Chapter 43

Toms Office

Jane: Did you have to tell Korsak?

She looks over and sees two people walk in with Agent Ash.

Jane: He did not bring them here.

Jill: Who?

Jane: Elaine lewis' parents.

She walks into the room.

Agent Ash: Mr. and Mrs.Lewis, part of the reason I asked you to come in is because we have some new information. Two days before Elaine was found dead in Boston, she was seen in a hotel off of highway 215. She was wi-

Woman: My god.

Ash: Is there anything about this person that you recognize? Just take your time.

Woman: (Voice breaking) I can't.

Man: You wouldn't think it was possible, But it's worse to see her alive with him.

Woman: I'm sorry. (Crying) I have to go. We're in town a few more days.

They walk out.

Jane: Bringing in the grieving parents, Breaking out new evidence-- Do you actually think I'm that easily manipulated?

Ash: I was hoping you were that easily manipulated. (To Claire) You're-- You're gonna want to go.

Ash: Because the other option is that you don't care, That you never cared, That your ex upstairs was right-- You couldn't handle the mess you made of your relationship, So you used a serial killer. You used the pain of those three women and their families As an excuse to check out. And this martyr act of yours that you've perfected Is nothing more than a pathetic facade.

Jane: Come with me.

She takes him to their house.

At Janes House

Ash: Where we going?

Jane: Shut up.

She lowers the ladder and they climb into the attic. Ash looks around. It's full of pictures of the women and crime scenes.

Jane: If I let him-This bastard's gonna destroy me. And that would be okay.
You know, that-- That would be worth it-If I could stop him. But I can't. I tried for years. I tried. I gave everything. I gave up everything. And I-I failed. Elaine Lewis is dead because I failed.
So I need you-To just let me off the hook here, okay? I need you to let me let all of this go.

Agent Ash: No.
