Hunt for the Labyrinth Killer (2013) - full transcript

Young, ace assistant DA, Shelby Cook, works with driven cop, Mike Holland, to catch Daedalus, a serial killer infamous for luring his victims to their deaths through labyrinth traps. Three innocent men have already taken the fall for Daedalus and when Daedalus strikes again, Shelby finds herself defending the latest man accused, a retired and respected judge--who also happens to be her own father.

[Suspenseful music]

[small dog barking]

[woman] Artie!

[Barking continues]

Artie, are you

kidding me? Now listen.

I'm serious.

There is no way in hell

I'm going back

to do a romantic comedy.

I don't care!

Just find me

something... meaningful,

something... oh, sh‐‐

Esmeralda?

I gotta go.

Bitsy's running around outside.

Of course, I don't know

where the maid is.

I gotta go get him

before the coyotes do.

So, listen, I love you.

Find me something good...

Else you're fired.

Ha‐ha‐ha.

Okay. Thanks, bye.

Bitsy?

Bitsy?

Bitsy!

Bitsy?

[Crows]

Bitsy!

Bitsy!

What are you doing here,

you naughty, naughty doggie!

You cannot do that.

You scare Mama

like that.

Okay, you can't

run off like that.

That is

a very naughty girl.

You'll be eaten

by very big, bad coyotes.

Time for us to take

a little shower, lady!

[Water running]

[whines]

[teapot whistling]

Esmeralda?

Esmeralda!

Esmeralda?

Ow! Ah! Gosh!

Esmeralda!

[Sighs]

[phone ringing]

Esmeralda!

[Phone continues ringing]

[ringing]

Uggh!

[Busy signal]

[cocks gun]

Oh, my God!

Aah!

[Gasping]

‐ [whirrs]

‐ [electricity buzzes]

Thank you.

Miss Anderson.

Miss Anderson.

Miss Anderson,

thank you.

Thank you.

You have no idea

what this means

to my family.

Mr. Hernandez, again,

I'm so sorry for your loss,

but maybe now you can

finally start to move on.

I think so.

Now that we know

that he'll

never be able to get out of prison,

we'll be able to...

find some peace

and, uh...

and celebrate the life

of my daughter.

Oh. You take care

of yourself, Mr. Hernandez.

You too.

I'd say "nicely done,"

but I don't want

to inflate your ego.

Ha ha! A compliment

from you?

I wouldn't know

what to do with it.

I will say

that was a tough one.

Second degree

and nothing but circumstantial?

I honestly didn't think

you could do it.

Now I've changed my mind

about that compliment.

Heh. I hate to cut

the victory dance short,

but I need you to focus

on the next case.

‐Already?

‐Well, this isn't just any case, Shelby.

This is

a game‐changer for us,

and I want you sitting

beside me at trial.

Am I missing

something here?

I take it you haven't read

this morning's headline.

No.

Karen Donovan was

murdered last night.

Yeah.

Daedalus has returned.

[Man]

Daedalus.

How many years has it been

since the last one?

Two years,

eleven months, nine days.

Every couple of years

or so I think,

"This has gotta

be the last one.

He's gotta be

dead by now."

But then there's

always another one.

Yep, and this time our boy's

making a statement.

A former governor's wife.

This one's

gonna be high‐profile.

You recognize his M. O?

Yeah, his M. O. Is

he's sharp, he's calculated.

See, he didn't just want

Karen Donovan dead.

He wanted

to toy with her.

I wonder who

this guy is.

How did he have time

to prep the rail

with Mrs. Donovan

still in the house?

I don't know, he had

to bait her outside somehow.

What about the gun?

The gun, the bullets

were replaced with inert rounds.

Yeah.

I figured that.

The black box?

What's the deal with the box?

It was custom made

with a trigger mechanism.

We've broken it down.

The components are too common to trace the sale, though.

That's cause he knows

how we work.

How'd he do it?

How did he do it?

He didn't put it up

on the railing,

and it's too far

to the ground.

Hey, uh, give me

your glove.

Yeah, got a pair?

Thanks.

Bingo.

Are you sure you're ready

for a case like this?

Obviously, Lisa

thinks I am,

or she wouldn't

want me on it.

What, Dad?

Say what

you want to say.

I'd hate to think

Lisa has more faith

in my abilities

than you do.

No, it isn't that,

sweetheart,

but a case like this

could break your career,

and a broken career

is hard to fix.

Right, Dad.

Yeah, of course.

You're sure it's not

the husband?

Sometimes the obvious assumption

is the right one.

No, it has

to be Daedalus.

The whole crime scene

matches his process.

Ohh.

Are you sure

you're okay?

Yeah.

I'm just concerned

that Daedalus

is setting another trap.

He frames people,

that's what he does,

and nobody knows that

better than I do.

Dad, you followed

the letter of the law.

All the evidence pointed

to Ogden and the others.

Yeah, I sent those men

to prison, innocent men,

and I've had to live

with that my whole life.

Any other judge would've

done the same thing.

Juries can make mistakes;

judges can't.

Okay, tell you what.

Lisa and I are meeting with one of the detectives today.

If I don't think it's iron‐clad,

I'll pull myself from the case.

That I can live with.

[Woman]

We'll be working from here,

and you'll be coordinating with Detective Mike Holland, here, Shelby.

‐Mike, this is Shelby Anderson.

‐Hi.

‐Nice to meet you.

‐Hello.

Well, you look nothing

like your dad.

‐You know my dad?

‐Well, of him.

I mean, it's kind

of hard not to

when you've spent the past 20 years chasing Daedalus.

Twenty years? What, did you

make the force at 15?

Actually, his 11th‐grade

history teacher was James Ogden.

Falsely accused

Daedalus number three.

Someone's been doing

their homework. Yes.

He was a terrific guy.

He did not deserve to spend

three years of his life

in prison and lose his family.

[Woman] This time we're gonna

prosecute the real deal.

I don't have any interest

in breaking any records

for the most false convictions

of a single killer, do you?

‐Not at all.

‐Good.

Did we find out

what he took this time?

Yes, we had the cleaning staff

do a thorough inventory.

‐We think this is it.

‐Hmm.

Daedalus stole

a teddy bear?

He always takes

a souvenir,

something inexpensive

but unique.

I'd never heard

that before.

Well, actually, no one has,

because we haven't told anyone.

We figured it out

after the third killing.

The victim's son told us

that a puzzle box was missing,

and ever since then we have

been doing inventory.

‐Smart.

‐Now, the first Daedalus killing was in 1963.

That makes this guy

at least in his 60s.

Now, given his talent for framing other

people for the crimes he's committed,

I am certain that this guy

was in law enforcement.

He's killed 33 people,

all married women who've been having an affair.

Was Karen Donovan

having an affair?

Yeah, we're still

checking on that.

Boot print was

a lucky break.

Not as lucky

as this one.

The blood on the nails.

Now, the DNA matches

the victim's, Karen Donovan,

but there's a second set of DNA that we

couldn't match to anything in the house.

Why would Daedalus leave his own blood at a crime scene?

Even if he did cut himself,

he'd know we'd test the nails.

Because he's starting

to make mistakes.

No, that doesn't make

any sense. Why now?

Because the guy

is in his 60s, like I said.

Maybe he's not as sharp

as he used to be.

Or maybe it's a trap,

and he's a lot sharper

than the cops.

Everyone makes mistakes

sooner or later.

‐Not Daedalus.

‐Yes. Yes, Daedalus!

Look, Shelby,

Daedalus is just a man.

I don't care how many times this has happened before,

it's not gonna happen again.

And why's that?

Well, 'cause this time

I'm on the case.

The infamous serial killer

Daedalus has struck again,

this time murdering

film star Karen Donovan.

Daedalus, named after

the Greek architect

who was known to construct

the labyrinth of Crete,

channels his victims

through a maze

into a lethal trap.

‐What do you have?

‐Past Daedalus cases.

Start with Linda Carmichael,

August 15th, 1963.

She was the first

Daedalus killing.

The second one

is June MacNair.

This is the

Chicago factory murder.

This was July 2nd, 1971.

Now, a lot of people don't think

this was a Daedalus killing.

I do. The M. O.

Was way too close.

October 31st, 1971,

Gladys Morlow.

He painted the labyrinth

right over her body.

There was 11 more dead girls

by the end of the decade.

We've got Kelly Yamanoko.

We've also got

Roxanne Wyland.

These were two of his

most high‐profile murders.

They were both daughters of high‐powered public officials.

God, they were so young.

1980s, we have seven

that we know of.

Nineties, there were

only five, and so on,

until we get

to Miss Anne Castillo,

which was the one

right before Karen Donovan.

She was a nursing student

on her way home

from night classes

at Cal State Tujunga.

Well, to see them all

right here in front of you...

This is big, Shelby.

It's daunting.

I was hoping your dad could

give us some perspective.

‐What are those?

‐Oh.

Here... we've got

our false Daedaluses.

Number one

is Bill Garrison.

He was arrested

in September of '79.

He was found wandering around

by Daedalus killing number 15.

Then we got Reggie Carvano.

He was arrested

in February of '88.

Reggie's fingerprints

were found on a seashell

that was also at one

of the Daedalus crime scenes.

And that brings us to

false Daedalus number three.

James Ogden.

That's what he looked like

20 years ago

when I knew him.

He was the kind of guy

that you would, uh,

you would introduce

to your sister.

Wow, what happened to

James Ogden really affected you.

[Sighs]

All right.

I'll call my dad.

[Mike] So, what does

a retired judge do?

What does

a retired judge do?

Well, I always tell Shelby

that the most fun part

about getting older is finding

young people to mentor.

But mostly I collect

overpriced wines,

and I read current cases,

and I grumble.

‐ [Chuckles] ‐ And I've got a cabin up in Big Bear.

No, Tahoe, Dad.

Big Bear was

before Mom died.

You sold it and bought

the one in Tahoe.

That's right.

‐Spectacular view.

‐That sounds beautiful.

We don't get up there

much anymore.

Shelby's mom died

in a car accident.

Icy roads.

There were too many

hard memories.

I'm very sorry.

I don't have much time for

cabins or vacations, anyway.

I warned Shelby that the DA's office would eat up her personal life,

which is why

she's still single.

‐ [Laughs]

‐Settle down.

‐Well, I'm just lucky she's on our side.

‐Mike,

defenders and prosecutors should both be on the only side that matters:

the truth.

Yes, sir.

It's been hard on Shelby.

It's like being

the preacher's daughter.

But I couldn't

be prouder of her.

It's always a blessing

when your child exceeds

your greatest expectations.

Well, you've got every right

to be proud of her.

Yep.

You have

a beautiful home.

Would you like a tour?

No, thanks,

I've already seen it.

‐Dad...

‐ [laughs] Yes.

I would love a tour,

thank you.

You know, I gotta tell you,

I was, uh...

I was a little nervous

meeting you.

Why is that?

Well, I testified

once in your court,

and you scared

the hell out of me.

Hmm... I was

just testing you.

Did I pass?

Test ain't over yet.

Here... is all

that overpriced wine

‐Dad was talking about.

‐Fantastic!

This was a great place for hide‐and‐seek when I was younger.

Ah. People actually

have these, huh?

‐Yeah.

‐Hmm.

I'm more of a beer cellar

kind of guy myself.

Mm. Margarita cellar

for me.

Not bad.

When I was younger,

my friends and I

used to take them down

and play a feminist version

of Guinevere

versus Maid Marian

‐versus Joan of Arc...

‐ [laughs]

Oh, my dad would

get furious.

Oh, I bet.

Ta‐da!

[Whistles]

Don't judge me.

Ho‐ho! Wow.

Brit boys.

Mm. They were

a big deal.

Eh, when I was 15.

I know I'm a fan.

That's a great picture

of your dad and you.

Thanks.

Wow, that's a...

That's an awful big

trunk you got there.

Is that where you stash

all the bodies?

‐Funny. No, actually,

want to see something cool? ‐Yeah.

Look, it has this little

secret compartment down here.

My favorite.

‐That's cute.

‐Thanks.

What, your, uh,

dad give that to you?

Yeah. Well, he gave

me everything.

I think he

overcompensated

when my mother died.

He didn't want me losing

a girl's perspective.

Your father's

a good man.

Yeah, he is.

Thanks for coming, Mike.

It was a pleasure.

Oh, pleasure's all mine.

Thank you very much.

Hey, you mind if I use

your restroom before I‐‐?

Down the hall.

The open door.

Open door.

Thank you.

‐Morning.

‐Ready for our morning walk?

How about I tempt you with

a blueberry waffle instead?

Like Mom used to make.

Mike seems like

a nice guy.

Yeah. Yeah,

he's pretty focused.

‐And you're not?

‐Heh.

You look so much

like your mother.

You know, she and I,

we could talk about things

that most people

never even cared about,

like philosophy of language,

logic, law...

Being together made both of us

better at what we did.

You see, sometimes

if you're lucky,

you meet somebody

who inspires you.

[Pounding on door]

‐Who the hell could that be?

‐I'll get it.

‐Mike!

‐Shelby.

Wait, what's going on?

I'm sorry,

is your father home?

‐What's happening?

‐Judge Anderson.

I have two warrants here‐‐

‐What's going on?

‐One to search your house,

and the other for your arrest

in the murder of Karen Donovan.

‐Murder? What are you talking about?

‐Please handcuff‐‐

You can't do this!

You can't come into my house

and arrest me!

‐ [Reciting Miranda warning]

‐Shelby!

You are so far over your head

you have no idea!

I'm gonna get you

thrown off the force!

Who the hell do you

think you are?

Dad, stop talking,

please!

‐Shelby!

‐Mike, you are making a big mistake!

His DNA matches

the blood found

‐in the carpet nail, Shelby.

‐No.

A traffic camera took

a photo of your father's car

leaving the vicinity of

Karen Donovan's murder

‐an hour after it happened.

‐No, that's not possible.

I'm sorry.

Sometimes people

surprise you, Shelby.

They sure do.

Do not say a word,

not a word.

I will be there.

I will get you out, I promise,

as quickly

as I possibly can.

‐ [Siren squawks]

‐Not a word!

[Sobs]

[door buzzes]

‐Hi.

‐Hi.

I'm gonna get you

out of here, Dad.

Death is nothing.

But my reputation...

Yeah. [Sighs]

How did your DNA end up

in Karen Donovan's house?

Do you even know her?

Were you there for

some kind of an event?

Well, yeah,

I met the governor a couple of times.

Do you remember

the last time you saw him?

No. No,

I don't recall.

How did they match

your DNA?

You have to be convicted

of a crime to end up

in the national

DNA database.

When I was on the bench,

I pushed for DNA

background checks,

and I wanted to set an example,

so I volunteered.

Okay, that's good.

Anyone would understand

that a man

who advocates justice

would never commit murder.

Dad, that traffic photo.

What were you doing there

at 1:00 in the morning?

Sometimes I like

to go out.

But there‐‐

there's something...

Give me a minute. Um...

What? What is it?

You don't remember.

Hmm‐mm.

Oh, my God,

you really don't remember.

Dad, are you okay?

The doctors told me that

I have early Alzheimer's.

I was doing okay,

I was fine,

until they took

my meds away.

How long have you known?

A few months.

Why didn't you tell me?

I didn't want

to worry you.

Lisa, this is absurd.

You've known my father for years.

And I'm gonna make sure

he gets a fair trial,

but it's the former

governor's wife, Shelby!

My father is

not capable of murder.

You and I both know there is something more to this.

I thought we were

after justice.

I am, but you're not

being objective, Shelby.

Look, I've spoken to

Dan Artuno in San Francisco.

He'd be happy to have you

in his office for the duration.

We'll even pay

for the lodging.

I'm going to defend

my father.

That's ridiculous.

I won't allow it.

Lisa, if you prosecute my dad,

you leave me no choice.

Shelby, you've worked

far too hard to throw

everything away like this‐‐

your career, your reputation.

I will not fail.

[Lisa] Your Honor,

Mr. Anderson is a risk.

He can flee the country.

He can kill again.

Not to put too fine

a point on it,

but the defendant is innocent until proven guilty.

Galen Anderson is a respected judge with an illustrious career,

not to mention the fact that there is a history of false accusations

when dealing with

Daedalus cases, Your Honor.

There is overwhelming evidence

that links him

to the crime scene

at the former governor's house!

But he has not been convicted,

Ms. Couphon.

I understand that,

Your Yonor, but‐‐

But he is also

a highly revered judge.

We can't put him behind bars

with the same criminals

he spent a lifetime

putting in jail.

‐It would put him at great risk!

‐ [Scoffs]

I'm setting his bail

at $150,000,

and the defendant

will be released

under restricted house arrest,

wearing an ankle monitor.

[Chatter]

Do you believe your father's

really innocent?

Do you think

you'll win this case?

What do you have to say

about these charges?

Miss Anderson, how does it feel

to be on the other side?

‐No comment.

‐What was Daedalus like at home?

Okay, thank you. Thank you.

"No comment" means no comment.

Does this change your relationship with your father?

Sorry. They can't get

through this door.

‐It needs a key. You can just go right out the back.

‐What are you doing?

Just want to make

sure you're okay.

After what you did

to my father?

Shelby, you're

a prosecutor.

I mean, come on.

How many times have you heard people

swear up and down that their

loved ones were innocent?

The only difference is now

you're on the other side.

Don't go there.

You have no right.

I'm sorry that you're

in the position you're in,

but I'm not gonna apologize

for doing my job.

‐Then why are you here?

‐To warn you.

Look, you need to be careful.

That man, he's using you.

Oh, my God.

Mike, listen to yourself.

No. No, no. This is

what Daedalus does.

Don't you understand?

This man has got schemes within schemes.

He's using you right now.

You are in the middle

of the labyrinth,

and you have no idea.

Then tell me, Mike,

if all that's true,

why haven't you asked yourself what role in Daedalus's plan you play,

or do you think that you're the one person who's outsmarted him?

It's gonna be okay, Dad.

You know, when I sat

on the bench,

I had all this time

to watch the defendants.

Some looked like

they didn't care.

Most looked serious

but concerned,

like they were trying

to imagine

how an innocent person

looked.

But a few...

had this wide‐eyed look

like they had no idea

what was going on

around them.

They just were confused

and frightened.

Ah...

The confused and frightened ones usually lost.

It's the DNA evidence.

That's going

to be trouble.

Dad, do you have any idea how your blood might've gotten there?

I presided over three

of the trials.

I made a lot of enemies.

Maybe one of them

is seeking retribution,

or, perhaps, the real Daedalus

is looking for a payback

because none of

the previous frames would stick.

But how would he have

gotten your blood?

I don't know.

I don't know.

I sleep with the windows

open at night.

Maybe my doctor's office.

I don't know!

Okay. We need help.

I know a guy.

Freddy Cook, private investigator.

Do you remember him?

No.

Well, this isn't his specialty,

but he owes me.

[Phone ringing]

Freddy! This is

Shelby Anderson.

[Judge] So,

more paperwork, Counselor.

Your Honor, uh,

this is a preliminary list

of witnesses

we intend to call.

Detective Matthew Brady,

Chicago Police Department?

I don't see how this witness has anything to do with the case,

Your Honor.

He was lead detective

on the July 2nd

1971 murder

of June MacNair.

My client is not on trial for something that happened 40 years ago.

That's a fair question,

Counselor.

I understand.

I wanted to save the court the burden

of so much additional material,

but since it's vital...

‐Could we just get on with it, please!

‐For getting at the truth!

I am petitioning

to officially add

the murders of June MacNair,

Kelly Yamanoko,

Roxanne Wyland,

and Gladys Morlow

‐to the list of charges.

‐Objection, Your Honor.

This is no way to conduct

yourself in my courtroom.

Your Honor, we intend to prove

that Galen Anderson

is the real Daedalus killer,

always has been.

These new materials

overwhelmingly link

the defendant

to all those crimes.

Your Honor, this is

all circumstantial.

No. Once I review

the materials

presented by the state,

I'll decide if they admit

their burden

to support

their additional charges.

Court will be adjourned

till 10:00 a.m. tomorrow morning,

‐when I will have made my decision.

‐ [Bangs gavel]

You are reaching

on this.

Oh, it's only four

additional counts.

You're lucky

it's not all 33.

[Man] You know, the noodles

next door, pretty dodgy,

but I always get

the extra MSG.

I see your diet

hasn't changed.

Actually, the original

Chinese word for "MSG"

was "the essence

of flavor."

Their point.

So, how's the old man

holding up?

He's doing the best he can

under the circumstances.

‐So, what can I do for you?

‐We need your help.

My father

was set up.

Not what they're saying

on CNN.

Come on, Freddy.

You of all people should

know that he's innocent.

He set you straight.

You owe him.

Okay. Okay.

What's your theory?

I think that the real Daedalus is behind this,

and he's framing

my father.

What, Daedalus

framing your father?

Well, I just think

it seems like a stretch.

I mean, how would he get

access to your dad's DNA?

That's

the million‐dollar question.

I think that the real

Daedalus is a cop,

or some sort

of government official.

No one else

would have access.

‐There's no other explanation.

‐So what do you want me to do?

Start by figuring out

his M. O.

Here. These...

are the three

false Daedaluses:

Bill Garrison, Reggie Carvano,

and James Ogden.

These are old photos,

so they probably look different now.

Find out how

they were framed.

Talk to any friends

or family they may have.

[Reporter] It's a media frenzy here today

on day three of the Galen Anderson trial.

With both sides finishing up

opening arguments yesterday,

there's been plenty of heated moments and drama so far.

The prosecution plans

to prove that Galen Anderson

is indeed the infamous

serial killer Daedalus,

while the defense contends

the former judge

is simply a pawn

in a labyrinth of conspiracy.

[Lisa] Dr. Zhang,

in your expert opinion,

would you tell us your profile

of the Daedalus killer?

‐Objection. ‐The state is establishing motive,

Your Honor.

Every serial killer

has one,

and it is vital

to illustrate that pattern

in order to connect it

to the victim.

You may answer the question,

but restrict yourself to motive.

[Zhang] Yes, Your Honor.

It's well known

that Daedalus victims

are all women

who are engaged

in extramarital affairs.

From a profiling standpoint,

that's important

because it points

to a patriarchal man

who sees himself

as an emotional vigilante.

For him, the victims

are villains

who have gotten away

with a crime

because the court system does

not know how to punish them.

Mrs.

Hardington, you were close friends with Karen Donovan.

We're looking

into her background.

You're not blaming

the victim, are you?

Not at all. It's just,

do you know anything

about Karen's past that

could complicate things?

Not that I can think of.

I don't like surprises,

especially when

they can blow my case.

All right.

I saw Karen

up at Coral Shoals

up along the coast

a couple weeks

before she died.

I don't know what

Coral Shoals is. What is it?

Vacation condo rentals.

Very discreet.

It's a place you go for a little something something on the side.

Anyway, Karen was there,

and she was incognito‐‐

sunglasses, scarf over her head,

that sort of thing.

So she was having

an affair?

The governor was very uptight

and traveled all the time.

[Shelby Isn't it true that Daedalus has framed

at least

three people previously?

‐ [Zhang] Yes.

‐Why?

Well, he clearly

takes enjoyment

in being able to outwit

the legal system.

So, based

on your proposed profile,

wouldn't it be very exciting

to Daedalus to frame a judge,

a pillar

of the legal system?

‐Objection.

‐Overruled.

Dr. Zhang, please answer

the question.

Perhaps.

Isn't it true the defendant

was the presiding judge

in the three

previous Daedalus trials?

[Zhang]

Yes. For Daedalus,

the irony of that might be

especially exciting.

Thank you.

No more questions, Your Honor.

Welcome back, everybody,

as we continue today's conversation.

I'm Stefan Chase, joined by

legal expert Charles Lott.

Charles, turning to the

prosecution's strategy,

many in the legal community

were surprised

when the state chose

to try the defendant

for prior

Daedalus murders

and not just the killing

of Karen Donovan.

How is that possible?

[Lott] Well, it's very common

for serial killers

to cover great distances

crossing state lines,

so a new law was created

allowing for

the consolidation of charges

in a single prosecution.

This eliminates the need

to extradite suspects

‐to other states for trials.

‐Okay, very interesting.

While the state has enough

evidence to prosecute,

it's unlikely they'll get convictions on the previous murders.

So, then why

take this to court?

It's actually a brilliant

move by the state.

Getting those additional

murder charges

allows them to use some witness testimony the defendant gave

during the previous

investigation years ago,

and through that affidavit,

the state will try to establish

a pattern of behavior

that will serve as motive.

Okay, we definitely

understand now.

[Clicks off]

Damn paparazzi.

[Galen] Shelby!

Hey! Hey!

[Screams]

‐Shelby!

‐ [Man screams]

Aah! Oh!

[Galen]

Shelby! Shelby!

Shelby,

what are you doing?

‐I'm fine, Dad, I'm fine.

‐ [Beeping]

Your monitor. Come on.

We gotta get back to the house.

‐Come on.

‐You shouldn't be chasing paparazzi.

[Man] The Chicago factory murders,

June 2nd, 1971.

We found this girl,

June MacNair,

dead in an abandoned factory on the near West Side of Chicago.

I was a rookie cop

back then.

It was my first murder scene,

and it was a unique murder scene

because there was this heart

painted on the window

above her dead body.

What links the defendant

to Chicago?

The defendant studied law at Northern Chicago University Law School,

where he earned his degree.

[Lisa] What other evidence

do you have that links

the defendant

to the MacNair murder?

The defendant was

in the same law fraternity

as June MacNair's

husband, Robert.

How do you know that?

Based on many interviews

I had with witnesses,

plus the fact that a scarf

from the same fraternity

was found

in the defendant's belongings.

Your Honor, I would like

to show the witness

the defendant's scarf

that has been marked

as prosecution's

exhibit 49.

[Judge]

You may proceed.

‐Is that the scarf you were referring to?

‐Yes.

And was the husband questioned at all in his wife's murder?

Of course. He was initially

considered a main suspect.

[Lisa] Why?

They were going through

a messy divorce.

Do you know why they were

getting a divorce?

Well, at the time,

we thought they were no longer compatible.

You hesitated.

Did that information change?

[Man] Well, a few years later,

I ran into the husband at a ball game.

We ended up having

a few beers together,

and he told me

confidentially

that Mrs. MacNair had been

stepping out on him.

Objection. Hearsay.

Sustained.

The jury will disregard Detective Brady's last statement.

Was the husband cleared?

Yes. He had

an iron‐clad alibi.

And was the defendant questioned at all about this Chicago murder?

[Brady] Yes, but at the time

all the questions were geared

towards his fellow frat member,

the husband, Robert.

You remember the defendant

after all these years?

Absolutely.

[Lisa] He must've left

quite an impression on you.

‐Objection.

‐Withdrawn.

Please rephrase.

What makes you think

after all these years

that the defendant is

involved in the Chicago murder?

The defendant was spotted

near the crime scene,

but at the time,

we couldn't establish motive.

Once I became aware of the fact

that she had had an affair,

a statement

the defendant had made

many years ago during

the interview process,

well, frankly, that statement

came back to haunt me.

What did he say?

He said that...

broken hearts

are the worst crime.

And that...

their perpetrators

never get

the just punishment

they so sorely deserve.

That sent a chill

through me.

And the look

in his eyes, well...

it was looking into the eyes

of an empty soul.

[Knocks]

Hello.

[Shelby] Lisa is now

trying to connect you

to past Daedalus killings.

If we can establish

alibis for them,

then we'll be able to plant

doubt in the jury.

Shelby, my memory is

getting hazier and hazier.

You have to try, Dad.

Maybe look at your notes or receipts,

past case histories.

Even if I could remember,

I'd still have to prove them.

[Pounding on door]

Well, that's what

we have Freddy for.

What are you doing here?

Did you find something out about our stalker?

Well, the department

is treating it as an incident

with a deranged

freelance photographer.

No. No. It wasn't

paparazzi.

No, I‐I know,

but that's

the department's official line

on the whole thing.

So you have no useful news.

Well, you're not welcome.

Actually, no, it's not

the reason why I came. Look.

I found something,

and I wanted to show you

before I brought it

to Lisa and the judge.

It's a pill bottle

with your dad's name on it.

I found it at Karen Donovan's beach house.

You're nothing but an opportunist looking to make a name for yourself,

and I will not let you

do this to Karen!

Dad, speaking as your attorney,

shut the hell up!

Why are you

helping us?

Believe it or not,

I'm looking for justice, just like you.

Get off my property.

Now! Get off of my property!

‐Dad.

‐Get out!

I'll take the fifth.

I'm perfectly willing

to take the fifth.

You owe me

an explanation for this.

You've been lying to me,

and I'm doing my best to defend you!

What am I supposed

to think? I trusted you.

And now you don't?

You could go

to prison.

I would rather

spend the rest

of my coherent days

or months in prison

than drag Karen's name

through the mud!

Were you in her house?

Yes.

What about the blood?

I don't know.

My memory is spotty.

I might've stepped

on something.

Dad, you need to do

better than this.

The boot print.

I remember

fixing a light.

Okay.

Okay, did she receive

any threats?

Did she have

any stalkers?

Do you remember anything suspicious when you were with her,

like someone

following her?

I don't remember

any significant details, no.

Dad, I need something!

[Sobbing chuckles]

Do you think this is easy?

Everything that I am

is just...

slipping away.

Sometimes I feel like

it's already gone.

Shelby, I'm sorry.

It's okay, Dad.

I mean, I'm really sorry

about this.

[Sighs]

[judge] What issues do you wish to

discuss before I bring the jury back in?

A recent follow‐up search

done by one of our investigators

revealed this medicine bottle

with the defendant's name on it

inside Karen Donovan's

beach condo.

Your Honor, the state

can't introduce new evidence

piecemeal to the jury

in the middle of a trial.

I can't believe

you're considering this.

We need time

to take depositions

and determine

a chain of custody.

This can't be done

carelessly, let alone

during a capital

murder case.

She has a point.

How do you plan to prove

that this medicine belonged

to the defendant?

Your Honor, in order to

understand the relationship

between this new evidence

in our case,

we wish to amend our witness list to include Beth Hardington,

a friend

of Karen Donovan's.

Your Honor, it's too late

for a new witness.

We didn't learn about

this witness until recently.

She is vital to our case,

as she ties

the defendant to the victim

and establishes motive.

Okay, I'll allow it.

Court will re‐convene

at 2:00 p.m.

[strikes gavel]

[phone buzzes]

Give me good news,

Freddy.

I found the sister

of Bill Garrison,

false Daedalus

number one.

She got married twice,

went through two different last names,

plus she didn't publicize

her relationship,

‐for obvious reasons.

‐Okay.

Whatever she can tell you

will be a big help.

Good work, Freddy.

Here you go, Bandit.

Oh, I just love my horses!

Bandit, you are

such a charmer.

He seems like

a real cowboy's horse.

He was Bill's horse.

I've been

taking care of him

since Bill passed away

four years ago.

He had a tough time

after the trial,

even after

he was exonerated?

[Laughs] Oh, well,

he was a little bit

of a celebrity

at first.

He used it to get girls.

But when

the celebrity faded...

the notoriety remained.

Do you remember anything about how he wound up getting accused?

We're trying to see how Daedalus goes about framing people.

Well, I'm afraid

I won't be of much help.

It was‐‐

it was an accident!

Bill was in the wrong place

at the wrong time.

Did he ever meet any of the other false Daedaluses?

Not that I know of.

I mean, being accused

of something like that is a...

it's a dark chapter

in a man's life.

You don't go around

starting a club about it.

You know, he used

to take long walks at night.

Insomnia.

And he had cans of red

spray paint in his home.

That was all they needed.

So, he wasn't

actually framed.

No. No, just bad luck,

I guess.

So, Miss Hardington, you knew Ms.

Donovan was having an affair?

Well, after I saw Karen

at Coral Shoals, I sure did.

Why didn't you come forward

with that information earlier?

I didn't want to see her family dragged through a scandal,

and it didn't

seem relevant.

And did you talk to her

about this affair?

Not at first.

Even though I saw Karen

at Coral Shoals,

and she saw me see her,

I didn't make

a fuss about it.

Girls need

their secrets.

Anyway, a few days

before she died,

we met for lattes,

and she was upset.

‐About what?

‐She'd gotten into an argument.

At first I thought

it was with her husband,

but she didn't typically get all heated up over the governor.

Sure enough,

it was with her guy friend.

What was the fight about?

Well, Karen didn't really

give me all the juicy bits,

but... [sighs]

he was jealous.

Karen said that he wanted

her to get a divorce,

and when she hesitated

he called her

a heartless, using bitch.

He apologized later,

but things changed

for Karen after that.

You haven't said a word

to me since court.

You didn't think that was the sort of thing I needed to know?

It was nothing.

I was upset.

It was the first time

that I had opened myself up

since your mother died,

and I could see it

slipping away.

Now you remember details.

You think I can

control this?

I can't anymore.

I need to know everything

you remember right now.

Can you do that, Dad?

I'll try.

We met

at a charity event.

She was there

with her husband,

who spent the night

hobnobbing with everybody,

so we spent most of the night

talking to each other.

She was bright,

she was beautiful.

She reminded me

of your mother.

She asked

if she could call me

and talk about something personal,

so we met for coffee,

and she told me she wanted my legal advice about getting a divorce.

Can anyone corroborate that?

No, I don't think so,

because she's very

private and discreet.

And it wasn't long before we weren't talking about divorce anymore;

we were talking

about us.

‐But you did fight.

‐We argued

because I wanted more,

because I knew my time

was running out

and I wanted to spend

what time I had with her

in the open, not hiding.

She held back because she knew

I had an expiration date.

And that was

the last time I saw her.

I am tired of you

holding back on me.

I will not let you

die in prison.

[Sighs]

[phone buzzes]

Freddy. Please give me

some good news. I need some.

Bill Garrison died

four years ago,

but he wasn't

actually framed.

He was just in the wrong

place at the wrong time.

I think

what happened to Bill

inspired Daedalus

to frame the others.

I think he got excited

by the idea

that he could manipulate

the entire legal system.

Okay. What about

the other two?

Well, I'm having real trouble tracking down number three, Ogden.

I'm gonna need

some help with that.

But number two, Reggie Carvano,

actually has a fan page.

Now, I don't know if these freaks think that he's actually Daedalus,

or if they just admire

his proximity to Daedalus.

‐Okay.

‐But I arranged an interview

with a girl who says

she slept with him.

Super creepy, but again,

good work, Freddy.

You know, some of these chicks

are pretty hot.

I should get

a prison record.

Okay. On that note,

good night, Freddy.

Dad, what do you‐‐

Unh!

‐Shelby!

‐ [Gasping]

‐Hey! Hey!

‐You murdering son of a bitch!

‐No! No! No!

‐Get out of the way!

‐Shelby, move!

‐No! My dad didn't kill anyone!

My wife's dead

'cause of him!

If you want to kill me,

that is your decision,

but please leave

my daughter alone.

Please.

[Sobbing]

No!

[Grunting]

‐You okay?

‐ [Man sobbing]

‐Yeah.

‐Okay. Come on.

He killed my wife!

No scratches.

Oh...

That was

Hernan Castillo.

His wife Anne Castillo was murdered by Daedalus three years ago,

and he's been in and out

of counseling ever since.

What about

the other stalker?

Well, we've got people watching your house 24/7 now,

so that won't

happen again.

You've been watching us.

I've been checking in.

You weren't

just checking in.

[Chuckles]

Good night.

So, uh, wh‐what's

your real name, anyway?

Icarus. I got my name

changed legally.

So, um, did you think that

Reggie was really Daedalus?

Mm, I wasn't sure

at first.

It's kind of like,

I wanted to believe,

so I saw what

I wanted to see, you know?

Yeah.

But then we had sex,

and it was so ordinary

that I knew

it couldn't be him.

Oh, yeah. Right.

I thought I'd be filled

with this, like,

terrible dark light,

you know?

Yeah. Oh, yeah.

I guess it would be

a memorable experience.

But Reggie was touched

by Daedalus.

He was a hand‐picked piece

on Daedalus's chessboard.

I felt that a little.

Like an aura.

Um, okay. Did Reggie

ever, uh, talk

about how

he was framed?

The way Daedalus

trapped Reggie

is that he plays

a spiral seashell

on his favorite table

at a cafe Reggie liked.

Yeah, like

the Greek myth, right,

the seashell riddle

the king of Crete used

to discover the secret identity

of Daedalus.

You are really cute.

[Chuckles] Aw, it's just

Wikipedia, you know.

After Reggie

moved the shell,

putting

his fingerprints on it,

Daedalus then placed the shell at his next crime scene.

Like the carpet nails.

So, okay, well,

why Reggie?

Why not Ogden

or Garrison?

Garrison was so old.

I was only 19

when he died.

And he was

too pathetic.

Ogden was

too intense for me.

I wanted to work up

to meeting him.

Reggie was supposed to introduce us before he died.

Wait, Reggie knew Ogden?

Yeah. He talked about

him all the time.

They're kind of, like,

in a special club, you know?

When did Reggie die?

About a month before

that Donovan chick ate it.

His house burned down

with him in it.

‐It was arson?

‐Smoking.

Or at least

that's what the cops said.

Did they ever

investigate for arson?

A guy like Reggie dies,

nobody cares.

Nobody investigates.

Hmm.

Sweetheart,

it's after midnight.

You have to get some sleep.

You've had a long day.

I can't sleep.

Dad, I don't know what I'm gonna do tomorrow.

You'll think of something,

but you've gotta give your brain a rest.

We're out of time, Dad.

I've got no one

left to call,

no more witnesses,

no more expert testimony.

I can't just show up in court

and spin my wheels.

Maybe it's enough

already.

No.

I'm not gonna take chances

with your life.

I remember the first time

I saw you in trial.

[Laughs] Oh, God.

That was awful.

You made some mistakes,

but your gift is always knowing

how to get to the truth.

‐Truth doesn't always win.

‐No.

But knowing how to find it

is important, even if you lose.

[Phone vibrating]

Speaking of finding

the truth...

It's Freddy.

Excuse me.

Hey!

What do you know?

James Ogden and Reggie Carvano met each other?

That's what she said,

and then Carvano

ended up dead,

suspiciously.

We have to talk

to Ogden.

‐Yeah.

‐I might know someone who can

help us get his address

and his driver's license.

Already did it.

You accessed

the DMV database?

Eh, I can neither confirm

nor deny that informa...

‐What did you find? ‐Useless, two years out of date,

moves around a lot.

Damn it.

Did you find

anything else?

Nah. I mean, he's got

an online presence.

Oof. He didn't

age well.

Prison, then his wife

and child left him.

What if he's trying to get

revenge on your dad?

No. My father was eminently

fair to him at trial.

Well, after what happened to Ogden,

would he ever care about fair?

I mean, I bet he's mad

at the whole world.

He did sue.

He got a generous settlement,

monthly stipend

for the rest of his life.

Would that make up

for losing everything else?

Probably not.

Wait. They have to mail

those checks somewhere.

I know someone who can

get us that address.

Okay. Okay, Shelby,

I can handle this.

You've got the trial

in the morning.

I'm running out of time, Freddy.

Sleep is for the dead.

Okay, well,

I'm coming with you.

I'm coming with you.

[Siren wailing]

And just stepped

on a syringe.

The junkies are more afraid of you than you are of them, Freddy.

Mmm...

That deadbeat disappeared

about two months ago,

still owes me

a week's rent.

Was it before or after

the Karen Donovan murder?

Oh, yeah, that.

Maybe right before?

But he left all his stuff!

‐Can we go through it?

‐Shit, you can have it.

‐Great.

‐If you pay me his last week's rent.

‐Fair enough.

‐Yep, it's fair.

Can we go through

the room he was staying in?

Sure. It ain't clean,

but help yourself.

‐ [Slides credit card]

‐Checkout is noon.

I'll add it to your tab.

Well, Ogden left

in a hurry.

And I'd like

to know why.

Maybe he's lying dead

in a ditch somewhere,

you know, of something

stupid and random

like a heart attack

or an accident.

Or maybe we're

missing something.

Hey‐ho! Porn in magazine form?

How retro.

Oh, hell, am I really

gonna have to touch these?

[Laughs] The man

who chooses to travel

down these mean streets

must have courage, Freddy.

[Imitates laugh]

Aw, yuck.

‐There's something in here.

‐What's that?

What the hell?

That's a P. G. P. Key.

‐A what?

‐P. G. P.

P.G.P. stands for

"pretty good privacy."

It's an open source

cryptography method,

and by "pretty good,"

they actually mean

unbreakable given current

and foreseen technology.

Now, there are two keys.

Right, these long sequence

of symbols,

and a public key that the user posts in the open.

"Real serial killer memorabilia

for trade or sale."

‐He's marketing himself!

‐Anonymously.

So he signs the message with a public key and a screen name.

Then customers reply

someplace on the Internet,

Ogden downloads this

anonymously, via proxy

or public wireless.

Okay.

Someone's trading a John Wayne Gacy memento for a Daedalus one.

Looks like they've

done this before.

And... we've got

an address.

James Ogden's

secret lair.

Think there's

anybody home?

I guess nobody's home.

Are you okay?

You think

that was a trap?

I think if were a trap,

you'd be missing a foot.

Oh, man.

Wait.

What?

This step should've

collapsed ages ago.

Ogden never uses

this door.

Hey, hey, just be careful

with the‐‐

There's‐‐

Just be careful.

Great. Great.

‐Oh!

‐Everything okay?

Yeah.

Oh, my God.

The labyrinth stencil.

If we'd come in

through the front,

this whole place would've

gone up in flames.

I'd better get

some back‐up proof.

Ogden was the one

watching us.

[Shutter clicking]

Ogden. And Garvano.

And Garrison.

They were working together.

They were all Daedalus.

That's how they were able

to clear each other's names.

This is it.

Ogden killed

Karen Donovan.

And now we can prove it.

Aah!

Stop! Freeze!

[Gasping]

Ogden...

[Shelby] Your Honor,

we would like to move

defendant's exhibits 67

through 82 into evidence.

Objection!

This is far too much evidence

to introduce so late into trial.

Your Honor, the state

has no right to object

given the amount of evidence

they've added.

Well, I agree, Counselor,

overruled.

Defendant's exhibits 67 to 82

are marked into evidence.

Mr. Cook, what are we looking at

on these whiteboards?

These photographs

and pictured objects

were all recovered from

Mr. James Ogden's trailer.

‐And who is James Ogden?

‐He was the third man

originally convicted

for the Daedalus crimes.

He was then set free.

What is the significance

of this photo?

That teddy bear belonged

to Karen Donovan.

It disappeared

the night she was murdered.

And why is

that important?

Daedalus always steals

a trophy from the crime scene.

This time, it happened

to be the teddy bear.

These other items

that you see on the board

are all believed to be trophies taken from other Daedalus crimes.

The police are checking them

against their list now.

What is this stencil?

The stencil in the photograph

matches the paint color

and labyrinth patterns painted

next to the victims' bodies.

Who is this

in this photo?

[Freddy]

That is Bill Garrison,

the first man accused

of being Daedalus,

and he is standing

over the body of Roxanne Wyland,

Daedalus victim number eight,

killed on March 25th, 1974.

‐Here.

‐Reggie Carvano.

False Daedalus number two

with Michelle Waring,

victim number 18, 1985.

James Ogden, posing with

murder victim Anne Castillo.

Bill Garrison

with Gladys Morlow, 1971.

The first labyrinth.

That's a group photo

of Reggie Carvano,

James Ogden,

and Bill Garrison,

all three of the men

who previously went

to trial

for the Daedalus killings.

What do you make

of that?

All three of them

were actually Daedalus,

and they were

working together.

That way they could

provide alibis

for each other

when they got into trouble.

I assume you have another

application, Counselor?

Yes, Your Honor.

In light of

the overwhelming evidence...

the defense moves

to dismiss all charges

against the defendant.

Huh. Would the state prefer

a recess to consider?

The state does not oppose

the motion, Your Honor.

Judge Anderson, on behalf

of the criminal system,

the state, and this court,

I apologize

as a fellow civil servant

that you had to stand up

to all these charges.

I'm proud to see

that justice prevailed.

Charges are dismissed.

[Gavel bangs]

I never doubted

you could do it.

I'm so proud of you.

I'm so proud

of you.

Thank you, baby.

Thank you.

Recycling?

Shelby.

Um, no. No.

Nothing gets recycled,

but it will buried

on a back shelf

somewhere next to the Ark

of the Covenant.

‐I want to ‐‐

‐Wait. No.

Let me start.

I'm glad you came by.

And you know what?

I'm glad you won,

because otherwise

I would've lost you forever.

Thank you.

I want you to come back

and work with me again.

‐Really?

‐Absolutely.

Frankly, I'm even

more impressed

now that we went

head to head.

I'd like that.

‐Yeah? Good.

‐Yeah.

But first, if it's okay,

I need to spend a little quality time with my dad.

It's been a rough ride.

Of course. Decompress.

You need it.

But don't

totally decompress,

'cause I could use

your help around here,

‐and I don't need you getting rusty.

‐Definitely.

Oh, one more thing.

We, uh, recovered

about two‐thirds of the mementos

from Ogden's trailer.

The others are missing.

We think he sold them

in that online trading ring

that you and your private

detective discovered.

‐We'd like your help with that.

‐Absolutely.

There is a lot

of Internet to search.

[Chuckles] Yeah.

I'm glad you're back.

[Sighs]

And you...

are my memento.

[Printer whirring]

‐Hey.

‐Hey.

What are you

doing here?

Well, I just

dropped by the house

to apologize

to your dad.

I mean, I know

protecting you

and your father doesn't

make up for what I did,

but, yeah,

I was just hoping

you and I could have

a fresh start.

I know you were just

doing your job.

‐Well...

‐Well, I mean‐‐

Not just your job.

You were doing what

you thought was right.

Well, I'm glad

I was wrong.

So am I.

‐Okay.

‐I'll see you around, Mike.

See you.

How many famous detectives caught three serial killers in one night?

I'm gonna say none.

Who took that photo?

Come on, Shelby,

come on!

[Phone vibrating]

Hello, this is

Shelby Anderson.

I'm not available

right now.

[Tone whooshes]

[vibrating]

[line ringing]

[man] Los Angeles

Police Department.

[Galen] Shelby?

You're back early.

Yeah, just

a quick run today.

Hey, Dad,

have you seen my phone?

[Galen] No.

[Mike's voice]

Did your dad give that to you?

Yeah, he gave

me everything.

Oh, my God.

[Buzzing]

[muffled screams]

[Galen] Shelby?

Shelby.

Shelby, I am

so proud of you.

You were absolutely perfect,

perfect!

You helped me pull off

the grand finale.

Don't you see?

We did it together.

This only brings us

closer.

Shelby, my Alzheimer's

is real.

Maybe not as debilitating as

I've led people to believe,

but...

I knew it was

only a matter of time

until I wouldn't be able

to remember the scent of death.

And I needed to conduct

one last act

before taking the final bow.

But why get caught?

Why the trial,

why the big show?

I wanted them to suspect,

to come within inches

of catching me,

inches of believing

that I was Daedalus,

and then to have their case

just fall apart.

It was so beautiful,

thanks to you.

Shelby,

you would be astounded

at the kind of admiration

a man like Daedalus gets.

I have my acolytes,

and they help me execute

the plans that I crafted,

I crafted them!

The first one grew sloppy,

and I helped him win at trial.

Carvano and Ogden,

they were much more dedicated.

Though I did let Ogden take

the fall for Karen's murder.

But the world thinks

Ogden is Daedalus,

and now he's dead.

Exactly.

But the Daedalus legacy

can live on.

‐What?

‐Sweetheart, you.

You can take up

where I left off.

It'll be perfect.

My death will prove

that I could never be involved,

and they'll

never suspect you.

Daedalus

can be immortal.

You're insane.

You're smart, Shelby.

You can do this.

I've left instructions

and suggestions

in encrypted files

on my computer.

You were always

an excellent student.

Then let me out.

Let me out.

And I'll help you.

I have to know

I can trust you first.

I'm your daughter.

Remember? You made me.

Let me out,

and I can prove

myself to you.

I can tell when you're lying to me, Shelby.

I'm your father.

Let me out.

Let me out!

Let me out!

I love you, Shelby.

Truly, you are

my masterpiece,

and I wish it didn't

have to end this way,

but I can't say

that I didn't prepare for it.

[Car alarm chirps,

engine revs]

No, don't.

That won't do any good.

Even if you get in,

you can't turn the engine off

or open the hood.

I fixed it.

I prepared

for this exact moment.

[Coughing]

Just like I did

in your mother's car.

What?

She started seeing

someone, Shelby.

She betrayed me,

and Daedalus kills

women who cheat.

And I was living

with someone doing just that.

[Coughing]

The irony. Heh.

I guess

I just didn't provide

the companionship

she required,

but that does not

excuse her behavior,

and I was not gonna let

that cheating whore

ruin your life.

I'm only upset that I had to

disguise your mother's death

as an accident and not

a true Daedalus killing.

Huh.

[Shelby coughing]

Shelby...

Whoops.

Dead end, Shelby.

You better hurry.

The carbon monoxide's

gonna fill the crawlspace.

Come on, Shelby.

Come on.

Shelby...

this is how

it has to be.

[Shelby struggling]

[Shelby coughing]

I'm sorry, Shelby.

You shouldn't have to die.

It should be me.

I should've been

Daedalus's next victim.

They'll never

understand the pain,

the emotional pain

I've caused you.

The emotional pain.

The worst kind of pain.

The worst kind of pain.

‐ [Rings doorbell]

‐Shelby?

‐Shelby!

‐ [Coughing]

Daedalus will avenge you.

You're crazy!

It's almost done now.

Daedalus is making me

hear you die

and using my love for you

to lead me to my own death.

I go into the crawlspace

to rescue you,

but the trap is barricaded

by another trap,

sealing me in

with poison gas.

And I'm killed

by love.

I'm killed by love!

[Coughing]

A tragic and poetic end.

Shelby?

Shelby.

I know you better

than anyone, remember?

Why do you have

to be so difficult?

Don't you know

you can be a legend?

Aah!

[Mike] Shelby!

Shelby!

Jesus.

It's over.

Come on.

Come on.

Let's get out of here.

Come on. It's over.

It's okay.

‐It's okay.

‐It was him.

It was him all along.

‐You were right. ‐I know.

He fooled everybody. It's okay.

Come here.

It's okay.

You know,

I've... I've studied

and admired your work

for years, sir.

It is a pleasure to finally

meet you face to face.

You set this whole thing up,

didn't you?

Our mutual friend

tells me you're curious.

I wanna learn.

Then do your job.

I have a plan, and you'll know

when you're needed.
