Kiss the Girls1997

Det. Davey Skes:
Sure picks lookers, doesn't he?

Alex Cross:
Yeah, he does. But you know these women are more than just attractive. They're all extraodinary in some way. Smart, talented.

Det. Davey Skes:
He ain't choosing them just for their congeniality.

Alex Cross:
Ordinarily, they don't, but I think our guy is a little different.

Detective Nick Ruskin:
How so?

Alex Cross:
I think killing's not his ulterior motive. This guy's a collector. I bet these women are alive.

Det. Davey Skes:
Come on, doc. Our boy's brain is soft as a two-minute egg and nothing personal, but I figure every one of them gals is tied to a tree just waiting to get found.

Alex Cross:
Think about it, Sikes. The three you found were killed out of sequence. They weren't even among the first abducted.

Det. Davey Skes:
That's right.

Detective Nick Ruskin:
That don't mean they're not still out there.

Alex Cross:
But you would have found them by now. He makes absolutely no attempt to hide 'em and the way they were killed, very revealing. That last long walk through the woods.

Kyle Craig:
Marching to their fate.

Alex Cross:
Exactly. The rape, cutting off their hair.

Kyle Craig:
It's punishment.

Alex Cross:
Maybe for violating some trust.
