Quotes[]
- Carl Kolchak: I drive the night, looking into the darkness where our fears reside. Of things the mind dismisses, but the heart knows are real. Evils that lie hidden in the blackness. I have seen these evils. They have taken my wife, pregnant with a child never to be born, leaving me haunted by questions about her strange death and the deaths of so many others no one else dares to explain. So I drive, knowing we fear the night not because it hides these evils, but rather because it reveals them.
....
- Perri Reed: Do you ever use the front door?
- Carl Kolchak: Not if I can help it.
....
- Perri Reed: Okay, so I'm just thinking here, but your idea is, is, what exactly, Kolchak? That someone grabbed these people's necks with this jelly on their hands.
- Carl Kolchak: Possibly.
- Perri Reed: And this idea doesn't seem, oh, insane?
- Carl Kolchak: More so insane then that those people died from bug spray?
....
- Carl Kolchak: The man in this photo was convicted of second-degree murder and armed robbery.
- Perri Reed: We already know his name.
- Carl Kolchak: Tony Vincenzo.
....
- Jain McManus: "In battling evil, excess is good." It's Kahlil Gibran.
- Carl Kolchak: Sounds more like Donald Rumsfeld.
....
- Carl Kolchak: The police won't just let us into their crime scene.
- Perri Reed: So you're sneaking in?
- Carl Kolchak: I'm not sneaking--I'm snooping.
....
- Carl Kolchak: There are evils that live amongst us, hidden behind walls, lurking in dark shadows. Open your eyes and you'll see them, but be careful you don't open them too wide. For once you've seen the darkness, the fear of it remains a part of you.
