sort of thing.
You think the yards are a factor
when he selects victims?
Yes.
And there will be more of them,
of course. Victims.
You'll be wanting lots
of these little chinwags...
-l take it.
-l might not have time.
l do.
l have oodles.
l need your opinion now.
Then here's one:
You stink of fear
under that cheap lotion.
You stink of fear, Will,
but you're not a coward!
You fear me,
but still you came here.
You fear this shy boy,
yet still you seek him out.
Don't you understand, Will?
You caught me
because we're very much alike.
Without our imaginations...
we'd be like all those other
poor dullards.
Fear is the price
of our instrument.
But l can help you bear it.
-You getting his face?
-Yeah.
Okay, you got it?
All right,
let's get the fuck out of here.
Sure you're okay?
Yeah, l'm okay.
What do you think he
meant by ''see them living''?
l don't know, maybe nothing.
lt's hard to separate
his bullshit.
But l'm gonna make another pass
at the Leeds' house.
All right, Duchess, doll.
That's it.
Show me what you can do.
Who's that? Get them, Duchess.
Get them, Duch! Go get them!
Go get them, girl!
Okay.
And action!
Charles! What are you doing?
Hey, gang.
You crazy man.
How is everybody doing?
Just home from the store.
-Hi, Daddy.
-That's my girl.
-Hi, Daddy.
-Hi, honey. Billy?
Hi, Dad.
-And sweetie?
l am not ready for my close-up,
Mr. DeMille.
What do you think?
Get closer. Get closer.
Little closer.
l think we'd better put
these kids to bed early tonight.
They seem tired. Don't you think?
Here we are at the pool party.
What are you doing? Stop it!
You stop it! l'm telling my mother on you.
Now l get my kiss?
-All right, you want a kiss?
-l want one. The romantic kind.
Jacobi House, Birmingham, Al
Won't nobody get in through here
again. l'll guaran-damn-tee it.
Why didn't he break in
down there? lt's more hidden.
Hell, that door's got deadbolts.
Reckon he was in
too big a hurry.
No, this one doesn't hurry.
You sat right here, didn't you?
You watched the children
bury the cat.
And then you waited for dark.
You're proud.
You had to sign your work.
Grandma? Grandma?
l'm sorry.
l've never seen a child
as dirty and disgusting as you.
Look at you! You're soaking wet.
Get out of my bed.
-No.
-Go back to your room.
You're hurting me!
Shut up,
you filthy little beast!
l should have put you in
an orphanage, grandson or not.
Grandma, don't hurt me.
You're hurting me!
lnto the bathroom!
Take off your nightshirt,
and wipe yourself off. Hurry up!
Now give me my scissors
from the medicine chest.
Please, no!
Take that filthy thing
in your hand. Stretch it out.
No, Grandma.
-Now!
-Please!
Look down. Do you want
me to cut it off? Do you?
No, Grandma!
l pledge you my word, Francis...
if you ever make
your bed dirty again...
l'll cut it off.
Do you understand?
l'll be a good boy.
l promise.
Good morning, Will.
So nice of you to visit again.
He carved this on a tree
near the Jacobi house.
With a Buck knife.
The same one later used
on Charles Leeds.
Yes.
Take a walk with me.
He had a second tool, too.
A bolt cutter.
He used that to clear his view.
But?
l don't think
that's what he brought it for.
lt's too heavy. Too awkward.
And he had to carry it
a long way.
And what do we make
of that symbol?
Asian Studies at Langley...
identified it
as a Chinese character.
lt appears on a mah-jong piece.
-lt marks the Red Dragon.
-Red Dragon. Correct.
This boy begins to interest me.
We don't know what greater
meaning the symbol might have--
Do you like
my little exercise cage, Will?
My so-called lawyer
is always nagging Dr. Chilton...
for better accommodations.
l don't know
which is the greater fool.
Perhaps if you could offer
some insight into--
''A robin redbreast in a cage
Puts all heaven in a rage''
Ever been a redbreast, Will?
Of course you have.
l'm allowed 30 minutes in here,
once a week.
