" Let me put your jacket on, Sam." " No, no." " Come on, sweetie." "Come on." " I don't want to." " You taking off, Karen?" " Trying to." " Need a hand?" " Would you mind?" "Are you giving your mommy a hard time?" " No." " You'll let Carter do it?" "There you go." "Amy, did you say hi to Sam?" " Hi, Sam." " Hi, Amy." " Darn!" " Something wrong?" "No, no." "Jenny was supposed to pick us up half an hour ago." "She probably got delayed at the hospital." " Can I drop you somewhere?" " That would be great!" "He is such an amazing kid." "You've done a great job with him." "Please." "Do you realise how important these early years are?" "Are you kidding?" "I've read all the books and I get all the expert advice I can handle from my mother-in-law." "I know what you mean." "I've seen her in action." "Oh, boy." "Don't you have any know-it-all relatives?" "My father wrote the book on child development." "Fortunately, it's in Norwegian." "What does he say on the subject?" "In English, please." " What does he not have to say?" " That bad?" "Actually, he's one of the most visionary men in his field." "He heads a child-development clinic outside of Oslo." "We're taking Amy there next week." "Jenny never said anything about Amy going to a clinic in Norway." "It would be a great opportunity for you and Sam." "I think Sam's a little young for a trip to Norway." "I don't know." "A big boy like Sam?" "What's so visionary about your dad's clinic, anyway?" "First of all, it's in a beautiful, natural country setting." "Amy will be supervised by a team of child psychologists who record her progress hourly." "But you can't study child development and think anyone is gonna take it seriously if you only have one subject." "It's just another case history." "So, what we're setting up is a control group of gifted children." "We'll need at least five, none of them older than three years old." " That's why I want Sam..." " To be your guinea pig?" " Carter, you got to be kidding!" " No." "Nobody will send their kid to some snake pit in Norway" " for some developmental study." " It's not a snake pit." "Do you think I'd let Amy go unless it was completely safe?" "No!" "But I can't believe Jenny agrees with it." " Just forget it." " Don't get mad." "(Sneezes)" " Bless you." " I'm not mad. (Sneezes)" "We're friends, remember?" "And as a friend, I'm telling you the whole idea is crazy." "Why would any sane parent allow their kid to be part of that?" "Do you realise no one knows anything about personality development?" "Everything has been pure conjecture." "All we psychiatrists do is chase cows after the barn door has been opened." "(Sneezes)" "For the first time, we'll be able to observe what happens and precisely monitor the psychological consequences." "Not with my kid, you don't." " (Sneezes)" " Oh!" " Sorry." " My eyes!" "It's in my eyes!" "I got the wheel." "I'm so sorry." " Karen... are you all right?" " I've got something in my eye." " It hurts." " Let me have a look." "Look up." "Now look down." "It's just the tiniest bit of dirt." " It hurts!" " Just keep your eyes closed." "I'll get a... a tissue." " Are the kids okay?" " Don't move!" "They're fine." "They're fine!" "So sorry." "I'm so sorry." "What's that smell?" "(Muffled yelling)" "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." " (Horn honking) - (Groans)" "(Sinister laughter)" " Kiss her." " What?" "You got five seconds before those guys are n your face." "And what do you think you'll look like, killer?" "Go on, kiss her!" "(Man) Ooh!" "Well done." "(Sighs)" " When did you get out?" " Move over." "Isn't this pleasant?" "We just gonna sit here all day?" " What are you doing here?" " I'm saving your ass, that's what." "I was supposed to be an observer." "What I'm observing is very odd." "Twins chatting in the front, the driver slumped over the wheel." " What is wrong with this picture?" " I don't need you!" ""I don't need you!" (Chuckles)" "Let's get out of here, Carter, before we're seen... because, believe me, we'll be remembered." "Drop me off at the next corner." "I could use a drink." " Don't follow me anymore." " "Don't follow me anymore. "" " Stop that!" " "Stop that. "" " Stop it!" " All right, all right." " Jesus!" " Oh, Carter..." "You're a thankless dope." "I was only trying to help, which, of course, I did." "This thing you're doing means everything to the old man." "And you can't fuck it up." " I'm not fucking anything up." " Oh, really?" "By the way..." "What were you planning on doing with the little missus here?" "I'm gonna... take her back to the park and leave her there." "Very good!" "I see you've got this all thought out(!" ")" ""Take her back to the park and leave her there. " Then what?" "When the chloroform wears off, she'll be fine." " And the cops will come for you." " I won't hurt her!" "You won't hurt her, she'll hurt you!" "Oh, my God." "What are we gonna do?" " I'll tell you what we're gonna do." " What?" "First, stop at your place." "I need to get out of these clothes." " And then you need to get lost." " And then what?" "The cat's in the bag... and the bag is in the river." "(Yawns) I've been up all night with Mrs. Bellor." "The radiation seems to be working." "I'm gonna lie down for a bit before I take her for her checkup." "Isn't she beautiful?" "(Sexy sax tune)" "Oh, Dr. Nix." "Oh, how horny we are." "Ow!" "You're hurting me." "(Baby crying)" "That's all right." "I'll get her." "You just wait here." "Okay." "(Police siren in the distance)" "Mommy!" "Mommy!" "Mommy!" "Mommy!" "Mommy!" "Mommy!" "Mommy!" "Mommy!" "(Crying continues)" "(Carter) Shut up!" "Stop that." "(Man, Norwegian accent) I was afraid of this." "I wanted him to do this himself." "I didn't want you to help him." "Gee, Daddy, I was only trying to help out." "If I hadn't been there, we'd all be fucked." "(Sighs) Carter's an amateur." "He panicked." "Oh, stop it!" "I know you, Cain." "Carter weakened and you stepped in." "We all know your tough-guy act." "But we don't need a loose cannon here." "Carter can finish this himself." "Let me tell you something, Doctor." "I know Carter wants to help but we're talking about stealing kids and experimenting on them." "You may need this "loose cannon"." "You should never have gotten out." "You're nothing but a cheap hoodlum." "I am what you made me, Dad." " Shut up and finish your drink." " I already have." "Then let me get you another." "You know... you could get us all put away for good." "There's no jail that can hold me." "I'm the escape artist, remember?" "I learned it breaking out of all those cages you locked me in." "They were not cages!" "They were a specially designed infant environment." " They were cages!" " Hush, now!" "You'll wake the child." "But hey, I'm not one to hold a grudge." "After all, where would I be without you, Baumse?" "You wouldn't exist." "That's right but I do exist, don't I?" "I'm that fucked-up experiment of yours that just won't go away." "Hickory dickory dock." "Cain has picked his lock." "I'm out of here." "The cat's in the bag and the bag is going in the river." "So don't fuck with me, Dad!" "You may lose more than your licence this time." "Have you talked to the others?" " About what?" " About what we are doing." "(Laughs) Are you kidding?" "If Margo finds out..." " What did you put in this?" " Just something to relax you." "You fucking..." "I want you to sleep now, Cain." "You've done a good job but we don't need you any more." "I want you to relax and sleep." "Carter can handle everything now." "(Clocks ticking and chiming)" "(Grieg:" "Morning from Peer Gynt)" "Daddy, I want to pick the flowers." "We don't pick 'em, sweetie." "We just look at them." "I'm going to take her outside." " I'll take her." " No, you finish up." "We'll be fine." "We're going to go look at the flowers." " Would you like that gift-wrapped?" " Yes." "Thank you." "I'll be right back." "(Tapping)" "That's what I would buy for the man in my life." " How are you?" " Fine." "And you?" "(Sighs)" "After the funeral..." "I was a block of ice." "I couldn't bear to feel, so I felt nothing." "I'm sorry I made such a mess of it." "I'm staying at the Garden Court." "If you wanted to just talk..." "I'll be there tonight." "We could..." "I saw you come in with Carter and your little girl." "I guess I just didn't thaw out fast enough." " Here's a flower for you, Mommy." " Thank you, sweetie." " Are you finished?" " Yeah." " I mean, no." " Are you all right?" "You look upset." "No, I'm fine." "I'm just not finished." "Why don't you take Amy to the park and I'll catch up with you later?" "No, I think it's going to rain." "We're going to go home." "But don't be too long." "Amy needs to spend more time with her mommy." " More quality time." " I'll be home soon." "We'll have plenty of time for quality time." " Bye, sweetie." " Bye, Mommy." "(Long sigh)" " Miss?" " Yes?" "I'd like this one also, please." "(Woman on phone) Mr. Dante isn't answering." "Can I take a message?" "Tell him that Jenny O'Keefe called and that I have his keys." "And I can meet him at O'Keefe Park..." "Camino Park at one." "If he can meet me by the playground, that would be great." "(Banging, woman chattering outside)" "(Crash, woman shouting)" "(Laughter)" "(Children chattering)" "(Woman) Maxine, be careful." "You went too high." " Jenny!" " Hi." " Hi." "Where's Amy?" " Home, with Carter." "I missed them." "What a great guy you've got." "The idea of taking a day off to spend it with Maxine, hasn't even occurred to my husband." " Is everything all right?" " Yeah." " No." " What's the matter?" " Sarah, I saw Jack today." " Jesus." "Uh..." "I think he still loves me." "Oh, come on." "Isn't it a little late for that?" "He was so flustered he forgot his keys, so I'm meeting him here to return them." "I hate to bring this up but you are married to the perfect man." "The perfect man?" "Yesterday, out of the blue, he started to make love to me and then stopped when Amy started to cry." " Just because he was worried..." " He didn't even go to her room." "He went downstairs, got into his car and then drove off." "That doesn't make any sense." "Carter isn't making any sense." "And he's becoming awfully compulsive with Amy." "He doesn't just take care of her." "He studies her." "I have this horrible feeling it has something to do with his father." "You're not just finding excuses to start up with Jack again?" "I don't know." " Boy, he looks great." " Yeah." "Definitely don't do what I wanna do." " Good luck." " Thanks." "Thank you." "Nothing's as stupid as making a dramatic exit and having to go back because you forgot your car keys." "Fortunately, it was a rental." "They sent over another set." "You're very good at dramatic exits." " I'm sorry, Jenny." " It's okay." "I got over it." " And I learned something." " What?" "To be the dispassionate doctor." "Let's walk." "(Moans)" "(Groaning)" "(Gasps)" "(Sighs)" "Oh..." "Three o'clock?" "(Sighs)" "(Amy crying)" "It's okay, sweetie." "It's all right, baby." "(Thinks) Why couldn't we just have an intercom instead of this TV thing?" "(Singing quietly in Norwegian)" "I don't know why I agreed to it." "Taking a couple of years off from his practice to raise Amy personally." "Testing out a few new approaches to child raising in his own home." "Maybe even write a book about it." "So I go to work and the child psychologist stays at home, playing house dad." "(Sighs)" "(Carter humming lullaby)" "(Gasps)" "Oh..." "(Chattering outside)" "(Crash outside)" "Oh, God." "I can't let Jack open Carter's present." "(Heartbeat monitor, sequential beeps)" "Jack's wife, Emma, was my patient, dying of lung cancer." "It was agonising for him but he came every night to sit with her." "My heart went out to him." "I wanted so much to take away some of his pain." "Then I realised it was more than that." "I was falling in love with him." "(Mouthing) Happy New Year." "What?" "What's going on?" "(Heartbeat monitor, flatline) Leave the room." " You must leave the room!" " What the hell?" "Code blue!" " Get out of the way, sir." " Coming through." " What have we got?" " We have cardiac arrest." " Here's a bag." " One milligram epinephrine." "(Screams)" "(Gasping, laughing)" "What are you doing here?" "What are you doing here?" "!" "Happy Valentine's Day." "This for me?" "You came back." " I just came because..." " Why did you run away?" "I thought I saw someone." " Where?" " In the woods." "Well, he's not here now, is he?" "Huh?" "Is he?" "(Sighing)" "But there was someone." "(Moaning)" "Oh..." "Oh, my God." " Sarah, it's Jenny." " My God, are you all right?" " Yes, I'm fine." " Carter's been calling all night." " Oh, no." " What happened to you?" " I was with Jack." " At his hotel?" "." "All night?" "I can't explain now." "What did Carter say?" "Since you didn't come home he figured you had an accident." "He called all the hospitals and the police." "What are you going to tell him?" "(Screaming)" "Honey." "Honey, it's okay." "I'm right here." " Are you all right?" " Yeah." "I had the worst dream." "I'll say." "You were moaning and waving your hands around." "I dreamt I was in the weirdest car accident." "Well, you're okay now." "Why don't I get you a glass of water?" "OK." "Thanks, sweetie." "I get so worried about you, honey." "I think you've been working too hard." "(Carter) You shouldn't have to carry the whole load." "It's beginning to take a toll on you." "I don't know." "Maybe we should be rethinking this whole parenting arrangement." "I just don't think it's been fair to you." "One of these days I'm going to have to get back to my own practice." "Maybe we could get a sitter in, during the day." "I should go back to work." "What do you think?" "I think... (Muffled screaming)" " Dr. Nix." " Oh, hi, Nan." " Can you do me a big favour?" " Yeah, of course." "My boyfriend forgot me." "Can you drop me at Mrs. Roberts'?" "Sure, I..." "(Baby crying)" "I just have to pick something up first." "Can you keep an eye on Amy for me?" " Yeah." "No problem." " I'll be right back." "(Gasping and moaning)" "(Cain, laughing) Jesus!" "Be a Peeping Tom on your own time." "We're going to lose that kid." " That's my wife." " No shit?" "(Moaning)" "I married her too soon." "She never got over him." "No question of that!" "(Laughs)" "Look, Carter, why don't you just go home?" "I'll handle the baby-sitter." "(Jenny panting)" "I guess you're right." "I don't feel very well." "I'd better just go home and sleep." "That's right." "You go sleep." "I'll take care of everything." "I'll just be you for a while, huh?" "Until this whole mess is cleaned up." "Poor schmuck." "Ooh... (Laughs)" "Oooh... yes!" "Where did you get that neat trench coat?" "I copped it." "You know, Dr. Nix, I should be going out with older guys." "I'll tell you something." "For a man your age, you're..." "you're still pretty cute." "It's not the mileage, honey." "It's the make." "Keep an eye on the monster." "I gotta go pee." "I'll be right back." "(Chuckles)" "(Door creaking)" "I know what you're going to do." "It's a bad thing and I'm going to tell." "Get out of here!" "Shit." "(Moaning)" "(Gasps)" "(Jack) What's the matter?" "Jenny?" "(Starts engine)" "(Birds singing)" "(Bird shrieks)" "Help!" "Somebody help!" "(Screaming) Carter!" "Carter!" "Carter!" "(Alarm beeping)" "(Groans)" "(Beeping stops)" "(Gentle music playing)" "(Sighs) Jenny." "Oh, Jenny." "(Music continues)" "We were all going to the beach today to have a... a Valentine's Day picnic." "Jenny took Amy to the park while I packed up the Jeep." "I guess that was at about eight." "They were supposed to be back at ten." "My wife is never late." "I was immediately concerned." "So I went to the park to search for them at about ten thirty but they weren't there." "So I called up you fellas and came right over here." "Dr. Nix, I'm sorry to say we've had a few other disappearances from this park." "From your description, your wife and daughter were likely candidates." "You mean..." "they might have been kidnapped?" "We don't know." "All we know now is that they've disappeared." "You told us you went there regularly with your little girl." "That's right." "Did you ever notice anybody that didn't look right?" "Another man or a woman that seemed to be hanging around?" "No." "Wait a minute." "There was somebody, a man." "I remember because..." "I noticed he didn't seem to have a child with him." "Why would you come to a playground without a child?" "Why don't you sit down with our sketch artist?" "It would be helpful to get a picture." "Of course." "Peters, it's Cally." "I want you to do a sketch for me." "Yeah, right away." "I'll send him over?" "See that guy over there?" "That's Jay Peters, our sketch man." "Why don't you go there and see what you guys can come up with?" " All right." " Come on." "And, er, thanks for all your help." "Dr. Nix, Jay Peters." "How you doing?" "Have a seat." " Just do the best you can." " You got it." "(Phone)" "Poor guy." " This is getting out of hand, Sean." " Yup." "It seems like a serial to me." "A detective's dream - the motiveless murder." "What have we got now?" "Two moms, a baby-sitter and their kids are gone." "From the same playground." "And there's Dr. Nix." "What do you mean?" "Nix..." "It's the kind of name that sticks in your head." " From where?" " From ancient history." "Oh, your specialty." " Let's go home, Mack." " Sean, come on..." " Go home." " I wouldn't waste your time." "When you retire, you don't come to the office any more." "Sit in your favorite chair, watch the shopping channel, wash your car." "Take your grandkids to the zoo." "Maybe even go see a ball game." "What you don't do is hang around here looking over our shoulders." " I'm just trying to help you." " You're in the way." "Yeah?" "Well, maybe you can tell me who this Dr. Nix is." "That guy there working with Peters." "Yeah." "Any dope can see that." "But I worked another Nix case 20 years ago." "20 years ago." "What are you talking about?" "I'm talking about that guy's old man." " Are you sure?" " Same name, same face." "So, what did your Dr. Nix do?" "We got an anonymous tip he was buying babies." "I remember we caught him with five." "Five?" "Was he starting a basketball team?" " Who knows?" " So what happened to him?" "He got convicted, jumped bail and left the country." "He was Swedish or something, we couldn't extradite him." " Great." "Thanks for sharing." " Wait." "At his trial, an associate testified against him, a Dr. Lynn Waldheim." "Still works around here." "I called Waldheim's office." "They tell me the doctor checked into the hospital." " What's the matter with him?" " It's a "her"." "Cancer." "I told her the father of one of the missing kids was a Dr. Nix." "She says she'll be right over." "So this is retirement?" "I think I'll just have a heart attack right here." "(Laughs)" "I could never retire, so I don't." " You don't mind, do you, guys?" " Mack... consider yourself back on my task force." "Thanks, Terri." "Hey..." "Hey, Sean." "Thanks." "(Mack) I know what you're thinking." "(Sean) Like father, like son." "Too easy." "Just because his father's a nut doesn't mean Carter has to be." "I'm going with what we got." "Two mothers, a baby-sitter and their kids disappear." "When Peters has finished that sketch I want it shown to everybody." "(Phone) Yeah?" "When?" "We'll be right down." "Car popped up out of Half Moon Marsh." "Had a woman's body in it." "They just brought it in downstairs." " Oh, God." " Do we bring him?" "Let's see how bad she is." " How's it going?" " Very well." "It's amazing." "It looks just like him." "He was wearing a trench coat." " My God." " Ma'am?" "(Terri) Tell me when you're finished." "Let's go." " Detective Terri, this is Dr. Waldheim." " Thanks for coming over." "It's uncanny." "He looks exactly like his father." " That's Carter Nix." " It couldn't be anyone else." "And his wife and child have disappeared?" " It gets worse." " We got a dead woman downstairs that could be his wife." "So much tragedy in one family." " Could you walk with us?" " Certainly." "This way." " Are you feeling up to this?" " I hate this wig." "I told them to get me a grey one." "My hair is grey." "They couldn't find one." " I look like a transvestite." " It looks fine." "You're very kind but you don't lie very well." " So, you were trained by Dr. Nix?" " I took my residency with him." " Why him?" " Because he was the best." "I was interested in his work on multiple personalities." "We wrote a book together based on one of his patients." "In the book, we called him Cain." " Three Faces Of Cain or something?" " He had many more faces than that." "Down here." "So, what was the book called?" ""Raising Cain:" "The Creation And Evolution" "Of The Multiple Personality. "" "It was a best-seller." "They even made a TV movie out of it." "I heard he made quite a lot of money." "I wouldn't have any of it." "I had my name removed from the book." " Why?" " I didn't want that kind of money." "What kind of money was that?" "Money profited off the misfortune of another." "You still wrote the book." "I didn't know all the circumstances surrounding the case." " What were they?" "This way." " Yes." "Let me explain." "All multiple personality patients, regardless of their background, seem to share certain childhood traumas." "Then the original personality splinters into others." "For instance, if a boy is molested by his mother or abused by his father, the original..." "Ah." "The original personality forgets it ever happened." "How could his loving parent do such a terrible thing?" "And he creates an alternate personality." "This becomes the person it happened to." "He is the one who suffers the pain for all the rest." "Hm, you do something bad, the other personality takes the rap." "Sounds very convenient." "It is not a psychological state one wishes to acquire." "Every time there's a trauma there may be another personality." "Soon scores of them are running around inside your head, squabbling amongst themselves as to which one controls the consciousness." "Only one personality can control the consciousness at one time." " So they're talking to each other." " Sounds like one messed-up guy." "Yes, but by carefully observing and documenting the formation and development of Cain's multiples," "Dr. Nix was creating a whole new theory of personality evolvement." "Yeah." "There was only one problem." "(Lift bell) Only one?" "What was it?" " The raw data." " (Sean) Elevator." "The raw data was extraordinarily detailed." "It was as if he'd gotten into a time machine and seen each of Cain's personality splitting traumas as it occurred." "I was never allowed to meet Cain." "His true identity was known only to Dr. Nix." "All the information I had" "I transcribed from tapes recorded during their sessions." "So, how do you think he got the information?" "I never knew for sure." "But years later, when he got arrested for trying to buy babies," "I suspected there could only be one answer." "Yeah?" "He had created Cain's multiple personalities in order to study them." "He had taken some innocent child and split its personality." "He needed a control group to test his theories, that's why he was buying babies." "(Lift bell)" "Uh-huh." "To the right." "And you testified against him at his trial?" "A man like that should be in jail!" " What happened to Cain?" " Only Dr. Nix knew that." "What's the story, Al?" "Looks like she was put in the car when she was alive and then drowned." "Look at her nails." "See how they're cut and torn?" "Looks like she was trying to claw her way out." "You should see the expression on her face." "(Man) Lieutenant, we got lucky." "A lady's picked out the guy on the bench there." "He's real close." "All right." "Excuse me, sir." "Excuse me?" "Lieutenant Terri, Bay View police." "I'd like to ask you a few questions." "It's just a short ride." "You'll help us out a lot." "Short ride?" "I could help you out here." " Do you have a car here in the lot?" " This is my car right here." " This is your car?" " It's a rental car." "Give the keys to Detective Carleton." " You ride with us." " I don't understand..." "You can have the keys." "I just rented it yesterday." "I'm visiting a--." "Here." "These are..." " What is this?" " I must have rubbed..." " Huh?" "This looks like blood." " I've never seen that." " Would you open this?" " Sure." "It's probably the round key." "I don't know what you expect to find, I'm not hiding anything." "Weapons or something." "Oh, my God." "(Phone)" " Hello?" " (Nix) Carter?" " Yes, sir?" " Turn on channel six." "That's going to mean light rain..." "A Bayland Park man was indicted on charges he killed an 18-year-old baby-sitter." " You're a good boy, Carter." " Thank you, sir." "Now, meet me at the hotel at 4am, downstairs." " I'll be there." " The children must be moved." "Bye-bye, Baumse." "The charges against Jack Dante, 35, include first-degree murder and kidnapping." "He is also being questioned about the disappearance of Sam Bowman." "The body of his mother, Karen Bowman was recovered by police from the trunk of her car in Half Moon Marsh." "(Screams)" "(Grunts)" "Wake up!" " Don't move or I'll cut it." " Jenny, what are you doing?" " I'm bleeding." "Oh, my God!" " And I can help you." " Don't let me die!" " What have you done with Amy?" " What are you saying?" " I want answers!" " How could you let me drown?" " What's happened?" "Was it because of Jack?" "You saw us in the park together." "You got him arrested for what you did." " Help me." " Tell me where Amy is!" "But I don't know where she is!" "What are you saying?" "Tell her before you get your throat cut." " But I don't know." " "I don't know. "" " I don't!" " Who are you talking to?" " I do." "I took her to dear old Dad." " Where is he?" "Who are you talking to?" "Where have you taken her?" "Taken her?" "Taken her where?" "She's... she's..." "She's... with my father." "Your father?" "What are you saying?" "Your father is dead!" "No, no." "He's not dead." "He's here." "Amy's with him." "She's fine." "Tell her, Cain." "Tell her!" "She's fine. (Doorbell)" " Why won't you tell her?" " (Terri) Bay View Police!" "Carter, get up." "Carter, get up." " Tell her, Cain!" " (Banging) Doctor?" "!" " Amy's fine." "Why won't you tell her?" " Dr. O'Keefe?" " You've got to tell her." " Get up." "According to Norwegian authorities," "Dr. Nix took a swan dive into a fjord 18 years ago." "There was a suicide note but they never recovered the body." "Great." "Carter says they're with his father." "His father's been dead for 18 years." "This gets better all the time." "Let's hope Waldheim can get something out of this psycho." "When I got myself out of the car," "I could only think of one thing." "If he was crazy enough to kill me what was he going to do to Amy?" "So then I went home... but she wasn't there." "That's when I called you." "And then Carter came home." "I just wanted him to tell me where Amy was." "Oh..." "Well, let's hope he's not too nuts." "What do you mean?" "Too nuts to go to jail." "You mean he might not go to jail?" "First we've got to find out if he's competent to stand trial." "Any smart lawyer will plead him not guilty by reason of insanity." "And depending on what Waldheim finds out," "Carter could wind up a celebrity mental case in a cushy institution." " He might be out someday?" " All he's got to do is get better." "Fascinating." "It's quite something, after writing about him for years," " to finally meet him." " Carter is Cain." "And Josh and Margo and God knows who else." "Now it is clear to me how Dr. Nix got all his precise data." "He traumatised his own son." "Then, over the years, he observed the effects." " Does Carter know what he did?" " Carter didn't do anything." "Cain did all the killing." " Who is Cain?" " One of Carter's multiples, one of the ones Dr. Nix created when he abused him as a child." "When something bad is about to happen to Carter or when something bad has to be done," "Carter blacks out and Cain takes over." "After the unpleasantness, Cain exits and Carter wakes up." "He has lost some time, he doesn't remember how he got where he is or what happened while he was asleep." "He may be confused but his conscience is clean." "So how do we find the children?" "Carter doesn't know where they are." "But, one of the other multiples may." "And how do we talk to them?" "Hypnotism is the fastest though not always the most prudent method." "We've got to find these babies now." "Then I will need an absolutely quiet space where I can be alone with Carter." "Whatever you need, and do it fast." "I don't wanna be walking behind any little coffins." "It's all right." "We'll find them." "(Cain laughs)" "She doesn't care who she fucks or where she does it." "But don't worry, buddy." "I'm not gonna let that loving wife of yours sell you down the river." "Once we get out of here I'll put that two-timing bitch in a box she'll never swim out of." "Hey..." "You remember that lady cop that brought Waldheim her coffee?" "Take a look down at your feet." "Don't be so obvious!" "Jesus." "(Sighs)" "Keep your head up." "Now reach down." "Down..." "Down... and pick it up." "Good boy." "Carter, you're awake now." "I am a doctor and I am here to help you." "Do you understand?" "Carter?" "(Boy's voice) Are you talking to me?" "Yes, I'm talking to you." "Carter, pay attention." "You have to answer my questions so I will be able to understand what is going on." "Is that perfectly clear?" " No." " Why?" "Because I'm not Carter." " You're not Carter?" " No." "Wait a minute." "If you're not Carter, then who are you?" "I'm Josh." "Josh." " And where is Carter?" " Carter's inside." "Inside where?" "Can you wake him up so I can talk to him?" " No." " Why?" "Baumse would hurt me." " Who is Baumse?" " Baumse is my dad." "But your father isn't here any more." "He's dead." "No, no!" "He's here." "I gotta go." "Your father isn't here now so you don't have to be afraid." "He'll hurt me." "No, he can't hurt you now, I won't let him." " You won't?" " No." " You promise?" " Yes, I promise." "Okay." " How old are you?" " Seven and a half." "Why are you the one who came to talk to me?" "I don't know." " Why are you here?" " I don't know!" "Try to think." "What is the last thing that you remember, hm?" " I was in a playground." " A playground." "And what happened?" "Get out of here!" "I saw Cain." "He was going to do something bad, something I'd be blamed for." "I told him it was bad!" "Then I woke up Margo and told her." "She got real mad!" "She told me to go to sleep!" "Then I woke up here." "My..." "My arm hurts." " That's why I'm here." " Could you explain that?" " That's what Margo says." " Margo." "That's what she says." "Hickory dickory dock." "Cain has picked his lock." "He did a bad deed and Josh comes to bleed." "Hickory dickory dock." "Josh..." "Everything is all right." "Everything is all right." "Do you know where the babies are?" " What babies?" " Someone took the babies and hid them." " No, no, no..." " Nobody is going to get punished." "I just want to know where they are." "He did it again!" "It was Baumse!" "He did it again!" "Oh, no." " What's the matter?" " Shh!" " She heard me." " Who heard you?" "Margo." "She's right behind you." "Don't look!" "I shouldn't be talking to you." "How do you know she heard you?" "She's staring right at me, like I did something bad." " Who is Margo?" " She protects the children." "She won't let Baumse hurt them like he hurt me." "When he took the children before she called up the police." " She called the police?" " Yes." "But you said that he did it again." " Yes." " Oh, boy." "She won't just call the police this time." " What is she going to do?" " I don't know." "I gotta get out of here." "Where is she?" "Carter?" "Carter?" "Josh?" "Josh, I want to talk to you." "When I snap my fingers, you are going to wake up." "Josh?" "Is this Margo?" "Do you know where the children are?" "Where?" "Dr. Waldheim?" "Dr. Waldheim!" "Did he tell you where Amy is?" "(Lift bell)" "Where's Amy, Dr. Waldheim?" "(Groaning)" "My God, my God." "Help!" "Help!" "(Honking horn)" "(Man) What's the matter with you?" "You almost took those people out!" "Are you blitzed again?" "(Man) I'll take it out of your pay!" "(2nd man) Guys, guys." "Cool it." "Manuel, you almost took the taxicab with you." "Move the truck." "Put it over there out of the way." "(Shouting in Spanish)" "(Ringing tone)" "(Phone)" "Carter escaped." "Let's go." "Yeah?" " It's Jenny O'Keefe." " Where are you?" "I'm at the Riviera Motel, I followed Waldheim here." "That's not Waldheim." "Just stay put." " Stay put, we'll be right over!" " I gotta go." "(Man) Jesus!" "Stop!" "You're gonna kill somebody with that sundial!" "Calm down." "Okay, stop." "Okay, now back it up." "(Shouting)" "(Lift bell)" "(Lift bell)" " Mommy!" " Oh, my God." " Mommy!" " So, this is my daughter-in-law." "God!" "What kind of a mother are you?" "Put that knife down and come out." " Give me my child!" " I want my mommy!" "I have a gun." "It's pointed at your heart." "If you have anything to say, say it gently," "I don't want you upsetting the child." "You're her mother." "You're scared and angry." "And if looks could kill, my dear," "I would be dead." "I want my mommy!" "It's okay, honey." "I'm here now and we're going to go home." "Now, drop the knife and come out of there." " Why are you doing this?" " I don't have time to explain." " Carter is waiting downstairs." " Carter is in there." "(Amy) I want my mommy!" "You're a poor liar, my dear." "Carter always does as he's told." "He's a good boy." "Once we're safely away, he'll be yours again." "But you might have to share him with the law." "Someone will have to pay for all these terrible crimes." " (Jenny) You did this." " I did nothing." "I don't even exist." "(Thunder rumbles)" "Now say goodbye to Amy and don't upset her." " Can I kiss her?" " No." "Don't force me to kill you." "It would be very harmful to the child." "Damn you!" "Look what you've done!" "(Thunder crashes)" "(Men shouting in Spanish)" "Mommy!" " Back up!" " Mommy!" "Back up!" "Now!" "Back up!" "(Nix) Do it!" "She's not there." "Let's go around front." "Stay in the car!" "(Jenny) We thought Carter was imagining his dead father." "Dr. Nix faked his suicide so that he could kidnap the children without the police tracking him down." "What about tracking down his son?" "Once Carter helped him get the kids he was disposable." "Dr. Nix planned to disappear and leave Carter for the police." "Did they find him yet?" "Mm-mm." "Do you think he'll come back?" "I don't know." "I hope so." "He needs help." " He needs to be locked up." " He needs to be in a hospital." "(Carter's voice, softly) Aaamyyy..." " (Sarah) Are you running for sainthood?" " He tried to kill you." " I know." "(Sarah) In case he shows up, I'd be packing a 45." "Jack's staying with me now, so..." "Better than a 45." "How's it going?" "Good." "He's been very supportive." "And Amy likes him." "Did you see the new bunny he brought her?" "Amy!" "Amy?" "!" "I'll be right back." "Amy!" "Amy?" "Amy?" "Where's Daddy?" "Daddy's not here, sweetie, he's gone away." " Daddy's here." " No, he's not." "Come on, we've got to get back." "Come to Mommy."
