IN 12 YEARS AS SHERIFF, I NEVER
HAD A SINGLE UNIDENTIFIED BODY.
THEN THEY PUT THIS NEW
FEDERAL HIGHWAY THROUGH,
AND SUDDENLY
WE'RE ROLLING IN 'EM.
CAN'T SAY I EVER HAD A NEED TO
CALL THE F.B.I. OUT HERE BEFORE.
ACTUALLY, I'M FORMER F.B.I.
I WORK WITH A PRIVATE CONSORTIUM
CALLED THE MILLENNIUM GROUP.
THE F.B.I. SUBCONTRACTS OUT
TO US ON CERTAIN KINDS OF CASES.
MR. WATTS. THANK YOU.
THEY'RE NOT LOCAL.
I CAN TELL YOU THAT.
I KNOW EVERYBODY IN THIS COUNTY,
DEAD OR ALIVE. NOBODY'S MISSING.
I'D LIKE TO GET THESE
REMAINS UNDER COVER.
A LARGE TENT WILL BE FINE. ALSO WE'RE
GONNA NEED POWER GENERATORS, PHONE LINES.
IT'S ALREADY ON ITS WAY. SPECIAL
AGENT BALDWIN MADE THE SAME REQUESTS.
GOOD. I'M GLAD TO SEE YOU
GOT YOUR BASES COVERED.
BARRY BALDWIN. PETER WATTS.
WE MET BRIEFLY AT QUANTICO.
I WAS INVOLVED IN THAT
INVESTIGATION OF THE DOWNED AIRLINER,
WITH THE MILLENNIUM GROUP.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT
HERE, PETER? SHEER COINCIDENCE.
A FEW OF US WERE OUT HERE ON SOMETHING
ELSE, AND WE GOT A CALL. PIECE OF LUCK.
WE FOUND ONLY TWO SKULLS, BUT PIECES OF
THREE SEPARATE SCAPULAS WERE UNEARTHED,
ALONG WITH DUPLICATE
METACARPAL FRAGMENTS,
WHICH INDICATE THERE
MIGHT BE MORE TO COME.
IT'S GONNA BE HARD TO MAKE ANY
I.D.s WITH WHAT WE'VE GOT HERE.
LOT OF PIECES, SCATTERED FRAGMENTS.
THE HEAVY EQUIPMENT DIDN'T HELP US ANY.
BUT THEN I SAW YOU DO AN AMAZING
JOB I.D.'ING THOSE CRASH VICTIMS...
WITH A WHOLE LOT LESS.
IT'S NOT JUST THE TEETH. THE
BONES LOOK STRIPPED AND CLEAN.
THERE ARE CAUSTIC BURNS HERE FROM
ACID OR SOME KIND OF LEACHING AGENT.
- PROBABLY POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE.
- THAT WOULD BE MY GUESS TOO.
MAYBE WE SHOULD TEST THE SURROUNDING
SOIL FOR POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE.
- COULD LEAD US TO MORE BODIES.
- HMM. EXCUSE ME.
HE'S A GOOD MAN.
HE USED TO BE FRANK BLACK'S
PARTNER IN THE MILLENNIUM GROUP.
[Knocking] FRANK.
THANKS FOR RUSHING IN HERE. YOU,
UH, HEARD ABOUT THIS THING UP IN MAINE?
LOOK, ANDY, YOU DON'T WANT ME
ON THAT CASE, THAT'S YOUR CALL.
I'M NOT COMPLAINING. WHAT
ARE YOU TALKIN' ABOUT?
I FIGURED FOUR AGENTS
UP THERE IS PLENTY.
PETER WATTS IS UP THERE
REPRESENTING THE MILLENNIUM GROUP.
WELL, IT'S, UH, NEWS
TO ME, FRANK, REALLY.
[Clears Throat] ANYWAY,
YOU'RE STILL WRONG.
I WANT YOU ON THIS CASE, BUT WORKIN'
ON A DIFFERENT ANGLE, DOWN HERE.
FIFTEEN YEARS AGO,
A WOMAN NAMED CYNTHIA
PAGGETT DISAPPEARED.
I GOT THIS NOTE DESCRIBING
HER MURDER... ALLEGED MURDER.
PRECISE LOCATION, WHAT SHE
WAS WEARING. EVERY LAST DETAIL.
BUT WE COULD
NEVER FIND HER BODY.
IN FACT, WE COULD NEVER FIND
ANY EVIDENCE OF ANY CRIME.
NOW, EVERYTHING IN THE NOTE...
HAD COME OUT IN THE NEWSPAPER, INCLUDING
THE FACT THAT I WAS INVESTIGATING,
SO, YEAH, I FIGURED,
CRACKPOT, LET IT GO. YEAH.
I GOT FIVE MORE
NOTES THAT SAME YEAR,
EACH ONE, LIKE THE FIRST,
JUST THE NAME OF
SOMEONE WHO DISAPPEARED.
EACH OF THEM, LIKE THE FIRST,
A MATTER OF PUBLIC RECORD.
PROFESSIONAL PEOPLE. THESE
ARE NOT YOUR USUAL VICTIMS.
I ALWAYS FELT WE'D
HEARD FROM THE KILLER,
BUT THERE WAS ZIP
EVIDENCE OF ANY CRIME.
LEGWORK WENT NOWHERE.
ANYWAY, THE NOTES STOPPED.
EVERYTHING WENT AWAY.
BUT... CHECK THE WRITING.
THE WRITING GETS SMALLER
WITH EACH CORRESPONDENCE.
THIS ARRIVED YESTERDAY.
OBSESSIVE. HE'S A WRITER.
THAT'S WHAT HE DOES.
THERE WILL BE
JOURNALS AND DIARIES.
THE LAST TWO WORDS? TAKE A LOOK.
SAME GUY, 15 YEARS LATER.
HE DESCRIBES THE BURIAL SITE IN A
LETTER WITH THE SAME POSTMARK.
- HE'S HERE.
- FIND HIM, FRANK.
[Camera Shutter Clicking]
[Woman On Police Radio, Indistinct]
HOLLIS? BALDWIN SAYS YOU FOUND
SOMETHING. ANOTHER INTACT SKELETON.
IT LOOKS LIKE A FEMALE, BUT
IT'S NOT GONNA DO US MUCH GOOD.
THE TEETH HAVE ALL BEEN REMOVED.
I WAS HOPING WE MIGHT
FIND A PIECE OF JEWELRY.
WE CHECKED SEVERAL
SOIL SAMPLES. NO TRACES
OF THE LEACHING AGENTS
YOU WERE ASKING ABOUT.
I DON'T THINK THIS WAS
THE ORIGINAL BURIAL SITE.
I THINK THEY WERE BURIED
SOMEWHERE ELSE, THEN MOVED HERE,
SO THEY'D BE BURIED UNDER
THE FREEWAY FOREVER.
THEY WERE ONLY
DISCOVERED BY ACCIDENT.
A GUY ON A GRADER MOVING
DIRT THAT WAS SET TO BE COVERED.
IF WE FOLLOW THE ROUTE OF THE
HIGHWAY WHERE THEY HAVEN'T GRADED YET,
WE MIGHT FIND A BURIAL
GROUND OR EVEN A MURDER SITE.
WHAT? I HAD THE SAME THOUGHT.
I COURIERED THREE SEPARATE PIECES
OF SKELETON TO A LAB IN BANGOR...
BEFORE YOU ALL GOT HERE.
UNFORTUNATELY, THEY
FOUND TRACES OF A FUNGUS
THAT COULDN'T HAVE
SURVIVED IN THIS CLIMATE.
WHAT KIND OF FUNGUS? SOME VARIETY OF
ASPERGILLUS UNIQUE TO CENTRAL FLORIDA.
SO, WHOEVER MOVED THESE BODIES
HERE WENT TO A WHOLE LOT OF TROUBLE.
BUT IT WAS A GOOD
THOUGHT, AGENT HOLLIS.
I'LL BE HAPPY TO SHOW YOU
THOSE RESULTS, IF YOU LIKE.
NO. I'M SURE YOU'RE RIGHT.
OKAY. YOU HAVE A BAD IMPRESSION OF
ME, AND IT'S BECAUSE OF FRANK BLACK.
I DON'T HAVE ANY
IMPRESSION OF YOU.
I WAS WITH THE BUREAU FOR ALMOST
20 YEARS. I'VE SEEN THE POLITICS.
FRANK IS NOT IMMUNE. IS
THAT SOME KIND OF ADVICE?
NO, BUT I DON'T LIKE TO BE MALIGNED OR HAVE
THE PEOPLE I WORK WITH SPOKEN POORLY OF.
I'M... FOR ME, IT'S ALWAYS
BEEN ABOUT THE WORK.
LOOK AT THIS. LOOKS
LIKE A BULLET HOLE.
POINT BLANK, JUDGING FROM THE
DEPRESSION AT THE ENTRY POINT.
AN EXECUTION WOUND. WHAT'S THIS?
DISCOLORATION.
ASPERGILLUS? NO. LOOK.
THERE WAS A
SURGICAL PROCEDURE...
TO RELIEVE PRESSURE
FROM A HEAD INJURY.
THEY PLUGGED UP THE HOLE.
HOW COMMON CAN THAT BE?
BURIED TREASURE?
I'M AT 471 EAST MAPLE.
UH, THEY DESCRIBED THIS
AS THE FIRST MURDER SITE.
IT'S A RESTAURANT.
CRUMMY SEAFOOD.
WELL, IT'S A PARKING LOT NOW.
MAYBE YOU COULD ORIENT ME.
OH, MAN. WITHOUT THE BUILDING...
I REMEMBER THE SITE
WAS, UH, VERY HIDDEN.
WELL, THERE'S NOTHING HERE NOW.
THERE'S A RETAINING WALL?
HOW FAR DOWN THE WALL? I
DON'T KNOW. ABOUT HALFWAY.
WE OUGHTA HAVE SOME PHOTOS
ON THIS SOMEWHERE, SHOULDN'T WE?
I'LL GET BACK TO YOU, ANDY.
[Siren Wailing In Distance]
[Screaming]
[Man] I TOLD YOU! [Dog Barking]
TAKE IT WITH YOU.
[Barking Continues]
HEY. HEY!
STOP!
[Panting]
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
YOU SAID STOP!
COME ON.
[Talking Quietly]
[Camera Shutter Clicks]
I TELL YOU, FRANK. YOU CAUGHT
YOURSELF A WEIRD ONE HERE.
WHAT DID HE SAY?
NOTHING. NOT A WORD.
HE'S WOUND UP, JUMPY.
SO THERE'S NOTHING HERE?
HE WAS WATCHING ME.
THEY HAVE TO BE HERE.
JOURNALS, SOMETHING.
HE'S A WRITER.
[Clattering]
COME ON. LET'S TAKE
HIM WITH US. LET'S GO.
THE SKULL IS GRACILE. THAT
IS, SMOOTH AND DELICATE.
IT'S ALMOST CERTAINLY FEMALE.
PALATE HAS A
CAUCASIAN ASPECT TO IT.
SHE WAS PROBABLY OF
NORTHERN EUROPEAN EXTRACTION.
SEE THE PITTING INSIDE THE
BRAIN CASE? THAT EROSION THERE?
- MM-HMM.
- IT'S FROM AN INFECTION.
THAT'S WHY THEY
HAD TO DRILL THE HOLE.
- WELCOME TO THE FUTURE, HUH?
- MY GOD, THAT'S HER.
- WHO?
- CYNTHIA PAGGETT.
WE CROSS-REFERENCED MEDICAL RECORDS
STATE-BY-STATE DOWN THE EASTERN SEABOARD,
TRYING TO I.D. THE SKULL.
USING THE POSITION OF THE HOLE
AND BY MATCHING THE BORE LINES...
TO A SURGICAL DRILL BIT USED AT
MASS GENERAL IN THE EARLY '80s,
WE NARROWED IT DOWN
TO FOUR POSSIBILITIES,
INCLUDING...
YEAH, WELL, IT'S
A PLACE TO START.
HOLLIS, McCLAREN'S ON LINE ONE.
HE'S GOT SOME KIND OF AN UPDATE.
WHAT DID YOU DO TO PISS HIM OFF?
I'M ALL EARS, SIR.
I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE CLOSE TO
MAKING YOUR FIRST POSITIVE I.D.
YES, SIR.
NO, WE'VE JUST GOT A CONFIRMATION
ON THAT, SIR. CYNTHIA PAGGETT.
[McClaren] EXCELLENT. THAT'S
REAL GOOD WORK. THANK YOU, SIR.
- JUST SO YOU KNOW,
WE HAVE A SUSPECT IN CUSTODY.
- DID WE GET A CONFESSION?
NO, BUT WE HAVE A LIST OF SIX
VICTIMS WE'D LIKE YOU TO WORK OFF.
UH, THEIR NAMES AND SUPPORTING MATERIALS
ARE BEING SENT TO YOU AS WE SPEAK.
MEDICAL RECORDS SHOULD ALLOW
YOU TO I.D. THE SKELETONS ABSOLUTELY.
- HOW MANY VICTIMS?
- SIX, WHICH I UNDERSTAND
MATCHES THE BODY COUNT.
SO WE'RE DONE. WE CAN
GO HOME? LOOKS LIKE.
GOOD JOB, PEOPLE.
WHERE DID YOU GET THIS NAME?
VICTIM 38.
SHE WAS A FRIEND OF MINE.
CHERYL ANDREWS.
M.D.
DISAPPEARED OCTOBER 9, 1997.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "DISAPPEARED"?
SHE DID AUTOPSIES. YES.
THAT'S WHAT KILLED
HER. WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, ED?
THEY KEEP ME SAFE.
IF THEY FIND THEM,
THEY'LL KNOW I KNOW.
WHO ARE "THEY"?
HAVE YOU SEEN THEM?
DO YOU KNOW THEIR NAMES?
HUH?
LET ME HAVE IT. IT'S OKAY.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING, FRANK?
INTERROGATING A SUSPECT.
WELL, WE HAVE PROCEDURES FOR
THAT, YOU KNOW. WHAT'S THE BOOK?
HE'S NOT OUR KILLER, ANDY. COME
ON, FRANK. WHO ARE YOU KIDDING?
I HAVE NEVER SEEN SO MUCH
EVIDENCE AGAINST ONE MAN.
HE'S JUST A WITNESS. HE WITNESSED
THE FIRST MURDER FROM HIS WINDOW.
WHAT ABOUT ALL THE OTHERS? WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT SIX BODIES HERE, SIX MURDERS.
HE KNOWS ABOUT ALL OF THEM. HE
LEARNED ABOUT 'EM. LOOK AT THE VICTIMOLOGY.
IT'S PEOPLE WHOSE DISAPPEARANCE
WOULD BE RECORDED IN NEWSPAPERS.
SCIENTISTS, DOCTORS, TEACHERS.
THERE WERE NO DOCTORS,
FRANK, NOT ON THE LIST HE GAVE US.
WHAT IS IT YOU ARE
NOT TELLING ME, FRANK?
THERE ARE MORE BODIES UP THERE.
THERE WAS ONE OF YOUR GUYS LOOKIN'
FOR A PHOTO OF THAT SUSPECT YOU'RE HOLDIN'.
I DON'T HAVE ONE. MAYBE I
SHOULD. ONE OF OUR GUYS?
HE'S WORKING WITH THAT
MILLENNIUM FELLOW. [Phone Ringing]
- EMMA HOLLIS.
- THERE'S A REASON
PETER WATTS IS THERE.
FRANK?
VICTIM 38 IS WHY HE'S THERE.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING
ABOUT, VICTIM 38?
- WE'VE GOT SIX. WE'RE DONE.
- NO, YOU'RE NOT.
VICTIM 38. HER NAME WAS CHERYL
ANDREWS. SHE WAS A DOCTOR.
PETER WATTS IS THERE TO FIND HER
REMAINS AND KEEP THEM A SECRET.
- FROM WHO?
- FROM ME.
I USED TO WORK WITH HER
IN THE MILLENNIUM GROUP.
WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?
I'M SENDING YOU AN E-MAIL.
[Beeps]
[Gasps]
[Thunder Rumbling]
[Thunder Rumbling]
[Thunderclaps]
WHAT'D YOU FIND?
[Police Radio:
Indistinct Voices]
IT WAS A GOOD FIND.
WE WERE PACKING UP.
WHAT MADE YOU EVEN
THINK TO LOOK HERE, HOLLIS?
I SAW THE DEPRESSION IN THE
SOIL, AND THE IRREGULARITY.
PIECE OF LUCK.
YOU'RE NOT WORKING ON INFORMATION
THAT WE'RE NOT PRIVY TO, ARE YOU?
- I HEARD FROM QUANTICO
THERE MIGHT BE MORE BODIES.
- FROM QUANTICO?
FROM FRANK BLACK.
I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION
IT WAS BREAKING INFORMATION.
I AM NOT WORKING IN SECRET, IF
THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE THINKING, BARRY.
THANK YOU.
THE VICTIMS THEY FOUND BURIED IN
MAINE, I'M READING HERE IN YOUR JOURNAL...
THEY WERE PROGRAMMERS,
SCIENTISTS, DOCTORS,
UH, SCHOOL TEST ADMINISTRATORS
WITH NO APPARENT CONNECTION.
[Scoffs, Sighs]
I NEED YOUR HELP.
THEN GET ME OUT OF
HERE. IT'S NOT SAFE.
YOU'RE STILL A SUSPECT
UNTIL WE FIND WHO DID THIS.
CHERYL ANDREWS. YOU
SAID AN AUTOPSY KILLED HER.
WHAT'S THE CONNECTION, ED?
EVERYTHING.
EVERYTHING'S CONNECTED.
IT'S WHAT ALL OF THEM
DO; IT'S WHO SHE WAS.
PRINCETON UNDERGRAD, HARVARD
MEDICAL SCHOOL, JOHNS HOPKINS POSTDOC.
PUBLICATIONS...
"THE EFFECT OF ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION
ON HUMAN BRAIN CATABOLISM AND BEHAVIOR."
AND "AUTOPSY ON JOHN DOE."
IT'S AN ENORMOUS MASS...
APPROXIMATELY 66.0
CENTIMETERS ANTERIOR.
SLIGHTLY LARGER POSTERIOR.
NOTHING APPROACHING THIS
SCALE HAS EVER BEEN REPORTED.
CASCADING TUMOR PRECIPITATED BY
PULSED ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION.
[Ed] THERE ARE RECORDS OF
EVERYTHING. IT'S ALL THERE IN PLAIN SIGHT.
THAT'S HOW I KNOW.
KNOW WHAT? LOOK...
KNOW WHAT? SECRETS? NO,
NO, NO! THERE ARE NO SECRETS.
NOT ANYMORE, BUT YOU SEE,
PEOPLE... CAN BE ERASED.
IF A SCHOOL TEST ADMINISTRATOR
FINDS THOUSANDS OF I.Q. TESTS...
TAMPERED WITH... GONE.
IF WITNESSES IN OKLAHOMA
CITY REPORT A HALO EFFECT...
FIVE SECONDS BEFORE
THE EXPLOSION... GONE.
IF FIVE SATELLITES EXPLODE
ON THEIR LAUNCHPADS,
AND SOMEBODY ASKS WHY... GONE.
IF A DOCTOR DOING AN
AUTOPSY FINDS MUTATION...
TWO WEEKS AFTER A SO-CALLED RADIO
INSTALLATION GOES ON-LINE IN ALASKA...
CHERYL ANDREWS.
GONE.
[Beeps]
[Ed] SHE WENT TO A CONFERENCE IN
GERMANY TO REPORT WHAT SHE FOUND.
[Beeping]
SHE NEVER MADE IT.
[Typing Continues] [Beeps]
THEY HAD HER
ARRESTED... AND DEPORTED.
I'M GONNA HAVE TO ASK YOU TO
STEP TO THE SIDE, PLEASE, MA'AM.
I-I DON'T HAVE
ANYTHING TO DECLARE.
LITERALLY, ALL I
HAVE IS MY PASSPORT.
JUST GO WITH THE
OFFICER, PLEASE.
[Ed] AND THAT'S THE LAST I
HAVE ON CHERYL ANDREWS.
FRANKFURT AIRPORT.
[Screams] [Ed]
ARRESTED, DEPORTED.
AND THEN THE RECORD STOPS.
[Shot Echoing]
[Phone Rings] HELLO.
HOMER B. PETTEY. DOES THAT
NAME MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU?
NO. CHERYL ANDREWS
WAS ARRESTED IN GERMANY,
RELEASED BEFORE TRIAL.
IT WAS AUTHORIZED
BY HOMER B. PETTEY.
YOU'RE HOPING SHE'S NOT
UP THERE AMONG THE BODIES.
THEY DESTROYED HER
BECAUSE SHE GOT INVOLVED
IN SOMETHING, SAW
SOMETHING, KNEW SOMETHING.
WHO, THE MILLENNIUM GROUP?
[Sighs] THIS IS HOW YOU LIVE?
WONDERING IF IT'LL HAPPEN
TO YOU, TO YOUR DAUGHTER?
HOLLIS, WATCH YOUR BACK.
[Hangs Up Receiver]
I WISH NOW WE'D FINISHED OUR
CONVERSATION ABOUT FRANK.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
YOU'RE A PROMISING AGENT.
YOU'RE SMART, CAPABLE.
HE'S DOING YOU A
GREAT DISSERVICE.
HE'S NOT DOING ANYTHING.
FRANK HAS HAD A
LOT OF GOOD YEARS,
BUT PARANOID DELUSIONS
REINFORCE THEMSELVES.
YOU KNOW, EVERY NEW FACT
TENDS TO CONFIRM THE FICTION.
I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE TALKING
ABOUT SPACE ALIENS OR J.F.K...
OR... THE MILLENNIUM GROUP.
CHERYL ANDREWS WAS
A VALUED COMRADE...
WHO DIED 10 MONTHS AGO
AT HER HOME IN OMAHA.
I WAS AT THE FUNERAL, AS WERE
SEVERAL OTHER GROUP MEMBERS.
IT WAS OPEN CASKET.
YOU CAN ASK HER FAMILY IF
YOU... WANT TO MAKE THAT CALL.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE...
DID YOU FIND WHAT
YOU WERE LOOKING FOR?
I ALREADY HAD IT.
THANK YOU.
YOU'RE TELLING ME HE LINKED 43
DISAPPEARANCES BY READING THE NEWSPAPER?
A LOT OF NEWSPAPERS
AND MAGAZINES.
SCIENTIFIC PERIODICALS,
INTERNET NEWSGROUPS.
HE WITNESSED THE MURDER, AND
IT SHOOK HIM, CHANGED HIS LIFE.
SINCE THEN, HE'S BEEN
OBSESSIVELY RECORDING...
EVERYTHING ABOUT
EVERYONE HE'S COME ACROSS,
MAKING CONNECTIONS,
BUILDING THEORIES,
ONE VICTIM LEADING TO THE NEXT.
CAN HE I.D. THE PERPETRATORS?
YOU KNOW WHO THAT
IS, ANDY. THEY'LL KILL HIM.
YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT, FRANK?
MASS MURDER, BODIES
BOILED DOWN TO SKELETONS.
HE'S DONE HIS PART.
DON'T MAKE HIM TESTIFY.
WELL, I AM NOT GOING TO RELEASE
HIM TO HIS OWN RECOGNIZANCE.
HE'S A NUTCASE. WE'LL
NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN.
I'LL PUT HIM IN THE WITNESS
PROTECTION PROGRAM.
RELEASE HIM, ANDY.
HE'S SAFER ON HIS OWN.
HELLO.

WHATEVER TERRIBLE THING HAPPENED TO THOSE
VICTIMS SADDENS ME AS MUCH AS IT DOES YOU.
YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM.
WE LIVE IN A FREE
AND STABLE SOCIETY,
WHILE ALL AROUND US COUNTRIES ARE
COLLAPSING IN POVERTY, CHAOS, TYRANNY.
THAT'S NO ACCIDENT. IT'S NOT A MATTER
OF LUCK. FORTY-THREE PEOPLE ARE DEAD.
FORTY-THREE THREATS
ARE NOW GONE.
THERE ARE FORCES AT WORK TODAY THAT
COULD EASILY TEAR THIS COUNTRY APART.
TERRIBLE WEAPONS BEING
DEVELOPED, WITH US AS THEIR TARGET.
WHO, AGENT HOLLIS,
IS PREPARED TO DO WHAT IS
NECESSARY TO ASSURE OUR FUTURE?
YOU'LL SEE.
AND THEN WE'LL TALK.
WE'VE RECOVERED A TOTAL OF 42
VICTIMS. FORTY-THREE, I THOUGHT.
UH... NO, 42.
EVEN IF WE DEFINITIVELY
I.D. ALL OF THEM,
THE PROCESS IS GONNA
TAKE MONTHS, MAYBE YEARS.
THE MILLENNIUM GROUP IDENTIFIED A FUNGUS
ON THE BONES UNIQUE TO CENTRAL FLORIDA.
IT'S A VARIETY OF ASPERGILLIUM.
AT THIS POINT, I RECOMMEND THAT
WE SHIFT OUR EFFORTS SOUTHWARD.
DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO
ADD TO THAT, AGENT HOLLIS?
NO, SIR. EXCUSE ME.
DON'T EXPECT ME TO THANK YOU,
BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO KNOW THIS.
KNOW WHAT, EXACTLY? THE TRUTH
DOESN'T REALLY MATTER, DOES IT?
ONLY WHAT YOU CAN PROVE.
OH, THE TRUTH DOES
MATTER, AGENT HOLLIS.

WHAT KIND OF FUNGUS? SOME VARIETY OF
ASPERGILLUS UNIQUE TO CENTRAL FLORIDA.
SO, WHOEVER MOVED THESE BODIES
HERE WENT TO A WHOLE LOT OF TROUBLE.
BUT IT WAS A GOOD
THOUGHT, AGENT HOLLIS.
I'LL BE HAPPY TO SHOW YOU
THOSE RESULTS, IF YOU LIKE.
NO. I'M SURE YOU'RE RIGHT.
OKAY. YOU HAVE A BAD IMPRESSION OF
ME, AND IT'S BECAUSE OF FRANK BLACK.
I DON'T HAVE ANY
IMPRESSION OF YOU.
I WAS WITH THE BUREAU FOR ALMOST
20 YEARS. I'VE SEEN THE POLITICS.
FRANK IS NOT IMMUNE. IS
THAT SOME KIND OF ADVICE?
NO, BUT I DON'T LIKE TO BE MALIGNED OR HAVE
THE PEOPLE I WORK WITH SPOKEN POORLY OF.
I'M... FOR ME, IT'S ALWAYS
BEEN ABOUT THE WORK.
LOOK AT THIS. LOOKS
LIKE A BULLET HOLE.
POINT BLANK, JUDGING FROM THE
DEPRESSION AT THE ENTRY POINT.
AN EXECUTION WOUND. WHAT'S THIS?
DISCOLORATION.
ASPERGILLUS? NO. LOOK.
THERE WAS A
SURGICAL PROCEDURE...
TO RELIEVE PRESSURE
FROM A HEAD INJURY.
THEY PLUGGED UP THE HOLE.
HOW COMMON CAN THAT BE?
BURIED TREASURE?
I'M AT 471 EAST MAPLE.
UH, THEY DESCRIBED THIS
AS THE FIRST MURDER SITE.
IT'S A RESTAURANT.
CRUMMY SEAFOOD.
WELL, IT'S A PARKING LOT NOW.
MAYBE YOU COULD ORIENT ME.
OH, MAN. WITHOUT THE BUILDING...
I REMEMBER THE SITE
WAS, UH, VERY HIDDEN.
WELL, THERE'S NOTHING HERE NOW.
THERE'S A RETAINING WALL?
HOW FAR DOWN THE WALL? I
DON'T KNOW. ABOUT HALFWAY.
WE OUGHTA HAVE SOME PHOTOS
ON THIS SOMEWHERE, SHOULDN'T WE?
I'LL GET BACK TO YOU, ANDY.
[Siren Wailing In Distance]
[Screaming]
[Man] I TOLD YOU! [Dog Barking]
TAKE IT WITH YOU.
[Barking Continues]
HEY. HEY!
STOP!
[Panting]
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
YOU SAID STOP!
COME ON.
[Talking Quietly]
[Camera Shutter Clicks]
I TELL YOU, FRANK. YOU CAUGHT
YOURSELF A WEIRD ONE HERE.
WHAT DID HE SAY?
NOTHING. NOT A WORD.
HE'S WOUND UP, JUMPY.
SO THERE'S NOTHING HERE?
HE WAS WATCHING ME.
THEY HAVE TO BE HERE.
JOURNALS, SOMETHING.
HE'S A WRITER.
[Clattering]
COME ON. LET'S TAKE
HIM WITH US. LET'S GO.
THE SKULL IS GRACILE. THAT
IS, SMOOTH AND DELICATE.
IT'S ALMOST CERTAINLY FEMALE.
PALATE HAS A
CAUCASIAN ASPECT TO IT.
SHE WAS PROBABLY OF
NORTHERN EUROPEAN EXTRACTION.
SEE THE PITTING INSIDE THE
BRAIN CASE? THAT EROSION THERE?
- MM-HMM.
- IT'S FROM AN INFECTION.
THAT'S WHY THEY
HAD TO DRILL THE HOLE.
- WELCOME TO THE FUTURE, HUH?
- MY GOD, THAT'S HER.
- WHO?
- CYNTHIA PAGGETT.
WE CROSS-REFERENCED MEDICAL RECORDS
STATE-BY-STATE DOWN THE EASTERN SEABOARD,
TRYING TO I.D. THE SKULL.
USING THE POSITION OF THE HOLE
AND BY MATCHING THE BORE LINES...
TO A SURGICAL DRILL BIT USED AT
MASS GENERAL IN THE EARLY '80s,
WE NARROWED IT DOWN
TO FOUR POSSIBILITIES,
INCLUDING...
YEAH, WELL, IT'S
A PLACE TO START.
HOLLIS, McCLAREN'S ON LINE ONE.
HE'S GOT SOME KIND OF AN UPDATE.
WHAT DID YOU DO TO PISS HIM OFF?
I'M ALL EARS, SIR.
I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE CLOSE TO
MAKING YOUR FIRST POSITIVE I.D.
YES, SIR.
NO, WE'VE JUST GOT A CONFIRMATION
ON THAT, SIR. CYNTHIA PAGGETT.
[McClaren] EXCELLENT. THAT'S
REAL GOOD WORK. THANK YOU, SIR.
- JUST SO YOU KNOW,
WE HAVE A SUSPECT IN CUSTODY.
- DID WE GET A CONFESSION?
NO, BUT WE HAVE A LIST OF SIX
VICTIMS WE'D LIKE YOU TO WORK OFF.
UH, THEIR NAMES AND SUPPORTING MATERIALS
ARE BEING SENT TO YOU AS WE SPEAK.
MEDICAL RECORDS SHOULD ALLOW
YOU TO I.D. THE SKELETONS ABSOLUTELY.
- HOW MANY VICTIMS?
- SIX, WHICH I UNDERSTAND
MATCHES THE BODY COUNT.
SO WE'RE DONE. WE CAN
GO HOME? LOOKS LIKE.
GOOD JOB, PEOPLE.
WHERE DID YOU GET THIS NAME?
VICTIM 38.
SHE WAS A FRIEND OF MINE.
CHERYL ANDREWS.
M.D.
DISAPPEARED OCTOBER 9, 1997.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "DISAPPEARED"?
SHE DID AUTOPSIES. YES.
THAT'S WHAT KILLED
HER. WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, ED?
THEY KEEP ME SAFE.
IF THEY FIND THEM,
THEY'LL KNOW I KNOW.
WHO ARE "THEY"?
HAVE YOU SEEN THEM?
DO YOU KNOW THEIR NAMES?
HUH?
LET ME HAVE IT. IT'S OKAY.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING, FRANK?
INTERROGATING A SUSPECT.
WELL, WE HAVE PROCEDURES FOR
THAT, YOU KNOW. WHAT'S THE BOOK?
HE'S NOT OUR KILLER, ANDY. COME
ON, FRANK. WHO ARE YOU KIDDING?
I HAVE NEVER SEEN SO MUCH
EVIDENCE AGAINST ONE MAN.
HE'S JUST A WITNESS. HE WITNESSED
THE FIRST MURDER FROM HIS WINDOW.
WHAT ABOUT ALL THE OTHERS? WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT SIX BODIES HERE, SIX MURDERS.
HE KNOWS ABOUT ALL OF THEM. HE
LEARNED ABOUT 'EM. LOOK AT THE VICTIMOLOGY.
IT'S PEOPLE WHOSE DISAPPEARANCE
WOULD BE RECORDED IN NEWSPAPERS.
SCIENTISTS, DOCTORS, TEACHERS.
THERE WERE NO DOCTORS,
FRANK, NOT ON THE LIST HE GAVE US.
WHAT IS IT YOU ARE
NOT TELLING ME, FRANK?
THERE ARE MORE BODIES UP THERE.
THERE WAS ONE OF YOUR GUYS LOOKIN'
FOR A PHOTO OF THAT SUSPECT YOU'RE HOLDIN'.
I DON'T HAVE ONE. MAYBE I
SHOULD. ONE OF OUR GUYS?
HE'S WORKING WITH THAT
MILLENNIUM FELLOW. [Phone Ringing]
- EMMA HOLLIS.
- THERE'S A REASON
PETER WATTS IS THERE.
FRANK?
VICTIM 38 IS WHY HE'S THERE.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING
ABOUT, VICTIM 38?
- WE'VE GOT SIX. WE'RE DONE.
- NO, YOU'RE NOT.
VICTIM 38. HER NAME WAS CHERYL
ANDREWS. SHE WAS A DOCTOR.
PETER WATTS IS THERE TO FIND HER
REMAINS AND KEEP THEM A SECRET.
- FROM WHO?
- FROM ME.
I USED TO WORK WITH HER
IN THE MILLENNIUM GROUP.
WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?
I'M SENDING YOU AN E-MAIL.
[Beeps]
[Gasps]
[Thunder Rumbling]
[Thunder Rumbling]
[Thunderclaps]
WHAT'D YOU FIND?
[Police Radio:
Indistinct Voices]
IT WAS A GOOD FIND.
WE WERE PACKING UP.
WHAT MADE YOU EVEN
THINK TO LOOK HERE, HOLLIS?
I SAW THE DEPRESSION IN THE
SOIL, AND THE IRREGULARITY.
PIECE OF LUCK.
YOU'RE NOT WORKING ON INFORMATION
THAT WE'RE NOT PRIVY TO, ARE YOU?
- I HEARD FROM QUANTICO
THERE MIGHT BE MORE BODIES.
- FROM QUANTICO?
FROM FRANK BLACK.
I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION
IT WAS BREAKING INFORMATION.
I AM NOT WORKING IN SECRET, IF
THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE THINKING, BARRY.
THANK YOU.
THE VICTIMS THEY FOUND BURIED IN
MAINE, I'M READING HERE IN YOUR JOURNAL...
THEY WERE PROGRAMMERS,
SCIENTISTS, DOCTORS,
UH, SCHOOL TEST ADMINISTRATORS
WITH NO APPARENT CONNECTION.
[Scoffs, Sighs]
I NEED YOUR HELP.
THEN GET ME OUT OF
HERE. IT'S NOT SAFE.
YOU'RE STILL A SUSPECT
UNTIL WE FIND WHO DID THIS.
CHERYL ANDREWS. YOU
SAID AN AUTOPSY KILLED HER.
WHAT'S THE CONNECTION, ED?
EVERYTHING.
EVERYTHING'S CONNECTED.
IT'S WHAT ALL OF THEM
DO; IT'S WHO SHE WAS.
PRINCETON UNDERGRAD, HARVARD
MEDICAL SCHOOL, JOHNS HOPKINS POSTDOC.
PUBLICATIONS...
"THE EFFECT OF ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION
ON HUMAN BRAIN CATABOLISM AND BEHAVIOR."
AND "AUTOPSY ON JOHN DOE."
IT'S AN ENORMOUS MASS...
APPROXIMATELY 66.0
CENTIMETERS ANTERIOR.
SLIGHTLY LARGER POSTERIOR.
NOTHING APPROACHING THIS
SCALE HAS EVER BEEN REPORTED.
CASCADING TUMOR PRECIPITATED BY
PULSED ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION.
[Ed] THERE ARE RECORDS OF
EVERYTHING. IT'S ALL THERE IN PLAIN SIGHT.
THAT'S HOW I KNOW.
KNOW WHAT? LOOK...
KNOW WHAT? SECRETS? NO,
NO, NO! THERE ARE NO SECRETS.
NOT ANYMORE, BUT YOU SEE,
PEOPLE... CAN BE ERASED.
IF A SCHOOL TEST ADMINISTRATOR
FINDS THOUSANDS OF I.Q. TESTS...
TAMPERED WITH... GONE.
IF WITNESSES IN OKLAHOMA
CITY REPORT A HALO EFFECT...
FIVE SECONDS BEFORE
THE EXPLOSION... GONE.
IF FIVE SATELLITES EXPLODE
ON THEIR LAUNCHPADS,
AND SOMEBODY ASKS WHY... GONE.
IF A DOCTOR DOING AN
AUTOPSY FINDS MUTATION...
TWO WEEKS AFTER A SO-CALLED RADIO
INSTALLATION GOES ON-LINE IN ALASKA...
CHERYL ANDREWS.
GONE.
[Beeps]
[Ed] SHE WENT TO A CONFERENCE IN
GERMANY TO REPORT WHAT SHE FOUND.
[Beeping]
SHE NEVER MADE IT.
[Typing Continues] [Beeps]
THEY HAD HER
ARRESTED... AND DEPORTED.
I'M GONNA HAVE TO ASK YOU TO
STEP TO THE SIDE, PLEASE, MA'AM.
I-I DON'T HAVE
ANYTHING TO DECLARE.
LITERALLY, ALL I
HAVE IS MY PASSPORT.
JUST GO WITH THE
OFFICER, PLEASE.
[Ed] AND THAT'S THE LAST I
HAVE ON CHERYL ANDREWS.
FRANKFURT AIRPORT.
[Screams] [Ed]
ARRESTED, DEPORTED.
AND THEN THE RECORD STOPS.
[Shot Echoing]
[Phone Rings] HELLO.
HOMER B. PETTEY. DOES THAT
NAME MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU?
NO. CHERYL ANDREWS
WAS ARRESTED IN GERMANY,
RELEASED BEFORE TRIAL.
IT WAS AUTHORIZED
BY HOMER B. PETTEY.
YOU'RE HOPING SHE'S NOT
UP THERE AMONG THE BODIES.
THEY DESTROYED HER
BECAUSE SHE GOT INVOLVED
IN SOMETHING, SAW
SOMETHING, KNEW SOMETHING.
WHO, THE MILLENNIUM GROUP?
[Sighs] THIS IS HOW YOU LIVE?
WONDERING IF IT'LL HAPPEN
TO YOU, TO YOUR DAUGHTER?
HOLLIS, WATCH YOUR BACK.
[Hangs Up Receiver]
I WISH NOW WE'D FINISHED OUR
CONVERSATION ABOUT FRANK.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
YOU'RE A PROMISING AGENT.
YOU'RE SMART, CAPABLE.
HE'S DOING YOU A
GREAT DISSERVICE.
HE'S NOT DOING ANYTHING.
FRANK HAS HAD A
LOT OF GOOD YEARS,
BUT PARANOID DELUSIONS
REINFORCE THEMSELVES.
YOU KNOW, EVERY NEW FACT
TENDS TO CONFIRM THE FICTION.
I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE TALKING
ABOUT SPACE ALIENS OR J.F.K...
OR... THE MILLENNIUM GROUP.
CHERYL ANDREWS WAS
A VALUED COMRADE...
WHO DIED 10 MONTHS AGO
AT HER HOME IN OMAHA.
I WAS AT THE FUNERAL, AS WERE
SEVERAL OTHER GROUP MEMBERS.
IT WAS OPEN CASKET.
YOU CAN ASK HER FAMILY IF
YOU... WANT TO MAKE THAT CALL.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE...
DID YOU FIND WHAT
YOU WERE LOOKING FOR?
I ALREADY HAD IT.
THANK YOU.
YOU'RE TELLING ME HE LINKED 43
DISAPPEARANCES BY READING THE NEWSPAPER?
A LOT OF NEWSPAPERS
AND MAGAZINES.
SCIENTIFIC PERIODICALS,
INTERNET NEWSGROUPS.
HE WITNESSED THE MURDER, AND
IT SHOOK HIM, CHANGED HIS LIFE.
SINCE THEN, HE'S BEEN
OBSESSIVELY RECORDING...
EVERYTHING ABOUT
EVERYONE HE'S COME ACROSS,
MAKING CONNECTIONS,
BUILDING THEORIES,
ONE VICTIM LEADING TO THE NEXT.
CAN HE I.D. THE PERPETRATORS?
YOU KNOW WHO THAT
IS, ANDY. THEY'LL KILL HIM.
YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT, FRANK?
MASS MURDER, BODIES
BOILED DOWN TO SKELETONS.
HE'S DONE HIS PART.
DON'T MAKE HIM TESTIFY.
WELL, I AM NOT GOING TO RELEASE
HIM TO HIS OWN RECOGNIZANCE.
HE'S A NUTCASE. WE'LL
NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN.
I'LL PUT HIM IN THE WITNESS
PROTECTION PROGRAM.
RELEASE HIM, ANDY.
HE'S SAFER ON HIS OWN.
HELLO.
ANYBODY THERE?

YOU TELL ME. DID YOU FIND

YOU KNOW WHO
THEY ARE, DON'T YOU?
YEAH. I USED TO WORK FOR THEM.
- ARE THEY THE GOVERNMENT?
- NOT EXACTLY.
- YOU WORK FOR THE GOVERNMENT?
- YES. SOMETIMES.
STAY DOWN. I MEAN IT.
LISTEN TO ME. DON'T MOVE.
[Door Closes]
[Grunts]
[Gunshot]
[Tires Screeching]
WHATEVER TERRIBLE THING HAPPENED TO THOSE
VICTIMS SADDENS ME AS MUCH AS IT DOES YOU.
YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM.
WE LIVE IN A FREE
AND STABLE SOCIETY,
WHILE ALL AROUND US COUNTRIES ARE
COLLAPSING IN POVERTY, CHAOS, TYRANNY.
THAT'S NO ACCIDENT. IT'S NOT A MATTER
OF LUCK. FORTY-THREE PEOPLE ARE DEAD.
FORTY-THREE THREATS
ARE NOW GONE.
THERE ARE FORCES AT WORK TODAY THAT
COULD EASILY TEAR THIS COUNTRY APART.
TERRIBLE WEAPONS BEING
DEVELOPED, WITH US AS THEIR TARGET.
WHO, AGENT HOLLIS,
IS PREPARED TO DO WHAT IS
NECESSARY TO ASSURE OUR FUTURE?
YOU'LL SEE.
AND THEN WE'LL TALK.
WE'VE RECOVERED A TOTAL OF 42
VICTIMS. FORTY-THREE, I THOUGHT.
UH... NO, 42.
EVEN IF WE DEFINITIVELY
I.D. ALL OF THEM,
THE PROCESS IS GONNA
TAKE MONTHS, MAYBE YEARS.
THE MILLENNIUM GROUP IDENTIFIED A FUNGUS
ON THE BONES UNIQUE TO CENTRAL FLORIDA.
IT'S A VARIETY OF ASPERGILLIUM.
AT THIS POINT, I RECOMMEND THAT
WE SHIFT OUR EFFORTS SOUTHWARD.
DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO
ADD TO THAT, AGENT HOLLIS?
NO, SIR. EXCUSE ME.
DON'T EXPECT ME TO THANK YOU,
BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO KNOW THIS.
KNOW WHAT, EXACTLY? THE TRUTH
DOESN'T REALLY MATTER, DOES IT?
ONLY WHAT YOU CAN PROVE.
OH, THE TRUTH DOES
MATTER, AGENT HOLLIS.
IT DOES.
[Child] I MADE THIS!
