"Previously on shark:" "We're dealing with a real psychopath, Wayne." "Twisted." "Vicious." "No conscience." "It's hard to believe that those kind of people actually exist in the world." "So all of a sudden, I figured, why not just provide the victim myself." "And they say I'm crazy." "Trust me." "You are." "You're crazy." ""To Julie." "Maison de chocolat. "" "Well, they're not from trevor." "He didn't send the flowers or the poem." "Well, who did?" "I don't know." "The victims were very much the same-- young, single, attractive women enjoying that time of life." "When everything seems possible, but often it's a time when the past comes back to haunt you." "To remind you of sins you thought were hidden." "Sometimes these sins are forgiven but when they're not, they fester..." "like a wound." "Guilt is a strange thing." "You can see it in people's eyes, in the way they move." "They carry it like a weight." "no matter how hard they try, they can't unburden themselves." "They need help." "I've always believed it's our job to help each other." "Next time you call meat 5:30 A. M. ," "I prefer you invite me to breakfast instead of a crime scene." "Yeah, well this isworth getting up for." "A Megan Cooper, 22 multiple knife wounds." "Victim's roommate said Megan went to a movie at 9:00 in Westwood, never came home." "Any similar crimes in the area?" "Not in the past year." "Well, if we're not looking at a pattern, why are we here?" "Oh, there's definitely a pattern." "Callison?" "That's his calling card." "Callis's doing life in kern valley." "But maybe it's a copycat." "We put this freak way a year ago." "Why now?" "Call for you." "Handle it!" "It's from Kern Valley Prison." "Kern Valley Prison level IV maximum security" "Dig the look, Wayne." "Is that the Manson makeover?" "I have missed the old Stark wit." "Well, I can't say that I've missed you." "Well, that's hurtful." "Cut the crap." "How did you know about Megan Cooper's murder?" "I'm psychic." "Psychoticis more like it." "It was your mo, Wayne, right down to the scrim shaw on the poor girl's thigh." "If you're accusing me of something, I feel fairly certain I have a strong alibi." "You made certain of that." "You're damn right I did." "Does it ever bother you, Sebastian?" "Falsifying an entire murder case against me?" "You know, Wayne, when my conscience starts to bother me," "I just think about those women you killed in cold blood." "Actually, their blood was quite warm." "How did you know about Megan Cooper?" "My book has garnered mea loyal fan base." "They keep me up to date." "If you know who did this, I can arrange to have your time be more comfortable here." "Oh, my time here is over." "Whoever killed miss Cooper has just favored me with the grounds for my appeal." "That is crazy, even for you." "Maybe, Sebastian, but we both know it'll be enough to get me a new trial, during which I will recoun in vivid detail your elaborate plot to frame me by cutting up a young woman's body and passing her off as a murder victim." "Imagine their chagrin when they realize they'relocked up the wrong lunatic." "I'll die before you walk out of here." "I hope not." "We have so much to talk about." "Been looking at some of Callison's fan mail." "Guy is a major celebrity." "Total freak show, huh?" "Beyond." "Found a few e-mails from a guy called Christopher Hoffs." "Lives in culver city." "Any connection to the victim?" "Not yet, but this guy is seriously twisted." "He treats Callison like some kind of a role model." "Listen to this: "People are ugly. "" "Their lies multiply like maggots on a corpse." ""Teach me to use blood to free them from their guilt and from their pain. "" ""With peace on earth and good will toward men. "" "Find him." "Christopher Hoffs?" "What do you want?" "From the da's office, investigating the murder of Megan Cooper." "he's killer hail satan he's killed seven. zodiac now say***" "Looks like you got yourself a hobby, Christopher." "Can we get this over wit according to theirs, you're a computer programmer, right?" "Educational software for kids." "that wouldn't have been my first guess." "That's a serious knife collection." "Knives aren't illegal." "Ah, they are if you use them to carve people up." "You know, whoever killed Megan Cooper was a huge Wayne Callison fan." "That makes sense." "Callison's an artist." "You two have quite an online friendship going on." "That's none of your business." "copycat murderer" "Where were you the night Megan Cooper was killed?" "Here." "Working." "You have anyone who can verify that for you?" "I mean... besides your pals here?" "Nope." "I work alone." "Did Callison tell you to kill Megan Cooper?" "You know what?" "You got any more questions, I'm gonna have to talk to my lawyer." "Tell him to meet us downtown." "sorry." "Hey." "So how's your college trip going?" "Oh, uh, great." "The Stanford library is enormous." "You get to sit in on any classes?" "Uh... not yet." "They're keeping us pretty busy." "Drink!" "What was that?" "Um, nothing." "When are you coming home?" "Amy and are going to Berkeley for two days torrow night and then we're going to spend the weekend in San Francisco." "Drink!" "Now, that sounds like some kind of party going on." "No, it's actually a cheer that they do." "It's... part of orientation." "Okay, I-I love you, dad." "Yeah, Julie, I'm gonna..." "Julie?" "the circumstancesof Megan Cooper's murder precisely match those of Hannah Morton's, the crime for whichI was falsely convicted." "Mr. Callison wrote a book detailing his crimes, your honor." "Any tom, dick, or psycho could have copied him." "You'd know all about that, Sebastian." "mr." "Callison claims that I personally framed him for the death of Hannah Morton, judge." "He also holds me responsible for global warming." "Your trial was well-publicized, mr." "Callison." "The similarity of Ms. Cooper's death to Ms. Morton's is not sufficient to warrant a new trial." "Exactly." "If you please, your honor, not all the forensic details came out at my trial." "This is such a waste of time, judge." "He has a right to be heard." "You will see, uh, your honor, that the wound patterns on both the victims' legs are nearly identical." "Not exactly breaking news." "But..." "Hannah Morton's assailant made a similar wound on her scalp beneath her hair line." "That scalp injury was not introduced into evidence during my trial." "Megan Cooper had the same injury." "So, by simple logic, it becomes clear that Megan Cooper and Hannah Morton were murdered by the same person." "As I was incarcerated at the time of Ms. Cooper's death, it stands to reason that I am also innocent of the murder of Ms. Morton." "Mr. Callison makes a compelling argument, Mr. Stark." "Yeah, well, 12 jurors found this man guilty beyond a reasonable doubt." "Juries make mistakes." "We all know that." "No, not this time." "You see, in law school, you learn about the four corners of the trial record, which means in the absence of reversible error no new evidence may be considered." "Therefore, your pretty pictures of the scalp wounds--totally inadmissible." "Your honor, surely..." "Mr. Stark is right." "Do you have any other proof to offer?" "No." "Then your request for a new trial is denied." "better luck next time, Wayne." "As you're fond of saying, Sebastian, I don't believe in luck." "did you take Callison down?" "Down and out." "What's the deal on Wayne's pen p?" "Priors for assault and stalking." "The cops arequestioning him now." "Could be our guy." "Turned out to bea pretty good day." "yes, sir." "What's going on?" "Prisoner escape!" "Officers down!" "What the hell happened?" "Callison overpowered the deputies on the way to the van." "Then he went for the driver." "you only got three deputies on this guy?" "Well, that's protocol." "Where the hell is he?" "!" "He took the van." "He's gone." "Chp has checkpoints set upon every major freeway." "Security's tripled at lax." "The deputy Callison crushed with the van--he didn't make it." "How about the other two?" "The guy has a fractured larynx." "The female deputy got a mild concussion." "She's in the hospital." "Looks like the judge was right to deny Callison's appeal." "News flash, kids." "The appeal was a scam." "Come on." "What do you mean?" "This guy already beat using court, remember?" "He's smart enough to know that tap dance about scalp wounds won't buy him a new trial." "He just wanted out of maximum security." "He knew that he'd have a shot to escape during transit." "And now we got two problems:" "The psycho copycat who did his Callison impression on Megan Cooper and the real thing about to give him a run for his money." "Dueling serial killers." "I can already hear the studios bidding on this one." "What about Callison's protég?" "Hoffs is still in custody." "Guy's a computer whiz." "Part of his correspondence with Callison is some kind of crazy code." "Use the FBI." "We translate those messages, chances are we nail Hoffs for Megan Cooper." "Where are you, Wayne?" "All units be advised individual matching subject's description seen at north end of Union Station." "Code three." "Anybody in here?" "You got three seconds to come out!" "Isaac?" "We got a report About a guy matching Callison's description leaving a men's room in Union Station." "We found a body." "The throat is cut, and somebody took his clothes." "Damn it!" "Let me guess." "The deceased was approximately six feet four inches tall." "Yeah, you got it." "All outgoing trains are being held and searche but I don't think Callison's in any rush to leave town." "And why is that?" "Your buddy Callison escaped." "So I heard." "Two people are dead." "So wipe that damn smile off your face." "Trust me." "Wayne is just getting started." "You two had your own little language." "Well, Wayne, you know, he likes his privacy." "So do we." "Did you kill Megan Cooper so Callison could escape?" "No." "Now look, I want my lawyer or I want to go home!" "You can't do that!" "Get up!" "We need you to translate these e-mails for us, Chris." "Go to hell!" "I think we pissed him off." "Oh, that's not good enough for a tough guy like him." "I was a detective for nine years." "I came across some real psychos." "Like those guys on your wall." "But you know, they had one thing in common." "They weren't afraid of pain." "Hell, they even liked it." "So tell me, you like pain, Chris?" "Let me out of here!" "a cop isead, and our boss is next." "So you're gonna give us what we need." "or we're gonna find out how much pain you can deal with." "Stop!" "I'll tell you what you want to know!" "thanks for your Cooperation." "Callison got Hoffs picked a victim at random." "He scoped out her address and her daily routine." "When it came timeto kill her, Hoffs backed out." "Tough to find good help these days." "So if Hoffs didn't kill Megan, who did?" "Callison told Hoffs he had someone to do the job, someone he called "N. "" "N?" "Any chance we can get few more letters?" "Maybe buy a vowel?" "The FBI decoded the rest of the e-mails from Callison." "The messages were sent to two different accounts." "Now, we thought they both belonged to Hoffs, but we were wrong." "So who the hell's Callison's other pen pal?" "The account is registered to Nancy Lisco." "The female deputy Callison knocked out when he escaped?" "Why would a sheriff's deputy kill an innocent girl and help Callison escape?" "Listen to this:" ""Counting the days until we're together, Nancy." "I love you. "" "Callison's a real romantic." "Nancy Lisco checked out of the hospital." "This just keeps getting better and better." "Over here." "This is deputy Lisco's office." "That's Julie." "Call Stark." "I hope your mom's okay." "Her back goes out all the time." "It just gives heran excuse to lie in bed and order me around." "Sounds like fun." "I am so sorry." "I feel so bad I dragged you back here early, Julie." "Seriously, it would have been so much fun this weekend." "Don't worry about it." "When we both get into Stanford, we can go to San Francisco whenever we want." "All right." "Thanks." "Drive safely." "All right." "I'll see you later." "Bye." "Hey, dad?" "Dad, are you home?" "No, it's just you and me." "What are you doing here?" "I'm waiting for you." "My dad is gonna be home any minute." "You want one?" "There's still a few left." "You sent those?" "And the flowers and the poem." "I'm your secret admirer." "please don't hurt me." "I promise." "It'll only hurt for a little while." "Alarm went off at 7:38 p.m." "Front door was open when the private security guys got here." "And Sid pulled Callison'sprints off the door." "She was supposed to bein San Francisco." "Why the hell would she come home early?" "!" "Lasd has the entire area sealed off." "That's really gonna stop him!" "Thanks" " what's the name of the girl that..." " I don't know her name." "Amy, Trish, I... her mother set up the trip." " I'll check her room." "Maybe it's written down somewhere." " Okay." "Have you called Julie's mom?" "She's traveling in Ireland." "I left a message for her brother." "We're gonna find her." "How the hell can this be happening?" "This is my fault!" "I should have gone up there." "I should have found her, and instead I let him get to her!" "I let this animal..." "Stark, look, we're gonna get her back, all right?" "It's my little girl." " Stark, we're gonna get her back." "Stark, but you need to pull it together." " No..." "Stark, Looks like Callison ran north of pacific coast highway and he has a teenage girl with him." "Did you get him?" "!" "It was a civilian sighting." "By the time we got a unit there he was gone." "But at least we know that they're still in Los Angeles." "Oh, great!" "This is, this is what I get from the FBI!" "Look, I know you're upset." "I'm upset?" "!" "You bet your ass I'm upset!" "I tend to get that way when my only child is kidnapped by a homicidal maniac!" "Take it easy." "Take it easy." "Callison may be too smart to track down." "Maybe we can get the deputy who killed Megan Cooper and helped Callison escape, all right?" "Her name's Nancy Lisco." "We have any lead on her whereabouts?" "The sheriff's departmentis questioning her husband right now, but he's not talking." "He'll talk to me." "Please, I-I won't tell anyone where you are." "Just let me go." "Your dad and I know each other so well, that you and I are practically strangers." "Your folks' divorce must have been really rough on you." "That's none of your business." "You know, from all the interviews I've read, your father hardly had any time for you." "He... he was working." "And he hated anything that stood in his way, especially a needy little girl like you." "That's not true." "Well, I supposeI could be wrong." "He did fight for custody during the divorce hearing, didn't he?" "At least he begged you to live with him when your mother moved to new york." "You must've been a bad little girl for him to hate you so much." "And bad little girls should be punished, shouldn't they?" "Oh, hey, nance." "Did you get the things we needed?" "Not much of a store." "I got what I could." "well, they're not exactly top of the line, but they'll do." "Oh, my god." "Are you sure we need to do this?" "She's just a kid." "It's all part of the plan." "I-I don't understand why we can't just leave." "Oh, trust me." "It'll all be over in a few minutes." "Please don't hurt me." "Please." "You know, your father and I are a lot alike." "We're good at what we do because we pay attention to detail." "We make a plan, we execute it." "It's all in the preparation." "Mr. Lisco, your wife met Wayne Callison during his murder trial last year." "She was working lockupin the courthouse." "They started writing back and forth." "I don't want to hear this." "Well, you're gonna have to hear about it!" "Because she's in love with this monster." "She killed for him, she helped him escape, and now he's got my 17-year-old daughter!" "And if I don't get to him in time, he's gonna kill her, too!" "Look... in my job," "I've met a lot of husbands whose wives have stepped out on them and got into big trouble." "And when push came to shove, almost every one of those men--every one-- stuck up for his wife, even though he knew that she had betrayed him." "I know you love your wife, and I understand that you want to protect her, but my baby girl is out there somewhere." "She's totally innocent, and she's my whole world." "I'm gonna need your help to bring her back home." "We've-we've got A... a trailer in Fender Canyon, near Malibu." "Fender Canyon Malibu, California." "We've tried to establish contact, but if anyone's in there, they're not responding." "What's the call?" "We need to go in." "You go in there gunsa-blazing, Julie could get hurt." "Can't we justwait him out?" "Guys like Callison do not react well to being cornered." "So offer him something." "He wants a new trial;" "let's give him one." "He doesn't want a new trial." "He wants me." "I'm trying to save your daughter, Mr. Stark." "In order to do that, I have to go in." "I don't need your blessing, but I'd like to have it." "Go." "Whenever you're ready." "FBI" "FBI***" "All clear." "We're all clear." "He's taken her somewhere else." "Check that." "We have a body in the closet, female." "Julie!" "Oh, god... god!" "Oh, god." "Stark." "Good morning, Sebastian." "You sound tired." "Rough night?" "Where's my daughter, you sick son of a bitch?" "!" "Oh, Julie's fine." "We're just getting to each other." "Let her go, Wayne." "I'm the one you want." "Now how could you possibly know what I want?" "Tell me, Wayne." "What do you want?" "Your best, Sebastian." "I want your best." "My best what?" "I'll explain when I see you." "When will that be?" "Soon enough, Sebastian." "When I picked up Julie, I left you a note." "It's underneath the James Hill sculpture." "That's a nice piece by the way." "Anyway, the note explains exactly what to do." "If you share it with the FBI, I will return your daughter to you... arms first." "Leher go, Wayne." "I won't run." "I won't bring the police." "Just be you and me." "You can do whatever you want." "You want to kill someone?" "Kill me." "Good things come to those who wait, Sebastian." "According to this, you have to be at a cabin in Topanga Canyon in two hours." "And I will be, alone." "You show up alone, he'l kill you both." "If Callison so much as smells a cop, he will kill my daughter and he will disappear." "Now, look, guys, I will leave in exactly one hour for Topanga." "No one follows me; he'll be looking for that." "Then we'll put a body wire on you." "No way." "Callison finds it, we're done." "Okay, when I get there, give me time to go in and talk him into releasing Julie." "Once she's safe... it's your call." "We'll see you up there." "I'll make sure everhing goes all right." "No." "I want you and Danny back in the office." "Oh, forget it." "Sit down." "Come on." "There's a good chance I'm not going to make it through this and that Callison will escape." " Oh, come on, boss..." " No." "If that happens, I need you guys to coordinate the man hunt." "We need to be out there too." "This isn't a request, Danny." "Go on." "Go." "I think you missed your calling, Sebastian." ""Most trial lawyers are just bad actors with a law degree. "" "Isn't that what you told newsweek?" "Where's my daughter, Wayne?" "I'm here, honey." "Oh, no, no, no, no, no." "You want a reunion, you'll have to earn it." "You okay, baby?" "I'm okay." "If you're on your game, Sebastian, she'll stay that way." "A gun, Wayne?" "It's kind of a novel weapon for you, isn't it?" "Well, it's a novel occasion." "I borrowed it from my ex-girlfriend." "She won't need it anymore." "I did what you asked." "I'm here." "No cops." "No FBI." "I'm sure that they will enjoy their field tripto Topanga Canyon." "It's beautiful up there this time of year." "By the time they realize you're not coming, we'll be all finished." "Get against the table, spread your legs." "I'm not armed, Wayne." "I'm not wearing a wire." "But you have put on a few pounds." "You should watch that, Sebastian." "You're not getting any younger." "Let her go, Wayne." "I'd like to." "But if you are really going to shine, you need some motivation." "What the hell are you talking about?" "I love this place." "I love it." "Superman had his fortress of solitude..." "Stark his private hall of justice." "What's your point?" "Simply this." "In this room, you have crafted hundreds of winning arguments, sussed out your opponents' weaknesses, exploited them with ruthless precision-- the ultimate predator." "I think you may be projecting a little there, Wayne." "Maybe, but I have a theory." "No man has been truly tested until his own bloodis on the line." " Which is why right here--in your very own, idealized courtroom..." " Wayne... you will do battle for the ultimate prize." "Your daughter's life." "Dad!" "You convince me you deserve your daughter, and you'll both walk out of here." "if you don't, you will watch her die while she begs her dady for help." "Dad..." ""Trial is war and second place is death. " Remember?" "It's time to practice what you preach." "Mr. Stark... you had no real use for your daughter for the first 16 years of her life, is that true?" "all ways loved her." "Always." "But on the rare occasions you were home, before the divorce, you spent most of your time in this room?" "Yes." "And the ballet recitals and the birthday parties, and all the things that your wife claire begged you to attend?" "I was an diot." "My priorities were screwed up." "My daughter knows how badly I feel." "But do you know how badly she feels?" "How worthless you have made her feel?" "That's not fair." "Order in the court!" "Your daughter... is a success in every way." "She is talented." "She's beautiful." "She's smart." "And yet just last year, she came crawling, bowing and scraping and begging your approval." "She has always had my approval." "I may not have shown it, but I have been proud of her since the day she was born." "I'm sure she's proud of you." "Putting dangerous criminals like me in prison." "Speaking of which, does she know how you did that?" "You already know that your father sometimes breaks the rules-- well, most of the time." "Um, he claims that I killed a young woman named Hannah Morton." "But that's not true, is it, Sebastian?" "No." "I don't understand." "Hannah Morton killed herself." "And then, your father had this poor young woman's body butchered... to make it look as if I'd done it." "He even enlisted her mother's help." "It was the only way to keep youfrom killing more people." "Oh, there it is." "There it is, the classic Stark rationalization." ""It satisfied my higher sense of justice "" "so it must have been right in the eyes of god." "And I would do it again in a heart beat!" "And therein lies the rub, Sebastian." "You are not just a narcissist, but an unrepentant one." "You were a lousy father." "You were a lying, duplicitous lawyer, and you do not deserve your daughter, Julie." "Do you?" "!" "Let us continue." "high profile crime." "Hello?" "What the hell?" "That call came from the phone in Stark's courtroom." "Well, I must say, Sebastian, you have not made much of a case for yourself." "And, uh..." "I'm afraid time is running out." "It doesn't matter what I say, Wayne." "You're gonna kill my daughter and then you're gonna kill me." "You surprise me." "Giving up on life before the final argument." "Do you want me to beg?" "Is that what you want, Wayne?" "Is that what you want me to do?" "In your position, not a bad strategy." "But far be it for me to dictate to the mast." "The, um... floor is yours." "The cops are on their way." "I can't begin to tell you how sorry I am you've had to go through this." "By choosing to deal with people like Wayne Callison, I did what I needed to do." "But I also brought you into that world." "And I will never forgive myself." "You asked me to convince you why I deserve to get my daughter back." "You did a hell of a job painting me as the world's worst human being." "And most of it's true." "But you left out one very important part." "I'm here." "After all the mistakes, after all the failures, after all the lies..." "I'm still trying to be your father." "I've let you down, Julie." "I've hurt you." "I've never been the man you needed me to be." "But even with all that, I came here today to trade my life for hers." "Not because I'm a hero." "Far from it." "But because I'm her father." "I love you, dad." "The defense rests." "Well done, Sebastian." "Heart felt, passionate." "I was moved." "But..." "I think... we both know what has to happen here." "You walk out of here right now, Wayne." "I give you my word." "I will never come after you." "Oh, that's whatI love about you, Sebastian:" "The blinding hubris... even in the shadow of death." "I won't let you do this." "Oh, I know this is difficult for you." "If you want her, Wayne, you're just going to have to kill me first." "Boom!" "Dad!" "Please don't hurt me!" "Please don't!" "Please don't hurt me, please!" "Dad!" "Drop the gun!" "Now!" "Drop it!" "No!" "Isaac, don't, no!" "I will blow her head off." "ck off!" "Now!" "That's not going to happen." "You fire that gun, you die." "It's your call." "Wayne, Wayne, be smart." "You can plead diminished capacity." "Worst case, you're right back where you started." "And I suppose you'll defend me?" "You've got a choice." "You die right here, right now." "Or you let her go." "And maybe you get another shot at me down the line." "Isn't that what you want?" "Don't you want me, Wayne?" "I want to take you up on that." "Put the gun and the knife on the floor." "Kick them over here." "All right, get on your knees." "Okay." "Okay..." "Put your hands behind your head." "Take her out of here, Isaac." "Take hert of here." "I got Callison." "I said take her out of here right now." "No!" "Julie..." "I'm not going." "Julie." "Go." "Now!" "Dad!" "Your daughter has a highly evolved sense of morality, Sebastian." "She must get it from her mother's Side." "Dad, don't!" "It's the only way." "He's never going to stop coming after us." "Go ahead, Sebastian." "Take the final step." "Come on." "It feels so good." "Show your daughter who you really are." "Boom." "I'm not you, Wayne." "I'm not you." "Face down on the floor." "Now!" "Get down!" "I'm here." "I will always be here."
