-Is the house locked up?

-Yes.

-Alarm system?

-It's on.

-Okay.

You're safe inside that house.

If he wanted to break in...

-...he wouldn't be calling you.

-But he must want something.

Listen to me.

Miss, he's just some a**hole

trying to hassle you.

-There's something we can do.

-What?

I can alert the phone company,

so when he calls...

... we can try and trace the call.

I can also get my commander

to authorize a GPS trace...

...if he's calling from a cell phone.

Now, I got your number here.

Can you verify the address?

I don't....

I don't know.

My dad brought me here. I....

It's-- Wait.

Here. 3378 Old Mill Road.

I know where that is.

Now, if he calls again...

...try to keep him on the line

for 60 seconds...

-...so we can trace the call.

-I can't.

He doesn't stay on the phone

for more than a few seconds.

I'll see if I can get a car out to you.

But if I do, it's gonna take at least

Think you'll be okay until then?

-Yes.

-Good.

Now, I'll be watching the phone line.

Call me if you need to.

Okay. Thank you.

Hello.

It's you, isn't it?

No, no, no. Wait, wait.

Wait, don't hang up.

If you keep on calling,

must mean you wanna talk, right?

Is it me you're calling for?

Are you calling

for the Mandrakises?

Damn it.

Guesthouse.

Hey, it's Todd. I'm not here.

I'm up at school.

And if you don't have the number,

then there's probably a reason.

Hi, it's Jill, the babysitter.

If you or Rosa are in there,

could you please pick up...

...or come up to the house?

Someone's been calling,

and I called the police.

I was wondering if you could come up

and wait here with me until they come.

Todd?

Hello?

Todd.

Hey, it's Todd. I'm not here.

I'm up at school.

And if you don't have the number,

then there's probably a reason.

It's you, isn't it?

How did you get this number?

How do you know I'm in here?

Did you see me out there?

Why are you doing this to me?

Sixty seconds. Got you.

You called the wrong phone line.

Rosa.

Rosa?

It's Jill.

Hello.

I know it's you.

I'm not gonna be here much longer.

Dr. Mandrakis and his wife

are coming home soon.

Why won't you answer me?

I know you're there.

I can-- I can hear you breathing.

Is that what you wanted?

To scare me?

Because if that's what you want,

you can stop now...

...because it really worked.

But you don't know who I am,

or where I live.

And Dr. Mandrakis is gonna

take me home...

...as soon as he gets here.

But maybe even the police

will take me home.

Please, I mean, there has to be

a reason why you keep on calling me.

I mean...

...if you're not trying to scare me,

what do you want?

Your blood...

...all over me.

Rosa?

-Stop calling me, you sick--

-Jill? Listen to me.

We traced the call.

It's coming from inside the house.

Do you hear me?

It's coming from inside the house.

You need to get out of there

right now. Jill?

Oh, my God.

Come on. Okay.

Come on. Okay.

Kids, come on.

I'm Jill, the babysitter.

Here. Stay right here.

Stay-- Stay here.

Get out.

Go out that window right there.

No.

Please, no.

Get away. Go on.

Come back!

Come back!

Kids.

It's Jill.

Where are you?

Come on. Come on.

Come on.

Please.

Come on. Oh, God.

Kids.

Come on.

There. Are you guys okay?

Kids, come on. You okay?

Come on. Gotta go.

Come on, gotta go, gotta go.

Come on.

-Jill! Jill, it's okay. You're safe!

-Stop it! No!

How you doing?

-Where is he?

-We've got him.

He's in that police car

right over there.

In ankle cuffs, handcuffs.

Enough sedatives to kill a horse.

We're gonna take him to the hospital.

We'll have four cops

guarding him around the clock.

That's not enough.

Take care, Jill.
