"How do you get out?" "Light." "Light." "In the light, in the sun." " Do you see a barn?" " No." " A house?" " No." " Cabin?" " No!" "There's nothing." "Just the light." "It hurts my eyes." "And then the trees." "The trees again." "And the rocks are digging into my feet, and I hear him shouting behind me, and I try to run faster." "That's all I'm thinking, "Just run faster!""

"You okay?" "I'm fine." "Really, I am." "I'm fine." "I'm just sorry I can't take you to her." "I made an interesting discovery last night." "About what?" "I ran a check on all the Sistol orders over the last five years." " Guess what?" " What?" "A Beverly Hills plastic surgeon came up on the list." "There's no protocol for Sistol in plastic surgery." "Bingo." "Two years ago, this guy ordered enough to treat leukaemia in a medium-sized country." " What's his name?" " Rudolph." "William Rudolph." "Grew up in Durham." "Did his premed work here." "Dr Cross, is it him?" "Is he bicoastal?" "Bicoastal?" "That's an interesting way of putting it." "There are about a dozen predators operating in California now." "There's one, male Caucasian, probably early 30s, he's known as the "Gentleman Caller." They've been on to him for over a year." "And what I realised last night was that his abductions, they followed the ones here by about 10 days to two weeks." "Matter of fact, it was exactly 10 days after Naomi disappeared that a pretty, black coed disappeared from UCLA." " So he's doing it there, too." " Compulsively." "And if he follows true to form, he's due to hit California pretty quick." "Can the FBI pick him up?" "If I get Rudolph to the FBI, and they make one mistake, what happens to all these girls?" "I can't risk Naomi starving to death in a cell somewhere." " No FBI." " You're going out there on your own." " I've got people." " Take me with you." "I think you're best served by staying here right now." "And pretend like nothing's happened?" "No, no, that's not what I was gonna say." " I just think you should return..." " Dr Cross," "I'm the only person who's seen this guy." "I know his size, I know his voice, I know the way he moves..." " Kate, I know how you feel." "Honestly." " Would you please stop treating me like I'm a victim?" "You think I'm some kind of tourist in all this because I wasn't raped?" "Every night, when I go to sleep, I hear those women's voices."

"Now, I've pulled every string." "I've called in 10 years of favours to get those cars and equipment." "This thing has got to go as smooth as silk, or we are both fucked." "Understood."

"(STARTS ENGINE)" "This does not look like a 7-Eleven run." "Where does this road go?" "Vancouver." "He sounded so sincere." " How's that?" " When he told me that he loved me." " I expect that's because he does." " Please!" "Multiply your anger by about a hundred, Kate." "That's how much he thinks he loves you." "Okay." "Rudolph has landed." "There's a cabin about a half mile in." "So he hasn't travelled that far, after all." "He's back in the woods." "First time in California?" " It's a pretty state, ain't it?" " It's unforgettable." "RUDOLPH:" "What do you want, huh?" "Go ahead." "What?" "I can't hear you!" "They'll kill me!" "No!" "Shut up!" "Because you're sick!" "What the fuck is he doing?" " He's in a rage." " He's going fucking nuts." "He is about to scare the wildlife out of this forest." "That's what she's saying." "Let's go." "Let's fucking go." "Come on." "Tell me, what did you see back there?" "A killer getting organised." "(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)" "Guys, he's not gonna be abducting somebody from this place." "The word is this guy's pulled people out of these joints before."

"You don't know what my style is, all right?" "Your style is to help me blend in." "Henry, help me blend in." "Come on." "All right." "Right here, right here, right here." "Okay, I am going to walk over and find our boys, all right?" "You shall stay right here." "Mmm-hmm." "You won't move." "Wonderful." "Hey." "Kate." "Is that him?" "Is that Rudolph?" "Yeah."

"...reaches beyond southern California, and some say, involves a rogue branch of the FBI..." "They sure can document a fuck-up at the speed of light." "Here's what we know."

"Lying critically wounded, shot twice..." "What about here?" "Police also found an unidentified..." " We need X-rays." " Not a chance." "Detective Castillo and the woman were rushed to a nearby emergency facility where their condition..." "Gone in the night." "At least now the FBI know who they're looking for." " How far can he run?" " It's not a question of how far." "It's how long." "...asking lots of questions and receiving very few answers." "Questioned on the scene, Detective John Sampson, whom we've learned is about 3,000 miles" " out of his jurisdiction." " So, what do you want to do?" "Sampson is a detective in good standing with the Washington DC Police Department." "From what local police tell us, Sampson was part of a ragtag surveillance team." "Sampson, Detective Castillo and two other unidentified individuals were on a stakeout, but staking out whom or what?" "Property records indicate the cabin owner is Dr William..."

"There is no record of violence anywhere in my past." "Mmm-hmm." "Megan Murphy." "Oh, yeah." "This is a painstaking recreation of an image from Friedrich Thelen's Die Welt der Flagellanten." "Do you know it?" "That took me three hours to tie her up properly." "And consensually, by the way." "Dr Cross, tell me you've got more than this." "I have pictures of Megan tied to a tree." "No." "I was thinking we'd discuss that at the trial in, say, six months?" "But maybe you would like me to go on record now about Naomi." "Let's start with the first time I saw her." "In my office." "She was wearing a silk blouse, which pleases me because I like to turn up the air conditioning to constrict the capillaries." "You know, tweak the nipples." "You should have seen how self-conscious she was." "How nervous the chill in the air made her." "And like the others, her manner belied her real predilections."

"You know, on the tape, you asked me if I heard anything." "Yeah." "You said, "Nothing."" "That's not true." "I heard something." "It was in the background." "It was constant." " I heard water." " Water?" "Everywhere." "Below me, above, around, everywhere." "I had to have been in a basement." "Not possible." "Every farmhouse, barn, outhouse, chicken house, doghouse..." " The FBI have checked everything..." " They missed it." "Kate, I saw the aerial photographs." "They didn't miss an inch." "There were doors, there were walls, there were stairs." "It was man-made." "It was built." "When you escaped, you had no recollection of a house." "You said there was light." "That's it." ""Suddenly there was light."" "And I had been in a house, Alex." "I am sure of it." "Okay." "Here's what we're looking for, a plantation layout." "So now, there weren't plantations on the Wykagyl." " There was a plantation." " What?" "Check it out." "All this is Mason's property."
