Raising Cain Page #4

Evolution of the Multiple Personality."

It was a bestseller.

They even made a TV movie out of it.

I heard he made quite a lot of money.

I wouldn't have any of it. I had

my name removed from the book.

Why?

I didn't want any part

of that kind of money.

What kind of money was that?

Money profited off

the misfortune of another.

But you still wrote the book.

That's right.

I didn't know all the circumstances

surrounding the case when I started.

- And what were they? This way.

- Yes. Let me explain.

All multiple personality patients,

regardless of the differences

in their background,

seem to share

certain childhood traumas.

When these occur, the original

personality splinters into others.

For instance, if a boy

is molested by his mother

or abused by his father,

the original...

Ah.

The original personality

forgets it ever happened.

How could his loving parent

do such a terrible thing?

And he creates

an alternate personality.

This becomes the person

it happened to.

He is the one who suffers the pain

for all the rest.

Hmm, built-in fall guy,

you do something bad,

the other personality takes the rap.

Sounds very convenient.

Straight ahead.

It is not a psychological state

one wishes to acquire.

Every time there is another trauma,

there may be another personality.

Pretty soon there are scores of them

running around inside your head,

squabbling amongst themselves

as to which one gets to control

the consciousness.

Only one personality can control

the consciousness at one time.

- So, now they're talking to each other.

- Sounds like one messed-up guy.

Yes, but by carefully

observing and documenting

the formation and development

of Cain's multiples,

Dr. Nix was creating a whole new

theory of personality evolvement.

Hmm.

Yeah. There was only one problem.

Only one? What was that?

- The raw data.

- Raw data.

The raw data

was extraordinarily detailed.

It was as if he'd gotten

into a time machine

and gone back to witness

each one of Cain's personalities

splitting traumas as it occurred.

I was never allowed to meet Cain.

His true identity was known

only to Dr. Nix.

All the information I had

I transcribed from tapes recorded

during their sessions.

So, how do you think

he got the information?

I never knew for sure,

but years later, when he got arrested

for trying to buy babies,

I suspected there could only

be one answer.

Yeah?

He had created Cain's multiple

personalities in order to study them.

He had taken some innocent child

and split its personality.

Now, he needed a control group

to test his theories,

that's what he was

buying the babies for.

Uh-huh.

To the right.

And you testified

against him at his trial?

Oh, a man like that

should be in jail!

- What happened to Cain?

- Only Dr. Nix knew that.

What's the story, AI?

Ah, it looks like she was put in the car

when she was still alive

and then drowned.

Look at her nails.

See how they're cut and torn?

Looks like she was trying

to claw her way out.

You should see the expression

on her face.

Excuse me, Lieutenant.

I think we got lucky.

Ladies picked out the guy

on the bench over there.

He's real close.

All right.

Excuse me, sir.

Excuse me?

I'm Lieutenant Terri, Bay View Police.

I'd like to ask you a few questions.

It's just a short ride

and a couple of questions, okay?

You'll help us out a lot.

Short ride?

I could help you out here.

Do you have a car here in the lot?

Yes, I have...

This is my car right here.

- This is your car?

- I mean, it's a rental car.

Could you give the keys

to Detective Carleton, please?

You ride with us.

I don't understand what...

Sure, the keys...

You can have the keys.

I just rented it yesterday.

I'm visiting.

Here. These are...

- What is this? What is this?

- I must have rubbed...

- Huh? This looks like blood.

- I've never seen that.

Would you open this?

Yeah, sure.

It's probably the round key.

I don't know what you expect to find.

I'm not hiding anything.

Weapons or something.

Oh, my God.

- Hello?

- Carter?

- Yes, sir?

- Turn on channel six.

There's gonna mean light rain

and then...

A Bayland Park man

was indicted this afternoon

on charges he killed

an 18-year-old baby-sitter.

- You're a good boy, Carter.

- Thank you, sir.

Now, meet me at the hotel

at 4:
00 a.m. downstairs.

Yes, sir, I'll be there.

The children must be moved tonight.

Good-bye now.

Bye-bye, Bamse.

The charges against Jack Dante, 35,

include first-degree murder

and kidnapping.

He is also being questioned about

the disappearance of Sam Bowman,

age four, of Bayview.

The body of his mother

Karen Bowman

was recovered early this morning

by police

from the trunk of her car

in Half Moon Marsh.

Wake up!

- Don't move or I'll cut it.

- Jenny, what are you doing?

I'm bleeding.

Oh, my God, I'm bleeding!

And I can help you.

Don't let me die, Jenny!

I wanna know

what you've clone with Amy!

- Amy? What are you saying?

- I want answers, Carter!

- How could you let me drown like that?

- What's happened?

Was it because of Jack? You saw us

in the park together, didn't you?

And you got him arrested

for what you did.

- Help me, Jenny!

- Then, tell me where Amy is!

But I don't know where she is!

What are you saying?

She wants to know where her brat is.

Why don't you tell her

before you get your throat cut.

- But I don't know where she is.

- "I don't know where she is. "

- I don't!

- Who are you talking to?

- I do. I took her to dear old Dad.

- Where? Where is he?

Who are you talking to?

Where's Amy?

Where have you taken her?

Taken her? Taken her where?

She's... she's...

She's... with my father.

Your father? What are you saying?

Your father is dead!

No, no. He's not dead. He's here.

Amy's with him. She's fine.

Tell her, Cain.

- Tell her! She's fine.

- Dr. O'Keefe?

Why won't you tell her?

Come on, tell her!

Lieutenant Terri,

Bay View Police!

- Carter, get up. Carter, get up.

- Dr. O'Keefe?

- Tell her, Cain! Tell her!

- You all right?

Tell her Amy's fine!

Why won't you tell her?

Dr. O'Keefe?

- You've got to tell her. Tell her.

- Get up.

Dr. O'Keefe?

According to Norwegian authorities,

Dr. Nix took a swan dive

into a fjord 18 years ago.

There was a suicide note,

but they never recovered the body.

Great. Carter says

they're with his father.

His father's been dead for 18 years.

This gets better all the time.

Let's hope Waldheim can get

something out of this psycho.

Excuse me,

here's your coffee, Dr. Waldheim.

When I got myself out of the car,

I could only think of one thing.

If he was crazy enough to kill me,

what was he gonna do to Amy?

So then I went home...

but she wasn't there.

That's when I called you.

And then Carter came home.

I just wanted him to tell me

where Amy was.

Oh...

Well, let's hope he's not too nuts.

What do you mean?

Too nuts to go to jail.

You mean he might not go to jail?

First, we've got to find out
