Original subtitles

Thank you for the horse.

You liked him.

Oh, he's beautiful.

But I thought we were going sailing today.

You promised.

Well, that one's too old.

See, now that'll do.

Come on.

Come on, Mr. E.

It's broken.

Who says?

Mockylock.

Now, Edward, we agreed.

No more Mockylock.

Mockylock is the boogeyman.

Mockylock wants me where I am.

We can fix it.

Edward.

Sing a song of sixpence.

Sing a song of sixpence.

A pocketful of rye.

Four -and -twenty blackbirds.

Make me love pie.

Rise and shine.

Dr. E is doing fine.

Did we go sailing?

Mocky Lock showed up.

Mocky Lock is the boogeyman.

Mocky Lock wants me where I am.

Mocky Lock is a pain in the ass.

Where did you get Mocky Lock again?

Mother goes.

Henry? Barry? What's the matter, Barry?

Edward's parents are here.

He needs a haircut.

He'd love it when you visit.

My husband wonders if that's true.

He wants to place Edward in a hospital.

I'm sorry, Catherine.

Mr. Baines, I've been working on this project for seven years.

Please don't take offense, Dr. Kent.

Your work's invaluable to this company.

But you're not sure about me.

We've waited 18 months for signs of progress.

There has been progress.

There's no proof, Catherine.

With all due respect, Mr. Baines, I'm not the one who designed the procedure.

I mean, I wish I could take credit for it, but I can't.

I was chosen to do a job.

They picked me.

But if you think there's someone better... or someone who's more devoted

your son... Don't establish your ability, Catherine.

Then what is it, then?

There's no proof, Catherine.

There's no proof the procedure works.

All you're giving me is the belief that your interaction with my son is not our

own.

I'd better get back to work. All right. Oh, goodbye, Mrs. Benz. Thank you. Thank

you. Thank you.

Helen, Charlotte, Lucien.

Lucky she worships you.

Why, because he hates me?

I wouldn't say hates.

Distrust, dislikes immensely, can't bear the sight of.

What's the verdict?

Well, we've got another six months.

Barry had to push for that.

I want to reverse the feed, Miriam.

Now more than ever.

We've been through this a hundred times, Catherine. It's too risky.

Why not? What do we have to lose?

When I did social work, it was always better when we took the kids out of

environment.

Foster homes can be scary at first.

But eventually they see that things can be different.

Edward is like that right now.

He's living in a world that is not healthy.

Let's show him a different place.

All right.

Let's say we do it your way.

We reverse the feed and we bring Edward into your mind. Can you imagine his

shock when he finds that he's been thrust into this whole other world? I do

all the time. Yes, but you're a willing participant, Catherine.

You're aware of what's happening.

Edward's in a coma.

And besides, we don't know what effect it will have on you.

I mean, you're already exhausted.

Have you been sleeping?

Yes. Any more nightmares?

No.

No. Good.

Leave work here.

Don't take it home in this.

Hey, you.

What are you looking for?

What? Want some milk?

Not so much power.

The Animoge is talented.

Edward, is that you?

Edward?

Were there seals being killed on the beach while you were sailing?

Don't hide, sweetie, please.

Edward, is that you?

Don't be afraid.

No one will hurt you.

Edward, is that you?

Thanks for waiting, Cole.

Teddy Lee, no problem.

Special Agent Ramsey.

Cole. Morning.

Who found her?

Surveyor for the railroad. About 6 this morning.

Skid marks appear to match the tire tracks from Reno.

Looks like he scraped the rail off some paint, too.

That's on its way to the lab already.

Dump the body over there.

Bleach. Ann Marie Vixie.

She makes seven.

Gee.

Do they all look like dolls?

Every unfortunate soul.

What's that?

It's some kind of a collar.

Part of his methodology.

The way he puts it there?

He makes it for them.

Makes them feel they belong to him.

Is the water always this low?

Yeah, this time of year.

Give me a coroner's report right away.

Preliminary forensics, too.

I don't want anyone dragging their ass on this.

0 .11 cents to 7 .7 cents a pound.

Last week, the U .S. Agriculture Department said it was expected to drop

this year. The first decline is that...

Yeah, good luck with the monster. Okay. I love you, too. I've got to go. Okay,

please. All right.

Bye -bye.

I'll open that now.

Oh, nothing new to report, gentlemen.

A match on his semen.

Water in her lungs.

Show high levels of chlorine and rust.

What pray tell is this?

They say they found some dog hair.

From a canine unit?

No, there was no canine unit.

And then Vixie doesn't own a dog, Teddy.

I want to see that.

What you got, Teddy?

melanosis. And that means?

A complete absence of melanin.

The dog is an albino.

He'd love an animal like that.

Gentlemen, I believe an albino dog is a rare animal indeed.

Thank you.

Jesus Christ, Peter.

I thought you were going to get some sleep, clean yourself up.

I did.

They're waiting, eh?

I'm ready.

Let's go.

We're going to do this two ways.

Breeders of German shepherds.

Ford dealers.

I want you to be thorough, and I also want you to be fast. This guy's

accelerating. He only waited six days this time.

When he first started, months could pass.

Now, that means one of two different things.

One, he thinks we're stupid and we can't catch him.

Two, which is the one that I believe, he wants to be caught.

The dog here thing is sloppy.

He leaves Anne -Marie Vixie in three inches of water.

He knew that we'd find her.

There's one thing I know for certain.

If we can't stop him, he ain't gonna stop himself.

Will this be all right?

Yes, ma 'am, that's great. Thank you very much.

Is she still living at home, ma 'am?

We were looking for apartments.

But they're not moving in together until after the wedding.

Julia wants to be married.

Did she ever mention anything out of the ordinary?

For instance, somebody she recently met or somebody perhaps watching her,

following her?

No.

Maybe this isn't the man. Maybe Julia's safe.

There are certain things that he does that make us pretty positive that this

the man.

Last year, I lost my husband to cancer.

He went through such terrible pain.

But Julia was always there for him.

What's going on, Gordon?

Riverside Sheriff found a dog breeder in Woodcrest.

Three years ago, she had a buyer for an albino shepherd pup.

Sheriff checks DMV. Son of a bitch drives a 92 Ford pickup.

Guess what color?

Aqua blue.

Edison, just east of Loma Barge. Was at the house under surveillance for about

20 minutes.

Carl Rudolph Starger. No registered weapons, no prior. Got a license for his

dog, though.

Named him Valentine.

Ha!

I can't believe it.

Agent Ramsey, Agent Novak, we got here as fast as we could. I briefed them on

the way over. Where do we stay?

Here's the situation.

Got a high ground team on the roof, four -man element to the east, got an entry

team in the van, and across from the house, a two -man element to the south.

Have you seen him yet?

No.

There's been some movement in the kitchen.

Can't tell where it is.

You think the girl's in there? We'll proceed assuming that she is.

Take him to County General.

Reed's already there.

Make sure he stays cuffed. I want two men on him at all times.

I don't want anyone to treat him but Reed.

Not so much as a thermometer up his ass, understand?

Hmm.

She's not here.

Yeah.

You should, uh, you should come downstairs.

Have you ever heard of Weyland's infraction?

It's a form of schizophrenia.

It's very rare and it's very severe.

In any schizophrenic, these areas would be affected.

But in someone with Weyland's, they're hit hard and they're hit fast.

Can't you load him up with Thorazine or Dysoxine? Normal psychotropics don't

work. This thing is caused by a virus that infects the neurological system in

utero. It lays dormant.

until it's triggered by some kind of trauma.

Most likely, he's exhibited symptoms for some time, but the infraction or the

breach didn't occur till today.

The triggers can vary, usually water -related, but the results don't vary.

He's not just catatonic.

He's disappeared.

Like having a dream and never waking up.

For how long?

Oh, forever.

I think we might be missing the bigger picture here.

Now, whatever state that he happens to be in, there is a girl that is missing.

And her name is Julia Hickson.

And he is the only one that knows where she is.

He keeps them in this thing for about 40 hours.

Now, he took Julia Hickson at 7 .30 last night.

Peter, you know me.

If there were anything, anything...

He provides them with food, drinking water, and a toilet.

Now, she thinks she's been kidnapped, that there's a chance of survival, but

it's just a form of torture.

This is a kind of ritual for him, a cleansing before he takes him home and

him into a doll, a toy.

Now, this thing is fully automated, and unless we find her by tonight,

this will happen to her.

At the request of Mr. Cooperman, we contacted your board of directors, and

they've given their approval.

And so have Edward's parents.

But the decision is yours.

Henry?

Yes?

Mary?

It's up to Catherine.

She's the one who'd have to face whatever risks there might be.

So I support whatever decision she makes.

Can I ask you something?

Please.

If he wasn't like this, if he was conscious, do you think that he would

where she is?

There's always a chance of a confession, yeah.

And there's things that he's done that show a need for disclosure.

He hasn't had a sympathetic ear.

He wants someone to listen, to try and understand him.

Look, I feel for this girl, I do.

But Starger may no longer know the truth.

For severe schizophrenics, there's no discerning between fantasy and reality.

Is it possible?

If you came to trust me, yes.

But it takes months to earn that kind of trust.

What happened here?

We removed 14 steel rings.

Should have left him the way he was.

He used to suspend himself, didn't he?

They're comforted by the feeling of weightlessness.

Like floating in water.

Now, this gentleman is... The catalyst.

The neurological synaptic transfer system not only maps the mind,

it sends the signal to another party.

All you need to do is tune in. But you do much more than tune in.

You become part of the show.

He's ready.

Why the three stations?

For a while, we tried joint therapy sessions. Two shrinks for the price of

but Edward hated it. He'll only talk to Catherine.

She has a gift.

Are you sure?

Response signal.

Functioning. We implanted a touch -sensitive microchip in her hand so that

wants to stop the session, or if it gets too intense, she can give the signal

and we abort.

When... We were ready for practical testing.

Miriam and I auditioned some of the best child therapists in the country. And

all they did was observe and report, nothing more.

Catherine was the least experienced, but she came so highly recommended that we

decided, what the hell, we'll give her a shot. And immediately we could tell she

was different.

Hey, you.

Yeah, you like that, don't you?

Is your name Carl?

No, I know another little boy with a horse.

His name's Edward.

The boy, not the horse.

You killed them!

She's had quite a journey, not like anything we've ever seen before.

So she's made contact.

Oh, yes.

She's gone very deep into his world, times too far.

It's cold.

That could be dangerous.

What are you talking about? Well, if she came to believe that Starger's world is

real, then theoretically her mind could convince her body that... Anything that

was done to it there is actually done.

It's like the old wives tale. You die in your dream, you die in your life.

Henry, could you raise the temperature in here, please?

Dr. Kent? Just a moment, please.

Dr. Kent, can I come in there and speak with you, please? We have to be patient.

I mean, look at her. She's drowsy.

Let her wake up.

We don't have a lot of time. Do you understand that?

Am I interrupting anything?

Is it okay if I...

He

knows you're here, doesn't he?

My friend, Dr.

Reed, said... That's very unusual.

Schizophrenia, that is.

A child that's this young?

They usually think it's autism.

What you have to understand is there's nothing wrong with his body.

What's paralyzed is a part of his mind.

So damaged by the virus, he can't even will himself to move.

You think you can change that?

Do you believe there's a part of yourself that you don't show anybody?

I think everybody has that side of themselves.

During a session when I'm inside, I get to see those things.

I feel them.

With Starger, I felt things I never want to feel again.

He's not even called Starger anymore.

He's this idealized version of himself, a king in a very, very twisted kingdom.

It's a place for him to... Indulge every... You know, I don't want to talk

this in here.

I could never do what you do.

Devote myself to understanding a mind like that.

I don't think I'll ever be able to understand a mind like that.

But you try. That's your job.

I guess so.

You don't like what you do?

I like it better my old job.

I used to be an attorney.

I was a prosecutor.

What happened?

I had a case where this little girl was molested.

And because of this one tiny piece of evidence that was tainted, he walked.

Charles Gish walked away.

Nothing I could do about it.

The night after he was released, Margaret's parents came home.

That was the little girl's name, Margaret Sims.

And they found Charles Gish sitting in their living room, was watching

television, and Margaret was sitting next to him.

And he had cut her open right down the middle.

And the parents found Margaret's heart in the freezer.

Charles figured they'd probably want to keep it.

After that, I left the D .A. and joined the FBI.

Figured I'd just try to catch him.

Till now.

Yeah.

You know, I started to tell you that Starger really isn't Starger anymore.

Well, that's true, and it's not.

The dominant side is still this horrible thing, but there's a positive side.

Positive side?

Well, the way he sees himself as a child.

But isn't that him?

The boy Starger made contact. He's curious about me.

If I could reach the boy, then maybe he'd tell me about Julia.

Whatever happened to Charles Gish?

Old Charlie beat the murder rap because he was the same when he killed Margaret.

His attorney milked the jury for all they were worth.

Said that a life of sexual abuse drove him to do these things. You know,

whatever the fuck, all that same old bullshit.

Why is that bullshit?

I believe a child can experience a hundred times worse the abuse than

went through.

I still grew up to be somebody that would never, ever, ever hurt another

being.

You're sure of that?

Yes, I am.

I'm sure of that.

Hey, where the hell you been?

I've been right here.

Well, next time tell me, okay?

I didn't want to disturb you. You look so cute. You know, you're all sleepy

you get that look on you.

Your colleagues want to know what to do with, uh, with Sarger.

Tell them to prep him.

I'll be right there.

Thank you.

Starger have any pets? No cats?

Dogs?

Yeah, you're a good boy, aren't you, Valentine?

That's supposed to help?

On a subconscious level, yes.

Anything that was special to Starger, gave him pleasure, should make him more

accessible, more peaceful.

Peaceful?

That's enough. That'll do.

Done any of that?

Doctor. Thank you. You got it.

Round two.

Not funny.

Not funny, Henry.

Catherine? Come on, stop playing around.

I'm not.

It's a power problem.

We're locked out, Catherine.

I need you to check the circuit breaker.

I want you to check circuit 6 through 12.

Come on.

Get up.

6 through 12.

What did she say?

Come here, boy.

Valentine.

Can you take me to Carl?

I've got a present for you.

If you need me, or if you feel like I'm around but you can't find me, just...

shine it like this.

Good, thank you.

You like it?

Huh?

What's the matter?

What happened over here?

Broke all by itself.

Oh.

You broke that plate.

I broke the plate. Did you break that plate?

I broke the plate.

Hey!

Let's break them all. How about that?

You little fucking liar!

I should have drowned you like the run of the litter.

You don't lie in my house.

My house.

I don't think you would have taken him. For dolls? For girls, you dumb whore!

You're not his mother!

She's not your mother.

She left us, Carl. Remember that.

See that?

See that?

Jesus Christ.

The fuck is it? Get back here! Get over here!

Playing with dolls?

Little faggot!

She was my first.

And I made such a mess.

She didn't know what I was doing.

Why are you here?

Don't lie.

I came to help you. Lie.

Bitch.

Come on.

You sound like your father.

Come on.

He was nothing. He is nothing.

Do you remember the first time he talked to you?

Were you in water?

Maybe you went swimming.

It was my baptism.

My father, he pushed me under.

I think I had some kind of seizure.

Everybody just looked at me.

Nobody helped me.

My

father,

he took me home that night and he broke three

of my ribs and fractured my jaw.

I was six years old.

What your father did to you is evil.

What he did to you is wrong.

He treated you like a thing.

He was more powerful than me.

No, no one should be treated like that.

Is that right?

In what world do you live in?

Carl, where is Julia Hickson? No.

No names.

No names!

Where is she?

I know you, Carl. You want to go there.

Are you not...

It's going to fall.

No change.

What about emergency cessation? No. Gradually terminate the feed. Disable

receptors. It could lead to massive shock. And Henry, could you please shut

thing off? What's going on?

That hypothetical situation I told you about? It's happening.

Well, can't you stop it? It's not that simple.

We've stopped... Yes, that was different. That was Edward. With Starga,

is unfamiliar territory, and she's lost. She thinks this is real.

Well, is there anything that we can do? Whatever we do runs the risk of making

things worse for her. Worse.

That's great.

So she's lost somewhere.

Henry.

No.

No. No what?

I need you here.

Look, I got bugs crawling all over my body.

It gets worse.

You're completely unprepared for this.

Ah, Dr. Kent, we've been over all this.

Yes, but I've been through the process.

She went through the process, too. It didn't matter.

You don't know him.

Okay.

Be lucky.

Peter, the first few minutes will be very disorienting. Remember to stay calm

and focused.

Instincts play a very important part here, so trust them.

Peter, you've read her file.

Hit her with something personal.

And remember, Peter, it's not real.

Is that you?

Daddy do a bad thing.

Naughty worm.

Your baby brother had a car accident.

He was in a coma for six months.

I'm sorry for saying that!

But you gotta wake up!

It's not real!

Where he keeps them.

Carl.

Oh, it's okay.

Julia.

Don't be scared.

I would never hurt you. I'm your friend.

And Peter, he's a friend too.

Do you know where this place is?

Like on a map?

I

am

so proud of you.

Even if Peter doesn't find Julia, I promise I will come back and help you.

What are you doing?

I saw her. I know how to find Julia. I just can't leave him here. God damn it,

Catherine, let's go.

I know how to find her.

No!

Is she okay?

Take it easy, Peter. Just breathe. Is she okay?

Yeah, I think she is.

Can you get me out of this fucking door?

Call Snowback.

Yeah, what's up?

I want you to go down to the basement.

It's Doug's workplace.

And call me when you get down there.

They haven't finished building the grid yet. Fuck the grid. Call me when you get

down there.

You okay, Pete?

I'm fine. You want to tell me what happened there?

Oh, fuck it.

You in pain? I'm in pain.

What happened?

I saw her.

Who do you see? I know where to find her. Who?

Julia. I know where to find her. Oh, okay.

Why don't you come and, uh, why don't you come and let Dr. Kent have a look at

you, huh?

Pete?

Yeah, this is Cole. Now, what am I doing down here?

That machine that he uses, there's a hoist.

And I want you to look for a plaque or a metal plate with some sort of logo on

it.

Yeah, I got it.

It's Carver Industrial Equipment in Bakersfield, California.

Okay. I want you to find out every goddamn thing that you can about that

machine. Who used it, who sold it, who bought it.

Just find me everything you can. I'm going to call you from the chapter in

20 minutes.

All right, let me have a look.

Good.

The FBI has left the building. What? I haven't had a chance to clear Novak.

What did you expect me to do?

There's no way I could stop.

Go.

I'm okay. Are you sure? Let me have a look. Come on.

Peter, just talk to me.

What if your mind is playing tricks on you?

They shot you full of drugs, Peter. Who knows if what you saw is real?

Catherine?

Catherine?

Open this door.

Do not jeopardize your careers in our authorized procedure. You know that.

God, this is dangerous.

What are you doing?

she's doing.

Christ's sake.

Catherine!

Jesus.

She changed the code. You can't get in. What happened?

She reversed the feeds.

What does that mean? The process is intended for her to go into his mind.

instead, she's bringing him into her.

I promised I'd come back and help you.

See, I always keep my promises.

Can I stay here with you?

No, honey, I'm sorry. It doesn't work that way.

There's nothing I can do about that.

Yes, there is.

When I was a little boy, I found this bird.

And he was injured.

He had a broken leg or something.

My father found out that I had it.

And I knew that he would do something horrible to it.

It was just a matter of time.

So I took it to the sink and I held it under.

It was better for the bird.

I saved him.

I can't do that, Carl.

I won't.

It doesn't matter.

He always finds me.

Thank you.

Agent Novak, go ahead.

Call. Yeah, Novak, listen to this. The hoist was sold to a guy named Bainbridge

who tried to build the machine works out of Delano.

Bainbridge ends up in bankruptcy court, and the state winds up with the land.

And guess who they hire to seal the place up?

Oh, you're fucking kidding me. No, I'm not the kidding type.

Carl Rudolph Starger.

Where's the land?

Exit 10 off Nightway 99. We're on our way now. Got it. I know where that is.

My world, my rules.

Oh god.

SHUT THE BAT!

Hey, Ramsey.

He's here.

Okay, let us through.

There's somebody outside for you.

What's she doing here?

Said she wanted to see his home.

That's pretty strange.

She's keeping his dog, Peter. I'd say pretty fucking strange, as far for the

course.

They almost didn't recognize

you.

How long do you get to be a civilian?

A couple weeks.

Until after the inquiry and see what happens.

Ramsey told me you were thinking of, what do you call that thing?

Reversal. Reversal. With the kid that you were working with? Yeah, Edward.

Edward.

Are you sure you want to do that?

Absolutely.

You're not worried about what might happen?

I would never do anything to hurt Edward.

It wasn't him I was worried about.

What about you? How are you?

Not sure. I... I don't remember pieces of everything.

According to the FBI, you guys put me on some drug -fueled mind bender.

Which then...

triggered a memory I already had, and officially we found Julia Hickson

good old -fashioned detective work.

I guess this is hello and goodbye then.

Thanks for everything, Ken.

Bye.
