Yeah! Help!

Help! I'm here! Where are you? I'm here! I'm over here! You okay?

Yeah, you can see my eyes.

Police!

Freeze! Hey, hey, I'm Nick Cooper. I'm with the VCTF. Everything's under

control.

Dr. Ward, you okay?

I hit him. He fell down. What do you got down there, guys?

It's a woman.

She's at it. Hey, Captain, slaves in handcuffs.

FBI issued cuffs.

You'll want to call a lawyer afterwards.

I'm taking you in on suspicion of murder.

What's happening?

Police business, sir. Please move along.

Big?

What I heard is that the FBI just killed some poor woman in there.

Move along. We got work to do.

You guys stood together, don't you?

Why, it's getting so it ain't safe to walk the streets no more.

This is the path of a bullet right here.

It actually nicked his heart and we had to sew up a gash in the right ventricle.

But the prognosis is good.

It's guarded, but it's good.

I thought I was never going to see you again.

Short of showing them what happened. Are you okay?

Yeah.

In your eyes, they don't look inflamed, so whatever Jack used, it looks like

it's gone.

How is he? He's working hard to stay alive.

They fixed his plumbing, and the surgeon says the rest is up to bailing.

He's a tough old bastard.

Nearly bled out on the floor before we got here.

How could Francis shoot him and just leave?

Out the waters?

We need to talk.

Back off, Lou.

This is VCTF business.

Couldn't this just wait till morning? I don't think she can make much sense of

it right now. Well, she needs to try.

I've got one attempted murder, one alleged murderer, and a body I can't

Dollar Turner's.

Okay, wait a minute. Here.

This may help you. I copied Jack's internet traffic. It's got photos of Dr.

Waters as his prisoner.

I can get you the puzzle he left for us to find her.

You check that out. It's obvious you couldn't have been the murderer.

I'm her doctor.

I'm going to give her a physical, and then I'm going to prescribe a good

sleep. Thank you.

Okay. You take your medicine, but you come see me in the morning, Dr. Waters.

Sleep tight.

Dr. Waters?

My name is Casper. We've never met before, but Bailey probably mentioned

Um... Yes.

Once or twice, you're... You're in the CIA, aren't you?

I do favors for my country. Call me a back channel.

Why don't we step over this way?

Oh, okay.

I came to Atlanta to see Bailey.

I didn't expect to find him like this.

We have a crisis.

And you're going to have to handle it.

No, I can't take a case right now. His name is Ashok Dupree. The man is a

walking plague.

He killed more than 40 people in the 70s, all in Indochina. He escaped from a

Calcutta prison last week.

to New York yesterday.

God forbid he starts killing again before you find him.

I'm sorry, but I can't do this right now.

I told the president that you were the only one who can.

And Bailey would tell you it can't wait.

You do this and I'll buy you time. Time to find out how Darla Turner died.

Turn me down and you're on your own.

You can sleep on it, but get back to me soon.

So I'm going to wait out here for you. All right. You'll be fine.

Just tell them what happened. I don't know what happened.

If I killed that woman, you were defending yourself.

You thought it was Jack.

I just don't know what's real and what isn't anymore.

Dr. Waters, I'll use my own.

Angela. Hi.

Listen, how bad is this for her?

Well, that depends on how hard Hannibal wants to push it, you know. He's got

some pretty damning physical evidence.

It was Jack, period.

We know that, but... Hannibal may work it, so is Sam's burden of proof.

Spoke to George and Grace this morning.

Neither one of them slept.

Nobody's eating.

Bailey and Sam are down in one day. I can't believe it.

Is there any word on Bailey's daughter?

She's gone. I spoke to her friends and checked her old hangouts in Baltimore.

Nothing. She probably took a few bucks and hitched a ride out of Atlanta.

When did you get back from Charlotte?

I never went.

It was a wonderful offer, but I'm not going to go for it.

It's too disruptive.

I'm glad you're not leaving.

I miss you a hell of a lot.

I took a look at the Internet stuff.

Your roommate told me she called your cell phone and Jack answered. Yes, he

I guess. Must have been a terrible ordeal.

I mean, he's been making your life a misery. You were obviously overawed. You

struck out. I couldn't see.

Everything was a blur.

Before we're done here, it won't be.

We'll have the facts in front of us.

And from my experience, Dr. Waters, I think you'll be relieved.

I've got your prints on the murder weapon, your handcuffs on the victim,

your autopsy confirms that she was alive before she fell down the shaft.

He set me up.

To kill her?

Yeah. All right.

I would like you to repeat that for a stenographer, and then maybe you'd like

call a lawyer. But first, I need you to sign a form here, acknowledging that you

know your rights.

You're arresting me.

Oh, I surely am.

Like I said, confession is a relief.

I'm busy in here.

Peter Kozlowski, U .S. Attorney. I know who you are, Kozlowski. You don't barge

into my office. Dr. Waters.

It's been a while.

Here's the thing, Lou. I've got a warrant.

Signed by Judge Brooks of the 3rd Federal District, remanding your

my custody.

You can't have her.

Yes, I can.

It's now a federal prosecution.

But when we're through with Dr. Waters, she's all yours.

Dr. Waters, let's go.

Sign her up. Yes, sir.

Well, that ought to keep him off your back.

I'm sorry, I don't understand.

Oh, this is just a formality. A man that I think you know from Washington told

me you needed a smoke screen.

So I'll keep the federal warrant open, and you'll be on your own recognizance

for as long as you like.

One day, Handelman will get a shot.

Well, that's none of my affair.

So, good luck.

Thank you.

Relax. What do you want from me?

An answer.

Mommy.

I'm sorry.

Mommy was having a nightmare.

I'm sorry.

Other people have nightmares.

Sometimes when people are scared and they go to bed at night, what they're

scared of creeps into their dreams, and it can make their dreams bad.

What are you scared of?

Well, Mama's just worried about Uncle Bailey. He's not feeling so good.

Can we go visit him?

Yeah. Yeah, I think we should do that.

Maybe we'll go in a couple days, okay?

A couple days and everything's going to be just fine.

Yeah.

I tell you what, why don't you sleep in here with me at night, okay?

Okay. Okay.

Koo?

Koo, I need your help.

This is what we've been able to put together so far until last week. Ashok

Dupree was a model inmate at Bangalore Prison.

He killed a guard, just walked out after 18 years.

Why would he come to the U .S.? I mean, a trip like that takes planning, right?

He had a lot of time to work on that. Yeah, which doesn't sound like him.

From what I can see here, he's...

He lived his whole life in the Far East and killed on impulse. He sort of lived

for immediate gratification.

So something's changed, right?

His prison guard was number 42.

The murder M .O. that Dupree themes to like is to slip a wire or needle in the

ear, angle it down through the brain into what's called the pons veroli,

causes instant paralysis and death soon after.

We got pretty close.

The guard trusted him.

He got into the U .S. using the passport of a guy named Werner Mueller, who was

an importer -exporter from Cologne.

Mueller was found dead in a Calcutta hotel.

Fingerprints and M .O. tied it to Dupree, who used Mueller's credit card

a ticket to New York.

It's not exactly a match. You would think that immigration would have

him. But he has what are called protean features, a face so average that he's

forgettable. Do you want to try more? Yeah.

And now he's loose in the biggest anthill in the country.

Perfect. Yeah, we're going to need to get some help from the New York Police

Department. There's a detective that we worked with there before, Ben Ferrarini.

Ferrarini.

I'll plug him in. But Sam, why don't you let us handle this?

No, I'm all right.

We are going to have to find a way to predict his moves, though.

He kills at random. He preys on lonely people, people who are looking for a

sympathetic ear.

Once he uses up their money, he moves on to the next, so... He picked a good

city to set up shop.

New Yorkers need a lot of sympathy.

Sorry about the short notice, Dan. 3 a .m. is no notice.

You want me to dish you single homicides, no known purpose?

Here's my first for the day. I hope you like it.

I'm going to shave her.

The guy's got a light touch.

I swear she was sleeping.

Yeah, well, she's not.

A wire and ice pick was inserted in her ear.

Hardly a trace.

We lifted three fingerprints that match a shot Dupree's reference set.

Sam? You okay?

Yeah. Uh, did you find her purse? No cash, no cards.

Her roommate found her. They're both flight attendants for Raja Air.

It's hard to tell.

I just met him. Then I left for a flight last night, but it was canceled, so I

came home. So ordinarily you wouldn't have been home for a few days.

And Pamela flew from Paris to New York two days ago.

Calcutta, Paris, New York.

He was on the plane.

They got to talking after the meal service.

She said he was a wonderful listener.

He even helped her understand her moods.

And what kind of a mood was she in recently?

Pretty down.

She even talked about suicide a couple of times.

Sorry. Excuse me.

There's your irony.

Guy gives her suicide counseling, then kills her. Whammo. When your number's

I, uh, I heard about Malone.

Give him the high sign for me, will you?

It's a bad break.

Somebody was using the sweat stone in the kitchen.

I'd say they were sharpening something chrome -plated. You don't, uh, chrome

-plate your knives.

He used a bicycle spoke.

He must have sharpened it in the kitchen.

What a guy.

You want to guess about his next move?

He used up the money and hit again.

That's what he used to do.

So far, the only change I see is that he's doing it here.

Agent Malone was recovering nicely, and he's a lot stronger at this point than

we might expect, but his ventricle might be leaking again, and it's causing a

tamponade of blood around his heart.

I don't understand. What do you mean it might be leaking again?

I need to open him up to be sure.

Now, he's got a very good chance of surviving, but this is a risky

You're his trustee, Dr. Waters, so without a relative present, his living

makes it your decision.

Oh,

well, I don't know.

That's a tough call, but I'm going to need to know in the next couple hours.

What are you going to do?

I don't know.

I guess the question is, what would Bailey want to do?

Fix it.

Then work another ten hours and have a cigar.

I've got to go.

I'll go find England and sign the forms.

Okay. I'm hoping Francis will try and contact me.

I'll be here if you need me. Okay.

It is comfortingly normal to see you sitting there studying your file, but

you sure you don't need some time off?

No, I just need to get through this.

The agent who stamped Dupree's passport as he was entering the country asked him

what the purpose of his visit was, and Dupree said, well, this is the land of

opportunity. A fine patriotic idea, but not one you want to hear from a serial

killer. I just talked to Farah Rainey. Nobody they've interviewed in Pamela

Shaver's neighborhood has seen Dupree.

Good's good.

Okay. Here's a short course on Ashok Dupree.

Born 1954.

Only child of an Afghani woman from the city of Mazar -e -Sharif. A French

planter, Michel Dupree.

Who did he live with? Mother.

Dirt poor, in a sack. He was 15 and left.

Went to mission school, natural for languages.

Sixth at last count. And 43 murders, including the other.

And Pamela Shaver would make that $40 ,000. He used to choose his victims by

length of time they wouldn't be missed.

Yeah, hippies and tourists mostly. Indochina was full of vagabonds with

cards in the 70s.

On average, his victims were dead more than a month before anyone even missed

them. And boom, after an 18 -year layoff, Dupree suddenly has a need to

York.

My family is thrilled.

You should go home and go to bed.

Look, Coop, let's just... We'll catch Dupree, and then I'll deal with

else.

Okay? Sam, I'm here.

You can lean on me.

I'm okay. All right.

I'm okay.

Uh -huh. Okay.

How is the grid search coming?

It's New York. There's seven million people on an island.

I'm going to find Frances and bring her home safe, I promise.

Something I wanted to tell you.

Leaving the VCTF was the stupidest thing I ever did.

And if it's okay with you, I want to come back.

Detective Grant, there's a call from Mr. Malone. You wanted it?

Yeah, I got it.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Hello? Bailey and Malone's room, please.

Francis, it's John.

It's about time you called. I was worried about you.

Yeah, so he's okay, right?

Yeah, it's just fine.

Did he tell you what happened?

Just the general idea, you know, how it was.

How was the accident and all?

It was. I mean, it was all just a really big mistake. I mean,

we were screaming and yelling, and he grabbed the gun, and it just, I don't

know how the hell it went off.

It doesn't matter right now.

The main thing is you should be here.

Yeah, right.

So you're going to arrest me?

Do you want to talk to me?

Sure he does.

He's sleeping.

Look, give me a number where I can call you when he wakes up.

Get real.

Can I tell him anything for you?

I'll tell him you love him and you're thinking of him.

Okay. Yeah.

Whatever.

Need the blood back.

Sam?

I got a trace on Frances. I'm going to go get her.

All right, guys, watch it.

Coming through. Watch it. She just moved.

I thought it was scheduled at 7.

The blood pressure's dropping. I can't wait.

Bailey, we're all here with you, okay?

Open that door.

How is he? Is he all right? How do you feel?

He just needs to sleep, okay?

He's tired.

Okay, look, I'm going to be right out here waiting for you, okay? Hey, Bailey.

He'll be flirting with the nurse before lunch.

I talked to a surgeon downstairs. They had to knit him back up like a doily,

it worked.

Also said that he wouldn't have lasted an hour without the operation.

It was a good call. The cafeteria was closed.

Where is Grayson George?

He took her home to change. Farina just called from New York, and she's going to

meet us at the airport in an hour.

Are you ready for that?

Yes.

You want to talk about it? No.

Okay.

This lady was on the arm of quite a few wealthy men in her time.

Some people it's a hobby, but she made a living at it.

Beatrice Contreras, be, you know, gossip columnist, syndicated, magazines,

newspapers. I read her.

The diva of Dish and the Times.

What do you know?

Well, I know she kicked out her last boyfriend for beating her up. She picks

Dupree. Wham -o, there you go. Hope we catch this guy soon, Ben, just so we

won't have to listen to any more of your cosmic irony noise.

Security guard found her apartment door open about 5 a .m. A doorman couldn't

idea a photo of Dupre, but he said he remembered a guy was wearing a very

expensive Italian suit.

He was dressing for the part.

Remarkable. He's been in town less than a week, and he's been busy.

Where did he find the time to pick this woman and case her and plan this?

American magazines.

He knew about her before he left India.

He's moving up in the world.

Literally and figuratively.

He said it himself. This is the land of opportunity.

Yeah, but for what? He left enough jewelry in the bedroom to buy a small

Plus, you said he liked money. He does.

He also likes what it can buy.

Why do I keep getting the feeling that this was just stepping stone?

I want to show you something out here.

Give us your thing, Les.

They're positive prints on the barrel and the focus knob.

Fontainebleau Jewel.

Is he planning a heist? I better get some plane clothes in there and warn the

employees.

For the first time, he's planning ahead.

I am so glad to see you.

You're so glad to see me. What are you doing behind there?

Keeping my options open.

So you knew I traced the call and you just waited. Is that it?

Look, I'll go back to my dad, okay?

But you've got to hook me up first.

Please, no, no charges against me. No sending me back to Baltimore and no

locking me up at Leavenworth High.

Come on, Francis. You're so far from a deal. Do you have any idea what you put

your dad through?

He's gonna make it, right?

With a lot of luck.

Last thing you need to worry about is you.

He needs you there.

I didn't make this happen. He did.

Okay.

Okay.

Why don't you come out from behind there and we'll talk about it.

Look. I know that he wants me to be home. I will be so good.

I will. No partying, no skipping school, no drinking.

Please, I just need this one more chance, you know?

I gotta go.

Come on, Frances.

I'll do the best I can on the deal, but I can't do anything while you're still

running. I gotta go!

It's a psychological profile from Jack, of which I am the subject.

He wants you to know what it's like in a microscope.

Walk a mile in my shoes.

He said I'd walk a mile in his shoes.

You look great.

It's from Chloe, who specifically told me to tell you that yellow is the

happiest color.

Thank you.

So how are you doing today?

Did they get you up and walk you around?

About an hour ago. I didn't walk.

Jogged.

I don't remember, Sam.

It's gone.

Well, that's pretty common.

It's that front here.

I don't like a bunch of nuns that took a vow of silence.

What happened?

I was shot.

Well, there was nobody there but you and Francis Bailey.

They found the gun safe in her room.

And they still haven't found it.

She called me and told me it was my fault for not helping her.

I drove over.

She was gone.

I was pushing her into a corner.

What this one didn't tell you is that he set a new land speed record down

Peachtree. Carried it in here over his shoulder. They said that you probably

about a minute left.

I never should have let you walk out of the BCTM.

Vandana Mudri, immigrant from Bombay. Lives in the back.

Definitely downscale.

Her son was asleep when it happened.

When he found her lying there, he lost completely. Had to be taken on

So much for the Park Avenue theory.

He's gone random again?

If he's working some angle at the front of Blue Jewelers, we can't find it.

Doesn't need money.

She had $131 in the cash box over there.

Maybe he just had a sudden craving for some curry.

The ammo's a little different.

This time the spoke went in between our ribs, but I'm sure it's the same guy.

I'll start looking for fingerprints.

Money, a penthouse, and a grocery.

Not exactly linear, but I don't think it's random either.

Know what I think?

I think after 18 years in the black hole of Calcutta, he's still the same nut

bar he was when he went in.

We have been assuming that Dupree's American Dream has to do with money, but

doesn't. It has to do with fame.

Hasn't he always been working in the shadows before?

Yeah, but all that time in prison he had time to read our magazines.

He saw how we made famous people into these idols.

Maybe he decided he wanted one of his pictures on one of the magazines.

That would explain why he keeps leaving his fingerprints.

If you're looking for fame, America is the place, right? Fifteen minutes for

everybody before they die?

Doesn't want to die a nobody.

I need to go back to those other crimes, because I think that we missed him.

Ben, we're gone. We got a phone.

After nearly 20 years.

Dupree gets out of an Indian jail and makes a beeline for New York City.

Make it here, you can make it anywhere.

He used Pamela Shaver's money to buy an Italian suit so that he could make a

play for B. Contreras.

Gossip Maven knows everybody who's anybody.

And if you're a killer and your goal is to be on top, then you can't kill just

anybody.

You have to kill someone famous.

Well, we ran her friends and contacts, at least everybody in her address book.

They've been warned.

But, I mean, how far do you cast your net? The woman had a nodding

with half the celebrities in the country. You can't warn everybody.

What if he wasn't actually looking at the jewelry store? What if he just left

pointed down there?

I'm going to have to tell him to cover the lock.

Hello? Found a uniform in the laundry.

Vinata Mudri's son, Salil, works as a security guard at night.

His clean uniform is gone.

Where does he work?

All over Manhattan.

An outfit called Premium, you know, the better real estate.

Does he wear a black uniform with red trim?

You got it.

Dupree also got his mag cards and keys.

What's going on?

Vandana Mudri's son works at the same security office as those guys down

Did he ever work at the Fontainebleau?

Close. He sometimes draws a shift at Lenexa Center, which is actually the

of the whole block.

Yeah, I'm looking at it right now.

You better let them know.

Dupree spotted still little Mudri.

while he was working, and followed him home so that he could get his uniform.

To get into the building?

Yeah. Who's in the building?

General Elgin McKeever.

He moved into the Lenexa Center last year.

Contreras wrote this story, and Dupree must have read about it while he was in

prison. A Gulf War hero, sentenced to be in the presidential race in the year

2000, a man we can't afford to lose.

He's the American dream.

A man everyone admires.

Kill him, they'll remember you forever.

Flag, security, Lennox, ascent.

The freeze line is way over there to kill General Elgin McKeever. Okay, I'll

you back up.

His name is Simil Mudri. He had his keys, his magnetic access card, and his

uniform stolen today. The man who did it has killed four people this week. He's

after General McKeever right now.

His keys can get him all the way from the lobby to the general keeper's suite.

He just entered sub -level four using Mugri's mag card.

What's on sub -four? The whole power plant. You service one. Thanks.

You have a wonderful country.

That's methane and ethane that you smell, although I believe you call it

gas.

The main line to the boiler.

One spark and the whole building goes up.

You even give it an odor in America to warn people of the danger. They don't do

that everywhere.

You have no idea how cheap life is.

Stay right there.

Oh, my lord, don't shoot. A blast from your gun will create an inferno of

concrete and steel. Dozens will die.

Not that it bothers me, but I imagine it bothers you.

I can light this man with my thumbnail.

You know, you may make a few magazine covers, but you wouldn't be around to

enjoy them now, would you?

And I would very much like to be.

However, the decision is in your hands.

We can both walk out of here.

But even if I have to die, I'll still leave a legacy behind.

And the admiration of Americans can be nearly immortal.

Witness, John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald.

I have the gun, please.

You won't kill scores of innocents.

Not even to save yourself.

The first thing he says is, who told you to take a break? Get back to work.

Oh.

Thank you.

For the flowers and the balloons and all your support while I was at the

hospital.

Most of all, I want to thank you for your commitment and the great job you

do.

Hey, don't you have work to do?

It's good to see all of you.

Put my application in on Tuesday.

Down probation.

So far, so good. We'll see.

What did you want to talk about?

You and me.

The way things have been going.

Okay.

It's just the way we are, really. You know, I'm like a bomb guy. I like the

that you know where you stand with a bomb. There's no ambivalence. The bomb

blow up unless you do the right thing, you know?

And what does that got to do with me?

You seem to be able to run a lot further with the uncertainty principle than I

can.

Your hunches and your head games, it's like that's why you're so great at this

job. Head games? I never played head games with you, Coop. I'm not saying you

have. That's not what I mean.

But lately I get the feeling like you're not sure you want me around.

I offered to help you push me away.

I guess I just need to know where this is going because this sense that it's

going nowhere just isn't working for me.

I just can't be certain about anything right now in my life.

I... I know.

I'm sorry.

No.

When you can, I won't be

far away. You know, the ATF still has a place for me, so...

Start.

I don't care.

Stop.

Ring

Dr.

Waters. Thank you.

I talked to Kozlowski today. He's dropping his case.

He is.

So that means that it's back to you.

I'm dropping it, too.

Sit down.

This came over the transom.

It's a full confession.

Enough evidence here to clear you ten times over.

Courtesy of your friend Jack.

He did it.

He killed Ella Turner.

That's it.

He sent pictures along and everything.

He erased his face, but there's no doubt he did it.

When we meet the next time.

We'll both be on the same team.

Until then.

It's all here.

Why would he suddenly confess?

Because he wants to control how it ends.

Why?

Because that's... That's the game, Captain Handelman.

That's the game.
