Faces In The Crowd Page #3

Synopsis: The elementary school teacher Anna Marchant lives with her boyfriend Bryce in a nice apartment and every now and then she meets her best friends Francine and Nina to drink and talk. When Anna is crossing a bridge to meet Bryce, she sees an infamous serial-killer killing a woman. Anna runs but she is attacked by the killer and she falls off the bridge and hits her head. Anna stays in coma for a week and when she awakes, she learns that she has brain damage followed by Prosopagnosia, a disorder of face perception where the ability to recognize faces is impaired, while the ability to recognize other objects may be relatively intact. The police detective Sam Kerrest unsuccessfully tries to force Anna to remember the face of the serial-killer. Now the serial-killer knows that Anna has seen his face, but she is incapable of even recognizing Bryce and her close friends.

So you really think

that it's him?

He killed, raped,

and wept over the corpse.

You must know how he works.

He's been front page

news for six months now.

They even have

a snappy name for him.

Tearjerk Jack.

So, are you

gonna protect her?

This, my friend...

is what we have

to wade through just

to request police protection.

Twenty of these get

dumped on the Chief's

desk e very morning.

Cops parked outside

your house 24/7

scarfing doughnuts.

Strictly 911 territory.

He's got my papers.

He's got my address.

And he's not stupid enough

to go after the one person

who can recognize him, right?

Look...

[clears throat]

I'm sorry you had

to meet this year's

whackjob.

You wanna feel safe?

Help me catch

the son of a b*tch.

What do you got

for me here?

Thirty-five, forty,

tall, dark?

I'm not letting you

out of here until you

give me more than this.

Did you

or did you not

see his face?

Did you

or did you not

see his face?

Yes, I did.

Good. We're

getting somewhere.

Here. Look these

over carefully.

Take your time.

This is bullshit!

Miss Marchant, you haven't

even looked at half of these.

I can't remember

his face, okay?

Since the accident

Anna, justsh.

She just got out

of the hospital.

She needs rest.

Rest? You go tell that to

the six women whose throat

he cut from ear to ear!

I apologize if I'm

rattling your cage...

but I'd rather the next

time we meet you weren't

lying on a slab.

I can't recognize

faces anymore.

Do you understand?

Since the accident I

That-that man could be

right in front of me

and I wouldn't know it.

Please, don't

waste your time

trying to scare me...

because I am.

I already am.

Call the hospital.

They'll explain.

(man)

Hey, Nicky.

Lanyon, I've been

trying to reach you

for the last two hours.

Man, it's Wednesday.

Nicholas. No cell.

Guess who

just woke up

and walked in?

Anna Marchant.

Dammit, not a

diet Pepsi.

So, what's the story?

You got any leads?

Can we talk?

So, this

face blindness...

is it temporary

or permanent?

They have no

freaking idea.

[chuckles]

You think

it's funny?

Well, she's the only one

who's seen him, and she

can't recognize anybody?

You gotta admit

it's pretty far out.

How's the kid doing?

He still hasn't

uttered a word.

We have no lead, no ID.

Jorgensen in forensics...

even pushed a trace

on the tear sample...

through the Feds'

DNA database. Nada.

The guy is

a freaking ghost.

You're the mind reader

with the fancy diploma.

You know what I think?

The guy has to kill women

to be able to touch them.

Well, that's sad.

The melancholy

killer theory?

I mean, come on.

You gotta give me

more than that.
