»
« Teddy Barnes: You'll stop at nothing, won't you? Anyone could've sent those notes; everyone knew – the police in Santa Cruz knew, people in your office knew!

« Thomas Krasny: *Bullshit!* Don't you understand what he did? He did the *identical crime* eighteen months before he murdered his wife! He knew it would get him off the hook! He knew Bobby Slade was seeing his wife! That's why he did the first crime in Santa Cruz! He threw us Bobby Slade as a suspect! He picked that woman very carefully! He knew she played tennis with Slade! He planned this for *eighteen months!* He is *not* a psychopath! He is a *iceman.* He is a *monster.*
