"Nicole?" "Can you hear me?" "Nicole." "If you'd like to make a call, please hang up and try again." "If need help, hang up and then dial your operator." "LONG DISTANCE" "Hello?" "You have one new message. 8:35." "Nick, it's mom." "Are you there?" "Where are you?" "I don't understand why you haven't called." "It's not too much to ask, is it?" "So call." " Hello." " Hi, mom." "It's me." " Nicole?" " Were you sleeping?" " No." " Yes, you were." "Well, okay." "Maybe a little." "What time is it?" "Well, sorry I didn't realize it was so late." "That's okay, honey." "What time is it?" "It's 1:30 here, 12:30 your time." " Is everything all right?" " Yeah." "Everything's fine." " Are you sure, you don't sound fine." " I'm sure." " I haven't heard from you." " I know." " I mean you're an adult, Nicole." " Mom." " And I really think you should call." " I've been busy." " I worry about you." " I'm fine." "Everything's fine." " So how's Chris?" " I wouldn't know." "Now what does that mean, Nicole?" "It means that I wouldn't know." "He's gone." "Nick." "I still don't understand, gone where?" "Mom, it means we broke up, okay?" " Do you understand now?" " But I love Chris!" "This is terrible!" " Was it something you did?" " Something I did?" "Something I did?" "Why do you always think everything's my fault?" "Nicole, he's the best boyfriend you've ever had." "I know you." "I'm sure you've overreacted to something like you always do." "Honey, I think you should do whatever it takes to get back together." "Tell him you're sorry, will you do that..." "Tell him I'm sorry!" "Tell him I'm sorry, mom!" "Mom, you're acting like you know something about this." "Well you don't know anything about this!" "What about what he did!" "Forget it, okay?" "Just forget it!" "Just go to bed and leave me alone!" "Bitch!" "Hi, you've reached Christine." "I can't come to the phone right now." "But if you'd like to leave a message..." "Nick." "How could you say it was something I did?" "You always assume everything is my fault." "I mean there's a lot that you don't know about Chris." "Well, I liked what I saw." "I know that you think he was perfect, but believe me, he wasn't." "Maybe you should just go to bed honey." "We can talk about Chris later." "Can we talk tomorrow?" "Nick?" "Fine." "Fine." "Good night." "Look, mom..." "Believe me, I'm not your mother." " Excuse me?" " You called here." " I think you have the wrong number." " I don't think so." "You wanna know why?" "Caller ID." "The machine picked up, remember?" "The machine, I'm sorry." "I must have misdialed." "Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you or anything." "Disturb me?" "Yeah, I was trying to call somebody else and I guess I just got the numbers mixed up." " Is that right?" " Yeah." "Okay, I have to go now." "I have somebody on hold." " No, you don't." " Yes I do, there's somebody on hold." "There's no one on hold." "You just don't wanna talk to me." " Yes, there is someone." " Whatever you say." "Assuming you're telling the truth, I'll bet I'm more interesting than he is." "How do you know it's a he?" "I don't think it's anybody." " You're right, there is no one." " That's better." "The truth does good, doesn't it?" " Look, I gotta go now." " Why?" "Because you're really weird man and my boyfriend might get jealous." " Your boyfriend?" " Yes, my boyfriend." "Well we wouldn't wanna make him jealous, would we?" "No, we wouldn't." "I'm gonna go now." "It's been real." " Has it?" " Bye." " What are you doing?" " Is this yours?" "It was off balance." "Looks like it's fixed now." " I should go." " Aren't you gonna do your laundry?" " I'll do it later." " Haven't seen Chris around lately." "Is that really your name?" "Freeman?" " What?" " Freeman." " That's what it says on the caller ID." " Why did you call me back?" " Cause I'm intrigued." " By what?" "Your voice, your name." "What is so intriguing about my voice or my name?" "Let's start with your voice." "It's easy hoarsen." "Okay look, I don't know." "And your name." "I'd like to know if Ann Freeman is free for real or for your name only." "For example as inner free spirit?" "Does Ann Freeman do what she wants to do?" "Is Ann free agent?" "The answer to your last question is no, I'm not a free agent." " You have boyfriend?" " Yes." " Can I speak to him?" " He's out." " It's pretty late, Ann." " He'll be here any minute." " Will he?" " Yes, he will." "Only cheaters and crazies aren't home this late at night." "Well he's neither." "I don't think he's coming home tonight." "Well you're wrong." "He shouldn't be out cheating on you, Ann." " Girl like you deserves better." " Okay, we're gonna wrap this up now." "Just tell me what your name is and set you free." "I don't think so." " Come on, I can't keep calling you Ann." " I don't think you should be calling me at all." "Okay?" "Good bye." "Hello, you've reached 6175558596." "Chris..." " So your boyfriend's name is Chris?" " It's non of your business." "You put his name on your message." "That's a sign of true commitment." "And I wanted to hear your name." " So what is it, Nelly?" "Nancy?" " Stop calling me, okay!" "I'm a little hurt, Ann." "You haven't even asked my name." "I don't wanna know your name, I just want you to stop." "Call me Joe." "As in just your average Joe." "Okay look, I'm gonna hang up now." "And I really don't want you to call me again." " Okay Joe?" " Come on, Ann." "Look, I'm serious." "Lose my number." " I can't." " Why not?" "I've already memorized it." "Machine off." "It's pretty late, Ann." "Only cheaters and crazies aren't home this late at night." "What are you doing down here?" "The breaker in my appartment blew again." "I'll take a look." "That'll do it." "Well, can you fix it so it doesn't keep happening?" " Hey, it's an old building." " Okay, thanks." "You're a friend of Chris?" "He's gone, isn't he?" "How'd you know?" "I haven't seen him around in a while." "You know, he likes looking in other people's windows." "I've seen him doing it." "Hello?" "Hello?" "It doesn't work." "Did you buzz me?" " Are you Nicole Freeman?" " Yes." "Detective Frank Halsey, Boston Police Department." "Can I come in Nicole?" "I need to ask you a couple of questions." " What about?" " Can we speak upstairs?" " Upstairs?" " In your appartment." "It won't take long." "Do you always keep this place so dark?" "I have to turn off the lights when I use microwave or it pops the breaker." " It's an old building." " I know this building." " I used to go here." " You knew someone that lived here?" "Believe it or not this was my middle school before they converted it." " So is your roommate around?" " No, that's just me." "Name on the buzzer says Freeman/Lundgren." "Ex-boyfriend, I have to change that." " So what do you do Nicole?" " I'm a grad student." "I'm working on my thesis." "You have some pretty interesting photographs here, who took them?" "My boyfriend." "My ex-boyfriend." " Your number 6175558956, right?" " Yes, what is this all about?" "It's about Christine Caplan, you know her?" " I don't think so, should I?" " You called her last night." " I did?" " Yes, you did." "Then she called you." "Three times." "Oh, that." "No, that wasn't her." "That was some guy." "A guy." "Yeah, it was probably her boyfriend." "I called him by mistake and then he kept calling me back." "I guess he wanted to talk or whatever." "What, did he file a complain?" "Cause he was the one bugging me." " That's not what this is about." " What then?" " You ever been to Overten Nevada?" " No, I don't think so." "Christine Caplan lived there." "She was murdered last night." "Oh my God." "They got your name and number on her caller ID and the phone records." "Police-in-chief in Overten said you called her place near at the time of the murder." "He wanted me to come down here and check you out." "Make sure there's no connection, make sure you're not involved." "Of course I'm not." " This guy, did he give you a name?" " Yeah, he said his name was Joe." "He did a whole thing about it, he called himself just your average Joe." " He didn't give you your last name." " No." "Did he seem agitated, did he seem relaxed?" "He didn't sound agitated." "Why do you think he kept calling you back, Nicole?" " I really don't know." " Okay." "If you remember anything else about this guy I want you to give me a call." "Use my cell." "Day or night." " Hello?" " Hello, Nicole." "It's funny the picture was with Nicole first." "Now I can picture you as anything else." "How did you get my name?" "I asked how you got my name!" "You live in an area code 617, it's close to Boston, it's surrounding suburbs?" "That the building you live in used to be a school?" "Stop calling me!" "Leave me alone!" "What?" "I don't like it when you hang up on me, I find it to be rude." "I'm gonna call the police." "I can tell you're an educated girl, Nicole." "Education to women isn't so easy as it is to men." "Maybe just regarding them." "You want me come to Boston to teach you manners?" "All the way from Overten, Nevada?" "Nicole I'm impressed, you've been doing your homework." "How could you!" " She was a whore, deserved what she got." " You need help." "No I don't, you do." "Are you a student?" "Yeah, you are." "Why would you live in that neighbourhood." " Is it safe neighbourhood?" " What do you want from me?" " Nothing, what do you want from me?" " I want you to stop calling me!" "You called me." "Don't reinvent history Nicole." " You called me." " Accidentally." " Is that what you think?" " I think that you're a really sick person!" "I think that you need professional help!" "Why don't you help me Nicole?" "You help me." "I feel safe speaking to you on the phone Nicole." "On a long distance call you can't hurt me and I can't hurt you." " I don't want you to call me anymore!" " I'm sorry you feel that way." "I think we have a lot to offer each other." "Anyway it's been nice chatting." "Hopefully we can do it again real soon." "The number of your last incoming call was 9705558901." " Hello?" " Who is this?" " Who are you looking for?" " I'm sorry is this 9705558901?" "Yes." " Oh my God, get out of there." " What?" "You have to get out of there right now." "There's a man in your house." " Listen, I just got home, I had a long day." " Please please, listen to me!" "I know this sounds really crazy, but there is a man inside of your house!" "He just called me, I just talked to him and he's already killed the girl in Nevada!" " Please get out of there now!" " Is this some kind of joke?" "No!" "It's not a joke, get out of there!" "Please get out of there now!" " Mom, there's a man in the hallway." " Oh my God!" " Get away from her!" " Please." "Don't hurt them." "Just let her go!" " Mommy, help me!" " Please!" "Yeah, I understand." "Okay, I'm over here now." "The call came from a residence in Brash Colorado, the authorities are over there now." "They are already dead." " I know it." "There's now way..." " Nicole." " You weren't here." "It was horrible!" " I'm sure it was, but..." "Frank Halsey." "Okay, thank you." " Well." " I'm sorry." " There's nothing you could have done." " What does he want from me?" " I don't know." " What if he calls again?" "I'm sure he's finished for the night." "If it will help, I'll stay downstairs in my car." "If you need anything I can be up here in a minute." "In the morning we'll get somebody put a tap to trace on the line, so if he calls again, we'll be ready for him." "In the meantime I think you should try to get some rest." "Mom?" "There's a man in the hallway." "Mom, help me!" "Normally we'd have either transmitter with wired taps or induction taps." "This is a wireless tap powered of the phone lined to the external power source for back-up just in case." "What I'm using here is infinity transmitter or harmonical bug." "It's got tone decoder for the target telephone." "This feed back to a hundred gate pot." "Back to the office which is used for volume." "I'm adding another 10-40K." "Normally the capacitor should beat point 4-7 MFD." "It's only purposes to prevent the relay from tripping." "Okay, you're good to go." "From here on we'll be receiving everything." "Voice, data." "Caller initiation IDs." "Do I have to push a button?" "No." "Phone rings, all you have to do is to pick up." "Any phone in the appartment, and we've got it." " That's not all I have to do." " No really, just pick it up." " I have to talk to him." " True." "I'm afraid that's true." "Anyway, the trace will start automatically." "The computers will crunch the data." "And in the couple of minutes a window pops at the line screen with an address." "You're in good hands, Charlie is the best." " So you're gonna be here?" " The whole time." "I'll be calling Frank with location and ETA of local units." "Then we'll need time, you keep him on the line." "Just keep him talking." "So I guess I'll be going." "If you need anything or if you have any questions..." " Thank you Charlie." " Sure." "And if you have any questions or if you need anything..." " Okay Charlie." " Right." "So bye for now." "And really, if you have any questions at all." "Out you go." " Now what?" " We wait." " A lot of books." " Do you read much?" "I'm ashamed to admit it, but I think the last book I read was in college." "And this was it." "It's a great book." " Good, at least I read one great book." " You can borrow any of them." "Most of cops I hang out with don't read much in their spare time." " What do they do in their spare time?" " Watch a lot of TV." "I see." "Look, if you have things you wanna do don't let me stop you." "I'll just sit over here on the couch." "You do have a television, don't you?" "So I guess I'll just sit here and read." "You were snoring." " Sorry." " It's okay." "I don't mind." " How is it going?" " Slowly." "What's your thesis about?" "Predictive models of individual rage in group behaviour." " I won't bore you with the details." " I'm sure it's interesting." " Can I read it when you're done?" " Yeah, do you really want to?" "Yeah, I deal with a lot of angry people." "Lot of rage out there." "You're ready?" "Hello?" "Hi, mom." "I know I should have called." " We got him." " Charlie." "10 Crest drive, Carson." "Our units are on their way." "Charlie, call them off." "It's her mother." "Mom, I don't wanna talk about Chris." "Out of sight - out of mind." "Can I call you back later?" "I have a friend over." "Yes, a male friend." "All right, I'll call you." "Bye." " What?" " Nothing." "I need a drink." "They let you drink on duty?" "Nope." "I'll take a soda." "Very fancy." "It's yours?" "No, my ex-boyfriend's." "He left it here." " Parting gift?" " No." "More like a reminder of a failed relationship." "So why did you break up?" "It was a lot of things." "Like?" " He wasn't always faithful." " Yeah, I know about that." "He had a wondering eye..." "So he's noticed other women." " You catched him cheating?" " I mean..." "I'm sorry." "How about you?" "Do you have a girlfriend?" "Nope." "You're looking in my social life." "Keep him on the line." " Hello." " How are you, Nicole?" "Did you enjoy your chat with that woman last night?" " The one in Colorado?" " The one that you killed?" "What do you got for me?" "It's a residence in Gottenburgh, Nebraska." "What did we you before we had stars 69?" "I admire your initiative." "Unites are on route, they should be there in 5-10 minutes." " Tell them to hurry up." " 5-10 minutes, sorry." "They gotta do better than that." "We can be quite a pair you and I." "You seem distracted Nicole." "Is somebody there?" "No, it's just me." "No it's not you, is it Nicole?" "How long do you need to keep me on the phone?" "Oh yeah, I've got someone here I want you to meet." "This is Tammy, say hello Tammy." "Please." "Please you've got to help me!" "Please call someone!" "Charlie talk to me!" "Talk to me Nicole, do you think this one deserves to live?" "Joe, let her go." "No, help me!" "You wanna save her, Nicole?" "You have to try harder than that." "Joe, let her go, you have to let her go!" "You know I can do whatever I want, can I Tammy?" "Help me!" "Please if someone's there can't you do..." "Desperation is so unattractive, isn't it Nick?" " Especially in the morning." " Joe, let her go, I mean it!" " No!" " What." "I think it's time for Tammy to say good-bye." " Say good-bye, Tammy." " No, no Joe." "Please don't." "I'm gonna set the phone down for a moment, Nicole." " Don't go anywhere, I'll be right back." " No, wait!" "Wait!" " You're still there, Nicole?" " Yes." "There's something I want you to hear, listen carefully." "Here, put the phone closer." "Do you know what that was?" "That was the death rattle." "It's the last sound a person makes before they die." "Kind of shakes you the first time to hear it, don't it?" "It was quietly after all." "I can't do this." "I know." "I'm sorry." "Yeah." "Okay." "You gotta wait." "They were too late." "I swear to God we're gonna get this son of a bitch." "You should go to bed." "I'll be out in my car, if you need me call me on my cell." "Do you have to go?" "Couldn't you just sleep on the couch?" "Sure I can do that." "Hello Nicole." "This one deserves to live." "Oh my Gosh!" "I'm so sorry." " Sorry about the..." " No, it's my fault." "I should have locked the door." " I'll make coffee." " Thanks." "What you're looking at?" "Our neighbourhood exhibitionist in appartment 215." " Do you think she's pretty?" " Did your boyfriend think she was?" "Frank Halsey." "Okay when?" "Right now?" "Perfect." "Yeah." "Okay." "Looks like we have company." " Who?" " The FBI." "Sending over a criminal psychologist." "One of their profilers." " I'll let her in." " I'll get changed." "Hello, you must be Nicole." "I'm special agent Margaret Wright." "Excuse me." "I have something I want both of you to hear." "This call came into the Riverside county 911 dispatch three nights ago." " 911." "What's your emergency?" " Well technically it's not my emergency." "Oh my God!" "You see, I'm in a house here in Barstow." "And there's a woman upstairs." "She's asleep." " I don't think she knows." " Knows what sir?" "That she's about to die." "Sound familiar?" "We've matched the voices, it's the same individual." "Let me show you something." " I hope you don't mind." " I guess not." "Okay, we have four crime scenes in four states." "He's moving west to east." "The four crime scenes share a pattern." "He forces each victim face down before killing them." "It's a way of depersonalizing them." "This individual obviously wants recognition for what he's done." "That's clear from the 911 calls." "And the calls to you." "He wants your attention, Nicole." "Ne needs your attention." "He enjoys manipulating you, it gives him a sense of power." "You can't let him do that." "Don't let him get to you." "Because when he gets you mad or scared, he's in control." "If he calls back tonight, I want you to take control of the conversation." "Do not let him think he's in charge, understand?" "Good." " He missed one." " What?" "He's made a stop in every state along the way." "Except one." "Utah." "How you're doing?" "You're doing all right?" "Yeah." "It was just getting kind of crowded in there." " She makes me uncomfortable." " Who, agent Wright?" "Special agent Wright." "What's so special about her, that she's a control freak?" "Give her a chance, she's doing her job." " He's getting closer." " We don't know that, Nicole." "Look at the map." "What's the matter?" "Nicole." "HAVING A WONDERFUL TIME." "WISH YOU WERE HERE." "JOE." "Yes, this is special agent Margaret Wright, code #7241." "I need you to get the police in Elgin, Utah." "To dispatch a couple of units to check an address for me." "465 Ottawa Lane." "That's right." "Ottawa Lane." "Advice in the use of caution, this is a potential homicide scene." "Thank you." "He may not have missed the state after all." "Too more." "A young married couple." "That makes seven now." "At least one in every state he's passed through." "What are you reading?" " Re-interpretations of Freud." " Freud?" "How retro." "Are you telling me that Freud isn't still required reading in grad school?" "Oh no, we read him." "For historical purposes." "I see." "I wanna show you something." "This is from the girl's appartment in Overten, Nevada." "The fingerprint." "So what?" "First we thought it was the victim's, but it's not." "It's our guy's?" "It's pretty bold of him." "So far there are no matches." "The print obscures Caller." "See what's left?" "ID?" " I think he's trying to tell us something." " What do you think that is?" "Well, for historical purposes Freud theorized that the mind was split among three lines." "The It, the Ego and the Super Ego." "The It is our subconscious." "It embodies all of our primal urges." "Everything that we've impress." "And I think this guy envisions himself as some sort of living embodiment of the It." "The It is for lack of a better word our free-selves." "Unincumbered from the rules of society." "This guy feels free to violate societal rules." "To kill whomever he feels deserves to die." "Yeah, he was obsessed with my name." " Freeman." " Really?" "Yeah, the first time he called he wanted to know if I was free." "Maybe for he's making a comeback after all." "You know you two can psychoanalyse what you want." "I just wanna catch him." "I'm going for a walk." "This picture." "Who is it?" "My ex-boyfriend." "That explains why it's faced down." "Recent break-up?" " Very recent." " Was he also a grad student?" " No, he was a photographer." " He took all these pictures of you?" "Yes." "He's talented." " How you're holding up?" " Okay I guess." "Well these phone calls with Joe can't be making it any easier." "That's true." "Frank's been a big help." "If he weren't here I don't know what I would have done." "That's his job, Nicole." "I know that." "But he didn't have to be so nice." " Why do you think he's being nice?" " Because I think he wants to help me." "I see." "You think he wants to help you." "Do you think you're good at reading people Nicole?" "Yeah, I think I can." "What you think psycho courses worked for you, ha?" " Don't you?" " Isn't that your job?" " Okay, tell me about me." " You?" "Sure, size me up." "Well, I think you're very dedicated." "Very consumed by your work." " More." " You're serious person." " Joyless." " More." " I think you're misanthrope." " More." "You enjoy the power that your job gives you but that's still not enough." "More!" "I think you're manipulative and self-aggrandizing bitch." "I tell you what." "That was pretty superficial." "You're talking about the shadows that I cast, not who I am." "You can do better than that." "Now let me tell you about you." "Why?" "So you can see how this is done by a professional, okay?" "Okay." "You have obsessive tendencies." "It could develop into something more serious." "You've imposed an order in your life as a way of controlling your anxieties and insecurities." "You are not smart enough." "Not pretty enough." "You get these insecurities from your mother who is probably a cruel and unfeeling woman who needs evidently more than what she gives." "Your father was probably a weak passive man who was manipulated and pushed around his entire life." "As a child you're perpetual witness to this pathetic spectacle." "I bet he died prematurely of a heart attack." "His only way of escaping from Mrs. Sarah Freeman." "If anything interferes with the order that you've imposed on your life, you first become anxious." "And then you get angry." "You see I think you are fully capable of real rage Nicole." "Channel it against Joe." "Put it to work." "That's how it's done in the big leagues." "Looks bad up there." "I think we may be getting a storm." " That's not what I think it is, is it?" " This agent Wright is hours of entertainment." "These crimes seem all look alike." "Why do you think he stabs them so many times?" "Overwhelming rage." "It's the only thing that extinguishes it." "Wasn't there her child and her husband?" "Yeah, he puts them in another room, out of the way." "I think they're more of inconvenience than anything." "Anger seems to be directed more towards the women." "I'm gonna go hit for the hotel." "If Joe calls again, reach me on my cell." " I don't wanna see him." " I know." "Hello." "You have a collect call from..." "Your average Joe." "To accept the charges please say yes." "Yes." " Okay where is he?" " Collect calls aren't easy to trace." "Hello Nicole, did you get my postcard?" "Yes." "That's very picturesque." "It's 45 seconds Charlie, what do you mean you don't have it?" "Why are you doing this Joe?" "What do you have against women?" "Did your mother neglect you as a child?" "What?" "Come on Charlie." "Come on!" "Did your father beat you, did your mother let him?" " You're kidding, right?" " Did something happen to you?" "Did your wife leave you, did you lose your job, is that what set you off?" "Am I getting close Joe?" "You're trying to penetrate my head Nicole?" " I don't think you wanna go there." " No?" "Then why do you keep calling?" " You called me first, don't forget that." " No, I didn't!" "It was an accident." "I could hear in your voice the first time we talked." " You're very troubled girl." " I'm troubled?" "I mean it, Nicole." "You're the one who needs serious help." " That's coming from a serial killer." " You don't know me Nicole, but I know you." "You're the one with skeletons in the closet." "Some nights you can't sleep, can you?" "You toss and turn and anxiety eating you up." "The anger of a loneliness." "Let me ask you something Nicole." "Why are you alone?" "Are you frigid, Nicole?" "Is that why you're alone?" "Where's your boyfriend, Nicole?" "Too many questions?" "Okay, let's go to something way easier." " How close is one to zero?" " What?" "On the phone how close are those two numbers?" "I don't know, why?" "Because if you really did call me by accident like you claim, then there must be somebody you're trying to call that night." "How many variations can there be on one number?" "I did some research Nicole." "And you know what I found out?" "There's a woman in Carson named Sarah Freeman." "Now her number is the same that girl I visited in Nevada." "The only difference is that's going to 712 instead of 702." "Where are you?" "I think you already know, don't you Nicole?" " Where is he?" " We're working on it Nicole." "Where is he calling from?" "Where is he?" "They phone call came from inside your mother's house, they have cars on the way!" "God damn it, how long?" "Mom?" "Mom?" "Are you there?" "Mommy, please." "Charlie, pass me through the local sheriff." "Sheriff, I've got detective Halsey on the line from Boston." "Yeah, okay." "Sheriff, are you there yet?" "We're approaching the house." "Everything looks normal." "You boys, you go it on back." "Okay, door's unlocked, we're going in." "Okay, we're inside." "Living room's clear." "Kitchen." "Check the kitchen." " Jesus!" " What is it?" "Back door's opening." "For Christ's sake!" "Hold your fire, hold your fire guys." " Ma'am." " What is going on?" "Ma'am, are you all right?" "You were just walking your dog." "Can I talk to her?" "Can you put her on?" " Mom?" " Nicole, what's going on?" " You're okay." " Nick, what is happening?" "Nothing mom, everything's fine." " I'll explain everything when it's all over." " What is all over?" "What are you talking about?" "Look mommy, I gotta go now okay?" "Everything is okay." "Just a false alarm." "Just do what the police tell you, okay?" " Nicole?" " Mom, I really gotta go now." " Call quite soon." " No Nick, wait a minute." "You still think you're smarter than me Nicole?" " What do you want from me?" " Do me a favour." "Don't ever try to penetrate my head." "It's not pretty in there." " What do you want from me?" " You don't know?" "No!" "Of course not!" "Why don't you tell me?" "Gotta go, I'll be seeing you." "Yeah." "Okay, thanks." "He was on a cell phone this time." "Possible one of his victims." "A couple in Utah." "They can't trace him." "Look Nicole I know this is rough on you, you just gotta hang in there." "When I woke up this morning, for a second I forgot about everything." "I felt normal." " Then it all came back." " I know." " Can I tell you something?" " Yeah." " You've been really great." " Just doing my job." "That didn't come out, I meant it." " Why did you mean it?" " I wanna be here." "I wanna keep you safe being here even if it wasn't my job." "Why don't you get some sleep, you know." "Don't worry, I'll be right here on the couch." " Who is it?" " It's Frank." "Sorry it took so long." " He didn't call, did he?" " No." "You're not hungry?" " Wanna egg roll?" " Maybe later." "Nicole, I'm just gonna..." "On no, no, no, don't use the microwave!" " What did I do?" " You blew the breaker." "I gotta get out to take care of it." " Where is it?" " It's in the basement." "The end of the hall." " And this time it's pulling there?" " It's been out here since I've been here." "It's too bad." "I used to love that womb." " Hello?" " Nicole." "Where's Frank?" "He's down in the basement, he'll be back in a second." "Listen Nicole, we pull the cell phone records on the phone Joe was using last night." "After he hung up at you he placed a call to one of the airlines." "What?" "The car of one of his victims was found at Chicago O'Hara." "He got on plane, we don't know where he is yet." "You and Frank stay where you are, tell him I would be there really soon." "I'll tell him." " Nicole." " Yeah." "Please be careful." " Hello." " Hello Nicole." "Looks like we're having a bad weather." " Nicole, are you still there?" " I'm here." "Are you alone?" "Ohh, that one was close." " Where are you?" " Go to the window." "Did you hear me, go to the window." "That's good." "I knew you were going to be pretty." "Oh my God!" "This can't be happening." " Who is it?" " Frank." " What is it?" " He's here!" "What?" "Where?" " Downstairs!" " Are you sure?" "That's him!" "He's trying to get in." "Stay here." "Mrs. Norris!" "Did you let anyone in downstairs?" "Yes, a nice man, he said he was a friend of yours." "Where did he go?" " He did wanted to surprise you." " Where did he go?" "He took the stairs!" "Okay, you better come with me." "Just leave it, come on!" "Get back into the appartment and lock the door!" "Nicole, it's me." "Checked the stairways, all the hallways." "There's no sign of him." "You're okay?" "FBI agents are on the way, we're just gonna sit tight and wait for the cavalry to arrive." "He seemed like a very nice man." "Can I go home now?" " Are you sure it was him?" " I'm sure." " Did you get a good look at him?" " No!" "We checked that room." "The place is clear, there's no sign of him." "Okay, you know what?" "He's playing with us." "I don't wanna be here anymore." " Frank, I wanna leave." " No, we're all gonna stay here tonight." "Don't worry Nicole, you'll be safe." "Agent Turner and I will watch the front of the building." "Agent Wilson and Davis will watch the back." "There's only two ways in and out of the building." "Frank will stay with you in the appartment." "It's okay, you'll be safe here Nicole." " Do you like to cook?" " Sure." "What can you make?" "In about five minutes I'm gonna be able to make that." "My mother used to make something like that when I was a kid." " What were you really like back then?" " Why?" "When you were a little kid." "And went to school." "You know where we are right now?" "This appartment?" "This is where the principal's office was." "I remember it because I know that view out of the window." "I used to spend a lot of time in the principal's office just the kind of kid I was." "I have a bad feeling about this." "Nobody's gonna get past FBI agents and nobody's gonna get past me." "I'm serious." "Nothing's gonna happen to you, cause I'm not gonna let it happen to you." "Nicole, this is gonna be over soon." "Then what?" "Are you sure you wanna sleep on the couch tonight?" " Is everything okay up there?" " Yeah, yeah, everything's all right." "Okay, just checking." "Listen, I want to but we cannot do this tonight." " You gotta trust me." " I do." " Cooking." " Cooking." "Nicole." "Nicole?" "What the hell is going on up there?" "Stay here!" "No one leave!" "Davis?" "Wilson?" "Davis?" "Wilson?" "Oh my God." "Oh Jesus." "He's gone." "He's gone!" "I shouldn't have fucking let you use her like bate." "Frank, I've lost two men, Nicole is missing and Joe is somewhere close." "I'm not gonna argue with you now." " It was my job to protect her." " It was both our jobs." "Well then we both failed!" "Hello, is anybody there?" " Listen you fuck!" " No you listen." "I'm in charge and I always was." "You just never knew it." "You hurt her, I'll fucking kill you!" "Now you stay right there." "I'll be in touch." "Jesus Christ!" "Rise and shine Nicole." "It's your wake-up call." "Please don't kill me." "I'm not going to kill you." "What do you want?" "Want?" "I don't want anything." "I'm here to help you." "I don't want you to help!" "I don't want you to help!" "Do you know who I am yet?" "No!" " Come on, you know." " No, I don't!" " Would you like to see my face?" " No!" "No!" "Why?" "Are you afraid of what you might see?" "Why are you doing this to me?" "I'm not some horrible monster, I'm just like you." "I'm doing what you want me to do." "That's why you called me." "I never called you!" " Yes you did." " No!" "I want you to stand up now, Nicole." "Stand up!" "Now open the door." "Let's have a good look, Nicole." "Look at that whore." " No." " Please." "No!" " Frank Halsey." " If you want her, come and get her." " Where?" " I'm working on it man." " Hurry up." " Hold on." " Where?" " Hold on." " God damn it, Charlie, where is she?" " He's in your fucking building man!" " What?" " Appartment 215." "Shit!" "It's okay, it's okay." "It's okay." "You're gonna be okay." "It's okay, I've got you." "I got you." "It's okay, you're gonna be okay now." "You're gonna be okay now." "I never gonna leave you again." "It's all over Nicole." "It's over, I'm gonna take you to the hospital now." "What's your name?" " Nicole." " Nicole Freeman?" "Yes." "I'm detective Robinson and this is detective Keating." " We'd like to ask you a few questions." " Is that blood?" "Blood." " Do you feel up for talking?" " About what?" "Chris Lundgren, your boyfriend." "That's what this is about?" "When was the last time you saw him?" "Eight days ago." "We broke up." "His parents say he was setting home to Overten, Nevada." " That's right, he was gonna drive." " He never arrived." "Never called." "His car's parked outside with a fistful of tickets on it." "What?" "He's been missing for over a week." "His parents are frantic." "You were one of the last persons to see him." " Do you know where he is?" " No." " Hello?" " Hey Nicole." " Where are you?" " Closer than you think." "But that's not important." " Are you tracing this?" " No, not tracing it." "You have to trace it." "He could still be here, he could still be in the building." " You have to stop him." " Stop who?" "Who's on the phone?" "Hey Phil!" "Better have a look at this." "I've gotta go now Nicole." "But I'll always be here for you." "Anytime you need me." "Just call." "Give me the phone, Nicole." "Hello?" " There's no one there." " No, he's here!" "He's here!" "Just ask Margaret Wright, she'll tell you all about Joe." "If you'd like to make your call, please hang up and try again." "If need help, hang up and then dial your operator." "Nicole?" "Can you hear me?" "It's doctor Wright." "Nicole." "Nicole." "How long has she been like this?" "Half an hour, maybe more." "The time it took you to get over here." " She needs to be hospitalized." " That's okay with us doc." "As soon as we book her for murder." "Didn't you notice anything?" "She said she was upset about her boyfriend leaving her." "And she didn't feel like herself." "But I didn't think..." "I told her, any time you need me just... just call." "Do you understand now?" "It was never about me." "It was always about you."
