Notes
Goofs:
Errors in geography: Naomi's boyfriend mentions that the river in Durham offers good trout fishing. The Eno River (which runs through northern Durham) offers no trout as do no other piedmont NC rivers. To find trout you'd have to go to the NC mountains. I found this to be a particularly bothersome error considering that when he said it, one could still suspect that he might have something to do with the girls' abduction, and that his error might be a clue that Alex Cross would later use.

Quotes:
Dr. Kate McTiernan: [Kate wakes up slowly, whines in pain]
Casanova: I got all the glass out. Everything you need to change the dressing is right next to you. Can you hear me?
Dr. Kate McTiernan: Systemic analgesic, what did you give ne?
Casanova: That's one of the reasons I picked you Kate. Your intellegence. I appreciate that. I know most men don't, can't. I'm different. You'll see that in time.
[sighs, walks towards her]
Casanova: Now try not to go back to sleep. I have to tell you the rules.
Dr. Kate McTiernan: [shudders, cries out] Why am I here?
Casanova: You're here to fall in love, to experience love. But now I need you to listen very carefully, and take what I say very seriously, alright? Don't try to escape. Don't cry out for help. And do not try any of your kickboxing
[Kate begins to cry, Casanoza reaches for a syringe]
Casanova: Now I'll do what I can to help you not break these rules, but if you do Kate, you will really disappoint me.
