC.
PRETTY EXTREME WAY
TO GET US OFF THE TRACK
DON'T YOU THINK?
WELL, BRUCE WAS NOT
SUPPOSED TO DIE.
THAT PILOT LIGHT WENT OFF
EXACTLY AT 7:00.
NOW, MARIA,
HIS HOUSEKEEPER
ALWAYS ARRIVED AT 7:00.
HE WAS COUNTING
ON HER
TO SAVE HIM.
THAT'S RIGHT,
ONLY THAT MORNING
THERE WAS A BAD ACCIDENT
ON THE FREEWAY
AND SHE WAS DELAYED
HALF AN HOUR.
SO, WHAT YOU'RE SAYING
IS THAT WE'RE DEALING
WITH A MURDERER
WHO WAS HIS OWN VICTIM.
I THINK WE SHOULD
JUST BE THANKFUL
THIS WHOLE THING IS OVER.
ADMIT IT, DAD.
BRUCE'S COMPUTER DIDN'T KILL
THOSE PEOPLE... BRUCE DID.
YEAH, I GUESS
YOU'RE RIGHT.
WELL, DID YOUR SYSTEM
COOK ALL THIS CHINESE FOOD?
ACTUALLY, IT WAS
THE CHINESE RESTAURANT
AROUND THE CORNER.
WHICH SEEMS
TO HAVE FORGOTTEN
THE MOO SHU PORK.
I'LL GO BACK.
OH, NO,
THIS IS PLENTY OF FOOD.
MM... GOOD, TOO.
YOU KNOW, TAKE-OUT'S
VERY IMPORTANT
FOR A MAN
WHO LIVES ALONE.
DAD...
MEN DON'T COOK
FOR THEMSELVES.
I RARELY DO IT.
DAD, IT'S NOT LIKE
I EAT DINNER AT HOME
THAT OFTEN ANYWAY.
WHY DO YOU THINK I
KNOW EVERY TAKE-OUT
PLACE IN MALIBU?
WELL, I'M VERY SORRY
TO DISTURB YOU
AND I'M SORRY
FOR YOUR LOSS.
AMANDA, WHAT'S WRONG?
UH...
I JUST PULLED
THE PATHOLOGY REPORT
ON THE LUCCA CASE
AND A COLLEAGUE OF MINE,
DR. TAM, DID THE AUTOPSY.
DID HE LOSE A CHILD, TOO?
YES.
HIS SON IN MONTREAL
AN HOUR AGO.
THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.
BRUCE DIED YESTERDAY MORNING.
ELLIE'S IDEA
OF AN E-MAIL ALERT.
IT'S NOT IMPOSSIBLE.
WHAT?
HOW'D THE BOY DIE?
UH, HE WAS SMOKING
IN A STORAGE SHED
FULL OF PROPANE TANKS.
BRUCE COULD HAVE PROGRAMMED
THE COMPUTER
TO TURN OFF THE PILOT LIGHT.
SO WE'VE GOT A MURDERER
WHO'S STILL KILLING
AFTER HE'S DEAD?
AMANDA, THAT PATHOLOGY REPORT...
CHECK TO SEE EVERYONE INVOLVED.
SEE IF THEY
HAVE CHILDREN.
OH...
JESSE, OH, MY GOD.
MARK CHAIRED THAT INQUIRY
AND STEVE HAS ONE
OF THOSE SYSTEMS.
HELLO?
JESS, I CAN'T HEAR YOU.
I'VE BEEN ON THE PHONE
ALL DAY.
MY BATTERY'S DYING.
HERE, USE MINE.
OH, I LEFT IT
IN THE CAR.
JESSE, LET ME
CALL YOU BACK
FROM A PAY PHONE.
I'LL GO GET IT.
NO, DON'T LET
YOUR SOUP GET COLD.
THERE'S A PAY PHONE
AT THE CHINESE RESTAURANT.
I'LL CALL FROM THERE.
YOU SURE?
YEAH.
THE TRUE TEST OF
GOOD CHINESE TAKE-OUT
IS MOO SHU PORK.
THIS'LL ONLY
TAKE A MINUTE.
ALL RIGHT.
Amanda:
JESSE
RELAX, OKAY?
YOU'RE MAKING ME
NERVOUS.
AS LONG AS STEVE
IS OUT OF THE HOUSE
HE'S NOT IN ANY
IMMEDIATE DANGER.
STEVE.
COMPUTERS...
OH, NO.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
YOUR DAD STILL INSIDE?
YEAH, THE COMPUTER SEEMS
TO HAVE FIGURED
THE SECURITY SYSTEM
IN THE STUDY.
I'VE CALLED
FOR A BATTERING RAM
AND A BLOWTORCH.
THIS MAY
TAKE AWHILE.
WE MAY NOT HAVE AWHILE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
THE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED
TO PUMP FRESH AIR
INTO THE ROOM.
IF THE COMPUTER'S
BEEN PROGRAMMED
TO CUT OFF THE AIR INTAKE
WE MAY NOT HAVE
MUCH TIME AT ALL.
IS THERE ANY WAY YOU
CAN HACK INTO THE SYSTEM?
TAKE CONTROL
OF THIS THING?
THAT'S WAY BEYOND
MY CAPABILITIES.
YOU NEED SOMEBODY
WHO KNOWS HOW
TO BACKDOOR...
PURDY.
PURDY.
HE'S BEEN RELEASED ON BAIL.
I'LL FIND HIM.
YOU GOT NOTHING ON ME!
I KNOW!
WHY ARE YOU RUNNING?
WHY ARE YOU HERE?
I NEED YOU.
WHAT WAS THAT?
DID I JUST HEAR YOU SAY,
"LET'S MAKE A DEAL"?
ANY LUCK?
NOT YET.
WHAT DO WE
NEED TO DO
TO HOOK YOU UP?
JUST STAND BACK
AND LET ME WORK.
I'M IN THE SYSTEM.
NOW, IF I CAN JUST
FIND THE OVERRIDE.
WHAT'S
THE STATUS INSIDE?
WE'VE MADE
NO CONTACT YET.
FOR A
LOUSY THIEF
THAT BRUCE
WAS ONE HELL
OF A PROGRAMMER.
JUST TELL US
YOU'RE BETTER.
OF COURSE
I'M BETTER.
AH! I'M IN.
ALL RIGHT, GET
SOME OXYGEN IN THERE.
OXYGEN LEVEL
IS NEARLY NORMAL.
ALL RIGHT,
LET'S GO.
DAD?
I... I THINK...
DON'T TRY AND TALK.
YOU'RE GOING
TO BE JUST FINE.
LET THEM
WORK, STEVE.
JESSE SAYS
YOU'RE GOING TO BE FINE.
TAKES MORE THAN A
COMPUTER TO KILL ME.
I, UH... FOUND THAT.
OH, YEAH.
IT WAS, UH...
I FIGURED
YOU WERE JUST
REMINDING ME TO GET
AN EXTRA FORTUNE COOKIE.
YOU FIGURED THAT OUT, HUH?
I AM A DETECTIVE.
HOW'S THE HOUSE?
WELL, A FEW THOUSAND DOLLARS
WORTH OF REPAIRS
IT SHOULD BE GOOD AS NEW.
I'M GOING TO RENT IT OUT.
IT'LL MAKE A GOOD INVESTMENT.
YOU DON'T WANT
TO LIVE THERE?
WELL, IT'S KIND
OF LOST ITS CHARM.
OF COURSE, I WAS HOPING
MY FORMER LANDLORD
WOULD LET ME MOVE BACK IN.
WELL, YOUR FORMER LANDLORD
MIGHT RAISE THE RENT, TOO.
OH? HOW MUCH?
TWO DINNERS A WEEK?
I CAN AFFORD THAT.
YOU KNOW THAT PUCE SOFA?
YEAH.
DON'T BRING IT.
NO?
NO.
