Raising Cain Page #3

- Can you do me a big favor?

- Yeah, of course.

My dipshit boyfriend

forgot to pick me up.

Can you drop me off at Mrs. Roberts'?

Sure, I...

I just have to pick

something up first.

Can you keep an eye on Amy for me?

- Yeah. Yeah, no problem.

- I'll be right back.

Jesus!

Come on! Be a Peeping Tom

on your own time.

We're gonna lose that kid.

- That's my wife.

- No sh*t?

I married her too soon.

She never got over him.

No question of that.

Look, Carter,

why don't you just go home?

I'll handle the baby-sitter.

I guess you're right.

I don't feel very well.

I'd better just go home and sleep.

That's right. You go sleep.

I'll take care of everything.

I'll just be you for a while, huh?

Until this whole mess is cleaned up.

Poor schmuck.

Ooh...

Oooh... yes!

Where'd you get

that neat trench coat?

I copped it.

You know, Dr. Nix, I should be

going out with older guys.

I'll tell you something.

For a man your age, you're uh...

you're still pretty cute.

It's not the mileage, honey.

It's the make.

Keep an eye on the monster.

I gotta go pee.

I'll be right back.

I know what you're going to do.

It's a bad thing, and I'm gonna tell.

Get out of here!

Sh*t.

What's the matter? Jenny?

Help! Somebody help!

Help! Carter!

Carter!

Carter! Carter!

Jenny.

Oh, Jenny.

We were all going

to the beach today to have a...

a Valentine's Day picnic.

Jenny took Amy to the park

while I packed up the Jeep.

I guess that was at about 8:00.

They were supposed to be back

at 10:
00.

My wife is never late.

I was immediately concerned.

So I... I went to the park to search

for them at about 10:30,

but they weren't there.

So I called up you fellas

and came right over here.

Dr. Nix, I'm sorry to say,

we've had a few other disappearances

from this park.

And judging from your description,

your wife and daughter

were likely candidates.

You mean... they might

have been kidnapped?

We don't know.

All we know now

is that they've disappeared.

You told us you went there

fairly regularly with your little girl.

That's right.

Did you ever notice anybody

that didn't look right,

another man or a woman

that seemed to be hanging around?

No.

Wait a minute.

There was somebody, a man.

I remember because... I noticed he

didn't seem to have a child with him.

Why would you come to a playground

without a child?

Before you run through the mugshots,

why don't you sit down

with our sketch artist?

It should be helpful to get a picture

of this guy out on the wire.

Of course.

Peters, it's Cally.

I want you to do a sketch for me.

Yeah, right away.

I'll send him over?

See that guy over there?

That's Jay Peters.

He's our sketch man.

Why don't you go over there and

see what you guys can come up with?

- All right.

- Come on.

And, uh... thanks for all your help.

Dr. Nix, Jay Peters.

How you doing?

Why don't you have a seat.

- Just do the best you can.

- You got it.

Poor guy.

- This is getting out of hand, Sean.

- Yup.

It seems like a serial to me.

A detective's dream...

the motiveless murder.

What do we got now?

Two moms, a baby-sitter,

and all their kids are gone.

- From the same playground.

- Right.

And there's Dr. Nix.

- What do you mean?

- Nix...

It's the kind of name

that sticks in your head.

- From where?

- From ancient history.

Oh, your specialty.

Let's go home, Mack.

It's time to go home.

Sean, come on.

- Go home.

- You know, I wouldn't waste your time.

When you retire, you go home.

You don't come to the office anymore.

Just go home, sit in your favorite

chair, watch the shopping channel,

go wash your car.

Take your grand kids to the zoo.

Maybe even go see a ball game.

What you don't do is hang around here

looking over our shoulders,

like some goddamn

Monday morning quarterback.

I'm just trying to help you out.

You're not helping out,

you're in the way.

Yeah? Well, maybe you can tell me

who this Dr. Nix is.

It's that guy over there

working with Peters.

Yeah. Any dope can see that.

But I worked another Nix case

20 years ago.

20 years ago.

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about that guy's old man.

- Are you sure?

- Same name, same face.

So, what did your Dr. Nix do?

We got an anonymous tip

he was buying babies.

I remember we caught him with five.

Five?

Was he starting a basketball team?

- Who knows?

- So what happened to him?

After he got convicted, he jumped bail

and left the country.

He was Swedish or something.

We couldn't extradite him.

- Great. Thanks for sharing, Mack.

- Wait a minute here.

At his trial, an associate testified

against him, a Dr. Lynn Waldheim.

Still works around here.

I just called Waldheim's office.

They tell me the doctor

checked into the hospital.

- What's the matter with him?

- It's a her. Cancer.

I told her about the kids disappearing

and one of their father's was a Dr. Nix.

She says she'll be right over.

So this is retirement?

I think I'll just have

a heart attack right here.

I could never retire, so I don't.

- You don't mind, do you, guys?

- Mack...

Consider yourself

back on my task force.

Thanks, Terri.

Hey...

Hey, Sean. Thanks.

I know what you guys

are thinking.

Like father, like son.

Slam dunk, right?

It's too easy.

Just because his father's a nut

doesn't mean Carter has to be.

I'm going with what we got.

Two mothers, a baby-sitter,

and their kids

disappear from the same playground.

As soon as Peters has finished

with that sketch, I want it over there...

shown to everybody that's been there

in the last month.

Yeah?

When?

We'll be right down.

Car popped up

out of Half Moon Marsh.

Had a woman's body in it.

They just brought it in downstairs.

- Oh, God.

- Do we bring him?

Let's see how bad she is.

- How's it going?

- He's doing very well.

It's amazing.

It looks just like him.

I think he was

wearing a trench coat.

- My God.

- Ma'am?

Let me know as soon

as you're finished. Let's go.

- Detective Terri, this is Dr. Waldheim.

- Oh, thanks for coming over.

It's uncanny.

He looks exactly like his father.

That's Carter Nix.

It couldn't be anyone else.

And his wife and child

have disappeared?

It gets worse.

We got a dead woman downstairs

that could be his wife.

So much tragedy in one family.

- Could you walk with us?

- Certainly.

This way.

- Are you feeling up to this?

- I hate this wig.

I told them to get me a gray one.

My hair is gray.

They couldn't find one.

- I look like a transvestite.

- It looks fine.

You're very kind,

but you don't lie very well.

- So, you were trained by Dr. Nix?

- I took my residency with him.

- Why him?

- Because he was the best.

I was especially interested in his work

on multiple personalities.

We'd wrote a book together

based on one of his patients.

In the book, we called him Cain.

"Three Faces Of Cain"

or something?

He had many more faces

than that, detective.

Down here.

So, what was the book called?

"Raising Cain:
The Creation and
