[Jenny talks to her friend Sarah at the park about Carter]
Sarah : Now, I hate to bring this up, but you are married to the perfect man.
Jenny : The perfect man? Yesterday, out of the blue, he started to make love to me... and then stopped when Amy started to cry.
Sarah : Well, just because he was worried about Amy...
Jenny : He wasn't worried about Amy, because he didn't even go to her room. He went downstairs, got into his car and drove off.
Sarah : Well, that doesn't make any sense.
Jenny : Carter isn't making any sense. And he's becoming awfully compulsive with Amy. He doesn't just take care of her, he studies her. I have this horrible feeling it has something to do with his father.

[Jenny returns home and fights Carter for trying to kill her, who doesn't remember a thing]
Jenny : [Jenny holds a knife to Carter's throat] Wake up! Don't move or I'll cut it.
Carter : Jenny, what are you doing? I'm bleeding. Oh my god, I'm bleeding!
Jenny : [Jenny sarcastically replies with a smile, being a doctor] And I can help you.
Carter : Don't let me die, Jenny!
Jenny : [Jenny screams back] I want to know what you've done with Amy!
Carter : Amy? What are you saying?
Jenny : [Jenny pulls on Carter's shirt] I want answers, Carter!
Carter : Jenny!
Jenny : How could you let me drown like that?
Carter : Drown? What's happening?

[Cain talks to Carter as Jenny holds Carter down with a knife]
Cain : [Cain stands over Jenny's shoulder] She wants to know where her brat is. So why don't you tell her before you get your throat cut.
Carter : [Carter replies back looking to Cain] But I don't know where she is.
Cain : [Cain imitates Carter] 'I don't know where she is.'
Carter : I don't!
Jenny : [Jenny looks over her shoulder] Who are you talking to?
Cain : I do. I took her to dear ol' dad.
Carter : Where is she?
Jenny : [Jenny looks behind herself again seeing that nobody's there] Who are you talking to?

[the detectives hope that Carter isn't too nuts to stand trial]
Lt. Terri : Well, let's hope he's not too nuts.
Jenny : What do you mean?
Lt. Terri : Too nuts to go to jail.
Jack : You mean, he might not go to jail?
Lt. Terri : First, we gotta find out if he's competent to stand trial. Even if he is, any smart lawyer'll plead him not guilty by reason of insanity. And, depending on what Waldheim finds out, Carter could wind up a celebrity mental case in some cushy institution.

[Dr. Waldheim returns to Lt. Terri's office, confirming Carter is Cain]
Lt. Terri : Carter is Cain?
Dr. Waldheim : And Josh and Margo and God knows who else. Now it is clear to me... how Dr. Nix got all his precise data. He traumatized his own son. Then over the years, he observed the effects.
Jenny : Does Carter know what he did?
Dr. Waldheim : Carter didn't do anything. Cain did all the killing.
Jack : Who is Cain?
Dr. Waldheim : One of Carter's multiples. One of the ones Dr. Nix created when he abused him as a child. When something bad is about to happen to Carter, or when something bad has to be done, Carter blacks out and Cain takes over. After the unpleasantness, Cain exits and Carter wakes up. He has lost some time. He doesn't remember how he got where he is... or what happened while he was asleep. He may be confused, but his conscience is clean.

Amy : [Jenny tracks down Amy who ran into the woods at the park] Where's Daddy?
Jenny : Daddy's not here, sweetie. He's gone away.
Amy : Daddy's here!
Jenny : No he's not. Come on, honey, we've got to head back. Come to mommy.
[Jenny leans down to pick up Amy, revealing Margo standing behind her in a brown wig, red jacket, with a big smile]
