"Holy water embodies the purity of God's love." "It washes away sin, cleansing us so that we may truly be born again." "Helen, I know you've traveled a great distance to have your son baptized... in the same church where your husband Tom was baptized." " We have." " Who will be your son's godfather?" "I will." "Frank, your duty... is to help your brother and his wife... shelter and protect this child from harm." " Do you accept this duty?" " I accept." "In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost..." "God bless you." "I baptize thee..." "Charles Francis Black." "I wanted it so bad." "I dreamt about it." "The old man says, no." "No way am I gonna get that bike." "Christmas morning, I wake up... there it is." " He got it for you?" " Frank got it." "Anyway, I am so excited." "I practically jump on it." " Flew is more like it." " Immediately, I lose control." "I lay this three-foot scrape down the side of the old man's T-Bird." " What happened?" " I'll tell ya." "I am shaking." "The old man comes out." "Frank says he did it." " You didn't?" " I did." "I couldn't sit down for a week." " Where's Jordan?" " Um, she's in there." " I'm gonna go check on her." " Okay." "It's okay." "It's okay." "It's okay, sweetheart." "It's okay." "Did something scare you?" "He's hurting her, Daddy!" " Who's he hurting?" " Aunt Helen." " Catherine." " What is it?" " She's a little upset." " Oh, sweetie." " Where's Helen?" " She took the baby to the hotel." " When?" " Just a minute ago." "Where's Helen, Frank?" "Where is she?" "Frank?" "Yo, Frank, you there?" "You find anything?" "Yeah, well, the back of a man's head is not a lot to go on." " Do you have any more files?" " That's it." "Every sex offender, social deviant and rapist... not currently incarcerated in the greater Seattle area." "Nice to know who your neighbors are." "We're going county-wide with Helen's description." "I'm pulling men off vacation, Frank." "No one's gonna sleep until we find her." "No one else saw him." "You might want to go... door-to-door in the immediate area and see if anybody saw her with him." " Yeah, we're doing it." " Gas stations... convenience stores, toll booths, anywhere that they might have had to stop." "Yeah." "We got it covered, Frank." "This was a bold move." "We're lookin' for somebody that's done this before." "Frank, uh, can I have a moment?" "In my office?" "Look, uh, Frank..." "I know about the threats against your family... the guy who's been sending you pictures of Catherine... and I know that you're gonna want the millennium Group to be part of this." "You need their help." "I can't." "The department won't allow it." " Don't give me that, Bletch." " Now, just listen to me for a second." "No prosecutor can get a conviction... using evidence supplied by the victim's brother-in-law." " You gotta step back." " I can't." "Frank, no one in the world can help me more than you." "But if you're helping me on this, you're not helping me." "She's my brother's wife, Bletch." "Go home." "Be with your family." "They need you there." " What did he say?" "Does he have any suspects?" " Not yet." " Well, what are they doing?" " Looking for her, Tom." "It's been nearly four hours." "She could be anywhere by now." "He won't take her any farther than he has to." "Who would?" "Where is she?" "Damn it, Frank!" "What do you want me to do?" "You're doing everything you can, Tom." " Are you feeling any better?" " Yeah." " How's the baby?" " He's fine." "He's running a little fever." "I just put him down for a nap." "All right." "I'll..." "I'll go check on him." "Can I come too?" "Sure, sweetheart." "Hi." "Come." "What's going on?" "They have no motive, no suspects, no forensic evidence... to speak of." "They're treating this as a completely random act." " Did you talk to Jordan yet?" " She said she didn't see anything." "How did she know that someone was hurting Helen?" "I don't know." "Maybe she sensed something was wrong." "I'll find Helen, Catherine." "I won't let anything happen to her." "I'd be careful about making that promise, Frank." "I know how these cases turn out." "We both do." "I'll find her." " That's it." " Thanks." "You're welcome." "Police." "They finished examining the luggage." " What are you looking for?" " I'm not sure." "Frank, please." "Let me in, okay?" "I'm an academic." "I'm not a cop." "I don't know the rules." "There are no rule books." "Every situation is different." "Do you notice anything different about these bags?" "Like what?" "Did you label them all with your name and address on them?" "Yeah." "My office phone." " This one doesn't have a tag on it." " So maybe it fell off." "It also could have been removed by the man who took Helen." "Uh, can I help you, sir?" "I need some supplies for a project." "What kind of a project?" "I'm adding a room to my house." "That's quite a project." "Yes, it's gonna take some time." "I need some rope..." "and some hand tools." "What are you making, a tree house?" "Uh, I'll go grab the rope from the back." "Tools are in the first aisle." "Thank you." "I got some drywall tape for ya." " You putting in studs?" " Yes." "Uh, aluminum or wood?" "Wood." "I got a special on these." "Works like gangbusters." "You could drive a nail through a two-by-four... like a hot knife through butter." "I'll take it." "Thank you." "The hard drive purges itself every 72 hours to save on storage space." "Another 20 minutes, and this footage would have been erased from the system." "Where were you standing when you picked up your luggage, Tom?" "I don't remember." "Uh..." "Over there, I think, by the curb." "what are you looking for?" "The way Helen spoke to the man I saw was casual, as if she had met him before." "could have been someone who initiated contact with her here... then tracked her to the church." " That's you, right?" " Yeah, that's me." "Where's Helen?" "There she is." "Oh, my God." "Could you move that back six frames, please?" "Is that him?" "Is that him?" "Frank, I told you to stay out of this." "That was the man I saw talking to Helen at the church." "He used her luggage tag to track her down." " How do you know that?" " My brother's secretary got a call Friday... from a man that said he was a friend of his." "She gave him the name of the church where the baptism was being held." "Frank, you're taking a huge leap here." "This guy at the airport could just be a guy at the airport." "But you can't see that because you're too damn close to this... and your judgment can't help but be affected by it." "That's him." "I got guys that can use enhancement software to give us a usable image." " Something that we can work with." " Back off, Frank!" "An hour ago, we found a stolen car... abandoned in a supermarket parking lot." "Helen's blood was inside." "The rear seat upholstery and carpet." "But she's still alive, Bletch." "Otherwise, she'd be in the car." "He's moved her to another location." "But we don't have much time." "Tom, let's go." "Come on." "Sorry." "I didn't mean to startle you." "That's okay." "I just didn't expect to find you sitting here in the dark." "I came down for a glass of water." "Guess I lost track of the time." "Have you seen Frank?" "He left a few minutes ago." "He said he was taking a walk." "I've been sitting here trying to... prepare myself for... whatever happens." "That's just what Frank does when he's worried about something." "Yeah, well, that's the Black family." "Try to anticipate the future so you don't have to dwell on the past." "You couldn't stop what happened to Helen, Tom... anymore than you can control the future." "There's all these... images running... running through my mind." "I don't know what life was like before yesterday." "All I..." "All I see are... pictures of her... suffering... and I'm not there to save her." "He's probably just hungry." "Oh." "I'll be up in a minute." "Would you mind turning out the light?" "Thanks for coming on such short notice, Peter." "I'm sorry about your sister-in-law, Frank." "I have some news for you." "I was concerned it might be the same man that's been sending you pictures of your family." "I haven't been able to completely rule that out... but I came up with some other possible suspects." "That's official memoranda." " Channels of the Seattle P.D. How'd you get it?" " Unofficially." "Recently passed federal legislation requires... that local P.D. be alerted when sex offenders... are released or paroled into the community." "Well, tell the group I really appreciate it." "Given the unofficial nature of our investigation..." "I thought it best I not tell the group." "I'll be in touch." " Yeah, Bletcher." " Bletch, I've got a suspect for you." "Hang on." "Just give me a minute, will you?" " Damn it, Frank, what did I tell you?" " His name is Richard Green." "Yeah, Richard Green was in the files you looked at." "You didn't I.D. him." "Green's head is shaved." "I think the man at the church wore a wig." "Is that what you think?" "Or is that what you wanna think?" "Before his incarceration, Green worked as a skycap." "Yeah, at Sea-Tac." "That's how he targeted his victims." "We had him in for questioning last night." "He's a wacko, Frank, but he's clean as far as we can tell." "He served his time, and he lives with his parents." "Now, I wanna know... how you got a hold of Green's confidential files." "It came across my desk." "The next time something comes across your desk, just let it keep moving okay?" "You guys should be watching him, Bletch." "We've already got him under surveillance." "Now, I'm not asking you this time, Frank." "I'm ordering you." "Leave it alone!" "They have a suspect?" "They might." "Before his release two weeks ago... a man named Richard Green... served an eight-year sentence in an asylum for the criminally insane." "He's a sexual sadist who raped, tortured and mutilated two women." "You think he took Helen?" "He fits." " You've got to tell Tom." " If Green has Helen... then what's happened to her is beyond his worst fears." "I can't tell my brother that." "I won't till I'm sure he needs to know." "Sons of bitches." " I'm going out." " Richard?" "Oh!" "Take a look." "Mr. Psycho's taking his morning stroll." " That's it!" " What's it?" "This guy's yo-yo snapped." " That's it!" "This is it, man!" " Oh, boy." " Cool it, Mr. Green." " I didn't hurt anybody!" " Leave me alone!" " Just calm down, Mr. Green." " Nobody says you did anything." " Leave me alone!" "I told you." "I didn't hurt anybody!" "Richard, get in here!" "We could bring him in on charges." "If this guy knows where that woman is he's not gonna do us much good sitting in a cell." "Come on, Richard." "Get inside." "You leave my son alone." "Just ask the hospital." "He's all better now." "Yeah." "He's the picture of mental health." "Thank you." "Mr. Black?" "I'm Dr. moss." "We spoke on the phone about Richard Green." "I wonder if you could show me his room?" "Sure thing." "I'm sorry to say that I wasn't surprised to hear that Richard's in trouble again." "According to his record, he completed his scheduled course of treatment." "The psychiatric review panel determined that schedule." "If I could've held him longer than eight years I would've, but I was overruled." "Then you expected him to commit more crimes?" "we have an excellent record here." "Ninety percent of the criminally insane patients we treat... never commit another crime." "But you weren't surprised that he'd be among the 10% that do." "It's been cleaned up." "I'm not sure what you're expecting to find." " Was he delusional?" " He claimed Satan was forcing him to do evil." "He thought he was protected as long as he stayed here... but the devil would pull him back into evil when he got out." "He saw himself as a victim... tortured, like the women that he abducted." "I wish I could say we did something to alleviate his delusions." "The truth is we let that man out of here with only a prescription bottle and a prayer." "What are you doing?" " Do you recognize it?" " Richard must've done that." "He had crude burn marks on his left bicep." "They looked the same." "It's the mark of Lucifer." "It's an ancient symbol drawn as a sign of eternal loyalty." " Hello?" " Catherine, it's me." "Frank, I'm so glad you called." "I had to take the baby to the Merediths." "Jordan's sick." " What's wrong?" " I don't know." "She's burning up." " I'm taking her to the doctor now." " Where's Tom?" " Isn't he with you?" " What are you talking about?" "He left about an hour ago." "He said he was gonna meet you downtown." " What do you want?" " Where is she?" "I don't know." "You do know." "You're gonna tell." "Tell me where she is." "Where's my wife?" "You son of a..." "Where's my wife?" "I will kill you!" " Tell me!" " I don't know." "Mr. Black!" "Put it down, Mr. Black!" "Tell me where she is." "We don't wanna get confused about who the bad guy is here, Mr. Black." " Put it down." " He took her!" "we don't wanna hurt you, Tom, but we will if we have to." " You know that." " He can tell me where she is." "Let me make him tell me where she is." "Go ahead." "Shoot me." " Where..." " Don't do it, Tom." "Kill me." "Do it!" "That's what he wants." "He can't tell you anything if he's dead." "Put it down." "That's it." "Come on." " Please." " Come on." "You know this isn't gonna work." "Put it down." "That's it." "Put it down." "That's it." "That's it." "What the hell were you trying to do over there, Tom?" "The only thing I could do." "Breaking into my basement, stealing my gun?" " You only made it worse." " I was trying to find her." "So was I." "This never would have happened if we hadn't come here to see you." "You don't see it, do you, Frank?" "You bring it upon yourself." "It's a sickness." "You can't just keep it locked away in the basement." "I would do anything to protect you and yours." "By keeping me in the dark, just like you always have?" "I don't want your protection." "I want the truth." "Some truths are better left unknown." "But you can't keep them from us, can you, Frank?" "You can't keep them from any of us." "Frank?" "They took blood?" "At first, the doctor thought that she picked up something from the baby." "But it's the same thing as when we first moved in here." "They ran some tests, and they couldn't find anything wrong with her." " How is she tonight?" " She's still running a fever." "She's such a good little girl." "Never complains." "It's like the whole world has gone to hell." "This is my brother Tom." "I got into the police garage and examined the abandoned vehicle with Helen's blood." "I found these in one of the heating vents." "They're from a Port Orford tree." "It's a kind of cedar native to Japan." "The only place it's found in the state of Washington is Peninsula National Park." "The Department of Natural Resources did a trial planting there." "Twenty miles north." "This is the only access road into the park." " Why take her here?" "Aren't there people around?" " Not at this time of the year." "He'd take her to a remote spot, someplace where he wouldn't be overheard." "Frank, stop the car." "There's a cabin back there." "Oh, dear God." "Do you recognize this ring?" "It's Helen's." " Cover every inch of these woods." " Ten-four." " The bastard got away from us, Frank." " You did everything you could." "It wasn't enough." "We made some casts of the tire tracks outside." "They match the abandoned car." "I got my men in the woods lookin' for her body." "It may be a little late, Frank, but, uh, got any thoughts about this?" " Anything you think we've missed?" " I don't know how he did it." "You've had him under surveillance since Sunday night." "How did he have time to get up here and dispose of the body?" "He could've killed her Sunday afternoon before we brought him in for questioning... before we even knew he was the suspect." "There's a lot of blood here." "Some of it may be Green's." "I'll give you a call... once we get the goods to pick him up." "One last thing." "Could you make sure... the ring doesn't get lost?" "Peter Watts is gonna stay here and review the evidence." "Tom?" "I feel nothing." "There's nothing inside." "None of this is real." "Are you ready to leave?" "Let's get out of here." " How are you feeling?" " Okay." "What's it say, Mommy?" "It says you're still sick, sweet face." "Aren't you going to work today?" " I'm gonna stay home from work today." " Why?" " So I can be home with you." " Why?" " Because you're my sweet little girl." " Why?" "Because I love you... and I'm gonna tickle you silly if you keep asking me why." " Anyone home?" " Daddy and Uncle Tom are home." "Mommy'll be right back." " Mommy?" " What is it, Jordan?" " why is he so mad?" " Why is who so mad?" "The man who's making Aunt Helen cry." " Hi, sweetie." " Hi, Daddy." "Hi." "Catherine?" "Let's go." "Come on." "There were traces of Green's blood in the cabin." "He's our guy, but he's still not talking." "We found these tools in his room." "He had this wig in his dresser drawer." "That's not why you called me here." "No." "There is something else." "I think you should take a look." "Forensic techs found a plastic clothes bag buried under six inches of sod." " Excuse us, guys." " Let's see what we've got here." "It's not her." " Where is she?" " They're still questioning him in there." "He insists he doesn't know where she is." "Peter." "We've examined the remains at Green's house." "There's something interesting." " I want to see." " Tom..." "I can take it." "Here." "The wrappings on the victim preserved the body exceptionally well." "Judging from the decay, this woman died nine or ten years ago... predating Green's incarceration." "Like the victims previously identified as his... she was sexually assaulted, mutilated." " what did you want me to see?" " Here." " The roof of the victim's mouth." " They're burn marks." "Probably from a cigarette." "It's hard to tell." "They appear to depict a star surrounded by a circle." "That's the same symbol burned into Green's arm." "We have to go back to Green's house." "There's something we missed." "You want to let me in on the secret, Frank?" "Richard Green didn't kill her at the cabin, Bletch." "We got his blood at the scene." "You've had him under surveillance since Sunday." "He only had the opportunity to move her once." "If he killed her, he would've had to do something with the body." "what is it now?" "what do you people want?" "Bear with us, Mrs. Green, huh?" "You're not making sense to me here, Frank." "Those tools you showed me were clean." "They weren't part of his torture kit, Bletch." "He was using it to hide the body." " Frank!" " Come on!" "This is new." "No." " She's warm." " Thank God." "Let me get a paramedic." "Oh, baby." "Oh, baby." "Oh, baby." "Oh, baby." " Hey, Frank." " Hey, Bletch." "I just wanted to give you the rundown... before Tom and Helen came back from the hospital." "Bad news?" "The old man's got a good attorney." "We can't prove his involvement one way or the other." "He used his son to procure his victims." "He was the devil that Green couldn't escape." "Yeah, his..." "Green's shrink is working on him now..." " but his testimony won't be worth much." " Mm-mmm." "I'm sorry, Frank." "You saved Helen's life, Bletch." "It's your surveillance that forced him into hiding her in his house." " Hi, Bob." " Hi, Catherine." "Hi, Jordan." "How are ya doing?" " I heard you were sick." " Well, she's much better now." "Here's the little man you've been waiting to see." "Come on, sweetheart." "Let's take a walk." "Revision:" "Thor"
