"You think you walked away from that without a scratch." "Is that what you think?" "This is a trick." "Is it?" "Uncle brad." "You need too tell me where to find those women, terry." "They're the reason you're in that bed." "They're the reason your uncle brad looks so worried" "And they're your only hope of ever getting up again." "They did this to me." "You did this to yourself." "It's her." "That one." "It's all her fault." "What about her?" "." "Terry?" "She made me." "I didn't mean to." "I didn't, I didn't want to."

"He'd lost a piece and was out looking to replace it" "When the accident happened." "You gleaned quite a bit in there," "All things considered." "But not enough." "By the way, smart move sending the uncle down there." "Well, I knew what you had planned." "I thought it might add a touch of pathos." "He was really getting on your nerves, huh?"

"You still believe terry karrens will return to his victims?" "I think he's in the market for a new aunt sheila." "But yeah." "All our actives are tagged with a gps strip." "We can find them anywhere at any time." "So if there are survivors, victor will lead us to them." "What do you mean he wasn't tagged?" "Why not?" "They took his gps strip out before they started all that" "Complicated facial reconstruction;" "the scar removal." "The surgery's complete." "Right, but dr." "Saunders" "Is the one who signed off on having it taken out." "And she kind of left before telling anybody to put it back." "Lovely, so you're saying that we've imprinted an active" "As a serial killer and then blindly let him loose upon the streets?" "I wasn't saying that." "Victor might not have a working gps in his body" "But maybe bradley karrens has one in his car." "Oh..." "Funny how my mind would never think to go there." "(all gasping, groaning)" "What's happening?" "The stuff, it's wearing off." "Where is he?" "I don't know." "He killed her." "He killed her." "I know, I know," "He's going to kill us, too."

"The hit and run, where did it happen?" "Just outside beverly hills." "That has to be close to where he's keeping the women." "You think he's headed back there?"

"We're trying something in here" "And so we're calling all the handlers in the field" "To let them know that I'm going" "To be taking the biolink grid" "Off-line for a few seconds." "So, uh, when, uh, your screen goes dead, uh," "There's nothing to worry about." "Okay." "What are you trying?" "Uh, a remote wipe." "Why?" "Oh, well..." "Victor's loose, doesn't have gps" "And apparently, he's a serial killer." "Ah." "So, what I'm going to attempt to do" "Is go into his biolink feed, which doesn't tell me" "Where he is, but it does give me a way into his head." "I'm going to reverse the signal," "Send a purgation tone" "And blow his mind." "(chuckles)" "Literally." "Then what?" "Just leave him out there in his doll-state?" "Totally wiped?" "He'll be an empty-headed robot" "Wandering around hollywood." "He'll be fine." "We'll find him." "(indistinct chatter)" "(bangles clanging)" "How will we know if we're successful?" "Um..."

"You do have power over me." "You are an incredible woman." "(gasps)" "What did you call me?" "I am an incredible woman." "Goodness gracious." "Hello, mr." "Langton, how's your evening out?" "A lot like my evenings in." "I'm afraid there's been a little bit" "Of a situation here." "Yeah." "I spoke to topher." "Did the remote wipe take?" "It remains to be seen." "The attempt seems to have thrown the entire system off-line." "We'll know all once topher has rebuilt it." "Until then, we're blind." "We need to bring in all our field actives." "Get them in pocket till the situation is resolved." "I agree." "You'll take point on this?" "Will do." "I'll start sending out the word." "Then grab echo and come home." "Very good." "(gasps) I thought I would make a nice day," "But they just won't let me." "You know what?" "Now they don't even get" "A new aunt sheila." "Yeah, full recall." "Everybody's coming home." "Hang on." "That's my other line." "This is boyd." "Cooper, did you end the engagement?" "What?" "(tires squealing) well, what...?" "Get back to the house." "It's fine." "Everything's going to be fine." "Yeah." "This is boyd." "I need an ambulance." "Adelle:" "So how did it happen?" "Do we even know what happened?" "My best guess?" "I had to access the biolink grid for the remote wipe." "I thought I isolated victor, but everything must have gotten scrambled." "So we assume terry karrens imprint" "Somehow got transferred to echo?" "Either that, or my attempt to make her hot for teacher" "Really didn't come off." "If terry is in echo, where did kiki go?"

"Aunt sheila doesn't want to leave." "I say we all take a tip from her." "You're staying." "(screaming)" "No!" "No!" "Did I fall asleep?" "No, no, no, no, no, no." "Don't engage until we know the worm is dead." "You have to kill it in the g-line." "The wave is hiding." "Why is it moving?" "Because it's designed to go where it's not supposed to." "It's the whole point." "The system's still down?" "Evidently." "I see you've made a friend." "I'm kiki." "(electronic whirring)" "Okay, I think we're good." "(applause)" "All right, where is she?" "Topher:" "Beverly hills." "I think she's gone shopping." "Maybe they're both kiki." "He was here." "He's still here." "(whimpering)" "He wants to kill you." "You have to kill him first."

"He watched you from the street." "He sat in his car and he watched you." "He could see your kitchen from the street." "He saw the boy," "The redheaded boy." "He liked the way the boy looked at you." "That's why he took you." "He'll do it again." "You need to stop him for that little boy." "You won't get another chance." "Echo." "Are you okay?" "I don't think so." "Would you like a treatment?" "(footsteps approaching)" "Adelle:" "I rather like him this way." "Even though you asked me to get into his head," "I never really could."
