Breeders

Who told you a cheap dinner in

an Italian restaurant was a ticket to a girl's bed?

Don't you ever call me again, you creep.

47th and Broadway

Leave me alone!

I'm sorry, miss.

I didn't mean to frighten you.

You'd have been a lot sorrier.

With your eyes full of Mace.

You do know you shouldn't be

in this neighbourhood at this hour.

I wouldn't recommend it for you either.

You're crazier than I am.

I live around the corner.

I have no choice.

Rudolph knows I prefer to take him for a walk

than to find something unpleasant

in the morning.

You wouldn't believe this place in the old days.

My wife and I took our babies for strolls

in a perambulator.

This building housed

my favourite chocolate shop.

- How bad is it, doc?

- About as bad it can get, detective.

Is she gonna make it?

She'll make it,

but I'm not sure she's gonna want to.

- What do you mean?

- You're gonna have to see to understand.

- God.

- I toldyou.

- What kind of maniac would have done this?

- Somebody very, very sick.

I've never seen anything like it.

We haven't figured out

what he did in conjunction with the rape.

But our tests show

some kind of damage from acid.

- LSD?

- No, some kind of corrosive acid.

It's all right.

I'm Dr Gamble Pace. You're safe.

Don't be afraid, Donna.

This man is here to help.

He's from the police department.

I'll be here while you talk.

Hi, Donna.

I'm Detective Dale Andriotti.

If you can tell me everything that happened,

I'm gonna find whoever did this.

I don't remember.

I don't remember anything.

I don't remember.

You're notdead. You'realive.

If you're alive, you can remember

and we can find him.

Please, Donna, try.

A German man...

...with a dog. He...

Tell me, what did he look like?

Who was he?

This has happened each time.

Partial recall and then

a selective amnesiac or catatonic state.

Geoffrey, bring me enough

bandages to change her dressing.

Her wounds are reinfecting rapidly.

I want a 24 hour watch on this patient

Who sent all these flowers?

We haven't notified her family yet.

I brought them over.

Mrs Arquette died last night.

- She doesn't need them any more.

- Oh, I see. That's enough for now.

- You wanna talk about this?

- Sure. Are you angrywith me?

This kind of case makes me want to kill

every man that was ever born.

Hey, I'm an innocent bystander.

I know. And you're a specialist.

But there's more to this

than what you've seen.

- What do you mean?

- Come with me.

Look at these statistics.

Five days, five women.

Amnesia can occur in a trauma like this,

but they all have it.

Also there are other signs that match,

in every case.

Disturbing signs.

Each rape has been particularly brutal.

What about this?

Each victim remembers a different assailant.

A sailor, a businessman, a fat man,

even a woman.

This guy must have some excellent disguises.

Look, the EKGs show something unreal.

Brain wavelength so intense that it's inhuman.

What?

I don't get it. Something about these attacks

has actually changed these women.

It's as if some sort of drug

had been forced on them.

And this organic matter.

Each victim has traces of it on their bodies.

It's also unidentifiable, untraceable.

- Sorry, youcan'tsmoke inthisoffice.

- Sorry.

- What about semen? Does it match?

- No traces of semen.

We found some kind of matter on the women

that we can't analyse.

And inside of them this thick black substance.

- What else did the women have in common?

- Get ready for this.

Until this happened,

each one of them has been a... virgin.

OK, that's it. Let's take lunch.

- Great. Let's go.

- All right, I'm starved.

Wanna eat Thai food, Gail?

- Sure. Karinsa, Thai food?

- You guys go ahead.

You got twenty suits to do this afternoon.

You're gonna need your nourishment.

I'll look better

with a workout and no lunch.

I don't want you so weak you'll faint.

This is still new to you.

It's a breeze compared to gymnastics.

I practised that ten hours a day.

Remind her of that when we do overtime.

- You sure?

- Goon.

OK, see you in a while.

Oh, God, I'm sorry...

It's OK. Did you forget something?

My wallet.

Go get it.

I'm sorry...

That's OK, relax.

It's not like you were after my body.

Ted!

Ted, are you all right?

Look, anything you say here

will not go any further.

Good. I thought that if I said too much

you could have me fired.

Fired? What gave you an idea like that?

Have you done something wrong?

No, I just...

All the stuff happening to these girls

has made me afraid.

If everybody who got afraid

once in a while was fired,

we'd have very understaffed hospitals.

What is it exactly that's upsetting you?

Why have these girls been attacked?

I got their reports from the file this afternoon

and none of them were...

None of them were what?

None of them had ever been with a man.

Innocent girls are raped every day, Kathleen.

I wish I could tell you otherwise, but it's the truth.

It's hard for us. It's hard for everyone.

You're not the only woman who's alone,

afraid, and with no one to protect her.

There are alot of us... lots of them.

The sooner you realise that

you have to grow up and be a big girl,

the sooner you'll stop being afraid.

I know. You're right.

YOU haveTObe. Lookatyou.

Yeah, look at me. I'll see you this afternoon

in the treatment room. 4.30, OK?

- All right.

- OK.

Karinsa, can you hear me?

Yes.

Noone can hurt you now.

You must tell us what you remember

so it doesn't happen to others.

I... I was in the studio...

I wanted to be alone.

- Nooneelse was there?

- Noone.

And then he came back.

Who?

- He came back for his wallet.

- Who was he?

Karinsa, did you know him?

What was his name?

It was Ted!

It was Ted!

It's all right, Karinsa. It's all right.

What do you think, Lester?

It's a little dark, but there's none of the

usual scumbags around.

Life is so screwed up.

Look at these.

Probably the best session she ever had

and then this had to happen.

She was very beautiful.

Was?

You saw her. She's pretty badly out up.

She'll probably be scarred.

- Looks like the rapist used acid on her.

- Oh, God.

I feel like...

Why do I feel this guilt?

You left her, you found her.

It's a natural reaction.

That girl was only 18.

She was just a sweet little gymnast.

I brought her her from Wisconsin.

This never should have happened to her.

It's not your fault.

You had nothing to do with it.

- Then who did?

- Ted.

Ted?

You know somebody named Ted?

Yes. It's Ted.

He works for me. He's my stylist.

It couldn't possibly have been him.

Was he here yesterday?

Yes.

We worked, we went to lunch.

He left and never came back.

Alec and I got back to the studio

and found Karinsa.

I forgot all about him.

Do you think he could... There's no way.

Could he have been with Karinsa

while you were gone?

Possibly, but no.

There's no way it could have been Ted.

Look, I know teachers, businessmen,

politicians, priests who were all rapists.
