"Good morning. Don't say anything, just listen. We're the people that are causing the killing in your area. Look on the tarot card. It says, 'Call me God. Do not release to the press.' We have called you three times before, trying to set up negotiations. We have got no response. People have died... Get your people..." - What Lee Malvo said when he dialed 9-1-1 and talked to a Rockville, Maryland police dispatcher on October 15, 2002.
