Malcolm: There's a fourth victim out there, and I can save her. I'll do whatever it takes.

Whitly: Sure, yeah. That's an outrage too. There can be multiple outrages.
Malcolm: You're afraid, not of the killer, not of the police; you're afraid of me.
Whitly: You?
Malcolm: It's obvious. Your breathing. How you hold your hands. How you're looking at the door. You're afraid I'm going to leave and this is it, and I'll never come back. I'll give you this. Help me, and I'll come back.
That's the thing, Carter. I do. I do deserve the Surgeon's pain because I'm his son. My real name is Malcolm Whitly. I changed it because I wanted to get away from him. See, I thought that I was afraid of my father and everything he taught me. But really I was afraid of me, so I betrayed him. I became a profiler and hunted down people like him. So now is your chance, Carter. Now is your chance to kill me. His prodigal son. I'm willing to let go.
