In
spring 1991, appears Richard Sedgewick, an old friend of the Capwell
family. He comes to visit Kelly Capwell at the hospital after she
miscarried and lost Quinn Armitage's baby. Richard shows himself very
thoughtful with Kelly, kind and comforting.
Famous
singer,
Richard makes concerts after concerts, from the White House to the
Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.. It is besides on the occasion of one
with his galas that he suggests to Kelly to accompany him in the
American capital. He gets closer to her, succeeding in seducing her
whereas she is in the middle of a love crisis. In the hotel they share
in Washington, Richard joins one evening Kelly in her room and speaks to
her about his wife and their children, a family which belongs to the
past for him. But, suffering from cardiac problems, Richard has a heart
attack while, for the first time, he dares to kiss Kelly. Incapable to
seize his pills, he has only one idea in mind : to make Kelly promise to
keep their relation secret. He dies from a violent heart attack in Kelly's
room. Kelly panics and then calls Quinn for his help. This latter puts
Richard's dead body in his room and makes it so that it is discovered by
the security service of the hotel.
According
to Richard's
last wills, Kelly assures his wife, Renata, that Richard was alone at
the time of his death. Renata's
doubts and the suspicions of police officer Michael Donnelly urge
finally Kelly to recognize that she was well with Richard at the time of
his death. But she gets out of it without consequences, as Richard would
have wanted it in any case. A respectful conclusion of the memory of the
singer...
