Citizen X Page #3

in Quantico, Virginia.

The largest store house of information

about serial murderers in the world.

And finally, we need to

publicise this case as widely as possible

First, to warn people of the danger.

Second, to get more of the unknown bodies

identified.

and Third, In the hope of bringing forth a witness ...

to one of the crimes.

No.

- No to what? No to everything?

Are you mad?

There's a maniac out there who will

kill every child in that god damn district!

Stop this insolence!

Is there something you want to say, Colonel.

- No, sir.

You handled that quite deftly.

- Bondarchuk is a stupid man.

He may be stupid but he is in charge.

How can it be, you don't seem to know

how things work in the Soviet system?

I know how things work, but right

now there are 16 dead children and I want

a little special treatment.

The strength of the bureaucracy is

measured by it's ability to resist

giving anyone special treatment.

I don't appreciate your sense of humor.

- One day you will.

The reason I said no to your demands ...

to ask for more men or

computers, for that matter,

is to admit to our

superiors in Moscow ...

that we're overwhelmed.

Which they'll never do

To ask the FBI for help ...

is to admit to the

West that we are behind them in both

forensic technique and

in manageing information.

Which they would never do.

And to publicise the case is to admit

that such crimes exist ...

in the Soviet Union. Which is one

thing they would rather die than do,

To Publicly admit that anything is wrong.

the only way I have been able to get

anything done is behind closed doors.

By offering favors, by bribeing,

by weedling ... But that will take time.

It always does.

Only in this case people will die.

People will die and that'll take all our

strength to suffer these outrageousness,

But suffer them we must.

Because we are the people who have to

catch this monster, Comrade Burakov.

You and I.

And you may have noticed, no one

else is even willing to try.

Good day.

You care about nothing more than

making your superiors happy.

You're right, I should spend more time ...

trying to alienate them. Perhaps you could teach me.

You say that You and I have

catch this monster ...

what you mean it's upto me isn't it?

Thats why I begin as the perfect choice ...

if I fail I'll be dangling out there by myself.

Happy Birthday, Nadia!

Are you trying to sabotage

what we are doing here now?

Doesn't you understand that you're

supposed to be under cover.

You're supposed to let the killer

feel comfortable and let him try

to pick somebody up.

Did you think that wearing your

uniform would help?

It was freezing when we came this morning
