Elan Valley Police.

-He can see me.

-I'm sorry.

It's Jill, the girl who called before

about the man who can--

-Tell me what's going on.

-He called me again.

-What did he say?

-He's out there. He's outside. He's--

He's watching me

through the windows.

-Did you see him?

-No, but I know he can see me.

-He knew when I went upstairs.

-Okay. Take a deep breath.

-Where's the housekeeper?

-l-- I don't know.

I-- l-- I saw her purse and the keys...

-...but l-- I can't find her.

-Is the house locked up?

-Yes.

-Alarm system?

-It's on.

-Okay.

You're safe inside that house.

If he wanted to break in...

-...he wouldn't be calling you.

-But he must want something.

Listen to me.

Miss, he's just some a**hole

trying to hassle you.

-There's something we can do.

-What?

I can alert the phone company,

so when he calls...

... we can try and trace the call.

I can also get my commander

to authorize a GPS trace...

...if he's calling from a cell phone.

Now, I got your number here.

Can you verify the address?

I don't....

I don't know.

My dad brought me here. I....

It's-- Wait.

Here. 3378 Old Mill Road.

I know where that is.

Now, if he calls again...

...try to keep him on the line

for 60 seconds...

-...so we can trace the call.

-I can't.

He doesn't stay on the phone

for more than a few seconds.

I'll see if I can get a car out to you.

But if I do, it's gonna take at least

Think you'll be okay until then?

-Yes.

-Good.

Now, I'll be watching the phone line.

Call me if you need to.

Okay. Thank you.

Hello.

It's you, isn't it?

No, no, no. Wait, wait.

Wait, don't hang up.

If you keep on calling,

must mean you wanna talk, right?

Is it me you're calling for?

Are you calling

for the Mandrakises?

Damn it.

Guesthouse.

Hey, it's Todd. I'm not here.

I'm up at school.

And if you don't have the number,

then there's probably a reason.

Hi, it's Jill, the babysitter.

If you or Rosa are in there,

could you please pick up...

...or come up to the house?

Someone's been calling,

and I called the police.

I was wondering if you could come up

and wait here with me until they come.

Todd?

Hello?

Todd.

Hey, it's Todd. I'm not here.

I'm up at school.

And if you don't have the number,

then there's probably a reason.

It's you, isn't it?

How did you get this number?

How do you know I'm in here?

Did you see me out there?

Why are you doing this to me?

Sixty seconds. Got you.

You called the wrong phone line.

Rosa.

Rosa?

It's Jill.

Hello.

I know it's you.

I'm not gonna be here much longer.

Dr. Mandrakis and his wife

are coming home soon.

Why won't you answer me?

I know you're there.

I can-- I can hear you breathing.
