"It's a damn nightmare." "Two casualties." "But it looks like Baldwin is gonna make it." "Good." " What's that?" " St Ignatius's high school yearbook." "Glee club, track." "He read books to the blind." ""We are all shepherds. "" "Some more than others." "He's videotaping his victims." "He put 'em over these movie titles." " I'll have someone look at 'em." " Someone you trust." "What's that supposed to mean?" "The explosion targeted personnel, leaving all this evidence intact." "This guy didn't plant it." "Agent Baldwin, can you tell me what you were doing when this happened?" "Can you tell me what city we're in?" "Do you know today's date?" "The year?" "Mental status exam - person, place, time." "My head's fine." "There you go." "You've got a major piece of shrapnel in your chest." "It's close to your heart, but there's not a lot of blood." "Looks like it missed all the major organs." "You got lucky." "Can you feel that?" "Yeah." "That's gotta hurt." "Call the hospital." "He's bleeding out." "This is Rescue 62." "Condition of male burn victim has escalated." "Is now a bleed-out." "We just learned that the explosion has claimed the life of another FBI agent" "Barry Baldwin, a ten-year veteran of the elite Critical Incident Response Group - boosting fatalities in this apartment explosion to three," "In the meantime, officials warn us to be on the lookout for this man," "Lucas Barr, considered to be armed and extremely dangerous," "If you see him, call the FBI at this number:" "1-800-555-0199." "That's 1-800-555-0199." "In other news, newly elected Israeli prime minister, Ehud Barak, announced today..." "So these home movies, what do they look like?" "He enters the victims' houses through an open door or window." "He tapes from that point until he kills them." "Sort of a Manson creepy-crawly thing." "It's a lot of tapes, mostly damaged." "It'd go faster if I had help." "I'd prefer it if few people as possible saw these." "Top-secret, I get it." "But you trust me." " Shouldn't I?" " What I mean is, I'm flattered." "Whoa." "Mr B might have something here." " Are you all right with this?" " Spooky, that's all." "McClaren called a meeting." "I'll be in conference room 3." "So Frank says this killer we're after didn't plant the bomb." " What does forensic say?" " Well, the preliminary report is 50 pages long and it avoids coming up with any kind of conclusion." " You gotta love the Bureau." " Yeah." "I'm..." "leaving it, Hollis." "Excuse me?" "What?" "I'll have... 30 years here in September." "I'm retiring." "Sir..." "We lost three agents." "It's normal to feel responsible." "It's been in the works for a long time." "Baldwin knew." "He was... set to take my place." "Now I have to replace him." " McGreevey's got a good track record." " But I am going to put your name in." "No, sir..." "I can't." "I would say that you're the only one who can." "We used to go after weird loners doing ungodly things in residence hotels." "It wasn't very pretty, but at least I understood it." "Now it's what?" "The Millennium Group?" "I mean, that's Frank's assertion." "Maybe yours." "Ex-Bureau guys with families." "I mean..." "I must have done 75 cases with Peter Watts and I literally just can't see it." "How the enemy ended up being us." "So far there isn't much proof." "Well, it's time to find out, one way or another." "All right, we've got a lot to cover." "There will be a memorial service for all three agents on Friday." "OK..." "A call to our 800 number has been traced to what is presumed to be two more victims at a single family residence in Bethesda." "Field agents are on the scene, so I'd like to adjourn this." "Frank, if you can make yourself available, please?" "Excuse me." "What does that mean, "presumed to be two more victims"?" "The bodies are missing." "Correct." "Crime scene details are consistent with the previous sites, but no bodies have been found." "OK, people." "You have your assignments." "Report to me as soon as you have anything." "Now, remember." "This one's important." " Take it easy, Mr Hollis." " Hold him down." "Daddy." "Daddy!" "What are you doing?" "What are you doing to him?" "You did this, you little bitch." "I'll kill you, I swear." "Normally, progression to late-stage Alzheimer's is accompanied by a decrease in motor activity." "In a sense, it's a merciful disease." "As patients grow more hostile, they grow less capable of acting on their aggression." "At least, that's usually the case." "What we're seeing here is a rapid deterioration of mental function without a corresponding reduction in physical strength." "Why?" "I don't know." "I've never seen it before." "Maybe he'd be better off at home with me." "He came after you with a gun." "That's why you brought him here." "Excuse me." " You think I don't see what you're doing?" " I hope you do see." "You can cure him because you made him sick in the first place." " No..." " Stay away from him." "And stay away from me!" "I understand your being suspicious, but you see the Millennium Group behind every tree." " You blame the Group for every difficulty..." " Don't even go there." "I show up for work this morning and out of the blue I am set to inherit McClaren's job because someone killed Barry Baldwin." " Lucas Barr did." " Yeah." "Did he?" "You want me in a position to get Frank out of the FBI." "You're way off base." "Explain the page I gotjust before the bomb went off." "It saved me from the explosion." "All I know about Baldwin is what I saw on TV." "As regards your father, there are hundreds of thousands of people who share his condition." "The difference is, he has a cure available." "Our offer still stands." "It's up to you." "Forensics has cross-matched blood samples from the couch." "Looks like it's Jeff and Lily Chambers, all right." "Any ideas what he did with the bodies?" "What about those numbers?" "The stations of the Cross." "You find any?" " Nothing." " My team, neither." "We looked pretty good." "It's right here, all of it, in this room." "Sickjoke, huh?" "Lining them up like they're watching TV." "Turn that television on." "There's the number - 14." "The final station of the Cross." "So, does that mean he's done?" "We got a call into our 800 number a few minutes after 11." "He was sitting here at that moment." "He caught it on the news." "He heard about the deaths of the agents." " It must have thrilled him." " I think he was horrified." "That's why he picked up the phone and called us, changing his pattern." "He didn't want Baldwin dead." "You're saying somebody did?" "Baldwin was in good shape considering, when they loaded him into that ambulance." " They murdered him." " Wait..." "Who did?" " The people that planted the bomb." " "People"?" " That's right." " Multiple?" "This killer's MO doesn't fit with an explosion." "He was caught off guard like the rest of us." "Someone wanted Baldwin dead." "Agent McGreevey, could you give us a second, please?" "Thank you." "They murdered him, Andy." " Scaife found this." "He made me a dupe." " What is it?" "You think multiple individuals were involved?" "I don't think it fits." " He was in my house." " I'm afraid so, Frank." "My God..." "Come on!" "Get out!" "This is on your head." "Go on, outta here!" "Get outta here!" "Go!" "I told you not to come near Jordan." "You came to my child." "It's over." " I did not." " It used to be Polaroids." "Now it's videotape." " What are you talking about?" " Lucas Barr." "Ed Cuffle reincarnated." "I collapsed the last time I came crawling to the Group." "You think you're gonna wear me out." "It's never gonna happen." "If Jordan's being threatened, it's not the Group." " No more lies." " It's not." "If it were the Group, I'd know." "But you don't." "Is that what you're tellin' me?" "I came here to put a bullet in you." "But I don't have to." "The Group will do it for me." "Who's there?" "Hello?" "It's just me." "You scared me." "You left your front door unlocked again." "I know, I know." "I promise to be more careful." "Oh." "Now the plumbers are saying it'll be a few more days before I can get into my apartment." " If that's OK." " Yeah, sure." "You'd tell me if I was in your way, wouldn't you?" "You're not." "You're not in my way." "I like having you here." "McClaren says you think Barry was killed on the way to the hospital." "McClaren send you down here?" "If someone killed Baldwin, he wants to know." "Except nobody really wants to know." "That's the problem." "McClaren's retiring in six months." "Baldwin was going to get his position." "Now I'm in line." "What's going on?" "I don't know." "The Group?" " Watts tells me they're not involved." " You talked to Watts?" "The Group's gonna need access to the FBI." "Sooner or later, they're gonna come to you." "I'm surprised they haven't already." "Don't mess with these people." "I know." "I know." "I know." "OK." "You know." "Pretty quiet." " Is something wrong?" " No." "I was just thinking." "Oh, watch." "There's something on the floor." " What are you watching?" " It's just an instructional video." " Turn it up." " Mm-mm." "No." "It's better quiet." "So, what is it?" " I said..." " I mean... what does it teach you to do?" "Carpentry." "I was thinking of building some shelves." "Does that mean... you're gonna stay a while?" "The girls are both asleep." "I'm sorry." " I'm so sorry." " They'll be fine." "Are you OK?" "I'm, uh... trying to find out." " Checking on that serial case?" " Uh-huh." "There's no Group involvement." "None that I can see." "Good." "It's not like Frank to be wrong." "Not about something this important." "My God, it's full of stars." "Watts." "This is Watts." " Who is this?" " It's me." "Did you call just a second ago?" "No." "Why?" " I need to talk to you." " Not now," " I can't go through with it." " Not on this phone." "You hear me?" "Where is he?" " Where is he?" " Emma, is there a problem?" " What have you done with my father?" " He's fine." "The car left ten minutes ago." " What car?" " What do you mean?" "What car?" "I transferred him back to your apartment like you asked." "Thanks for coming." "I know it wasn't easy for you." "You said you had something about Jordan." "That killer you're tracking, why do you think the Group's involved?" "You said Jordan." "That's the only reason I'm here." "Do you have any evidence?" "It might be the Group, Frank." "That's why I ask." "I wanted to find out about this killer, about the tape you saw of Jordan." "I was locked out." " What did they do to him?" " I don't know that they did anything to him." "Sure you do." "Think about who they are." "You've always seen the Group through clouded eyes." " No, I saw clearly." " Our faults, yes, but never what we were attempting to do." "Man has made a mess of Eden." "Our greed is only eclipsed by our tribal stupidity and our brutality." "We are rushing toward an apocalypse of our own creation." " This is cult propaganda." " No, fact, Frank." "Maybe not the end of the physical world, but the end of a world worthy of human life." "That's what the Group was trying to prevent." " You mean, control." " No, no." "I mean, attempting to preserve human values that are worth preserving." " We're shepherds, Frank, all of us." " What did you say?" "Choosing the future." "It's already happened, Frank." "The breakthrough came about a year after you captured Ed Cuffle." "And it wasn't cloning or genetic engineering or anything you might expect," "Millennium Group scientists found a way to transport certain large molecules through the blood-brain barrier," "Nerve growth factors," "We can now effectively turn on what evolution has turned off, continuing in an adult brain the physiological process of learning and development that goes on in an infant brain," "30,000 neural connections forming every second of every day." "And not just during the first three years of life, but anytime we choose." "The greatest change in 400,000 years is available to us as a species." "It's a realisation of the old alchemical dream." "It was never about the transformation of lead into gold, but about the transformation of mankind." "We can transcend ourselves." "Is that what you call making another Ed Cuffle?" "That's what you say." "No, a killer in my house, videotaping my daughter." "Tell me." "Where do I find him?" "This is all I was able to get before they locked me out." "It's a list of Lucas Barr's aliases." "Have somebody you trust check 'em out." "They're gonna be watching you." "Why should I trust you?" "Because I've been protecting you, from them." "There's a packet that describes the Millennium Group's plans as they affect you." " Give them to me." " No." "If the protection I've provided begins to break down, I'll send it to you, as a warning... that none of us are safe." "Let me know what you find out." "I'm an alias enthusiast for someone new to the biz." "If one of these is Lucas Barr, I'll track him down." "Where'd you get this list from?" "Right, I hear you." "Thanks, Doug." "Mr B..." "I'm really sorry about finding that tape of your house." "That's all right." "I sit here wondering, "How does anyone get from here to... here?"" "Forget about these names." "That's the one he'll be using." "Danny?" "Danny?" "Danny?" "Sorry." "I didn't hear you." "I could hear you." " Are you done?" " Huh?" " With the shelves?" " Oh, yeah." "Just about." " I got spaghetti." " Oh." " I'll cook." " No, you finish what you're doing." " It's kinda stuffy in here." " Maybe I'll open a window." "This killer..." "Do you think he was created?" "I don't even know what that means." "Frank insists he couldn't have planted the bomb." "Explosives says he had the training." "Frank says Baldwin was murdered on the way to the hospital." "The pathologist says no." "He's all over the Millennium Group without naming anyone." "Now there's this Jordan tape." "Hollis?" "Are you all right?" "I saw him at the gun range." "Frank." "With a huge stack of targets." "He said he'd contacted Peter Watts." "I'm not sure "contacted" is the right word." "Police got a call from a neighbour on a domestic disturbance." "When the police arrived, Watts covered for Frank." "You should have told me about this right away." "I didn't want to." "Bureau rules leave you no choice but to get Frank out." " They got to you." " Are you listening outside my door now?" " What did they promise you?" " Hey, hey, hey." "Your father." "Is that it?" " Did they say they'd fix him?" " Leave him out of it." " Frank, calm down." " The reason I came back to the Bureau was to get to the Group." "You have been fighting me every inch of the way." " You are done here." " I'm done... wasting my time." "Daddy?" "Daddy?" "Is anybody here?" "Daddy." "Are you all right?" "You shouldn't have done it, Emma." "You shouldn't have done what they asked." "I didn't lose my job." "I mean, I know where it is." " Don't you always say I should work less?" " Not like this." " We'll talk about it when I pick you up." " Bye." "Ow!" "What is that?" "For when we have to go." "I want Mommy with us." "I gotta go." "I'm late." "Wait a minute." "What do you mean?" "We're not going anywhere." "We are all shepherds." "All Bureau property has been removed, as have certain personal effects deemed to have Bureau content." "A list of those items is available from the office of protocol." "Your telephone extension will be active for six months." "Calls to it may be monitored." "Your Centrex password has also been changed." "You may collect personal messages from the office of protocol." "Do you really think I care about any of this stuff?" "What was I supposed to do?" "He's my father." "Do what you have to do." "Danny?" "Danny?" "Yeah, I got it." "I guess they hung up." "Lucas, are you in there?" "Hey!" "Who's Lucas?" "Danny?" "Lucas, I'm Frank Black." "I'm not one of them." "I know what they've done to you." "I'm not here to hurt you." "Danny?" "Don't answer the door, Cheryl." "I said don't... don't answer it." "Don't answer it." "I can hear you." "You and Cheryl." "Let her go." "You don't wanna hurt anyone else." "Danny, what is he talking about?" "You're scaring me." "No!" "I said no." "Cheryl!" "No!" "Danny!" "Agh!" "Excuse me." "I didn't say you could KGB my stuff." "Who is Daniel Baron?" "Agh!" " Danny!" " Get back!" "No!" "Don't!" "Lucas, don't do this." "Get back." " I know what they did to you." " What?" "How do you know?" "I know what they did to you." "They admitted it." " Get back!" "I mean it." " Danny, please." "Please." "You shut up!" "You shut up!" "Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up." " Why did they choose me?" " I don't know." "No!" "Don't lie to me!" "Yes, you do." " I always had it in me, didn't I?" " We do." "We all do." " Agh!" " No!" "Don't!" " I didn't call 'em!" " I know." "I know." "That much I know." "I know everything now." "Too much." "Why Ed Cuffle did what he did." "Why he drilled holes in people's heads." "I do too." "I know." "I know, I do." "We are all sh..." "No!" "Oh, Jesus..." "Any unit, code 30, 10th and Juniper." "You wanna tell me what this is all about?" "Everything you need to know is there." "In that man's head." "When you're ready to do something about it, you got my number." "Next week, we'll look at something closer to home." "In fact, your own homes." " We'll be designing..." " Where's Jordan?" "Mr Black." "You can'tjust charge in here and take her." "Come on." "Mr Black..." "I've seen the future, where the battle between good and evil that has raged for millennia is concluded and the struggle for our hearts and minds is decided forever," "We survive, maybe, but only by discarding the question confusing us - what do I want?" " and asking what the world, what the universe wants and needs." "Asking what does life itself expect of me." "Which side wins, Daddy?" "That's what I'm saying." "It's up to us." " We are all shepherds." " Yes, honey." "Yes, we are." "I made this!"
