Synopsis: Crime novelist Catherine Tramell is living in London, and becomes the center of police investigation (yet again) when her football player boyfriend drowns in a car accident and it is revealed that he was already dead because of a drug overdose before Tramell drove the car into water. Police psychoanalyst Dr. Michael Glass is called for examining Tramell, and is intrigued by the seductive and manipulative woman. On the other hand , his friend Det. Roy Washburn is sure Tramell is guilty. Tramell asks Glass to treat her for her 'risk addiction' problem, and with each therapy session , Glass gets more and more suspicious about her intentions. As more and more murders are committed, including that of Glass's ex-wife, Glass becomes obsessed with proving Tramell's guilt even though the evidence is contradictory .

By the way, I hear you were

brilliant in there.

You're so lucid sometimes,

it's just disgusting.

You thought about daytime television?

Denise always says you were born

for the small screen.

And how is my wife these days?

Having fun?

Ex-wife, Michael. Ex-wife.

While we're chatting about killers...

...is there any chance of talking about

George Cheslav?

Who told you about Cheslav?

Denise?

That's got to be any shrink's worst

nightmare.

A patient in your care

suddenly runs amok...

...beats his girlfriend to death

with a brick.

That was seven years ago,

why talk about it now?

Not quite seven, actually.

Seven in July.

But you talked to him twice a week.

He never indicated he'd harm the girl?

I don't talk about my patients.

Cheslav's dead. Can't you talk

about them when they're dead?

No, not even when they're dead.

Michael, what are you doing here?

What did you tell Adam Towers

about George Cheslav?

Nothing.

Can you give us a minute?

He already knew.

Really? Because he said you told him.

No, all I said was...

If he writes about that, if he puts it

on his magazine cover...

He won't. You're just being paranoid.

You didn't do anything wrong.

Right. I didn't. I was treating a patient

that killed his pregnant girlfriend.

End of story.

You make sure he gets that.

Don't worry.

I'm up for the Douglas Chair

at the university.

You know what that means to me.

Do you think this is going to help?

I can't tell Adam what to write.

Why not?

Don't be stupid.

I think you're entitled to since you've

been f***ing him for over a year.

Do you think I didn't know

when it started?

It's a pity you never asked yourself

why it started.

How was the court case

with the mystery writer?

I hear she looks fabulous.

Also very intelligent.

Pathological liar. Narcissistic.

Seductive, manipulative.

Do you think she killed the footballer?

I have no idea.

Everything she does is so perfectly

composed.

It's designed to confuse

or confound you.

You never know what's truth

and what isn't. She's brilliant, really.

The masked psychotic. Your favorite.

I'm already working it into a paper:

"Risk Addiction and Omnipotence."

You're writing another already?

I'm writing two,

but this is the more interesting.

I'll catch you up.

Hello?

Glass? It's Roy Washburn.

Are you near a television set?

If you'll be quiet, I'll make a

statement.

What happened?

The judge let her go.

Let her go? Why?

The guy who said

he sold her the D TC...

... the judge found out he'd perjured

himself in another case...

... and disqualified him as a witness.

But I'll make you a bet.

What's that?

She'll do it again.

And soon.
