look like a charlatan.

Hello.

I'm Dr Jessup.

Jessup? You 're Dr Harding's daughter?

Yes, I am. And you 're Adam.

Your husband was murdered, right?

Ooh.

Yes.

How?

His throat was slit by a mugger.

When?

Three years ago.

Where?

When we were walking home from

church on Christmas Eve.

You think that was rude of me?

Not at all.

I'm used to it.

Aggressive role manipulation

is a common avoidance technique

used by borderline personalities

during therapy.

But you knew that, didn't you?

Attagirl.

I have to watch out for your

exploitative pathological tendencies.

Ready to answer some questions?

Shoot.

In your childhood home,

how many windows are there?

One.

One?

Mm-hm.

Actually, two if you count the windshield.

I see.

Were you raised in any religion?

Catholic.

Mm-hm.

OK, Adam, I have a series

of abstract images here.

I'd like you to take a look at them...

Dancers, moth, elephants, the Devil.

I've seen all this stuff before, Doctor.

Yes, you have. Clearly.

OK, Adam.

Do you see any numbers in the circles?

Nope.

And this one?

No.

Great. Great.

What about this one?

The number seven.

OK.

OK, Adam, um...

may I look at your eyes?

Are you wearing contact lenses?

No. This is their natural colour.

Are you colourblind?

Red deficient, since birth.

OK, Adam, I think we're done here.

Thank you very much

for your cooperation.

Can I go now?

You set me up.

No, no. I offered you a chance

to reconsider some of your assumptions.

Adam is the host. David is the alter.

Why didn't you let me

interview Adam first?

Where's the fun in that?

Hello!

Mommy!

Hello!

Hello!

I missed you so much!

Yay!

Hey, Pop.

Hey, Stevo. This is quite a rig.

Mm-hm.

Hah.

Hey, Grandpa.

There's my angel. How you doing?

Go get your stuff, OK?

OK.

I'll help you.

She have fun?

Uh, she was pretty cranky

till that second beer set in.

You staying for dinner?

No.

Sammy's got school in the morning.

Mm-hm.

You OK? I mean, really OK?

Yeah, I'll be OK.

What are you working on?

Oh, I'm just offlining an industrial.

Oh, great.

You have no idea

what I'm talking about, do you?

No.

No.

OK, here we are.

Did you say thank you

to Uncle Stephen, honey?

Thank you, Uncle Stephen.

Sammy, next time

you bring the beers, OK?

OK.

I gotta tell you, I'm loving these

underage drinking jokes.

Thank you.

Just loving them.

Thank you very much.

Mm-hm. 'Bye!

Goodbye. Get off my property.

- 'Bye.

Don't pull all the way up

into the driveway.

Why?

It'll be too tight for me to get out.

You 'll be able to get out.

No, it's...

Yep.

Thanks, Pop. This is perfect.

Hey, honey, get in the bathtub, OK?

And then we'll have dinner.
