Suspect Zero Script - Dialogue Transcript

Voila! Finally, the Suspect Zero script is here for all you quotes spouting fans of the Thomas Jane and Ben Kingsley movie.  This script is a transcript that was painstakingly transcribed using the screenplay and/or viewings of Suspect Zero. I know, I know, I still need to get the cast names in there and I'll be eternally tweaking it, so if you have any corrections, feel free to drop me a line. You won't hurt my feelings. Honest.

Kind of a hobby.



  

                   

Take a Look at these pictures...

Here. This one's my favourite!



  

                   

ReaLLy says it aLL.



  

                   

WouLdn't you agree?



  

                   

You are sick.



  

                   

It's a matter of opinion.



  

                   

There's a rest stop next off-ramp.

Pull into it.



  

                   

-I have money, it's not a lot--

-Nobody wants your money.



  

                   

Just pull in.



  

                   

Why?



  

                   

Because I wouldn't wanna do this

at    miles an hour.



  

                   

Could be dangerous.

Afternoon, Rick.



  

                   

Looks like a robbery-homicide.



  

                   

-Body is back over there.

-You run the pLates?



  

                   

FeLLow's name is HaroLd Speck,

traveLLing saLesman from T or C.

Okay.



  

                   

Describe. Describe it.



  

                   

Short, one word.



  

                   

One word.



  

                   

Draw the environment.



  

                   

One target at a time.



  

                   

One target at a time.



  

                   

Draw the environment.



  

                   

Draw the environment now.



   

                   

Sir.



   

                   

Sort of a stickLer for procedure.



   

                   

I imagine you wouLd be.

Shoes are on the wrong feet.



   

                   

ALL American Diner,

GaLLup, New Mexico.



   

                   

-Passed that on the way here.

-He had breakfast there this morning.



   

                   

Starting off the bottom of the inning,

Barry Matthews.



   

                   

Got on base with a line-drive

single his last at bat.



   

                   

And he takes the first pitch

high and inside for ball one.



   

                   

Looked like Leonard was trying

to get the breaking pitch inside...



   

                   

...but it just didn't have

any break on it that time.



   

                   

Agent MackeLway,

we're over here.



   

                   

I was gonna introduce you two, but I

understand that won't be necessary.



   

                   

Seems your former office

decided we needed heLp...



   

                   

...so they sent us Agent KuLok.



   

                   

-Hey, Tom.

-Hi, Fran.



   

                   

I guess we're gonna skip

the tearfuL reunion.



   

                   

Have a seat, Tom.



   

                   

How are things in DaLLas?



   

                   

WouLdn't reaLLy know.

I've been chained to a desk.



   

                   

Okay, what do we know?



   

                   

Picked up a footprint in the back seat.

A size and a haLf bigger than Speck's.



   

                   

Okay.



   

                   

Wounds on Speck's throat indicate

he was strangLed from behind.



   

                   

I think our guy was waiting

for him in the back seat...



   

                   

...sprung this on him

once the car was moving.



   

                   

Lab picked up taLcum traces

aLong the edges...



   

                   

...consistent with powdered gLoves.

So he gets this dropped in his Lap...



   

                   

...it spooks him,

car ends up in the ravine.



   

                   

That car was pushed

to the state Line.



   

                   

The depth of the tire tracks...



   

                   

...footprints near the embankment.



   

                   

That car wasn't going

more than   miLes an hour...



   

                   

...and it stopped LiteraLLy

on the state Line.



   

                   

Guy must have used GPS.



   

                   

Why wouLd he push it

to the state Line?



   

                   

Same reason he did everything eLse,

to get the FBL's undivided attention.



   

                   

There's an association here.



   

                   

You have a circLe...



   

                   

...and a LidLess eye that's aLways open.



   

                   

Seeing.



   

                   

Seeing.



   

                   

Or making sure that we're seeing.



   

                   

Lt's just a feeLing.



   

                   

He was a normaL guy.

You know, kind of quiet.



   

                   

He Liked to read fishing magazines,

and he wasn't much of a tipper.



   

                   

-Ls that a Lousy thing to say?

-No, it's fine.



   

                   

CouLd you teLL us

about the other man?



   

                   

Like I said,

I never reaLLy saw him.



   

                   

HaroLd came up compLaining

about the guy...



   

                   

...but by the time I turned

around, he was gone.



   

                   

-Can you desc--?

-Desc-



   

                   

-Can you describe him, ma'am?

-Oh, sure.



   

                   

You couLd teLL he wasn't

from around here.



   

                   

Did you see what he was driving?



   

                   

You know, now that you mention it...



   

                   

...there's a Torino out in the parking

Lot with a reaL crappy paint job.



   

                   

Lt's been here since Last night.



   

                   

We need a protocoL

for interviewing witnesses.



   

                   

Fine. I'LL handLe it.



   

                   

ALways in controL.

TeLL you something, Tom...



   

                   

...I want my Life back,

so I want this over quick.



   

                   

So, what happened?



   

                   

Your ring.



   

                   

Lt didn't work out...



   

                   

...just Like us.



   

                   

So why are you here?



   

                   

You vacationing in ALbuquerque?



   

                   

Oh, Tom, you sure haven't changed

in six whoLe months.



   

                   

Keys are in the car.



   

                   

I don't need a babysitter...



   

                   

...so Let's do it right this time.



   

                   

Then don't make things so

unnecessariLy compLicated again.



   

                   

-Trunk's ajar.

-You Listening to me?



   

                   

You think I wanna be down here?

I'm not interested in hanging out...



   

                   

...and I'm not your babysitter.

I'm your partner.



   

                   

I didn't put you here, remember.



   

                   

And I'm not going through

this again with you.



   

                   

HoLy shit.



   

                   

A circLe with a sLash.



   

                   

-Dispatch.

-I need heLp down here.

...I just heard.



   

                   

I'm so sorry.



   

                   

I didn't know him weLL, but I think

HaroLd was a more compLex person...



   

                   

...than peopLe reaLize.



   

                   

He was, wasn't he?



   

                   

I'm reaLLy sorry

Thank you. Thank you so much.



   

                   

So it wasn't Fulcher's car?



   

                   

Car was registered to

a Daniel Dyson...



   

                   

...runs a halfway house

in Oklahoma City.



   

                   

Dyson?



   

                   

DanieL Dyson?

Why didn't you report it as stoLen?



   

                   

The truth is, I aLways hated that car.



   

                   

Nobody but Benjamin

couLd ever make it run right.



   

                   

Ls that his name, Benjamin?



   

                   

Lt's hard to say.

That's what he Liked to be caLLed.



   

                   

This bad wiring.



   

                   

I think we've got an

obsessive-compuLsive here.



   

                   

I'LL caLL Grieves. Get him to work up

a List of behaviourists for us to taLk to.



   

                   

Give me that.



   

                   

Excuse me.



   

                   

These came from Benjamin?



   

                   

He used to spend hours down here.



   

                   

Lt was Like-- Like his office.



   

                   

What are these?



   

                   

With those numbers and pictures,

he said he couLd find anybody.



   

                   

Benjamin O'Ryan?



   

                   

SpeciaL Agent Benjamin O'Ryan, FBL.



   

                   

Lt was his fantasy.



   

                   

Oh, fuck.



   

                   

Agent Mackelway, what the fuck

were you thinking?



   

                   

He's got nine murders in his pocket,

and he's gonna walk.



   

                   

Hey, Starkey.



   

                   

What made you think you could

cross the border into Mexico...



   

                   

... without an extradition order?



   

                   

I knew he was gonna

disappear into Mexico.



   

                   

You knew?



   

                   

Agent Mackelway, you have shamed

and vilified this bureau...



   

                   

...with your methods.



   

                   

I have no choice but to recommend

you be suspended...



   

                   

... for a period of six months...



   

                   

...during which you'll undergo

a psychological evaluation.



   

                   

Let the record show that the case

against Agent Fran Kulok is pending.



   

                   

Turn it off!



   

                   

I guess you guys are never

unaccounted for, huh?



   

                   

This guy reaLLy Likes you.



   

                   

This is O'Ryan's room.



   

                   

Tom.



   

                   

You got it?



   

                   

Yeah, I got it.



   

                   

Lt's Agent KuLok. Can you run this

number and LD the subscriber for me?



   

                   

-You're breaking up, Fran.

-HoLd on. Let me get outside, hoLd on.



   

                   

Thank you.



   

                   

Ever see a   -foot shark?



   

                   

I'm sorry?



   

                   

A   -foot shark. You ever see one?



   

                   

No.



   

                   

Doesn't mean there aren't any.



   

                   

Excuse me, sir,

did you know him?



   

                   

The guy with the Torino, O'Ryan,

the guy who Lived upstairs?



   

                   

Why? Ls he dead?



   

                   

-I don't know.

-You said "did."



   

                   

-Ls he dead?

-Oh, no. I'm sorry. I misspoke.



   

                   

You ever seen this before?



   

                   

Lt's a circLe with a sLash

through it.



   

                   

Lt's not a circLe.



   

                   

Lt's a zero.



   

                   

Lt's a zero.

And how do you know that?



   

                   

Did he teLL you that?



   

                   

Why are you whistLing?



   

                   

What does that mean?



   

                   

Have you seen this, sir?



   

                   

Circle with a slash through it.



   

                   

Have you seen that?

A circle with a slash through it?



   

                   

Circle with a slash through it.

Take a look.



   

                   

Have you seen a circle

with a slash through it?



   

                   

Benjamin O'Ryan? Sir?



   

                   

A circle with a slash through it?



   

                   

Benjamin O'Ryan.

He was here seven years.



   

                   

-Tom?

-What?



   

                   

We got a trace. Faxes and Things,

SLeeper, Missouri. Come on.



   

                   

Come on.



   

                   

I'll have a  &  pLease.



   

                   

Got some LD?



   

                   

It's in the car. No one's asked me

for it for a coupLe of years now.



   

                   

Nothing personaL, honey.



   

                   

Excuse me...



   

                   

-...you forgot this.

-Oh, I don't have--



   

                   

Kiss it!



   

                   

Hey.



   

                   

Hey, hey!



   

                   

Fuck you.



   

                   

You fuck.



   

                   

Hi.



   

                   

Turn around.



   

                   

Turn around!



   

                   

-Ma'am?

-FBL.



   

                   

Excuse me.



   

                   

Do your parents know?



   

                   

Tom.



   

                   

You got an LD?



   

                   

-What?

-Raymond Starkey.



   

                   

-Starkey did this?

-Tom, Starkey's the guy on the ground.



   

                   

You son of a bitch...



   

                   

...why are you baiting me?



   

                   

You want me

to see what you see.



   

                   

You want me to see.



   

                   

I'm trying to see it.



   

                   

I'm trying to see it.



   

                   

-He open up an oLd wound.

-Yeah.



   

                   

-What does he want?

-I don't know.



   

                   

Maybe he's got something

against Law enforcement...



   

                   

...Like the Zodiac.



   

                   

"You're weLcome, Tom.

You're weLcome, Tom."



   

                   

Not FBL. Tom. He's baiting me.

He wants me.



   

                   

Why? What does he want?



   

                   

Okay.



   

                   

Tom, I want you to take me

through this.



   

                   

ExpLain this to me.



   

                   

Okay. See if this makes sense

to you, okay?



   

                   

Each of the    abduction dates

on these faxes correspond...



   

                   

...to one of the GPS coordinates

on O'Ryan's map.



   

                   

-What about the two bodies we LD'd?

-Okay. WeLL, Let's find the faxes.



   

                   

Here we go.



   

                   

MaLe victim.

Last seen, Trenton, New Jersey.



   

                   

Okay. Found in DyersviLLe, Lowa.



   

                   

Okay. FemaLe.

Last seen, Dayton, Ohio.



   

                   

Found in BrownsviLLe, Texas.



   

                   

So we have two bodies...



   

                   

...that were found      miLes

from where they were Last seen.



   

                   

What's this?



   

                   

-That's Tucumcari, New Mexico.

-Why bLue?



   

                   

That's the onLy city where the date on

the fax and the map didn't correspond.



   

                   

Date of disappearance:. Christmas.



   

                   

On O'Ryan's map,  -  .



   

                   

The onLy thing we know is there

never was a Benjamin O'Ryan, FBL.



   

                   

He wouLd have made

a heLL of an agent.



   

                   

Autopsy reports just arrived

for both the new positive LDs.



   

                   

-Bruises?

-No, they're burn marks.



   

                   

We've got them here too

on our femaLe from Dayton.



   

                   

And these marks reLate to the marks

found on FuLcher and Speck how?



   

                   

They don't. There were no burn marks

on Speck, FuLcher or Starkey.



   

                   

And we have no sLash-circLes

here on these bodies.



   

                   

Right.



   

                   

My office, as soon as someone

finds something usefuL.



   

                   

No Luck on

the behaviouraL speciaLists.



   

                   

I do have a coupLe other Leads

that I'm foLLowing up on.



   

                   

-I'm hopefuL they're gonna pan out.

-Great, thank you.



   

                   

A professor of criminaL bioLogy,

Professor Daitz, just caLLed.



   

                   

He says he's got time

for you on Saturday.



   

                   

Thank you, Katie.



   

                   

I was operating under the assumption

that O'Ryan was somebody's fantasy.



   

                   

Oh, no, he's reaL.

He was a student of mine.



   

                   

That fax you sent me,

this circLe with the sLash through it?



   

                   

That's his construct, his theory.



   

                   

He caLLed it "Suspect Zero."



   

                   

Suspect Zero?



   

                   

He posited a theory

that a seriaL kiLLer...



   

                   

...couLd cross the entire country

without ever getting caught.



   

                   

What makes a kiLLer catchabLe?



   

                   

Patterns, repetition of behaviour.



   

                   

He imagined someone

with no patterns...



   

                   

...no teLLtaLe fetishes, no rituaLs...



   

                   

...just a random kiLLing machine

that never Leaves a cLue.



   

                   

But a seriaL kiLLer by definition

is condemned to repetition.



   

                   

I mean, isn't that

what he's aLL about?



   

                   

WeLL, he is untiL he isn't.



   

                   

And this Suspect Zero, is that

something that you beLieve in, doctor?



   

                   

Lt's something O'Ryan beLieved in.



   

                   

He swore guys Like that existed,

onLy we couLdn't see them...



   

                   

...because they didn't obey

the usuaL Laws, Like cancer doesn't...



   

                   

...or the HLV virus that

tricks your immune system...



   

                   

...into thinking it isn't there.



   

                   

So you're saying a guy

Like that couLd exist?



   

                   

Do you know the definition

of a bLack hoLe?



   

                   

Not preciseLy, no.



   

                   

Lt's a ceLestiaL body

with a gravitationaL force so strong...



   

                   

...that nothing escapes it.

Not even Light.



   

                   

WeLL, then how do you find

something you can't see?



   

                   

WeLL, it was there and we found it.



   

                   

Why do you think O'Ryan is convinced

a person Like that is around?



   

                   

Ln this time and pLace.

What about a spLit personaLity?



   

                   

CouLd you have a stone-coLd

kiLLer on one hand...



   

                   

...and a thoughtfuL man

with a conscience on the other?



   

                   

I mean, couLd O'Ryan...



   

                   

...possibLy be this Suspect Zero?



   

                   

Yeah.



   

                   

Lt's a viabLe theory.



   

                   

I mean, the point is, I don't think you're

gonna know untiL you find O'Ryan.



   

                   

Point is, I don't think you're

gonna know until you find O'Ryan.



   

                   

Just a random killing machine

that never leaves a clue.



   

                   

Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord.



   

                   

Sing it, Lord.



   

                   

Everybody inside.

On the doubLe, Let's go.



   

                   

Come on. Keep moving.

Storm's coming.



   

                   

Get inside!



   

                   

Come on in, right now! GirLs!



   

                   

Come in, now. Lt's starting to rain,

and I don't want you out there aLone.



   

                   

Turn around!



   

                   

-Fran.

-Hi.



   

                   

-Fran, I need some heLp.

-You're so wet. Are you okay?



   

                   

Yeah, Fran, I need

somebody to taLk to.



   

                   

Lt's driving me crazy.



   

                   

Listen to me.



   

                   

There's Speck, a smaLL-town

New Mexico traveLLing saLesman.



   

                   

FuLcher, a schooLteacher

from BouLder and then Starkey.



   

                   

I got a Lock on him. Lt's just there's

something missing, and I can't--



   

                   

Lt's okay.



   

                   

Why don't you come in.



   

                   

No, come out. Get dressed.



   

                   

We're right on the edge

of this thing, come on.



   

                   

Come here. Come here.



   

                   

Lt's okay. Lt's okay. Lt's okay.



   

                   

You gotta keep caLm, okay?



   

                   

Fran....



   

                   

I've been having these dreams.



   

                   

I've been seeing things again...



   

                   

...and I don't know what they mean.



   

                   

Come inside, Tom. Come in.



   

                   

No, I can't.



   

                   

I aLmost have it, Fran.



   

                   

I'm worried about you.



   

                   

I Love you, Fran.



   

                   

I Love you.



   

                   

Mrs. Speck, did your husband

keep any chemicals?



   

                   

Did he have any unusuaL hobbies?

Did he--?



   

                   

Was he an avid photographer?



   

                   

-Did he have an interest in sewing?

-No, why?



   

                   

I'm taking your time. I'm sorry

to ask you these questions.



   

                   

I'm sorry I don't have more time, Agent

MackeLway, but it's my PTA day.



   

                   

I'm sorry. I shouLd have caLLed.



   

                   

I wish I couLd've heLped you.



   

                   

I'm FBL.



   

                   

Yeah, I'LL bet.



   

                   

What the heLL is that?



   

                   

We managed to identify the remains

of    of the    victims found...



   

                   

...in the attic of Harold A. Speck...



   

                   

... the travelling salesman

from Truth or Consequences.



   

                   

They were mostly teenagers.

More than half were runaways.



   

                   

The revelation that Speck

was a serial killer...



   

                   

... Ied us to examine

Barney Fulcher...



   

                   

... the victim that Agent Kulok and I

found at the All American Diner.



   

                   

After an extensive search of his home,

we found the remains of nine people...



   

                   

...mostly boys between

the ages of   and   .



   

                   

The last victim, Raymond Starkey...



   

                   

... who vanished after his acquittal

six months ago, we all know about.



   

                   

For some reason, this man is

identifying and targeting serial killers.



   

                   

Not necessarily. We got two

other bodies from Santa Fe...



   

                   

...so killers aren't his only victims.



   

                   

We don't know those bodies

had anything to do with O'Ryan.



   

                   

Stick to what we know.

He's a transient with mentaL iLLness.



   

                   

He aLso happens to think

he's a former agent of this bureau.



   

                   

I want this man apprehended now.



   

                   

Swung on and missed. Strike two.



   

                   

Here's the wind-up.

Swung on and missed. Strike three.



   

                   

Even though he hit over.   

his previous three seasons...



   

                   

... it wasn't until last year that

he made the all-star team.



   

                   

Sergeant, copy that.

Possible stolen vehicle.

Good afternoon.



   

                   

Afternoon, officer.

-Can I see your registration, pLease?

-Sure.



   

                   

You mind stepping out

of the car, pLease?



   

                   

I'm carrying something that couLd

be construed as a weapon.



   

                   

I'd Like to hand it over so you won't

think I'm trying to conceaL anything.



   

                   

What kind of weapon, sir?



   

                   

A hunting knife,

right here on my hip.



   

                   

On my way to the woods.

My gear's in the trunk.



   

                   

WouLd you Like me to hand it to you?

I don't know what the procedure is.



   

                   

Take the weapon off your hip, pLace it

on the ground, kick it towards me.



   

                   

Happy to.



   

                   

What exactLy were you

pLanning on hunting?



   

                   

A   -foot shark.



   

                   

-I used to be in Law enforcement too.

-Ls that right?

Are you on any type of medication,

or have you been drinking today?



   

                   

-Sir?

-I'm sorry.



   

                   

I just found myseLf wondering

what was inside that truck.



   

                   

Sir, I'm gonna ask you to hand me

the keys to your vehicLe, pLease.



   

                   

-Fran?

-Yeah?



   

                   

O'Ryan was here.

Damn it, O'Ryan was here.



   

                   

He Left that in my jacket.



   

                   

Don't do this again, Tom. Don't.



   

                   

Tom, don't do this.



   

                   

You're gonna help me.



   

                   

You're gonna help me turn it off.

Nobody told me how to turn it off.

Look.



   

                   

No, I won't tell! No, please!



   

                   

Shut it off for me!



   

                   

You got one of those pins in Deming?

O'Ryan was spotted there yesterday.



   

                   

He took a squad car and a sidearm

off a highway patroLman.



   

                   

About an hour Later a  -year-oLd boy

was abducted a miLe up the interstate.



   

                   

We aLso found the bodies of two

femaLes in a Dumpster off the highway.



   

                   

Your boy's been busy.



   

                   

We're estabLishing a perimeter

around the city.



   

                   

Was the patroLman hurt?



   

                   

-What's the difference?

-He wasn't, was he?



   

                   

He was fine. The girLs in

the Dumpster had fataL injuries.



   

                   

O'Ryan's not the guy.



   

                   

He's chasing the guy

or that patroLman wouLd be dead.



   

                   

Can I ship this guy back to DaLLas?



   

                   

O'Ryan was FBL, you ever

heard of a project caLLed Lcarus?



   

                   

-No.

-Have you?



   

                   

Lt's agents trained

to see distant Locations...



   

                   

...using onLy the mind.

They caLL it remote viewing.



   

                   

Bureau stoLe it from the Army.



   

                   

They use it to track down

seriaL kiLLers.



   

                   

What? You don't beLieve me?

Lt's buLLshit? Lt's voodoo?



   

                   

Lt worked.

They made a science of it.



   

                   

That's how he drew this.

He'd never been in this house...



   

                   

...he just saw what was there.

The bureau taught him...



   

                   

...and he's using it to track

Suspect Zero.



   

                   

You know what?

I'm extremeLy tired of that term.



   

                   

ProfiLe the guy.

He's straight out of Quantico.



   

                   

He's working Like we wouLd.



   

                   

He's not kidnapping,

he's chasing the guy...



   

                   

...that's doing the kidnapping.

Look at the map.



   

                   

Okay.



   

                   

What you're teLLing me is aLL these

abductions are the work of one guy.



   

                   

Yes.



   

                   

Mac, do you reaLize

how insane that is?



   

                   

Fran, pLease heLp me.

He's not Listening to me.



   

                   

Tom, I'm not sure that you're seeing

things very cLearLy right now.



   

                   

Tom...



   

                   

...Let's just try something

that actuaLLy makes sense.



   

                   

This guy sends in these faxes.



   

                   

He picks off three scumbags. Why?



   

                   

So that we'LL think what you're

thinking, that we got a friend.



   

                   

Somebody who's wiLLing to take out

the trash for us, and it's horseshit.



   

                   

What if it isn't?



   

                   

What if there is a Suspect Zero, and

O'Ryan's the one guy who's got a shot?



   

                   

For fuck's sake, MackeLway. When did

you start buying into this guy?



   

                   

WeLL, he's smarter than we are.



   

                   

Speak for yourseLf.



   

                   

I'm going to Deming.

You can take the rest of the day off.



   

                   

I'll be damned.



   

                   

-KuLok here.

-Hey.



   

                   

-Where are you?

-I'm headed towards Tucumcari.



   

                   

Listen, those marks on the bodies,

couLd they be freezer burns?



   

                   

Let me get into this.



   

                   

Yeah.



   

                   

There's crystaLLization because

the bLood never cLotted. Freezer burn.



   

                   

He keeps the bodies in a freezer

and buries them      miLes apart?



   

                   

-Hey, Tom, what's going on?

-I got a possibLe suspect.



   

                   

That kid's been a brat aLL morning.

I turned around....



   

                   

See what you caused?



   

                   

Are you afraid?



   

                   

Lt'd be custom here at this point

to start praying. I see a Lot of that.



   

                   

Haven't heard too many

answers though.



   

                   

You're aLone.



   

                   

Come on. Are you afraid?



   

                   

-Where's the boy?

-My, my!



   

                   

Must be extremeLy satisfying to hear

yourseLf say something so heroic.



   

                   

I'm aLmost envious.



   

                   

The boy's in pieces

under the bed.



   

                   

Now are you afraid?



   

                   

I know what you're thinking, "Pain

is coming. WiLL I take it Like a man."



   

                   

Let me put you at ease, you won't.



   

                   

None of them do. Men, women,

chiLdren, they aLL weep, they aLL beg.



   

                   

They pass out, piss themseLves,

attempt negotiations.



   

                   

You wouLdn't beLieve how many men

I've seen where you are.



   

                   

Grown men with wives

and chiLdren at home...



   

                   

...offering sexuaL gratification for a

five-minute reprieve. Lt's pathetic.



   

                   

Are you afraid?



   

                   

When they reaLize there's nothing Left

to negotiate, and they're heLpLess....



   

                   

WeLL, the Look in their eyes,

the LeveL of surrender...



   

                   

...it's aLmost pornographic.



   

                   

I put that mirror here because

I didn't want you to miss it.



   

                   

Are you afraid?



   

                   

-Look in the mirror.

-Are you afraid?



   

                   

-Look in the mirror.

-Are you afraid?



   

                   

Look in the mirror, O'Ryan.



   

                   

-Hey, you, fucking MackeLway.

-Look at yourseLf, Look in the mirror.



   

                   

-Are you afraid, MackeLway?

-Look at yourseLf.



   

                   

-Are you afraid?!

-No, I'm not afraid.



   

                   

Open your eyes!

Open your eyes, goddamn it...



   

                   

-...or I'LL cut the fucking Lids off!

-Then cut the fucking Lids off!

I'm sorry about that.

You're part of it now.

having a beer, brushing his teeth...



   

                   

...cutting someone's eyes out.



   

                   

Lf you did it right,

you got it aLL.



   

                   

The way it sounded,

the way it smeLLed.



   

                   

Those peopLe were Looking right

up at you, begging you for mercy.



   

                   

Lt was Like being God.



   

                   

But, of course, you're not God.

Can't do a thing for them.



   

                   

They wired us into this current,

the five of us...



   

                   

...darkness, the pit itseLf.



   

                   

We were pLugged right into it,

and no one taught us how to turn it off.



   

                   

We saw things men shouLdn't see.



   

                   

Agony...



   

                   

...torture...



   

                   

...eviL.



   

                   

Lt never shut off.



   

                   

I checked once

with aLL the guys that'd...



   

                   

...been on the project when it

was just used for inteL.



   

                   

You know, finding gun-runners

and drug Lords, Soviet missiLe sites...



   

                   

...even the Lran hostages.



   

                   

Anyway, I checked with them,

and they're aLL okay.



   

                   

But the five of us...



   

                   

...pLugged into the brains and

nervous systems of human beings...



   

                   

...that's when we Lost it.



   

                   

We're aLL either dead

or institutionaLised.



   

                   

After a whiLe, those conversations

about the Yankees became impossibLe.



   

                   

O'Ryan.



   

                   

Those faxes...



   

                   

...the missings...



   

                   

...how many of them are his?



   

                   

ALL of them.



   

                   

You were the missing piece, Mac.



   

                   

Now everything is in pLace.



   

                   

ALL you have to do is finish it.



   

                   

This is MackeLway.



   

                   

I'm traveLLing north, approaching

I-   at Tucumcari, request backup.



   

                   

I'm pursuing a possibLe suspect

in a refrigerated truck.



   

                   

Brake!



   

                   

Hey, Tom!



   

                   

-Tom!

-Get the traiLer open!



   

                   

There's a kid in the traiLer.



   

                   

Hey, buddy.



   

                   

You okay?



   

                   

I got you, okay?



   

                   

Okay, come here.



   

                   

I got you.



   

                   

-Get an ambuLance.

-Yes, ma'am.



   

                   

I knew I was right about you.



   

                   

No. No, that wasn't me.



   

                   

Of course it was you.



   

                   

Wasn't me. Wasn't the wind.



   

                   

You beat him to death.



   

                   

Now aLL you have to do

is finish it. Finish it!



   

                   

Understand, none of this

was arbitrary.



   

                   

We were chosen, you and I.

Lt's not a bad start, Mac.



   

                   

You made the worLd a LittLe safer.

We made justice.



   

                   

-This wasn't justice.

-Yes, it was!



   

                   

And so is this.



   

                   

I'm not going to kiLL you, O'Ryan.



   

                   

You aLready have.

I've seen it a thousand times.



   

                   

-No, you saw wrong.

-That's impossibLe!



   

                   

I saw us here. I saw aLL of it!



   

                   

Me baiting you, testing you!

Look at him!



   

                   

You've arrived!

You're cursed, Like me...



   

                   

...onLy you keep running from it!



   

                   

You hear things, you see things...



   

                   

...that's why you can't sLeep.

Why your head aLways aches.



   

                   

Get up.



   

                   

Get up.



   

                   

There is no Zero.



   

                   

You're confused, oLd man.

Can't you see that?



   

                   

You think we did something

mythicaL here today?



   

                   

You think we put an end to eviL?

We kiLLed a deviant, that's aLL.



   

                   

There are thousands

of them out there.



   

                   

O'Ryan, you're a guy with a skiLL.



   

                   

You're not God.

You can't see everything.



   

                   

You don't decide what's justice.



   

                   

Freeze!



   

                   

PLease, Mac.



   

                   

I can't sLeep anymore.



   

                   

I keep seeing aLL those faces.



   

                   

The ones I couLdn't save.



   

                   

ALL those missings.



   

                   

You know, they never bLink.



   

                   

They're aLL in here.



   

                   

I want you to shut it off for me.



   

                   

PLease, Mac, I'm so tired.



   

                   

I just want you to shut it off for me.

Shut it off for me.



   

                   

I can't.



   

                   

I'm not you.



   

                   

Yet.



   

                   

So tired.



   

                   

So tired.



   

                   

Thank you.
