"(MAN'S VOICE) You want to know all about me, don't you?" "Well, let's see, now..." "The first time I was in love was June 1975, in Boca Raton." "Her name was Coty Pierce." "She lived there with her parents and her little sister, Karrie." "And I loved her, too." "I loved them both, and they were in love with me." "They just didn't know it." "No one did." "I lived with them all that June." "(WOMAN) I don't understand." "(MAN'S VOICE RESUMES) I lived in the attic." "I was watching." "I loved the expression on their faces when they slept." "And then I decided to declare myself and show them how much they loved me." " What happened?" " What happened?" "Coty was honoured." "She kissed me back." "And then Karrie..." "And finally that night," "I kissed their mother, too." "Just a little pinprick." "There." "Kiss me." "That's it." "Are you watching this?" "Good." "Stand back!" "This game is 80% winning and 20% talent." "You've got to keep running." "That's it, that's my boy." "Good." "Bring an uppercut." "Right hand." "Don't fall on your face because you missed that jab." "What do I always say?" "Power comes from leverage and technique." "Are you paying attention?" "(BEEPER)" "I've got to go." "Pair off and hit the heavy bag." "Three rounds each." "How long has she been inside?" "I'm on my way." "Their names are Edmund and Dianne Wainford, ages 48 and 42." "An item about seven years, no complaints." "The neighbours say they were divorced, married, separated, reconciled, his idea, her idea, no one has a clue." "All I know is that's Edmund, and Dianne's in the bedroom." "Whose gun?" "He had a.38 Smith and Wesson registered." "Does that look like a.38 to you?" "Do you want a vest?" "I don't think I'll need one." "Dianne?" "This is Alex Cross, DCPD." "I need to talk to you." "OK?" "Dianne, I'm going to open the door, all right?" "I'm going to open it now." "Hold it." "Please." "Please, Dianne." "I'm going to close this door." "I'm going to move this chair to block the door." "That way nobody comes in and this stays between me and you." "OK?" "Can you take the gun out of your mouth, please?" "It's just as effective if you put it to your temple." "It just makes it easier to talk." " What sort of policeman are you?" " I'm a forensic psychologist." "I'm a guy who walks into a room and determines the hows and whys." " Then you don't need to hear from me." " No, I don't." "But I need you to confirm a couple of things." "For instance, did Edmond often beat you after he drank?" "And the turtleneck you're wearing, is that to hide bruises?" "Do you often have to hide marks that he put on you?" "Two weeks ago, he hit me." "And I swore it was the last time." "I finally get the nerve to leave that son of a bitch and then he suckers me back." "You know what I think?" "That you did what you had to do." "The thing now is to figure out how to finish things off." "The right way!" "The right way!" "Is it all right if I come a little closer?" "Thanks." "We only have to get photographs of your bruises." "I know at least half a dozen top notch lawyers that specialise in battered women's defences." "The point is, Dianne, if you pull the trigger, no one will ever know the truth." "Can I have it?" "Dianne?" "Samp, what are you doing here?" "Doughnut raid?" "Alex... hold on." " Look, May's inside." " Yeah?" " We got a call from Durham today." " Durham?" " Naomi is missing." "Come on." " What do you mean, "missing"?" "They called May from the law school." "She called me." "I called them back." "I told them who you were, her uncle." "They said she's been missing for four days." " Four days!" " The Durham Police is on it now." " The guy I talked to sounded solid." " Don't talk to him, talk to me." " They stole my child!" " Now, May, take it easy." "We'll handle it together, but with your high blood pressure, I need you to relax." " But what if?" " Now, you just take it easy." "Relax and breathe." "I want to tell you something." "Remember when Naomi was about ten, she got lost?" "You got frantic because you thought we'd never find her." "You were worried she'd have an asthma attack." "It turned out she was just fine." "Well, everything will be fine now, because I'll handle this myself." "You know you can trust me." "I'll handle this." "I trust you." "Nana is going to take you up to Janell's room." "Just relax for a while." " I don't need to relax." " May..." "May..." "Yeah." "Good." "All right." " I'll have to go down there." " Listen, Alex." "Stay here." "If they've a chance to wrap it up, how long will they hunt for one lost black girl?" "Stay here." "I'll go down there." "You can't do anything, it's out of yourjurisdiction." "You don't understand." "I've got to go." "Please, talk to me." "Talk to me the way you used to." "Please, say something." "Please!" "I'm sorry." "I can be better." "I can be good." " I won't be bad any more." " Yeah?" "Yeah." "Please, I swear." " You promise?" " Yes." "I'll make you happy." "How?" "Let me show you." "Tell me you love me." "Tell me you love me!" " I love you." " Megan, I don't believe you." " I love you." " Of course you do." "Good afternoon, Sergeant." "Dr Alex Cross, Washington DC PD." " I would like to see Chief Hatfield." " He's tied up at the moment." "We'll tell him." "He'll be with you as soon as possible." "Take a load off." "Thank you." " Sign this, sir." " Dr Cross." " You've been waiting for a while." " About two hours." " We've got a laid-back way here." " I see." " Run the names through the print-out." " I'm sorry about the wait." "Nick Ruskin." "Davey Sikes." "It's been real busy round here." "We've had a homicide, and not your garden variety, either." " Meaning?" " That's all I know." "We are heading out there now." "You can ride with us if you like." "The board shows eight women missing." "How closely connected are they?" "They all share the same profile." "Young, late teens, early 20s, pretty, all from inside the Research Triangle." "Each of them was ambushed." "No witnesses." "Does his homework." "He ties them naked to a tree and cuts their hair." "Only two bodies have been found." "This will probably be the third." "And the killer left a note for us at the second murder scene." " Signed it "Casanova"." " Casanova..." "The great lover." "This one here, is she white, black or?" "All we know is that she's a young woman who didn't die happy." "Our Chief Hatfield will be up at the scene." "I bet you two will get along like pigs in a blanket." "It's not her." " Dr Cross." "My boss, Chief Hatfield." " Chief." "Is it Detective Cross, Doctor Cross or Doctor Detective Cross?" "At a time like this, it doesn't matter." "As you see, it's not your niece." "I'm happy for you." " Have you figured out who she is?" " Megan Murphy." "University sophomore." "I told your Captain Hathaway I would help, given your special situation." " I appreciate that." " Consider yourself my guest." "Make yourself at home..." "but don't mess around in the kitchen." "Do you understand me?" "The TV news crews can't be far off if the crime author has arrived." " Kyle, it's good to see you." " You too." " I thought you were in Rochester." " Well, things change." " I see you're making friends fast." " I've done my best." "I heard about your niece." "I'm sorry." "How long has this been on the Bureau's wish list?" "A while." " Were the others tied up that way?" " Yes." "He doesn't like square knots." " He used Stayton Cordage, 7 gauge." " Yeah, America's favourite." " And the rest was too prolific to trace." " The guy's a pro." "A real student of the game, and an enthusiastic rapist." "The first post-mortems indicate vaginal tears inflicted hours before death." "Then, that's it." "No prints, fibres, semen or hair." "Except what he cut off her." "What about the cause of death?" "No signs of torture, weight loss or drugging." "He just ties them up and leaves them for the critters." " Real student of the game..." " And he likes to play." "We've liaisoned with the campus police, posted flyers..." "Figured somebody must have seen something important." "An environment fit for blending." "For you, a security nightmare." "For him... paradise." "We're going to get this animal." "We've got an eight-year-old girl thrown from a motorcycle." "She'll get a CAT scan." " What was she doing on a motorcycle?" " Her daddy took her for a ride." "The bandage is about to blow." "We'll have a bleed-out." " I need a tourniquet." " Retractors are ready." "I'll do a cut-down." "Scalpel, please, nurse." "Gauze and suture." " What's her name?" " Laura." "It's an awful lot of blood for such a little girl, Laura." "I'll try to put you back together again." " Hi, Mrs Lee." "I'm Dr McTiernan." " Hello." "She's alive." "Mrs Lee, wait..." "Mrs Lee, listen." "Laura has suffered severe head trauma and she's in a coma." "(SHE TRANSLATES)" "You can be with her as soon as..." "Please let me see my baby!" "I want to see the jab!" "Now move around the ring." "Around the ring, let's go!" "Don't stay there, back up." "Watch your contact." "Barry off, you can stay on." "Who's next?" " Kate, let's go." " OK." "Go get him." "All right, let's keep it light, guys." "Come on, Kate, let's see something." "I want to see the jab." "There you go, good!" "Let me see the jab." "Come on, on your toes." " Come on, girl!" " Nice!" "Good, let's go work it!" "Come on, on your toes!" "Ethan, what are you doing?" "Watch your contact." "Kate, are you OK?" "This is a sorry substitute for sex." " I said, this is a sorry substitute..." " I heard you." "Yeah, OK..." "Do you know what I'm looking for?" " The way my daddy looked at my mother." " What way?" "I can't settle for anything less." " Sure picks lookers, doesn't he?" " Yeah, he does." "These women are more than just attractive." "They are all extraordinary in some way." "Smart, talented..." "He ain't choosing them just for their congeniality." "Ordinarily, they don't." "But I think our guy is a little different." " How so?" " Killing is not his ulterior motive." "This guy's a collector." "I bet these women are alive." "Come on." "Our boy's brain is as soft as a two-minute egg." "I think every one of them is tied to a tree, waiting to be found." "Think about it, Sikes." "The three you found were killed out of sequence." " They weren't the first abducted." " That's right." "That don't mean that they're not still out there." "You would have found them by now." "He makes no attempt to hide them." "And the way they were killed is very revealing." " That last walk through the woods." " Marching to their fate." "Exactly." "The rape, cutting off their hair..." " It's punishment." " Maybe for violating some trust." "What goddamn trust?" "I don't know, Chief." "I don't know..." " How would you like to pay?" " I'm interested in another book." "It's a picture book for children in the hospital." "It's about being brave." "It sounds like a book by Burke." "I'll see if we have it in stock." "Good night, fish." "(SLIGHT SOUND)" "(CREAKING)" "(QUIET THUD)" " What do you want from me?" " Everything." "Take it back." "Jump up, come on!" "Come on, show me!" "What are you doing?" "Get the ball." "It's my court." "Don't ever come back here again." "Get out of here." "It's my court!" "Seth Samuel?" "I'm Dr Alex Cross." " Naomi's uncle." " And a cop." " I don't recall inviting you, so..." " Can we talk?" "Like I said, I don't recall inviting you here." "Look, we can talk anywhere you want." " I've told you guys everything I know." " Which was nothing." "I've had cops on me for days." "Hauling me to the station at night, all up my ass about Naomi and things that are nobody's business." "Looks like your business is in the public domain, doesn't it?" "What do you want to know?" "I want to know about Naomi's violin." "It's not on the police inventory." "Is it here?" "She used to practise here." "She was always practising on the thing." "But she always took it home with her." "Always." "Yeah, I know." "The cops have no idea, do they?" "Not a clue." "(MAN) I got all the glass out." "Everything you'll need to change the dressing is right next to you." "I brought some of your clothes, too." "Something for every occasion." " Can you hear me?" " Systemic analgesic." " What did you give me?" " That's why I picked you, Kate." "Your intelligence." "I appreciate that." "I know most men don't." "Can't." "I'm different." "You'll see that in time." "Now try not to go back to sleep." "Oh, my God!" " Oh, my God!" " I need to tell you the rules." "Stop." " Why am I here?" " You are here... to fall in love." "To experience love." "But now I need you to listen carefully and take what I say very seriously." "All right?" "Don't try to escape." "Don't cry out for help." "And do not try any of your kickboxing tricks." "Do you understand?" "I'll do what I can to help you not break these rules, but if you do, Kate, you will really disappoint me." "That's it." "There." "See?" "It didn't hurt, did it?" "Don't worry." "You are with Casanova." " Yes?" " I thought you'd be out... busy." "Well, you were wrong." "You've got mail." " Do you like it?" " Nice." "Exceptional." "Really." "I think she's extra special." "How are you feeling, old man?" "Swimmers, make your mark!" "Come on, keep going!" "Move those bodies, let's go!" "Kick it up, move it, move it!" "Speed, speed, muscle!" "Excuse me." "I'm looking for Dr Wick Sachs." "Lane five." "He's destroying my varsity." "Thank you." "Let's go, Blondie, pick it up!" "I can't tell you much you don't already know." "I gave Naomi some academic guidance, which she disregarded." "And that was that." "Excuse me." "I don't have time to get to know patients, but I do know that Naomi was a special woman." "My heart goes out to you." "Word is that you make time to get to know some of your special patients." "Whatever you may have heard, I don't have time to kidnap and mutilate them." "I understand how you must feel, you being a psychologist, and a policeman and her uncle." "It must be like suffering the tortures of the damned." " For me or for her?" " Well, both." "(BEEPER)" "It's yours." "He's never made strikes this close together before, has he?" "An intern, huh?" "Yeah." "He had a vacancy." "Never call out." "Never call out." "Never call out." "Somebody help me!" "My name is Kate!" "I'm Kate McTiernan." "I'm a doctor at the Carolina Regional Medical Center." "I need help!" "I know you can hear me!" "Come on!" "Who's out there?" "Somebody help..." "My name is Kate McTiernan." "Somebody talk to me!" " Who is out there?" " Be quiet." "Be quiet or he'll kill you." "Oh, my God!" "What's your name?" "What's your name?" "Talk to me, please, please!" "Tell me your name." "I'm Mary Jane Capaldi." "It's good to hear your voice, Mary Jane." "Are you OK?" "I'm Kristen Miles." "I'm here, too." "I'm Melissa Stanfield." "I don't know how long I've been here." "What month is it?" " I'm Samantha Gaines." " Carol Akers." "My name is Naomi Cross." "I've been here for eight days, I think." "Yeah, I know." "I miss you too, darling." "You know I do." "How's May?" "That's good." "Stay with her, you hear?" "Hang on, Janell." "Just a second." "I'm sorry." ""Odalisques were the most valuable of the Emperor's treasures," ""gifted in the arts of music and poetry."" " Talented." " Special." ""Welcome to Durham, Dr Cross." ""Giovanni Giacomo Casanova de Seingalt." You've got a fan." "I'll say one thing for our boy." "He's got nice penmanship." " He's just fucking with you." " This means he's tracking the case." "He's reading the local papers." "We can use that." "An odalisque is a statue, a tall, pointy thing?" "No, that's an obelisk." "An odalisque is a harem girl, a concubine, a sex slave." "There it is, just like you said." "So he's telling us the gals are alive." "Why is he telling us that?" "It demonstrates his power, his dominance." "That fits." "Our profiles of the murdered women show that they all shared one trait that would set off the control freak in him." "They are all strong-willed." "They are all defiant." "How many of the other girls share that profile?" "At least one." "Ow!" "Are you going to hurt me?" "OK, come on." "They can be bigger and they can be stronger..." "You're fucking nuts!" "I'll beat you." "Oh, my God!" "You could have been the best, Kate." "I may be going crazy, but didn't I warn you about breaking the rules?" " I'm sorry." " "I'm sorry."" ""I'm sorry."" " I'll do anything you want." " What did you say?" " I said I'll do anything you want." " Oh, I know you will." "Give me your arm." "I said give me your arm!" "Come on." "Give it to me." "Kate!" "Kate!" "KATE!" "Kate!" "KATE!" "This is not the way it works, Kate." "All right, now." "OK." "Easy, girl." "Easy, now." "Come on." " What do you know?" " Only that she is in shock." "The kids who found her were fishing near Wykagil." "Wykagil." "It's a river way out of town." "Well, lookee here." "We've got a circus up ahead." " Detective, can you confirm..." " Back off." "What concerns us is behaviour that suggests psychological trauma, especially acute." "Doctor, can you tell us exactly when she'll be able to talk to us?" "Kate McTiernan appears to be suffering from post-traumatic shock." "There's no telling when she will be lucid." "It could be hours or weeks." "You have to remember that she is very lucky to be alive." " At least tell us your best bet." " We can't go on that." "Dr Ruocco, my name is Dr Alex Cross." "I know who you are, I know your work." "I'm consulting with the local police on this case." "I need to see Kate McTiernan." "I'm sorry, but she does not need another doctor." "The last thing I want is to crowd you." "My request is personal." "One of the women abducted was my niece." "I need to talk to her." "It's all right." "You're safe now." "You are safe." " This woman's a fighter." " I wouldn't argue with that." "But we thought it was post-traumatic shock." "Her vitals are meandering downhill." "Everything is shutting down." " And you screened her for drugs?" " Yes." "Her blood and urine are clean." "Something is doing damage that we don't have a finger on." " Whoever did this..." "...is cunning." "But he doesn't know his history." "The real Casanova wouldn't have approved." "Excuse me." "Do you have a PDR?" "Unresponsive pupils, loss of muscular control, escalating tremors..." "Benzodiazepine would do that." "But all benzo drugs show up in blood and urine." "Except Sistol." "It's a benzo cousin." "Leukaemia specialists are using it to take the edge off chemo." " Is it an amnesiac?" " Absolutely." "We'll see what your theory is made of by morning." "Who are you?" "My name is Alex Cross." "I'm a policeman from Washington DC." "How do you feel?" "Sick." " I'll get you a doctor." "Hang on." " Wait." "I was given a drug." " I think it was a nervous system..." " Yeah, it was Sistol." "But we flushed it out of you." "It's nice to have you back." " Washington?" " Yeah." "I'm down here because of my niece." "She disappeared about ten days ago." "Her name was Naomi Cross." "I talked to her." "I talked to her." "Thank you." "I'll get that doctor for you." "I heard so many different voices and I tried not to cry." " Our boy won't show his face here." " If not, he's watching." "I guarantee you." "You make it sound like he ain't cooking on the front burner." "If he's so dumb, how come we haven't caught him yet?" "Ladies and gentlemen." "Good afternoon." "I'd like to introduce to you a very brave young lady." "Dr Kate McTiernan." "Dr McTiernan will make a brief statement, and that's all." "No questions, please." "Hello, I'm Kate McTiernan." "First, I'd like to say something to the families who have a loved one missing." "Please, do not give up hope." "There are other women where I was held, and I believe in my heart that they're still alive." "Second, to the boys who fished me out of the river and saved my life, and to the nurses and doctors here who are taking such good care of me, and for the thousands of letters and prayers" "I have received from all across America, thank you." "And last to the man who calls himself "Casanova", the man who took me from my own home and ultimately tried to kill me." "I broke your rules." "Just me." "None of the other women helped." "So if you're looking for someone to blame, blame me." "That's all I have to say right now." "Thank you for taking my message to the families of the missing." "I hope it helps a little bit." "Thank you." " What do you hear?" "Dogs?" " No." " Any kind of animals?" "Is it a farm?" " I don't know." " Do you hear the river?" " No." " I hear him... whispering." " What does he say?" "I can feel his mouth on my ear, his breath." "He tells me that he loves me." "Tell me about his face." "Tell me about his eyes, his mouth." "He has no face." "A mask." "He always wears a mask." "What kind of mask?" "What does it look like?" "It changes." "I can't show him that I hate him." "But you escape." "What do you see when you escape?" "I don't know." "I'm just running and my legs are heavy from the drugs." "And then I'm lost." "I'm running through hallways and there are all these rooms." "I don't know where to turn." " He's behind me!" " No, you get away." "How?" "How do you get out?" "Light." "Light..." "Back in the sun." " Do you see a barn?" " No." " A house?" "A cabin?" " No." "There's nothing." "Just the light." "It hurts my eyes." "And then the trees, the trees again." "The rocks are digging into my feet and I hear him shouting behind me." "I try to run faster." "That's all I'm thinking, "Run faster!"" "I left those girls behind." "I wasn't thinking." " I just told myself to run and run..." " It's all right." "It's OK." " I left those girls." " It's all right." "It's all behind you." "(PLAYS CLASSICAL PIECE)" " Are you familiar with these woods?" " Yeah, I come up here sometimes." "What do you run into up here besides hikers, bikers and campers?" "Locals, college kids..." "That's about it." " What about this river?" " It's good for trout fishing." "It's been that way since the early Colonial period." "It's over there." "What?" "What?" "I have to remember that my niece wouldn't be with some knucklehead." "Kate?" "Are you OK?" "I'm fine." "Really, I am." "I'm just sorry I can't take you to her." " I've made an interesting discovery." " About what?" "I ran a check on all the Sistol orders over the last five years." " Guess what?" " What?" "A Beverly Hills plastic surgeon came up on the list." "There's no protocol for Sistol in plastic surgery." "Bingo." "Two years ago, he ordered enough to treat leukaemia in a medium-sized country." " What's his name?" " Rudolph." "William Rudolph." "Grew up in Durham." "Did his pre-med work here." "Dr Cross, is it him?" "Is he bi-coastal?" "Bi-coastal?" "That's an interesting way of putting it." "There are about a dozen predators operating in California now." "There's one male Caucasian, probably early 30s, known as "The Gentleman Caller"." "They've been on to him for over a year." "His abductions follow the ones here by about ten days to two weeks." "It was exactly ten days after Naomi disappeared that a pretty black coed disappeared from UCLA." " So he's doing it there, too." " Compulsively." "And if he follows true to form, he is due to hit California soon." " Can the FBI pick him up?" " If they make one mistake..." "What happens to the girls?" "I can't risk Naomi starving to death in a cell." " No FBI." " You're going out there on your own." " I've got people." " Take me with you." " You're best served by staying." " And pretend nothing's happened?" " No, I just think you should..." " Dr Cross." "Only I have seen him." "I know his size, his voice, how he moves..." " I know how you feel." " Stop treating me like a victim." "You think I'm some sort of tourist because I wasn't raped?" "Every night, I hear those women's voices." "You want to save your niece?" "So do I." "I don't see my cousin." " Alex!" " There he is." "Hey." "Kate McTiernan." "John Sampson, DCPD." "Cousin, compadre extraordinaire." " How do you do?" " Hello, Kate." " Meet Henry Castillo, LAPD." " Nice to meet you." " Dr Cross, it's a pleasure." " It's mine, Henry." " Alex, can we huddle?" " Excuse me, Kate." " This is a surprise." " Surprises used to make you giddy." " What's the matter?" " We're out on a limb here." "I have pulled every string to get the cars and equipment." "This thing has got to go as smooth as silk or we're both fucked." "Understood." "I've got him, 10:48 a.m., crossing the north window." "Attention." "Rudolph just walked past the window." "Thank you for the update." "It's him." "He's on the move." "This does not look like a 7-Eleven run." " Where does this road go?" " Vancouver." "He sounded so sincere." " How's that?" " When he told me that he loved me." " I expect that's because he does." " Please!" "Multiply your anger by about a hundred, Kate." "That's how much he thinks he loves you." "OK." "Rudolph has landed." "There's a cabin about a half mile in." "So he hasn't travelled that far, after all." "He's back in the woods." "First time in California?" " It's a pretty state, isn't it?" " It's unforgettable." "Go ahead." "What?" "I can't hear you!" "They'll kill me!" "No!" "Shut up!" "Because you're sick!" "What the fuck is he doing?" " He's in a rage." " He's going fucking nuts." "He is going to scare the wildlife out of this forest." "What?" "Let's go." "Let's fucking go." "Tell me, what did you see back there?" "A killer getting organised." "He won't abduct somebody from there." " He's pulled people from joints before." " Not in the Triangle." "We'll cover him loose, see what he's got." "Henry, stay here." " If it's crowded, why can't I come?" " If he even thinks he sees you, it's over." " What about you?" " 20 years of experience blending in." "You stay with Henry." "There he is." "Across the bar." "Damn!" "He's in there, just like that." "Mr Lover Lover." "We ought to nail his ass right now." "It's not the same without Fernando." "I can't believe they let him go." "He had this knuckle ball." "It was like a floater, then bam!" "Right off the table, couldn't even come near it." "What have you got down there?" "The Durham Bulls?" "Triple A?" "Got any prospects?" " EDF 40, full military specs." " I'm going in." "What?" "Hey, hold on!" " Come here." " I've got to pee." " No, I'm not that stupid." " It's not really your style." " You don't know what my style is." " Your style is to help me blend in." "Henry, help me blend in." "Come on." "All right." "Right here, right here." "I am going to walk over and find our boys, all right?" "You shall stay right here." "You won't move." "Wonderful." "Kate." "Is that him?" "Is that Rudolph?" "Yeah." "Yeah, that's him." " It's him." " Are you sure?" " Yeah." " Come on." "Stand still." "Follow the treeline to the drive." "Henry, break left." "We'll take the front." "Remember."

""Shocking"is an accurate way to describe what happened here." "Local police won't comment, but Channel 6 sources tell us that what happened here..." "Does this hurt?" "They sure can document a fuck-up at the speed of light." "You won't be seeing pictures of the woman you saved on TV." "OK, breathe in..." "How's this?" "A little tender there." "What about here?" " We need X-rays." " Not a chance." "Castillo and the woman were rushed to a nearby emergency facility..." "Gone in the night." "At least the FBI know who they're looking for." "How far can he run?" "It's not a question of how far." "It's how long." "... lots of questions and receiving few answers." "Questioned on the scene, Detective John Sampson..." "What do you want to do?" "Sampson is a detective of good standing with the Washington police." "Sampson was part of a rag-ttag surveillance team." "Sampson, Castillo and two other unidentified individuals were on a stake-out, but staking out whom or what?" "I would like to make reservations from Los Angeles to Durham for two tonight." " It's the return..." " Hang up the phone." " Pardon me?" " Hang up the phone." "Dr McTiernan." "Welcome to our crime scene." "The sight of yellow tape and flashbulbs must be getting old to you." " You got here quick." " Not quick enough." " Let's not downplay the upside." " The upside?" " She ID'd Casanova." "You've got a trail." " Don't even try." "The day you set foot in Durham..." "You've been screwing me around." "I let you in." "I shared information." "What have we got?" "A mess and a cop who's looking at two years of rehab." "Kyle, do you want me to say I fucked up?" "All right." "I fucked up." "Just don't shut me out of this." "What do you see?" " Maybe I'm looking too hard." " For what?" "I don't know." "It seems so cold." "Not like him." "Alex." "Keep looking." "The closet looked tight so I brought in a DX fluoroscope." "It scanned what appeared to be a lunar module." "It's a freezer." " A trophy case." " He's got divergent MOs." "Don Juan on the east coast, Josef Mengele on the west." "We found feet." "Surgically band-sawed at the ankle, vacuum-bagged." "15 pairs, two lefts." "Go figure." "Obviously not a dancer." "Check out the shrine." "Gentleman Caller." "Casanova." "There hasn't been a multi-territorial predator since Jean De Salle, 1921, eviscerating Paris prostitutes and strangling widows on the Riviera." "Running a bi-coastal operation?" "It's the most ambitious stunt in serial pathology." " He's Houdini squared." " Put the brakes on." "This isn't Houdini." "What we have here is Leopold and Loeb." "Home team... visitors." "We've got 30 ampoules of Sistol." "The chronologies match." "There are two of them, and they're collaborating." "Collaborating and competing." "Got an ID on him?" "Probably some kid Rudolph did 20 years ago." " We'll find him in Missing Persons." " Don't bother." " You know who he is?" " Yes, and he's got both his feet." "You've got three minutes to throw that bolt." "Am I wasting my time?" "OK, boys." "Nobody home." "You all take upstairs." "Be clean, boys." "Clean and thorough." "Get the goddamn media out." "Get the Chief." "Alex." " How long has he been in the box?" " Five-six hours." " This is bullshit!" " You know I wouldn't sanction this." "Hatfield got the tip and stages a huge public arrest." "By the time I'm..." "You had two million dollars' worth of surveillance equipment and these clowns stage a cold arrest." "Top notch policework." " It's all politics." " It's all bad." "Not all." "Dr Sachs." "It's good to see you again, circumstances notwithstanding." "Can I get you anything?" "Coffee?" "Soda?" "Come on." "There are some questions you can answer without a lawyer." "You might have said, "Yes, thank you, I will have coffee" or "No, thank you."" "You know, just to be polite." "You don't drink coffee, do you?" "You probably stick to bottled water." " What is he doing?" " That's how you stay fighting trim." "He is doing what he does." "Where does the best bottled water come from?" "The Alps?" "Some French aquifer?" " Futokon." " I'm sorry?" "Futokon." "It's Japanese." "You wouldn't know it." "It's in the Japanese character to do this." "They build special ships, sail them to the farthest navigable extremes and look for the bluest iceberg they can find." "And they tow it back." "And one is able to drink something that was last in liquid form about 30,000 years ago." "Expensively clean." " What does it taste like?" " Like water." "By the by, Alex..." "Writing a bestseller?" "You must be a millionaire." "No, no." "Far from it." "I bring it up only because I mean to sue you along with these other local imbeciles." "For what?" "Defamation of character?" "I like to fuck, variously fuck, young women." "I have fucked nearly 100 in 75 ways, but I have never hurt any of them." "There is no record of violence anywhere in my past." "Megan Murphy." "Oh, yes." "This is a painstaking recreation of an image from Friedrich Thelen's Die Welt der Flagellanten." "Do you know it?" "It took me three hours to tie her up properly." "Done consensually, by the way." "Dr Cross, tell me you've got more than this." "I have pictures of Megan tied to a tree." "No." "I was thinking we'd discuss that at the trial in, say, six months." "Maybe you would like me to go on record now about Naomi." "Let's start with the first time I saw her, in my office." "She was wearing a silk blouse, which pleases me." "I like to turn up the air conditioning to constrict the capillaries." "You know, tweak the nipples." "She was very self-conscious, the chill in the air made her nervous." "Like the others, her manner belied her real predilections." "Which reminds me, have you seen the photographs of Naomi?" "Alex!" " Back up!" " Put your hands down!" "All right." "Settle down, settle down." "Everything's all right." "Naomi." "You're just as pretty as your picture." "Beautiful feet." "What do you hear?" "Dogs?" " Do you hear the river?" " No." "I hear him... whispering." " What does he say?" " I can feel his mouth on my ear." " I take it we didn't get our confession." " We didn't." "He's not Casanova." " His picture was on the wall." " That's part of their thing." "It's a set-up." "Brothers-in-arms watching each other's backs." "Sachs is the perfect patsy for them." "Too smug to know what hit him." "He's just a bush-league lech." "The cops think they got the right guy." " I've been listening to the tape." " Yeah?" "Have you ever heard a foetal sonogram?" "An ultrasound?" "On the tape you asked me if I heard anything." " Yeah." "You said, "Nothing"." " That's not true." "I heard something in the background." "It was constant." " I heard water." " Water?" "Everywhere." "Below me, above, around, everywhere." " I had to have been in a basement." " Not possible." "Every farmhouse, barn, outhouse, chickenhouse, doghouse..." " The FBI have checked everything." " They missed it." "I saw the aerial photos." "They didn't miss an inch." "There were doors, walls and stairs." "It was man-made, it was built." "When you escaped, you didn't recall a house." " You said, "Suddenly there was light."" " And I had been in a house." "I am sure of it." "Here's what we're looking for, a plantation layout." "There weren't plantations on the Wykagil, there was A plantation." "Check it out." "All this is Mason's property." "Hundreds of acres." "Here's the big house, slave quarters, stables, cellars for stashing food, ice..." "Tunnels everywhere." "Can I see this?" " The river runs right through it." " Where was I found?" "Around here." "Two miles down from the big house." "I figure that's about 1,000 yards." "Forget here, forget here." "This square." "That's where we concentrate." "(PLAYS A PIECE BY BACH)" "No!" "No!" "Bach is crisp." "Crisp!" "(SLOW FOOTSTEPS OVERHEAD)" "(CASANOVA) Buongiorno, fratello." "This is quite a collection you have assembled here." "Your palette is so multi-cultural." "That is very PC, I applaud you." "But this place is a little overdone." "Subterranean Gothic went out a while ago, didn't it?" "You ought to get yourself a maid." "Do you know what this shit is?" "This is Civil War bat guano." "It's full of fungus." "Inhale any of this stuff, you'll have a prostate like a 70-year-old." "What about you girls?" "Any complaints?" "Any muscle aches?" "Lesions?" "Malaise?" "Don't you think they'd be better off in a freezer?" "You know this is off-limits." " Nobody tracked me." " Just like your cabin, right?" "I didn't make the phone calls." "I didn't post photos on the web." "That's not how they found you, or they would have found me." " You don't belong here." " If you're here, I'm here." "I need your help." "I only want what I can give you." "You gave me nothing!" "Remember '75?" "Roe Tierney, homecoming queen?" "Blood on the walls." "I cleaned up your slop." "I always do." "Face it, Will." "I'm your mentor." " And you're the bad seed." " Let me tell you something." "No matter how far out there you go, no matter how you dress up, when you come back, you're still just like me." "Naomi, let's hear something triumphal." "Something worthy of rebirth!" "Play something for us." "PLAY!" "No!" "She plays for me." "She only plays for you?" "Well, of course she does!" "Because you are the great lover!" "The dark figure of her dreams." "Come on." "Tell him." "Tell him how grateful you are, how you always wanted to be his." "Go on, tell him." "Tell him how you wait for him." "Tell him how he's the most sensitive, the best you've ever had." "Tell him that you love him." "That's what he wants to hear." "I could have aimed two inches to the left." "Don't forget who we are and who'll you be if I'm gone." "You can have a hundred women here, but without me you'd still be alone." "Take the stairs." "Go on." "Go!" "Police!" "Freeze!" "Hold it!" " Naomi?" " Alex?" " I'll be back." " No, don't go!" "I'll be back." " Alex!" " I found them!" "Up the hill!" "William, who is he?" "Tell me his name." "He's too good." "You won't..." " I'm waiting for the good news." " It keeps getting better." "Come on." "This is Casanova's next crop, blueprinted to a T." " We're in luck, he didn't wear gloves." " Yes." "Yes, yes, yes." "I want all this stuff to Quantico now." "If you can't find a plane, buy one." "You've got company." " Good to see you, Seth." " Thank you." " Hey, you." " Hi." "Are you OK?" "I've got something for you." "What happened to the strings?" "New strings for new music." "Thank you." " When is her mum coming?" " In the morning." "When are you heading out?" "The Bureau think they'll have Casanova ID'd within 12 hours, which really means 24." "When Kyle gets a bead on him, he's done, no matter how much road he's burnt." "After that, I'm out of here." "So then, that's it?" "I only have you for another day." "All right." "Supper at my house tonight." "Homecooked." "I promised Naomi I'd meet her at 8:30." "I'll make a lousy date." "Do whatever you have to do." "Be at my house by 7." "You'll be gone by 8:15." "Hey." "If you would just verify and sign there." "19 shots fired and one W. Rudolph - room temperature." " Good luck to you, Alex." " You too." "Take care of yourself." "As you know, the hostages are now safe." "They're being cared for at Carolina Regional Medical." "As for the forensics team, they include our very best." "Specialists in latent prints, fibre and hair study, serology and DNA analysis." "I'm very encouraged by their progress." "In less than two hours..."
