Kiss the Girls Page #3

How you feelin', old man?

Swimmers, take your mark!

Come on, keep to it.|Move those bodies. Let's go!

Kick it up! Move it!|Speed, speed! Muscle, muscle!

- Excuse me.|- Yeah.

I'm looking for Dr. Wick Sachs.

Uh, lane five.|He's, uh, destroying my varsity.

Thank you.

Sure. Let's go, blondie.|Pick it up!

I can't tell you much|you don't already know.

I gave Naomi|some academic guidance...

which she politely disregarded,|and that was that.

Excuse me.

I really don't have time to get|to know my patients very well...

although I do know that Naomi...|was a special woman.

My heart goes out to you.

Word is that you make time...

to get to know|some of your special patients.

Whatever you may have heard,|I certainly don't have time...

to kidnap and mutilate|any of them.

I understand how you must feel,|you being a...psychologist...

and a policeman...|and her uncle.

It must be like suffering|the tortures of the damned.

For me or for her?

Well, both.

It's yours.

He's never made strikes|this close together, has he?

An intern, huh?

Yeah. He had a vacancy.

Out. Never call out.

Never call out.

Never call out.

Somebody help me.

My name is Kate!|I'm Kate McTiernan!

I'm a doctor at the Carolina|Regional Medical Center!

I need help!

I know you can hear me!

Come on! Who's out there?!

Somebody help...

My name is Kate McTiernan.|Somebody talk to me!

Who is out there?

Be quiet.

Be quiet, or he'll kill you.

Oh, my God.

What's your name?

What's your name?

Talk to me, please,|please, please.

Tell me your name.

I'm Mary Jane Capaldi.

It's good to...it's good to hear|your voice, Mary Jane.

Are you OK?

I'm|Kristen Miles. I'm here, too.

Melissa Stanfield.

I don't know how long|I've been here.

What month is it?

I'm Samantha Gaines.

Carol Akers.

My...my name is Naomi Cross.

I've been here for 8 days,|I think.

Yeah, I know.|I miss you, too, darlin'.

No, you know I do.

How's Nan?

Well, that's good.

You stay with her, you hear?

Hang on, Janell. Just a second.

Aah! Oh! Jesus.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

"Odalisques|were the most valuable...

"of the emperor's treasures...

"gifted in the arts|of music and poetry." Talented.

Special.

"Welcome to Durham, Dr. Cross.

"Giovanni Giacomo Casanova|de Seingalt."

Well, I guess you've got a fan.

I'll say one thing for our boy...

He's got very nice penmanship.

He's f***in' with you,|that's all it is.

Yeah, but this tells us|he's trackin' the case.

He's readin' the local papers.|We can use that.

An odalisque, uh,|it's a statue, right?

A tall, pointy thing...

- You're thinking of obelisk.|- Oh.

Odalisque is a harem girl...

a concubine, sex slave.

Oh, there it is,|just like you said.

So he's telling us|all these gals are alive.

- Mm-hmm.|- Why is he telling us that?

Demonstrates his power,|his dominance.

That certainly fits.

Our profiles|of the murdered women...

show they all shared|one trait...

that would have set off|the control freak in our guy.

They're all strong-willed.|They're all defiant.

How many of the other|girls share that profile?

At least one.

You want to hurt me?

OK, come on.

They can be bigger...OK.

And they can be stronger...|F***in' nuts!

Knock me down.

Oh, my God.

You could|have been the best, Kate.

I may be going crazy here...

but didn't I warn you|about breaking the rules?

- I'm sorry.|-"I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry."

- I'll do anything you want.|- What? What did you say?

I said I'll do|anything you want.

Oh, I know you will.

Give me your arm.

I said, give me your arm.|Come on.

Give it to me.

Kate!

Kate!

Kate!

Kate!

Kate!

Aah!

This is not the way|it works, Kate.

All right, now. OK.

Easy, girl. Easy, now.

Come on.

What do you know?

Only that|she's in some kind of shock.

The kids who found her...

were fishing near|the Wykagil White Water.

The what?

Wykagil,|it's a river way out of town.

Well, lookee here.|We got us a circus up ahead.

Here he comes.|Detectives, can you confirm...

What concerns us|is behavior...

that suggests psychological|trauma, especially acute...

Doctor, doctor,|can you tell us exactly when...

she'll be able to talk to us?

What I'm getting at|is Kate McTiernan...

appears to be suffering|from posttraumatic shock.

There's no telling|when she'll be lucid.

It could be hours or weeks.|You guys have to remember...

that this girl|is very lucky to be alive.

Can you at least|tell us your best guess?

We can't go on that, doc.

Dr. Ruocco. Excuse me.

My name is Cross.|I'm Dr. Alex Cross.

Yes, I know who you are.|I know your work.

I'm consulting with|the local police on this case.

I need to see Kate McTiernan.

I'm sorry, but she does not|need another doctor.

Listen, the last thing|I want is to crowd you.

My request is personal.

One of the women|abducted was my niece.

I really need to talk|to this woman.

It's all right.|It's all right.

You're safe now. You're safe.

This woman's a fighter.

I wouldn't argue with that...

but we were off pegging this|as posttraumatic shock.

Her vitals|are meandering downhill.

Everything is|systematically shutting down.

And, of course,|you screened her for drugs?

Yes, we did.

Her blood, her urine...|they're clean.

Something is doing damage|that we don't have a finger on.

- Whoever did this...|- Is cunning.

Yeah, he's cunning,|but he doesn't know his history.

Hmm?

The real Casanova|would never have approved.

Excuse me.|Do you have a P.D.R.?

Mm-hmm.

Nonresponsive pupils...

progressive loss of muscular|control, escalating tremors...

That's what I see.

An overdose of|Benzodiazepine would do that.

Yes, but every drug|in the Benzo family...

shows up in blood and urine.

Ah, except Sistol.

It's a Benzo cousin.

Leukemia specialists are using|it to take the edge off chemo.

- Is it an amnesiac?|- Absolutely.

We'll see what your theory|is made of by morning.

Mmm.

Who are you?

Um...

My name is Alex Cross.

I'm a policeman|from Washington, D.C.

How do you feel?

Sick.

- I'll get you a doctor.|- Wait.

Wait. I was given a drug.

I think it was|a nervous system...

Yeah. It was|something called Sistol...

but we flushed it out of you.

It's nice to have you back.

- Washington?|- Yeah. I'm, uh...

I'm down here|because of my niece.

She disappeared|about 10 days ago.

Her name is Naomi Cross.

I talked to her.

I talked to her.

Thank you.

I'll get that doctor for you.

I heard...l heard...

so many different voices...

and I tried not to cry.

No way does our boy|show his face here.

If he's not here,|he's watching. I guarantee you.

You make it sound like he ain't|cooking on the front burner.

If he's so dumb, how come|we haven't caught him yet?

Ladies and gentlemen.

Good afternoon,|ladies and gentlemen.

I'd like to introduce to you|a very brave young lady...

Dr. Kate McTiernan.

Dr. McTiernan will make|a brief statement...

and that's all.|No questions, please.

Hello, I'm Kate McTiernan.

First...I'd like|to say something to...

the families who have|a loved one missing.
