美剧【疑犯追踪】精读003 Ghosts 这次要找的number是一个鬼魂？
Season 1 Episode2 Ghost
Scene 1- Looking for a ghost?
FINCH: The number we've received is for a girl named Theresa Whitaker. 15 years old. Some disciplinary trouble, but basically a good kid.
REESE: Well, the machine did spit out her number, so she must be caught up in something. Where can I find her?
FINCH: As I told you, Mr. Reese, this situation is somewhat unique. You see, Theresa Whitaker should be right here. She was murdered, along with the rest of her family. Two years ago.
REESE: So we're looking for a ghost?

Scene 2: Theresa was last seen at a marina
FINCH: This is the last place Theresa Whitaker was seen alive. Two years ago, her father Grant takes the family for a weekend sail. No one comes home.
REESE: Grant. He was a real estate developer.
FINCH: Market crashed. He was upside down on 14 properties. According to the police, he shot his wife and kids, then turned the gun on himself.
REESE: Says here they found the bodies.
FINCH: Just the parents and the 18-year-old son. Theresa's body was never recovered.
REESE: Uh, "presumed dead"? That's a reasonable assumption.
FINCH: The police only see what they choose to look for. The machine sees almost everything.
If the girl's number has come up, she must be alive.
REESE: Then why hasn't she shown up by now? With the police or a relative?
FINCH: I don't know. But if the machine is right and she's still alive, she won't be for long. Better find her.
