Alex Cross: There are about a dozen predators operating in California now. There's one; male Caucasian, probably early thirties. He's known as the Gentleman Caller. They've been onto him for over a year. And what I realized last night was that his abductions, they follow the ones here by about ten days to two weeks. Matter of fact, it was exactly ten days after Naomi disappeared that a pretty black coed disappeared from UCLA.
Kate McTiernan: So he's doing it there, too.
Alex Cross: Compulsively. And if he follows true to form, he's due to hit California pretty quick.
Kate McTiernan: Can the FBI pick him up?
Alex Cross: If I give Rudolph to the FBI and they make one mistake, what happens to all these girls? I can't risk Naomi starving to death in a cell somewhere. No FBI.

John Sampson: Well, this is a surprise.
Alex Cross: Time was surprises made you giddy, John. What's the matter?
John Sampson: Look, we're out on a limb here. Now, I've pulled every string. I've called in ten years of favors to get those cars and equipment. This thing has got to go as smooth as silk or we are both fucked.
