But the thing is, you can't study child development and think anyone is going to take it seriously -- if you only have one subject. It's just another case history. So, what we're setting up is a control group of gifted children. We'll need at least five. None of them older than three years old. That's why I wanted to talk to you about Sam, being one of --"

• (John Lithgow) "Carter's inside."
• (Frances Sternhagen) "Inside where?"

• (Frances Sternhagen) "The raw data was extradordinary detailed. It was as if he had gotten into a time machine and gone back to witness each one of Cain's personality-splitting traumas as it occured. I was never allowed to meet Cain. His true identity was known only to Dr. Nix. All the information I had, I transcribed from tapes recorded during their sessions."
• (Gregg Henry) "So, uh -- how do you think he got this information?"
• (Frances Sternhagen) "I never knew for sure. But years later when he got arrested for trying to buy babies, I suspected there could only be one answer."
• (Sgt. Cally) "Yeah?"
• (Frances Sternhagen) "He had created Cain's multiple personalities in order to study them. He had taken some innocent child and split its personality. Now, he needed a control booth to test his theories. That's what he was buying the babies for."

• (Frances Sternhagen) "I was especially interested in his work on multiple personalities. We wrote a book together based on one of his patients. In the book we called him Cain."

• (Frances Sternhagen) "He had many more faces than that detective."
• (Gregg Henry) "Down here. So what was the book called?"
• (Frances Sternhagen) "'Raising Cain: The Creation and Evolution of the Multiple Personality.' It was a best-seller. They even made a TV movie out of it."

• (Frances Sternhagen) "Hypnotism is the fastest, though not always the most prudent method."
• (Gregg Henry) "We gotta find these babies now."
• (Frances Sternhagen) "Then I will need an absolutely quiet space where I can be alone with Carter."
• (Gregg Henry) "Whatever you need -- and do it fast. I don't want to be walking behind any little coffins."

Gregg Henry as Lt. Terri

• (Gregg Henry) "Well, let's hope he's not too nuts."
• (Lolita Davidovich) "What do you mean?"
• (Gregg Henry) "Too nuts to go to jail."
• (Steven Bauer) "You mean, he might not go to jail?"
• (Gregg Henry) "First, we gotta find out if he's competent to stand trial. Even if he is, any smart lawyer'll plead him not guilty by reason of insanity. And, depending on what Waldheim finds out, Carter could wind up a celebrity mental case in some cushy institution."

• (Gregg Henry) "Poor guy. This is gettin' out of hand Sean."
• (Sgt. Cally) "Yep. It seems like a serial to me. A detective's dream. The motiveless murder."
• (Gregg Henry) "What've we got now? Two moms, a baby-sitter and all their kids are gone."
• (Sgt. Cally) "From the same playground."
• (Barton Heyman) "And this Dr. Nix."
• (Sgt. Cally) "What do you mean?"

• (Lolita Davidovich) "And I can help you."
• (John Lithgow) "Don't let me die, Jenny."
• (Lolita Davidovich) "I want to know what you've done with Amy."
• (John Lithgow) "Amy? What are you saying?"
• (Lolita Davidovich) "I want answers, Carter."

• (Mel Harris) "Well, that doesn't make any sense."

• (Barton Heyman) "Well, maybe you can tell me who this Dr. Nix is."
• (Sgt. Cally) "It's that guy over there working with Peters."
• (Barton Heyman) "Yeah, any dope can see that. But I worked another Nix case twenty years ago."
