Plot: British Consulate investigator Det. Stephen Wilson, a.k.a. the Eye, comes across a disturbed lady serial-killer while on an otherwise mundane assignment. Already a bit psychologically fragile from his wife's abrupt removal of herself and their daughter from his life (with the lingering memory of his daughter haunting him like a manifest ghost), his psychosis as a displaced dad dovetails with the femme fatale's psychosis as an abandoned daughter (crying "Merry Christmas, Daddy" over her expired victims). A bond forms, or, rather, an obsession, as the Eye abandons his job to secretively stalk this mysterious woman full-time as she visits many major U.S. cities under various names, leaving numerous victims.

Quotes:

Lain Iwakura: No matter where you go, everyone's connected.

Chisa Yomoda: There was no reason for me to stay in the real world any longer. In the real world, it didn't matter if I was there or not. When I realized that, I was no longer afraid of losing my body.

Lain Iwakura: Why? Why did you die?::Navi [Dictating Chisa's response]: God is here.

Iwakura, Yasuo: Let me give you one little warning.::Lain Iwakura: Huh?::Iwakura, Yasuo: When it's all said and done, the Wired is just a medium of communication and the transfer of information. You mustn't confuse it with the real world. Do you understand what I'm warning you about?::Lain Iwakura: You're wrong.::Iwakura, Yasuo: Huh?::Lain Iwakura: The border between the two isn't all that clear. I'll be able to enter it soon.

I've modified mine.::Iwakura, Yasuo: A Psyche processor, huh? But...::Lain Iwakura: Don't worry. I'm still me.::Iwakura, Yasuo: Sometimes I wonder.

Lain Iwakura: [gasp]::Miho Iwakura: The wired might actually be thought of as a highly advanced upper layer of the real world. In other words, physical reality is nothing but an illusion, a hologram of the information that flows to us through the wired.::Lain Iwakura: But ma...::Miho Iwakura: This is because the body, physical motion, the activity of the human brain is merely a physical phenomenon, simply caused by synapses delivering electrical impulses.::Lain Iwakura: But mom, I...::Miho Iwakura: The physical body exists at a less evolved plane only to verify one's existence in the universe.::Lain Iwakura: Are you really, truly my mother?::Miho Iwakura: [disappears]::Lain Iwakura: Are you?

Lain Iwakura: People only have substance within the memories of other people. And that's why there were all kinds of mes. There weren't a lot of mes per se, I was just inside all sorts of people, that's all.
