Dear Angel, I was thinkin' today of Momma. How she had the sofest, sweetest voice you ever heard... like a willow in a breeze. In church, when she sang, people standin' around her would hush just to get a better listen. I can't help thinkin' how sad all this would have made her. She never liked Bobby much... And, for whatever reason, I fell in love with him. he paid attention to me... made me feel pretty... I saw him sittin' on the hood of his Firebird late one summer night in high school. He was one of those types of people who acted fearless... like he had a secret. I never had secrets. Momma had a hard life. Guess I'm kinda glad you weren't around 2 see her hurt like she did. I'm not sayin' this like it's an excuse for anything that happened. Just that, well... I never wanted to be one of those people that gets to used to bein' sad. That must sound funny comin' from me. Love, Maddie
S1 E10The Wild and the Innocent
Dear Angel, I never told you about the night you left. I'd come out for groceries and when I came back home you were gone. I was terrified. I was lost. I couldn't get a straight answer out of anybody. I must have driven for hours looking for you... but there was no sign. I got tired and I kinda gave up. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I gave up on you that night. Please forgive me.
Dear Angel, It's Christmas Eve. I remember when I was ten years old and caught Momma putting presents under the tree. Broke my heart. Believing in Santa was the last bit of little kid mystery left in the world. I'm looking up at the dark winter sky right now wishing that weren't true. Wishing that old guy in the red suit would bring you home. I miss you so much. I gotta go. He hates it when I write to you, and I can hear him comin' up the stairs.
I've never been clear on why they call it "makin' love". Every time I let Bobby have me... it felt more like... like makin' peace. You know, killin' - killin' time. A few precious minutes to myself. I found out my real dad had hit my mom a couple of times. Then she took up with Jim and he just hit her more often. I can't stop blamin' myself for what happened to my mom. What she found out what Jim had done to me... she just... she couldn't live with it. I know I'm guilty for letting what happened happen but if I didn't stay in the car, I knew I'd never see Angel again.
S1 E11Weeds
The kidnapper sees himself as a holy figure, a purifier. He makes the impure ingest his blood so that they can be cleansed.
The victims were taken brazenly, in public spaces. The killer knows these neighborhoods, he feels safe here.
What does this guy want? If it's money, why doesn't he ask for it?
He sees his victim as ugly, decayed. The mutilation suggests that he wants us to see the boy the same way.
S1 E12Loin Like a Hunting Flame
To him, the victims are unreal, erotic figments to be manipulated. He kills them to prevent them from existing outside his fantasies.
S1 E13Force Majeure
On May 5th, 2000, seven inner planets align for the first time since the Great Flood. Uranus at the meridian of its epicenter. Earth the focus of the biggest gravitational tug-of-war in 6,000 years. Catastrophic Earth changes on alignment day, preceded by abnormal weather patterns now as stresses build. Example: hurricanes - Edouard; Andrew; Andhra Pradesh, Bay of Bengal. Example: The Sahara Desert advancing 70.7 meters per year. Example: Lima earthquake, 7.3; Loma Prieta, 7.1; Irian Jaya, 8.0. Example: ...
[He nods toward the spot where the girl died, site of the previous night's storm.]
There is someone out there who believes in May 5th. He's responsible for the death of two girls already. I need to know who else believes in earth changes.
Einstein did.
I mean today.
S1 E14The Thin White Line
I mark 'em, on the palm. That's my trademark. That makes them my property - my meat.
And the third?
The third one was a coward. I ate his fear up like it was a Thanksgiving meal. His sweat was the cranberry sauce. His breath was the stuffing. And those frozen eyes? They were the dark meat.
You marked him - but you didn't kill him.
[He bends back his hand to show Hance his scar.]
S1 E15Sacrament
I'm sorry, Frank.
You saved Helen's life, Bletch. It's your surveillance that forced him into hiding her in his house.
He used his son to procure his victims. He was the devil that Green couldn't escape.
I feel nothing. None of this is real. There is nothing inside.
Some truths are better left unknown.
S1 E16Covenant
Your Honor, I've spent my whole adult life trying to understand how the mind of a killer works. How he thinks, how he feels. William Gary is not capable of doing the things he has been convicted of.
