Millennium (1996–1999): Season 1, Episode 3 - Dead Letters - full transcript
The Millennium Group is screening a new candidate, Jim Horn, whom Frank teams up with to investigate the brutal murder of a meter maid. Jim shows promise, but he is also under much of the same stresses that Frank suffered from when he had his nervous breakdown, on top of which Jim's wife has left him and taken their son. Meanwhile, the killer strikes again, slaughtering a postal worker and a nurse, all the while leaving minute messages taunting the authorities. As he tries to prevent another victim from being killed, Frank must also try to keep Jim's growing inability to hold himself together from unraveling the investigation.

["Pop Goes the Weasel"]
[Catherine] AND STOP!
WHERE'S JORDAN? WHERE'S JORDAN?
DADDY?
DADDY?
[Shouting, Laughing]
WHAT'S THE MATTER,
HONEY? I HAD A BAD DREAM.
OH. COME ON.
EVERYBODY HAS BAD DREAMS.
WHY? [Beeping]
[Dogs Barking]
[Hissing]
[Shutter Clicks]
[Man] EVERYTHING'S
BEEN LEFT AS WE FOUND IT.
WE COVERED THE VICTIM, BUT THE
PERPETRATOR COVERED HIS OWN FECAL REMAINS.
HAIR AND FIBER ARE GONNA BE A MESS.
THERE'S TONS OF ANIMAL FUR AROUND.
- WE STARTED DUSTING ALREADY.
- DID YOU FIND A MESSAGE?
ON THE BODY. OR
CUT INTO THE SKIN.
[Door Opens]
THERE ARE THOSE IN THE GROUP WHO BELIEVE
WE SHOULDN'T TAKE THE CASE IN PORTLAND.
SOME ARE UNCONVINCED THE
SUBJECT WILL KILL AGAIN. HE WILL.
OTHERS THINK WE SHOULD WAIT,
APPLYING THE HOLMES CRITERIA...
DEFINING SERIAL KILLERS
INVOLVING THREE VICTIMS...
WITH A TIME PERIOD BETWEEN
MURDERS OF AT LEAST 30 DAYS.
HE WON'T WAIT. HE'LL KILL AGAIN.
TEN DAYS. A WEEK, MAYBE.
FRANK, WITH THE HUNDREDS OF CASES
WE'RE BEING ASKED TO CONSULT ON,
AND ALL THE SMALLER LAW
ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES THAT NEED US,
WHY SHOULD THE GROUP
SEND YOU DOWN THERE?
HE LEFT A MESSAGE.
I'M CERTAIN OF IT.
THERE WAS NO REPORT
OF ANY MESSAGE.
IT'S THERE. I JUST
HAVEN'T FOUND IT.
OKAY. PORTLAND DETECTIVES
CALLED US IN ON THIS.
BUT FOR THEIR CRIME STATS,
THEY'LL WANT TO GET THE CREDIT.
THERE'S A MAN DOWN THERE THAT'S
WORKED WITH PORTLAND P.D., JIM HORN.
WE'RE CONSIDERING
HIM FOR THE GROUP.
HE'S HAD EXTENSIVE BACKGROUND
IN BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE,
AND HIS WORK WAS
DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE...
FOR FINDING THE HIGHWAY
8 KILLER IN SAN DIEGO.
HE'S A REAL GOOD GUY. WORKS OUT
OF AN OFFICE IN DOWNTOWN PORTLAND.
[Recording] WE'RE SORRY. THE
NUMBER YOU HAVE DIALED IS INCORRECT.
PLEASE CHECK THE NUMBER... HOW THE
HELL COULD IT BE INCORRECT? IT'S MY NUMBER.
IF YOU'D LIKE TO SPEAK WITH
A SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE,
ENTER "1" NOW.
[Beeps] ALL OUR
REPRESENTATIVES ARE BUSY.
IF YOU WISH TO HOLD, YOUR CALL WILL BE
ANSWERED IN THE ORDER IT WAS RECEIVED.
THE CURRENT WAITING
PERIOD IS 45 MINUTES. [Knocking]
THAT'S HOW LONG I'VE BEEN
DEALING WITH YOU, YOU MECHANICAL...
JIM HORN?
FRANK BLACK.
WELCOME TO PORTLAND, FRANK.
HEARD GREAT THINGS ABOUT
YOU FROM STEVE CHOLESKI AT I.S.U.
HAVE A SEAT.
- COFFEE?
- THANKS.
I DON'T WANT TO COME
OFF LIKE A JERK, BUT...
I GO BY "JAMES" NOW.
OKAY, JAMES.
THANKS.
IT'S NO BIG THING.
YOU PROFILING ME?
YOU GOT THAT LOOK
LIKE YOU'RE PROFILING ME.
NO, JAMES. JUST
WONDERING WHAT'S WRONG.
[Chuckles]
SORRY.
MY WIFE AND I ARE GOING
THROUGH A SEPARATION, AND, UH...
I HAD TO DISCONNECT THE
FAX LINE OUT AT THE HOUSE,
AND THE PHONE COMPANY... MAN.
THEY CAN MAKE YOU FEEL
LIKE A WORTHLESS ASS.
SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR WIFE.
I SEE YOU HAVE A KID. ME TOO.
THAT'S MY BOY, T.C.
JUST TURNED TWO.
I'VE NEVER BEEN
SEPARATED. I HEAR IT'S ROUGH.
YEAH. THIS WORK...
MAKES THINGS HARD, YOU KNOW?
I'VE BEEN THERE.
UH, JIM PENSEYRES SENT
DOWN THE STUFF LAST NIGHT.
I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND, BUT I
SKETCHED OUT A ROUGH PROFILE.
I'M VERY INTERESTED. JIM TELLS ME YOU
THINK THERE MIGHT BE A TRIGGERING STRESSOR.
I COULDN'T AGREE
MORE. DIVORCE, MAYBE.
HE'S NEVER MARRIED.
NEVER HAD SEX.
YOU GET THAT FROM THERE BEING NO SEXUAL
MUTILATION OR INTERCOURSE WITH THE VICTIM?
IT APPEARS THAT THE
MURDER CREATED A
CHARGED PSYCHOLOGICAL
RELEASE IN THE KILLER,
BUT THE ONLY PHYSIOLOGICAL RELEASE
HE COULD PERFORM WAS DEFECATION.
I READ THOSE REMAINS AS A
SIGNATURE OF HIS HATRED FOR WOMEN.
THE DEFECATION WAS COVERED.
HE WAS EMBARRASSED BY IT.
THEY HAVEN'T IDENTIFIED THE
VICTIM YET, BUT I BELIEVE HE KNEW HER.
WHY'S THAT? THE DUCT TAPE.
HE OBJECTIFIED HER, BUT HE TOOK
THE CARE TO COVER JUST THE FACE,
NOT THE ENTIRE HEAD.
HE WANTED AS MUCH OF HIS
OBSESSION VISIBLE AS POSSIBLE,
BUT HE COULDN'T HAVE
HER LOOKING AT HIM.
COULDN'T HEAR HER FEAR.
THAT'S AN INDICATION OF REMORSE.
IT'S RARE TO HAVE
REMORSE FOR A STRANGER.
I'D EXPECT HIM TO VISIT
THE VICTIM'S GRAVE SITE,
TELL HER HOW BAD HE FEELS.
WELL, I ADMIT I
CAN'T GET A FIX...
ON WHY THE STAGING OF THE
BODY IN THE ANIMAL SHELTER.
THERE COULD BE A
HUNDRED REASONS.
WELL, THAT WILL BE
ANSWERED BY HIS MESSAGE.
YOU MEAN THE MESSAGE IN THE WAY HE
POSED THE VICTIM? CUTTING THE BODY IN TWO?
WELL, HE TAKES SOMETHING FROM THE VICTIMS,
BUT LEAVES SOMETHING OF HIMSELF BEHIND.
- LIKE WHAT?
- HE LEFT A WRITTEN MESSAGE.
THERE WAS NO MESSAGE AT THE
CRIME SCENE OR ON THE VICTIM.
- WE'LL GO FIND IT.
- YOU'RE SURE ABOUT THIS?
- YES, I AM.
- [Sighs]
FRANK, I'M GONNA BE
RIGHT UP FRONT ABOUT THIS.
I'VE HEARD A LOT
ABOUT YOU. A LOT.
AND DON'T GET ME WRONG. I HAVE
THE UTMOST RESPECT FOR YOUR WORK.
BUT I GOTTA TELL YA,
I'M DOUBTFUL ABOUT SOME OF
THE THINGS I'VE HEARD ABOUT YOU.
THAT'S ALL RIGHT, JAMES.
I'VE BEEN THERE TOO.
[Barking]
[James] THE GIRL WAS
KAREN ANDERSON, 21.
PARKING ENFORCEMENT OFFICER. JUST
MOVED UP FROM NORTHERN CALIFORNIA.
NO BOYFRIEND. ATTRACTIVE.
EVERYONE SAYS REAL FRIENDLY.
HER UNIFORM WAS FOUND IN A SANITATION
TRANSFER STATION DOWN IN OREGON CITY.
BLOOD STAINS AND FABRIC
TEARING CONFIRMED...
HE DISMEMBERED HER WHILE SHE
WAS STILL WEARING THE UNIFORM.
THAT MAY HAVE BEEN HOW HE HAD PRIOR CONTACT
WITH HER. SIMPLE. SHE GAVE HIM A TICKET.
WE CAN GO OVER THE PARKING
TICKETS SHE ISSUED IN THE LAST WEEK,
SEE IF ANY OF THE
VIOLATIONS FIT THE SUBJECT.
COME ON, FRANK! WORK WITH ME!
WE'VE GOT EVIDENCE
HERE THAT IS... HERE!
IN HAND!
IF YOU'RE SO FOCUSED ON LOOKING FOR
SOME SPECIFIC MESSAGE THAT ISN'T THERE,
YOU'RE GOING TO OVERLOOK
THE OBVIOUS SIGNATURES.
COME ON, FRANK. YOU GOT A
PROBLEM WITH ME, LET'S HEAR IT.
[Beeping]
[Buzzing]
[Chattering]
DOWN THIS WAY.
TAPE.
[Tape Tearing]
ACETATE.
"HAIR TODAY..."
"HAIR TODAY, GONE TOMORROW."
[James] THESE MESSAGES ARE
A BIG "UP YOURS" TO THE POLICE.
HE DARED US TO FIND IT.
THOUGHT WE'D BE TOO STUPID.
THE GUY DEFINITELY KNEW
WE'D SEARCH FOR HAIR AND FIBER.
A POLICE FREAK.
FEELS SUPERIOR TO US.
MIGHT EVEN BE AN EX-COP.
OLDER.
THE HAIRS ARE GRAY.
BUT IF THIS GUY'S THAT SMART, HE'S
GETTING THE HAIRS FROM ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL.
MAYBE THIS PERSON'S
CONNECTED TO THE TWO WOMEN.
MAYBE THAT'S HOW HE HAD
PRIOR CONTACT WITH THE VICTIMS.
I CAN'T SHAKE THE FEELING
HE'S HAD PRIOR CONTACT, FRANK.
SOMETHING IN MY HEAD, SOMETHING
IN MY SUBCONSCIOUS IS TELLING ME...
WHEN I LOOK AT THE VICTIMS,
WHEN I LOOK AT THEIR FACES,
ALL I CAN SEE...
[Boy] DADDY! DADDY!
- T.C., GET OUT! GET OUT OF HERE!
- [Woman] JIM, STOP IT!
HE COULDN'T WAIT ALL
WEEK TO SEE YOU, AND NOW...
DAMN IT. YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL
ABOUT HIM EVER SEEING THOSE.
THAT'S WHY I TOLD
HIM TO GET OUT!
YOU KNEW I WAS DROPPING HIM OFF.
YOU SHOULD HAVE TAKEN THEM DOWN.
I SAID 4:00. HE WANTED
TO SURPRISE YOU.
LOOK,
IF YOU'RE WORKING AND YOU
CAN'T SPEND SOME TIME WITH HIM...
DON'T START.
OF COURSE I WANT TO SEE
HIM. COME HERE, BUDDY.
I'M REALLY GONNA NEED
YOUR FOCUS ON THIS, JAMES.
LOOK, THIS IS MY
WEEKEND WITH T.C.
BUT I REALIZE THERE
ARE LIVES ON THE LINE.
MAYBE IF YOU GOT AWAY FROM HERE.
MAYBE A STEP BACK WILL HELP
YOU TAKE A STEP FORWARD.
[Woman On TV] THE
SUBJECT IS IN CUSTODY.
MAN, I CAN'T BREATHE.
[TV Chatter Continues] I
CAN FEEL. I CAN SEE THAT...
WHEN FOCUSED, WHEN REMOVED,
HE'S ACTUALLY A VERY GOOD ASSET.
A GOOD MAN TOO.
WHY DON'T YOU TELL HIM?
WHERE HE'S AT RIGHT
NOW, HE'D NEVER HEAR ME.
YOU'RE DIFFERENT PEOPLE, FRANK,
AT DIFFERENT PLACES AND TIMES.
JUST BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T
HEAR ME BACK THEN...
DOESN'T MEAN HE
WON'T HEAR YOU NOW.
MMM.
[T.C.] COME ON, BOY. [Jordan]
HEY, T.C., WANNA USE THIS ONE?
HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR
HAMBURGER, JAMES? MEDIUM? RARE?
JAMES? HMM?
OH, UH, MEDIUM'S FINE, THANKS.
[Children Chattering] THEY
PLAY WELL TOGETHER.
[James] YEAH. IT'S GREAT
TO WATCH 'EM, HUH?
[Chattering Continues]
THEY HAVE NO IDEA...
THE THINGS WE SEE,
THE THINGS WE
KNOW ARE OUT THERE.
I HOPE I'M NOT SCREWIN' HIM UP.
I NEVER EVER DREAMED...
AT THAT PERFECT MOMENT THAT...
MY TIME WITH HIM WOULD
BE REGULATED BY PETITIONS,
ATTORNEY RETAINERS,
ORDERS OF THE COURT.
THAT MOTHER, FATHER AND SON WOULD
BECOME NOTHING BUT A CASE NUMBER.
THAT, AS A FATHER, I RISK
ADDING NOTHING TO HIS LIFE.
I COULD BECOME NOTHING BUT...
A FACE COVERED IN GRAY TAPE.
WHEN I READ DOSTOYEVSKY,
THERE WAS A PASSAGE...
SOMETHING LIKE, THERE
IS NOTHING MORE SAD...
THAN A LIFE THAT ENDS, AND
NO ONE KNOWS OR CARES.
"HAIR TODAY, GONE TOMORROW."
THE SUBJECT IS ANGRY THAT
HIS LIFE WILL GO UNNOTICED,
THAT HE WILL HAVE LEFT NOTHING.
THE HATRED OF HIMSELF IS
DIRECTED TOWARD THE WORLD,
WHICH HAS HELD HIM BACK
BECAUSE IT OBJECTIFIED HIM,
REDUCED HIM, REDUCED US
ALL TO UNIVERSAL BAR CODES.
WE ARE ANIMALS IN
A CAGED SHELTER,
CONTROLLED BY DOGCATCHERS.
THE GRAY TAPE MAKES THE
VICTIMS LOOK LIKE HOW HE FEELS...
FACELESS.
A DEAD LETTER LOST
AT THE POST OFFICE.
HE'S KILLED BEFORE,
WHEN HE WAS YOUNG.
MOST LIKELY, A
FEMALE PROSTITUTE.
AFTER AN EARLY SETBACK...
A GIRLFRIEND, A JOB...
HE SOUGHT OUT A WOMAN
THAT WOULDN'T TURN HIM AWAY.
THE SOLICITATION INCREASED
HIS FEELINGS OF NOTHINGNESS,
AND SO HE KILLED HER BEFORE SEX.
MY GUESS...
HE WAS NEVER CAUGHT.
HE GOT AWAY WITH IT.
THE SUBJECT HAS
FELT GUILT EVER SINCE.
ANGERED AT A WORLD THAT SHOULD
HAVE PUNISHED HIM, BUT DIDN'T.
THE MURDER, HOWEVER, WAS THE
MOST SIGNIFICANT EVENT IN HIS LIFE.
HE'S RETURNED TO THIS
PLACE, TO THE EVENT.
HE WANTS NOTHING
MORE THAN TO BE STOPPED.
BUT HE WILL DO EVERYTHING IN
HIS CONTROL TO REMAIN SIGNIFICANT.
[Frank] "YOU MONKEYS, YOU," HE
SAID, SHAKING HIS FINGER AT THEM.
"GIVE ME BACK MY CAPS."
SO, THE MONKEYS ARE SHAKING THEIR
FINGERS BACK AT THE PEDDLER SAYING,
"TSK, TSK, TSK, TSK,
TSK, TSK." [Laughing]
DADDY, CAN I SLEEP
IN YOUR BED TONIGHT?
NO. YOU'RE HAVING A SLEEPOVER.
- THE MONKEYS WILL GET ME.
- THESE MONKEYS? NAH. NO.
IF I HAVE A BAD DREAM...
IF I HAVE A BAD DREAM.
IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE GONNA
HAVE A BAD DREAM, YOU WILL.
BUT IF YOU THINK YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A
GOOD DREAM, YOU'LL HAVE A GOOD DREAM TOO.
DO YOU KNOW ALL
ABOUT BAD DREAMS?
I KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT BAD
DREAMS TO KEEP THEM FROM YOU...
AND T.C.
SAY YOUR PRAYERS.
WHEN I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP, I
PRAY THE LORD MY SOUL TO KEEP.
IF I SHOULD DIE
BEFORE I WAKE, YEAH.
BOTH YOUR DADDIES NEED 'EM. I
PRAY THE LORD MY SOUL TO TAKE.
I DON'T KNOW, CATHERINE.
MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE T.C.'s BEEN
TAKEN OUT OF MY EVERYDAY LIFE.
OR...
HE'S TWO NOW, AND HE'S
BECOMING A PERSON, YOU KNOW?
BUT I CAN'T...
THESE MURDERERS...
BEFORE, THEY WERE A...
FASCINATING PSYCHOLOGICAL,
SOCIETAL PUZZLE.
MOST I COULD EVEN FEEL SYMPATHY
FOR 'EM, BECAUSE OF THEIR HORRIBLE LIVES.
BUT NOW, WHEN I WALK
INTO A CRIME SCENE,
ALL I SEE IS MY LITTLE BOY'S
FACE SUPERIMPOSED ON THE VICTIM.
AND...
AND THESE KILLERS
CAN'T BE SIMPLY CASES...
OR PSYCHOLOGICAL
ANOMALIES ANYMORE.
THEY'RE JUST...
MONSTERS.
JUST MONSTERS.
[Vehicle Approaching]
- YOU GONNA BE ALL RIGHT?
- YEAH.
MY CAR'S JUST OVER HERE.
GOOD NIGHT.
[Flashlight Clicks]
[Man] HELP!
HELP!
YOU OKAY OVER THERE?
OH... YEAH. IT'S JUST...
MY GLASSES FELL OFF WHEN I TRIED
TO SHUT THE DOOR WITH MY ARMS FULL.
AND I CA...
DON'T WORRY. I-I'LL
FIND THEM. THANK YOU.
[Rustling]
THANK YOU SO MUCH. UH, I...
THEY SHOULD BE NEAR THE DOOR. I
DIDN'T REALLY FEEL THEM FLY TOO FAR OFF.
OH...
HERE THEY ARE.
[Grunts]
[Groaning]
[Duct Tape Tearing]
[Police Radio Chatter]
[Frank] HE'S FEELING
MORE CONFIDENT.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?
HE KILLED THE WOMAN IN THE SAME
LOCATION HE DISPOSED OF THE BODY.
NO. SECURITY GUARD REPORTED
NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY.
CRIME SCENE TEAM FOUND NO
EVIDENCE THE MURDER OCCURRED HERE.
THE BLOOD SPATTER PATTERNS ARE MOVING
AWAY FROM THE SCENE, NOT ARRIVING AT IT.
A MOBILE SLAUGHTERHOUSE.
HE WOULD NEED ROOM TO WORK.
PROBABLY A VAN. MM-HMM.
LEFT LENS. PARTIAL PRINT.
MY GUESS IT'S FROM THE VICTIM.
WE CAN CHECK THE PRESCRIPTION.
NOTIFY OPTOMETRISTS IN THE CITY.
HE'S TOO SMART. HE'D USE ONE OF
THOSE ONE HOUR PLACES OUTSIDE OF TOWN.
A PLACE WHERE HE COULD GO
UNNOTICED. [Footsteps Approaching]
MR. BLACK?
[Police Radio Chatter]
[Radio Chatter Continues]
THAT'S IT?
THIS SON OF A BITCH TOO
BORED WITH OUR PROGRESS?
HE THINKS WE'RE NOT
ENOUGH OF A CHALLENGE?
YOU SHOW YOUR FRUSTRATION IN
FRONT OF THEM, AND HE'S GONNA KNOW.
IT DOES US NO GOOD NOW TO GET
MAD ABOUT WHAT HE THINKS OR WANTS.
WE CAN ONLY USE IT TO FIND HIM.
HE WANTS A CHALLENGE.
LET'S GIVE HIM ONE.
[Shouts]
[Sobs]
CAN'T BELIEVE HE DIDN'T BITE.
STILL MIGHT.
[James] AH, IT'LL BE
LIGHT IN AN HOUR.
HE'LL NEVER DO IT THEN.
I SAY WE GIVE HIM
HIS OPPORTUNITY NOW.
ALL UNITS, THIS IS CHARLIE ONE.
OKAY, WE'RE GOING
TO "DRAIN THE WEASEL."
WHENEVER YOU'RE
READY, ALPHA ONE.
[Man On Radio] I COPY.
ALL UNITS, SUSPECT APPROACHING.
TAKE HIM! [Tires Squealing]
[Sirens Wailing]
- [Grunts]
- WHOA.
ARE YOU A PATIENT HERE?
IF I KNEW YOU WERE THIS STRICT, I WOULDN'T
HAVE LEFT MY ROOM. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
MARJORIE WAS MY NURSE. I JUST
WANTED TO PAY MY RESPECTS.
BUT MY DOCTOR WOULDN'T LET ME.
IT TOOK ME THIS LONG
TO SNEAK OUT. YEAH.
TAKE HIM BACK TO HIS ROOM.
[Man] IT'S OKAY. IT'S OKAY. COME ON.
[Man] THERE'S A PATIENT HERE.
I THOUGHT IT WAS
THE GUY. WE ALL DID.
WHAT IF IT WAS, JAMES?
IS BOUNCING THE SUBJECT'S
HEAD OFF THE HOOD OF THE CAR...
GONNA DO ANYTHING TO CHANGE ALL THE
OTHER MURDERS THAT WILL OCCUR TODAY?
COME ON, FRANK! SOME GUY CUT YOUR
WIFE AND YOUR DAUGHTER INTO EIGHT PIECES,
AND YOU JUST STAND THERE
AND READ HIM HIS RIGHTS?
HE HASN'T KILLED OUR WIVES OR
OUR FAMILIES, AND HE'S NOT GOING TO.
IF YOU MAKE EVERY ONE OF
THESE PERSONAL, YOU'LL GO INSANE.
AND THAT'S FROM HAVING
BEEN THERE, JAMES.
I GET SO FAR INTO THE HEADS
OF THE KILLERS AND THE VICTIMS.
YOU HAVEN'T GOT THERE AT ALL.
DON'T YOU TELL ME WHERE I AM!
YOU PUT THEM IN YOUR HEAD.
I KEEP RELIVING...
WHAT IT'S LIKE
TO BE CUT IN HALF,
OR FOUR OR EIGHT.
THIS ISN'T ABOUT YOU,
JAMES. THE WHOLE THING.
WHAT'S GOIN' ON OUT HERE.
IT'S ABOUT US. ME. YOU.
THE KILLER AND THE VICTIM.
I CAN'T HELP BUT
TAKE THIS PERSONALLY.
ANOTHER PERSON IS
GOING TO DIE, HORRIBLY,
BECAUSE I S... WE SCREWED UP.
I... WE DID ALL
THIS FOR NOTHING.
NO, WE DIDN'T.
WE HANDED OUT 30 PINS FROM THE
HOSPITAL CHARITY TO BE PLACED HERE.
THERE'S 31.
WE WANTED ONE TAKEN,
BUT ONE WAS LEFT.
HE WAS HERE.
THE FLYERS WITH THE SUSPECTS
FITTING OUR PROFILE FROM THE MEMORIAL...
HAVE BEEN DISPATCHED TO OPTOMETRISTS
AND EYEGLASS LABS AROUND THE AREA.
PLUS, A RESIDENT FOUR
BLOCKS FROM THE HOSPITAL...
RECALLS SEEING AN ORANGE VAN DRIVING
AROUND THE AREA THE NIGHT OF THE MEMORIAL.
[Phone Ringing] YEAH.
[Paper Tears] A SALESLADY FROM ONE OF
THOSE EYEGLASS PLACES IN WOODBURN...
RECALLS ONE OF THE SUSPECTS FROM
THE FLYER. WHICH ONE DID SHE RECALL?
- [Woman] THIS GUY.
- ARE YOU SURE?
OH, YEAH. YEAH, I REMEMBER.
HE WAS A TOTAL ASS.
IN WHAT WAY? JUST REAL ATTITUDE.
HE EVEN HAD TROUBLE TAKING
A NUMBER LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.
HE NEEDED ONE LENS REPLACED. THE
LEFT LENS? WELL, THAT I DON'T REMEMBER.
BUT WHAT I DO REMEMBER IS THAT
HE WAS GETTING ALL "WEIRDED" OUT.
"WEIRDED," HOW? I GUESS HIS GLASSES
GOT A LITTLE LOST IN THE SHUFFLE.
SO, I ASKED HIM FOR A
SERVICE SLIP NUMBER.
AND HE GETS ALL SWEATY.
AND HIS EYES GOT REAL WEIRD.
I WENT BACK. I ASKED THE TECHNICIANS.
MAYBE THEY HAD SEEN THEM.
AND I GUESS THEY WERE IN
THE TRAY RIGHT BEHIND ME.
BUT ALL THE TRAYS ARE MARKED
WITH THE CUSTOMER'S NAME ON IT.
AND HE STARTS GOING, "I
HAVE A NAME! I HAVE A NAME!"
PARDON ME, JANICE. COULD
YOU WAIT HERE A MOMENT?
JAMES AND I WILL BE RIGHT BACK.
[Woman Speaking, Indistinct]
YOU WERE RIGHT, JAMES. HE DOES
HAVE PRIOR CONTACT WITH THE VICTIMS.
SHE'S NEXT. THIS NAME
AND ADDRESS ARE FALSE.
PAID IN CASH. BUT WE SHOULD
LOOK FOR THE ORANGE VAN.
I'LL DEVISE A PROACTIVE
STRATEGY WITH PORTLAND P.D.
HANG IN THERE,
JAMES. WE'RE CLOSE.
GIVEN THE SUBJECT'S
PREVIOUS BEHAVIOR,
HE'LL ATTEMPT THE ABDUCTION IN THE
BACK PARKING LOT AFTER OFFICE HOURS.
HE'LL ENTER THE LOT FROM
THE ALLEY PAST THE DUMPSTERS.
WE GOT THAT
ENTRANCE BLOCKED OFF.
ARE ALL THE UNMARKED VEHICLES IN POSITION
AT THE LOT'S OTHER POINTS OF ENTRY?
[Man] AFFIRMATIVE. OKAY.
MS. STERLING USUALLY LEAVES
THE BUILDING AROUND 9:15.
SO, WE GOT ABOUT 20 MINUTES.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT, JANICE?
YEAH. [Frank] YOU'LL
BE SAFE IN HERE.
DETECTIVE JENKINS,
MR. HORN, MYSELF,
WE'LL STAY IN HERE WITH YOU.
AND THERE'S ABOUT 20
OFFICERS OUTSIDE HIDING.
THIS'LL ALL BE OVER IN THE
NEXT HOUR. [James] FRANK, UM...
I'M NOT SURE IT'S SUCH A GOOD
IDEA FOR ME TO BE AROUND.
WHY DON'T YOU BLOW
OUT OF HERE? GO HOME.
I'LL LET YOU KNOW HOW IT WENT.
[Engine Starting]
[Car Horn Honking]
[Whispering] NOTHING HERE.
ACT LIKE YOU FORGOT
SOMETHING AND COME BACK INSIDE.
[Emergency Brake Cranking]
I NEED TO GET BY!
I'VE GOT A FLAT.
CAN YOU HELP ME?
NOTHING.
UNIT 7, ANYTHING
UP IN THE ALLEY?
I'M STUCK. I CAN'T
MOVE. I NEED A JACK.
GOT ONE?
[Man] THIS IS UNIT 7. WE GOT A CAR
WITH A FLAT BLOCKIN' AN ORANGE VAN.
WHAT KIND OF CAR?
GIVE ME A MAKE ON THAT
CAR. IT'S A BLUE TAURUS.
NO, NO. I CAN GET IT. JUST A JACK. I'LL
BE OUT OF YOUR WAY IN FIVE MINUTES.
[Shouting]
[Both Grunting]
JIM, NO! NO!
[Sirens Approaching]
NO!
STOP!
[Officer] NO BACKUP HERE.
[Police Radio Chatter]
[Man] GET AN
AMBULANCE ON THE HORN.
[Man Continues, Indistinct]
[Chattering]
JUST CHECKIN' IN.
I'M BACK TO SEATTLE.
EVERYTHING IN THE
VAN... IS INADMISSIBLE.
THE VICTIMS' POSSESSIONS WERE
FOUND IN THE SUBJECT'S HOUSE.
HAIR AND FIBER. D.N.A. SAMPLES.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY FEELS IT'S
ENOUGH THAT HE WON'T GET AWAY.
I WANTED TO WORK WITH THE GROUP.
AND I KNOW, BECAUSE OF
MY ACTIONS, THAT'S OVER.
BUT... I NEED YOU TO TELL ME.
HELP ME, FRANK.
HOW DO YOU DO THIS?
WHY DO YOU DO IT?
[Child] I MADE THIS!
["Pop Goes the Weasel"]
[Catherine] AND STOP!
WHERE'S JORDAN? WHERE'S JORDAN?
DADDY?
DADDY?
[Shouting, Laughing]
WHAT'S THE MATTER,
HONEY? I HAD A BAD DREAM.
OH. COME ON.
EVERYBODY HAS BAD DREAMS.
WHY? [Beeping]
[Dogs Barking]
[Hissing]
[Shutter Clicks]
[Man] EVERYTHING'S
BEEN LEFT AS WE FOUND IT.
WE COVERED THE VICTIM, BUT THE
PERPETRATOR COVERED HIS OWN FECAL REMAINS.
HAIR AND FIBER ARE GONNA BE A MESS.
THERE'S TONS OF ANIMAL FUR AROUND.
- WE STARTED DUSTING ALREADY.
- DID YOU FIND A MESSAGE?
ON THE BODY. OR
CUT INTO THE SKIN.
[Door Opens]
THERE ARE THOSE IN THE GROUP WHO BELIEVE

ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES THAT NEED US,
WHY SHOULD THE GROUP

IT'S THERE. I JUST
HAVEN'T FOUND IT.
OKAY. PORTLAND DETECTIVES
CALLED US IN ON THIS.
BUT FOR THEIR CRIME STATS,

THERE'S A MAN DOWN THERE THAT'S

HE'S HAD EXTENSIVE BACKGROUND

[Chuckles]

MY WIFE AND I ARE GOING
THROUGH A SEPARATION, AND, UH...
I HAD TO DISCONNECT THE
FAX LINE OUT AT THE HOUSE,
AND THE PHONE COMPANY... MAN.
THEY CAN MAKE YOU FEEL
LIKE A WORTHLESS ASS.
SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR WIFE.
I SEE YOU HAVE A KID. ME TOO.
THAT'S MY BOY, T.C.
JUST TURNED TWO.
I'VE NEVER BEEN
SEPARATED. I HEAR IT'S ROUGH.
YEAH. THIS WORK...
MAKES THINGS HARD, YOU KNOW?
I'VE BEEN THERE.
UH, JIM PENSEYRES SENT
DOWN THE STUFF LAST NIGHT.
I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND, BUT I
SKETCHED OUT A ROUGH PROFILE.
I'M VERY INTERESTED. JIM TELLS ME YOU
THINK THERE MIGHT BE A TRIGGERING STRESSOR.
I COULDN'T AGREE
MORE. DIVORCE, MAYBE.
HE'S NEVER MARRIED.
NEVER HAD SEX.
YOU GET THAT FROM THERE BEING NO SEXUAL

THAT'S AN INDICATION OF REMORSE.
IT'S RARE TO HAVE
REMORSE FOR A STRANGER.
I'D EXPECT HIM TO VISIT
THE VICTIM'S GRAVE SITE,
TELL HER HOW BAD HE FEELS.
WELL, I ADMIT I
CAN'T GET A FIX...
ON WHY THE STAGING OF THE
BODY IN THE ANIMAL SHELTER.
THERE COULD BE A
HUNDRED REASONS.
WELL, THAT WILL BE
ANSWERED BY HIS MESSAGE.

THE UTMOST RESPECT FOR YOUR WORK.
BUT I GOTTA TELL YA,
I'M DOUBTFUL ABOUT SOME OF
THE THINGS I'VE HEARD ABOUT YOU.
THAT'S ALL RIGHT, JAMES.
I'VE BEEN THERE TOO.
[Barking]
[James] THE GIRL WAS
KAREN ANDERSON, 21.
PARKING ENFORCEMENT OFFICER. JUST
MOVED UP FROM NORTHERN CALIFORNIA.
NO BOYFRIEND. ATTRACTIVE.
EVERYONE SAYS REAL FRIENDLY.
HER UNIFORM WAS FOUND IN A SANITATION
TRANSFER STATION DOWN IN OREGON CITY.
BLOOD STAINS AND FABRIC
TEARING CONFIRMED...
HE DISMEMBERED HER WHILE SHE
WAS STILL WEARING THE UNIFORM.
THAT MAY HAVE BEEN HOW HE HAD PRIOR CONTACT
WITH HER. SIMPLE. SHE GAVE HIM A TICKET.
WE CAN GO OVER THE PARKING
TICKETS SHE ISSUED IN THE LAST WEEK,
SEE IF ANY OF THE
VIOLATIONS FIT THE SUBJECT.
COME ON, FRANK! WORK WITH ME!
WE'VE GOT EVIDENCE
HERE THAT IS... HERE!
IN HAND!
IF YOU'RE SO FOCUSED ON LOOKING FOR
SOME SPECIFIC MESSAGE THAT ISN'T THERE,
YOU'RE GOING TO OVERLOOK
THE OBVIOUS SIGNATURES.
COME ON, FRANK. YOU GOT A
PROBLEM WITH ME, LET'S HEAR IT.
[Beeping]
[Buzzing]
[Chattering]
DOWN THIS WAY.
TAPE.
[Tape Tearing]
ACETATE.
"HAIR TODAY..."
"HAIR TODAY, GONE TOMORROW."
[James] THESE MESSAGES ARE
A BIG "UP YOURS" TO THE POLICE.
HE DARED US TO FIND IT.
THOUGHT WE'D BE TOO STUPID.
THE GUY DEFINITELY KNEW
WE'D SEARCH FOR HAIR AND FIBER.
A POLICE FREAK.
FEELS SUPERIOR TO US.
MIGHT EVEN BE AN EX-COP.
OLDER.
THE HAIRS ARE GRAY.
BUT IF THIS GUY'S THAT SMART, HE'S
GETTING THE HAIRS FROM ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL.
MAYBE THIS PERSON'S
CONNECTED TO THE TWO WOMEN.
MAYBE THAT'S HOW HE HAD
PRIOR CONTACT WITH THE VICTIMS.
I CAN'T SHAKE THE FEELING
HE'S HAD PRIOR CONTACT, FRANK.
SOMETHING IN MY HEAD, SOMETHING
IN MY SUBCONSCIOUS IS TELLING ME...
WHEN I LOOK AT THE VICTIMS,
WHEN I LOOK AT THEIR FACES,
ALL I CAN SEE...
[Boy] DADDY! DADDY!
- T.C., GET OUT! GET OUT OF HERE!
- [Woman] JIM, STOP IT!
HE COULDN'T WAIT ALL
WEEK TO SEE YOU, AND NOW...
DAMN IT. YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL
ABOUT HIM EVER SEEING THOSE.
THAT'S WHY I TOLD
HIM TO GET OUT!
YOU KNEW I WAS DROPPING HIM OFF.
YOU SHOULD HAVE TAKEN THEM DOWN.
I SAID 4:00. HE WANTED
TO SURPRISE YOU.
LOOK,
IF YOU'RE WORKING AND YOU
CAN'T SPEND SOME TIME WITH HIM...
DON'T START.
OF COURSE I WANT TO SEE
HIM. COME HERE, BUDDY.
I'M REALLY GONNA NEED
YOUR FOCUS ON THIS, JAMES.
LOOK, THIS IS MY
WEEKEND WITH T.C.
BUT I REALIZE THERE
ARE LIVES ON THE LINE.
MAYBE IF YOU GOT AWAY FROM HERE.
MAYBE A STEP BACK WILL HELP
YOU TAKE A STEP FORWARD.
[Woman On TV] THE
SUBJECT IS IN CUSTODY.
MAN, I CAN'T BREATHE.
[TV Chatter Continues] I
CAN FEEL. I CAN SEE THAT...
WHEN FOCUSED, WHEN REMOVED,
HE'S ACTUALLY A VERY GOOD ASSET.
A GOOD MAN TOO.
WHY DON'T YOU TELL HIM?
WHERE HE'S AT RIGHT
NOW, HE'D NEVER HEAR ME.
YOU'RE DIFFERENT PEOPLE, FRANK,
AT DIFFERENT PLACES AND TIMES.
JUST BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T
HEAR ME BACK THEN...
DOESN'T MEAN HE
WON'T HEAR YOU NOW.
MMM.
[T.C.] COME ON, BOY. [Jordan]
HEY, T.C., WANNA USE THIS ONE?
HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR
HAMBURGER, JAMES? MEDIUM? RARE?
JAMES? HMM?
OH, UH, MEDIUM'S FINE, THANKS.
[Children Chattering] THEY
PLAY WELL TOGETHER.
[James] YEAH. IT'S GREAT
TO WATCH 'EM, HUH?
[Chattering Continues]
THEY HAVE NO IDEA...
THE THINGS WE SEE,
THE THINGS WE
KNOW ARE OUT THERE.
I HOPE I'M NOT SCREWIN' HIM UP.
I NEVER EVER DREAMED...
AT THAT PERFECT MOMENT THAT...
MY TIME WITH HIM WOULD
BE REGULATED BY PETITIONS,
ATTORNEY RETAINERS,
ORDERS OF THE COURT.
THAT MOTHER, FATHER AND SON WOULD
BECOME NOTHING BUT A CASE NUMBER.
THAT, AS A FATHER, I RISK
ADDING NOTHING TO HIS LIFE.
I COULD BECOME NOTHING BUT...
A FACE COVERED IN GRAY TAPE.
WHEN I READ DOSTOYEVSKY,
THERE WAS A PASSAGE...
SOMETHING LIKE, THERE
IS NOTHING MORE SAD...
THAN A LIFE THAT ENDS, AND
NO ONE KNOWS OR CARES.
"HAIR TODAY, GONE TOMORROW."
THE SUBJECT IS ANGRY THAT
HIS LIFE WILL GO UNNOTICED,
THAT HE WILL HAVE LEFT NOTHING.
THE HATRED OF HIMSELF IS
DIRECTED TOWARD THE WORLD,
WHICH HAS HELD HIM BACK
BECAUSE IT OBJECTIFIED HIM,
REDUCED HIM, REDUCED US
ALL TO UNIVERSAL BAR CODES.
WE ARE ANIMALS IN
A CAGED SHELTER,
CONTROLLED BY DOGCATCHERS.
THE GRAY TAPE MAKES THE
VICTIMS LOOK LIKE HOW HE FEELS...
FACELESS.
A DEAD LETTER LOST
AT THE POST OFFICE.
HE'S KILLED BEFORE,
WHEN HE WAS YOUNG.
MOST LIKELY, A
FEMALE PROSTITUTE.
AFTER AN EARLY SETBACK...
A GIRLFRIEND, A JOB...
HE SOUGHT OUT A WOMAN
THAT WOULDN'T TURN HIM AWAY.
THE SOLICITATION INCREASED
HIS FEELINGS OF NOTHINGNESS,
AND SO HE KILLED HER BEFORE SEX.
MY GUESS...
HE WAS NEVER CAUGHT.
HE GOT AWAY WITH IT.
THE SUBJECT HAS
FELT GUILT EVER SINCE.
ANGERED AT A WORLD THAT SHOULD
HAVE PUNISHED HIM, BUT DIDN'T.
THE MURDER, HOWEVER, WAS THE
MOST SIGNIFICANT EVENT IN HIS LIFE.
HE'S RETURNED TO THIS
PLACE, TO THE EVENT.
HE WANTS NOTHING
MORE THAN TO BE STOPPED.
BUT HE WILL DO EVERYTHING IN
HIS CONTROL TO REMAIN SIGNIFICANT.
[Frank] "YOU MONKEYS, YOU," HE
SAID, SHAKING HIS FINGER AT THEM.
"GIVE ME BACK MY CAPS."
SO, THE MONKEYS ARE SHAKING THEIR
FINGERS BACK AT THE PEDDLER SAYING,
"TSK, TSK, TSK, TSK,
TSK, TSK." [Laughing]
DADDY, CAN I SLEEP
IN YOUR BED TONIGHT?
NO. YOU'RE HAVING A SLEEPOVER.
- THE MONKEYS WILL GET ME.
- THESE MONKEYS? NAH. NO.
IF I HAVE A BAD DREAM...
IF I HAVE A BAD DREAM.
IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE GONNA
HAVE A BAD DREAM, YOU WILL.
BUT IF YOU THINK YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A
GOOD DREAM, YOU'LL HAVE A GOOD DREAM TOO.
DO YOU KNOW ALL
ABOUT BAD DREAMS?
I KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT BAD
DREAMS TO KEEP THEM FROM YOU...
AND T.C.
SAY YOUR PRAYERS.
WHEN I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP, I
PRAY THE LORD MY SOUL TO KEEP.
IF I SHOULD DIE
BEFORE I WAKE, YEAH.
BOTH YOUR DADDIES NEED 'EM. I
PRAY THE LORD MY SOUL TO TAKE.
I DON'T KNOW, CATHERINE.
MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE T.C.'s BEEN
TAKEN OUT OF MY EVERYDAY LIFE.
OR...
HE'S TWO NOW, AND HE'S
BECOMING A PERSON, YOU KNOW?
BUT I CAN'T...
THESE MURDERERS...
BEFORE, THEY WERE A...
FASCINATING PSYCHOLOGICAL,
SOCIETAL PUZZLE.
MOST I COULD EVEN FEEL SYMPATHY
FOR 'EM, BECAUSE OF THEIR HORRIBLE LIVES.
BUT NOW, WHEN I WALK
INTO A CRIME SCENE,
ALL I SEE IS MY LITTLE BOY'S
FACE SUPERIMPOSED ON THE VICTIM.
AND...
AND THESE KILLERS
CAN'T BE SIMPLY CASES...
OR PSYCHOLOGICAL
ANOMALIES ANYMORE.
THEY'RE JUST...
MONSTERS.
JUST MONSTERS.
[Vehicle Approaching]
- YOU GONNA BE ALL RIGHT?
- YEAH.
MY CAR'S JUST OVER HERE.
GOOD NIGHT.
[Flashlight Clicks]
[Man] HELP!
HELP!
YOU OKAY OVER THERE?
OH... YEAH. IT'S JUST...
MY GLASSES FELL OFF WHEN I TRIED
TO SHUT THE DOOR WITH MY ARMS FULL.
AND I CA...
DON'T WORRY. I-I'LL
FIND THEM. THANK YOU.
[Rustling]
THANK YOU SO MUCH. UH, I...
THEY SHOULD BE NEAR THE DOOR. I
DIDN'T REALLY FEEL THEM FLY TOO FAR OFF.
OH...
HERE THEY ARE.
[Grunts]
[Groaning]
[Duct Tape Tearing]
[Police Radio Chatter]
[Frank] HE'S FEELING
MORE CONFIDENT.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?
HE KILLED THE WOMAN IN THE SAME
LOCATION HE DISPOSED OF THE BODY.
NO. SECURITY GUARD REPORTED
NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY.
CRIME SCENE TEAM FOUND NO
EVIDENCE THE MURDER OCCURRED HERE.
THE BLOOD SPATTER PATTERNS ARE MOVING
AWAY FROM THE SCENE, NOT ARRIVING AT IT.
A MOBILE SLAUGHTERHOUSE.
HE WOULD NEED ROOM TO WORK.
PROBABLY A VAN. MM-HMM.
LEFT LENS. PARTIAL PRINT.
MY GUESS IT'S FROM THE VICTIM.
WE CAN CHECK THE PRESCRIPTION.
NOTIFY OPTOMETRISTS IN THE CITY.
HE'S TOO SMART. HE'D USE ONE OF
THOSE ONE HOUR PLACES OUTSIDE OF TOWN.
A PLACE WHERE HE COULD GO
UNNOTICED. [Footsteps Approaching]
MR. BLACK?
[Police Radio Chatter]
[Radio Chatter Continues]
THAT'S IT?
THIS SON OF A BITCH TOO
BORED WITH OUR PROGRESS?
HE THINKS WE'RE NOT
ENOUGH OF A CHALLENGE?
YOU SHOW YOUR FRUSTRATION IN
FRONT OF THEM, AND HE'S GONNA KNOW.
IT DOES US NO GOOD NOW TO GET
MAD ABOUT WHAT HE THINKS OR WANTS.
WE CAN ONLY USE IT TO FIND HIM.
HE WANTS A CHALLENGE.
LET'S GIVE HIM ONE.
[Shouts]
[Sobs]
CAN'T BELIEVE HE DIDN'T BITE.
STILL MIGHT.
[James] AH, IT'LL BE
LIGHT IN AN HOUR.
HE'LL NEVER DO IT THEN.
I SAY WE GIVE HIM
HIS OPPORTUNITY NOW.
ALL UNITS, THIS IS CHARLIE ONE.
OKAY, WE'RE GOING
TO "DRAIN THE WEASEL."
WHENEVER YOU'RE
READY, ALPHA ONE.
[Man On Radio] I COPY.
ALL UNITS, SUSPECT APPROACHING.
TAKE HIM! [Tires Squealing]
[Sirens Wailing]
- [Grunts]
- WHOA.
ARE YOU A PATIENT HERE?
IF I KNEW YOU WERE THIS STRICT, I WOULDN'T
HAVE LEFT MY ROOM. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
MARJORIE WAS MY NURSE. I JUST
WANTED TO PAY MY RESPECTS.
BUT MY DOCTOR WOULDN'T LET ME.
IT TOOK ME THIS LONG
TO SNEAK OUT. YEAH.
TAKE HIM BACK TO HIS ROOM.
[Man] IT'S OKAY. IT'S OKAY. COME ON.
[Man] THERE'S A PATIENT HERE.
I THOUGHT IT WAS
THE GUY. WE ALL DID.
WHAT IF IT WAS, JAMES?
IS BOUNCING THE SUBJECT'S
HEAD OFF THE HOOD OF THE CAR...
GONNA DO ANYTHING TO CHANGE ALL THE
OTHER MURDERS THAT WILL OCCUR TODAY?
COME ON, FRANK! SOME GUY CUT YOUR
WIFE AND YOUR DAUGHTER INTO EIGHT PIECES,
AND YOU JUST STAND THERE
AND READ HIM HIS RIGHTS?
HE HASN'T KILLED OUR WIVES OR
OUR FAMILIES, AND HE'S NOT GOING TO.
IF YOU MAKE EVERY ONE OF
THESE PERSONAL, YOU'LL GO INSANE.
AND THAT'S FROM HAVING
BEEN THERE, JAMES.
I GET SO FAR INTO THE HEADS
OF THE KILLERS AND THE VICTIMS.
YOU HAVEN'T GOT THERE AT ALL.
DON'T YOU TELL ME WHERE I AM!
YOU PUT THEM IN YOUR HEAD.
I KEEP RELIVING...
WHAT IT'S LIKE
TO BE CUT IN HALF,
OR FOUR OR EIGHT.
THIS ISN'T ABOUT YOU,
JAMES. THE WHOLE THING.
WHAT'S GOIN' ON OUT HERE.
IT'S ABOUT US. ME. YOU.
THE KILLER AND THE VICTIM.
I CAN'T HELP BUT
TAKE THIS PERSONALLY.
ANOTHER PERSON IS
GOING TO DIE, HORRIBLY,
BECAUSE I S... WE SCREWED UP.
I... WE DID ALL
THIS FOR NOTHING.
NO, WE DIDN'T.
WE HANDED OUT 30 PINS FROM THE
HOSPITAL CHARITY TO BE PLACED HERE.
THERE'S 31.
WE WANTED ONE TAKEN,
BUT ONE WAS LEFT.
HE WAS HERE.
THE FLYERS WITH THE SUSPECTS
FITTING OUR PROFILE FROM THE MEMORIAL...
HAVE BEEN DISPATCHED TO OPTOMETRISTS
AND EYEGLASS LABS AROUND THE AREA.
PLUS, A RESIDENT FOUR
BLOCKS FROM THE HOSPITAL...
RECALLS SEEING AN ORANGE VAN DRIVING
AROUND THE AREA THE NIGHT OF THE MEMORIAL.
[Phone Ringing] YEAH.
[Paper Tears] A SALESLADY FROM ONE OF
THOSE EYEGLASS PLACES IN WOODBURN...
RECALLS ONE OF THE SUSPECTS FROM
THE FLYER. WHICH ONE DID SHE RECALL?
- [Woman] THIS GUY.
- ARE YOU SURE?
OH, YEAH. YEAH, I REMEMBER.
HE WAS A TOTAL ASS.
IN WHAT WAY? JUST REAL ATTITUDE.
HE EVEN HAD TROUBLE TAKING
A NUMBER LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.
HE NEEDED ONE LENS REPLACED. THE
LEFT LENS? WELL, THAT I DON'T REMEMBER.
BUT WHAT I DO REMEMBER IS THAT
HE WAS GETTING ALL "WEIRDED" OUT.
"WEIRDED," HOW? I GUESS HIS GLASSES
GOT A LITTLE LOST IN THE SHUFFLE.
SO, I ASKED HIM FOR A
SERVICE SLIP NUMBER.
AND HE GETS ALL SWEATY.
AND HIS EYES GOT REAL WEIRD.
I WENT BACK. I ASKED THE TECHNICIANS.
MAYBE THEY HAD SEEN THEM.
AND I GUESS THEY WERE IN
THE TRAY RIGHT BEHIND ME.
BUT ALL THE TRAYS ARE MARKED
WITH THE CUSTOMER'S NAME ON IT.
AND HE STARTS GOING, "I
HAVE A NAME! I HAVE A NAME!"
PARDON ME, JANICE. COULD
YOU WAIT HERE A MOMENT?
JAMES AND I WILL BE RIGHT BACK.
[Woman Speaking, Indistinct]
YOU WERE RIGHT, JAMES. HE DOES
HAVE PRIOR CONTACT WITH THE VICTIMS.
SHE'S NEXT. THIS NAME
AND ADDRESS ARE FALSE.
PAID IN CASH. BUT WE SHOULD
LOOK FOR THE ORANGE VAN.
I'LL DEVISE A PROACTIVE
STRATEGY WITH PORTLAND P.D.
HANG IN THERE,
JAMES. WE'RE CLOSE.
GIVEN THE SUBJECT'S
PREVIOUS BEHAVIOR,
HE'LL ATTEMPT THE ABDUCTION IN THE
BACK PARKING LOT AFTER OFFICE HOURS.
HE'LL ENTER THE LOT FROM
THE ALLEY PAST THE DUMPSTERS.
WE GOT THAT
ENTRANCE BLOCKED OFF.
ARE ALL THE UNMARKED VEHICLES IN POSITION
AT THE LOT'S OTHER POINTS OF ENTRY?
[Man] AFFIRMATIVE. OKAY.
MS. STERLING USUALLY LEAVES
THE BUILDING AROUND 9:15.
SO, WE GOT ABOUT 20 MINUTES.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT, JANICE?
YEAH. [Frank] YOU'LL
BE SAFE IN HERE.
DETECTIVE JENKINS,
MR. HORN, MYSELF,
WE'LL STAY IN HERE WITH YOU.
AND THERE'S ABOUT 20
OFFICERS OUTSIDE HIDING.
THIS'LL ALL BE OVER IN THE
NEXT HOUR. [James] FRANK, UM...
I'M NOT SURE IT'S SUCH A GOOD
IDEA FOR ME TO BE AROUND.
WHY DON'T YOU BLOW
OUT OF HERE? GO HOME.
I'LL LET YOU KNOW HOW IT WENT.
[Engine Starting]
[Car Horn Honking]
[Whispering] NOTHING HERE.
ACT LIKE YOU FORGOT
SOMETHING AND COME BACK INSIDE.
[Emergency Brake Cranking]
I NEED TO GET BY!
I'VE GOT A FLAT.
CAN YOU HELP ME?
NOTHING.
UNIT 7, ANYTHING
UP IN THE ALLEY?
I'M STUCK. I CAN'T
MOVE. I NEED A JACK.
GOT ONE?
[Man] THIS IS UNIT 7. WE GOT A CAR
WITH A FLAT BLOCKIN' AN ORANGE VAN.
WHAT KIND OF CAR?
GIVE ME A MAKE ON THAT
CAR. IT'S A BLUE TAURUS.
NO, NO. I CAN GET IT. JUST A JACK. I'LL
BE OUT OF YOUR WAY IN FIVE MINUTES.
[Shouting]
[Both Grunting]
JIM, NO! NO!
[Sirens Approaching]
NO!
STOP!
[Officer] NO BACKUP HERE.
[Police Radio Chatter]
[Man] GET AN
AMBULANCE ON THE HORN.
[Man Continues, Indistinct]
[Chattering]
JUST CHECKIN' IN.
I'M BACK TO SEATTLE.
EVERYTHING IN THE
VAN... IS INADMISSIBLE.
THE VICTIMS' POSSESSIONS WERE
FOUND IN THE SUBJECT'S HOUSE.
HAIR AND FIBER. D.N.A. SAMPLES.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY FEELS IT'S
ENOUGH THAT HE WON'T GET AWAY.
I WANTED TO WORK WITH THE GROUP.
AND I KNOW, BECAUSE OF
MY ACTIONS, THAT'S OVER.
BUT... I NEED YOU TO TELL ME.
HELP ME, FRANK.
HOW DO YOU DO THIS?
WHY DO YOU DO IT?
[Child] I MADE THIS!
