Confrontation of Guilt and Responsibility
Dr. Phibes
I will have killed nine times in my life, Dr. Vesalius; how many murders can be attributed to you?
Dr. Vesalius
None, for I did not kill your wife!
Dr. Phibes
No?
Dr. Vesalius
I tried to save her...
Dr. Phibes
With a knife in your hands? Doctor, I have no faith in your profession! I was told, after my crash that I would never speak again. The doctors were, of course, wrong, for as you see and can hear, I have used my knowledge of music and acoustics to re-create my voice!
Dr. Vesalius
You don't need to remind me of your ingenuity, Dr. Phibes... WHERE IS MY SON?

We shall be reunited forever in a secluded corner of the great elysian field of the beautiful beyond!

Uh, the-these ], would they follow any particular order?
[[w:Plagues of Egypt|ten curses]

Inspector Trout
Darkness, Rabbi?
Rabbi
Yes. The final curse upon the land, to end forever the sleep of man.

The Challenge of Stopping a Methodical Killer
Dr. Vesalius
Human error won't stop him.
Inspector Trout
Why? Wha'chu mean?
Dr. Vesalius
He's had years to hide, to plot this damnable thing. He's compelling himself to follow exactly the classic death pattern of the G'tach. It's the psychic force that holds that man together, this maniacal precision. If we could just throw it off, interrupt the cycle, then he might be stopped by his own inflexible standards.
