Kip Roberts's wife Missy was murdered at home with bullets in chest and feet while he's away on rafting weekend with personal trainer. Patrick sees straight trough their broken without visiting the murder scene marriage even it becomes clear they had private counseling sessions from radio show host Buddy Hennings, which they had attended. Patrick intrudes on the show even before setting a trap. Meanwhile the team encourages Rigbsy to work out if he can get back together with Grace.
I just have
a couple more questions.
Hey. Where's Lisbon?
She's in court.
You know you're late.
Yeah, I must have turned
my alarm clock off.
Overslept.
Hmm. Hot date?
What are you talking about?
Well, you know.
Duncan. From L.A.
Wayne, it's not like that.
Oh, right. Sure.
You mind finishing up
these interviews?
Hi.
Van Pelt's here now.
Is Jane coming?
I don't know. Call him.
Hey, Rigsby.
What's going on?
Uh, you know we have
a case, right?
Yeah. I heard.
I'm, uh, kind of busy here,
so I'm not gonna make it.
He's not gonna make it.
Yeah, but I'm happy to help.
Help how?
Well, you two talk to me,
and I'll listen.
You'll be my eyes
and my ears.
Okay, I'll put you
on speaker.
Cho.
Tell Jane what we got.
Housewife.
Missy Roberts. 32.
Maid found her
shot in the bathroom.
There's bullet holes
in the hallway
and one
in the closet door here.
So it looks like a fight
started elsewhere
then she ran to the bathroom.
Forensics recovered
9-millimeter casings.
Eh, forensics.
Tell me about the body.
Well, she's lying here
on the floor
in gym clothes.
She's been shot in the chest,
uh, once in the foot,
and there's two bullet holes
lodged in the ground,
so we're not dealing
with an expert marksman.
Well, maybe, maybe not.
Uh, what about the husband?
Yeah. Husband.
Name's Kip. He runs a high-end
home electronics company.
He left town two days ago
on some boondoggle white-water
rafting trip to Tahoe.
Interesting.
How did he take the news?
Well, he hasn't
gotten it yet.
His office says
the rafting group will be
out of cell range
for another day or so.
Hmm. Describe to me
the bedroom.
Why?
Well, I want to understand
their relationship.
A bedroom says a lot.
Okay.
All right, it's, uh...
Cold, impersonal.
Tightly made bed.
No pictures.
Mm. Let's try the kitchen.
Okay.
Okay. What am I looking for?
Tell me what's in the fridge.
Butter, milk, eggs...
Baking stuff.
Which makes sense,
because there are these
awesome looking cupcakes
on the counter.
They're, uh, red velvet,
I think.
Yeah. Wh-what else
is in the fridge?
Uh...
A bunch of diet shakes
and soda.
Hmm. Is the victim heavy?
Oh, no, she's very thin.
What about Kip?
Um, I guess
he's kind of chubby.
But it looks like he sees
a personal trainer, though.
Oh, this is not
a happy marriage.
Kip's portly but fights it.
Missy is naturally thin
and a gourmet baker.
He views her hobby
as a sabotage and resents it.
She views his dieting
as a lack of interest
in her personal outlet.
You need to talk to Kip.
He wants us to talk to Kip.
We can't--
not until tomorrow.
Oh, please, this is
the last guy who'd go
on a white-water rafting trip.
You don't hire
a personal trainer
'cause you like
strenuous activity.
You hire a personal trainer
because it's the only possible
way to get yourself to do it.
So you think he lied
about the trip?
Well, I'm almost certain.
So if he's not white-water
rafting, where is he?
Well, I don't know, but I'm sure
you two will figure it out.
And, Rigsby...
Put the cupcake back.

Lisbon, I can hear you
skulking around out there.
What is it?
We've got a case.
You can deal
with Red John later.
Yeah, Missy Roberts.
I already broke that wide open.
Yeah, I heard. The old
rafting trip gambit?
Yep, exactly.
Except for Kip Roberts
texted a picture of himself
to Missy right before she died.
He's holding a paddle
next to a river
with a raft full of bozos.
Eh. Trick photography.
The Tahoe cops are gonna
go pick him up,
but in the meantime, let's go
talk to the victim's sister.
Jane, I need you.
It's nice to be needed.
Anything for you, Lisbon.
Very sorry
for your loss, Emma.
Were you and Missy close?
Missy was like
a second mother to me,
but, you know,
now we're just...
in different places
in our lives,
but I just hadn't seen her
in a while.
Did she say if she was having
any problems recently?
I knew that she was tired
of... staying at home,
you know, and--and, like,
not feeling useful,
and I think that that was why
she started volunteering...
at the bakery.
Where?
Um, the O.G. Bakery.
It's this nonprofit
where they...
They teach ex-cons new skills,
you know,
like baking and...
She started there
a few months ago.
Was anybody giving her
trouble there?
Not that I know of.
Were Missy and Kip, uh...
Trying anything
to save their marriage?
Um...
About a month ago, they...
went on this radio show with
with this Love Doctor guy,
and, um...
I think they were seeing him
privately also.
A love doctor, huh?
Some... Buddy... something,
I don't know.
Um, Henner or...
Buddy Hennings?
He has a talk radio show--
"Prescription For Love
with Buddy Hennings".
What?
I've listened to it
in my car a few times.
All right. I'll go talk
to Buddy Hennings,
the Love Doctor, and you
check out the shady bakery.
Van Pelt and Rigsby
can handle that.
I'll go to the radio station
with you.
Ahh... that's 'cause
you're a fan.
I am not!
Look, I just think
he's a viable lead.
It's all right, Lisbon.
We all have our guilty
pleasures.
Oh, this must be
very exciting for you.
That's enough.
Hey, Van Pelt.
What'd you find out?
Turns out one of the ex-cons
at the bakery
was still selling drugs--
a girl named Monica Suarez,
20.
Missy found out and reported her
to the bakery supervisor.
Well, what's Monica's deal?
She's been in the system
since she was 14.
Vandalism, assault, dealing.
She just got out of
Chowchilla six months ago.
Ah. Real sweetheart.
Yeah, that's what the bakery
supervisor said.
After Missy reported Monica,
Missy's tires were slashed.
She said she saw Monica
following her around a few times.
All right, you and Riggs
go and pick her up.
All right.
All right.
Hi. We need to speak
with Buddy Hennings.
If you want to be on the show,
you have to fill out this form
and take it to couples-intake.
Oh, we're not a couple.
Please.
What she means is ours is
more of a platonic love.
Buddy Hennings, please.
He's on the air.
Talk to his producer.
She's a huge fan.
She's a little--
very excited. Yeah.
Sean, what I'm hearing
from you
is that Lisa has become
sexually cold
ever since the baby
was born.
Oh, excuse me. This--this isn't
a good time. Can I help you?
I'm Agent Lisbon
with the CBI.
This is Patrick Jane.
Hi.
We're investigating the murder
of Missy Roberts.
I'm--I'm sorry to hear about
that, but we're live here.
Come here, please.
You have to excuse
our producer Gary.
He's a bit of
a control freak.
Thinks everyone's out
to ruin his show.
Mm.
Well, just 'cause he's paranoid
doesn't mean they're not
out to get him.
Who are you?
I'm Elizabeth Hennings.
Hi.
I'm Buddy's wife and manager.
Uh, we heard about Missy.
It's just awful.
We need to talk to Buddy.
Okay, well, it's gonna be
a little while, all right?
'Cause we're in the middle
of a segment,
then we have to shoot
a promo for a Webcast, so...
That's all right.
We like to watch.
Don't we?
...look at each other
in the eye.
Look at this. Look at this.
Please don't touch anything.
No, I won't.
Thank you, Mr. Lewis.
Monica's parole officer said
it's the right address.
So we keep waiting.
Stakeouts are the worst.
Wayne,
is something wrong?
No. There's nothing wrong.
I--
I've been feeling kinda weird
since you've been back.
Yeah, you've been acting
kind of weird.
What's up with that?
It's just...
When you were in L.A.,
I had time to think...
About you. About us.
Hmm. Okay.
And?
Well, I mean, did you think
about me at all?
Of course I did.
Wait--is that her
on the left?
Uh, yeah. Come on.
Monica Suarez?
Hey!
CBI!
Get out of the way!
Police!
Police!
Come here.
Get your hands off me!
I got nothing on me!
Yeah, 'cause you threw
your stash in the dumpster.
You good?
Yeah, you?
Yeah.
Talk to me
about Missy Roberts.
Who?
She was murdered
last night.
First I heard of it.
But you messed with her
when she got you fired, right?
I was still on parole.
I-I needed that job.
So you slashed her tires,
stalked her?
I-I just followed her around,
you know, to freak her out.
Oh, yeah? You see
anything interesting?
Not really. I mean, you know,
she went shoe shopping
and got mani-pedis a lot--
you know, rich lady stuff.
Where were you last night?
I was at my cousin's
quinceañera.
All night.
All right. Come on.
Let's go!
This is Buddy Hennings with
"Prescription For Love."
We'll be back in ten minutes,
right after the news.
Buddy, these people
are from CBI.
They're, uh, here about Missy.
Buddy Hennings. Glad to help
any way I can.
Buddy, we have a phone call
with the publisher
in about a half hour.
So, if you all don't need me...
Oh, by all means.
I know you're a busy man.
We just have a few questions.
Missy and Kip--they were
on your show a while back?
Yes. Good people,
both of them.
Some of the couples we get
in here,
they're really just here
for their 15 minutes,
but I had a feeling
that Missy really wanted
to work on her marriage.
That's why I offered
to see them privately.
And when was the last time
you saw them?
Last week. Thursday.
Supposed to come in this week,
but she called to cancel.
She didn't give a reason.
You know what?
I have to take this.
Excuse me. I'm sorry.
Well, listen, Buddy,
while we're just chatting,
just you and I here,
hanging out, a couple of guys,
do you think Kip
could have done it?
No. Absolutely not.
But you said it was Missy
that wanted help
with their marriage,
not Kip.
Well, I think
in the beginning
he was going along
to get along,
but he turned a corner.
How so?
Well, in the first few
sessions he was very distant,
very uncooperative,
both with me and with Missy.
Mm-hmm.
But then, after
a couple of sessions,
he developed an attentiveness
and a warmth
that I hadn't seen in him
before.
He really changed.
Maybe.
You don't agree?
Well...
You know, maybe he was
just covering.
He felt guilty for something,
like having an affair.
Oh...
I saw no signs
of an affair.
Oh, come on.
The recent drive
to get in shape,
suddenly doting on his wife that
he'd been neglecting for years.
Well, I would like to think
that he was responding
to the treatment.
Ah. Bon point.
Hi. Um...
Would you mind giving us
a minute alone?
I'm sorry.
Sure thing.
The cops finally tracked down
the rafting group.
It turns out Kip skipped out
after the first night.
Hmm. I hate to say
I told you so.
And we still don't know
where he is.
His last credit card charge
was yesterday
at a gas station
outside of Tahoe.
The attendant remembers him
being with a blonde woman.
Plot thickens.
Hmm.
Or should I say thins?
Let's go back to the CBI.
I'm gonna put out a BOLO.
BOLO shmolo. We need to
reach a wider audience.
And how do you propose
we do that?
Welcome back to KZHC,
where we play the smooth sounds
of the '80s and the '90s.
I'm Patrick Jane
from the California Bureau
of Investigation.
Yes, that is something
that does exist.
And we're throwing
a contest today
because we need your help
to find a car,
a very important car
that will help us break
a very important case.
We're looking for a silver
Mercedes S-class,
license plate "KIPMAN7"--
we're looking for a silver
Mercedes S K-I-P-M-A-N-7.
The first person to call in
the location of this car
will receive $10,000
cash money.
Yes, folks, we're
talking ca--
whoop. Wait.
I just got word
from my producer
that that is not the amount
of the prize.
It is actually...
$20...
And the chance to guest deejay
here at the radio station...
Day and date of your choosing.
That's right, folks.
Guest deejay spot
during drive time,
and in case you missed it,
I'll put all the details up
on the CBI web site.
Do we have
a CBI web site?
Yes, that nice...
CBI web site.
Excellent. Now let's see
those phone lines light up.
Talk to me, please.
Talk to me, people.
Come on, Sacramento.
I can't believe that worked.
Uh, when did they check in?
Yesterday. Room 311,
under her name--
Rosie Dunlop.
Was she fit? Muscular?
Yeah.
Personal trainer.
Oh.
Okay.
Gonna be like that.
Mr. Roberts, this is CBI!
Open the door!
Mr. Roberts, we're coming in!
Jane?
Please.
Don't shoot. Please.
Oh...
Please--
Kip Roberts?
Uh-huh.
I'm Agent Lisbon with the CBI.
Jungle theme.
It's classy.
Who are you?
What's going on?
Mr. Roberts, are you being
held against your will?
No, not at all.
No, we're consenting adults.
You gotta believe me.
Oh, I believe you.
Missy was... kind.
Selfless.
But she wanted kids.
And after a bunch
of miscarriages, we...
drifted apart.
It's my fault. I know.
Probably.
You cheated on her.
I never meant to hurt Missy.
A-and--and Rosie's
the only one, I swear.
I'm not--I'm not one of
those guys, you know?
How long was the affair
going on?
A few months.
I mean, I tried
to stop, but...
I struggle with willpower.
And...
There were certain... Things
about Rosie that I liked,
things that were
maybe missing from my marriage.
You mean Rosie gets rough
with you. You like that.
Yeah.
You think Missy knew
about the affair?
I don't know. Maybe.
It was weird.
She called me while I was
driving up to Tahoe.
Said she wanted
to make it work,
that she never gave up
on us, that...
She would always love me.
And that's weird?
It was the most intimate
conversation
we'd had in years.
And I vowed to myself that
I would break things off
with Rosie as soon as I got
to the hotel.
Did you?
Yes.
But...
Rosie is a very passionate
woman.
And when I try to break
things off, she hits me.
And when she hits me,
I get turned on.
The heart wants what it wants.
Do we have any closer
photos of Missy's closet?
Um... I don't know.
There's a whole other
stack of pictures.
I just finished
with Kip.
He seemed genuinely upset
about his wife.
Then again,
he was cheating on her.
I talked to Rosie,
the mistress.
She said her and Kip were
drinking at the hotel bar
at the time
of Missy's death.
She has every reason to lie.
Hold on to Kip and her
until their alibis check out.
Was Missy's home
very neat?
You know, an "everything
in its place" type of house?
Yeah. Why?
I'm going back
to the radio station.
I need to take a look
at that, uh,
Webcast thingy
of Missy and Kip.
Why?
I need to see Missy's feet.
Okay.
Hello? KZHC.
Let me check. Hold on.
Hey there.
Hey!
Oh, God.
You gave me a start.
What are you doing here?
Oh, you know. Investigating.
Well, I'm... sorry I was late.
I had an appointment.
You found Kip Roberts,
I presume.
Oh, yes, yes.
It worked like a charm.
In fact, it worked so well,
I'm gonna ask you
for another favor.
Shoot.
I need to see Missy
and Kip's episode
of your show.
Do you have a copy
around here anywhere?
Well, I sure don't.
But I'll bet Gary
could help you.
Great.
I mean, Michael and I
have been together six months,
but sometimes I feel like
we're missing
a deeper connection,
you know?
Mm-hmm. Buddy will definitely
get into that
with you
on the show tomorrow.
You agree with Shayna?
100%.
Really?
100%? Not 98% or 99%?
The full, even 100%?
Wow, Buddy's not gonna have
much to work with here.
Mr. Jane.
Hi.
What a pleasure.
Yeah, always.
I need to see, uh, the Webcast
of Missy and Kip's episode.
Could you get that
for me, please?
Sure. But it'll take
a minute.
Good. Time to make
a cup of tea.
So, Missy and Kip.
Why don't you begin
by telling us
a little bit about
your marriage?
- Is this the only angle you've got?
- We've been married
12 years.
It's a Webcast...
I am a homemaker.
Kip runs...
Not Steven Spielberg.
We're here because
we're just not as close...
Of course.
As we used to be.
Thank you.
Well, I appreciate your honesty.
And I know it's scary,
but it's like I always say,
if nothing changes...
Nothing changes.
Rigsby, it's Jane.
I need you to go back
to Missy Roberts' house.
Okay, for what?
A pair of sexy gold sandals.
I didn't them in her shoe rack,
but I need you to look
everywhere.
Copy that.
Just so that we're clear,
how would you define
sexy?
You'll know it when you see it.
Hey, these are gold.
I'm not sure how sexy
they are.
They're not sexy.
And they're beige.
Oh.
Hey, you know that
Van Pelt's dating someone?
Yeah.
We sort of talked
about us today.
Not really, but... kind of.
It was weird.
What do you think?
I think we need
to call Jane.
They're not here.
Hey, Cho. Any luck?
They're not here.
Well, as expected.
Oh, there is one more thing.
Ask Rigsby what size shoe
Van Pelt is.
What size shoe
does Van Pelt wear?
Uh, I wanna say an 8,
a 7 and a half if they run big.
8.
Excellent.
The hotel bar
has video surveillance.
Kip and Rosie's alibi
check out.
So we're back to square one.
Don't be so sure.
I have a very exciting
assignment for you, Grace.
You do? Cool. What is it?
These are for you.
Try 'em on.
Nothing for me?
Trust me. You won't like 'em.
They're really high.
Try 'em on.
Go on. Take 'em
for a little spin.
That is what
I'm talking about.
Right there.
How do they look?
Mmm. Perfect.
Jane, you want to tell me
what's going on?
Well, let's just say
the game is afoot.
Two feet.
So what's your play here?
Oh, no play.
I'm gonna help 'em.
Right.
Michael. Shayna.
Uh...
Hi.
Hold on a sec.
Patrick Jane.
I met you yesterday
in the studio.
Are you guys excited about
being on the show?
Yes, I can't wait.
Totally, yeah.
Yeah. Sure.
Shayna, why don't you
go ahead?
There's just one thing I want
to go over with Michael.
Okay. I'll wait
over there.
All right.
Hey, are you still there?
Look at that, huh?
Yeah, we just got here.
We're walking right...
All right, listen, Michael,
you don't have to do this
if you don't want to.
You don't have to go
on the radio.
Yeah. Of course I know that.
I want to go.
Well, you can lie to me.
I don't care.
But don't lie to yourself.
I know you think Shayna's
out of your league
and you don't want
to rock the boat.
That's why you agree
with everything she says.
Okay, that's just--
that's just not true.
Okay? I just think
that she's right... a lot.
When was the last time you were
completely honest with her?
Last time you disagreed with
her on something important?
Um...
O-okay.
All right, all right, fine.
Maybe--maybe you're right.
Mm-hmm.
I don't want
to lose her.
I get it.
You know?
I get that. But you're
gonna go in there.
You're gonna tell her,
"Hey, babe,
I don't want to go
on this show."
I mean, who in their
right mind
wants to air their dirty
laundry on the radio
for other people's
entertainment?
It is a terrible idea.
And she will respect you
for making a stand.
You really think so?
Oh, yes.
Women love a strong man.
Besides, have you
listened to the show?
It's crap.
Yeah, yeah, it is.
Right?
Hmm. You're right.
That's right.
I'm not gonna do it.
You're not.
I'm not.
No.
That's it.
That's it, man.
Pound it. Thank you very much.
All right.
Oh...
Oh, thank God. There you are.
What's the matter?
Tonight's couple--
Shayna and Michael--
just canceled.
15 minutes out.
Well, there's a young couple
there in intake.
They're nice-looking kids.
Can you prep them
in time for the show?
I'm gonna have to.
Excuse me.
Just move!
Okay. Change of plans, guys.
You're going on in five.
Oh, that's great news,
isn't it, babe?
Sure, sweetie.
Okay. Stay there.
All right?
Yeah.
4:00.
We're up.
Howdy, everybody.
This is Buddy Hennings
on "Prescription For Love,"
coming to you live
from KZHC here in Sacramento,
and right here
in the studio with us today
we have Dwayne
and Stace.
Welcome to you both.
Hi.
Uh... hi.
We're happy to be here.
Long-time listeners,
first-time... guests.
Well, why don't you begin
by telling us
a little bit about
why you're here?
We're having some
communication issues.
What does that mean,
exactly?
Oh, you know,
we're having trouble,
like, uh, talking
to each other.
Dwayne, how about you
not pee on my head
and call it rain?
Excuse me?
If you want to get better,
you're gonna have to get real
for me, so why don't you
begin by telling me
something I don't know?
W-we have kind of
a... rocky history.
We've been on and off for
about five years--mostly off.
Yeah, we met on the job.
There was a "no fraternization"
policy, but we, um...
Fraternized.
A lot.
Well, now we're getting
somewhere.
How's the sex?
Um...
Well...
It's been a while,
but wh-when we have it,
it's--it's good.
Yes?
Yes.
We should not be
listening to this.
Why aren't you two making love?
Really.
Oh, come on, Lisbon.
Don't be such a prude.
You're young and vibrant.
A little too soon in the game
to be calling a time-out.
There's just a lot of, uh...
baggage
left over
from all the off periods.
Why did you break up?
W-well, I th--I think
we broke up the first time
because you decided that
the job was more important.
Right? Wasn't that it?
Yeah, well, then you got
Sarah pregnant.
Yeah, after you got
engaged to a maniac.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa.
We don't use exaggeration here.
It's no help to us at all.
"Maniac," no.
Maybe you didn't approve.
That's fair game.
Let's get back to the baby.
Is that true, Dwayne?
No.
Uh, yes. I had a baby
with someone else,
but w-we were off.
Totally off.
What about the engagement?
It didn't work out.
Yeah, because he's
a homicidal maniac.
Fine.
Relationships
can be brutal.
And for the record,
I'm not angry about the baby.
Oh, really?
'Cause I never thought
you were angry, but you sound
kind of angry now.
No, I just
thought it was weird
that you would have a baby
with someone you barely knew.
Well, why don't you tell me
what you really think?
But--
But what? What else is there?
But I love that you're a dad.
You do?
When we got together,
we were kids.
I was a young, naive girl.
I wasn't ready
to commit to you.
It wasn't about the job.
At least that wasn't
all of it.
But things have changed
since then.
We're not the same.
And that's okay.
I like who I am now.
I like who you are.
You're a man.
You guys are fantastic.
So real.
Before we go, is there
anything you two
would like to say
to each other?
No.
Yes.
Just...
I'm sorry.
For a lot of things.
I care about you and I never
meant to hurt you.
All right, your turn.
Anything?
You know how I feel
about you.
It's the same way
I've always felt.
It's never changed.
Since the first day
I met you.
Well, then my work
is done here.
Thank you for listening
to "Prescription For Love""
this is Buddy Hennings
on KZHC talk radio.
Bravo.
That was
a fantastic show.
Thanks.
That was really helpful.
Yeah. Yeah, it was.
Thanks, doc.
Excuse me.
Hello?
Great job, Rigsby.
Oh, hi, boss.
Wow. Tonight? Really?
Uh... y-yeah.
I'll be right there.
Okay. Bye.
Uh...
I'm so sorry, babe.
It's the Carson job.
I have to go into work.
Uh, you okay to take a cab home?
Oh. Sure. Go.
Um... see you later.
Yeah.
Thanks again, Doc.
My pleasure.
And don't you worry
about her.
We'll take good care of her.
Thanks.
Stace, you know, you have
a natural presence on radio.
I mean it.
You are a natural.
Are you saying I have
a face for radio?
Oh, no, no, not at all.
You are definitely
drop-dead gorgeous.
Oh...
You know, I think maybe
you two could benefit
from some private sessions.
Would you be up for that?
Oh. Thank you.
That's so nice of you.
Oh, my pleasure.
Hmm.
Just make sure you call
my office.
Can I call you a cab?
Oh, no, no, no.
I'll take care of it.
Thank you for everything.
I'm--I'll see you soon.
Um, do you mind if I...
Okay.
See you later.
Ow!
Oh...
Oh... oh... ow.
What happened?
Ow.
Oh, my heel broke. I think
I twisted my ankle.
That does look bad.
All right, we'll get you
to my office, and we'll--
- we'll get some ice on it.
- Come on.
Come on.
Hey. How's it going?
Perfect.
The heel thing
worked a treat.
Van Pelt is now alone
with the killer.
There we go.
That should help
with the swelling.
It's cold.
Yeah.
May I?
Sure.
How does that feel?
It feels
pretty good, actually.
He's really into feet.
How did you know that?
Eh, it was kind of obvious,
don't you think?
I wouldn't be asking
if it was.
Well, she was shot in the foot,
and her shoes were missing.
The shoes that she wore
the first time she met Buddy.
That's it?
Well, no. He also has a large
picture of a woman's foot
in a ballet shoe
en pointe in his office.
He gets manicures
at the salon.
He likes to watch women
get pedicures.
Mm-hmm.
Gross.
Yeah. Are we listening here, folks?
My ankle's actually
feeling better,
but don't stop.
You have amazing feet.
I do?
Yes.
Thanks.
There's nothing sexier
than an amazing foot
in an amazing shoe.
Yeah, those were
my favorite pair.
What am I gonna wear home?
Well, I think I may be able
to help you with that.
Yeah?
Hold on.
Don't go anywhere.
Okay.
You're about a 7 and a half,
8, right?
Yeah.
Well, I think these
should work out.
Yes, I think that will
work just perfectly.
Hmm. Those gold sandals
are gorgeous.
I love them.
That's our cue.
Let's go!
Whoa! Put the gun down!
Don't shoot.
Uh, wasn't expecting that.
You talk to people
for a living.
But you couldn't talk to me,
tell me what you needed.
I wanted to be enough
for you,
but I could not compete
with...
That.
Elizabeth, please,
sweetheart.
Please, please
put the gun down!
Just relax, take it easy,
and nobody will get hurt.
Really, sweetie?
Because you should see what
I did with the last one.
Elizabeth, no.
No, please tell me
you didn't.
What choice did I have?
You weren't gonna stop.
You're not gonna stop.
CBI! Don't move!
Put the gun on the table!
Do it!
Hands behind your back.
You're under arrest.
You okay?
Yeah. Thank you.
I had some trysts
a few years back.
When the show hit big, I knew
I'd have to control myself.
I love Elizabeth.
Why Missy?
I don't expect you
to understand this.
She had the highest arches
I've ever seen.
Exquisite.
The ballistics
report proves
the bullets came
from your gun.
He was sleeping with her,
and you couldn't stand that.
Grace, is it?
You're a pretty young thing.
But it won't last forever.
You think he's still gonna
want you when you're my age?
Of course I couldn't stand it.
He was lying.
And sneaking around
like a horny teenager.
With her.
She called me to her house
to end it.
She said she felt guilty,
taken advantage of.
They wanted to make
their marriage work.
You try to change her mind?
Oh, yeah,
but it didn't work.
She wouldn't take me back.
That's when I asked her
for something to...
remember her by.
That's when she gave me
the shoes.
Just to get rid of me,
I guess.
I just wanted to scare her
a little.
Tell her to leave him alone.
But then she had the nerve
to call him a creep,
like she was too good
for him.
I lost it.
And then I still had
all this rage.
And I have to admit...
It felt good.
Your brow is furrowed.
You have that squinty look
in your eye.
You want to talk to me about
the whole foot fetish thing...
But the catholic schoolgirl
in you tells you
that it's not necessarily
appropriate.
You're right.
Look, I don't get it.
I can't wrap my head
around it.
Well, I mean, "fetish"
is a strong word,
but everyone has that thing.
It's just...
It's human nature.
I don't.
Oh, come on, Lisbon.
Don't deny yourself
that freedom.
There's definitely something
out there that works for you,
that flips your switch.
Like turtlenecks.
You're right.
It's inappropriate.
Good night.
Turtlenecks it is.
Hey.
Hey.
What's up?
Yeah?
== sync, corrected by elderman ==
Stay tuned for scenes
from our next episode.
a couple more questions.
Hey. Where's Lisbon?
She's in court.
You know you're late.
Yeah, I must have turned
my alarm clock off.
Overslept.
Hmm. Hot date?
What are you talking about?
Well, you know.
Duncan. From L.A.
Wayne, it's not like that.
Oh, right. Sure.
You mind finishing up
these interviews?
Hi.
Van Pelt's here now.
Is Jane coming?
I don't know. Call him.
Hey, Rigsby.
What's going on?
Uh, you know we have
a case, right?
Yeah. I heard.
I'm, uh, kind of busy here,
so I'm not gonna make it.
He's not gonna make it.
Yeah, but I'm happy to help.
Help how?
Well, you two talk to me,
and I'll listen.
You'll be my eyes
and my ears.
Okay, I'll put you
on speaker.
Cho.
Tell Jane what we got.
Housewife.
Missy Roberts. 32.
Maid found her
shot in the bathroom.
There's bullet holes
in the hallway
and one
in the closet door here.
So it looks like a fight
started elsewhere
then she ran to the bathroom.
Forensics recovered
9-millimeter casings.
Eh, forensics.
Tell me about the body.
Well, she's lying here
on the floor
in gym clothes.
She's been shot in the chest,
uh, once in the foot,
and there's two bullet holes
lodged in the ground,
so we're not dealing
with an expert marksman.
Well, maybe, maybe not.
Uh, what about the husband?
Yeah. Husband.
Name's Kip. He runs a high-end
home electronics company.
He left town two days ago
on some boondoggle white-water
rafting trip to Tahoe.
Interesting.
How did he take the news?
Well, he hasn't
gotten it yet.
His office says
the rafting group will be
out of cell range
for another day or so.
Hmm. Describe to me
the bedroom.
Why?
Well, I want to understand
their relationship.
A bedroom says a lot.
Okay.
All right, it's, uh...
Cold, impersonal.
Tightly made bed.
No pictures.
Mm. Let's try the kitchen.
Okay.
Okay. What am I looking for?
Tell me what's in the fridge.
Butter, milk, eggs...
Baking stuff.
Which makes sense,
because there are these
awesome looking cupcakes
on the counter.
They're, uh, red velvet,
I think.
Yeah. Wh-what else
is in the fridge?
Uh...
A bunch of diet shakes
and soda.
Hmm. Is the victim heavy?
Oh, no, she's very thin.
What about Kip?
Um, I guess
he's kind of chubby.
But it looks like he sees
a personal trainer, though.
Oh, this is not
a happy marriage.
Kip's portly but fights it.
Missy is naturally thin
and a gourmet baker.
He views her hobby
as a sabotage and resents it.
She views his dieting
as a lack of interest
in her personal outlet.
You need to talk to Kip.
He wants us to talk to Kip.
We can't--
not until tomorrow.
Oh, please, this is
the last guy who'd go
on a white-water rafting trip.
You don't hire
a personal trainer
'cause you like
strenuous activity.
You hire a personal trainer
because it's the only possible
way to get yourself to do it.
So you think he lied
about the trip?
Well, I'm almost certain.
So if he's not white-water
rafting, where is he?
Well, I don't know, but I'm sure
you two will figure it out.
And, Rigsby...
Put the cupcake back.

Original Air Date on April 21, 2013
== sync, corrected by elderman ==
Lisbon, I can hear you
skulking around out there.
What is it?
We've got a case.
You can deal
with Red John later.
Yeah, Missy Roberts.
I already broke that wide open.
Yeah, I heard. The old
rafting trip gambit?
Yep, exactly.
Except for Kip Roberts
texted a picture of himself
to Missy right before she died.
He's holding a paddle
next to a river
with a raft full of bozos.
Eh. Trick photography.
The Tahoe cops are gonna
go pick him up,
but in the meantime, let's go
talk to the victim's sister.
Jane, I need you.
It's nice to be needed.
Anything for you, Lisbon.
Very sorry
for your loss, Emma.
Were you and Missy close?
Missy was like
a second mother to me,
but, you know,
now we're just...
in different places
in our lives,
but I just hadn't seen her
in a while.
Did she say if she was having
any problems recently?
I knew that she was tired
of... staying at home,
you know, and--and, like,
not feeling useful,
and I think that that was why
she started volunteering...
at the bakery.
Where?
Um, the O.G. Bakery.
It's this nonprofit
where they...
They teach ex-cons new skills,
you know,
like baking and...
She started there
a few months ago.
Was anybody giving her
trouble there?
Not that I know of.
Were Missy and Kip, uh...
Trying anything
to save their marriage?
Um...
About a month ago, they...
went on this radio show with
with this Love Doctor guy,
and, um...
I think they were seeing him
privately also.
A love doctor, huh?
Some... Buddy... something,
I don't know.
Um, Henner or...
Buddy Hennings?
He has a talk radio show--
"Prescription For Love
with Buddy Hennings".
What?
I've listened to it
in my car a few times.
All right. I'll go talk
to Buddy Hennings,
the Love Doctor, and you
check out the shady bakery.
Van Pelt and Rigsby
can handle that.
I'll go to the radio station
with you.
Ahh... that's 'cause
you're a fan.
I am not!
Look, I just think
he's a viable lead.
It's all right, Lisbon.
We all have our guilty
pleasures.
Oh, this must be
very exciting for you.
That's enough.
Hey, Van Pelt.
What'd you find out?
Turns out one of the ex-cons
at the bakery
was still selling drugs--
a girl named Monica Suarez,
20.
Missy found out and reported her
to the bakery supervisor.
Well, what's Monica's deal?
She's been in the system
since she was 14.
Vandalism, assault, dealing.
She just got out of
Chowchilla six months ago.
Ah. Real sweetheart.
Yeah, that's what the bakery
supervisor said.
After Missy reported Monica,
Missy's tires were slashed.
She said she saw Monica
following her around a few times.
All right, you and Riggs
go and pick her up.
All right.
All right.
Hi. We need to speak
with Buddy Hennings.
If you want to be on the show,
you have to fill out this form
and take it to couples-intake.
Oh, we're not a couple.
Please.
What she means is ours is
more of a platonic love.
Buddy Hennings, please.
He's on the air.
Talk to his producer.
She's a huge fan.
She's a little--
very excited. Yeah.
Sean, what I'm hearing
from you
is that Lisa has become
sexually cold
ever since the baby
was born.
Oh, excuse me. This--this isn't
a good time. Can I help you?
I'm Agent Lisbon
with the CBI.
This is Patrick Jane.
Hi.
We're investigating the murder
of Missy Roberts.
I'm--I'm sorry to hear about
that, but we're live here.
Come here, please.
You have to excuse
our producer Gary.
He's a bit of
a control freak.
Thinks everyone's out
to ruin his show.
Mm.
Well, just 'cause he's paranoid
doesn't mean they're not
out to get him.
Who are you?
I'm Elizabeth Hennings.
Hi.
I'm Buddy's wife and manager.
Uh, we heard about Missy.
It's just awful.
We need to talk to Buddy.
Okay, well, it's gonna be
a little while, all right?
'Cause we're in the middle
of a segment,
then we have to shoot
a promo for a Webcast, so...
That's all right.
We like to watch.
Don't we?
...look at each other
in the eye.
Look at this. Look at this.
Please don't touch anything.
No, I won't.
Thank you, Mr. Lewis.
Monica's parole officer said
it's the right address.
So we keep waiting.
Stakeouts are the worst.
Wayne,
is something wrong?
No. There's nothing wrong.
I--
I've been feeling kinda weird
since you've been back.
Yeah, you've been acting
kind of weird.
What's up with that?
It's just...
When you were in L.A.,
I had time to think...
About you. About us.
Hmm. Okay.
And?
Well, I mean, did you think
about me at all?
Of course I did.
Wait--is that her
on the left?
Uh, yeah. Come on.
Monica Suarez?
Hey!
CBI!
Get out of the way!
Police!
Police!
Come here.
Get your hands off me!
I got nothing on me!
Yeah, 'cause you threw
your stash in the dumpster.
You good?
Yeah, you?
Yeah.
Talk to me
about Missy Roberts.
Who?
She was murdered
last night.
First I heard of it.
But you messed with her
when she got you fired, right?
I was still on parole.
I-I needed that job.
So you slashed her tires,
stalked her?
I-I just followed her around,
you know, to freak her out.
Oh, yeah? You see
anything interesting?
Not really. I mean, you know,
she went shoe shopping
and got mani-pedis a lot--
you know, rich lady stuff.
Where were you last night?
I was at my cousin's
quinceañera.
All night.
All right. Come on.
Let's go!
This is Buddy Hennings with
"Prescription For Love."
We'll be back in ten minutes,
right after the news.
Buddy, these people
are from CBI.
They're, uh, here about Missy.
Buddy Hennings. Glad to help
any way I can.
Buddy, we have a phone call
with the publisher
in about a half hour.
So, if you all don't need me...
Oh, by all means.
I know you're a busy man.
We just have a few questions.
Missy and Kip--they were
on your show a while back?
Yes. Good people,
both of them.
Some of the couples we get
in here,
they're really just here
for their 15 minutes,
but I had a feeling
that Missy really wanted
to work on her marriage.
That's why I offered
to see them privately.
And when was the last time
you saw them?
Last week. Thursday.
Supposed to come in this week,
but she called to cancel.
She didn't give a reason.
You know what?
I have to take this.
Excuse me. I'm sorry.
Well, listen, Buddy,
while we're just chatting,
just you and I here,
hanging out, a couple of guys,
do you think Kip
could have done it?
No. Absolutely not.
But you said it was Missy
that wanted help
with their marriage,
not Kip.
Well, I think
in the beginning
he was going along
to get along,
but he turned a corner.
How so?
Well, in the first few
sessions he was very distant,
very uncooperative,
both with me and with Missy.
Mm-hmm.
But then, after
a couple of sessions,
he developed an attentiveness
and a warmth
that I hadn't seen in him
before.
He really changed.
Maybe.
You don't agree?
Well...
You know, maybe he was
just covering.
He felt guilty for something,
like having an affair.
Oh...
I saw no signs
of an affair.
Oh, come on.
The recent drive
to get in shape,
suddenly doting on his wife that
he'd been neglecting for years.
Well, I would like to think
that he was responding
to the treatment.
Ah. Bon point.
Hi. Um...
Would you mind giving us
a minute alone?
I'm sorry.
Sure thing.
The cops finally tracked down
the rafting group.
It turns out Kip skipped out
after the first night.
Hmm. I hate to say
I told you so.
And we still don't know
where he is.
His last credit card charge
was yesterday
at a gas station
outside of Tahoe.
The attendant remembers him
being with a blonde woman.
Plot thickens.
Hmm.
Or should I say thins?
Let's go back to the CBI.
I'm gonna put out a BOLO.
BOLO shmolo. We need to
reach a wider audience.
And how do you propose
we do that?
Welcome back to KZHC,
where we play the smooth sounds
of the '80s and the '90s.
I'm Patrick Jane
from the California Bureau
of Investigation.
Yes, that is something
that does exist.
And we're throwing
a contest today
because we need your help
to find a car,
a very important car
that will help us break
a very important case.
We're looking for a silver
Mercedes S-class,
license plate "KIPMAN7"--
we're looking for a silver
Mercedes S K-I-P-M-A-N-7.
The first person to call in
the location of this car
will receive $10,000
cash money.
Yes, folks, we're
talking ca--
whoop. Wait.
I just got word
from my producer
that that is not the amount
of the prize.
It is actually...
$20...
And the chance to guest deejay
here at the radio station...
Day and date of your choosing.
That's right, folks.
Guest deejay spot
during drive time,
and in case you missed it,
I'll put all the details up
on the CBI web site.
Do we have
a CBI web site?
Yes, that nice...
CBI web site.
Excellent. Now let's see
those phone lines light up.
Talk to me, please.
Talk to me, people.
Come on, Sacramento.
I can't believe that worked.
Uh, when did they check in?
Yesterday. Room 311,
under her name--
Rosie Dunlop.
Was she fit? Muscular?
Yeah.
Personal trainer.
Oh.
Okay.
Gonna be like that.
Mr. Roberts, this is CBI!
Open the door!
Mr. Roberts, we're coming in!
Jane?
Please.
Don't shoot. Please.
Oh...
Please--
Kip Roberts?
Uh-huh.
I'm Agent Lisbon with the CBI.
Jungle theme.
It's classy.
Who are you?
What's going on?
Mr. Roberts, are you being
held against your will?
No, not at all.
No, we're consenting adults.
You gotta believe me.
Oh, I believe you.
Missy was... kind.
Selfless.
But she wanted kids.
And after a bunch
of miscarriages, we...
drifted apart.
It's my fault. I know.
Probably.
You cheated on her.
I never meant to hurt Missy.
A-and--and Rosie's
the only one, I swear.
I'm not--I'm not one of
those guys, you know?
How long was the affair
going on?
A few months.
I mean, I tried
to stop, but...
I struggle with willpower.
And...
There were certain... Things
about Rosie that I liked,
things that were
maybe missing from my marriage.
You mean Rosie gets rough
with you. You like that.
Yeah.
You think Missy knew
about the affair?
I don't know. Maybe.
It was weird.
She called me while I was
driving up to Tahoe.
Said she wanted
to make it work,
that she never gave up
on us, that...
She would always love me.
And that's weird?
It was the most intimate
conversation
we'd had in years.
And I vowed to myself that
I would break things off
with Rosie as soon as I got
to the hotel.
Did you?
Yes.
But...
Rosie is a very passionate
woman.
And when I try to break
things off, she hits me.
And when she hits me,
I get turned on.
The heart wants what it wants.
Do we have any closer
photos of Missy's closet?
Um... I don't know.
There's a whole other
stack of pictures.
I just finished
with Kip.
He seemed genuinely upset
about his wife.
Then again,
he was cheating on her.
I talked to Rosie,
the mistress.
She said her and Kip were
drinking at the hotel bar
at the time
of Missy's death.
She has every reason to lie.
Hold on to Kip and her
until their alibis check out.
Was Missy's home
very neat?
You know, an "everything
in its place" type of house?
Yeah. Why?
I'm going back
to the radio station.
I need to take a look
at that, uh,
Webcast thingy
of Missy and Kip.
Why?
I need to see Missy's feet.
Okay.
Hello? KZHC.
Let me check. Hold on.
Hey there.
Hey!
Oh, God.
You gave me a start.
What are you doing here?
Oh, you know. Investigating.
Well, I'm... sorry I was late.
I had an appointment.
You found Kip Roberts,
I presume.
Oh, yes, yes.
It worked like a charm.
In fact, it worked so well,
I'm gonna ask you
for another favor.
Shoot.
I need to see Missy
and Kip's episode
of your show.
Do you have a copy
around here anywhere?
Well, I sure don't.
But I'll bet Gary
could help you.
Great.
I mean, Michael and I
have been together six months,
but sometimes I feel like
we're missing
a deeper connection,
you know?
Mm-hmm. Buddy will definitely
get into that
with you
on the show tomorrow.
You agree with Shayna?
100%.
Really?
100%? Not 98% or 99%?
The full, even 100%?
Wow, Buddy's not gonna have
much to work with here.
Mr. Jane.
Hi.
What a pleasure.
Yeah, always.
I need to see, uh, the Webcast
of Missy and Kip's episode.
Could you get that
for me, please?
Sure. But it'll take
a minute.
Good. Time to make
a cup of tea.
So, Missy and Kip.
Why don't you begin
by telling us
a little bit about
your marriage?
- Is this the only angle you've got?
- We've been married
12 years.
It's a Webcast...
I am a homemaker.
Kip runs...
Not Steven Spielberg.
We're here because
we're just not as close...
Of course.
As we used to be.
Thank you.
Well, I appreciate your honesty.
And I know it's scary,
but it's like I always say,
if nothing changes...
Nothing changes.
Rigsby, it's Jane.
I need you to go back
to Missy Roberts' house.
Okay, for what?
A pair of sexy gold sandals.
I didn't them in her shoe rack,
but I need you to look
everywhere.
Copy that.
Just so that we're clear,
how would you define
sexy?
You'll know it when you see it.
Hey, these are gold.
I'm not sure how sexy
they are.
They're not sexy.
And they're beige.
Oh.
Hey, you know that
Van Pelt's dating someone?
Yeah.
We sort of talked
about us today.
Not really, but... kind of.
It was weird.
What do you think?
I think we need
to call Jane.
They're not here.
Hey, Cho. Any luck?
They're not here.
Well, as expected.
Oh, there is one more thing.
Ask Rigsby what size shoe
Van Pelt is.
What size shoe
does Van Pelt wear?
Uh, I wanna say an 8,
a 7 and a half if they run big.
8.
Excellent.
The hotel bar
has video surveillance.
Kip and Rosie's alibi
check out.
So we're back to square one.
Don't be so sure.
I have a very exciting
assignment for you, Grace.
You do? Cool. What is it?
These are for you.
Try 'em on.
Nothing for me?
Trust me. You won't like 'em.
They're really high.
Try 'em on.
Go on. Take 'em
for a little spin.
That is what
I'm talking about.
Right there.
How do they look?
Mmm. Perfect.
Jane, you want to tell me
what's going on?
Well, let's just say
the game is afoot.
Two feet.
So what's your play here?
Oh, no play.
I'm gonna help 'em.
Right.
Michael. Shayna.
Uh...
Hi.
Hold on a sec.
Patrick Jane.
I met you yesterday
in the studio.
Are you guys excited about
being on the show?
Yes, I can't wait.
Totally, yeah.
Yeah. Sure.
Shayna, why don't you
go ahead?
There's just one thing I want
to go over with Michael.
Okay. I'll wait
over there.
All right.
Hey, are you still there?
Look at that, huh?
Yeah, we just got here.
We're walking right...
All right, listen, Michael,
you don't have to do this
if you don't want to.
You don't have to go
on the radio.
Yeah. Of course I know that.
I want to go.
Well, you can lie to me.
I don't care.
But don't lie to yourself.
I know you think Shayna's
out of your league
and you don't want
to rock the boat.
That's why you agree
with everything she says.
Okay, that's just--
that's just not true.
Okay? I just think
that she's right... a lot.
When was the last time you were
completely honest with her?
Last time you disagreed with
her on something important?
Um...
O-okay.
All right, all right, fine.
Maybe--maybe you're right.
Mm-hmm.
I don't want
to lose her.
I get it.
You know?
I get that. But you're
gonna go in there.
You're gonna tell her,
"Hey, babe,
I don't want to go
on this show."
I mean, who in their
right mind
wants to air their dirty
laundry on the radio
for other people's
entertainment?
It is a terrible idea.
And she will respect you
for making a stand.
You really think so?
Oh, yes.
Women love a strong man.
Besides, have you
listened to the show?
It's crap.
Yeah, yeah, it is.
Right?
Hmm. You're right.
That's right.
I'm not gonna do it.
You're not.
I'm not.
No.
That's it.
That's it, man.
Pound it. Thank you very much.
All right.
Oh...
Oh, thank God. There you are.
What's the matter?
Tonight's couple--
Shayna and Michael--
just canceled.
15 minutes out.
Well, there's a young couple
there in intake.
They're nice-looking kids.
Can you prep them
in time for the show?
I'm gonna have to.
Excuse me.
Just move!
Okay. Change of plans, guys.
You're going on in five.
Oh, that's great news,
isn't it, babe?
Sure, sweetie.
Okay. Stay there.
All right?
Yeah.
4:00.
We're up.
Howdy, everybody.
This is Buddy Hennings
on "Prescription For Love,"
coming to you live
from KZHC here in Sacramento,
and right here
in the studio with us today
we have Dwayne
and Stace.
Welcome to you both.
Hi.
Uh... hi.
We're happy to be here.
Long-time listeners,
first-time... guests.
Well, why don't you begin
by telling us
a little bit about
why you're here?
We're having some
communication issues.
What does that mean,
exactly?
Oh, you know,
we're having trouble,
like, uh, talking
to each other.
Dwayne, how about you
not pee on my head
and call it rain?
Excuse me?
If you want to get better,
you're gonna have to get real
for me, so why don't you
begin by telling me
something I don't know?
W-we have kind of
a... rocky history.
We've been on and off for
about five years--mostly off.
Yeah, we met on the job.
There was a "no fraternization"
policy, but we, um...
Fraternized.
A lot.
Well, now we're getting
somewhere.
How's the sex?
Um...
Well...
It's been a while,
but wh-when we have it,
it's--it's good.
Yes?
Yes.
We should not be
listening to this.
Why aren't you two making love?
Really.
Oh, come on, Lisbon.
Don't be such a prude.
You're young and vibrant.
A little too soon in the game
to be calling a time-out.
There's just a lot of, uh...
baggage
left over
from all the off periods.
Why did you break up?
W-well, I th--I think
we broke up the first time
because you decided that
the job was more important.
Right? Wasn't that it?
Yeah, well, then you got
Sarah pregnant.
Yeah, after you got
engaged to a maniac.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa.
We don't use exaggeration here.
It's no help to us at all.
"Maniac," no.
Maybe you didn't approve.
That's fair game.
Let's get back to the baby.
Is that true, Dwayne?
No.
Uh, yes. I had a baby
with someone else,
but w-we were off.
Totally off.
What about the engagement?
It didn't work out.
Yeah, because he's
a homicidal maniac.
Fine.
Relationships
can be brutal.
And for the record,
I'm not angry about the baby.
Oh, really?
'Cause I never thought
you were angry, but you sound
kind of angry now.
No, I just
thought it was weird
that you would have a baby
with someone you barely knew.
Well, why don't you tell me
what you really think?
But--
But what? What else is there?
But I love that you're a dad.
You do?
When we got together,
we were kids.
I was a young, naive girl.
I wasn't ready
to commit to you.
It wasn't about the job.
At least that wasn't
all of it.
But things have changed
since then.
We're not the same.
And that's okay.
I like who I am now.
I like who you are.
You're a man.
You guys are fantastic.
So real.
Before we go, is there
anything you two
would like to say
to each other?
No.
Yes.
Just...
I'm sorry.
For a lot of things.
I care about you and I never
meant to hurt you.
All right, your turn.
Anything?
You know how I feel
about you.
It's the same way
I've always felt.
It's never changed.
Since the first day
I met you.
Well, then my work
is done here.
Thank you for listening
to "Prescription For Love""
this is Buddy Hennings
on KZHC talk radio.
Bravo.
That was
a fantastic show.
Thanks.
That was really helpful.
Yeah. Yeah, it was.
Thanks, doc.
Excuse me.
Hello?
Great job, Rigsby.
Oh, hi, boss.
Wow. Tonight? Really?
Uh... y-yeah.
I'll be right there.
Okay. Bye.
Uh...
I'm so sorry, babe.
It's the Carson job.
I have to go into work.
Uh, you okay to take a cab home?
Oh. Sure. Go.
Um... see you later.
Yeah.
Thanks again, Doc.
My pleasure.
And don't you worry
about her.
We'll take good care of her.
Thanks.
Stace, you know, you have
a natural presence on radio.
I mean it.
You are a natural.
Are you saying I have
a face for radio?
Oh, no, no, not at all.
You are definitely
drop-dead gorgeous.
Oh...
You know, I think maybe
you two could benefit
from some private sessions.
Would you be up for that?
Oh. Thank you.
That's so nice of you.
Oh, my pleasure.
Hmm.
Just make sure you call
my office.
Can I call you a cab?
Oh, no, no, no.
I'll take care of it.
Thank you for everything.
I'm--I'll see you soon.
Um, do you mind if I...
Okay.
See you later.
Ow!
Oh...
Oh... oh... ow.
What happened?
Ow.
Oh, my heel broke. I think
I twisted my ankle.
That does look bad.
All right, we'll get you
to my office, and we'll--
- we'll get some ice on it.
- Come on.
Come on.
Hey. How's it going?
Perfect.
The heel thing
worked a treat.
Van Pelt is now alone
with the killer.
There we go.
That should help
with the swelling.
It's cold.
Yeah.
May I?
Sure.
How does that feel?
It feels
pretty good, actually.
He's really into feet.
How did you know that?
Eh, it was kind of obvious,
don't you think?
I wouldn't be asking
if it was.
Well, she was shot in the foot,
and her shoes were missing.
The shoes that she wore
the first time she met Buddy.
That's it?
Well, no. He also has a large
picture of a woman's foot
in a ballet shoe
en pointe in his office.
He gets manicures
at the salon.
He likes to watch women
get pedicures.
Mm-hmm.
Gross.
Yeah. Are we listening here, folks?
My ankle's actually
feeling better,
but don't stop.
You have amazing feet.
I do?
Yes.
Thanks.
There's nothing sexier
than an amazing foot
in an amazing shoe.
Yeah, those were
my favorite pair.
What am I gonna wear home?
Well, I think I may be able
to help you with that.
Yeah?
Hold on.
Don't go anywhere.
Okay.
You're about a 7 and a half,
8, right?
Yeah.
Well, I think these
should work out.
Yes, I think that will
work just perfectly.
Hmm. Those gold sandals
are gorgeous.
I love them.
That's our cue.
Let's go!
Whoa! Put the gun down!
Don't shoot.
Uh, wasn't expecting that.
You talk to people
for a living.
But you couldn't talk to me,
tell me what you needed.
I wanted to be enough
for you,
but I could not compete
with...
That.
Elizabeth, please,
sweetheart.
Please, please
put the gun down!
Just relax, take it easy,
and nobody will get hurt.
Really, sweetie?
Because you should see what
I did with the last one.
Elizabeth, no.
No, please tell me
you didn't.
What choice did I have?
You weren't gonna stop.
You're not gonna stop.
CBI! Don't move!
Put the gun on the table!
Do it!
Hands behind your back.
You're under arrest.
You okay?
Yeah. Thank you.
I had some trysts
a few years back.
When the show hit big, I knew
I'd have to control myself.
I love Elizabeth.
Why Missy?
I don't expect you
to understand this.
She had the highest arches
I've ever seen.
Exquisite.
The ballistics
report proves
the bullets came
from your gun.
He was sleeping with her,
and you couldn't stand that.
Grace, is it?
You're a pretty young thing.
But it won't last forever.
You think he's still gonna
want you when you're my age?
Of course I couldn't stand it.
He was lying.
And sneaking around
like a horny teenager.
With her.
She called me to her house
to end it.
She said she felt guilty,
taken advantage of.
They wanted to make
their marriage work.
You try to change her mind?
Oh, yeah,
but it didn't work.
She wouldn't take me back.
That's when I asked her
for something to...
remember her by.
That's when she gave me
the shoes.
Just to get rid of me,
I guess.
I just wanted to scare her
a little.
Tell her to leave him alone.
But then she had the nerve
to call him a creep,
like she was too good
for him.
I lost it.
And then I still had
all this rage.
And I have to admit...
It felt good.
Your brow is furrowed.
You have that squinty look
in your eye.
You want to talk to me about
the whole foot fetish thing...
But the catholic schoolgirl
in you tells you
that it's not necessarily
appropriate.
You're right.
Look, I don't get it.
I can't wrap my head
around it.
Well, I mean, "fetish"
is a strong word,
but everyone has that thing.
It's just...
It's human nature.
I don't.
Oh, come on, Lisbon.
Don't deny yourself
that freedom.
There's definitely something
out there that works for you,
that flips your switch.
Like turtlenecks.
You're right.
It's inappropriate.
Good night.
Turtlenecks it is.
Hey.
Hey.
What's up?
Yeah?
