FREAK, YOU GO SEE E!
[Moaning, Crying]
[Toilet Flushing]

WHERE'S E? WHAT'D YOU DO?
YOU NO SAY PEEP.
OR NEXT, IT'S YOU.
[Screams]
[Train Wheels
Screeching] OH, NO!
[Chattering, Phone Ringing]
HOLLIS.
CAN I ASK YOU TO STAND UP AND
STEP BACK FROM YOUR DESK, PLEASE.
- WHAT?
- I DON'T WANT TO MAKE THIS
EMBARRASSING FOR ANY OF US.
- WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
- SAVE WHATEVER FILE
YOU'RE WORKING ON,
TURN OFF YOUR COMPUTER, STAND UP
AND STEP BACK FROM YOUR DESK, PLEASE.
- WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON?
- I THINK YOU'LL FIND THIS WILL
GO EASIER ON YOU...
- IF YOU JUST TELL THE TRUTH.
- ABOUT WHAT?
ABOUT WHAT? THAT'S
MY MAIL, BARRY.
STAY IN TOWN.
I'M WAITING FOR MY BUREAU REP,
WHO TELLS ME NOT
TO TALK TO ANYONE.
- ANYONE TELL YOU ANYTHING?
- NOT A CLUE.
HAVE THEY TOLD YOU?
THEY TOOK MY COMPUTER.
THEY TOOK MY MAIL, FRANK.
WELL, TECHNICALLY,
ANYTHING IN THIS BUILDING
CAN BE SEIZED AS
GOVERNMENT PROPERTY.
- PERSONAL MAIL?
- [Scoffs]
SO THE RIGHTS WE'RE PROTECTING,
WE DON'T EVEN HAVE OURSELVES.
FRANK, COULD I SEE
YOU FOR A MINUTE?
HANG TOUGH.
THIS IS AN O.P.R. INVESTIGATION. YOU
KNOW NOBODY CAN GET THE DETAILS.
I'VE WORKED A HALF A DOZEN
CASES WITH THIS WOMAN.
I KNOW HER ENOUGH TO KNOW
THAT THIS IS UNWARRANTED.
WE DIDN'T ENTER
THIS LIGHTLY, FRANK.
WE HAD ENOUGH INDICATION ON THIS.
WE HAD NO CHOICE. WE HAD TO MOVE.
INDICATIONS OF
WHAT? [Takes Deep Breath]
WAIT A MINUTE. I STILL HAVE ENOUGH
CONTACTS AROUND HERE TO FIND OUT, ANDY.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA DO
THIS JUST TO SLOW ME DOWN?
- SHE FAILED A RANDOM DRUG TEST.
- THAT'S ABSURD!
I HAD 'EM RUN IT TWICE, FRANK.
WHAT WAS SHE TESTED FOR?
HEROIN. WE ARE NOT BEING STUPID
HERE, AND WE'RE NOT BEING HASTY.
WE WON'T PRESS CHARGES
TILL WE'RE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN.
JUST THE ACCUSATION
COULD RUIN HER.
I WILL DO EVERYTHING IN
MY POWER TO MAKE SURE
THIS INVESTIGATION IS
THOROUGH AND FAIR...
BUT WHEN SHE'S FINISHED WITH HER BUREAU
REP, THEY WANT ME TO SEND HER HOME.
I WANT TO TALK TO HER PRIVATELY
ABOUT IT. FRANK, IF YOU TALK TO HER,
ANYTHING YOU HEAR WILL GO STRAIGHT
TO THE O.P.R., AND YOU KNOW THAT.
I DON'T THINK YOU WANT TO
PUT YOURSELF IN THAT POSITION.
I'LL MAKE UP MY OWN MIND ABOUT
WHAT POSITION I'LL BE PUT IN, ANDY. OKAY?
[Phone Ringing]
McCLAREN. YEAH.
ARE YOU SURE?
YEAH, WELL, YOU BE DOUBLE SURE BEFORE YOU
PUT THAT OUT TO ANYBODY, YOU UNDERSTAND?
GOOD. [Hangs Up Receiver]
[Sighs]
IT'S BALDWIN. HE SAYS
THEY FOUND A SMALL
BINDLE OF WHITE POWDER
IN HER PERSONAL EFFECTS.
[Scoffs]
[Phones Ringing]
[Chattering] AGENT HOLLIS.
EMMA. I'VE BEEN INSTRUCTED
NOT TO TALK TO ANYONE.
I KNOW. I ALSO KNOW YOU'RE NOT
A BIG FOLLOWER OF INSTRUCTIONS.
YEAH, WELL WHY DON'T YOU TELL THE GESTAPO
IN THERE THAT I'M NOT A JUNKIE EITHER!
WHY DON'T YOU GIVE ME SOME
HELP? LOOK, I'VE GOT NOTHING TO SAY.
VANCOUVER, CANADA.
A RESEALED ENVELOPE WITH THAT
POSTMARK WAS ADDRESSED TO YOU.
- [Inhales] THAT'S PERSONAL BUSINESS.
- THE CONTENTS AS WELL?
COME ON. ARE YOU
GONNA TALK TO ME, EMMA?
I THINK I'LL TAKE THE ADVICE I WAS
GIVEN AND WAIT FOR MY LAWYER.
I'M NOT LOOKING TO SCORE.
I'M TRYING TO FIND SOMEONE.
WHAT, ARE YOU
LOOKING FOR A DATE?
NO. I'M LOOKING FOR A GIRL.
[Chuckles] TAMRA CAFFREY.
UH, SEE NOW, I DON'T
KNOW NO NAMES.
- I'VE GOT A PICTURE!
- YEAH, WELL PUT IT
ON A MILK CARTON.
LOOK! HEY! I'M TIRED,
I'VE COME A LONG WAY...
I CAN PAY YOU!
GEEZ, LADY, YOU'RE
BRAVE. AND STUPID.
HOW MUCH? HOW
MUCH YOU GOT THERE?
AH, U.S.
- WHAT'S THAT NAME AGAIN?
- TAMRA CAFFREY.
TAMRA.
- SHE ON THE STREET?
- I DON'T KNOW.
- JUST GIVE ME A MINUTE, OKAY?
- H-HEY!
[Sighs]
[Siren Wailing In Distance]
[Brakes Screeching]
T!
I BEEN LOOKIN'
EVERYWHERE FOR YOU.
- DON'T LOOK AT ME, EM.
- TAMRA, IT'S OKAY.
- DON'T HATE ME, EM.
- I DON'T HATE YOU, T.
YOU JUST HAD ME THINKIN'
THE WORST, THAT'S ALL.
THIS AIN'T FAR FROM IT.
- YOU HAVE A CHOICE, T.
- YOU GOT A CHOICE.
- MY MIND MAKES ITSELF UP.
- WHAT ABOUT YOUR FRIEND?
YOU SAID ON THE PHONE
YOU WERE AFRAID. [Sobbing]
I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE,
EMMA. [Sobbing Continues]
I DON'T KNOW IF I'M MORE
AFRAID OF LIVIN' OR DYIN'.
[Knocking]
EMMA HOLLIS. I CALLED
ABOUT TAMRA CAFFREY.
- CAN WE COME IN?
- WE'RE NOT NO GIRLS' DORMITORY.
- SHE'S IN SERIOUS NEED.
- I'M SURE YOU'RE SERIOUS.
BUT I'VE BEEN THERE
BEFORE WITH MISS T.
SEE, I TOLD YOU, EM.
LET'S JUST GO. WAIT.
SHE'S HURTING OUT HERE.
[Latches Clicking]
I GOT ONE BED. SHE
TIGHTENS UP, OR SHE LOSES IT.
HELP ME! HELP!
[Cartoon Voices Continue]
[Man On TV] THIS LITTLE DESERT RAT IS
PART OF A DIET OF A BREED OF SNAKES...
WHO ARE OFTEN FOUND IN
THE ROCKY BRUSH OF ARIZONA...
[Cell Phone Ringing]
AND SOUTHERN UTAH.
THEY ARE CONSIDERED AMONG THE HARDIEST
OF OUR LOCAL REPTILES. [Ringing Continues]
CONSTRICTORS ARE SO NAMED BECAUSE
THEY KILL THEIR PREY BY SQUEEZING.
- HELLO?
- WHAT ARE YOU DOING, HOLLIS?
- FRANK?
- I JUST GOT A CALL
THAT YOU LEFT THE COUNTRY.
- A CALL. FROM WHO?
- THEY TOLD YOU TO STAY HOME.
I'M NOT UNDER HOUSE ARREST, FRANK. IF
I'M NOT MISTAKEN, I HAVEN'T BEEN CHARGED.
THESE PEOPLE DON'T HAVE MARGINS.
THEY DON'T MAKE ALLOWANCES.
I'M FINDING THAT.
THIS LOOKS BAD.
BAD FOR THE F.B.I.
THIS MAKES IT EVEN
LOOK WORSE, EMMA.
[Filtered] I DON'T WANT YOU
TO THROW YOUR CAREER AWAY.
I'VE GOT TO GO,
FRANK. [Dial Tone]
[Man On TV
Continues, Indistinct]
[Whimpering]
[Gasping]
T?
DYIN' DON'T SEEM SO BAD AS THIS.
- YOU SENT ME AN ENVELOPE.
- MM.
[Wheezing] YOU GET IT?
I NEED TO KNOW, T,
EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED,
WHILE YOU'RE STRAIGHT.
YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME.
I'D JUST LIKE TO MAKE SURE...
THAT IT WASN'T A CASE OF THE YIPS.
EMMA, PLEASE. [Gasps]
I WANT OFF IT.
I'M WACK RIGHT NOW, BUT...
I DIDN'T MAKE IT UP. YEAH.
[Whispers] IT'S BAD STUFF, EM.
IT TURNS PEOPLE INTO MONSTERS.
WHERE'D YOU GET IT?
I CAN'T TELL MORE. I'M AFRAID.
[Sniffles]
WHO SOLD IT TO YOU?
[Whimpers] EMMA, PLEASE!
I JUST NEED A NAME.
[Groans]
HIS NAME IS PULGA.
♪♪ [Music On TV]
[Agent Scully] MULDER? THEY
WANT THE KILL SWITCH VIRUS.
WHAT DID YOU TELL THEM?
[Mulder] I DIDN'T TELL THEM ANYTHING!
I NEED TO KNOW!
DO WE HAVE IT? [Knocking]
DO WE HAVE THE KILL SWITCH?
HI. I'M SORRY TO BOTHER
YOU. I HEARD YOUR TV ON.
DO YOU KNOW PULGA?
[Train Passing]
[Tires Screeching]
[Gun Firing]
- [Karate Cry]
- [Grunts]
HEY! YOU CRAZY BITCH!
YOU WANT TO SEE HOW CRAZY?
ARE YOU PULGA? COME
ON! ARE YOU PULGA?
NO!
[Grunts] [Gun Cocking]
[Devilish Laughing]
[Emma Grunts]
I THINK I SHOULD HAVE LEFT
YOU UNDER THE ELEVATOR.
WHO THE HELL ARE YOU? [Gasping]
POKIN' YOUR NOSE IN THE
WRONG HOLES, LADY CAT.
- IS YOUR NAME PULGA?
- WHERE'D YOU HEAR THAT NAME?
FROM A JUNKIE. SHE SAYS
YOU'RE SELLING BAD SMACK.
SAY IT AGAIN.
SAY IT AGAIN AND
I'LL KILL YOU DEAD.
- I JUST DON'T WANT HER DEAD.
- [Softly] WHO?
[Siren Wailing]
[Wailing Continues]
[Siren Echoing]
EMMA HOLLIS? THERE'S A FRANK
BLACK ASKING TO TALK TO YOU.
ON THE PHONE?
[Softly] THANK YOU.
THEY SAY YOU REFUSE TO
LET A DOCTOR SEE THAT CUT.
HOW'D YOU FIND ME, FRANK?
[Sighs] ONE VANCOUVER
ADDRESS ON YOUR ROLODEX.
TAMRA CAFFREY.
THE R.C.M.P. IS VERY
FAMILIAR WITH THAT NAME.
HEY, LOOK, FRANK. THIS
DOESN'T CONCERN YOU.
THEY'RE GONNA SAY YOU FAILED TO
MENTION HER IN YOUR ACADEMY INTERVIEW.
AND WHEN YOU WERE ASKED ABOUT
FAMILY, ANY HISTORY OF FELONY CONVICTIONS,
YOU WERE LESS THAN CANDID.
I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT HER.
NOT UNTIL TWO YEARS
AGO WHEN MY COUSIN DIED.
NO ONE WAS SUPPOSED
TO EVER FIND OUT.
AN ILLEGITIMATE CHILD ISN'T EXACTLY
SOMETHING THAT TRADITIONALLY APPEARS...
IN FAMILY PHOTO ALBUMS.
IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
TO INFORM YOUR BUREAU REP.
WHAT ABOUT MY RESPONSIBILITY
TO SOMEONE IN TROUBLE?
WHO'S GOT ONE PERSON WHO EVEN
CARES ENOUGH TO TAKE HER PHONE CALL.
NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR... THAT DOESN'T
EXPLAIN YOUR POSITIVE DRUG TEST, DOES IT?
STOP IT. WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO?
I BELIEVE YOU.
THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.
[Thunder Rumbling]
SHE SENT ME... AN UNMARKED
ENVELOPE IN THE MAIL.
I OPENED THE PACKET. I TOOK A
TASTE ON THE END OF ONE FINGER.
I KNOW IT WAS... STUPID.
YEAH, IT WAS STUPID.
I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT
HOW I WAS GONNA GET IT TESTED.
TESTED FOR WHAT?
TAMRA SAYS THAT JUNKIES
HERE ARE DISAPPEARING.
THAT THERE'S HEROIN ON THE STREETS
THAT'S TURNING PEOPLE INTO MONSTERS.
- THAT'S AN OLD URBAN MYTH.
- NO, SHE SAYS SHE'S SEEN IT.
A FRIEND OF HERS, WHO SHE
SAYS A COUPLE OF DEALERS KILLED...
TO COVER IT UP.
WHO DID THIS TO YOU?
YOU'RE UNARMED, EMMA.
YOU COME UP HERE INVESTIGATING,
WITH NO LEGAL AUTHORITY WHATSOEVER.
I'M AFRAID FOR HER, FRANK.
I DON'T KNOW IF SHE
CAN STAY STRAIGHT.
[Knocking On Door]
HOW'S SHE DOIN'? SHE HATES
HER TREATMENT, BUT THEY ALL DO.
I DON'T SEE HER LOOKIN'
TO BOLT, THOUGH.
LET ME GET HER. [Beeping]
- [Phone Ringing]
- McCLAREN.
- WHERE ARE YOU?
- I'M WITH HOLLIS.
YOU WENT UP THERE.
IT WAS ON MY DIME.
OH, COME ON, FRANK. IT'S
GOT NOTHIN' TO DO WITH MONEY.
I'M CATCHIN' FLAK LEFT AND RIGHT
HERE HOW THIS THING'S BEIN' HANDLED.
- I THINK THERE ARE
MITIGATING FACTS.
- WELL, GOOD.
BECAUSE THEY'RE READY TO PUSH A
BUTTON ON HOLLIS AFTER THIS LATEST STUNT!
- THE DOPE YOU FOUND WAS
SENT TO HER FOR TESTING.
- WELL, IT'S BEEN TESTED NOW.
DID YOU FIND ANYTHING STRANGE? WHAT,
STRANGER THAN 80% PURE STREET-GRADE HEROIN?
- NOTHING BESIDES THAT?
- IT WAS CUT WITH LACTOSE
AND MANNITOL.
BABY LAXATIVE.
WHAT, THAT'S NOT THE "MITIGATING
CIRCUMSTANCE" YOU WERE REFERRING TO?
I'LL GET BACK TO YOU, ANDY.
[Hangs Up Receiver]
[Scoffs] HMM.
HER NAME WAS ELISSA. I
CALLED HER E. SHE CALLED ME T.
JUST LIKE YOU, EM.
WE MET AT ESSENCE HOUSE.
SHE WAS TRYIN' TO KICK.
ALL THESE PICTURES WERE TAKEN
LAST SUMMER, AFTER WE BOTH GOT CLEAN.
- [Both Chuckling]
- EMMA.
THERE'VE BEEN SEVEN
UNCLAIMED OR UNIDENTIFIED
BODIES OVER THE
PAST THREE WEEKS.
SIX JOHN DOES.
NONE OF THEM MATCH THE
DESCRIPTION YOU GAVE US.
THEY PUSHED HER OUT THE
WINDOW. I SAW HER LYIN' THERE.
- YOU SAW THEM PUSH HER?
- I KNOW THEY DID IT.
SHE DIDN'T JUMP, IF THAT'S
WHAT YOU'RE THINKIN'.
- HOW STRUNG OUT
WERE YOU, TAMRA?
- I WASN'T EVEN HIGH YET.
YOU'RE LOOKIN' AT
ME LIKE I'M MAKIN' IT UP.
LISTEN, YOU PUT HER IN A
VERY DIFFICULT SITUATION.
FRANK.
- WHAT SHE NEEDS IS THE TRUTH.
- I'M TELLIN' THE TRUTH!
I SAW MY FRIEND
TURN INTO A MONSTER.
YOU TOLD ME YOU WERE
GOING TO HELP ME, EMMA.
I BELIEVED YOU.
- [Moans] - T... LET HER GO.
- THIS ISN'T WHAT SHE NEEDS.
- WHAT SHE NEEDS IS ATTENTION.
MAYBE THAT'S WHAT THIS
WHOLE STORY IS ABOUT.
BECAUSE NONE OF IT'S MAKING
VERY MUCH SENSE, EMMA.
SHE'S REALLY AFRAID, FRANK.
LOOK AT WHAT YOU'RE RISKING.
FOR WHAT MIGHT TURN OUT TO
BE A JUNKIE'S DELUSIONAL FANTASY.
YOU CAN'T SAVE HER.
YOU CAN'T FIX HER.
- BUT MAYBE YOU CAN
SAVE YOURSELF, EMMA.
- FROM WHAT?
THE DELUSIONAL FANTASIES
OF McCLAREN AND THE F.B.I.?
I BELIEVE HER!
THERE ISN'T ONE SHRED OF EVIDENCE
TO SUPPORT WHAT SHE'S TELLING YOU.
YOU AND I... WE'LL GO ON LIVING.
EVERY DAY OF THAT
GIRL'S LIFE IS A GAMBLE.
AND NOW YOUR LIFE IS
BECOMING PART OF THE STAKES.
[Cell Phone Ringing]
EMMA HOLLIS. YES.
THANK YOU. WHAT?
THEY FOUND THE BODY.
[Hissing, Clicking]
[Rapid Beeping]
[Speaking Chinese]
[Man] SHE'S A FLOATER.
CAME UP UNDER THE DOCKS.
BODY HAD BEEN WEIGHTED
DOWN. CLOTHED, AS YOU CAN SEE,
BUT NO JEWELRY OR
OTHER IDENTIFICATION.
- ANY DISTINGUISHING MARKS?
- JUST THIS "E" TATTOOED HERE
ON THE BACK OF HER HAND.
DOCTOR?
BODY HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED, BUT NOT BY
IMMEDIATE FAMILY, AS ELISSA ZARITSKY.
THERE'S WATER DISTENSION
OF THE DERMAL LAYERS...
CONSISTENT WITH
PROLONGED IMMERSION,
ALONG WITH SOME EVIDENCE OF INVERTEBRATE
SCAVENGING ON THE EXPOSED SKIN.
NO SIGNS OF ANY DEGLOVING
OF THE EPIDERMIS OF THE HANDS.
SHOULD BE NO PROBLEM
MAKING A POSITIVE PRINT I.D.
SUBJECT IS CAUCASIAN, TWENTIES,
WITH SOME FAIRLY QUALITY
DENTAL WORK SOMETIME IN HER LIFE.
LAST FEW YEARS HAVE
BEEN HIGH MILEAGE.
A LOT OF I.V. DRUG USE.
PROBABLY A BIG HISTORY.
JUMPS OUT AS A
DUMP, NOT A DROWNING.
THERE'S NOTHING ELSE IN
HER OUTWARD APPEARANCE
THAT SUGGESTS
ANOTHER CAUSE OF DEATH?
- SUCH AS?
- BEFORE SHE DIED, SOMEONE
WHO WAS CLOSE TO HER SAID...
SHE'D TAKEN ON THE
CHARACTERISTICS OF A MONSTER.
[Sighs] "RIDING THE MONSTER."
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
WE'VE HAD A WAVE OF HEROIN OVERDOSES
THAT WERE PEOPLE LOOKING FOR THAT MONSTER.
IT'S BECOME SORT OF A
MYTHOLOGICAL HIGH. LIKE SEEING GOD.
YOU'VE NEVER SEEN ANY
PHYSICAL MANIFESTATION.
I SEE A LOT OF THESE.
IT'S AN EMULATION OF THE CHINESE
ANIMUS CONCEPT OF BODY DECORATION.
YOU TAKE ON THE
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE
ANIMAL, OR THE DEMON,
YOU WEAR ON YOUR SKIN.
SO THIS GIRL WAS ACTUALLY
LOOKING FOR THE MONSTER?
I DON'T KNOW IF SHE FOUND IT,
BUT SHE DEFINITELY GOT TO SEE GOD.
EXCUSE ME. EMMA.
SHE LIED TO ME, FRANK.
I'M NOT SO SURE NOW.
YOU'RE NOT SO SURE? YOU'RE
THE ONE WHO ACCUSED HER.
SOMEONE WENT TO THE TROUBLE
OF WEIGHING ELISSA'S BODY DOWN.
SOMEONE TRYING TO HIDE SOMETHING.
BUT THERE'S NOTHING TO HIDE.
YOU HEARD WHAT THE
CORONER SAID. HE SAID
THERE'S NO PHYSICAL
MANIFESTATION OF THE EFFECT.
WHAT IF THE EFFECT IS TEMPORARY?
TEMPORARY DISTORTION OF THE HUMAN FORM?
A MONSTER WITHIN...
BROUGHT ON BY THE DRUG.
McCLAREN SAID THE F.B.I. DRUG
TEST TURNED UP NOTHING SPECIAL.
MAYBE BECAUSE THEY DON'T
KNOW WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR.
[Slaps Hood Of Car]
WHAT'S HE WANT? HE
WANTS TO TALK TO ME.
[Exhales Sharply]
[Speaking Chinese]
IT WOULDN'T HAVE SHOWN
UP IN YOUR DRUG TEST, ANDY.
YOUR TESTS ARE NOT SPECIFIC
ENOUGH TO FIND WHAT I'M LOOKING AT.
- YEAH. WHAT ARE YOU LOOKIN' AT?
- A TISSUE SAMPLE FROM
A HARD-CORE USER,
SHOWING AN ACCUMULATION OF A
STRANGE AND FOREIGN HORMONE...
IN THE WOMAN'S SKIN
CELLS. OKAY, I TRUST YOU.
[Sighs] THE HORMONE'S BEEN
CHEMICALLY ATTACHED TO EITHER...
THE LACTOSE, OR
THE OPIATE ITSELF...
USING SOME VERY
SOPHISTICATED SCIENCE.
THIS IS WHAT EMMA WAS
TRYING TO INVESTIGATE.
THIS IS THE REASON SHE
WAS IN POSSESSION OF DRUGS.
YEAH. FRANK, JUST HOLD ON. I KNOW YOU'RE
ON TO SOMETHING THERE, BUT THERE'S NO NEED.
- WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "NO NEED"?
- THE O.P.R. INVESTIGATION OF
AGENT HOLLIS HAS BEEN DROPPED.
SINCE WHEN? WELL, I GOT THE
CALL WHEN I WAS ON MY WAY HOME.
THEY WANT ME TO DRAFT
A FULL APOLOGY TO EMMA.
WHERE DID THIS COME FROM? I
DON'T KNOW. FRANKLY, I DON'T CARE.
WAIT A MINUTE. THE O.P.R.
DID THIS INDEPENDENTLY?
WELL, I GUESS IT COMES
FROM D.O.J., MAYBE HIGHER.
THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE?
DON'T YOU FIND THAT WEIRD, ANDY?
LOOK, I JUST WANT YOU TO GET YOUR
BEHINDS ON THE NEXT PLANE HOME. OKAY?
HEY. GO FIND TAMRA.
- WHY?
- BECAUSE HER LIFE'S IN DANGER.
[Man] HOLD ON! HOLD ON!
[Pounding Continues]
HOLD ON, I'M COMING.
I NEED TO SEE T.
T's OUT. SHE DIDN'T MAKE CURFEW.
SHE'S NOT IN HER ROOM?
IT'S NOT HER ROOM ANYMORE.
THOSE ARE THE RULES.
OUT WITH WHO? DID SHE SAY?
DIDN'T ASK. SHE DIDN'T SAY.
YOU WANT TO SEE THE
MONSTER? [Panicky Breathing]
[Brakes Squeal]
[Whimpering]
JOHNNY'S GONNA SHOW YOU
WHERE THAT MONSTER LIVES.
[Sobbing] WAIT, NO.
T?
TAMRA?
[Sobbing] OKAY. DON'T!
[Gasping, Moaning]
[Screaming]
TAMRA CAFFREY?
[Trains Rumbling]
[Chinese]
[Moaning]
[Pounding] HEY! LOOK UP!
HEY! FREAKIN' MONSTER.
[Whimpering]
[Tapping Keys] [Beeps]
DETECTIVE, I ASKED YOU
FOR THE PRIME MOVERS
OF HEROIN IN B.C., AND
YOU GAVE ME THIS MAN.
- WHY?
- WING HO. HE'S A CHEMIST FOR
ONE OF THE HONG KONG TRIADS.
THERE'S A MUG SHOT, BUT
NO RECORD. NO INFORMATION.
I BELIEVE HE'S A DEEP COVER
INFORMANT FOR YOUR U.S. D.E.A.
- HOW DID THEY TURN HIM?
- HE PATRIATED HERE FROM
CANTON PROVINCE IN 1993.
HIS BROTHER WAS ORDERED
EXECUTED BY THE DAI LO IN TAIWAN.
ORDINARILY, THEIR GUAN XI
CODE WOULD KEEP HIM QUIET,
BUT HO COULDN'T FORGIVE
HIS BROTHER'S DEATH.
- COULDN'T FORGIVE THE DAI LO.
- YEAH.
[Dial Tone, Beeping]
WHO ARE YOU CALLING?
THE ASSISTANT
DIRECTOR OF THE F.B.I.
PUT SOME PRESSURE ON THE D.E.A. FIND
A 20 ON THEIR INFORMANT. [Line Ringing]
GET AGENT HOLLIS BACK HERE.
WE'RE GONNA NEED SOME BACKUP.
[Door Latch Clicking]
[Speaking Chinese]
FRANK!
IT'S THE DEALERS.
[Sniffing] YOU SMELL GASOLINE?
THE BUILDING'S BEEN DOUSED.
THEIR OWN PRODUCT? IT'S NO GOOD.
IT'S BEEN CHEMICALLY CONTAMINATED.
- YOU GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE NOW.
- WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
I'M GONNA LOOK FOR TAMRA.
THAT'S MY RESPONSIBILITY.
NO. GO. GO ON. GO.
GET THE FIRE DEPARTMENT OUT
HERE! THE BUILDING'S SET TO GO!
[Sobbing, Gasping]
TAMRA?
WHERE IS SHE?
[Sobbing]
HEY. IT'S OKAY.
[Crying Out] [Banging]
COME ON. WE GOTTA
GO. [Whimpering]
NO, DON'T LOOK
AT ME! NO! [Sobbing]
[Explosions]
COME ON, WE GOTTA GO!
WE GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE.
[Siren Wailing]
- FRANK!
- [Siren Continues]
[Fire Engine Honking]
T?
[Phone Ringing]
HEY. JUST GOT OFF
THE PHONE WITH O.P.R.
YOUR THINGS SHOULD BE RETURNED
BY THIS AFTERNOON. THANK YOU.
HOW'S YOUR FRIEND? SHE'S
GETTING BETTER. THANKS.
[Sighs] EMMA, UM...
I'M-I'M GLAD THAT THIS, UH...
MISUNDERSTANDING GOT SORTED OUT.
I HOPE YOU LEARNED
SOMETHING FROM IT.
LEARNED SOMETHING?
YOU WERE SAYING? YOU
MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE.
AS WHO?
YOU DON'T TRUST THE SYSTEM.
YOU TAKE YOUR OWN COUNSEL.
PEOPLE SEE YOU AS AN OUTSIDER.
I TRUST THE SYSTEM, BARRY.
JUST NOT EVERYONE IN IT.
YOU GOT LUCKY THIS TIME, EMMA.
NEXT TIME HE MIGHT NOT
BE THERE TO SAVE YOU.
[McClaren] WHAT AM I
LOOKING AT HERE, FRANK?
A CHEMICAL MODEL OF A SYNTHETIC
HORMONE THAT WAS LACED INTO HEROIN.
INJECTED INTO TAMRA CAFFREY.
NOW, LOOK. WHEREVER
YOU'RE GOIN' WITH THIS,
I-IT'S ALL OVER NOW.
IT'S A COMPOUND DEVELOPED SIX
YEARS AGO BY THE UNITED STATES ARMY,
IN A RESEARCH
FACILITY IN MARYLAND.
IT FOUND ITS WAY TO THE STREETS
OF CANADA. IF YOU ARE THINKIN'...
ABOUT MAKING AN ACCUSATION, OR
TURNING THIS INTO SOME KIND OF CRUSADE,
I WOULD WARN AGAINST IT, FRANK.
WAIT A MINUTE. ISN'T THAT WHAT THE
F.B.I. WAS READY TO DO TO EMMA HOLLIS?
- I DON'T MAKE THE RULES!
- THERE ARE NO RULES, ANDY.
ONLY EXPEDIENCE AND NECESSITIES.
LOOK, FRANK, ALL'S
BEEN FORGIVEN.
NO, ANDY. IT HASN'T.
[Child] I MADE THIS!
[Siren Wailing]
[Exhales]
[Train Passing]
YOU GOOD?
YEAH. GO ON. [Chuckles]
MM. MM.
[Groans]
[Gasping, Panting]
[Screams]
[Clattering]
- YOU OKAY?
- [Cries Out]
[Grunting, Banging]
[Screaming, Thumping]
[Whimpering] E?
[Whimpering, Quivering]
WAIT A MINUTE.
[Screams] OH! OH! NO!
OH! SOMEBODY GET SOMEBODY!
SOMEBODY GET SOMEBODY!
[Sobbing] SOMEBODY!
[Crying] GET SOMEBODY! OH!
WHAT'D YOU SELL HER? HEY! HEY!
WHAT'D YOU GIVE ME? WHAT
KIND OF STUFF... HEY! FREAK!
SHUT THE HELL UP ELSE
I'M GONNA SMACK YOU.
YOU WANNA SEE A FREAKIN'
FREAK, YOU GO SEE E!
[Moaning, Crying]
[Toilet Flushing]
- WHAT'D YOU...
- SHUT UP.
WHERE'S E? WHAT'D YOU DO?
YOU NO SAY PEEP.
OR NEXT, IT'S YOU.
[Screams]
[Train Wheels
Screeching] OH, NO!
[Chattering, Phone Ringing]
HOLLIS.
CAN I ASK YOU TO STAND UP AND
STEP BACK FROM YOUR DESK, PLEASE.
- WHAT?
- I DON'T WANT TO MAKE THIS
EMBARRASSING FOR ANY OF US.
- WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
- SAVE WHATEVER FILE
YOU'RE WORKING ON,
TURN OFF YOUR COMPUTER, STAND UP
AND STEP BACK FROM YOUR DESK, PLEASE.
- WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON?
- I THINK YOU'LL FIND THIS WILL
GO EASIER ON YOU...
- IF YOU JUST TELL THE TRUTH.
- ABOUT WHAT?
ABOUT WHAT? THAT'S
MY MAIL, BARRY.
STAY IN TOWN.
I'M WAITING FOR MY BUREAU REP,
WHO TELLS ME NOT
TO TALK TO ANYONE.
- ANYONE TELL YOU ANYTHING?
- NOT A CLUE.
HAVE THEY TOLD YOU?
THEY TOOK MY COMPUTER.
THEY TOOK MY MAIL, FRANK.
WELL, TECHNICALLY,
ANYTHING IN THIS BUILDING
CAN BE SEIZED AS
GOVERNMENT PROPERTY.
- PERSONAL MAIL?
- [Scoffs]
SO THE RIGHTS WE'RE PROTECTING,
WE DON'T EVEN HAVE OURSELVES.
FRANK, COULD I SEE
YOU FOR A MINUTE?
HANG TOUGH.
THIS IS AN O.P.R. INVESTIGATION. YOU
KNOW NOBODY CAN GET THE DETAILS.
I'VE WORKED A HALF A DOZEN
CASES WITH THIS WOMAN.
I KNOW HER ENOUGH TO KNOW
THAT THIS IS UNWARRANTED.
WE DIDN'T ENTER
THIS LIGHTLY, FRANK.
WE HAD ENOUGH INDICATION ON THIS.
WE HAD NO CHOICE. WE HAD TO MOVE.
INDICATIONS OF
WHAT? [Takes Deep Breath]
WAIT A MINUTE. I STILL HAVE ENOUGH
CONTACTS AROUND HERE TO FIND OUT, ANDY.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA DO
THIS JUST TO SLOW ME DOWN?
- SHE FAILED A RANDOM DRUG TEST.
- THAT'S ABSURD!
I HAD 'EM RUN IT TWICE, FRANK.
WHAT WAS SHE TESTED FOR?
HEROIN. WE ARE NOT BEING STUPID
HERE, AND WE'RE NOT BEING HASTY.
WE WON'T PRESS CHARGES
TILL WE'RE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN.
JUST THE ACCUSATION
COULD RUIN HER.
I WILL DO EVERYTHING IN
MY POWER TO MAKE SURE
THIS INVESTIGATION IS
THOROUGH AND FAIR...
BUT WHEN SHE'S FINISHED WITH HER BUREAU
REP, THEY WANT ME TO SEND HER HOME.
I WANT TO TALK TO HER PRIVATELY
ABOUT IT. FRANK, IF YOU TALK TO HER,
ANYTHING YOU HEAR WILL GO STRAIGHT
TO THE O.P.R., AND YOU KNOW THAT.
I DON'T THINK YOU WANT TO
PUT YOURSELF IN THAT POSITION.
I'LL MAKE UP MY OWN MIND ABOUT
WHAT POSITION I'LL BE PUT IN, ANDY. OKAY?
[Phone Ringing]
McCLAREN. YEAH.
ARE YOU SURE?
YEAH, WELL, YOU BE DOUBLE SURE BEFORE YOU
PUT THAT OUT TO ANYBODY, YOU UNDERSTAND?
GOOD. [Hangs Up Receiver]
[Sighs]
IT'S BALDWIN. HE SAYS
THEY FOUND A SMALL
BINDLE OF WHITE POWDER
IN HER PERSONAL EFFECTS.
[Scoffs]
[Phones Ringing]
[Chattering] AGENT HOLLIS.
EMMA. I'VE BEEN INSTRUCTED
NOT TO TALK TO ANYONE.
I KNOW. I ALSO KNOW YOU'RE NOT
A BIG FOLLOWER OF INSTRUCTIONS.
YEAH, WELL WHY DON'T YOU TELL THE GESTAPO
IN THERE THAT I'M NOT A JUNKIE EITHER!
WHY DON'T YOU GIVE ME SOME
HELP? LOOK, I'VE GOT NOTHING TO SAY.
VANCOUVER, CANADA.
A RESEALED ENVELOPE WITH THAT
POSTMARK WAS ADDRESSED TO YOU.
- [Inhales] THAT'S PERSONAL BUSINESS.
- THE CONTENTS AS WELL?
COME ON. ARE YOU
GONNA TALK TO ME, EMMA?
I THINK I'LL TAKE THE ADVICE I WAS
GIVEN AND WAIT FOR MY LAWYER.
I'M NOT LOOKING TO SCORE.
I'M TRYING TO FIND SOMEONE.
WHAT, ARE YOU
LOOKING FOR A DATE?
NO. I'M LOOKING FOR A GIRL.
[Chuckles] TAMRA CAFFREY.
UH, SEE NOW, I DON'T
KNOW NO NAMES.
- I'VE GOT A PICTURE!
- YEAH, WELL PUT IT
ON A MILK CARTON.
LOOK! HEY! I'M TIRED,
I'VE COME A LONG WAY...
I CAN PAY YOU!
GEEZ, LADY, YOU'RE
BRAVE. AND STUPID.
HOW MUCH? HOW
MUCH YOU GOT THERE?
AH, U.S.
- WHAT'S THAT NAME AGAIN?
- TAMRA CAFFREY.
TAMRA.
- SHE ON THE STREET?
- I DON'T KNOW.
- JUST GIVE ME A MINUTE, OKAY?
- H-HEY!
[Sighs]
[Siren Wailing In Distance]
[Brakes Screeching]
T!
I BEEN LOOKIN'
EVERYWHERE FOR YOU.
- DON'T LOOK AT ME, EM.
- TAMRA, IT'S OKAY.
- DON'T HATE ME, EM.
- I DON'T HATE YOU, T.
YOU JUST HAD ME THINKIN'
THE WORST, THAT'S ALL.
THIS AIN'T FAR FROM IT.
- YOU HAVE A CHOICE, T.
- YOU GOT A CHOICE.
- MY MIND MAKES ITSELF UP.
- WHAT ABOUT YOUR FRIEND?
YOU SAID ON THE PHONE
YOU WERE AFRAID. [Sobbing]
I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE,
EMMA. [Sobbing Continues]
I DON'T KNOW IF I'M MORE
AFRAID OF LIVIN' OR DYIN'.
[Knocking]
EMMA HOLLIS. I CALLED
ABOUT TAMRA CAFFREY.
- CAN WE COME IN?
- WE'RE NOT NO GIRLS' DORMITORY.
- SHE'S IN SERIOUS NEED.
- I'M SURE YOU'RE SERIOUS.
BUT I'VE BEEN THERE
BEFORE WITH MISS T.
SEE, I TOLD YOU, EM.
LET'S JUST GO. WAIT.
SHE'S HURTING OUT HERE.
[Latches Clicking]
I GOT ONE BED. SHE
TIGHTENS UP, OR SHE LOSES IT.
HELP ME! HELP!
[Cartoon Voices Continue]
[Man On TV] THIS LITTLE DESERT RAT IS
PART OF A DIET OF A BREED OF SNAKES...
WHO ARE OFTEN FOUND IN
THE ROCKY BRUSH OF ARIZONA...
[Cell Phone Ringing]
AND SOUTHERN UTAH.
THEY ARE CONSIDERED AMONG THE HARDIEST
OF OUR LOCAL REPTILES. [Ringing Continues]
CONSTRICTORS ARE SO NAMED BECAUSE
THEY KILL THEIR PREY BY SQUEEZING.
- HELLO?
- WHAT ARE YOU DOING, HOLLIS?
- FRANK?
- I JUST GOT A CALL
THAT YOU LEFT THE COUNTRY.
- A CALL. FROM WHO?
- THEY TOLD YOU TO STAY HOME.
I'M NOT UNDER HOUSE ARREST, FRANK. IF
I'M NOT MISTAKEN, I HAVEN'T BEEN CHARGED.
THESE PEOPLE DON'T HAVE MARGINS.
THEY DON'T MAKE ALLOWANCES.
I'M FINDING THAT.
THIS LOOKS BAD.
BAD FOR THE F.B.I.
THIS MAKES IT EVEN
LOOK WORSE, EMMA.
[Filtered] I DON'T WANT YOU
TO THROW YOUR CAREER AWAY.
I'VE GOT TO GO,
FRANK. [Dial Tone]
[Man On TV
Continues, Indistinct]
[Whimpering]
[Gasping]
T?
DYIN' DON'T SEEM SO BAD AS THIS.
- YOU SENT ME AN ENVELOPE.
- MM.
[Wheezing] YOU GET IT?
I NEED TO KNOW, T,
EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED,
WHILE YOU'RE STRAIGHT.
YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME.
I'D JUST LIKE TO MAKE SURE...
THAT IT WASN'T A CASE OF THE YIPS.
EMMA, PLEASE. [Gasps]
I WANT OFF IT.
I'M WACK RIGHT NOW, BUT...
I DIDN'T MAKE IT UP. YEAH.
[Whispers] IT'S BAD STUFF, EM.
IT TURNS PEOPLE INTO MONSTERS.
WHERE'D YOU GET IT?
I CAN'T TELL MORE. I'M AFRAID.
[Sniffles]
WHO SOLD IT TO YOU?
[Whimpers] EMMA, PLEASE!
I JUST NEED A NAME.
[Groans]
HIS NAME IS PULGA.
♪♪ [Music On TV]
[Agent Scully] MULDER? THEY
WANT THE KILL SWITCH VIRUS.
WHAT DID YOU TELL THEM?
[Mulder] I DIDN'T TELL THEM ANYTHING!
I NEED TO KNOW!
DO WE HAVE IT? [Knocking]
DO WE HAVE THE KILL SWITCH?
HI. I'M SORRY TO BOTHER
YOU. I HEARD YOUR TV ON.
DO YOU KNOW PULGA?
[Train Passing]
[Tires Screeching]
[Gun Firing]
- [Karate Cry]
- [Grunts]
HEY! YOU CRAZY BITCH!
YOU WANT TO SEE HOW CRAZY?
ARE YOU PULGA? COME
ON! ARE YOU PULGA?
NO!
[Grunts] [Gun Cocking]
[Devilish Laughing]
[Emma Grunts]
I THINK I SHOULD HAVE LEFT
YOU UNDER THE ELEVATOR.
WHO THE HELL ARE YOU? [Gasping]
POKIN' YOUR NOSE IN THE
WRONG HOLES, LADY CAT.
- IS YOUR NAME PULGA?
- WHERE'D YOU HEAR THAT NAME?
FROM A JUNKIE. SHE SAYS
YOU'RE SELLING BAD SMACK.
SAY IT AGAIN.
SAY IT AGAIN AND
I'LL KILL YOU DEAD.
- I JUST DON'T WANT HER DEAD.
- [Softly] WHO?
[Siren Wailing]
[Wailing Continues]
[Siren Echoing]
EMMA HOLLIS? THERE'S A FRANK
BLACK ASKING TO TALK TO YOU.
ON THE PHONE?
[Softly] THANK YOU.
THEY SAY YOU REFUSE TO
LET A DOCTOR SEE THAT CUT.
HOW'D YOU FIND ME, FRANK?
[Sighs] ONE VANCOUVER
ADDRESS ON YOUR ROLODEX.
TAMRA CAFFREY.
THE R.C.M.P. IS VERY
FAMILIAR WITH THAT NAME.
HEY, LOOK, FRANK. THIS
DOESN'T CONCERN YOU.
THEY'RE GONNA SAY YOU FAILED TO
MENTION HER IN YOUR ACADEMY INTERVIEW.
AND WHEN YOU WERE ASKED ABOUT
FAMILY, ANY HISTORY OF FELONY CONVICTIONS,
YOU WERE LESS THAN CANDID.
I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT HER.
NOT UNTIL TWO YEARS
AGO WHEN MY COUSIN DIED.
NO ONE WAS SUPPOSED
TO EVER FIND OUT.
AN ILLEGITIMATE CHILD ISN'T EXACTLY
SOMETHING THAT TRADITIONALLY APPEARS...
IN FAMILY PHOTO ALBUMS.
IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
TO INFORM YOUR BUREAU REP.
WHAT ABOUT MY RESPONSIBILITY
TO SOMEONE IN TROUBLE?
WHO'S GOT ONE PERSON WHO EVEN
CARES ENOUGH TO TAKE HER PHONE CALL.
NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR... THAT DOESN'T
EXPLAIN YOUR POSITIVE DRUG TEST, DOES IT?
STOP IT. WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO?
I BELIEVE YOU.
THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.
[Thunder Rumbling]
SHE SENT ME... AN UNMARKED
ENVELOPE IN THE MAIL.
I OPENED THE PACKET. I TOOK A
TASTE ON THE END OF ONE FINGER.
I KNOW IT WAS... STUPID.
YEAH, IT WAS STUPID.
I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT
HOW I WAS GONNA GET IT TESTED.
TESTED FOR WHAT?
TAMRA SAYS THAT JUNKIES
HERE ARE DISAPPEARING.
THAT THERE'S HEROIN ON THE STREETS
THAT'S TURNING PEOPLE INTO MONSTERS.
- THAT'S AN OLD URBAN MYTH.
- NO, SHE SAYS SHE'S SEEN IT.
A FRIEND OF HERS, WHO SHE
SAYS A COUPLE OF DEALERS KILLED...
TO COVER IT UP.
WHO DID THIS TO YOU?
YOU'RE UNARMED, EMMA.
YOU COME UP HERE INVESTIGATING,
WITH NO LEGAL AUTHORITY WHATSOEVER.
I'M AFRAID FOR HER, FRANK.
I DON'T KNOW IF SHE
CAN STAY STRAIGHT.
[Knocking On Door]
HOW'S SHE DOIN'? SHE HATES
HER TREATMENT, BUT THEY ALL DO.
I DON'T SEE HER LOOKIN'
TO BOLT, THOUGH.
LET ME GET HER. [Beeping]
- [Phone Ringing]
- McCLAREN.
- WHERE ARE YOU?
- I'M WITH HOLLIS.
YOU WENT UP THERE.
IT WAS ON MY DIME.
OH, COME ON, FRANK. IT'S
GOT NOTHIN' TO DO WITH MONEY.
I'M CATCHIN' FLAK LEFT AND RIGHT
HERE HOW THIS THING'S BEIN' HANDLED.
- I THINK THERE ARE
MITIGATING FACTS.
- WELL, GOOD.
BECAUSE THEY'RE READY TO PUSH A
BUTTON ON HOLLIS AFTER THIS LATEST STUNT!
- THE DOPE YOU FOUND WAS
SENT TO HER FOR TESTING.
- WELL, IT'S BEEN TESTED NOW.
DID YOU FIND ANYTHING STRANGE? WHAT,
STRANGER THAN 80% PURE STREET-GRADE HEROIN?
- NOTHING BESIDES THAT?
- IT WAS CUT WITH LACTOSE
AND MANNITOL.
BABY LAXATIVE.
WHAT, THAT'S NOT THE "MITIGATING
CIRCUMSTANCE" YOU WERE REFERRING TO?
I'LL GET BACK TO YOU, ANDY.
[Hangs Up Receiver]
[Scoffs] HMM.
HER NAME WAS ELISSA. I
CALLED HER E. SHE CALLED ME T.
JUST LIKE YOU, EM.
WE MET AT ESSENCE HOUSE.
SHE WAS TRYIN' TO KICK.
ALL THESE PICTURES WERE TAKEN
LAST SUMMER, AFTER WE BOTH GOT CLEAN.
- [Both Chuckling]
- EMMA.
THERE'VE BEEN SEVEN
UNCLAIMED OR UNIDENTIFIED
BODIES OVER THE
PAST THREE WEEKS.
SIX JOHN DOES.
NONE OF THEM MATCH THE
DESCRIPTION YOU GAVE US.
THEY PUSHED HER OUT THE
WINDOW. I SAW HER LYIN' THERE.
- YOU SAW THEM PUSH HER?
- I KNOW THEY DID IT.
SHE DIDN'T JUMP, IF THAT'S
WHAT YOU'RE THINKIN'.
- HOW STRUNG OUT
WERE YOU, TAMRA?
- I WASN'T EVEN HIGH YET.
YOU'RE LOOKIN' AT
ME LIKE I'M MAKIN' IT UP.
LISTEN, YOU PUT HER IN A
VERY DIFFICULT SITUATION.
FRANK.
- WHAT SHE NEEDS IS THE TRUTH.
- I'M TELLIN' THE TRUTH!
I SAW MY FRIEND
TURN INTO A MONSTER.
YOU TOLD ME YOU WERE
GOING TO HELP ME, EMMA.
I BELIEVED YOU.
- [Moans] - T... LET HER GO.
- THIS ISN'T WHAT SHE NEEDS.
- WHAT SHE NEEDS IS ATTENTION.
MAYBE THAT'S WHAT THIS
WHOLE STORY IS ABOUT.
BECAUSE NONE OF IT'S MAKING
VERY MUCH SENSE, EMMA.
SHE'S REALLY AFRAID, FRANK.
LOOK AT WHAT YOU'RE RISKING.
FOR WHAT MIGHT TURN OUT TO
BE A JUNKIE'S DELUSIONAL FANTASY.
YOU CAN'T SAVE HER.
YOU CAN'T FIX HER.
- BUT MAYBE YOU CAN
SAVE YOURSELF, EMMA.
- FROM WHAT?
THE DELUSIONAL FANTASIES
OF McCLAREN AND THE F.B.I.?
I BELIEVE HER!
THERE ISN'T ONE SHRED OF EVIDENCE
TO SUPPORT WHAT SHE'S TELLING YOU.
YOU AND I... WE'LL GO ON LIVING.
EVERY DAY OF THAT
GIRL'S LIFE IS A GAMBLE.
AND NOW YOUR LIFE IS
BECOMING PART OF THE STAKES.
[Cell Phone Ringing]
EMMA HOLLIS. YES.
THANK YOU. WHAT?
THEY FOUND THE BODY.
[Hissing, Clicking]
[Rapid Beeping]
[Speaking Chinese]
[Man] SHE'S A FLOATER.
CAME UP UNDER THE DOCKS.
BODY HAD BEEN WEIGHTED
DOWN. CLOTHED, AS YOU CAN SEE,
BUT NO JEWELRY OR
OTHER IDENTIFICATION.
- ANY DISTINGUISHING MARKS?
- JUST THIS "E" TATTOOED HERE
ON THE BACK OF HER HAND.
DOCTOR?
BODY HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED, BUT NOT BY
IMMEDIATE FAMILY, AS ELISSA ZARITSKY.
THERE'S WATER DISTENSION
OF THE DERMAL LAYERS...
CONSISTENT WITH
PROLONGED IMMERSION,
ALONG WITH SOME EVIDENCE OF INVERTEBRATE
SCAVENGING ON THE EXPOSED SKIN.
NO SIGNS OF ANY DEGLOVING
OF THE EPIDERMIS OF THE HANDS.
SHOULD BE NO PROBLEM
MAKING A POSITIVE PRINT I.D.
SUBJECT IS CAUCASIAN, TWENTIES,
WITH SOME FAIRLY QUALITY
DENTAL WORK SOMETIME IN HER LIFE.
LAST FEW YEARS HAVE
BEEN HIGH MILEAGE.
A LOT OF I.V. DRUG USE.
PROBABLY A BIG HISTORY.
JUMPS OUT AS A
DUMP, NOT A DROWNING.
THERE'S NOTHING ELSE IN
HER OUTWARD APPEARANCE
THAT SUGGESTS
ANOTHER CAUSE OF DEATH?
- SUCH AS?
- BEFORE SHE DIED, SOMEONE
WHO WAS CLOSE TO HER SAID...
SHE'D TAKEN ON THE
CHARACTERISTICS OF A MONSTER.
[Sighs] "RIDING THE MONSTER."
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
WE'VE HAD A WAVE OF HEROIN OVERDOSES
THAT WERE PEOPLE LOOKING FOR THAT MONSTER.
IT'S BECOME SORT OF A
MYTHOLOGICAL HIGH. LIKE SEEING GOD.
YOU'VE NEVER SEEN ANY
PHYSICAL MANIFESTATION.
I SEE A LOT OF THESE.
IT'S AN EMULATION OF THE CHINESE
ANIMUS CONCEPT OF BODY DECORATION.
YOU TAKE ON THE
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE
ANIMAL, OR THE DEMON,
YOU WEAR ON YOUR SKIN.
SO THIS GIRL WAS ACTUALLY
LOOKING FOR THE MONSTER?
I DON'T KNOW IF SHE FOUND IT,
BUT SHE DEFINITELY GOT TO SEE GOD.
EXCUSE ME. EMMA.
SHE LIED TO ME, FRANK.
I'M NOT SO SURE NOW.
YOU'RE NOT SO SURE? YOU'RE
THE ONE WHO ACCUSED HER.
SOMEONE WENT TO THE TROUBLE
OF WEIGHING ELISSA'S BODY DOWN.
SOMEONE TRYING TO HIDE SOMETHING.
BUT THERE'S NOTHING TO HIDE.
YOU HEARD WHAT THE
CORONER SAID. HE SAID
THERE'S NO PHYSICAL
MANIFESTATION OF THE EFFECT.
WHAT IF THE EFFECT IS TEMPORARY?
TEMPORARY DISTORTION OF THE HUMAN FORM?
A MONSTER WITHIN...
BROUGHT ON BY THE DRUG.
McCLAREN SAID THE F.B.I. DRUG
TEST TURNED UP NOTHING SPECIAL.
MAYBE BECAUSE THEY DON'T
KNOW WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR.
[Slaps Hood Of Car]
WHAT'S HE WANT? HE
WANTS TO TALK TO ME.
[Exhales Sharply]
[Speaking Chinese]
IT WOULDN'T HAVE SHOWN
UP IN YOUR DRUG TEST, ANDY.
YOUR TESTS ARE NOT SPECIFIC
ENOUGH TO FIND WHAT I'M LOOKING AT.
- YEAH. WHAT ARE YOU LOOKIN' AT?
- A TISSUE SAMPLE FROM
A HARD-CORE USER,
SHOWING AN ACCUMULATION OF A
STRANGE AND FOREIGN HORMONE...
IN THE WOMAN'S SKIN
CELLS. OKAY, I TRUST YOU.
[Sighs] THE HORMONE'S BEEN
CHEMICALLY ATTACHED TO EITHER...
THE LACTOSE, OR
THE OPIATE ITSELF...
USING SOME VERY
SOPHISTICATED SCIENCE.
THIS IS WHAT EMMA WAS
TRYING TO INVESTIGATE.
THIS IS THE REASON SHE
WAS IN POSSESSION OF DRUGS.
YEAH. FRANK, JUST HOLD ON. I KNOW YOU'RE
ON TO SOMETHING THERE, BUT THERE'S NO NEED.
- WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "NO NEED"?
- THE O.P.R. INVESTIGATION OF
AGENT HOLLIS HAS BEEN DROPPED.
SINCE WHEN? WELL, I GOT THE
CALL WHEN I WAS ON MY WAY HOME.
THEY WANT ME TO DRAFT
A FULL APOLOGY TO EMMA.
WHERE DID THIS COME FROM? I
DON'T KNOW. FRANKLY, I DON'T CARE.
WAIT A MINUTE. THE O.P.R.
DID THIS INDEPENDENTLY?
WELL, I GUESS IT COMES
FROM D.O.J., MAYBE HIGHER.
THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE?
DON'T YOU FIND THAT WEIRD, ANDY?
LOOK, I JUST WANT YOU TO GET YOUR
BEHINDS ON THE NEXT PLANE HOME. OKAY?
HEY. GO FIND TAMRA.
- WHY?
- BECAUSE HER LIFE'S IN DANGER.
[Man] HOLD ON! HOLD ON!
[Pounding Continues]
HOLD ON, I'M COMING.
I NEED TO SEE T.
T's OUT. SHE DIDN'T MAKE CURFEW.
SHE'S NOT IN HER ROOM?
IT'S NOT HER ROOM ANYMORE.
THOSE ARE THE RULES.
OUT WITH WHO? DID SHE SAY?
DIDN'T ASK. SHE DIDN'T SAY.
YOU WANT TO SEE THE
MONSTER? [Panicky Breathing]
[Brakes Squeal]
[Whimpering]
JOHNNY'S GONNA SHOW YOU
WHERE THAT MONSTER LIVES.
[Sobbing] WAIT, NO.
T?
TAMRA?
[Sobbing] OKAY. DON'T!
[Gasping, Moaning]
[Screaming]
TAMRA CAFFREY?
[Trains Rumbling]
[Chinese]
[Moaning]
[Pounding] HEY! LOOK UP!
HEY! FREAKIN' MONSTER.
[Whimpering]
[Tapping Keys] [Beeps]
DETECTIVE, I ASKED YOU
FOR THE PRIME MOVERS
OF HEROIN IN B.C., AND
YOU GAVE ME THIS MAN.
- WHY?
- WING HO. HE'S A CHEMIST FOR
ONE OF THE HONG KONG TRIADS.
THERE'S A MUG SHOT, BUT
NO RECORD. NO INFORMATION.
I BELIEVE HE'S A DEEP COVER
INFORMANT FOR YOUR U.S. D.E.A.
- HOW DID THEY TURN HIM?
- HE PATRIATED HERE FROM
CANTON PROVINCE IN 1993.
HIS BROTHER WAS ORDERED
EXECUTED BY THE DAI LO IN TAIWAN.
ORDINARILY, THEIR GUAN XI
CODE WOULD KEEP HIM QUIET,
BUT HO COULDN'T FORGIVE
HIS BROTHER'S DEATH.
- COULDN'T FORGIVE THE DAI LO.
- YEAH.
[Dial Tone, Beeping]
WHO ARE YOU CALLING?
THE ASSISTANT
DIRECTOR OF THE F.B.I.
PUT SOME PRESSURE ON THE D.E.A. FIND
A 20 ON THEIR INFORMANT. [Line Ringing]
GET AGENT HOLLIS BACK HERE.
WE'RE GONNA NEED SOME BACKUP.
[Door Latch Clicking]
[Speaking Chinese]
FRANK!
IT'S THE DEALERS.
[Sniffing] YOU SMELL GASOLINE?
THE BUILDING'S BEEN DOUSED.
THEIR OWN PRODUCT? IT'S NO GOOD.
IT'S BEEN CHEMICALLY CONTAMINATED.
- YOU GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE NOW.
- WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
I'M GONNA LOOK FOR TAMRA.
THAT'S MY RESPONSIBILITY.
NO. GO. GO ON. GO.
GET THE FIRE DEPARTMENT OUT
HERE! THE BUILDING'S SET TO GO!
[Sobbing, Gasping]
TAMRA?
WHERE IS SHE?
[Sobbing]
HEY. IT'S OKAY.
[Crying Out] [Banging]
COME ON. WE GOTTA
GO. [Whimpering]
NO, DON'T LOOK
AT ME! NO! [Sobbing]
[Explosions]
COME ON, WE GOTTA GO!
WE GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE.
[Siren Wailing]
- FRANK!
- [Siren Continues]
[Fire Engine Honking]
T?
[Phone Ringing]
HEY. JUST GOT OFF
THE PHONE WITH O.P.R.
YOUR THINGS SHOULD BE RETURNED
BY THIS AFTERNOON. THANK YOU.
HOW'S YOUR FRIEND? SHE'S
GETTING BETTER. THANKS.
[Sighs] EMMA, UM...
I'M-I'M GLAD THAT THIS, UH...
MISUNDERSTANDING GOT SORTED OUT.
I HOPE YOU LEARNED
SOMETHING FROM IT.
LEARNED SOMETHING?
YOU WERE SAYING? YOU
MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE.
AS WHO?
YOU DON'T TRUST THE SYSTEM.
YOU TAKE YOUR OWN COUNSEL.
PEOPLE SEE YOU AS AN OUTSIDER.
I TRUST THE SYSTEM, BARRY.
JUST NOT EVERYONE IN IT.
YOU GOT LUCKY THIS TIME, EMMA.
NEXT TIME HE MIGHT NOT
BE THERE TO SAVE YOU.
[McClaren] WHAT AM I
LOOKING AT HERE, FRANK?
A CHEMICAL MODEL OF A SYNTHETIC
HORMONE THAT WAS LACED INTO HEROIN.
INJECTED INTO TAMRA CAFFREY.
NOW, LOOK. WHEREVER
YOU'RE GOIN' WITH THIS,
I-IT'S ALL OVER NOW.
IT'S A COMPOUND DEVELOPED SIX
YEARS AGO BY THE UNITED STATES ARMY,
IN A RESEARCH
FACILITY IN MARYLAND.
IT FOUND ITS WAY TO THE STREETS
OF CANADA. IF YOU ARE THINKIN'...
ABOUT MAKING AN ACCUSATION, OR
TURNING THIS INTO SOME KIND OF CRUSADE,
I WOULD WARN AGAINST IT, FRANK.
WAIT A MINUTE. ISN'T THAT WHAT THE
F.B.I. WAS READY TO DO TO EMMA HOLLIS?
- I DON'T MAKE THE RULES!
- THERE ARE NO RULES, ANDY.
ONLY EXPEDIENCE AND NECESSITIES.
LOOK, FRANK, ALL'S
BEEN FORGIVEN.
NO, ANDY. IT HASN'T.
[Child] I MADE THIS!
