Well, I just wanted you to know

I am proud of you, Ash.

You've been working really hard,

and we're gonna get there.

Thank you, Aunt Kim. That means a lot.

I've got someone here

who wants to talk to her mommy.

Here you go.

Mommy?

Hey, baby girl!

If it's okay, Mommy,

Aunt Kim said we can come

to your new house.

Uh, yeah.

Yeah, baby, that sounds great.

Yay, we're going to go

to Mommy's house tomorrow.

Mommy said it was okay.

Yay.

That's such good news!

Hey, listen, I got a lot to get through

if you're gonna come by,

so I'll see you soon.

I'll say my prayers for you.

I love you.

I love you, too. Bye-bye, sweetheart.

AUNT KIM:
We'll see you

in the morning, honey.

Yep. 9:
30.

Bye.

Any word on the Mercury?

Nothing yet, sir.

Brian Nichols' mother. Line six.

Hello, Ms. Nichols,

thank you for returning my call.

I called two days ago, warning

the Sheriff's Department about him.

Anyone tell us about this?

I told them what Brian's friends said.

If things didn't go his way, how he might

act out in court and hurt someone.

Why didn't anyone listen?

Has he tried to contact you, Ms. Nichols?

He knows better than

to call me after this.

Is there anything you could tell me

that will help us find him?

No, sir.

That girl he violated,

he was with her for seven years.

She was like a daughter to me.

I don't want anyone else getting hurt.

I'll be praying for you.

Thank you for calling, Ms. Nichols.

(MUFFLED SCREAMS)

(SCREAMS) Help me!

You scream again,

and I will have to kill you.

Please.

- Who else lives here?

- No one.

Get up.

(ASHLEY SOBBING)

Where's the child?

Lives somewhere else.

What's in there?

Open it. Open it.

You said the child doesn't live here!

It's my surprise for her.

She's coming tomorrow.

(GROANS)

- Get in the tub.

- God, please, no, please.

Get in.

Look at me.

I said, look at me.

You been watching TV today?

- I have a daughter...

- Put your hands out.

She's five years old. If you hurt me...

Put your hands out. Cross your wrists.

Sit down. Sit down!

My name is Ashley Smith. I'm a mother.

Your phone. Where is it?

The landline's not hooked up yet.

I don't trust you.

Do not move.

If you do, I will hurt you.

(SIGHS)

Your daughter did this?

Kim Rogers.

Who's she?

My aunt.

This where the kid stays?

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

I can't give you any information.

It's as simple as that.

We're not comfortable with

any of this either, Doctor.

Now, I understand

and appreciate your position,

but if we knew Brian's psychology better,

it would help us immeasurably.

Three people are dead, Dr. Pratt.

Mr. Nichols has episodes of paranoia,
