Original subtitles

Vincent: 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.

Catherine: 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.

Vincent: 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.

(phone rings)

Catherine: You have reached 555-8291.

Please leave a message after the beep.

(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...

(sing-songy): 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!

(beep)

(distant rhythmic tapping)

(footfalls approaching)

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.

Father: 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.

Watcher: I didn't like your hair.

Don't wear it that way again.

(tape rewinding)

(beep)

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. (watch beeping)

Open the drapes. (watch beeping)

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?

(sighs) 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?

(device beeping)

(beeping)

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?

(chuckles)

Don't ask.

File an appeal.

Reel him in, radcliffe.

Catherine: "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?

(sighs)

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.

(siren wailing in distance)

(door opens)

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.

(sighs)

We're alone in this.
