I'll be honest with you.

I have a mental disease.

I'm two people.

One is moral, one is the beast.

You don't take notes.

Most of the other shrinks took notes.

How,do i know i can trust you?

I'm a psychologist, not a fool.

I've analyzed myself.

I've determined that i'm aschizoid-Paranoid personality.

I want to be helped.

But you're not here to help me, are you?

No, i'm hereto do a psychological evaluation

For the courts.

To attempt to determine

Whether you're sane or legally insane.

Judge and jury.

You hold my life in your hands, doc.

An insane society

Is going to determine whether i'm sane or not

And they picked you for their man.

A black shrink

In the good ole state of georgia.

I'm going to get the chair.

Why? Do you want to die?

-No.

On the other hand,

I don't expect to obtain justice

From a court of human beings.

Are you superior to other human beings?

I think i'm a different species.

I don't think scientists havegenetically classified me.

That's for me to decide. Isn't it?

Don't expect me to play crazy for you.

-Tell me about this beast inside you,

The beast is the kidnapper.

When he takes over. He makes the decisions.

He determines right from wrong.

Why did you choose julie burdock?

-The kidnapper chose her.

The kidnapper did extensive research.

-God, she's grown up.

The burdock's were more reliable than the sunrise.

They went to church.

- They gave to charity. -Stay here.

Brad and joyce had been married more than 25 years.

Without a scandal.

They were perfect.

They had money,respect, power.

They had everything.

And they didn't get it.

-C'mon, dance with me.

-Well, i promised you.

-Night after night,the kidnapper studied them.

I thought they weren't vulnerable,

But everybody is vulnerable.

-How did it make you feel

To be so close without their knowing?

Hot.

- You mean powerful?

- I mean hot.

- You're crazy.

Take off your clothes.

- Now, this girl maria...

an artist always has to havesomebody to

Admire their work.

- I was a research assistantfor the university marine lab.

I did core samples from the gulf for rich kids.

Which was certainly beneath my mental capabilities.

It's waterproof.

It's rodent proof.

Foolproof.

- Do you think you were better than him?

I have a genius level i.Q., Doctor.

142.

Or 148 depending on which time i was tested.

Can brad burdock define absolute zero?

He probably thinks it's minus273.15 degree centigrade.

It's not.

- I'm as good as he is. As any of them.

- Hi. - Hello.

- What are you doing?

- I was just uh, just looking.

Thinking how lucky i am.

- Well, you are lucky.

Yeah?

You have me.

The perfect daughter.

A little expensive.

But perfect.

Happy birthday, daddy.

- But only he had the money, the family,

And the love.

- That's good, doctor.

I think my junior high school counselor used that one.

- This is the annual report,

The quarterly report which just came in and the k-1o.

As you know the public offering is going very well.

Traded yesterday at 51.

- Isn't that brad burdock?

- Yes, it is. - I'd like to meet him.

- This isn't a very good time.

- Brad, i'm ted redmont. - Mr. Redmont.

- Don't keep him too long, mr. Redmont.

That meeting starts in five minutes.

-A lot of people counting on you.

Must be like a family.

- Is there something i cananswer for you, mr. Redmont?

- Well, you're the responsible guy in the company,

And i'm hoping to make somemoney off you, you might say.

I was wondering what your secret was.

- There's no secret, just a lot of hard work.

- Must be a lot of luck involved too, wouldn't you say?

- Well, i think there's a little luck involved

In anything,

- Sort of the differencebetween success and failure.

You take two guys,

Same talent, same brains, one succeeds,

The other...

- well, if there's anything else you need,

You just let us know.

- You know what, brad?

You and i, we're both alike.

- We're both salesman, we bothhave something

Somebody needs,

And will pay a lot for it.

- Well, i got to the go.

Thank you for your interest.

- Thank you, brad. I

I sure am interested.

Half a million is nothing to this guy.

Assets in excess of 127 million.

91,000 acresof prime realty development,

Holdings in orlando, tampa,cocoa beach, marco island.

And you know what's funny? He doesn't get it.

He doesn't get what a nice, rich plum he is.

Happy birthday, brad.

All right, i get it. I know it's buried.

Maria?

- I'm hiding.

- I don't want to play games.

Maria: c'mon, find me.

- Where the hell are you?

C'mon in,it's great.

- Don't you ever touch that!

- No! - Get out!

Damn it. You get in it, i fix itup and somebody could die!

Five years!Don't you understand that!

- Don't hurt me. Don't hurt me. Don't hurt me.

Dantley: tell me what it's like to lose control.

I watched this other person down a long tunnel.

I yell to him to stop.

But he doesn't listen.

I know i'm a verydangerous person at these times.

I see anyone close to me as a threat.

Julie left to go back to school.

They took her to the airport.

[Music plays]

- It's about time.

- Her mother's here.

-What?

- Julie is sick or something.She has the flu or something.

And her mother has come up to take care of her.

And they've moved out of the dorm,

And they've checked into a motel.

- Oh, no, mom, don't get up.

- Oh, no, no, no. I wasn't asleep.

We don't get a chancefor girl talk very often.

You want to talk at 3am.

How are you feeling?

I'm a little cold actually.

- Wait,stay down, honey. What do you need?

- David's socks.

- In the suitcase? - In the suitcase.

- Thanks, mom. - Yeah.

You know i can always sleepwith big brother's socks.

- [Chuckles] such a baby.

- That's better. Thanks.

[Knock on door]

Stracton: open up! Police!

Mrs. Burdock,there's been an accident.

- Daddy? - No. It couldn't be.

[Screams]

- You, down. Don't. You won't get hurt.

-What do you think you're doing?

- Mrs. Burdock, your daughter's life is in danger.

- Keep your head down and cooperate.

- Mom, just do what they say. Don't fight them.

Just take the money, please.

What makes you think we're after money?

Oh, god.

Mom?

Don't fight it.

Don't please, don't hurt her!

- It's a harmless anesthetic.

Let's go.

Dantley: how do you explain all the planning, wayne?

All the stalking and thecalculating, all the craft?

Is this the pattern of a man who is beyond control,

Or his is he making choices?

I mean, weren't you choosing wrong over right?

Do you choose cancer, doc?

There is a dragon

Inside me, and it devours my will power.

The law says we all have free will.

The law says that we know right from wrong.

And we all have the capacity to say no.

You and are i are creatures of the some night, doc.

It's a the matter of degree,my compulsions are just...

just darker than yours

[Dial tone]

Operator: yes? - Help!

- Help me! Please help me!- What's the matter, ma'am?

I'm going to check everything is okay.

You better be good.

I'm coming right back. Don't forget

I've got the gun.

- Wait!

- Where are you going, princess?

Give me the chloroform.

Just shine this in her eyes,and let me see if it's working.

- It's not working.

Please, you don't have to hurt me.

That's right.

You'll do anything i want.

Yes, sir.

Follow your own rules, wayne. Concentrate on business.

Turn around.

Give me your watch.

Time doesn't matter where you're going.

We're asking for a lot of money.

But i'm sure...

daddy can get it.

I'm going to say this once.

You better get it.Your life depends on it.

Wait a minute.

- We're going to put you in an underground room.

There will be an air pump to circulate the air.

You'll have a light inside also.They're connected

To a battery.

The battery has about seven days juice.

If you use the light too much,you'll wear the

Battery down.

If you use the pump too much,you'll wear the

Battery down

Even faster.

Do you understand me?

- No, you're going much too fast.

You're playing games with me.

I'm not playing games. Look, call my father.

He'll give you the money or whatever you want.

- I feel crazy when people don't cooperate,

You're not crazy, you're just mean.

One more time.

I am putting you inside

A watertight, fiberglassreinforced

Plywood capsule.

Do not attempt to get out.

If you break the seal,

Water can get in,

And you will drown or worse.

Insects can get inside

And you will be eaten,

You are crazy.

Do not use the light too much.

Do not use the pump too much.

If the batteries die, you will die.

Do you understand that?

Julie yes.

What?

That i'd die.

You understand. That's good.

-Mr. Burdock? -Brad: uh, yes?

- I hate to bother you.

- The lady here saysthere's been a kidnapping.

Uh, uh, put her on.

Brad?

What happened?

They took julie.

What do you mean?

- They broke into the room, and they took julie.

He thinks i'm drunk.

I tried to get help, but he thinks i'm drunk.

I'll be up there in 2 hours.

Now listen, i want you to call the police immediately.

The fan's been acting up.

- The fan on the air pump?

- Yeah. Just shut up about it. I'll fix it, all right?

I can't go any further. My feet are too numb.

[Julie screaming]

Oh, god.

Oh, my god, no.

Please don't do this. Don't bury me!

My father will give you money.

Just don't put me--

I want you to keep your eyes open.

And i want you to smile.

This for daddy.

You're a pretty girl when you smile.

One last time.

This is a matter of life and death.

Yours.

If you run the fan too much,if you run the light too much,

You'll run the battery down.

- You understand that? - Yes.

- And you'll be without air.

- Without air? - Without air.

- You know what that means? - I guess.

- Everything has been provided

To make you as comfortable as possible.

I.E. Water, food,waste disposal, et cetera.

Okay?

Oh, my god, no.

Oh god, please don't do this!

My dad will give you the money!

Look, just call him!

You can't do this!

- [Julie screams] - Shh shh shh.

Don't be such a baby.

[Julie screams]

-No! [Screaming]

No, oh god! No. [Screaming]

Wait, please just let me out for one second.

I have something very important to tell you.

- Oh, no, you don't.

[Screw driver whirs]

Julie, don't worry. We'll be back to check on you

Every two hours.

Wayne: all you want is human contact.

Yes, i do.

Human contact.

[Screw driver whirs]

[Sounds of shoveling and dirt dropping on box]

Dantley: did you start to worry about julie

Up there in the woods in georgia in your box?

Nothing to worry about.

I have faith in my work.

What about her suffering?

She didn't suffer.

She was provided for.

Didn't you think it was wrong what you did her?

Of course it was wrong.

No. You say you know it was wrong,

But do you really believe that it was wrong?

It's the same thing.

No, wayne.

Even animals can learn the rules.

They can be conditioned to behave.

But that does not meanthat they know right from wrong.

They do not have that voice deep inside.

That voice saying no.

All right.

All right, let me ask you this.

Did you feel guilty about julie?

Guilt is a religious word.

Try another one.

Try empathy.

Did you feel empathy at allfor julie in that coffin?

Empathy is a fiction.

Try another one.

- No, empathy, wayne.

We bleedwhen the other guy bleeds.

We cry when the other guy cries.

We can take julie's place in that box.

We can lie there in the dark and know her terror.

What about you? Can you do that?

Thanks a lot.

Excuse me, sir, i don't know if i can--

That's my daughter.

- Joyce?- Oh, brad. Oh, god, brad!

It's all right.It's going to be all right.

Ok...

- i opened the door. Why did i open the door?

- No, no, no, no.

[Telephone rings]

Hello?

- Wayne: brad?

- He's not here right now. Can i take a message?

- Listen, i've got a message for brad.

Tell him to get back from atlanta

As soon as possible,there's lot he's got to do.

You know, i mean to get julie back.

Dankworth: you're the kidnapper.

- Glad to see you didn't wastethat college education,

Bobby,

I had hoped brad would be the first one

To see the instructions,

But i guess a heisman trophy winner

Can find his way out

To the northeast corner of the garden.

Look under a palm tree.

- What do you want?

Read the note.

You read it.

Your daughter has been kidnapped by us,

And we now hold her for ransom.

Julie is presently alive and well

Inside a small capsule buried in a remote piece of soil.

She has enough food water and air to last seven days.

Businesslike, rational.

You think the kidnapper can't be rational?

You can be rational and crazy at the same time,

Can't you?

- Maybe.

The box is inan unusual and lonely place.

She has no chance of beingaccidently stumbled upon.

Contemplate if you will,the position this puts you in.

If you paythe five hundred thousand

Prior to the seven days,

We will tell you her whereabouts.

Should you catch all of us,

We will never admit anything, and she will die.

You do not want to catch us.

For to do so would be condemning your lovely

And intelligent daughter to death,

Brad: i called dr. Gresher to give you a checkup.

I'll be right up.

Glen fairling, mr. Burdock.

I'm in charge of the investigation.

Mr. Fairling, may i see the note?

It really isn't necessary that you read that note.

I mean, this is a stressful time for the victims,

And, well, sometimes the damndest things

Can affect a person's normally good judgment.

Mr. Fairling, i'm not accustomed to being

Pampered or lied to.

Now show me the note.

"These bills should occupy no more than

Four thousand cubic inches and thusly fit

In a standard large suitcase of inside dimensions of

31.5 inches long, 18.75 high, 6...

this is a very precise mind. This is not some maniac

Who wants to chop somebody up.

And here, presently alive andwell inside a small capsule

Buried in a remote piece of soil."

We've got to the school on this guy

And maybe figure out what makes him tick.

It sounds to me like someone trying

To sound smarter than they are.

Anyway, in my experience, it doesn't matter

If you figure these people out or or not.

You just have to hope they make a mistake.

Maybe we have to make sure he does not make a mistake.

I do not want a mistake that he makes

To result in something happening to julie.

"Contemplate if you will."

God, what a phrase?

"As you can see,you do not want to catch us."

It's the way he wants it,and it's got them sweating.

He wants all twenties.

And half of it has to be pre-Circulated.

So we get the one halffrom the federal reserve.

But the other half, we're going to have to go

To the shop keepers for.

Can they do it?

It's going to take some time.

[Julie whimpering]

Blanket, julie. Use the blanket.

Okay. Okay. I've just got to figure this out.

Okay.

Are they looking for me?

God, do they know?

What if he doesn't tell them?

Don't do this. Don't torture me.

No one will know.

No one will know.

Julie, stop it.

Take a breath.

You're going to be all right.

Just say it.

I'm going to be all right.

Reporter [over television]: f.B.I. And police

From two states are involved

In the search for what this reporter has learned

Is a white male and a young boy.

We're famous.

- Yeah. Just like bonnie and clyde.

And one more step from being rich.

Come here.

We've got the f.B.I.And the police from two states

Searching for a white male

And a young boy.

Dad?

Hi, son.

I'm glad you're here.

Mrs. Burdock, can i help you, ma'am?

- Uh, do you need anything? - No ma'am.

- You're finding everything? - Yes.

I can make some coffee.

Uh, no, thanks, ma'am. We're all set.

We brought our own.

Yeah, i guess you f.B.I.,I. Menhave to think of everything.

Yes, ma'am.

You know, i just want you to know

That we're very grateful,

Yes, ma'am.

Joyce? Honey, what are you doing out of bed?

I'm not sick, brad, i'mfrightened, but i'm not sick.

I lie up there, and all i do is think about her.

I need something to do.

Honey, there's nothing to do.

Frank and bobby are withsam brewster down at the bank

Getting the money together.

The uh, kidnapper made a lot of very specific requests.

- There's a note?

- Yes, there's a note.

- May i see it?

- Well, i don't know honey.

- We're running some testson the note, mrs. Burdock.

Analysis, that sort of thing.

- Look, why don't you go up, andi'll come up in a minute,

Okay?

Mm-Hmm.

Thank you.

I don't think it would be a good idea for her to know...

where julie is.

Where are we?

Well, by morning,we'll have the money together.

We're having a little trouble

Locating the all white outfit he requested.

Wrong season for white.

And there's problemswith the size of the suitcase.

But we'll get it.

It's foolproof.

And brad isn't a fool. He can't miss it.

[Maria speaking in spanish]

If my mother could see me now.

[Maria speaking spanish]

She used to lock me in the house for days, you know.

House full of bibles.

Twenty-Six of them.

I should have been an astronaut.

She said i'd be raped.

Kidnapped and raped.

She always called me herfrightened little rabbit.

You know my mama has my funeral dress?

Back in honduras,she has my funeral dress.

My old man was a cripple.

He'd take my motherfor weeks at a stretch...

they'd be fishing.

A hundred miles out in the ocean.

Leave me alone in this stinking hole.

That's when i found out that money and power...

were the only things that count.

Money, power.

Money and power.

Money...power...

so i went down the road to mr. Beeman's store...

to get something to eat, and

And he said no.

He wouldn't give me anything.

He said my old man owed him three hundred dollars.

So later i went back to his store

With some gasoline.

Splashed it around the outside.

Burned it to the ground.

I love you, wayne.

I love you.

Brad?

What the hell are you doing out here?

This is where he was.

Stalking us.

Look how naked we were.

Are.

Vulnerable.

We're never really safe, are we?

I don't know. You work...

try to make a life.

Try to make it all right for your family.

Safe.

I could give julie financial security,

But i couldn't keep that sadistic bastard

From sneaking up in the night.

We're going to get her back.

We may have to bust a few humps.

But we're going to get her back.

You know, they have forty volunteers.

Executive types, all helping out to get the money ready.

Where do we stand on the note?

Well, we found a white suit,

And they picked up the suitcase.

So let's run the ad like the note said.

Loved one, please come home.

We will pay all expenses and meet you anywhere

At any time. Your family.

The register will run the ad in the next edition

As soon as we give the word.

The money will be ready by10 o'clock tomorrow morning.

Damn it. I am not waitingfor the money to run the ad.

Otherwise it could be another twenty-Four hours

Before he calls.

56 hours, i figure it's 56 hours

If the ad runs tomorrow morning.

If everything goes off without a hitch.

Could she go through that and keep her sanity?

I don't think i could.

Julie vo: i know i shouldn't be talking, daddy.

But i have to hear my own voice.

Oh, c'mon, keep working.

Oh god,i hope he's smart.I hope this stuff keeps working.

What if they catch him, and he doesn't tell?

Maria will tell.

Oh, what if they're hurt, or they're killed?

No one will know.

Oh god, daddy.

Please don't let them scare him. Oh!

You have on unbroken criminal history of theft.

You're addicted to stealing.What do you think it means?

What do i think it means?

Yeah.

It means property, dr. Dantley. Property.

You take it,and you turn it into money.

And if you get enough of it, you turn it into power.

Real power.

It's the american way.

Those with the money have the power, the control.

Ask brad burdock. He'll tell you.

You stay here.

Make sure the police and the f.B.I.

Aren't following burdock.

Do you really need me, wayne?

I know you don't.

Just pay attention.

I want to go after him.

- That's usuallywhat we like to try to do.

- That might be your experience, but it's my daughter.

- I understand. No offense,

But this is not a game for amateurs.

- Well, if i'm an amateur,i'd better be a fast study.

- I know you're trying to figure this guy out

Through his note.

I want to point out something.

Something that you need to be made aware of.

It's you he's after. May i?

"Any deviation from this outline

Will result in your death,"

- That's a generalized threat.

- You have something he wants.

Your standard criminal doesn't normally feel

That he's guilty of anything.

Oh, he knows he's breaking the law,

But he firmly believes that he deserves what he takes.

You're successful.He's going to make you squirm.

He may have taken your daughter, but you're his target.

- Is julie dead?

- My god, honey, no.

Why would you ask me something like that?

Nobody will show me the note.

I just lie up here and think the worst.

The note...it's just that it's full of threats,

And vicious --And...

dr. Gresher thought it would be better.

I just keep thinking that i don't even know

How to live without my children, and if julie--

Sweetheart,it's going to be all right.

It's going to be all right.

As a matter of fact,

Fairling thinks that i may be the target.

- What do you mean?

Brad -Well, i think he uh...

-i think he's trying to get meto let him go after this guy.

- But he is the professional.

- Yes, but the note is very clear.

If they're caught, they won'ttalk, and julie will die.

- But none of us know anythingabout this

Sort of thing.

Fairling is the one with the experience,

- Yes, but she's my daughter.

Well, she's my daughter too, brad.

-I'm know, honey, i'm sorry, i'm sorry.

- What do you think? That i just lie up here in the dark,

And my mind, it just goes crazy.

I just thinkthe most horrible thoughts.

- I know.

She's so young.

She's only just begun her life.

[Telephone rings]

Hello?

-Brad? -Yes.

You will proceed down bird road to 27th avenue.

Take a right.

- Wait a second.How do i know who this is?

You then go to fair isle street. Do you know where it is?

- No. I don't.

- On the right, off bay road.

- Wait a second, how do i know julie is all right?

- You then go across fair isle street bridge

Toward the bay.

- Hold it just,

You going too fast.

At the end of the bridge therewill be a

Blinking white light.

Near it will be a box.

Put the money in the box. Turn around and leave.

- Wait a minute. Which way on...

on 27th avenue?

- Right.

- Which bridge? The bay road bridge?

The f.B.I. Is trying to trace the call, aren't they?

- No, no, please. I um...

- you don't want to catch me, remember?

- I've got my ace in the hole.

And the timer on the lightis only set to last 30 minutes.

We got it. We got the instructions down.

I want agent tanner to take your place.

No, no, no. I'm going.

You can't just handthis kind of guy his money

And expect him to keep his end of the deal.

He'll take the money and run.

Julie dies, brad.

No. I think i know this man's mind.

He uh, he needs to control me,and i'm going to let him.

I uh, i think if i play by his rules,

He'll give my daughter back to me.

- This is my business, brad.

- This mad manis doing business. With me.

All agents, situate your unitsto monitor mr. Burdock all

All the way to the drop.

Remember, mr. Burdock is wearing a wire.

He's equipped to transmit only. He cannot hear us.

Maintain radio silence. Fairling out.

Turning right on 27th.

I just passed russell's mini mall.

I think i may have missed the fair isle turnoff.

- He's been gone 11 minutes.

Does any of this sound right?

Crystal view court, vista court?

They intersect bird road

But there's no through way to bay road.

He's gone too far. He's a mile too far south.

There's three damn bridges on bay road.

Two of them to fair isle.

And none of them have lights.

We should have the ability to talk to him.

Did he say he turned right?

- Yes.

- He's going in the wrong direction.

I've doubled back.This has got to be the place.

Where the hell is he? Time is running out.

It should be here.But there's no flashing light.

I can't see a street sign but i know this is it.

Damn it! He is there. That is the spot.

Maria?

Maria, anything?

No. There's nothing.

How long do i wait?

Let me make another call.

You're a bastard, wayne.

What?

You treat me like dirt.

I don't want to stay here anymore.

Just think of the money, all right?

I can't find it.

I don't knowwhat the hell time it is.

I need some help out here.

This is stupid. We can hear him,

But he might as well be on the moon.

We got to get him some help. Send one of your men.

- How much time has elapsed?

- 33 minutes.

- I don't think the kidnapper's are going to wait.

Let's go!

I'm getting desperate, i can't find this place.

I don't know what the hell i'm looking for.

I need some help.

All units. Agent rankin and mr. Dankworth

Are en routeto intercept mr. Burdock.

Do not interfere.I repeat, do not interfere.

I'm lost, damn it, i can't find this place.

Get some help out here!

[Telephone rings]

Hello.

What happened? No one's made the drop.

Oh, my god. Uh, no.

He went to the fair isle bridge?

- Yes.

- He didn't see the blinking light?

- Said there was no light. - What?

- He looked-- - There's a light.

There's a blinking light.

He looked everywhere.

Just tell him to drop it over the side. The money.

He's trying.

- He just better deliver it. - Wait.

Bobby, i can't find it. I bungled it.

No, you didn't, now let's go. Follow my directions.

This is it. North side of fair isle bridge.

I was here.I looked under the bridge,

I didn't see the light,

He said the bushes at the base of the bridge.

This has got to be it.

There are bushes at the base of all these damn bridges.

Just drop the money.Just get rid of it. All right?

It's not your fault. Brad.

I think we're in businesswith an incompetent kidnapper.

I lost it. Bobby.

I was terrified.

I've never been like that in my life.

You hang in there, buddy. You hang in there.

Maria?

Maria?

I'm sure he dropped the money. I'm going to go get it.

You keep your eyes open, all right?

If something goes wrong, you know what to do.

Damn.

Yes!!

I think we ought to go after him, brad.

If we capture him...

he'll sit and grin at you while julie suffocates.

Give me a break.

This guy is a petty thief.

He screwed up the directions for the drop.

His flashing light didn't work.

He'll panic.He'll take the money and run.

I have a feeling about this guy.

He's made up lots of rules,and i think he'll play by them.

I don't want to give himanything to change his mind.

Brad, i'm going to give you this one, no frills.

In over 70 percent of all kidnappings,

The victim is dead before the perpetrators

Ever make a play for the ransom.

If you are wrong, and

And julie is still alive, she dies.

It's as simple as that.

If you capture him, and he doesn't talk...

she dies anyway.

So tell me.

Do you want to be responsiblefor her death? Or shall i?

- Enid? - Go ahead, charlie.

Run these tags. See if we got any warrants on it.

- All right.

Maria?

Maria?

- That your call-In? - Yeah.

Nothing. I figured

Some baby drug runner gotlocked in when the lot closed.

He's in for a big surprise when he gets back.

- Yeah. - Probably some uh...

teenage kids makingillegal contact on the beach.

You want to go and investigate?

You have a filthy mind, roberto.

Maria?

Maria?

Goodbye, wayne.

Maria?

Where the hell are you?

Hey, wait a minute.

Let's take a look.

[Sirens]

I'm down!

He's heading down 28th.

Hey!

Hey, you.

Hold it!

Hold it!

[Gunshots]

Brad trusted you,you said you would not try a capture.

And we didn't. Now back off.

You should have toldthe miami police to back off.

I had my reasons for notinvolving the local police.

Your reasons?

We had a one-Way radio to do a two-Way job!

We almost missed the drop off point.

Then you let the miami police mess up the plan.

This has not been an f.B.I. Controlled operation

From the beginning.

We got an incompetent kidnapper.

And we got incompetent cops.

You got all these menyou got all this equipment,

What more would could you possibly want?

I would like to be in charge of this fiasco.

Sometimes just don't work outthe way they're supposed to.

We got the vehicle.

The the lab menare going over it right now.

Here's some photographs in here. Take a look at these.

- Let's see.

We got a positive i.D. On your kidnapper.

Wayne stracton.

California escapee. Aka ted redmont.

Long record of theft.

In out of reform schools most of his life.

And the news is out.

This will be in all the papers.

So they'll know we know who they are?

You can bet on it.

Damn. They'll run for sure.

I think i know this guy.

I've seen him somewhere.

This bastard walked right into our offices

And introduced himself.

Look at him.

Showing off.

He's not some common criminal.

He's playing a game here,and he's having a good time.

The name of that game is pain.

- I don't care, as long as we get a chance

To make contact with him again.

He can do whatever he wants

Just as long as he gives julie another chance.

Julie: i never realized how dark it could be.

Is that what dead is?

Oh, god. Oh, god, no. Don't stop. Don't stop.

Oh, god, start!!

[Crying]

Dantley: why does this beastinside you cause

So much pain?

Why is he so angry?

What is he really after, hmm?

I told you, money, power, control.

All the virtues.

I'm not so sure.

Out of all the crimes in the universe,

You chose this one.

What was the dragon really after?

A maiden.

I like fairy tales.

Me too. But julie is not just a maiden.

Let's cut to the chase.

Steal the maiden, steal what, the love?

Yes. You took love hostage.

Then you had control over brad,

And you could even punish him for having that love.

You made him pay the money.

But you were really making him pay a much higher price.

Brad burdock had all the symbols

The love your dragon hungers for.

Property, love, julie.

Family. All interchangeable.

All the same thing.

This is your fairy tale.

Brad: i had nothing to do

With the action of the miami police department.

They tried to try to arrest you.

I regret that you did not get the money

Because my only interest is inthe safety of my daughter.

I pray that you have not hurt my daughter.

Please make contact.

I will do anything you ask

So that my daughter will be freed.

Reporter: this has been a wmia news special.

The kidnappers demands were received--

He'll call again at 11:00.

And tell you where to drop the money.

- He said to tell youthat julie is okay for now,

But the battery...

he said it won't last more than 24 hours.

The money has been recounted and repacked.

It's ready to go.

Dankworth: maybe thesedirections will be better.

We're looking for a railroad crossing.

Then we take our first right. After it.

Go two tenths of a mile,

And we'll come to our second railroad crossing.

Dankworth: okay, this is it.

Is that it?

- I don't know.

This looks shaky. I better go.

I've complied with all your requests.

I believe i have dealt with you in good faith.

And honor.

Now i expect you to do the same.

Please, give my daughter back to me.

Do you hear me?

I want my daughter back!

So you had your handson the money for a second time.

What happened next?

Forget the money.

Why is the kidnapper so hungry for love?

Because love is a pain killer.

Where does the pain come from?

For most of us at birth.

In the womb you're attached to your mother.

You're floating inside, you're warm and secure

And then at birth you're plunged into a noisy,

Frightening world.

Alone, you're helpless, powerless, and alone,

But mommy comes to make it better.

Yes, she's there time and time again.

She's there for you to stop the pain.

And if mommy isn't very good at her job?

You have an unattached child who spends his life

Dragging a psychological umbilical cord

Around behind him. And it hurts.

Boy, it hurts bad.

What if i fall asleep, and i run out of air...

and i die?

No. I won't know.

I won't even know i'm dying.

This need to steal love isbeyond my control, right?

Yes.

And i have what the law calls amental disease or defect.

In my conscience,beyond my control, right?

Well, yes, you have no conscience so...

c'mon, doc. It a time for a little honesty.

The law has a name for my condition.

I have a mental disease or defect.

That prevents me from knowing right from wrong.

You have a point.

No! Not just a point, doc. A defense.

Your theory proves my defense.

My unconscious need for love drives me insane.

You just proved i'm legally insane, doc.

I knew i could trust you.

You are a good judge of character.

Can i make it to biminiwithout running out of gas?

Man: oh, no way,not from west palm beach.

Go down to fort lauderdale,

Fill her up there and then head out.

I'll be right back. I've gotsome last minute things to do.

He didn't call?

No, he didn't call.

- She's dead. Julie is dead. - No.

I will not accept defeat from this man.

Not for me...

not for julie.

This should do it.

The extrais for rigging it up so fast.

-It's been a real pleasure doing business with you.

[Starts motor then turns it off]

Do you have a phone i can use?

Man: sure, up in the office.

Receptionist [on phone]: f.B.I. Atlanta office.

Yeah, i want to give you some information

On the burdock girl.

Just a minute,i'll give you to an agent.

- There's no time for that, sweetheart.

Here are the directions,and how to find the capsule.

I'll give this to you only once.

- I'm sorry, sir, will you let me transfer you.

- No, get this right.

If you don't, the girl will dieand it will be your fault.

Joyce? Joyce? He called. Damn it!

He called! Get bobby and frank!

He called the f.B.I. In atlanta.

He's given them directions.

They're a little fuzzy,but they're on their way to her.

Do they know where she is?Can they find her in time?

Girl [over phone]: marina.

- Ida, give me the f.B.I.

Give me a crowd over here.

Our boy stracton has been buying sharks.

In palm beach today.

He bought one north to savannah.

South down to bimini.

Across the state from fort myers on up to pensacola.

He said i won't suffocate.

I think this will be my casket.

I love you, mommy.

I love you, daddy.

He said to proceed 3.3 miles

From the intersection of buford and tucker.

- Well, that gives usa 360 degree possibility.

- Very helpful.- We're in for a long evening.

- We'll just have to cover it.

Gentlemen, we have a young girl out here somewhere.

She may be dying.

I don't have to tell you time is of the essence.

Let's go.

It's almost 5:00,we won't have much daylight.

Get these guys some water before dark.

I think we're wasting our time here.

- I hunt these woods.

If i was this guy, i'd beon the other side of the road.

Damn it. They can't find julie.The directions are wrong.

They've got to get more men on it then.

They've got to get the damn national guard.

Brad, our only hope is to find stracton.

He's the only onethat can lead us to her now.

- No place to hide on the way to bimini,

You don't suppose he'd try to sucker us, do you?

I bet he went north up to saint lucie,

And he cuts across the okeechobee waterway.

- And into the gulf of mexico at fort meyers.

What do you say we get a chopper in the air

And see if we're right?

It makes sense.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

Maybe i'm just kidding myself.

It's just not possible to beright in a

Situation like this.

Maybe we should have attacked.

Maybe we should have gone after the son of a bitch.

- We got a target. We got a target.

Cop [over radio]: attention,skipper.

Attention skipper.

This is the police.

Shut off your engine.

Shut off your engine and standby.

- Damn it.

Cop: in pursuit of vessel heading inland.

Request ground support.

Right. You're sure about that? Great.

- What?

Fairling -They found stracton.

Some place called hog island.

If he makes it to the myakka cutoff, we've lost him.

- Get the airplane ready.

Who's the expert on local terrain?

Doesn't make a damn bit of difference.

In 20 minutes, it will be so dark

You couldn't tell if a buffalo bit you.

- Let's go buffalo hunting.

- It's pitch black.

I think i've been all over these dammed hills.

I don't know how we'regoing to find this damn dig.

I'm going to call everybody in

And start in again in the morning,

You can't do that.

The clock is ticking for that kid.

I want to take a couple of men.

There's a little trail up there,i want to give it a shot.

Check in with the command post and keep me informed.

Gentlemen, i want you to head upthis hill and spread out.

[Dogs barkingand police radio chatter]

Keep your eyes open, gentlemen.Don't get ahead

Of yourselves.

I got a bad feeling about this place.

Walk lightly, gentlemen.

You have to feel as well as look.

- There he is! Hold it right there! Don't move!

[Agents all talking at once]

Hold it.

Look what we have here, gentlemen.

A wood screw, looks like a fresh one.

All right, gentlemen.

I want you to check everysquare inch of this area.

Look for some dug earth, disturbed leaves,

Broken twigs, cover every inch.

Damn! I found it!

Radio for help.

Start digging with your hands. Come on.

Julie!

This is the f.B.I. Can you hear me?

Answer me, can you hear me?

Get back. Get back.

Julie. I'm agent sorella, f.B.I. C'mon out of there.

You're all right. Come on.

Got her, boys. That's right.

What day is today?

- It's friday.

- Friday? - Uh-Huh.

They said they'd come back in two hours,

And they never came back.

- Two hours?

She's been in there for 83 hours.

You poor kid.

Is there anything wrong?

Let me take you back to my house.

My wife has a nice hot bath ready for you.

- Make way, boys.

Julie you are the handsomest man i have ever seen.

She's alive.

She's alive, julie is alive.

- Oh, god.

I knew it. I knew it.

[Door opens]

Daddy?

Daddy, oh god.

Oh, i told you, you have an expensive daughter.

Ah, good dr. Dantley.

I have written up a verdict.

- So? What is it?

When you failed to reattach to your mother,

You missed getting the one thing that makes us human.

The ability to feelwhat the other guy feels.

And since you don't feel it,

You don't feel it's wrong to hurt.

You don't feel guilt.

What you call that beast inside of you

Is just a rage-Filled,love-Sick child on a rampage.

Without guilt, without conscience,

And it's not a temporary condition.

You never never know right from wrong.

You're just a common sociopath, wayne.

That's what you'll tell the judge and the jury?

That i'm a sociopath?

Yep. That's what my report will say.

That i'm mentally ill?

I'll go to the state hospital, right?

They can't electrocute me.

Well, there is a hitch.

There's a hitch?

Our law does not allow a sociopath

To claim legal insanity.

-Why not?

Public policy.

There's just too many of you guys.

There's you bonnie and clyde.

You're all sociopaths,and you're all dangerous.

There's nothing romantic about you at all.

What are you saying?

That i'm mentally ill?

But that i am legally sane?

It's a common condition. Very ordinary.

Hey!

I thought i could trust you.

No. You thought you could con me.

It's a nice night.

Why don't we eat outside?

Your mother would rather not.

Julie i'm not going to do this.

I'm not going to live my lifeafraid of my own back yard.

That bastard made me feel things i never imagined.

Fear.

Hatred.

He showed us fear.

But i survived his damn box. We beat him.

People who helped us,people we don't even know.

We were stronger than he was. We won.

Come on.
