AND NOW, LIVE FROM THE STUDIOS OF WLOR, PHILAPHELPHIA'S NUMBER-ONE TALK-RADIO STATION, IT'S THE DR LIZ SHOW, HEARD EVERY WEEKNIGHT FROM 8 TO 10. HERE'S YOUR HOST, DR LIZ MANNERS. GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE. I'M DR LIZ. WELCOME TO THE SHOW. TONIGHT WE'RE GONNA BE TALKING ABOUT CO-DEPENDENT RELATIONSHIPS, THOSE THAT ARE DESTRUCTIVE, BUT OFTEN DIFFICULT TO LEAVE. SO IF THIS SOUNDS LIKE YOU, PLEASE GIVE ME A CALL. THE PHONE LINES ARE OPEN. INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS THAT ONE. OF COURSE. SO, WHAT IS IT THIS TIME? IT CAN'T BE HER BIRTHDAY ` THAT WAS LAST MONTH. IT'S THE FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE DAY WE MET. (CHUCKLES) THE DAY YOU MET? THAT'S SO SWEET. ACTUALLY, IT'S NOT UNTIL TOMORROW. BUT I CUT MY TRIP SHORT SO I COULD COME BACK EARLY AND SURPRISE HER. IF YOU TRY TO CONTROL HIM, YOU'LL ONLY END UP PUSHING HIM FARTHER AWAY. YEAH, BUT IF IT WASN'T FOR ME, NOTHING WOULD EVER GET DONE AROUND HERE. HE NEEDS ME TO TELL HIM WHAT TO DO. IT'S PERFECT. CAN YOU GIFT-WRAP THIS? CERTAINLY. NANCY, YOU NEED TO GIVE YOUR HUSBAND SOME SPACE TO BE HIS OWN PERSON. I GIVE HIM SPACE. I MEAN, I BARELY EVEN SEE HIM ` HE GETS HOME LATE DURING THE WEEK, HE SPENDS ALL OF HIS TIME WITH HIS FRIENDS. WELL, MAYBE THAT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE DRIVING HIM AWAY. NANCY, I KNOW THIS MIGHT NOT BE EASY TO HEAR, BUT IF YOU WANNA SEE MORE OF YOUR HUSBAND, YOU NEED TO SPEND LESS TIME BOSSING HIM AROUND AND MORE TIME TELLING HIM HOW MUCH YOU APPRECIATE HIM. I'LL GIVE A TRY, THEN. I'M NOT SURE IT'LL WORK. GOOD LUCK, NANCY. I'M DR LIZ MANNERS, AND I'LL BE RIGHT BACK AFTER THE BREAK. DON'T GO AWAY. SORRY FOR KEEPING YOU WAITING, CHRISTINE. IT SHOULDN'T BE TOO MUCH LONGER. (CHUCKLES) CHRISTINE, ARE YOU STILL THERE? YES. PLEASE JUST HOLD ON. YOU'RE THE NEXT CALLER. COME ON. PLEASE.

CHRISTINE, THANK YOU FOR CALLING TONIGHT. HOW ARE THINGS, ANY BETTER? NO. THINGS AREN'T GONNA GET ANY BETTER, DR LIZ. AND BELIEVE ME, I'VE TRIED. HE SAYS HE LOVES ME. AND IN HIS OWN WAY, I KNOW THAT HE DOES. HE DOES THINGS FOR ME. HE BUYS ME THINGS, BUT... BUT WHAT? I DON'T TALK TO ANYBODY ANY MORE. HE SLOWLY DROVE EVERYONE OUT OF MY LIFE. HE TOOK AWAY MY MONEY, MY CREDIT CARDS. LAST WEEK HE EVEN SOLD MY CAR. I DON'T EVEN CARE, BECAUSE I'VE NOWHERE TO GO. IF HE KNEW I WAS TALKING TO YOU RIGHT NOW, HE'D KILL ME. CHRISTINE, LISTEN. THIS IS GETTING WORSE AND WORSE. YOU NEED TO GET AWAY FROM HIM. I KNOW, BUT I TRIED TO GET AWAY. I TRIED, AND HE FOUND ME. THERE ARE PLACES THAT YOU CAN GO, SAFE HOUSES WHERE HE WILL NEVER FIND YOU. AND I CAN GIVE YOU THE NUMBER DURING THE BREAK. YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. HE TOLD ME, HE SAID, 'THERE'S NOWHERE ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH YOU CAN HIDE.' YOU HAVE TO GET AWAY FROM HIM. YOUR LIFE COULD BE IN DANGER. DR LIZ, I CAN'T. THIS IS HOW HE CONTROLS YOU. HE'S CONVINCED YOU THAT YOU ARE HELPLESS WITHOUT HIM. I KNOW. I KNOW I'M HELPLESS,... BUT I DON'T WANNA BE ANY MORE. CHRISTINE, YOU CAN GET AWAY FROM HIM TONIGHT AND NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN. WILL YOU LET ME HELP YOU? OK. OK. SARAH JANE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? YOU'RE TALKING TO THAT WOMAN ON THE RADIO, DR LIZ WHATEVER HER NAME IS. CHRISTINE, ARE YOU THERE? WE LOST HER. OK.

NOW, SHE TOLD YOU THAT HAD SHE CALLED THE PARAMEDICS RIGHT AWAY, SHE THINKS HER HUSBAND MIGHT HAVE LIVED, YET YOU DECIDED NOT TO GO TO THE POLICE WITH THIS INFORMATION. DR MANNERS, SHE TOLD YOU EVERYTHING, THAT THEY HAD BEEN FIGHTING AND SHE MAY HAVE PUSHED HIM, THAT HE FELL DOWN THE STAIRS, BUT WAS STILL ALIVE. YOU KNEW THAT SHE WAITED UNTIL HE DIED BEFORE PICKING UP THE PHONE TO CALL 911. THERESA FRANKEL HAD BEEN VICTIMISED BY HER HUSBAND IN WAYS YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW. SHE LET HIM DIE. AND IF YOU HAD TESTIFIED IN COURT, THERE'S NO WAY SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN ACQUITTED. SO BASICALLY, YOU HELPED A WOMAN GET AWAY WITH KILLING ANOTHER HUMAN BEING. NEIL FRANKEL TERRORISED THERESA AND THEIR CHILDREN. BECAUSE HE WAS THE SON OF A SENATOR, HE GOT AWAY WITH IT FOR YEARS. AND THAT'S WHY SHE KILLED HIM. ARE YOU GONNA PUBLISH WHAT'S ON THAT TAPE? THAT'S A PRETTY SILLY QUESTION, DR MANNERS. I MEAN, THE PUBLIC IS GONNA EAT THIS UP. WHY WOULDN'T I PRINT IT? BECAUSE YOU'D BE RUINING A WOMAN WHO'S ALREADY ENDURED MORE THAN ANY OTHER PERSON SHOULD HAVE TO ENDURE. THERESA FRANKEL IS TRYING TO PUT HER LIFE BACK TOGETHER. YEAH, WELL, DOUBLE JEOPARDY PREVENTS THERESA FRANKEL FOR BEING TRIED FOR HER HUSBAND'S MURDER EVER AGAIN, SO... WHAT DO YOU WANT? WHAT I WANT IS AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW. I WANT YOU TO TELL ME EVERY DETAIL OF YOUR CONVERSATION WITH THERESA FRANKEL. OR I'LL PUBLISH THE TRANSCRIPTS OF THIS TAPE. GO TO HELL. TAKE A COUPLE DAYS TO THINK ABOUT IT. I'LL BE IN TOUCH. OH, AND BY THE WAY ` WHY WOULD YOU THINK THAT YOUR HUSBAND WOULD GIVE ME A TAPE LIKE THAT? ARE YOU HAVING PROBLEMS WITH YOUR HUSBAND? YOU OK, DOC? OH, YEAH. YOUR RESEARCH IS VERY THOROUGH. I'M GONNA TALK TO MY ACCOUNTANT TODAY, SO YOU SHOULD HAVE AN ANSWER BY TOMORROW. THAT'S GREAT. (CHUCKLES) ROB, LOOK, I KNOW THAT THIS IS NONE OF MY BUSINESS, BUT I TALKED TO LIZ, AND SHE TOLD ME ABOUT YOUR SITUATION. SHE DID? I MET WITH HER YESTERDAY MORNING TO TALK ABOUT THE CHARITY, AND IT CAME OUT. SHE LOVES YOU, ROB. SHE DOESN'T WANT THIS MARRIAGE TO END. ARE YOU SURE? ABSOLUTELY. THE BEST THING FOR YOU TO DO IS TO GO OVER THERE AND TALK TO HER. YEAH, I'VE ALREADY TRIED THAT. WELL, YOU'VE GOTTA KEEP ON TRYING. I MEAN, WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES. BUT THE BIGGEST MISTAKE WOULD BE LETTING HER WALK OUT OF YOUR LIFE. THE TIME IS NOW. IF YOU DON'T FIGHT FOR HER, YOU'RE GONNA LOSE HER FOREVER. TRUST ME ON THIS. I GUESS YOU'RE RIGHT. I MEAN, MAYBE I'LL GO OVER THERE TONIGHT WHEN SHE GETS HOME FROM WORK. NO, NO MAYBES. YOU GOTTA DO IT. OK. I'LL DO IT. (CHUCKLES) IT'S A GOOD DECISION. I AM JUST SO UPSET, KATE. I'M SITTING IN MY CAR, IN THE PARKING LOT, SO NOBODY AT THE RADIO STATION CAN HEAR ME. I'VE NEVER BEEN SO ANGRY IN MY LIFE. OH, CALM DOWN, LIZ. I CAN'T BELIEVE HE WOULD RECORD US. I MEAN, WHY? WHY WOULD HE DO SOMETHING SO SPITEFUL? WELL, MAYBE HE WAS PLANNING ON A DIVORCE AND WANTED TO BLACKMAIL YOU FOR A SETTLEMENT. YOU SAID HE NEEDS MONEY, RIGHT? YEAH. BUT THIS, THIS ISN'T THE ROB THAT I KNOW. YEAH, WELL, SOMETIMES PEOPLE DO CRAZY THINGS WHEN THEY'RE DESPERATE. HOW ARE YOU GONNA HANDLE THIS? I'M NOT GONNA HANDLE IT.

GUNSHOT (GROANS) (PANTS) LIZ. DON'T SPEAK. IT'LL ALL BE OVER IN JUST A MINUTE. the impact these electric cars have on the environment, you could say, is tiny. For a small country with a little population, we have some big ideas on how to keep NZ clean and green. For example, deciding to drive more electric vehicles, because they can be fuelled by electricity that our country generates from renewable sources every day. The benefit to us now and to future generations could be enormous. And with hardly any carbon emissions, the impact these electric cars have on the environment, you could say, is tiny.

HONESTLY, DETECTIVE, YOU'RE JUST WASTING THE DOCTOR'S TIME. SHE ALREADY TOLD YOU EVERYTHING SHE KNOWS. AM I A SUSPECT? DO YOU THINK I KILLED MY HUSBAND? DR MANNER, WE KNOW ABOUT THE TAPE. SO YOU THINK I DID IT BECAUSE I WAS ANGRY AT ROB FOR GIVING THE TAPE TO TOBY NEDERMAN. WE'VE SEEN IT HAPPEN BEFORE ` ONE PARTNER GETS SOME FAME, SOME MONEY, THINGS AREN'T GOING SO GOOD IN THE MARRIAGE. ROB HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. JAMES DID IT. HE TOLD ME. WHY DO YOU THINK HE WOULD TELL YOU THAT? SEEMS LIKE THAT WOULD BE INFORMATION THAT WOULD BE IN HIS BEST INTEREST TO WITHHOLD. BECAUSE HE` LIZ, YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER THAT. BECAUSE HE WAS GOING TO KILL ME, SO HE HAD NOTHING TO LOSE. DR MANNERS, WE ARE LOOKING FOR HIM, BELIEVE ME, BUT YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS SEEN HIM. THAT'S RIGHT.
