Basic Instinct 2 Page #3

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 .

Only this time

I will f***ing nail the b*tch.

So we've been considering those who

wish to control others...

...through their insecurity and their

narcissism.

To study Nietzsche

psychobiographically may seem naive.

Wasn't it Nietzsche's work itself,

which...

...through deconstructive and

post-structuralist readings...

...induced the death of

psychobiography?

Paul Portman said he might go

to Tavistock. I'm thinking I might go.

Just be patient.

Stay where you are for about a year.

- But there's nothing holding me.

- Trust me.

You know Dr. Gerst?

Michael Glass.

It's a pleasure.

I saw your review of my book.

You didn't understand what I was

saying about the analytic field.

Towards the end you made one or two

interesting remarks.

Maybe one of these days

we can discuss it.

I'd be honored. Thank you very much.

"One or two interesting remarks"?

That was a compliment, Michelle.

Dr. Gerst was very impressed.

And it appears that our Michael

has just been knighted.

Cheers.

Congratulations.

- Can I ask you a question?

- Sure.

Every day I see you writing and I am

thinking, "What is he writing about?"

Is it a novel?

No, but there was a novelist in it.

Really? Who?

I can't tell you that.

Otherwise I'd have to kill you.

Must be someone famous, then.

Excuse me. Dr. Glass?

I'm Peter Ristedes.

Adam Towers' assistant.

Urbane magazine.

Mind if I join you?

Adam asked me to see if you'd give us

a quote for the article he's writing.

I believe he mentioned it to you.

He didn't seem to think

you'd want to talk to him.

I'll take that as a "no comment," then?

Dr. Glass?

Miss Tramell.

What are you doing here?

I wanted to talk to you.

About the evaluation.

Some of the things you said,

I've been thinking about them a lot.

I'm sorry you had to hear all that.

Got a minute?

Come through.

What you said about me

being addicted to risk...

...about having to do more and more

dangerous things...

Well, after you said it...

...I realized I was...

...scared.

What exactly scared you?

For weeks before the accident

I was having the same...

...fantasy over and over again.

I even wrote about it.

The woman's driving in the car,

the man's making her come.

She drives off the road,

the man's killed.

I feel like maybe I made it all happen.

That's why I'm here.

Are you saying you'd like to

go into treatment?

Yeah.

Well, I think that's a very good idea.

I wouldn't be able to treat you, but I'd

be happy to refer you to a colleague.

Why can't you treat me?

It's not advisable for a doctor who's

done a forensic evaluation...

...to then become that person's

therapist.

Why not?

Therapy requires a great deal of trust,
