She needs you, Son.

Honey.

Babe, listen, you can't sit up here all alone.

We're all worried about you down there.

None of us is gonna get

through this alone, okay?

- I want my Mom back, I want her back.

- I know.

I want her back, too, Honey.

You know, before you were born...

Your Mom made me buy this piano.

I hate the piano, I hate that thing, I hate

everything, I'm never gonna play it again.

Janelle, look at me, Honey.

When I was, ah... just about your age...

my Dad died.

And Nana Mama came up and she would say...

all the things I'm trying

to say to you, Honey.

But out of everything she said,

she said that... that my father loved me.

And I know your Mom loved you, Honey.

And she loved me and she

loved your brother.

And when the person is gone, that love

just doesn't go away from 'em, it stays.

Do you understand me?

It stays, okay?

So, we're gonna try to

remember the love, okay?

Thank you, Baby.

Cross.

Good afternoon, Detective.

Am I calling at a bad time?

That depends, are you callin'

to tell me where you are,

so I can hunt you down

like a down like a rabid dog.

That's good. I can feel that.

I mean you looked so... numb

at the funeral today.

But now the pain's really

starting to flow, isn't it?

Here is another emotion for you...

it's pleasure.

The pleasure I'm gonna get when I watch your

soul come oozing out of your body, you maggot.

Well, Confucius said, "When setting off on

the path of revenge, dig two graves"

That's fine with me, as long

as you're in one of them. - Me?

Why me?

I mean, you made me do it.

It's all your fault.

I had you in my scope. Locked!

Then you just had to be so bright.

You had to try and...

and push my buttons.

Spouting all your psychobabble.

I decided that death would be just

too easy on you. No, you needed to suffer.

Really suffer. And so I

took away your wife instead.

And now you're gonna take this knowledge to the grave.

If you just had kept your mouth shut...

you wouldn't be feelin' any pain at all.

I saw the way how you and Tommy

were looking at each other.

I know what you're up to.

I loved her.

Like she was my own daughter.

Do I need to tell you this?

Look at you. Self-appointed,

judge, jury and executioner.

Mama, either you step aside or you go

back up those stairs, but you're in my way.

You just lost your wife

but you're still here.

Your soul is alive in your body.

You can't lose that, you know.

I not losing anything else.

I'm gonna deliver some justice.

Liar. Liar. Liar!

Some fool child placatin' me. You're gonna

go out there and get yourself killed.

- That's ain't gonna happen.

- How you gonna lay down if you do that?

You go home, you get up

the next day and then what?

I have to figure out how to live

another day without Maria.

Don't you walk out that door!

If you walk outta here tonight,

how you gonna walk back in?

How you gonna look your children in

the eye, what will you say to them?

I know what's going in your heart,

but you can't do this.

He won't stop.

I've seen his face.

I heard his voice.

I will always be a threat

to him, don't you understand that?

But I will meet his soul at

the gates of hell, before I let him.

Take another person from me that I love.

Look at me.

Now, these men are comin' to take

you and my children to someplace safe.

Go with them...

and don't you put up a fuss.

Hey!

I've got it.

Just where I left it.

Alex Cross. How's my girl Pop Pop doin'?

Not bad for somebody's payin' your tab.

Now, I don't know how

those rumors get started.

Why do you go see her so much?

Tryin' to make sure she doesn't

turn out like you, Holliday.

- Give her some hope.

- What do you want, Doctor? I have a long reach.

You wanna replace that old Yukon you been drivin'?

You wanna flat screen for your two little ones?

- A bunch of kitchen ware for your Mama.

- Hey, hey, hey.

Don't talk about my kids, don't say a word

about my children, you understand me?

Whatchya got for my wife?

Oh, Man, I'm sorry about that.

That was flat out cruel.

And I hope you don't think

my prints are on that.

You clowns gotta be this close?

Maybe you know somethin'

and you don't know you know it..

- That's everybody's story, Dr. Cross.

- I'm looking for a chemist.

- A mixer killed your wife?

- The killer used a chemist.

One. And you? You know all of 'em.

Well, the guy I'm looking for, he's got real bad

judgment or he must be hard up for money. Yeah.

- He's got mojo for cookin' exotica, who is that?

- Why would I want to help a cop?

- I ain't a cop right now, Holliday.

- No. No, you a real gangster.

Well, this top gangster,

in a real gangster car.

Do you know what this is?

A .38 with Pop Pop's fingerprints on it.

Found it when I busted her.

You and I both know that she

didn't pull the trigger on it, right?

So make you a deal.

Give me the chemist and I give you the gun.

My, my, Detective Cross, you have

definitely run off the reservation.

But you know full well

there was more than one gun.

What's this?

That's an answer.

You get any lawyer, file an appeal,

you know what happens?

The D.A.'s gonna have some evidence issues.

- Case dismissed. Give me a name.

- She walks?

Give me a name.

- I want to call my attorney.

- I am your attorney.

- Are you makin' TTX? You're makin' TTX?

- I don't know what you're talkin' about.

The woman he loves is dead and so is my wife.

You little maggot, you better talk to me

- Are you makin' TTX?

- I don't know what you're talkin' about?

You don't need an attorney,

you're gonna need a priest,

you sonofabitch, because

we're holding you responsible.

Get him up.

I want a name.

I want a name.

I WANT A NAME!!!

I can't... I don't know his name.

I don't know who he is.

What about those security cameras, huh?

Maybe one isn't blacked out?

That's him.

Go... go back, go back!

Blow it up!

- Damn it to hell, I don't have my glasses on...

- Yeah, I got it, I got it. T-D-8-6-zero.

Homicide.

- Kleb! We got a Cadillac, CTS, partial plate.

- Thomas, David, eight, six, zero.

- Thomas, David, eight, six, zero.

- Wait.

Lis... No, no, lis... listen to me. OnStar.

Okay, get them on the phone, they can

shut it down remotely. Let's go Tommy.

Appreciate your help.

OnStar says that they can't communicate

with the equipment, he's disabled it.

No, no, no, no, there's gotta be

a way to track that car.

We've researched this, all

you have to do is give 'em

the transponder receiver

number from the GPS, right?

Match it with the VIN number

and they'll tell you where it is.

Hold on! Yeah, I need you to track the car's

VIN number, okay? I'm gonna give it to you.

Zero-8-2-8-2-zero-1-1-4-1-3-zero-8. Yes!.

Yes, can you transmit that to my screen.

Perfect, okay, thank you.

It worked, he's downtown.

He's... he's heading, um...

Hold on, he's... he's heading

on West Canfield Street.

Downtown, Downtown,

what the hell is Downtown.

Guys, please don't tell me Mercier's downtown and
