who have unreal expectations.

People who think that plastic surgery...

...is gonna make them wittier

or save their marriage...

...afterwards find things aren't that

different and they can become depressed.

But suicide? No.

- Could I see their records, please?

- Yeah, sure.

Ellen, pull charts on Lisa Convey

and Susan Wilson.

I've been looking for those charts

for Lieutenant Masters.

They're not in the files.

I looked and so did Jan.

Well, keep looking.

Must be misplaced.

Do things often get misplaced?

No, not often.

I agree with you, Dr. Roberts.

I don't think these two girls

killed themselves.

They just don't fit a suicide pattern.

No notes, no phone calls,

no depression. No drugs.

Most L.A. Girls OD on drugs.

But those girls were destroyed

beyond recognition.

You think it was murder?

We're considering that possibility, yes.

That's why I'm here.

What are you saying, lieutenant?

Women fall in love

with their doctors, Dr. Roberts.

Especially doctors who give them

a new face.

Yes, that is quite common.

Men give you presents.

Watches or stock certificates.

Women fall in love,

their own sort of present.

- Do you date your patients, doctor?

- No.

- Never gone out with either of these girls?

- Never.

Never visited their apartments

on a social occasion?

- No, never.

- You sure about that?

Quite sure.

Well, that's all I have for now,

Dr. Roberts.

Thank you.

- Is this yours?

- Oh, yeah.

It's been missing about a week.

So things do get misplaced

in your office.

- Let me know when those files turn up.

- Of course.

Thanks again.

Yes, of course, I realized that.

Have you found those missing files?

No, not yet.

And there are four files missing.

All four girls you did exact surgery on

a few months ago.

- Why should they be missing?

- I don't know.

Lisa, Susan, Tina and Cindy.

I've been trying to call them

to redo their files...

...but I haven't been able to reach

Lisa and Susan by phone.

Cindy just left

but we've got her new card.

- And Tina's right here.

- Tina?

Can we talk in private?

Change you back? Why, what's wrong?

Because I'm too perfect.

Because they're gonna kill me,

that's why.

Who is?

They're killing all the girls

that are perfect.

Do you think I'm crazy?

Who told you to make these changes?

Dr. Roberts, it's the office of Senator...

Later. Hold all calls.

Senator Harrison. That's who that was.

He's running for president...

...and you're helping him.

Tina, what are you talking about?

Here. Here, here, here.

I'm on the 9:
00 flight to Chicago...

...to see my family.

And I want someone in Chicago

to put me back the way I was.

- That's all.

- Why?

You don't know what's going on.
