Police just walk around just take everything in.
And what happened to Kimberly.
You two are friends? As much as she let me.
She is a pretty quiet person.
Won't close to anybody except her assistant.
I don't mean to blame but it's really tough to find any friends when you're suspicious of everybody.

He made her life a living hell.
He used to send her pictures of herself.
What kind of pictures? Well, just doing everyday things, like reading a story, eating at restaurant.
You store at your mind of every one of them.

It sent a middle value, I suppose.
I am old tears You cann't chip here because you have two pieces missing.
Oh would you like a cup of tea? you seem a little tense.
What the hell I suppose to do with this.
.
? Jarod said a man you have lunch with tomorrow will be able to help.
What man? Where? Jarod said you know.
You would never know where the Chuck's Lobster House, would you? All the women never know the exact motives of the person who stalked Kimberly Green, I've identified several character traits which all stalkers exist by getting into the stalker's head becoming a stalker First of all most stalkers will believe the victim belongs to him, and him alone.
and attempting to control the victim's life through fear.
by controlling victim's actions with fear.
And manipulate her ability to interact with other people.
A fear achieved by avoiding face-to-face competitions.
It's what the victim can't see.
That's the most terrified.
And, what may have happened in the case of Kimberly Green the victim rejects the stalker'sattemps to control her life.
The stalker's no longer in control.
And can turn to else.
Zoe, I'm sorry.
It's okay.
We're done.
Thank you.
I've been on this issue before but never think it is like this.
-What you call it again? -A simulation.
I needed to get inside the head of someone who's doing some pretty horrific things.
You did a great job, thank you.
Oh one question.
Why did you walk up to that police man? The strange officer catches the stalker for me That's a little out there.
I've started to feel kind of weird you know.
Oh I'm sorry to get too weird.
I didn't mean to scare you.
Yeah, well.
I saw the cop and I figured it was talk to you to feel a little nervous.
What I don't usually remember my dreams but this ridiculous one wasuh II was sitting in some kind of bar, and was walking around, whenever.
AndI was trying to flirt with the bar tenderwho was a woman.
All this time we're talking saying somereally clever things.
And, you know, I, I dream clever.
And then, she turns around.
And it's Miss Parker.
And now, I'm, I'm really turned on and She reaches out and grabs me and poses me across the bar and starts me on my brother.
Sorry interrupt your session.
A session? We're not having a session.
But I'm trying to get a beat on Miss Parker.
-Have either of you seen her? -No.
Not since lunch.
Oh, no, ah, actually I think she said something about pursuing a lead on Jarod.
Really? Yep.
Lunch in Maine? Need trick.
Never call me when she returns, From lunch.
How did he know about our sessions? You think you're the part of the planter? Sydney? Wow! Sorry! I haven't seen you.
You have a good eye, not being a photographer? Kindkind of hobby.
It'sit's honest.
You captured her.
If the rest of these are like this, you should do the shooting work.
I couldn't do that, never.
What's wrong? Cindy.
I found this on my He's up to me now.
Why? Because he needs new target.
I want you to move in with me.
I'll hire private 24 hours security guard.
That can't make any difference if he wants to get me, he'll get me.
Just like he got Kimberly.
Welcome Chuck's Lobster House madam.
May I help you? Oh, Miss Parker.
Is there anyone in this doesn't know me? Jarod's table is this right this way.
You've got a company.
Jarod's here.
I am afraid it's only me.
Ben? Interesting thing, Jarod has set us up.
Well police explored super model Kimberly Green's death accidental.
Her sister Erika Green believes like many, she was murderd by the stalker who have been harassing her for months.
Her sister Erika Green believes like many, she was murderd by the stalker ''Sister Mourns Super Model's Death'' My name is Jarod Adams.
I'm a photographer with the Darrin Faxon Agency.
I don't have anything to say you people.
The stalker's back.
He's up to one of your sister's friends, Cindy Thomas.
Come in.
It's not more difficult for missing family.
Kimberly wasn't the stalker's only victim.
I lost the only family I ever had.
When was this taken? One of the fast homes we were in.
We had a strange childhood that I didn't understand.
OhI might.
We growed up in the system, went from one fast home to another.
You never knew what kind of situation you were walking into.
But in my word, Kimberly would never let anyone hurt us.
Yes.
Look, this is the fourth time I told you people I am not switching.
I tell you what, why don't you give me your home number and I call you back.
I don't think so.
I can't stand.
I know what you mean.
I think I would like your sister.
She strikes means of survival.
She was.
There was the only one thing she couldn't handle.
Feeling trapped.
My whole life, but the stalk.
One for the other.
A way out was all she could think about.
I am sure it was on her mind when the car went off the bridge.
At least now she is at peace.
''The river was dredged, the body was never found.
Search party was called off 23 hours later.
'' Yes, .
town of Florida.
May I help you? Thank you.
It's the only information I need.
I wonder that you want a long distance business, Erika.
Jarod, Jarod.
Jarod.
Are you ok? Yeah, I'm alright.
Don't have to do that again, Jarod.
I thought you were dead.
I thought if I pretended to be dead, everyone would leave me alone.
You and me both, Kimberly.
You and me both.
-Another.
-Right away, Miss Parker.
Courtesy of Jarod, I think I have finally reached the end of my rope.
Afraid, am I that.
I haven't seen this in years.
Was it yours? No.
It was your mother's.
Jarod stayed with me a few month ago.
It started to make sense by now.
What is? It was pre-occupation with your mother.
And, this.
He told me the next time you and I met, to give it to you.
I don't know why but, I have been carrying it with me everywhere.
She is a dancer in there.
I am afraid it doesn't work without the other figurine.
I am sorry I don't know where it is.
I thought this was lost.
But Jarod found itin an antique along with other items belong to your mother.
She bought it one day when we were togther.
It always reminded me of her delicated beauty, her graceful dancer skate.
My mother was a dancer? A great one.
She never told you? I am learning that there are a lot of things she never told me.
But it is a lesson I took as child.
Do you still dance? No I stop She stopped too.
After she met your father.
Ben, do you know where my father is? He is missing.
And Jarod led me here and hoped that I would find him.
I'm sorry.
I don't know about your father.
Only your mother.
So, It's gonna been taken any time? You know that it wasn't.
Erika I know you speaks to your sister every night at ten thirty.
I am not the stalker.
And you're expecting me to just believe that? I know where Kimberly is.
If I was the stalker, if I wanted to invade her privacy, I would be doing that instead of standing here talking to you, the one person that can help her to trust me.
I understand how she feels.
No one could understand that.
I do.
I told you, Jarod.
You are safe here.
They are not watching you.
This is the only camera in the office.
I took it down this morning.
Remember, it's only a special favor to you.
I have to put it back in a few minutes.
So we can talk? Just you and me? You can do anything you like.
What is it, Jarod? There's something in the clock.
Right here in the middle.
You said they were not watching.
Jarod, believe me I didn't know.
You said I would be safe here, you promised.
Jarod.
Damn you.
After he attacked, making my death was my way out.
Out of one trap into another.
It's living nightmare just happen now.
What is it about? Always the same thing.
His eyes.
The night he attacked, I felt his eyes on me all day long.
As I approached my building, I turned.
And he was standing there, wearing a ski-mask, hiding his face, and he tried to put acid on mine.
The only thing I registered was eyes.
Tell me about it.
They were cold, had no feeling.
Was there any place that you felt safe? Home.
And the Agency.
But you know at the end I thought I was being watched even there.
I think I was just being paranoea.
I don't think so.
The public doesn't know who Cindy Thomas is.
But the stalker does.
You think he's access to the Agency? I don't know.
But I need your help to find out.
I need you to help me find those eyes.
No, Jarod.
It's the only way out of this trap.
Trust me.
Together we will win.
The relationship between your mother and I last almost fifteen years before she died.
I can still see her beautiful vision walking out the on the sunny day of April.
I was on the ladder when she called to me.
Her broken down.
And she tried to fix it herself.
Yes, she was covered in oil.
So did you help her with crack? She helped me to the doctor, I.
.
lost the ladder.
That's all she was, always helping others.
Even when she was in need.
Is that .
.
spring you two fell in love? That's was the spring we became friends.
That's what we were for many years.
She would come up to the end of every April, spend the first two weeks.
and that for thoses weeks of joy.
It may sound cony but this is simple thing she loved.
Gathering flowers on by the lake, Watching the stars.
Catherine had a non-quenchable zest for life.
A sparkle, until, She met my father? Oh, at first she seemed happy, but, year after year they sparkle faded.
But she kept coming to see you.
I was an oasis, the life she was trapped in.
She never told me about that life, only her feelings.
I swear she was for me.
It was many years before our lips touched.
But I truely believe that we were met spend our lives each other.
We can only have what we had.
I hate, to know that she was so sad.
She was until you came along.
After you were born the sparkle returned.
You gave her the strength to remember who she was.
She was making big changes in her life.
Then she was gone.
God I miss her.
I do too.
Don't be sad.
She was never sad when she talked about you.
That is all she really ever wanted to talk about.
What's the other figurine that went in here? Another dancer, a little girl.
Shame they can't dance together any more.
What are you doing here? Your work.
It's excellent.
I can't believe you never show this to anybody.
I told you I couldn't do that.
Toby you have a gift.
It's like the camera speaks for you.
These arebeautiful people.
I am notnot one of them.
Beauty is more than appearance.
It's also about real emotion.
I looked your photographs especially the eyes of your subjects, and I see a lot of that emotion.
What do you want? Toby took these? Everyone who was at the shoot.
Anything? No.
Maybe wasn't there.
Maybe he changes his habits.
Stalkers always hunt their prey in the same way over and over again.
Who was there? What's this? Who's figure behind the back drop? Oh, my God.
Brian.
Too, no Oh, please, send this one tomaybe you need new hand model.
Ah, this is just give me for you, Brian.
-Mr.
Faxon, .
.
is going on the conference now.
-Oh, lovely.
Kimberly.
Hello Brian.
Kimberly.
Kimberly.
Kimberly.
Hey.
What's your problem? My name is Zoe.
OhI am sorry I thought you What? Hey! Who's there? You are trapped, Brian.
Now how is it feel? -Over here, Biran.
-Kimberly.
-This way, Brian.
-Cindy.
You can't see us.
But we can see you.
Now we have all the power.
Who are you? I am you, Brian.
I am weak.
I am a coward.
I hide in shadows and watch.
Because creating fear and others is the only way that I have strength.
What do you want? Are you feeling trapped? Vulnerable? Terrified? Just like Kimberly and Cindy felt.
Are you afraid I am going to hurt you? The worst part is you don't know how.
And you don't know when.
Then again that's what stalking is all about, isn't it? Admit it, Biran.
They rejected you and that just tore you up inside.
I just wanted to be with them.
You want control.
And when you couldn't have your way with Kimberly, you stalked her.
And trapped her, and you tried to destroy her.
With acid.
Then you stalked Cindy in the very same way.
I just want Kimberly and Cindy to be mine.
Oh, well.
Now, you are mine.
Ah.
Will you relax, Brian? It's just CO2 and water.
What's the matter, Brian? Look like you're seeing the ghost.
I thought you, I thought you were No.
I am not.
I am not afraid any more either.
Relax.
Let your portfolio speak for yourself.
Don't worry.
Darrin's going to love you.
II've never thought this day would come for me.
No matter what happens, Ithank you, Jarod.
I count that.
What? Pretty, isn't it? Pretty? The music.
How is usual Jarod there is no music at the end of your games.
Oh, well.
I am very sorry that you didn't have a nice trip.
But you have everything you need to find what you're looking for.
Why did you give me this, Jarod? Oh Let just say: happy birthday, Miss Parker.
My birthday isn't until January third.
That's the point.
She would come up to the end of every April.
May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December I have been looking all over for that.
Daddy? How are you doing, Angel? You poach him from my office? You've been gone for over a month.
Where have you been? If I told you, I couldn't protect you.
Come along.
Mr.
Lyle and Mr.
Raines want to meet with us.
But Daddy.
.
Just listen to your father.
Follow my lead.
Of course.
