00:06:02We need to practice your modeling.
00:06:27Steven?
00:06:28Yeah.
00:06:30David Summers.
00:06:32How you doing?
00:06:33Fine. I was expecting you.
00:06:35Oh, it's an honor to be working with you, sir.
00:06:37You are a legend.
00:06:39Huh.
00:06:40Well, sure.
00:06:44What have you got there?
00:06:46Oh, it's just a computer.
00:06:49Just a computer?
00:06:51At home, I've got...
00:06:52The meeting is set up for Friday night at 7.30.
00:06:54Oh.
00:06:55Just a computer.
00:06:57At home, I've got...
00:06:58The meeting is set up for Friday night at 7.30
00:07:00at the Ridge Boulevard Mall.
00:07:02Right, right.
00:07:03The, uh, Westgate Town Center, right?
00:07:05At the coffee shop.
00:07:06Right this town.
00:07:077.30.
00:07:08Westgate Town Center?
00:07:09Yeah.
00:07:10Friday.
00:07:11So, how will we know who he is?
00:07:13He'll be wearing a T-shirt with a Mackinac bridge on it.
00:07:18And we just walk up to him and arrest him?
00:07:21Yeah.
00:07:22Right. You've done this before.
00:07:24How many times?
00:07:26A few.
00:07:28I cannot wait.
00:07:29Of all the lowlifes on the planet,
00:07:31these child molesters are the scum of the scum.
00:07:35It must make you feel really good to lock these sick freaks up.
00:07:40None of this makes me feel good.
00:07:45Right.
00:07:46Of course.
00:07:48Look, I've been chatting with this guy for a few months.
00:07:51And he's very, very cautious.
00:07:53So I want to make this very precise and do it right.
00:07:57Okay?
00:07:58Yeah.
00:07:59Yeah, we'll get him.
00:08:01Okay.
00:08:03It was great meeting you, Steven.
00:08:05Talk to you later, then?
00:08:07Nice meeting you.
00:08:08Nice meeting you.
00:08:13Hey, what are you doing for dinner tonight?
00:08:16I don't know.
00:08:17I'll call my wife.
00:08:18I'll have her set up another place.
00:08:20There's no need for that.
00:08:22I insist.
00:08:23We're going to be working together and all.
00:08:25Okay.
00:08:26Great.
00:08:28Swing by, say, 6.30?
00:08:30Sure.
00:08:31I'll see you at 6.30, then.
00:08:50Okay.
00:09:20Okay.
00:09:50Okay.
00:10:20Okay.
00:10:50Okay.
00:11:09You could knock.
00:11:10Who are you online with?
00:11:11A girl.
00:11:12How do you know?
00:11:13I know.
00:11:14I can tell.
00:11:15How?
00:11:16How can you tell?
00:11:17Her name is Heaven Sent.
00:11:18No boy would use a name like that.
00:11:19A pervert would.
00:11:21Here we go with the perverts again.
00:11:23Look, they're out there.
00:11:24Believe me.
00:11:25I've seen them.
00:11:26I've met them.
00:11:27I know them.
00:11:28Just because you're a cop, you think the whole world is like the cred you deal with.
00:11:32It's not.
00:11:33There are nice people.
00:11:35The whole world is not perverted.
00:11:39Yo, Mom.
00:11:40Dad's freaking out again.
00:11:43Ashley?
00:11:45What's the matter, honey?
00:11:47Ashley?
00:11:49Ashley?
00:12:19How you doing?
00:12:20Good.
00:12:21You ready?
00:12:22Not just yet.
00:12:23I hope you're hungry.
00:12:24My wife's a gourmet cook.
00:12:29Wow.
00:12:30That's your daughter?
00:12:31Yeah.
00:12:34She is beautiful.
00:12:35Thanks.
00:12:37Michelle and I were planning on having a family.
00:12:44No ESPN, huh?
00:12:46No.
00:12:47I was resting on the couch, waiting for you.
00:12:49Waiting?
00:12:50Sorry, was I late?
00:12:51No.
00:12:52No, I don't keep very normal hours, so I rest whenever I can.
00:12:56Right.
00:12:57You're probably online all night with that thing, trying to find those sick freaks, huh?
00:13:00Pretty much.
00:13:02You take that everywhere with you?
00:13:05This goes wherever I go.
00:13:07Yeah?
00:13:08Does it get wet in the shower?
00:13:10Does it get wet in the shower?
00:13:23Michelle?
00:13:25We're home.
00:13:27She must be in the kitchen.
00:13:29Michelle?
00:13:30I'm in here.
00:13:33I'm in here.
00:13:34Oh, hey honey.
00:13:35Hi.
00:13:38Hey, this is Steven.
00:13:40Hello.
00:13:42Hi.
00:13:44David told me what you do, and I think it's incredible.
00:13:47Thanks.
00:13:48It's necessary.
00:13:50Can I take your laptop?
00:13:54Oh, it's okay.
00:13:55It's okay, honey.
00:13:56He sleeps with the thing.
00:13:58No, he does.
00:13:59He takes it everywhere.
00:14:00Speaking of which, you want to see what I've got?
00:14:02No, David.
00:14:03Not now.
00:14:04It's time to eat.
00:14:05Listen, whatever you do, don't get him started on computer stuff.
00:14:08It will bore you to tears with geek talk.
00:14:10Okay.
00:14:11Honey, it's not that bad.
00:14:13By the way, what's for dinner?
00:14:14Well, you didn't give me much warning.
00:14:18Steven, would you care for another slice?
00:14:20No, thank you.
00:14:21I'm not good with this one.
00:14:23No, I was noticing your dining room furniture.
00:14:25It's really, really lovely.
00:14:26Oh, thank you.
00:14:27It's really old.
00:14:28It was grandmother's, and it was passed down to her.
00:14:31My dad restored it.
00:14:33He did a great job.
00:14:34Thanks.
00:14:35He really did.
00:14:36We don't spend much time here, though.
00:14:38We usually eat in the kitchen.
00:14:39The kitchen would have been fine.
00:14:41No, no.
00:14:42We don't get to entertain much.
00:14:44Not much chance to bring out the good stuff.
00:14:47Even if it is just pizza.
00:14:49Oh, I'm sure Steven's used to fast food.
00:14:51He has a lovely young daughter himself.
00:14:54Oh, David never told me you had a daughter.
00:14:57That's wonderful.
00:15:00You divorced?
00:15:02Oh.
00:15:03I noticed that you weren't wearing a wedding ring.
00:15:08Right.
00:15:10Do you get to see your daughter much?
00:15:13No, I don't.
00:15:17Why not?
00:15:20She's dead.
00:15:22Oh, I'm sorry.
00:15:23I'm sorry.
00:15:24That's terrible.
00:15:28It was four years ago.
00:15:29She was 14 when she died.
00:15:33Oh.
00:15:38Well, I'll tell you what.
00:15:39Why don't I go show you what Mishy's been warning you about?
00:15:43Okay.
00:15:50I tell you, when I fire this thing up,
00:15:53half the lights in the city go dim.
00:15:59I even have wireless access throughout the house,
00:16:01including a wireless webcam.
00:16:02I have some fun with that.
00:16:04Pull up a chair.
00:16:05Sit down.
00:16:08I pulled the video of our last vacation down in Cabo.
00:16:10You ever been down there?
00:16:11No.
00:16:12Oh, it's great.
00:16:14The snorkeling down there is unbelievable.
00:16:16I tell you, I was swimming so close
00:16:18to the barracuda and sharks,
00:16:20I probably could have reached out
00:16:21and brushed their teeth if I wanted to.
00:16:24Oh, here she is.
00:16:26David!
00:16:27I don't have my top on!
00:16:28Great!
00:16:29No, it's not great!
00:16:30What?
00:16:31It's what I've been waiting for.
00:16:32David, will you put that thing away?
00:16:34Come on, honey.
00:16:35Oh, God.
00:16:36You know, she's great,
00:16:37but she always complains when I'm taking her picture.
00:16:40But yet, she turns around
00:16:41and she's the first person to ask me to see her.
00:16:43Go figure, women.
00:16:44The Cabo movie?
00:16:45No.
00:16:46Yeah.
00:16:47David.
00:16:48Oh, Mishy, nothing showed.
00:16:49You were on your stomach.
00:16:51However, I gotta tell you,
00:16:52most of the women down there,
00:16:53they weren't so modest.
00:16:55Everywhere I looked,
00:16:56some of the most beautiful pits I've ever seen,
00:16:58including hers.
00:17:00I tell you,
00:17:01it wasn't until the last day of vacation
00:17:02before I get her to take her top off.
00:17:04She's so shy.
00:17:05You know, you're not showing that one.
00:17:07No, no, no, no.
00:17:08That one's in our private collection, isn't it?
00:17:28Pervert.
00:17:54Who is?
00:17:55My dad is such a perv.
00:17:58A cop?
00:17:59And he's perverted?
00:18:01No.
00:18:02He's not a perv.
00:18:03He just thinks the rest of the world is.
00:18:06Ah.
00:18:07He's too old, that's why.
00:18:10You can see things he can't.
00:18:12Yeah.
00:18:14I mean, if you believe there's nothing but hate
00:18:16and perversion in the world,
00:18:17then what's the point?
00:18:19You are wise beyond your years.
00:18:22By the way, what are your years?
00:18:24Don't laugh.
00:18:25I would never laugh at you.
00:18:26Fourteen.
00:18:28A child prodigy.
00:18:30Hardly.
00:18:31I'm barely passing.
00:18:33True geniuses never do well in school.
00:18:35Too structured for their turbulent minds.
00:18:38You're the first person to ever call me intelligent.
00:18:42You are fascinating.
00:18:44I'd love to talk with you sometime.
00:18:46We are talking.
00:18:48No, we're not.
00:18:49We're sending messages to each other.
00:18:50I mean, really talk, face to face.
00:18:53I can't do that.
00:18:54Dad would freak out.
00:18:55If he knew I was doing this.
00:18:57He doesn't have to know.
00:18:59You're fourteen.
00:19:01Almost an adult.
00:19:03It's time you started living your own life
00:19:05instead of worrying so much about your daddy.
00:19:07He still sees you as a baby.
00:19:09He doesn't realize you can think for yourself now.
00:19:11You know he doesn't even knock when he comes in my room?
00:19:14I'm fourteen.
00:19:15He should knock.
00:19:17Absolutely.
00:19:19So?
00:19:20So what?
00:19:21Let's meet and talk.
00:19:23Just talk?
00:19:25Nothing else?
00:19:27Just talk.
00:19:29Promise?
00:19:30Promise.
00:19:31Let me think about it, okay?
00:19:34I like the idea of you thinking about me.
00:19:37I think about you a lot.
00:19:39And I you, Ashley.
00:19:41I you.
00:19:47Want me to catch you asleep?
00:19:49No, I'm just resting.
00:19:50Give me a second.
00:19:51You weren't kidding everywhere you go, huh?
00:19:54One of these days I don't have to swipe that computer for you
00:19:56to see what's on it.
00:20:00Then I'd have to kill you.
00:20:02That's not funny.
00:20:03None of this is funny.
00:20:18You know, I just don't get it.
00:20:19What's that?
00:20:20He's going to be looking for a young girl.
00:20:23No, he's going to be looking for anything out of the ordinary.
00:20:25Remember that.
00:20:28Hey, by the way, what does eighteen stand for?
00:20:32I don't know.
00:20:33I asked him that one time.
00:20:34He just laughed at me.
00:20:35Laughed?
00:20:36Yeah.
00:20:37How do you, how do you laugh on a computer?
00:20:40You haven't spent much time in chat rooms, have you?
00:20:43No, not at all.
00:20:44You've seen what I got.
00:20:46I just like to edit my comments.
00:20:47That's all I got.
00:20:49I just like to edit my movies and photos and stuff.
00:20:51I mean, yeah, sure, I surf some, but definitely not the chat rooms.
00:20:58Does anybody work here?
00:20:59I don't know.
00:21:02By the way, I'm still curious.
00:21:03How do you laugh on a computer?
00:21:07Emoticons or initials or you just, you know, type out laughter.
00:21:10It's pretty simple.
00:21:11That sounds boring.
00:21:13I mean, not what you do, of course,
00:21:15but what do other people do?
00:21:17Typing messages back and forth like that?
00:21:19Well, most of the things obsessive people do seem boring
00:21:22to anybody who's not obsessed with the same things.
00:21:25That's a good point.
00:21:28You know, when I was a kid, I had this, I had this little friend
00:21:32who was absolutely in love with this rock singer from the 80s.
00:21:36Annie Lennox, ever heard of her?
00:21:37Yeah.
00:21:39He collected everything that she had.
00:21:42I mean, he had every recording she ever did,
00:21:44every magazine she was ever in.
00:21:46He even had every video that she was in.
00:21:49God, tall, beautiful, blonde.
00:21:51She was, she had such an extreme presence.
00:21:54Did she?
00:21:56So you over her yet or what?
00:22:00Yeah.
00:22:01That's good.
00:22:03Hi.
00:22:04Can I take your order?
00:22:05Yes, you can.
00:22:06Can I have a hamburger with no mayonnaise, no ketchup and no cheese
00:22:09and will you put mustard, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes and onions on that?
00:22:11Sure.
00:22:12Would you like fries?
00:22:13Yeah.
00:22:28You know, it's 8.15 already.
00:22:32I know that.
00:22:34That's a job, get used to it.
00:22:35Computers.
00:22:36The internet.
00:22:38It's all kind of a mixed blessing, don't you think?
00:22:40What do you mean?
00:22:41I mean, computers.
00:22:43They're a great tool and,
00:22:45and they've probably changed the world more than anything
00:22:47since it sounded like printing press, but
00:22:52the internet.
00:22:53Just like an open window.
00:22:55Just lousy, sick freaks are walking through it.
00:22:58I mean,
00:23:00I mean,
00:23:01just like an open window.
00:23:03Just lousy, sick freaks are walking right into our homes.
00:23:08Those sick freaks, as you like to call them, have always been here.
00:23:12Yeah, but the internet just allows...
00:23:14The internet has nothing to do with it.
00:23:17Come on, Steven.
00:23:19How can you seriously say that?
00:23:25What?
00:23:26You really want to know who's to blame?
00:23:28Who?
00:23:31The parents.
00:23:33Parents?
00:23:34Yeah, the mothers
00:23:37and the fathers.
00:23:39Because they're too busy with their own selfish lives
00:23:42to spend enough time with their own flesh and blood.
00:23:44That's why.
00:23:47Yeah, and the internet just allows...
00:23:49The internet has nothing to do with it.
00:23:52There's always been child molesters.
00:23:54There's always been somebody trying to trick some kid into a car with a sack of candy.
00:23:58Children need love and attention.
00:24:01And if they don't get that love and attention at home,
00:24:05they'll do everything they possibly can to get it someplace else.
00:24:09I agree.
00:24:11But today?
00:24:13I think it's so much worse today.
00:24:15Forget about the damn internet.
00:24:17Look around.
00:24:18It's just the latest in the long, long, long line of scapegoats.
00:24:22The super dads and the super moms
00:24:24stop trying to worry about how to balance children and career.
00:24:31And they just start spending a little bit more time with their families.
00:24:36They'll shut the pedophiles down cold.
00:24:45They'll put me out of a job.
00:24:52It's 8.30, right?
00:24:55I think we got stood up.
00:24:58Do you want to...
00:24:59Do you want to call it a night?
00:25:03Yeah, let's get the hell out of here.
00:25:13What happened?
00:25:15Something came up.
00:25:17And I thought you were different.
00:25:19I'm sorry.
00:25:21Did you dress like you said you would?
00:25:23Yes, and it wasn't easy.
00:25:26Why is that?
00:25:27I told you, my parents won't let me walk out of our apartment dressed like that.
00:25:31I had to sneak the clothes out and change by the pool.
00:25:34You undressed outside?
00:25:36By the pool?
00:25:38It's not filled yet.
00:25:40But someone might have been watching.
00:25:42I'm not much to look at.
00:25:45I disagree.
00:25:47I'm dying to watch you undress.
00:25:50So why didn't you show?
00:25:53Unforeseen problems.
00:25:55Can we try again?
00:25:57I don't know.
00:25:59It's not easy for me.
00:26:01We'll try again.
00:26:03Same time tomorrow.
00:26:06For real?
00:26:08You're not just playing games with me?
00:26:10For real, my lady.
00:26:14Do you know what I have in my hands right now?
00:26:16My thong panties?
00:26:19Yes.
00:26:21Ooh, describe them to me.
00:26:24The pair I'm holding is black.
00:26:27The smallest size I could find.
00:26:30I'm sure they will fit you.
00:26:33The strap in back will fit snugly in the tight little crack of your sweet little butt.
00:26:39Can I keep them?
00:26:41Yes.
00:26:43If you promise to model them for me.
00:26:45Okay.
00:26:47What are you wearing now?
00:26:49That pink t-shirt with the stripes.
00:26:53The one that rides way up above your belly button?
00:26:57Yes.
00:26:59What else are you wearing?
00:27:01My denim shorts that are frayed at the bottom.
00:27:04Oh, I love those.
00:27:13Ashley?
00:27:16Ashley!
00:27:18You scared me.
00:27:20Are you?
00:27:21Yes.
00:27:22Ah, you wore the pink shirt with the stripes just like you said you would.
00:27:24You're old.
00:27:27Well, age is relative.
00:27:29There are 20-year-olds who are physical wrecks.
00:27:31There are 60-year-olds who can jog five miles a day.
00:27:34So how old are you?
00:27:36I'm between 20 and 60.
00:27:37What are you listening to?
00:27:39The Flaming Lips.
00:27:41Hey, cool group. I like them too.
00:27:43You listen to them?
00:27:44Sure.
00:27:46This is the first time I've ever been here.
00:27:48To the park?
00:27:50No, to the city.
00:27:52I came a long way to meet you.
00:27:54Really?
00:27:56How far?
00:27:58Michigan.
00:28:00That is a long way, isn't it?
00:28:02Well, it was worth it to get to meet you.
00:28:05Are you hungry?
00:28:07I'm always hungry.
00:28:09Good. Let's go to that mall you're always talking about.
00:28:16I don't know.
00:28:18It'll give us plenty of time to talk.
00:28:20We'll have all afternoon to talk.
00:28:21How have things been going with your dad?
00:28:24He's impossible.
00:28:26Now he's threatening to take my computer away.
00:28:29That would be terrible.
00:28:31Would you like me to take you someplace else?
00:28:34To a real restaurant?
00:28:36I'm not supposed to leave the mall.
00:28:38Well, I thought that was the whole point.
00:28:40To do something you're not supposed to do.
00:28:45You have your own car?
00:28:46Of course.
00:28:47For real?
00:28:48It's parked right over there.
00:28:49Over there?
00:29:19Oh, my God.
00:29:49Let me guess.
00:29:51You're arresting a guy.
00:29:56Were you a guest last night?
00:30:01Guess it's none of my business.
00:30:03You guessed right.
00:30:07Hey, were you online with them all?
00:30:09No. Someone else earlier.
00:30:11Oh, yeah?
00:30:12Another child molester?
00:30:15They're probs.
00:30:16The clothes, I mean...
00:30:19I'm supposed to be a teenage girl.
00:30:21They help me to concentrate.
00:30:23These are the kind of clothes
00:30:24that I'm supposed to be wearing.
00:30:26No, don't touch them!
00:30:31I'm sorry.
00:30:34They're, uh...
00:30:37They're very personal to me
00:30:38and I don't like other people touching them.
00:30:42I need them, you know?
00:30:43I need them, you see.
00:30:45They help me make everything
00:30:46as real as I can.
00:30:49Okay?
00:30:51Yeah, sure.
00:30:56Okay.
00:30:59Look, it's getting late.
00:31:01I think we better get going.
00:31:06You think he's gonna show this time?
00:31:08Yes.
00:31:10I sure hope so.
00:31:30I don't know, Steven.
00:31:32It's 8.15.
00:31:34I haven't spent this much time
00:31:35in a mall since I was a teenager.
00:31:37What do you think?
00:31:38Another 15 minutes.
00:31:40I'm gonna hit the head, alright?
00:31:42Alright.
00:31:43Do you want anything?
00:31:44No.
00:31:50What the hell happened?
00:31:51You've been shot.
00:32:02It's paint.
00:32:03I'm gonna hit it with a goddamn paintball.
00:32:08I guess that means we've been spotted.
00:32:15Damn it.
00:32:30So I don't think we'll be hearing from him again.
00:32:33We'll hear from him.
00:32:34He'll want to gloat.
00:32:35Yeah, he probably will.
00:32:37God, he was just too sharp.
00:32:39Yeah, well, most of these people aren't.
00:32:41Most of them are pretty stupid.
00:32:43They think they're just dealing
00:32:44with a bunch of innocent kids.
00:32:46What they don't realize
00:32:47is that there are people
00:32:48who are after them,
00:32:49who won't stop until they get them
00:32:50no matter what it takes.
00:32:53So what do we do now?
00:32:56Well, I'm gonna go to bed.
00:32:57I'll fill out a report in the morning.
00:32:59In the meantime,
00:33:00you need to work on your surveillance skills.
00:33:02Are you trying to say
00:33:03it was my fault we were ID'd?
00:33:05No.
00:33:07That's what you're gonna put
00:33:08in your report, isn't it?
00:33:09That I blew our cover?
00:33:10No, David, I'm not gonna put
00:33:11that in my report.
00:33:13You know, maybe you tried
00:33:14to bring him in too soon.
00:33:18I'm gonna go to bed.
00:33:20I'm gonna go to bed.
00:33:22I'm gonna go to bed.
00:33:24I'm gonna go to bed.
00:33:25I'm gonna go to bed.
00:33:41Maybe I did.
00:33:55I'm gonna go to bed.
00:34:25I'm gonna go to bed.
00:34:55I'm gonna go to bed.
00:35:22I can't stay long.
00:35:24I need to get back to the mall.
00:35:27We'll keep the curtains open.
00:35:28How's that?
00:35:29Does that make you feel better?
00:35:32I just hate for today to end.
00:35:34So do I.
00:35:36Thank you for taking me
00:35:37to the game room.
00:35:38That was big fun.
00:35:40I enjoy watching you
00:35:41enjoy yourself.
00:35:42Yeah, that really sucks.
00:35:44Your ex-wife won't let you
00:35:45see your own daughter.
00:35:47My ex-wife is a terrible person.
00:35:51Can I take a picture of you?
00:35:52To remember you by?
00:35:53To remember this day?
00:35:54No.
00:35:55I look really shitty in pictures.
00:35:57Please?
00:36:02Okay.
00:36:04But I have to clean up first.
00:36:05I need to use the bathroom anyway.
00:36:20Steven?
00:36:22Yes, Michelle?
00:36:24You have to come to our house.
00:36:25Why?
00:36:26I just got a phone call
00:36:27from someone named Kamal.
00:36:31Where's David?
00:36:33Kamal has him.
00:36:34He says you have to come over here.
00:36:37All right, I'm on my way.
00:36:39Wait, don't call Freddie back up.
00:36:41He's threatened to kill David
00:36:42if we do.
00:36:44All right, Michelle, I won't.
00:36:52Hi.
00:36:57It's Things I Need.
00:36:58What's happening?
00:36:59Who's this guy, Kamal?
00:37:01Is he the guy you were
00:37:02supposed to arrest tonight?
00:37:04Yes.
00:37:05He said if I want to see
00:37:06my husband again,
00:37:07I need to do exactly as he says.
00:37:09Which was what?
00:37:10Go online and go to this website
00:37:12and then to Karl's website.
00:37:14He said you have to do
00:37:15exactly as he says.
00:37:17Which was what?
00:37:18Go online and go to this website
00:37:20and then to Karl's website.
00:37:22He'll call you and tell you
00:37:23to come over here
00:37:24and not to call the police.
00:37:26All right, which website?
00:37:27See for yourself.
00:37:33Who is Lady Ashley?
00:37:34Me.
00:37:35Let's hope this
00:37:37access he was bragging about
00:37:38really works.
00:37:40You know, he knew our phone number.
00:37:41He knew my name.
00:37:42He called me Michelle.
00:37:44Yes, okay, it works.
00:37:47Is this all there is
00:37:48to this website, this sign?
00:37:50I don't know.
00:37:51I don't spend as much time
00:37:52on the internet as David does.
00:37:54What happened tonight?
00:37:55A mall ID'd us.
00:37:57We were back at my place at nine
00:37:59and David left angry.
00:38:02What does David do
00:38:03when he gets angry?
00:38:04He goes to bars and drinks
00:38:05most of the time.
00:38:07A mall must have followed us
00:38:08from the mall to my place
00:38:09and then followed David
00:38:10to the bar
00:38:11and then waited for him
00:38:12to have a few drinks.
00:38:14Maybe more than a few.
00:38:16And then kidnapped him.
00:38:19What was David mad about?
00:38:20He thought I blamed him.
00:38:21For what?
00:38:23I'm not making the arrest.
00:38:25Do you blame him?
00:38:26No, no.
00:38:27I need to concentrate.
00:38:31Do you have David?
00:38:35I asked to speak
00:38:36with Lady Ashley.
00:38:38It's me.
00:38:40If I don't get to speak
00:38:41with Lady Ashley,
00:38:42David is in serious trouble.
00:38:45What's he talking about?
00:38:46You said you were Lady Ashley.
00:38:48I am.
00:38:49But I need a few minutes.
00:38:53That's all right.
00:38:54Anticipation is half the fun.
00:38:56What's the matter?
00:38:57What do you need more time for?
00:38:58To get into character.
00:39:03Who's that?
00:39:04Ashley.
00:39:05Who's she?
00:39:06My daughter.
00:39:07Your dead daughter?
00:39:09You use your dead daughter?
00:39:13What are you doing?
00:39:14Props.
00:39:15I need props.
00:39:16They help me stay in character.
00:39:17Now please be quiet.
00:39:18I need to concentrate.
00:39:20Just one more thing.
00:39:22These clothes?
00:39:23Yes.
00:39:24They are Ashley's clothes.
00:39:26She doesn't need them anymore.
00:39:27She's dead.
00:39:29Michelle,
00:39:30I'm trying to save
00:39:31your husband's life.
00:39:32In order to do that,
00:39:33I've got to start thinking
00:39:34like a 14-year-old girl.
00:39:35I've got to concentrate.
00:39:36So I very much need
00:39:37for you to be quiet.
00:39:40Of course.
00:39:43Can I do anything?
00:39:44Can I get you a beer?
00:39:45A 14-year-old girl
00:39:46doesn't drink beer.
00:39:47At least Ashley
00:39:48didn't that I knew of.
00:39:51All I need from you
00:39:52is silence.
00:39:58My dad's good.
00:40:00If anybody can save your husband,
00:40:02my daddy can.
00:40:08I'm here, Hamal,
00:40:10but I'm not wearing
00:40:11your favorite outfit.
00:40:13Why not?
00:40:14I'm mad at you.
00:40:16What have you done
00:40:17to the policeman?
00:40:18Nothing so bad.
00:40:20Yet.
00:40:22You shot him
00:40:23with a paintball.
00:40:25That was so tight.
00:40:27He thought he was dead.
00:40:29You're laughing?
00:40:32Does he still have
00:40:33the red goo all over him?
00:40:35See for yourself.
00:40:37That's not blood.
00:40:38That's paint.
00:40:39He was hit with a paintball.
00:40:40What?
00:40:41I mean, how?
00:40:42A webcam.
00:40:43Like that one.
00:40:44So what we're seeing
00:40:45is exactly like
00:40:46David looked
00:40:47just a few seconds ago.
00:40:48He's still alive.
00:40:49Come on, Michelle,
00:40:50don't crash on me now.
00:40:51David needs you.
00:40:52I need you.
00:40:56Yes.
00:40:57That is so cool.
00:40:58A webcam, right?
00:41:00Can you see him clearly?
00:41:02Yeah.
00:41:03I see it.
00:41:04David tells me
00:41:05you have one too.
00:41:06On the wall.
00:41:07Above the monitor.
00:41:09I want you to turn it on.
00:41:11I don't know how.
00:41:13Is Michelle there?
00:41:14Does she know how?
00:41:16No.
00:41:17No, she's not there.
00:41:18Or no, she doesn't know how.
00:41:20Don't get crabby.
00:41:21No, she doesn't know how.
00:41:23I'll ask David.
00:41:25He lives here.
00:41:26What?
00:41:27Hamal.
00:41:28He lives here in this city.
00:41:29How do you know?
00:41:30There's no way
00:41:31he could set all this up
00:41:32in a hotel room.
00:41:33It'd be like David
00:41:34doing the same thing
00:41:35with everything in here.
00:41:36So?
00:41:37So on the internet,
00:41:38it doesn't matter
00:41:39if you live next door or in China.
00:41:40But Hamal lives here
00:41:41in this city.
00:41:42We might have a chance
00:41:43to find him.
00:41:44My lady.
00:41:45Hamal.
00:41:46Where are you?
00:41:47I'm here, my lady.
00:41:49I was afraid
00:41:50you'd crashed.
00:41:51No.
00:41:53There's just a lot
00:41:54going on right now.
00:41:56His hand.
00:41:57His right hand.
00:42:00What did you do to David?
00:42:01I wish he was
00:42:02more cooperative.
00:42:04Did you hurt him?
00:42:06I hate cigarettes.
00:42:08They're so nasty.
00:42:10He burned David
00:42:11with a cigarette.
00:42:15Now Michelle's upset.
00:42:16Way to go, Hamal.
00:42:18I just burned him once.
00:42:20When I took his gag out
00:42:22to ask him about his webcam,
00:42:23he started cursing.
00:42:26I'm going to check
00:42:27on Michelle back in a sec.
00:42:31My lady.
00:42:34My lady, where are you?
00:42:37What are you doing?
00:42:41Michelle.
00:42:43He burned him
00:42:44with a cigarette.
00:42:47At least we know
00:42:48he's still alive.
00:42:50What are we going to do?
00:42:52Whatever it takes,
00:42:53I promise you.
00:42:55I need a beer.
00:43:02I'm sorry.
00:43:04I'm sorry.
00:43:06I'm sorry.
00:43:08I'm sorry.
00:43:09I'm sorry.
00:43:15There's something
00:43:16I need to explain to you.
00:43:17You don't need
00:43:18to explain anything.
00:43:19Yes, I do.
00:43:22I don't like the way
00:43:23you look at me.
00:43:27Like that.
00:43:33Ashley was
00:43:35was 14
00:43:36when she was raped
00:43:38and murdered
00:43:40brutally murdered
00:43:41by, uh
00:43:43by someone she met online.
00:43:52I wasn't ready.
00:43:54Good.
00:43:55I hate paused photos.
00:43:59Why did you close everything?
00:44:03It was too bright in here
00:44:04for pictures.
00:44:07I liked it better open.
00:44:09Now stop.
00:44:11I've got some presents
00:44:12for you.
00:44:14Go see.
00:44:34What is all this?
00:44:35Toys
00:44:36for us to play with.
00:44:38No.
00:44:40Take me back to the mall.
00:44:42Oh,
00:44:43you played your games
00:44:45in the game room.
00:44:46Now it's time to play my games.
00:44:49I'll scream.

00:46:13to take.
00:46:14Now, I want you to strip
00:46:15but I want you to do it slowly
00:46:16because I want to take
00:46:17a lot of pictures.
00:46:18Just pictures.
00:46:20You're only going
00:46:21to take pictures.
00:46:22No, Ashley.
00:46:24You've seen the toys.
00:46:26We're going to do a lot more
00:46:27than just take pictures.
00:46:29No.
00:46:30No.
00:46:32Slowly.
00:46:34Do it, Ashley.
00:46:36Do it.
00:46:41Oh,
00:46:42sorry.
00:46:55Good.
00:46:56Take the shirt off.
00:46:58Yes.
00:47:00Please.
00:47:02Do it.
00:47:08Beautiful.
00:47:10Beautiful.
00:47:16Now,
00:47:17take your bra off.
00:47:18Ashley, look at me.
00:47:20Ashley, look at me.
00:47:22Look at me.
00:47:24Ashley.
00:47:25Ashley.
00:47:28Ashley, take the bra off.
00:47:29No.
00:47:30Do it.
00:47:41It's beautiful.
00:47:46Beautiful.
00:47:47Beautiful.
00:47:55He was never caught.
00:47:57I've been searching
00:47:58the places online
00:47:59that he's likely to hang out.
00:48:00Pedophile news groups,
00:48:02chat rooms.
00:48:04I caught a few
00:48:05child molesters over the years
00:48:06but never him.
00:48:08You've been impersonating
00:48:09your own daughter?
00:48:10I have to impersonate
00:48:11a teenage girl
00:48:12to catch these people.
00:48:14And it has to be real.
00:48:15They know the difference.
00:48:17What other teenage girl
00:48:18do I know better
00:48:19than my own daughter?
00:48:20I imitate her slang,
00:48:21her favorite expressions.
00:48:24There was something
00:48:25about her chat room entries
00:48:26that attracted
00:48:27her killer in the first place.
00:48:29If I could just
00:48:31duplicate that,
00:48:32maybe he'll be attracted again.
00:48:39Ashley's my partner.
00:48:42She helps me.
00:48:44Sometimes it's like
00:48:45she's sitting there beside me.
00:48:47And sometimes it's like
00:48:48she's possessing me.
00:48:51And even if we never
00:48:52catch her killer,
00:48:53we are catching
00:48:54others before
00:48:55they can rape and kill.
00:48:57We are avenging her death.
00:49:17I'm back.
00:49:19Don't take off
00:49:20like that again.
00:49:22I told you,
00:49:23Michelle was upset.
00:49:24I had to calm her down.
00:49:26She'll be a lot more upset
00:49:27if you pull that stunt again.
00:49:30Tell her to check her email.
00:49:32Get by Agra online,
00:49:34low mortgage rates,
00:49:36guaranteed credit cards,
00:49:37penis enlargement.
00:49:39Oh, here it is.
00:49:40I'm all 18.
00:49:42It says, Michelle,
00:49:43I've sent you
00:49:44a short little film.
00:49:45Open the attached file
00:49:47and enjoy.
00:49:48Double click
00:49:49on the attachment.
00:49:53I'm holding that cleaver
00:49:54in my hand right now.
00:49:56Tell her it cuts
00:49:57through fingers
00:49:58as easily as it cuts
00:49:59through carrots.
00:50:01He wants you to go
00:50:02back to the website.
00:50:03Michelle,
00:50:04go back to the website.
00:50:06Tell her to take a good look
00:50:07at her husband's left hand
00:50:09because by the time
00:50:10she sees it again,
00:50:11it might look different.
00:50:13What does he want me to do?
00:50:16What do you want, Hamal?
00:50:18I want Michelle
00:50:19to be more cooperative
00:50:20and not go running out again.
00:50:22Yes.
00:50:23Okay.
00:50:24We'll stay right here.
00:50:26Good.
00:50:27I hate to get blood
00:50:28all over the place.
00:50:29It's hell to clean up.
00:50:31Now, while you two
00:50:32were hiding,
00:50:33I was busy.
00:50:34I learned from David
00:50:35how to set up his webcam.
00:50:36Tell Michelle
00:50:37to check her email again.
00:50:38I just sent her
00:50:39the instructions.
00:50:40Go ahead.
00:50:41Go ahead.
00:50:50Why are you doing this?
00:50:53Do you want to see
00:50:54what I really look like?
00:50:56No, my lady.
00:50:57I want you to stay away
00:50:58from the camera.
00:51:00I want to keep that image
00:51:01of how I imagine
00:51:02you look in my mind.
00:51:05Then this is for Michelle?
00:51:07Yes.
00:51:08I want to involve Michelle
00:51:09more in our little
00:51:10web conference.
00:51:12Can you handle it?
00:51:17How did you spot me, Hamal?
00:51:19I mean, I wasn't wearing
00:51:20the outfit I was
00:51:21supposed to wear.
00:51:23I can smell a cop.
00:51:25I've gotten very good
00:51:26at dodging them.
00:51:28You asked me once
00:51:29what the 18 stood for.
00:51:31Yeah?
00:51:32What?
00:51:34I've known 18
00:51:35lovely little girls
00:51:36and boys.
00:51:37We've got to stop him.
00:51:39He's abused 18 children.
00:51:42I thought after tonight
00:51:43I was going to have to
00:51:44change my name
00:51:45to Hamal 19.
00:51:47Are you boasting?
00:51:49Trying to impress me?
00:51:51No.
00:51:52I've been enjoying
00:51:53the company of little ladies
00:51:54and gentlemen
00:51:55for a long time.
00:51:57Over five years now.
00:51:59And I thought
00:52:00I was special.
00:52:01Oh, you are, my lady.
00:52:03More special
00:52:04than you realize.
00:52:05You sure know
00:52:06a lot about computers, Hamal.
00:52:09I've only learned
00:52:10what I need to know.
00:52:12I'm not some hacker
00:52:13in case you're trying
00:52:14to figure me out.
00:52:16I'm always trying
00:52:17to figure you out.
00:52:19I bet you are.
00:52:21How's the camera coming?
00:52:23Is she there yet?
00:52:25Yeah.
00:52:26Now what?
00:52:29Yes, I got it.
00:52:30Excellent.
00:52:32You're doing well, Michelle.
00:52:34You are lovely.
00:52:36Now step back.
00:52:39I want to see all of you.
00:52:42Let's get a good
00:52:43look at you.
00:52:45I thought you were
00:52:46only interested
00:52:47in young girls.
00:52:48Jealous, my lady?
00:52:50Yes.
00:52:52Yes.
00:52:54So lovely.
00:52:56I thought you were
00:52:57my special friend.
00:52:59But I am.
00:53:02Would you still like
00:53:03some thong panties?
00:53:04You know I would.
00:53:07Ask Michelle
00:53:08if she has any.
00:53:09He wants to know
00:53:10if you have any thong panties.
00:53:12She does.
00:53:13Then tell her
00:53:14to go get a pair.
00:53:15Black preferably
00:53:16since that's
00:53:17your favorite color.
00:53:18He wants you to go get
00:53:19a pair of black
00:53:20if you have them.
00:53:22Good.
00:53:25Hamal, I don't like
00:53:26this game.
00:53:27I didn't like the game
00:53:28you were playing
00:53:29with the two policemen.
00:53:30That's not very nice.
00:53:31No one was going
00:53:32to get hurt in that game.
00:53:34You would have arrested me.
00:53:36You can't keep doing
00:53:37what you're doing.
00:53:38I know that.
00:53:40Ah, yes.
00:53:42Very good, Michelle.
00:53:44Now walk back
00:53:45to where you were.
00:53:48Turn around.
00:53:52Now,
00:53:53be a good girl
00:53:54and take your pants
00:53:55and panties off
00:53:56and put the thong panties on.
00:53:59He wants me
00:54:00to put them on, doesn't he?
00:54:01Don't you want to see
00:54:02what thong panties
00:54:03look like, Michelle?
00:54:04What they'll look like
00:54:05on you when you're older?
00:54:07Hamal, you are so mean.
00:54:08I don't like you anymore.
00:54:10Shh.
00:54:12Good.
00:54:16Are you okay?
00:54:18You can do this.
00:54:20You can.
00:54:21Shh.
00:54:32Slowly.
00:54:37Tell her to do it slowly.
00:54:43I want a lot of video of this.
00:54:49No!
00:54:50What?
00:54:51What are you doing?
00:54:52Get away
00:54:53from the camera.
00:54:54This has gone far enough.
00:54:55You are tormenting
00:54:56these people for no reason.
00:54:57Stephen,
00:54:58what are you doing?
00:54:59I don't want to talk to you.
00:55:00I want to talk to Lady Ashley.
00:55:02Lady Ashley is gone.
00:55:03She better come back
00:55:05right now
00:55:06and fix the camera back.
00:55:08This is my real face, Hamal.
00:55:09The game is over.
00:55:10Tell Michelle
00:55:11to count the fingers
00:55:12on David's left hand.
00:55:14No!
00:55:15Listen to me.
00:55:16There's no end to this.
00:55:17God knows what he'll try
00:55:18to make us do next.
00:55:19I don't care.
00:55:22She's doing it, Hamal.
00:55:23Don't do anything to David.
00:55:25Yes, I see.
00:55:27So does her husband.
00:55:30They look very good
00:55:31on her.
00:55:32Don't you think, my lady?
00:55:33You don't want to know
00:55:34what I think.
00:55:35Tell Michelle
00:55:36to turn around
00:55:37and face the camera.
00:55:38What?
00:55:39What does he want now?
00:55:40He wants you
00:55:41to face the camera.
00:55:43But I can't see
00:55:44the fine panties very well.
00:55:46Her shirt is too long.
00:55:48Tell Michelle
00:55:49to lose the shirt.
00:55:50Now what?
00:55:52He wants you
00:55:53to take off your shirt.
00:55:54But I'm not wearing a bra.
00:55:56I think he knows that.
00:56:02Smell the salt air, Michelle.
00:56:04Feel the sea breeze
00:56:05on your face.
00:56:06What are you talking about?
00:56:07You've done this before,
00:56:08remember?
00:56:09At Cabo San Lucas
00:56:10you took your top off,
00:56:11you walked across the beach
00:56:12and into the ocean.
00:56:13How many people
00:56:14were watching that?
00:56:15I don't know.
00:56:16A dozen?
00:56:17Now it's just your husband
00:56:18and some sick animal.
00:56:19And you?
00:56:20Okay, your husband
00:56:21and two sick animals.
00:56:23But feel the tropical sun
00:56:24on your skin,
00:56:25the hot sand
00:56:26under your bare feet.
00:56:27Remember that day, Michelle.
00:56:28This is going to be
00:56:29just the same.
00:56:36Oh, I can feel
00:56:37the tropical sun
00:56:38on my tits now.
00:56:39Good, Michelle.
00:56:40Get angry.
00:56:41Fucking right I'm angry.
00:56:42We're through
00:56:43with this game, Hamal.
00:56:45We're not through with this
00:56:46until I say so.
00:56:48Michelle,
00:56:49count the fingers
00:56:50on David's hand.
00:56:52Michelle,
00:56:53look.
00:56:58No!
00:56:59Hamal, don't do anything
00:57:00to David.
00:57:02What does he want now?
00:57:04I don't know.
00:57:05I don't know.
00:57:13For what?
00:57:14Trying to make me
00:57:15feel better.
00:57:22I always thought
00:57:23yelling was better
00:57:24than crying anyway.
00:57:30Now,
00:57:31Michelle,
00:57:32turn your left side to her.
00:57:35Now take a good look
00:57:37at Michelle.
00:57:39Tell me if you see
00:57:40a birthmark
00:57:41on her left hip.
00:57:44Do you see it, Stephen?
00:57:47Do you see it?
00:57:49Shaped like a cute
00:57:50little heart
00:57:51on her left hip?
00:57:54Just look at her
00:57:55left hip, Stephen.

01:01:09Oh.
01:01:10Oh.
01:01:15Stephen.
01:01:17That's him.
01:01:19What?
01:01:22You don't have a birthmark
01:01:23on your left hip.
01:01:24No, of course not.
01:01:27Ashley did.
01:01:31Maul is her rapist.
01:01:33Her murderer.
01:01:34How can you be sure?
01:01:36She was naked.
01:01:37He saw the birthmark.
01:01:40Oh, God.
01:01:42David.
01:01:44I don't give a damn about your husband.
01:01:46That's him all and I want him.
01:01:48Stephen.
01:01:56He's here.
01:01:57He's here in the city.
01:02:01He's connected to us.
01:02:03I'm going to follow that connection.
01:02:05I'm going to follow it somehow.
01:02:07I'm going to find him.
01:02:08And I'm going to beat him to death.
01:02:12He's been taunting me.
01:02:15For months.
01:02:18When I first found him, I didn't know it.
01:02:22But he knew.
01:02:23He recognized Ashley.
01:02:25Stephen.
01:02:27Settle down.
01:02:28It's not enough that he raped and murdered my daughter.
01:02:31That's not enough for him.
01:02:33Now he's got to toy with me about it.
01:02:36You have to calm down.
01:02:37That's how he ID'd us.
01:02:40He knows what I look like.
01:02:44Now he's letting me know that he knows.
01:02:46Please.
01:02:47Just calm down.
01:02:48You need to be calm to think clearly.
01:02:51That bastard.
01:02:52I'll kill him.
01:02:54You want to get him.
01:02:55I want to save my husband.
01:02:57We need to work together.
01:02:59You need to settle down.
01:03:01You need to be able to think.
01:03:05He wants Lady Ashley.
01:03:07I don't know.
01:03:08I don't think I can do it anymore.
01:03:09Stephen, you have to.
01:03:10I can't.
01:03:12She doesn't like it.
01:03:15Who doesn't like it?
01:03:21You said earlier there was more.
01:03:24I started out trying to find her.
01:03:26For a killer.
01:03:28And then...
01:03:31When I couldn't.
01:03:33I just wanted to be Ashley.
01:03:35I just wanted to keep her alive.
01:03:41I really was Ashley.
01:03:46Of course you want to keep her alive.
01:03:49You never want to let her memory fade.
01:03:52It's twisted.
01:03:54It's so twisted.
01:03:56No it's not.
01:03:58We'll figure out somehow to find her mom.
01:04:00And to save David.
01:04:02Now go back in there as Lady Ashley.
01:04:07Okay.
01:04:10Is Lady Ashley here?
01:04:15I really like your thong panties.
01:04:17Mom won't buy me any.
01:04:22You can have these.
01:04:24No, you keep them.
01:04:26I'll get some when I'm older.
01:04:30Come on Lady Ashley.
01:04:32Let's do it.
01:04:43He put the hood back on.
01:04:51Yo, I'm back.
01:04:53Hamal?
01:04:54Are you there?
01:04:56Yes.
01:04:57I'm glad you put the hood back on David.
01:05:00I really don't care about David or Michelle.
01:05:03Yeah, it's just us two, isn't it?
01:05:06Exactly.
01:05:08Do I ever get to meet you?
01:05:10What?
01:05:11Maybe.
01:05:12David scratched something on the cutting board.
01:05:13What?
01:05:15Can't read it.
01:05:17My lady, where are you?
01:05:19You got photo editing software?
01:05:20I don't know.
01:05:21I'm sure you do.
01:05:22David's got everything on this computer.
01:05:24Where are you Lady Ashley?
01:05:30Ashley.
01:05:36My lady.
01:05:40My lady.
01:05:46What's going on?
01:05:50Where are you?
01:05:54It's a street address.
01:05:55Tell me.
01:05:56One...
01:05:57Ashley.
01:05:59It's a four.
01:06:01Eight Wash.
01:06:03Something else.
01:06:04I can't read it.
01:06:05Get a map of the city.
01:06:06He'll know I'm gone.
01:06:08I'll cover for you.
01:06:09Go.
01:06:12I'm back.
01:06:14Good.
01:06:16Yes.
01:06:18This is big fun.
01:06:23David scratched Wash.
01:06:24That's got to be Washington Avenue.
01:06:26That's got to be it.
01:06:27Where?
01:06:28A couple of miles from here.
01:06:29I know it.
01:06:30Ashley.
01:06:32Hamal, am I boring you?
01:06:35Of course not.
01:06:38Then why do you not answer me sometimes?
01:06:41Some of the things you say sends chills down my spine.
01:06:46Yeah?
01:06:48Like what?
01:06:50You don't even know you're doing it, do you?
01:06:53One-four-eight Washington Avenue.
01:06:55I can get there in ten minutes.
01:06:56But Hal, you've got to stay on line.
01:06:59Hamal, Michelle's screaming from the bathroom.
01:07:03Something's happened to her.
01:07:05What?
01:07:06I don't know.
01:07:08This hasn't been easy on her.
01:07:09I've got to go help her.
01:07:11Let's go.
01:07:12Lady Ashley talked to me.
01:07:18The flashlight's on.
01:07:19The flashlight and the glove box.
01:07:21Get it.
01:07:28That was a stop sign.
01:07:30Had the light maker right.
01:07:32Four years.
01:07:33I've been waiting four years for this.
01:07:35You are going to arrest him, right, Stephen?
01:07:37No.
01:07:38I'm going to beat him to death very slow.
01:07:40Well, I don't want to beat him to death.
01:07:44That was a red.
01:07:45My clothes were red.
01:07:47My white T-shirt.
01:07:48My blue denim shorts.
01:07:50With my blood.
01:07:51There was blood everywhere.
01:07:52Stephen, you do realize you're crazy, don't you?
01:07:55Maybe we should just dissect him.
01:07:57Dissecting frogs is gross.
01:07:59But it would be big fun to dissect Hamal,
01:08:01especially while he's still alive.
01:08:03Stop it.
01:08:04Are you reading the map?
01:08:05Washington's at the next stop.
01:08:07Stop this time.
01:08:08Because I don't know which way we turn.
01:08:10White looks more commercialized.
01:08:12Just watch the numbers.
01:08:14Slow down.
01:08:15I can't read them.
01:08:18Thanks for the whiplash.
01:08:19We get David first.
01:08:20Just stay out of my way.
01:08:21You're a police officer, Stephen.
01:08:23Remember that.
01:08:24The minute I lay eyes on Hamal, I resign.
01:08:27I'll back you up.
01:08:29I'll testify in court you're crazy as a loon.
01:08:32Are you watching?
01:08:33Shit!
01:08:34We passed it!
01:08:35We passed it!
01:08:36We passed it!
01:08:37We passed it!
01:08:38We passed it!
01:08:39We passed it!
01:08:40We passed it!
01:08:41Shit!
01:08:42We passed it!
01:08:43Hang on!
01:08:44If we die, Hamal gets away.
01:08:46Watch for 148.
01:08:48Slow down.
01:08:49We're getting close.
01:08:51Stephen.
01:08:53Don't throw your life away.
01:08:56I don't have a life.
01:08:59Stop.
01:09:00This could be it.
01:09:11I'm sorry.
01:09:41I'm sorry.
01:10:06Oh, God.
01:10:08David.
01:10:11It's a woman.
01:10:14Where...
01:10:15Where is she?
01:10:16I don't know.
01:10:17I had this hood on.
01:10:21Stephen, I can't get him loose.
01:10:33Oh, God.
01:10:34It's so good to see you.
01:10:38How'd you guys find me?
01:10:39The address.
01:10:40What?
01:10:42You carved it on the cutting board.
01:10:43No.
01:10:44I didn't do that.
01:10:45I have no idea where we're at.
01:10:47Your finger.
01:10:49It's bloody.
01:10:50It's not blood.
01:10:51I don't know.
01:10:52I felt her doing some things with my finger.
01:10:54I don't know.
01:10:55Stephen, what the hell is going on here?
01:11:03No.
01:11:04Stephen, I'll go with you.
01:11:06No.
01:11:09Please.
01:11:39Daddy?
01:11:53Daddy?
01:11:54I'm scared.
01:12:00Daddy?
01:12:03Daddy, where are you?
01:12:09Daddy, I'm scared.
01:12:19What are you doing?
01:12:22You're hurting me.
01:12:25Why are you so afraid?
01:12:30Where are you, Daddy?
01:12:34Daddy, he's hurting me.
01:12:36Where are you?
01:12:39Come here.
01:12:43Do it, Ashley.
01:12:47Daddy, please help me.
01:12:50Come here.
01:12:53Do it.
01:12:56Why couldn't you stop this one?
01:12:59Before he hurt me?
01:13:06You hurt me.
01:13:09You're so beautiful.
01:13:14Daddy?
01:13:17Daddy?
01:13:21Come here.
01:13:22Now.
01:13:33Who are you?
01:13:35Hello, Stephen.
01:13:39Stop.
01:13:44Who are you?
01:13:59Hello, Mary.
01:14:07Why?
01:14:09Why?
01:14:11Because you had to be stopped.
01:14:16Oh, Mary, what have I done?
01:14:18Honey, you are already dead.
01:14:21We just never let you go.
01:14:24But I have to help Daddy. We have to find him.
01:14:28I don't want to talk to Ashley anymore.
01:14:32I want to talk to Stephen.
01:14:35But, Mom, don't you want to find him?
01:14:37Yes. Yes, I do.
01:14:40But sometimes it just isn't up to us.
01:14:44Sometimes we have to let God administer justice.
01:14:49People aren't always going to get it right.
01:14:54No.
01:15:00No.
01:15:05No.
01:15:07No.
01:15:20Stephen, what are you doing?
01:15:22I can't just stop.
01:15:25Yes, you can. I did it.
01:15:29But he's still out there. My killer.
01:15:34Ashley's killer.
01:15:37Stephen, it is seductive, isn't it?
01:15:41Keeping Ashley alive?
01:15:44I never understood how seductive it was until a few months ago.
01:15:48I never understood before.
01:15:51That's why I had to leave you.
01:15:53You just couldn't let our dead daughter go.
01:16:00I know it was worse for you.
01:16:02You were a cop and you felt you couldn't even protect your own daughter.
01:16:07You blamed yourself.
01:16:10Maybe you were too strict and pushed her away.
01:16:12Forced her to do what she did.
01:16:15Maybe you were too lenient and gave her too much freedom.
01:16:19But no matter why, you felt responsible for her death.
01:16:26In my own way, I felt just as responsible for Ashley's death.
01:16:30I felt just as responsible for Ashley's death as you.
01:16:35That is why I had to get out.
01:16:41And then, after a little time went by, I really started thinking about us again.
01:16:50So I contacted some of our old police friends.
01:16:54And they told me that you were working for a special task force to trap child molesters.
01:17:00And they said that you were very good at it.
01:17:05My curiosity got the better of me.
01:17:07I began going to the chat rooms I heard you were using to go after pedophiles.
01:17:12God, the night I found Ashley online, my heart nearly stopped.
01:17:16It was her, right down to a T.
01:17:19It was like you had dug her up from her grave and turned her into some hideous undead creature.
01:17:24It was horrible.
01:17:25I knew then I had to stop you.
01:17:28To finally put Ashley's soul to rest.
01:17:31My God, you were good.
01:17:33Reading your postings, I could hear Ashley's voice in my head.
01:17:36I could hear her saying the things that you were typing.
01:17:39The things that you remembered.
01:17:41Things I'd forgotten years ago.
01:17:43The way she used to say yo.
01:17:45The way she used to say she was having big fun.
01:17:48I was stunned.
01:17:52Steven, please don't do this.
01:17:55Oh God.
01:17:57Please don't do it.
01:18:00He loves you very, very much.
01:18:04Okay?
01:18:06Let him go.
01:18:10It's time to let him go.
01:18:14Okay?
01:18:16Just let him go.
01:18:25Let him go.
01:18:33I didn't get...
01:18:38Are you okay?
01:18:40Yeah, since that damn Mickey you gave me wore off.
01:18:44I am so sorry about that.
01:18:47I'm sorry about your hand too.
01:18:50I'm sorry about everything.
01:18:52It's just I had to be convincing.
01:18:55I had to seem ruthless.
01:18:58I need to make a quick pit stop.
01:19:01I'll see you when you get back.
01:19:19It's okay.
01:19:20It's over now.
01:19:22How'd you know about me?
01:19:24I was there at the mall for that first meeting.
01:19:27I just, I wasn't in the coffee shop.
01:19:29I asked around and I found out that you were Steven's new partner.
01:19:33I found out that she had a wife, her name was Michelle.
01:19:36That you were a computer geek.
01:19:38Actually, that's what gave me the idea for the web conference.
01:19:41Yeah, but a man called me.
01:19:46If you ever want to see your husband again,
01:19:48you'll do exactly...
01:19:50Sound familiar?
01:19:52So you didn't abuse 18 children?
01:19:54No.
01:19:56Of course not.
01:19:58It's just that Ashley would have been 18.
01:20:01And that's all that that number meant.
01:20:03Steven.
01:20:09Do you know what a dangerous game you were playing?
01:20:12I was doing good.
01:20:14I know you were doing good.
01:20:15But it got too tempting, didn't it?
01:20:18I never hurt anybody.
01:20:20Not yet you haven't.
01:20:22What are you talking about?
01:20:24He was logging on the internet talking to teenage girls as Ashley.
01:20:27To warn them.
01:20:29To show them that it was dangerous.
01:20:31To show them they didn't know who they were talking to.
01:20:33Yeah, but then you stopped warning them.
01:20:36They could just log on, relax and be Ashley.
01:20:40I would listen in on some of the chats and I was scared to death.
01:20:45By some of the things that I heard.
01:20:47Scared of what?
01:20:49Scared that he was becoming the monster that he was trying to find.
01:20:52And I knew that I had to stop him.
01:20:55And there was no way anybody in the police department was going to do it.
01:20:58They thought he was a hero.
01:21:00I was the only one that could do it.
01:21:02And I wanted to save him.
01:21:04But to do that I had to destroy Ashley.
01:21:07I mean, do you see that?
01:21:09I mean, do you understand why I had to do it?
01:21:11Where's his laptop at?
01:21:13Oh, it's at our house.
01:21:15Get rid of it. Destroy it.
01:21:17My pleasure.
01:21:24Is he going to be okay?
01:21:26I hope so.
01:21:29I hope so too.
01:21:41I don't think that you should be alone tonight.
01:21:44I think you should stay home with me.
01:21:48The couch?
01:21:51To start.
01:21:55Okay.
01:22:02Why Hamal?
01:22:06Do you remember that Christmas story that Ashley liked so much?
01:22:08Hamal and the Night Visitors.
01:22:11Yeah.
01:22:12Remember how she...
01:22:13She could never say it right when she was little.
01:22:16She'd always put an H in front of it.
01:22:19Hamal and the Night Visitors.
01:22:23Yep.
01:22:38I love you.
01:23:08I love you.
01:23:38I love you.
01:24:08I love you.
