"I'm running this in a fake virtual machine." "Watch what happens when I accept his offer." "Now, he's stealing my financial data and all my passwords." "Which I happened to have gathered in a file called "passwords. "" "Nice touch." "I threw in a backdoor Trojan so we can see what he's doing with it." "He's run up a quarter-million dollars in fraud the past three weeks." " Well, what's he into?" " High-end tech and low-end porn." "God." "You sure it's a guy?" "If it's a woman, she could be my soul mate." "Send it over to me." "There you go." "My dummy Capital One card." "Hope he goes for it." "Okay, I see it." "I'm surprised he has the patience for auctions." " Oh, you've got him now." " Okay, there's his IP address." "Let's get his physical one." "Portland Police sent this over." "They weren't sure what to do with it." "Thank you." " It is a woman." " ER nurse, lives alone." "No priors, no history of online purchases." "It's not her."

"I got this retired high school principal offering to come over to where I'm babysitting." "He's got so many chats, he can't keep his names straight." "He keeps calling me Jill instead of Molly."

"Get your hands up!" "On your stomach!" "On your stomach!" "On flawless, cut Natalie K diamonds." "Huge savings on one-karat diamonds." "Presented by the LaRog Brothers." " What the hell is this?" " I don't know." "I'm running it down now." "It is streaming live." "Just when you thought you've seen it all." "Oh, look, a message from our sponsor." ""Ha-ha." "Only serious. "" "Jennifer Marsh, Cyber Crimes." "Carter Thompson here." "I'm at the Barrow residence." "The suspect's in custody." "Hard drive's intact." " Plenty of contraband." " Good work." "Hey, let me guess." "It's not just Barrow." "His son's involved." "He's got a son?" "What makes you say that?" "Well, high-tech toys and porn and then out of the blue, he buys a gold wristwatch." "How come?" "And then it hit me." "01-10-57." "Sunday's his father's birthday." "Sweet dreams, Marsh." "Good morning." "We'll return to America News Radio after the local news and weather."

"The hurricane system that has poured 3 inches of rain on western Portland in the past 24 hours has finally let up." "Though there is no sign of an easing of the near-freezing temperatures..."

"That was the cat's name." "The owner, Scotty Hillman, 26, from West Linn says she was snatched a few days ago from his lawn during a yard sale." "He recognized her fancy collar." "West Linn." "So this site which could have originated anywhere from Oslo to Istanbul..." "Is local." "Yes, sir." "The odds of that are pretty steep." "About a million to one, if it were a coincidence, which it's not." "The only way we found out about this is because it was tipped to the county sheriff's office and the police within minutes of it going up." "Both tips came from a pay phone in the central city so whoever is behind the site is local and wants attention." " Shut him down." " I just did." " There you go." " I'll type the address in again." "It's been doing that all night." "The site's IP changes constantly." "Each new address is an exploited server that's running a mirror of the site." "The site's Russian name server uses a low TTL so your computer constantly queries the name server's record." "That's how it gives you a new address consistently." "There are thousands of exploited servers on the Internet so he won't run out of victims soon." "He's accessing these machines so quickly he's got to be running his own botnet." "We are blackholing these IPs but every time we shut one down, a new mirror pops up." "I don't understand a single word you just said." "What does Russia have to do with this?" "The domain registrar and name servers are all in Russia." "We have no jurisdiction there." "Jennifer it's a cat." " Yeah." "Considering the state of the world, aren't there more important things to be concerned about, like something under our jurisdiction?" "Back to work, gentlemen." "Things are about to get warmer when one of the hottest hockey rivalries..." "Are you the guy?" "You got the extra ticket for the hockey game?" "Grandma!" "Grandma!" "Grandma!" " Did you get it?"

"Mom, please!" " Okay, okay." "Come on, baby." "Let's get you out of these clothes." "I've been monitoring the site all week." "Nothing but a still of the dead kitten." "Last night around 11, the site went down, I'd hoped forever." "Anyway, a few minutes ago, this." "It's the same basement still streaming live." "The top is the number of active viewers and some chemical-dosage flow." "He's carved the name of the website into the guy's chest." "He's threatening to drain him." "Threatening to drain what, his blood?" "How's he gonna do that?" "Those letters aren't any deeper than paper cuts." "Not the cuts, it's the bleeding." "We think that box regulates the fluid going into the victim." "Those cables are probably connected to our guy's computer." "Look, his nose is starting to bleed and he's bruising." "We think those bags have some anticoagulant in them." "I've got a list of them right here." "The most common is heparin." "If you get the dose right, you save a life." "Wrong, you've got a hemophiliac." "So the more people who visit the site, the more the drug is released and the faster he bleeds." " That's what we believe." " Well, isn't that wonderful?" "Well, if that counter is accurate, the public would seem to agree." "They're tuning in at an alarming rate." "The victim's name is Herbert Miller, 54." "Lives in Sellwood, works for Burnside Executive Charter." "Friday night, got back from a shuttle to Mount Hood, called his wife says that he gets an e-mail from a friend of a friend offering center-ice seats to the Winter Hawks game." "He promises he'll be home afterwards." " He wasn't." " Any priors?" " Who, Miller?" " Why is that relevant?" "Remember that snuff film sent to the L.A. Office last year?" "Teenage geisha cut in two." "Looked as real as anything you saw." "Six weeks later, they found her alive and well, waiting tables in Little Tokyo." "Maybe Miller's involved somehow." "Maybe there's a connection." "What are you doing to me?" "Mrs. Miller!" "Just go away." "Just leave." " Okay, folks, one side, please." " I don't know." "Come on." "Police." "Coming through." "Mrs. Miller." "Back off." "Back off." "Mrs. Miller." " Portland Police." "May we come in?" " Thank God you're here." "I need you to back off right now." "My name is Detective Box." "This is my partner, Detective Moy." "Listen, is there someplace else we can talk?" "Yeah, let's go outside." "Oh, shit." "Fuck!" "So, Mrs. Miller, when was the last time you saw your husband?" "Yesterday morning." "He called, and he said he'd got tickets to the Winter Hawks game last night." "He likes hockey, and I just wanted him to come straight home." "Okay." "Listen I understand what you're going through is very difficult." "All right?" "But you're making it worse by talking to the press." "Don't talk to the press." "Do you understand?" "Listen." "Don't talk to the press and stay off the computer." "Okay?" "Listen to this." "I'm running the logs from that mirror we took down." "He's blocking all the foreign IPs." "Only Americans can gain access to the site." "How patriotic." "We've scanned every newsgroup, chat room, blog, website and forum referencing "Kill With Me," and I think we found our first post." "It appeared just before the site went up, then it was spammed Web-wide." ""A cat caught in a rattrap." "How's that for irony?" "It's streaming live on killwithme." "Com." "It's awesome." "Check it out. "" "It was posted by a sophomore named Andrew Kilburn." "It came from his account, but it didn't actually originate from his computer." "So our guy hacked his account and used it to start the thread." " Yeah." " Let's go after the originating IP." "Oh, God." "It's too bad this guy wasn't a Boy Scout." "He could just blink Morse code and tell us where he is." "Okay, I've got the "who is. " It comes back Blue Sky ISP." " Username and password, please." " Coming to you now." " "Chang's Restaurant"?" " He hacked into their site?" "No." "No." "Half the office eats there." "He's messing with us." "He wanted us to find this." "Who the hell is this guy?" "Jennifer Marsh, Detective Eric Box." "Portland Police has him on the Miller abduction." " Jennifer's our case agent on this." " Case agent, sir?" " You caught it, you got it." " Please." "Sir, anyone else." "You know I'm on nights because of my daughter." "I understand that, but you're it." " We forming a task force?" " Not yet." "Not yet?" "How much more do you need?" "So far we have one dead cat and a man who may or may not be in danger..." "That's today." "You think this is it?" "It's just the beginning." "Marsh, hold it." "You share what you've got, and then you take it from there." "Appreciate your coming in, detective." "All right." "You first." "Well, we found Miller's car in the Rose Garden parking lot." "No prints but his own." "We passed out photos of the basement to some local contractors." "They say, judging from the timbers, the house was built in the '20s or '30s." "Which narrows it down to, you know, half the city." "Yeah, what else?" "Miller appears to be a decent guy." "He's a Vietnam vet coaches his daughter's soccer, they go to church every Sunday." "So why'd the subject pick him?" ""Subject"?" "Are we in science class?" " What would you prefer?" " How about "piece of shit"?" "Why Miller?" "I don't know." "Maybe it was random." "What about the kitten?" "Talk to that guy?" "Scotty Hillman, yeah." "He's a fucking jackass." "All he cares about is getting the kitten's collar because he paid 12 bucks for it on bidityours." "Com" "Which I suppose is a lot of money if you're flipping burgers." "What I would like to know is, why him?" "Why his kitten?" "Why take the risk of stealing when you can get one free at any shelter?" " What do you guys got?" " It's a website." "It's like nothing we've ever seen." "It's extremely sophisticated." "As long as its source-streaming site is a ghost, it's untraceable." "This guy can invite the world to help him kill Miller or anybody and there's not a goddamn thing we can do about it." "Excuse me." " It's over." " Yeah." "The numbers, they just... exploded." ""Rolling on the floor laughing." "Thank you for... "" ""For all your support." "More to come. "" "Well, we'll see about that." "It's a jungle in there." "Hey, I just went to the site after the guy was dead..." "I got a list of assholes my girlfriends and me think he ought to kill next." "Last seen five days ago, FBI agents have been working around the clock..." "There's a pickup truck." "What's that on the back, a gun rack?" "Yeah, well, there's no way that freak is stepping foot in my dad's country club." "So call Tucker." "At 7: 15 am. a vehicle at the home of Oregon congressman Joseph A. Restom." "Herbert Miller had been the focus of an intense local and statewide police and FBI search since midday Saturday when he showed up on an Internet website being tortured and murdered live." "Now, because of the uniqueness of the crime, and because the FBI is able to provide resources critical to this investigation they will be leading the interagency task force assigned to the case." "He flew helicopters for a living." "What's his connection to a U.S. Congressman?" "Our guy had to dump the body." "Why not on a national stage?" "You think he did it to get a press conference?" "Build up his fan base?" "Don't call them fans." "They're accomplices." "All right, whatever." "Why'd he choose Restom?" "He's owned by Silicon Valley." "He sits on the House Judiciary Committee on Net neutrality." "No restriction on content, all traffic treated equally." " Wouldn't our guy be for that?" " You'd think so." "Miller's clients were corporate executives." "Maybe some were from high-tech." "I'll track down a customer list." " What about the neighbors?" " One saw a van drive by at 4 a. m." "Another heard a car door slam a minute later." "Figured it was the paper being delivered." "Excuse me a second." "Might have something here." " What is it?" " Tip just came in through a hot line." "Guy named Arthur James Elmer, an engineer at Chadwick Technologies." "He was fired six months ago for installing a wireless Webcam in the men's room." "Nice." "Anyway, he's been talking about killwithme. com nonstop ever since the kitty died." "Wanna ride with us?" "Let me check this guy out on my end." " We'll catch up later." " Yeah." " So, what's going on?" " He won't let us in." "Kind of shy." "Elmer." "Look, if you didn't do anything, you got nothing to lose letting us in." "And if you did, we can always come back with a warrant." "So how do you wanna play it?" "Hi." "I'm Detective Box." "Unusual name." "Well, it wasn't up to me." "So you really think I killed that guy?" "I don't know." "Did you?" "Well, I'm flattered." "I found it highly entertaining, especially at the end." "The way viewership increased exponentially like some sort of epidemic." "Can I see the basement?" "You like movies, huh?" "Yeah, who doesn't?" "Me." "Burn your own copies?" "You know that's illegal, right?" "Can't say they didn't warn you." "Got our proof it wasn't Elmer." "Starting Friday at 1 p." "M Elmer was logged into a chat room for 12 consecutive hours." "At the time Miller disappeared, Elmer was in a steamy private chat with the first tenor of the Men's Chorus of Greater Tacoma." "It still felt good arresting him." " Hello?" " I caught you." " Barely." "I've got a big date tonight." " Big, special or big, large?" "I don't know." "I haven't met Peggy the secretary yet." "What's up?" "I had a thought." "Remember that Andrew Kilburn guy and his review?" "Yeah, sure." "What about it?" "Well, why use his account?" "I mean, maybe it wasn't random." "Maybe they know each other." " Yeah, it's possible." " Yeah." " All right." "I'll see you Sunday." " Wait, Sunday?" "Annie's birthday." "Oh, shit, I forgot." " Okay, can I bring a date?" " Are you kidding?" "You don't even know if you like this girl." "No, not Peggy." "Melanie." "She's a social worker." "She likes sushi and rock-climbing and Dickens." " I can't believe you." " It's a numbers game." "Fine, fine." "I gotta go." "Okay." "Hey, you got a date?" " Good night." " Okay." "Bye." "Good night, Sam." "Molly gave me a birthday present already." "It's a computer game that I downloaded." " It's about horses." " How sweet of her." "That looks like fun." "Not really." "It's kind of silly." " I'll show it to you later." " Okay, honey." "I love you." "Gotta run." "Come on, Annie." "Let me get one first." "Somebody order a bunch of pizzas?" " Thank you." " You're welcome." " Hey, Griffin." " For the birthday girl." "Hello." " How are you?" "Over here?" " Over here." "Listen, I only made it through a few months of Kilburn's posts." " We'll need more bodies on this." " Okay." "He blogged, he uploaded vids, he built sites." "He practically lived online." " What, not anymore?" " Not since he died of something called diabetic ketoacidosis." "Which is what happens when you don't take your insulin for a few days." "Anyway, an hour after his body was found Kill With Me went up." "And an hour after that, Kilburn's review was spammed Web-wide." " And you think our guy killed him?" " The ME called it a suicide." "Hi." "You're right on time." "Yeah, well, it's a curse." "I spend half my life waiting for people." "So..." "Dave Williams." "That's a great address, by the way." "Eights bring prosperity." " I didn't know that." " Yeah." " Come in." " Thanks." "Here you go, honey." " Thanks." " You're welcome." "Detective." " Hi." " Hi." "Griffin invited me to his birthday party." "Yeah."

"Don't go." "Have some pizza." "Come on." "It's not that bad." "Wow, you must really like Asia, huh?" "Just Korea." "Korea." "Well, it's fabulous." "Thank you." "So you gonna let me see them?" "Of course." "Through the kitchen." "I gotta tell you, a 710 Pullman and a 712 Observation Car?" "My heart skipped a beat when I got your e-mail." " Lf they're really in mint condition..."

" Happy birthday." " Thanks." "You must be, what, 8?" "How did you know?" "Everyone else thinks I'm older." "Well, I'm a detective." " Are you ready to go skating finally?" " I think." "I sure hope you like it." "It's a punching bag." "Okay, so you blow it up and whenever you get in a really bad mood you sock it in the head." "Can I do karate on it?" "Of course you can." "You can do karate, kung fu, tae kwon do." " Thank you, Griffin." " You're welcome, sweetie." "That might be my date." "Mom." "Oh, come on." "Happy birthday, sweetie." " Have fun." " Thanks." "Sweetheart I gotta go." "It's a real emergency, or I would never leave you like this." " I'll make it up to you, I promise." "Okay?" " Okay." "I'm looking for Griffin Dowd." "He's..." " Yeah." "Hi."

" The counter's faster than last time." "Yeah." "I swear I've seen this guy somewhere before." " Yeah." " We all have." "He's David Williams." "He used to be a reporter for Channel 12." "He now hosts a TV show on public access." "Call Bagley." "Set up a press conference." "Sir, wait just a minute, please." "This is what he wants." "Anything you say will promote the site." "That's a possibility, but what would you prefer?" "Talk to National Security Agency." "Their computer capability's beyond ours." "We need their help." "That's fine, but I've got a man being publicly tortured." "How will it look if he dies and the Bureau never tried to help the guy?" "Not as bad as if we reach out and it kills him faster." "You honestly believe that could happen?" "Yes, sir, I do." "I'm sorry, Marsh." "I got no choice." "We're gathered here to share some information in regards to criminal conduct that originated in the Portland metropolitan area but that has far-reaching implications." "Let me introduce Special Agent-in-Charge of the FBI's Portland field office Richard Brooks." "Thank you, chief." "A week ago, a man was killed in this city." "This barbaric, cowardly murder was streamed live on the Internet." "As part of the killer's design, the more people who logged on to the site to witness the victim's suffering, the sooner the victim died." "Millions of Americans chose to visit the site believing that they were witnessing a mere hoax, a stunt or a prank." "Well, unfortunately, it wasn't." "Today a second individual has appeared on the site and his life, too, is in jeopardy." "The victim is the doting father of two boys a loving husband of 22 years and a devoted son." "In other words, he's a good American, one of us." "The torture that he is experiencing now is unimaginable in its cruelty." "We're doing what we can to shut down the site and bring the killer to justice." "In the meantime, we ask that everyone stay away from the site." "Any visit to this site, no matter how brief will only hasten the victim's death." "Any American who visits the site is an accomplice to murder." "We are the murder weapon." " We ask that you spread the word..." " Let's main-screen the website." "Hey, Tim, I think he's trying to say something." "Eight..." "Eight..." "Eight, eight, eight." "Oh, I get it." "It's an address, I think." "Eight..." "Eight-oh-eight Newberry." " Newberry?" "There's a Newberry Road in Laurelhurst." "Police!" "Open the door!" "Basement's here!" "It's the wrong house." " Any American who visits the site..." " He was here, though." "...is an accomplice to murder." "We are the murder weapon." "Any American who visits the site is an accomplice to murder." "We are the murder weapon." "Any American..." "All right." "We should send Forensics in here." "Any American who visits the site is an accomplice to murder." "We are the murder weapon." "Yeah, I understand that." "Just have her check it again, okay?" " Six hours." "So fast." " Twice as fast as Miller." "Nobody thinks they did anything wrong." "Why should they?" "They're curious about a website." "You check the headlines, check the stock market watch some strangers have sex." "See a journalist get his head cut off." "When did the world go so fucking insane?" "You've been working the streets too long." "He was definitely here." "He just got moved and didn't know it." "So Mrs. Williams is checking her husband's e-mail for us." "She says he was contacted about the trains through the public TV website." "I guess in his bio, he mentions he's a collector." "That was about a week ago." "Who owns the house?" "Tom Park, 60s, widower." "He's out of town visiting family in South Korea." "He runs a local market here." "He makes the trip every year." "So our guy's a customer." "We're trying to get ahold of Mr. Park, see if he knows anything." "We'll do a canvass." "Seems like a pretty tight-knit community." "Maybe somebody saw something." "Did you see this?" "On the bright side, along with every other daily they're not printing the name of the site." "Well, isn't that noble?" "A little late, though." "Did Annie ever forgive you for bailing on the party?" "Yeah." "After 11 bedtime stories." "Thank you." "You know, when we first met, I knew you looked familiar." "Nick and I came up together." "Nick Haskins." "That was Annie's father, right?" "Did he introduce us?" "No." "No, we never met." "I saw you at the funeral." "Right." "Anyway, he was a..." "He was a great guy." "Yeah, he was a great guy." "It's apparent our subject is extremely organized and sophisticated." "And based upon his ability to subdue his victims transport them and maintain physical control over them in a private setting, I'd describe the offender as highly capable." "Remember, he's not going after easy prey." "These abductions leave him exposed." "Even the kitten he stole in broad daylight." "Why the risks?" "Because each of these actions was absolutely essential to his purpose." "You wanna catch him, understand his goals." "You know, this guy he's the same as the Unabomber, Tim McVeigh." "He's another terrorist trying to make a statement." "Maybe." "Still, it goes back to his goals." "Why kill these particular people?" "And why is he killing them on the Internet?" "My guess, none of it's random." "None of it." "Okay." "Every post Kilburn ever left." "Thousands." "And a couple of DVDs." "One for you, one for me." "Every video clip that he ever uploaded." "That was his real hobby, was pulling the sick shit off the Net and then posting it on shock-video sites." "Anyways, this is the last post before he died." "It's sort of a best-of compilation something he called "The Best of the Worst. "" "Oh, yeah." "Poor Kilburn." "He had so much to offer the world." "Yeah." "I got four more bodies from Brooks, so let's share the pain, shall we?" "Great." "Okay." "Mom." "TiVo's not working." "Okay, honey." "Look, I'll be out in a minute." "Mom, there's a video of our house on the computer." "Watch whatever you want, honey." "I'll be right out." "Hey, Griff." "Good morning." "Annie." "Annie!" " Annie!" " Mom?" "Baby, what are you doing out here?" "What are you doing outside?" "I was just gonna ride my bike for the camera." "You stay with Grandma." "Hey." "Hey, that's evidence." " I'm sorry." "My daughter, she..." " It's okay." "We're here now." "It's okay." "Do you know whose car this is?" "Yeah, I think I have an idea whose car this is." "God." "Annie thought she'd downloaded a game from one of her friends." "It had a backdoor Trojan." "It got him all the way into my wireless network." "Which means that he has access to all my files." "Call me when you get there." "I love you." "Why don't you just go with them?" "What are you waiting for?" "And do what?" "Hide out?" "That's right." "I think you've sacrificed enough already, don't you?" "Nobody's gonna blame you for taking cover." "The piece of shit's camped out on your front lawn." "Annie's already lost one parent to the job, so yeah." "Get lost." "Just my opinion." " Yeah?" " Hey, Jen." "Did they get off okay?" "Yeah." "The Bureau's gonna put them up a couple hours away." "And I'm gonna stay someplace closer to work." "Good." "So you wanna hear my theory why he did this?" "Of course." "There is a connection between him and Kilburn and he knows you're leading the team to find it." "I think I might know what that connection is." "Emphasis on "might. " A few things I gotta check out." "I'm on my way in." "Are you coming?" "I need a couple hours." "I'll see you at the office." "Okay, I'll show you what I got then." "Okay." " Griffin Dowd." " Hi." "It's Melanie." "Melanie, hi." "I didn't think I'd hear from you again." "Your e-mail was very sweet." "Thank you." "Yeah, I spent a lot of time on that one." "So I heard you hung out at the roller rink." "Even had some cake?" "Two pieces." "But don't tell anybody." "Okay, well, your secret is safe with me." "Annie really liked you, and you know what they say about kids." "Along with dogs, they're terrific judges of character." "What can I say?" "I would have to agree." "I'm a total catch." "Hi, Ray." " Where's Griffin?" " Haven't seen him." "Brooks wants to see you." " Now?" " Now." " Agent Marsh, sir." " Yeah, send her in." "You wanted to see me, sir?" "How are you doing?" "Well, it was an interesting start of the day." "We're fine." "Good." "I want you to know I did follow up with the NSA." "As far as using their supercomputer goes, unfortunately the answer's no." " Why not?" " They're barred for domestic use." "Domestic?" "We've got him using mirrors in Russia, Malaysia..." "It's too public a forum." "They don't want their capabilities known." "As far as what they can and..." "It's Griffin." "It's Griffin!" "Where do these tubes lead?" "What are those tanks?" "Tim!" "Punch in on those tanks." "What's that say?" ""Sulfuric acid"?" "Sulfuric acid?" "If that's water in that tank pretty soon he's gonna be sitting in battery acid." "Don't wanna hear about bureaus and jurisdictions." "This is domestic terrorism, plain and simple." "Yeah?" "Well, just get it done." "Yeah." "All right." "You know, if no one was watching right now, you'd just be sitting in water." "But the whole world wants to watch you die, and they don't even know you." "It's so fast this time." "It's word of mouth, I guess." "Because I let you keep your badge on." "Ray!" "I need your help." "Tim, go in on his eyes." "I think he's trying to say something to us." "Here." "Please." "Do your best." "Hurry!" "Right eye's dots." "Left is..." "Left is dashes." ""S."" ""I."" ""D."" "There aren't any other kids here but the swimming pool's fun and there's satellite TV." "Mom, are you there?" "We miss you, Mommy." "When are you coming?" "It's starting to get really boring." "Your work isn't done yet?" "I wish." "Mom?" "I have to go now, honey." "Listen, you call me as soon as you wake up." "Okay, bug?" " It's Box." " I will." "Love you." "Say hi to Griffin." "I love you too, honey." "Bye." "Dinner." "I think I'll take a shower first." "The acid was stolen from a research lab at Marshall Junior College." "The thief apparently knew his way around." "Looks like..." "Looks like Griffin was baited with a phone call." "But we can't trace it because it was made with a spoof card." "Yeah, it's a phone card." "Costs about 10 bucks an hour." "Lets you program any caller ID you want." "This guy breached my laptop." "He must've owned Griffin's too." "Figured out where he was vulnerable." "Sorry." "I'm good at a lot of things, you know?" "But I'm not good at losing people." "I'm bad at losing people." "Rush-hour suicide." "I'm pretty sure that's what Griffin was trying to say." "I'm just not sure why." "Yeah, I remember." "He was a professor, that guy." "Andrew Kilburn included this in his greatest hits." " I was just there, like a week ago." " Where?" "At the Bridge Diner." "You know, the one under the Broadway Bridge." "I was talking to Scotty Hillman the guy who owned the cat." "That's where he works." "What was this guy's name?" "Do you remember?" "No." "I think he taught Chemistry, though." "At Marshall Junior College?" "Andrew Kilburn, a sophomore at Portland State." "Died last month but that didn't stop him from recommending, after he died a new website called killwithme." "Com." "How'd he do that?" "He didn't." "The killer did, using his account." "When Agent Griffin Dowd's investigation revealed why this deceased college student was chosen to promote the Kill With Me site, it cost him his life." "This is James Reilly." "Sixteen months ago depressed over the recent death of his wife, a hematologist Reilly staggered out into rush-hour traffic on the Broadway Bridge." "Traffic copters were out in force but only one caught all the action from beginning to end Channel 12." "The regular pilot was out sick that day, so the job went to Herbert Miller." "He later told friends he'd gotten lucky." "At the right place at the right time." "The back of Reilly's skull landed on the rooftop of this diner." "So did his glasses." "The skull was turned over to the coroner but the glasses were retrieved by one of the diner's employees Scotty Hillman." "He put them up for sale online." "And they sold quickly." "Kids were home from school." "Parents were outraged." "They called the TV stations." "The TV stations apologized." "Except for Channel 12." "They'd been having a little problem in the ratings, but not that afternoon." "Their numbers were sky-high." "And knowing a good thing when it fell into their lap they rushed a veteran reporter to the scene." "This is David Williams..." "He got lucky, landed an interview with a local businessman whose parked Cadillac had been struck by Reilly's falling body." "When the interview ended Channel 12, as a courtesy to those who might have missed it aired the entire video one last time." "Within minutes, Andrew Kilburn had pulled it off his TiVo and posted it on five different shock-video sites." "From there, Reilly's suicide was public domain." "Something for five billion people to feed on, laugh at, gossip about." "Reilly had a son, Owen." "He was brilliant." "Good at electronics, mechanics and computers but he was disturbed." "He was troubled." "He was withdrawn." "Owen took his father's suicide very hard." "He had to be hospitalized." "And six months ago he was released." "This x-ray image is supposed to be Owen's father." "The number on the left, the date his father died followed by the number of his autopsy report." "Owen lives alone now at his father's house in Fairview." "What do you say we arrest the piece of shit?" "Go!" "Go!" "Basement's clear!" "This is bad." "There are new developments in the Internet murder investigation tonight out of Portland, Oregon." "For more, let's turn to Marilyn Deutsch." "Right." "Police now say they know who is kidnapping people in this area and then killing them live on the Web." "Take a look at this picture." "Police say the suspect's name is Owen Reilly." "He is 20 years old, and just nine months ago..." "First I just wanted to say how sorry I am." "This was a loss for all of us but most deeply for you, and we know that." "I know that." "You've done everything you possibly could." "You've given enough." " I want you to take some time off." " What?" "Why?" "Because now it's personal?" "This guy's still running around, the case is open." "The kid's face is everywhere." "He's driving around in a 40-year-old VW bus with electronics in it." "We'll have him by this time tomorrow." " Maybe." " Jennifer, I'm not only thinking of you." "Now join your family." "Just for a week." "I'll take a day." " Hey." " Hey." "So, what'd he say?" "He told me to get lost." "Well, he's right." "And what did you say?" "That's what I figured." "This has been America News Radio." "Now back to your local ANR station for news." "Good evening." "You're listening to KMZR, Portland." "This is the news at the top of the 10:00 hour." "Dominating the news again here and across the nation is the increasingly urgent search for the Internet killer now known to be Owen Reilly of Portland." "His most recent victim, an FBI cyber-crimes agent, Griffin Dowd was discovered dead in Reilly's Fairview home basement this morning." "In what the FBI is describing as the most serious Internet crime wave since the computer age began..." "Shit!" "Hello, Jennifer." "Look out the front window." "Under that streetlight." "That's where my father's body fell over the railing." "Some websites show the whole thing in slow motion because it's just so much better that way." "One archives it in a section called "whoa. "" "That's it." "Just "whoa. "" "You and the people you work with you let people say and do almost anything they want." "It doesn't matter who it hurts." "I'm sorry, Owen." "Owen, are you there?" " Call Answering Center." " Listen." "I'm an agent with the FBI." "I need you to connect me to the Portland field office." "Do you understand?" " Yeah." " It's Owen!" "He's hacked into my car's computer and my cell phone." "I'm on the Broadway Bridge." "Don't move." "I'll send a black-and-white." "Stay there." "All right." " Box." " Lieutenant, I'm on the bridge." "There's no sign of Marsh." "Okay." "Relay that to FBI Portland." "I'm minutes away." " Hurry." "Get the director on the phone." " Yes, sir." "Shut down every road to and from the Broadway Bridge." "Every car gets stopped now." "I need you to run a check on a 2006 Saab." "Get me a location, start tracking." "Name:" "Jennifer Marsh." "Portland, Oregon." "Fucker disabled her car's computer." "We can't track her." "Hello." "You know I'm only doing to you what they're going to do to me." "Only they'll use potassium chloride, and they won't let very many people watch." "But not for long." "You see, soon executions will be delivered live to our TVs our computers, our phones, our handhelds and it won't cost much." "Maybe 10 bucks." "Millions of eyes all watching the same thing at the same time." "One big, happy family." "And all of it brought to you by..." "It doesn't matter." "They'll have no trouble finding sponsors." "What's going on?" "We have a signal?" "We're still locked out." " Stay on it." " Yes, sir." "I wonder if they'll kill you faster or slower." "Based on what I've seen online the awful things that men do to women that other men pay to watch my guess would be faster." "Much faster." "Jesus Christ, it's Marsh!" " This is Box." " It's Brooks." "He's got Marsh on his site." "Send it to me." "You're giving me my best numbers." "That's..." "That's her basement." "He's got her in her own basement." "No, no." " Did you see that?" " Fuck!" "Fuck!" "Yes!"
