우리말 번역: 행복결말

2005년 브루클린

아담

나 기억해?

- 학교 가는구나?
- 네

타, 데려다 줄게

괜찮아, 가는 길이야

저건 뭐예요?

네 부모님 거

타, 설명해 줄게

옷 안 입어요?

같이 뛴다면서요?

내가요?

밤새웠어요?

당신 자러 가고

연쇄 살인 사건
보다가

시간 개념을
잃었어요

아직도 잃은 상태라

안 가요, 미안해요

운동이 회복에
좋다는 데

동의했잖아요?

내가 동의한다고 하면

안 듣고 있는 거예요

또 뭐가 좋게요?

재즈로빅요

예쁜 다리 토시랑
머리띠 하고요

동의해요

풍선남 보는 거예요?

런던에서부터
관심 있었어요

뉴욕 아동 납치 귀신
들어봤죠?

7년 전 코블힐에서
첫 아이를 납치했죠

이 근처였어요

아담 뭐였는데

그 후로
6명 납치했나?

- 어젯밤까지 7명요
- 뭐요?

경찰 무선으로
들었어요

마리아나 카스틸로
10살

아이 침실에서
납치하고

풍선 다발을
흔적으로 남겼어요

"풍선남" 보다는
"플리트가"가

더 창의적인
별명 같네요

E.E. 커밍스 시는
좋아하지만

무전으로 들었으면
맡은 건 아니잖아요

아직은 그렇죠

아이 유괴와
연쇄 살인은

정신과 자문과

합동 기동 부대가
필요하니

청장 허가 없이
날 못 불러요

서장은 정확히
8:30에 출근하고

3분은 커피
6분은 화장실이니

15분쯤 후면
연락 오겠네요

지금 오거나

홈스입니다

크레센트가요?
바로 가죠

옷도 안 입고
바로 간다고 했네

아이 방은 뒤쪽이야

어젯밤 9:30경
창문을 따고 들어가

풍선을 남기고
납치해갔어

엄마는 친구 화랑
갔었고

아빠는 와인 사러
보데가에 갔었어요

9:45쯤에요

최근 부러졌어요

아이가
움켜쥔 것 같아요

저항이라
좋은 현상이군요

작은 여자애가
성인 남자를

이길 수 있다면야
그렇죠

이건 뭐죠?

부모가 납치범에게
빌 거예요

- 안 돼요
- 왜요?

이러면 안 돼요

곧 시작하니까
비켜요

이러면...

10, 9, 8, 7

6, 5, 4, 3, 2

이봐요!
무슨 짓이에요?

난 경고했어요

당신 뭐예요?

당신 딸 죽는 걸
막은 사람이죠

홈스 씨는
저희 고문입니다

다니엘 피터스
케일라 잭슨

빌리 크로포드는
시체가 발견된

2, 3, 5번째
희생자예요

다니엘은 묻히기 전
하루 살아 있었고

케일라는 반나절
빌리는 이틀이에요

- 왜 다를까요?
- 셜록, 지금은...

어젯밤에 연관성을
찾았어요

부모의
언론 노출 정도와

아이가 죽는 속도
사이에요

자세한 건 생략하고
취재를 많이 할수록

아이는 빨리 죽어요

이 사람이 맞나요?

대개는요

취재 횟수와 그게
무슨 상관이죠?

풍선남은 아이 가족의
슬픔을 즐겨요

만족하게 하면
게임 끝이죠

배고프게 하면
이틀은 벌 거예요

딸을 찾는 법은
간단해요

내 말대로만 해요

켐퍼

첫 번째 희생자
아담 켐퍼

방금 기억났어요

아담을 납치한
자리에

"고마워요"가 쓰인
풍선을 남겼죠

마치 선물이라도
받은 것처럼요

기사 다 읽었어요

가족의 고통은
예상했지만

- 이렇게 직접 보니...
- 나가 있어요

난 괜찮아요

아니, 당신 때문에
집중이 안 돼요

내가...?

그건 당신이
이기적이라 그렇죠

이봐요

- 괜찮아요
- 카스틸로 씨

자책하실 필요
없습니다

있어요

- 뭐요?
- 물론 납치는 말고요

어떻게든
데려갔을 테니까

하지만 수사 지체는
당신 탓이에요

다 말했는데요

큰 거짓말 하나가
섞여 있었죠

어젯밤 샀다는
와인은 어디 있죠?

당신 손에요

거짓말

보데가는 가격표를
뚜껑에 붙여요

바닥 가격표
이 거짓말쟁이

이건 다른 때
산 거예요

대서양 연안에서
샀겠죠

저장실에 있는
프로세코 와인처럼

이건 집을 나간
진짜 이유를 감추려고

냉장고에
넣어뒀고요

당장 여자 이름을
말해요

- 무슨 여자?
- 정부요

발뺌하지 마요

레몬 짜개 보면
아니까

정확히는
짜개들이죠

오래된 거 하나
새 거 하나

병마개 따개와
후추통도 그렇고요

오래된 건
가족용이고

새 건 롱아일랜드에서
산 거죠

- 어떻게...?
- 아이슬립의

장기 투숙 호텔
편지를 봤어요

한동안 별거했다가
다시 합쳤죠?

그래서
전화 목록을 봤더니

집에서 나가기 전

롱아일랜드에서 온 전화를
15초 받았더군요

별거의 원인이었던
여자 전화겠죠

그 전화를 받고
나갔어요

이런 절박한 상황에

그걸 숨길 이유는
뻔하죠

별거할 때 만났던
동료가 있어요

동네에 왔는데
꼭 봐야 한다더군요

하지만 맹세코

다신 오지 말라고...

어떻게 그걸 숨겨?

어디서 만났죠?

길에서요
조금 내려가서요

차에 안 타고
창문으로 얘기했어

만나야겠어요

- 아무 상관 없어요
- 그렇겠죠

하지만 지난밤
이 구역에 주차했고

당신 집을 보며
당신을 기다렸겠죠

따라서...

납치법을 찾는 데
도움될 수 있어요

미안해요

나 때문에 딸애가
납치된 게

충격적이어서요

전화만 안 했다면...

토마스 양, 괜찮아요

이상한 거
못 보셨나요?

차 안에만 있었어요

이제 어쩌죠?

부모와 다시
얘기할 건가요?

또 그러네요

말

난 말도 못 해요?

집중이 필요한
이런 상황에선

나만 얘기해요

- 그게 무슨...?
- 쉬쉿

모퉁이로 향했는데

신호를 무시한 차가
날 박을 뻔했어요

그게 언제죠?

됐어요, 알아요
9:40

집 옆의
부러진 덩굴은

아이가 깨어서
저항했다는 의미죠

그래서요?

발견된 세 시체에는
마취 흔적이 있는데

마리아나의 경우는
부주의하고

성급했어요, 왜?

사이렌 때문이죠

무슨 사이렌?

어젯밤 경찰 무선
듣는데

카스틸로 몇 분 전에
다른 신고가 있었어요

가정 불화 문제로요

순찰차가
사이렌을 울리며

카스틸로 집 근처로
출동했죠

자기 때문인 줄 알고
당황했군

그래서
바로 차에 태우고

신호도 무시했군요

토마스 양 앞에서요

그 차 기억나세요?

밴이었어요

유괴 차량이 그렇죠

연식이나 기종은요?

너무 순식간이었고
난 차를 잘 몰라요

색맹은 아니죠?
빨강? 파랑? 검정?

갈색

짙은 갈색요

뭘 찾으면 되죠?

가정 보안 카메라?

정확한 기억력의
이웃?

아까 서에서
했던 말은 뭐예요?

당신만
얘기한다고요?

네, 또 떠들고
있네요

다른 사람에게
얘기하면

복잡한 사건이
명료해지거든요

난 말하고
다른 사람은 듣죠

하지만 대화를 하면
놓치는 게 생겨요

양방 통행은
안 돼요

런던에선 누구한테
얘기했어요? / 많죠

종업원
택시 운전사

가끔은 매춘부도

생각보다
잘 들어줘요

어련하겠어요

꼴이 엉망이에요

내가 꾸미는 거
봤어요?

오늘 쫄쫄 굶었죠?

- 잠도 안 자고...
- 그럼 둔해진다고요?

회복 중에 굶으면
다시 예전으로...

잠깐만요

내 말 취소할게요

직업 정신 투철한
당신 수다는

아주 도움되네요

백색 소음처럼요

생각에 빠지게 하고

관찰력도 좋아져요

이게 그 예죠

이게 갈색 밴으로
보이면

수면 부족이
정말 심각하네요

주차 위반 딱지들

며칠 서 있었어요

그런데 타이어 아래
미끄러진 자국을 보면

몇 인치 움직였어요

누가 긁고
지나갔네요

당황한 납치범의
밴이라는 데 걸죠

여기 묻은
페이트를 보면...

토마스 양 말대로
짙은 갈색이이에요

청색과 흰색도
묻었는데요?

청색과 흰색이
원래 색이란 뜻이죠

게다가 아주 독특한
조합이고요

벨 형사님!

실례할게요

버린 경찰 밴을
찾아봐요

옥션에서 팔려
갈색으로 칠했고

이 세단과 부딪쳐
한쪽이 쭉 긁혔어요

점심 전엔 풍선남을
찾을 거예요

자는 게 아니라
사건 검토 중이에요

말 거는 거에요?

난 귀만 뚫린
사람인 줄 알았는데

그렇게 예민할
필요 없어요

당신 도움은
아주 유용해요

런던에서
골상학 모형에만

얘기할 때가
있었어요

앵거스라고
이름 지었어요

다르더라고요

난 무생물보다
생물을

선호한다는 걸
깨달았어요

커다란 발견이었죠

앵거스라

난 생물 범주에 들어
기쁘네요

방금 밴을 찾았어

안 놓쳤지?

네, 후드 쓴
백인 남성입니다

더는 안 보입니다

열 사진에
잡힌 거 있어?

없습니다

들켰습니다
78번 도로로 북향

경찰이다! 거기 서!

엎드려

아이는 여기 없어

아닙니다

풍선남보다
나이가 한참 어려요

홈스, 뭐 해?

목에 있는 점을 보니
형사님 말이 맞네요

아담을 데려간 자가
아니에요

이 애는

아담 켐퍼예요

아담

제발

말 좀 해

네가 누군지 알아

지문 확인했어

밴에 타고 있었던
이유를 말해 봐

정신과 의사가 와도
소용없을 것 같군

말할 생각이
전혀 없어

부모에게 알렸어요?

청장님이 연락해서
오고 있는데

기자들 뚫고 오려면
꽤 걸릴 거예요

세기의 이야기죠

죽은 줄 알았던
실종 소년

몇 년 후 발견

풍선남 차에서
아담을 발견한 건

우연이 아니겠죠?

비슷한 경우를
봤어요

더뷰크 경찰이
7년간 실종됐던

15살 아이를
찾았어요

납치범은 그 애를
학교에 보냈고

친구도
데려오게 했어요

아이는 범인에게
공감해

달아날 생각을
안 했죠

그런 경우라면

아담이 경찰을 보고
도망간 게 설명돼요

미치광이가
좋아졌기 때문이죠

살아 있는 아이가
더 있을지 몰라요

아담은
특별 경우예요

첫 번째니까

풍선남의 2, 3번째가
죽었다는 건

살인을 즐겼다는
얘기예요

한 번 맛을 보면
못 헤어나오죠

문제는

아담의 역할이에요

아담이 도왔을
거라고요?

유괴범에게
공감했다면서요?

문제는 가담 정도죠

밴에 탄 걸
찾았잖아

마리아나가
그 밴에 탔었는지

증명할 증거를
찾고 있어

그동안 아담은
차 절도로 잡아뒀고

하지만 입을
어서 열지 않으면

마리아나는
찾을 수 없게 돼

내가 설득할 수
있을 것 같아요

홈스, 이건 민감한
상황이야

내가 가끔
막 나가긴 하지만

아이 목숨을 두고
그러진 않아요

난 여기 있는 아이
말하는 거야

정신적 충격이 있고
세뇌 가능성도 있어

내 덕에 찾았잖아요

그렇다고
신문할 권리는 없어

자넨 고문이지
경찰이 아니야

끔찍한 범죄의
공범일 가능성을

두고 봤을 때

비 경찰이
적합하지 않을까요?

딱 10분만요

5분이야

안녕, 아담

난 셜록이야

내 억양으로
알겠지만

난 뉴욕 경찰이
아니야

정신과의도 아니고

따라서 네게
유일하게

솔직한 사람이지

이전에 들어온
벨 형사 같은 사람은

7년 전
널 데려간 사람이

나쁜 사람이라고
했지

널 때리고
학대했으니까

하지만 모르는
소리지?

널 돌보기도 하고

보호하고

운전도 가르쳐주고

사랑도 줬지

난 8살 때
기숙 학교로 보내졌어

아는 체를 좀 해서

아니, 사실 심했지

남자애들이
날 싫어했는데

앤더슨 라슨이
특히 싫어했어

다음 학년 동안

앤더스는 내게
화를 표출했어

여러가지
잔인한 방법으로

물론 네 경험에
비할 바는 아니지만

한번 들어 봐

앤더스에게 맞을수록

난 더 고마웠어

관심을 준다는 게

날 벌줌으로써
내 잘못을

고쳐 주려 한다고
생각했어

하루는

특히나 잔인했던

수업 후에

선생님이 보시더니

누구 짓이냐고 했어

난 계단에서
굴렀다고 했지

좋아하는 사람을
보호하려고

그 사람이 그랬니?

네가 좋아하는
사람이?

아니요

어느 날 밤 방에서

날이 덥길래

창문을 열다가
손으로 창을 깼는데

그분이 돌봐줬어요

- 붕대를 감아줬어요
- 그랬겠지

- 널 사랑하니까
- 뭐든지 해줬어요

아침마다 도넛을
갖다 줬어요

그럴 필요 없는데

묻지도 않았는데...

질문 그만해

변호사 왔어

텔레파시로요?

부모님이 불렀어

여기 오셨어

아담에게 물을 게
많다는 건 압니다만

아담이 공범일 수
있다고 보는 거

모를 줄 아세요?

네, 가능성 있죠

그래서 마리아나를
찾는 데

도움받을 수 있는지
보려는 겁니다

부모는 지금
어떤 심정일까요

그나저나 아깐
굉장했어요

정말 감동적인
얘기였어요

사실인가요?

기숙 학교 다녔어요

저흰 이미 검사실에

면책 거래를
얘기해 뒀습니다

납치범에게
강요당한 범죄를

면책받는 대가로

아는 걸
전부 말할 겁니다

발견하지 못한
시체 위치도요

내일쯤
결과 나올 겁니다

그땐 늦을 지도
몰라요

그래서 저희 제안을
받아주셨으면 합니다

실례하겠습니다

뭐지?

받아주고 말고는
안 중요해요

내 대화는 중단됐지만
건진 게 있어요

뭔데?

아침마다 도넛을
줬다고 했어요

범인은 밤에 일해요

물론 충분하진
않지만

전에 비해
큰 성과예요

그걸로 찾겠다고?

논리학자는
물 한 방울만 있어도

대서양인지 나이아가라인지
추론해내요

물 한 방울이 생겼으니
추론해 볼게요

정말 찾을 수 있다고
생각해요?

가능성은 열렸죠

전엔 도시 내
모든 남성이

용의자였지만

지금은 밤에 일하는
남성으로 줄었어요

- 또 밤새울 거죠?
- 소용없어요

난 외모나 악취
신경 안 써요

안 잘 거예요

막을 생각 없어요

건강에 좋지 않고

회복 중엔
특히 그렇지만

이해해요

아이를 위한 일이니
귀도 빌려줄게요

고맙네요, 하지만

지금은 필요 없어요

서류 다 볼 때까진
말 안 해요

알겠어요
그럼 나도 볼게요

그게 아니에요

정보를 거르는 건
내 뇌예요

모든 단어와 사진을
봐야 해요

그럼 잠 깨게
도울게요

- 커피 좋죠
- 커피 말고요

그럼 뭔데요?

의대에서 배운 요령
가르쳐 줄게요

그걸 의대에서
가르쳐요?

벼락치기하다
피곤할 때

이걸 백 번 하면
피가 돌아서

잠이 달아났어요

나 수석 졸업했어요

진짜예요

왓슨!

- 직업을 바꿨어요
- 누가요?

풍선남요

몇 년 전
FBI는 놈을

구제자라고
가정했어요

아담 가족은
납치 일주일 전

집을 소독했거든요

네, 아직 있어요

아무도
관심 안 가졌죠

이걸 보기
전까지는요

2, 3번째 아이 집의
바깥 사진이에요

이웃들이
소독했군요

2008년에 FBI는

아담 집을 소독한
회사의

모든 근로자를
만났지만

용의자를
찾지 못했고

결국 가설을
버렸어요

뒤이은
희생자들이

구제와
연관 없었거든요

근데 난 가설이
맞다고 생각해요

풍선남은
구제자였어요

직업을 바꾼 거죠

3, 4번째
납치 사이에요

이걸 봐요

신문 사본이에요

연어 살빛의
독특한 신문이죠

4번째 아이 부모가
구독했어요

최근 피해자
마리아나 부모처럼요

어제 부엌에서
봤어요

5, 6, 7번째 부모는
안 읽었지만

이웃이 구독했고요

풍선남은
구제업자였다가

지금은 밤에
신문을 돌리는군요

첫 세 명은
첫 직업에서 찾았고

나머지 다섯은
다음 직업에서

신문사와
통화 중이에요

마리아나 집 배달원을
알려줄 거예요

날 팁 주려고 하는
구독자로 알아요

네, 네

정말 감사합니다

낯익은 이름 보여요?

사무엘 아봇

아봇 모친이
집 주인이지만

6달 전에 죽었어

운전 면허증 갱신 때

이 주소를 넣었더군

이상 무!

깨끗합니다, 서장님

저건 뭐죠?

이전 방으로 가

"축하한다"?
누굴요?

우리요
집 찾았다고요

풍선 밑에 뭐야?

가져가겠습니다

내 걸 갖고 있지?

아담

내가 어떤 사람인지
알 거야

이미 6명을 죽였어

내일까지 내 아들을
데려오지 않으면

7명이 될 거다

제발 교환하세요
딸을 데려와 주세요

그리 간단하지
않습니다

저흰 피해자 교환은
안 합니다

아담 켐퍼가
피해자라고요?

검사가 면책을 준다는
뉴스 봤어요

아담이 피해자라면
면책은 뭐죠?

상황이 상황인 만큼
어쩔 수 없으니까요

언론에서는 아담이

범죄에 가담했을
가능성을 제기하지만

확증된 바 없습니다

확증하려면
얼마나 걸리는데요?

한 시간, 하루, 한 주?

내일 정오까지밖에
시간 없다면서요

아담 켐퍼의 의사는
물었나요?

19살 성인이에요

정말 그 괴물의
공범이라면

돌아가려 할 거
아니에요

학대 피해자는 종종

학대자를 옹호하죠

그렇다고 돌려보내선
안 됩니다

면책 거래가
진행 중입니다

- 왜 안 받죠?
- 충격이 심하니까요

부모에게도
말을 거의 안 해요

가자

딸이 조금이라도
잘못되면

당신 목도 무사하지
못 할 겁니다

- 이제 어쩌죠?
- 서류 다시 봐야죠

소녀가 있는 곳을
찾을 수 있는지

그럴 수도 있고

다른 수라도?

아담 부모는

경찰과 아이 사이에
벽을 쳤어

경찰은 얘기 못 해

"경찰은"

흥미롭네요

지금 어디 있죠?

- 왜 그래요?
- 아파서요

스쿼트 천 개밖에
안 했는데

당신 도움에
감사해요

- 기꺼이 들어줄게요
- 아니요

어젠 내가
경청했어요

까다로운 사람의
까다로운 방법을

대의를 위해
받아준다는 얘기

내가 알기론
드문 자질이죠

또 경청할지도
모르겠네요

진지한 잡담 말고요

사건 관련해서만

만나줘서 고맙다

아저씨만
절 이해해요

그 사람 찾아낸 거
알지?

사무엘 아봇

걱정되니?

제 아빠니까요

그래서 면책 서명이
망설여져?

아저씨라면
배신하겠어요?

난 사탕 때문에
배신했지만

그건 내 아빠니까

빨리 찾을수록
아봇에게 좋아

마리아나를 아직
해치지 않았잖아

아봇을 사랑했지만

그가 한 짓은
아니었잖아

난 알아

너한테 나쁜 짓
시켰지?

제 아빠예요

그래도 힘들었잖아

그래서
서명 안 하는 거야?

죄책감 때문에?

난 아빠가 전혀
이해 안 됐어요

하지만 사랑하니까

도와달라고 했을 때
그런다고 했어요

- 괜찮아
- 아니요

괜찮지 않아요
너무 혼란스러워요

아저씨는
솔직하다고 했죠?

그래

그럼 말해 보세요

제가 서명하고

아빠가 있는 곳을
말하면

제 죄가 사라질까요?

아니

네 아버지 때문에
여섯 명이 죽었어

네가 아빠를
얼마나 도왔든

죄는 절대
씻을 수 없어

하지만 노력은
해 봐야지

서명할게요

우리 사는 곳을
알려드릴게요

경찰이다! 총 버려!
움직이지 마!

총 버리고
아이를 놔 줘

아이 보내

당장!

어서!

아담에게
미안하다고 전해

아이는 괜찮아요
다치진 않았어요

집에 가서 쉬어요

- 괜찮아요?
- 예상과 달라요

- 누가요?
- 사무엘 아봇요

아담을 억압했으니

남성적일 줄
알았는데

그런데 좀

약해 보여요

등 보조기도 하고

흉터 셋은
대수술을 뜻해요

그래서 아담이
필요했던 거예요

들려요?

뭐가요?

아담이 여기서
잔 거예요?

왜 그래요?

저 밖의 아봇은

풍선남이 아니에요

안녕, 아담

여기서 뭐 하세요?

또 수다 떨러 왔지

- 어떻게 들어왔죠?
- 창문으로

그런데 손 안 베고
열었지 뭐야

방 창문 열다
손 베었다며?

네 방

사무엘 아봇 말고

그래서 오늘
네 방 보고 놀랐어

램프 둘, 정상 침대
텔레비전

궁전이더라
사무엘 방에 비하면

더러운 매트와
낡은 시트뿐이던데

아니, 거기가
내 방이었어요

거짓만 그만 해

네 방 창문 열다가
손 다쳤다고 했지

깨진 유리는
큰 침실에 있었어

사무엘 아봇은
풍선남이 아니야

- 너지
- 홈스 씨...

큰 방 베개를
살펴보니

짧고 까만
네 머리털만 보였어

작은 방 베개에선

사무엘 머리털만
보였고

큰 방은 네 거였어

네가 주인이었으니까

넌 날 속였어

아주 드문 일이지

멍청인 줄 알았는데

사실

꽤 영리해

머리가 좋아야겠지

납치범과의 관계를
뒤집으려면

넌 상상도 못 할걸

더 납치한 건
누구 생각이지?

아봇?

아니면 너?

갓 14살이라
외로웠어

아니, 넌 다른
피해자를 원했어

네가 당한 것처럼
고통 주려고

아니, 부모를 잊었네

TV에서 그들을 봤지

자식을 돌려달라며
괴물에게

울며 애원하는
부모들

사무엘이
날 데려갔을 때

처음엔
많이 힘들었어

그런데
TV를 보여준 거야

내 부모가 뉴스에서
하루에 한 번 이상

날 보내달라고
비는 걸 봤지

재밌게도 사무엘은
아무렇지도 않았어

- 내가 반응했지
- 흥분했군

내 본모습을
발견했어

관계를 뒤집는 건
어렵지 않았어

납치범 IQ가
90도 안 됐으니까

심리적 학대 후

신체적인 것들은
따라오지

마리아나와 나의
교환 제안도

내 생각이었어

비상 계획이었지
내가 잡히면

잡아둔 애를
인질로 이용하거나

새로 납치하기로

그 바보는 경찰이

교환 안 한다는 걸
전혀 몰랐어

대신 면책 거래를
제안하게 되지

거래를 덥석 물지
않으려고

무진 애를 썼겠군

나 죽이러 왔어
홈스 씨?

솔직히 말해서 아주...

흥분될 것 같거든

이 닦으러 갈 거야

돌아오면
여기 없겠지

참고로 난 이 도시에
오래 안 있을 거야

이동할 때가
된 것 같아

새로운 사람 만나러

우리 수다가
그리울 거야

검사실 친구가
답장 보냈는데

면책 계약은
빈틈없대요

"아담 켐퍼는
기소를 면한다"

"사무엘 아봇에게
협력한 범죄에 대해"

잘 알고 있어요
직접 검토했으니까

그 아이가 한 짓은
혐오스러워요

나도 정말 싫지만
달라진 건 있어요

마리아나를 살렸고

아담의 정체를
경찰에 알렸잖아요

내가 정신병자에게
면책을 줬어요

당신만 속은 게
아니잖아요

열 식히려면
스쿼트 해요

더 싸고 안전해요

어젯밤에 했다가
등 쑤셔서 못 해요

내가 언제
천 번이나 하래요

등 통증

그렇죠

고맙다

친애하는

등 통증아

안녕, 아담

저 부모가
비는 거 상상해?

무슨 소리야?
그냥 시간 보내는데

피곤해 보이네

그 말 요새
많이 들어

떠나기 전에

윌리엄에 대해
묻고 싶어서

네 5번째 희생자

부모는 빌리라고
불렀어

2009년 4월 3일에
납치한 애

금발 꼬마지
많이 울었어

즐거운 추억이겠지

하지만 깔끔하진
않았어

경찰이 시체를
찾았으니까

그 후엔
더 깊이 묻었지

도청할 경우를
대비해서

정확히 말하자면

아봇 씨가
그렇게 시켰지

누구 생각이었든
좋은 생각이었어

윌리엄 손톱 밑에서
피부를 찾았거든

가해자 중
한 명이지

아침에 아봇 DNA와
대조했어

불일치했겠지

그래서 뭐?

내 건데 어쩌라고?

- 난 면책이 있어
- 그래

절대 널
기소할 수 없지

풍선남에게
"협력한" 범죄는

중요한 건

사무엘 아봇이
3월 23일에

척추뼈 세 개가
부러졌다는 거야

그래서 구제 일을
관뒀고

등 보조기를 했지

수술 후
3주간 입원했어

내내 침대에
누워 있었겠지

납치 살인은
어려웠을 거야

하고 싶어도 말이지

병원 침대에 누워서
그건 불가능하지

난 면책이 있어

사무엘 아봇에게
협력한 범죄에 대해

하지만 윌리엄은
너 혼자 했잖아?

심심했어?

놀이 친구가
병원에 있어서?

아니, 말하지 마

관심 없으니까

날 잡으러 온 건가?

공원에 있다길래
바로 전화했지

도주해도 좋아

최근 중심부 운동을
시작했거든

효과 있나 봐야겠어

아니다

정정당당한 싸움은
너랑 안 맞지?

겨우 살인 하나야

사무엘이
날 학대했고

금방 나올 거야

뭐 해요?

모든 자극을
차단하게요

잘 시간이에요

안 돼, 하지 마요

우리가 성공에
상기됐을 때

두 배로 일해야죠

우리요?

당신, 나, 앵거스요

훌륭한 조합이죠

알죠? 당신 더
좋아하는 거

안 돼, 안 돼!

지금 원기가
넘친다고요

탄력받았어요

저건 무슨 차예요?

잠 오는 차요
해독과 정화를 해요

진정한 탐정이
묵은 사건을

파헤칠 때라고요

새로운 시각으로요

두고 봐요

해질 때까지
세 건 풀 테니까

Hey, Adam, remember me?

- Going to school, huh?
- Yeah.

Come on, I'll
give you a ride.

It's okay. It's on my way.

What are those for?

They're for your parents.

Get in, I'll explain.

You're not dressed.

You said you'd go

jogging with me
this morning.

Doesn't sound like me.

Have you been up all night?

I started digging through one
of the files I keep

on open serial murders
after you'd gone to bed,

and I lost track of time.

Still losing track of it,
as a matter of fact,

so, no jogging. Sorry.

I thought we both agreed
that a little exercise would

be a good addition
to your sobriety regimen.

For future reference, when I say
that I agree with you,

it means I'm not listening.

You know what else is great?
Jazzercise.

I'll get you some
leg warmers, a headband.

You'll look awesome.

I agree with you.

The Balloon Man?

Is that who you've
been researching?

Yeah. Came to my attention

while I was still
living in London.

New York's
very own bogeyman.

- Obviously, you've heard of him.
- Yeah.

He took his first victim

from Cobble Hill
about seven years ago.

I was living just
a few blocks away. Adam.

Adam something.
I think he's taken

six kids since then?

- Seven as of last night.
- What?

I heard it on my police
scanner app around midnight.

Ten-year-old Mariana Castillo

snatched from her bedroom
in Astoria, Queens,

the abductor's signature
batch of balloons

left fluttering behind.

I'd like to think that
Fleet Street would have devised

a more inventive sobriquet
than "The Balloon Man,"

but I do enjoy the inadvertent
E.E. Cummings reference.

Well, if you only heard it
on the scanner, then you haven't

actually been assigned
to the case.

Yet.

Child abductions
and serial murders mean

psychiatric consultants
and joint task forces,

which in turn means
that Gregson can't call me in

until the police
commissioner approves.

And he doesn't get in
until 8:30 a.m.

Sharp. Add approximately
three minutes for coffee,

another six for a trip
to the loo.

Should be calling me in about,
hmm, 15 minutes.

Or sooner.

Holmes.

Crescent Street, Astoria.

I'll be there presently.

I could have sworn I was wearing
a shirt at some point.

The girl's bedroom

is in the back.

Perp forced the lock on her
window around 9:30 last night,

took her, tied the
balloons to her bed.

Mom's a painter.
She went to a friend's gallery.

Dad went to the
bodega on the corner

to get some wine
around 9:45.

That's freshly broken.

By the girl, presumably,
grabbing for a handhold.

That's good.
She's a fighter.

If little girls could
actually win fights

against grown men, then, yeah,

it would be a cause
for great optimism.

What's this?

Parents are making a plea
to the twist that took their kid.

They mustn't.

Why not?

Excuse me. You can't do this.

We're live in ten, buddy,

so if you wouldn't mind.

You don't understand. It's...

We're on in ten, nine,
eight, seven, six,

five, four, three...
Look, I'm sorry.

Two, one.
Hey. Sherlock!

- I'm sorry. I warned him!
- What is this?

Who are you?
I'm just the man who's trying

to keep these people from
killing your daughter.

Mr. Holmes is a consultant with
the department, Mr. Castillo.

Daniel Peters, Kayla Jackson,
Billy Crawford.

Victims two, three and
five of the Balloon Man.

The only ones whose
bodies were found.

Forensics estimated
he kept Daniel alive

for a full day before burial,
Kayla for half a day,

Billy for almost two days.
Why the discrepancy?

Sherlock, they lost their
daughter. I think...

Last night, I discovered
a direct correlation

between the quickness

with which the killer
dispatched his victims

and the extent of their
parents' media exposure.

I could show you
the spreadsheet,

but in sum--
the more interviews,

the faster
the children died.

Is he right?

Usually.

I don't understand.

What does it matter
how many interviews we do?

The Balloon Man feeds off
the public grief

of his victims' families.

You nourish him,
he'll get bored, end the game.

Keep him hungry,

we might have two days.

You want to get
your little girl back?

It's simple.
You do everything I say.

♪ Elementary 1x03 ♪
Child Predator

Kemper.

Hmm?

That was the name

of the Balloon Man's
first victim.

Adam Kemper.
I just remembered.

The police found those
balloons on the sidewalk

where he'd taken Adam, the
ones that said, "Thank you"

Like Adam's parents had given
him some sort of gift.

I read all the articles
over the years.

I know it destroys
the victims' families,

but being here in
person is just...

Perhaps you'd like
to go outside.

I'm fine, thanks. I just...

No, it's not an expression
of concern. It's a request.

You're distracting me.

I'm distracting you.

Because clearly,
this is all about you.

Excuse me!
No, no, no, no, it's okay.

BELL:
Mr. Castillo, you can't

blame yourself
for what happened.

Actually, he can.

Excuse me?
Not for your daughter's

abduction, of course.

The kidnapper would have found
a way to take her eventually.

But you can and
should blame yourself

for impeding our
investigation.

I told you everything.

If everything includes
one very big lie.

Where's the wine that you
claimed you were buying

when your daughter
was taken last night?

In your hand.

And there's the lie.

Bodegas put the price tag
on the cap itself.

It saves stacking time.

Tag-- bottom.
You-- liar.

Obviously, you bought this
at another time,

presumably from the liquor store

on Atlantic where
you purchased

the case of Prosecco
you have in your pantry.

The bottle was
already in your fridge,

so it provided
an effective cover

as to why you were really
out of the house.

Tell us her name, Mr. Castillo,
right now.

Whose name?

His mistress.

There's no point

in trying to deny it.

Your lemon press gave you away.

Well, presses, to be precise.
One old.

One quite new,
less than a year. The pattern

repeats itself with
your two corkscrews,

the pepper mills.
The older items

belong to you and your wife.

The doubles were bought
by you when you moved

into your own place on Long Island.
How...?

I found a letter in your
mail forwarded to you

from a long-term stay
hotel chain in Islip.

I assume that you
and your wife separated

for a while,
and then reconciled?

Which brings me
to your Caller ID.

You took a 15-second call

from a Long Island area code

last night right before
you stepped out of the house.

Presumably, from the woman who
precipitated your separation.

She rang, you walked
out of the house.

Why else would you hide
information from the police

when you're clearly desperate
to get your daughter back?

When Sara and I were separated,
I dated a co-worker.

She called me last night, said
she was in the neighborhood

and needed to see
me, but I swear,

I only went out to
tell her the she had

to stay away for good.
How could you not say anything?

Where did you meet her?

On the street, a few houses
down from here, but I swear,

I didn't go into her car.
I just talked to her

through her window.
I'd like to speak with her.

She had nothing to do with this.
Probably not, but can you think

of anyone else who was parked
on your block last night?

'Cause if she was
waiting for you,

I assume she was
facing your house.

If she was facing
your house...

Maybe she saw
something that

could help us find the guy
who took your daughter.

I'm sorry.

I just... I can't believe
I'm the reason

that lunatic got his hands
on Roberto's daughter.

If I hadn't called him, then...

Now, Ms.-Ms. Thomas,
it's all right.

Did you see or hear anything
out of the ordinary?

I never got out of my car.

So, what now?

I was just looking
at Roberto...

Do we go back to the Castillo
house, talk to the parents more?

You're doing it again--
talking.

What? I'm not
supposed to talk?

Situations like these,

cases that require
my total concentration--

I talk to you,
never the other way around.

What in the hell...?
Shh, shh.

...and I headed
for the corner,

and then, um, some other car ran
the stop sign, almost hit me.

This was approximately when?
Never mind.

I already know. 9:40.

The vine that the girl managed

to pull free from the side
of the house-- it means

she was awake and struggling
when Balloon Man took her.

So?

So, examinations of
the three victims whose bodies

were recovered indicated
that he chloroformed them.

He got sloppy with Mariana
Castillo, rushed things.

Why? Because of the sirens.

What sirens?

Listening to my scanner
last night,

I heard a report that preceded
Roberto Castillo's call

to 911 by mere minutes.

Some sort of domestic dispute.
A squad car was dispatched

to an address less than two
blocks from the Castillo home,

sirens blaring.

You think the perp panicked, and
thought the sirens were for him.

So he grabbed
the girl and ran.

Stashed her in his car, and
then tore through the stop sign.

Right in front
of Ms. Thomas here.

The car that almost hit you--

do you remember
what it looked like?

Um, actually,
it was a van.

It's a kidnapper's vehicle of
choice. What else? Make? Model?

It happened so fast.

Uh, I'm not really a car person.

Are you a color person? I'll get
you started. Red? Blue? Black?

Brown. Dark brown.

So, what are we
looking for?

Home security camera?

Neighbor
with a photographic memory?

Hey, care to explain what
you said back at the station

about, you know, you talking
to me, not the other way around?

Yes, well aware
I'm doing it again.

I've found, over the years,

that nothing clears up
a difficult case

so much as stating it
to another person.

I talk, they listen,
and in talking,

I make connections
I may have otherwise missed.

One-way street, not two.

Who did you speak
to back in London?

Oh, lots of people.
Waitstaff, cabdrivers.

The occasional prostitute.

Better listeners
than you might think.

Right. You don't look good.

My appearance has always meant
so much to me.

You haven't eaten today, have you?

No sleep,
no food...

Will make Sherlock
a dull boy.

People in recovery
have a tendency to relapse

when they
haven't eaten...

You know what, Watson?

I take it all back.

I'm beginning
to find the chatter

that accompanies
your companionship

extremely useful.

A bit like white noise.

It puts me in a state where
I think, and I observe better.

For example...

What? If this is your idea
of a brown van,

then you're even more
sleep-deprived than I thought.

Note the parking tickets. Hmm?

It's been here for days.
Yet there are small

skid marks beneath each tire,

indicating it's been moved
several inches.

Someone sideswiped it.

My money is
on a speeding van

driven
by a panicked kidnapper.

Well, the paint from the
other car is supposed to be...

It's dark brown as per
Ms. Thomas' description.

But there's blue
and white paint

mixed in with the brown.
Means it's brown now,

but was originally painted
white and blue--

a very distinctive white
and blue as a matter of fact.

Detective Bell.

Excuse me.

We are looking for a
decommissioned NYPD van,

presumably sold at auction,
then painted brown.

It has a long scrape
down one side

where it struck
this sedan.

Issue the BOLO now,

we may find the Balloon
Man before lunch.

I'm not sleeping.

I'm just reviewing the details
of the case in my mind.

I'm sorry, were
you talking to me?

'Cause I thought I was

just a cavernous expanse
between two ears.

You mustn't be
so sensitive, Watson.

The service you're providing
is quite valuable.

For a brief stretch
in London,

I talked only to a phrenology
bust I kept in my study.

I named him Angus.

Wasn't the same.

I realized that when
it came to listeners,

I preferred animate
to inanimate.

Was quite
a breakthrough, really.

Angus.

I'm glad I made it to
the animate category.

Just got a hit
on our BOLO.

Car Five, you
still got the eye?

Yeah, driver's a male white
wearing a hoodie.

All I can make out.

Aviation One, you getting anything
on the thermal imaging?

Negative.
We're too high to see if...

He made us.
Heading north on 78th.

Police!
Hands up!

She's not here.

Cap, that's not our guy.

He would have been
in sixth grade

when Balloon Man took
his first victim.

Hey, what are you doing?

Holmes.
Sorry,

it's just that,
well, according

to that birthmark on his neck,

you're quite right.

This is not the man that took
Adam Kemper back in 2005.

This is Adam Kemper.

Adam.

Adam, please
talk to me.

Now, we know who you are, Adam,

your fingerprints confirmed it,
so come on,

tell me how you ended up
in that van.

We've got
a psychiatrist coming,

but I don't think it's going
to make much difference.

This kid just doesn't
want to engage.

Well, have you notified

his parents?
Commissioner

made the call.

They're on their way.

Should only take 'em
an hour

to fight through
all the media outside.

Story of the century, this.

Missing boy presumed dead,
recovered after all these years.

Well, the fact that he was
found in a van that we thought

belonged to the
Balloon Man--

that's obviously more
than a coincidence, right?

I read about a
case like this.

Police in Dubuque
found a 15-year-old

who'd been missing
for seven years.

Now, the man who
had taken him

had enrolled
him in school.

He even let him have
friends over to the house.

The boy never tried to
leave because he had grown

to sympathize
with his captor.

If that's what's
happened here,

it would explain why Adam
was running from the police

instead of to them.

Because he's actually grown
to care for the lunatic.

If Adam's
still alive,

maybe some of the
other victims are, too.

Adam was special-- his first.

The Balloon Man's second
and third victims are

two of only three
to be recovered.

Their condition suggests that
he rather liked the killing.

After he had a taste, I don't
believe he ever looked back.

Question now is,
what role did Adam play

in their deaths?

You think Adam helped him?

Well, you said it yourself:
he sympathized with his captor.

Question is, to what degree?

We did find him
in that van.

CSU is processing it
for evidence

to try and prove whether
Mariana Castillo was inside.

In the meantime, we've got
Adam on auto theft,

but if he doesn't start
talking to us soon,

we're going to run
out of time to find

the Castillo girl.

I want to talk to him.

I think I can get
through to him.

Holmes, this is a
delicate situation.

And I can, on occasion, be
indelicate, I'm well aware,

but if you think
I'd do anything

to jeopardize the
life of that girl...

Intentionally,
of course not.

We're talking
about a kid here--

a kid that's been traumatized,
maybe even brainwashed.

A kid who wouldn't even be
here if it wasn't for me.

What, oh, you think that gives
you the right to question him?

You're a consultant,
not a cop.

And given
the very real possibility

that the young man
is accessory

to several horrific crimes,
maybe "not a cop"

is exactly what he needs
at the moment, hmm?

Ten minutes--
that's all I ask.

You've got five.

Hello, Adam.

My name is Sherlock.

You can probably tell
from my accent,

I'm not a New York City
police officer,

nor am I
a psychiatrist,

which makes me the only person
you're going to talk to today

who isn't going
to lie to you.

The people
who were here earlier--

Detective Bell
and the others--

they told you that the man
who took you seven years ago

was a bad man,
that he hurt you, abused you.

But they don't know
the whole story, do they?

He also took care of you,

kept a roof over your head,

taught you to drive.

Loved you.

My father
packed me off

to boarding school when I was
just eight years old.

I was a little bit
of a know-it-all--

well, I was
a massive know-it-all, actually.

Turned a lot of the other boys

at the school against me, hmm,

especially one
by the name of Anders Larson.

Now, over the course
of the next year,

Anders took his anger

out on me in, uh,
myriad cruel and terrible ways--

nothing close to what
you experienced, of course, but

it seemed worth mentioning.

You see...
the more Anders hurt me...

...the more I felt gratitude

that he was actually
paying attention to me.

That in, in tormenting me,
he was attempting

to correct what I knew
to be wrong with myself.

One day,

after a particularly brutal
lesson...

...left me in a very bad way,

a teacher asked me
who was responsible.

I said I'd fallen
down the stairs.

Funny, the things
that we do

for the people
that we care about.

Uh, did he do that to you--

the person that you care about?

No.

I was in my room

the other night...
and it was hot.

I tried to open the window,
but it was stuck,

and my hand went
through the pane.

And he took care of me.

He put a bandage on it.

Of course he did.

He loves you.

He does everything for me.

He comes home

every morning
and brings me doughnuts.

He doesn't need to, but he does.

I never even asked...

No more questions.

He lawyered up.

Via telepathy?

Via his parents.

They're here.

I'm sorry, I
know you have

questions for
Adam, but come on,

you think we don't know that
you think Adam may have had

something to do
with what happened

to the other
children?

It's a possibility, yes,

which is why we'd like
to keep talking to him--

to see if he can help us find
Mariana Castillo.

I can't imagine what they're
going through right now.

Hmm?

By the way, that was
really something

back there with Adam.

The story about your bully
was really very moving.

Any of it true?

I went
to boarding school.

You should know, Captain,
that we've already broached

the possibility
of an immunity deal

with the district attorney's
office.

Adam would be given immunity
for any crimes

he may have been compelled
to commit

by the individual who took him,

and in exchange he'd tell you
everything he knows about the man.

He'll also help you try and locate
the bodies of the victims

that were never recovered.

We expect to hear back
from the D.A. by morning.

By then it may be too late
for the Castillo girl.

Which is why we
very much hope

that you'll support
our proposal.

Excuse me, I'm sorry.

Yes?

Support the proposal,
don't support it.

It doesn't matter.

My conversation with Adam
may have been aborted,

but it was far
from a total waste.

What do you mean?
Adam said the Balloon Man

comes home every morning
with doughnuts.

That means he works nights.

It doesn't sound
like much, I know,

but it's more than we previously
knew about him.

And you think
you can run with that?

From a drop of water, a logician
can infer the possibility

of an Atlantic or a Niagara

without having seen
or heard of either one.

I've got my drop of water.

Now allow me to infer.

He worked nights-- you
think that's really going

to be enough to identify
the Balloon Man?

Of course not,
but it's a start.

Our previous suspect pool
included

virtually every man in the city.

Now it's been reduced
to every man who works nights.

You're gonna stay up all
night again, aren't you?

You can't stop me,
Watson.

I don't care how I look,
I don't care how I smell,

I'm not going to sleep.

Well, I have no intention
of stopping you.

I mean, what you're doing
to your body isn't healthy,

you know, especially for
someone so fresh out of rehab,

but I get it.

I will happily loan you
my ears if it means

getting Mariana Castillo
back alive and well.

I appreciate that,
but at the moment

I do not require
a listener.

I will have nothing
to talk about

until I've reviewed
all of these files.

All right, then,
I'll take a box.

No, no, no, it doesn't
work like that.

My brain is the filter

all this needs to go
through, not yours.

I need to read every
word, study every image.

All right, then,
I'll help you stay awake.

All right, you know
where the coffee is.

It's not
about the coffee.

Whoa, then, what
are you proposing?

I'm gonna teach you
something--

a little trick that I learned
back in medical school.

This is what they taught
you in medical school?

When I was cramming for a test
and I was tired,

I would do a hundred of these,
get my blood pumping.

Kept me from falling asleep.

I was valedictorian.

I'm just saying.

Watson!

He changed jobs.

Who?

The Balloon Man.

A few years ago, the
FBI worked a theory

that he was an
exterminator.

Adam Kemper's family had
had their house fumigated

just the week before
he disappeared.

Yes, I'm still
holding, yes.

No one thought
much of it

until these were taken

right outside the homes
of victims two and three.

Oh, both neighbors
had their houses tented.

In 2008, the FBI interviewed
all 35 of the employees

of the company that
fumigated the Kempers' home,

but failed to elicit
any strong suspects.

They eventually discarded their
theory when no connection

to extermination was found
in or around the homes

of the subsequent victims.

See, the thing is, I think
they were onto something.

I think the Balloon Man
was an exterminator,

but then changed jobs between
victims three and four.

See this?

It's a copy of The
Investor's Post.

You can tell from
the distinctive

salmon-colored
paper stock.

The parents of victim number
four had a subscription.

As do the parents
of Mariana Castillo,

the most recent victim.

I saw one in their
kitchen yesterday.

The parents of victims
five, six and seven

are not subscribers, but
have neighbors who are.

So the Balloon Man was an
exterminator; now he delivers

papers at night for
The Investor's Post.

Mm, he identified his first
three victims through

his first job, his last five
victims through his second.

I'm on the phone
with the paper now.

They're telling me the name
of the man responsible

for the Castillos' route.

They think I'm
a subscriber,

looking to send
a belated tip.

Yes, yes, hello.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

See any familiar names?

♪.

Abbott's mother is listed

as the owner of the apartment,
but she died six months ago.

He put it as his home address
the last time

he renewed his driver's license.

Clear!

We got nothing, Captain.

The place is clean.

What's that?

Smith, Smith,

head back to that room.

Copy that.

"Congrats."

To who?

To us.

For finding his place.

Smith, what is that
on the balloon?

Bringing it to you, Captain.

You have something that's mine.

You have Adam.

You know who I am
and you know what I can do.

I've already killed six people.

If you haven't
released my son back to me

by noon tomorrow,

you can make it seven.

Please.

Make the trade.

Bring us back our daughter.

I'm afraid it's not that simple,
Mrs. Castillo.

The department can't trade
one victim for another.

Is that what you really
think Adam Kemper is?

I saw on the news
this morning,

the D.A. offered him
an immunity deal.

If he's just a victim, what
does he need immunity from?

Given the givens
in this case,

the D.A. felt
he had to offer that deal.

Now, I know the media
has broached the possibility

of Adam being involved somehow
in the Balloon Man's crimes,

but we haven't confirmed
any of that yet.

So how long do we wait for
you to confirm something?

Um, an hour, a day, a week?

I mean, he just said we only
have till noon tomorrow.

Mr. Castillo...
Has anybody asked Adam Kemper

what he wants?

He's 19-- an adult.

If he was really some sort of
partner to this monster,

then isn't it possible
that he wants to go back?

Victims of horrific abuse

are often protective
of their abusers.

It doesn't mean we should
send them back for seconds.

No, listen,

the immunity deal
is on the table.

Then why hasn't
he taken it?

Because he's been
traumatized.

He's hardly speaking,
even to his own parents.

Come on.

If anything happens
to our daughter,

your head is the one we're going
to be calling for in the press.

So now what?

We go back to the files.

We see if there's
any clue that we missed

as to where Abbott is
keeping the girl.

That's one option.

You have another?

When Adam's parents
hired a lawyer,

they put a wall
between him and the NYPD.

No cop can talk to him.

No cop.

That's interesting.

And where is he now?

What?

I'm sore.

Only did about a thousand
squats last night.

Listen, I wanted to thank
you for all of your help.

Well, always happy
to listen.

No, no, no,
actually, Watson,

I was the one who
listened last night,

and I heard someone who
was willing to accommodate

the difficult process
of a difficult person

for the greater good.

It's a rare quality,
in my experience.

I may even listen to you
again in the future.

Not your sobriety
twaddle, of course.

Just your thoughts
on cases.

Thank you
for seeing me, Adam.

You're the only
one who gets it.

Well, you know by now we've
identified him, don't you?

Samuel Abbott?

Are you worried about him?

He's my dad.

Is that why you've been hesitant
to sign the immunity deal?

Would you turn in your dad?

I'd trade my dad for a Tic Tac,

but that's my dad, not yours.

The sooner we find him,
the better off he'll be.

He hasn't hurt
Mariana Castillo yet.

You loved him...

but you didn't love
what he did.

I can tell.

He did make you help
with the others, didn't he?

He's my dad.

That doesn't mean
it wasn't hard.

Is that why you didn't want
to sign the deal?

Because you don't feel
you deserve it?

I never...

I never knew why it was
so important to him.

But I loved him.

And when he asked me to take--
help take the others,

then I told him I'd do that.

It's okay.

No, it isn't.

Nothing's okay.
I'm so confused.

I don't know what
I'm supposed to do.

You told me the other day
that you'd never lie to me.

That's right.

So tell me.

If I sign that deal,

and if I tell you
where you can find him,

do you think it'll make up
for the things I've done?

No, I don't.

Six other children are dead,
thanks to your dad.

To whatever degree
you assisted him,

you will never get their blood
off your hands.

But that doesn't mean
you shouldn't try.

Okay.

I'll sign the papers.

I'll tell you where we live.

That's where
you'll find the girl.

Drop the gun and let her go.

Now!

Tell Adam I'm sorry.

Mariana's okay.

She's terrified.

She hasn't been hurt.

You can go home, get some rest.

You okay?

He wasn't what I was expecting.

Who?
Samuel Abbott.

He dominated Adam.

I was expecting
a more virile man.

Just seems a bit...

feeble.

And that back brace.

Three scars.

Means major surgery, multiple
operations, fused vertebrae.

Makes sense that
he would've needed Adam

to help him get around.

Do you hear that?

What?
What...?

My God.

This is where
Adam slept?

What's wrong?

That man out there, Abbott,
is not the Balloon Man.

Hello, Adam.

Mr. Holmes,
what are you doing here?

Thought it was time for
another one of our little chats.

How did you get into my room?
Through the window.

Somehow I managed to open it
without slicing my hand.

You said that...

you cut your hand
trying to open a window

in your room.

Your room.
Not Samuel Abbott's.

So imagine my surprise
when I saw your room today.

Two lamps, proper bed,
television.

Virtual palace
compared to Samuel's room.

All he had was a stained
mattress and a tattered sheet.

No, you're talking
about my room.

That's where he made me sleep.
No,

don't lie to me, Adam,
not again.

You told me when we met
that you injured your hand

trying to open a window

in your room,
the master bedroom.

That's where
the broken pane was.

Samuel Abbott
was not the Balloon Man.

You were.

Mr. Holmes, I-I...
I examined the pillows

in the larger room--
I found nothing

but short, dark hair--
your hair.

On the pillows
in the smaller room,

I found nothing
but Samuel's hair--

stringy and gray.

You occupied the master bedroom

because you were the master.

You tricked me, Adam.

That doesn't happen very often.

I thought you were a dullard.

You're actually...

quite brilliant.

It must take
a huge intellect

for a boy to turn the tables
on the man who abducted him.

You have no idea.
Whose idea

was it to take more children?

Was it his... or was it yours?

I'd just turned 14;
I was lonely.

No. What you wanted was
to make someone else the victim,

hurt them...

like you'd been hurt.

No, you're forgetting
the parents.

They're the ones
that I got to see on TV,

crying, begging
the monster

who took their son or daughter
to give them back.

See, when Samuel took me,
it was very difficult at first.

I had to put up
with a lot.

But he did let me watch TV,

and so I got to see
my parents on the news

at least once a day, pleading

with Samuel
to let me go.

And the funny
thing was,

he wasn't
the least bit affected.

But I was.

You got off on it.

I really found myself.

And as for how I turned
the tables on him,

let's just say
it's not very difficult

when your captor has an IQ

south of 90.

Psychological abuse
followed by physical--

all very standard.

And the trade
he proposed yesterday--

Mariana for me--
wasn't even his idea.

It was a
contingency plan.

If I ever got caught,
he was supposed

to use the hostage that we had,

or take a new one,
to secure my release.

And the idiot didn't even have
a clue that the police

would never go for that
in a million years.

But you knew it
would give them incentive

to offer you an immunity deal.

Must have taken
everything you had

not to jump on that deal
the first time it came up.

Are you here to kill me,
Mr. Holmes?

Because I
have to admit

I find the possibility
very... exciting.

I'm gonna go brush my teeth now.

I don't think you're gonna
be here when I get back.

If it's any
consolation,

I don't think I'm gonna stay
in this city much longer.

I think it's time
to move someplace else,

meet new people.

I'm gonna miss our little chats.

I just got an e-mail from my
friend from the D.A.'s office.

He said the language
from the immunity agreement

is pretty ironclad. "Adam Kemper
. is immune from prosecution."

"For any crimes committed
in consort with Samuel Abbott,

aka the Balloon Man."

Yes, I'm quite familiar
with the phrasing.

I've been reviewing it myself.

Look, what that
kid did is... disgusting.

I hate the fact that he's
out there in the world.

But you did make
a difference.

You saved Mariana,

and you told the police

what kind of person
Adam Kemper really is.

I handed a psychopath
a get-out-of-jail-free card.

You're not the only one
he fooled.

If you're trying to blow off
steam, squats would be cheaper.

Easier on the decor, too.
I can't.

I overdid last night
and pulled a muscle.

My back's been sore all day.

I said a hundred squats,
not a thousand.

Back pain.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Dear sweet...

back pain.

Morning, Adam.

You picturing

those two begging for
their son's life?

No, it's nice out-- I'm
just passing the time.

You look kind of tired.

I'm getting that
a lot lately.

Listen, before you leave town,
I wanted to ask you

about William Crawford.

Your fifth victim.

Parents called him Billy.
Ah.

You abducted him on April 3,

2009.
Right, yeah.

Blond boy.
He cried a lot.

Well, yes, I'm sure you
could reminisce all day.

Still, not your
cleanest work.

The police found
his body on April 7.

Yeah, we buried him
deeper after that.

Actually, let me be
clear about that,

in case you have somebody listening
to our conversations.

Mr. Abbott made me bury
them deeper after that.

Whoever had the idea,
I think it was a good one,

because the police found skin
under William's fingernails.

Definitely came from
one of his attackers.

We ran it against Samuel
Abbott's DNA this morning.

And let me guess
it didn't match.

Is this supposed
to be scaring me?

It's probably mine.

So what?
I have an immunity deal.

Yes, you do.
You cannot be prosecuted

for any crimes committed, quote,
"in consort with," unquote,

the Balloon Man.

Thing is...

Samuel Abbott broke
three vertebrae in his back

on March 23, 2009.

That's why he couldn't work
as an exterminator anymore.

That's why he wore a back brace.

The surgery had him
in hospital for three weeks.

I believe he was
in traction the entire time.

Difficult to abduct
and murder a young boy

when you're feeling well,

I'd imagine.

From a hospital bed,
I'd say it was impossible.

I have an immunity deal.

For crimes committed in consort
with Samuel Abbott.

But you took William Crawford
on your own, didn't you?

What happened?

You get bored while
your playmate was in hospital?

Actually, you know what,
don't tell me,

'cause... I don't care.

Are those for me?

I called them right after your
parents told me you were in the park.

You're welcome
to try and run.

I've recently started
developing my core, you know?

Could use a bit of a workout.

Oh, no. A fair fight's
not really your speed, is it?

It was only one murder.

And Samuel

abused me.

I'll be out soon.
