The Watcher Page #3

Does that mean

anything to you?

Add a "C-R" to it,

it spells "Crap. "

No. What do you

want me to say?

Yeah, that's true.

It spells "Crap. "

One of your waitresses saw her

here sometime last week.

Look at the picture carefully

and tell me if you remember her.

Sorry, man. I make it a point

to pay as little attention...

to the customers as possible.

- Does it seem like playtime to you?

- No.

Take a look at the f***ing picture

and tell me if you saw her.

- I never saw her.

- You sure?

- Yeah.

- That's too bad.

Thank you for coming in.

Come on, darling.

Click on your television set.

It's Thursday night, goddamn it.

"Must-see TV."

Earlier today, we told you investigators

were combing the streets of Chicago...

searching for this woman-

a woman they are...

- referring to as "Jane Doe. "

- Put up the f***in' number.

Let's go. Come on.

They are still in need

of your help.

- Come on! Don't take-

- The city council approves a new budget.

If that's all the help they're gonna

give us for this woman's life-

What was the time of death

on the other two?

- What?

- 9:
00.

It's done.

We're not gonna make it.

We're not gonna make it.

Okay. Good night, Ellie.

See you tomorrow.

That was it.

Third possible sighting

in Fox Pavilion Mall.

Grab some backup.

You wanna come with?

You know me,

your hat's on backwards.

- Talk to you later.

- Bye.

Guys, look.

She's been sighted here on

three separate occasions, okay?

Everybody we see walking around

here is a possible witness.

So, I want you to fan out. I don't know

if she works here, if she lives nearby.

Take these fliers. Get them

to everybody in the place.

- I wanna show 'em, okay?

- You guys come with me.

- Who spoke to the most recent caller?

- I did.

- You? Let's go.

- Take level three.

Can you take a look

at these pictures, please?

Speak to the gentleman back here.

Take a look at that, please. Thank you.

Take a look at that?

Thank you.

- If you see her, please give us a call.

- No, I've never seen her.

Frank? Hey, Frankie!

How was your day, hmm?

Oh, yeah? That's nice.

Mine? Not so good.

Excuse me.

- Are you the person who saw her?

- Yeah.

- Is this her? Where?

- Yeah, that's her.

I saw her down there

in the food court.

- There? Right there?

- Yeah.

- When?

- At 2:
30 this afternoon.

Excuse me.

Hollis. Hollis!

What do you got?

The photo store.

- Where? Where?

- The photo store.

Here. Right here.

This is where he shot it.

See? There's our

little bird. Hello?

- Hey! Hey!

- Sorry.

Do you know this woman?

Uh, yeah. She just started

working here. It's Ellie.

I'll need her phone number

and last name. Right now.

- Get her number now.

- Okay. I have to call my boss.

- Do it. Do it!

- Okay.

Goddamn cows.

Hello.

Mom? Calm down.

What is it?

No, I'm sure that

you're overreacting.

Gimme a break.

Why are you saying that?

Look, Mom. I very much doubt that your

pharmacist is just trying to poison you.

Can we not do this right now, Mom?

I'm in the middle of a movie.

Yeah, Mom, with a man.

Yeah, he's cute.

I- I don't know

if it's serious or not.

Look. If I tell you his name,

will you let me get off the phone?

His name is Frank.

Good-bye.

Come on. Come on.

Yes?

Uh, I need to speak

to Ellie Buckner immediately.

Oh, she can't come

to the phone right now.

No, no, please, please. Put her on the line

immediately. It's a life-or-death emergency.

Not anymore it's not.

Wasn't that fun? It hasn't

felt that good for years.

Wasn't it suspenseful?

Oh, yeah, that was a blast.

This way is much more fun.

It's amazing, isn't it?

We're all stacked

right on top of each other,

but we don't really notice

each other anymore, do we?

You notice me though,

don't you, Joel?

Yeah, I notice you.

Ellie Buckner.

Single, 24, parents live in Florida.

So far, no known boyfriend.

She has a cat named Frank.

Apparently, he doesn't watch the news.

Wonder what happened to that cat?

Pull the phone records, okay?

Diaries, journals,

letters, address book.

See if he's in contact

with these girls.

Hey, ma'am.

Can you spare some change?

Hey, guys. Hey, Dad!

Dad, don't you recognize me?

Hey, sir. Can you

spare some change?

What are you doing out here?

Spare changing, man.

What's it look like?

- Don't you have a job or anything?

- Yeah, whatever.

Look. Are you gonna give me

some money, or what?

- Only if you dance with me.

- Shut the f*** up.

- I'm serious.

- There's no music.

I'll lead, you follow.

And one, two, three.

One, two, three. One, two, three.

Damn it.

Having a tough time there,

aren't you, with that?

I need a damn garden rake

to eat this.

It's all in the tool.

I'm done with that for sure.

So, listen here.

What's the skinny on that radiant

vision of loveliness down at the feds?

What's her name?

Diana?

What I wouldn't give for 20 minutes with her

at a drive-in and a decent bowl of chili.

Damn if you haven't found the worst

restaurant in the whole city of Chicago.

A really fine restaurant.

The other night, Griffin was giving me...

a hard time about it

too on the telephone.

What's up? What's up?

What do you think the chances are

he's watching us right now?

Hey. Hey!

Get outta here.

Murder suspect heading west on Commerce,

near the intersection of Lincoln.

Blue, two-door sedan,

mid- '80s, maybe a Ford.

F***! Goddamn it!

I'm standing outside

the apartment of Ellie Buckner,

the woman who Chicago

has come to know as "Jane Doe. "

The harrowing search came to a

tragic end about 9:20 P.M.,

when police discovered Buckner's

body at her Wicker Park apartment.

It is a murder that has shocked

this quiet neighborhood.

Right-

See you later. Bye.

Excuse me.

I can't stay long.

I just wanted to come by...

and tell you how much

I appreciate...

what you...

said the other day.

How have

the headaches been?

About the same.

Are you sleeping?

Some.

How's work?

It's great. I'm building an excellent

fan base with the homicidal set.

How do you feel

about that,

about this man

following you to Chicago?

Is it a vendetta?

That's a strange question.

No, I don't think vengeance

has anything to do with it.

I think there's a story,

a ritual that he follows.

Over the years, I became

part of the story.

It probably didn't

make sense without me.

In other words,

he missed you.

Odd, isn't it?

Did you miss him?

What the hell does that mean?

Excuse me.

Sorry.

Campbell.

- We received another photo.

- I'll be right there.

Where is she sitting?

Let's get somebody

from the city up here.

See if they can tell us something

about this section of sidewalk.

Is this the "El" here,

you know? Parking meters.

Yep, I'm on it.

Mitch, let's get her picture

in tattoo parlors.

Got it.

What's your name?

Well, usually,

Mr. Abraham,

I do an introductory session,

where we both explore what

you hope to get out of therapy.

If we both feel I'm the person

to provide that for you,

then we can decide
