"You Are Married to the Perfect Man:" American Masculinity in Crisis Nix just another one of Carter's innumerable multiples, or is the old man still alive, and still conducting his nefarious experiments on the children? Jenny will soon learn the truth with her own eyes. Among these are Josh (a seven year old boy who fears punishment.) and a powerful female, Margo, the protector of endangered "children" like Amy and Josh.īefore long, Jenny, Margo and Jack separately arrive at the out-of-the-way motel where the elder Dr. Waldheim seeks to learn Amy's location from the incarcerated Carter and during an interrogation she uncovers different hidden personalities. Carter has been abducting them from a local playground and delivering them to his white-haired father, who is conducting a new round of experiments at an out-of-the-way, seedy motel. Or to do Carter's dirty work.Ĭarter's dirty work, it turns out, involves the neighborhood children. Nix actually died years earlier (in a suicide attempt, following a disgraceful attempted baby kidnapping).Ĭarter hides another secret too: he suffers from multiple-personality disorder, or what today is termed a " disassociative identity disorder." Carter is the "original" personality, and his "twin" Cain (also Lithgow) is the bad-acting, disreputable personality, one "raised" by Carter during times of crisis to take care of him. But the truth is more complicated than that. This makes her resentful, at least in secret, of Carter.Īlthough professionally successful, Carter dwells in the shadow of his famous father, a child psychiatrist who allegedly runs a clinic in Norway. While Carter is a " hands on," stay at home Dad, his sexy wife, Jenny O'Keefe (Lolita Davidovich) works full-time as a nurse and is the family bread winner.
