"All we know is that what we think of as past, present, and future is nothing more than a.." "Than a story stitched together in our Basal Ganglia." "Our entire concept of time is a.." "Is an artificial construct." "In that case, I don't need to hand in my lab report." "Because for all you know, I already did." "[ Laughter ]" "That is entirely correct!" "Of course, by that thinking, I may already have flunked you." "[ Laughter ]" "Max:" "Artificial construct or not, you have a curriculum review with the Provost in 7 minutes, and don't forget you've got 6 thesis proposals to review before office hours at 4:00, so if you could pick up the pace?" "Okay, you're overbooking me, Lewicki." "The brain needs downtime to function." "Not yours." "What did you tell me when you hired me?" ""Schedule equals sanity"." "If you really cared about my sanity, you'd keep the Provost out of my curriculum." "You know what?" "You're absolutely right." "A little break will do you good." "I'll be back in a minute." "And never say I don't bring you treats." ""Extreme Kakuro"." "Very nice." "Agent Moretti." "Hey, how are you doing today?" "I'm fine." "Thank you, Max." "How are you?" "I'm good, I'm good, but unfortunately," "Professor Pierce is a little busy right now." "Well, he doesn't look very busy to me." "If you need a consultant, I can introduce you to another very fine Professor in the Department." "Thank you, Max, but it's really Dr. Pierce that I need to talk to."

"How can you not remember this?" "Well, it's a hard to keep up with the news when you're cramming for your MCATs." "Okay, for five weeks in a row, every Friday, a girl would go missing in the afternoon and turn up dead in a landfill on Sunday morning, raped and beaten." "Well, the killings stopped, but they never caught the guy who did it." "Why are you working on a cold case?" "Because it's not cold any more." "These are clippings from 1986." "But Sunday before last, a body turns up in Avondale, same M.O. as '86, same Chloroform burns around the mouth, but CPD didn't make the connection until another body showed up just this past Sunday in Lincolnwood." "But this time, they got a print." "100% match to one of the crime scenes from back then." "So if the killer sticks to the pattern, another girl disappears Friday night." "And turns up dead on Sunday." "How can I help you catch him?" "Victim number 6." "Lacey Penderhalt." "The killer grabbed her Friday, July 18, 1986." "The next day, a propane stove blew up an abandoned house in Maywood." "Firemen found Lacey in the cellar, tied up, unconscious, but alive." "By the time she came to, she was so traumatized, she had some kind of a psychotic break." "The police tried to question her, but she was incoherent." "Did she ever recover?" "Well, she's been living in a psychiatric nursing home for the past 26 years, apparently pretty out of it." "And you want me to see if I can get through to her." "The Bureau's got 50 agents working crime scenes, chasing down leads, tracking present-day victims." "But I think that the answer is Lacey." "Well, if I'm gonna have any hope of reaching her," "I'm gonna need to know more than this." "Absolutely." "I just don't think you should hear it secondhand." "I think you should get this from somebody who was there." "Who's that?" "Retired Police Detective Joe Moretti.." "A.K.A. my Dad." "It was a terrible summer." "I wouldn't let Katie 3 feet out of my sight." "I was 6, Dad." "Not exactly the target demo." "Talk to me when you're a parent." "Every Detective on the force was working some angle of that case." "My squad, we were checking out the clues from the killer's journal." " Mm." " He kept a journal?" "You buried the lead, Agent Moretti." "[ Chuckles ]" "Don't worry." "I brought a copy." "They found the original in the wrecked house." "This is where the killer kept track of all his crushes." ""I met the most incredible girl on the El today." "Lily.." "Isn't that a beautiful name?"" "Lily Pasetti." "Victim number 3." "Sounds like he was fixated on her." "Yeah, for a week." "Every Monday and Tuesday, he'd meet a new girl, and she'd be "the one"." "On Wednesday and Thursday, he'd write about dancing with them in a club or swimming with them at the lake." "And every Sunday, it was the same thing.." "How the girl disappointed him, how she'd broken his heart or turned out to be a phony." ""I bought Sandra a drink at The Blacklight"." "Anybody at The Blacklight see who bought her a drink?" "She was a hot number." "Friends said there was a ton of guys buying her drinks." "But we couldn't put any one of those guys at the club where Lily was dancing or swimming at the lake with Suzanne." "But the entries about Lacey are different." ""I saw Lacey today, and I thought,"" ""wow, she's been here all summer, everywhere I look"." "He knew her." "That's why we were always hoping that Lacey would come around but.." "She's nuttier than Grandma's fruitcake." " Dad, mm-mm." " Sorry, Katie." "Just a figure of speech." "What I can't figure out is why he would take it up again after a 26-year vacation." "Maybe he got scared after you found his hideout, or.." "Maybe he just found some other way to scratch what was itching him." "Either way, it's time to go talk to Lacey Penderhalt." "Thanks." "And maybe someday you'll even come around when you don't need something." " No, no, no." "No, no, no." " Dad.." "I understand, fresh in town, new job, lots to do." "Hmm." "Speaking about fresh in town, when is Donnie coming in from D.C.?" "Soon." "Definitely." "Yeah, soon." "I.." "And I'll call you." " Nice to meet you." " Yeah." "Wait." "I just remembered." "I met you parents' night, Katie's freshman year." "You're the Professor she had the big crush on" " the whole time she was in college." " [ Squeals ] Nope." "What?" "So, you're probably wondering who Donnie is." "None of my business." "Well, it's okay." "I should have told you." "You don't have to tell me anything." "He's my husband." "You're married?" "Soon-to-be divorced." "I met him in D.C. it just did not work out." "Why are you lying to your Father about that?" "He hated Donnie the second he laid eyes on him." ""He's all wrong for you, Katie"." "I just couldn't give him the satisfaction of knowing he was right, you know?" "Agent Moretti?" "Dr. Pierce?" " Ryan Cutler." " Thank you for seeing us, Dr. Cutler." "Does Lacey know we're coming?" "Lacey doesn't know much of anything." "If you're hoping for help solving your case," "I'm afraid you're going to be very disappointed." "Hi, Lacey." "My name is Dr. Pierce." "And uh, this is my friend, Kate Moretti, with the FBI." "Is it all right if we ask you some questions?" "I'll come back a little later, if that's all right." "I'm gonna need to see her complete medical history." "I'm.." "I'm, uh, told that I can be a little addled, so, uh, let me see if I understand what it is that I've been reading." "26 years ago, after being beaten, raped, tied up and gagged," "Lacey Penderhalt was understandably hysterical, agitated, and disoriented, for which condition she was administered 2 milligrams of Lonoxonol, which, even in that prehistoric era, was 10 times the recommended dose of a dangerously powerful sedative," "which has since been proven to trigger psychosis in patients with recent head injuries." "Because the drug caused Lacey to present as psychotic, she was diagnosed with Traumatogenic schizo-affective disorder.." "A phrase I mercifully haven't heard spoken in 20 years.." "And treated with heavy doses of Chlorpromazine, another genuine relic of Psychotherapeutic antiquity, which rendered her nearly comatose." "The now mentally disabled patient was transferred to a long-term care facility, where the so-called Doctors rubber-stamped the original diagnosis like the good little employees they were." "The patients in this facility get the very best possible care." "Right, I.E., once a month a functionary on the payroll of the nationwide health conglomerate that owns this chain of warehouses for the mentally ill glances at a chart, checks a box, and moves on to the next patient on the shelf." " You're going to leave now." " Yes, I am, but I'll be back." "In the meantime, I want Lacey taken off her meds so I can ask her some questions." "I am not going to endanger my patient on the strength of an opinion offered by an ivory tower theoretician after a 30-second examination." "The fact is, the decision isn't really in your hands, is it, Doctor?" "We're talking to the wrong person." "This is Lacey's room." "I haven't touched a thing since the night.." "She was attacked." "We all knew the killer was out there." "I never should have let her out of my sight." "According to the statement you gave back then," "Lacey told you she was going to a movie?" ""Ferris Bueller's Day Off" she.." "Kept saying, "Mom, I'm not an idiot"." ""There's a million people on the street." "I'm not gonna walk down some dark alleyway"." "Dr. Pierce.." "If I let you do what you're asking.." "If they stop giving her the drugs.." "Will she know me again?" "Honestly, I don't know the answer to that." "But if we try this.." "We might be able to stop the killer from hurting anybody else's daughter." " You're just in time." " Have you stopped her meds?" "You tell me." "[ Gasping ]" "Who are you?" "!" "Who are you?" "!" "Get away from me!" "Valium, 20cc's." "Unless my esteemed colleague can offer a better suggestion." "If you'd seen what I did to this poor woman." "I'm sure you did what you thought was right." "So did Joseph Stalin." "How could I have been so wrong about something.." "Daniel?" "What is it?" "Me.." "In about 40 years." "[ Sighs ]" "That was weird one, even for me." "You're hallucinating." "What else is new?" "Didn't I read a book once by a certain brilliant neurosurgeon who speculates that sometimes, even the most frightening hallucinations can be the brain's way of making sense of things that seem random?" "Maybe the author of that book was just trying to make himself feel better." "Daniel, think." "What is the old you telling the young you?" "[ Gasps ]" " That's it." " Daniel, what is it?" " That's what must have happened." " What?" "Yeah, but where.." "Where was I?" "I.." "I didn't see it in there." "Natalie, I.." "I can't.." "I can't explain it right now." "Doc?" "Are you having an episode?" "Yes, I'm having an episode." "Well, Doc, it's okay." "I need to go to the hospital right now." "You know, I.." "I knew I should have kept Agent Moretti away from you." "We'll have a Doctor see you right away." "I don't need to be admitted, Lewicki." "I need to see Lacey." "[ Door opens ]" "I knew it." "What the hell are you doing here?" "Lacey didn't get upset because she was having some kind of psychotic hallucination." "She saw her own reflection in the glass, and she didn't know who it was." "What are you talking about?" "Have you got her back on the Antipsychotics yet?" "Not yet." "Good." "Maybe she'll talk to me." "If you bother her again, you'll be dealing with Security, not me." "Doctor, it's Tuesday night." "On Friday, another girl disappears." "Do you want that girl's blood on your hands?" "Lacey." "Lacey, I need to talk to you." "Can you hear me?" " Who are you?" " My name's Dr. Pierce." "How did I get here?" "You were the victim of a violent crime." "Where's my Mom?" "!" "You'll see your Mother very soon, I promise you." "Right now, the police need to know the very last thing you remember." "I remember talking to my friend.." "Cindy on the phone last night, and then I.." "And then I went to sleep." "What night was last night?" "Thursday." "What happened to me?" "What is going on?" "Lacey.." "How old are you?" "17." "Right there.." "Significant accumulation of Hemosiderin.." "Old hemorrhaged blood." "Uh, meaning what?" "Lacey suffered a traumatic brain injury at the time of her abduction, either at the hands of her killer or because something fell on her head when the house blew up." "How come nobody noticed this back in 1986?" "They didn't have this technology, so they just drugged her, assuming it was a psychiatric problem, and they kept drugging her." "Okay, now, how does this help us?" "It gives us a diagnosis.." "And a plan." "How are you feeling, Lacey?" "Who are you?" "How did I get here?" "Where's my Mom?" "Lacey has a textbook case of Anterograde Amnesia." "Which means what, exactly?" "It's a rare disorder in which the subject is unable to create new memories." "Kate:" "That's why she thinks she's 17, boss.." "Not because she's delusional, but because nothing that's happened to her for the last 26 years has stuck." "She can hold onto things for a short while.." "The length of a conversation, maybe a little longer, but then it's gone." " Does she remember who attacked her?" " No." "Everything stops at Thursday night." "Well, what good is a witness who can't remember someone she met an hour ago, much less the man who attacked her and kidnapped her in 1986?" "Actually, we have every reason to believe that because of her condition.." "She does remember him." "How do you figure that?" "According to the journal, the killer is someone that Lacey interacted with several times in the days leading up to her abduction." "Everything that happened to her that week is as fresh in her mind a.." "As this morning is for us." "If the physical injury caused the amnesia, then why wouldn't she remember everything up to the moment she got clobbered?" "Because her memory wasn't cut like a ribbon." "It was.." "It was smashed, like glass." "Lacey's Mother has kept her bedroom like a time capsule." "Nothing has changed since the day she left." "Now, if we bring her home when she's sedated, let her wake up where she expects to, and for her, it'll be a Friday morning in 1986." "We'll be able to ask her about everything that she saw that week." "We know what to ask." "We got the journal." "Not exactly orthodox." "All due respect, Sir, "orthodox" hasn't exactly caught this killer." "Look, the Mother's got to be what, like 65?" "How are you gonna explain her aging 26 years overnight?" "Probert, I do know that women are a complete mystery to you, but have you ever heard of a little something called a makeover?" "Daniel:" "You look wonderful, Mrs. Penderhalt." "You took care of the cordless phones, everything else?" "It's all in the garage." "S.." "She looked so peaceful last night, asleep in her own bed." "I'm just terrified of what's going to happen when she wakes up." "She'll be at home, in her own room." "And you'll just introduce her to some people who want to ask her a couple questions." "Well, what happens when you are gone?" "I mean, say we walk into the kitchen and we're talking, and suddenly she can't remember what we're talking about or how she even got in there?" "So tell her a half-truth." "She got a bump on the head, and that's why she's been a little forgetful." "The Doctor says she needs to stay home and rest, and she'll be fine tomorrow." "And then that tomorrow never comes." "She's at home with someone who loves her and not with strangers in some hospital." "What happens when she looks at her own hands?" "For 26 years, she hasn't washed a dish or chipped a nail." "I.." "I wish my hands looked like hers." "[ Up-tempo music plays ]" "Mom!" "Could you, like, knock?" "Lacey:" "What's going on?" "Lacey, I'm sure you've been hearing on the news about The Date Night Killer." "Oh, my God." "Did another girl get killed?" "Please tell me it's not somebody I know." "No." "No, angel." "Everybody's fine." "Mom.." "Oh, I'm sorry." "I'm just so.." "I'm just so happy to have you home, honey." "Where else would I be?" "Right." "Are you feeling all right?" "You don't look so hot." "No, I'm fine." "I just.." "I didn't sleep very well." "Mrs. Penderhalt, can I trouble you for a cup of coffee?" "No trouble at all." "I'll be right back, honey." "Oh, I love them." "Oh. [ Laughs ]" "Great minds." "Lacey, the police found a journal that the killer has been keeping all summer of the girls who he's kidnapped and uh.." "I'm afraid that the most recent entries have been about you." "Are you saying he wants to kill me?" "That's why we're here." "We need to ask you some questions about who you've been talking to this week, because we believe that one of those people could be the killer." "On Monday, he wrote in his journal.." ""Had a blast watching Lacey play softball"." "Do you remember anyone watching you play softball?" "No." "Unless.." "Unless?" "Coach Parker." "But it couldn't be him." "I mean, he's, like, the greatest guy ever." "Except?" "Sometimes, I think there's.." "Something a little skeezy about the way he looks at Cheryl James." "Do you think it could be coach Parker?" "Uh, we don't know, but we will certainly check it out." "Someone complained about inappropriate behavior 26 years ago?" "Not a complaint, just a report." "About an under aged girl named Cheryl James." "[ Scoffs ]" "Cheryl James Parker, my wife of 22 years." "On Tuesday, he writes, "saw Lacey at the pool"." "You were at the pool on Tuesday?" "Yeah." "It's free on Tuesdays." "I.." "I always go." "Anybody flirt with you?" "[ Gasps ]" "There's this hot lifeguard.." "Rick Matthews." "Oh." "He's always flirting." "I have a picture of.." "Of him." "Hmm." "Mom!" "What happened to my mirror?" "It broke during the night." "I cleaned it up while you were asleep." "The pictures are all in the top drawer." "That's me and Cindy and Rick." "Hmm."

"Oh, that could be Eddie Russell." "He's a junior partner at the law office where I do filings on Monday and Wednesday." "Did he talk to you?" "Oh, he's always talking to me." "And every time he does, I feel like I need to take a bath." "Hmm." "Apparently, he had too many eggnog at the office Christmas party, and he was chasing his assistant down the fire stairs when he lost his balance." "Been in a bed for six years now." "Seems there is justice in the universe after all." "Well, thank you." "I'm very sorry to.." "[ Cellphone rings ]" "Excuse me." "I need to take this." " Mm-hmm." " Moretti." " Then you're off the case?" " Mm." "Just off Lacey." "He wants me running down leads with everybody else." "Then what are you doing in a bar?" "They've already checked and double-checked those leads." "And I did not graduate third in my class from Quantico to be a triple-checker." "Will you leave those alone?" "They're older than you are." "So, what, you want me to go down there and tell your boss he's wasting talent?" "No." "What I want to know is if there's anything else you can remember from '86 that might help us." "Babe, I've done the full download." "But I do have a question." "You always tell your old man the truth?" "I don't see what that has to do with anything." "Well, just think about it." "In her own head, Lacey is 17." "She tells her Mother she's going to the movie, alone, on a Friday night." "So?" "Come on, Katie." "You think I forgot that certain night in 1997 when a certain 17-year-old told her Dad that she was going to the mall with Marsha Ford?" "Her Dad bumps into her on Navy Pier in the company of a bum with a ring in his nose." "He was not a bum." "He was a philosophy major at Northwestern." "The point is, daughters don't always tell their parents the truth." "[ Knock on door ]" "Is he here?" "You really should call first." "Yes." "Next time, I promise."

"But he's agitated." "Okay?" "He missed office hours." "He hasn't gotten any work done." "He's obsessing on the case." "If you keep disrupting his routine, who knows what could happen?"

"Honey, I'll be right back." "Lacey, um.." "We know that you told your Mother that you were gonna be going to the movies tonight, alone." ""Ferris Bueller"." " We know you're not telling us the truth." " Yeah." "Why would I lie?" "Lacey, I was 17 myself once." "And I know how grown-ups can freak out and overreact about nothing."
