I Own The Keys to Lektor’s Mind

 


That's The Same Atrocious Aftershave 
You Wore in Court --

Ma'am, are you all right?

Molly Graham, 
Wife of Will :
What? What is it?
What is it? What's going on?

Ma'am, I think
you should come back inside.

Molly Graham, 
Wife of Will :
What's going on?


Come back inside. Please.
I think you should come back inside.


Will Graham :
I'm sorry, Molly.
I'm sorry about all of this.
This place is fine.
We'll be fine.

Molly Graham, 
Wife of Will :
He's after you now, isn't he?

Will Graham :
It's just a precaution.
Kevin, why don't you run down
to the water, check out the dock?

Kevin, Son of Will Graham :
I want to hang around here.
I'm in the kitchen, Mom.

Molly Graham, 
Wife of Will :
Okay.

Will Graham :
What is that about?
What, he's afraid to leave 
you alone with me now?

He saw the article
in the Tattler, right?

Molly Graham, 
Wife of Will :
I wanted to talk with him about it,
but he said he wanted
to bring it up to you, face to face.

Will Graham :
Good for him.

Kevin, come on,
help me unpack, will ya?
Then we'll go get some groceries.

Will Graham :
You and Mom are very 
well-protected, you know.
No one's gonna find out where you are.

Kevin, Son of Will Graham :
Is there anything I need to know 
to see about Mom?

Will Graham :
No.

Kevin, Son of Will Graham :
This Guy is trying to Kill Us?

Will Graham :
We don't know that.

Kevin, Son of Will Graham :
When are you going to Kill Him?

Will Graham :
I'm not. It's only My Job to find him.

Kevin, Son of Will Graham :
Barry's mom had this newspaper.
It said you were in a special hospital.

Will Graham :
Well, it was a regular hospital,
then I was transferred into the psychiatric wing.
That bothers you, doesn't it?

Kevin, Son of Will Graham :
I don't know --
Was it because in the papers it said 
it was this man Lecktor?

Will Graham :
Mm-hm.

Kevin, Son of Will Graham :
What Happened?

Will Graham :
Well, Lecktor was attacking college girls,
then he killed them.

Kevin, Son of Will Graham :
How?

Will Graham :
In bad ways.

He was a Psychiatrist.
One of the girls was His Patient,
and I went to talk to him about her.

I tried to build Feelings in My Imagination 
like The Killer had so that I would know
WHY He Did What He Did,
because that would 
Help Me find him.

When I was sitting in Lecktor's Office 
and I looked up, I saw a book on his shelf.

It had pictures of war wounds in it.
And I knew it was him.

So I went to a pay phone down the hall 
to call The Police, 
and that's when he 
attacked me.

You and Mom, came to 
see me in the hospital,
and that helped a lot.

But after My Body got okay,
I still had His Thoughts 
going around in My Head.
And I stopped Talking to People.

And a Doctor-Friend of mine, 
a Dr. Bloom, asked me 
to get some help.
And I did.

Then after a while, I felt better,
and I was okay again.

Kevin, Son of Will Graham :
And The Way He Thought 
felt that bad?

Will Graham :
Kevin, they're The Ugliest 
Thoughts in The World.

Kevin, Son of Will Graham :
...so, what kind of coffee 
do you like?

Will Graham :
Huh?

Kevin, Son of Will Graham :
You like that Folgers stuff, right?

Will Graham :
Yeah.

Kevin, Son of Will Graham :
Mom likes that, too.....
When can we go home, Dad?

Will Graham :
I don't know, Kevin.

Molly Graham, 
Wife of Will :
So, where are things?

Will Graham :
Nowhere.

Everything we've tried is either
a dead end or it's backfired.
Crawford's already planning
the next crime scene
so that we get it fresh.
We've got about six more days
till the next full moon.

Molly Graham, 
Wife of Will :
Can you quit?

Will Graham :
No.

Molly Graham, 
Wife of Will :
What's next?

Will Graham :
I go to Atlanta.

Molly Graham, 
Wife of Will :
Crawford?

Will Graham :
No. I have to be alone.

Molly Graham, 
Wife of Will :
You're talking about doing exactly 
what you said you...

Will Graham :
This Killing, it's gotta stop.

Molly Graham, 
Wife of Will :
William, you're gonna make yourself sick
or get yourself killed.

Will Graham :
You and Kevin should go to Montana.
Go see your dad.
He hasn't seen Kevin for a long time.
And I'll come up and get you afterwards.
