The Vise (Ep 41): Stranglehold

Plot:

This crime drama is made up of two different tales of murder gone awry. In the first episode, an angry man plans a murder/suicide to protect his daughter from an extortionist. In the other story, a vengeful doctor hypnotizes his wife's unsuspecting lover and suggests that he break into her room late one night. The doctor hopes that his wife will be so frightened that she will kill her lover. But things don't quite go as planned and when the wife learns the truth about her husband, he finds himself in mortal danger.
