wrong and she gets loose.

What about the little girl? Did he tell

you why he was frightened of her?

Uh-uh.

He gave me the dream,

that's all.

I can only think that she's some sort of

displacement for the mother or the sister.

Oh, no, no, no, no,

not at all!

We're probably dealing with

a woman who on the surface

seems childlike

and innocent

but underneath is capable

of extreme violence.

Sam, I still think you

should go to the police.

With what? What kind

of evidence do I have?

A green box and a little girl

who's mean to her teddy bear.

Come on, Grace,

you know better than that!

Well, if you're not

going to the police,

why are you getting

mixed up in this?

I told you before.

I spent almost two years,

two hours a week, talking to this man.

I want to find out

why he was killed.

Sam, you're not equipped to

deal with this sort of thing.

If you don't look out, you're going to put

yourself in a very dangerous position.

Go to the police!

Please.

I'll think about it.

Sam!

Mom,

do you remember when I wanted

to quit school and play pro ball?

When I got that offer from

that Class A team in Knoxville?

I called you up and I told

you what I wanted to do

and you got on the first

train to New Haven?

- If you had really wanted to quit...

- I wouldn't have called you. Okay.

And you sat with me for six hours

and you let me talk myself out of it.

You were right,

but I'm not sorry.

I mean,

I'm a much better shrink

than I ever would have

been a second baseman.

But I closed some kind

of a door that day.

And I've been closing

them ever since.

What I'm doing now may be...

May be irrational.

Maybe it is foolish.

But I gotta do it.

Oh, Sam!

Who's there?

Brooke?

All right, you son of a b*tch!

Give me all your money.

All right, okay.

I've got about

50 or 60 here.

I'll take that, man!

Now look, I...

I know this sounds a little crazy,

but I'd like to ask you a favor.

My wallet.

You want my wallet,

don't you?

Master Charge, Visa,

American Express? Huh?

Hey, look, man!

If you try something

with me...

Oh, no!

No!

I just want you to stay

here and watch me

and make sure I get

out of the park okay.

Okay?

Your coat.

What?

I want your coat.

Give me your coat.

You got it!

Now, I ain't going

to tell you again.

You get your ass

out of here!

All right.

Thanks a lot!

Personal effects will

be returned to you

as soon as forensics is through with them.

About your coat, tough luck!

Now, uh, would you mind telling me

just what you were doing here?

I was having a problem

with a patient.

Decided to go for a walk

and, uh, think things out.

In Central Park?

You took a walk?

Well, I went a little
