Divining Rod (2012)

Lisa Darr: Helen Garrett

Quotes 

• Helen Garrett : Well... I forgot I even had this.

  Emily Prentiss : What is it?

  Helen Garrett : Divining rod. It belonged to my great uncle up in Bartlesville. He could find well water with it. And people say that's hocus pocus, but it isn't. My daddy said that I had one of these in me, that I could find the bad in any man, see beneath the surface and find the evil. Maybe Daddy was right, the way Rod turned out.

• [last lines] 

  Dylan Kohler : You're here.

  Helen Garrett : Well, of course I am. My place is here now, with you.

  Dylan Kohler : But, I thought...

  Helen Garrett : We don't ask for the gifts that we're given, Dylan. They're just part of us. This is a duty. And if I ever doubted before, I don't now. This is my calling. Ever read The Thousand and One Nights?

  Dylan Kohler : No, what is it?

  Helen Garrett : Oh, it's a wonderful book. I think you'll like it. "She comes like fullest moon on happy night. Taper of waist shaped like magic might. Her eye hath glances to quell mankind. And ruby of her cheeks reflect this light. Enveils her hips, the blackness of her hair. Beware of curls that bite with viper bite."

• Emily Prentiss : He started killing shortly after you were married?

  Helen Garrett : Yeah.

  David Rossi : And you never suspected this other life he was leading?

  Helen Garrett : No. People only see what they want to see, I guess.

  Emily Prentiss : Where will you go now, Helen?

  Helen Garrett : Put in for a transfer for a job in Missouri. Don't know anybody there; people don't know me. It's a fresh start.

  David Rossi : What about family?

  Helen Garrett : My family don't want to know me. They couldn't understand why I'd stand by Rod after everything that he done. As far as they're concerned, I'm just as bad as him.
