Yeah, it's my project, my baby.

I know how you feel.

The desire to make something

you believe in work.

Oh, I believe dinner's ready.

- Did you ever try any TV shows?

- Oh, wonderful being in commercials.

So what exactly

does Reston Industries do?

We're a $6-billion conglomerate,

We're diversified into fast foods,

leisurewear, pharmaceuticals.

We do high-technology

perceptual devices...

...military head-up displays...

...pinball machines

and television commercials.

But I understand you have something to do

with commercials too.

- Who, me?

- Yes, it was on the news tonight.

Something about girls who died

after having plastic surgery.

It was a police report.

It was just a routine inquiry.

I didn't realize my name

would be mentioned.

Well, I hope it doesn't cause you

any trouble.

What was the inquiry about, Dr. Roberts?

It's all a coincidence, really.

I did surgery on several girls

a few months back.

Commercial actresses.

- And there have been some suicides.

- Oh, how awful.

Well, unstable young actresses

trying to make fast money in commercials...

...they find it tougher than they thought,

that's all.

The police can't think

that you had anything to do with it.

Oh, no. No, it's nothing like that.

Well, that's good.

We couldn't get involved

in anything awkward.

No, actually, the girls are all linked...

...with some company

called Digital Matrix.

Digital Matrix?

Well, that sounds rather sinister,

doesn't it, Jennifer?

You see, Jennifer runs Digital Matrix.

- Really?

- Yes.

Digital Matrix does basic research

for Reston Industries.

Well, it's true that D.M.I.

Measured some girls for possible surgery.

We were conducting an experiment

on a new visual technology...

...but we never went forward with it.

I mean, are you sure

that these are the same girls?

I think so.

Digital Matrix does mostly

theoretical research.

I can't believe it.

How many girls have died?

Three.

Must be a coincidence.

Well, that's what it sounds like to me.

Coincidence.

Now, doctor, tell me about your staffing

for your burns unit.

Larry, you've ignored me all evening.

Come meet a friend of mine.

She's very cute so watch yourself,

okay?

- Candy, this is Larry.

- Hi.

- Hello, Candy. Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.

You told him everything.

- I told him nothing.

- But he does suspect.

Dr. Roberts has no idea

what's going on...

...and he's not going to find out anything

before Sunday, is he?

I will not spend the night.

- You will.

- I can't.

I'm working in the morning.

Come on, I have a Hawaiian Tropic

in the morning.

Don't do that.

You're full of surprises.

What next?

You get some sleep.

The bathroom's over there...
