Synopsis: George Bynum, a patient of Manhattan psychiatrist Dr. Sam Rice, is brutally murdered. Soon afterward, Dr. Rice is visited by Bynum's co-worker and mistress Brooke Reynolds and by the investigating officer Detective Vitucci. As Dr. Rice reviews the case notes on his sessions with Bynum, he starts his own investigation. At the same time, he finds himself falling for enigmatic blonde Brooke, despite her increasingly suspicious behavior. The closer Rice comes to the truth, the more he puts his own life in danger...

sorted out eventually.

Sorry.

Where does all this

stuff come from?

Estates, galleries,

private collections.

Actually, most of it comes

from just ordinary people.

Now, once things get to Crispin's,

after they're receipted,

they're all sent to their

proper department.

Sculpture to the

sculpture department,

and prints to the

print department,

et cetera, et cetera,

et cetera.

And then about a week

before the auction

everything is sent downstairs

into the exhibition rooms

and the night before

it's all put backstage

and finally,

on the day of the sale

it's put up for auction,

and hopefully sold.

That's the end of the speech,

the end of the tour, the police.

Ah.

Thank you very much.

I appreciate your coming over.

I know you're a busy man.

I'll try not to keep you too long.

No problem.

Miss Wilson, yeah, please

come in now, okay? Thanks.

Yesterday when

we were talking,

you said that the deceased came

to see you twice a week, right?

Mmm-hmm.

According to this, Bynum was

seeing you five times a week.

That's impossible.

Miss Wilson, how often did Mr. Bynum

have an appointment with his psychiatrist?

Five times a week.

Are you sure?

Of course I'm sure.

If that's all, I have

a lot of work to do.

Fine. Thanks, Miss Wilson.

Please close the door.

We found out that Bynum

was fooling around with

at least one of

the women here.

And I think he was

using you as the cover.

Oh, and you're going

to ask me who that is?

And you're going to tell me

that's confidential information.

Mmm-hmm.

Since yesterday I found

out a couple more things.

First, we're pretty sure

Bynum was killed by a woman.

Second, since his wife was in Florida

at that time, we know it wasn't her.

And third, the guys at forensic

came up with a sort of

a psychological portrait

of the killer,

and they think

she'll try it again.

Doctor, I get the feeling you know

a lot more than you're telling me.

- Wait a minute, wait a minute...

- I don't know what you're trying to hide.

George Bynum was a patient

of mine for almost two years

and I'm just as much concerned about

what happened to him as you are.

Dr. Rice.

I don't know what they can do to a

psychiatrist who withholds information,

but I can promise you

this for a fact,

you're going to end

up in a lot of trouble

if you don't get

yourself killed first.

Thank you for coming over.

Oh!

- Yes?

- Mom. Sam.

- Oh. Hi. How are you?

- I'm fine.

Listen, why don't you

and I have dinner tonight?

I thought I'd, uh, order in

some Chinese, and, uh...

All right, Sam,

what's wrong?

Well, as a matter of fact,

I've got a little problem.

What would you

say if I told you
