♪♪

OH, CRAP.

DAMN!

♪♪

IS SOMETHING WRONG?

♪♪

EIGHT, SEVEN, SIX,
FIVE, FOUR, THREE.

BO?

HE'S BACK! BO! WHAT YOU GOT, BO?

COME ON, BOY!



KEEP AWAY FROM HIM
WHEN HE'S ACTING LIKE THAT.

YEAH, BO, WHAT YOU GOT THERE?

YOU EVER IMAGINE YOU'D BE
COMING BACK HERE AS AN F.B.I. AGENT?

MILITARY DAD. WE MOVED
JUST ABOUT EVERY YEAR.

MY BASIC ASSUMPTION WAS I'D
NEVER COME BACK HERE AT ALL.

AH. THAT'S IT.

- THAT WAS OUR HOUSE.
- YOU WANNA STOP?

NO. NO.

I THINK THAT WAS THE PERFECT
AMOUNT OF NOSTALGIA FOR ME.

ACTUALLY, THAT'S NOT TRUE.

I LIKED THIS
PLACE. I REALLY DID.

SO DID MY SISTER MELISSA.

THAT WAS BEFORE, YOU KNOW,
WHEN SHE WAS STILL ALIVE.

YEAH.



IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE LITTLE
TOMMY BRIGGS IS SHERIFF HERE NOW.

YOU WERE FRIENDS? I
THINK HE HAD A CRUSH ON ME.

HE BROKE TWO OF MY FINGERS.

WELL, WE HAVEN'T
SPOKEN SINCE THIRD GRADE,

AND NOW IT'S ABOUT THIS.

YEAH.

SO, WHO IS SHE?

WE DON'T KNOW YET. THAT'S THE WHOLE
REASON I SENT THAT FOOT TO THE BUREAU.

I DIDN'T NEED A VISIT,
NECESSARILY. JUST AN I.D.

WE DIDN'T FEEL IT'D
BE WISE TO WAIT.

THE SLIT SCRATCH MARKINGS ON THE TIBIA
INDICATE THE AMPUTATION WAS POSTMORTEM.

THIS COMPRESSION BRUISE AND PUNCTURE
WOUND OCCURRED BEFORE DEATH...

FROM SOME KIND
OF METAL RESTRAINT.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

HIGHLY EVOLVED RITUAL. IN ALL
LIKELIHOOD, HE'S KILLED BEFORE.

IN HIS THIRTIES. INTELLIGENT.

HE'S EMPLOYED AND A LOCAL.

WHOA. WAIT. YOU SAY
HE'S DONE THIS BEFORE,

BUT WE'VE NEVER HAD
ANYTHING LIKE THIS.

NOTHING. HOW DO YOU KNOW THE FOOT
DIDN'T FALL OFF SOME PASSING TRUCK?

WELL, IT WAS BURIED SHALLOW
ENOUGH FOR A DOG TO DIG UP.

IN OUR EXPERIENCE, THAT MEANS THAT
THE OFFENDER KNEW THE AREA WELL.

EXPERIENCE? YOU
SEE A LOT OF THIS?

THE DECEASED WAS
FEMALE, 16 TO 23.

CAUCASIAN, FIVE-FIVE TO FIVE-EIGHT.
AVERAGE WEIGHT. TYPE O-POSITIVE BLOOD.

MARIJUANA TRACES WERE
FOUND IN TISSUE SAMPLES.

THE TATTOO ON HER
ANKLE MAY BE THE GATOR,

MASCOT OF EVERGLADES UNIVERSITY.

IT'S LESS THAN A MONTH
OLD. SHE WAS COLLEGE AGE,

SO WE'RE POLLING TATTOO
PARLORS NEAR THAT CAMPUS.

SO WHAT DO WE DO
IN THE MEANTIME?

WE EXTRACTED A FINITE AMOUNT OF
SAND FROM UNDER ONE OF THE TOENAILS.

IT WAS A MIXTURE OF COMMERCIALLY
QUARRIED SAND AND RIVER SEDIMENT.

SOUNDS LIKE ALAHELA STATE PARK.

EMMA, THIS IS JERRY
NEILSON. HE RUNS THE PLACE.

IF YOU'VE GOT QUESTIONS,
HE'LL HAVE THE ANSWERS.

JERRY, THIS IS EMMA
HOLLIS AND FRANK BLACK.

- HEY.
- I'M HAVING A HARD TIME WITH
WHAT TOM'S TELLING ME HERE.

WE'LL NEED ANY
RECORDS YOU MAY HAVE...

PEOPLE WHO HAVE PAID
PARKING FEES, ADMISSIONS.

THE PROBLEM IS IS THAT
WE DON'T EVEN OFFICIALLY

OPEN UNTIL MEMORIAL
DAY, SO I GOT NOTHING.

THE VICTIM WAS
PROBABLY BY HERSELF.

THE OFFENDER MAY HAVE
APPROACHED HER HERE.

WELL, IT'S A VERY POPULAR PLACE.

I WANT THIS PLACE CORDONED OFF.

WHAT FOR? HE WATCHED
HER FROM HERE.

BECAME AROUSED.
THERE'S GENETIC EVIDENCE.

I LEARNED TO SWIM HERE.

THE F.B.I. TOLD ME, BUT I
DIDN'T BELIEVE 'EM. WHAT?

THAT YOU'D AMAZE ME...
YOU AND YOUR PARTNER.

I HAVE TO SAY I DON'T LIKE
WHAT I'M HEARING, THOUGH.

WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD.

IT'S NOT THE REAL WORLD.

NOT AROUND HERE, IT ISN'T.

EMMA, LOOK AT THIS.

A NEW LISTING IN
MISSING PERSONS.

"JAN McCALL, AGE 20.

"RETURNING TO EVERGLADES
UNIVERSITY AFTER EASTER VACATION...

IN MICHIGAN WITH THE FAMILY."

ALLIGATOR MASCOT
TATTOO, LEFT ANKLE."

DAMN.

"DRIVING A RED 1975 DATSUN 280Z,

MICHIGAN LICENSE 879 GMH."

FOUND ABANDONED AT
DEWEY'S MARKET TEN DAYS AGO.

IT CAME IN LATE LAST WEEK.
LOCAL EXPIRED PLATES.

DIDN'T MATCH THE VIN.

WAS IT IN THIS CONDITION?

WELL, ACTUALLY, WE SOLD
THE BATTERY, THE RADIO,

TOOK THE SEATS
OUT... THE USUAL STUFF.

YOU NEED TO CHECK EVERY CAR IN THIS
YARD, LOOKING BACK HOWEVER MANY YEARS,

TRYING TO FIND MISMATCHES BETWEEN
LICENSE PLATES AND I.D. NUMBERS.

WHY? BECAUSE
THERE MAY BE OTHERS.

IT'S NOT A SEX OFFENDER. BUT
IT HAS TO BE LAW ENFORCEMENT.

THERE.

YOU GOT SOMETHING? YEAH.

- JERRY!
- I'M SURE WE'RE GONNA GET
A MATCH OF THE STAINS...

AT THE LIFEGUARD
STATION AS WELL.

YEAH? WELL, I'M NOT SO SURE.
SOUNDS NOTHING LIKE HIM.

AND IF YOU'RE SAYING HE KILLED THAT
GIRL, YOU'RE BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE.

BELIEVE ME, I KNOW THE GUY.

YEAH, I SAW HER
DOWN AT THE LAKE.

SHE, UM, HEADED OFF
SOUTH SOMEWHERE.

YOUR FINGERPRINTS WERE
ON HER CAR DOOR, JERRY.

UH, THAT'S WHAT THIS IS
ABOUT? SHE'S THE ONE?

- WHAT DID THEY TELL YOU?
- THAT I'M A SUSPECT. THAT
THEY WANNA SEARCH MY HOUSE.

AND I'VE GOT NOTHING
TO HIDE, SO I SAID FINE.

I SAW HER DRINKING
BEER DOWN AT THE BEACH,

AND I WANTED TO MAKE SURE
THAT SHE COULD STILL DRIVE.

SO I WENT UP TO TALK TO
HER WHEN SHE WENT TO LEAVE.

NOW, THIS IS CRAZY, TOM.

HEY, I WANT IT NOTED THAT I'M ALLOWING
YOU TO SEARCH MY HOUSE VOLUNTARILY!

- IT'S NOTED.
- AND I WANT AN APOLOGY
WHEN THIS WHOLE THING IS OVER.

THIS IS COMPLETE B.S.!

HE TALKED TO THE GIRL AT HER CAR. THAT'S
WHY HIS FINGERPRINTS ARE ON THE DOOR.

OH, THAT'S WHAT HE SAYS. YOU
SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING?

YOU COME BUSTING IN HERE MAKING
ALLEGATIONS BASED ON NOTHING.

IT'S NOT NOTHING. YOU'RE
RUINING A MAN HERE.

HE'S FINISHED WHETHER
YOU FIND SOMETHING OR NOT.

WE'LL FIND SOMETHING.

YOU BETTER BE RIGHT.

HOLLIS.

FOUR? BEGINNING WHEN?

UH-HUH. SEND THE PHOTOS TO US.

THANK YOU.

MY OFFICE MATCHED FOUR CARS IN
THE WRECKING YARD TO MISSING WOMEN.

ALL IN THEIR TWENTIES,
ALL FROM OUT OF STATE.

FOUR? YEAH. OVER
THE PAST SIX YEARS.

HE'D NEVER GET AWAY WITH THAT MANY
LOCALS, SO HE PREYED ON OUTSIDERS.

YOU DON'T KNOW THIS GUY. IT'S
JUST... IT'S JUST NOT POSSIBLE.

THE BEDROOM'S CLEAN. THERE'S
NOTHING ANYWHERE IN THE HOUSE.

CHECK OUTSIDE.

SO, WHAT'D YOU FIND?

- NOTHING.
- NOTHING, JUST LIKE I SAID.

WE'D LIKE YOU TO COME
DOWN TO THE STATION WITH US.

BECAUSE YOU FOUND
NOTHING, SO NOW I'M GUILTY?

SIMMER DOWN, JERRY.
EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY.

THIS IS WRONG. AND WHY AREN'T
YOU SAYING SOMETHING ABOUT IT?

LOOK, I THINK WHATEVER QUESTIONS
YOU HAVE, YOU CAN ASK HERE.

NO QUESTIONS. WE
WANT A BLOOD TEST...

FOR A D.N.A. MATCH WITH THE SEMEN
STAINS FOUND AT THE LIFEGUARD HOUSE.

UH...

UM... UH... THAT...

THAT HAS NOTHING
TO DO WITH ANYTHING.

WHAT... WHAT ARE
YOU SAYING, JERRY?

UH... LOOK, UM...

IN THE WINTERTIME,
THE GIRLS, THEY'RE...

THEY'RE ALL
BUNDLED UP LIKE GUYS.

AND, UM, THIS WAS THE
FIRST WARM DAY OF THE YEAR,

AND THE GIRLS WERE WEARING
THEIR SUMMER CLOTHES.

ARE YOU ENJOYING
THIS? NO. ARE YOU?

HEY! LOOK, I MAY LIVE ALONE,

BUT I'M A REGULAR GUY.

NOW, NO ONE SAW
AND NO ONE WAS HURT,

AND I SURE AS HELL
DIDN'T KILL ANYBODY!

LOOK, TOM, YOU CAN TELL THEM... TELL
THEM I AM NOT WHAT THEY'RE SAYING.

LOOK.

LOOK, I TAKE CARE OF
PEOPLE. I TAKE CARE OF PEOPLE.

ESPECIALLY PEOPLE IN
MY PARK. CHECK IT OUT.

CHECK IT OUT.
EVERYTHING HAS BEEN FINE.

IN MY EIGHT YEARS THERE, THERE HAS
NOT BEEN ONE SERIOUS ACCIDENT IN MY PARK.

- CHECK IT OUT.
- THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

THAT'S IT, HUH? THAT'S IT?

YOU DRAG ME THROUGH THIS AND
IT'S "THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME." TOM?

WE'LL NEED YOU.

SORRY ABOUT THIS, JERRY.

SORRY? THAT'S MY APOLOGY?

DAMN YOU PEOPLE.

DAMN ALL YOU PEOPLE!

TOM!

I'M TRYING TO GIVE YOU THE BENEFIT
OF THE DOUBT... FOR EMMA'S SAKE.

BUT YOU COME STORMING IN HERE...

AND START HARASSING A CITIZEN...

BASED ON WHAT?

HE DID IT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU WANT ME TO TELL YOU.

IF YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT,
WHY IS HE OUT THERE FREE?

WE'RE WATCHING HIM. HE
KNOWS WE'RE WATCHING HIM.

FOR NOW, IT'S A STALEMATE.

LOOK.

WE'RE PROBABLY LOOKING
AT HALF-A-DOZEN MURDERS...

DATING BACK OVER THE
SAME NUMBER OF YEARS.

HE'S GONE UNDETECTED UNTIL NOW.

THAT SPEAKS TO THE
SUCCESS OF HIS M.O.

HIS ATTITUDE RIGHT NOW IS COCKY.

HE'S CERTAIN HE KNOWS HE'S
COVERED HIS TRACKS WELL.

SO THEN, WHAT ARE
YOU LOOKING FOR?

SOMETHING THAT MIGHT HAVE
PASSED AS AN ACCIDENT AT THE TIME.

HE'S DEFENSIVE ABOUT HIS PARK.

IF YOU LISTEN TO THE
LANGUAGE, HE'S CLEAR.

"THERE HAVE BEEN NO SERIOUS
ACCIDENTS IN MY PARK. CHECK IT OUT."

HE'S TALKING ABOUT
SOMEWHERE OUTSIDE HIS PARK.

POSSIBLY JUST NEAR HIS PARK.

LOOK, WE'RE PROBABLY... THE VICTIMS'
PHOTOS ARRIVED FROM WASHINGTON.

PRETTY OBVIOUS FIXATION.

AND THIS ONE WAS FIRST.

DISAPPEARED LATE SUMMER, '93. ANOTHER
COLLEGE-AGE GIRL PASSING THROUGH THE STATE.

IF SHE WAS GROUND ZERO, I WANNA
KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT HER.

- MAYBE SHE WASN'T.
- WELL, WHO THEN?

HER NAME WAS LIDDY HOOPER.

THERE WAS NO INVESTIGATION?

RIGHT. SHE DROWNED.

LOCAL GIRL. SHE WAS... SHE
WAS 24 WHEN IT HAPPENED.

UH, TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, WHEN I SAW
THEM FISH HER OUT, I WASN'T THAT SURPRISED.

WHY?

THE GIRL WAS... WAS VERY, UH,
LIBERATED, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

A DRUGGIE. KIND OF A NUT.

SHE WAS... SHE WAS PRETTY LIT UP
THE NIGHT BEFORE WE FOUND HER.

NO AUTOPSY?

I GUESS WE'RE NOT AS SUSPICIOUS AROUND
HERE AS PEOPLE ARE IN SOME OTHER PLACES.

THE MANIFEST SAYS HER
NOTEBOOK SHOULD BE IN HERE.

IF IT'S NOT, I DON'T
KNOW WHERE IT IS.

IT'S BEEN SIX YEARS.

LET ME SEE.

I THOUGHT YOU SAID ALL
THE VICTIMS WERE, UM,

FROM OUT OF TOWN, SO
THEY WOULDN'T BE MISSED.

WAS LIDDY HOOPER MISSED?

SO, HOW... HOW CAN
YOU BE SO SURE?

I MEAN, THAT IT WASN'T
AN ACCIDENTAL DROWNING.

THE BRUISES ON HER FEET
ARE IDENTICAL TO JAN McCALL'S.

WE'RE GONNA NEED
AN EXHUMATION ORDER.

SHUT IT DOWN! SHUT IT DOWN!

WHAT WOULD YOU CALL THIS?

ONE OF MY DEPUTIES FOUND THIS SITTING
ON THE COMMON ROOM TABLE THIS MORNING.

LIDDY HOOPER'S NOTEBOOK.

JERRY NEILSON'S
NAME IS IN THERE,

BUT SO IS MINE.

I KNOW HOW THAT LOOKS,
SO I'M TELLING YOU UP FRONT.

I DON'T SUPPOSE YOU'D ALSO LIKE TO TELL
US WHY HER BODY WASN'T IN THAT CASKET?

AS FAR AS I KNOW, SHE WAS
IN THERE WHEN WE BURIED HER.

AND I DON'T LIKE
THE IMPLICATION.

LOOK, ALL OF MY CARDS
ARE ON THE TABLE.

SO YOU HAD A SEXUAL
RELATIONSHIP WITH LIDDY HOOPER.

I WOULDN'T CALL
IT A RELATIONSHIP.

AND I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE.

LIKE I SAID BEFORE, SHE...
SHE WAS KIND OF A NUT.

SHE COULDN'T GET ENOUGH IF
YOU WANNA KNOW THE TRUTH.

I MEAN, LOOK AT
THAT. SHE KEPT A LIST.

JULY 4, 1993. HER
LAST DAY ON EARTH.

WHAT'S BAR NONE?

IT'S A ROADHOUSE JUST
PAST THE CITY LIMITS.

I'M GOING OUT THERE.
YOU CAN HELP EMMA.

DO WHAT?

THE NAMES IN HERE, I
NEED TO TALK TO THEM.

ALL OF THEM.

WOULD YOU CARE FOR ANOTHER
BEER? YEAH, THAT'D BE GOOD.

HI.

WHAT CAN I GET YOU?

OH, NOTHING. THANKS. I'D LIKE TO ASK YOU A
COUPLE OF QUESTIONS ABOUT LIDDY HOOPER.

MY NAME IS FRANK BLACK.
I'M INVESTIGATING HER DEATH.

WHY? SHE DROWNED SIX YEARS AGO.

WE THINK SHE WAS MURDERED.
SHE WAS HERE THE NIGHT SHE DIED.

ANYTHING YOU COULD REMEMBER
WOULD HELP... WHO SHE WAS WITH.

WELL, LIDDY WAS NEVER
REALLY WITH ANYONE.

WELL, I GUESS YOU COULD
SAY SHE WAS WITH EVERYBODY.

WHAT'S BACK THERE?

A PRIVATE ROOM. EVERYONE
LIKES TO FEEL EXCLUSIVE.

DID LIDDY WORK THIS ROOM?

NOT PRO, IF THAT'S
WHAT YOU MEAN.

SHE WAS...

I DON'T REALLY
KNOW WHAT SHE WAS.

AND I DON'T FEEL REALLY
RIGHT TALKING ABOUT HER.

I MEAN, IT'S JUST GOSSIP. IT'S NOT
LIKE WE WERE FRIENDS OR ANYTHING.

WHO WERE HER FRIENDS?
SHE HAD A THING FOR UNIFORMS.

COPS, FIREMEN.

WHAT ABOUT JERRY
NEILSON, PARK RANGER?

NO. I MEAN, HE COMES BY, BUT THIS
ISN'T EXACTLY HIS KIND OF PLACE.

MM-HMM. DO YOU KNOW WHO
SHE LEFT WITH THAT NIGHT?

SIX YEARS AGO.

I'M SORRY. IT COULD
HAVE BEEN ANYONE.

OKAY, SO MY NAME'S IN THAT BOOK ALONG
WITH EVERYONE ELSE. INCLUDING YOU, TOM.

IT WAS A LONG TIME AGO.
I'M A MARRIED MAN NOW.

I JUST GOT MY ONE-YEAR
CHIP FROM A.A., OKAY?

WHY ARE YOU TALKING TO HIM?

I'M ASKING THE QUESTIONS.

TOM?

YOU KNOW ANYTHING, TELL HER.

THAT NIGHT, LIDDY WANTED
SOME PRESCRIPTION PAINKILLERS.

MIGRAINE, SHE SAID.

I GOT HER SOME
FROM THE AMBULANCE.

I FELT PRETTY BAD FISHING HER
OUT OF THE RESERVOIR THE NEXT DAY.

- DID YOU HAVE SEX WITH HER
THAT NIGHT?
- NO.

THE WAY I REMEMBER, SHE WAS FOOLING
AROUND WITH PRETTY WELL EVERYONE BUT ME.

WHAT ABOUT JERRY
NEILSON, THE RANGER?

WHAT ABOUT HIM? I DON'T EVEN
REMEMBER IF HE WAS THERE.

SO SHE DROWNED MORE THAN TWO MILES
UPSTREAM FROM WHERE HER CAR WAS FOUND?

RIGHT. IT'S IN MY REPORT.

NO, WAYNE, IT'S NOT.

IT SAYS RIGHT HERE.

IT SAYS HER CAR WAS
FOUND AT MILE MARKER 27.1...

WHICH MEANS NOTHING.

IT DOES TO ANYONE
FROM AROUND HERE.

DOESN'T IT, TOM?

YEAH, IT DOES.

LOOK, WE'VE FISHED
BODIES OUT BEFORE.

SEEMS SELF-EVIDENT.

HOW? YOU TELL ME HOW AN INEBRIATED
WOMAN ABANDONING HER CAR...

AND STAGGERING TWO MILES
UPSTREAM IS SELF-EVIDENT.

YOU NEVER KNOW
WHAT A DRUNK WILL DO.

I KNEW THIS WAS GONNA HAPPEN.

YESTERDAY YOU TELL ME I'M FREE TO GO,
AND TODAY YOU'RE ALL HARASSING ME AGAIN.

WE'RE NOT JUST
TALKING TO YOU, JERRY.

AND IT'S NOT ABOUT THE
GIRL WITH THE TATTOO.

I WANNA ASK YOU
ABOUT... LIDDY HOOPER.

SHE DIED SIX YEARS AGO.

HER BODY'S MISSING FROM
HER GRAVE. DID YOU KNOW THAT?

WHY WOULD I KNOW THAT?

JUST NEWS SEEMS TO
TRAVEL QUICKLY AROUND HERE.

IS THERE ANYTHING YOU
CAN TELL US ABOUT HER?

UH, I DIDN'T KNOW HER VERY WELL.

I MEAN, COMPARATIVELY SPEAKING.

REALLY?

BECAUSE YOU HAD A NUMBER OF DATES
WITH HER IN THE MONTHS BEFORE SHE DIED.

NEARLY EVERY SATURDAY.

"8:00, JERRY NEILSON."

IT WAS 8:00 IN THE MORNING. THEY WERE
CANOEING LESSONS. IT WASN'T A DATE.

- YOU DID IT, JERRY, DIDN'T YOU?
- TOM!

YOU KILLED ALL OF THEM!
I DIDN'T KILL ANYBODY.

YOU WHACKED AT YOURSELF IN THAT
LITTLE GUARD SHED AND THEN YOU HEAD OFF...

- I BELIEVED YOU!
- GET OUT OF HERE, NOW!

- LET'S CONTINUE.
- YOU SEE WHAT YOU'VE DONE?

MY LIFE IS RUINED HERE!

AND YOU'VE NO RIGHT TO HOLD ME.

I WON'T TELL!

DON'T YOU DARE LET YOUR
GUILT RUIN MY INVESTIGATION.

HEY, YOU BLAME IT ON THAT SACK OF
CRAP IN THERE. MY CONSCIENCE IS CLEAR.

YEAH? THAT'S WHY YOU
HELD BACK HER NOTEBOOK.

- I GAVE YOU HER NOTEBOOK.
- SIX YEARS TOO LATE.

I NEVER THOUGHT LIDDY WAS
MURDERED! IT SEEMED LIKE AN ACCIDENT!

WELL, HOW HARD DID YOU
LOOK, HUH? HOW HARD?

NO AUTOPSY, NO INQUIRY. YOU LOOKED
THE OTHER WAY TO AVOID EMBARRASSMENT...

AND BECAUSE LIDDY
HOOPER WAS A THROWAWAY.

AND THAT LET JERRY NEILSON
KNOW LOUD AND CLEAR,

"HEY, YOU WANNA KILL SOMEONE?
JUST CHOOSE YOUR VICTIMS CAREFULLY."

AND HERE WE ARE,
WITH ZIP EVIDENCE,

SIX MURDERS LATER.

I WON'T TELL! I WON'T!

LANA, THE GIRL AT THE BAR,

SHE SAID THAT YOU WERE
IN HERE EARLIER TODAY.

THAT'S RIGHT. YOU
ASKED HER ABOUT ME.

ABOUT A LOT OF PEOPLE.

SHE TOLD YOU THAT THERE'S NO WAY I
COULD DO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, DIDN'T SHE?

JERRY, YOU ASKED TO MEET
ME HERE. WHAT DO YOU WANT?

I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW...

THAT THERE IS NO WAY YOU'RE
GONNA PUSH ME OUT OF MY TOWN.

AND I WANT ALL OF THESE
PEOPLE HERE TO KNOW

THAT YOU FOUND NO
EVIDENCE IN THOSE CARS...

NO BODIES, NO NOTHING!

YOU JUST KEEP TURNING
PEOPLE AGAINST ME. THAT'S RIGHT.

I'M THE ONE WHO
TOLD YOU THE TRUTH.

WHAT HAPPENED? WHAT
HAPPENED TO LIDDY HOOPER?

YOU WANNA KNOW? YOU
REALLY WANNA KNOW?

♪♪

ALL RIGHT, HEY! OKAY!

I'M BETTIN' ON THIS HERE.

WHAT? WELL, YEAH.

WELL, THIS RIGHT
HERE, THAT'S MY BET.

RIGHT, LID?

A LOT OF GOOD THAT DOES ME.

IF I WIN, MY WIFE'S
IN THE NEXT ROOM.

POOR YOU.

IF YOU WIN, LIDDY... DOES JERRY.

I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT. I'M IN.

- LAY OFF HER, HUH?
- WHY?

I MEAN IT, WAYNE.

LEAVE HER ALONE.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED,
AND NOT ONE OF THEM TOLD YOU THAT.

NOT TOM, NOT WAYNE,
NOT LEE. I TOLD YOU THAT.

I TOLD YOU THE TRUTH.

YOU PROTECTED HER.

- YOU ASK THEM.
- I BELIEVE YOU.

DID YOU EVER SEE HER AGAIN?

I... I FOUND HER LATER ON.

SHE WAS, UH, PASSED OUT IN
HER CAR ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

WOW.

SHOW ME WHERE.

JERRY, YOU MAY BE THE LAST
PERSON THAT SAW HER ALIVE.

COME ON. IT'S IMPORTANT.

THIS IS WHERE HER
CAR WAS ABANDONED?

IT WASN'T ABANDONED
WHEN I CAME BY.

SHE WAS STILL IN IT, LEANING
ON THE STEERING WHEEL.

SHE WAS PASSED
OUT? CLOSE ENOUGH.

WHAT'D SHE SAY?

WANTED TO SLEEP IT OFF
IN THE CAR, SO I LEFT HER.

YOU CAN'T HELP SOMEONE
WHO DOESN'T WANT IT.

THIS IS WHERE THE KILLER
MADE CONTACT WITH HER.

HE SAW HER CAR STOPPED HERE.

PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

PROBABLY WATCHED HER A LONG TIME,
NOT SURE AT FIRST WHAT HE WAS GONNA DO.

JUST THINKING... HOW
VULNERABLE SHE WAS.

NOTHING AROUND FOR MILES.

HE MUST HAVE FIGURED OUT THAT
HE COULD DO WHATEVER HE WANTED.

ANYTHING AT ALL.

NO ONE HERE TO STOP HIM.

SO HE KILLED HER.

NO, THAT'S NOT WHAT HE WANTED.

- WELL, WHAT THEN?
- I CAN SHOW YOU.

I'VE GOT A LIST OF INTERVIEWS
I'D LIKE TO DO TOMORROW.

I'D LIKE TO DO
THEM IN THIS ORDER.

LOOK, EMMA.

HEY, I SHOULD HAVE ORDERED
AN AUTOPSY ON LIDDY HOOPER.

NO QUESTION ABOUT IT.

BUT I KEEP ASKING MYSELF,

DID I THINK IT WAS A DROWNING?

AND THE ANSWER IS "YES."

I MEAN, YOU COME
BLASTING IN HERE AND YOU...

YOU SEE ALL KINDS OF
THINGS THAT I MISSED.

OKAY, YOU WERE ALWAYS
THE SMART ONE, BUT...

BUT YOU DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING.

NOT IF YOU THINK THIS WAS
SOME KIND OF COVER-UP.

I DON'T THINK IT WAS A
COVER-UP. IT'S NOT THAT.

YOU'VE GOTTA UNDERSTAND,

SOUTH MILLS WAS HOME.

BUT YOU ONLY LIVED
HERE TWO YEARS.

YEAH, I KNOW.

I MEAN, IT WAS THE
LAST GOOD PLACE.

A YEAR AFTER WE MOVED AWAY,

MY SISTER MELISSA WAS MURDERED.

OH, I'M SORRY.

YOU KNOW, COMING
BACK HERE, THIS CRIME...

I'M JUST... I'M ANGRY...

THAT IT'S NO DIFFERENT HERE
THAN WHAT I SEE EVERYWHERE ELSE.

DO YOU LIKE WHAT YOU DO?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

JUST SEEMS LIKE...
KIND OF AN ODD LIFE.

LONELY.

IT COULD BE, I GUESS, BUT...

I DO HAVE KIND OF A PARTNER.

THIS GUY FRANK?

HE'S TAUGHT ME SO MUCH,

YOU KNOW, WHAT I'VE
LEARNED FROM HIM,

WHAT I SEE.

IT'S JUST HOW TO FEEL ABOUT IT.

I MEAN, DO I LIKE WHAT I DO?

IT REALLY ISN'T THAT IMPORTANT.

THIS IS IT.

THIS IS WHERE HE DROWNED HER.

HE PASSED THESE RINGS
MANY TIMES BEFORE.

THOUGHT ABOUT 'EM.

HE KNEW JUST WHAT HE WAS DOING.

NO! SHUT UP!

I WON'T TELL! I WON'T TELL!
I PROMISE, I WON'T TELL!

SHE WOULD HAVE.

SHE WOULD HAVE TOLD.

HE MUST HAVE HATED HER.

MAYBE.

MAYBE HE WAS ANGRY AT HER...

FOR WHAT SHE ALLOWED
HERSELF TO BECOME.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOMETHING I STILL
DON'T UNDERSTAND. MAYBE YOU COULD HELP ME.

WHAT?

HE MUTILATED THE LAST
VICTIM. CUT OFF HER FOOT.

HE CAREFULLY DISPOSED
OF FOUR PREVIOUS VICTIMS.

THEN HE LEFT A FOOT
FOR EVERYBODY TO FIND.

WHY WOULD HE DO THAT?

AFTER LIDDY, I THINK HE WAITED
FOR THEM TO COME AND GET HIM.

HE THOUGHT THAT EVERY
KNOCK ON THE DOOR...

WAS THE SHERIFF.

BUT HE NEVER CAME.

AND ONE DAY HE REALIZED
THAT THEY WEREN'T GONNA COME.

SO HE WENT ON TO DO
IT AGAIN... AND AGAIN.

THEY COULD HAVE STOPPED HIM.

I MEAN, THEY HAD A CHANCE,
BUT... THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.

I THINK HE WANTED THEM
TO KNOW WHAT HE HAD DONE,

WHAT HE CARRIED AROUND INSIDE...

BECAUSE THEY NEVER STOPPED HIM.

SHOW THEM, JERRY.

SHOW THEM WHERE THE BODIES ARE.

YOU KNOW, YOU CALLED ME,
ASKED ME TO MEET YOU AT THE BAR.

WE CAN DO IT TOGETHER
SO THEY KNOW.

WHERE ARE THE BODIES, JERRY?

INTO THE GROUND, WE
COMMEND THE EARTHLY REMAINS...

OF ELIZABETH LIDDY HOOPER.

A CHILD OF GOD, WHOM WE DID
NOT LOVE AS YOU HAVE ASKED...

DURING HER SHORT TIME ON EARTH.

OUR FATHER, WHO ART IN
HEAVEN, HALLOWED BE THY NAME.

THY KINGDOM COME,
THY WILL BE DONE...

ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.

GIVE US THIS DAY
OUR DAILY BREAD...

I KNOW THIS TOWN NEVER
WAS WHAT I THOUGHT IT WAS...

OR WHAT THE PEOPLE HERE THOUGHT,

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE WHEN
YOU SHOW UP AT SOME VACATION SPOT...

THAT WAS SUNNY AND
SUDDENLY IT STARTS TO RAIN...

AND YOU FEEL LIKE YOU BROUGHT
THE BAD WEATHER WITH YOU?

DO I KNOW WHAT THAT FEELS LIKE?

OH, YEAH. OH, YEAH.

AH.

I MADE THIS!
