Oh b0y, my fears...

Well, let's see. I never really

was comfortable with being alone.

Then all those other girls,

they were so jealous of the fact

that they had to worry about

what they were at school.

As if their parents cared.

When you're in the public eye,

beauty rules. You ladies know that.

Oh, no, no, no.

There is definitely

no "mister right. "

And I sort of...

wanted that attention.

But you know, from my Dad...

Not my real dad, he died,

but my stepfather.

But I wasn't quite sure

how to get it but...

I was passive, you know, and

I think that's my worst nightmare.

Being passive, so yeah...

I was a rebel in high school.

Always had like a little bra-strap

showing. The black lipstick. God...

I liked the attention walking down

the sidewalk, all those eyes on me.

But if a guy tried to talk to me,

I was like who a... so out of there.

I can't help it

if people are hooked on beauty.

Ever since my dad died, my real dad.

I either sleep with the TV on,

Or the lights on.

Sometimes I tell myself stories.

That kind of stuff. I hate the dark.

Where am I?

Please! Please!

My apartment?

No.

How did you get in my apartment?

Let me outta here, you f***!

You bastard!

You don't know who I am!

You won't get away with this!

There'll be police all over this!

You just entered a sh*t storm!

This guy went

all over the f***in' place.

And there's no prints either.

Not even a f***in' eyebrow here.

So I spoke to Miss Tree's father.

Didn't sound surprised at all.

She said she left home

when she was 15.

Mother lives in Paris.

- You got everything you need now?

- Yeah, I guess.

All right, John, bring it up.

Okay, we're done here.

Bettiger, come here for a second.

What are you doing?

It's Greek. It says...

- How do you know it's Greek?

- Because I read Greek.

You read Greek?

Yeah, I read Greek.

Okay. What does it mean?

It means, "reflect...

this dust that once knew fear. "

So what, you've got me.

So what?

There is definitely

no "mister right".

My parents weren't in line when

the love gene was being passed out

Yeah? I understand.

Yup. You got it, Chief.

Yes.

Okay. Okay, that's it. That's...

you hang in there, sweetie. Bye.

Sweetie, huh?

Mayor's bustin' his chops.

I want you to meet my new partner.

Ray "The Greek" Disantos.

Evidence of bone and tissue.

Yup, got it. Ten-four.

So the missing girl

is a movie star?

Model, hot... Latest thing.

So that was Wade in Forensics.

The ash in the salt cellar,

the DNA matched last year's victim.

Mary Deavro.

Oh, Mary. This kid was

a national cheerleader champ.

Me and you will inform

the parents personally.

'Cause I knew her.

Let them down easy.

All right.

So what do you guys make

of the victims? A pattern?

- Random.

- I don't buy it.

This guy doesn't do

anything without purpose.

Without precision.

Sex, torture, killing...

that's all the bonus.

It's the control.

That's what winds his clock.

Captured.

Me too.

Two days.

Why?

Please!

Please! Please help me!

Help.

Matches.

There's only a few of these,

so we shouldn't waste them, okay?

We got to get out of here.

But this whole place is sealed

like some kind of wine cellar.

I tried going through

the vents, I got part

of the way, it was too narrow.

I got stuck.

Have you seen him?

No, he's been drugging me, I have

absolutely no f***in' sense of time.

God, I know this might sound

incredibly selfish,

but right now

I'm thanking God I'm not alone.

You okay?

Hear that?

Oh, f*** you, motherf***er!

You think he's

been listening to us?

Gotta figure, yeah.

Assuming he is even a he.

Oh, trust me, he's a he.

Women don't do this kind of sh*t.

You know that for a fact?

Yeah, I've been stalked.

And I know creeps,

it comes with the job.

What exactly is your job?

Celebrity.

Are you telling me it's like

a big deal that you're gone?

Maybe, maybe not.

I've flaked out a couple of times.

He knows all about me.

He's been in my apartment.

He's got books

and stuff from mine.

Yeah, he's got my clothes.

Everything else is easy.

Easy?

Every interviewer's asked me

anything you can imagine.

What are you afraid of?

If you have to choose

between pink and orange?

What's your idea of Hell?

You always give them the answers?

It's flirtation, sometimes you tell

them the truth, sometimes you don't.

But even your idea of Hell?

I didn't tell them that.

Let me guess.

Isolation.

Damn it!

It's okay, look at me.

How did he get you?

I got suckered into going to this

charity event at a club in Soho.

Someone must've put

something in my drink.

That f***er...

I needed some fresh air,

there was a hand on my shoulder,

leading me outside.

And then a damp cloth...

The last thing

I remember was thinking

that I hope he's not smearing

my eye makeup all Over.

And you?

I was driving from Nebraska

to Connecticut. I got tired,

so I pulled into a truck stop.

I woke up,

'cause I thought I heard

the sound of someone crying.

I got out to see what the hell

was going on. And then, wham...

You see that?

Last thing I remember...

was the smell of french fries from

the all-night diner at the stop.

You...

Here you go.

Coffee's lukewarm. What were you

doing, consulting a psychic?

I was gettin' my Mac on brother...

Mac on...

- Doin' my thing.

- What the f*** is this?

Did you f*** with my phone?

You need to take better care

of your toys, man.

Yeah, Chief.

Hey, did you get sh*t about

that model? What's her name?

Miss Tree.

Check on everybody from

the club, guests and staff...

Yeah, I appreciate that, but

there were 700 people in that club.

And?

I've got 3 teams on it.

We're making progress.

Don't forget the caterers.

Get back to me.

You got it.

- I know what the footprints mean.

- Yeah, why don't you enlighten me?

Think of a story.

YOu're on a beach. In Hawaii.

Oh yeah, the water's blue.

If you're in here...

what do you want?

I knew you were going

to do this to me too.

You know I've never been...

comfortable with the dark.

I don't like being in the dark.

It's always been a phobia.

When you go on Safari, just nature

is so awesome, don't you think?

It was sort of scary too at the

same time, even though I loved it.

All that space

just freaked me out

Here.

Is this what you want?

Gary.

Are you okay?

Yeah...

He cut my hair.

Why would he do that?

He's cleaning things up, he comes

in when he wants to and checks us.

Was he taking blood samples?

Hey, you listening to me,

wherever you are!

What's the point

of antagonizing him?

YOu got a better idea?

Let's give this guy a show!

Whatever he wants!

Whatever the f*** that is!

Why take blood samples

and cut my hair off?

I don't know, for a DNA maybe.

DNA, what does he

want to do, clone us?

He's a mad scientist,

how would I know?

Forget it,

this isn't going anywhere.

So what do you do?

When you're not

trapped in a wine cellar.

I sleep in other people's cars.

When people want...

to drive their cars
