The Watcher
2000/I
Joel Campbell: His last alias was David Allen Griffin. I worked the case for three and a half years in Los Angeles. We attributed at least 11 homicides to him. Lt Hollis: What's he doing in Chicago. Joel Campbell: I assume he's still strangling young women with piano wire.
Joel Campbell: It's never quite that easy. You go through the door, and they're never just sitting there waiting for you with a welcoming smile on their face. best you can do is hope they fuck up and do what you can to be there when they do. Dr Polly Beilman: And then blame yourself for the killings? Joel Campbell: Oh, no. I blame the asshole who did them.
David Allen Griffin: (to Dr Polly Beilman) Do you think... some of your patients might pay to come see you because... you're very pretty.
David Allen Griffin: Why did you turn away from me? Why was it so hard for you to accept? Cos you know I did it for you. You came so close to me that night. I remember clearly what I felt when I heard your footsteps falling behind me. Pride. I thought it would keep us together forever. For me it was our finest moment. I can still see the flames.
(Joel surrenders his gun to David in the cemetery - they begin to walk and David has the gun pointing downwards - a loud bang is heard) David Allen Griffin: Wow. It's loaded.
Lt Hollis: Well, damned if you haven't found the worst restaurant in the whole goddamn city.
