1
00:02:42,030 --> 00:02:44,400
So,you working on a little extra credit?
2
00:02:44,470 --> 00:02:46,480
It's kind of a thought exercise.
3
00:02:46,550 --> 00:02:47,970
About two dozen unsolved murders.
4
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,630
I mean,it looks pretty real to me.
5
00:02:51,730 --> 00:02:55,340
Ever since Don got hurt,I can't
stop thinking every violent act is,
6
00:02:55,410 --> 00:02:57,000
to some degree,explicable.
7
00:02:57,030 --> 00:03:00,280
You got a lot of different M.O.s
here,different victim types:
8
00:03:00,350 --> 00:03:01,680
men,women,children;
9
00:03:01,750 --> 00:03:04,780
shot,stabbed,strangled,bludgeoned.
10
00:03:04,860 --> 00:03:07,550
Three of these are
pedestrian hit-and-runs.
11
00:03:07,620 --> 00:03:09,340
But there is a timeline pattern.
12
00:03:09,370 --> 00:03:11,130
You found a pattern in all this?
13
00:03:11,170 --> 00:03:14,220
Yep. By using some of the same
mathematical concepts that look
14
00:03:14,300 --> 00:03:17,610
for signs of intelligent
life in our universe.
15
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,050
Ah,yeah,of course.
16
00:03:20,530 --> 00:03:23,150
It's not as "out there" as it seems.
17
00:03:23,260 --> 00:03:27,890
The universe creates an endless
background of electromagnetic static.
18
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,800
SETI-- the Search for
Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence--
19
00:03:30,830 --> 00:03:34,610
uses algorithms to sift through
all this random cosmic noise
20
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,260
to find a signal that is
complex yet repetitive,
21
00:03:38,330 --> 00:03:41,510
a non-natural pattern
created by an intelligence.
22
00:03:41,580 --> 00:03:43,800
I've adapted the signal
detection algorithm
23
00:03:43,870 --> 00:03:47,200
to analyze the pattern,and I got...
24
00:03:47,300 --> 00:03:50,020
this spatio-temporal
visualization model.
25
00:03:50,090 --> 00:03:52,030
Its sequence is half lunar.
26
00:03:52,100 --> 00:03:54,550
It's indicative of a
recurring emotional need,
27
00:03:54,660 --> 00:03:56,840
buffered by planning and surveillance.
28
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,190
Okay,but if the M.O.s and
the victims are all different?
29
00:04:00,260 --> 00:04:02,450
He's a different type of serial killer.
30
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:04,800
All right.
31
00:04:06,570 --> 00:04:08,170
He's working on a theory.
32
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,090
Serial killer nobody's noticed but him.
33
00:04:11,130 --> 00:04:13,300
How does he figure?
34
00:04:13,380 --> 00:04:15,910
Signals from deep space.
35
00:04:16,010 --> 00:04:18,760
Seems a little outside
the box even for Charlie.
36
00:04:18,790 --> 00:04:23,850
Yeah,thing is,a few years ago,Don got shot
at a bank robbery that Charlie had predicted.
37
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,890
He retreated to his garage,
38
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,700
and he buried himself in
an unsolvable math problem.
39
00:04:28,780 --> 00:04:31,040
He's been in here 24/7
the past five days.
40
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,420
You know,there's a symptom of post traumatic
stress disorder called hypervigilance.
41
00:04:34,460 --> 00:04:39,410
Means you're always looking out for potential
danger and threats,thinking you see it.
42
00:04:39,450 --> 00:04:41,450
And 's not really there.
43
00:04:55,150 --> 00:04:56,060
Trying to scare me to death.
44
00:04:56,130 --> 00:04:59,950
What are you doing at the FBI
till 3:00 in the morning? Nothing.
45
00:05:00,020 --> 00:05:02,160
Nothing,huh?
46
00:05:02,660 --> 00:05:04,980
You're working some serial case.
47
00:05:05,090 --> 00:05:06,240
David told me.
48
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,340
He thinks I'm overreacting?
49
00:05:08,370 --> 00:05:11,180
Charlie,hey,this isn't your fault.
50
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:12,300
I know that.
51
00:05:12,370 --> 00:05:14,550
Well,you got to move on.
52
00:05:14,620 --> 00:05:16,190
Since when have you ever moved on?
53
00:05:16,260 --> 00:05:18,000
Since I got stabbed.
54
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,600
Sooner or later,we're both gonna have
to learn we can't solve every problem.
55
00:05:40,180 --> 00:05:42,470

Season 05 episode 21
59
00:05:56,450 --> 00:05:59,010
Ah,Betancourt,thanks for coming.
60
00:05:59,150 --> 00:06:01,050
Yeah,no problem,JJ. What'd you got?
61
00:06:01,090 --> 00:06:05,850
Postal worker halfway through his rounds
popped in the head,small-caliber,close-range.
62
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,160
And what's he doing in the alley?
63
00:06:07,230 --> 00:06:10,190
A resident says he uses
the alleyway as a shortcut.
64
00:06:10,230 --> 00:06:12,020
Maybe somebody knew his routine
65
00:06:12,090 --> 00:06:14,980
But your guy's working on that angle.
66
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:16,260
My guy?
67
00:06:16,330 --> 00:06:18,260
Yeah,the professor.
68
00:06:18,330 --> 00:06:20,450
He's yours,isn't he?
69
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,770
Yeah. Yeah,he's ours.
70
00:06:23,210 --> 00:06:24,650
Well,the pattern isn't perfect.
71
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,020
I mean,there are micro-clusters
that are currently anomalous.
72
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:32,280
But the overall pattern is extraordinarily
regular,which is indicative...
73
00:06:32,350 --> 00:06:34,450
How many murders in a micro-cluster?
74
00:06:34,490 --> 00:06:35,790
Two. Mostly.
75
00:06:35,820 --> 00:06:37,650
Sometimes three. That's very micro.
76
00:06:37,710 --> 00:06:39,130
David,those are outliers.
77
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,410
The macro-pattern is
persistent,statistically valid.
78
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,480
Charlie,we both started here on
the same case five years ago.Okay?
79
00:06:47,550 --> 00:06:49,280
You know I'm a believer in what you do.
80
00:06:49,390 --> 00:06:50,390
And I'm asking for a lot.
81
00:06:50,460 --> 00:06:53,060
Working your theory would
take hundreds of man-hours.
82
00:06:53,130 --> 00:06:55,470
Everybody's already
busy on confirmed crimes;
83
00:06:55,540 --> 00:06:59,170
if I tried to reassign agents to work a
serial case that had no serial elements,
84
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:05,220
outside of a timeline pattern discovered
by a mathematician,I mean,I'd get fired.
85
00:07:05,350 --> 00:07:06,810
This is what he's counting on.
86
00:07:06,890 --> 00:07:07,500
Excuse me?
87
00:07:07,570 --> 00:07:10,410
He knows serial killers get
caught because of patterns,
88
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,540
telltale traits,compulsive behavior,
89
00:07:12,610 --> 00:07:18,430
so he switches his M.O.s,his
weapons,victim types on purpose.
90
00:07:18,500 --> 00:07:21,980
No repetitive behavior means no pattern.
91
00:07:22,050 --> 00:07:25,300
No reason to expend law
enforcement resources to find one.
92
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,980
All right,what do you
want me to do,Charlie?
93
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,880
SETI telescopes--
always gathering data.
94
00:07:30,950 --> 00:07:32,190
I need more data.
95
00:07:32,220 --> 00:07:34,360
I'll take anything you can give me.
96
00:07:34,900 --> 00:07:36,110
Okay,all right.
97
00:07:36,140 --> 00:07:39,800
There's a lot of amateur work
being done for serial killer data,
98
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,230
and some of it is
surprisingly comprehensive.
99
00:07:42,300 --> 00:07:43,370
Amateur work. Yeah.
100
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,370
There's a guy we worked
with on a recent case.
101
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,290
You should meet him.
102
00:07:52,130 --> 00:07:52,970
Good afternoon.
103
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:54,930
Hah? Hi. I'm...
104
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,130
Oh! Professor!
105
00:07:56,170 --> 00:07:56,910
Welcome.
106
00:07:56,980 --> 00:07:59,010
Roy McGill. Oh,welcome!
107
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:00,580
Hi. Such a pleasure.
108
00:08:00,610 --> 00:08:02,200
Hey,would you mind locking up?
109
00:08:02,230 --> 00:08:03,740
Thanks,buddy.
110
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:04,960
Certainly.
111
00:08:05,060 --> 00:08:07,710
Please forgive the,uh,concrete decor.
112
00:08:07,820 --> 00:08:11,230
Nature of my work requires
an enhanced level of security.
113
00:08:15,100 --> 00:08:18,070
Welcome to the Truth Cave.
114
00:08:18,170 --> 00:08:21,780
You like it? Pretty cool,right?
115
00:08:21,850 --> 00:08:23,850
Pretty cool.
116
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:24,970
You hungry?
117
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:26,130
I'm fine. Okay.
118
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,580
Oh! You got to hear this.
119
00:08:28,660 --> 00:08:30,500
Heads up.
120
00:08:31,270 --> 00:08:33,060
Watch this. Wait for it.
121
00:08:33,100 --> 00:08:36,140
Wait for it. This'll be good.
122
00:08:36,170 --> 00:08:38,080
You know what that
is? 'Course you don't.
123
00:08:38,110 --> 00:08:41,590
That's a sound recording of a
UFO from a Russian friend of mine.
124
00:08:41,630 --> 00:08:42,840
Code name: Teeger Woods.
125
00:08:42,870 --> 00:08:45,800
Like Tiger Woods,or not.Huh?
126
00:08:45,860 --> 00:08:48,150
Art Bell's gonna run
it on his show tonight.
127
00:08:48,220 --> 00:08:52,130
Actually,I'm,um,I'm just
here to talk to you about...
128
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:53,800
Serial killer,right?
129
00:08:53,870 --> 00:08:54,870
You know how I knew that?
130
00:08:54,910 --> 00:08:56,000
I have ESP.
131
00:08:56,030 --> 00:08:58,250
I don't have ESP. I'm
totally messing with you.
132
00:08:58,290 --> 00:09:00,840
Agent Sinclair told me. Oh!
133
00:09:00,910 --> 00:09:02,460
Freakin' awesome,man!
134
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,860
I always knew you and
I were gonna team up.
135
00:09:04,890 --> 00:09:07,430
I always knew it. I'm really
just here to collect some data...
136
00:09:07,500 --> 00:09:09,530
I'm a little surprised
it took the FBI so long.
137
00:09:09,610 --> 00:09:11,490
I mean,I've only got the
sixth most popular blog
138
00:09:11,560 --> 00:09:13,150
on serial killers.
139
00:09:13,220 --> 00:09:14,860
Oh. Do you want this seat?
140
00:09:14,900 --> 00:09:15,560
I'm fine.
141
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:16,510
Oh,so am I.
142
00:09:16,540 --> 00:09:17,900
It's pretty comfortable.
143
00:09:17,970 --> 00:09:21,520
Hey,look at this.
144
00:09:21,550 --> 00:09:26,730
So, I found two murders that fit
into your, huh, timeline pattern.
145
00:09:26,770 --> 00:09:33,500
I tried to find things that fit into the,
spatio-tempura that Agent Sinclair sent me.
146
00:09:33,570 --> 00:09:35,700
By the look of it,I
didn't do a good job.
147
00:09:35,770 --> 00:09:38,360
I was really hoping to
find more data than this.
148
00:09:38,430 --> 00:09:39,920
Not a problem.
149
00:09:40,020 --> 00:09:43,240
Not... a... problem.
150
00:09:43,390 --> 00:09:45,540
And we're off!
151
00:09:46,790 --> 00:09:48,860
Where are we going?
152
00:09:48,930 --> 00:09:51,450
Serial killer data central.
153
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:52,930
Yeah!
154
00:09:54,700 --> 00:09:56,050
Gene Evans.It's a pleasure.
155
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,020
You guys should
have,like,some sort of,like,
156
00:09:58,130 --> 00:09:59,580
you know,crazy,math handshake.
157
00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:02,060
Gene's into numbers,too.
Gene's an accountant.
158
00:10:02,210 --> 00:10:03,650
Mm,retired.
159
00:10:03,990 --> 00:10:09,420
Uh,and,tabulating taxes hardly qualifies
as math the way Professor Eppes knows it.
160
00:10:09,490 --> 00:10:10,540
Gene is part
of a network--
161
00:10:10,570 --> 00:10:12,520
amateurs who help with
police investigations.
162
00:10:12,560 --> 00:10:17,530
The number of missing persons and unsolved
murders can overwhelm most agencies,
163
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,650
so there's hundreds of us
around the country,and we...
164
00:10:20,690 --> 00:10:23,200
gather and tabulate
data as much as we can.
165
00:10:23,270 --> 00:10:27,840
Gene solved four missing person cases in
California and a murder case in Oregon.
166
00:10:27,950 --> 00:10:30,840
Well,"assisted" would
be closer to the truth.
167
00:10:30,910 --> 00:10:32,950
But the fact is,I stopped.
168
00:10:33,030 --> 00:10:36,120
Couple of years ago,I got
a bunch of phone calls,
169
00:10:36,190 --> 00:10:38,380
probably just cranks,but
it spooked the wife.
170
00:10:38,420 --> 00:10:42,200
Well,any information you can provide
would be much appreciated here,Gene.
171
00:10:42,270 --> 00:10:45,330
When Roy described your theory...
172
00:10:45,370 --> 00:10:47,110
something came to mind.
173
00:10:47,180 --> 00:10:49,070
These aren't L.A.-area cases.
174
00:10:49,100 --> 00:10:53,420
They're all from up near
Fresno and Bakersfield.
175
00:10:53,460 --> 00:10:54,640
And several years ago.
176
00:10:54,680 --> 00:11:00,110
Yeah,but... the time patterns,the
knowledge of the victims' routines,
177
00:11:00,180 --> 00:11:01,280
uh,very similar.
178
00:11:01,310 --> 00:11:03,830
And-and then there's this.
179
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,640
That's a constrictor knot.
180
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,900
Simple and secure,
181
00:11:11,930 --> 00:11:15,880
but once you get it tight,it's
very difficult to untie.
182
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,200
Same knot was used in five of
the cases you're looking into.
183
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,470
Whoa. Freaky.
184
00:11:21,540 --> 00:11:23,630
- Have you shown any of this to the police?
- Yes.
185
00:11:23,690 --> 00:11:25,330
A detective up in Bakersfield.
186
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,220
Brent Driscoll.
187
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,320
Charlie,you're living and
working out of boxes now.
188
00:11:34,390 --> 00:11:36,600
You've become a previous
incarnation of me.
189
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,850
What's taking you so long?
190
00:11:38,890 --> 00:11:39,850
Do you need some help?
191
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,290
I'm too busy.
192
00:11:41,330 --> 00:11:43,130
I need to find the missing pieces here.
193
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,840
Make one mistake,people get hurt.
194
00:11:46,550 --> 00:11:47,960
Cognitive emergence work.
195
00:11:48,030 --> 00:11:50,870
God,you haven't even touched
this since Don's injury.
196
00:11:50,940 --> 00:11:53,260
Have you ever considered
this might be an overreaction?
197
00:11:53,330 --> 00:11:54,580
My theory's correct.
198
00:11:54,650 --> 00:11:57,880
If you want to say that this is a
reaction to Don's situation, go ahead.
199
00:11:57,950 --> 00:12:01,020
No,I mean,come on,you're
an applied mathematician.
200
00:12:01,090 --> 00:12:03,860
You're applying math to a problem.
201
00:12:04,220 --> 00:12:07,200
And there's something to be
said for cathartic endeavors.
202
00:12:07,230 --> 00:12:09,590
Well,let's say,for hypothetical reasons,
203
00:12:09,660 --> 00:12:10,650
that I'm not crazy,
204
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,240
that my timeline pattern is correct.
205
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,860
Let's say that there is a serial
killer who has avoided detection.
206
00:12:16,930 --> 00:12:18,350
Why the anomalies in the timeline?
207
00:12:18,420 --> 00:12:19,990
Why the micro-clusters?
208
00:12:20,060 --> 00:12:20,980
What am I missing?
209
00:12:21,090 --> 00:12:24,670
Well,whatever is missing
lies beyond all of this.
210
00:12:24,740 --> 00:12:31,700
You seek to quantify a single individual
in some elegant,mathematical pattern.
211
00:12:31,770 --> 00:12:34,820
But the universe is full of
all these odd bumps and twists.
212
00:12:34,890 --> 00:12:36,270
And so are people.
213
00:12:36,300 --> 00:12:41,450
Now,perhaps your approach needs to
be less elegant,more complicated.
214
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,460
Haven't we had this conversation before?
215
00:12:44,740 --> 00:12:47,400
Well,now,cosmologically speaking,
216
00:12:47,430 --> 00:12:50,890
everything that happens
has happened before.
217
00:12:57,630 --> 00:12:58,460
Can I help you find something?
218
00:12:58,570 --> 00:13:01,440
Yeah,I think I left
something in here,some files.
219
00:13:01,510 --> 00:13:03,750
For your serial killer case?
220
00:13:03,820 --> 00:13:06,150
It's an office; people talk.
221
00:13:06,220 --> 00:13:07,830
So everyone thinks I'm crazy.
222
00:13:07,870 --> 00:13:10,110
You know about Kim Rossmo?
223
00:13:10,180 --> 00:13:12,190
Canadian detective,mathematician.
224
00:13:12,220 --> 00:13:15,530
His work on geographic
profiling was,was groundbreaking.
225
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,550
Rossmo identified the same type of
serial killer as you're looking for--
226
00:13:18,580 --> 00:13:21,450
one that deliberately hides
any signs of a criminal pattern.
227
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,130
He called them stealth predators.
228
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,420
They try to commit crimes in such a way
229
00:13:25,450 --> 00:13:27,460
that authorities
aren't even aware of it.
230
00:13:27,530 --> 00:13:28,760
Really?
231
00:13:28,870 --> 00:13:31,460
In Vancouver,he did something
a lot like what you're doing--
232
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,680
working only off of a pattern.
233
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,280
The police didn't believe
his theory that a cluster
234
00:13:36,310 --> 00:13:38,000
of disappearances was the
work of a single killer.
235
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:39,770
So they fire Rossmo.
236
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,170
Ten more deaths later,
237
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:42,720
they realize that he's right.
238
00:13:42,790 --> 00:13:43,800
So they caught the killer
239
00:13:43,830 --> 00:13:46,900
with 31 bodies buried on his property.
240
00:13:47,730 --> 00:13:49,820
I'd love to see Rossmo's methodology.
241
00:13:49,860 --> 00:13:54,400
Had a feeling you might be interested.
242
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:57,650
Thanks, Matt.
243
00:14:18,790 --> 00:14:21,720
You're in my spot here.
244
00:14:21,790 --> 00:14:23,200
I fell asleep.
245
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:24,680
I just had the worst dream.
246
00:14:24,750 --> 00:14:26,470
I wonder why.
247
00:14:26,970 --> 00:14:28,820
What are you doing here?
248
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:30,640
I like it here.
249
00:14:32,430 --> 00:14:33,580
I don't know what it is,you know?
250
00:14:33,650 --> 00:14:35,420
I been shot. I been beaten.
251
00:14:35,490 --> 00:14:37,060
How many sports did I play as a kid?
252
00:14:37,090 --> 00:14:38,460
And I-I've never been
laid up like this.
253
00:14:38,530 --> 00:14:40,150
You got stabbed.
254
00:14:40,470 --> 00:14:42,780
How can you be so calm about it?
255
00:14:43,530 --> 00:14:46,290
Well,I mean,I survived,for one thing.
256
00:14:47,730 --> 00:14:49,030
Who are you?
257
00:14:49,230 --> 00:14:51,250
What have you done with my brother?
258
00:14:52,660 --> 00:14:53,460
I don't know, Charlie.
259
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,350
All I can tell you is I feel like
260
00:14:55,420 --> 00:14:57,260
job just doesn't owe me anymore.
261
00:14:57,330 --> 00:14:57,990
Yeah?
262
00:14:58,030 --> 00:15:00,920
Well,that's got to be the meds talking.
263
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:02,040
Where you going?
264
00:15:02,110 --> 00:15:03,480
I might as well work.
265
00:15:03,510 --> 00:15:06,140
I don't want to have
another dream like that one.
266
00:15:20,300 --> 00:15:21,840
Charles?
267
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,160
Hey.
268
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,500
Um,is everything okay?
269
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,920
My search for a non-random
signal has revealed
270
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,140
not only an intelligence,
271
00:15:35,210 --> 00:15:38,380
but an extremely careful
and shrewd intelligence.
272
00:15:38,450 --> 00:15:40,310
It's not one area; it's three.
273
00:15:40,380 --> 00:15:41,490
He moves.
274
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:42,900
What,the serial killer?
275
00:15:42,970 --> 00:15:44,580
Yeah. It became apparent when I combined
276
00:15:44,660 --> 00:15:46,840
Gene Evans' data with
Kim Rossmo's methodology
277
00:15:46,910 --> 00:15:49,290
that this killer is a stealth predator.
278
00:15:49,350 --> 00:15:51,710
He knows that too many murders
in one area gets attention,
279
00:15:51,740 --> 00:15:53,290
and so he moves.
280
00:15:53,330 --> 00:15:54,300
Terrific.
281
00:15:54,340 --> 00:15:56,050
A super-smart killer.
282
00:15:56,090 --> 00:15:58,090
Who's struck three times in 18 years,
283
00:15:58,130 --> 00:15:59,870
starting in northern California,
284
00:15:59,940 --> 00:16:02,570
and then the Fresno-Bakersfield area,
285
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,860
and now he's here.
286
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,600
It's good to see you.
287
00:16:14,060 --> 00:16:14,920
Bye.
288
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,990
You do realize 7:00 is an inhuman
hour to be calling somebody.
289
00:16:28,030 --> 00:16:29,040
We're very close,Roy.
290
00:16:29,070 --> 00:16:30,300
I just need a little more data,
291
00:16:30,330 --> 00:16:31,630
and I'm thinking Gene's gonna have it.
292
00:16:31,700 --> 00:16:35,730
Oh,man,this is gonna blow the doors
off the Zodiac,Bundy,the Red Ripper.
293
00:16:44,230 --> 00:16:45,650
Gene?
294
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,430
Martha?
295
00:16:49,650 --> 00:16:50,600
Hello?
296
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:58,680
Let's check the garage.
297
00:17:02,500 --> 00:17:03,990
Well,car's still here.
298
00:17:11,500 --> 00:17:13,650
Oh,my God. Oh,my God.
299
00:17:21,980 --> 00:17:24,990
Gene Evans and his wife
don't fit the macro-pattern.
300
00:17:25,060 --> 00:17:27,160
They fit the pattern of micro-clusters.
301
00:17:27,230 --> 00:17:30,410
What interests me is that Evans
collected data on the killings.
302
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,970
Police interviewed a witness who was driving by
the Evans' house near the time of the killing.
303
00:17:34,030 --> 00:17:38,590
This is the description he gave of a man
he saw walking across their front yard.
304
00:17:39,860 --> 00:17:41,620
Uh,David,sheriff's homicide's asking
305
00:17:41,660 --> 00:17:43,040
if we're working the
Evans murder with them.
306
00:17:43,110 --> 00:17:46,090
Tell them we're looking at it for
a possible link to an FBI case.
307
00:17:46,120 --> 00:17:46,990
Okay.
308
00:17:47,070 --> 00:17:48,650
Do I tell them we suspect a serial?
309
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,710
No. Not yet.
310
00:17:50,780 --> 00:17:51,610
First,we need to see if anybody
311
00:17:51,690 --> 00:17:55,370
had an ordinary motive
for killing Gene Evans.
312
00:17:56,170 --> 00:17:57,570
Want to be sure.
313
00:17:58,970 --> 00:18:02,260
My brother Gene and his
wife Martha were good people.
314
00:18:03,540 --> 00:18:05,390
What happened to them is wrong.
315
00:18:05,460 --> 00:18:08,490
Is there anyone who
would want to hurt them?
316
00:18:08,530 --> 00:18:10,850
I thought you knew about that already.
317
00:18:10,890 --> 00:18:15,730
Former client said Gene me a mistake on
his taxes,cost him his life savings.
318
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,680
He threatened my brother.
319
00:18:17,790 --> 00:18:20,060
They had to get a restraining order.
320
00:18:20,100 --> 00:18:22,400
There's police reports and everything.
321
00:18:22,430 --> 00:18:23,460
The guy's a nut.
322
00:18:23,530 --> 00:18:24,720
What's this guy's name?
323
00:18:24,790 --> 00:18:26,630
Mark Horn.
324
00:18:29,030 --> 00:18:31,330
He said you saw someone
outside the Evans' house
325
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,410
the night that he and
his wife were killed.
326
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,010
Now,could this be the man?
327
00:18:35,120 --> 00:18:37,220
It was dark.
328
00:18:37,290 --> 00:18:40,170
And,like I told the
sheriff's detectives,you know,
329
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,560
he had a jacket on
with the hood pulled up.
330
00:18:43,630 --> 00:18:45,240
But...
331
00:18:45,310 --> 00:18:47,630
yeah,that looks like him.
332
00:18:48,190 --> 00:18:49,220
Thank you.
333
00:18:50,390 --> 00:18:53,360
Uh,that guy,have you arrested him yet?
334
00:18:54,260 --> 00:18:57,060
Guys,what about me and my family?
335
00:18:57,170 --> 00:18:59,480
Are we gonna be a target now?
336
00:19:08,910 --> 00:19:09,410
Who are you?
337
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:10,660
Why you going through Charlie's stuff?
338
00:19:10,730 --> 00:19:12,710
I happen to be Professor
Lawrence Fleinrdt,
339
00:19:12,750 --> 00:19:15,890
holder of the Walter T. Merrick Chair in Theoretical Physics.
340
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:17,230
Oh,yeah? Can you prove it?
341
00:19:17,260 --> 00:19:19,030
Yes,if you'd care to hear a lecture on
342
00:19:19,070 --> 00:19:22,020
the photoelectric properties
of Ly-Alpha emitters
343
00:19:22,090 --> 00:19:23,970
in a QZ2 plane universe.
344
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,290
I-I have no idea what just happened.
345
00:19:26,360 --> 00:19:28,340
But why are you going
through Charlie's stuff?
346
00:19:28,410 --> 00:19:30,480
Because,my young friend,I think I have
347
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,750
a Green Lantern book in here somewhere.
348
00:19:32,790 --> 00:19:35,120
Green Lantern!
349
00:19:35,540 --> 00:19:38,150
In brightest day,in blackest night...
350
00:19:38,790 --> 00:19:40,960
No evil shall escape my sight.
351
00:19:41,030 --> 00:19:41,880
Sight!
352
00:19:41,950 --> 00:19:43,630
I love the Lant.
353
00:19:43,670 --> 00:19:45,340
Oh. Yeah.
354
00:19:45,370 --> 00:19:46,820
Yeah. Charlie and I,we're,uh,
355
00:19:46,860 --> 00:19:48,440
we're investigating a
little FBI case. Shh.
356
00:19:48,510 --> 00:19:50,230
Keep it on the D.L.
357
00:19:50,260 --> 00:19:53,420
Oh,wait,so you must be the
consultant,uh,who specialize in,
358
00:19:53,490 --> 00:19:55,510
well,let's call them
unusual explanations.
359
00:19:55,580 --> 00:19:58,890
I think the Bureau refers to
me as "the conspiracy nut."
360
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,310
Some of the history's greatest minds
361
00:20:00,340 --> 00:20:04,150
have been rejected by society at large.
362
00:20:04,460 --> 00:20:06,120
Whoa,you're one of us!
363
00:20:06,190 --> 00:20:09,070
Well,actually,I prefer
the term "conspiracist."
364
00:20:09,140 --> 00:20:11,020
I drop the word "nut" altogether.
365
00:20:11,120 --> 00:20:14,660
For example,I don't put too
much stock in cryptozoology.
366
00:20:14,700 --> 00:20:16,050
Oh,well,you should take a look at
367
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:17,210
my,uh,Bigfoot Web site sometime.
368
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,410
You'll be singing a
whole different tune.
369
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,440
It's the same old lyric: silly
men dressed up in gorilla suits.
370
00:20:22,620 --> 00:20:23,940
Oh,Charlie! Hey,good timing.
371
00:20:23,970 --> 00:20:25,860
Oh,I got something
important to show you.
372
00:20:25,930 --> 00:20:27,940
Why don't you,uh,step into my office.
373
00:20:28,010 --> 00:20:29,880
Your office. I was
just kidding with you.
374
00:20:29,950 --> 00:20:31,140
So,I took a look at
375
00:20:31,210 --> 00:20:33,500
your whole three-area idea,
376
00:20:33,570 --> 00:20:35,810
and I think I might have
identified a victim zero.
377
00:20:35,910 --> 00:20:37,290
High school girl
378
00:20:37,360 --> 00:20:38,920
murdered in 1988.
379
00:20:38,990 --> 00:20:41,610
Nancy Kershaw,17.
380
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,040
Found in a wooded area
near a public park.
381
00:20:43,120 --> 00:20:44,230
What's your criteria
382
00:20:44,310 --> 00:20:46,240
for identifying her as a victim zero?
383
00:20:46,310 --> 00:20:48,020
My cr-- for
identifying...
384
00:20:48,090 --> 00:20:49,680
I love your hair,by the way.
385
00:20:51,330 --> 00:20:54,360
I took the earliest of the
three areas you identified--
386
00:20:54,430 --> 00:20:58,200
Stockton-- and I,uh,looked
for previous murders.
387
00:20:58,530 --> 00:21:01,760
If I may,you know,not all
people murdered in that area
388
00:21:01,790 --> 00:21:03,410
can be linked to a cluster.
389
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:04,580
This guy--
he's good.
390
00:21:04,610 --> 00:21:06,060
I got a copy of the M.E.'s report.
391
00:21:06,120 --> 00:21:07,310
Check it out.
392
00:21:09,430 --> 00:21:10,460
Constrictor knot.
393
00:21:10,490 --> 00:21:12,440
But that's not unique
to all these cases.
394
00:21:12,540 --> 00:21:14,410
If she is Victim Zero,
395
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,880
serial killers will often start
with somebody that they know
396
00:21:16,950 --> 00:21:18,490
or live close to.
397
00:21:18,910 --> 00:21:20,050
It's true.
398
00:21:20,120 --> 00:21:22,100
Nancy Kershaw had a boyfriend.
399
00:21:22,140 --> 00:21:23,490
A week after she was killed,
400
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,190
somebody claiming to be
the murderer called him up,
401
00:21:25,260 --> 00:21:27,280
threatened to kill him,too.
402
00:21:28,390 --> 00:21:29,700
I'm good.
403
00:21:29,770 --> 00:21:33,280
Guys,I should be doing
this for a living.
404
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,710
Gene Evans' disgruntled client
Mark Horn used a credit card
405
00:21:37,780 --> 00:21:41,750
at a gas station three miles from the
Evans' house on the night of the murders.
406
00:21:41,820 --> 00:21:44,110
Might not be good for
Charlie's serial theory.
407
00:21:44,180 --> 00:21:46,200
But it's good for solving
Evans' murder case.
408
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:57,600
Mark Horn.
409
00:21:57,910 --> 00:21:59,800
I didn't do anything wrong!
410
00:22:00,050 --> 00:22:01,540
You got no reason to arrest me!
411
00:22:01,610 --> 00:22:05,930
Oh,yeah? Well,I guess we have a
difference of opinion. Come on.
412
00:22:07,110 --> 00:22:08,600
I was watching my daughter.
413
00:22:08,670 --> 00:22:10,060
You aren't allowed around your daughter
414
00:22:10,090 --> 00:22:11,230
without her mother's permission.
415
00:22:11,300 --> 00:22:14,400
She is my daughter! Damn it.
416
00:22:14,470 --> 00:22:16,050
Why'd you lose custody?
417
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,220
My wife didn't understand that
I have to fight for what is mine.
418
00:22:19,290 --> 00:22:20,180
Gene Evans.
419
00:22:20,210 --> 00:22:21,730
He had a restraining
order out against you.
420
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:22,500
You violated it.
421
00:22:22,570 --> 00:22:26,910
Yeah,I wound up in a county
jail when I am the victim!
422
00:22:26,970 --> 00:22:30,550
I am not the one they
should be locking up.
423
00:22:30,590 --> 00:22:31,790
Who is?
424
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:33,640
Gene Evans.
425
00:22:33,710 --> 00:22:34,860
Evans is dead.
426
00:22:34,930 --> 00:22:37,970
You went to his house
the night he was killed.
427
00:22:40,220 --> 00:22:42,010
I only drove by.
428
00:22:42,120 --> 00:22:44,020
Evans got that restraining
order out against you
429
00:22:44,090 --> 00:22:45,990
because you broke into his home.
430
00:22:46,060 --> 00:22:47,370
I needed his records.
431
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,660
I didn't kill him!
432
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,130
I needed him.
433
00:22:53,740 --> 00:22:57,390
Help me make the case with the IRS.
434
00:23:04,970 --> 00:23:06,910
Charlie's not here. I know.
435
00:23:06,980 --> 00:23:11,250
He's in his office running
another statistical analysis
436
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,070
on his serial killer data.
437
00:23:13,140 --> 00:23:14,350
He can be pretty obsessive.
438
00:23:14,420 --> 00:23:15,840
You can never get through to
him when he gets like this.
439
00:23:15,910 --> 00:23:18,810
The only way is to find
a flaw in his analysis,
440
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,180
you know,prove he's not
following a valid line.
441
00:23:22,030 --> 00:23:24,950
I went over his work looking for errors.
442
00:23:25,020 --> 00:23:28,520
I think there's a good reason
for Charlie to be obsessed.
443
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,770
All right,why don't you
talk me through it then?
444
00:23:35,630 --> 00:23:38,790
Mark Horn threatened Gene
Evans,broke into his home.
445
00:23:38,860 --> 00:23:40,620
We can place him in the
vicinity of the murder.
446
00:23:40,690 --> 00:23:42,320
Can you link him to
any of the other deaths?
447
00:23:42,390 --> 00:23:44,420
No,he was out of the
country for one cluster,
448
00:23:44,450 --> 00:23:46,860
in another state for another one.
449
00:23:46,930 --> 00:23:49,850
I just looked at those interrogation
tapes. There's no way that's the guy.
450
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:51,050
Based on what?
451
00:23:51,120 --> 00:23:54,250
Based on the fact that he was
arrested for harassing Evans.
452
00:23:54,290 --> 00:23:55,400
I mean,if he's gonna kill him,
453
00:23:55,470 --> 00:23:56,860
he's knows were gonna come after him.
454
00:23:56,890 --> 00:23:59,030
Right,but Horn didn't
try to leave the area
455
00:23:59,100 --> 00:24:00,660
or conceal his whereabouts.
456
00:24:00,730 --> 00:24:03,010
Well,Amita showed me this work
she's doing on your timeline,
457
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:04,510
and it answered some questions.
458
00:24:04,580 --> 00:24:05,580
You say he's careful.
459
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,820
He plans his attacks.
He scouts his victims.
460
00:24:07,890 --> 00:24:10,460
So why kill Evans without
the usual interval?
461
00:24:10,530 --> 00:24:12,890
For the same reason he kills this guy:
462
00:24:13,100 --> 00:24:14,740
'cause he's careful.
463
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:15,770
The killer didn't know
464
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,860
that this postal carrier would
be running three hours late.
465
00:24:18,900 --> 00:24:20,810
Which means that the mailman saw
466
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,740
the killer at the house
of the last murder.
467
00:24:22,810 --> 00:24:26,570
Okay,so he kills the mailman
as a witness,but why Evans?
468
00:24:26,650 --> 00:24:29,850
Why? Because two days before
he dies,he goes online,
469
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,360
said he's gonna start up
with his detective work again.
470
00:24:32,430 --> 00:24:34,500
And the killer decided to stop him.
471
00:24:34,570 --> 00:24:36,300
So the micro-clusters happen
472
00:24:36,370 --> 00:24:39,120
when the killer covers his tracks.
473
00:24:39,350 --> 00:24:42,100
We don't have hard evidence.
It's all circumstantial.
474
00:24:42,130 --> 00:24:43,040
And statistics.
475
00:24:43,110 --> 00:24:45,740
And the pattern,which
indicates another attack
476
00:24:45,810 --> 00:24:47,100
within the next 48 hours.
477
00:24:47,130 --> 00:24:48,660
I say we move now.
478
00:24:48,730 --> 00:24:51,100
I'll take responsibility.
479
00:24:51,550 --> 00:24:53,630
Okay,you all heard the man on desk duty.
480
00:24:53,710 --> 00:24:55,530
Let's get to it.
481
00:25:02,430 --> 00:25:03,950
The one important constant,
482
00:25:04,020 --> 00:25:06,610
his careful stalking
of potential victims,
483
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:07,900
sometimes for weeks.
484
00:25:07,930 --> 00:25:10,630
There are often police reports
of prowlers and peeping Toms
485
00:25:10,710 --> 00:25:11,760
prior to the killings.
486
00:25:11,830 --> 00:25:12,680
And yet you say he's careful?
487
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,260
I think he likes to spook his victims,
488
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,420
let them catch glimpses of him.
489
00:25:16,450 --> 00:25:17,870
And even if they call the police...
490
00:25:17,940 --> 00:25:19,810
Prowler reports aren't
taken as serious threats.
491
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:21,460
Well,if he's gonna kill again,
492
00:25:21,530 --> 00:25:24,550
maybe there'll be new prowler
reports and attempted break-ins.
493
00:25:24,620 --> 00:25:26,860
In L.A. alone,here have
to be hundreds a week.
494
00:25:26,890 --> 00:25:28,180
The most likely target
495
00:25:28,250 --> 00:25:30,800
is a couple in their mid-30s
496
00:25:30,830 --> 00:25:33,260
within an area of elevated
geographic probabilities.
497
00:25:33,300 --> 00:25:35,660
Single-family
residence,no locked gates,
498
00:25:35,730 --> 00:25:36,830
no alarm systems.
499
00:25:36,860 --> 00:25:39,830
A place to conceal a
vehicle,access to a major roadway.
500
00:25:39,860 --> 00:25:42,400
That gives us a starting point.
501
00:25:46,220 --> 00:25:49,760
In your analysis,you,uh,you
left out Victim Zero.
502
00:25:49,830 --> 00:25:51,340
Well,that's because I don't
think that there's enough
503
00:25:51,410 --> 00:25:53,420
to link Nancy Kershaw to the clusters.
504
00:25:53,460 --> 00:25:57,770
See,I kinda have to agree with Roy here.
505
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,380
I share his interest
in this Victim Zero.
506
00:26:00,450 --> 00:26:01,300
See?
507
00:26:01,340 --> 00:26:04,070
You see that? Physics guy thinks
there's something to my idea.
508
00:26:04,140 --> 00:26:05,710
Well,now just consider,Charles,
509
00:26:05,790 --> 00:26:07,850
you don't include Nancy Kershaw
510
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,230
because she doesn't
seem to fit your pattern.
511
00:26:10,300 --> 00:26:13,740
But is that really a
reason to exclude data?
512
00:26:13,780 --> 00:26:15,560
Do you think her death
tells us something?
513
00:26:15,630 --> 00:26:18,800
Well,you know when we look at
the light from distant stars,
514
00:26:18,830 --> 00:26:21,900
we look at the past,millions,maybe
billions of years ago.
515
00:26:21,940 --> 00:26:24,490
That's how long it took that
light to reach the Earth.
516
00:26:24,530 --> 00:26:27,570
And yet,the undisputed 1862 UFO sighting
517
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,530
during the battle of Vicksburg
518
00:26:29,570 --> 00:26:33,770
proves that extraterrestrials have
mastered superluminal velocity.
519
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:35,190
Just returning to the point here,
520
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,460
if Nancy Kershaw is the first victim,
521
00:26:37,530 --> 00:26:39,590
that tells us things about the killer
522
00:26:39,660 --> 00:26:43,940
that he was very careful to
hide in subsequent crimes.
523
00:26:44,010 --> 00:26:46,890
She was in his orbit,so to speak.
524
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:48,060
Right,right. And remember,
525
00:26:48,090 --> 00:26:50,210
if our guy did kill
her,then he's the same guy
526
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,130
who called up the boyfriend
and threatened to kill him,too.
527
00:26:52,210 --> 00:26:56,540
So somebody out there
has heard his voice.
528
00:26:56,610 --> 00:27:00,080
All right,find out what you can
from the conspiracy community,
529
00:27:00,150 --> 00:27:02,610
and I'll get the FBI on it.
530
00:27:02,830 --> 00:27:05,700
Thank you,astrology dude.
531
00:27:06,910 --> 00:27:08,050
Astronomy.
532
00:27:08,110 --> 00:27:09,550
Astronomy.
533
00:27:10,210 --> 00:27:11,270
Thanks.
534
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,230
You remember what Gene
Evans told Charlie?
535
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,010
That he shared his research
536
00:27:17,090 --> 00:27:19,410
on serial killers with a
detective in Bakersfield?
537
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:19,980
Yeah?
538
00:27:20,050 --> 00:27:22,240
Name's Brent Driscoll,and guess what.
539
00:27:22,300 --> 00:27:24,170
He died last year.
540
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:24,830
How?
541
00:27:24,900 --> 00:27:26,470
They said he fell,hit his head,
542
00:27:26,510 --> 00:27:28,470
and wound up drowned
in his backyard pool.
543
00:27:29,300 --> 00:27:31,280
Doesn't that seem just
a bit suspicious to you?
544
00:27:31,350 --> 00:27:32,790
Bakersfield PD look into it?
545
00:27:32,860 --> 00:27:34,180
Well,sure,but they didn't
know there was a killer
546
00:27:34,250 --> 00:27:35,800
who eliminates
investigators and witnesses.
547
00:27:35,870 --> 00:27:37,260
We need Driscoll's files.
548
00:27:37,330 --> 00:27:39,410
I'm driving up tomorrow.
549
00:27:42,310 --> 00:27:43,560
What do you have there?
550
00:27:43,670 --> 00:27:44,880
It's a home improvement object
551
00:27:44,980 --> 00:27:46,200
I'm hope you both will help me out with.
552
00:27:46,230 --> 00:27:47,540
I told you I would.
553
00:27:47,610 --> 00:27:50,360
All right. So,front and
backyard landscaping.
554
00:27:50,420 --> 00:27:51,410
Take a look.
555
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,100
You're asking him about it?
What about me? I own this house.
556
00:27:55,130 --> 00:27:58,280
Oh,yeah,like you care what
hedges he puts out there.
557
00:27:58,310 --> 00:27:59,150
Point made.
558
00:28:01,670 --> 00:28:03,680
How you doing there?
559
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:10,020
David's got half the office trying to ID
potential victims by running down prowler reports.
560
00:28:10,050 --> 00:28:11,860
Hey,you guys remember
the first time,huh?
561
00:28:11,890 --> 00:28:12,820
That first serial case?
562
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:14,760
Remember? It was right
here in this room.
563
00:28:14,830 --> 00:28:16,510
You figured it out together.
564
00:28:16,540 --> 00:28:17,780
Remember?
565
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,980
It was like a lifetime ago.
566
00:28:20,050 --> 00:28:21,240
Five years.
567
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,600
Yeah,it was right before that
you had grown so far apart
568
00:28:23,670 --> 00:28:26,130
that I was the only
thing you had in common.
569
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:27,050
I figured after I died,
570
00:28:27,130 --> 00:28:28,910
you might spend years
without seeing each other,
571
00:28:28,980 --> 00:28:30,370
but to tell you the truth,
572
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,590
I'm not worried about that anymore.
573
00:28:40,430 --> 00:28:42,220
Hey,Charlie,you got something new?
574
00:28:42,290 --> 00:28:44,950
No,I've got something old.
575
00:28:45,030 --> 00:28:48,600
I was talking with Don and my dad about
a previous serial case we worked on,
576
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,120
and it reminded me of this.
577
00:28:52,060 --> 00:28:55,350
So I analyzed these three
clusters,and it gave me
578
00:28:55,390 --> 00:28:57,230
these three probable locations
579
00:28:57,260 --> 00:28:58,920
for the killer.
580
00:29:00,290 --> 00:29:01,670
That's the hot zone equation.
581
00:29:01,750 --> 00:29:02,380
The very same.
582
00:29:02,450 --> 00:29:04,090
Now how does this work?
583
00:29:04,170 --> 00:29:05,730
Well,think of it like a...
584
00:29:05,770 --> 00:29:07,750
Can,uh,can I do this?
585
00:29:10,420 --> 00:29:11,610
It's like a lawn sprinkler
586
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:13,710
spreading hundreds of drops of water.
587
00:29:13,780 --> 00:29:16,370
Now,it's impossible to predict
where the next drop will fall,
588
00:29:16,450 --> 00:29:17,850
but if you took away the sprinkler,
589
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:22,580
from the pattern of drops you
could calculate its location.
590
00:29:22,610 --> 00:29:24,970
You're saying that we can find
out where the killer lives?
591
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,040
Yeah. We know that he's either lived in
592
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,090
or is linked to these three areas.
593
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,470
You run a comparative analysis
against the prowler reports we got?
594
00:29:34,540 --> 00:29:36,470
Oh,I love it when a student grasps
595
00:29:36,500 --> 00:29:38,230
the full potential of an application.
596
00:29:38,260 --> 00:29:40,220
Top 30 potential victims,
597
00:29:40,260 --> 00:29:42,720
ID'd from police
reports,geographic areas,
598
00:29:42,790 --> 00:29:44,040
victim profiles.
599
00:29:44,110 --> 00:29:47,370
The numbers represent the
probability of their being
600
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:48,270
the next victim.
601
00:29:48,310 --> 00:29:50,110
The best we can get is 23%?
602
00:29:50,110 --> 00:29:52,880
In the world of statistical
analysis,23% means...
603
00:29:52,950 --> 00:29:55,090
Uh,can I do this one?
604
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,210
It means get your ass in gear.
605
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,190
Come on,guys. Dinner's ready.
606
00:30:02,730 --> 00:30:05,010
So,he tends to attack couples, right?
607
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:06,610
And also teenagers.
608
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:10,260
Some with their parents
asleep in the same house.
609
00:30:10,330 --> 00:30:12,240
We got people at the 30 residences
610
00:30:12,310 --> 00:30:14,540
that Charlie thinks are
the most likely targets.
611
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,460
Yeah,maybe we'll get lucky,
612
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:17,570
so to speak.
613
00:30:34,430 --> 00:30:36,860
Hey,what's that movie with
Al Pacino-- he's a cop,
614
00:30:36,930 --> 00:30:38,480
and he ends up sleeping
with Ellen Barkin,
615
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,330
and then it turns out that
her ex-husband was the killer?
616
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,150
Sea of Love.
617
00:30:42,220 --> 00:30:43,510
No,that wasn't it.
618
00:30:43,580 --> 00:30:46,980
Yeah,it is. Seen it,like,five times.
619
00:30:49,410 --> 00:30:50,930
You're a big Pacino fan?
620
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,650
No. Michael Rooker fan.
621
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,120
He was Henry in Henry:
Portrait of a Serial Killer.
622
00:30:59,500 --> 00:31:00,520
Oh,yeah,that guy.
623
00:31:00,590 --> 00:31:01,840
That guy's always the killer.
624
00:31:01,950 --> 00:31:04,220
No,he's not. You ever seen
The Replacement Killers?
625
00:31:04,290 --> 00:31:06,490
He was the cop.
626
00:31:07,780 --> 00:31:09,870
Hey,look at there.
627
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:33,220
FBI.Get down!
628
00:31:33,250 --> 00:31:34,170
On your knees!
629
00:31:34,210 --> 00:31:36,440
Okay,don't shoot me!
630
00:31:40,490 --> 00:31:41,700
What the hell's going on?
631
00:31:41,780 --> 00:31:43,280
We're FBI.
632
00:31:43,980 --> 00:31:45,830
Leonard,is that you?
633
00:31:45,900 --> 00:31:46,580
You know him?
634
00:31:46,650 --> 00:31:47,560
Leonard Philber.
635
00:31:47,630 --> 00:31:50,630
Friend of my daughter's.
636
00:31:54,690 --> 00:31:55,810
What are you doing here?
637
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,530
I was just gonna TP the tree,man!
638
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,420
FBI!
639
00:32:34,590 --> 00:32:36,570
Kill your light. Kill your light.
640
00:32:37,670 --> 00:32:38,960
Did you see him?
641
00:32:39,030 --> 00:32:40,500
No.
642
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,440
He had a car hidden
nearby. He ditched it.
643
00:32:50,510 --> 00:32:53,230
Continued on foot or had
a second car somewhere.
644
00:32:53,270 --> 00:32:55,080
He had an escape route
planned out in advance.
645
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:56,740
He knew exactly where he was going.
646
00:32:56,780 --> 00:32:58,680
Everyone all right?
647
00:32:58,960 --> 00:32:59,910
Everyone's fine.
648
00:32:59,940 --> 00:33:01,840
All right. I'll get back to you.
649
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,470
Well,it was the right
place,buddy,but he's gone.
650
00:33:04,540 --> 00:33:06,590
Damn it. He plans ahead.
He knew how to get away.
651
00:33:06,660 --> 00:33:08,630
Listen,I'm worried that
we've presented ourselves
652
00:33:08,700 --> 00:33:10,120
with an even bigger problem here.
653
00:33:10,190 --> 00:33:11,840
What do you mean? This
guy's moved three times.
654
00:33:11,910 --> 00:33:14,880
Now that he was almost caught,he's
going to relocate again.
655
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:16,970
So,the killer started
656
00:33:17,030 --> 00:33:18,640
in northern California,moved south,
657
00:33:18,710 --> 00:33:19,820
and now he's here in L.A.
658
00:33:19,890 --> 00:33:22,260
Like three points of
gravitational force,
659
00:33:22,330 --> 00:33:25,900
the killer residing
somewhere in them,unseen,
660
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,820
exerting his destructive
influence like a black hole.
661
00:33:28,890 --> 00:33:30,280
Yeah. We need to narrow
each hot zone down
662
00:33:30,350 --> 00:33:32,810
and profile all the men in
them and look for a common link.
663
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:34,210
That's a lot of legwork.
664
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,190
All right. I'll get census lists
and Social Security records.
665
00:33:36,260 --> 00:33:37,940
We can start cross-checking.
666
00:33:42,970 --> 00:33:44,790
I found something in the Driscoll files.
667
00:33:44,850 --> 00:33:46,760
Now,Driscoll's the detective
who worked with Gene Evans,
668
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,040
and he supposedly drowned
in a pool last year.
669
00:33:49,110 --> 00:33:52,340
He interviewed a man as a
suspect in a murder in Bakersfield.
670
00:33:53,710 --> 00:33:56,900
Robert Posdner-- the guy who
claimed he saw Gene Evans' killer.
671
00:33:56,930 --> 00:33:58,150
He was a witness in the murder here.
672
00:33:58,180 --> 00:34:01,390
He was also a suspect
in a Bakersfield murder.
673
00:34:01,430 --> 00:34:03,830
Even I have to ask, what are the odds?
674
00:34:04,030 --> 00:34:07,330
Bakersfield files ID
him as Wayne Potvin.
675
00:34:07,410 --> 00:34:08,620
He's one of 19 suspects
676
00:34:08,650 --> 00:34:10,210
in the murder of a married couple.
677
00:34:10,290 --> 00:34:13,490
Now,Driscoll questioned him,did a
background check. He came up clean.
678
00:34:13,550 --> 00:34:14,540
It was a fake ID.
679
00:34:14,610 --> 00:34:17,790
All right,we got more.
We ID'd about 250 men
680
00:34:17,860 --> 00:34:20,670
with ties to three geographic areas.
681
00:34:20,710 --> 00:34:23,370
Ran their DMV photos
through facial recognition.
682
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:24,360
Got four hits.
683
00:34:24,390 --> 00:34:26,500
Thomas Park,David Palmer,
684
00:34:26,570 --> 00:34:28,630
William Potvin,and Robert Posdner.
685
00:34:28,700 --> 00:34:30,010
It's the same guy.
686
00:34:30,050 --> 00:34:33,630
We got our killer. We still can't tie him
through hard evidence to even one murder.
687
00:34:33,700 --> 00:34:35,560
Well,we can at least get
him for faking his identity.
688
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:39,610
That's not enough. We need to put
this guy away for serial murder.
689
00:34:40,500 --> 00:34:43,650
What's next? You tell me,boss.
690
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,840
Right,okay. Um...We-We
put him under surveillance
691
00:34:45,910 --> 00:34:48,200
and we try to see if we can
get enough for a search warrant.
692
00:34:48,230 --> 00:34:49,770
Sounds good.
693
00:34:56,370 --> 00:34:57,340
Follow Two to Follow One.
694
00:34:57,410 --> 00:34:58,970
Eagle has landed.
695
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,840
Follow One to Follow
Two. You've been made.
696
00:35:04,910 --> 00:35:05,840
Don't burn the target.
697
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,780
Copy,Follow One. Breaking away.
698
00:35:10,340 --> 00:35:12,090
It's just weird knowing
who the killer is
699
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:13,610
and not being able to prove it.
700
00:35:13,650 --> 00:35:16,690
Yeah. It's not unlike that
period between forming a theory
701
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:18,490
and then finding the
proof that supports it.
702
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,090
Well,most theories don't
relocate,switch identities,
703
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:22,470
and resume killing people.
704
00:35:22,540 --> 00:35:23,990
No,not that we know of.
705
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:26,940
You realize,Charlie,at some point,
706
00:35:27,020 --> 00:35:29,350
you're going to have
to focus on work here.
707
00:35:29,420 --> 00:35:31,070
You need help with
your particle analysis?
708
00:35:31,140 --> 00:35:32,500
No,no,no. I'm not talking about me.
709
00:35:32,570 --> 00:35:34,040
I'm talking about you. Your potential.
710
00:35:34,110 --> 00:35:35,930
Solving crimes is important,
711
00:35:35,990 --> 00:35:38,600
but discovering the hidden
mathematical structures
712
00:35:38,670 --> 00:35:40,490
within brain operations...
713
00:35:40,530 --> 00:35:43,270
Guys! I got something.
714
00:35:44,550 --> 00:35:46,230
You all right? Uh-huh.
715
00:35:46,300 --> 00:35:47,490
Yeah,I'm good.
716
00:35:47,530 --> 00:35:51,730
My heart hurts,but I just
ran from the parking lot.
717
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:53,140
What's that,like,200 feet?
718
00:35:53,220 --> 00:35:54,080
Here's the thing.
719
00:35:54,150 --> 00:35:55,870
So,I was looking at the whole,uh,
720
00:35:55,940 --> 00:35:58,270
Victim Zero case,right?
The high school girl?
721
00:35:58,330 --> 00:36:00,230
There was a fellow
student who was expelled
722
00:36:00,260 --> 00:36:01,970
from the same school the year before.
723
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:03,350
He was a suspect.
724
00:36:03,420 --> 00:36:05,050
Thomas Park. Thomas Park?
725
00:36:05,090 --> 00:36:08,070
That's one of the identities
the FBI suspect used. Bingo!
726
00:36:08,100 --> 00:36:10,360
This is so Zodiac.
727
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:11,580
Frickin' awesome.
728
00:36:11,650 --> 00:36:14,380
Look at this. I got goose bumps.
729
00:36:14,450 --> 00:36:16,940
And it continues down my spine.
730
00:36:16,980 --> 00:36:20,040
Thomas Park was 18 at the
time of Nancy Kershaw's murder.
731
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,520
They knew each other
and it says here that
732
00:36:22,590 --> 00:36:24,610
he was a suspect because
he kept asking her out
733
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,400
and hanging around her
house. Stalking her.
734
00:36:27,470 --> 00:36:29,970
Nancy Kershaw's
boyfriend,Steve Savard...
735
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:30,980
Now,he got to the house
736
00:36:31,020 --> 00:36:32,910
when the killer was still
there. He chased him away.
737
00:36:32,980 --> 00:36:34,500
Now,one week later,
738
00:36:34,570 --> 00:36:36,010
he was nearly killed in a car accident.
739
00:36:36,110 --> 00:36:37,120
Someone cut his brake line.
740
00:36:38,050 --> 00:36:40,530
Couple of days after Kershaw's murder,
741
00:36:40,930 --> 00:36:42,310
her boyfriend received
a threatening phone call
742
00:36:42,380 --> 00:36:43,690
from somebody claiming to be the killer.
743
00:36:43,730 --> 00:36:46,100
Steve Savard heard the killer's voice.
744
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:47,580
All right. Do we know where he is now?
745
00:36:47,650 --> 00:36:49,560
Well,after the murder,his
family got scared.
746
00:36:49,630 --> 00:36:50,860
They moved from Stockton to Nevada.
747
00:36:50,930 --> 00:36:51,810
Are they still out of state?
748
00:36:51,850 --> 00:36:52,980
'Cause we need to find him right now.
749
00:36:53,050 --> 00:36:54,660
Uh,I did.
750
00:36:54,740 --> 00:36:56,950
I used some of my
contacts to track him down.
751
00:36:57,020 --> 00:36:59,110
His flight should have
landed an hour ago.
752
00:36:59,190 --> 00:36:59,870
Are you kidding me? Huh?
753
00:36:59,940 --> 00:37:02,800
Are you kidding me? He's a little angry.
754
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,000
You know,I just figured
time was sensitive,right?
755
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:06,080
So,I took the liberty of...
756
00:37:06,110 --> 00:37:08,080
Of impersonating an FBI agent?
757
00:37:08,140 --> 00:37:10,020
I didn't tell anyone I was...
758
00:37:10,060 --> 00:37:12,300
I can't help what people assume.
759
00:37:14,340 --> 00:37:17,870
I went to work that
day,like any other day.
760
00:37:17,910 --> 00:37:21,360
I went to work that
day,like any other day.
761
00:37:21,430 --> 00:37:23,040
Amita's designed an
algorithm that captures
762
00:37:23,070 --> 00:37:25,420
Robert Posdner's voice from
his Bakersfield interview.
763
00:37:25,460 --> 00:37:28,150
Ah. When he was interviewed
as a possible suspect?
764
00:37:28,190 --> 00:37:30,060
Yes,and she's mathematically
reconstructed it
765
00:37:30,130 --> 00:37:31,610
to have the same tone and timbre
766
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:33,770
as his voice might have had at age 18.
767
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,090
We have some recordings we
want you to listen to,okay?
768
00:37:39,450 --> 00:37:41,650
Amita,we're ready.
769
00:37:42,530 --> 00:37:43,960
I went to work that day,
770
00:37:43,990 --> 00:37:46,100
like any other day.
771
00:37:46,900 --> 00:37:51,120
I went to work that day,
like any other day.
772
00:37:51,190 --> 00:37:52,970
I went to work that day,
773
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,130
like any other day. That one.
774
00:37:55,170 --> 00:37:57,170
There' s one more.
775
00:37:57,210 --> 00:38:00,350
I went to work that
day,like any other day.
776
00:38:00,390 --> 00:38:02,320
No. No,not that one--
the one before it.
777
00:38:02,350 --> 00:38:03,130
That was the closest.
778
00:38:03,170 --> 00:38:04,000
Closest?
779
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:05,720
Or the same guy that
threatened you 20 years ago?
780
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:07,660
Well,you-you altered it,right?
781
00:38:07,690 --> 00:38:08,720
'Cause now he's an adult.
782
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:10,510
You tried to make it
sound like a teenager.
783
00:38:11,530 --> 00:38:15,210
Can I hear the recording the way it is?
784
00:38:15,240 --> 00:38:18,390
Amita,play #3 straight.
785
00:38:21,260 --> 00:38:24,520
I went to work that
day,like any other day.
786
00:38:27,410 --> 00:38:29,410
That's him.
787
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:32,490
He said he killed Nancy...
788
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,850
and he was going to kill me.
789
00:38:35,910 --> 00:38:37,280
You're sure?
790
00:38:37,350 --> 00:38:39,630
He murdered the girl I loved.
791
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,160
Nearly killed me.
792
00:38:43,530 --> 00:38:47,500
My family moved to another state.
793
00:38:48,970 --> 00:38:51,000
Everything changed.
794
00:38:53,420 --> 00:38:56,480
There's not a week that goes by
795
00:38:56,890 --> 00:38:58,280
I don't wake up from a dead sleep
796
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,670
and hear that voice.
797
00:39:02,950 --> 00:39:05,810
Yeah... I'm sure.
798
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:20,570
Robert Posdner. FBI.
799
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:22,020
Let me see your hands.
800
00:39:22,090 --> 00:39:25,200
It's Agent Sinclair,right?
801
00:39:26,140 --> 00:39:26,890
Robert?
802
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:28,990
What's happening? It's okay,honey.
803
00:39:29,060 --> 00:39:31,240
They're federal agents.
804
00:39:32,460 --> 00:39:33,630
Look at her.
805
00:39:33,670 --> 00:39:38,110
Poor thing has no idea.
It'll be a total shock.
806
00:39:39,810 --> 00:39:44,010
Honey,it's almost time to
pick up the kids,isn't it?
807
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,290
Nobody knew about me.
808
00:39:53,820 --> 00:39:56,120
I liked it that way.
809
00:39:56,310 --> 00:39:59,540
Some serial killers,you
know,they write to the newspapers
810
00:39:59,650 --> 00:40:02,120
or they taunt the police.
811
00:40:02,190 --> 00:40:04,090
I never drew attention to myself.
812
00:40:04,150 --> 00:40:08,710
I just wanted to go about
the things I needed to do.
813
00:40:08,780 --> 00:40:12,870
You know,most serial killers...
814
00:40:14,710 --> 00:40:16,810
They can't control themselves.
815
00:40:16,910 --> 00:40:19,500
They're too damaged.
816
00:40:19,820 --> 00:40:21,700
They aren't careful.
817
00:40:22,430 --> 00:40:26,430
You need to plan if
you're doing it right.
818
00:40:30,270 --> 00:40:32,620
You know,people who know me,
819
00:40:32,690 --> 00:40:36,100
they'll all say they
never suspected anything.
820
00:40:38,770 --> 00:40:41,470
Well,I made sure they didn't.
821
00:40:44,250 --> 00:40:47,230
That's my favorite part.
822
00:41:03,240 --> 00:41:07,250
Took you guys a long,long
time to find me,didn't it?
823
00:41:19,690 --> 00:41:23,180
I know there are reasons,
psychological motivations
824
00:41:23,250 --> 00:41:27,030
for why sociopaths
become serial killers.
825
00:41:27,070 --> 00:41:29,540
But this guy...
826
00:41:29,830 --> 00:41:31,790
He just seems evil.
827
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,380
You really weren't expecting a
rational explanation, were you?
828
00:41:36,450 --> 00:41:37,890
I mean,with these guys,you know,
829
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:40,090
no matter how smart and
focused they appear to be,
830
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,610
it always comes down
to an irrational rage.
831
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:44,850
And in the end,it's
rationality that caught him.
832
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,150
Rationality and logic.
833
00:41:47,250 --> 00:41:49,600
That and a little obsession.
834
00:41:49,700 --> 00:41:51,670
Your brother gets stabbed,
835
00:41:51,740 --> 00:41:53,780
and you react by
catching a serial killer.
836
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,250
You got a hell of a way
of working through things.
837
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:57,460
Some people drink.
838
00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:59,300
Some gamble.
839
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:00,570
I analyze data.
840
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:10,890
So Charlie,how about
tomorrow,we unpack your office
841
00:42:10,970 --> 00:42:13,170
and get you set up in
your new,prestigious space?
842
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:14,800
Yes,and locate several books of mine
843
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:16,440
I think got left in your stuff.
844
00:42:16,510 --> 00:42:19,170
All right. I'm ready.
845
00:42:19,240 --> 00:42:20,780
What about you,Donnie? Hmm?
846
00:42:20,810 --> 00:42:22,600
You going to be hanging out with
me for the next couple of weeks?
847
00:42:22,670 --> 00:42:24,530
Sorry,pal. I'm back to full duty Monday.
848
00:42:24,930 --> 00:42:26,600
Ooh,there's a quick recovery.
849
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:29,490
So,why don't you try to put
some time between injuries,huh?
850
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:31,340
Trust me. I plan to take it easy.
851
00:42:31,380 --> 00:42:33,400
Yeah,right.
