the situation so and uh billy's a good judge of human nature he just understands television you're that uh random axe of generosity guy actually he's the competition my message is more about helping others in order to help yourself good work feels great pays well too your parents we are wonderful people so i wanted to know their lives were much appreciated thank you i now go take care you and laurie make a lovely couple we're not uh i'm an english professor forgive me you seem to close billy did you really have to do that i needed to be certain and are you i'm not sure [Music] it's okay honey it's a nightmare [Music] the knife's back when laurie was four years old she was abducted she was gone for two years it was hell from my parents me too i was babysitting her when it happened she was eventually found alone and lost near pittsburgh what was she like when she came home different afraid to go to bed to refuse my father's attention and even then i was sure she'd been abused but uh she didn't remember anything did she have a thorough medical examination after she was found she had a few sessions with a psychiatrist but my parents never said what went on yes pretend it didn't happen was the prevailing attitude of the time most people felt that if you ignored abuse it would just be forgotten i guess i did the same lori seemed to get better she even dated in high school um but she was never really interested in men until greg bennett came along last year and then she ended that how's she been since your parents death she's been having nightmares the same one she had as a child and i feel so responsible what kind of nightmares there's just one she calls it the knife dream in it someone cuts her throat dr donnelly i feel uncomfortable talking about lori like this but but i've consulted on half a dozen of your cases and you didn't know who else to approach thank you for agreeing to meet with me can you recommend anyone who can help no i have an open appointment tomorrow you don't think i'm qualified no you're one of the most respected psychiatrists in the state i can't ask you to treat laurie well all you'll do is convince her to see me she'll decide who treats her well that may be the hardest part he's a wonderful doctor lauren i don't need to see a shrink i need to get on with my life and go back to my classes but wouldn't it be easier if you got a good night's sleep the dream doesn't happen every night did you remember that sleepwalking case i prosecuted the guy who killed his wife while fighting monsters in his nightmares yeah i remember well the defense had three psychiatrists who all claimed it was possible in 10 minutes dr donnelly completely destroyed their argument and he's an expert sarah oh one appointment if you don't like him i will mention it again i'll think about it now i've got to get back to this english paper i'm gonna be up all night as it is okay just i need an answer by the morning i promise bye bye the message of the universe is clear good work feels great give up your life and you receive a hundred fold you've all felt it buy a bomb a cup of coffee toss a street kid a quarter you feel good you feel great but i know you're asking where's my cup of coffee who's got a quarter for me right remember good work feels great and being rich feels a whole lot better let me show you how bravo billy that was your best show ever the warehouse won't be able to keep up with all the orders do you think maybe we could get away for a few weeks somewhere i've been thinking about the girl she was so childlike lost and in need of compassion we should get in touch really i don't like the way that professor looked at her she's vulnerable right now he might take advantage billy now's not the time money's rolling in your engagements are booked weeks in advance scene in scene magazine is at work on a cover story the universe took her parents to make room for us and you know we always must do what the universe asks we need to find a reason to see her and make sure she doesn't remember really she'll be quiet color all we need to do is remind her of her promise hello laurie's room a sleepy sharon speaking hey sharon uh is lori there i picked up because a machine conked out on her the other day sarah yeah uh do you know where she is she told me she'd be working all night no she went out and by the look of her she had a really hot date you won't leave a message no uh i'll call in the morning cool [Music] hello laura i'm sorry it's so early but you're out when i called last night who told you i was out i was up until four with that damn paper whatever uh did you make a decision about dr donnelly you're not letting this go are you gonna be there at 10 okay bye sarah tells me that you feel responsible for your parents accident is that a fair statement i broke an appointment for a dmv inspection my dad took the car in for me he and my mom were driving into colbert when why'd you break the appointment the mechanic was a creep he kept leering at me do men often make you feel uncomfortable some look two things have gone wrong in my life and they're both my fault i admit it well two things your parents deaths and and somebody grabbed me off the street when i was four i was away two years why would that be your fault i was forbidden to go in the front yard alone but i did i see well what do you remember from the times you were away nothing well you remember things from before before you must remember something most people remember a great deal of their phone maybe the first day of school or something [Music] believe leave the kid alone she's been through enough who are you kate how long have you been with laurie since she was four then what can you tell me about the knife dream if you make her talk about that the dream will come true and i will not stand by and let you kill her have you ever noticed any significant moments where lori can't remember where she's been or what she's done uh lots there was one last night she said that she was staying in to work on a paper and a roommate said she went out and this morning she claimed that she was home and that happens often she's very protective about her privacy more than you might imagine your sister's manifesting a condition called dissociative identity disorder d.i.d for short it means she has multiple personalities what there's nothing to be afraid of in fact it's quite remarkable uh a child powerless against abuse often creates other personalities or alters to help survive the trauma as a defense mechanism exactly the alters help the child say this isn't happening to me it's happening to someone else and this has happened since she was abducted more or less i've only met one so far but there may be others they're her way of dealing with pain and the pain of your parents deaths most likely brought them back will she need clinical help maybe but right now i need your help anything the greatest danger in treating d.i.d will be laurie's fear of losing the protective wall she's built we need to watch for any signs that she might harm herself oh my god and i'll be there for both of you every step sir but this has to be done otherwise lori won't ever be well hi hello stranger [Music] how's life in the big city [Music] traffic from that was murder hmm why can't you get 10 year old columbia well i keep hearing they have travel agencies in new jersey too not ones with anne webster's millionaire clients it's true how is he abroad i'm happy by the day but in one month business gets transferred to me and you can get a job in the city okay thanks here another letter from leona what is it now another author for undying love earth breath remembrance of your last wrist breathy remembrance fool it's kind of juicy we should try this pain in my heart why aren't you taking this seriously because they're obviously just fantasies why haven't you been to the dean about it because they're from some student who has some personal issues that can ruin your career and her life what about our live son karen i'm not gonna turn some poor misguided girl who writes bad porn over to administration while i've retired and feathered as soon as i find out who this leona is i'll do what i can to get her some help okay we're up on you know you only make matters worse sometimes i think you like this kind of attention what i heard this campus gossip female students calling you sexy allen flirting with you okay sometimes i think this secret admirer is only a secret for me don't be ridiculous no no listen this you can't leave it like this if you don't want to do it for your career do it for us i mean ellen i'm not gonna put up with this anymore okay okay that's not it why can't i get this right maybe you're not smart enough enough that shrink's confusing you you you shouldn't see him anymore you're trying too hard honey sexy allen already likes you you don't need to impress him hey mark who's my miserable heartless senior prosecutor still miserable and heartless so how's the mace case shaping up ah slow but sure do we set a trial date a week from thursday what you want to hand it off to durant no i'll be ready sarah you've got a lot on your plane i can handle it mark nobody else knows his case like i do i'll convict this guy okay if you need anything just ask hi have you had a chance to read over my paper on emily dickinson yet i hope i'm not interrupting anything not at all professor west and i were just finishing up could you bring those back when you finish those assessments very of course have a seat come see i'm sorry it was so late nonsense it was very well written although you've changed your mind about old m since last term i have before you used to feel her genius came from her being a recluse now apparently you feel she should have had an affair with her mentor her mentor charles wadsworth oh i i guess i just thought she should have a physical outlet for her emotions instead of being afraid of them very astute always amazed at your ability to think in several directions at once ah lori did you write this margin note yeah um i can print you up a clean copy no no no laureen we need to talk karen i took the afternoon off if i wanted to surprise you looks like i did no no no lori can mount uh my wife karen hi nice to meet you laurie and i we're just uh no um it's all right i should get going thanks laurie she's the one you weren't home when i called you last night you weren't home when i called you this morning i had a faculty dinner and a early class do you need to check my calendar no look i want to know what's going on between you and leona [Music] can we talk about this later i just love this staircase and here we are back where we started is there anything else that you'd like to look out again all of it no no it's perfect i have a million ideas about redecorating and isn't that just how you always know that something's perfect oh shoot um i have to take this would you just excuse me for a minute thanks betsy lincoln mount residence [Music] so are we thinking of making an offer i'm sure that i could persuade sarah to consider lowering the price oh we're not haggling over the cost we're not the girls have been through the mill billy is willing to pay them what they want well what part of heaven did you fall from let's go back to the i don't office what to say to her you have to let the dean see this karen even if he believes i haven't encouraged this it'll change the way the faculty looks at me either way it'll be devastating to her that's not your problem yes it is why she's very sensitive she just lost her parents and i promised her sister i'd look after her what about me what about us [Music] [Music] hello lori it's me i got a call today from greg bennett he called to offer you his condolences he wants to see you well i don't want to see him don't give him my number he just wants no look don't let him fool you he's not the nice guy everybody thinks he is okay i'm sorry i didn't mean to upset you oh i know this is odd but you know where the carving knife in mom's kitchen went no you know i never go near those things i hate knives okay it's just weird i can't find it anywhere look i've got more important things to think about than some stupid knife okay are you okay i'm just busy anything else uh yeah actually there is dr darling needs you to call about shifting an appointment sarah do i have to keep seeing him why can't you all just leave me alone lori he's helping you i know he is please stick with it for me all right look sorry to blow about that stupid knife i'm just tired okay okay sleep tight yeah billy are you sure this is a good idea i don't want people to suspect i took that knife that's the least of our problems lee may have given herself to another man opal billy you're not big anymore and i'm not opal and lori is not lee put her out of your mind scene in scene magazine called today hiding the scams we pulled before this one will be hard enough we don't need any more problems we don't have problems opal all we have now are opportunities did you get a chance to read the data i gave you on dissociative disorders anything you didn't understand um no but it's kind of creepy i don't think with that way we've all gone for a drive drifted off missed some of the journey that's all dissociation really is only i have people fill in for me exactly um why don't we talk about some of the things that uh that came up last time do you know anyone named kate uh catherine's my middle name uh when i was a little kid and i want to be grown up i called myself kate what else stands out from your childhood um i love to read summer at the beach cheerleading in high school do you have a boyfriend hmm nobody's serious well one greg bennett when was this last year we're not together anymore um he was too demanding look i don't want to talk about him okay it was unpleasant would unpleasant be a word you'd use to describe the knife dream i should have known we get back to that did sarah call you about the missing knife no is there a reason you relate your dream to this missing knife well they're both carving knives sarah probably thinks i'm planning to kill myself why would you think that i don't know she's always watching me trying to see if i'm about to flip out or something why would she think that how do i know like why do i have to answer all of these questions because we're trying to find out why you have these nightmares i told you everything i know i don't think you have you're doing it again aren't you kate thank you for looking after lori but i'm not gonna harm her oh aren't you sweet [Music] laurie you okay i've got a headache okay well that's all for today we don't need to do any more [Music] [Music] [Music] he's wearing me out sometimes i think he's making me lose my mind hello sarah it's me how is she uh pretty upset what happened how can a severed chicken head end up in your office uh i'm not certain i have a a difficult patient who was part of a cult this is the sort of thing he'd do well i hope you can never slaughter it won't happen again she's insisting she's not going back i understand but the fear she's describing means we're getting somewhere now we just have to find out why this event had so much meaning i hate to push her look i know how hard this is for you but she's not gonna get any better unless she deals with her problems herself well what am i supposed to do just be supportive just what you've been doing that's what she needs right now hi hi my name is greg bennett i'm looking for lori kim mine i'm sorry she got called in for a meeting with professor grant i'll come back later thanks anytime professor graham lori thank you for coming please have a seat i hope nothing's wrong now please leave the door open laurie it's uh not uncommon for a student to develop an attraction to a faculty member especially if she's in need of compassion kindness and it's not unusual that that relationship can be misinterpreted what are you talking about laurie i understand the need for fantasy i couldn't teach literature if i didn't and i also understand how a fantasy can become real to someone you think i wrote these they're in your handwriting [Music] lori uh i know you've you've just lost your parents and you've been lonely i did not write these papers the they're sick and disgusting i'd never write this i have no intention of making these public that's why i wanted to what did what to humiliate me maybe you're the sick one get the pretty girl alone in your office and see if she gets hot reading filled like this please keep your voice down why do you like it better if people whisper this kind of garbage is that what turns you on you sick that's it stop right there how could you think for one minute that i would find you attractive that i would want to sleep you've only got one thing on your mind hell is wrong with you that's it i'm dropping you from my glasses until you get some help you do what you like i never want to see you again you disgusting you'll regret this as god is my witness you'll regret this lori all right let's move along here there's nothing more to see so sweet professor grant oh nobody nicknamed him sexy allen he earned it i can tell did you hear about him and lori kenmon no they had a big lover's quarrel over in the english department no way it's true she wrote a bunch of steamy letters i'll bet he had to make a preemptive strike to make sure his wife didn't get upset well if he wants to give me a try i will certainly certainly give his wife something to be upset about [Music] i was trying to handle it as discreetly as i could no it's not your fault alan i should have told you what she was dealing with i guess i was trying to be discreet too could you send those letters to dr donnelly hmm i'll mail them in the morning does he know about this leona character i'm not sure but anything you could send him would help never seen her so angry uh when you see her can you tell her i didn't mean to embarrass her oh don't worry i'm sure she'll understand anything else no no i have to call my wife and tell her she was right this isn't my day is it good luck thanks hey where is she greg get out of here i told you i never want to see you again [Music] why because your other boyfriend you are not my boyfriend and what's going on with this professor nothing no just stop it get out of my room no this has gone on long enough you're gonna tell me what's going on and if he touched you i swear get out of my room get out get out you better leave her i'm calling the police get out get out [Music] [Music] [Applause] there you are huh we should get going this is jermaine's flight it arrives soon doesn't take more than 40 minutes to go to kennedy at this hour well we may need to uh arrange a wheelchair she's not well you know and i thought of it well i

grant's been murdered and the police think i did it what where are you i'm at the state police station sarah please come and get me sarah don't say anything until i get there i just got a call from the state police they've arrested lori i know i'm on my way the only one that'll allow her to see is her lawyer well then i guess that makes me her lawyer you can't you're a county prosecutor not anymore i'm on leave [Music] and website she's away from her desk at the moment may i help oh my god uh yes i'll i'll i'll get it right away [Music] we don't have that kind of money don't worry about it i'll get you out in a few [Music] hours [Music] oh [Music] your sister's waiting [Music] oh it'll be okay it'll be okay where's laurie upstairs she's resting dr justin donnelly this is brendan moody i don't know if the two of you have crossed paths at the prosecutor's office never had the pleasure heard a lot about you though doc brenda's in our investigations office he's gonna help us well i never seen sarah lose so uh i didn't want to be on the wrong side well that's great because we're gonna need all the help we can get if you uh read the police reports i watched them type it up it sure doesn't look good lori threatened the victim time of death was around midnight nobody can account for whereabouts during that time knife's the one gone missing from the kitchen allen's blood was on it and it was on her clothing and on her bracelet i don't remember laurie owning a bracelet like that well she probably won't recognize it either neither it nor the dress she was wearing match her belongings it was probably purchased by leona your other personalities have that much control lori's only hope may be convincing a jury that an alter committed the crime and that's a dangerous argument even if she's found innocent she still might end up in an institution then we're gonna have to dig up some other evidence the papers are full of that fatal attraction angle painting lori is the jilted lover but they're ignoring our professor's situation which is his wife was never at home and on wages sexy alan came by his moniker fair and square lori may not have been the only one who was involved with this romeo i'm going to spend a couple of days around the college at burying allen tomorrow i'll be there in my experience the killer usually drops by to make sure the victim is really dead i'll see you later thanks laurie come in don't are you sleeping no i was just thinking about things i always like this time of day it's always quiet not filled with all those things you think about in the daylight what were you thinking alan how we came to mom and dad's funeral but i can't go to his i feel so sorry for him he was really good to me i can't believe i did this it wasn't lore it was some part of me dr donnelly says that i'm not supposed to be afraid of them that they're just other versions of me but i don't know how i could be so evil and angry and not know it he was so kind sarah he made me feel really smart and special i didn't mean to hurt him i didn't [Music] which what does a college professor make these days [Music] hours half gone laura you've probably said a word you have anything you want to tell me okay there's something else i'd like to try if you're willing hypnosis you see right now the alters decide who will visit and when and i'd like that to be my call and having you hypnotized would let us go deeper you willing to give it a try is it gonna feel weird all you have to do is fall asleep [Music] [Music] just relax laura do you feel comfortable i guess i haven't met you yet have i no [Music] you want to tell me your name debbie i'm four [Music] how are you feeling today debbie [Music] sad i'm always sad he's sad why because i'm always doing bad things what sort of bad things do you do not supposed to tell you talk to your friends about it i only have one friend and she can't talk she can't talk why can't she talk she's a chicken she's a chicken [Music] well tell me about your yard and your house it's a farmhouse well who lives there with you i can't tell yes you can you trust me look at me you trust me then you can tell me who lives in the house with you is holding the knife debbie mrs grant my name is rylan moody i just wanted to offer my condolences to you i'm working your husband's case and uh i know that this is not the time of place but i'd like to talk to you about what happened i told the police everything i know yeah i know i i i read the reports um i'm investigating on behalf of the defendant i know i know this is difficult she she took my husband's life mr moody i don't think i know she just doesn't remember a thing about what happened i mean she's sick and i'm trying to help a jury understand that so she can get off scot-free is that it so we can prevent this tragedy from hurting more people than it already has a lot of people said a lot of nice things about your husband this afternoon and i know that he was trying to help laurie and out of respect for his memory you know i'm gonna do the same yeah you can come to the house thank you you sure you feel okay yeah i feel a little weak what's this that's a journal i want you to start writing down your thoughts no matter how trivial they might seem what about the others well if they've got something to say they'll make entries too just relax see what ideas or memories come to you there's no right or wrong to this and i think it'll help okay okay i'll see you tomorrow bye billy aren't you supposed to be looking at pictures of us from our early days for scene and scene magazine she was such a lovely child billy they should have been burned like the others no no no these are precious this one was taken when she made the cheerleader squad and and and here is the graduation photo they need to be burned that doctor's digging around in her head no one should find them you worry too much lee won't betray us she knows we're watching she got our message maybe we need to send her another message how long had alan been receiving these letters from uh leona a few months old they were patently ridiculous she was talking about nights where elle and i had been together i'm describing things and you just weren't out did you think there was any truth in which he was right no no i didn't i just wish he would have turned them over to the dean why didn't he i told him he was just too good-hearted he was a friend of her family and um you just couldn't bear to hurt her brought you some tea before i go back to the city and uh the mail came lots of cards thank you now you sure i can't do anything else before i go it's all right okay i'll get going there nice to meet you mr moody likewise and karen we'll cover for you until you feel like to come out i'll come in tomorrow thanks thank you i can't stay here it uh must have been tough being away so much why didn't you uh find a job closer to home when mrs webster was retiring i was taking over the business and al and i would have finally been financially set when did you last talk to him at 10 30. he was upset about lori did he call you at your apartment no we were at the airport and because anne and i went to kennedy to pick up a client and the plane was late and we only came home after midnight and i wanted to call but i didn't something wrong it's a letter from leona she's threatening to kill me [Music] now sarah i need you to sign these on every page and then i want you to initial where you see an x good and thank you for agreeing not to take possession until the trial's over is it okay for us to drop by i want to give the decorators what they need but no no not a problem what about lori oh we'll manage thank you and there we are uh mr mrs hawkins welcome to

now yes we've been post enough save the champagne for the day we finally throw these quarters out [Music] so hello sir it's mark levine hey mark what's up karen grant just got a threatening letter from leona the handwriting is identical to the others oh no it's a clear violation of lori's bail and mrs grant is on the war path i have no choice but to return lori to custody [Music] lori i need to speak with debbie why'd the picture scare you debbie i can't tell you debbie why can't you tell me why not debbie no no no more secrets debbie no more secrets we need to know and we need to know now just burn the damn photograph it's dangerous why is it dangerous kate you know where it was taken we all know and we're not talking every word brings the knife a little closer [Music] debbie's exactly like she was at four years old and the other one kate is a close impersonation of my mother kate's the protector she's based on the adult who protected laurie most at that age justin i need to know more about this a trial date gets closer every day and we still haven't found anything that might cast a doubt on the police version of what happened have you heard anything from moody oh he's still nosing around the campus but believe me if he found anything he'd be shedding it from the rooftops i need to be on the session sarah if i'm gonna save her i need to know exactly how her alters operate i want to be on the sessions okay but you may not like what you see everybody knew sexy allen had to be seeing someone i always saw him sneaking around the campus late at night he was seeing someone you think it could have been laurie one time i was teasing her about not having a boyfriend she said there was someone who she wouldn't tell then i asked when she dated him because she never went out on weekends she said what's the point he's busy on weekends [Music] hi hi i heard laurie was in jail i i just think it'd be safe to come over great cat nobody's telling me anything sarah you know i'm so worried about her i want to help i can't stand by and watch this happen come on in thanks i never felt closer to anyone you know i could have sworn she felt the same way you guys made a great couple my parents were hoping to be grandparents yeah went from being that close what happened between you two one morning she just came over and she started screaming that she never wanted to see me again drama to see if she'll let you visit her i love that but i don't want to cause her any more pain i know i understand but let me run it by justin he's convinced if she discovers what triggers her anger and fear it'll cure her and maybe that's the way you can help her most i see kate and leona have seen fit to write me some notes yeah i don't think they like you very much i'm sorry i don't apologize the better we both get to know them the easier it'll be to find out everything they know i don't know what that is i must have been doodling from debbie she can't read her right yet so she's drawing us pictures what do they mean let's ask her [Music] can you hear me lori i want to talk with leona first i was wondering when you'd finally want to see me worth the wait oh yes got a cigarette no no i'm sorry i don't smoke i hope that's the only thing you don't do um tell me about alan leona what uh what kind of relationship did you two have he was the kiss and tell not me but you'd been to his house uh-huh i went over any time i wanted there was a terrace door he always left unlocked he was so lonely he didn't deserve the way karen treated him i would have been so much better for him would have been you weren't sleeping with him i told you i don't kiss and tell right um tell me about the night allen died i don't want to talk about that either okay then can you tell me how you felt when you knew he was dead look i'm sorry i had the knife i was so angry at him i shouldn't have brought it along but i did i don't want to talk i want to talk with debbie i got your uh pictures debbie you want to tell me what they are um that one is a little girl and a man singing and rocking in a rocking chair walking in a rocking chair that sounds like fun what are they singing [Music] [Music] it's time to go upstairs [Music] i hope you got enough room for another patient doc cause this case is starting to drive me nuts we haven't found anything no there's enough smoke to suggest that uh grant was lighting somebody's fire but i can't figure out who well it may have been lori leona is a very sensual woman she was obsessed with him and having that knife is definitely not a good sign i don't know maybe i should take another run at the professor's wife she's got an air-tight alibi but i still feel that i can get something from it well i spoke with lori about greg earlier this afternoon she's agreed to see him that's good i'm convinced that whatever happened between them is somehow related to whoever abused her if she can trust him again she may open up one problem solves the other exactly tell me something you think any of this other stuff is related what do you mean i don't know chicken head seems a long way out of its turf life goes missing well before lori and lover boy have to blow up chicken picture i don't know it all seems to me like somebody's trying to shake her up who why hey i'm just a cop you're a college boy look all i'm saying is it's a little out of the ordinary yeah well we better come up with something fast right now the only responsible option i have is pleading her guilty my reason of insanity okay lori i just want you to relax and go with whatever you feel sarah and i are right here with you it's early on a saturday morning and you've just gone to greg's house i'm wearing a dress blueberry all right my favorite but i got them make you an extra badge you're amazing sure look i gotta go okay call me bad okay hey thanks [Music] [Applause] [Music] what happened when he grabbed you debbie what happened when you were grabbed [Music] whenever he grabbed me i floated away 48 all right 48. yeah we can't tell you how much we appreciate this our architect is finalizing the renovation drawings right now yes he wouldn't come himself but we didn't want to disturb by strangers 33 33 uh we're not uh keeping you from anything are we no i'm expecting a phone call lori's being examined by a court psychiatrist and if he approves her bail will be reinstated wouldn't that be wonderful carla that's wonderful good news i've released lori into my custody oh thank god there is nothing we've wanted more than to see dear little lee come home laurie dear not me oh now i know i've been working too hard some days i i don't remember my own name i've already told the police everything i know well i'm just trying to get some background find out what kind of man who professor grant was he was wonderful did you uh did you work together yes alan nominated me for the faculty and helped me get the job we became good friends professional friends how much uh how much did you know uh about his home life only that he didn't have one karen came home most weekends but she uh didn't get involved in his life here well she indicated they had an understanding and all that all i know is that he was very lonely how close was your friendship he uh used to come by my place quite often to um talk or simply to be with someone you know i've been hearing a lot of rumors do you think he could have been involved with one of his students perhaps laurie kinman allen would never do that he had too much integrity miss west there had to be something to the sexy island reputation the guy doesn't have half the student body drooling over him for no reason i mean you have to be involved with somebody you didn't know him he wasn't like that how can you be sure that he wasn't sleeping with lori kinmout [Music] because he was sleeping with me [Music] according to miss west allen's call to karen wasn't to talk about laurie it just ask for divorce i don't know if that will make much difference that leona alters admits she was in allen's den with the knife i don't know cheryl maybe it's just a crappy cafeteria for what i'm eating but my gut's telling me there's something more to this yo where do we go from here well i'm looking over the campus police records for the night of the murder no calls on prowlers break-ins anything suspicious hopefully something will turn up get yourself some rest all right leona i want to know what happened in allen's den i've already told you i was there no i need to know exactly what happened from the moment you walk through the terrace door he'd fallen asleep on the couch as usual and the door was open i set my bag down what were you thinking what were you thinking i was thinking about how lonely he looked i know i just like to feel lonely what else i thought of all the times that i wouldn't let daddy hold me after i came home [Music] i just i i sat down and i cried what happened next i i i laughed i heard someone coming and i got scared leona tell me about the picture that scared debbie yeah yeah when she was away it was taken after she was abducted leona who took it [Music] leona who took it the one who took her she's sleeping there is no way that photograph would have been in a room all these years i mean if it scared her kate would have gotten rented a long time ago after the accident we searched all over for documents the insurance people needed could have fallen from one of the boxes has anyone been in the house since dozens of people the house has been up for sale for weeks can you get her to remember who took that picture that face is a lot deeper than what happened to her campus police picked you up for problem i'm no prowler i've been out with some friends and it was way past team curfew i was just trying to get home without anybody seeing me that kidmount girl was going to be my alibi until i saw the morning papers laurie quinma yeah she's not mentioning

wasn't carrying her purse wait here so i waited who wouldn't she was looking at me [Music] waited how long a while just about to give up when she came out running full tilt hugging her purse she had blood on her then she left a knife behind with enough time for somebody else to use it yeah but she was still there sarah blood or no blood but the dots aren't connecting there is something else going on here [Applause] oh hello uh i'm afraid karen isn't here it's you i want aha have a seat tell me what you and karen did the night allen died well we uh went to kennedy to uh pick up an elderly

an attorney you have the right what's going on here is this your signature yeah it's from from the gas station we go there all the time it's a block away from our house or is this supposed to be significant it's dated around the time that alan that's died professor vero s is willing to testify that alan asked you for a divorce on the night that he died it's ridiculous his voice is on her answering machine just that [Music] we found this bracelet in lori kenmon's bedroom [Music] are you sure [Music] this appraisal from the jewelry store next to your office indicates that it was sold to

fears kind of die hard sun's come out what do you say we go for a walk we'll work up an appetite before our last dinner at the house okay you guys go ahead i got a couple of calls to make okay [Music] it was a date just like this when i left you you didn't leave somebody took you from me no i wasn't supposed to be out front you know no matter what you or justin say if i'd have listened to you it wouldn't have happened if somebody grabbed one of those little girls and they wanted to hurt her would that be our fault then forgive yourself like you'd forgive her i didn't know what to do sarah he put me in his car i was crying and the lady when them slapped me then he grabbed me and he hurt [Music] me [Applause] [Music] when i cried don't make any noise lee he'll use the knife the names were big and opel and they called you lee there is nothing we've wanted more than to say dear little lady oh my god [Music] it's okay [Music] [Music] did my altars know all this and keep it from me yes and now that you've remembered they'll begin to blend into you because they've been parts of who i really am all along yes debbie is the child you used to be kate is your sense of self-preservation leona is the self you suppressed because of what happened i'm a sex kitten and what about lee lee was the key he was the imaginary friend who floated you away from the pain he helped you endure until the others could assume their roles he's got every cop in the area on the case and moody wants just not to go to the command center now are you sure you'll be okay i'm okay with this sarah don't worry so uh [Music] [Music] [Music] uh what are you doing here you forgot your promise didn't you make sure we are not disturbed [Music] time to go upstairs i'm sorry but you knew this would happen if you talked you thought i'd left you behind huh no i never forgot you you were such a dear [Music] i felt your evil presence in the church [Music] that's why i fainted but i am not afraid of you anymore now it's your turn to feel trapped [Music] it's over the step it's over [Music] yep moody's quite a guy stops for coffee sees the picture of bick and opal and puts two and two together yeah we are quite a guy yourself it wasn't for you we wouldn't know their names well i think we owe it all to her it took a lot of courage for her to agree to be bait i can't remember the last time she was this happy well she's with someone she loves i hear it uh it does that too so will her alters come back not likely she doesn't need their protection anymore are there any signs i should look for i think
