The stories he had her recite?


why did he have her recite these little stories in a microphone?

Not 100% sure but I think the men in the peadophile ring would listen to them? Especially the guy with the beard who got caught and went to prison; there was something he said when the other guy came to visit him in prison (clearly I can't remember names!) about getting Rosario Dawson's character to tell her story (once she was kidnapped) or he wanted to hear her story.....something like that.

To paraphrase one of the cops, this is a new kind of pervert, who likes to watch people in anguish. There's no evidence of pedophilia anywhere in the movie, so for all we know as viewers is that the villain and possibly the entire ring weren't interested in sex but suffering.
