"and the half ounce of skull" "And do you have the chormone oil, the homemade stuff?" "Chormone oil." "Mr. Dresden has a girlfriend?" "Joanna, please." "[Phone rings]" "Excuse me." "Hello." "Good morning." "Want to see a dead body?" "Killer took the hair and teeth." "Trophies, fetish, some freak show thing." "You tell me." "So, witnesses saw a dark haired man running through the woods?" "Thank you." "Running for his life." "Or running from the scene of the crime." "That's the question." "One thing for sure, she didn't make it." "Capture:" "FRM@MAOREN Sync:" "FRM@knlight" "And you searched the woods for the second body, the man?" "Nothing so far." "And we've checked the local hospitals." "Look at this." "She's been partially scalped and both upper-canines were extracted." "Oh, just the canines?" "By the roots." "Something else; we found a body in the river last week." "Jane Doe." "Teeth and hair?" "Taken." "RADIO:" "Murphy?" "What have you got?" "We got blood about 50 yards west of your position." "Copy, on my way." "Here and there." "Pictures and samples here." "Pictures and samples guys." "Come on." "Well there was a fight." "Blood could be your unknown male." "Or his attacker." "I also got the victim's roommate." "What's she doing here?" "Crying mostly." "Her name is Mina Watkins." "It was." "She was 24 years old." "Do you know what Mina was doing last night?" "She was on a date with a guy she met last week, on business." "He was in town." "Do you know his name?" "Jim something." "I don't think she ever mentioned a last name." "Can you describe him?" "I never met him." "Mina said he was athletic, brown hair." "She met him in a bar in South Bend." "We were there for work." "We work for a foundation that supports college alumni groups." "Were you with Mina the night that they met?" "Yeah." "I left early;" "I went back to the hotel." "Mina stayed." "Yeah, she said she got in a fight with some Britney Spears looking woman." "This woman, did you see her?" "I don't know, I might have." "What was the fight about?" "I'm not sure." "She just said this Jim guy came in, saved the day, got the Britney woman kicked out." "Do you remember the name of the bar?" "Kirby's." "Thank you Heather." "You've been very helpful." "Let us know if there's anything we can do." "I have to go home and call her mom." "Keep it." "Thank you." "The only signs of trauma are missing hair and teeth." "No evidence of sexual assault." "The roommate came and identified the shredded clothes we found in the park as hers." "They were ripped by dull blades of some kind." "How'd she die?" "I don't know..." "yet." "I do know that her heart stopped and then she died." "That's it?" "No, we found some silver powder in her nasal cavity and trachea and on her lungs." "What kind of silver powder?" "Best guess is its silver iodine;" "it's a photographer's chemical." "Old school, it's not digital." "What about the blood on the statue?" "Well, it's not hers; it's male." "That's all we got for now." "[Phone rings]" "Murphy." "I think you better get down here." "Can I help you?" "You Murphy?" "I'm Special Agent Kelly Raskin," "I'm with the FBI Memphis branch." "I've been tracking a killer who might be working in Chicago." "Is that Mina Watkins?" "Yes." "FBI will be taking over this case until further notice." "Sure." "HARRY:" "There's an old saying:" "Blood will out." "With a little blood a person like me can learn all kinds of things." "And that goes double for a friend of mine, and expert in all things dead, which makes sense, because he's dead." "Bob!" "Lovely." "You know..." "I really should get out more often." "Bob, let's go to the crime scene over there, come on." "Let's get this thing done." "Dresden!" "Please don't drag me around like an inbred cockerspaniel." "Well, keep up." "Is this her blood?" "I don't know." "Let's find out." "Here we go." "Do you know him?" "Never seen him before, but the girl was on a date so it's probably him." "And where is Romeo now?" "Missing." "Okay, let's take a look at the girl." "Do me a favour Bob, don't show her dead, because I saw enough of that this morning." "Got anything?" "[Growling/dog barking]" "That was the girl?" "Lichenthrope." "It's there, it's in her blood." "How'd she die?" "I taste silver." "We got a guy running through the woods..." "Perhaps she was hunting him and he defended himself..." "With silver?" "Then he took her teeth and her hair?" "I don't know." "Makes you wonder who was hunting who." "[grunting, panting]" "Ahh!" "When you examine Mina's body..." "Not my case anymore." "It's Federal." "Federal?" "8 bodies, it's a serial." "Mina was #8?" "Yeah." "Did you find any silver in her body, like a bullet wound or stab wound or... ?" "Yeah, in her lungs." "She inhaled it." "How did you know that?" "Lt. Murphy?" "Special Agent Raskin." "In your report you state that a Mr. Harry Dresden was with you at the crime scene." "Right." "He calls himself a wizard." "That's because I am one." "Tell me he's not serious?" "Completely." "Harry offers an unconventional point of view." "On this one he doesn't." "I don't want you talking to him." "I know your type." "You exploit fear and superstition." "You're a parasite." "And if you don't leave right now I'm going to have you arrested for hindering an active Federal investigation." "Bye." "HARRY:" "Disbelief, scepticism;" "hey, I get it." "If I didn't know what I know I'd be skeptical too." "I usually don't bother to set people straight but every once in a while there's someone I can't ignore." "Miss Brant please." "Miss Brant!" "I didn't think you'd show up." "I didn't either." "Would you like to come inside for a drink of coffee?" "Listen you left a message on my machine;" "you said you needed to talk about Mina, but I don't have a lot of time, so..." "I know you've talked with the police and the FBI..." "Yeah, so what, what are you gonna do?" "You gonna go through the same line of questioning a third time?" "Thank you, but no." "You feel it, don't you?" "There's something going on here about Mina's death." "Things you're not sure you can talk about with the police and FBI, because you don't think they'll believe you." "I will." "Do you want to come in now?" "Now you said there was a fight in the bar." "Yes." "Was Mina attacked?" "Something happened in South Bend, I'm just not sure what." "[music]" "HEATHER:" "We drove into town that morning;" "our meetings were done by five." "We killed some time in the hotel lounge and then we went to this place the concierge told us about;" "Kirby's Bar." "We must have been there maybe 20 minutes or so when I noticed this woman sitting at the end of bar." "I couldn't see her face, but it was about 10 minutes later that things started to get weird." "What do you mean by weird?" "It just was a bad vibe." "[music]" "And it felt like it was being aimed at me." "I know it sounds crazy but it felt like I was being singled out." "I tried to get Mina to go too, but she wouldn't listen." "I couldn't make her understand what I was feeling;" "that something was wrong." "I left." "You know, I think I walked right by him on my way out." "The man Mina was with in the park when she died." "I have a strange question." "In the fight Mina had with the woman at the bar, was she bitten?" "I don't think so." "She was scratched." "Are you sure?" "Well, Mina had these big marks on her shoulders;" "she thought they were from the woman's fingernails... but now that you mention it... it could have been from..." "Teeth?" "Yeah." "What happened next?" "Well we came back to Chicago." "What about Mina's injury?" "She didn't mention it again." "It went away." "But was she acting differently, anything at all?" "Well, she had a flu for about a day; she was feverish, sweaty, but it went away pretty quickly." "Yeah." "That's when he called." "Jim?" "He was in town." "She went out to meet him; he never came to the apartment." "Okay." "Wait, where are you going?" "South Bend." "I have to take a look at this bar." "Okay, let me come with you." "I don't think that's a good idea." "Mr. Dresden, I should have stopped her," "I should have dragged her out of there." "Please, if there's anything I can do to help..." "You can pay half the gas." "Thank you." "So this woman, where was she?" "She was there." "She was on that stool, the one at the end." "All right." "What time was this?" "I don't know, must have been around 11." "I'm sorry, what is it exactly that you do that the cops can't?" "I see things from a different perspective;" "from your perspective." "Why are you doing this?" "Because I'm the only one that can." "[dramatic music]" "What is it?" "Do you see something?" "Not yet." "What are you going to do with that?" "I'm going to put my hand on the back of your neck." "Is that okay?" "Why?" "Because I need to borrow some energy." "Everything's going to fine, I just need you to run with me, all right." "Okay." "All right." "Okay." "Just take a deep breath." "Look, I'm getting a head rush, I..." "It's okay, it's all right, it's all right, calm down." "Just breathe, breathe, steady." "What are you doing?" "Counting back the hours." "Now just steady, be still, just breathe." "Okay, look at the mirror." "Is that the woman?" "How did you do that?" "That's not good." "What, do you recognize her?" "Agent Baskin." "Federal agents!" "Do not move." "Get away from the girl." "Hands in the air!" "[Struggle]" "Will you get off of me... what are you doing with her?" "Where are you taking her?" "Heather, Heather!" "What's going on?" "We just saved you from a very dangerous man." "He's not dangerous." "It's you." "I saw you." "In the mirror, you were there, you attacked Mina." "Sorry to hear you say that." "What do you want?" "I want my life back." "HARRY:" "Animals, sometimes I think that's all we are, driven by instinct, the need to survive." "If you really want to see someone at their most primitive, all you have to do is throw them in a cage." "Where's Murphy?" "Murphy!" "Where is she?" "Harry Dresden." "Special Agent Zachary Bushnell, FBI." "Do you know him?" "You know what this is, right." "Silver Iodine." "We found it in your apartment." "It's the same substance found in the lungs of 8 murdered girls stretching from Memphis to Chicago." "Harry Dresden, you're under arrest for murder;" "8 counts." "Lock him up." "You find Heather?" "No, she disappeared after Raskin released her." "If she released her." "What do you know about Raskin?" "She's hard core." "She's been 9 years with the bureau;" "spent 2 years digging up mass graves in Bosnia for war crime trials." "Bosnia." "The rumour is she had a breakdown, got sent home early." "This is her first major case since she's been back." "What do ya know." "What are you thinking Harry?" "It's Bushnell and Raskin;" "they're in this together." "The blood in the park, it's his." "He's the John Doe." "He killed Mina Watkins." "And Raskin, she set the whole thing up." "They're FBI." "And then put me in this jail." "And Heather Brant is missing." "And if we don't do something about it - you know what happened to Mina Watkins, the same thing's going to happen to Heather." "Do you have any proof?" "Anything I can show a judge?" "The blood evidence at the statue." "Check it, its Bushnell's." "It's gone." "What?" "All of the blood evidence taken from the crime scene has gone missing." "Okay, well go back and get some more." "We tried." "The whole place has been wiped clean." "Who else could have done that?" "It has to be Bushnell and Raskin." "Listen to me Murphy." "If you don't find her, the next time you're gonna see her she's gonna be dead in a ditch somewhere." "Hey dog." "Mina." "This is a dream." "The nightmare is when you wake up." "I don't want to be here." "You need Dresden." "Get help." "There is no help!" "I'm sorry." "For what?" "For leaving you at that bar." "I got scared." "You were smart;" "you knew there was something wrong." "I saw it too and I ignored it." "I'm so sorry." "Just shut up and get out of here." "Find Dresden." "He's your way out." "[heavy breathing]" "Help me!" "Shh!" "Somebody need a cop?" "[lock clicking]" "[sigh]" "You killed Mina didn't you?" "I put her down." "There's a difference." "You put her down like a dog?" "Exactly." "You son of a bitch." "I did you a favour." "She would have ripped your throat out just as soon as look at you." "You're bleeding." "Nice try." "I can smell it." "Did Mina do that to you?" "Did it hurt?" "You know what, when it gets dark we'll take you outside and let you piss against a tree." "Don't talk to them." "How are you?" "Tired." "We're almost there, we're almost finished." "Just one more and we've reached the nine and this nightmare will be over." "Is she ready?" "Almost." "Take her to the park." "Let her turn in the killer." "It's gonna be okay." "We're gonna get you back." "Yeah, well I need to do something first." "What?" "Kill Dresden." "So your cop girlfriend, she always such a bitch?" "Shut up!" "What does killing me accomplish?" "Killing you brings her back to me." "[shouting]" "I'll be ripping your throat out now." "[sharp grunt]" "You bastards!" "You bastards." "It's about time." "There have been people turning this place upside down." "Fortunately they didn't find the lamp." "Where have you been?" "In Jail." "I escaped." "You're a fugitive?" "That's the least of my problems." "Heather is missing and the Fed in charge of this is a lichenthrope." "So the Federal agent's been bitten?" "No, she's the biter." "She's turning initial victims into lichens and her partner, also FBI is hunting them down for fun." "Sounds like a match made in heaven." "Okay, I need the spikes;" "I'm going after lichenthrope," "I need silver spikes." "Top shelf, red bag." "Thank you." "So you think Heather..." "Is going to the be 9th victim?" "Yeah, that's exactly what I think." "They killed 8 lichenthropes." "Well, that's quite a tally." "And I don't like that look." "It's not a tally, it's a recipe." "Recipe for what?" "A cure." "Kill nine, remove the sign;" "sign of the wolf." "They're following the blood line purge Arcana." "Very risky." "9 Lichens from the same blood line." "All of them have to be killed, and then the curse is removed." "If Heather is bitten and murdered." "I've got to find her Bob." "I think she's found you." "Heather!" "Heather!" "Help me..." "Are you all right?" "Something's wrong with me." "Okay, what is it, what are you feeling?" "I don't know." "Harry, she doesn't look well." "Heather, were you with agent Raskin?" "I was in a motel." "Was agent Raskin there?" "Yes." "Perhaps you shouldn't be so close Harry." "Bob, be quiet." "I'm concerned for your safety." "Heather, did she bite you?" "Did agent Raskin bite you?" "Yes." "Spikes are on the table." "Get out Bob." "She is not worth the..." "[Yells loudly] Get out Bob!" "[unclear] [growl]" "Easy!" "Heather..." "Do you smell that?" "Everything smells like food." "You, you smell like food." "Be strong Heather." "Be strong!" "[groaning]" "Harry I'm slipping away and I don't like it." "Kill me." "Please." "Ow!" "What happened?" "Let me see?" "No, I'm okay." "It's nothing." "I got hit the other night, but I'll be all right." "Just one more and then you'll be back with me." "Back for good." "Did you hear me?" "I love you so much." "Now let's finish this." "Don't drug me, I don't want to be drugged." "It's just tea, now breathe and relax." "Harry, I think I'm going to kill something." "Not tonight." "It doesn't have to control you." "Take this, take it." "That's it." "You're not afraid?" "No." "This is insane." "Yeah I know, but it's real." "Is this what happened to Mina?" "Yeah." "That FBI agent." "Yeah." "I want to kill her." "I know." "I want to kill you too." "Yeah, I know, but you won't." "I don't know, I think I might." "No, come here." "Feel that, that is your heart and it's a good heart;" "it's strong and it's in control and you're in control and you own this, this disease." "I've known others like you and they've made it." "How many made it?" "Enough for me to know that surviving this thing is possible." "I can't." "Okay, okay." "Let's figure this out." "Do you remember where they were holding you?" "Some motel, I don't know where." "Were you on foot the whole time, from the motel to the woods to here?" "What are you doing?" "Dialling my nose up to 11." "I'm gonna track your scent back to wherever they are." "[sniffing]" "I want to rip your throat out." "I'm willing to take that risk." "I'm not." "I trust you." "[sniffing]" "I have to go." "I smell her." "Yeah, me too." "She's here." "Okay, okay, you stand here." "Stay here." "[lock shuts]" "[tense music] [clatter]" "[clatter]" "[glass breaking] [clatter]" "[clatter]" "[gunshot]" "Where's the girl?" "Bushnell, Bush..." "[Growling sound]" "[Struggle]" "[Growling and struggle]" "Harry!" "Help me!" "[growling] [commotion] [loud thudding]" "[screaming] [loud commotion]" "Oh god." "[growling]" "Hey." "[gunshots] [loud growling] [intense music]" "Heather, no!" "Zachary!" "I guess I'm number nine." "Baby, baby you're free." "I love you." "I'm back." "I'm back." "I love you." "[crying]" "I'm back." "It's gone." "I'm back!" "It's gone!" "No." "Monster's still here." "Dresden?" "Hey." "You're no longer public enemy number one." "Well, at least not in their books." "So what's gonna happen to Raskin?" "Well, if she ever gets out of the strait jacket in the rubber room, three States are looking to pursue the penalty." "Bushnell was the lucky one." "Hey, do you want to get a beer?" "What?" "I dragged you into this, it's the least I can do." "You know..." "I'd love to." "But right now I'm gotta visit a friend." "Rain check?" "Yeah, rain check." "Sure." "You sure about this?" "Leaving town?" "Yes." "Thank you." "Well..." "I'll be okay." "Yeah, you'll be fine." "You stay on that elixer." "You can get the ingredients almost anywhere, but if you have a problem you call me and I'll get it straight out to you, all right?" "See, now you're just repeating yourself." "If I keep talking then you don't leave." "If this is going to work I need to do it alone." "I need to convince myself that I can." "I'm already convinced." "I'm walking out the door..." "now." "[breathing heavily]" "Here, this is yours." "Keep it." "She'll be back." "Yeah, maybe." "Maybe someday she'll slip up and I'll have to hunt her down and kill her."
