HI, THERE, FRANK!



SAW YOU WORKING UP THERE.
PUTTING IN A SECURITY LIGHT, HUH?

THE DAYS ARE GONNA START GETTING
SHORTER. BE NICE FOR CATHERINE...

WHEN SHE COMES
HOME FROM WORK LATE.

OH, YOUR WIFE GOT THE JOB.

- YEAH.
- HA! TERRIFIC.

YEAH, WHAT IS THE NAME
OF WHAT SHE DOES, AGAIN?

SHE'S A CLINICAL
SOCIAL WORKER. RIGHT.

- SO YOU GOT ALL THE TOOLS
YOU NEED THERE, FRANK?
- YEAH.

I THINK I'M ALL SQUARED
AWAY, JACK. FRANK.

- YEAH.
- GOT A PHONE CALL.

- HI.
- HI.

COME, BENNY! LET'S GO OUTSIDE!

COME ON, BENNY! COME ON, BENNY!

HELLO? HELLO, FRANK.
IT'S PETER WATTS.

YES, PETER. FRANK, I'M
DOWN IN SAN FRANCISCO.

I GOT WHAT COULD BE A
MULTIPLE HOMICIDE HERE.

POSSIBLY SOMETHING A
LITTLE MORE INVOLVED.

DO YOU WANT TO SEND ME THE
DETAILS? I COULD DO THAT, FRANK,

BUT THE LACK OF DETAIL HAS
CREATED A HIGH LEVEL OF CONCERN.

I REALLY THINK WE
COULD USE YOU HERE.

RIGHT. I'LL MAKE
THE ARRANGEMENTS.

WAS THAT SOMEONE FROM THE GROUP?

THEY'VE GOT SOMETHING FOR ME
TO LOOK AT DOWN IN SAN FRANCISCO.

- SOON?
- RIGHT AFTER I FINISH
WIRING UP THAT LIGHT.

WELL, WE'RE SET THEN. PETER.

FRANK. HOW WAS THE TRIP?
GOOD. WHAT DO YOU GOT?

MEMBERS OF THE GARDENING
CLUB NOTICED THAT ASHES...

WERE BEING DEPOSITED IN THE PARK
ROSE BEDS OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS.

ONE OF THEM NOTIFIED THE DETECTIVES
THIS MORNING WHEN SHE FOUND THIS.

IT APPEARS TO BE ADULT.

A GOOD PORTION OF THE
INTERIOR HELIX IS STILL INTACT.

I THINK WE CAN GET A NICE
IMPRESSION OF THE REMAINING AURICLE.

THERE'S A LOT OF ASHES THAT HAVE
BEEN DUMPED AROUND HERE, FRANK.

THE LOCAL P.D. THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE A
CASE OF ILLEGAL CREMATORY DUMPING.

- NO, HE...
- HE'S WHAT, FRANK?

KILLER KNOWS THE VICTIM. HE
WANTS TO WATCH HIM SUFFER.

I THINK THERE ARE MULTIPLE
BODIES HERE, MULTIPLE VICTIMS.

WHAT'S HE USING?
A CREMATORY OVEN?

I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO
HIM THAT HE BURNS THEM ALIVE.

WHY?

I DON'T KNOW.

OKAY. WHAT'S GOING ON IN HERE?

BENNY'S GIVING ME KISSES.

WELL, THERE'S WAY TOO
MUCH FUN GOING ON IN HERE.

OKAY. BEN, BEDTIME.

DOWNSTAIRS. BEDTIME.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

AND YOU...

MOMMY, WHEN IS
DADDY COMING HOME?

I DON'T KNOW, HONEY. I'M SURE HE'LL
BE HOME SOON. MAYBE TOMORROW.

- IS HE WORKING?
- YES.

CATCHING A BAD MAN?

IF THERE'S A BAD MAN, I'M SURE
DADDY'S GOING TO CATCH HIM.

NOW, I WANT YOU TO
CLOSE THOSE EYES...

AND COUNT AS HIGH
AS YOU CAN, OKAY?

OKAY. OKAY.

ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR,

FIVE, SIX, SEVEN,
EIGHT, NINE, 10, 11, 12,

13, 14, 15, 16, 17,
18, 19, 21, 22, 23,

24, 25, 26, 27, 28...

HELLO? HI, IT'S ME.

WHAT? WHAT'S WRONG?

NOTHING. I, UM...

I JUST GOT A LITTLE SPOOKED
BY THE NEW SECURITY LIGHT.

WHAT HAPPENED? ARE
YOU ALL RIGHT? I'M FINE.

IT JUST... WENT ON.

I'M SURE IT WAS JUST
A CAT OR SOMETHING.

I-I'M SURE IT'S NOTHING, HONEY.

JUST AN ADJUSTMENT. YOU
GUYS ALL LOCKED UP UP THERE?

WE'RE FINE, FRANK, REALLY.

IT'S A PERFECTLY
SAFE NEIGHBORHOOD.

FRANK.

I GOTTA GO. YOU WANT
ME TO CALL YOU BACK?

NO.

DID YOU CATCH THE
BAD MAN, FRANK?

NO. BUT WE WILL.

I KNOW.

LOVE YOU.

FRANK, THIS IS JIM PENSEYRES. HE
WORKED AT VICAP JUST AFTER YOU LEFT.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU EVER
MET. NO. HI. WHAT'D YOU FIND?

EXCAVATION OF THE
SITE IS INCOMPLETE,

PENDING A PROBLEM WITH
THE PARKS DEPARTMENT.

BUT I THINK WE WERE ABLE
TO SEPARATE OUT MOST

OF WHAT THERE WAS
THERE IN THE PLANT BEDS.

THIRTY-NINE POUNDS OF
CARBONIZED HUMAN REMAINS.

ROUGHLY THE EQUIVALENT
OF SEVEN ADULTS.

DATING IS DIFFICULT, BUT THERE
APPEARED TO BE A DEFINED STRATUM,

WHICH WOULD INDICATE
MORE THAN ONE DEPOSIT.

WHAT ELSE? THE
REMAINS ARE CLEAN.

BY THAT, I MEAN UNIFORM.
NO LARGE FRAGMENTS,

APART FROM THE PARTIAL EAR,
WHICH WOULD INDICATE EXTREME HEAT.

- WHAT KIND OF HEAT?
- BONE CARBONIZES
AT 1,400 DEGREES,

BUT I'D PUT THIS
AT 2,100, 2,200.

WHAT ABOUT THE EAR? IT
SHOULDN'T HAVE SURVIVED.

I DON'T KNOW HOW IT DID, BUT WE
PULLED A MOLD, AND... SOMETHING ELSE.

SOMETHING JUST AS LUCKY.

THE TISSUE CONTAINED
TRACES OF LYSERGIC ACID... L.S.D.

ALSO PHOSGENE, A
RELATIVELY UNCOMMON GAS...

BEST KNOWN AS A BY-PRODUCT
FOUND AT ACCIDENT SITES...

- MOST COMMONLY CHEMICAL PLANTS
USING CARBON TETRACHLORIDE.
- DRY-CLEANING FLUID.

YEP. THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT AT A BIG
DRY-CLEANING FACILITY HERE SEVEN YEARS AGO.

THEY'VE GOT A BLOCK OF ABANDONED
BUILDINGS DOWN NEAR PIER 23.

NOT MUCH LEFT OF ANYTHING.

NO.

DO WE KNOW WHO
OWNS THESE BUILDINGS?

THE CITY. THEY'VE BEEN
FOR SALE FOR YEARS.

NO BUYERS.

I DON'T KNOW, FRANK. WHAT DO
YOU THINK THEY'D BE DOING IN HERE?

MAYBE THIS IS WHERE THE
VICTIMS WERE SUBDUED.

PETER...

ON THE NUMBER 16 MOLAR,
THERE'S A CROWN THAT'S

BEEN DONE MORE RECENTLY
THAN THE OTHER WORK.

ANY INDICATION HOW
IT WAS REMOVED?

FROM THE SCORING ON THE ENAMEL, IT
LOOKS LIKE SOME KIND OF CRUDE METAL TOOL.

THERE'S A CUSPID FILLING HERE
THAT'S PRETTY MUCH STATE-OF-THE-ART.

THESE OTHER FILLINGS ARE
SUBSTANDARD COMPOUND AMALGAM,

WHICH INDICATES
SOMETHING IMPORTANT.

THEY WERE DONE SOMEWHERE ELSE.
THERE ARE TWO ROOT CANALS HERE...

WHICH WERE DONE WITH
A PROCESS KNOWN AS N2.

THEY LOOK DIFFERENT
IN THE X-RAYS.

YOU'LL FIND THIS KIND
OF WORK COMING OUT OF

EASTERN EUROPEAN
COUNTRIES, OUT OF RUSSIA.

I THINK THE POOR GENERAL CONDITION
OF THE TEETH WOULD SUGGEST THE LATTER.

WHO'S RUNNING THIS
THROUGH RECORDS?

PENSEYRES IS WORKING
WITH THE P.D. ON IT.

GOT A SURPRISE FOR YOU GUYS.

WELL, LOOK WHO CAME
DOWN FROM THE MOUNTAIN.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE, MIKE?

CAUGHT THE SAME FISH THREE
DAYS IN A ROW. BIG BROWN.

FIVE, FIVE AND A HALF
POUNDS IF HE'S AN OUNCE.

FIGURED THE FISH AND I
BOTH NEEDED A DAY OFF.

- HEY, MIKE.
- FRANK. THANKS FOR COMING
ON SUCH SHORT NOTICE.

- SOME CASE.
- YEAH.

- WE JUST NEED A BREAK
ON THESE DENTAL RECORDS.
- YOU HAVE A SECOND, FRANK?

I NEVER TOLD ANYONE
ABOUT THESE, AS YOU ASKED.

BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW I WAS VERY UPSET
WHEN I OPENED THE PACKAGE AND SAW THEM.

I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW
YOU MUST HAVE FELT. RIGHT.

I APPRECIATE YOU
CONFIDING IN ME.

YOU'RE THE REASON I WAS
EVEN ABLE TO COME BACK

TO WORK, MIKE, THAT I'M
A MEMBER OF THE GROUP.

DOES CATHERINE HAVE ANY IDEA YET
THAT THESE NEW PHOTOS WERE TAKEN?

I NEVER LIKE TO KEEP ANYTHING FROM
HER, BUT WE'VE BARELY SETTLED IN.

I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT NOT TO. IS
THAT YOUR THREAT ASSESSMENT?

I THINK THERE'S A LOW-RISK
POTENTIAL IN THE PHOTOGRAPHER...

ESCALATING FROM
THE STALKING PHASE.

IT'S BEEN THREE
YEARS SINCE HIS FIRST

MAILING, AND HE'S STILL
KEEPING SAFE DISTANCE.

HE DOESN'T WANT
TO BE DISCOVERED.

EVEN THOUGH HE HAS
FOLLOWED US TO SEATTLE?

I WOULD BE MORE
CONCERNED IF I THOUGHT THIS

WAS REALLY ABOUT
CATHERINE AND YOUR DAUGHTER.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN? HE SENDS
THE PHOTOS TO YOU, FRANK.

THE ENVELOPE HAS
YOUR NAME ON IT.

WHAT'S THE OBJECT OF TERRORISM?

- TERROR.
- THAT'S ALL HE WANTS
AT THIS POINT.

THEN HE'S A SUCCESS.

YOU GOT ANYTHING ELSE, MIKE?

FILM WAS PURCHASED IN
THE STATE OF WASHINGTON.

BEYOND THAT, HE'S TAKEN CARE NOT TO
CONTAMINATE THE FILM OR THE PACKAGE...

WITH ANYTHING I COULD PULL.

YOU COME ALL THE WAY OUT HERE
JUST TO ALLAY MY FEARS, MIKE?

IT WOULD BE THE EASIEST THING IN THE WORLD
TO GO HOME, BE WITH YOUR FAMILY, FRANK.

BUT WE NEED YOU HERE ON
THIS ONE. WE NEED YOUR ABILITIES.

I HAVE A BAD FEELING
ABOUT THIS CASE.

I THINK IT IS NOT LIKE ANY OTHER
CASE I'VE EVER SEEN BEFORE.

THAT WOULD BE MY
THREAT ASSESSMENT.

HI. MY NAME'S BOB SMITH,

AND I HOPE YOU HAVE A
MOMENT, BECAUSE I HAVE

A ONE-TIME OFFER ON A
NEW HAIR CARE PRODUCT...

I THINK YOU WON'T
WANT TO PASS UP.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO TRY OUR
PRODUCT ABSOLUTELY FREE?

WELL, TERRIFIC. I JUST NEED
YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.

UH, AND A CREDIT CARD
NUMBER FOR FUTURE PURCHASES.

- NO ORDERS WRITTEN?
- NOT YET.

HELLO? IS ANYBODY THERE?

HI, MY NAME IS BOB SMITH. I
HOPE YOU HAVE A MOMENT.

THE DENTAL RECORDS MATCHED A MISSING
PERSONS REPORT FROM SIX MONTHS AGO,

FILED BY THE KID'S PARENTS.

THE MOTHER AND FATHER
WERE NATURALIZED CITIZENS.

IMMIGRATED FROM CHECHNYA
IN 1990, WHEN THE SON WAS 15.

KID HAD A NICE RAP SHEET... B
AND E, MINOR ASSAULT, POSSESSION.

PARENTS' ADDRESS IS
13235 LIBERTY AVENUE.

- MR. BOLOW?
- YES?

I'M FRANK BLACK. THIS IS PETER WATTS.
WE'RE VERY SORRY ABOUT YOUR SON.

WE'RE TRYING TO FIND OUT HOW
THIS MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED TO HIM.

SIX MONTHS YOU
COULDN'T FIND EEDO,

AND NOW YOU WANT ME TO HELP YOU?

WE'RE NOT FROM THE POLICE
DEPARTMENT, MR. BOLOW.

WE BELIEVE YOUR SON MIGHT
BE ONE OF SEVERAL VICTIMS.

HE WOULDN'T LISTEN TO US.

EEDO HAD HIS OWN IDEAS...

PUT IN HIS HEAD BY
THESE FRIENDS OF HIS.

WHAT FRIENDS, MR. BOLOW?

DRIVING THOSE... GERMAN
CARS. ALL HE COULD TALK ABOUT.

THEN ONE DAY, EEDO COMES
HOME DRIVING ONE TOO.

SELLING PRODUCTS NOBODY
WANTS OVER THE PHONE.

- DO YOU KNOW WHERE HE WORKED?
- NO. HE SAID
HE COULDN'T TELL US.

HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO BE RICH.

HAD YOU HEARD FROM HIM RECENTLY?

YEAH. SIX MONTHS AGO
HE SENT US A LETTER.

A TERRIBLE LETTER.

THAT'S WHEN WE
CALLED THE POLICE.

MY WIFE WAS SO ASHAMED
SHE WANTED TO BURN IT.

IT'S IN RUSSIAN. IF YOU
WANT ME TO TRANSLATE...

WE WOULDN'T WANT TO PUT YOU OR
YOUR WIFE THROUGH THAT RIGHT NOW.

THANK YOU FOR
LETTING US READ IT.

MR. BOLOW, IT WOULD BE A BIG HELP IF WE
COULD HAVE A LOOK AT THE ENVELOPE TOO.

THANK YOU.

THE SALUTATION IS TO HIS
MOTHER. HE'S DISOWNING HER.

"I AM CUTTING THE TIES THAT
PREVENT MY ASCENDENCE...

"TO A HIGHER STAGE.

"MY BIRTHRIGHTS AND ALL MY
FORMER WORLDLY POSSESSIONS...

"HAVE BEEN BURNED...

"IN A SACRIFICIAL
FIRE... OF MY NEW FAITH."

- CULT INDOCTRINATION.
- THERE'S REFERENCE
TO FIDELITY AND DUTY...

AND BURNING IN THE
FIRES OF GEHENNA.

"IF I SHOULD DISHONOR
MYSELF OR MY NEW BROTHERS."

"GEHENNA" IS HEBREW FOR "HELL."

"I HAVE SEEN THE ALL-POWERFUL
ONE IN THE POURING RED RAIN,

"AND I FEAR NOTHING BUT
HIS WRATH AND VENGEANCE.

"THE END IS COMING. THE NUMBERS
HAVE BEEN MISCALCULATED.

"TWENTY-FOUR
TIMES FIFTEEN ARE 360.

- ADJUSTABLE BY..."
- 286.1.

THERE IS A DELIBERATE ERROR
IN THE GREAT PYRAMID OF GIZEH,

AN ARCHITECTURAL ANOMALY
THAT SOME PROPHETS HAVE CITED...

AS AN ERROR IN OUR CALCULATION
OF THE TRUE CALENDAR YEAR.

SOME BELIEVE IT SETS THE
DATE OF THE APOCALYPSE IN 1998.

PLAN YOUR INVESTMENT
STRATEGY ACCORDINGLY.

HE SAYS THE WEAK AND
THE INDOLENT SHALL PERISH,

THAT HE IS WITH HIS NEW FAMILY NOW,
AND HE MUST RENOUNCE HIS PARENTS...

JUST AS HE
RENOUNCES HIS BELIEF...

IN ANYTHING BUT THE
POWER OF THE ENTERPRISE.

AND THAT THE POWER
OF THE ENTERPRISE...

RESIDES IN THE
HEARTS OF THE FAITHFUL.

AND IN THE ASHES OF THE DEAD.

SOMEBODY REALLY
GOT INTO THIS KID'S HEAD.

I'M NOT SURE HE'S
WRITING OUT OF FAITH.

I THINK HE'S WRITING
OUT OF FEAR.

COULD'VE BEEN
FORCED TO WRITE IT.

TOO MANY INTRANSITIVE VERBS.

AND THE IMAGERY... VERY
POWERFUL, VERY PERSONAL.

THE USE OF THE WORD
"GEHENNA" IS STRANGE.

ITS USAGE IS ARCHAIC AND FOUND ONLY
IN CERTAIN OLD TESTAMENT TRANSLATIONS.

- MAYBE HE WENT TO HEBREW SCHOOL.
- SOMEBODY POWERFUL GOT A HOLD
ON THIS KID, THAT'S FOR SURE.

OR SOME THING.

WAKE UP, SWEETIE. WE'RE HOME.

YOU WAITING FOR ME?

YOU WANT TO GO OUTSIDE? HUH?

CATHERINE?

CATHERINE, IT'S-IT'S
BOB BLETCHER.

- BOB?
- YEAH.

IS EVERYTHING OKAY? YEAH.

ACTUALLY, YOU SCARED
ME HALF TO DEATH.

OH, I'M SORRY. I WAS, UH...

FRANK HAD GIVEN ME A CALL
ASKING IF I COULD STOP BY.

I THINK HE WAS A LITTLE
WORRIED ABOUT YOU AND JORDAN.

OH, I'M SORRY. THANK YOU.

UH, WE'RE FINE.
REALLY. YOU'RE SURE?

YEAH. I JUST WASN'T EXPECTING
ANYONE. WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME IN?

NO, NO, THAT'S OKAY. I KNOW YOU
GOT YOUR LITTLE GIRL TO PUT TO BED.

I'M GOING TO PUT
SOME COFFEE ON, OKAY?

SO HOW MUCH HAS HE TOLD YOU?

ABOUT HIS BREAKDOWN?

ONLY A LITTLE BIT MORE
THAN I'D ALREADY HEARD.

HE TOLD ME ABOUT THE POLAROIDS
THAT SOMEONE TOOK OF YOU.

AND THAT AFTER HE FOUND THEM,
HE COULDN'T LEAVE THE HOUSE.

THAT HE WAS AFRAID
TO LEAVE YOU ALONE.

HE WAS PARALYZED, BOB.

NOT BY FEAR... BY
SOMETHING MUCH DEEPER.

BY UNDERSTANDING.

YEAH, HE TALKED ABOUT THAT.

ABOUT BEING ABLE TO
SEE INTO THE DARKNESS.

THAT HE'D DEVELOPED
A KIND OF A FACILITY...

TO SEE WHAT A KILLER SEES.

AS WELL AS YOU KNOW HIM,

AS LONG AS YOU TWO
WORKED TOGETHER,

I DON'T THINK ANYONE CAN APPRECIATE
EXACTLY WHAT THAT MUST BE LIKE.

NO. BUT I'M SURE YOU
KNOW BETTER THAN ANYONE.

I DON'T KNOW HOW
HE WAS ABLE TO DO IT.

I DON'T KNOW HOW HE
EVER WENT BACK TO WORK.

WELL, HE WAS APPROACHED
BY THIS MILLENNIUM GROUP.

YES, BUT...

FRANK WENT BACK TO
WORK BECAUSE HE HAD TO.

IT'S WHO HE IS.

SOMETIMES I THINK OF FRANK
AS THE "CATCHER IN THE RYE,"

STANDING AT THE EDGE OF THE
CLIFF, TRYING TO SAVE THE WORLD.

BUT HE CAN'T CHANGE ANYTHING.

ALL HE CAN DO IS CATCH
THESE HORRIBLE MEN...

BEFORE THEY KILL AGAIN.

AND THAT'S WHY I CAN
NEVER LET HIM THINK...

THAT JORDAN AND I
AREN'T PERFECTLY SAFE...

IN THIS PERFECT HOUSE...

AND PERFECT WORLD
THAT HE'S TRIED TO GIVE US.

BECAUSE I KNOW IF HE
EVER THOUGHT DIFFERENTLY...

NEXT TIME HE'D NEVER
BE ABLE TO LEAVE.

♪♪

IT'S ALL RIGHT. I'M NOT
GONNA HURT YOU. IT'S OKAY.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU
BEEN IN SAN FRANCISCO?

I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.

COME ON. WHAT WERE YOU
DOING OUT THERE TONIGHT?

MY NAME IS BOB SMITH.

ANYTHING? NOT YET.

HE'S ONLY GIVEN HIS
NAME AS BOB SMITH.

HE'S SAYING THAT THEY'RE
TALKING TO A DEAD MAN.

WHAT WERE YOU DOING
OUT THERE, FRANK?

GOING BACK TO
SATISFY A CURIOSITY...

ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED
OUT THERE THAT NIGHT.

AND?

I THINK I KNOW
WHAT HE'S AFRAID OF.

THEN MAYBE YOU
SHOULD TALK TO HIM.

YOU'VE SEEN IT, HAVEN'T YOU?

SEEN THE HIDEOUS
FACE, JUST LIKE EEDO DID.

SEEN THE RED RAIN FALLING
AND THE FACE OF THE BEAST.

I'VE SEEN IT TOO. I KNOW
WHY YOU'RE AFRAID.

BUT YOU'RE SAFE FROM IT NOW.

NO ONE IS SAFE FROM IT.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

HOW CAN IT TOUCH YOU HERE?

WHAT COULD IT DO TO YOU HERE?

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

IT KNOWS.

IT KNOWS EVERYTHING.
IT KNOWS THE NUMBERS.

- WHAT NUMBERS?
- THAT'S ALL THERE IS.

PHONE NUMBERS, SERIAL NUMBERS,

CARD NUMBERS.

YOU AND EVERYBODY ELSE.
THE NUMBERS ARE ALL WE ARE.

IT KNOWS YOUR NUMBERS,
AND IT KNOWS YOU.

WHAT DOES IT WANT?

OBEDIENCE.

OBEDIENCE AND CONTROL.

IN RETURN FOR WHAT?

TO SHARE IN THE POWER
WHEN THE END COMES.

WHEN THE EVERLASTING FIRES
RAGE IN THE YEAR OF DESTINY.

WHEN THE WEAK AND
THE INDOLENT PERISH.

THEY TOLD ME... WE
WERE GONNA BE RICH!

THAT WE WERE THE CHOSEN ONES.

THAT DISCIPLINE WAS THE
WAY TO OUR OWN SALVATION.

THAT PROSPERITY WAS POWER.

AND THEY SAID WE COULD
LEAVE WHENEVER WE WANTED.

IT WAS A LIE. NO
ONE COULD LEAVE.

AND IT MADE US
TURN ON EACH OTHER.

DID IT KILL EEDO BOLOW?

YES.

BECAUSE HE WAS WEAK.

BECAUSE HE LOST HIS DISCIPLINE.

JUST LIKE THE OTHERS DID.

JUST LIKE I DID.

ONCE YOU'VE LOST
YOUR FAITH IN DISCIPLINE,

IT WILL DEVOUR YOU.

NOTHING CAN SAVE YOU FROM IT.

YOU CAN'T SAVE ME FROM IT.

HEY!

OH, GOD!

GET A DOCTOR.

GO HOME, FRANK.

I THINK YOU SHOULD GO HOME, SEE
YOUR FAMILY AND GET SOME REST.

THAT KID DIED OF FRIGHT, MIKE.

HE WAS SO FULL OF L.S.D. WE'LL
NEVER KNOW WHAT HE DIED OF.

HE COULDN'T ESCAPE
IT, WHATEVER IT WAS.

WHAT COULD BE SO POWERFUL
THAT YOU COULDN'T ESCAPE IT?

WHAT YOU DESCRIBED IN THERE
LAST NIGHT... THE FACE OF THE BEAST.

I SAW IT THE DAY I ARRIVED.

I'VE SEEN THE FACE
OF EVIL, FRANK.

I'VE LOOKED INTO ITS EYES
AND SEEN IT STARING BACK AT ME.

BUT THE FACE HAS ALWAYS BEEN
A MAN'S FACE, A HUMAN'S FACE.

I'VE ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT EVIL IS
BORN IN A COLD HEART AND A WEAK MIND.

I HAVE TOO.

HI, THERE, FRANK. SEE YOU
WERE GONE FOR A FEW DAYS, HUH?

WORK? HI, JACK. YEAH.

WORKING WITH THAT CONSULTANT
GROUP YOU MENTIONED.

- YEAH.
- YEAH.

UH, CONSULTING... THAT'S ONE OF
THOSE THINGS YOU ALWAYS WONDER...

EXACTLY WHAT THAT
MEANS, YOU KNOW?

WELL, BASICALLY, WE'RE GIVEN
A PROBLEM. WE TRY TO SOLVE IT.

OH, I SEE. YEAH.

SO DID YOU SOLVE THE
PROBLEM YOU WERE WORKING ON?

NO. NO, I DIDN'T.

COULDN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE OF IT.

DID YOU WANT TO SAY
GOOD NIGHT TO JORDAN?

YEAH.

I HEAR IT'S A REAL POTBOILER.

FULL OF TREACHERY,
DEATH, VIOLENCE.

- YEAH.
- LOOKING FOR MORAL GUIDANCE...

OR JUST A LITTLE
LIGHT BEDTIME READING?

JUST SOME ANSWERS, I GUESS. SOMETHING
HAPPENED DOWN IN SAN FRANCISCO.

ANYTHING YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT?

I'M JUST CONFUSED ABOUT SOMETHING
I THOUGHT I UNDERSTOOD ABOUT EVIL.

- WHAT IT IS, EXACTLY.
- YOU MEAN, WHAT CAUSES IT?

IT SEEMS THAT THE OLD BIBLICAL
CONCEPT OF THE DEVIL'S INFLUENCE...

HAS LOST ANY CURRENCY.

I JUST THINK THE
LANGUAGE HAS CHANGED.

I THINK SCIENCE AND
PSYCHOLOGY HAVE GIVEN US...

A CLEARER IDEA OF WHY
PEOPLE COMMIT EVIL ACTS.

I SEE IT EVERY DAY. ABUSED
KIDS BECOME ABUSIVE ADULTS.

SO THE TRUE
SOURCE OF EVIL IS US?

YOU MEAN, ARE WE
ALL CAPABLE OF IT?

OR IS THERE SOMETHING OUT THERE,
A FORCE OR A PRESENCE, WAITING...

UNTIL IT CAN CREATE
ANOTHER MURDER,

ANOTHER RAPE, ANOTHER HOLOCAUST.

I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT EVERYONE
WHO LOOKS DEEPLY AT LIFE WONDERS.

WHAT WOULD YOU TELL A CHILD?

WHAT WOULD I TELL JORDAN?

MAYBE YOU SHOULD JUST
TELL HER GOOD NIGHT.

HELLO. FRANK, IT'S MIKE ATKINS.

SORRY FOR CALLING SO
LATE. I'M UP WORKING ANYWAY.

SO AM I. WHERE ARE YOU?

I'M STILL IN SAN FRANCISCO.

WE GOT OUR FORENSIC DATA BACK
ON THE DEAD BOY EARLIER TONIGHT.

FOUND SOMETHING WE
WEREN'T EXPECTING. WHAT?

KID'S CLOTHING AND TISSUES
SHOWED TRACES OF AN INSECTICIDE...

USED IN THE MAKING OF
SOMETHING CALLED SARIN.

SARIN GAS.

WHICH WAS USED IN THE TERRORIST
ATTACK IN THE SUBWAY IN JAPAN.

THE LEADER OF THE CULT BELIEVED TO BE
RESPONSIBLE IS ON TRIAL FOR THAT ATTACK...

AS WELL AS SEVERAL
OTHER MURDERS.

DO YOU KNOW HOW THEY SAY HE
DISPOSED OF HIS VICTIMS, FRANK?

AN INDUSTRIAL-SCALE MICROWAVE.

HE'D AMASSED OVER
A BILLION DOLLARS.

HE'D BEEN TRYING TO BUY
WEAPONS FROM THE RUSSIANS.

THEY THINK HE MAY HAVE EVEN BEEN
TRYING TO GET AHOLD OF THE EBOLA VIRUS.

HE WANTED TO BRING
ON ARMAGEDDON.

COULD IT HAPPEN HERE, FRANK?

FRANK?

LISTEN, MIKE. I FOUND SOMETHING.

A BUSINESS LISTING FOR
GEHENNA INTERNATIONAL.

IT LOOKS LIKE AN OFFSHORE
HOLDING COMPANY.

- WHAT DOES IT HOLD?
- INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS.

CHEMICALS. THEY LIST ONE OF
THEIR PLANTS IN SAN FRANCISCO.

I'M ON IT.

- WHAT?
- I DON'T KNOW.

I JUST HAVE A VERY BAD
FEELING ABOUT SOMETHING.

HEY, HEY, HEY! LET ME OUT! HEY!

HEY!

HEY!

TURN IT OFF! TURN IT OFF!

CHECK HIS PULSE! GET
AN AMBULANCE! GO, GO, GO!

SAN FRANCISCO LAW
ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES...

WORKED IN TENSE COOPERATION
IN THE ROUNDUP AND ARREST...

OF WHAT IS BEING REFERRED
TO AS A DEATH CULT,

WHOSE AIM IS BELIEVED TO BE
NOTHING LESS THAN MASS DESTRUCTION.

THE SUSPECTED LEADER IS A FORMER
CHEMICAL ENGINEER NAMED RICARDO CLEMENT.

HE IS BEING HELD UNDER
THE SUSPICION OF MURDER...

OF AT LEAST ONE CULT MEMBER.

AUTHORITIES CONFISCATED A LARGE
CACHE OF BIOLOGICAL AND OTHER WEAPONS...

PURCHASED ON THE GLOBAL
BLACK MARKET, FUNDED BY...

HOW MANY BOYS DIED IN THERE?

HOW MANY KIDS DID YOU SEND
TO THEIR DEATH? TEN? TWENTY?

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU?

NOTHING.

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

- I THINK I KNOW.
- WHAT?

WHO HE IS.

I GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE, PETER.

FRANK, YOUR WIFE'S HERE.

YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO
COME. I WANTED TO BE HERE.

I WANTED TO BE HERE
WITH YOU, FRANK.

I KNOW IT'S WHAT YOU FEAR.

WHAT? LOSING CONTROL.

HAVING SOMETHING LIKE THIS
HAPPEN TO SOMEONE YOU CARE ABOUT.

HE HAD SERIOUS INTERNAL CELLULAR
DAMAGE FROM THE RADIATION.

BUT THE DOCTORS
SAY HE'LL PULL THOUGH.

I KNOW. AND HE WILL.

I KNOW YOU KNOW THIS.

HOW MANY OTHER LIVES
YOU MAY HAVE SAVED.

HOW MANY PEOPLE COULD'VE
BEEN HURT BY THOSE WEAPONS.

I KNOW. YOU DID
WHAT WAS IMPORTANT.

YOU DID WHAT YOU
SET OUT TO DO, FRANK.

YOU CAUGHT THE BAD MAN.

I'M NOT SO SURE.

NOT SURE OF WHAT?

NOT SURE...

NOT SURE IF THE BAD
MAN CAN BE CAUGHT.

I MADE THIS!
