I Own The Keys to The Tooth-Fairy's Mind

 


Jack Crawford :
So, what are we doing?

Will Graham :
The Dream.

He dreams about being 
Wanted and Desired
so he Changes People into beings
who want and desire him.

Jack Crawford :
Changes?

Will Graham :
It's a Word.
Killing and arranging 
the people to imitate it.
And Lecktor told me something.
If one does What God Does enough times,
one will become As God Is.

You put it together, you get,
if Our Boy imitates being 
Wanted and Desired enough times,
he believes he will become one
who IS Wanted, and Desired,
and Accepted.

It'll all come True.

But he doesn't take anything.
There's no souvenirs taken from the houses.
He needs souvenirs or trophies
to re-live the event.

Maybe he records it somehow...
So he could See Himself accepted
over, and over, and over again.


Jack Crawford :
VTRs, Polaroids, stills, what?

Will Graham :
How do I know?


Jack Crawford :
How does he find 'em?

Will Graham :
When we find out how he found them,
We'll find him.


Jack Crawford :
There is no connection between the two families.
We've done a dozen computer runs.

Will Graham :
Jack, all the women have a bloom on them.
He didn't win them in a lottery,
he picked these women.
There's Selection and Design in his choices.


Jack Crawford :
Look, admit we struck out this month.
The Lear Jet is standing by,
the basic lab stuff is on it.

You, Zeller, Jimmy Price, the photographer,
anywhere he hits, we can be there
in an hour and 15 minutes.
We get the call, we roll.

The scene will be fresh,
fresher than we've ever had it.

Will Graham :
It's not over yet.


Jack Crawford :
Oh, for Christ's sake!
It's a foregone conclusion.
It's 11:30 p.m., The Full Moon
is happening tonight.

Give it up! Forget this month,
it's too damn late!

Will Graham :
I gave it up -- Till you showed up with pictures
of two dead families, knowing goddamn well
that I'd imagine families three, 
four, five, and six, right?


Jack Crawford :
You're fucking right I did,
and I'd do it again!

Will Graham :
Great! But don't talk to me about 'late', pal.
I'll tell YOU when it's too fucking late!
Until then, we go as late as I want to take it!


A padlock -- That's why the bolt cutter.


Jack Crawford :
What's that?

He used a bolt cutter to trim away the branch
when he was watching from the woods.
Why didn't he use the bolt cutter
on the garage door?

Because a deadbolt was there
when they were killed.

Donald Jacobi's 12th birthday party was April 14.
Sometime between April 14 and August 1,
they changed the lock.

But he thought there was a padlock there.

From the street, you can't see the glass
in the Leeds' kitchen door.
There's a big, high fence there.
But he was ready with his glass cutter.

So either he was casing far ahead
and we didn't check back far enough,
or...


Jack Crawford :
We checked.

Will Graham :
Don't Talk.

Metcalfe, it's Graham.
Is the Leeds and Jacobi stuff
still in the storeroom?

Have the guard down there call me. Do it.
You know that's the Jacobis' cat.
You brought a bolt cutter 'cause
you thought there was a padlock.

The Leeds' dog doesn't have a collar,
but you KNOW it's the Leeds' dog,
don't you, My Man?

See The Woman?
The bloom on the woman?
You can see her again and again
anytime you want.

Doggie doesn't have a collar,
but you know it's the Leeds' dog.
And the Jacobi cat.
And the padlock on the door.
And you know you need a bolt cutter
and every other goddamn thing
because everything with you
is SEEING, isn't it?

Your Primary Sensory Intake
that makes Your Dream live
is SEEING.

Reflections, mirrors, images...
You've seen these films.
Haven't you, My Man?


Jack Crawford :
It's the guard in the storeroom.

The cans.


Jack Crawford :
What cans?

The tapes were transferred
from home movies --
Where's the packaging
the films came in?


Jack Crawford :
There's films of the families in the document storage. Find them.
You got 'em?
Are there any labels?

Leeds can, Gateway Lab, 
St. Louis, Missouri.

Will Graham :
The Jacobi label will say
the same thing as the Leeds label :
Gateway Lab, St. Louis, Missouri.


Jack Crawford :
Who processed the Jacobi film?
No. Bob's Photo Store, Birmingham.

Stores send them out -- 
Have him peel the top label back.
Is there a label underneath?
It does, doesn't it?
