This is where the wealthy
and the powerful rule.

It is her world,

a world apart from mine.

Her name... is Catherine.

From the moment I saw her,
she captured my heart

with her beauty,

her warmth and her courage.

I knew then, as I know now,

she would change my life...

forever.

He comes from a secret place,
far below the city streets,



hiding his face from strangers,

safe from hate and harm.

He brought me there
to save my life.

And now, wherever I go,
he is with me in spirit,

for we have a bond stronger
than friendship or love.

And although
we cannot be together,

we will never, ever be apart.

I look out on the city
of night,

and tonight
I am one with it.

I see the pathways
and crossroads.

the rush of possibilities,

and I feel every point
of light that is a life,

each with its wonders
and terrors.

I see how, in a single night,



a world can be transformed.

How in one terrifying
and wondrous moment

my world was transformed.

On a night as dark
and glittering as this,

two years ago,
I found Catherine.

Two years ago tonight.

I thought maybe we
could go inside...

by the fire.

It's warm.

You have reached 555-8291.

Please leave a message
after the beep.

Are you there?
It's Jenny.

Cathy, pick up the phone
if you're there.

Cathy, pick up the phone.

Yeah, Jenn, I'm here.
What's wrong?

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine. Why?

I don't know.

I just had one
of those weird dreams,

and you were in it.

Well, I'm fine.

You're sure?

Positive.

Why are you awake?

Go back to sleep, Jenn.

Hello.

Cathy...

I can see you.

And I can see him, too.

Get off the balcony.
What is it?

Someone's watching.

Go!

I'll meet you down below.

Please, Vincent, go!

You have reached 555-8291.

Please leave a message
after the beep.

Open the drapes.

Open the drapes, Cathy.

Do you have any idea
who it might be?

There was a call

on my answering machine
yesterday.

I... I didn't think
anything of it.

I just thought it was
just a prank call.

What do we do now?

I can't go to the police.

We can't take that chance.

We don't know
what he has.

I mean, maybe he
took pictures.

Vincent...

the balcony isn't
safe anymore.

That was the only part
of my world that belonged to us.

I will not let him destroy it.

Vincent, someone has seen you.

If you got to her
he'll see you again.

How can I leave
her alone?

She must be protected.

If she is in danger,

we'll find a way
to protect her.

There are other ways.

This is Catherine.

I must protect her.

Of course.

And what is she doing
to find this man?

All she can,

but she's alone in this.

She refuses to seek help.

She's afraid for me,
for our secret.

And he probably knows that.

And will use it to torment her.

I didn't like your hair.

Don't wear it that way again.

I liked that red sweater
you wore today,

but I didn't like your hair.

Don't wear it that way again.

...I didn't like your hair.

Don't wear it that way again.

Open the drapes.

Open the drapes.

I liked that red sweater
you wore today,

but I didn't like your hair.

Don't wear it that way...

I liked that red sweater
you wore...

Forgetting something
this morning, Radcliffe?

Brian Crater--
his deposition?

Oh, my God.
I am so sorry.

It's okay, I got it.

Dave caught me
on the way by.

That's for you.

Thank you.

Look, is there something
going on here

I should know about?

No.

Why?

Because you missed
a deposition.

And you requested a
status list for all
your prior cases.

Jenny.

Hi. Hi, Joe.

Hi, Jenny.

What are you doing here?

Surprising you

and taking you out
to lunch, I hope.

Lunchtime already? I...

It's only 11:00.

I'm hungry.

You're always hungry.

Do you want to go over
that deposition right now?

No, no, it can wait.

Then we're on.

But I do want to know
about this.

I ordered these
just to keep my
files up to date.

But you're cute
when you're worried.

Why are you worried?

I missed an appointment.

Can we drop it?

I don't know, it was
just a crazy dream.

I... I feel like I'm
putting a curse on you.

I am going to throw
something at you

if you don't tell me
about this dream.

Come on, Jenn.

Not all your bad dreams
come true.

Um...

Okay, you were...

well, I don't know
where you were,

but there were flowers
all around

and, um... all of a sudden
the lights went out

and you were in the dark,

and you were trying to move,
but you couldn't,

and there was this hand,

but it wasn't connected
to anything

and it was trying to touch you.

Mm-hmm.

And, uh...

you wanted to scream,
but you couldn't.

A severed hand comes at me,
I'm going to scream.

Guaranteed, I will scream.

Okay, so you started running...

And the hand
is still after me?

I don't know, Cath.

You were running, and I don't
know whether the...

You were running from someone
or maybe to someone,

but you couldn't catch your
breath, you couldn't breathe.

And then what?

I woke up.

I guess I needed to hear
the sound of your voice,

so I called you.

What?

It is so strange
you have these dreams.

Why?

About a minute after you called,

I got another call,
from some guy.

Who?

I don't know.
I don't know who he is.

He just...

He said something
that scared me.

What did he say?

Oh, it's not important.

But if I find out who he is,
I'm going to strangle him

and then your dream
will have a happy ending.

Oh, my God,
I can't believe you said that.

What?
I didn't want

to tell you that
is what I saw.

You couldn't breathe.

There was something
around your neck.

You were trying
to pull it off.

You were being
strangled.

You died, Cathy.

Cathy?

Cathy, are you
ready for this?

The judge just
threw out the
Santos case.

It was a defect in
the search warrant.

What are we
going to do?

File an appeal,
I guess.

You don't think we
can get a conviction

without the notebook?

There were flowers everywhere.

Or maybe we can

track down the accountant,
try to get him to testify.

What do you think?

Thanks, but I'm
a happily married man.

Excuse me?

Don't ask.

File an appeal.

Reel him in,
Radcliffe.

"You're starting
to feel me with you,

"aren't you?

"Could you feel me in your room
last night?

I was there."

You got a second?

Yeah, sure.

Come on in.

What's up?

If...

Let's say

someone called you in
the middle of the night

and then hung up.

How would you go about
finding that person?

Oh, what did this person say?

Nothing really.

Just... I want to find him.

You know what department
policy is on this.

I don't want
the police involved.

Have you called
the phone company?

Yeah. They said...

Actually, they said
there's gonna be some new things

on the market this summer,
but right now I'm on my own.

Unless I want

to change
my number.
That's a possibility.

No, I want to find him.

What about a wiretap?

No.

Tracing unit?
I ordered one.

It's going to be installed
tomorrow,

but I don't know if he'll stay
on the line long enough.

Does this have anything to do
with ordering that list

of your prior cases?

I don't think it's a prior case.

Is he threatening you?

Come on, Cathy--
what's this guy saying?

Nothing.

Benign things.

Like what?

Like benign things.

Like give me an example.

Like "I like your sweater."

Hate your hair--"
I don't know!

Call the cops.

Why?

Because he's watching you.

No.

Cathy, call Greg Hughs
right now.

Joe...

I don't want to overreact.

People like this fantasize,

but they don't really
ever do anything.

Would you like me
to pull some files

with some
not-so-pretty pictures?

You don't fool around
with creeps like this.

What does this guy got on you?

My phone number, my address.

Where are you keeping your gun?

In my nightstand.

Carry it.

In your purse.

Did he contact you?

He sent me flowers.

It was more than
just flowers.

He knows about you.

About us.

And until we find out
what he wants...

He wants you, Catherine.

Vincent,
you have to stay away.

I feel your fear.

How do I leave you
alone with that?

Because I can handle fear.

But if something happened
to you...

Come below tonight.
I can't.

I can't let him
do that to me.

I can't.

We're alone in this.

Why aren't you there?

You're with him, aren't you?

Of course you are.

Why do I even ask?

Whore.

No more.

Okay, Cathy?

No more.

Who is it?

It's me, Joe.

Joe!
Hey...

Did you see him?

Who?
Him! He was here!

Wait here.

No, Joe!

He's got my gun!

Did he hurt you?

No.

Did you see him?
No.

What are you doing?

You know what I'm doing.
I'm calling the police.

No!
Yes!

I am not going to wake
up to a phone call

that says this
guy got to you.

New York 33rd.

Yeah, Greg
Hughs, please.

Okay.

That ought to take
care of it.

Great.

Here's your keys.
Oh, thanks.

And that's
60 bucks.

Sixty...

Sixty.

All right, thanks.
Thank you.

That's, uh, that's
a good lock.

She shouldn't
have any problems.

Okay, great.
Thanks again.

Yep.

Okay, I think we got
everything we're going
to get tonight.

Did you find
anything?

No, it's pretty clean.

If we do get lucky
on any of the prints,

it won't be
until late tomorrow.

Well, if you do come
up with something,

I'd like the information
to go directly to Cathy.

And if you can't
find her, then I'd
like it to go to me.

Nobody else, okay?

Sure.

Thank you, Greg.

You want a cop
outside?

No.

No.

Can't live with them,
can't live without them.

Thanks, Greg.

Thanks a lot.

Greg...

I owe you a favor.

Uh, don't file
a report, okay?

Okay.

Thank you.

So what's on tonight?

Nothing.

Radcliffe...

Listen, Joe...
I'm not leaving.

I'm gonna sleep right there,

on that short,
little, dinky couch.

No, you're not.

Yes, I am.

No, you're not.

Why not?

I have my reasons.

Whatever it is, Cathy,
we can get you out of it.

No, we can't.

Okay.

Here's your keys.

Lock your door.

Put one of
your chairs

in front of it.

Second thought, put one of
your couches in front of it.

Lock it.

Good night.

This way.

That's not my apartment.

You're with him, aren't you?

Of course you are.

Why do I even ask?

He wants you, Catherine.

I liked that red sweater
you wore today, but...

I didn't like your hair.

Don't wear it that way again.

Where you keeping your gun?

I can see you.

You don't fool around
with creeps like this.

Whore.

You died, Cathy.

Why aren't you there?

You died, Cathy.

Why aren't you there?

You died, Cathy.

Come on.

Cathy?!

Radcliffe?!

Cathy, it's me, Joe!

You here?!

Cath?

Hello?

Who is this?

Who is this?
Jenny.

Jenny, it's Joe.
Do you know where Cathy is?

No. But she is in trouble.

You're going to
him, aren't you?

I knew you would.

You'll go to him, but
you won't come to me.

No more, Cathy.

I like it here.

I used to play here
when I was a kid.

Now you'll be here,
and I'll come visit you.

No.

No.

No!

Joe, we just
got a call.
Did you find her?

The car may have been spotted
out near Stanley Point.

What about Cathy?
I don't know.

Too late.

You're too late.

Mother.

Mother.

Oh, Catherine.

I love you.

Bring one of those
flashlights for me.

You need to move
that ambulance back.

And, uh,
he's got a record

but he's never gone
this far before.

See if his address
was across the park

from hers, okay?

Sure.
Thank you.

Bring it back.

Send somebody over there.

Joe Maxwell,
DA's Office.

Where's Catherine Chandler?

She's over there,
sir.

Where's that coroner?

You don't remember how you
got out of the trunk?

No.

Cathy.

Hi.
You okay?

Yeah.
You sure?

Yeah.

Would you take me home?

Yeah, sure.

You can reach her
through Greg Hughs

at the New York
33rd.

New York 33rd.
Yeah.

Okay.

What's this?

Someone gave it to
me to keep me warm.

Are you all right?
Tell me you're all right.

Yeah, I'm all right,
I'm fine, just tired.

Can you stay with her
tonight, Jenny?
Yes!

- No.
- Yes!

You really scared me
tonight, Radcliffe.

What about the door?

They're going to fix it
tomorrow morning.
All right,

I'll leave a cop
downstairs.

What happened to my door?

I kicked it in.

Good night.

Thanks, Joe.

What can I get for you?

Oh, Jenny, I'm
really okay.

You don't have to stay.

I know, but I am.

Jen...
No, I'm staying.

So, what can...
Jen!

I'm not going to be alone.

Oh.

You're not going to be alone?

Well, um...

What am I doing here?

I sure am glad
that you're okay.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Bye-bye.
Bye.

I felt you go.

I felt you go.

Hold me tighter.

Tighter.

Someone else could
be watching.

Perhaps.

We can't be afraid,
can we?

We can't let that stop us.

This balcony is our window.

Our vantage point.

And... perhaps, Catherine,

someone behind one
of those lights is watching...

...and smiling on us.

Perhaps they are.

How do you feel now?

Are you still afraid?

No.

Just very grateful.

We've endured... much.

Yes, we have.

And I know in the deepest
part of who I am

that whatever happens
now, Vincent,

we will endure.

We will.
