He has no face.
A mask. He always wears a mask.
- What kind of mask? - I can't...
- What does it look like? - It changes.
I can't show him that I hate him.
But you escape. What do you see when you escape?
I don't know. I'm just running...
and my legs are heavy from the drugs.
And then I'm lost. I'm running through hallways...
and there are all these rooms, and I don't know where to turn.
- He's behind me. - He's not behind you, Kate.
You get away.
- How? How do you get out? - Light.
Light. The light and the sun.
- Do you see a barn? - No.
- A house? - No.
- Cabin? - No.
There's nothing. Just the light.
It hurts my eyes. And...
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!
l...l left those girls behind. I wasn't thinking.
I just told myself to run, to run and run.
It's all right. It's OK. It's all right.
I left those girls.
It's all right. It's all behind you.
Are you pretty familiar with these woods?
Yeah. I come up here sometimes.
What do you run into up here?
Besides the obvious... hikers, bikers, campers.
Locals, college kids... that's about it.
- What about this river? - It's good for trout fishing.
It's been that way since the early colonial period.
It's over here.
What? What?
Guess I'll have to remember that my niece...
wouldn't be fooling around with some knucklehead.
Right.
Kate. You OK?
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 leukemia 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 a dozen predators operating in California now.
There's one...male Caucasian...
probably early thirties.
He's known as the Gentleman Caller.
They've been onto him for over a year.
And what I realized last night...
was that his abductions follow 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 FBl pick him up?
If I give Rudolph to the FBl and they make one mistake...
what happens to all these girls?
I can't risk Naomi starving to death in a cell somewhere.
No FBl.
You're going out there on your own.
I got people.
Take me with you.
I think you're best served by staying here.
And pretend like nothing's happened?
No. That's not what I was going to say.
I just think you should be trying...
I'm the only person who's seen this guy.
I know his size, his voice, I know the way he moves...
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.
You want to save your niece? Well, guess what? So do I.
Ought to see my cousin.
Alex!
- There he is. - Hey, hey.
Kate McTiernan, John Sampson.
DCPD, cousin, compadre extraordinaire.
- How do you do? - Hello, Kate.
Meet Henry Castillo, LAPD.
- Nice to meet you. - Pleasure.
- It is a pleasure. - Mine, Henry.
Alex, can we huddle?
Excuse me, Kate.
Well, this is a surprise.
Time was surprises made you giddy, John.
What's the matter?
Look, we're out on a limb here.
I've pulled every string.
I've called in 10 years of favors...
to get those cars and equipment.
This thing has got to go as smooth as silk...
or we are both fucked.
Understood.
I got him, 10:48 a.m, crossing the north window.
Attention.
Rudolph just walked past the window.
Thank you for the update.
It's him.
He's on the move.
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 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.
OK. Rudolph has landed.
There's a cabin about a half mile in.
So he hasn't traveled that far after all.
He's back in the woods.
First time in California?
It's a pretty state, isn't it?
It's unforgettable.
What's wrong? Huh?!
Go ahead! What?!
I can't hear you!
Don't tell me!
No! Shut up!
Because you said!
What the fuck is he doing?
He's in a rage.
He's going fucking nuts.
He's about to scare the wildlife out of this forest.
Do you see him?
What?
Piece of...
Tell me...
what did you see back there?
A killer getting organized.
He's not going to abduct somebody from this place.
This guy's pulled people out of these joints before.
Not in the triangle.
We'll cover him loose, see what he's got.
Henry, you stay here.
If it's so crowded, how come I can't come?
If he even thinks he sees you, it's over.
What about you?
20 years of experience blending in.
You stay with Henry.
There he is...
across the bar.
Damn, he's in there. Just like that.
Mr. Lover Lover.
We ought to nail his ass right now.
It's never been the same without Fernando.
I can't believe those guys let him go.
Unbelievable, man.
He had this knuckle ball. It was like a floater.
Then bam ! Right off the table.
Couldn't even come near it. You were kidding yourself.
What do you got down there?
The Durham Bulls? Right? Triple "A"?
Got any prospects?
EDF 40, full military specs.
I'm gonna go in.
What? Hey. Hold on.
- Come here, you. - I got to pee.
No. You don't. I'm not that stupid.
It's not really your style.
You don't know what my style is.
Your style is to help me blend in.
Henry, help me blend in.
Come on.
All right. Right here, right here.
OK, I am going to walk over and find our boys, all right?
You shall stay right here.
Mm-hmm.
You won't move.
Wonderful.
Hey.
Kate.
Is that him?
Is that Rudolph?
Yeah. Yeah, that's him.
It's him.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
- Come on. - OK.
Stand still.
Follow the tree line to the drive.
Henry, you break left. You and I will take the front.
Now, guys, remember, when it goes down...
I need this guy intact.
Alex.
Be careful.
Aah!
Help me.
Help.
Go.
- Uhh! - Aah!
It's OK. It's OK, it's OK.
Ohh!
Oh, shit. Henry. He's hit.
Come on, come on.
Just take it easy.
Hold it! Hold it!
Put your hands where I can see 'em !
Get out of the truck.
Get out of the truck!
Yeah, roger. We're ready to transport.
How is he?
I'm sorry, Sam.
For all this, I'm sorry.
Yes, shocking is an accurate way to describe...
what went on here in the early morning hours.
Local police won't comment, but channel 6 sources...
tell us what happened here in the pre-dawn hours...
Does this hurt?
...reaches beyond California...
and some say involves a rogue branch of the FBl...
They sure can document a fuckup at the speed of light.
I guarantee you won't be seeing a picture...
of that woman whose life you saved on TV.
OK, breathe in.
How's this?
A little tender there.
What about here?
We need x-rays.
Not a chance.
Gone in the night.
At least now the FBl know who they're looking for.
How far can he run?
It's not a question of how far.
It's how long.
...Questions and receiving very few answers.
Questioned on the scene, Detective John Sampson...
whom we've learned is about 3,000 miles...
What do you want to do?
Sampson is a detective in good standing...
with the Washington, D.C. police department.
Local police tell us...
Sampson was part of a rag-tag 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...
I'd like to see about making reservations...
from Los Angeles to Raleigh-Durham.
...was Dr. Rudolph, a man with no criminal record.
It's the return portion...
Hang up the phone, Kate.
Pardon me?
Hang up the phone.
Dr. McTiernan...
welcome to our crime scene.
The sight of yellow tape and flash bulbs...
must be getting a little old to you by now.
- A little. - You got here quick.
Not quick enough.
Now wait a minute, Kyle.
Let's not downplay the upside of this.
- Upside? - Yeah.
She lD'd Casanova. You got a trail.
Alex, don't even try. It's bad form.
The day you set foot in Durham...
I feel like you've been screwing me around.
Look, I let you in.
I shared information.
What have we got? A mess.
And a cop who's looking at two years of rehab.
Kyle, do you want me to say I fucked up?
All right. I fucked up.
Just...don't shut me out of this.
What do you see?
Maybe I'm looking too hard.
For what?
I don't know.
It seems so cold.
Not like him.
Alex.
Keep looking.
Thought the closet looked a little tight...
so I brought in a DX fluoroscope...
scanned what appeared to be a lunar module.
It's a freezer.
A trophy case.
Guy's got divergent MOs.
Don Juan on the east coast. Joseph Mengele on the west.
- We found feet. - What?
You heard me. Surgically band-sawed at the ankle.
Vacuum-bagged, 15 pair.
2 lefts. Go figure. Obviously not a dancer.
Check out the shrine.
Gentleman Caller...Casanova.
There hasn't been a true multi-territorial predator...
since Jean de Salle, 1921...
eviscerating Paris prostitutes...
and strangling widows on the Riviera.
And running a bicoastal operation.
This is the most ambitious stunt...
in the annals of serial pathology.
This guy is Houdini squared.
Put on the brakes now.
We're not dealing with Houdini here.
What we have here is Leopold and Loeb.
Home team...visitors.
We got 30 ampules of Sistol here.
The chronologies match.
There are two of them...
and they're collaborating.
Collaborating and competing.
Got an lD on him?
It's probably just some kid Rudolph did 20 years ago.
Comb through Missing Persons, we'll find him there.
- Don't bother. - You know who he is.
Mm-hmm. And he's got both his feet.
I'm giving you three minutes to throw the bolt.
Am I wasting my time?
OK, boys. Nobody home. You all take upstairs now.
- Yes, sir. - Be clean, boys.
Clean and thorough.
Keep the goddamn media out.
Nick, you got the chief there?
Alex.
How long has he been in the box?
Five hours. They took him in the middle of a class.
This is bullshit!
You know I wouldn't sanction this.
Hatfield got the tip. I don't know how.
Stages a huge public arrest.
By the time I'm on the ground, he's already got this guy...
You haul in $2 million of surveillance equipment...
and these clowns stage a cold arrest?
That is top-notch police work.
- This is all politics. - It's all bad, Kyle.
Not all.
Dr. Sachs.
It's good to see you again...
circumstances notwithstanding.
Can l, uh...
Can I get you anything?
Coffee? Soda?
Oh, come on, Wick.
There's some questions you can answer without a lawyer.
For instance, you might have said...
"Yes, thank you. I will have coffee,"
or "No, thank you." You know, just to be polite.
But you don't drink coffee, do you?
You probably stick to bottled water.
What the hell's he doing?
That's how you stay in fighting trim.
He's doing what he does.
Where's the best bottled water in the world come from?
The Alps?
Some French aquifer?
Futican.
Sorry?
Fu-ti-can.
It's Japanese. You wouldn't know it.
It's in the Japanese character to do this sort of thing.
They build these special ships...
and sail them to the farthest navigable extremes...
and look for the bluest iceberg they can find...
and they tow it back.
And one is able to drink something...
that was last in liquid form about 30,000 years ago.
Expensively clean.
What does it taste like?
Like water.
By the by, Alex...
writing a bestseller?
You must be a millionaire.
No. Far from it.
I bring it up only because I mean to sue you...
along with these other local imbeciles.
For what?
Defamation of character?
I like to fuck...
variously fuck...young women.
I have fucked nearly 100 of them in 75 ways...
but I have never hurt any of them.
There's no record of violence anywhere in my past.
Megan Murphy.
Oh, yeah.
This is a painstaking recreation of an image...
from Friedrick Thelen's Die Welt der Flagellanten.
Do you know it?
It took me 3 hours to tie her up properly.
And consensually, by the way.
Dr. Cross, tell me you have 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?
Maybe you'd like me to go on record now about Naomi.
I'll 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.
Which reminds me, Dr. Cross...
have you seen the photographs of Naomi?
Alex!
Hey! Hey! Back up!
Move! Move!
Unh!
Dr. Cross, put your hands down!
All right, settle down.
Settle down, all right?
Everything's all right.
Naomi...
well, you're just as pretty as your picture.
Beautiful feet.
What did you hear? Dogs?
Near the river?
No...
I hear him...whispering.
What does he say?
I can feel his mouth on my ear.
I take it we didn't get our confession.
We didn't. He's not Casanova.
His picture was on the wall.
That's part of their thing.
- But his picture... - Kate, it's a setup.
Brothers in arms, watching each other's backs.
Wick Sachs is a perfect patsy for them.
He's too smug and too vain to even know what hit him.
He's just a bush-league lech.
The cops think they got the right guy.
I've been listening to the tape.
Yeah?
Have you ever heard a fetal sonogram?
An ultrasound?
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, chickenhouse, doghouse...
the FBl checked everything out.
They missed it.
I saw the aerial photographs. They didn't miss an inch.
There were doors, there were walls...
there were stairs.
It was manmade. It was built.
When you escaped, you had no recollection of a house.
You said there was light. "Suddenly, there was light."
And I had been in a house. Alex, I am sure of it.
OK, here's what we're looking for.
A plantation layout.
See, now, there weren't plantations on the Wykagil.
There was a plantation.
What?
Check it out. All this is Mason's property.
Now, this is hundreds of acres.
Here's the big house, slave quarters, stables...
cellars for stashing food, ice, tunnels everywhere.
Can I see this?
River runs right through it.
Where was I found?
Around here. Two miles down from the big house.
OK.
Figure that's about a thousand yards, right?
Forget here. Forget here.
This square.
That's where we concentrate.
No!
Bach is crisp.
Crisp.
Buon giorno, fratello.
This is quite a collection you've assembled here.
Your palette is so...multi-cultural.
That's very P.C. I applaud you.
But this place is a little overdone, don't you think?
Subterranean gothic went out a while ago, didn't it?
You ought to get yourself a maid.
You know what this shit is?
This is Civil War bat guano. It's full of fungus.
You inhale enough of this stuff...
you'll have a prostate like a 70 year old.
What about you girls? Any complaints?
Any muscle aches? Lesions?
Malaise?
Come on...
don't you think they'd be better off in a freezer?
You know this is off-limits.
Nobody tracked me.
Just like your cabin in the woods, right?
I'm not the one who made all the phone calls.
I wasn't posting fucking photographs on the Web.
That's not how they found you, Will...
or they would have found me.
You don't belong here.
If you're here, I'm here.
I need you to help me.
I only want what I'd give you.
You gave me nothing!
Remember '75?
Roe Tierney, homecoming queen.
Blood on the walls.
I cleaned up your slop.
I always do.
Face it, Will, I'm your mentor...
and you're the bad seed.
Let me tell you something, my friend...
no matter how far out there you go...
no matter how you dress up...
when you come back...
you're still just like me.
Naomi, let's hear something triumphal.
Something worthy of rebirth.
Play something for me.
Play!
No!
She plays for me.
She only plays for you?
Well, of course she does!
Because you are the great lover!
The dark figure of her dreams!
Come on, darling.
Tell him.
Tell him how grateful you are.
Tell him how you always wanted to be his.
Go on. Tell him.
Tell him how you wait for him.
Tell him how he's the most sensitive...
the best you ever had.
Tell him that you love him.
That's what he wants to hear.
I could have aimed two inches to the left.
Don't forget who we are...
and who you'll be if I'm gone.
You could have a hundred women here...
but without me, you'd still be alone.
Take the stairs.
Go on! Go!
Police! Freeze!
Hold it!
Aah!
- Naomi? - Alex?
- I'll be back. - No, don't go!
I'll be back.
Alex!
I found them ! Up the hill!
- Yahoo! - Ha ha ha!
Aah!
William...
who is he?
Tell me his name.
He's too good.
You won't...
I'm waiting for the good news.
It keeps getting better. Come on.
This is Casanova's next crop, blueprinted to a "T."
And we're in luck. He didn't wear gloves.
Yes.
Yes, yes, yes.
OK, I want all this stuff to Quantico now.
If you can't find a plane, buy one.
Dr. Cross! The man that you shot...
...Sex slaves in L.A...
How did Casanova escape without a trace?
You got company.
Good to see you, Seth.
Thank you.
Hey, you.
Hi.
You OK?
Mm-hmm.
Got something for you.
Ta-da!
What happened to the strings?
New strings for new music.
Thank you.
- When's her mom coming down? - In the morning.
When are you heading out?
The bureau thinks...
they'll have Casanova lD'd within 12 hours...
which really means 24.
As soon as Kyle gets a bead on him, though, he's done...
no matter how much road he's burned.
After that, I'm out of here.
So then that's it?
I only have you for another day.
All right. Supper at my house. Home-cooked.
I promised Naomi I'd meet her at 8:30.
I'll make a lousy date.
Do whatever you gotta do.
Be at my house by 7:00, you'll be gone by 8:15.
Hey.
If you would just verify and sign there.
Ten shots fired...
and one W. Rudolph, room temperature.
Good luck to you, Alex.
You, too. Take care of yourself.
As you already know, the hostages are now safe...
and are being cared for at Carolina Regional Medical.
As for the forensics team...
they include our very best...
specialists in latent prints...
fiber and hair study...
serology, and DNA analysis.
We're very encouraged by their progress.
In less than two hours, over six...
Yeah, it feels... it feels really good.
It's not exactly normal. I think that'll take some time.
It's different, but it's nice.
It's like getting acquainted with an old friend.
Are those Rottweilers of yours out there on the case?
Well, I'm tempted to yank your chain...
but they're out there, standing post.
Is that what you call it?
Yeah.
Thanks for indulging me. I'll see you soon.
OK. Bye.
You got to live
For yourself
Yourself and nobody else
You've got to live
For yourself
Well, look who's here.
Hi, Detective.
Hi. Sorry to bother you.
I brought this from the property clerk.
I'm sorry. Would you like to come in for a minute?
May I get you something to drink?
No, thanks. Uh...
The next shift won't be here for an hour or so...
I really ought to wait for them out here.
Excuse me for just a minute. Don't go, OK?
Hello? Hi, Jen.
Son of a bitch.
Quit hovering. Come on in.
No, I'm not talking to you. I've got company.
Can I call you back?
Bye.
How do you feel about Indian food?
Oh, please, I don't want you to trouble yourself.
I could use some help cooking...
and I have enough food for an army.
Would you like a glass of wine?
No, thank you. I'm on duty.
Your first chore is to slice mushrooms.
I believe I can do that.
If you don't mind, rinse them first.
Come on.
Use a colander. That way'll take forever.
It's down on the...
Oh, shit.
How are you feeling, by the way?
You feeling like you're getting back on your feet?
I guess if I felt solid anywhere...
it should be in this house.
I've been in it in one way or another my whole life.
It was my great-aunt's.
But I don't know.
It's just different now. Something's off.
I used to walk in the middle of the night...
down to the corner market for a quart of milk.
That's true.
I mean, people just get complacent. It happens.
Would you please hand me the big chopping knife?
The department gives courses on self-defense.
I've been thinking about spending more time at the dojo.
Kick boxing's fine, but that's not what I mean.
I'm talking prevention.
We teach things like, uh... varying your routine.
Keeping your lights on at night. Maybe getting a dog.
I'm sorry. Does this bother you?
It's good. I need to hear it.
Just simple things, like, um...
carrying personal alarms.
Taking your garbage out the morning of.
Not using cordless phones.
Anyone with a scanner can listen in.
What does taking your garbage out the morning of...
have to do with anything?
Night before, anyone can tear through it.
Who in the world possibly cares how much tuna I eat?
Would you rinse this off for me, please?
Think about it. A guy could come by, say...
Tuesday night, 3:00 in the morning...
dump your trash in one of those 30-gallon plastic sacks.
Haul it down to an abandoned lot and bingo!
- There it is. - Thank you.
What a lady eats, how often she shaves.
He can even tell a lady's time of the month.
Anything you want to know.
What kind of lipstick she wears...
and used condoms.
How often's she gettin' it? Twice a week?
Three times?
The same guy, different guys?
Of course, that doesn't apply to you.
Let's face it. In your case, it's been quite a while.
Not since that... that surgeon...
What? Six, seven months ago?
You were special, Kate.
Do you have any idea how much time I gave you?
Months.
Yes, months.
I sacrificed for you...
but now I'm going to show you sacrifice.
What are you going to do? Are you going to cut me?
Do it!
Good girl.
Sometimes I live in the country, baby
Sometimes I live in town
Sometimes I take a strange notion
To jump in the river and drown
Irene, good night
Good night, Irene, good night
Aah!
I'll see you in my dreams
Now I'll show you.
Sing, everybody
Irene, good night
Good night, Irene, good night
Aah!
I'll see you in my dreams
Aah!
Unh...
Don't do it, Nick.
Alex.
Let's talk about it, OK?
You want to put the lighter down, Nick?
Please?
She has to know.
She knows, Nick.
Then why don't you shoot me?
Ah, I don't think so.
Muzzle flare, room full of gas, all that, you know?
Look, Nick...
I'm gonna put the gun down.
Look, see?
There now. How's that?
I want you to think about this, Nick.
If you do this, no one will ever understand.
Oh, don't mind-fuck me!
No, I'm not, Nick.
See, Kate? It's all about building rapport.
You use the subject's first name...
and your tone... you gotta keep it soft...
and steady.
Establish eye contact...
seek his level.
You want to know the truth, Alex?
You're the one who really needs help.
Well, enlighten me, Nick.
Tell me what truth is.
Truth is looking at a beautiful woman...
like our Kate here...
and saying to yourself...
"l gotta have that.
"l gotta break her down."
It's your basest animal self.
Dig deep, Alex.
You'll recognize him.
He's ugly.
I've run into him now and then.
Go ahead.
Reach for the Glock and take me down...
before I tell you about the 10 days I spent with Naomi.
10 days, Doc...
things she'd never tell you.
My brown sugar...
face like an angel...
perfect...
every inch of her.
You never knew Naomi.
Not like I did.
Deep down...
you envy me that.
Say it.
I don't work like you.
I don't...hate.
You only wish you had the courage.
Good night...
Sweet Kate.
Kate...
it's all right, Kate.
Are you pretty familiar with these woods?
Yeah. I come up here sometimes.
What do you run into up here?
Besides the obvious... hikers, bikers, campers.
Locals, college kids... that's about it.
- What about this river? - It's good for trout fishing.
It's been that way since the early colonial period.
It's over here.
What? What?
Guess I'll have to remember that my niece...
wouldn't be fooling around with some knucklehead.
Right.
Kate. You OK?
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 leukemia 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 a dozen predators operating in California now.
There's one...male Caucasian...
probably early thirties.
He's known as the Gentleman Caller.
They've been onto him for over a year.
And what I realized last night...
was that his abductions follow 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 FBl pick him up?
If I give Rudolph to the FBl and they make one mistake...
what happens to all these girls?
I can't risk Naomi starving to death in a cell somewhere.
No FBl.
You're going out there on your own.
I got people.
Take me with you.
I think you're best served by staying here.
And pretend like nothing's happened?
No. That's not what I was going to say.
I just think you should be trying...
I'm the only person who's seen this guy.
I know his size, his voice, I know the way he moves...
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.
You want to save your niece? Well, guess what? So do I.
Ought to see my cousin.
Alex!
- There he is. - Hey, hey.
Kate McTiernan, John Sampson.
DCPD, cousin, compadre extraordinaire.
- How do you do? - Hello, Kate.
Meet Henry Castillo, LAPD.
- Nice to meet you. - Pleasure.
- It is a pleasure. - Mine, Henry.
Alex, can we huddle?
Excuse me, Kate.
Well, this is a surprise.
Time was surprises made you giddy, John.
What's the matter?
Look, we're out on a limb here.
I've pulled every string.
I've called in 10 years of favors...
to get those cars and equipment.
This thing has got to go as smooth as silk...
or we are both fucked.
Understood.
I got him, 10:48 a.m, crossing the north window.
Attention.
Rudolph just walked past the window.
Thank you for the update.
It's him.
He's on the move.
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 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.
OK. Rudolph has landed.
There's a cabin about a half mile in.
So he hasn't traveled that far after all.
He's back in the woods.
First time in California?
It's a pretty state, isn't it?
It's unforgettable.
What's wrong? Huh?!
Go ahead! What?!
I can't hear you!
Don't tell me!
No! Shut up!
Because you said!
What the fuck is he doing?
He's in a rage.
He's going fucking nuts.
He's about to scare the wildlife out of this forest.
Do you see him?
What?
Piece of...
Tell me...
what did you see back there?
A killer getting organized.
He's not going to abduct somebody from this place.
This guy's pulled people out of these joints before.
Not in the triangle.
We'll cover him loose, see what he's got.
Henry, you stay here.
If it's so crowded, how come I can't come?
If he even thinks he sees you, it's over.
What about you?
20 years of experience blending in.
You stay with Henry.
There he is...
across the bar.
Damn, he's in there. Just like that.
Mr. Lover Lover.
We ought to nail his ass right now.
It's never been the same without Fernando.
I can't believe those guys let him go.
Unbelievable, man.
He had this knuckle ball. It was like a floater.
Then bam ! Right off the table.
Couldn't even come near it. You were kidding yourself.
What do you got down there?
The Durham Bulls? Right? Triple "A"?
Got any prospects?
EDF 40, full military specs.
I'm gonna go in.
What? Hey. Hold on.
- Come here, you. - I got to pee.
No. You don't. I'm not that stupid.
It's not really your style.
You don't know what my style is.
Your style is to help me blend in.
Henry, help me blend in.
Come on.
All right. Right here, right here.
OK, I am going to walk over and find our boys, all right?
You shall stay right here.
Mm-hmm.
You won't move.
Wonderful.
Hey.
Kate.
Is that him?
Is that Rudolph?
Yeah. Yeah, that's him.
It's him.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
- Come on. - OK.
Stand still.
Follow the tree line to the drive.
Henry, you break left. You and I will take the front.
Now, guys, remember, when it goes down...
I need this guy intact.
Alex.
Be careful.
Aah!
Help me.
Help.
Go.
- Uhh! - Aah!
It's OK. It's OK, it's OK.
Ohh!
Oh, shit. Henry. He's hit.
Come on, come on.
Just take it easy.
Hold it! Hold it!
Put your hands where I can see 'em !
Get out of the truck.
Get out of the truck!
Yeah, roger. We're ready to transport.
How is he?
I'm sorry, Sam.
For all this, I'm sorry.
Yes, shocking is an accurate way to describe...
what went on here in the early morning hours.
Local police won't comment, but channel 6 sources...
tell us what happened here in the pre-dawn hours...
Does this hurt?
...reaches beyond California...
and some say involves a rogue branch of the FBl...
They sure can document a fuckup at the speed of light.
I guarantee you won't be seeing a picture...
of that woman whose life you saved on TV.
OK, breathe in.
How's this?
A little tender there.
What about here?
We need x-rays.
Not a chance.
Gone in the night.
At least now the FBl know who they're looking for.
How far can he run?
It's not a question of how far.
It's how long.
...Questions and receiving very few answers.
Questioned on the scene, Detective John Sampson...
whom we've learned is about 3,000 miles...
What do you want to do?
Sampson is a detective in good standing...
with the Washington, D.C. police department.
Local police tell us...
Sampson was part of a rag-tag 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...
I'd like to see about making reservations...
from Los Angeles to Raleigh-Durham.
...was Dr. Rudolph, a man with no criminal record.
It's the return portion...
Hang up the phone, Kate.
Pardon me?
Hang up the phone.
Dr. McTiernan...
welcome to our crime scene.
The sight of yellow tape and flash bulbs...
must be getting a little old to you by now.
- A little. - You got here quick.
Not quick enough.
Now wait a minute, Kyle.
Let's not downplay the upside of this.
- Upside? - Yeah.
She lD'd Casanova. You got a trail.
Alex, don't even try. It's bad form.
The day you set foot in Durham...
I feel like you've been screwing me around.
Look, I let you in.
I shared information.
What have we got? A mess.
And a cop who's looking at two years of rehab.
Kyle, do you want me to say I fucked up?
All right. I fucked up.
Just...don't shut me out of this.
What do you see?
Maybe I'm looking too hard.
For what?
I don't know.
It seems so cold.
Not like him.
Alex.
Keep looking.
Thought the closet looked a little tight...
so I brought in a DX fluoroscope...
scanned what appeared to be a lunar module.
It's a freezer.
A trophy case.
Guy's got divergent MOs.
Don Juan on the east coast. Joseph Mengele on the west.
- We found feet. - What?
You heard me. Surgically band-sawed at the ankle.
Vacuum-bagged, 15 pair.
2 lefts. Go figure. Obviously not a dancer.
Check out the shrine.
Gentleman Caller...Casanova.
There hasn't been a true multi-territorial predator...
since Jean de Salle, 1921...
eviscerating Paris prostitutes...
and strangling widows on the Riviera.
And running a bicoastal operation.
This is the most ambitious stunt...
in the annals of serial pathology.
This guy is Houdini squared.
Put on the brakes now.
We're not dealing with Houdini here.
What we have here is Leopold and Loeb.
Home team...visitors.
We got 30 ampules of Sistol here.
The chronologies match.
There are two of them...
and they're collaborating.
Collaborating and competing.
Got an lD on him?
It's probably just some kid Rudolph did 20 years ago.
Comb through Missing Persons, we'll find him there.
- Don't bother. - You know who he is.
Mm-hmm. And he's got both his feet.
I'm giving you three minutes to throw the bolt.
Am I wasting my time?
OK, boys. Nobody home. You all take upstairs now.
- Yes, sir. - Be clean, boys.
Clean and thorough.
Keep the goddamn media out.
Nick, you got the chief there?
Alex.
How long has he been in the box?
Five hours. They took him in the middle of a class.
This is bullshit!
You know I wouldn't sanction this.
Hatfield got the tip. I don't know how.
Stages a huge public arrest.
By the time I'm on the ground, he's already got this guy...
You haul in $2 million of surveillance equipment...
and these clowns stage a cold arrest?
That is top-notch police work.
- This is all politics. - It's all bad, Kyle.
Not all.
Dr. Sachs.
It's good to see you again...
circumstances notwithstanding.
Can l, uh...
Can I get you anything?
Coffee? Soda?
Oh, come on, Wick.
There's some questions you can answer without a lawyer.
For instance, you might have said...
"Yes, thank you. I will have coffee,"
or "No, thank you." You know, just to be polite.
But you don't drink coffee, do you?
You probably stick to bottled water.
What the hell's he doing?
That's how you stay in fighting trim.
He's doing what he does.
Where's the best bottled water in the world come from?
The Alps?
Some French aquifer?
Futican.
Sorry?
Fu-ti-can.
It's Japanese. You wouldn't know it.
It's in the Japanese character to do this sort of thing.
They build these special ships...
and sail them to the farthest navigable extremes...
and look for the bluest iceberg they can find...
and they tow it back.
And one is able to drink something...
that was last in liquid form about 30,000 years ago.
Expensively clean.
What does it taste like?
Like water.
By the by, Alex...
writing a bestseller?
You must be a millionaire.
No. Far from it.
I bring it up only because I mean to sue you...
along with these other local imbeciles.
For what?
Defamation of character?
I like to fuck...
variously fuck...young women.
I have fucked nearly 100 of them in 75 ways...
but I have never hurt any of them.
There's no record of violence anywhere in my past.
Megan Murphy.
Oh, yeah.
This is a painstaking recreation of an image...
from Friedrick Thelen's Die Welt der Flagellanten.
Do you know it?
It took me 3 hours to tie her up properly.
And consensually, by the way.
Dr. Cross, tell me you have 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?
Maybe you'd like me to go on record now about Naomi.
I'll 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.
Which reminds me, Dr. Cross...
have you seen the photographs of Naomi?
Alex!
Hey! Hey! Back up!
Move! Move!
Unh!
Dr. Cross, put your hands down!
All right, settle down.
Settle down, all right?
Everything's all right.
Naomi...
well, you're just as pretty as your picture.
Beautiful feet.
What did you hear? Dogs?
Near the river?
No...
I hear him...whispering.
What does he say?
I can feel his mouth on my ear.
I take it we didn't get our confession.
We didn't. He's not Casanova.
His picture was on the wall.
That's part of their thing.
- But his picture... - Kate, it's a setup.
Brothers in arms, watching each other's backs.
Wick Sachs is a perfect patsy for them.
He's too smug and too vain to even know what hit him.
He's just a bush-league lech.
The cops think they got the right guy.
I've been listening to the tape.
Yeah?
Have you ever heard a fetal sonogram?
An ultrasound?
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, chickenhouse, doghouse...
the FBl checked everything out.
They missed it.
I saw the aerial photographs. They didn't miss an inch.
There were doors, there were walls...
there were stairs.
It was manmade. It was built.
When you escaped, you had no recollection of a house.
You said there was light. "Suddenly, there was light."
And I had been in a house. Alex, I am sure of it.
OK, here's what we're looking for.
A plantation layout.
See, now, there weren't plantations on the Wykagil.
There was a plantation.
What?
Check it out. All this is Mason's property.
Now, this is hundreds of acres.
Here's the big house, slave quarters, stables...
cellars for stashing food, ice, tunnels everywhere.
Can I see this?
River runs right through it.
Where was I found?
Around here. Two miles down from the big house.
OK.
Figure that's about a thousand yards, right?
Forget here. Forget here.
This square.
That's where we concentrate.
No!
Bach is crisp.
Crisp.
Buon giorno, fratello.
This is quite a collection you've assembled here.
Your palette is so...multi-cultural.
That's very P.C. I applaud you.
But this place is a little overdone, don't you think?
Subterranean gothic went out a while ago, didn't it?
You ought to get yourself a maid.
You know what this shit is?
This is Civil War bat guano. It's full of fungus.
You inhale enough of this stuff...
you'll have a prostate like a 70 year old.
What about you girls? Any complaints?
Any muscle aches? Lesions?
Malaise?
Come on...
don't you think they'd be better off in a freezer?
You know this is off-limits.
Nobody tracked me.
Just like your cabin in the woods, right?
I'm not the one who made all the phone calls.
I wasn't posting fucking photographs on the Web.
That's not how they found you, Will...
or they would have found me.
You don't belong here.
If you're here, I'm here.
I need you to help me.
I only want what I'd give you.
You gave me nothing!
Remember '75?
Roe Tierney, homecoming queen.
Blood on the walls.
I cleaned up your slop.
I always do.
Face it, Will, I'm your mentor...
and you're the bad seed.
Let me tell you something, my friend...
no matter how far out there you go...
no matter how you dress up...
when you come back...
you're still just like me.
Naomi, let's hear something triumphal.
Something worthy of rebirth.
Play something for me.
Play!
No!
She plays for me.
She only plays for you?
Well, of course she does!
Because you are the great lover!
The dark figure of her dreams!
Come on, darling.
Tell him.
Tell him how grateful you are.
Tell him how you always wanted to be his.
Go on. Tell him.
Tell him how you wait for him.
Tell him how he's the most sensitive...
the best you ever had.
Tell him that you love him.
That's what he wants to hear.
I could have aimed two inches to the left.
Don't forget who we are...
and who you'll be if I'm gone.
You could have a hundred women here...
but without me, you'd still be alone.
Take the stairs.
Go on! Go!
Police! Freeze!
Hold it!
Aah!
- Naomi? - Alex?
- I'll be back. - No, don't go!
I'll be back.
Alex!
I found them ! Up the hill!
- Yahoo! - Ha ha ha!
Aah!
William...
who is he?
Tell me his name.
He's too good.
You won't...
I'm waiting for the good news.
It keeps getting better. Come on.
This is Casanova's next crop, blueprinted to a "T."
And we're in luck. He didn't wear gloves.
Yes.
Yes, yes, yes.
OK, I want all this stuff to Quantico now.
If you can't find a plane, buy one.
Dr. Cross! The man that you shot...
...Sex slaves in L.A...
How did Casanova escape without a trace?
You got company.
Good to see you, Seth.
Thank you.
Hey, you.
Hi.
You OK?
Mm-hmm.
Got something for you.
Ta-da!
What happened to the strings?
New strings for new music.
Thank you.
- When's her mom coming down? - In the morning.
When are you heading out?
The bureau thinks...
they'll have Casanova lD'd within 12 hours...
which really means 24.
As soon as Kyle gets a bead on him, though, he's done...
no matter how much road he's burned.
After that, I'm out of here.
So then that's it?
I only have you for another day.
All right. Supper at my house. Home-cooked.
I promised Naomi I'd meet her at 8:30.
I'll make a lousy date.
Do whatever you gotta do.
Be at my house by 7:00, you'll be gone by 8:15.
Hey.
If you would just verify and sign there.
Ten shots fired...
and one W. Rudolph, room temperature.
Good luck to you, Alex.
You, too. Take care of yourself.
As you already know, the hostages are now safe...
and are being cared for at Carolina Regional Medical.
As for the forensics team...
they include our very best...
specialists in latent prints...
fiber and hair study...
serology, and DNA analysis.
We're very encouraged by their progress.
In less than two hours, over six...
Yeah, it feels... it feels really good.
It's not exactly normal. I think that'll take some time.
It's different, but it's nice.
It's like getting acquainted with an old friend.
Are those Rottweilers of yours out there on the case?
Well, I'm tempted to yank your chain...
but they're out there, standing post.
Is that what you call it?
Yeah.
Thanks for indulging me. I'll see you soon.
OK. Bye.
You got to live
For yourself
Yourself and nobody else
You've got to live
For yourself
Well, look who's here.
Hi, Detective.
Hi. Sorry to bother you.
I brought this from the property clerk.
I'm sorry. Would you like to come in for a minute?
May I get you something to drink?
No, thanks. Uh...
The next shift won't be here for an hour or so...
I really ought to wait for them out here.
Excuse me for just a minute. Don't go, OK?
Hello? Hi, Jen.
Son of a bitch.
Quit hovering. Come on in.
No, I'm not talking to you. I've got company.
Can I call you back?
Bye.
How do you feel about Indian food?
Oh, please, I don't want you to trouble yourself.
I could use some help cooking...
and I have enough food for an army.
Would you like a glass of wine?
No, thank you. I'm on duty.
Your first chore is to slice mushrooms.
I believe I can do that.
If you don't mind, rinse them first.
Come on.
Use a colander. That way'll take forever.
It's down on the...
Oh, shit.
How are you feeling, by the way?
You feeling like you're getting back on your feet?
I guess if I felt solid anywhere...
it should be in this house.
I've been in it in one way or another my whole life.
It was my great-aunt's.
But I don't know.
It's just different now. Something's off.
I used to walk in the middle of the night...
down to the corner market for a quart of milk.
That's true.
I mean, people just get complacent. It happens.
Would you please hand me the big chopping knife?
The department gives courses on self-defense.
I've been thinking about spending more time at the dojo.
Kick boxing's fine, but that's not what I mean.
I'm talking prevention.
We teach things like, uh... varying your routine.
Keeping your lights on at night. Maybe getting a dog.
I'm sorry. Does this bother you?
It's good. I need to hear it.
Just simple things, like, um...
carrying personal alarms.
Taking your garbage out the morning of.
Not using cordless phones.
Anyone with a scanner can listen in.
What does taking your garbage out the morning of...
have to do with anything?
Night before, anyone can tear through it.
Who in the world possibly cares how much tuna I eat?
Would you rinse this off for me, please?
Think about it. A guy could come by, say...
Tuesday night, 3:00 in the morning...
dump your trash in one of those 30-gallon plastic sacks.
Haul it down to an abandoned lot and bingo!
- There it is. - Thank you.
What a lady eats, how often she shaves.
He can even tell a lady's time of the month.
Anything you want to know.
What kind of lipstick she wears...
and used condoms.
How often's she gettin' it? Twice a week?
Three times?
The same guy, different guys?
Of course, that doesn't apply to you.
Let's face it. In your case, it's been quite a while.
Not since that... that surgeon...
What? Six, seven months ago?
You were special, Kate.
Do you have any idea how much time I gave you?
Months.
Yes, months.
I sacrificed for you...
but now I'm going to show you sacrifice.
What are you going to do? Are you going to cut me?
Do it!
Good girl.
Sometimes I live in the country, baby
Sometimes I live in town
Sometimes I take a strange notion
To jump in the river and drown
Irene, good night
Good night, Irene, good night
Aah!
I'll see you in my dreams
Now I'll show you.
Sing, everybody
Irene, good night
Good night, Irene, good night
Aah!
I'll see you in my dreams
Aah!
Unh...
Don't do it, Nick.
Alex.
Let's talk about it, OK?
You want to put the lighter down, Nick?
Please?
She has to know.
She knows, Nick.
Then why don't you shoot me?
Ah, I don't think so.
Muzzle flare, room full of gas, all that, you know?
Look, Nick...
I'm gonna put the gun down.
Look, see?
There now. How's that?
I want you to think about this, Nick.
If you do this, no one will ever understand.
Oh, don't mind-fuck me!
No, I'm not, Nick.
See, Kate? It's all about building rapport.
You use the subject's first name...
and your tone... you gotta keep it soft...
and steady.
Establish eye contact...
seek his level.
You want to know the truth, Alex?
You're the one who really needs help.
Well, enlighten me, Nick.
Tell me what truth is.
Truth is looking at a beautiful woman...
like our Kate here...
and saying to yourself...
"l gotta have that.
"l gotta break her down."
It's your basest animal self.
Dig deep, Alex.
You'll recognize him.
He's ugly.
I've run into him now and then.
Go ahead.
Reach for the Glock and take me down...
before I tell you about the 10 days I spent with Naomi.
10 days, Doc...
things she'd never tell you.
My brown sugar...
face like an angel...
perfect...
every inch of her.
You never knew Naomi.
Not like I did.
Deep down...
you envy me that.
Say it.
I don't work like you.
I don't...hate.
You only wish you had the courage.
Good night...
Sweet Kate.
Kate...
it's all right, Kate.
